00:09:45,418 --> 00:09:48,721
who just so happen
to have been presidents
of the United States.
178
00:09:48,721 --> 00:09:50,790
Y-y-you're right.
This isn't a law office,
179
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:52,758
and yes, indeed,
they were presidents.
180
00:09:52,758 --> 00:09:56,295
Yes, so what other conclusion
can we draw from this,
Mr. Sheldon,
181
00:09:56,295 --> 00:09:58,798
except that you're trying
to take advantage of me?
182
00:09:58,798 --> 00:10:01,267
Well, we--we could
also conclude that I'm a liar.
183
00:10:01,267 --> 00:10:03,502
Yes, we could,
and in fact, we have.
184
00:10:06,105 --> 00:10:07,607
I--i--I'm sorry.
185
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:10,710
It's just that i--i really
need your help,
miss dinsmore.
186
00:10:10,710 --> 00:10:12,511
You see,
I'm a brilliant novelist--
187
00:10:12,511 --> 00:10:15,247
yeah, and I invented
nuclear energy.
188
00:10:15,247 --> 00:10:17,450
If you'll excuse me,
i have to split some atoms.
189
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:19,752
Wait! wait! Wait!
190
00:10:22,989 --> 00:10:24,457
Miss dinsmore!
191
00:10:25,691 --> 00:10:28,361
Miss dinsmore!
192
00:10:28,361 --> 00:10:30,529
Could we please try
to put this behind us.
193
00:10:30,529 --> 00:10:33,466
I just want
your stenography services.
That's all.
194
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:36,302
I assure you,
I'm a desperate man.
195
00:10:36,302 --> 00:10:38,170
Well, I don't intend
on spending my time
196
00:10:38,170 --> 00:10:40,239
in the personal apartment
of a desperate man.
197
00:10:40,239 --> 00:10:43,843
You want sex, Mr. Sheldon.
You are barking up
the wrong body.
198
00:10:43,843 --> 00:10:47,113
Miss dinsmore,
i know my veracity
has been called into question,
199
00:10:47,113 --> 00:10:49,615
but I swear to god
that barking up your body
200
00:10:49,615 --> 00:10:52,118
is absolutely
the furthest thing
from my mind.
201
00:10:52,118 --> 00:10:54,987
Well, I don't believe you.
202
00:10:54,987 --> 00:10:57,156
Right now, i--i can't think
of any woman
203
00:10:57,156 --> 00:10:59,325
I'm less interested
in going to bed with.
204
00:10:59,325 --> 00:11:01,560
Nice meeting you.
205
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:03,262
What was that
supposed to mean?
206
00:11:04,030 --> 00:11:06,399
Well, I only meant that, uh,
207
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:08,067
while I'm sure
there are many men
208
00:11:08,067 --> 00:11:09,468
who'd be thrilled
209
00:11:09,468 --> 00:11:13,139
to find themselves in bed
with such a forthright woman
as yourself,
210
00:11:13,139 --> 00:11:15,474
I just have different tastes,
that's all.
211
00:11:15,474 --> 00:11:17,476
I prefer women
that are more...
212
00:11:18,411 --> 00:11:19,779
Less forthright.
213
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:25,885
Mr. Sheldon, didn't you expect
that whoever showed up
214
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:29,188
would immediately find out
that you weren't a law office?
215
00:11:29,188 --> 00:11:31,023
Miss dinsmore,
216
00:11:31,023 --> 00:11:35,761
I owe some guys $100,000
and I got to get it
to them in 30 days.
217
00:11:35,761 --> 00:11:39,098
The only way I can do that
is by finishing my next book,
218
00:11:39,098 --> 00:11:43,102
and the only way I can do that
is by dictating it
to a stenographer.
219
00:11:44,837 --> 00:11:46,305
How much do you have left?
220
00:11:46,305 --> 00:11:48,007
All of it.
221
00:11:48,007 --> 00:11:50,376
You want to dictate
an entire book to me?
222
00:11:50,376 --> 00:11:51,644
That's right.
223
00:11:51,644 --> 00:11:52,812
In 30 days?
224
00:11:52,812 --> 00:11:54,847
Correct.
225
00:11:54,847 --> 00:11:58,951
I get $15 an hour,
and I expect to be paid
at the conclusion of each day.
226
00:11:58,951 --> 00:12:01,954
And I'd really like
to do that,
but unfortunately, I can't.
227
00:12:01,954 --> 00:12:03,556
At the end of each week.
228
00:12:03,556 --> 00:12:06,692
At the end of the job.
I get paid when I turn in
the manuscript.
229
00:12:06,692 --> 00:12:09,228
What happens if
you don't finish
in 30 days?
230
00:12:09,228 --> 00:12:10,963
I'll finish in 30 days.
231
00:12:10,963 --> 00:12:13,899
But if you don't
finish in 30 days,
then what happens?
232
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,768
I get killed.
233
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:32,351
[Sighing]
234
00:12:32,351 --> 00:12:33,853
[Knocking at door]
235
00:12:35,855 --> 00:12:37,456
(Emma)
i forgot my scarf.
236
00:12:42,194 --> 00:12:43,763
I forgot my scarf.
237
00:12:45,798 --> 00:12:49,168
Mr. Sheldon,
i forgot my scarf.
238
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:18,297
What's your book about?
239
00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:21,200
It's the story of a man
who's frightened
of commitment,
240
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,070
yet so desperately
in love with a woman,
he's afraid it might kill him.
241
00:13:25,070 --> 00:13:26,472
It's a comedy.
242
00:13:27,206 --> 00:13:28,908
Does it kill him?
243
00:13:28,908 --> 00:13:30,442
You'll have to read the book.
244
00:13:33,846 --> 00:13:35,281
What are you doing?
245
00:13:35,281 --> 00:13:36,682
I want to see if he dies.
246
00:13:38,517 --> 00:13:40,719
You can't read the end first.
247
00:13:40,719 --> 00:13:42,388
Then tell me how it ends.
248
00:13:42,388 --> 00:13:43,989
You have to read the book.
249
00:13:43,989 --> 00:13:45,357
This is how I read books.
250
00:13:45,357 --> 00:13:47,860
If I like the ending
then I'll know
I'll like getting to it.
251
00:13:47,860 --> 00:13:51,330
If I don't like
the ending, then I know
not to waste my time.
252
00:13:51,330 --> 00:13:53,232
[Pages rustling]
253
00:13:58,971 --> 00:14:01,040
See? now I want
to read this.
254
00:14:02,641 --> 00:14:03,909
[Sighing]
255
00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:09,849
What's your new book about?
256
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:12,384
It's about the powerlessness
of being in love,
257
00:14:12,384 --> 00:14:16,188
and how it devours
the insides of a person
like a deadly virus.
258
00:14:16,188 --> 00:14:17,489
Another comedy?
259
00:14:17,489 --> 00:14:19,291
Yeah.
260
00:14:19,291 --> 00:14:22,127
Will you have another fit
if I ask you how it ends?
261
00:14:22,127 --> 00:14:24,196
I don't know how it ends.
262
00:14:24,196 --> 00:14:27,533
How can you write a story
if you don't know how it ends?
263
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:31,470
Because I know the characters,
and they tell me
where the story goes.
264
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:34,874
Interesting.
265
00:14:53,826 --> 00:14:55,094
You're going to do it?
266
00:14:55,361 --> 00:14:56,362
Yes.
267
00:14:57,129 --> 00:14:58,197
Great!
268
00:14:59,031 --> 00:14:59,698
Ok.
269
00:15:02,968 --> 00:15:03,936
(Alex)
ok.
270
00:15:03,936 --> 00:15:07,006
Read me back
what we've got so far.
271
00:15:07,006 --> 00:15:10,209
The summer of Adam shipley's
sabbatical from andover.
272
00:15:15,881 --> 00:15:17,983
Maybe if you add
a year, you know.
273
00:15:17,983 --> 00:15:21,387
The summer of
Adam shipley's sabbatical
from andover was in...
274
00:15:21,387 --> 00:15:24,390
And then any 4-digit number
gets you a complete sentence.
275
00:15:24,390 --> 00:15:26,625
Yeah, but not
a particularly good one.
276
00:15:27,126 --> 00:15:29,194
How about
277
00:15:29,194 --> 00:15:33,399
the summer of Adam shipley's
sabbatical from andover
was really hot?
278
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:35,901
What's that noise?
What noise?
279
00:15:35,901 --> 00:15:37,503
That high-pitched
ringing sound.
280
00:15:37,503 --> 00:15:41,040
Kind of like "eee."
281
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,808
I--i think I may be getting
a brain tumor
282
00:15:42,808 --> 00:15:45,277
because that's
one of the early signs.
283
00:15:45,277 --> 00:15:49,148
Ok. how about you shorten it?
284
00:15:49,148 --> 00:15:52,985
Adam shipley took
a sabbatical. Period.
285
00:15:52,985 --> 00:15:56,722
No, no, see, look.
You want the first sentence
to set the tone,
286
00:15:56,722 --> 00:15:59,124
to grab the reader
and take him into the story.
287
00:15:59,124 --> 00:16:01,160
"Call me ishmael."
Right?
288
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,862
"It was the best of times,
it was the worst of times."
289
00:16:03,862 --> 00:16:06,732
"In the beginning
god created the heavens
and the earth."
290
00:16:06,732 --> 00:16:08,701
Do you see
why I can't begin?
291
00:16:08,701 --> 00:16:10,736
The giants that have gone
before me.
292
00:16:12,504 --> 00:16:14,573
Does it seem foggy in here?
293
00:16:14,573 --> 00:16:17,443
There's this haze that...
294
00:16:17,443 --> 00:16:20,612
I--i--i think the tumor
could be spreading
in my occipital lobe.
295
00:16:20,612 --> 00:16:21,847
I have to go.
296
00:16:21,847 --> 00:16:23,215
It's only 7:00.
297
00:16:23,215 --> 00:16:26,118
I know. These last 5 hours
have just flown by.
298
00:16:26,118 --> 00:16:27,653
Will you be back
tomorrow morning?
299
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:29,355
I can't see why.
300
00:16:29,355 --> 00:16:31,056
What do you mean?
301
00:16:31,056 --> 00:16:32,491
Very well.
302
00:16:32,491 --> 00:16:34,159
Here's what
I've been figuring.
303
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:35,828
You've got exactly
304
00:16:36,362 --> 00:16:38,297
8 words so far?
305
00:16:38,297 --> 00:16:40,599
Since a typed page
is 350 words,
306
00:16:40,599 --> 00:16:43,335
that's roughly 6 weeks
per page.
307
00:16:43,335 --> 00:16:46,572
With one week
off for Christmas,
2 weeks summer vacation,
308
00:16:46,572 --> 00:16:49,441
300 pages would take
approximately 37 years
309
00:16:49,441 --> 00:16:51,377
which, quite frankly,
is a little more
310
00:16:51,377 --> 00:16:54,246
than I'm willing to allocate
to this project.
311
00:16:54,246 --> 00:16:57,249
Uh, miss dinsmore,
i think you're
underestimating the process.
312
00:16:57,249 --> 00:16:59,218
I mean, this isn't
a comic book,
it's a novel.
313
00:16:59,218 --> 00:17:01,754
There's character development.
Symbolism. Subtext.
314
00:17:01,754 --> 00:17:05,357
Which do you prefer,
Mr. Sheldon, the pepper spray
or the stun gun?
315
00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:09,895
Adam shipley
had given up on love.
316
00:17:09,895 --> 00:17:12,097
Art was to be his mistress.
317
00:17:12,097 --> 00:17:15,501
And so it was
that in the summer of 1924...
318
00:17:15,501 --> 00:17:18,370
We're rolling.
We just got started.
319
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:19,838
Ok?
320
00:17:25,110 --> 00:17:27,279
Adam shipley
had given up on love.
321
00:17:27,279 --> 00:17:29,415
Art was to be his mistress.
322
00:17:29,415 --> 00:17:32,551
And so it was
that in the summer of 1924,
323
00:17:32,551 --> 00:17:34,820
he took a sabbatical
from andover to write,
324
00:17:34,820 --> 00:17:37,056
if not
the great American novel,
325
00:17:37,056 --> 00:17:40,426
then certainly one
that would make the world
sit up and take notice.
326
00:17:40,426 --> 00:17:42,661
To support himself
while he worked,
327
00:17:42,661 --> 00:17:45,464
he accepted a position
as an english tutor
328
00:17:45,464 --> 00:17:48,400
for a French family
vacationing on
the island of...
329
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,472
Saint Charles.
330
00:17:53,472 --> 00:17:55,808
Never heard of an island
called Saint Charles.
331
00:17:55,808 --> 00:17:59,378
It's off the coast of Maine,
northeast of nantucket.
Beautiful.
332
00:17:59,378 --> 00:18:00,779
Still never heard of it.
333
00:18:00,779 --> 00:18:02,247
I made it up.
334
00:18:02,247 --> 00:18:03,982
You got a 2nd paragraph?
335
00:18:03,982 --> 00:18:06,552
A what?
336
00:18:06,552 --> 00:18:09,955
If it's going to be 300 pages
you're going to need more
than one paragraph.
337
00:18:10,656 --> 00:18:12,357
Oh, that ringing sound.
338
00:18:12,357 --> 00:18:13,959
I have to go.
339
00:18:13,959 --> 00:18:16,328
Uh, Adam boarded
a train in Boston,
340
00:18:16,328 --> 00:18:18,530
headed for the ferry
at Saint Charles.
341
00:18:18,530 --> 00:18:19,932
And then?
342
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:24,103
Saint Charles
was an exclusive island,
known for palatial mansions,
343
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:27,539
manicured lawns,
and an exquisite
gambling casino.
344
00:18:27,539 --> 00:18:30,209
There was also
an especially large
French contingent
345
00:18:30,209 --> 00:18:33,312
who had claimed the island
after it was discovered by
346
00:18:33,312 --> 00:18:35,781
Jacques cartier in
the 16th century.
347
00:18:35,781 --> 00:18:36,849
Wait a minute.
348
00:18:36,849 --> 00:18:38,250
What, I'm going too fast?
349
00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:41,053
I thought you said
you made up the island.
350
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:42,421
I--i did.
351
00:18:42,421 --> 00:18:44,590
But you just said
it was discovered
by Jacques cartier
352
00:18:44,590 --> 00:18:45,991
in the 16th century.
353
00:18:48,026 --> 00:18:49,528
Yeah?
354
00:18:49,528 --> 00:18:51,330
Jacques cartier
was a real guy.
355
00:18:51,330 --> 00:18:54,199
You can't have a real guy
discover a fake place.
356
00:18:54,199 --> 00:18:55,934
I can't?
357
00:18:55,934 --> 00:18:58,003
No. it's a perversion
of history.
358
00:18:58,003 --> 00:19:01,707
If you have a fake place,
you have to have
a fake explorer.
359
00:19:01,707 --> 00:19:04,109
Now, if you have
a real place, then you--
360
00:19:04,109 --> 00:19:06,111
miss dinsmore.
Miss dinsmore.
361
00:19:06,111 --> 00:19:07,479
[Chuckling]
362
00:19:09,882 --> 00:19:14,353
I mean, I'm laughing,
but I'm not laughing.
363
00:19:14,353 --> 00:19:18,056
If you could type
and I could write,
that would be really terrific.
364
00:19:18,056 --> 00:19:19,725
[Sighing]
365
00:19:19,725 --> 00:19:22,628
I thought that's
what we were doing.
366
00:19:22,628 --> 00:19:26,899
Adam found himself seated
next to a man named John Shaw.
367
00:19:26,899 --> 00:19:28,600
(Alex)
a man who had
the uncanny ability
368
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,170
to make a 2-hour train ride
seem like 10.
369
00:19:32,404 --> 00:19:35,807
I've been summering
in Saint Charles
since I was a boy.
370
00:19:35,807 --> 00:19:39,311
It would be my 2nd home
if I didn't own 3 others.
371
00:19:39,311 --> 00:19:41,980
(Alex)
Shaw was a short,
round man in his 50s.
372
00:19:41,980 --> 00:19:44,316
And the word "second"
was said with a whistle
373
00:19:44,316 --> 00:19:48,587
as his breath escaped
between the space which
separated his 2 front teeth.
374
00:19:48,587 --> 00:19:50,389
(Emma)
i hate it when they do that.
375
00:19:50,389 --> 00:19:52,057
Who? what?
376
00:19:52,057 --> 00:19:54,193
You. authors.
377
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:57,462
You use a name like
John Shaw, and I picture
in my mind, thin,
378
00:19:57,462 --> 00:19:59,364
with a stylish mustache.
379
00:19:59,364 --> 00:20:01,433
And when you finally
get around to describing him,
380
00:20:01,433 --> 00:20:04,069
he's this fat old fart
with a hole in his teeth.
381
00:20:04,069 --> 00:20:06,838
You remember the part
about you type and I write?
382
00:20:06,838 --> 00:20:09,975
We really have to adhere
to that, miss dinsmore.
383
00:20:09,975 --> 00:20:12,044
You're the author.
You're god.
384
00:20:13,111 --> 00:20:15,714
You can create
whatever comes
into your head.
385
00:20:15,714 --> 00:20:17,849
Characters we like
or characters who make us
386
00:20:17,849 --> 00:20:20,352
want to shut the book
and never open it again.
387
00:20:22,087 --> 00:20:25,557
Shaw was a slight man
with a thick blond--
388
00:20:25,557 --> 00:20:26,725
(Emma)
thin black.
389
00:20:26,725 --> 00:20:28,660
(Alex)
thin, black moustache.
390
00:20:28,660 --> 00:20:30,729
So, who's this family
you're to tutor?
391
00:20:30,729 --> 00:20:33,665
Saint Charles
is a small island.
I'm sure I know them.
392
00:20:33,665 --> 00:20:36,501
They're from Paris.
A divorcee and her 2 children,
393
00:20:36,501 --> 00:20:40,005
an 8-year-old boy, Andre,
and a 6-year-old girl,
Michele.
394
00:20:40,005 --> 00:20:42,107
The mother's name is--
polina delacroix?
395
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:44,910
Why, yes.
396
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:48,213
Would you care
to join me for some tea
in the dining car?
397
00:20:48,213 --> 00:20:49,414
All right.
398
00:20:49,414 --> 00:20:51,283
[Train whistle blowing]
399
00:20:53,652 --> 00:20:57,689
Madadelacroix
seemed very charming
in her correspondence.
400
00:20:57,689 --> 00:21:01,226
Oh, she is. And quite
the little trooper, too,
401
00:21:01,226 --> 00:21:04,463
putting on such a brave face
under the circumstances.
402
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:06,832
The circumstances?
403
00:21:06,832 --> 00:21:10,602
The family is in
desperate financial straits.
404
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:13,572
If it weren't for
a wealthy grandmother
in Paris who's dying,
405
00:21:13,572 --> 00:21:15,474
they'd have no hope at all.
406
00:21:15,474 --> 00:21:16,708
Are you absolutely certain?
407
00:21:16,708 --> 00:21:18,977
Because from their
correspondence they
seemed like--
408
00:21:18,977 --> 00:21:22,180
it's a facade.
It's all a facade.
409
00:21:22,180 --> 00:21:24,983
But don't worry,
she has enough to pay you.
410
00:21:24,983 --> 00:21:27,085
How can you be so sure?
411
00:21:27,085 --> 00:21:28,987
Because I am returning
just now
412
00:21:28,987 --> 00:21:31,323
with a bank draft from
my personal account
413
00:21:31,323 --> 00:21:33,358
which will provide
polina with enough
414
00:21:33,358 --> 00:21:35,661
to cover her expenses
through the summer.
415
00:21:35,661 --> 00:21:37,296
She asked you for a loan?
416
00:21:37,296 --> 00:21:40,365
Well, we're calling it a loan,
but it really doesn't matter.
417
00:21:40,365 --> 00:21:44,036
I intend to ask her
to marry me by summer's end.
418
00:21:44,036 --> 00:21:45,671
(Emma)
now, why did you do that?
419
00:21:45,671 --> 00:21:47,706
What?
why did I do what?
420
00:21:47,706 --> 00:21:49,608
Don't you think
it's kind of coincidental
421
00:21:49,608 --> 00:21:53,445
that Adam just happens
to plop down
next to his employer's fiance?
422
00:21:53,445 --> 00:21:55,213
Well, if it makes
you feel any better,
423
00:21:55,213 --> 00:21:58,183
I didn't know
Shaw was the fiance
when Adam plopped.
424
00:21:58,183 --> 00:22:01,353
What do you mean
you didn't know?
How could you not know?
425
00:22:01,353 --> 00:22:02,454
[Sighing]
426
00:22:02,454 --> 00:22:03,488
Ok.
427
00:22:06,825 --> 00:22:08,760
I wanted Adam
to learn from Shaw
428
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,229
that the delacroix family
was almost broke
429
00:22:11,229 --> 00:22:14,166
and desperately waiting
for the grandmother to die.
430
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:16,902
Then I realized,
as soon as Adam heard this,
431
00:22:16,902 --> 00:22:18,870
he'd be worried
about his wages.
432
00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:21,940
This was a problem
i hadn't anticipated
till I got there.
433
00:22:21,940 --> 00:22:23,675
Then I had the idea...
434
00:22:23,675 --> 00:22:26,044
What if Shaw agreed
to loan polina the money
435
00:22:26,044 --> 00:22:28,313
to cover her expenses?
436
00:22:28,313 --> 00:22:31,149
But why would he do that?
Perhaps he's in love with her.
437
00:22:31,149 --> 00:22:32,617
Shall we continue?
438
00:22:34,052 --> 00:22:37,422
You started having
absolutely no idea
what was going to happen,
439
00:22:37,422 --> 00:22:40,192
and then, by pure luck,
it just worked out?
440
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:42,527
Well, i--i--i like to think
it's more than luck,
441
00:22:42,527 --> 00:22:43,962
but every writer does depend
442
00:22:43,962 --> 00:22:46,832
on the muses smiling down
on him occasionally.
443
00:22:46,832 --> 00:22:48,867
And if the muses don't smile?
444
00:22:48,867 --> 00:22:51,436
My head starts ringing
and my eyes fog over.
445
00:22:52,104 --> 00:22:53,739
So, is there smiling now
446
00:22:53,739 --> 00:22:56,541
or are we heading
back into the fog
with the ringing sounds?
447
00:22:56,541 --> 00:22:57,576
There's smiling.
448
00:22:57,576 --> 00:22:58,443
Good.
449
00:22:59,544 --> 00:23:01,012
What happens next?
450
00:23:01,012 --> 00:23:02,381
Adam falls in love.
451
00:23:03,482 --> 00:23:04,616
With whom?
452
00:23:07,753 --> 00:23:09,421
(Alex)
there's no accounting for love
453
00:23:09,421 --> 00:23:12,524
or why one look,
one casual touch,
454
00:23:12,524 --> 00:23:14,559
one breath of perfumed air
455
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:18,196
can ignite feelings so strong,
it's almost painful.
456
00:23:19,364 --> 00:23:21,833
(Emma)
mmm, he seems awfully shallow.
457
00:23:21,833 --> 00:23:24,002
What are you talking about?
458
00:23:24,002 --> 00:23:26,338
He just looks at her
and he's in love?
459
00:23:26,338 --> 00:23:28,974
So, you've never heard
of love at first sight?
460
00:23:29,908 --> 00:23:31,676
Right. that must be it.
461
00:23:33,178 --> 00:23:35,614

It's a great pleasure
to meet you, Mr. shipley.

to be meeting you,

Very pleased
to be meeting you, too.

the others.

Well, let's be off.

Mr. shipley's belongings?

Oh, that's ok. I can fetch.
I don't mind fetching.
I love to fetch.

don't be silly,

It's very funny.

00:24:45,083 --> 00:24:46,284
Thank you.
490
00:24:47,385 --> 00:24:49,120
He's like a fool.

What? no.
492
00:24:51,857 --> 00:24:54,159
He's smitten.
He's blinded by love.
493
00:24:55,694 --> 00:24:56,761
Oh, right.
494
00:24:58,530 --> 00:25:01,766
Because I didn't see
the attraction at first.
495
00:25:01,766 --> 00:25:04,269
But then when she said
those intoxicating words:
496
00:25:04,269 --> 00:25:07,706
"Claude, could you
fetch his belongings,"
who could resist that?
497
00:25:10,609 --> 00:25:12,210
All right. Good.

we call it a day?

00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,015
Ok.
500
00:25:17,015 --> 00:25:20,151
Good, because I have to type
all this stuff up tonight.
501
00:25:20,151 --> 00:25:21,720
How many pages we got?

00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,154
I'd say about 8.

That's not bad.

awkward beginning.

Saint Charles
seemed almost unreal,
514
00:25:53,852 --> 00:25:56,655
like a magical playground
for the well-to-do.
515
00:25:56,655 --> 00:26:00,825
Something besides
the affluence and beauty
of Saint Charles
516
00:26:00,825 --> 00:26:04,029
which filled Adam's brain
until he could barely breathe.

00:26:04,029 --> 00:26:05,764
It was polina's perfume
518
00:26:05,764 --> 00:26:08,767
and the application thereof
upon her ample bosom.
519
00:26:08,767 --> 00:26:10,268
(Emma)
oh, please!
520
00:26:10,268 --> 00:26:11,303
(Alex)
what?
521
00:26:11,303 --> 00:26:13,271
"Ample bosom"?
522
00:26:13,271 --> 00:26:15,774
What's wrong with that?
It's literary.
523
00:26:15,774 --> 00:26:17,108
Oh, well,
524
00:26:17,108 --> 00:26:19,277
in that case,
you forgot the heaving.
525
00:26:19,277 --> 00:26:20,412
The what?
526
00:26:20,412 --> 00:26:21,680
In every book
I've ever read,
527
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,883
whenever there's
an ample bosom
there's always heaving.
528
00:26:24,883 --> 00:26:26,952
Do we have to talk
about this right now?
529
00:26:26,952 --> 00:26:28,753
You're the one
who introduced the bosoms.
530
00:26:28,753 --> 00:26:31,323
I'm simply asking
if you'd like them to heave.
531
00:26:31,323 --> 00:26:33,091
Fine, let them heave.
532
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:37,395
(Alex)
though he had
always considered himself
533
00:26:37,395 --> 00:26:40,966
a member in good standing
of that great army
of destitute artists,
534
00:26:40,966 --> 00:26:43,568
upon arriving
at the delacroix estate,
535
00:26:43,568 --> 00:26:46,605
Adam began to consider
that he may have been
a bit hasty
536
00:26:46,605 --> 00:26:49,374
in condemning the acquisition
of large sums of money.
537
00:26:49,374 --> 00:26:53,044
Mr. shipley,
ylva will help you get settled
in the guest cottage.
538
00:26:53,044 --> 00:26:55,547
(Emma)
ylva? what kind of name
is ylva?
539
00:26:55,547 --> 00:26:56,982
(Alex)
it's Swedish.
540
00:26:56,982 --> 00:27:00,385
That's not a real name.
Who made that one up?
Jacques cartier?
541
00:27:01,987 --> 00:27:04,189
It's her name, ok?
542
00:27:04,189 --> 00:27:05,624
Ok, how do you spell it?
543
00:27:05,624 --> 00:27:06,925
Just like it sounds.
544
00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:08,760
I-l-v-a.
545
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,895
No, it's y-l-v-a.
546
00:27:11,963 --> 00:27:14,332
Y-l-v-a?
that's not how it sounds.
547
00:27:14,332 --> 00:27:16,468
Well, that's how
she spells it!
548
00:27:16,468 --> 00:27:19,204
Ok, you want y-l-v-a,
it's y-l-v-a.
549
00:27:19,204 --> 00:27:20,438
Good.
550
00:27:20,438 --> 00:27:22,374
Fine.
551
00:27:22,374 --> 00:27:25,210
Just so you know,
it's not how it sounds.
552
00:27:25,210 --> 00:27:28,747
(Alex)
she's this
pain-in-the-ass au pair.
553
00:27:28,747 --> 00:27:30,815
[Swedish accent]
Well, here we are.
554
00:27:34,386 --> 00:27:35,553
Thanks, uh...
555
00:27:35,987 --> 00:27:37,589
Ylva.
556
00:27:37,589 --> 00:27:40,992
Ylva, now that's
a beautiful name.
How do you spell that?
557
00:27:41,459 --> 00:27:44,029
Y-l-v-a.
558
00:27:44,029 --> 00:27:45,030
Uh-huh.
559
00:27:45,030 --> 00:27:47,065
Just like it sounds.
560
00:27:47,065 --> 00:27:48,133
(Emma)
very funny.
561
00:27:48,133 --> 00:27:50,301
(Alex)
what? I take from life.
562
00:27:50,301 --> 00:27:52,370
I am to unpack for you.
563
00:27:52,370 --> 00:27:55,206
Madatold me
to unpack for you.
564
00:27:55,206 --> 00:27:57,042
All right.
565
00:27:59,978 --> 00:28:01,046
So, uh,
566
00:28:02,881 --> 00:28:04,683
she seems very nice, madame.
567
00:28:07,118 --> 00:28:10,021
Has she been keeping company
with Mr. Shaw very long?
568
00:28:10,789 --> 00:28:12,757
She does not love him.
569
00:28:13,425 --> 00:28:14,459
Really?
570
00:28:14,459 --> 00:28:16,961
But she will marry him.
571
00:28:16,961 --> 00:28:17,962
Why?
572
00:28:19,631 --> 00:28:23,435
She is desperate
for the money.
573
00:28:23,435 --> 00:28:25,070
I thought she was
supposed to receive
574
00:28:25,070 --> 00:28:27,338
a large inheritance
from her grandmother.
575
00:28:27,338 --> 00:28:31,643
Yeah, but grandmother,
she takes a very long time
to die.
576
00:28:33,178 --> 00:28:36,081
So if polina had money,
577
00:28:36,081 --> 00:28:38,650
she wouldn't
have to marry Shaw.
578
00:28:38,650 --> 00:28:41,786
I see what you're doing.
You've got the triangle.
579
00:28:41,786 --> 00:28:44,789
We already know Adam and Shaw
both like polina.
580
00:28:44,789 --> 00:28:47,592
Now we find out
they both have obstacles.
581
00:28:47,592 --> 00:28:49,094
Yeah. it's called a plot.
582
00:28:51,496 --> 00:28:55,200
And the reason
you're being sarcastic
with me is?
583
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,836
Because if I don't finish
this book in 28 days,
584
00:28:57,836 --> 00:29:00,105
2 very large Cuban gentlemen
are going to see to it
585
00:29:00,105 --> 00:29:02,240
that I'm not around
to enjoy a 29th.
586
00:29:03,875 --> 00:29:05,677
Fine.
587
00:29:05,677 --> 00:29:08,947
Except for the typing,
I'm not here.
588
00:29:08,947 --> 00:29:12,717
Why do I think
that will never be
altogether true?
589
00:29:12,717 --> 00:29:14,419
(Alex)
as Adam settled
into his routine
590
00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:16,054
at the delacroix estate,
591
00:29:16,054 --> 00:29:17,989
he knew he had a job to do.
592
00:29:17,989 --> 00:29:21,826
Teach those children english
like they'd never
been taught before.
593
00:29:21,826 --> 00:29:24,829
Focus. focus.
He had to focus.
594
00:29:24,829 --> 00:29:25,930
[Groaning]
595
00:29:25,930 --> 00:29:27,799
Ah, who was he kidding?
596
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:31,336
There'd be no focusing
with polina on the premises.
597
00:29:31,336 --> 00:29:33,838
On Tuesday, he caught
a glimpse of her ankle
598
00:29:33,838 --> 00:29:36,875
and was forced
back to his room
for prayer and reflection.
599
00:29:37,742 --> 00:29:40,211
Adam wondered:
Was it possible?
600
00:29:40,211 --> 00:29:43,014
Could a woman like polina
actually be interested
601
00:29:43,014 --> 00:29:45,383
in an ordinary man
like himself?
602
00:29:45,383 --> 00:29:49,921
This wasn't India.
There was no
caste system here.
603
00:29:49,921 --> 00:29:53,525
This was America,
where everybody
had a shot with everybody.
604
00:29:54,592 --> 00:29:56,294
There was no denying it.
605
00:29:56,294 --> 00:30:00,198
Her feelings for Adam
were as real
as the egg salad in his lap.
606
00:30:01,399 --> 00:30:03,902
It was another glorious day
in Saint Charles
607
00:30:03,902 --> 00:30:06,070
as Adam chased
Andre and Michele
608
00:30:06,070 --> 00:30:09,007
who giggled as they
conjugated the verb
"to run."
609
00:30:09,307 --> 00:30:10,408
I run.
610
00:30:10,408 --> 00:30:12,010
(Andre)
you run! He run!
611
00:30:12,010 --> 00:30:14,879
No, "run." We run. You run.
612
00:30:14,879 --> 00:30:16,114
They run.
613
00:30:17,182 --> 00:30:20,385
[Speaking French]
614
00:30:20,385 --> 00:30:22,987
No, you do not run.
You go wash your hands.
615
00:30:23,454 --> 00:30:25,056
Ah, Elsa.
616
00:30:25,056 --> 00:30:27,692
I have finished
mit der strudel.
617
00:30:27,692 --> 00:30:29,861
(Emma)
wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Who's she?
618
00:30:29,861 --> 00:30:31,830
Elsa, the au pair.
619
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:34,098
I thought ylva
was the au pair.
620
00:30:34,098 --> 00:30:36,634
Yeah, I didn't have
a real fix on the character.
621
00:30:36,634 --> 00:30:39,470
The Swedish
wasn't working for me.
She needs more edge.
622
00:30:39,470 --> 00:30:41,306
Swedes have no edge?
623
00:30:41,306 --> 00:30:44,776
No. it's common knowledge.
They got that light blue flag.
624
00:30:44,776 --> 00:30:46,845
It's better if she's German.
625
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:49,514
Of course,
because all Germans
have edge.
626
00:30:49,514 --> 00:30:51,149
No, not all.
627
00:30:51,149 --> 00:30:52,984
But some, certainly.
628
00:30:53,952 --> 00:30:55,920
I mean, Hitler
Springs to mind.
629
00:30:56,588 --> 00:30:58,156
Fine, she's German.
630
00:30:58,156 --> 00:30:59,390
(Polina)
thank you, Elsa.
631
00:30:59,390 --> 00:31:01,659
Would you be so kind
as to take the children?
632
00:31:01,659 --> 00:31:03,061
I must speak
with Mr. shipley.
633
00:31:03,061 --> 00:31:04,462
Yes, of course.
634
00:31:04,462 --> 00:31:07,298
Let's go! Wash hands.
On to the house!
635
00:31:08,666 --> 00:31:12,036
Our family is
in something
of a crisis, Mr. shipley.
636
00:31:12,036 --> 00:31:13,605
Yes, I've heard.
637
00:31:14,305 --> 00:31:15,273
Oh, Adam,
638
00:31:16,307 --> 00:31:19,310
what a disaster
it all is.
639
00:31:19,310 --> 00:31:22,146
(Alex)
hearing his name from
her lips for the first time
640
00:31:22,146 --> 00:31:24,349
was almost more
than he could bear.
641
00:31:24,349 --> 00:31:28,286
Children shouldn't have to
deal with burdens like this.
642
00:31:28,286 --> 00:31:31,055
I'll do my best
to see that they're
protected.
643
00:31:31,055 --> 00:31:32,957
I want to see
them happy.
644
00:31:32,957 --> 00:31:34,959
I'll make sure
they're happy.
645
00:31:34,959 --> 00:31:37,228
All I want is a simple life,
646
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:39,030
and a man to share it with.
647
00:31:40,431 --> 00:31:42,934
A man who will
truly love me for me.
648
00:31:44,769 --> 00:31:47,272
Is that too much to ask?
649
00:31:47,272 --> 00:31:49,841
I think that's
very reasonable.
650
00:31:53,278 --> 00:31:55,113
Would you kill for me?
651
00:31:55,780 --> 00:31:57,348
I beg your pardon?
652
00:31:57,348 --> 00:31:59,083
Would you kill Shaw for me?
653
00:32:01,152 --> 00:32:02,687
You want me to
654
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:05,056
[laughs]
655
00:32:05,056 --> 00:32:06,424
Kill Shaw?
656
00:32:07,191 --> 00:32:09,193
I owe him so much money.
657
00:32:09,193 --> 00:32:12,530
And if he lives,
i will have to marry him.
658
00:32:14,999 --> 00:32:16,367
Yes.
659
00:32:16,367 --> 00:32:18,069
Well, I'd kill him
in a second,
660
00:32:18,069 --> 00:32:19,570
you understand.
661
00:32:20,204 --> 00:32:22,006
It's just that, uh,
662
00:32:24,642 --> 00:32:26,177
when you're a tutor,
663
00:32:26,177 --> 00:32:29,714
and people see the word
"murderer" on your resume,
664
00:32:29,714 --> 00:32:33,051
sometimes they
have a tough time
getting past that.
665
00:32:33,051 --> 00:32:33,885
[Laughing]
666
00:32:37,355 --> 00:32:39,223
I'm teasing, of course.
667
00:32:40,591 --> 00:32:42,660
(Alex)
it was at this moment
that Adam realized
668
00:32:42,660 --> 00:32:44,362
that all that
stood between him
669
00:32:44,362 --> 00:32:46,230
and the perfection
of polina's arms,
670
00:32:46,230 --> 00:32:48,599
was inexhaustible wealth.
671
00:32:48,599 --> 00:32:50,969
What is it with
guys like Adam?
672
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:52,337
What do you mean?
673
00:32:52,337 --> 00:32:55,807
Do they really like
being driven crazy
by women like polina?
674
00:32:55,807 --> 00:32:58,242
They're like lemmings
running into the sea.
675
00:32:58,242 --> 00:33:00,745
They can't wait
to be drowning
in their own misery.
676
00:33:00,745 --> 00:33:02,380
If they're not in agony,
677
00:33:02,380 --> 00:33:04,515
then it can't be love!
678
00:33:04,515 --> 00:33:06,718
Why do men want
women like that?
679
00:33:06,718 --> 00:33:09,754
Maybe you're not
picturing polina
the way I'm picturing her.
680
00:33:09,754 --> 00:33:10,755
What?
681
00:33:10,755 --> 00:33:13,458
Gorgeous, exciting,
incredibly sexy?
682
00:33:13,458 --> 00:33:14,692
[Toilet flushing]
683
00:33:14,692 --> 00:33:16,094
Maybe you are.
684
00:33:16,094 --> 00:33:17,795
Yeah, that's great
for a weekend,
685
00:33:17,795 --> 00:33:19,897
but what do you think
will happen
in the long run?
686
00:33:19,897 --> 00:33:21,733
What do you mean,
like the next weekend?
687
00:33:21,733 --> 00:33:25,036
No. like when it's time
for the first laundry.
688
00:33:26,170 --> 00:33:27,772
I know. I know.
689
00:33:27,772 --> 00:33:30,508
In great romantic novels,
there's no laundry.
690
00:33:30,508 --> 00:33:33,244
There's people like
ylva or Elsa to do it.
691
00:33:35,179 --> 00:33:37,715
Maybe that's why
i like them.
692
00:33:37,715 --> 00:33:39,951
They can wash
their own clothes.
693
00:33:40,618 --> 00:33:41,786
[Sighs]
694
00:33:44,022 --> 00:33:46,124
Ok, where were we?
695
00:33:46,124 --> 00:33:48,292
(Emma)
oh, yes. Adam needs a fortune
696
00:33:48,292 --> 00:33:50,862
so he can live happily
ever after with his true love.
697
00:33:53,031 --> 00:33:54,399
(Elsa)
who is it?
698
00:33:54,399 --> 00:33:56,100
Elsa, it's me, Adam.
699
00:33:56,100 --> 00:33:58,870
Oh, Mr. shipley,
I'll be right there.
700
00:34:01,472 --> 00:34:04,409
Oh, I'm sorry.
Am I inconveniencing you?
701
00:34:04,409 --> 00:34:06,644
No, I was just washing
mein hair.
702
00:34:08,846 --> 00:34:10,048
Come in.
703
00:34:12,717 --> 00:34:14,018
Won't you sit down?
704
00:34:14,018 --> 00:34:15,286
I can't stay long.
705
00:34:15,286 --> 00:34:16,354
Sit down!
706
00:34:16,354 --> 00:34:17,655
All right.
707
00:34:19,590 --> 00:34:20,992
I'll make you tea.
708
00:34:20,992 --> 00:34:22,393
(Emma)
oh, this is good.
709
00:34:22,393 --> 00:34:27,065
You're creating
another triangle:
Polina, Adam, Elsa.
710
00:34:27,065 --> 00:34:29,100
No, she's just someone
he can talk to.
711
00:34:29,100 --> 00:34:30,535
He feels comfortable
with her.
712
00:34:30,535 --> 00:34:32,737
You know,
now that she's German.
713
00:34:32,737 --> 00:34:35,139
I hear there's
a casino on the island.
714
00:34:35,606 --> 00:34:37,508
Yeah?
715
00:34:37,508 --> 00:34:40,645
The general goes there often
with madame blanche.
716
00:34:40,645 --> 00:34:42,413
Where is this casino?
717
00:34:42,413 --> 00:34:45,149
Right off the boardwalk,
next to the regency.
718
00:34:46,751 --> 00:34:48,886
But, Mr. shipley,
you're not thinking--
719
00:34:48,886 --> 00:34:51,155
Elsa, do you believe
in destiny?
720
00:34:51,889 --> 00:34:53,825
Destiny?
721
00:34:53,825 --> 00:34:56,861
That a man and a woman
are meant to be together?
722
00:34:59,063 --> 00:35:00,231
Yeah.
723
00:35:01,432 --> 00:35:04,302
But only if they
are both ready.
724
00:35:04,302 --> 00:35:07,438
With love,
one must be patient.
725
00:35:07,438 --> 00:35:10,141
You must not eat the fruit
until it is ripe.
726
00:35:10,141 --> 00:35:13,111
The baby must crawl
before he can walk.
727
00:35:13,111 --> 00:35:15,746
The farmer must sow
before he can reap.
728
00:35:15,746 --> 00:35:17,682
The butcher must
kill before he can--
729
00:35:17,682 --> 00:35:20,785
Elsa, you struck oil.
Stop drilling.
730
00:35:21,619 --> 00:35:23,855
I'm talking about
fate here.
731
00:35:23,855 --> 00:35:27,792
When feelings are so powerful,
it's as if some force
beyond your control
732
00:35:27,792 --> 00:35:30,561
is guiding you to someone
who can make you happy
733
00:35:30,561 --> 00:35:32,730
beyond your wildest dreams.
734
00:35:32,730 --> 00:35:34,832
I never thought I could
experience feelings
735
00:35:34,832 --> 00:35:36,801
such as these,
until now.
736
00:35:36,801 --> 00:35:39,937
I thought they only existed
in story books.
737
00:35:39,937 --> 00:35:41,772
But now I know
it can be real.
738
00:35:42,406 --> 00:35:43,508
It can?
739
00:35:43,508 --> 00:35:45,510
Yes, Elsa. Yes.
740
00:35:46,377 --> 00:35:48,179
Oh, Adam.
741
00:35:48,179 --> 00:35:51,449
And once I have money,
my destiny,
742
00:35:51,449 --> 00:35:53,851
polina shall be mine.
743
00:35:55,219 --> 00:35:56,187
(Adam)
oh!
744
00:35:56,187 --> 00:35:57,221
Oh!
745
00:35:58,723 --> 00:35:59,857
I am so sorry!
746
00:35:59,857 --> 00:36:01,392
Maybe if you blow on it!
747
00:36:04,595 --> 00:36:06,664
Will you ever forgive me?
748
00:36:06,664 --> 00:36:08,633
(Emma)
why should she ask
for forgiveness?
749
00:36:08,633 --> 00:36:12,103
Are you kidding?
She poured scalding
hot water on his crotch.
750
00:36:12,103 --> 00:36:15,306
He led her on.
He made her think
that he wanted her.
751
00:36:15,306 --> 00:36:16,607
She misinterpreted.
752
00:36:16,607 --> 00:36:18,409
No, I don't think so.
753
00:36:18,409 --> 00:36:21,345
And don't tell me that
Elsa winds up getting hurt,
754
00:36:21,345 --> 00:36:23,080
because that
would be so unfair.
755
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,282
I don't know.
756
00:36:24,282 --> 00:36:26,584
Can't always control
what happens to characters.
757
00:36:26,584 --> 00:36:29,353
Sometimes they take you
to unexpected places.
758
00:36:29,353 --> 00:36:32,023
People get hurt in books.
People get hurt in real life.
759
00:36:33,558 --> 00:36:36,928
Adam left a disappointed,
but resilient Elsa, like a...
760
00:36:39,430 --> 00:36:43,601
Adam left a disappointed,
but resilient Elsa,
like a man on a mission.
761
00:36:43,601 --> 00:36:46,237
A man on a mission
with hot, wet balls.
762
00:36:46,671 --> 00:36:48,105
Alex...
763
00:36:48,105 --> 00:36:50,241
Ok, lose the balls.
764
00:36:51,475 --> 00:36:53,344
(Alex)
Adam entered the edifice
765
00:36:53,344 --> 00:36:55,613
that he hoped
would transform his life.
766
00:36:55,613 --> 00:36:58,482
$200 was all he had
to his name.
767
00:36:58,482 --> 00:37:00,618
It was enough to get him
through the summer
768
00:37:00,618 --> 00:37:04,155
but certainly not enough
to win a woman like polina.
769

ladies and gentlemen.
770

the atmosphere
was intoxicating.
771
00:37:11,128 --> 00:37:13,531
There was more money
than he had ever
seen in his life.

(Alex)
his heart beat like a drum.
780
00:37:32,350 --> 00:37:35,086
He understood instantly
that this wasn't just a game
781
00:37:35,086 --> 00:37:36,654
he would play
for his amusement.
782
00:37:36,654 --> 00:37:39,223
It meant a lifetime
of love with polina.
783
00:37:39,223 --> 00:37:42,393
Every roll, every bounce
of that little ivory ball
784
00:37:42,393 --> 00:37:45,429
would bring him
one step closer to paradise.
785
00:37:45,429 --> 00:37:47,665
(Croupier)
zero! zero!
786
00:37:47,665 --> 00:37:48,833
Zero? that's green.
787
00:37:48,833 --> 00:37:50,935
I thought there was only
red and black.
There's green?
788
00:37:50,935 --> 00:37:52,003
Oui, monsieur.
789
00:37:52,003 --> 00:37:53,537
So what is that,
like a do-over?
790
00:37:53,537 --> 00:37:55,106
No, monsieur,
you lost.
791
00:37:55,106 --> 00:37:56,207
I lost?
792
00:37:56,207 --> 00:37:57,141
You lost.
793
00:37:57,775 --> 00:38:02,647
Adam would have
to find another route
to polina's heart.
794
00:38:02,647 --> 00:38:05,349
And what is so wrong
with poverty?
795
00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:07,852
Ah! the voice
of the common man.
796
00:38:07,852 --> 00:38:08,886
No, really.
797
00:38:08,886 --> 00:38:10,821
The--the proletariat
are not as miserable
798
00:38:10,821 --> 00:38:12,323
as they're
made out to be.
799
00:38:12,323 --> 00:38:14,792
Wealth does not
make for happiness,
Mr. Shaw.
800
00:38:14,792 --> 00:38:16,661
It is love
which sustains us.
801
00:38:16,661 --> 00:38:18,929
The joy of family.
The wonders of nature!
802
00:38:18,929 --> 00:38:22,099
The supreme pleasure
of spending a life with
someone devoted to you!
803
00:38:22,099 --> 00:38:25,469
And no amount of money
will ever give us these!
No amount!
804
00:38:25,469 --> 00:38:27,471
I see you found
the casino.
805
00:38:28,773 --> 00:38:31,042
Very interesting concept,
Mr. shipley.
806
00:38:31,042 --> 00:38:33,277

an aphrodisiac.

Money was no longer
an obstacle?
819
00:39:02,039 --> 00:39:05,343
Polina found herself
with feelings she
never knew she had.
820

What she assumed
would be the answer
to all her problems,
821

left her with
unexpected sorrow.
822
00:39:10,981 --> 00:39:13,351
Her grandmother
had been a kind soul.
823
00:39:13,351 --> 00:39:16,053
And polina was filled
with the loss of the woman
824

who had so often
held her in her arms

866
00:41:35,192 --> 00:41:36,994
(Emma)
6:45.
867
00:41:36,994 --> 00:41:38,696
No wonder
it didn't go off.
868
00:41:38,696 --> 00:41:40,030
What time
did you get up?
869
00:41:40,030 --> 00:41:41,932
Around 5:00.
I'm an early person.
870
00:41:41,932 --> 00:41:44,568
Some people are early people,
other people are late people.
871
00:41:44,568 --> 00:41:46,971
What kind of person
would you say you are?
872
00:41:46,971 --> 00:41:48,539
Are you moving in?
873
00:41:48,539 --> 00:41:50,541
No, I just bought
some groceries for us,
that's all.
874
00:41:50,541 --> 00:41:51,842
For us?
875
00:41:51,842 --> 00:41:53,444
Well, for me, really.
876
00:41:53,444 --> 00:41:55,646
I can't keep working
without eating
something normal,
877
00:41:55,646 --> 00:41:57,281
but you're more
than welcome to them.
878
00:41:57,281 --> 00:41:58,749
I mean, don't get me wrong.
879
00:41:58,749 --> 00:42:01,418
I like fish sticks
and cap'n crunch
as much as the next guy.
880
00:42:01,418 --> 00:42:02,987
Sorry, I just got caught up--
881
00:42:02,987 --> 00:42:04,421
oh, you don't
have to apologize.
882
00:42:04,421 --> 00:42:06,156
I understand.
You're a creative genius.
883
00:42:06,156 --> 00:42:08,893
You shouldn't have to worry
about things like food
or eating.
884
00:42:08,893 --> 00:42:11,595
Why don't you go take
a shower and I'll make
you some breakfast?
885
00:42:11,595 --> 00:42:13,063
No, no.
We don't have time.
886
00:42:13,063 --> 00:42:15,199
We still need
at least 150 pages.
887
00:42:15,199 --> 00:42:16,767
We'll eat as we work.
888
00:42:16,767 --> 00:42:18,903
Let's see what we have
from yesterday.
889
00:42:18,903 --> 00:42:20,070
Yesterday?
890
00:42:20,070 --> 00:42:22,606
Yeah. let's go over yesterday
and see where we are.
891
00:42:22,606 --> 00:42:25,276
You know,
why don't we just keep going?
892
00:42:25,276 --> 00:42:27,177
Like you said,
we don't have a lot of time.
893
00:42:27,177 --> 00:42:29,446
If we keep going over and over
what we've already done,
894
00:42:29,446 --> 00:42:31,081
then we won't get
895
00:42:31,682 --> 00:42:32,917
finished.
896
00:42:43,327 --> 00:42:45,362
"Adam walks through the casino
897
00:42:45,362 --> 00:42:49,199
"and sees lots of people
sitting around and doing stuff
898
00:42:49,199 --> 00:42:52,469
like playing roulette
and drinking booze
and yakking."
899
00:42:53,370 --> 00:42:56,240
I thought that Adam...
900
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:59,476
"Adam liked polina,
but he also knew
she was kind of weird.
901
00:42:59,476 --> 00:43:01,745
"So, even though sometimes
he thought it was love,
902
00:43:01,745 --> 00:43:04,381
all it really was that
he was hot for her."
903
00:43:04,381 --> 00:43:06,350
Well, Alex, it's true.
904
00:43:06,350 --> 00:43:07,685
No, it's not!
905
00:43:07,685 --> 00:43:10,054
He's madly in love with her
from the first minute
he sees her!
906
00:43:10,054 --> 00:43:11,822
And where's what I wrote?
907
00:43:15,492 --> 00:43:17,695
I was getting on the bus.
908
00:43:20,164 --> 00:43:21,599
[Sobs]
909
00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:23,601
And there was rain
910
00:43:24,835 --> 00:43:26,937
and a huge puddle.
911
00:43:28,005 --> 00:43:31,542
And my feet just tripped.
912
00:43:32,776 --> 00:43:37,081
And it just spilled.
And I'm sorry.
And I tried.
913
00:43:37,781 --> 00:43:39,450
I tried to fix it!
914
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:40,851
It's not your fault.
915
00:43:42,486 --> 00:43:43,721
Yeah, it is.
916
00:43:43,721 --> 00:43:45,589
I'll fix it.
917
00:43:45,589 --> 00:43:48,258
I've lost pages before.
It'll be ok.
918
00:43:48,258 --> 00:43:49,526
It will?
919
00:43:49,526 --> 00:43:52,663
Yeah, it will be fine.
How many pages got wrecked?
920
00:43:53,397 --> 00:43:54,398
18.
921
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,368
18.
922
00:43:57,368 --> 00:43:59,803
[Alarm ringing]
923
00:44:00,237 --> 00:44:01,171
[Sighs]
924
00:44:01,171 --> 00:44:03,907
Time to get up.
925
00:44:03,907 --> 00:44:06,710
(Alex)
as polina mourned
for her beloved grandmother
926
00:44:06,710 --> 00:44:09,613
and tended to family matters,
927
00:44:09,613 --> 00:44:13,217
Adam struggled to
keep his feelings
for polina in check.
928
00:44:13,217 --> 00:44:16,353
Adam's friendship with Elsa
continued to grow.
929
00:44:16,353 --> 00:44:19,323
Unaware of the deeper feelings
she held for him,
930
00:44:19,323 --> 00:44:23,560
he regaled her with stories
of the exciting life that
he would share with polina.
931
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,498
Adam's passions
continued to rage
out of control.
932
00:44:27,498 --> 00:44:30,167
With his beloved Red Sox
well out of contention
933
00:44:30,167 --> 00:44:32,269
for the American league
pennant,
934
00:44:32,269 --> 00:44:35,539
baseball no longer provided
a viable diversion.
935
00:44:35,539 --> 00:44:38,142
Shaw was not to
be underestimated.
936
00:44:38,142 --> 00:44:40,444
Despite the
insubstantial mustache,
937
00:44:40,444 --> 00:44:43,380
he'd proven himself
to be a formidable foe.
938
00:44:43,380 --> 00:44:45,849
Adam knew
that all too well.
939
00:44:45,849 --> 00:44:48,385
He had to make
his move. But when?
940
00:44:53,557 --> 00:44:54,825
Can I?
941
00:44:54,825 --> 00:44:56,360
Yeah, sure. Go ahead.
942
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:57,928
I'm formulating.
943
00:45:10,374 --> 00:45:12,376
I don't like tomato skins.
944
00:45:15,279 --> 00:45:16,647
Who are you?
945
00:45:17,781 --> 00:45:19,083
What?
946
00:45:19,083 --> 00:45:22,186
We've been in this room
for over 3 weeks.
947
00:45:22,186 --> 00:45:24,354
A-and besides the fact
that you have an opinion
948
00:45:24,354 --> 00:45:26,056
for just about
everything that I do,
949
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:27,958
and a rather odd way
of eating pizza,
950
00:45:27,958 --> 00:45:29,860
I don't know
anything about you.
951
00:45:29,860 --> 00:45:31,595
Like, where are you from?
952
00:45:31,595 --> 00:45:33,363
What have you been doing
with your life?
953
00:45:33,363 --> 00:45:36,333
Do you have friends?
A boyfriend? Parents?
954
00:45:36,333 --> 00:45:37,801
It's my personal life, Alex.
955
00:45:38,535 --> 00:45:39,903
I know. I know.
956
00:45:39,903 --> 00:45:42,906
And if you don't
feel like sharing,
i completely understand.
957
00:45:42,906 --> 00:45:46,009
I live in Jamaica plain.
Both my parents
are dead, I think.
958
00:45:46,009 --> 00:45:49,246
My mother died 6 years ago.
My father left when
we were very young,
959
00:45:49,246 --> 00:45:51,782
and I heard he drank
himself to death.
960
00:45:51,782 --> 00:45:54,718
Like I said, if you
don't feel like sharing...
961
00:46:00,090 --> 00:46:03,293
Did you mention
whether or not you
have a boyfriend?
962
00:46:03,861 --> 00:46:05,496
I didn't.
963
00:46:05,496 --> 00:46:07,131
Do you think you
will mention it?
964
00:46:08,232 --> 00:46:09,366
Maybe.
965
00:46:10,367 --> 00:46:12,736
Do you think
you'll mention it now?
966
00:46:13,837 --> 00:46:15,472
I do have a boyfriend.
967
00:46:16,607 --> 00:46:19,009
And I met him last year
968
00:46:20,310 --> 00:46:21,912
at a hockey game.
969
00:46:22,813 --> 00:46:24,348
Oh.
970
00:46:24,348 --> 00:46:28,118
Now, is it serious
or is it just one of
those hockey romances?
971
00:46:29,787 --> 00:46:32,055
We're planning
on getting married
next June.
972
00:46:32,055 --> 00:46:33,023
Oh.
973
00:46:35,159 --> 00:46:38,428
Well, I think I'm about
done formulating.
974
00:46:39,429 --> 00:46:41,098
Where was I?
975
00:46:41,098 --> 00:46:44,168
Uh, Adam was deciding
when to make his move.
976
00:46:45,068 --> 00:46:46,503
Yes.
977
00:46:46,503 --> 00:46:48,305
(Alex)
Adam could wait no longer.
978
00:46:48,305 --> 00:46:51,575
He felt like a kid
who had just finished counting
in hide-and-go-seek.
979
00:46:51,575 --> 00:46:53,844
It was now,
"ready or not, here I come."
980
00:46:53,844 --> 00:46:57,748
Yet still, his overture
must not appear insensitive
or indelicate.
981
00:46:58,982 --> 00:47:00,851
[Moaning]
982
00:47:00,851 --> 00:47:03,387
(Emma)
wait a minute. Wait a minute.
What are they doing?
983
00:47:03,387 --> 00:47:05,289
(Alex)
what does it look like
they're doing?
984
00:47:05,289 --> 00:47:06,323
Just like that?
985
00:47:06,323 --> 00:47:07,324
Why not?
986
00:47:07,324 --> 00:47:09,226
Her grandmother just died.
987
00:47:09,226 --> 00:47:10,427
Exactly.
988
00:47:11,628 --> 00:47:13,330
She's looking for comfort.
989
00:47:13,330 --> 00:47:17,067
I thought you said
Adam was going to
be sensitive to her.
990
00:47:17,067 --> 00:47:18,936
You're right. I did.
991
00:47:20,103 --> 00:47:22,873
I am so sorry that
your grandmother died.
992
00:47:25,242 --> 00:47:27,477
(Emma)
Alex, it just isn't
right like this.
993
00:47:27,477 --> 00:47:29,446
Are you nuts?
It's fabulous like this.
994
00:47:29,446 --> 00:47:31,014
No, it's not.
995
00:47:31,014 --> 00:47:32,449
Yes, it is.
996
00:47:32,449 --> 00:47:34,117
No, it's not.
997
00:47:35,452 --> 00:47:37,788
Look, I'm the writer, ok?
998
00:47:37,788 --> 00:47:39,823
And I'm saying it is.
999
00:47:39,823 --> 00:47:43,327
And I'm the reader, ok?
And I'm saying this
is really bothering me.
1000
00:47:43,327 --> 00:47:45,996
I'm trying very
hard to like Adam,
1001
00:47:45,996 --> 00:47:48,332
and you're making it
extremely difficult.
1002
00:47:48,332 --> 00:47:49,800
You know what?
1003
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:51,602
This isn't about Adam.
1004
00:47:51,602 --> 00:47:53,770
You've had it in for polina
since the very beginning.
1005
00:47:53,770 --> 00:47:55,706
Oh, please!
You have.
1006
00:47:55,706 --> 00:47:58,075
I do not have it in for
a fictional character.
1007
00:47:58,075 --> 00:47:59,376
Ok.
1008
00:47:59,376 --> 00:48:03,213
She's flighty. She's flirty.
She's a flawed character.
1009
00:48:03,213 --> 00:48:07,417
Oh, of course! The 3 fluhs:
Flighty, flirty and flawed.
1010
00:48:07,417 --> 00:48:09,019
Yes. and clearly,
1011
00:48:09,019 --> 00:48:11,221
if he's chasing
after someone like her,
1012
00:48:11,221 --> 00:48:13,557
he's sitting on some
pretty major issues.
1013
00:48:13,557 --> 00:48:14,958
Oh, really?
1014
00:48:14,958 --> 00:48:18,495
She's the hottest girl
on the island
by a factor of 10!
1015
00:48:18,495 --> 00:48:20,964
So, uh, maybe
he's not the one
with the issues.
1016
00:48:22,099 --> 00:48:23,667
What is that
supposed to mean?
1017
00:48:23,667 --> 00:48:26,770
He's not the one
who values propriety
over passion.
1018
00:48:29,539 --> 00:48:31,475
Are you saying
i don't believe in passion?
1019
00:48:31,475 --> 00:48:32,809
No.
1020
00:48:32,809 --> 00:48:36,013
I--I'm sure you do,
just so long as
the laundry is done first.
1021
00:48:38,882 --> 00:48:42,653
Adam and polina tumbled
passionately into bed.
1022
00:48:45,088 --> 00:48:48,158
Adam and polina tumbled
passionately into bed.
1023
00:48:50,327 --> 00:48:52,562
Oh, boy! Now you're talking!
1024
00:48:52,562 --> 00:48:53,664
[Moaning]
1025
00:48:55,666 --> 00:48:57,434
[Moaning]
1026
00:48:58,368 --> 00:49:00,737
This--this is a great island!
1027
00:49:00,737 --> 00:49:01,838
What?
1028
00:49:03,607 --> 00:49:04,641
Whoo!
1029
00:49:05,375 --> 00:49:07,311
[Adam groaning]
1030
00:49:08,979 --> 00:49:10,247
[Yelling]
1031
00:49:10,247 --> 00:49:11,214
What?
1032
00:49:11,715 --> 00:49:12,749
Whoo!
1033
00:49:12,749 --> 00:49:13,817
[Moaning]
1034
00:49:13,817 --> 00:49:15,252
[Both sighing]
1035
00:49:19,222 --> 00:49:20,691
I'm exhausted.
1036
00:49:23,060 --> 00:49:24,828
I bet you are.
1037
00:49:27,631 --> 00:49:29,199
Ok, so now what?
1038
00:49:30,334 --> 00:49:32,235
What do you mean?
1039
00:49:32,235 --> 00:49:35,272
Grandmother is dead.
Everything's worked
out for our lovebirds.
1040
00:49:35,272 --> 00:49:39,443
Polina has her money.
Adam has polina.
Shaw goes away.
1041
00:49:39,443 --> 00:49:41,044
Now what happens?
1042
00:49:44,181 --> 00:49:45,816
I have to vomit.
1043
00:49:47,284 --> 00:49:48,719
[Alex groaning]
1044
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,755
You have no place
to go from here,
do you?
1045
00:49:51,755 --> 00:49:54,291
You've written
yourself into a corner.
1046
00:49:55,158 --> 00:49:57,127
[Alex continues groaning]
1047
00:49:59,396 --> 00:50:01,798
You're supposed
to put your head
over the toilet.
1048
00:50:01,798 --> 00:50:06,003
Yeah, i--I've been
vomiting since I was 6.
I believe I can handle it.
1049
00:50:06,003 --> 00:50:07,571
I think I'm dying.
1050
00:50:07,571 --> 00:50:09,139
You're not dying.
1051
00:50:09,139 --> 00:50:13,343
No, really. I'm burning up.
I feel real bad.
1052
00:50:14,144 --> 00:50:15,412
[Panting]
1053
00:50:16,413 --> 00:50:19,249
You're not that warm.
1054
00:50:19,249 --> 00:50:23,186
Why does everyone
just tacitly accept
the-hand-to-the-forehead test
1055
00:50:23,186 --> 00:50:25,389
as being medically reliable?
1056
00:50:25,389 --> 00:50:26,490
You're fine.
1057
00:50:26,490 --> 00:50:28,992
I've got a pain in my chest.
This could be serious.
1058
00:50:28,992 --> 00:50:30,594
Ok.
1059
00:50:30,594 --> 00:50:32,596
Listen,
if these symptoms persist
1060
00:50:32,596 --> 00:50:34,765
and you really think
you're having
a heart attack,
1061
00:50:34,765 --> 00:50:37,034
now this is important,
1062
00:50:37,034 --> 00:50:39,169
I want you to
call me immediately.
1063
00:50:39,169 --> 00:50:41,371
Because there's no point in
my wasting bus fare
1064
00:50:41,371 --> 00:50:43,473
if you're just
going to be dead.
1065
00:50:43,473 --> 00:50:45,208
Have a nice evening.
1066
00:50:45,909 --> 00:50:48,278
[Door opening and closing]
1067
00:50:52,549 --> 00:50:54,818
(Emma)
so, what are you saying?
You're still blocked?
1068
00:50:54,818 --> 00:50:56,053
(Alex)
totally.
1069
00:50:56,053 --> 00:50:57,788
I mean, who said it
better than you?
1070
00:50:57,788 --> 00:51:00,090
Grandmother's dead.
Polina's got the money.
1071
00:51:00,090 --> 00:51:03,093
Adam's got polina,
and I've got nowhere to go.
1072
00:51:03,093 --> 00:51:05,262
You're not going to
vomit again, are you?
1073
00:51:05,262 --> 00:51:06,797
I've got to
get out of here.
1074
00:51:06,797 --> 00:51:08,131
Where are you going?
1075
00:51:08,131 --> 00:51:10,767
We don't have much time left.
Shouldn't we keep working?
1076
00:51:10,767 --> 00:51:11,802
This is working.
1077
00:51:11,802 --> 00:51:13,270
It is?
1078
00:51:13,270 --> 00:51:16,473
Yeah. when I get stuck,
i need to get my mind off
things for a while.
1079
00:51:16,473 --> 00:51:19,242
I need to look
at birds, trees,
people doing things
1080
00:51:19,242 --> 00:51:22,179
like throwing frisbees,
rollerblading,
that kind of thing.
1081
00:51:22,179 --> 00:51:24,081
Good. maybe once
you clear your mind,
1082
00:51:24,081 --> 00:51:27,350
you realize
he should have never jumped
into bed with her like that.
1083
00:51:27,350 --> 00:51:28,952
[People chattering]
1084
00:51:28,952 --> 00:51:31,855
(Alex)
i wanted to be a writer
for as long as I can remember.
1085
00:51:31,855 --> 00:51:33,723
My parents got divorced
when I was 8.
1086
00:51:33,723 --> 00:51:36,293
I started writing stories
as a place to
put my feelings.
1087
00:51:36,293 --> 00:51:37,694
I--i found it
was a lot easier
1088
00:51:37,694 --> 00:51:38,995
to have characters
say things
1089
00:51:38,995 --> 00:51:40,864
than to say them myself.
1090
00:51:40,864 --> 00:51:43,934
That's the beauty of writing.
You can have things work out
1091
00:51:43,934 --> 00:51:46,770
the way they never
seem to in real life.
1092
00:51:46,770 --> 00:51:48,738
Sometimes things
work out in life.
1093
00:51:48,738 --> 00:51:50,474
Hey, I'm all for it.
1094
00:51:51,341 --> 00:51:53,076
Have you ever been married?
1095
00:51:53,076 --> 00:51:55,112
In real life? No.
1096
00:51:55,112 --> 00:51:56,346
Let me guess.
1097
00:51:56,346 --> 00:51:58,348
You just haven't
met the right woman.
1098
00:51:58,348 --> 00:51:59,683
Exactly.
1099
00:51:59,683 --> 00:52:01,384
And I know what
you're going to say:
1100
00:52:01,384 --> 00:52:03,253
You have to be
the right man
1101
00:52:03,253 --> 00:52:06,423
in order to meet
the right woman.
1102
00:52:06,423 --> 00:52:09,826
But i--i know in my heart
that I am the right man,
1103
00:52:09,826 --> 00:52:12,462
and I know that
the perfect woman
is out there.
1104
00:52:12,462 --> 00:52:15,665
Someone who's smart,
funny, and beautiful.
1105
00:52:17,467 --> 00:52:20,470
And here's the tricky part:
Interested in me.
1106
00:52:23,106 --> 00:52:26,076
I know she's out there.
I just can't seem to...
1107
00:52:26,743 --> 00:52:28,011
It's like...
1108
00:52:28,011 --> 00:52:30,981
I--i feel like
one of those greyhounds
at the dog track.
1109
00:52:30,981 --> 00:52:34,317
You know, chasing
the mechanical rabbit?
I get so close,
1110
00:52:35,385 --> 00:52:37,521
but I can never quite
seem to catch it.
1111
00:52:38,788 --> 00:52:40,257
They never do.
1112
00:52:40,690 --> 00:52:41,992
I know.
1113
00:52:43,126 --> 00:52:45,295
Maybe you don't
want to catch it.
1114
00:52:46,029 --> 00:52:48,064
? What did you say? ?
1115
00:52:49,466 --> 00:52:53,036
? I know I saw you singing ?
1116
00:52:53,937 --> 00:52:58,241
? my ears won't stop ringing ?
1117
00:52:58,241 --> 00:53:02,879
? long enough to hear
those sweet words ?
1118
00:53:02,879 --> 00:53:05,382
? what did you say? ?
1119
00:53:07,984 --> 00:53:10,387
? All your love ?
1120
00:53:10,387 --> 00:53:14,257
? is a lost balloon ?
1121
00:53:17,494 --> 00:53:21,364
? rising up through ?
1122
00:53:22,499 --> 00:53:26,369
? the afternoon ?
1123
00:53:26,369 --> 00:53:30,907
? till it could fit on
the head of a pin ?
1124
00:53:33,677 --> 00:53:36,880
? what did you say? ?
1125
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:40,217
? I know I saw you singing ?
1126
00:53:40,217 --> 00:53:41,585
I hope today helped.
1127
00:53:41,585 --> 00:53:42,719
It did.
1128
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,955
Things are starting
to percolate.
1129
00:53:46,089 --> 00:53:47,457
I had a great time.
1130
00:53:47,457 --> 00:53:48,658
Me, too.
1131
00:53:50,594 --> 00:53:51,861
Oh, this is it.
1132
00:53:51,861 --> 00:53:52,829
Oh.
1133
00:53:53,763 --> 00:53:55,131
Well...
1134
00:53:55,131 --> 00:53:59,135
? I just wanna
hear those sweet words ?
1135
00:54:04,441 --> 00:54:06,409
I got it! I got it!
1136
00:54:06,876 --> 00:54:08,011
What?
1137
00:54:08,011 --> 00:54:11,114
I never should have had
the grandmother die.
1138
00:54:11,114 --> 00:54:14,384
This is great!
Thank you! Thank you!
1139
00:54:16,086 --> 00:54:17,420
I love you!
1140
00:54:18,421 --> 00:54:19,923
You know
what I mean, right?
1141
00:54:20,257 --> 00:54:21,258
Yeah.
1142
00:54:21,258 --> 00:54:23,059
This is great.
Great.
1143
00:54:23,059 --> 00:54:26,429
All right.
I'll see you tomorrow.
The grandmother lives!
1144
00:54:26,963 --> 00:54:29,399
Look who is alive!
1145
00:54:30,967 --> 00:54:33,103
The telegram
said you were gone.
1146
00:54:33,103 --> 00:54:35,171
Well, of course I was gone.
1147
00:54:37,407 --> 00:54:42,445
If I was not gone from there,
how could I be here?
1148
00:54:42,445 --> 00:54:44,814
Weren't you worried
taking such an arduous trip
1149
00:54:44,814 --> 00:54:46,349
considering your health?
1150
00:54:46,349 --> 00:54:49,085
My health is fine.
1151
00:54:49,085 --> 00:54:51,921
Those stupid doctors,
all idiots.
1152
00:54:51,921 --> 00:54:54,224
They should have
their licenses revoked.
1153
00:54:54,224 --> 00:54:56,259
Every last one of them!
1154
00:54:56,259 --> 00:54:59,996
First, they gave me
a year to live,
1155
00:54:59,996 --> 00:55:03,366
then it became 6 months.
1156
00:55:03,366 --> 00:55:06,269
Then less than a month.
1157
00:55:06,269 --> 00:55:07,704
To listen to them,
1158
00:55:07,704 --> 00:55:11,541
I'd be dead 10 minutes
after I got here!
1159
00:55:11,541 --> 00:55:12,876
[Laughing]
1160
00:55:20,350 --> 00:55:21,918
(Emma)
what are you doing?
1161
00:55:21,918 --> 00:55:24,354
The dead grandmother's
what got you stuck
in the first place.
1162
00:55:24,354 --> 00:55:26,122
Now she's dead again?
1163
00:55:27,490 --> 00:55:29,392
No money at all?
1164
00:55:29,392 --> 00:55:32,062
Oh, your mother
had acquired
one of the most extraordinary
1165
00:55:32,062 --> 00:55:34,964
collections of rare perfumes
in the history of France.
1166
00:55:35,432 --> 00:55:37,100
Worth a fortune.
1167
00:55:37,100 --> 00:55:41,338
As you know, your mother,
god rest her soul,
made it to 90.
1168
00:55:41,338 --> 00:55:43,139
Sadly, the perfumes
did not.
1169
00:55:43,473 --> 00:55:44,441
What?
1170
00:55:44,441 --> 00:55:46,343
They all evaporated.
1171
00:55:46,343 --> 00:55:50,180
The last of it, during her
brief struggle with scurvy.
1172
00:55:50,180 --> 00:55:54,050
Your mother's
fortune has evaporated?
1173
00:55:54,584 --> 00:55:56,186
Every penny of it?
1174
00:55:56,186 --> 00:55:58,221
She had scurvy?
1175
00:55:58,221 --> 00:56:00,290
(Alex)
upon hearing
grandmother's money
1176
00:56:00,290 --> 00:56:01,925
had gone the way
of all Chanel,
1177
00:56:01,925 --> 00:56:03,760
Adam pondered his fate.
1178
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,595
He was no fool.
1179
00:56:05,595 --> 00:56:08,298
He was a tutor,
for god's sake.
1180
00:56:08,298 --> 00:56:10,300
He knew it was only
a matter of time
1181
00:56:10,300 --> 00:56:12,068
before polina
would find herself
1182
00:56:12,068 --> 00:56:14,371
once again in
the arms of his rival,
1183
00:56:14,371 --> 00:56:16,506
the odious John Shaw.
1184
00:56:16,506 --> 00:56:19,542
He pondered the engagement.
He pondered the wedding.
1185
00:56:19,542 --> 00:56:21,644
And then he pondered
the wedding night.
1186
00:56:21,644 --> 00:56:23,446
It was at that
point he realized
1187
00:56:23,446 --> 00:56:25,515
maybe he should
stop pondering.
1188
00:56:26,216 --> 00:56:27,283
Eldora!
1189
00:56:27,283 --> 00:56:29,018
[Speaking Spanish]
1190
00:56:29,018 --> 00:56:31,321
Oh, senor shipley,
you must try to forget her.
1191
00:56:31,921 --> 00:56:33,523
Here, have some paella.
1192
00:56:33,523 --> 00:56:35,492
(Emma)
oh, whoa! Whoa!
1193
00:56:35,492 --> 00:56:37,260
What?
eldora?
1194
00:56:37,794 --> 00:56:39,129
Eldora.
1195
00:56:39,129 --> 00:56:42,432
Eldora, the Spanish au pair,
who was Elsa,
the German au pair,
1196
00:56:42,432 --> 00:56:44,501
who was ylva,
the Swedish au pair?
1197
00:56:44,501 --> 00:56:47,771
Si.
no. Alex, absolutely not.
1198
00:56:47,771 --> 00:56:51,474
Even if eldora was
the greatest character
since Scarlet O'Hara,
1199
00:56:51,474 --> 00:56:54,010
which quite frankly
seems like a long shot,
1200
00:56:54,010 --> 00:56:56,012
we don't have time
to change everything.
1201
00:56:56,012 --> 00:56:57,280
I know, but--
1202
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,516
3 days, Alex!
We have 3 days.
1203
00:56:59,516 --> 00:57:01,151
I know,
but something's missing.
1204
00:57:01,151 --> 00:57:04,387
Maybe he needs
another obstacle
to keep him from polina.
1205
00:57:04,387 --> 00:57:06,689
He's broke.
She's marrying another man,
1206
00:57:06,689 --> 00:57:08,792
and if you ask me,
she doesn't even love him.
1207
00:57:08,792 --> 00:57:11,394
I think he has
enough obstacles.
1208

Wait. wait. I got it.
1209
00:57:13,129 --> 00:57:15,465
It's not an obstacle,
it's the 2nd triangle.
1210
00:57:15,465 --> 00:57:17,767
You were right about
the 2nd triangle.
This can work.
1211

And the changes
will be easy.

You seem different today,
Anna.

Did you do something
to your hair?
1217
00:57:45,395 --> 00:57:48,298
(Alex)
there was something in Anna's
eyes that Adam, until now,
1218
00:57:48,298 --> 00:57:51,668
blinded by his love
for polina, hadn't seen.
1219
00:57:51,668 --> 00:57:54,537
A deep sadness,
combined with
a quiet strength
1220
00:57:54,537 --> 00:57:56,873
that made her seem
incredibly beautiful.

This way,
the reader doesn't know
who he'll wind up with.

do anything.

That's why they call it stew.

5 years ago.

Now, I'm just
spitballing here,

while those of a more
cynical nature might think
1259

that Adam
was merely on the rebound...

he found comfort in Anna.

And with each passing day,
his feelings for her
grew stronger.

It's so interesting
watching this process unfold.

what you meant

when you said the characters
would lead you.
1266

But now it's so clear
why Anna and Adam
1267

would end up together
all this time.
1268

How could they not
end up together

after they were
so romantic?
1275
01:00:10,773 --> 01:00:12,475
That's exactly the point.

make him your dentist.

oral surgery. So, I suppose--

01:21:32,187 --> 01:21:34,823
She's my stenographer.
1734
01:21:34,823 --> 01:21:36,992
I just finished dictating
my novel to her.
1735
01:21:36,992 --> 01:21:38,627
She did an amazing job.
1736
01:21:40,762 --> 01:21:42,063
I have to go.
1737
01:21:42,063 --> 01:21:43,698
It was very nice
to meet you, polina.
1738
01:21:43,698 --> 01:21:45,500
I've heard so much
about you.
1739
01:21:45,500 --> 01:21:46,801
I'll be right back.
1740
01:21:46,801 --> 01:21:48,203
Ahem. Emma.
1741
01:21:48,203 --> 01:21:49,437
I didn't know
she was coming.
1742
01:21:49,437 --> 01:21:51,039
I thought she was--
don't, Alex!
1743
01:21:51,039 --> 01:21:53,608
Please! 'cause you know what
happens with these things.
1744
01:21:53,608 --> 01:21:55,243
Somebody always
says something
1745
01:21:55,243 --> 01:21:57,312
to try to make
the other person feel better,
1746
01:21:57,312 --> 01:22:00,382
but it never does,
so if you could just
not say anything!
1747
01:22:00,382 --> 01:22:02,217
Your stenographer?
1748
01:22:02,217 --> 01:22:05,754
You introduced me
as your stenographer?
1749
01:22:05,754 --> 01:22:07,422
I--i--i didn't know
what to say.
1750
01:22:07,422 --> 01:22:09,791
I--i didn't want to hurt
either one of you.
1751
01:22:09,791 --> 01:22:11,192
No, Alex.
1752
01:22:11,192 --> 01:22:13,361
Who you didn't want
to hurt was you.
1753
01:22:14,863 --> 01:22:15,830
Emma.
1754
01:22:16,498 --> 01:22:17,899
Wait a sec.
1755
01:22:17,899 --> 01:22:19,834
You know what
i can't figure out?
1756
01:22:19,834 --> 01:22:21,536
What's it gonna be,
sweetheart?
1757
01:22:21,536 --> 01:22:22,837
Yeah, one second.
1758
01:22:22,837 --> 01:22:24,606
I can't figure out
what's worse,
1759
01:22:24,606 --> 01:22:26,775
having to know
every single detail
1760
01:22:26,775 --> 01:22:29,711
about your desperate love
for some other woman
1761
01:22:29,711 --> 01:22:32,380
or having to know that you
obviously never came close
1762
01:22:32,380 --> 01:22:34,215
to feeling the same way
about me.
1763
01:22:39,154 --> 01:22:40,455
Goodbye, Alex.
1764
01:22:45,193 --> 01:22:46,828
[Bus pulling away]
1765
01:22:55,370 --> 01:22:57,439
She's not just
your stenographer.
1766
01:22:58,006 --> 01:22:58,974
No.
1767
01:22:59,641 --> 01:23:01,509
Is she your girlfriend?
1768
01:23:01,509 --> 01:23:02,844
Not anymore.
1769
01:23:04,379 --> 01:23:06,014
Come with me tonight.
1770
01:23:06,014 --> 01:23:08,083
There's a darling little
charity ball
1771
01:23:08,083 --> 01:23:10,518
at the ritz.
Landmines, I think.
1772
01:23:10,518 --> 01:23:11,987
No, I don't think I can--
1773
01:23:11,987 --> 01:23:14,322
hey, it's perfect.
You finished your novel.
1774
01:23:14,322 --> 01:23:16,024
We can leave for Paris
in the morning.
1775
01:23:16,024 --> 01:23:17,993
It's beautiful
this time of year,
1776
01:23:17,993 --> 01:23:19,828
and the kids would
love to see you.
1777
01:23:19,828 --> 01:23:21,296
I'll take you to giverny.
1778
01:23:21,296 --> 01:23:22,864
Have you ever seen
the water lilies?
1779
01:23:22,864 --> 01:23:24,799
They're magical.
1780
01:23:26,701 --> 01:23:27,836
Polina,
1781
01:23:29,237 --> 01:23:31,406
have you ever done
your own laundry?
1782
01:23:31,973 --> 01:23:33,008
What?
1783
01:23:33,842 --> 01:23:35,010
Nothing.
1784
01:23:36,911 --> 01:23:39,814
(Wirschafter)
you should have a gun
to your head more often.
1785
01:23:39,814 --> 01:23:41,750
You like it?
You kidding me?
1786
01:23:41,750 --> 01:23:44,352
Usually an author falls on his
ass with his 2nd effort.
1787
01:23:44,352 --> 01:23:45,954
This is terrific.
1788
01:23:45,954 --> 01:23:47,555
Ok!
1789
01:23:47,555 --> 01:23:50,458
Here you go.
Just like you requested.
1790

and $100,000 made out to...
1792
01:23:56,131 --> 01:23:59,067
Now, is it "Cuban mafia"
1793
01:23:59,067 --> 01:24:00,702
or "the Cuban mafia"?
1794
01:24:01,302 --> 01:24:02,570
I'm kidding, cash.
1795
01:24:03,338 --> 01:24:04,372
So...
1796
01:24:05,440 --> 01:24:07,142
What do you think
of the ending?
1797
01:24:08,343 --> 01:24:10,311
I like it. It's bittersweet.
1798
01:24:11,046 --> 01:24:12,113
Yeah.

to the phone right now.

If you're there,
please pick up.

I'm not just calling
to make you feel better.
1807
01:24:42,477 --> 01:24:44,179
I really need to talk to you.
1808
01:24:47,882 --> 01:24:49,484

1811
01:25:09,637 --> 01:25:11,139
Oh!
1812
01:25:11,139 --> 01:25:13,842
Did the fact that you called
17 times last night
1813
01:25:13,842 --> 01:25:15,243
with no response from me
1814
01:25:15,243 --> 01:25:16,945
send any kind
of signal to you?
1815
01:25:16,945 --> 01:25:18,480
Yeah. I mean,
I'm not an idiot.
1816
01:25:18,480 --> 01:25:20,181
I figured you wanted
to talk to me,
1817
01:25:20,181 --> 01:25:22,016
but your machine was broken.
1818
01:25:22,016 --> 01:25:23,885
Emma, w-wait a second.
Emma, wait.
1819

I think I'm in love with you.

this whole thing.

he tells one version.
1827
01:25:46,407 --> 01:25:47,876
She was telling me
the whole time
1828
01:25:47,876 --> 01:25:49,277
that my wife
was cheating on me.
1829

Alex, if you keep this up--
1837
01:26:04,759 --> 01:26:05,860
I have your check.
1838
01:26:05,860 --> 01:26:07,328
I could bring it over
if you want.
1839
01:26:07,328 --> 01:26:09,030
Because you worked
so many extra hours
1840
01:26:09,030 --> 01:26:10,598

send it to me.

about the book.

i can talk to about it.

end up with Anna.

that are nothing more
than what they are.

in your heart

was free.

to the last page.

1908
01:29:40,842 --> 01:29:42,577
of the summer
on Saint Charles.
1909
01:29:42,577 --> 01:29:45,646
Emotions that he hoped
he could capture on paper.
1910
01:29:45,646 --> 01:29:47,648
When his thoughts
turned to polina,
1911
01:29:47,648 --> 01:29:49,684
it was as if she were
some kind of dream.
1912
01:29:49,684 --> 01:29:51,185
I can't do this.
1913
01:29:51,185 --> 01:29:53,221
Please, Emma.
Just keep typing.
1914
01:29:56,324 --> 01:29:57,425
Please.
1915
01:30:07,702 --> 01:30:09,971
He remembered
her flawless skin,
1916
01:30:09,971 --> 01:30:11,773
her dark, intense eyes,
1917
01:30:12,340 --> 01:30:13,875
her captivating smile.
1918
01:30:14,976 --> 01:30:18,279
Then one day, that dream
walked back into his life.
1919
01:30:18,279 --> 01:30:20,415
Her beauty
was still undeniable.
1920
01:30:20,415 --> 01:30:22,083
Why are you
doing this to me?
1921
01:30:22,083 --> 01:30:23,851
Because I need you
to understand.
1922
01:30:23,851 --> 01:30:26,387
Just let me finish,
Emma. Then you can
walk out the door,
1923
01:30:26,387 --> 01:30:28,756
and I swear I'll never
bother you again.
1924
01:30:36,164 --> 01:30:38,166
Her beauty
was still undeniable,
1925
01:30:38,166 --> 01:30:39,934
but it wasn't the same.
1926
01:30:39,934 --> 01:30:41,836
As she spoke
of her feelings for him,
1927
01:30:41,836 --> 01:30:43,571
all he could think
of was Anna.
1928
01:30:43,571 --> 01:30:46,174
Sweet, caring,
beautiful Anna,
1929
01:30:46,174 --> 01:30:48,776
and how his own failings
had driven her away.
1930
01:30:49,577 --> 01:30:52,146
Anna had become part of him.
1931
01:30:52,146 --> 01:30:54,515
He had fallen so completely
in love with her
1932
01:30:54,515 --> 01:30:55,950
that it was hopeless to think
1933
01:30:55,950 --> 01:30:58,119
he could ever be
with anyone else.
1934
01:30:58,119 --> 01:31:00,555
And so he said
goodbye to polina
1935
01:31:00,555 --> 01:31:03,458
and set off to win back
the heart of his true love.
1936
01:31:04,425 --> 01:31:06,227
Yes, polina
had been a dream,
1937
01:31:06,227 --> 01:31:08,496
like a creation
from one of his stories,
1938
01:31:08,496 --> 01:31:09,864
but Anna was real.
1939
01:31:10,932 --> 01:31:12,633
And for the first time
in his life
1940
01:31:12,633 --> 01:31:14,135
that felt more powerful
1941
01:31:14,135 --> 01:31:16,170
than anything
he could ever invent.
1942
01:31:22,543 --> 01:31:23,744
The end.
1943
01:31:27,181 --> 01:31:28,716
Nice last sentence.
1944
01:31:36,424 --> 01:31:38,025
I'm just a writer, Emma.
1945
01:31:39,193 --> 01:31:40,828
I don't know
what to do to show you
1946
01:31:40,828 --> 01:31:43,231
how much I love you.
I only have words.
1947
01:31:44,031 --> 01:31:45,399
That's all I have.
1948
01:31:48,803 --> 01:31:50,171
Maybe I was wrong.
1949
01:31:51,672 --> 01:31:52,907
About what?
1950
01:31:54,108 --> 01:31:56,043
Maybe you can
catch the rabbit.
1951
01:32:03,951 --> 01:32:05,953
? What did you say? ?
1952
01:32:07,321 --> 01:32:10,791
? I know I saw you singing ?
1953
01:32:11,792 --> 01:32:15,796
? my ears won't stop ringing ?
1954
01:32:15,796 --> 01:32:19,867
? long enough to hear
those sweet words ?
1955
01:32:20,801 --> 01:32:22,703
? what did you say? ?
1956
01:32:25,473 --> 01:32:27,708
? Another day ?
1957
01:32:28,643 --> 01:32:31,979
? the hour hand has spun ?
1958
01:32:33,214 --> 01:32:37,385
? before the night is done ?
1959
01:32:37,385 --> 01:32:41,722
? I just have to hear
those sweet words ?
1960
01:32:41,722 --> 01:32:44,559
? spoken like a melody ?
1961
01:32:48,195 --> 01:32:50,631
? all your love ?
1962
01:32:50,631 --> 01:32:54,669
? is a lost balloon ?
1963
01:32:57,738 --> 01:33:01,375
? rising up through ?
1964
01:33:02,877 --> 01:33:06,914
? the afternoon ?
1965
01:33:06,914 --> 01:33:10,718
? till if it could fit
on a head of a pin ?
1966
01:33:14,288 --> 01:33:17,024
? come on in ?
1967
01:33:17,024 --> 01:33:21,362
? did you have
a hard time sleeping? ?
1968
01:33:21,362 --> 01:33:24,165
? 'Cause a heavy moon ?
1969
01:33:24,165 --> 01:33:27,034
? was keeping me awake ?
1970
01:33:27,034 --> 01:33:30,304
? and all I know is ?
1971
01:33:30,304 --> 01:33:33,474
? I'm just glad
to see you again ?
1972
01:33:57,331 --> 01:33:59,867
? see, now love ?
1973
01:33:59,867 --> 01:34:03,738
? like a lost balloon ?
1974
01:34:07,008 --> 01:34:10,978
? rising up through ?
1975
01:34:12,113 --> 01:34:15,816
? the afternoon ?
1976
01:34:16,617 --> 01:34:18,653
? and then ?
1977
01:34:18,653 --> 01:34:22,089
? you appear ?
1978
01:34:23,357 --> 01:34:26,227
? what did you say? ?
1979
01:34:26,227 --> 01:34:29,864
? I know I saw you singing ?
1980
01:34:31,065 --> 01:34:35,202
? but my ears
won't stop ringing ?
1981
01:34:35,202 --> 01:34:39,874
? long enough to hear
those sweet words ?
1982
01:34:39,874 --> 01:34:43,310
? and you're simple melody ?
1983
01:34:44,712 --> 01:34:49,116
? I just have to hear
those sweet words ?
1984
01:34:49,116 --> 01:34:52,386
? spoken like a melody ?
1985
01:34:54,121 --> 01:34:58,092
? I just wanna hear
those sweet words ?
