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.
00:01:30Traffico di Napoli.
00:01:32Di queste due uomini.
00:01:34Cazzo.
00:01:35Questa si si va al primo posto.
00:01:43Shit.
00:01:45C'è un po'
00:01:46Campo in il mio wallet.
00:01:51Il mio c-c-c-c-c-c?
00:01:52No.
00:01:55Oh, ma se ci si può stare all'interno.
00:01:56C'è un po'
00:01:57Sì, c'è un po'
00:01:58Con il mio c-c-c-c-c.
00:01:59Cosa c'è?
00:02:03Che hai pensato?

00:02:15Cosa c'è?
00:02:16Cosa c'è?
00:02:17Cosa c'è?
00:02:18Cosa c'è?
00:02:19Can you just give her a minute?
00:02:22One, one moment, one moment.
00:02:25Okay, okay, okay.
00:02:27Okay, okay, okay.
00:02:33Where did you have it last?
00:02:35Oh, no.
00:02:37The train station, I think? The exchange cruise?
00:02:42Oh, Dana, I'm sorry.
00:02:45That bastard at the train station started when you dropped all this stuff.
00:02:54This is 170, not 70.
00:02:56Where do we need to go?
00:02:58We need 70.
00:03:10Here we go.
00:03:15Is this it?
00:03:17Thanks, lad.
00:03:18It's nice.
00:03:19It's nice.
00:03:20Yes.
00:03:21I have a credit card.
00:03:22The number is on my computer.
00:03:23Yes, I have a credit card.
00:03:25Yes, I have the credit card numbers on file on my computer.
00:03:49Yes, I have them here.
00:03:52Okay, five, five, three, three, seven, six, four, five, eight, seven, eight, seven, nine,
00:04:02one, five, seven, five, seven, yeah, expires 12.15.
00:04:11No, she'll definitely need another card sent out immediately, we're here for two weeks.
00:04:17No, I'm working here.
00:04:21Yes, I'll hold.
00:04:24You 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, I know an Italian.
00:04:32I don't know why you think that's so ridiculous.
00:04:35I 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.
00:04:42You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
00:04:45Besides, what's the point?
00:04:47The whole bloody world speaks English.
00:04:49Well, I...
00:04:51Are you going to finally transcribe the tapes?
00:04:55Yes.
00:04:57All right.
00:04:59Okay.
00:05:02Well, if you can see it through to the end, I think that's wonderful.
00:05:07What does that mean?
00:05:10Nothing.
00:05:11Nothing?
00:05:13I think it's a fantastic idea, Jane.
00:05:15I always have.
00:05:16You know that?
00:05:19You 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, has been, for you.
00:05:35I think enough time has passed.
00:05:38Well, that's great.
00:05:42That's great.
00:06:01Why do you think he killed himself?
00:06:08Who?
00:06:11David Foster Wallace.
00:06:13I don't know.
00:06:17You can't get a sense by his writing?
00:06:20You have to read it when I'm done, don't I?
00:06:28Do you think he recognized a blank infinity just stretching out?
00:06:34He got to this point maybe where it was just day after day after day.
00:06:38I really don't know.
00:06:40Just so tedious.
00:06:43And 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 I.
00:06:50Jane, can I, can we not talk about this?
00:06:53Just, just, just a bit moment.
00:07:10Love you.
00:07:12Love you.
00:07:13Love you too.
00:07:16Do you feel alright?
00:07:31Do you feel all right?
00:07:37Do you feel okay?
00:07:38Yeah.
00:07:40Are you sure?
00:07:46Mm-hmm.
00:08:01Mm-hmm.
00:08:31Mm-hmm.
00:09:01Are 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.
00:09:26True.
00:09:33Then 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.
00:09:44I've left you some money here.
00:09:54I'll see you later.
00:09:55Have a good day.
00:09:56Testing, testing.
00:10:07Okay.
00:10:08Do you have any stories?
00:10:10Do you have any stories for my book?
00:10:22Okay.
00:10:23Do you have any stories for my book?
00:10:28What kind of stories?
00:10:30Stories that you've prepared for, I can ask them the list of stories that Dad told me about.
00:10:34Go ahead and ask from your father's list.
00:10:36God rest his soul.
00:10:37Let's start with the war.
00:10:40We went into an air raid shelter.
00:10:42My mother, your great-grandmother, she was shaking.
00:10:46Sirens wailed and then there was the sound of a bomb.
00:10:50And the man next to us, he said,
00:10:52I was in a shelter last night with my wife and my little boy and half of it got blown away.
00:10:59There was blood in his hair.
00:11:02He was all alone.
00:11:03That 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.
00:11:15And this man, he had blood in his hair.
00:11:22In a cappuccino?
00:11:26Okay.
00:11:45Good night, Tim.

00:13:59Hey, hey, hey.
00:14:01Where are you from?
00:14:03London.
00:14:04No, in America.
00:14:05Come on.
00:14:05Maine.
00:14:06No, shit.
00:14:07I'm from Massachusetts.
00:14:08That's crazy.
00:14:09That's weird.
00:14:10Right?
00:14:11Yeah.
00:14:12Vacation?
00:14:13No.
00:14:13Are you?
00:14:14What?
00:14:15Are you here on vacation?
00:14:16Oh.
00:14:20Sorry.
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.
00:14:45How 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?
00:15:01A 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, 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.
00:15:26And I'm an only child, so, you know, I understand.
00:15:31You look too young to be married.
00:15:32Are you newlywed?
00:15:34No.
00:15:35Stop making me feel like a stalker.
00:15:48What the fuck?
00:15:49Want to give me 10, please?
00:15:50Yes.
00:15:50Yes.
00:15:5110.
00:15:5110.
00:15:5210.
00:15:5210.
00:15:5310.
00:15:5410.
00:15:5510.
00:15:5610.

00:16:0810.
00:16:0910.
00:16:1010.
00:16:1110.
00:16:1210.
00:16:1310.
00:16:1410.
00:16:1510.
00:16:1610.
00:16:1710.
00:16:1810.
00:16:1910.
00:16:2010.
00:16:2110.
00:16:2210.
00:16:2310.
00:16:2410.
00:16:2510.
00:16:2610.
00:16:2710.
00:16:2810.
00:16:2910.
00:16:3010.
00:16:3110.
00:16:32What brought you out of here today?
00:16:35Fairy.
00:16:36Ha! Fairy.
00:16:38I like it.
00:16:40They have this device down in the basement.
00:16:42It's like a torture cage.
00:16:44They lock you in there until you turn to bones.
00:16:47But can you imagine dying by just sitting there?
00:16:50That would suck.
00:16:57In, like, the 1300s,
00:16:59thousands of families lived in this castle.
00:17:02It smells pretty bad.
00:17:04All those people crammed onto this rock.
00:17:09Wow.
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.
00:17:18You're a tourist.
00:17:21No, I'm not.
00:17:23I came out here a few months ago
00:17:25with this volunteer organization
00:17:27dedicated to studying the relic populations
00:17:30of dolphins and whales in the Gulf of Naples.
00:17:34I can't tell if you're joking.
00:17:35I'm dead fucking serious.
00:17:39No, I just didn't want to go to college
00:17:40and they paid for me to come over.
00:17:42Four 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!
00:18:01I just stayed on the island
00:18:02because I have this awesome living situation.
00:18:04I'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
00:18:15is 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
00:18:22of this great uncle who lives on the island,
00:18:24so I show up, he answers the door,
00:18:27and 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
00:18:35and 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
00:18:41and leads me to this basement apartment,
00:18:43and, uh, yeah, I never left.
00:19:13Love teaches me to feed on flames and tears.
00:19:41To turn withered hope green through desire.
00:19:46To re-enslave my heart each time love frees his noble face
00:19:52from that heavy disdain.
00:19:54Who is that?
00:19:57Vittoria Colonna.
00:20:00Ah, the woman who lived here.
00:20:03You read that in your guidebook this morning, didn't you, Jane?
00:20:07Sneaky.
00:20:09Yeah, I've decided to learn Italian by committing to memory
00:20:12all the sonnets she wrote to Michelangelo
00:20:14in English and Italian.
00:20:16Who thought Michelangelo was gay?
00:20:18Ah, according to history,
00:20:19and the muscular thighs of his sculptures, yes,
00:20:23but that didn't stop her from loving him.
00:20:26Let's hear it, then.
00:20:28In Italian.
00:20:30Let's hear the poem.
00:20:32Let's hear the poem.
00:20:34Come on.
00:20:35Okay.
00:20:36Let's hear the poem.
00:20:39Let's hear the poem.
00:20:40Let's hear the poem.
00:20:42Let's hear the poem.
00:20:44I'm going to sing.
00:20:45I'm impressed.
00:21:08You hungry?
00:21:10Why, you gonna take me out?
00:21:13Yeah.
00:21:15All right, then.
00:21:19Okay.
00:21:24Two pastas with the house sauce, please.
00:21:28Red.
00:21:28White?
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?
00:21:40I write freelance articles about parties and fashion trends in town and country UK.
00:21:45There's something else.
00:21:54I'm writing a book about my grandmother's experiences in rural England, living through two world wars.
00:22:01I recorded her for hours and hours.
00:22:03But now, I don't know.
00:22:09What don't you know?
00:22:12You want to listen?
00:22:13A little?
00:22:15Yeah.
00:22:16Yeah?
00:22:17Yeah, no, I love to listen.
00:22:18That's tangled up.
00:22:35I don't love.
00:22:36Awful as it was, it made you stronger.
00:22:45These days, people whine about all sorts of things.
00:22:49I'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.
00:23:00It really brought people together, the war.
00:23:02We helped each other during that time.
00:23:05We had to laugh.
00:23:06We had to smile.
00:23:08Well, if not for ourselves, then for the people we'd lost.
00:23:12I shut that thing off.
00:23:13Would you get it out of my face?
00:23:18That is like, it's like a window in time.
00:23:23The sort of thing you wish you always did before someone died, you know?
00:23:27My husband thinks I'm never going to finish it.
00:23:30I shouldn't care what anyone thinks.
00:23:32We met while I was recording her.
00:23:35Bonding over Granny, huh?
00:23:38Make it sound perverse.
00:23:40That's what it was, right?
00:23:42Good job, now.
00:23:43I got pregnant, so we got married.
00:24:01I lost the baby.
00:24:05I'm sorry.
00:24:06I didn't go back after that to the States.
00:24:31Did you, uh, did you ever hear that story about the Red Strain?
00:24:43I think I might have.
00:24:44Tell me.
00:24:45It's like this Asian proverb says that anyone you're destined to meet, like your soulmate or your family or, you know, someone you bump into on the street, we're all connected by this red string.
00:25:05It can be tangled or stretched, but it can never be broken.
00:25:12There's this moment in the tape.
00:25:21I'm sitting, waiting in the airport bar for my flight.
00:25:24And I'm talking into the recorder, rambling on about how I'm about to embark on this amazing adventure and how I'm going to show World War II from a totally different perspective.
00:25:37But...
00:25:38I don't know if it's that interesting.
00:25:50That's the whole point, isn't it?
00:25:53Keeping it interesting for yourself.
00:25:57Maybe.
00:26:00Maybe I just want to write about nothing.
00:26:02Everything is nothing.
00:26:06All the best.
00:26:07Compliano.
00:26:08Grazie.
00:26:09Grazie.
00:26:13Make a wish, huh?
00:26:16Make it great.
00:26:21Okay.
00:26:25Bravo.
00:26:26Bravo.
00:26:27Hey.
00:26:27Hey.
00:26:32It's a carab kneeri.
00:26:34Man, please.
00:26:37Yeah.
00:26:58Yeah.
00:26:59Yeah.
00:26:59Yeah.
00:27:00Yeah.
00:27:00Yeah.
00:27:01Yeah.
00:27:01Yeah.
00:27:01We can't go back! We can't go back!
00:27:06We can't get back!
00:27:11Oh God!
00:27:16Oh God!
00:27:23Hey, hey, hey!
00:27:26It'd make you feel better if I said I said that one day up.
00:27:29Yes, 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.
00:27:45Let's go.
00:27:47Let's go.
00:27:51Why are we still running?
00:27:53I don't know why we're still running.
00:27:59No!
00:28:09Oh my gosh.
00:28:14It went up my nose.
00:28:16Do we come back?
00:28:21Maybe.
00:28:24Maybe is not a no.
00:28:27And since I don't have a phone,
00:28:29you're gonna have to give me your number.
00:28:32For cheap thrills and future crimes committed.
00:28:35No.
00:28:39Fair enough.
00:28:46I've got to go catch a fairy.
00:28:57Hey.
00:29:02Why do violists keep their viola cases on their dashboards?
00:29:16Why?
00:29:22So they can park in handicapped spots.
00:29:29Oh.
00:29:31Happy birthday.
00:29:48That's pretty well.
00:29:49Now where is she could drive around?
00:29:50Oh yes indeed.
00:29:51Yes!
00:29:52Of course she could.
00:29:56Yes.
00:30:00No problem.
00:30:02In the hall of the times,
00:30:05can you escape from the lifetime laden?
00:30:37I'm awake.
00:30:52Yeah, I've got so much of this stuff to get through.
00:30:56Got through.
00:30:58Nice.
00:31:03There are the great big events.
00:31:05The things you think you'll always remember, and you do, but there are other smaller.
00:31:11Picking a blackberry that's been in the sun, or brushing the fingertip of someone you didn't know you loved until you touched them.
00:31:20Nellie was this little collie who wouldn't go on a leash, so she had to sit on a bicycle seat.
00:31:25They stayed with me, too.
00:31:40Jane.
00:31:42Tony.
00:31:42I've got some pastry.
00:31:46I've got some pastries.
00:31:51You're still asleep?
00:31:54Jane.
00:31:54My friends had lots of American boyfriends.
00:32:22And they used to bring us nylon stockings and chocolates and all sorts of things.
00:32:27And we used to go to London.
00:32:29And we saw Glenn Miller one time.
00:32:33We used to go all over the place.
00:32:36They were wonderful times.
00:32:37I 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 mom 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?
00:33:00You 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.
00:33:11Not at all.
00:33:12Well, I felt nostalgia.
00:33:14Or something.
00:33:15For youth.
00:33:16You're not old, Jane.
00:33:18We ran out on the bill.
00:33:21You just ran out?
00:33:22What do you mean you ran out on the bill?
00:33:24Perhaps I'm not explaining it well.
00:33:25It was...
00:33:26It was fun.
00:33:29It was just fun.
00:33:41How was work?
00:33:43The conductor's actually a descendant of Walter Lake, which is fascinating.
00:33:48The three of us should plan a dinner before we leave.
00:33:51I'd like that.
00:33:53Jane?
00:33:59Oh my God.
00:34:01This is Caleb.
00:34:03Hi.
00:34:04No, no, we were just talking about you.
00:34:05We were?
00:34:06That's so weird.
00:34:07Sit, please.
00:34:08Sit down.
00:34:09Join us.
00:34:10What?
00:34:11Oh.
00:34:12You have a chance of a wreck.
00:34:14I know, right?
00:34:19I'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.
00:34:34Grab the check, please.
00:34:37In a cafe, play, play.
00:34:38Oh, no, thank you.
00:34:44Okay.
00:34:47Jane, you don't smoke.
00:34:51Yes, I do.
00:34:53Sometimes, at parties.
00:34:56You didn't know that.
00:34:58Well, I don't do it a lot.
00:34:59Italian 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.
00:35:18There's nothing like a good steak and kidney pie.
00:35:21I went to this party the other day in this villa owned by this old, drunk ex-pat.
00:35:27They had, like, a private chef and everything.
00:35:30And they were serving this, like, loaf of meat covered in sauce with all these other loaves.
00:35:36And this girl came over to me and said it was cat.
00:35:38No.
00:35:39No joke, like, a roasted mommy cat and her kittens.
00:35:44That is disgusting.
00:35:46True story.
00:35:51Why don't you tell Leonard one of your viola jokes?
00:35:58Come on.
00:35:59I'm selling my aunt.
00:36:02Come on.
00:36:03Let's hear one.
00:36:04I have one.
00:36:12What is the definition of perfect pitch?
00:36:17What?
00:36:20When 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.
00:36:28I did.
00:36:29Well, I'm impressed and I'm stealing it.
00:36:30You can pretty much make that joke about any instrument.
00:36:38Do 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'm going to get back to work.
00:36:50So, 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 Shantan Festival at the end of the summer.
00:37:10Yeah, I've heard about that.
00:37:11That's where the Buddhist monks unroll all the tapestries on the hill, right?
00:37:16The monks, the monks, the monks.
00:37:17So pretty.
00:37:18How do you support yourself?
00:37:21You know, a bit of this, a bit of that.
00:37:28Oh, all right then.
00:37:30I'll walk you.
00:37:32Does anybody have a pen?
00:37:33You got a pen?
00:37:34Yeah, I have a pen.
00:37:42Okay.
00:37:42Okay.
00:37:48I have a piece of paper.
00:37:50You guys should definitely come over to the island.
00:37:53I'll take you somewhere fun, you know.
00:37:55Don't knock on the front door.
00:37:56Come around the side.
00:37:57I need Regina.
00:38:05And thanks again for yesterday.
00:38:07Oh, no problem.
00:38:10Hey.
00:38:13Ciao.
00:38:13How stoned are you?
00:38:23Come on, man.
00:38:24We should tell him to pop.
00:38:24It's not a big deal.
00:38:27So you're saying you smoke back at her?
00:38:31Occasionally.
00:38:32Hey, can we do something fun tonight?
00:38:33Sure.
00:38:38I'm fine from here.
00:38:41Okay.
00:38:41See you after work.
00:38:42Yep.
00:38:43I'll be waiting.
00:38:43I'll be waiting.
00:38:43I'll be waiting.
00:39:14Hey.
00:39:15God, you scared me.
00:39:17Are you following me?
00:39:19Maybe.
00:39:20Is that weird?
00:39:22Yeah.
00:39:31I couldn't sleep last night.
00:39:36You 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.
00:39:45I came here.
00:39:47I'm here.
00:39:47I'm here.
00:39:47I'm here.
00:39:49I'm here, too.
00:39:52I don't know.
00:40:22What are we doing?
00:40:30I think we're making it out.
00:40:33So sexy and beautiful.
00:40:52I can't do this.
00:41:09What?
00:41:09What?
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.
00:41:40Don't follow me.
00:42:10Don't follow me.
00:42:40There was one boy from Belgium.
00:42:48He was lovely.
00:42:50He had a moustache.
00:42:52My mother hated moustaches.
00:42:54But 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.
00:43:08It wasn't love at first sight with grandpa.
00:43:12Love at first sight?
00:43:14Stop that thing.
00:43:15I met your grandfather not long after, and we got married, and we got married, and we got married, and we got married, and we got married, and we got married.
00:43:24We got married, and we got married, and we got married, and we got married.
00:43:33Yeah.
00:43:34Jane I'm sorry, just give me a minute. I have a hell of a rest of my day. I've got so much stuff to do.
00:43:44Sorry darling.
00:43:46Hey, do you still want to do something fun tonight?
00:43:49Yeah, absolutely. I've got some dinner. I thought we'd just stay in here. The two of us.
00:43:54I've just got to work this thing out for tomorrow.
00:43:57Okay.
00:43:58I'm sorry.
00:44:04I'm sorry.
00:44:10Okay.
00:44:18Yeah.
00:44:51Leonard, can we talk?
00:45:21Say cheese.
00:45:29No, you 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.
00:46:05What 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?
00:46:25What did you do?
00:46:27What did you do?
00:46:39What did you do?
00:46:41What did you do?
00:46:43You did?
00:46:45What did you do?
00:46:47What did you do?
00:46:51What did you do?

00:48:53ORCHESTRA PLAYS
00:48:56OH!
00:48:59HI!
00:49:01DID I WAKE YOU?
00:49:03NO
00:49:04I think I need to be less serious
00:49:08Yeah, I'm going to put my pants on.
00:49:15Okay.
00:49:38I'm going to put my pants on.
00:50:08I'm going to put my pants on.
00:50:38I'm going to put my pants on.
00:51:08I'm going to put my pants on.
00:51:38I'm going to put my pants on.
00:52:08I'm going to put my pants on.
00:52:38I'm going to put my pants on.
00:52:48Leonard thought you were lying about those cats.
00:52:51You said that?
00:52:53Were you?
00:52:57They were delicious.
00:53:01You made me feel nervous.
00:53:17You made me feel nervous.
00:53:19You made me feel calm.
00:53:23You made me feel calm.
00:53:35You made me feel calm.
00:53:47You made me feel calm.
00:53:49You made me feel calm.
00:53:51You made me feel calm.
00:54:03You made me feel calm.
00:54:07You made me feel calm.
00:54:09You made me feel calm.
00:54:14You made me feel calm.
00:54:17It must be lonely.
00:54:47It must be lonely.
00:55:17It must be lonely.
00:55:47It must be lonely.
00:56:17It must be lonely.
00:56:19It must be lonely.
00:56:21It must be lonely.
00:56:23It must be lonely.
00:56:25It must be lonely.
00:56:27It must be lonely.
00:56:29It must be lonely.
00:56:31It must be lonely.
00:56:33It must be lonely.
00:56:35It must be lonely.
00:56:37It must be lonely.
00:56:39I never tell you.
00:56:41to say to me I want to hear it. I've committed myself. People are depending on me. I have to go to work.
00:57:11If it wasn't the war, it would have been something else. There's always something else, isn't there?
00:57:33That's the thing. That's the thing about struggle.
00:57:36I'm going to make some tea. Do you want some?
00:57:51I'm all right.
00:57:57If you go out like that again, just tell me. Don't worry.
00:58:04Okay.
00:58:07I can't seem to figure out what's going on in your head.
00:58:12Do you think everything we've been through actually does us any good? In the long run?
00:58:17Or do we just make out struggle to be something meaningful because that's all most of us have?
00:58:54To get a proper kitchen.
00:59:04I don't know what you want me to say, Jane.
00:59:24If one little thing had changed in my grandmother's life, I might not be here.
00:59:39Sometimes I worry I'm not honoring her.
00:59:41With the book?
00:59:44No, with my life.
00:59:54This is it, you know.
00:59:56It ends with me.
00:59:58In the harvest time we all went to the field where they were cutting the corn.
01:00:11Everyone was chasing rabbits and then we had our tea in the harvest fields.
01:00:16The horses.
01:00:21Yeah.
01:00:27The horses back then, they were kept beautifully.
01:00:31Dad used to dress them all up.
01:00:33Brass 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?
01:00:45There was one.
01:00:47Duke.
01:00:49He was a Clydesdale I used to ride down to the marshes.
01:00:52Every night when he finished working.
01:00:59They were lovely days, really.
01:01:08They're gone. For me.
01:01:09Jane.
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.
01:01:51There are moments in my life that I would trade 60 years to have back again.
01:01:55That's the truth.
01:01:58You'll 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 for the first time.
01:02:09Sorry.
01:02:11Ah!
01:02:12Ah!
01:02:13What is it?
01:02:14Ah!
01:02:16Ah!
01:02:17Ah!
01:02:19Ah!
01:02:20You all right?
01:02:22Ah!
01:02:23You okay?
01:02:24Yeah, just on my toe.
01:02:26Ah!
01:02:27Ah!
01:02:28Ah!
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?
01:02:35Yes.
01:02:36Ah!
01:02:37Fuck.
01:02:38I 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.
01:02:56I want you to come with me.
01:02:59I want you to come with me.
01:03:26I want you to come with me.
01:03:32Oh!
01:03:34Ooh!
01:03:35I like them.
01:03:36Hi.
01:04:05Hi.
01:04:07How are you?
01:04:11Long day.
01:04:14God, when are they not?
01:04:18I don't think I'd jump to doing another stint like this.
01:04:24How's the writing going?
01:04:27I'm feeling inspired.
01:04:32It's fantastic.
01:04:35I think I've figured out the key to finishing the project.
01:04:39Are you listening?
01:04:45You found the key to finishing this project?
01:04:52Well, the water here tastes so funny.
01:05:00Have you ever cheated on me?
01:05:04Oh, Jane.
01:05:05Have you?
01:05:06Can we not?
01:05:08Have you?
01:05:11Absolutely not.
01:05:16Why did you take such a long time to answer that?
01:05:19Because I'm sick.
01:05:21Of what, Leonard?
01:05:23Of it being so hard?
01:05:26Yes.
01:05:27Tedious?
01:05:34I 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?
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.
01:06:06I 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.
01:06:27You'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.
01:06:36But...
01:06:40Say it.
01:06:41Jane.
01:06:42Say it.
01:06:45I can't have children, Leonard.
01:06:49I never will.
01:06:50And if we keep trying, they keep dying.
01:06:53Please, Jane.
01:06:54And again.
01:06:55And again.
01:06:56Please.
01:06:58How does that make you feel?
01:07:00How does it make you feel, Leonard?
01:07:01How does it make you feel?
01:07:02You will never be a father.
01:07:03We can adopt.
01:07:04That's not what you want.
01:07:05Is it?
01:07:06Is that what you want?
01:07:07Hmm?
01:07:08Because I think about it all the time.
01:07:09That the one thing you always wanted, I will never be able to give you.
01:07:10No.
01:07:11No.
01:07:12No.
01:07:13No.
01:07:14No.
01:07:15No.
01:07:16No.
01:07:17No.
01:07:18No.
01:07:19No.
01:07:20No.
01:07:21No.
01:07:22No.
01:07:23No.
01:07:24No.
01:07:25No.
01:07:26No.
01:07:27No.
01:07:28No.
01:07:29No.
01:07:30No.
01:07:31No.
01:07:32No.
01:07:33No.
01:07:34No.
01:07:35No.
01:07:36No.
01:07:37No.
01:07:38No.
01:07:39No.
01:07:40No.
01:07:41No.
01:07:42What are you trying to do, Jane?
01:07:43I just want to know that there's a reason for it all.
01:07:56You'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.
01:08:14I'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'm sorry.
01:09:08I'm sorry.
01:09:24For what?
01:09:24I'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.
01:09:30I'm 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.
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.
01:09:59Our 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.
01:10:17No questions asked.
01:10:19No guilt.
01:10:22This is good.
01:10:29I want you to do what you need to do.
01:10:59I want you to do what you need to do.
01:11:29Bye.
01:11:39Bye.
01:11:47Bye.
01:11:53Bye.
01:11:54Bye.
01:11:54Bye.
01:11:58Bye.
01:11:58You want some?
01:12:01Oh, thanks.
01:12:28Frank, 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.
01:12:58I'm thinking of driving through Romania and Ukraine and down through Russia and through
01:13:10Kazakhstan and then straight to Tibet.
01:14:08Ciao.
01:14:10Buena fortuna.
01:14:12Ciao.
01:14:14Bye.
01:14:16Bye.
01:14:18Bye.
01:14:20Bye.
01:14:22Bye.
01:14:24Bye.
01:14:26Bye.
01:14:40Jay, you've got to come over to this side, the train's going to be here in a minute.
01:15:08It's four in the morning, the end of December, I'm riding you now just to see if you're there.
01:15:37New York is cold, but I like where I'm living.
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.
01:16:02Are you living for nothing now?
01:16:06Hope 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.
01:16:44Let's go.
01:16:45Let's go.
