he says to me the other day,
he says,

:46:06
"pop-pop, when i grow up,
:46:09
i wanna be a bookie and run
a numbers racketjust like you."

:46:12
ohhh.
:46:15
i know. i melted.
:46:17
andthen he asks me,
hesays, "pop-pop,

:46:21
when people play the numbers,
:46:23
what number do they tr to win?"
:46:26
so i explain to him.
:46:28
i say, "sweetie,
ever week we bookies,

:46:31
we get the number from someplace
customers know we can't control."

:46:35
- and he says, "like sesamestreet?"
- lovely that, isn't it?

:46:39
it's amazing what these kids
come up with, isn't it?

:46:42
it's amazing. and i say,
"no, no, no, no, not sesamestreet.

:46:44
we get the number from
the lotter drawing on television,

:46:46
the last three digits
ofthe real lotto,

:46:48
because everone knows
no one can rig the state lotter,

:46:54
which means no one
can rig a bookie's number."

:46:59
- that's right.
- and he looks at me.
