:47:02
How long was it we had, honey?
:47:05
-I didn't count the days.
-Well, I did.
:47:07
Every one of them.
:47:09
Mostly, I remember the last one.
:47:12
The "wow" finish. A guy standing
on a platform in the rain. . .
:47:16
. . .with a comical look on his face
from his insides having been kicked out.
:47:21
Can I tell you a story, Rick?
:47:24
Has it got a "wow" finish?
:47:26
I don't know the finish yet.
:47:28
Go on, tell it. Maybe one will
come to you as you go along.
:47:34
It's about a girl who'd just come
to Paris from her home in Oslo.
:47:38
At the house of some friends. . .
:47:40
. . .she met a man about whom
she'd heard her whole life.
:47:43
A very great and courageous man.
:47:46
He opened up for her a beautiful world
full of knowledge, thoughts and ideals.
:47:51
Everything she knew or ever became
was because of him.
:47:55
She looked up to him
and worshiped him. . .
:47:59
. . .with a feeling she supposed was love.
:48:02
Yes, that's very pretty.
:48:04
I heard a story once.
I've heard a lot of stories in my time.
:48:07
They went along with
the sound of a tinny piano. . .
:48:10
. . .playing in the parlor downstairs.
:48:13
"Mister, I met a man once when
I was a kid," they'd always begin.
:48:20
I guess neither one of our stories
is very funny.
:48:24
Tell me. . .
:48:26
. . .who was it you left me for?
:48:28
Was it Laszlo, or were there
others in between. . .
:48:31
. . .or aren't you the kind that tells?
:48:58
I suspect Ugarte left
the letters of transit with Mr. Blaine.
