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 of Napoli...
00:01:32... directions of the people.
00:01:34This is called the first place.
00:01:43Shit.
00:01:45Whoa.
00:01:46I can't put my wallet.
00:01:51The PC place?
00:01:52No...
00:01:53No...
00:01:54... there's a PC place.
00:01:55Somewhere.
00:01:56Maybe it's in my car.
00:02:00What are you looking for?
00:02:07What do you think?
00:02:08She's lost for purse, for purse.
00:02:10No, there's nothing.
00:02:11I killed that in my bathroom.
00:02:12There's nothing.
00:02:13I know he was here standing.
00:02:14One moment, one moment.
00:02:15There's nothing, he can't help me.
00:02:16I'm not, I'm not.
00:02:17There's nothing.
00:02:18There's nothing.
00:02:19There's nothing.
00:02:20There's nothing.
00:02:21There's nothing here.
00:02:22I won't be feeling.
00:02:23There's nothing.
00:02:24There's nothing.
00:02:25I'll go.
00:02:26There's nothing.
00:02:27Come on, Manny.
00:02:28Come on, Manny.
00:02:33Where did you have it last?
00:02:35Oh, no.
00:02:37The train station, I think.
00:02:38The exchange booth.
00:02:43Oh, Jamie.
00:02:44I'm sorry.
00:02:47That bastard at the train station started when you dropped all your stuff.
00:02:54This is 170, not 70.
00:02:57Where do we need to go?
00:02:58We need sevens.
00:03:10Here we go.
00:03:20Is this it?
00:03:22I think so.
00:03:27It's nice.
00:03:28Yes, I have a credit card.
00:03:29The number's on file on my computer.
00:03:30Yes, I have them here.
00:03:32Okay.
00:03:33Five, five, three, three.
00:03:35Seven, six, four, five.
00:03:36Eight-seven.
00:03:37Eight-seven.
00:03:38Nine-seven.
00:03:39Nine-seven.
00:03:40Nine-seven.
00:03:41Nine-seven.
00:03:42Yeah.
00:03:43Yeah.
00:03:44Yes, I have her credit card numbers on file on my computer.
00:03:49Yes, I have them here.
00:03:52Okay.
00:03:52Okay.
00:03:535533 7645 8787 9157.
00:04:045-7.
00:04:06Yeah.
00:04:08Expires 12.15.
00:04:11No, she'll definitely need another card sent out immediately.
00:04:14We're here for two weeks.
00:04:17No, I'm working here.
00:04:21Yes, I'll hold.
00:04:23You love how they ask, as if I have a choice.
00:04:27Do you know what I'm going to try to do while I'm here?
00:04:30Besides knowing Italian.
00:04:32I don't know why you think that's so ridiculous.
00:04:34I don't at all.
00:04:36I admire you.
00:04:37I just think it's too late for me.
00:04:40That's not true.
00:04:41You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
00:04:43Besides, what's the point?
00:04:47The whole bloody world speaks English.
00:04:49Well, I...
00:04:50I'm going to finally transcribe the tapes.
00:04:55Yes.
00:04:57All right.
00:04:59Okay.
00:05:00Well, if you can see it through to the end.
00:05:05I think that's wonderful.
00:05:07What does that mean?
00:05:09Nothing.
00:05:11Nothing?
00:05:13I think it's a fantastic idea, Jen.
00:05:15I always have.
00:05:16You know that?
00:05:16You don'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.
00:05:39Why do you think he killed himself?
00:06:04I don't know.
00:06:08Who?
00:06:10David 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?
00:06:21Do 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.
00:06:39I really don't know, John.
00:06:40Just so tedious.
00:06:44And 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, and it wasn't enough.
00:06:50Can I, can we not talk about this?
00:06:54Just, just, just a bit more, then.
00:07:12Love you.
00:07:15Love you, too.
00:07:20Do you feel all right?
00:07:37Do you feel okay?
00:07:38Yeah.
00:07:40Are you sure?
00:07:46Mm-hmm.
00:07:50Do you feel okay?
00:08:20What the hell?
00:08:29What?
00:08:30Do you feel okay?
00:08:31It might be...
00:08:35Oh?
00:08:36What's going on?
00:09:06Are 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.
00:09:28True.
00:09:33Then I think I might go out, see what the world has to offer.
00:09:36If 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.

00:11:46We 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.
00:12:16Oh, 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.
00:12:42Sometimes I think I should have had more children, not just your father.
00:12:50You're all alone now that your parents are gone.
00:12:54No brothers, no sisters.
00:12:55I'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.
00:13:08Uh, 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 oreganese?
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 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? Why, do you think I was Italian?
00:13:56Yeah.
00:13:57Yes! That's great, that's cool.
00:13:59Hey, hey, hey.
00:14:01Where are you from?
00:14:03London.
00:14:04No, in America. Come on.
00:14:05Maine.
00:14:06No, shit, I'm from Massachusetts.
00:14:08That's crazy, that's weird, right?
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, I thought you were saying you were on vacation.
00:14:22Me? No.
00:14:24So, come on.
00:14:28My 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, very.
00:14:45How 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?
00:15:01A 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, 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.
00:15:33You newlywed?
00:15:33No.
00:15:34No.
00:15:34No.
00:15:35No.
00:15:36No.
00:15:46That's it.
00:15:46That's it.
00:15:47Stop making me feel like a stalker.
00:15:48Fuck.
00:15:49Can I take a hand, please?
00:15:50Yes.
00:15:5110 dollars.
00:15:58One?
00:15:5810.
00:15:59All right.
00:16:00Oh, hey, have you got 50 cents?
00:16:05If you can catch it.
00:16:09Grazie.
00:16:10Grazie.
00:16:10Grazie.
00:16:30What 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 up 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.
00:17:19You'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 in the Gulf of Naples.
00:17:33I can't tell if you're joking.
00:17:35I'm dead fucking serious.
00:17:39You know, I just didn't want to go to college and they paid for me to come over.
00:17:42Before connecting flights, 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.
00:17:51Is it really?
00:17:52Uh-huh.
00:17:53Happy birthday.
00:17:54Thank you very much.
00:17:55Yeah, so I left the program after like a month.
00:17:58Fuck the relic dolphins!
00:18:00The second cousin is to stay 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.
00:18:08So when I come over, I Facebook this second cousin twice removed.
00:18:11The second cousin twice removed, in case you didn't know,
00:18:13is when one person's great-grandparent is another person's great-great-great-grandparent.
00:18:17I'd love to hear the long version.
00:18:19Sorry.
00:18:20Anyway, so this relative gave me the name of this great uncle who lives on the island.
00:18:24So I show up, he answers the door and he's like the oldest fucker I've ever seen easily.
00:18:29Pushing a hundred.
00:18:31A hundred?
00:18:32Yeah, if not older.
00:18:33He's like deaf and blind and about four feet tall.
00:18:36He mumbles a couple of things to me in some crazy dialect,
00:18:39ushers me inside, pours me a glass of wine and leads me to this basement apartment.
00:18:43And, uh, yeah, I never left.
00:18:59There's a book called Pourfix.
00:19:00With the end of the castle that resorts the nac arebe Chr thunderous bottle,
00:19:02I said channel deux to me a few moments beneath them into the altar.
00:19:04That was so cool.
00:19:06It's beautiful.
00:19:07So I think I can feel like I would take them away.
00:19:08I know a Christmas right composer's consumerely halfters erely but happy into that.
00:19:09I'm happy to quite some 40 hour hour later.
00:19:10I think so that my addition then Gaza came up first.
00:19:11I think that I really want to do it soon as the example.

00:19:22The family birds often has not completely gone.
00:19:29Love teaches me to feed on flames and tears, to turn withered hope green through desire,
00:19:48to re-enslave my heart each time love frees his noble face from that heavy disdain.
00:19:56Who is that?
00:19:58Vittoria Colonna.
00:20:01Ah, the woman who lived here.
00:20:04You read that in your guy book this morning, didn't you, Jane?
00:20:08Sneaky.
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, but that didn't stop her from loving him.
00:20:27Let's hear it then, in Italian. Let's hear the poem.
00:20:33Come on.
00:20:34Okay.

00:21:18You know, I don't want to tell me what you have to do.
00:21:19I write freelance articles about parties and fashion trends in town and country U.K.
00:21:20There's something else.
00:21:21I don't want to tell you.
00:21:22I don't think I have to say that.
00:21:23No, I don't want to tell you.
00:21:24No, I don't want to tell you.
00:21:25You don't want to tell us a little bit.
00:21:26You don't want to tell me what you do.
00:21:27I don't want to tell you what you do.
00:21:28Red.
00:21:29Red.

00:21:32Grazie.
00:21:33So you're really not going to tell me what you do?
00:21:40I write freelance articles about parties and fashion trends in town and country UK.
00:21:45There'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.
00:22:00I recorded her for hours and hours.
00:22:03But now, I don't know.
00:22:07What don't you know?
00:22:10You want to listen?
00:22:13A little?
00:22:14Yeah.
00:22:15Yeah?
00:22:16Yeah.
00:22:17No, I love to listen.
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:22It's hanged up.
00:22:35I won't lang.
00:22:36Okay.
00:22:42Awful as it was, it made you stronger.
00:22:45These days people whine about all sorts of things and...
00:22:48I'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...
00:23:00It really brought people together, the war. We 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.
00:23:11I'll 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 gonna 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?
00:23:37Make it sound perverse.
00:23:40That's what it was, right?
00:23:42Buongiorno. Buongiorno.
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.
00:24:29I 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, 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.
00:25:50That's the whole point, isn't it?
00:25:53Keeping it interesting for yourself.
00:25:57Maybe.
00:26:00Maybe I just wanna write about nothing.
00:26:01Nothing.
00:26:03Everything is nothing.
00:26:06All the best.
00:26:08Grazie.
00:26:09Grazie.
00:26:13Make a wish, huh?
00:26:16Make it great.
00:26:21Okay.
00:26:25Bravo.
00:26:26Bravo.
00:26:27Hey.
00:26:28Hey!
00:26:36Ready?
00:26:37Ready?
00:26:38Ready?
00:26:39What?
00:26:39Grab my hand.
00:26:40Oh my God.
00:26:40Go, go, go, go.
00:26:41Oh my God!
00:26:42Oh my God!
00:26:43Oh my gosh!
00:26:44Oh no!
00:26:45What?
00:26:46What do you mean?
00:26:46Stronto!
00:26:53Hey! Hey!
00:26:54It's the carabineri!
00:26:56The police!
00:26:57No!
00:27:04We can't go back!
00:27:06We can't go back!
00:27:08We can't pay!
00:27:10I'm gonna get it!
00:27:16Oh, my God.
00:27:23There you go.
00:27:24Here you go.
00:27:25Here you go.
00:27:26Did it make you feel better if I said I said no one day out?
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.
00:27:46Let's go.
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.
00:28:06Oh, my God.
00:28:08What?
00:28:09I love my nose.
00:28:12We come back?
00:28:13Maybe.
00:28:14Maybe it's not a no.
00:28:18And since I don't have a phone, you're going to have to give me your number for cheap thrills and future crimes committed.
00:28:21maybe maybe is not a no and since I don't have a phone you're gonna have to
00:28:32give me your number for cheap thrills and future crimes committed. No.
00:28:39Fair enough. I've got to go catch a fairy. Hey. Why do violists keep their viola cases on
00:29:08their dashboards? Why? So they can park in handicapped spots.
00:29:32Happy birthday. Thank you.
00:29:38Happy birthday.
00:29:46God bless you.
00:30:16God bless you.
00:30:46God bless you.
00:31:16God bless you.
00:31:18God bless you.
00:31:20God bless you.
00:31:22God bless you.
00:31:24God bless you.
00:31:26God bless you.
00:31:28God bless you.
00:31:30God bless you.
00:31:32God bless you.
00:31:40Jane.
00:31:42Tony.
00:31:44Got some pastries.
00:31:48He's still asleep.
00:31:52Jane.
00:31:54Jane.
00:31:56God bless you.
00:31:58God bless you.
00:32:02God bless you.
00:32:04God bless you.
00:32:06God bless you.
00:32:08God bless you.
00:32:18God bless you.
00:32:20My 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.
00:32:36They were wonderful times.
00:32:39I never had an American boyfriend.
00:32:42I liked some of them.
00:32:44They were nice boys, but I didn't want to leave my mum and dad.
00:32:52I wish I had sometimes.
00:32:54You 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.
00:33:04At that time.
00:33:06You were 19 when we met?
00:33:07Yeah.
00:33:08I wouldn't have described you as carefree back then. Not at all.
00:33:12Well, I felt nostalgia.
00:33:14Or something. For youth.
00:33:16You're not old, Jane.
00:33:18We ran out on the bill.
00:33:20You just ran out? What do you mean you ran out on the bill?
00:33:24Perhaps I'm not explaining it well. It was...
00:33:27It was fun.
00:33:29It was just fun.
00:33:31How was work?
00:33:37The conductor is actually a descendant of Walter Legg, which is fascinating.
00:33:46The three of us should plan a dinner before we leave.
00:33:48I'd like that.
00:33:51Jane?
00:33:52Oh my God, this is Caleb.
00:34:02Hi.
00:34:03No, no, we were just talking about you.
00:34:05We were?
00:34:06That's so weird.
00:34:07That's it, please.
00:34:08Sit down.
00:34:09Join us.
00:34:10What?
00:34:11Oh.
00:34:12You had the chances of that.
00:34:14I know, right?
00:34:15I'm obviously going to get back pretty soon.
00:34:21That's okay.
00:34:22I already ate, so I'll just grab a coffee or something.
00:34:34Grab the check, please.
00:34:37In a cafe, play, play?
00:34:43Oh, no, thank you.
00:34:48Jane, you don't smoke.
00:34:51Yes, I do.
00:34:53Sometimes, at parties.
00:34:56You know that.
00:34:58Well, I don't do it a lot.
00:35:02Grazie.
00:35:04Grazie.
00:35:09Italian food's so overrated.
00:35:11I love it.
00:35:13There's no variety.
00:35:14English food, on the other hand...
00:35:16Say what you like about it.
00:35:17There'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.
00:35:29And, 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.
00:36:02Come on.
00:36:03Let's hear one.
00:36:07Um...
00:36:09I have one.
00:36:12What is the definition of perfect pitch?
00:36:17What?
00:36:21When you throw a viola into the dumpster without hitting the rim.
00:36:26You didn't just make that up.
00:36:27I did.
00:36:28It's too good.
00:36:29I did.
00:36:30Well, I'm impressed and I'm stealing it.
00:36:33You can pretty much make that joke about any instrument.
00:36:39Did you play anything, Caleb?
00:36:40This and that, you know.
00:36:44Shall we?
00:36:46What time to go?
00:36:47Already?
00:36:49Yeah, I've got to get back to work.
00:37:00So what's next on your agenda, Caleb?
00:37:03Um, I'm thinking Tibet.
00:37:06Oh, Tibet, really?
00:37:07Yeah, there's this thing called the shopping 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?
00:37:22You know, a bit of this, a bit of that.
00:37:29All right, 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.
00:37:37I have a piece of paper.
00:37:38You guys should definitely come over to the island.
00:37:39I'll take you somewhere fun, you know.
00:37:40Don't knock on the front door.
00:37:41Come around the side.
00:37:42I need Regina.
00:37:43This, yeah.
00:37:44There you go.
00:37:46And thanks again for yesterday.
00:37:47No problem.
00:37:49Hey.
00:37:50Ciao.
00:37:51Ciao.
00:38:22How are you?
00:38:23Come on, man.
00:38:24We should tell him a pop.
00:38:25It'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.
00:38:41Okay.
00:38:42I'm fine.
00:38:43I'll be waiting.
00:38:45I'll be waiting.
00:38:50I'll be waiting.
00:38:51I'll be waiting.
00:38:53Hey, my God, you scared me.
00:39:16Are you following me?
00:39:18Maybe?
00:39:19Is that weird?
00:39:21Yeah.
00:39:22I 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, and I can't believe I found you.
00:39:49I really do.
00:39:50I just didn't know what you were doing, and I was so sorry.
00:39:55I got the first ferry to the ferry.
00:39:59I got the ferry to the ferry.
00:40:01I got the ferry to the ferry to the ferry.
00:40:04I was going to get the ferry to the ferry and to the ferry.
00:40:09What are we doing?
00:40:30I think we'll make it out.
00:40:33So sexy.
00:40:36And beautiful.
00:40:39I can't do this.
00:41:09What? What?
00:41:09I can't do this.
00:41:11Why?
00:41:22Do you do this a lot?
00:41:24What?
00:41:24Do you do this a lot?
00:41:26What?
00:41:27Do you seduce women?
00:41:28Is this what you do?
00:41:29Look, you need to be less serious.
00:41:39Don't follow me.
00:41:59I can't do this a lot.
00:42:00I can't do this a lot.
00:42:01I can't do this a lot.
00:42:02I can't do this a lot.
00:42:03I can't do this a lot.
00:42:04I can't do this a lot.
00:42:05I can't do this a lot.
00:42:06I can't do this a lot.
00:42:06I can't do this a lot.
00:42:07I can't do this a lot.
00:42:08I can't do this a lot.
00:42:09I can't do this a lot.
00:42:10I can't do this a lot.
00:42:11I can't do this a lot.
00:42:12I can't do this a lot.
00:42:43There was one boy from Belgium. He was lovely. He had a moustache. My mother hated moustaches. But he was shipped off. I never saw him again. Anyways, I met your grandfather not long after, and we got married.
00:43:08Was it love at first sight with Grandpa? Love at first sight? Stop that thing.
00:43:16I know. You're home early.
00:43:19I do deserve that.
00:43:28You know, it doesn't work for your husband.
00:43:31Jane, I'm sorry. Just give me a minute. I have a hell of a mess in my day. I've got so much stuff to do.
00:43:41Sorry, darling. Hey, 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. Okay. I'm sorry.
00:43:58Okay. I'm sorry.
00:43:59Okay.
00:44:00Okay.
00:44:01Bye.
00:44:02Bye.
00:44:14Bye.
00:44:22I don't know.
00:44:52Leonard, can we talk?
00:45:22Say cheese.
00:45:29You should kind of be in the middle.
00:45:34Hold on a second.
00:45:39That's what our living room is missing.
00:45:51What did you do?
00:46:09Put my hand over my mouth.
00:46:10You did?
00:46:11What did you do?
00:46:13Just wave.
00:46:15What did you do?
00:46:20What did you do?
00:46:25CHOIR SINGS
00:46:55Oh, my God.
00:47:25Oh, my God.
00:47:55Oh, my God.
00:48:25Oh, my God.
00:48:55Oh, my God.
00:48:57Oh, my God.
00:48:59Oh, my God.
00:49:01Did I wake you?
00:49:03No.
00:49:05I think I need to be less serious.
00:49:11Yeah.
00:49:12Will you put my pants on?
00:49:15Okay.
00:49:17Oh, my God.
00:49:23Oh, my God.
00:49:25Oh, my God.
00:49:27Oh, my God.
00:49:29Oh, my God.
00:49:39Oh, my God.
00:49:41Oh, my God.
00:49:43Oh, my God.
00:49:45Oh, my God.
00:49:47Oh, my God.
00:49:49Oh, my God.
00:49:51Oh, my God.
00:49:53Oh, my God.
00:49:55Oh, my God.
00:49:57Oh, my God.
00:49:59Oh, my God.
00:52:31Leonard thought you were lying about those cats.
00:52:51You said that?
00:52:56Were you?
00:52:58They were delicious.
00:52:59You made me feel nervous.
00:53:19You make me feel calm.
00:53:24You want a drink?
00:53:49You made me feel calm.
00:53:50You made me feel calm.
00:53:55You made me feel calm.
00:53:56You made me feel calm.
00:53:57You made me feel calm.
00:54:01You made me feel calm.
00:54:02You made me feel calm.
00:54:07You made me feel calm.
00:54:08You made me feel calm.
00:54:13I've been around all night.
00:54:17Must be lonely.
00:54:43I've been around all night.
00:55:13I've been around all night.
00:55:43I've been around all night.
00:56:13I didn't sleep at all last night.
00:56:14Where have you been?
00:56:17Just walking.
00:56:19All night.
00:56:21I've been thinking.
00:56:23You left your phone here.
00:56:24I 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.
00:56:35I can't be late.
00:56:39Leonard.
00:56:40Jay, whatever you have to say to me, I want to hear it.
00:56:44I've committed myself.
00:56:46People are depending on me.
00:56:48I have to go to work.
00:56:49I'll call you back.
00:56:52Okay.
00:56:56Okay.
00:57:26If it wasn't the war, it would have been something else.
00:57:31There's always something else, isn't there?
00:57:34That's the thing. That's the thing about struggle.
00:57:48I'm going to make some tea. Do you want some?
00:57:52I'm all right.
00:57:56If 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.
00:59:07One little thing had changed in my grandmother's life, I might not be here.
00:59:32Sometimes I worry I'm not honoring her.
00:59:44With 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?
01:00:45There 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.
01:02:06What is it?
01:02:14Oh!
01:02:18You...
01:02:18Are you alright?
01:02:22You okay?
01:02:23Yeah, I stung my toe.
01:02:26It's bleeding.
01:02:27Oh, it's fine.
01:02:30It's fine.
01:02:31It's fine.
01:02:31It's fine.
01:02:33You finishing that?
01:02:35Yes.
01:02:36Oh!
01:02:37Fuck.
01:02:37Fuck.
01:02:38Oh!
01:02:39I 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.
01:03:00I want you to come with me.
01:03:30I want you to come with me.
01:04:00I want you to come with me.
01:04:01I want you to come with me.
01:04:02I want you to come with me.
01:04:03I want you to come with me.
01:04:04I want you to come with me.
01:04:05Hi.
01:04:06Hi.
01:04:07How are you?
01:04:08I'm not good.
01:04:09Long day.
01:04:10God, why did I not?
01:04:11I don't think I'd jump to doing another stint like this.
01:04:13How's the writing going?
01:04:14I'm feeling inspired.
01:04:15It's fantastic.
01:04:16I think I've figured out the key to finishing the project.
01:04:17Are you listening?
01:04:48Well, the water here tastes so funny.
01:04:49Have you ever cheated on me?
01:04:50Oh, Jane.
01:04:51Have you?
01:04:52Can we not?
01:04:53Have you?
01:04:54Have you?
01:04:55Have you?
01:04:56Absolutely not.
01:04:57Why did you take such a long time to answer that?
01:04:58Because I'm sick.
01:04:59Of what, Leonard?
01:05:00Of what, Leonard?
01:05:01Of it being so hard?
01:05:02Yes.
01:05:03Tedious?
01:05:04Oh, Jane.
01:05:05Have you?
01:05:06Can we not?
01:05:08Have you?
01:05:15Absolutely not.
01:05:16Why did you take such a long time to answer that?
01:05:19Because I'm sick.
01:05:22Of what, Leonard? Of it being so hard?
01:05:26Yes.
01:05:27Tedious?
01:05:28I hate talking about sex with you.
01:05:36Is that what we're talking about?
01:05:38Normal people talk about sex, Leonard.
01:05:41And we don't?
01:05:43There's just huge vacant lots that we don't discuss.
01:05:48Like what?
01:05:50Is there anything you want to ask me?
01:05:52Why? Is there anything you want to tell me?
01:05:54I just want to connect.
01:05:58So you don't feel that we're connected?
01:06:00Do you?
01:06:04I love you.
01:06:13I get it, Leonard.
01:06:14I get it.
01:06:16It'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...
01:06:28Do 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.
01:06:53And again.
01:06:54And again.
01:06:55Please.
01:06:58How does that make you feel?
01:07:04It's not your fault.
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.
01:07:11We can adopt.
01:07:12That's not what you want.
01:07:13Is it?
01:07:14Is that what you want?
01:07:15Hmm?
01:07:16Because I think about it all the time.
01:07:18That the one thing you always wanted, I will never be able to give you.
01:07:32What are you trying to do, Jane?
01:07:42I just want to know that there's a reason for it all.
01:07:45You're not curious about me, Leonard.
01:07:59Not really.
01:08:00What do you want me to know?
01:08:01You shouldn't have to ask.
01:08:03I feel as if you want me to be someone I'm not.
01:08:08Someone that I've never been.
01:08:10I'm leaving you.
01:08:15I've been seeing someone else.
01:08:23See him.
01:08:25Caleb.
01:08:26That kid?
01:08:27Yes.
01:08:28That kid?
01:08:29That child?
01:08:30That kid you've known for two days?
01:08:32It's been longer than that.
01:08:33Please tell me you're joking.
01:08:35Time is shiftable.
01:08:37I don't get it.
01:08:38Leonard.
01:08:39I don't get it.
01:08:40I don't get it.
01:08:41He's asked me to travel with him.
01:08:43Are you sleeping with him?
01:08:47What do you think?
01:08:55I kept waiting for you to see it, to smell it, to sense it!
01:08:59So what?
01:09:00I failed your test?
01:09:01You don't see me!
01:09:09I'm sorry.
01:09:10For what?
01:09:11I'm sorry.
01:09:12For what?
01:09:13I shouldn't have done that.
01:09:14No.
01:09:15For losing my temper.
01:09:16I shouldn't have done that.
01:09:17You had every right to lose your temper!
01:09:18No, no, no, no, no.
01:09:19If you think that this is what's going to make you feel better, then you should go.
01:09:25You should go with him.
01:09:26You should go with him.
01:09:27You've been through a terrible, terrible thing, Jane.
01:09:28No.
01:09:29That is not what this is about.
01:09:30Of course it is.
01:09:31Of course it is.

01:12:02Oh, thanks.
01:12:29Frank and Elsa 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.
01:14:38Jay, you've got to come over to this side, the train's going to be here in a minute.
01:15:04It's four in the morning, the end of December.
01:15:30I'm riding you now just to see if you're there.
01:15:36New York is cold, but I like where I'm living.
01:15:42There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
01:15:50I hear that you're building your house deep in the desert.
01:16:02Are you living for nothing now?
01:16:07Hope you're keeping some kind of record.
01:16:12Yes.
01:16:13And 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.
01:16:32I wouldn't want to live to be 100.
01:16:35Why not?
01:16:36I'm not telling you why not.
01:16:38Did you ever go clear?
01:16:42Now shut that thing off.
01:16:44Oh, my God.
01:16:45All the lessons.
