36
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: to New York where like his restaurants are and his

00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: ex wife is and his other kids are, and like

38
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: so he does and Alena and the way he paints

39
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: it is that Aleno like really resents him for it,

40
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: and it's like becomes really kind of mean to his

41
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: like former kids and you.

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,600

00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: to his first set of children.

44
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: The way he describes her. I I at first, I

45
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: had very little sympathy for hour. It was just like,

46
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, he had a stroke, he has an

47
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: ex wife, he has ex kids. Like you can't like

48
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: if she's supportive of him, like that's great, Like don't

49
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: you want more help in this like situation? Don't you

50
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: want more hands on deck? And like you're really gonna

51
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: feel territorial now, Like that just feels so like insecure,

52
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: But as you read on and you remember the relationship,

53
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: you kind of feel like that was an insecurity that

54
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: was maybe always there that's just coming out more. And

55
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: she just never felt like she like he didn't respect

56
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: her as much because Lynn and him were business partners

57
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: and restauranteurs together, and they are so.

58
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: So sang right where it's like, well, the first wife

59
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 2: who you know, maybe he can really like speak to about,

60
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: you know, the ins and outs of the odeon and

61
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: everything in their lives. But he, you know, fall deeply

62
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: in love for Lena and is so sexually attracted to yeah,

63
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: because she's like amazing because she's her sex and the

64
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: city friends at Pravda, right, I'm just like, well yeah,

00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 2: Just like and he's.

69
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: Like myself, this dumb bitch.

70
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: But like and also there's all these you know, and

71
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: Elena's trying if he were if he were coming into

72
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: his hospital room and he's like fully stroke paralyzed and

73
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: they're riding him.

74
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: But the thing is, if you were actually working classroom

75
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: bethnal Green, like he would be like so fucking like

76
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: I hit the jackpot with Elena, Like he would not

77
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: be making her feel inadequate by wanting to talk about

78
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: like plays and fucking Fauvism with Lynn. And in addition

79
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: to like everything, he's salvaging for the restaurant or whatever, right.

80
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: And he has this dig in Elena where he's like,

81
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: I made it. It's so important for me to take

82
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: George and Alice my kids with Elena to like all

83
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: these museums, and I'm always taking them to Hamburg to

84
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: like see this painting. And I was afraid when I

85
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: had my stroke that she wouldn't be doing that. But

86
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: she cared about their education, and he was like kind

87
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: of like, I don't really care about schools.

88
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: Right, He's like, I'm like, I'm so badass. I only

89
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,560
