OK, another...
Charles Eppker.

:01:49
Charles... Charles
is a large fellow.

:01:52
Played football.
:01:53
People called him
''Chunky.''

:01:55
That's right.
:01:56
He still plays--
:01:57
back-up center
in the Canadian league.

:02:00
All this remember-when,
where-are-they-now shit.

:02:03
That was college.
:02:05
Can we please talk
about something else?

:02:07
You know what?
I had a thought.

:02:08
Shit. No.
:02:10
Yes. Last night I was
reading The History

:02:11
of Twentieth Century
America in your honor.

:02:14
Whose, Manchester's?
:02:15
No. Big thick text
by...

:02:16
Schlessinger.
Halberston.

:02:17
I'm not going to
remember.

:02:18
Well, authors' names
don't really matter

:02:19
in your trade, anyway,
do they?

:02:21
I work in the English
department.

:02:22
We deal in fiction.
:02:24
I can tell the little
shits any name I like.

:02:25
Your thought?
:02:26
Oh, yes. Right.
I was reading 1 960s

:02:28
sexual revolution free
love wife-swapping--

:02:31
sort of like
an after-dinner,

:02:33
free-spirit parlor game.
:02:35
The husbands used to
throw their key chains

:02:38
onto the table,
mix them up,

:02:40
then the wives would all
pick them up blindly.

:02:43
Buddies fucking
each other's wives,

:02:47
et cetera, et cetera.
:02:48
Now think when
our parents were born.

:02:50
OK, now, think
when we were born.

:02:52
We could be the offspring
of a key chain adultery.

:02:56
You get it? We may not
be our fathers' sons.

:02:59
Oh, it gives me hope,
anyway.
