Carla: A couple of drafts and a white wine.
Woody: Is something wrong, Carla?
Carla: Yeah something’s wrong. My life’s the pits. Seems like good things happen to everyone but me.
Norm has a new job. Frasier actually seems happy since he found his creepy girlfriend and Sam’s given up
women and decided to marry Diane. And what have I got? Zip. Woody, how do you keep such a sunny disposition
in this rotten, stink infested world?
Woody: What do I do when I see Mr. Blues peeking around the corner?
Carla: (TO HERSELF) I don’t believe this. He even has a cute name for depression.
Woody: I just close my eyes and think a happy thought. Here, I’ll show you.
(HE CLOSES HIS EYES AND THINKS FOR A MOMENT. A SMILE CROSSES HIS FACE AND HE OPENS HIS EYES.)
Carla: What was your thought?
Woody: I’m glad I’m not you.
