:02:00
How time distorts things.
:02:03
So you know the movie
I'm talking about?

:02:05
It was wrongfully labeled
"A Tarantino Film,"

:02:09
even though he was just credited
as executive producer.

:02:12
So this guy from NYU,
or whatever--

:02:14
who wasn't even
a good Victor facsimile--

:02:16
and I were talking
on this ratty old couch.

:02:21
I'm sure you've seen this movie,
this Russian classic,

:02:24
- "The Man with the Camera"?
- Yep, yep.

:02:26
I kept agreeing with his likes
and dislikes, all the time thinking

:02:30
that while he might not be Victor,
he was cute enough.

:02:33
It's real.
It's like real... shit.

:02:36
I was sure that I was mispronouncing
all these filmmakers' names,

:02:40
remembering
all the wrong actors,

:02:42
naming the wrong cinematographers,
but I wanted him.

:02:45
...I see the same kind
of "silent movie actress" quality.

:02:49
Seriously, has anyone ever told you
you look like Clara Bow?

:02:52
Because you do, I'm serious.
I'm telling you.

:02:55
I know these things, and...
and...

:02:57
Woman: I could see that his gaze was
drifting towards Kristin Notneff.

:03:03
And she was looking back at him
with confidence, because she knew

:03:06
that underneath her clothes
she was wearing a black bra

:03:10
with matching black lace panties,
which I wasn't.

:03:13
Um, I'm sorry,
what was I talking about?

:03:17
Woman:
But I had the next best thing.

:03:19
I've got a joint
in my room.

:03:25
Except it wasn't my room.
It was Lorna Slavin's room,

:03:29
who was off-campus
at her boyfriend's house,

:03:31
probably swallowing
his DNA.

:03:34
And I didn't have
a joint either,

:03:36
and if I did,
I didn't know where it was,

:03:38
because it would have been
Lorna Slavin's joint.

:03:42
He wouldn't have cared
if I had one or not.

:03:52
I must have passed out
around then.

:03:55
When I came to,
he was already fucking me,

:03:57
but he didn't know that I was
a virgin and that it hurt.
