1:03:04
I told her why not.
I don't think she believed me.
1:03:06
I just told her he wasn't a person
I knew that well, that was why not.
1:03:11
You know what baffles old Miss Seibert?
1:03:13
Why girls know 10 times more already
than her grandmother ever did.
1:03:16
How a chromosome splits up and things.
1:03:19
Just don't bother to "protect themselves,"
as she puts it.
1:03:21
I've wondered about that myself.
1:03:23
"Surely you're aware
of the modern methods available to you...
1:03:26
"aren't you, Erica, dear?"
1:03:27
I started to say,
"You don't know me very well.
1:03:30
"I'm not planning to make a career out of it.
Really work at it like that.
1:03:33
"I'm not that kind of girl."
1:03:36
I didn't, though.
1:03:37
How can you explain...
1:03:39
that you can't spend all your time
protecting yourself, as she calls it?
1:03:43
Makes it dirty and some kind of a
commitment, instead of just what happens.
1:03:48
It's an insulting idea.
1:03:50
Very original. Very well done.
1:03:54
I inherited this talent
for gooping things up from my mother.
1:03:57
When we had this place called the Pantry,
in Oceanside...
1:03:59
she was always gooping up the cakes.
She was real artistic.
1:04:03
The kind of customers we got
didn't appreciate it.
1:04:05
I've got half a notion
to take up where my parents left off.
1:04:08
Daddy's brakes gave out on the ridge route.
1:04:11
It was a four-car collision,
written up in the paper.
1:04:15
Wonder why I don't remember the funeral.
1:04:18
I do remember I wrote a poem about it,
but it wasn't any good.
1:04:21
Put too many horses in it.
1:04:22
"Riderless stallion
searching the lonely, trackless nights"
1:04:32
He kicked me.
1:04:41
Mr. Kotcher, he kicked me.
He just kicked me.
1:04:44
What do you know?
1:04:57
It was a big Buick, I think.
Daddy did a lot of work on it himself.
