:33:00
but most of the time
I just stay at home by myself and I read.
:33:05
You're luckier than you think.
:33:07
Between my husband and my kids...
:33:09
it's impossible for me
to curl up with a good book.
:33:17
I'm reading this book by Dreiser now.
:33:21
- Jennie Gerhardt.
- That's one of my favorites.
:33:24
Yeah?
:33:26
I hope that book don't end like
so many of those naturalist novels...
:33:30
with someone getting crushed to earth...
:33:33
by forces he can't control.
:33:35
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
:33:37
I mean, it's certainly
not your Hollywood happy ending...
:33:40
but it's pretty truthful,
which is rare these days.
:33:46
- This is me.
- All right.
:33:53
- Nice car.
- Thanks.
:33:56
- I don't have one yet.
- Can I give you a lift somewhere?
:34:00
No, that's all right.
It's a nice day, I'll just walk.
:34:15
It was nice seeing you.
:34:39
When I got home,
I finished reading Jennie Gerhardt.
:34:43
It was real good. That Alice was right.
:34:49
Sure, Lester, the main character,
croaks in the end...
:34:53
but at least he's old
and dies a natural, dignified death.
