:52:00
Did you tell him
your mama did the same thing?
:52:02
See, I can't tell him everything.
:52:03
We've been talking our heads off
for the past month.
:52:06
And sometimes...
:52:10
when I think how good my book can be,
I can hardly breathe.
:52:19
Anyway, this is what
I wanted to read to you.
:52:23
"If called upon to make a speech"...
:52:25
"If called upon to make a speech"?
:52:27
I mean, this is exactly
what I'm talking about.
:52:31
A speech, just in case
he's ever recognized for an achievement.
:52:35
"I can't remember what I was going to say
for the life of me.
:52:39
"I don't think ever before have so many
people been so directly responsible...
:52:43
"for my being so very, very glad.
:52:45
"It's a wonderful moment and a rare one.
:52:49
"Thank you!"
:52:51
There's an exclamation point
at the end of that "thank you"...
:52:53
in case you didn't catch it.
:52:58
Where'd you go?
:53:02
I guess it stopped being funny.
:53:05
I never said it was.
:53:08
Wait, listen to this.
:53:11
I was 14.
:53:13
One day I said to her, "Mom's dead."
I could see it.
:53:16
A week later we got the news.
She finally drunk herself...
:53:19
Found her shivering...
:53:20
She hit me so many times
with that flashlight...
:53:23
she broke it.
:53:24
That night,
I dreamed about that big yellow bird.
:53:26
Clawed that nun's eyes, bright like the sun.
:53:28
Lifted me to the sky.
:53:29
Sometimes you see a thing how it really is.
:53:38
Well, you're nothing if not hardworking.
:53:41
Hey, you look good. Healthy again.
:53:47
You know,
I've decided on a title for my book.
:53:51
I think you'll like it.
:53:53
It's very masculine.
:53:56
In Cold Blood.
