But that's another issue.
1:12:02
I told you
it's been in my mind for a while now.

1:12:05
- About the fact that we don't--
- It's been on both our minds.

1:12:09
So it wasn't just this evening--
1:12:12
- No, but you brought it up now.
- It just reminded me of it.

1:12:14
We've discussed it before.
It's been on both our minds.

1:12:17
How do we get this back
in a relationship

1:12:19
where one of the parties
can barely breathe?

1:12:21
And I have lots to think about.
I'm dying.

1:12:24
Where is that coming from?
1:12:26
If you still love me,
you'd submit to me.

1:12:33
- What is the matter with you?
- Well...

1:12:36
But I'm saying
I'd like to have that prerogative.

1:12:39
You gave it to me 15 years ago.
1:12:43
So what's the problem now?
1:12:45
'Cause you're not submissive to me now.
1:12:46
I'm not submissive to anybody.
I love you.

1:12:49
But I think I need you
to be submissive to me.

1:12:51
Why?
1:12:53
Psychologically,
I really, really need it.

1:13:10
So, why did you decide
to go into a hospital today?

1:13:36
He was really scared today.
1:13:43
It's really hard to imagine him
actually being dead.

1:13:46
Because his dying is so excruciating.
1:13:52
I almost want to say-
1:13:55
I don't even think
he's a masochist anymore.

1:13:58
I think
life has beaten him down too much.
