It's like I read Fahrenheit 451, and I have to tell you, when he talked about burning Walt Whitman, I sympathized a little bit, but that's a conversation for another time.

And so I thought, okay, if the rebels are anti-Christian,

Well, what is this woman doing?

She is seducing him.

She's using him because he's useful to her.

He's the engineer, you know, working on the project that she wants to take over.

And then there's a curious little line here.

When she's kind of torturing him, seducing him, luring him in, he doesn't know what to do.

They're in this ancient house.

Why didn't you come?

Why did you send your tickets?

Why did you make me?

Maybe I had to find out whether you'd do everything I wanted, that you were completely mine.

Yes, completely.
