Harvey Keitel owns a tobacco shop? William Hurt is the down-in-the-mouth writer? And this exchange between them, which sort of also reminds me of Yiddish stories about the righteous who quietly protect the earth:<BR/><BR/>I didn't know you took pictures.<BR/> <BR/>I guess you could call it a hobby. It doesn't take me more than about five minutes a day to do it, but I do it every day. Rain or shine, sleet or snow. Sort of like the postman.<BR/><BR/>So you're not just some guy who<BR/>pushes coins across a counter.<BR/> <BR/>That's what people see, but that ain't necessarily what I am. [shows the pictures]<BR/> <BR/>They're all the same.<BR/> <BR/>That's right. More than four thousand pictures of the same place. The corner of ?rd Street and Seventh Avenue at eight o'clock in the morning.<BR/><BR/>Four thousand straight days in all kinds of weather.<BR/><BR/>That's why I can never take a vacation. I've got to be in my spot every morning.(pause) Every morning in the same spot at the same time.<BR/><BR/>I've never seen anything like this.<BR/><BR/>It's my project. What you'd call my life's work.<BR/><BR/>[adapted from the pirate transcript at <A HREF="http://www.script-o-rama.com/" REL="nofollow">drew's script-o-rama</A>, one of my favorite hangouts on the internet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066379458312876698noreply@blogger.com
