明明哭了，卻要跟接線生嘴硬。我們男人不把那稱之為哭泣。就像 Jim Croce對operator說：

I can’t read the number that you just gave me.

Something in my eyes,

you know it happens every time —

I think about the love that I thought would save me.

最後決定還是不打電話了

卻說出讓人淚中噴笑的話

超慷慨的10分錢啊

Let’s forget about this call

There’s no one there I really wanted to talk to

Thank you for your time

Ah, you’ve been so much more than kind

You can keep the dime…

Jim Croce面無表情地用華麗的吉他技巧演唱這首悲傷的歌，讓人很容易忽略了他的心痛。男人，也許因為自尊也許因為身上的責任，再痛，也不許哭出來。

就說是眼裡進了東西吧，眨眨眼還是要挺起腰桿繼續向前。
