Zach Braff - Laughing and Crying lyrics

INT. BAR - NIGHT ANDREW I don't know. It was the only thing I ever liked doing. Pretending to be someone else. I've been so out of it lately, the only parts I get offered are playing handicapped people. [Sam laughs] That is not funny. SAM Oh, come on. You gotta see that's a joke. If you can't laugh at yourself, life's gonna seem a whole lot longer than you'd like. ANDREW All right, so what are we laughing at you about? SAM Mm. I lied again. I have epilepsy. ANDREW Which part are we laughing about? SAM I, um... I had a seizure at the law office where I work. And they told me their insurance wouldn't cover me unless I wore preventative covering. ANDREW What's preventative covering? SAM The helmet I was wearing. Oh, come on! That's funny. That's really funny. I mean, I'm the only person who wears a helmet to work... who isn't, like, putting out fires, or, like, racing for NASCAR. ANDREW Well, what do you do? I mean, SAM I can't quit. Their insurance is amazing. ANDREW What do you do? SAM You laugh, you know? I'm not saying I don't cry. But in-between, I laugh. And I realize how silly it is to take anything too seriously. Plus, I look forward to a good cry. Feels pretty good. ANDREW I haven't cried since I was a little kid. I didn't cry at my mother's funeral. I tried, you know? I thought of all the saddest things I could think of. Like, things in movies, this... There's this image from Life magazine that's always haunted me. I just focused in on it, you know? But nothing came. That actually made me sadder than anything... the fact that I just felt so numb. SAM What do you mean? ANDREW Just that... MARK Hey, Vagina.! ANDREW Hey, what's up, guys? Uh, Sam, that's Mark, Dave and you remember Jesse. MARK Hey. DAVE What's up? MARK Hey, nice to meet you. I'm sorry I said "vagina" just now. I didn't know you were here. SAM Oh, that's okay. MARK Nice. Let's get f**ed up.
