...of 1 9th-century Dutch mirrors
on the planet.
:27:03
Perhaps you read about us.
Mirror World, October '88?
:27:06
l got a copy here somewhere.
:27:10
l guess l'd just like to know
how you can detach from something...
:27:13
...that you've invested
so much of your soul in.
:27:16
l mean, didn't you ever miss turtles?
:27:20
The only thing that made
your 1 0-year-old life worth living?
:27:25
Look, l'll tell you a story, all right?
:27:28
l once fell deeply, you know,
profoundly in love with tropical fish.
:27:34
l had 60 goddamn fish-tanks
in my house.
:27:36
l'd skin-dive to find just the right ones.
:27:39
Anisotremus virginicus, Holacanthus
ciliaris, Chaetodon capistratus.
:27:44
You name it.
:27:46
Then one day l say, '' Fuck fish.''
:27:49
l renounce fish. l vow never
to set foot in that ocean again.
:27:54
That's how much ''fuck fish.''
:27:57
That was 1 7 years ago, and l have
never since stuck a toe in that ocean.
:28:02
And l love the ocean.
:28:05
But why?
:28:09
Done with fish.
:28:12
If you'd really loved something,
wouldn't a little bit of it linger?
:28:16
Evidently Laroche's finishes
were downright and absolute.
:28:19
He just moved on.
:28:21
I sometimes wished
I could do the same.
:28:30
Good afternoon.
So, what looks good today?
:28:33
The key lime pie, please.
:28:35
A small slice.
:28:36
And a coffee, please.
Skim milk, please.
:28:40
Orchids. l love orchids.
:28:43
Cool. That's....
:28:49
Well, l'll be right back with your pie.
