1:30:01
I was dreaming of you, actually.
1:30:04
- Me? Why were you dreaming about me?
- I dreamt I was making love to you.

1:30:10
- Really?
- Melinda...

1:30:13
I'm in love with you.
1:30:16
Me? You never said anything.
1:30:19
I was married,
and when it was breaking up you met Bill.

1:30:23
My God. Couldn't you tell
I've been in love with you for a long time?

1:30:27
I couldn't even tell that I was in love with you.
1:30:30
And now you're spying on me.
1:30:32
What a silly thing -
1:30:34
a grown woman, a mature, sophisticated
woman, outside a door, spying.

1:30:41
By the way,
I found a piece of your bathrobe in my door.

1:30:46
- Strange. I should tell my laundress.
- You don't have a laundress.

1:30:52
Well, marry me and we'll get a laundress.
1:31:03
So, you see, it's all in the eye of the beholder.
We hear a little story, a few hearsay details.

1:31:09
You mould them into a tragic tale - a woman's
weakness for romance is her undoing.

1:31:14
And that's how you see life.
1:31:16
Whereas you, you take those details,
you put them into an amusing romance.

1:31:21
Great. That's your take on life.
1:31:23
But, obviously, there is no one
definitive essence that can be pinned down.

1:31:27
Well, moments of humour do exist.
I exploit them.

1:31:31
But, you know, they exist
within a tragic overall framework.

1:31:35
Is everybody going
to Phil Dorfman's funeral next week?

1:31:38
He dropped dead of a heart attack. He just
had his cardiogram, which was perfect.

1:31:43
- I hate funerals.
- Me too. Always, at the wrong time, I laugh.

1:31:46
See, that's my point. We laugh because
it masks our real terror about mortality.

1:31:52
I didn't mean to bring up
the subject of funerals.

1:31:55
Well, how can it be a romantic, funny world
if you can't trust your own cardiogram?
