Manhattan

:00:36

"Chapter one. "

:00:39

"He adored New York City.
He idolised it all out of proportion. "

:00:43

Uh, no. Make that "He romanticised it
all out of proportion. "

:00:47

"To him,
no matter what the season was,

:00:50

this was still a town
that existed in black and white

:00:53

and pulsated to the great tunes
of 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, bustle
of the crowds and the traffic. "

:01:09

"To him, New York
meant beautiful women

:01:11

and street-smart guys
who seemed to know all the angles. "

:01:15

Ah, corny. Too corny
for 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 metaphor
for the decay of contemporary culture. "

:01:28

"The same lack of integrity to cause so
many people to take the easy way out...

:01:32

... was rapidly turning the town
of his dreams..."

:01:35

No, it's gonna be too preachy. I mean,
face it, I wanna sell some books here.

:01:40

"Chapter one. He adored New York City,

:01:42

although to him it was a metaphor
for the decay of contemporary culture. "

:01:47

"How hard it was to exist in a society
desensitised by drugs, loud music,

:01:52

television, crime, garbage..."

:01:55

Too angry. I don't wanna be angry.

:01:57

"Chapter one. "
