Daddy says it's surprising
what people will talk about
to make themselves interesting.

:49:21
- I can't do that.
- Oh, yes, you can.

:49:24
I'll show you.
There. Isn't it wonderful?

:49:28
I think dancing
stimulates conversation.

:49:33
Wasn't it Aristotle who used to walk
and lecture around the Lyceum
and talk of the soul?

:49:39
Though Daddy says he never had
a clear idea of what the soul is.

:49:43
But Daddy has.
He says the soul is desire.

:49:47
And that the whole of life is desire.
:49:50
I think it's a wonderful idea.
:49:52
Well, if you can't shimmy,
we'll just dance ordinary.

:50:00
Do you believe
in the immortality of the soul?

:50:04
- Well...

- You don't believe in love?

:50:13
- Well, l...
- Daddy does.

:50:16
He loves everybody,

- You're in the Diplomatic Service,
aren't you?
- Yes.

:50:24
How boring it must be
to be diplomatic to everyone.

:50:28
- But you're Ambassador
to Arabia, aren't you?
- Yes, l...

:50:31
- Have you been there before?
- Oh, yes.

:50:34
- Do tell me about it. I adore Arabs.
- Well, the Arabs are very inter...

:50:38
Quite a crowd tonight.
You'd never suspect that most
of them have been seasick.

:50:47
Her empty chair is next to mine
in the dining room.

:50:50
I'm so intrigued to see
what she looks like.

:50:57
It's Harvey!
