:06:00
start to define such and such a
feeling, language lets you down.
:06:03
It's really a machine
for making falsehoods.
:06:05
When we really speak the truth,
words are insufficient.
:06:07
Almost everything except
things like "pass the gravy"
:06:10
is a lie of a sort.
:06:11
And that being the case,
I shall shut up.
:06:16
Oh, and... pass the gravy.
:06:22
But love,
which is unsatisfying...
:06:25
and real love... extreme
love... once it's recognised...
:06:28
has the stamp
of the indubitable...
:06:30
Ah, John. I may call
you John, mayn't I?
Meet Miss Murdoch.
:06:33
Iris, my dear, John Bayley,
one of the more promising
:06:35
young lecturers
in the English school.
:06:38
Though I called him out
over Old-English grammar,
:06:40
his weaker side, I fear,
:06:42
a minor question of
Anglo-Saxon syntax.
:06:45
Wine.
:06:49
I mean, went down
the wrong way.
:06:53
Yes, I like that.
:06:55
There is a right way down,
of course.
:06:57
Amazing how most of us find it
without even thinking about it.
:07:00
Oh, I-I r-rarely think.
:07:01
If you think about it,
you'll never find it.
:07:03
Best thing to do is hang on
and trust the body.
:07:06
I do.
:07:07
Human beings
love each other...
:07:09
in sex, in friendship,
and when they're in love.
:07:15
And they cherish
other beings...
:07:19
humans, animals, plants,
even stones.
:07:23
The quest for happiness
and the promotion of happiness
:07:27
is in all of this
:07:29
and the power
of our imagination.
:07:32
I'm writing a n-novel.
:07:33
I don't suppose you have
the time or the inclination
:07:36
to even r-r-read
a n-novel.
:07:38
I've written one.
It's going to be published.
:07:41
And I'm writing another.
:07:42
Oh. C-C-Can I...
can I read it?
:07:45
No one has read it.
None of my friends.
:07:48
What's it about?
:07:51
About?
:07:52
It has something
for everyone.
:07:55
A b-bit like Shakespeare?
:07:56
Perhaps, yes.
:07:58
Please don't talk
to anyone about it.
