Hello, Niagara.
:34:03
He notices.
:34:04
She's distressed.
:34:05
He's concerned.
:34:07
She explains her predicament.
:34:10
And....
:34:12
Enter the light lunch.
:34:15
She's got other problems, of course.
:34:17
There's illness in the family.
:34:19
- Her mother needs an operation.
- Urgently.
:34:22
- Adenoids.
- No, Benny.
:34:25
Lumbago.
:34:28
That gag's got whiskers on it.
:34:31
He ain't biting, Benny.
:34:33
- She's losing him, Lou.
- Maybe he's wise.
:34:36
He don't look wise.
:34:38
- How does she pull this out?
- He's getting away.
:34:41
She better think fast.
:34:43
She isn't.
:34:45
She is!
:34:47
She's good, Benny.
:34:49
She's damn good, Lou.
:34:52
Can I get you boys anything else?
:34:57
Bromo.
:34:59
Bromo.
:35:02
I'm sorry we had to take the stairs.
It was just that horrible elevator boy!
:35:06
I can't say how much I appreciate
your listening to my story.
:35:09
I'm lucky to find someone in this bustling
city with a stout heart and a ready ear.
:35:14
There I was, travelling
through this great country.
:35:16
Some I met were kind to me,
others exceedingly cruel.
:35:19
Traveling by motor bus, rail,
even by thumb....
:35:21
The couch, please.
:35:23
Hoarding every dollar, counting
every nickel, pinching every penny.
:35:26
It's been a long road leading
to the coffee shop downstairs.
:35:29
Not that I'd trade a day, an hour,
a moment of it for anything.
:35:33
I don't know what came over me.
:35:34
I guess it was the shock of eating
after so long...
:35:37
...without the enzymes kicking in
after so long....
:35:43
Then you couldn't possibly know
what it is to be tired and hungry.
:35:47
Hungry, anyway.
:35:48
I don't want to bore you with details
of my life. It's not happy.
:35:51
Suffice to say I'm jobless,
but not for want of trying.
:35:54
I'm friendless, with no one to take care
of me and had you not come along...
:35:58
- ...exactly when you did....
- I, myself--
