I mean, the man who wrote it did not know anything about me.

Right. Well, what often happens in some of these evenings...

somehow in the spirit of All Souls' Eve.

I had expected something gentle and lyrical.

You know, push on his fingers and go into like a headstand...

certain things did come slowly to be known and understood.

but, urn, I see it as a test...

and watch the lights go from red to green and think, “How wonderful.”

If I'm just, uh, trapped there and I'm not allowed to do things...

well, then I just have a feeling of disappointment, and I'm sad.

But they created something that had ritual, love, surprise...

I mean, of course, even I have a tendency -

Then one day, after a while, when, you know, they'd really gotten to know him...

I mean, why is it necessary to have more than this...

than I enjoy, uh, reading Charlton Heston's autobiography...

I mean, science has been held up to us as a magical force...

Oh, when you mentioned the violets, it-it reminded me of that.

I mean, you know, you have to reach out, you have to go back and forth with them...

I mean - I mean, you know...

is, in a way, a very thin line.

I mean, here I am. I'm a grown man...

You know, I was doing nothing but scribbling a little poetry in my diary.

I mean, and there'd be a delicious cup of coffee and a piece of coffeecake.

In other words, like an American Indian dance, with this thumping, persistent rhythm.

And-And to decide whether to send my ships off to war on the basis of that...

I haven't really heard them. I haven't really been with them.

or the statistics of the Ford Foundation?

I don't know what happened to the other people, but I just started to cry uncontrollably.

I mean, I'm just so thrilled when I get up...

And they'd shown these handprints to some kind of expert...

I mean, you know, Tibetans would have looked at that...

But, uh, it is quite different from not having an electric blanket...

“will totally change your hearing in the performance.

and they pull the tree back, and they tie him to the tree...

But the worst thing of all was that I'd been trapped by an odd series of circumstances...

and now they're just thinking, “Well, what can I do?”

“but look at what can come to you on Christmas Eve. Hang on, old friend.

And somebody suggested that we have candles -

two people doing nothing but just being together?

like, uh, are you really hungry...

He told me a few things about Jerzy Grotowski...

that there be no artificial light, but candlelight.

And then when I went to town and bought the book and started to read it...

and there's this strange person living in the house, and I'm not working -

You know, uh, Debby once said, after one of these New York evenings...

You know, every day, several times a day, I walk into my apartment building.
