:07:01
- Hi, honeybunch, come join the party.
- Half a minute.

:07:05
Stu, l didn't realize how much
l missed that ugly old mug of yours.

:07:10
Get out of those clothes
and we'll have one quick swim.

:07:13
- l'm not up to it. l'm feeling my age.
- You're a year younger than l am.

:07:19
Yeah, you were always
pulling seniority on me at camp.

:07:24
Remember how we'd take off
our suits and swim for miles?

:07:28
- We just never got tired.
- Yeah.

:07:31
We had nice,
new, pink lungs in those days.

:07:34
And the water up there, remember?
That transparent light-green water.

:07:39
lt felt different. A beautiful feeling.
We could've swum around the world.

:07:45
That was before we ever touched
a drink or a cigarette.

:07:48
- Or a girl!
- Or a girl.

:07:50
That doesn't sap a man's strength.
:07:53
- Or l'd be in a wheelchair today.
- Ned Merrill!

:07:56
- Peggy.
- Ned Merrill, still bragging.

:08:00
l've heard those old schoolboy stories.
You all made them up.

:08:03
So you figured that one out,
have you? Let me look at you.

:08:08
Let's settle this nonsense
about taking a plane.

:08:11
- Settle it with him. l like it here.
- Lucinda'll be disappointed as hell.

:08:16
l don't think that's exactly true.
:08:18
l could run you to our house.
To say hello.

:08:21
- Don, how about using your car?
- Well, sure, but...

:08:25
They haven't time. We promised to
stop at the Grahams' for a quick drink.

:08:30
- Will you come?
- Of course he will.

:08:33
- You haven't seen their pool, have you?
- Whose?

:08:35
- The Grahams.
- The Grahams put in a pool?

:08:38
Oh, yeah. They nurse it like a baby.
:08:42
- When did they put in a pool?
- June.

:08:46
- June?
- Did you get the suits off the line?

:08:49
l forgot about them.
:08:51
lf they're damp, l have
some plastic bags.

:08:54
Do the Biswangers have a pool?
:08:56
- Biswangers?
- Those awful people on Red Coat Road.
