2.  Today we'll be discussing
A Tale of Two Cities 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
3.  a terrific book 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
4.  by that most Dickensian
of authors, Charles Dickens. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
5.  Okay, you've all read it. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
6.  Come on, let's get
a dialogue going. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
7.  Um, I really liked
the guillotine. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
8.  Yes, yes. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
9.  Um, why don't they have
the guillotine here? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
10.  Well, I don't know,
but the theme... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
11.  Did anyone ever try to pull 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
12.  their head out of the guillotine
at the last minute 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
13.  so, like, just the top
of their head got chopped off? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
14.  Okay, are there any questions
not involving the guillotine? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
15.  Anyone? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
16.  Anything? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
17.  So that's it? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
18.  What about class differences? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
19.  What about romantic love? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
20.  Sacrifice and regret? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
21.  Everything in life is between
the covers of this book, people. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
22.  You went crazy. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
23.  My husband likes his stories. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
24.  People say he was 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
25.  a poor man's Hemingway 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
26.  but I think Hemingway
was a poor man's Hemingway. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
27.  "Poor man's Hemingway." 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
28.  Uh, can I help you
find something? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
29.  Well, yes. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
30.  I am looking to replace
my well-worn 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
31.  and fully understood copy
of A Tale of Two Cities 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
32.  by Charles...
Dickens. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
33.  Of course. It's in Classics
to your left. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
34.  Anyway, I hope
tonight's discussion 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
35.  will be as spirited
as the last one. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
36.  You bring the opinions,
I'll bring the Merlot 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
37.  and I'm sure it will be. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
38.  Merlot?
Well, excuse me. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
39.  You must be talking
about a book club. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
40.  We are. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
41.  A bientτt. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
42.  Pardon my French. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
43.  Oh, es de nada. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
44.  And my Spanish
needs no apologies. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
45.  You know, as one intellectual
to another. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
46.  I must say 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
47.  your book club sounds fun. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
48.  And I do happen
to be free tonight. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
49.  You're not free. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
50.  You have a date with Dickens. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
51.  That'll be $5.95. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
52.  Yup. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
53.  Yup. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
54.  Oh, mind if I join you? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
55.  I'm kind of in the mood 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
56.  for some stimulating
conversation. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
57.  You've come to the right place. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
58.  Now, Bill, you were opining
on a matter of some import. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
59.  Oh, yeah. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
60.  Why is it I like butter
but I don't like cheese? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
61.  They're both yellow. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
62.  Is it the texture? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
63.  You do too like cheese, Bill. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
64.  I've seen you eat it. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
65.  No, I don't. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
66.  Remember A Tale of Two Cities? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
67.  Dickens? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
68.  Well, I'm in the middle
of rereading it and it... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
69.  Peggy, you've
seen Bill eat cheese. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
70.  Why won't you
take my word for this? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
71.  Cream cheese is cheese, Bill. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
72.  No, it's not.
It's butter. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
73.  And if I'm in your book club 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
74.  I can assure you 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
75.  you'll never have to worry about 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
76.  long awkward pauses. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
77.  Well, what do you think? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
78.  If it were up to me,
I'd... think about it. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
79.  But they only invite me 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
80.  because I give them
a discount on their books. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
81.  And I'm closing the store
soon to retire anyway. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
82.  My lease is up. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
83.  Retiring? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
84.  Everybody keeps saying,
"Leave Arlen?" 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
85.  But I've always wanted to spend 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
86.  my later years someplace
where it's nice and cold 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
87.  all year round. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
88.  $600 a month for five years? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
89.  I don't know. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
90.  Hank, I really need 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
91.  to be around people
who love books. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
92.  I will do all the work
all you have to do is cosign 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
93.  as you are the one
with an income 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
94.  and the house is in your name. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
95.  Oh, please, Hank. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
96.  I will be raking in
money with one hand 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
97.  and reading my book for
the book club with the other. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
98.  Oh, Hank! 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
99.  My sacred mission 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
100.  to bring literature
to Arlen is now yours. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
101.  Oh, wait, wait. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
102.  One last thing. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
103.  When do I start
to attend the book club? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
104.  Oh, well, the next meeting
isn't for a couple of weeks. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
105.  I'm sure they'll stop by. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
106.  The best of luck to you, dear. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
107.  Okay, this is it. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
108.  Show time. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
109.  Show time. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
110.  Hello there, ma'am. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
111.  We're here to support our local
bookseller and buy some books. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
112.  Well, thank you,
handsome patron. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
113.  Bobby, why don't you go look
in the adventure section. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
114.  Anything about a boy with
gumption should be fine. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
115.  "Clea, Huntress of Dragonvale. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
116.  Part the Fifth of
the Elves of Evermore Series." 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
117.  Huh. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
118.  You're listening to Peru Today 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
119.  on listener supported
public radio. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
120.  So, how's the... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
121.  Fantastic. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
122.  Best decision I ever
made in my life. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
123.  Good night, Hank. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
124.  Oh, Dale. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
125.  So this is a book store. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
126.  Smells boring. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
127.  Mm, have you thought about
putting saw dust on the floor? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
128.  I'm getting apple everywhere. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
129.  I'm sorry, Dale 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
130.  but this store is reserved
for customers and literati. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
131.  So, why don't you
take your apple... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
132.  It's a Braeburn. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
133.  And get out? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
134.  Okay. Wait. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
135.  I am a customer. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
136.  I'd like your
thickest book, please. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
137.  Here's The Odyssey. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
138.  It's thick, it's old,
it's Greek. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
139.  This looks promising. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
140.  Nih, nih, nih. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
141.  What the hell are you doing? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
142.  I can't hide a gun inside it 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
143.  without hollowing it out. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
144.  Unless you have some precuts? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
145.  Pardon me, ma'am but can you 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
146.  give me four quarters
for a dollar? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
147.  No, I'm sorry. I have a sign. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
148.  Hey, how much
for the 1911-A-1? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
149.  This baby is yours for, oh... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
150.  300 dollars American. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
151.  Sold. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
152.  Dale, you cannot sell
a firearm in my bookstore. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
153.  I know, I know. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
154.  You want your house cut. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
155.  20% to the madame. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
156.  Madame, $60.00. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
157.  In theory, I reject this money. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
158.  It is only in practice
that I accept it. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
159.  You know, this is a perfect
gun selling location. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
160.  So, how 'bout it, Peggy? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
161.  Can I sell guns
in this location? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
162.  I've got literally
oodles of guns at home... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
163.  Thank you for shopping
at Peggy's World of Books. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
164.  Oh, thank you so much
for eating my free cookies. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
165.  Hello, I just came by to see... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
166.  Laura, thank goodness
you're here. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
167.  I have only made one sale
in the past three days 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
168.  and that was just
a greeting card. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
169.  Peggy, this has never been
a high-volume business. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
170.  But the lease,
I mean, how did you... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
171.  Oh, the executor
of my parents' estate 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
172.  sent a check every month 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
173.  interest from some such account. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
174.  I never quite followed it. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
175.  But you shouldn't 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
176.  concern yourself with that. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
177.  We worship the written word,
not the almighty dollar, yes? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
178.  Oh, well, yes, of course. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
179.  And worse comes to worst 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
180.  you just get your husband
to write a check, right? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
181.  I'm taking one of the Joyces. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
182.  Good morning. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
183.  Word to the wise, we have 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
184.  a new collection of
Barbara Kingsolver's stories 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
185.  that is her best in years. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
186.  Guns, I suppose. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
187.  Yes, ma'am. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
188.  Straight in back. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
189.  You know, we have
a book called Old Yeller. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
190.  It's about a boy
who shoots a dog. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
191.  With a gun. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
192.  Welcome, gentlemen. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
193.  The Tuesday special
is Saturday Night specials. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
194.  Feel free to browse. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
195.  Uh, here at the Book and Gun 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
196.  we're trying to maintain
a certain... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
197.  What do you call it, Peggy? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
198.  Ambiance. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
199.  Right. Ambiance. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
200.  So we're having cappuccino. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
201.  That's like coffee, right? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
202.  I don't know. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
203.  Oh, and if some well-dressed
ladies come in 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
204.  you're just here
to move a piano. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
205.  What you reading there, son? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
206.  Sports page. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
207.  The sports page. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
208.  Well, all right, Bobby. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
209.  How's the Cowboy's defense...

			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
213.  I told you to get
an adventure book. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
214.  But it is adventure. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
215.  "The Elf-Lord Fylfendell knelt
upon the bed of dandelions.

218.  Bobby, television.

219.  Uh... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
220.  I'm going to go with, uh...

			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
222.  Gih! 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
223.  Morning, officer. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
224.  Do you have a
license to sell guns, sir? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
225.  What I sell is a lifestyle. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
226.  A life style free from... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
227.  Books! 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
228.  We sell books here. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
229.  The guns are simply
a promotional give-away. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
230.  Yeah. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
231.  Okay, as long as everybody
leaves this store with a book.

235.  Dale, Glock. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
236.  Oh, I been looking
for this little girl. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
237.  Sometimes the boys like
to go down in the basement 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
238.  and test their piece. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
239.  But don't worry,
I shut off the gas valve. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
240.  Well, shot off the gas valve. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
241.  Oh, my God... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
242.  it's the freakin' book club! 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
243.  You get your skinny butt
down to the basement 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
244.  and pass out the silencers. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
245.  Peggy, hello. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
246.  It certainly is an... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
247.  interesting atmosphere 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
248.  you've cultivated. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
249.  So, the sign says
you're selling guns now? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
250.  Oh, the sign. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
251.  That old thing. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
252.  You know, the "T" fell off. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
253.  It's really
supposed to say "gunst." 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
254.  Surely you didn't
come here today 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
255.  for, for gunst. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
256.  Enjoy. Good reading. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
257.  Yes, well,
these good people are here 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
258.  from a historical
reenactment club. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
259.  Today we are doing "America
in the Time of Whitman." 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
260.  What was that? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
261.  Merely the anvil
of the village smithy. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
262.  Making horseshoes, no doubt. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
263.  Yes, well, we've come to
place our monthly order 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
264.  for the book club selection

265.  Nora Harmony Wallace, of course. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
266.  A chronicle of three generations
of an American family. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
267.  I always wondered why nobody's
ever done that before. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
268.  Uh, do you have any peroxide
and a clean towel? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
269.  I just shot my dang hand. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
270.  Oh, well, oh, okay. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
271.  The, uh, Confederate doctors
will be here shortly 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
272.  to give you ether
and saw off your arm. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
273.  Actors. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
274.  Say, why don't you come
to the meeting yourself? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
275.  To the book club? Really? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
276.  And bring your
husband if you like. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
277.  The club is mostly couples. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
278.  Oh, yeah! 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
279.  Ankle holsters all
around on the house! 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
280.  All right! 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
281.  Hank, we are going
to the book club. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
282.  Read this by Friday. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
283.  You are excused 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
284.  from emptying the garbage 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
285.  till this is done. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
286.  And no TV. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
287.  You won't let me read a book
that I want. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
288.  Mom makes you read a book
that you don't want. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
289.  That's what the elves call 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
290.  "Justice of
the Unicorn." 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
291.  Turns out the first two chapters
were a dream. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
292.  I'm not sure I trust this lady. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
293.  And what do you make of this? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
294.  Every time she cooks dinner
for her father, she cries. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
295.  But it's not always onions. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
296.  Yeah, man, see, now,
my dang ol' father 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
297.  he gon' symbolize the past, man 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
298.  and ol' dinner gon' be,
like, the future, you know? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
299.  So, you're talkin' 'bout stuck
in the present, you know? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
300.  Just like dang ol'
English class, man. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
301.  I had onions
for dinner last night. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
302.  You can get a pound
for 49 cents. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
303.  "As the ambulance pulled away 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
304.  "Cassie remembered
the smell of onions 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
305.  from her grandmother's kitchen." 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
306.  The End. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
307.  Joe Jack, you awake? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
308.  I got half a mind
to go to Nova Scotia 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
309.  and kick that Benedict's ass,
honey. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
310.  Boy, that Cassie
reminds me of someone. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
311.  Hey, how big did you guys
picture herta-tas? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
312.  It said she was slender as
a willow, so... grapefruits? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
313.  Come on, let's go. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
314.  If we stay in the truck too long 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
315.  people are going to
think we're making out. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
316.  All right, Kafka, Kafka...
born 1883, wore glasses 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
317.  burdened by father,
loved to sleep in. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
318.  Yes! Peggy,
you are ready. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
319.  Now, if I tug my earlobe
like this 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
320.  just casually say
that you understood 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
321.  what the author
was going for, but... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
322.  Then just trail off like that. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
323.  I told him,
"Mister, you may be on retainer 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
324.  "but if you retain your hand
on my thigh like that 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
325.  I will bite it off
and bill you for my time." 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
326.  Mm-hmm. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
327.  That is exactly
like the scene at dinner 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
328.  where Cassie confronts
the hotel manager, yes? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
329.  Honey, I couldn't get past
Chapter Three. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
330.  That writer
was trying way to hard 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
331.  to be Isabel Allende
for my blood. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
332.  Great reference. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
333.  Isabel Allende,
Chilean authoress born 1942. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
334.  My source... the Internet. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
335.  So, you say it's both efficient
and clean burning? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
336.  Fascinating. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
337.  Oh, Hank, there you are. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
338.  I was just wondering
if you men had noticed 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
339.  the subtle change of
perspective in Book Two 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
340.  the way the women have. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
341.  Book... Two. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
342.  Uh, fellas, this
is my wife, Peggy. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
343.  Delighted to meet you. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
344.  Is... is your ear all right,
Mrs. Hill? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
345.  I, uh, understood what
the author was going for. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
346.  Uh... in the book, there. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
347.  So, Mary Ellen, we had
just a marvelous time. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
348.  I cannot wait to see
you at the next meeting. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
349.  I was going to suggest we read 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
350.  The Dust Gatherers
by Nobel laureate Mkozi Mputha. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
351.  Well, actually... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
352.  I'm afraid this is the very
last book club meeting. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
353.  Scheduling nightmare, you know. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
354.  The last meeting? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
355.  No, no! 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
356.  We can't let this die. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
357.  Why, I could drive everyone. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
358.  Where does everyone live? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
359.  I'm sorry, Peggy. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
360.  But I'm so glad
you were able to come 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
361.  for the final, final,
last meeting. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
362.  I can't believe it. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
363.  What am I going to do
with my weekends now? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
364.  Except watch sports. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
365.  Oh, well. Peggy? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
366.  Hold on, Hank. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
367.  I need to use their powder room. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
368.  Maybe it's the ten cups of coffee
I drank to stay sharp for this. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
369.  I'll get the truck. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
370.  Oh... The New Yorker. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
371.  I guess it's my fault. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
372.  She gave us such a big discount 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
373.  I felt I had to invite her. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
374.  Who knew she'd be
such a windbag? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
375.  As Cassie said 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
376.  while the farmhouse
burned brightly behind her 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
377.  "I am an onion." 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
378.  Good day to you. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
379.  Surely as I am Clea 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
380.  and the Crystal of Gilmarrion
shines upon my brow 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
381.  our forces shall rally
and vanquish the Goblin horde. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
382.  What say ye, Hindbottom? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
383.  Aye, my fell axe thirsts
for Goblin blood 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
384.  to avenge my father Borak 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
385.  my swift brother
Rigmar Talon-beard, my cousin... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
386.  Dang it, Bobby. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
387.  No more elves at the table. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
388.  Your mom
isn't feeling well, and... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
389.  No, no, I'm fine. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
390.  All right, Dale, I am coming! 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
391.  Great... time for work. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
392.  No rest for the windbag. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
393.  Thank you. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
394.  Please come again. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
395.  Oh, I got that one yesterday 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
396.  with my last gun. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
397.  Oh, my God,
how many guns do you need? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
398.  Thank you, come again. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
399.  Peggy, would you
wipe the fingerprints off this 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
400.  and wrap it, please? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
401.  I've come to take
the local book sellerto lunch. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
402.  Heh... uh, Peggy? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
403.  Pull! 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
404.  What the hell? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
405.  Peggy? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
406.  Dad. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
407.  Well, look who's here. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
408.  Shopping for my birthday? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
409.  Get me something
that shoots like this. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
410.  Die! 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
411.  Excellent grouping, Colonel. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
412.  Plus, those hollow-points
penetrated Shakespeare 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
413.  all the way into
the so-called "Joyous Comedies." 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
414.  As You Like it? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
415.  Well, I like it plenty. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
416.  Dang it, Dale, where is my wife? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
417.  Mmm, probably
on one of her smoking breaks. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
418.  I try not to keep her
on too tight of a leash. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
419.  Peggy? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
420.  What are you doing down there? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
421.  Nothing. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
422.  Seems to be my mission in life. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
423.  No, your mission
was about books... 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
424.  elves and onions and such. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
425.  Look at this. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
426.  Now, I'm not much in the
Shakespeare department 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
427.  but I still don't think
he deserves to be shot at 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
428.  by those monkeys down there. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
429.  And A Tale of Two Cities? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
430.  I thought that was
your favorite book. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
431.  And so, a farewell to
A Farewell to Arms. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
432.  Dale, your services at
Peggy's World of Books 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
433.  are terminated as of now. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
434.  Get out. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
435.  You can't do that. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
436.  I can, and I will. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
437.  My name is the
name on the lease. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
438.  This is Peggy's World. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
439.  You just rent space in it. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
440.  Here's the key to the Dumpster. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
441.  If you don't lock it,
the winos sleep in it. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
442.  They are not winos. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
443.  They are my customers,
loyal customers. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
444.  I'm looking for the lady
who ran the gun store. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
445.  She's out of business. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
446.  She's been referring
people to Ammo World 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
447.  or Crazy Jerry's. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
448.  I just wanted to know
if the first two chapters 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
449.  were really a dream or not. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
450.  Yeah, I wondered that myself. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
451.  Travis makes an excellent point. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
452.  Cassie's lighthouse
can symbolize hope 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
453.  but who's to say
it doesn't also symbolize 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
454.  the government's intrusion 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
455.  into the lives
of private citizens 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
456.  as suggested by our friend here 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
457.  who won't give us his name. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
458.  Cassie's grandpa wouldn't
give her an evil lighthouse. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
459.  Very good point, Muskrat. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
460.  Any responses? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
461.  Well, can't we at least agree 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
462.  that Mary-Elizabeth's baby
was her own lighthouse? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
463.  Whoever heard of an
illegitimate lighthouse? 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
464.  Got-dang it, Ox,
you're confusing realism 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
465.  with symbolism again. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
466.  I'm about to
symbolize my gun to your head. 
			  
			Copy !req 
			
		
	
		
			
467.  Ripped By mstoll 
			  
			Copy !req

Ambiance.
