1:23:03
- I'm a decent, moral human being.
- What are you doin' with
Helen Sinclair then?
1:23:07
- What has that got to do
with it? How did you know?
- Everybody in town knows.
1:23:10
Except maybe your girlfriend.
Who you think you're foolin'?
1:23:13
I might not be perfect, but you're
a killer! You're a degenerate animal!
1:23:16
You're a murderer! You b--
You belong in the electric chair!
1:23:20
Listen to me, you.
You listen to me.
1:23:22
Nobody, nobody is gonna
ruin my work, you hear me?
1:23:26
Nobody, huh?
1:23:38
I've fallen in love
with Helen Sinclair...
1:23:41
and I lied to you about it
the other day, which I'm sure
that you probably knew.
1:23:45
I want to let you know I didn't mean
for this to happen. It just happened.
1:23:48
I'm not surprised.
She is extraordinary.
1:23:50
- So are you. It's me
that's all screwed up.
- I have a confession to make.
1:23:54
You knew the whole time,
but you were too damn decent
to confront me while I was--
1:23:58
No, I've been seeing
Sheldon Flender.
1:24:01
- Pa-Pa-Pardon me?
- We've been having an affair.
1:24:04
- Did you say Sheldon Flender?
- Yes, he's been in love
with me for a long time.
1:24:07
Do you know his theory that art
is relational, that it requires two--
1:24:11
the artist
and the audience?
1:24:13
- He feels that way about sex too.
- About-- About sex?
1:24:15
Yes, between the two right people,
it can become an art form.
1:24:18
Are you saying that you and
Flender have raised intercourse
to the level of an art form?
1:24:22
Not just intercourse.
Foreplay too.
1:24:24
- My friend, the unproduced playwright?
- He's been after me a long time.
1:24:27
You never seem to want to get married,
and so, one night we went out,
had a few drinks...
1:24:31
and started discussing art
and literature and Freud and Nietzsche.
1:24:35
And in order to illustrate
a point on Greek etymology...
1:24:37
I noticed he'd
unbuttoned his fly--
1:24:39
No, no, no, no! Please, please!
I don't need to hear any more.
1:24:43
But he's a major talent. You've
said so yourself a million times.
1:24:46
With an intellect that big, you tend
to create your own moral universe.
