321 I... I flew home to New York, terribly distraught... 322 but when I got to the apartment, 323 I could see that Joe was in even worse shape than I was. 324 He grabbed my hand and he said to me, 325 "talk. 326 Talk about anything. "You know? 327 "I mean, any subject in the world. 328 "Don't worry whether it'll interest me or not. 329 "Just talk... 330 so I won't break down." 331 He couldn't bear to be alone with his thoughts. 332 It was too painful. 333 [Clearing throat] 334 It's been a hard couple of weeks for Alvin. 335 He and herb clutter were good friends from church. 336 Oh, Marie. 337 Oh, come on, Alvin. These are good people. 338 Why would they put a pillow under the boy's head just to shoot him? 339 Why would they tuck Nancy in? 340 (Marie) So many of my friends would love to meet you. |
