:24:03
- Seconds?
- Ah!
:24:12
Blunt question. What's he like?
:24:15
- Oh, let's not be star-fuckers.
- I'm not a star- fucker.
:24:20
Well... you know my father. He's... perfect.
:24:24
So confident and in control.
:24:27
And I used to wonder how could
I ever possibly live up to him.
:24:31
And then one night, when I was 16-
:24:34
we were at the Cannes Film Festival,
of all places -
:24:37
I looked up and said to him:
:24:39
"Wow, Dad, this is all so easy for you."
:24:44
Why did I say that?
:24:47
He sat me down and set me straight.
:24:50
Actually, it was a relief for me
to know my father was no superman.
:24:54
That he has problems. And there are
moments in his life when he's scared.
:25:00
And, yes, sometimes
life is whipping his tail.
:25:04
And he doesn't feel like he can get
through the day. That's refreshing for me.
:25:08
Because I have times like that myself.
:25:13
I just loved the kid so much.
I wanted to reach out to him.
:25:16
Then we asked him
what his thesis was on.
:25:19
- The one that was stolen.
- Well...
:25:23
A teacher out on Long lsland was dropped
from his job for fighting with a student.
:25:28
Weeks later, he returned to the classroom,
shot the student - unsuccessfully,
:25:34
held the class hostage,
and then shot himself - successfully.
:25:40
This fact caught my eye.
Last sentence, Times -
:25:44
"A neighbour described
the teacher as a nice boy,
:25:47
always reading Catcher in the Rye. "
:25:51
This nitwit Chapman,
who shot John Lennon,
:25:54
said he did it to draw the attention
of the world to Catcher in the Rye,
:25:59
and the reading of this book
would be his defence.
