:46:00
Well, maybe to make sure
that it's actually happening?

:46:04
I'll buy that.
Make sure we're not hallucinating.

:46:07
And maybe to fiile it away, in case
it's a long time before the next one.

:46:10
Two excellent answers. Perhaps you'd
elaborate on the fiiling it away part?

:46:14
File it away for what?
:46:17
- Oh. I don't know.
- Come on, Nick.

:46:20
We're fiinally treading on
some familiar territory here.

:46:23
Mom's in the kitchen
making Jell-O with fruit.

:46:26
- You lock yourself in the bathroom--
- Don't sweat it, Nick.

:46:28
I grew up with three brothers.
:46:30
The closets were pornography museums.
More visuals.

:46:34
You're right about the visual thing.
:46:36
It always drives me nuts
when I hear a guy...

:46:38
going on about something a girl does
that's supposed to be so sexy.

:46:41
- Like what kind of thing?
- Like how she flips her hair.

:46:45
How she stands with one foot
to the side. It could be anything.

:46:47
- What's wrong with that?
- Because that's nothing.

:46:49
That's just something she does.
:46:51
And she probably only does it
because she saw it in a movie.

:46:55
It's not their real stuff.
:46:57
All that stuff-- the hair flips,
the mannerisms, the catch phrases.

:47:00
They add up to the personality.
So they are what's real.

:47:04
Yeah, but it's all the outside stuff.
That's fiine in the beginning.

:47:07
You need the outside stuff.
:47:09
You need, like,
the reasons to be in love.

:47:11
But you can get past that
to the part...

:47:13
where the little tricks
don't mean anything.

:47:15
I say you are attracted to
what is in front of you. End of story.

:47:18
How romantic.
:47:21
It takes years and years together.
:47:23
- Yeah?
- I can't describe it exactly...

:47:25
but it's like there's nothing
she can do.

:47:27
All her usual ways of hooking you in
have no effect...

:47:30
and yet you're still in love.
:47:32
It's like the act is over...
:47:34
and you get to the part
she's been hiding.

:47:36
And she's been hiding it
because she thinks that's the part...

:47:40
that's gonna blow it
or make you leave or get bored...

:47:44
but you get to that part,
and you're still there.

:47:48
And you're even more in love.
:47:55
Wow.
:47:57
Have you met my nephew?
His name is Jesus.
