101
What?

102
No, I just got it. Why?

103
What?

104
I can't believe he did this.

105
I can't believe it!

106
-Why are you so annoyed?
-It's wrong to print it.

107
It's private.
It's somebody's intimate thoughts.

108
It's not your letter!

109
I know it's not my letter.
I found it.

110
Is this personal?
Is that why you're pissed off?

111
I'm not pissed off! I'm just. . .

112
. . .a little pissed off.

113
You had your chance
at the Christmas party.

114
Morning, doll.

115
Look at this.

116
Letters to the paper about
the message in the bottle.

117
What?

118
And two more boxes.
Take those to research.

119
I found him in the mailroom.
Nice ass.

120
Charlie wants us to drop everything.

121
And do what?
Answer all of them?

122
Go through them and
count the pros and cons.

123
Get rid of the nutso letters.

124
Then we'll do excerpts. The paper
wants us to milk it. This is big.

125
Bigger than
the low-fat muffin scandal.

126
Bigger than
the mayor and the teacher.

127
It's amazing.

128
''Your column sucks the big one. ''

129
-Negative, I think.
-Listen.

130
''If only more men would have
the sensitivity. . .

131
. . .to talk about how they feel,
instead of. . .

132
. . .hiding behind
the Sports Channel--''

133
''My niece sent it to me.

134
It might be from the same person.

135
So I'm enclosing it here. ''

136
What?

137
What?

138
''Dear Catherine. ''

139
No. Are you kidding? Really?

140
Out loud. Read it out loud.

141
''Dear Catherine:
There isn't an hour without you in it.

142
I mend the boats, test them. . .

143
. . .and all the while
the memories come in like the tide.

144
I thought today
of when we were young. . .

145
. . .and you left our world
for a bigger world.

146
I was a lot more scared
than I would admit.

147
I fought my fear. . .

148
. . .by telling myself
you'd come back someday. . .

149
. . .and trying to think of the first
thing I'd say when I saw you again.

150
I must have tried out
1 00 possibilities.
