:04:05
Sure. Just a minute.
:04:16
- (Simon) You play basketball?
- l played in high school. l was sixth man.
:04:21
Me too. Sixth man until my senior year,
and then l started.
:04:24
- No kidding? Centre or forward?
- Forward. l wasn't big enough for centre.
:04:29
- Must have been some team.
- We had Oscar Benson on that team.
:04:32
No shit. You must be pretty good.
:04:35
l wasn't playin' the same game
that Oscar was playing.
:04:44
The other night... l don't know if you were in
danger, except for maybe losing your wallet.
:04:50
l didn't save your life, so you shouldn't be
thinking you have to say something to me.
:04:57
One morning, about three years ago,
l was on my way to a meeting...
:05:00
..at the Mutual Benefit building
on Wilshire, in the Miracle Mile.
:05:05
l love that name - the Miracle Mile.
:05:08
lt's the building across the street
from the county art museum,
:05:12
l was thinking about the meeting l was
going to, l was worried about it, actually,
:05:17
l started to step off the kerb,
:05:22
A stranger grabbed me and yanked me back
as a city bus went flying by my nose,
:05:26
l mean, it just fiilled up the world
six inches from my nose,
:05:30
l would have been like
a wet bug stain on the bus,
:05:33
l wouldn't have even felt it,
it would have been over so fast,
:05:37
l thanked this stranger,
this woman in a baseball cap,,,,
:05:41
,,but l was pretty much in a daze,
:05:44
When l thanked her, she said ''My pleasure,''
:05:47
l didn't notice till the last moment that
the cap was from the Pittsburgh Pirates,,,,
:05:51
- ,,my favourite team since l was a kid,
- Roberto Clemente, huh?
:05:55
Right. l never got over the idea that
l should have thanked that woman more,...
