It's nice to help people's self esteem.
Hal is talking to his friend Don who's wife just left him for another man and is feeling down.
Hal wants to talk to Don.
Hal tells Don that he knows it hurts but to remember that he's a great looking and funny guy.
Hal tells Don that there's not much he can do about it, so to just try to get over the fact his wife loves someone else.
Don cheers up right away because he was reminded that he has good qualities and will find someone else because of it.
Don feels even more depressed because what Hal said was not uplifting.
