hwp I had dropped out of
law school when I met Eve.
She was very beautiful.
Very pale, cool in her black dress,
with never anything more
than a single strand of pearis.
And distant.
Always poised and distant.
By the time the giris were born,
it was all so perfect, so ordered.
Looking back, of course, it was rigid.
The truth is
shed created a worid
around us that we existed in,
where everything had its place, where
there was always a kind of harmony.
Great dignity.
I will say... it was like an ice palace.
Then suddenly one day,
out of nowhere,
an enormous abyss
opened up beneath our feet
and I was staring into
a face I didnt recognise.
"The basic popularity and appeal of Mao
for so-called American Marxists."
This is supposed to go in the sequence -
in under the sequence
in reel two about South Africa.
Um... what we wanna
do is get two examples.
The idea is his style was
Marxist-Leninist - Maos style -
but that he was accessible to the lower
classes because of his use of homilies.
An example is: "The hardest thing is to
act properly throughout ones whole life."
What the hell does that mean?
Or, even worse...
Eve. I wasnt expecting you.
- I hope Im not disturbing you.
- No. I just couldnt imagine who it was.
- Is Joey here? Wheres Joey?
- In the shower. Can I get you anything?
Oh, just some coffee, if you dont mind.
No, its no trouble at all.
I think Ive found a very
nice vase for the foyer.
Uh-huh.
Youll probably think its an extravagance,
but its not, all things considered.
These pieces are
becoming increasingly rare.
Isnt that exquisite?
I hope you like it, because
its perfect for the foyer.
We already have a vase in the foyer, Eve.
Yes, but this will never look
right when we redo the floors.
Ive never understood
why they have to be redone.
What? We discussed all that, Michael.
Dont you remember? You agreed.
It costs money to have these things done
and redone two and three times over.
But the... Its such a large floor space.
We agreed the paler tones would
make a more subtle statement.
Pale woods would be lovely.
I never agreed about anything.
Im always being told.
- I wouldnt put it that way.
- How would you put it?
First the living room
was finished, then it wasnt.
Then the bedroom needed more work.
Now the floors have to be stripped.
- You picked the sofa, then you hated it.
- It was a lovely piece.
It just was the wrong scale.
This is not an exact science.
Sometimes you just have to see it,
then you get the feel of it.
- You didnt like that in the bedroom?
- I get better use out of it here.
If you utilised it in here, thats fine.
Its meant to be used,
but it was part of what we
were doing in the bedroom.
Its the shade and the bedspread, they
set each other off so nicely. I thought...
- How much is the vase?
- Theyre asking $ .
- Give me a break, Eve.
- All right, Michael. Ill return it.
Would you mind closing the window?
The street noises are just unnerving.
- I hope you arent having an argument.
- Not at all.
Oh, I love that suit. Its a unique colour.
Renata calls it ice grey.
It makes you look very beautiful.
Isnt she beautiful, Michael?
- Very lovely.
- I dont feel lovely.
Ive been running up and down
Second Avenue all day.
Oh, wow. Is this for us? Its exquisite.
- No. I was just showing it to Michael.
- Its too expensive.
Really? Well, thats too bad.
- Eve, lets keep it.
- No, no.
Yeah. Its very beautiful.
Well work something out.
No, I was just carried away by it.
I dont know why.
Guess its because its so unique.
But it is an extravagance.
Ill just look for something along
the same lines at a better price.
But this really belongs in the bedroom
because its too insignificant
a piece for in here.
The shade is just wrong
against all these slick surfaces.
- Ill put it back.
- No. I want to try it in a different spot.
I can fix something for you,
something more inexpensive.
Ive seen some nice pewters.
Um, maybe gunmetal.
And I can make the shade
in a smoother fabric, if you prefer.
But we should stick with
my beiges and my earth tones.
- "Beiges and..."
- Stop picking on her.
- Nobodys picking on her.
- Shes a sick woman.
- Thats great.
- Yes, its nice.
So how do you feel?
Im fine. Im just a little tired, thats all.
- Coffee.
- Oh, thank you.
Oh, I tell you, so many jobs.
Its just exhausting.
Yeah, I know. I cant get over how
you sort of jump right in and do it.
Well, I like it. I like to be busy.
And I think I can say that my comeback is
over the shaky period. Wouldnt you say?
I think so. I think your work is better,
in fact, than its ever been.
- Do you?
- Yeah.
Well, I have to admit that I have received
some rather special compliments lately.
- Oh, yeah?
- Uh-huh.
Yes. Well, my spirits are high.
Im feeling good about myself.
Not to say that I dont run
