00:00:00Excuse me, it's okay.
00:00:02It's okay. It's okay, it's okay.
00:00:05It's okay.
00:00:07Let me help her back.
00:00:30It's okay, it's okay.
00:00:33Maruzella, Maruzella.
00:00:42Vedi, questo è Napoli.
00:00:44Napoli è pieno divertimento.
00:00:46Ci sono posti per divertirti e posti che ci sono brutti.
00:01:00Alla prossima.
00:01:06I'm looking for the concert.
00:01:07And then you drive right by it.
00:01:09There it is.
00:01:13Very funny.
00:01:23I think it's gonna be good.
00:01:25Must be.
00:01:30I'm looking for the traffic of Napoli.
00:01:32I don't know how many people are.
00:01:35And in this one, he's in the first place.
00:01:43Shit.
00:01:45Whoa.
00:01:46Camp on my wallet.
00:01:51In the Lucy case?
00:01:52No.
00:01:53No, no, some people can't stop with the person who's in the city.
00:01:56Somewhere.
00:01:57Maybe it's my car.
00:02:00What are you looking for?
00:02:07What do you think?
00:02:12She's lost her purse.
00:02:14She's lost her purse.
00:02:15No, there's nothing.
00:02:16She didn't catch anything.
00:02:18There's nothing.
00:02:20Can you just give her a minute?
00:02:21She was sitting here.
00:02:22One moment, one moment.
00:02:24There's nothing.
00:02:25I'm going to lose my mind.
00:02:27There's nothing.
00:02:28Where did you have it last?
00:02:35The train station, I think.
00:02:38The exchange group.
00:02:40Oh, Jamie.
00:02:43I'm sorry.
00:02:45That bastard at the train station started when you dropped all your stuff.

00:09:35If you do, leave me a message, okay?
00:09:42So I can worry about you.
00:09:44Okay.
00:09:49I've left you some money here.
00:09:54I'll see you later.
00:09:55Have a good day.
00:09:56Have a good day.
00:09:56Have a good day.
00:09:57Testing, testing.
00:10:22Okay.
00:10:25Do you have any stories for my book?
00:10:28What kind of stories?
00:10:30Stories that you've prepared.
00:10:32Or I can ask them a list of stories that Dad told me about.
00:10:34Go ahead and ask from your father's list.
00:10:36God rest his soul.
00:10:37Let's start with the war.
00:10:40We went into an air raid shelter.
00:10:42My mother, your great-grandmother, she was shaking.
00:10:46Sirens wailed and...
00:10:48And then there was the sound of a bomb.
00:10:50And the man next to us, he said,
00:10:52I was in a shelter last night with my wife and my little boy.
00:10:56And half of it got blown away.
00:10:59There was blood in his hair.
00:11:02He was all alone.
00:11:03That nearly finished my mother, you know.
00:11:08Here we were in this tiny town in England,
00:11:10miles from Germany, from Russia, from Italy,
00:11:13from any front lines.
00:11:15And this man,
00:11:18he had blood in his hair.
00:11:19He had blood in his hair.
00:11:25Good night, cappuccino.
00:11:26Good night, sir.
00:11:45Good night, sir.
00:11:46Glory to his dad.
00:11:49We were riding our bikes to school when the Germans started firing at us.
00:12:01We jumped into a hedge.
00:12:04We were terrified, but afterwards we couldn't stop laughing.
00:12:09It feels now as if I'm the only one who remembers that.
00:12:13It's as vivid to me as if it happened yesterday.
00:12:18Oh, hi, Leonard.
00:12:20It's Jane.
00:12:21I decided to take an impromptu trip to Iskia, or, um, Iskia, as they pronounce it.
00:12:28See, I'm learning a little bit.
00:12:30Um, anyway, I'll be home later.
00:12:33I hope you have a good day.
00:12:35Bye.
00:12:36Those friends are all dead now.
00:12:39There's no one left.
00:12:41That's one of my regrets, you know.
00:12:44Sometimes I think I should have had more children, not just your father.
00:12:48You're all alone now that your parents are gone.
00:12:54No brothers, no sisters.
00:12:59I'm upsetting you.
00:13:01Let's talk about something else.
00:13:03No one to ask me more boring questions about the war.
00:13:08All right, then.
00:13:10Uh, scusi.
00:13:12Scusi.
00:13:13Um, the castle?
00:13:15Castle?
00:13:16Uh, uh...
00:13:16Parlato anglese?
00:13:18No, no, no.
00:13:19No?
00:13:19No.
00:13:20Um, Castello Aureganese?
00:13:23Uh, andare.
00:13:25Andare?
00:13:26Andare?
00:13:26Grazie.
00:13:26Ah, grazie.
00:13:28They'd been shot through the neck.
00:13:32The bullet went in one side and came out the other.
00:13:36And there were all these bomb holes filled with water,
00:13:39and he couldn't tell which was the German side and which was the Allied side.
00:13:43When he came home after something like that,
00:13:47you couldn't really complain to him about anything, now could you?
00:13:50I'm actually going there now, to the castle.
00:13:53You speak English now?
00:13:54Yeah.
00:13:55Why, do you think I was Italian?
00:13:56Yeah.
00:13:57Yes!
00:13:57That's great.
00:13:58That's cool.
00:13:59Hey, hey, hey.
00:14:01Where are you from?
00:14:03London.
00:14:04No, in America.
00:14:05Come on.
00:14:05Maine.
00:14:06No, shit.
00:14:07I'm from Massachusetts.
00:14:08That's crazy.
00:14:09That's weird.
00:14:10Right?
00:14:11Yeah.
00:14:12Vacation?
00:14:13No.
00:14:13Are you?
00:14:14What?
00:14:15Are you here on vacation?
00:14:16Oh.
00:14:20Sorry.
00:14:20I thought you were saying you were on vacation.
00:14:22Me?
00:14:23No.
00:14:25So, come on.
00:14:27My husband is working in Naples.
00:14:30What does he do?
00:14:32He is playing in a concert at the end of the night.
00:14:35Cool.
00:14:36What does he play?
00:14:37Viola.
00:14:39Mm-mm-mm.
00:14:39The viola.
00:14:42Any good?
00:14:44Yes.
00:14:45Very.
00:14:45How do you keep your violin from getting stolen?
00:14:53You put it in a viola case.
00:14:55Right?
00:14:58That's not funny.
00:14:59What's the difference between a viola and a coffin?
00:15:02A coffin has a dead person on the inside.
00:15:05Because viola players are dead?
00:15:07No?
00:15:07Why is a viola solo like premature ejaculation?
00:15:12Because even though you know it's coming, there's nothing you can do about it.
00:15:18I can't help it.
00:15:19I've got this weird autistic mind for jokes, and I went to this music-slash-nerd summer camp
00:15:23when I was like 10, and I played the triangle.
00:15:25Right.
00:15:26And I'm an only child, so, you know, understand.
00:15:31You look too young to be married.
00:15:33You newlywed?
00:15:34No.
00:15:36No.
00:15:46That's it.
00:15:47Stop making me feel like a stalker.
00:15:49Fuck.
00:15:49Stop making me feel like a stalker.
00:15:50Fuck.
00:15:51Oh, hey, have you got 50 cents?
00:16:06If you can catch it.
00:16:10Grazie.
00:16:11Grazie.
00:16:21What brought you out of here today?
00:16:36Fairy.
00:16:36Ha!
00:16:37Fairy.
00:16:39I like it.
00:16:41They have this device down in the basement.
00:16:43It's like a torture cage.
00:16:44They lock you in there until you turn to bones.
00:16:48But can you imagine dying by just sitting there?
00:16:51That would suck.
00:16:58In, like, the 1300s, thousands of families lived in this castle.
00:17:03It must have smelled pretty bad.
00:17:05All those people crammed onto this rock.
00:17:10Wow.
00:17:12I know.
00:17:13I've been coming here every day, and it still gets me.
00:17:16If only we could kill off all the tourists.
00:17:20You're a tourist.
00:17:22No, I'm not.
00:17:24I came out here a few months ago with this volunteer organization dedicated to studying
00:17:30the relic populations of dolphins and whales in the Gulf of Naples.
00:17:35I can't tell if you're joking.
00:17:36I'm dead fucking serious.
00:17:40No, I just didn't want to go to college, and they paid for me to come over.
00:17:43Before connecting flights, it's a 72-hour plane ride, but, you know, it was worth it.
00:17:47My first time out of the U.S.
00:17:49How old are you?
00:17:49I'm 19.
00:17:50It's my birthday today.
00:17:52Is it really?
00:17:53Uh-huh.
00:17:54Happy birthday.
00:17:55Thank you very much.
00:17:56Yeah, so I left the program after, like, a month.
00:17:59Fuck the relic dolphins!
00:18:01Because I stayed on the island, because I have this awesome living situation.
00:18:05I'll tell you the short version.
00:18:07Basically, I used to have ancestors in Ischia, so when I come over, I Facebook this second
00:18:11cousin twice removed.
00:18:12The second cousin twice removed, in case you didn't know, is when one person's great-grandparent
00:18:16is another person's great-great-great-grandparent.
00:18:18I'd love to hear the long version.
00:18:20Sorry.
00:18:20Anyway, so this relative gave me the name of this great-uncle who lives on the island,
00:18:25so I show up, he answers the door, and he's, like, the oldest fucker I've ever seen, easily
00:18:30pushing a hundred.
00:18:32A hundred?
00:18:33Yeah, if not older, he's, like, deaf and blind and about four feet tall, and he mumbles a
00:18:38couple of things to me in some crazy dialect, ushers me inside, pours me a glass of wine,
00:18:42and leads me to this basement apartment, and, uh, yeah, I never left.
00:18:49I never left.
00:19:19Love teaches me to feed on flames and tears, to turn withered hope green through desire,
00:19:48to re-enslave my heart each time love frees his noble face from that heavy disdain.
00:19:56Who is that?
00:19:58Vittoria Colonna.
00:20:01Ah, the woman who lived here.
00:20:04You read that in your guidebook this morning, didn't you, Jane? Sneaky.
00:20:10Yeah, I've decided to learn Italian by committing to memory all the sonnets she wrote to Michelangelo in English and Italian.
00:20:17I thought Michelangelo was gay.
00:20:19Ah, according to history and the muscular thighs of his sculptures, yes.
00:20:24But that didn't stop her from loving him.
00:20:28Let's hear it then.
00:20:30In Italian.
00:20:32Let's hear the poem.
00:20:34Come on.
00:20:36I'm impressed.
00:20:39Are you hungry?
00:20:40No.
00:20:41I'm impressed.
00:20:46Are you hungry?
00:20:47Why, you gonna take me out?
00:20:48Yeah.
00:20:49All right then.
00:20:50Mm-hmm.
00:20:51Okay.
00:20:52Okay.
00:20:53Okay.
00:20:56All right then.
00:20:57Okay.
00:20:58Two pastas with the house sauce, please.
00:20:59Red.
00:21:00Red.
00:21:01Red.
00:21:02Red.
00:21:03Red.
00:21:04Red.
00:21:05Red.
00:21:06Red.
00:21:07Uh-huh.
00:21:10Grazie.
00:21:11So you're really not gonna tell me what you do?
00:21:12No.
00:21:13No.
00:21:14No.
00:21:15No.
00:21:16No.
00:21:17No.
00:21:18No.
00:21:19No.
00:21:20No.
00:21:21No.
00:21:22No.
00:21:23No.
00:21:24No.
00:21:25No.
00:21:26No.
00:21:27No.
00:21:28No.
00:21:29No.
00:21:30No.
00:21:31No.
00:21:32No.
00:21:33No.
00:21:34No.
00:21:35I write freelance articles about parties and fashion trends in Town & Country U.K.
00:21:45There's something else...
00:21:48I'm writing a book about my grandmother's experiences in rural England, living through
00:21:59two world wars.
00:22:01I recorded her for hours and hours.
00:22:03But now, I don't know.
00:22:08What don't you know?
00:22:11You want to listen?
00:22:14A little?
00:22:15Yeah.
00:22:16Yeah?
00:22:17Yeah, I know it.
00:22:18I love to listen.
00:22:24Well, it's tangled up.
00:22:39Oh God.
00:22:42Okay.
00:22:43Awful as it was, it made you stronger.
00:22:44These days people whine about all sorts of things.
00:22:47And I'm not one of those old people who think my time had the only joy and the only problems.
00:22:53We all have our own private wars every era, but it was nothing like it really brought
00:23:00people together, the war.
00:23:02We helped each other during that time.
00:23:04We had to laugh.
00:23:05We had to smile.
00:23:06Well, if not for ourselves, then for the people we'd lost.
00:23:10I'll shut that thing off.
00:23:11Would you get it out of my face?
00:23:17That is like, it's like a window in time.
00:23:21The sort of thing you wish you always did before someone died, you know?
00:23:26My husband thinks I'm never going to finish it.
00:23:29I shouldn't care what anyone thinks.
00:23:32We met while I was recording her.
00:23:34Bonding over granny, huh?
00:23:36Make it sound perverse.
00:23:39That's what it was, right?
00:23:41Buongiorno.
00:23:42Buongiorno.
00:23:43Signori.
00:23:52I got pregnant so we got married.
00:23:55I lost the baby.
00:24:01I'm sorry.
00:24:05I'm sorry.
00:24:14Excuse me.
00:24:15It was your regret.
00:24:17Yes, thank you.
00:24:18You can take it away.
00:24:20Yes, thank you.
00:24:25I didn't go back after that to the States.
00:24:36Did you, uh, did you ever hear that story about the Red Strain?
00:24:42I think I might have.
00:24:44Tell me.
00:24:48It's like this Asian proverb says that anyone you're destined to meet like,
00:24:54uh, your soulmate or your family or, you know, someone you bump into on the street.
00:25:02We're all connected by this red string.
00:25:07It can be tangled or stretched, but it can never be broken.
00:25:12There's this moment in the tape.
00:25:20I'm sitting, waiting in the airport bar for my flight.
00:25:25And I'm talking into the recorder, rambling on about how I'm about to embark on this amazing adventure and how I'm gonna show World War II from a totally different perspective.
00:25:36But...
00:25:46I don't know if it's that interesting.
00:25:49That's the whole point, isn't it?
00:25:52Keeping it interesting for yourself.
00:25:56Maybe.
00:25:57Maybe.
00:26:00Maybe I just wanna write about nothing.
00:26:02Everything is nothing.
00:26:05All the best.
00:26:07Compliano.
00:26:08Grazie.
00:26:09Grazie.
00:26:12Make a wish, huh?
00:26:15Make it great.
00:26:16Okay.
00:26:25Bravo.
00:26:26Bravo.
00:26:27Hey.
00:26:36What do you mean?
00:26:37What?
00:26:38Grab my hand.
00:26:39Wait.
00:26:40Go, go, go.
00:26:41Go!
00:26:42America!
00:26:43No!
00:26:44Oh no!
00:26:45What?
00:26:46What do you mean?
00:26:50Stronzo!
00:26:52Hey!

00:27:26It'd make you feel better if I said I said no one day off.
00:27:30Yes, it's true.
00:27:32Yes, it's true.
00:27:33We made the check when I went to the bathroom.
00:27:36Why are we still running?
00:27:52I don't know why we're still running.
00:28:06Oh my gosh.
00:28:13What about my nose?
00:28:20Will you come back?
00:28:22Maybe.
00:28:25Maybe is not a no.
00:28:28And since I don't have a phone,
00:28:30you're going to have to give me your number
00:28:33for cheap thrills and future crimes committed.
00:28:36No.
00:28:40Fair enough.
00:28:50I've got to go catch a fairy.
00:28:56Hey.
00:29:02Why do violists keep their viola cases on their dashboards?
00:29:18Why?
00:29:22So they can park in handicapped spots.
00:29:27Oh.
00:29:32Happy birthday.
00:29:35Happy birthday.
00:29:36Father.
00:29:37Happy birthday.

00:30:13God bless you.
00:30:43God bless you.
00:31:14Brushing the fingertip of someone you didn't know you loved until you touched them.
00:31:20Nellie was this little collie who wouldn't go on a leash, so she had to sit on a bicycle seat.

00:43:00Anyways, I met your grandfather not long after and we got married.
00:43:08Was it love at first sight with grandpa?
00:43:11Love at first sight? Stop that thing.
00:43:15I know. You're home early.
00:43:23I do deserve that.

00:45:26Say cheese.
00:45:33You should kind of be in the middle.
00:45:36Hold on a second.
00:45:50That's what our living room is missing.
00:45:55What did you do?
00:46:09Put my hand over my mouth.
00:46:11You did?
00:46:12What did you do?
00:46:13Just wave.
00:46:25It was a scene.

00:46:29It was a scene.
00:46:30It was a scene.
00:46:31I watched it.
00:46:32I'm not a siren.
00:46:33I'll try it.
00:46:34I'll try it.

00:52:51I'm going to put my pants on.
00:52:52I'm going to put my pants on.
00:52:53I'm going to put my pants on.
00:52:54I'm going to put my pants on.
00:52:56I'm going to put my pants on.
00:52:57Were you?
00:52:58They were delicious.
00:53:18You make me feel nervous.
00:53:23You make me feel calm.
00:53:27You want a drink?
00:53:49Is that him?
00:53:55Yeah, I just shuffled around all night.
00:54:01Must be lonely.
00:54:05Yeah, I just shuffled around all night.
00:54:15Must be lonely.
00:54:19I just shuffled around all night.
00:54:23You can't walk away.
00:54:25I just got to walk away.
00:54:27I just got to walk away.
00:54:29I just got to walk away.
00:54:31I just got to walk away.
00:54:33I just got to walk away.
00:54:35You just got to walk away.
00:54:37You got to walk away.
00:54:39I just walked away.
00:54:41You got to walk away.
00:54:43I was at home.
00:54:45I was at home.
00:55:47I didn't sleep at all last night.
00:56:14Where have you been?
00:56:17Just walking.
00:56:19All night.
00:56:21I've been thinking.
00:56:23You left your phone here. I had to plug it in.
00:56:27We need to talk, Leonard.
00:56:28I have to go to work.
00:56:33Can you be late?
00:56:34No, I can't be late.
00:56:39Leonard.
00:56:40Jay, whatever you have to say to me, I want to hear it.
00:56:44I've committed myself.
00:56:46People are depending on me.
00:56:48I have to go to work.
00:56:49I can't be late.
00:56:50I can't be late.
00:56:51I can't be late.
00:56:53Okay.
00:57:25If it wasn't the war, it would have been something else.
00:57:31There's always something else, isn't there?
00:57:34That's the thing. That's the thing about struggle.
00:57:48I'm going to make some tea. Do you want some?
00:57:52I'm all right.
00:57:54If you go out like that again, just tell me.
00:58:03No worry.
00:58:05Okay.
00:58:08I can't seem to figure out what's going on in your head.
00:58:11Do you think everything we've been through actually does us any good in the long run?
00:58:31Or do we just make our struggle to be something meaningful because that's all most of us have?
00:58:40I'll tell you, next time we come to Italy, to get a proper kitchen.
00:58:56I don't know what you want me to say, Jane.
00:59:07One little thing had changed in my grandmother's life. I might not be here.
00:59:32Sometimes I worry I'm not honoring her.
00:59:42With the book?
00:59:45No, with my life.
00:59:55This is it, you know.
00:59:58It ends with me.
00:59:59In the harvest time, we all went to the field where they were cutting the corn.
01:00:08Everyone was chasing rabbits, and then we had our tea in the harvest fields.
01:00:16The horses.
01:00:17The horses.
01:00:18Yeah.
01:00:19The horses back then, they were kept beautifully.
01:00:20Dad used to dress them all up. Brass things and little horseshoes.
01:00:37He put braids on them.
01:00:40They used to be gorgeous.
01:00:42What are your plans for tomorrow?
01:00:46There was one.
01:00:48Duke.
01:00:49He was a Clydesdale I used to ride down to the marshes every night when he finished working.
01:01:00They were lovely days, really.
01:01:06They're gone.
01:01:08They're gone.
01:01:09For me.
01:01:10Jane.
01:01:11But not for you.
01:01:13Jane.
01:01:14You know, it's different for you.
01:01:17In some ways, it's easier.
01:01:19You haven't got the war.
01:01:20People don't die as much as they did back then.
01:01:23But in some ways, it's more disjointed.
01:01:27You've got to make your own life, one that you love, and you can't be afraid of the time.
01:01:40Time is shiftable.
01:01:42There are moments in my life that I would trade sixty years to have back again.
01:01:55That's the truth.
01:01:57You'll know the truth when you find it.
01:02:00It'll come to you like something you've known before rather than something you're learning for the first time.
01:02:06Oh, sorry.
01:02:11Ah!
01:02:12Ah!
01:02:13What is it?
01:02:14Ah!
01:02:15Ah!
01:02:16Ah!
01:02:17Ah!
01:02:18You...
01:02:19Ah!
01:02:20You all right?
01:02:21Ah!
01:02:22You okay?
01:02:23Yeah.
01:02:24Stunned my toe.
01:02:25Ah!
01:02:26It's bleeding.
01:02:27Ah!
01:02:28It's fine.
01:02:29It's fine.
01:02:30It's fine.
01:02:31It's fine.
01:02:32It's fine.
01:02:33You losing it?
01:02:34Yes.
01:02:35Ah!
01:02:36Fuck.
01:02:37Ah!
01:02:38I met these backpackers last night, Frank and Elsa.
01:02:51She's French, he's German.
01:02:53They're going to Tibet.
01:02:55And I'm going with them.
01:02:59I want you to come with me.
01:03:02Go to Margaret.
01:03:03You want me to come with me?
01:03:04Right?
01:03:05Sorry.
01:03:08Ready?
01:03:10Good.
01:03:18Were we at the thoroughly full living legend?
01:03:57Hi.
01:04:05Hi.
01:04:07How are you?
01:04:10Long day.
01:04:14God, when are they not?
01:04:17I don't think I'm chomped at doing another stint like this.
01:04:24How's the writing going?
01:04:27I'm feeling inspired.
01:04:32It's fantastic.
01:04:34I think I've figured out the key to finishing the project.
01:04:39Are you listening?
01:04:45You found the key to finishing this project.
01:04:48The water here tastes so funny.
01:05:02Have you ever cheated on me?
01:05:05Oh, Jane.
01:05:06Have you?
01:05:06Can we not?
01:05:09Have you?
01:05:15Absolutely not.
01:05:17Why did you take such a long time to answer that?
01:05:20Because I'm sick.
01:05:22Of what, Leonard?
01:05:24Of it being so hard?
01:05:25Yes.
01:05:27Tedious?
01:05:34I hate talking about sex with you.
01:05:37Is that what we're talking about?
01:05:38Normal people talk about sex, Leonard.
01:05:41And we don't?
01:05:42There's just huge, vacant lots that we don't discuss.
01:05:49Like what?
01:05:50Is there anything you want to ask me?
01:05:53Why?
01:05:53Is there anything you want to tell me?
01:05:55I just want to connect.
01:05:59So you don't feel that we're connected?
01:06:01Do you?
01:06:04I love you.
01:06:05I get it, Leonard.
01:06:15I get it.
01:06:17It's always been this big, serious, grave thing for us.
01:06:20Sex has consequences.
01:06:21Life and death.
01:06:22Mostly death.
01:06:23Jane, please.
01:06:24Let me guess.
01:06:25You don't want to talk about it?
01:06:26No, that's not what I'm saying.
01:06:28You're just...
01:06:28Do you want to have children, Leonard?
01:06:30Of course I did.
01:06:31Not did.
01:06:32Do you want to have children?
01:06:35So did you.
01:06:37But...
01:06:39Say it.
01:06:42Jane.
01:06:42Say it.
01:06:45I can't have children, Leonard.
01:06:48I never will.
01:06:50And if we keep trying, they keep dying.
01:06:53Again and again and again.
01:06:55Please.
01:06:55And again.
01:06:58How does that make you feel?
01:07:00It's not your father.
01:07:05How does it make you feel, Leonard?
01:07:07How does it make you feel?
01:07:10You will never be a father.
01:07:13We can adopt.
01:07:15That's not what you want.
01:07:16Is it?
01:07:18Is that what you want?
01:07:19Because I think about it all the time.
01:07:27That the one thing you always wanted, I will never be able to give you.
01:07:41What are you trying to do, Jane?
01:07:43I just want to know that there's a reason for it all.
01:07:46You're not curious about me, Leonard.
01:07:59Not really.
01:08:01What do you want me to know?
01:08:02You shouldn't have to ask.
01:08:04I feel as if you want me to be someone I'm not.
01:08:09Someone that I've never been.
01:08:11I'm leaving you.
01:08:17I've been seeing someone else.
01:08:24See him.
01:08:26Caleb.
01:08:28That kid?
01:08:29Yes.
01:08:31That kid?
01:08:31That child?
01:08:32That kid you've known for two days?
01:08:34It's been longer than that.
01:08:34Please tell me you're joking.
01:08:37Time is shiftable.
01:08:39I don't get it.
01:08:39Leonard.
01:08:41I don't get it.
01:08:42He's asked me to travel with him.
01:08:44Are you sleeping with him?
01:08:48What do you think?
01:08:55I kept waiting for you to see it.
01:08:57To smell it.
01:08:58To sense it.
01:08:59So what?
01:09:00I failed your test?
01:09:02You don't see me!
01:09:03I don't see me!
01:09:03I don't see me!
01:09:11I'm sorry.
01:09:24For what?
01:09:27I'm sorry.
01:09:28For what?
01:09:28I shouldn't have done that.
01:09:29I shouldn't have done that.
01:09:29No.
01:09:30For losing my temper.
01:09:31I shouldn't have done that.
01:09:32You had every right to lose your temper!
01:09:34No, no, no, no, no.
01:09:34If you think that this is what's going to make you feel better, then you should go.
01:09:38You should go with him.
01:09:40You've been through a terrible, terrible thing, Jane.
01:09:44That is not what this is about.
01:09:46Of course it is.
01:09:46You don't love me anymore, Leonard.
01:09:49You don't love me!
01:09:50That's rubbish.
01:09:52This is your ticket.
01:09:55The day after my performance, meet me at the train station.
01:10:01Our training's at 4.30.
01:10:03We'll go home together.
01:10:07I want you to do what you need to do.
01:10:09And then come back to me.
01:10:17No questions asked.
01:10:19No guilt.
01:10:22This is good.
01:10:39No guilt.
01:10:41No guilt.
01:11:44Hi.
01:11:46Hi.
01:11:48You want some?
01:12:02Oh, thanks.
01:12:45Frank, you know, it's coming over in a couple of hours.
01:12:49Frank bought a car, so we're going to head out in a couple of weeks or so, you know.
01:12:57We're thinking of driving through Romania and then Ukraine and down through Russia and through Kazakhstan and then straight to Tibet.
01:14:57You've got to come over to this side.
01:15:00Train's going to be here in a minute.
01:15:01It's four in the morning, the end of December.
01:15:04It's four in the morning, the end of December.
01:15:12It's four in the morning, the end of December.
01:15:30I'm writing you now just to see if you're there.
01:15:37New York is cold, but I like where I'm living.
01:15:42There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
01:15:50I hear that you're building your house deep in the desert.
01:15:59Are you living for nothing now?
01:16:05Hope you're keeping some kind of record.
01:16:11Yes.
01:16:13And Jane came by with a lock of your hair.
01:16:20She said that you gave it to her.
01:16:27That night when you planned to go clear.
01:16:32I wouldn't want to live to be 100.
01:16:35Why not?
01:16:36I'm not telling you why not.
01:16:38Did you ever go clear?
01:16:42Now shut that thing off.
01:16:43Ah, the last...
01:16:44Ah, the last...
