Julie: [referring to Larry’s movie “Sour Grapes”] I enjoyed it. It was interesting. It was such a perfect length.
Larry: That’s my specialty, length.
Julie: Well, I thought it was a good length

“Because we don’t know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really.

Thompson
