:07:00
It's like an enormous restaurant.
:07:02
Yes, but if God created it,
it has to be beautiful,
:07:05
even if His plan's not apparent
to us at the moment.
:07:08
Sonja, what if there is no God?
:07:10
Boris Dimitrovitch, are you joking?
:07:13
What if we're just
a bunch of absurd people
:07:15
who are running around
with no rhyme or reason?
:07:18
But if there is no God,
then life has no meaning.
:07:21
Why go on living?
Why not just commit suicide?
:07:24
Well, let's not get hysterical.
I could be wrong.
:07:27
I'd hate to blow my brains out,
then see they found something.
:07:30
Boris. Let me show you
how absurd your position is.
:07:33
Let's say there is no God, and each man
is free to do exactly as he chooses.
:07:38
What prevents you
from murdering somebody?
:07:41
- Murder's immoral.
- Immorality is subjective.
:07:44
Yes, but subjectivity is objective.
:07:47
Not in a rational scheme of perception.
:07:49
Perception is irrational.
It implies imminence.
:07:51
But judgment of any system
of phenomena exists
:07:55
in any rational, metaphysical or
epistemological contradiction
:07:59
to an abstracted empirical concept
such as being, or to be, or to occur
:08:04
in the thing itself, or of the thing itself.
:08:06
Yeah, I've said that many times.
:08:08
Boris, we must believe in God.
:08:12
If I could just see a miracle,
just one miracle.
:08:16
If I could see a burning bush,
or the seas part, or...
:08:21
Or my Uncle Sasha pick up a check.
:08:25
We should go back downstairs.
:08:28
By now
the last golden streaks of the sunset
:08:31
are vanishing behind the western hills.
:08:34
Soon the dark blanket of night
shall settle over us all.
:08:38
Hey, you've been going
to finishing school.
:08:42
Hey, are you dating any Russians
I should know about?
:08:48
Well, Minskov has proposed.
:08:50
And he's very sweet and wealthy.
:08:52
But the age difference is too great.
I'm 28 and he's 81 .
:08:55
- Oh, that is big.
- When I'm 50, he'll be 103.
:08:59
That's a bad age for a man. They slow up.
