[!@#$%!]

one thing i just remembered is that the paris guy works as a translator. which very much speaks to what you said.

that is also in the antonioni movie-- the college kids "playing" tennis. regardless of whether or not that is an oxbridge tradition-- where is the ball? and funniest yet-- why do you hear it?

maybe hearing a tennis ball that wasn't there is what inspired coppola, though from antagon's description that was more of a non-subtle movie.
