00:
38:26,468 -- 00:38:31,388

The Rassiga Gallery.

I'm surrounded by primitive gods.

451

00:
38:31,522 -- 00:38:36,425

- And where do you live?

- On the East Side. Murray Hill.

452

00:
38:36,493 -- 00:38:41,829

- Where exactly?

- Funky, four-story walk-up-

453

00:
38:41,899 -- 00:38:45,665

high ceilings, trees on the street.

454

00:
38:45,736 -- 00:38:49,866

We have a clock on the corner drugstore.

Stopped around about 1 930.

455

00:
38:49,940 -- 00:38:52,033

I'm always late for everything.

456

00:
38:52,109 -- 00:38:54,669

It's a very festive area.

457

00:
38:54,745 -- 00:38:57,543

Young men with poodles live there.

458

00:
38:57,614 -- 00:39:01,846

- Mmm.

- We get no more than one stabbing a week.

459

00:
39:04,521 -- 00:39:08,389

- Downstairs, we have our own

private movie director.

- A director?

460

00:
39:08,458 -- 00:39:12,189

He's making a true-life movie

about our house.

461

00:
39:12,262 -- 00:39:14,822

Do you spend a lot of time

with him?

462

00:
39:14,898 -- 00:39:18,664

Hours. He doesn't know half

what goes on in the house.

463

00:
39:18,735 -- 00:39:21,397

- I have to tell him.

- And you know everything?

464

00:
39:21,471 -- 00:39:25,908

I'm very inquisitive.

Haven't you noticed?

465

00:
39:25,976 -- 00:39:29,309

On the second floor,

there's these threeJapanese boys.

466

00:
39:29,379 -- 00:39:31,711

They're all brilliant.

467

00:
39:31,782 -- 00:39:36,219

They do all their dating by computer.

We spend a lot of time sewing on their buttons.

468

00:
39:36,286 -- 00:39:39,517

- We?

- Me and Hilary and Jane.

469

00:
39:39,590 -- 00:39:42,684

- You met them last night.

- Oh, of course.

470

00:
39:42,759 -- 00:39:45,421

- The other two girls.

- Right.

- [ Laughter]

471

00:
39:45,495 -- 00:39:47,725

You're very close to those two,

aren't you?

472

00:
39:47,798 -- 00:39:51,427

Oh,yeah. We tell each other

everything, practically.

473

00:
39:51,501 -- 00:39:54,231

No, I told him,

"Rub my stomach round and round...

474

00:
39:54,304 -- 00:39:56,397

and say, 'I love you. I love you.'''

475

00:
39:56,473 -- 00:39:58,998

And, oh, it was great.

So then I said, " Lower, lower.''

476

00:
39:59,076 -- 00:40:01,408

And he said,

[ Deepens Voice ] " I love you. I love you.''

477

479

00:
40:14,858 -- 00:40:16,951

You know much

about this music?

480

00:
40:17,027 -- 00:40:21,191

- Mmm, not much.

- George Frederic Handel.

481

00:
40:22,532 -- 00:40:24,796

Very clean kind of music.

482

00:
40:24,868 -- 00:40:26,893

It's all brass.

483

00:
40:26,970 -- 00:40:29,302

No strings cluttering up

the background.

k& [ Humming Melody ]

485

00:
40:36,647 -- 00:40:39,775

Very practical guy, Handel.

486

00:
40:39,850 -- 00:40:43,081

I mean, give him a job like a trip up the river

or a fireworks party-

487

00:
40:43,153 -- 00:40:45,383

Hejust sat down

and wrote music for it.

488

00:
40:45,455 -- 00:40:48,982

- This particular one was written

for the king's fireworks-

-k& [ Cymbals Clash ]

489

Pow.! Did you hear that?

490

00:
40:51,161 -- 00:40:53,425

Fireworks going off

on the other side of the river.

491

00:
40:53,497 -- 00:40:56,625

All those guys in powdered wigs

justjumping out of their britches.

492

00:
40:56,700 -- 00:40:58,930

Oh.!

493

k& [ Vocalizing ]

494

00:
41:09,413 -- 00:41:12,780

Did you know that Handel

wrote three oboe trios...

495

00:
41:12,849 -- 00:41:15,249

when he was 1 1 years old?

496

00:
41:15,319 -- 00:41:17,549

I'm not kidding.

497

00:
41:19,990 -- 00:41:22,254

[ Laughs ]

I don't know what made me think of this...

498

00:
41:22,326 -- 00:41:25,853

but you know, if you stand

and suck a lemon in front of a brass band...

499

00:
41:25,929 -- 00:41:29,626

the music stops.

[ Laughs ]

500

00:
41:29,700 -- 00:41:31,998

I mean it. Well,you try

blowing a euphonium...

501

00:
41:32,069 -- 00:41:34,469

while someone is sucking

a lemon in front of you.

502

00:
41:34,538 -- 00:41:36,631

Can't be done.

503

00:
41:36,707 -- 00:41:40,108

You'd be foaming at the mouth.

[ Laughs ]

504

00:
41:40,177 -- 00:41:42,577

Sun's coming out.

505

00:
41:45,182 -- 00:41:48,174

[ Thinking ]

She wasn't listening.

506

00:
41:48,251 -- 00:41:51,709

[ Thinking ]

Now what have I done?

507

00:
41:54,191 -- 00:41:58,025

[ Thinking ] I was just presenting her

with a little knowledge.

508

00:
41:58,095 -- 00:42:02,862

[ Thinking ]

Actually, he was being a big brass band bore.

509

00:
42:02,933 -- 00:42:07,529

[ Thinking ]

She surrounds herself with all these types.

510

00:
42:07,604 -- 00:42:12,701

[ Thinking ] It's hard work

for something I don't really want perhaps.

511

00:
42:12,776 -- 00:42:16,212

[ Thinking ]

I wonder what she's thinking about.

512

00:
42:16,279 -- 00:42:19,476

That movie director?

[ Scoffs ]

513

00:
42:19,549 -- 00:42:23,144

- One of herJapanese friends.

[ Thinking ]

He's trying the oldest trick in the world-

515

00:
42:26,156 -- 00:42:28,283

just not trying.

516

00:
42:31,895 -- 00:42:35,353

I'm not totally uneducated,

you know.

517

00:
42:35,432 -- 00:42:38,492

I was boring you.

518

00:
42:38,568 -- 00:42:40,661

I didn't learn anything at school.

519

00:
42:40,737 -- 00:42:42,932

Who does, for God's sake?

520

00:
42:43,006 -- 00:42:46,908

- But men teach me things.

- I'm sure.

521

00:
42:46,977 -- 00:42:49,946

They explain all about

the electoral college...

522

00:
42:50,013 -- 00:42:53,847

and how to eat artichokes

without getting your mouth full of leaves.

523

00:
42:53,917 -- 00:42:58,047

Did your, uh, director friend

teach you that?

524

00:
42:58,121 -- 00:43:00,282

Everyone I know

teaches me things.

525

00:
43:00,357 -- 00:43:02,848

Oh, but he taught you something.!

526

00:
43:02,926 -- 00:43:07,522

- Quite a lot.

- Do you go to bed with him?

527

00:
43:07,597 -- 00:43:12,432

- You're assuming rights on me.

- Didn't you give me any?

528

00:
43:12,502 -- 00:43:15,232

- No.

- No?

529

00:
43:15,305 -- 00:43:18,536

No, what I gave you

didn't have any rights attached to it.

530

00:
43:18,608 -- 00:43:21,304

It was free.

531

00:
43:21,378 -- 00:43:23,710

Do you think we have

to pay for everything?

532

00:
43:23,780 -- 00:43:26,977

No, it's just that

for a relationship to matter-

533

00:
43:27,050 -- 00:43:29,644

A relationship-

is that what we're having?

534

00:
43:29,719 -- 00:43:33,018

Two people should make-

535

00:
43:34,458 -- 00:43:36,756

Well, I think

the whole business isn't much...

536

some sort of demands on each other.
