:50:00
It was you, wasn't it?
:50:03
Why lie about it? Are you afraid i might
think you weak for reading poetry?
:50:07
Perhaps. As Fontaine says
somewhere in there,
:50:12
"Each man is three men: what he
thinks he is, what others think he is
:50:17
"and what he really is."
:50:20
And which Leiningen is this?
:50:22
The last.
:50:24
The real Leiningen... uncertain, complex,
:50:30
a little pompous,
even laughable sometimes.
:50:35
I haven't ever laughed at you.
:50:37
I know, and i've appreciated it
in my fashion.
:50:43
(RHYTHMIC DR UMMING)
:50:46
I've written a letter.
:50:50
To my brother in New Orleans.
:50:53
When you get there, give it to him. He'll
make all the necessary arrangements.
:50:58
I'm leaving right away, apparently.
:51:01
Tomorrow. The commissioner
and i are going upcountry.
:51:04
You'll go with us
and then across to the big river.
:51:08
You can catch a boat there
in a few days,
:51:10
instead of waiting until next month.
:51:19
I hadn't realised that you were in
such a hurry to see the last of me.
:51:24
It's not that. The hurry, i mean.
:51:27
It's not wanting to get rid of you. It's just
I don't like what's happening to me.
:51:35
I think you're sorry about tonight.
:51:39
I tried to embarrass you.
I'm not like that usually.
:51:43
I don't like to hurt things.
:51:49
I... was hurt.
:51:52
But i'm over it now.
:51:56
When you get back home, you'll realise
it was better to end it before it began.
