Film Transcript

I don't get it. I think I live a pretty good life. I have a roof over my head, a family that loves me, friends, clothes. Then why do I feel so much? Why aren't I happy all the time? Mom says it's normal. My doctor says it's normal. But I don't feel normal. What even is normal?

Well, I'll let you know: immediate gratification, confidence, serenity and glitter. Now we incubate. Shut up, bro. No, it's not the soup dumplings from Trader Joe's. It's "You stole my chromosome." Wa!

My garden is so loud. Quiet. What are you talking about? Loud because of the chainsaws. They're not that bad. You get ear specks. My ears aren't broken. But they're never mine. You should put these on. But what? I'm sprinting. Is it wrong, though? Of course not. There's nothing wrong with how you feel, but this will help.

Well, that was an aggressively metaphorical dream. Sam, what's wrong? I know. I trust me. Well, there has to be something wrong. Wait, no, there doesn't. There's nothing wrong with how you feel. But I think I know what might help. There's no such thing as normal. We all experience the world differently, and we're allowed to feel authentically and express it honestly, even if there's no name or diagnosis for it, because there's no one-size-fits-all forever fix. But we need changes moment to moment. And right now what Sam needs is the last dumpling.
