Not explained?

It is from the second season episode 'The Americanisation of Machiko'. She is crying cause she is a Japanese war bride who can't fit in and sam is wiping away the crappy make up one of his former dates / lovers 'helped' her with.

But I'm guessing you knew that so I don't really get the question ...

fucking hell, I didn't know that, thatnks for the heads up dude. My misundersatnding comes from the fact that I for years misheard the opening, it is of course 'therorizing that one could time travel in his own lifetime' I always though it was 'here lies one that could time travel in his one life time' and this was the eulogy of a tearful lover that knew he was already dead and could never return home, there goes jimmny over complicating thing again...I thought that Elijah Wood in the Ice Storm was the younger version of the tobey maguire character and it was some elaborate time slip relationship drama...oh boy
