It's a weird disability.
Like, it's weird, like--
Even the things that are made to help you,
people are kinda like... (GROANS).
Like they're (GROANS) about, like it's just (GROANS).
Like, I watch movies with closed captioning on,
that's just how I watch 'em.
I've always watched them that way.
I never used to tell anyone about it,
I never used to bring it up,
because I didn't want to be different.
I didn't want to be seen as different.
I don't want to call attention to the fact
that I was different.
The first time I brought it up, I was in college.
My roommate was like, "Hey, you wanna watch a movie?"
I was like, "Yeah, do you mind
if we turn on the closed captioning?
I got, like, a hearing thing."
Figuring he's my friend. He'd understand.
And he said...
(MUFFLED)
And here's the thing, it's not the same.
If it was the same, I would just ask for that.
Second of all, I'm not even sure
you're legally allowed to say no.
Like, this is what they're for, motherfucker, turn 'em on.
Like, I'm the guy.
Like, what do you think they're there for?
To fuck with you? To-- For the people at the gym?
Like, I'm the person that the technology is for.
Turn 'em on-- Like, there's a picture
on the back of the box with, like, the ear.
Closed captioning! That's my fucking ear!
Turn 'em on, you psycho! It's like,
no other disability is this even remotely acceptable.
It's like, if your friend's in a wheelchair and he was like,
"Hey, do you mind if we take the ramp?"
Would you be like, (GROANS) "Come on!"
"The ramp? It's all the way
on the other side of the building, dude.
The normal door is right here!
It's three steps, can't you crawl up there?
Aren't your arms stronger?
Can't we just pick you up and throw you, is that fine?
You still get there. It's the same!"
It's not the same.
Turn on the closed captioning, man, I want to see
when acoustic music is playing.
I gotta know.
That's how you know what's going on in the movie,
see that parentheses, like, "up-tempo techno,"
and you go, "Oh. Okay.
Now I see what's going on in this David Lynch film.
I was...
I was so lost before."
