:51:20
'Cause he trusts me.
I mean, that's why he gave it to me.
:51:24
And he's given me absolutely everything.
:51:27
And he wants so badly
to be taken seriously...
:51:32
to be held in some esteem.
:51:34
Do you?
:51:35
Do I what?
:51:37
Do you hold him in esteem, Truman?
:51:41
Well...
:51:45
he's a gold mine.
:51:48
And he's told me his entire life.
:51:52
His dead mother.
:51:55
He had a brother and a sister
kill themselves.
:51:57
Awful.
:52:00
Did you tell him
your mama did the same thing?
:52:02
See, I can't tell him everything.
:52:03
We've been talking our heads off
for the past month.
:52:06
And sometimes...
:52:10
when I think how good my book can be,
I can hardly breathe.
:52:19
Anyway, this is what
I wanted to read to you.
:52:23
"If called upon to make a speech"...
:52:25
"If called upon to make a speech"?
:52:27
I mean, this is exactly
what I'm talking about.
:52:31
A speech, just in case
he's ever recognized for an achievement.
:52:35
"I can't remember what I was going to say
for the life of me.
:52:39
"I don't think ever before have so many
people been so directly responsible...
:52:43
"for my being so very, very glad.
:52:45
"It's a wonderful moment and a rare one.
:52:49
"Thank you!"
:52:51
There's an exclamation point
at the end of that "thank you"...
:52:53
in case you didn't catch it.
:52:58
Where'd you go?
