Six Degrees Of Separation Page #12

923

00:
59:13,640 -- 00:59:15,710

Sorry!

924

00:
59:15,840 -- 00:59:20,675

- Is these all rich people?

- No. Hand-to-mouth. On a higher plateau.

925

00:
59:20,800 -- 00:59:23,917

You got to be rough

to be with rich people.

926

00:
59:24,040 -- 00:59:28,989

Gotta have money. You gotta be buyin'

'em presents an' everything all the time.

927

00:
59:29,120 -- 00:59:35,229

Not at all. When rich people do something

nice for you, you give them a pot of jam.

928

00:
59:35,360 -- 00:59:37,316

That's what pots of jam is for?

929

00:
59:37,440 -- 00:59:40,193

Orange. Grapefruit. Strawberry.

930

00:
59:40,320 -- 00:59:45,838

But fancy. They have entire stores filled

with fancy pots of jam wrapped in cloth.

931

00:
59:45,960 -- 00:59:48,235

English or French.

932

00:
59:49,600 -- 00:59:54,549

I tell you what I'm gonna do. I pick

a name, you tell me everything about 'em.

933

00:
59:54,680 -- 00:59:57,638

Where they live, secrets, everything.

934

00:
59:58,680 -- 01:00:01,035

And for every name...

935

01:
00:01,160 -- 01:00:03,720

you get a piece of my clothes.

936

01:
00:06,640 -- 01:00:08,596

All right.

937

01:
00:12,720 -- 01:00:14,312

Kittredge.

938

01:
00:14,440 -- 01:00:17,398

Talbot and Woodrow.

939

01:
00:18,760 -- 01:00:23,675

Talbot, called "Tess", was anorexic,

and was in a hospital for a while.

940

01:
00:23,800 -- 01:00:25,916

Oh, really, now?

941

01:
00:28,800 -- 01:00:32,952

Woodrow, known as "Woody",

has barbells for brains.

942

01:
00:35,200 -- 01:00:37,316

i(blows)/i

943

01:
00:37,440 -- 01:00:39,396

They parents.

944

01:
00:40,120 -- 01:00:44,079

Ouisa and Flan, for "Flanders", Kittredge.

945

01:
00:44,200 -- 01:00:47,078

Rhode Island, I believe. Newport.

946

01:
00:47,200 -- 01:00:51,557

But not along the ocean.

The street behind the ocean.

947

01:
00:51,680 -- 01:00:54,831

He's an art dealer. They have a Kandinsky.

948

01:
00:57,240 -- 01:00:58,719

Kan-what-sky?

949

01:
00:58,840 -- 01:01:00,671

A Kandinsky.

950

01:
01:00,800 -- 01:01:01,949

Uh...

951

01:
01:02,080 -- 01:01:06,756

A double-sided Kandinsky.

I feel like Scheherazade! i(laughs)/i

952

01:
01:12,640 -- 01:01:15,393

I don't want you to leave me, Paul.

953

01:
01:17,000 -- 01:01:21,676

I'll go through my address book

and I'll tell you about family after family.

954

01:
01:21,800 -- 01:01:24,473

You'll never not fit in again.

955

01:
01:25,640 -- 01:01:28,712

We'll even, uh, give you a new identity.

956

01:
01:28,840 -- 01:01:32,549

I'll make you the most sought-after

young man in the East.

957

01:
01:32,680 -- 01:01:37,231

And then, one day,

I'll come into one of these homes.

958

01:
01:37,360 -- 01:01:41,638

And you'll be there.

And I'll be presented to you.

959

01:
01:41,760 -- 01:01:45,594

And I'll pretend to meet you

for the first time.

960

01:
01:48,320 -- 01:01:51,790

And our friendship'll

be witnessed by my friends.

961

01:
01:51,920 -- 01:01:54,753

And our parents' friends.

962

01:
01:54,880 -- 01:01:58,429

And if it all happens under their noses...

963

01:
01:58,560 -- 01:02:00,710

they can't judge me.

964

01:
02:03,360 -- 01:02:05,715

And they can't disparage you.

965

01:
02:05,840 -- 01:02:08,877

I'll make you a guest in their houses.

966

01:
02:12,360 -- 01:02:14,715

Now ask me another name.

967

01:
02:14,840 -- 01:02:17,354

I'd like to try for the shirt.

968

01:
02:34,160 -- 01:02:36,151

That's enough for today.

969

01:
02:36,280 -- 01:02:38,794

iPaul stayed with me for three months./i

970

01:
02:38,920 -- 01:02:41,115

You remember little Trent Conway?

971

01:
02:41,240 -- 01:02:43,800

The kid got his address book,

with our names in it.

972

01:
02:43,920 -- 01:02:46,195

- Yeah. You could be next.

- Yes.

973

01:
02:46,320 -- 01:02:49,312

Now, this is the way you must speak.

974

01:
02:49,440 -- 01:02:52,591

Hear my accent. Hear my voice.

975

01:
02:53,560 -- 01:02:58,190

Now, you never say

you're going horseback riding.

976

01:
02:58,320 -- 01:03:00,880

- You say you're going riding.

- i(grunts)/i

977

01:
03:01,000 -- 01:03:03,798

And don't say "couch".

978

01:
03:03,920 -- 01:03:05,876

Say "sofa".

979

01:
03:07,080 -- 01:03:11,039

And you, you say "boddill".

"Have a boddill o' beer."

980

01:
03:11,160 -- 01:03:13,116

It's "bottle".

981

01:
03:14,120 -- 01:03:15,917

Say "Bottle of beer".

982

01:
03:16,880 -- 01:03:18,836

Boddill o' beer.

983

01:
03:20,120 -- 01:03:21,758

Boddill o' beer.

984

01:
03:21,880 -- 01:03:23,916

Bottle of beer.

985

01:
03:24,800 -- 01:03:26,552

Boddill of beer. What?

986

01:
03:27,560 -- 01:03:29,516

Bottle of beer.

987

01:
03:31,800 -- 01:03:34,394

Bottle... of beer.

988

01:
03:36,400 -- 01:03:38,914

We went through the address book

letter by letter.

989

01:
03:39,040 -- 01:03:41,508

Paul vanished by the Ls.

990

01:
03:41,640 -- 01:03:44,313

He took the address book with him.

991

01:
03:45,240 -- 01:03:48,835

Well... he's already

been in all your houses.

992

01:
03:49,760 -- 01:03:54,515

Maybe I will meet him again.

I sure would like to.

993

01:
03:54,640 -- 01:03:59,395

- His past? His real name?

- I don't know anything about him.

994

01:
03:59,520 -- 01:04:04,036

It was a rainy night in Boston.

He was in a doorway. That's all.

995

01:
04:04,160 -- 01:04:06,037

He took stuff from you?

996

01:
04:06,160 -- 01:04:07,957

Besides the address book?

997

01:
04:08,080 -- 01:04:12,790

He took my stereo,

my sport jacket, my word processor.

998

01:
04:12,920 -- 01:04:15,309

And my laser printer.

999

01:
04:15,440 -- 01:04:17,396

And my skis.

1000

01:
04:19,160 -- 01:04:20,878

And my TV.

1001

01:
04:21,000 -- 01:04:23,912

- Will you press charges?

- No.

1002

01:
04:24,040 -- 01:04:26,349

It's a felony.

1003

01:
04:26,480 -- 01:04:29,995

- Why do they want to find him?

- They say to help him.

1004

01:
04:30,120 -- 01:04:33,590

If there's a crime,

the cops will get involved.

1005

01:
04:33,720 -- 01:04:38,396

We really must keep in touch. We were

really good friends for a brief bit in school.

1006

01:
04:38,520 -- 01:04:40,829

- Really good.

- Won't you press charges?

1007

01:
04:40,960 -- 01:04:41,949

Oh, please.

1008

01:
04:47,760 -- 01:04:51,548

Can you believe it?

Paul learned all that in three months.

1009

01:
04:51,680 -- 01:04:57,676

Who'd have thought it? Trent Conway,

the Henry Higgins of our time.

1010

01:
04:57,800 -- 01:05:02,920

Paul must have looked at all those names

in that book and said "I am Columbus."

1011

01:
05:03,040 -- 01:05:07,318

"I am Magellan.

I will sail into this new world."

1012

01:
05:09,560 -- 01:05:12,552

I read somewhere that

everybody on this planet

1013

01:
05:12,680 -- 01:05:16,229

is separated by only six other people.

1014

01:
05:16,360 -- 01:05:20,797

Six degrees of separation between us

and everyone else on this planet.

1015

01:
05:20,920 -- 01:05:27,075

The president of the United States, a

gondolier in Venice, just fill in the names.
