- It's a pleasure.
:39:15
And I want to thank you
for the way you took in my girls here.
:39:19
I can already see a difference in them.
Very grateful to you.
:39:21
Dad? Dad, did you notice?
No cane.
:39:24
I know. It's amazing.
:39:27
- Could we show him Pilgrim, Tom?
- You bet.
:39:29
- Let's go get your bags.
- Need a hand, Annie?
:39:32
- Yep.
- See you later.
:39:36
So at this pointl'm,
I'm pretty sure I'm lost.
:39:38
So I stopped by this general store and
ask if anyone knows the Booker ranch.
:39:42
And this, this nice, uh, older gentleman
with a bandage on his head...
:39:46
uh, gave me directions.
:39:49
- Sweet Jesus. That's Henry Vanoker.
- Oh.
:39:53
I'm surprised you didn't wind up
in Mexico.
:39:56
Well, once when, uh, Dad was in India,
he, he gotlost...
:39:59
way, way up in these mountains.
:40:01
And when he finally found his way back,
everyone said thathe had discovered
a new route.
:40:05
And they redid all the maps.
:40:06
Well, now how'd you end up
in India, Robert?
:40:09
Oh, this is right after college.
I was in the Peace Corps.
:40:11
Well, that's where he metMom.
:40:13
Hey, tell 'em about when, uh,
Mom wentlooking for Tubab.
:40:16
- No, honey, l...
- Oh, Dad! Come on, Dad.
:40:18
Uh, well, Mom was a writer,
and, um, Dad knows the rest.
:40:23
- Come on.
- She was a journalist
for an English periodical.
:40:26
- Uh, what was it called?
- Cambridge Monthly.
:40:28
Right. And she decided to go to India
all by herself withoutknowing a soul.
:40:34
Uh, she had no place to stay, but
she was, she was told to look up Tubab.
:40:38
- Tubab?
- She comes to my door...
:40:40
suitcase and typewriter...
:40:44
and asks where Tubab is,
and I said, "Righthere."
:40:47
And she said, "You're Tubab?"
I said, "No, my name is Robert.
:40:51
Tubab means white man,
and yes, I am."
:40:59
And that was how we met.
