He asked me to come over
and help him.

:02:03
He said he needed help. I'm always
helping him with his films.

:02:09
We used to do a lot of partying
together, but I don't party anymore.

"Dear girl, do you know
what you possess in your hand?

:02:17
Do you have any idea
of its capabilities?

:02:19
Do you have any inkling, any semblance
of understanding whatsoever?"

:02:25

:03:23
I wasn't. I knew there were
stilted performances...

:03:26
and I did nothing
to rectify the situation.

:03:30
So I think, though, it's good
to face things like this...

:03:35
because then you can deal
with them and realize 'em.

:03:38
And when you're ready
to shoot Northwestern...

:03:41
you've got these emotions
and these complexities cornered.
