Go and steam
the tablecloths for tonight.

I'm going to paint over that

(CHUCKLES)

Hey, hey!

Thank you for doing this.

You look really pretty
right now.

Oh, you like this...

...this hot Mormon look?

(CHUCKLING)

I'm just telling you now
in case my mom says

something dumb
like you're fat or whatever.

I thought you said when she says

shit like that,
it means she cares.

Hi, Evelyn.

- Mrs Wang!
- Hey, Mom.

I only cook enough food
for three people.

Now I have to cook more.

It's Joy. She brought Becky.

- (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
- (DOOR OPENS)

- JOY: Hi!
- Hi, honey!

BECKY: Hi, Mr Wang!

WAYMOND: Hi, Becky!
Thank you for coming.

Please call me Waymond.
Here, sit.

EVELYN: You know,
he doesn't have to stay.

JOY: Who's he?

- EVELYN: Becky.
- Becky's a she.

(SCOFFS) You know me.

I always mix up 'he', 'she'.

In Chinese,
just one word - 'ta' - so easy.

And the way you two are dressed,

I'm sure I'm not the only one
calling him 'he'.

I mean her 'him'. Ugh!

Anyways, my English is fine
and we have Google.

So you don't have to come
and be a translator.

- You stay here.
- (BECKY SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

(EVELYN WHISPERING)
And she can go.

JOY: Look, I honestly
think it's weird, OK?

But Becky wants to help.
Right, Becky?

I always learn something when
I hang out with the elderly.

Old people are very wise.

Hmm. It's OK.

We'll take Gong Gong
with us to the meeting.

Uh, you and Becky stay here
and decorate. Hmm?

Where is he?
When can I meet him?

(JOY CLEARS THROAT)

- (DOORBELL BUZZES)
- EVELYN: Huh! Customers.

Eat fast.

(DOOR OPENS)

- Mom.
- What?

Mom, just wait.

Wait? Wait?
No time to wait today.

- Just please...
- (DOOR OPENS)

Joy, any other time,
I beg you to come and eat

or call me or anything,
but today very busy.

Mom, this is literally
what it's always like.

EVELYN: Wrong white paint!

I know you haven't always
liked Becky, OK, but...

I like Becky. She is very nice.

You are very lucky...

- She's half Mexican.
- (THUDDING)

Ugh!

- Huh!
- No shoes in washer.

Broken, you pay, yeah?

(SIGHS) But Gong Gong,
his heart cannot take it,

especially after
such a long flight.

You want him to come all the way
from China to die like that?

- He's not gonna die.
- (WOMAN CHATTERING)

Ooh!

- How can I help you?
- Just hold on. I can't hear you.

- Just hold on.
- How can I help you?

I'm here to pick up some shirts.

- I called, like, three times.
- Give me your ticket.

- Mmm-hmm, yeah.
- I find for you.

- No, I have the ticket.
- MAN: Babe...

She's just asking
for it 'cause that's, like,

the way that it works.

They don't read minds.

- (MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
- Then hang up! Thank you.

JOY: We've been together
for three years.

Don't you think Gong Gong
would want to know?

Let him enjoy his party tonight.

(JOY SCOFFS) Yeah, you think
Becky's gonna get through

the whole party without
introducing herself...

- (SINGSONG) Evelyn!
- JOY: Have you met Becky?

Guess whose $20 got eaten
by the machine again.

Waymond! Customers need you!

WAYMOND: Alright, coming!

Evelyn, you know,
my wife used to wear

that exact same perfume,
God rest her soul.

Are you coming
to the party tonight?

Yeah, I got my ticket
right here.

Sorry. It was too crowded here
so I moved some upstairs.

I think the clothes
are happier there.

(JOY SIGHS)

(BREATHING DEEPLY)

See? They're happier here.

No more Google eyes! (MUTTERING)

Mom, can we please
talk about Becky?

I still don't know
what his brain is thinking.

JOY: Can Becky
come tonight or not?

- Stop changing the subject.
- I'm not.

You know, it's like our auditor.

She is a terrible person.

She keeps targeting
the Chinese in the community.

(EVELYN SIGHS)

You know, two years of meetings,

she puts a lien
on our laundromat.

And you know
what your father does?

He brings her cookies.

(MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY)

- (STATIC FLICKERS)
- (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

Every day I fight, I fight.

I fight for all of us.

Every day is a battle here.

Oh, your father, he doesn't care
about the way things are...

(EVELYN CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

I try to make our lives
easier and more simple.

(DISTORTED STATIC)

WAYMOND: You should
have told me earlier.

- That's really impressive.
- (EVELYN SPEAKING MANDARIN)

Evelyn, you have
to see Rick dance.

Look, he knows all of the moves.

(CHUCKLES)

JOY: Becky,
I'll fucking kill myself.

(WAYMOND CHATTERING
INDISTINCTLY)

He wants to be an actor,
just like you did.

- (RICK AND WAYMOND LAUGH)

- Hey!
- Rick, you're so terrific.

JOY: I know. I just...

I just don't know how to be
any fucking clearer.

It's like she can choose -

either you come
to the party with me

and Gong Gong
is eternally ashamed

until he forgets it all
and then he dies

or you don't come with me
and then he still dies.

- What? Huh!
- (MOUTHS)

- What are you saying?
- That was a joke.

Uh, that's not
a very funny joke, honey.

- Hey, guys...
- This is only $10.

I thought you people
were very good with math.

- Next time I give you interest.
- WAYMOND: Evelyn?

- Mom, Mom...

at this point I do not...

(CALLS OUT IN CANTONESE)

It was nice to meet you!

(LAUGHS)

(MUTTERS)

EVELYN: Hi!
Give us five-star cleaning.

- Also...
- (WOMAN CONTINUES CHATTERING)

There is a Chinese
New Year party tonight,

open to all the customers
in the community.

Thank you.

- Please come and enjoy...
- This is fine.

- ...the good food...
- OK.

- ...and nice music, OK?
- Alright.

I get you an invite.
Moment... moment, please.

- Can you hear this right now?
- Joy, wait! Please!

I have something to say to you!

What?

(EVELYN HESITATING)

You...

You are getting fat.

You may be in grave danger.

There's no time to explain.
Hold this.

Why are you doing this?

Pay attention.

When we leave this elevator,
you can either turn left

towards your scheduled
audit appointment

or you can turn right and go
into the janitor's closet.

Why would I go
into the janitor's...

Not now.

(EVELYN EXCLAIMS)

Why you download
all these apps on my phone?

You're gonna feel a slight

Don't even talk to me about this

because I won't remember.

- Shh.

(PHONE TRILLS)

AUTOMATED VOICE:
Mental scan complete.

(EXHALES)

Talk to you soon.

(BELL DINGS)

(GONG GONG SPEAKING CANTONESE

(UNEASY MUSIC PLAYING)

WAYMOND: Hello!

(DEIRDRE SPEAKS DISTANTLY)
Mrs Wang?

Mrs Wang?

Mrs Wang, are you with us?

Yes.

Of course. I am here.

- Just thinking.
- Oh, OK.

Well, I was just hoping...

...that you could explain this.

This is a receipt.

My receipt.

Look, I...

...I was just hoping
you could enlighten me

as to how,
as a laundromat owner,

a karaoke machine

could constitute
a business expense?

I am a singer.

(SIGHS)

- Of course you are.
- WAYMOND: It's true.

She has a beautiful voice. Oh!

Evelyn, sing a song for her.

- Shh!
- No, no, please.

That will not be necessary.

But I will need
a separate Schedule C

for each of these businesses

because based on what
you're trying to deduct,

you're also a novelist
and a chef.

Last time, you told me that...

(TUTTING) Please.

...a teacher,

uh, and a singing coach

and a 'Watsu' technician.

I'm sorry.
What... what is 'Watsu'?

WAYMOND: It's a water massage.

DEIRDRE: What's a water massage?

WAYMOND: Like...
like for back pain.

You go get a water massage.

- DEIRDRE: Oh, you go?
- WAYMOND: Yes.

(VOICES ECHO) What's happening?

...like I'm talking
to my ex-husband.

Like I said to you before,
co-mingling of your...

- It's you messing with my head.
- Shh!

- Don't shh me!
- You got to relax your body.

Don't... (MUFFLED SCREAMING)

(WHISPERING)
Calm down, please!

- Calm down.
- (MUFFLED EXCLAIMING)

Relax your body
in the other universe. Please.

DEIRDRE: ..these deductions...

ALPHA WAYMOND:
Go into auto-pilot.

DEIRDRE: You can't then
deduct it if it's an off...

- (EXHALES)
- ALPHA WAYMOND: Good. Good.

They don't know you and I
are in this universe yet

so, hopefully, I'll have
some time to explain.

I am not your husband.
At least not the one you know.

I am another version of him

from another life path,
another universe.

I'm here because
we need your help.

Very busy today.
No time to help you.

Shh!

There is a great evil
that has taken root in my world

and has begun
spreading its chaos

throughout the many verses.

I have spent years searching

for the one who might
be able to match

this great evil
with an even greater good

and bring back balance.

All those years of searching
have brought me here...

- DEIRDRE: Mrs Wang?
- ..to this universe.

- DEIRDRE: Hello?!
- To you.

I know it's a lot
to take in right now...

Mrs Wang?!

Hello?

Look, I'm sure you have
a lot on your mind,

but I cannot imagine
anything mattering more

than the conversation
we are now having

concerning your tax liability.

Uh, need I remind you
that there is

already a lien on your property?

Repossession is well
within our rights.

I know. I am paying attention.

Do you see these?

You don't get one of these

unless you've seen
a lot of bullshit.

Excuse my French.

Now you may... (CLEARS THROAT)

...only see a pile of
boring forms and numbers,

but I see a story.

With nothing
but a stack of receipts,

I can trace the ups and downs
of your lives.

And it does not look good.

It does not look good.

- But...
- Uh...

Sorry, my wife confuses
her hobbies for businesses.

An honest mistake.

DEIRDRE: Oh! OK.

Well, with all of these, um...

..."honest mistakes,"

I mean, even if we don't
charge you with fraud,

we'll most certainly
have to fine you

for gross negligence.

You're always
trying to confuse us

with these big words.

(SLOWLY) I thought
you were going to bring

your daughter
to help you translate.

- I am going to bring my...
- (ALPHA WAYMOND WHISPERING) Hey!

- WAYMOND: Sorry.
- ALPHA WAYMOND: Evelyn?

She was going to come...

Evelyn!
Are you paying attention?

I cannot talk now.

DEIRDRE: She's too busy
to help her parents?

Unless you can help me
with my taxes.

- (GROANS)
- What is "gross necklaces"?

I know you have a lot
of things on your mind,

but nothing could
possibly matter more

than this conversation
we are having

right now concerning the fate

of every single world
of our infinite multiverse.

DEIRDRE: Where's the respect
for elders?

My dear Evelyn,

I know you.

With every passing moment,

you fear you might have
missed your chance

to make something of your life.

I'm here to tell you

every rejection,

every disappointment
has led you here

to this moment.

Don't let anything
distract you from it.

(CHUCKLES)

Do you think this is funny?

(SPEAKING CANTONESE)

So what will it be?

(OVERLAPS IN ENGLISH
AND MANDARIN) I'm thinking.

- (DOOR SLAMS)
- (GLASS SHATTERS)

Our time here is up.

- They're going to kill us.
- What?

You think you can give us more
time so we can redo all this?

Do not worry,
this is just a burner universe

we are using for communication.

Oh-oh-oh!

You will know when
it is time to fight.

You want to redo?
You're going to resubmit?

- I will be in contact soon.
- Shh, shh, shh.

I think my other husband
is messing up the audit.

Maybe we can look at
all the receipts again and...

Evelyn! Trust no-one. Oh!

(SCREAMS)

(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)

(DOOR OPENS)

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

Oh, no, no. No, no, no. No...!

(SCREAMS)

- (SPEAKING CANTONESE)
- (SPEAKING MANDARIN)

DEIRDRE: Oh, dear lord.

(WAYMOND SPEAKING MANDARIN)

OK. Everything OK.

(CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)

I think I forget
something at home.

Uh, sit down.

(BOTTLE CAP CLATTERS ON TABLE)

I think I'm going
to regret this.

(TRASH CAN CLANGS)

You can go.

What?

DEIRDRE: You... you will have...

You will have until
I leave the office tonight

to bring everything in,
6:00 p.m.

Last chance.

- Oh, tomorrow is better...
- Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you. 6:00 p.m.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you for the cookies.

They look delicious.

Last chance!

WAYMOND: Have a nice day.

Last chance.

(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)

Oh, no.

Evelyn! Evelyn!

So you know about this?

It was you. Like,
you who was in the elevator.

I was in the elevator.

Come back next week.

(SHUSHES)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(GASPS)

(WHISPERS)
I'm not ready to fight.

I am not ready to fight.

Maybe we don't have a choice.

EVELYN: What?

(GONG GONG SPEAKING CANTONESE)

Switch shoes to what? (GRUNTS)

- Ow! Oh!
- WAYMOND: Evelyn?!

DEIRDRE:
Someone call security!

What are you doing?

You told me to do it!

You said I would know
when it is the time to fight!

She was coming after us.

(GROANING) Oh!

Oh, you have no idea, lady. Oh!

Assaulting an IRS agent?

You have no idea!
(CONTINUES GROANING)

"Dissolution of marriage"?

Yes, I'm on the tenth floor.

No...

Your brother gets a divorce,

now you think divorce is OK?

I don't think it's OK!

We made a sacred promise.

(GROANS IN FRUSTRATION)

I told you to stay low
and out of sight.

Oh, now you're here?

Huh! Stop confusing me,
coming and going.

- Stop it, stop it, stop...
- Relax.

- I'll get you out of this.
- (BELL DINGS)

Stop coming here.

OK, folks.
Everyone remain calm.

DEIRDRE: Oh, thank... thank God!

It's that one right there.
The Chinese lady!

No! It's all his fault!

DEIRDRE: Right there,
she assaulted me!

OK, I need you two
to get on the ground

with your hands
behind your heads.

OK, OK, OK.

Sir, please comply.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

(BAG ZIPS)

OK, whatever you're thinking
about doing, don't do it.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

Sir?

(HEADSET CHIMING

(BEEPS)

(WHIRRING)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(SOFTLY) It's OK.

OK, sir. That's enough.

(ROCKS CLINK)

(GRUNTING ANGRILY)

(YELLS)

(SLOW-MOTION YELLING)

Oh, no, Craig! Fuck.

Arggh!

(ALARM BEEPING)

On your feet.

Who... What is happening?

I'm not the Waymond
who wants to divorce you.

I'm the Waymond
who is saving your life.

Now, you can either come with me

and live up to
your ultimate potential

or lie here and live
with the consequences.

I want to lie here.

- (SIGHS)
- (EVELYN YELLS) Hey, hey, hey.

No, no! Put me down! No, no!

(WHIMPERING)

(WOMAN CRYING)

Citizens of
the 4,655th Thetaverse,

you are about to be graced

by the presence
of our sovereign leader,

Jobu Tupaki.

Now let me assure you
of one thing.

Just like the rest
of your miserable lives,

this is nothing more

than a statistical
inevitability.

JOBU: Duck.

- Duck.
- (GASPS)

Duck...

BAGEL DEIRDRE: Jobu Tupaki

has seen all and knows all.

She knows what makes you tick,

on what fragile branches
your self-worth rests.

- JOBU: This one.
- (GASPS)

(EVELYNS SCREAMING)

(JOBU TUTTING)

JOBU: Hang on.

Don't die yet, alright, buddy?

(JOBU SIGHS) Ugh.

(JOBU SIGHS)

(SHUSHES)

(RADIO STATIC BUZZING)

- (SHUSHES)
- (WOMAN WHIMPERS)

JOBU: It's not her.

REPORTER: ...police are
looking for all information.

This is a developing story.

- What we do know...
- JOBU: They might be close.

We do have unconfirmed
photos of the suspects.

(STATIC CLICKING)

An unidentified man

went berserk
at the regional office

for the Internal Revenue Service
in Simi Valley this morning.

Police aren't releasing
any information...

- Is that where your parents are?
- This is a developing story.

- But we do have unconfirmed...
- BECKY: Are you OK?

...photos of the suspects.

- If you recognise them...
- BECKY: Hey!

- Are you OK?
- ..help identify them.

BECKY: Joy?

If you recognise these two,

police are seeking help
identifying the assailants.

(MUTED AUDIO)

My husband won't
even kill a spider.

How can you be the same person?

ALPHA WAYMOND: You underestimate
how the smallest decisions

can compound into significant
differences over a lifetime.

Every tiny decision creates

another branching
universe, another...

Were you not paying
attention before?

Of course. You're just
very bad at explaining...

Shh!

Don't push me!

(GASPS) Oh, my God!
We have to go back.

We forgot my father!

Don't worry. We're
monitoring him. He's safe.

- I don't know. Are you sure?
- Yes.

(PEOPLE SHOUTING AND SCREAMING)

MAN: Hey, look, come on!

Look, this is your universe,

one bubble floating in
the cosmic foam of existence.

Every surrounding bubble
has slight variations.

But the further away
you get from your universe,

the bigger the differences.

This is where I am from,
The Alpha verse.

The first universe to make
contact with the others.

You can call me Alpha Waymond.

In this world,

you were a brilliant woman.

In your search to prove

the existence
of other universes,

you discovered a way
to temporarily link

your consciousness to another
version of yourself,

accessing all of their memories,

their skills,
even their emotions.

Like you with the fanny pack?

Exactly.
It's called Verse Jumping.

"Verse Jumping."

I need you to learn
how to do it right now.

Right now?!

It may be our only chance
of getting out of here alive.

(HEADSET POWERING UP)

- (BEEPS)
- (INHALES SHARPLY)

(EXHALES)

Two guards coming this way.

On my signal, try to blend in.

(MUTTERING INDISTINCTLY)

Why don't you get
your Evelyn to do this?

My Evelyn is dead.

Go! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, what is going on?

Help us! Help us!

(EXCLAIMING IN MANDARIN)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

How did I die?

I've seen you die
a thousand ways,

in a thousand worlds.

In every single one,
you were murdered.

What? Why would anybody
want to kill me?

She's an omniversal being
with unimaginable power,

an agent of pure chaos,

with no real motives or desires.

- Jobu Tupaki.
- You're just making up sounds.

- (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
- Shh!

We need another exit.

So let her destroy
the other bubbles.

You said there are
so many of them.

(SCOFFS) Maybe it's OK
if we lose some,

but just leave me out of it.

It's not so simple.

She's been building something.

We thought it was
some sort of black hole.

But it appears to consume

more than just light and matter.

We don't know exactly
what it is.

We don't know what it's for.

But we can all

feel it.

You've been feeling it too,
haven't you?

Something is off.

Your clothes never wear
as well the next day.

Your hair never falls
in quite the same way.

Even your coffee tastes...

...wrong.

Our institutions are crumbling.

Nobody trusts
their neighbour anymore.

And you stay up at night
wondering to yourself...

How can we get back?

This is
the Alphaverse's mission -

to take us back
to how it's supposed to be.

But that begins
with finding the one

who can stand up to Jobu's
perverse shroud of chaos.

And you think it's me?

Why else would
we risk everything

to get you out of here?

BAGEL DEIRDRE:
Oh, there you are.

Oh, Miss Deirdre!

I'm sorry I punched you, but...

- (EXHALES)
- EVELYN: Look.

I think I finally
understand why...

- (EVELYN GASPING)
- (HEADSET POWERING UP)

What is she doing?

Verse Jumping. Run!

(BEEPS)

(WHEEZES AND SCREAMS)

(SCREAMING)

- Come on.
- Oh!

She jumped somewhere.
Brute force.

The sumo wrestler?

Counter with someone agile.

On your perimeter, we've got
a break dancer, mime...

- A gymnast.
- Give me gymnast!

- Go!
- Calculating route.

(COMPUTER BEEPING)

MALE ALPHA OFFICER: OK,
some paper cuts, four of them.

One between each finger.

(GRUNTING SOFTLY)

Paper cuts only happen
when you aren't trying.

It's impossible.

Probability - 1 in 8,000.

It's the strongest
jumping pad we have.

- What are you doing?
- Come on, come on.

(EXCLAIMS SOFTLY)

There we go, one.

Can you hear me?

You're going to have

Verse Jump?

Hello?

Concentrate on a universe

in which you studied
martial arts.

MALE ALPHA OFFICER:
OK, I'm locking in.

AUTOMATED VOICE:
Calculations complete.

"Profess your love."

ALPHA WAYMOND: You're gonna have
to profess your love to Deirdre.

- (SCOFFS) No way.
- It's your jumping pad.

It's like eating the chap stick
or switching shoes.

We developed an algorithm
that calculates

which statistically
improbable action

will place you in a universe

on the edge
of your local cluster,

which then sling shots you
to the desired universe.

(MUTTERS IN MANDARIN)

That doesn't make any sense!

- Exactly.
- (GASPS)

The less sense it makes,
the better.

The Stochastic Path Algorithm
is fuel led by random actions.

Tell her you love her
and mean it.

Are there any
other jumping pads?

The next best paths are break
your own arm or take a nap.

You're not sleepy, are you?

(EVELYN SHRIEKS)

I love you.

AUTOMATED VOICE:
Jumping pad failure.

Evelyn, wait! No!

- Ow!

I thought I was disconnected.

Why was I still there?

Your mind, it's like
a clay pot holding water.

Every jump opens another crack,

causing things to leak through.

With training, you will learn
to reseal these cracks.

Eat. You need energy.

Cream cheese.

Mmm!

In my universe,
the cattle were killed off.

One of the many things
we've lost

in our war against Jobu.

Oh, my God.

What if...

...what if I want to go back?

What if I want to go back
to the other universe?

(YELLING) Shut it down!
Shut it down, you hear me!

- Come back!
- OK! OK! OK!

I... I'm back!

Listen, you're only using

the other worlds to acquire
special skills.

Do you understand?

If you fall
for their temptations,

you invite contradiction, chaos.

The clay pot could shatter
and you could die, or far worse.

What can be worse than death?

We should keep moving
until reinforcements come.

No, no, no!

Enough of your clay pots,
cream cheese, no cows.

Explain it all to me now.

You're right.

In the Alpha verse,

we began training many
young minds to Verse Jump.

But there was one who was far
and above the most gifted.

Our little explorer.

You saw her potential...

...so you pushed her

beyond her limit.

AUTOMATED VOICE:
Warning. Unstable.

(HEADSET CHIMES AND POWERS UP)

ALPHA WAYMOND: Though the
overloaded mind usually dies,

instead her mind was fractured.

AUTOMATED VOICE:
Warning. Unstable.

- (DISTORTED SCREAMING)
- Mind fracturing.

ALPHA WAYMOND: Now her mind
experiences every world,

every possibility,

at the same exact time,

commanding
the infinite knowledge

and power of the multiverse.

Now she's seen too much,

lost any sense of morality,

any belief in objective truth.

EVELYN: What does she want?

ALPHA WAYMOND: No-one knows.

All we know

is she's looking for you.

Hey, you said
I was the wrong one.

What you did back there,
it changed my mind.

You were incredible.

No backup was requested.

Sesame.

Poppy seed.

Salt.

And it collapsed in on itself.

No, I see it so clearly.

This is so awkward.

This is awkward, right?

Do you still want
to do your party?

We can do whatever we want.

Nothing matters.

(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)

JOY: OK, we're definitely
late now, guys.

Do you have to bring all these?

Mmm-hmm.

That needs to go in the bag too.

(JOY SCOFFS) Taxes suck.

(JOY HUMMING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

Thank you for the ride, Becky!

Hey, it's good.

Mmm-hmm. You got this, OK?

- Becky?
- I'll call you after.

You need to grow your hair.

- (CHUCKLING)
- Wow.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

I'll call you later!

EVELYN: Hurry, hurry!

I gotta pee. Hold on.

OK. Hurry.

(SECURITY SCANNER BEEPING)

(CHUCKLES, SPEAKS MANDARIN)

DEIRDRE: OK. Yes.

I am happy to say I do think

things are better.

This is... this is
an improvement.

And I'm glad that you listened.

But we have a problem

because you listened,
but you didn't listen

and that has to do
with the Schedule C.

- You see, you did...
