Six Degrees Of Separation Page #13

1016

01:
05:28,760 -- 01:05:31,558

I find that extremely comforting

that we're so close,

1017

01:
05:31,680 -- 01:05:36,834

but... I also find it like Chinese water

torture that we're so close,

1018

01:
05:36,960 -- 01:05:43,399

because you have to find the right

six people to make the connection.

1019

01:
05:43,520 -- 01:05:45,954

It's not just big names, it's anyone.

1020

01:
05:46,080 -- 01:05:50,949

A native in a rainforest,

a Tierra del Fuegan, an Eskimo.

1021

01:
05:51,080 -- 01:05:53,799

I am bound - you are bound -

1022

01:
05:53,920 -- 01:05:58,072

to everyone on this planet

by a trail of six people.

1023

01:
06:01,200 -- 01:06:04,476

It's a profound thought.

1024

01:
06:04,600 -- 01:06:07,751

How Paul found us.

1025

01:
06:07,880 -- 01:06:14,274

How to find the man whose son he claims

to be, or perhaps is. Although I doubt it.

1026

01:
06:14,400 -- 01:06:19,428

How everyone is a new door

opening into other worlds.

1027

01:
06:19,560 -- 01:06:25,999

Six degrees of separation between us

and everyone else on this planet.

1028

01:
06:27,720 -- 01:06:31,679

But... to find the right six people.

1029

01:
06:32,960 -- 01:06:34,916

- Hi, Ouisa.

- Hi!

1030

01:
06:35,040 -- 01:06:36,917

- Still going to Rome?

- Tomorrow!

1031

01:
06:37,040 -- 01:06:39,554

- Are you going to the Sistine Chapel?

- It's closed.

1032

01:
06:39,680 -- 01:06:42,478

- Cleaning it.

- When in Rome...

1033

01:
06:42,600 -- 01:06:45,194

You must know these people.

1034

01:
06:46,320 -- 01:06:48,959

- Oh!

- Oh, wonderful.

1035

01:
06:49,080 -- 01:06:54,029

I've always wanted to meet him.

We'll call him just as soon as we get in.

1036

01:
07:11,200 -- 01:07:14,670

i(Flan) Rome is always remarkable,/i

ibut to see the Sistine Chapel like this!/i

1037

01:
07:14,800 -- 01:07:17,189

i(Ouisa)/i

iTo stand at the top of the scaffolding!/i

1038

01:
07:17,320 -- 01:07:20,995

The colours... are vibrant.

1039

01:
07:21,120 -- 01:07:24,112

We went to Rome on business,

but, thanks to Michelangelo...

1040

01:
07:24,240 -- 01:07:27,915

- I think I have a buyer for that piece.

- I don't think I want to sell.

1041

01:
07:28,040 -- 01:07:30,190

They restored the chapel.

1042

01:
07:30,320 -- 01:07:34,711

They've taken off years of smoke

and tourists, and now it's brand-new.

1043

01:
07:34,840 -- 01:07:36,796

Staggering.

1044

01:
07:37,800 -- 01:07:39,995

But what happened

to Sidney Poitier's son?

1045

01:
07:40,120 -- 01:07:43,078

We put all of that out of our heads.

1046

01:
07:43,640 -- 01:07:47,315

The package would be more lucrative

for you if you included that piece.

1047

01:
07:47,440 -- 01:07:49,715

- I've heard so many stories.

- Like what?

1048

01:
07:49,840 -- 01:07:53,310

- That he stole money and jewellery.

- No! Never!

1049

01:
07:54,120 -- 01:07:56,680

Can we get down to business, please?

1050

01:
07:56,800 -- 01:07:58,552

- Good day.

- Ah!

1051

01:
07:59,640 -- 01:08:04,589

All right. I am humiliated,

but what the hell.

1052

01:
08:05,640 -- 01:08:09,792

iThe day after we came back from Rome,/i

iwe were stepping out of a taxi from lunch./i

1053

01:
08:09,920 -- 01:08:14,152

Our doorman, whom we tip at Christmas

and any time he does anything nice for us,

1054

01:
08:14,280 -- 01:08:18,478

our doorman spit at my husband,

J Flanders Kittredge. He spit at him!

1055

01:
08:18,600 -- 01:08:20,511

Thank you, Maurice. Ooh!

1056

01:
08:20,640 -- 01:08:23,598

Darling, they don't

need to know every detail.

1057

01:
08:23,720 -- 01:08:26,234

- I know all about your son.

- What about my son?

1058

01:
08:26,360 -- 01:08:29,511

Not the little sh*t that lives here.

The secret son.

1059

01:
08:29,640 -- 01:08:31,870

- The Negro son you deny!

- Negro son?

1060

01:
08:32,000 -- 01:08:35,231

The son you make live in Central Park

while you're gallivanting!

1061

01:
08:35,360 -- 01:08:38,193

- Do you have a black son?

- No!

1062

01:
08:39,520 -- 01:08:42,717

This is how rumours

get started and set in cement.

1063

01:
08:42,840 -- 01:08:44,637

- The girl told me everything.

- Who?

1064

01:
08:44,760 -- 01:08:46,398

- She wants her money.

- Who?

1065

01:
08:46,520 -- 01:08:50,672

I'm keeping her in a safe place.

Come, come, come.

1066

01:
09:01,120 -- 01:09:03,236

The next chapter.

1067

01:
09:06,360 -- 01:09:09,352

My boyfriend and I

took a picnic into the park.

1068

01:
09:09,880 -- 01:09:12,474

So, do they have any

black people in Utah?

1069

01:
09:12,600 -- 01:09:15,398

- Maybe two.

- I saw them once. Two black people.

1070

01:
09:15,520 -- 01:09:18,159

The Mormons brought in two.

1071

01:
09:18,280 -- 01:09:21,158

- Do you think it'll hurt me?

- What'll hurt you?

1072

01:
09:21,280 -- 01:09:23,840

My resemblance to Liv Ullmann.

1073

01:
09:25,120 -- 01:09:28,635

She won the all-state competition

for comedy and drama.

1074

01:
09:28,760 -- 01:09:31,399

Really? My gosh!

1075

01:
09:33,240 -- 01:09:36,198

The quality of mercy is not strained.

1076

01:
09:36,320 -- 01:09:39,312

It droppeth like

the gentle rain from heaven.

1077

01:
09:42,520 -- 01:09:44,238

Yeah.

1078

01:
09:44,360 -- 01:09:46,920

And we study. And we wait tables.

1079

01:
09:47,040 -- 01:09:49,110

Cos you have to have technique.

1080

01:
09:49,240 -- 01:09:50,878

Like the painters.

1081

01:
09:51,000 -- 01:09:55,232

Czanne looked for the rules behind

the spontaneity of Impressionism.

1082

01:
09:55,360 -- 01:09:58,272

- That's a painter?

- We know nothing about painting.

1083

01:
09:58,400 -- 01:10:00,356

My dad loves painting.

1084

01:
10:00,480 -- 01:10:03,916

He has a Kandinsky,

but he loves Czanne the most.

1085

01:
10:04,040 -- 01:10:06,156

- He lives up there.

- What?

1086

01:
10:06,280 -- 01:10:09,955

Yeah. Count. Six windows down.

On the corner.

1087

01:
10:10,840 -- 01:10:13,593

John Flanders Kittredge.

1088

01:
10:13,720 -- 01:10:16,188

His chums call him "Flan".

1089

01:
10:16,320 -- 01:10:20,632

I was the child of Flan's hippie days.

His radical days.

1090

01:
10:20,760 -- 01:10:23,911

He went down South as a freedom

marcher to register black voters.

1091

01:
10:24,040 -- 01:10:27,112

- You did?

- No!

1092

01:
10:27,240 -- 01:10:31,756

Can't you just see me marching

down South for freedom now?

1093

01:
10:31,880 -- 01:10:33,677

Yes. Yes, I can.

1094

01:
10:33,800 -- 01:10:37,554

His friends were killed.

He met my mother and registered her.

1095

01:
10:37,680 -- 01:10:40,752

Married her in a fit of righteousness,

knocked her up with me,

1096

01:
10:40,880 -- 01:10:42,950

and came back here and abandoned her.

1097

01:
10:43,080 -- 01:10:45,435

You didn't!

1098

01:
10:45,560 -- 01:10:47,198

Flan, shame.

1099

01:
10:47,320 -- 01:10:50,278

He's now a fancy art dealer.

1100

01:
10:51,720 -- 01:10:54,109

Won't see me.

1101

01:
10:54,240 -- 01:10:56,515

The new wife, the white wife,

1102

01:
10:56,640 -- 01:11:01,395
