Then l'd go into your bathroom and
smell your shaving lotion. One time...

:26:07
- This is a terrible thing to admit.
- Tell me.

:26:10
l stole one of your shirts.
:26:12
Then when l was doing my homework
up in my room, l'd put it on.

:26:17
lt made me feel as if
you were all around me.

:26:20
Julie, l didn't know.
:26:23
And when you'd drive me home
at night, l'd pretend like mad.

:26:27
Pretend what?
What was it you used to pretend?

:26:31
l... After all,
l was just a child in those days.

:26:36
l want to know.
:26:39
That you were desperately
in love with me.

:26:45
You were too honorable to say so,
because you were married.

:26:49
So l had to go to Paris.
You know, put an ocean between us.

:26:54
And no matter how many divine
Frenchmen begged me, l'd never marry.

:26:59
l'd just live there, all pale
and mysterious, huge tragic artist.

:27:06
And then one night,
l'd be in some club.

:27:11
A fabulous Paris gown.
l'd see you at the door.

:27:16
Tall, distinguished,
a little grey at the temples.

:27:21
l pretended your eyes would burn
into me across this room.

:27:26
Suddenly, there'd be a hush.
And everyone would look at me.

:27:32
And then l'd just stand up
and float towards you.

:27:40
- And then what?
- That's all.

:27:45
- Julie, l don't know what to say.
- l told you. l was a real spooky kid.
