:19:03
Retreat?
Yeah.

:19:05
See, it's right near here.
:19:07
I go every year at this time when
Harry takes the kids to Bakersfield.

:19:11
What's in Bakersfield?
His mother.

:19:13
It's her birthday.
:19:15
Doesn't she mind that you
don't go? No, she hates me.

:19:18
'Cause I got pregnant. Her son
had something to do with that.

:19:22
Yeah, she blocks that
out of her mind.

:19:25
See, he was in his first year
of dental college...

:19:27
and he had to quit and take a
job selling waterless cooking.

:19:32
So now every year on her
birthday, I just go on retreat.

:19:35
To think about God?
:19:37
Well, him too, sure,
but also about myself...

:19:40
'cause, see, I got pregnant
when I was just 18,

:19:44
so I've never really
had any time to just think.

:19:47
You know,
I mean, about,

:19:50
well,
what I think about.

:19:54
Never mind. I don't know
what I'm trying to say.

:19:57
Sometimes I think I'm crazy. Why?
:20:00
Oh. Well,
:20:04
okay,
like, take my life.

:20:06
Now, we live in a two-bedroom
duplex in downtown Oakland,

:20:11
and we have
a 1948 Studebaker,

:20:14
a blond, three-piece
dinette set,

:20:17
Motorola TV.
:20:19
We go bowling
at least once a week.

:20:21
I mean, what more
could anyone ask for?

:20:24
But sometimes...
:20:27
things get me down.
:20:29
Oh, I don't know.
It's dumb.

:20:34
I don't think
it's dumb.

:20:38
You don't?
No.

:20:43
You know, I can really
talk to you.

:20:47
It's just amazing.
:20:49
I find myself saying things to you
that I didn't even know I thought.

:20:53
I noticed that yesterday right
after we met in the restaurant.

:20:56
We had instant rapport.
Did you notice that too?

:20:58
No, but I know
we really hit it off.
