The clip piano playing from Sophie's Choice (1982) with Peter MacNicol, Kevin Kline

Not "to" bloom, just "bloom".
She's so good. It's about time she was perfect.
So what? I mean, this is a ridiculous language!
There's too many words!
The word for "velocity": OK, there's "fast", "quick"...
"rapid" and they all mean the same thing.
"Swift", "Speedy"...
"Hasty".
"Flit".
"Brisk".
"Expeditious".
"Accelerated".
"Winged".
No, no! Stop it!
It's ridiculous!
Oh, in French it's so easy. You say: "vit".
Or in polish, "szybko" and in Russian, "bistroy"
It's only in English that it's so complicated!
How many languages do you know?
Well, my father was a Linguistic, so I mean, I...
He taught me German, French, Russian, Hungarian...
the Slavic Languages...
So, what language I'm butchering now?
English!
I bet your father was a very interesting man.
Yeah, my father was...
a civilized man.
That's the word, yeah? "Civilized"?
Very good word.
Yeah? My father was a civilized man living in a non civilized time.
The civilized, they "was" the first to die.
Do you play the piano?
No. I used to play, but I...
I no longer play.
I don't, anymore...
My mother was a beautiful pianist.
Nathan surprised me with that piano on my birthday!
