I never saw anybody
treat a bagel this way.

:30:03
Where were you raised?
:30:05
Believe it or not,
my parents owned a kosher bakery.

:30:09
They made me crazy, of course.
:30:11
The night that I ran away
I stood in the kitchen

:30:14
cigarette in one hand,
ham sandwich in another.

:30:17
Why were you running away?
:30:18
I had my high school diploma,
my first pay check. Why stay?

:30:22
Hi. 'Bye.
:30:24
Wait a minute.
:30:26
'Bye, Mom.
:30:35
Where'd you meet your husband?
:30:36
In a writing class. He liked my poems.
:30:42
So we moved into a one-room apartment.
:30:44
It was a dump, but standing
on a chair you could see Lake Michigan.

:30:49
It must have been tough when he left,
raising a kid on your own.

:30:52
I coped.
:30:59
Who was Kate's father?
:31:01
Are you always this nosy?
:31:04
Small-twon boy.
:31:05
I like to know other people's business.
Do you mind?

:31:08
No. When I mind, you'll know.
It'll be obvious.

:31:12
So who was he?
:31:14
I never caught his name.
:31:16
He was in St. Louis for a swim meet.
He had Olympic aspirations.

:31:20
You were on the same team?
:31:22
No, I was the maid in his hotel.
:31:25
One night...
I delivered more than his towels.

:31:34
You're a hell of a woman.
:31:35
I know.
:31:37
It's been a memorable breakfast.
I'm glad you like it.

:31:41
I didn't say I liked it.
But I'll never forget it.

:31:45
I'm sorry. No offense.
None taken.

:31:51
What do you want to do?
We've got all day.
