Peter says I may have
a shot at the English prize...

:46:02
if I read Beowulf properly.
:46:03
That is, taking into account
the times...

:46:05
instead of reading it
with a contemporary slant.

:46:08
You can't discount history,
Oscar.

:46:12
No, you can't.
:46:14
You can't discount it at all.
:46:18
The sales representative--
:46:19
this twenty-five-year-old kid
who's talking to me...

:46:22
about book jackets
for four hours.

:46:24
I went cross-eyed.
:46:26
How many pages
you got there. Stanley?

:46:28
Well. I have about 715...
:46:30
How are you?
:46:31
I'm good.
:46:33
No. How are you?
:46:37
I'm good, Oscar.
:46:40
It's good to see you.
:46:41
You, too.
:46:43
Are you sure you don't have
a girlfriend at Chauncey?

:46:46
I would think
they'd be lining up.

:46:49
Eve...I've been thinking
about maybe going premed.

:46:55
Maybe Columbia.
:46:57
I'd be in the city,
we could meet...

:47:02
to go over my homework--
I mean, if you'd be willing.

:47:05
Well, I'd love to, Oscar,
but you love literature.

:47:10
You're fluent in French.
You should be a scholar.

:47:13
A lot of medicine's
in Latin, right?

:47:14
So, I figure, French, Latin...
:47:16
I'm not doing so badly
in biology.

:47:19
I mean,
I know what an isotope is.

:47:21
But if you went premed...
:47:22
you couldn't get caught up in
the poetry of the pericardium.

:47:26
I would get caught up
in the poetry...

:47:28
of the thing itself,
like you do.

:47:30
Don't quote me back to myself.
:47:32
Is the world really waiting
for another academic?

:47:35
...a new subject.
Something I am passionate...

:47:38
Diane?
:47:40
Diane. would you
pass the bread. please?

:47:41
Ahem.
:47:49
Thank you.
:47:51
Are you coming down
with something?

:47:52
I'm fine.
:47:53
Are we still playing tennis
tomorrow?

:47:55
Oh, is that tomorrow, tennis?
:47:57
Don't you think
you've had enough?

:47:59
...Iook at some
first editions he just bought.
