"La prima volta che incontrai Dean fu poco tempo dopo che io e mia moglie ci separammo. Avevo appena superato una seria malattia della quale non mi prenderò la briga di parlare, sennonché ebbe qualcosa a che fare con la triste e penosa rottura e con la sensazione da parte mia che tutto fosse morto. Con l'arrivo di Dean Moriartry ebbe inizio quella parte della mia vita che si potrebbe chiamare la mia vita lungo la strada."
"I FIRST met Dean not long after my wife and I split up."
