:47:00
that in the face of death,
life loses real meaning.
:47:03
- It is?
- Well, I can't argue it succinctly,
:47:07
but if you've read Socrates or Buddha,
Schopenhauer, even Ecclestiastes,
:47:11
they're very convincing.
:47:13
Well, they should know.
I don't read that much.
:47:17
What struck me was the way the
terrorists only killed if they had to.
:47:21
Never wantonly, just if they
had to, to achieve their aims.
:47:24
I was very moved when that Algerian boy
said he killed in the name of freedom.
:47:28
- It gave me chills.
- It's killing for an abstraction.
:47:32
Why? You value the life of a single person
over the lives of thousands of others?
:47:36
I don't know. I mean, who are those
thousands? It's another abstraction.
:47:40
To me, the conflict over
the giving of the information
:47:43
between the French doctor and the
Algerian was the best part of the play.
:47:47
I know. The writer argued both sides so
brilliantly you didn't know who was right.
:47:52
I didn't get that. I mean,
to me, it wasn't such a big deal.
:47:57
One guy was a squealer.
I liked the guy that wasn't.
:48:00
It's a little more complex
than that, don't you think?
:48:03
Why? You liked the squealer?
Did I miss something?
:48:06
That's what made me
anxious about the play. I mean,
:48:09
how do you figure out
the right thing to do?
:48:11
How do you know?
:48:13
How do you know? I don't know.
You just know, you feel it. I mean...
:48:18
You just don't squeal. I don't know.
:48:22
Anyway, it was a good evening
in the theatre for a change.
:48:25
I'd love another piece of cheesecake but...
:48:27
Well, have it. What are
you worried about?
:48:31
You'll live to be 100 if you give up
all the things that make you want to.
:48:42
Am I the only one or is it hot in here?
:48:45
Can we open a window?
:48:47
OK. Ready?
:48:49
- Uh-huh.
- OK. Pick a card.
:48:53
- Any one.
- There you go.
:48:54
OK. Put it back. Any place, any place.
:48:57
All right. OK. Watch.
:48:59
- I'm ready.
- All right.
