Newton, they say, thought of gravity
by getting hit on the head by an apple.
1:14:11
And the man who invented the steam-engine,
he was watching a teakettle.
1:14:15
But not me. My big idea came
to me just sitting on a couch.
1:14:21
That boot in the rear to Margo.
Heaven knows, she had one coming.
1:14:25
From me, from Lloyd, from Eve,
Bill, Max and so on.
1:14:29
We'd allfelt those size fives
of hers often enough.
1:14:32
But how? The answer was
buzzing around me like a fly.
1:14:36
I had it.
1:14:39
But I let it go.
Screaming and calling names is one thing,
1:14:43
but this could mean...
1:14:46
Why not? "Why"I said to myself"not?"
1:14:51
It would all seem perfectly legitimate.
And only two people in the world would know.
1:14:56
Also, the boot would land where
it would do the most goodfor all concerned.
1:15:00
After all, it was no more than a harmless joke
1:15:03
which Margo herself
would be the first to enjoy.
1:15:06
And no reason why she shouldn't
be told about it... in time.
1:15:17
Hello. Will you please call
Miss Eve Harrington to the phone?
1:15:23
Not at all. I'll wait.
1:15:27
It was a cold weekend, outside and in.
1:15:31
Bill didn't come at all.
1:15:32
Margo didn't know where he was
and didn't care... she kept saying.
1:15:37
Somehow we staggered through Sunday,
1:15:40
and by the time we drove Margo
to the station late Monday afternoon,
1:15:43
she and Lloyd had thawed out
to the extent of being civil to each other.
1:15:48
- What time is it?
- When you asked a minute ago, it was 5.42.
1:15:52
It is now 5.43.
When you ask again a minute from now...
1:15:56
I just don't want Margo to miss her train.
As it is, she'll barely make the theatre.
