Smoke

1:35:00

Too much Chianti, I suppose.

1:35:03

I went into the kitchen
to wash the dishes,

1:35:06

and she slept on through the
whole racket, snoring like a baby.

1:35:11

There didn't seem to be any point in
disturbing her, so I decided to leave.

1:35:19

I couldn't even write a note to say
good-bye, seeing that she was blind and all,

1:35:24

so I just left.

1:35:27

I put her grandson's wallet on the table, picked up
the camera again, and walked out of the apartment...

1:35:39

And that's the end of the story.

1:35:47

Did you ever go back to see her?

1:35:56

Once, about three or four months later.

1:36:00

I felt so bad about stealing the
camera, I hadn't even used it yet.

1:36:05

I finally made up my mind to return it,
but Granny Ethel wasn't there anymore.

1:36:10

Someone else had moved into the apartment,
and he couldn't tell me where she was.

1:36:20

She probably died.

1:36:22

Yeah, probably.

1:36:33

Which means that she spent
her last Christmas with you.

1:36:41

I guess so. I never
thought of it that way.

1:36:49

It was a good deed, Auggie. It
was a nice thing you did for her.

1:36:55

I lied to her, and
then I stole from her.

1:36:57

I don't see how you can
call that a good deed.

1:36:59

You made her happy. And the
camera was stolen anyway.
