1:24:01
People close to you,
your mother.
1:24:03
What did my mother say?
1:24:05
Not a thing.
1:24:08
Explain, will you...
1:24:11
Maybe I'm dumb,
1:24:12
but I need things explained.
1:24:14
Let's say I imagined it all,
and forget it, but...
1:24:18
I want you to know
that I'm fiercely independent and...
1:24:23
I don't foresee any tie...
1:24:26
which might alienate my freedom,
if I may use legal jargon.
1:24:32
Then I'm sorry I bothered you.
1:24:37
You said to call.
I did it as a friend.
1:24:41
And now I'm being accused
of chasing after you!
1:24:45
I'm not accusing you of anything.
It's only a friendly warning.
1:24:51
Just don't get any wrong ideas.
1:24:55
I'm not available.
Even as a friend.
1:24:58
First, I'm very busy.
1:25:00
There's my career,
which rightly or wrongly, comes first.
1:25:03
That's very selfish,
even disagreeable, but...
1:25:07
I don't want to conceal anything.
1:25:12
Now this is harder to say...
1:25:16
I could get out of it
by making excuses, such as...
1:25:19
I don't like women,
or I'm in love with one woman...
1:25:24
or I'm not attracted
to your type of beauty.
1:25:28
In fact, perhaps I shouldn't say this
1:25:33
but you're the type of woman
who appeals to me.
1:25:37
Which is why I have to defend
myself against you.
1:25:42
Why defend myself, you'll say?
1:25:46
Why, indeed?
1:25:50
Much as I regret it,
and for reasons I can't explain,
1:25:54
I'm not in love with you.
1:25:59
It's not you, personally,
it only has to do with me.
