I saw you at the courthouse,
that's how I know.
:21:01
I'm Matthew Osceola.
:21:04
Susan Orlean. Nice to meet you.
:21:06
Maybe I could talk to you
for a second.
:21:08
I'm just trying to get a feel
for the whole operation...
:21:11
You have very beautiful hair.
:21:18
Thank you very much.
:21:20
Thank you. I just...
:21:22
I just washed it this morning.
:21:27
I just used a new conditioner.
:21:33
I can see your sadness.
:21:36
It's lovely.
:21:40
Well, I'm just tired, that's all.
That's my problem.
:21:44
So maybe we could chat a little bit...
:21:47
...and I could get some background...
- I'm not going to talk to you much.
:21:51
It's not personal.
:21:54
It's the Indian way.
:22:07
Angraecum sesquipedale.
:22:10
Beauty! God!
:22:13
Darwin wrote about this one.
:22:15
Charles Darwin? Evolution guy?
Hello?
:22:20
You see that nectary
all the way down there?
:22:22
Darwin hypothesized a moth...
:22:24
...with a nose 12 inches long
to pollinate it.
:22:28
Everyone thought he was a loon.
:22:30
Then, sure enough, they found
this moth with a 12-inch proboscis.
:22:34
- "Proboscis" means nose, by the way.
- I know what "proboscis" means.
:22:37
Hey, let's not get off the subject.
This isn't a pissing contest.
:22:41
The point is,
what's so wonderful...
:22:44
...is that every one of these flowers
has a specific relationship...
:22:47
...with the insect that pollinates it.
:22:49
There's a certain orchid
looks exactly like a certain insect.
:22:52
So the insect is drawn to this flower...
:22:55
...its double, its soul mate...
:22:58
...and wants nothing more
than to make love to it.
