Overview

As a kid, Leo thought he possessed, like a magician, the secret power to make things happen. As a young man, he certainly knows how to make things happen with women. But as his best friend Krantz would say to him, "Why do you always ask questions you already know answers to?" Leo believes firmly in what he invents from one day to the next. Images, impressions, stories fill his head. That's just how he is: life, for Leo, is just a game. Behind this childlike attitude, hides the very essence of his own life's quest.

00:59:34 and we got caught in a big storm

01:05:32 All right guys, I just wanted to make sure that you were aware

01:09:19 759! Go!

01:12:37 Oh yeah? Want a box to put those in?

01:17:08 It is the middle of the night, and you're sleeping.

01:22:17 There's no hot water and the cold is running thin

01:24:52 and everything is going to be all right.

01:28:10 Carl. Carl!

01:31:23 He was there with another woman.

01:36:06 until our feet left the ground, and then she'd let go.

02:02:00 I'm talking about in your fantasies.
