0:21:47 > 0:21:49is "they hated me without a cause".
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Does that mean the Nazis were right to hate the Jews?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Is Huxley an anti-Semite?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55No.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04No, Mr Huxley is not an anti-Semite.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Of course the Nazis were wrong to hate the Jews,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09but their hating the Jews was not without a cause.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17It's just that the cause wasn't real. The cause was imagined.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19The cause was fear.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Let's leave the Jews out of this just for a moment.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30Let's think of another minority. One that can go unnoticed if it needs to.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37There are all sorts of minorities, blondes, for example.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39People with freckles.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42But a minority is only thought of as one
0:22:42 > 0:22:46when it constitutes some kind of threat to the majority. A real threat
0:22:46 > 0:22:51or an imagined one. And therein lies the fear.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55And if that minority is somehow invisible...
0:22:57 > 0:23:00..then the fear is much greater.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04And that fear is why the minority is persecuted.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07So, you see, there always is a cause. The cause is fear.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Minorities are just people.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11People like us.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20I can see I've lost you a bit.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Tell you what? We're going to forget about Mr Huxley today.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34Fear is taking over our world.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Fear is being used as a tool of manipulation in our society.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41It's how politicians peddle policy.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44It's how Madison Avenue sells us things you don't need.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Think about it.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49The fear of being attacked.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52The fear that there are communists lurking around every corner.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54The fear that some Caribbean country
0:23:54 > 0:23:57that doesn't believe in our way of life poses a threat.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47I don't think it went over very well.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Man, fear of things gets to me all the time,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53but you can't talk about it with anyone or you sound like a fool.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54You can't even talk about it with Lois?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56I don't think she's afraid of anything.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Everyone's afraid of something, Kenny.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00What are you afraid of, sir?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Cars.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04How can you live in Los Angeles and be afraid of cars?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Maybe you can't.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Sometimes my fear of things can almost paralyse me.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14It's like I get panic-stricken and feel I might explode or something...
0:25:15 > 0:25:17May I ask you a personal question, sir?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19If you like.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Do you ever get high?
0:25:21 > 0:25:23How old do I look to you?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Have you ever taken drugs?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Of course, Kenny.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Like what?
0:25:29 > 0:25:33I don't feel I should be discussing this with you on campus, Mr Potter.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36It's the only way I get by sometimes.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Have you ever tried mescaline?
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Not my drug of choice.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43I shaved off one of my eyebrows once on mescaline. Not a good look for me.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Sir?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47I looked in the mirror, big mistake if you're high on mescaline.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I decided my eyebrows were taking over my face
0:25:50 > 0:25:52and before I knew it, I'd shaved one off.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Wore a Band-aid for six weeks while the brow grew back. Embarrassing.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57You didn't take it again after that?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Kenny, have you been listening to me? I shaved off my eyebrow.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04I wanted an experience, Mr Potter, not a career on stage.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- If you ever want to get high, sir, I usually have some dope.- (LAUGHS)
0:26:10 > 0:26:12You really are mad, aren't you?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I'm sorry, sir, I guess you don't feel comfortable talking like this.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24What makes you say that?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Lois thinks you're kind of cagey. Like this morning,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30when you were listening to all that crap we were talking about Huxley.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Not all of you. I didn't notice you open your mouth once.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35I was watching you.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40You let us ramble on and on and then you straighten us out,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43but you never really tell us everything you know about something.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Well, maybe that's true, up to a point.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51It's not that I want to be cagey.
0:26:51 > 0:26:57It's just that I can't really discuss things completely openly at school.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Somebody would misunderstand.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I tried that today. Didn't really work out.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11What was it you wanted to get, sir?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Nothing. I was on my way to the Dean's office.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17You mean, you walked all the way down here just to talk to me?
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Why not?
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Well, I think you deserve something for that, sir.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24- Here, sir, take your pick. - (CHUCKLES)
0:27:24 > 0:27:25It's on me.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Thank you.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- I thought you'd probably pick blue. - Why blue?
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Isn't blue supposed to be spiritual?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37What makes you think I'm spiritual?
0:27:41 > 0:27:42And you? Red?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46What does red stand for?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48A lot of things. Rage. Lust.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51No kidding?
0:27:56 > 0:28:01Well, sir, I guess I'll see you around.

0:29:21 > 0:29:25Just trying to finish up a book. How's your day going?
0:29:25 > 0:29:27'Quiet. I was just leaving school.'
0:29:27 > 0:29:30'I wanted to know if you needed anything for tonight?'
0:29:30 > 0:29:35Oh, thanks, you're sweet, but I think I'm all set. Oh.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37'Be a darling...'
0:29:37 > 0:29:40and pick up some gin for me? Tanqueray.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42I love the colour of the bottle.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46You love what's in it. What time do you want me?
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Seven would be great if that's OK with you.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51'Perfect. I'll see you then.'
0:29:51 > 0:29:53See you then. Bye, Geo.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19No, I mean, are you going on vacation or something?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- What? - I saw you cleaning out your office.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29What exactly is it that you want, Kenny?
0:31:30 > 0:31:31I was just hoping that
0:31:31 > 0:31:35perhaps we could get together for a drink or something sometime.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36And why is that?
0:31:37 > 0:31:41I don't know, sir. Because I think you might like it.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45And because you seem as though you could use a friend.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- Oh really? - Yes, sir, you do.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57Well, you may be right, but it'll have to be another time. I'm late.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02But thank you for the invitation.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04And thank you for the talk earlier.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07And stay off the mescaline.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Hello, Mr Falconer. - Hello. How are you today?
0:32:41 > 0:32:43I'm fine, sir. Do you need to get into your box?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- Yes, I do. Thank you. - Follow me.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Here you are, sir.

0:34:14 > 0:34:17So explain your friend Charlotte for me.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20What would you like to know?
0:34:20 > 0:34:22I don't know. You seem very intimate, I guess.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Like you were once together, or something.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- You haven't slept with her, have you?- Yes.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33And?
0:34:35 > 0:34:37A few times when we were younger.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39I wouldn't say it mean nothing to me
0:34:39 > 0:34:41but it certainly meant a great deal more to Charly.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44It was a long time ago, in London.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49I love Charly, and we are very close friends but that's all.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53I'm confused. If you sleep with women, then why are you with me?
0:34:53 > 0:34:57Because I fall in love with men. Because I fell in love with you.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Anyway, doesn't everyone sleep with women when they're young?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- I haven't. - You're joking.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09No. I'm not. It was just never anything that really interested me.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Well, you're awfully modern, aren't you?
0:35:11 > 0:35:14You know, I think that was the first thing I noticed about you.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18How sure of yourself you were.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23How can you be so sure about everything at your age?
0:35:24 > 0:35:26You think I'm sure of myself?
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Of course you are.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51I'm finished now. Thank you.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Yes, Mr Falconer.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Something else we can help you with today?
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Can't find my cheque book and I need some cash.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Not my day, I'm afraid. Excuse me a minute.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08Why do you look so sad?
0:37:08 > 0:37:09Would you like to meet Charlton Heston?

0:37:20 > 0:37:23Daddy says it's like the Coliseum
0:37:23 > 0:37:25so my brother Tom put all the columns on here.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27He wants to be a set designer.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30He hasn't eaten the spider yet
0:37:30 > 0:37:33cos he's still full from the moth we gave him last night.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Daddy says he wants to throw you into the Coliseum.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39No kidding. Why?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Well, he says you're light in your loafers
0:37:41 > 0:37:43but you aren't even wearing loafers.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48I think my brother Tom's light in his loafers too, but he wears Keds.
0:37:50 > 0:37:55He made me do a hair-conditioning treatment on my hair with eggs.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56Does it look shiny?
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Sweetheart, what are you doing bothering Mr Falconer?
0:37:59 > 0:38:01She's not bothering me at all, Susan. How are you?
0:38:02 > 0:38:04I'm glad to see you, George.

0:38:07 > 0:38:09and would love it if you'd join us.

0:38:36 > 0:38:39We have a two-for-one sale on handguns.

0:43:44 > 0:43:46- Where are you from? - Madrid.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49Madrid? How did you get here?
0:43:49 > 0:43:54It's a long story. I met a guy from LA at the hotel where I worked
0:43:54 > 0:43:57who told me I could live with him and that he could get me an agent.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00But I never realised that I have a Spanish accent.
0:44:00 > 0:44:05(LAUGHS) I like your accent. You speak very well.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08How did you learn English?
0:44:08 > 0:44:11My mum had an American boyfriend when I was little.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14Is your mother in Madrid?
0:44:14 > 0:44:18Yes. She cuts hair. She cut my hair before I left. Do you like it?
0:44:20 > 0:44:22I thought it made me look like James Dean.

0:44:36 > 0:44:39This is kind of a serious day for me.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43Come on. What could be so serious for a guy like you?
0:44:44 > 0:44:48Oh, I'm just trying to get over an old love, I guess.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53Well, my mother says that lovers are like buses.
0:44:53 > 0:44:57You just have to wait a little while and another one comes along.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04I have to go.

0:46:52 > 0:46:55Like yesterday, I was standing in the front yard,
0:46:55 > 0:46:58and Susan came over to talk and that little brat of hers, Christopher,
0:46:58 > 0:47:01came running over waving that damned gun of his around.
0:47:01 > 0:47:05Our little dog walked right up, hiked his leg

0:55:12 > 0:55:17I think about Richard every day. It's hard being alone.
0:55:18 > 0:55:22At least you have a job and a life.
0:55:22 > 0:55:25Let's have a bit of dinner, shall we?
0:55:25 > 0:55:29Because I've worked so very hard.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31What are you talking about?
0:55:31 > 0:55:33Seriously, there's no such thing as old any more.
0:55:33 > 0:55:37The other day, one of my students called me a "senior citizen".
0:55:37 > 0:55:39I wouldn't mind if "old" didn't exist,
0:55:39 > 0:55:41but I'm not sure "senior" is what I'm aiming for either.
0:55:41 > 0:55:44It's all becoming so bland. It's not why I came to America.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47It's a complete breakdown of culture and manners.
0:55:47 > 0:55:49The young ones have no manners.
0:55:49 > 0:55:53The other day at the car wash, a young man looked me up and down
0:55:53 > 0:55:56and asked me if I was a natural blonde.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59- What did you say?- I looked him straight in the eye and said,
0:55:59 > 0:56:01"Well, let's just say if I stood on my head
0:56:01 > 0:56:03"I'd be a natural brunette with lovely breath."
0:56:03 > 0:56:07- You didn't! (LAUGHS) - I did! (LAUGHS)
0:56:07 > 0:56:11And the amusing thing was that it went right over his head.
0:56:11 > 0:56:14You had a mouth on you even back in London.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17Do you remember that old lesbian who threw her drink over your head
0:56:17 > 0:56:19because you asked her if she was hung like a doughnut?!
0:56:19 > 0:56:23(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER)
0:56:29 > 0:56:34Oh, Geo, we could always go back to London. The two of us.
0:56:34 > 0:56:37- No, thanks. - You know you miss it.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39I miss it sometimes.
0:56:39 > 0:56:42Maybe if Jim had lived. He loved being in England.
0:56:42 > 0:56:44He asked to stay last time we were there.
0:56:44 > 0:56:47Do you really think you would have moved?
0:56:48 > 0:56:52Don't know. It's silly to talk about it. It's only a fantasy.
0:57:00 > 0:57:01What's this?
0:57:01 > 0:57:07My mother's wedding ring. Found it in a drawer I was cleaning out.
0:57:11 > 0:57:13Oh.
0:57:13 > 0:57:16Charly, my dear, you and I are both in need of another drink.

1:00:24 > 1:00:26Thank you.
1:00:36 > 1:00:41- Very smooth cigarette move. - I've always wanted to do that.
1:00:41 > 1:00:43You don't even smoke.
1:00:43 > 1:00:46Not for the last 16 years. Jim hated it.
1:00:46 > 1:00:49What's to stop me now? It's not as if it's going to kill me?
1:00:55 > 1:00:59This is so nice, lying here with you.
1:01:00 > 1:01:03Don't you ever miss this?
1:01:03 > 1:01:06What we could have been to each other?
1:01:06 > 1:01:09Having a real relationship and kids?
1:01:12 > 1:01:13I had... I had Jim.
1:01:13 > 1:01:17No, I mean a real relationship.
1:01:17 > 1:01:22Geo, let's be honest, what you and Jim had together was wonderful but...
1:01:22 > 1:01:25wasn't it really just a substitute for something else?
1:01:28 > 1:01:32Is that what you really think after all of these years? Hmm?
1:01:32 > 1:01:37You think Jim was just some kind of substitute for real love?
1:01:41 > 1:01:47Jim was not a substitute for anything. You understand?
1:01:47 > 1:01:50And there is no substitute for Jim, anywhere!
1:01:50 > 1:01:53And by the way, what is so real about your relationship with Richard?
1:01:53 > 1:01:59He left you after nine years! Jim and I were together for 16 years
1:01:59 > 1:02:01and if he hadn't died we'd still be together!
1:02:01 > 1:02:05- What the hell is not real about that?!- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
1:02:05 > 1:02:09I know how much the two of you loved each other.
1:02:09 > 1:02:12I suppose I'm just jealous that you and I never had that kind of love.
1:02:15 > 1:02:18Actually I've never had that kind of love with anybody.
1:02:20 > 1:02:24I don't think Richard ever loved me, except for the way I looked.
1:02:24 > 1:02:28And Clay, I don't know. You raise a child and love it
1:02:28 > 1:02:30and then when they're old enough they just leave.
1:02:30 > 1:02:33Charly, there is nothing wrong with your life.
1:02:33 > 1:02:36You like feeling sorry for yourself. It's one of your great pleasures.
1:02:36 > 1:02:40And it's not one of yours? You're as pathetic as I am.
1:02:40 > 1:02:42Feeling sorry for myself is not one of my pleasures.
1:02:42 > 1:02:45It's not one of mine. I don't like feeling sorry for myself.
1:02:45 > 1:02:47I tried to hold onto Richard for so long
1:02:47 > 1:02:50even when it was obvious to everyone but me that it was over.
1:02:50 > 1:02:53Now Clay is grown up. What am I doing here, Geo? Tell me, what?!
1:02:53 > 1:02:56You have plenty of friends. You'll be fine.
1:02:56 > 1:02:59Yes, I have friends. But none of them need me. And yes, I have you,
1:02:59 > 1:03:03and if you weren't such a goddamn poof we could have all been happy!
1:03:08 > 1:03:10I only have you now because you lost Jim.
1:03:10 > 1:03:14Soon I'll lose you to someone else. It's not as easy for a woman.
1:03:14 > 1:03:15I did everything the way I was supposed to
1:03:15 > 1:03:18and all I have to keep me company is a bottle of gin.
1:03:18 > 1:03:21Maybe you should try doughnuts with your gin.
1:03:21 > 1:03:23Screw you!
1:03:25 > 1:03:28Charlotte, you are dramatic.
1:03:28 > 1:03:29I swear, you almost had me.
1:03:29 > 1:03:33A tiny tear was beginning to form in the corner of my eye.
1:03:33 > 1:03:38Now stop it. You are still breathtakingly beautiful...
1:03:39 > 1:03:41..when you can be bothered to get out of bed
1:03:41 > 1:03:45and stop whimpering about everything for five minutes.
1:03:45 > 1:03:49Go to London. Change your life. If you're not happy being a woman,
1:03:49 > 1:03:50stop acting like one.
1:03:50 > 1:03:53You have all the answers.
1:03:53 > 1:03:55I don't have any of them, actually.
1:03:55 > 1:03:58If you're so smart, why don't you do something new with your life?
1:03:58 > 1:04:01Take that position at Stanford? You complain about that school
1:04:01 > 1:04:04- but you could go anywhere you want. - What I've done has been worthwhile.
1:04:04 > 1:04:10I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.
1:04:10 > 1:04:12As much as I dread it, I think I will go back to London.
1:04:12 > 1:04:14Why do you dread it?
1:04:14 > 1:04:19When I lived in London last I was young, fresh, I was everything.
1:04:19 > 1:04:22Coming to America was such a dream, it was the icing on the cake.
1:04:22 > 1:04:25Going home is defeat.
1:04:25 > 1:04:28None of it really worked out the way I planned.
1:04:28 > 1:04:30Most things don't work out the way people plan.
1:04:32 > 1:04:36You're living in the past. You need to start thinking about your future.
1:04:36 > 1:04:40Living in the past is my future. It doesn't have to be yours.
1:04:40 > 1:04:42You're a man.
1:04:43 > 1:04:46And you're a bore tonight.
1:04:46 > 1:04:50Can't we just feel sorry for ourselves a little bit longer?
1:04:50 > 1:04:53- Let's have another drink. Please? - I don't think so. I have to go.
1:04:53 > 1:04:56- Walk me out.- No!- Come on, I have to go.- This was such fun!
1:04:56 > 1:04:58- Come on. - No.
1:05:06 > 1:05:09When will I see you again?
1:05:09 > 1:05:13- Aren't you going to England? - No, I'll never do that!
1:05:13 > 1:05:15It's far too much effort.
1:05:15 > 1:05:20Besides, I don't think Jim would want me to leave you here all alone.
1:05:20 > 1:05:25Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I've got all the answers. Remember?
1:05:25 > 1:05:27What are you doing this weekend?
1:05:28 > 1:05:30I think I might just be very quiet.
1:05:32 > 1:05:36You never really did take me seriously, did you, George?
1:05:36 > 1:05:40I tried to, Charly. Remember? A long time ago.
1:05:40 > 1:05:43It didn't really work out, did it?
1:05:44 > 1:05:46Good night, Charly.

1:11:31 > 1:11:32What kind of stuff?
1:11:32 > 1:11:35Like the stuff you were talking about in class.
1:11:35 > 1:11:36That is definitely not important.
1:11:36 > 1:11:39No, it IS important. Your class is great.
1:11:39 > 1:11:43But somehow we always seem to get stuck talking about the past.
1:11:43 > 1:11:45The past just doesn't matter to me.
1:11:45 > 1:11:47And the present?
1:11:47 > 1:11:50I can't wait for the present to be over. It's a total drag.

1:12:08 > 1:12:10what about the future?
1:12:10 > 1:12:12What future? Cuba might just blow us up.
1:12:12 > 1:12:15Death is the future.
1:12:15 > 1:12:17I'm sorry. I don't mean to be depressing.
1:12:17 > 1:12:20It's not depressing, it's true. It may not be your immediate future,
1:12:20 > 1:12:24but it's what we all share. Death is the future.
1:12:24 > 1:12:26You're right, I guess.
1:12:26 > 1:12:28So if one is not enjoying one's present,
1:12:28 > 1:12:32there isn't a great deal to suggest that the future should be any better.
1:12:32 > 1:12:34Yeah, I've thought that before.
1:12:34 > 1:12:39But the thing is, you just never know. Look at tonight.
1:12:44 > 1:12:48Actually I feel really alone most of the time.
1:12:48 > 1:12:51- You do? - Yeah.
1:12:51 > 1:12:56I've always felt this way. I mean, we're born alone, we die alone.
1:12:56 > 1:12:57And while we're here,
1:12:57 > 1:13:03we're absolutely, completely sealed in our own bodies. Really weird.

1:13:13 > 1:13:17Who knows what you're really like? I just see what I think you're like.
1:13:17 > 1:13:19I'm exactly what I appear to be...

1:13:27 > 1:13:30(SIGHS DEEPLY)
1:13:30 > 1:13:34You know the only thing that has made the whole thing worthwhile
1:13:34 > 1:13:37has been those few times
1:13:37 > 1:13:42when I've been able to really, truly connect with another human being.

1:13:56 > 1:14:00You know, everyone keeps telling you that when you're older,
1:14:00 > 1:14:03you'll have all this experience, like it's some great thing.
1:14:03 > 1:14:05Hmm, it's a load of shit.
1:14:05 > 1:14:07I think I've actually got sillier and sillier.
1:14:07 > 1:14:09- Really? - Absolutely.
1:14:09 > 1:14:14So all your experience is useless?

1:14:28 > 1:14:31It was a test. I thought you were bluffing about being silly,

1:17:01 > 1:17:02Can we go back to your place, sir?
1:17:02 > 1:17:06Of course. Where else?
1:17:06 > 1:17:08- Where else? - Are you out of your mind?
1:17:08 > 1:17:09What's the matter?
1:17:10 > 1:17:12You can't go home like that.
1:17:12 > 1:17:14We're invisible, don't you know that?
1:17:15 > 1:17:18You know, sir, they ought not to let you out on your own.
1:17:18 > 1:17:20You're liable to get into real trouble.
1:17:20 > 1:17:23Oh, I excel at it.
1:17:23 > 1:17:25Your forehead's bleeding.
1:17:48 > 1:17:52The bathroom's just down the hall if you'd like to take a shower.
1:17:52 > 1:17:53Aren't you taking a shower too, sir?
1:17:53 > 1:17:57I'm fine. I'm English. We like to be cold and wet.
1:17:57 > 1:18:00First, I think we need to take care of that cut, sir.
1:18:00 > 1:18:01Do you have any Band-aids?
1:18:05 > 1:18:07Going camping, sir?
1:18:07 > 1:18:09I'm fine, really.
1:18:09 > 1:18:11Stay there. I'll be right back.
1:18:53 > 1:18:56Sit up.
1:18:56 > 1:18:58Tilt your head back.
1:19:08 > 1:19:10(UNWRAPS THE PLASTER)
1:19:22 > 1:19:25Well, sir, I'm afraid this time you don't have the excuse of mescaline
1:19:25 > 1:19:29- to explain your Band-aid. - (CHUCKLES)
1:19:29 > 1:19:31I think we should get you out of those wet clothes.
1:19:34 > 1:19:35Yes, sir.

1:21:07 > 1:21:09Would you like a drink?
1:21:09 > 1:21:10I'll have a beer, sir, if you have one.
1:21:10 > 1:21:13I'm afraid that's all we have.
1:21:13 > 1:21:15Two beers, coming up.
1:21:28 > 1:21:30You live here by yourself, sir?
1:21:30 > 1:21:34I do now. I used to share this place with a friend who was an architect.
1:21:34 > 1:21:38Man, guys my age dream about the kind of set-up you've got here.
1:21:38 > 1:21:41I mean, what more can you want?
1:21:41 > 1:21:45You get to be left alone and come and go as you please.
1:21:46 > 1:21:48Is that your idea of a perfect life?
1:21:48 > 1:21:50What's the matter, sir? Don't you believe me?
1:21:50 > 1:21:52If you're so keen on the idea of living by yourself,
1:21:52 > 1:21:55- where does Lois fit into this plan? - Lois?
1:21:55 > 1:21:57What's she got to do with anything?
1:21:57 > 1:22:00I got the impression that you and she were together.
1:22:03 > 1:22:07Not really. She's kind of cool and we're good friends,
1:22:07 > 1:22:14but I think what you really want to ask me is if we sleep together.
1:22:14 > 1:22:17- And do you? - We did. Once.
1:22:17 > 1:22:18Why only once?
1:22:18 > 1:22:22I didn't say only once, I said once.
1:22:22 > 1:22:25Come on, last thing I want to talk about right now is Lois.
1:22:25 > 1:22:26What time is it?
1:22:26 > 1:22:31Mmm, my watch seems to have stopped.
1:22:38 > 1:22:39Do you want me to go?
1:22:39 > 1:22:43You must be kidding! Go and get us another beer.
1:22:44 > 1:22:46Is that an order, sir?
1:22:48 > 1:22:50Damn right it is.
1:23:00 > 1:23:02Pathetic! (BOTTLE BANGS)
1:23:04 > 1:23:06Did you say something, sir?
1:23:09 > 1:23:10Why are you here?
1:23:13 > 1:23:15Why did you go to the office
1:23:15 > 1:23:18and ask the secretary for my address?
1:23:20 > 1:23:25I just wanted to see you some place other than school.
1:23:25 > 1:23:26Why?
1:23:29 > 1:23:31Sometimes I think I'm crazy
1:23:31 > 1:23:34cos I see things so differently to everyone else.
1:23:34 > 1:23:36I feel like I can talk to you.
1:23:38 > 1:23:40To be honest, sir, I was also worried about you today.
1:23:45 > 1:23:49Me? What's there to worry about?
1:23:49 > 1:23:52I'm fine. (CHUCKLES)

1:26:41 > 1:26:47'A few times in my life, I've had moments of absolute clarity.
1:26:49 > 1:26:54'When for a few brief seconds, the silence drowns out the noise
1:26:54 > 1:26:58'and I can feel...rather than think.
1:26:58 > 1:27:04'And things seem so sharp and the world seems so fresh.
1:27:04 > 1:27:08'It's as though it had all just come into existence.'

1:27:30 > 1:27:33'I cling to them, but, like everything, they fade.
1:27:35 > 1:27:37'I have lived my life on these moments.
