Well, he is a lucky man

to have you on his side.

No, actually, I'm the lucky man,

'cause this guy I'm telling you...

This... He's... This guy's the real thing.

He is just an incredible human being.

Well, maybe bring him to us

as a guest lecturer.

- If you say he's good...

- Next time he's in town.

And we should make an evening out of it.

- Sounds like a plan, Norman.

- Good. Good. Done.

I'm heading home. Are you staying?

Yeah, I want to listen a bit.

It relaxes me.

Enjoy.

Hello, sir.

Is it too late to call?

No. No, no. Not at all. No.

I just got back from Arthur's dinner.

Really wonderful.

Oh.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it.

It was a crazy day.

I'm... I'm... I'm really sorry.

No, no. Don't worry about it. It's okay.

It's okay.

No apologies necessary.

We'll find another opportunity.

I told Arthur all about you.

I feel terrible.

- No.

- Do you forgive me, Norman?

(CHUCKLES)

Please, don't give it...

Don't give it another thought.

- It's fine.

- Are you sure?

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm positive.

I... I want you to know

how much I appreciate

what you did for me today.

I really do. It was...

Nice.

I'm glad.

- Me, too.

- Yeah.

Thank you, Norman.

No, thank you. Thank you.

- Mr. Eshel?

- How do you say galgal anak in English?

You know, the big wheel

in the amusement park, like in London...

A Ferris wheel? It's a Ferris wheel.

Ferris. Ferris, yes. Ferris wheel.

Yeah.

Sometimes you are up

and sometimes you are down.

I just wanted to say that to you, Norman.

I've tasted it on my tongue.

Being on top of everything.

Once you taste it,

you can't settle for anything less.

Do you understand what I am saying?

I do.

(BREATHING RAGGEDLY)

I do.

I do, too.

(BREATHING DEEPLY)

Mr. Eshel?

Mr. Eshel?

NORMAN:
For once I bet on the right horse.

- (PHILIP CHUCKLES)

- NORMAN:
It is a miracle.

PHILIP:
So, from now on, how does it work?

Are you friends? How close are you?

Do you visit him in his office?

NORMAN:
To tell you the truth, I don't know.

I don't know.

I just want him to know

that I'm here for him.

If he needs me.

PHILIP:
So have you spoken to him yet?

We've been exchanging messages.

It's not that simple to reach him nowadays.

He's got a lot on his plate.

PHILIP:
Well, if you don't go up to him,

he won't know you're here.

Look at him. He is sealed off.

For all you know, he won't return your calls,
