:52:01
I remember thinking at the time, that...
:52:03
so many of the men that
I admire most, you know,
:52:06
that their lives were...
:52:08
were dedicated to something
greater than themselves...
:52:11
So, you got married because men
you admire were married?
:52:14
No, no, no, it...
:52:16
It's more like I have this...
:52:17
this idea of my best self!
:52:20
You know?
:52:20
And I wanted to pursue that...
:52:22
even if might have been overwriting
my honor other self!
:52:25
You know what I'm saying?
:52:27
I mean, it's funny like...
:52:28
in the moment, I remember thinking
that it didn't much matter
:52:30
the "Who?" of it all...
:52:32
I mean, that nobody is
gonna be everything to...
:52:34
And that ultimately, it's just a simple
action of committing yourself,
:52:37
you know, meeting your
responsibilities that...
:52:39
that matters.
:52:41
I mean, what is love?
:52:42
Right, if it's not respect,
trust, admiration? And I...
:52:45
I felt all those things!
:52:48
So, cut to the present tense,
I feel like I'm running a small nursery
:52:51
with somebody I...
:52:52
used to date.
:52:54
I mean,
:52:55
I'm like a monk, you know.
:52:56
I mean, I've had sex less than...
:52:57
... 10 times in the last 4 years.
:53:01
What?
:53:02
What, what?
:53:03
Are you laughing at me?
:53:04
No
:53:04
It sounds pathetic?
:53:05
What monastery you know
where monks have sex 10 times?
:53:08
Ok, I'm doing better than
most monks. All right?
:53:11
But I do, I feel like if somebody were
to touch me, you know,
:53:13
I would dissolve into molecules.
:53:15
Well, we're here.
We've gotta go.
:53:17
Come on.
:53:26
- Bon soir!
- Bon soir!
:53:33
I'm sorry, uhm...
:53:34
to hear that...
:53:35
- You know, that...
- What?
:53:36
you're not that happy
with your marriage.
:53:39
Well, this friend of mine,
she's a shrink, and...
:53:41
Yeah? How's she doing?
:53:42
She's a mess, but...
:53:44
No, she was telling me that
she's been dealing with a lot of couples
:53:47
that are breaking up
for the same exact reason.
:53:48
Uhum, what reason is that?
:53:50
Well, all this couples expected
after a few years of living together
:53:52
for the passion, that consuming desire,
to be the same as in the beginning.
:53:56
- It's impossible!
- No, I know, I know that...
:53:57
I mean, God, otherwise we
would end up with aneurism
:53:59
if we were in that constant
state of excitement, right?
