Monty: I've never tried speed dating before... probably because my personality doesn't lend itself to simple first impressions. I'm complicated. It takes a while to appreciate my nuances. I'm sort of like a classic Russian sci-fi film by Tarkovsky... at first, I may seem a bit plain - even dull, perhaps. But with time, strange, hypnot patterns emerge... themes coalaesce... and eventually... Voice: SWITCH! Monty: OK, let's just say in about an hour and 45 minutes from now, I might become almost interesting.
The Tarkovky sf movie is the original film version of “Solaris.” It runs a “mere” 70 minutes longer than the English language version. Monty may be under estimating the time there.
