:06:04
Yes, of course there's something fishy...
:06:05
... about describing people's feelings.
:06:07
Try hard to beaccurate, but...
:06:09
... as soon as you start to define
such and such a feeling...
:06:11
... language let's you down.
:06:13
When we really speak the truth,
words are insufficient.
:06:15
Almost everything,
except things like "pass the gravy" ...
:06:20
... is a lie of a sort.
And that being the case, I shall shut up.
:06:26
And pass the gravy.
:06:33
But love, or at least unsatisfied love...
:06:34
... is concerned as much with understanding.
:06:36
And real love, extreme love...
:06:39
... once it's recognised
has stamp of the indubitable...
:06:41
Ah, John, may I call you, John, may I?
:06:42
Meet Miss Murdoch.
:06:44
Iris, my dear, John Bayley.
:06:45
One of the more promising young lecturers
in the English School.
:06:47
Though I caught him out over
Old English grammar, his weaker side I fear.
:06:52
A minor question of Anglo-Saxon syntax.
:06:58
Wine!
:07:00
I mean...
:07:02
... It went down the wrong way.
:07:04
Yes, I like that.
:07:07
There is a right way down, of course.
:07:09
Amazing how most of us find it
without even thinking about it.
:07:12
I rarely think...
:07:14
If you think about it, you'll never find it.
:07:16
Best thing to do
is hang on and trust the body. I do.
:07:19
Human beings love each other.
:07:22
In sex, in friendship...
:07:24
... and when they're in love.
:07:28
And they cherish other beings.
:07:30
Humans, animals, plants - even stones.
:07:36
The quest for happiness
and the promotion of happiness--
:07:40
--is in all of this
and the power of our imagination.
:07:45
I'm writing a novel.
:07:48
I don't suppose you have the time
or the inclination to even read a novel.
:07:52
I've written one. It's going to be published.
:07:54
And I'm writing another.
:07:56
Can I read it?
:07:59
No-one has read It -- None of my friends.
