:51:01
Okay. So that's your loss.
:51:03
But, God, people can be rude.
:51:05
I feel like I have to talk
:51:07
to a normal person like you
:51:09
just to restore a little of my...
:51:11
It's my pleasure.
:51:13
I could use a little lift myself.
:51:15
A little lift? Yeah.
:51:17
Good thing they bottle it, huh, pal?
:51:21
Did I say rude?
:51:22
People can be goddamn cruel,
:51:25
especially some of these housewives.
:51:27
Okay.
:51:28
So I have a weight problem.
:51:31
That's my cross to bear.
:51:32
I don't know.
:51:34
It's a defense mechanism.
:51:35
Defense against what, insurance?
:51:37
Something they need?
:51:38
Something they should be
grateful to me for offering?
:51:41
A little peace of mind.
:51:46
Finally decided
to knock off early.
:51:48
Went to see a doctor about this.
:51:51
He told me I had an ear infection.
:51:53
$10, please.
:51:55
I says, "Hell, I told you
my ear was infected.
:51:58
Why don't you give me $10?"
:52:00
Well, that led to an argument.
:52:07
Listen to me bellyaching,
:52:09
as if my problems amounted
to a hill of beans.
:52:12
How goes the life of the mind?
:52:15
Well, it's been better.
:52:17
I can't seem to get going
on this thing.
:52:20
That one idea,
:52:22
the one that lets you get started,
:52:24
I still haven't gotten it.
:52:25
Maybe I only had one idea in me--
:52:28
my play.
:52:29
Maybe once that was done,
:52:30
I was done being a writer.
:52:32
Christ, I feel like a fraud,
:52:35
sitting here staring at this paper.
:52:37
Those two lovebirds next door
driving you nuts?
:52:44
How do you know about that?
:52:46
Know about it?
:52:47
I can practically see
how they're doing it.
:52:49
Brother, I wish I had
a piece of that.
:52:52
Seems like I hear everything
:52:54
that goes on in this dump--
:52:56
the pipes or something.
:52:57
Yeah, but--
:52:59
You'll lick this picture business.
