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.
00:01:30The traffic is Napoli...
00:01:32...dove tre, muove...
00:01:33...che zzz!
00:01:35This one is called, for the first place...
00:01:43Shit!
00:01:45Whoa!
00:01:46I can't put my wallet.
00:01:51Where, a Lucy case?
00:01:52No, I don't know if it's not missing.
00:01:54It's not with the person who's sick.
00:01:55Somewhere?
00:01:57Maybe it's in my car.
00:02:00what is going on?
00:02:11What do you think of?
00:02:12no nothing, no discussion
00:02:16did you just give her a minute?
00:02:22one moment
00:02:24Okay, okay, okay, okay.
00:02:26Okay, okay, okay.
00:02:27Okay, okay, okay, okay.
00:02:33Where did you have it last?
00:02:35Um, the train station, I think?
00:02:38The exchange group?
00:02:42Oh, Jamie, I'm sorry.
00:02:47That bastard at the train station started
00:02:49when you dropped all your stuff.
00:02:54This is 170, not 70.
00:02:57Where do we need to go?
00:02:58We need to, we need, we need 70.
00:03:10Here we go.
00:03:20Is this it?
00:03:22Thanks, Ash.
00:03:42It's nice.
00:03:44Yes, I have a credit card.
00:03:45The number is on file on my computer.
00:03:49Yes, I have them here.
00:03:52Okay.
00:03:53Five, five, three, three.
00:03:56Seven, six, four, five.
00:03:59Eight, seven, eight, seven.
00:04:01Nine, one, five, seven.
00:04:04Five, seven.
00:04:07Yeah.
00:04:08Expires 12.15.
00:04:11No, she'll definitely need another card sent out immediately.
00:04:13We're here for two weeks.
00:04:14No, I'm working here.
00:04:17Yes, I'll hold.
00:04:20You love how they ask.
00:04:21As if I have a choice.
00:04:23Do you know what I'm gonna try to do while I'm here?
00:04:25Besides learn Italian.
00:04:26I don't know why you think that's so ridiculous.
00:04:28I don't at all.
00:04:29I admire you.
00:04:30I just think it's too late for me.
00:04:32That's not true.
00:04:33You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
00:04:35And besides, what's the point?
00:04:36The whole bloody world speaks English.
00:04:37Well I...
00:04:38I'm going to finally transcribe the tapes.
00:04:40Yes.
00:04:42All right.
00:04:44Okay.
00:04:45Well if you can see it through to the end and I think that's wonderful.
00:04:50Great.
00:05:03I'm not quite sure who it is, but I'm just...
00:05:05I think that's wonderful.
00:05:07What does that mean?
00:05:10Nothing.
00:05:11Nothing?
00:05:13I think it's a fantastic idea, Jen. I always have, you know that.
00:05:21You shouldn't sound very supportive.
00:05:25You have my support.
00:05:27I'm sorry if that came out wrong.
00:05:31I just know how emotional listening to them can be.
00:05:34Has been for you.
00:05:36I think enough time has passed.
00:05:38Well, that's great.
00:05:39I don't think enough.
00:05:41I think enough time has passed.
00:05:42Why do you think he killed himself?
00:06:08Who?
00:06:08David Foster Wallace.
00:06:12I don't know.
00:06:17You can't get a sense by his writing?
00:06:19You have to read it when I'm done, don't you?
00:06:26Do you think he recognized a blank infinity just stretching out?
00:06:34He got to this point maybe where it was just day after day after day.
00:06:38I really don't know.
00:06:40Do you know?
00:06:41Just so tedious.
00:06:43And of course he felt guilty.
00:06:46Most people think life is too short and there he was, all the talent in the world, and it wasn't...
00:06:49Jane, can I... can we not talk about this?
00:06:52Just, just, just a bit more, a bit.
00:07:06Love you.
00:07:13Love you too.
00:07:15Do you feel alright?
00:07:17Do you feel okay?
00:07:19Yeah.
00:07:20You feel okay?
00:07:22Yeah.
00:07:23You sure?
00:07:24Mm-hmm.
00:07:26Mm-hmm.
00:07:27Do you feel alright?
00:07:29Do you feel okay?
00:07:30Yeah.
00:07:31You sure?
00:07:33Mm-hmm.
00:07:34Mm-hmm.
00:07:57Mm-hmm.
00:09:01Are you sure you won't come with?
00:09:18You'll be so busy.
00:09:21We get boring all alone.
00:09:24I think someone should be here in case the card is delivered.
00:09:26True.
00:09:33Then I think I might go out, see what the world has to offer.
00:09:37If you do, leave me a message, okay?
00:09:42So I can worry about you.
00:09:44Okay.
00:09:44I've left you some money here.
00:09:54I'll see you later.
00:09:55Have a good day.
00:09:56There you go.
00:10:20Testing, 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,
00:10:44she 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
00:10:51he said,
00:10:53I was in a shelter last night
00:10:54with 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,
00:11:12from Italy, from any front lines
00:11:14and this man
00:11:17he had blood in his hair.
00:11:21Good night.
00:11:34Come on.
00:11:35Goodbye.
00:11:40Good night tonight.
00:11:46Good night tonight,
00:11:47We 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.
00:12:47Not just your father.
00:12:50You'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.
00:13:04You want to ask me more boring questions about the war?
00:13:07All right, then.
00:13:08Uh, scusi.
00:13:12Scusi.
00:13:13Um, the castle?
00:13:15Castle?
00:13:16Parlato inglese?
00:13:18No, no, no.
00:13:19No?
00:13:19No.
00:13:20Um, castello oregonese?
00:13:23Ah, andare.
00:13:25Andare?
00:13:26Andare?
00:13:26Grazie.
00:13:26Ah, grazie.
00:13:29They'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
00:13:41and 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,
00:13:50now 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.
00:14:49How do you keep your violin
00:14:50from 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?
00:15:10Because even though you know it's coming,
00:15:15there'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,
00:15:21and I went to this music-slash-nerd summer camp
00:15:23when I was, like, ten,
00:15:24and 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.
00:15:32You newlywed?
00:15:33No.
00:15:34No.
00:15:34No.
00:15:36No.
00:15:45That's it.
00:15:46That's it.
00:15:46That's it.
00:15:47Stop making me feel like a stalker.
00:15:48Fuck.
00:15:48One Italian, please.
00:15:49One Italian, please.
00:15:5010.
00:15:5110.
00:15:57One?
00:15:58One.
00:15:58Five.
00:15:59All right.
00:15:59Oh, hey, have you got 50 cents?
00:16:05If you can catch it.
00:16:09Grazie.
00:16:10Grazie.
00:16:29What brought you out of here today?
00:16:35Fairy.
00:16:36Ha!
00:16:37Fairy.
00:16:38I like it.
00:16:40They have this device down in the basement.
00:16:42It's like a torture cage.
00:16:43They lock you in there until you turn to bones.
00:16:47But can you imagine dying by just sitting there?
00:16:50That would suck.
00:16:51In like the 1300s, thousands of families lived in this castle.
00:17:02It doesn't smell pretty bad.
00:17:04All those people crammed onto this rock.
00:17:10Wow.
00:17:11I know.
00:17:12I've been coming here every day and it still gets me.
00:17:15If only we could kill off all the tourists.
00:17:18You're a tourist.
00:17:21No, I'm not.
00:17:23I came out here a few months ago with this volunteer organization
00:17:27dedicated to studying the relic populations of dolphins and whales
00:17:31in the Gulf of Naples.
00:17:33I can't tell if you're joking.
00:17:35I'm dead fucking serious.
00:17:39I just didn't want to go to college and they paid for me to come over.
00:17:42Before connecting flights, it's a 72-hour plane ride.
00:17:44But you know, it was worth it.
00:17:46My first time out of the U.S.
00:17:47How old are you?
00:17:48I'm 19.
00:17:49It's my birthday today.
00:17:50Is it really?
00:17:51Uh-huh.
00:17:52Happy birthday.
00:17:53Thank you very much.
00:17:55Yeah, so I left the program after like a month.
00:17:58Fuck the relic dolphins!
00:18:00I stayed on the island because I have this awesome living situation.
00:18:04I'll tell you the short version.
00:18:05Basically, I used to have ancestors in Ischia, so when I come over, I Facebook this second cousin twice removed.
00:18:10The second cousin twice removed, in case you didn't know, is when one person's great-grandparent is another person's great-great-great-grandparent.
00:18:16I'd love to hear the long version.
00:18:18Sorry.
00:18:19Anyway, so this relative gave me the name of this great uncle who lives on the island, so I show up.
00:18:25He answers the door and he's like the oldest fucker I've ever seen, easily pushing a hundred.
00:18:30A hundred?
00:18:31Yeah, if not older, he's like deaf and blind and about four feet tall.
00:18:36He mumbles a couple of things to me in some crazy dialect, ushers me inside, pours me a glass of wine and leads me to this basement apartment.
00:18:43And, uh, yeah, I never left.
00:19:01You'll feel it too.
00:19:14Yeah.
00:19:15I never left.
00:19:17Go.
00:19:19Go.
00:19:20Sorry.
00:19:21Go.
00:19:23Go.
00:19:24Go.
00:19:25Go.
00:19:26Go.
00:19:27Go.
00:19:28Go.
00:19:30Love teaches me to feed on flames and tears, to turn withered hope green through desire,
00:19:49to re-enslave my heart each time love frees his noble face from that heavy disdain.
00:19:55Who is that?
00:19:59Vittoria Colonna.
00:20:01Ah, the woman who lived here.
00:20:04You read that in your guidebook this morning, didn't you, Jane?
00:20:09Sneaky.
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.
00:20:35Okay.
00:20:36Okay.
00:20:37I'm impressed.
00:20:39I'm impressed.
00:20:41Are you hungry?
00:20:42Why are you going to take me out?
00:20:43I'm impressed.
00:20:45Are you hungry?
00:20:46Why are you going to take me out?
00:20:47Yeah.
00:20:48Why are you going to take me out?
00:20:49Yeah.
00:20:50All right then.
00:20:51Okay.
00:20:52Okay.
00:20:53Okay.
00:20:54Okay.
00:20:55Two pastas, we're going to take me out.
00:20:56All right then.
00:20:57Okay.
00:20:58Two pastas with the house sauce.
00:20:59Two pastas with the house sauce.
00:21:04Red.
00:21:05Red.
00:21:06Red.
00:21:07Red.
00:21:08Red.
00:21:09Red.
00:21:10Uh-huh.
00:21:12Grazie.
00:21:13So, you're really not going to tell me what you do?
00:21:14I write freelance articles about parties and fashion.
00:21:18I know what you're going to do.
00:21:19Anyreet, Trivia.
00:21:20Yes.
00:21:21Really?
00:21:22All right, all right, yeah.
00:21:24All right.
00:21:25All right.
00:21:26Let me know.
00:21:27Okay.
00:21:28All right, then.
00:21:29All right.
00:21:30All right, then.
00:21:31Okay.
00:21:32Two pastas with the house sauce, please.
00:21:33All right, then.
00:21:34Okay.
00:21:35Two pastas with the house sauce, please?
00:21:38Red.
00:21:39White?
00:21:40I write freelance articles about parties and fashion trends in town and country U.K.
00:21:46There's something else.
00:21:54I'm writing a book about my grandmother's experiences in rural England,
00:21:59living through two world wars.
00:22:01I recorded her for hours and hours.
00:22:04But now, I don't know.
00:22:09What don't you know?
00:22:10You want to listen?
00:22:13A little?
00:22:15Yeah.
00:22:16Yeah?
00:22:17Yeah, no, I love to listen.
00:22:34All tangled up.
00:22:35Hold on.
00:22:36Okay.
00:22:36Awful as it was, it made you stronger.
00:22:45These days, people whine about all sorts of things.
00:22:49I'm not one of those old people who think my time had the only joy and the only problems.
00:22:52We all have our own private wars every era, but it was nothing like it really brought people together, the war.
00:23:02We helped each other during that time.
00:23:05We had to laugh.
00:23:06We had to smile.
00:23:07Well, if not for ourselves, then for the people we'd lost.
00:23:11I'll shut that thing off.
00:23:13Would you get it out of my face?
00:23:15That is like, it's like a window in time.
00:23:23The sort of thing you wish you always did before someone died, you know?
00:23:27My husband thinks I'm never going to finish it.
00:23:30I shouldn't care what anyone thinks.
00:23:32We met while I was recording her.
00:23:35Bonding over Granny, huh?
00:23:38Make it sound perverse.
00:23:40That's what it was, right?
00:23:43Buongiorno.
00:23:43Buongiorno.
00:23:44Signori.
00:23:45I got pregnant, so we got married.
00:24:01I lost the baby.
00:24:05I'm sorry.
00:24:06I didn't go back after that to the States.
00:24:36Did you, uh, did you ever hear that story about the red string?
00:24:43I 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, uh, your soulmate
00:24:56or your family or, you know, someone you bump into on the street, we're all connected by
00:25:04this red string.
00:25:06It can be tangled or stretched, but it can never be broken.
00:25:17There's this moment in the tape.
00:25:21I'm sitting, waiting in the airport bar for my flight.
00:25:24And I'm talking into the recorder, rambling on about how I'm about to embark on this amazing
00:25:32adventure and how I'm going to show World War II from a totally different perspective.
00:25:37I don't know if it's that interesting.
00:25:50I don't know if it's the whole point, isn't it?
00:25:51Keeping it interesting for yourself.
00:25:55Maybe.
00:25:56Maybe.
00:25:57Maybe I just want to write about nothing.
00:26:01Everything is nothing.
00:26:02All the best.
00:26:03Compliano.
00:26:04Grazie.
00:26:05Grazie.
00:26:06Make a wish.
00:26:07Oh, yeah.
00:26:08Make a wish.
00:26:09Oh, yeah.
00:26:10Make it great.
00:26:11Okay.
00:26:12Okay.
00:26:13Bravo.
00:26:14Bravo.
00:26:15Hey.
00:26:16You ready?
00:26:17You ready?
00:26:18What do you mean I'm ready?
00:26:19You ready?
00:26:20You ready?
00:26:21What do you mean I'm ready?
00:26:22You ready?
00:26:23What?
00:26:24Grab my hand.
00:26:25Wait.
00:26:26Go, go, go.
00:26:27Oh, my God.
00:26:28Oh, my gosh.
00:26:29Oh, no.
00:26:30Oh, no.
00:26:31What?
00:26:32What do you mean I'm ready?
00:26:33You ready?
00:26:34What?
00:26:35Grab my hand.
00:26:36Wait.
00:26:37Go, go, go.
00:26:38Oh, my God.
00:26:39Oh, my gosh.
00:26:40Oh, my gosh.
00:26:41Oh, no.
00:26:42What?
00:26:43What do you mean?
00:26:44Hey.
00:26:45Hey.
00:26:46Hey.
00:26:47Hey.
00:26:48Hey.
00:26:49It's the carabinerary.
00:26:50Hey.
00:26:51Hey.
00:26:52Hey.
00:26:53Hey.
00:26:54Hey.
00:26:55Hey.
00:26:56Hey.
00:26:57Hey.
00:26:58Hey.
00:26:59Hey, get it.
00:27:00Hey, get that.
00:27:01Hey.
00:27:02Hey.
00:27:03If we can't go back, we can't go back if you had a меньin'.
00:27:05Go back and get the rest of it!
00:27:09I can't pay for you, I'm getting away!
00:27:13Oh, God!
00:27:15Oh, God!
00:27:27Did it make you feel better if I said I said the whole thing up?
00:27:30Yes, it's true.
00:27:32Yes, it's true.
00:27:34I made the check when I went to the bathroom.
00:27:39You're horrible.
00:27:41You're horrible.
00:27:43You're really horrible.
00:27:44Come on, let's go.
00:27:45Come on.
00:27:47Quick.
00:27:48Let's go.
00:27:51Why are we still running?
00:27:52I don't know why we're still running.
00:28:04Oh, my gosh.
00:28:05Oh, my gosh.
00:28:06Oh, my gosh.
00:28:13What up my nose?
00:28:14Can we come back?
00:28:19Maybe.
00:28:20Maybe is not a no, and since I don't have a phone, you're going to have to give me your number for cheap thrills and future crimes committed.
00:28:34No.
00:28:35Fair enough.
00:28:37I've got to go catch a fairy.
00:28:53Hey.
00:28:54Why do violists keep their viola cases on their dashboards?
00:29:08Why?
00:29:09So they can park in handicapped spots.
00:29:23Oh.
00:29:24Happy birthday.
00:29:26Oh.
00:29:27Happy birthday.
00:29:29Oh.
00:29:30Happy birthday.
00:30:29You're awake.
00:30:50Yeah, I've got so much of this stuff to get through.
00:30:55Got through.
00:30:57Nice.
00:31:27They stay with me too.
00:31:39Jane.
00:31:41Tony.
00:31:43I've got some pastries.
00:31:51You're still asleep?
00:31:53Jane.
00:31:55You're still asleep.
00:32:07You're still asleep.
00:32:19My friends had lots of American boyfriends and they used to bring us nylon stockings and chocolates and all sorts of things.
00:32:27And we used to go to London and we saw Glenn Miller one time.
00:32:33We used to go all over the place.
00:32:35They were wonderful times.
00:32:37I never had an American boyfriend.
00:32:41I liked some of them.
00:32:43They were nice boys, but I didn't want to leave my mom and dad.
00:32:51I wish I had sometimes.
00:32:53You know when you were 19 and the world just felt so open and carefree and full of possibility.
00:33:01You reminded me of that.
00:33:03At that time.
00:33:05You were 19 when we met.
00:33:07Yeah.
00:33:08I wouldn't have described it as carefree back then.
00:33:10Not at all.
00:33:11Well, I felt nostalgia.
00:33:13Or something.
00:33:14For youth.
00:33:15You're not old, Jane.
00:33:17We ran out on the bill.
00:33:19You just ran out?
00:33:21What do you mean you ran out on the bill?
00:33:23Perhaps I'm not explaining it well.
00:33:25It was...
00:33:26It was fun.
00:33:28It was just fun.
00:33:40How was work?
00:33:42The conductor's actually a descendant of Walter Lake, which is fascinating.
00:33:47The three of us should plan a dinner before we leave.
00:33:50I'd like that.
00:33:53Jane?
00:33:54Oh my God.
00:33:55This is Caleb.
00:33:56Hi.
00:33:57No, no.
00:33:58We were just talking about you.
00:33:59We were?
00:34:00That's so weird.
00:34:01Sit.
00:34:02Please.
00:34:03Sit down.
00:34:04Join us.
00:34:05What?
00:34:06Oh.
00:34:07I don't have a chance of a win.
00:34:08I know, right?
00:34:09I'm obviously going to get back pretty soon.
00:34:11That's okay.
00:34:12I already ate so I can't get back.
00:34:14I can't get back.
00:34:15I can't get back.
00:34:16I can't get back.
00:34:17I can't get back.
00:34:18I can't get back.
00:34:19I can't get back.
00:34:20That's okay.
00:34:21I-I already ate so I'll just grab a coffee or something.
00:34:33Can I have the check please?
00:34:35Okay.
00:34:36In a cafe, play for play?
00:34:42Oh, no thank you.
00:34:43Okay.
00:34:47Jane, you don't smoke.
00:34:49Yes I do.
00:34:51Sometimes, at parties.
00:34:54You know that.
00:34:56Well, I don't do it a lot.
00:34:57You know that.
00:34:58Well, I don't do it a lot.
00:35:02Grazie.
00:35:03Grazie.
00:35:04Grazie.
00:35:08Italian food's so overrated.
00:35:10I love it.
00:35:11There's no variety.
00:35:13English food, on the other hand.
00:35:15Say what you like about it.
00:35:16There's nothing like a good steak and kidney pie.
00:35:19I went to this party the other day in this villa owned by this old drunk ex-pat.
00:35:26They had like a private chef and everything.
00:35:28And they were serving this like loaf of meat covered in sauce with all these other loaves.
00:35:34And this girl came over to me and said it was cat.
00:35:37No.
00:35:38No joke.
00:35:39Like a roasted mommy cat and her kittens.
00:35:43That is disgusting.
00:35:45True story.
00:35:51Why don't you tell Leonard one of your viola jokes?
00:35:57Come on.
00:35:59You're selling my aunt.
00:36:01Come on.
00:36:02Let's hear one.
00:36:04Um.
00:36:07I have one.
00:36:11What is the definition of perfect pitch?
00:36:16What?
00:36:20When you throw a viola into the dumpster without hitting the rim.
00:36:25You didn't just make that up.
00:36:26I did.
00:36:27It's too good.
00:36:28I did.
00:36:29Well, I'm impressed and I'm stealing it.
00:36:31You can pretty much make that joke about any instrument.
00:36:38Did you play anything, Caleb?
00:36:39This and that, you know.
00:36:43Shall we?
00:36:44Yeah.
00:36:45What time to go?
00:36:46Already?
00:36:47Yeah.
00:36:48I've got to get back to work.
00:36:49I've got to get back to work.
00:36:50Hmm.
00:36:59So what's next on your agenda, Caleb?
00:37:02Um.
00:37:03I'm thinking Tibet.
00:37:04Oh, Tibet.
00:37:05Really?
00:37:06Yeah.
00:37:07There's this thing called the Shantan Festival at the end of the summer.
00:37:09Yeah, I've heard about that.
00:37:10That's where the Buddhist monks unroll all the tapestries on the hill, right?
00:37:15The monks, the monks, the monks.
00:37:16It's so pretty.
00:37:17How do you support yourself?
00:37:19You know, a bit of this, a bit of that.
00:37:27Oh.
00:37:28All right, then.
00:37:29I'll walk you.
00:37:30Does anybody have a pen?
00:37:31You got a pen?
00:37:32Yeah, I have a pen.
00:37:41Okay.
00:37:46I have a piece of paper.
00:37:49You guys should definitely come over to the island.
00:37:51I'll take you somewhere fun, you know.
00:37:53But don't knock on the front door.
00:37:55Come around the side.
00:37:56I need Regina.
00:37:58Lucia.
00:38:01There you go.
00:38:05And thanks again for yesterday.
00:38:07Oh, no problem.
00:38:10Okay.
00:38:12Ciao.
00:38:16How stoned are you?
00:38:21Come on, man.
00:38:22We should tell him a pub.
00:38:23It's not a big deal.
00:38:27So you're saying you smoke back at her?
00:38:30Occasionally.
00:38:31Hey, can we do something fun tonight?
00:38:34Sure.
00:38:38I'm fine from here.
00:38:40Okay.
00:38:41See you after work.
00:38:42Yep.
00:38:43I'll be waiting.
00:38:46Hey.
00:38:47God, you scared me.
00:38:48Are you following me?
00:38:50Okay, no.
00:38:51I'm coming.
00:38:52I'm coming.
00:38:54No.
00:38:56No, no.
00:38:57Okay.
00:38:58I'm coming.
00:38:59I'm coming.
00:39:01I'm like, oh my God.
00:39:02I'll be waiting for you.
00:39:03I'm coming.
00:39:04I'm coming.
00:39:05I'm coming.
00:39:07I'm here.
00:39:08Okay, no.
00:39:09I'm coming.
00:39:10I'm coming.
00:39:12Hey.
00:39:13Hey.
00:39:14God, you scared me.
00:39:16Are you following me?
00:39:18Maybe?
00:39:20Is that weird?
00:39:22Yeah.
00:39:30I couldn't sleep last night.
00:39:36You told me you were staying near the port so I got the first ferry this morning.
00:39:40I came looking for you.
00:39:42And I can't believe I found you.
00:40:12What are we doing?
00:40:16I think we're making it out.
00:40:18I think we're making it out.
00:40:20So sexy.
00:40:22And beautiful.
00:40:24So sexy.
00:40:26And beautiful.
00:40:28So sexy.
00:40:30And beautiful.
00:40:32So sexy.
00:40:34And beautiful.
00:40:36So sexy.
00:40:38And lovely.
00:40:42So sexy.
00:40:44So sexy.
00:40:46So sexy.
00:40:48So sexy.
00:40:50I know.
00:40:52I can't do this.
00:41:09What?
00:41:10What?
00:41:11I can't do this.
00:41:12Why?
00:41:13Do you do this a lot?
00:41:24What?
00:41:25Do you do this a lot?
00:41:26What?
00:41:27Do you seduce women?
00:41:28Is this what you do?
00:41:30You need to be less serious.
00:41:34Don't follow me.
00:41:43I'm sorry.
00:41:50I can't do this.
00:41:55I can't do this.
00:42:00I can't do this.
00:42:06I can't do this.
00:42:11I can't do this.
00:42:23I can't do this.
00:42:26I can't do this.
00:42:28There was one boy from Belgium, he was lovely, he had a moustache, my mother hated moustaches.
00:42:54But he was shipped off. I never saw him again.
00:43:04Anyways, I met your grandfather not long after, and we got married.
00:43:09Was it love at first sight with Grandpa?
00:43:12Love at first sight? Stop that thing!
00:43:16I know. You're home early.
00:43:24I do deserve that.
00:43:29You know, it doesn't work for your husband.
00:43:33Jane, I'm sorry, just give me a minute. I have a hell of a mess of my day. I've got so much stuff to do.
00:43:43Sorry, darling.
00:43:46Hey, do you still want to do something fun tonight?
00:43:49Yeah, absolutely. Lots of dinner. I thought we'd just stay in here. The two of us.
00:43:55I've just got to work this thing out for tomorrow.
00:43:57OK.
00:43:58OK. I'm sorry.
00:44:00OK.
00:44:01OK.
00:44:03OK.
00:44:04OK.
00:44:05OK.
00:44:36Leonard, can we talk?
00:45:06Say cheese.
00:45:29Oh, you should kind of be in the middle of mine.
00:45:39Hold on a second.
00:45:39That's what our living room is missing.
00:45:52What 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.
00:46:14Come on.
00:46:44Come on.
00:46:50Come on.
00:46:56Come on.
00:46:58Come on.
00:46:59Come on.
00:47:00Oh, my God.
00:47:30Oh, my God.
00:48:00Oh, my God.
00:48:30Oh, my God.
00:49:00Oh, my God.
00:49:02Did I wake you?
00:49:03No.
00:49:06I think I need to be less serious.
00:49:08Yeah.
00:49:13I'm going to put my pants on.
00:49:16Okay.
00:49:38I'm going to put my pants on.
00:52:52You said that?
00:52:56Wait.
00:52:58You're delicious.
00:52:59You make me feel nervous.
00:53:19You make me feel calm.
00:53:24You want a drink?
00:53:49You make me feel calm.
00:53:51You make me feel calm.
00:53:55You make me feel calm.
00:54:02You make me feel calm.
00:54:06You make me feel calm.
00:54:13You make me feel calm.
00:54:16It must be lonely.
00:54:46It must be lonely.
00:55:16It must be lonely.
00:55:46It must be lonely.
00:55:48It must be lonely.
00:55:52It must be lonely.
00:55:56It must be lonely.
00:55:58It must be lonely.
00:56:02It must be lonely.
00:56:04It must be lonely.
00:56:08It must be lonely.
00:56:10It must be lonely.
00:56:14It must be lonely.
00:56:16It must be lonely.
00:56:18It must be lonely.
00:56:20It must be lonely.
00:56:22It must be lonely.
00:56:24It must be lonely.
00:56:26It must be lonely.
00:56:28It must be lonely.
00:56:30It must be lonely.
00:56:33Can you be late?
00:56:34No, I can't be late.
00:56:38Leonard.
00:56:39Jay, whatever you have to say to me, I want to hear it.
00:56:43I've committed myself.
00:56:45People are depending on me. I have to go to work.
00:56:51Okay.
00:57:02If it wasn't the war, it would have been something else.
00:57:17There's always something else.
00:57:21If it wasn't the war, it would have been something else.
00:57:27There's always something else.
00:57:29There's always something else, isn't there?
00:57:33That's the thing. That's the thing about struggle.
00:57:48I'm going to make some tea. Do you want some?
00:57:51I'm all right.
00:57:59If you go out like that again, just tell me.
00:58:02No worry.
00:58:05Okay.
00:58:08I can't seem to figure out what's going on in your head.
00:58:11Okay.
00:58:25Do you think everything we've been through actually does us any good?
00:58:30In the long run?
00:58:31Or do we just make our struggle to be something meaningful because that's all most of us have?
00:58:39I'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.
00:59:05I don't know what you want me to say, Jane.
00:59:26If one little thing had changed in my grandmother's life, I might not be here.
00:59:39Sometimes I worry I'm not honoring her.
00:59:44With the book?
00:59:45No, with my life.
00:59:55This is it, you know.
00:59:57It ends with me.
01:00:04In the harvest time, we all went to the field where they were cutting the corn.
01:00:07Everyone was chasing rabbits and then we had our tea in the harvest fields.
01:00:20The horses.
01:00:21Yeah.
01:00:27The horses back then, they were kept beautifully.
01:00:31Dad used to dress them all up, brass things and little horseshoes.
01:00:38He put braids on them.
01:00:40They used to be gorgeous.
01:00:42What are your plans for tomorrow?
01:00:45There was one.
01:00:47Duke.
01:00:49He was a Clydesdale I used to ride down to the marshes every night when he finished working.
01:00:59They were lovely days, really.
01:01:07They're gone.
01:01:08They're gone.
01:01:09For me.
01:01:10Jane.
01:01:13But not for you.
01:01:14Jane.
01:01:16You know, it's different for you.
01:01:18In some ways, it's easier.
01:01:20You haven't got the war.
01:01:21People don't die as much as they did back then.
01:01:23But in some ways, it's more disjointed.
01:01:29You've got to make your own life.
01:01:32One that you love and you can't be afraid of the...
01:01:36The time.
01:01:40Time is shiftable.
01:01:41There are moments in my life that I would trade 60 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.
01:02:05Oh, sorry.
01:02:11Ah!
01:02:13What is it?
01:02:15Oh!
01:02:17Oh, you...
01:02:19Are you alright?
01:02:22You okay?
01:02:23Yeah, I stung my toe.
01:02:26It's bleeding.
01:02:28It's fine.
01:02:30It's fine.
01:02:31It's fine.
01:02:33Are you finishing that?
01:02:35Yes.
01:02:36Fuck.
01:02:47I met these backpackers last night, Frank and Elsa.
01:02:50She's French, he's German.
01:02:52They're going to Tibet.
01:02:55And I'm going with them.
01:02:59I want you to come with me.
01:03:02I'm going with you.
01:03:04I apologize.
01:03:05I want you to go.
01:03:06I'm sorry...
01:03:07I'm sorry.
01:03:08I'm sorry.
01:03:10I'm sorry.
01:03:11I'm sorry.
01:03:13I'm sorry.
01:03:15I'm sorry.
01:03:17I'm sorry.
01:03:19I'm sorry.
01:03:20I'm sorry.
01:03:22This is an Mayan.
01:03:23I'm sorry.
01:03:25I know.
01:03:27I was just, I'm sorry.
01:03:28I'm sorry.
01:03:59Hi.
01:04:05Hi.
01:04:07How are you?
01:04:10Long day.
01:04:14God, why don't 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.
01:04:29It'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?
01:04:48Well, the 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.
01:06:13I 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?
01:06:29Of 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.
01:06:44I 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.
01:06:55How does that make you feel?
01:07:04It'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.
01:09:12I'm sorry.
01:09:24For what?
01:09:24I 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.
01:09:44No, that 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.
01:10:13And then come back to me.
01:10:16No questions asked.
01:10:19No guilt.
01:10:22This is good.
01:10:46No guilt.
01:10:49Bye.
01:10:50Bye.
01:11:00Bye.
01:11:01Bye.
01:11:01Bye.
01:11:01Bye.
01:11:10Bye.
01:11:14Bye.
01:11:44Hi.
01:11:47Hi.
01:11:59You want some?
01:12:02Oh, thanks.
01:12:14Hi.
01:12:15Hi.
01:12:16Hi.
01:12:17Hi.
01:12:18I'm coming over in a couple hours.
01:12:48Frank bought a car, so we're going to head out in a couple of weeks or so, you know.
01:13:00I'm thinking of driving through Romania and then Ukraine and down through Russia and through Kazakhstan and then straight to Tibet.
01:13:18I'm coming over in a couple of weeks.
01:13:25I'm coming over in a couple of weeks.
01:13:30I'm coming over in a couple of weeks.
01:13:37I'm coming over in a couple of weeks.
01:13:44I'm coming over in a couple of weeks.
01:13:51I'm coming over in a couple of weeks.
01:14:06I'm coming over in a couple of weeks.
01:14:09I'm coming over in a couple of weeks.
01:14:13I'm coming over in a couple of weeks.
01:14:15I'm coming over in a couple of weeks.
01:14:22I'm coming over in a couple of weeks.
01:14:24I'm coming over in a couple of weeks.
01:14:27It's a very good laugh.
01:14:29Please call me the police.
01:14:31This is my job.
01:14:33I love you.
01:14:35I love you.
01:14:37And I love you.
01:14:39I love you.
01:14:41I love you.
01:14:43You're right.
01:14:45I love you.
01:14:47I love you.
01:14:49I love you.
01:14:51I love you.
01:14:53Jay!
01:14:55You've got to come over to this side.
01:14:59The train's going to be here in a minute.
01:15:02It's 4 in the morning, the end of December.
01:15:30I'm riding you now just to see if you're there.
01:15:37New York is cold but I like where I'm living.
01:15:43There'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?
01:16:06Hope you're keeping some kind of record.
01:16:11Yes.
01:16:12And Jane came by with a lock of your hair.
01:16:22She said that you gave it to her that night when you planned to go clear.
01:16:33I wouldn't want to live to be 100.
01:16:35Why not?
01:16:36I'm not telling you why not.
01:16:40Now shut that thing off.
