I'll be too tired.
I'll help you
get over your folks.
How about it, Susan?
What are you so afraid of?
Not you.
( bell tolling )
I think I'm in love.
Mmm...
I think I'm in love.
Bullshit artist.
Did you get in yet?
What's that got
to do with it?
How do you know
if you don't know
how you are
in bed together?
Well, that's
not everything.
It's a lot.
She tells me thoughts
I didn't even
know I had until
she tells them to me.
It's unbelievable.
I can talk to her.
You can talk to me too.
Are you in love with me?
I can say things
to her
I wouldn't dare
say to you.
What, for instance?
Things you'd laugh at.
I'm laughing now.
( laughing )
She thinks
I'm sensitive.
Sensitive?
( laughs )
Sensitive?
Oh, boy!
Whoa-ho!
What do you talk
to her about, flowers?
Books.
Books?
You phony,
I read more books
than you do.
Yeah, well,
I'm gonna start.
I'm reading
"The Fountainhead."
"The Fountainhead."
What's that?
It's her
favorite book.
You ever hear of
"Jean-Christophe"?
What's that?
It's a classic,
you moron.
Gonna read it after
"The Fountainhead."
Yeah, you ever read
"Guadalcanal Diary"
- by Richard Tregaskis?
- No.
That was a best seller
and I read it.
Ever read
"Gentleman's Agreement"
by Laura Z. Hobson?
You ever read
"A Bell For Adano"
by John Hersey?
I'm gonna read
everything from now on.
I read more than you do.
So who's the one
who's sensitive?
You or me?
Come on,
who's sensitive?
I've had a very
messed-up childhood.
What does
your father do?
He fails.
- ( chuckles )
- It's not funny.
I'm sorry.
Were you very poor?
My father couldn't
hold on to a job.
He kept giving
me advice.
The more he failed,
the more advice I got.
He's a Communist,
my father.
We're Republicans.
Sometimes I think
I'm a Communist, though.
Me, too.
We have so much,
you know,
so little.
After I get set up
as a lawyer,
what I'd really
like to do is go
into politics,
public service.
What really
gets me is I was
too young to fight
in the war, because
what was that all about
except to prove that
if everybody
pitches in,
the plain people
have a chance.
So, even though
I'm the first
in my family to
get an education,
I don't ever
want to forget
where I came from.
You're a lot more
serious than I thought.
I know.
Sandy:
Where didyou meet her?
Jonathan:
I'm another person
with her.
You wouldn't
recognize me.
The things that
come out of my mouth.
Boy, she really
sounds like something.
Is she built?
She's, uh...
she's got a quality.
She doesn't talk much,
but the things
she says are so sharp.
We should
double-date sometime.
