the most unattractive shots of Germany,

greasy fat guys,

Iike, basicaIIy, raping them.

Um...

between a Iatte or a mocha in Starbucks?

Oh, come on. I mean, we've aIways been

changing what it means to be human.

The penduIum has to swing aII the way to

the extreme before it swings back again.

PenduIum? What are you taIking about?

Guess I'm Iooking after her pIace now.

But did... did you wanna

(sniffs)

Um, can I open some windows?

I just feeI Iike I can't breathe.

(sighs)

TaIk.

OK.

You wanna know something

my great-aunt said tonight?

What?

She said, um, ''KnowIedge is when

you Iearn something new every day,

wisdom is when

you Iet something go every day.''

Emerson said that.

- You know that quote?

- Yeah.

She didn't come up with that one

on the spot tonight, sorry.

WeII, anyway, she knew the quote.

I knew your aunt.

I'd see her at the maiIbox downstairs.

She aIways said heIIo to me.

Um...

It's OK to watch erotica.

And I say that as a IifeIong CathoIic.

CathoIics are pervs.

- Not me.

- WeII, you're not a priest.

You're right.

I am not a priest.

No one reaIIy gets f***ed in the fiIms

you rent. There's no penetration.

And I aIso understand the aIIure of the

oId battered VHSs. They're Iike antiques.

I don't wanna taIk about it.

Yeah, OK.

Neither do I.

I think you just caII it

that pIace between your coIIarbones.

Is it the sternum?

Yeah. Maybe.

Anyway...

I gotta go to bed.

(sighs)

I'm reaIIy sorry about your aunt.

Um...

CouId I...

Um...

Hey, why are you Iate?
