:57:02
- Did you know her?
- Not really.

:57:05
I was wondering, because in the kitchen,
I noticed a grocery box with her name on it.

:57:10
I occasionally buy supplies there,
like anyone else who lives around here.

:57:14
I think she was the one that drowned. Yeah.
:57:17
Cos I stopped by the grocery store
to pick up some cigars

:57:21
and I noticed it was closed
and the cops' cars around.

:57:26
Well, if it was her, I'd be very sorry.
:57:30
- She was always very friendly.
- Yeah. That's a shame.

:57:34
Oh, you did know her?
:57:37
I know a lot of people
without really knowing them,

:57:40
like barbers, waitresses,
parking lot attendants,

:57:44
even the cop on the beat.
:57:46
- Don't you?
- Yeah. Yeah, I do, as a matter of fact.

:57:52
I'll tell you, though. People are strange.
I can't figure 'em out.

:57:56
Why a woman goes out on a lake
all by herself before the light comes up.

:58:00
Oh, there's nothing unusual about that.
A lot of us go out early.

:58:05
It's peaceful and kind of makes you feel
like you're... plugged in to nature.

:58:11
- Know what I mean?
- Yeah. Yeah.

:58:15
You came down here to get away from
things and I'm just takin' up your time.

:58:20
- I didn't mean to bother you.
- No. It's no bother at all.

:58:23
I'd be glad to let you have a bathing suit,
but you don't look like the athletic type.

:58:28
Well, it's my wife that's the athlete.
:58:30
- Oh?
- Yeah.

:58:32
So you don't think I'm gonna
be able to find a cabin to rent, huh?

:58:36
Best bet is to check with
some of the local real estate people.

:58:40
I think it'd be fun to be neighbours
for a couple of weeks.

:58:43
What kind of nightlife do you have here?
:58:46
Nightlife? None.
:58:48
- No partying?
- Just sleep and crickets.

:58:51
I was wonderin', because I didn't want
to barge in on you today unannounced.

:58:56
I don't follow you.
:58:58
Last night I called to tell you that
I was comin', but there was no one at home.
