Then he phoned back and said,
"I could count the number of laps. "
1:41:07
And he said, "How much does each lap
take up in terms of water?"
1:41:11
I said, "I don't think
there's any information. "
1:41:14
He said, "I'll try and find out. "
1:41:16
He'd go off and try and find out. . .
1:41:19
. . .then he'd work it out
and have a figure.
1:41:22
He was compulsive in that way.
1:41:24
He was a kind of
ultimate Jewish mother.
1:41:26
If an animal was ill
or if one of us were ill. . .
1:41:31
. . .Stanley was like Superman.
1:41:33
I was very ill myself
for quite a while. . .
1:41:36
. . .and he was so sweet. . .
1:41:39
. . .so kind, so Ioyal.
1:41:41
Everything you want somebody to be,
he was.
1:41:45
He was really, really kind.
1:41:50
However, when you weren't ill. . .
1:41:53
. . .that's when you bought it.
1:41:55
He very seldom praised you,
because he had this obsession. . .
1:41:59
. . .that if he praised you. . .
1:42:01
. . .you would fall to pieces
and not do the job right.
1:42:04
He knew how far he could push you.
That was the other clever thing.
1:42:08
Occasionally he pushed too far
then was confused why you were angry.
1:42:12
Philosophically,
he was just no-nonsense. . .
1:42:16
. . .honest, had his view. . .
1:42:20
. . .very cool view of humanity.
1:42:22
He was a warm guy at home,
I'm sure everybody says that.
1:42:26
Crazy about animals. . .
1:42:28
. . .but could be. . .
1:42:31
. . .brutal with people he worked with.
1:42:34
He wasn't all that way.
1:42:36
Sometimes he could be
generous as well.
1:42:40
But he felt everybody was an opponent.
1:42:43
No matter what, he wasn't sure
they weren't...
1:42:47
Didn't have an agenda of their own.
1:42:50
And he wasn't gonna have that
on his pictures.
1:42:53
I'm asking the fucking questions,
understand?
1:42:57
Thank you!
Can I be in charge for a while?
