:26:09
Okay.
:26:11
- Whose turn is it now?
- Is this when you came home from 11:00?

:26:15
Yeah, it was.
Thank you for listening, Momma.

:26:18
What were you doing until 11:00?
:26:20
We walked and we talked
and we got to know each other.

:26:23
And he does not want to be
an usher forever.

:26:26
One day he wants to open up
his own restaurant.

:26:28
His own restaurant? And he's an usher?
What is he, 15, 16?

:26:32
No. He's 40. And he wants to
open up the restaurant with me.

:26:36
- Why with you?
- Because I would do all of the cooking.

:26:39
And I'd write out the menus.
And I'd keep the books.

:26:42
- What would he do?
- He will be the manager.

:26:44
If he's the manager then why won't he
write the menus and keep the books?

:26:48
'Cause he has a reading handicap.
:26:50
- What?
- He has a reading handicap.

:26:52
Wait. Hold it a minute.
What are you saying? He can't read?

:26:56
You're not supposed to get out of
your chair. That's not how I pictured it.

:27:00
Maybe I'm getting my own picture here.
This guy is what, illiterate?

:27:04
No! He can read a little.
:27:06
What does that mean, "a little"?
His name? You listen to me.

:27:09
Either this guy is pulling your leg,
or else he's after something.

:27:13
- Is he after something?
- Maybe it's not the time to talk about it.

:27:16
I think it's the perfect time.
What is this guy after?

:27:19
Has he touched you?
Has he fooled around with you?

:27:22
He's not that kind of person.
:27:24
What kind of person is he?
:27:26
He's 40 years old,
he takes you to the park at night...

:27:29
...he wants to open a restaurant with you,
and he can't read or write?

:27:33
How are you gonna open a restaurant?
Who's gonna put up the money?

:27:36
It would only cost $5,000.
:27:38
$5,000...
:27:41
Why not $5 million?
Who is gonna put up this $5,000? Him?

:27:44
I don't think so.
He doesn't have any money!

:27:47
- Too bad. Then who does that leave?
- Don't yell at me!

:27:51
I'm not yelling at you!
I'm asking you a question.

:27:54
- Who does that leave to put up the $5,000?
- It's too terrible. Momma, please.

:27:58
- Who does that leave?
- I would get it somewhere.
