Deirdre Lefever:  Why would n't your eight - year - old self time travel here to give you a hand ? You 're obviously in trouble . He could straighten you out !
Russ Duritz: You think he 's here to straighten * me * out ?
Deirdre Lefever: Well of course ! You did n't think it was the other way around , didja ?
Deirdre Lefever: Maybe
Deirdre Lefever: he 's here for you to teach him some things ... but maybe he 's here for you to remember some things , ever thought about that ?
Russ Duritz: Not until just now , no .
Deirdre Lefever: Look , you 're turning _ forty _ tomorrow , you haven't acquired a single thing of real value in your life ...
Russ Duritz: Hey ...
Deirdre Lefever: - and no , no , money does n't count . You 're virtually friendless , you barely talk to your family , and you 've just lost the only woman in the world who 's ever meant anything to you .
Russ Duritz: Who , Amy ? Oh , come on , she 's not ... we work together , that 's all . She 's neurotic ! She bites her nails ... well , nail . This one . Oh , my God ...
Deirdre Lefever: While he 's getting a clue , could I get a warm - up , please ?
