:28:03
- By thumb?
- Yeah, I'm a hitchhiker.
:28:05
Oh, I see.
:28:06
I've always thought that was the
best way to learn about this country,
:28:10
and the surest
test of the American heart.
:28:12
Yes, I guess it is.
:28:14
Will you go to the fire
and dry your clothes?
:28:16
Thanks.
:28:17
They'd dry more quickly if you hung
them up and put on something of mine.
:28:21
Oh, no, thanks! This is fine.
:28:23
We could do with another log
on the fire. Would you?
:28:28
Why, sure.
:28:29
You must stay until this blows over.
:28:32
lt won't detain you long.
These autumn storms are short.
:28:36
They yield to none in wetness,
but they are short.
:28:39
- Yes, I -
- (Log Bangs)
:28:41
I'm sorry, I should have warned you.
Those logs are heavier than you'd think.
:28:46
l drop them constantly.
:28:51
Yes, they are heavy.
:28:53
I guess I was too smart
trying to pick it up with one hand.
:28:55
Good job it didn't land on your foot.
That often happens to me.
:28:59
You're lucky.
:29:02
Yeah. I'm lucky.
:29:04
Oh, I was forgetting.
My name is Philip Martin.
:29:07
Oh, I'm Barry K - Mason.
:29:10
I'm glad you found yourself near here,
Mr Mason, when the storm came.
:29:14
It's a pleasant thing to have a guest
sharing the fire when it's raining.
:29:18
- You live here alone, sir?
- Yes.
:29:20
Except I don't think of it in that way.
:29:23
You see, sounds are my lights
and my colours.
:29:27
My music, for example.
I compose a little.
:29:31
And there is nobody to tell me that
the results are anything but brilliant,
:29:35
so I live in a comfortable glow
of self-appreciation.
:29:39
I prefer playing the
works of other composers.
:29:43
Undoubtedly,
you'd prefer listening to them.
:29:46
I used to play the triangle
in our high school band.
:29:50
Oh, that's too bad.
:29:51
It's unfortunate when you get
out of practice on the triangle.
:29:56
The piano is a boon to me.
:29:58
The piano can't know that you're blind,
