Yes.

Are you nervous?

Oh, no.

I do this all the time.

I am.

What?

Nervous.

I am nervous around you.

That's ridiculous.

Good nervous,

I mean, uh, like a girl.

Well, you don't show it.

I should hope not.

Sometimes life

is... really something.

Maybe you should write

fortune cookies.

Are you alright?

I was just thinking

I never did a semester

abroad in college and I..

...really regret that now.

It was completely different.

From your expectations?

From the past.

Good.

Because I was about to say

the same.

Really?

Wow. Good for me.

Just so you know,

you're a natural lover.

Your body expresses beautifully

what's in your heart.

I'm just gonna write

that down.

Have none of the other women

you've been with

told you these things?

Uh, no.

Wow. Good for me.

How do you do that?

What?

Look like that,

in 30 seconds.

Do you have to go?

There's a fundraiser

at my children's school.

Please don't take this

the wrong way

but it suddenly seems..

...impossible to me

that you have that life.

I don't take it

the wrong way.

Actually, it seems impossible

to me too.

It will until the moment

I next see my children.

I did wanna ask you

something, if you don't mind.

What you said about belief..

...what did you mean?

Can you say more?

It's almost 7.

Will I see you tomorrow?

No. Monday.

5. The same room.

Hold on to the key.

Trust me.

Say, "Till then, then"

like you did that time.

Till then, then.

I like that.

I was way, way

too happy to write.

It was not a good weekend

for the Venetian wines.

Can no American watch

a film without popcorn?

That's right.

Do you chomp popcorn

when you read literature?

I eat sunflower seeds

and I spit the shells

into a little cup.

I cannot kiss you

goodbye outdoors.

I understand.

People can see us together.

That is permitted.

I can take your arm,

but we cannot kiss.

If those are the rules...

those are the rules.

Between the hours

of 7 and 5

I made a study

of French culture.

They seemed to be,

uh, strange people.

But then, I'm sure she thought

my people were strange too.

So I lost my virginity

on Passover.

Passover?

Yeah. Do you know what that is?

I don't know what you..

No, what does that mean?

It's a Jewish holiday.

Yeah?

Where you eat matzah,

which is unleavened bread.

Strange.

Yeah.

How was it?

Yeah. You mean the matzah?

Or my... the loss of my virginity?

The matzah, of course.

The matzah.

Yeah. Now the matzah was great.

It, matzah doesn't really

change over the years.

Sometimes

our two-hour interludes

were calm and prosaic.

Oh, no.

What?

I have some troubling news.

What?

I don't think the boat

we're controlling is our boat.
