Skip to 8 minutes in on the first video. It cuts off at a weird part so you should watch the beginning of the second part too.
I seriously can't stop watching this and thinking about his little facial expressions, pauses and phrasing. The way he closes his eyes and shakes his head before saying "I don't have a favorite book." Pillowman flashbacks like whoa. The embarrassed smirk after the line about the towel with feelings. Who else has such offbeat instincts like this? WHO? NO ONE. Every actor in the world should watch this scene over and over to try to figure out how he did it. Then they should all quit upon realizing that they'll never be this good. Never.
