00:06:27 you see that?
00:06:27 --to her fake
00:06:29 How do you know
00:06:31 You know what's the worst part?
00:06:33 She gets away with not having
00:06:35 a real personality.
00:06:37 Bag looks real to me.
00:06:39 (girl laughs)
00:06:53 Let me guess--

00:07:16 Well, I don't even
00:07:20 Well, the truth is,
00:07:23 I think you're
00:07:25 and I was compelled
00:07:28 And normally
00:07:30 to my compulsions so easily,
00:07:32 but I'm trying to embrace
00:07:37 that involves succumbing.
00:07:40 And, I mean, if-- if I
00:07:43 I'm glad I'm
00:07:48 Hey--
00:07:50 Think of this drink as...
00:07:53 as an investment
00:07:57 of mutual growth

00:44:29 You speak English?
00:44:30 You speak German?
00:44:33 Why would I speak German?
00:44:35 Why would I speak English?
00:44:38 Because everybody
00:44:40 If that is true,
00:44:42 in the first place?
00:44:43 Let me guess...
00:44:46 You're an American
00:44:48 revolves around you.
00:44:49 You probably don't even
00:44:52 besides English.
00:44:53 That's not true.
00:44:56 (speaks mock-Ethiopian)
00:44:59 That means, um,
00:45:04 Well, why don't you
00:45:06 - Because I'm an American.
00:45:08 Your face is Chinese,
00:45:12 your eyes are Chinese,
00:45:16 But you probably
00:45:18 about your culture.
00:45:19 It's a pity you don't
00:45:23 I know more
00:45:25 Your drink.

00:46:00 It's so beautiful.
00:46:02 beautiful Shanghai is.
00:46:03 Most of these

00:46:07 Refresh my memory.
00:46:10 the opium wars, right?
00:46:11 Who's that?
00:46:13 Never mind.

00:46:18 And so funny!
00:46:20 Yeah, but you don't laugh
00:46:22 You're still funny.
00:46:24 Are all Americans
00:46:26 You should know.
00:46:29 three years, right?
00:46:30 I use sense of humor
00:46:33 when I'm nervous.
00:46:35 At least that's what
00:46:37 You're in analysis?
00:46:40 Yeah, ever since
00:46:42 when I asked out
00:46:44 She called me a doody-head
00:46:46 my pants during recess.
00:46:48 (gasps)
00:46:50 I can't really blame her,
00:46:52 Because I was
00:46:54 a doody-head,
00:46:55 But then I got really
00:46:58 my penis size.
00:46:58 Uh, I mean,
00:47:03 But I was seven,
00:47:05 a seven-year-old

00:47:27 Are you nervous?
00:47:29 Yeah, a little bit.
00:47:31 Do I intimidate you?
00:47:35 You have no idea.
00:47:52 How was that?
00:47:55 I'd say "let's go
00:47:58 But I don't know
