- 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.

:23:02
If you could just give me a reason.
:23:05
All right. I'll give you a reason.
:23:08
You carry them into the study
because it's slightly after midnight

:23:13
and we're not going to be finished
before we open tomorrow.

:23:17
Correction.
Before we open tonight!

:23:25
And on we go, from after
Freddy's exit, with groceries.

:23:29
Lloyd, sweetheart,
his wife left him this morning.

:23:33
Oh.
:23:36
Freddy?
:23:41
I think the point is,
:23:43
you had a great fright
when she mentions income tax

:23:47
and you felt insecure and exposed
:23:50
and you wanted something familiar
to hold on to.

:23:55
Thank you, Lloyd.
:23:58
- Bless you!
- And on we merrily go.
