1:05:00
I was wondering...
1:05:02
- What were you going to say?
- No, you go ahead.

1:05:05
I was wondering
where you've been staying this past week.

1:05:09
Yeah? That's what I was going to ask you.
1:05:11
- Are you still at Barney's place?
- No, I've relocated temporarily.

1:05:16
Same here.
I'm staying with my friend Eleanor.

1:05:19
She's got this place down on 14th Street.
1:05:23
She seems agreeable.
1:05:27
Yeah.
1:05:28
Doris, I have something to say to you
and it concerns both of us.

1:05:33
If it's not...
1:05:36
Who was that?
1:05:37
You got me.
1:05:38
- She said "hello" to you.
- No, she didn't. She said, "woo-woo".

1:05:42
Are total strangers in the habit
of saying "woo-woo" to you?

1:05:45
- Not until tonight.
- Now look, Doris.

1:05:47
- You really look lousy. You know?
- I do?

1:05:51
Yeah, like you haven't been sleeping.
1:05:52
- Actually, I haven't been sleeping too well.
- Have you tried hot baths?

1:05:56
Yes, I have.
I find hot baths too enervating.

1:05:59
"Enervating"?
1:06:03
I made you laugh. That's one for me.
1:06:05
Doris, I want you to try and understand
what I'm going to say.

1:06:08
- I have struggled 31 years to establish...
- Is that how old you are, 31?

1:06:12
Yes. I have tried to establish...
1:06:15
...the supremacy of the intellect
over the physical side of life.

1:06:19
You're telling me that you ran all the way
to Riker's just to tell me that?

1:06:23
- I didn't run all the way. I jogged.
- You could have sent me a letter.

1:06:27
- I didn't know your address.
- You could have given it to Eleanor.

1:06:31
I wanted to see you again.
1:06:36
- I wanted to apologize for the other night.
- No, that was all my fault.

1:06:39
I shouldn't have been so mad.
I got this terrible temper.

1:06:42
You were perfectly justified.
I had no right in asking certain questions...

1:06:46
Sure you did. You're a writer, aren't you?
I mean writers gotta find out stuff.

1:06:50
And if you don't ask questions
how are you going to assimilate?

1:06:56
What?
1:06:59
I said, "If you don't ask questions
how are you going to assimilate?"
