Where's your wife?

Angela What do you want? Lester Are you kidding? I want you. Lester Burnham My name is Lester Burnham. This is my neighborhood; this is my street; this is my life. I am 42 years old; in less than a year I will be dead. Of course I don't know that yet, and in a way, I am dead already. Lester Burnham Look at me, jerking off in the shower — this will be the high point of my day. It's all downhill from here.
