Your book is the one thing
that really matters
:06:07
Lidia, why don't you sit down?
:06:11
Smoke if you like
:06:12
I don't feel tired
:06:15
Here's the magazine with
your article on Adorno
:06:18
What's your opinion? Shall I
include it in my book?
:06:22
Yes, it's very good.
Your book will be excellent
:06:28
I'll have to give it more thought
:06:33
I haven't been able to think
these last few days...
:06:37
...yet this is my first free time
in years
:06:41
What an ironical holiday
:06:44
Lidia, you look wonderful
:06:47
- I told Marcella not to come
- Quite right
:06:51
I'd rather not see anyone
:06:54
I'm sick and tired of all the pretending
:06:59
But I was hoping you would come,
of course
:07:05
You know, I see things
in a clearer light now
:07:10
I regret that my presence spoiled
so many evenings...
:07:15
...in your delightful home
:07:17
It's your home, too, you know
:07:23
You appreciate many things
when you're all alone
:07:28
You realize that so much
remains to be done
:07:33
I wonder if I've ever done
anything really useful
:07:38
I lacked the courage to probe deeply
:07:42
Probably I never had enough
intelligence, anyway
:07:47
If that's true, I'd better
pack up writing at once
:07:51
You're joking
:07:54
Occasional self-criticism
helps to raise morale
