:52:03
He must be proud that his daughter's
making such a name for herself.
:52:07
I'd like to think so.
:52:10
- He died last year.
- Sorry to hear that.
:52:16
- Would you like some coffee?
- Sure.
:52:26
Are you alone here?
:52:28
Yes. The thought of having live-in help
is a little poisonous to me.
:52:33
Why's that?
:52:34
Well, I'd have to talk to them...
:52:36
...ask them how
their family was doing...
:52:39
...hear about this and that,
introduce them to the guests...
:52:42
...and tell them
how their family was doing.
:52:45
All so that I would
seem to be a nice guy...
:52:49
...which is an awful lot of work...
:52:50
...considering what I cherish
most in life these days...
:52:53
...is not to have to be Vince Collins.
:52:55
No Reuben in your life?
:52:58
How do you know about Reuben?
:53:00
He was in a lot of the material
I've been looking at.
:53:04
No, I never had a Reuben.
:53:06
Lanny always paid him directly.
He was Lanny's man.
:53:08
Right.
:53:12
You know, what I like is to...
:53:15
...read...
:53:17
...think.
:53:19
It's to have the freedom...
:53:21
...to get up and leave
without telling anyone about it...
:53:24
...any time of day.
:53:28
Or even having to say goodbye.
:53:32
To be backstage, surrounded
by acrobats, actors, magicians...
:53:37
...it was intoxicating.
:53:39
You know, I was only 12 years old.
:53:41
That's a...
:53:43
That's a pretty impressionable age.
:53:44
- To hear all these stories of touring...
- My father always told me...
:53:48
... that nothing had meaning
unless it could be put on the record.
:53:53
Yet things had changed.
:53:56
As Vince had pointed out
at our first meeting...
:53:58
... it had become fashionable
to put yourself into the story.
