:24:01
I have a serviceable list of reasons.
:24:04
Take out my reasons
and polish them every once in a while.
:24:10
I kept on growing out
in all these...
:24:13
...peculiar and idiosyncratic directions.
:24:17
I'd put on a little bristle here
and a bristle there...
:24:21
...and sort of...
:24:24
...turned myself into a porcupine.
:24:28
- What?
- Well, it's just such an old joke.
:24:34
How do two porcupines...
:24:37
...make love?
:24:41
Very carefully.
:24:51
To the left, right around this corner.
You'll find it.
:25:04
It's kind of you to make time

:25:07

:25:13
Uh-huh. You know something?
:25:16

right after the funeral.
:25:20
I even hired a detective.
:25:22
Sent him over to Charleston,
where she said her people were at.
:25:26
There was nothing at all.
No family, not even a trace.
:25:30
Why didn't you come forward, Etta?
:25:34
Ben was gone.
I couldn't bring him back.
:25:37
I thought, "It'll be in the papers."
I didn't want a big scandal.
:25:40
Okay, about the will, Etta.
:25:43
Rice Institute was the only
other beneficiary, wasn't it?
:25:46
Yes. Ben was gracious and...
:25:49
And I bet you wondered
if Marielle got caught...
:25:52
...Rice might just take back
that little gift she gave you.
