:25:03
Chord from the orchestra,
amber spot, and I'm on.

:25:07
Make my spiel. Good for one laugh.
Plenty of mystery.

:25:11
Just a minute there.
:25:14
Go right into my reading.
:25:17
Here's my crystal.
:25:23
Throughout the ages man has sought
to look behind the veil...

:25:27
that hides him from tomorrow...
:25:30
and through the ages certain men
have looked into the polished crystal...

:25:35
and seen.
:25:37
Is it some quality
of the crystal itself...

:25:40
or does the gazer merely use it
to turn his gaze inward?

:25:44
Who knows?
But visions come.

:25:46
Slowly shifting their form,
visions come.

:25:51
Wait!
The shifting shapes begin to clear.

:25:56
I see fields of grass
and rolling hills...

:26:01
and a boy.
:26:03
A boy is running barefoot
through the hills.

:26:08
A dog is with him.
:26:12
A dog is with him.
:26:15
Yes.
His name was Gyp.

:26:19
Go on.
:26:21
See how easy it is to hook 'em?
:26:27
Stock reading. Fits everybody.
:26:30
What's youth?
Happy one minute, heartbroken the next.

:26:34
Every boy has a dog.
:26:41
Now, now, now.
Steady.

:26:44
I'm just an old drunk.
Just an old lush.

:26:48
Zeena will be mad.
Good old Zeena.

:26:52
- Well, gotta go now. Zeena will be waiting.
- Okay, give me the bottle.

:26:56
- Why?
- She'll only take it away from you.

:26:58
Oh, I'll finish it first.
