:25:01
Are any of these yours?
:25:03
No. Mine are grown and long gone.
:25:08
Where's Mrs. Landsky tonight?
:25:12
She's long gone too.
:25:13
Oh, you're a widower.
:25:16
No, she's just gone.
:25:20
Some punch?
:25:23
She just up and left one day right
in the middle of vacuuming.

:25:27
Didn't even switch the damn thing off.
:25:39
Is there a Mr. Flax?
:25:42
No. He too made a rather sudden
and unexpected departure.

:25:45
Was he vacuuming?
:25:46
No. I was in labor with Charlotte.
:25:48
Yeah, and to add insult to injury
:25:51
the son-of-a-bitch stole
my car to leave in.

:25:54
A red Buick convertible
with white sidewall tires.

:25:58
It still pisses me off.
:26:00
It's obvious it means a lot to you.
:26:02
The first time
:26:03
I got behind the wheel of that car
I thought, "This is heaven."

:26:07
Cars mean freedom.
:26:08
If you hate a place, you can get in
your car, poof, you're gone.

:26:13
So your first love was a Buick.
:26:16
Yeah, before I met my husband.
:26:17
Big mistake. One of many.
:26:20
Are we talking cars or men?
:26:23
I don't know.
Both have taken me for a ride.

:26:31
I try not to get too involved with
women before the World Series starts

:26:40
but for you I'd make an exception.
:26:44
Is that a compliment?
:26:46
Oh, yes. I would really
like to know you a whole lot better.

:26:51
So call me Lou.
:26:54
So, Lou, call me.
:26:58
How about Sunday? I'm free all day.
