- No problem. Now, just - - Dick.
:39:03
It all makes sense if you just read this passage here.
:39:05
What did you do with the bookmark?
:39:07
I didn't do anything with the bookmark.
:39:09
- There wasn't one in there. - This is when Leopold discovers...
:39:11
that he's just been fucked over by his wife.
:39:13
He says, "If he had smiled, why would he have smiled?
:39:17
"To reflect that each one who enters imagines himself to be the first to
:39:20
enter?
:39:21
"Whereas he is always the last term of a preceding series.
:39:24
"Even if the first term of succeeding ones each imagining himself to be
:39:28
first...
:39:29
"last, only and alone.
:39:31
"Whereas he is neither first, nor last, nor only, nor alone...
:39:35
in a series originating in and repeated to infinity. "
:39:41
Hey, wait up.
:39:47
- Hey, how's it going? - Hi. Okay. Where have you been?
:39:50
- Oh, nowhere. - We've gotta get a move on.
:39:52
- I got you something. - What?
:39:55
- Great. NutraSweet, my favorite. - Come on, I got it for half price.
:39:59
- Budding capitalist youth. - Say, y'all. Y'all got some change.
:40:01
- Yeah. - Nah.
:40:05
- There you go. - Thank you.
:40:07
- You want a soda? - Yeah, I appreciate it.
:40:13
You know, there's something very wrong with that.
:40:15
What, that I gave the guy your Coke? The quarter?
:40:18
Both of them, both of them. It's bad for both of you.
:40:22
Him because it's not really gonna help him.
:40:24
And you because that relationship is naturally going to involve...
:40:27
that condescending element, maybe even contempt.
:40:30
Granted giving the man a quarter isn't gonna change his life around.
:40:33
I do realize that. There are better ways to help.
:40:36
- I've been looking into these groups. - That's what I'm talking about.
:40:39
That's exactly what I'm talking about. See, we're conditioned to assume...
:40:42
that suffering is bad.
:40:44
It's not. See, when you pity someone...
:40:47
all you're able to see is this base creature in them.
:40:49
You can't see any true potential.
:40:51
I think it's their potential I do see.
:40:54
But it's like all these other futile causes that you fall into.
:40:58
They all stem from a certain weakness.
