Albert's girlfriend shares her emotions about a difficult situation in her personal life and he listens and holds her hand, often saying "uh-huh" and "hmm" in a kind tone. Albert's roommate mentions that he saw the woman Albert has a crush on in the grocery store. Even though his roommate keeps talking, Albert is thinking about the woman and wondering when he'll get a chance to see her again. Albert finds his roommate's talk about work boring, but he doesn't want to hurt his roommate's feelings so he always nods and makes thoughtful faces while his roommate talks. However, truthfully, Albert is thinking about the video game he wants to play when his roommate is done sharing about his day. Albert puts his ear against the door to listen to his roommate fighting with his mom on the phone about money.
