A silent partner.
:55:04
- So?
- So shut up!

:55:06
You know what your problem is, Harry?
:55:08
You're not just rude, you're...
:55:10
...flagrant about it.
:55:23
You've been reading de Tocqueville.
:55:25
Well, yeah!
After we talked on your show,

:55:28
I figured it was pretty bad that
I hadn't read such an important book.

:55:31
So I read it.
:55:34
What was your favourite part?
:55:37
Well, I'm not sure it's a book
where you can have a favourite part.

:55:41
Yes, you can. I did.
:55:43
I liked when he said,
:55:44
"What is not yet done is only what
we have not yet attempted to do."

:55:49
It made me feel good.
:55:51
So, what part did you like?
:55:55
- May I be honest?
- Yeah.

:55:58
I haven't read it.
:56:03
But you said it was the one book
on democracy worth reading.

:56:06
That's what everybody says.
:56:08
That's all anybody knows
about de Tocqueville. Except you.

:56:13
Well, it's not so bad
once you stop falling asleep.

:56:18
Hi! I couldn't wait
to see how it went.

:56:22
So, she's stupid.
:56:24
Well, all I mean is,
I didn't feel stupid myself.

:56:27
She hadn't never read the book.
:56:29
- You're kidding!
- No.

:56:31
People always pretend
to be smarter than they are.

:56:34
I don't.
:56:36
I know, Billie.
You're an honest one.

:56:39
When I just said, "She hadn't
never read it," that wasn't right.

:56:43
It was a double negative but...
:56:45
Come on! You told me you'd tell me
when I made a mistake.

:56:48
A person who reads de Tocqueville should
know not to do no double negatives.

:56:51
Yes, ma'am!
:56:58
Smells good in here, doesn't it?
