00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,389
(♪ "Concerto in D for String Orchestra"
by Stravinsky)

2
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,755
(♪ "Take the 'A' Train" by Billy Strayhorn)

3
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,435
The essence of life isn't comic.

4
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,397
It's tragic.

5
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,110
There's nothing intrinsically funny
about the terrible facts of human existence.

6
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,718
Oh, I disagree. Philosophers call it absurd
because, in the end, all you can do is laugh.

7
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,873
Human aspirations
are so ludicrous and irrational.

8
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,714
I mean, if the underlying reality
of our being was tragic,

9
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,360
my plays would make more than yours,

10
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,399
because my stories would resonate
more profoundly with the human soul.

11
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:25,316
I mean, it's exactly because tragedy
hits on the truly painful essence of life

12
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,994
that people run to my comedies for escape.

13
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,229
No, no.

14
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,596
Tragedy confronts. Comedy escapes.

15
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,274
Look, you guys,
what are we discussing here?

16
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,276
Is... is there a deeper reality in comedy or
tragedy? Who can make such ajudgment?

17
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,717
Look, let me tell you a story and you tell me,
is it material for a comedy or a tragedy?

18
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,711
This happened to some people I know.

19
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,588
It's a small dinner party. The hosts
are trying to impress one of their guests.

20
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,832
Suddenly the doorbell rings and out of
nowhere an unexpected person shows up.

21
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:58,593
- A man or a woman?
- A woman. I'll give you the details

22
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,069
and you tell me comedy or tragedy.
