:32:02
I haven't been fair to Carl.
:32:04
I have to tell you that.
:32:08
What? I can't hear you.
:32:12
I'm sorry everything's
been so confusing.

:32:15
I'll see you later
this evening.

:32:24
But you see, man is born
into the world...

:32:27
with his existent adversary
from the first.

:32:29
It is his historic,
mythic inheritance.

:32:32
So, is this startling?
:32:34
Aggression is prehistoric. An organism
behaves according to its nature...

:32:37
and its nature derives from
the circumstances of its inheritance.

:32:41
The fact remains that primitive man took
delight in tearing his adversary apart.

:32:45
And there is where, I think,
the core of the problem resides.

:32:49
Doesn't that seem
unnecessarily apocalyptic?

:32:51
I do not make poetry.
:32:54
Is there a TV in the house?
:32:59
I remarked to John...
:33:00
that rationality is not a device
to alter facts.

:33:04
But moreover, I think of it
as an extraneous tool, a gadget...

:33:07
somewhat like the television.
:33:10
To look at it any other way
is ridiculous.

:33:13
There's some good things
on it, though.

:33:17
- I beg your pardon.
- The TV.

:33:19
There's some good things on it
sometimes.

:33:21
I have strong doubts. Nevertheless,
I am not discussing media.

:33:25
And there is always hope
for the few.

:33:28
- What about love?
- What about it?

:33:31
Wouldn't you say that more ill
has been done in the name of love...

:33:34
than in the name of abomination?
:33:36
No, I wouldn't.
:33:38
Well, you are a romantic,
Catherine...

:33:42
and once more,
about to be married.

:33:44
So you can be excused from
objective discussions. But ask Carl.

:33:48
Ask him if even the institution
of marriage is completely free from it.

:33:53
Ask him.
:33:54
I think these cold, objective
discussions are aggressive.
