When I got outside I didn't know where the hell to go. In the end I stayed in the waiting room at Grand Central. The next day I had this crazy idea about going away to the west. I would be like a deaf-mute and then I couldn't have any goddamn stupid useless conversations with anybody. I got excited as hell thinking about it. I know the deaf-mute thing was crazy, but I liked thinking about it.
I wrote Phoebe a letter and went to her school so one of the teachers could give it to her. I told her to meet me at the museum so I could give her back her Christmas dough. When she met me she was carrying a suitcase with her. She had this crazy idea about coming away with me. I said she couldn't and told her to shut up. I didn't mean to tell her to shut uo. I kept tellling her she had to go back to school and then she told me to shut up. It sounded terrible.
In the end we went to the zoo, and then went over to the carrousel. I bought her a ticket and said I'd watch her. When it started I watched her go around and around. When it finished I told her to buy some more tickets. Then it started to goddamn rain. In buckets, I swear to God. Everyone went and stood under the roof, but I just stayed on the bench. I didn't care if I got soaked. All of a sudden I felt so damn happy. The way Phoebe just kept going around and around, she looked so damn nice. I wish you could have been there.
