:47:04
Alex loved this place.
:47:08
I can understand it.
It's terrific.

:47:22
You remind me of Alex.
:47:32
I ain't him.
:47:35
Nobody thinks they're
a bad person.

:47:37
I don't claim people
think they do the right thing.

:47:39
They may know they do
dishonest or manipulative things...

:47:43
... but think there's a good reason
for it.

:47:45
They think it'll turn out
for the best.

:47:48
If it turns out best for them, it
is by definition what's best.

:47:52
You also come up against
a question of style.

:47:55
My style may be too direct.
:47:58
Perhaps given my style
I seem more nakedly...

:48:01
... opportunistic or jerky or...
:48:04
What was the other thing?
:48:06
- Manipulative?
- Whatever.

:48:07
All that's happening is
I'm trying to get what I want.

:48:10
Which is what we all do, but
their styles are so warm...

:48:13
... you don't realize
they're trying to get what they want.

:48:16
So my transparent efforts
are more honest and admirable.

:48:20
Why does this sound
like a massive rationalization?

:48:23
Don't knock rationalization.
Where would we be without it?

:48:26
I don't know anyone who can go a day
without 2 or 3 rationalizations.

:48:29
They're more important than sex.
:48:30
Nothing's more important than sex!
:48:33
Ever gone a week
without a rationalization?

:48:36
What's your shoe size?
:48:38
Six and a half.
:48:41
Still the best way to determine
if it's ready.

:48:44
- Meg, what's your shoe size?
- Who wants to know?

:48:46
What, it's about a six and a half?
:48:47
It used to be, but now it's seven.
:48:50
- Your feet grow as you get older.
- I wish everything did.

:48:52
How much longer?
Everything's getting cold.

:48:54
After 12 years you haven't
learned to make anything else?

:48:57
- I've improved on it.
- Now it's edible?
