I'm going away. 16:26.560 --> 16:28.560 Then are you going to claim the package? 16:28.560 --> 16:30.560 Well I... 16:30.560 --> 16:32.560 I could just take your name. 16:32.560 --> 16:41.560 Oh yes, yes. That's the best way. I'll leave my name and you can make some kind of a note on the envelope that it's only to be given to me. 16:41.560 --> 16:43.560 Okay. Let's have it. 16:43.560 --> 16:44.560 What? 16:44.560 --> 16:45.560 Your name. 16:45.560 --> 16:51.560 My name. Well, you see, my name. 16:51.560 --> 16:58.560 It don't have to be your right name. It don't even have to be your name. Just write something on there so you can identify the package. 16:58.560 --> 17:02.560 Oh, oh yes. Well, let's see. 17:02.560 --> 17:16.560 Yes. Yes, I'll just write something. Something that I can remember. 17:16.560 --> 17:22.560 And always then, just as I was about to write, I'd wake up. 17:22.560 --> 17:30.560 Oh it was a wonderful dream. Even better than the ones I used to have because this dream was real. 17:30.560 --> 17:41.560 And then one night, there in my cell, something happened. I was asleep. I was dreaming again. The same dream. 17:41.560 --> 17:43.560 Your name? 17:43.560 --> 17:49.560 Oh, my name. Well, you see, my name. 17:49.560 --> 17:59.560 It don't have to be your right name. It don't even have to be your name. Just write something on there so you can identify the package. 17:59.560 --> 18:05.560 Oh, yes. Well, let me see. 18:05.560 --> 18:12.560 Yes. Yes, I'll just write something. 18:12.560 --> 18:18.560 I'll write. 18:18.560 --> 18:24.560 Henry. What was the name, Henry? 18:24.560 --> 18:29.560 What did you write, Henry? What was the name? What was the name? 18:29.560 --> 18:37.560 For a moment I lay utterly frozen with fear. I was awake, but I'd been sleeping, dreaming, talking. 18:37.560 --> 18:46.560 And he'd heard. He knew. Everything. Everything but the name. The name. 18:46.560 --> 18:53.560 What was it, Henry? What was the name, Henry? The name you wrote on the package. What was it, the name, the name? 18:53.560 --> 18:56.560 I don't know. 18:56.560 --> 19:00.560 It was kind of tossing around in your sleep. I came over to see what was the matter. 19:00.560 --> 19:02.560 Oh, was it? 19:02.560 --> 19:04.560 Yeah, I guess you were kind of having a nightmare, huh, pal? 19:04.560 --> 19:14.560 Nightmare? Yeah, yes, it was a nightmare. 19:14.560 --> 19:21.560 For a while I was afraid even to sleep. But fear I'd say out loud what I'd written on that envelope and he'd hear. 19:21.560 --> 19:33.560 And then all that I'd planned for would be gone. I knew I must force it all from my mind, as I had done with unpleasant memories when I was a child. 19:33.560 --> 19:44.560 I spoke less and less. Last I didn't even speak at all. The last two years I didn't speak at all. 19:44.560 --> 19:59.560 Even when the warden called me to his office to tell me I was once again a free man, I didn't answer him. I didn't speak at all. 19:59.560 --> 20:08.560 I was free. At last free of everything. I could hardly wait for the train to carry me back to New York. And then the pawn shop. 20:08.560 --> 20:17.560 He has the same dirty window, the same crooked steps, the same tinkling bells, all those clocks, clocks ticking time. The clocks. 20:17.560 --> 20:30.560 My dream was about to come true. And then my heart almost stopped beating. The man. That man behind the iron wicket. It wasn't the same man. 20:30.560 --> 20:31.560 Okay, well, go ahead. 20:31.560 --> 20:32.560 You're not the pawn broker. 20:32.560 --> 20:34.560 No. 20:34.560 --> 20:38.560 But he's an old man. He wore pink shirt sleeves and he's dead. 20:38.560 --> 20:39.560 What? 20:39.560 --> 20:42.560 You're talking about my father. He died three years ago. 20:42.560 --> 20:45.560 Dad. 20:45.560 --> 20:46.560 But you're his son. 20:46.560 --> 20:47.560 Yes. 20:47.560 --> 20:49.560 Then you're carrying on the business. 20:49.560 --> 20:51.560 Yes. 20:51.560 --> 21:00.560 Look, I, I left the package here four years ago. I told your father that I... 21:00.560 --> 21:01.560 Got the receipt? 21:01.560 --> 21:03.560 No, I didn't take one. 21:03.560 --> 21:04.560 No, but we don't... 21:04.560 --> 21:17.560 I tell you, I didn't take one. See, I was going away on a dangerous trip. I was afraid I'd lose it. So your father said it would be enough to give him a name. He wrote a note on the package. 21:17.560 --> 21:18.560 What was the package like? 21:18.560 --> 21:23.560 Well, it was a brown envelope. Oh, but so big and sealed with red wax. 21:23.560 --> 21:25.560 Oh, yeah, yeah. I remember seeing that. Hold on a minute. 21:25.560 --> 21:29.560 Well, your father said it wouldn't have any trouble. He said I'd just have to mention the name, you know. 21:29.560 --> 21:31.560 Yeah, yeah. That's what it says here on the envelope. 21:31.560 --> 21:32.560 Oh, that's good. Can I have it, please? 21:32.560 --> 21:33.560 Sure, just give me the name. 21:33.560 --> 21:37.560 Of course. The name... 21:37.560 --> 21:40.560 The name is... 21:40.560 --> 21:48.560 Funny, isn't it? I just thought about it for a minute. Isn't that silly? I just can't remember it for a minute. 21:48.560 --> 21:50.560 You're sure this is your envelope? 21:50.560 --> 21:57.560 Of course it is. I told you what it looked like, didn't I? I described it perfectly, didn't I? Wide, brown envelope, sealed with red wax. Look, go on. 21:57.560 --> 22:02.560 What about the name? I mean, what's written here? 22:02.560 --> 22:09.560 Now, listen, you must know it's mine. You must know that envelope belongs to me. You must give it to me. 22:09.560 --> 22:13.560 Oh, I must, must I? What's in it? 22:13.560 --> 22:15.560 What difference does that make? 22:15.560 --> 22:18.560 If you know so much about it, you ought to know what's in it. 22:18.560 --> 22:21.560 Now, listen, that's my envelope. Give it to me. 22:21.560 --> 22:30.560 Look, bud, don't tell me what to do. The note here says not to give it to anybody unless the name is presented. Now, what's the name? 22:30.560 --> 22:31.560 It's... 22:31.560 --> 22:33.560 It's so long. 22:33.560 --> 22:34.560 No, no, look... 22:34.560 --> 22:36.560 No name, no envelope. 22:36.560 --> 22:39.560 I'll remember it in just a second. Please, will you? 22:39.560 --> 22:42.560 Why don't you go outside? Maybe the air will help. 22:42.560 --> 22:43.560 No, but wait... 22:43.560 --> 22:44.560 Go on, outside. 22:44.560 --> 22:45.560 Please, will you? 22:45.560 --> 22:46.560 Go on, beat it. 22:46.560 --> 22:54.560 All right, but I'll be back. I'll be back. That's my package. I'll remember and I'll be back. I'll be back. 23:00.560 --> 23:07.560 I wandered through the streets. I beat my head with my fists trying to remember. While I was in prison, I'd forgotten it. 23:07.560 --> 23:09.560 I'd made myself forget it. 23:09.560 --> 23:21.560 Now I couldn't remember. Names raced through my mind, but none of them were right. I began running, looking at names in the street, on the shops, anywhere I could see them. 23:21.560 --> 23:23.560 Names, names, names... 23:23.560 --> 23:24.560 Boss of B.D.
