All them famous people...
:19:01
...talking to them.
:19:03
l framed the picture.
:19:05
You and Richard Nixon.
:19:06
He was selling a book.
:19:08

:19:09
Saved all your articles.

l used to read them to Vera...
:19:17
...when she was clear enough to listen.
:19:19
You've done so well for yourself.
:19:22
ls that what you think?
:19:24
How well l've done?
:19:26
Hell, even Miss Vera Kiss-My-Back-Cheeks
Donovan couldn't help but be impressed.
:19:30
The look on her face the day you wrote
that first picture-on-the-cover story....

Just...
:20:49
...let's not pretend we're in some goddamn
Norman Rockwell family reunion here.
:20:53
l'm sorry, Ma, but that's where we are.
