In the city's underground,
there's a symphony of sound,
a sonic chaos for the lost before they're found.
There's a beauty in the sorrow,
a kind of kinship that we borrow.
For no matter how you hate it,
I know I'll see you here tomorrow
down on the subway.
Just get off right here.
No, I told you, I left it on the desk. On the desk...

I-I-I thought that I was gonna be able to do it,
that it would help, but...
Okay.
Thank you for being so understanding.
No! No.
That's so nice of you to offer. Really.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we're being held on the tracks momentarily,
waiting for signals.
The MTA regrets this inconvenience
and thanks you for your patience.
Now, you know you can't leave that there.
Why are we stopped?
Police emergency.
Excuse me. How long is this going to take?
Your guess is as good as mine.
He locked the door.
Ladies and gentlemen!
It must be apparent that I'm about to ask for money.
But I will neither regale you with my tale of woe,
nor will I claim to be
a plagued veteran of the U.S. of A.
I prefer, sirs, madams, to earn my wage.
So I have prepared a performance,
for your listening pleasure,
from the work of Sir William Shakespeare.
To be, or not to be,
that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind
to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
or by taking arms against a sea of troubles
and by opposing end them.
To die... sleep, no more;
and by a sleep to say we end...
Excuse me.
Could you not do that?
Is it your intention to deprive these fine people
of their entertainment?
Soft you now?
Twill do, fine sir.
Ah, there's the rub.
My man!
We'll probably move in a minute or something.
I'm an artist, actually.
Sor... Uh, kinda like an artist/writer, I guess.
Not professional or anything... yet.
Um, I've been working on this comic that um...
Uh, see?
It's about a teenaged, handicapped superhero.
She's risen above her misfortune to battle...
Look, I don't feel like talking right now.
Oh. You speak E...
Yeah.
Your, um...
Your dancing is... is good.
How do you know?
Uh, what?
You a dancer?
No, um, I'm not.
Then why are you hanging around the studio?
Well, like I said,
I'm an artist, actually, and I wanna...
Right. Remember just a second ago,
when I said I didn't wanna talk?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I meant that.
Okay. Yeah, um...
I don't wanna talk at all, about anything. Okay?
We could talk about nothing. Nothing's good.
No thing.
Which is fascinating
if you think about it in the nihilistic sense, because...
Seriously?!
Do you think when I say, "I don't wanna talk,"
that I really do wanna talk to you?
No. I... I just wan...
I don't see you trying to show your stupid comic book
to anyone else on this train.
That's because I... I thought you would enjoy it, too.
What? Did you think maybe I was some cute little Asian girl
that was gonna cover my face and giggle
at all your clever little quips?
Oh!
No, no, I...
Stay away from me!

But you can call me Lloyd.
Hi, Lloyd.
So, what's your story?
Um, are... are you, like, a drug addict?
Uh. You don't have to answer that.
I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean to...
I... sometimes I just say... You could just tell me

I have no addictions to speak of.
Not even alcohol?
Oh, my God.
I'm just curious.
You're gonna get curiously stabbed in the face.
He's not gonna sta... You're not gonna stab...?
What is wrong with you? Nothing.
We're all trapped on this train.
You have no business provoking that guy.
I was just asking him some simple questions.
No, she's right.
You have no idea how that kind of a person can react.

you wouldn't be riding a train dressed like that,

My lady, I assure you,

Nobody cares about all of that right now.

No, he doesn't have to.
Go on, girl. Get your apology.

The only thing he will understand
is that I'm not there on time.
Oh, no, he'll understand. He... Oh!
You're speaking English. I should've...
My Spanish is...
You might be interested to know that, um,
the Spanish that I do know,
I learned from our janitorial staff...
I mean our, um, maintenance men.
You're just like them.
I mean, you're not just like them, but you, um...
Well, I can see you're a very diligent worker.
Well, I... I just think you're very fortunate.
It's clear for you why you work.
I mean, you're lucky.
You know who you are.
Fortunate?
This country wasn't made for people like me.
It was made for people like you.
Then why are you here?
Seriously, why?
Maybe because when it comes down to it,
it's better than anywhere else in the world.
Better if you're a rich white man.
- I'm not a rich white man. - Maybe your papiis.
What makes you say that?
Your English is too good for a Chinese girl.
I'm Korean.
I don't have anything you can't get for yourself.
You've never had to decide between seeing your family
and feeding your family.
You probably never even had to pay for your own toilet paper.
Nobody forced you to have a bunch of kids.
I think it's incredibly honorable
that he puts the needs of his family before his own.
Okay. I get that.
But what if something bad happened to you?
What if you got hurt? What would you do?
Go to the hospital, right? And you'd be treated.
Only, and correct me if I'm wrong,
you don't have health insurance,
so you wouldn't be able to pay.
Well, that's a rather heartless way of...
Right! I know.
That's the conundrum, right?
So what happens is a bunch of hospitals have to shut down
because of the overwhelming demand of people
who get sick and hurt and can't afford to pay their bills.
You think people are just supposed to be left bleeding in the street?
No. I didn't say that.
So they're not supposed to go to no hospital?
There are reasons we have the laws that we do.
There are reasons there were slaves.
Illegal immigrants are not slaves.
They come here because they want to.
And do the work nobody else wants to do.
Okay, but if they don't pay taxes, then...
Wait, wait.
How do you know he don't pay taxes?
Most of them don't.
"Most of them?"
See what I'm saying? Racist.
I don't mean Hispanics. I mean illegal immigrants.
"I don't mean to be racist, I mean to be racist."
No, no, no. You're twisting my words.
Girl, I got you. You've been tagged.
- Okay, listen to... - Tag!
- Most... - Tag!
- Most imm... - Tag!
Can I finish my sentence, please?
Yeah, you can finish your racist sentence. Go ahead.
Okay, first of all, I'm not the one who's racist.
We're not all Chinese!
And most illegal immigrants don't pay taxes
because they have to get paid under the table.
That's a fact. Doesn't matter
if they're Mexican, Bengali, Indian...
Damn! Do you hear yourself?
Which means they enjoy the benefits of our society
without contributing, which hurts everyone!
If he wants to live in America, then he...
You wouldn't even be here
if your mommy and daddy could make their own kids.
Wow. You got a bad case of rude.
Oh, yeah?
You people got your shit 50 years ago
and still don't have it together.
Excuse me? "You people"?
You had a black president
and still kill each other like it's your job.
Which is good,
'cause you usually don't have one.
So I defend your sorry ass,
and that's what you got to say?
You only opened your mouth 'cause black people
love to call racism any time they can.
I call it when ignorant people put it in my face.
Well, maybe if you weren't so ignorant as a people.
Okay.
I'm gonna need you to watch your tone, Speedy Gonzales.
What the hell are you doin' all day?
Standin' in the street, fumandomarijuana,
blarin' shit from your stereo.
mamita.
Life ain't your ride and your weave.
I think this is a totally inappropriate conversation!
You better watch your mouth
before I yank your tongue out your head.
You ain't gonna do shit.
Everybody knows you people are all talk.
Let me show you how I talk.
No, no, wait a minute! Wait.
We're all trapped on the train together.
Taco. I should punch you in your face.
Quite right, my lady.
Quite right.
Hey. How much did you give that guy, anyway?
$20.
Takes me three hours to make that.
I can give you some, too, if... if you want...
No, no, no, no, no.
I work for my money, mijo.
I work honestly for my wage, as well, sir.
Oh, yeah? Haciendo que?
By doing what?
Sleepin' in the train?
Lyin' in the gutter?
Who you servin' doing that?
You? Me? Them?
I bring a measure of grace to the world.
You know what I don't get?
Me? I will do anything to feed my kids,
anything por mi familia.
And you? There is nothing wrong with you.
Nothing, except that you won't get up off that bench
to help yourself or anyone else.
Thou, nature, art my goddess.
To thy laws my services are bound.
Wherefore should I stand in the plague of custom
and let the curiosity of nations deprive me?

...as honest...
as honest madam's issue...

I'm sorry things didn't work out for you

But I bet you have some family or some friends
that can help you out when the baby comes.
There ain't gonna be no baby.
What do you mean?
Exactly what I said.
Ain't gonna be no baby.
All of that's gonna be taken care of.
Okay.
Well, of course, you should do what you need to do.
I know I shouldn't, but I just see this!
This could be...
This could just be a gift from God.
I-I don't know, like an opportunity.
So you're one of those?
One of whom?
Look, lady.
God ain't gonna be the one elbow-deep in messy diapers,
running from school to work,
tryin' to deal with a dumb-ass baby daddy.
I wasn't criticizing you, I...
Anyone can chalk their life
up to doing what God wants them to do,
and not take responsibility for it themselves.
You tell me what's worse...
Havin' it when you ain't ready,
or taking care of the problem
before it ruins everyone's lives?

This ain't a child!
It can't survive without me!
That's not a human being, that's a parasite!
And this ain't none of your business.
I know. I'm sorry.
I'm just a little... I, um...
My son, he...
I lost my son.
He was, um...
Well, actually, somewhat recently.
Was a year ago...
today.
Well, there went that opportunity from God.
You don't know anything about me.
About my life, about my son.
You're right. I don't know anything about you.

Yes. No, I... Sí.
Gracias.
Um, I'm truly, truly sorry about your son,
but this ain't the same thing.
I'm alone. All alone.
I was alone, just like you.
You were never, ever just like me.
I'm guessing you believe every pregnancy is God's will?
No.
I just believe some women are mothers.
Yeah, well, I'm not.
- I disagree. - You don't even know me.
It doesn't make any difference.
You'd make a fantastic mother.
How could you be so sure?
Just some "white-woman bullshit."
Maybe she'd actually be doing a service
by saving some kid from a life of misery.
I didn't mean that a kid would be miserable with you specifically.
I-I just...
I just meant it's hard, you know,
for... for anyone to feel connected to anybody else.
It's all pretty pathetic.
I mean who in this city...
actually, who... who in the world ever just tries...
Between texting, e-mails, FaceTime, Skype, whatever,
we have more ways of communicating now
than we ever have before, and... and yet we just use them
as new and more convenient methods of ignoring each other.
Wow.
Deep thoughts from Creepy Time Subway Stalker.
You know, it's weird how you think
that you can say anything you want to anyone you want.
I don't think that. No?
What about all that smack you were talking to him earlier?
"Smack"? I wasn't talking smack.
It was just a debate.
Oh. Right.
So it's totally okay for someone like you to have a debate,
but you feel fine telling me when I need to shut up?
- I didn't tell you to shut up. - Yeah, you did.
Seriously, what... what is the deal?
Is someone just
handing out entitlement cards to girls like you
that just give you the go-ahead to act like a...
Bitch?
I didn't say that, but, okay, yeah.
Whatever.
What's that like?
What's whatlike?
Being entitled to pick and choose
the guys allowed to look at you or speak to you.
I don't get to pick and choose that stuff,
'cause if I did,
you wouldn't be talking to me right now.
See?! That's what I'm talking about.
Th-That's exactly what I'm saying.
You assume that you're entitled
to just say whatever you want
because, well, after all, you're just so fucking pretty!
It's so twisted that after stalking me,
you're actually trying to turn this shit around
and make make it my fault that you're a freak.
I'm not stalking you. Two days in a row,
you were sitting outside the coffee shop,
waiting for me as I left.
I like the coffee there.
And today is, what, a coincidence
that you were sitting outside the studio,
got on the same subway, the same car?
Wow. You know my every move.
Maybe you're stalking me.
What is it that you thought was gonna happen, huh?
Did you think we were gonna go on a date or something?
No.
Do you wanna sneak a few more shots of me on your cell?
No, no, no. Don't look down.
I mean, we're stuck here, right?
Let's just get it over with.
Go ahead.
Look at me!
Look at me.

Ladies and gentlemen, good news.
We'll be moving shortly.
We'll be making all local stops to the end of the line.
23rd Street.
Stand clear of the closing doors.
Hey!
Thanks.
Give me your phone.
I-I just took the one for a reference.
I'm sorry.
It's Caleb, right?
Yeah.
Hey.
Have your girl.
No.
No, no, no.
I'm not doing that.
I watched my mother work herself to the bone
raising me and my sister.
I'm not wasting my life like that.
Your mother didn't waste her life.
Hey!
How do you know it's a girl?
It's always a girl.
Next stop, Christopher Street.
Excuse me.
May I?
Oh!
This is really the best end of the train.
I don't know who I am anymore.
I don't, either.
You're somebody's son.
Bye.
