I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film — it wanted somebody as _________ as Paul — he _________ me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have _________ their agents or the studio powers.

The friendship that _________ the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its _________ in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of _________ and live TV. We _________ craft (技艺) and focused on _________ the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the _________ and virtues that are __________ of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other-but always with an underlying __________. Those were also at the core (核心) of our relationship off the screen. We shared the __________ that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should __________ something back — he with his Newman’s Own food for kids in need, and me with Sundance.

When I was a _________ , my mom and dad would push me in a baby jogger. We would pick up soda cans while my mom and dad ran. Before I could _________, whenever I saw a can I would point to it. It was fun picking up cans. We ran a lot miles and _________ up many cans.

When I was five, I went _________ with my mom, dad, and a friend at Bastrop State Park. The first night we went for a bike ride. I _________ on my dad's bike. There was so much _________ that the road did not look pretty. The second day, when we went for a _________ along the same road, we picked up all the cans—about one hundred of them.

I am now too _________ for the baby jogger. But I still pick up cans wherever we go, and my mom and dad still bring back cans from their walks. We ____________ the cans behind and inside our garage.
