:07:02
I mean, wasn't Brook Farm Fourierist?
:07:05
- It failed.
- That's debatable.
:07:07
- Whether Brook Farm failed?
- That it ceased to exist, I'll grant you.
:07:10
But whether it was really a failure
I don't think can be definitively said.
:07:13
Well -Well, for me,
ceasing to exist is failure.
:07:17
I mean, that's -
that's pretty definitive.
:07:20
Well, everyone ceases to exist.
That doesn't mean everyone's a failure.
:07:26
- You really feel that way?
- I really do.
:07:28
- Really?
- Really!
:07:31
Tom Townsend.
:07:33
( Whispers )
Tom Townsend.
:07:35
It's a fine name.
:07:37
What about Tommy?
Tommy Townsend?
:07:39
It's sounds more U.C.
:07:41
Really? What's that?
:07:43
Well, we come here all the time,
thus the S.F.R.P. -
:07:47
- Sally Fowler Rat Pack.
- Oh.
:07:51
Mine and Charlie's are too.
:07:53
But that's the ex -
exception though.
:07:55
I mean, divorce is actually comparatively rare
among standard New York social types...
:07:59
contrary to what people might think.
:08:01
Well, usually there's
something wrong though.
:08:03
Dead fathers are a common problem.
:08:05
Jane's father's dead.
Very suddenly, last year.
:08:07
- Must have been awful for her.
- Yes.
:08:09
It was tough on him too.
:08:11
That's different though.
That doesn't mean a broken home.
:08:14
Well, it still means having your mother
go out on dates.
:08:17
My point was that the common image
of divorce and decadent behavior...
:08:20
being prevalent among
New York social types...
:08:23
is not really accurate.
:08:25
That's more Southampton.
:08:29
( Stereo; Cha-cha-cha )
:08:32
( Guests Chattering )
:08:39
- ( Continues )
- Okay, Cynthia, let's cha-cha-cha.
:08:42
It's completely ridiculous.
:08:44
Oh, now, the cha-cha
is no more ridiculous than life itself.
:08:46
- I don't know how to do it.
- You must have learned it in dancing school.
:08:49
-( Nick ) Cynthia was a dancing school dropout.
-( Cynthia ) I've got it.
:08:51
- ( Continues )
- ( Nick ) Cha-cha-cha
:08:53
Ah, the cha-cha.
:08:55
I don't think it's possible to forget the cha-cha.
I think you're blocking it out.
:08:59
Cha-cha, cha-cha-cha
Cha-cha, cha-cha-cha
