1:26:18
Look Im telling you,
there's gonna be another war.
1:26:22
Those slobs in the Pentagon'll be out
of job unless they find a new enemy.
1:26:26
They got this Saddam character now, and they're
going to hit him with all they've got. Mark my words.
1:26:32
Hey, man, how's it going?
1:26:35
Hi, Auggie.
1:26:38
Two, right?
1:26:41
Make it one.
1:26:44
You usually get two.
1:26:45
Yeah, I know, but I'm
trying to cut down.
1:26:49
Somebody's worried about my health.
1:26:52
Ah-hah.
1:26:55
And how's the work going
these days, maestro?
1:26:56
Fine.
1:26:58
Or it was until a couple of days ago.
1:26:59
A guy from The New York Times called
and asked me to write a Christmas story.
1:27:05
They want to publish
it on Christmas Day.
1:27:09
That's a feather in your
cap, man. The paper of record.
1:27:13
Yeah, great. The problem is, I have four days to come
up with something, and I don't have a single idea.
1:27:19
You know anything
about Christmas stories?
1:27:21
Christmas stories? Sure,
1:27:25
I know a ton of 'em.
1:27:27
Anything good?
1:27:28
Good? Of course. Are you kidding?
1:27:32
I'll tell you what. Buy me lunch, my friend, and
I'll tell you the best Christmas story you ever heard.
1:27:36
How's that?
1:27:37
And I guarantee every
word of it is true.
1:27:56
So. Are we ready?
1:27:59
Ready. Any time you are.
