:39:01
I'd invite you to my place,
:39:03
but it's a goddamn mess.
:39:05
You married, Bart?
:39:07
No.
:39:09
I myself have yet
to be lassoed.
:39:11
Hey, Bart.
:39:13
Ouch.
:39:21
Got a sweetheart?
:39:23
No.
:39:26
I guess it's something
about my work.
:39:28
I get so worked up over it.
:39:30
I don't have much attention left over,
:39:33
so it would be a little... unfair.
:39:36
Yeah. Ladies do ask for attention.
:39:38
In my experience,
they pretend to give it,
:39:41
but it's generally a smoke screen
:39:42
for demanding it back with interest.
:39:44
How about family, Bart?
:39:46
How you fixed in that department?
:39:48
My folks live in Brooklyn
with my uncle.
:39:50
Mine have passed on.
:39:53
It's just us three now.
:39:54
What's that expression?
:39:56
Me, myself, and I.
:39:58
Sure.
:39:59
That's tough.
:40:01
But in a sense,
:40:03
we're all alone in the world,
aren't we, Charlie?
:40:06
I'm often surrounded
by family and friends,
:40:09
but...
:40:11
[ Deep Sigh ]
:40:14
You're no stranger
to loneliness, then.
:40:17
I guess I got no beef,
:40:19
especially where the dames
are concerned.
:40:21
In my line of work,
I got opportunities galore.
:40:24
I could tell you stories
to curl your hair,
:40:27
but it looks like you've
already heard them.
:40:29
That's me in Kansas City
plying my trade.
:40:32
That was taken by
one of my policyholders.
:40:35
They're more than just customers
to me, Barton.
:40:37
They appreciate
what I have to offer.
:40:39
Her hubby was out of town,
:40:41
and they were carrying
fire and life.
:40:44
The third quarter payment
was way past due.
:40:46
In a way, I envy you--
:40:48
your daily routine,
you know what's expected.
:40:51
You know the drill.
:40:54
My job is to plumb the depths,
:40:57
so to speak.
:40:58
Dredge up something from inside,
