- Night, Jack.
- Night, Warnie.
:07:16
Garden, enclosed by a high wall.
:07:19
Inside the garden,
a fountain.
:07:20
In the fountain,
two crystal stones.
:07:24
In the crystals, in reflection,
a rose garden.
:07:28
In the midst of the roses,
one perfect rosebud.
:07:33
Guillaume de Lorris is using
the rosebud, of course...
:07:36
as an image.
:07:38
But an image of what?
:07:40
- Love?
- What kind of love?
:07:42
Untouched?
:07:44
- Unopened, like a bud?
- Yes. More?
:07:48
- Perfect love.
- What makes it perfect?
:07:52
- Come on, wake up.
- Is it the courtly ideal of love?
:07:54
What is that?
What is its one essential quality?
:07:58
- Un...
- Unattainability.
:08:00
The most intense joy
lies not in the having...
:08:03
but in the desiring.
:08:06
Delight that never fades,
bliss that is eternal...
:08:10
is only yours when what
you most desire is just out of reach.
:08:17
- What was that, Mr. Whistler?
- Nothing, Mr. Lewis.
:08:20
If you disagree with me,
say so.
:08:23
Fight me.
I can take it.
:08:25
Even I can't fight
on both sides at once, you know.
:08:29
Or, at least I can,
but I'm liable to win.
:08:36
Why is the beer here
always cold? Cold beer!
:08:41
Chills the stomach.
Has no taste.
:08:43
I have a complaint
about the wardrobe.
:08:45
Complaint?
Our children love it.
:08:47
I will not have another conversation
about Jack's blasted nursery.
:08:51
No. Listen.
:08:53
In the book you describe the house
as belonging to an old professor...
:08:56
who has no wife,
and yet...
