- ( knocks on door ) - ( door opens )
HEY.
SO HOW ARE YOU--
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
THE SAME.
HMM, YOU'RE STILL A BIT WARM.
CAN I GET YOU SOME MORE ORANGE JUICE?
NO, THANKS.
THIS IS-- THIS IS REALLY COOL.
WHOSE POINT OF VIEW IS IT?
I DON'T KNOW.
NOBODY'S, I GUESS.
OKAY.
I WANT YOU TO GET SOME SLEEP, OKAY?
OKAY.
( exhales sharply )
( theme music playing )
THE SHOPKEEPER GAVE ME CLEAR INSTRUCTION
THAT IT SHOULD NOT STEEP MORE THAN THREE MINUTES
OR THE TEA WILL TURN BITTER.
IT SMELLS A BIT LIKE ROASTED PEANUTS.
OH, IT WILL BE MUCH MORE PLEASING, BELIEVE ME.
OH, BY THE WAY, YOU--
YOU LEFT THIS LAST WEEK.
PAUL, I SUPPOSE YOU ARE FAMILIAR
WITH THIS REALITY TELEVISION PROGRAM--
( clears throat ) "SURVIVORS"?
OH YEAH, SURE.
BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN IT.
WHAT IT IS-- TWO TEAMS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS
ARE STRANDED ON AN ISLAND.
AND THEY COMPETE IN THE MOST UNPLEASANT CONDITIONS.
THERE'S NO FOOD.
THEY HAVE TO STRUGGLE FOR WATER.
THEY HAVE TO BATTLE FOR WATER.
AND THE WOMEN WALKING AND JUMPING AROUND NAKED--
ALMOST NAKED, PRACTICALLY NAKED, WITHOUT DIGNITY.
AND DURING COMPETITION
THEY FIGHT EACH OTHER IN THE MUD
AND RUN LIKE CRAZED ANIMALS.
AND THEY DO ALL THIS WILLINGLY, PAUL.
DID YOU FIND THAT DISTURBING?
I COULD NOT HELP IMAGINING WHAT THEIR HUSBANDS,
WIVES AND CHILDREN MUST THINK, YOU KNOW.
THEY ARE WILLING TO COMPROMISE
ANY PRINCIPLE THEY MIGHT POSSESS
FOR ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
I SUPPOSE THIS IS THE COST OF ONE'S DIGNITY IN AMERICA--
ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
I'D BETTER GO BACK TO INDIA
BEFORE I START BUILDING AN OBSTACLE COURSE IN MY BEDROOM.
ARE YOU AFRAID THAT WATCHING THIS SHOW MIGHT GET TO YOU,
THAT IT MIGHT TEMPT YOU TO LOSE YOUR OWN DIGNITY?
( chuckles )
I WOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT THAT.
SO ARE YOU PLANNING TO WATCH THE SHOW AGAIN?
THURSDAY, 9:00 P.M.
I WAS JUST THINKING THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
I'VE-- I'VE EXPERIENCED
SUCH EXCITEMENT FROM YOU.
EXCITEMENT? I WAS REPELLED.
YES, BUT YOU MUST HAVE BEEN KIND OF FASCINATED TOO.
AND YOU EVEN WROTE DOWN THE TIME THAT IT AIRS
SO THAT YOU CAN WATCH IT AGAIN.
TIME.
TRY.
CAREFUL CAREFUL.
THANK YOU.
VERY GOOD.
YOU WOULD BE PLEASED WITH ME, PAUL.
- WHY? - I HAVE BEEN TRYING
TO MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO BE DIFFERENT.
- HOW SO? - I HAVE BEEN THINKING
QUITE A LOT ABOUT YOUR EXERCISE--
HOW I SHOULD BEGIN
TO EXPRESS MY FRUSTRATION.
THIS IS NOT EASY.
IT'S LIKE LEARNING TO BOWL A CRICKET BALL
WITH YOUR OPPOSITE HAND.
IT MAKES YOUR HEAD FEEL VERY HEAVY.
WELL, I'M REALLY GLAD
THAT YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
TWO NIGHTS AGO
JULIA WAS IN HER EXERCISE ROOM
ON THE SECOND FLOOR, RIGHT?
SO I WAS TRYING TO READ,
BUT I COULD NOT CONCENTRATE
BECAUSE HER MUSIC WAS SO LOUD.
I COULD-- I COULD FEEL IT
VIBRATING THROUGH THE FLOOR, YOU KNOW.
SO I THOUGHT I'LL GO DOWN AND ASK HER
IF SHE COULD PLEASE TURN THE MUSIC DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
BUT I COULD NOT BRING MYSELF TO DO THIS, PAUL,
BECAUSE SHE WAS RUNNING, BENDING, DANCING, SWEATING SO MUCH
THAT I DID NOT WANT TO EMBARRASS HER.
JULIA WAS LIKE A DESPERATE ANIMAL,
WANTING SO BADLY TO KEEP UP.
SHE WAS EVEN PUNISHING HERSELF WHEN SHE COULD NOT.
SHE WAS YELLING, "COME ON, JULIA. JULIA, COME ON.
COME ON, JULIA. JULIA, COME ON."
SO MUCH SWEATING,
SO OUT OF BREATH, YOU KNOW.
DOOM-DOOM DOOM-DOOM DOOM-DOOM DOOM-DOOM-- CONSTANT.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN HER IN THAT STATE BEFORE.
SO YOU WATCHED HER FOR-- FOR QUITE A WHILE THEN.
I SUPPOSE YOU FIND THIS AMUSING.
WHY WOULD I FIND IT AMUSING?
THE WAYS IN WHICH I CHOOSE TO SPEND MY TIME.
I DO THINK IT'S INTERESTING
THAT YOU DESCRIBED JULIA IN THE SAME WAY THAT YOU DESCRIBED
THE FEMALE TELEVISION CONTESTANTS--
DESPERATE, PRIMAL, LIKE CRAZED ANIMALS.
AND YET, EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE REPELLED,
YOU STILL KEPT WATCHING.
AND I CAN'T HELP BUT NOTICE HOW YOUR ENERGY,
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THIS TV SHOW--
I SEE THE SAME KIND OF EXCITEMENT
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT-- ABOUT JULIA.
MY EXCITEMENT, YOU SAID?
I THINK THAT'S ACCURATE.
THE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE,
YOU SPOKE ABOUT ARUN AND JULIA'S FIRST VISIT TO CALCUTTA.
DO YOU REMEMBER HOW YOU DESCRIBED HIM--
THAT HE WAS LIKE A--
AN EXCITED KID WITH A SPECIAL DESSERT,
BARELY ABLE TO BREATHE?
QUITE A VIVID IMAGE.
AND IT JUST CAME BACK TO ME NOW
AS YOU WERE TELLING THAT STORY.
INITIALLY YOU SAID YOU WERE HAPPY FOR ARUN,
THAT YOU SHARED HIS EXCITEMENT ABOUT JULIA. WOULD YOU--
MY SON, I THINK, SEEMED AMAZED, SURPRISED
THAT A WOMAN LIKE JULIA AGREED TO BE HIS WIFE.
A WOMAN LIKE JULIA-- WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
LET ME EXPLAIN IT TO YOU IN THIS WAY--
WHEN ARUN WAS AWAY AT SCHOOL,
HIS MOTHER KAMALA--
SHE HAD IDENTIFIED A BENGALI GIRL
THAT SHE THOUGHT WOULD BE A GOOD MATCH FOR HIM.
SHE CAME FROM A VERY WELL-RESPECTED BRAHMIN FAMILY,
BUT SHE WAS SOMEWHAT FAT AND NOT TERRIBLY BRIGHT.
AND HER NAME WAS AMOLIKA.
HER FACE WAS LIKE A GIANT BULLFROG.
SO NOW JULIA IS
A GREAT CONTRAST TO AMOLIKA, YOU KNOW.
- YOU HAVE SEEN HER IN PERSON. - YES.
- SHE'S-- - SHE'S NOT LIKE A BULLFROG.
- YES. - SHE'S QUITE BEAUTIFUL.
DO YOU THINK SHE'S BEAUTIFUL?
IT WAS CLEAR THAT
ARUN FELT FORTUNATE TO BE WITH HER.
WHEN THEY VISITED THAT FALL,
HE HAD TO BE NEAR HER ALL THE TIME,
AS IF HE HAD TO BE TOUCHING HER
OR SHE WOULD DISAPPEAR.
WHEN THEY WERE BEING AFFECTIONATE WITH EACH OTHER,
WAS THAT HARD FOR YOU TO WATCH?
IT WAS MORE THAN JUST AFFECTION.
ONE EVENING AT SUPPER, WE ALL WERE SITTING.
JULIA KEPT ADJUSTING HER SARI--
SHE BORROWED IT FROM KAMALA.
BECAUSE IT WAS LARGE FOR HER,
IT WAS FALLING OFF HER SHOULDER.
IT COULD BE A VERY DIFFICULT WEAR
FOR A NEW PERSON.
SO ARUN TRIED TO HELP HER SEVERAL TIMES,
HIS HANDS GRAZING HER BARE SKIN.
JULIA-- MORE THAN ONCE
SHE NUDGED HIM WITH HER ELBOW
IN A VERY PLAYFUL MANNER.
KAMALA SAW IT AND SHE WAS SO EMBARRASSED
THAT, YOU KNOW, SHE EXCUSED HERSELF FROM THE TABLE.
WERE YOU EMBARRASSED AS WELL?
I MANAGED TO STAY AT THE TABLE.
SO THE FOLLOWING MORNING--
THE MOMENT ARUN WOKE UP,
HE WENT TO MEET JULIA AT THE HOTEL.
NOW JULIA WANTED TO DO SOME KIND OF SHOPPING,
SO WE PLANNED TO MEET HER AT THE HOTEL AT LUNCH.
WE WAITED NEARLY 10 MINUTES DOWN IN THE LOBBY,
THEN I WENT UP TO THE ROOM.
SO I HEARD SOME UNUSUAL NOISES.
AT FIRST I THOUGHT
IT'S THE SOUND OF JULIA WEEPING.
THEN I REALIZED--
MY SON'S VOICE AS WELL.
YOU HEARD THEM-- YOU HEARD THEM TALKING?
NOT TALKING.
THEY WERE ENGAGED--
( stammers )
I MEAN, INTIMATE.
AND THE THINGS THEY WERE SAYING TO EACH OTHER, PAUL--
ANYWAY, SO...
I SIMPLY STOOD THERE.
AND EVENTUALLY KAMALA CAME UP AND SHE SAID,
"DO YOU REALIZE HOW LONG YOU WERE GONE?"
AND THEN SHE HEARD THEM AS WELL.
HOW LONG HAD YOU BEEN GONE?
IT WAS TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE--
THE LOOK ON HER FACE.
SHE JUST TURNED AND RAN TO THE ELEVATOR.
AFTER THAT WE DIDN'T SLEEP FOR WHOLE TWO DAYS.
AND I'VE NEVER SEEN KAMALA SO SO ANGRY AND SO UPSET.
KAMALA TRULY FELT THAT ARUN WAS MAKING
THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF HIS LIFE.
SO WAS THIS THE EVENT
THAT PRECIPITATED YOUR CONVERSATION WITH ARUN?
WERE YOU AS PASSIONATELY AGAINST THEIR ENGAGEMENT AS KAMALA?
PAUL, SEE, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR
FOR PRINCIPLED BENGALI PEOPLE, PAUL.
MAKING LOVE IN A HOTEL, HUH?
MOMENTS BEFORE YOU ARE TO MEET YOUR PARENTS FOR LUNCH?
YOU KNOW, HE IS-- HE IS OUR ONLY CHILD.
YET WHEN YOU FIRST MET JULIA, YOU WERE EXCITED FOR HIM.
I WAS EXCITED BECAUSE HE WAS EXCITED.
BUT KAMALA WAS RIGHT--
JULIA IS NOT A GOOD MATCH FOR ARUN,
AND THIS IS OBVIOUS TO ME NOW.
AND THURSDAY NIGHT
WAS THE ANNIVERSARY OF MY MARRIAGE TO KAMALA.
SO ARUN AND ME PREPARED A GARLAND OF FLOWERS--
A BEAUTIFUL GARLAND OF FLOWERS
WHICH WE ARRANGED ON KAMALA'S PHOTO.
WE ALSO PREPARED HER FAVORITE MEAL--
LAMB CURRY.
SO...
JULIA CAME. SHE CAME AND TOOK ONE BITE
AND THEN LEFT THE REST UNTOUCHED.
I THOUGHT MAYBE SHE DIDN'T LIKE IT.
IT TURNED OUT SHE WAS SAVING HER APPETITE,
GOING TO A BIG DINNER FOR A YOUNG AUTHOR, ETHAN BARR.
AND THIS UPSET ARUN?
IT WAS HIS PARENTS' ANNIVERSARY.
YES, I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT DID IT UPSET HIM?
IT CLEARLY UPSET YOU.
I THINK IT'S TERRIBLY TERRIBLY UNFORTUNATE FOR ARUN
THAT JULIA PLACES HER PERSONAL DESIRES AHEAD OF HER FAMILY.
PERSONAL DESIRES?
BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE HAD--
THAT SHE HAD A PROFESSIONAL OBLIGATION.
THIS ETHAN BARR IS QUITE YOUNG AND SUCCESSFUL,
AND HE LOOKS MORE LIKE A MOVIE STAR THAN AN AUTHOR OF A BOOK.
"THE PALE FOX" BY ETHAN BARR.
JULIA CALLS HIM SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.
THEY EVEN TALK ON THE WEEKEND.
SHE LEFT KAMALA'S DINNER
WEARING EXTREMELY SHORT DRESS--
BRIGHT GREEN AND EXTREMELY SHORT--
WITH HER HAIR FLATTERINGLY STYLED.
YOU THINK THAT SHE DRESSED LIKE THIS
FOR THIS YOUNG WRITER?
AS SHE WAS EXITING THE HOUSE,
I WAS SITTING ALONE AT THE TABLE
LOOKING AT KAMALA'S PHOTO.
SO SHE CAME AND SAT NEXT TO ME,
AND SHE LOOKED ME IN THE EYES.
SHE TOOK MY HAND
AND KISSED MY CHEEK
AND SAID SHE WAS SORRY ABOUT KAMALA.
AND SHE WAS WEARING THIS PERFUME
WHICH WAS VERY STRONG,
JUST LIKE BLACK PEPPER AND JASMINE.
ARUN SPENT THE EVENING WITH THE CHILDREN.
HE GAVE THEM THEIR BATHS,
PUT THEM TO BED.
AND THE WHOLE TIME HIS WIFE
IS OUT WITH ANOTHER MAN,
WEARING THIS PERFUME.
MUST HAVE BEEN QUITE A SURPRISE
TO HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH BY JULIA
IN SUCH AN INTIMATE WAY.
I WAS STILL STUNNED.
HOW COULD SHE LEAVE KAMALA'S DINNER SO EASILY?
AND AFTER THAT, I COULD NOT SLEEP.
LYING IN BED, I WONDERED--
EVEN ONE YEAR FROM NOW-- ONE YEAR,
ON THE NEXT ANNIVERSARY OF MY MARRIAGE TO KAMALA,
IF JULIA WOULD STILL BE AROUND.
WHERE ELSE WOULD SHE BE?
I FEAR THINGS WILL NOT TURN OUT GOOD--
GOOD FOR ARUN AND THE CHILDREN.
AND WHAT EXACTLY IS IT THAT YOU'RE AFRAID IS GOING TO HAPPEN?
SUNIL, CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
DO YOU SUSPECT
THAT JULIA IS HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH THIS WRITER?
DO YOU?
WELL, THERE'S NO WAY THAT I CAN ANSWER THAT.
PAUL, PAUL, IF WHAT YOU SUGGEST IS TRUE,
THEN JULIA WOULD BRING GREAT SHAME
UPON THE FAMILY AND--
AND WHAT?
SHE WOULD DESERVE A HARSH PUNISHMENT.
A HARSH PUNISHMENT?
WHAT-- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THAT IN CERTAIN CULTURES INFIDELITY--
NO NO, THE SYSTEM-- THE SYSTEM IN AMERICA
HAS TURNED THE HUMAN BEING INTO CONSUMING MONSTERS.
YOU KNOW, THEY JUST WANT TO PURSUE
THEIR IMMEDIATE--
IMMEDIATE DESIRES AT ALL COST.
THEY WILL-- THEY WILL FEAST ON WHATEVER--
WHATEVER WILL FILL THEIR CRAVING,
BELIEVING THAT THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES.
DON'T GET ME WRONG, PAUL--
I'M AWARE FROM EXPERIENCE
THAT TO BE DISCIPLINED IS NOT EASY.
IT CAN BE A STRUGGLE SOMETIMES THAT--
TO PUT ONE'S FAMILY AND HONOR
OVER PERSONAL GRATIFICATION,
BUT IT MUST BE DONE.
THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN THIS.
WELL, YOU CLEARLY HAVE
SOME PRETTY INTENSE FEELINGS ON THIS TOPIC.
DOES MY INTENSITY MAKE YOU NERVOUS?
NO NO, IT'S JUST I--
I JUST WONDER WHERE IT COMES FROM.
YOU SAID YOU KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE
HOW BEING DISCIPLINED ISN'T EASY.
WELL, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT?
WHAT EXPERIENCE WERE YOU REFERRING TO?
WHEN I WAS AN UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT, I--
I BECAME CLOSE TO A FEMALE CLASSMATE.
OKAY, AND THIS WAS
BEFORE YOU MET KAMALA?
THREE MONTHS BEFORE, YES.
SO WE MET IN THE LIBRARY.
WE WERE SEATED BESIDE EACH OTHER AT A STUDY TABLE.
BUT I COULD NOT CONCENTRATE
BECAUSE HER FACE AND HER HAIR--
YOU MUST BE AWARE OF THIS PAINTING BY EL GRECO--
"THE LADY WITH A FLOWER IN HER HAIR."
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PAINTING.
IT'S-- THE WOMAN'S FACE
IS FILLED-- FILLED WITH LONGING.
SORRY, WHAT WAS YOUR CLASSMATE'S NAME?
- MALINI. - MALINI.
I CONVINCED HER TO JOIN ME FOR LUNCH.
AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT WE--
WE FOUND OURSELVES SPENDING NEARLY EVERY MOMENT TOGETHER.
YOU WERE A COUPLE.
A COUPLE?
YOU WERE TOGETHER.
YEAH, TOGETHER.
AND WHAT HAPPENED TO MALINI?
SUNIL, WHAT HAPPENED TO MALINI?
WE STOPPED-- WE STOPPED SEEING EACH OTHER
BEFORE GRADUATION.
THINGS BECAME VERY INTENSE QUITE QUICKLY.
WE BROKE OFF THE RELATIONSHIP AND WITHIN A YEAR
KAMALA AND I WERE MARRIED.
AND THIS IS-- THIS IS WHAT HAD TO BE DONE.
SEE, MALINI AND I WERE NOT SUITED FOR EACH OTHER, PAUL.
SHE WAS NOT FROM A BRAHMIN FAMILY,
AND IT WAS NOT MEANT TO BE.
SO YOU CHOSE TO BE WITH SOMEBODY
FROM THE SAME CASTE.
HONORING THE DIGNITY OF MY FAMILY
WAS IMPORTANT TO ME.
HAVE YOU EVER TOLD ANYBODY ABOUT MALINI?
NO NO NO.
I HAVE NOT TOLD A SINGLE PERSON
ABOUT MALINI IN 30 YEARS.
NOT EVEN KAMALA?
NO NO NO, YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON I'M TELLING, PAUL.
I-- I HAD CONSIDERED
TELLING ARUN WHEN HE CAME TO CALCUTTA, BUT--
BUT YOU CHOSE NOT TO.
NO. PAUL,
YOU MUST NEVER SPEAK TO ANYONE OF THIS.
OF COURSE NOT.
YOU MUST PROMISE ME.
SUNIL, I GIVE YOU MY SOLEMN WORD
THAT WHATEVER YOU SAY IN HERE STAYS BETWEEN US.
ARE THERE ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
IN WHICH YOU MIGHT DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION?
ONLY IN THE MOST EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
IT MEANS THAT THE ONLY TIME I WOULD BETRAY THE CONFIDENCE OF A PATIENT
IS IF I FELT SOMEBODY MIGHT BE IN DANGER,
INCLUDING THE PATIENT.
I PROMISE YOU THAT EVERYTHING YOU SHARE IN HERE IS SAFE.
( lighter flicking )
DO YOU EVER WISH YOU TOLD YOUR SON ABOUT MALINI?
IT WOULD NOT HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE.
HE WOULD HAVE SIMPLY TOLD ME, "YOU MADE THE WRONG CHOICE.
YOU GAVE UP ON YOUR PASSION."
AND HE WOULD HAVE MARRIED JULIA ANYWAY.
DO YOU THINK ARUN WAS RIGHT--
THAT...
MAYBE YOU DID MAKE THE WRONG CHOICE?
NO NO.
NO, I DO NOT REGRET THE CHOICE I MADE.
I HAVE-- I HAVE NO PATIENCE FOR THOSE
WHO DO NOT LIVE A PRINCIPLED LIFE.
YOU DOUBT ME?
NO.
YOU SEEM A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS ABOUT MY ANSWER.
I'M NOT SUSPICIOUS.
I JUST THINK THAT IT'S POSSIBLE
TO BE--
TO FEEL SEVERAL THINGS AT THE SAME TIME--
CONFLICTED EMOTIONS.
I'M SURE THAT KAMALA WAS
A WONDERFUL, SUPPORTIVE WIFE TO YOU
AND YOU HONOR HER MEMORY
WITH DIGNITY.
BUT IT'S ALSO POSSIBLE
THAT YOU MAY BE EXPERIENCING REGRET
OVER YOUR DECISION
TO END THINGS WITH MALINI.
THEY'RE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE EMOTIONS.
I GOT THE SENSE THAT YOU--
THAT YOU WERE DISTURBED
WHEN-- WHEN-- WHEN-- WHEN YOU HEARD
YOUR SON AND JULIA
MAKING LOVE IN THEIR HOTEL ROOM.
BUT YOU STAYED AND YOU LISTENED.
I LISTENED BECAUSE
IT WAS LIKE LISTENING TO A DISASTER.
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
AND I WOULD UNDERSTAND YOU FEELING CRITICAL
OF YOUR SON'S MARRIAGE,
BUT AT THE SAME TIME
INTRIGUED,
FASCINATED,
MAYBE EVEN
A LITTLE
JEALOUS.
WHY WOULD I BE JEALOUS OF A MARRIAGE
IN WHICH A VAIN AND IMMODEST WIFE
IS HAVING A LOVE AFFAIR WITH ANOTHER MAN?
YOU SEEM CONVINCED THAT JULIA IS HAVING AN AFFAIR.
TO ME IT'S OBVIOUS.
SHE'S LIVING HER LIFE FOR SOME OTHER PERSON.
AND DO YOU THINK IT'S OBVIOUS TO YOUR SON?
THAT I'M NOT SURE. I'M NOT CERTAIN.
DO YOU THINK HE'S JEALOUS OF THIS OTHER GUY?
( clears throat )
HE HAS SAID NOTHING OF BEING JEALOUS.
WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT JULIA EARLIER ON,
YOU TALKED ABOUT HER IN DETAIL--
THE LENGTH OF HER SKIRT,
WHICH YOU SAID IT WAS SHORT,
THAT SHE HAD HER HAIR DONE IN A PARTICULAR WAY,
AND HER PERFUME.
AND...
SHE TOOK YOUR HAND AND KISSED YOU.
IT'S JUST A SENSE THAT I HAVE
THAT YOU
MIGHT FEEL BETRAYED BY JULIA--
NOT JUST ON YOUR SON'S BEHALF,
BUT PERSONALLY.
( laughs )
( stifled laughing )
( clears throat )
OH.
( clears throat )
WHAT AN INTERESTING TEA WE HAVE HAD.
PAUL...
PLEASE CHECK IF THE AMOUNT IS RIGHT.
WILL YOU PLEASE?
IS IT CORRECT?
I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'M SORRY ABOUT
HOW THE OTHER EVENING TURNED OUT FOR YOU.
I--
I'M SURE THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY WITHOUT YOUR WIFE
MUST HAVE BEEN-- MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY TOUGH FOR YOU.
AND--
THANK YOU.
