No. No, I'm Tom Baxter of the Chicago
Baxters. Explorer, poet, adventurer.

:50:08
Just back from Cairo, where I searched
in vain for the legendary purple rose.

:50:13
- How about that?
- Well, who are you?

:50:16
- My name's Emma.
- Oh, that's lovely.

:50:19
- What do you do, Emma?
- I'm a working girl.

:50:22
And what do you do,
you delicate creature?

:50:25
Anything that'll make a buck.
:50:28
Well, we Baxters never
really had to worry about money.

:50:31
I'll bet. You wanna come along with me?
:50:35
- Where to, Emma?
- Where I work.

:50:37
I think you might have a good time.
:50:40
Sounds enchanting.
I'm up for new experiences.

:50:43
I may be able to help.
:50:48
- Hi, girls. This is Tom.
- Hi there, ladies.

:50:50
- Don't you all look enticing?
- I know what you want.

:50:54
You wanna be the great white hunter
and you want me to be the tiger.

:50:59
- I don't get it.
- You will if you can afford it.

:51:02
- I met Tom out at the amusement park.
- Oh, no. That's my hat.

:51:06
Uh, yes, I was thinking about something.
:51:09
- I can imagine.
- Two of us at the same time?

:51:12
I was thinking about deep things.
:51:14
About God and his relation
with Irving Sachs and RH Levine.

:51:17
I was thinking about life in general.
The origin of everything we see about us.

:51:22
The finality of death and how almost
magical it seems in the real world,...

:51:28
..as opposed to the world
of celluloid and flickering shadows.

:51:31
- Where did you find this clown?
- For example, the miracle of birth.

:51:35
I suppose
some of you ladies are married?

:51:37
- Not any more.
- No?

:51:40
Then the absolutely
astonishing miracle of childbirth...

:51:44
..with all its attendant feelings
of humanity and pathos.

:51:48
- I stand in awe of existence.
- Do you wanna tie me up?

:51:52
- Tie you up?
-Yeah.

:51:54
Oh, that's very funny.
:51:56
A nice sense of humour.
The absurd non sequitur.

:51:59
- What's your name, sweetheart?
- Martha.
