1
00:01:05,691 --> 00:01:08,109
-Look.
-Where?

2
00:01:08,277 --> 00:01:09,819
There.

3
00:01:12,072 --> 00:01:14,198
Yes. l think so.

4
00:01:21,290 --> 00:01:22,331
Hello.

5
00:01:23,292 --> 00:01:25,710
Are you a new student?

6
00:01:25,878 --> 00:01:28,755
-Yes.
-Good. We thought so.

7
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:30,298
We'd like to help you.

8
00:01:30,466 --> 00:01:33,426
Help me? What do you mean?

9
00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:36,596
As a freshman, it can be very tough.

10
00:01:36,764 --> 00:01:40,266
You get to college and it's supposed
to be great, but it's not.

11
00:01:40,434 --> 00:01:42,226
University life can be pretty bad.

12
00:01:42,394 --> 00:01:45,813
-There are a lot of suicides.
-Well, attempted ones.

13
00:01:45,981 --> 00:01:48,649
l'm not actually a freshman.
l'm a transfer student.

14
00:01:48,817 --> 00:01:52,153
-Oh, an entering sophomore?
-Yes.

15
00:01:52,321 --> 00:01:54,989
You were unhappy
and are looking to recover here.

16
00:01:55,157 --> 00:01:57,492
-Well, l think you will.
-Yes.

17
00:01:58,494 --> 00:02:02,079
Would you welcome that? Would our
help be something you'd appreciate?

18
00:02:02,247 --> 00:02:04,957
Or would you rather sink or swim
on your own?

19
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:09,212
-Either way is fine. We'll be friends.
-Yes, whichever you'd prefer.

20
00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:11,506
Yes. Sure.

21
00:02:11,673 --> 00:02:14,801
Great. We should start immediately.

22
00:02:14,968 --> 00:02:19,680
Clothes can be crucial for confidence
and an overall sense of well-being.

23
00:02:19,848 --> 00:02:23,726
-Clothes don't have to be expensive.
-You need friends of the same size.

24
00:02:23,894 --> 00:02:27,188
-You don't like my clothes?
-l'm just saying. Move it out.

25
00:02:27,356 --> 00:02:29,190
What? What's wrong?

26
00:02:32,194 --> 00:02:35,530
-What's wrong?
-You didn't notice that?

27
00:02:35,697 --> 00:02:38,991
-No. What?
-Those guys.

28
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:42,036
That smell. That awful, acrid odor.

29
00:02:44,373 --> 00:02:46,707
Have you heard
of nasal shock syndrome?

30
00:02:46,875 --> 00:02:51,337
Any harsh, acrid or just disgusting
odor sends Rose into nasal shock.

31
00:02:51,505 --> 00:02:53,214
Just from some BO?

32
00:02:54,383 --> 00:02:57,552
"Just some BO"? Oh, my God, Lily.

33
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:00,555
You must have
a very high threshold for pain.

34
00:03:00,722 --> 00:03:02,682
That'll serve you well
at Seven Oaks.

35
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:05,726
-What do you mean?
-Seven Oaks is notorious for its BO.

36
00:03:05,894 --> 00:03:08,354
lt was the last of the Select Seven
to go coed.

37
00:03:08,522 --> 00:03:11,065
An atmosphere
of male barbarism predominates...

38
00:03:11,233 --> 00:03:13,401
-...but we're going to change that.
-Yes.

39
00:03:13,569 --> 00:03:15,403
Where are you going?

40
00:03:15,571 --> 00:03:19,407
Gotta get to the Housing Department.
They lost my rooming assignment.

41
00:03:19,575 --> 00:03:22,118
That's terrible.
You have no place to stay?

42
00:03:22,286 --> 00:03:23,411
Was it just mislaid?

43
00:03:23,579 --> 00:03:26,539
No, there were more acceptances
than they anticipated...

44
00:03:26,707 --> 00:03:30,209
...and not enough rooms
to go around, so....

45
00:03:30,377 --> 00:03:31,919
Why don't you stay with us?

46
00:03:33,088 --> 00:03:34,255
Really?

47
00:03:39,553 --> 00:03:43,556
Don't think of this in the old-fashioned
sense of going to a party...

48
00:03:43,724 --> 00:03:46,726
...to find someone
or not find someone.

49
00:03:46,894 --> 00:03:49,395
That's not the dynamic
that we're talking about.

50
00:03:49,563 --> 00:03:52,315
-What dynamic are you talking about?
-Glad you asked.

51
00:03:52,482 --> 00:03:57,612
Our going to a party of this kind
is more a form of youth outreach.

52
00:03:57,779 --> 00:03:59,822
-Of what?
-Youth outreach.

53
00:03:59,990 --> 00:04:02,825
lt's not just some moronic
frat-house social function.

54
00:04:02,993 --> 00:04:04,452
Though it will be that too.

55
00:04:04,620 --> 00:04:08,497
We've gotta keep in mind
that these guys are young people.

56
00:04:08,665 --> 00:04:13,336
They're essentially immature
and crying out for help and guidance.

57
00:04:13,503 --> 00:04:16,464
-Though they don't know it.
-No, they don't, but we do.

58
00:04:16,632 --> 00:04:20,801
-Aren't they the same age as we are?
-Only numerically.

59
00:04:22,554 --> 00:04:25,640
l'm a lot fatter than you are,
but l think we could pin it.

60
00:04:25,807 --> 00:04:28,851
Oh, my gosh, that's beautiful.

61
00:04:29,811 --> 00:04:31,896
Stunning.

62
00:04:36,068 --> 00:04:37,985
Take Frank, my friend.

63
00:04:38,153 --> 00:04:41,697
He's not some cool, handsome,
studly macho type.

64
00:04:41,865 --> 00:04:45,368
No, not at all.
l can't stand guys like that.

65
00:04:45,535 --> 00:04:48,287
He's more of a sad sack really,
wouldn't you say?

66
00:04:48,455 --> 00:04:51,374
-Definitely.
-What is a sad sack?

67
00:04:51,541 --> 00:04:52,583
A loser.

68
00:04:52,751 --> 00:04:55,252
-You like losers?
-Very much so.

69
00:04:55,420 --> 00:04:58,214
Do you know what's the major problem
in social life?

70
00:04:58,382 --> 00:04:59,423
What?

71
00:04:59,591 --> 00:05:03,427
The tendency, widespread, to always
seek someone cooler than yourself.

72
00:05:03,595 --> 00:05:05,930
lt's always a stretch.
Often a big stretch.

73
00:05:06,098 --> 00:05:08,140
Why not find someone
who's inferior?

74
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:11,185
-Someone like Frank.
-Yes. lt's more rewarding.

75
00:05:11,353 --> 00:05:14,105
And, in fact, quite reassuring.

76
00:05:14,272 --> 00:05:17,483
You mean someone you can help,
not just thinking of yourself.

77
00:05:17,651 --> 00:05:22,238
Yes, that's it, precisely. But without
the goody-goody implications.

78
00:05:22,406 --> 00:05:24,490
Our aspirations are pretty basic.

79
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:27,410
Take a guy who hasn't realized
his full potential...

80
00:05:27,577 --> 00:05:29,203
...or doesn't even have much...

81
00:05:29,371 --> 00:05:33,332
...and then help him realize it
or find more.

82
00:05:36,628 --> 00:05:40,715
There's enough material here
for a lifetime of social work.

83
00:05:43,969 --> 00:05:49,140
What's really worrisome
is that that was intentional.

84
00:05:55,772 --> 00:05:56,897
Frank.

85
00:05:58,692 --> 00:06:00,693
Frank, this is Lily.

86
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:04,697
She's just come to Seven Oaks
as a transfer student. lsn't she great?

87
00:06:04,865 --> 00:06:07,283
Lily failed
or wasn't happy at her last school.

88
00:06:07,451 --> 00:06:09,618
We're sure that she's going
to adapt here.

89
00:06:09,786 --> 00:06:12,121
-ln fact, she already has.
-Oh, good.

90
00:06:12,873 --> 00:06:15,583
Oh, my God. A golden oldie.

91
00:06:16,084 --> 00:06:18,252
l love these.

92
00:07:07,135 --> 00:07:10,930
-Oh, my gosh. Wasn't that great?
-That was really fun.

93
00:07:11,098 --> 00:07:14,475
l know that people can have
useful careers in many areas.

94
00:07:14,643 --> 00:07:17,478
Medicine, government, law, finance.

95
00:07:17,646 --> 00:07:19,480
-Education.
-Yes, even education.

96
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:23,192
But l'd like to do something
especially significant in my lifetime.

97
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,778
That could change the course
of human history.

98
00:07:25,946 --> 00:07:28,489
-Such as starting a new dance craze.
-Really?

99
00:07:28,657 --> 00:07:31,033
Yes. Something that could
improve the lives...

100
00:07:31,201 --> 00:07:33,160
...of every person and every couple.

101
00:07:37,707 --> 00:07:40,709
l'm so proud
of what you accomplished last night.

102
00:07:40,877 --> 00:07:43,212
You showed those guys
a really good time.

103
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:46,841
Without anything really bad
happening. That's good.

104
00:07:47,008 --> 00:07:49,677
The guys you know,
are they all Greeks?

105
00:07:49,845 --> 00:07:52,638
-What?
-Are all the guys you know Greeks?

106
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:54,598
Excuse me. l don't understand.

107
00:07:54,766 --> 00:08:00,354
Are all the guys you know Greeks?

108
00:08:01,356 --> 00:08:04,984
-l don't think we know any Greeks.
-Greeks, like frat boys.

109
00:08:05,152 --> 00:08:06,402
Oh, yes. Fraternities.

110
00:08:06,570 --> 00:08:09,196
You mean members
of the Greek-letter fraternities.

111
00:08:09,364 --> 00:08:10,865
Yeah. Like last night.

112
00:08:11,032 --> 00:08:14,326
Actually, last night
we were at the DU house. DU.

113
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:15,953
Roman letters. Not Greek.

114
00:08:16,121 --> 00:08:19,165
Seven Oaks has never had
a Greek-letter fraternity system.

115
00:08:19,332 --> 00:08:21,876
lt's always been
a Roman-letter system here.

116
00:08:22,043 --> 00:08:24,211
lt's very different.

117
00:08:27,257 --> 00:08:30,926
-What house is this?
-Oh, this isn't a fraternity.

118
00:08:31,094 --> 00:08:33,762
At least not one anyone
should want to join.

119
00:08:33,930 --> 00:08:38,058
You probably think we're frivolous,
empty-headed college coeds.

120
00:08:38,226 --> 00:08:40,769
You're probably right.
l often feel empty-headed.

121
00:08:40,937 --> 00:08:43,647
We're trying to make a difference
in people's lives.

122
00:08:43,815 --> 00:08:46,942
One way to do that is to stop them
from killing themselves.

123
00:08:48,612 --> 00:08:51,739
Have you ever heard of
"Prevention is nine-tenths the cure"?

124
00:08:51,907 --> 00:08:55,242
Well, in the case of suicide,
it's actually 1 0-tenths the cure.

125
00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:58,829
-Those are clichés, aren't they?
-Yes, they are.

126
00:08:59,414 --> 00:09:03,209
lt's interesting you say that. l love
clichés and hackneyed expressions.

127
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:05,002
-Do you know why?
-No.

128
00:09:05,170 --> 00:09:06,754
Because they're largely true.

129
00:09:06,922 --> 00:09:09,089
The hundreds,
perhaps thousands...

130
00:09:09,257 --> 00:09:11,675
...of such clichés
and hackneyed expressions...

131
00:09:11,843 --> 00:09:14,011
...that our language
has bequeathed us...

132
00:09:14,179 --> 00:09:17,723
...are a stunning treasure trove
of human insight and knowledge.

133
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:20,601
-Really?
-Yes. Oh, please sit down.

134
00:09:21,019 --> 00:09:23,020
During these formative
college years...

135
00:09:23,188 --> 00:09:26,857
...we should learn as many clichéd
and hackneyed thoughts as possible.

136
00:09:27,025 --> 00:09:28,567
Furthermore, l think we will.

137
00:09:28,735 --> 00:09:32,738
Speaking of suicide prevention,
do you have a boyfriend, Lily?

138
00:09:32,906 --> 00:09:35,699
-Are you dating anyone?
-l don't see the connection.

139
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:39,161
-You don't?
-Boyfriends are a primary suicide risk.

140
00:09:39,329 --> 00:09:42,122
You don't have
any particular friend?

141
00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:44,208
No one at all?

142
00:09:44,376 --> 00:09:48,337
No. Well, there's this grad student
l met over summer.

143
00:09:48,505 --> 00:09:52,841
Xavier.
We became pretty good pals.

144
00:09:53,009 --> 00:09:56,720
He has a girlfriend whom l've met.
She's very nice.

145
00:09:56,888 --> 00:09:58,472
"Zavier." With a Z?

146
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,392
-No, l think it's with an X.
-No, l'm certain it's Z.

147
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,187
Zavier, like Zorro.
lt's the same sound.

148
00:10:05,355 --> 00:10:07,856
Zorro marked his name with a Z.

149
00:10:08,775 --> 00:10:10,526
lt's an X.

150
00:10:10,694 --> 00:10:12,611
But Zorro's with a Z.

151
00:10:12,779 --> 00:10:14,947
Okay, let me see
if l can figure this out.

152
00:10:15,115 --> 00:10:21,078
Used at the beginning of a name,
Z and X have the same pronunciation.

153
00:10:21,246 --> 00:10:25,040
-But it's Zorro with a Z.
-Actually, there were two Zorros.

154
00:10:25,208 --> 00:10:29,336
One spelled his name with a Z
and made a Z mark for Zorro.

155
00:10:29,504 --> 00:10:32,464
And there's Xorro
who spelled his name with an X...

156
00:10:32,632 --> 00:10:34,967
...and with his sword
he'd make an X mark.

157
00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:38,554
What was really unfair was
because he marked his name with X...

158
00:10:38,722 --> 00:10:40,848
...everybody assumed
he was illiterate...

159
00:10:41,474 --> 00:10:43,267
...when he was spelling correctly.

160
00:10:43,435 --> 00:10:44,685
-Hello.
-Can we help you?

161
00:10:44,853 --> 00:10:47,354
Of course we can.
No case is too challenging.

162
00:10:47,522 --> 00:10:49,273
-Would you like a doughnut?
-Okay.

163
00:10:49,441 --> 00:10:50,482
Please, sit down.

164
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:52,693
-Here, have some coffee.
-Thank you.

165
00:10:52,861 --> 00:10:54,320
-What's your name?
-Jim Bose.

166
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:57,031
-But my friends call me Jimbo.
-Why?

167
00:10:57,407 --> 00:10:59,825
-What?
-Why do your friends call you Jimbo?

168
00:10:59,993 --> 00:11:04,330
Well, it's a contraction of Jim and
the first part of my last name, Bose.

169
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:06,540
Yeah, l got that. But why bother?

170
00:11:06,708 --> 00:11:09,710
-What do you mean?
-Jim is already a lovely name.

171
00:11:09,878 --> 00:11:11,879
lt's short, simple, evocative.

172
00:11:12,047 --> 00:11:14,965
Shouldn't a nickname
simplify the name that it replaces?

173
00:11:15,133 --> 00:11:17,217
Jimbo doesn't really
simplify anything.

174
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:18,677
l don't know.

175
00:11:18,845 --> 00:11:21,180
Well, maybe you should ask
your friends.

176
00:11:21,931 --> 00:11:23,557
Where do you live or reside?

177
00:11:23,725 --> 00:11:25,726
Doar Dorm.

178
00:11:25,894 --> 00:11:27,269
-Oh, my God. Yuck.
-What?

179
00:11:27,979 --> 00:11:30,439
-The smell, it's notorious.
-What smell?

180
00:11:31,149 --> 00:11:35,486
You're right, it's more like a stink.
Unclean clothing, l'd say, mostly.

181
00:11:35,653 --> 00:11:37,237
-Vomit.
-Stale beer.

182
00:11:37,405 --> 00:11:40,449
Pot. Cheap deodorant.
There might be a vermin infestation.

183
00:11:40,617 --> 00:11:42,868
Did you know
a good-smelling environment...

184
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:45,162
...is crucial to our sense
of well-being?

185
00:11:45,330 --> 00:11:47,915
Have you tried to find
a better-smelling place?

186
00:11:48,083 --> 00:11:51,001
Wait, wait.
lt's not me, l'm not depressed.

187
00:11:52,337 --> 00:11:53,629
-You're not?
-No.

188
00:11:55,256 --> 00:11:57,424
Are you sure?
You kind of seem on edge.

189
00:11:57,592 --> 00:12:01,428
-No, l'm fine.
-That's a terrible expression. "Fine."

190
00:12:01,596 --> 00:12:03,055
"l'm fine."

191
00:12:03,264 --> 00:12:07,393
Something smug about it. "l'm fine."

192
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:11,397
-Why do you say that you're fine?
-l'm not depressed. l'm not suicidal.

193
00:12:13,983 --> 00:12:16,276
Why are you here, then?
Are you a con man?

194
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:18,862
-A confidence trickster?
-No, there's a girl.

195
00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:22,116
Her boyfriend dumped her.
She was crying but now is silent.

196
00:12:22,283 --> 00:12:24,159
Oh, my God.
Why didn't you say so?

197
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:29,164
We have to go. Call the cops!
A suicide might be in progress!

198
00:12:29,332 --> 00:12:32,292
-The campus cops?
-Yes, of course the campus cops.

199
00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:33,710
Take this.

200
00:12:33,878 --> 00:12:36,755
We have a lot of students
coming to the center...

201
00:12:36,923 --> 00:12:39,341
...pretending to be depressed
to get doughnuts.

202
00:12:39,509 --> 00:12:42,970
-Confidence tricksters.
-Yes, it's really bad. Really cynical.

203
00:12:43,138 --> 00:12:45,055
We pledged
to the doughnut company...

204
00:12:45,223 --> 00:12:48,809
...we would only give doughnuts
to students who were depressed...

205
00:12:48,977 --> 00:12:50,352
...or otherwise nutty.

206
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,814
We're a nonprofit,
so the rules are pretty strict.

207
00:12:53,982 --> 00:12:57,818
-This man could still be a trickster.
-Well, we'll soon find out.

208
00:12:57,986 --> 00:12:59,278
Tell me about this girl.

209
00:12:59,446 --> 00:13:01,947
Well, her name is Priss.
She's very pretty.

210
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:07,661
Oh, yes. lt's very hard for beautiful
women to experience rejection.

211
00:13:09,914 --> 00:13:13,750
Priss? Priss. Are you okay?

212
00:13:13,918 --> 00:13:17,671
Priss! Priss, say something!

213
00:13:18,923 --> 00:13:21,675
Priss! Open up!

214
00:13:23,553 --> 00:13:27,723
Oh, thank God.
We're gonna have to force this door.

215
00:13:28,766 --> 00:13:30,851
Priss? Are you okay?

216
00:13:33,563 --> 00:13:37,483
-What?
-Please don't. Please, come with us.

217
00:13:47,452 --> 00:13:49,953
Do you wanna talk about it?

218
00:13:50,121 --> 00:13:52,289
What was his name?

219
00:13:52,457 --> 00:13:54,124
Josh.

220
00:13:55,543 --> 00:13:57,753
lf you'd rather not talk,
we don't have to.

221
00:13:57,921 --> 00:14:00,214
No, it's okay, l just....

222
00:14:00,381 --> 00:14:05,594
l keep thinking how he used to gaze
at me with such love in his eyes.

223
00:14:05,762 --> 00:14:07,554
You know what l mean?

224
00:14:11,809 --> 00:14:14,394
No. No, l've never
actually seen that.

225
00:14:15,146 --> 00:14:19,149
Yes. Just days ago,
he'd gaze at me.

226
00:14:19,317 --> 00:14:22,277
His eyes, so blue.

227
00:14:23,071 --> 00:14:25,072
He had blue eyes?

228
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,824
So does Frank.
Frank's the guy that l go out with.

229
00:14:27,992 --> 00:14:32,454
Otherwise, he's not conventionally
good-looking, which l actually prefer.

230
00:14:33,498 --> 00:14:37,167
Would you describe Josh
as handsome?

231
00:14:37,835 --> 00:14:41,088
-That's a problem.
-Could l join you guys?

232
00:14:41,923 --> 00:14:46,593
Yes, please.
Priss and l were just talking.

233
00:14:46,761 --> 00:14:50,097
ln my view,
handsome men are to be avoided.

234
00:14:50,265 --> 00:14:53,308
l don't even consider good looks
to be flattering in a man.

235
00:14:53,476 --> 00:14:56,270
-Do you know what l mean?
-No.

236
00:14:58,898 --> 00:15:03,402
Cookie-cutter, good-looking guys,
with their chiseled features...

237
00:15:03,570 --> 00:15:05,612
...running around,
full of themselves...

238
00:15:05,780 --> 00:15:09,283
...getting everything they want,
never suffering or experiencing--

239
00:15:09,450 --> 00:15:10,993
We suffered?

240
00:15:11,995 --> 00:15:16,456
We're not under discussion. That's
irrelevant. That's besides the point.

241
00:15:17,959 --> 00:15:22,421
-ls this making you feel any better?
-Yes. l think so.

242
00:15:22,964 --> 00:15:24,339
Good. l hoped it would.

243
00:15:28,219 --> 00:15:32,389
Okay, it's nearly 4 and The Daily
Complainer's orientation meeting...

244
00:15:32,557 --> 00:15:35,142
...is about to start
and l think we should go.

245
00:15:35,310 --> 00:15:38,353
The editor, Rick DeWolfe,
he's terrible. A real jerk.

246
00:15:38,521 --> 00:15:40,647
Why do you think he's such a jerk?

247
00:15:41,232 --> 00:15:43,817
He's one of those
that l was talking about. Tall.

248
00:15:43,985 --> 00:15:47,321
Probably considers himself
very smart and handsome.

249
00:15:47,488 --> 00:15:51,742
A journalist, so you can imagine the
mindboggling arrogance and conceit.

250
00:15:51,909 --> 00:15:56,580
-But, Violet, don't you think--?
-What?

251
00:15:56,748 --> 00:16:01,168
Well, don't you think that the way you
talk could be considered arrogant too?

252
00:16:01,336 --> 00:16:03,003
l mean, a little?

253
00:16:03,171 --> 00:16:06,256
Yes, of course.
But what's your point?

254
00:16:06,424 --> 00:16:09,009
Wouldn't that be hypocritical,
criticizing Rick...

255
00:16:09,177 --> 00:16:12,012
...for something
you could be criticized for yourself?

256
00:16:12,180 --> 00:16:15,974
No. l don't see why.
We're all flawed.

257
00:16:16,142 --> 00:16:19,102
Must that render us mute
to the flaws of others?

258
00:16:19,270 --> 00:16:21,396
Must we tether ourselves
from comment...

259
00:16:21,564 --> 00:16:24,566
...because our natures
are human too?

260
00:16:26,194 --> 00:16:28,278
We've got a rebel amongst us.

261
00:16:28,446 --> 00:16:31,782
That's good, l think. lt's good
to be challenged and criticized.

262
00:16:31,949 --> 00:16:34,368
l know your intentions are good,
it's just--

263
00:16:34,535 --> 00:16:37,829
That's it precisely.
Our intentions are good.

264
00:16:37,997 --> 00:16:41,041
We're seeking to help people
rescue their lives...

265
00:16:41,209 --> 00:16:43,960
...from terrible sadness and failure...

266
00:16:44,128 --> 00:16:46,380
...which is a worthy goal,
don't you think?

267
00:16:46,547 --> 00:16:49,966
Yes. But not exactly a humble one.

268
00:16:50,259 --> 00:16:51,968
No.

269
00:16:52,136 --> 00:16:55,222
l agree with you there.
You're right, absolutely.

270
00:16:55,390 --> 00:16:58,058
l'd like to thank you
for this chastisement.

271
00:16:58,226 --> 00:17:01,478
-l'm sorry, l didn't mean to chastise.
-No, l think you did...

272
00:17:01,646 --> 00:17:03,063
...and l think it's good.

273
00:17:03,231 --> 00:17:04,731
lt's good to have a friend...

274
00:17:04,899 --> 00:17:07,859
...to put one in one's place
when that's what one needs.

275
00:17:08,027 --> 00:17:10,779
Now l see that l have
that kind of friend in you.

276
00:17:10,947 --> 00:17:12,948
l think that's great.

277
00:17:18,162 --> 00:17:20,497
Hello, people. Listen up.

278
00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:25,585
People, quiet. Quiet, people.
Shut up!

279
00:17:27,755 --> 00:17:31,258
Okay, that's better. l'm Rick DeWolfe,
editor of The Complainer.

280
00:17:31,426 --> 00:17:35,429
Over the next weeks, l'm the person
you're gonna hate most in the world.

281
00:17:35,596 --> 00:17:38,473
You're gonna hate me because
l'm gonna work you...

282
00:17:38,641 --> 00:17:41,518
...point out your stupidity
and incompetence...

283
00:17:41,686 --> 00:17:45,856
...and do everything in my power
to turn you into journalists.

284
00:17:46,023 --> 00:17:49,067
-Albeit barely literate ones.
-Oh, brother.

285
00:17:52,363 --> 00:17:54,448
Any questions?

286
00:17:54,615 --> 00:17:55,657
No?

287
00:17:55,825 --> 00:17:58,577
Yes. How did The Daily Complainer
get its name?

288
00:18:00,538 --> 00:18:02,789
lsn't that pretty obvious?

289
00:18:04,125 --> 00:18:08,295
lt comes out every day
and it's the university daily.

290
00:18:08,463 --> 00:18:12,299
So The Daily Complainer.

291
00:18:12,467 --> 00:18:14,259
-The Daily--
-No, l meant--

292
00:18:14,427 --> 00:18:16,636
Oh, you mean,
why The Complainer?

293
00:18:16,804 --> 00:18:20,307
The name dates from Seven Oaks'
earliest days as a divinity school.

294
00:18:20,475 --> 00:18:24,144
The reference is to the Book of Job.
Job's complaint with the world.

295
00:18:24,312 --> 00:18:27,814
Before justice can be achieved,
a complaint must be made.

296
00:18:27,982 --> 00:18:30,692
That is what we do
and people don't like it a bit.

297
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,402
Right now, what that means...

298
00:18:32,570 --> 00:18:36,281
...is extirpating Seven Oaks'
elitist Roman Letter Clubs...

299
00:18:36,449 --> 00:18:38,992
...that are like a cancer
on the community.

300
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,203
They're not elitist in the least.

301
00:18:41,913 --> 00:18:43,330
Yes, they are.

302
00:18:43,498 --> 00:18:47,209
Have you met any of their members?
The guys from the DU, for example?

303
00:18:47,376 --> 00:18:50,337
They're barely competent
for the tasks of everyday life.

304
00:18:50,505 --> 00:18:53,799
They have to drink a quart of beer
just to talk to a woman?

305
00:18:53,966 --> 00:18:56,426
-Two quarts.
-Yet you salivate at the idea...

306
00:18:56,594 --> 00:19:00,347
...of taking the roof off their heads
and throwing them on the street...

307
00:19:00,515 --> 00:19:04,142
...where who knows what would
happen. You call yourself a Christian.

308
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:07,646
-No, l don't.
-What unkindness and cruelty.

309
00:19:07,814 --> 00:19:11,691
This is the darkness in the heart
of man, which Joseph Conrad...

310
00:19:11,859 --> 00:19:13,485
...wrote about most eloquently.

311
00:19:14,612 --> 00:19:16,571
-He was actually Polish.
-Oh, my God.

312
00:19:16,739 --> 00:19:19,908
Unkind, self-righteous
and pedantic.

313
00:19:20,076 --> 00:19:22,828
ln short, a model journalist.

314
00:19:22,995 --> 00:19:25,247
You should know something
about these girls.

315
00:19:25,414 --> 00:19:29,376
They run the suicide center where
their preferred therapy for depressed...

316
00:19:29,544 --> 00:19:32,337
...and suicidal people is...

317
00:19:32,964 --> 00:19:34,005
...tap dancing.

318
00:19:36,551 --> 00:19:41,388
-l kid you not.
-Tap is a highly effective therapy...

319
00:19:41,556 --> 00:19:44,224
...as well as a dazzlingly
expressive dance form...

320
00:19:44,392 --> 00:19:47,352
...that has been sadly neglected
for too many years.

321
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,855
lt's moronic and barbaric.

322
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:52,732
You expect tap dancing
to solve people's problems?

323
00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:54,568
No, we don't.

324
00:19:54,735 --> 00:19:57,737
We're using the whole range
of musical dance numbers...

325
00:19:57,905 --> 00:20:01,116
...which have proven themselves
to be effective therapies...

326
00:20:01,284 --> 00:20:04,077
...for the suicidal
and the hopelessly depressed.

327
00:20:09,166 --> 00:20:11,418
That really got me down.

328
00:20:11,586 --> 00:20:16,590
-l thought you handled it well.
-You did? Thanks.

329
00:20:17,258 --> 00:20:20,927
No, it's all this aggression
and hostility that gets me down.

330
00:20:21,095 --> 00:20:26,057
Not just his but also my own.
lt leaves you feeling unclean.

331
00:20:26,225 --> 00:20:29,477
Have you thought of taking a shower?
Maybe you'd feel better.

332
00:20:29,645 --> 00:20:32,981
You're probably right.
No, there's something else.

333
00:20:33,149 --> 00:20:36,651
What Lily was saying about me
being conceited and arrogant.

334
00:20:36,819 --> 00:20:40,113
-l'm sorry.
-No, l think you're right.

335
00:20:40,281 --> 00:20:41,948
l'm really ashamed.

336
00:20:42,909 --> 00:20:45,785
-You're joking.
-No, it's terrible how l've acted.

337
00:20:45,953 --> 00:20:47,621
We're all Christians.

338
00:20:47,788 --> 00:20:51,958
Or l should say Judeo-Christians.

339
00:20:52,376 --> 00:20:56,880
Humility should be our watchword.
The essence of being a good person.

340
00:20:57,048 --> 00:20:59,257
Humility comes from within.

341
00:20:59,425 --> 00:21:02,761
lf it's not there in the first place,
where do you go to get it?

342
00:21:02,929 --> 00:21:05,430
l stopped looking a long time ago.

343
00:21:15,816 --> 00:21:17,984
Very good, Freak.

344
00:21:18,152 --> 00:21:21,196
-You really think so?
-Yes. Certainly.

345
00:21:24,408 --> 00:21:27,160
-Five, six, seven, eight.
-Violet.

346
00:21:28,746 --> 00:21:30,872
ls it such a good idea
to call him Freak?

347
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,666
What?

348
00:21:32,833 --> 00:21:35,502
He's already depressed
and you're calling him Freak.

349
00:21:35,670 --> 00:21:39,547
That's his name. Freak. Freak Astaire.
That's how he wants to be called.

350
00:21:39,715 --> 00:21:41,716
What are you talking about?

351
00:21:41,884 --> 00:21:44,344
Lily was just saying
she likes your dancing.

352
00:21:48,265 --> 00:21:50,183
Five, six, seven, eight.

353
00:21:57,984 --> 00:21:59,401
Are you okay?

354
00:21:59,568 --> 00:22:01,194
What do you mean?

355
00:22:01,362 --> 00:22:03,697
l thought you looked sad
and was wondering...

356
00:22:03,864 --> 00:22:07,075
-...if there was anything we could do.
-What could you do?

357
00:22:07,243 --> 00:22:08,284
Oh, l know.

358
00:22:08,452 --> 00:22:11,579
You think l'm gonna kill myself
and make you look bad.

359
00:22:11,747 --> 00:22:15,750
No, l'm worried that you'll kill yourself
and make yourself look bad.

360
00:22:15,918 --> 00:22:19,254
Do you have any idea
how demoralizing it is...

361
00:22:19,422 --> 00:22:23,174
...to be constantly questioned
about whether you're suicidal or not?

362
00:22:23,342 --> 00:22:24,384
No.

363
00:22:24,552 --> 00:22:27,679
After a while, you wonder,
why is everyone asking me this?

364
00:22:27,847 --> 00:22:29,305
They want me to be suicidal?

365
00:22:29,473 --> 00:22:32,350
Or is it just the consequence
of your utter absurdity?

366
00:22:32,518 --> 00:22:33,768
Excuse me.

367
00:22:33,936 --> 00:22:35,687
What scent are you wearing?

368
00:22:35,855 --> 00:22:38,857
-What are you talking about?
-The perfume you're wearing.

369
00:22:39,025 --> 00:22:41,359
l'm not wearing any perfume!

370
00:22:42,153 --> 00:22:45,155
You see, that could be the problem.

371
00:22:47,199 --> 00:22:49,492
-l've become friends with a group.
-Really?

372
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:53,913
-Although they're perfume-obsessed.
-Oh, them? Those girls?

373
00:22:54,665 --> 00:22:56,583
The ones who volunteer
at the center?

374
00:22:56,751 --> 00:22:58,209
-Yeah.
-But they're terrible.

375
00:22:58,377 --> 00:23:00,295
The blond one? She's notorious.

376
00:23:00,463 --> 00:23:03,256
-What do you mean?
-Such a bitch. Terrible, isn't she?

377
00:23:03,424 --> 00:23:05,592
-Would balsamic be okay?
-What?

378
00:23:06,343 --> 00:23:09,095
Balsamic vinegar. For the dressing.

379
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,931
Yeah, sure.

380
00:23:16,353 --> 00:23:18,104
-What's that?
-What?

381
00:23:18,272 --> 00:23:20,815
-Those.
-Artichokes?

382
00:23:20,983 --> 00:23:23,109
ls that what they look like?

383
00:23:23,277 --> 00:23:26,196
Come on, Lily.
You've seen an artichoke before.

384
00:23:27,031 --> 00:23:29,783
-You haven't?
-They look so weird.

385
00:23:35,915 --> 00:23:39,334
l'm not convinced that having
a suicide-prevention center...

386
00:23:39,502 --> 00:23:41,878
...prevents any suicides.

387
00:23:42,046 --> 00:23:43,963
Well, the coffee's good.

388
00:23:44,131 --> 00:23:47,050
lf someone were determined
to destroy themselves...

389
00:23:47,218 --> 00:23:51,262
-...l don't think they'd stop for coffee.
-lt depends on what it tastes like.

390
00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:54,766
-Where are we going?
-l thought l'd take Priss over to DU.

391
00:23:54,934 --> 00:23:55,975
Why?

392
00:23:56,143 --> 00:23:58,895
lt might be helpful
for her to meet some of the guys.

393
00:23:59,063 --> 00:24:01,231
How would that be helpful?
They're morons.

394
00:24:01,398 --> 00:24:03,483
-Oh, come on, Lily.
-No, they're morons.

395
00:24:03,651 --> 00:24:07,070
No. Not medically. l like them.

396
00:24:07,238 --> 00:24:10,490
They're in that sympathetic range
of being not good-looking...

397
00:24:10,658 --> 00:24:14,035
...and yet not smart.
There's something likable about that.

398
00:24:14,203 --> 00:24:18,331
Spending time with them, you get the
sense that you're making a difference.

399
00:24:18,499 --> 00:24:21,709
For somebody suicidal, like Priss,
that could be a real boost.

400
00:24:21,877 --> 00:24:24,712
-l'm not suicidal.
-Oh, that's good.

401
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:30,343
lt's better not to have an identity
as a suicidal person, don't you think?

402
00:24:31,345 --> 00:24:34,514
-Well, bye.
-Well....

403
00:24:35,182 --> 00:24:37,684
-Where are you going?
-Over to Xavier's.

404
00:24:38,435 --> 00:24:41,020
-ls that a good idea?
-Why wouldn't it be?

405
00:24:41,188 --> 00:24:44,649
-ls his girlfriend gonna be there?
-Of course.

406
00:24:44,817 --> 00:24:48,820
-Gosh, you're nosy.
-No, no, it's just a general foreboding.

407
00:24:48,988 --> 00:24:50,989
"Foreboding"?

408
00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:57,036
You know, you're absolutely right.
l was being nosy.

409
00:24:57,204 --> 00:24:59,414
Terribly so.

410
00:24:59,790 --> 00:25:03,084
-l've gotta watch that.
-Yes, we must improve ourselves.

411
00:25:04,128 --> 00:25:06,838
-Bye.
-Bye.

412
00:25:07,006 --> 00:25:08,214
Bye.

413
00:25:16,140 --> 00:25:17,807
Lily.

414
00:25:18,309 --> 00:25:22,145
-You were coming over?
-Hey. Yeah. ls Alice home?

415
00:25:22,313 --> 00:25:24,105
Alice is working.

416
00:25:24,273 --> 00:25:26,191
-Oh, she is?
-But it's not a problem.

417
00:25:26,358 --> 00:25:27,400
lt's good you came.

418
00:25:27,568 --> 00:25:30,236
Let's go to the Oak Bar.
l'll buy you a beer.

419
00:25:30,404 --> 00:25:34,073
-l thought Alice would be back.
-l'll call her. She'll join us there.

420
00:25:34,992 --> 00:25:36,659
Come on.

421
00:25:36,827 --> 00:25:37,869
Okay.

422
00:25:38,037 --> 00:25:39,913
She's actually quite a good person.

423
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,082
Her entire identity
revolves around helping people.

424
00:25:43,250 --> 00:25:45,210
You really think that's true?

425
00:25:45,377 --> 00:25:48,588
What's she have against
The Complainer? That's bizarre.

426
00:25:48,756 --> 00:25:52,592
Well, she thinks the editor, Rick
DeWolfe, is completely egotistical.

427
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,260
And your friend isn't?

428
00:25:54,428 --> 00:25:55,762
-Hi.
-Hi.

429
00:25:55,930 --> 00:25:56,971
-Hi, Lily.
-Hi.

430
00:25:57,139 --> 00:25:59,140
-Great. You got the message.
-Yeah.

431
00:26:00,935 --> 00:26:02,936
-Who's egotistical?
-Lily's roommate.

432
00:26:03,103 --> 00:26:06,648
She sounds unbearable. She's on
a rampage against The Complainer.

433
00:26:06,815 --> 00:26:07,899
Really? Why?

434
00:26:08,067 --> 00:26:11,778
She thinks the editor,
Rick DeWolfe, is conceited.

435
00:26:11,946 --> 00:26:14,614
-And, in fact, quite mean.
-Mean?

436
00:26:14,782 --> 00:26:17,784
Yes. He wants to close
the Seven Oaks Roman Letter Clubs.

437
00:26:17,952 --> 00:26:20,662
That's good, isn't it?
Everyone was against them.

438
00:26:20,829 --> 00:26:22,580
-No.
-Come on.

439
00:26:22,748 --> 00:26:25,166
There's no justification
for those places.

440
00:26:25,334 --> 00:26:27,252
They're exclusive and elitist.

441
00:26:27,419 --> 00:26:31,089
The point that Violet makes
is that they can't be elitist.

442
00:26:31,257 --> 00:26:34,300
-They're morons.
-Yeah, elitist morons.

443
00:26:34,468 --> 00:26:36,928
You'll grant they're morons.
That's a handicap.

444
00:26:37,096 --> 00:26:41,599
Such people should be helped,
not hounded and persecuted.

445
00:26:41,767 --> 00:26:44,936
-Persecuted?
-Yes, losing the roof over your head?

446
00:26:45,104 --> 00:26:47,355
That's the worst thing
that can happen.

447
00:26:47,523 --> 00:26:50,275
Violet thinks there could be
some risk of suicide.

448
00:26:50,442 --> 00:26:54,487
Because some boy might kill himself,
Seven Oaks can't do what's right?

449
00:26:54,655 --> 00:26:56,739
lt's a factor to be considered.

450
00:26:56,907 --> 00:26:59,409
-Yeah.
-No, it isn't.

451
00:26:59,576 --> 00:27:01,202
You can't set policy that way.

452
00:27:01,912 --> 00:27:06,916
-Excuse me, we didn't order these.
-Compliments of the guy at the bar.

453
00:27:11,588 --> 00:27:16,426
That's a playboy or operator move.
Operators like that are to be avoided.

454
00:27:16,593 --> 00:27:21,014
Why? lt seems generous, sending
drinks to people you don't know.

455
00:27:21,181 --> 00:27:24,058
-Drinks are expensive.
-Drinks to two gorgeous girls.

456
00:27:24,226 --> 00:27:27,353
His intention was to seduce
and he assumed he could.

457
00:27:27,521 --> 00:27:29,605
-Both?
-That seems a bit harsh.

458
00:27:29,773 --> 00:27:32,775
You don't know what he was thinking.
Was he alone?

459
00:27:32,943 --> 00:27:34,360
Yes.

460
00:27:34,528 --> 00:27:37,697
You see?
He was alone and probably lonely.

461
00:27:37,865 --> 00:27:40,450
He could see that Alice and Lily
were students.

462
00:27:40,617 --> 00:27:43,411
Students are known
for their intelligent conversation.

463
00:27:43,579 --> 00:27:45,830
They can always talk
about their courses.

464
00:27:45,998 --> 00:27:47,957
That was probably
what attracted him.

465
00:27:48,125 --> 00:27:49,208
Nonsense.

466
00:27:49,376 --> 00:27:51,169
Perhaps his view was even loftier.

467
00:27:51,337 --> 00:27:53,838
To court Lily
with a view to matrimony.

468
00:27:54,006 --> 00:27:56,549
We're in the north,
but a southern gentleman...

469
00:27:56,717 --> 00:27:58,509
...can wander into these parts.

470
00:27:58,677 --> 00:27:59,719
Rubbish.

471
00:27:59,887 --> 00:28:04,557
Seeing Lily across a crowded bar filled
with the usual undergraduate slobs.

472
00:28:04,725 --> 00:28:07,435
Why wouldn't a thoughtful
young man seek her out?

473
00:28:07,603 --> 00:28:08,728
She's lovely.

474
00:28:08,896 --> 00:28:13,066
lsn't it incumbent on men and women
to find ways to meet each other?

475
00:28:13,233 --> 00:28:17,403
Buying drinks for a person you don't
know seems to be a generous one.

476
00:28:17,571 --> 00:28:20,782
Yes. Most guys won't even pay
for the women they do know.

477
00:28:20,949 --> 00:28:23,951
What you've described is
a playboy or operator move.

478
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,205
l'll grant you that it's a tactic
or perhaps even a ruse...

479
00:28:27,373 --> 00:28:30,541
...but without some of that,
would our species even survive?

480
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:33,044
The Lord said,
"Be fruitful and multiply."

481
00:28:33,212 --> 00:28:34,253
Oh, my gosh.

482
00:28:34,838 --> 00:28:38,674
No, this is how the world works,
seeing someone across a room.

483
00:28:38,842 --> 00:28:42,053
This could be the romantic story
you tell your grandchildren.

484
00:28:42,221 --> 00:28:44,972
And if you do marry
and have children...

485
00:28:45,140 --> 00:28:47,642
...then he'll really learn
how to squander cash.

486
00:28:47,810 --> 00:28:51,771
lsn't it good to know that
he's basically generous from the start?

487
00:28:54,525 --> 00:28:56,359
Where's Priss?

488
00:28:57,861 --> 00:29:01,447
Your eyes are so striking. So blue.

489
00:29:01,615 --> 00:29:04,117
-Really? They're blue?
-Yes.

490
00:29:05,035 --> 00:29:06,577
The most piercing blue.

491
00:29:07,788 --> 00:29:09,497
You must know your eyes are blue.

492
00:29:09,665 --> 00:29:12,959
-No.
-What do you mean?

493
00:29:13,127 --> 00:29:14,168
What?

494
00:29:14,336 --> 00:29:16,796
You must know
what color your eyes are.

495
00:29:16,964 --> 00:29:18,965
Your eyes are very blue.
You know that.

496
00:29:19,133 --> 00:29:22,802
l'm not gonna go around checking
what color my eyes are.

497
00:29:22,970 --> 00:29:26,139
When you look in the mirror,
you see that your eyes are blue.

498
00:29:26,306 --> 00:29:28,975
-Oh, come on.
-What?

499
00:29:29,143 --> 00:29:31,018
l don't think my eyes have a color.

500
00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:35,982
lf my eyes are so blue looking out,
wouldn't everything be kind of blue?

501
00:29:36,150 --> 00:29:38,484
Like, have a bluish tinge to it?

502
00:29:43,407 --> 00:29:46,325
Doesn't. Just looks normal.

503
00:29:48,912 --> 00:29:52,039
That's...? That's blue?

504
00:29:52,207 --> 00:29:54,834
-That color?
-Yes, of course.

505
00:29:55,002 --> 00:29:56,586
Then what color is that?

506
00:29:56,753 --> 00:29:58,171
Green.

507
00:29:58,338 --> 00:30:01,340
You're saying that chair's green
but Frank's eyes are blue?

508
00:30:01,508 --> 00:30:02,842
Yes.

509
00:30:03,010 --> 00:30:04,635
Then what color are the walls?

510
00:30:04,803 --> 00:30:06,512
Also green.

511
00:30:09,099 --> 00:30:10,475
You didn't know that?

512
00:30:12,352 --> 00:30:13,519
No.

513
00:30:13,687 --> 00:30:15,229
How's that possible?

514
00:30:15,397 --> 00:30:19,025
You think knowing the colors
is so important?

515
00:30:19,193 --> 00:30:21,694
You're in college
and you don't know the colors?

516
00:30:21,862 --> 00:30:24,030
Doesn't that embarrass you?

517
00:30:24,198 --> 00:30:26,908
Well, no. Why should it?

518
00:30:27,075 --> 00:30:30,203
That's why the 'rents are paying
big bucks to send me here.

519
00:30:30,370 --> 00:30:32,872
You know, to learn stuff.

520
00:30:33,790 --> 00:30:36,083
Well, gotta go hit the books.

521
00:30:40,923 --> 00:30:45,218
l don't think anyone should feel
embarrassed about not knowing stuff.

522
00:30:45,385 --> 00:30:48,221
What's embarrassing
is pretending to know.

523
00:30:48,388 --> 00:30:51,849
Or putting people down because
you think they don't know as much.

524
00:30:52,017 --> 00:30:54,602
Look, l'm happy to admit
l'm completely ignorant.

525
00:30:54,770 --> 00:30:57,897
That's why l'm here
and plan to really hit the books.

526
00:30:58,065 --> 00:31:01,192
So the next time you see me,
l will know more than l do now.

527
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,736
l'll be older but also wiser.

528
00:31:03,904 --> 00:31:06,030
Or at least know more stuff.

529
00:31:06,198 --> 00:31:09,033
For me, that's education.

530
00:31:10,702 --> 00:31:11,744
Cheers.

531
00:31:14,498 --> 00:31:17,917
Thor's great.
He's very clear about his objectives.

532
00:31:18,085 --> 00:31:19,752
He really wants to learn things.

533
00:31:33,892 --> 00:31:35,226
Frank?

534
00:31:41,275 --> 00:31:42,316
What a jerk.

535
00:31:42,484 --> 00:31:44,527
-He's a monster.
-Oh, my gosh, Violet.

536
00:31:44,695 --> 00:31:47,655
You did everything for them.
They're nothing without you.

537
00:31:47,823 --> 00:31:49,865
-What a rat.
-He's a moron.

538
00:31:50,033 --> 00:31:53,369
-Don't waste a tear on that creep.
-Don't waste a single breath.

539
00:31:53,537 --> 00:31:54,829
-Jerk.
-Stop.

540
00:31:54,997 --> 00:31:56,789
-Please.
-What?

541
00:31:57,457 --> 00:31:59,792
l love Frank.

542
00:32:01,211 --> 00:32:03,212
l love him.

543
00:32:07,718 --> 00:32:10,970
Come on, Violet, Frank's a moron.
You are well rid of him.

544
00:32:11,138 --> 00:32:13,514
-Don't say that.
-Frank's not a moron?

545
00:32:13,974 --> 00:32:17,310
You know, Lily, you're a bit harsh.

546
00:32:17,978 --> 00:32:19,687
This obsession with intelligence.

547
00:32:19,855 --> 00:32:23,274
Do you think it has some magical
quality transforming everything?

548
00:32:23,442 --> 00:32:26,235
The intelligence line
is not an immutable barrier.

549
00:32:26,403 --> 00:32:27,445
Love can cross it.

550
00:32:27,613 --> 00:32:30,656
You can love someone
whose mental capacity is not large.

551
00:32:30,824 --> 00:32:33,826
l know. l have.

552
00:32:34,369 --> 00:32:38,039
-Well, there's a mutable barrier, then.
-Frank's stupid, we knew.

553
00:32:38,206 --> 00:32:41,167
That he's a rat playboy operator,
l hadn't realized.

554
00:32:41,335 --> 00:32:43,669
l don't want to turn bitter.

555
00:32:44,004 --> 00:32:47,381
-l worry for Frank. l care about him.
-Well, l'd stop.

556
00:32:47,549 --> 00:32:48,716
No.

557
00:32:48,884 --> 00:32:50,676
l love Frank.

558
00:32:50,844 --> 00:32:51,969
l always will.

559
00:32:52,137 --> 00:32:54,680
lf that's the case,
why not fight for him?

560
00:32:54,848 --> 00:32:57,642
-Against Priss? l'd never win.
-Sure you would.

561
00:32:57,809 --> 00:33:01,020
Priss is a rat. A bitch.

562
00:33:01,188 --> 00:33:02,813
A rat bitch.

563
00:33:03,357 --> 00:33:05,691
Don't blame Priss.

564
00:33:06,276 --> 00:33:11,030
She was crushed
when her blue-eyed Josh left her.

565
00:33:12,449 --> 00:33:14,367
l should've known.

566
00:33:14,534 --> 00:33:16,952
Of course she'd fall for Frank.

567
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,290
Josh and Frank
are both blue-eyed heartbreakers.

568
00:33:27,381 --> 00:33:28,547
Poor Violet.

569
00:33:28,715 --> 00:33:30,925
She's the roommate
who's so self-confident?

570
00:33:31,093 --> 00:33:33,344
Yeah. But now she's a wreck.

571
00:33:33,512 --> 00:33:37,598
But there's no logic
to the algebra of love.

572
00:33:37,766 --> 00:33:39,350
"The algebra of love."

573
00:33:39,518 --> 00:33:41,852
That sounds like the title
to some lame book.

574
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:44,355
lt's a title,
but the book's not lame at all.

575
00:33:44,523 --> 00:33:46,982
Love's algebra?
l thought it was more geometry.

576
00:33:47,150 --> 00:33:49,402
Okay, the title's not good,
but the book is.

577
00:33:49,569 --> 00:33:51,070
What's it say?

578
00:33:51,238 --> 00:33:55,074
Well, that while we're all perverse
in our romantic preferences...

579
00:33:55,242 --> 00:33:58,911
...there's actually this logic
or algebra to our perversity...

580
00:33:59,079 --> 00:34:03,082
...and it has something to do
with how the species has evolved.

581
00:34:03,250 --> 00:34:05,251
-The survival of the species?
-Yes.

582
00:34:05,419 --> 00:34:08,587
And whether it will
continue to do so.

583
00:34:10,924 --> 00:34:12,258
No booze?

584
00:34:12,426 --> 00:34:16,178
Just to find the nearest package store,
you had to drive 40 miles.

585
00:34:17,514 --> 00:34:20,599
-These aren't so strong.
-No, they're really strong.

586
00:34:20,767 --> 00:34:22,101
l think l'd like another.

587
00:34:23,019 --> 00:34:25,479
-That wouldn't be a good idea.
-Why not?

588
00:34:25,647 --> 00:34:28,899
-Well....
-Are you trying to stifle me?

589
00:34:29,067 --> 00:34:31,569
-Lily?
-Oh, hi.

590
00:34:31,737 --> 00:34:35,406
Listen, we're gonna get something
to eat. Why don't you come with us?

591
00:34:35,574 --> 00:34:38,701
-l'm with Charlie.
-l can see that.

592
00:34:38,869 --> 00:34:41,954
-But you really should come.
-Why?

593
00:34:42,122 --> 00:34:44,457
l just think it would be a good idea.

594
00:34:46,042 --> 00:34:49,712
-But why?
-You really must come. l insist.

595
00:34:51,047 --> 00:34:56,552
Lily?

596
00:34:57,888 --> 00:35:00,055
Lily, are you angry?

597
00:35:01,641 --> 00:35:04,310
Lily, this is it. We're here.

598
00:35:04,478 --> 00:35:06,479
What's the matter?

599
00:35:07,397 --> 00:35:10,983
That was so rude. He's a nice guy
and you embarrassed him.

600
00:35:11,151 --> 00:35:13,611
He's not nice.
He was trying to get you drunk.

601
00:35:13,779 --> 00:35:16,280
-No, he wasn't.
-Plying you with martinis?

602
00:35:16,448 --> 00:35:20,451
-l was plying myself with martinis.
-Come on, the guy's a total sleaze.

603
00:35:20,619 --> 00:35:23,579
-A creep.
-You don't know anything about him.

604
00:35:23,747 --> 00:35:26,624
The way he sent drinks
over to our table?

605
00:35:27,751 --> 00:35:29,293
Alice.

606
00:35:29,461 --> 00:35:30,961
Alice, what's wrong?

607
00:35:31,129 --> 00:35:33,422
l had no idea
that Xavier could be so mean.

608
00:35:33,590 --> 00:35:36,008
Sounds as if he was just trying
to protect you.

609
00:35:36,176 --> 00:35:39,345
This Charlie Walker sounds like
an operator or playboy type.

610
00:35:39,513 --> 00:35:42,473
No, he's not like that.
He's actually a really nice guy.

611
00:35:42,641 --> 00:35:44,809
l thought he was
a slick businessman.

612
00:35:44,976 --> 00:35:48,187
No. He dresses well,
but he works in strategic development.

613
00:35:48,355 --> 00:35:51,065
-What?
-Strategic development.

614
00:35:51,233 --> 00:35:54,568
He works at SDA.
Strategic Development Associates.

615
00:35:54,736 --> 00:35:58,572
-He's an associate there.
-What he is, is a strategic operator.

616
00:36:01,952 --> 00:36:04,286
Violet, are you okay?

617
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,682
Hey, miss, rain's coming!
Better get back!

618
00:36:36,820 --> 00:36:40,906
-Polly, have you seen Violet?
-No. ls something wrong?

619
00:36:41,074 --> 00:36:42,491
We're not sure.

620
00:36:45,370 --> 00:37:03,345
Violet!

621
00:37:06,850 --> 00:37:11,186
-Violet!
-Violet! Oh, my gosh, what happened?

622
00:37:24,326 --> 00:37:27,494
l don't understand.
What were you doing?

623
00:37:28,038 --> 00:37:30,372
How long were you gone for?

624
00:37:30,540 --> 00:37:31,957
l'm sorry, l don't know.

625
00:37:32,125 --> 00:37:34,293
l lost track of time.

626
00:37:35,629 --> 00:37:37,129
But you feel better now?

627
00:37:37,881 --> 00:37:41,216
Well, cleaner.

628
00:37:43,595 --> 00:37:45,638
She'll say anything
to get in the show.

629
00:37:45,805 --> 00:37:48,807
-She'll want doughnuts.
-You don't have to be suicidal...

630
00:37:48,975 --> 00:37:52,895
-...to get doughnuts, just depressed.
-Clinically depressed. From a clinic.

631
00:37:53,063 --> 00:37:55,981
-Would you say you're depressed?
-l don't like the term.

632
00:37:56,149 --> 00:37:59,360
-l prefer to say l'm in a tailspin.
-Oh, my God. A tailspin?

633
00:37:59,527 --> 00:38:01,403
She can't even say
she's depressed.

634
00:38:01,571 --> 00:38:04,406
She's gotta say something special.
Priss was honest.

635
00:38:04,574 --> 00:38:07,618
She was depressed
and she had a right to be in the show.

636
00:38:07,786 --> 00:38:10,329
Now every silly tailspinner's
trying to get in.

637
00:38:10,497 --> 00:38:14,166
-The show is for everyone.
-No, it isn't, Freak.

638
00:38:14,834 --> 00:38:18,170
To be in the center's programs,
you have to be clinically depressed.

639
00:38:18,338 --> 00:38:21,048
That means
that you've been to a clinic...

640
00:38:21,216 --> 00:38:23,384
...and they've said
that you're depressed.

641
00:38:23,551 --> 00:38:25,427
Have you been to a clinic?

642
00:38:27,097 --> 00:38:30,474
Have you been to a clinic?
Then you're not clinically depressed.

643
00:38:39,609 --> 00:38:44,279
Violet. Violet. What is it?
Where are you going?

644
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:51,161
All l wanted was to make Frank happy.
l had all these plans.

645
00:38:51,329 --> 00:38:55,666
Things we could've done together.
l never even got to tell him.

646
00:39:38,793 --> 00:39:42,588
Hey! Where all your boyfriends at?
Come on!

647
00:39:42,756 --> 00:39:45,799
They don't wear bikinis.
They're ladies, they wear thongs.

648
00:39:45,967 --> 00:39:48,093
l can't imagine
where she could've gone.

649
00:39:48,636 --> 00:39:51,680
Wherever she went,
she should be back by now.

650
00:39:52,182 --> 00:39:54,183
How did she seem
when you last saw her?

651
00:39:54,350 --> 00:39:55,976
Really sad about Frank.

652
00:39:56,144 --> 00:39:57,644
-Still?
-Yeah.

653
00:39:57,812 --> 00:40:01,774
How can someone so smart continue
mooning over a dope like that?

654
00:40:01,941 --> 00:40:05,152
People aren't exactly as you assume.
The Violet you know...

655
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,614
...bears little resemblance
to the girl l met in seventh grade.

656
00:40:08,782 --> 00:40:12,868
-You met Violet in seventh grade?
-Well, her name wasn't Violet then.

657
00:40:13,369 --> 00:40:15,496
What's your name?

658
00:40:15,663 --> 00:40:18,457
You can tell us your name.
We won't bite.

659
00:40:18,625 --> 00:40:21,418
What's your name? Tell us.

660
00:40:21,586 --> 00:40:24,922
Are you retarded?
Tell us your name.

661
00:40:25,965 --> 00:40:28,884
Emily Tweeter.

662
00:40:29,052 --> 00:40:33,514
-Tweeter? Like a bird?
-That's ridiculous.

663
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:37,309
Tweeter? Like a bird?

664
00:40:37,477 --> 00:40:41,188
-Not an easy name to have at that age.
-Not at any age.

665
00:40:41,356 --> 00:40:42,481
What was she like?

666
00:40:42,649 --> 00:40:45,317
Timid. Bookish.
Classic scholarship student.

667
00:40:45,485 --> 00:40:46,819
Her parents were writers.

668
00:40:46,986 --> 00:40:50,614
They didn't have a dime.
Finances were the least of her worries.

669
00:40:50,782 --> 00:40:53,826
-What do you mean?
-Well, she was crazy.

670
00:40:53,993 --> 00:40:57,204
l got stuck rooming with her
on a trip when no one else would.

671
00:40:57,372 --> 00:40:59,540
-lt was awful.
-Did she smell bad?

672
00:40:59,707 --> 00:41:03,669
No. Obsessive cleanliness
was part of her insanity.

673
00:41:03,837 --> 00:41:05,337
-You were nice to her.
-No.

674
00:41:05,505 --> 00:41:08,382
The idea of being nice
to weird kids hadn't arrived.

675
00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:11,844
-Why was she so unpopular?
-Well, she was very strange.

676
00:41:12,011 --> 00:41:15,222
Constantly setting herself odd,
repetitive tasks.

677
00:41:15,390 --> 00:41:16,431
Tasks?

678
00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:21,979
For example, on that trip she had
with her a little square suitcase.

679
00:41:22,147 --> 00:41:24,690
The idea came into her head
she had to move it...

680
00:41:24,858 --> 00:41:27,234
...in a precise pattern
over and over again...

681
00:41:27,402 --> 00:41:30,821
...and if she didn't execute this
movement flawlessly 1 0 times...

682
00:41:30,989 --> 00:41:32,072
...she'd start over.

683
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:36,076
Another was to slide her hand
across her forehead...

684
00:41:36,244 --> 00:41:40,247
...trying not to touch her hair
or eyebrows on either side...

685
00:41:40,415 --> 00:41:42,666
...also repeating it 1 0 times.

686
00:41:42,834 --> 00:41:46,545
Any niggling thought she'd touched
the hair, she'd start over.

687
00:41:46,713 --> 00:41:50,048
-My God, that is insane.
-Why would she do that?

688
00:41:50,216 --> 00:41:54,178
She had the conviction that
if she didn't complete these tasks...

689
00:41:54,345 --> 00:41:55,929
...her parents would die.

690
00:41:56,097 --> 00:41:57,931
-Was she Catholic?
-No.

691
00:41:58,099 --> 00:42:01,435
But what made the whole thing
really sad...

692
00:42:01,603 --> 00:42:03,896
...was that her parents did die.

693
00:42:04,063 --> 00:42:06,231
Oh, my God.

694
00:42:07,192 --> 00:42:26,668
Violet!

695
00:42:26,836 --> 00:42:28,086
Violet?

696
00:42:30,673 --> 00:42:33,592
Violet!

697
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:37,054
Violet, where are you?

698
00:43:07,877 --> 00:43:12,214
Something's wrong, isn't it, dear?
You mind my asking?

699
00:43:12,382 --> 00:43:15,342
Well, l do mind a little.

700
00:43:16,052 --> 00:43:18,011
-Excuse me, Your Highness.
-l'm sorry.

701
00:43:18,179 --> 00:43:21,265
-lt's just kind of awkward to talk about.
-No matter.

702
00:43:21,432 --> 00:43:24,309
l hope you haven't come
to get run over on the highway.

703
00:43:24,477 --> 00:43:26,812
-What do you mean?
-Suicides.

704
00:43:27,397 --> 00:43:30,357
They come down from the university.
Jump out in the road.

705
00:43:30,525 --> 00:43:32,192
Get hit by the blind curve.

706
00:43:33,069 --> 00:43:35,153
Hope you're not one of them.

707
00:43:35,321 --> 00:43:36,863
Do l look like one of them?

708
00:43:38,950 --> 00:43:40,200
l don't know.

709
00:43:40,368 --> 00:43:41,618
Maybe.

710
00:43:42,578 --> 00:43:44,079
Messy people, suicides.

711
00:43:44,247 --> 00:43:46,665
Think only of themselves
and their own deaths.

712
00:43:46,833 --> 00:43:48,208
Not what comes after.

713
00:43:48,376 --> 00:43:50,419
They leave quite a mess.

714
00:43:50,586 --> 00:43:52,879
They don't stick around
to clean it up.

715
00:43:56,509 --> 00:44:00,012
So you're not one of those depressed
students from the university?

716
00:44:00,179 --> 00:44:04,016
l don't like the word "depressed."
l prefer to say that l'm in a tailspin.

717
00:44:04,183 --> 00:44:05,350
A tailspin?

718
00:44:05,518 --> 00:44:08,979
-Does this tailspin involve a man?
-Yes, it does.

719
00:44:09,147 --> 00:44:11,690
But l'm not as crazy as l was
up till yesterday.

720
00:44:11,858 --> 00:44:16,028
Apparently that's due to the salutary
effect of scent on the human psyche.

721
00:44:16,195 --> 00:44:19,823
lts importance is, l believe,
almost incalculable.

722
00:44:20,700 --> 00:44:23,118
At the motel,
l happened to use this soap.

723
00:44:23,286 --> 00:44:26,830
lt was provided to me as a courtesy
as one of the guests.

724
00:44:26,998 --> 00:44:28,415
That an economical motel...

725
00:44:28,583 --> 00:44:31,710
...would provide such good soap
is quite unusual.

726
00:44:31,878 --> 00:44:35,005
-The scent is very precise.
-Really?

727
00:44:35,173 --> 00:44:38,675
Tell me if it provokes any particular
reaction in your psyche.

728
00:44:38,843 --> 00:44:41,011
A state of mind.

729
00:44:53,358 --> 00:44:55,275
l always knew she was unstable.

730
00:44:55,443 --> 00:44:58,445
They're gonna have her photo
at the registrar's.

731
00:45:20,176 --> 00:45:22,803
Violet! Violet!

732
00:45:22,970 --> 00:45:24,554
You're back! You're okay!

733
00:45:25,848 --> 00:45:27,432
Not really.

734
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,810
Oh, my gosh, Violet,
we were so worried.

735
00:45:29,977 --> 00:45:32,062
Why didn't you tell us
or leave a note?

736
00:45:32,230 --> 00:45:34,314
l did leave a note.

737
00:45:34,482 --> 00:45:37,150
Would that be a suicide note?

738
00:45:44,283 --> 00:45:46,993
-l wouldn't leave without a note.
-Where did you go?

739
00:45:47,161 --> 00:45:50,497
l took the train to Villafranca
and checked into a motel there.

740
00:45:50,665 --> 00:45:52,416
-The Motel 6?
-No, the Motel 4.

741
00:45:52,583 --> 00:45:55,836
-lt's even less expensive.
-The Motel 4 in Villafranca?

742
00:45:56,462 --> 00:45:59,131
-My God, you really were suicidal.
-Why'd you go?

743
00:45:59,298 --> 00:46:00,632
l had to do something.

744
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:05,470
And you really thought you were
gonna find the answer in Villafranca?

745
00:46:05,638 --> 00:46:08,640
l'm not sure what l expected,
but l might have found it.

746
00:46:08,808 --> 00:46:10,308
What?

747
00:46:14,230 --> 00:46:15,272
Soap?

748
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,026
This scent and this soap...

749
00:46:20,194 --> 00:46:22,737
...is what gives me hope.

750
00:46:34,834 --> 00:46:40,046
Hello?

751
00:46:40,756 --> 00:46:42,757
ls anyone here?

752
00:46:44,051 --> 00:46:46,219
Hello?

753
00:46:48,139 --> 00:46:49,514
Lily?

754
00:46:49,682 --> 00:46:50,932
-Hello?
-Oh, my gosh.

755
00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:53,477
l couldn't understand
where everyone was.

756
00:46:54,437 --> 00:46:56,938
Sorry, l just went out
to get some things.

757
00:46:57,106 --> 00:46:59,024
-Where's Alice?
-Gone.

758
00:46:59,859 --> 00:47:01,359
What do you mean?

759
00:47:01,527 --> 00:47:02,944
Left.

760
00:47:03,362 --> 00:47:04,404
We broke up.

761
00:47:04,572 --> 00:47:07,782
-But when you called, you said--
-l know, l'm sorry.

762
00:47:08,743 --> 00:47:11,203
l thought it better
to tell you in person.

763
00:47:15,458 --> 00:47:19,628
Alice couldn't control her jealousy.
lt completely overwhelmed her.

764
00:47:19,795 --> 00:47:22,297
Really? What was she jealous of?

765
00:47:22,465 --> 00:47:23,798
Come on.

766
00:47:23,966 --> 00:47:25,300
No, what?

767
00:47:25,468 --> 00:47:26,968
You.

768
00:47:27,136 --> 00:47:29,763
After a while,
l just couldn't handle it.

769
00:47:30,264 --> 00:47:32,641
Things became impossible.

770
00:47:33,643 --> 00:47:35,810
She was jealous of me?

771
00:47:36,646 --> 00:47:38,313
Of course.

772
00:47:41,984 --> 00:47:44,486
Would it be okay if we watch a film?

773
00:47:44,654 --> 00:47:46,488
Yes.

774
00:47:46,656 --> 00:47:48,156
What would you like to see?

775
00:47:48,324 --> 00:47:52,160
l thought maybe Truffaut's
Baisers volés. Stolen Kisses.

776
00:47:52,328 --> 00:47:53,662
Do you know it?

777
00:47:53,829 --> 00:47:55,413
No, is it new?

778
00:47:55,581 --> 00:47:57,707
lt's a classic
of French New Wave cinema.

779
00:47:57,875 --> 00:47:59,584
l think you'll like it.

780
00:47:59,752 --> 00:48:02,420
-But it's in color?
-Yeah.

781
00:48:03,506 --> 00:48:06,508
-You don't know Truffaut?
-No.

782
00:48:07,343 --> 00:48:09,427
Do you know Godard,
Á bout de souffle?

783
00:48:28,364 --> 00:48:30,949
-Why was Alice so jealous?
-What do you think?

784
00:48:31,117 --> 00:48:33,285
She was jealous
because Lily's lovely.

785
00:48:33,452 --> 00:48:35,704
l don't know.
They had a lot of problems.

786
00:48:35,871 --> 00:48:37,497
Of course.

787
00:48:37,665 --> 00:48:39,624
You wouldn't break up
a happy couple.

788
00:48:39,792 --> 00:48:41,960
-What's that?
-A note Frank left.

789
00:48:42,128 --> 00:48:44,838
-Really? Recently?
-No, when we were together.

790
00:48:45,006 --> 00:48:47,340
Now that most correspondence
is electronic...

791
00:48:47,508 --> 00:48:50,051
...it's rare to be left anything
written by hand.

792
00:48:50,219 --> 00:48:51,469
Frank can write by hand?

793
00:48:52,221 --> 00:48:55,140
-What is it?
-lt's not very important.

794
00:48:55,308 --> 00:48:56,975
lt's just all l have.

795
00:48:57,143 --> 00:49:01,187
-What's it say?
-"Out for brewskis. Back in a giff."

796
00:49:01,355 --> 00:49:02,397
What's a "giff"?

797
00:49:02,565 --> 00:49:04,899
One of those little motor scooters,
isn't it?

798
00:49:05,067 --> 00:49:08,278
l'm sure he meant to write "jiff"
with a J. "Back in a jiff."

799
00:49:08,446 --> 00:49:09,613
But he wrote "giff."

800
00:49:09,780 --> 00:49:13,283
-Could Frank be dyslexic?
-No. Dyslexics are intelligent.

801
00:49:15,244 --> 00:49:17,495
-What's that?
-Frank's bean ball.

802
00:49:17,663 --> 00:49:21,499
-He gave you his bean ball?
-Not exactly. This is an extra.

803
00:49:21,667 --> 00:49:25,503
He thought he'd leave it here
just in case he lost his other one.

804
00:49:25,671 --> 00:49:29,007
Gosh, Violet, you've really
gotta stop thinking about Frank.

805
00:49:29,175 --> 00:49:31,509
Why? l don't wanna stop
thinking about him.

806
00:49:32,261 --> 00:49:35,930
Recently l had a thought
that cheered me up a lot.

807
00:49:36,432 --> 00:49:38,683
Life is like a long, flowing river...

808
00:49:38,851 --> 00:49:43,146
...and as a long, flowing river, some
debris you never expect to see again...

809
00:49:43,314 --> 00:49:46,274
...is almost certain to reappear
floating to the surface.

810
00:49:46,442 --> 00:49:49,653
Frank and l may very well
be together again one day.

811
00:49:49,820 --> 00:49:52,614
Maybe it'll take years,
but somewhere down the line...

812
00:49:52,782 --> 00:49:56,868
...he's very likely to pop up again,
and l'll be there to catch him.

813
00:50:08,339 --> 00:50:10,882
l don't think
we've spoken about this.

814
00:50:11,050 --> 00:50:12,050
What?

815
00:50:12,218 --> 00:50:16,012
Have you been to the south of France?
To the walled city of Carcassonne?

816
00:50:16,180 --> 00:50:19,808
-l've never been anywhere.
-But you've seen pictures of it.

817
00:50:19,975 --> 00:50:22,185
No, l don't think so.

818
00:50:24,689 --> 00:50:27,107
Oh, it's fascinating.

819
00:50:27,274 --> 00:50:31,027
-l'd like to visit.
-You never studied the Cathars?

820
00:50:34,907 --> 00:50:36,741
They were a religious movement...

821
00:50:36,909 --> 00:50:38,201
...very idealistic...

822
00:50:38,369 --> 00:50:40,787
...located mostly
in the southwest of France...

823
00:50:40,955 --> 00:50:43,081
...that the Catholic Church
repressed.

824
00:50:43,249 --> 00:50:46,042
Oh, my God. The Catholic Church is,
like, always bad.

825
00:50:46,210 --> 00:50:48,878
ldeas can't be killed
as easily as people.

826
00:50:49,046 --> 00:50:51,798
Especially such enlightened ones
as the Cathars held.

827
00:50:51,966 --> 00:50:55,802
ln recent years, more and more people
have returned to their beliefs.

828
00:50:56,262 --> 00:50:59,764
So you're a Cathar?

829
00:50:59,932 --> 00:51:02,308
Yes. l aspire to be.

830
00:51:02,476 --> 00:51:06,479
l'm trying to follow the path
the Cathars marked out.

831
00:51:06,647 --> 00:51:08,940
That's so impressive.

832
00:51:09,108 --> 00:51:12,110
l can tell you we didn't have
any Cathars back home.

833
00:51:12,278 --> 00:51:14,779
l think you'd be surprised.

834
00:51:34,383 --> 00:51:35,592
ln the Cathar view...

835
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,679
...the highest form of lovemaking
avoids procreation entirely.

836
00:51:39,847 --> 00:51:41,848
Sure. Condoms, right?

837
00:51:43,142 --> 00:51:44,934
Well, according to Cathar ideas...

838
00:51:45,102 --> 00:51:49,481
...sex with condoms is just a parody
of the procreative act.

839
00:51:50,483 --> 00:51:51,649
What do you mean?

840
00:51:51,817 --> 00:51:54,903
The standard, cliché form
of sexual intercourse...

841
00:51:55,070 --> 00:51:58,156
...is for the man to approach
a woman from the front.

842
00:51:58,657 --> 00:52:01,534
Cathar lovemaking,
l think you'll find very fulfilling.

843
00:52:01,702 --> 00:52:04,537
l'll be very careful, we'll go slowly.

844
00:52:04,705 --> 00:52:06,206
lt'll be a new experience...

845
00:52:06,373 --> 00:52:11,002
...but one which l think you'll find
brings an inexpressible closeness.

846
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,288
Might your drinks-buying friend
be around?

847
00:52:47,456 --> 00:52:50,083
lt would be great
to get complimentary cocktails.

848
00:52:50,251 --> 00:52:52,544
-Charlie? No.
-Do you still see him at all?

849
00:52:52,711 --> 00:52:54,671
-He calls from time to time.
-He does?

850
00:52:54,839 --> 00:52:57,799
-Why don't you introduce us?
-Why should l introduce you?

851
00:52:57,967 --> 00:52:59,759
Because you know him,
and we don't.

852
00:52:59,927 --> 00:53:01,386
So?

853
00:53:01,554 --> 00:53:02,554
"So?"

854
00:53:03,222 --> 00:53:06,349
"So" is probably the unkindest word
in the English language.

855
00:53:06,517 --> 00:53:10,770
l can't bear it. l think it should
be outlawed. "So."

856
00:53:10,938 --> 00:53:12,188
You're crazy.

857
00:53:12,356 --> 00:53:14,232
Come on, Lily, you have Xavier.

858
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:18,069
-You can't keep two guys for yourself.
-Guys do that all the time.

859
00:53:18,571 --> 00:53:20,071
We're not guys, fortunately.

860
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,449
lt's unconscionable for you not
to bring him and introduce us.

861
00:53:23,617 --> 00:53:26,911
Charlie is a friend. He's a nice guy.

862
00:53:27,079 --> 00:53:28,580
What do you mean?

863
00:53:28,747 --> 00:53:32,000
l hate to think what'd happen
if you got your claws into him.

864
00:53:32,167 --> 00:53:33,543
That's outrageous.

865
00:53:33,711 --> 00:53:34,794
We're perfectly nice.

866
00:53:34,962 --> 00:53:38,047
We've met lots of pathetic guys
and nothing bad's happened.

867
00:53:38,215 --> 00:53:41,050
-Charlie's not pathetic.
-Well, all the better, then.

868
00:53:52,479 --> 00:53:54,939
The Roman Holidays
will be coming soon.

869
00:53:55,107 --> 00:53:58,192
-What's that?
-A festival Roman Letter Clubs put on.

870
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,361
A kind of moron jamboree.

871
00:54:00,529 --> 00:54:03,948
The Roman elements are the worship
of Bacchus, Beerus and Blotto.

872
00:54:04,116 --> 00:54:06,451
-lt could've all been so uplifting.
-Charlie.

873
00:54:06,994 --> 00:54:08,953
Hey, Charlie.

874
00:54:09,121 --> 00:54:12,123
Hey. What are you doing here?

875
00:54:12,291 --> 00:54:15,501
-Have you the day off?
-Yeah.

876
00:54:17,046 --> 00:54:21,174
This is my friend Charlie,
whom l think l've mentioned.

877
00:54:21,342 --> 00:54:24,469
And, Charlie,
these are my roommates. This is....

878
00:54:24,845 --> 00:54:28,806
This is Rose.
And this is Heather. And Violet.

879
00:54:29,266 --> 00:54:32,477
Charlie works
for Strategic Development Associates.

880
00:54:32,645 --> 00:54:34,312
He's an associate there.

881
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,314
You work in strategic development?

882
00:54:36,482 --> 00:54:38,441
-You've heard of it?
-Of course, yes.

883
00:54:38,609 --> 00:54:41,986
My cousin Jay in Philadelphia works
in strategic development.

884
00:54:42,154 --> 00:54:43,863
Something business-related?

885
00:54:44,031 --> 00:54:46,991
Mostly business,
but any kind of organization.

886
00:54:47,159 --> 00:54:51,829
-Only businesses pay the big bucks.
-Nonprofits and government pay well.

887
00:54:51,997 --> 00:54:54,374
That's how they keep
from having profits...

888
00:54:54,541 --> 00:54:57,418
...by paying lots of money
to companies like yours.

889
00:54:57,586 --> 00:55:01,965
Excuse me, but aren't you in Professor
Ryan's course at the Ed School?

890
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,133
No.

891
00:55:04,301 --> 00:55:07,053
You're not in Professor Ryan's
Flit Lit course?

892
00:55:07,221 --> 00:55:08,513
No.

893
00:55:08,681 --> 00:55:11,975
-Flit Lit?
-The dandy tradition in literature.

894
00:55:12,142 --> 00:55:14,644
-l'm sure l've seen you there.
-Yeah, l'm sorry.

895
00:55:14,812 --> 00:55:17,855
l'm not in any courses
at the Ed School. Good to meet you.

896
00:55:18,023 --> 00:55:20,441
-lt was great to see you.
-Bye.

897
00:55:21,860 --> 00:55:23,695
God, Violet, what was that about?

898
00:55:23,862 --> 00:55:26,406
That guy is definitely
in Professor Ryan's class.

899
00:55:26,573 --> 00:55:30,410
Not possible. He has a fulltime job
for Strategic Development Associates.

900
00:55:30,577 --> 00:55:31,869
He never got his coffee.

901
00:55:32,037 --> 00:55:35,873
-Why lie about something like that?
-He's lying.

902
00:55:36,041 --> 00:55:39,335
l find that very attractive.

903
00:55:39,503 --> 00:55:40,837
What are you going to do?

904
00:55:41,005 --> 00:55:43,840
l'm gonna stop cutting
Professor Ryan's class.

905
00:55:48,012 --> 00:55:51,389
lt can be argued that Firbank
was too little disciplined...

906
00:55:51,557 --> 00:55:55,059
...too unserious
in his unseriousness...

907
00:55:55,227 --> 00:55:58,229
...to create works of enduring value.

908
00:55:58,397 --> 00:56:02,025
But as a liberating influence
on later writers such as Waugh...

909
00:56:02,192 --> 00:56:04,736
...his importance
should not be discounted.

910
00:56:05,654 --> 00:56:09,073
lt's not Firbank's work itself
but the idea of his work...

911
00:56:09,241 --> 00:56:11,242
...that so helped later writers...

912
00:56:11,410 --> 00:56:14,620
...as Thomas Love Peacock
did in the previous century.

913
00:56:15,873 --> 00:56:18,082
l'm not gonna come anymore.

914
00:56:19,543 --> 00:56:21,919
-What a waste of time.
-Charlie.

915
00:56:22,087 --> 00:56:23,296
Charlie.

916
00:56:23,922 --> 00:56:26,340
-Charlie?
-Charlie, you are taking the course.

917
00:56:26,508 --> 00:56:27,759
Charlie?

918
00:56:27,926 --> 00:56:28,968
Who's Charlie?

919
00:56:29,136 --> 00:56:31,596
-Fred, what's going on?
-Fred?

920
00:56:31,764 --> 00:56:34,640
Fred. sounds like you got
some explaining to do.

921
00:56:38,604 --> 00:56:41,773
-Well, you were lying.
-l wasn't lying, l was making it up.

922
00:56:41,940 --> 00:56:43,274
Why were you making it up?

923
00:56:43,442 --> 00:56:47,278
lf you were an eighth-year Ed School
student, would you advertise that?

924
00:56:47,446 --> 00:56:51,240
Eighth year. lmpressive.
But your whole life was a lie.

925
00:56:51,408 --> 00:56:53,868
Dressing up in suits.
Buying people drinks.

926
00:56:54,036 --> 00:56:55,995
The suits were real.
The drinks, real.

927
00:56:56,163 --> 00:56:58,956
Not just drinks for people.
They were for cute girls.

928
00:56:59,124 --> 00:57:02,293
There's a perfectly rational,
easily explainable agenda.

929
00:57:02,461 --> 00:57:04,462
So it was a playboy
or operator move.

930
00:57:04,630 --> 00:57:09,133
-Of course. Transparently so.
-l admire that. Drinks are expensive.

931
00:57:09,301 --> 00:57:12,345
But strategic development,
that was made up too?

932
00:57:13,055 --> 00:57:16,099
-You said your cousin Jay was in it.
-What cousin Jay?

933
00:57:16,266 --> 00:57:19,310
-ln Philadelphia.
-l don't have a cousin in Philadelphia.

934
00:57:19,770 --> 00:57:23,439
You said your cousin Jay
was working in strategic development.

935
00:57:23,607 --> 00:57:27,485
l was just saying that to be friendly.
To make a kind of link.

936
00:57:28,654 --> 00:57:33,116
-So your name's Fred something?
-Yes. Fred something.

937
00:57:33,283 --> 00:57:36,536
-Packenstacker?
-Oh, my God. How crazy.

938
00:57:37,079 --> 00:57:40,248
He's completely insane.
l almost dated him.

939
00:57:40,415 --> 00:57:43,835
-You can say that about a lot of guys.
-l don't think he's crazy.

940
00:57:44,002 --> 00:57:47,672
Making up an entirely fictitious
identity, that's not crazy?

941
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:52,385
-lt's insane. lt's psycho.
-Violet's identity is made up.

942
00:57:52,553 --> 00:57:55,221
-l don't think she's crazy.
-No, l am.

943
00:57:55,389 --> 00:57:56,889
No, this is different.

944
00:57:57,057 --> 00:58:00,977
lt's crazy and pathetic.

945
00:58:01,145 --> 00:58:04,313
All that about strategic development
he just made up.

946
00:58:05,774 --> 00:58:07,692
Don't tell me that's not weird.

947
00:58:07,860 --> 00:58:09,861
l've heard of strategic development.

948
00:58:10,028 --> 00:58:12,363
l think it's something
pretty important.

949
00:58:12,781 --> 00:58:15,867
Violet, you're not gonna
start going out with him.

950
00:58:16,493 --> 00:58:17,952
You're not, are you?

951
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,413
Well, we had planned
to go to the library.

952
00:58:20,581 --> 00:58:22,540
-Not to the stacks, l hope.
-Yes.

953
00:58:22,708 --> 00:58:25,459
Oh, my gosh, do you realize
how dangerous that is?

954
00:58:25,627 --> 00:58:27,086
-Dangerous?
-Yes, the stacks.

955
00:58:27,254 --> 00:58:30,006
They're dark and deserted.
Anything could happen.

956
00:58:30,174 --> 00:58:31,299
lt's true.

957
00:58:31,466 --> 00:58:33,551
With the study habits
at Seven Oaks...

958
00:58:33,719 --> 00:58:35,887
...your body won't be found
until spring.

959
00:58:36,054 --> 00:58:39,557
Promise you won't go with him
to the stacks. Please.

960
00:58:40,851 --> 00:58:43,269
Okay. l'll suggest
the Randall Room.

961
00:58:43,979 --> 00:58:47,398
-Don't suggest. lnsist.
-And please not at night.

962
00:58:48,192 --> 00:58:49,734
Okay.

963
00:58:52,654 --> 00:58:54,322
What are you reading?

964
00:58:55,908 --> 00:58:59,243
Have you chosen a topic
for your final paper?

965
00:58:59,411 --> 00:59:01,579
The decline of decadence.

966
00:59:01,747 --> 00:59:04,081
You think that decadence
has declined?

967
00:59:04,249 --> 00:59:08,628
Definitely. Bigtime.
Major, major decline.

968
00:59:08,795 --> 00:59:10,171
How?

969
00:59:10,339 --> 00:59:12,381
How or in what ways?

970
00:59:14,051 --> 00:59:15,092
Either.

971
00:59:16,094 --> 00:59:20,097
Well, take the flit movement
in literature, or homosexuality.

972
00:59:20,265 --> 00:59:23,601
lt's gone completely downhill,
right down the tubes.

973
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,313
What do you mean?

974
00:59:27,481 --> 00:59:30,441
Before, homosexuality was
something refined, hidden...

975
00:59:30,609 --> 00:59:35,279
...aspiring to the highest levels
of creativity and often achieving it.

976
00:59:35,447 --> 00:59:39,200
Now it seems to be musclebound
morons running around in T-shirts.

977
00:59:39,368 --> 00:59:41,577
lt's pretty disillusioning.

978
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,373
Are you gay?

979
00:59:45,540 --> 00:59:49,543
Not especially, but in another era,
it might have had some appeal.

980
00:59:49,711 --> 00:59:54,507
-Now l just don't see the point.
-You might be romanticizing the past.

981
00:59:54,675 --> 00:59:58,678
We'll never know. The past is gone,
so we might as well romanticize it.

982
00:59:59,513 --> 01:00:00,638
You could be right.

983
01:00:00,806 --> 01:00:03,224
l wanted to ask, how's Lily?

984
01:00:03,392 --> 01:00:04,642
Lily.

985
01:00:05,435 --> 01:00:07,144
She's okay.

986
01:00:19,866 --> 01:00:23,160
Here, check it out.
A.L.A. Nope. Hello. Good afternoon.

987
01:00:23,328 --> 01:00:26,831
Check it out. The A.L.A. Heard of it?
We have a meeting on Tuesday.

988
01:00:26,999 --> 01:00:29,792
-You should come by.
-What is the A.L.A.?

989
01:00:30,210 --> 01:00:33,421
Just join us. Come Tuesday.

990
01:00:33,839 --> 01:00:35,923
l think you'll really like it.

991
01:00:40,178 --> 01:00:42,179
So....

992
01:00:43,181 --> 01:00:47,310
A fellow was passing these out, and
invited us to a meeting on Tuesday.

993
01:00:50,647 --> 01:00:52,189
The A.L.A.?

994
01:00:52,357 --> 01:00:54,108
Oh, my God.

995
01:00:55,569 --> 01:00:58,029
l thought it was something related.

996
01:00:58,530 --> 01:01:00,156
No?

997
01:01:01,658 --> 01:01:04,076
The A.L.A. has got
nothing to do with us.

998
01:01:04,244 --> 01:01:06,287
Can't you see that?

999
01:01:08,540 --> 01:01:10,958
The way we express love
has meaning.

1000
01:01:11,126 --> 01:01:13,377
lt's in the context
of something beautiful.

1001
01:01:13,545 --> 01:01:16,881
We're following our creator's
teaching. Aspiring to an ideal.

1002
01:01:17,049 --> 01:01:20,051
A beautiful one that brings
an inexpressible closeness.

1003
01:01:20,218 --> 01:01:22,553
Not just to each other, but....

1004
01:01:23,597 --> 01:01:26,432
For the A.L.A.,
and those like them...

1005
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,393
...the love act
is just hedonistic pleasure-seeking...

1006
01:01:29,561 --> 01:01:31,562
...of a perverted nature.

1007
01:01:31,730 --> 01:01:35,066
l can't believe you'd think we had
anything in common with them.

1008
01:01:35,233 --> 01:01:36,484
We don't.

1009
01:01:36,651 --> 01:01:39,070
Nothing, not an iota.

1010
01:01:39,237 --> 01:01:41,280
My God, can't you see that?

1011
01:01:44,743 --> 01:01:47,244
Lily. Lily, come back.

1012
01:01:47,412 --> 01:01:50,623
Please. Don't be that way.

1013
01:02:44,052 --> 01:02:47,805
-Oh, my gosh, Lily. Are you okay?
-lt's all right.

1014
01:02:47,973 --> 01:02:50,558
You don't wanna talk about it?

1015
01:02:51,643 --> 01:02:52,726
l don't understand.

1016
01:02:52,894 --> 01:02:57,022
-You don't understand what?
-What is non-procreative lovemaking?

1017
01:02:57,190 --> 01:02:59,984
-lt could be a lot of things.
-Yeah, but in this case?

1018
01:03:00,152 --> 01:03:02,695
-We don't have to talk about this.
-l don't mind.

1019
01:03:02,863 --> 01:03:05,072
Could somebody explain
what this is about?

1020
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:06,365
Well, if--

1021
01:03:06,533 --> 01:03:08,868
Cathars don't believe
in procreative sex.

1022
01:03:09,035 --> 01:03:11,287
They don't have intercourse
the usual way.

1023
01:03:11,455 --> 01:03:12,788
The usual way?

1024
01:03:12,956 --> 01:03:15,624
-You don't have to talk about this.
-No, it's okay.

1025
01:03:15,792 --> 01:03:19,378
lt's the normal way, from the front
where you can have procreation...

1026
01:03:19,546 --> 01:03:23,007
...not from the other side,
where you can't.

1027
01:03:23,175 --> 01:03:26,010
The other side?
That's their religion?

1028
01:03:26,178 --> 01:03:28,762
No, but it's the direction
their beliefs head in.

1029
01:03:28,930 --> 01:03:31,182
When they express love,
that's what they do.

1030
01:03:32,809 --> 01:03:34,435
How horrible.

1031
01:03:34,728 --> 01:03:35,978
You poor girl.

1032
01:03:36,146 --> 01:03:37,438
What?

1033
01:03:37,606 --> 01:03:38,939
That's terrible...

1034
01:03:39,107 --> 01:03:41,859
...what he obliged Lily to do.

1035
01:04:03,590 --> 01:04:05,132
Violet.

1036
01:04:05,300 --> 01:04:06,967
Can we talk?

1037
01:04:16,311 --> 01:04:18,938
You must be pretty mad at me.

1038
01:04:19,105 --> 01:04:20,564
No.

1039
01:04:21,525 --> 01:04:22,733
You're not?

1040
01:04:23,985 --> 01:04:25,069
Not really.

1041
01:04:25,862 --> 01:04:28,280
But it was so terrible
how everything happened.

1042
01:04:28,448 --> 01:04:30,282
Your walking in on us.

1043
01:04:30,784 --> 01:04:32,910
Maybe it's easier that way.

1044
01:04:33,078 --> 01:04:34,620
That bitch!

1045
01:04:39,543 --> 01:04:43,212
l can't believe it. what a bitch.

1046
01:04:43,630 --> 01:04:45,589
-Priss?
-Of course Priss.

1047
01:04:46,258 --> 01:04:50,511
"l'm so stressed. Sad. Depressed.

1048
01:04:50,679 --> 01:04:54,598
l'm so tired. l'm fatigued."

1049
01:04:55,684 --> 01:04:56,892
She was so depressed...

1050
01:04:57,060 --> 01:05:00,437
...she had to get everything
her own way.

1051
01:05:00,605 --> 01:05:03,899
"l'm so stressed.

1052
01:05:05,277 --> 01:05:06,819
Frantic."

1053
01:05:06,987 --> 01:05:08,529
Man.

1054
01:05:08,697 --> 01:05:11,740
What a bitch.

1055
01:05:11,908 --> 01:05:14,118
Priss dumped you?

1056
01:05:14,286 --> 01:05:16,787
No. lt was mutual.

1057
01:05:17,414 --> 01:05:21,000
Oh, listen, l have a question.

1058
01:05:21,167 --> 01:05:24,753
You remember that bean ball
that l left in your room?

1059
01:05:24,921 --> 01:05:26,380
Yeah.

1060
01:05:26,548 --> 01:05:27,673
Do you still have it?

1061
01:05:28,550 --> 01:05:30,134
Yeah.

1062
01:05:31,136 --> 01:05:33,137
Do you think l could get it back?

1063
01:05:33,305 --> 01:05:37,057
l lost the other one,
and with everything that's happened...

1064
01:05:37,225 --> 01:05:38,976
...l'd really like to have it.

1065
01:05:39,394 --> 01:05:41,937
Nothing like some bean ball
after a breakup.

1066
01:05:42,105 --> 01:05:45,983
Yeah. God, you're smart.

1067
01:05:46,151 --> 01:05:48,152
You always get it.

1068
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:50,279
Whatever l say...

1069
01:05:50,447 --> 01:05:52,531
...you understand.

1070
01:05:52,699 --> 01:05:54,658
Man.

1071
01:06:04,294 --> 01:06:06,086
Hey, Heather.

1072
01:06:06,254 --> 01:06:07,504
-Hey.
-Hey.

1073
01:06:07,672 --> 01:06:17,014
Hey.

1074
01:06:43,458 --> 01:06:45,042
Violet.

1075
01:06:45,210 --> 01:06:46,669
Violet, what's wrong?

1076
01:06:46,836 --> 01:06:48,671
l'm sorry. Lily's lovely.

1077
01:06:49,381 --> 01:06:52,424
Now she's free. Go. l understand.

1078
01:07:09,859 --> 01:07:12,945
Latin! Et cetera!

1079
01:07:24,916 --> 01:07:27,334
-Yeah!
-Yeah!

1080
01:07:32,799 --> 01:07:35,926
This is what comes
from not teaching Latin in the schools.

1081
01:07:36,094 --> 01:07:40,055
Yeah, it's moronic and boorish, but
it's also kind of fun, don't you think?

1082
01:07:40,223 --> 01:07:41,765
No.

1083
01:07:59,242 --> 01:08:00,743
What's that stench?

1084
01:08:09,461 --> 01:08:13,255
l suppose this is what happens when
decadence rots society from within.

1085
01:08:13,423 --> 01:08:14,965
And from without.

1086
01:08:15,133 --> 01:08:17,217
Such a society is, l fear...

1087
01:08:17,385 --> 01:08:20,637
...destined to fail and be overrun.

1088
01:08:20,805 --> 01:08:22,681
Maybe that's good.

1089
01:08:34,027 --> 01:08:37,613
Finally. lt's about time those cesspools
were drained.

1090
01:08:49,167 --> 01:08:51,376
What color would you say
that chair is?

1091
01:08:51,544 --> 01:08:53,045
That's a chair?

1092
01:08:53,213 --> 01:08:55,172
l have no idea.

1093
01:08:56,841 --> 01:08:59,635
-Guys have preferences.
-You're going to accept that?

1094
01:08:59,803 --> 01:09:03,013
-You're not going to do anything?
-There's nothing to be done.

1095
01:09:03,181 --> 01:09:05,766
-Fred must know his own mind.
-Oh, really?

1096
01:09:05,934 --> 01:09:07,726
-l seriously doubt that.
-Come on.

1097
01:09:07,894 --> 01:09:10,687
Lily's got that slender,
delicately swelling beauty...

1098
01:09:10,855 --> 01:09:13,941
-...that no man can resist.
-Okay, you're probably right.

1099
01:09:14,108 --> 01:09:17,528
Poor Lily. Just think of all Xavier
put her through.

1100
01:09:19,322 --> 01:09:23,325
He just used her body.
And not even the right side.

1101
01:09:24,202 --> 01:09:27,788
Have you noticed that good people
tend to have large posteriors?

1102
01:09:27,956 --> 01:09:30,666
Not everyone, by any means.
l know it's not logical.

1103
01:09:30,834 --> 01:09:32,376
But it does seem to be true.

1104
01:09:32,544 --> 01:09:36,505
The genetic link between morality
and large posteriors?

1105
01:09:36,673 --> 01:09:38,423
Yes, l think that's well known.

1106
01:09:38,591 --> 01:09:41,301
You and Violet have that build.
lt's nice.

1107
01:09:41,469 --> 01:09:45,138
You're still very attractive,
but also sensible and moralistic.

1108
01:09:45,306 --> 01:09:50,060
l don't. l have narrow hips,
but also no very strong principles.

1109
01:09:54,065 --> 01:09:55,232
Yes?

1110
01:09:58,444 --> 01:10:00,279
Oh, hi.

1111
01:10:00,446 --> 01:10:03,031
-Hi, Frank.
-Hey, Heather.

1112
01:10:03,908 --> 01:10:05,909
So l guess you guys all heard.

1113
01:10:06,077 --> 01:10:08,579
University's closing
all the Roman Letter Houses.

1114
01:10:08,746 --> 01:10:12,624
Sorry. This year's Roman Holidays
did seem like the end of civilization...

1115
01:10:12,792 --> 01:10:16,712
...but when civilization ends people
are going to need a place to stay.

1116
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:18,755
Man.

1117
01:10:18,923 --> 01:10:20,424
lt's bad.

1118
01:10:20,592 --> 01:10:22,634
lt's that bastard
from The Complainer.

1119
01:10:22,802 --> 01:10:25,429
Someone from the administration's
been reading it.

1120
01:10:25,597 --> 01:10:27,431
Hard to believe.

1121
01:10:27,599 --> 01:10:28,807
Bastard.

1122
01:10:31,394 --> 01:10:32,978
Listen...

1123
01:10:34,272 --> 01:10:36,607
...we were wondering...

1124
01:10:36,774 --> 01:10:41,111
...if you thought it would be okay
if we stayed at the suicide center.

1125
01:10:42,322 --> 01:10:45,782
Okay, sure. That sounds like
a good stopgap measure.

1126
01:10:45,950 --> 01:10:48,327
Thank you. Thank you.

1127
01:10:51,039 --> 01:10:53,415
So there's one more thing.

1128
01:10:53,958 --> 01:10:56,001
Remember that bean ball
we talked about?

1129
01:10:56,169 --> 01:10:57,628
Yes.

1130
01:10:57,837 --> 01:11:00,172
You think l could pick that up?

1131
01:11:00,340 --> 01:11:03,759
Just after everything
that's happened, it--

1132
01:11:03,927 --> 01:11:06,720
l could really use it right now.

1133
01:11:06,888 --> 01:11:08,138
Yes.

1134
01:11:15,104 --> 01:11:16,813
-What's that?
-What?

1135
01:11:16,981 --> 01:11:18,148
The note.

1136
01:11:18,316 --> 01:11:21,777
One gets so few things written
by hand anymore, l guess l kept it.

1137
01:11:22,362 --> 01:11:25,739
"Out for brewskis, back in a giff."

1138
01:11:25,907 --> 01:11:27,658
What's a giff?

1139
01:11:27,825 --> 01:11:30,035
lt's the scooter.
Like a Vespa, right?

1140
01:11:30,203 --> 01:11:33,330
-That's what l thought.
-l was thinking about getting one.

1141
01:11:33,498 --> 01:11:36,625
You must've meant "jiff."
"Back in a jiff."

1142
01:11:36,793 --> 01:11:41,588
And then misspelled it,
or spelled it in a nonstandard way.

1143
01:11:42,423 --> 01:11:44,716
Yeah. Not a good speller.

1144
01:11:52,892 --> 01:11:54,351
Thanks.

1145
01:11:54,811 --> 01:11:58,855
You're great.
Priss was such a bitch.

1146
01:11:59,023 --> 01:12:02,776
Damn.

1147
01:12:06,531 --> 01:12:07,656
Hey, Heather.

1148
01:12:12,370 --> 01:12:16,623
Bye.

1149
01:12:17,542 --> 01:12:19,501
-Bye.
-Bye.

1150
01:12:24,382 --> 01:12:27,384
Heather is really cute.

1151
01:12:27,969 --> 01:12:31,138
She going out with anyone?

1152
01:12:31,305 --> 01:12:33,724
There might be something
between her and Thor.

1153
01:12:33,891 --> 01:12:35,642
Thor?

1154
01:12:36,644 --> 01:12:39,396
Damn. Heather and Thor?

1155
01:12:41,357 --> 01:12:43,066
Damn.

1156
01:12:47,030 --> 01:12:49,823
l'm worried about Thor.
lt's hard for us to imagine...

1157
01:12:49,991 --> 01:12:52,409
...how upsetting it is
not knowing the colors.

1158
01:12:52,577 --> 01:12:54,619
lt's impossible for me to imagine.

1159
01:12:54,787 --> 01:12:57,831
When Thor sees a rainbow,
it's so much gibberish to him.

1160
01:12:57,999 --> 01:13:01,209
There was one this afternoon.
Oh, my gosh, he took it hard.

1161
01:13:01,377 --> 01:13:03,587
Recently, there was a parade
in the city...

1162
01:13:03,755 --> 01:13:07,090
...where the marchers carried
rainbow-colored flags and banners.

1163
01:13:07,258 --> 01:13:09,760
Thor was so upset.
He had no idea what it meant.

1164
01:13:09,927 --> 01:13:11,428
What kind of retard is he?

1165
01:13:11,596 --> 01:13:13,889
See, that's the conclusion
people jump to.

1166
01:13:14,057 --> 01:13:17,768
-Well, it is somewhat understandable.
-Not if you knew the full story.

1167
01:13:17,935 --> 01:13:19,102
What's the full story?

1168
01:13:19,270 --> 01:13:21,313
You know how parents
love bragging...

1169
01:13:21,481 --> 01:13:24,149
...about how precocious
their children are?

1170
01:13:24,317 --> 01:13:26,735
Thor's parents
had become precocity addicts...

1171
01:13:26,903 --> 01:13:29,946
...constantly needing
an ever-greater precocity fix.

1172
01:13:30,114 --> 01:13:33,700
He should've entered kindergarten.
They pushed him into first grade.

1173
01:13:33,868 --> 01:13:36,036
"Thor skipped a grade,"
they could tell.

1174
01:13:36,204 --> 01:13:40,082
What Thor's parents failed to consider
is the work done in nursery school.

1175
01:13:40,249 --> 01:13:43,460
Key being the study of colors.
l suppose they just assumed...

1176
01:13:43,628 --> 01:13:46,129
...that colors are knowledge
people pick up.

1177
01:13:46,297 --> 01:13:49,758
Like, for example,
not stepping on sidewalk cracks.

1178
01:13:49,926 --> 01:13:51,802
What's that?

1179
01:13:51,969 --> 01:13:53,929
l think Rose is sleeping.

1180
01:13:55,473 --> 01:13:56,973
Am l boring?

1181
01:13:57,141 --> 01:13:58,600
No, not at all.

1182
01:13:59,102 --> 01:14:02,979
When you have problems, it's great
to hear someone else's idiotic ones.

1183
01:14:03,147 --> 01:14:04,981
Please go on.

1184
01:14:07,318 --> 01:14:08,819
-What?
-What you said about...

1185
01:14:08,986 --> 01:14:11,655
...depressed people being mean,
you weren't joking.

1186
01:14:11,823 --> 01:14:14,449
l'm sorry, you're right. Please go on.

1187
01:14:15,284 --> 01:14:16,701
No.

1188
01:14:16,869 --> 01:14:20,997
l'm sorry. You know how l am.
Please continue.

1189
01:14:23,835 --> 01:14:26,670
Thor decided he absolutely
had to learn all the colors.

1190
01:14:26,838 --> 01:14:28,797
Both primary and mixed.

1191
01:14:28,965 --> 01:14:32,551
He's been hitting the books hard,
and thought he'd mastered them.

1192
01:14:32,718 --> 01:14:35,428
Then, in town, he said,
"That traffic light's blue."

1193
01:14:35,596 --> 01:14:37,597
l had to say, "No, it's green."

1194
01:14:37,765 --> 01:14:38,849
He was really upset.

1195
01:14:39,016 --> 01:14:40,183
Oh, hi, Lily.

1196
01:14:40,810 --> 01:14:41,893
Hi.

1197
01:14:42,061 --> 01:14:43,979
We were worried about you.

1198
01:14:47,358 --> 01:14:49,693
I can't bear this tension with Lily.

1199
01:14:49,861 --> 01:14:52,362
lt's terrible to have the group
divided this way.

1200
01:14:52,530 --> 01:14:54,072
Better not next to Robertson.

1201
01:14:55,491 --> 01:14:56,908
What?

1202
01:14:57,076 --> 01:14:58,869
Didn't you hear?

1203
01:14:59,036 --> 01:15:01,371
Ed students have been going
up to the roof...

1204
01:15:01,539 --> 01:15:03,874
...and throwing themselves off.

1205
01:15:05,251 --> 01:15:07,669
-But it's only two stories.
-Yes, l know.

1206
01:15:07,837 --> 01:15:11,173
lt's terrible. Not high enough to kill,
but high enough to maim.

1207
01:15:11,340 --> 01:15:14,050
And particularly dangerous
for anyone below.

1208
01:15:14,218 --> 01:15:16,720
l've got to forget about Fred.

1209
01:15:17,180 --> 01:15:18,597
But you really liked him.

1210
01:15:18,764 --> 01:15:23,935
This whole thing of a person meeting
someone else first, it's so arbitrary.

1211
01:15:24,103 --> 01:15:29,232
-lt's terrible and cruel.
-l have to say, l was wrong about Fred.

1212
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:31,818
l thought he was a playboy
or operator type.

1213
01:15:31,986 --> 01:15:34,654
ln fact, he's just another guy
rendered helpless...

1214
01:15:34,822 --> 01:15:39,910
-...by the attentions of a pretty girl.
-Cary! No, don't! l love you!

1215
01:15:40,077 --> 01:15:42,245
-Why did you do that?
-Oh, my God!

1216
01:15:42,413 --> 01:15:44,414
Cary, l love you!

1217
01:15:46,167 --> 01:15:49,127
lsn't the Ed School
essentially a teacher's college?

1218
01:15:49,295 --> 01:15:50,420
Yeah.

1219
01:15:50,588 --> 01:15:53,048
lf they can't even
destroy themselves...

1220
01:15:53,216 --> 01:15:56,259
...how are they going to teach
America's youth?

1221
01:16:26,290 --> 01:16:29,292
-What do you think you're doing?
-Sorry. Did l disturb you?

1222
01:16:29,460 --> 01:16:32,170
Why are you wearing tap shoes?
You out of your mind?

1223
01:16:32,505 --> 01:16:35,465
-l think that's pretty clear.
-l'm so sick of that.

1224
01:16:35,633 --> 01:16:37,259
Oh, really? l think it's cute.

1225
01:16:37,426 --> 01:16:41,721
Since you won't be treating us to
one of your incompetent tap routines...

1226
01:16:41,889 --> 01:16:45,809
-...why don't you take those things off?
-No. We'll do the routine. Rose.

1227
01:16:45,977 --> 01:16:49,479
-Madge wants to see the routine.
-l don't want to see your routine.

1228
01:16:49,647 --> 01:16:52,190
-l asked you to take those off.
-We need a break.

1229
01:16:52,358 --> 01:16:53,483
Just briefly, please.

1230
01:16:53,651 --> 01:16:56,528
lt's helpful to have an audience.
Rose, the music.

1231
01:16:56,696 --> 01:16:58,405
l'm gonna report you.

1232
01:17:26,517 --> 01:17:28,143
Suzanne.

1233
01:17:28,311 --> 01:17:32,689
For me, it'd be Madame Curie,
Simone de Beauvoir...

1234
01:17:32,857 --> 01:17:35,358
-...and Margaret Sanger.
-Good.

1235
01:17:36,277 --> 01:17:37,569
Violet.

1236
01:17:37,737 --> 01:17:39,654
l would say...

1237
01:17:40,406 --> 01:17:42,574
...Richard Strauss,
Roderick Charleston...

1238
01:17:42,742 --> 01:17:44,576
...and Chubbard Checker.

1239
01:17:44,744 --> 01:17:49,039
-Richard Strauss? The composer?
-Yes, that was one of his posts.

1240
01:17:49,206 --> 01:17:52,625
l'm not familiar with the others.
Could you tell us who they are?

1241
01:17:52,793 --> 01:17:56,129
Yes. Each one of these men
started an international dance craze.

1242
01:17:56,297 --> 01:17:59,632
Richard Strauss, the waltz.
Roderick Charleston, the Charleston.

1243
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:01,718
Chubbard Checker,
known as Chubby...

1244
01:18:01,886 --> 01:18:03,678
...the dance we know as the twist.

1245
01:18:03,846 --> 01:18:06,097
Why do you consider
a dance craze important?

1246
01:18:06,265 --> 01:18:09,601
Dance crazes enhance
and elevate the human experience...

1247
01:18:09,769 --> 01:18:11,936
...bringing together
millions of people...

1248
01:18:12,104 --> 01:18:15,065
...in a joyous celebration
of our God-given faculties...

1249
01:18:15,232 --> 01:18:17,901
...and passing these modes
of physical expression...

1250
01:18:18,069 --> 01:18:21,404
...down through the generations.
Though not so much anymore.

1251
01:18:21,572 --> 01:18:24,199
l thought--
Well, l assumed that the Charleston...

1252
01:18:24,367 --> 01:18:26,826
...was named after
the city of Charleston.

1253
01:18:26,994 --> 01:18:29,954
No. Though that misconception
is quite widely held.

1254
01:18:30,122 --> 01:18:32,290
lt was Roderick Charleston.

1255
01:18:32,458 --> 01:18:35,502
Usually, behind some
great creative phenomenon...

1256
01:18:35,669 --> 01:18:38,088
...there's a person, not a town.

1257
01:18:38,255 --> 01:18:41,174
This is so exciting.
lt's really great, isn't it?

1258
01:18:41,342 --> 01:18:43,760
-Hey, could you guys help?
-Sure. What's up?

1259
01:18:43,928 --> 01:18:45,428
We need help packing soap...

1260
01:18:45,596 --> 01:18:48,139
...which we'll distribute
to Doar Dorm residents.

1261
01:18:48,307 --> 01:18:49,474
Cool.

1262
01:18:49,642 --> 01:18:52,852
What would you say are effective
means to fight depression?

1263
01:18:53,020 --> 01:18:56,398
Maybe some of your DU brothers
have an idea?

1264
01:18:58,859 --> 01:19:01,778
-Beer?
-No. Beer's a downer.

1265
01:19:01,946 --> 01:19:06,032
Cocktails. Hard liquor and spirits
is what really gives you a lift.

1266
01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:07,784
lt's interesting what you say.

1267
01:19:07,952 --> 01:19:11,454
My cousin Jay is a medical officer
in Philadelphia.

1268
01:19:11,622 --> 01:19:12,956
He says that alcoholism...

1269
01:19:13,124 --> 01:19:16,459
...by which l mean chronic,
excessive consumption of alcohol...

1270
01:19:16,627 --> 01:19:19,838
...is the primary self-administered
treatment for depression.

1271
01:19:20,005 --> 01:19:21,297
-Cool.
-No.

1272
01:19:21,465 --> 01:19:23,842
lt leaves you much worse off
than before.

1273
01:19:24,009 --> 01:19:26,719
Oh, no, not me.
l just boot and then l feel fine.

1274
01:19:26,887 --> 01:19:31,099
-By "boot" do you mean vomit?
-Yes.

1275
01:19:31,267 --> 01:19:35,645
No. None of the effective anti-suicide
treatments involve vomiting.

1276
01:19:36,939 --> 01:19:39,315
-Hygiene?
-Exactly.

1277
01:19:39,483 --> 01:19:40,775
lt's very important.

1278
01:19:40,943 --> 01:19:43,361
That's why we have such hope
in the wonder bar.

1279
01:19:43,529 --> 01:19:45,196
Do you know its scent?

1280
01:19:50,953 --> 01:19:53,830
Transformative, we think.

1281
01:19:55,875 --> 01:19:58,877
This is so exciting.
When should we go over there?

1282
01:19:59,044 --> 01:20:01,838
-l don't think there's any rush.
-l'd like to go soon.

1283
01:20:02,006 --> 01:20:06,009
Doar Dorm has the highest fatality
rate, as well as the worst hygiene.

1284
01:20:06,177 --> 01:20:07,260
Highest suicide rate.

1285
01:20:07,428 --> 01:20:10,847
Fatality rate. lt's uncertain
what percentage were intentional...

1286
01:20:11,015 --> 01:20:14,309
...and how many were just due
to unawareness of gravity's laws.

1287
01:20:14,477 --> 01:20:18,188
l can just see those guys getting
the gold packages, opening them...

1288
01:20:18,355 --> 01:20:20,690
...and finding
the good-smelling soap inside.

1289
01:20:20,858 --> 01:20:23,193
The cute packaging
should prove irresistible.

1290
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:26,613
And once clean, they'll start
to see the world with new eyes.

1291
01:20:26,780 --> 01:20:28,323
The change could be dramatic.

1292
01:20:28,491 --> 01:20:31,493
Doar Dorm
could soon become Dior Dorm.

1293
01:20:32,286 --> 01:20:35,121
l doubt that,
to be perfectly, absolutely honest.

1294
01:20:35,289 --> 01:20:37,957
l love the idea. Dior Dorm.

1295
01:20:38,125 --> 01:20:40,835
l adore optimism,
even when it's completely absurd.

1296
01:20:41,003 --> 01:20:44,547
-Perhaps especially then.
-Great. Ready? Let's go.

1297
01:20:46,675 --> 01:20:48,176
Let's hurry.

1298
01:20:48,344 --> 01:20:50,845
Let's not get our hopes up too high,
Heather.

1299
01:20:51,013 --> 01:20:54,974
No, you said yourself,
the wonder bar is transformative.

1300
01:20:55,142 --> 01:20:57,393
-Hey, Violet. Hi.
-Hi.

1301
01:20:57,561 --> 01:20:59,479
-Where you going?
-Doar Dorm.

1302
01:20:59,647 --> 01:21:02,482
-Fred, hi.
-Hey.

1303
01:21:06,695 --> 01:21:08,238
Good one.

1304
01:21:09,198 --> 01:21:10,907
Oh, no.

1305
01:21:22,044 --> 01:21:23,920
Oh, my God.

1306
01:21:24,088 --> 01:21:27,423
l guess it wasn't realistic
to expect Doar Dorm...

1307
01:21:27,591 --> 01:21:29,926
...to turn into Dior Dorm overnight.

1308
01:21:30,094 --> 01:21:31,636
They wouldn't even open them.

1309
01:21:31,804 --> 01:21:35,431
They said without the soap,
the discs wouldn't fly properly.

1310
01:21:35,599 --> 01:21:39,269
Are you coming Friday?
Violet's launching her dance craze.

1311
01:21:39,436 --> 01:21:40,895
Oh, really? That's great.

1312
01:21:41,063 --> 01:21:43,064
-What's the dance?
-The Sambola.

1313
01:21:43,232 --> 01:21:44,607
The devil's dance.

1314
01:21:44,775 --> 01:21:48,486
-Oh, cool. We'll go, right?
-Yes, l'd like to.

1315
01:21:48,654 --> 01:21:53,116
But l have several papers to finish.
But l'd like to.

1316
01:22:11,885 --> 01:22:14,554
Great. Thanks, Gus.

1317
01:22:14,722 --> 01:22:19,309
l don't see how we're going to start
a dance craze if no guys show up.

1318
01:22:19,768 --> 01:22:22,562
Most guys aren't very good
with the dance-craze thing.

1319
01:22:22,730 --> 01:22:25,815
Very good news. l was just
in my procrastination seminar...

1320
01:22:25,983 --> 01:22:29,110
...and the two guys
from Doar Dorm had showered.

1321
01:22:29,278 --> 01:22:32,488
lt was clear they'd used soap.
Oh, my gosh, what a difference.

1322
01:22:32,656 --> 01:22:36,784
Seems they'd been throwing packages
so energetically, a soap bar fell out.

1323
01:22:36,952 --> 01:22:39,579
The unfamiliar ivory-like object
intrigued them...

1324
01:22:39,747 --> 01:22:42,206
...and one thing
led to another, and, well....

1325
01:22:42,374 --> 01:22:44,542
lt was just as you said.
lsn't that great?

1326
01:22:44,710 --> 01:22:47,795
-Oh, look, here's Jimbo.
-Jimbo doesn't count.

1327
01:22:49,673 --> 01:22:51,507
Where is everybody?

1328
01:23:00,225 --> 01:23:03,269
Aren't we gonna be late
for Violet's dance craze?

1329
01:23:03,437 --> 01:23:04,562
You wanna go to that?

1330
01:23:05,189 --> 01:23:06,481
Yeah.

1331
01:23:06,649 --> 01:23:09,859
-You're kidding.
-No, l love dance crazes.

1332
01:23:11,111 --> 01:23:12,487
Gosh, you're strange.

1333
01:23:13,197 --> 01:23:14,947
But aren't we already late?

1334
01:23:15,115 --> 01:23:17,325
No, it's later on. Like 1 0, l think.

1335
01:23:18,369 --> 01:23:21,996
l have to confess, l've started
losing patience with Violet.

1336
01:23:22,164 --> 01:23:25,291
Depression calls
for serious treatment.

1337
01:23:25,459 --> 01:23:28,461
Medication.
Psychopharmaceuticals.

1338
01:23:28,629 --> 01:23:30,004
Talk therapy.

1339
01:23:30,172 --> 01:23:33,800
Are those approaches effective?
Despite the medication and therapy...

1340
01:23:33,967 --> 01:23:38,221
...Ed School students are still throwing
themselves off Robertson Hall.

1341
01:23:38,389 --> 01:23:41,182
Violet's ideas
might seem a little offbeat--

1342
01:23:41,350 --> 01:23:45,561
A little? Oh, my God. l don't know
how much you know about Violet...

1343
01:23:45,729 --> 01:23:47,897
...but there's some
pretty weird stuff.

1344
01:23:48,065 --> 01:23:50,066
You know, Violet. Violet Wister.

1345
01:23:50,234 --> 01:23:51,943
lt's not even her real name.

1346
01:23:52,111 --> 01:23:54,404
-lt isn't?
-No, it's Emily Tweeter.

1347
01:23:54,988 --> 01:23:57,573
When she was 1 1 ,
she went completely crazy...

1348
01:23:57,741 --> 01:24:00,368
...and has had several
relapses since.

1349
01:24:00,536 --> 01:24:05,164
So it's a little worrisome to have her
counsel nearly suicidal individuals.

1350
01:24:05,332 --> 01:24:07,166
l can't believe it.

1351
01:24:07,334 --> 01:24:10,128
-What?
-Emily Tweeter.

1352
01:24:10,295 --> 01:24:13,756
ln first grade, l had an enormous crush
on a girl with that name.

1353
01:24:14,717 --> 01:24:17,135
-And you remember that?
-Yeah.

1354
01:24:18,387 --> 01:24:20,388
Pretty huge Dr. Zhivago stuff.

1355
01:24:20,556 --> 01:24:23,641
Any idea or even mention of her
filled me with emotion.

1356
01:24:23,809 --> 01:24:25,935
l had a strange perspective
on the world.

1357
01:24:26,103 --> 01:24:28,730
l don't think my brain
was functioning properly.

1358
01:24:28,897 --> 01:24:31,149
Everything was a bit of a dream.

1359
01:24:32,151 --> 01:24:33,609
You think this was Violet?

1360
01:24:33,777 --> 01:24:36,863
You have any idea if Violet
attended willamette Montessori?

1361
01:24:37,030 --> 01:24:38,740
ln Portland?

1362
01:24:39,324 --> 01:24:43,077
-We didn't order these.
-Compliments of the guy at the bar.

1363
01:24:53,464 --> 01:24:56,299
lt was so brutal
how it ended between us.

1364
01:24:57,176 --> 01:24:59,469
l know l was too angry
and a bit crazy...

1365
01:24:59,636 --> 01:25:02,889
...but l thought that what we had
was stronger than that.

1366
01:25:03,056 --> 01:25:06,642
That you would not just walk away
after one disagreement.

1367
01:25:07,895 --> 01:25:10,271
lt wasn't just that.

1368
01:25:10,689 --> 01:25:13,316
You mean my Cathar beliefs.

1369
01:25:14,818 --> 01:25:16,152
Well...

1370
01:25:18,238 --> 01:25:21,365
...l am no longer a Cathar.

1371
01:25:22,493 --> 01:25:23,701
How is that possible?

1372
01:25:24,244 --> 01:25:26,537
lt's been very difficult.

1373
01:25:27,039 --> 01:25:29,707
You've dropped your adherence
to the Cathar faith?

1374
01:25:29,875 --> 01:25:32,835
-Yes, l have.
-Good.

1375
01:25:33,003 --> 01:25:37,840
Normally l'd be reluctant to comment
on anyone's religion, but....

1376
01:25:38,008 --> 01:25:39,509
What?

1377
01:25:40,385 --> 01:25:43,471
l'm sorry. l guess--
l guess l'm a bit of a bigot. l just--

1378
01:25:43,639 --> 01:25:47,934
l could never take seriously any
religion that worships on Tuesdays.

1379
01:25:48,393 --> 01:25:52,355
Major religions require worship on the
weekend. Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

1380
01:25:52,523 --> 01:25:54,732
l find it just really laudatory...

1381
01:25:54,900 --> 01:25:58,110
...that people sacrifice
their weekend time to worship God.

1382
01:26:00,405 --> 01:26:05,117
Having the Sabbath on Tuesday
always seemed very bizarre to me.

1383
01:26:05,702 --> 01:26:07,703
lt's not right.

1384
01:26:07,871 --> 01:26:10,873
You know what?
We'd better get to the Lone Star.

1385
01:26:11,542 --> 01:26:13,793
Why are you so concerned
about that?

1386
01:26:13,961 --> 01:26:17,922
Well, it's not as if international
dance crazes start every day.

1387
01:26:22,219 --> 01:26:23,886
We'd better hurry.

1388
01:26:32,312 --> 01:26:33,938
What's wrong?

1389
01:26:34,106 --> 01:26:36,315
Another fiasco.

1390
01:26:40,571 --> 01:26:43,614
Sometimes our struggle reminds me
of the myth of Sisyphus.

1391
01:26:43,782 --> 01:26:45,408
-Who?
-The myth about the guy...

1392
01:26:45,576 --> 01:26:49,078
...who pushes an enormous rock
only to have it keep rolling back.

1393
01:26:49,246 --> 01:26:51,289
Oh, yeah. What a knucklehead.

1394
01:26:51,456 --> 01:26:54,417
The important thing to remember
is that he was mythical.

1395
01:26:54,585 --> 01:26:56,919
He never really existed.

1396
01:26:57,838 --> 01:27:00,715
Violet? Did you spend any part
of your education...

1397
01:27:00,883 --> 01:27:02,925
...at Willamette Montessori?

1398
01:27:03,093 --> 01:27:04,427
ln Oregon?

1399
01:27:05,053 --> 01:27:06,512
Why?

1400
01:27:08,223 --> 01:27:11,142
Sound like "tweaker."

1401
01:27:11,310 --> 01:27:14,270
Would you say today is very gray?

1402
01:27:14,438 --> 01:27:16,439
l'd say so. Maybe blue-gray.

1403
01:27:17,774 --> 01:27:20,443
Yeah, no, that rings a bell now.

1404
01:27:22,070 --> 01:27:23,696
Bye.

1405
01:27:23,864 --> 01:27:27,283
l'm sorry. Her name wasn't
Emily Tweeter, but Lucy Wurlitzer.

1406
01:27:27,451 --> 01:27:31,120
They're not similar. l'm beginning
to realize that the human memory...

1407
01:27:31,288 --> 01:27:34,457
...is not the foolproof instrument
we sometimes imagine.

1408
01:27:34,625 --> 01:27:38,669
What's worse, everyone knew about
my obsession, including my parents...

1409
01:27:38,837 --> 01:27:41,130
...those from whom
l most wanted it kept.

1410
01:27:41,298 --> 01:27:46,510
So from your earliest years, you were
already a playboy or operator type?

1411
01:27:46,678 --> 01:27:49,680
Yes. l suppose that's why secrecy
seemed so desirable.

1412
01:27:52,184 --> 01:27:54,352
Violet, can we talk?

1413
01:28:00,734 --> 01:28:03,235
-What's the plural of doofus?
-Doufi.

1414
01:28:03,403 --> 01:28:04,987
Not doofuses?

1415
01:28:05,155 --> 01:28:06,614
You can say either.

1416
01:28:06,782 --> 01:28:09,367
"Doufi" respects the Latin root
and is preferred.

1417
01:28:09,534 --> 01:28:13,287
"Doofuses" is also correct,
although a bit inelegant.

1418
01:28:13,455 --> 01:28:16,248
-You've thought a lot about this.
-Yes, l've had to.

1419
01:28:17,584 --> 01:28:19,585
Why? What is it?

1420
01:28:21,672 --> 01:28:25,967
l like Fred, he's a nice guy.
And l can see why you like him.

1421
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:30,346
When l first met you and Rose,
l thought you were the cool crowd.

1422
01:28:30,514 --> 01:28:34,392
And in many ways you are. l find your
perfume and fashion sense excellent.

1423
01:28:34,559 --> 01:28:36,060
Thank you.

1424
01:28:36,228 --> 01:28:38,020
But there's a reason, l think...

1425
01:28:38,188 --> 01:28:43,651
...why you are
so strongly attracted to...

1426
01:28:44,194 --> 01:28:45,820
...doufi.

1427
01:28:45,988 --> 01:28:49,240
And it's not an accident
how different groups divide up.

1428
01:28:49,408 --> 01:28:50,533
lsn't that a rainbow?

1429
01:28:50,701 --> 01:28:52,535
-That's a rainbow!
-Thor.

1430
01:28:52,703 --> 01:28:55,538
No, Thor! Thor, no! Stop!

1431
01:28:56,248 --> 01:28:58,374
Please, stop!

1432
01:29:03,380 --> 01:29:05,840
He's headed for Robertson Hall!

1433
01:29:16,768 --> 01:29:18,519
Red. Orange.

1434
01:29:18,687 --> 01:29:22,189
Yellow. Green. Blue. lndigo.

1435
01:29:22,899 --> 01:29:26,485
Hallelujah! Lord God, thank you.

1436
01:29:28,572 --> 01:29:30,531
Education. Education.

1437
01:29:30,699 --> 01:29:33,576
We can learn the subjects
we set out to master...

1438
01:29:33,744 --> 01:29:37,580
...no matter how hard
or impossible they may seem.

1439
01:29:37,748 --> 01:29:39,457
Thank you.

1440
01:29:39,624 --> 01:29:42,793
Thank you.
l wasn't sure l was gonna make it.

1441
01:29:44,254 --> 01:29:45,254
Magenta.

1442
01:29:46,882 --> 01:29:49,967
Pink. Mauve.

1443
01:29:53,180 --> 01:29:56,265
l miss my nice American friend.

1444
01:29:56,433 --> 01:29:58,100
No, you're mistaken.

1445
01:29:58,268 --> 01:30:01,604
-You go to London for four weeks?
-Six.

1446
01:30:03,273 --> 01:30:05,900
lt's dangerous,
parents letting children travel.

1447
01:30:06,068 --> 01:30:09,779
They send them off and they don't
know what they'll be getting back.

1448
01:30:10,447 --> 01:30:12,782
l don't know what you're referring to.

1449
01:30:13,700 --> 01:30:15,493
You're not from London.

1450
01:30:16,745 --> 01:30:20,372
l'm from London.
l was there, now l'm here.

1451
01:30:20,540 --> 01:30:21,916
l'm from London.

1452
01:30:22,501 --> 01:30:24,418
l just miss my nice American friend.

1453
01:30:25,629 --> 01:30:26,837
Nice?

1454
01:30:27,005 --> 01:30:30,466
Nice? Fine. l'm fine.

1455
01:30:31,635 --> 01:30:34,178
Those are not adjectives
l like to use.

1456
01:30:34,346 --> 01:30:37,681
God gave us abilities.
He requires that we use them.

1457
01:30:37,849 --> 01:30:42,144
Good, better, best,
excelsior, higher.

1458
01:30:42,646 --> 01:30:44,980
Only excellence
can glorify the Lord.

1459
01:30:45,148 --> 01:30:47,608
Vulgarity is, in essence,
blasphemous.

1460
01:30:52,739 --> 01:30:55,116
l'm sorry
for what l was saying before.

1461
01:30:55,283 --> 01:30:57,493
Of course you're not linked
to the doufi...

1462
01:30:57,661 --> 01:31:00,162
...or even
that such distinctions are valid.

1463
01:31:00,330 --> 01:31:05,876
No, don't apologize.
l probably do have a doufi orientation.

1464
01:31:06,670 --> 01:31:11,173
But behind coolness,
isn't there a certain repressing...

1465
01:31:11,341 --> 01:31:15,344
...squashing down, or lack
of cultivation of one's humanity?

1466
01:31:15,512 --> 01:31:20,349
Oh, so you think that cool people
have less humanity?

1467
01:31:20,517 --> 01:31:23,477
No, l don't think cool people
are entirely inhuman.

1468
01:31:23,645 --> 01:31:25,938
Just enough to be cool.

1469
01:31:26,523 --> 01:31:28,899
ln our society,
there's all this propaganda...

1470
01:31:29,067 --> 01:31:32,695
...in favor of uniqueness,
eccentricity, et cetera.

1471
01:31:32,863 --> 01:31:37,825
But does the world really want
or need more of such traits?

1472
01:31:38,243 --> 01:31:41,912
Aren't such people
usually terrible pains in the neck?

1473
01:31:42,414 --> 01:31:44,498
What the world needs
to work properly...

1474
01:31:44,666 --> 01:31:48,043
...is a large mass of normal people.

1475
01:31:48,211 --> 01:31:50,337
l would like to be one of those.

1476
01:31:50,505 --> 01:31:52,089
Sorry.

1477
01:31:52,924 --> 01:31:55,217
But you'll still do the part?

1478
01:31:56,761 --> 01:31:58,637
Yeah, of course.

1479
01:32:06,229 --> 01:32:07,980
So do you know every number...

1480
01:32:08,148 --> 01:32:11,901
-...in every Fred Astaire movie?
-There were two in our school musical.

1481
01:32:12,068 --> 01:32:14,737
-l know those.
-Did performing those two numbers...

1482
01:32:14,905 --> 01:32:18,991
...help you overcome feelings
of discouragement and despair?

1483
01:32:19,159 --> 01:32:20,951
Absolutely.

1484
01:32:21,828 --> 01:32:23,370
Freak.

1485
01:35:08,244 --> 01:35:12,581
Hey, everybody,
let's do the Sambola.

1486
