:22:01
You should see the character I had
for a fare yesterday.
:22:04
Picked him up at the Ferry Building.
:22:05
Standing on the curb with a big
goldfish bowl in his arm, full of water.
:22:10
Two goldfish.
:22:12
Climbs in the back of the cab, sits down
and puts the goldfish bowl in his lap.
:22:16
Where do you think he wants to go?
To the ocean.
:22:19
Clean from the Ferry Building
to the Pacific Ocean.
:22:23
But he doesn't know
that there's seven hills.
:22:25
Seven steep hills in between.
So we start off.
:22:29
Up the first hill, slippity slop,
down the hill, slippity slop.
:22:33
Water all over the back seat,
the goldfish on the floor.
:22:36
He picks them up,
puts them back in the bowl...
:22:39
up we go again, slippity slop,
water all over the...
:22:42
You never saw such a wet guy in your life
when we got to that ocean.
:22:45
And two tired goldfish.
:22:49
But I like goldfish.
I'm going to get a couple for the room.
:22:52
Dress it up a little bit,
it adds class to the joint.
:22:54
Makes it a little homey.
:22:56
- I thought you said you got lonely.
- That's right.
:23:00
I pick people up and take them places,
but they don't talk to me.
:23:04
I see them get out and go in spots,
have fun...
:23:07
then I pick up another load coming out...
:23:09
and I hear them telling
about all the fun they had.
:23:11
But me, I sit up here all alone,
and it gets lonely.
:23:15
That's tough. You're in a bad way.
:23:17
You said it. Where are we going?
:23:20
If I tell you,
you'll ask me why I'm going there...
:23:23
and what am I going to do there,
and am I gonna have fun.
:23:26
A guy gets lonely
driving a cab, remember?
:23:28
That's right, brother. Lonely. And smart.
:23:32
- Smart in what way?
- About people.
:23:35
Looking at them. Faces.
:23:39
What about faces?
:23:40
It's funny. From faces I can tell
what people think, what they do...
:23:44
sometimes even who they are.
:23:47
You, for instance,
you're a guy with plenty of trouble.
:23:50
- I don't have a trouble in the world.
- Don't tell me, buddy. I know.
:23:54
She gave you plenty of trouble, that dame.
:23:57
So you slugged her.
:23:59
Not now, not here, too many cops around.
