:29:02
Only this was different. It was in the South Pacific,
and it wasn't the maternity ward.
:29:08
My jaw was wired.
I couldn't talk.
:29:10
I couldn't ask who I was.
I- I nearly went nuts.
:29:13
Then I found my wallet.
:29:16
There was a letter in it. No name. No signature.
Just a letter.
:29:20
It-
:29:22
It told me about myself.
It told me good.
:29:25
From then on I lived
with that letter.
:29:27
It went around in my head like a crazy squirrel
on a hopped-up treadmill.
:29:31
I was scared,
and I was sick.
:29:33
Sick to my heart at what
the letter said I was like...
:29:35
and scared of anybody
finding it out.
:29:37
Scared I'd find it out myself.
I didn't want to know anymore.
:29:42
So I kept my mouth shut.
:29:44
I got away with it,
got my discharge.
:29:49
And I thought maybe I could start
with a brand-new scorepad.
:29:53
But you can't just
throw away-
:29:57
How many years of living?
I don't even know.
:30:00
Do you know what it's like, Christy,
to be alone in the world?
:30:04
Really alone
in the whole world.
:30:06
A billion people,
and every one of them a stranger.
:30:10
Or what's worse,
not a stranger.
:30:12
Somebody maybe
who knows you, hates you...
:30:16
wants you to die.
:30:18
Then last night I found
another letter.
:30:21
This one was from
Larry Cravat.
:30:24
It said he was my pal.
:30:27
Imagine, I had a pal.
:30:30
So I started
looking for him.
:30:32
That was this morning.
:30:35
Since then, I've been
chased by hoodlums, beaten up.
:30:40
That's quite a pal
you're looking for.
:30:43
I can't be choosy.
He's the only one I've got.
:30:45
It's like that joke about the crooked
gambling house. He's the only one in town.
:30:50
So why don't I go find
another town?
:30:52
- You mean run away and hide?
- Why not?
:30:55
Sure. Why not?
:30:57
So I'll be alone for a while.
It won't be for long.
