:30:03
A secure, romantic relationship,
before they became interested...
:30:07
...in a relation of that kind.
:30:09
Oh, no.
:30:15
Using his position to get involved
with a 15-year old student?
:30:19
Nothing really happened until summer.
By then I was 16.
:30:23
Oh, well, 16...
:30:24
Also, I had something to do with it.
:30:27
Still. Just from the little you've said.
I really hate that guy.
:30:31
In truth, much of what you say
reminds me of Ramon then.
:30:36
Ramon soon left from teaching
to return to the newspaper.
:30:38
He had read the works of Philip Agee...
:30:41
...so he was an expert
on the American CIA...
:30:44
...and its involvement
in the internal affairs of every country.
:30:47
Terrific.
:30:48
One year, the correspondent of fashion
of his newspaper fell ill...
:30:52
...before the Milan collections
and Ramon was sent in her place.
:30:56
Ramon came back from Milan
with a new idea...
:31:00
...which he referred to
as the ''idea of physical beauty.''
:31:03
What's that?
:31:05
His thought was that...
:31:07
...beauty is the closest thing to divinity
in the modern world.
:31:11
All the old gods are dead.
There is no God that we know.
:31:14
But in beauty,
the memory of divinity remains.
:31:18
For always after...
:31:19
...beauty was the subject Ramon
wanted to dedicate his journalism to.
:31:24
He wanted to write about
flowers and things?
:31:26
No.
:31:28
It was the beauty of the female face
and form that fascinated Ramon.
:31:35
He transferred to the Style of Life
section of the newspaper...
:31:39
...where he did series
on photographer's models...
:31:42
...and on the young women
who aspire to be actresses.
:31:45
The articles were accompanied by photos,
and, as Ramon is a good writer...
:31:48
...they were very popular with readers.
:31:51
That makes sense.
:31:52
There's something powerful
about the idea of physical beauty.
:31:57
He's not stupid.
:31:59
It was important for Ramon's career
as a journalist.
