:38:20
Well, here's to Boompa.
:38:24
That was some family reunion.
:38:27
Some family, as a matter of fact.
:38:29
One kid going blind,
watching actors shoot each other.

:38:32
Another resigning
from the human race...

:38:34
'cause she's got a little chicken wire
in her mouth.

:38:37
A married one squaring off at her husband,
raising infant delinquents.

:38:40
And what do you hear
from Janie and Professor Egghead?

:38:43
Oh, now, Rog, let's not overdo it.
:38:45
Do you know what the truth of this is?
It just occurred to me.

:38:48
- I don't know those people.
- Well, now, listen—

:38:50
No, I mean it! I mean it.
:38:52
I used to know a pretty little girl
named Susie...

:38:55
and another freckle-faced
little monkey named Janie.

:38:58
- You remember?
- Oh, Rog, I wish you wouldn't talk like that.

:39:01
Well, they were two little honeys,
weren't they?

:39:04
- Well, they're not dead, darling.
- Not technically, no.

:39:07
- I know.
- Just "bye-bye, kids."

:39:09
Oh, now, Rog, really,
you're just being maudlin.

:39:11
And as for those
two fellas down there—

:39:13
I'm scared to death I'll run into them someday
on the street without their wives...

:39:17
and won't even recognize them!
:39:19
Stan's the one who needs the haircut.
:39:21
Do you realize that I've seen
Mr. Stanley Carver...

:39:25
exactly three times
in my whole life before today?

:39:28
The next time I saw him after meeting him
for five minutes in Cleveland was at the altar.

:39:33
"The dark one on the left,"
somebody said.

:39:35
And I gave my own flesh-and-blood daughter
to this complete stranger.

:39:39
"The dark one on the left."
:39:41
That's what we call "marriage," Rog.
:39:43
I'll bet I know 150 guys better than that,
including my barber.

:39:47
Netta Nickerson's never
even seen her son-in-law.

:39:50
Julie married him in Las Vegas
at the Wee Kirk of the Cactus.

:39:53
It doesn't make any difference. I can't ever
think of anything to say to him anyway.

:39:57
Now you're just being absurd.
:39:59
No. Once we've found out how each other's
getting along, we're both dead.
