  • It's from the Yaghan language,

  • which is now a dead language.

  • But it was spoken in Tierra del Fuego,

  • the very southernmost point of South America.

  • I've never heard the word said properly,

  • so I could be pronouncing it wrong.

  • But the meaning is quite beautiful.

  • It means that moment or feeling

  • when two people both want to initiate something,

  • but neither wants to be the one to start it.

  • It can be perhaps two tribal leaders

  • both wanting to make peace,

  • but neither wanting to be the one to begin it.

  • Or it could be two people at a party

  • wanting to approach each other

  • and neither quite brave enough to make the first move.

  • man: Tonight I am hanging out with Emily.

  • woman: Okay. man: But I was planning

  • on telling her exactly how I feel about her.

  • And then I don't know.

  • So I was calling my mother to see--

  • what should I say to this woman?

  • [woman laughing]

  • Okay.

  • I don't know. I just think that, you know--

  • just concentrate on the fact that, you know,

  • you have very, very high feelings of esteem for her,

  • that she's somebody that you've always admired.

  • man: "Esteem"? Is that the word I should use?

  • Esteem?

  • You think she'd like that?

  • woman: Yeah. Whatever.

  • man: I just don't know if that's--

  • woman: You hold her in very high regard.

  • man: Ok--I don't know if those--

  • woman: She's a special person in your life.

  • man: Okay. I'll try all that.

  • Hey. I am on the train now.

  • This is my friend Emily.

  • [romantic music]

  • man: Theresa, look at me.

  • Theresa: [scoffs]

  • Oh, my God.

  • Oh, my God.

  • Aah!

  • [romantic music continues]

  • Uh, I asked her if she wanted

  • to go on a romantic date with me sometime,

  • and she says, "No."

  • Just--just no.

  • That's really all she said.

  • Just "no."

  • She didn't want any of that.

  • Ever, possibly. Never, ever.

  • And so, uh...

  • Well, actually, I said,

  • "What about the possibility of a possibility?"

  • And she said-- She said no to that.

  • No possibility. None.

  • woman: Okay, let me say that it is meant

  • for women to kneel down.

  • For example, a woman is supposed to kneel down for a man.

  • man: Mm-hmm.

  • Do you want to show us how you do it?

  • woman: Yes.

  • man: So you greet Moses, like, traditionally.

  • [Moses speaking native language]

  • man: Wow. Wow.

  • Moses, how do you feel about it?

  • She comes, and she kneels down every day?

  • Moses: Yes, because I'm a man.

  • She has to respect.

  • woman: It's the culture.

  • [upbeat music]

  • [cheers and applause]

  • so I was a little nervous to tell you.

  • Um...

  • I-I love you too.

  • Yeah.

  • I love you too.

  • And I'm hoping that--

  • that maybe you can love Nick too,

  • um, because he's really important to me,

  • so I'm hoping he can be really--

  • really important to you too.

  • Yeah.

  • Well, that-- that means a lot to me.

  • Yeah. Thank you.

  • I--Yeah, I love--

  • I love you too.

  • I do. Yeah.

  • Yeah, my parents know. Yes.

  • Well, Grandma, they call it being gay now.

  • You don't have to say "homosexual."

  • It's not--Yeah.

  • Yes, it's not a disease. Thank you.

  • man: Here, throw some cheese to those ducks.

  • Get closer to them. I'm taking a video, Sarah.

  • Sarah: They might bite me.

  • man #2: Just tell me what do you want me to do.

  • man: Just...just...

  • man: So marriage truth number one--

  • uh, love is a battlefield.

  • [laughter]

  • Um, listen, you two are going to fight like hooded roosters.

  • Let's just get it out there. It's science.

  • You know, place any two animals in a contained area together,

  • um, you know, there will be awesome tenderness,

  • but also there will be blood.

  • [laughter]

  • Tristam: That is my pocket Walt Whitman.

  • He was surely one of the greatest poets that ever lived,

  • and if my babies can read Walt Whitman day and night

  • and learn from him, I'll be very happy.

  • After all, babies, he did say,

  • "I am August.

  • I do not trouble my soul to vindicate itself."

  • No, he didn't say "soul." He said, "I do not trouble..."

  • woman: That's enough, Tristam, you'll use up all the memory.

  • This is self-indulgent, and-- Please stop.

  • They need winding. Please stop, Tristam.

  • Tristam: "I do not trouble my spirit..."

  • woman: Stop being so selfish and putting yourself first.

  • Please, I've been looking after them all day.

  • Just stop it.

  • Tristam: "I do not trouble my soul to--

  • "I do not trouble my spirit

  • to vindicate itself or be understood."

  • woman: Okay, fine.

  • to address one or two shortcomings

  • in, uh, the physical side of marriage.

  • Surely no one would argue

  • that there are certain physical demands

  • a wife can request of a husband,

  • and Ann asks you that you address these issues right now.

  • [laughter]

  • Do you agree to wash the windows inside and out?

  • [laughter]

  • man speaking native language: It's like at the gym.

  • You grab here,

  • you grip there,

  • and you position yourself with parallel feet

  • so you can use your dorsal muscles.

  • Then you pull.

  • [woman laughs]

  • woman speaking native language: Oh, really?

  • man: Ann, John asks if you will agree

  • to let him do that thing

  • you once told him you would let him do on his 40th birthday,
