'She's been my wife for seven years, since I got her out of a catalog -- Cherry Blossoms. "Phillipine Women Seek American Men For Love And Marriage." I was so lonely. Was.

Her name was Nateeh, but she didn't like it. "I'm American now, I want American name." She asked me to give it to her. As a kid, I had a crush on Hope Lange, the movie star. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.

Was. In seven years, we've never gone to bed angry. Or woken up cold.

If I can remember that, why is it all I feel is so goddamned guilty I ever opened that catalog?'
