:18:04
A woman who obsesses you.
:18:07
I know that feeling.
:18:09
I'm often obsessed.
:18:12
You oughta eat something, kid.
You eat like a bird.
:18:20
All right, I'll tell ya.
:18:22
June appeared like an angel.
I offered her a fool's fate.
:18:25
She was a taxi dancer.
:18:27
I paid my dime.
:18:30
She put her head on my shoulder.
:18:32
But then the lies began.
:18:34
She told me her mother
was a Gypsy.
:18:37
Her father was a count.
:18:39
Later I saw a film and realized she
swiped her childhood out of the film.
:18:44
And so?
:18:46
So I married her.
:18:50
She gave me the courage to quit my job
to write full time. She believed in me.
:18:55
Somehow she got some money so
we could buy strawberries in the winter.
:19:00
We're broke,
living in a dump in Brooklyn...
:19:02
but we're living like kings.
:19:14
Then one day she meets an artist.
:19:16
Brings her home to live with us.
:19:20
Pretty soon we're supporting Jean, too.
:19:25
How is she getting the money?
:19:31
- Pop.
- Pop?
:19:32
Pop's her scam.
:19:36
I found out about Pop only after
she barged in with a fistful of money...
:19:40
and suggests I go to Paris to write.
:19:42
Then she'll join me later.
:19:45
I take one look into her lying eyes,
and say...
:19:49
"Anything you say."
:19:51
Pack my bags
and I'm off to Europe.
:19:56
But...
:19:59
I'm not quite the sap
she takes me for.
