00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.600 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.350 align:middle line:90%
There's a-- there was--

00:00:02.350 --> 00:00:07.020 align:middle line:84%
a movie theater, movie house,
in Berkeley, where I live.

00:00:07.020 --> 00:00:11.615 align:middle line:84%
And it's one of those
avant-garde movie houses

00:00:11.615 --> 00:00:13.740 align:middle line:84%
where you go in there, you
sit down for three hours

00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:16.350 align:middle line:84%
and wonder what happened,
because none of the movies

00:00:16.350 --> 00:00:17.400 align:middle line:90%
ever make any sense.

00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:19.282 align:middle line:90%
And they're from France.

00:00:19.282 --> 00:00:19.782 align:middle line:90%
This is a--

00:00:19.782 --> 00:00:21.078 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:21.078 --> 00:00:22.990 align:middle line:90%
This is an occasion.

00:00:22.990 --> 00:00:26.490 align:middle line:84%
It's called "Taking the
Movies to the Streets."

00:00:26.490 --> 00:00:32.910 align:middle line:84%
"The French movie star takes
off her blouse, puts it back on.

00:00:32.910 --> 00:00:36.160 align:middle line:84%
And nothing for you,
Pierre, this week,

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:40.170 align:middle line:84%
next week, and if I
have it my way, as long

00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:43.230 align:middle line:90%
as that dirty thing stands up.

00:00:43.230 --> 00:00:44.700 align:middle line:90%
The movie ends.

00:00:44.700 --> 00:00:47.910 align:middle line:84%
The patrons blink when
the lights come on.

00:00:47.910 --> 00:00:50.010 align:middle line:90%
I help my wife with her coat.

00:00:50.010 --> 00:00:52.890 align:middle line:84%
My friend helps his
wife with her coat.

00:00:52.890 --> 00:00:56.850 align:middle line:84%
The men around us
are just as helpful.

00:00:56.850 --> 00:01:01.140 align:middle line:84%
But are any of them like me,
confused about what they saw?

00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:04.050 align:middle line:90%
Two hours of bedroom crying.

00:01:04.050 --> 00:01:07.350 align:middle line:84%
And why did the old nun
beat herself with a candle?

00:01:07.350 --> 00:01:11.040 align:middle line:84%
What was this about a
saint with the flying cape?

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.330 align:middle line:84%
Where did the mouse come
from when the violin started?

00:01:15.330 --> 00:01:17.400 align:middle line:90%
Poor, brie-fed mouse.

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.965 align:middle line:84%
10 minutes on the screen
and no credit in the end.

00:01:20.965 --> 00:01:23.190 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:23.190 --> 00:01:27.090 align:middle line:84%
Outside, the stars
mingle with neon.

00:01:27.090 --> 00:01:30.480 align:middle line:84%
The faces of newspapers
drink from the gutter.

00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.350 align:middle line:84%
We walk back to the car,
the four of us smiling.

00:01:34.350 --> 00:01:36.150 align:middle line:90%
What was it about?

00:01:36.150 --> 00:01:37.290 align:middle line:90%
I look back.

00:01:37.290 --> 00:01:40.680 align:middle line:90%
The marquee glows 'psychodrama.'

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.830 align:middle line:90%
That's what I need in my life.

00:01:43.830 --> 00:01:47.460 align:middle line:84%
Lust is a slow
slime in the heart.

00:01:47.460 --> 00:01:51.750 align:middle line:84%
I nudge against my friend's
wife's tear-shaped ass.

00:01:51.750 --> 00:01:53.710 align:middle line:90%
She's beautiful.

00:01:53.710 --> 00:01:58.110 align:middle line:84%
I've seen her hang laundry
and board a bus in high heels.

00:01:58.110 --> 00:02:01.500 align:middle line:84%
Psychodrama, I
breathe in her ear.

00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:05.820 align:middle line:84%
She squeals, laughs, and
tells her husband, honey,

00:02:05.820 --> 00:02:07.470 align:middle line:90%
Gary is doing it again.

00:02:07.470 --> 00:02:09.720 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:02:09.720 --> 00:02:13.050 align:middle line:84%
Honey punches me
in the arm softly.

00:02:13.050 --> 00:02:17.460 align:middle line:84%
Psychodrama, he says,
and places a creepy kiss

00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:21.120 align:middle line:90%
on my screaming wife's mouth."

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:22.544 align:middle line:90%
That really didn't happen.

00:02:22.544 --> 00:02:25.330 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:02:25.330 --> 00:02:26.880 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:02:26.880 --> 00:02:28.000 align:middle line:90%
