851
I love this place, too.

852
I just -- I think it's time
for us to face the music.

853
 

854
I never thought I'd be poor
at this stage of my life.

855
You know, Carlos,

856
I've been broke
a lot of times in my life,

857
But I've never been poor,

858
Because poor is
just a state of mind.

859
And right now,

860
You and I are just...

861
Without funds?

862
Exactly.

863
  I guess
we could get an apartment,

864
Start over.

865
Who knows?

866
It might even be fun.

867
And once we're back
on our feet...

868
We'll get a house
as big as this one.

869
Bigger.

870
Ha ha.

871
So I get my wife
this dog for her birthday.

872
A stray from the pound.

873
Cheapest gift
I've ever gotten her,

874
And she loves it,
so I'm a genius, right?

875
Then I find out it's got
this weird¹ blood disease.

876
Now I'm laying out $600 a month
for doggie medicine

877
for this mutt,
and I'm a genius, right?

878
Aw, don't be cynical².
you did something nice,

879
made your wife happy.

880
Now...

881
let's talk about what's going
to make you happy.

882
Yes,
each new day in suburbia

883
brings with it
a new set of lies.

884
The worst are the ones
we tell ourselves

885
before we fall asleep.

886
We whisper them in the dark,

887
telling ourselves...

888
we're happy.

889
or...

890
that he's happy.

891
that we can change.

892
Or that he will change
his mind.

893
We persuade ourselves
we can live with our sins...

894
or that we can live
without him.

895
Yes, each night
before we fall asleep,

896
we lie to ourselves

897
in the desperate,
desperate hope

898
that come morning,
it will all be true.
