1:40:00
. . .not worrying about
how you had files in your office.
1:40:04
I guess he saw it as a package deal.
You either cared or you didn't.
1:40:08
When we went to Ireland
on Barry Lyndon...
1:40:12
. . .he left this 1 5-page document. . .
1:40:14
. . .of care instructions
of how to look after the animals.
1:40:18
And the 37th instruction is:
1:40:22
"If a fight should develop
between Freddy and Leo..."
1:40:25
That was a father and son
tomcats that we had...
1:40:28
"The only way you can do anything
is dump water on them. . .
1:40:31
. . .try to grab Freddy
and run out of the room.
1:40:34
Do not try and pick up Leo.
1:40:36
Alternatively, if you open a door and
let Freddy out, he can outrun Leo. . .
1:40:41
. . .but if trapped in a place where
you can't separate them. . .
1:40:44
. . .keep dumping water, shouting,
jumping up and down. . .
1:40:47
. . .and distracting
and waving shirts.
1:40:50
Just try and get them apart
and grab Freddy. "
1:40:52
I remember once he had a cat that was
drinking excessively and I said:
1:40:56
"Perhaps you can measure
how much he's drinking. "
1:40:59
He said, "No, that's impossible.
There are too many cats. "
1:41:03
Then he phoned back and said,
"I could count the number of laps. "
1:41:07
And he said, "How much does each lap
take up in terms of water?"
1:41:11
I said, "I don't think
there's any information. "
1:41:14
He said, "I'll try and find out. "
1:41:16
He'd go off and try and find out. . .
1:41:19
. . .then he'd work it out
and have a figure.
1:41:22
He was compulsive in that way.
1:41:24
He was a kind of
ultimate Jewish mother.
1:41:26
If an animal was ill
or if one of us were ill. . .
1:41:31
. . .Stanley was like Superman.
1:41:33
I was very ill myself
for quite a while. . .
1:41:36
. . .and he was so sweet. . .
1:41:39
. . .so kind, so Ioyal.
1:41:41
Everything you want somebody to be,
he was.
1:41:45
He was really, really kind.
1:41:50
However, when you weren't ill. . .
1:41:53
. . .that's when you bought it.
1:41:55
He very seldom praised you,
because he had this obsession. . .
1:41:59
. . .that if he praised you. . .
