Anybody who writes me who expects
to become famous should keep carbons.

1:14:05
It just seems to me
that it's a kind of trust.

1:14:08
If someone takes the trouble to write you
a substantial letter, you do not throw it out.

1:14:14
I didn't save your letters,
but I didn't throw them out.

1:14:18
I don't understand.
Is that a riddle?

1:14:21
There was a girl at school
who had some kind of a crush on you.

1:14:25
She came into my room when I was throwing
things out, so I gave her your letters.

1:14:29
Really?
1:14:31
I know it sounds queer.
1:14:34
- She kept them?
- Mmm. I'm sure.

1:14:38
How strange.
She must be really odd.

1:14:40
No, she's very nice.
1:14:43
In fact, you know her.
1:14:46
Audrey Rouget.
1:14:55
You mean, you think
you've gotten over Serena again.

1:14:58
Yes, but it's different this time.
1:15:01
Then I was still intensely involved with her,
though in a negative way. Full of bitterness.

1:15:05
I don't feel that way now.
1:15:07
-( Doorbell Buzzes )
- Charlie's on his way up.

1:15:10
Damn. There's something
I wanted to ask you.

1:15:12
Oh, yeah. What was that surprising thing
Serena told you?

1:15:15
Well, you probably already
knew about it, but I was surprised -
about Audrey saving my letters.

1:15:19
- What letters?
- The ones I wrote Serena.

1:15:22
Audrey saved them?
1:15:26
God, how queer.
1:15:28
Well, it's not so queer really.
1:15:30
Serena was about to throw them out...
1:15:32
and Audrey apparently didn't think
people's letters should be destroyed that way.

1:15:34
The really odd thing was though,
while I was with Serena, who's really
nice and who's so good-looking -

1:15:39
Yeah, Serena's basically a good person.
1:15:41
On the big night
I'd looked forward to for a week...

1:15:44
I started feeling this incredible loneliness
being with Serena...

1:15:47
and nostalgia for all those conversations
with Audrey before the big blowup.

1:15:50
That was before I knew anything
about the letters.

1:15:52
I think I preferred arguing with Audrey
than to agreeing with Serena or someone else.

1:15:57
I'd only had that calmly unemotional
perspective on my relationship
with Serena for a little while...
