:53:00
Thats what he said.
:53:03
Then he kissed me...
:53:06
...and walked off into the trees
and down the lane.
:53:09
In that room, I found charts
of tide tables and waters...
:53:12
...in the sound and the ocean.
:53:17
He'll never be found.
:53:21
Did you cry a lot?
:53:24
Depends what you mean by a lot.
:53:28
No. I guess not very much.
:53:32
Do you believe in God?
:53:34
- Itd be nice.
- But you dont.
:53:37
I dont know.
:53:39
You know, its all so goddamn wild.
:53:42
I mean...
:53:45
...theres so many problems.
:53:46
- How do you pay for stuff?
- Travelers checks.
:53:49
Yeah, kids can have them too.
:53:52
I keep them in a safe-deposit box
in the bank.
:53:56
I have to make them last
for three years.
:53:59
- Howd your mother find you?
- By lying to my fathers publisher.
:54:03
She walked right in.
Fingernails as red as ever.
:54:06
My God, the nerve of her.
:54:10
She sat right over there.
Smoked her gold-tipped cigarettes...
:54:14
...went on and on about the
pollution in the Mediterranean...
:54:17
...and how marvelous it would be
to stay here.
:54:20
I hated myself for doing it,
but I actually acted happy to see her.
:54:24
She asked me for a drink, but I lied
and told her we didnt have any.
:54:30
I gave her some tea
with the same almond biscuits.
:54:33
Theyre very good.
:54:35
My father had given me a small bottle
containing some white powder.
:54:39
He said if she should arrive,
I should put it in her tea.
:54:44
It would calm her,
make her less aggressive.
:54:46
Well, it sure did.
:54:48
But you didnt know
what it was, huh?
:54:50
No, not until after.
:54:51
I looked it up
based on its properties.
:54:54
- Potassium cyanide.
- And thats what you put in her tea?
:54:56
Father meant what he said about
doing anything you have to to survive.
