When you took us out for dinner,
:36:04
you started to open up a little.
:36:07
I hate talking about me.
:36:10
But you can talk about you.
:36:12
No problem.
But I can't talk in a vacuum.

:36:18
Ask me a question.
:36:27
What's effected you most
in your life?

:36:34
Odile.
:36:36
Odile, my sister.
:36:41
My grandmother brought us up.
:36:44
She had a shoe store. In Amiens.
:36:49
My sister was a genius.
:36:51
She ran the store
with my grandmother.

:36:55
There were shelves of shoeboxes.
:36:58
My grandmother said a number
and Odile found the right box.

:37:02
No one understood how.
:37:04
It was the same at school.
She was top of the class.

:37:10
One Wednesday...
:37:16
It was the busiest day.
She'd become an attraction.

:37:21
My grandmother did their thing.
She said a number and...

:37:26
Odile got it wrong.
:37:30
She took the wrong box.
:37:35
It was the first mistake
of her life.

:37:38
She came down with meningitis.
:37:41
It lasted for three days and...
:37:44
She died.
:37:49
How old was she?
:37:51
Eleven.
:37:54
Everyone treated her like an adult.
:37:57
She had no childhood.
