23rd and lex. the cabbie grunts a reply.
how ya doin', papa, you doin' alright?
this is just a check-up, okay? doctor katz says you'll outlive us all. traffic isn't bad. we should be back in time to watch the mets. he notices his father is staring, wide-eyed, at the cabby's hack license. we glimpse only the last name"bielski."
papa? .papa, what is it? in the rear view mirror, the old man catches the furtive eyes of the cabby.
papa, who was that man? the elderly man watches the cab pull away, wiping his eyes.
