Something like this... there's never a good time. Larry Gopnik:
I don't know where it all leaves me, Sy's death. Obviously it's not gonna go back like it was. Rabbi Nachtner:

No, I- well, yeah... sometimes... or... I don't know; I guess the honest answer is "I don't know". What was my life before? Not what I thought it was. What does it all mean? What is Hashem trying to tell me, making me pay for Sy Ableman's funeral? Rabbi Nachtner:
Mm. Larry Gopnik:
And did I tell you I had a car accident The same time Sy had his? The same instant, for all I know. I mean, is Hashem telling me that Sy Ableman is me? Or that we are all one, or something? Rabbi Nachtner:
