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?

1:32:00
- I wanna be cremated.
- Now? Or after your death?

1:32:03
Let's change the subject. We came out
to have a fun and relaxing evening.

1:32:07
Let's drink to good times. Comic or tragic,
1:32:11
the most important thing to do
is to enjoy life while you can

1:32:14
because we only go round once,
and when it's over, it's over.

1:32:18
And, perfect cardiogram or not, when
you least expect it, it could end like that.
