The fastest.

Remember?

I don't remember,

I was too young maybe.

You used to sit

over there.

No, I used,

I used to sit

here with you guys.

Sometimes.

It's nice to see

you again.

I told this woman

in a letter that

I thought it was better

that you guys don't

know me now.

It was better for you.

Why?

I'm not so nice now.

I never thought

you were nice.

You're nicer

than you think

you are.

No, I'm not.

So how'd

you become

a criminal?

I don't know.

Wait here.

This is William.

Hello, William.

Hi. Who are you?

A friend.

I liked you manner

on the street

the other day.

Yeah, thanks

for stepping in.

What would have

happened if I hadn't?

I don't know.

Were you afraid?

No.

You didn't seem afraid.

I, I guess.

You're a secretive

one, huh?

Are you a tough guy?

No.

No.

But you are secretive.

That's my

impression, anyway.

You know, I don't much

like people who aren't

who aren't like that.

Victor, would you

give us a minute?

Sure.

Actually,

give Ann a call,

would you?

Is she there?

Hang on a second.

Yeah, she's ready anytime.

Well, thank you for coming.

I wanted to meet you.

You're a film

editor, right?

U h, yeah.

Why don't you

have any friends?

I do.

No, you don't.

Okay.

You know,

there is someone

I'd like you to meet.

Victor will

take you to her.

She's a gift.

You're giving

me a woman?

No.

How could

I do that?

I don't know.

No, just

a friend

someone I'd

like you to meet,

if you're willing.

A simple sign of respect

which I'd like to think

that you'd reciprocate.

Uh, okay, great.

Great.

Victor.

No, uh, I don't,

I don't think so.

Not really my thing.

You'd be doing

me a favor.

Maybe some other time.

Hi.

I'm Ann.

Victor told me

to come here.

Oh, you mean,

Victor's boss.

Somebody.

lt'd really

be better for me

if you let me in.

Would you like

to take a seat?

Mm. Thanks.

So you're what

he gives away?

I wouldn't say that.

I'm sorry.

That was really rude.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. I can see

how you might think

of it that way.

Anyway--

So who are you?

Um--

I can't really

offer you anything.

Um, do you

want some water?

Okay.

Okay.

Here.

Would you like some?

I got lipstick

on the glass.

Anyway.

Here.

That's so pretty.

You think?

Yes.

You sure you

don't want any?

So this is home and

work, Victor said?

Yeah.

Movies?

Yeah, sort of.

Can I see?

Mm-hm.

Come on.

A 19th-century naturalist

called them little more

than organized water.

They were in our oceans

before sharks and dinosaurs.

They do not have

a central nervous system

a circulatory system

a respiratory system

or an osmoregulatory system.

So it's understandable
