:37:04
It was snowing--
a wet, thick snow.

:37:10
At 17 and 15, respectively,
:37:14
Thomas and Timothy
could ski the pants off their parents.

:37:18
That day, in fact, Ted and Marion
had retired to the bar at the ski resort...

:37:24
where they were waiting
for a very long time...

:37:27
for Thomas and Timothy
to finish their last run...

:37:31
and the last run after that.
:37:34
I get the picture.
You were drunk.

:37:40
Well, that, uh--
:37:44
that was one aspect
of what would become trivial...

:37:47
in the... area of the ongoing argument
between Marion and Ted.

:37:52
l mean, Marion said that Ted was drunk,
although in his view, he wasn't.

:37:58
Marion, while not drunk, certainly had had
more to drink than she was accustomed to.

:38:02
Besides, Tommy had not been drinking.
He had his license.

:38:06
There was no disagreement
as to who among them should be the driver.

:38:10
And, brothers being brothers,
:38:13
Timmy sat beside him in the passenger seat.
:38:18
And as for the parents,
:38:20
Ted and Marion... sat in the backseat.
:38:28
Ted and Marion
began to quarrel...

:38:31
about the best route
back to the hotel.

:38:35
There was gonna have to be a left turn
no matter how Tommy did it.

:38:39
So, Tommy moves into the center lane.
:38:43
lt's, um, a turning lane.
lt's not a passing lane.

:38:46
He puts on his blinker,
:38:49
not knowing that both lights
are covered with wet, sticky snow...

:38:54
that his father failed to clear off
at the same time his father...

:38:58
failed to clear off the rear window.
