I'd like to know why.
I was just-- I was fidgeting
with Isabelle's lighter...
and... I wasn't
really realizing it...
then I noticed,
and I thought it was rude...
so I put it down on the table.
But I put it diagonally across
one of these squares.
Do you see?
Look.
That's when I noticed
that the lighter's length...
is exactly the same length
as the diagonal itself.
So I put it lengthwise,
along the outside edge.
- Look. It fits there too.
- Yeah.
But it fits there.
And it fits like this
and like this...
and this way too.
And I bet you if
I just split it in half...
you know, it's
got to fit somewhere.
I mean, it really
fits anywhere. Look.
See?
I was noticing that the more
you look at everything--
this table, the objects on it,
the refrigerator, this room...
your nose, the world
Suddenly...
you realize that there's some
sort of cosmic harmony...
of shapes and sizes.
I was just wondering why.
I don't know why that is.
I know that it is.
You have an interesting
friend here.
More interesting, I suspect,
than you know.
I mean, when we look around us,
what is it we see?
Complete chaos.
Yet viewed from above...
viewed, as it were,
by God...
everything suddenly
fits together.
their demonstrations and sit-ins...
and happenings...
what, they believe that these possess
the capacity...
not only to provoke society,
but also to transform it.
What is it you're saying?
If Langlois is dismissed,
we shouldn't do anything?
If immigrants are deported,
we shouldn't do anything?
What I'm saying is that
a little lucidity would not go amiss.
So, uh,
everyone's wrong but you?
In France, in Italy,
Germany, America?
Listen to me, Theo.
Before you can change the world...
you must realize
you yourself are part of it.
looking in.
You're the one
who stands outside.
You're the one who refused to sign
a petition against the Vietnam War.
Poets don't sign petitions.
They sign poems.
A petition is a poem.
Yes! And a poem is a petition.
Thank you, but I'm not gaga yet.
I don't need you to remind me
of my own work!
- Hmm?
- That's right.
A petition is a poem,
a poem is a petition.
- Yes.
- Those are the most famous lines you ever wrote.
And now look at you.
I hope I'll never be like him.
Theo.
We should say good night, darling.
We got a long day
ahead of us tomorrow.
George.
Yes, sorry. You were saying?
We should go to bed.
You had something
to tell the children, didn't you?
Yes, of course.
I'm sorry.
The cheques
are on the mantelpiece.
Don't cash them
until you need them, all right?
Good night, everybody.
