1
00:00:30,096 --> 00:00:32,929
Sorry I'm late.
Bit of a hectic morning.
2
00:00:35,101 --> 00:00:37,592
Although, sometimes
when people are in conflict
3
00:00:37,771 --> 00:00:39,636
and they're left alone together,
4
00:00:39,806 --> 00:00:42,434
they tend to
work things out themselves.
5
00:00:46,179 --> 00:00:47,874
Okey-doke.
Let's jump right in then.
6
00:00:48,848 --> 00:00:51,544
I understand there's some
tension between the two of you.
7
00:00:52,652 --> 00:00:54,643
Biggs, you wanna tell us
what's the matter?
8
00:00:54,821 --> 00:00:56,652
Actually, why don't you
let her talk first?
9
00:00:56,823 --> 00:00:58,814
You'll find out what
the problem is pretty quick.
10
00:00:59,993 --> 00:01:01,392
I didn't come here
to be insulted.
11
00:01:01,561 --> 00:01:03,995
I came to be vindicated.
So you know what? I will start.
12
00:01:05,331 --> 00:01:06,958
You know why
this relationship went wrong?
13
00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:08,623
'Cause my supposed best friend
14
00:01:08,802 --> 00:01:10,235
turned his back on me
in my time of need.
15
00:01:10,403 --> 00:01:12,997
Your entire life
is a time of need.
16
00:01:14,407 --> 00:01:15,396
See what he does?
17
00:01:15,575 --> 00:01:16,906
He pecks away at my self-esteem.
18
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:18,908
Then I start thinking that
I'm the problem.
19
00:01:21,114 --> 00:01:22,411
You are the problem.
20
00:01:22,582 --> 00:01:23,708
Okay. Okay.
21
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:27,048
Biggs, I'm hearing
a lot of anger from you.
22
00:01:27,220 --> 00:01:29,688
See? You're the problem.
Check and mate.
23
00:01:29,856 --> 00:01:30,845
We're not done here yet.
24
00:01:31,057 --> 00:01:32,183
All right, then just "check."
25
00:01:34,094 --> 00:01:36,221
Look, I was ready to put
all this behind us
26
00:01:36,396 --> 00:01:39,092
until he bailed on me
and requested a new partner.
27
00:01:39,265 --> 00:01:40,892
That's because you bailed on me
as a friend.
28
00:01:41,067 --> 00:01:43,001
Time after time,
you put everyone else first.
29
00:01:43,169 --> 00:01:44,659
Hey, I was a great friend.
30
00:01:44,838 --> 00:01:46,499
Until you weren't.
31
00:01:51,344 --> 00:01:54,245
Carl, what do you want from me?
32
00:01:55,181 --> 00:01:57,172
An apology would be nice.
33
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:01,553
You made me feel like
I was nothing to you.
34
00:02:05,091 --> 00:02:06,718
Okay, fine.
35
00:02:06,893 --> 00:02:11,296
Carl, if I made you feel
that way, I'm sorry.
36
00:02:18,238 --> 00:02:19,227
Apology not accepted.
37
00:02:19,405 --> 00:02:20,429
What?
38
00:02:21,207 --> 00:02:23,072
Well, I got what I wanted.
You admitted you were wrong.
39
00:02:23,243 --> 00:02:24,232
I didn't admit anything!
40
00:02:24,410 --> 00:02:26,571
Then why did you apologize?
Your Honor, I rest my case.
41
00:02:26,746 --> 00:02:28,941
Let the record show
he can kiss my ass!
42
00:02:31,651 --> 00:02:34,119
Boy, he's a bit of
a drama queen, isn't he?
43
00:02:35,088 --> 00:02:37,022
Why couldn't you say that
when he was in here?
44
00:02:37,390 --> 00:02:38,721
I don't like conflict.
45
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Ripped & Corrected By mstoll
46
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:14,090
Mom, please close your robe.
47
00:03:15,595 --> 00:03:18,155
Oh, relax. I was just saying
hi to the new neighbors.
48
00:03:19,065 --> 00:03:22,466
Peggy, we wrote a book,
we have to publicize it.
49
00:03:22,635 --> 00:03:24,660
You can't just
keep blowing me off.
50
00:03:25,805 --> 00:03:26,794
Uh-huh.
51
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,907
Yeah, I may not be
that religious,
52
00:03:29,075 --> 00:03:31,600
but I happen to know there's
no such thing as Ash Monday.
53
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:36,106
Radio station. Tomorrow.
Just be there.
54
00:03:36,282 --> 00:03:37,544
She's not gonna be there.
55
00:03:38,551 --> 00:03:40,985
Who cares?
Just do the interview yourself.
56
00:03:41,154 --> 00:03:43,019
I can't. It's her story.
57
00:03:43,189 --> 00:03:45,384
Which you had to listen to
hour after hour
58
00:03:45,558 --> 00:03:46,820
and somehow make sense of.
59
00:03:46,993 --> 00:03:48,927
Yeah, you've earned
this spotlight.
60
00:03:49,095 --> 00:03:50,926
She may have been abused
by an alcoholic father
61
00:03:51,097 --> 00:03:52,086
on a run-down farm,
62
00:03:52,265 --> 00:03:53,732
but you're the one who suffered.
63
00:03:55,535 --> 00:03:56,763
You know, you're not wrong.
64
00:03:57,971 --> 00:04:00,166
And sometimes, with Peggy,
less is more.
65
00:04:00,340 --> 00:04:02,308
I mean, she's like
the shark in Jaws.
66
00:04:02,475 --> 00:04:04,909
At least that's the music I hear
when she's coming towards me.
67
00:04:08,214 --> 00:04:10,512
Why are all the neighbor kids
standing on the lawn?
68
00:04:13,653 --> 00:04:15,018
They are perverts.
69
00:04:17,123 --> 00:04:18,420
How'd it go with Carl?
70
00:04:18,591 --> 00:04:19,649
Total waste of time.
71
00:04:19,826 --> 00:04:22,021
I don't know
what I ever saw in Carl.
72
00:04:22,195 --> 00:04:23,389
Preach.
73
00:04:23,563 --> 00:04:24,621
Right?
74
00:04:25,365 --> 00:04:28,027
I mean, what kind of person
doesn't accept an apology?
75
00:04:28,201 --> 00:04:30,169
The same kind of person that
likes to watch you pop balloons
76
00:04:30,336 --> 00:04:32,133
with nothin' on but high heels.
77
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,338
You have different Carl issues.
78
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:39,410
No, she doesn't!
79
00:04:39,579 --> 00:04:41,672
He's selfish as a lover
and a friend.
80
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:43,509
Okay, come on.
81
00:04:43,683 --> 00:04:45,480
You know you guys are gonna
work it out.
82
00:04:45,652 --> 00:04:47,483
And if it doesn't
happen in therapy,
83
00:04:47,654 --> 00:04:49,281
you just grab a bag of balloons.
84
00:04:49,455 --> 00:04:50,752
You know what he likes.
85
00:04:52,325 --> 00:04:54,020
That's very funny,
but I don't need him anymore,
86
00:04:54,193 --> 00:04:56,161
because I got
my best friend right here.
87
00:04:56,362 --> 00:04:57,351
Aw!
88
00:04:57,530 --> 00:04:59,964
- My pal.
- Best buddies, huh?
89
00:05:01,801 --> 00:05:02,825
Yeah.
90
00:05:03,436 --> 00:05:04,664
That has gotta stop.
91
00:05:06,105 --> 00:05:07,094
What?
92
00:05:07,273 --> 00:05:09,036
I can't keep doing this
best-friend thing.
93
00:05:09,208 --> 00:05:10,800
The other day
he called me "dude."
94
00:05:11,144 --> 00:05:12,202
Was it during...
95
00:05:12,378 --> 00:05:15,313
It was right after,
but before the high five.
96
00:05:22,955 --> 00:05:24,980
I thought you can't smoke
in bars anymore.
97
00:05:25,158 --> 00:05:26,750
It's a cop bar.
You can do what you want.
98
00:05:26,926 --> 00:05:28,223
Laws do not apply.
99
00:05:28,895 --> 00:05:30,522
So everybody in here is a cop?
100
00:05:30,697 --> 00:05:31,686
Yeah, pretty much.
101
00:05:31,864 --> 00:05:34,025
I mean,
it's a place we can unwind,
102
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,464
let our guard down
and just be with our own.
103
00:05:36,636 --> 00:05:38,001
Like a gay bar.
104
00:05:39,072 --> 00:05:40,699
No, are you kiddin'?
105
00:05:40,873 --> 00:05:41,931
There's nothing gay
about these guys.
106
00:05:42,108 --> 00:05:44,975
I mean, just look at all the
leather jackets and mustaches.
107
00:05:46,579 --> 00:05:47,705
My mistake.
108
00:05:49,649 --> 00:05:52,243
For 10 years, I tied myself
to that jackass.
109
00:05:52,418 --> 00:05:54,409
You know, I put off taking
the sergeant's exam,
110
00:05:54,587 --> 00:05:55,884
so I wouldn't leave Carl behind.
111
00:05:56,055 --> 00:05:58,353
Who knows where I'd be
if I never met him?
112
00:05:58,524 --> 00:06:00,458
Sergeant? Lieutenant? Captain?
113
00:06:00,626 --> 00:06:01,991
So you gonna shoot for that now?
114
00:06:02,161 --> 00:06:04,561
It's too late. He took my youth.
115
00:06:06,999 --> 00:06:08,864
Uh-oh. Speak of the devil.
116
00:06:09,335 --> 00:06:11,360
- Oh, unbelievable.
- You want to take off?
117
00:06:11,537 --> 00:06:13,767
I got as much right to be here
as he has.
118
00:06:14,173 --> 00:06:16,038
- Hey, Mike.
- Samuel.
119
00:06:16,743 --> 00:06:17,767
I thought we agreed.
120
00:06:17,944 --> 00:06:19,434
You get the diner,
and I get The Nightstick.
121
00:06:19,612 --> 00:06:22,547
"Nightstick"? And you're sure
this isn't a gay bar?
122
00:06:24,317 --> 00:06:25,409
No big deal either way.
123
00:06:25,585 --> 00:06:27,348
I just like to know
before I go to the john.
124
00:06:28,154 --> 00:06:29,212
Look, I'm not gonna be told
125
00:06:29,389 --> 00:06:31,721
where I can and cannot go
in this city.
126
00:06:31,891 --> 00:06:32,880
Oh, yeah? That's too bad
127
00:06:33,059 --> 00:06:34,549
'cause I got one more suggestion
where you can go.
128
00:06:34,727 --> 00:06:36,024
Oh, I was already in that hell
129
00:06:36,195 --> 00:06:38,356
for 10 years,
sitting in our squad car.
130
00:06:38,531 --> 00:06:40,362
I'm sorry the Captain ever
forced me to ride with you.
131
00:06:40,533 --> 00:06:41,659
What are you talking about?
132
00:06:41,834 --> 00:06:43,267
Nobody else
wanted any part of you
133
00:06:43,436 --> 00:06:45,199
because you're
an annoying motormouth
134
00:06:45,371 --> 00:06:46,599
that nobody could stand.
135
00:06:46,773 --> 00:06:48,240
You weren't a partner.
You were a punishment.
136
00:06:48,408 --> 00:06:49,773
Okay. Okay.
137
00:06:50,209 --> 00:06:52,200
Let's relax. Have a drink.
138
00:06:52,378 --> 00:06:53,470
If you want to smoke,
139
00:06:53,646 --> 00:06:56,706
I can bum a cigarette off
Freddie Mercury over there.
140
00:06:57,917 --> 00:07:00,909
You call yourself
a police officer? Look at you.
141
00:07:01,087 --> 00:07:03,555
You're sloppy.
You're out of shape.
142
00:07:03,723 --> 00:07:05,714
You're a danger to anybody
partnered up with you.
143
00:07:05,892 --> 00:07:07,189
You're not a cop,
you're a liability.
144
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,328
- All right. We're done.
- No, I'll say when we're done.
145
00:07:09,495 --> 00:07:10,962
- And we're done!
- I said it first!
146
00:07:11,130 --> 00:07:12,495
Well, I meant it more!
147
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:21,436
I've never been
to a gay bar before.
148
00:07:21,908 --> 00:07:23,432
It's nice, right?
149
00:07:30,516 --> 00:07:35,385
Welcome to Novel Thoughts
with Allison Gutierrez-Cohen.
150
00:07:35,855 --> 00:07:38,915
I'm Allison Gutierrez-Cohen.
151
00:07:40,059 --> 00:07:41,617
Under the Shadow of the Mountain
152
00:07:41,794 --> 00:07:44,729
is an unflinching memoir
of Peggy Biggs,
153
00:07:44,897 --> 00:07:47,991
a spirited farm girl
who uses love
154
00:07:48,167 --> 00:07:51,136
to escape
the abusive bonds of her father.
155
00:07:51,304 --> 00:07:54,364
Unfortunately, Peggy Biggs
couldn't be with us,
156
00:07:54,540 --> 00:07:59,375
so sitting in is
co-author Molly Flynn.
157
00:08:00,613 --> 00:08:02,012
Welcome, Molly.
158
00:08:02,515 --> 00:08:05,109
Hello, Allison.
159
00:08:05,284 --> 00:08:08,981
It's a pleasure to be here.
160
00:08:10,356 --> 00:08:11,823
- In the book...
- Yes.
161
00:08:11,991 --> 00:08:15,154
- Peggy is such a vibrant character.
- Mmm-hmm.
162
00:08:15,561 --> 00:08:18,724
- Being allowed into her process...
- Mmm.
163
00:08:20,633 --> 00:08:22,066
What a privilege.
164
00:08:23,503 --> 00:08:26,666
You say privilege, I say potato.
165
00:08:33,212 --> 00:08:37,649
Writing has always been
intrinsic to my being.
166
00:08:37,817 --> 00:08:41,048
And I would hate
to be the one to say
167
00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:46,385
a gift given by God,
but I do have to thank someone.
168
00:08:49,996 --> 00:08:52,430
I'm sorry.
What was your question again?
169
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,999
I didn't ask one yet.
170
00:08:56,302 --> 00:08:58,862
Wonderful. Wonderful.
171
00:08:59,038 --> 00:09:02,064
We writers are always
seeking the question
172
00:09:02,241 --> 00:09:04,903
that has not yet been asked.
173
00:09:05,945 --> 00:09:09,574
So I hope that does
answer your question.
174
00:09:10,816 --> 00:09:13,478
Still haven't asked one.
175
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:16,984
Fantastic.
176
00:09:17,156 --> 00:09:18,646
Let's go to those phones.
177
00:09:20,526 --> 00:09:22,790
We don't take calls.
178
00:09:26,899 --> 00:09:28,389
May I make a call?
179
00:09:34,974 --> 00:09:35,963
You know, I just want to say,
180
00:09:36,142 --> 00:09:37,473
my old partner
really did a number on me,
181
00:09:37,643 --> 00:09:39,270
so if I do call you "Mike"
by accident,
182
00:09:39,445 --> 00:09:41,538
don't take offense.
I'm fully committed to us.
183
00:09:42,214 --> 00:09:43,772
Listen, why don't we
cut to the chase
184
00:09:43,950 --> 00:09:45,542
and deal with the elephant
in the room?
185
00:09:45,718 --> 00:09:46,980
What's the problem, Mike?
186
00:09:48,087 --> 00:09:50,317
Geez, I didn't think
I'd do it that soon.
187
00:09:51,557 --> 00:09:54,492
Don't get me wrong,
I'm very open-minded.
188
00:09:54,660 --> 00:09:56,252
I like you people.
189
00:09:59,632 --> 00:10:01,395
I hope
you're talking about Scorpios.
190
00:10:02,301 --> 00:10:05,065
Whatever you're calling
yourselves these days.
191
00:10:05,237 --> 00:10:06,704
I don't mind it.
192
00:10:06,872 --> 00:10:09,466
Believe me, I came this close
to voting for Obama.
193
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,202
And who doesn't
love Michael Jordan?
194
00:10:12,378 --> 00:10:13,902
He's one of the good ones.
195
00:10:14,647 --> 00:10:17,480
I mean, I don't think I want
the man living next door to me.
196
00:10:17,650 --> 00:10:19,049
It's not him, mind you,
197
00:10:19,218 --> 00:10:21,413
it's the people
he brings around.
198
00:10:21,887 --> 00:10:23,115
Who? Scottie Pippen?
199
00:10:24,190 --> 00:10:27,318
My point is, I'm okay with
all this mixing of the races.
200
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:29,525
As long as it's not next door.
201
00:10:29,729 --> 00:10:30,718
Exactly.
202
00:10:30,896 --> 00:10:32,488
I'm glad we're on the same page.
203
00:10:36,302 --> 00:10:38,395
Ooh! That's gonna stain.
204
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:40,732
Glad you weren't wearing
your white sheet.
205
00:10:44,977 --> 00:10:48,469
Oh, don't be upset about it, honey.
Nobody listens to NPR.
206
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:50,343
Well, nobody I know.
207
00:10:51,117 --> 00:10:52,709
No, I haven't met
my new partner.
208
00:10:52,885 --> 00:10:54,546
From what I hear,
she's a real-deal cop.
209
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,017
Very professional.
210
00:10:56,956 --> 00:10:58,821
Yes, I brought her the cookies.
211
00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:00,853
Yeah, but I wanna play it cool.
212
00:11:01,027 --> 00:11:02,995
Maybe I'll give them to her
around snack time.
213
00:11:03,162 --> 00:11:04,720
Oh. Here she comes. I gotta go.
214
00:11:08,401 --> 00:11:10,130
- Biggs.
- Stoltz.
215
00:11:10,302 --> 00:11:12,532
Listen, if this
partnership's gonna work,
216
00:11:12,705 --> 00:11:14,002
we gotta lay down
a few ground rules.
217
00:11:14,173 --> 00:11:15,868
Boundaries. I like you already.
218
00:11:17,009 --> 00:11:18,237
Sorry.
219
00:11:19,178 --> 00:11:21,612
First off,
I keep a clean vehicle.
220
00:11:21,781 --> 00:11:23,510
This is a squad car,
not a lunch room.
221
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:24,877
- No eating.
- Got it.
222
00:11:25,051 --> 00:11:27,019
However, I do have
low blood sugar.
223
00:11:27,186 --> 00:11:29,518
I can step outside
to have my string cheese.
224
00:11:30,756 --> 00:11:32,986
Second,
let's keep it professional.
225
00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:35,889
You don't bitch about your wife,
I don't bitch about mine.
226
00:11:36,062 --> 00:11:37,051
You mean "husband".
227
00:11:38,464 --> 00:11:40,125
You don't mean "husband".
228
00:11:40,299 --> 00:11:41,527
You got a problem with that?
229
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:43,396
Nope. I'm very open-minded.
230
00:11:43,569 --> 00:11:45,901
Came this close
to voting for Obama.
231
00:11:47,473 --> 00:11:48,804
Hey, where's the shotgun?
232
00:11:48,974 --> 00:11:50,839
Oh, in the trunk.
It's safer that way.
233
00:11:51,010 --> 00:11:53,979
For who?
The dirtbags rolling up on us?
234
00:11:54,246 --> 00:11:55,907
Unbelievable.
235
00:12:00,486 --> 00:12:01,680
Molly, it's not a good time.
236
00:12:01,854 --> 00:12:04,254
I'll call you at lunch.
If we get a lunch.
237
00:12:04,423 --> 00:12:05,822
She's kind of mean.
238
00:12:09,662 --> 00:12:11,630
Wanna secure that
in your cookie holder?
239
00:12:12,198 --> 00:12:14,723
I'm sorry.
I did not know the rules yet.
240
00:12:22,274 --> 00:12:24,139
- Need some help?
- No, I do not.
241
00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:25,538
And just so we're clear,
242
00:12:25,711 --> 00:12:27,474
I've been on the force
a lot longer than you,
243
00:12:27,646 --> 00:12:28,806
and I know what I'm doing.
244
00:12:28,981 --> 00:12:30,915
So don't talk down to me
like I'm some rookie.
245
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:32,414
- You got it?
- Got it.
246
00:12:32,585 --> 00:12:33,950
Good.
247
00:12:42,294 --> 00:12:44,626
Yeah, it's still
not a good time.
248
00:12:52,671 --> 00:12:54,400
Mike, you're gonna be late.
249
00:12:54,573 --> 00:12:57,371
I'm taking a sick day.
Maybe a sick month.
250
00:12:57,543 --> 00:12:59,602
Come on. The longer you avoid
going in to work,
251
00:12:59,779 --> 00:13:00,837
it's just gonna get worse.
252
00:13:01,013 --> 00:13:03,607
They're calling me
"Moonroof Mike."
253
00:13:05,117 --> 00:13:06,550
Ah, that's nice. Real nice.
254
00:13:06,719 --> 00:13:08,118
What? It's cute.
255
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:10,585
It means they like you.
You're one of the gang.
256
00:13:10,890 --> 00:13:13,188
Most of 'em won't even make
eye contact with me.
257
00:13:13,359 --> 00:13:16,021
You know what that is?
That's a sign of respect.
258
00:13:16,195 --> 00:13:17,924
At least it is with gorillas.
259
00:13:18,364 --> 00:13:19,956
Not helping.
260
00:13:22,635 --> 00:13:25,604
I think somebody needs
one of my special stories.
261
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:26,794
I don't.
262
00:13:27,072 --> 00:13:29,006
Yeah, you do. Roll over.
263
00:13:30,109 --> 00:13:31,133
Okay.
264
00:13:31,977 --> 00:13:33,877
The year was 1989.
265
00:13:34,046 --> 00:13:35,172
There was a young ambitious girl
266
00:13:35,347 --> 00:13:37,679
in a summer job at Pepe's Tacos.
267
00:13:37,850 --> 00:13:40,375
Was this girl the youngest
assistant manager
268
00:13:40,553 --> 00:13:42,077
ever to work for the franchise?
269
00:13:42,254 --> 00:13:43,243
Yes, she was.
270
00:13:43,422 --> 00:13:45,822
- But that's not what we're...
- Just tell it.
271
00:13:46,158 --> 00:13:47,591
I was closing up one night,
272
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,126
I left a cup
under the soda machine.
273
00:13:50,296 --> 00:13:52,127
It ran until morning.
274
00:13:53,933 --> 00:13:55,457
Do you know what they called me?
275
00:13:56,268 --> 00:13:57,633
They called me "Bubbles."
276
00:13:59,438 --> 00:14:00,962
Did it hurt? Yeah, you bet.
277
00:14:01,941 --> 00:14:04,068
Did I lay in bed all day?
No, siree.
278
00:14:04,243 --> 00:14:06,302
I got up and I marched in there
279
00:14:06,478 --> 00:14:07,968
and I told them that
Charlene was pregnant.
280
00:14:08,147 --> 00:14:09,842
And they forgot all about me.
281
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:15,514
Oh, so what you're saying is,
you spilled some soda
282
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:19,385
and I almost killed my partner,
and that's the same thing.
283
00:14:19,558 --> 00:14:21,082
Okay, I tried.
284
00:14:21,594 --> 00:14:24,154
If you're gonna stay home, you
gotta do the grocery shopping.
285
00:14:24,330 --> 00:14:25,354
And I need tampons.
286
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:26,657
Ah! Dude!
287
00:14:33,172 --> 00:14:34,901
Okay, you win.
288
00:14:35,341 --> 00:14:37,536
I cannot do
these interviews alone.
289
00:14:37,710 --> 00:14:38,836
That's for damn sure.
290
00:14:39,011 --> 00:14:40,069
I don't know how you did it,
291
00:14:40,246 --> 00:14:42,976
but you managed to be
too boring for NPR.
292
00:14:44,216 --> 00:14:45,843
She should have
let me take callers.
293
00:14:46,018 --> 00:14:48,316
I need an audience
to feed off their energy.
294
00:14:48,487 --> 00:14:50,216
You'll get 'em next time.
Or not.
295
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:51,617
Who cares?
296
00:14:51,790 --> 00:14:52,916
What is your problem?
297
00:14:53,092 --> 00:14:55,083
We published a book
about your life.
298
00:14:55,261 --> 00:14:56,751
I mean, doesn't it
mean anything to you?
299
00:14:56,929 --> 00:14:58,123
It means the world to me.
300
00:14:58,297 --> 00:14:59,855
Well, then go out there
and talk about it.
301
00:15:00,032 --> 00:15:01,260
This is supposed
to be the fun part.
302
00:15:01,433 --> 00:15:02,991
Why can't you just enjoy it?
303
00:15:03,168 --> 00:15:05,068
Let me tell you how God works.
304
00:15:06,505 --> 00:15:08,996
He sees you loving life
a little too much,
305
00:15:09,174 --> 00:15:10,573
he'll find a way to humble you.
306
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:12,404
Might be a flat tire,
might be a tumor,
307
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:13,943
but it's coming.
308
00:15:14,179 --> 00:15:15,168
So, what?
309
00:15:15,347 --> 00:15:17,542
You're just never gonna enjoy
anything ever again?
310
00:15:17,816 --> 00:15:19,340
Mmm. Haven't yet.
311
00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:22,550
Pride goeth before the fall.
312
00:15:22,721 --> 00:15:25,747
Good times will keep on rolling
as long as I'm miserable.
313
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:28,954
Okay.
314
00:15:30,195 --> 00:15:31,321
Okay.
315
00:15:31,964 --> 00:15:34,125
I know what's going on here.
316
00:15:35,634 --> 00:15:37,932
Somebody needs
one of my special stories.
317
00:15:39,238 --> 00:15:40,762
This one's about a little girl
318
00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:43,738
who suffered
a lifetime's worth of misery,
319
00:15:43,909 --> 00:15:46,343
but she's been
punished enough, okay?
320
00:15:46,512 --> 00:15:49,242
The pride didn't cometh
before the fall.
321
00:15:49,415 --> 00:15:53,249
I think the fall
wenteth before the pride.
322
00:15:54,086 --> 00:15:55,951
In the story,
you're the little girl.
323
00:15:58,090 --> 00:16:00,991
You're even worse in person
than you're on the radio.
324
00:16:01,593 --> 00:16:04,027
Really?
'Cause in here I'm killing it.
325
00:16:08,267 --> 00:16:11,065
There you are, Biggs.
Just in time for the ceremony.
326
00:16:11,236 --> 00:16:12,362
What ceremony?
327
00:16:12,538 --> 00:16:14,768
You didn't hear?
You're being honored.
328
00:16:14,940 --> 00:16:16,908
Marksmanship award.
329
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:20,104
All right,
let's get this over with.
330
00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:21,576
Congratulations.
331
00:16:23,849 --> 00:16:27,046
That was a clean shooting.
That roof was coming at you.
332
00:16:28,153 --> 00:16:29,450
You had no choice.
333
00:16:30,456 --> 00:16:31,980
Congratulations, Moonroof.
334
00:16:33,225 --> 00:16:35,022
All right,
everybody get their shots in.
335
00:16:35,194 --> 00:16:37,526
Should we do that here,
or in your car?
336
00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:42,065
That's great.
Everybody is so funny.
337
00:16:43,135 --> 00:16:44,363
All right, look.
I've had enough of this.
338
00:16:44,536 --> 00:16:45,628
Let's get out of here.
339
00:16:45,804 --> 00:16:47,237
Don't take this
the wrong way, Biggs,
340
00:16:47,406 --> 00:16:49,237
but I already talked
to the Captain.
341
00:16:49,408 --> 00:16:50,875
I'm not riding with you anymore.
342
00:16:51,043 --> 00:16:52,510
What are you talking about?
It was an accident.
343
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:54,612
I told you we should have
kept the shotgun in the trunk.
344
00:16:54,780 --> 00:16:55,838
You tell her, Moonroof.
345
00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:57,107
Shut up.
346
00:16:58,984 --> 00:16:59,973
Look, Biggs,
347
00:17:00,152 --> 00:17:02,245
out there I need a partner
who's gonna watch my back,
348
00:17:02,421 --> 00:17:04,218
not accidentally shoot me in it.
349
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:06,988
Fine. Don't be my partner.
350
00:17:07,493 --> 00:17:09,688
I'm sure I can find someone
who'll ride with me.
351
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:10,851
Really?
352
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:14,090
Show of hands, who wants to ride
shotgun with Biggs?
353
00:17:17,603 --> 00:17:18,831
I will.
354
00:17:20,773 --> 00:17:22,035
Carl, you don't have to do this.
355
00:17:22,207 --> 00:17:23,401
Just let me talk.
356
00:17:25,277 --> 00:17:27,211
This man is
the best cop in here.
357
00:17:27,980 --> 00:17:29,607
Maybe not by the standards
of physical fitness
358
00:17:29,782 --> 00:17:31,147
or personal hygiene.
359
00:17:32,751 --> 00:17:34,480
But when you talk about heart,
360
00:17:34,653 --> 00:17:37,713
integrity, loyalty,
361
00:17:38,557 --> 00:17:40,286
There's no better partner.
362
00:17:40,826 --> 00:17:42,384
I can think of one.
363
00:17:44,696 --> 00:17:45,890
We had some good times, huh?
364
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:48,863
Great times.
You really wanna try again?
365
00:17:49,034 --> 00:17:50,626
We're gonna have to go
to couples' counseling.
366
00:17:52,604 --> 00:17:53,935
I'm okay with that.
367
00:17:55,140 --> 00:17:56,607
What made you change your mind?
368
00:17:57,576 --> 00:17:59,737
Been riding around with
Mississippi Burning all day.
369
00:18:04,183 --> 00:18:05,172
I get it.
370
00:18:05,384 --> 00:18:06,817
Mine has something
against cookies.
371
00:18:06,985 --> 00:18:08,680
Boy, there's a lot of hate
in the world.
372
00:18:17,629 --> 00:18:20,564
This is Author's Notes
with Robert Castle.
373
00:18:21,166 --> 00:18:22,463
I'm Robert Castle.
374
00:18:23,502 --> 00:18:26,665
With us today are
Molly Flynn and Peggy Biggs,
375
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:29,239
the co-authors
of the devastating memoir,
376
00:18:29,408 --> 00:18:31,103
Under the Shadow
of the Mountain.
377
00:18:31,276 --> 00:18:32,300
Welcome.
378
00:18:32,478 --> 00:18:33,775
Our pleasure, Robert.
379
00:18:35,347 --> 00:18:36,507
Why are you talking like that?
380
00:18:36,682 --> 00:18:39,014
I don't know. It just happens.
381
00:18:39,184 --> 00:18:41,243
So about the book.
382
00:18:41,420 --> 00:18:43,888
I think what I found
most powerful
383
00:18:44,056 --> 00:18:46,547
were the feminist themes
you touched on.
384
00:18:46,725 --> 00:18:50,354
I don't know what that's NPR
code for, but we both like men.
385
00:18:51,563 --> 00:18:52,689
Hey, while we're here,
386
00:18:52,865 --> 00:18:54,389
how the hell do I
get off your pledge list?
387
00:18:54,566 --> 00:18:56,466
I gave five bucks
eight years ago
388
00:18:56,635 --> 00:18:57,829
because I liked your tote bag.
389
00:18:58,003 --> 00:18:59,766
You've been hounding me
ever since.
390
00:19:00,706 --> 00:19:03,607
That's more a question
for our subscription department.
391
00:19:03,775 --> 00:19:05,436
Well, if they're listening,
392
00:19:05,611 --> 00:19:07,636
take me off your damn list.
393
00:19:08,747 --> 00:19:10,408
I know where your
offices are now.
394
00:19:10,582 --> 00:19:12,015
It'd be a shame
if something happened
395
00:19:12,184 --> 00:19:15,347
to all them commie electric cars
parked out front.
396
00:19:16,722 --> 00:19:19,156
Under the Shadow of the Mountain
397
00:19:19,324 --> 00:19:21,224
is available anywhere
that books are sold.
398
00:19:21,393 --> 00:19:24,294
I remember buying my first book.
399
00:19:24,463 --> 00:19:26,988
I guess I've always been
attracted to the written word.
400
00:19:27,166 --> 00:19:29,225
If there were books,
I was a-readin'.
401
00:19:29,401 --> 00:19:31,961
And if... I'm sorry,
what was your question?
402
00:19:33,272 --> 00:19:34,330
I didn't ask one.
403
00:19:34,506 --> 00:19:36,064
Wonderful.
404
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000
