00:00Who is Miss Geraldine Flower?
00:13After Miss Flower passed away, her daughter found a box filled with hundreds of letters.
00:18These made their way into the hands of Miss Emiliana Torini, and more importantly, into
00:22her imagination.
00:23I was hooked.
00:24There's enough love in these letters to fulfill a person for a hundred years.
00:29Letters open people up in ways that nothing else really does.
00:32And so I thought of you.
00:33I imagined you as so many things, and then as a wine.
00:37I want to taste you.
00:39Taste you.
00:44I want to taste you.
00:52Wait.
00:53Wait.
00:54Stop.
00:55There was a voice missing.
00:56Did you love him?
00:57Yes, I loved him.
01:01You realize you have written me 37,271 words in your letter to Nene.
01:07Hidden meanings.
01:08Do I love hidden meanings?
01:09I was intrigued by your letter.
01:10Do I love hidden meanings?
01:11I can't stop thinking about our goodbye.
01:14At least my part in it.
01:16We are only as sick as our darkest secrets.
01:19I have typed this letter three times.
01:22The first was too emotional.
01:25And that seemed to me to be a lack of faith.
01:29Tonight, I hope to capture how I feel without it sounding like words.
01:36I always know when a song is waiting for me.
01:39It hangs over me.
01:40But sometimes you're scrabbling around, trying to feel something.
01:44And you get kind of desperate.
01:46You're waiting for something to ignite and burn a hole through and eat you.
01:50This box of letters did that to me.
01:52I should tell you the story.
01:53Miss Flower.
01:54Dear Jean.
01:55Darling Flower Child.
01:56Dear Joan.
01:57It's my flower.
01:58To the extraordinary Miss Flower.
02:00To the extraordinary Miss Flower.
02:03It's a crazy, stupid story.
