Beyond that, I would say. My first one. And I've never been able to get it out ofmy mind. I still have fantasies about it,which are sort of bugging me.(psychiatrist) What doyou mean, .
I really am physicallymoved by her, and other women, but.. While eavesdropping on the intimaterevelations of a psychiatrist's officemight be fascinating to some people,it was not exactly what I had in mindwhen I rented the place.(man) Well, um.. I don't really have to use himlike a piece of pornography.. I worked hard all day,and the work came very slowly. Beginning a book is alwaysthe most difficult part for me,and by late afternoon I'd become tired. I lay my head down and closedmy eyes, and I guess I dozed off. I don't know exactlyhow long I was asleep,but one of the pillows musthave slipped down off the vent,because I gradually becameaware again of a voice.

Film is the most voyeuristic medium, but rarely have I experienced this fact more sharply than while watching Woody Allen’s “Another Woman.” This is a film almost entirely composed of moments that should be private.
It was a woman's voice, and it was suchan anguished, heart- wrenching soundthat I was totally arrested by its sadness.(woman) I just know that I woke upduring the middle of the night. And time passed, andthere were strange shadows. I began having troublingthoughts about my life. Like there wassomething about it not real.
Full of deceptions. That these.. And we started kissing..- Mark!- And next thing we were on the floor..- Are you crazy? He's drunk.- I was having her on the kitchen floor. The living room floor,the living room floor.- I gotta admit, it was a surprise.- Did it not happen that way? So the door opens, and thesuperintendent..
Some kind of plumbing leak. And we are in flagrante delicto.
You know what he does? He gets up,stark naked, and says . Could you havecome up with anything that quick?- No.- That was grace under pressure.- Did he laugh?- Oh, no.
He turned very redand he crossed himself. Sad. One good thing about becoming 5. You don't have to do it again. I know. It's Laura.
She had another fight withher mother, wants to sleep at our place. It's not fair to Kathy. Well, you tell her, cos once again. I can't get through to my daughter. I know. This is not a good habit to get into.
You know your mother's high- strung. She's just gonna get frantic. Well, it may not seem fair to you, butit's up to you to deal with her moods. Well, if she can't, then youjust have to rise above it. OK? I'll see you at my father's tomorrow. We'll talk about it then.
OK. Bye- bye. She listens to you cos she looks upto you. Me, there's no communication. It's just.. It's a terrible situation.(d . Would you want to? I don't know. Actually, I don't think I see youas the hardwood floor type.
No? Hey, Ken, what are you doingin there? Have you eaten? Hello, Lydia. Look,you know my wife pretty good. Would you say that she was the typeto enjoy sex on the living room floor?- Ken!- Oh, my God. You know, you guys..- I'm only teasing.- That was really embarrassing before.
But not unpleasantif you don't get splinters. Next morning I'd agreed to meetmy sister- in- law who wanted to see me. I waited as long as I could, but whenshe didn't show up I decided to leave.- Marion. I'm sorry.- Oh, hi.- I got stuck in traffic.- Oh. The thing is, I'm really late now.- Sorry. I just need a few minutes.- Well, I'm so behind schedule.
You said eight, and I waited,but I've gotta get going.- Stupid bus wouldn't move.- Maybe some other time. I've gotta be disciplined when I'm writing,Lynn, or I'm not gonna get it done in time. I need to borrow some money. You know,Paul and I are getting a divorce.
I heard. I'm sorry.- Are you?- Why do you say it like that? Because.. I know younever really approved of me. Why, I hardly know you. It's not from my lack of trying. Oh, look, I know this must all be veryupsetting to you.
But, you know.. I'm sorry. If you needed money,how come Paul didn't ask me? Well.. He has before. Marion,don't you know how he feels about you? Sure. We've always been very close.
You're deluding yourself. Of course, in a way he idolises you, but.. I'm sorry, I don't accept that. You're such a perceptive woman. Howcan you not understand his feelings? Look, um, I'm late, and.. I make it a practiceof never getting into these conversations.
They're fruitless, and people saythings that they're sorry for later. Why don't you just tell me how much youneed and I'll discuss it with Ken. OK? The encounter with mysister- in- law had left me angry,but I refused to let itinterfere with my work. I had a reasonably productive day,but as late afternoon approached.
I began to feel anxious somehow.(woman) I really can'tbelieve I'm saying this. Lately I've had odd feelingsabout my marriage.
It's as if it's been.. This is just crazy. I'm marrying Ken, that's all there is to it.- How can you marry Ken?
You're so conceited. What makes you think that I love you? I know. There are some thingsone knows just so surely as.. Well, I- I.. You're wrong,and I'm sorry if I've misled you.- It's you you're misleading.- I'm surprised at you. I mean, Ken is your close friend.
I love everything about you, and. I want you to come and live with me.. Stop it! Right now.(woman) Marion? We're toasting! Just go away. To Ken and Marionon their big day next week.
And to Marion's new book. Germanphilosophy will never be the same. Let's hope not. You'll go on for ever.
Heideggerdefinitely got what he deserved. Hey, I'd like to propose a toast. To good health and happiness.- Aren't you gonna drink to Marion?- Yes, why not? I drink to Marion with my eyes. Smoothie. Old smoothie.(doorbell)I was just returning some things. You could stop staring.
I'm not a ghost. Well, we did spend a few years together,had a child together, in this house. I wish you'd called. I'm not staying. Although some ofthese people used to be my friends too.- Would you like a drink?- Kitty.. Don't panic, I'm not accepting. These are artefacts frommore civilised days between us.(Ken) I think perhaps youshould just leave them and go. Which one's Marion?- I am.- Kathy, this is in terrible taste, you know. Oh, my ex- husbandis an authority on taste!
Now what does Emily Post say aboutadultery with a philosophy professorin a Holiday Inn while his wife is in thehospital having her ovaries removed?- OK, that's enough. Now please leave.- Ah, jeez. I realise that you've been hurt, andif I've done anything wrong I am sorry. Forgive me. I accept your condemnation.
I'm so sorry.(d . He's justhad an embarrassing experience. Yes, he is my friend.
And I love him. But he's a prig. He's cold and he's stuffy. Can't you see that? Do you like that? He's a snob. He's a wonderful man. And he's.. I..- I love reading books with him, and..- It's all up here.
All up here. And he's sexy. Adultery in the Holiday Inn? Did they take a credit card? He would never try to undermine you.
Even if he loved a woman passionately? Maybe we should join the others. Maybe I was wrong about you.- Maybe you're two of a kind.- Maybe you had too much champagne.
Maybe this conversation is scaring you. I have to go. Why don't you do that?(woman) I often wonder about real love. Or should I say, I..
I keep myselffrom thinking about it.- I don't mean the kind I've experienced.- (door buzzer)It's deeper, much more intense. And then I become frightened.
Because I feel too much..- Hi. How are ya?- Fine. This is great, this is really nice. I like it a lot. So are you ready?- Sure.- I'm sorry, am I too early?- No.- So I'm here on time? OK, great.- You know your dad's not coming?- Yes.
Are you all right?- Me?- You just..- No, sure, I'm fine.- OK. All right, well, we should get goingthen, so we can beat the traffic.
I've gathered a number of yourmother's possessions and mementos. Pictures, letters. You may as well have them. I just can't seem to bringmyself to throw them away.- Was it unbearable, the past few months?- I've managed to keep myself busy.- I wish you'd consider moving to the city.- I'm fine right here.
Clara comes in. She cleans andcooks for me the way she always has,so that's no different. Twice a year the boardof the Smithsonian meets.
That gets me down to Washington,and takes up some of my time. I'm all right. I'm fine right here. But you want nothing aroundto even remind you of Mother? Well, there are times when even ahistorian shouldn't look at the past. You think at your age you can meetsomeone and fall in love again?
One hopes at my ageto build up an immunity. Are you aware that Paul and. Lynn are getting a divorce? Nothing Paul does would surprise me,and I'd much rather not hear about him.- He's had bad luck.- He's had the same chances you've had. It's just that he doesn't have itinside him to stick with anything.- I hope you're not still giving him money.- No, just, you know, now and then.
I've salvaged him frommore financial messes,and I've spent more moneydoing it, than I care to tell you. Someday he'll defraud somebody inone of his so- called business ventures. And he'll go to jail.(d . He doesn'thave to be reminded of it.
I'm sorry. It's OK, it's just.. Never mind, it's.. Such as it is. They were never onesfor sentimental possessions. Here's her book of Rilke's poems.
You know, she was the one who firstintroduced me to German poetry. And there's a pictureof the house in the fall. That's really nice.
Oh, there we are in the kitchen. And there's Clara. Look howyoung you were here, Clara.
You were so good to us. I can stilltaste the cookies you used to bake. You used to sit up with us when we hadthose miserable colds.
You were a saint. Oh, and here I am, older. I could go upto the spare room and paint for hours. The time would just fly bywhen I was doing a picture. And there I am with my friend Claire. You know, she became an actress.
We used to be so close,but I haven't seen her in years. And there's my mother. She lovedstrolling around the grounds. She loved all beautiful things. She loved nature, music, poetry. That was her whole existence.- Paul? I'd like to discuss something.- Yes, Dad?
I've had a talk with my brother Ben. And he has promised me that he will finda position for you next season in his firm.
