Remember that story you were telling me… about how sometimes the most important part of a conversation is the part you CAN'T hear? I think I'm in one of those now. I… I can't really talk. He's here.
No, he just… he wanted to talk things over. It's fine. Everything's fine. So, for the reservation… what was the name of that street again? I can't seem to find it. Right. I just… I need you to say it. For me. He's… redecorating. Yeah. The windows are… covered. He said he wanted more privacy. It's… very quiet in here. What? Oh. No, that was just him. Closing a door. Listen, I need that street name.
The one from when we were kids. The one we made up. The one that meant… you know. It meant HOME. No, not Elm. Think. Please. We used to write it on our hands. He's getting up. Oh, there it is!
