:30:02
There's no need to discuss it, Mark.
:30:05
All right, I won't bring it up again.
:30:08
You're brown. You've been in the sun.
:30:10
Yes, I've been playing a lot of tennis.
:30:14
What am I going to do
if you go back to China?
:30:17
Play more tennis.
:30:19
You're not really going back
to Chungking, are you?
:30:22
It wouldn't be good for you
to see too much of me anyhow.
:30:25
Might even be harmful.
:30:26
- Oh? Why?
- I'm Eurasian.
:30:30
The word itself seems to suggest a certain
moral laxity in the minds of some people.
:30:35
People never think of what words mean.
They feel them.
:30:38
- You're talking about stupid people.
- Make no mistake, I'm proud to be Eurasian.
:30:43
I like to think we combine
the best qualities of both races,
:30:47
that we are the answer to race snobbery.
:30:51
Well, you're certainly the answer
to a lot of things for me.
:30:56
Mark, like everyone else in Hong Kong,
you're at loose ends.
:31:01
I think you probably need a love affair,
but I'm not the answer.
:31:06
I will make no mistakes
in the name of loneliness.
:31:09
I have my work and an uncomplicated life.
:31:13
I don't want to feel anything again, ever.
:31:15
A moment ago you said
that words had no meanings.
:31:18
That people have to feel.
:31:21
Les not tax the day with self-analysis.
:31:24
The friends I was going to see
have a house across the bay.
:31:28
- Shall we swim over and drop in on them?
- Why not?
