Chapter 24 - The Wandmaker“I want to do it properly,” were the first words of which Harry was fully conscious of speaking. “Not by magic. Have you got a spade?” And shortly afterward he had set to work, alone, digging the grave in the place that Bill had shown him at the end of the garden, between bushes. He dug with a kind of fury, relishing the manual work, glorying in the non-magic of it, for every drop of his sweat and every blister felt like a gift to the elf who had saved their lives. Q1 - Why did Harry want to do this without magic?“No,” Harry said, and Bill looked startled. “I need both of them here. I need to talk to them. It's important.” He heard the authority in his own voice, the conviction, the sense of purpose that had come to him as he dug Dobby's grave. All of their faces were turned toward him, looking puzzled. Dobby would never be able to tell them who had sent him to the cellar, but Harry knew what he had seen. A piercing blue eye had looked out of the mirror fragment, and then help had come. Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.Q2 - What's the deal with the mirror?You gave Ron the Deluminator. You understood him. . . . You gave him a way back. . . . And you understood Wormtail too. . . . You knew there was a bit of regret there, somewhere. . . . And if you knew them . . . What did you know about me, Dumbledore? Am I meant to know, but not to seek? Did you know how hard I'd find that? Is that why you made it this difficult? So I'd have time to work that out?Q3 - Do you think he's right about Dumbledore here?Q4 - They're going to break into Gringotts? Are they going to succeed?“I took this wand from Draco Malfoy by force,” said Harry. “Can I use it safely?” “I think so. Subtle laws govern wand ownership, but the conquered wand will usually bend its will to its new master.” Q5 - Is Harry truly the master of Draco's wand?Yes, if you won it, it is more likely to do your bidding, and do it well, than another wand.” “And this holds true for all wands, does it?” asked Harry. “I think so,” replied Ollivander, his protuberant eyes upon Harry's face. “You ask deep questions, Mr. Potter. Wandlore is a complex and mysterious branch of magic.” “So, it isn't necessary to kill the previous owner to take true possession of a wand?” asked Harry. Ollivander swallowed. “Necessary? No, I should not say that it is necessary to kill.” Q6 - Do you think this is true? That wands can pass without killing?“You told him about the twin cores? You said he just had to borrow another wizard's wand?” Ollivander looked horrified, transfixed, by the amount that Harry knew. He nodded slowly. “But it didn't work,” Harry went on. “Mine still beat the borrowed wand. Do you know why that is?” Ollivander shook his head as slowly as he had just nodded. “I had . . . never heard of such a thing. Your wand performed something unique that night. The connection of the twin cores is incredibly rare, yet why your wand should have snapped the borrowed wand, I do not know. . . .” Q7 - Why do you think Harry's wand acted like this?“Gregorovitch had the Elder Wand a long time ago,” he said. “I saw You-Know-Who trying to find him. When he tracked him down, he found that Gregorovitch didn't have it anymore: It was stolen from him by Grindelwald. How Grindelwald found out that Gregorovitch had it, I don't know — but if Gregorovitch was stupid enough to spread the rumor, it can't have been that difficult.” Voldemort was at the gates of Hogwarts; Harry could see him standing there, and see too the lamp bobbing in the pre-dawn, coming closer and closer. “And Grindelwald used the Elder Wand to become powerful. And at the height of his power, when Dumbledore knew he was the only one who could stop him, he dueled Grindelwald and beat him, and he took the Elder Wand.” “Dumbledore had the Elder Wand?” said Ron. “But then — where is it now?” Q8 - What do you think about this?And here it was, beside the lake, reflected in the dark waters. The white marble tomb, an unnecessary blot on the familiar landscape. He felt again that rush of controlled euphoria, that heady sense of purpose in destruction. He raised the old yew wand: How fitting that this would be its last great act. The tomb split open from head to foot. The shrouded figure was as long and thin as it had been in life. He raised the wand again. The wrappings fell open. The face was translucent, pale, sunken, yet almost perfectly preserved. They had left his spectacles on the crooked nose: He felt amused derision. Dumbledore's hands were folded upon his chest, and there it lay, clutched beneath them, buried with him. Had the old fool imagined that marble or death would protect the wand? Had he thought that the Dark Lord would be scared to violate his tomb? The spiderlike hand swooped and pulled the wand from Dumbledore's grasp, and as he took it, a shower of sparks flew from its tip, sparkling over the corpse of its last owner, ready to serve a new master at last. Chapter 25 - Shell Cottage“Harry admits he could have imagined the eye! Don't you, Harry?” “I could have,” said Harry without looking at her. “But you don't think you did, do you?” asked Ron. “No, I don't,” said Harry. “There you go!” said Ron quickly, before Hermione could carry on. “If it wasn't Dumbledore, explain how Dobby knew we were in the cellar, Hermione?” “I can't — but can you explain how Dumbledore sent him to us if he's lying in a tomb at Hogwarts?”Q1 - Is Dumbledore alive?Q2 - Does the sword really belong to Goblins?Q3 - Do you think he plan will go well with Griphook?“So, au revoir, Mr. Ollivander,” said Fleur, kissing him on both cheeks. “And I wonder whezzer you could oblige me by delivering a package to Bill's Auntie Muriel? I never returned 'er tiara.” “It will be an honor,” said Ollivander with a little bow, “the very least I can do in return for your generous hospitality.” Fleur drew out a worn velvet case, which she opened to show the wandmaker. The tiara sat glittering and twinkling in the light from the low-hanging lamp. “Moonstones and diamonds,” said Griphook, who had sidled into the room without Harry noticing. “Made by goblins, I think?” Q4 - Could Danny's tiara theory be right all along?Lupin fell over the threshold. He was white-faced, wrapped in a traveling cloak, his graying hair windswept. He straightened up, looked around the room, making sure of who was there, then cried aloud, “It's a boy! We've named him Ted, after Dora's father!” Hermione shrieked. “Wha — ? Tonks — Tonks has had the baby?” “Yes, yes, she's had the baby!” shouted Lupin. All around the table came cries of delight, sighs of relief: Hermione and Fleur both squealed, “Congratulations!” and Ron said, “Blimey, a baby!” as if he had never heard of such a thing before. “Yes — yes — a boy,” said Lupin again, who seemed dazed by his own happiness. He strode around the table and hugged Harry; the scene in the basement of Grimmauld Place might never have happened. “You'll be godfather?” he said as he released Harry. “M-me?” stammered Harry “You, yes, of course — Dora quite agrees, no one better —” “I — yeah — blimey —” Q5 - What do you think about Lupin and Tonks having a baby?Harry had an ominous feeling now; he wondered whether Bill guessed more than he was letting on. “All I am saying,” said Bill, setting his hand on the door back into the sitting room, “is to be very careful what you promise goblins, Harry. It would be less dangerous to break into Gringotts than to renege on a promise to a goblin.” Q6 - Are they dumb to trust Griphook?Chapter 26 - Gringotts“I hate this thing,” she said in a low voice. “I really hate it. It feels all wrong, it doesn't work properly for me. . . . It's like a bit of her.” “It'll probably help you get in character, though,” said Ron. “Think what that wand's done!” “But that's my point!” said Hermione. “This is the wand that tortured Neville's mum and dad, and who knows how many other people? This is the wand that killed Sirius!” Q1 - Should they snap this wand in two?Harry looked down at the hawthorn wand that had once belonged to Draco Malfoy. He had been surprised, but pleased, to discover that it worked for him at least as well as Hermione's had done. Remembering what Ollivander had told them of the secret workings of wands, Harry thought he knew what Hermione's problem was: She had not won the walnut wand's allegiance by taking it personally from Bellatrix. Q2 - Is this true?He realized now that they could hardly have laid Dobby to rest in a more beautiful place, but Harry ached with sadness to think of leaving him behind. Looking down on the grave, he wondered yet again how the elf had known where to come to rescue them. His fingers moved absentmindedly to the little pouch still strung around his neck, through which he could feel the jagged mirror fragment in which he had been sure he had seen Dumbledore's eye. Then the sound of a door opening made him look around. Q3 - Any further theories on who sent Dobby?“They know!” whispered Griphook in Harry's ear. “They must have been warned there might be an impostor!” “Your wand will do, madam,” said the goblin. He held out a slightly trembling hand, and in a dreadful blast of realization Harry knew that the goblins of Gringotts were aware that Bellatrix's wand had been stolen. “Act now, act now,” whispered Griphook in Harry's ear, “the Imperius Curse!” Harry raised the hawthorn wand beneath the cloak, pointed it at the old goblin, and whispered, for the first time in his life, “Imperio!” Q4 - What do you think about Harry using the Imperius curse?Q5 - Is Travers going to permanently be in a crack in the wall in Gringotts?Q6 - What do you think of all the enchantments at Gringotts?“Harry, could this be — ? Aargh!” Hermione screamed in pain, and Harry turned his wand on her in time to see a jeweled goblet tumbling from her grip. But as it fell, it split, became a shower of goblets, so that a second later, with a great clatter, the floor was covered in identical cups rolling in every direction, the original impossible to discern amongst them. “It burned me!” moaned Hermione, sucking her blistered fingers. “They have added Gemino and Flagrante Curses!” said Griphook. “Everything you touch will burn and multiply, but the copies are worthless — and if you continue to handle the treasure, you will eventually be crushed to death by the weight of expanding gold!” Q7 - What do you think about this?The tiny golden cup, skewered by the handle on the sword's blade, was flung into the air. The goblin still astride him, Harry dived and caught it, and although he could feel it scalding his flesh he did not relinquish it, even while countless Hufflepuff cups burst from his fist.Q8 - Do they have the cup?Q9 - How do you like their dragon heist?Chapter 27 - The Final Hiding Place“Well, on the upside,” said Ron finally, who was sitting watching the skin on his hands regrow, “we got the Horcrux. On the downside —” “— no sword,” said Harry through gritted teeth, as he dripped dittany through the singed hole in his jeans onto the angry burn beneath. Q1 - How will they destroy this Horcrux?The sky, the smell of lake water, the sound of Ron's voice were extinguished: Pain cleaved Harry's head like a sword stroke. He was standing in a dimly lit room, and a semicircle of wizards faced him, and on the floor at his feet knelt a small, quaking figure. “What did you say to me?” His voice was high and cold, but fury and fear burned inside him. The one thing he had dreaded — but it could not be true, he could not see how . . . The goblin was trembling, unable to meet the red eyes high above his. “Say it again!” murmured Voldemort. “Say it again!” “M-my Lord,” stammered the goblin, its black eyes wide with terror, “m-my Lord . . . we t-tried t-to st-stop them. . . . Im-impostors, my Lord . . . broke — broke into the — into the Lestranges' v-vault. . . .” “Impostors? What impostors? I thought Gringotts had ways of revealing impostors? Who were they?” “It was . . . it was . . . the P-Potter b-boy and t-two accomplices. . . .” “And they took?” he said, his voice rising, a terrible fear gripping him. “Tell me! What did they take?” “A . . . a s-small golden c-cup, m-my Lord . . .” The scream of rage, of denial left him as if it were a stranger's: He was crazed, frenzied, it could not be true, it was impossible, nobody had ever known: How was it possible that the boy could have discovered his secret? Q2 - What do you think of this?But surely if the boy had destroyed any of his Horcruxes, he, Lord Voldemort, would have known, would have felt it?Q3 - So has Voldemort not felt these horcruxes being destroyed?But he must know, he must be sure. . . . He paced the room, kicking aside the goblin's corpse as he passed, and the pictures blurred and burned in his boiling brain: the lake, the shack, and Hogwarts —Q4 - Where at Hogwarts?As for the school: He alone knew where in Hogwarts he had stowed the Horcrux, because he alone had plumbed the deepest secrets of that place. . . . And there was still Nagini, who must remain close now, no longer sent to do his bidding, under his protection. . . . Q5 - If Voldemort is checking the hiding places, how much time do the trio have?“But how are we going to get in?” “We'll go to Hogsmeade,” said Harry, “and try to work something out once we see what the protection around the school's like. Get under the Cloak, Hermione, I want to stick together this time.” “But we don't really fit —” “It'll be dark, no one's going to notice our feet.” The flapping of enormous wings echoed across the black water: The dragon had drunk its fill and risen into the air. They paused in their preparations to watch it climb higher and higher, now black against the rapidly darkening sky, until it vanished over a nearby mountain. Then Hermione walked forward and took her place between the other two. Harry pulled the Cloak down as far as it would go, and together they turned on the spot into the crushing darkness.Chapter 28 - The Missing MirrorHe raised his wand: He could not, would not, suffer the Dementor's Kiss, whatever happened afterward. It was of Ron and Hermione that he thought as he whispered, “Expecto Patronum!” Q1 - Should they have planned this a little better?Ron gasped. “The silver doe!” he said excitedly. “Was that you too?” “What are you talking about?” said Aberforth. “Someone sent a doe Patronus to us!” “Brains like that, you could be a Death Eater, son. Haven't I just proved my Patronus is a goat?” “Oh,” said Ron. “Yeah . . . well, I'm hungry!” he added defensively as his stomach gave an enormous rumble“My brother Albus wanted a lot of things,” said Aberforth, “and people had a habit of getting hurt while he was carrying out his grand plans. You get away from this school, Potter, and out of the country if you can. Forget my brother and his clever schemes. He's gone where none of this can hurt him, and you don't owe him anything.”Q2 - Is Aberforth a reliable story teller? “It destroyed her, what they did: She was never right again. She wouldn't use magic, but she couldn't get rid of it; it turned inward and drove her mad, it exploded out of her when she couldn't control it, and at times she was strange and dangerous. But mostly she was sweet and scared and harmless. Q3 - What do you think this looks like?But he did all right for a few weeks . . . till he came.” And now a positively dangerous look crept over Aberforth's face. “Grindelwald. And at last, my brother had an equal to talk to, someone just as bright and talented as he was. And looking after Ariana took a backseat then, while they were hatching all their plans for a new Wizarding order, and looking for Hallows, and whatever else it was they were so interested in. Grand plans for the benefit of all Wizardkind, and if one young girl got neglected, what did that matter, when Albus was working for the greater good? He got angry. He told me what a stupid little boy I was, trying to stand in the way of him and my brilliant brother. . . . Didn't I understand, my poor sister wouldn't have to be hidden once they'd changed the world, and led the wizards out of hiding, and taught the Muggles their place? Q4 - What do you think of Grindewald now?“He was never free,” said Harry. “I beg your pardon?” said Aberforth. “Never,” said Harry. “The night that your brother died, he drank a potion that drove him out of his mind. He started screaming, pleading with someone who wasn't there. ‘Don't hurt them, please . . . hurt me instead.'” Q5 - Do you think Dumbledore really never forgave himself?“Because,” said Harry before Hermione could answer, “sometimes you've got to think about more than your own safety! Sometimes you've got to think about the greater good! This is war!” “You're seventeen, boy!” “I'm of age, and I'm going to keep fighting even if you've given up!” “Who says I've given up?” “‘The Order of the Phoenix is finished,'” Harry repeated. “‘YouKnow-Who's won, it's over, and anyone who's pretending different's kidding themselves.'” “I don't say I like it, but it's the truth!” “No, it isn't,” said Harry. “Your brother knew how to finish YouKnow-Who and he passed the knowledge on to me. I'm going to keep going until I succeed — or I die. Don't think I don't know how this might end. I've known it for years.” Q6 - What do you think of this whole story?Q7 - How will this end?

Get under the Cloak, Hermione, I want to stick together this time.” “But we don't really fit —” “It'll be dark, no one's going to notice our feet.” The flapping of enormous wings echoed across the black water: The dragon had drunk its fill and risen into the air. They paused in their preparations to watch it climb higher and higher, now black against the rapidly darkening sky, until it vanished over a nearby mountain. Then Hermione walked forward and took her place between the other two. Harry pulled the Cloak down as far as it would go, and together they turned on the spot into the crushing darkness.

Thus dooming ourselves to talk about the subsequent two parts.... and this is episode covers the much maligned second part of the trilogy... Transformers Energon! We discuss the show, the 'plot' the bad dubbing, the Japanese Superlink show, the terrible pacing, the lazy theme tune, the surprisingly overlooked toys and much much more!Credits:Hosts: Virtual Dave and Orion GhiaClip of Episode 25 features: Simon FurmanEditing and Production: Orion GhiaIntro music and stings: Oliver PrimeOutro Music: The VidiprinterClips taken from: Transformers Energon and Transformers SuperlinkLinksTransformers Energon episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33ww_XWhJ-Q&list=PLDDB6F272B52928F6Transformers Superlink episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvCBKFpf6jM&list=PLPNHgwrrD-gjUCy6_rtUK0dPAkGlP5bfyThe 'missing' episode "Return!

Puppies are so stinkin' cute, aren't they? Their innocent little faces routinely give us “the warm fuzzies,” and that's just feels amazingly good! While puppies are undeniably cute to look at, raising one can be a downright challenge, as many of you know—or are currently finding out! Just when you think you have unwanted behaviors under control, a new behavior emerges which throws you for a loop. AARGH!! Yes, raising a canine youngin' can often be a frustrating experience. But if you arm yourself with a few basic principles, the experience can be a little less frustrating—and a LOT more productive! Let's talk about it right now on The Canine Lowe-Down.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Podcast #510 SILENCING THE SELF-CRITICAL VOICE In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, we're talking about: The mean voice that lurks inside of you and spirals you into defeat, discouragement and discontentSelf-criticism as intentional self-sabotage Believing in the neuroplasticity of your brain - and your ability to change how you think REVIEW OF THE WEEK: My dentist recommended me to this podcast. the kindness he shared so I could find and listen to a podcast that was able to start directing me. With always asking how and where even to start, this was an answer. Thank you both for providing hope. -G xD jsjduasio ANNOUNCING, MY NEW MASTERMIND "INCREASE" Put your application in now; we are allowing 20 participants, and applications are first-come, first-accepted (if you qualify). www.trishblackwell.com.com/increase The Increase Mastermind is a 4-month intensive coaching experience for Christian women who want to increase their business, their reach, their profit and their time freedom.

The self-criticism of a tired mind is suicide. -Charles Horton Cooley You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens. -Louise Hay Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving. -Dale Carnegie If babies held the same tendency toward self-criticism as adults, they might never walk or talk. Can you imagine infants stomping, "Aargh! Screwed up again!" Fortunately, babies are free of self-criticism. They just keep practicing. - Dan Millman We all have the tendency to believe in self-doubt and self-criticism, but listening to this voice never gets us closer to our goals. Instead, try on the point of view of a mentor or good friend who believes in you, wants the best for you, and will encourage you when you feel discouraged. -Kelly McGonigal DEFEAT, DISCOURAGEMENT, AND DISCONTENT The inner mean voice. We all have one. What does yours say? Acknowledge that you're the critic.Decide that criticism isn't necessary.Dare to try a new way - to try on kindness.Know what thought tracks you typically revert to (so you know the bully when you hear it)Understand what happens when you believe the voiceTalk back to the bullyGive birth to a baby believe that your brain is transforming SELF-CRITICISM AS SELF-SABOTAGE It keeps you stuck. It makes you tip-toe. It creates stagnancy. It makes your world smaller. The voice, especially if you've practiced it a lot in your past, will still be audible, but it can be placed on mute, or have the volume turned down significantly. Understand why self-criticism served you (or you thought it did) Did it bring you to action Did it make you feel shame Did it motivate you to be better Did it repeat a pattern you were taught? BELIEVING IN THE NEUROPLASTICITY OF YOUR BRAIN, AND YOUR ABILITY TO CHANGE Focused Attention -grow new neurons by connecting them with stronger neurons that already exist; engage your brain in planning, complex concepts, self-reflection, and emotional self-regulation awareness Deliberate Repetition and Practice -structured mindset growth habits, journaling; new connections are fragile, massive repetition matters Maximize your physical health -there's a brain and body connection - hydration, nutrients, movement, sleep, and stress matter.

Why can't you get heard? Why, no matter how loudly, angrily or with tears abounding you speak your distress, your partner stands there like a stone? Aargh! In this podcast, you'll find out how to express your unhappiness in a way that your partner can hear you and respond. Hopefully appropriately! Oh, the sweet relief. . .
Have you ever found yourself at the bottom of a tub of ice cream, or packet of chips, and wondered how you got there; or found yourself eating whatever is in front of you, because you know you need to eat something, but don't have the time or energy to make yourself a “proper” meal. Do you find yourself, at 2:30 in the afternoon, realising that you haven't eaten yet, and grabbing a candy bar , or protein bar, to tie you over until you can eat a meal, which ends up being drive-thru fast-food on the way home because you're too hungry and tired to wait til you get there. I know I have! Guilty on all counts! In this episode I'll be sharing with you 4 keys to help you move from mindless eating, in all it's forms binge eating, emotional eating, comfort eating, or fuelling, to eating for blessing and benefit.

Why it's a cheap fleabag motel, can't you tell?" ******************************************** AN HOUR TO KILL Cast: [Opening credits - Olivia] Claude, a thug Lenny, a dumber thug Charlie, Claude's greedy wife Host Bank Teller Little Girl Waitress OLIVIA Did you have any trouble finding it? What do you mean, what kind of a place is it? Why, it's a fleabag motel in the early 50s, can't you tell? MUSIC SOUND DRIPPING OF BAD SINK, DISTANT RADIO TALKING LENNY [hushed, excited] I tell you, Claude, it's a done deal! It was Artie told me, and-- CLAUDE [resigned] And Artie's never wrong. Yeah, I know. [up] Whatchoo think, Charlie? CHARLIE Zip it. I'm listening. CLAUDE To what? CHARLIE Whoever's next door has a radio, [barbed] unlike some, and they got the stories on. If youse two mugs can keep yer traps shut, I can just barely make out what happens to be transpiring. LENNY [quiet] It's just over the hill, Claude. Hop skip and a jump. CLAUDE [quiet] Good thing, too, Lenny. That car we nabbed ain't good for much but skipping. LENNY [quiet] And jumping. CLAUDE [chuckles halfhaertedly] So Artie said this town was ripe for the picking? LENNY Yeah, he said it was real weird, but-- CHARLIE [upset] No! What is wrong with this world? CLAUDE [flat, uninterested] I don't know, what's wrong with it? CHARLIE Them on the other side, they turned it off!! And just when Cynthia was about to reveal the name of the guy who ran off and left her with two kids, then changed hs name and married someone else. LENNY What a bum! CLAUDE [undertone] Don't encourage her. [up] Can we talk normal now? CHARLIE Makes no nevermind now. CLAUDE Apparently Artie told Lenny something in stir last week. LENNY And Artie's never wrong! CHARLIE [hard sarcasm] If he ain't never wrong, why's he in the joint? CLAUDE [snorts] LENNY That ain't the point. He found the perfect score. CHARLIE And he told you about it? CLAUDE Yeah, that does seem a little cuckoo. Artie never did like you much. LENNY But he still likes Cherlie there just fine. I think he told me cuz he knows I'd tell you, and that would help her get some of the nice things she deserves. CHARLIE [cutesy] Really? That big a score, then? Artie might have something going for him after all. Maybe I shoulda married him. CLAUDE You said you didn't like monkeys. CHARLIE I was joking. Just cuz he's kinda short and shriveled and stuff don't mean he might not make a good husband. Ugly guys don't run off so often. LENNY Nobody wants 'em. CHARLIE You would know. CLAUDE [long suffering sigh] Let's get back to the job? LENNY It's this town, see? He says the whole town is like loopy, cuz one day a year, for an hour in the middle of the day, the entire town [slow, with import] just falls asleep. CLAUDE [snort] You're loopy. Artie's throwing you a knuckle ball, knucklehead. LENNY No, he was serious - I could see it in his face. CLAUDE The whole town? LENNY Yeah! CLAUDE And how does Artie know this? LENNY He says he was there. Couple years back, said he was hiding out and saw it happen, so he went back again the next year to see, and it happened again. CLAUDE Why ain't he in there robbing the place? LENNY Says he meant to, this year, but he's gonna be sporting stripes for a nickle. [5 years] CLAUDE It makes no damn sense! Why would everybody fall asleep? CHARLIE Maybe it's something in the water. Or get this-- [ramping up] Maybe it's a curse or something, like in that episode of One Step Too Far!! CLAUDE You've gone one step too far if you're gonna believe Artie and this idiot. [to Lenny] Nuttin' personal, Lenny. LENNY Gotcha. CHARLIE What can it hurt? If it's so darn close, why don't we drive over there and see? We can be ready, and if this "see-ester" [siesta] thing happens, then we take advantage. If not... what's it gonna hurt? CLAUDE What day's it supposed to be, Len? LENNY Tomorrow. Or I should say the longest day of the year, since that's what it is - tomorrow is, I mean, but Charlie, you can't come! CHARLIE And why pray tell not, ya big goon? LENNY Artie only told me on account of I promised I'd see to it that you don't go. I think he wants you to come and visit him instead. CLAUDE That's crazy talk. But you shouldn't come, babe. You'll just get in the way. CHARLIE [incensed] I'll just WHAT? CLAUDE I mean-- there might be guns. I wouldn't want you getting shot or nothing. CHARLIE They gotta be pretty talented in this town to shoot ...in their sleep! Besides, you need someone along who can actually tell time, if all you got is just one hour! [fades out] And if this is supposed to be tomorrow, since I have it on good authority - meaning the morning news - that tomorrow is the longest day of the year - then we had better get our sweet little selves ready to move! LENNY [over her diatribe] But I promised Artie-- CLAUDE [over, too - miserable, to Lenny] Just drop it. Trust me. Once she starts with this, she can't even hear no more. CHARLIE You hear me? LENNY [really quiet] Maybe you shoulda let Artie have her. MUSIC AMB IN CAR CLAUDE Whadda we do if it's all a big put-up job? LENNY It ain't - Artie is-- CHARLIE Stifle! If they don't sack out, you mean? In that case, we're just honest, but weary travellers going on our merry way. Zat so hard to buy? CLAUDE We gotta do something. This flivver's on its last legs. CHARLIE There's always something. LENNY You believe in magic, Charlie? CHARLIE Like Houdini stuff? Hah! Back when I was on the stage, the only thing them clip artists could make disappear was my hard earned simoleans. LENNY But this-- CHARLIE [loud] BUT! Dontchoo interupt me there, Lenny. It ain't polite! [quieter] Hmph. I was tryin to say I could maybe believe in magic like miracles and genies and stuff. Just always figured maybe it was all run out in the world, like the electricity in the meter when you're outta slugs. Ya know? CLAUDE [amused hmph] Oh, that's a nice turn of phrase you got right there, Charlie. CHARLIE [smug] And you thought you only married me for my legs. MUSIC AMB OUTSIDE, RURAL SOUND ONE SET OF STEPS ON GRAVEL CLAUDE [relieved and tired] Finally.

[up, weary] What's the noise, sweetcheeks? CHARLIE This fellow says ain't no rooms to be had, not today tonight or any time soon. CLAUDE Yer full up? Out here in the middle of squat all? HOST [old rustic] The young lady misunderstood me. I was trying to explain that this is just a bad day to be here in Lafayette. We got rooms, ayuh, but I wouldn't feel right about just putting you up without warning you folks first. CLAUDE Warning us? Where's Lenny? LENNY [off] I'm pretending I'm somewehre's else. CLAUDE Some help you are. You was saying, pops? HOST [cheerful horror] It's the day we run the hogs. CHARLIE That's disgusting! CLAUDE Hold on, dearest. Let's hear the man out. Hogs, you say? HOST Ayup. Local tradition. Them hogs gets loose all over the town. [self-satisfied] Raise a lotta havoc. Tranple anything that moves, pretty much. CLAUDE It'd be safe in the room, wouldnit? HOST Well, 'spect it oughtta be, but you have to shut the doors and not move an inch. Don't want to call no attention to yerselves. [ominous] Folks round here don' like strangers watching our ways. CLAUDE [sigh] Well, pops, I dunno if you noticed it, but we rode in in the grease monkey's tow. Our heap ain't taking another step, and neither are we. HOST [a little too smug] One room or two? CHARLIE Just get one. Lenny can sleep in the bureau drawer for all I care. HOST [chuckles] CLAUDE Since it's looking we'll need to get a new car soon, I guess one room's all we can spring for. MUSIC SOUND DOOR SHUTS, BAG THROWN DOWN CHARLIE Artie better damn well be right. CLAUDE [hushed] Charlie! Keep it quiet. LENNY [hushed] Even if it works, how we gonna get out of town? CLAUDE We get a new car-- LENNY How? CLAUDE How'd we get the last one, pea-brain? LENNY Oh, right. There must be one or two, even in a boondock like this. CHARLIE The landlord says we got a couple of hours before we gotta hole up [aping his speech] "just enough time to get around some flapjacks". Flapjacks, my eye. They better have a hootch parlor in this flyspeck. CLAUDE Just enough time to case the place. LENNY Oughtn't we to bring the heaters, Claude? CLAUDE Hmm. Nix on that. Don't wanna get caught on the street heeled. CHARLIE Whaddaya mean? So what if someone suspects something? CLAUDE You may hate these chuck towns, Charlie, but their jails ain't nothing to write home about neither. They make our first digs look like the ritz. CHARLIE [disgusted] Oh! MUSIC AMB OUTSIDE. RURAL [note - they're all talking out the side of the mouth] LENNY There's the spoon where the clerk said we could get us some-- CHARLIE Flapjacks? Puh-lease. We got more important things-- LENNY But he got me all hungry, with all his flapjack jabbering. CLAUDE [under his breath] Flapjabbering. [up] Look, we need to split up anyway, cover the ground. Lenny can pick up the skinny at the diner as well as anywhere else. CHARLIE Where you wanna ronder-voo [rondezvous] later? CLAUDE Well... [consdiering] Guess the motel's as good as any place. CHARLIE In forty-five minutes. No more, you big moose! LENNY No sweat - sides, they ain't gonna give me no forty-five minutes worth of flapjacks. Not for what I got on me. SOUND WALKS AWAY CLAUDE And you? CHARLIE I say you and I take the-- [softening] I mean, make a visit to the bank. CLAUDE Who'm I to argue? MUSIC SOUND DOOR OPENS, DING, A COUPLE STEPS LENNY Hello? SOUND FLAP OF DOOR, HEELS WAITRESS Goodness! I guess I really wan't expecting to see nobody in here today! LENNY Guess not. [pitifiul] Zat mean you're out of food? WAITRESS Mercy, no!

With Kelly Lawson In this show, I will be sharing the surprising things that can make or break your business. I'll be speaking straight from the heart – and my own experience – about the mistakes I made and how I learned the hard way where to laser-focus my time, energy and money. I don't want you to waste another second ignoring the things that can really move the dial for your business, so let's get talking about the simple steps you can take to achieve your goals starting RIGHT NOW. Today, I'm going to open up about the biggest mistakes I made in my own business and see many entrepreneurs around me getting wrong, too. I'm going to talk about the most surprising things that can literally make you sink or swim. When I started out in business, I got so many things backwards. Looking back now, I see how I put waaay too much time, energy and attention on the wrong things. And, on the flip side, hindsight lets me now see those things that were literally game-changers for my business. Aargh! If only they had been so crystal-clear then. It would have saved me so much money and stress! Anyhow, it's never too late to make a change for the better. Because here's the thing: once you've identified what can really make a difference, you can let a bunch of other stuff that's tying up all your time, energy and money go.

Together, they reminisce about simpler times when people could a.) go to the movies, b.) sit in whatever seat they wanted, and c.) pay less than $10 for a ticket. Marisa continues to refuse to watch Lord of the Rings, and Sam bids good riddance to handshakes. Plus, Marisa recaps circumstances that led her to meet a celebrity and end up on morning news.

Has this ever happened to you? You land what you think will be your dream job. But after a few months, you realize . . . you really don't like it. Aargh! That's happened to us, more than once. Sometimes the job wasn't what you thought. Sometimes the role changes as the company grows (or downsizes). And sometimes you just realize you're in the wrong career. Either way, it kind of makes you feel stuck. It's demotivating to wake up every day and realize the job you have is not the one you want. But there's hope! Together, we've held dozens of jobs in the business world. We know better than anyone that it's easy to wind up in a role that just doesn't fit. Over the years, we've reshaped our responsibilities, switched jobs, and even changed careers. It can be done! You don't have to feel stuck in a job, or even a career, that no longer fits your passion and proficiency. In this episode, we'll give you three possible actions you can take. One of them is sure to lead to a role that fits you. We're also joined by Ken Coleman, host of The Ken Coleman Show and author of The Proximity Principle: The Proven Strategy That Will Lead To The Career You Love. If you think your best option is simply to find a new career, you won't want to miss his advice. A job is like a pair of running shoes. With the right fit, you can go a lot faster and feel a lot better. Today, we're going to help you get the right fit. Don't spend another year lamenting the fact that you've wound up in the wrong spot. Today is the day you can begin to make a change!
