:17:03
I'll remember that.
:17:07
- What do you do?
- I'm a housewife.

:17:09
- How come you're eating alone?
- I'm not eating alone.

:17:16
- May I ask you a question?
- Yeah, go ahead.

:17:20
Why do men chase women?
:17:26
- Nerves?
- I think it's because they fear death.

:17:34
Maybe. You want to know
why I chase women?

:17:38
I find women charming.
:17:40
I teach these classes
I've taught for a million years.

:17:44
The spontaneity went out of it
for me a long time ago.

:17:48
I started out excited about something,
wanted to share it.

:17:50
Now it's rote,
a multiplication table.

:17:54
Except sometimes
I'll be droning along.

:17:59
I'll look up,
and I'll see a fresh...

:18:03
beautiful, young face.
:18:05
And it's all new to her.
:18:06
I'm just this great guy
who's brilliant and thinks out loud.

:18:11
When that happens, when I look
out there among those chairs...

:18:13
and see a young woman's face...
:18:17
and see me in her eyes...
:18:19
the way I always wanted to be,
maybe once was...

:18:23
I ask her out for a date.
:18:27
It doesn't last long.
:18:30
A few weeks.
A couple of precious months.

:18:35
Then she catches on that
I'm just this burnt-out, old gasbag...

:18:38
and she's as fresh and bright...
:18:41
and full of promise
as moonlight in a martini.

:18:53
At that moment, she stands up and throws
a glass of water in my face...

:18:56
or some action to that effect.
:18:59
What you don't know about women
is a lot.
