:06:01
I prefer the Japanese style:
:06:03
Paper screens, rice bowls,
:06:06
Zen minimalism.
:06:07
It would have killed Mother
to see this go.
:06:10
Still, it's fifteen years
since she passed on
:06:13
and it's still the same.
:06:15
I mustn't like change either.
:06:21
It's not bad.
:06:23
You're not saying you like it?
:06:26
- I do.
- Why?
:06:28
Dunno. It's full of the past.
:06:30
And boredom.
:06:32
Talking of boredom,
:06:34
allow me to introduce...
:06:37
my first love.
:06:40
One is marked for life
by onanistic practices
:06:43
in front of a girl
painted two centuries earlier.
:06:46
More vividly,
:06:47
as my pupils put it
back when I taught French,
:06:50
I owe this young lady
a few frenzied
:06:55
and diligent wanks.
:06:59
Do you fancy a drink?
:07:03
I'm sorry, I forgot.
:07:05
You're not much of a talker.
:07:07
I tend not to ask questions.
:07:12
I always wanted to be
a silent onlooker.
:07:16
Meaning?
:07:17
I walk into a bar.
:07:19
I don't say a word
:07:21
but everything changes suddenly.
:07:23
The women mostly.
They check their reflections.
:07:26
And yet I do nothing.
:07:28
Just by being there,
:07:30
I've sown confusion in their minds.
:07:33
You watch too many thrillers.
:07:35
You're right about that.
:07:46
Thanks for everything.
:07:48
Just a glass of water.
:07:50
How's your headache?
:07:53
I'll be all right.
