that rationality is not a device
to alter facts.

:33:04
But moreover, I think of it
as an extraneous tool, a gadget...

:33:07
somewhat like the television.
:33:10
To look at it any other way
is ridiculous.

:33:13
There's some good things
on it, though.

:33:17
- I beg your pardon.
- The TV.

:33:19
There's some good things on it
sometimes.

:33:21
I have strong doubts. Nevertheless,
I am not discussing media.

:33:25
And there is always hope
for the few.

:33:28
- What about love?
- What about it?

:33:31
Wouldn't you say that more ill
has been done in the name of love...

:33:34
than in the name of abomination?
:33:36
No, I wouldn't.
:33:38
Well, you are a romantic,
Catherine...

:33:42
and once more,
about to be married.

:33:44
So you can be excused from
objective discussions. But ask Carl.

:33:48
Ask him if even the institution
of marriage is completely free from it.

:33:53

:34:00
- Excuse me.
- That's reactive.

:34:03
But if I may say without dampening
the spirit of your adventure...

:34:06
You haven't dampened
my spirit, Samia.

:34:08
- Excuse me.
- Well, I should hope not.

:34:10
- But it's still open to discussion.
- I'm sorry.

:34:17
I'm sorry,
I don't speak French.

:34:19
And loftier natures...
:34:21
- What kind of dog is this?
- This is a border collie.

:34:25
I had a baby kitty cat once.
:34:27
It was a fluffy thing.
Bobby gave it to me. Remember, Bobby?

:34:33
- The little pussy cat you gave me?
- Yeah.

:34:37
It had two little white front paws...
:34:40
and I was crazy after her.
:34:43
We left her at some friends' house...
:34:45
and she got squashed flatter than
a tortilla outside their mobile home.

:34:49
There. Do you see
what I mean?

:34:52
The choice of words juxtaposed
with the image of a fluffy kitten.

:34:56
The enchantment of words
"squashed," "flat," et cetera.
