:53:00
I guess he didn't remember me there
from Christmas two years ago.
:53:03
Then there was
some confusion and whispering...
:53:05
and, finally, they gave me a piece of paper
with a Santa Fe, New Mexico address on it.
:53:09
They told me he'd moved to Santa Fe.
I couldn't believe it.
:53:13
They took me up to the apartment,
and except for some paper and litter...
:53:16
and wire coat hangers lying around,
it was completely empty.
:53:20
He hadn't told me
anything about moving.
:53:23
It was quite a surprise.
:53:26
That's awful.
There must be some explanation.
:53:30
He must have written you or something,
and the letter got delayed.
:53:32
I don't know.
:53:35
And you had such a good relationship.
:53:37
In retrospect, I wonder how good it was.
I hadn't seen him since last spring.
:53:42
Maybe I was just kidding myself.
:53:47
Oh, I've been reading Jane Austen.
Persuasion.
:53:50
I like it. I was surprised.
:54:10
The titled aristocracy
are the scum of the Earth.
:54:13
What really makes me furious
is that you have a whole class of people-
:54:16
mostly Europeans-
all looking down at me.
:54:19
You always say ''titled aristocrats.''
What about untitled aristocrats?
:54:23
I couldn't very well despise them,
could I?
:54:25
That would be self-hatred,
which is unhealthy.
:54:28
You're so conceited.
:54:30
Well, saying that the titled aristocracy
are the scum of the Earth...
:54:33
is -well, is obviously
an exaggeration.
:54:36
But - But it's true that the forces
that oblige members of the U.H.B....
:54:40
to at least appear to act
productively and responsibly...
:54:44
carries little weight,
or none at all...
:54:46
with members of society whose social positions
are secure no matter what they do.
:54:55
So you had a trust fund?
The pieces are beginning to fall into place.
:54:59
I don't have one anymore.
