He´s grumpy. He´s broke. He hangs out
with the musical moron twins...
:55:06
and yet he gets to go to bed
with somebody like Marie De Salle.
:55:10
Hey. Marie.
:55:14
- Everything go all right?
- Yeah, yeah.
:55:16
Shejust wanted to pick up some stuff,
you know. lt was no big deal.
lt wasjust...
:55:20
I hate that time,
picking-up-stuff time.
:55:23
- You know that song I play,
"Eartha Kitt Times Two"?
- Ofcourse!
:55:27
I wrote that about me and my ex
dividing our record collection.
:55:30
It´s a great, great song.
:55:33
- A while back,
Dick, Barry and I agreed....
- I wrote thatjust before I moved here.
:55:35
that what really matters
is what you like...
:55:38
not what you are like.
:55:41
Books, records, fi lms...
These things matter.
:55:43
Call me shallow.
lt´s the fuckin´ truth.
:55:46
And by this measure, I was having
one ofthe best dates of my life.
:55:49
- You love that show?
- Yes!
:55:52
Starring, um... Starring, um...
Who starred in The Prisoner?
:55:54
- McGoohan.
- Patrick McGoohan.
- That´s right!
:55:56
And then we talk about our exes.
:56:00
She´s dry and self-deprecating.
:56:04
Great sense of humour about it,
and I can really see why
her songs are so good.
:56:07
- I guess she´s happy with him.
- I don´t speak about Laura
with as much depth.
:56:11
But it feels, even to me,
like I'm being intimate.
:56:14
I express regret.
l say nice things about her...
:56:17
and I hint at a deep ocean of melancholy
just below the surface...
:56:23
which is all bullshit really.
:56:25
I'vejust invented a sketch
ofa decent, sensitive guy...
:56:29
because I'm in the position
to invent him.
:56:31
And I guess all that charming,
nervous stuff seems to work somehow...
:56:35
because we get
back to her house and...
:56:39
Throwmysuitcase out there too
:56:41
itjust happens.
:56:46
- Throwmy covers out the door
- And then we make love. lt´s great.
:56:50
- ldon´t needthem any more
- And that´s it. I'm not gonna go
into all that other stuff.
:56:53
You know, the
who-did-what-to-whom stuff.
:56:55
You know that song
"Behind Closed Doors" by Charlie Rich?
:56:58
It´s one of my favourite songs.
