He said, "Ah, New York.
Yes, that's a very interesting place.
Do you know a lot of New Yorkers who keep talking about the fact that they want to leave but Never do?"
And I said, "Oh, yes."
And he said, "Why do you think they don't leave?"
I gave him different banal theories.
He said, "Oh, I don't think it's that way at all."
He said, "I think Ne..
