:32:01
All they do is
snort coke and talk.

:32:07
La-la-da-da-da
:32:12
La-la
Yeah, I recognize that. I like that.

:32:18
I wish Chick was here.
:32:21
Maybe I'll get
a job in Amsterdam.

:32:24
Chick loved it there.
Everyone does.

:32:27
They really know how to treat
a jazz person there.

:32:32
How was your night?
How'd your hand do?

:32:37
I remember, Chick damn near
cut his finger off once.

:32:43
It was in Kansas City.
:32:45
And he was working with
Anita O'Day, and, uh... I forget.

:32:49
And he punched
the window of a car out...

:32:52
'cause he'd left
the keys inside.

:32:56
That was really a hard time
for him to play...

:32:58
because... the cut
was on his slide hand.

:33:03
It kept openin' up.
And I knew it hurt him.

:33:08
And when I saw that guy
walk in that club...

:33:11
I knew it wasn't
gonna hurt much longer.

:33:16
He walked straight to Chick.
:33:19
Chick bent down...
:33:23
looked up at me and smiled.
:33:26
He said, "Five minutes.
Five minutes."

:33:32
Well, I'd heard that before.
:33:35
Five hours later
I got a phone call.

:33:39
Could I please come
and get my old man 'cause...

:33:43
he'd O.D.'d, and they didn't
want him in the house.

:33:48
So...
:33:51
I got there as fast
as I could.

:33:55
And...
He was turnin' blue.
