:19:00
You...
You were living in the US?
:19:02
Yes, from... '96 to '99.
:19:05
I was studying at NYU.
:19:07
Oh, God, don't tell me that, Celine!
:19:10
- What?
- No, it's just...
:19:12
- Nothing, I mean I...
- What?
:19:14
I've been living in New York
since '98.
:19:16
You know, we were there
at the same time!
:19:17
- In New York?
- Yeah...
:19:19
Oh, that's weird...
:19:20
It actually crossed my mind a few times
that I might run into you, but...
:19:24
The odds are so slim, right?
So...
:19:27
I didn't even know what city
you were living in.
:19:29
Weren't you somewhere in Texas?
:19:30
- You were in Texas...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
:19:31
Definitely, I just...
I was for a long time, I just...
:19:34
You know,
wanted to try New York.
:19:38
What brought you back here?
:19:40
I had finished my masters, for one.
And... no visa. No more visa.
:19:45
And, anyway, I was starting
to get paranoid.
:19:47
All... the violence in the medias.
Gang violence, murders...
:19:51
Especially serial killers.
:19:54
But, the final stroll was:
One night I heard a...
:19:57
some noise on my fire escape,
so I called 911.
:20:00
- And the cops came, eventually.
- Yeah, like 3 hours later.
:20:03
Yeah, after I had been raped
and killed about 30 times.
:20:06
No, but... It was a man
and a woman officer,
:20:08
and I was explaining to them
what I had heard,
:20:11
when the woman had to run
downstairs to move the police car.
:20:13
So, I was left alone with the male cop.
:20:15
And right away, he asked
me if I had a gun...
:20:17
And I said no,
of course not, I...
:20:20
And he told me:
"You better think about getting one."
:20:23
"This is America,
not France". Okay?
:20:26
And I said to him, you know,
I have no idea how to shoot a gun,
:20:29
and, I have no interest
in firearms, whatsoever.
:20:32
And that's when he pulled
out his gun, like this...
:20:36
and he went:
:20:36
"On one day... you're gonna have
something like this in your face,
:20:42
and if you wanna have a long life,
:20:45
you're gonna have to choose...
:20:46
between you... alone."
:20:50
And they left...
And the next morning I called
:20:53
for an application to get a gun.
:20:55
Me, with a gun!
I mean, that's really scary...
:20:58
But then I realized something
was wrong, the way that cop
