:54:10
The titled aristocracy
are the scum of the Earth.

:54:13
What really makes me furious
is that you have a whole class of people-

:54:16
mostly Europeans-
all looking down at me.

:54:19
You always say ''titled aristocrats.''
What about untitled aristocrats?

:54:23
I couldn't very well despise them,
could I?

:54:25
That would be self-hatred,
which is unhealthy.

:54:28
You're so conceited.
:54:30
Well, saying that the titled aristocracy
are the scum of the Earth...

:54:33
is -well, is obviously
an exaggeration.

:54:36
But - But it's true that the forces
that oblige members of the U.H.B....

:54:40
to at least appear to act
productively and responsibly...

:54:44
carries little weight,
or none at all...

:54:46
with members of society whose social positions
are secure no matter what they do.

:54:55
So you had a trust fund?
The pieces are beginning to fall into place.

:54:59
I don't have one anymore.
:55:01
Well, that's less important.
:55:03
I mean, so-so - sociologically,
I mean, what's important is...

:55:07
having grown up with the assumption
of material security.

:55:10
It - It explains a lot.
:55:13
I call.
:55:16
I had no cards.
Why did you call?

:55:18
I felt like it.
:55:21
Playing strip poker with an exhibitionist
somehow takes the challenge away.

:55:29
His name is Frank Goodrich.
He handles some financial things for my father.

:55:34
Actually, it's a tremendous relief,
not having that hanging over my head anymore.

:55:37
Really?
:55:39
There was a big load of guilt that went with it,
even though it wasn't that much money...

:55:42
and I never really counted
on having it.

:55:45
You're a tragic case. You've just been robbed,
and it's a great relief to you.

:55:49
In part, regarding the money.
:55:51
Regarding my relationship with my father,
of course I'm concerned.

:55:54
He moves to another state
without telling me...

:55:56
he doesn't write or call me
for over a month...

:55:58
and basically has me disinherited.
