you trust that each other's

the most important

thing in each other's

life, I think.

Yeah, but I bet you any,

any monogamous couple

in any relationship,

if they were given

the right circumstance,

the right moment, the right timing,

the right chemistry with someone else,

they would stray.

This is not about us.

I'm just saying, in general...

Would you like some more wine?

Kinsey's gonna drop me off.

Oh, ..

But you know, just, uh...

I love you, just, I'll see you at home.

I drove home positively

beside myself with enthusiasm,

convinced that she was

the acme of perfection.

What sold me?

The exquisite piano playing.

Surely someone so talented

had to have a deep and kind soul.

There and then, I first

Wanted her to be my Wife.

But it was my first kiss.

It was in Ireland and she...

she was a girl that was

introduced to me by a friend

called Jerry Lynch.

But the thing was that she'd

been observing me

and I'd actually never seen her.

This is what he asked me to do:

He said go in the middle

of a field, lie down,

cover YOU F eyes

and wait.

So I waited, waited, waited...

and then I felt hair

pour over my face...

Ohh...

- and then breath grazed my cheek...

- And lips...

against my face.

And I was so overcome by the moment

that I actually never opened my eyes.

Ohh...

and I never saw her.

Oh...

that is so sweet.

Have you ever been married?

I have, yeah.

Yeah?

Once before.

How is that?

It was wonderful in its own way,

and then it slowly but surely fizzled.

Did you ever cheat on your wife?

Um...

Your lip just quivered!

I'm a big cheat.

You're a big cheat?

Yeah.

Well, then, maybe you can

show me how, 'cause I'm really...

This is new for me.

Well, I am showing you how.

Am I not?

I mean, I'm not with somebody.

You are.

Well, I guess I'm really not

having a hard time with it then.

Are you dating anybody?

Two very bad people.

I didn't really think it was

my place to ask, so I didn't ask.

I dated people I didn't like

for a really long time

and that worked for me.

And then sex became

a little bit of a game.

A little bit of a control thing,

a power thing.

My mom is very cool.

She's a very open, bohemian...

Amsterdam; I-type

And your father?

Very closed.

Very German.

Very German.

Banker type?

I had to sneak around the corners

and wait for him to talk to me.

I had to raise my hand.

No, I'm just kidding.

No, he's, um...he's very serious

and he's, you know,

a businessman, and he is...

multi-lingual, which

makes him fascinating.

He loves poetry and literature

and he's interesting,

I just don't know him that well.

But I like him.

If I met him at a dinner party,
