1:24:01
- Pa-Pa-Pardon me?
- We've been having an affair.
1:24:04
- Did you say Sheldon Flender?
- Yes, he's been in love
with me for a long time.
1:24:07
Do you know his theory that art
is relational, that it requires two--
1:24:11
the artist
and the audience?
1:24:13
- He feels that way about sex too.
- About-- About sex?
1:24:15
Yes, between the two right people,
it can become an art form.
1:24:18
Are you saying that you and
Flender have raised intercourse
to the level of an art form?
1:24:22
Not just intercourse.
Foreplay too.
1:24:24
- My friend, the unproduced playwright?
- He's been after me a long time.
1:24:27
You never seem to want to get married,
and so, one night we went out,
had a few drinks...
1:24:31
and started discussing art
and literature and Freud and Nietzsche.
1:24:35
And in order to illustrate
a point on Greek etymology...
1:24:37
I noticed he'd
unbuttoned his fly--
1:24:39
No, no, no, no! Please, please!
I don't need to hear any more.
1:24:43
But he's a major talent. You've
said so yourself a million times.
1:24:46
With an intellect that big, you tend
to create your own moral universe.
1:25:07
[ Knocking ]
1:25:13
- I just wanted to wish you good luck.
- Oh, darling.
1:25:15
You look pale.
No, no, not to worry.
1:25:18
Soon this town will belong to you.
We're having dinner Sunday night
with Gene O'Neill.
1:25:23
He's heard that your writing
is morbid and depressing.
He's dying to meet you.
1:25:27
- Oh, here's that brush.
- I know you'll be terrific tonight.
1:25:29
Oh! They're your words.
1:25:33
I'm just a vessel.
1:25:35
You fill me.
1:25:38
And this? This is
just the beginning.
1:25:41
I've been discussing all kinds of new
ideas for vehicles for me with my agent.
1:25:46
There's a variety of women
I can play. As you get to know me...
1:25:49
you'll see there's no limit
to my range.
1:25:52
They say that I can
still play late twenties...
1:25:55
but I say no, no,
thirty tops.
1:25:59
We'll go to my house
in the Vineyard. It's quiet there.
