It's Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books Page #5

we're getting together for some reason.

So, uh, I gotta go over there for a while.

But then I can, uh...

I can probably cruise over after that.

I'll try to get out of there

pretty quick, if I can.

And, uh...

So maybe I'll be over later, huh?

I kinda gotta get going now,

because I'm--

I was supposed to be over there already.

Okay.

Hey, Grandma. Yeah, I'm here.

Is everybody here?

Okay.

Okay. Go ahead and let me in.

Yeah. Okay. Bye.

[Woman]

I'll tell you where you used to smell garlic.

In Chicago. You get on a crowded streetcar

goin' to work in the morning.

- [Man] Oh, yeah.

- [Woman #2] In the morning?

Oh, listen... -And you think of

all these foreigners and the garlic--

- For breakfast?

- I guess.

Didn't you find them

in the elevators at school?

- I guess you don't--

- I had a one-story school. [Chuckles]

[Man] You've got to work

in an ethnic neighborhood...

to really get the flavor of it.

[Woman] Gavelston's kind of ethnic.

They have a really big Italian population.

Maybe their clothes were just

permeated with the scent of it.

- No.

- I don't know.

This is bad breath.

[Laughing]

This is garlic.

They'd been eating garlic.

[Man] You know, Italians

have very low heart disease.

- I think it's the garlic and the olive oil.

- Mm-hmm.

- And the lifestyle.

- It's all in sync.

- "I don't give a rip" attitude.

- Yeah.

That'll do it.

Well, it's not so much "I don't give a rip,"

but "I don't have any need to give a rip".

- You know. They don't--

- They have their priorities in order.

They know-- They know what's important.

I'm not derelict in my duty.

[Man #2] The most humane people. They

have a real sense of what's valuable in life.

[Chattering]

[Man #1]

Well, social community.

Like, I remember--

They don't sit at the house and drink.

Um, they go down to the bar.

- [Woman] Clorox 2?

- [Chuckles]

I've rediscovered Clorox. It's great.

Anything white in my house is--

[Man #1]

You're gonna want your flank protected.

[Woman] Even-- Even colored

things that I've washed.

[Knocking]

- Hey.

- [Woman] Hey.

Hey.
