and you made it sound so terrific,
:56:04
and believe me, you weren't exaggerating,
:56:06
because this is magnificent.
:56:09
And since I got a two-week vacation
comin' up,

:56:13
I said to myself, "Go on down there,
check out the area, look to see."

:56:18
"Maybe you can rent a cabin."
:56:21
You're not gonna tell me
you drove down here

:56:23
just to look for a vacation spot, are you?
:56:26
Why else would I come?
:56:28
You're wasting your time.
:56:30
I have a feeling that cabins in this neck
of the woods are out of your price range.

:56:35
Most of them are rented for the season.
:56:37
Oh, gee whizz. That's too bad.
:56:42
Gosh, my wife is gonna be disappointed.
:56:45
- Well, it was a nice ride, anyhow.
- Yes, a lovely drive.

:56:49
Except for that bottleneck down the road.
What was that all about?

:56:52
- Oh, there was a drowning.
- What was it? A fisherman?

:56:56
I heard someone say it was a local woman.
:56:58
- A Miss La Sanka or something?
- Something like that, yeah.

:57:02
- Did you know her?
- Not really.

:57:05
I was wondering, because in the kitchen,
I noticed a grocery box with her name on it.

:57:10
I occasionally buy supplies there,
like anyone else who lives around here.

:57:14
I think she was the one that drowned. Yeah.
:57:17
Cos I stopped by the grocery store
to pick up some cigars

:57:21
and I noticed it was closed
and the cops' cars around.

:57:26
Well, if it was her, I'd be very sorry.
:57:30
- She was always very friendly.
- Yeah. That's a shame.

:57:34
Oh, you did know her?
:57:37
I know a lot of people
without really knowing them,

:57:40
like barbers, waitresses,
parking lot attendants,

:57:44
even the cop on the beat.
:57:46
- Don't you?
- Yeah. Yeah, I do, as a matter of fact.

:57:52
I'll tell you, though. People are strange.
I can't figure 'em out.

:57:56
Why a woman goes out on a lake
all by herself before the light comes up.
