in that clip he says "in greek nostalgia means the pain from an old wound" (sufix -algia = pain)

which connects to Pete last night talking about the wound that never heals...to a woman whose memories are continually erased and for whom there is no material be nostalgic about...

crazy how true this show is to its own motifs
