and he said I feel like you're inspiring
me do you think I took this job to spite
you I was writing this script as they
were filming all their time in Italy I
worked like mad all day long and then -
down to the bar here at midnight then in
the next day scenes I'm for you to get
just about moved into the hotel bar one
free bunker where he and John Huston
they drank every night and I mean drank
like famished water buffaloes well I'd
only just handed them the final scene
when the bellhop told me I had a phone
call and it was my stepfather Joe Capote
calling to say that my mother had died I
flew home to New York terribly struck
but when I got to the apartment I could
see that Joe was even worse shape than I
was
he grabbed my hand and he said to me
talk talk about anything you know I mean
any subject in the world
don't worry whether it'll interest me or
not just talk so I won't break down he
couldn't bear to be alone with his stars
it was too painful
[Music]
it's been a hard couple of weeks for
Alvin he and herb clutter were good
friends from church oh come on Alvin
