:38:10
- Did you really bite a dog?
- Just in the knee.
:38:14
As day ends, I wish those of you
finishing up work now,
:38:18
and those of you
who will have punched out early,
:38:21
a happy Thanksgiving tomorrow
and a weekend of reflection
:38:25
on how much we have
to be thankful for.
:38:37
You know I'm nuts?
:38:40
I'm alright till I start
thinking about these people.
:38:43
Depending on me for their cheques,
:38:46
hoping I don't deliver them
a bill from the IRS,
:38:49
or a kiss-off from a girlfriend,
or a jury-duty notice.
:38:53
Dooly, you're not nuts.
:38:56
You know why?
I don't care, that's why.
:38:59
I used to care. I start to care
a little, though, and I can't stop.
:39:03
It's like with those addresses.
:39:05
Or with catalogues. You ever tried
to deliver all them catalogues
:39:10
in them tiny mail slots they got
in them apartment mail boxes?
:39:13
You gotta fold 'em,
put 'em in there nice for people.
:39:17
For some people,
that's the only mail they ever get.
:39:20
Nobody ever said thank you, though.
:39:24
Boy, you bite one dog
and they don't let you up.
:39:30
"Here comes Dooly. Woof, woof."
:39:33
You just can't care, that's all.
:39:35
I care about myself.
Everything else is just an act.
:39:40
You come to the right place.
:39:43
You know something?
:39:44
Sometimes, I go for months
and I don't look in a mirror,
:39:48
and then I glance in one
and I don't even recognise myself.
:39:54
When I had my route, I'd used to
look in this mirror every morning,
:39:58
straighten my uniform,
make sure I was sharp.
