:25:00
Not many people wear them anymore.
They look much better.
:25:03
So many things which were better in the past
have been abandoned for supposed convenience.
:25:07
- I had no idea anyone wore those anymore.
- It's a small thing, but symbolically important.
:25:12
Our parents' generation was never
interested in keeping up standards.
:25:15
They wanted to be happy, but the last way
to be happy is to make it your objective in life.
:25:20
I wonder if our generation's
any better than our parents'.
:25:22
Oh, it's far worse. Our generation's probably
the worst since the Protestant Reformation.
:25:27
It's barbaric, but a barbarism even worse
than the old-fashioned, straightforward kind.
:25:32
Now barbarism is cloaked with all sorts
of self-righteousness and moral superiority.
:25:37
- Will you look at this?
- You're obviously talking about
a lot more than just detachable collars.
:25:41
Yeah, I am.
:25:56
( Nick ) Because he's obviously
not an interesting guy.
:25:58
Why is he so successful
with girls then?
:26:01
Rick Von Sloneker is tall,
rich, good-looking...
:26:05
stupid, dishonest, conceited...
:26:07
a bully, liar, drunk and thief...
:26:10
an egomaniac
and probably psychotic.
:26:12
In short,
highly attractive to women.
:26:15
You're completely unfair.
You don't know anything about Rick.
:26:18
- In fact, he's quite shy.
- God!
:26:21
He's a considerate and sensitive man.
:26:23
The rest is just
a superficial game he plays, a fachade...
:26:26
which you've obviously
been taken in by.
:26:28
It's incredible, the eagerness of girls like you
to justify the worst bastards imaginable...
:26:31
as being sensitive and shy.
:26:33
But if any guy who really was shy
dared talk to you...
:26:36
you wouldn't give him the time of day-
your eyes would glaze over.
:26:39
You're really hung up on Rick, aren't you?
He must really threaten you somehow.
:26:42
You're right.
I do feel threatened...
:26:44
that I may get a venereal disease
from one of the St. Tim's girls he's been with.
:26:50
Did you learn that
from your lovemaking with Rick?
:26:53
I hear it can get really rough.
:26:55
- Hey!
- Don't do that again.
:26:59
For me, it isn't erotic.
