:24:00
I never saw her in the daytime.
We seemed to live by night.
:24:04
What was left of the day went away
like a pack of cigarettes you smoked.
:24:07
I didn't know where she lived.
I never followed her.
:24:10
All I ever had to go on
was a place and time to see her again.
:24:14
I don't know what we were waiting for.
Maybe we thought the world would end.
:24:17
Maybe we thought it was a dream...
:24:19
... and we'd wake up
with a hangover in Niagara Falls.
:24:21
I wired Whit, but I didn't tell him.
:24:24
"I'm in Acapulco," I said,
"I wish you were here."
:24:27
And every night I went to meet her.
:24:30
How did I know she'd ever
show up? I didn't.
:24:33
What stopped her from taking
a boat to Chile or Guatemala? Nothing.
:24:37
How big a chump can you get to be?
I was finding out.
:24:43
And then she'd come along
like school was out...
:24:46
... and everything else was just
a stone you sailed at the sea.
:24:50
- I didn't know you were so little.
- I'm taller than Napoleon.
:24:53
You're prettier too.
:24:57
- Did you miss me?
- No more than I would my eyes.
:25:00
- Where should we go tonight?
- Let's go to my place.
:25:09
It was the first time she had
mentioned her place or going there.
:25:12
Maybe she'd decided something, or it
was because the sky looked full of rain.
:25:30
It was a nice little joint with bamboo
furniture and Mexican gimcracks.
:25:35
One little lamp burned. It was all right.
:25:37
And the rain hammering like that
on the window made it good to be in there.
:25:41
Here.
:25:45
Hey, hey, not so hard.
:25:52
- Now yours.
- No, Joe, it's all right.
:25:54
- Oh, come on.
- No, not so hard, Jeff. My earring.
:25:56
Hush! I'm trying to dry your hair.
