:22:01
to be around, they love food, wine.
They're great cooks...

:22:04
But, I don't know, maybe
I've had really bad luck with them.

:22:06
Why? What do you mean?
:22:08
Uhm, well...
:22:10
- I guess they're not as ...
- What?

:22:12
What's the word?
:22:14
Uhm...
:22:15
Horny?
:22:16
- They're not as horny...
- Horny?

:22:18
All right, well, listen
to me on this one:

:22:20
In that regard,
I'm proud to be an American.

:22:22
And you should be,
in that regard only.

:22:24
Merci.
:22:26
Have you ever spent some time
in Eastern Europe?

:22:28
Eastern? No, no...
:22:29
No?
:22:32
I remember as a teenager
I went to Warsaw,

:22:34
when it was still
a strict communist regime.

:22:37
Which I don't approve of at all.
:22:39
Sure you don't...
:22:40
- No, I do...
-No, I'm just kidding!

:22:42
But, anyway, something about being
there was very interesting, I found.

:22:45
After a couple of weeks,
:22:46
something changed in me.
:22:49
The city was quite gloomy and gray...
:22:52
but, after a while, my brain
seemed clearer.

:22:55
I was writing a lot more in my journal,
:22:57
ideas I never thought of before.
:22:58
Communist ideas?
:23:00
- Listen, I'm not...
- I'm sorry, I can't...

:23:04
Go on!
:23:05
I'll send you to a Gulag!
:23:06
No... But, it took me
a while to figure out why

:23:09
it felt, you know, so different.
:23:11
And then, one day, as I was walking
through the Jewish cemetery,

:23:13
I don't know why,
but it occurred to me there,

:23:16
I realized that I had spent
the last 2 weeks

:23:18
away from most of my habits.
:23:20
TV was in a language I didn't understand,
:23:24
So, all I've been doing was...
:23:26
walk around, thinking right!
:23:30
My brain felt like it was at rest,
free from the consuming frenzy.

:23:33
And I have to say, it was
almost like a natural high.

:23:35
I felt so peaceful inside,
:23:37
no... strange urge to be
somewhere else,

:23:40
to shop...
:23:42
Maybe it could have seemed
like boredom at first,

:23:44
but it quickly became very,
very sore full.

:23:47
It's interesting, you know?
:23:48
Can you believe that it was 9 years ago
that we were walking around Vienna?

:23:52
Nine years?
No that's impossible...

:23:54
It was, it feels like two
months ago to me,

:23:56
but it was summer '94.
