"I think theres something very very wrong with me..."

"Jennifer Jason Leigh - Lisa Hesselman"

"Sometimes theres no lesson. Thats a lesson in itself."

"What is to be human? What is it to ache? What is it to be.. alive? Each person you speak to has had a day. Some of the days have been good, some bad. Each person you speak to has had a childhood. Each has a body. Each body has aches. Look for what is special about each individual. Focus on that. Remember there is someone out there for everyone. Our time is limited, we forget that. Death comes, that’s it. Soon it’s as if we never existed. So, remember to smile."

"Always remember the customer is an individual. Just like you. Each person you speak to has had a day. Some of the days have been good, some bad, but theyve all had one. Each person you speak to has had a childhood. Each has a body. Each body has aches. What is it to be human? What is it to ache? What is it to be alive? [scoffs.] I dont know. What is it to ache? I dont know. What is it to be alive? I dont know... Uh, yes. "How do I talk to a customer?" How do I talk to a customer? These are the important questions for a customer service representative. What do I say? Do I smile while Im on the phone? Well, they can tell, if youre smiling, even if they cant see you. Did you know that? Try it as an experiment on the phone with a friend. Try it. Go ahead. Watch. [turns around.] Im lost. [chuckles and turns back around.] See I was smiling when I said that? Ive lost my love. Shes an unmoored ship and shes drifting off to sea. I have no one to talk to. I have no one to talk to. I have no one to talk to. Im sorry. I dont mean to burden you with that, I just dont know what else to do because I have no one to talk to... Be friendly to the customer. Think of the customer as a friend... [sighs.]"
