:05:01
'Cause he trusts me.
I mean, that's why he gave it to me.
:05:05
And he's given me absolutely everything.
:05:09
And he wants so badly
to be taken seriously...
:05:13
to be held in some esteem.
:05:16
Do you?
:05:17
Do I what?
:05:18
Do you hold him in esteem, Truman?
:05:23
Well...
:05:26
he's a gold mine.
:05:30
And he's told me his entire life.
:05:34
His dead mother.
:05:36
He had a brother and a sister
kill themselves.
:05:38
Awful.
:05:41

"I can't remember what I was going to say

:06:20
"I don't think ever before have so many
people been so directly responsible...
:06:24
"for my being so very, very glad.
:06:26
"It's a wonderful moment and a rare one.
:06:29
"Thank you!"
:06:31
There's an exclamation point
at the end of that "thank you"...
:06:34
in case you didn't catch it.
:06:39
Where'd you go?
:06:43
I guess it stopped being funny.
:06:46
I never said it was.
:06:49
Wait, listen to this.
:06:52
