That leaves us only with the question
of Gawain retrieving his job,

:39:08
- Coach, l,,,
- Yes, Lump?

:39:10
Couldn't we just bribe the guy?
:39:29
You are a readin' fool,
aren't you, Mr, Dorr?

:39:35
Yes, l must confess,
:39:38
l often find myself more at home
in these ancient volumes

:39:41
than l do in the hustle-bustle
of the modern world,

:39:46
To me, paradoxically, the literature
of the so-called ''dead tongues''

:39:52
holds more currency
than this morning's newspaper,

:39:56
ln these books, in these volumes,
:40:00
there is the accumulated wisdom
of mankind, which succors me

:40:05
when the day is hard
and the night lonely and long,

:40:12
Mm, The wisdom of mankind, huh?
:40:16
- What about the wisdom of the Lord?
- Oh,,,

:40:19
Yes, yes, The Good Book, mm,
l have found reward in its pages,

:40:25
But, to me, there are other
good books as well,

:40:33
Heavy volumes of antiquity freighted
with the insights of man's glorious age,

:40:41
And then, of course, l just love, love, love
the works of Mr, Edgar Allan Poe,

:40:50
Oh, l know who he was,
Kinda spooky,

:40:53
No, madam, no, no,
:40:56
Not of this world, it's true,
:40:59
He,,, he lived in a dream,
An ancient dream,
