I'm sorry we had to take the stairs.
It was just that horrible elevator boy!

:35:06
I can't say how much I appreciate
your listening to my story.

:35:09
I'm lucky to find someone in this bustling
city with a stout heart and a ready ear.

:35:14
There I was, travelling
through this great country.

:35:16
Some I met were kind to me,
others exceedingly cruel.

:35:19
Traveling by motor bus, rail,
even by thumb....

:35:21
The couch, please.
:35:23
Hoarding every dollar, counting
every nickel, pinching every penny.

:35:26
It's been a long road leading
to the coffee shop downstairs.

:35:29
Not that I'd trade a day, an hour,
a moment of it for anything.

:35:33
I don't know what came over me.
:35:34
I guess it was the shock of eating
after so long...

:35:37
...without the enzymes kicking in
after so long....

:35:43
Then you couldn't possibly know
what it is to be tired and hungry.

:35:47
Hungry, anyway.
:35:48
I don't want to bore you with details
of my life. It's not happy.

:35:51
Suffice to say I'm jobless,
but not for want of trying.

:35:54
I'm friendless, with no one to take care
of me and had you not come along...

:35:58
- ...exactly when you did....
- I, myself--

:36:00
I arrived in town not ten days ago...
:36:03
...full of dreams, anxious to make my way
in the world...

:36:06
...a little naive perhaps,
but armed with determination...

:36:09
...a solid work ethic,
and an indomitable belief in the future...

:36:11
- I, myself--
- ...only to have that belief...

:36:13
...that unsullied optimism, dashed against
the marble of the workplace.

:36:17
Such is life. Seek and ye shall find.
Work and ye shall prosper.

:36:20
- Cigarette?
- No, thank you.

:36:22
Seek and ye shall find,
work and ye shall prosper.

:36:24
These were the watchwords,
the ethos of my education...

:36:27
...the values instilled in me...
:36:28
...while I was growing up in a town
you've probably never heard of.

:36:32
- Mind if I join you?
- Be my guest.

:36:34
A town you've probably never heard of...
:36:36
...a dusty crossroads of which
you've probably never heard.

:36:40
Excuse me. Executive washroom.
:36:46
Are you all right?
:36:50
Is it your lunch? The chicken a la king?
:36:55
Is the a la king repeating on you?
:36:57
No, I'm fine. You were saying?
