does anyone know what the dialogue in the subway terminal between andrew howard(ian) and elizabeth banks(isabel)was? the whole scene after the joke about "legs akimbo" that includes the lines "sleepwalk through our own lives."
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance.
got the dvd in now, will try to transcribe:
Isabel: what did you mean before when you said I was one of those kind of New York girls?
Ian: (quoting her) "You come from Wales? That's cute. I think I flew over it once."
Isabel: What?!
Ian: Isabel. Named for who? Isabel Archer? Some other 19th-century heroine? One of those I'm-so-smart-I-know-my-literary-name names? Where'd ya go? Vassar? Yale? Harvard? How'm I doin'?
Isabel: I'll stop you when you're wrong.
Ian: And the fact that you're a photographer. Mind you, actors, painters, we're all the same. Super conscious about everyone else, their work. Do you sleepwalk through your own life? You're not really noticing, or interested in anyone.
Isabel: I'm that light?*
Ian: So I'm wrong? What color are my eyes?
Isabel: Blue. Your eyes are blue.
Ian: What's my name?
Isabel: (thinking) . . . *beep* . . .You never told me your name.
Ian: Did you ask? Isabel?
Isabel: Fine. Point you. Will you tell me your name?
(mugger attacks)
*I think that's the line--not entirely sure.

Actually, the line isn't "I'm that light?" It's something along the lines of "Wait, red light." As in stop -- Ian had teasingly asked Isabel to tell him to stop when he got something wrong....
And you know of course that Isabel Archer is the doomed, self-involved if plucky heroine of James's Portrait of a Lady?
"red light" makes much more sense . . . thanks for the correction . . . yes, I knew the Isabel Archer source, but others reading here might not . . . good to let everybody in on it . . . !
