[00:00.00]alanis morissette [00:05.53]i was hoping [00:09.25]as we were talking outside, [00:11.70]it was cold, [00:13.40]we were shivering, yet warmed by the subject matter. [00:17.81]my wife is in the next room, [00:20.03]we've been having troubles you know, [00:22.58]please don't tell her or anyone, [00:24.55]but i need to talk to somebody. [00:27.37]you said, 'wouldn't it be a shame if i knew how great i was [00:31.47]five minutes before i died? [00:33.54]i'd be filled with such regret [00:35.94]before i took my last breath.' [00:37.52]and i said, 'you're willing to tell me this now, [00:40.49]and you're not going to die [00:42.73]anytime soon.' [00:44.50]and i said i haven't been eating chicken,or meat,or anything. [00:47.87]and you said yes, [00:48.88]but you've been wearing leather [00:53.65]and laughed and said [00:54.77]we're at the top of the food chain. [00:56.88]and yes you're still a fine woman, [00:59.25]and i cringed. [01:03.75]i was hoping, [01:06.80]i was hoping we could heal each other. [01:12.82]i was hoping, [01:15.90]i was hoping we could be raw together. [01:22.41] [01:24.48] [01:26.09]we left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's), said [01:29.89]'good bye, sir. [01:31.12]thank you for your business sir. [01:32.83]you're successful and established, sir, [01:35.26]and we like the frequency with which you dine here sir. [01:38.63]and your money.' [01:43.73]and when i walked by, they said 'thank you too dear.' [01:47.34]i was all pigtails and cords. [01:49.98]and there was a day when i would've said something like, [01:52.99]'hey dude, i could buy and sell this place, so kiss it.' [01:57.71]i too once thought [01:58.98]i was owed something. [02:02.29]i was hoping, [02:05.30]i was hoping we could challenge each other. [02:11.34]i was hoping, [02:14.37]i was hoping we could crack each other up. [02:21.10]i too thought that when proved wrong, i lost somehow. [02:25.81]i too thought life was cruel. [02:30.14]it's a cycle, really. [02:31.43]you think i'm withdrawing and guilt tripping you. [02:34.65]i think you're insensitive and i don't feel heard. [02:36.90]and i said 'do you believe we are [02:38.57]fundamentally judgmental? [02:42.95]fundamentally evil?' [02:46.48]and you said yes. [02:48.55]and i said do you believe in revenge, [02:51.14]in right or wrong, [02:52.82]good or bad? [02:53.34]and you said 'well, what about the man that [02:54.93]i saw handcuffed in the emergency room, [02:58.02]bleeding after beating his kid, [02:59.74]and she threw a shoe at his head. [03:02.25]i think what he did was wrong, [03:05.11]and i wouldn't have had a hard time feeling compassion for him.' [03:09.00]i had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged. [03:14.94]i was hoping, [03:17.95]i was hoping we could dance together. [03:24.00]i was hoping, [03:27.00]i was hoping we could be creamy together.
