:54:03
Marian, I'm giving you
a chance to come clean...
:54:06
clear the slate, on to
a higher consciousness.
:54:09
And then, don't ever
lie to me again, Marian.
:54:12
- This is not like you, Ralph.
- What, to demand? You're right, Marian.
:54:16
But I wanna know.
I wanna know the truth.
:54:19
- We're just talking, right?
- Yes, Marian. We're just talking!
:54:22
- You want me to tell you the truth?
- That's all I've ever asked, Marian.
:54:27
Okay.
:54:33
He kissed me.
:54:36
Does that satisfy you?
:54:38
Did it satisfy you?
:54:39
Everybody was pretty far gone,
as you may or may not know.
:54:41
Marian, I don't really need
all this perspective, just the facts.
:54:44
All right.
All right, Ralph. Okay.
:54:46
Somehow... Somehow the two of us
were elected to go out and get liquor.
:54:51
We drove to the Foremost,
which was closed...
:54:53
and then to Cappy's,
which was also closed.
:54:55
In fact, everything was closed.
:54:56
I mean, I was beginning to wonder
whether anything would be open...
:54:59
and all I could think of were those
all-night supermarkets, and...
:55:03
I wondered whether anybody
would even be in the mood for a drink...
:55:06
if we had to drive around half the night
looking for an open market.
:55:10
He was really drunk.
:55:11
I hadn't even realized how drunk he was
until we started driving.
:55:14
And he was driving...
he was driving terribly slow.
:55:17
He was all hunched over
the wheel, and we were talking.
:55:20
We were talking about
a lot of things...
:55:23
A lot of things that
didn't make sense...
:55:25
I mean, about, uh,
religious images...
:55:27
and about this...
:55:29
about this painter,
this painter named Larry Rivers.
:55:32
And, uh... And then he started
talking about Norman Mailer...
:55:36
and about how Norman Mailer
stabbed his wife in the breast.
:55:41
And he said he'd hate it
if anybody did that to me.
:55:46
He said he'd like
to kiss my breast.
:55:48
And then he pulled the car over
to the side of the road, and...
:55:52
then he kissed me.
:55:56
How long?
