Another page from the “Conversations with Roommate” file:
ME: Did you ever read “Waiting for Godot?”
ELIE: Yeah.
ME: What did you think of it?
ELIE: “Waiting for Godot”…hmmmm…makes me want to shoot myself.
ME: So you didn’t like it, then.
ELIE: (Completely seriously) No, it was great.
I’m speechless.
I am so proud
