Ellen s02e04 the note Subtitles

00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:14,I think I'm getting it.

00:00:14,580 --> 00:00:15,I'm getting it.

00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,Oh, I lost it.

00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:20,Oh, it's coming?

00:00:21,060 --> 00:00:22,I g***t it?

00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:23,I g***t it?

00:00:25,620 --> 00:00:26,It's an elephant!

00:00:28,749 --> 00:00:30,with mighty tusks.

00:00:31,690 --> 00:00:33,Those books again. I hate those things.

00:00:33,950 --> 00:00:35,You're just mad because you can't do it.

00:00:35,810 --> 00:00:38,I just don't see the point. I mean, if I
want to look at a picture of a bunny,

00:00:38,770 --> 00:00:41,I'll look at a picture of a bunny. I
don't need to go cross -eyed and get a

00:00:41,450 --> 00:00:42,headache doing it.

00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:44,I love the bunny.

00:00:44,830 --> 00:00:45,He's nibbling a carrot.

00:00:47,230 --> 00:00:48,So Adam and I are going to the movies.
You want to go?

00:00:49,150 --> 00:00:50,No. I'm pretty tired. I'm going to stay
in.

00:00:51,150 --> 00:00:52,Okay. See ya.

00:00:55,710 --> 00:00:56,All right.

00:00:56,410 --> 00:00:57,Tonight's the night.

00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:01,Come on, Mr. Bunny.

00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,It's wabbit season.

00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,I just found it really e***c.

00:01:13,460 --> 00:01:15,Really, really e***c.

00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:16,Very e***c.

00:01:17,860 --> 00:01:19,George Orwell's animal farm?

00:01:21,380 --> 00:01:22,E***c.

00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,Bob, can I ask you kind of a personal
question?

00:01:26,740 --> 00:01:29,Shoot. Where do you do most of your
reading for this group?

00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,At home, late at night, alone in bed.

00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,I see.

00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,Well, that's all the time. Thanks again
for another great group. Thanks.

00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,Oh, thanks, Ellen. Thank you very much.
My pleasure.

00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,Bye -bye. Good night. Bye -bye.

00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,Oh, great group, Ellen. Thank you, Mr.
Phillips.

00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:54,Good night. Bye.

00:01:55,340 --> 00:01:57,Night. That was fun.

00:01:57,410 --> 00:01:59,Oh, great. Hey, remember next week is
The Great Gatsby.

00:01:59,910 --> 00:02:00,Oh, yes!

00:02:04,890 --> 00:02:06,Oh, boy, you see?

00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:09,That's what's great about owning a
bookstore. I get to have my own reading

00:02:09,650 --> 00:02:11,and bring book lovers together.

00:02:12,450 --> 00:02:13,It's so rewarding.

00:02:13,610 --> 00:02:15,I feel like we've really bonded as a
group.

00:02:16,690 --> 00:02:17,Hmm, yeah.

00:02:18,430 --> 00:02:19,What's that?

00:02:19,150 --> 00:02:20,What? That.

00:02:20,770 --> 00:02:21,This? Yeah.

00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:23,Nothing.

00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:25,Why are you hiding it?

00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,I'm not hiding, Ellen.

00:02:26,740 --> 00:02:30,If I were hiding this, I would do a much
better job than this.

00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:31,Trust me, I can hide.

00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,Then let me see it. No. Why not? It's
personal.

00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,You found it on the ground.

00:02:38,980 --> 00:02:39,Finders keepers.

00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,I find Ellen insufferable, don't you?

00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:51,Losers weepers.

00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:58,Ellen, it's just a meaningless note.

00:02:58,370 --> 00:03:01,I mean, actually, it's not even a note.
It's a piece of a note. See, it's torn.

00:03:02,210 --> 00:03:04,You don't know where he was going with
this.

00:03:06,610 --> 00:03:10,Yes, Paige, I'm sure this is just the
opening sentence of a long, glowing

00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:11,on my finer qualities.

00:03:12,670 --> 00:03:15,You know, beauty, brains,
insufferability.

00:03:16,270 --> 00:03:19,I bet it doesn't even say insufferable.
You probably just can't read the

00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:20,handwriting.

00:03:21,710 --> 00:03:24,Wow, that is some fine penmanship.

00:03:26,860 --> 00:03:28,I just don't get it. Why doesn't this
person like me?

00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,Who cares?

00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:33,This is just like camp. You were always
insisting that everyone like you, even

00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,Sylvia Byrne.

00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,Oh, she was a tough nut to crack.

00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:40,Ellen, everyone hated Sylvia, even the
counselors.

00:03:41,220 --> 00:03:42,No, only the ones she tried to poison.

00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:49,Ellen, I think you're placing entirely
too much emphasis on being liked. You

00:03:49,220 --> 00:03:52,know, if I had a dollar for every time I
found a note that said someone didn't

00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:56,like me, or if I overheard it in gym
class, or if the band spelled it out in

00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:57,half,

00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:01,Look, yeah, I admit that sometimes I
worry too much about people liking me,

00:04:01,420 --> 00:04:03,this is different. This is my reading
group.

00:04:03,260 --> 00:04:06,I mean, these people have been a big
part of my life for almost three weeks

00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:11,Hello?

00:04:12,140 --> 00:04:13,Oh, I'm sorry, you must have the wrong
number.

00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:18,Oh, that's okay. I'm always happy to
make time for a stranger.

00:04:20,740 --> 00:04:21,Mellifluous, huh?

00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,Well... I can't take all the credit. My
parents are both quite mellifluous, and

00:04:26,380 --> 00:04:30,if I say so myself... Could you hold on
for just one second?

00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:31,I'm going to take this in the other
room.

00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,Adam, it's a wrong number.

00:04:34,980 --> 00:04:38,Hey, it's a woman, and she's not hanging
up. Let's not quibble.

00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,So I've g***t to find out who wrote this
note.

00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,Why don't you just ask pointed questions
until you figure it out?

00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,Like? Like?

00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,Show of hands, who doesn't like me?

00:04:52,590 --> 00:04:55,Or you could assign an essay and get
samples of everyone's handwriting.

00:04:56,450 --> 00:05:00,I can't give these people homework. This
is not a class. This is a fun reading

00:05:00,170 --> 00:05:01,group.

00:05:01,910 --> 00:05:03,Fun reading group.

00:05:04,370 --> 00:05:06,I don't get reading.

00:05:10,490 --> 00:05:12,You don't get how to do it?

00:05:13,050 --> 00:05:14,No, no.

00:05:14,150 --> 00:05:17,I'm just... I'm not a book person. I **
a movie person.

00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:20,Paige, practically every movie you see
is based on a book.

00:05:21,220 --> 00:05:24,Exactly. It's as if it's evolved into
its highest form.

00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,Well, on that note, how about joining
the group?

00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:33,No. Oh, come on. Just for a while. Just
until you find out who it is that

00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,doesn't like me. I need someone on the
inside. I need a mole.

00:05:37,020 --> 00:05:40,You want me to spy on your class? No,
not spy. I just want you to come to the

00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:44,group and get to know everybody, earn
their trust, get them to confide in you,

00:05:44,380 --> 00:05:45,and then betray them to me.

00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:48,All right, I'll spy.

00:05:48,890 --> 00:05:50,But I ** not going to read. I don't
care.

00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:54,I, ladies and ladies, have a date.

00:05:56,070 --> 00:05:59,You g***t a date out of that? Believe me,
I don't know how it happened. I'm just

00:05:59,270 --> 00:06:01,very good on the phone.

00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:04,I'm funnier, smarter, taller.

00:06:05,890 --> 00:06:08,Adam, do you even know who this person
is?

00:06:08,310 --> 00:06:11,Yeah, she said her name's Marion, and
she sounded very sweet.

00:06:11,690 --> 00:06:14,Yes, but you know nothing about her. You
don't even know what she looks like.

00:06:14,430 --> 00:06:15,She described herself as attractive.

00:06:16,850 --> 00:06:19,Really? And how did you describe
yourself?

00:06:19,790 --> 00:06:20,Attractive.

00:06:22,330 --> 00:06:23,Oh, God.

00:06:28,490 --> 00:06:32,Well, I guess we can get started now
that everybody's... Where's Ted?

00:06:34,430 --> 00:06:38,That's strange, isn't it? I mean, he's
come to every one before, and suddenly

00:06:38,750 --> 00:06:39,he's not here.

00:06:40,570 --> 00:06:43,I think if he was having such an awful
time that he would...

00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,at least be able to admit it to me
instead of acting like it's some type of

00:06:47,420 --> 00:06:48,medieval torture.

00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,Oh, here he is. Oh, hey, Ted's here. Hi.

00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,Sorry I'm late. Oh, come on. What, you
know, late, early, you come whenever you

00:06:55,460 --> 00:06:56,want.

00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:03,Well, before we get started, today I'd
like to introduce to you a new member.

00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:07,And Miss, oh, I'm sorry, I forgot your
name terribly.

00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:10,I just met her just briefly, just five
minutes ago.

00:07:10,830 --> 00:07:13,And I don't...
