I don't know.
Maybe it's a
special talent, but I'm forever finding things.
People, animals.
I found this cat once, and I took him with me wherever I
would go.
But I ran out of money.
I couldn't afford to feed him
anymore, and he ran away.
I know it must be a painful subject, but, uh, have you
ever considered getting a job?
Sure, I've had all kinds of
jobs.
Let's see, I was a waitress a
few times.
I worked at a department
store in the bargain basement, and I even sold pots and pans door to door.
May I have some more milk?
Please?
You think I'm some kind of bum or something?
Is that why you asked me
about getting a job?
Well, if you're old enough to be on your own, you
oughta be mature enough to work.
Where did you read that?
Paula Harmon.
Is she a relative?
My ex-wife.
You send her money?
No. Blood.
She gets me for a quart
a month.
Is she pretty?
I used to think so.
How old is she?
She's 39, but you'd have to stretch
her on the rack to get her to admit it.
What do you mean, "What does she do?"
Does she work?
What does she
do for a living?
Nothing, and she's exceedingly
good at it.
Where's all this going?
I don't know.
Just seems to me that 39 is
certainly mature enough to work.
Gee, I just love your house.
Do you mind if I look around?
You can, uh, search me before
I leave.
Go look.

Injury can cause blood loss through bleeding. A
healthy adult can lose almost 20% of blood volume (1 L) before the first
symptom, restlessness, begins, and 40% of volume (2 L) before shock sets in.
人若一次失血量，超過總血液量的20％即會休克；超過 25％～30％，即會死亡。
這是以a quart的「血液」來譬喻高額的「瞻養費」。
