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.
:21:01
Well, we walked around together.
You didn't say anything.
:21:04
No, I didn't, did I?
:21:07
Well, I felt awkward.
:21:12
At least you liked the record I found you
so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
:21:17
It's so funny because I used to be in love
with a boy who just idolised Art Tatum.
:21:22
Well, this was years ago
on my first visit to Paris.
:21:25
He was a student and he played piano
in a jazz club in the student quarter.
:21:30
He didn't speak any English.
:21:33
And we spent a summer trying to make
each other understand our feelings.
:21:37
The funny thing was it didn't matter
that we only knew a few words.
:21:41
Oh, anyway, that was years ago.
:21:44
:21:47
I hate thunder. I don't care how harmless
it is, I wanna get under the bed!
:21:51
- The air is full of electricity.
- I'm serious!
:21:54
- Where is everyone? I heard voices.
- Hi.
:21:56
- How do I look? Don't say "old and fat".
- Great.
:21:59
Great. What time
do the guests arrive?
