:19:01
- You looked like you were...
- No, nothing.
:19:04
:19:07
Thunder's getting close.
:19:09
Yeah.
:19:14
So, who's the history professor?
:19:17
The history professor? How did you know
about that? Did we talk about that?
:19:21
Well, you mentioned to me one time that
that might be the title of your book.
:19:27
The history professor was my father.
:19:31
He taught at a college
in Connecticut and he...
:19:36
..he was fired during the McCarthy era.
:19:38
He was blacklisted. He had to do
all kinds of things to keep us going.
:19:42
Like what?
:19:44
He supported us by playing poker
and betting the horses.
:19:48
He sounds wonderful.
:19:50
Yeah, he was.
:19:54
I see what you mean by a survivor.
:20:01
This summer went by too fast.
:20:07
I had such high hopes for this book.
:20:10
To tell you the truth, I'm floundering.
:20:13
:20:17
Is this the first time
you've tried to write a book?
:20:20
Oh, I've published a couple of short
stories. Nothing... Nothing any good.
:20:26
I've never been able to do it full time. I've
always been busy with other obligations.
:20:33
You don't want to hear about all this.
:20:36
You know, Lane showed me
some of your short stories and...
:20:39
..I thought they were wonderful.
:20:43
It's funny.
:20:45
I've wanted to talk to you so often,...
:20:49
..but we never seem to be alone.
:20:52
We were alone.
We were alone for a whole afternoon.
:20:56
Running into you at the local
flea market is not exactly private.
