:35:00
- Don't give anything away till I see you.
- Huh?
:35:03
Seems I am on the market
for a whole human being after all.
:35:07
Your whole human being,
with ulcers, no appendix and all.
:35:12
Ooh, it must be some bridge,
that Queensboro!
:35:15
Yeah, the view was great.
:35:17
That birthday candle you lit under me
cast a light all the way to Omaha.
:35:21
- Omaha, Nevada.
- Where you got smothered with charity?
:35:25
Swallowed up till I didn't have a friend
or an ashtray to call my own.
:35:30
No matter how lovingly it's done,
:35:32
it still isn't calculated
to make a man feel...
:35:35
well, manly, let's say.
:35:39
Jerry, just so I'll understand all this, talk
down to me a little bit. Like A, B, C, OK?
:35:47
OK. I met Tess in my last year in college.
:35:50
Her father Lucius,
the blowhard of all time,
:35:53
was so rich that he didn't care
that I wasn't. Clear?
:35:57
- Yeah, yeah, go on.
- OK.
:36:01
Between them, they took me over.
:36:03
A law scholarship was wangled for me,
I was accepted into the family law firm.
:36:08
Lucius even built the house
Tess and I lived in.
:36:12
A very grand house. A very plush kennel
for an unpedigree pup.
:36:16
And there you are.
:36:19
What'd you see when you looked
back with the candle?
:36:22
That I had asked for it.
:36:24
It wasn't done to me. I could have hollered
stop or walked out, but I didn't.
:36:29
Half of my life's been a handout
I asked for.
:36:32
Seeing that, I finally walked out
on one tonight. From you.
:36:36
It just wasn't a good enough
beginning for us.
:36:41
You know something, Jerry? A person
could get pretty confused talking to you.
:36:46
Have breakfast with me
and I'll try and unconfuse you?
:36:49
Sure. I'm having a tooth pulled at nine
so make it after.
:36:52
I'll probably be spitting
a lot of blood, so...
:36:56
I mean... we won't be able to do anything.
