- Are your parents divorced?
- Yes. How did you know?

:13:31
- Just a guess. Was it a mess?
- I don't even remember it. I was a baby.

:13:35
My father lives in Florida, but I see him
when he comes to New York.

:13:39
- You don't seem bothered.
- I don't think about it much.

:13:42
- I'm used to living with Mom and Boothy.
- Boothy?

:13:44
She's an old friend who lives with us.
She's swell.

:13:48
Is Emma your mother?
:13:50
No. She and her husband Charles
take care of me. She's sweet.

:13:53
- Very.
- The school found them.

:13:55
- Are yours divorced?
- No, but they travel all the time.

:13:58
Europe and places like that.
:14:00
Dad's business is
international trade or something.

:14:04
Where's your home?
I mean, your real home?

:14:08
I'm not sure exactly.
We've got a place in Arizona.

:14:11
I've never really seen it.
It's for winter and I go to school then.

:14:15
They've got an apartment in Paris. Used
to, anyway. They stay in a hotel here.

:14:20
You miss them very much?
:14:23
I used to, but I guess I'm like you now.
:14:26
The only time I really miss my dad is
six in the evening when it's getting dark

:14:31
and we're gonna sit down for dinner,
just the three of us - Mom, Boothy and me.

:14:35
- You know Lillian Kafritz?
- Stringy-haired girl?

:14:37
- I can't stand her.
- Why does she put that guck in her hair?

:14:41
Isn't it awful? I was having dinner
at her house one night

:14:44
and about six o'clock
her father came home from the office.

:14:47
He bought Mrs Kafritz
a bushel of roasted chestnuts

:14:50
and a couple of crummy little bunches
of violets for Lillian and me.

:14:54
How corny can you get?
:14:57
- You think your dad'll ever come back?
- How can he?
