:53:00
Just raw human passion.
:53:02
Isnt Willem Dafoe
part of that group?
:53:04
Yeah, and he did this monologue
about how
:53:06
all the best things in life are
hidden in peoples basements.
:53:09
Like the Louvre.
:53:14
Im sorry.
:53:15
You were saying, Charles?
:53:17
Just...
:53:18
No, what about the Louvre?
:53:19
Tell us what you
were going to say.
:53:21
Well, only a fraction of
the Louvre is on the walls.
:53:24
The rest is in
the basement.
:53:25
Youve been in the basement
of the Louvre?
:53:28
Oh, yes.
:53:29
I was an art history major
at Vassar.
:53:31
Ah.
:53:32
And so, whats down there?
:53:34
Well, thats where
the real show begins.
:53:37
Unspoiled by dilettante.
:53:39
DaVinci, Michelangelo,
David, Chardin.
:53:44
"Allow me to assist you,
Patrice.
:53:46
"Oh, let me light that
for you, Monica.
:53:49
"What, this?
:53:50
"This is my family crest.
:53:52
"Been in the family for...
Oh, in the basement?
:53:54
"What do they have
in the basement?
:53:55
"Why, the works of da Vinci
:53:57
"Michelangelo, Chardin, David
:53:59
all surrounded by great coral
sponges to absorb the moisture."
:54:05
Just for the record,
I was working it.
:54:07
I was in the zone
:54:08
and I would have
gotten her number
:54:11
if you hadnt turned
the evening
:54:13
into a guided tour
of the Louvre.
:54:15
My apologies.
:54:17
Lets get
one thing straight.
:54:18
Patrice, she thought
you were cute--
:54:20
probably gay and cute.
:54:22
And cute, Leo,
thats the kiss of death.
:54:24
-Perhaps.
-Perhaps? Certainly.
:54:25
I believe this is her number.
:54:28
As I see it, Patrice has not
an inkling of your affections.
:54:31
And its no wonder.
:54:32
You, Charles,
are a merry-andrew.
:54:34
A what?
:54:35
Everything plays a farce to you.
:54:37
Women respond to sincerity.
:54:39
This requires pulling ones
tongue from ones cheek.
:54:41
No one wants to be
romanced by a buffoon.
:54:45
Now, that number rings her.
:54:47
-Yes.
-So ring her tomorrow.
:54:49
I cant. She gave
the number to you.
:54:51
Only because I told her
of your affections.
:54:55
Wha-What did you say?
:54:57
Merely that you admired her
:54:58
but you were hesitant
to make an overture
