:13:01
Miss!
:13:04
Yes?
:13:05
I can't see.
:13:14
Now look at me.
:13:20
Can you see me?
:13:26
- And that?
- No.
:13:29
What?
:13:31
What "what"?
:13:32
- What can't you see?
- Well, your...
:13:44
No one guessed
just how near-sighted she was.
:13:49
She hid it incredibly well.
:13:52
Thank you.
:13:53
To think she was my friend.
:13:55
Straigten up, please.
:13:59
You can imagine, at that age:
:14:03
Ugly, her face full of pimples
:14:05
and obsessed with
the idea
:14:08
of becoming my best friend.
:14:12
It's not as if I didn't have
other things on my mind at the time.
:14:15
Believe me.
:14:17
Look up, please.
:14:19
Well,
:14:21
anyway,
:14:23
one day, she showed up
:14:24
with huge, thick glasses.
They were grotesque.
:14:27
Look straight ahead, please.
:14:29
She really looked like a frog.
:14:33
I mean,
:14:34
she was rather pitiful
but you know how kids are.
:14:38
"How do you like
your best friend's glasses?"
:14:42
"Horrible," I told her.
:14:44
She gave me this look
:14:46
a look I'll never forget.
:14:49
- And in her German accent...
- Look down.
:14:53
...full of hate, she said:
:14:54
"I wish you all
to have to wear glasses!"
:14:59
We died laughing, of course.
