Take your seat upon the earth. Let your arms rest comfortably on your thighs
As you bring awareness to your breathing
Maria
Allow any tension to exit downward out of your body and into the earth.
Through loving-kindness meditation
Maria
we increase compassion for ourselves.
Which we can then extend upward, first to loved ones, then to neutral people.
Then to hostile people
People you have difficulties with
and eventually to all living things
Maria
What is it, Phil?
What are you doing with your hands?
I'm trying to tell you to loose the headphones.
Why?
So you can interact with the customers.
Are you serious?
Why wouldn't I be?
They don't want that. Sue, is there anything we need to talk about?
Not that I can think of.
I like a little conversation with the transaction
Sandy, you'll know we want your opinion when you hear us asked for it
You're right
No, she's not right. Listen. No headphones.
It isn't in the handbook because it's so obvious.
God damn it, it's hot.
For you especially, dear.
I have got to get to the river.
The River
Phil, can I talk to you for a second?
Sure, I'm too glad I can hear you right now
Can you seriously not let that go?
Grow up
I'm really busy here so can you make it quick?
Yeah
Look, I gotta go. I gotta get to the river.
Well, you're supposed to be here till 4. So after 4 it will be a great time to schedule that.
I'm dying here, Phil.
It's so fucking hot
You think I don't know how hot it is?
Look at this shirt
I mean, I'm sweating through it badly.
I'm waiting for this first one to dry out so I could change into that.
I'm going through three shirts and I haven't even finished my breakfast here.
I'm already nauseates, Phil. You don't have to do this.
Alright
Sympathize you with all the heat.
Great, but, Phil, I'm very pregnant.
Do you have any idea how uncomfortable this is?
I feel like I have some idea.
Look at me, I'm uncomfortable all the time. You're, like, on the 9-month tourist visa to my discomfort.
No, no. Being fat is not nearly as bad. You've got whole life to get used to it. Come on.
There's no one even here.
No, it's Friday. All the weekenders are in their cars on the way from the city
to their empty houses and this is their first stop, you know that.
You kept by, just do me a favor, please. I'm for twelve months pregnant.
I didn't make you that way
You're God damn right you didn't. And you'll never have a chance.
Why would you say that? That's so hurtful.
You know I've been really unlucky with women lately
So really awful time to tease me.
I can't remember last time I had a date. I'm struggling with post lyme disease syndrome
I ran over my own dog in my driveway yesterday.
It's hurt bad
Customers can see my nipples. You know these things.
Said I was sorry. This whole situation has made me very crabby.
And by the way it was really mean what you said to Sandy too.
The irony is that you wouldn't let me listen to my loving-kindness meditation.
F, I've got to get to that river.
Fine. Go.
Oh, Phil, thanks, man.
I'd hug you, but... it's just disgusting.
Oh my God, it's so good.
Breathe gently
What the hell is this now?
May I be filled with loving-kindness
I think there're some New York plates on this thing.
Guy, what are you doing?
Oh, Massachusetts
It's my honest mistake.
May I be safe from inner and outer dangers.
May I be well in body and mind
Jesus, what now?
May I be at ease and happy
Idiot
Fuck
Excuse me
What?
Would you mind buying me something in there? I'll pay you.
Jimmy, what's wrong with you? I know your mother.
She wouldn't mind
Shouldn't you be in school?
Come on
No, forget it. I'm just trying to get to the river.
Idiot
Dominic
He is not here
Okay
I need some gas for my car, but it's down the street.
Most people drive right in
That's funny. I guess you have one of those to-go containers.
Dominic took the last one and he's out gassing-up something.
Will he be back soon?
No
You've gotta to be fucking shitting me.
I wouldn't do that
Jimmy
What?
What do you want?
I'll do it
But not for money
Hey, Maria.
Hey, Joe.
Hey
I need some green alcohol.
Oh
Is this for you?
Yeah
It's not for Jimmy?
He's outside bothering people
No, it's for me
Don't think you should drink this.
It's not for me to drink. I'm having a party.
Oh, can I come?
No
Why not?
Cause I gave the cater the final account this morning.
It can't be changed.
Now
Ok, I don't like food
I also need a pouch of Green River tobacco.
But your baby
This shit is not for me, Joe. Okay?
This is for Jimmy who's waiting outside
He's desperate to drink some fucking green alcohol, pouch out of a trash can and stand around smoking cigarettes.
You can't stop him, I can't stop him, the law can't stop him.
Just give me this shit so I could go to the river.
Let's go
Finally
Alright, we're good. We're good.
We're good
Hey, Maria
It's fucking hot, isn't it?
God damn it, Dominic.
Hey
What's that a breeze? Now?
It's not even hot here.
