:21:01
- Off to bed, are you?
- Well...

:21:04
Nowhere like bed when it all gets
on top of you.

:21:07
- You'll want your things.
- Yes.

:21:10
- That bed isn't aired.
- I'll get a hot-water bottle.

:21:14
- All your letters are in the study.
- You forward them, don't you?

:21:19
- Not the ones from the income tax.
- Oh, my God! Where are they?

:21:23
- In the little pigeon-house, dear.
- In the pigeon-house?

:21:28
- I could hear voices.
- What sort of voices?

:21:31
Hold it! What's the trouble?
:21:33
You know how stupid I am
about moves. Sorry.

:21:37
Why do I take the things into
the study? Shouldn't I leave them?

:21:42
- No.
- I thought it might be more logical.

:21:45
No.
:21:48
I know it's late in the day, but...
:21:51
- No, several minutes before we open.
- As long as we're not too rushed.

:21:56
Why does he carry the bag
and groceries into the study?

:22:00
- They have to be out of the way.
- I see that.

:22:03
And Selsdon needs them in the study.
:22:06
- Where is Selsdon? Is he there?
- Selsdon! Selsdon!

:22:11
- Am I on?
- No, no.

:22:13
I thought I heard my voice.
:22:15
No. Go back to sleep.
You're not on for 10 pages.

:22:19
- I see all that.
- Oh, no.

:22:22
- But why?
- Why does anyone do anything?

:22:25
Why does that other idiot
go out with sardines?

:22:29
- I'm not getting at you.
- Of course not.

:22:32
-Jesus, why do I?
- Who knows?

:22:34
Who knows?
:22:36
The wellsprings of human action
are deep and cloudy.

:22:39
Maybe something happened
when you were a small child

:22:43
that made you frightened
to let go of groceries.

:22:47
- It could be genetic.
- Or...you know.

:22:50
- It could be.
- I understand all that...

:22:53
I'm telling you I don't know.
I don't think the author knows.

:22:57
I don't know why the author came
into this industry. Or any of us.
