Teresa: I always find it very interesting how the gestures that have just been made are completely related to the gestures that have already been made. I like to fantasize about these relationships and... and to think that the gesture I made today, hmm... is completely connected to the gesture that you did the day before... I seem to be seeing this multiplicity of gestures that exist between one time and another. I think of them as ghosts that walk here...
T.S. Eliot: ... Time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future and time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present all time is unredeemable. What might have been is an abstraction remaining a perpetual possibility only in a world of speculation. What might have been and what has been point to one end, which is always present.
Philip: The fact that we are always filming this exercise... hmm... it seems that we are saving ourselves for any future, or rather, the fact that we are recording ... is itself a memory, a memory of a time which we can no longer access. Ah... stopped... There went the memory...
Teresa: But you have another memory there... Is it the memory itself or is it the battery?
Philip: I think it's both.
Teresa: So you have both, if you want. This is what we need. Memory and battery... The recorder is still working.
Philip: Is this memory good?
Teresa: Show.
Philip: 4 gigas. Memory card error.
Teresa: So I do not know ... What were you saying?
