:08:01
For life.
:08:03
He's got three kids.
:08:05
I don't know why I'm telling you all this,
like you were Dear Abby.

:08:09
- Is that that dirty rat Julian?
- He's not a dirty rat.

:08:12
He's a dentist. A fine dentist, Fifth Avenue.
:08:16
With a wife and three kids.
:08:18
That's one of the things
that attracted me to him.

:08:21
- You go for married men?
- I like honesty.

:08:25
All my life people have lied to me
and I can't stand it.

:08:28
Julian at least had the decency to warn me
he had a wife and a family.

:08:31
I was in love with him, so I accepted it.
:08:34
At first I thought it was going to be
a gay, carefree fling.

:08:40
Then came all those nights
when he couldn't make it.

:08:44
And then he called tonight and cancelled.
:08:50
- It was our anniversary.
- Anniversary? Of what?

:08:53
We met one year ago at Stereo Heaven.
That's the record shop where I work.

:08:58
I've been there. I never noticed you.
:09:00
Well, Julian did. And I noticed him.
:09:04
He was charming, good-Iooking,
sophisticated.

:09:08
No sweatshirts.
:09:11
Sorry, I didn't know this suicide
was black tie.

:09:16
Sitting here alone tonight,
it suddenly came over me.

:09:19
I have wasted away my whole life.
:09:21
- Do you realize I'm 21?
- It's a lucky thing I smoke too much.

:09:25
I was on my way to the corner
for cigarettes.

:09:27
- The corner. Oh, my God!
- What's the matter?

:09:31
I wrote Julian telling him
what I was going to do.

:09:34
What would be the sense of killing myself
if he didn't know about it?

:09:38
- Where are you going?
- I've got to get that letter back.

:09:40
Wait a minute!
:09:43
- How do you plan to do that?
- With string and some chewing gum.

:09:46
You already broke the law
when you attempted suicide.

:09:49
Don't start monkeying around
with the federal government.

:09:53
I guess you're right.
:09:55
- What time is it?
- It's almost 3:00.

:09:58
I've got to get up and go to work
in the morning.
