To arouse. 18:21.435 --> 18:23.896 And with you at the helm, Phil, it always does. 18:24.605 --> 18:26.689 And we couldn't do any of it 18:26.690 --> 18:29.525 without the support of generous board members such as Mrs. Hennessey. 18:29.526 --> 18:31.652 May I steal the maestro for a moment? 18:31.653 --> 18:32.737 Excuse me. 18:32.738 --> 18:37.033 I may have found the perfect person to do our program notes for the new production. 18:37.034 --> 18:38.659 He's an esteemed professor, 18:38.660 --> 18:41.413 and he might just do me a favor and free up his schedule. 18:42.122 --> 18:46.417 Hi, Mary, Howard, this is Phil Delavigne with the LA Metropolitan Ballet. 18:46.418 --> 18:50.087 He's embarking on a thrilling original piece called Ariadne. 18:50.088 --> 18:52.673 It's in your field, right, Howard? Greek mythology? 18:52.674 --> 18:55.092 Yes. The… The metaphor of the labyrinth 18:55.093 --> 18:57.929 has been irresistible to interpretive artists over the years. 18:57.930 --> 19:00.306 I suppose I'm not the first to take it on, though. 19:00.307 --> 19:03.100 I… I hope my take is a fresh one. 19:03.101 --> 19:04.310 Artists have been understandably… 19:04.311 --> 19:07.855 I was used to feeling left out of conversations with Robert's family. 19:07.856 --> 19:09.357 It's the experience we all… 19:09.358 --> 19:12.235 But this wasn't about sailboats or golf swings. 19:12.236 --> 19:14.320 Something more serious was going on. 19:14.321 --> 19:16.240 …in a structure designed by man. 19:16.823 --> 19:18.699 Excuse me just for one moment. 19:18.700 --> 19:23.038 Right, but wouldn't you say that the labyrinth is really… It's a construct. 19:26.083 --> 19:28.960 Harlan. So glad you could make it. 19:28.961 --> 19:30.878 I wouldn't have missed it, kiddo. It's great to see you. 19:30.879 --> 19:32.172 How's Lena? 19:33.048 --> 19:35.800 I thought Robert would have mentioned. Lena and I are-- 19:35.801 --> 19:38.553 Honey, hi.

This is about self-preservation. 20:33.984 --> 20:35.736 So talk to your husband. 20:43.076 --> 20:44.327 What's this? 20:44.328 --> 20:46.120 Seems like you could use it. 20:46.121 --> 20:48.039 That's the last thing I need right now. 20:48.040 --> 20:50.876 I mean, it's the right diagnosis, just the wrong medicine. 20:51.710 --> 20:53.252 I feel you. 20:53.253 --> 20:55.172 That's a great tattoo. Is it a flower? 20:55.797 --> 20:59.468 It's a fractal.

My wife is not the master of espionage that she imagines. 36:05.374 --> 36:08.251 It wasn't a favor. You'll be an asset to the production. 36:08.252 --> 36:11.380 You're a bad liar. But no, Phil offered me the job. 36:11.922 --> 36:14.298 Well, I think he offered it to David. 36:14.299 --> 36:16.592 I think he had me confused with the bartender or something. 36:16.593 --> 36:20.263 Yeah, that sounds like Phil.

Yeah. 36:30.691 --> 36:35.278 I was named after some old dead aunt or other. 36:35.279 --> 36:37.446 Well, there's nothing old about Nancy. 36:37.447 --> 36:42.911 It has the… not the rhyme, but the whisper of dance to it. 36:44.454 --> 36:45.747 You're a dancer, right? 36:46.373 --> 36:48.041 I used to be. Yeah. 36:49.918 --> 36:51.920 I don't know. I think I prefer Louise. 36:55.382 --> 36:57.301 Well, I'll see you at the ballet, Louise. 37:05.434 --> 37:06.643 See you there, David.
