00:00:00Excuse me, it's okay.
00:00:02It's okay. It's okay, it's okay.
00:00:05It's okay.
00:00:07Let me help her back.
00:00:30It's okay, it's okay.
00:00:33Maruzella, Maruzella.
00:00:42Vedi, questo è Napoli.
00:00:44Napoli è pieno divertimento.
00:00:46Ci sono posti per divertirti e posti che ci sono brutti.
00:01:00Alla prossima.
00:01:06I'm looking for the concert.
00:01:07And then you drive right by it.
00:01:09There it is.
00:01:13Very funny.
00:01:23I think it's gonna be good.
00:01:25Must be.
00:01:30I'm looking for the traffic di Napoli.
00:01:32Trevi, trevi, uomini, beccasso.
00:01:34Questa si si va al primo posto.
00:01:39Ehi.
00:01:43Shire.
00:01:45Whah.
00:01:46Can't put my wallet.
00:01:51Per le C-C as?
00:01:53No.
00:01:54But it's not missing.
00:01:55Is it somewhere?
00:01:56Maybe it's in a car.
00:02:00What are you hoping for?
00:02:13She's lost her purse, her purse.
00:02:14No, he hasn't caught anything from me back.
00:02:19Can you just give her a minute?
00:02:21She's not sitting here.
00:02:22Yes, yes, yes.
00:02:24He's not going to lose you, never lose you.
00:02:26Come on, sonny! Come on, mami!
00:02:33Where did you have it last?
00:02:36The train station, I think. The exchange booth.
00:02:42Oh, Jamie. I'm sorry.
00:02:47That bastard at the train station started when you dropped all your stuff.
00:02:53This is 170, not 70.
00:02:56Where do we need to go?
00:02:57We need... we need... we need 70.
00:03:10Here we go.
00:03:20Is this it?
00:03:21I think it's nice.
00:03:26Yes, I have a credit card. The number's on file on my computer.
00:03:30Yes, I have them here.
00:03:31It's nice.
00:03:32Yes, I have a credit card. The number's on file on my computer.
00:03:33Yes, I have them here.
00:03:34It's nice.
00:03:35It's nice.
00:03:36It's nice.
00:03:37Yes, I have a credit card. The number's on file on my computer.
00:03:41Yes, I have them here.
00:03:42Okay.
00:03:43It's nice.
00:03:44It's nice.
00:03:45It's nice.
00:03:46It's nice.
00:03:47This is nice.
00:03:48Anywhat?
00:03:50It's nice.
00:03:51It's nice.
00:04:009-1-5-7.
00:04:025-7.
00:04:04Yeah.
00:04:06Expires 12-15.
00:04:08No, she'll definitely need another card sent out immediately.
00:04:12We're here for two weeks.
00:04:14No, I'm working here.
00:04:20Yes, I'll hold.
00:04:22You love how they ask.
00:04:24As if I have a choice.
00:04:26Do you know what I'm gonna try to do while I'm here?
00:04:28Besides, I know an Italian.
00:04:30I don't know why you think that's so ridiculous.
00:04:32I don't at all.
00:04:34I admire you.
00:04:36I just think it's too late for me.
00:04:38That's not true.
00:04:40You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
00:04:42And besides,
00:04:44what's the point?
00:04:46The whole bloody world speaks English.
00:04:48Well, I...
00:04:50I'm going to finally transcribe the tapes.
00:04:52Yes.
00:04:54All right.
00:04:56All right.
00:04:58Okay.
00:05:00Well, if you can see it through to the end,
00:05:04I 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.
00:05:14I always have.
00:05:15You know that?
00:05:20You shouldn't sound very supportive.
00:05:24You have my support.
00:05:26I'm sorry if that came out wrong.
00:05:30I just know how emotional listening to them can be.
00:05:33Has been for you.
00:05:34I think enough time has passed.
00:05:36Well, that's great.
00:05:38That's great.
00:05:40Maybe.
00:05:41The other one.

00:06:01Two.
00:06:02One.
00:06:03Why do you think he killed himself?
00:06:04David Foster Wallace
00:06:12You can't get a sense by his writing
00:06:19Do you think he recognized a blank infinity
00:06:30Just stretching out
00:06:31He got to this point maybe where
00:06:36It was just day after day after day
00:06:38I really don't know
00:06:40Just so tedious
00:06:42And then of course he felt guilty
00:06:45Most people think life is too short
00:06:48And there he was all the talent in the world
00:06:49Jane can I

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.

00:14:15Are you here on vacation?
00:14:16Oh.
00:14:20Sorry.
00:14:20I thought you were saying you were on vacation.
00:14:22Me?
00:14:23No.
00:14:25So come on.
00:14:27My husband is working in Naples.
00:14:30What does he do?
00:14:32He is playing in a concert at the end of the night.
00:14:35Cool.
00:14:36What does he play?
00:14:37Viola.
00:14:39Mm, mm, mm.
00:14:40The 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.
00:14:55Right?
00:14:58That's not funny.
00:14:59Um, what's the difference between a viola and a coffin?
00:15:02A coffin has a dead person on the inside.
00:15:04Because viola players are dead?
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.
00:15:17I can't help it, I've got this weird, autistic mind for jokes, and I went to this music slash nerd summer camp when I was like 10 and I played the triangle.
00:15:25Right.
00:15:25And I'm an only child, so, you know, I understand.
00:15:31You look too young to be married, are you newlywed?
00:15:33No.
00:15:34No.
00:15:34No.
00:15:35No.
00:15:35No.
00:15:36No.
00:15:40You're making me feel like a stalker.
00:15:48What the fuck?
00:15:49Want to give me 10, please?
00:15:50Yes.
00:15:5110.
00:15:5110.
00:15:58One?
00:15:5810.
00:15:59All right.
00:16:02Oh, hey, have you got 50 cents?
00:16:06You can catch it.
00:16:34What brought you out of here today?
00:16:36Barry.
00:16:36Ha!
00:16:37Barry.
00:16:38I 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 a bones.
00:16:48But can you imagine dying by just sitting there?
00:16:50That would suck.
00:16:58In, 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.
00:17:20You're a tourist.
00:17:22No, I'm not.
00:17:24I came out here a few months ago with this volunteer organization
00:17:28dedicated to studying the 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.
00:17:40I just didn't want to go to college, and they paid for me to come over.
00:17:42Four connecting flights is a 72-hour plane ride.
00:17:44But, you know, it was worth it.
00:17:46My first time out of the U.S.
00:17:48How old are you?
00:17:49I'm 19.
00:17:50It'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!
00:18:00I 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,
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.
00:18:19Anyway, 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,
00:18:29easily pushing a hundred.
00:18:31A hundred?
00:18:32Yeah, if not older, he's, like, deaf and blind and about four feet tall,
00:18:36and he 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.
00:18:54I am deafening to see who you are!
00:18:55That's big part of the entire building in the desert!
00:18:57That's motivo!
00:18:58I love you!
00:18:59That's-
00:19:00I love you!

00:19:07That's so amazing!
00:19:08I never let you play excel!
00:19:10I never saw you!
00:19:11Why don't you watch me years ago,
00:19:12I love you, you hear you, Duat, You!
00:19:13I've never been around forever,
00:19:15and I love you.
00:19:16That's six months ago.
00:19:17That's a seman's greatest.
00:19:18Makes you feel accomplished?
00:19:19I really, always subtle.
00:19:20I think, that's my friend.
00:19:21I love you!
00:19:22And I hate you.
00:19:23Love teaches me to feed on flames and tears, to turn withered hope green through desire,
00:19:49to re-enslave my heart each time love frees his noble face from that heavy disdain.
00:19:56Who is that?
00:19:59Vittoria Colonna.
00:20:01Ah, the woman who lived here.
00:20:04You read that in your guidebook this morning, didn't you, Jane? Sneaky.
00:20:10Yeah, I've decided to learn Italian by committing to memory all the sonnets she wrote to Michelangelo in English and Italian.
00:20:17I thought Michelangelo was gay.
00:20:19Ah, according to history and the muscular thighs of his sculptures, yes.
00:20:24But that didn't stop her from loving him.
00:20:27Let's hear it then. In Italian. Let's hear the poem.
00:20:34Come on.

00:21:59two world wars.
00:22:01I recorded her for hours and hours, but now, I don't know.

00:22:38Awful 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.
00:22:52We all have our own private wars, every era, but it was nothing like-
00:22:58It really brought people together, the war.
00:23:01We- We helped each other during that time.
00:23:04We had to laugh.
00:23:05We had to smile.
00:23:06Well, if not for ourselves, then for the people we'd lost.
00:23:10I'll shut that thing off, would you get it out of my face?
00:23:17That is like- It's like a window in time.
00:23:21The sort of thing you wish you always did before someone died, you know?
00:23:26My husband thinks I'm never gonna finish it.
00:23:29I shouldn't care what anyone thinks.
00:23:31We met while I was recording her.
00:23:33Bonding over granny, huh?
00:23:36Make it sound perverse.
00:23:38That's what it was, right?
00:23:40Buongiorno.
00:23:42Buongiorno.
00:23:43Signori.
00:23:52I got pregnant, so we got married.
00:23:54I lost the baby.
00:24:04I'm sorry.
00:24:05I'm sorry.
00:24:13Excuse me.
00:24:14It was your regret.
00:24:16Yes, thank you.
00:24:17You can take it away.
00:24:19Yes, thank you.
00:24:21Okay.
00:24:28I didn't go back after that to the States.
00:24:36Did you, uh, did you ever hear that story about the Red Strain?
00:24:42I think I might have.
00:24:44Tell me.
00:24:45It'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.
00:25:06It can be tangled or stretched, but it can never be broken.
00:25:13But...
00:25:14There's this moment in the tape.
00:25:19I'm sitting waiting in the airport bar for my flight.
00:25:26And I'm talking into the recorder, rambling on about how I'm about to embark on this amazing adventure.
00:25:33I'm going to show World War II from a totally different perspective.
00:25:37But...
00:25:46I don't know if it's that interesting.
00:25:49That's the whole point, isn't it?
00:25:52Keeping it interesting for yourself.
00:25:56Maybe.
00:25:59Maybe I just want to write about nothing.
00:26:02Everything is nothing.
00:26:05All the best.
00:26:07Compliano.
00:26:08Grazie.
00:26:09Grazie.
00:26:12Make a wish, huh?
00:26:14Make it great.
00:26:20Okay.
00:26:24Bravo. Bravo.

00:42:19There was one boy from Belgium.
00:42:47He was lovely. He had a moustache. My mother hated moustaches.
00:42:56But he was shipped off. I never saw him again.
00:43:04Anyways, I met your grandfather not long after and we got married.
00:43:09Was it love at first sight with Grandpa?
00:43:12Love at first sight? Stop that thing.
00:43:16I know. You're home early.
00:43:27I do deserve that.
00:43:29And I just met my husband.

00:44:42Leonard, can we talk?
00:45:12Say cheese.
00:45:28No, you should kind of be in the middle.
00:45:35Hold on a second.
00:45:51That's what our living room is missing.
00:46:06What did you do?
00:46:09Put my hand over my mouth.
00:46:11You did?
00:46:12What did you do?

00:49:44I think I need to be less serious.
00:49:46I think I need to be less serious.
00:49:47I think I need to be less serious.
00:49:59I think I need to be less serious.
00:50:00I think I need to be less serious.
00:52:31Leonard thought you were lying about those cats.
00:52:51You said that?
00:52:53Were you?
00:52:57They were delicious.
00:52:59You make me feel nervous.
00:53:19You make me feel calm.
00:53:24You want a drink?
00:53:31You want a drink?
00:53:37You want a drink?
00:53:45You want a drink?
00:53:53You want a drink?
00:54:01You want a drink?
00:54:05You want a drink?
00:54:10Is that him?
00:54:12Yeah, he just shuffled around all night.
00:54:17Must be lonely.
00:54:41Yeah.
00:54:45Yeah.
00:54:48Yeah.
00:55:04Yeah.
00:55:10Again, and again, and again, again, and again, again, and again, once I was single, my pocket
00:55:38single, I wish I was single again, again, and again, again, and again, once I was single,
00:55:55my pocket, single, I wish I was single again.
00:56:08I didn't sleep at all last night, where have you been?
00:56:15Just walking.
00:56:17All night.
00:56:19I've been thinking.
00:56:21You left your phone here, I had to plug it in.
00:56:25We need to talk, Leonard.
00:56:27I have to go to work.
00:56:29Can you be late?
00:56:31No, I can't be late.
00:56:35Leonard.
00:56:39Jay, whatever you have to say to me, I want to hear it.
00:56:43I've committed myself.
00:56:46People are depending on me.
00:56:47I have to go to work.
00:56:52Okay.
00:57:05If it wasn't the war, it would have been something else.
00:57:18There's always something else, isn't there?
00:57:23That's the thing.
00:57:24That's the thing about struggle.
00:57:36I'm going to make some tea.
00:57:37Do you want some?
00:57:38I'm all right.
00:57:59If you go out like that again, just tell me.
00:58:02No worry.
00:58:04Okay.
00:58:05I can't seem to figure out what's going on in your head.
00:58:25Do you think everything we've been through actually does us any good?
00:58:29in the long run?
00:58:34Or 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.
00:59:05I know what you want me to say, Jane.
00:59:08One little thing had changed in my grandmother's life, I might not be here.
00:59:31Sometimes I worry I'm not honoring her.
00:59:41With the book?
00:59:44No, with my life.
00:59:48This is it, you know.
00:59:49It ends with me.
01:00:03In the harvest time we all went to the field where they were cutting the corn.
01:00:09Everyone was chasing rabbits and then we had our tea in the harvest fields.
01:00:20The horses.
01:00:21Yeah.
01:00:22The horses back then, they were kept beautifully.
01:00:34Dad used to dress them all up, brass things and little horseshoes.
01:00:37He put braids on them.
01:00:39They used to be gorgeous.
01:00:41What are your plans for tomorrow?
01:00:42There was one.
01:00:43Duke.
01:00:44He was a Clydesdale I used to ride down to the marshes every night when he finished working.
01:00:58They were lovely days really.
01:01:03They're gone.
01:01:04They're gone.
01:01:05For me.
01:01:06Jane.
01:01:07But not for you.
01:01:08Jane.
01:01:09You know it's different for you.
01:01:10In some ways it's easier.
01:01:11You haven't got the war.
01:01:12People don't die as much as they did back then.
01:01:13But in some ways it's more disjointed.
01:01:28You've got to make your own life.
01:01:32One that you love and you can't be afraid of the time.
01:01:37Time is shiftable.
01:01:51There are moments in my life that I would trade 60 years to have back again.
01:01:55That's the truth.
01:01:56You know the truth when you find it.
01:01:59It'll come to you like something you've known before rather than something you're learning
01:02:03for the first time.
01:02:05Sorry.
01:02:06Ah!
01:02:07Ah!
01:02:08What is it?
01:02:09Ah!
01:02:10Ah!
01:02:11You all right?
01:02:12Ah!
01:02:13You okay?
01:02:14Yeah.
01:02:15Stunned my toe.
01:02:16Ah!
01:02:17Ah!
01:02:18Ah!
01:02:19Ah!
01:02:20You all right?
01:02:21Ah!
01:02:22You okay?
01:02:23Yeah.
01:02:24Stunned my toe.
01:02:25Ah!
01:02:26It's bleeding.
01:02:27Ah!
01:02:28It's fine.
01:02:29It's fine.
01:02:30It's fine.
01:02:31It's fine.
01:02:32It's fine.
01:02:33Are you finishing that?
01:02:34Yes.
01:02:35Ah!
01:02:36Fuck.
01:02:37I met these backpackers last night, Frank and Elsa.
01:02:50She's French.
01:02:51He's German.
01:02:52They're going to Tibet.
01:02:54And I'm going with them.
01:02:55I want you to come with me.
01:03:00But really.
01:03:01And I'm sorry.
01:03:03It's fine.
01:03:04It's fine.
01:03:05I know.
01:03:06I know.
01:03:07That's all.
01:03:08It's fine.
01:03:09It's fine.
01:03:10I know.
01:03:11It's fine.
01:03:13But we only did.
01:04:14Oh, when did they not?
01:04:17I don't think I'd chance to do another stint like this.
01:04:24How's the writing going?
01:04:27I'm feeling inspired.
01:04:32It's fantastic.
01:04:33I think I've figured out the key to finishing the project.
01:04:40Are you listening?
01:04:43You found the key to finishing this project?
01:04:56Well, the water here tastes so funny.
01:04:58Have 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?
01:05:28I 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?
01:06:01I love you.
01:06:13I get it, Leonard.
01:06:15I get it.
01:06:17It's always been this big, serious, grave thing for us.
01:06:20Sex has consequences.
01:06:21Life and death.
01:06:22Mostly death.
01:06:23Jane, please.
01:06:24Let me guess.
01:06:25You don't want to talk about it?
01:06:26No, that's not what I'm saying.
01:06:28You're just...
01:06:28Do you want to have children, Leonard?
01:06:30Of course I did.
01:06:31Not did.
01:06:32Do you want to have children?
01:06:35So did you.
01:06:37But...
01:06:40Say it.
01:06:42Jane.
01:06:42Say it.
01:06:44I can't have children, Leonard.
01:06:48I never will.
01:06:50And if we keep trying, they keep dying.
01:06:53Again and again and again.
01:06:55Please.
01:06:58How does that make you feel?
01:07:01It'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.
01:07:14That's not what you want, is it?
01:07:18Is that what you want?
01:07:22Because I think about it all the time.
01:07:27The one thing you always wanted, I will never be able to give you.
01:07:30What are you trying to do, Joan?
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.
01:08:03I feel as if you want me to be someone I'm not.
01:08:09Someone that I've never been.
01:08:14I'm leaving you.
01:08:17I've been seeing someone else.
01:08:24See you.
01:08:26Caleb.
01:08:27That 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?
01:08:49I kept waiting for you to see it, to smell it, to sense it.
01:08:59So what?
01:09:00I failed your test?
01:09:02You don't see me!
01:09:03You don't see me!
01:09:19I'm sorry.
01:09:24For what?
01:09:27I'm sorry.
01:09:28For what?
01:09:28I shouldn't have done that.
01:09:29No.
01:09:30Losing my temper.
01:09:31I shouldn't have done that.
01:09:32You had every right to lose your temper!
01:09:34No, no, no, no.
01:09:34If you think that this is what's going to make you feel better, then you should go.
01:09:38You should go with him.
01:09:40You've been through a terrible, terrible thing, Jane.
01:09:44No, that is not what this is about.
01:09:46Of course it is.
01:09:46You don't love me anymore, Leonard.
01:09:49You don't love me!
01:09:50That's rubbish.
01:09:52This is your ticket.
01:09:55The day after my performance, meet me at the train station.
01:10:01Our training's at 4.30.
01:10:03We'll go home together.
01:10:07I want you to do what you need to do.
01:10:13And then come back to me.
01:10:16No questions asked.
01:10:19No guilt.
01:10:22This is good.
01:10:23I want you to do what you need to do.
01:10:29I want you to do what you need to do.
01:10:30I want you to do what you need to do.

01:10:45I want you to do what you need to do.

01:12:00Oh, thanks.
01:12:02Oh, thanks.
01:12:03Oh, thanks.
01:12:05Oh, thanks.
01:12:35Frank, you know, it's coming over in a couple of hours.
01:12:48Frank bought a car, so we're going to head out in a couple of weeks or so, you know.
01:12:56I'm thinking of driving through Romania and then Ukraine and down through Russia and through
01:13:10Kazakhstan and then straight to Tibet.
01:13:14Yeah.
01:13:16Yeah.
01:13:18Yeah.
01:13:20Yeah.

01:14:34Yeah.
01:14:36Yeah.
01:14:38Jase, you've got to come over to this side, the train's going to be here in a minute.
01:15:06It's four in the morning, the end of December, I'm riding you now just to see you.
01:15:36New York is cold, but I like where I'm living.
01:15:43There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.
01:15:50I hear that you're building your house deep in the desert.
01:16:00Are 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.
01:16:33I wouldn't want to live to be 100.
01:16:35Why not?
01:16:36I'm not telling you why not.
01:16:39Did you ever go clear?
01:16:42Now shut that thing off.
01:16:44Ah, the last...
01:16:45The last...
01:16:46The last...
