Calendar Page #3

We're both from here.

Yet being here has made me

from somewhere else.

He says, probably the calendar

project was just a...

Catalyser of something.

Otherwise, you would've just...

A catalyser, what like

a catalyst?

Yeah, that's what I mean,

a catalyst.

Well, I guess. I mean...

Otherwise you would've just done...

Any other research

about any other topic.

I guess, yes.

Hi, it's Julia.

I just realized that sash

speaks three languages.

And it occurred to me

that you might like her

To come with three different

changes of clothing.

Please let me know.

She's beautiful.

Yeah, she is.

How old is she?

Uh... I guess she'd be 8.

- She looks older there.

- Yeah, yeah.

How much does she cost you?

It just went up. It was $28

a month, and now it's about $30.

What do you get? You get

a picture... what else?

They send a picture,

Ive got a videotape, yeah.

And, no it's...

It's nice.

It makes you... I don't know...

I like it.

It's funny because I sort of...

I wrote a letter.

- She answered?

- Yeah.

Do you have children?

Oh, yeah. I've got two.

How much do they

cost you a month?

I have no idea.

It's a ridiculous question.

You don't think

about those things.

But if you had

to ball-Parked it...

I have no idea.

Do you want children?

I don't know. It's...

Do you mind if

I make a phone call?

Uh, the phone is just

on the water cooler.

What are you talking about?

- Children.

- Children?

What does he have

to say about children?

He says if we had children,

we would have better reason.

To come and salvage

ourselves in Armenia.

He thinks that if we had children,

we would come to live in Armenia.

What's he saying now?

Probably it would've been

the best thing for the child.

To live in his ancestors' land.

- And, do you think that?

- Me?

Well, you know what I think.

Which is what?

What are you saying?

I'm saying exactly what we've

been always saying to each other...

That it's a big problem for me

too have a child, I don't know,

Which culture could be best

for him, or for her.

Dear lucine,

How are you?

I miss you very much.

And I think about you

all the time.

I showed your picture

to a very nice lady today,

Who told me how pretty

she thought you were.

I hope your English lessons

are going well.

It's my dream that one day, we'll

be able to speak to each other.

You can come and visit me,

And stay as long as you like.

I like to have guests.

Now I have a question

to ask you.

Do you ever see my wife?

I gave her your address.

And she promised she'd

come and visit you.

Does she come alone?

Does she bring a man with her?

Does he have a mustache?

What does she call him?

A friend,

A boyfriend.

Please let me know

what she calls him.

You must promise that

you'll never tell my wife,

That Im asking you to do this.

It must remain

our little secret.

A secret between lucine

and her loving foster daddy.

He says perhaps this spot

is really nice

But he's not really sure

about something.

He says every time he comes

here, he has the feeling,

That he knows so much

about this place, but...

He realizes also every time that

he actually doesn't know much.

He says perhaps you didn't need

really need him

To be around because you

could've found the right spot,

And make perfect images,

For people to look

and appreciate anyhow.

He says that he feels

that he has actually,

Really, uh, become very...

Insignificant man to compare

to the rocks and the stones...

And their history and the people

who made that history.

He says, don't pay attention.

He's saying... dumb things.

He says, why would

that interest you, anyhow?

The things that he is saying.

He doesn't know why he's really

telling you those things.

He says everything is fine.

Don't worry.

What are they saying?

How much longer

are you going to be?

It's hard to say. The light is

really kind of flat right now.

And the sun should be...

about an hour, I guess.

So, do you want

to come along with us?

We're taking just a walk.

- A walk? To where?

- Yeah. I don't know.

I guess, around.

Um... well, no,

I better stay here.

I mean, the camer is here.

It's all set up, and I think...

So?

Well, Im not going

to take it with me.

Well, nothing is going

to happen. Come on.

- You want me to leave the camer here.

- Yeah, so what?

Are you joking? I mean...

No, Im not. It's beautiful.

Let's, let's just take a walk.

There's no one around.

No, I know it's beautiful, but

Im not leaving the camer here.

- I'll have to carry it around.

- Who's going to take it?

I don't know. Anyone could.

Anyone could just show up.

Come on, there's no one.

Just us three.

- No, no.

- Come on, you'll enjoy it.

It's not a question

of wanting to go or not.

It's much stranger than that.

What I really feel like doing

is standing here and watching.

If you change your mind,

come around.

Watching while

the two of you leave me...

And disappear into a landscape

that Im about to photograph.

Bye!

A strange

thing happened today.

As I was letting this woman in,

our neighbor across the street,

An old polish man,

called your name.

I have no idea why

he would think she was you.

The only thing you have

in common is your hair,

Your long, beautiful hair,

Which I still dream of running

my fingers through.

Do you know this song?

A church

and a fortress.

A fortress in ruins.

All that's meant to protect us

is bound to fall apart,

Bound to become contrived,

useless and absurd.

All that's meant to protect

is bound to isolate.

And all that's meant

to isolate is bound to hurt.

We're sorry,

your call did not go through.

Will you please hang up

and try your call again.

This is a recording.

We're sorry, your call

did not go through.

Will you please hang up

and try your call again.

This is a recording.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Do you know what

he's talking about?

Do you know what

he's talking about?

Do you want me to explain?

- I guess not.

- Yeah, explain.

Explain.

Well, he's explaining

The structure

of the fortress.

In 1930... when they

were doing exploration...

He's talking non-Stop.

I can't explain anything.

They've done explorations here.

They've found metals...

Everything they've found,

They've moved it

to... the museum.

Um, he wants to know

if you mean...

Uh, or you wish to exactly

know how he feels about me.

If he has any desire

towards me or not.

Is that what you want to know?

I want to know how...

Yes, I guess I want to know

where this is all going to lead.

I mean, Ive obviously lost

something very close to me,

And I want to know

how he feels about that.

He feels that you are

two adventurous men.

That Im too adventurous?

No, the two of you are

very adventurous men.

Why? Why would he feel that way?

He says, because we know that we

are talking about something...

Where we do not... can't

find many other things,

Such as evil and the divine.

I don't understand.
