:51:02
What do you have to go and ask me
a question like that for?

:51:05
Let's forget the whole thing.
I was curious, that's all.

:51:08
That's a pretty peculiar thing
to be curious about, isn't it?

:51:11
How would you feel
if I asked you a question like that?

:51:13
I certainly wouldn't get so defensive
about it.

:51:15
Probably because the answer
wouldn't be very interesting.

:51:18
You're making this very personal.
:51:20
I am? Jesus, I'm sorry about that.
:51:23
I didn't mean to ask you
a personal question.

:51:25
After all, the question you asked me
wasn't personal.

:51:27
"Tell me about the 5,000 or 6,000 guys
you slept with"!

:51:30
- But Doris, in your case...
- In my case? I'm that special case. Right.

:51:35
I didn't say anything about
5,000 or 6,000 guys.

:51:37
But that's what you were thinking.
:51:43
Right?
:51:46
- Where are you going?
- None of your goddamn business.

:51:48
- Is the truth that disturbing?
- Lf you're so concerned about truth...

:51:51
...why don't you ask me
what you wanted to ask me?

:51:54
- What is that, pray tell?
- I'll pray tell you what that is.

:51:57
What you wanted to know
is how you stood up to the competition.

:52:00
How you rated.
:52:01
You wanted to know
if you passed the course. Right?

:52:03
If you say so,
I didn't realize you were giving lessons.

:52:06
- Ordinarily, I don't handle beginners.
- No, I imagine a pro like you wouldn't.

:52:10
I know what your next question
would have been, too.

:52:12
'Cause it's the same dumb question
that every trick asks.

:52:15
Your next question would've been:
"Did you really like that?

:52:19
"Did you actually get a thrill, and all that,
after the times you've done it?

:52:23
"A piece of wood like you
really couldn't enjoy...

:52:27
"...doing it with a honest, clean-living,
upright, hotshot citizen like me."

:52:30
Right?
:52:33
Why don't I know better?
How come I never learn.

:52:36
I'm not going to be treated like a thing.
I am a real person.

:52:39
I am a person named Doris Wilgus.
:52:42
Wilgus?
:52:45
You can take your beady eyes
off me while I tell you something.

:52:49
Last night I thought
something real nice was happening.

:52:52
I mean, you really seemed to be
a nice guy and all.

:52:55
I'll tell you, I fall in love all the time.
All the time, you hear?

:52:58
So, it's no big deal.
But you were very nice there for a while.
