:18:01
- Is this how you dress to go out?
- Yes.
:18:04
Your Trade Fair outfit is so cool.
:18:06
- Those clothes are awful.
- Really? I think they're cool.
:18:09
Why do I always look better in mirrors
than in photographs?
:18:12
I like your outfit. Very New Wave.
:18:14
- You sure you don't want to go?
- No.
:18:16
Good.
:18:25
Except for work,
I'd been in a funk for some time.
:18:28
I'd never mention that to Fred.
:18:31
He was the last person to trust
with a personal confidence.
:18:35
I don't know whether I had found God
in Barcelona...
:18:37
... or was having a religious phase.
:18:39
It all began after the sad and guilt-ridden
break up with Betty...
:18:43
... with whom I'd been deeply involved,
including carnally...
:18:46
... despite never having loved her.
:18:48
The attraction of physical beauty...
:18:51
... transformed a good friendship
into a horrible pre-marital situation.
:18:55
This led directly to the Old Testament.
:19:00
Two Old Testament books, in particular...
:19:04
... included advice on romantic matters,
some of it, very tough.
:19:23
After what happened with Betty,
I resolved not to sleep with any girl...
:19:26
... until I met the one I wanted to marry
and spend the rest of my life with.
:19:35
I had no idea if I'd meet such a person
or if she existed, plain or not.
:19:44
My aspiration was to free romance
from the chains of beauty and carnality...
:19:48
... and stop doing harm.
