:31:04
Well?
:31:05
Upon reflection,
though I haven't had much time...
:31:09
...I think I wasn't thinking of anything.
:31:12
I mean...
:31:14
...not of any of the things which guide
people's conduct with each other:
:31:18
Attraction, repulsion, love, hate...
:31:21
...domination, submission....
:31:24
I wasn't thinking of you, nor Mathieu,
nor of myself.
:31:28
You're saying you acted automatically?
:31:30
Not exactly. I acted logically.
:31:34
Following the logic of numbers,
the number three.
:31:37
Things always come in threes.
:31:39
Yes, it's a game.
:31:41
Also, there's the tradition
of the number three:
:31:43
The triangle, the syllogism...
:31:46
...the Holy Trinity,
Hegel's dialectic, et cetera....
:31:49
All the things that define a closed world...
:31:52
...that set up permanence
and are perhaps keys to the mystery.
:31:58
But I didn't feel pulled by an outside force.
:32:01
It was by free will.
:32:03
Logically, it was the only honest response.
:32:07
I could've said no,
but I'd have felt I was cheating.
:32:10
It'd be "no fair" as I used to say
when I was little.
:32:13
That's sort of my reason, too.
:32:16
Sort of?
:32:18
It's not the only reason.
:32:21
There is one person whom I did it for...
:32:24
...or rather, did it against.
They determined my choice.
:32:28
Do you know who it is?
:32:30
Neither you nor l.
:32:31
You said it wasn't your boyfriend.
:32:35
-Eve?
-No! It's Natacha.
:32:37
We were speaking of her,
and I was a bit angry with her today.
:32:41
I hope she'll forgive me.
:32:43
But it wasn't done to spite her.
:32:45
She wanted to push you into my arms.
:32:47
-She told you?
-No, but I know her.
:32:50
She would, if only to spite Eve.
:32:54
What I wanted, by going along with it...
:32:56
...was to show how silly it was
and sabotage your little plot.
