Narrator: What time is it? No time to look back.
Miss Rollings: It's like how hot dogs come in packs of 10, and buns come in packs of eight or 12 -- you have to buy nine packs to make it come out even.
Narrator: I really enjoy forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people walk. Doorknobs. Everything. Then I get used to the place and I don't notice those things anymore. So only by forgetting can I see the place again as it really is.
Narrator: I have something to say about the difference between American and European cities. But I've forgotten what it is. I have it written down at home though.
