1:44:11
[Falk.] l never knew
lf Dobel's story was true
1:44:13
orjust a plece of flctlon
he used to get me to go alone.
1:44:16
l never saw or heard from hlm agaln.
1:44:20
For all l know, he's lce flshlng
somewhere ln the Yukon.
1:44:24
l thought a lot about that strange,
sad, lmprobable character
1:44:29
and remembered very fondly
our afternoons ln Central Park.
1:44:32
[Dobel:] ln life, they'll be no shortage
of people who'll tell you how to live.
1:44:37
They'll have all the answers...
what you should do and not do.
1:44:41
Don't argue with them.
Say, ''Yes, that's a brilliant idea,''
1:44:45
and do what you want.
1:44:47
Whenever you write,
strive for originality,
1:44:50
but if you have to steal,
steal from the best.
1:44:53
And if you take very good care
of your styptic pencil
1:44:57
and dry it after every shave,
1:44:59
it'll last longer than most
relationships you're in.
1:45:02
[Falk.] The semlnal joke about Dobel
ls the old one-llner.
1:45:06
That even a clock that's broken
ls rlght twlce a day.
1:45:10
Dobel had a real sense of lrony
and would have appreclated
1:45:14
that l got one last,
to use hls word,
1:45:17
adventltlous gllmpse of Amanda
as l was leavlng for JFK.
1:45:39
The doctor!
1:45:42
l knew that doctor was hot for her.
1:45:45
[cab driver:] What'd you say?
1:45:47
l was just saying how strange life is,
1:45:51
how full of inexplicable mystery.
1:45:54
[driver:] Well, you know,
it's like anything else.
