:24:00
Infuriating.
:24:02
Fascinating.
:24:04
I don't know, everything after
China seems...anticlimactic.
:24:10
Did you get to know
many Chinese?
:24:13
A few.
:24:15
The Chinese weren't
really encouraged...
:24:16
to have Western friends.
:24:17
We were considered...
spiritual pollutants.
:24:21
Spiritual pollutants.
:24:22
I had a Chinese lover
for a while.
:24:25
Oh? Is that allowed?
:24:28
Not really.
:24:30
This is crazy.
:24:32
An escort agency sends me
out on a date...
:24:34
and I end up talking
to Lord Bulbeck about...China.
:24:38
Why don't you call me Sam?
:24:46
Where did you learn to do that?
:24:48
I can't stand helpless men
who can't cook...
:24:51
but you can treat it
as a form of courtship.
:24:54
OK.
:24:57
Tell me about
your Chinese lover.
:24:59
Chinguay?
:25:03
Chinguay was considered
a dissident poet.
:25:06
I used to sneak him
into my dorm room...
:25:09
and put blankets up
over the windows...
:25:11
and we'd stay up all night
arguing about T.S. Eliot.
:25:16
Can I ask you a question?
:25:20
Why does somebody like you...
go to the Jasmine Agency?
:25:26
We men are stuck with
the courtship ritual...
:25:28
and I just don't
have the time for it.
:25:33
I was going to ask you
the same question.
:25:35
I need the money...
:25:37
and I happen to like
uncomplicated sex.
:25:42
A lot of women
need the money, but--
:25:43
A lot of women like
uncomplicated sex. May I?
:25:52
How long have you
been doing this?
:25:54
Oh, about a couple of weeks.
:25:57
You're the first person Ive
been able to talk to, actually.
