Goldfish Memory
:01:14 You know goldfish have only
a three second memory.
:01:18 That means if it takes 3 seconds
to swim around the bowl...
:01:21 everything is new.
:01:23 Each time two goldfish meet
it's like it's the first time.
:01:26 It's just like humans really.
:01:29 Each time we fall in love it's as
if we're doing it for the first time.
:01:32 Some kind of chemical reaction
kicks in and wipes out...
:01:35 all the memories of how painful
the last heartbreak was...
:01:38 and we think, "Wow! This is great,
this is new, this is different!"
:01:45 Like women,
forgetting the pain of childbirth.
:01:47 Lovely, so we never change,
or learn, or grow.
:01:51 We simply go round and round
repeating the same mistakes...
:01:53 until we die?
What's the point?
:01:56 - Love.
- What is love?
:02:00 I brought you a present.
:02:03 Tom...
:02:05 - Rilke's poems?
- Yes.
:02:08 In German?
:02:10 Yes. With facing translations.
:02:13 - Thanks.
- Here, look at page 23.
:02:16 "Again and Again".
:02:18 "Again and Again
Even knowing the landscape of love
:02:22 And the little churchyard there
With it's sorrowing names
:02:26 And the hauntingly silent abyss
Into which the others descend..."
:02:31 I would think something more like...
:02:34 ...champagne.
- I know, bubbles.
:02:37 Coo-coo!
:02:40 - Holy Mother of God!
- I'm so sorry! I'm sorry.
:02:48 Yeah, look, you're fine.
:02:51 Sorry.
:02:55 Typical.
