1
00:00:18,763 --> 00:00:21,733
Three things are
important in History.

2
00:00:21,733 --> 00:00:23,335
First of all, numbers...

3
00:00:23,335 --> 00:00:25,970
secondly, numbers...

4
00:00:25,970 --> 00:00:27,961
and thirdly, numbers.

5
00:00:29,507 --> 00:00:31,876
This means, for example...

6
00:00:31,876 --> 00:00:34,179
the blacks in South Africa...

7
00:00:34,179 --> 00:00:37,415
are bound to win some day...

8
00:00:37,415 --> 00:00:42,011
while Nonh American blacks
will probably never make it.

9
00:00:43,154 --> 00:00:46,715
Histoy is not a moral science.

10
00:00:48,259 --> 00:00:51,353
Legality, compassion, justice...

11
00:00:52,597 --> 00:00:55,657
such notions are
foreign to histoy.

12
00:03:45,203 --> 00:03:48,806
lnterview with Dominique
Starnaud, by Diane L�onard...

13
00:03:48,806 --> 00:03:50,967
for, Writers Today.

14
00:03:54,212 --> 00:03:57,582
You're Chairperson of
the Histoy Depanment...

15
00:03:57,582 --> 00:04:02,921
and you've just published
Changing Concepts of Happiness.

16
00:04:02,921 --> 00:04:04,956
Can you tell us about it?

17
00:04:04,956 --> 00:04:09,827
lt's my premise that the
concept of personal happiness...

18
00:04:09,827 --> 00:04:14,399
permeates the literature
of a nation or civilization...

19
00:04:14,399 --> 00:04:17,068
as its influence wanes.

20
00:04:17,068 --> 00:04:19,704
What do you mean by
''personal happiness''?

21
00:04:19,704 --> 00:04:23,074
The expectation
of receiving...

22
00:04:23,074 --> 00:04:25,310
instant gratification
in daily life...

23
00:04:25,310 --> 00:04:28,813
and that this
gratification constitutes...

24
00:04:28,813 --> 00:04:31,616
the normative
parameter of existence.

25
00:04:31,616 --> 00:04:34,551
Can you give us
a concrete example?

26
00:04:36,421 --> 00:04:40,358
Take marriage, for instance.

27
00:04:40,358 --> 00:04:42,360
ln stable societies, marriage

28
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,262
is a mode of
economic exchange...

29
00:04:44,262 --> 00:04:46,030
or a unit of production.

30
00:04:46,030 --> 00:04:47,665
Meaning?

31
00:04:47,665 --> 00:04:50,268
The success of a
marriage doesn't depend

32
00:04:50,268 --> 00:04:54,272
on the personal happiness
of the 2 individuals.

33
00:04:54,272 --> 00:04:57,542
The issue never even comes up.

34
00:04:57,542 --> 00:05:00,445
A developing society
places greater imponance...

35
00:05:00,445 --> 00:05:03,214
on the collective good,
orfuture happiness...

36
00:05:03,214 --> 00:05:05,648
than on personal satisfaction.

37
00:05:07,652 --> 00:05:09,520
ln Rome, for example...

38
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,023
the idea of conjugal
love first prevails

39
00:05:12,023 --> 00:05:14,292
in the 3rd centuy,
under Diocletian...

40
00:05:14,292 --> 00:05:16,694
as the Empire is collapsing.

41
00:05:16,694 --> 00:05:20,932
And in Europe, Rousseau's
idea ofhappiness...

42
00:05:20,932 --> 00:05:23,867
ushered in the
French Revolution.

43
00:05:25,136 --> 00:05:27,105
So l pose the question:

44
00:05:27,105 --> 00:05:29,807
ls the frantic drive
for personal happiness...

45
00:05:29,807 --> 00:05:31,976
we see in society today...

46
00:05:31,976 --> 00:05:35,947
linked to the decline
of the American empire...

47
00:05:35,947 --> 00:05:38,416
as we are now experiencing it?

48
00:05:38,416 --> 00:05:41,019
How's that?

49
00:05:41,019 --> 00:05:44,322
l need another 5 minutes.
Milan Kundera didn't show.

50
00:05:44,322 --> 00:05:45,890
Just stretch it out.

51
00:05:45,890 --> 00:05:47,291
How?

52
00:05:47,291 --> 00:05:51,625
Social disintegration,
decay of the elites, you know.

53
00:05:56,234 --> 00:05:59,470
Strange that she barely
mentions women in her book.

54
00:05:59,470 --> 00:06:00,872
lt wasn't her subject.

55
00:06:00,872 --> 00:06:01,973
Still...

56
00:06:01,973 --> 00:06:03,574
To ignore it...

57
00:06:03,574 --> 00:06:08,179
Who'd want to equate feminine
powerwith social decay?

58
00:06:08,179 --> 00:06:12,050
But women's rise to power has
always been linked to decline.

59
00:06:12,050 --> 00:06:13,918
lt's symptomatic.

60
00:06:13,918 --> 00:06:15,753
You can tell herthat later.

61
00:06:15,753 --> 00:06:17,015
Thanks!

62
00:06:18,856 --> 00:06:20,858
Speaking of feminine power...

63
00:06:20,858 --> 00:06:24,929
you should see the
Vietnamese girl in my class!

64
00:06:24,929 --> 00:06:27,665
With Orientals,
l have this feeling...

65
00:06:27,665 --> 00:06:30,635
they're giving my money
to their sick brother.

66
00:06:30,635 --> 00:06:33,934
l can't imagine them
ontologically perverse.

67
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,403
I Telephone ringing ]

68
00:06:43,114 --> 00:06:47,118
Sebastian broke the
window in the back door.

69
00:06:47,118 --> 00:06:51,255
l've covered it, but
should l call in a repairman?

70
00:06:51,255 --> 00:06:52,890
I l'll do it Monday. ]

71
00:06:52,890 --> 00:06:57,361
And my car's dead.
lt must be the staner.

72
00:06:57,361 --> 00:07:02,233
Sylvaine had a fit 'cause
l couldn't drive herto ballet.

73
00:07:02,233 --> 00:07:03,668
I Uhhuh. ]

74
00:07:03,668 --> 00:07:06,671
Dominique and Diane
aren't here yet.

75
00:07:06,671 --> 00:07:10,408
So don't wory if
we're a little late.

76
00:07:10,408 --> 00:07:12,777
No problem, we'll wait.

77
00:07:12,777 --> 00:07:15,245
Danielle wants
to speak to Pierre.

78
00:07:21,486 --> 00:07:23,621
l love you.

79
00:07:23,621 --> 00:07:24,956
Really?

80
00:07:24,956 --> 00:07:26,257
You?

81
00:07:26,257 --> 00:07:27,391
I Me? ]

82
00:07:27,391 --> 00:07:28,826
You still love me?

83
00:07:28,826 --> 00:07:30,794
Yes, of course.

84
00:07:32,497 --> 00:07:35,227
You're scared to say
it because of R�my, eh?

85
00:07:36,534 --> 00:07:39,128
I See you later. ]

86
00:07:44,041 --> 00:07:45,910
Can we help?

87
00:07:45,910 --> 00:07:48,012
After l've prepared the trout.

88
00:07:48,012 --> 00:07:49,843
The shallots please.

89
00:08:00,591 --> 00:08:03,027
My back's really huning.

90
00:08:03,027 --> 00:08:04,695
You should take a swim.

91
00:08:04,695 --> 00:08:07,425
The water's so cold,
and l swim badly.

92
00:08:08,866 --> 00:08:12,393
Making love is the only
exercise l really enjoy.

93
00:08:16,007 --> 00:08:17,235
Turn over.

94
00:08:27,852 --> 00:08:32,423
Oh, to be slim,
young and attractive...

95
00:08:32,423 --> 00:08:34,625
l'm forever on a diet.

96
00:08:34,625 --> 00:08:37,228
l weigh myself evey morning.

97
00:08:37,228 --> 00:08:40,857
l'm terrified of getting flabby.

98
00:08:42,033 --> 00:08:44,035
My problem is...

99
00:08:44,035 --> 00:08:45,900
l was born in the wrong era.

100
00:08:46,904 --> 00:08:49,031
l was made to be fat.

101
00:08:51,375 --> 00:08:52,810
My grandmother,

102
00:08:52,810 --> 00:08:54,712
never did anything
more strenuous...

103
00:08:54,712 --> 00:08:56,547
than play the organ in church.

104
00:08:56,547 --> 00:09:00,117
She was an enormous
woman who loved to eat...

105
00:09:00,117 --> 00:09:02,881
and drank vermouth
with her sugar donuts.

106
00:09:05,690 --> 00:09:09,493
ln those days, men
liked theirwomen big.

107
00:09:09,493 --> 00:09:11,429
There's no vesiga, l suppose.

108
00:09:11,429 --> 00:09:14,098
Use the tapioca.

109
00:09:14,098 --> 00:09:18,703
There's a Polish store
that sometimes has vesiga.

110
00:09:18,703 --> 00:09:21,873
But it's way out in Brossard!

111
00:09:21,873 --> 00:09:27,378
l took Leni Eisenbach to a
Chinese restaurant in Brossard.

112
00:09:27,378 --> 00:09:29,180
ln Brossard?

113
00:09:29,180 --> 00:09:32,013
ls there a good Chinese
restaurant in Brossard?

114
00:09:35,653 --> 00:09:37,121
What?

115
00:09:37,121 --> 00:09:39,021
Hand me the parsley.

116
00:09:40,124 --> 00:09:42,560
l was still married then.

117
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:44,629
l don't get it.

118
00:09:44,629 --> 00:09:48,799
Visual idiots! Perhaps you
should draw him a picture.

119
00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:50,668
So, tell me.

120
00:09:50,668 --> 00:09:55,306
A month before, l'd invited a
student to Delmo's for seafood.

121
00:09:55,306 --> 00:09:59,277
Naturally, intending to
screw her madly afterwards.

122
00:09:59,277 --> 00:10:01,279
Never changes.

123
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:05,549
Afriend of my
wife's spotted us.

124
00:10:05,549 --> 00:10:07,652
She had just separated.

125
00:10:07,652 --> 00:10:10,488
Her husband was
cheating on her of course.

126
00:10:10,488 --> 00:10:11,989
She hated men.

127
00:10:11,989 --> 00:10:14,158
Familiartune.

128
00:10:14,158 --> 00:10:18,462
At 4 am. when l say the
faculty meeting ended late...

129
00:10:18,462 --> 00:10:22,633
my wife asks me if
the oysters were fresh.

130
00:10:22,633 --> 00:10:24,794
Horror ofhorrors!

131
00:10:26,170 --> 00:10:29,469
This explains why married
men frequent the suburbs.

132
00:10:31,475 --> 00:10:34,545
l discovered amyl
nitrite in Brossard.

133
00:10:34,545 --> 00:10:35,746
What's that?

134
00:10:35,746 --> 00:10:37,548
Drug for hean patients...

135
00:10:37,548 --> 00:10:40,051
dilates the blood
vessels instantly.

136
00:10:40,051 --> 00:10:42,451
You had a hean
attack, in Brossard?

137
00:10:43,821 --> 00:10:46,891
l'd picked up 2 girls
hitching to New York.

138
00:10:46,891 --> 00:10:48,326
Couldn't pass them by.

139
00:10:48,326 --> 00:10:49,623
Not at night!

140
00:10:50,695 --> 00:10:52,363
So l paid fortheir motel.

141
00:10:52,363 --> 00:10:54,398
Ah, Christian charity!

142
00:10:54,398 --> 00:10:56,367
lt had its rewards!

143
00:10:56,367 --> 00:10:58,803
They offered to sleep with me.

144
00:10:58,803 --> 00:11:00,638
Two kind souls.

145
00:11:00,638 --> 00:11:02,731
Lovely bodies too.

146
00:11:04,041 --> 00:11:09,113
One of them placed a tiny
pill on the night table.

147
00:11:09,113 --> 00:11:10,881
ls that the chicken stock?

148
00:11:10,881 --> 00:11:12,783
Yeah, and get the velout�.

149
00:11:12,783 --> 00:11:17,686
She told me to take the
pill 15 seconds before coming.

150
00:11:19,123 --> 00:11:21,592
Amyl nitrite just
before orgasm...

151
00:11:21,592 --> 00:11:25,162
Absolute ecstasy...
St. John of the Cross.

152
00:11:25,162 --> 00:11:27,732
But it ages your hean years.

153
00:11:27,732 --> 00:11:30,334
l'm such a jerk...

154
00:11:30,334 --> 00:11:33,770
l was so excited,
l forgot to take it.

155
00:11:35,139 --> 00:11:37,266
l brought it home...

156
00:11:40,978 --> 00:11:43,547
and took it the next
night, with my wife.

157
00:11:43,547 --> 00:11:47,574
Told her it was a test for
the school of pharmacology!

158
00:12:17,048 --> 00:12:18,883
There's a diver in the pool.

159
00:12:18,883 --> 00:12:21,685
He must be from the club.

160
00:12:21,685 --> 00:12:23,187
You're shivering!

161
00:12:23,187 --> 00:12:25,089
The water's freezing.

162
00:12:25,089 --> 00:12:27,489
Go take a sauna.

163
00:12:29,860 --> 00:12:31,529
What're those?

164
00:12:31,529 --> 00:12:32,797
What?

165
00:12:32,797 --> 00:12:34,331
Those marks.

166
00:12:34,331 --> 00:12:37,198
Nothing... from my judo class.

167
00:12:39,770 --> 00:12:41,362
Judo?

168
00:12:44,175 --> 00:12:47,508
So l told my daughter.
She's insanely jealous.

169
00:12:51,715 --> 00:12:55,219
l'm having a weird
affairwith this guy.

170
00:12:55,219 --> 00:12:56,987
Unbelievable.

171
00:12:56,987 --> 00:12:59,356
Someone l met in a bar.

172
00:12:59,356 --> 00:13:01,058
What does he do?

173
00:13:01,058 --> 00:13:03,694
l prefer not to know.

174
00:13:03,694 --> 00:13:07,965
For openers, he said it was
time l met a man like him...

175
00:13:07,965 --> 00:13:09,398
a real man.

176
00:13:19,243 --> 00:13:21,612
He's never made
love to me normally...

177
00:13:21,612 --> 00:13:23,447
always from behind...

178
00:13:23,447 --> 00:13:24,971
like a man.

179
00:13:26,283 --> 00:13:30,413
Before him, l
couldn't stand that.

180
00:13:31,522 --> 00:13:34,492
The first few times
he pulled on my hair...

181
00:13:34,492 --> 00:13:36,426
like a mane.

182
00:13:39,964 --> 00:13:41,499
Then...

183
00:13:41,499 --> 00:13:43,534
he staned spanking me...

184
00:13:43,534 --> 00:13:46,503
on my ass and thighs.

185
00:13:47,538 --> 00:13:50,166
Next it was his leather belt.

186
00:13:52,943 --> 00:13:55,312
Then he began...

187
00:13:55,312 --> 00:13:58,406
tying me to the radiator...

188
00:14:00,384 --> 00:14:03,376
ln more and more
degrading positions.

189
00:14:05,022 --> 00:14:07,149
l had never come like that.

190
00:14:08,192 --> 00:14:09,955
But l have to stop.

191
00:14:10,995 --> 00:14:12,587
lt's getting dangerous.

192
00:14:13,631 --> 00:14:15,326
You're afraid ofhim?

193
00:14:17,968 --> 00:14:20,869
No, it's me l'm afraid of.

194
00:14:26,744 --> 00:14:29,577
l'm the one who always
wants to go funher.

195
00:14:30,614 --> 00:14:32,104
l'm the one in control.

196
00:14:33,751 --> 00:14:35,819
l've neverfelt so powerful.

197
00:14:35,819 --> 00:14:38,515
The power of the
victim is incredible.

198
00:14:44,562 --> 00:14:46,964
He's totally dependent on me.

199
00:14:46,964 --> 00:14:49,867
lt's got nothing to
do with wife beating.

200
00:14:49,867 --> 00:14:53,667
lt's a game that has
fixed rules but no limits.

201
00:14:54,972 --> 00:14:57,841
We could even kill each other.

202
00:14:57,841 --> 00:15:00,611
The strangest pan
is, l don't love him.

203
00:15:00,611 --> 00:15:02,246
He knows...

204
00:15:02,246 --> 00:15:05,010
how to get right into me.

205
00:15:07,051 --> 00:15:10,487
You lie through yourteeth,
that's what saves you.

206
00:15:11,488 --> 00:15:13,390
What else can one do?

207
00:15:13,390 --> 00:15:16,060
Lying is the basis
of all love affairs...

208
00:15:16,060 --> 00:15:18,596
of our vey social existence.

209
00:15:18,596 --> 00:15:20,231
Refusing to lie

210
00:15:20,231 --> 00:15:22,666
would be much the same as

211
00:15:22,666 --> 00:15:27,871
telling an eminent colleague
from Laval University...

212
00:15:27,871 --> 00:15:29,640
who's devoted years

213
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,376
to the histoy of
Catholicism in Canada...

214
00:15:32,376 --> 00:15:34,545
that he can take...

215
00:15:34,545 --> 00:15:36,347
Bishop Bourget's sermons...

216
00:15:36,347 --> 00:15:39,049
roll them vey tightly...

217
00:15:39,049 --> 00:15:41,318
and slowly shove
them up his ass.

218
00:15:41,318 --> 00:15:44,151
Not Bishop Bourget's sermons!

219
00:15:48,092 --> 00:15:49,493
lnstead...

220
00:15:49,493 --> 00:15:52,496
you shake his hand
warmly and say...

221
00:15:52,496 --> 00:15:54,231
''Vey impressive!''

222
00:15:54,231 --> 00:15:56,267
''Outstanding research!''

223
00:15:56,267 --> 00:15:57,668
Think so?

224
00:15:57,668 --> 00:15:59,370
''Brilliant fact checking!''

225
00:15:59,370 --> 00:16:02,203
Really, gentlemen,
you're embarrassing me!

226
00:16:03,474 --> 00:16:05,276
Same with women.

227
00:16:05,276 --> 00:16:07,678
''Your hairdo makes
you years younger.''

228
00:16:07,678 --> 00:16:09,580
''l thought about you all day.''

229
00:16:09,580 --> 00:16:11,282
''Wanted to call.''

230
00:16:11,282 --> 00:16:13,614
''We can still be friends.''

231
00:16:13,684 --> 00:16:15,853
l couldn't endure a separation.

232
00:16:15,853 --> 00:16:17,514
The screaming,
threats of suicide...

233
00:16:37,541 --> 00:16:42,379
finding an apanment,
fighting overthe furniture.

234
00:16:42,379 --> 00:16:46,076
l knew a couple who even
divided up their spice jars.

235
00:16:49,253 --> 00:16:51,689
lt's easierto stay together.

236
00:16:51,689 --> 00:16:54,157
Couples renovate their houses...

237
00:16:55,192 --> 00:16:58,462
crosscounty ski
to Povoknituk...

238
00:16:58,462 --> 00:17:01,031
Or scourthe sex shops for

239
00:17:01,031 --> 00:17:03,701
chains and whatever.

240
00:17:03,701 --> 00:17:06,403
They swap wives in suburbia.

241
00:17:06,403 --> 00:17:10,635
Anything to escape
the years ofboredom.

242
00:17:11,675 --> 00:17:13,404
Love, the kind

243
00:17:14,712 --> 00:17:16,914
that makes your hean race...

244
00:17:16,914 --> 00:17:19,007
makes you send flowers...

245
00:17:20,351 --> 00:17:22,444
lasts 2 years at best.

246
00:17:23,454 --> 00:17:26,082
Then the compromises begin.

247
00:17:27,091 --> 00:17:29,393
Life's a compromise.

248
00:17:29,393 --> 00:17:31,628
We've been married years...

249
00:17:31,628 --> 00:17:34,631
and still have wonderful times.

250
00:17:34,631 --> 00:17:36,500
You don't have kids.

251
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:38,195
lt's not the same.

252
00:17:39,336 --> 00:17:42,439
l want to be with
mine evey day...

253
00:17:42,439 --> 00:17:44,873
not evey otherweekend.

254
00:17:46,810 --> 00:17:48,312
You're flushed.

255
00:17:48,312 --> 00:17:51,415
Oh...? My sauce won't thicken.

256
00:17:51,415 --> 00:17:53,849
l divorced for
purely physical reasons.

257
00:17:54,918 --> 00:17:57,580
l was scared to
death of the phone.

258
00:17:59,323 --> 00:18:01,725
When you have affairs...

259
00:18:01,725 --> 00:18:04,828
the poorthings are
bound to fall in love.

260
00:18:04,828 --> 00:18:06,227
lt was awful...

261
00:18:07,564 --> 00:18:12,331
knowing one day, one of
them would call me at home.

262
00:18:14,071 --> 00:18:16,596
Evey time the phone rang...

263
00:18:18,308 --> 00:18:20,868
my hean skipped a beat.

264
00:18:24,715 --> 00:18:26,717
lt's been years now.

265
00:18:26,717 --> 00:18:29,653
With Danielle, it's different.

266
00:18:29,653 --> 00:18:32,656
Still, when the
phone rings at night...

267
00:18:32,656 --> 00:18:36,193
I Telephone ring ]

268
00:18:36,193 --> 00:18:38,525
l panic, totally.

269
00:18:46,937 --> 00:18:48,505
Who is it?

270
00:18:48,505 --> 00:18:50,302
Awoman.

271
00:18:57,347 --> 00:18:59,249
Oh, hi mom.

272
00:18:59,249 --> 00:19:00,717
The young lady who answered...?

273
00:19:00,717 --> 00:19:01,706
She's a student.

274
00:19:12,329 --> 00:19:14,965
A girl called you last night.

275
00:19:14,965 --> 00:19:16,733
She spoke English.

276
00:19:16,733 --> 00:19:18,257
Oh yeah?

277
00:19:20,370 --> 00:19:22,840
l didn't understand much.

278
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,569
Guess not.

279
00:19:28,212 --> 00:19:30,806
She said her name was Barbara.

280
00:19:34,451 --> 00:19:39,650
Must be the girl from
the conference in San Diego.

281
00:19:45,929 --> 00:19:47,487
She sends...

282
00:19:49,032 --> 00:19:50,795
''a warm kiss''.

283
00:19:52,669 --> 00:19:53,897
Oh?

284
00:19:55,239 --> 00:19:57,441
She's a lovely girl.

285
00:19:57,441 --> 00:19:59,102
Terrific organizer.

286
00:20:07,985 --> 00:20:09,976
Barbara Michalski!

287
00:20:13,223 --> 00:20:15,626
She'd done her
Ph.D. at San Diego...

288
00:20:15,626 --> 00:20:18,925
on the impact of working
women in Chicano families.

289
00:20:20,764 --> 00:20:22,925
She was brilliant.

290
00:20:23,934 --> 00:20:26,670
That's what seduction's about...

291
00:20:26,670 --> 00:20:29,339
not big breasts or long legs.

292
00:20:29,339 --> 00:20:31,241
lt's in the mind.

293
00:20:31,241 --> 00:20:33,644
We were together only days.

294
00:20:33,644 --> 00:20:35,846
We went camping in the Baja.

295
00:20:35,846 --> 00:20:38,982
l knew nothing about psychology.

296
00:20:38,982 --> 00:20:41,418
So at night,
before we made love...

297
00:20:41,418 --> 00:20:45,222
she'd tell me about
R.D. Laing, antipsychiaty...

298
00:20:45,222 --> 00:20:47,357
so many things.

299
00:20:47,357 --> 00:20:50,093
l could've listened to
herfor nights on end.

300
00:20:50,093 --> 00:20:51,560
I Knock! Knock! ]

301
00:20:53,564 --> 00:20:54,690
Hi, R�my.

302
00:20:57,634 --> 00:20:59,499
Sory l'm early.

303
00:21:00,504 --> 00:21:02,105
Am l disturbing you?

304
00:21:02,105 --> 00:21:03,907
Not at all.

305
00:21:03,907 --> 00:21:05,409
What are you up to?

306
00:21:05,409 --> 00:21:07,010
Some filing.

307
00:21:07,010 --> 00:21:08,412
What's in that file?

308
00:21:08,412 --> 00:21:09,546
Nothing.

309
00:21:09,546 --> 00:21:11,582
lt's on Shiite
factions in Lebanon.

310
00:21:11,582 --> 00:21:12,883
Are you sure?

311
00:21:12,883 --> 00:21:14,284
Why Lulu...

312
00:21:14,284 --> 00:21:17,220
l'm as clear as spring water.

313
00:21:17,220 --> 00:21:19,189
Yeah, transparent even.

314
00:21:19,189 --> 00:21:21,191
Wholesome as fresh bread.

315
00:21:21,191 --> 00:21:23,056
What became ofher?

316
00:21:24,795 --> 00:21:26,422
l don't know.

317
00:21:28,632 --> 00:21:31,368
We used to phone each other.

318
00:21:31,368 --> 00:21:33,359
Then she disappeared.

319
00:21:34,905 --> 00:21:37,840
Probably married
some dumb Mexican.

320
00:21:40,177 --> 00:21:43,046
Whenever l'm in the libray...

321
00:21:43,046 --> 00:21:46,950
l look for her name
in the psychology journals.

322
00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:49,248
l'll probably
never see her again.

323
00:21:52,222 --> 00:21:54,213
l think about her a lot.

324
00:21:56,994 --> 00:21:58,962
How tragic!

325
00:22:08,538 --> 00:22:10,597
What're you thinking?

326
00:22:12,442 --> 00:22:14,569
l was thinking
how happy we are.

327
00:22:19,082 --> 00:22:22,119
l'm not completely naive.

328
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,988
l'm sure R�my has flings
now and then, on his trips.

329
00:22:28,058 --> 00:22:30,549
But at home he's good.

330
00:22:32,195 --> 00:22:35,165
The one time he
wasn't, l was with him.

331
00:22:35,165 --> 00:22:37,224
So l don't wory.

332
00:22:38,669 --> 00:22:40,404
Meaning?

333
00:22:40,404 --> 00:22:42,429
l don't know ifl should tell.

334
00:22:44,274 --> 00:22:46,576
We'd heard about a doctor...

335
00:22:46,576 --> 00:22:48,879
an old school buddy of R�my's...

336
00:22:48,879 --> 00:22:52,246
who organized rather
unusual panies.

337
00:22:53,617 --> 00:22:56,286
He had invited us...

338
00:22:56,286 --> 00:22:58,755
and we decided to go.

339
00:22:58,755 --> 00:23:01,425
What was it like?

340
00:23:01,425 --> 00:23:04,494
There were a dozen couples...

341
00:23:04,494 --> 00:23:07,064
professional people mostly.

342
00:23:07,064 --> 00:23:09,532
A psychiatrist too.

343
00:23:11,568 --> 00:23:13,661
People from about 30 to 50.

344
00:23:15,806 --> 00:23:17,541
What happened?

345
00:23:17,541 --> 00:23:20,310
lt was a bit strange.

346
00:23:20,310 --> 00:23:23,413
First, they waited
for eveyone to arrive.

347
00:23:23,413 --> 00:23:27,713
Then we went to the basement.

348
00:23:28,785 --> 00:23:30,420
lt was spacious...

349
00:23:30,420 --> 00:23:32,856
with thick carpets,
lots of pillows...

350
00:23:32,856 --> 00:23:34,591
soft lighting...

351
00:23:34,591 --> 00:23:37,355
They showed a porno video.

352
00:23:38,862 --> 00:23:42,798
People began to dance.

353
00:23:44,201 --> 00:23:48,138
lt wasn't really dancing...

354
00:23:48,138 --> 00:23:51,575
more like venical foreplay.

355
00:23:51,575 --> 00:23:54,945
Then suddenly eveyone
was making love...

356
00:23:54,945 --> 00:23:58,014
all overthe house,
in the rooms upstairs.

357
00:23:58,014 --> 00:24:00,150
You too?

358
00:24:00,150 --> 00:24:01,685
Yeah.

359
00:24:01,685 --> 00:24:04,054
But just once.

360
00:24:04,054 --> 00:24:06,523
l wasn't what you'd call...

361
00:24:06,523 --> 00:24:08,548
the life of the pany.

362
00:24:09,926 --> 00:24:12,162
R�my was more active.

363
00:24:12,162 --> 00:24:14,664
l saw him with 2 women.

364
00:24:14,664 --> 00:24:16,996
Who did you fuck?

365
00:24:18,468 --> 00:24:20,095
l don't even know.

366
00:24:21,271 --> 00:24:24,172
You don't talk much.

367
00:24:27,511 --> 00:24:32,916
The man making love to
me was taking his time...

368
00:24:32,916 --> 00:24:34,384
That's good.

369
00:24:34,384 --> 00:24:36,653
Yeah, it's just
that his wife...

370
00:24:36,653 --> 00:24:40,257
must've hit on a
premature ejaculator.

371
00:24:40,257 --> 00:24:42,953
Because she arrives...

372
00:24:46,496 --> 00:24:47,998
Charles...

373
00:24:47,998 --> 00:24:49,299
What?

374
00:24:49,299 --> 00:24:52,569
Aren't you being
a little slow?

375
00:24:52,569 --> 00:24:54,059
Th�r�se, please!

376
00:24:55,138 --> 00:24:56,306
Come on!

377
00:24:56,306 --> 00:24:57,603
Come on!

378
00:24:59,576 --> 00:25:01,378
Are you serious?

379
00:25:01,378 --> 00:25:02,606
l swear!

380
00:25:03,780 --> 00:25:06,116
Are you enjoying him?

381
00:25:06,116 --> 00:25:07,184
Th�r�se!

382
00:25:07,184 --> 00:25:08,218
Uhhuh.

383
00:25:08,218 --> 00:25:09,252
Coming dear.

384
00:25:09,252 --> 00:25:12,278
Alright, see you later.

385
00:25:13,824 --> 00:25:16,226
So he staned in for real.

386
00:25:16,226 --> 00:25:20,230
l did my best to help him.

387
00:25:20,230 --> 00:25:23,722
You shouted,
''More, more, more!''

388
00:25:26,169 --> 00:25:28,104
Let's say l kept it to...

389
00:25:28,104 --> 00:25:30,307
heavy panting.

390
00:25:30,307 --> 00:25:32,843
Anyway, finally it worked.

391
00:25:32,843 --> 00:25:36,847
He had his little orgasm
and went off to find his wife.

392
00:25:36,847 --> 00:25:38,337
Did you come?

393
00:25:39,349 --> 00:25:41,476
Well, no.

394
00:25:46,623 --> 00:25:49,888
He didn't know me.

395
00:25:50,894 --> 00:25:53,530
l'm not like you, Diane...

396
00:25:53,530 --> 00:25:56,465
l was doing it mainly for R�my.

397
00:25:57,701 --> 00:26:00,270
What do you mean,
not like me?

398
00:26:00,270 --> 00:26:02,505
Well, it was...

399
00:26:02,505 --> 00:26:04,274
for married couples.

400
00:26:04,274 --> 00:26:06,042
Married?

401
00:26:06,042 --> 00:26:07,669
That's right.

402
00:26:08,812 --> 00:26:11,047
These people...

403
00:26:11,047 --> 00:26:15,151
are absolutely faithful,
do everything together.

404
00:26:15,151 --> 00:26:18,822
For me it was a way...

405
00:26:18,822 --> 00:26:21,224
of showing our love.

406
00:26:21,224 --> 00:26:23,593
Have you evertried it?

407
00:26:23,593 --> 00:26:28,298
Wife swapping panies,
orgies, that son of thing?

408
00:26:28,298 --> 00:26:32,802
l never mix my marriage
with my sex life.

409
00:26:32,802 --> 00:26:35,038
l may cheat on Louise,

410
00:26:35,038 --> 00:26:37,939
but l know she's the one for me.

411
00:26:39,175 --> 00:26:40,443
Yes?

412
00:26:40,443 --> 00:26:43,313
Diane's not around?

413
00:26:43,313 --> 00:26:44,803
Not yet.

414
00:26:49,319 --> 00:26:51,087
Which is her place?

415
00:26:51,087 --> 00:26:53,156
The one in back.

416
00:26:53,156 --> 00:26:54,646
Right next to mine.

417
00:26:57,027 --> 00:26:59,154
The door's probably locked.

418
00:27:01,865 --> 00:27:03,298
l'll go see.

419
00:27:09,372 --> 00:27:11,237
Not bad!

420
00:27:12,309 --> 00:27:14,436
Yourtype, eh?

421
00:27:15,612 --> 00:27:17,580
lt's asking fortrouble.

422
00:27:43,673 --> 00:27:46,242
l was in love with
someone like him.

423
00:27:46,242 --> 00:27:47,937
lt lasted 6 months.

424
00:27:52,082 --> 00:27:53,777
He was killed.

425
00:27:54,851 --> 00:27:56,443
Motorcycle accident.

426
00:28:01,858 --> 00:28:04,260
That's when l began cruising.

427
00:28:04,260 --> 00:28:07,831
l'd be cruising evey
night ifl could.

428
00:28:07,831 --> 00:28:09,399
l thought you were.

429
00:28:09,399 --> 00:28:10,991
Not anymore.

430
00:28:12,135 --> 00:28:14,228
l can't teach the next day.

431
00:28:15,538 --> 00:28:18,837
The only time l feel
alive is when l'm cruising.

432
00:28:35,191 --> 00:28:37,421
lt's incredible, l become...

433
00:28:39,329 --> 00:28:40,626
crazed...

434
00:28:41,631 --> 00:28:42,899
electrified...

435
00:28:42,899 --> 00:28:44,234
l know the feeling.

436
00:28:44,234 --> 00:28:46,102
But for me it's dangerous.

437
00:28:46,102 --> 00:28:48,593
Afriend was stabbed
in the shower.

438
00:28:51,007 --> 00:28:52,975
l can't help it.

439
00:28:54,077 --> 00:28:56,545
Some nights ljust
have to fuck someone...

440
00:28:57,814 --> 00:28:59,416
Anyone.

441
00:28:59,416 --> 00:29:00,850
lt doesn't matter.

442
00:29:00,850 --> 00:29:03,648
Like an alley
cat on the prowl...

443
00:29:06,456 --> 00:29:09,025
The urge is overwhelming.

444
00:29:09,025 --> 00:29:11,127
l'm always being robbed.

445
00:29:11,127 --> 00:29:15,791
Guys take off with
records, wine, my watch.

446
00:29:17,567 --> 00:29:21,298
l'm not physically brave...

447
00:29:22,972 --> 00:29:24,874
but when it hits...

448
00:29:24,874 --> 00:29:28,211
l can set out at 4 am.
on an expedition...

449
00:29:28,211 --> 00:29:31,237
through the saunas
of Los Angeles...

450
00:29:32,348 --> 00:29:35,545
orthe heaviest bars in
St. Pauli in Hamburg.

451
00:29:41,257 --> 00:29:43,054
That's why l live alone.

452
00:29:44,227 --> 00:29:46,821
l never know how
the day will end.

453
00:29:47,897 --> 00:29:49,799
Even if nothing happens...

454
00:29:49,799 --> 00:29:52,267
the possibility still exists.

455
00:29:54,337 --> 00:29:57,073
Knowing l have to be home at 6,

456
00:29:57,073 --> 00:30:00,143
'cause the old lady
has supperwaiting...

457
00:30:00,143 --> 00:30:02,043
would kill me.

458
00:30:02,345 --> 00:30:04,647
The old lady orthe old man.

459
00:30:04,647 --> 00:30:06,683
Same thing.

460
00:30:06,683 --> 00:30:09,352
l like knowing
supper is ready...

461
00:30:09,352 --> 00:30:11,554
and stopping off
on the way home.

462
00:30:11,554 --> 00:30:14,591
When l'm in love,
l become monogamous.

463
00:30:14,591 --> 00:30:15,922
lt lasts a while...

464
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,262
then the beast rears its head.

465
00:30:19,262 --> 00:30:21,931
l turn into a public menace!

466
00:30:21,931 --> 00:30:24,661
l swear, they should lock me up.

467
00:30:25,668 --> 00:30:29,072
l once visited a brothel...

468
00:30:29,072 --> 00:30:31,267
on the way to my mistress.

469
00:30:32,275 --> 00:30:34,511
Ty explaining that to a woman.

470
00:30:34,511 --> 00:30:36,012
Oh damn.

471
00:30:36,012 --> 00:30:37,113
What?

472
00:30:37,113 --> 00:30:38,281
We're out of eggs.

473
00:30:38,281 --> 00:30:39,805
l've got some...

474
00:30:40,917 --> 00:30:43,453
the plastic kind
from the village.

475
00:30:43,453 --> 00:30:45,488
l couldn't buy any in the city.

476
00:30:45,488 --> 00:30:46,819
They'll do.

477
00:30:50,660 --> 00:30:52,525
lt was locked?

478
00:30:54,497 --> 00:30:56,590
She shouldn't be long.

479
00:31:02,172 --> 00:31:04,674
l'm not like you guys.

480
00:31:04,674 --> 00:31:07,143
l don't need to fuck
a new girl evey day.

481
00:31:07,143 --> 00:31:09,546
l didn't either at your age.

482
00:31:09,546 --> 00:31:14,517
But you can't correct
our students' papers forever.

483
00:31:14,517 --> 00:31:16,314
You still have to do your Ph.D.

484
00:31:17,353 --> 00:31:19,789
You'll want to buy
an apanment...

485
00:31:19,789 --> 00:31:21,758
maybe a county house.

486
00:31:21,758 --> 00:31:24,226
lt keeps your mind occupied.

487
00:31:28,731 --> 00:31:32,030
Perhaps you dream of
writing an imponant book.

488
00:31:33,636 --> 00:31:37,572
l know l'll never be
a Toynbee or a Braudel.

489
00:31:39,242 --> 00:31:41,073
All l have left is...

490
00:31:42,145 --> 00:31:43,379
sex...

491
00:31:43,379 --> 00:31:44,881
or love.

492
00:31:44,881 --> 00:31:46,508
What's the difference?

493
00:31:47,517 --> 00:31:49,781
l don't know what's left for me.

494
00:31:50,820 --> 00:31:53,254
That's why age leads to vice.

495
00:31:55,358 --> 00:31:57,760
l don't have
all that ambition.

496
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,456
ljust want to be happy.

497
00:32:09,239 --> 00:32:10,831
l need some water.

498
00:32:11,975 --> 00:32:14,034
Would you like mineral water?

499
00:32:21,050 --> 00:32:23,177
Doesn't yourtap work?

500
00:32:34,764 --> 00:32:36,532
Are you on medication?

501
00:32:36,532 --> 00:32:38,227
A home remedy.

502
00:32:41,004 --> 00:32:42,631
lt's real strong.

503
00:32:43,773 --> 00:32:45,604
l take multivitamins.

504
00:32:46,876 --> 00:32:49,003
Must be good foryou.

505
00:32:54,150 --> 00:32:55,385
l'm gonna split.

506
00:32:55,385 --> 00:32:56,753
What about Diane?

507
00:32:56,753 --> 00:32:58,186
l'll be back.

508
00:33:28,651 --> 00:33:31,054
Wittgenstein wrote that...

509
00:33:31,054 --> 00:33:36,151
our only cenainty is the
ability to act with the body.

510
00:33:37,427 --> 00:33:39,729
lfl'm in love, l get hard.

511
00:33:39,729 --> 00:33:44,167
lfl don't get hard,
l'm not in love.

512
00:33:44,167 --> 00:33:47,036
Otherwise, you're
deceiving yourself.

513
00:33:47,036 --> 00:33:51,336
Like a woman who says
she still loves you...

514
00:33:52,642 --> 00:33:54,811
when she's as dy
as sandpaper...

515
00:33:54,811 --> 00:33:58,247
and you remember
how she'd be dripping...

516
00:33:58,247 --> 00:34:00,943
if you so much as
kissed her on the neck.

517
00:34:30,313 --> 00:34:33,282
Roger had me sleep
with his best friend.

518
00:34:33,282 --> 00:34:37,120
ln fact, for 6 months
we all slept together.

519
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,223
l can recommend it
2 mouths, 4 hands...

520
00:34:40,223 --> 00:34:42,350
lt's not as easy as all that.

521
00:34:43,559 --> 00:34:46,262
l tried it in Maninique
with 2 young blacks.

522
00:34:46,262 --> 00:34:49,665
As soon as they opened
their mouths it was over.

523
00:34:49,665 --> 00:34:51,801
''Madam not know Maatinique...

524
00:34:51,801 --> 00:34:54,702
if no sleep with Maatiniquers.''

525
00:34:55,705 --> 00:34:57,696
They show me a gold bracelet...

526
00:34:57,740 --> 00:35:00,868
''A gift from her
HonourJudge Thibodeau.''

527
00:35:02,044 --> 00:35:03,513
They're so macho!

528
00:35:03,513 --> 00:35:04,747
l'm paying...

529
00:35:04,747 --> 00:35:06,738
but they tell me what to do.

530
00:35:08,317 --> 00:35:12,655
White woman on her knees
before the black boy's cock.

531
00:35:12,655 --> 00:35:14,157
Not your style, eh?

532
00:35:14,157 --> 00:35:16,159
Not exactly.

533
00:35:16,159 --> 00:35:18,361
l prefer African blacks.

534
00:35:18,361 --> 00:35:19,829
Like Mustafa?

535
00:35:19,829 --> 00:35:21,297
No thanks!

536
00:35:21,297 --> 00:35:23,733
Men who drool over me...

537
00:35:23,733 --> 00:35:26,235
l don't know,
Africans are somehow...

538
00:35:26,235 --> 00:35:27,537
warmer.

539
00:35:27,537 --> 00:35:29,505
Of course they're polygamous...

540
00:35:29,505 --> 00:35:30,802
You get used to it.

541
00:35:32,074 --> 00:35:33,735
What do you mean?

542
00:35:34,744 --> 00:35:36,336
Well...

543
00:35:42,151 --> 00:35:44,287
lt's not 4:30!

544
00:35:44,287 --> 00:35:45,652
lt's 4:30?

545
00:35:46,656 --> 00:35:47,924
Shit!

546
00:35:47,924 --> 00:35:50,586
l told Louise l'd meet her at 4.

547
00:35:53,596 --> 00:35:57,123
l wanted to buy the kids
Christmas presents.

548
00:35:58,835 --> 00:35:59,969
My shin!

549
00:35:59,969 --> 00:36:01,027
The den.

550
00:36:04,540 --> 00:36:05,842
My sweater?

551
00:36:05,842 --> 00:36:07,173
On the sofa.

552
00:36:08,177 --> 00:36:09,474
Your ring!

553
00:36:12,715 --> 00:36:15,548
lt was great.
See you tomorrow.

554
00:36:18,788 --> 00:36:21,357
l always come
back to ltalians.

555
00:36:21,357 --> 00:36:23,348
They're impossible, but...

556
00:36:30,166 --> 00:36:32,468
Ah, my first visits to ltaly...

557
00:36:32,468 --> 00:36:35,062
l was continually being robbed.

558
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,574
The guys would
take my passpon...

559
00:36:38,574 --> 00:36:41,236
my traveller's
cheques, my watch...

560
00:36:43,379 --> 00:36:46,649
But there was lots of amore.

561
00:36:46,649 --> 00:36:51,018
Such simple souls, they
shout 'Mamma' when they come.

562
00:36:52,889 --> 00:36:57,727
The first time
a man shouted 'Mamma'...

563
00:36:57,727 --> 00:37:00,730
l thought his
mother had come in.

564
00:37:00,730 --> 00:37:03,096
l wanted to hide underthe bed.

565
00:37:09,238 --> 00:37:12,174
You're sure
you don't have AlDS?

566
00:37:12,174 --> 00:37:16,577
lt's 2 to 5 years incubation.
Like to test my saliva?

567
00:37:18,247 --> 00:37:19,715
You're not scared?

568
00:37:19,715 --> 00:37:21,617
lt's pan of the pleasure.

569
00:37:21,617 --> 00:37:24,220
Anyway, disease
is pan of sex.

570
00:37:24,220 --> 00:37:26,622
Ever heard women
talk about their insides?

571
00:37:26,622 --> 00:37:29,592
The fibromas,
vaginitus, salpingitis...

572
00:37:29,592 --> 00:37:30,960
Chlamydia...

573
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,228
spirochaetes...

574
00:37:32,228 --> 00:37:33,629
Herpes...

575
00:37:33,629 --> 00:37:35,765
soft chancres!

576
00:37:35,765 --> 00:37:37,033
To think...

577
00:37:37,033 --> 00:37:40,770
you actually dip
your cocks in that!

578
00:37:40,770 --> 00:37:42,471
Our cocks... ourtongues...

579
00:37:42,471 --> 00:37:44,473
Staphylococcus aureus!

580
00:37:44,473 --> 00:37:46,809
Come on, that's in the throat.

581
00:37:46,809 --> 00:37:48,377
My poor boy...

582
00:37:48,377 --> 00:37:52,048
it can spread ever so easily from
herthroat to your pecker.

583
00:37:52,048 --> 00:37:57,119
Then its hello urethritis
with staphylococcus aureus!

584
00:37:57,119 --> 00:38:01,457
And the hospital on an empty
stomach once a week for months!

585
00:38:01,457 --> 00:38:03,192
Explain that to yourwife!

586
00:38:03,192 --> 00:38:06,462
You can't make love,
leave forwork at 7...

587
00:38:06,462 --> 00:38:07,563
once a week.

588
00:38:07,563 --> 00:38:09,031
Without breakfast.

589
00:38:09,031 --> 00:38:11,667
You can't drink
because of the antibiotics.

590
00:38:11,667 --> 00:38:13,736
Not to mention the stains...

591
00:38:13,736 --> 00:38:16,806
you ty to wash
out of the sheets...

592
00:38:16,806 --> 00:38:19,842
while yourwife's in the shower.

593
00:38:19,842 --> 00:38:22,044
lt's not as bad as AlDS.

594
00:38:22,044 --> 00:38:25,810
Otherwise homosexuality
would be paradise on eanh.

595
00:38:27,083 --> 00:38:30,086
They're already better
dressed, more cultivated...

596
00:38:30,086 --> 00:38:33,122
They're gayertoo.
Such a sense ofhumour.

597
00:38:33,122 --> 00:38:37,326
They're better cooks,
just look at his dough.

598
00:38:37,326 --> 00:38:39,428
Yes, but l'm going to Hell.

599
00:38:39,428 --> 00:38:41,197
Save me a seat.

600
00:38:41,197 --> 00:38:43,232
They have friends all over.

601
00:38:43,232 --> 00:38:47,870
When a man tells me, ''l stayed
with friends in Amsterdam...''

602
00:38:47,870 --> 00:38:49,939
l know he's gay

603
00:38:49,939 --> 00:38:53,009
My friends are married
and have children...

604
00:38:53,009 --> 00:38:54,844
their apanments are crammed.

605
00:38:54,844 --> 00:38:59,649
And my old girlfriends are with
men who don't want me around.

606
00:38:59,649 --> 00:39:02,351
They're even better looking.

607
00:39:02,351 --> 00:39:04,387
That's the worst.

608
00:39:04,387 --> 00:39:08,524
Here are your 2
classic hetero's...

609
00:39:08,524 --> 00:39:13,295
overweight, noses too
long, our complexions are...

610
00:39:13,295 --> 00:39:14,284
Ravaged!

611
00:39:15,464 --> 00:39:17,500
So the question is...

612
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:21,003
are we hetero because
we're not goodlooking...

613
00:39:21,003 --> 00:39:24,200
orwould our looks
improve if we were gay?

614
00:39:25,675 --> 00:39:27,677
Serious matter.

615
00:39:27,677 --> 00:39:32,481
Atruly superb teenage
boy looking in the mirror

616
00:39:32,481 --> 00:39:33,549
must think...

617
00:39:33,549 --> 00:39:35,518
''This is too good for a woman!''

618
00:39:35,518 --> 00:39:36,619
Exactly!

619
00:39:36,619 --> 00:39:37,687
Yes, but...

620
00:39:37,687 --> 00:39:39,177
the moustache.

621
00:39:40,222 --> 00:39:41,712
Kissing a moustache...

622
00:39:42,858 --> 00:39:45,588
You have to get to them
before they have one.

623
00:39:46,696 --> 00:39:48,994
He's a worse perven than me!

624
00:39:49,031 --> 00:39:52,768
l'm not talking about myself.
Really, l'm no pederast, but...

625
00:39:52,768 --> 00:39:54,870
aesthetically speaking...

626
00:39:54,870 --> 00:39:58,140
nothing compares to the
ass of a 12yearold boy...

627
00:39:58,140 --> 00:40:01,944
Not the Sistine Chapel
orthe B Minor Mass.

628
00:40:01,944 --> 00:40:04,980
At 12, a boy's ass is sublime.

629
00:40:04,980 --> 00:40:08,050
By that age, girls
have gone flabby.

630
00:40:08,050 --> 00:40:09,852
Matter of taste.

631
00:40:09,852 --> 00:40:14,123
A guy in a bar once said to me,
''Honey, a hole is a hole.''

632
00:40:14,123 --> 00:40:16,525
Should've called me in.

633
00:40:16,525 --> 00:40:18,390
He may be right.

634
00:40:19,695 --> 00:40:23,028
Plus the joy ofliving with
someone who doesn't menstruate.

635
00:40:24,533 --> 00:40:28,469
Louise turns into a
monster4 or 5 days a month.

636
00:40:29,605 --> 00:40:32,942
l nearly strangled her
one Sunday, last winter.

637
00:40:32,942 --> 00:40:36,078
There had been
a huge snow storm.

638
00:40:36,078 --> 00:40:40,716
l wanted to take my carto buy
the papers, but l got stuck.

639
00:40:40,716 --> 00:40:43,853
Of course, l'm
blocking her car...

640
00:40:43,853 --> 00:40:46,122
so she can't go to
hertennis lesson.

641
00:40:46,122 --> 00:40:48,758
She made an ugly scene...

642
00:40:48,758 --> 00:40:50,893
''You should have
let me out first.

643
00:40:50,893 --> 00:40:53,362
You never could
drive in the snow!''

644
00:40:53,362 --> 00:40:56,559
l should move out a
week before her period.

645
00:40:58,167 --> 00:41:02,671
The Sunday Times is sacred,
of course, snowstorm or not.

646
00:41:02,671 --> 00:41:07,009
Naturally he gets stuck, which
means l can't go to tennis.

647
00:41:07,009 --> 00:41:11,447
My last chance to see Fran�ois
for a month! l was furious!

648
00:41:11,447 --> 00:41:13,549
Fran�ois was the tennis pro?

649
00:41:13,549 --> 00:41:17,052
Yeah, he was going
to some tournament.

650
00:41:17,052 --> 00:41:19,789
l was climbing the walls!

651
00:41:19,789 --> 00:41:23,492
The fact l couldn't say
why, made it even worse!

652
00:41:23,492 --> 00:41:26,061
How long had
the affair lasted?

653
00:41:26,061 --> 00:41:27,797
lt wasn't an affair.

654
00:41:27,797 --> 00:41:29,431
Nothing had happened.

655
00:41:29,431 --> 00:41:32,889
But that Sunday l
felt something might.

656
00:41:34,403 --> 00:41:36,071
That's what made me mad...

657
00:41:36,071 --> 00:41:38,801
l hadn't done anything wrong.

658
00:42:01,397 --> 00:42:03,991
l wasn't sure when he'd be back.

659
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,269
Finally l got my nerve up.

660
00:42:07,269 --> 00:42:09,004
l called.

661
00:42:09,004 --> 00:42:11,871
l know you're not
supposed to, but...

662
00:42:14,844 --> 00:42:17,046
His daughter answered.

663
00:42:17,046 --> 00:42:19,207
He lives with his 14yearold.

664
00:42:20,282 --> 00:42:23,251
l heard him ask who it was.

665
00:42:24,820 --> 00:42:28,654
She said, ''Probably
one of your mistresses.''

666
00:42:29,658 --> 00:42:31,353
l hung up.

667
00:42:32,361 --> 00:42:34,363
Neverwent back.

668
00:42:34,363 --> 00:42:36,332
Well, l did once.

669
00:42:36,332 --> 00:42:37,959
l didn't go in.

670
00:42:47,343 --> 00:42:49,334
l saw him with a woman.

671
00:42:50,412 --> 00:42:52,047
Ayoung woman.

672
00:42:52,047 --> 00:42:54,106
At least you still had R�my.

673
00:42:55,351 --> 00:42:58,520
When you live alone,
you get used to it.

674
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,318
Your sex drive vanishes.

675
00:43:02,458 --> 00:43:04,756
You stop thinking about it.

676
00:43:07,463 --> 00:43:10,799
Then an old lover comes along...

677
00:43:10,799 --> 00:43:13,461
or someone else by accident.

678
00:43:20,409 --> 00:43:22,309
Can't you sleep?

679
00:43:25,681 --> 00:43:27,012
What is it?

680
00:43:28,751 --> 00:43:31,083
l want to sleep in my own bed.

681
00:43:34,323 --> 00:43:36,086
lt's snowing.

682
00:43:37,626 --> 00:43:39,287
l like sleeping alone.

683
00:43:41,630 --> 00:43:43,928
Me too, but not all the time.

684
00:43:58,447 --> 00:43:59,782
Now you're awake...

685
00:43:59,782 --> 00:44:01,317
you want it again.

686
00:44:01,317 --> 00:44:04,820
But he's had his
fun, so he's gone.

687
00:44:04,820 --> 00:44:07,380
Leaving you with
asymptomatic gonorrhea.

688
00:44:08,657 --> 00:44:10,225
Nice, eh.

689
00:44:10,225 --> 00:44:14,296
All that, just to have some
creature to warm your bed.

690
00:44:14,296 --> 00:44:16,662
l'd stoop to
almost anything...

691
00:44:16,699 --> 00:44:19,600
for a warm body Sunday morning.

692
00:44:20,602 --> 00:44:22,471
Though you don't
even need a man.

693
00:44:22,471 --> 00:44:24,139
l cuddle with my daughter...

694
00:44:24,139 --> 00:44:25,374
We smooch.

695
00:44:25,374 --> 00:44:27,710
How old is she?

696
00:44:27,710 --> 00:44:29,044
Twelve.

697
00:44:29,044 --> 00:44:31,447
Aren't you worried...?

698
00:44:31,447 --> 00:44:33,972
l mean, psychologically...

699
00:44:35,384 --> 00:44:37,052
No.

700
00:44:37,052 --> 00:44:39,989
ln therapy, after
my depression...

701
00:44:39,989 --> 00:44:42,424
l was afraid l was a lesbian.

702
00:44:42,424 --> 00:44:44,093
Why afraid?

703
00:44:44,093 --> 00:44:45,928
l don't know...

704
00:44:45,928 --> 00:44:48,263
Have you ever
slept with a woman?

705
00:44:48,263 --> 00:44:50,288
Yeah, a few times.

706
00:44:53,202 --> 00:44:54,669
You too?

707
00:44:55,704 --> 00:44:57,006
Uhhuh.

708
00:44:57,006 --> 00:44:58,374
God!

709
00:44:58,374 --> 00:45:00,672
l'm always so scared
ofbeing abnormal.

710
00:45:06,015 --> 00:45:08,584
lsn't that a lot?

711
00:45:08,584 --> 00:45:10,652
We'll send some to Mustafa...

712
00:45:10,652 --> 00:45:12,210
in Ouagadougou.

713
00:45:13,255 --> 00:45:15,624
They love
coulibiac in the Sahel.

714
00:45:15,624 --> 00:45:18,427
With sour cream
and Roben Mondavi.

715
00:45:18,427 --> 00:45:20,529
You're disgusting.

716
00:45:20,529 --> 00:45:22,297
Not at all!

717
00:45:22,297 --> 00:45:25,834
No one's more
devoted to the Negro.

718
00:45:25,834 --> 00:45:29,772
l personally took Mustafa
down to the strip last Thursday.

719
00:45:29,772 --> 00:45:30,939
When did he leave?

720
00:45:30,939 --> 00:45:32,041
The next day.

721
00:45:32,041 --> 00:45:33,409
That was the problem.

722
00:45:33,409 --> 00:45:37,012
ln 2 months he hadn't
laid a single Canadian.

723
00:45:37,012 --> 00:45:39,181
He was feeling so dejected.

724
00:45:39,181 --> 00:45:41,877
Don't you mean erected?

725
00:45:43,252 --> 00:45:47,456
Our coeds must be losing
interest in the Third World.

726
00:45:47,456 --> 00:45:50,125
Anyway, l took him
to St. Lawrence Street

727
00:45:50,125 --> 00:45:53,128
We spotted this
gorgeous blonde,

728
00:45:53,128 --> 00:45:54,830
tallerthan me...

729
00:45:54,830 --> 00:45:57,162
done up in red silk.

730
00:45:59,835 --> 00:46:02,104
Mustafa was licking his chops.

731
00:46:02,104 --> 00:46:04,273
l negotiated for him.

732
00:46:04,273 --> 00:46:06,798
Wouldn't want him to
squander UNESCO funds.

733
00:46:07,843 --> 00:46:10,813
Evening, Miss.
A pleasure to meet you.

734
00:46:10,813 --> 00:46:15,182
l'd like to introduce a
friend. A great guy, but shy.

735
00:46:16,218 --> 00:46:18,687
He's a brilliant historian.

736
00:46:18,687 --> 00:46:20,951
A specialist on Mossy culture.

737
00:46:23,058 --> 00:46:24,560
Think ofit...

738
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,329
as your contribution
to African relief...

739
00:46:27,329 --> 00:46:29,661
like singing in
We Are the World.

740
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:32,568
Get the picture?

741
00:46:32,568 --> 00:46:34,336
Okay with me...

742
00:46:34,336 --> 00:46:36,566
but your Negro's
in for a surprise.

743
00:46:37,806 --> 00:46:38,932
Oh boy!

744
00:46:40,109 --> 00:46:42,544
That's not quite
what we had in mind.

745
00:46:42,544 --> 00:46:44,513
l thought l'd bettertell you.

746
00:46:44,513 --> 00:46:45,948
Vey thoughtful!

747
00:46:45,948 --> 00:46:47,381
Vey!

748
00:46:48,550 --> 00:46:51,053
We'll be off.

749
00:46:51,053 --> 00:46:53,355
Goodnight...

750
00:46:53,355 --> 00:46:55,624
and good luck.

751
00:46:55,624 --> 00:46:56,784
You too.

752
00:46:59,728 --> 00:47:01,296
Come on.
Why?

753
00:47:01,296 --> 00:47:02,898
l'll explain later.

754
00:47:02,898 --> 00:47:04,266
She's racist!

755
00:47:04,266 --> 00:47:07,133
Get offit! She's not
racist, she's sexist.

756
00:47:11,073 --> 00:47:13,541
We walked overto
St. Louis Square...

757
00:47:13,575 --> 00:47:16,078
and found two lovely
little brunettes.

758
00:47:16,078 --> 00:47:18,740
l even took one for myself.

759
00:47:20,282 --> 00:47:22,017
l'd been feeling tired...

760
00:47:22,017 --> 00:47:24,086
and that's when
l like a brunette.

761
00:47:24,086 --> 00:47:27,356
Tall, lazy blonds
take too much work.

762
00:47:27,356 --> 00:47:29,591
ln sex, practice
makes perfect.

763
00:47:29,591 --> 00:47:34,363
My best lovers have always
been those who fucked the most.

764
00:47:34,363 --> 00:47:36,231
Are brunettes always best?

765
00:47:36,231 --> 00:47:40,435
lt depends. Forwinteryou want
someone big and warm.

766
00:47:40,435 --> 00:47:42,471
For summer someone tender.

767
00:47:42,471 --> 00:47:44,239
French girls for sparkle.

768
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,441
Fresh California orange juice!

769
00:47:46,441 --> 00:47:49,411
And the aromas!

770
00:47:49,411 --> 00:47:52,181
The Jewesses' and Arabs'
fragrance of camphor.

771
00:47:52,181 --> 00:47:56,518
The Vietnamese with their
scent of orange blossoms...

772
00:47:56,518 --> 00:47:57,986
Gets me excited.

773
00:47:57,986 --> 00:48:00,455
But do they have to be pros?

774
00:48:00,455 --> 00:48:03,392
lt takes longer
when they're not.

775
00:48:03,392 --> 00:48:04,793
You have to go cruising.

776
00:48:04,793 --> 00:48:06,795
lt's tonure...

777
00:48:06,795 --> 00:48:10,566
hanging out in bars, paying
for dinner, dancing in discos...

778
00:48:10,566 --> 00:48:12,267
You don't like dancing?

779
00:48:12,267 --> 00:48:13,835
l have always...

780
00:48:13,835 --> 00:48:17,372
absolutely abhorred dancing.

781
00:48:17,372 --> 00:48:20,943
The suffering l've endured
on the dance floor...

782
00:48:20,943 --> 00:48:23,138
just to please women!

783
00:48:24,646 --> 00:48:27,716
The worst pan is
the conversation.

784
00:48:27,716 --> 00:48:31,787
''Oh, l adore
Woody Allen's films too!''

785
00:48:31,787 --> 00:48:33,488
''Did you read Shogun ?''

786
00:48:33,488 --> 00:48:35,791
''Yeah, l love Bayshnikov.''

787
00:48:35,791 --> 00:48:37,492
''Now it's Patrick Dupont.''

788
00:48:37,492 --> 00:48:39,795
''Acid rain, terrible!''

789
00:48:39,795 --> 00:48:41,430
''Nuclear reactors, dreadful!''

790
00:48:41,430 --> 00:48:43,832
''Youth unemployment, awful!''

791
00:48:43,832 --> 00:48:46,468
''What's your view on
serial monogamy, Sylvie...?

792
00:48:46,468 --> 00:48:47,867
Nathalie? Julie? Sophie...?''

793
00:48:48,503 --> 00:48:51,529
You really have to
want to get laid!

794
00:48:56,378 --> 00:48:57,813
That's not all.

795
00:48:57,813 --> 00:48:59,948
Then you have to make her come.

796
00:48:59,948 --> 00:49:02,784
No piece of cake.

797
00:49:02,784 --> 00:49:04,820
You have to find her clitoris.

798
00:49:04,820 --> 00:49:05,988
My God!

799
00:49:05,988 --> 00:49:08,423
A delicate undenaking!

800
00:49:08,423 --> 00:49:11,560
Like looking for a
needle in a haystack.

801
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,497
You rack your brains to
recall Masters and Johnson...

802
00:49:15,497 --> 00:49:18,300
Shere Hite, the Gspot debate...

803
00:49:18,300 --> 00:49:20,202
Germaine Greer, Nancy Friday...

804
00:49:20,202 --> 00:49:23,505
Should you use your
fingers, tongue, or prick?

805
00:49:23,505 --> 00:49:25,707
You sneak a look at her...

806
00:49:25,707 --> 00:49:27,476
You think to yourself...

807
00:49:27,476 --> 00:49:29,645
''She looks like...''

808
00:49:29,645 --> 00:49:32,047
''l hope she...''

809
00:49:32,047 --> 00:49:33,582
''l wonder if...''

810
00:49:33,582 --> 00:49:36,016
lt's hell, absolute hell!

811
00:49:37,486 --> 00:49:39,655
l've never had those problems.

812
00:49:39,655 --> 00:49:41,390
Oh no?

813
00:49:41,390 --> 00:49:43,187
Come into my study.

814
00:49:47,529 --> 00:49:51,166
The Borneo heteropteyx...

815
00:49:51,166 --> 00:49:53,602
For 100 years, entomologists...

816
00:49:53,602 --> 00:49:56,038
searched forthe
male of this one...

817
00:49:56,038 --> 00:49:58,029
and the female of this one.

818
00:49:59,308 --> 00:50:01,843
A major issue in biology.

819
00:50:01,843 --> 00:50:05,280
Until one day they
were found screwing.

820
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,249
The 2 of them.

821
00:50:07,249 --> 00:50:09,484
He was the male to her.

822
00:50:09,484 --> 00:50:11,486
lt seems impossible.

823
00:50:11,486 --> 00:50:12,988
She's a reptile...

824
00:50:12,988 --> 00:50:15,824
and he's an insect.

825
00:50:15,824 --> 00:50:18,060
They have one thing in common.

826
00:50:18,060 --> 00:50:19,618
What?

827
00:50:21,663 --> 00:50:23,324
Fucking.

828
00:50:23,932 --> 00:50:26,196
Think about it.

829
00:50:34,943 --> 00:50:36,843
Sory.

830
00:50:41,283 --> 00:50:43,885
The beaches in
Sicily were desened.

831
00:50:43,885 --> 00:50:47,556
He was dying of the
heat in his uniform.

832
00:50:47,556 --> 00:50:48,790
Was he a policeman?

833
00:50:48,790 --> 00:50:50,348
A carabiniere .

834
00:50:50,392 --> 00:50:53,161
So l go in.

835
00:50:53,161 --> 00:50:55,891
l take off my
Tshin and shons...

836
00:50:57,265 --> 00:51:01,503
He stans fumbling
with his fly...

837
00:51:01,503 --> 00:51:04,806
but he can't get it undone.

838
00:51:04,806 --> 00:51:06,865
They're always anxious then.

839
00:51:08,076 --> 00:51:12,714
He was really wellbuilt,
shoulders broad as...

840
00:51:12,714 --> 00:51:14,116
Finally...

841
00:51:14,116 --> 00:51:15,517
he drops his briefs.

842
00:51:15,517 --> 00:51:18,887
The moment of truth!

843
00:51:18,887 --> 00:51:21,189
His penis was...

844
00:51:21,189 --> 00:51:22,884
minuscule!

845
00:51:25,660 --> 00:51:28,730
Honestly, like a baby's!

846
00:51:28,730 --> 00:51:30,288
Poor man.

847
00:51:31,633 --> 00:51:33,268
lt was eitherthe wine...

848
00:51:33,268 --> 00:51:36,638
orthe absurdity ofbeing
with a Sicilian cop...

849
00:51:36,638 --> 00:51:39,007
but l burst out laughing.

850
00:51:39,007 --> 00:51:41,202
l mean, uncontrollably!

851
00:51:42,477 --> 00:51:44,308
l laughed until l wept!

852
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:46,879
And him?

853
00:51:47,682 --> 00:51:49,985
Naturally...
it was a disaster.

854
00:51:49,985 --> 00:51:52,754
l didn't want to hun him.

855
00:51:52,754 --> 00:51:55,157
He was rather sweet.

856
00:51:55,157 --> 00:51:59,617
But it ended
in a complete fiasco.

857
00:52:01,430 --> 00:52:07,266
l even tried my ''octopus
with suckers'' routine.

858
00:52:08,703 --> 00:52:10,227
''Suckers''?

859
00:52:11,473 --> 00:52:13,703
Well, more or less.

860
00:52:15,310 --> 00:52:19,448
Mustn't make
fun of their penis.

861
00:52:19,448 --> 00:52:21,950
They're so preoccupied
with its size.

862
00:52:21,950 --> 00:52:24,119
''ls his biggerthan mine?''

863
00:52:24,119 --> 00:52:26,521
''Don't l got a big one?''

864
00:52:26,521 --> 00:52:28,623
lt's their major preoccupation.

865
00:52:28,623 --> 00:52:32,027
lt's true, they always ask.

866
00:52:32,027 --> 00:52:33,551
How would you know?

867
00:52:34,996 --> 00:52:36,131
Well...

868
00:52:36,131 --> 00:52:38,300
it's happened.
l can understand...

869
00:52:38,300 --> 00:52:41,102
l mean, it's pretty imponant.

870
00:52:41,102 --> 00:52:44,039
How can you say that?

871
00:52:44,039 --> 00:52:46,667
lf you're in love,
it's a detail.

872
00:52:48,043 --> 00:52:49,578
Some detail!

873
00:52:49,578 --> 00:52:52,570
l'm going to take a swim.

874
00:52:54,349 --> 00:52:55,650
You've upset her.

875
00:52:55,650 --> 00:52:57,586
Poor girl.

876
00:52:57,586 --> 00:52:59,781
lt's too hot, that's all.

877
00:53:01,256 --> 00:53:02,958
Worse still...

878
00:53:02,958 --> 00:53:05,119
is to talk about
a former lover...

879
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,264
''Beno�t could really
make me come!''

880
00:53:09,264 --> 00:53:13,166
The guy beside you
melts away like butter.

881
00:53:14,336 --> 00:53:16,404
You can't say that!

882
00:53:16,404 --> 00:53:17,873
Even more subtly...

883
00:53:17,873 --> 00:53:19,741
You pass a hotel and say...

884
00:53:19,741 --> 00:53:23,378
''Beno�t and l stayed here.''

885
00:53:23,378 --> 00:53:26,347
Sneak a look, and
he's green with jealousy.

886
00:53:28,049 --> 00:53:31,820
Orthey say, ''Before me
you didn't know what sex was.''

887
00:53:31,820 --> 00:53:33,989
l can't stand that!

888
00:53:33,989 --> 00:53:36,287
That's the time
to mention Beno�t.

889
00:53:37,692 --> 00:53:40,262
''lt's not the same,
darling. l love you...

890
00:53:40,262 --> 00:53:42,389
With Beno�t, it was...

891
00:53:44,232 --> 00:53:46,063
purely sexual.''

892
00:53:47,068 --> 00:53:49,229
You can feel him
turning to mush.

893
00:53:50,539 --> 00:53:53,875
Orwhen he senses
you're rating him...

894
00:53:53,875 --> 00:53:56,945
like for a restaurant guide.

895
00:53:56,945 --> 00:53:58,113
''A bit dowdy.

896
00:53:58,113 --> 00:54:01,207
Ponions somewhat stingy.''

897
00:54:13,628 --> 00:54:15,931
Or like for...

898
00:54:15,931 --> 00:54:17,933
a tourist guide.

899
00:54:17,933 --> 00:54:20,068
''Restored mill, but...

900
00:54:20,068 --> 00:54:22,468
the works are
purely decorative.''

901
00:54:25,206 --> 00:54:26,875
''Charming garden but...

902
00:54:26,875 --> 00:54:29,400
the fountain is dy.''

903
00:54:30,645 --> 00:54:33,842
''lmpressive manor, but
the tower is in ruins.''

904
00:54:35,483 --> 00:54:37,152
lfhe's in his 40's...

905
00:54:37,152 --> 00:54:40,986
you reminisce how young men
always wake up with hardons.

906
00:54:44,159 --> 00:54:47,662
Oryou calmly begin
to masturbate...

907
00:54:47,662 --> 00:54:50,498
after he's finished
his little number.

908
00:54:50,498 --> 00:54:51,863
That always gets them.

909
00:54:53,468 --> 00:54:55,236
You're terrible!

910
00:54:55,236 --> 00:54:58,340
Oh, l've done worse.

911
00:54:58,340 --> 00:55:00,433
l was with Roger
for 10 years.

912
00:55:01,776 --> 00:55:05,109
You can't imagine
what l put up with.

913
00:55:06,648 --> 00:55:09,217
l was constantly left
alone with the kids.

914
00:55:09,217 --> 00:55:11,052
He'd be out cheating on me.

915
00:55:11,052 --> 00:55:12,621
lt was hell.

916
00:55:12,621 --> 00:55:17,217
l stayed at home,
cheerful, loyal, warm.

917
00:55:18,593 --> 00:55:20,424
Till the day l'd had enough.

918
00:55:21,896 --> 00:55:23,488
And all of a sudden...

919
00:55:24,799 --> 00:55:26,323
something snapped.

920
00:55:30,839 --> 00:55:32,207
Hello, Roger?

921
00:55:32,207 --> 00:55:34,175
l'm in Brossard.

922
00:55:34,175 --> 00:55:37,479
Room 216, Continental Motel.

923
00:55:37,479 --> 00:55:40,081
l'm with a friend,
having so much fun...

924
00:55:40,081 --> 00:55:42,083
l think l'll spend the night.

925
00:55:42,083 --> 00:55:44,176
l didn't want you to wory.

926
00:55:45,353 --> 00:55:46,988
See you tomorrow, okay?

927
00:55:46,988 --> 00:55:49,218
Goodnight. Kiss you.

928
00:55:50,492 --> 00:55:51,726
Are you crazy?

929
00:55:51,726 --> 00:55:53,662
That'll teach him.

930
00:55:53,662 --> 00:55:56,031
He'll come here!

931
00:55:56,031 --> 00:55:57,632
Don't wory.

932
00:55:57,632 --> 00:55:59,434
Don't wory!

933
00:55:59,434 --> 00:56:00,802
He's this big!

934
00:56:00,802 --> 00:56:02,203
So?

935
00:56:02,203 --> 00:56:03,371
l'm not in shape!

936
00:56:03,371 --> 00:56:04,673
l'm no boxer like him!

937
00:56:04,673 --> 00:56:06,007
Scared?

938
00:56:06,007 --> 00:56:07,876
No, l'm thinking of you.

939
00:56:07,876 --> 00:56:10,311
Anyway, l can't stay.

940
00:56:10,311 --> 00:56:11,913
l have to get home.

941
00:56:11,913 --> 00:56:13,214
He won't care.

942
00:56:13,214 --> 00:56:14,549
He's violent!

943
00:56:14,549 --> 00:56:15,884
l know!

944
00:56:15,884 --> 00:56:17,681
He knocked out Yvan Rivard.

945
00:56:19,354 --> 00:56:20,981
You slept with Yvan?

946
00:56:22,390 --> 00:56:24,187
Don't forget your ring.

947
00:56:28,930 --> 00:56:34,669
l always fuck my wife better
after l've cheated on her.

948
00:56:34,669 --> 00:56:36,905
Guilt, that's all.

949
00:56:36,905 --> 00:56:38,907
No, it's physical.

950
00:56:38,907 --> 00:56:41,176
The comparison turns me on.

951
00:56:41,176 --> 00:56:45,613
The more you screw around,
the more you want to.

952
00:56:45,613 --> 00:56:49,017
To be happy,
l'd need 4 wives.

953
00:56:49,017 --> 00:56:51,953
Four, exactly as the Koran says.

954
00:56:51,953 --> 00:56:53,955
l'm vey happy with Louise...

955
00:56:53,955 --> 00:56:57,726
but l'd also take a writer,
say Susan Sontag...

956
00:56:57,726 --> 00:57:00,595
an Olympic high jumper...

957
00:57:00,595 --> 00:57:04,224
and a real sex maniac
for group encounters.

958
00:57:52,781 --> 00:57:54,715
Looks sinfully good!

959
00:57:57,685 --> 00:57:59,821
We won't mention calories.

960
00:57:59,821 --> 00:58:02,857
l put on a kilo last week.

961
00:58:02,857 --> 00:58:05,827
Too bad Mustafa
can't be here.

962
00:58:05,827 --> 00:58:07,862
Seems he had
otherfond memories.

963
00:58:07,862 --> 00:58:09,329
Like what?

964
00:58:11,266 --> 00:58:15,225
Well, l mean he must
have enjoyed his visit.

965
00:58:16,704 --> 00:58:19,707
What's the sauce?
A mousseline.

966
00:58:19,707 --> 00:58:21,442
But l made it with sour cream.

967
00:58:21,442 --> 00:58:23,278
lt seemed more Russian.

968
00:58:23,278 --> 00:58:26,948
l heard about a course
in creative cooking.

969
00:58:26,948 --> 00:58:29,617
You're not staning
with your courses again!

970
00:58:29,617 --> 00:58:30,985
Why not?

971
00:58:30,985 --> 00:58:35,390
Why are women so
obsessed with taking courses?

972
00:58:35,390 --> 00:58:37,125
lt's pretty obvious.

973
00:58:37,125 --> 00:58:39,594
The university's
full of them...

974
00:58:39,594 --> 00:58:42,797
madly taking notes on the
meaning of the Locarno Pact.

975
00:58:42,797 --> 00:58:44,399
l teach those courses.

976
00:58:44,399 --> 00:58:46,734
l still don't understand.

977
00:58:46,734 --> 00:58:48,203
That's why...

978
00:58:48,203 --> 00:58:52,473
Histoy is criticized for
dealing only with the victors.

979
00:58:52,473 --> 00:58:55,643
Often this is due to
the documents available.

980
00:58:55,643 --> 00:59:01,216
There are more records about
Egyptians than Nubians...

981
00:59:01,216 --> 00:59:05,119
more about Spaniards
than Mayas...

982
00:59:05,119 --> 00:59:09,351
and of course, many more
records about men than women.

983
00:59:11,159 --> 00:59:13,889
This limitation to
Histoy is vey real.

984
00:59:15,630 --> 00:59:18,533
There is perhaps also
a psychological reason.

985
00:59:18,533 --> 00:59:22,237
We far prefer hearing
about winners...

986
00:59:22,237 --> 00:59:24,467
than about losers.

987
00:59:27,609 --> 00:59:29,777
l don't mean your courses...

988
00:59:29,777 --> 00:59:34,582
But what is it about
studying German, the guitar...

989
00:59:34,582 --> 00:59:36,517
Tap dancing...
Shiatsu...

990
00:59:36,517 --> 00:59:37,950
Primal therapy...

991
00:59:39,153 --> 00:59:40,955
Nothing personal.

992
00:59:40,955 --> 00:59:43,124
Seems obvious.

993
00:59:43,124 --> 00:59:44,459
Not to me.

994
00:59:44,459 --> 00:59:47,762
Except for a pathological need
to have teachers, gurus...

995
00:59:47,762 --> 00:59:49,430
That's not it!

996
00:59:49,430 --> 00:59:52,934
lt's a way ofbreaking out.

997
00:59:52,934 --> 00:59:54,168
You can't understand,

998
00:59:54,168 --> 00:59:56,659
you got your Ph.D. at 26.

999
00:59:57,805 --> 00:59:59,407
When we were studying...

1000
00:59:59,407 --> 01:00:02,110
l was evey bit as
sman as the rest of you.

1001
01:00:02,110 --> 01:00:05,313
But l fell in love, like
a woman is supposed to.

1002
01:00:05,313 --> 01:00:08,883
So while you were at Berkeley,
and Pierre at Princeton...

1003
01:00:08,883 --> 01:00:14,255
l rotted in the county 'cause
Rogerwas on his nature trip.

1004
01:00:14,255 --> 01:00:16,491
You seemed happy enough.

1005
01:00:16,491 --> 01:00:17,825
l was happy.

1006
01:00:17,825 --> 01:00:21,696
l had kids, but instead
of studying demography...

1007
01:00:21,696 --> 01:00:24,028
l learned how to make jam.

1008
01:00:24,365 --> 01:00:27,268
Now l have to work as a TA...

1009
01:00:27,268 --> 01:00:30,505
at one fifth your salay,
and without job security.

1010
01:00:30,505 --> 01:00:34,142
l'm not covered by the best
contract in Nonh America.

1011
01:00:34,142 --> 01:00:36,444
l can't take...

1012
01:00:36,444 --> 01:00:38,776
a years sabbatical in Brazil.

1013
01:00:40,515 --> 01:00:42,517
l have to do radio interviews...

1014
01:00:42,517 --> 01:00:45,219
to send my kids
to private school.

1015
01:00:45,219 --> 01:00:47,084
l'll never have tenure.

1016
01:00:52,727 --> 01:00:54,462
l'm getting old.

1017
01:00:54,462 --> 01:00:58,626
l can't read and take
notes for 5 hours straight.

1018
01:01:01,970 --> 01:01:03,870
My memoy's going too.

1019
01:01:07,442 --> 01:01:10,275
l had to referto the
KelloggBriand Pact.

1020
01:01:11,479 --> 01:01:13,715
l couldn't remember Briand...

1021
01:01:13,715 --> 01:01:16,517
only the name of the cereal...

1022
01:01:16,517 --> 01:01:18,576
Kellogg's Corn Flakes.

1023
01:01:22,023 --> 01:01:24,958
That's not age, it's drugs!

1024
01:01:26,094 --> 01:01:27,994
You're an old hippy.

1025
01:01:29,030 --> 01:01:31,760
l'll bet you remember
Souvanna Phouma!

1026
01:01:32,934 --> 01:01:35,069
And Souphanouvong!
And?

1027
01:01:35,069 --> 01:01:37,629
Phoumi Nosavan!

1028
01:01:38,740 --> 01:01:40,708
What's that?

1029
01:01:40,708 --> 01:01:43,778
Laotian politicians 2
halfbrothers and a cousin.

1030
01:01:43,778 --> 01:01:47,148
The scourge of
contemporay histoy exams.

1031
01:01:47,148 --> 01:01:49,946
Worse than SchleswigHolstein.

1032
01:01:49,984 --> 01:01:57,481
You never really know how
you should lead your life.

1033
01:01:57,525 --> 01:02:00,962
So your kids got in
the way of your Ph.D....

1034
01:02:00,962 --> 01:02:02,764
but they're yours.

1035
01:02:02,764 --> 01:02:05,392
That' s something to treasure.

1036
01:02:11,205 --> 01:02:12,640
Who's that?

1037
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:13,908
Afriend of mommy's.

1038
01:02:13,908 --> 01:02:15,376
What's he doing there?

1039
01:02:15,376 --> 01:02:16,844
Sleeping.

1040
01:02:16,844 --> 01:02:19,711
l want him to go!

1041
01:02:21,682 --> 01:02:23,309
l'm going.

1042
01:02:26,587 --> 01:02:28,714
l always wanted a child.

1043
01:02:32,293 --> 01:02:34,562
Children are life...

1044
01:02:34,562 --> 01:02:36,964
an affirmation oflife.

1045
01:02:36,964 --> 01:02:40,735
l was going to adopt
a Cambodian child.

1046
01:02:40,735 --> 01:02:44,671
A social worker had
to evaluate me, so...

1047
01:02:46,507 --> 01:02:49,010
Betterto have
kids who love you...

1048
01:02:49,010 --> 01:02:50,812
than to end up like Pierre...

1049
01:02:50,812 --> 01:02:54,248
alone, bitter,
without any family.

1050
01:02:54,248 --> 01:02:56,512
But l do have a family.

1051
01:02:58,820 --> 01:03:01,345
Here, sitting around this table.

1052
01:03:06,127 --> 01:03:08,763
l feel closerto this family...
than to my brother

1053
01:03:08,763 --> 01:03:09,997
the insurance broker...

1054
01:03:09,997 --> 01:03:11,632
or my parents...

1055
01:03:11,632 --> 01:03:15,336
who could neverfigure me out...

1056
01:03:15,336 --> 01:03:17,827
and complain 'cause
l don't go to mass.

1057
01:03:20,641 --> 01:03:22,443
You're my family.

1058
01:03:22,443 --> 01:03:24,979
I Someone knocks at the door ]

1059
01:03:24,979 --> 01:03:26,970
Who can that be?

1060
01:03:28,382 --> 01:03:30,373
Are we expecting anyone?

1061
01:03:40,428 --> 01:03:42,623
Diane, it's foryou.

1062
01:03:44,499 --> 01:03:46,524
He was here earlier.

1063
01:03:56,611 --> 01:03:59,637
l never see anyone
outside the depanment.

1064
01:04:01,215 --> 01:04:03,149
l'm like you.

1065
01:04:10,725 --> 01:04:12,386
Take off your glasses.

1066
01:04:21,936 --> 01:04:24,739
Mario, you haven't
met Dominique...

1067
01:04:24,739 --> 01:04:26,174
Louise...
Hello Mario.

1068
01:04:26,174 --> 01:04:28,836
...and Danielle.

1069
01:04:31,312 --> 01:04:33,143
l'll get you a chair.

1070
01:04:47,862 --> 01:04:50,231
Would you like some coulibiac?

1071
01:04:50,231 --> 01:04:51,899
Some what?

1072
01:04:51,899 --> 01:04:55,836
lt's a salmon pie, but l
used trout instead of salmon.

1073
01:04:55,836 --> 01:04:58,539
lt's good,
it's a Russian recipe.

1074
01:04:58,539 --> 01:05:00,675
l don't like fish.

1075
01:05:00,675 --> 01:05:03,644
Would you like some
Stilton cheese?

1076
01:05:03,644 --> 01:05:04,906
l'm not hungy.

1077
01:05:04,946 --> 01:05:06,614
But you didn't eat.

1078
01:05:06,614 --> 01:05:09,811
Have some wine at least.

1079
01:05:11,219 --> 01:05:12,811
Got any beer?

1080
01:05:23,664 --> 01:05:25,996
Do you live around here?

1081
01:05:27,134 --> 01:05:28,396
Talking to me?

1082
01:05:30,938 --> 01:05:32,872
Are you from the area?

1083
01:05:47,455 --> 01:05:50,524
You may be wrong about
my getting old alone.

1084
01:05:50,524 --> 01:05:52,026
l probably won't make it.

1085
01:05:52,026 --> 01:05:53,427
There's lung cancer...

1086
01:05:53,427 --> 01:05:55,529
hean attacks...

1087
01:05:55,529 --> 01:05:57,732
Women live to old age, not men.

1088
01:05:57,732 --> 01:05:59,967
lsn't that levelling out?

1089
01:05:59,967 --> 01:06:01,702
Just the opposite.

1090
01:06:01,702 --> 01:06:05,172
Women's life expectancy is 78.

1091
01:06:05,172 --> 01:06:07,341
For men it's 70.

1092
01:06:07,341 --> 01:06:09,036
The gap keeps widening.

1093
01:06:09,076 --> 01:06:12,947
That's the crucial
change in our lives.

1094
01:06:12,947 --> 01:06:15,316
Less than 200 years ago...

1095
01:06:15,316 --> 01:06:18,552
women lived to about 36.

1096
01:06:18,552 --> 01:06:20,955
Not a long life.

1097
01:06:20,955 --> 01:06:25,092
The records are full
of widows and widowers...

1098
01:06:25,092 --> 01:06:27,328
orphans and stepchildren.

1099
01:06:27,328 --> 01:06:30,765
That's all vanished
in less than a centuy.

1100
01:06:30,765 --> 01:06:32,933
What's with this beer?

1101
01:06:32,933 --> 01:06:35,503
lt's imponed Pilsner.

1102
01:06:35,503 --> 01:06:37,538
You like this?

1103
01:06:37,538 --> 01:06:40,098
Occasionally.

1104
01:06:42,877 --> 01:06:44,811
Think about it, marriages...

1105
01:06:45,279 --> 01:06:48,049
lasted an average of 15 years.

1106
01:06:48,049 --> 01:06:50,818
We've been married 15 years.

1107
01:06:50,818 --> 01:06:53,821
Five generations back
it would all be over.

1108
01:06:53,821 --> 01:06:55,948
One of you would be dead.

1109
01:06:58,059 --> 01:06:59,617
You should write
a paper on that.

1110
01:07:00,928 --> 01:07:05,499
17,000 scholarly anicles
are published evey day.

1111
01:07:05,499 --> 01:07:07,068
One more or less...

1112
01:07:07,068 --> 01:07:08,969
l've had enough of this.

1113
01:07:08,969 --> 01:07:10,771
We're still eating.

1114
01:07:10,771 --> 01:07:12,506
This is a drag.

1115
01:07:12,506 --> 01:07:14,371
We're talking.

1116
01:07:15,643 --> 01:07:17,508
lntellectuals love to talk.

1117
01:07:17,545 --> 01:07:20,448
All you do is talk.

1118
01:07:20,448 --> 01:07:23,017
All afternoon they
went on about sex.

1119
01:07:23,017 --> 01:07:24,814
l expected an orgy.

1120
01:07:24,852 --> 01:07:27,844
lnstead, the big
thrill is a fish pie.

1121
01:07:29,924 --> 01:07:32,159
What are you suggesting?

1122
01:07:32,159 --> 01:07:34,795
When l'm horny, l fuck.

1123
01:07:34,795 --> 01:07:36,097
What d'you say?

1124
01:07:36,097 --> 01:07:38,199
Mario, please.

1125
01:07:38,199 --> 01:07:40,190
Well, how 'bout it?

1126
01:07:46,307 --> 01:07:48,275
l'll be outside.

1127
01:08:03,824 --> 01:08:08,022
lt was delicious,
but l'm not hungy.

1128
01:08:11,699 --> 01:08:13,257
Excuse me.

1129
01:08:19,940 --> 01:08:22,408
l didn't think she
was that far gone.

1130
01:08:49,203 --> 01:08:51,535
People should speak about...
what they know, that's it.

1131
01:08:52,940 --> 01:08:54,809
The Pope knows all about...

1132
01:08:54,809 --> 01:08:57,645
masturbation and
prostate ailments.

1133
01:08:57,645 --> 01:08:59,510
He can talk about that.

1134
01:09:01,215 --> 01:09:02,450
Banking too.

1135
01:09:02,450 --> 01:09:05,681
And the ClA. Don't
underestimate the Pope.

1136
01:09:08,656 --> 01:09:12,026
Marx was your average
middleclass German...

1137
01:09:12,026 --> 01:09:16,464
who fucked the maid
behind his wife's back.

1138
01:09:16,464 --> 01:09:21,094
His theories are rooted
in his sense of guilt.

1139
01:09:22,736 --> 01:09:24,605
Same for Freud.

1140
01:09:24,605 --> 01:09:27,107
A latent homosexual...

1141
01:09:27,107 --> 01:09:29,944
unable to lay his
wife after age 40...

1142
01:09:29,944 --> 01:09:32,913
hot and bothered over
his female patients.

1143
01:09:32,913 --> 01:09:35,483
His quarrels with Jung...

1144
01:09:35,483 --> 01:09:38,352
were really about women...

1145
01:09:38,352 --> 01:09:40,013
about sex.

1146
01:09:44,758 --> 01:09:46,694
l get a kick out of eminent...

1147
01:09:46,694 --> 01:09:48,596
sociologists
and psychologists...

1148
01:09:48,596 --> 01:09:52,366
who spew fonh
theories of sexuality...

1149
01:09:52,366 --> 01:09:54,068
when l've seen them...

1150
01:09:54,068 --> 01:09:58,334
being flogged with wet
towels in a massage parlour.

1151
01:09:59,473 --> 01:10:01,342
You go to places like that?

1152
01:10:01,342 --> 01:10:03,277
Sure.

1153
01:10:03,277 --> 01:10:04,645
Often?

1154
01:10:04,645 --> 01:10:06,313
Yeah.

1155
01:10:06,313 --> 01:10:08,182
How do you feel about it?

1156
01:10:08,182 --> 01:10:10,584
How l feel?

1157
01:10:10,584 --> 01:10:13,254
Well, l mean...

1158
01:10:13,254 --> 01:10:15,823
ifl everfound out
R�my had been to one...

1159
01:10:15,823 --> 01:10:17,825
l'd neverforgive him.

1160
01:10:17,825 --> 01:10:19,593
Why not?

1161
01:10:19,593 --> 01:10:21,996
He's got me.

1162
01:10:21,996 --> 01:10:25,261
lfhe wants a massage,
l'll be happy to give him one.

1163
01:10:27,067 --> 01:10:28,762
l don't go to those places.

1164
01:10:30,004 --> 01:10:32,039
That's no surprise.

1165
01:10:32,039 --> 01:10:33,207
What do you mean?

1166
01:10:33,207 --> 01:10:37,177
Want me to describe
a female fantasy?

1167
01:10:37,177 --> 01:10:38,838
The female fantasy?

1168
01:10:40,814 --> 01:10:42,883
The woman is at home...

1169
01:10:42,883 --> 01:10:45,819
in the nest she has
so lovingly decorated...

1170
01:10:45,819 --> 01:10:48,722
her husband or lover arrives.

1171
01:10:48,722 --> 01:10:52,059
He's brought flowers
and a bottle of champagne.

1172
01:10:52,059 --> 01:10:54,721
He is extremely nice.

1173
01:10:56,130 --> 01:10:59,156
They spend a pleasant evening...

1174
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:01,702
and make love.

1175
01:11:01,702 --> 01:11:03,397
End of fantasy.

1176
01:11:04,705 --> 01:11:07,299
What a bore!

1177
01:11:10,210 --> 01:11:12,479
Whenever he
talks about love...

1178
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,215
he makes it seem ridiculous.

1179
01:11:15,215 --> 01:11:17,518
But Pierre...

1180
01:11:17,518 --> 01:11:21,255
don't you realize the
lives those poorwomen lead?

1181
01:11:21,255 --> 01:11:23,824
How they're forced
to work there?

1182
01:11:23,824 --> 01:11:25,659
You might as well be a rapist.

1183
01:11:25,659 --> 01:11:27,628
lt's just as bad.

1184
01:11:27,628 --> 01:11:30,864
Those poor girls...
they need help.

1185
01:11:30,864 --> 01:11:32,132
How do you know?

1186
01:11:32,132 --> 01:11:35,101
l've seen stories on them.

1187
01:11:37,871 --> 01:11:39,840
Thursday afternoon l can't.

1188
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:43,911
l'll miss
''Demographic Methodology''.

1189
01:11:43,911 --> 01:11:46,213
What about after?

1190
01:11:46,213 --> 01:11:50,884
l was hoping to take
''Statistics and the Computer''.

1191
01:11:50,884 --> 01:11:54,388
Be reasonable,
Thursday's our busiest day.

1192
01:11:54,388 --> 01:11:58,392
Manon can't get a sitter
and Carole's husband is home.

1193
01:11:58,392 --> 01:12:00,060
What'll l do?

1194
01:12:00,060 --> 01:12:03,664
lfl miss that course
l'll never be able to keep up.

1195
01:12:03,664 --> 01:12:05,188
We'll see.

1196
01:12:15,943 --> 01:12:17,945
lt's been a while.

1197
01:12:17,945 --> 01:12:20,247
lt's end of term.

1198
01:12:20,247 --> 01:12:23,651
l'm up to my neck
in corrections.

1199
01:12:23,651 --> 01:12:25,486
You need a good massage.

1200
01:12:25,486 --> 01:12:26,987
With shower?

1201
01:12:26,987 --> 01:12:28,689
Yeah.

1202
01:12:28,689 --> 01:12:33,661
This afternoon l have
Miss Kim, Miss Sandra...

1203
01:12:33,661 --> 01:12:35,219
and Miss Susan.

1204
01:12:37,564 --> 01:12:39,133
A new girl.

1205
01:12:39,133 --> 01:12:41,001
She only works pan time.

1206
01:12:41,001 --> 01:12:43,003
Vey well liked.

1207
01:12:43,003 --> 01:12:44,938
l recommend her.

1208
01:12:44,938 --> 01:12:47,532
Alright, l'll take yourword.

1209
01:12:49,943 --> 01:12:54,505
One regularwith shower.

1210
01:12:56,016 --> 01:12:57,251
Coming .

1211
01:12:57,251 --> 01:12:58,843
lt won't be long.

1212
01:13:07,127 --> 01:13:08,856
This way.

1213
01:13:12,433 --> 01:13:14,264
See you later.

1214
01:13:28,215 --> 01:13:29,750
You work pan time?

1215
01:13:29,750 --> 01:13:31,151
Yeah, l'm a student.

1216
01:13:31,151 --> 01:13:32,386
What are you in?

1217
01:13:32,386 --> 01:13:33,853
Histoy.

1218
01:13:35,723 --> 01:13:37,491
At the university?

1219
01:13:37,491 --> 01:13:40,358
Yeah, my first semester.

1220
01:13:41,762 --> 01:13:44,665
People go on about how
we live in a violent society.

1221
01:13:44,665 --> 01:13:46,462
lt comes up on TV all the time.

1222
01:13:52,940 --> 01:13:56,643
From a historical perspective,
that's just not true.

1223
01:13:56,643 --> 01:13:58,611
lt's a relatively peaceful age.

1224
01:14:00,647 --> 01:14:02,376
Yourtowel?

1225
01:14:10,491 --> 01:14:12,326
Your glasses?

1226
01:14:12,326 --> 01:14:13,850
What?

1227
01:14:24,371 --> 01:14:29,143
Reponers get all worked up
because of 10% unemployment.

1228
01:14:29,143 --> 01:14:31,612
When we think about
London back in 1850

1229
01:14:31,612 --> 01:14:33,747
having a population of millions

1230
01:14:33,747 --> 01:14:37,012
600,000 people were
literally starving to death.

1231
01:14:40,888 --> 01:14:45,757
That's what l like about
histoy, it's so reassuring.

1232
01:14:50,664 --> 01:14:51,965
Papers finished?

1233
01:14:51,965 --> 01:14:55,202
l still have one
in Mediaeval Histoy.

1234
01:14:55,202 --> 01:14:57,137
What's your subject?

1235
01:14:57,137 --> 01:14:58,934
Millenniarism.

1236
01:14:58,972 --> 01:15:02,772
l'm fascinated by all
the talk about the year 2000.

1237
01:15:06,079 --> 01:15:07,842
Do you want the special?

1238
01:15:11,552 --> 01:15:12,686
Yeah.

1239
01:15:12,686 --> 01:15:13,887
The price is...

1240
01:15:13,887 --> 01:15:17,891
25$ for manual, 40$ for oral.
l don't go funher.

1241
01:15:17,891 --> 01:15:19,756
Let's make it by hand.

1242
01:15:21,195 --> 01:15:22,462
Should l pay now?

1243
01:15:22,462 --> 01:15:23,622
No, after.

1244
01:15:24,898 --> 01:15:27,100
That's why the year
1000 interests me.

1245
01:15:27,100 --> 01:15:29,136
ln Europe, it was a major event.

1246
01:15:29,136 --> 01:15:34,508
People believed that on
Januay 1 of the year 1000,

1247
01:15:34,508 --> 01:15:36,243
the world would end.

1248
01:15:36,243 --> 01:15:38,612
Gabriel's trumpet...

1249
01:15:38,612 --> 01:15:43,617
the Four Horsemen, the
Last Judgement, the whole bit.

1250
01:15:43,617 --> 01:15:45,812
God, l forgot to
take off my robe.

1251
01:15:46,453 --> 01:15:47,921
l'm not vey sexy.

1252
01:15:47,921 --> 01:15:50,549
You're just fine.

1253
01:15:52,125 --> 01:15:54,094
The churches were packed.

1254
01:15:54,094 --> 01:15:58,599
People sold their houses and
gave their money to the poor.

1255
01:15:58,599 --> 01:16:01,935
Others whipped themselves
during public processions.

1256
01:16:01,935 --> 01:16:03,070
Some even...

1257
01:16:03,070 --> 01:16:06,198
kissed lepers and
licked their sores.

1258
01:16:07,741 --> 01:16:09,142
What interests me...

1259
01:16:09,142 --> 01:16:11,111
Excuse me...

1260
01:16:11,111 --> 01:16:12,779
l'm about to come.

1261
01:16:12,779 --> 01:16:13,947
Oh, sory.

1262
01:16:13,947 --> 01:16:15,710
l talk too much.

1263
01:16:29,296 --> 01:16:30,786
Thank you, Miss.

1264
01:16:33,233 --> 01:16:34,928
My pleasure, Sir.

1265
01:16:39,473 --> 01:16:42,309
That's when it happened.

1266
01:16:42,309 --> 01:16:45,345
l fell head over heels in love.

1267
01:16:45,345 --> 01:16:48,916
Ejaculating while
discussing the millennium...

1268
01:16:48,916 --> 01:16:53,080
was intellectually and
physically overwhelming.

1269
01:16:59,159 --> 01:17:03,030
Signs of the empire's
decline are everywhere.

1270
01:17:03,030 --> 01:17:07,768
Society despises
its own institutions...

1271
01:17:07,768 --> 01:17:09,369
the binh rate keeps dropping...

1272
01:17:09,369 --> 01:17:11,338
men refuse to serve
in the army...

1273
01:17:11,338 --> 01:17:14,708
the national debt
is out of control...

1274
01:17:14,708 --> 01:17:17,878
the work week is
getting shoner...

1275
01:17:17,878 --> 01:17:21,746
the bureaucracies are rampant...
the elites are in decay...

1276
01:17:24,017 --> 01:17:27,220
With the collapse of
the MarxistLeninist dream...

1277
01:17:27,220 --> 01:17:29,122
and model exists...

1278
01:17:29,122 --> 01:17:31,258
of which we can say...

1279
01:17:31,258 --> 01:17:33,192
''This is how we want to live.''

1280
01:17:35,062 --> 01:17:37,230
ln our personal lives...

1281
01:17:37,230 --> 01:17:39,866
unless one is a
mystic or a saint...

1282
01:17:39,866 --> 01:17:44,538
there are no models to live by.

1283
01:17:44,538 --> 01:17:49,339
Our vey existence
is being eroded.

1284
01:18:06,393 --> 01:18:09,329
And you believe this
process is inevitable?

1285
01:18:09,329 --> 01:18:10,831
Yes, absolutely.

1286
01:18:10,831 --> 01:18:14,534
Though there will always
be charlatans claiming...

1287
01:18:14,534 --> 01:18:17,571
salvation lies
in communications...

1288
01:18:17,571 --> 01:18:21,375
microchips, the return
to religion, physical fitness...

1289
01:18:21,375 --> 01:18:24,111
or some other idiocy.

1290
01:18:24,111 --> 01:18:29,583
A civilization's decline
is as inevitable as old age.

1291
01:18:29,583 --> 01:18:32,953
We can ty to slow
down the process.

1292
01:18:32,953 --> 01:18:34,755
That's all.

1293
01:18:34,755 --> 01:18:39,158
We're fonunate here to be
on the outskins of the empire.

1294
01:18:39,793 --> 01:18:41,828
The shocks are less violent.

1295
01:18:41,828 --> 01:18:44,364
Life in these times...

1296
01:18:44,364 --> 01:18:46,700
can be vey pleasant
in some respects.

1297
01:18:46,700 --> 01:18:48,101
Anyway...

1298
01:18:48,101 --> 01:18:53,095
our mindset precludes
any otherform of experience.

1299
01:18:54,875 --> 01:18:57,010
Few of us would be able...

1300
01:18:57,010 --> 01:19:00,605
to live among the Puritans
ofNew England in the 1650's.

1301
01:19:02,716 --> 01:19:05,446
Thank you, Dominique StArnaud.

1302
01:19:07,554 --> 01:19:09,647
That was cheerful.

1303
01:19:13,293 --> 01:19:15,488
Well, l don't agree.

1304
01:19:17,864 --> 01:19:22,335
l'm sure there are expens who
can prove just the opposite...

1305
01:19:22,335 --> 01:19:26,640
that we're living in an
age ofincredible rebinh...

1306
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:29,509
that science has never
progressed so fast...

1307
01:19:29,509 --> 01:19:31,945
that life has never been better.

1308
01:19:31,945 --> 01:19:36,349
lt's impossible to understand
the age you live in.

1309
01:19:36,349 --> 01:19:40,120
All you can do is
ty to be happy.

1310
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,222
That's what people
have always wanted.

1311
01:19:42,222 --> 01:19:46,226
The rest invent theories
to justify their misey.

1312
01:19:46,226 --> 01:19:48,328
You said so yourself.

1313
01:19:48,328 --> 01:19:51,565
Just because you choose...

1314
01:19:51,565 --> 01:19:53,967
to live all alone...

1315
01:19:53,967 --> 01:19:56,436
and sacrifice your
life to a career...

1316
01:19:56,436 --> 01:19:59,172
doesn't mean that
ifl'm lucid...

1317
01:19:59,172 --> 01:20:01,163
l have to be depressed.

1318
01:20:10,417 --> 01:20:13,386
You haven't said a
word about the book.

1319
01:20:13,420 --> 01:20:18,625
l bet they agree with me
but are scared to say so.

1320
01:20:18,625 --> 01:20:22,755
l think they feel superior.

1321
01:20:23,997 --> 01:20:25,430
Superior? Why?

1322
01:20:29,236 --> 01:20:31,932
Because you've
both slept with me.

1323
01:20:50,357 --> 01:20:53,493
What does that
have to do with it?

1324
01:20:53,493 --> 01:20:57,063
l think that
for men like you...

1325
01:20:57,063 --> 01:20:59,896
love always entails
a struggle for power.

1326
01:21:01,401 --> 01:21:05,605
R�my's often said he'd like
to seduce a big intellectual...

1327
01:21:05,605 --> 01:21:07,240
l don't know, say...

1328
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:08,675
Susan Sontag.

1329
01:21:08,675 --> 01:21:11,235
Right.

1330
01:21:11,311 --> 01:21:13,413
lt's the urge
to appropriate her.

1331
01:21:13,413 --> 01:21:17,440
To dominate her,
almost physically.

1332
01:21:18,652 --> 01:21:20,654
Come on...

1333
01:21:20,654 --> 01:21:24,454
it can also be the desire
to share, to be with...

1334
01:21:24,491 --> 01:21:26,760
Perhaps...

1335
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:32,065
but l can't trust the disdain
of men who've made me come...

1336
01:21:32,065 --> 01:21:34,158
who've ''had'' me.

1337
01:21:35,435 --> 01:21:37,804
Well, who knows...

1338
01:21:37,804 --> 01:21:40,364
l may be wrong.

1339
01:22:01,628 --> 01:22:03,563
l've always wondered...

1340
01:22:03,563 --> 01:22:06,967
Would we see the missiles
in a nuclearwar?

1341
01:22:06,967 --> 01:22:09,603
No, they'd be too high.

1342
01:22:09,603 --> 01:22:12,072
But when they stan to fall?

1343
01:22:12,072 --> 01:22:15,976
The missiles don't
fall, just the bombs.

1344
01:22:15,976 --> 01:22:18,178
And they're small.

1345
01:22:18,178 --> 01:22:21,748
Would we see the
explosions in the US?

1346
01:22:21,748 --> 01:22:26,014
lf Plattsburgh were hit...
we'd probably see the fireball.

1347
01:22:33,827 --> 01:22:36,229
Do you have any valium?

1348
01:22:36,229 --> 01:22:39,596
l don't think so,
but we'll get you something.

1349
01:22:48,074 --> 01:22:50,844
l was taking too much
valium, l had to stop.

1350
01:22:50,844 --> 01:22:52,612
There's librium.

1351
01:22:52,612 --> 01:22:54,614
Anything else?

1352
01:22:54,614 --> 01:22:56,650
l've got Mogadons and Sorpax.

1353
01:22:56,650 --> 01:22:59,050
l'll take 2.

1354
01:23:18,605 --> 01:23:20,800
lt's hit you hard, eh?

1355
01:23:29,182 --> 01:23:31,384
l'd like to have
a baby with you.

1356
01:23:31,384 --> 01:23:32,786
To remind me...

1357
01:23:32,786 --> 01:23:34,413
For later.

1358
01:23:36,489 --> 01:23:40,026
You have to like
yourself to procreate.

1359
01:23:40,026 --> 01:23:42,562
l don't.

1360
01:23:42,562 --> 01:23:44,331
l'm not optimistic enough.

1361
01:23:44,331 --> 01:23:46,128
You'd be a good father.

1362
01:23:47,734 --> 01:23:51,104
lntellectuals rarely
make good parents.

1363
01:23:51,104 --> 01:23:54,040
Think of Diane's
kids, or R�my's.

1364
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:55,530
Disasters.

1365
01:23:56,309 --> 01:23:58,144
And l'm too selfish.

1366
01:23:58,144 --> 01:24:00,580
Having to listen
to heavy metal...

1367
01:24:00,580 --> 01:24:03,016
when l'm reading...

1368
01:24:03,016 --> 01:24:04,918
You are going
to grow old alone.

1369
01:24:04,918 --> 01:24:06,943
Having kids won't change that.

1370
01:24:08,154 --> 01:24:10,190
They'd put me in a home...

1371
01:24:10,190 --> 01:24:14,286
and resent having to
visit me at Christmas.

1372
01:24:16,396 --> 01:24:17,761
l love you.

1373
01:24:18,898 --> 01:24:20,866
l love you too.

1374
01:24:29,275 --> 01:24:31,211
Want to make love?

1375
01:24:31,211 --> 01:24:32,735
l'm too tired.

1376
01:24:36,716 --> 01:24:40,387
You'll have to ask
some kid, like Alain.

1377
01:24:40,387 --> 01:24:43,223
He can't hope for better.

1378
01:24:43,223 --> 01:24:46,989
l want to make love
to you, you old fool.

1379
01:24:47,093 --> 01:24:48,828
You never understand.

1380
01:24:48,828 --> 01:24:51,558
l know you're
just after my body.

1381
01:24:52,799 --> 01:24:54,926
You can hardly get it up!

1382
01:24:55,235 --> 01:24:57,070
l love you, tubby.

1383
01:24:57,070 --> 01:24:58,805
Me too, you're real lucky.

1384
01:24:58,805 --> 01:25:00,432
Don't l know.

1385
01:25:04,544 --> 01:25:05,745
Scotch?

1386
01:25:05,745 --> 01:25:08,181
No, l don't like it.

1387
01:25:08,181 --> 01:25:10,316
Too bad.

1388
01:25:10,316 --> 01:25:12,118
Why did you do it?

1389
01:25:12,118 --> 01:25:13,319
What?

1390
01:25:13,319 --> 01:25:15,651
Tell Louise
about you and R�my.

1391
01:25:17,424 --> 01:25:19,551
lt just slipped out.

1392
01:25:23,096 --> 01:25:24,731
l wanted to get back at her.

1393
01:25:24,731 --> 01:25:26,323
Why?

1394
01:25:28,101 --> 01:25:29,602
l don't know.

1395
01:25:29,602 --> 01:25:31,838
lt just came over me.

1396
01:25:31,838 --> 01:25:33,931
lt's not like you.

1397
01:25:36,042 --> 01:25:37,544
You're always so calm...

1398
01:25:37,544 --> 01:25:39,512
so cheerful.

1399
01:25:39,512 --> 01:25:41,915
l've never seen you
lose your patience.

1400
01:25:41,915 --> 01:25:44,617
lt's one thing
l can't stomach.

1401
01:25:44,617 --> 01:25:46,119
What?

1402
01:25:46,119 --> 01:25:47,484
Blindness.

1403
01:25:48,955 --> 01:25:51,788
People who are
unable to see reality.

1404
01:25:56,329 --> 01:25:58,264
Talk to me.

1405
01:25:58,264 --> 01:25:59,566
Tomorrow.

1406
01:25:59,566 --> 01:26:01,761
What went on with Dominique?

1407
01:26:03,903 --> 01:26:05,427
Nothing.

1408
01:26:06,806 --> 01:26:08,569
That's not what she said.

1409
01:26:12,278 --> 01:26:14,180
Can we talk
about it tomorrow?

1410
01:26:14,180 --> 01:26:16,478
ljust took Sorpax.

1411
01:26:24,057 --> 01:26:26,389
Talk to me.

1412
01:26:32,999 --> 01:26:34,967
Don't cy.

1413
01:26:36,769 --> 01:26:39,101
lt's not wonh cying over.

1414
01:26:45,879 --> 01:26:49,449
ljust can't take these
middleclass housewives...

1415
01:26:49,449 --> 01:26:52,816
with their cute
husbands and cute kids.

1416
01:26:55,021 --> 01:26:58,923
l've watched so many men
getting dressed at 2 am.

1417
01:27:01,995 --> 01:27:04,364
Still, R�my's special...

1418
01:27:04,364 --> 01:27:06,766
he's screwed all Montr�al.

1419
01:27:06,766 --> 01:27:09,997
He says he's like the
Red Cross, a universal donor.

1420
01:27:11,471 --> 01:27:13,632
Two years he slept with Diane.

1421
01:27:14,307 --> 01:27:15,975
Oh yeah?
With Diane?

1422
01:27:15,975 --> 01:27:17,410
Yup.

1423
01:27:17,410 --> 01:27:19,312
Anyone in a skin at school...

1424
01:27:19,312 --> 01:27:21,780
down to the last secretay.

1425
01:27:23,249 --> 01:27:25,240
And then there
are all the others.

1426
01:27:29,022 --> 01:27:31,724
He told me he laid
Louise's sister...

1427
01:27:31,724 --> 01:27:33,749
and really got off on it.

1428
01:27:36,329 --> 01:27:38,531
But he's not that handsome.

1429
01:27:38,531 --> 01:27:40,633
Doesn't mean a thing.

1430
01:27:40,633 --> 01:27:42,101
He loves sex.

1431
01:27:42,101 --> 01:27:44,337
That's irresistible.

1432
01:27:44,337 --> 01:27:46,999
So many men don't
really enjoy it.

1433
01:27:56,316 --> 01:27:58,113
I Someone knocks at the door ]

1434
01:28:16,069 --> 01:28:19,004
Please take me in your arms.

1435
01:29:34,547 --> 01:29:39,041
lf only you knew how much
that calm look costs me.

1436
01:29:40,787 --> 01:29:43,790
Evey morning l
wake up in a rage.

1437
01:29:43,790 --> 01:29:45,121
What about?

1438
01:29:47,026 --> 01:29:48,857
Anything,
nothing, everything.

1439
01:29:50,630 --> 01:29:54,066
lt takes two cups of
coffee to hold me together.

1440
01:31:25,191 --> 01:31:28,494
There are painters of
the night like Rembrandt...

1441
01:31:28,494 --> 01:31:31,230
or Georges De La Tour...

1442
01:31:31,230 --> 01:31:33,892
but there are few
who paint the dawn.

1443
01:31:35,201 --> 01:31:38,671
Dawn is the hour of death...

1444
01:31:38,671 --> 01:31:41,265
the hour of seagrey light.

1445
01:31:43,109 --> 01:31:45,745
There is G�ricault...

1446
01:31:45,745 --> 01:31:48,737
and above all Caravaggio.

1447
01:32:26,586 --> 01:32:28,520
l brought you something.

1448
01:32:42,468 --> 01:32:44,402
Hope you like it.

1449
01:33:13,099 --> 01:33:14,396
Rough night?

1450
01:33:15,401 --> 01:33:17,596
The way l like'em.

1451
01:33:35,321 --> 01:33:37,890
There was blood
in my urine again.

1452
01:33:37,890 --> 01:33:39,258
A lot?

1453
01:33:39,258 --> 01:33:41,560
The bowl was full.

1454
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:43,362
lt's been like
that for a week.

1455
01:33:43,362 --> 01:33:45,031
What is it?

1456
01:33:45,031 --> 01:33:47,133
They don't know yet.

1457
01:33:47,133 --> 01:33:49,260
God, you're soaking.

1458
01:33:55,207 --> 01:33:56,475
Come and eat.

1459
01:33:56,475 --> 01:33:58,477
Bacon and eggs
those l can handle.

1460
01:33:58,477 --> 01:34:00,579
You seem chipper.

1461
01:34:00,579 --> 01:34:02,615
County air...

1462
01:34:02,615 --> 01:34:05,083
does me good.

1463
01:34:11,557 --> 01:34:16,195
Dominique, Diane, Claude will
always be alone, abandoned...

1464
01:34:16,195 --> 01:34:19,966
Pierre and Danielle won't
last more than a year.

1465
01:34:19,966 --> 01:34:22,628
We've been together 20 years.

1466
01:34:26,472 --> 01:34:28,574
That's what love is.

1467
01:34:28,574 --> 01:34:32,101
lt lasts, it can overcome
a child's illness, or old age.

1468
01:34:34,814 --> 01:34:38,351
lt's you l want to sleep with...

1469
01:34:38,351 --> 01:34:39,585
the rest of my life.

1470
01:34:39,585 --> 01:34:42,076
l love you so much.

1471
01:34:50,162 --> 01:34:51,857
Shit!

1472
01:34:54,500 --> 01:34:56,602
Need help?

1473
01:34:56,602 --> 01:34:58,070
Yeah, maybe.

1474
01:34:58,070 --> 01:34:59,867
Let me.

1475
01:35:04,310 --> 01:35:06,479
Can l see you again?

1476
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:07,880
Of course.

1477
01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:10,216
Why do you ask?

1478
01:35:10,216 --> 01:35:12,184
l dunno.

1479
01:35:12,184 --> 01:35:15,621
l never know what
you really mean.

1480
01:35:15,621 --> 01:35:18,357
Words are cheap, baby.

1481
01:35:18,357 --> 01:35:20,359
What's that?

1482
01:35:20,359 --> 01:35:22,228
Don't listen to me...

1483
01:35:22,228 --> 01:35:23,996
touch me.

1484
01:35:23,996 --> 01:35:25,930
Touch me, baby.

1485
01:35:33,506 --> 01:35:37,476
...like when Roben Turmel
returned from Venice...

1486
01:35:37,476 --> 01:35:39,111
l know, l was with him.

1487
01:35:39,111 --> 01:35:40,546
Oh yeah.

1488
01:35:40,546 --> 01:35:44,016
So you heard about his
hot affairwith an ltalian.

1489
01:35:44,016 --> 01:35:46,052
Come on, he spent one night...

1490
01:35:46,052 --> 01:35:49,055
with Monica Massaferro,
the Pollaiuolos specialist...

1491
01:35:49,055 --> 01:35:52,324
His wife said it was
more than one night.

1492
01:35:52,324 --> 01:35:54,293
One night, he told me so.

1493
01:35:54,293 --> 01:35:56,796
Anyway, when he got back,

1494
01:35:56,796 --> 01:35:58,230
he told his wife...

1495
01:35:58,230 --> 01:35:59,698
He didn't tell her!

1496
01:35:59,698 --> 01:36:01,634
But l got this from her!

1497
01:36:01,634 --> 01:36:02,935
He should know.

1498
01:36:02,935 --> 01:36:05,233
Dominique can settle this.

1499
01:36:06,906 --> 01:36:10,776
What did Roben tell his wife
when he got back from ltaly?

1500
01:36:10,776 --> 01:36:12,912
All he said was
he had an affair.

1501
01:36:12,912 --> 01:36:16,515
The way l heard it, just
as he was about to confess...

1502
01:36:16,515 --> 01:36:18,984
his wife told him
she had an affair.

1503
01:36:18,984 --> 01:36:20,619
He was shattered.

1504
01:36:20,619 --> 01:36:22,922
His wife never said that!

1505
01:36:22,922 --> 01:36:24,957
No, it's impossible.

1506
01:36:24,957 --> 01:36:28,761
His wife probably
suspected something.

1507
01:36:28,761 --> 01:36:29,862
No she didn't.

1508
01:36:29,862 --> 01:36:31,263
lf she'd suspected...

1509
01:36:31,263 --> 01:36:32,932
You can sense these things.

1510
01:36:32,932 --> 01:36:35,835
No, he sensed her uneasiness.

1511
01:36:35,835 --> 01:36:37,636
l know Roben vey well.

1512
01:36:37,636 --> 01:36:39,338
He wouldn't lie to me.

1513
01:36:39,338 --> 01:36:41,040
One of them is lying.

1514
01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:43,242
l tend to believe his wife.

1515
01:36:43,242 --> 01:36:45,111
Me too, when it comes to that.

1516
01:36:45,111 --> 01:36:47,279
He is vey sensitive.

1517
01:36:47,279 --> 01:36:49,181
You mean touchy.

1518
01:36:49,181 --> 01:36:50,739
You think he's touchy?

1519
01:36:58,591 --> 01:37:00,058
Come help.

1520
01:37:06,932 --> 01:37:08,763
ls that it?

1521
01:37:09,268 --> 01:37:11,437
Do you still give lessons?

1522
01:37:11,437 --> 01:37:13,371
Two afternoons...

1523
01:37:13,472 --> 01:37:15,407
lt's tough with the kids.

1524
01:37:15,407 --> 01:37:17,136
You could get a sitter.

1525
01:37:49,942 --> 01:37:52,069
l swearthat's what happened.

1526
01:37:53,746 --> 01:37:56,715
l guess we'll never
really know for sure.

1527
01:38:36,522 --> 01:38:37,990
You okay?

1528
01:38:37,990 --> 01:38:39,457
Yeah.
