the thought of leaving
my obituary to chance

Yes.

I understand.
I don't think you do, Ron.

179
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,764
You got to do it.
What? Why?

180
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,080
Because at one time,

181
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,242
this woman was a real
friend of the paper.

182
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,607
And if she were to extend
that friendship

183
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,250
at the time of her passing,

184
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,896
that would be extremely
helpful to all of us.

I'm saying look around.

Are you saying
I could lose my job?

I'm saying we could
all lose our jobs.

supposed to do?

Um, a little over 19 years.

And, you know,
when we got married,

00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,969
she did not take my name.

Did you know that?

Who did that back then

Yeah. I get the
impression that she...

00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,006
Control is very
important to Harriet.

00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,248
Well, she asked you
to write her obituary

00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,810
while she is still alive.

211
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,045
Yeah, I think it's safe to say

212
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,640
that control is very
important to Harriet.

Well, you gotta understand
that when she started out,

215
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,010
it was a different world.

216

I mean, the men that
she had to work with.

Men she had to work for.

218
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,200
She had to be twice as good,

219
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,601
twice as smart,
twice as forceful.

220
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,008
(CHUCKLES) And she was, too.

221

she was right.

Always.

But the one thing that made
her light up with excitement

224
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,923
was finding out
that she was wrong.

00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:13,921
Yeah, see...

226
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,921
If you were willing to go
toe-to-toe with Harriet,

227
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,082
prove that you were right
and she was wrong,

228
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,247
she loved that.

229
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,485
And she would laugh.
(CHUCKLES)

230
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,211
Now, she never said,
"I'm wrong."

00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,728

if you don't have anything
nice to say about someone,

No, it's the life of a loser.

This is the life of a nobody.

I definitely wouldn't say that.

That's right.

One, the deceased should
be loved by their families.

Right.

347

Two, the deceased should be
admired by their coworkers.

touched someone's
life unexpectedly.

Yes, a statement of
such breadth and wonder

I got to admit. She was
more of a risk taker.

So is that what
we're calling it?

00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,842
what she did to us
was almost noble,

497

which it wasn't.

like what she did, okay?

I mean, I didn't like it.

But obviously she
wanted something else,

501
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:34,925
and so she just went after it.

I would like to know.

624

When I was a kid,

625

I loved to listen to the radio.

I loved what they chose to play.

628
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,089
They would play something

629
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,761
very exploratory
and I would think,

630
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,080
"Yes, I like to go there."

631
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,764
And I would listen to the music.

632
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,684
Then they'd play
something really bad,

633
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,000
like, almost violent,

634
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,202
and I would take a look
at what I thought.

635
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,886
See what I mean?
They were in control of,

636
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:47,045
I guess, basically my
kind of budding imagination.

637
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,411
Wait. So, um, who was
your favorite disc jockey?

638
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,727
Bobby Dale. Bobby Dale.

639
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,921
Eclectic taste.
Minimum patter.

640
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,726
And really brilliant sequencing.

641
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,444
But then, you know,
as with everything,

642
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,921
music became business.

643
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:09,563
And they put the music in a box.

644
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,522
And then my disc jockeys
became computers.

645

That is what I told him.

820

Why would you say that to him?

to ruin what we have.

it was Andalusia.

1306

01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:47,888
and its usage in this case
is reasonable.

that marriage is about
learning to compromise.

1363

Well, compromise just means

miserable instead of one.
