:04:00
I had this fantasy that love stories
always happened at the beach.

:04:04
But hitchhiking was a bad idea.
:04:07
It's not surprising, though.
:04:09
My ideas are almost always bad.
:04:13
It's classic.
:04:14
I get carried away, I don't think.
:04:19
If I hadn't got picked up,
:04:21
I might've jumped in front of a truck.
:04:24
Who picked you up?
:04:27
I can't name him since he's married.
:04:29
A psychologist.
:04:31
He diagnosed I was depressed
:04:34
and bent over backward to cure me.
:04:36
So far backward,
I thought I was half pregnant.

:04:39
Luckily, it was only appendicitis.
:04:42
If you can call it lucky.
:04:45
The anesthesiologist wasn't
my lucky break.

:04:49
You had trouble
with the anesthesiologist?

:04:51
No, he was nice.
:04:53
He seemed so much in love,
I'd have followed him to China.

:04:58
We got as far as Limoges.
:05:00
Funny, isn't it,
:05:03
how people can seem madly in love
when they're not?

:05:06
It must be easy to fake.
:05:11
He said I went to his head
like Cointreau.

:05:14
I guess he got tired of Cointreau,
so he went to make a phone call.

:05:18
Phone who?
:05:19
I never found out. He never came back.
:05:22
The restaurant had a back door,
which I didn't know,

:05:26
so I waited for him till closing time.
:05:31
The manager lived upstairs.
:05:33
His room smelled greasy.
:05:35
But he had soft, gentle hands.
:05:38
Hands are tricky.
They can make you believe anything.

:05:42
That's how I got my first job,
:05:44
as a hostess at his place.
:05:47
What does a hostess do?
:05:50
At first, she welcomes people
:05:54
and smiles at everyone.
:05:56
As far as jobs go, it's a no-brainer
:05:58
but you know
how smiles give people ideas
