:49:23
- Thanks for this.
- You're welcome.
:49:25
I just bought a car, but it won't
come in until next week.
:49:27
Oh, are you moving here
from out of town?
:49:29
From Covina.
:49:31
I didn't even know
that house was for sale.
:49:32
- It's been empty for so long.
- I didn't buy it.
:49:36
- It's my mother's house.
- Really?
:49:39
Yes. I was born in that house.
:49:41
Is your mother moving
in there with you?
:49:48
She died last year.
:49:49
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Don't worry about it.
:49:52
We hadn't said a word to each other
in over 20 years.
:49:59
I left home when I was 16,
and she never forgave me.
:50:03
- Why did you leave home?
- I joined the circus.
:50:12
You joined the circus
when you were 16?
:50:15
I fell in love with a girl who worked
in a circus, and I ran away with her.
:50:23
- That's quite a story.
- It's not all that exciting.
:50:26
I became a bookkeeper
with that circus.
:50:28
Perhaps you thought
I was a lion tamer?
:50:33
- No, I-I didn't.
- I'm allergic to cats.
:50:38
What kind of business are you in?
:50:41
- I write books for children.
- Storybooks?
:50:43
Yes. I've just started, really.
I'm a schoolteacher.
:50:47
- Do you have children yourself?
- I have a son.
:50:51
Jay. He's 15.
:50:54
I wanted to be a writer once.
A writer of short stories.
:50:58
- I don't write anymore.
- Why not?
