After stretching the truth on a deal with a spiritual guru, literary agent Jack McCall finds a Bodhi tree on his property. Its appearance holds a valuable lesson on the consequences of every word we speak.

Jack McCall: I guess you never know if the last time you see someone is going to be the last time you ever see someone.
[first lines]
Jack McCall: My name is Jack McCall. If you can hear me, what you're listening to is not the sound of my voice. It's the sound of my inner voice, the one inside my head. I'd like to talk to you, but I can't. Because if I say just one more sentence out loud... I'll die.
Aaron Wiseberger: When you talk all the leaves fall off the tree.
Aaron Wiseberger: I went to community college, and that was only because my grandma was sleeping with the dean.
