[first lines] Arthur:
I had dropped out of law school when I met Eve. She was very beautiful, very pale and cool in her black dress with never anything more than a single strand of pearls. And distant. Always poised And distant. At the time the girls were born it was all so perfect, so ordered. Looking back, of course, it was rigid. The truth is she created a world 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 didn't recognize

Poem called "Wondering".
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.151
- It was very beautiful.
- It's an old poem.
00:00:09.028 --> 00:00:13.637
I redid it. And now when I reread it,
I find it much too ambiguous.
00:00:14.032 --> 00:00:17.153
Nah. I may redo it again.
00:00:17.092 --> 00:00:21.023
We're starting our drive back.
Can we drop you someplace?
00:00:21.036 --> 00:00:24.193
I have to catch a plane
really early tomorrow morning.
00:00:24.032 --> 00:00:28.711
Oh, right. I heard you're shooting a movie
in the cold Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
00:00:29.002 --> 00:00:33.796
Couldn't be some place like Acapulco.
That's my idea of fantasy.
00:00:33.092 --> 00:00:37.629
Lie around on the beach.
Get waited on hand and foot.
00:00:37.076 --> 00:00:42.088
Really? I can't take Mexico. I always think
I'll get shot just walking down the street.
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.639
- (buzzer)
- What was that?
00:00:49.024 --> 00:00:51.196
"Happy birthday. Love, Arthur."
00:00:51.032 --> 00:00:53.276
They're beautiful.
00:00:54.056 --> 00:00:57.438
I like white roses better than
any other flower on earth.
00:00:57.056 --> 00:00:59.915
(Flyn) There you are.
I knew he wouldn't forget.
00:01:00.999 --> 00:01:02.349
(Renata) Mom. And you were worried?
00:01:02.048 --> 00:01:05.998
They're a good sign. Don't you think?
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.001
Well? Are you getting dressed or what?
00:01:17.999 --> 00:01:20.679
Frederick, are you talking to me?
00:01:20.008 --> 00:01:22.518
We said everything.
00:01:22.064 --> 00:01:25.712
Don't blame me. I've been
nothing but understanding.
00:01:26.044 --> 00:01:29.352
- You don't help by patronising me.
- I wasn't.
00:01:29.048 --> 00:01:32.631
Your work is great.
Who cares what the critics think?
00:01:32.001 --> 00:01:37.788
That's easy for you to say. You get
encouragement. You're their little darling.
00:01:37.092 --> 00:01:41.276
They're lenient with me,
obviously, because I'm a woman.
00:01:41.001 --> 00:01:43.999
No.
00:01:43.048 --> 00:01:46.313
- It's because you're so damn good.
- So are you.
00:01:46.044 --> 00:01:48.999
The book didn't get
the response it deserved.
00:01:48.999 --> 00:01:51.554
I hate to tell you how often
they've missed the boat.
