Give me a jam and I’ll read your story.
What does it mean? I heard it in the movie, As Goos As It Gets. The English subtitle says, "Then stay".The scene goes like this.
Melvin: I'm stuck. I'm in trouble.
Simon: Pull the stuff and tell her how you feel.
Melvin: She might kill me if I go there.
Simon: Give me a jam and I'll read your story. The best thing going for you is your willingness to humiliate yourself. So go over there. Do this. Catch her off guard.
This post is my tenth question of the movie, As Good As It Gets. I'm going to reach the last scene that Melvin tells Carol how he loves her. Thank you for your help with my studying in the movie. I appreciate you all.

3. How do you open the bags of potato chips?
Japanese potato chips bags have a small cut for easy opening, then if you pull it, the bags open in a vertical way. I don't like it so I don't pull it. I cut in horizon way with scissors. Have you ever thought which direction is the best of opening? why? This is a very silly question, but it is a riddle to me.
I think my sentences are strange, so please correct them, I will be happy. Thank you.

2. Does it rain every time you go out? why?
It often rains when I go out on my off day. My off is Mondays and it rained three days last month. I saw the name of song on TV yesterday, "Rainy Days and Monday" by Carpenters.(Old famous American singers). Then I think that people in the world might think the same as me. How about you? Does it often rain when you go out? What day? What do you think about it?

1.Do you have any plants in the living room? Why?
If you want to see green, you only have to go out. Why do you keep it in the house? I'm just curious. I have one plant because many people do and I just follow their way that might make my room beautiful. But the result is that it's growing quickly, reaching the ceiling now. I don't know how to do it. Should I cut out the hole on the ceiling to help it growing? Then, I'm thinking about why I put it in the living room. How about you?

As Good As It Gets, "You think I'm a mark."
youtube.com/watch?v=slGOEjM2Pyk
I like this scene that has some idioms and good expressions. I googled some words that I didn't know and learned them. But still, there are two expressions that I can't understand. Please show the alternative words to me.
1:28 You think I'm a mark. ( Japanese subtitle says, "Don't tease me.)
2:00 Think white and get serious! ( Does it mean that he should give up the idea and make it nothing from the first like a white paper before writing down on?)
I like Melvin's line, "Like the wind, but I'M NOT DOING IT!" I laughed.
Thank you.

As Good As It Gets. Carol's Line, "What is it you want?"
I'm enjoying English in the movie, As Good As It Gets. The scene that I love is Carol's crying in front of her mother in the kitchen.
Mom: So, what you are saying is that you're frustrated.
Carol: Leave me be. Why are you doing this? What is it you want? I hope to get me to think everything is wrong. All that I want to do is not do that has some purpose.
( Unfortunately, I can't catch perfectly the last part of the line.)
I wrote their lines watching Youtube. There might be some errors though, I love this scene. Even though there are English that I can't catch, I feel her and tear. I think she wants to say that everyone questions at some point in life what it was not supposed to become like this. It was not any purpose.

As Good As It Gets, Carol's line. (question #8)
Thank you for picking up my question.
Caro and her mom are talking. Carol is frustrated and crying.
Mom: So what you are saying that you're frustrated.
Carol: Leave me be. Why are you doing this? What is it you what? I hope to get me thinking about everything that's wrong{ . } when all I want to do is not do that has some purpose.
Is Carol's lat line one sentence or two sentences? If it's two sentences, it would be
"I hope to get me thinking about everything that's wrong.
All when I want to do is not do that has some purpose."
I think that Carol wants to say that her life is moving in the wrong direction. Because when she wanted to do something, she didn't have any purpose. It was not her fault.
Is my understanding right?
I like this scene. Even though there are English I don't know, I feel her and tear. Everybody thinks at some point in life that it was not supposed to become like this.

As Good As It gets. Carol’s line, "What good does that ever get anybody?" (question #7)
Carol is writing a thank you note to Melvin and she starts to cry to answer to her mom' s question.
Mom: We're going out like people do. If you can't feel good about this break and step out a little...then I think you ought to have Mr Udall send you over a psychiatrist.
Carol: It's very weird now, not feeling that ...stupid panic thing inside me all the time. Without that, I just start thinking about myself. And, what good does that ever get anybody?
I don't understand the last sentence of Carol. Unfortunately the Japanese subtitle doesn't help me. I don't understand the English structure of the sentence. Which is the subject and verb? What does the subject indicate?
This sentence is as hard as the title, As Good As It Gets".
Please help me.
Thank you very much.
EDITED after Sophie's answer.
I learned this is a common phrase. Please show me some examples. What kind of situations, when, do you use the phrase?

As Good As It Gets. Melvin's line. ( Question # 6)
The scene goes like this. Carol is at the door of Melvin's place. She came here to say something about that Melvin had sent the doctor to Carol's son and he had arranged the bill to pay. Carol wanted to ask why Melvin did this.
Melvin: Are you waiting for me to say something? Look...I'll be at the restaurant tomorrow.
Carol: I don't think this can wait until tomorrow. I need to be clear this up now.
Melvin: Clear what up?
Carol: I'm not going to sleep with you! I will never sleep with you! Never ever! Not ever!
Melvin: Well, I'm sorry but, we don't open for no-sex oath until 9 a.m.
I understand the contents because Carol seemed to feel relieved. But I don't understand what Melvin said at the end. Japanese subtitle says, "We don't welcome the customers at late night" so that I get the meaning of his saying that he doesn't want to sleep with her either. But what does his line exact mean?
Should not I ask deeply about that here? Should not I mind the line?
If it's ok, please explain to me.
Thank you.

The movie, As Good As It Gets. "You're a disgrace to depression."
I'm enjoying English in the movie, As Good As It Gets. When I don't understand the meaning, I always look up the dictionary and Google it, but still there are many phrases that I don't understand. Please help me with English. Thank you.
Here is my question. This is very famous scene that Melvin ( Jack Nicholson) is insulting Nelly who is a gay artist.
Melvin says, "You're a disgrace to depression." I know the meaning each word, but I don't get it what Melvin wants to say. Could you please explain with alternative words for me?
