:26:00
How are you?
Good. I'm even better now.

:26:05
Are any of these yours?
:26:07
No. Mine are grown and long gone.
:26:12
Where's Mrs. Landsky tonight?
:26:16
She's long gone too.
:26:18
Oh, you're a widower.
:26:20
No, she's just gone.
:26:24
Some punch?
:26:28
She just up and left one day right
in the middle of vacuuming.

:26:33
Didn't even switch the damn thing off.
:26:45
Is there a Mr. Flax?
:26:48
No. He too made a rather sudden
and unexpected departure.

:26:51
Was he vacuuming?
:26:52
No. I was in labor with Charlotte.
:26:54
Yeah, and to add insult to injury
:26:57
the son-of-a-bitch stole
my car to leave in.

:27:01
A red Buick convertible
with white sidewall tires.

:27:04
It still pisses me off.
:27:06
It's obvious it means a lot to you.
:27:09
The first time
:27:10
I got behind the wheel of that car
I thought, "This is heaven."

:27:14
Cars mean freedom.
:27:15
If you hate a place, you can get in
your car, poof, you're gone.

:27:20
So your first love was a Buick.
:27:23
Yeah, before I met my husband.
:27:25
Big mistake. One of many.
:27:28
Are we talking cars or men?
:27:30
I don't know.
Both have taken me for a ride.

:27:39
I try not to get too involved with
women before the World Series starts

:27:48
but for you I'd make an exception.
:27:53
Is that a compliment?
:27:55
Oh, yes. I would really
like to know you a whole lot better.
