And that was Steinbeck,
Grapes of Wrath.
:59:05
Your father tells me you write
literary reviews from time to time.
:59:08
- Mm-hmm. That's right.
- That's interesting.
Like father, like daughter.
:59:12
Tell me, have you ever had the
opportunity to review any of my work?
:59:16
Um...
:59:21
- I want to say grace now.
- Oh, good.
:59:27
Uh, no, George,
I want to say my own grace.
:59:30
Of course.
:59:41
Thank you for the world so sweet.
:59:44
Thank you for the food we eat.
:59:47
Thank you for the birds that sing.
:59:50
Thank you, God, for everything.
:59:54
And thank you, Ellie, for making
such a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner.
:59:59
Sure.
1:00:02
- Bravo.
- To Chef Boyardee.
1:00:06
- Shut up. That's terrible.
- Well...
1:00:10
to our great surprise and delight...
1:00:12
tonight has become a night to go down
in our family's history books.
1:00:16
We have the honor to have
with us Oliver Most, who...
1:00:19
whose work means so much to me...
1:00:21
and who was the first to encourage me
with Comeback lnn.
1:00:26
He's agreed after dinner
to read to us from his new book...
1:00:30
for which I...
1:00:32
I'm very grateful.
1:00:33
Well, George, I'm happy to oblige...
1:00:37
but you're gonna have
to remind me.
1:00:41
What in the hell is Comeback lnn?
1:00:43
lt sounds as if I've encouraged you
to invest in some sort of...
1:00:47
uh, roadside motel.
1:00:52
Honey, would you pass
the vegetables around?
1:00:55
Yeah. You want
some carrots, sweetheart?
1:00:57
That's my novel.
