I'd just gotten off work and I'd gotten a call from a friend who wanted to see me.

It was 5.46 p.m. when I got to my apartment house.

Apartment 12.

Hi, Joe.

Oh, Ed.

Just getting ready to go in.

Come on

in.

Got you.

Go ahead.

Thanks.

Sit down.

You got a date or something? No, no, it's all right.

I just thought I'd get something to eat and maybe take in the show.

What do you want to see me about? It's about Gary, Joe.

Your boy? Yeah, I don't know quite how to say it.

You know, you sounded pretty upset on the phone, Ed.

I was, Joe.

I still am.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

Well, come on.

What's it all about? It's all I can do to keep my hands off of him.

I never felt like that with anybody before, but I did with Gary.

I wanted to strangle him.

All right.
