Father Zabriskie. Hello.
What are you doing here?
:27:14
It's a mall. I'm Christmas shopping.
:27:18
Of course you are.
:27:20
Are you okay?
:27:22
Yes. Sort of.
:27:24
You're bleeding.
:27:26
Yes, it's just a scratch.
Could I get another towel, please?
:27:30
I'm looking for a BAND-AID.
Jeez, lady, make up your mind.
:27:39
Nora, I hear it from a good source
that you and Luther...
:27:44
have decided not to observe Christmas
this year.
:27:50
Yeah, sort of.
:27:52
Father Zabriskie, Luther and I are fine.
:27:55
Everything is fine,
and everything is completely normal.
:27:59
Attendant said you were bleeding.
Are you all right?

in The Gazette Street Decoration Contest...
