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.
00:01:30It's gonna be..
00:01:31Taffico di Napoli.
00:01:32Taffico di Napoli.
00:01:33Mostre..
00:01:34Monde.
00:01:35Cazzo.
00:01:36Questa si si fa al primo posto.
00:01:41Shit.
00:01:45What?
00:01:46Can't put my wallet.
00:01:51Where, in the sea pace?
00:01:52No, no the assumption comes out with the vessel.
00:01:55Somewhere.
00:01:56Maybe it's in the club.
00:02:00What is this? What do you think?
00:02:12She's lost for posts, for posts.
00:02:14No, I don't know what he had. He didn't shoot me.
00:02:18You didn't know anything?
00:02:20Just give her a minute.
00:02:22One moment, one moment.
00:02:24I don't know anything, I'm going to lose my time.
00:02:26I don't know anything.
00:02:30Where did you have it last?
00:02:34The train station, I think?
00:02:38The exchange booth?
00:02:42Oh, Jamie, I'm sorry.
00:02:46That bastard at the train station started when you dropped all your stuff.
00:02:52This is 170, not 70.
00:02:56Where do we need to go?
00:02:58We need sevens.
00:03:10Here we go.
00:03:20Is this it?
00:03:22Thanks, man.
00:03:28It's nice.
00:03:42Yes, I have a credit card.
00:03:46Numbers on file on my computer.
00:03:48Yes, I have them here.
00:03:52Okay, five, five, three, three, seven, six, four, five, eight, seven, eight, seven, nine, one, five, seven.
00:04:04Five, seven.
00:04:06Yeah.
00:04:08Expires 12.15.
00:04:10No, she'll definitely need another card sent out immediately.
00:04:14We're here for two weeks.
00:04:16No, I'm working here.
00:04:18Yes, I'll hold.
00:04:22You love how they ask, as if I have a choice.
00:04:26Do you know what I'm gonna try to do while I'm here?
00:04:30Besides, learn Italian.
00:04:32I don't know why you think that's so ridiculous.
00:04:34You don't at all.
00:04:36I admire you.
00:04:37I just think it's too late for me.
00:04:39That's not true.
00:04:41You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
00:04:44And besides, what's the point?
00:04:47The whole bloody world speaks English.
00:04:49Well, I am going to finally transcribe the tapes.
00:04:54Yes.
00:04:56All right.
00:04:58Okay.
00:05:00Well, if you can see it through to the end, I think that's wonderful.
00:05:06What does that mean?
00:05:08Nothing.
00:05:10Nothing?
00:05:11I think it's a fantastic idea, Jen.
00:05:15I always have.
00:05:16You know that?
00:05:17She sounds very supportive.
00:05:22You have my support.
00:05:27I'm sorry if that came out wrong.
00:05:29I just know how emotional listening to them can be.
00:05:34Has been for you.
00:05:35I think enough time has passed.
00:05:37Well, that's great.
00:05:52Why do you think he killed himself?
00:06:08Who?
00:06:11David Foster Wallace.
00:06:13I don't know.
00:06:17You can't get a sense by his writing?
00:06:20You have to read it when I'm done, don't I?
00:06:28Do 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, Jen.
00:06:40Just so tedious.
00:06:43And then, of course, he felt guilty.
00:06:46Most people think life is too short and there he was, all the talent in the world,
00:06:49and it wasn't enough.
00:06:50Jen, can I...
00:06:51Can we not talk about this?
00:06:53Just...
00:06:54Just...
00:06:55Just a bit moment.
00:06:57I love you.
00:07:13I love you too.
00:07:27Do you feel alright?
00:07:28Do you feel okay?
00:07:29Yeah.
00:07:30Are you sure?
00:07:31Mm-hmm.
00:07:32Mm-hmm.
00:07:33Do you feel alright?
00:07:34Do you feel okay?
00:07:35Yeah.
00:07:36Are you sure?
00:07:37Mm-hmm.
00:07:38Do you feel okay?
00:07:39Do you feel okay?
00:07:40Yeah.
00:07:41You sure.
00:07:47Mm-hmm.
00:09:18You'll be so busy.
00:09:22We get boring all alone.
00:09:24I think someone should be here in case the card is delivered.
00:09:28True.
00:09:33Then I think I might go out, see what the world has to offer.
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.
00:09:52I'll see you later.
00:09:55Have a good day.

00:10:42mother your great-grandmother she was shaking sirens wailed and and then there was a sound of
00:10:49a bomb and the man next to us he said i was in a shelter last night with my wife and my little boy
00:10:56and half of it got blown away there was blood in his hair he was all alone that nearly finished my

00:11:19a cappuccino
00:11:26Good night today, for the glory of his dad.
00:11:50We 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.
00:12:10It 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.

00:12:30Um, anyway, I'll be home later.
00:12:33I hope you have a good day. Bye.
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.
00:12:49You'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?
00:13:16Parlato inglese?
00:13:17No, no, no, no.
00:13:19No?
00:13:19No.
00:13:20Um, Castello Aureganese?
00:13:23Ah, andare.
00:13:25Andare?
00:13:26Andare?
00:13:26Sì.
00:13:26Ah, grazie.
00:13:27I'm actually going there now, to the castle.
00:13:52Do you 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.
00:14:16Oh.
00:14:16Sorry, I 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 month.
00:14:35Cool.
00:14:36What does he play?
00:14:37Viola.
00:14:39Mm, mm, mm.
00:14:40The viola.
00:14:42Any good?
00:14:44Yes.
00:14:45Very.
00:14:46How do you keep your violin from getting stolen?
00:14:53You put it in a viola case, right?
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,
00:15:14there'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, 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.
00:15:32Are you newlywed?
00:15:34No.
00:15:36No.
00:15:46That's it.
00:15:47You're making me feel like a stalker.
00:15:49Fuck.
00:15:49You want to give me 10, please?
00:15:5010, 10.
00:15:5110, 10.
00:15:58One?
00:15:58Done.
00:15:59All right.
00:16:02Oh, hey, have you got 50 cents?
00:16:06You can catch it.
00:16:07What brought you out of here today?
00:16:35Barry.
00:16:36Barry?
00:16:36Ha!
00:16:37Barry.
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 up bones.
00:16:48But can you imagine dying by just sitting there?
00:16:51That would suck.
00:16:58In, like, the 1300s,
00:17:00thousands of families lived in this castle.
00:17:03It doesn't smell pretty bad.
00:17:04All those people crammed under this rock.
00:17:10Wow.
00:17:12I know.
00:17:13I've been coming here every day,
00:17:15and it still gets me.
00:17:17If only we could kill off all the tourists.
00:17:20You're a tourist.
00:17:22No, I'm not.
00:17:23I came out here a few months ago
00:17:26with this volunteer organization
00:17:28dedicated to studying
00:17:30the relic populations of dolphins and whales
00:17:32in 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,
00:17:41and they paid for me to come over.
00:17:43Before connecting flights,
00:17:44it's a 72-hour plane ride,
00:17:45but, 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
00:17:57after, like, a month.
00:17:59Fuck the relic dolphins!
00:18:02I stayed on the island
00:18:03because 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,
00:18:09so when I come over,
00:18:10I Facebook this second cousin twice removed.
00:18:12The second cousin twice removed,
00:18:13in case you didn't know,
00:18:14is 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
00:18:23of this great-uncle who lives on the island,
00:18:25so I show up.
00:18:27He answers the door,
00:18:28and he's, like, the oldest fucker I've ever seen,
00:18:30easily pushing 100.
00:18:32100?
00:18:33Yeah, if not older.
00:18:34He's, like, deaf and blind and about four feet tall,
00:18:37and he mumbles a couple of things to me
00:18:38in some crazy dialect,
00:18:40ushers me inside,
00:18:41pours me a glass of wine,
00:18:42and leads me to this basement apartment,
00:18:44and, uh, yeah, I never left.
00:18:55One minute.
00:18:56I heard.
00:18:59Oh, sorry.
00:19:00Oh, hey.
00:19:02I'm not sure how to play my heart.
00:19:12I'm not sure how to play my heart.
00:19:17I'm not sure how to play my heart.
00:19:24Love teaches me to feed on flames and tears,
00:19:43to turn withered hope green through desire,
00:19:49to re-enslave my heart each time love frees his noble face
00:19:53from that heavy disdain.
00:19:57Who is that?
00:19:59Vittoria Colonna.
00:20:02Ah, the woman who lived here.
00:20:05You read that in your guy book this morning, didn't you, Jane?
00:20:09Sneaky.
00:20:11Yeah, I've decided to learn Italian by committing to memory
00:20:13all the sonnets she wrote to Michelangelo in English and Italian.
00:20:18I thought Michelangelo was gay.
00:20:20According to history and the muscular thighs of his sculptures, yes.
00:20:25But that didn't stop her from loving him.
00:20:29Let's hear it then.
00:20:31In Italian.
00:20:33Let's hear the poem.
00:20:35Come on.
00:20:36Okay.
00:20:37Okay.
00:20:38De lacrime a de faco nutria l'alma.
00:20:43Con secca speme reinvedia la voglia.
00:20:49Lega de nuovo il cor quando de scioglia.
00:20:55Segna maggiore la vista tierra ed alma.
00:21:00I'm impressed.
00:21:07You hungry?
00:21:09Why, you gonna take me out?
00:21:12Yeah.
00:21:14All right then.
00:21:15Okay.
00:21:16Two pastas with the house sauce, please?
00:21:29Red.
00:21:30Red.
00:21:31Red.
00:21:32Uh-huh.
00:21:33Grazie.
00:21:34You're not gonna tell me what you do?
00:21:41I write freelance articles about parties and fashion trends in town and country UK.
00:21:46There's something else.
00:21:51I'm writing a book about my grandmother's experiences in rural England living 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?
00:22:12You wanna listen?
00:22:14A little?
00:22:15Yeah.
00:22:16Yeah?
00:22:17Yeah, I know it.
00:22:18I love to listen.
00:22:20That's tangled up.
00:22:35I won't know.
00:22:36Okay.
00:22:37Awful as it was, it made you stronger.
00:22:45These days people whine about all sorts of things.
00:22:48and I'm not one of those old people who think my time had the only joy and the only problems.
00:22:54We all have our own private wars every era, but it was nothing like it.
00:23:00It really brought people together, the war.
00:23:02We helped each other during that time.
00:23:05We had to laugh, we had to smile.
00:23:08Well, if not for ourselves, then for the people we'd lost.
00:23:12I shut that thing off, would you get it out of my face?
00:23:18That is like, it's like a window in time.
00:23:22The 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.
00:23:48I 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.
00:24:31Did you, uh, did you ever hear that story about the Red Strain?
00:24:43I think I might have.
00:24:44Tell me.
00:24:45It's like this Asian proverb says that anyone you're destined to meet, like, uh, your soulmate or your family or, you know, someone you bump into on the street, we're all connected by this red string.
00:25:05It can be tangled or stretched, but it can never be broken.
00:25:12There'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 adventure and how I'm going to show World War II from a totally different perspective.
00:25:37But...
00:25:38I don't know if it's that interesting.
00:25:50That's the whole point, isn't it?
00:25:53Keeping it interesting for yourself.
00:25:57Maybe.
00:25:57Maybe.
00:26:00Maybe I just want to write about nothing.
00:26:02Everything is nothing.
00:26:06All the best.
00:26:07Compliano.
00:26:08Grazie.
00:26:09Grazie.
00:26:09Make a wish, huh?
00:26:14Make it great.
00:26:21Okay.
00:26:25Bravo.
00:26:26Bravo.
00:26:27Hey.
00:26:28Bravo.
00:26:32It's a carabinerie.
00:26:56It's a police.
00:26:57No.
00:26:57No.
00:26:58No.
00:26:58No.
00:26:59No.
00:26:59No.
00:27:00No.
00:27:00No.
00:27:01No.
00:27:02No.
00:27:02No.
00:27:05We can't go back.
00:27:06It's a police.
00:27:10No.
00:27:10We have to.
00:27:11I gotta wake.
00:27:12OK.
00:27:22There you go.
00:27:24Here you go.
00:27:25Wait.
00:27:26It would 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.
00:27:40You're horrible.
00:27:42You're horrible.
00:27:44You're really horrible.
00:27:46Let's go.
00:27:48Let's go.
00:27:50Why are we still running?
00:27:52I don't know why we're still running.
00:27:56Oh my gosh.
00:28:14It went up my nose.
00:28:20We come back?
00:28:22Maybe.
00:28:26Maybe it's not a no.
00:28:28And since I don't have a phone, you're gonna have to give me your number.
00:28:34For cheap thrills and future crimes committed.
00:28:36No.
00:28:40Fair enough.
00:28:42I've got to go.
00:28:52Catch a fairy.
00:28:54Hey.
00:28:58Why do violists keep their viola cases on their dashboards?
00:29:10Why?
00:29:12So they can park in handicapped spots.
00:29:24Happy birthday.
00:29:28Happy birthday.
00:29:32Happy birthday.
00:29:36God bless you.
00:30:06God bless you.
00:30:36God bless you.
00:30:38God bless you.
00:30:42You're awake.
00:30:48Yeah, it looks so much of this stuff to get through.
00:30:54Got through.
00:30:56That's very nice.
00:31:26They stay with me too.
00:31:39Jane. Tony.
00:31:44Got some pastries.
00:31:51You're still asleep?
00:31:53Jane.
00:31:56My friends had lots of American boyfriends, and they used to bring us nylon stockings and chocolates and all sorts of things.
00:32:25And we used to go to London, and we saw Glenn Miller one time. We used to go all over the place. They were wonderful times. I never had an American boyfriend. I liked some of them. They were nice boys, but I didn't want to leave my mum and dad. I 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? You reminded me of that. At that time.
00:33:05You were 19 when we met? Yeah.
00:33:07I wouldn't have described you as carefree back then. Not at all.
00:33:11Well, I felt nostalgia. Or something. For youth.
00:33:15You're not old, Jane.
00:33:17You're not old, Jane.
00:33:18We ran out on the bill.
00:33:19You just ran out? What do you mean you ran out on the bill?
00:33:23Perhaps I'm not explaining it well. It was...
00:33:25It was fun. It was just fun. How was work?
00:33:41The conductor's actually a descendant of Walter Lake, which is fascinating. The three of us were planning dinner before we leave.
00:33:50I'd like that.
00:33:55Jane?
00:33:58Oh, my God. This is Caleb.
00:34:02Hi. No, no. We were just talking about you.
00:34:05We were? That's so weird.
00:34:07Sit. Please. Sit down. Join us.
00:34:09Yeah.
00:34:10What?
00:34:11You had the chances of that.
00:34:14I know, right?
00:34:15I'm off to you when I get back pretty soon.
00:34:21That's okay. I already ate, so I'll just grab a coffee or something.
00:34:34Grab the cheque, please.
00:34:37In a cafe, P-P-P?
00:34:43Oh, no, thank you.
00:34:44Okay.
00:34:47Jane, you don't smoke.
00:34:51Yes, I do.
00:34:53Sometimes, at parties.
00:34:56You didn't know that.
00:34:58Well, I don't do it a lot.
00:35:01Okay?
00:35:02Grazie.
00:35:04Grazie.
00:35:05Grazie.
00:35:08Italian food's so overrated.
00:35:11I love it.
00:35:12There's no variety.
00:35:14English food, on the other hand.
00:35:16Say what you like about it.
00:35:18There's nothing like a good steak and kidney pie.
00:35:20I went to this party the other day in this villa owned by this old, drunk ex-pat.
00:35:27They had, like, a private chef and everything.
00:35:30And, uh, they were serving this, like, loaf of meat covered in sauce with all these other loaves.
00:35:35And this girl came over to me and said it was cat.
00:35:38No.
00:35:39No joke.
00:35:40Like, a roasted mommy cat and her kittens.
00:35:44That is disgusting.
00:35:46True story.
00:35:47Why don't you tell Leonard one of your viola jokes?
00:35:58Come on.
00:36:00I'm selling my ant.
00:36:02Well, come on.
00:36:03Let's hear one.
00:36:04Um...
00:36:05I have one.
00:36:10What is the definition of perfect pitch?
00:36:16What?
00:36:18When you throw a viola into the dumpster without hitting the rim.
00:36:23You 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.
00:36:32You can pretty much make that joke about any instrument.
00:36:38Did you play anything, Caleb?
00:36:40This and that, you know.
00:36:44Shall we?
00:36:46What, time to go? Already?
00:36:49Yeah, I'm gonna get back to work.
00:36:53So what's next on your agenda, Caleb?
00:37:03Um...
00:37:04I'm thinking...
00:37:05Tibet.
00:37:06Oh, Tibet. Really?
00:37:07Yeah, there's this thing called the Shantan Festival at the end of the summer.
00:37:10Yeah, I've heard about that.
00:37:11That's where the Buddhist monks unroll all the tapestries on the hill, right?
00:37:16The monks, the monks, the monks.
00:37:18So pretty.
00:37:20How do you support yourself?
00:37:21You know, a bit of this, a bit of that.
00:37:29Alright then.
00:37:31I'll walk you.
00:37:32Does anybody have a pen?
00:37:33You got a pen?
00:37:34Yeah, I have a pen.
00:37:42Okay.
00:37:43I have a piece of paper.
00:37:44You guys should definitely come over to the island. I'll take you somewhere fun, you know.
00:37:54But don't knock on the front door. Come around the side.
00:37:57Now I need Regina.
00:37:58Whis...
00:38:00And thanks again for yesterday.
00:38:01Oh, no problem.
00:38:02Hey.
00:38:03Ciao.
00:38:04How stoned are you?
00:38:05Come on, man.
00:38:06We're just going to pop.
00:38:07It's not a big deal.
00:38:08So you're saying you smoke back at her?
00:38:09Occasionally.
00:38:10Can we do something fun tonight?
00:38:11Sure.
00:38:12I'm fine from here.
00:38:13Okay.
00:38:14See y'all.
00:38:15Hi.
00:38:16How stoned are you?
00:38:17Come on, man.
00:38:18We should have to pop that.
00:38:19It's not a big deal.
00:38:20So you're saying you smoke back at her?
00:38:21Occasionally.
00:38:22Hey, can we do something fun tonight?
00:38:23Sure.
00:38:24his own pub, it's not a big deal.
00:38:28So you're saying you smoke back at her?
00:38:31Occasionally.
00:38:32Hey, can we do something fun tonight?
00:38:35Sure.
00:38:39I'm fine from here.
00:38:41OK.
00:38:41See you after work.
00:38:42Yep.
00:38:43I'll be waiting.
00:38:54OK.
00:39:15Hey.
00:39:15God, you scared me.
00:39:17Are you following me?
00:39:19Maybe?
00:39:20Is that weird?
00:39:22Yeah.
00:39:24I couldn't sleep last night.
00:39:33You told me you were staying near the port, so I got the first ferry this morning.
00:39:41I came looking for you.
00:39:42And I can't believe I found you.
00:39:54I was going to get this way.
00:39:55I found you, I have a seat.
00:39:57I found you.
00:39:59That's right.
00:39:59That was a good ride.
00:40:00I saw you, I got a seat.
00:40:01I saw you.
00:40:02That's what you're responding to me.
00:40:03I saw you, I was so excited.
00:40:04Let's see the other people.
00:40:05How are you looking for you?
00:40:06My family.
00:40:07I saw you and I saw you.
00:40:08It took me, I saw you.
00:40:09But I saw you again and said,
00:40:10You're looking for me, you're looking for me.
00:40:11I saw you.
00:40:12That's right.
00:40:13I saw you.
00:40:14I saw you.
00:40:14I saw you.
00:40:15I saw you.
00:40:15What are we doing?
00:40:29I think we'll make it out.
00:40:33So sexy and beautiful.
00:40:45I can't do this.
00:41:08What?
00:41:09I can't do this.
00:41:10Why?
00:41:15Do you do this a lot?
00:41:23What?
00:41:24Do 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.
00:41:38Don't follow me.
00:41:45Don't follow me.
00:42:32There was one boy from Belgium. He was lovely. He had a mustache. My mother hated mustaches. But he was shipped off. I never saw him again.
00:43:02Anyways, 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.
00:43:22I do deserve that.
00:43:28And I just left my husband.
00:43:31Jane, I'm sorry. Just give me a minute. I have a hell of a rest of my day. I've got so much stuff to do.
00:43:41Sorry, darling.
00:43:45Hey, do you still want to do something fun tonight?
00:43:48Yeah, absolutely. I've got some dinner. I thought we'd just stay in here. The two of us. I've just got to work this thing out for tomorrow.
00:43:56Okay.
00:43:58Bye-bye. You're sorry.
00:44:00Okay.
00:44:31Leonard, can we talk?
00:45:01Say cheese.
00:45:29No, 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.
00:46:14What did you do?
00:46:30I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:46:45I will go.
00:46:48I will go.
00:46:50I will go!
00:46:52I will go!
00:46:54I will go!

01:03:35Hi.
01:04:05How are you?
01:04:09Long day.
01:04:13God, when are they not?
01:04:17I don't think I'd jump to doing another stint like this.
01:04:21How's the writing going?
01:04:25I'm feeling inspired.
01:04:29It's fantastic.
01:04:33I think I've figured out the key to finishing the project.
01:04:37Are you listening?
01:04:43You found the key to finishing this project?
01:04:47Well, the water here tastes so funny.
01:04:59Have you ever cheated on me?
01:05:03Oh, Jane.
01:05:05Have you?
01:05:07Can we not?
01:05:09Have you?
01:05:15Absolutely not.
01:05:17Why did you take such a long time to answer that?
01:05:19Because I'm sick.
01:05:21Of what, Leonard?
01:05:23Of it being so hard?
01:05:25Yes.
01:05:26Tedious?
01:05:33I hate talking about sex with you.
01:05:35Is that what we're talking about?
01:05:37Normal people talk about sex, Leonard.
01:05:39And we don't?
01:05:41There's just huge vacant lots that we don't discuss.
01:05:47Like what?
01:05:49Is there anything you want to ask me?
01:05:51Why, is there anything you want to tell me?
01:05:53I just want to connect.
01:05:55So you don't feel that we're connected?
01:05:59Do you?
01:06:00I love you.
01:06:13I get it, Leonard.
01:06:14I get it.
01:06:15It's always been this big, serious, grave thing for us.
01:06:19Sex has consequences.
01:06:20Life and death.
01:06:21Mostly death.
01:06:22Jane, please.
01:06:23Let me guess.
01:06:24You don't want to talk about it?
01:06:25No, that's not what I'm saying.
01:06:27You're just...
01:06:28Did you want to have children, Leonard?
01:06:29Of course I did.
01:06:30Not did.
01:06:31Do you want to have children?
01:06:34So did you.
01:06:36But...
01:06:39Say it.
01:06:40Jane.
01:06:41Say it.
01:06:42I can't have children, Leonard.
01:06:48I never will.
01:06:49And if we keep trying, they keep dying.
01:06:52Please, Jane.
01:06:53Again and again.
01:06:54And again.
01:06:55Please.
01:06:58How 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?
01:07:09You will never be a father.
01:07:13We can adopt.
01:07:14That's not what you want.
01:07:15Is it?
01:07:18Is that what you want?
01:07:19Hmm?
01:07:20Because I think about it all the time.
01:07:26That the one thing you always wanted, I will never be able to give you.
01:07:30What are you trying to do, Jane?
01:07:31I just want to know that there's a reason for it all.
01:07:45You're not curious about me, Leonard.
01:07:58Not really.
01:08:00What do you want me to know?
01:08:01You shouldn't have to ask.
01:08:02I feel as if you want me to be someone I'm not.
01:08:08Someone that I've never been.
01:08:13I'm leaving you.
01:08:16I've been seeing someone else.
01:08:18See you.
01:08:26Caleb.
01:08:28That kid.
01:08:29Yes.
01:08:31That kid?
01:08:32That child?
01:08:33That kid you've known for two days?
01:08:34It's been longer than that.
01:08:35Please tell me you're joking.
01:08:37Time is shiftable.
01:08:38I don't get it.
01:08:39Leonard.
01:08:41I don't get it.
01:08:42He asked me to travel with him.
01:08:44Are you sleeping with him?
01:08:47What 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?
01:09:01You don't see me!
01:09:12I'm sorry.
01:09:23For what?
01:09:26I'm sorry.
01:09:27For what?
01:09:28I shouldn't have done that.
01:09:29No.
01:09:30Losing my temper.
01:09:31I shouldn't have done that.
01:09:32You had every right to lose your temper!
01:09:33No, 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.
01:09:43No.
01:09:44That is not what this is about.
01:09:45Of course it is.
01:09:46You don't love me anymore, Leonard!
01:09:48You don't love me!
01:09:49That's rubbish.
01:09:52This is your ticket.
01:09:54The day after my performance,
01:09:56meet me at the train station.
01:10:00Our train is at 4.30.
01:10:03We'll go home together.
01:10:04I want you to do what you need to do.
01:10:13And then come back to me.
01:10:16No questions asked.
01:10:18No guilt.
01:10:22This is good.
01:10:34No guilt.
01:10:50No guilt.
01:10:54No guilt.
01:11:27Hi.
01:11:48Hi.
01:11:57You want some?
01:12:02Oh, thanks.
01:12:27Frank, you know, it's 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.
01:12:55I'm thinking of driving through Romania and then Ukraine and down through Russia and through
01:13:10Kazakhstan and then straight to Tibet.
01:14:20To be continued...
01:14:50Jay, you've got to come over to this side, the train's going to be here in a minute.
01:15:20It's four in the morning, the end of December. I'm riding you now just to see if you're there.
01:15:37New York is cold, but I like where I'm living. There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
01:15:50I hear that you're building your house deep in the desert. Are you living for nothing now?
01:16:06Hope you're keeping some kind of record. Yes.
01:16:13And Jane came by with a lock of your hair. She 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. Why not? I'm not telling you why not.
01:16:39Did you ever go clear?
01:16:42Now shut that thing off.
