mostly, refreshingly, I didn't take the movie personally

Notes from Roman Polanski's The Ghost Writer, a scene between characters played by Olivia Williams and
Ewan McGregor:

Married?
No.
Homosexual?
No.
Girlfriend, then?
More than that.
Partner?
Less than that. 40,000 years of human language and there's no word to describe our relationship. Doomed.

Missing you fiercely just now. Good night, darling. Kisses.
