Annie Hall
[Drafted in May]
We watched Annie Hall one Sunday afternoon. He brought his laundry over to do because I had a washer/dryer in my building. We pooled our quarters, took breaks in the film to change loads, and once dry, we dumped the warm, fresh clothes on my bed and folded together. I loved that day and I loved that movie.
"After that it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I... I realized what a terrific person she was, and... and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I... I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs."
