00:00:01.270 --> 00:00:07.210 align:middle line:84%
OK, I'm just going to read
two more, if I can find them.

00:00:07.210 --> 00:00:12.870 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.870 --> 00:00:18.105 align:middle line:84%
Come back to-- there's
a poet in Cambridge.

00:00:18.105 --> 00:00:19.830 align:middle line:90%
His name is Stephen Tapscott.

00:00:19.830 --> 00:00:23.010 align:middle line:90%
And he has a dog named Buddy.

00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:25.020 align:middle line:84%
And he has a partner
whose name is

00:00:25.020 --> 00:00:29.010 align:middle line:84%
Andy, who is not to be
confused with my brother Andy.

00:00:29.010 --> 00:00:32.280 align:middle line:84%
So the Andy in this poem is
that Andy, and Buddy is a dog.

00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:37.470 align:middle line:90%


00:00:37.470 --> 00:00:38.370 align:middle line:90%
"Buddy."

00:00:38.370 --> 00:00:41.880 align:middle line:84%
"Andy sees us to the door and
Buddy is suddenly all over him,

00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.090 align:middle line:84%
weeping, and barking
because Andy said, 'walk.'

00:00:45.090 --> 00:00:47.760 align:middle line:84%
'Are you going to walk
home?' he said to me.

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:48.930 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:48.930 --> 00:00:52.815 align:middle line:84%
And Buddy thinks him,
and now, and he's wrong.

00:00:52.815 --> 00:00:54.120 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:54.120 --> 00:00:55.980 align:middle line:84%
He doesn't understand
the difference

00:00:55.980 --> 00:00:58.740 align:middle line:84%
between sign and
symbol like we do,

00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:02.550 align:middle line:84%
the thing and the word
for the thing, how

00:01:02.550 --> 00:01:05.129 align:middle line:84%
we can talk about something
when it's not even there,

00:01:05.129 --> 00:01:10.800 align:middle line:84%
without it actually happening,
the way I talk about John.

00:01:10.800 --> 00:01:12.540 align:middle line:90%
Andy meant soon.

00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:14.340 align:middle line:90%
He meant me.

00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:17.400 align:middle line:90%
As for Buddy, Andy meant later.

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.190 align:middle line:84%
When he was 'good
and ready,' he said.

00:01:20.190 --> 00:01:21.960 align:middle line:90%
Buddy doesn't understand.

00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:26.640 align:middle line:84%
He's in a state of agitation and
grief, scratching at the door.

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.120 align:middle line:84%
If one of us said, 'Andy'
when Andy wasn't there,

00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.450 align:middle line:84%
that silly Buddy would
probably jump up barking,

00:01:33.450 --> 00:01:35.500 align:middle line:90%
and begin looking for him."

00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:36.000 align:middle line:90%
