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.

:35:01
I was more alone that weekend than any.
:35:04
Sometimes in my sleep,
I'd feel a body next to me...

:35:07
like an amputee feels a phantom limb.
:35:12
All I did was think about Jennie Gerhardt
and Alice Quinn...

:35:16
and all the decades of people I had known.
:35:19
The more I thought,
the more I felt like crying.

:35:23
Life seemed so sweet and so sad...
:35:26
and so hard to let go of in the end.
:35:30
But hey, man,
every day is a brand new deal, right?

:35:34
Just keep on working
and something's bound to turn up.
