275

00:
24:10,756 -- 00:24:14,005

iWell, of course I love my husband,/i

iwho is also a doctor./i

276

00:
24:14,197 -- 00:24:16,439

iPlastic surgeon/i

ifor small farm animals./i

277

00:
24:16,626 -- 00:24:18,741

iGood. I'm married too./i

278

00:
24:18,929 -- 00:24:22,112

iI've got eight children,/i

iand none of them look like me./i

279

00:
24:22,308 -- 00:24:25,220

i- I'm worried, Kate./i

i- I would be too./i

280

00:
24:25,595 -- 00:24:26,883

iI'm single./i

281

00:
24:27,655 -- 00:24:29,276

iMe too./i

282

00:
24:32,107 -- 00:24:33,793

iNumber 27./i

283

00:
24:33,981 -- 00:24:35,971

iShe's a beauty./i

iMy father used to tell me.../i

284

00:
24:36,162 -- 00:24:38,802

i... she was the grandma/i

ifor all the houses in the city./i

285

00:
24:39,020 -- 00:24:42,181

iHe used to take me on walks/i

ilike I'm taking you now./i

286

00:
24:42,582 -- 00:24:45,588

i- Alex?/i

i- Kate?/i

287

00:
24:45,778 -- 00:24:48,387

iI wish we could have/i

idone this walk together./i

288

00:
25:02,273 -- 00:25:03,928

So, what do you think?

289

00:
25:04,208 -- 00:25:06,450

He sounds like a nice boy.

290

00:
25:06,605 -- 00:25:09,089

Sounds like a nice boy.

Anything else?

291

00:
25:09,279 -- 00:25:12,346

- He has wonderful penmanship.

- Mother...

292

00:
25:12,502 -- 00:25:14,712

...look at the date on the letter.

The date.

293

00:
25:14,899 -- 00:25:16,271

- You mean the time thing?

- Yes.

294

00:
25:16,496 -- 00:25:18,886

- That's just a detail.

- Just a detail?

295

00:
25:27,249 -- 00:25:30,097

About the...

The other day...

296

00:
25:30,321 -- 00:25:34,803

...it was not a good moment.

I was in a hell of a hurry.

297

00:
25:35,113 -- 00:25:36,610

Of course.

298

00:
25:37,908 -- 00:25:39,898

You've got some nice pieces here.

299

00:
25:40,090 -- 00:25:43,586

Oh, yeah. Music's fine, music helps.

300

00:
25:44,235 -- 00:25:45,764

It's like Nietzsche says:

301

00:
25:45,987 -- 00:25:48,994

- "Life would be senseless..."

- "Without music."

302

00:
25:49,828 -- 00:25:51,578

I guess I told you that, huh?

303

00:
25:51,764 -- 00:25:53,081

Pour yourself a drink.

304

00:
25:53,267 -- 00:25:56,273

Can you appreciate

a good wine by now?

305

00:
25:56,462 -- 00:25:58,212

You bet.

306

00:
25:58,982 -- 00:26:01,831

You know, you'll have to forgive

your father for being curious...

307

00:
26:02,024 -- 00:26:04,934

...but where have you been

all these years?

308

00:
26:05,247 -- 00:26:08,254

I thought your Kerouac days

were behind you.

309

00:
26:09,181 -- 00:26:11,757

- I'm sorry, what?

- What?

310

00:
26:12,898 -- 00:26:15,190

Oh, you can come up, if you like.

311

00:
26:23,219 -- 00:26:24,716

What are you working on?

312

00:
26:24,877 -- 00:26:27,694

Oh, I'm just...

I'm just remembering things.

313

00:
26:27,918 -- 00:26:30,370

It's not such an easy job,

let me tell you.

314

00:
26:30,561 -- 00:26:33,296

Nor is it particularly innocent,

in my case.

315

00:
26:33,481 -- 00:26:36,579

Your father is writing his memoirs.

316

00:
26:38,147 -- 00:26:39,677

- Are we in it?

- What do you think?

317

00:
26:39,839 -- 00:26:41,462

Do you wanna be?

318

00:
26:42,512 -- 00:26:43,800

Do you?

319

00:
26:44,016 -- 00:26:47,325

Of course.

You were all a part of your father's life.

320

00:
26:48,500 -- 00:26:50,428

Why are you talking to me

in the third person?

321

00:
26:50,590 -- 00:26:52,120

Well, I... I don't...

322

00:
26:52,341 -- 00:26:55,408

Because I'm writing about myself,

I suppose. Why, doesn't it suit you?

323

00:
26:58,055 -- 00:27:01,271

I thought you might like these.

324

00:
27:03,032 -- 00:27:05,146

What are these?

Something you've been working on?

325

00:
27:05,333 -- 00:27:07,974

No, they're... They're yours.

326

00:
27:08,161 -- 00:27:11,901

From a house I just bought

on the lake.

327

00:
27:12,862 -- 00:27:16,296

Oh, yes, I heard. They said

some sleazy little condo developer...

328

00:
27:16,485 -- 00:27:18,318

...had snapped it up.

329

00:
27:18,667 -- 00:27:21,673

Oh, come on. Indulge your father.

330

00:
27:21,863 -- 00:27:24,618

Can't you take a little joke,

for God's sake?

331

00:
27:24,935 -- 00:27:26,588

Come on.

332

00:
27:26,744 -- 00:27:28,337

Tell me.

333

00:
27:28,773 -- 00:27:30,795

Where have you been?

I really want to know.

334

00:
27:31,016 -- 00:27:33,310

I was trying to forget you.

335

00:
27:34,919 -- 00:27:37,064

Or forgive you.

336

00:
27:38,296 -- 00:27:40,286

Did you succeed?

337

00:
27:42,413 -- 00:27:43,974

No.

338

00:
27:47,973 -- 00:27:50,759

Let me know

if you need any help remembering.

339

00:
27:52,613 -- 00:27:55,430

Oh, yeah, I will.

340

00:
27:56,146 -- 00:27:59,485

Charging 360. Get 1 milligram of epi.

Have 300 amio ready in case we need it.

341

00:
27:59,677 -- 00:28:02,096

- All clear?

- Clear.

342

00:
28:04,101 -- 00:28:06,029

Hold compression, start bagging.

343

00:
28:06,223 -- 00:28:07,415

He's got a rhythm. Slow.

344

00:
28:07,601 -- 00:28:09,991

- Do we have a pulse with that?

- We got a pulse, thready.

345

00:
28:10,213 -- 00:28:11,964

- It's getting stronger.

i- Long days, these days./i

346

00:
28:12,149 -- 00:28:14,663

iI just worked 30 hours straight./i

347

00:
28:14,853 -- 00:28:17,148

iEvery time I stop to take a breath.../i

348

00:
28:17,341 -- 00:28:20,346

i... I realize how isolated/i

iI've let myself become./i

349

00:
28:20,505 -- 00:28:25,051

iBelieve me,/i

iyou can get a bit desperate./i

350

00:
28:26,557 -- 00:28:28,828

That one? Okay. There you go.

351

00:
28:29,013 -- 00:28:32,879

Nice move. Very nice. Nice.

352

00:
28:35,313 -- 00:28:38,098

iIt's not that I'm complaining,/i

iI love my work./i

353

00:
28:38,322 -- 00:28:42,312

iAnd our tour through Chicago/i

iopened my eyes to its beauty./i

354

00:
28:42,500 -- 00:28:45,203

iBut my heart still misses/i

ithe lake house.../i

355

00:
28:45,388 -- 00:28:47,409

i... and its trees./i

356

00:
28:48,246 -- 00:28:50,663

iI miss those trees so much./i

357

00:
30:01,785 -- 00:30:05,033

iDon't worry, Kate./i

iWe'll be together in time./i

358

00:
30:05,257 -- 00:30:08,326

iEven if we're far apart,/i

iI'll find a way to be close to you.../i

359

00:
30:08,514 -- 00:30:10,379

i... and take care of you./i

360

00:
30:15,333 -- 00:30:16,988

Katerina.

361

00:
30:18,314 -- 00:30:19,937

Take this.

362

00:
30:20,373 -- 00:30:23,011

- You should eat more. You too skinny.

- I'm not too skinny.

363

00:
30:23,166 -- 00:30:26,173

Remember how you used to eat

when you were little?

364

00:
30:26,361 -- 00:30:27,954

- With your hands.

- Yes, I remember.

365

00:
30:28,145 -- 00:30:30,753

Now, did you or did you not

write to each other?

366

00:
30:31,094 -- 00:30:32,842

- To your father?

- No, to Clark Gable.

367

00:
30:33,057 -- 00:30:35,446

Yes, to Dad.

368

00:
30:37,697 -- 00:30:39,290

I...

369

00:
30:41,538 -- 00:30:42,939

What, Mom?
