:30:01
There's no unspoken seduction, as you say.
:30:04
I don't like that.
:30:05
Instead of making me comfortable,
it chills me. I feel stiff and awkward.
:30:11
I like desiring and being desired...
:30:14
...especially when it's unspoken,
even if it goes nowhere.
:30:19
The frantic and possessive love
I had for Eve took away my taste for it.
:30:23
It came back when I saw you,
not the first time...
:30:26
...when you were leaving the bathroom,
but at dinner.
:30:30
You're not listening?
:30:32
-I know what you're thinking.
-Tell me.
:30:36
Something like, "I've heard this all before."
:30:40
That's not what I was thinking.
:30:43
-What were you thinking about?
-My class, Monday afternoon.
:30:49
The present situation
doesn't interest you at all!
:30:52
The situation is what made me think of it.
:30:56
I was trying to remember
what I was thinking when I said yes.
:30:59
-Transcendental thought?
-More like psychology.
:31:04
Well?
:31:05
Upon reflection,
though I haven't had much time...
:31:09
...I think I wasn't thinking of anything.
:31:12
I mean...
:31:14
...not of any of the things which guide
people's conduct with each other:
:31:18
Attraction, repulsion, love, hate...
:31:21
...domination, submission....
:31:24
I wasn't thinking of you, nor Mathieu,
nor of myself.
:31:28
You're saying you acted automatically?
:31:30
Not exactly. I acted logically.
:31:34
Following the logic of numbers,
the number three.
:31:37
Things always come in threes.
:31:39
Yes, it's a game.
:31:41
Also, there's the tradition
of the number three:
:31:43
The triangle, the syllogism...
:31:46
...the Holy Trinity,
Hegel's dialectic, et cetera....
:31:49
All the things that define a closed world...
:31:52
...that set up permanence
and are perhaps keys to the mystery.
:31:58
But I didn't feel pulled by an outside force.
