:34:00
I mean, considering I'd never
done anything like that before.

:34:03
Boy, I tell ya, I spent
that whole summer just cringin'
every time she got mad...

:34:06
thinkin' she'd found out or was gonna
call the school, but she never did.

:34:10
A long time ago... I think you were
still in elementary school, yeah...

:34:14
we were goin' over there
for your sister's birthday.

:34:16
I'd been lookin' in that other box for
somethin' and I came across this card.

:34:20
I thought, well, I'll
just take it along with me...

:34:22
and I'll show it to her and
we'll all have a little laugh.

:34:24
So after supper,
we were sittin' in her den...

:34:26
watchin' somethin'
on that old Magnavox she had.

:34:29
I started to pull the card out of
my pocket, and I couldn't do it.

:34:32
And every time
we went back after that...

:34:35
I never brought the card again,
butevery time we went back
I thoughtabout it.

:34:38
Every time I saw your grandmother,
I thought about it.

:34:40
I remember, even at the funeral
service, your Aunt Marjoree
sat there cryin' and cryin'...

:34:45
and all I could think of was that I had
never shown my mother that card.

:34:49
Huh. Well...
:34:51
just lookin' at it, I'd say you'd
done the right thing.

:34:54
You never did anything
like that, did you ?

:34:57
No. I was pretty much perfect.
:35:00
No regrets then, huh ?
:35:02
Just a trip.
:35:05
- What ?
- Trip.

:35:07
I wanted to take a trip
once, and, uh, I didn't.

:35:34
You know what I think ?
:35:37
- About what ?
- About you.

:35:43
I don't think we should
get into this right now.

:35:44
We're not gonna go
into anything here.

:35:47
It's just... I think you know that
it's gettin' to a point with you.

:35:50
And I could be wrong about this.
I'm not sayin'this is the way it is.

:35:52
But from the way I'm
seein' things, at least...

:35:55
I think you're startin'
to feel so sorry for yourself,
it's damn near crippled you.
