:42:00
l cooked, she was the hostess.
Just us two.
:42:06
We always argued
why people came.
:42:09
She said it was my cooking,
l said it was her.
:42:15
Norma was something...
She sure was the house specialty.
:42:21
With that smile she had...
Brighter than a neon sign.
:42:26
lmagine: people came in
and saw that portrait.
:42:31
Then the real Norma
showed up,
:42:34
happier, full of light.
:42:38
Then they thought they were,
who knows,
:42:42
in Paradise at least.
:42:44
Then she asked them
to follow her,
:42:47
that they'd have the best table,
she told that to everyone:
:42:52
you'll have the best table.
And they bought it.
:42:56
Because if she took you,
it was the best table.
:43:04
She made you feel...
you were unique.
:43:11
Francesco and l
laughed because
:43:15
when she went to the kitchen,
everybody, l mean everybody:
:43:19
women, children, men,
everybody gazed at her
:43:25
dumbstruck.
Were they still on earth?
:43:30
Was she a ghost? They feared
she wouldn't come back.
:43:36
And then,
she surprised them again.
:43:42
She took note of everything
at the register,
:43:47
standing there,
like magic.
:43:56
Like an angel.
