:32:04
College, yeah.
:32:06
We had a couple of Lit classes together.
:32:09
What happened to you?
You disappeared after two semesters.
:32:13
Yeah, I know.
:32:16
I got good grades and all,
but there was that required Math class...
:32:20
hanging over my head.
:32:22
Eventually, the pressure
got to be too much, so...
:32:26
You're doing okay, anyway.
:32:28
I heard all about
your jazz reviews and your comics.
:32:32
- You did?
- Sure, you're famous.
:32:36
Meanwhile, I got my degree
and I'm just a plain old wife and mother.
:32:48
I'm not doing as great as you think.
:32:51
My second wife divorced me,
I work a dead end job...
:32:55
as a file clerk.
:32:58
Sometimes I hang out
with the guys on the corner...
:33:00
but most of the time
I just stay at home by myself and I read.
:33:05
You're luckier than you think.
:33:07
Between my husband and my kids...
:33:09
it's impossible for me
to curl up with a good book.
:33:17
I'm reading this book by Dreiser now.
:33:21
- Jennie Gerhardt.
- That's one of my favorites.
:33:24
Yeah?
:33:26
I hope that book don't end like
so many of those naturalist novels...
:33:30
with someone getting crushed to earth...
:33:33
by forces he can't control.
:33:35
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
:33:37
I mean, it's certainly
not your Hollywood happy ending...
:33:40
but it's pretty truthful,
which is rare these days.
:33:46
- This is me.
- All right.
:33:53
- Nice car.
- Thanks.
:33:56
- I don't have one yet.
- Can I give you a lift somewhere?
