:05:03
Because you look so much
like my father.
:05:06
When he was younger,
of course, your age.
:05:09
A most remarkable resemblance.
:05:12
For a moment I thought...
:05:15
Do forgive me.
:05:17
To tell you the truth,
I was doing quite a bit of staring myself.
:05:20
And I assure you it's not because
you look like my mother.
:05:25
In fact, I can't say you look like
anyone I've ever met before.
:05:28
Then why did you stare?
:05:30
- Do you want to know?
- If it's not too unflattering.
:05:32
Now, you know perfectly well
that nothing I could say about you...
:05:35
The way you look, I mean,
could be anything but flattering.
:05:38
- Of course, if you don't like flattery...
- But I do.
:05:41
On second thought,
it won't be flattery.
:05:43
It'll be the truth
and nothing but the truth.
:05:45
Any resemblance to flattery
will be sheer coincidence.
:05:49
- Shall I proceed?
- Proceed.
:05:51
While I was watching you, exotic words
drifted across the mirror of my mind...
:05:56
...as summer clouds
drift across the sky.
:05:59
Mmm.
:06:00
- Couldn't you be a bit more specific?
- I'll try.
:06:03
Watching you, I thought of tales
in the Arabian Nights...
:06:06
...of myrrh and frankincense and...
:06:09
- And patchouli?
- Patchouli, that's it.
:06:12
Wait a minute.
:06:19
I knew it. Here it is. I quote:
:06:22
"As he watched her, exotic words
drifted across the mirror of his mind.
:06:26
He thought of tales
in the Arabian Nights...
:06:28
...of myrrh and frankincense
and patchouli. " Unquote.
:06:33
- So that's where it came from.
- Oh, I guess so. But really, I wasn't...
:06:37
I give you my word,
it's weeks since I read it.
:06:39
- It must've impressed you enormously.
- The book? Not particularly.
:06:43
- Rather a sloppy job, I thought.
- I agree with you.
:06:46
You do?
:06:48
Next stop, Jacinto.
:06:51
Next stop, Jacinto.
:06:54
Oh, that's me.
