单集文稿 ...

  • So I'd been living in my apartment about 15 years.

  • And one evening I walked in the living room, which has three bay windows which face the gardens in the back.

  • And over half a block of gardens, and across a small street, there was this bright window that I'd never noticed before, but it's at the exact eye level of my third floor apartment.

  • And after a while, I realized that I'd never seen it because there had always been curtains.

  • And so it was always, I think, dimly lit.

  • The curtains were often closed, and all of a sudden there's this bright light and no curtains.

  • And it was like a movie screen.

  • 15 years and that window meant nothing.

  • I haven't even noticed it.

  • And now it's all I think about.

  • There were new tenants, and it had always been a living room.

  • And now it was suddenly a bedroom.

  • And there were these two people in there, and they were naked.

  • This young couple in their twenties, they were really lovey dovey, and they were always naked.

  • From Radiotopia, you're listening to love and radio.

  • Hi, I'm Nick van der Kolk.

  • Today's episode the living room featuring Diane Wipert.

  • The thing is, they pushed their bed so that the head was up against the windows.

  • So their heads, you could see both of their heads lying there.

  • So you'd see things that you just, like.
