02:24Which is where you were listed
02:26Locating people you knew Carol in her youth
02:28Has been challenging
02:29If you could contribute a memory
02:31It would mean a great deal to the family
02:33It was all so long ago and I can't
02:35Well, you won't have to write anything
02:37The eulogy system curates your recollections
02:39And uploads them for the memorial

04:44her face
04:44okay uh not really getting anything
04:57no sorry but uh just uh just try to focus i am but it's hard to uh to see her clearly
05:07yes at first getting hold of a memory feels like trying to grab a river with your hands
05:14oh boy yeah sorry not my words that's what the uh brochure says what helps are tangible prompts
05:21photos songs mementos that kind of thing can't you supply photos oh i'm not allowed to provide
05:27external material it would get mixed up with your memories they do it this way to keep the
05:31recollections accurate right right right but if you grant access to your photo cloud i can search
05:37for images of carol smartphones and clouds didn't exist back when i knew her um okay but do you have
05:43any physical photos
05:44come on
05:58you have any physical photos

06:25Are you there?
06:30Yeah, did you find some?
06:30A few.
06:31A few.
06:33Okay, three.
06:34I can process up to 1,500 photos.
06:36And I got you three.
06:37They recommend a minimum of six different images.
06:41Can we just get going with this?
06:42Absolutely.
06:44So?
06:45So pop me back on, lay out the first image you'd like to import, and then look at it.
06:52Literally just look at it.
06:54That's right.
06:54Okay, uh, the first one is, uh, this.
06:59Okay, what are we looking at here?
07:01That's the day I met Carol.
07:02This would have been in Brooklyn, rooftop barbecue at the Coop.
07:06The Coop?
07:06Uh, yeah, it used to be a squat.
07:08Um, idea was it was a co-op, so everyone just called it Coop, hence the Coop.
07:14I mean, we were just kids, really, but we called ourselves artists, musicians, misfits.
07:19Oh, believe it or not, that, uh, that young man is me, and that is Carol.
07:27What, the woman with her back to us?
07:29Yeah.
07:30We're looking for a clear recollection of her.
07:33This is what I have.
07:34We can enhance the moment by entering the image.
07:37Shall we go in?
07:40What do you mean, go in?
07:41It's easiest to just show you.
07:43Jesus Christ.
07:58Hi.
07:58Ah.
07:59Sorry.
08:01It's me.
08:02Your guide.
08:03Holy crap.
08:04I didn't mean to make you jump.
08:06No, it's, it's not, it's just a distance.
08:09Yeah, take a moment to get your bearings.
08:13This is the photograph fused with your memories.
08:22Some parts are missing, but details appear as and when your memories fill out.
08:31So when this was taken, this was before you and Carol got together.
08:35Huh.
08:36Well, I never said we got together.
08:38Oh, come on.
08:40Look at the way you're looking at her.
08:41And I'm guessing she was looking back at you the same way.
08:47I'd made her laugh.
08:50She was new in the house.
08:51I didn't know her, but I wanted to, and I'd made her laugh.
08:55And she looked...
08:57Oh, Christ.
08:58It's okay.
08:59No, there's no, um, I can't see your face.
09:01It'll come to you.
09:02Try to focus on what you can recall of this moment.
09:05Okay.
09:11Um...
09:11She had just moved in, uh...
09:16She kept to herself.
09:17She had been studying the cello.
09:19She was usually in her room practicing.
09:21I think she still had a boyfriend back home at this point.
09:26Fiance.
09:27Sorry?
09:28There's an engagement ring on her finger.
09:31See?
09:31The eye can't make that level of detail out in your photo, but there's enough there for the algorithmic sharpening to make visible to us in here.
09:37I never knew she was engaged.
09:39Maybe you chose not to see.
09:41Or not to remember.
09:42Oh, she never said it was that serious.
09:44Perhaps she underplayed it.
09:47Didn't want to scare you off.
09:48Shall we mark this moment for potential upload for the memorial?
09:54I don't think her family would appreciate seeing a fond memory of her flirting with me while engaged to someone else.
10:02You're right.
10:03It would be an honest representation of her character.
10:08Shall we move on?
10:15Jesus Christ.
10:16Yeah, don't worry.
10:19These transitions should get less disorientating as you go.
10:23Shall we try your next photo?
10:26Okay.
10:28Looks like another party.
10:29Uh, yeah, I can't remember what for.
10:32Any excuse would do, you know.
10:34That was the coop.
10:35Okay, a lot of faces.
10:37Why don't you talk me through who's who?
10:39Uh, okay.
10:41That's Emma with the blonde hair.
10:46And the guy with the bong.
10:47That's Jammo.
10:50And the girl lying back there is Amanda.
10:54And you'd have liked her.
10:55She was British, like you.
10:56But there's no Carol.
11:01Or you.
11:04No, we're not in the photo, but, uh, we were definitely both at this party.
11:09Hmm.
11:09Looks like there was a record playing.
11:14Fool's Gold by...
11:15Stone Roses.
11:17That's one of Amanda's.
11:19Music's great for jogging the memory.
11:20Music's great for jogging the memory.
11:36There.
11:38Right.
11:40Yeah.
11:43We were through there.
11:45Down the hall.
11:46That was the first time me and Carol really got talking.
11:53I was so nervous.
11:55My brain screaming behind my ears.
11:58Don't fuck this up, man.
12:03But I didn't fuck it up.
12:07Talking with her was easy.
12:10She was funny.
12:12Can you remember what you talked about?
12:16No, but...
12:20She was like no one I'd ever known.
12:22Or even thought of knowing.
12:31That was our first night together.
12:40I can't use this either, can I?
12:43I screwed the deceased.
12:44May she rest in peace.
12:46Probably not.
12:50Well, um, let's try your last photo.
12:53Uh...
12:56Me again?
12:57The hell was I wearing?
12:59Huh.
13:00Don't have a clue who took this.
13:02I didn't notice anyone taking it.
13:04There's still no sign of Carol.
13:05No, but I was listening.
13:09To her.
13:10Well, she was in her room.
13:14Well, she was in her room.
13:17On her cello, practicing.
13:22Lost in it.
13:24She didn't know I was watching.
13:31Well, she's in there, but I can't see her.
13:32Can you remember what she was playing?
13:36Well, this thing she used to play over and over.
13:39It was a beautiful piece of music.
13:40If you can remember the name of the piece, I can look it up.
13:44Listening might fill out the memory.
13:45No, it won't be on a surface.
13:50She wrote it herself.
13:53It was a piece she composed?
13:54Yeah.
13:55She was good.
13:58She was good.
13:59Well, it's a shame you don't have any more photos,
14:05but since that's all you have,
14:06perhaps we should try to use some other form of stimuli.
14:08It's not.
14:10Sorry?
14:14I've got other pictures.
14:17Of her.
14:18Great, then.
14:19Well, let's look at those.
14:21They won't help.
14:29See what I mean?
14:44Yeah.
14:48You're so after we broke up.
14:50If it had her face in it,
14:52I either threw it out or I did that.
14:54You were upset with her.
14:56That's one way of putting it.
14:57Yeah.
14:59You won't ever know how hard I fell for that girl,
15:05like beyond everything.
15:09And she said, she always said she felt the same,
15:12and I believed she felt the same.
15:15And then she drops me.
15:20Into a pit.
15:22Just a fucking pit.
15:23Just cold, bang, just see ya.
15:27Not a word, just walks away.
15:29And she went on with her life
15:34while mine just stopped.
15:36So that was me, lost.
15:38No hope, nothing.
15:42So then came the drinking,
15:44all that shit,
15:45the desperation of it.
15:47Fucking shame.
15:49Me and Carol were together three years.
15:51It took me 15 to climb out of the hole she put me in.
15:55So, yes, I was upset.
15:58And you never stayed in touch?
16:02Uh, no.
16:04No, we did not.
16:06Re-examining the past isn't always comfortable,
16:09but sometimes...
16:09Sometimes.
16:09Okay, sorry, but, yeah.
16:13There were good times
16:14when we were together.
16:17I know that, but, uh,
16:19it's all gone.
16:23I can't even picture her face anymore.
16:25Do you want to stop?
16:32No.
16:33Well, do you have any particular memories
16:35associated with what's left of these photos?
16:38I don't, um...
16:40Used to, maybe?
16:41I don't know.
16:42It's just the more you can recall,
16:43the more likely it is
16:44we can restore your memory of her face.
16:46All right, then.
16:52Let's, let's try this one.
16:54Which one's you?
16:56Sorry, I'm joking.
16:58You're hilarious.
16:59What do you remember
17:00about the day this was taken?
17:01It was wet.
17:02Well, that's a start.
17:04Let's see what else you can recall.
17:08So where exactly are we?
17:10Uh, the pier at Cape Cod.
17:13Well, that's where you live now.
17:15Yeah, well, I inherited
17:16my folks' house,
17:18but they were out of town,
17:19so we took the opportunity
17:20to take a cheap little vacation.
17:24My first getaway with a girlfriend.
17:28Who took the photo?
17:30Uh, just a tourist.
17:32Some passerby we handed the camera to and asked.
17:38I liked this photo more than Carol did.
17:41She wasn't into hot dogs?
17:43No, it was the beer.
17:44Could have put that bottle down
17:46for the picture, you know.
17:47Oh, yeah.
17:48She had a point.
17:49Yeah.
17:51You know, it was on this trip
17:52that we knew we were serious.
17:56Lying in bed,
17:57fascinated by each other's eyes.
17:59I love you,
18:02back and forth,
18:03all that.
18:03Nothing else existed.
18:05Just us.
18:06It's all we needed.
18:10We made plans.
18:13Man, we were so young.
18:15So, what were the plans?
18:22Well, we decided to get our own place together.
18:25Oh, black and white.
18:27It's a bit arty.
18:30This is it.
18:31Tiny place over piano store.
18:34Uh, I took the picture,
18:35so I would have been about there.
18:38Hmm.
18:39Can you remember what color
18:41she's painting with here?
18:42Well, the walls were nicotine yellow
18:44when we moved in.
18:46First place of our own
18:47for both of us.
18:49We wanted to make our marks,
18:51so we painted the whole place
18:54blue.
18:56Yeah, that's it.
18:58Blue.
18:59Yes!
19:01Oh, my God.
19:04The landlord lost his shit.
19:05We weren't supposed to redecorate.
19:08It's a stupid idea, really.
19:10It made it look even smaller
19:11than it already was.
19:12The two of you were happy here.
19:14Mm-hmm.
19:15Just me and her.
19:17And the cello.
19:19Yeah, we both kept up the music.
19:21She joined the band by now.
19:23You're in a band together?
19:24Oh, yeah.
19:25I'll show you.
19:27Here.
19:28It's one of our gigs.
19:29It's about 91, I think.
19:34I stabbed it with a pen.
19:37Will it still work?
19:38Should do.
19:39There we are.
19:43So Carol played keyboards?
19:46Yeah.
19:46That was my idea.
19:47Not cello.
19:49Cello wouldn't have fitted our sound.
19:50You could adapt the sound.
19:53She could play anything.
19:54It might not have been the cello,
19:56but she was fine with it.
19:57She told you that.
19:59Sorry, it's not a trial.
20:00No, it's not.
20:01We were getting quite a following.
20:12I'm not saying we were a big deal,
20:14but maybe we could have been.
20:18Have you got a recording?
20:20It might bring back more of the moment.
20:22Not anymore, no.
20:23Well, Zeke quit the band,
20:25moved to Seattle,
20:26decided he was God,
20:28and that was it for us.
20:30So, no, no recording.
20:33It's just as well.
20:35Hearing his voice gives me hives,
20:37to be honest.
20:37He went on to become a big deal,
20:39didn't he?
20:39Yeah, well,
20:40assholes prosper.
20:41And maybe we could have kept going without him,
20:45but Carol's heart wasn't in it.
20:49Maybe you should have let her play cello.
20:51Maybe you could say cello again.
20:53Well, the cello was important to her.
20:55I know.
20:55She played it her whole life,
20:56taught her daughter to play it.
20:57Are you supposed to be mildly annoying?
21:00Is that how they coded you?
21:02I wasn't really coded.
21:04Well, generated.
21:06Okay.
21:07Generated from some digital asshole.
21:11Sorry.
21:17Apology accepted.
21:20Let's try another picture.
21:25Okay, so these are definitely all 91.
21:29Halloween at the underval.
21:31Well, this is good.
21:32With multiple photos,
21:33we'll get a composite of the entire night.
21:37Yeah, jammo took a whole bunch.
21:39Wild night, a lot of drinking.
21:41That'll mean a lot.
21:44Jesus, that's Carol in red there.
21:47I was so mad I used a cigarette on this.
21:48You burned your own face out too?
21:50That's not me.
21:54That's me in the hockey mask.
21:57I had the bar job by now.
21:58So who's Beetlejuice?
21:59Just some dickbag trying his luck with my girlfriend.
22:04Even though you're standing right there,
22:06dressed like Jason from Friday the 13th?
22:08Exactly.
22:09I was that close,
22:10and she still just sat with this guy.
22:12Right in front of me.
22:14Looks like you had company too.
22:16Who's she?
22:17Oh, that's Emma.
22:18She was in the coop photos earlier.
22:21Yeah, she worked there too.
22:25The two of you get on?
22:27We worked together.
22:31Oh, Jesus, not you too.
22:37Carol thought I encouraged her, which I didn't.
22:40It was a bar job, for Christ's sake.
22:42You joke around.
22:43Oh, so she was jealous?
22:46We fought about it that night.
22:48I was pissed she'd been sitting all night with Mr. Asshole.
22:52Looks like she wants to get away from him.
22:55What?
22:56She's leaning back, like his breath smells.
23:01Okay, that's one snapshot.
23:03Believe me, she could have moved any time.
23:05She was there the whole night with her.
23:07The whole night.
23:07Absolutely.
23:11I think so.
23:12See that area?
23:14Jammo must have photographed it at some other point that night.
23:17Isn't that Carol with her back to us in red?
23:21Okay, not the whole night, literally.
23:26It's just a stupid fight.
23:31She went on and on.
23:33And then she blamed me that she didn't get an early night
23:37because she had some audition tryout thing the next day.
23:40Brooklyn Philharmonic for the cello.
23:44And she didn't get it.
23:45She must have been sad about that.
23:47Not for long.
23:48It opened the door to other things for her.
23:52Well, when the orchestra gig didn't work out, she was bummed.
23:55She didn't have any work.
23:58But then Amanda, the British girl from the coop,
24:01she'd moved back home, pulled a couple of strings,
24:04got Carol a six-month placement in the orchestra pit
24:08for Phantom of the Opera, of all things.
24:10London's West End.
24:13Total tourist bullshit, but...
24:16she was excited.
24:17Yes, she was.
24:19You didn't want her to go?
24:21She kept saying it's just for a few months,
24:23but it's easy to say that
24:26when you're the one going on an adventure.
24:27She sent me a postcard every week.
24:34Upbeat, but saying she missed me.
24:37Little poems and such.
24:38Maybe we could scan in one of the...
24:42I was thorough.
24:43So you didn't see her for a while?
24:45No, but we arranged for me to fly out there in the fall,
24:48see her for a long weekend,
24:50but I felt so far away, you know?
24:53A long time on my own.
24:56What's this?
24:58My birthday.
25:00So you weren't alone the whole time she was gone?
25:03What do you mean?
25:04Well, someone took this photo.
25:14So that's...
25:16Emma.
25:17Oh, God, yeah.
25:19Oh, Christ, yeah.
25:25Um, don't look at me like that.
25:26Like what?
25:27Like you are.
25:28I'm not looking at you like anything.
25:30Ah.
25:32Ah, ha, ha.
25:34Okay, so it was my birthday.
25:36I had a few drinks at work.
25:38Uh, not my idea.
25:39They were practically forcing shots on me.
25:41Sure.
25:41And then, and they came back to the apartment,
25:43and, you know,
25:44uh, we weren't...
25:46It, it, it, it's a dumb thing, okay?
25:49It was just a one-off thing.
25:54I mean, we, we'd have just regretted it,
25:57me and Emma, in secret.
25:58It wouldn't have been a big fucking deal if...
26:01If what?
26:02My carol never called.
26:13Couldn't afford to.
26:14The long distance back then was a fortune.
26:17But this night, she gets up early
26:19and called to sing me happy birthday.
26:22And Emma answers the call.
26:24I don't know why.
26:26Making mischief.
26:27Yeah, I don't know, maybe.
26:28Anyhow, shit hit the fan.
26:34Me and Carol screaming at each other down the line.
26:36She yelled all kinds of shit.
26:38I yelled all kinds of shit back.
26:43Ugly, scorched earth stuff.
26:47Ugly.
26:47She hung up on me.
26:51Or I hung up on her.
26:53I don't know.
26:54I can't fucking remember.
27:04But, yeah, anyway.
27:06Not good.
27:07Do you want to mark this memory for potential upload?
27:10For the memorial?
27:12I never thought I was perfect.
27:13You said a lot about Carol's failings.
27:16She did this, she did that.
27:17She's the root of all evil.
27:19Okay.
27:20You don't understand.
27:21What did she do that was so awful, so heinous,
27:23you become this wounded dog?
27:25I haven't shown you yet.
27:27You remember I told you we arranged for me to fly out there?
27:40Mm-hmm.
27:40I already had my ticket, so...
27:42So Carol knew you were coming.
27:43Right.
27:44A few months or so after my birthday.
27:47Now, she was staying in this British family spare room
27:50in the sticks somewhere,
27:50so I booked us a stupid suite in a hotel I couldn't afford.
27:55Big romantic.
27:57Nice.
27:57I went to the matinee.
28:00Not my thing.
28:01I couldn't even see her, of course.
28:03She was in the pit somewhere, but...
28:05I met her at the stage door after.
28:09I took her suitcase back to the hotel,
28:12and...
28:13we went out for dinner.
28:17Anywhere nice.
28:22To a fancy restaurant.
28:24I'd read this article about it on the flight.
28:26When I landed,
28:27I called to see if they had a table for two.
28:30I think they bumped someone
28:32when I told them what I was gonna do.
28:35What do you mean?
28:36They were over here.
28:45They were over here.
28:59So, walk through what happened.
29:09Well...
29:09Oh.
29:10She looked kind of the same,
29:15but different.
29:17She said she put on weight, but I couldn't see that.
29:20I thought she looked beautiful.
29:21And I ordered a bottle of champagne the first time I'd done that anywhere.
29:27But she didn't touch it.
29:29She didn't want to drink anything.
29:30And I was like, come on.
29:34I've come all this way.
29:35I have won, but no.
29:39So I had to bite my tongue,
29:40because, you know, it was...
29:41it was irritating.
29:42I had the ring in my pocket,
29:45so I was nervous.
29:47I'm draining the glasses.
29:49And finally, I pluck up the nerve,
29:52and I take out the ring,
29:54and I almost dropped it.
29:56I was so jittery.
29:57And she looks at it,
30:02and...
30:04she goes quiet.
30:08She doesn't say anything.
30:10She doesn't even look at me.
30:15And now the waitresses are shooting looks over,
30:17because they know I'm there to propose,
30:19so I'm on display, you know?
30:21My cheeks are burning, my throat is dry,
30:23so I'm drinking more,
30:24and then in the end, I just...
30:25I ask her.
30:26Just say something.
30:30Say anything.
30:33And she's just staring at the floor,
30:36so I bang the table with my fist,
30:38and now everybody's watching,
30:41and she just gets up...
30:46and walks out.
30:49There's just silence.
30:57There's just the clanging in the kitchen.
31:01And I'm there, and...
31:04everyone's quiet.
31:05The staff can't make eye contact.
31:07Just this stink of humiliation on me.
31:10Oh, I sat there, and I finished that bottle.
31:22They told me I didn't have to pay for it,
31:23but I insisted I would.
31:25I didn't want their pity.
31:26No, because you could provide your own.
31:31What?
31:37You're talking a lot about how sad you were.
31:41I was destroyed.
31:42And how was she?
31:43I'm not saying that she was a big,
31:45happy fucking sandwich,
31:47but she walked out on me.
31:49Not a word as to why.
31:50Would you have listened if she told you?
31:52A bottle of champagne down.
31:54Of course.
31:55So why do you think she left?
31:57Maybe she was cheating.
32:00Maybe she was sick of me.
32:02Maybe she was cruel.
32:03She knew that I was coming.
32:07She could have ended it on the phone.
32:09She made me fly all that way.
32:10She knew that I was coming.
32:11But not that you were coming to propose.
32:13Like, that's a big difference.
32:17You said this was autumn 92.
32:19Fall, yes.
32:20Like, October.
32:21She looked sort of different.
32:22Wouldn't drink.
32:24She was pregnant.
32:26With me.
32:33Kelly Royce.
32:36Carol's daughter.
32:37The one she taught to play cello.
32:42Don't worry.
32:43You're not my dad.
32:45He was a one-night stand.
32:47Played xylophone in the orchestra,
32:48believe it or not.
32:53You're Carol's daughter.
32:55Yes.
32:56Well, kind of.
32:58I'm not real.
33:01I'm a disposable avatar.
33:02A temp guide and echo, really.
33:06I'm programmed with her thoughts and opinions
33:09so I can decide what she'd like to include
33:11without her having to be exposed to everything herself,
33:14which, as you can imagine,
33:16might be upsetting.
33:18Why didn't you say?
33:20You said skip the intro.
33:22So you know everything
33:31that the real daughter knows.
33:33More or less.
33:34So you already knew everything
33:36I've been telling you here.
33:37Well, some of it.
33:37But to be honest,
33:38she never really spoke much
33:39about this time in her life.
33:44Right.
33:44I think looking back
33:45was painful for her.
33:47It doesn't mean
33:48your time together
33:48wasn't meaningful.
33:50Probably the opposite.
33:57This guy, your dad.
34:00What was he like?
34:01I just want to know.
34:02Why?
34:03She cheated with him.
34:04You mean followed your lead?
34:06Could you just tell me?
34:08I never knew much about him.
34:10He was called Brian.
34:12Brian?
34:13Yeah.
34:14And they were never together
34:15and by the time I was born,
34:16he was in Manchester.
34:17I saw him maybe five or six times
34:20and the last time,
34:21he was ranting about some online
34:23rabbit hole conspiracy theory
34:24and the year after that,
34:26I heard he died of COVID.
34:27Oh, boy.
34:29He sounds like a real catch.
34:31Great choice, Carol.
34:33Great choice.
34:37Sorry.
34:44It's okay.
34:46She'd agree.
34:51She said she wrote to you
34:52to explain
34:53or at least start the conversation
34:54and you never replied.
34:56She never wrote to me.
34:57It's what she told me.
34:58She never wrote.
35:00Or I never got it.
35:01I didn't get it.
35:03I'd have listened.
35:04Yeah, and said get rid of it.
35:06No, I don't know.
35:08We'd have talked it over.
35:09And you'd have heard her?
35:10Yes, I would.
35:11Yes, I would.
35:17I want to get out of here.
35:18I just want to see her, you know?
35:39Maybe there's something else
35:40that could jog your memory.
35:42I don't know.
35:42Well, um,
35:44what about in that box?
35:46Is that, like, a camera there?
35:48This?
35:49Yeah.
35:51It's a disposable camera.
35:53Big in the 90s.
35:54I got it at the airport.
35:56The plan was
35:57we would take photos
35:57around the city together.
35:59That never happened, of course.
36:00I never...
36:00Here.
36:17I haven't seen one of these
36:18in forever.
36:19Can you still process it?
36:20But there's only one photo
36:22been taken.
36:23I know, I know, I know.
36:25I'll have to wind it on.
36:27Okay.
36:28You'll waste the rest of the film.
36:29But you can retrieve the one photo.
36:31Might take a while.
36:33I'll wait.
36:33Matt or gloss?
36:36Matt.
36:51So?
36:51Was there anything on it?
36:54Here.
37:04I think I took this.
37:05Just a nothing photo.
37:06Oh.
37:09Look, we could still go in.
37:11What's the point?
37:13Well, you took it on your trip.
37:14So it might give us something.
37:16Sure.
37:19Told you it's nothing.
37:24This was the hotel room.
37:26When I came back from the restaurant,
37:29our case was gone,
37:30so I knew that was that.
37:33And I took it out on the room.
37:37It was pathetic.
37:41What are you even looking for?
37:43I just want to see
37:44what your camera picked up.
37:50There's a note here.
37:53Says Philly.
37:54The system's sharpened it up.
37:56There's a piece of paper here
37:57with Philly written on it.
37:58That's what she called me.
37:59I'm pretty sure it's her writing.
38:00Well, I never saw that.
38:03Philip, it's just part of the image.
38:05You won't be able to pick it up, huh?
38:08I'm sorry.
38:08That's just not how it works.
38:10No, come on.
38:12Please, come on.
38:19Get me out of here.
38:24Maybe you kept it somewhere.
38:26No.
38:27Are you sure?
38:28I'd fucking remember.
38:32Sorry.
38:33It's okay.
38:35Let's just walk through what you did
38:37after you took the photo.
38:38I just smashed the room up.
38:50I went out, drank myself into a blur.
38:54Then when I got back,
38:56the maid had cleaned the place up,
38:57put it all in the little pile.
38:58I just packed everything up.
38:59I put it away and I never...
39:02Oh.
39:09Oh.
39:10Oh.
39:12Oh.
39:16Oh.
39:18Oh.
39:22Oh.
39:25Oh.
39:25Oh.
39:27Oh.
39:29Philly, I have to tell you something.
39:32I couldn't say earlier. I froze. I'm sorry.
39:37Please, please don't hate me.
39:41That day I rang and got Emma, I was so mad.
39:47I had a one-night stand with someone in the orchestra here.
39:52It didn't mean anything, and I'm sorry.
39:58I've missed my period.
40:01I don't know what to do.
40:03I love you, and I want us to work, but I don't know how you'll feel.
40:08I think I want to keep the baby.
40:11I don't know.
40:14But could you live with that if I did?
40:19If you still want to talk, meet me tomorrow afternoon at the stage door after the matinee.
40:23I'll understand if you never want to see me again.
40:32I hope you do.
40:34I love you, Carol.
40:37I love you, Carol.
40:38No.
40:46I love you, Carol.
41:00I love you, Carol.
41:02I love you.
41:04Ne for help.
41:05I'm so sorry.
41:35Okay, Philly.
42:05So, you asked me to record this piece of music for you.
42:11Careful what you wish for.
42:15Let's see her.
42:35Let's see her.
42:43Let's see her.
43:13Let's see her.
43:43Let's see her.
44:13Let's see her.
44:43Let's see her.
45:13Let's see her.
45:43Let's see her.
46:13Let's see her.
46:43Let's see her.
46:45Let's see her.
47:13Let's see her.
47:15Let's see her.
47:19Let's see her.
47:25Let's see her.
47:49Let's see her.
