PENNY: I came to take you back
to California with me.
:02:03
CHUCK Uh, no...
:02:05
PENNY: It's a lonely state
without you.
:02:08
CHUCK: I'm home, Red.
:02:17
I can't wait forever
for you to marry me.
:02:22
Well, apparently, I can,
but I really don't want to.
:02:30
CHUCK: Uh...
:02:35
PENNY, CRYING:
I love you so much.
:02:43
PENNY: You don't understand.
:02:46
I don't even know why.
:02:48
CHUCK: Oh, Penny...
:02:51
Penny, Penny, Penny.

BARRIS: It was 1981...
:03:20
and I had holed myself up
in this New York hotel...
:03:24
the Phoenix Hotel...
:03:26
terrified of everything,
ashamed of my life.
:03:33
Until, finally,
I realized my salvation...
:03:37
might be in recording
my wasted life unflinchingly.
:03:40
[ Typing ]
:03:41
Maybe it would serve
as a cautionary tale...
:03:45
and maybe it would help me
understand why.
:03:49
When I was 11,
I had an experience...
:03:52
with my sister's friend
Tuvia...
:03:55
that left
an indelible impression.
:03:57
- Hey.
- What?
:03:58
- Tuvia.
- What?!
