O fenómeno das profissões inúteis

Alvy as young boy sits on a sofa with his mother in an old-fashioned, cluttered doctor's office. The doctor stands near the sofa, holding a cigarette and listening.

MOTHER (To the doctor)

He's been depressed. All off a sudden, he can't do anything.

DOCTOR (Nodding)

Why are you depressed, Alvy?

MOTHER (Nudging Alvy)

Tell Dr. Flicker.

(Young Alvy sits, his head down. His mother answers for him) It's something he read.

DOCTOR (Puffing on his cigarette and nodding)

Something he read, huh?

ALVY (His head still down)

The universe is expanding.

DOCTOR

The universe is expanding?

ALVY (Looking up at the doctor)

Well, the universe is everything, and if it's expanding, someday it will break apart and that would be the end of everything!Disgusted, his mother looks at him.

MOTHER (shouting)

What is that your business?

(she turns back to the doctor)

He stopped doing his homework.

ALVY

What's the point?

MOTHER (Excited, gesturing with her hands)

What has the universe got to do with it? You're here in Brooklyn! Brooklyn is not expanding!

DOCTOR (Heartily, looking down at Alvy)

It won't be expanding for billions of years yet, Alvy. And we've gotta try to enjoy ourselves while we're here. Uh?
