- It's much easier to be existential when you only know a few words
- of a foreign language. For instance, here is a play I wrote
- in my head in French class today, translated back into English:
-
- THE CAR
-
- MARCEL: Hello
- CHRISTINE: Hi.
- M: I am called Marcel.
- C: I am called Christine.
- [long pause.]
- M: How are you?
- C; I am not bad. How are you?
- M: I am doing quite well.
- C: Excellent.
- [long pause.]
- M: I am from Paris. Where are you from?
- C: I am from Nice.
- M: That's good.
- [long pause]
- M: Goodbye.
- C: So long.
