:37:01
Oh, very sensible.
:37:02
As a matter of fact, I'm going to an extremely crazy party
on Washington Square.
:37:06
If you'll like, I'll take you along.
:37:09
Oh. Thank you very much, Miss St. James,
but I have to see a friend uptown.
:37:14
- Oh. Goodbye, Mr. Birnam.
- Goodbye.
:37:29
Who threw that?
:37:31
- It fell out of my pocket.
- Do you always carry those things?
:37:33
That friend of mine, the one uptown, he has a slight cold
and I thought I'd take this along and make him a hot toddy.
:37:40
- Well, see that he gets a hot lemonade and some asprin.
- I shall.
:37:47
Bye. Oh, Miss St. James!
:37:50
Yes?
:37:51
- What kind of a party was that you asked me to?
- A cocktail party.
:37:54
- Invitation still stand?
- Of course. Come on.
:38:05
Okay. So they go to that cocktail party and...
:38:07
he gets stinko and falls flat on his face.
:38:09
He does not.
:38:10
By this time, he's crazy about that girl by then.
:38:13
He drinks tomato juice.
:38:14
Doesn't touch liquor for that whole week...
for two weeks, for six weeks.
:38:17
In love, huh?
:38:20
That's what's going to be hard to write.
:38:22
Love is the hardest thing in the world to write about.
:38:25
It's so simple.
:38:27
You've got to catch it through details...
:38:29
like the early morning sunlight hitting the gray tin
of the rainspot in front of her house.
:38:33
The ringing of a telephone that sounds like Beethoven's Pastoral.
:38:37
A letter scribbled on her office stationery...
:38:39
that you carry in your pocket
because it smells of all the lilacs in Ohio.
:38:44
Pour it, Nat!
:38:48
He thinks he's cured.
:38:51
If he could only get a job now,
they could be married and that's that.
:38:55
But it's not Nat. Not quite.
:38:57
Because one day, one terrible day.
