"Well, everybody's got somebody to talk to, all their

	   life.  You know what they like to talk about and when

	   they like to say nothing, when you can be just silly

	   and when they'd rather be serious and important.  The

	   only thing you don't know is their face.  For that you

	   wait.  And then one day you see the face, and then you

	   have it all."
