and gettin' washed away.
:06:05
That's about it.
:06:09
I did something that day
that I'd never done in my life.

:06:16
I didn't tell your mother
the truth.

:06:19
Called in sick, and then I left
like I was going to work.

:06:22
And I didn't tell your mother
I was going over to Olla's house...

:06:24
to hook up a new fridge
and an ice maker.

:06:26
She'd have had a fit!
:06:28
I mean, even if she knew that
I was getting paid for my time...

:06:30
she would have had a fit.
:06:32
It was okay for her to help Olla.
Oh, not for me.

:06:34
See? She was very
possessive that way.

:06:37
Well, sisters are funny,
you know.

:06:39
Hell, in this case, I was happy to oblige.
I needed the extra money.

:06:43
And it was Olla's idea
not to involve your mother.

:06:45
It was Olla's idea
for me to lie.

:06:49
I figured it would take a couple hours. Then
I'll go to work, tell 'em I'm feeling better.

:06:53
Anyway, I... I told Olla
I'd be over early, and I was.

:06:56
But there was no answer.
So, uh, the... the door was open.

:06:58
I go in. I hear that she's up
in the shower. So, I holler out...

:07:02
you know, so that she won't get scared
when she comes out of the shower...

:07:04
and hears me working down
in the basement, and so forth.

:07:07
Anyway, I go down.
After a while, Olla...

:07:10
comes down to the basement...
:07:13
In a robe.
:07:16
Huh?
:07:18
And she says that
she got cleaned up... for me.

:07:22
And I think that's very odd
to say under the circumstances.

:07:26
But you know Olla. Anyhow,
she says, "How's it going?"

:07:30
I said, "Fine".
And, uh, after a while she...

:07:33
Yeah, she asked me if I wanted a beer.
She says, "You want a beer?"

:07:35
I said, "Geez, it's a little early in the morning
for that sort of thing, isn't it?"

:07:38
She says, "Well, I'm not your employer,
am I? Do you want one or not?"

:07:42
I said, "Oh, well, what the hell. Why not?"
It seemed like a good idea at the time.

:07:46
She comes back
with two beers.

:07:48
I tell ya, every time I finish a beer...
foom! There's another one in my hand.

:07:51
Christ, now we're up in the kitchen. And
I'm havin' trouble makin' the joints connect...

:07:54
I... 'Cause I'm on
my fourth or fifth beer.

:07:57
And I said, "Olla..."
In fact, this is exactly what I said.

:07:59
Oh, I'll never forget this.
