Is that the only thing
you'Ve got on for tonight?

:40:07
He's gonna be in there all night.
:40:10
He would lay on the front lawn -
:40:12
- with all the lights off,
so I wouldn't know he was there.

:40:16
He was trying to catch me.
:40:18
One night, I was like on my third date,
and I opened the door to shake hands -

:40:23
- and I turned on all the lights. There
was my father, laying on the front lawn.

:40:27
Spreadeagle.
The guy didn't say anything.

:40:31
Are you finished with your dinners?
:40:33
We just stared at him
and nobody said anything for a long time.

:40:37
Ralph said, ''Good night, Mr Carter.''
:40:39
I said, ''Good night, Dad,''
and I shut the door and locked him out.

:40:51
Your friend John
doesn't like me very much.

:40:56
He's kind of scratchy today.
The longshoremen struck us.

:41:01
I didn't know those guys could read.
:41:07
- Is your old man still...?
- Oh, yeah, he's still around.

:41:11
- Does he work?
- Yes, he's an inVestment banker.

:41:16
- My old man did that too.
- You're kidding?

:41:20
Only it was called loan-sharking.
:41:22
There must be a difference,
because my old man did time for it.

:41:26
Mine just hasn't been caught yet.
:41:29
I was 15 when they sent him up and
during this little extended vacation -

:41:35
- a couple of kids and me stole a car.
Wentjoyriding.

:41:40
When he got out, he found out about it.
He took me in the woods to a cabin.

:41:46
It had a dirt basement.
:41:49
He locked me in and left.
Three days.

:41:55
Who was he to preach?
:41:57
He said if I wanted to be a thief,
then I ought to know what it was like.
