[00:05.04]GARY COLEMAN: Right now you are down and out and feeling really crappy
[00:10.68]NICKY: I'll say.
[00:11.59]GARY COLEMAN: And when I see how sad you are
[00:14.55]It sort of makes me...
[00:16.97]Happy!
[00:18.21]
[00:19.03]NICKY: Happy?!
[00:19.82]GARY COLEMAN: Sorry, Nicky, human nature-
[00:23.63]Nothing I can do!
[00:26.72]It's...Schadenfreude!
[00:29.69]Making me feel glad that I'm not you.
[00:33.80]
[00:34.41]NICKY: Well that's not very nice, Gary!
[00:36.34]GARY COLEMAN: I didn't say it was nice! But everybody does it!
[00:39.34]D'ja ever clap when a waitress falls and drops a tray of glasses?
[00:45.52]NICKY: Yeah...
[00:46.07]GARY COLEMAN:And ain't it fun to watch figure skaters falling on their asses?
[00:51.47]NICKY: Sure!
[00:52.94]GARY COLEMAN: And don'tcha feel all warm and cozy,
[00:55.43]Watching people out in the rain!

[01:06.39]NICKY: Oh, Schadenfreude, huh?
[01:08.24]What's that, some kinda Nazi word?
[01:10.12]
[01:10.16]GARY COLEMAN:Yup! It's German for "happiness at the misfortune of others!"
[01:14.16]NICKY: "Happiness at the misfortune of others." That is German!
[01:17.92]Watching a vegetarian being told she just ate chicken
[01:23.26]GARY COLEMAN: Or watching a frat boy realize just what he put his dick in!
[01:30.57]NICKY: Being on the elevator when somebody shouts "Hold the door!"

[01:50.48]NICKY: Waking doormen from their naps!
[01:51.55]GARY COLEMAN: Watching tourists reading maps!
[01:52.93]NICKY:Football players getting tackled!

[02:11.98]GARY COLEMAN:The world needs people like you and me
[02:15.23]who've been knocked around by fate.
[02:18.54]'Cause when people see us, they don't want to be us, and that makes them feel great.
[02:24.64]NICKY:Sure!
[02:25.15]We provide a vital service to society!
[02:30.96]GARY AND NICKY:You and me!
