"recurrent images buzz through my brain:
:18:04
"the big bubbles of crust
that expand right up through the sauce...

:18:07
"glistening pools of oil
as still and inviting as a mountain...

:18:14
"lake...
:18:16
"the ropy knots of cheese
that gather to a chewy perfection...

:18:19
"in the center as the slices are pulled apart."
:18:22
-It's good.
-This is all wrong.

:18:25
There's no punctuation.
It's all one sentence.

:18:29
-So?
-It's a mess.

:18:31
You neglected to mention
the most important thing.

:18:34
I talk about the cheese-to-sauce ratio
right there.

:18:36
You didn't state your topic,
that this is gonna be a paper on pizza.

:18:40
But that is completely inferred.
:18:43
-lmplied.
-Whatever.

:18:44
Look, what do you say we blow this off
and go exploring?

:18:47
Nothing gets done on a Friday night.
Come on.

:18:49
Where are you going?
:18:51
It's too stuffy, let's go get some air.
:18:59
-You can't go in there.
-I can.

:19:02
This is America, you can go anywhere.
:19:25
-We're not supposed to be up here.
-See that?

:19:28
That's Ursa Major, the Big Bear.
:19:31
-We could get into trouble.
-That's Ursa Minor, the Little Bear.

:19:34
Up to the north there, that's Cassiopeia.
:19:37
That's Cassiopeia?
:19:40
-She was the mother of Andromeda, right?
-Who?

:19:43
-Cassiopeia.
-Really? I just know the names.

:19:46
Andromeda's there, too, next to Cassiopeia.
:19:49
Andromeda. She was the princess
who was chained to a rock.

:19:54
She was to be sacrificed to a sea serpent.
:19:56
-Did he get her?
-No.

:19:58
-Perseus rescued her at the last minute.
-Perseus, good man.
