It was right after my wife left me.
:14:03
She got so mean to me at the end...
:14:06
like I tried to keep her captive
or anything like that.

:14:11
I don't know, man.
:14:13
But don't think
I'm buying any of this growth crap, man.

:14:17
Everybody's always talking about
how bad experiences cause you to grow...

:14:20
and all that cliched stuff.
:14:23
Man, I got enough bad experiences
and growth to last me plenty.

:14:33
Right now...
:14:36
I'd be glad to trade some growth
for happiness.

:14:46
How long you staying in Cleveland, man?
:14:50
I don't know,
I got to see this chick in New York...

:14:52
and I'm really busy
with the comic book stuff.

:14:56
It's good bread and all.
I'm just getting sick of the whole scene.

:14:59
What are you talking about?
:15:01
You make a good living
doing your art, right?

:15:04
How many guys get that lucky in their life?
:15:08
Listen, I'll tell you something.
:15:10
People are starting
to know the name Crumb.

:15:13
When you croak, man,
you're gonna leave something behind.

:15:15
Yeah, I guess.
:15:18
It's not like I'm Blind Lemon Jefferson,
or Big Mama Thornton.

:15:21
Come on, man.
:15:23
I tell you something,
it sure beats working a gig like mine...

:15:26
being a nobody flunky
and selling records on the side for $1.

:15:31
Well, that's true.
