Gabriel's Inferno: Part Two 2020
Professor Gabriel Emerson finally learns the truth about Julia Mitchell's identity, but his realization comes a moment too late. Julia is done waiting for the well-respected Dante specialist to remember her and wants nothing more to do with him. Can Gabriel win back her heart before she finds love in another's arms?

00:24:00Beatrice, these delusions have to stop.
00:24:05Julianne, I've waited six years to talk to you.
00:24:12I won't wait any longer.
00:24:16I'm taking you home with me.
00:24:30What are you doing?
00:24:32I'm texting Paul to cancel.

00:27:28Come.
00:27:43Are you pleased?
00:27:45It's beautiful.
00:27:50Let me.
00:27:58Thank you.
00:28:01My dear Julianne,
00:28:24if you wish to know how I feel about you,
00:28:27just ask me.
00:28:29It's yours, Gabriel.
00:28:59No champagne?
00:29:12You may find this hard to believe,
00:29:14but I don't drink all the time.
00:29:19We'll save the rest for Mimosas tomorrow.
00:29:21Breakfast?
00:29:23You're very sure of yourself, Casanova.
00:29:28Your virtue is safe with me.
00:29:59I won't let your darkness consume me.
00:30:11So you think darkness can consume light?
00:30:15That's an interesting theory.
00:30:25I just threw some of my darkness through those candles
00:30:28and nothing happened.
00:30:30Don't be so damn condescending.
00:30:32You know what I mean.
00:30:35Julianne, I won't lie to you
00:30:37and say that I'm not attracted to your luminosity.
00:30:42But I have no wish to consume you.
00:30:47If I'm the darkness, then...
00:30:52then you're the stars.
00:30:59I won't let you fuck me.
00:31:02I would never fuck you.
00:31:07One doesn't fuck an angel.
00:31:13Then what does someone like you do with an angel?
00:31:19Someone like me would cherish her.
00:31:24Try to get to know her.
00:31:28Start by being friends, perhaps.
00:31:32Is it too hard to believe that I want to take my time?
00:31:36That I want to get to know you?
00:31:40Yes.
00:31:45Julianne, this is new to me.
00:31:48Your prejudice is warranted to some degree,
00:31:52but don't deliberately try my patience.
00:32:19I know you're partial to chocolate.
00:32:32You need to let me feed you.
00:32:37I'm not a child.
00:32:39Then stop acting like one.
00:32:43Trust me.
00:32:46Trust me, please.
00:33:17The act of feeding someone
00:33:21is the ultimate act of care and affection.
00:33:26Sharing yourself with someone else for the food.
00:33:39Think about it.
00:33:42Think about it.
00:33:45We are fed in the Eucharist
00:33:49by our mothers when we are infants,
00:33:54by our parents when we are children,
00:34:00by friends at dinner parties,
00:34:07by a lover when we feast on one another's bodies,
00:34:15and on occasion when we feast on one another's souls.
00:34:37Don't you want me to feed you?
00:34:46You don't want to feast on my body, but at least feast on my cake.
00:34:51Last chance.
00:34:58That wasn't so bad, was it?
00:35:07May I?
00:35:10May I?
00:35:34See how nice it is to be cared for.
00:35:39How nice it is to be cared for by me.
00:35:49Spend the night with me.
00:35:54What about our conversation?
00:35:57We had enough talking today.
00:36:00We can talk tomorrow when both our heads are clear.
00:36:09How about tonight?
00:36:24I will be the perfect gentleman.
00:36:39Good night, Julian.
00:37:10You're leaving?
00:37:16I said that I wanted you in my bed, and I meant it.
00:37:20You're safe here.
00:37:39Would you catch me, baby?
00:37:44Would you catch me?
00:37:52Lead me down paths I cannot see
00:37:58And set me free
00:38:04Would you catch me?
00:38:11Between the lines and the matters that are grey
00:38:18Where I hide in darkness and despair
00:38:25Would you find the muscle and the strength
00:38:31Oh, would you catch me, baby?
00:38:35Would you catch me, baby?
00:38:38Would you?
00:38:42Would you catch me?
00:38:49Lead me down the paths I cannot see
00:38:56And set me free
00:39:02Would you catch me?
00:39:07I tried, but I couldn't stay away.
00:39:13I don't want you away from me.
00:39:18I tried, you tried
00:39:27Why did you take your photos down?
00:39:33I was ashamed.
00:39:37You weren't before.
00:39:41That was before I decided to bring an angel to my bed.
00:39:48And you'd set me free
00:39:55You'd catch me
00:40:01Oh, would you catch me?
00:40:08Would you lead me down the paths I cannot see
00:40:14And set me free
00:40:21Would you catch me?
00:40:27Would you catch me?
00:40:38Good morning, Julianne.
00:40:57I stepped out for a brief moment.
00:40:59Make yourself at home.
00:41:00Make yourself at home.
00:41:30Make yourself at home.
00:41:59Make yourself at home.
00:42:27Good morning.
00:42:35Would you mind?
00:42:41Did you sleep well?
00:42:43Once I was beside you, I did.
00:42:45As did I.
00:42:57You're shivering.
00:42:59You make me nervous.
00:43:01Why?
00:43:04I never know if you're going to be sweet and whisper something that takes my breath away,
00:43:09or say something so mean it breaks my heart.
00:43:16I'm sorry.
00:43:20There's no excuse for that.
00:43:24I find you difficult to talk to sometimes.
00:43:29You're only forthcoming when you're furious.
00:43:30That isn't true.
00:43:31Then I need you to talk to me.
00:43:36Why did you light candles in your room last night?
00:43:39I remember what you told me about the darkness, and I wanted you to see Holliday's painting,
00:43:46and I was for a huge run.
00:43:52Thank you.
00:43:54I'm a good lover, in all senses of the word.
00:44:07Are you hungry?
00:44:10Very.
00:44:40You're seriously sexy.
00:44:44Don't make fun of me.
00:44:47I would never make fun of you.
00:45:14You said we'd talk.
00:45:27What happened the morning after our night in the orchard?
00:45:32My memory's a little fuzzy.
00:45:42I woke up before sunrise, alone.
00:45:49Gabriel?
00:45:57Gabriel?
00:45:59You left me there.
00:46:02Gabriel?
00:46:04Gabriel!
00:46:07I was terrified.
00:46:20That's where you went?
00:46:22I didn't leave you.
00:46:25What are you talking about?
00:46:27I woke up early.
00:46:28You were sleeping in my arms, and I didn't want to wake you up.
00:46:34But I needed to relieve myself.
00:46:40But I returned with apples for breakfast.
00:46:47Beatrice.
00:46:50You were gone.
00:46:55I came back to my room, and I...
00:46:59and I fell asleep.
00:47:01Why didn't you try to find me?
00:47:04When I woke up, I asked where Beatrice was.
00:47:07Richard told me I was delusional.
00:47:10No one mentioned you or your name.
00:47:12I...
00:47:14I thought it was a dream.
00:47:17How could you think that?
00:47:21I was hungover, and I was confused.
00:47:25I was strung out on coke.
00:47:31Rachel didn't tell you?
00:47:35Richard knew I was on something when he picked me up the night before.
00:47:41He searched my room, found my stash, and when he confronted me, I...
00:47:46I snapped.
00:47:48The fight with Scott.
00:47:51I spent the most romantic night of my life with a guy strung out on coke.
00:47:56What a stupid, stupid girl.
00:47:59You're not stupid.
00:48:01I'm the fuck-up.
00:48:03I was planning on killing myself that night, and you changed that.
00:48:08I thought you were an angel.
00:48:10And then God, perhaps, has shown mercy to me and sent you to save me.
00:48:16Why did you want to kill yourself?
00:48:25I can tell you that.
00:48:29I don't know what would happen if I brought those old demons back.
00:48:38Are you still suicidal?
00:48:41No.
00:48:44Part of my depression was caused by the drugs,
00:48:47and part was caused by other factors that I was trying to deal with in my life.
00:49:06Quoting Dante can't change what happened.
00:49:13I won't get involved with a drug addict.
00:49:16I've been clean for six years.
00:49:18I won't get involved with an alcoholic either.
00:49:21My mom was one.
00:49:23I admit I drink, but I'm not addicted to alcohol.
00:49:28I'm not that same naive 17-year-old girl.
00:49:31No, you're a beautiful woman, Beatrice.
00:49:34Stop saying that! It's an illusion!
00:49:37It was real. It was everything.
00:49:40As soon as I touched you, I knew.
00:49:42I remembered you. My body remembers you.
00:49:47It was only my conscious mind I had forgotten.
00:49:51I know I've hurt you, and I know I have a dark side.
00:49:58Will you let me show what I can do?
00:50:02Will you let me show that I can be good?
00:50:07I can be very, very good.
00:50:13This isn't how I imagined it.
00:50:17Finding you again is so different from how I dreamed.
00:50:23You aren't who I thought you were.
00:50:26You came to me last night, and it was all there.
00:50:30Every feeling, every...
00:50:35every memory, every sensation I had came back.
00:50:42Tell me it meant nothing to you, and I let you go.
00:50:49Your skin remembers me, and so does your heart.
00:51:06Remember you first.
00:51:16Let me show you what I can do when I take it slow.
00:51:23Let me show you what I can do when I take it slow.
00:51:29Let me show you what I can do when I take it slow.
00:51:59Let me show you what I can do when I take it slow.
00:52:21Last night you talked about being friends.
00:52:25I came to court you,
00:52:30and I intend to kiss you a lot.
00:52:39I won't be shared.
00:52:42I'm not in the habit of sharing what's precious to me.
00:52:47I won't share you either.
00:52:52You may not sleep with anyone else,
00:52:56even while I'm still deciding.
00:52:59Done.
00:53:01What about Paulina?
00:53:04Don't worry about her.
00:53:06Is she your wife? Ex-wife?
00:53:08No.
00:53:10What about M-A-I-A, the tattoo on your chest?
00:53:13Please, stop. I can't.
00:53:15Then either can I.
00:53:17What made you feel so insecure about yourself?
00:53:21Was it Simon?
00:53:24You said it in your sleep, and you sounded upset.
00:53:29Tell me.
00:53:30No.
00:53:31Why not?
00:53:33Because it makes me sick.
00:53:38He didn't force you, did he?
00:53:42No.
00:53:48We both have secrets we don't want to tell.
00:53:54I won't lie to you, but I can tell you everything.
00:53:59I know I've disappointed you.
00:54:03I wish I was the knight rather than the dragon.
00:54:09You can banish me,
00:54:12or save me with a single word.
00:54:35I should go.
00:54:42I need to prepare for my meeting with Professor Becton.
00:54:47When will I see you again?
00:54:50At your seminar next week.
00:54:52It's too far off.
00:54:55Dinner?
00:54:57I can't.
00:54:59You're still my professor, and I'm your student.
00:55:13The Figure of Beatrice, a Study in Dante by Charles Williams?
00:55:19Catherine would be impressed if you're familiar with it.
00:55:23Thank you.
00:55:28Goodbye, Gabriel.
00:55:32Thank you.
00:55:44Goodbye, Gabriel.
00:56:03It's Gabriel Emerson. I need to speak to John immediately.
00:56:08Tell him I'm on my way to see him.
00:56:11Thanks.
00:56:33Julia Mitchell, I presume?
00:56:38Yes. It's wonderful to meet you, Professor Becton.
00:56:42Please, sit.
00:56:46Your grades from St. Joseph's are impressive.
00:56:50Thank you.
00:56:52But if I'm to be your advisor, I'll need more than good grades.
00:56:58I fell in love with Dante when I was 17.
00:57:02Ever since then, he's haunted my dreams.
00:57:06Continue.
00:57:10My professional advice is to stay away from her.
00:57:13Impossible.
00:57:15Is she at least over 18?
00:57:17What?
00:57:19Please tell me you're not screwing the freshman.
00:57:21Don't be vulgar.
00:57:23Oh, good.
00:57:25I can't state for sure without first seeing the non-fraternization policy,
00:57:29but you're likely putting your job in jeopardy if you're sleeping with a student.
00:57:32We're not sleeping together.
00:57:34Keep it that way.
00:57:36No sexual activity whatsoever, and it doesn't matter if it's consensual.
00:57:39Got it?
00:57:43But what if we're involved romantically and not sexually?
00:57:47Are you kidding me, Emerson?
00:57:51Are you kidding me, Emerson?
00:57:53I'm that serious.
00:57:55Would our platonic relationship violate that policy or not?
00:57:58Given your reputation?
00:58:01Regardless of whether you're believed or not,
00:58:04the employer would still have to provide evidence of a sexual nature.
00:58:07Unless you're Chiquita...
00:58:09Don't call her that.
00:58:11Unless she or someone else files a complaint against you.
00:58:15And if they can't prove it?
00:58:17If they can't prove you were fucking,
00:58:19you'd likely receive a reprimand for an improper relationship,
00:58:21but I can't state for certain without first seeing the policy.
00:58:29Thank you, John.
00:58:31And, Gabriel, stay out of trouble.
00:58:34No girls, no fistfights, no public drunkenness, nothing.
00:58:38Any lawsuit with the university will expose your past.
00:58:41Remember that.
00:58:48Julianne, it's Gabriel.
00:58:58What are you doing here?
00:59:00Dinner.
00:59:09Nice towel.
00:59:12I'll change.
00:59:29What's all this for?
00:59:32Just a little something to celebrate Catherine and going to dinner.
00:59:36I'm not sure I want to.
00:59:38Just a little something to celebrate Catherine agreeing to be your advisor.
00:59:43How do you know she agreed?
00:59:45She told me.
00:59:47She also told me that you impressed her greatly.
00:59:50I didn't think I would when she said my subject was derivative.
00:59:53Instead of comparing courtly love and lust,
00:59:56I'm going to examine aspects of friendship between Virgil and Dante
01:00:00with the theme of courtly love.
01:00:02So instead of lust and love, it'll be love and friendship.
01:00:10Sounds appropriate.
01:00:12What about the non-fraternization policy?
01:00:16As long as we're chaste and discreet,
01:00:19I don't think we'll have a problem.
01:00:26Does that mean no kissing?
01:00:32Do you want me to kiss you?
01:00:35You can't be kissing me one moment and grading my essays the next.
01:00:39True. I'll ask Catherine to grade your work.
01:00:43Now, where were we?
01:00:49Is this just an affair to you?
01:00:52No.
01:00:54No, I want us to get to know each other.
01:00:59I want to spend as much time with you as possible.
01:01:03And once the semester is over, we can see where this is going,
01:01:06but that's entirely up to you.
01:01:14I'm at your mercy.
01:01:28I love you.
01:01:50This is a declaration of desire.
01:01:53If we were lovers, I would have kissed you like that
01:01:57but for now I can only declare that I burn for you.
01:02:06Let's eat.
01:02:08I promise not to stay late.
01:02:14I don't want you to go.
01:02:27What was that?
01:02:31I want you to stay with me.
01:02:57Good morning.
01:03:03You're not saying much.
01:03:06You're half naked.
01:03:08You want me to be wholly naked?
01:03:11I'm kidding.
01:03:26Come on.
01:03:47Giovanni Ludovico Celio di Narni.
01:03:50Where did you end up? Here in the valley,
01:03:52with fear in my heart, with my ass looking up
01:03:56and life behind my back.
01:03:59By that Dante means...
01:04:22I love you.
01:04:52I love you.
01:05:22I love you.
01:05:52I need your love like the air I breathe
01:05:57I need it more than you could ever believe
01:06:02And you give, and you give, give it to me
01:06:06And you give, and you give all that I need, oh
01:06:11And I take, and I take the blood that you bleed
01:06:15And you give, and you give, give it to me, oh
01:06:20And you give, and you give, give it to me
01:06:25And you give, and you give all that I need, oh
01:06:29And I take, and I take the blood that you bleed
01:06:34And you give, and you give, give it to me, oh
01:06:51Are you going home for Thanksgiving?
01:06:54Yes. Are you?
01:06:56Yes.
01:06:59Would you consider flying with me?
01:07:07I'd like that.
01:07:10I'd like that.
01:07:13I'd like that.
01:07:16I'd like that.
01:07:20I don't like Thanksgiving.
01:07:24But Grace made it nice.
01:07:27We didn't really celebrate.
01:07:30Why not?
01:07:33During my last Thanksgiving with my mom,
01:07:37she was on a bender with one of her boyfriends.
01:07:41I decided to cook a Martha Stewart recipe.
01:07:46I put all the food in a tray to carry it to the table,
01:07:50and her boyfriend stuck out his foot and tripped me.
01:07:54Everything went flying.
01:07:57Were you hurt?
01:07:59I don't remember.
01:08:02Sharon just laughed at me.
01:08:05And then she got bored and went into her room to...
01:08:10They didn't even bother closing the door.
01:08:15My God.
01:08:37What's this car from?
01:08:41You can tell me.
01:08:46Sharon hit me.
01:08:50I fell and hit my head against the corner of the kitchen counter.
01:08:59I called my dad in the hospital and said
01:09:03that if he didn't come and pick me up,
01:09:07I was gonna run away.
01:09:11I was gonna run away.
01:09:17And that was it.
01:09:21I never saw my mom again.
01:09:28I'm sorry that those things happened to you.
01:09:34I'm pretty lucky, actually.
01:09:38Sharon only hit me once.
01:09:41No one hits me here.
01:09:46And I have a friend who feeds me.
01:09:52You should have been cuddled and adored
01:09:56and treated like a princess.
01:10:00I don't believe in fairy tales.
01:10:03I'd like to make you believe.
01:10:08I'm sorry.
01:10:23Do you have any scars?
01:10:27You can't hit something that you don't know is there.
01:10:31I'm sorry.
01:10:34It's difficult to know what's worse,
01:10:37being hit or being ignored.
01:10:41I guess it depends on the kind of pain you prefer.
01:10:47Happiness is something I know precious little about.
01:10:54Why aren't you happy now?
01:10:58I bartered my birthright for a bowl of potage.
01:11:07Yes, I can quote scripture. I'm not a pagan.
01:11:13Richard and Grace were devout Episcopalians.
01:11:17I only go to Mass when I'm sad.
01:11:21Or at Easter or Christmas.
01:11:26I still believe even though I don't live like it.
01:11:30I know that makes me a hypocrite.
01:11:34All believers are hypocrites because none of us live up to our beliefs.
01:11:39But if you still believe, you have hope.
01:11:43Happiness is possible for you, too.
01:11:51I lost my soul.
01:11:56What do you mean?
01:12:01I've committed the sin unto death.
01:12:15Do you believe there's a difference between right and wrong?
01:12:20Of course.
01:12:24Knowing isn't the problem. It's the doing.
01:12:29Only a creature with a soul can tell the difference between right and wrong.
01:12:35You make mistakes, but you feel remorse.
01:12:41You still have your soul.
01:12:45A chance at redemption.
01:12:59Will you stay?
01:13:04I won't let anyone hurt you.
01:13:08Least of all me.
01:13:22When is your birthday?
01:13:26Come on, don't deprive me. When is your birthday?
01:13:30September 1st. You missed it.
01:13:32No, I haven't.
01:13:34Are you free next Saturday? We can celebrate it then.
01:13:39What will we be doing?
01:13:41Let me worry about that.
01:13:43Are you accepting my invitation or no?
01:13:47I accept with gratitude. Please don't tickle me!
01:13:52Please don't tickle me!
01:13:57I want to see you Friday night.
01:14:01After your lecture?
01:14:03I'll have to come up with an excuse for Paul. We're going together.
01:14:10Did we or did we not have an arrangement that excluded sharing?
01:14:17We're friends. He asked me to go. I didn't think it was wrong.
01:14:23Do you want me to see other women as friends?
01:14:27Going to public events with them?
01:14:30No.
01:14:31Then extend me some courtesy.
01:14:39Being a grad student in a strange city is lonely.
01:14:43Please don't make me give up the one friend I have apart from you.
01:14:48Then I really will be isolated since I can't be around you all the time.
01:14:53I'll concede that you need a friend.
01:14:58But he needs to realize that you're no longer available.
01:15:03He's far too invested as it is and that could create a problem for us.
01:15:12I'll tell him I have a boyfriend.
01:15:15I'll tell him I have a boyfriend.
01:15:20And his name is Owen.
01:15:46Look at him.
01:15:48A vest and a pocket watch? How old is this guy?
01:15:53But he has a personal portrait in his attic that's aging rather rapidly.
01:16:01Who's that next to Professor Martin?
01:16:04Professor Singer. She's the worst.
01:16:08She's known as Professor Pain.
01:16:11Pain?
01:16:13She's in S&M.
01:16:15You should check out her website. It's pretty hardcore.
01:16:22Better yet, don't stay away from her.
01:16:25I do.
01:16:32He feels so overdressed.
01:16:34You look nice.
01:16:38Boyfriend's a lucky guy.
01:16:42Thanks.
01:16:47Professor Martin invited me to the faculty dinner after and he said I could bring a guest.
01:16:53Want to go?
01:16:56As friends?
01:16:59Welcome.
01:17:03Lost in Dante's Inferno.
01:17:07The deadly sin against the self.
01:17:12Immediately, one might wonder why lust would be a sin against the self.
01:17:19Since it is always directed toward another.
01:17:23The use of another human being for personal, sexual gratification.
01:17:31Evil can only feed off of goodness, like a parasite.
01:17:36If all the goodness of a creature were eliminated, then the creature in question would no longer exist.
01:17:41I'm making the connection between Virgil and Beatrice.
01:17:44Dante is expressing his notion that...
01:17:48...courtly love is tied to reason rather than passion.
01:17:57But what of lust?
01:18:01If love is the rabbit, then lust is the wolf.
01:18:11Dante says so explicitly when he identifies lust as a sin.
01:18:16A sin in which passion overtakes reason.
01:18:21In Dante's philosophy, lust is a misplaced love, but a kind of love nonetheless.
01:18:29For this reason, it is the least evil of the seven deadly sins.
01:18:36In contrast, the last, which is a mortal sin, is love.
01:18:46Dante argues that a lover is related to his beloved as if...
01:18:54...his beloved were a part of himself.
01:19:06The End
01:19:12Emerson!
01:19:16Come sit.
01:19:19I've ordered sangria for everyone.
01:19:23Emerson?
01:19:35Looks like Emerson and Singer had it again.
01:19:38What?
01:19:40They had an affair.
01:19:42And from the looks of it, it never ended.
01:19:46They dated.
01:19:48Singer doesn't date.
01:19:50He's into pain and control.
01:19:58That means he's into...
01:20:01S&M. Yeah.
01:20:21Excuse me. I need to use the ladies' room.
01:20:39Please don't come to dinner. Go to my place.
01:20:42The concierge will let you in. I'll explain later.
01:20:46The concierge will let you in. I'll explain later.
01:20:50Do as I ask.
01:20:53My phone was off.
01:21:17I'm Professor Singer.
01:21:20It's a pleasure to meet you.
01:21:23Julia.
01:21:29Do I make you nervous, Julia?
01:21:32No. If you'll excuse me.
01:21:36Did you like watching what I was doing to Emerson under the table?
01:21:40Because I saw it.
01:21:43I think I've made you blush.
01:21:46In fact, I think I've made you blush all over your body.
01:21:51I think you want me to tease you.
01:21:55You'd make a very pretty pet.
01:21:59I'm not interested in being anyone's pet.
01:22:02Feisty.
01:22:04I like a feisty pet.
01:22:07I'm a human being.
01:22:10I like a feisty pet.
01:22:12I'm a human being, not a fucking animal.
01:22:16Human beings are animals, my dear.
01:22:19We share the same physiology, the same reactions to stimuli,
01:22:24and we have the same need for food, drink, and...
01:22:29sex.
01:22:31I know what an animal is.
01:22:33And I have no interest in being fucked like one.
01:22:37If you change your mind, come and find us.
01:22:40Us? Not a chance, man.
01:22:47It tore me!
01:22:49It's me. I saw Senior follow you. What did she do to you?
01:22:53She invited me to become her pet.
01:22:56This is what I wanted to avoid. You're like a lamb to her wolf.
01:23:00She only noticed me because I caught her molesting you under the table.
01:23:04She's goading me. It's a game for her.
01:23:08I can't react.
01:23:09Well, I can, and it's disgusting.
01:23:11Please. You're shaking. Tell me if she hurt you.
01:23:14Hurt me? No. I handled it.
01:23:17But tell me, did you let her hurt you?
01:23:20What did Paul tell you?
01:23:22Enough.
01:23:24Are you into that sort of thing?
01:23:26This is not the place to discuss it.
01:23:28Do you still want her?
01:23:30No, never. It was just a couple of encounters.
01:23:33It was over a year ago.
01:23:35Is she one of the women in your photos?
01:23:37Fuck no. Those were women I liked.
01:23:39Julian, I can't explain this here.
01:23:43Please.
01:23:47I don't understand why anyone would not choose kindness.
01:23:53Life is painful enough.
01:24:01Go to my place.
01:24:04I'll meet you there later.
01:24:07Please.
01:24:09I feel like I have no idea who you really are.
01:24:14And that hurts.
01:24:26I'm not feeling well. Sorry.
01:24:29I'm going home.
01:24:59I love you.
01:25:29I love you.
01:25:59I love you.
01:26:29I love you.
01:26:45You're still here.
01:26:48I was worried you wouldn't.
01:26:50So was I.
01:27:00You look so beautiful tonight.
01:27:07I'm sorry I had my boots on your sofa.
01:27:10Take them off.
01:27:12Please. Let me.
01:27:16I've been admiring them all night.
01:27:19I'm sorry.
01:27:21I love you.
01:27:23I love you.
01:27:25I love you.
01:27:27I've been admiring them all night.
01:27:57I love you.
01:28:28It's okay to voice your pleasure.
01:28:32It reassures me that I don't repulse you.
01:28:36You don't repulse me.
01:28:39I'm glad to hear that.
01:28:58Are you into...
01:29:02the kind of pain Singer provides?
01:29:07No.
01:29:09But you were with her and you let her hurt you.
01:29:13She didn't hurt me.
01:29:16She left no scars, only regrets.
01:29:20Not all scars are physical.
01:29:25I can't be with someone who hits.
01:29:34It is not in my nature to be violent with women.
01:29:39Rather, to be seductive.
01:29:43Anne was an exception.
01:29:47I'm sorry.
01:29:51Anne was an exception.
01:29:54Why her?
01:29:56Why that exception?
01:30:01I was in a dark place.
01:30:05I thought she could help me and...
01:30:09then I was wrong.
01:30:12And I figured it out quickly.
01:30:15What if the darkness comes back?
01:30:19You dispel the darkness, Beatrice.
01:30:24Julianne.
01:30:33I can't bear the thought of someone hitting you.
01:30:37Promise me you'll never go back to her.
01:30:41I'll never ask for anything but that.
01:30:50Nobody has shown me such kindness.
01:30:56Your family has.
01:31:00Just open your eyes.
01:31:04My beautiful, innocent angel.
01:31:10I'm not that innocent.
01:31:18I'm a virgin, but you can't have this idea...
01:31:22that I've never done things before.
01:31:26I mean, I had a boyfriend...
01:31:30and we dated for years.
01:31:35I had a boyfriend and we dated for years.
01:31:40Simon?
01:31:43And we did things.
01:31:45What kind of things?
01:31:49I don't want to know.
01:31:57Did he hurt you?
01:32:04He was impatient and manipulative.
01:32:13He told me I was rigid.
01:32:17Bastard.
01:32:23It wasn't all his fault.
01:32:30Did you love him?
01:32:34No.
01:32:40Kiss me.
01:32:43I want to kiss you all the time.
01:32:47But I don't want to make you feel pressured.
01:32:51So sometimes you'll need to take the lead.
01:33:04Kiss me.
01:33:34I'm sorry.
01:33:36Never apologize for your desires.
01:33:43You're beautiful and sensual.
01:33:50But we have to stop.
01:34:05I love you.
01:34:13Happy birthday, darling.
01:34:16Please do me the honor of gracing me with your presence...
01:34:20at the Royal Ontario Museum this Saturday evening at 6 o'clock.
01:34:24Yours with affection and deepest longing, Gabriel.
01:34:35Good evening, Ms. Mitchell.
01:34:37Your host is waiting for you upstairs.
01:34:39I'll take your coat.
01:34:41Thank you.
01:35:05Hello, handsome.
01:35:17You look stunning.
01:35:25Gabriel, we're in public.
01:35:30Gabriel, we're in public.
01:35:44A corsage?
01:35:48I missed your prom.
01:35:59I missed your prom.
01:36:30How did you arrange all this?
01:36:33I donated a large sum to the Florentine exhibit last spring,
01:36:36so I called in a favor.
01:36:42Florettini, please.
01:36:45Tonic water with a twist of lime.
01:36:47I have wine at home for us.
01:37:00It's so quiet in here.
01:37:09You are the vision.
01:37:13It's going to take all my self-control not to spread it away
01:37:17to the Victorian Furniture Exhibit so I can make love to you
01:37:21in one of the four poster beds.
01:37:29Thank you.
01:37:59Thank you.
01:38:23Stunning.
01:38:30I agree.
01:38:45Does this please you?
01:38:48Yes.
01:39:00Your work of art.
01:39:04Happy birthday.
01:39:07Thank you.
01:39:22Is this all right?
01:39:29Yes.
01:39:59This is perfection, but damn.
01:40:02Professor Emerson.
01:40:05Are you an asthma?
01:40:07Please don't call me professor.
01:40:09Why not?
01:40:11Because I don't want to think about our university policies
01:40:13I'm making right now.
01:40:30I can't breathe.
01:40:44I can hardly call this an ass.
01:40:48I'd have to create a whole new word to describe it in all its glory.
01:41:00Julia.
01:41:04We have to stop.
01:41:13Your lip is swollen.
01:41:16I'm sorry.
01:41:18Does it hurt?
01:41:20It only aches in your absence.
01:41:24You're killing me.
01:41:29I bet it'll be a sweet, sweet death.
01:41:53Don't worry.
01:41:55I'll get the tape of our rectangle against the wall first thing in the morning.
01:41:58You better.
01:42:07It's beautiful.
01:42:09Happy birthday.
01:42:25Thank you.
01:42:55I love it.
01:43:26This is the nicest birthday I've ever had.
01:43:38And it's not over yet.
01:43:42Let's start with dessert first.
01:43:45Chocolate cake.
01:43:47Again, the candles don't move.
