1:00:00
So what's it about?
1:00:03
Well,
1:00:07
it concerns
a young man, Ronnie,
1:00:10
about your age,
I suppose.
1:00:13
He's a deaf-mute...
1:00:15
brought up in
complete isolation.
1:00:17
His only human contact
is through the television.
1:00:21
So he has been subjected
to rather excessive...
1:00:25
and unrealistic
types of behavior.
1:00:29
He never speaks?
Oh, he cannot speak.
1:00:32
Wow.
1:00:34
Oh, yes, I'm determined
that the audience share
his subjective state...
1:00:37
rather than merely
pity him because, well,
that would be awful.
1:00:41
Yeah, yeah.
1:00:44
So what happens?
1:00:46
Understandably enough,
he yearns to enter
the real world.
1:00:51
So he surrenders himself
to the most irrational desire...
1:00:57
known to mankind.
1:00:59
Maybe you can
guess what that is?
1:01:02
[ Steam Hissing In Kitchen ]
1:01:06
It is the desire
to fall in love, Ronnie.
1:01:13
And since he's been exposed
to such a thing on
the television every day,
1:01:17
it becomes his quest,
so to speak.
1:01:20
And every tale, whether
it be Richard The Third...
1:01:24
or Hotpants College The Third,
centers upon a quest.
1:01:30
And as in my other work,
it will inevitably end
with a sacrifice.
1:01:35
The French, in particular,
seem to like such a thing.
1:01:39
However, I suspect it is
not one for the drive-ins.
1:01:45
Oh, thank you, my dear.
1:01:48
Decaf au lait,
no doubt?
Uh-huh.
1:01:50
Thanks, babe.
1:01:52
It's brilliant, man.
1:01:55
Oh, I don't think so,
not yet. Please.
1:01:58
No, it is.
