1
00:00:55,389 --> 00:00:59,059
We spoke of those times,
painful and lamented,
2
00:00:59,185 --> 00:01:03,355
when passion is the joy
and martyrdom of youth.
3
00:01:18,704 --> 00:01:22,249
An Eye for Beauty
4
00:02:08,587 --> 00:02:10,547
In the centuries that follow,
5
00:02:11,173 --> 00:02:15,761
a civilization is always judged
by its architecture.
6
00:02:16,804 --> 00:02:19,807
Building is an activity of hope.
7
00:02:19,932 --> 00:02:22,685
The hope that what we create will be useful
8
00:02:22,810 --> 00:02:23,769
and beautiful.
9
00:02:24,687 --> 00:02:28,232
The hope of telling future generations
who we were.
10
00:02:29,066 --> 00:02:31,360
And the hope they will be moved,
11
00:02:31,485 --> 00:02:35,781
as we were by the architecture
of those who came before us.
12
00:02:37,324 --> 00:02:38,325
Thank you.
13
00:02:45,499 --> 00:02:47,585
We love your work.
- Bravo!
14
00:02:47,710 --> 00:02:49,253
Thank you so much.
15
00:02:49,378 --> 00:02:52,798
Canada is magnificent.
The prairies, mountains...
16
00:02:52,923 --> 00:02:53,966
The wild animals.
17
00:02:54,091 --> 00:02:56,051
Forgive me, I have to go.
18
00:02:56,177 --> 00:02:57,469
Again, bravo!
- Thank you.
19
00:02:58,971 --> 00:03:00,306
Where are we tomorrow?
20
00:03:00,431 --> 00:03:02,391
The Booksellers Award.
21
00:03:05,060 --> 00:03:07,271
Congratulations, Mr Sauvageau.
22
00:03:08,689 --> 00:03:09,732
Thanks.
23
00:03:09,857 --> 00:03:10,816
Thanks a lot.
24
00:05:10,436 --> 00:05:11,937
Here's our man!
25
00:05:13,355 --> 00:05:14,481
Hello, darling.
26
00:05:14,606 --> 00:05:15,274
You OK?
27
00:05:15,983 --> 00:05:17,026
Hey there!
28
00:05:18,610 --> 00:05:20,112
We started.
- Perfect.
29
00:05:21,989 --> 00:05:22,990
You made it!
30
00:05:23,866 --> 00:05:25,951
Things good?
- Fine, you?
31
00:05:26,827 --> 00:05:28,370
Hey bud.
- Dude.
32
00:05:29,413 --> 00:05:30,539
How was Toronto?
33
00:05:30,664 --> 00:05:31,623
Uneventful.
34
00:05:32,583 --> 00:05:34,084
Don't you avoid juries?
35
00:05:34,209 --> 00:05:35,544
On principle, yes.
36
00:05:35,669 --> 00:05:39,214
But they pay $1500 per day plus expenses.
37
00:05:40,049 --> 00:05:42,801
These days I can't afford principles.
38
00:05:43,177 --> 00:05:45,304
Sure, and you drive a T-Bird.
39
00:05:46,472 --> 00:05:49,558
Bought at auction. Cheaper than a Toyota.
40
00:05:49,683 --> 00:05:51,894
But a way classier image.
41
00:05:52,019 --> 00:05:54,104
Aren't you building a house?
42
00:05:55,356 --> 00:05:56,899
One. For a lawyer.
43
00:05:57,024 --> 00:05:59,318
Hard to squeeze money from a lawyer.
44
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:02,613
Who else was on the jury?
45
00:06:03,614 --> 00:06:05,657
Canada in all its splendor.
46
00:06:06,575 --> 00:06:08,243
A guy from the West Coast,
47
00:06:08,744 --> 00:06:10,537
who'd worked with Arthur Erickson.
48
00:06:11,038 --> 00:06:12,164
RIP.
49
00:06:13,207 --> 00:06:14,583
One from Saskatoon,
50
00:06:14,708 --> 00:06:15,667
half-Native,
51
00:06:15,793 --> 00:06:17,836
so politically desirable.
52
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:20,130
A big designer from Toronto...
53
00:06:20,589 --> 00:06:21,590
inevitably.
54
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:23,801
And an engineer from Halifax.
55
00:06:23,926 --> 00:06:25,719
Semi-incompetent, but
56
00:06:25,844 --> 00:06:29,598
he lives a stone's throw from the Atlantic.
57
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:30,641
From sea to sea.
58
00:06:31,225 --> 00:06:35,104
And the chairwoman. Faculty dean, decorated,
59
00:06:35,229 --> 00:06:36,772
and Jewish. irreproachable.
60
00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:39,316
And the token French-Canadian.
61
00:06:39,441 --> 00:06:40,067
Yours truly!
62
00:07:57,060 --> 00:07:58,437
How's your plantation?
63
00:07:59,813 --> 00:08:01,148
Come see.
- Now?
64
00:08:01,273 --> 00:08:02,691
Sure.
65
00:08:06,987 --> 00:08:07,946
Not coming?
66
00:08:09,740 --> 00:08:10,657
For the walk.
67
00:08:11,450 --> 00:08:14,286
I did two hours of track today.
I'll stay put.
68
00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:19,249
Here.
69
00:08:20,459 --> 00:08:21,293
Is this it?
70
00:08:25,714 --> 00:08:28,509
Seeds from Humboldt County.
- California?
71
00:08:32,930 --> 00:08:34,348
Sinsemilla?
72
00:08:35,015 --> 00:08:35,933
Even better.
73
00:08:36,266 --> 00:08:37,142
A new hybrid.
74
00:10:24,166 --> 00:10:25,417
What's this?
75
00:10:25,876 --> 00:10:28,295
A steel angle. One on each side.
76
00:10:28,420 --> 00:10:29,630
It's not strong enough.
77
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:32,007
The joint's part of my bracing.
78
00:10:32,132 --> 00:10:33,675
It can't budge.
79
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,260
So what do you want?
80
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:42,976
Bad back?
- It's been a month.
81
00:10:43,644 --> 00:10:45,479
Walking hurts like hell.
82
00:10:46,063 --> 00:10:47,648
Go see Isabelle.
- No time!
83
00:10:48,649 --> 00:10:51,818
I need something like this.
84
00:10:51,943 --> 00:10:52,653
In steel.
85
00:10:55,656 --> 00:10:58,200
How will you hide it?
86
00:10:58,325 --> 00:10:59,242
Furring.
87
00:10:59,618 --> 00:11:00,994
No, not furring.
88
00:11:01,119 --> 00:11:02,663
It'll be hideous.
89
00:11:02,788 --> 00:11:05,290
You're the architect. Find a solution.
90
00:11:05,999 --> 00:11:07,709
I'll find something.
91
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,902
When the Montreal symphony hall opened
92
00:11:34,027 --> 00:11:37,114
the architect was barely mentioned.
93
00:11:37,239 --> 00:11:41,410
The politicians crowed
while critics blasted the acoustician.
94
00:11:41,535 --> 00:11:43,453
Palais Montcalm, same thing.
95
00:11:43,578 --> 00:11:46,915
When our firm designed the Laval hospital,
96
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,793
we weren't invited to the inauguration!
97
00:11:49,918 --> 00:11:52,212
The mayor, ministers, execs...
98
00:11:52,337 --> 00:11:54,589
even the Mafia was invited.
99
00:11:54,715 --> 00:11:56,216
But not the architects!
100
00:11:56,341 --> 00:11:57,300
An oversight.
101
00:11:58,093 --> 00:12:00,512
They warned us in first year:
102
00:12:00,637 --> 00:12:03,432
An architect's only as good as his client.
103
00:12:03,557 --> 00:12:06,643
At least you can teach. You love it.
104
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:08,019
I just can't.
105
00:12:08,979 --> 00:12:10,147
That's life.
106
00:12:10,272 --> 00:12:11,356
She's an MD, I'm an RN.
107
00:12:11,481 --> 00:12:13,442
She earns 3 times my salary.
108
00:12:14,401 --> 00:12:16,111
I work as hard, even harder.
109
00:14:24,656 --> 00:14:26,491
I have to go back to Toronto.
110
00:14:27,659 --> 00:14:28,368
Already?
111
00:14:29,494 --> 00:14:30,328
You just got back.
112
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:35,375
There's a jury for student projects.
113
00:14:36,126 --> 00:14:36,877
They insisted.
114
00:14:38,044 --> 00:14:39,504
We can use the money.
115
00:14:41,298 --> 00:14:42,674
No, Steph. Wait!
116
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:44,092
Not the yellow ones.
117
00:14:44,634 --> 00:14:46,261
The color doesn't work.
118
00:14:49,931 --> 00:14:51,182
Which ones, then?
119
00:14:52,767 --> 00:14:53,476
White.
120
00:14:54,477 --> 00:14:55,562
Yes, white, please.
121
00:15:30,347 --> 00:15:32,182
Playing in the tournament?
122
00:15:32,307 --> 00:15:33,516
Are you crazy?
123
00:15:33,642 --> 00:15:35,143
Why?
- No way.
124
00:15:35,268 --> 00:15:37,562
Why not? You used to compete.
125
00:15:37,896 --> 00:15:39,856
You reached the finals 3 years ago.
126
00:15:40,357 --> 00:15:41,232
You were great.
127
00:15:41,566 --> 00:15:43,234
It made me ill even then.
128
00:15:44,945 --> 00:15:46,446
You never noticed.
129
00:15:47,197 --> 00:15:48,657
I couldn't step back on court.
130
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:52,077
The idea of competing makes me sick.
