Gott in Himmel.
:31:18
I never saw anybody
treat a bagel this way.

:31:20
Where were you raised?
:31:22
Believe it or not,
my parents owned a kosher bakery.

:31:26
They made me crazy, of course.
:31:28
The night that I ran away
I stood in the kitchen

:31:31
cigarette in one hand,
ham sandwich in another.

:31:35
Why were you running away?
:31:36
I had my high school diploma,
my first pay check. Why stay?

:31:40
Hi. 'Bye.
:31:42
Wait a minute.
:31:44
'Bye, Mom.
:31:53
Where'd you meet your husband?
:31:55
In a writing class. He liked my poems.
:32:00
So we moved into a one-room apartment.
:32:03
It was a dump, but standing
on a chair you could see Lake Michigan.

:32:07
It must have been tough when he left,
raising a kid on your own.

:32:11
I coped.
:32:19
Who was Kate's father?
:32:21
Are you always this nosy?
:32:24
Small-twon boy.
:32:25
I like to know other people's business.
Do you mind?

:32:28
No. When I mind, you'll know.
It'll be obvious.

:32:32
So who was he?
:32:34
I never caught his name.
:32:36
He was in St. Louis for a swim meet.
He had Olympic aspirations.

:32:41
You were on the same team?
:32:43
No, I was the maid in his hotel.
:32:46
One night...
I delivered more than his towels.

:32:55
You're a hell of a woman.
:32:56
I know.
:32:58
It's been a memorable breakfast.
I'm glad you like it.
