:20:00
It's a funny thing.
:20:02
Back in the world...I don't know...
:20:07
...it seems kind of light.
:20:11
We had an agreement.
:20:17
I've been going over this
in my mind and...
:20:20
If you could follow my thinking...
:20:23
We're all born into life,
:20:25
we have a certain number of years
to breathe and have our being.
:20:32
That's from a book on Oriental
philosophy I read in the joint.
:20:36
Maybe somebody, somewhere,
knows how much time we have.
:20:41
I don't. Do you?
:20:44
So, when a man gives up a portion
of his life, 18 months for instance,
:20:50
how does he place a value on that time?
:20:53
18 months...90,000...
:20:57
What's that? 5,000 a month?
:21:00
Not bad if you live another 50 years,
but what if you've only another 20?
:21:05
Or ten?
:21:07
Or some unforeseen event
kills you tomorrow?
:21:10
Like the boating accident
that killed your late husband, Andrew.
:21:19
Or say you just got out of prison,
:21:22
where you went in
for vehicular manslaughter,
:21:28
as part of an agreement to avoid
being implicated in a greater crime,
:21:33
murder,
:21:35
for which, in fact,
you were responsible.
:21:38
But nowthere's this threat,
this possible threat,
:21:41
that this fact could be discovered.
:21:45
And in one stroke,
10, 15 or 20 more years of your life
:21:48
could be cut right out
from underneath you.
:21:51
So I've been asking myself,
:21:54
what does that do to the market
value of 18 months?
