:21:01
Do you always have boys read to you,
Mr. Brattigan?

:21:05
It's Brautigan, ma'am.
:21:08
And, yes, I need someone to do it.
:21:11
My eyes aren't what they used to be.
:21:14
And what did you do before that?
:21:17
I worked up north. Various places.
:21:25
Well, come along, Bobby.
Time and tide wait for no man.

:21:30
-Bye, Mr. Brautigan.
-Bobby.

:21:43
Mom, guess what Mr. Brautigan--
:21:50
-Something doesn't make sense.
-What?

:21:53
Why would a man his age wanna
spend time with a kid?

:21:57
I don't know.
:21:59
I do know that he said
I must be some lucky kid...

:22:02
...to have a mom who'd let me...
:22:05
...have a grownup library card
for my birthday.

:22:10
I don't know. I trust him...
:22:13
...about as far as I could
sling a piano.

:22:16
That's right, spoil it for me.
You never want me to get that bike.

:22:22
I do, and I wish I could've
gotten it for you.

:22:25
But your father didn't exactly
leave us well-off.

:22:29
It's only reading.
:22:37
All right, what's the harm?
:22:40
Yes, yes, yes!
:22:41
But only on the porch,
mind, in the fresh air.

:22:46
Okay.
