it's not right, right now.

That's too light.

- ls it warm in here?

- Warm?

Warm.

Where's the bathroom?

- The bathroom?

- Right there.

Leave a little air.

l love you. l love you.

Say it in French. Please say it in French.

- l don't know French.

- Oh, please. Please.

What about Hebrew?

l was... l was always very shy

when it came to girls.

l remember when l was a little boy,

l once stole a pornographic book

that was printed in Braille.

l used to rub the dirty parts.

And l... l guess l had a good

relationship with my parents.

l... They very rarely hit...

l think they hit me once, actually,

in my whole childhood.

They started beating me

on the 23rd December 1942

and stopped beating me

in the late spring of '44.

l was a nervous child.

l was a bed-wetter.

When l was younger,

l used to sleep with an electric blanket

and l was constantly electrocuting myself.

lt's funny, l had this dream

that l've had since l was a child.

l had it again one night last week.

Where l'm...

l have to tell you something

and l don't know how to break it.

- Fielding...

- Why? ls something the matter?

Have you seen X-rays of me?

l saw X-rays of you.

- l fail to see the humour of this.

- You didn't see the X-rays.

- Tell me what's the matter.

- Nothing.

You know when your heart beats?

Well, my heart is beating.

l just don't think we should

see each other any more.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- l'm sorry.

- Why? What's the matter?

There's just something missing

for me and l don't know what.

What do you mean?

Something missing from me?

- Yes.

- What do you mean? Like what?

Like...

Can you say what is missing from me?

No. Maybe if you could guess

a few things, l could try.

- What do you mean? Can you tell me?

- l don't know what's missing.

- ls it personality or looks?

- Well, no.

- Am l not smart enough?

- No.

- Because l'm not...

- No.

lt has nothing to do with height?

lt has nothing to do

with the fact you're short

or the fact that you're not bright enough.

Nothing to do with the fact

that your teeth are in bad shape.

So what, then? l don't understand.

Has it got to do with...

lt's not my personality.

Do you have fun when you're with me?

No... But it's not that.

lt's not that l don't have fun with you...

We have fun when we laugh.

Don't tell me that we haven't laughed.

- lt's not that we haven't laughed.

- Certainly l laugh a lot.

- Sometimes you don't laugh and...

- l can't put my finger on it.

- Something's missing.

- What? Can you be specific?

The relationship isn't going anywhere.

- Where do you want to it go?

- Where could we get it to go?

That's not... l don't know where.

l love you.
