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.
00:01:30Are you living in Napoli?
00:01:32Are you living in New Yorkers?
00:01:34Are you living in New Yorkers?
00:01:36This place is called the First Place.
00:01:48Shit.
00:01:50Whoa.
00:01:51Can't put my wallet.
00:01:53Can you see your place?
00:01:54No.
00:01:55No, no we have something but somewhere.
00:01:57Maybe it's in my club.
00:01:59She's lost her purse.
00:02:15She didn't kill anything when the travellers went,
00:02:18just give her a minute.
00:02:20Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:02:25Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:02:32Where did you have it last?
00:02:34No, no.
00:02:36The train station, I think? The exchange group?
00:02:41Oh, Dana, I'm sorry.
00:02:44That bastard at the train station started when you dropped all this stuff.
00:02:53This is 170, not 70.
00:02:55Where do we need to go?
00:02:57We need 70.
00:03:09Here we go.
00:03:14Is this it?
00:03:16Thanks, lad.
00:03:20Is this it?
00:03:21Thanks, lad.
00:03:41It's nice.
00:03:43Yes, I have a credit card.
00:03:44The number is on file on my computer.
00:03:48Yes, I have them here.
00:03:51Okay.
00:03:525533
00:03:557645
00:03:588787
00:04:019157
00:04:0357
00:04:04Yeah.
00:04:07Expires 1215.
00:04:08No, she'll definitely need another card sent out immediately. We're here for two weeks.
00:04:14No, I'm working here.
00:04:20Yes, I'll hold.
00:04:23You love how they ask. As if I have a choice.
00:04:26Do you know what I'm going to try to do while I'm here?
00:04:29Besides, learn Italian.
00:04:31I don't know why you think that's so ridiculous.
00:04:34I don't at all.
00:04:36I admire you. I 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? The whole bloody world speaks English.
00:04:49Well, I...
00:04:51I'm going to finally transcribe the tapes.
00:04:54Yes.
00:04:56All right.
00:04:58Okay.
00:05:01Well, 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?
00:05:12I think it's a fantastic idea, Jen. I always have. You know that?
00:05:20You shouldn't sound very supportive.
00:05:25You have my support. I'm sorry if that came out wrong.
00:05:31I just know how emotional listening to them can be. Has been for you.
00:05:35I think enough time has passed.
00:05:37Well, that's great.
00:05:41I don't know.
00:06:03Why do you think he killed himself?
00:06:07Who?
00:06:09David Foster Wallace.
00:06:12I don't know.
00:06:16You can't get a sense by his writing?
00:06:19You have to read it when I'm done, though, right?
00:06:27Do you think he recognized a blank infinity just stretching out?
00:06:32I don't know.
00:06:34He got to this point, maybe, where it was just day after day after day.
00:06:38I really don't know. Do you know?
00:06:40Just so tedious.
00:06:43And, of course, he felt guilty.
00:06:45Most people think life is too short, and there he was, all the talent in the world, and it wasn't enough.
00:06:50Jane, can I... Can we not talk about this?
00:06:51Just... Just... Just a bit more, a bit.
00:07:12Love you.
00:07:13Love you, too.
00:07:14Love you, too.
00:07:15Love you, too.
00:07:35Do you feel alright?
00:07:37Do you feel okay?
00:07:38Yeah.
00:07:39You feel...
00:08:10Keep putting hands up.
00:08:15There are questions.
00:08:16I'm going to ask your friends how she is.
00:08:32Oh, my God.
00:09:02Are you sure you won't come with?
00:09:18You'll be so busy.
00:09:21I get boring all alone.
00:09:24I think someone should be here in case the card is delivered.
00:09:27True.
00:09:32Then 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.
00:09:49I've left you some money here.
00:09:54I'll see you later.
00:09:55Have a good day.
00:09:56I'll see you later.

00:10:40we went into an air raid shelter my mother your great-grandmother she was shaking sirens wailed
00:10:47and and then there was the sound of a bomb and the man next to us he said i was in a shelter
00:10:54last night with my wife and my little boy and half of it got blown away there was blood in his hair
00:11:02he was all alone that nearly finished my mother you know
00:11:08here we were in this tiny town in england miles from germany from russia from italy from any front lines
00:11:16and this man he had blood in his hair
00:11:25goodnight cappuccino
00:11:45goodnight today
00:11:54We 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. 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.
00:12:51You'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?
00:13:08All right, then.
00:13:08They'd been shot through the neck.
00:13:31The 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.
00:14:00Where 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.
00:14:25My 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.
00:14:40The viola.
00:14:43Any good?
00:14:44Yes.
00:14:45Very.
00:14:49How do you keep your violin from getting stolen?
00:14:51You 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, 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.
00:15:51Yes, you're right.
00:15:52Oh, hey, have you got 50 cents?
00:16:06If you can catch it.
00:16:10Grazie.
00:16:11Grazie.
00:16:22What 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 doesn't smell pretty bad.
00:17:05All those people crammed onto this rock.
00:17:10Wow.
00:17:11I know.
00:17:13I've been coming here every day, and 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.
00:17:24I came out here a few months ago with this volunteer organization dedicated to studying the 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.
00:17:38No, I just didn't want to go to college, and they paid for me to come over.
00:17:43Four connecting flights was 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!
00:18:02I stayed on the island because I have this awesome living situation.
00:18:05I'll tell you the short version.
00:18:06Basically, I used to have ancestors in Ischia, so when I come over, I Facebook this second cousin twice removed.
00:18:12The 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.
00:18:18I'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, so I show up.
00:18:26He answers the door, and he's, like, the oldest fucker I've ever seen, easily pushing a hundred.
00:18:32A hundred?
00:18:33Yeah, if not older.
00:18:34He's, like, deaf and blind and about four feet tall.
00:18:37He 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.
00:18:44And, uh, yeah, I never left.
00:18:46And, uh, yeah, I never left.
00:19:14Love teaches me to feed on flames and tears.
00:19:41To turn withered hope green through desire.
00:19:49To re-enslave my heart each time love frees his noble face from that heavy disdain.
00:19:57Who is that?
00:19:59Victoria Colonna.
00:20:01Ah, the woman who lived here.
00:20:05You read that in your guidebook this morning, didn't you, Jane?
00:20:09Sneaky.
00:20:09Yeah, I've decided to learn Italian by committing to memory all the sonnets she wrote to Michelangelo in English and Italian.
00:20:17Who thought Michelangelo was gay?
00:20:19Ah, according 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.
00:20:36Okay.
00:20:36I'm impressed.
00:21:09You hungry?
00:21:10Why, you gonna take me out?
00:21:13Yeah.
00:21:18All right, then.
00:21:19Okay.
00:21:24Two pastas with the house sauce, please.
00:21:28Red.
00:21:28Red.
00:21:28Red?
00:21:28Red?
00:21:29Red.
00:21:29Red.
00:21:29Red.
00:21:30Uh-huh.
00:21:31Grazia.
00:21:33So you're really not going to tell me what you do?
00:21:35I write freelance articles about parties and fashion trends in town and country UK.
00:21:46There's something else.
00:21:50I'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, but 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, no, I love to listen.
00:22:31Well, it's tangled up.
00:22:32Don't laugh.
00:22:33Okay.
00:22:34Awful as it was, it made you stronger.
00:22:41These days, people whine about all sorts of things.
00:22:44I'm not one of those old people who think my time had the only joy and the only problems.
00:22:49We all have our own private wars every era, but it was nothing like it really brought people
00:22:56together, the war.
00:22:57We helped each other during that time.
00:22:59We had to laugh.
00:23:00We had to smile.
00:23:01Well, if not for ourselves, then for the people we'd lost.
00:23:04I'll shut that thing off.
00:23:05Would you get it out of my face?
00:23:06That is like, it's like a window in time.
00:23:09The sort of thing you wish you always did before someone died, you know?
00:23:11My husband thinks I'm never gonna finish it.
00:23:14I shouldn't care what anyone thinks.
00:23:16We met while I was recording her.
00:23:18Bonding over Granny, huh?
00:23:20I make it sound perverse.
00:23:22That's what it was, right?
00:23:23Oh, thank you.
00:23:24How long have I been here for a long time for my son?
00:23:26I'm not going home.
00:23:27I'm like, ha, ha.
00:23:28You're so beautiful.
00:23:29What was his love?
00:23:30I hope you keep on your own life.
00:23:31I'm so human.
00:23:33I'm so human.
00:23:34You're so human.
00:23:35You're so human.
00:23:36I'm so human.
00:23:37I'm so human.
00:23:38You're so human.
00:23:39Yet I want to live.
00:23:40Why, all right?
00:23:41Buongiorno!
00:23:43Buongiorno!
00:23:53I got pregnant so we got married.
00:24:01I lost the baby.
00:24:05I'm sorry.
00:24:11Excuse me.
00:24:15It was your degree.
00:24:17Yes, thank you.
00:24:19Yes, thank you.
00:24:28I didn't go back after that to the States.
00:24:36Did you ever hear that story about the red string?
00:24:42I think I might have. Tell me.
00:24:49It's like this Asian proverb says that anyone you're destined to meet, like your soulmate or your family or, you know, someone you bump into on the street, we're all connected by this red string.
00:25:04It can be tangled or stretched, but it can never be broken.
00:25:12There's this moment in the tape. I'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 gonna show World War II from a totally different perspective.
00:25:36But...
00:25:46I don't know if it's that interesting.
00:25:48I don't know.
00:25:49I don't know.
00:25:50That's the whole point, isn't it?
00:25:53Keeping it interesting for yourself.
00:25:54Maybe.
00:25:59Maybe I just want to write about nothing.
00:26:01Everything is nothing.
00:26:03Everything is nothing.
00:26:06All the best.
00:26:07Compliano.
00:26:08Grazie.
00:26:09Grazie.
00:26:13Make a wish.
00:26:16Make it great.
00:26:21Okay.
00:26:25Bravo.
00:26:26Bravo.
00:26:27Hey.
00:26:33What do you mean?
00:26:37What?

00:26:39Wait.
00:26:40Go, go, go.
00:26:41Oh my god.
00:26:42Oh my gosh.
00:26:43Oh no.
00:26:44What?
00:26:45What do you mean?
00:26:53Hey, hey, hey.
00:26:54What?
00:26:55It's the carabinerary.
00:26:56It's the police.
00:26:57No.
00:26:58Hey.
00:26:59Yeah.
00:27:00Yeah.
00:27:01We can't go back.
00:27:04We can't go back.
00:27:05We can't go back.
00:27:06We do the best.
00:27:07Look.
00:27:09We can't bear.
00:27:10We have no way.
00:27:11Oh, God.
00:27:12Hey, hey.
00:27:13Hey.
00:27:14Hey.
00:27:15Hey.
00:27:16Hey.

00:27:18Hey.

00:27:35I 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.
00:27:45Come on, let's go.
00:27:46Come on.
00:27:48Quick.
00:27:49Let's go.
00:27:51Why are we still running?
00:27:53I don't know why we're still running.
00:28:00Oh, my gosh.
00:28:14What about my nose?
00:28:20We come back?
00:28:23Maybe.
00:28:26Maybe is not a no.
00:28:28And since I don't have a phone,
00:28:31you're going to have to give me your number
00:28:33for cheap thrills and future crimes committed.
00:28:37No.
00:28:40Fair enough.
00:28:50I've got to go catch a fairy.
00:28:53Hey.
00:28:57Hey.
00:29:02Why do violists
00:29:04keep their viola cases
00:29:08on their dashboards?
00:29:19Why?
00:29:20So they can park
00:29:24in a handicapped spot.

00:39:23Yeah.
00:39:31I couldn't sleep last night.
00:39:35You told me you were staying near the port so I got the first ferry this morning.
00:39:41I came looking for you.
00:39:43And I can't believe I found you.
00:40:11What are we doing?
00:40:13I think we'll make it out.
00:40:17I think we'll make it out.
00:40:19So sexy.
00:40:21And beautiful.
00:40:23So sexy.
00:40:25And beautiful.

00:41:10What?
00:41:11I can't do this.
00:41:12Do you do this a lot?
00:41:24What?
00:41:25Do you do this a lot?
00:41:27What?
00:41:28Do you seduce women?
00:41:29Is this what you do?
00:41:31You need to be less serious.
00:41:37Don't follow me.
00:41:38Don't follow me.
00:41:40Don't follow me.
00:41:41Don't follow me.
00:41:43What?
00:42:53I hated moustaches.
00:42:56And he was shipped off.
00:42:58I 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?
00:43:14Stop that thing.
00:43:15I know.
00:43:19You're home early.
00:43:27I do deserve that.
00:43:29Can I just move for your husband?
00:43:36Jenny, I'm sorry.
00:43:37Just give me a minute.
00:43:38I have a hell of a rest of my day.
00:43:40I've got so much stuff to do.
00:43:44Sorry, darling.
00:43:46Hey, do you still want to do something fun tonight?
00:43:49Yeah, absolutely.
00:43:50I've got some dinner.
00:43:51I thought we'd just stay in here.
00:43:53The two of us.
00:43:53I've just got to work this thing out for tomorrow.
00:43:57Okay.
00:43:57Okay.
00:43:58I'm sorry.
00:43:59Okay.
00:43:59I'm sorry.
00:43:59I'm sorry.
00:44:29I'm sorry.
00:44:51Leonard.
00:44:55Leonard.
00:44:57Can we talk?
00:44:59Say cheese.
00:45:29You should kind of be in the middle of mine.
00:45:37Hold on a second.
00:45:51That's what our living room is missing.
00:45:57What 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.
00:46:15What did you do?
00:46:27What did you do?
00:46:29What did you do?
00:46:45What did you do?
00:46:47What did you do?
00:46:49What did you do?
00:46:51What did you do?
00:46:53What did you do?
00:49:07I need to be less serious.
00:49:11Yeah?
00:49:13Will you put my pants on?
00:49:15Okay.
00:49:17Okay.
00:52:47Leonard thought you were lying about those cats.
00:52:51You said that?
00:52:56Were you?
00:52:57They were delicious.
00:53:17You made me feel nervous.
00:53:21You made me feel calm.
00:53:23You made me feel calm.
00:53:48Want a drink?
00:53:51Don't do that?
00:53:57No.
00:53:58It's cold.
00:53:59And I didn't take a nap at me.
00:54:01You don't use my camera now.
00:54:03I don't know how to say this.
00:54:04You make me feel comfortable.
00:54:05I want to know.
00:54:06You don't want to know.
00:54:07You without a beard, I have a beard.
00:54:09I need you, not a beard.
00:54:10I'm a beard.
00:54:11I don't want to know how to say this,
00:54:12and I'm a beard.
00:54:13It's like that's not what I'm saying.
00:54:14You don't want to know,
00:54:15but it's a beard.
00:54:16And I'm so good.
00:54:17It's a beard.
00:54:18I want to know.
00:56:19All night.
00:56:21I'm 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.
00:56:39I know it.
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.
00:56:49Okay.
00:56:52Okay.
00:57:22If 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?
00:57:50I'm all right.
00:57:59If 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 out 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.
00:59:07If one little thing had changed in my grandmother's life, I might not be here.
00:59:32Sometimes I worry I'm not honoring her.
00:59:44With the book?
00:59:48No, with my life.
00:59:50This is it, you know.
00:59:58It ends with me.
01:00:04In 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.
01:00:21The horses.
01:00:22Yeah.
01:00:28The horses back then, they were kept beautifully.
01:00:30Dad 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?
01:00:46There was one.
01:00:48Duke.
01:00:49He was a Clydesdale I used to ride down to the marshes.
01:00:53Every night when he finished working.
01:00:55They were lovely days, really.
01:01:08They're gone.
01:01:09For me.
01:01:11Jane.
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.
01:01:24But in some ways, it's more disjointed.
01:01:30You've got to make your own life.
01:01:33One that you love, and you can't be afraid of the...
01:01:36of the time.
01:01:40Time is shiftable.
01:01:41There are moments in my life that I would trade 60 years to have back again.
01:01:56That's the truth.
01:01:58You'll know the truth when you find it.
01:02:01It'll come to you like something you've known before,
01:02:03rather than something you're learning for the first time.
01:02:06Oh, sorry.
01:02:12Fuck!
01:02:14What is it?
01:02:14Oh!
01:02:17Oh, you...
01:02:19You all right?
01:02:21Oh.
01:02:22You okay?
01:02:23Yeah, I stung my toe.
01:02:26Oh.
01:02:27It's bleeding.
01:02:28Oh, it's fine.
01:02:30It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
01:02:32It's fine.
01:02:32Are you finishing that?
01:02:34Yes.
01:02:35Fuck.
01:02:46I met these backpackers last night, Frank and Elsa.
01:02:50She's French, he's German.
01:02:52They're going to Tibet.
01:02:54And I'm going with them.
01:02:58I want you to come with me.
01:04:02Hi.
01:04:05Hi.
01:04:07How are you?
01:04:10Long day.
01:04:14I 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.
01:04:28It's fantastic.
01:04:34I think I've figured out the key to finishing the project.
01:04:40Are 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?
01:05:27Yes.
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.
01:10:39I want you to do what you need to do.
01:10:57Bye.
01:10:59Bye.
01:11:00Bye.
01:11:05Bye.
01:11:07Bye.
01:11:07Bye.
01:11:09Bye.
01:11:09Bye.
01:11:39Hi.
01:11:48Hi.
01:11:59You want some?
01:12:02Oh, thanks.
01:12:09Oh, thanks.
01:12:39Frank, 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.
01:12:55I'm thinking of driving through Romania and then Ukraine and down through Russia and through
01:13:10Kazakhstan and then straight to Tibet.
01:14:10Sir.
01:14:40Jase, you've got to come over to this side.
01:15:00The train's going to be here in a minute.
01:15:05It's four in the morning, the end of December.
01:15:31I'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.
01:15:51I hear that you're building your house deep in the desert.
01:16:03Are you living for nothing now?
01:16:07Hope you're keeping some kind of record.
01:16:13Yes.
01:16:14And Jane came by with a lock of your hair.
01:16:23She said that you gave it to her
01:16:29That night when you planned to go clear
01:16:33I wouldn't want to live to be 100.
01:16:36Why not?
01:16:37I'm not telling you why not.
01:16:39Did you ever go clear?
01:16:43Now shut that thing off.
01:16:45It's just for the last time to have a less.
