:00:39
"He adored New York City.He idolised it all out of proportion. "
:00:43
Uh, no. Make that "He romanticised itall out of proportion. "
:00:47
"To him,no matter what the season was,
:00:50
this was still a townthat existed in black and white
:00:53
and pulsated to the great tunesof George Gershwin. "
:00:56
Uh... no. Let me start this over.
:00:59
"Chapter one. "
:01:01
"He was too romantic about Manhattan,as he was about everything else. "
:01:05
"He thrived on the hustle, bustleof the crowds and the traffic. "
:01:09
"To him, New Yorkmeant beautiful women
:01:11
and street-smart guyswho seemed to know all the angles. "
:01:15
Ah, corny. Too cornyfor a man of my taste.
:01:18
Let me... try and make it more profound.
:01:20
"Chapter one. He adored New York City. "
:01:24
"To him, it was a metaphorfor the decay of contemporary culture. "
:01:28
"The same lack of integrity to cause somany people to take the easy way out...
:01:32
... was rapidly turning the townof his dreams..."
:01:35

:01:40
"Chapter one. He adored New York City,
:01:42
although to him it was a metaphorfor the decay of contemporary culture. "
:01:47
"How hard it was to exist in a societydesensitised by drugs, loud music,
:01:52
television, crime, garbage..."
:01:55
Too angry. I don't wanna be angry.
:01:57
"Chapter one. "
