"The Craigslist Killer Original Air Date onJanuary 3, 2011" "== sync, corrected by elderman == [people chattering]" "Hi." "[Woman] See you in Genetics?" "[Woman] Thanks for lunch." "I'm really glad you guys got to see the new clinic." "Are you kidding?" "Think we'd come to Boston and not see our girl?" "We're so proud of you." "Hey, Phil, I need your help on my cadaver." "Okay." "I've been trying, like, for six hours to find the posterior thoracic nerve, and if I don't dig it up soon, Lenhoff is gonna cut me open." "Yeah, I know." "Posterior thoracic is a bitch." "Um, I need" " I need-- Janet." "Janet, love, we need you." "Come here." "Why don't I like the sound of that?" "It's all in the interest of science, dear." "Trust me?" "Sure." "Put your left hand up." "Tom, pay attention." "You just dig behind-- Sorry my hands are cold." "Dig behind the scalenus medius, then you move aside the brachial plexus, and then slide down to the serratus anterior." "And there you have it-- posterior thoracic." "You finished, Philip?" "Yes." "I thank" "Science thanks you." "Tom here thanks you." "I thank you." "I gotta go." "Study, okay?" "[Tom] Sure." "Any thoughts on why we're seeing shortness of breath, lethargy and dizziness in a 7-year-old?" "Eisenmenger's syndrome." "I mean, that would go with the pulmonary hypertension." "[Doctor] That's a bit of a leap, Mr. Markoff." "But assuming your hypothesis is correct, why are we seeing the low heart rate, and diminished reflex, and a lack of affect?" "Perhaps the fact that a 7-year-old boy is alone and his parents wouldn't bother to be with him when he's in the hospital." "Hmm." "Personalizing, Philip?" "No, sir." "Here you are, baby." "I had to go all the way to the CVS on Commonwealth to get you the cherry kind." "It'll be right here waiting for you when you wake up." "Ah." "There's a lesson for you all." "Things are not always what they appear to be, and even the remarkable Mr. Markoff isn't perfect." "[laughter]" "All right, guys." "Next patient." "I only torture you, because when every major hospital comes clamoring for you to do your residency with them," "I want you to realize that this place recognizes your talent and is gonna push you to be even better." "Also, I" " Well, I kind of like torturing you." "[chuckles]" "Oh." "Sorry." "Don't turn around." "Uh, what part of "Don't turn" didn't you understand?" "Oh, sorry." "Um, he is locked in." "Um, I think he's looking at you." "Uh, no." "He is definitely looking at you." "[chuckles] I don't think so." "Damn." "He could not get cuter if he was holding a teddy bear and a puppy." "[Doctor Mr. Markoff?" "Yes?" "We need your genius." "He li-i-ikes you." "[laughs] [muttering]" "Butene... [mutters] [sighs] Cyclooctene..." "Antiaromatic." "Ah, aromatics are tough." "Yeah." "[chuckles]" "Um, I can never figure out which electrons to put where." "You wanna know a trick?" "Don't memorize, diagram." "I'm Philip, by the way." "Markoff." "We actually-- We met the other day for a second." "Well, we didn't really meet." "We just kind of bumped." "Yeah." "Um, I'm Megan..." "McAllister." "So that's cool." "You're" " You're helping out at the clinic." "Yeah." "And you're, uh, going to med school." "That I am." "That's cool, too." "Yeah, I should really be going, 'cause I have to study." "I have this huge test in 17 hours." "Whoa." "You've got a test tomorrow, and you are studying?" "Yeah." "That's what people do." "No, not me." "[laughs] Um, okay, so what do you think should be doing?" "I think you should be cutting loose, airing out your brain." "Right." "Right." "So, when I fail the test tomorrow, can I write that theory in at the essay portion of my medical school applications?" "Uh, so you're" "Where" " Where you applying?" "Here, he asks hopefully?" "Hmm?" "Um, probably Brent." "I probably won't get in." "Um..." "They really would be lucky to have you." "You don't even know me." "Oh, my God." "That's true." "Wow." "Okay." "Come on." "I'll quiz you on the way." "On the way where?" "729." "I got your page number." "On the way to the place I always go the night before an exam." "Uh, you know what?" "I really have to study, and I'm-- I'm not that, you know," ""run away with a guy I've only known for 30 seconds" type of girl, so..." "Okay." "[clears throat]" "Um, okay." "SUNY Albany, summa cum laude." "Uh, B.U. med school, second year, top 5% of my class." "Not bragging." "I love animals." "I don't like birds, though." "I am an unapologetic member of the Young Republicans, but I also don't really like to talk politics." "Uh, sometimes I work too hard." "And when I was little," "I really hated wearing full-length pants." "Strange." "I know." "[laughs]" "And, um, in case you haven't noticed, I really like you." "So I'll pick you up at 8:00?" "I, um-- I have to change." "Don't do that." "Never do that." "I like you just the way you are." "I meant my clothes." "Right." "Clothes." "All right." "I'll pick you up at 7:30, then." "Okay." "All right." "Okay." "So the trick to roulette, or at least my theory is you gotta feel the numbers." "You've gotta really, really kind of get in sync with the wheel." "Are you hearing yourself right now?" "Yeah, it works." "Watch." "Here." "I'll show you." "Final bets, please." "Place your bets." "Is this you hearing or feeling the number?" "Mm-hmm." "[laughing]" "Last chance, people." "I got it." "Black 22." "Oh!" "Oh." "Red 12." "I don't think that theory works." "Or maybe someone was distracting me." "Oh, so now it's my fault?" "Yes, of course, it was your fault." "Fine." "Blame it on me." "You're a bad person." "[laughing]" "Your drinks, sir." "Oh." "Thank you." "Oh, my gosh." "That's a very pink drink." "I have to be good." "It's a school night." "All right." "Trust me, though." "The rush is gonna be good for you, and it releases the endorphins, gets your brain working." "Cyclopropene." "Um, aromatic?" "There you go." "All right." "Here we go." "See?" "You know this stuff." "You just gotta trust yourself." "Okay." "Oh, okay." "Take these." "Here we go." "Close your eyes." "Okay." "And really feel them." "Feeling them." "Right." "Last chance." "Final bets." "I want 7." "Red 7." "Yes." "Oh, my God!" "[laughing]" "Whoa." "Red 7." "We got a winner here." "That's insane." "Look at that." "Oh, my God." "Wow." "[laughing]" "I know this is probably way too late, but you're not dating anyone, right?" "Well, I was dating Leonardo DiCaprio, and then he moved to Hollywood and got all famous, so I dumped him." "Right." "Yeah." "So I think we're good." "What are you doing for lunch?" "When?" "I don't know." "The next 50, 60 years?" "Well, I have to check my book, Okay." "but..." "Hey, wait." "Wait, wait, wait." "What?" "Are you okay?" "Yeah, yeah." "Hi." "Mmm." "Mmm." "Welcome home." "Yay!" "All right." "Let's go inside." "It's cold." "You're still cold?" "Ooh." "Heat." "Yay." "You cold?" "Yeah." "Give me your hands." "My mom used to do this to keep my hands warm when I was little." "It warms them up." "This may be the cutest thing ever." "[chuckles]" "Mmm." "Mmm." "Have you told your parents we've moved in together yet?" "Philip, I'm" "Look, it's important to you, okay?" "So it's important to me." "I know And I'm gonna tell them." "I promise." "I just don't wanna deal with the... [sighs] "You're so young." ""You've only known him for six months." "Are you sure about this?" Blah, blah, blah." "But I promise you I'm gonna tell them." "Okay." "Hey, I have an idea." "Uh-oh." "How about we stop unpacking, Mm-hmm." "order Chinese food, and study together?" "Well, that sounds nice." "But I got a study group tonight" "I got to go to." "Microanatomy." "Boo." "Right?" "And the worst part is it's probably gonna go all night, so I wouldn't wait up for me either." "But we can celebrate tomorrow." "I'm a med school widow already." "I knew this would happen." "[chuckles] You are not." "Stop it." "Well, can you at least drop these off for me?" "What, are those applications?" "Yep." "I only have one more to go." "All right, all right." "Well... you're getting into B.U., so I wouldn't stress it." "[chuckles]" "I like you." "I like you, too." "Do you really have to go?" "Yeah, I do." "But I will kiss you right when I get home, okay?" "Yeah." "I love you." "I love you, too." "Bye." "Bye." "[sighs]" "[Megan] I feel like a tourist." "[Philip] Just, you know, squint your eyes and then pretend you're in Paris." "[speaks French]" "Say what?" "It means I'm freezing my butt off." "Oh, does it?" "Here." "Get in here." "What are you doing?" "How's that?" "Is that better?" "Mmm." "Much better." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "You can start calling me Pocket." "What's in here?" "Driver, will you stop the carriage for a second?" "What's going on?" "You trust me?" "Should I?" "Megan McAllister," "I love you with all of my heart." "Will you marry me?" "Philip, there's nothing I want more than to marry you, but..." "But what?" "I haven't even graduated yet." "and you're still in med school, and you haven't even met my parents." "Well, let's go." "Right now." "Tonight." "We can leave this second." "We'll go to New Jersey." "Driver, do you think this horse can make it to New Jersey?" "I think the horse is gonna get really tired and sick, but then we'll drive." "They're gonna go crazy." "Babe, I know this might sound a little old-fashioned, but I really want their blessing." "I want them to be happy for us." "I love you so much." "I love you, too." "♪ [pop]" "Philip, it's just my parents." "It's gonna be fine." "They're gonna love you." "♪ [continues]" "Oh, Megan." "Hey." "Hi." "Oh, honey, hi, hi." "Mom, Dad, this is Philip." "Hello, Philip." "It's a pleasure to meet you." "I was told you like roses, Mrs. McAllister." "My weakness." "Thank you." "And please, call me Susan." "Susan." "Ahem." "And I'm told your weakness is Pinot grigio." "I guess my secret is out." "[laughter] I haven't had this one." "Thank you." "So, let's go inside." "Lunch should be ready any moment." "Yeah." "Come on in." "[laughter]" "Wow, Philip-- you really must rate." "Mom doesn't bring out the silver for just anybody." "[Laughs] Well, it just seems a shame to keep something so pretty... [conversation drowns out]" "Philip?" "Philip." "Philip?" "Yeah." "Thank you, I'd love some." "Mmm." "Looks so good." "[clears throat]" "So, uh, Mr. McAllister" "Uh-uh-uh-uh." "I'm sorry." "Um, David-- Better." "I hear that you have an awesome short game." "You play?" "Oh, yeah." "Mr. McAllister, you know why we came here today." "Yes, I do, and..." "I'm sure you can imagine some of the questions I have." "Absolutely." "I mean, what's the rush, right?" "Yeah." "Aren't you too young?" "Mm-hmm." "What about your studies?" "And how do I know I can trust you with the person that I care about the most in all the world?" "Yeah, that-- that about sums it up." "Well, sir, with me, what you see is pretty much what you get." "I grew up near Syracuse, parents split when I was a kid." "Not rich, no handouts." "I had to work my way through school." "Summa cum laude from SUNY Albany." "And I love your daughter very much." "You sound like the American Dream." "Isn't that a good thing, sir?" "Mr. McAllister..." "I would like very much to spend the rest of my life making Megan happy." "You know, there's no rush." "You guys could live together for a bit, really get to know each other." "We have been living together for a bit." "Really?" "I mean, it just works great, you know?" "He's amazing, and he's at the top of his class, and he helps me, and we study together." "And it's crazy, but... we're just great for each other." "[Laughs] He'll still charge you." "That's exactly right-- by the hour." "Megan, you managed to find a young man capable of crushing it 300 yards off the tee and keeping it in the middle of the fairway." "[overlapping chatter]" "Okay." "Okay." "Bye, baby." "Love you, too." "Nice meeting you guys." "Drive safely." "Okay." "[laughs]" "I told you." "I told you, Pocket." "It's gonna be happily ever after for you and me." "It's amazing." "[indistinct] Ha ha!" "Okay, so..." "Huh?" "Ask me again." "What?" "!" "Come on, please ask me again." "All right." "[clears throat]" "Megan McAllister, I love you with all my heart." "Yes!" "Will you marry-- [laughter]" "Yes, yes." "Okay." "Mmm." "That was fast." "Well, I couldn't wait to meet you." "Mmm, charmer." "I like that." "[Photographer] Oh, it's great." "Big smile." "Is my tie okay?" "Yeah." "[laughing] Some of this?" "Can you remind me why-- what this is for again?" "It's for the web site." "We have a web site?" "It's going to be a pink web site." "Yes." "[Photographer] Smiling." "What happened?" "[laughs]" "Oh!" "You look like Ken and Barbie." "Did he say Ken and Barbie?" "Yeah." "Is he making fun of us?" "No, it's cute." "[Photographer] Hey, great." "You're a beautiful couple." "You're a beautiful couple." "[Megan] This is going to be the wedding web site to end all wedding web sites." "Babe, this is looking so cute!" "Hey, oh, are you busy?" "No, I'm not busy at all." "I'm just looking at genetic notes." "But go ahead." "Tell me about this web site." "Well, it's going to be where we're registered and everything, obviously." "But then there's going to be pictures and there's ing to be a countdown." "It's like a rocket launch." "There's gonna be a quiz for all our friends to take to see how well they know us." "Doesn't really matter how well other people know us." "It's about how well we know each other." "God, I like you." "I like you, too." "We should get married." "Ha ha!" "I'm so excited to finally meet your family." "Um...babe, I wanted to talk to you about that, okay?" "I talked to them, and I don't know if they're going to be able to make it." "What are you talking about?" "It's our engagement party." "I know." "Philip, we're getting married." "Don't you think it's strange that I haven't met your family?" "Well, we're a strange family." "We're all nice to you now, Philip, but if you mess with our little sister" "Yeah, okay, I promise-- I will be good." "You have nothing to worry about." "You better be." "Hey, what are you doing with my fiancé?" "Nothing." "No, they're just scaring the ever-living crap out of me." "We like this guy." "I told you-- he's a good one." "And look--I found my maid of honor." "Ah, one of 19." "Not to mention the three flower girls, the two ring bearers" "But you're my favorite." "Thank you." "No, I know it's not all about just the one day." "It's about spending the rest of my life..." "Sorry, can you guys excuse me for a second?" "Yeah." "Now, which one of you boys wants to get me a drink?" "Philip." "Oh, it's so good to see you." "Oh, this house-- it's so beautiful." "It's" "Philip..." "Philip what?" "Hey, I didn't scare you off with all the wedding talk, did I?" "No, no, no." "Okay, sorry." "I'm Philip's mother." "Oh, my gosh!" "It's so nice to finally meet you!" "My parents cannot wait to introduce you to everyone." "This is" "Okay, don't move." "I'll be right back." "I'll be right back." "She's very beautiful." "Mm-hmm." "Oh, I see your father's, huh?" "He's already good friends with the McAllisters?" "You're still keeping score, huh, Mom?" "You know, if it makes you feel any better," "Dad's never met them before today, either, okay?" "The happy family together again." "Well, I" " I'm not seeing your brother, so I'm guessing that he wasn't invited." "Guess whatever you want." "[overlapping chatter] [music and chatter drowns out]" "[camera clicks]" "[camera clicking]" "So, I was thinking, for every day, we could do the Kate Spade Sag Harbor dinner plates in the polka dots, and then the salad plates in stripes, because the stripes and the polka dots look really good together." "Especially on the deck of our beautiful beach house that we're gonna have one day." "Nice." "And, for when we invite the head of the hospital over-- who neither one of us can stand" "I was thinking we could do the Royal Doulton Etoile, or the Spode India Tree." "What do you think?" "Oh, well, I think the guy that comes up with these names has way too much time on his hands, personally." "[laughs] Ooh, and I got the countdown going." "Look." "I mean, I know it's cheesy, but 's cute, right?" "[laughs] You know, you gotta have it." "Mm-hmm." "And it's in pink." "Jan--Janet, a friendly face." "That is exactly what I needed." "You're in scrubs?" "You look cute." "Where were you today?" "You missed a bunch of stuff on test." "I missed a lot of stuff." "But I don't really" " I don't care." "Because I've got you, and you're gonna give me notes." "Because you're a good friend." "Sorry, friend." "No, wait, wait, wait." "Ohh!" "Philip, you're drunk." "We're friends, right?" "Sure, we're friends." "But you're getting a little close." "Philip, stop." "What--Come on." "No, knock it off!" "Don't you say no to me." "Yeah?" "Watch me." "Really?" "What's wrong with you?" "What would your fiancée say about this if she found out about you?" "Ohh!" "What did you say?" "You threatening me?" "Uh" "Uh..." "Rhinestones." "Oh, okay." "Um..." "Wow." "Does that come with a light switch?" "Let's look at some other dresses." "[laughter]" "[Philip] Are these those disposable phones, the ones that can't be traced or tracked, anything like that?" "Yeah, no I.D., no nothing." "All right, thanks." "It's a lot of dress." "I like the way it moves." "Really?" "Moves?" "It's like a tsunami." "Ohh." "Oh, my God." "I am never getting married." "When you meet someone who makes you feel like Philip makes me feel-- and you will-- you'll do anything to show him how much you love him-- even wear a tsunami dress." "Oh, wow, okay." "We've got cakes to taste." "Go, get changed." "Quickly, quickly." "We have to go!" "Don't touch anything." "We'll be back in an hour." "We are going to find a dress." "Yes, we are." "[laughter]" "[cell phone beeps]" "Mmm." "This is good." "Oh, that's yummy." "You like it?" "Mm-hmm." "Megs... you cannot go with this one." "Why not?" "Because all of your guests will die of pleasure, and you will have that on your conscience." "I'm serious." "This is so good." "Let me see." "It's perfect." "[cell phone beeps] Mmm!" "It's so good." "It's like raspberry something." "Oh, you guys, look." "My fiancé misses me." "Aww, he's the best boyfriend ever." "Just a little bit more of that." "[laughter]" "Looks like a very interesting project." "Yep." "You can put my number in any of these phones, if you want." "[chuckles]" "30, 32." "Hope it's not much longer." "I know." "Let's hope that she" "Wow." "Good one?" "Staggering." "Wow." "I just want you to love it." "You are going to be the most beautiful bride ever." "I'm getting married!" "[cheers and laughter]" "Congratulations!" "It's great." "This is the one for sure." "I'll need to see some I.D." "That's me, man." "Brian Stevens." "Yeah." "[no audible dialogue]" "Hey, Phil." "Hey, man." "How you doing?" "Janet, can I talk to you for a sec?" "Uh, sure." "Cool." "So, listen, I just wanted to apologize for the other night, 'cause I was really drunk." "No, I was out of line." "Forget it." "And it's not okay." "But I just want to let you know-- if you even think about messing with me and my fiancée," "I swear to God" "You understand?" "Okay." "Yeah." "All right." "Good." "[laughs] Okay." "All right." "[clears throat]" "All right, guys, I'm out." "Got to get to class." "Later dude." "All right, see you." "[Man] And that concludes the scintillating video portion of our presentation." "You will see that offspring 4 is not sharing the same characteristics with offspring 7." "Mr. Markoff, from which parent did offspring 4 receive chromosome 13?" "The father, obviously." "That locus is linked to congenital blindness, which doesn't appear in the maternal line." "Nobody likes a smartass, Mr. Markoff." "Thank you." "All right, any questions?" "Yes, sir." "STUDENT:" "This genetic condition-- [beeping]" "Philip, call me back, please." "I just tried to take out some cash, and it says the account is overdrawn." "Don't worry about it." "I'll pay, my treat." "Hey, baby it's me." "Can you call me back?" "Bye." "I'm sure there's an explanation." "You should call the bank or something." "ATMs screw up all the time." "I've called Philip three times in the past hour, and he hasn't called me back." "He's probably in class." "I'm telling you, it's just a bank screw-up." "You guys are starting a life together, Megs." "If you're gonna marry him, you have to trust him." "Okay?" "Hey." "The strawberry is great." "Ooh." "[cell phone rings] [gasps]" "See?" "Drama queen." "Hello?" "Where have you been?" "Hey, baby." "I'm at the dean's office right now." "Listen, Megan, I'm so sorry about the whole money thing." "I got this N.I.H. grant, and the check came late, but I'm getting it Monday morning, so I'll put the money back in the account first thing, okay?" "No, it's okay." "I mean...yeah." "No, no, no, no." "I'm totally serious." "We're supposed to be a team, you know?" "I want us to be able to tell each other everything." "No secrets." "Look, sweetheart, I gotta let you go." "But I wanted to call and let you know that I am very sorry." "Your fiancé is a big, dumb idiot, and that it's all taken care of." "Okay." "I love you so much." "I love you, too." "Bye." "[pop] [gasps]" "Yay!" "To my best friend's wedding." "Mmm, Red Sox, huh?" "My favorite team." "Come on in." "You got some mail." "Oh." "It's from B.U." "Ooh, hello, Dr. McAllister." "It's really thin." "Open it." ""Dear Miss McAllister, thank you for this application." "We--"" "[sighs]" "No?" "Oh, man." "But-- [laughs]" "You're way too cute to be shy." "Oh." "Is that what you're into?" "You want me to tie you up?" "No." "You." "But how am I gonna give you a massage if my hands are tied?" "I don't want a massage." "Okay, well, I don't do bondage, so..." "I guess we're in a bit of a standoff here, huh?" "All right." "Get down on the floor." "Hands behind your back." "You don't have to do any of this-- All the way down!" "I'll give you whatever you want." "Shh, shh, shh." "Put your hands behind your back." "All right." "Give me your hands." "Put them up." "[Moaning]" "[dialing]" "Trisha Leffler from Las Vegas." "I know where you live now." "This is an ATM card, right?" "Yeah." "What's your PIN?" "4321." "What's your PIN?" "It's 4321." "[crying] Please don't hurt me." "Ohh, no!" "Shut up." "Shut up." "Don't say a word." "Do you understand?" "[muffled voices and music]" "All right." "There you go." "There you go." "Before I leave," "I'm gonna take a little souvenir, okay?" "Hmm?" "Yeah." "[crying] Shh, shh, shh, shh." "It's okay." "[muffled screams]" "[whimpering]" "[elevator dings]" "Thank you." "Such a gentleman." "[chuckles]" "So after he'd cut off your panties with a knife to keep as a souvenir?" "He took my phone and deleted the messages he left for me." "[Officer] May I see that phone, ma'am?" "How'd he get your number?" "He replied to my Craigslist ad, and I texted him back." "So, then this entirely anonymous person-- who could've been anybody-- you, uh, decided to invite him up to your room?" "I'm usually a better judge." "What were you advertising, Miss Leffler?" "Massages." "So, if we check your record for any priors, we're not gonna turn up any, uh, solicitation, prostitution?" "Look, I'm not the criminal here, okay?" "He is." "And I hope you nail his preppy ass." "I'm telling you, what he did to m- he's done it before, and he liked it." "Liked what?" "I don't know." "Humiliating me." "The one with the Red Sox cap, just like the lady said." "Calm, attractive, non-threatening." "A psycho who likes to rough up defenseless women." "Couldn't ask for a better cover." "[Megan] Philip?" "Baby?" "Hey." "I thought you weren't coming back till tomorrow." "I needed to see you." "Why, what happened?" "What happened, baby?" "I didn't get in." "Ohh, sweetie." "I knew it was a long shot, but I thought... maybe if I wasn't in undergrad." "Listen, they're idiots, okay?" "Yeah, but they accepted you." "You see?" "Which proves my point." "[laughs] It's not funny." "Listen, I'll transfer wherever you go." "No, J don't want you to transfer." "I worked really hard, you know?" "I really did." "I know." "And now I just ruined everything." "No, baby, you did not ruin anything, okay?" "Look at me." "You didn't ruin anything." "B.U. was our plan." "We were supposed to be together." "And we will be." "No matter what happens, we're gonna be fine." "Can we just stay like this for a little bit?" "We can stay like this for as long as you want." "It's just you and me, Pocket." "Nothing else matters." "You really got to go away again?" "Final fitting." "No, no final fitting." "I love you." "Love you, too." "Call me when you get there, okay?" "Okay, I will." "Okay." "Bye." "Bye." "[starts engine]" ""Dear Miss McAllister, we regret to inform you that--"" "Well..." "I guess that decides it." "On to plan B." "Oh, man, you're in." "St. Kitts." "This is fantastic!" "It's such a great program." "Look, baby." "But, Mom, that's-- that's a million miles away." "I can't move a million miles away from my husband." "Well, if he loves you now, he's going to love you in five years after you graduate, right?" "Mom..." "I really don't want to disappoint you." "Oh, honey, you could never" "Baby, you'll never disappoint me." "It's just" "It would be such a waste." "You are so bright and so compassionate." "You would make an amazing doctor." "I've thought about this a lot." "If we can't go to medical school together, then I'll just wait." "I can always reapply later if I want to." "But for now, this is what I want." "[cell phone ringing]" "Hello?" "[Megan] Hey, guess where I am." "I'm so glad I got you." "Listen, I was thinking-- what about a beach wedding?" "We'd have a beautiful sunset ceremony." "I was just sleeping." "Can I call you later?" "You were?" "It's the middle of the afternoon." "I know." "I've been working hard." "Okay, yeah, I'll call you later." "I love you." "Okay." "Bye." "So, what's up?" "What did he say?" "Did he like your idea?" "Yeah, he loved it." "He was just studying." "But he liked it." "It's gonna be amazing." "[chuckles] [cell phone rings]" "Hold on one second, okay, Mom?" "Okay." "I gotta go." "Why?" "What's wrong?" "You okay?" "I'm" " I'm fine." "Then why do you have to go?" "Um, I'm going to see a guy I met on the train." "What guy?" "Is he cute?" "What's he do?" "He's a student." "In?" "I don't know what in." "You got to know something about hi, honey." "Where's he from?" "I promise I will get you the whole 411." "Okay, have fun." "I love you, Julissa." "I love you, too." "[elevator dings]" "Are you Brian?" "Yeah." "You're beautiful." "You're not so bad yourself." "Ready?" "Yeah." "Um... what do you do here in Boston, Brian?" "I'm, uh, a grad student." "What do you study?" "Sciences." "Oh, that is so cool." "I'm actually doing grad work myself right now in New York." "Drug and alcohol counseling, I figure." "Nobody knows the territory like somebody who's been there themselves, right?" "Get down on the ground." "Put your hands behind your back right now." "Uhh!" "Aah!" "Ow!" "Uhh!" "Just get on the gr-- [screaming]" "Julissa Brisman, New York City." "Massage table, no forcible entry." "Sound familiar?" "One difference" " CSI said there was skin under the fingernails." "She fought back, so he shot her." "He's stepping it up." "Yeah." "Mr. Markoff." "What-- [sighs]" "Whoa." "I scared you." "Dr. Shaneway..." "I'm sorry, sir." "I'm a little jumpy, I guess." "I've been staying awake two nights in a row, memorizing genetic sequences." "Trying to impress me." "Always, sir." "How's your fiancée?" "Good, great." "I mean, um... you know, we've both got school." "[clears throat] And then there's the wedding." "So, it's a lot." "I bet." "Well, um, I'd better get going." "But, um..." "have a good evening." "You, too, Phillip, and try to get some rest." "Okay." "Yeah, I will." "Hey." "Hey." "I'm sorry." "You didn't give me a kiss when you got in." "I know, I didn't want to wake you" "Oh, my God." "What happened to your neck?" "A woman went psychotic in the ER tonight." "It was crazy." "She went nuts." "She hurt a nurse, so I had to step in and do something." "My hero." "Come to bed." "We may have just caught a break." "A friend of Julissa's just called, got me into her phone." "We have the text she got from the last guy she had an appointment with." "Digital Forensics can get an I.P. off that." "We can get an address, maybe even a name." "That'll take, what, a couple of days?" "At least." "[woman sobbing]" "How'd he meet her?" "Another ad on Craigslist?" "Looks like that." "I don't get." "In this day and age, girls in a friggin' hotel room, a guy she doesn't even know" " I just-- [crying]" "Mrs. Flores, Detective Bennett." "Sorry for the loss of your daughter." "She was a good girl." "I'm sure she was." "She s just getting her life together." "Who would do this?" "Who would do this to my baby?" "[crying]" "Used to be able to tell who the bad guys were, right?" "Now it's all texts and emails and web sites." "The creeps are hiding in our houses, and... we don't even know who they are." "It is 7:07, and once again, here's Matt." "All right, Meredith, thank you." "And now to a story out of Boston that's going to terrify anyone..." "Wow, this is in Boston." "What's that?" "This guy's right here in Boston." "...on the popular web site Craigslist." "Police say he's already killed one woman... [cell phone rings]" "Hello?" "Hey, Megan." "It's Mom." "Listen, I was watching the news, and I saw this story about this Boston hotel killer." "No, we're not staying in a hotel." "We're here at home, studying." "Me and Philip are safe." "Okay." "I love you." "Bye." "[Man] Of course, the profile is never exact, but a pretty clear picture is emerging of what we're looking for." "We're talking about a guy with an inability to form close emotional relationships with women." "Probably sexual issues." "A loner." "A guy who shies away from the crowd." "Okay, I guess I could tell the story of how" "Maybe later." "Come on." "What's up?" "Let's go." "You didn't even give me a chance." "A man with no sense of status, of accomplishment." "Let me get this straight." "We're looking for a big blond loser, wearing a Red Sox cap in Boston?" "Is that what you're telling me?" "Let's get right on that one." "We should have that settled by morning." "Than for the crack work, Detective." "Maybe somebody will I.D. the photo." "We got a blurry photo with the same damn guy wearing the same friggin' hat." "This is just going great." "[Newscaster] Police are now hoping someone out there recognizes this man from all the surveillance photos in the various hotels." "They are trying to get onto this track this morning, but so far they have no leads." "Police say the warning is out to women now that this man is still on the loose...

"[cell phone beeps]" "All right, that's it for me." "I'm cashing out." "I'm done." "I'm sorry, I gotta go." "I've got another date, ladies." "I'm so sorry." "$5,300."

"[grunting]" "[door opens]" "[Newscaster speaking on television] [breathing heavily]" "The hunt for the man being called the "Craigslist Killer"" "has spread this morning from Boston to Rhode Island." "Police in Warwick, near Providence, are investigating a robbery attempt that may involve the same man who killed two young women in Boston." "Boston police say the murderer apparently targeted" "I thought you said no secrets." "What are you talking about?" "Where have you been?" "What do you mean?" "The super came by." "You haven't paid the rent in three months." "If there's something going on, then I need to know before" "Before what?" "Before you marry me?" "I missed some bills, Meg." "I'm sorry, okay?" "I'm studying 20 hours a day." "I've got millions of tons of crap that I'm dealing with, and professors on top of that." "But you know what?" "You're right, you're right." "I screwed up." "I screwed up, and I'm-- You know what?" "I'm sorry that I'm not the perfect guy you thought I was." "I never asked you to be the perfect guy." "Then what are you asking me?" "What do you want from me, Meg?" "I should've told you first, okay?" "And" " And I didn't." "I just" "I get in my own head about things, and-- [sighs]" "It's been a really hard time for me, you know?" "It's been a hard time for me, too." "I know, I know." "Look, I am-- I'm sorry, babe." "I am so sorry, okay?" "I haven't been there for you, and I'm gonna be there, all right?" "Baby, look at me." "It's my fault, okay?" "But I am trying my best." "I'll go down to the management office tomorrow." "I'll take care of it, right away, first thing." "I promise, okay?" "God, I love you." "I don't want to mess this up, babe." "I don't want to lose you." "I'm not going anywhere." "You promise?" "Yes." "Good." "Just...you need to let me in, okay?" "[laughs]" "I have no idea what I did to deserve you." "The lady got lucky." "Husband was in the lobby, came to check on her." "Hey, blow that up for me, would you?" "Uh, Lieutenant?" "We tracked an I.P. address for that last email to Julissa." "Whoever sent it lives in Quincy." "He who kills by the internet fries by the internet, right?" "He's not frying yet." "It's an apartment complex, so the killer could've been using someone else's wireless signal." "Then I want a full tenant list for that building." "I want six units down there, six invisible units." "And I want 100 copies of this picture blown up." "Let's hope the coffee's good down in Quincy." "[Bennett] No, no, no." "Listen to me, listen to me." "I don't want you hanging out in the mall on a school night." "You understand?" "Okay, all right." "You got a ride?" "Do I know him?" "Okay." "All right." "Great, I love you, baby." "I'll see you back at the house." "This guy is driving me crazy." "I mean, he's turning me into my old man here." "I'm two seconds away from locking my daughter up for good." "Gotta let her go at some point." "Do I?" "There's got to be 800 units in this place." "Great." "All we've got to do now is wait for a guy to waltz by who looks like a vicious loner killer with emotional issues." "You're kidding me, right?" "This guy could be anybody." "You got another picture I can look at?" "Anything?" "If you see anyone, just give me a call." "[elevator dings]" "Good luck with that, Officer." "[laughs] Hey." "Before we go..." "What?"

"I.P. came up with a name." "Son of a bitch." "Philip Markoff, residing in Quincy, Mass." "Are you kidding me?" "I mean, come on, you put a baseball cap on that freak, we've definitely got our guy." "He's a med student at B.U." "478 friends." "Who the hell would want 478 friends?" ""Religious views-- it's complicated."" ""Relationship status-- engaged."" "Quite a catch, this fella, huh?" "We can always bring him in, question him." "No, no, no, no." "We stop by, he's not there, he hears we showed up-- he's off to Brazil." "I don't want to spook him." "We just sit tight, keep him under surveillance, get a positive I.D. from the masseuse, and boom-- nail him." "[Newscaster] And the hunt for the so-called "Craigslist Killer"" "is intensifying, with police hoping to catch him before he strikes again." "NBC's Jeff Rossen has the latest now from Boston." "See?" "This is way better." "Amy, police are literally going hotel to hotel now here in the Boston area..." "Wow, this is him?" "That could be anybody." "They're worried he's planning his next attack." "I'll be right back." "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "Over the weekend, investigators pored through" "If you're still mad, I'd just rather we called the whole thing off." "[Donna Reed] You certainly have an in...

"If I want to reapply to med school," "I can't fail my senior year." "Okay, then we'll just-- let's bring your books." "We can bring your books, and you can study, you know?" "We can check into a hotel, get some room service." "We can order some movies, we can do some other things." "[laughs]" "Yeah?" "We should go to Foxwoods." "Oh." "No, we should go to Foxwoods." "It'll be like a pre-honeymoon." "I don't know if it's a good idea to be gambling right now." "No, no, we're not gambling." "There's a spa." "We can go to the spa and get away from all this noise." "Really?" "Doctor's orders." "Okay." "Yeah?" "[laughs]" "Here we go." "Who are you, pretty lady?" "Next victim?" "No, no, no." "Not his M.O." "What's with the suitcases?" "Skipping town?" "Get a picture." "I don't want to make our move until we get a positive I.D. from Trisha Leffler." "[camera clicking]" "Seems a little jumpy."

"You're the thrill-seeker of the family, remember?" "I'm just the sweet little girl from Jersey." "Fine." "They're making a move." "Heading for the 95." "This could be the positive I.D." "All right, this is it." "Call it." "We're taking him down." "[siren blaring]" "What?" "Why are they pulling us over?" "I wasn't even speeding." "Get out of the car." "Out of the car!" "What is happening?" "Let's go, now, move it." "Hands on the dash!" "Engine off." "Get out of the car." "Take her, take her." "What is going on?" "Get out of the car." "Keep your hands up." "What did I do?" "What did" "Why are you doing this?" "Wait." "What's going on?" "Philip Markoff, you're under arrest for the murder of Julissa Brisman." "[Megan] What?" "On the ground." "That's crazy!" "What" "Philip, tell them that they have the wrong person!" "We're gonna take you back to Boston and ask you some questions." "Up." "You have the right to remain silent." "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." "What is going on?" "You have the right to an attorney." "If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed by the court." "Do you understand these rights as they've been read to you?" "Yes." "Bag." "This guy keeps an awful lot of books under his bed, huh?" "I used to do the same thing in college." "It's cheaper than buying shelves." "This, on the other hand," "I did not have under my bed at school." "Whoa." "We got him." "Bingo." "9 millimeter." "Bag!" "Grab the other side." "We're gonna lift it." "Look at that." "Tell me you never hid your socks under your mattress, huh?" "Trophy." "How many you got there?" "13, 14, 15, 16." "16." "Only three reported." "Obviously the others didn't want their mothers to know what they do for a living, right?" "With all due respect, Detectives, you're embarrassing yourselves." "All right?" "What have you got?" "You got a superficial resemblance to what?" "An out-of-focus surveillance video?" "Well, we got flex cuffs, 16 pairs of women's panties, and a 9 millimeter." "All right, well, you've got some party favors, and you've got some unwashed laundry, and, yeah, I bought a gun to protect my fiancée." "I mean, we live in a sketchy neighborhood, sir." "Is that right?" "We spoke to the owner of the gun shop up in New Hampshire." "He says he, uh, sold the gun to a Brian Stevens." "Whose I.D. happened to be in your top drawer." "You want to explain to us why you purchased a weapon with somebody else's I.D.?" "Sir, I'm a straight-A medical student." "I'm" " I'm getting married in a month." "I mean, would you guys care to explain to me why I would go around and-- and shoot prostitutes in hotel rooms?" "What, you still don't believe me?" "Ask around." "[Megan] You have no idea how wrong you are about Philip." "Do you know where he was between 9:00 and 11:00 pm on April 14?" "He's dedicated his whole life to becoming a doctor and helping people." "So, you don't know where he was between 9:00 and 11:00 on April 14?" "He's a medical student, okay?" "He spends thousands of hours at the library and the lab, and I'm sure there's people there that have seen him." "We'll be sure to check that out." "There's nothing to check out." "This is a huge mistake, okay?" "Philip is not a killer." "Did you know that we found handcuffs, a 9 millimeter pistol, and 16 pairs of women's panties stuffed under your mattress?" "Did you know that?" "I'm marrying Philip on August 14." "You don't think I know my own fiancé?" "You don't think that I would've known if there was a gun under my own" "I don't know what you know, Miss McAllister." "Look, am I under arrest or something?" "No." "In fact, you're free to go." "But you can't go back to your apartment." "And your car's been impounded as evidence." "If I'm free to go, then I'm going." "Are you telling me that one of our top students is the Craigslist Killer?" "No, no, we're just investigating at this point, checking out his story." "So, you're saying he was actually here, you know, studying, being a student?" "I'm saying he was actually here being a star in all of his classes." "Look, Lieutenant, I don't know if you know just how hard it is to be a medical student." "It's not physically possible for someone to do as brilliantly as Philip has done in one of the most competitive programs in the country, and then run off to Rhode Island and commit these crimes." "Not physically possible." "[buzzer sounds]" "[inmates shouting]" "[buzzer sounds] [inmates shouting]" "[David] How did these people get here?" "How did they know?" "[Reporter] How could you not know?" "Dad, what" "Do not talk to them." "I want you to go inside right away." "[reporters chattering]" "[Reporter] Megan!" "Megan!" "[Michael] You guys are on private property." "You must step off of my property." "Now." "[inmates shouting]" "Seven!" "Seven!" "Seven!" "[buzzer sounds] [grunts] [gasps] [coughing]" "[Megan] They won't even let me call him." "I mean, he's in there all alone, and I can't even" "I can't talk to him." "I can't do anything." "I'm so sorry." "When this is all over, I'm going to make sure that he demands an apology, because a doctor cannot have an accusation like this hanging over his head." "This is ridiculous." "Look, we don't even really know what happened." "Of course we do." "They arrested the wrong guy." "That's what happened." "I'm just saying, there's a lot of the story that we still don't know." "Oh, my God." "You guys are just like everybody else." "You really think that he's a killer?" "You think that he's a killer, and I've been living with him this whole time?" "And I didn't know?" "No, no." "That I'm that stupid?" "I mean, Mom, come on." "If someone came to the door and told you that Dad is a killer, would you believe him?" "Oh, my God." "Sweetie, we just feel" "Unfortunately, you are here today because you were given the wrong information, as was the public." "Philip Markoff is a beautiful person inside and out, and couldn't hurt a fly." "A police officer in Boston, or several, is trying to make big bucks by selling a false story to the TV stations." "What else is new?" "Philip is an intelligent man who is just trying to live his life." "So, if you could leave us alone, we would appreciate it." "We expect to marry in August and share a wonderful and meaningful life together." "Thank you." "Our boy sure picked the right girl." "[Man] I've known Phil Markoff since sophomore year." "I can't even put into words the disbelief I'm feeling right now." "He was a great guy." "He wasn't someone who'd ever even own a gun." "[Reporter] As Markoff is without resources, it's the taxpayers of Massachusetts who'll be footing the bill for his defense." "Doing the honors will be well-known public defender Robert Grossman." "A public defender?" "That's insane!" "His parents aren't even paying for a lawyer?" "Dad, do you know somebody?" "We have to help him." "Although Markoff is being kept away from the media, his attorney continues to publicly profess his client's inno" "We got him." "He's got a public defender." "Is that right?" "2005--a guy gets his underage girlfriend pregnant." "Tried to dodge statutory rape." "He and his buddy kill her with a knife and a brick, and toss her in the gutter." "Cops have fingerprints, DNA, confessions from both." "The buddy gets 20 years." "Ken Braniff gets Grossman as a lawyer-- goes free." "He's walking the streets of Boston today." "That's not true." "Is that true?" "Heh." "Robert Grossman can make an alibi out of two sticks and a ball of twine." "Then we need to make a preemptive strike on Markoff's alibis." "Was that the door?" "I don't know." "No reporters on the property." "I'm gonna call the police." "They are the police." "How are you, Megan?" "Good to see you again." "Fine." "Detective Bennett, Boston P.D." "She was lucky." "She got out with only two busted ribs." "He hit her so hard in the face, she's still having trouble seeing." "Look, you guys have the wrong guy, okay?" "Philip isn't capable of killing anybody." "Are you sure?" "Everybody knows that the Boston Police Department is the worst in the country." "This isn't about the Boston P.D." "We're trying to figure out who murdered an innocent young woman." "We have a positive I.D. from a woman he beat up and robbed in Rhode Island." "[sighs]" "I believe in Philip, Lieutenant." "Did you know your boyfriend posted on a sexual fetish web site under the username "SexAddict53885"?" "We took it right off his hard drive." "You--You guys could've put that on there." "Digital forensics can prove that Philip made these postings long before he killed Julissa Brisman with a 9 millimeter." "Her skull fragments were found embedded in the wall in the hotel room." "She died choking on her own blood." "SexAddict53885 was into-- and I quote" ""submission and humiliation"." "All right, I'd like you to stop this now" "Whoa, whoa." "Also on his list... was "friendship and experimentation with transvestites and transsexuals."" "I said that's enough!" "That's not Philip." "He's got a description of himself here." ""Born February 12, 1986." ""6'4", blond, athletic." "Eight inches, cut."" "That's enough!" "You're out of here." "Does that physical description match your absolute knowledge of your fiancé?" "Detective, stop this now." "Get out of here." "Is that your perfect fiancé?" "Don't put that" "Get them out of here!" "You've done enough!" "You stop this now." "Megan!" "You want to bully people?" "Get out of my house." "Leave our home now." "[vomits]" "[buzzer sounds]" "[Bennett] You sure you want to do this to Megan?" "I thought you loved her." "I didn't do it." "You can spare everybody a lot of pain." "You want her to see you like this?" "How ugly you are?" "I didn't do it." "It's going to be a circus, Phil." "There's going to be pictures." "The media, they're going to turn you into a monster." "Phil... talk to me, all right?" "I mean, I don't-- I don't get it." "You had everything-- a beautiful girl who loved you, a bright future." "If you'd played your cards right, years from now, you'd be a rich doctor, having dinner parties on the Vineyard with your wife and kids." "Right?" "You'd be living the dream." "Instead of..." "rotting in here." "Help me out, Phil." "I need it to make sense-- for me." "Why would you do this?" "Why would you hurt those people?" "Why would you throw it all away?" "We've been talking about Philip Markoff and allegations about other killers leading double lives, and frequently the women who love them, or at least who always seem surprised when the cops" "That is not going to make you feel better." "It won't?" "No." "[sighs] I tried going over it in my head, and" "You know, what didn't I see?" "He was-- He was a med student." "He worked late." "He was on his computer late at night." "How is that different from any other guy at B.U.?" "It's not." "So... how was I supposed to make that leap?" "Megs...he fooled everybody, okay?" "He seemed like the perfect guy." "Maybe I just wanted him to be perfect so bad that..." "I only saw what I wanted to see." "[crying] I loved him so much." "It's all right." "He made me feel like no one every made me feel." "Come here." "I'm right here." "Number four." "Did you get my suit back from the tailor?" "He was going to fix the-- the button thing in my cuff." "Philip, stop." "The wedding's only a couple of weeks away now." "Stop it!" "I came here today because..." "I need you to look me in my eyes and tell me the truth." "Can you do that, Philip?" "Please?" "I love you." "I always will." "Please, just tell me." "Please?" "Maybe" "Maybe-- the person who did this, maybe... they didn't feel like they deserved all that they had." "Maybe they didn't feel like they deserved someone as amazing as you." "You're amazing." "I love you." "Maybe... they felt like all they deserved was to be punished." "I saw a picture of the gun." "And the underwear that you put under the mattress." "[crying] Our mattress." "How many girls were there?" "16?" "Did you" "Were you safe?" "Do I need to get tested?" "I mean, getting tested is a smart policy for anybody." "Please don't do that." "It said on your site that-- that you were into bondage and... cross-dressing." "Did you do that stuff?" "Megan, sweetheart, you can't... believe everything you see on the internet, you know?" "This whole time." "You've been lying to me this whole time?" "You've been looking in my eyes and lying to me?" "I mean, what did I do?" "What did I do to deserve this?" "What-- What did I do?" "I'm done here!" "No, no." "Megan, baby." "Baby, baby" "Baby!" "Baby, baby, please come back!" "Please!" "I'm scared!" "I'm scared to death in here." "Please don't." "[crying] Please." "Please don't" "Please." "I'm never going to see you again." "I love you, Pocket."

"I was trying to make it warmer for you!" "Leave me alone!" "You're lucky I don't shit on you." "I'm gonna fart on your face." "Big brother is also concerned with sleeping."

"It would seem things are changing quickly within the interim government." "As of this morning, the NRC junta moved to abolish all political parties, further consolidating their control of the government in the wake of the recent military coup." "Lieutenant General Sangania, commander-in-chief of the armed forces responsible for the junta, stated in a recent press conference that it was his intention to rid the southern regions of the PLF, who he accused of being financed and supported by foreign institutions." "He also condemned the Native Defense Force militias, who he said presented a threat to the very fabric of national security." "Sangania went on to promise that the junta would accomplish what the previous regime had failed to do." "Speculation on the collaboration between the armed forces and the PLF rebels..." "The NRC broke the agreement." "They've entered the buffer zone." "Now they want us to run away and leave our town." "We cannot do that." "Never." "This land is ours." "Our ancestors have lived here, taken care of it, and left it for us." "It's our duty to protect it... and leave it for our children." "So we should send the women and little children away... under the protection of ECOMOD." "Where's Dike?" "And we who call ourselves men will stay and protect our town." "Who is going to take care of the property we are leaving behind?" "Dad, where's Dike?" "They fled!" "Let me go, it's my duty." "We will be crushed between the rebels and the army!" "It is so bad!" "We've already decided what to do with the children." "They will go with you." "He is old." "We can't take him anywhere." "You aren't listening to what I'm saying." "Go to your sister in the city, I'll meet you once everything is okay here." "I can't abandon my responsibilities." "But you are!" "Don't think like that." "You want me to be a refugee in my own country?" "With three small children and no husband?" "We are a family." "We should stay together." "I'm not asking you, I'm telling you." "There are bigger issues to take care of..." "It's your turn." "Dad's sending me away." "He's sending you because you're a little baby." "Play the game." "Turn your light off." "Now turn it on and you'll feel better." "What kind of face is that?" "Your face is like a monkey's butt." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Hurry up!" "Hurry!" "I see one!" "Hurry!" "Citizens of the republic, living in the buffer zone." "Hurry!" "The National Reformation Council recommend non-combatants to leave the buffer zone immediately..." "This one's full." "There's another here." "...as military operations begin as planned." "Wait." "Help me." "Is it heavy?" "Give it to me." "Agu, take it." "Please, move." "Move!" "Move back." "Go back." "No space." "No space." "Please, please, I am the Section Chief." "This is my family." "There must be space." "No space." "This one woman and this small-small children." " And the little boy?" " Yes, him, too." "Where are you thinking this woman and child would be fitted?" "They're gonna be sitting in the front with you." "No, no, no, no, no." "Seventy thousand, no boy." "With the boy." "You wanting your woman to walk through the bush to the capital?" "I'd rather walk." "I can't leave my child." "You can't walk!" "Please, how much to fit the boy?" "Seventy thousand, no boy." " Seventy thousand, no boy." " Driver!" "Driver, driver!" "Please, please, please." "Hey, hey." "With the boy!" "No boy." "No bargaining." "I can't." "Get in!" "I'll walk!" "I won't leave my child!" "There's no other way!" "Get in!" "Give her to her mother!" "Give her to her mother!" "Remember to pray to God everyday." "I'll see you very soon." "Always pray!" "Don't be afraid!" "I will see you soon!" "We'll find you, okay?" "It's full!" "Everyone get back!" "We'll find you!" "Everything will be alright!" "Take this!" "You're with the men now, keep quiet." "Calm down." "Calm down." "Agu!" "Agu!" "Agu!" "Let's go." "Let's go home." "And this is how it is starting." "Go take the clothes out of the rain." "Agu, close the windows." "God, when I'm closing my eyes," "I am seeing the rainy season in my village." "You can be finding the ground is washing away beneath your feet." "Nothing is ever for sure..." "and everything is always changing." "Agu!" "Agu!" "Hey." "Come on!" "Hurry!" "Stay here." "I'll call you when it's clear." "Hey!" "Hey, hey!" "Come on!" "Hey!" "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "We need to go." "If they catch us..." "Keep quiet." "They'll hear us." "If we run away now, they won't see us." "Be patient." "The soldiers are outside." "If you talk, they'll find us." "Keep quiet." "Agu... whatever happens... it's God testing us." "We have to be strong." "We have to go." "Open it." "Don't do it!" "Please." "Turn around!" "Turn around!" "Give me a rope!" "I will kill you today." "Quiet." "Y'all shut your mouth!" " Y'all shut your mouth!" " Shut your fuckin' mouth!" "Which faction do you fight for?" "No faction." " No faction." " We are not fighters." "We are from this town." "We are protecting the stores." "You are Native Defense Forces, hmm?" " You are Native Defense Forces, hmm?" " No." "I am the Section Chief." "We are trying to stop the looters." "Bring the woman." "You are calling us looters." " You are calling us looters." " No." "No." "No, no, no." "You fuckin' shit." "Quiet!" "No, no." "Do you know these men?" " Do you know these men?" " Master, master, master, please." "Please." "This woman, everybody knows she's crazy." "I don't know them." "Master!" "Master, talk to her and you know that she's not right in the head." "They are not from here." "They must be rebels." "We are not rebels." "We, the armed forces of the National Reformation Council, find you all to be spies." " No!" " Please!" "I sentence you to immediate and summary execution." "Waste them." "Run!" "Run!" "Run!" "Please, please, please." "Kill them all!" "You!" "Hey!" "Cease fire!" "Wanna die, fucking PLF?" " Wanna die, fucking PLF?" " Fucking rebel." "Tie this fucking spongebag up." "Hurry!" "Hurry!" "I'm gonna kill you, man!" " I'm gonna kill you, man!" " This is not the right place." "Take position."

"Strika, is it you that is bringing this thing?" "Strika, untie him." "So all of you grown men, it is Strika, the small boy, that is finding this prisoner." "Where is Two-I-C?" "Two-I-C!" " Two-I-C!" " Two-I-C!" "Two-I-C!" "Commandant, sir!" "Two-I-C, what are we to be doing with this thing?" "This thing?" "It is just a boy." "A boy?" "A boy is nothing." "A boy is harmless?" "Harmless, no, sir!"

"Strika, help your brotha." "Good." "That's right." "Watch his blood." "That is what you call justice." "Hmm." "God..." "I have killed a man." "It is the worst sin... but I am knowing too, it is the right thing to be doing." "Tripod!" " Tripod!" " Yes, sir." "This will be the Commandant's car." "Take this fucker out." "He is filthy." "Two-I-C!" "Two-I-C!" "Give this to my charge." "Huh?" "This will be the Commandant's car." " This will be the Commandant's car." " Yes, sir." "If you are losing it, then I am losing you." "Hmm!" "Uh-huh." "This..." " You are driving?" " Okay to move out." "Everyone, get ready to move out." "Get ready to move out, Agu." "You got this stuff from where?" "From dead bodies?" "Everybody is calling you "Strika." Why?" "Are you liking war?" "Hey, I'm asking you a question, and you are not talking." "Are you having family?" "I am thinking about my mom... my brother... and my little sister." "Are you stupid?" "Why are you not talking?" "I am asking a question." "You are not talking." "Go!" "Go!" "Fast!" "Go!" "Go, go!" "I got you, Strika." "Where is he?" " Where is he?" " Keep going, keep going." "Grass cutter!" "Grass cutter!" "Grass cutter!" "Left, left, left." "And you're having any food that you want, from chicken, cow, fruit and vegetable..." "Any kind of fish that you want, we got." "The fisherman is bringing it from the sea." "There's nothing you cannot have there." "And the best thing of this place, this town of abundant resources, is the women." "Hey, the women are too beautiful there!" "Too beautiful." "Ah!" "The next thing you know, your soldier will be standing to attention." "They are having bottoms with specifications so nice that the ground where they're sitting down is also rejoicing." "And they know..." "they know how to be treating a man." "How to make him feel good, kisses and all that, huh?" "Last time I was there, my soldier was hurting." "I couldn't stand up, eh!" "But you will see because you are going there yourselves." "Hmm?" "You will see with your own eyes, gentlemen." "Mmm-hmm." "Commandant, sir!" "Who is this?" " Who is this?" " Refugees from the village, sir." "They said the PLF and the NRC took their village three days ago." "They killed most of the town, but they let these ones go." "Hmm." "Well, let us be giving their village back, huh?" "Yes, sir." "Look at that." "They are cutting people's hands." "Fucking PLF." "Radio!" " Radio!" " Yes, sir." "Two-I-C!" " Two-I-C!" " Roger, you are loud." "Report!" "Uh, we are facing heavy fire, sir." "Over." "Can you take the bridge?" "It's very difficult, sir." "Men are fighting bravely, but I don't know if we can hold too much longer." "Over." "Press on!" " Press on!" " Roger." "We need support, sir." "Some of our men are injured." "The men's spirits are low." "Sir, do you copy?" "Sir?" " Sir?" " Can you take the bridge?" "Copy, sir." "We will reapply pressure and push for the bridge." "Over." "Take the bridge!" "That is your task!" "Mortar." " That is your task!" "Mortar." " Yes, sir!" "Your ammo now!" " Your ammo now!" " Ammunition ready, sir!" "Stand by!" "Agu and Strika." "Yes, sir!" "See this thing, huh?" "This is a very special device." "We can be seeing the enemy even when the enemy is hiding." "Come." "Wait, Strika." "Ah!" "There you go." "See our guys." "Look, we are taking them." "You see?" "Fire!" "See that?" " See that?" " Yeah." "That is magic." "Huh?" "We want to take that bridge." "Now we are going to take that bridge." "Formation!" " Formation!" " Formation!" "That bridge, we are taking it!" "Yes, sir." "Better look me in the eyes, motherfucker." "Who wants to fight?" "Uh-huh." "I'm only taking the brave!" "I'm not taking the scared." "I'm not taking no girls." "Are you ready to fight?" " Are you ready to fight?" " Yes, sir!" "Are you ready to fight?" " Are you ready to fight?" " Yes, sir!" "You want to take that bridge?" " You want to take that bridge?" " Yes, sir!" "We're gonna take that fucking bridge?" " We're gonna take that fucking bridge?" " Yes, sir!" "Fucking PLF!" "Fucking PLF!" "No retreat!" " No retreat!" " No surrender!" "No retreat!" " No retreat!" " No surrender!" "We're moving!" "We're moving!" " No retreat!" " No surrender!" "We're moving!" "No retreat!" " No retreat!" " No surrender!" " Move it!" " Move it!" "Move it!" "Move it!" "Move it!" "Our Father, from dust we were created." "We shall go back to dust." "Eleven of my men." "Gone." "I commit my fellow soldiers into your hands." "May their soul rest in peace." "Amen." "I am now knowing the smell of the dead." "They are sweet like sugarcane and rotten like palm wine." "And when they stay in the sun, they are growing plump like brown mangoes." "Very true, sir." "Strika." "What?" "You have your next mission." "Stand by." "You are loud, Supremo." "Capture the central regions, capital city, Bov." "When you accomplish that," "I will promulgate an order making you Brigadier General." "You'll be a general before we finally seize the capital city." "Yes, sir." "It is a challenge, sir." "But I promise you, it's mission possible." "Over." "Well, then, next time I see you," "I'll be speaking to a general." "And how is your Two-I-C performing?" "Over." "Two-I-C?" "Sorry, sir." "What do you mean "Two-I-C"?" "I've always rated that young man." "Well, Two-I-C is a formidable soldier." "Over." "Teach him the ways of a good commander." "Yes, sir." "Now, take Bov." "Keep that spirit up, and bring us closer to victory." "Of course, Supremo." "Over." "You want to be a general, don't you, Commandant?" "Yes, sir." " Yes, sir." " Earn it." "Over and out." "Over and out." "Agu, you fought well today." " Agu, you fought well today." " Thank you, sir." "A-ha!" "What is this?" "Ah!" "Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow." "Agu, you are wanting to be knowing how to be leading?" "I am happy to be following you, sir." " I am happy to be following you, sir." " That is good, because there is no learning how to be leading." "Some people are born to be leaders, others are born to be followers, and others are just waiting to be dying." "I'm a good follower, sir." " I'm a good follower, sir." " Agu, you are different." "You are reminding me of when I was a small boy." "That is how I know you are going to be a leader." "You see, even the best leader sometimes he must be knowing how to be a follower." "Ah, even me." "I am following the Supreme Commandant, even if I am not agreeing." "Huh?" "Yes, sir." "I'm a good follower." "You are seeing this place?" "The Commandant is saying we must take this." "That it is important." "So, hmm, if it is important to him, it is important to me." "Yes, sir." "Because if we get that, then we can go to Taro." "That is where your mother is, eh?" " That is where your mother is, eh?" " She is in the capital." "Come, Agu." "After we've been greeted by Dada Goodblood, we'll be taking the capital certainly." "Come." "This one has special juju." "Thank you, sir." "You see, I've been wanting to help you more than the others, Agu, but you cannot be telling the others how I'm helping you like this." "It'll have to be our secret." "You are knowing how to keep secret?" " You are knowing how to keep secret?" " Yes, sir." "Well, be saying it." " Well, be saying it." " I can be keeping this secret, sir." "I'm not punishing you, Agu." "Mmm?" "But I do care for you." "Aye." "Agu, kneel down." "Be doing this thing... for me." "They are jumping like rabbits." "Move, move to your left." " Go, go." "Keep going." " Go." "Keep going." " Keep going." " Move, move." "To your left side." "Agu." "Agu?" "I don't want that I call you and you just stand there." "Agu?" "Come here, I'll give you some brown-brown." "It'll cure everything for you, eh." "Hey, I didn't call you to stand there." "Hmm?" "My boy, what is wrong with you?" "What is wrong with you?" "Come here, I'll give you some morale booster." "I think I'll give you that brown-brown, so..." "Morale booster, you know." "Come, come." "Here." "Yeah, that my boy." "Yeah." "Morale booster, eh?" "Make you strong." "More protection." "Nobody is your friend where we are going." "They are the enemy." "They are the farmers that have fed the enemy." " The farmers' wives whose breasts..." " Agu." "Agu." "...have been feeding babies." "Agu." "That is the nature of the land that we are going." "The collaborators and the traitors." "Our people's blood has been flowing for years." "That's why it is time for their blood to flow." "We will spare nobody." "We'll spare nobody, because they are all enemy, all of them!" "Let us pray." "God, let us pray." "He is guiding us with what we are about to be doing." "He is helping us." "Let us fulfill your justice." "Give us the strength!" "God, we will be sacrificing our blood!" "That is why we must spare nobody!" "We will spare nobody!" "Nothing will hurt us." "Because we are invincible." "We are invincible!" "NDF!" "NDF!" " Who are we?" " NDF, sir!" " Who are we?" " NDF, sir!" "Who are we?" " Who are we?" " NDF, sir!" "NDF, spare nobody!" "Kill them all!" "Kill them all!" "Come on, move, NDF!" "Move, move!" "Move!" "How the Commandant look?" " How the Commandant look?" " All right, sir!" "I say, how the Commandant look?" " I say, how the Commandant look?" " All right, sir!" " How the Commandant look?" " All right, sir!" "I say, how the Commandant look?" " I say, how the Commandant look?" " All right, sir!" "NDF!" "NDF!" "NDF!" "NDF!" " Who are we?" " NDF, sir!" " Who are we?" " NDF, sir!" " Who are we?" " NDF, sir!" " Who are we?" " NDF, sir!" "Agu!" "Shoot them!" "Shoot!" "Shoot!" "Shoot!" "Commandant!" "Sir!" "Leave this one under my charge." "I will be training him to be a warrior." " Yes, sir!" " Yes, sir!" " Yes, sir!" " Yes, sir!" " Yes, sir!" " Yes, sir!" " Yes, sir!" " Again!" " Yes, sir!" " Again!" "Yes, sir!" "Yes, sir!" " Yes, sir!" "Yes, sir!" " Again!" " Again!" " Yes, sir!" " Again!" " Yes, sir!" " Again!" " Yes, sir!" " Again!" " Yes, sir!" "Again!" " Again!" " Yes, sir!" "Move, move!" "Move, move, move!" "Move!" "Fuck!" "Fuck you!" "Fucker!" "Fucker!" "Fuck you!" "Fucker!" "Fucker!" "Fuck, fuck, fuck!" "Fuck, fuck, fuck!" "Out, out." "Over here." "Fucking out!" "Fucking out!" "Out!" "Fucking out!" "Out!" "Get up!" "Get up, fuck!" "Get up!" "Up!" "Ma..." "Ma!" "I'm not your mother!" "I'm not your mother!" "I found you!" "What the fuck going on here?" "You know her?" "I was looking for you!" "Where do you know this woman from?" "You know her?" "I was looking for you!" "I wanna rape her." "I wanna rape her!" "You're not my mother!" "Witch woman!" "You're not my mother!" "You fooled me!" "Witch woman!" "God..." "are you watching what we are doing?" "Oh!" "Why?" "Shit!" "What the fuck is that?" "You didn't fucking boy, eh?" "You didn't fucking, boy." "You here for die, motherfucker." "Fuck him up, eh?" "Fuck you up." "Fuck you up." "Commandant, sir." "This is for you, sir." "From the Supreme Commander." "What does it say?" "Now it is your turn to eat." "Load the vehicles." "He is summoning us." "Did he state a reason?" "Isn't it clear?" "Are we going to Taro?" "Are we going to Taro?" "This guy!" "You can't see my ears?" "What is happening to this one?" "A piece of RPG is hitting his temple." "I beg you, please, don't shoot me!" "Please!" "Hey, keep your eyes down!" " Hey, keep your eyes down!" " Oi!" "Oi!" "Oi!" "What do we do with the civilians?" "Leave one of them alive." "Send him up north to the next village and then the next village after that." "Tell them that we are coming." "It's only the beginning." "Get on board, everybody." " Tripod!" " Yes, sir." "Take note and act accordingly." "Strika and Agu are now part of my squad." "Mountain View." "Iron Jacket." "Over." "Get in there now!" "Move!" "We are proceeding to Taro with arms." "Over!" "Get in!" " Get in!" " Okay." "Roger." "Echo, tango, alpha, 1800 hours." "Tripod!" " Tripod!" " Yes, sir!" "Guns up!" "Halt!" "Halt!" " Enemy or friend?" " Friend!" " Who are you?" " NDF!" "Who is your commander?" "I am." "What kind of welcome is this?" "Sorry, sir." "You, get in that car." "Take them to HQ." "Clear the way!" "Clear the fuckin' way!" "Right this way." "Right this way." "Fuck you!" "Victory!" "Victory!" "Victory!" "Commandant, welcome." " Commandant, welcome." " Hello, Deputy." "Follow us." "Weapons are not allowed in here." "So you place them here." "Leave your weapons, boys." "Soldiers." "You wait here." "Here." "Have a seat." "And you will bring us water?" "Certainly." "Goodblood will see you now." "Him." "Have a seat here." "Goodblood says this is a token of appreciation..." "Yo!" "What are you doing?" "I'm sorry." "The Supreme Commander is so very upset to keep you waiting." "Please, will you follow me?" "Please sit." "What is this?" " What is this?" " He'll be with you shortly." "Huh?" "Where is the water?" "Bring them water, quickly!" "Commandant." "Commandant?" "Commandant." "I trust you rested well." "I would like you to know we also offered rations and water to the rest of your battalion this morning." "Thank you, Deputy." "Please, gentlemen." "Please come over." "Stand there." "Attention!" "Commandant." "Supreme Commander, sir." "At ease, gentlemen." "At ease." "It looks like your family has grown." "They must eat while we talk, unless you are hungry, too." "I'm not hungry." "Two-I-C, take them and go and eat." "Two-I-C, you stay." "Come." "Lot of food over here." "Let's eat, man!" "I love food." "What is this?" "You have made me wait." "You are leading me to believe we are changing objectives." "Are we not taking the capital anymore?" "Chief, to protect our people, the time is now." "If we have the momentum and we have the power, why wait?" "You are not the political voice of this movement, Commandant." "I am." "Protecting our people remains the priority." "But as you know, the world is becoming aware of this war now." "No one will escape judgment when it is over." "And the decisions we make have far deeper consequences." "And what decisions have you made..." "for my battalion?" "Are you not making me general?" "No, I am not." "I'm giving your battalion to Two-I-C, Commandant." "That is why I brought you here." "And you, I will promote to Deputy Chief of Security, effective immediately." "I hope you accept and act accordingly." "Thank you, sir." "I promise to fulfill my duty to the fullest..." "Two-I-C, shut your mouth!" "Get out!" "Soldiers." "You are demoting me." "This, my battalion..." "that I have made with my own hands." "I'm their father!" "Your battalion is my battalion, Commandant, as are hundreds of others across this nation." "I want the ceremony of changeover tomorrow, so that Two-I-C can take the battalion back out for battle." "As you know, and with thanks to you, we have the NRC on their heels with the help and support of the UN and ECOMOD." "It has now become a battle for public image." "And what of my payment?" "Hmm?" "What of my payment?" "What share of the resources will I be seeing?" "Do not forget you are a soldier." "Your most important duty is obedience." "Your first duty is obedience." "Your second duty is obedience." "Your third duty is obedience." "Everything is obedience." "Without obedience, you have nothing." "Have you forgotten yourself?" "I have not forgotten myself." "You are right." "I'm a soldier... not a politician." "I will have one more night..." "with my men." "Dada Goodblood." "Move out!" " Move out!" " Move!" "Move out!" " Move out!" " Move out!" "Let's go." "Tripod." " Tripod." " Yes, sir." "Assemble the COs and the troops and bivouac outside of town." "I'm taking Two-I-C and the boys to all celebrate tonight." "Yes, sir." "Where are we going?" "You will see." "You will like it." "And if you and Strika are my bodyguards, and I am going, then you are also going." "Are you hearing me?" "Imagination TV." "Ha!" "So you come!" "Ha!" "Commandant!" "Commandant!" " Ha!" "Commandant!" "Commandant!" " Ah, Mama." "Welcome, welcome." "Yeah, make 'em bring something for my soldiers." " Okay." " And my own soldier." "Hey, hey..." "Bring beer." "Bring soda." "Bring whatever you have." "Hey, hey!" "Get up!" "Hurry, hurry!" "Can't you see we have guests?" "Hurry!" "The beer is warm." "How is the beer warm?" "No ice." " No ice." " No ice?" "No light." "But I am seeing light." "No ice." "Oh!" "Well, doesn't matter because we will drink it whether it's hot or it's cold." "Go on." "Share it." "Commandant, permission to be dismissed." "I need to be checking on the others..." "Negative!" "You will be staying here so we can celebrate you." "In fact, Mama, I want you to bring a special one for my Two-I-C, who will soon be the Commandant." "Who is your Commandant?" " Who is your Commandant?" " You, sir!" "Hmm." "But you have one special for Two-I-C." "No problem." "No problem." "No problem." "Hey, Mama, this one has fresh papaya." "No, no, no, no, Commandant." "Leave this one now." "If it is women you wanting, I get plenty from backyard." "Just bring me my own." "You know my specifications." "I know!" "I know!" "Aunty, bring us some chips." "Ah." "See this little yeah-yeah boy born yesterday." "Don't mind him." "Don't mind him." "Where are the girls?" " Where are the girls?" " They are coming." "We've got enough girls for the men, but no more for the little boys." "Leave your weapons with Strika." "Oh-ho!" "You're the controller." "How are you?" "How are you?" "Look at you." "Look at you." "Commandant." "Commandant." "You are looking very hot." " You are looking very hot." " Yeah, I miss you." "Oh, you miss me." "Really?" " Oh, you miss me." "Really?" " Mmm-hmm." "Strika." "SBU, be watching guard." "Don't be watching your Commandant because you can't have what I'm having." "We'll start shooting." "Go stand by the waterfall." "What happened?" "Huh?" "What happened?" "You did this." "What happened to my man?" "What happened here?" "I was just playing with his gun and it just went off." "I don't know what happened." "I'm sorry." " I don't know what happened." "I'm sorry." " You did this." " You did this." " Relax, relax, relax, relax!" "You did this!" "You did this!" "I didn't mean to." " You thought you were shooting me!" " No, no, no!" "You thought it was me?" " You thought it was me?" " I didn't mean to." "I'm so sorry." "Were you trying to kill me and you kill my soldier?" "It was an accident!" "No!" "Not me..." "Go!" " Let's go." "Let's go!" "Hey!" " Move!" "Pick him up!" "Pick him up!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Pick him up!" "I want you to take all their women!" " Move!" "Move!" "Move!" "Move!" " All of them!" "Move!" " Move!" " Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Move!" "All call signs, all call signs, anyone have eyes on Iron Jacket?" "All call signs report visual of Iron Jacket." "Over." "Mountain View, Z Fire." "Did not copy." "Over." "All call signs, report visual on Iron Jacket." "Any knowledge on the location or movement of Iron Jacket?" "Over." "Mountain View." "Green Snake." "No visual." "I repeat, no visual of Iron Jacket." "Over." "Mountain View." "Two-two." "Copy same." "No visual on Iron Jacket." "Nothing to report." "Over." "Mountain View." "Black Sand." "Report, Iron Jacket moved out from our checkpoint yesterday." "Over." "Black Sand." "Mountain View." "Iron Jacket moved through your sector?" "Over." "Mountain View, Black Sand, Roger." "Iron Jacket battalion moved out with orders for battle." "Over." "This..." "This was all for nothing." "Iron Jacket, this is Mountain View." "Agu, is that you?" " Iron Jacket, where are you?" " Yes, sir." " Do you read me?" "Over." " Come." " Come and sit with me." " Iron Jacket, do you copy?" "Over." "Iron Jacket, you are disobeying a direct..." "Agu, these are very dangerous times." "Never know who you could be trusting." "Huh?" "That is why it is good to always sleep one eye open." "That is why I have you and I have Strika." "Agu, sometimes I'm feeling sorry for you." "Sometimes I am." "Two-I-C is dead." "God, bless the man who died" "On the great battlefront" "For the sake of the NDF" "God, bless the man who died" "Our Father, today we lost our fellow soldier." "Guide him forever and ever." "Amen." "Amen." "Two-I-C." "Yes, sir!" "Yes, sir!" "This was not God's work." "This was man." "Supreme Commandant was our friend." "Now he's our enemy." "But we are not fearing change, for we are strong!" "Strong and proud!" "That is why we should be taking our own territory... and filling our own pockets." "Gentlemen, move out." "Let's move." "We are leaving Two-I-C to be eaten by gogomi and worms." "We are leaving him." "And I am thinking," ""The only way not to be fighting anymore is to be dying."" "Medic!" "Where's the fucking medic?" "He's fucking dead, my man!" "People are dying just like this every day." "Every person I am knowing is dying." "And I am thinking," ""If this war is ever ending, I cannot be going back to doing child things."" "Bullet is just eating everything." "Leaves, trees, ground, person." "Eating them." "Just making person to bleed everywhere." "We are just like wild animals now with no place to be going." "Sun, why are you shining on this world?" "I am wanting to catch you in my hands, to squeeze you until you cannot shine no more." "That way, everything is always dark and nobody's ever having to see all the terrible things that are happening here." "Preacher!" "Sir." "Thank you, sir." "Strika." "Strika!" "Strika!" "Strika!" "Stand up and let's go!" "We are going." "Let's go!" "Strika!" "Stand up and let's go!" "What is wrong with you?" "What is wrong?" "I am wanting to say to Strika, "I am tired, too."" "I am tired, and so the words are not coming out of my mouth." "Strika?" "Do you hear that?" "A song, just like my mother sang." "Strika?" "Strika?" "Strika." "Strika!" "Strika!" "Strika!" "Strika!" "Someone help us." "Strika!" "Strika!" "Strika!" "Strika!" "Fuck you." "Life is sad." "Agu." "Agu." "Agu!" "Sir?" "Go get me some fucking bullets to be shooting right now." "Move!" "Move!" "Do you have bullet?" "Mother." "I can only be talking to you now because God is not listening." "Your song is making my body to move, and I am not having to think anymore." "Not about Strika, not about this war, not about any of the things that are jumping into my head." "I am wanting to lie down on the warm ground with my eyes closed and the smell of mud in my nose." "Commandant, sir." "We are out from bullet." "It wasn't supposed to be the way that it has turned out to be." "Everybody betrays you eventually." "But you, I will always protect you, Agu, because you are my son... and a son always protects a father." "Commandant, I want to talk to you, sir." "What is all this?" "We are leaving, sir." "Who is leaving?" "Who and who is leaving?" "Two-I-C, go back to your post." "No, sir." "We are going, sir." "You are the only one standing in front of me, stupid." "I am going, sir." "No bullets." "What am I going to use to shoot my enemy?" "We have been here for months now." "Gold miners, no gold." "No money, no food, no water." "It madness, Commandant." "People sick here and dying every day." "It madness, Commander." "Who want to stay here and die?" "I want to go!" " I want to go!" " I want to going!" "Who want to stay here and die?" "I want to go, sir!" "Me, too." "I want to go, sir!" "Who want to stay here and die?" "Nobody want to stay here, sir!" " Nobody want to stay here, sir!" " We want to go, sir." "Then come and tell him how you feel." "Come and tell him how much we are suffering here." "Come!" "Everybody, come." "So, you..." "you are the big man now, huh?" "Hmm?" "Where will you be going?" "Huh?" "Will you surrender to the other NDF camp?" "No." "They will eat you." "And what of ECOMOD?" "Huh?" "That might be better, but what next?" "Jail?" "War crimes?" "Huh?" "You think you can just go and do what you want in peace?" "You will go back to your village and your family will not associate themselves with you." "Huh?" "You will be nothing." "You and your uneducated, poor mind, you'll be nothing." "Nobody will care for you." "Huh?" "Look at you." "And you will wake up and you will rise and see the sunrise and see the sunset, and you can just wait all day, all day, with thousands of men just like you, waiting for somebody to give you a job." "Huh?" "That is what you want to go and do?" "You are stupid!" "You have nothing!" "No future!" "I am your future." "You fucking die here, sir." "What?" "How are you going to shoot me if you don't have bullets?" "And you, Agu?" "You wanna kill Commandant?" "Hey, Agu, I want you to kill Commandant." "Come." "Push it." " Push it." " Do it." "Come, Agu, come." "Put it here." "Here!" "A-ha!" "A-ha!" "Wanna kill Commandant?" "Do it, Agu." "Do it." "Kill Commandant!" "You wanna surrender?" "Huh?" "You wanna surrender?" "You wanna surrender?" "Yes." "Hey, Agu." "Just get out." "Just remember, when you are all poor and hungry you'll remember me!" "You'll remember your Commandant." "Just go!" "Just go!" "Come on." "Everybody, let's move!" " Yes, sir!" " Come on, let's go." "And know that I will be calling for you one day." "Go and drink gunpowder tea and playing draughts." "No, no, no." "You remember me." "You remember your Commandant." "You're gonna say, "Yeah!"" "Remember, I will call for you again... and you'll come." "Remember." "They will just lock you up in jail!" "You are stupid!" "When the time come back, the other ones, they'll come eat you." "Just chop for you..." "your heart." "Agu, you stay here because they don't..." "Halt!" "Stop there!" "Who are you?" " Who are you?" " NDF, sir!" "And what is your mission here?" "Surrender, sir!" "Raise up your arms!" "All weapons in the air!" "All of you!" "Now turn and face the bush!" "Don't look at my face!" "Put your weapons on the ground!" "Step back." "Step back!" "And turn around!" "I said, turn around!" "All right, hands up!" "Hands up!" "Sit on the floor!" "Sit down!" "Put your hands on your head!" "Don't look at my face!" "Agu, how are you settling in?" "Hmm?" "I know things are hard." "I've been there, remember?" "We are all here to help you." "Okay?" "I am not knowing how long I am staying here... but I'm staying here for a long time." "Some week, some month, I am not knowing." "All I am knowing is how it is feeling here." "I am knowing the sound of people screaming and the smell of dead bodies... and I am knowing the feeling of the brown-brown and djamba in my blood." "Hey, calm down!" "This is your home!" "No, they are giving us poison there!" " They want us to die!" " Yes!" " They want us to die!" " Calm!" "Preacher is tiring of this place." "He's saying, "The war is not over," ""and they are needing fighters like us."" "We need money for here." "We need money." "Eh?" "You can't stay here without money." "And we're soldiers, fighting is what we know." "That's what we should do." "Have you forgotten?" "We have food to eat." " We have shelter." " Shh!" "And even we learn, we learn." " And even we learn, we learn." " Yeah." "You for shut up!" "You NRC soldier, with the talk, you talk too much." "Agu, I can't stay here." "I'm leaving." "Preacher!" " Preacher!" " Let's go!" "Randy, don't go into the bush again." "Don't follow Preacher." "Randy!" "I don't like when you look into my eyes." "So if I look at a table, how can I talk to you?" "Amy." "She thinks that my no speaking is because I can't be explaining myself like baby, but I am not like baby." "I am like old man and she's like small girl because I am fighting in war and she's not even knowing what war is." "Try." "Try to talk to me about some of your experiences... or try to tell me what you are thinking." "I'm thinking about my future." "Very good." "Very good." "So how do you see your future?" "Do me this favor, okay?" "I think if you talk to me about it, it will make you feel better." "I saw terrible things... and I did terrible things." "So if I'm talking to you, it will make me sad..." "and it will make you, too, sad." "In this life..." "I just want to be happy in this life." "If I'm telling this to you... you will think that..." "I am some sort of beast... or devil." "I am all of these things... but I also having mother... father... brother and sister once." "They loved me."

"We cannot turn back until we've accomplished that." "An attack by the Iga was not unexpected." "We will never reach Sunpu if we shy away so easily." "I apologize for my needless worries." "We leave the minute Saemon returns." "Let us prepare." "Gennosuke-sama..." "I only hope my worries truly are needless... hellish journey..." "Nenki-dono!" "What did you just say?" "!" "I said I have wonderful news!" "I've slain Gennosuke and the others with my own hands!" "Kouga Gennosuke?" "He was unable to use his Dojutsu..." "And Muroga Hyoma?" "It goes without saying that cutting that blind shinobi was easier than cutting a daikon radish!" "I also took care of the Kagero girl who scurried off while covered in your butterflies." "That only leaves..." "Then what about Kisaragi Saemon?" "!" "but he managed to get away..." "Nenki-dono!" "Don't be like that." "Kisaragi Saemon... yes." "Kagero confessed to me at death's door..." "Apparently it was Kisaragi Saemon who killed Yashamaru." "make such a blunder?" "!" "Kisaragi Saemon..." "So he really was the one who killed Yashamaru..." "He was the one... should have slain Saemon!" "No." "This may be" "This may be divine providence." "So that I can slay Kisaragi Saemon..." "Hotarubi?" "you know." "no matter whom Saemon turns into!" "I will not be deceived!" "To think you would see..." "Hotarubi!" "Kisaragi..." "Saemon..." "Ya..." "Yashamaru-dono..." "Ya..." "Yashamaru-dono..." "Yashamaru-dono..." "Kuwana Port" "Why do we have to go through the trouble of taking a boat?" "!" "of all things..." "Crossing a seven-league sea is deplorable!" "Jingoro-dono." "Do you hate the ocean that badly?" "Of course I do!" "Who knows what'll happen if I fall in the salty ocean?" "!" "Just thinking about it makes me shake uncontrollably!" "Jingoro." "It's not as if we're swimming across." "I know that!" "But I can't help that I'm afraid of it!" "I don't sense that the Kouga group has used a boat in this area." "then we should get there first by boat." "But Tenzen-sama..." "Nenki-dono and Hotarubi have yet to return..." "Should we really be taking this ship?" "We have no time to wait for people we've lost contact with." "The fact they have yet to show themselves indicates just that." "Ship's leaving now!" "but nor will I avoid any attack from you." "Should the trip become a war to the death then so be it." "The seven Iga..." "Gennosuke-sama counted me as one of his seven remaining enemies..." "He must think that I knowingly led him into a trap..." "I want nothing more than for him to know that wasn't the case..." "And then..." "Princess." "Koshiro..." "You were right by my side!" "Oboro-sama!" "here you are!" "It's dangerous here."

"Could you take Jingoro with you to the stern hold?" "The stern hold?" "I'd like to speak with Oboro-sama alone." "Have Koshiro keep guard so that no one nears the central hold." "now." "not make any disturbing advances." "but what exactly are you going to tell Oboro-sama?" "We may encounter the Kouga group when we arrive at Miya Port." "Oboro-sama's heart does not appear to be in this which makes me feel most uneasy..." "I must determine where her devotion lies and then have her mend her ways at all costs." "I'm counting on you." "Tenzen-sama." "What is it?" "If..." "If Oboro-sama doesn't heed what you have to say what will you do?" "Worry not." "Oboro-sama will heed me." "I'm certain of it." "That was some great flute-playing!" "That's for sure!" "Let's treat him to a drink later!" "Oh!" "Good idea!" "Akeginu?" "!" "Who's there?" "Tenzen?" "Tenzen..." "Where are Akeginu and the others?"

"September 17, 2014." "The day we arrived." "We fled a dying planet." "Our ship crash-landed here." "For my kind, it was meant to be a day of liberation." "Refuge." "But for everyone on Earth... it was an invasion." "Shh." "The humans left us no choice but to defend ourselves." "Incoming!" "Vuní!" "I did as my father said." "I ran as fast as my legs would carry me, not understanding what I was running from." "And less sure what I was running to." "National Guardsmen continue to engage in a bloody conflict with the alien species, whose ship crashed to Earth several miles from Baton Rouge." "The President has issued a state of emergency." "While officials report that some of the invaders have been rounded up, it's possible some may have eluded capture." "What do you think would be the alien plan?" "We should go to my mother's." "The roads are closed." "And plus, things aren't gonna be any better over there." "Just try and relax." "What's wrong, Daddy?" "Nothing, baby." "Everything's fine." "Don't forget to take your medicine, Emery." "Okay, Daddy." "Just getting word;" "NASA astronomers have speculated that the trajectory of the spacecraft originated from a distant solar system called Atria." "Regardless of where they came from, local residents and world leaders..." "Hello?" "Hello?" "It's okay." "It's okay." "You're one of them, aren't you?" "I'll be right back." "If, on the other hand, their goal was actual occupation and conquest, then they would probably have to prioritize anything..." "It's okay." "You don't look like a monster." "You can stay here tonight." "I'll come see you in the morning." "Be very quiet." "It's good, isn't it?" "Here." "Use the fork." "This one's called star." "Through here." "Through the loop." "Let go, it's a star." "Here, you try." "Bravo unit one-seven..." "We've got to hide you." "Got to go." "He's in here!" "Go, go, go, go, go!" "Get away from her!" "Don't hurt him!" " Now!" " No!" "It's been ten years since the alien species known as the Atrians arrived on Earth, and the U.S. military rounded them up and put them in a government facility where they remained in lockdown." "Today, in a controversial effort to integrate them into society, seven Atrian teens will become students at Marshall High School." "Hey, Jules." "Hey, Emery." "Only you could pull off sweaty sexy at 7:00 a.m." "Outside Marshall High, angry protesters demand that the Atrians remain sequestered inside their sector." "Time to stretch." "Come on." "My former hospital buddy's now my personal trainer." "You said you always wanted one." "Yeah." "Named Fernando." "Or Tristan." "With an accent and abs." "These anti-integration advocates believe the Atrians may be hiding a greater plan to colonize Earth." "If you ask me, this whole integration program is just a distraction from the real issue." "Is this on every channel?" "Yep." "That ship is casting a shadow over this whole town..." "All the loonies are out today." "You got to love conspiracy theorists." "One of them was claiming that the Atrians grow a medicinal herb inside their Sector called cyper." "Can it cure conspiracy theorists?" "I'm just saying." "Maybe you could get chummy with one of the Atrians." "Get a batch." "Fix up this whole hospital." "What did I say?" "Keep these guys back." "Oh, my God, it's your dad." "As you can see, Commander Ray Whitehill of the Sector Enforcement Unit scans the wristbands of the Atrian Seven, allowing authorities to track their location while at school." "He's so lucky." "He's, like, one of the few people who can actually say that they've been inside the Sector." "Of course only you would consider that lucky." "So, you nervous about today?" "Yeah." "Sure." "I mean, the guy on the news last night was saying how the eyes of the world would be on Marshall High." "Leave it to you to start your first day back at school after four years in front of the eyes of the world." "governments are putting pressure on our government." "The media hasn't covered it thoroughly enough..." "I'm really glad you got better, Em." "Thanks." "Now it's your turn." "The Atrian Seven are now headed to Marshall High, where protests continue to grow." "I speak for all my colleagues in D.C. when I say that after three years of ongoing discussion, we're very proud to see this program finally come to fruition." "A program which, if successful, could lead to the integration of all Atrians into society." "The hope is that we're not just able to peacefully coexist, but we also learn from one another." "Their culture alone..." "Those Tatties belong with their own kind!" "Our kids were raised right." "Get off of me." "Get off of me!" "Tatties, go home!" "Come on, let's go around back." "In the tech lab are code monkeys." "It's kind of like this weird world dominated by chimps and orangutans or whatever... has no idea how to communicate with humans." "And if you look discreetly to your two o'clock:" "Asian fashionistas." "They never wear the same thing twice." "And further up the stairs, to your two o'clock: on the second landing, are the Lenin worshipers." "The Communist Lenin, not the Beatle." "What's your first class?" "English lit?" "I hope you didn't get Mr. Turk." "I mean, he'll make you read Atlas Shrugged." "And let's just say that it is a total, utter downer." "It's a downer, Em, and I'm so sure that you're not even listening to me." "Em!" "Yes, I'm listening." "You said it's a total and utter downer." "Hey." "They're here." "Get out of here!" "Go home!" "Go home!" "Go home!" "Everybody off." "Everybody off." "All right, follow me." "Let's go." "Move it." "Line it up, single file, shoulder width." "I want a line right here." "Line it up." "Form a line." "Right here along." "You." "Right here." "I mean, could this day possibly get any more insane?" "I think it just did." "All clear." "Let's go." "Move it." "My name is Gloria." "You don't know me, but I am well-acquainted with each of you." "Yen ikedúr almatév ayá?" "Yes, Teri, I have been laid recently." "And English is the language of choice here at Marshall High." "I know you've been briefed on protocol and passed your MHS entrance exams, but I think it's necessary to set some ground rules for your own safety." "I'm sure you've noticed increased security." "We don't anticipate any violence, but the guards are here for your protection." "And the Atrians." "The guards have been authorized to use their temblor guns if you step out of line." "You are only permitted to leave the Sector for school." "Curfew still stands." "Back in your pods by 10:00 p.m. every night." "Behind the walls of this school, they're just like you." "They're students." "You're test subjects." "At least for the time being." "But one day, you could be graduating." "Heading off to college or out in the work force." "Imagine the possibilities if this program is a success." "But it won't be easy." "A lot of people are hoping you fail." "They think your race has come here to destroy us." "It's up to you to prove them wrong." "Wish we were the kind of aliens who carried ray guns." "Remember our first day at the Sector School?" "You guys hated it there, too." "At least we didn't have to worry about temblor guns pointed at our heads." "Or worse." "Glee club." "They tagged our lockers." "Right." "You got to use your right hand." "Yes." "I swear I'm not usually this technologically inept." "It's okay." "You get a pass on your first day." "Where you transferring from?" "Oh, nowhere." "I've just been out." "For the last four years." "I transferred last year from Newhall." "And I'm not on the welcoming committee or anything, but I know my way around, so if you need anything..." "Thanks." "For the finger tip." "I mean, for the tip for the locker." "See you." "Bye." "I never thought I'd say this, but I'm already starting to miss our Sector School." "Humans are savages, Roman, every single one of them." "Right?" "Yeah." "Right." "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United of America, and to the republic, for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." "All right." "I'll be passing out your syllabus for the semester." "Take one and pass it back." "Hey." "Rumor is they have three penises." "Small, medium and extra large." "Yep." "Taylor." "Sweet girl, braces." "Remember in middle school?" "Yeah, now she's in charge." "In charge of what?" "All of it." "Hey, have you heard of an herb the Atrians supposedly grow in the Sector?" "Something called "cyper"?" "It's, like, some miracle herb." "Cyper?" "No." "But if it's herbs you seek, some of the stoners probably have some in their lockers." "You eat our food, wear our clothes, breathe our air, but you can't be bothered to pledge our flag?" "We're not citizens." "Oh, that's right." "You're Martians." "Well, technically, Martians are from Mars." "We're from a far superior planet." "What did you say to me, freak?" "Hey, that's enough!" "Atrians are not required to pledge to the flag." "Cheer up." "You get to keep liberty and justice all to yourself." "Open up the fall semester calendar." "We have some events coming up." "Nox, you've been the Atrians' most vocal advocate for equal rights." "Did you think this day would ever come?" "I never lost that hope." "This program is the first step toward unifying our races." "And I couldn't be prouder that my own children are part of history in the making." "Thank you, gentlemen." "Thank you." "It's the Atrian Seven!" "Let's go!" "Hey." "How did it go?" "Excellent." "We've been far too insulated in the Sector from just how kind and compassionate these people can be." "Your brother has mastered the earthly art of sarcasm with relative ease." "Tell me about it." "If I have any chance of making friends," "I'm gonna have to distance myself from him." "Why do you want to be friends with them?" "Humans are so much more colorful." "I'm sorry." "What about today was colorful?" "Was it the armed guards or the protestors?" "Or...?" "Oh, wait." "I know." "The human kids that hate us." "They just don't know us yet." " Isí ipní kidón, ijén..." " Maia." "English." "You're there to learn, not to make friends." "Well, tomorrow's a new day." ""Your daughter will tell you exactly why she's not devouring that shrimp lo mein."" "It's nothing." "I just... was thinking a lot about that boy in the shed today." "What about him?" "About how, if he hadn't tried to protect me, he'd still be alive." "Not everyone can be saved, baby." "Sometimes... there's a greater plan at work." "Enjoy your meal." "Good afternoon, Atrian." "Your lunch option is puffed rice cake." "Would you like chicken-flavored, beef or carrot?" "Enjoy your meal." "Hey." "It's Emery, right?" " You live over on Woodglen?" " Yeah." "Let me see your phone." "There's a party at this abandoned farmhouse." "You should come." "Can I bring Lukas?" "Sure, yeah, if you guys are, like, a package deal." " We're friends." " Oh, good." "Because Grayson wasn't sure." "Grayson... was... asking?" "I am relieving you of duties." "Yes, yes, and you are just in time." "So, what did that fembot want?" "How did you manage this, Em?" "She invited me." "Or us." "I think she's got a crush on you, Luke." "That's cute, Em." "That was real cute." "Was that your material?" "Great." "Okay." "This is your club?" "Yeah." "You go to local hospitals, spend time with patients, painting, scrapbooking, that sort of thing." "I found it really comforting." "You were in the club last year?" "No." "I was a patient." "I spent the last four years in the hospital because of an immune deficiency." "Hmm." "So, what did you prefer?" "The painting or the scrapbooking?" "Uh... the scrapbooking." "Oh." "So anyone can join?" "Uh... it's a lot of after-school hours, and with your curfew and not being permitted outside the Sector..." " I mean, your Sector without permission, I..." " No, I understand." "I understand." "My memories are stored on a separate computer anyway, so I probably wouldn't be good at scrapbooking." "Joking." "Thanks anyway." "You like talking to our girls there, Tattie?" "You think they're pretty?" "I was interested in joining her club, but she wouldn't have me." "Oh, well." "No, don't feel bad." "It's just as well." "I don't have an artistic bone in my body." "Do you have any bones in your body?" "Good point." "Our, uh, skeletal system is made up of 10,000 centipedes holding hands, but that's Atrian secret number 145." "How do you know that?" " Everything okay, Roman?" " Yeah." "We're just getting to know each other." "I don't care that your dad is some big Atrian honcho." "You play by our rules here." "Got it, freak?" " Come on..." " Teri." "Got it." "So, wait, they were pissed because you talked to an Atrian?" "I mean, I guess it sort of is everyone's worst nightmare." "What is?" "The notion of the human-Atrian hookup." "A "hookup." Okay, we were talking about painting and scrapbooking." "That's how it begins." "I think we need to find you a new hobby, like glassblowing, maybe belly dancing." "Something like..." "What are these?" "Discharge forms." "You're going home?" "For good?" "Yeah." "Tuesday." "A... ad you didn't tell me?" "Em... the chemo isn't working." "And finding a bone marrow match could take years." "So, then why are you going home?" "I'm anemic." "I'm getting pneumonia every other week." "My platelet count keeps dropping." "Jules, you're not giving up." "It's not about giving up." "I don't even care about the poking and the prodding and the puking." "What I can't take anymore is seeing my parents get their hopes up... only to have them dashed one lousy CBC test after another." "They'll let you out for an hour, right?" "Why?" "Where are we going?" "And you're sure you know what this cyper herb looks like?" " Yes." " Good." "'Cause my dad will kill me for stealing his access badge." "Yen hembikil." "Yen hembikil!" "Ah." "Bracelets?" " Okay." "I'll take three." " Oh, no, thank you." "Julia, no." "No, thank you." "What do we have here?" "You kids know you're not supposed to be here." "Do you have any cyper?" "Cyper." "Right here." "Come on." "Ipén asoryunú halá." "Lockdown!" "Yaprasivíl!" "This Sector is now under lockdown!" "Come on, come on, come on!" "Let's go." "Okay." "Lockdown!" "We'll be safe up here." " Jules, you okay?" " Are you kidding?" "That was amazing." "What are you guys doing here?" "Uh... we came for your cyper." "Well, why didn't you just say so?" "I guess its curative powers are no longer just our secret." "Come on." "We smuggled some seeds into the Sector from our ship." " What is this place?" " My dad and I built it." "It's kind of like our own private sanctuary." "Here it is." "Wow." "Wow, there's so much of it!" "Take as much as you'd like." "Is this really cyper?" "Yep." "It's really cyper." "Or, as you call it, saffron." " Saffron?" " Well, it's our own version of it." "We use it for cooking." "But some enterprising guards have made a good amount of cash selling our spice's magic remedy to... gullible humans outside the Sector." "It was worth a shot." "Do you... have a sick friend?" "Um, I don't." "She does." "Um, I'm sorry." "Hey, this wasn't a total loss." "At least I got to see this place." "I'm... obsessed with all things Atrian." "You're shivering." "Here." "Thanks." "So chivalrous." "Wow." "City looks beautiful from up here." "How did you get that scar?" "It... it happened a long time ago." "On Arrival Day." "That was you i... in the shed, wasn't it?" "You knew this whole time." "How?" "The moment I saw you at school," "I had this... bizarre craving for cold spaghetti." "But I was sure you were dead." "I saw them carry you away." "I came close." "One of my hearts actually stopped beating for a few minutes." "Luckily, I have a backup." "I never got to thank you... for saving my life." "I..." "I was six." "I hardly did anything." "You were kind... when everyone else was cruel." "That's something." "Curfew warning..." "Curfew starts in ten minutes; you guys should go." "Curfew warning: ten..." "I can't believe that was him, the boy from the shed." "But, clearly, he's no longer just a boy." "Julia..." "I'm sorry." "Come on, you got to have a boyfriend back in the Sector, right?" "No." "There's nobody." "Who knew an Atrian could be so sexy?" "You're the talk of the school." "Oh, but don't tell your friend Teri, though, 'cause we think she might bite." "I should get to class." "Where you going?" "Where you going?" "Hey, tell me something, is it true what they say" " about Tatties?" "Oh..." " Don't!" "Well, you're kind of a feisty one, aren't you?" " Stop it!" " Hey!" "Hey!" "Leave her alone." "You just can't seem to get out of my way, can you?" "That's my sister." "Okay." "Roman!" "Roman!" " Help!" " Get off him!" "Hey, get off him!" "Somebody help him!" "Hey!" "Hey, break it up." "Break it up." "Get out of here!" "Go back to your own damn planet!" "Hey, get him the hell out of here!" "Write him up." "Let's go." "I've been watching you for a long time, Roman." "I worked closely with your father to help build this program." "Unless you want to see it fail, you have to stop acting like an animal." "He assaulted my sister, and I'm the animal?" "This happens again, they'll hand you over to military doctors to have your testicles put in a jar and studied." "You don't want that." "I don't want that." "And my testicles definitely don't want that." "I always protect my investments." "That is, until they lose their viability." "Roman." "Hey." "You're coming tonight, right?" "Yes, Grayson, you're gonna see her tonight." "God." "Attempt to be cool." "Even social newbies like Emery still like a little cool with their drool." "Uh..." "Quadrant C cleared for inspection." "Stay out of it, Teri." "Even if you can get out to crash their lame party, you'll never get back in time to make curfew." "Maybe, maybe not." "But we need to send a message, all right?" "What happened to Roman today can never happen again." "High heels now?" "It's the beginning of the end." "No, it's a party." "You'll be careful?" "Always." "Have fun." "You deserve it." "I'm out of here." "Off to the Sector." "Bye, Dad!" "Do you ever miss it?" "What?" "Atria?" "Of course." "Every day." "But... this is our home now." "Armed guards, mandatory curfew and barbed wire." "It's not exactly my idea of home." "It won't be like that forever." "Dad, they're... they're never gonna treat us like equals." "You know, your generation can bridge the gap." "A gap they created." "I..." "I'm not saying it's gonna happen tomorrow." "These things take time." "But I have faith in them." "Just like I have faith in you." "You're not like the rest." "I just don't see it." "We'll finish this planting tomorrow." "What do you want, Teri?" "I saw you last night with that girl Emery." "I was keeping her out of trouble." "I don't know why you even bother making connections with them." "Soon, they're gonna be the ones behind these walls." "What are you talking about?" "Just something my mother and the rest of the Trags talk about in their Monday meeting." "No offense, Teri, but your mother's an idiot." "Oh, and by the way," "Drake and them went after that kid Eric." "Lockdown, 2200 hours." "Lockdown, 2200 hours." "I'm looking for the path to Hades." "Aren't you Nox's son?" "You must be confused." "Can you help?" "As I told your friends, you've got three hours before the signal reactivates." "Zone B. Corridor 8." "Look for the broken light." "Directly beneath, there's a false panel." "Okay." "I had to strong-arm a freshman to get the last of the blue punch." "Thanks." "Cheers." "Cheers." "You all right?" "Yeah." "Sure." "You just seem a little distracted." "This is all just... pretty new to me." "Just try to relax." "You're not being judged." "Most people here are too self-obsessed to care about anyone else." "Hey!" "You guys got to see this!" "Look what someone did to Brock!" "Who did this?" "Huh?" "!" "Who did this?" "!" "We just want to have a little talk." "All right." "This ends tonight." "For once, we agree." "Hey!" "We're sick of it!" "You guys messing with us every day!" "It's done!" "It's over!" "This is what's gonna happen if you keep messing with us, you hear me?" "!" "Hey!" "Come on!" "Roman, what are you doing here?" "Do you know what they'd do to you if they found you outside the Sector?" "You should be fighting alongside of me instead of against me!" "Cops!" "Come on!" "Roman." "Roman!" "Ro...!" " Are you okay?" " Emery, come on!" "Come on!" "Roman, get in!" "Are you nuts?" "Come on, Emery, just leave him!" "But what about the cops?" "!" "His problem, not ours!" "Come on!" "Emery, what are you doing?" "Let's go!" "Emery!" "Grayson, we got to go right now." "Roman, come on." "We'll be faster on foot." " We can't just leave her!" " Yes, we can, man!" "She's a total freak!" "Dude, she chose the Tattie over you." "Own it." "Come on!" "Let's go!" "Are you okay?" "Other than having possibly just committed social suicide?" "Sure." "You okay?" "You know, it's funny." "All these years, my dad has taught me about this vaunted thing called "humanity,"" "something that, by definition, we could never possess." "But... after spending just a few days amongst your kind... this concept of "humanity" doesn't seem so clear to me." "No." "There are a lot of good people out there." "Yeah?" "Well, I've only met one." "You don't have to be afraid." "Sorry." "It's my mom." "Hey." "I'll be home soon." "O... okay." "I'm on my way." "It's..." "Julia." "I have to go." "I understand." "If you keep walking straight, you'll find the road to the Sector." "Thanks." "Hey." "Are you okay?" "I have to go." "Teri." "You were with Roman a few hours ago." "Do you know where he is?" "It's almost curfew." "Teri?" "How could you let my son go out there?" "Is there a problem here, gentlemen?" "No, we're good." "Step away from the table." "Let me see your hands." "Ooh." "What's that?" "Not good, Weeble." "Drop your weapon!" "Weeble, no!" "Man down!" "Commander Whitehill!" "Ray!" "Are you okay?"

"DENNIS:" "Uh..." "I feel like you guys should have, like, dressed up a little bit for this." "CHARLIE:" "No, no, it sends the wrong image, you know?" "Uh, we're not selling a game for squares, we're selling a game for, like, everyday people like us, man." "DENNIS:" "Yeah, that's a good point." "MAC:" "Oh, Frank, Frank, Frank." "You will never guess what happened." "Okay." "So this guy comes in, right?" "We think he's just a regular customer." "We start chatting him up." "Turns out, he's an executive at Mattel." "DEE:" "Yeah, so of course we start talking to him about Chardee MacDennis, and he seemed totally into it." "Yeah, he's coming by today, man." "We're gonna pitch it to him." "Maybe we could, uh, work in some of the ideas I've been suggesting." "Those aren't "ideas" as much as they are... random acts of violence." "Well, you see, when I was a kid, games were much more violent." "I mean, we used to play "Purple Nurple,"" ""Sock Full of Quarters," "Kick the Jew"..." "DEE:" "No, why don't you try winning one time?" "And then you can start throwing in new rules." "How about we just change the name of the game then?" ""Franken MacChardeeden."" "MAC:" "What?" "That's terrible." "First of all, your name isn't "Franken."" "Secondly, Chardee MacDennis is just a working title." "Technically, we're still in arbitration." "Last we left it, Dee had filibustered, and Charlie had a motion pending." "And I will not yield to the gentleman." "'Cause you have no honor, you goddamn bitch." "You have no honor!" "You see what I'm talking about-- it's a whole thing, Frank." "Then let's call it "Chardee MacDennis 2:" "Electric Boogaloo."" "What?" "What are you talking about?" "What does that have to do with anything?" "What made you just think of that?" "It's not a break-dancing competition." "There's no electricity involved." "(door opens) Uh-uh-uh-uh." "Hey, there, how's it going, uh..." "Andy was it?" "Yes, exactly." "Ah, Andy, I want you to meet Frank." "Frank, uh, meet Andy from Mattel." "Hello, hello." "I got to tell ya-- I'm pretty excited." "Adult game play is a fast-rising market, and we are always on the lookout for something a little out of the box." "Oh, we-we can help you there, bud." "That's great." "Now, what was the name of the game again?" "Chardee MacDennis 2:" "Electric Boogaloo." "Okay, Andy, you're gonna like this video we made for you." "(screaming) (Charlie shouts indistinctly)" "(echoing):" "Chardee MacDennis." "Chardee MacDennis is all your favorite games rolled into one:" "Mouse Trap, Chutes and Ladders, Sorry..." "But it's not exactly like those things." "It's also like Boggle, Wheel of Fortune, Risk." "MAN:" "Chardee MacDennis!" "What other games do you like?" "It's like those other games too!" "But more better." "And different enough legally." "I'm a lawyer." "Shh!" "I'm a lawyer in this part." "We're like Moby... remix!" "(air horn blares) MAN:" "Ch-Ch-Chardee MacDennis!" "Regular board games should be called..." ""I'm bored... games"" "I don't get that one." "I..." "No, I told you not to..." "Stay out of my peripheral..." "Do you want a game that lulls you into a sense of security, but surprises you with constant rule changes?" "Then you want the game of games..." "Back... back up." "Sorry." "MAN (thundering):" "Chardee MacDennis!" "We always win." "And they always lose." "CHARLIE:" "What are you guys doing over there?" "Oh, shit." "(static hissing)" "W-Why'd you put that in?" "Yeah, what was that?" "Factually accurate." "So, Andy, what did you think?" "I... got to say, it's a little confusing." "Uh, can't we just play the game?" "Ooh." "Ooh, ooh, ooh." "Yeah." "That wouldn't be good." "Yeah, see, we tend to get a little competitive when we play." "You know, we're not exactly a mellow bunch." "Right." "That'll be fun." "Plus, that's the best way for me to understand the game." "But that's what...why you would understand..." "Yeah, that's why we did that." "Okay, let me confer with my associates for a minute." "Why don't you grab a drink?" "It's o-on the house, of course." "Um, guys, can we talk?" "Uh, cool, man." "I think we can probably, um..." "We can't..." "No, no, no... no, no," "I-I think we can." "Uh, we can do this, guys." "We just got to be..." "just got to make it fun." "You know what we have to do?" "Is we have to not care about who wins." "Just for this time." "Yes." "That'll help." "That will help." "We just have to sell the game." "Just sell it." "Okay." "We can do it." "All right, so, Frank, you'll be on Andy's team." "Wait, don't stick me with him." "He-he doesn't know the goddamn rules." "I'm gonna get crushed again." "Shut up, Frank, just..." "Shut up." "Shut up." "It's not about winning or losing." "Exactly." "It doesn't matter." "It's fun." "We're not gonna care..." "It's fun." "So we'll just... we'll keep our emotions in check." "Yeah." "Sure." "Just be like:" "(exhales)" "(all exhaling)" "Exactly." "(exhaling continues)" "Gentlemen, good luck to you." "And to yous." "And to yous all." "This is nice-- a little role playing." "Very big in gaming right now." "This also celebrates sportsmanship." "Yes, indeed." "Yeah, well, you're totally getting it." "You're catching on." "Oh, by the way, there used to be a couple rules about not cursing and not asking questions in certain rounds, but I think we should do away with that, for now, because it's your first time playing and, guys," "we don't want anybody blacking out." "Yeah, no problem." "Right, that's fine." "I think that'll be fine." "We're flexible." "It's a good idea." "Okay, are we ready?" "Three, two, one." "Gentlemen..." "suck my dick." "(shouting gibberish)" "Hut, hut, hut." "(playing bugle)" "What the hell's going on?" "Oh, uh, this is our flag-raising ceremony." "Yeah, we used to do the Maori war dance, but that-that got us a little too riled up." "Either way, this is all about intimidation and showing off your prowess." "Uh, think of it like the Indian-Pakistani border ceremony that they do over there." "Now, this is Mac and Charlie's flag, which, as you can see, is fairly badly burned." "Not only does the winner get to stomp the loser's game pieces, but they also get to burn their flag up." "Now, you'll notice that the Golden Geese flag is unsullied." "You'll also notice that" "Mac and Charlie's flag is just a little weird, and that's because their original name was the Thundercats, uh... but they were confused by that." "Well, 'cause we're not cats." "Yeah." "We're not cats." "So, then, how could we..." "Mm-hmm." "Even though it's the name they chose." "So they went with the Thundermen." "(playing quavering note)" "This brings us to Frank's flag, which is, uh... yeah, it's just unfortunate." "FRANK:" "It's four Fs." "I didn't know it was gonna come off like that." "Pretty sure you did." "(playing rousing tune)" "Okay, Andy, Level 1 is Trivia, Puzzles and Artistry." "The first team to get three points moves their game piece to the next level." "All right." "Here we go." "All right." "What Philly celebrity would you most want to have a drink with?" "Oh, shit, okay, yeah, you know what-- a lot of the questions are opinion-based." "Heads up." "Ah." "Okay..." "I-I see." "Uh, all right, this is, uh, let me guess." "Um..." "Oh:" "Dr. J." "That's not it!" "All right, all right." "Play it cool, play it cool." "Okay, okay, sorry." "Yeah, all right." "That is wrong, though." "You wouldn't want to have a drink with him." "Dee, chance to steal." "Bill Cosby." "Yes!" "All right." "Point for us." "Shit." "A lot of the questions are outdated." "Yeah, yeah, they are a little outdated." "Okay, our turn, our turn." "Um, artistry." "And it's an all-play, guys." "Oh!" "Oh!" "All right, now, a member of each team must make this clue out of clay while the other member tries to guess what it is." "Okay, uh, penis." "What?" "Uh, lip-penis." "What?" "No, look, look." "Oh, hard penis." "A hard clay penis." "Oh..." "Gargoyle inside." "No?" "It's a-a, okay, a chopped-off head, a decapitat..." "uh, head in a box!" "Dee, I'm gonna put your head in a box if you don't start getting the answer right." "Goddamn it!" "A heart, it's a heart!" "Uh, it's, uh... it's, uh, love!" "Love!" "Oh!" "He got it!" "Was that it?" "(whoops)" "Get another card." "How do you make a heart?" "If the..." "Love?" "Yeah, because I was making, uh, Cupid's arrow, dude." "Well, why does it have a big vein running through it?" "Because that's the streak as it flies through the air." "Come..." "At least I didn't put a woman's head in a box." "This is not a woman's head in a box, you sick freak." "This is a woman's head in a freezer." "And it's supposed to represent the preservation of love forever and ever." "Whatever, dude." "It's our turn, it's our turn." "We go." "BOTH:" "No puzzles, no puzzles, no puzzles, no puzzles no puzzles, no puzzles..." "Puzzles." "Oh!" "Put this bottle back together." "Oh, shit." "Oh." "Yeah." "Oh, that's interesting." "What bottle?" "This one." "Now just be very, very careful." "Okay." "Final touches, final touches." "Watch that blue string-- don't pull it apart." "Okay, okay, okay." "Okay, okay." "All right." "Ready, ready?" "Okay, okay, okay... okay." "Okay, very..." "Very careful." "Very, very careful." "It held." "It held!" "It held!" "Just swallowed a little glass, but it held, man!" "You see, that's what I'm talking about-- you sacrifice, you put the work in..." "That's right!" "you earn that card." "We're catching up to 'em." "Hey..." "Okay, it's our turn, then." "Dennis and Dee skip right to Level 2." "Yes, yes!" "Aw..." "Aw..." "Face, face!" "(squawks)" "Due to some alcohol-related cheating, we decided to incorporate I.V.'s to keep everything on the up-and-up." "You guys were the ones that were cheating." "Yeah, yeah." "Now, I feel like Andy has to have one of these." "Well, Andy's our guest." "We don't want to be poking him with needles." "Unfair, unfair!" "Yeah, unfair, unfair, unfair." "Hey, hey, as you can see, Mac and Charlie are a little worked up about never having won the game." "Ever." "I'm a little concerned about the safety of this." "The..." "Why..." "Oh, oh, If it were beer?" "No, no, no, no-- we're mainlining wine." "It's not beer." "We switched Level 2 to wine because you can't mainline beer because it's got bubbles in it and shit." "We tried-- it was bad." "I'm not sure it's safe for people to put those beverages directly in..." "Time!" "(blasting note)" "(gasps) Oh!" "(grunts)" "Okay, Andy, welcome to Round 2 (Body):" "Physical Challenge, Pain and Endurance." "Okay, now, we've added a new challenge to Level 2-- this is, this is really exciting." "So what you do-- you spin the globe, you point your finger." "Wherever your finger lands, you have to speak in the accent of that region for the rest of the round, otherwise, you gotta drink." "That sounds fun." "That's a great idea." "Isn't that good?" "Isn't that good?" "Let's go." "Uh... ha!" "Russia!" "Oh, okay, so I got it." "I guess I... (Russian accent):" "I guess I got to do that?" "Huh?" "(Russian accent):" "You do Russia." "Hey, look at Andy, look at Andy." "Okay, let's see..." "DENNIS:" "What do you got?" ""Brasial."" "No, Brazil." "Mm-hmm." "Wh-What's the accent of Brazil?" "It's a-it's a country in South America-- why don't we say any Latin American accent'll do?" "Any Latin American?" "Okay." "(bad Mexican accent):" "Okay, homie." "Uh..." "Hola, le homes." "Yeah, I can do that." "Yeah." "Okay, man." "Nachos." "Oh, real racist with it, huh?" "Yeah, that is extremely racist-- and by the way, that's more of a Los Angeles sort of Mexican cholo vibe." "Let's go..." "let's go see the Dodgers play the Lakers." "Low rider." "Okay." "Uh, Dee, you want to spin for us?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Jesus Christ." "Oh!" "Ah, would you look at that" "Philadelphia." "FRANK:" "That shouldn't be on there." "You barely spinned it, homes." "That's bullshit, man." "(Philadelphia accent):" "Hallelujah." "Looks like the tide's turned." "Yeah, looks like we got an advantage over yous guys, huh, Den?" "(with accent):" "What is going on?" "What the hell is that?" "My Philly accent." "Wow, that's not even close." "Drink, homes." "Ow!" "Okay, slower." "All right." "Physical challenge." "And this one's an all-play." "Oh!" "Hey!" "Okay, everybody." "This is good." "We like..." "Hands on a bird body!" "(groans) A member from each team must try and keep their hand on Dee's bony body for as long as they can." "(groans) Dis is shit." "Dis is not good." "I don't understand." "(exhales through teeth)" "Hang in there, homes." "I can't do it, "mang." I can't do it." "You barely even put your hand on there already." "Hang in there, man." "I know, but..." "Ah!" "I can't do it, I can't do it!" "Oh!" "Ha!" "Mac, that's crazy!" "Ay, ay, ay!" "Mac and Charlie are out!" "Hey, why'd you do that?" "I couldn't do it!" "Ay, ay, ay!" "Oh, violation!" "That's not L.A. Mexican." "That's, like, Cartoon Mexican." "We barely even switched it, homie." "No, I don't know." "I'll have a drink, all right?" "You got to drink, too." "Oh... (Middle Eastern accent):" "What is so hard about keeping one hand on this woman?" "She's a very pleasant woman." "She's a very, very pretty woman." "Ugh." "Don't sexualize her, dude." "This is bad enough as it is." "(Germanic accent):" "Vhat is the matter, Dennis?" "Vhy are you zo uncomfortable?" "Because the closeness of your hand to her breast..." "Stop." "Yeah, stop. ...which is making you want to have sex with her?" "Don't, don't... oh, goddamn it!" "Ugh!" "Oh..." "Oh!" "(gasps) Wait, what's... what's going on?" "You stupid idiot." "Oh, my God, you glued your hand to her!" "Cheater!" "Cheater!" "Cheater!" "Oh, is that the accent drop?" "Yeah, yeah, all accents are dropped the minute someone gets caught cheating." "Yeah, yeah, we have to be able to break them in our native tongue to allow for maximum shame." "Shame, shame, shame..." "Shame, shame... (all shouting "Shame!")" "So... so no more I.V.'s?" "No, no, no, no." "No, no, no, no." "That's a Level 2 game." "You don't want to mainline liquor, buddy." "You don't want to do it." "Still a pretty stiff drink." "Oh, yeah." "Things get ratcheted up in Level 3." "Then even get worse in Level 4." "There is no Level 4." "Yes, there is:" "Mind, body, spirit, horror." "Stop, Frank." "Come on." "There's no horror level." "Look, Andy, his ideas don't represent the game." "They don't represent us." "Okay, pick a card now..." "Whoa!" "Shits and Ladders." "Oh!" "(chuckles)" "Sort of a play on Chutes and Ladders." "Oh, yeah." "Each member must take a laxative and get on a ladder." "The one who can hold it in the longest wins." "FRANK:" "Love this one." "Also known as Shoots and Splatters." "Poops and Bladders!" "(laughter) Andy!" "I'll go get the laxatives." "All right, All right." "FRANK:" "Here you go." "Strongest stuff on the market." "All right." "All right." "(grunts)" "Mm." "Oh, that's strong." "Ugh!" "I don't like it." "Okay, to the ladders!" "(groans)" "I'm already feeling a twinge." "(yawns)" "Yeah, I-I feel something." "I don't feel like I have to poop, though." "I feel weird." "I kind of feel crazy." "Like, what is that?" "That isn't a laxative, is it, Frank?" "Nope." "Welcome to Level 4," "(echoing):" "horror." "(distorted laughter)" "Oh." "What is this?" "Wake up, guys." "Wake up." "What's going on?" "(grunting)" "(groaning)" "FRANK:" "Hello, gang." "The keys to your cuffs have been sewn into your forearm." "Beside you are some tweezers attached to a car battery." "Last team out of the room loses." "Frank, this is insane." "Let us out of here!" "What are you doing?" "Everything has to be based on an existing board game!" "That's the whole thing!" "Oh, but it is, Dennis." "Ever hear of a game called..." "Operation?" "(cackles)" "Oh, shit." "He's got a point." "Damn it." "Let's go." "(grunting) (zapping)" "(shouting) (zapping continues)" "This game is totally insane!" "DENNIS:" "Don't give up on the game!" "The game is fine!" "(groans) No, no, no, no." "No, this isn't representative of us..." "Oh, God!" "Oh!" "Oh, I'm gonna stop!" "I'm gonna stop!" "No, I quit, too." "I quit." "I can't do it." "I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it!" "DENNIS:" "Oh, God!" "It's just the bone." "DEE:" "Charlie!" "Oh, Jesus Christ, dude!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "I think you shit your pants, too." "Well, it was probably just the laxative kicking in." "It wasn't a goddamn laxative, Charlie!" "You just pooped your pants!" "You guys quit!" "You quit and we won the game!" "(grunts) Finally." "Finally, I won the game." "This is not what I signed up for, you donkey-brained maniac!" "Uncuff me!" "Cool it, cool it." "Take it easy." "I mean, it's just a... it's just a simple mind game." "No one had a key on 'em." "You know, I knew they'd cave like bitches." "DENNIS:" "Hold on a second." "Wait a second." "Andy, did you just call him "donkey-brained"?" "Yeah." "What?" "It's an expression." "What did you mean by" ""not what I signed up for"?" "Do you two know each other?" "No!" "No..." "No." "No." "No." "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait-- look at this, guys." ""Mattel" is spelled wrong on his business card." "That says "Matel."" "I'm calling this number." "(phone ringing)" "FRANK (recorded):" "Welcome to the home of Wolf Cola... (gasps) (shouting "Cheaters!")" "Oh, okay, Frank, so you clearly just hired this guy so that you could win and put your stamp on the game!" "No, there's no truth in that at all." "No." "Tell 'em, Andy." "(door slams)" "MAC:" "What?" "!" "It was all bullshit?" "It was just a hoax?" "Yeah." "DENNIS:" "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait..." "Unreal." "So, then, if this isn't about selling the game anymore..." "Well, then it's about winning." "DENNIS:" "Okay, here we go." "Public humiliation." "Are you ready, Charles?" "(slurring):" "Yes..." "Okay, I'm-I'm in a sort of..." "Dude, are you-you sure you're okay?" "You might've lost a lot of blood from digging around in there with the tweezers." "You know." "He's around it." "Yep." "Here we go." "Okay, then here we go." "You have to withstand one full minute of intense berating." "Okay, that's, uh, lights on." "He's ready. "Lights on," he said." ""Lights on." Okay." "But it's not gonna be from us." "Nope." "Not from us." "It's from her!" "Ow!" "Ow!" "You're holding my hair!" "Okay, hold on a second." "Ow, let go!" "Oh, my God, that hurt so much!" "Goddamn it." "Okay, well, you know what, it was supposed to be a big reveal." "I had a whole thing planned." "What's wrong with you?" "You know what, of course you ruined it-- you are the worst." "THE WAITRESS:" "Oh, my God, what is that smell?" "Is that poop?" "Did you poop in your pants, Charlie?" "Yeah." "Oh, gross." "That's so disgusting." "This is gonna be so easy." "No, dude, don't listen to them, okay?" "(sniffles) You can do this, Charlie." "If you can not cry for just one minute, just one minute, we win the goddamn game." "Yeah, man." "You can do this." "Are you ready?" "Yeah." "(grunts) Okay, yeah." "All right." "Okay." "Okay." "Here we go." "I can do..." "DENNIS:" "Ready, get set, go." "Charlie Kelly, I have been waiting for this for a long time, you poop-smelling" "(distorted):" "trash person." "Your face, it looks like a troll!" "You look like you have troll features!" "You stalked me!" "There's something wrong with you!" "Your brain is broken!" "I hate you!" "I hope you die!" "And I hope you go to hell!" "Three!" "Two!" "And I hope it burns!" "One!" "(distorted shouting) You did it!" "You did it!" "Holy shit!" "MAC:" "We won!" "(shouts happily)" "DENNIS:" "Charlie?" "DEE:" "Come on, buddy, you can do it." "Come on, wake up, Charlie, wake up." "I don't know if he's gonna wake up." "I don't either." "Charlie, come on, buddy." "Charlie, are you okay?" "Charlie..." "Charlie, open your eyes." "DENNIS:" "Charlie?" "Oh." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "There he is." "Oh, thank God." "Oh, thank God." "We thought we lost you, buddy." "We thought we lost you." "Hey." "Oh, my God." "Oh, man." "What happened?" "God..." "like, all I remember is, like, winning the game and then passing out." "Is that how you remember it?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "No." "No, no, you cried like a baby." "Yeah, pretty much right when the waitress started talking, you cried like a little bitch." "Quite a bit." "Yeah." "Yeah." "You-you must have been hallucinating from all the blood poisoning." "So... did you guys win?" "Yeah." "Big-time." "We always do." "So did you crush our game pieces?" "No." "Oh, my God, Charlie, no." "Charlie, we weren't even thinking about the game anymore." "No one was." "We were terrified for you." "With you in that condition?" "Really?" "Oh, thank you." "Oh, thank you so much, guys." "Oh, God." "Are you kidding me?" "That's, like, really, the nicest thing you've ever done." "Uh, Dee, can you..." "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah." "(sighs) Charlie, no, we wouldn't have done that with you... with you in that condition." "Yeah." "It-it..." "No." "But now that you're conscious, you know..." "Dee, are you, uh, all set back there?" "Yep." "Okay." "Loser." "Yeah!" "(both taunting, screeching)" "DEE:" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!" "(both honking) Yeah!" "Yeah!"

""Kunoichi"" "It is a term of most unusual origin..." "Many believe it is based on the sounds creaeted while making the brush strokes to write the character for "woman" in Japanese." "However, "kunoichi" is properly written with the Japanese characters for "nine" and "one"." ""9-1" is also the Chinese designation for a female spy." "The derivation of this name is thus:" "It is a fact that every human body has at least nine "holes"." "However, the body of a woman has one additional" "That is, when compared to men." "On that anatomical note, we now present the battle of a female ninja who uses that female weapon to its fullest." "Leqend of the Voluptuous Kunoichi" "Leqend of the Voluptuous Kunoichi Tsubame's Story" "You've gotten better, Tsubame." "All thanks to you." "No, we can't go any further." "I want you, I want you!" "No!" "Tsubame, do you not like me?" "Then why?" "Is it your brother?" "I have to go." "Tsubame!" "Before you go, can you tell me you love me?" "I love you..." "Tsubame, I love you!" "Where were you?" "Just outside." "I told you not to go into town." "You know, don't you?" "For us shinobi, mingling with the common folk is..." "Strictly forbidden." "For us shinobi, mingling with the common folk is..." "I know very well." "We have secret orders, sit down." "It's a direct order from our lord, Kuniyoshi Tajimi, issued an hour ago." "What?" "Listen, this is a very important mission, a mission only you can do." "Yes!" "As you know, Lord Kuniyoshi doesn't have a wife." "Because of that, Koicha, the concubine of Lord Kunisada, his father, is apparently plotting to have him assassinated to elevate her own son Kunitsuna to become the next in line." "Mother..." "Kunitsuna..." "Mother?" "Kaede, Lord Kuniyoshi's wife, has already been cursed by some sort of spell caster and can't resist earthly temptations any longer." "Though Lord Kuniyoshi planned to have his concubine, Yamabuki, bear his child so he could become the rightful heir..." "I've also been reduced to this sorry state." "I can't make the journey to the village beyond the mountains to see Yamabuki." "Yet, summoning Yamabuki would be too dangerous." "That's when..." "Lord Kuniyoshi remembered your secret ability." "My secret ability?" "The ability to store a man's seed inside your womb for seven days after intercourse, an ability which only you possess." "The Spell of Transportation..." "You will have intercourse with Lord Kuniyoshi, deliver his seed to the village beyond the mountains, and implant it in Yamabuki's womb." "Be at ease." "Get up." "So, you are Tsubame." "Yes!" "I apologize for asking this of you." "Don't mention it, sir." "Well, I don't know how much longer my body has left, but I've done enough living for a million men." "I haven't time to fight you." "I am prepared, sir." "Good, then wait in the other room." "Excuse my insolence!" "I have but one request." "Fine, speak." "May I approach?" "I'll allow it." "Thank you, lord." "All right." "Thank you." "Let us begin, then." "Excuse me." "Is this your first time?" "I will be gentle." "Beautiful..." "It's like a beautiful flower." "I'm going inside you now." "Umm..." "Virgins really are so tight." "I'm going to cum." "My lord, I have received plenty of your seed." "I'm counting on you, Tsubame." "Where are you going?" "We're leaving right away." "Just outside." "Come back right away." "Yes!" "Taichi, I'm definitely going to come back." "Brother!" "Brother, what happened?" "!" "Tsubame, hurry!" "The enemy is already onto us." "No!" "Stop worrying about me!" "Go!" "Brother!" "A kunoichi, huh?" "You bastard!" "You're too weak." "I can still spare your life." "What is Kuniyoshi planning?" "I see, you don't want to talk." "Then, I'll have to beat it out of you!" "Brother..." "Damn it!" "Brother..." "Brother, hang in there." "Tsubame..." "Tsubame, I'm counting on you!" "Brother!" "If you complete this mission, you will be relieved of your shinobi duties." "I have received permission from Lord Kuniyoshi." "Start a family with Taichi." "Would it be possible to relieve Tsubame of her duties as a shinobi after this mission is over?" "I'll allow it." "Brother!" "Avenge me..." "Brother?" "Brother!" "Brother!" "They seem to be up to something." "I see, and?" "They got away this time, but another plan has already been set in motion." "I will capture that kunoichi Tsubame and reveal the nature of her secret mission." "What happened?" "You're hurt badly." "Let me treat that, come." "You're set now." "If you had left it untreated, it would have gotten infected." "Thank you." "There's porridge in the pot." "Have some and regain your strength." "Don't be shy now." "Anyway, whose kunoichi are you?" "The wound speaks volumes." "I know because I used to be one too." "You too?" "Yes, but not anymore." "If you don't want to talk about it, it's fine." "You'd be a failure as a shinobi if you answered every question anyway." "I'll take you to a hot spring once you've eaten." "The water is really nice." "It will heal that wound in no time!" "Nice, isn't it?" "Yes!" "I feel rejuvenated!" "Umm, I have a question." "Go ahead." "Why are you living out here, so far from civilization?" "People who lived in the shadows like me, we don't get along with normal people that easily." "Are you thinking about quitting your life as a shinobi?" "Is there a man you want to be with?" "I was like you too, now that I think about it." "He was a ninja on the enemy's side." "It was a love that could never be." "Hayabusa, where is he?" "What is he doing now?" "Hayabusa?" "Do you know him?" "He's my brother." "What?" "!" "That means you're Tsubame?" "So, where is he now?" "He's dead." "I see." "Kill me!" "Kill me already!" "What are you doing?" "Why were we born as rivals?" "It's our fate!" "Everything's fate!" "Then, it's also fate that we met." "What are you babbling about?" "Kill me already!" "If I'm going to be killed by you, this is how I want it to be." "That was the only time we had sex." "After that, my lord lost against the Tajimi clan and I somehow made it here." "I wonder what would have happened if I had stopped being a shinobi back then?" "By the way, what kind of mission are you on right now?" "Our encounter must have also been guided by fate." "I'll help you in any way I can." "Don't worry, I don't hold a grudge against the Tajimi clan anymore." "You're just as stubborn as Hayabusa!" "Get your rest tonight." "I'm sure that your wound will have healed by morning." "Taichi..." "This way, Tsubame." "Taichi!" "Hurry up, Tsubame." "Taichi?" "Taichi, wait!" "Taichi!" "Taichi!" "What's the matter, Tsubame?" "Taichi?" "Yeah..." "When you disappeared, I went to your hut and saw that terrible scene." "While I was worrying what might have happened," "Kagero appeared and told me about this place." "Kagero did?" "Yeah..." "What in the world happened?" "You can't tell me?" "Taichi..." "Do you dislike me, Tsubame?" "I wanted to see you." "Really?" "Then, tell me that you love me, like always." "Go ahead." "Who the hell are you?" "!" "What are you talking about?" "I'm just..." "There is no way that a normal person could have gotten here in half a day, when it took me two days with my wounded leg." "Besides, I haven't told Kagero about Taichi!" "Well done." "You are Hayabusa's sister after all." "Well, I guess I'll do this by force then." "I'll get revenge for my lord now!" "Now, spit it out." "What are Kuniyoshi's secret orders?" "!" "Struggle!" "The more you struggle, the more these will cut into your body." "Now, speak!" "If you don't, your body will be cut in half." "Now, I can finally be with Hayabusa." "What's this?" "Ah I see, I finished my mission." "It looks like it will rain." "Brother!" "Tsubame, Taichi..." "My brother's alive too." "Lunch time!" "Did you make these?" "Yeah..." "It's good, huh?" "Yeah, it's great!" "Oh no, I fell asleep." "I have to hurry up, the spell's going to fade." "If only I wasn't transporting this cargo..." "If I did that, my brother's death would be in vain." "Taichi, I will definitely return." "You're..." "I finally got you." "Now, let's hear Kuniyoshi's secret orders." "What is he planning?" "I don't know." "What are you doing?" "If you keep being stubborn, your pretty skin will get cut." "What about this, then?" "Spit it out already." "Spit it out or else you won't be able to use this anymore." "I don't know!" "Damn, you're an annoying bitch!" "However, what about this?" "Can you see him?" "That's..." "The next time it won't be fake." "You're a coward." "Say what you want." "If you value his life, you better start talking." "I don't know." "I don't know that man." "What?" "!" "All right, then we will see who is better at this game." "Tsu..." "Tsubame!" "Why are you here?" "I don't know that man." "Then, you don't care what happens to this man?" "Tsubame..." "What is..." "Taichi, I'm sorry." "How about now?" "Willing to talk?" "I said I don't know him!" "How about this, then?" "I don't know him." "If you don't talk now, this guy's legs will be crushed." "You damn stubborn kunoichi." "Kunoichi?" "Stop!" "Don't!" "Don't say it." "Taichi..." "Tsubame, do you know how worried I was when you disappeared?" "Now, I understand." "Why you never said that you love me." "I never thought that you were a shinobi." "That's why I'm glad that I could see you again, even like this." "Taichi..." "If I'm obstructing your mission, then I don't need to live." "I will die for you." "Don't be stupid!" "Could you just tell me before I die?" "Taichi..." "Taichi..." "I love you!" "You bastard!" "Go to Hell!" "I thank you for undertaking this arduous journey." "It was my mission." "And our lord's seed?" "It's securely stored in my womb." "That truly is a wondrous ability." "We don't have much time." "We should get right to it." "What should I do?" "First, please disrobe." "Now, please spread your legs." "I'll begin now." "My lord?" "Yamabuki, I've missed you." "I've missed you too." "Now, please have my child." "I promise that I will give you a worthy son." "Right!" "Taichi..." "Tsubame..." "Is this a dream?" "Whatever it is, we're finally united." "Everything you do feels so wonderful." "Yamabuki, you're so beautiful." "I love you." "I love you!" "You finally said it." "I love you too." "My lord, I'm going to..." "Me too!" "Tsubame!" "Taichi!" "I have received our lord's seed." "Yes..." "A FEW MONTHS LATER" "Please be safe." "You have done a great deal for us." "Are you sure that you will not come to the castle?" "I'll make sure that you are rewarded properly." "You're too kind." "You are too selfless." "No, I've already been relieved from my shinobi duties." "Now, I'm just a girl who doesn't fit into society." "You needn't be concerned about me." "I am just going to live here quietly by myself." "I see." "Well then..." "I'm going back to our lord."

"No, Dolores!" "Leave me be!" "Let go of me!" "Let go of me, Dolores!" "Let me go!" "Please, Dolores." "Got a certified letter here." "Never believe what happened down at the dock." "Dolores Claiborne, what the hell are you...." "Oh, my God." "What have you done?" "Put it down." "Do you hear me?" "Just put it down." "Jesus, Dolores." "Oh, God." "Oh, my God." "You killed her." " So you lose the picture." " Not happening." "It's half a page." "I'll let you write the caption." " Come on, Peter." "It's crucial." " It's salad." "I'm setting up the whole campaign." "It's a better piece without it." "You already said it was brilliant." "I said it was wonderful." " There's a difference?" " Yeah." "Half a page." "Fine." "I only left it in so you'd cut it out anyway." "I'm ready for Arizona." "Wait to see what I've got for the malpractice piece." " The surgeon's ex-wife...." " Wait a minute." "Had her on the phone for 20 minutes last night." " I haven't assigned you that story." " You will." "Slow down." "Come on, Peter." "There's a book here." "I deserve this." "Why does every story have to be do or die with you?" "You're not the only writer here, okay?" "I've got a dozen people out there to keep happy." "You know that." "Great." "So now you're not only not fucking me anymore, you're fucking me." "What is it, Helen?" "There's a fax here for Selena." "From Phoenix?" "No, it's a clipping from the Bangor Daily News." ""Socialite Dead, Housekeeper Held for Questioning." " "Mrs. Dolores St. George of--"" " Where's the cover sheet?" "Fax?" "Forget it." "They're hardly out of the 19th century up here." "Are you kidding?" "No, there's no motel." "One restaurant." "They've got me sleeping on a cot in the town hall." "Tell him to relax." "This is no vacation." "I'll be back on the mainland as soon as I wrap this up." " Can I help you?" " Yes." "I'm looking for Dolores Claiborne." "And you are?" "I'm her daughter." "I'm John Mackey." " Detective, Maine State Police." " Hello." "Would you please call Constable Stamshaw?" " Get him to come right out." " Yes, sir." "I'm sorry." "No smoking." "Public building." "We've met before, Miss St. George." "Have we?" "You were about 13." "What year was that, the eclipse?" "Must have been, what, '75?" "I was the investigator when your father died." "We met at the hearing." "What's up, John?" "Miss St. George is here." "Selena?" "Oh, my gravy." "Frank Stamshaw." "Marshall's brother." " Right." " Jonesport High." " Of course." "How are you?" " It's been quite a while, I guess." "Certainly has." "To be honest, I'm kind of surprised to see you here." "Your mom's been pretty firm about us not trying to contact you." " I didn't know Dolores made any calls." " She didn't call." "I saw the Bangor paper." "It was faxed to my office." "And where's that?" "I came up from New York." "Look, is she here or not?" " Yeah." "She's right upstairs." " Thank you." "But...." "John?" "Is she under arrest?" "Technically, no." "Detective Mackey came out last night, and we're just getting started." "Started?" "On what?" "We've scheduled an inquest for Monday morning." "It'll take the weekend to try and sort things out." "If she's not under arrest why is she in custody?" "Right, okay." "Vera Donovan is dead." "There's an autopsy in Machais this morning." "And you know she died from a fall." "Your mother was the only person with Mrs. Donovan at the time." "That was her job, wasn't it?" "I'm afraid, Miss St. George there's a little more to this than what you may have read in the paper." "Dolores, what are you doing?" "Straightening up this friggin' mess, is what I'm doing." "Gory, but this place is a dump." "Jesus." "You're a suspect, you're not a maid." "Just leave that be." "There's someone to see you here." "I told you, I don't want no lawyer." "It's your daughter." "My God." "Look at you." "You cut your hair." "I didn't...." "You call her?" "Is that what you did?" " Jeezly crow, you got some nerve." " She's here on her own." "Look at you." "I'm just...." "My God." "Is it really you?" "Look." " Hey, Miss Claiborne!" " Kill anyone else today?" "Not just yet." "When I change my mind, I know exactly where I'm gonna start." " Go home." " Where's the car?" "Right there across the street." "I know you've been living at the Donovan house." "It's a crime scene now." "I got my own house, and you know it." "We'd like her to stay on the island for at least the next four days." "If I decide to make my grand escape to South America, I'll let you know first." " I'd appreciate it." " One last thing, Mrs. St. George." "Name is Claiborne!" "I changed it back after Joe died, and you know it." "I'm very sorry, Miss Claiborne." "'Morning, Pam." "I'm sorry, but I think it's for the best if you got yourself some legal representation." "You're sorry, are you?" "Bet the last time you were sorry was when you needed to use the pay toilet when the string on your pet dime broke." "I'm just muzzying here, trying to think of what to say." "All grown up looking so...." "You turned out a beautiful woman, Selena." "I just can't believe you're here." "That makes two of us." "I'm sure there's a reason for why you'd go out of your way to antagonize them like that." "Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has to hold onto." "Nice car." "It's a rental." "You pay by the day or by the week?" "I assume that's your way of asking how long I'm staying." "Good gory, you're more nervous than I am." "I have to be in Phoenix on Monday." "It's a big story." "I'm trying to get out of it, but it may not be possible, all right?" "I didn't kill her." "I didn't push her down that friggin' staircase." "That's what you want to know, ain't it?" "Well, I'm telling you." "I did not murder that bitch any more than I'm wearing a diamond tiara." "He's got an eyewitness who puts you standing over a dead body with a rolling pin." "So when did you start smoking?" "Are you not listening to me?" "They're talking murder here." "You're lucky I didn't have to post bail." "Spooky, ain't it?" "Can't stand out here all day." "What a mess." "A regular bunch of artistes." "Look at this mess." "Cheese and crackers." "Friggin' little bastards." "I've got an idea who they are, too." "Let me try." "Selena." "Get in the house." "Selena, I said get in the house, right now." "I am in the house." "It's cold, I know." "God, it's a dust bowl." "Thank God I kept the electric up." "I got some wood." "We'll have hot water pretty quick." "Clean linen is upstairs, last I looked." "Longer you stand there, the more boogery it's gonna feel." "It's dead." "It's off three years, at least." "I'd know that if I called more often, right?" "You called Vera's last Christmas." "The lines go both ways, Mother." "Look, this isn't gonna work." "I need a phone." "I'm gonna stay at the motel." "It's closed." "It's off-season." "What about Riner's Inn?" "He's gone." "Burned down." "Must be five years ago by now." "Shit." "There's phones in town." " We've gotta go shoppin' anyway." " I'll go." "Alone." "I'll take care of it." "You don't know what we need." "I'm assuming it's everything." "You know what?" "I've got a game." "Let's count by fives." "You want to play hide and seek?" "Ready?" "5, 10,15, 20 25, 30." "Where is she?" "Where did she go?" "I can't find Selena anywhere." "I hear an awful lot of thunder upstairs, but I can't find Selena anywhere." "Where is she?" "Is she lost?" "What was that I heard?" "What did I hear?" "I don't know." "I think I heard something." "There you are." "Let me help you." "That's my job." " You must be starving." " All these calls." "Ended up longer than I thought." "Water's warm." "You'll want a nice, hot bath." "I got this." "I spent an hour tracking down this goddamn radiologist just so that he could tell me he won't go on record." "Is that your new story?" "You say there's hot water?" "Why don't you go on up and get yourself fresh?" "Go on." "It won't bite you." "Must be a lot of pressure." "All them famous people talking to them." "I framed the picture." "You and Richard Nixon." "He was selling a book." "I got a scrapbook." "Saved all your articles." "Drugstore in Jonesport puts them aside for me." "I used to read them to Vera when she was clear enough to listen." "You've done so well for yourself." "Is that what you think?" "How well I've done?" "Hell, even Miss Vera Kiss-My-Back-Cheeks Donovan couldn't help but be impressed." "The look on her face the day you wrote that first picture-on-the-cover story...." "You would've thought she passed a brick." "Maybe you ought to slow down." "Believe me, I know my limit." "Don't that sound familiar?" "I'd leave it alone if I were you." "I've seen my share of drunks, is all." "That's all I'm sayin'." "What did he have to be happy about?" "I suppose making sure everyone else was as miserable as he was." "Is that why you killed him?" "Oh, tough question, I guess." "Occupational hazard." "Don't feel too bad, Ma." "I asked Jean Harris the same thing once." "Let's face it, Mother." "We barely know each other." "We haven't spoken in years, and that's as much your doing as it is mine." "You didn't kill Vera, great." "You've got nothing to worry about." "If you did, then you deserve whatever comes." "Just let's not pretend we're in some goddamn Norman Rockwell family reunion here." "I'm sorry, Ma, but that's where we are." "And as for Dad...." "The few memories I have of him I'd like to keep." "Are you listening to me?" "Daddy." "We made tapioca!" "Get out." "We did." "And it's not instant either." "And with real cream." "And the next thing you'll tell me is you made it just for me, right?" "Oh, McCrea, there's that St. George smile." " Don't you look just like my mother?" " That's enough fooling around." "Tell her she's got homework to do." "You better do your homework." "Theo called about the chain winch." "He's got them parts sitting' there." "Says he'll go as high as $250." "I changed my mind." "I ain't selling'." "It's not worth $100." "You said so yourself." "He's got those boats in dry dock." "He needs the damn thing." "Ain't that the point in AA, helping' out your buddies?" ""Helpin' out."" "Shit." "Besides, if I get that thing runnin', it's worth $250 a month." "Goddamn it!" "The soda's warm!" "I only got home a half hour ago." "It went in first thing." "It's hard enough drinking' this stuff cold." "What's so fuckin' funny?" "Your pants." "They're split clear the way up." "Well, ain't that a scream!" "You're pretty goddamn frisky all of a sudden, Dolores." "Let me guess." "I'll bet that Vera Donovan's got a whole freezer full of soda." "Take them off." "I'll mend them after supper." "What's the deal?" "You kiss that rich summer ass all day long, you got nothin' left for me." "Just remember, your father used to scrape my old man's boat so don't be gettin' high and mighty on me." "If you still had the boats, we wouldn't need the extra money." "Looky here." "A big old smily moon." "This is just for you." "Want to see the dark side?" "Yeah, I guess it is pretty funny." "I hope you haven't been walkin' around like that all day long." "Why the hell'd you make me do it?" "Fourteen times four equals 28?" "Go on." "Sure it is." "It's 14." "It's not!" "You take 14 you bend till it snaps in half...." "Could I have another, with raisins?" "Not till after dinner." " You were right about that real cream." " He loved the raisins." "He said it's my best ever." "Mom, the cabbage." "Move it off the heat for me, will ya?" "I'm just...." "I'm just resting here a minute." "That's right." "She run her mouth off till she got tuckered out." "Plum tuckered out." "Mom?" "Do you want me to set the table?" "That'd be nice." "Thank you, dear." "Stay tuned now for Walter Cronkite." "Each girl is representing a lifeguard station up the length of Alquinin Beach." ""Algonquin," you goddamn flylander." "Damn it, that better not be one of my mother's dishes." "You ought to take a look at this." "You might want to see what an ass is supposed to look like." "Them guys on the boat always talking everybody saying what a looker you are." "You know what I do?" "I come right to your defense." "I say, "Shit, she may be ugly now, but you should've seen her when I was drinkin'."" "My mother warned me you'd let yourself go." "Fat ass, lousy cooking running that goddamn mouth" "Guess what, Joe?" "I ain't tired anymore." "You better sit back down, if you don't want this in your head." "Mommy?" "Go on back to bed, honey." "Your father and I are just having a little discussion here." "Is everything all right?" "Yeah." "Isn't it, Joe?" "Right as rain." "You go ahead, honey." "Go on back to bed now." "Daddy?" "Go on." "Oh, bitch ain't you gonna get a payback." "Go on." "All I ask is that you do it quick." "Don't let Selena see the mess once it's over." "You want to run me down?" "You go right ahead." "You can be as mean and hurtful as you want." "But this is the last time you will ever hit me." "You do it again one of us is going to the bone yard." "Well, make yourself useful, woman." "Bring me a towel for my head!" "I'm bleeding all over my goddamn shirt!" "That was one lesson he got the first time." "Maybe the only one." "It's been a long day." "You must be tired." "What do you want me to say?" ""Thanks for sharing?"" "Been looking all over for you." "It's as cold as Christmas." "What are you doing?" "I couldn't sleep." "Catch your death out here." "Tell me about Plan B." "I want you to tell me you've got a plan, Mother." "If it's about money, it shouldn't be." "I've got my sociable security." "I can still work." "I don't need much." "What you need is a lawyer." "These guys don't say "get an attorney" unless they mean it." "It's you I'm worried about, Selena." "Let's not get off track here." "You're my daughter." "I know that probably feels like something better left alone, but it's true." "You're still my Selena." "You're still my good girl." "I can't help but be worried for you." "My God, your hands." "Scary." "I guess if you want to know somebody's life you look at their hands." "That's what 22 years of Vera Donovan will do to you." "Mrs. Donovan, I promise there won't be any boys." "You're excused, Susan." "But Mrs. Donovan, please!" "I love" "Look on the bright side, dear." "You may not have gotten the job but think what fun you'll have telling your friends what a bitch Vera Donovan is." "Next!" "I've been working since I was 13 years old." "Started by housekeeping in a hotel." "By the time I left there and high school I was cleaning three floors all by myself." "I took care of my father's house after my mother passed on." "I'm married and I have a daughter." "This is a big house, but I'm a big woman, and I think I can do a good job." "I do not pretend to be an easy woman to work for." "Dolores." "This house has a number of rules." "I'm sure you've heard them secondhand." "But I'll tell you in person so we can avoid a teary scene later on." "I like all the windows open every day for at least two hours...." "She did have her ways, did she ever." "I don't know where she got her ideas, but I do know she was a prisoner of them." "The silver has to be checked and cleaned every week." "It may look clean to you, but I like to see my face in it." "The tubs had to be scrubbed out every day with vinegar and baking soda." "Tablecloths, napkins, handkerchiefs everything hand-washed, ironed and starched." "Mildew was grounds for firing." "The sheets." "Now, that was one thing you didn't ever want to get wrong." "You could've cut off her high-flown snobbish nose and she'd still smell a sheet that had hung outside from one baked in the dryer." "Excuse me, Mr. Donovan." "Do you have to do that now?" "Talk to the Missus." "Her husband Jack." "He only came up once all summer." "Most of which he spent ignoring her anyway." "She could've just as easy had the clothesline beside the house." "But not Vera Donovan." "No, ma'am." "She had to have the south wind blowin' through her linens." "And that meant tramping' up and down that hill twice a day when it was fair." "Isn't this glorious, Jack?" "Six pins, Dolores!" "You know that's the way I like it." "Six pins, not five!" "Jack?" "It's 4:30." "Don't you want a cocktail?" "Three square meals of bitchery all summer long but I kept my head down and my mouth shut." "Every week that $40 went in the bank." "There wasn't a damn thing she could say about it." "Thanks a lot." "As much as she crabbed that whole summer I must have done something right." "Come Labor Day...." "I'm sure your winter schedule is rather hectic but I need someone to touch up the house once a week." "Dusting." "Keeping the mice company." "I could do that for you." "$12 a week was what I had in mind." "That'd be fine." "I'll see you next Memorial Day." "That winter, Jack Donovan passed on." "He died in a car crash in Maryland." "I wasn't sure what to expect from Vera." "Gory if she didn't show up in high spirits." "I believe I told you more than once I want the welcome mats with the letters facing out and not in." "Yes, ma'am." "She'd sold her place in Baltimore." "She was moving up permanent." "Get that out of here and put that there." "And take away this disgusting sofa." "It took two days to load in her majesty's palace." "She offered me full time and I took it." "I took it." "I knew what kind of hell it would be." "Hell ain't something you get thrown into overnight." "The real hell comes on you as slow and steady as a line of wet winter sheets." "Snot leaking off your nose." "Your hands so cold and raw you start wishing they'd go numb." "It's only December." "You know by February the skin's gonna be cracked so bad, it'll break open and bleed if you clench a fist." "But you go on to the next and the next and before you know it, those sheets stretch out 20 years." "Nobody made you stay there." " I needed the money." " Not in the beginning, not $40 a week." "That's when I needed it the most." "Not for me, for you." "That's perfect." "So it's my fault." "You think your father cared whether you ever got off this island?" "Here we go." "I put that money every week, I put it away in your account for school." "To get you out of this place, once and for all." "Well, it worked like a charm." "Hello, ladies." "A little morning walk?" "Nope." "Just packing up the speed boat so as I can make my big escape." "Something we can help you with?" "We need a hair sample." "How was that?" "We need a piece of your hair." "We're running some tests." " Are you now?" " Just a strand." "I think we'll take a pass on that." "Look, Dolores right now it's voluntary." "I'd appreciate it, is all." "Bring your scissors, did you?" "I said we'll pass." "I'll have a warrant here this afternoon." "You want it you cut it." "Actually, I need to pull it." "We need the root." "Go on." "Take what you want." "I ain't doing any beauty pageants this week." " Anything else?" " Mother, enough." "We spoke to Sheila Jolander last night." "She said she'd heard you on more than one occasion threaten to kill Vera Donovan." "Is that true?" "If she'd come every day instead of once a week, she'd have heard plenty more." " Get in the house." " Vera, at the end the way she got, it's a wonder I didn't say it every hour." "You go ahead, Mr. Mackey." "You scribble that down in your pad there." "You make a note on that." "As long as you write down that saying a thing and doing it are two separate things." "But then, your wife probably already told you that." "Dolores, that's enough." "My wife Miss Claiborne died 12 years ago of bone cancer." "Natural causes." "Okay, I guess we'll press on here." "Frank." "I want to get into Vera's." "I got things up there I need." "Clothes and my personals." "We can go over tomorrow." "We're shipping out Vera's body this afternoon." "Fine by me." "What the hell did I just see?" "That's the last guy in the world you want to make an enemy out of." "I ain't making one, I'm keeping one." "What is that supposed to mean?" "You're gonna tell me you don't remember him?" "That's all well and good, Miss St. George but you told me that at the time of your father's death you were working as a maid in a hotel at Jonesport." "Yes." "Well Mrs. Devereaux at the hotel." "Remember?" "Mrs. Devereaux said she was surprised to see you." "She said your mom was pretty strict about not letting you spend the night there." "Isn't that true?" "I guess." "So why did she let you stay on that particular weekend?" "Problems at home, perhaps?" "Your mom and dad is that a happy situation?" "Miss St. George?" "The eclipse." "Because of the eclipse, the hotel was full." "So the money...." "They said that we'd make twice as much." "So this was all about money?" "My mom let me stay." "They said that we'd make twice as much." "So your father that was just a coincidence, was it?" "My God, how long are you gonna let this go on?" "The sooner this girl starts telling the truth, the sooner we'll be done here." "If he's out to torture somebody, I'd be happy to get back in the hot seat." "Anybody who's gonna accuse me of killing my husband, go ahead and call me Dolores." "Detective Mackey, you understand, he's just doing his job." "Trying to turn an accident into a murder?" "Making a girl who just lost her father cry her eyes out every night?" "If that's just doing his job then you'd better put him down for overtime." "All right, let's split them up." "Slow down, John." "Five minutes, alone, without her." "Enough, John." "I only need five minutes!" "I said, "Enough."" "So don't be talkin' to me about makin' enemies." "No, sir." "No, ma'am." "That son of a bitch has been waitin' a long time to pick over my bones." "Hand me that ax." "Just look at this window, little piss squirts!" "I ought to call their parents and have them come over and pay for it." "Now I gotta go buy glass and putty and God knows what else." "Could have burned down the whole goddamn house." "I thought the malpractice piece was your most important story." "If you'd left your number I'd have called yesterday." "Yeah, right." "Look." "The radiologist I told you about he got cold feet." "But the intern, Levitt he's a talker." "I thought you were going up there to see your mother?" "It's a small domestic drama up here, Peter." "I can be in Phoenix Tuesday." "It'll be over Monday." "These family things, I've been through it." "They take a lot out of you." "I am telling you, it's not a problem." "We both want me to do this story." "I'm out of here Monday at the latest." "You want a wet dream?" "Wait till I tell you what Levitt said." "Are you there?" "I gave the piece to Maureen." "Look, I'm sorry." "I couldn't wait." "The magazine has to be first on this." "It has nothing to do with you, you know that." "So, I guess you're fucking Maureen now?" "Nice try." "Come on, Selena." "You couldn't tell me to my face, could you?" "Look, I never promised you" "You goddamn pimp." " Careful." " I need this story, Peter." "There are other stories, better stories." "Bullshit." "This was the one." "It's over." "Selena, it doesn't have to be" "I'll do this again." "Shouldn't you be off somewhere analyzing my mother's hair?" "Well, I was thinking how hard it must be for you." "Protecting her like this." "She's a hearty soul, isn't she?" "Might just live another 50 years." "Next eclipse is due in '96." "If she gets away with it this time she might actually have another chance to kill again, before she's through." "Is that something you want on your conscience?" "I had a problem with that myself." "You know, we're probably more alike than you'd care to believe." "We live alone no children." "We have our work." "My cases are my family." "In 30 years, I've handled 86 homicides." "I've closed 85 of them to my satisfaction." "I underestimated your mother." "It won't happen again." "You sent that fax to my office didn't you?" ""For God shall bring every work into judgement..." ""...with every secret thing..." ""...whether it be good or evil."" "You son of a bitch." "Vera Donovan's on my head." "The next one's on yours." "You know, Selena I can't help remembering you were a wonderful cook." "Please." "You were." "I can't even defrost." "You put supper on the table three nights out of five." "I was working." "I'd come back." "You'd have the house clean, your homework done and food on the table." "You're just out of practice, that's all." "You'll find someone to look after." "You'll see." "It'll all come back to you." "Someone to look after." "You must have boyfriends." "Beautiful girl like you, smart and out in the world." "Are you tellin' me there's nobody?" "I'm telling you there's a lot of nobodies." "Friggin' yahoos." "Come on out here, Dolores!" "Friggin' little bastards." "Get off the island, you goddamn murdering bitch!" "Come on down here, you little ass-picking squirts." "Come on!" "Come on, you little chickens!" "Going to jail this time!" "I know who you are." "Chester Lavelier and the rest of you." "Come on down here." "You got something to say to me?" "They're gonna put you in the chair!" "What are you doin'?" "What does it look like I'm doing?" "Selena, you've been drinkin'." "No shit." "I wish you wouldn't." "Look at me." "Look at me." "You see how I am right now?" "What good is that gonna do?" "Because in ten minutes I'm going to be fine." "Just give me ten minutes." "Just give me ten minutes!" "God!" "I saw your father last night." "Did you help your ma kill your dad?" "Who is this?" "You fat, ugly cow!" "You know when I find out who this is, I'll hang your privates from Battiscan Light!" "Selena, stop that!" "Honey, it's gonna be all right." "It won't." " My God!" " Get away!" "It was a bad patch." "You had a bad patch, and now you're feeling it all over again." "Bad patch?" "I had a fucking nervous breakdown, Mother." "Don't say words like that." "It was a hard time." "You got through it." "Oh, what am I doing?" "You just needed a rest, that's all." "You snapped out of it just fine." "You can't have one of those things and get a full scholarship to Vassar College." "It was just a bad patch." "I must have been out of my mind to come back here." "Here!" "Over here!" "What did you do to him?" "Nothing, baby." "I promise." "Fuck!" "Goddamn it!" "Selena, let me take these from you here." "Dolores, I'll take you upstairs." "I'm gonna ask you to step very carefully on the way up." "Still taking blood samples here." "If you feel more comfortable, Miss Claiborne you can always use the back stairs." "John, is it all right if we go upstairs and get her things?" "Go on." "I'm sorry." "He got a search warrant, so I had to go through it for evidence." "Yep." "It's pretty routine." "Okay, let's get this over with." "So...." "You can pack up and take anything that's not bagged or tagged." "I know that doesn't leave much." "Sorry, Dolores." "I'll give you a hand here." "Dolores, is that it then?" "No." "I got something in Vera's room." "This room's off limits." "I'm still going through things here." "Miss Claiborne." "What's this then?" "It's my scrapbook." "It's Selena's articles." "I'd read them to Vera." "Almost got away with it, didn't she?" "I read that." "That's good stuff." "You really got him to open up there." "Scholarship." "Vassar." "Very impressive." "Jeezly crow." "Couldn't you even clean up after her?" " What kind of people are you?" " You put that back!" "You're gonna tell me this is evidence?" " That's exactly what I'm telling you." " Dolores, you put that down." "Goddamn it!" "I'm tryin' to do you a favor here and that's the way you act?" "I ain't leaving' here without my scrapbook." "Sorry, John." "I'll see you a day after tomorrow, 9:00 a.m. at the town hall." "Don't put your fur up, Frank." "I'll be there." "I have a feeling we could wrap this up right now." "It's not gonna be like last time." "Is that so?" "Let's just go." "Okay?" "Now you listen to me, Mister Grand High Poobah of Upper Butt Crack." "I'm just about half past give a shit with your fun and games." "My husband's death was ruled an accident and you know it better than anyone." "Death by misadventure, to be exact." "Ask around." "I'm sure there's people who'd tell you I had plenty of reasons to kill Joe." "But Vera, why the hell would I kill her?" "All I am is out of a job a nice room to sleep in." "You don't need a job, do you?" "Motive?" "I'd say one million six hundred thousand dollars is quite a motive." "What?" "Your mother's a wealthy woman, Selena." "What the hell are you talkin' about?" "I spoke to Vera's lawyer in Baltimore last night." "John." " She left you everything." " But, John" "Every last cent." "She can't do that." "You're lyin'." "You're a millionaire, Miss Claiborne." "Wait a minute." " This isn't the place to be bringing" " Back off." "He's crazy." "That's plain crazy." "She'd never do that." "Did she keep it a secret from you, too, Selena?" "Or maybe you knew about it." "Because this will...." "I mean, hell it's only eight years old." "Frank!" "You want to wait for the District Attorney Monday morning?" "Or should we take care of this now?" "Get in the car, Mother." "Get in the goddamn car!" "You had no idea she left you the money?" "I swear it." "Over a million dollars." "That bitch." "The malicious, high-flown, harpin' bitch!" "Cut the bullshit!" "You can afford a lawyer now." "Car trouble?" "We're quite fine, thank you." "I wish I had killed her." "Leavin' me that money." "I wish I had!" "I wish I had killed her!" "What happened in that house?" "Dolores." "Hell's bells." "Look who's up." "I'm wet." "What else is new?" "How long this time?" "Since you last made sense?" "About two days, I guess." "Just leave me wet, don't you?" "When I'm not thinking straight enough to keep on you." "That's what you do isn't it?" "Yeah, it's a regular party around here when you're snoozing'." "Where's my china pig?" "There's only 200 of them around." "Which one you want?" "Are you being smart?" "No, Vera." "If I'd been smart, I'd have done workin' for you a long time ago." "Let's see what you got left." "Goddamn it!" "Are you gonna sit here and marinade in it?" "Come on." "You're gonna get on this fanny pan one way or another." "Come on." "There we go." "Your chariot awaits, Your Highness." "Now hold on with your good arm." "Hold on this time." "Push with your good leg." "I don't know why you make me do this." "I hate this nightgown." "Your days of silk and satin are over, Vera." "From now on it's wash 'n' wear." "You're poisoning me aren't you, Dolores?" "Slow but sure." "That's what you're doing." "No, ma'am." "When I get ready to settle your hash, I won't bother with poison." "I'll just shove you out the window." "There'll be one less smelly bitch in the world." "Don't we have a hair across our ass today." "Dolores Claiborne." "I want my china pig!" "Get off your royal duff and go over there and get it." "We both know you can do it." "Do you good." "You need the exercise." "What I need is someone who'll do as they're told!" "Don't go too far, Vera." "I'll go as far as I damn well want!" "Yes." "I will!" "If this is what's going to pass as living I'll damn well say what I want!" ""Oh, this little piggy had champagne." ""This little piggy ate beans."" "I'll fix you some tea." "You'll feel better." "No!" "I won't." "I won't feel better." "I never will." "I'll never feel better again." "Oh, my God." "What the hell are you doing?" "Get out of my way, Dolores." "Where do you think you're going?" "What in God's name has gotten into you?" "Let go of me, Dolores!" "Leave me go!" "Oh, my God." "Don't try to talk." "I'm going to go call the doctor." "No doctor." "No hospital." "You're gonna be all right, Vera." "You just lie still, don't move." "You're gonna be fine." "Dolores Claiborne says I'm gonna be fine." "What a relief it is to have a professional opinion." "Why?" "Why'd you do this, Vera?" " Why?" " Because I hate the smell of being old." "I'm tired and I want to be done." "Will you help me, Dolores?" "Will you please help me die?" "Don't let me die in some hospital." "Kill me now." "If you really want to help me please hurry." "Dolores, got a certified letter here." "You don't believe me, do you?" "You think I killed her." "What I think doesn't mean shit." "It's the rest of the world you better start worrying about." "I made a list of attorneys." "These are all the big muscle firms in New York." "Now, it could take a couple of days, that's why on Monday you're not gonna say a word." "Take it." "In case you missed it, I'm trying to help you." "You think I give a fiddler's fuck what anybody else says about me?" "Oh, Jesus." "It's you." "What you think is the only thing left that's important." "I can't send you to prison." "You think that's the end of the world?" "Gory, that'd be a relief." "Sit and sleep three meals served every day." "Maybe you're just happier being miserable." "Is that it?" "Is that it, Mother?" "If it makes it easier for you." "Vera's a bitch." "She's abusive, she's mean, she's cheap." "Why not leave?" "Why not just walk?" "Like they do in New York?" "Someone hurts me I leave." "Believe me, I learned that a long time before I got to New York." "I'm not the one that hurt you." "What is that supposed to mean?" "You're blaming him?" "Is that what we're into now?" "He was a drunk." "Barely got out of his own way." "Fine maybe he hit you." "I don't remember it." "You don't seem to remember much of anything." "But then, he's not exactly around to defend himself, is he?" "You honest to God don't remember, do you?" "Look." "Here's the goddamn list." "You do what you want with it." "That's why you're so unsettled, ain't it?" "Unsettled?" "Don't you mean "boogery," Mother?" "If you're attempting some sort of meaningful analysis perhaps we'd best define our terms." "It's a cornerstone of critical thinking..." "Go have another drink." "No, I've had my fun for the night." "You sit down right this minute and you can just stow that Vassar shit." "We're gonna sit down at this table, you and me and we're gonna have us a drink." "When we're through...." "When I'm through you can run upstairs and take whichever of those little pills makes you feel the best." "Don't say a goddamn word." "Before you get too deep in that to make sense take a look at her report card." "I saw it." "So what?" "Everybody slips now and then." "Can I be excused?" "Not till you tell me how an honor roll student who skips the whole seventh grade goes from straight A's to C's and D's in two semesters." "Will you leave her alone already?" "It's not like you were some great genius at school." "No, Claiborne wasn't even born in a hospital, for Christ's sake." "May I please be excused?" "No, you may not." "Yes, you may." "Go right ahead, dear." "Thanks a lot." "You better learn to stow it." "You'll drive her right out the door." "Mom, what are you doing here?" "Thought you and I might ride back on the ferry together." "You mind company?" "Beautiful, ain't it?" "You used to be beautiful too." "Why ain't you anymore?" "When was the last time you washed your hair?" "It's drugs, ain't it?" "You've changed." "You're 13 years old, you're smoking pot." "Where do you get it from?" "How long's it been going on?" "I don't do drugs, Mother." "Whatever trouble you're in won't change my love for you." "I can't begin to help you out of it till you tell me the truth." "Are you pregnant?" "Get real." "You want to end up like me?" "Dumb and stuck?" "Think I push you so hard in school to stay in a uniform and clean up after people your whole life?" "Is that what you want?" "I'm not pregnant." "Then...." "What is it?" "What the hell's going on with you?" " Leave me alone." " I'm not gonna leave you alone." "We'll ride the ferry back and forth all day till you tell me what's wrong." "Leave me be!" " Why won't you talk to me?" " Don't touch me!" "What?" "Stop it!" "I got you." "Get off of me!" "What is the matter with you?" "Talk to me!" "Where did you get this?" "What're you doin'?" "This is your grandma St. George's cameo." " It's mine." " What did you do?" "Did you go in your father's closet?" "Oh, Mom, please...." " Selena, did you steal this?" " Let go and give it." "It's mine." "Oh, my God." "As you can see, Mrs. St. George this account's been closed out by your husband." "How can that be?" "That's my life savings." "How can that be when I got the passbook right here?" "You see, Mrs. St. George, that is was what we call a custodial savings account." "That means either parent can countersign and make a withdrawal." "This doesn't show any withdrawals." "How'd he get the money without the goddamn passbook?" "Mrs. St. George if I could ask you to keep your voice down." "According to this, your husband stated, "Passbook was lost."" "He asked to be issued a new one." "It's common enough." "Common be damned." "I opened this account!" "Who the hell do you think put the money in the bank to begin with?" "Please, Mrs. St. George." "I'm sorry, but I assure you that what we did was not only legal but standard bank practice." "Maybe it's legal and maybe it ain't." "I can't believe standard bank practice means you don't make one single goddamn phone call to the person whose name and number is on this account." "I'm very sorry" "You say you're sorry once again, I'll kick your butt till you look like a hunchback." "Lydia." "It's 'cause I'm a woman, ain't it?" "If I'd been the one passing off a fairy story how I'd lost the passbook and asked for a new one...." "If I'd been the one who started drawing out what took 11 years to put in you would have called Joe." "Well...." "I suppose it's one of two things." "Either he's buried it in a mason jar in the backyard, or else he opened up a new account." "Mr. Pease...." "I know you don't have to tell me, but I'm hoping you'll think for a moment about the grief and heartache you could have saved me by making just one call." "I'm asking you to please tell me whether he's opened a new account here or if I've gotta start digging holes around my house." "As soon as the luncheon silver is clean, I want the guest rooms aired out." "I'll want to go over the linens for the daybeds in the study and the sun room." "No, Joy, I don't like those colors together." "Change them." "Dolores, did you check on the flowers?" "Must you look so trod-upon, Dolores?" "In 36 hours you will have the uniquely thrilling experience of standing at the epicenter of a total solar eclipse." "I've got guests traveling 800 miles for something all you need to do is look...." "Did you see Dolores?" "As soon as the caterers arrive, I want you to make sure they have everything needed." "I've made a list." "I want no last-minute frantic runs to Jonesport." "Do you hear me?" "Would you put on some tea?" " Are we quite finished?" " I'm sorry, Mrs. Donovan." "I truly am." ""Vera."" "I insist that all women who have hysterics in my drawing room call me by my Christian name." "So, enlighten me, Dolores." "What turns a stone-hard woman like you into the blubbering mess I see before me?" "Joe stole my money." "I went to close out my account...." "It was money I'd been saving for Selena." "Three thousand dollars." "I went to get it out and it was gone." "Well, don't look to me, Dolores." "All my money's tied up in cash." "Planning on playing the stock market, were you?" "I was going to leave." "I was going to take Selena away with me tonight before he gets back." "Well...." "Isn't that dramatic." "And why, exactly, are we running away?" "Well, go on, Dolores." "Perhaps it's not as bad as it seems." "Give it to me." "It's mine!" "Oh, my God." "It's your father, ain't it?" "He's been at you, hasn't he?" "What are you talking about?" " What's he done to you?" " Nothing!" " He's been touching' you, hasn't he?" " No!" "What's he done to you?" "You've gotta tell me the truth." "It's important." "Leave me alone!" "You bitch!" "You crazy old lying bitch!" "You're a fucking psychotic." " You think I'd make up something like this?" " This actually comes to you?" " How can you not remember?" " I remember you hitting him!" "That I remember." "I remember the blood on his face, the drinking, the fighting, but this?" " You're not responsible." " Mackey's right." "You are dangerous." " Fuck you!" " You gotta believe me." "No, I don't." "Don't try and stop me." "I'm going to the hotel." "Mrs. Devereaux needs extra help for the eclipse." " I'll be back in a few days." " We talked about this." "I don't care what we talked about." "I don't want to be here when you talk to Dad about your crazy ideas." "Come back here right now!" "Just leave me alone!" "For 12 hours sleep, you don't look so good." "I need to be in Arizona." "It's a big story and I need it." "I know." "I packed your things." "You had stuff lying' around." "Coffee's on the stove." "What is it?" "It's Detective Mackey's report." "Here." "I don't want it." "How remarkably brave, Mother." "I'll make some calls." "You'll have your phone turned on tomorrow." "I'll take the report." "I'm gonna fax it to a lawyer." "You can expect a call tomorrow." "And when you talk to that lawyer, Mother you damn well better do what he says." "You'll miss your ferry." "You want to hang yourself?" "Go into that inquest tomorrow and start shooting your mouth off." "I'm sorry, Mother." ""Sometimes being a bitch is the only thing a woman has to hold onto."" "Shit!" "I hope I'm doing this right, 'cause I never worked one of these before." "Don't these Japanese make the cunningest little gadgets?" "You're sleeping now, Selena but I know when you get up, you're gonna leave." "By the time you hear this, I figure you're in Arizona." "By now it's all been said and done." "You can forget about the lawyer." "I'm gonna go down tomorrow and talk to those people and I ain't makin' a stink about it no more." "I'm telling you now what I'm gonna tell them." "I just thought you ought to hear it firsthand, is all." "How far has he gone, Dolores?" "She says it ain't never happened." "And she screamed and cried and denied it so bad, I know it's true." "I should've...." "The way she's been acting around him, I should've known it sooner." "My God." "How far has he gone?" "He wasn't always like this." "When we started out it wasn't a dream come true" "Has he fucked her?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "But if he hasn't, he's gonna soon enough." "He's working the boats." "He'll be back tomorrow." "That money...." "I was gonna use that $3,000 to get us as far away from here as possible." "And how far is that, Dolores?" "Jonesport?" "Bangor?" "You've never been more than 50 miles away from this island in your life." "How long do you think it would take him to find you?" "It's a depressingly masculine world we live in, Dolores." "Maybe I'm wrong." "What if you're right?" "Husbands die every day, Dolores." "Why one is probably dying right now, while you're sittin' here weeping." "They die and leave their wives their money." "I should know, shouldn't I?" "Sometimes they're driving home from their mistress's apartment and their brakes suddenly fail." "An accident, Dolores can be an unhappy woman's best friend." "Don't you just love the bossa nova?" "I found them in New York." "I just had to have them." "Hi, how are you?" "There's a buzzer going off in the kitchen." "You'd better check it." "I'm sorry, Mrs. Donovan." "We're going as fast as we can." "Oh, please." "Everything's charming." "I heard on the radio they're callin' for rain." "Oh, don't worry." "I'll have my eclipse." "I'm sending you home, Dolores." "You've done a wonderful job and it's all under control." "I want you to go and share this remarkable experience with your husband." "He will be back, won't he?" "I suppose so." "I've got you two eclipse viewers and two reflector boxes." "I thought you and Joe might like them." "I can't." "Sometimes, Dolores sometimes you have to be a high-riding bitch to survive." "Sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has to hang onto." "Thank you, Vera." "Now, go on home." "Pam and Sheila can clean up." "Remember eclipse at 5:00." "I wouldn't miss this for the world." "I got some binoculars." "I'm going to find myself a good spot." "Come on!" "You sorry piece of shit." "What the hell are you doing back?" "Got the afternoon off." "Welcome home to you too." "Don't start with me, Dolores." "Where's Selena?" "She's working at the hotel." "Looks like you bought out the whole store." "What's all this?" "A present to celebrate the eclipse." "Eclipse, shit." "I've been feeling so good lately, I thought I'd share some of my happiness." "What do you got to feel happy about?" "Well, Jesus Christ." "You don't want it?" "I can always pour it down the sink." "Vera sent us some thingamajigs to watch the eclipse." "Yeah, like I give a shit." "I don't want to fight with you." "Let's just try and enjoy the day." "That won't be hard." "That crowd." "Looks like D-Day." "Look at them." "The whole goddamn island's out there." "I hope it rains." "Hope it comes down so hard it drowns them all." "What the hell has gotten into you?" "Ain't nothing gonna happen any more than a thunderhead going across the sun." "Eat up, Joe, before the flies beat you to it." "Okay, here we go." "Hey, Dee!" "Isn't this what all of you and all the rest of them fools been waiting for?" "Better get your butt out here." "Goddamn." "She's disappearing, all right." "I got another surprise for you." "Did somebody invent a pill that'll cure ugly?" "You know the money in Selena's bank account?" "Yeah, well, what about it?" "You took it." "Don't you look sour." " I guess it is pretty funny, ain't it?" " Yeah." "I fooled you right and proper, didn't I?" "You fooled me about a lot of things, Joe but I guess I finally caught up with you." "You already spent $500 of it." "What'd it go for, Joe?" "Poker?" "Beer?" "There you go, selling me short." "It was set aside for school." "You blew all our money, you might as well run through hers, while you're at it." "Ah, school, shit." "You can't even wipe your ass for three grand these days." "I spent the day with the people at the bank." "It turns out you weren't supposed to do that." "Lie to them." "Make them break their rules." "What did you go and do?" "I got all that money given right back to me in cash." "All but the $500 you pissed away." "So you can just go and fuck yourself." "That is if you can get that limp old noodle of yours to stand up." "I told you what would happen if you wouldn't leave off being fresh with me!" "Didn't I?" "You believe me now, do you?" "Yes." "Yes, Joe!" "Oh, my God." "Look at that." "A star." "A star." "You'll see plenty of them if you don't start tellin' me where that money is." "Right now!" "I buried it in the yard." "Out by the field." "Let's just go get it back where it belongs, why don't we?" "Believe you me, there better be every last cent of it." "You'd better save the big talk for your pals at the barber shop!" "I wonder if they're gonna think you're such a stud when they find out the only ass you can get your hands on belongs to your 13-year-old daughter!" " I don't know what you're talking about." " Really?" "Then how come you look like the devil just grabbed them little raisins you call balls?" "She's a liar." "She's a little liar." "And a goddamn tease." "How could you do it, Joe?" "After everything I did for her she's mouthing off like that, telling lies like...." "When she gets back I'm gonna get my belt." "I'm gonna get my belt." "The only thing you're gonna get is a long stretch in Shawshank Prison for child molesting!" "Goddamn bitch!" "The more you run, the worse it's gonna be." "Get off me!" "You're gonna get your payback now, bitch." "And it's gonna cost you more than money!" "You're mine now!" "Give me your hand before I fall all the way in, please!" "Help me before I fall all the way in, goddamn it!" "You don't know what you're doing." "Where are you going?" "Oh, God, what're you doing?" "Dee, come on!" "Where are you going?" "What are you doing?" "Please!" "You bitch!" "I swear, you're gonna die." "Help, somebody!" "Somebody help me, please." "Help!" "Help, somebody!" " Oh, goddamn it!" " Nobody can hear you." "You bitch!" "Oh, you just better hope I don't get out." "The eclipse lasted six and a half minutes." "They said it was some kind of record." "It was a hell of a lot more than a thunderhead passing across the sun." "It was beautiful." "I burned the dress and I dropped the whiskey bottle out near the well." "I started askin' folks if they'd seen Joe off on a bender somewhere." "Other than Detective Mackey showing up and making trouble it was easier than I thought." "That's what happened plain and true." "And I don't care no more who knows it." "I guess all I do care about all I ever cared about is that you're safe and sound." "I lied to you." "And I lied to myself." "Now it's time to pay the piper." "There we go." "One coffee, $1." "Out of five." "Okay, one coffee, one hot cocoa, that'll be 60 cents." "McCrea, it ain't worth half that." "There you go." "You look cold enough to climb inside a clam shell." "Here, this'll warm you up." "What's the matter, you don't want it?" "It's hot chocolate just for you." "Come on, let's take the top off." "You got that little thing I give you?" "Let's have a look at it." "You know, this is very special, Selena." "My mother got it from her mother." "You know, I'm not gonna give it just to anybody." "It's very special for you, okay, sweetheart?" "Here." "Take that." "It's a very special thing for you." "Your hands cold?" "I'm okay." " Here, give me your hands." " I'm fine." "Nobody's gonna see us, sweetheart." "Here." "Come on." "Give me your hands." "My cocoa will spill." "Oh, gosh." "I'll buy you another one." " Come on, let me dry your hands." " All right." "Oh, gosh." "Your hand's cold." "I can't." "I can't." "No, Daddy, please." "Come on, now." "You know how to do it." "I showed you." "Remember how I showed you?" "Nobody's gonna see us." "Come on, baby." "You remember?" "You remember how I showed you?" "Please." "Come on." "Come on, that's it." "Oh, that's it." "You're my good girl." "I love you, Selena." "You're my good girl." "You want your change or what?" "No." "You keep it." "I was gonna kill her, Your Honor." "She tried to do it herself but she was still alive." "She begged me to finish what she started." "I didn't know if I could do it or not." "By the time I got back from the kitchen she was dead." "Just your good luck, I guess." "They tell me you've waived your right to council." "Yes, sir." "I can tell you, I've married people who've brought lawyers with them." "Let's just get this over with." "Before I sign Detective Mackey's report there are a few things I'd like him to clarify for me." "Miss Claiborne I have several witnesses who say they were present when you threatened the life of Vera Donovan." "Now that's true, is it not?" "Why don't you just go ahead and ask me what you really want to know?" "In due time, Miss Claiborne." "In due time." " Is it true you made those threats?" " Of course, it's true." "She told you herself on Saturday." "I'm sorry." "This is a closed hearing." "The woman sitting over there, the one without a lawyer, that's my mother." "This isn't a trial." "I have every right to be here with her." "Selena St. George." "Don't stop." "Let's just wrap this up and get back to the mainland." "This report is incomplete." "Maybe before you sign off on this" "We're in the middle of a questioning here, Miss St. George." "My mother did not kill Vera Donovan." "That's funny." "I've got 30 pages here that says she did." "This thing is totally circumstantial." "I've covered enough courtrooms to know he's got no hard evidence here." "Circumstantial?" "Samuel Marchant, page 6!" "Why don't you tell him what's not in the report?" "You've had the whole weekend to get yourself a lawyer." "What is it that's not in the report?" "These two women loved each other." "Oh, really?" "Now that's something we'd like to hear." "That's something we definitely missed in our investigation isn't it, Frank?" "Why don't you tell us about this great mutual affection?" "Your personal observations." "How'd they get along when you'd visit?" "Christmas, birthdays, holidays whenever you could tear yourself away from your judicial reportage." "Why don't you tell us, Miss St. George?" "When was your last visit?" "Miss?" "Fifteen years ago." "You must have some memory." "These women were together for 22 years." "My mother spent the last 10 years caring for Vera 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for $80 a week." "Maybe you oughta quit while you're ahead." "He says they hated each other." "I want to know if you hated each other so much why you stayed together?" "There were other jobs better jobs." "Why go through 20 years of hell?" " Why, Mother?" " Please, Miss." "This is embarrassing." "You're supposed to be a professional, aren't you?" "We know I never visited." "Who did?" "In the past few years, who else has been in that house?" "Doc Collin came once a month." "Let's not forget Sammy Marchant." "Nobody else gave a damn whether they lived or died." "All they had was each other." "That's why you stayed together." "I mean, really, is that what you do when you hate someone?" "You trade off your life for what is it, 20 cents an hour just to keep them going?" "Please, all this is very touching." "But $1,600,000 is a little more than 20 cents an hour." "My mother never knew about the will." "Come on, Miss St. George." "The will is eight years old." "You were there, Frank." "You were there when Detective Mackey told her about the will." "Do you think she knew about it?" "The constable's not on trial." "Neither is my mother." "Constable?" "She seemed pretty surprised, I guess to me." "That's how I saw it." "You want us to believe that they were best friends and alone for eight years and they never even talked about it?" "I think people can keep secrets a lot longer than eight years." "A $1,600,000 secret?" "Come on!" "Did you know about the will, Miss Claiborne?" "No, sir." "Vera made it pretty clear she was plannin' on takin' it all with her when she went." "I figured when she'd passed on there'd be some laundry to do and a fare-thee-well." "Isn't that convenient?" "You don't believe her?" "Then I tell you what, Detective." "We may be in the presence of a truly gifted criminal mind." "For eight years she's a heartbeat away from being the richest woman on the island." "So what does she do?" "Does she wait one year and let Vera drown in the tub?" "Spend three years starving her?" "You're only digging yourself in deeper." "Smother her in her sleep?" "Drug her?" "My mother's plan is far more brilliant than that." "She waits through eight years of bed pans, sponge baths, diapers and bed sores." "She waits eight years until Vera's already got one foot in the grave." "And then what does she do?" " We know what she did." " That's your theory, isn't it?" "She waited eight years to throw her down the front stairs." "Yes." "To make it look like an accident." "An accident?" "She ransacked the kitchen for a rolling pin." "Calm down!" "How is beating Vera to death going to look like an accident?" "She panicked, just as you're doing now." "Sammy Marchant brought the mail every day at noon." " Why not wait till midnight?" " She panicked." " She knew she had to finish" " How do you know what she knew?" "Fourteen years' experience." " You've never been wrong." " Not when it counted." " That's right, you're 85 for 86, aren't you?" " Yes, I am." " One case away from a perfect record." " This report is the truth." "Truth?" "Bullshit!" "Why don't you tell him why we're really here?" "Go on." "Tell him." "Because she's done it before." "Wait a minute." "Is there some prior felony here, John?" "No, there's not." "They wouldn't indict her." "Eighteen years ago my father drank some scotch and fell down a well." "Detective Mackey didn't think it was an accident, which is why we're here today." "What do you think, Selena?" "I think that I owe you an apology." "I called you a son of a bitch." "You said you thought we were a lot alike." "And you were right." "We've both spent the past 18 years prosecuting this woman." "We came out here I know I did believing she was guilty." "We forgot this case is about Vera Donovan not my father." "And what if it wasn't an accident?" "Look it's been 18 years." "I don't know what this has done to you but let me tell you, it's consumed me." "I have lived with this every day of my life." "Every day." "But it was wrong and I won't do it anymore." "And if I can say that, my God can't you?" "She didn't kill Vera Donovan." "You've been out here all weekend looking for a smoking gun." "There isn't one." "All you've got is a 30-page description of a suicide." "I'm asking you as an honorable man with all of your experience all that you've seen would we be here right now if this was anyone other than Dolores Claiborne?" "This report's the truth!" "I'd like you to know that if you go to trial with this, you'll fail again." "You'd better ask yourself how you want to finish your career." "I've got a long list of New York lawyers who'd just love to take you and this case apart in front of a jury." "Mother...." "Come on, let's go." "They can't hurt you anymore." "John?" "This is your ball game." "I'm gonna leave this up to you." "Come on." "It's time." "Even when it's warm here, it's cold." "It won't be like that in Arizona." "There is no Arizona." "I don't have to go." "It was a lie." "My editor the story, the book it's all over." "Do I still have to worry about you?" "I don't know how to feel about what you did." "Maybe I never will." "But I know you did it for me." "I don't want to lose you again." "Go on." "You're not gonna lose me." "You go on."

"We didn't ask for a hospitality host." "Then, may I ask what you're doing in the bushes?" "Pruning?" "[Students snickering]" "Among my many degrees is one in law." "And I know that sitting in the bushes outside a Las Vegas hotel... does not constitute a crime." "You have maps of the Las Vegas metropolitan power grid, the sewer system... and computers with sophisticated code-breaking software." "Not to mention that you were tapping into our main data system." "I'm sure the Department of Homeland Security... would be interested in having a chitchat with you fellows." "That's it." "I want an attorney." "That would be good." "That would be real good." "Because the second you ask for an attorney, the cops have to stop questioning you." "DANNY:" "Thing is, I'm not a cop... which means I can turn you directly over to the Department of Justice... who, under the Patriot Act, can hold you for up to six months... before you can even smell an attorney." "Guantanamo, here you come." "[Autodial dialling]" " I think maybe we should talk." " That'd be smart." "That'd be really smart." "So, what's the deal, fellows?"

"Goat Man took me on my first trek when I was 11." "Not long after that, he taught me how to do bong hits." "It doesn't matter where we go on these treks." "We just wander." "Goat Man says it's the journey that counts." "Which I know is cliché." "In a few days, I leave for the prep school my father went to." "Goat Man's calling this my "farewell trek."" "He says I should soak up as much of the Sonoran sun as I can." "But he's the one doing most of the soaking." "You won't have all this at Gates Academy." "Naked men shouldn't squat." "Do you ever worry about your parents?" "Did you ever?" "No." "Not really." "Wendy will be fine." "I'll watch her." "Goat Man once told me that in certain Native American tribes, an elder leads a young man out into the wilderness to fend for himself until he has a vision." "She never lets me milk her." "In one tribe, if no vision comes they'll chop off a fingertip and sacrifice it to the Great Spirit." "Thanks." "Goat Man says I'm not quite ready for this rite of passage." "Sorry I messed up the trek, Goat Man." "It's not your fault." "I should have never let you come out here with brand new boots." "I should have oiled them and let you walk around in them for a couple days before coming out here." "Goat Man was my parents' friend first." "My mother claims she can't remember how they met, but Goat Man told me he used to sell them peyote." "At one point Goat Man was broke, so in exchange for cleaning the pool and taking care of the landscaping, they let him live in our pool house." "When I was a baby, my father left and Goat Man stayed." "My mom hasn't paid a bill in her entire life." "Yet somehow she always knows how much money she has in her trust fund." "Ten more minutes." "I'm going away to school, Frieda." "I need you to listen to Goat Man while I'm gone." "This is my neighbor Aubrey." "She's hot, yes, but at the risk of sounding like a misogynist..." "I see you, Ellis!" "What, are you jacking off back there?" "...she's sort of a rancid bitch." "No, Frieda just stopped to eat." " That's a goat." " You're so dead!" "Pervert!" "Ignore the pain." "Luckily, her meatheaded boyfriend was barefoot." "Messed up feet and a big cut on your forehead." "Not a very good send off." "Thanks, Goat Man." "Are you packed yet?" "Yeah, I finished this morning." "I prepared a bag of buds for you." "That shit'll cream your spinach." "Ever heard of security checks?" "I'll mail it to you." "My roommate better be cool." "He could have the best weed on the East Coast." "Probably a Facebook addict with halitosis." "My boy's leaving me tomorrow." "Leaving me for the big bad world of Gates Academy." "Ellis, your feet are all red!" "From my new hiking boots." "Figures Fucker Frank would send you third-rate hiking boots." " Tightwad." " Those are, like, $300 boots from Italy." "I wish I had a pair." "That's not good parenting." "He should try calling you once in a while, at least pretend to care." "I ordered you 14 Oxford shirts." "You'll barely ever have to do laundry." " Okay?" " Thanks." "Not to mention everything else that I bought you." "I appreciate it." "You don't have to leave, you know." "You can still change your mind." "You act like I'm going off to war." "You don't get it, do you?" "You don't get it." " I'm sad." " You still have me." "Jav!" "I paid 700 extra to the electric company, so you won't have to worry about that for another three months." "All the other bills are paid, and I renewed the insurance on the Volvo." "You don't even know how much I'm going to miss you." "You don't know." "You don't know." "You don't know." "I'm gonna miss you, too." "A lot." "Mom." "My flight's in two hours." "The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers..." "You don't have to wait." "My flight's not, like, for another hour." " You sure?" " Yeah." "Go on." "The goats are roasting in there." "I'll be fine." "You take care of Wendy, all right?" " I'll call you once I get there..." " Don't worry." "Many rivers to cross, partner." "Bye, guys." "Be good." " I think Frieda ate a map." " Bullshit." "Frieda!" "Damn it." "Wendy has referred to my father as "Fucker Frank"" "for as long as I can remember." "So you can imagine her reaction when I told her" "I had secretly applied and was accepted here, the same prep school he went to." "So I heard this story about this guy who went to Berkeley, and every night when he would go to sleep, he would wake up and his ass would be sore." "So after three months of this, 'cause it got really bad, he decided to go to the doctor and try to find out what's going on." "And the doctor said, "Well, have you been having any anal sex lately?" ""Because that's what it looks like your ass has been doing."" "And the guy's like, "No, no." "I'm straight." "Why would I be doing that?"" "So the guy calls the cops to see if they can maybe figure out what's going on, and it turns out that his roommate was knocking him out with colorform every single night and butt fucking him." "Crazy, right?" "Can I hang this on the door?" "You must be Barney Cannel." "Yes, sir." "I was hoping Wilt Chamberlain there was Barney Cannel." "How tall are you, son?" "I was 5'10" last time I checked." " I'm out of shape, though." " Get in shape." "Run for us." "I don't think I'd be any good." "Come on, don't tell me you're not going to play any sports." "I haven't really thought about it." "Well, think about it." "Dough boy, we practice every day from 3:00 to 4:00." "You miss two, you're off the team." "Yes, sir." "Where are you going to go to college?" "My brother Todd, he goes to Yale." "That's where I'm going." "Yale." " Are you serious?" " Is that guy homeless?" "No." "He's a botanist." "And a goat trekker." "Is he your dad?" "No." "You're only supposed to be buttoned up for the convocation, moron." "Welcome to Gates, boys." "Hi, I'm Barney Cannel, Todd Cannel's younger brother." "Right." "Todd told me to tell you that he very much enjoys Yale." "Thank you." " And you're Ellis Whitman?" " Yes, sir." "Dr. Eldridge." "We're happy to have you at Gates." "Your father Frank and I were roommates, you know, and I was lucky enough to run with him senior year." "My father ran for student government?" "He was class president, but I meant cross-country." "We were on the cross-country team together." "How is he?" "He's fine, I guess." "You look like him, you know." "Tell him to give me a phone call, will you?" " Yeah, sure." " See you, boys." "Hey, I didn't know Eldridge and your dad boned." "It's been 23 days and four hours since I last got high." "The one kid I thought was a stoner here turned out to just be a slob." "There's no good Mexican food in a 200-mile radius." "Goat Man's been incommunicado." "And when my classless, Teletubby of a roommate isn't whining about his grades, he's copying my homework." "Sorry." "I shouldn't even be here." "Our secret." "You know that one girl who works in the dining hall?" "The one who Rosenberg says is a prostitute?" "That trashy townie chick?" "She's always sneaking in the library and using our shit." "Todd told me she is a prostitute." "She'll do juniors and seniors for, like, 50 bucks." "Your brother's full of shit." "At least he's not a drug addict who hangs out with goats all day." "Pot's not addictive." "Todd writes me and sends me letters." "Mr. Goat hasn't sent you shit." "His name's Goat Man, asshole." "Whitman." "Come here." "I thought we weren't supposed to talk to each other out here." "Only if you're going to go jerk off." "Rosenberg's from Maui." "He's one of three Jews on the island." "He can't seem to get better than a C in any of his classes, but he's smart enough to get his weed through airport security." "Man, I knew you were a stoner." " How?" " I saw your High Times calendar and Barney said you smoke up with your gardener." "He's not my gardener." "He's..." "Mr. Rosenberg." "Mr. Cannel's roommate." "Enjoying a little cannabis, I see and smell." "Just me, sir." "Rosenberg didn't have any." "He was actually trying to convince me to..." "I'll deal with you later." "I need a moment alone to talk to the tall one." "Keep it moving." "Well." "Looks like you'll be enjoying cross-country after all." "We practice at 3:00 tomorrow." "Pick it up, fellas." "Pick it up!" "I have bowels that run faster than you, let's move!" "Come on, Quadzilla, pick it up." "I can't." "You can't or you won't?" "You weren't joking." "You really are out of shape?" "I have blisters." "Did those blisters stop you from hiking into the woods to smoke weed with Rosenberg?" "Move it, move it, move it!" "Five more hills, let's go!" "Hounds misses Sharky." "Let go." "Her teeth!" "Here comes Mrs. Sharky!" "Let go!" "That one scares me a little bit." "Who are you?" "I'm Bennet, Wendy's lover." "Boy, oh, boy." "Oh, yeah." "Must be nice, Javier, living here." "Rent-free, just cleaning the pool." "Taking care of the landscaping." "No worries." "It is nice." "That's your name, isn't it?" "Javier?" "Sure." "That's so funny, you don't look like a Javier." "Right, Wendy told me about your goat treks." "Where do you go?" " I wander." " Where?" "I can't be specific." "Why not?" "It's my job." "What do you do?" "I'm an artist." "Do you get high?" "I've moved beyond that." "Sadness." "Hey!" "Quit it, Lance!" "It's about time." "What's up?" "I got a package to mail." "Hey, is this enough stamps?" "If this is what I think it is, you might as well just go check yourself into prison right now." "Once I handed it to you, I was home free." "Not even close." "How's Ellis out there, anyway?" "I haven't heard from him yet, but I'm sure he's okay." "What about all my stamps?" "Peel them off." "Hey, you wanna get high?" "I can't today." "Hey, leave it." "All right, come on, goats." "Shit!" "I don't know why you're surprised." "All stoners are unreliable." "He's not going to send you anything." "Shut the hell up." "It just doesn't make any sense." "I haven't seen him in years, and he thinks I'm just gonna show up on his doorstep?" "Well, at least your dad sends you letters." "Mine's not allowed to." "Look, I'll be down there in DC for Thanksgiving, too." "We can hang out and party in Georgetown." "What are you going to do?" "Sit around here and wait for pot in the mail that probably won't come?" "Don't stay here." "It's not gonna be any fun." "You're gonna do nothing." "And you're just gonna get depressed, all right?" "Come to DC with me." "What about her?" "Go ahead and ask her." "We both will." "Excuse me, ma'am?" "Please don't call me ma'am." "I'm barely 31." "May we ask you a favor?" "Let me guess, you go to Gates, and you want me to buy you beer or cigarettes or porno." "Just Budweiser." "A six pack of Budweiser." "Bottles or cans?" " Cans." " Bottles." "Bottles." "Then she made me and Todd watch a slide show on her laptop of my dad kissing another man on Poodle Beach in Rehoboth." ""There's your father, boys." ""There's your father and his boyfriend, in love."" "Then she came over and made Todd say," ""My dad's a faggot."" "I wouldn't say it, so she tried to move my jaw and that's when she burnt me with her cigarette." "By mistake." " My mailman's gay." " My dad's not gay." "That was just a phase." "He lives with some woman in Houston now." "I'm not allowed to see him." "I don't know if my dad's in New York or DC." " He's always with some new slut..." " I gotta pee." "Shit." "Fucker Frank." "Runners, come on, let's go." "Knees up!" "Hello?" "Who's this?" "Let me talk to Wendy." "Tell me who this is." "Hello?" "Is this 520-887-4311?" "Who is this?" "Put Goat Man on." "Tell me who this is." "My mom has a new asshole boyfriend." "She'll have a meltdown if I go to Frank's." "So you'll stay here and eat depressing meals with the teachers and their grubby families?" "Come to DC." "That one question where you're supposed to find out how many grandchildren does Mrs. Smith have," "I kept getting negative six." "Yeah, Mrs. Smith and her grandchildren can suck my dick." "Some dick got a 96 and messed up the curve." "Ellis and I studied our asses off all night, and I only got a 73." "What'd you get, Ellis?" " Ninety-six." " Douche." "Hey, here's my girl." "I see her here every Tuesday and Thursday at this time." "Yeah, after she's done servicing the juniors and seniors." " You're an asshole, Barney." " Shut the hell up." "Hi, Ellis." "Hey." "Ellis, how does she know your name?" "This is the doll." "She's brand new today, ladies." "We've done a version of Sasha before." "But this is a new configuration." "So it's the only day that..." "Hello?" "Who is this?" "Tell Wendy that I'm spending Thanksgiving with Fucker Frank and his girlfriend in Washington." "If she doesn't want me to, she knows how to contact me." "And remind her that the Volvo is supposed to be serviced this month." "So, this is Ellis?" "Just tell her." "Oh, boy!" "Ellis!" "Your mom just called." "She wants you to go to Tucson for Thanksgiving, and not to go to DC." "So she calls now?" "She sounded really stoned!" "Come on." "Let's go." "Oh, shit!" "Could you come over here and clean this, Javier?" "I'll switch chairs." "Excuse me?" "You just got to pick up the shards and spray the juice with the hose before it gets sticky." " You broke the glass, not me." " Yes?" "Get up off your ass and clean it." "I'm busy with this bush." "Well, it's your job, not mine." "Hey, buddy, fuck you." "What did you say to me?" "You're free-balling, man." "What?" "One of your nuts wants out." "There you go." "I think that you and me and Wendy need to have a talk about your place around here." "You mean the pool house?" " Who's awake!" " Me!" "Me!" "Yeah, I needed to sleep!" "Yeah." "I've been so worried." "You know, Ellis never called." "The pool looks really nice, Javier." "It's so blue." "Aren't you the chick that threw the rock at Ellis?" "Yeah." "So what?" " Besides, Ellis was spying." " Come on." "I need to feel like a mom again." "It's been so long since Ellis left." "I'm going to take Aubrey to the mall." "I'll pick you up some of those boxer shorts you like." "What about me?" "We'll get you a new swimsuit." "That is so sick!" "And Bennet, clean up that juice mess before the ants come." "What do you mean, you're leaving right now?" "It's Thanksgiving!" "Stop, right now." "You need to behave." "Why do you have to go?" "You know what, because I need to go." "Please!" "This isn't fair!" "It's totally fair." "Because you're acting out." "This is totally fair, now I feel justified." "She's such a bitch." "Tastes like ass." "You would know." "If your friend's sleeping over," "I don't want him touching anything in the guest room." "I leave in two hours." "Don't touch anything." "The credit card is in the kitchen." "You can have Thanksgiving at the Beckers'." "Fine." "At least you can do whatever you want the whole weekend." "If she weren't so selfish, she would be going to Paris on Monday instead." "My mom wrote the book on selfish." "Fuck." " I'll call you later, okay?" " All right." "It's good to see you." "You look tall." "I grew, I guess." " You look different, too." " Yeah?" "Yeah." "Judy will be glad to know that you think I look different." "She's been sort of cultivating my new image." " Oh, yeah?" " Yeah." "I forgot to show you my store back there on the right." "I actually sold all 48 stores to a furniture conglomerate." "They're changing the name to Adobe, which I think is dumb, but..." "What do you do now?" "I still..." "I keep pretty busy." "Yeah, I read a lot." "Yeah." "A senator from Georgia lived in this house for 30 years in the 1800s." "That's actually a portrait of him there." "Dog lover, I guess." "Listen, about Judy and me, the reason I wanted you to visit..." "I thought I smelled it in the car." "Have you been drinking?" "Hey, guys." "Ellis, it's so nice to finally meet you." "You, too." "You been hitting the bottle today?" "That's what I thought." "Why don't you bring your bag upstairs?" "It's the first bedroom on the left, and then you can meet us at the table." "You can eat off any lingering inebriation." "He'll be okay." "I don't share Judy's cavalier attitude about your drinking." "I don't have a cavalier attitude." "Ellis, do you want some more stuffing?" "Yes, ma'am." "Ellis, you can call me Judy." "You know, you're the one who's cavalier." "You're married again." "I'm gonna have a new brother or sister, and you didn't even tell me." "Brother." "A new brother." "You're only 14 years old." "What were you drinking?" "And where the hell were this kid's parents anyway?" "I'm 15 years old." "We were drinking scotch, and Barney's mother's in Paris." "He never sees his father." "Is that supposed to mean something?" "He spilled the scotch on me, by the way." "That's why you could smell it." "I barely had any." "Okay." "Excuse me." "Hey, Frank knows you're 15." "I mean, that's how he refers to you, as his 15-year-old son." "He sent you those hiking boots for your birthday last June." "I was with him when he bought them." "When he got your midterm grades, he called to tell me about them." "All As." "He said he never once got all As at Gates." "He's proud of you, Ellis." "No." "Thanks." "You've never heard of Gates Academy?" "It's very famous." "It's very traditional." "No cell phones, no Internet in the dorms, they force you to take Latin." "Tell Ellis not to worry." "I mean, Latin's a dead language." " It's useless." " I'm taking Spanish." "Say something in Spanish, honey." "That one's smart." "She just said, "I want to eat cheese."" "Sorry I'm late." "Ellis is with Frank, and he hasn't called." "He'll call." " You stoned?" " No." "I told you I'm not." "I'm not." "I love your tie." "It's so tribal." "Okay, everybody, we are going veggie this year." "This is faux turkey." " It smells wonderful." " Tofu turkey." "Who would've thought?" "I wonder what kind of shit they're feeding Ellis in Washington." "You promised." "No Frank talk." "So, Javier, tell me about the next goat trek you're planning." "It's still in the works." "The goats are in training." "They're afraid of the water." "I'll be taking them up to higher elevation soon, to snow." "Black and tan male with the horns, Lance..." " Yeah, that's him." " Lance." "Yeah." "He bothers me when I'm reading my paper by the pool." "Very bad gas." "If goats don't fart, their intestines will explode." " I highly doubt it." " No, I've seen it." "A major mess." "I saw a baby goat once, born inside out." " Inside out." " Gross!" "You know, Jav, I think you may be onto something with these goat treks." "Yeah, a return to the earth." "You know, I bet Johanna would love to hear about these goat treks, wouldn't she?" "Wouldn't she?" "She's our spirit coach." "She's always interested in new forms of spirit healing." "I'm not sure these treks have healed my spirit." "I bet they have." "You didn't even notice, 'cause you're not in touch with your spirit." "It's a good point, Javier." "What?" " Hello?" " Hey, Mom, it's me." "Ellis, I told you I needed you here this weekend." "Why didn't you at least call me yesterday?" "Ellis!" "Do you want me to wash your fleece?" "Yeah, sure." "Thank you." "What does she look like?" "It's not the same Judy." "It's not the same Judy?" "This one's really nice and attractive." "Attractive?" "Okay." "How young is she?" "I don't know." "Maybe a little younger than you." "Figures." " What about Frank?" " He's fine, I guess." "He has new glasses." "Poetry glasses." "Poetry glasses?" "Hey, Ellis, Frank's home." "It's time to go." "Okay, thanks." "Hey, Mom." "I'm sorry, but I have to go." "Why?" "Frank has some kind of tour planned." "He just got back." "You're making a big mistake." "Mom, I have to go." " Bye." "Okay?" " Fine." "I've been looking for this record for years." "I can't even find it on the Internet." "Do you even have a turntable?" " Yeah, Goat Man got me one." " Of course he did." "So, you like Judy?" "Yeah, she's really nice." "Look, don't tell her I told you this, but when you wrote for me to come down here, at first I thought you were talking about the Judy you brought to Tucson a few years ago." " The loud obnoxious one..." " That was Trudy." "And she wasn't obnoxious." "She was nervous." "You know it was your mother that kept me away from Tucson for all that time." "Every time I'd show up, she'd start some new drama, even if I didn't bring along a lady friend." "Does she still refer to me as "Fucker Frank"?" " Hello." " Can you put Wendy on the phone?" "Who's calling?" "You know who this is." "Just put her on the phone." "I can't." "She went to a healing vortex workshop in Sedona." "She won't be back till tomorrow." "Okay, when she gets back, tell her I've gone on a trek, backside of Mt." "Lemmon." "Four days." "She likes to know where I go." "Why?" "As far as I can tell, she wouldn't care if you disappeared." "She's done with your chemically-induced lifestyle." "I didn't ask for your response to that..." "Hello?" "Dick!" "He's a dick!" "Hey, guys." "You fuckers ate my weed!" "That's it, you win!" "We're going home." "Idiots." "Yikes." "You ordered the health food?" "Dig in." "Pizza." "I already feel like a cow." "You're not a cow." "Not even close." "He can come back anytime." "Hey, you know, you should really think about joining us in Telluride this summer." "You can mountain bike and camp and swim." "And we'll have the baby by then." "Hello?" "Hello." "May I please speak with Ellis Whitman?" "Just a minute." "It's for you." "Is it my mother?" "No, it's your roommate." "He's very polite." " What?" " I got pot!" "I meant what I said about Telluride." "I think it'd be great for you to come out this summer." "I don't think so." " Frank, come on." " Are you kidding, honey?" "He shows up drunk for Thanksgiving dinner." "You sneak out last night to do God knows what." "How are you going to stay in school?" "I'm getting all As except for an A-in Latin." "Mea culpa." "How do you expect me to do this when you don't give a shit?" "You don't give a shit, either." " Are you kidding me?" " Okay." "Guys?" "All right." "You know, if you were getting an inheritance from your dad, now you have to split it." "Haven't you had enough of that shit?" "Don't tell me what to do." "You're gonna have to wash those in the sink." "I can smell the alcohol from over here." "You can't leave them there, we'll get busted." " Go wash them in the sink." " Fuck you, you're not my boss." "What's your problem?" "Wash the fucking pants!" "My award!" "You asshole!" "Hey, hey, hey, hey!" "Get up!" "Get up." "Both of you calm down!" "Are you okay?" "Let's get to the bottom of this so we can all get on with our lives." "Tell me what happened tonight." "Barney was being obnoxious, so I tackled him." "And before that?" "Barney was being obnoxious before that." "He means, what did you do before the fight?" "Like, were you and Barney drinking any alcoholic beverages?" "I'm quite capable of expressing myself, Mr. Rosenberg." "And why are you here, anyway?" "I'm not feeling good." "I think I have the flu." "You can wait in the hall until I'm done speaking with Whitman here." "But I'm suffering from FACT." "Fever, aches, chills, and tiredness." "The hall." "I'll tell you what happened." "You and Barney, Mr. Cannel." "You and Mr. Cannel were drinking on the bus." "You argued, you started to fight, you threw his award against the wall, and he kicked you in the testicles." "That sounds pretty close, sir." "I've looked at your midterm reports, Mr. Whitman." "You're doing well." "I study a lot." "So tell me about your visit with your father." "How's he doing?" "Okay." "Now, business." "No more weekend privileges, and you're going to have sequestered detention dinners until next semester." "And, of course, you know I'm going to have to call your mother in Texas to inform her of this incident." " I live in Arizona, sir." " Of course." "Phoenix." " Tucson." " You bet." "Hi, Wendy." "Get down here and roll." "Listen to your body, Javier." "You know, it's good stress therapy." "No, thanks." "I was wondering if..." "You know where your checks are?" "If I could maybe..." "I was thinking I could..." "I could write myself one, for, you know, last month." "I ordered that Fortunella japonica, the kumquat bush for outside the den window." "The headmaster called from Gates this morning." "Ellis did some drinking on the way back to school from his stay with Fucker Frank." "He and his roommate got into a fistfight." "And I have to write a check for $700 to patch a wall that Ellis broke." "I can't see Ellis in a fight like that." "Is he okay?" "No, of course he's not all right." "What do you think?" "After a weekend with Frank, I'm sure he's a total wreck." "The headmaster also said that Ellis has the highest grades in his class." "They're turning him into a Frank clone." "They're already talking to me about colleges." " He's only 15." " I know." "He shouldn't have to worry about things like that." "I can't take care of him from here, Javier." "I can't." "I can't do it." "I miss him." "I miss him so." "I miss him way more than I thought." "Way more." " How are the bills and stuff?" " That's not why I miss him." "I'm a mother and my son is 3,000 miles away." "I am missing a piece of myself." "He'll be home soon." "Johanna said that mothers and sons, even though we share the same blood, can sometimes be as cosmically distant as two strangers on different continents." "I don't see why a mother should be concerned about relating cosmically." "You should just call him up, and ask him about school, food, girls." "I should really just be mainstream?" "Sure." "Sorry, nothing came for you." "Thanks." "You can check again tomorrow." "Hey." "Someone hasn't been at dinner in a while." "I got sequestered detention dinners until next semester." "I never took you for a bad boy." " You're always in here." " I'm not illiterate." "I'm working my way through a list of the 100 best novels of all time." "This is my third favorite book." "The Great Gatsby." "My second's To Kill a Mockingbird." "All right." "What's your favorite?" "Wouldn't you like to know." "You know, you can play your music louder." "I don't mind." "Thanks." "I'm gonna fail algebra tomorrow, and I'm gonna fail history on Wednesday, and I'm gonna flunk out of Gates." "I guess you're not going to Yale." "I probably deserve it for kicking you in the nuts." "That was a cheap kick." "I'm sorry." "I just..." "I can't even do completing the square and I only know the first cycle of the Krebs cycle and all the kings in history seem the same." "And I just..." "I don't know what to do anymore." "I'm gonna flunk out of Gates." "I'm never gonna do anything." "Here's a good trick for history that Goat Man taught me, all right." "See this portrait of Pope Leo X?" "Look at him." "Remember his name and read what he did, then imagine him doing it." "Okay?" "You know, I owe you one." "You really saved my ass." "I know." "I'm going to study over break, so I'm not such a loser next semester." "I'm gonna float on a raft in the pool and smoke a bale of pot and go running a lot." " Won't the pot cancel out the running?" " Hey, bad boy!" "Merry Christmas." "You know, Smythe and Van Buren were in the car with Minnie." "She's probably giving them a ride to the bus station or something." "I bet she's giving them a ride." "The water's nice." "It's nice and warm." "I love the water." "Yes." "Yeah." "Okay, boy." "Right there." "Good boy." "There you go." "You have pretty nice arms for a stoner." "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "The goats hate water, so I'm training them not to." "Well, I hate to break it to you, but there's no water in there." "Well, you obviously know nothing about training goats." "First they have to get used to the pool." "What are you doing later?" "You sure are nosy." "I just want to know what makes you tick, Javier." "For example, what are those?" "Ever hear of art?" "Bennet and Wendy are in Sedona on that New Age bullshit spirit workshop, right?" "When do they get back?" "That was quick." "I was just getting comfortable." "What do you do?" "What do you do all day?" "Do?" "You know, I do the landscaping." "Work with the goats." "Clean the pool." "Don't you get bored?" "Well, I do other stuff." "Like get high all day?" "Is it true what they say about you and your goats?" "That you know them in the biblical sense?" "It's not true." "I hate my goats." "What the hell?" " Sorry." "Are you Ellis?" " Give me my bag!" "Pervert." "I'm not a pervert, I'm Bennet." "Wendy?" "Mom?" "Ellis." "You scared the hell out of me, Ellis." "Sorry." "I've had these miserable headaches since September." "Starts in my heart, goes around my head, and back down to my heart." "Come here, come give your mom a hug and tell me how was your trip." " I slept on my flights." " Yeah." "Did you miss me?" " Of course I missed you." " I couldn't tell." "Yeah, that's it." "Toke the fat pappy, girlie." "Hey, Ellis!" "Aubrey?" "That's my bong." "I thought your plane didn't get in till tonight." "Lance, leave it!" "Lance, quit it!" "I can't even get him to follow me." "Maybe he's disappointed in you." " I know you think I'm a traitor, but..." " She's not even half your age." "She looks older, you have to admit." "You could have at least written me or something." "Yeah." "I'm bad at that." "Sorry." "And Bennet." "You should have warned me about him." "Yeah." "He's a royal dick." "Hey, I'm going on this big trek the day after Christmas." "Down into Mexico." "You want to come, partner?" "I don't know." "Frieda, come on." " Ellis!" " Hi, Jonathan." "How's the fancy prep school?" "It's fancy." "I study a lot." "I got blackmailed into running cross-country." " What about the girls?" " What girls?" " It's all boys." " Exactly!" "Did the Goat Man have any luck sending you any provisions?" "He tried sending something via US Mail, but I stopped it." "Really?" "It isn't worth the risk these days." "We have to make this fast!" "Because your Spanish is horrible." "It's past 6:00 already." "I should be home wrapping presents." "I appreciate it." "You haven't shown me how much you appreciate it." "I appreciate it this much." "What have you been getting up to lately anyway?" "I've been breeding non-eco intrusive goats for the biosphere." "Plus some rescue goats that are trained to sniff survivors out of the rubble in a disaster, should there be a disaster." "Disaster goats." " Sounds important." " I'm going to make this easy for you." "Just use the clippers." "Just, you know..." " You sure?" " Yeah, make me look like Steve McQueen." "I'm a scientist." "Not a hippie." " No, olives are a party favor." " When's the last time you got olives as a party favor?" "That's 10 points because it's a double word." "Mexican casserole!" ""H"." "A party favor that begins with "H"." " "Hookah."" " That's a foreign word." "It doesn't count." "Sorry I'm late." "I'm cleaning up my act." "You look amazing." "Let me touch." "Touchy-feely." "Hi, baby." "Okay, if everybody's done fawning over Goat Man, hookah is a foreign word, so that's doesn't count." "I'll look it up in the dictionary, the English dictionary," " if you really want to challenge." " Yeah, challenge." "Yeah." "Bennet." "Bennet, honey, you're going to lose your turn." " "Hookah, an Oriental tobacco pipe..."" " Oriental." ""...with a long flexible tube that draws the smoke through the water" " "in a tin bowl."" " So that's still a foreign word." "No, but it's in the English dictionary." " Like "charlatan" is." " Yeah." "Or "gigolo."" "Or "fellatio."" "Honey, you lose your turn." "All right, okay." "Honey!" "Hey, hey, honey." ""Hissy," noun." " "A fit of anger." "Temper tantrum."" " Hey, hey, hey." "Hey, you know what, that's the kind of snarky bullshit that Frank used to pull all the time." "My God, you are turning into him." "You're turning into him." "Wait, are you talking about Fucker Frank?" "You know, you never finished telling me that story..." " Aubrey!" "Aubrey!" " I know." "Well, you want to know more about Fucker Frank, ask Ellis." "He's his new best friend." "And she should know the hell that that man put me through." "And now he sends you an old sweatshirt and everything is hunky-dory?" "I bought you a $2,000 mountain bike, and you don't have the decency to try it out." " I said thank you, like, 100 times." " I didn't hear it." " Feelings check." " Did you hear it?" "Feelings check." "I feel that you might be reacting negatively." " Feelings check." " Right, Wendy?" "Feelings check." "Feelings check." "Shut the hell up!" "You know, marrying that man was the worst decision I have ever made." "Why don't you tell Aubrey about the time that you and Frank got in a fight and how you disappeared for six days?" "And he had to find you living in a cheap motel?" " So?" " Or why don't you tell everyone why Frank never visits Tucson anymore?" "How you hid the keys to his rental car and made him miss his flight." "Okay, I don't need to be attacked by my own son!" "Fucking genetics!" "You are the biggest, selfish prick I have ever met!" "Bigger than your fucking father!" "Mister, you are coming with me to Sedona tomorrow, and you are going to do that workshop with Johanna!" "Yes, you are!" "No more fucking goat treks!" "Good job." "Listen, this is a special trek." "We're on a mission of philanthropy." " What do you mean?" " We're helping a refugee from Honduras into the United States." "That's illegal, isn't it?" "She's a political refugee." " You're joking, right?" " No." "My cousin Jesus set it up." "Is Jesus real Mexican or fake Mexican, like you?" "Fake Mexican?" "What does that mean, fake Mexican?" "Yeah, you know how you make everyone call you Javier even though your real name's Stephen and you're Irish-Italian." "I don't make everyone call me Javier." "They just do." "How are we gonna get the goats across the border?" "No one's gonna stop us." "Getting them to Mexico is no problem, we'll be crossing the desert on the way back." "After we meet Jesus at the Super Puerco, we can party all night." "Don't use "party" as a verb." "It sounds vulgar." "Vulgar in the common, pedestrian sense, not in the obscene sense." "I knew what you meant by "vulgar."" "The bar's either to the left or to the right." "That's helpful." "Try to look presentable." "Like me." "Jesus!" "What the fuck do you want?" "It's me, Javier." "I cleaned up for the trek." "You look like a cop, man." "Who's the kid?" "This is Ellis." "He's good with the goats." "Go outside and wait with the goats." "All right." "Can we do this in English?" "Those are the ugliest dogs I've ever seen." "Thanks." "Get out of here, please." "Sorry about Jesus." "Isn't Jesus married with some kids?" "Those prostitutes were, like, my age." "Where's the refugee?" "The refugee?" "She had to go back to Tegucigalpa." "Family issues." "So this whole thing was a waste of time?" "No, this was a good practice run." "You're setting it up in a wash?" "That's dumb." "They're rain clouds." "If you're so concerned about being spotted, why the hell do you have a bright orange tent?" " I'm starving." " Frieda's right there." "She's full of milk." "I'm looking for my power bars and I find your sandwich, cheater." "What about Javier's golden rule of goat trekking?" " Goat milk only." " Hey!" "Put that back!" "Jesus." "This wasn't my idea." "Not everyone is as fortunate as you, Ellis." "Wendy and Bennet might kick me out, and I don't have any money!" "There never was a refugee, was there?" "I swear, you don't know what it's like having to ask Wendy for money." "Then get a job like a normal person!" "I'm not a normal person." "Come on, let's go." "Pack up the tent." "We'll camp somewhere else." "Let's go." "Would you just give me a second?" " Come on." "Get up." " Get your hands off me." "Damn it!" "Lance!" "Lance!" "Goat Man." "Goat Man!" "Goat Man." "Goat Man's going to be okay." " Ellis, sweetie!" " That goat's not riding in my Jeep." "Are you okay?" "Did Goat Man call?" "The healing workshops were great." "Thanks for asking." "Aren't you even the slightest bit worried about him?" "The Hopi shaman at the workshop said that I worry too much." "Yeah, about yourself!" "Okay, I can't leak my energy right now worrying about Goat Man." "I have been advised to let it pool inward." "Frank and Judy are married and they're having a baby." "He's lying, hon." "He's trying to hurt you." "Let's go." "Okay, I know you're at Gates." "I know you're smart." "You make pretty good decisions." "But I do worry about you." "All the time." "I'm your mother." "And just so you know," "I was on the phone with Johanna and the shaman, and without me telling anything about what happened, the shaman mentioned that Goat Man knows the desert" "and knows how to survive." "Okay?" "And notice," "I haven't said anything about Frank or his child bride." " May I please speak to my mother?" " Who is this?" "How many children does Wendy have?" " Did he call?" " Who?" "Don't be a prick!" "You never even bother to ask about me or your mother." "That is rude." "Did Goat Man call or not?" "Well, I have a slight cold, and your mother..." "Maybe you should have Señor Levy call the police in Mexico and ask" " if they've heard anything..." " I'm sure Goat Man's fine." "Stop whining about him already." "Line up, girls!" "Eat my shit." "Quick one." "Not bad, Whitman." "Did you have PE today?" "Did you get sweaty?" "We should get drunk and go see that, that'd be awesome." "Yeah, sounds like a plan." "Nice bike." "Is that carbon fiber?" "Yeah, I think so." "Give it to me." "What?" "Ellis!" "Ellis." "Oh, no." "Come on, sit up." "Sit up." "I read To Kill a Mockingbird." "And at first I thought Atticus was sort of self-righteous." "But by the end..." "You think there are people like Atticus Finch in real life?" "I hope so." "Enjoy the Percocets." "Bye." "Once you have made a cut around the eyeball, separate the eye into two halves." "Let the vitreous humor and any associated structure..." "Barney, we're already on step six." "Can I finish?" "This is step seven." " Can I finish reading?" " I'm already done." "You may need to tease the vitreous humor gently away from the lining of the eye." "I think I'm just gonna cut the retina." "Yeah." "That's definitely not the retina." "It doesn't look like you're doing anything right." " I got it." " Wait, no, no, that's the cornea." "No, that's the cornea, you moron." "Careful, you don't want to blind that cow forever." "What are you doing here?" "I felt like taking a drive, I guess." "What happened to your head?" "He got bike-jacked." "Four stitches." "By a townie." "They hate all Gates students." "What do you mean?" "It's fine." "It's healing quickly." "Where's the photo?" "I'd like to introduce you to your new brother," "Gabriel." "He looks like Judy." "Actually, he's a dead ringer for you when you were a baby." "You know, it's a known fact that all babies look like old Jewish men." "Oh, boy, go easy on me." "Senior year." "It's not as dorky as I thought." "Wait, Latin club?" "Young Historians?" "I was only in those for my dad, who was convinced I was too stupid to get into college on grades alone." " Really?" " Yeah." " Eldridge said you were a brain." " No." "When I was admitted to Princeton, my father said," ""Everyone wins the lottery once." "Don't blow this, Frank."" "Ellis, do you like it here?" "I mean, you know you can go back to Tucson, or you could even come to DC." "There are a lot of good day schools there." " Really?" " Yeah." "I like it here, though." "We have our first meet next week." "Coach put me on the varsity team." "I'm actually pretty fast." "Really?" "Yeah, that was my room junior and senior years." " You lived in Stillwell?" " Yeah." "It's all nerds now." "It was all nerds then, too." "You saw my yearbook photos." "You think Goat Man's all right?" "Disappearing for a few months is a very Goat Man thing to do." " What about Wendy?" " Why?" "I don't know." "She seems weird." "She never returns my calls." "She's really into New Age spirituality and freaks out a lot." "Well, when I first met her, she was really into The Grateful Dead and she freaked out a lot." "Ellis, I've always had a hard time with your mom, but that's not an excuse." "I'm sorry I've been absent from your life." "Thanks." "I'm sure you've had your fill of the Gates food, so we'll go out for dinner tonight." "Barney, too, if he wants." "Are you sure you want to invite Barney?" "So Yale's application process is really tough, but I've been studying hard, and Ellis has been helping me out a lot, so I think I've got a really good shot of getting in." "But if I don't get into Yale, I'm gonna try for Tufts." "It's a little early to be worrying about college, isn't it?" "This isn't the right way to the restaurant." "Yeah, we got a little business to take care of before dinner." "I'll talk reasonably to his parents and if I don't make any progress," "I'll call the police." " Hello." " Yes?" "I've come to retrieve my son's bicycle." "I believe you assaulted him and..." "Mr. Whitman, are you still taking us to dinner?" "Thanks for coming." "Thanks for getting my bike back." "Think about Telluride this summer." "Judy would love it if you were there." "I mean, I would, too." "Actually, so would your brother if he could distinguish shapes." "I will." "I almost forgot." "It's a prospectus for my new company." "Solar panel technology for vehicles." "I assembled a team of geniuses, aside from myself." "I didn't want you to think I wasn't doing anything." "I'll look through it." "Good luck with the race next week." "I'm really proud of you, Ellis." "Thanks." "See you soon." "You got a package." "You're studying history already?" "Who's it from?" "Goat Man!" "It's from Goat Man!" "Close the door." "Well, of course!" "Look at what's happening!" "Bullshit." "You're a liar." " You're a liar." "You're a big, fat liar." " It's the only thing." "I can't help but think that if you could just corral your energy, just redirect it," " then you wouldn't be doing this." " No matter how I redirect my energy, you will always be a pig." "The jig is up." "Leave." " It's disgusting to think..." " But I still have to go through with it." " ...that you would put..." " 'Cause I've got to put food in my mouth!" "...your slimy penis into me after that." "That's disgusting!" " Get out of my face!" " All this..." " Get out of my face, you slut." " ...seems so drastic." "You're a big fat slut." "Get out of my face." "If that's what you want, I..." "I'm done bankrolling you." " Leave." " Yeah, yeah." "Runners, take your mark." "Hey." "Hi, there." "What are you doing here so early?" "Picking up my pathetic check." "I got my bike back." "That's good." "Good." "I was thinking, if you wanted to meet me off campus, you could." "I don't think so." "Come on, Ellis." "Why don't you spend some of that allowance money your parents send you for being the perfect boy?" " If you change your mind..." " I won't." "Grapes of Wrath." "It's my favorite novel." "We gotta get you home." "I think Wendy wants to take you out to dinner for your birthday and maybe show you your birthday present, if you're up for it." "I almost forgot it was my birthday." "You know, when I was little," "I used to love to hear Wendy do a primal screaming." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "It meant she'd actually be happy for the few days afterwards and play with me." "Thank God Bennet's gone." " Yeah, she actually kicked him out." " No?" "It was awesome." "You know what else?" "She milked Frieda the whole time I was gone." "Kept her lactating." "Yeah, exactly." "Forty acres." "There'll never be a 7-Eleven or a Wal-Mart out here." "I forget how cool Wendy can be, you know." "I helped pick it out." "That house all the way over there is owned by a surgeon from Canada." "The rest is National Forest land." "It even smells good out here." "This is the coolest birthday present." "Hey." "Welcome home spliff?" "No, thanks." "I got plenty." "Enough for the whole summer." "The greenhouse is going strong." "I was thinking of maybe going to Telluride with Frank and Judy and Gabriel for the summer." "Gabriel?" "That's the baby's name, Gabriel?" "Yeah." "I think you should go." "I think that would be good for you." "Yeah." "That'll be good for you."

"Clarence famous American author..." "Richard bach once said..." ""Real love stories never have endings."" "But famous American author Richard bach..." "Has also been married three times." "Clarence I guess if what famous..." "American author Richard bach has to say is true..." "Then it's important to know where love stories begin..." "And mine began right here." "Clarence real love is hard to find..." "It's something most people believe only exists..." "In romance novels, but history is filled with stories..." "Of real love..." "And the men who do crazy things for it." "My story... well, my story's not much different." "You got it." "Clarence look, most people say they don't believe.." "In love at first sight..." "But I do..." "And she..." "She was my proof." "Clarence her name is Alex and I knew I loved her..." "From the moment I first laid eyes on her." "Clarence unfortunately for me..." "She had no idea I even existed." "Excuse me, can i..." "Can I just fit in... yeah!" "What can I get you?" "I'll have a diet coke." "I love you." "I..." "I love you, too!" "I said, "that's two?" Two!" "Right, that's just... yeah." "Um... yeah, 'cause..." "That would..." "Clarence not my finest moment." "I paid for both the cars." "I'm entitled to both of them." "I gave you the apartment, that's several thousand right there." "I want the ring back." "My grandmother's money paid for that ring." "I don't give a shit what your lawyer says!" "Look, I've got the papers right here, I can just meet you right now and we can sign these and get this over with, please!" "Hello?" "You stupid... oh, my god!" "Are you lost?" "Yeah, I can't seem to find my car anywhere." "This is employee parking." "Guest parking is two floors up." "That must be it." "Haven't I seen you before?" "Yeah... yeah, you have." "I'm Clarence." "Shit, sorry, I gotta go." "Hello?" "Clarence all right, no need to go on..." "You get the picture." "Pretty girl marries asshole, ignores the nice guy..." "At her bar who's madly in love with her..." "And would probably go down on her like..." "Anytime she wanted, all the days of her life." "Okay, it's a bad joke." "You see, after this, I decided to observe..." "The situation and see if I could find a way in." "Like when she got her first tattoo..." "When our grandmother's passed away in the same month..." "Hence the tattoo..." "Rest in peace, nan nan and mi maw." "And when she decided to divorce..." "Said asshole, who by the way, used her grandmother's money..." "That she left her to buy her a new wedding ring." "Classy guy." "Clarence this is around the time..." "I decided to get proactive." "I knew that if just given the chance..." "To sweep her off her feet, she'd realize..." "That I'm the guy for her." "I just needed to get her attention..." "In a really big way." "There was only one person I knew that could help me..." "Do that, and that was Patrick." "Clarence I'd seen Patrick before at Alex's bar." "He started frequenting this place about six months ago." "His reputation needed no backing up." "Clarence Patrick was a smooth talking..." "Bullshit's walking, girl-getting son of a bitch." "At least, that's how he described himself." "What can I get you, stud?" "Tequila... and would you put it on her tab?" "He's got you covered." "Thank you very much!" "Very nice of you, but I don't swing that way, buddy." "Actually, he's covering the entire bar tonight." " Really?" " Yeah." "Cheers!" "Can I get like two more of these?" "Uh.." "Up top." "Told you you're my good luck charm." "Why don't you get a drink, on me, whatever you like, okay?" "Okay." "Okay!" "Hey... drinks guy." "Cheers, thank you." "Don't mention it." "Wanna play?" "What's the game?" "Uh..." "How about 100 bucks a ball?" "Too rich for my blood." "You can play with my money." "That's not really how gambling works, you understand?" "Yeah, well..." "Just trying to keep things interesting." "Corner... shot." "Man of your word." "If my math's correct, I've given you $1500..."

"Women who are interested in money, they decide within the..." "First 20 seconds of meeting you whether they wanna screw." "If your girl's not interested in you, well..." "She's probably not interested in that." "Yeah, but how would she know if I have money or not?" "You grow up with one of those kids who came from such..." "A wealthy family, that they were just socially awkward..." "All the time, like they didn't know how to act?" "No." "That's cause that kid's you." "Yeah, look, all right..." "But see, she has never gotten the chance to know me." "You don't get the chance, man." "You have to create the opportunity." "Right, see, now that's where you come in." "See, this girl, she's tough, she's like..." "Independent and strong." "It's gonna take something grand..." "To get her in the right situation." "Something grand, huh?" "Well, how many grand are you willing to spend..." "For something grand?" "I don't know, we'll get to that." "First, you've gotta see this girl." "There she is." "That's the girl?" "I'll consider it." "What?" "We'll talk." "Really?" "Tomorrow... 10:00 o'clock." "Can I get a diet coke, please." "Sure." "Thanks." "Hey, Martini, dry, two olives." "Sure." "Hey, how are you doin?" "Fine, thanks." "That's great, that's good." "That's real good." "Listen, uh... what are you drinking over there?" "No, thanks." "Listen, doll, I'm just trying to buy you..." "A drink over here." "Yeah, um, I'm good to go." "But, thank you." "Woo!" "You sure are, you are certainly good to go." "That's why I'm here." "Excuse me?" "Listen, I'm gonna ask you a serious question."

"Uh... uh... no, that's not necessary." "Right, sorry, I'm sure you're probably married." "Excuse me for just a..." "Well done." "Did you... did you see what just happened?" "Looks like you got her attention." "But I didn't do anything." "That guy just grabbed my drink..." "And threw it in his face like a psycho." "She doesn't know that." "Why would he do that?" "Because I paid him... $20 to hit on her." "And then if you were so kind as to intervene..." "He was to make you her savior." "What are you getting at?" "Always be the smartest guy in the room, Clarence." "Now, that was just a sample, a test to see..." "If you had the balls..." "To pull that off and when you did..." "I took over from there." "So, that's your plan, to have an asshole hit on her in a bar?" "Because that happens to her every night." "No, I think in your case we're gonna need..." "Something a little bit more..." "How'd you say, grand?" "Are you out of your fucking mind?" "You don't like it?" "No, of course, I don't fucking like it." "Why not?" "It's illegal, it's dangerous, it's completely..." "It's genius."

"But you just shot that guy." "He wanted it, he was asking for it." "It's like a badge of honor for him." "But the police are gonna come and they're gonna accuse us..." "They're gonna accuse us of murder." "No, no, no, no, no, no, honey, honey, look at me, look at me." "No." "Unh-unh, no." "I'm gonna clean that up, too." "Mm-hm." "There's nothing to worry about, honey, we're gonna..." "Be long gone by the time the cops get here." "They won't even know that we were here." "I'm just gonna go to the Van." "No, no, I need you here watching Alex..." "So that I can go and find the money." "Why did you say her name like that?" "What do you mean?" "You just said "Alex" so casually... it's weird." "Well, yeah, I mean, that's her name." "People call each other by their fucking names, right?" "What the fuck?" "It's a name, that's what you're supposed to call..." "Somebody by, right?" "Is that, that?" "What do you call somebody by..." "If you don't call somebody by their name?" "Okay, I'm sorry." "I'm just really freaking out." "I know, sweetheart, I know." "I'm here to protect you." "Okay?" "Okay." "You know..." "I've never been with a woman before." "I was gonna wait until later, but you know me..." "I'm just a hopeless romantic and I think it might help..." "You see the finish line a little more clearly." "Oh my god!" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's... yep." "Oh, you know, we can make some adjustments..." "To it, so it fits better." "It's custom made." "There's only one like it in the whole wide world." "Patrick, I love it!" "You love it?" "Yeah?" "Yeah?" "Oh good." "Oh wow... wow." "Just, congratulations, mm-hm." "Are you happy?" "Good." "We gotta get that money so i can afford to pay off that ring." "Why don't you go take care of her and I'll go find that cash?" "I love you." "I know." "Whoa..." "This is so fucking ninja." "Dispatch 10-18, can I get a status check..." "On Crescent point?" "Code 6, standby." "Dispatch 10-4." "How's it going?" "Where were we?" "The money, huh?" "I can't..." "I can't believe you shot me." "Yeah, and I'll shoot you again if you don't tell me..." "Where the fucking money is, man." "Come on, Clarence." "Work with me." "It's in the pool." "What do you mean it's in the pool?" "It's in the pool." "Like, like it's floating in the pool?" "What is it like wet bills?" "Am i going to have to fish it out?" "Come on, Clarence, you gonna piss me off here?" "It's in a case." "Like a box?" "Like a case..." "like a fuck..." "Sealed?" "Water tight?" "Like a Pulp Fiction transporter fucking case." "Clarence, you crazy bastard!" "All right, well let's go for a dip!" "Yeah... fuck yeah." "What the fuck is that?" "Oh yeah, um, I found it in the cop car." "It's really cool, right?" "It's like, I think it's like super like powerful and shit." "Okay, give it to me." "No!" "No fucking way, man!" "Give me the fucking gun!" "Hey, you haven't given me a gun all night, okay?" "Then I go out on my own accord and find the biggest..." "The baddest, the most dope gun..." "And then you try to take it away from me?" "Like, no, man, fuck you!" "Fine, hang onto it, you're gonna kill yourself with it anyway." "Come on, let's get to work." "You're a dick, and i found another gun, too..." "And I'm not even telling you about that." "Hi..." "I'm really sorry you got shot..." "But would you mind telling me where the cleaning products are?" "It'd be like super helpful." "I'm sorry it had to go down like this, Clarence." "You know, but think about it this way." "You'll have a good story to tell..." "You're gonna have a hell of a scar." "Chicks dig that sort of thing, man." "I'm a little jealous, personally." "Huh... you sneaky son of a bitch." "Never would have guessed." "Well, I'm just full of surprises." "Hey, my music isn't bothering you guys, right?" "Ready for it, ready for it." "Oh, yeah, dance funk." "Oy, oy!" "Whoop, whoop!" "That's been in there the whole night?" "Yeah." "That means there's only $25,000 in there." "Mm-hm." "Well, you better go in and fucking get it." "Does it look like I'm in the mood for a fucking swim?" "Does it look like I give a shit?" "You ever hear the expression, "shooting fish in a barrel?"" "Huh?" "Yo, why is this place empty!" "Hm..." "Damn, you're one good-looking motherfucker." "Hm..." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "I can't really see it, but it looks really beautiful." "You must be super happy." "Yeah, I am." "I'd love to see it." "I mean, if you're okay with that." "I know we don't really know each other and everything..." "But what girl doesn't wanna show off her engagement ring?" "Right?" "You're right." "Technically, you are the first person to know." "It's supposed to be your best friend, right?" "Well, it was when I got engaged." "You were married?" "Ugh, technically I still am." "What happened?" "Can I see it?" "What happened was, i married the asshole..." "That gave you my wedding ring." "Think I got all night!" "Come on, give it to me." "You shot my arm." "Give it to me!" "Jesus!" "You know, this is a $500 jacket, man!" "I'm still making payments on it." "Give it to me." "Come on, come on." "Agh!" "What the fuck happened to you?" "He ran around to the front of the house." "Go cut him off." "Okay, cool." "Anyways, this guy... he's not Clarence duffield, just saying." "Look what I found." "I'm out." "You gotta be kidding me." "Hi, Patrick!" "Hi-ya, Alex!" "What happened here?" "You know, Alex pointed out something really interesting..." "About the wedding ring." "Ah..." "Now, why would we want to let a little thing..." "Like that bother us, hm?" "You're an asshole." "Yeah, but you knew that, didn't you?" "You proposed to me with your ex-wife's wedding ring!" "Technically, we're still married." "Technically." "And we did kidnap her tonight so, you know..." "What do you expect?" "Kj yo, pick up, dude." "Excuse me." "Gotta take this." "Sorry, go again." "Kj yo, we ain't got no wheels." "If it ain't one thing it's another, right?" "Listen, girls, I would love to just keep going around..." "And around like this, really hash it out." "No, this ends now!" "We are going to figure out how to make this all fucking work..." "And then we are gonna go our separate ways." "So, we're through?" "Yeah, we're through." "All right, but you ain't getting' none of this score." "And I'm gonna need that ring back." "Screw you, Patrick." "I'm running a little bit low on time." "Hey, Clarence!" "Where you at, white boy?" "I'm gonna get you." "Aw, come on..." "Don't you know ninjas can see in the dark?" "You almost got got, bitch!" "Yayuh!" "Alex, come on!" "Agh!" "You threw a fucking gun at me, you bitch!" "Motherfucker!" "Clarence!" "Yo, quit being a little bitch!" "Patrick the police will be here any minute." "If you're smart, you'll get out while you still can." "Never!" "Marco?" "Marco?" "Hey!" "Agh!" "Yo, I'm gonna kill you, big man!" "Agh!" "Clarence!" "Oh..." "I thought you were dead." "I really didn't think I was ever gonna see you again." "Don't worry..." "I'm incredibly determined." "Agh!" "What happened?" "Patrick shot me!" "Are you okay?" "I don't know." "Let's go, we can't stay here, let's go!" "Agh!" "I got you mother-truckers now." "Clarence?" "You're literally killing me right now." "Clarence political activist..." "Emma Goldman once said..." ""The most violent element in society is ignorance."" "Oh, shit!" "Agh!" "Go to hell!" "I didn't think you'd still be here!" "Yeah, well I had some unfinished business!" "You're wasting time, Patrick, cops are on their way!" "Yeah, I know!" "Say, you're not just some rich kid with a crush, are ya?" "Nope." "You were playing me from the beginning." "Yep." "Say, where'd you get the money that you gave me to begin with?" "My grandmother actually gave me a little money when she died." "You're not a duffield, are you?" "Nope." "Yeah, piece of shit car in the garage gave you away." "What happened to the nice one?" "It was a rental." "And the house?" "Craigslist... vacation rental section." "Couple grand for a few nights." "Not a bad deal." "Not gonna get your deposit back, though." "Agh, shit." "Sounds like you're all out of bargaining chips." "Hey, Alex, you wanna hear a secret?" "Looks like we got ourselves..." "A little Mexican standoff here, huh?" "Minus the Mexican." "Didn't anyone ever tell you not to bring a knife..." "To a gunfight, Clarence?" "Say, baby cakes, what if i told you that Clarence here..." "Had this whole night planned out from the get go?" "He did... it's true." "He hired me... to kidnap you." "So that he could save your life and look like the hero." "Me!" "Can you believe it?" "I mean, what are the odds, right?" "That's what I thought." "But it turns out that Clarence knew who I was the entire time." "What I can't figure out is why he would want to fuck with me!" "But I think now's a pretty good time for you to tell us..." "Clarence, I think we're all ears." "Well, it's exactly like you said." "She needed a hero." "I've been going to that bar for years." "I was there when you two were happily married..." "And I watched it go sour." "You're a pretty shitty guy, Patrick." "But I knew you wouldn't pass up an opportunity..." "To make a little money off killing your wife..." "And getting her grandmother's money." "That is why you won't sign the divorce papers, right?" "The inheritance?" "As long as you're married, you still control half of it..." "Just as soon as you can find a way to get a hold of it." "See, I pay attention to the details..." "That's how I know what an amazing woman Alex really is..." "Even if she was too hurt from you to show it to anyone." "When I told you I wanted to be her hero, I meant it." "So, it turns out you were our real villain all along." "That is incredibly beautiful, man." "I mean, that was..." "It's poetic." "Really tugged at every single one of my little heart strings." "This broke loser paid me to kidnap you..." "Put your life at risk, got you shot!" "Does that sound like prince fucking charming to you, Alex?" "Does that seem like a hero to you?" "I got news for you, baby." "I got news for you, too." "I don't think the hero's gonna win this time." "Agh!" "Ow, fuck!" "Fuck!" "Shit!" "That hurt!" "Yeah, it does." "It's getting very interesting tonight." "I think it's time you take a look inside that case." "The combination is 1-4-3." "Always be the smartest man in the room, Patrick." "The choice is yours." "If you sign those papers, you can walk out of here..." "Free to go on with your pathetic excuse of a life." "Or..." "Alex can decide what to do with you if you don't." "I don't even know what to say." "You don't have to say anything." "I did what I came here to do." "I wanted to help." "Why?" "You don't even know me." "Because I love you, Alex." "I have from the first moment I saw you." "Heck, I've been coming to your bar every night for years..." "I don't even drink." "I wanted to know you..." "I really wanted to know you." "I saw what he was doing to you and I hated it." "For me, sure, but more for you." "You deserve so much better." "But I saw it, you wouldn't give anyone the time of day..." "Because you were too busy guarding yourself..." "From ever being hurt like that again." "When you guard yourself from pain..." "You're also preventing yourself from ever being loved." "So, you almost killed me to show me that I'm alive?" "Yeah, something like that." "So, what happens now?" "The way I see it, I think we only have two options." "Option one, you shoot me." "I deserve it." "I put your life in danger." "I fed you to the lion that was your husband..." "Or, ex-husband now." "That seems only right that since i put your life in danger..." "You have my permission to let you do the same." "Or, option two." "You let the police arrest me and storm the house." "I'll go quietly and plead guilty to any charge they give me." "Only you need to promise me something." "I need you to promise me that from now on..." "You're gonna live your life with your head up..." "And know that you deserve happiness every single day." "Because somewhere out there, there's this really messed up..." "Boy who loves this beautiful, beautiful broken girl..." "Who doesn't know what she's missing out on." "But both of those options..." "Don't really seem that positive for you." "I really don't think i deserve anything positive..." "At the moment." "Now it seems like you're the one that's shutting out..." "The potential happiness in your life." "What would option three be?" "Option three?" "Yeah... there's gotta be option three." "Well, if there's an option three, I guess it'd have to be..."

"No?" "Come on, it's fun." " Add some yogurt to it." " No!" "Hello." "You woke up..." " No playing Game Boy!" " Yes!" " Come on, we're making ice cream!" " No!" " Everything alright?" " Yes." "What?" "It suits you very well." "Maybe your uncle will call you more often now." "What's so awful about me?" "Listen, if you can't stand someone, me for example, it's not all that bad." "It's only bad if you don't tell me." "Because then I don't even know if... if it's something I can change or not." "Answer me, I want to know why you think I'm so awful." " You know what?" " What?" "Just say," ""I hate you."" "I hate you." "Louder!" "You can do it much louder, "I hate you!"" " I hate you!" " And now," " "I detest you."" " I detest you!" "And now quietly and really mean," ""Never call me again."" "Never call me again." "Right, and now shoot me dead." "EVERYONE ELSE" "I forgot to strip your bed, those sheets are ours." "Come on, I'll take them with me." "Who knows when I'll see you again?" "Rebecca will flip out." "Sorry." " Bye." " Bye." "We have to discuss our sex life." "I can't manage it anymore." "So I've called for reinforcements." "Hi, who are you?" " You sure are small!" " "So that's Gitti..." ""She's as hot as you said, Chris, really."" "Stop groping me!" "What?" "Hey, he's..." "He's saying something." "Can you hear him, too?" "Schnappi wants to know what a penis actually is." "Because he'd like to be one, but needs a bit more information." "I told him that he's much too small in the first place, and that he shouldn't be so dirty." "Do you hear him, too, or is it just me?" "I hear him, too." " But he said something else to me." " What?" "That you should shut up when I'm reading." " No, he didn't say that." " Yes, he did." "Don't move." "Hello!" "Yoo-hoo!" "What are you doing?" " Who was that?" " "Wine-Heinz," our neighbor." "Man, for a second I thought..." "Hans had found out where we are and I look like a transvestite..." " It's not a vacation if I have to see him." " Who?" " Hans." " We don't have to see anyone." "That would've been so "him." Hans is such a "coincidental guy."" "He coincidentally comes by when something coincidentally happens and he coincidentally meets someone who introduces him..." "Like with "documenta," when he was called by accident." "Did you see his work there?" "Yeah, it was really good." "It's very "in" without being stupid." ""Rebellious architecture."" "Pity." "That's how you like me, as a girl." "Yes... it somehow suits you." "Do you think I'm masculine?" " Yeah." " Right." "No, I'm laughing at the question." "I always thought it'd come naturally, with age." "But nothing's happening." " Except for my hair falling out." " Your hair's falling out?" "No, I think you're completely beautiful." "And sexy." "You don't have to be masculine!" "What do you mean by that?" "Then do something masculine and see if I notice." "God, I can't think of anything." " I just have to win the competition." " Exactly." "You just feel a bit unsuccessful." "Man, I never wanted to be unsuccessful." "You're not unsuccessful." " Did I tell you that I called them?" " No." "The guy knew our proposal right away." "I promise it'll work out." "I know it." " Why are you laughing?" " Because you're such a terrible actor." "What?" "With your arm." "You've never done that before." "But I wasn't acting!" "And did they announce the runners-up?" "Same old story... it wasn't too complicated." "Philip, that isn't true." "It wasn't too complicated." "Hey, don't be sad." "Yes, see you, bye." "And?" "Hasn't been decided yet." "They need more time." "Pity." "But maybe that's a good sign, right?" " It's no sign at all." " How's Philip?" "Good." "My TV time's over, right?" "You don't even understand anything." "You're just staring!" "Are you crazy, forbidding me to watch TV?" "Are you sad?" "Hey." "No, just tired." "You looked sad." " Can I ask you something?" " No." "Do you hate me sometimes?" "What kind of question is that?" "For example, in the living room just now." "There was something in your eyes." "That was hate." " I hate you sometimes..." " I didn't ask you." " But I hate when you..." " I didn't ask you!" "Please lie on top of me." "With all of your weight." "So, are we going to a disco?" "Please?" " No." " Please, please." "It's Friday, please, let's go dancing." "I'll take you to a disco." " Please!" " No, everything's closed." "Everything's open." " Please, come dancing." " No." " Please, please, please..." " No, I don't want to..." "Please, Chris, please." "Are you nuts?" "What?" "What does that mean?" "I said you look great." "You don't want to go." "Can you please speak German?" " Your mother is really quirky." " Look, disco!" "Lots of action here... it's usually packed." "Maybe we're too early." "And how is the music?" "Great, let's go straight to the dance floor." "Come on, show me what you've got!" "Be the dancing bear!" "Come on." " This sucks." " Do it." "You're so stupid!" "Can't we do it without one?" "It's much nicer." "It's much nicer without one." "I love you." "I love you." "No, don't always answer like that." "You make me so happy, Gitti." "I'm so lucky to have met you." "You were the most beautiful woman in the whole disco." "I love you." "What's there to reconstruct here?" "It's already perfect." "I don't think I'll reconstruct anything." "This is a renovation, not a reconstruction." "I'd do it." "It'd be fun, something different." "You can't really mean that." "So..." "The owner wants a lounge area here with a curving bar." "All with a Japanese touch." "No more country style." "And I'll rent an SUV, drive up to the site and yell at the Italians." "And if you really earn so much money, I'll come and help you." "Get serious." "You don't want me to pick out curtains for this place." "No, I just thought you could really make it great." " Why not try something new?" " Because it has nothing to do with me." "I would do it." " Let's take a nap." " I don't think I can get a hard-on here." "My father thinks I could make some contacts." "If you win the competition, you won't have the time to do it anyway." "Or could you do both?" "Let's go hiking before it gets too late." "They should just knock down the whole thing." "My God." "Shit, you're bleeding all over." "Shit, I bled all over." "Grab something to wipe it up." "Who closed the door?" " We're going to the hospital." " I want to go hiking." "You're crazy, we're going to the hospital!" "Right." "Have a nice flight." "Yes, have fun." "Bye." " Still feeling sick?" " Yes, a bit." " Who was that anyway?" " The guitarist from The Shames." "The Shames..." "Why do you let them depend on you?" "Anyone can book a flight." "Well, I guess they like me." "What a Schnappisaster." "A Schnappilemma." "A..." "Schnapptastrophy." " One Schnappucino, please." " Schnappussy!" "Are you schnapped up?" "You're the Schnappussy." " You're still lying there!" " Where have you been the whole time?" "We're invited on a motorboat trip." "By whom?" "Two Germans." "I met them in a café." "But why?" "Because they have a boat and I said we'd like to go for a ride." "And who are they?" "What do they do?" "I don't know what they do, something normal." "They're really nice." "Nice?" ""Authentic people" like Ingrid and Rainer from the ferry, whose mobile home you found so very fascinating?" "Don't be so arrogant!" "Pretending to be like them is arrogant, too." "Look, I brought you a piece of pie." "And then," "I bought something for myself." "Which I don't really like." "Stand up straight!" "I don't like it, I feel so bourgeois." "Looks good, you can wear that." "What happened to Schnappi?" "We banged heads." "What did you do the whole time?" "Lie there?" "In that tragic pose..." "I was thinking." "About what?" "About everything." "About myself." "About yourself?" " What's there to think about..." " Can't we talk normally?" "Yes, sorry." "What were you thinking about?" "I don't know what to do." "Everything seems so silly to me." " Us?" " I'm not talking about us, now listen!" " You're not listening!" " Yes, I am." "What's so silly?" "What we all do." "How I live." "My work." "Were you thinking about the villa?" "I think you have to take a risk." "You're too afraid." "You're so afraid of committing to something." "Maybe that's idealistic, but it's not very brave, either." "I don't mean just your work." "I mean everything, you don't even notice it!" "You can't take 14 days for one decision." "Or endlessly consider inviting two people to dinner." "That's total standstill!" "You're so desperately intent on not letting anything restrict you or distract you from your ideals." "Sure, theoretically you're free to go anywhere you want, but then you really have to do it." "It's always, "I should do this or that, no, this, no, that..."" "Then you don't do any of it!" "Because you're attached to your studio, bikes and books like people are to their children." "Then you show off your independence, forcing Philip to tell you how much he misses his freedom because of his family." "But what you don't see, and he probably doesn't admit, is how nice it is to come home to where his children are sleeping." "He's free to leave the apartment again." "But maybe he'd rather just lie in bed with his girlfriend." "Why not take a risk?" "If it doesn't work out, so what?" "I'd like to live with you." "We could try it out." "You can have your room with some hay and a light bulb so you feel at home." "Sorry that I talked so much, but I've wanted to tell you that for a long time." "Why do you think you know me so well?" "I wanted to talk about something completely different." "Set the table." "Will I never find out what you wanted to tell me?" "Sometimes I want so badly to be different for you." "Why?" "How do you want to be?" "Sometimes it could be a woman in the street or in a restaurant." "Then I picture you two being a couple and it seems to fit better." "The women are mostly very different from me." "Then I can't stop thinking I should be different for you." "Or at least I'd wish to be, because I think" "I'd make you much happier if I were different." "And sometimes I think I should show you more often that I admire you." "How much I love you." "Because I love everything about you." " You don't have to." " But I do." "And then I think that if I were different, I could get to know you in another way." "That's my saddest thought, that I can't get to know you in that way." "Sometimes I'd really like to be different." "That's pretty immature, I guess." "No, I've had such thoughts, too." "I always think I'm too boring for you." "When I first met you, I always pictured myself entering a room where you are and you'd say something to me" "and I'd just jump out of a window to surprise you." "But that's sad." "Yes, no, I wouldn't die," "I'd just casually fly out like Batman." "That's not very consistent." "You should die for me." " What's that?" "We don't need that." " Schnappi needs it." "Schnappi eats what Schnappi gets!" "There." "Sorry, can I pass?" "Sana, wait, they have light beer here." "Are you out of your mind?" "Come here!" " What is it?" " It's Hans." "What should we do?" "Oh, God, Hans!" "What should we do?" "Over there!" "Hi." "Quietly!" "Wondrascheck!" "I got you!" "I can't believe it." "Hans!" "What a coincidence!" " Look, Gitti, I coincidentally ran into Hans." " No, how funny!" "What a coincidence!" "Hello, I'm Gitti." " Has your vacation turned that bad already?" " Yes, right." "Sana, come here!" " Look who I caught up with." " What a coincidence!" " Nice to see you!" " My wife." "Nonsense!" "What happened to you?" "It's not that bad." "I hit myself with something." "The glass door wouldn't see it like that." "At last we meet!" "I always bore Hans so quickly." " We definitely would've called you." " I doubt that." "Definitely." "We didn't know you were already here." "I don't believe a word." "But you can't escape me." "I instinctively strolled around the corner." " We've never met, right?" " No, we haven't." "Sorry, I meet so many people." "Good that you know for sure." "Now to my offer." "We bought some great lamb, you'll come right over and we'll barbecue." "Oh, yes." "Actually, we're going on a boat trip." "Maybe we can miss that." " We could bring them, too." " We don't know those people." "Come over!" "It's pretty impolite of us not to show up, isn't it?" " Are you still talking?" " Yes." "I didn't know you knew him so well." "The way you hugged..." "He's always like that." "I thought they'd be even worse." "Why are you taking that off?" "It hasn't even healed." "Are you taking it off because of them?" "Let's secretly turn around and go on the boat trip!" "Relax." " No, no!" " I'm not sick!" " Here." " You want me to get really fat, right?" "Right." "I have to tell them." "Sana is pregnant." " Congratulations!" " Yes, congratulations." " Can't even see it." " Yes, you can!" " I hope I don't become too fat." " We've been playing "parents," too." "Chris' sister was here with her children, but we weren't very successful." " Really?" " Yes." "It belongs to a painter friend of ours, Ulrich Wulff," " the guy with the noses." " I don't know him." "Take a seat." "And over there she picked the apple naked." " You can open that." " Okay." "Your parents chose a very special island." " You'll have to give us some tips." " Yes, sure." "No problem." "Is Hans reading that?" "No, Hans wouldn't." "I'm reading it." "This is from a nearby farm, really delicious." " Delicious." " Come on..." " Have you been to Sardinia often?" " No, it's my first time." "It's a great island." "I always say, "Great, great, great." ""Great island." "Great in Sardinia..."" " We opened the champagne for you?" " Yes, I thought we'd have a toast." "You're the first ones we've told." "Really?" "Great!" " Then here's to you." " Yes, good luck." "My girlfriend has a dress by you." "She guards it with her life." "I also think your stuff is great." "I just can't afford it." "I can't either." "Sana is so successful, I had to impregnate her to balance things out." "Finally the truth comes out!" "You think that suits me, being a father?" " Sure, it suits everyone." " I don't know..." "Well, we don't know each other that well." "We don't?" "We know each other pretty well." "Sure we do, but we're not really..." "A friend of yours could judge that better." " Gitti, he talks about me a lot, doesn't he?" " Yes, every single night!" " Just what I imagined." " Just what I thought..." "You're my only friend." "Maybe you could become friends." "Exactly." "Am I just pregnant or do you two have crazy dreams here, too?" " I don't dream much." " I had such a funny dream." "Last night, I dreamt that Larissa, the artist, and I had adopted a giraffe." "We were sitting on a little hill, drinking coffee, waiting for the giraffe." "And when they brought the giraffe to us," "I realized the hill was exactly as high as the giraffe." "We were so stressed out and I was so afraid!" "Suddenly, Hans showed up." "And he touched the giraffe confidently, like a pro, as if he'd never done anything else in his life!" "That was so comforting." "Hans greeted the giraffe so calmly." "He was the only one who could really handle the giraffe." "What could that mean?" "I don't think it's very subtle." "That's what's so embarrassing!" "It's not embarrassing not to have profound dreams." "You're right." "Chris, tell us what you're doing." "Don't be so secretive." "All kinds of things." "I might do something here on the island, reconstruct a villa." "And?" "Something good?" "It could be." "We'll see." "And what are you up to?" "I've been working too much." "I need to collect my thoughts." "We worked for the "documenta" for 18 months." "Built a new orangery." "I'm a bit clueless right now." "I'm here to recover and lose weight so I don't look so bad when the baby arrives." " But was it fun?" " Of course, it was great." " That guy should do something like that." " What guy?" "Your boyfriend." " He's really good, but he's a romantic." " Why's he a romantic?" "Because he believes in a world that doesn't exist." "That's a bit too mystical for me." "I don't know what you mean." "If you win a cool competition and don't see it through just because your design is combined with another, it's not idealistic, it's stupid." "It bothers me, too, but I have some red wine and cheese with the people, act like my ideas are theirs, and in the end I have my way." "Why are you talking to me when he's sitting here?" "Because I'm talking to you." "Chris knows what I think and that I'd always help him." "With old-fashioned clichés and lectures?" "He doesn't need them." " He didn't mean it like that." " Of course he did." "You're annoyed, too." " Come on." " "Come on!"" " I find you a bit too patronizing." " Well, that's how I am." " I don't care how you are!" " Stop it now!" " That's enough!"

"I don't know anyone who can design such complex things" " in a simple, intelligent way." " You're doing it again." "What?" "You judge everything so generously!" "I don't need to talk to you about this." " You really are a Brunhilde." " Yes." "Constantly defending her man." "I'm not a Brunhilde, I just don't want to listen to everything." "We don't have it easy, do we." "You're so embarrassing." "Voilà." " You're not angry, are you?" " Nonsense!" "I just want to see you do something." "What are you up to?" "Still working with Philip?" "Yes, that's really good." "We complement each other perfectly." "But he's getting nervous." "He thinks our designs are too expensive and complicated." "He has two children..." "I recently saw your cool row-house design." "Yes, unfortunately it wasn't built either." "Do you know the Iowa Competition people?" "Yes, they all used to work at Hausmann." "Totally conservative assholes." "We submitted something in a rush, but it didn't work out." "Yeah..." "We submitted something, too, but unfortunately it didn't work out either." "Our design was really good." "They just give each other awards." "You didn't tell me that." "No." "I don't even want to know who's going to do that cool museum." "You failure." "Thanks." " What is that?" " What?" "This?" "My new backpack." " You're not taking that." " Yes, I am." " What's inside?" " I can't say." " No!" " I'm not walking with that." "You don't have to." "I won't carry it." "Oh, Chris." "It's a surprise." "Tell me what's in it." "It's a paraglider." "You don't know everything about me." "I used to do it a lot." "I want to fly into the valley with you." "Really, I want to do it with you." "Really!" "Sorry." "Sorry, but you totally believed me!" "Not at all." "Yes, you did." "Sorry." "Sorry, I'm really sorry." " Stay on the path." " Why?" "They converge up ahead." " Is it still far?" " What?" "The spot you're looking for." " Are we even on the right mountain?" " Yes, I know that." "Great..." "Don't look!" "Champagne?" "I think I know where it is now, up there a bit." "We can go there if you're sure." "I'm sure, but let's just stay here." "Look at all that stuff." "I'm not getting drunk here." "I'll make you a plate." "Why didn't you tell me about the competition?" "I don't know, there wasn't the opportunity." "The whole week?" "Sorry it didn't work out." "I understand that people don't want to say things sometimes." "I just wanted to say that you're doing everything right and it's great how you think about things..." "Yes, and I don't care if you're successful or anything." "You know that, don't you?" "Let's move on." "It's great that we can still get lost." "We're not lost." " Why don't you trust me?" " Because we're lost!" "I can't walk another five hours." "Do you have to run like a maniac?" "You're such an asshole!" "Haven't you noticed that I can't walk anymore?" "Do you need to be faster than I am?" "There you are." "Thanks." "I'm driving to the city to have a drink with Hans." "But I can't stay here alone." "Why can't you stay here alone?" " Because I'm afraid." " Right." "Why don't you take me with you?" "I want to come with you." " But I don't want you to come with me." " Why not?" "Because you can't behave normally." "What does that mean?" "I don't want to relive a situation like the other night." "Then just tell me what you want and how you want me to be." " Just watch how other people act." " But I don't want to act like everyone else." "Do you want a Sana?" ""Oh, the giraffe only trusted Hans."" "All you do is exaggerate." "I'm much more normal." " Let me go." " No, I'm much more normal!" "Oh, I'm so normal, unbelievably normal!" "Yes, I'm much more normal!" "Are you insane?" "Think someone's going to strangle you?" "Why are you awake so early?" "I woke up." "Was it that bad?" "I didn't sleep very well." "Why are you so wet?" " Drunken Hans threw me into the pool." " Into which pool?" "I spontaneously showed Hans the villa." "Thanks." "What did Hans think of the villa?" "Interesting." "Possibly..." "Are you going to do it now?" "Yes, maybe." "I'm going to meet the owner first." "I made it clear to him that I won't make any compromises." "Good." "I'm going to bed, I'm tired." "Do you still like me?" "But you do still love me?" "I'm going to the villa tomorrow morning to measure something." "Okay." "I can do something else." "What a coincidence!" "I was just thinking." "I know him from somewhere..." "What are you doing here?" "I wanted to exchange the dress." "Then I suddenly liked it." "Then I took a walk." "Take a seat." "Sure." " I didn't know you were meeting in the city." " We weren't, I was just hungry." " Did you buy something?" " Yes." "For your mother." "Why?" "To thank her for the house." "You'll think it's ugly." "Show it to me." "It's cute, she'll definitely like it." " The meeting was really nice." " Yeah?" "You might have a very rich boyfriend soon." "He was really excited about my work." "And he's interested in architecture, or at least he acts like he is." "I considered trying to get him to build something new." "Really?" "I'm really happy for you." "No, thanks." "Is it good?" "I want to meet Hans and Sana again." "I can meet them alone or we can invite them over." "No, let's invite them over." "Think you can handle that?" "Yes." "I think it's a good idea, too." "I told them Saturday." "I can cook something." "Hello, Gitti?" "I wasn't sure it was you." "My boyfriend..." " Hi, I'm Sandra." " Hi." "Hello, we're the Petersens." "Yes, I'm sorry." "We didn't show up." " Yes, we noticed that." " I'm sorry." "I forgot we had a previous engagement." " Oh, you're the ones with the boat." " Exactly." "We're sorry, we coincidentally ran into a fellow student of mine" " and just couldn't say "no."" " The offer still stands!" "Definitely, but I have so little time, I'm working on the island, a reconstruction." " Chris is an architect." " Interesting!" " I really didn't recognize you, nice dress." " Thanks." " Maybe it's just the makeup." " No, it's everything." "I really wasn't sure of myself!" " The offer still stands!" " That's totally nice of you." "I would've loved to go on a boat trip again." "Well then..." " Bye." " Bye." "What are your ideas for the villa?" "I have 1,000 ideas." "I thought I'd tear it down and ask him afterwards how he wants it." "I'll be finished in a minute." "I'm so afraid of losing you." "Don't answer like that." "How should I answer?" "I love you?" "I'd do anything for you." "I'll never leave you." "Something like that?" "Yes." "What are you doing?" "I want them to be afraid of what we're going to do with them." "What's that?" "It's spooky." "Nobody would understand this." "But we understand it." "It's somehow not funny." "Please." "I don't think it's funny." "Hans wants to name her Basmati if it's a girl." "Brunhilde!" "We were thinking of inviting the neighbors..." "We're so sorry, we just couldn't find it." "You look good!" " Here's a small gift." " Thanks." "That looks just like the other bunker." "Nonsense, it's a hillside location." "I'm worried about you." "It's nice to see you again." "Yes." "It suits you well." "Thanks." "Man, was I drunk!" "If you told me we were here, I'd believe you in a second." " Did you talk to him again?" " Yes, we're negotiating." "I hope I gave you good advice in my drunken state." "Make sure you don't get lost in the architecture scene here, okay?" " It could be really interesting." " Really?" "The guy's not that bad." "It's totally cute here." "You went to a lot of trouble." "That looks really good." "Thanks." "It's really good!" "A perversely good sauce!" "You can really cook!" "Come into my wigwam, wigwam And relax with me!" "Rainbow Johnny, Rainbow Johnny Let's be happy together!" "Rainbow Johnny, Rainbow Johnny Don't ever leave me again!" "That's why I love him!" "Enough!" "Sure, a little piece." "This is our official reconciliation." "You've done well." "It tasted great." "Where did you learn that?" "Maybe I can send Sana there, too." "What's your profession?" "We didn't ask you and have been speculating for days." "I work for Universal, the music label, in public relations." "I mediate between bands and journalists." " Gitti's dealing with The Shames." " Who?" " The Shames, a young band." " Shames..." "Right, you told us about that..." "Sana bet you're a photographer." "I bet "kindergarten teacher" after my experience with you." "Gitti would be an unconventional kindergarten teacher." "Do you want to tell it?" "About Rebecca?" "How should I tell that?" "Gitti taught my sister's daughter how to shoot someone." "Rebecca wanted nothing to do with us, but we had to take care of her, so Gitti was fed up and told her you have to tell someone when you hate them." "First she taught her to say," ""I hate you."" "Then Gitti let Rebecca shoot her." "She told her to use a pistol and then fell dead into the pool." "My sister was totally horrified." "Cute." "Unconventional indeed." "Now what have you been hiding from us?" "Wow, it's totally wild here!" " I want a tour of the house!" " Hans..." "What are you doing?" "And this is your pleasure grotto?" "Your parents' bedroom?" "And you sleep here?" "Yes." "I always wanted one of these." "Gitti changes behind that." "My therapist told me not to overdo it and said that I should use a sheet for the hard stuff." "What in heaven's name is that?" "My mother collects this crap." "Don't be so mean." "What's mean about that?" " Not that, Chris." " Why?" "My mother loves showing this." "My mother's paradise!" "Wow, how enchanting!" "Crazy." " They're made of glass, right?" " That's perverse, isn't it?" "Hans, come over with your ax some day..." "Goodness, how sweet!" "No!" " My God!" " Don't touch!" "Open it up." "There's something in every one!" "Read it aloud." ""Life isn't enough," said the butterfly." ""You need freedom, sunshine and a little flower."" " Hans Christian Andersen." " I'm going to throw up." "It's so touching, I feel like crying." "It's so full of yearning here." " And what does she do here?" " Daydream..." "Cool stereo." "Oh, no, come on." "It's Grönemeyer!" "I used to be a total Grönemeyer fan!" "Goodness." "I just thought of you tenderly" "Of you carefully and gently driving me totally crazy" "You came whenever you wanted left at eight in the morning" "A thousand and one nights" "I love you so much, so much more than you realize" "I love you so much, so much even when you're not on my side" "You didn't want to be attached to me to keep me for too long" "I dreamt of having a family with you but for you it was much too early" "There are certainly better guys different from me" "You want to look around first one never knows" "I love you so much, so much more than ever before" "I love you so much, so much" "I take it with a sense of humor" "Call me again..." "I'm sorry, people, but this is torture." " Can I help you?" " No." "Are you crazy?" " I have the feeling you'll fly in tonight." " I don't think so." "You'll see, my love." "You haven't swum all day." "You'll fit in there perfectly." "I didn't know your parents were so rich." "They're not." "They just chose the wrong pool size." "I'm a bit envious that you can work here." "Yes, you've said that already." "Pregnant women are so boring!" " Don't you dare, stop it." " Here's dessert." "You're overdue, honey." "Come on, let's eat dessert." "No, stop it..." "I'm pregnant..." "No, Chris." "Please don't!" "You're assholes." "What assholes." "So, do you have a towel for me?" "Know what?" "Go upstairs and tell them you're sick because you're pregnant and you want to go home." "Well, Gitti, thanks for the delicious roast." "You definitely have to give Sana a cooking class." "Bye, see you soon." "Take care." "Thanks a lot for the nice invitation." "Sure." "Thanks for coming." "I'm sorry." "I'm going inside." "There you are." " Aren't you cold?" " No." "Wait." "I love you so much." "I don't want to go to the beach, I'm tired." "You can sleep on the beach." "Go ahead, I'll be there in a bit." "Come on, it's beautiful there." "No, I'm going back." "Yes, he told me that, too." "Right." "Just call me later a couple of times and say you need me urgently next week." "I'll tell you later." "Yes, you'll have to tell me all about it." "Then call me tomorrow when you know more, okay?" "Bye." " Who was that?" " Daphne." "They're stressed out and will probably need me sooner." "They'll call me back tomorrow." "That's not what you just said." "I don't love you anymore." "I'm flying home." "Can you talk to me?" "What were you trying to pull on the phone?" "Why don't you love me anymore?" "No reason." "I don't believe you." "Because you're a weakling." "That doesn't hurt me." "Then why did you sleep with me without a condom?" "Don't worry, I won't have a child with you." "You want me to pretend to be a guy who reconstructs villas and invites you to dinner?" "How courageous!" "You want your life to be easy and fun!" "You tell me to take risks?" "You sit there in your damned sweatpants and give me clever advice!" "What are your ideals, anyway?" "You only watch me or change your clothing style." "Don't you think you're desperate, too, when you hop about like Sana?" " I just wanted to see if you liked it." " I don't like it." "I know you love me." "I'm sorry that you think that." "There are tears in your eyes." "Because I feel sorry for you!" " You really think I'm that ridiculous?" " Yes." "If I'm such a pitiful guy, you should really leave." "What is this?" "Gitti, is everything alright?" "What's wrong?" "Stop jerking me around." "I don't know what you're trying to tell me." "Yes?" "Hi, Daphne, this is Chris." "No, she's not here." "She's at the beach." "Yes, I'll tell her." "Yes, she will." "Bye." "That was Daphne, she wants a return call." "But you already know that." "Can you please stop?" "Can you stop this show?" "What is this crap?"

"Terrorist incidents have dropped 15% in the last quarter." "Pacification is almost complete." "Next on the agenda, city expansion to 14th Street." "As you will note, we are on schedule." "The military has assured us there will be no resistance." "Here are our latest modifications..." "pending your approval." "I'll look at these later." "Commander." "Was there something you wanted?" "Where are we?" "I hope we are still on track." "Yes, the thing is..." "If I remember correctly, you promised completion today." "I understand, sir." "However in a chemical reaction of this complexity there are variables that unless understood and controlled could lead to catastrophy." "You have until the end of the day." "But sir!" "I was a little slow today." "Sorry." "Ah, but the stroke was perfect." "And you... are perfect." "But I was nothing, til you found me." "Remember?" "Of course." "Are you... god?" "Close enough." "You're immortal!" "You will serve me for eternity." "Besides, you really are much too beautiful to kill." "You have taught me everything." "You are my lover, my world." "...my destiny!" "Show me your gratitude." "What is it?" "Commander, Malike's killer has escaped." "Find him." "Kill him if you have to, but I want his head attached to his shoulders." "Yes, sir!" "Should I help them?" "No, this is more important." "C'mon, this way." "It's a secret entrance." "Soldiers can't track us down here." "Welcome to our world!" "I'm still hungry." "Sorry, we're out, more's coming in tomorrow." "We still have soup!" "I hate rat soup..." "Your call." "You got mustard?" "Yeah, you got it." "Gotcha!" "Why do you live down here?" "Only the obedient assholes live in the tower, and they run the whole damn city." "Those bastards also control the vaccine." "Fewer get sick underground, it betters our chances." "Dahlia!" "You're back!" "Doc, how's Sarah doing?" "Not good." "Without vaccine, maybe she's got a couple days." "Damn." "This the guy all the commotion's about?" "Let's go." "Home." "C'mon in." "Scotch, gin, bourbon." "Help yourself." "Why did you bring me here?" "Can't you guess?" "Most of my customers look like Freddy." "Let's just say I'll give you the house discount." "Why don't you take it easy?" "You don't seem like the shy type." "Like what you see?" "C'mon, it's free... whatever you want." "I wanna know the real reason why I'm here." "No big deal." "I just need a little help." "Hey, wait, I need your help!" "Would you just hold on a minute!" "I want you to help me break into the tower and steal some vaccine." "We lost our source inside!" "They killed him!" "People are dying, don't you care?" "No." "I don't." "Wait!" "Wow, that didn't work." "Yo!" "Hey!" "Wait up!" "This is all it takes." "Now, let us build our perfect world together" "I will make your dreams come true!" "Please, just stop!" "All in a world of safety, beauty..." "I've got money, I can pay you!" "...and prosperity." "Your obedience is all it takes." "Marcus!" "What?" "Don't tell me you know him!" "Let us build our perfect world." "He's the asshole that owns us." "Bring him to me." "Why are you here?" "Answer me." "You crucified Moya!" "Moya?" "What a pity to waste such beauty." "She was yours then?" "Tell you what." "Kill me, and you live." "Cut him loose!" "Leave him!" "He's mine." "He lies on holy ground." "You are a lucky bastard." "It took you long enough!" "Are you... a sorcerer?" "No." "Now, I am just a spirit." "I was once a druid priest, and I was called..." "Amergan." " Where are you going?" " To kill a Roman!" "Aren't you at least mildly curious as to why you still live?" "By the way..." "How's that gash in that head of yours?" " I'm healed!" " You, my friend, are immortal." "You will live forever, unless someone cuts off your head." "And I'd lay down that sword, if I were you." "Well, if I'm immortal, then what have I got to worry about?" "Pain." "Pain still hurts." "Are we ready to listen?" "We have much to discuss." "You have been given a rare gift!" "You will live to see civilizations rise and fall." "You will know a thousand joys and..." "a thousand heartaches." "My friend, the Romans have gone." "What?" "Gone where?" "There are other immortals, like yourself." "When they draw close, you will feel them, even before you see them." "Just like you felt Marcus." "I did." "He is immortal, and he's been a warrior for centuries." "You will have no chance against him." "Where is he!" "Tell me!" "Tell me!" "He will take your head, and your quickening." "That's what all immortals are searching for." "The life force, the energy that flows from your body after you are beheaded." "Immortals will fight until only one of you remains alive." "But you can never kill on holy ground so you are safe, for now." "Where is he!" "He was part of your mortal life." "That life is over." "It will be over when he's dead!" "Oh, and another small thing." "Immortals can't have children." "So my friend!" "Your quiver..." "...has no arrows." "Tell me now..." "Or by the gods, I will crush you!" "They leave from Dover..." "You're too late." "No!" "Your life has just begun!" "Why are you in such a hurry to die?" "Holy shit!" "Where is he!" "What?" "What's he to you?" "Where is he!" "He's up there." "Forget about it, ok?" "Security's too tight, and half the army's looking for your ass." "Unless you know how to get in like I do." "Remember your promise." "Once the vaccine's safe, you can do what you want." "Joe!" "What the hell are you doin' here?" "Sarah's dying." "I'm going with you." "No, you're not." "You'll just be in the way." "Joe, no one's ever made it." "Doc was lucky, ok, he only lost his leg." "My choice." "Keep quiet!" "What the...!" "Shit!" "It's off!" "Run." "Now." "I'm sorry about the watch!" "Forget it!" "Run!" "This way!" "Dahlia!" "Dahlia!" "You ok?" "I'm fine." "He is one tough son of a bitch." "Man, you are unreal!" "You sure you know where you're going?" "Yeah, the city's right above us?" "Should be right..." "There!" "Bad timing." "Just stay put it..." "Whoa, he's amazing!" "Yeah, but not very subtle." "Let's keep moving." "Here goes nothing." "Nobody moves!" "If you wanna live, put your hands behind your heads." "Do it!" "What exactly do you think you're doing?" "We're here for the vaccine." "Where is it!" "No, no, I'll do what you want!" "For god's sake, stop firing!" "Did we lose viral containment?" "No, sir." "We're safe." "All sensors are negative" "What was that about?" "What?" "This has gotta be it..." "I found it!" "It's the vaccine!" "Put it in here." "I got it." "Hey, what in there?" "You said it was viral." "Why is there virus in there?" "Don't!" "You do that, and everyone within 50 miles dies." "Oh, it's perfection..." "A perfect virus with a contagion and kill rate of 100%." "What the hell is it doing down here?" "No...!" "It can't be...!" "Son of a bitch." "You've been making it all along, right here?" "You've been making us sick." "Killing us." "I was under orders." "Why?" "How could you do that?" "Because this is how it is..." "in Rome." "This isn't fucking Rome!" "This is New York!" "It seems that security is aware of your presence." "Now, drop your weap..." "We're outta here." "I'm ready." "Let's go." "What now?" "Dahlia!" "Shit." "Run!" "Where's he going?" "I don't know!" "Wait!" "Colin!" "Colin!" "Don't go!" "Don't leave us!" "You've never been that bright, but at least you weren't an arsehole." "Sometimes I think you're as dense as a piece of wood." "I thought for a minute there that you'd give up this lunacy to do something noble." "But no." "Not now." "Not ever." "I beg you!" "Help us!" "Where is Marcus Octavius!" "You can have all of it!" "Just lead us to safety!" "Don't leave us!" "Marcus." "I see you've been busy." "It took you long enough." "Persia, Gaul, Egypt..." "I go wherever my empire needs me." "Your empire dies today." "No." "It will never die in here." "Rome is more, more than princesses and palaces." "It is a thought, an ideal, a vision of beauty, order, and peace." "Someday..." "My destiny is to create it again, in all its perfection." "Not if you're dead." "It is you, my friend, who are dead." "Here." "Just open your eyes." "That wasn't very nice." "Barbarian." "This is your destiny." "There can be only one!" "Damn!" "Stupid boy." "As I told you, you had no chance." "Stubborn and vain, you wouldn't listen." "All you knew was your hateful Marcus, all you had was your quest for revenge." "Wasting centuries of life on a useless journey that could only end in your death." "Marcus!" "No!" "Colin!" "A warrior came to us without a clan, without a name." "He fought for us, he died for us." "He lived a stranger, but in death, he's a Highlander." "From today onward, he shall be known as our brother" "Colin MacLeod, of Clan Macleod." "When you did find a place to call your home and a woman who loved you, what did you do?" "I see him!" "This way!" "Get out of the way, Deborah!" "The demon must be destroyed!" "You'll have to kill me first!" "Are you mad, girl!" "Get out of the way, Deborah!" "Leave me, Deborah." "This is my fight." "No, it's mine." "I love you!" "No!" "Kill him now!" "Leave him be!" "Leave him, no!" "Colin!" "Enough!" "You'll not do this man any harm!" "But Gregor!" "He's a demon!" "We saw him dead, yet now he lives!" "He's the devil!" "I know not what magic returned him to life..." "But he fought at our side and helped bring us a great victory." "Look at his eyes!" "There is no evil there, only sadness." "And you will not, raise your hand against him!" "He has bewitched you!" "He must die!" "Then I swear on my honor then so will you!" "Go." "But never forget that you are Colin MacLeod, of Clan MacLeod." "Live with honor, Highlander." "Colin!" "Did Deborah's love or Gregor's faith change you?" "Did you live with honor?" "No, because honor was not what you wanted." "For over a thousand years, there was only vengeance." "Marcus!" "Don't you ever get tired of this, boy?" "Never!" "The game ends now." "Marcus!" "Hey, look on the bright side!" "You've got an exquisite samurai sword." "You died again and again with no thought to what you could've been, and what you could've done." "Well that'll at least get you an A for effort." "Nice sword." "It's a pity you won't live long enough to use it." "After all, it was meant for a samurai not a barbarian, like you." "Holy ground." "This must be your lucky day." "Why don't you just give up before your luck runs out?" "Anywhere you go..." "I will follow!" "Relentless bastard, aren't you?" "Aren't you tired of losing yet?" "Tell me." "Have you done anything in the last 2,000 years besides try unsuccessfully to kill me?" "I can write poetry in three dozen languages." "I paint like Rembrandt, and play piano like Liszt." "...and you?" "I loved Moya and you killed her!" "I loved Rome." "Things die." "It is the way of life." "All we can do is try to find a reason to go on, to build it again." "I have found mine." "Why don't you find something?" "Mine... is to bury you." "I wonder... who is the bigger fool?" "So here we go again." "You must really enjoy getting your arse kicked." "You do it so often." "Shit!" "Assholes!" "Dahlia, hurry!" "Close...!" "I knew it was you." "He's my guest." "You're looking well, old friend." "The same pitiful savage you have always been." "I see you never get tired of failing." "You've come to be put out of your misery." "You've come to die." "Congratulations." "Today, your sick vendetta ends." "I'm having fun... are you having fun?" "That'll hurt." "Oh, shit!" "Colin!" "Keep going." "C'mon, let's go!" "He's dead!" "Get the vaccine to Doc." "And tell him about the virus!" "What are you waiting for!" "I'm outta here!" "Colin!" "What...!" "Jesus!" "You were dead weren't you?" "Yeah." "I was." "But it's not the first time." "You expect me to believe that you ran out on us because you and Marcus are both ...immortal?" "And you've been chasing him all this time for revenge... all this time because he killed your wife, 2,000 years ago?" "2,000 years?" "I think you're outta your fuckin' mind." "I'm getting tired of this crap!" "Not feelin' so good." "I can't go... much..." "2,000 fuckin' years!" "So much grief." "So much hate." "You've had so much pain." "You must have really loved her." "That was very impressive not." "At least you're consistent." "Where am I?" "Inside." "Inside your own head." "Pretty empty here." "Remember this place?" "Or have you forgotten her, like you forgot your promise?" "So... what would Moya think of you now?" "Moya's gone." "Who, you think?" "This is her grave." "I've met trees with more brains." "You think she was only of the body?" "That dust is all she has become?" "Moya's soul, her essence, is eternal." "She was meant to meet you again." "And it has found you throughout time." "But you stagger around, blind and stupid." "Unable to see, unable to love so full of anger and rage." "You have lost your reason, your promise." "You're full of shit." "Am I?" "Open your eyes." "Don't you see?" "Don't you get it?" "Moya, Deborah, Dahlia..." "...are the same woman." "Colin!" "Moya!" "It's me." "Dahlia saved your butt!" "Welcome back." "About five minutes ago, you had six broken ribs, three crushed vertebrae and you were bleeding out from a ruptured spleen." "Now you're not." "It's him!" "He's really alive!" "I'm used to people running from me, like I was the devil." "What you are doesn't matter." "You not only helped bring them vaccine you brought them something much more important." "You brought them hope." "They now believe that anything is possible." "And so do I." "Doc!" "Tell me you're not thinking of going to war with the city." "I'm tired of hiding in sewers, waiting for the day they kill us all." "Are you out of your mind?" "He has an army." "You have no chance." "You have no chance." "We have a choice." "Doc!" "Listen up everyone!" "Today we have learned the truth!" "This virus has one purpose." "To kill us all!" "I say we fight!" "Who fights with me?" "We got no choice!" "Let's take back our city!" "Tell all your friends!" "Tomorrow, we take back our city." "Tomorrow, we take back our lives." "Colin." "You'll fight with us, right?" "It's our war." "It's not his problem." "But...!" "To glory!" "Glory!" "In the name of honor!" "Death to Rome!" "It was all going so well." "Now you say it's useless?" "What am I to do with you?" "Not useless... just not perfect." "Until we can control it, to use it is madness." "It could kill us all." "I just need... a little time." "Which... sadly, you do not have." "You're done." "What do you mean, done?" "Done means... done." "They won't like that we've created the virus." "I think it's time for a little creative brutality." "Go." "Yes, sir!" "What about..." "Macleod?" "Don't bother looking for him." "He'll be back." "Come in." "I never thanked you for carrying me out of there." "Forget it." "If you die, you won't be coming back." "Sometimes dying is easier than living." "Seems like my whole life I've been fighting." "If I die, and we win, that's good enough for me." "Every day at church..." "I pray for it." "I know you don't believe but I'm sure god's been listening." "He has to be." "...because he answered one of my prayers." "Colin." "I was praying for you." "Hey, where's Dahlia?" "We're letting her sleep." "But she'll miss the fight!" "So much for the element of surprise." "C'mon, tough shit on us!" "It's now or never." "Rudy's right." "But there's only one way you can really win." "Marcus has to die." "Can you hold out long enough?" "What are your chances of killing him?" "Best you not know." "You're right..." "Same here." "Colin, there's another way into the city, but you'd have to be crazy to try it." "Show me." "Thought you'd say that." "We fire, then we move." "Got it?" "Got it." "C'mon, baby." "Come to papa." "Wait'll you see what daddy's got for you." "A little more... that's it." "Up there!" "Keep firing!" "Blow those assholes apart!" "Run!" "Colin!" "Mother... fucker!" "This is it." "Right through there..." "Let's fall back!" "I told you, you had to be crazy but this is the only way to get up there." "Thanks." "I'll take it from here." "Hey Colin." "Kick his ass." "You can't hide from me, cutie!" "Not bad... for a pretty boy!" "I don't know whether to kill you or to do you." "Poor baby." "That must hurt!" "You giving up?" "Dahlia!" "I'll deal with you later, asshole!" "Just do what you gotta do, and get your ass back to me!" "Dahlia!" "Be careful!" "I love you, Colin." "Nail it this time!" "I give you... two to one against." "Twenty bucks?" "You're on!" "What a bang!" "Who's the man?" "You're the man." "Let's finish this." "You got it." "C'mon, it's time to kick some ass!" "There's the signal!" "Let's do it!" "Fire!" "The more things change..." "... the more they stay the same." "Right?" "Just like now." "You were there." "Are you responsible for this?" "No." "You are." "Their battle." "My battle." "It will only end with your death!" "Barbarians will always be barbarians." "If I can't control them, or tame them I might as well start all over again." "What are you doing?" "Isn't it obvious?" "I'm going to kill everything in New York." "You're insane!" "In two minutes, the virus flies." "Can you stop it?" "Now, time is a waistin'." "As I said... everything dies." "But no sacrifice is too great, in the quest for perfection." "The difference between you and I is that I will rebuild my empire." "I will have my dream unlike you, who has wasted an eternity on nothing." "And so... my new world..." "Begins!" "Oh no..." "Virus!" "How does that feel?" "Oh, don't worry your pretty head about it." "You won't be alone." "Everyone dies today except for Marcus and me." "No I think..." "I'll take you with me!" "Colin!" "I will see you again." "...one day..." "Dahlia!" "...in another time..." "God help me for them for her." "Back so soon?" "Why don't you stay down?" "You're pathetic, and weak." "This time, I take your head!" "There can be... only one!" "So, big shot." "You've finally won." "Too late." "For everything." "No, it wasn't." "You saved the city." "The quickening wiped out the virus." "I do pity that poor girl" "At least her prayers were heard." "Take heart, my old friend." "What it lost... shall one day be found." "Catch you later, Colin." "I hope you found peace."

"You see, before each person disappeared... they were in contact with a machine that had a built-in oscillator." "That's right." "I didn't think of that." "Now, supposing we took one of those oscillators... and reversed the polarity." " That would make 'em appear." " Well, it's a long shot, Son, but it just might work."

"But I'm telling you, I have interviewed hundreds of nut jobs in my time..." " and this man is credible." " He can say anything." "Yeah, but what if it's true?" "Huh?" "What if it's true?"

"But what if there's even a slight possibility... that exotic matter exists?" "That might be why the Navy's all over it." "This could explain the electromagnetic anomalies and wormholes." "So they're screwing with time-space hoping to do what, exactly?" "They're building a weapon." "A weapon." "Come on." "This is..." "It's the military." "It this really so shocking?" "You realize this could be the answer to Benirall's disappearing ships... to everything we've been experiencing, all of it." "So, now that we know... what can we possibly do about it?" "Stop it." "Hey, come on, Dad." "What do you think you're doing?" "Ruben, listen to me." "Something's happening here." "Look at this storm." "We've got to go get your mother." "We gotta get out of here." "We gotta get away from Florida, as far away from here as possible." "He in there?" "Yeah, he's been locked in there for hours... refusing to see anyone." "Until I told him you wanted to see him." "Mr. Benirall?" "Sir?" "You OK?" "It's like a vise." "Never felt it like this before." "Sir?" "He's painted everything." "There's no reflections." "Geordie suspected the Navy was doing something out there in the Atlantic." "Put some Glenfiddich in that, and I might drink it." "But how could anything the Navy's doing out there be capable of..." "Because... we think they may be exploring... some radical new energy source." "New what?" "We believe they're developing some sort of new weapon." "This storm..." "Storms naturally build." "This one isn't doing that." "It's spontaneously generating out over the Atlantic." "So, the Navy's controlling the weather to develop a new weapon." "Well, maybe the weather is just a symptom of..." "This is bourbon." "Leave it." "What has any of this to do with the Triangle... and my ships disappearing, and the damn visions?" "Visions that you're all having." "What the Navy is doing could be affecting... the entire electromagnetic balance of that region of ocean." "Can we be sure of any of this?" "No, we can't be sure, but if only a part of it is true..." "Look, people are still crossing the Atlantic." "The weather is hitting the state." "They've done absolutely nothing about warning anybody." "We've gotta do that." "What?" "You mean, like, hold a press conference?" "Like, go on TV and say the Navy's making it rain... and making ships disappear." "That's very good, Mr. Thomas." "Just like one of your articles." "Hey, you asked us to bring you an answer." "Well, we believe..." "The four of us believe that this might be your answer." "At least, all that we can uncover." "Only the Navy knows the rest." "Very well, then." "We shall ask them." "Them who?" "The Navy?" "Is Douglas still in town?" "I spoke with his adjutant just this morning." "Douglas?" "Douglas Wiest." "The Secretary of the Navy." "And he just happens to be in Florida right now." "Helen?" "Helen!" "Dylan." "No." "No." "No!" "Mr. Benirall, this way." "Wait here, please." "I'm gonna need more power on this side, guys." " What?" " Look at Benirall." "What about him?" "Eric." "Thank you." "Eric." "You look..." "I know how I look, Doug." "I'm sorry some of my people showed up at your office yesterday." "I didn't know until you told me." "If I'd known, I surely would have contacted you personally." "Well, as you can see, we've got a little something cooking here." "Oh, but, of course, that's..." "that's why you're all here, isn't it?" "I'm grateful you came to me." "So, tell me, what exactly is it you think that we are doing... out there in the Atlantic?" "They think you're performing some kind of test out there... some kind of weapons test." "We believe, sir, that you are screwing with... the molecular stability of that entire region." "Are any of you physicists?" "We may not have the expertise, but..." "But we damn well know what we saw." "What we were experiencing..." "Douglas, what the hell are you people up to?" "Have any of you heard of the Philadelphia Experiment?" "An experiment supposedly conducted in the 1940s." "Story goes that the Navy rigged one of its battleships... with giant electromagnets and then tried to mess with the molecular..." "With the ship's molecular fidelity." "Go on." "They were trying to make it invisible." "But, big surprise, everything went horribly wrong." "Sailors started disappearing independent of the ship." "There were even reports of some of them melting into the walls and deck." "But the Navy's always denied it." "The ship was the U.S.S. Eldrldge." "The year was 1943, the height of World War II." "The concept would, indeed, render the ship invisible." "So, are you saying the Navy's out there... trying to do the same thing again?" "Yeah, but if it didn't work the first time..." "Oh, it worked." "It just didn't work... the way the eggheads of that time expected it to." "And there was one other repercussion." "That's the secret we've been so carefully guarding all these years." "A tear." "A tear?" "What do you mean, tear?" "A dimensional tear." "As in... space-time?" "For some reason, it centered itself out in the south Atlantic." "That area has always been a nexus for unexplained phenomenon." "Damn it, Douglas." "If the Navy's always known this..." "If you've always known this, why haven't you warned anyone?" "I've lost ships..." "Ships?" "Hell, how many innocent people have been lost?" "Think about what you're asking." "A quarantine area over 14,000 square miles." "How, exactly, do you suggest that we do that?" "Well, you could begin by accepting responsibility... and blame for what you've done." "But... and you never do that, so..." "So, all these ships, planes, people... where have they gone?" "Through the tear." "Another dimension, another time." "So the Navy's actually known about the existence of the Bermuda Triangle... for years because they caused it?" "So why is it taking more of my ships now?" "Why are we having these visions?" "Because the tear has continued to expand exponentially... in size and intensity... since 1943." "You know, we were the people who first coined the phrase Bermuda Triangle." "Everybody always thought it came from some... journalist in the Sixties." "But, to us... the Triangle always represented that ever-expanding tear." "The increase in disappearances, the distortions in space-time... the aberrant weather... that is all because we are approaching something... that my people call the crux event." "We've known it was coming since 1971." "Back then, our scientists were able to extrapolate... the precise date and time in the distant future... when the event would arrive." "They determined it would occur... at 23:06 and 19 seconds Eastern Standard Time... today." "11:00 tonight?" "What's gonna happen?" "We have no real consensus, but every opinion from every expert... has always started with the rather colorful phrase..." ""God help us."" "Well, you sound pretty cavalier about it." "Because we are gonna stop it." "I've been part of the Navy Secretary's office for 46 years." "I've been the actual Secretary for the last 17 of those... through nine different administrations." "All because I took point on this project." "I was an ensign on the Eldrldge." "My entire career, everything I've done since that day... aboard that ship, has been aimed at one thing." "Finding a way to close Pandora's box." "What can you do to stop it?" "A back blast." "A back blast issued at a precise moment... before the crux event." "The tear will close permanently." "The Triangle gone... forever." "You know, other people have been affected... have been injured by what you're doing." "We're in a war here." "A war with the forces of nature herself." "Why tell us about this now?" "Because you've come as far as you have." "Because you know as much as you do." "And in less than 6 hours, this will be all over." "Even if you were insane enough to try to stop it... what could you do?" "Who could you possibly tell that matters?" "All we want to do is finally put an end... to this... nightmare that we ourselves began." "That's all we're trying to do." "So... what do you want to talk about?" "Well, the first question..." "do we believe him?" "You might have noticed the man's leg." "Could be an injury from some other thing." "You ever see another amputation at an angle like that?" "Enough about the leg." "Do we believe him?" "Certainly all fits, at least from what he told us." "They could be doing anything out there." "You know how many cover stories they come up with on a daily basis?" "What's his motivation for lying to us?" "What's his motivation for telling us the truth?" "Well, he's very proud of what he's doing." "I mean, if they are fixing this horrible wrong... that they created half a century ago... maybe he wants people to know about it." "He's dedicated his entire adult life to it." "Well, like the man said, we're certainly no threat." "Well, Benirall's the one that could make... the biggest stink for him." "Benirall seemed very relieved about something." "Guess we'll know at 11:00 tonight." "Yeah." "I wonder if anything'll be different... when we wake up tomorrow." "We'll know when we wake up and we're all missing a foot." "They don't know anything." "Wait a second." "I know exactly what's going to happen to us tomorrow." " What?" " We're gonna get our $5 million." " Come on." " We did it." "What we were contracted to do." "We brought Benirall his answer." " No, we didn't." " We led him to it." "We did." "Come on, people." "It's Miller time." "Imagine we wake up tomorrow... all of our crazy visions gone, the Triangle gone... everything back to normal." "Don't need normal." "Stable." "Whatever." "But $5 million richer, each." "The world is gonna change tomorrow." "Talk about stability." "Doesn't seem to matter whether it's mammal, reptile, or bird." "For some inexplicable reason, they're all in a highly, highly agitated state." "Dad?" "What are you doing here?" "Just checking in." "Wanted to see how you're doing." "OK, I guess." " Yeah?" " You could've just called." "No, no, I couldn't, 'cause I wanted to see you." "Have you talked to Mindy or Mom?" "I left messages." "Howard?" "You know, you... you can't just show up unannounced." " Mom." " It's OK, honey." "Do you think you could give me a couple minutes alone with your mom?" " Dr. Geller!" " Yes, Marie?" "We've been pulling data from multiple sources... and Darren started..." "You know Darren?" "First-year Darren." "Well, Darren started accidentally entering incorrect positional coordinates... and before he realized it, he'd pulled satellite data... from several other continents." "Listen, Marie, I really appreciate all your hard work... and everybody's hard work." "But most importantly, he also didn't clear the settings... after each array shift..." "OK, OK." "We can start dialing them back." "He was receiving multiple overlapping readings!" "I know it's normally a bad thing, but you should take a look at Darren's data." "I don't need to." "I've already got my answer." "I had it handed to me, actually." "Take a look at it anyway." "Or should I just send everybody home?" "Marie?" "Everybody stays." "There you are." "What about this weather?" "Hungry?" "Aww." "I know you don't like to eat with your boring old mom... but... well, I was hoping... you weren't planning to go back out on a night like this." "I'd like that very much." "Like I said, I can't give you all the details... it's just... it's too much." "And without all the details, you'd just flat-out think that I was nuts." "But..." "It's actually pretty credible." "Credible enough." "Credible enough." "Maybe it's more than just credible." "I don't know." "But the concept itself is huge." "I don't know." "This could be... the one." "This could be the big story." "Howard..." "Why are you here?" "Because... something may be happening tonight." "Nothing... nothing bad, I don't think... but..." "I just wanted to spend some time with you." "Something may be happening tonight?" "Could you be more cryptic?" "What?" "Nothing." "It's probably nothing, OK?" "On the other hand, after tomorrow, miracle of miracles... on account of because of this story, there may be the possibility... of some money coming my way." "Our way." "Howard." "Not positive." "It's just a possibility." "One of the aspects of this story has to do with temporal displacement." "The idea of multiverses, alternate paths... all the different directions a person's life can go." "For example, if you choose to drive down a certain street... you get in an accident." "But if you pick a different street or leave the house one second later... then you miss the accident and everything's fine." "Or you decide to ditch your college reunion... and go to some obscure foreign film." "You buy a Coke, which you then proceed to spill... all over the very pretty girl sitting on the aisle." "Or you choose to spend so much time working... that you don't listen." "You don't share yourself, your life, with the people that matter." "The lesson being, I guess, that... if there are all these different paths... then maybe it's not too late to change the one you're on." "Anyways..." "There may be some money in this story." "There." "That should do us." "Actually, it's quite nice." "So, where was I?" "Oh, bridge." "So, Donna bids three, no trump." "I mean, you know, that's Donna." "John thinks it's her hip medication." "Makes her..." "Well, kinda spacey." "No, hip, or knee?" "No, Donna's knee." "It's Caroline's hip." "Emmy, honey, what's the matter with you tonight?" "You've hardly taken a single bite." "You're not back on that crazy diet?" "Well, it can't be the food." "I know how you feel about lamb chops." "They've always been my favorite." "What is it with this weather?" "Well, by tomorrow, it should be over." "Oh, really?" "Did you hear that on the radio?" "Because everything I've heard... the weather people have no idea when it's gonna end." "Heard it from someone who seemed to know what he was talking about." "That doesn't sound like you." "What do your own instincts tell you?" "That he may be wrong." "That sounds more like my Emmy." "I'm gonna ask you a question." "It... may seem strange." "What's your name?" "My name?" "What do you mean, what's my name?" "I need to know your name." "Laura." "Laura Farrell." "Why?" "Why what, dear?" "Why would you give me up?" "Why did you..." "Give you up?" "What has gotten into you?" "For adoption." "Emily, now you're scaring me." "I would never, ever..." "When I was a week old." "Oh." "Oh, my God." "How did you..." "When your father abandoned me... just before you were born..." "I had no way to take care of you." "The nuns at the hospital and my father... wanted me to give you up." "I almost did." "Almost." "But I..." "I couldn't bring myself to do it." "Emily..." "I love you so very much." "At 37,000 feet, when their plane just began to drop." "Although still unconfirmed, an airline source told us... that the plane might have dropped almost the entire distance... free-falling for over 2 minutes before the crew... was able to regain control and level off throughout the entire southern half of the state... in a pattern that defies explanation." "In most cases, it is the complete grid that is failing." "With only sections... 11:06." "3 hours." "Can I help you?" "Hey..." "I interviewed you, right?" "You're the Greenpeace guy." "L..." "I don't know where else I can..." "Please help me." "What's this?" " It's the latest from the Pacific Rim." " And?" "They're registering a huge increase in tropospheric ozone." "50 points in the last hour." "What's the latest from the poles?" "Who's got the station in Antarctic?" "Dr. Geller!" "Bruce!" "This isn't just the Atlantic." "It's spreading everywhere." "What is happening?" "What if they're wrong?" "Way wrong." "Bruce, you gotta listen to me." "He's experiencing the same thing we are." "Yeah." "Yes." "I had never seen that little boy before in my life." "But we might be able to learn something from him." "He was my son." "My wife told me he was my son." "Based on the story he's telling... he's the damn poster child for everything that's been going on." "I started to care about him, and then he was gone." "And now my whole family's gone just like that!" "Now my house is empty and there's a "For sale" sign out front." " All right." " Nothing's making sense." "Come on!" " Look at this." " What?" "Pressure waves." "Pressure waves." "Waves aren't linear." " They're a pattern phenomenon." " Yeah, that can't be." "If the Philadelphia Experiment had caused a tear... that's a wedge phenomenon." "That's not a pattern." "Hey!" "This is Meeno." "Listen, we've got data that suggests, strongly suggests... that the events taking place around us cannot be caused by a tear." "It's traveling outwards, globally." "The Navy's had all their own people on this for decades..." "Yeah, decades means lots of turnover in staff... newbies coming on a project tend to accept... the assumptions of their predecessors." "Are you telling us the Navy doesn't know about this?" "You want to know how we know what we know?" " Yeah." " Pressure waves." "What?" "A ripple." "What if the Triangle effect could be rippling out from 1943?" "You toss a pebble in the lake and the effects ripple outward..." " from the point of origin..." " Whoa, whoa, whoa." "The effects are getting stronger." "A pebble in the lake, the ripples gradually diminish." "They don't increase." "If all this is the result of the Forties experiment... then it should have been strongest back then, not now." "But we're not talking about something moving in three dimensions." " It's traveling in..." " Four." "Time." "The fourth dimension is time." "So the effects of this more powerful event... could be moving forward and backward in time." "And the closer we get to the moment, it's..." "The stronger it gets?" "If that's true, then this back blast... the Navy's about to set off isn't gonna stop anything at all." "It's gonna cause it." "Sheedy's worst case scenario." "Everything could just cease to exist." "What do you mean?" "He means whatever's been happening to all those ships and planes... happens to everything." "So, what... what can we do?" "We tell them." "That's not going to work." "We've only got two hours." " You need more time." " How do we get that?" "You create it." "You get up in their faces so they can't set off... their... their whatever it is." "Confront them, head on." "Stop them." "With what?" "Hell of a boat!" "Must be your pride and joy." "My family was my pride and joy." "My son." "My sons." "I'm going down." "Are we almost there?" "We're cutting this really close!" "It's already after 11:00." "If this works, we need to know what to do first... what to say first." "We need to be prepared." "Are you laughing?" "I see!" "I finally see." "You remember that person I saw on the other side... of the mirror behind Benirall?" "Yeah?" "It's Winston!" "He has a brother." "Winston Benirall." "He disappeared on one of the family ships a few years ago." "That's what this whole thing has been about for Benirall." "It's about finding his brother." "You better get back up here!" "Oh, my God!" "The Navy, the scientists, they'd have to see that!" "That's what they think they're gonna stop!" "We've got company!" "Can you go any faster?" "!" "Bravo 1-7 engage at 7.4 Alpha." "Engaging, Bravo 1-7." "All right, Mr. Greenpeace, what now?" "Get below!" "Get below!" "We have to get close to where they're going." "Delta 1-5, fire at will." "Firing at will." "We lost power!" "We must be close to the site!" "We've lost power." "I'm getting no response." "Too late." "It's too late!" "Here you go, Doctor." "It's happening!" "Oh, my God!" "Howard, what are you doing?" "Howard, are you there?" "Hello?" "Do you want to leave a message for Dr. Geller or not?" "Hello, Mr. Thomas?" "Mr. Thomas?" "We're back." "Hang on." "My God, what is that?" " What's happening?" " Howard?" "Hang on." "Hey." "This is Carl Sheedy." "My God, what happened to you?" "Um..." "Where's Stan?" "He's dead." "Give me your phone." "Phone... need to..." "Let me use it." "Thanks." "I know what's going to happen." "I know everything that's going to happen." "I'm..." "What?" "What?" "I'm not crazy." "I'm not crazy." "I'm not making this up." "I'm not hallucinating." "Stan died over this." "I'm not about to let him down over this." "Hello, Ackerman?" "It's Howard Thomas." "Listen, we've got something, and I need to see Benirall right now." "Yeah, I know he's not there." "He's holed up in his office." "He's not seeing anybody." "He's..." "It doesn't matter how I know." "You tell him that we're coming by and we've got to see him now, all right?" "He'll see us, I know he will." "Ripples?" "Yes." "Yes." "It's rippling backwards." "You know this because you lived this before?" "Yeah." "Well, everything he's saying is possible." "Atoms aren't really solid at all." "They're loaded with space." "In fact, they're mostly space." "The only reason I can't put my hand through this car door... is because the door's atoms and mine are operating... on a mutually interactive frequency." "But if you could somehow... change the frequency of the atoms in your hand... your hand would or could theoretically pass right through that door." "Since we also see along the same frequency... visible light wave lengths, the door would also seem to disappear." "Any body would." "Like a ship or a plane." "It would continue to exist in some other dimension?" "So all the planes, the ships, all the people over all these years... they aren't gone?" "They may have simply... been knocked out of phase with our world... and actually continue to exist?" "Yes." "Theoretically." "Look, I know you want to see Mr. Benirall... but he's in no sh..." "Hey, who the hell is this?" " Mr. Benirall is not..." " There's been a new wrinkle." "Turn on the light." "Mr. Benirall..." "I'm gonna tell you something that's going to sound absolutely incredible." "But we have your answer." "We know what's causing the Triangle." "This could be the answer." "It fits." "The theory has to do with space-time, a ripple that travels backwards." "You have to believe us." "There isn't time for you not to believe us." "Glenfiddich in that, and I might drink it." "I've experienced this before." "We've been here like this before." "In just a couple of hours... the Navy is going to trigger something in the Atlantic." "Something that sets off some sort of massive chain reaction... that will change the world forever unless we do something." "We do have reason to believe that there is some facility... that's been built out in the Atlantic." "An enormous device underwater." "I know for a fact it was built." "Who are you?" "This is Carl Sheedy." "My partner and I, we developed the..." " You expect me to believe..." " Listen to me, please!" "Now, the Secretary of the Navy, Wiest, he's here in Miami." "You've got to get us in to see him." "What?" "He's here in town." "You know he is!" "You are truly out of your mind." "Wiest can stop this." "We've just got to explain it to him." "We've got to get Sheedy there." "I'm not letting you anywhere near the Secretary of the Navy." " You did it before!" " Get off him!" "Listen, you've got a brother..." "Winston." "He disappeared in the Triangle, didn't he?" "You've been trying to find him." "Well, he might still be alive." "Get out!" "Stopping what's about to happen could be your only chance... of ever knowing for sure." "We've got to stop this!" "Come on, mate." "Let's do this smart." "We need some sort of plan!" "Coming through." "I gotta see Wiest." " What took you guys so long?" " Hey, we almost left you in there." " What convinced you to bail me out?" " What if you're right?" "What time's this thing supposed to happen?" " Just after 11:00. 11:06." " That's less than 2 hours." "Benirall won't talk to us." "There's only one option left..." "the Greenpeace way." " Let me drive." " What?" "Massive flooding throughout South Beach... and surrounding areas has left hundreds stranded." "As this storm strengthens, voluntary evacuation has been..." "Hey!" "Meeno!" "Meeno!" "L..." "I was just coming to..." "Coming to see me." "Yeah, I know." "Listen, at the boat yard you've got a fast cigarette boat, right?" "Really fast one?" "This is all about getting him inside." "Whatever we do, we've got to get him inside." "Get you talking to your partner, to anyone who'll listen." "I can't believe we're doing this." "Hey, this is my second go." "What makes you think this time will be any different?" "We're a little earlier this time." "How early?" "20 minutes." "You better get back up here." "Deja vu all over again." "Navy... the scientists." "They'd have to have all seen this." "They think that's what they're going to stop." "Bravo 1-7 engage at 7.4 Alpha." "Engaging, Bravo 1-7." " Hey!" " What the hell are you doing?" "We've got to get away from them." "Got to get him closer!" "Closer to where they're setting this thing off!" "Hey, this was your idea." "Base, this is Nighthawk 3." "The craft is unidentified." "Please advise." "Attention, all departments." "We are at 18 minutes to primary event." "Stage 1 of 5 is now complete." "We are at Stage 2 and counting." "Repeat, Stage 2 of 5 and counting." " Dr. Osserman." " Welcome, sir." "We've got a Code 3, sir." "Do we have any sort of ID on the craft?" "No, sir." "Fast boat like that could be drugs." "This far out?" "They're within the zone, sir." "Shouldn't I notify project hierarchy?" "Now?" "Absolutely not." "Signal your people." "Authorize Action One." "Sir..." "Action One." "My direct order." "Do it." "Delta 1-5, fire at will." "Off!" "Everybody off!" "Everyone OK?" "OK." "Let's go!" "We know what you're doing here." "You've got to let us talk to someone." "Someone whose job it is other than to shove me!" "Hey, tell Osserman, Carl Sheedy is here." "Carl Sheedy!" "Tell him Dr. Sheedy's here." "Tell him he's got it all wrong." "Tell him!" "What are you looking for?" "Anything." "Stage 3, we are at Stage 3 of 5." "Seven minutes until primary event." "Seven minutes and counting." "Dr. Osserman." "What is it?" "Here?" "Can't be." "It's him." "How could he be..." "Somebody said a boat breached the perimeter." "Carl?" "In a boat?" "He said... he said you've got it all wrong." "We're too late." "No." "No." "We finish what we came here to do." "Stage 4." "We are now under three minutes and counting." "My God." "Carl." "I couldn't believe you..." "How did you..." "What in blazes are you doing here?" "Doctor, we have to talk to you." "What you're about to do, you have to stop." "Listen to them, Victor." "Is that what this is all about?" "Sir, we really have to get back." "You voiced your reservations years ago when you left the project... and now you're here, like this?" "My God, Carl." "Sir, please." "Doctor, we have data that you don't have." "You've got to listen to us." "It's vitally important." "Just listen to us for five minutes." "You think you're gonna fix a tear, but it's not a tear, it's a ripple!" "You're actually gonna cause the Triangle..." "You're about to end everything." "Victor, you and I, we argued." "Always." "Over everything." "Alforn-McAfee paper, remember?" "I thought we were going to kill each other." "But in the end, you were right." "And I was 100% wrong." "One of us was always right." "This time, Victor... you're wrong." "What the hell is going on here?" "On his authority, sir." "He said it was project specific." "Get 'em out of here!" "Now!" "No." " For God's sake, Victor." " Mr. Secretary, there's something..." "Are you the guy in charge here?" "Because you really need to listen to us." "Sir, we know what you're hoping to do here." "There isn't time to make you understand how we know, but we know." "You've gotta put the brakes on this thing." "You've gotta give us a chance to explain." "I know it seems crazy, sir, but it's possible, just possible." "Now wait just one minute." "You... now..." "You are suggesting now that..." "We are now under three minutes and counting." " Mr. Secretary!" " Final countdown..." "We know you were on the Eldrldge... and your leg, we know about your leg." "Listen, what you're about to do isn't going to stop the crux event... that you're so afraid of, it's going to cause it!" "You've got to shut it down!" "Sir, you've got to shut it down!" "You've got to listen to us!" "Thirty years we've known this was coming... we must countervail this crux event or we lose everything." "But you're wrong!" "Sir..." "We go." "No!" "You've got to listen to them!" " No!" " Don't!" " Stop!" " Sir!" "You don't know what's going on up there!" "Sir?" "There's something out there." "What?" "Anybody got a clue what's going on?" "We've made it." "We're officially within range of the coordinates he gave us... but now I strongly recommend we turn to... and get the hell away from whatever those things are." "Within range, and then we go all stop." "We're a methane tanker, full load." "138,000 cubic meters." "And those look electrical." "One of them gets close enough to this lady... there's gonna be a very, very big splash." "I said all stop!" "All stop." "She's a methane tanker." "Benirall Shipping." "Benirall?" "I don't give a damn about one ship." "It's methane." "If it goes, it takes this whole facility with it." "We're not talking about just this facility." "We're talking everything." "Don't trigger it." "Don't." "Sir, we don't have any solid proof to put before you... but you have to take us at our word." "Please, I'm begging you." "8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..." "We are at primary event." "I got more of them." "That's impossible." "Sea or air?" "Both." "There are dozens of them, maybe even hundreds... and they're not approaching." "We are at primary event, waiting for go." "What do you mean they're not approaching?" "They're just appearing all around us." "It's reversing." "It's reversing." "It's all the ships and planes that were taken by the Triangle." "That means it's over." "That..." "That means it's over." "That means it's over." "You weren't gonna do it." "We..." "We did it." "We closed the Triangle." "And more to the point... the Triangle never happens at all." "Never happened at all." "Forget it." "Hi, Daddy." "Tell Mama I'll be outside." "Hello?" "Hey, babe, look, I know I'm running late, OK?" "Egregiously late." "Who is this?" "OK, I totally deserve that." "I'll be there as fast as I can." "Faster, I promise." "I hope this means you still love me." "We're gonna be taking both of those kids to emergency." "What do you expect?" "After all, they're just like their father." "You slept all night in that chair again, didn't you?" "You know how bad that is for your leg." "I'll start breakfast." "Hello?" "Is anyone there?" "I'm calling for Laura Farrell." "Yes, who is this calling, please?" "It's about your daughter." "My daughter?" "I'm afraid you've mistaken me with someone else." "Who is this, please?" "Squishy." "Squishy." "I think you should think about moving out." " What are you doing?" " Hey, I don't want to move out." " The problems we've been having..." " All of the problems." "I want us to work them out." "I'm willing to do whatever I have to this time." "What do you mean, "this time"?" "Nothing's ever written in stone." "Thank you." "Hi." "Hi." "How's the family?" "They're good." "How's the boyfriend?" "It's not working out." "So, you're gonna stay?" "Stick with Gina and..." "Yeah... for now." "I must admit I only comprehend perhaps one percent... of what you've set down here." "I think, if I understand you correctly... your basic claim is that the four of you... entered some kind of arrangement with my company." "The basic tenet of which was that if you discovered... the secret behind something called the Bermuda Triangle... you would each receive $5 million." "Is that correct?" "You're Winston." "We really should be talking with your brother." "He's the one who made the offer, he'd be the one who remembered." "No, you are talking to the right person." "I am the company's chief financial officer." "Thank you, Ackerman." "Now, you referred to escrow accounts and bank deposit slips." "That's right." "Deposit slips." "We were given deposit slips." "Where are they now?" "We don't have them." "We didn't..." "Well, you see, I would remember that." "Indeed, I would have had to sign for sums that large." "So I thank you for your time." "I agreed to see you because collectively your credentials... and your reputations are such that..." "Listen, if we could only speak with your brother." "Yes, well, I've allowed you to waste my time... specifically so you wouldn't waste my brother's." "Frankly, this is all somewhat preposterous." "So good day." "The only reason you're here today is 'cause we changed the world." "Mr. Ackerman will see you out." "Hey, we remember." "It was worth a shot to see if Benirall did." "Yeah, but why do we remember?" "I mean, maybe it's everything we went through." "Maybe..." "Hey, you were dead, now you're alive." "That's how your world changed." "You came out great." "Me, I've got family, responsibilities." "And a bum leg." "Did you ever find out how that..." "Caught in a diving trip in the Aleutians." "This reality... not so lucky." "This reality." "Think we'll ever get used to saying that?" "This is our reality now." "Eventually, we'll get used to it." "Taxi." "What about Meeno?" "He's fine." "I talked to him this morning." "He's fine." "Well, that's it." "I guess this is good-bye... seeing as we never actually met." "Actually, I don't know that it's really over." "You know?" "I mean, like Wiest said... that part of the Atlantic's always been home to some strange phenomena." "Hey." "Coming to bed?" "Yeah." "I'll be there in a minute." "OK."

"So, who started it?" "No comment." "No comment." "No comment." "No comment." "No comment." "No comment." "No comment." "Now cut this shit." "Charge us or let us go." "No comment." "'Family values are at the core of everything we do." "'Aren't they, Bobby.'" "Come on, jerkface!" "Come on..." "Sorry we're late!" "Sorry!" "Traffic was awful!" "'We're just one big happy family here." "And that includes our staff." "'Hi." "My name's Lori McBride, 'and I want to welcome you to the best summer of your life." "'Come to Beaver Falls!" "'Heck, I liked it so much, I bought the place!" "'" "Hit the lights." "Oh, thank God you boys made it." "I was worried maybe the brakes on your car had failed, and you'd plunged to your deaths down some godforsaken ravine." "OK." "Listen up!" "What does our change in ownership mean to you?" "Nice!" "Absolute zip." "I'm still camp director, and when I say, "Jump," you say, "How high?"" "Yada yada." "Enjoy yourselves, and try not to get pregnant." "That is all." "Can you see her?" "Bobby, Bobby!" "I don't see her." "Not a chance, mate." "Hey, I am in with a chance!" "We've been emailing each other a lot, actually." "I Moonpigged her on her birthday and everything." "Yeah." "Is that a euphemism?" "Wow." "Four syllables." "That has got to be a record for the pretty boy." "Why are you down on me hooking back up with Kimberley?" "We don't want you wasting your summer again." "I did not waste last summer!" "Come on." "It was a two-month wild goose chase, topped off with a five-minute pity fuck." "OK." "A - it was not a pity fuck." "And B..." "There's no way it lasted five minutes." "Hmmm." "Oh...!" "Oh, hey, Kimberley." "Yeah, we're good." "Yeah, thanks for asking!" "Nice beard." "Come on, these dweebs are cramping your style." "Yeah." "Completely." "Actually, they're the reason I never got laid at uni." "Bye." "Oh!" "And so it begins." "Where the hell are you going?" "Out, my love." "Bobby, there are a million and one things to do before tomorrow." "I know." "Here's a radical thought - why don't you do 'em?"

"Hey, is it because you like underage girls?" "Oh, no, no." "It's because you're a bisexual Nazi sympathiser, right?" "Oh, no, what am I saying?" "It's because you think you have a big dick." "Look, I never called myself Flynn." "But if you like, you could give me an independent assessment." "Hi." "Hey!" "A-Rab?" "Wow." "What a surprise." "I didn't realise you'd be back." "Well, yeah." "Your restraining order expired, so here I am." "You look good." "Thank you." "That's very lovely of you to say." "You... also look good." "Yeah." "That sounds really convincing with a big pause in the middle." "Honestly?" "I'm not sure about the beard." "Everyone hates the beard." "Yeah, I mean, Flynn even put a bounty on it." "£50 to the person that shaves me while I'm sleeping." "How's he doing, by the way?" "What's with the cast?" "He's lost the arm now." "It's OK, he's using it as a chat-up line." "He reckons women find men who've had accidents attractive." "Right." "OK." "Uh, I wasn't going to..." "I've been thinking about you... a lot." "A-Rab..." "Don't." "Just let me finish." "I was going to say something really smart and funny..." "A-Rab, please... but nothing I could think of was smart or funny enough." "So, I'll just say it straight." "I would really like..." "Hey, babe!" "Hey!" "Um... this is A-Rab, a friend from last year." "A-Rab." "This is Mac, my husband." "H-H-Husband..." "Wow..." "Congratulations." "So, what do you think?" "What do I think?" "I think that, um... you should just lie back and close your eyes... and just enjoy yourself." "Well, if you insist." "I wouldn't usually do this on a first date." "I don't want you getting the wrong idea about me." "What are you doing?" "I'm sorry, I couldn't resist." "What, you thought I was just going to blow you?" "Come on, this isn't funny." "Oh, no, believe me, really, it is." "Seriously, I can't swim." "My arm's fucked." "Oh!" "Why don't you just use your amazing penis?" "What are you doing?" "Uh... it's not what it looks like." "So, what is it, then?" "Uh..." "Angry Birds?" "Look." "Wait." "Arghhh!" "Fuck." "Kim, please!" "Argh!" "Don't go!" "I'm deleting it, I promise!" "Kim, just...!" "Man, talk about crash and burn." "Yeah." "Me too." "I am so going to have a crank tonight." "Sod that." "Kids arrive tomorrow, yeah?" "Let's make the most of our last night of freedom." "Let's get out of here." "Let's get out of here and get so fucked up that we don't even remember what it was we were depressed about." "Can I come?" "So, what's a "crank"?" "Crank." "Verb." "To wank whilst crying." "A misery wank." "An A-Rab special." "Shut up, Barry." "Perfect." "Boys, this is just what we need." "This is going to be amazing." "I don't know what to say." "I didn't tell you about him cos I thought there was no way they would be here." "Anyway, there's not much to tell!" "It was like kinda off and on, and way more off than on." "Like, minimum 80% off." "And the 20% on was like 75% arguing." "OK." "Rach." "Breathe." "You're starting to freak me out." "I've known you since we were 13, and I've never seen you like this." "I'm starting to get paranoid." "Because he's clearly still hung up on you, I'm thinking maybe you still..." "No!" "No!" "It was nothing." "Hey, why don't we stop looking at this as a bad thing, and start looking at it as this great anecdote to tell to our grand-children?" "You know, when we're old, and we've lived this long happy life together, we can tell the story about how we accidentally went on honeymoon with my ex for two months." "And they will be like, "Ah, Grandpa, you are the most wonderful man" ""for being so understanding about all of it."" "I just..." "I just need you to be honest with me." "Cos I don't care where you've been, what you did." "As long as you love me." "OK?" "Was that a Backstreet Boys lyric?" "Damn." "I hate it when that happens." "Hey." "Where are you going?" "I'm going to go see him." "Why?" "No, no, what for?" "It'll make me feel better." "Yeah, yeah, but you have all summer to feel better!" "Yeah, but this is private, and the kids arrive tomorrow and it's going to get a whole lot tougher to get any privacy." "Exactly!" "The kids arrive tomorrow." "And we are meant to be on our honeymoon." "Just give me ten minutes to talk to him." "Oh, he's gone out." "Hope?" "!" "You scared the crap out of us." "How long have you been there?" "Ooh, a while, you guys are really sweet together." "Uh, thanks." "Oh, um, I heard the Brits talking and they've gone to a bar to drown their sorrows." "I know where they've gone so I can take you." "No." "Yeah." "Great, let's go!" "You know what's great about this?" "This is real." "This is the America we missed out on last year cos we never left that bloody camp," "Because we were wasting our time with bloody girls." "This year is going to be different, we're going to travel." "You, me and the monkey." "Like it should be." "How'd you like them apples?" "She's all I've ever dreamt of, you know, and I totally fucked it." "Well, son, I ain't pretending to be no expert, but seems to me this is about feminism." "So how comes you got a nice, little picture of her titties, and she ain't got shit?" "Yeah." "What happened to me?" "I used to be cool." "Now I'm just pouncing on nerds." "Oh, speak of the devil." "Oh, Barry!" "See?" "See what I'm working with?" "Is that?" "Yes." "Oh my god, that's amazing." "He actually sent you a photo of his cock as an apology." "I am liking this guy more with every move, I've got to say." "Oh come on, it's more original than flowers, right?" "Why can't he just be normal?" "Cos if he was just like the others, then he would be just like the others." "Hey, if you guys see Bobby can you cover for us?" "Apparently, we're going to find the Brits." "Ooh!" "Can we come?" "What?" "You need to talk to him, I want to meet him." "What are we waiting for?" "No, PJ..." "Come on." "Come on." "I mean, getting married at our age?" "That's just weird." "What's he got that I haven't got?" "Maybe he's fun?" "I'm fun!" "Look around, man." "Look around!" "This is my idea!" "And this is fun!" "I'm the fun, fucking machine." " He's going to get naked, isn't he?" " Oh, yeah." "Shit!" "Quick - hide." "You ain't going to see much from down there, boys." "Lori?" "!" "What a surprise!" "I had no idea..." "I usually find turning up unannounced works best if I want to see how my business's really work." "Do you mind if we take a look around?" "It is almost midnight." "Where's Bobby?" "Hello, Boo-boo." "Hello, Yogi Bear." "You want to come zip me in?" "Ah, with pleasure." "Come on." "The mind literally boggles." "Shit." "Who invited her?" "Shit." "Yep." "Knew it'd work." "Used the worm as bait, and now it's time to reel her in." "Hi." "Doesn't the lodge look beautiful all lit up?" "So romantic." "Tell me, how are those cost reports I asked for coming along?" "You know, Bobby and I got married on this very spot." "Really?" "Yeah." "Gee, Pam, I'd love you to not show me the photos of that?" "But instead show me the cost report." "You know, the one I keep asking for?" "I'm afraid that's more of a Bobby question." "So... are we good?" "Oh, my God, he's the penis guy..." "Uh?" "Funny, isn't it?" "You see a penis, you imagine a face." "Sorry, you are...?" "Big fans of your work." " What are you even doing here?" " That's not very friendly, is it?" "I can't believe you told them." "That was supposed to be private!" "Yeah." "Well, so are my tits." "Didn't stop you from taking a picture." "Well, let's see how you like it then." "Excuse me, gents?" "Who would like to see...?" "Hey, you said you deleted it!" "You know what, Barry?" "I didn't come here to argue." "Kim!" "You know why you got married?" "Cos you're boring." "Oh yeah, because you are such a party guy." "Hope, can you please, leave us alone, this is private!" "Oh, sorry, I was just..." "Jeez, Rach, stop being such a bitch." "Hey, no, no, no you do not talk to my wife like that!" "I don't want to talk to you anyway!" "I was having fun before you showed up!" "Know what?" "You're boring." "And you're boring!" "And you're... very pretty." "Oh, thank you!" "Got an unnaturally small penis myself, truth be told." "Yeah?" "A-ha." "Tiny, little thing." "In high school, they used to call me Chip." "Chip Millidick." "Worst time of my..." "OK, Barry." "Take two." "Hey, missy, you mind fucking off?" "You're interrupting a moment here." "Sorry, who are you?" "This is Chip." "Don't call me Chip." "Don't ever call me Chip." "Sorry, I thought..." "Well, you thought wrong, son." "This the bitch causing the heartache?" "Ooh, now that's not..." " What did you call me?" " I called you a bitch, bitch." " Hey, you probably shouldn't..." " You're a fucking moron, Chip." "Ah." "I think we've established he doesn't like being called Chip." "You're lucky, missy, cos I don't hit women." "So I'm going to punch your boyfriend." "Just try it." "Shit!" "The guy's got back up." "Lookie, a one armed Jonas Brother!" "Boys?" "A-Rab!" "Mate, wherever you are, we could do with a hand." "Your move, Bieber." "All right." "Wooo!" "Yeah!" "Let's get this party started!" "When I say Tuna, you say Town!" "Tuna!" "Town!" "Don't you touch my husband!" "You can thank me later." "Again that's more of a Bobby question." "Ah, what a surprise." "Well, here's one you might be able to deal with." "What exactly do you do here, Pam?" "No?" "No?" "OK, here's another." "Where the hell is your husband?" "Like I said, his prayer meeting sometimes runs over." "What are you doing here?" "It was just some peanuts..." "You lot were doing all the kicking and the punching." "Oh, God, what have I done?" "Chip." "Please, don't die." "Chip!" "I didn't know you were allergic." "Don't... call me..." "Chip." "Police, nobody move!" "Hands where I can see them!" "OK, seriously, you can put me down now." "Get off me!" "Get off me, pig!" "I know my rights, man." "I want my phone call!" "Give me my phone call!" "Right, who's been arrested before?" "No, OK, look we're fine so long as nobody talks, OK?" "It's our word against theirs." "Hold on, are you saying you've been arrested before?" "Jeez, Dad, spare me the lecture." "Dad?" "So, who started it?" "No comment." "No comment." "No comment." "Who started it, Barry?" "Umm..." "This loyalty you're showing?" "It's touching." "Shame your friends ain't returning the favour." "No comment." "No comment." "You some kind of transvestite, son?" "No comment." "Sequins turn you on?" "No comment." "See, Adil's telling us it was you that started it, Barry." "He wouldn't." "Wouldn't he?" "How you going to get with her if you're in jail, huh?" "No comment." "She's not going to wait for you." "Nah, some other guy's going to be slipping it to her." "Again and again and again, oh, God, right there, do me, do me, do me in every conceivable position." "Adil Hussain, it was Adil Hussain, just like you said." "Excuse me?" "Officer?" "Officer!" "Um, hi... here's the thing." "I was really drunk earlier and I'm sobering up now." "But I was thinking that what happened tonight might have been slightly different from what I said before." "Oh, you mean when you rolled over, ratted your friend out?" "Is there any way that we could maybe erase the tape and do a take two?" "Oh no, wait!" "Have you slept with my daughter?" "No." "Good." "Cos I'm going to say this once only." "Last summer you screwed my wife, but you won't be soiling any member of my family this year." "And as far as my daughter is concerned," "Old Testament rules apply." "You look at her, you lose an eye." "You lay a finger on her, you lose a hand." "And you sleep with her?" "I get to fulfil an ambition of mine." "Understand?" "OK, I've had an hour's sleep so if we could just skip the lecture?" "Lori showed up last night." "OK." "And?" "And?" "The camp was in chaos." " Look if she wants to come down to my camp..." " Her camp." "Swinging her dick around, fine, let her." "Cos I will not be intimidated by that dick." "I will look it in the eye and say," ""You know what you spent your money on, Lori?" ""Me." "I'm the talent." "I'm Beaver Falls."" "I'll dazzle her with the Old Bobby Magic." "Her words, remember?" "Not mine." "Oh!" "The tag allows us to monitor you at all times by GPS." "You stray more than a mile from camp, it goes off." "You'll be subject to random drug tests, and a curfew." "Break any of these conditions, and you will go to county jail." "Sign here." "Hold on a minute, am I the only one getting charged with anything?" "Goddammit, who talked?" "I mean, this is bullshit." "We went out on a limb for them." "The only reason they're back is cos we gave them references." "And where are they?" "Lori!" "Great to see you!" "Have you had your hair done?" "You look lovely." "Bobby, where have you been?" "Oh, you smell like a brewery." "I am so looking forward to today." "We're going to have a great time." "Shall we?" "Yes!" "Isn't this exciting?" "We're all back at Beaver Falls!" "YES!" "Thurston." "Seriously." "Volume, yeah?" "Some of us have got hangovers." "Look at the state of that." "What the hell happened to you?" "What?" "Oh, yeah, I'm a..." "I'm goth now." "Yeah?" "What does that involve?" "Oh, you know, loads of... dark shit." "Dark, fucked up shit." "So, who's the new kid?" "He's Mau-reece and she's Clarissa." "And guess whose sister she is?" "It ain't funny." "This shit is wack." "Oh, stop talking in that ridiculous way, Hillary." "I told you, don't call me that." "You're just trying to impress your friends." "Hillary?" "Your real name's Hillary?" "Hey." "On your side, sister." "I really admire the stand you're making." "Refusing to conform." "In your face, Beaver Falls." "Is he always like this?" "You know, raging against the machine?" "Yep." "Unless the machine's a donut maker." "Jake's here to see you." "Jake!" "Great!" "You'll love Jake." "The best counsellor ever." "Bobby!" "Oh, God, is it ever good to see you?" "Come here, big guy." "Oh." "Yes." "Pammy!" "Come here, you!" "Oh!" "God, it is so good to be back." "Yeah." "Jake, this is Lori McBride." "Hey." "Absolute pleasure." "Yeah, you feel that?" "Making that connection." "Jake, maybe we can talk later?" "Yeah, yeah, no, that's totally cool." "I just came by to check that, you know, we were... copacetic?" "Didn't want you panicking." "About my meltdown." "Yeah, cos I realised there was some mild violence and everything." "But since last summer, I've been to therapy and I am making great big steps." "I've got all these ideas for the summer." "You know, maybe a drumming circle out in the woods?" "Like, a shamanic thing?" "Oh, yeah, great." "No, just stop!" "STOP!" "Argh!" "What did you glue them with?" "I don't know." "I was drunk." "Look at the state of me." "I know you can't go far with the tag, but at least you get to hang out with us more!" "So it's not that bad." "No." "Apart from the curfew." "And the drug tests." "And the three grand it's cost me, which basically means my summer's fucked, yeah, you're right... it's not that bad!" "Fuck's sake, Maurice!" "What are you doing?" "It's Maur-reece." "I don't care!" "Why are you filming?" "In case Michael Moore wants to make a documentary about us." "In our struggle for justice." "We'll fight all the way to the Supreme Court if we have to." "Fight what?" "The racist police conspiracy." "Dude, stop conspiracising!" "It ever occur to you that maybe someone just ratted him out?" "Like who?" "I don't know." "Who would want to screw him over?" "Mac." "I bet it was fucking Mac!" "We got married here, too, right over there on the island." "Was one of the happiest days of our..." "Lives." "Yes." "I heard." "Boo-boo!" "Hey, Boo-boo, it's Yogi." "Over here!" "Bobby, is that woman talking to you?" "Bobby!" "Nah, I don't think so." "I found your watch!" "We're a little busy here now." "Sorry, who is this?" "It's a cleaner." "One of our cleaners." "You son of a bitch." "Come back!" "OW!" "You OK?" "Hey." "Come on." "That's right - take your grandma back to the farm!" "Lads, do us a favour and fuck off, eh?" "We don't schedule the first day." "It works better that way." "All right." "Come on faster, Thurston." "More lube?" "It's important for the campers to really bond with their counsellor." "Each bunk has its own little initiations." "All good clean fun." "Ah, the laughter of happy campers." "Laughter never fails to raise the human spirit." "Oh, my God." "That is literally the ugliest thing I ever saw!" "Give me that." "What the hell is this?" "Well, I believe that's a penis." "A...a male penis." "Only smaller." "Eh, leave this with me, Lori." "Girls, whose penis is this, please?" "Who does this penis belong to?" "Him, there." "Barry!" "Is this your penis?" "Where'd you get that from?" "Well, answer me, damn it." "How did these girls get their hands on your penis?" "Bobby, it's my fault." "I left my phone lying around." "No." "Blame me." "I sent the picture." "See, I think what happened was, Barry was in this bar called Tuna Town Roadhouse." "And..." "OK, I think we've heard enough!" "We will discuss this later to save your blushes in a private setting." "Shall we continue, Lori?" "You'll have to excuse him." "He's British." "Oh, hey, A-Rab!" "Over here!" "How's the hangover?" "Uh, not good." "I'm currently at the corner of Nausea Drive and Shame Boulevard." "That's so funny." "Like an address." "Uh, so I was wondering if I can ask you something?" "Did you mean it last night when you said I was pretty?" "I said that?" "Well, no, I mean, I don't remember saying it." "But doesn't mean it wasn't true." "So, where were you going?" "I was going to go find the bastard who gave me this." "Oh, good." "Cos I think it sucks." "You getting the blame for everything." "I mean, everyone was fighting, not just you." "In fact, you actually did less fighting than everyone else cos you got hit and you just fell over right away." "So, who do you think it was?" "It was Mac." "Really?" "Mac?" "But he seems so nice." "Yeah." "But apparently he's the sort of wanker..." "OK, I am not going to stand here and listen to you spread shit about Mac." "Oh, my God, were you eavesdropping?" "Don't you dare!" "And you!" "I am sorry if you still have feelings for me." "But that is not Mac's fault." "And I'm sorry that you have that ankle tag." "But that is also not Mac's fault." "And how do you know?" "Because it was Barry." "Bollocks." "You don't believe me?" "You think that I'm the kind of person that would spread that around?" "It was your friend that stabbed you in the back, not my husband." "So why don't you run off and go find the bastard that gave you that tag, just like you said you were going to do." "Oh, my God, you are such a shit-stirrer." "A-Rab!" "Hey, A-Rab, wait!" "Wait up!" "A-Rab!" "Oh, is your dad around?" "I've got his watch." "I'll make sure he gets it." "OK, Flynn, hold up." "There is a... faint possibility that I may have been wrong about you." "It's possible that you're not such a total asshole after all." "Is that your idea of a compliment?" "Yeah." "I have this condition." "Relentless Wiseass Syndrome." "Basically, my body doesn't produce the proteins required for sincerity." "Oh, you can smile, but it's very serious." "There are support groups and everything." "Wow." "Sounds awful." "Why does my dad hate you so much?" "Does he?" "Yeah." "Trust me, he can't stand you." "Maybe it's his daughter's debilitating illness has left him all fucked up and bitter." "If he hates me that much, then you'll probably want me to go." "So I'll go." "Is that what you want?" " You're forgetting something." " What?" "There." "Deleted." "Your turn." "You know explorers from, like, ages ago?" "When cameras were huge?" "And they're climbing up Everest and they haven't got enough food to eat and they're drinking their own piss and stuff?" "But still, they're lugging that big fuck-off camera with them cos they know that that is going to be the greatest moment of their lives." "Well, that's what this is." "Barry, it's a picture of my tits." "Just get rid of it." "Look, I've dated a lot of guys since last summer." "Oh, all right, no need to rub it in." "Guys who should be perfect for me." "And they bored me shitless." "Cos none of them were like you." "Right." "What does that mean?" "It means, let's start this summer over." "I don't want to argue, I don't want to get serious." "I just want to have fun." "With you." "How does that sound?" "You do know I've never had a proper girlfriend, right?" "I know." "And I don't care." "It's just, that you can't buy a puppy cos it's cute and does stupid stuff, then complain when it shits on the carpet." "Do you see what I'm saying?" "But you can train a puppy." "So, let me train you." "Let me give you Boyfriend 101." "Hmmmm..." "There'll be a practical." "In that case, you may kiss me." " Wanker!" " Ow!" "A-Rab!" "It was you!" "You fucking grassed on me!" "Argh!" "Can we not do this here?" "No, let's do it here." "Let's let her see what you're really like." "I'm sorry, OK?" "I was drunk." "And I was tired." "We all were!" "You didn't even have the decency to admit it." "I just made a dick of myself in front of Rachael." "Oh, I get it." "That's what this is about." "No, that is not what this is about." "This is about me and you." "What do I get from you?" "Seriously?" "I'm not your mate, am I?" "I'm just a cash machine." "I pay for everything." "Your rent, your flight." "And I've always got your back, and you've never got mine." "You just take and take." "I spent a year working my arse off..." "Oh, here we go." "While you sat around wanking..." "Not true." "And playing your stupid computer games like a fucking child." "I'm not sitting around." "I'm caring for Flynn." "He doesn't need a carer yet." "Yeah?" "How would you know?" "You're never there." "You know what?" "Using him as an excuse is pathetic." "Do you know what's pathetic?" "Putting on a suit and thinking you're it." "At least I get dressed in the morning." "Oh, look at me with my Blackberry and my socks that match and my dead soulless stare!" "You're just a waste of skin." "Yeah, that's right, Barry." "If you look upset enough, you might just get another pity fuck out of it." "Screw you!" "Yeah." "Screw me." "Screw you." "Whatever." "So, are you still having a bad time?" "Awful, just awful." "Can I offer you a drink, Lori?" "No, thank you." "I have a plane to catch." "Of course." "Maybe you'd like a Beaver Falls t-shirt to take home." "Not really." "No." "Oh, hi, Dad." "I was just checking on some emails." "Lori, I'd like to introduce our daughter." "Pam Junior's just got back from a year out in Europe." "Broadening the mind, etc." "It's lovely to meet you." "Would you excuse us, please?" "Oh, sure, yeah." "I'd just finished anyway." "Thank you, honey." "Have a seat, Lori." "So, how do you think today went?" "Well, apart from some minor start-of-summer blips, all par for the course." "Other than that, all good." "That's interesting, because I thought it was pathetic." "You have our sincere apologies." "We promise, anything you're unhappy with we will rectify." "Immediately." "If I may, please don't tell me how to do my job." "I have been here 25 years." "This is my camp." "No, Bobby, it's mine, and the sooner you wrap your head around that, the better." "The pair of you have until the end of this summer." "And if I don't see a big improvement, you are both fired." "You're right." "I took my eye off the ball." "I apologise." "Please, Lori, give me another chance." "My mother... died a few weeks back, and it hurt." "Grief is a road every man must travel on his own." "And at his own pace." "But I've walked my road, Lori." "Give me another chance and I will not let you down." "Good, I'm glad to hear it..." "I'll walk you to the car." "OK." "Oh, and Bobby?" "I did my due diligence." "Your mother died 12 years ago." "Shit." "Do you think I went too far?" "No, I thought you were amazing." "When you had him up against the wall I was like, "Go, A-Rab, punch him." ""Punch him in the face."" "You know why you're worried?" "Because you're such a good person." "I think you and me are really alike." "I feel like we connect, don't you?" "Uh, yeah." "People hate the pure of heart." "I mean, look at Jesus." "They were horrible to him." "I'm not really religious, but often when I'm sad, like when those bitches threw me out of the sorority," "I think, what would Jesus do?" "And it really helps." "You got thrown out of a sorority?" "I was bored of it anyway." "Just a bunch of two-faced sluts." "I've grown." "As a person." "And if people can't accept that, then they aren't my friends, are they?" "Wow." "You are a great kisser." "I don't think Barry deserves you." "There." "I've said it." "'It's all gone wrong, Pammy,' and now the Brits are back and they already made me look stupid in front of Lori." "Bobby, you made yourself look stupid." "Have you got any idea what this is like for me?" "Smiling, pretending to Lori that we're the perfect couple?" "That we embody those family values she's so obsessed with?" "And every day I have to see that man who cuckolded me, and act like I'm OK?" "Well, I'm not OK, Pammy!" "Last night when I saw PJ with him, it made me physically sick." "I mean, what if he sleeps with her?" "He wouldn't." "Oh, I think he would!" "Maybe I should just tell her, huh?" ""Oh, honey, don't go there." "Your mother already has." ""Oh, and by the way, he's not the first." ""In fact, guess what?" "I'm not even your father!"" "Don't you dare!" "She has a right to know who her father is!" "Bobby, look at me." "Look at me!" "Stop panicking." "We don't need to tell PJ anything." "Not right now." "Concentrate on the camp." "We just need to get the magic back." "Find the old Bobby." "You hate the old Bobby." "No..." "I don't." "I admire him." "His drive." "His attention to detail." "His organisational skills." "His time-keeping." "You said it yourself." "You are Beaver Falls." "Yes?" "I want to swap bunks." "Hey, how's the buffet going?" "I hear they're serving humble pie." "Mate." "This is nuts!" "Why are you moving out?" "Barry's doing my fucking head in." "You said yourself the summer was about the three of us." "You, me and the monkey." "It's always been the three of us, right through uni." "Mate, we're not at uni any more." "We can't just stand still and pretend we are." "I'm growing as a person, and if you can't accept that, then you're not my mate." "What the fuck are you talking about?" "I got told to report here?" "Excellent!" "Boys, this is Mac." "Well, you'll like him, he's..." "he's one of us." "Hi." "I brought marshmallows." "Hi, dude." "Come on in." "Come on." "Welcome." "A-Rab?" "I've found a website." "I reckon I can hack that ankle tag if we..." "What?" "What's going on?" "A-Rab's moved out." "You're kidding me?" "Said he'd rather eat his own shit than be around you." "Ah, great." "You're all together!" "One big happy family!" "You know what?" "I have a feeling this is going to be a great summer." "See, I can't fire you." "But I can fuck you around." "And I'm really going to enjoy that." "An awful lot." "See you later, boys." "Today is the day we open our doors, and our hearts, to the residents of the Yuba City Juvenile Detention Center." "Hello, Flynn." "She's not my girlfriend, we can do what we want." "Remember I said I had a little surprise for you..." "He's your new brother." "I thought you meant a new rabbit." "Come on, bitch." "Go faster!" "Who the fuck is worse off than me?" "!" " Flynn." "He's dying." " Flynn is dying?" "I just don't want her to know." "So drop it!" "I'm going to have to ask you to step down as camp guidance counsellor." "Did somebody put you up to this?" "You know, you two can sort this shit whenever you want." "This is all his fault." "I should have slapped you." "Get the fuck out." "I've had it up to here with you."

"Okay, I checked." "We have Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Cinnamon Stick Chamomile, Mint Medley, Blackberry and" "Wait, there's one more." "Lemon Soother!" "You're not the guy that asked for tea, are you?" "The One Where The Monkey Gets Away" "Mail call!" "Rachel Greene, bunk seven." "Thank you." "Oh, cool!" "A free sample of coffee." "Oh, good." "Because where else would we get any?" "Oh, right." "Oh, great." "What is it?" "Country club newsletter." "My mother sends me the engagement notices for inspiration." "Oh, my God!" "It's Barry and Mindy!" "Barry, who you almost" "And Mindy, your maid of" "Let me see." "That's Mindy?" "She is pretty!" "Lucky to have had a friend like you." "Now it's quiet time." "Marcel, bring me the rice." "Come on." "Good boy." "Give me the rice." "Thank you." "Good boy." "He's mastered the difference between "bring me the" and " pee in the."" "" Bring me the" and-- Rach?" "Oh, I'm sorry." "This is so stupid!" "I mean, I gave Barry up, right?" "I should be happy for them." "I am. I'm happy for them." "Really?" "No." "I guess it would be different if I were with somebody." "Whoa, what...." "What happened to " Forget relationships!" "I'm done with men!"" "The whole penis embargo?" "I don't know." "It's not about no guys." "It's about the right guy." "With Barry it was safe and easy, but there was no heat." "With Paolo, all there was, was heat." "lt was this raw, animal, sexual" "Right. I got it." "I was there." "Do you think you can have both?" "Someone who's your best friend but also can make your toes curl." "Yes." "Yes, I do. I really do." "In fact, it's funny." "Often, someone you wouldn't think could curl your toes might just be the one who gets interrupted." "How was the movie?" "Wonderful!" "So good!" "Suck fest." "Total chick flick." "I'm sorry it wasn't one of those movies with guns and bombs and buses going really fast!" "I don't need violence in a movie as long as there's a little nudity." "There was nudity." "l meant female nudity." "I don't need to see Lou Grant frolicking." "Hugh!" "Hugh Grant!" "All right, I've got to go." "Come on, Marcel." "We're gonna go take a bath." "Yes, we are, aren't we?" "They're still just friends, right?" "And I will see you tomorrow." "You're gonna spend tomorrow at Aunt Rachel's." "Does Aunt Monica get a say in this?" "Please, Aunt Monica, please?" "Unclench." "You're not even gonna be here." "l can't believe we're discussing this." "l agree. I'm, like, in disbelief." "If it was gonna happen, wouldn't it have happened already?" "She said she wants a relationship with someone exactly like me." "She said that?" "I added the " exactly like me" part." "But she's looking for someone." "And someone will be there tonight." "" Tonight" tonight?" "It's perfect." "It'll just be the two of us." "She spent all day taking care of my monkey." "I can't remember the last time a girl took care of my monkey." "Anyway, I figured after work, I'd pick up some wine go over there and try to woo her." "lKnow what you should do?" "Take her back to the 1890s when that phrase was last used." "If you keep this up, you'II be finished by the weekend." "The one in the feathered boa is Dr. Francis." "Now, she used to be a man." "Look, there's Raven." "We hate her." "We're glad she's dying." "And then-- What?" "Marcel!" "Are you playing with Monica's shoes?" "You're not supposed to" "Marcel, did you poo in the shoe?" "Oh, Marcel!" "Bad monkey!" "Oh, God!" "Sorry, Barry." "A little engagement gift." "I'm sure you didn't register for that." "Who died?" "Who died?" "Roll him over!" "Come on, roll him over!" "Well, we know it wasn't Dexter, right, Marcel?" "Because" "Marcel?" "How could you lose him?" "l don't know!" "We were watching TV, he pooped in Monica's shoe...." "Wait." "He pooped in my shoe?" "Which one?" "I don't know." "The left one!" "Which ones?" "Those little clunky Amish things you think go with everything." "Why is the air in here so negative?" "Rachel lost Marcel." "Oh, no!" "How?" "He pooped in my shoe." "Which one?" "The cute black ones I always wear." "No, which one?" "The right or left?" "Because the left one is lucky." "Come on!" "What am I gonna do?" "All right." "You're a monkey." "You're loose in the city." "Where do you go?" "It's his first time out, so he'll do touristy things." "I'll go to Cats." "You go to the Russian Tea Room." "Oh, my God!" "Come on, you guys!" "He'll be home any minute." "He's gonna kill me!" "Search the building." "Take the first floor." "We'll take the rest." "What am I gonna do?" "You stay here and wait by the phone." "Spray Lysol in my shoe and wait for Ross to kill you." "Does anybody want to trade?" "What do you want?" "Mr. Heckles, have you seen a monkey?" "I left a Belgian waffle out here." "Did you take it?" "Why'd you leave it in the hall?" "l wasn't ready for it." "Have you seen a monkey?" "I saw Regis Philbin once." "Thank you, Mr. Heckles." "You owe me a waffle." "He's a black capuchin monkey with a white face with Russian dressing and pickles on the side." "Thanks." "How did it go today?" "Oh, great!" "It went great." "Really great." "is that wine?" "You want some?" "Oh, I would love some." "But let's not drink it here." "I'm feeling crazy." "You wanna go to Newark?" "Okay, but before we head off to the murder capital of the Northeast I kind of wanted to run something by you." "You know how we were talking before about relationships, and stuff." "Oh, God, Ross, I cannot do this!" "Okay, quick and painful." "Oh, God!" "Okay, all right." "All right, okay." "Please don't hate me." "What?" "You know Marcel?" "I kind of lost him." "I can't believe this." "All I asked you to do was keep him in here!" "I know. I'm sorry." "It's partially my fault." "I shouldn't have had you start with a monkey." "You should have started with a pencil." "I'm doing everything I can." "Everyone's looking for him and I got" "Who is it?" "animal control." "l've even got Animal Control." "You called Animal Control?" "Why?" "Do you not like them?" "Marcel is an illegal exotic animal." "I'm not allowed to have him. lf they find him, they'll take him away." "Well, now, see, you never ever told us that." "Because I never expected you to invite them to the apartment!" "Thanks for coming." "Somebody called about a monkey?" "You know, that was a complete misunderstanding." "We thought we had a monkey, but we didn't." "Turned out it was a hat." "Cat!" "We checked, no one's seen Marcel." "My uncle Marcel." "ls that who the monkey's named after?" "Possession of an illegal exotic is punishable by two years in prison and confiscation of the animal." "Oh, my God!" "You'd put that poor little creature in jail?" "Remember how we talked about saying things quietly to yourself first?" "Yes, but there isn't always time." "I'm sure there's some friendly way to reconcile this." "Have a seat." "We haven't met. I'm Monica Geller." "Oh, my God, you are!" "And you're Rachel Greene!" "Luisa Gianetti!" "Lincoln High?" "I sat behind you guys in homeroom." "Luisa!" "Oh, my God!" "Monica!" "It's Luisa!" "I went there too!" "Luisa!" "From homeroom!" "You have no idea who I am, do you?" "No." "Not at all." "Well, maybe that's because you spent four years ignoring me." "Would it have been hard to say, "Morning, Luisa" or " Nice overalls" ?" "Oh, I'm so sorry!" "It's not so much you." "You were fat." "You had your own problems." "But you." "What a bitch!" "What?" "You know what?" "Be that as it may could you help us with the monkey thing, for old times' sake?" "Go, Bobcats!" "I could." "But I won't." "If I find that monkey, he's mine." "Sorry." "Marcel?" "Marcel?" "Hi, can I help you?" "We're having an emergency, and we were looking for something." "A monkey." "Yes, have you seen any?" "No, I haven't seen a monkey." "Can you fix radiators?" "Sure!" "Did you try turning the knob back the other way?" "Of course!" "Oh." "Then, no." "Taste this. ls there too much rum?" "Just a second." "Hope you find your monkey." "No, wait!" "We may not know about radiators but we do have expertise in the heating and cooling milieu." "Aren't we in the middle of something?" "But these women are very hot, and they need our help." "And they're very hot!" "We can't, all right?" "We're sorry." "You don't know how sorry." "We promised to find this monkey." "He's this high and answers to the name Marcel." "So if we could get pictures of you, it'd help us out." "From now on, you don't get to talk to other people." "Oh, my God!" "What?" "Something brushed up against my right leg." "Oh, it's okay." "It was just my left leg." "Look, Phoebe!" "Oh, Marcel!" "Come here!" "Step aside, ladies." "What are you gonna do?" "Just a tranquilizer." "Run, Marcel, run!" "Damn!" "Are you okay?" "l think so." "Oh, gosh!" "We've been all over the neighborhood!" "He's just gone!" "You don't know that." "lt's cold, it's dark." "He doesn't know the Village!" "And now I have a broken foot." "I have no monkey and a broken foot!" "Thank you very much!" "I've said I'm sorry a million times." "What do you want me to do?" "You want me to break my foot too?" "I'll break it right now." "Oh, my God!" "There, are you happy now?" "Yeah, now that you kicked the sign I don't miss Marcel anymore!" "It's not like I did this on purpose." "No, this is just vintage Rachel." "Things just sort of happen around you!" "You're off in " Rachel Land," doing your " Rachel Thing" oblivious to people's monkeys or to people's feelings and-- l don't want to hear it!" "Forget it, okay?" "What?" "Hey, banana man!" "This is so intense!" "One side of my butt is totally asleep and the other side has no idea." "What's with Phoebe?" "Tranquilizer dart." "Hi!" "Did you order some bananas?" "What about it?" "Give me my monkey back!" "l don't have a monkey." "Then what's with the bananas?" "Potassium." "Okay, where is he?" "You're wasting your time." "What?" "What have you done to him?" "That's my monkey." "That's Patty." "Are you insane?" "Come here, Marcel." "Come here, Patty." "Come here, Marcel." "Come here, Patty." "Here, monkey." "Here, monkey!" "Gotcha!" "Give me my monkey back!" "lt's mine." "Take this up with the judge." "That's not my monkey." "The dress is mine." "Send it back whenever." "All right, I want my monkey!" "Oh, come on, Luisa." "Sorry, prom queen." "You had to be a bitch in school, instead of fat." "In high school, I was prom queen and the homecoming queen and you were also there." "But this isn't high school." "We're all adults here!" "Heckles!" "Can I have this?" "For the most part." "If you take this monkey, I'll lose an important person in my life." "You can hate me if you want, but please do not punish him." "You have a chance to be the bigger person here." "Take it!" "No." "All right." "Then I'll call your supervisor and tell her you shot my friend with a dart!" "It'll be nice to get this off, won't it?" "Or we can leave it on." "That's fine." "With the right pumps, that would be a great little outfit." "Listen, I'm sorry I was so hard on you before" "No, it was my fault." "I almost lost your" "Yeah, but you got him back." "You were great." "We still have that bottle of wine." "Are you in the mood for something grape?" "Sure, that would be good." "All right." "The neighbors must be vacuuming." "Well, as long as we're here and not on the subject...." "l was thinking about how mad we got at each other before." "And maybe it was partially because of how we" "Rachel?" "Barry?" "I can't do it." "I can't marry Mindy." "I think I'm still in love with you." "We have got to start locking that door!" "Show us!" "Come on!" "lt was such a long time ago." "Okay, fine." "All right." "This is me in The sound of Music." "See the von Trapp kids?" "That's because I'm in front of them." "Big nun!" "I thought that was an alp." "High school wasn't my favorite time." "I loved high school." "It was four years of parties, dating and sex and" "Well, I went to boarding school with 400 boys." "Any sex I had would've involved a major lifestyle choice." "Doesn't it seem like a million years ago?" "My butt cheek is waking up!"

"You crazy fucking bad boy, trying to fuck your girl's mama." "Now, tell me, how would that cute little cunt Lula feel about that?" "Uh-oh." "You know, Marietta just gave me this..." " Yeah?" " ...to kill you." " And afterwards, she said, Lula's mine..." " Sailor, he's got a knife!" "Sailor!" "No!" "Sailor!" " Hello." " Is Lula there?" " Who is this?" " Sailor Ripley." "Can I talk to Lula?" "There's no way in hell that you're gonna talk to her." "If you even think about seeing Lula, you're dead." "What?" "You heard me." "And don't you ever call here again." "Mama?" "You know who that was." "And you know that you aren't, and I mean are not gonna see him ever." "End of story." "Like hell." "Lula." " Ripley!" " Peanut!" "Hey, baby!" "Wow." "Baby, I got a surprise for you." "What..." "Hey, my snakeskin jacket!" "Thanks, baby!" "Did I ever tell you that this here jacket represents a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom?" "About 50,000 times." "I got us a room at the Cape Fear." "And guess what." "Powermad's playing at the" " Hurricane." " Hurricane." "Stab it and steer." "Jeez, Louise, Sailor, baby, you are something else." "When I was 15, my mama told me that pretty soon I'd be starting to think about sex, and I should tell her before I did anything about it." "But, honey, I thought you told me your uncle Pooch raped you when you was 13." "That's true." "Uncle Pooch wasn't really an uncle." "He was a business partner of my daddy's." "Mama never knew nothing about me and him, that's for damn sure." "You know what?" "You're a pumpkin." "Mommy!" "Oh, my God, you sick..." " Get out!" "You son of a bitch!" " Mommy." "Uncle Pooch died in a car crash three months later while he was holidaying in Myrtle Beach." "They still got way too much traffic there for my taste." "Have you been noticing the buildup in traffic?" "Here she goes again." "I'm sorry, Sailor, but that ozone layer is disappearing." "One of these mornings, the sun's gonna come up and burn a hole clean through the planet like an electrical X-ray." "That ain't never will happen, honey." "At least not in our lifetime." "By then, they'll be driving Buicks to the moon." "You okay, honey?" "That woman's laugh creeps me out." "Sounds like something I heard before." "Sounded like the Wicked Witch." "Just sounded like an old gal having a good time to me." "You about ready to do some dancing?" "Honey, I'm always ready to dance." "But I need my kiss first." "Just one." "I'm gonna hire me a hit man if you don't help me stop this thing." "I'm going to make a call to Marcello Santos." "Now, Marietta, I am gonna help you, so don't be getting carried away." "You don't want to bring Santos and his bunch into this." "You're just jealous of him 'cause he's still sweet on me." "Have you been seeing him again?" "Oh, my God." "I don't believe this." "Johnnie Farragut, who doesn't even trust his very own Marietta." "All right, I'm sorry, honey." "I'm..." "I just love you, and it just brings out that ugly, jealous side." "I hate it." "God." "No tongue." "My lipstick." "Sweetheart, I want you to stop worrying about me and start worrying about how to get Lula away from that murderer." "Honey, wait a minute, now." "Sailor ain't no murderer." "Now, now, listen to me." "You gotta get off of that kick." "As far as I know, Sailor was completely clean before he got involved with that event with Lula." "And even there, he was trying to protect her." "That crazy Bob Ray Lemon was coming at both of them with a knife, for God's sake." "He could've killed both of them." "You ought to be thanking him." "I don't even know why I have to tell you all this, honey." "You was there, you saw the whole damn thing." "Didn't you?" "Sailor boy!" "How would you like to fuck Lula's mama?" "No, ma'am." "I sure don't." "Lula's mama would like to fuck you." "Come on." "Miss Fortune, I really think you need a cup of coffee." "I really do." "Maybe I was there, but I didn't see anything at all." "And all I know is, is that trash, he killed a man with his bare hands, hands that are probably all over my baby right now." "Honey, come on, now." "Settle down." "It's all right." "Come on, now." "It's all right." "Now, you listen to me." "I want what's best for her, too, honey." "And I'm gonna do everything I can to bring her back home, all right?" "Uh-huh." "Baby, quit bouncing." "I got one more toe to do." "Let's go dancing, peanut." "I'm ready." "But we better be careful, 'cause Mom's gonna have Johnnie Farragut on us like a duck on a June bug." "And that Johnnie is one clever detective." " You know how clever?" " How clever?" "He told me once he could find an honest man in Washington." "Wow." "Just one, two more moments and my toes will be dry." "You know, one thing puzzles my mind, sugar." "What's that?" "You're 20 years old." "Ain't you ever curious why your mama's got this fixation on keeping us apart?" "I'll tell you, Lula." "Well..." "It's more than me killing Bob Ray Lemon." "Well, maybe my mama cares for me just a little too much." "Yeah, maybe." "I just want to kiss you goodbye." "'Cause you know too many things about Lula's mama." "What do you mean?" "Johnnie told me you used to be a driver for Marcello Santos." "So what?" "So maybe one night you got too close to a fire." "So maybe you're gonna burn." "Besides, you're shit." "You think that I'd let my little girl hang out with a piece of S-H-I-T like you?" "Kid, you belong in one of these toilets." "You filthy piece of white trash." "You..." "You're gonna have to kill me to keep me away from Lula." "Don't you worry about that." "And before I do, I'm gonna cut your balls off and feed them to you." "Gonna have to kill me." "I can arrange that." "It's a problem I don't think is gonna go away too soon, though." "Peanut, I'm thinking of breaking parole and taking you out to sunny California." " Sailor!" " Are you up for that?" "I'd go to the far end of the world for you, baby." "You know I would." "Rocking good news." "Those toenails about dry yet, sweetheart?" "We got some dancing to do." "Are you gonna provide me with an opportunity to prove my love to my girl?" "Or are you gonna save yourself some trouble, step up like a gentleman and apologize to her?" "Don't fuck with me, man." "You look like a clown in that stupid jacket." "This is a snakeskin jacket." "And for me, it's a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom." "Asshole." "Come here." "Sailor, honey..." "I'm sorry to do this to you here in front of a crowd and all, but I want you to get up and apologize to my girl." "I'm sorry." "Well, hell." "You just bumped up against the wrong girl, is all." "That's good." "Now, go get yourself a beer." "You fellas have a lot of the same power E had." "Y'all know this one?" "Treat me like a fool" "Treat me mean and cruel" "But love me" "Break my faithful heart" "Tear it all apart" "But love me" "Won't you love me?" "Well, if you ever go" "Darling, I'll be oh" "So lonely" "I'll be sad and blue" "Crying over you" "Dear only" "I would beg and steal" "Beg and steal" "Just to feel" "Your heart" "I want your heart" "Beating close to mine" "So close to mine" "Well, if you ever go" "Darling, I'll be oh" "So lonely" "Begging on my knees" "All I ask is please" "Please love me" "Oh, yeah" "So sweet." "Sail..." "How come you didn't sing me Love Me Tender?" "You told me that was your favorite love song." "I told you I was only gonna sing Love Me Tender to my wife." "Sailor, baby." "You ever think something and hear a wind and see the Wicked Witch of the East coming flying in?" "I really did miss your mind while I was out at Pee Dee, baby." "The rest of you, too, of course, but the way your head works is God's own private mystery." "What was it you was thinking?" "Well, I was thinking about smoking, actually." "My mama smokes Merits now." "It used to be she smoked Viceroys." "I started stealing them from her about sixth grade." "When'd you start smoking, Sail?" "I guess I started smoking when I was about four." "My mom was already dead then from lung cancer." "What brand did she smoke?" "Marlboros, same as me." "I guess both my mama and my daddy died of smoke-or alcohol-related illness." "Geez, Sail, honey, I'm sorry." "It's okay, honey." "I didn't hardly used to see them, anyways." "I didn't have much parental guidance." "The public defender kept saying that at my parole hearing." "He was a good old boy." "Stood by me." "I'd stand by you, Sail." "Through anything." "Hell, peanut, you stuck by me after I planted Bob Ray Lemon." "A man can't ask for more than that." "You move me, Sail." "You really do." "You mark me the deepest." "You're perfect for me, too." "You remind me of my daddy, you know." "Mama told me he liked skinny women with breasts that stood up and said hello." "He had a long nose, too, just like yours." "Did I ever tell you how my daddy died?" "In a fire, as I recall." "Yeah." "Mama told me he poured kerosene all over himself and lit a match." "That was a year before I met you." "No, Marietta, I haven't found them yet." "Now, why don't you just try to take it easy?" "Johnnie, I'm gonna stay right here by this telephone until you find Lula, and then I'm gonna come get her." "So you call me the second you get to New Orleans." "I will, honey." "Please!" "Don't you let me down again." " I'll miss you." " Get going!" " Okay." "Bye." " Bye, honey." "Well, I guess you broke parole now." "You guess?" "Baby, my parole was broke 200 miles back when we burned Portagee County." "I guess I'll send Mama a postcard from somewhere." "I don't want her to worry no more than necessary." "That's not why I called you here, Santos." "That don't smell like a Kool." "It ain't." "It's part of the lessons of life." "Just tell me what you want." "Honey, you ain't gonna begin worrying now over what's bad for you." "I mean, here you are crossing state lines with an A-number-one certified murderer." "Manslaughterer, honey, not murderer." "Don't exaggerate." "Okay." "Manslaughterer, who just broke parole and got nothing in mind but immoral purposes," " as far as you're concerned." " Thank the Lord!" "Well, you ain't let me down yet, Sail." "It's more than I can say for the rest of the world." "You please me, too, peanut." "You want me to shoot Sailor in the brains with a gun?" "Yes." "In the forehead?" " Yes." " Wrong." "It's always better to blow a hole through the back of the head, right through to the bridge of the nose." "Lots of irreparable brain damage." "See?" "I knew you had it under control." "You're a little slow, but you're beginning to get it." "Why didn't you send Johnnie Farragut?" "Maybe I did." "Why don't you think of looking in New Orleans?" "Lula can't stop talking about that town." "On one condition." "You give me permission to kill Johnnie Farragut." "Santos, please!" "You're not telling me you're that sweet on him, are you?" "What?" "No!" " Are you that sweet on him?" " No, but I can't..." "'Cause one day he is gonna find out what we are up to with Mr. Reindeer, and he can cause us an awful lot of trouble." "I'll take your silence as a yes." "No!" "No!" "No, Santos." " It's all right." " You cannot kill Johnnie, no!" " It's all right." " No, you're not gonna kill him!" " You're not gonna kill him." " No, no, no." "No." "No." "Not Johnnie." "You kill Sailor." "I am going to kill Sailor." "You can be certain of that." "Hello, there, Mr. Reindeer." "This is Marcello Santos speaking." "Mr. Marcello Santos." "Hey, there!" "That was great shit you sent in last month." "I got a problem." "In fact, I got a couple of problems." "Got a couple of problems, huh?" "For each problem, drop a silver dollar through my mail slot." "With all particulars." "We'll work out il conto later." "Have a beautiful day." "We are." "Treat me like a fool" "Treat me mean and cruel" "Oh, yeah, but love me" "Keep them white panties up, baby." "We're in Jimmy Swaggart country now." "Baby, please don't go" "Baby, please don't go down to New Orleans" "You know I love you so Baby, please don't go" "You know what?" "That little bitch Susie stole my comb." "Well, fuck her." "I hate that." " I know." " Stupid little shit." "Phone's ringing." "Juana." "A couple of silver dollars came my way today." "I'm sending one to you with a paper on the beneficiary." "As usual, you are completely free to fulfill the obligation in any manner you so desire." "In fact, send Reggie and Dropshadow over here for the silver dollar and the papers." "Now." "They are on their way." "Who's getting that second silver dollar?" "That's for me to know." "Yeah?" "Thank you, Mr. Reindeer." "Have fun, darling." "How are you doing, there, boy?" "Sometimes, Sail, when we're making love, you just about take me right over that rainbow." "You are so aware of what goes on with me." "I mean, you pay attention." "And I swear, baby, you got the sweetest cock." "It's like it's talking to me when you're inside, like it's got this little voice all its own." "And you get right on me." "You really are dangerously cute, baby." "I gotta admit it." "Let's go out into the crazy world of New Orleans." "Go to Ronnie's and get a fried banana sandwich." "Okay." "That's just about the cutest thing I've ever seen." "Isn't it, though?" "Yeah." "Yeah!" "Pigeons spread diseases and mess up the place." "You've seen that." "Yeah!" "Baby, your man done gone" "Well, your man done gone" "Well, your man done gone Left the county farm" "He had the shackles on Baby, please don't go" "The big N-O." "Santos, I don't know." "Well, Santos, I'm having second thoughts." "Guess what?" "There's no turning back, remember?" "I'm in a killing mood." "Santos, look, I..." "I saw your boyfriend on Bourbon Street." "I'm not sure." "Are you in New Orleans?" "Did you run into Johnnie in New Orleans?" "Crazy fucking bitch." "Johnnie." "Ladies, what are you?" "You're not just a pretty face with a fucking smile." "You're here to make Mr. Reindeer happy and to show him a good time." "Do not bring misfortune upon yourselves." "When I gave you the silver dollar," "I forgot to include the contents of this envelope." "They are to be returned." "Show it just before the deed." "I fell for you, baby" "Like a bomb" "Now my love's gone" "Up in flames" "I knew I had an important lesson to learn that day." "When she got almost to the top step," "I stuck my hand between her legs from behind." "Baby, what a bad boy you are." "That's just what she said." "Man, I had a boner with a capital "O."" "Anyway, I found her lying in a room filled with assault weapons and Spankhouse magazines." "So I slid my hand between her legs again and she closed her thighs on it." "You're exciting me, honey." "Then what'd she do?" "Well, her face was half-pushed into the pillow, and I remember she looked back over her shoulder at me and said, "I won't suck you." "Don't ask me to suck you."" "Poor baby." "She doesn't know what she missed." " What color hair she have?" " Jet black." "But gentlemen prefer blondes." "Anyway, dig this." "She turns over, peels off them orange pants, spreads her legs real wide and says to me..." "Take a bite of peach." "Jesus, honey!" "You more than sort of got what you come for." "Uh-oh." "Baby, you better run me back to the hotel." "You got me hotter than Georgia asphalt." "Say no more, but go easy on me, sweetheart." "Tomorrow we got a lot of driving to do." ""Hotter than Georgia asphalt."" "Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe" "Be bop a lula, she's my baby doll" "My baby doll, my baby doll" "Let's rock again, now" "Well, be bop a lula, she's my baby" "Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe" "Be bop a lula, she's my baby" "Be bop a lula, I don't mean maybe" "Be bop a lula, she's my baby doll" "My baby doll, my baby doll" "Wouldn't it be fabulous if we someway stayed in love for the rest of our lives?" "You think of the weirdest damn things to say sometimes, peanut." "Ain't we been doing a pretty fair job thus far?" "You know exactly what I mean, sugar." "It'd make the future so simple and nice." "Well, I've done a few things in my life which I ain't too proud of." "But I'll tell you, from now on, I ain't gonna do nothing for no good reason." "All I know for sure is there's more than a few bad ideas running around loose out there." "You know, there's something I ain't never told you about, Sailor." "And this here's a story with a lesson about bad ideas." "And what's that?" "Well, my cousin Dell was always fighting bad ideas." "See, Dell loved Christmas." "We used to call him Jingle Dell." "He wanted Christmas to last all year long." "He sure would scream out when his mama told him it was summertime and Christmas was six months off." "And also he would say that he felt those men with black rubber gloves was following him around." "Dell said that trust and the spirit of Christmas was destroyed by ideas being controlled by aliens wearing black gloves." "These aliens would get Dell to do all kinds of things." "Then he'd carry on about the weather, talk about how rainfall's controlled by aliens living on Earth." "Aunt Rootie told Dell that one day he would realize that the alien wearing the black gloves was him and him alone." "Well, it sounds like old Dell was more than just a little bit confused, peanut." "Well, Dell was learning a hard lesson." "It got so he'd stay up all night making sandwiches." "Dell, what are you doing?" "I'm making my lunch!" "Mama told me Aunt Rootie, that's Dell's mama," "found cockroaches in Dell's underwear." "One time, she found Dell putting one big cockroach right on his anus." "Hell, peanut." "It ain't so funny now, though." "Dell disappeared." "Nobody's seen him since." "It's too bad he couldn't visit that old Wizard Of Oz" "and get some good advice." "Too bad we all can't, baby." "Hello?" "You're there." "You're there, Johnnie." "Marietta?" "What's wrong, honey?" "Johnnie." "Sweetheart, well, I'm gonna tell you..." "Listen, honey, listen." "I want you to know something, sweetheart." "I've done something so bad." " Real bad." " What?" "I'm not gonna tell you on the telephone, no." "I'm gonna come to New Orleans tomorrow and I'm gonna tell you in person, okay?" "Marietta, don't you do that to me, honey." "Now, you'd freak out if I did something like that to you." "What is it?" "No." "I'm not gonna tell you on the phone, okay?" "But, honey, I gotta leave right now and get on their trail." "The kids have been here." "They checked out of the Hotel Brazil this morning." "No!" "Honey, stay right there." "Don't go anywhere." "I'm coming in on Piedmont tomorrow on the 7:00 flight." "Johnnie, you and I are going after Lula together." "All right, honey, if that's what you want." "But I'm against it." "7:00, tomorrow evening." "And, sugar, we're gonna go have dinner at our favorite French restaurant." "Okay?" "You fix it up." "Okay, bye, now." "I love you." "Marietta?" "Oh, God." "How much we got left, baby?" "Under 100." "You want me to drive for a stretch so you get a chance to rest?" "Yeah, that'd be good, Lula." "Come on in there, San Antonio, Texas." "What's on your almost perfect mind this evening?" "I just had triple-bypass open-heart surgery, and I want you to know it's people like you that made me want to..." "Jesus." "How can anybody listen to this crap?" "...for her recent divorce, shot and killed her three children aged seven..." "Shot right between..." "A local judge praised defendant John Roy but was dismayed to learn that Roy had had sex with the corpse." " What?" " Roy's lawyer was quoted as saying..." "The state authorities, last October, released 500 turtles into the Ganges to try and reduce human pollution and now plan to put in the crocodiles to devour floating corpses..." "Holy shit!" "It's Night of the Living fucking Dead!" "What's that, peanut?" "I can't take no more of this radio." "I never heard so much shit in all my life." "Sailor Ripley, you get me some music on that radio this instant!" "I mean it!" "...was victim of a sexual assault mutilated, raped..." "Powermad!" "Johnnie, I can't." "I can't tell you now, honey." "Listen." "Is there any way, any way that we could get out on the road tonight?" "Honey, something was upsetting you bad last night when you called." "And you wanted to tell me." "So I figured if you wanted to tell me, that you wanted me to help you." "I did." "I did." "But that was last night." "Right now, I need your help, and we have to find Lula before it's too late." "Honey, I have to ask you something." "Okay." "Is Santos involved in this in any way?" "Hell, no." "You think that I would do something like that without coming to talk to you first?" "I'm sorry, honey." "Goddamn Pucinski, son of a bitch." " Who, Uncle Pooch?" " Yeah, Uncle Pooch." "The son of a bitch that introduced Santos to you and Clyde." "Johnnie, that's all the past." "Right now, what you and I have to do, we have to think about our future, sugar." "Do you mean that?" "You bet your sweet ass I do." "Gosh." "Did I tell you how great it was to see you again?" "Just about five times, that's all." "God, Johnnie." "I love you." "I love you, too." "Johnnie, let's get our backsides out of this town and go get my Lula." "Okay." "What's troubling you, sugar?" "You know, Lula," "I never told you what all I was doing before I met you." "Well, I just figured you was out being Mr. Cool." "Not exactly, sugar." "One reason we're in all the trouble we're in right now is 'cause of what I was doing." "I tried to tell you this before." "You're scaring me, baby." "Well, there's a good side as well as a bad side to it." "And the good side is I knew your daddy and I thought Clyde was a good old guy." " You knew my daddy?" " Yes, I did." "I sure did." "The bad side of it is I did some driving for a man named Marcello Santos." "Shit." "I quit working for him, but just before I did, I ended up one night at a house." "I didn't know it then, but it was your house." "I don't know what it is they all think I saw that night, but I was just sitting out in the car till the whole place went up in flames." "Oh, God, Sailor." "That's the night my sweet daddy died." "I know, sugar." "Daddy?" "That's some big secret you been carrying, Sail." "We all got a secret side, baby." "Hope you don't think I've been lying to you about other things." "Lula, are you there?" "Yeah, I'm here." "Are you upset with me?" "It's just shocking sometimes when things aren't the way you thought they were." "Well, we're really out in the middle of it now, ain't we?" "I'm gonna pack real fast, and then I'm gonna meet you downstairs." "Oh, my God, what we could've done in that king-size bed tonight." "Don't you worry, honey." "I'm gonna make up for it." "All right." " See you in just a minute." " Okay." "Marietta?" "What's that?" "I don't know." "It looks like clothes." "Oh, God, Sailor." "One bad car accident." "Sailor!" "What are we gonna do?" "I don't know, honey, but we gotta help that girl." "Get her to a town and hope no one catches on I broke parole." "I got a bobby pin." "There's a bobby pin." "I can't find it." "My mother's gonna kill me." "It's got..." "It's got all my cards in it, and it was in my pocket, and now my pocket's gone." "You gotta help me find it." "My mother's gonna kill me." "It's got all my cards in it, and it was in my pocket." "It was..." "It was in my pocket." "My purse is gone!" "My purse is gone!" "Now she tells me!" "Now she fucking tells me!" "Let's get a hold of her quick." "You think she's gonna make it?" "Don't know, but she's gonna bleed all over our car," "I'll tell you that." "Hey!" "Hello." "Girl!" "You gotta come with us, honey." "Leave me alone!" "Robert!" "Shit." "Got this damn sticky stuff in my hair." "Got this sticky stuff in my hair." "You better come with us, honey." " Come on." " I gotta find my wallet." "Don't say one word of this to my mother, please." "Please." "God, she's gonna kill me." "You can't worry about that." "You got..." "Oh, God!" "Where's my hairbrush?" "God, she's dying right in front of us, Sailor." "Get my lipstick." "It's in my purse." "She died right in front of us, Sailor." "Why'd she have to go and do that, Sailor?" "Let's get out of here, honey." "Jesus, Mary and Joseph." "Oh, God!" "Come on." "Oh, God!" "I don't understand this, not just one tiny bit." "See, he told me to come down here to wait for him in that lobby there, that he'd meet me in the lobby." "And what I feel is just that something terrible has happened to him." "Well, perhaps we should call a local law enforcement officer." "No!" "No, please." "Please, please, no." "See, the last thing I need is some damn policeman just moving the hell and a-going around here, and I just can't..." "No, no." "Please, no." "I'm sorry." "I must have overlooked this." "I'm truly sorry, madam." "What?" "Could you..." "Could..." ""Gone fishing with a friend." ""And maybe buffalo hunting, too."" "Buffalo hunting?" ""I've gone buffalo hunting"?" "What the fuck does that mean?" "Buffalo hunting." "I'm sure I wouldn't know." "I mean..." "Oh, my God." "He's afraid." "He's done it again!" "The fucker split!" ""I made a commitment."" "Marietta." "Santos!" "Gentlemen, I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you, please, clear out." "How rude!" " Me, too?" " Yeah, you, too." "What'd you do to Johnnie?" "Where's Johnnie?" "I want to know what's happening here!" " Hey..." " Would you tell me what's happening?" "Santos, you tell me what's happening here." "You been crying?" "You gotta cut out this crybaby stuff, you know." "You're my girl now." "And Santos..." "Santos..." "Santos wants to wipe away the tears." "Make you happy." "Hey." "I want you to tell me something." "I want you to tell me, did you do anything to Johnnie?" "Did you hurt him?" "I want to know." "I did not do anything to Johnnie Farragut." "You swear?" "On your mother?" "I swear." "On my mother." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "Now, come on, we got to go." "I got word." "Kids are moving through Texas, and I think a happy ending is being arranged there." "That's it." "Give me a smile." "Santos." "Santos..." "You're the only one that always came through for me." "I smell your shit now, Johnnie." "Give us one more kiss, Reggie!" "Fuck me!" "Fuck me." "Fuck me!" "We hunt buffalo now." "Can't wait no more." "Remember the number ten." "I can't stop her, Johnnie." "But I'm gonna be standing right behind you with this big old gun here." "It's a Marine issue." "I go out now." " Reggie!" " Yeah." "Show him now." "Johnnie." "I forget to show you this." "Santos?" "Oh, God, Marietta, honey." " One." " Bye, now." "Two." "Three." "Four." "Getting too fucking hot now, Reggie." "Five." "Feeling myself." "Six." "Seven." "Eight." "Nine." "Fuck me now, Reggie!" "Ten." "Why in the hell do you want to come to Big Tuna, Sail?" "Well, I know it ain't exactly Emerald City." "It ain't as bad as the weather, though." "It's an awful long way off that road to California." "Why in the hell do you want to come here, baby?" "Well!" "Look at this." "So, what do you want, Mr. Snakeskin?" "I was hoping you could tell me if there's a contract out on me." "I really need to know." " By who?" " Santos." "Or Marietta Fortune." "I heard you were going with that bitch's daughter." "You heard right." "You are one big, stupid asshole." "Don't you know that her mommy and Santos killed her daddy?" "So maybe one night you got too close to a fire." "So maybe you're gonna burn." " I didn't see nothing." " Sure." "I did." "Santos." "Is there a contract?" "We had a deal once." "We'd tip each other off if we ever heard." "I know." "I remember." "Well?" "I heard of nothing." "Thanks." "Sail, honey, is that you?" "The one and only." "Did you get that oil, baby?" "Yes, sirree." "I met a guy named Red, owns a garage." "What's that smell?" "I barfed." "Tried to make it to the bathroom." "Turned out to be the wrong door, anyways." "I think all this driving's upsetting me, baby." "Do you think we could stay and rest here a couple of days?" "Are you carsick, sweetheart?" "A little." "I guess." "Sail, honey." "I hope seeing that girl die didn't jinx us." "I got this for you." "It has 40 different flavors." "One for pretty near every reason I love you." "Sail, I'm gonna save this." "But if I ever eat it," "I'll be thinking of you." ""Robert Brenton and two passengers," ""William Reese and Julie Day, were killed" ""when his car went off the road on Highway 118."" "Robert Brenton, that dumb fuck!" "That stupid shit!" "That fucking Bob was so fucking dumb, he deserved to die!" "That asshole!" "Hey, Timmy, what's going on over there in number four where all them bright lights are all the time?" "Them are making a pornographic movie." "Texas style." "You wanna join in?" "One thing about surviving in Big Tuna, you got to have an active sense of humor." " How you doing?" " Hey, Rex." "This here is Bose Spool." "We call him 00 Spool." "Man there's a rocket scientist." "My dog barks some." "Mentally, you picture my dog." "But I have not told you the type of dog which I have." "Perhaps you might even picture Toto from The Wizard of Oz." "But I can tell you my dog is always with me." "Hey, everybody." " Bobby." " Hey, Bobby." "Hey, Sailor, Lula, this here is the man himself." "Bobby, this is Sailor and Lula, the two most recent strandees, economic variety." "Bobby Peru." "Just like the country." "Bobby just rolled into town a couple days ago." "Yeah, Bobby here is the most exciting item to hit Big Tuna since the '86 cyclone sheared the roof off the high school." "You from Texas, Mr. Peru?" "I'm from all over." "I see you was in the Marines." "Four years." "Bobby was at Cao Bang." "What's Cao Bang?" "How old are you?" "Twenty." "Whole lot of women, kids, and old people died at Cao Bang." "You was on a ship, partner." "Pretty hard to make contact with the people when you're out floating in the fucking Gulf of Tonkin." "Come on, Bobby." "Have yourself another glass of Jack." "Okay?" "Don't mind if I fucking do." "Speaking of Jack," "One-eyed Jack's yearning to go a-peeping in a seafood store." "All right." "Nice meeting you." " Adios, boys." " See you, Bobby." "Bobby's got a way." "Can't shake that institution odor." "Baby, I still ain't feeling so well." "I'm going to bed." "Will you come with me?" "Yeah." "I'll come along." "Well, good night." " Good night." " Night." "Lordy, what was that all about?" "I don't know." "Man, that barf smell don't fade fast." "Is there anything I can do for you?" "I don't think so, Sail." "I just need to lie down." "Sail, you know what?" "I know you ain't particularly pleased being here." "Not that." "I'm gonna write it down, 'cause I can't say it." "You can't say it?" "I can't say this." "Not out loud." "Oh, God." "It's okay by me, peanut." "Well, nothing personal, but I ain't so sure it's okay by me." "Really, Sail, it ain't nothing against you, baby." "I love you." "I love you, too." "I know." "I'm just sort of uncomfortable about how things has been going." "Seems we sort of broke down along that yellow brick road, and this don't help soothe me." "Honey, I promise I ain't gonna let things get no worse." "Not in a million years." "Yeah." "Hey, pretty woman." "Is Sailor here?" "He's changing the oil out in our car." "Man, I got to take a piss bad." "Can I use your head?" "Yeah, I guess." "I don't mean your head-head." "I'm not gonna piss on your head, your hair and all." "Just gonna piss in the toilet." "Y'all take a listen." "You'll hear a deep sound coming down from Bobby Peru." "You got the smell in this room of puke." "You been puking, little girl?" "Huh?" "You sick?" "Pregnant?" "You used the toilet, now you can go." "It ain't none of your business what I do around here, that's for sure." "You know, I sure do like a woman with nice tits like yours, who talks tough and looks like she can fuck like a bunny." "Can you fuck like that, huh?" "You like it like a bunny?" "'Cause if you do, baby," "I'll fuck you good." "Like a big old jackrabbit bunny, jump all around that hole." "Bobby Peru don't come up for air." "Get out." "Am I scaring you?" "Your pussy wet?" "Is it wet?" "Don't jump back so slow." "I thought you was a bunny." "Bunny jump fast." "You jump back slow." "Means something, don't it?" "It means something to me." "It means you want Bobby Peru." "You want Bobby Peru to fuck you hard, baby, open you like a Christmas present." "You want me to do it?" "Just a simple yes or no." "Just feel me breathing on you." "And you know I mean business when it comes to fucking." "Get out!" "Bobby Peru grab you, hold you tight, feel everything inside you." "Be quiet." "Say "Fuck me." And I'll leave." " No way." "Get out!" " Say it!" "I'll tear your fucking heart out, girl!" "Say "Fuck me."" "Say "Fuck me" and then I'll leave." "Say "Fuck me." Whisper it." "Say it." "Say "Fuck me."" "Whisper it. "Fuck me."" ""Fuck me."" "Say it. "Fuck me."" ""Fuck me."" "Fuck me." "Someday, honey, I will." "But I gotta get going." "Sing." "Don't cry." "Sail." "Hey, Bobby." "Need a hand?" "No thanks, Bobby." "About done." "How about a beer?" "Beer..." "Well..." "Yeah, Bobby, that'd be fine." "Where's that pretty little lady of yours today?" "She's up in our room resting." "Hasn't been feeling well lately." "Sorry to hear it." "Sailor." "I've been studying a situation over in Lobo." "Take two men to handle it." "What's that?" "Feed store keeps up to 5K in their safe." "Need me a good boy for backup." "Even split." "You interested?" "No, man." "I don't think so." "Be easy, Sailor." "There's two employees, I take them in the back to open the safe, and you just keep the door covered." "You ain't planning on raising a family in the Big Tuna, are you?" "Wait a minute." "What do..." "What do you mean by "family"?" "Well, I mean, like Lula being in the family way and all." "Lula tell you that she's pregnant?" "Couple of grand or two sure would give you two a leg up, get you out to the West Coast, Mexico, just about anyplace with a couple of dollars in your jeans." "I got it figured good, Sailor." "When did you talk to Lula?" "I talked to her this afternoon." "When you was out." "Did she really..." "Did she really say she was pregnant?" "I just took a guess, that's all." "You in or out on this deal?" "I ain't fucking sure, Bobby." "Don't take too long to think about it." "Had enough?" "I have now." "Come on." "Come on, let's go outside." "I got something to show you." "Right here is a double-barrel sawed-off Ithaca shotgun." "Next to it we got a cold Smith Wesson" ".38 handgun with a four-inch barrel." "Those'll do her." "Really loosen up that five grand." "Two and a half for you and the little lady." "How much money you got between the two of you?" "Forty bucks." "This is easy money, partner." "Ain't nobody gonna get hurt in this thing." "And I don't think you can afford to pass it up." "I'll be bringing the Eldo round the back of the motel at 10:00 in the morning." "Really could set you and that little lady up good." "Yeah." "Yeah, I guess so." "That kind of money..." "Get us a long way down that yellow brick road." "But God damn it, Bobby, this better go real smooth." "You understand me?" "Like taking candy from a fucking baby." "Here comes Sailor." "You been drinking, huh?" "A few beers, is all." "Feeling any better?" "Can't tell yet." "That smell's still filling this room good." "So where'd you say you was?" "I went with Bobby." "Sail." "Mmm-hmm?" "Let's leave here." "We're going to, peanut." "Real soon." "You up to something with Bobby Peru, Sailor?" "What could I be up to, Lula?" "That Bobby Peru's a black angel, Sail." "You hook up with him, and you'll regret it." "If you live to." "Thanks, darling." "I know you got my best interests in mind." "I appreciate it sincerely." "I love you, but I got to get some sleep now." "This whole world's wild at heart and weird on top." "I wish you'd sing me Love Me Tender." "I wish I was somewhere over the rainbow." "It's just shit!" "Shit, shit, shit!" "The whole gang, huh?" "Yup." "You know, you look a whole lot better in the flesh." "The cobra's ready to strike, chica." "You know that guy, Sailor?" "He came by the other afternoon." "He wanted to know if there was a contract on him." "No shit?" " You know him?" " I used to." " What'd you say?" " No, of course." "That's right." "Could have a bad accident, though." "Before, during, or after a holdup." "What am I doing here?" "Sailor, what are you doing here, man?" "I can't do this." "Climb in back."

"You don't believe me." "Now is not the time, Anna, Tadzhik." "I have to prove something to this American." "Come." "You're putting me on." "I know that word and I'm not." "Come on, Starevsky." "Oh, well, that does it." "It's Starsky." "Hmm?" "Ah..." "Come on." "[###]" "That's not going to help." "OK, are you ready?" "Any time you are." "OK." "[###]" "Subtitles by SDI Media Group"

""Laura, at this stage, I can offer nothing more than my word." "I'm a senior government employee in the intelligence community" "I hope you understand that contacting you is extremely high risk and you are willing to agree to the following precautions before I share more." "This will not be a waste of your time." "The following sounds complex, but should only take minutes to complete for someone technical." "I would like to confirm out of email that the keys we exchanged were not intercepted and replaced by your surveillants." "Please confirm that no one has ever had a copy of your private key and that it uses a strong passphrase." "Assume your adversary is capable of one trillion guesses per second." "If the device you store the private key and enter your passphrase on has been hacked, it is trivial to decrypt our communications." "Understand that the above steps are not bullet proof, and are intended only to give us breathing room." "In the end if you publish the source material," "I will likely be immediately implicated." "This must not deter you from releasing the information I will provide." "Thank you, and be careful." "Citizen Four"" "Radio: ... surveillance means that there are facts under the law to apply to if we should take away the surveillance there are no facts the government could manufacture" " Oh, that's right and it's all about creating an independent record" " To me this goes to the question of independently verifying what the government is doing." "That's why I keep going back to that question." " So, that was David Suruda." "After CBS News traffic and weather..." "Hey, can you hear me?" "I am here David, how are you?" "Well, I would just point... start by pointing to (what) Barack Obama himself said about those questions when he was running for the office that he now occupies." "On December 2007 he said "The president does not have the power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation"." "So by Obama's own words, the president doesn't have the power that he is now exercising under the Constitution." "And as far of why it matters, in... on August 1st 2007 when he laid out his reasons why he was running for office and why he thought it was so important to change the way we were doing things" "he said" ""No more ignoring the law when it's inconvenient, that is not who we are." "We will again set an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers."" " So to allow presidents to simply start wars on their own without any..." "For now, know that every border you cross, every purchase you make, every call you dial, every cell phone tower you pass, friend you keep, article you write, site you visit, subject line you type," "and packet you route, is in the hands of a system whose reach is unlimited but whose safeguards are not." "Your victimisation by the NSA system means that you are well aware of the threat that unrestricted secret police pose for democracies." "This is a story few, but you, can tell." "Thank you for inviting me here, to give me the opportunity to express my story." "But let me give you some of my background." "I spent about 4 years in the military and then I went to NSA directly, so... so I ended up with about 37 years of service combined." "Most of it was a lot of fun!" "I tell you, it was really a lot of fun, breaking these puzzles." "You know, solving problems and things like that." "So, and that's really what I did." "Fundamentally started working with data, looking at data and datasystems and how you do that." "I was developing this concept of analysis where you could lay it out in such a way that it could be coded and executed electronically." "Meaning you could automate analysis." "And it has to do with metadata and using metadata relationships." "So that was the whole, that was my whole theme there at NSA that was eventually what I ended up to, I was the only one there doing that, by the way." "So any rate, you know, 9/11 happened." "And it must have been right after." "A few days, no more than a week after 9/11 that they decided to begin actively spying on everyone in this country." "And they wanted that back part of our program to run all the spying." "So that's that's exactly what they did." "And then they started taking the telecom data, and expanded after that." "So, I mean, the one I knew was ATT, and that one provided 320 million records every day." "That program was reauthorized every 45 days by the, what I call the "Yes Committee"" "which way Hayden, and Tenet, and the DOJ, that program was called STELLARWIND." "So first I went to the House Intelligence Committee, and the staff member I personally knew there and she then went to the Chairman of that Committee, Nancy Pelosi, who was the Minority Rep." "They were all briefed in to the program at the time, by the way, and all the other programs that were going on, including all those CIA programs." "I wasn't alone in this, there were four others out of NSA, we were all trying to work interally in the government over these years trying to get them to come around, to being constitutionally acceptable," "and take it in to the courts and have the courts' oversight of it too." "So we naïvely kept thinking that that could, that could happen, and it never did." "But any rate after that and all the stuff we were doing they decided to raid us to keep us quiet, threaten us, you know." "So we were raided simultaneously, four of us." "In my case they came in with guns drawn," "I don't know why they did that, but they did." "So...." ""Laura," "I will answer what I remember of your questions as best I can." "Forgive the lack of structure, I am not a writer, and I have to draft this in a great hurry." "What you know as STELLARWIND has grown," "SSO, the expanded Special Source Operations that took over STELLARWIND's share of the pie has spread all over the world to practically include comprehensive coverage of the United States." "Disturbingly, the amount of US communication ingested by NSA is still increasing." "Publicly, we complain that things are going dark, but in fact our accesses are improving." "The truth is that the NSA has never in its history collected more than it does now." "I know the location of most domestic interception points, and that the largest telecommunication companies in the US are betraying the trust of their customers, which I can prove." "We are building the greatest weapon for oppression in the history of Man." "Yet its directors exempt themselves from accountability." "NSA director Keith Alexander lied to Congress, which I can prove." "Billions of US communications are being intercepted." "In gathering evidence of wrongdoing" "I focused on the wronging of the American people, but believe me when I say that the surveillance we live under is the highest privilege compared to how we treat the rest of the world, this I can also prove." "On cyberoperations the government's public position is that we still lack a policy framework." "This too is a lie." "There is a detailed policy framework, a kind of martial law for Cyber Operations created by the White House." "It's called "Presidential Policy Directive 20"" "and was finalized at the end of last year." "This I can also prove." "I appreciate your concern for my safety, but I already know how this will end for me, and I accept the risk." "If I have luck, and you are careful, you will have everything you need." "I ask only that you ensure this information makes it home to the American public." "Does the NSA routinely intercept American citizen's emails?" "No." "Does the NSA intercept Americans' cell phone conversations." "No." "Google searches?" "No." "Text messages?" "No." "Nope" "Bank records?" "No." "What judicial consent is required for NSA to intercept communications and information involving American citizens?" "Within the United States that would be the FBI lead." "If it was a foreign actor in the United states the FBI would still have the lead and could work that with NSA or other intelligence agencies as authorized." "But to conduct that kind of collection within the United states it would have to go through a court order." "And the court would have to authorize it." "We are not authorized to do it, nor do we do it." "All rise." "The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is now in session." "Please be seated." "Good morning and welcome to the Ninth Circuit." "The first case for argument is Jewell vs. National Security Agency." "You may proceed." "May it please the Court, Kevin Bankston for Carolyn Jewell and her fellow plaintiff appellants in Jewell vs. NSA." " Your Honors, plaintiffs have specifically alleged that their own communications and communications records have been acquired by the government." "But the District Court found that we failed to allege facts that differentiated the injury of our plaintiffs sufferred from the injury suffered by every other ATT user whose communications and records have been acquired by the government." "Basically concluding that so long as every one is being surveilled, no one has standing to sue." "However to deny standing to persons who are injured simply because many others are also injured would mean that the most injurious and widespread government actions could be questioned by nobody." " Do they have anything concrete that in fact a specific communication of your client was intercepted?" " We have evidence that all the communications passing between ATT's network and other networks in their Northern California facility" "have been intercepted, so that would necessarily include the Internet communications of our Northern California plaintiffs." " Okay, thank you." " Thank you, your honor" " May it please the Court," "I'm Thomas Byron from the Department of Justice here on behalf of the Government defendants." "We think this litigation need not be resolved in Federal Court." "In light of the oversight of the political branches both Legislative and Executive, which provides a better opportunity for oversight and resolution of the concerns raised concerning nationwide policies of alleged surveillance in these complaints." " Even if it's revealed that one or more of the plaintiffs had email or telephone conversations intercepted that had nothing to do with the national security?" " Your honor, I don't know that anyone necessarily would have standing to raise the particular claims that issue in these 2 cases." "We think instead that the kinds of claims that issue here against these defendants are those that are better suited to resolution before the representative branches of our government..." " What role... would the Judiciary have if your.. approach is adopted..." " Judge Peterson, I think the..." " I mean, we just get out of the way, is that it?" " Well, Judge Peterson, what I think is that there is a narrow category, subset of cases in which it may be appropriate to step aside for that narrow category of cases." " But mmm... the Judiciary plays a role..." " To be sure, Judge Peterson...." " ...in our system." " Yes Your Honor and we don't mean to diminish that." " You're asking us to abdicate that role" " No, Your Honor, but it is a question of this court's discretion whether to reach that issue." "We do think that there is simply no way for the litigation to proceed without risk of divulging those very questions of privileged information that would cause, as Director of National Intelligence has explained, exceptionally great damage to National Security's disclose." "Thanks for having me." "Hum, if anybody has any questions, like I said just.." "Basically just raise your hand and I'll try to call on you as soon as I possibly can." "So, who here actually feels like they are under surveillance, pretty regularly?" "Everyone inside of Occupy." "How many people here have been arrested and at their Court date had their phone taken into the back room?" "How many people here had their retina scanned?" "Wow." "So you guys are actually, in a sense, the canaries in the coal mine, right, because the incentives are all lined up against you." "Anybody see how the subway link your metro card to your debit card, right?" "And, like, auto refill." "This is a concept which is key to everything we'll talk about today." "And it's called linkability." "Take one piece of data and link it to another piece of data." "So for example, if you have your metro card and you have your debit card, you have those things and you can draw a line between them right?" "So that's, like, not a scary thing." "Except your bank card is tied to everything else that you do during the day." "So now they know where you're going, when you make purchases." "So when they decide to target you, they can actually recreate your exact steps." "With a metro card and with a credit card alone." "Like literally where you go and what you buy and potentially by linking that data with other people on similar travel plans, they can figure out who you talk to and who you met with." "When you then take cellphone data, which logs your location and you link up purchasing data, metro card data and your debit card." "You start to get what you could call metadata, an aggregate over a person's life." "And metadata, an aggregate, is content." "It tells a story about you, which is made up of facts, but is not necessarily true." "So for example, just because you were on the corner, and all these data points point to it, it doesn't mean you committed the crime." "So it's important to note that if someone has a perception of you having done a thing, it will now follow you for the rest of your life." "So just keep in mind that what happens to you guys for example with fingerprints, and retinal scans, and photographs." "That is what is going to happen to people in the future when they resist policy changes and when they try to protest in a totally constitutionally protected way." "This is for you, Director Clapper, again on the surveillance front." "And I hope we can do this in just a yes or no answer, because I know Senator Feinstein wants to move on." " So, does the NSA collect any type of data at all, on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans ?" " No sir." " It does not?" " Not wittingly." "There are cases where they could inadvertently, perhaps, collect, but not wittingly." "Email from April 2013" "The encrypted archive should be available to you within seven days." "The key will follow when everything else is done." "The material provided, and investigative effort required will be too much for any one person." "I recommend at a very minimum you involve Glen Greenwald." "I believe you know him." "The plaintext of the payload will include my true name details for the record." "Though it will be your decision as to whether or how to declare my involvement." "My personal desire is that you paint the target directly on my back." "No one, not even my most trusted confidant, is aware of my intentions and it would not be fair for them to fall under suspicion for my actions." "You may be the only one who can prevent that, and that is by immediately nailing me to the cross rather than trying to protect me as a source." "On timing, regarding meeting up in Hong Kong, the first rendezvous attempt will be at 10 A.M. local time on Monday." "We will meet in the hallway outside of the restaurant in the Mira Hotel." "I will be working on a Rubik's cube so that you can identify me." "Approach me and ask if I know the hours of the restaurant." "I'll respond by stating that I'm not sure and suggest you try the lounge instead." "I'll offer to show you where it is, and at that point we're good." "You simply need to follow naturally." "As far as positioning I mean if you want us to sit in any particular way or whatever." "You know, I'm gonna go there just like we get better light." "There is, you know, so many different enormous stories just that are kind of standalone stories" "that, even like you know certain things on my individual document that can just be their own story and I just want to start turning those stories out." "I basically woke up this morning and I already started writing stories hum so I'm hoping to, you know, start publishing within like a day or two days." " OK it's as long as you're good with that" " Yeah and so as far as I... the stuff we have to talk about," "I mean I'm kind of like dichotomizing it between, you know, stuff that I'd like to talk you about, in terms of like the documents and the content." "Laura has a bunch of questions about that as well." "So while we're working through the documents getting your take-on, a lot of the stuff that, you know, help me understand it better, but then also the sort of You story, right... like the who you are/?" " Yeah what you've done, why you've done what you've done" " Yeah and I'd love to do that first" " OK in part because, you are the only one who can do that" " Yeah so I'd like to just get it done so let it's done, and also because, you know, it might be that you wanna do that early" " Yeah because, it might be necessary, we might choose to have that done early." "What are you... tell me your thoughts, just where you are with that?" " So primary one on that, I think I've expressed it a couple times online, is I feel the modern media has a big focus on personalities." " Totally" " And I'm a little concerned (that) the more we focus on that the more they're going to use that as a distraction." "I don't necessarily want that to happen, which is why I've consistently said, you know," "I'm not the story here, hum haha, nervous uh?" " No it's a very very cheap pen, I just, the slider is broke, go ahead." " Hum, but hum, yeah, anything I can do to help you guys get this out," "I will do," "I don't have any experience with media, with how this works so I'm kind of learning as I go." "Right, so, I just want to get a sense of why did you decide to do what you've done." "So for me it all comes down to State Power against the people's ability to meaningfully oppose that power." "And I'm sitting there everyday, getting payed to design methods to amplify that State Power." "And I'm realizing that if, you know, the policy switches, that there are the only things that restrains these states, were changed," "there, you couldn't meaningfully oppose these." "I mean, you have to be the most incredibly sophisticated ta* col* actor in existence." "I'm not sure there's anybody, no matter how gifted you are, who could oppose all of the offices and all the bright people even all the mediocre people out there with all of their tools and all of their capabilities." "And as I saw the promise of the Obama administration be betrayed and walk away from it." "In fact, actually advance the things that had been promised to be sort of curtailed and rained in and dialed back." "It actually gets worse, particularly drone strikes." "Which I also learned in NSA, we could watch drone videos from our desktops," "as I saw that, that really hardened me to action." " In real time?" " In real time, yeah, it'll stream a lower quality of the video to your desktop, typically you'd be watching surveillance drones as opposed to actually letting you know, murder drones really going out there and bomb somebody." "But you'll have a drone that's just following somebody's house for hours and hours." "And you won't know who it is because, you know, you don't have the context for that but it's just a page where it's lists and lists of drone feeds and all these different countries with all these different code names" "and you can just click on which one you want to see." " Right, so if your self interest is to live in a world in which there's maximum privacy, doing something that could put you into prison, in which your privacy is completely destroyed is sort of the antithesis of that," "how did you reach the point where that was a worthwhile calculation for you?" " I remember what the Internet was like before it was being watched." "And there has never been anything in the history of man like it." "I mean you could have children from one part of the world having an equal discussion, where you know they were sort of granted" "the same respect for their ideas and conversation, with experts in the field from another part of the world on any topic, anywhere, anytime, all the time." "And it was free and unrestrained." "And we've seen the chilling of that, the cooling of that and the changing of that model towards something which people self police their own views." "And they literally make their own jokes on ending up on the list if they donate to a political cause or if they say something in a discussion." "And it has become an expectation that we're being watched." "Many people I've talked to have mentioned that they're careful about what they type into search engines." "Because they know that it's being recorded." "And that limits the boundaries of their intellectual exploration." "And I'm more willing to risk imprisonment or any other negative outcome personally than I am willing to risk the curtailment of my intellectual freedom and that of those around me, whom I care for equally as I do for myself." "And again that's not to say that I'm self sacrificing because it gives me, I feel good, in my human experience to know that I can contribute to the good of others." " Could you elaborate on that?" " So, I don't know how much the programs and the actual technical capacities everybody's talked to you about but there is an infrastructure in place in the United States and world wide that NSA has built in cooperation with other governments as well," "that intercepts basically every digital communication, every radio communication, every analog communication that it has sensors in place to detect." "And with these capabilities, basically the vast majority of human and computer to computer communications, device-based communication, which that sort of then forms the relationships between humans," "are automatically ingested without targeting." "And that allows individuals to retroactively search your communications based on self certifications." "So for example, if I wanted to see the content of your email or, you know, your wife's phone calls or anything like that." "All I have to do is use what's called a selector." "Any kind of thing in the communication's chain that might uniquely or almost uniquely identify you as an individual." "And I'm talking about things like email addresses," "IP addresses, phone numbers, credit cards," "even passwords that are unique to you, that aren't used by anyone else." "I can input those into the system and it will not only go back through the database and go "have I seen this anywhere in the past?"," "it will basically put an additional level of scrutiny on it moving into the future that says" ""if this is detected now or at anytime in the future," "I want this to go to me immediately" and alert me in real time that you're communicating with someone, things like that." " So I don't know who you are or anything about you." " Ok." "I work for Booz Allen Hamilton, defense contractor." "I am sort of on loan to NSA, I don't talk to Booz Allen boss," "I don't get tasking from Booz Allen, it's all from NSA." " So, I don't know your name." " Oh, sorry, my name is Edward Snowden," "I go by Ed." "Edward Joseph Snowden is the full name." "(spelling) S. N. O. W. D. E. N.." " And where are you from ?" " I'm originally..." "I was born in North Carolina, small town, Elizabeth City." "There is a Coast Guard station there," "I'm from a military family." "But I spent most of my time growing up around Fort Meade in Maryland." " And your family, what's the consequences for them?" " This is actually what has made this hardest." "My family doesn't know what's happening, they're unaware." "I don't think I'll be able to keep the family ties that I've had for all my life because of the risk of associating them with this." "And I'll leave what to publish and what not to publish to you guys," "I trust you'll be responsible on this." "But basically, the closer I stay to my family, the more likely they are to be leaned on." " So you don't want me to report this?" " We dont have ..." "I mean, we definitely want to do whatever we can not to include them or bring them into the mix" " Oh I'm sorry that's fine, I won't..." " I'm sorry I'm going to interrupt you." "Can we just stop for a second, do the document and then go back to that?" " What do I need?" "Do I need an email address that we're using or..." " Well you can send..." "Once you've encrypted it, you can send it from whatever you think is appropriate." "The main thing is you've got to encapsulate all of this in a way that it can't be decrypted and read once it's in transit across the network or on either of the end points." " Ok I mean just so you know these documents are basically all going to be uploaded within like 48 hours." " This is simply.." "You want to get in the process of doing this for everything because it seems hard but it's not hard, this is super easy." " Ok so just walk me through it." " Ok." "Show me the actual folder structure where these files are first." " How many documents did you say there were?" " Seven" " Ok well, while you're working..." " Ok go ahead" " How many documents are we talking about?" "Because in The Guardian, that Wikileaks, technical people set up a system so that they were available for anybody to see" "and I just wonder if it's possible to do the same thing." " That would be the ideal end game." "But because some of these documents are legitimately classified in ways that could cause harm to people and methods." "I'm comfortable in my technical ability to protect them." "I mean you could literally shoot me or torture me and I could not disclose the password, if I wanted to." "I have the sophistication to do that." "There are some journalists that I think could do that, but there are a number of them that couldn't." "But the question becomes, can an organization actually control that information in that manner without risking basically an uncontrolled disclosure?" "But I do agree with that, honestly" "I don't want to be the person making the decisions on what should be public and what shouldn't." "Which is why rather than publishing these on my own, or putting them out openly, I'm running them through journalists." "So that my bias, and my things, because clearly I have some strongly held views, are removed from that equation and the public interest is being represented in the most responsible manner." " Yeah." " Actually given your sort of..." "Geographic familiarity with the U.K and whatnot." "I'd like to point out that GCHQ has probably the most invasive..." " I know - network intercept program anywhere in the world." "It's called TEMPORA, (spelling) T. E. M. P. O. R. A." "and it's the world's first "full take", they call it, and that means content in addition to metadata on everything." " So this is what I'd like to do just in term of scheduling if it's good with everybody else." "Are you feeling you're done?" " Yeah yeah I'm done." " So, I'm anxious to go back, get those articles done and then there is a bunch of documents that aren't about those first two or three stories that I'd like to spend time with you..." " Sure yeah" " ...kinda going over." " I'm not going anywhere." " You're available?" "You want to check your book first?" " Let me check my schedule." " Is that good for you Laura?" "You want to..." " It's great." " OK" " Hello" " Yes" " My meal was great thank you very much" " No I still have some left and I think I'm gonna be eating it later so you can just leave me alone for now." " Ok great thank you so much, have a good one bye." "Let's fix that real quick." "So another fun thing I was telling Laura about this:" "all these new VOIP phones they have little computers in them and you can hot mike these over the network, all the time even when the receiver's down so... as long as it's plugged in it can be listening on." "And I haven't even considered that earlier." "But yeah..." " OK." " There are so many ways..." "This could be..." "Everything that's in here is pretty much gonna be on the public record at some point." "We should operate on that." " Yeah." "Yeah, I think..." "I think we are..." " So, do you have your air gapped machine with you?" " I do, I do." " Let me pop that out." " Do you have an understanding or commitment on when you guys are gonna to press for the first stories?" " It's very seven or eight in the morning in London." " Uh uh, OK." "Oh, let's see here." "Ok, hey look there's another one." "Pro tip, let's not leave the same SD cards in our laptops forever in the future." " Did you know this was still kicking around in your laptop?" " Yeah, I mean that was the... mmh..." " OK, just to make it sure." " OK, yeah." "This is it?" " Yeah." " OK." " Right there." " Thanks." "You will have a new one who will look exactly identical but it's a different archive." "So you might want to take a sharpie to it or something." "Could you pass me my magic mantle of power?" " Uh uh..." "Is that about possibility of overhead?" " Visual. yes, Visual collection." "I don't think at this point there is anything in this regards that would shock us." "We become pretty..." "Ewen you once said before, he's like, he's like:" "I'm never leaving my room," "I'm never leaving anything in my room again." "And the single machine..." "I was like you've been infected by the paranoia bug, happens to all of us." "He was like..." "I would never leave a single of these device, and I would never leave my and again alone." " My bag's getting heavier and heavier" " Exactly" "Alright, I'm gonna need you to enter your root password 'cause I don't know what it is." "If you wanna use this you're more than welcome, so uh .." " OK, looks like your root password's not 4 caracters long anyway." " it's usually a lot longer but that's just like a one time only thing, right?" " So, it is uh..." " It had been a lot longer but ever since I knew is that it was a one time only session," "I've been making it shorter." "Is that not good?" " It's actually not." "I was expressing this with Laura either." "The issue is because of the fact it's got a hardware MAC address and things like that, and if people are able to identify your machine and they're able to..." " This is the fact you're about to break the most upsetting story?" " Yeah, that's true." " So they might kinda prioritize" " It's ten letters I type very quickly." "Actually it's ten letters but..." " So ten letters would be good if they had to bruteforce the entire key space." "That would still probably only take a couple of days for NSA." "Uh..." "That's a fire alarm, OK..." " hopefully this just sounds like a 3 seconds test or is this..." "Do you wanna to call the desk and ask?" "It's fine." " Yeah, I don't think it's an issue, but it's interesting that I just." " did that happen before?" " Maybe they got mad cause they couldn't listen into us through the phone anymore." " Has the fire alarm gone off before?" " No that's the first time that has happened." "Let me... so just in case they have like an alert that goes to..." "That's unusual..." " We probably..." " We might have to evacuate." " Should we ignore that, I don't know?" " It's not continuous." " It's not continuous." "No, I'm just saying if it continues..." " And then we come and meet the guys down in the lobby." " Yeah, alright." " Yeah." " Yeah let's, let's leave for now when we'll have finished this up." "Not that they're gonna answer 'cause they probably have seven thousands calls." " Yeah." " Hi, we hear a loud buzzing on the tenth flour." "Can you tell us what that is?" "Ah, OK." "OK, great." "Thank you, bye." "Fire alarm testing, maintenance." " Yes. that's good, that's what I wanted to hear." " Nice of them to..." "Nice of them to let us know about it in advance." "Uhm, I just wanna give you kind of a quick tour, uh.." "when Laura was looking at this she was kind of salivating... and couldn't stop like actually reading these documents" " Right, right." "So we'll try and restrain ourselves although I don't promise that it will succeed." " I just wanna kinda explain a brief overview of what these are and how they're organized." "On the beginning of document of interest, the primary purposes of the second archive is to bring the focus over to" "SSO as opposed to PRISM." "This is in general." "SSO are the Special Source Operations." "This is the world wide passive collection on networks they're both domestic to the US and international." "There's a lot of different ways they do it but, uh corporate partnerships are one of the primary things, they do domestically they also do this for multinationals that might be headquarted in the US so they can kinda coerce" "or just pay into giving them access." "And they also do bilaterally with the assistance of certain governments." "And that's based on the premise that they go" ""All right, we'll help you set the system up if you give us all the data from it"." "Hum, there's... there's a lot more here than any one person or probably one team could do." " Right" "Hum, XKEYSCORE Deep Dive." "XKEYSCORE in general, and there's a huge folder of documentation on XKEYSCORE and how it works, is the front-end system that analysts use" "for querying that sort of ocean of raw singing that I was telling you about." "All that stuff where you can sort of do the retroactive searches, live searches, get flagging, what not." "XKEYSCORE is the front-end for that." "I'm just gonna show you one slide here, 'cause Laura thought it was valuable on this talk on kinda how these capabilities ramp up in sophistication over time." "This is kinda nice." "As of fiscal year 2011, they could monitor 1 billion telephones and internet sessions simultanously, per one of these devices, and they can collect at a rate of 125 Gigabytes a second," "which is a Terabit per second." " That's for each one of these?" " That's for each one of these, yeah." " How many TUMULT missions would that be then?" " Part of this, back then there were 20 sites, there's ten at DOD installations." "But these are all outdated, we've expanded pretty rapidly." "But still 20 sites, that's at least 20 billion." " This all need to get out." "You know what I mean, it's like..." "Just in terms of understanding, the capabilities, it's so opaque." " It's not science fiction." "This stuff is happening right now." " No, that's what I mean, it's like..." "The magnitude of it, and like this a pretty inaccessible technical document." "But, even this it's really chilling, you know what I mean?" "Yeah, I mean, we should be having debates about whether we want Government" "I mean this is massive and extraordinary." "It's amazing..." "Even though you know it..." "Even though you know that... to see it like the physical blueprints of it and sort of the technical expressions of it, brutally hits home like..." "in a super visceral way that is so needed." "This is CNN Breaking news" "An explosive new report is re-igniting the concerns that your privacy is being violated to protect America's "security"." "It reveals a court order giving the National Security Agency blanket access to millions of Verizon customer's records on a daily basis." "Earlier I had the chance to conduct the first TV interview with the reporter who broke this story wide open," "Glenn Greenwald, of The Guardian." "Congratulations on the scoop!" "Explain for our viewers why this is important?" "It's important because people have understood that the law that this was done under, which is the Patriot Act enacted in the wake of 9/11." "Was a law that allowed the government very broad powers to get records about people with a lower level of suspicion and probable cause to traditional standards." "So it has always been assumed that under the Patriot Act, if the government had even any suspicion that you where involved in a crime or terrorism, they could get a lot of information about you." "What this court order does that makes it so striking is that it's not directed at any individuals who they believe or have suspicion of committing crime or a part of a terrorist organization." "It's collecting the phone records of every single customer of Verizon business and finding out every single call that they've made internationally and locally." "So it's indiscriminant and it's sweeping." "It's a Government program designed to collect information about all Americans not just people where they believe there is reason to think they've done anything wrong." "It's a tough situation" "You know hearing that the person that you love that you've spent the decade with may not be coming back." " What did they ask her?" " Hum..." "When was the last time she saw me?" "Where am I?" "What am I doing?" "Hum.. you know." "What does she know about my illness?" "Things like that." "So yeah they're pretty solidly aware." "Cause she's..." "I'm clearly not at home ill." " Hello, hello" " Hello, let me disconnect from the Internet." " So there is some news?" " Yes there was indeed some news." " I have config today, I think, maybe just a few hours ago." " What kind of people does it...?" " An HR lady I'm assuming from NSA as opposed to Booz Allen." "Because she has was accompanied by a police officer which mean the NSA police and they're planning to break into my house which regular police don't do." " Does she lives there?" " Yeah she lives there so I told her to cooperate fully" "I can't find my phone just one second." "and don't worry about herself" "You know what I gonna do, I'll just take out the stuff I want to use." " OK" " OK well look I mean this is not a surprise at all." " Not yeah I know I planned for it but it's just you know when it's impacting and when they're talking to you it's a little bit different." " Absolutely" " But it's possible that they just noticed that you're missing" "I guess it's not really possible." " It is but yeah they're I mean" "Hum..." "let me just get rid of this." "So I obviously was focused on other things than appearance this morning." " How was she?" "How does she reacted?" "Was she relatively calm about it?" " She's relatively calm." " Does she know anything about what you're doing?" " She has, she has no idea and that's I mean I feel badly about that but that's the only way I could think of where like she can't be in trouble." " Did you just basically do a "I have to go somewhere for reasons that I can't tell you about" kind of thing?" " I just disappeared when she was on vacation and I left a note saying" ""Hey I'm gonna be away for a while for work"" "which isn't unusual for me in my business" " Right you know so" " OK so let me ask a couple things just quickly." "Are they gonna be able to go into your stuff and figure out what you took?" " Hum in some kind of some sort of like peripheral sense but not necessarily" " Yes because I cast such a wide net" "I they do that the only thing they're gonna do is they're gonna have a heart attack because they're gonna go "He had access to everything"" " Yeah and they not gonna know what specifically has been done." "I think they're gonna start to actually feel a little better although they're not gonna be wild about this in any case." "When they see that the stories are kind of cleaving to a trend you know it's not like" ""Here is the list of everybody who works everywhere"" " Right" " I also think you know there're gonna be paranoid in the extreme and assuming all kind of worst case scenarios" "which is gonna you know I think make them react in ways that probably aren't like gonna be particularly rational on their part" "but at the same time there's..." "I do think they're limited for the moment." " I agree and I mean, I had kind of time to set a stage where we all enjoy at least a minimum level of protection you know no matter who we are who's involved in this you know you're either a journalist" " Right or you're either out of jurisdiction so we have some time to play this before they can really get nasty." "I think it's over you know the weeks when they have times to get lawyers, really sort of go" ""This is a special situation how can we interpret this to our advantage?"" "like we seen them do this all the time you know whether it's drones or wiretapping or whatever they'll go." "Well according to this law from the 1840's you know" " Yeah yeah of course we can apply x, y to the Authority." "But that takes time and that takes agreement." "Yeah and also you know I mean I think the more public we are out there to like as journalists and the more protection it's gonna give as well." " Have you started to give thoughts to when you're ready to come forward?" " I'm ready whenever huh honestly I think there is sort of an agreement that it's not going to bias the reporting process." "That's my primary concern at this point." "I don't want to get myself into the issue before it's gonna happen anyway and where it takes away for the stories that are getting out." "We're talking about tens of millions of Americans who weren't suspected of doing anything who were surveilled in this way." "...thoughts for a moment, I want to continue this conversation, these are really important sensitive issues and the public out there has the right to know what's going on..." "Stand by..." "This is CNN breaking news" "Another explosive article has just appeared this time in the Washington Post it's breaking news and it reveals another broad and secret US government surveillance program." "The Washington Post and The Guardian in London reporting that the NSA and the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading Internet companies including Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, AOL, Skype, YouTube and Apple." "Reports says they're extracting audio, video, photographs, e-mails, documents and connection logs that enable analysts to track a person's movements and context over time." "Let's discuss this latest revelation that coming out fast," "Bill Binney, the formal official of the NSA who quit back in 2001, you were angry about what was going on you've been known as a whistleblower right now." " Bill, what do you think about this Washington Post story?" " Well, I assume it's just the continuation of what they've been doing all along." " So you're not surprised?" " No" " Do you have any idea who's leaking this information?" " I don't know who leaked this," "I have no doubt that the administration will launch an investigation not into who approved these programs but into who leaked the information." "I'm not shocked they come to denying it, I don't assume that..." " Do you believe it?" " There're maybe some technical basis on which they can say that we are not actively collaborating or they don't have what we consider in our definition to be direct access to our servers but what I do know is that I've talked to" "more that one person who has sat at a desk at a web portal and typed out commands and reached into those servers from a distance." "So, whatever they want to call that, that's what's happening." "Hold on, what are we calling the single biggest infringement on American civil liberties probably of all time, isn't it?" " ...we already have the New York Times now today saying that the Administration has lost all credibility." " The New York Times slammed President Obama for this and frankly I was used to that the New York Times used to slam George Bush for protecting the country for the steps he took." "I don't want us to drop our guard." "I don't want us to be struck again as we saw in Boston," "I understand, people are willing to sacrifice their civil liberties, people are sheltered inside which is enough..." " How can you believe in freedom, do you see?" "I mean try and play the devil's advocate for me, when you have secret courts, secret operations like PRISM, secret investigations which go into every spit and cough of every American's lives without any Member of the American public" "knowing about it." "That's not freedom is it?" " In 2008, they eliminated the warrant requirement for all conversations except ones that takes place by and among Americans exclusively on America's soil." "So they don't need warrants now for people who are foreigners outside of the US but they also don't need warrants for Americans who are in the United States communicating with people reasonably believed to be outside of the US." "So again, the fact that there are no checks, no oversight about who's looking over the NSA's shoulder, means that they can take whatever they want and the fact that it's all behind a wall" "of secrecy and they threaten people who want to expose it means that whatever they're doing even violating the law is something we're unlikely to know until we start having real investigations and real transparency into what it is the government is doing." "Glenn Greenwald, congratulations again on exposing what is a true scandal," "I appreciate you joining me." "Hey I just heard from Lindsay and huh..." "she's still alive, which is good and free." "My rent checks apparently are no longer getting through to my landlord so they said if we don't pay them in five days we will be evicted, which is strange because I got a system set up that automatically pays them." "So there is that apparently there is construction trucks all over the street" "of my house, so that's, I wonder what they're looking for." "It is..." "It is an unusual feeling that's kind of hard to... hard to like, describe or convey in words but not knowing what's gonna happen in the next days, the next hour or the next week" "it's scary but at the same time it's liberating, you know, the planning comes a lot easier because you don't have that many variables to take into plate, you can only act, and then act again." "Now all these phone calls are being recorded digitally not for content but for origin and destination now word the government is going right into the servers of these large Internet companies." " How does the government politically speaking make the argument that this is essential to National Security and not a dramatic overreach in terms of personal privacy?" " It's difficult Matt, because as Peter was pointing out, overnight we had an extraordinary late night close to midnight announcement and a declassification from the Director of National Intelligence." "They are scrambling, the Administration is already supported strongly by leaders in both parties from the Intelligence Committees." "GCHQ has an internal Wikipedia at the top secret you know, super classified level where anybody working intelligence can work on anything they want." "That's what this is, I'm giving it to you, you can make the decision on that what's appropriate what's not." "Hum it's gonna be documents of, you know, different types, pictures and Power Points and Word documents." "Stuff like that ..." " Sorry can I take that seat?" " Yeah" " Sorry, I'm sorry I've got used to repeat, so in these documents, they will show..." " Yeah there will be a couple more documents on that, that's only one part though, like it talks about Tempora and a little more thing that's the wiki article itself." "It was also talking about a self-developed tool called UDAQ U.D.A.Q. it's their search tool for all the stuff they collect was what it looked like." " Yeah" " Hum it's gonna be projects, it's gonna be troubleshooting pages for a particular tool." " Thanks" " And, the next step, when do you think you'll go public?" " Arh..." "I think it's pretty soon, I mean, with the reaction, this escalated more quickly," "I think pretty much as soon as they start trying to make this about me which should be any day now." " Yeah" " Hum I'll come out just to go hey, you know, this is not a question of somebody skulking around in the shadows." "These are public issues, these are not my issues you know these are everybody's issues," "I'm not afraid of you, you know, you're not gonna bully me in the silence like you've done to everybody else and if no body else is gonna do it I will" "and hopefully when I'm gone whatever you do to me, there will be somebody else who will do the same thing." "It will be the sort of Internet principle you know, of the Hydra:" "you can stop one person but there is gonna be seven more of us." " Yeah" "Are you getting more nervous?" " I mean... no." "I think the way I look at stress... particularly because" "I sort of knew this was coming..." "because I sort of volunteered to walk into it." "I'm already sort of familiar with the idea." "I'm not worried about it." "When somebody like busts in the door suddenly" "I'll get nervous and it'll affect me but until they do, you know..." " Yeah, yeah." "But until they do umm... you know." "I'm eating a little less that's the only difference I think." " Let's talk about the issue with when we're gonna say who you are." " Yeah" " This is, you know, you have to talk me through this because I have a big worry about this." " OK tell me" " Which is that..." "if we come out and" "I know that you believe that your detection is inevitable and that it's inevitable imminently." "There is, you know, in the New York Times today Charlie Savage the fascinating" "Sherlock Holmes of political reporting deduced that the fact that there has been these leaks in succession probably means that there's some one person that decided to leak..." " Somebody else quoted you saying it was one of your readers" " Yeah" " And somebody else is putting on things" " Yeah so you know, I mean it's fine I want people to, I wanted to be like" " Yeah" " You know like this is a person, I want to start introducing the concept of this is a person who has a particular set of political objectives about informing the world about what's taking place." "Like you know, I'm keeping it all anonymous totally but I want to start introducing you in that kind of incremental way." "But here's the thing." "What I'm concerned about it that if come out and say here's who this is, here's what he did the whole thing that we talked about." "Then we're gonna basically be doing the government's work for them and we're gonna basically be handing them you know a confession" "and helping them identify who find it." "I mean maybe you're right, maybe they'll find out quickly and maybe they'll know but is there any possible idea that they won't?" "Are we kind of giving them stuff that we don't...?" "Or..." " It's possible that they already know but they don't want to reveal it because they don't know..." " Or that they don't know and we're gonna be telling them like is it a possibility that they're gonna need like 2 3 months or uncertainty and we're gonna be solving their problem for them?" "or let me just say the or part maybe it doesn't matter to you, maybe you want it, maybe, I mean, you're not coming out because you think inevitably they're gonna catch you and you want to do it first," "you're coming out because you want to fucking come out and..." " Oh there is that, I mean that's the thing," "I don't want to hide on this and skulk around," "I don't think I should have to obviously there is circumstances that are saying that." "I think it is powerful to come out and be like look I'm not afraid and I don't think other people should either, you know, I was sitting in the office right next to you last week," "we all have a stake in this, this is our country and the balance of power between the citizenry and the government is becoming that of the ruling and the ruled as opposed to actually, you know, the elected and the electorate." " OK so that's what I need to hear, that this is not about..." " But I do want to say, I don't think there is a case that I'm not gonna be discovered, in the fullness of time." "It's just a question of time for me." "You're right, it could take them a long time, I don't think it will but I didn't try to hide the footprint because again I intended to come forward." " OK I'm gonna post this morning just a general defense of whistleblowers and you in particular without saying anything about you." "I'm gonna go post that right when I get back and I'm also doing like a big fuck you to all the people who keep like talking about investigations like that." "I want that to be like... the fearlessness and the fuck you to like the bullying tactics, has go to be completely preventing every thing we do." " I think that's brilliant." "I mean your principles on this I love," "I can't support them enough because it is, it's inverting the model of the government has laid out where people where trying to, you know, say the truth, skulk around, and then hide in the dark," "and then quote anonymously." "I say yes, fuck that, let's just..." " OK, so here is the plan then, I mean, and this is a thing, it's like once, I think we all just felt the fact that this is the right way to do it." "You feel the power of your choice, you know what I mean, it's like I want that power to be felt in the world." " OK" " and it is the..." "it's the ultimate standing up to them right like I'm not gonna fucking hide even for one second," "I'm gonna get right in your face, you don't have to investigate, there's nothing to investigate, here I am!" "You know, and I think that is just incredibly powerful, and then the question just becomes how do we do this in the right, you know the perfect way, that's my burden and that's what I'm gonna spend..." "So today it's gonna be this story in the morning, assuming that it doesn't change in The Guardian, it's gonna be this story in the morning, just to keep the mental going, just to keep like the disclosures coming." "A big one at night, now it's becoming like" ""OK, this is a major leak"" "and after today when we post the two stuff things that we're gonna post." "It's gonna be "what the fuck is this leak and who did it?"" "I guarantee you." "I just want to make sure, move over slightly..." " Do you want me to move a little move over..." " I just wanna move... all right" " OK" " We are ready" " So let's us begin with some basic background information like just state your name, what position you held in intelligence community and how long you worked within that community" " OK, uh... just some..." "how are we going, like, in depth or are we going like in general, like I'm currently an infrastructure analyst, you know," "Booz Allen Hamilton, not going through my whole back story" " Yes" " OK," " Just like summary kind of" " OK" " My Name is Ed Snowden, I'm 29 years old," "I work for Booz Allen Hamilton as an infrastructure analyst for NSA in Hawaii." " And what are some of the positions that you held previously within the intelligence community?" " I've been a system engineer, system administrator, uh... senior advisor, uh..." "for the, Central Intelligence Agency, solutions consultant and a telecommunications information systems officer." " And what kind of clearances have..." "have you held, what kinda classification?" " Uh..." "Top secret," "So, people in my levels of access for systems administration or as a infrastructure analyst typically have higher accesses than an NSA employee would normally have." "Normal NSA employees have a combination of clearances called" "TS SI TK and Gamma." "Uh, that's a Top Secret Signals Intelligence Talent Keyhole and Gamma." "And they all relate to certain things that are sort of core to the NSA mission." "As a systems administrator you get a special clearance called PrivAcc for Privileged Access, which allows you to be exposed to informations of any classification regardless of what your position actually needs." "Monday" "June 10, 2013" "Just before we go, a remind of our top story, and that's the full map, CIA typically worked at Edward Snowden says he's responsible for leaking information that US authorities have been monitoring phone and Internet data." "The US justice deparment confirmed it is the first stages of a criminal investigation." " Leave it long or got it shorter, what do you think?" "As far as the video the people saw." "Am I less identifiable now?" " lose it?" " lose it?" "Cause I can't go all the way down, it's still gonna be stubble." "I don't have the blade for closer." " Will you be talking to any other media about this story today?" " I am." " Uh, will you be coming to our office" " ... about where is Snowden now, what his plans are?" " No, I won't talk about that, so unless you have any other questions..." " OK" " What are you plans please?" "Are you staying in Hong Kong for a the time being?" " For a little while." " And do you have any hopes to write more about this story or are you stopping new writing about this story?" " No, I'm gonna continue to write about it." " Have you had any pressure from the US Authorities about continuing to report on this?" " No." " And have you heard anything about what could be... asked you the Hong Kong Authorities towards this case, whether they contacted you or asked you anything about the whereabouts of Snowden and whether that's just another..." " I haven't heard about the Authorities of any Government." " And do, where do you think this story is going then?" "For you and of course for Snowden and of course for the US media and the US Administration in general?" " Uh, for me, I'm gonna continue to report." "Reporting on what the Government has been doing and what I think people should know about." "As for him I don't think anyone knows ... people come after me or any of their third partners you know they work closely with a number of other nations or you know they could pay off the trial you know any of their agents are assets ..." "A criminal investigation the whistleblower..." "monitoring phone calls and Internet data goes public..." "Security forces in Afghanistan say a number of..." "Now it's time for our news paper review and looking at what's making headlines around the world." "Let's start with The Guardian our top story which is revealing the identity of the former CIA employee." "The paper says he leaks information exposing the scale of American's surveillance of the Internet." "Edward Snowden, what a great story..." "Well I think it's a fantastic story this could be straight out from a John Le Carré novel" "I mean when you read what he did, yes he got the material, he then decided to go to a place he identified to be very difficult for America to get at him" " God dammit which is Hong Kong because of course technically inside China, the one country two systems policy there meaning he would get potentially some protection, he thought, all very well planned, could be just out of a spy novel." "But what about the details." " That could make it worse." "But just the lower half of my face." "Snowden says he'd become increasingly dismay by what he saw as the growing power of the NSA." "And it's his decision to pass on documents which is said to reveal the organisation monitored millions of phone calls but that it had direct access to some of the..." " How do you feel?" "...Internet companies in the world." " uuh what happens, happens." "We've uh we've talked about this" "I knew what the risks and if I get arrested, I get arrested," "we were able to get the information that needed to get out, out." "And you and Glenn are able to keep reporting regardless what happens to me." "Now 29 year old Edward Snowden says that US intelligence agencies gathered millions of phone records and monitored Internet data..." " Yes." "I'm sorry who's asking?" " I'm afraid you have the wrong room thank you." "Wall Street Journal." " Yes." "I'm sorry say again?" "Uh, no thank you." "No calls." "I think they have the wrong number." "Yeah, no calls." "Thank you." "Uh wait I'm sorry if it's two men from the front desk they can call but no outside calls." "Wait actually just..." "let them through." "Wait, wait m'am?" "Fuck" " Yes." "Wait is it a lawyer?" "Yeah, no no no I mean, the people who are asking." "Ask them if they are lawyers." "No tell her that she has the wrong number and there is no Mr. Snowden here." "Would you mind to talk in speakerphone?" " Sorry" " Hi." "I'm the client" " Pretty good." "I'm doing well" " Ok" " Ok" " Ok, that's great." "Is it OK if i bring equipment?" "Because i'm just kind of going, so i can leave in any direction, at any time, and not come back." "If necessary." " Ok, that sounds good." " Thank you, thank you so much for helping us." " Yeah..." "And so, is there a precedent for this where Hong Kong would extradite someone for political speech ?" ""The President surely does not welcome the way that this debate has earned a greater attention the last week, the leaked classified information about sensitive programs that are important in our fight against terrorists who would do harm to Americans is a problem," "but the debate itself is legitimate and should be engaged." " Right, so which one do we want here then." "This is operational stuff, so we mustn't say any of this." " So redact that." " Go near the top" " What about the Alexander's quote, is that something ..." " Yeah." "That's in TARMAC." ""Why can't we collect all the signals all the times?" "Sounds like a good summer homework project for Menwith"" "Keith Alexander the head of the NSA on a visit to the UK." "This one." " Yeah." " Yeah." "It's a secret document in that secret document." "We've got a stick here that should just have three single slides on it." "If it's got more than three single slides, we have to be extremely careful." " Yeah?" " Yeah, that's it." "This is really dangerous stuff for us, Guardian" "If we make mistakes, ...very angry." "We kept it all under lock and key and no one knows." "No, I'm not saying that." " OK" " They will come in and snap the front door down if we elaborate on that..." "And he said..." "The Prime Minister is extremely concerned about this." "And they kept saying, "this is from the very top."" "As you can see on this map the flight that probably has Snowden aboard, has almost reached its destination here in Moscow's scheduled plan, in the Russian capital within minutes..." "As you may have heard, there is a CIA agent who has revealed a lot of information and he is now trapped in the" "airport in Moscow" "We managed to get him out of Hong Kong, but when he landed in the Moscow airport, the American government had canceled his passport." "So formally he hasn't entered into Russian territory, he is in the transit area of the airport" "And one of our people is accompanying him" "We are trying to arrange a private jet to take him from Moscow to Ecuador or perhaps maybe Venezuela or maybe Iceland, countries where he would be safe." "May I collect all the phones please?" "I have everything in here" "Put them in the refrigerator" " So, as you know, in June," "Snowden was in charge with 3 legal violations felonies" "Principaly under a World War I era criminal law called the Espionage Act" "The Espionage Act is an extremely broad criminal prohibition against" "the sharing or dissemination of what's called "National Defense information"" "it was only used to prosecute people who had been accused of acting with a foreign power, spies not whistleblowers and it's a very unusual legal representation I think not just for all of you, but for me as well." "The Espionage Act has not distinguished between leaks to the press and the public interest, and selling secrets to foreign enemies for personal profit." "So, under the Espionage Act it's not a defense if the information that was disclosed should not have been withheld in the first place, that it was improperly classified." "It's not a defense if the dissemination was in the public interest that it led to reforms." "Even if the court determines that the programs that were revealed were illegal or unconstitutional." "that's still not a defense under the Espionage Act, the Government doesn't have to defend the classification, it doesn't have to demonstrate harm from the release," "All this is irrelevant." "So when we say that the trial wouldn't be fair, we are not talking about what human rights lawyers think of this fair trial practices" "We are saying the law, the statute itself, eliminates any kind of defense that Snowden might be able to make and essentially will equate him with a spy." "And of course those three counts could be increased to a hundreed or two hundreed or three hundreed, they could charge him separately for each document that has been published by a journalist." "And I think that we all recognize, even though we sit here as lawyers in a lawyer's meeting that it's propably 95% politics and 5% law." "How this would be resolved." ""Mr. Snowden has been charged with very serious crimes and he should be returned to the United States where he would be granted full due process and every right available to him as a United States citizen." "Facing our justice system under the Constitution."" "No, I don't think Mr. Snowden was a Patriot." "I called for a federal review of our surveillance operations before Mr. Snowden made these leaks." "My preference, and I think the American people's preference, would have been for a lawful, orderly examination of these laws." "A thoughtful, fact based debate, that would then lead us to a better place." " Oh my God." "David." "Hello my baby." " I'm OK." " You're OK?" " I just wanna go home." " OK, OK OK." "You just have to walk..." " How are you?" " Good, good." "I'm totally fine, I didn't sleep at all, I couldn't sleep." " I know." ""Brazil Demands Explanation from UK Government"" "Recent reports have revealed that the NSA have access to encryption keys and they paid tech companies to introduce backdoors in encryption protocols" "So we are going to talk about ways in which we can defend ourselves against governments spying on us." "So Mr. Jacob Appelbaum, as an encryption and security software developper, and journalist." "Ladar Levison, the founder of the encrypted email service" "Lavabit used by Edward Snowden." "You have the floor." "Thank you" "Lavabit is an email service that hopefully one day will be able to stand on its own without any references to Snowden." "My service was designed to remove me from the possibility of being forced to violate a person's privacy." "Quite simply" "Lavabit was designed to remove the service provider from the equation, by not having logs on my server and not having access to a person's emails on disk," "I wasn't elimitating the possibility of surveillance," "I was simply removing myself from that equation." "And that surveillance would have to be conducted on the target either the sender or the receiver of the messages." "But I was approached by the FBI quite recently, and told that because I couldn't turn over the information from that one particular user," "I would be forced to give up those SSL keys and let the FBI collect every communication on my network without any kind of transparency." "And of course," "I wasn't comfortable with that, to say the least!" "More disturbing was the fact that I couldn't even tell anybody that it was going on." "So I decided:" ""If I didn't win the fight to unseal my case, if I didn't win the battle to be able to tell people what was going on, then my only ethical choice left was to shutdown"." "Think about that." "I believe in the rule of law, I believe in the need to conduct investigations, but those investigations are supposed to be difficult for a reason." "It's supposed to be difficult to invade somebody's privacy." "Because of how intrusive it is, because of how disruptive it is." "If we can't, if we don't have a right to privacy, how do we have a free and open discussion?" "What good is the right to free speech, if it's not protected, in a sense that you can't have a private discussion with somebody else about something you disagree with." "Think about the chilling effect that that has." "Think about the chilling effect it does have on countries that don't have a right to privacy." "I've noticed a really interesting discussion point which is that what people used to call liberty and freedom we now call privacy." "And we say in the same breath that privacy is dead." "This is something that really concerns me about my generation especially when we talk about how we're not surprised by anything." "I think that we should consider that when we lose privacy we lose agency, we lose liberty itself because we no longer feel free to express what we think." "There is this myth of the passive surveillance machine but actually what is surveillance except control?" "This notion that the NSA are passive this is nonsense what we see is that they actively attack" "European citizens, American citizens and, in fact, anyone that they can if they perceive an advantage." " OK." "Right." " I have to give that in testimony." " What are you going to tell?" " Everything I can truthfully." " What will you talk about?" " Uh, whatever the questions they ask me." " Yeah I think it's over there." " Ok, it's alright." "Thank you." " Hey, how are you?" " Good." " How are you?" " Good to see you again." " Nice to meet you again, yes." " Yeah" " What do you think they're doing to reporters, those of us that are working directly with..." "Snowden documents?" "How do you think they would approach dealing with people like us?" " You're.." "You're on a cast iron cover list." "Which means any electronic device you use that they can attach to you they all record and capture all that data." " And what do they do with that data?" "They're just trying to figure out what we're doing?" " Uh, well the primary..." "That's part of it." "But the other part, primarily part, is for them." "I think it's to find the sources of information you're getting." " So if I have a confidential source who's giving me information as a whistleblower, and he works within the US Government, and he's concerned about what he perceives as violation of the Constitution, uhm... and he gets in touch with me, they..." " Yeah..." " Go ahead." "Yeah." " Yeah." "From there on, they would nail him and start watching everything he did." "and if you start passing data, I'm sure they'd take him off the street." "I mean, the way you have to do it is like Deep Throat did, right?" "In the Nixon years, meet in a basement of a parking garage... physically." "Let's disassociate our metadata one last time." "So we don't have a clear record of your true name in our final communication chain." "This is obviously not to say you can't claim your involvement, but as every trick in the book is likely to be used and looking into this," "I believe it's better, that that particular disclosure come on your own terms." "Thank you again for all you've done." "So sorry again for the multiple delays." "But we've been entering a territory with no model to benefit from." "If all ends well, perhaps the demonstration that our mess has worked would embolden more to come forward" "Citizen." " So the update that I want to give you is about the new, uh.. the new source that, that we..." " OK." " that... uh, this is what... this is the... you know this is the person who is doing the... the most of the..." " Right, right, right." " ...the work on it, uh..." "And now... and now, what basically, what happens is..." " and..." " That's actually..." "That's really dangerous... uh, on the source's side." "Do they know how to take care of themselves..." " Well he knows..." " ...or do you know anything about..." " ...he means it's, uh..." "It's all being done.." "through this..." " OK." " and they're all talking this way..." " OK." " and, uh..." " I was gonna say one of the big questions there is:" "can they handle it?" "You know with..." " Yeah, they're very careful... even they're through that." " OK" " Yeah." " And..." " That's what that is." " Wow, that's really something." " Oh, oh..." " Did you know that?" "One key thing:" "ALL drone strikes are done through Ramstein Air Base in Germany" " German govt has always denied this." "Will be a huge controversy." " It's not the actual plan." " Right, right right." "You mean the control." " It's the process, who's sending the..." " Yeah." " There's a..." "There's a chart." "You know, it goes like a whole layout in it for everyone and it's..." " Yeah." "It's really bold, but it's really risky." "But you know that... that's the thing if..." " There's more..." " ... if they understand what they're doing." " There's this chart, it goes like this..." "It shows the decision making chart." "It's a chart..." "It's, it's... it's shaped like this." " Hum hum..." " So up here it says "POTUS" (President of the Uniteed States)" " That's the decision making chart for each... one." " And..." " And it's so political..." " This is..." "This part's amazing." " That's..." " That's fucking ridiculous." " This..." "This is... it's so shocking." " (laugh) That's..." " No, I know..." " That's..." " ..." "I know..." "There are 1.2 m people on various stages of their watch list." " ... the population of an entire country." " I know." " That's... what we're working on." " That person is incredibly bold, but, uh..." " But also very well aware." " Right." "I..." "You know, I just hope." "I mean..." " No, I mean... the boldness of it is shocking, but I mean it was obviously.." " But the other thing is just..." " ...motivated by what you did, I mean, it..." " This is going to..." "This is going to..." "That could raise a profile of this whole political situation with whistleblowing to a whole new level, because..." " exactly..." " It's gonna..." " Yeah, I mean..." "I actually think that's a great thing." "And I think people are gonna see what's being hidden... again, again.." "by a totally different part of the government." "POTUS"

"What... are you doing sneaking up like a thief..." "Nothing, I was just looking for something..." "Do you think I'd buy that?" "How convenient for you to have something to look for when no one's home, yeah right..." "Yeah, that's true..." " Are they sleeping?" " They must be." " What..." "What are you doing..." " What do you think?" "Isn't this why you've sneaked into my room?" "What?" "No, Never!" "Why not..." "There's no one but us..." "Seung-Jo, what are you..." "Seung-Jo!" "We should take this relationship properly and slowly..." "Proper?" "relationship?" "Proper what..." "Ah, you came?" "What is it?" "What's got into Hani?" "Her face's so on fire!" "Really?" "I don't know...?" "Jerk... always make fun of me..." "What a stupid girl I am..." "After all that humiliation..." "Hey, Doong..." "is it supposed to be like this?" "I can't control my heart..." "Hey, do you see Hani's name?" " No, I don't." " So, she's out?" "She's out of the study room?" "Of course, it was all Seung-Jo's, right?" "It wasn't that good anyway, and the honors' people are weird too..." "Anyhow... among those many colleges, Why is none of them for us?" "There should be..." "There must be a school for you, somewhere!" "Counselor's office" "OK, you should try the college admission on special ground." "Admission on special ground?" "Actually special admission requires good grades, considerable awards, or" "You have to be really really good at one thing at least." "But, this means that someone who's not so good at anything now." "Can be accepted to a college if there's potential." " Ah... potential." " Ok!" "let's see if there's a spot right for you." "Ok, has your grandfather been granted with national merit for Korea's independence?" " What about on mom's side." " Really?" "Ah, well..." "Hani, your mom's father..." "He was the doorman..." "Palbok's Noodle I see... he was in business then..." "Oh!" "Has your father been involved in some kind of special force operation?" "Special force?" "Well..." "I've got something special for this dough..." "And!" "You could be a child head of household!" "Hey sweety, Shall I just be gone...?" "Well... you are not from a minority family...?" " Minority family?" " Yeah, think about it, dad!" "Didn't mom speak Thai all of a sudden... or else?" "Thai...?" "Tdhom-Yang-Keung" "How can there be no place you could apply to." "Hey, stop that, that's so annoying." "The House of Blood Drive?" " You can have it..." "I got a lot." " Do you donate blood a lot?" "Twice a month?" "I do hemapheresis quite often though." "You should've told me so!" "One blood drive gives you ten hours of community service!" "Really?" "So, ten times mean 100 hours?" "That's right!" "Got it!" "Special admission for social contribution!" "Parang University, Department of Social Science!" " Parang University?" " Yup, isn't it cool?" "You're applying to Parang too, right?" "Yeah, for animation, Miss Gangyi wants me to try it." "So you two are going to Parang University?" "That's after I get accepted." "If my application goes through." "They say the interview's very hard." "I've got the art practical exam." "Man... but she never say anything to me, how could she?" "Parang University?" "What do you want?" "Look ya." "Ya need ta stop eat'n, man!" "I eat when I'm pissed!" "Give it back!" "Hey, Juri... I was wondering when you'd show up, since Hani's here." "Stop it." "Did you put some kind of tracking device on Hani?" "How can you always show up wherever she's at?" "Ya still don't know it?" "Hani is da navigation in ma life." "She tells me where to go, how to go, she's ma destiny and ma speedometer." "Navigation?" "Yeah, right..." "Anyway, I don't see your background, where's the rest?" "Ma guys went for an audition." "They wanna be singers." "Oh, really?" "I thought they wanted to be auditioners." "Cuz, they keep auditioning." "What d'ya mean by that, You I'ttle." "What?" "You little, what?" "Isn't that Seung-Jo over there?" "What?" "Our school has very long history and heritage." "We have educated so many elites working in various fields now." "And the Ivy league in the US..." "Who is that?" "What are they talking about?" "Special ability, special, something special..." "Special ability, well..." "You're working hard." "Of course, unlike you know who, I do my job as a teacher." "Who me?" "Do you think I don't work?" "I'm a teacher too." "Excuse me!" "The thing I asked you before?" "What?" "Ah the principal's recommendation letter?" "I don't think it's..." "How can I ask him to write it for one of the tenth percentile students?" "Hani..." "She made the top 50 from the bottom, even in a week." "If that's not her potential, what is?" "That's what special ground means!" "Still, but look!" "Think about the students who got accepted last year." "70% of them ranked above the 70th percentile!" "Passion alone doesn't make a good teacher, OK?" "You have to guide your students to face the reality!" "If Hani gets the admittance to Parang University, then you call me your son!" "Very passionate..." "Excuse..." "Take it... lt's a vitamin C. You put it in water." "I've never known you're a human until now!" "You love me, I knew it!" "I'm finished!" "Personal essay... attach file..." "OK!" "Now, I'll just click on 'apply' and done!" "What!" "What's wrong!" "Why doesn't it come up." "What?" "Error report?" "Click here?" "click!" "Uh what?" "Your data will be lost or damaged...?" "How is it coming?" "Why have you downloaded so many junk codecs!" "I didn't do it..." "What am I gonna do!" "What am I gonna do..." "I'm so..." "Don't worry about it Hani, OK?" "He'll save it... lt's due in a minute..." "You shut up!" "You're just so annoying me." " lt's back!" " ls it?" "is the application safe?" " lt's still there!" " ls it?" "So it's not gone?" "Yes, he got it back!" "Wow!" "Thank you!" "Stop stupid cheering act, and hurry up, finish applying." "Yes." "Whew, thank goodness, finish it quick and come down for dinner." "Come, Eunjo." "Come on." "What?" "Thank you." "Social Science major, Parang University?" "Yeah, but I've got little chance..." "my grades are too bad..." "You made all that fuss for little chance?" "But I gotta do whatever I could do..." "Why would you go to college?" "Huh?" "What do you mean why?" "To study." "You are terrible at studying, you don't even like it, but to study more?" "Pish, not just to study... but I can find my own thing, you know?" "What I like to do..." "and what I can be good at." "How do you know if you like something?" "Of course you know, your heart starts pounding." "When you find what you like, it beats, here." "My dad says his heart still pounds when he smells the noodle being dried." "I like to get that kind of feeling too..." "Hey!" "Just finish it!" "I've never thought about why we should go to college." "A genius has a genius's own problem too." "So, he's kind of opening up to me..." "Notice of Pass, The Primary Paper Evaluation for Social Science Major, Parang University;" "Hani Oh" "Notice of Pass, The Primary Paper Evaluation for Animation Major, Parang University;" "Mina Dokgo" "You really didn't have to print it out!" "You know, we see one or two college miracles every year, so..." "Miracles happen, I know... but it shouldn't be happening from her class." "So, if you pass the interview, you get into Parang University?" "They've selected too many interviewees this time, less chance for you." "I know, it's 1 out of 5." "Well, what are they gonna ask me?" "I'm not so eloquent... I've got the practical exam too." "Look ya!" "Ma Hani will make da interview for sur'" "But if she does, she got thru da paper evaluation." "Man I'm so proud of ya, Hani!" "You got some kind of a connection or what?" "Connection?" "I think the heaven's got my back." "The 11th typhoon Rananim has hit the Korean Peninsula." "Hani!" "Dad!" "Why are in your raincoat." "The Subway is faster and safer." "Are you gonna be ok, Hani?" "Of course I am!" "It's just raining outside." "No it's not just rain, it's typhoon, Typhoon." "That's right, Hani let's just." "Let's just, just forget about the interview" "Why!" "You think I don't stand a chance too?" "I'm your daughter!" "No!" "I mean the weather's so crazy!" "This is the only school which's given me a chance." "I myself should go and show my appreciation at least." "Don't worry dad!" "I'll get going!" "Don't bother..." "I'll just see you off right there..." "Gees, nothing's so easy at all... I know..." "why the typhoon just now." "Parts of the track are flooded." "We cannot go any farther down." "All passengers please leave the train at this station." "The west coast has been elevated from typhoon watch to typhoon alert." "Middle Region including Seoul is being attacked by hard rain and strong wind." "Schools in this region are canceled." "Opening hours of public services have been delayed." "This will continue all day today and until tomorrow..." "We recommend people stay at home." "Again stay home." " Did you come here alright?" " I live close by." "How fortunate." "Come over here please." "Ma'am, too many students couldn't make it, so... I don't think it's too late to postpone the..." "How many typhoons would you experience in your life time?" "Excuse me?" "Would you postpone your thing every time you come across a typhoon?" " Next." " Next, come on in please." "What are you doing Eunjo?" "Oh yeah!" "No school!" "Thank you typhoon!" "Too bad, Hani went for the interview in such a horrible weather." "She should pass it, I wish..." "So, you've had some fun times..." "Tell us what interests you the most lately." "Of course it's Seung-Jo Baeg." "What I mean is... it's a person..." "So... you are interested in human kind?" "Yes, of course!" "Human kind!" "Nowadays, I think about... that." "How much longer would it take to really know a person?" "In life time, can we really know of just one person's true nature?" "'Seung-Jo would never know, Nope'" "Why do you think we should accept you?" "Excuse me?" "Your teacher's recommendation letter... seems like a declaration of independence written in blood." "But still..." "You've made the top 50 honors from the rank below the 10th percentile in a week but you plunged down back to yourself on the next exam, right?" "And you've donated blood once in every two months..." "And that's all." "How did she pass the paper evaluation?" "Well, she got very high score on her personal essay." "She's very sure of herself and pretty creative too, judging from her club activities." "We're not looking for a writer nor a cartoonist, get it?" "So, Miss Hani Oh, you tell us why we should accept you." "You've got one minute." "Ok, if you don't know, you don't have to say anything." "Thank you for coming, Next!" "Thank you..." "Excuse me..." "Yes, you're right about me." "Me, I'm not good at anything, I know." "I was very shocked myself when I got this interview chance." "So I'm very grateful for that, but I can say this... lf you pick someone who has better grades." "And better at anything... but you find out later on that the person is lazy, giving up because of rain and wind." "And you'll see great loss from letting him or her attend the school..." "Then, that's when you can pick me instead." "I'm slower than others but I never give up." "I keep on doing whatever it its." "That's why my grandma called me 'Noah's snail'" "Wouldn't you like to raise a snail?" " I'm not gonna make it..." " I knew...!" "You can still take the regular exam." "Yeah, you can take it with Seung-Jo." "I'm not taking the exam." "What?" "I'm not taking the exam." "I'm not interested in college." "So, tell us why!" "Because, I don't want to go any of those colleges and there's nothing I want there." "Then!" "What's your plan after graduation?" "Well, I'll just get a part time job." "Seung-Jo Baeg!" "You think life is ajoke?" "Who do you think you are, Huh?" "Ok, then let's do a business, you and me, how about an internet mall?" "Then, tell me how I should live!" "What?" "I don't want to go to college because I really don't know how to live." "And I don't want my life to be pushed around just like everyone else." "So, tell me, how am I supposed to live?" "After college, you can help your dad's business.. and..." "You know I think about myself." "I'll be the last one in the world to succeed to your stupid business, dad." "So don't even think about it." " Seung-Jo!" " I'll excuse myself." "I'll just have him...!" "Hey, he didn't mean it." "He's gonna take the exam, so don't worry." "Yeah, your right." "Everything's been just too easy for him, so he's not motivated by anything." "He has to find something to be interested in soon hopefully... I like to get that kind of feeling too." "For you Mina!" " Thank you." " Thank you." "You're all welcome, this is my brand new special recipe for you." "It's Never Fail porridge." " Never Fail?" " Never Fail porridge?" "It says it here!" "Never!" "Fail!" "It really says it so..." "What did you write it with?" "Can't ya see?" "It's ya black sesame seed!" "That's right, so if you have this, you'll never fail." "Really?" "Ok then, I'll eat them all!" "I'll take this..." "Hey, come on!" "Hey ya!" "Juri!" "Ya bet stop dat!" "Aya Thezall yas?" "What's he saying?" "Aya Thezall yas?" "You speak Alien?" "Juri you'd better stop that." "Are these all yours..." "Rah rah, Dat what I meant." "You can have it as much as you want!" "Hani?" "Why don't you dig in?" "I will." "Hani, What What ya nervous or som'thin' Don't ya worry!"

"And pass though it like an octopus does." "Thank you..." "Dad, can you bag a bowl of this please?" "Are you in bed?" "Seung-Jo..." "Tomorrow... you... will..." "take the exam, right...?" "Everyone's worried, especially your dad... he's like trying so hard not to upset you... and he's not laughing either." "So, you take the exam first tomorrow... and decide on which college you'll go to later." "Just in case if you want to go later on, then you'll need that score can you let me in please...?" "You are good at everything." "You've got so much talent and you should use it to..." "Someone who has more should share it with the less." "I like to share but I can't because I don't have much." "This, I'll put this at the door, have it before it gets cold... and..." "I'll see you tomorrow?" "'Good luck!" "You're the best Seung-Jo!" "'" "Sub The Exam Day" "What's wrong?" "Did you get cold?" " Maybe so..." " l, I've got a cold medicine!" "Where did I put it..." "Got it!" "This works really fast!" "It's good!" " Here's your water." " Thank you." "But, this doesn't make you drowsy, right?" "Huh?" "After taking..., avoid any activity requiring concentration such as driving... it may make you drowsy." "My gosh!" "Spew it out!" "Get it out!" "Hey!" "Knock it off, nothing decent ever comes out of your hands anyway." "I'll be fine..." "Human's will is stronger than the pill, I hope." "Wait!" "I packed lunch for you two, it's a good luck lunch box filled with nutrients for your brains." " Thank you." " Thanks dad." "I really appreciate it." "When did you make them." " Oh, really, thank you so much." " lt's nothing really." "You thought it well." "Good luck, ok?" "Thank you." "Let's go!" "Good job..." "See how much they are proud of you?" " Good boy..." " You dare..." "Right, the fork?" "I'm don't pick an answer by guessing." "Right!" "I was just in my own shoe, I'd poke for answers, you know." "Why do you keep following me?" " Huh?" " You're that way." "That's right, the opposite direction..." "Go." "That's right..." "Now, we're really on our own separate ways." "Of course, Seung-Jo has to be on the big road!" "Hope you do well on the exam Good Luck!" "Phew whee, He went anyway." "Right, what a son, he's rather like a majesty I have to serve." "He was being so stubborn of not taking the exam until last night." "What's happened to him?" "I have a bad feeling about this, bad..." "Excuse me, hello!" "15 more minutes, haven't you filled in any of those circles yet?" "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken the cold medicine this morning." "My heart keeps pounding so hard," "I'm worried about you more than myself, so I pray for you and for you alone You just do your best" "Sweet and Naughty Kiss" "She was so scary, she never smiles!" "Why should we accept you?" "Gees... she was like an old hag." " How was your practical?" " I don't know, I just took it." "I'd never keep my hopes up on the college S.A.T... I don't get it, we're all done here but why are we here?" "We don't even have a class." "But hey, what is it that you are you doing?" "Ta da!" "You put on a make-up?" "Don't I look like one of those sexy icons?" "I'm a single lady, I'm a single lady..." "Wow, you've got eyelashes too?" "Let me put it on your eyes." "Sit, sit!" "And wait" "Ok, Hani you don't have double-eyelids but you've got big eyes." "Close your eyes." "And, let's put this long eyelash on it like this." "And open your eyes, look!" "here..." "look!" "How is it?" " How do you think?" " Awesome!" "Hey, Mina look at her, her eyes look ten times bigger!" "If it's ten times big, that's a monster." "Do you want it on the other side?" "Ok!" "Close your eyes again, and..." "Hi." " You're putting make-up on!" " Not really..." "Huh!" "Thanks to you know who, somebody's life is ruined." "But you're just giggling over make-up!" "What?" "You gave a sleeping pill to Seung-Jo on the exam day, right?" "What?" "What are you talking about?" "Huh, Don' pretend you know nothing about it!" "I know you gave him a cold medicine." "He slept through the entire exam period." "He had to guess them all!" "What are you gonna do about it!" "You, stop it!" "You've turned the entire school upside down, and you're the only one who don't know about it playing this stupid make over thing!" "Can you still say you like Seung-Jo?" "Huh?" "Tell me!" "It can't be true..." "You did well right?" "You are a super genius, that..." "little pill can't bring you down, right?" "Please tell me..." "you did just fine..." "Yeonjeong Bae!" "It's OK!" "Suwan Kim!" "You still have the regular admission." "So, don't give up yet, ok?" "And starting from tomorrow, they'll give you the acceptance call for three days."

" I'll ya with ma, Grease comb!" " Stop!" "Everybody silence!" "Hani, Don't you worry." "Come on!" "is something wro..." "No, this score... proves that I'm a genius, for real this time." "Hey, Seung-Jo, you're scaring me so..." "Well, you still have to pass the interview but that's just a procedure for you." "So, let's put up a banner early, to celebrate your admission to THE Taesan University as the top student." "But you know what?" "Even Taesan university is no good for you." "You should've got into Harvard or something." "Anyway, I'm so proud of you, Seung-Jo." "Oh Yeah!" "Hooray!" "Hey You, how can you be so happy with such a terrible score?" "But I can't help it now!" "Seung-Jo Baeg is awesome!" "Hooray for him!" "Ring ring, please ring lt's ringing ring... please pretty please ring!" "Hello?" "Yes?" "No, you've got the wrong number." "Well, the number's right but it's not a roasted duck place." "Hello!" "Yes, yes!" "This is Hani Oh." "Oh my gosh!" "Parang University?" "Really?" "Wow!" "Thank you, thank you so much." "Excuse me?" "I applied for social science major though." "You sure it's not sour-a-p-ple science?" "Excuse me?" "Sour-a-p-ple science...?" "is there such..." "Got you!" "Eunjo!" "Hani's so dumb baehhh!" "Seung-Jo's going to Taesan as the top student." "What if I don't get accepted by any of the colleges..." " Hey, Mina..." " I got into Parang!" " Really?" "They called you?" " Just now..." " Wow..." "Congrats!" " What about you Hani?" " Not yet..." " You still got some time, so." "I know, thanks." "Just wait a little longer..." "talk to you later." "Ok." "Hey Mina, congratulation again, I'm really happy for you." "I mean it!" "Ok..." "What's wrong?" " I'm..." "I don't deserve to eat." " Have some, Ok?" "It's alright..." "No, it's all over..." "Today's the last day..." "and it's already 10." "I knew it all along..." "That old hag, no I mean, scary professor wouldn't have let me in anyway." "But I had hoped just a little." "You can apply to other colleges with your S.A.T score, right?" "Not with my score... sob..." "Hello." "Yes, this is she..." "Parang University?" "Hey, I'm not falling for it again, Eunjo!" "What!" "What are you calling me for." "Excuse me." "Yes." "Yes." "I'm sorry I thought it was a prank call..." "One of the applicants dropped the acceptance, so, you are supposed to be the next on the list..." "Yes, yes, yes, yes, I'll register, I'll do it, I'll do it!" "Of Course, I will." "I think I'm the luckiest girl in the world." "Chances were better because many students didn't show up on the interview." "Due to the typhoon." "If it weren't for the typhoon, I had no chance at all..." "That's right." "No, it's all because of may Never Fail porridge." "Yeap, that's exactly why!" "And, this is for you." "He picked it himself." "It's nothing really." "It's so pretty." "Thank you so much!" " Hey, thanks..." " Sure thing." " And, this is from me." " Gosh, more...?" "Are these for a musical?" "I've never seen a musical before!" "It's for this Saturday." "Meet me up in front of the theatre at 2:30." "You hold on to both tickets." " Don't forget ok?" " Of course not!" "I really appreciate it too." "Are you here?" "Well, Hani, You are there, right?" "I'm sorry but I'm stuck in the traffic." "What traff..." "Hmm, I think it's because it's Saturday." "Hani, you go ahead and get inside." "Ok, I will." "Why?" "Do you want me to pinch you?" " But..." "How did you... come?" " How do you think I've come?" "How?" "Hey Eunjo, don't you think your mom's good at acting?" "You heard what I said, right?" "'Oh, dear my son, I'm at the theatre but there's no one to watch it with'" "Then, he said he'd come, the most stuck up Seung-Jo said yes!" "If I can, I'll be a successful actress, see?" "Mom, do you really think he went because of you?" "Huh?" "Well..." "The interview for Taesan University..." "You will go, right?" "Now even you bother me with that?" "What's up with college, college..." "I just don't get it." "There must be a reason for you being super genius!" "Must be!" "It's kind of big thing to say you need to find your dream." "But you can just have fun." "You know Fun." "Fun?" "Yeah, My grandma told me always," ""Hani sweetie, live with lots of fun, you have fun and other people happy,"" "that's how I should live." "Fun, happy." "If you come to Parang University, I'll make you have fun though..." "Oh my gosh, little more, no, no, the other way, this way this way!" "Left!" "Left!" "A little more!" "More!" "To the front front!" "That's it good good!" "Wow got it!" "Got it!" "Whee hee got it!" "It's coming up!" "Up!" "It's coming up!" "Wow!" "You're awesome!" "Great!" "You don't want it?" "What am I gonna do with that stupid thing anyway?" "Hani!" "Hani!" "Hani!" "What ya to' doin'?" "What!" "Ya tw' ov'ya see mus'cal?" "Man I'm goin' craze." "Hey Hani, Did'ya that dude done noth'n'?" "Done what?" "L'ke dude tryin' grabbing' ya hand I'ke he reaching' for popc'rn..." "You can't have popcorn in a musical theatre." "Re'lly?" "Den what ya eat ther'" "Oh!" "Hani ya gott'a stuffed th'ng?" "Wo!" "Makin' sounds and all." "This..." "Seung-Jo got in for me... from that machine." "What?" "For college acceptance gift..." "What?" "gift?" "Di's cott'n b'll th'ng is ya gift!" "Ya Seung-Jo!" "Hani means just dat m'ch to ya!" "What's wrong with this." "He got this himself for me!" "You know how hard it is to get a prize from that machine." "Hani!" "It's not dat h'rd!" "Ya I'tl kid can get dat pr'ze so darn eaz." "Really?" "I've never seen anyone get it though." "Did you see that?" "That was so cool." "Huh, dude's on dude!" "Dude, wher' ya goin'?" "Look 'ere, look," "Man ya, I don't sha' it often, so ya see 't caref'l" "Ya, see!" "See!" "Ready!" "'ere ya we go!" "Huh?" "This is just like..." "What you see in a movie a lot, that's it..." "Look at me!" "Look into my eyes!" "Those eyes can only see thee but none other." "No!" "My heart does not allow to spare another mind!" "I can no longer restrain myself." "By force!" "If love not permits thee into my heart, I shall take thee by force!" "Halt!" "No!" "Please Don't!" "I cannot afford to lose you like this!" "A coward dies many times but a man dies once." "If I may die because of thee, that fate is not death but love!" "No!" "No!" "no no no no..." "What?" "You'll do just fine, son Good luck!" "If someone says something annoying, you just let it be... ok?" "Good luck..." " Good luck brother." " Thanks." "He's been so stubborn about not going, but finally..." "Poor things, they are too young to suffer so much." "You married me when you were their age." "What's up with college, college..." "I just don't get it." "Hani!" "Where are you going?" "I can't just sit here and wait!" "I don't feel good about it." "I'll just make sure if he gets into Taesan University!" "I have bad feeling about this, for real this time." "Did you see that!" "A man flew in the air!" "That looks like a girl." "Parang General Hospital" " She's waking up!" " Hani, Sweety!" "Hani, my one and only baby!" " Dad..." "Where am I?" " You're in a hospital." "You got hit by a car." "Don't you remember?" "I do..." "What about Seung-Jo?" "He must be in the interview, he put you in here and left right away." "I see, thank goodness!" "I see you're all here." "You!"

"Okay, take five." "Kent and Turner, you're in the final." "Dude, I'd definitely take you in a rematch." "My foot slipped on the dive, ruined my rhythm." "It's funny, I thought you were just slow." "He's a hottie, isn't he?" "Look at him." " Who, Clark?" " Oh, come on, Lana." " Krissy, Clark and I are just friends." " Right." " So, what do you think?" " Awesome." "I'll ask the principal if we can hang it in the cafeteria." "You've really thrown yourself into Spirit Week." "I'm impressed." "Well, these are the best times of our lives." "Isn't that what they say?" "To be honest, I'd forgotten how much fun this can be." " I'm looking forward to it." " Krissy." "Hey, baby." "Hey, Troy, you're dripping on my signs." " Don't you have another race?" " Finals." "I need a good-luck kiss." " Go." "I can finish up here." " Thanks." "Follow me." "Not a problem." "All right, this one's for bragging rights." "Fastest in the school." "Okay, guys, on the blocks." "Come on, Troy, hurry up." "Swimmers, take your marks." "Three, two, one!" "Troy?" " Hey, hey!" "Troy!" " What's wrong with him?" "He's going under!" "Somebody help him!" " Troy!" " Help him!" "Open your mouth." "Hey, that's perfect." "All we have to do is come up with a snappy name, we'll make a fortune." "Forget Mrs. Fields." "You could be "Mrs. Kents."" " I like the sound of that." " This is turning into a bigtime operation." "Thanks." "I've added two convenience stores and the retirement center to my client list." "That's great." "What?" "I don't see how we'll pay the feed bill this month." " I could get an extension on our credit." " We're already three months behind." " Henry's a friend, he'll understand." " He already said no." "My salary from Lionel isn't enough." "What are we gonna do?" "Maybe we should talk to my father." "Why is it whenever anyone mentions Granddad everyone becomes quiet and uncomfortable?" " Isn't it weird I've never met the guy?" " Clark, I'm..." "I'm sorry that you haven't had a relationship with your grandpa, I really am." "But there's too much bad blood." "I'm sorry, but I've got work to do." " Lana, where would you like these?" " You can just put them on the counter." " Getting ready for the Spirit Week bash?" " Trying to." "I think Nell's used the projection booth as her personal storage since the late '70s." "What are those?" "Clark, these photos are of my mom and some guy." "Maybe he's an old boyfriend." "They were taken when my parents were married." "Maybe he was just a friend." " I'm sure you're right." " Right about what?" "The mystery man with Lana's mother." "Hey, they make an attractive couple." "And there could be a million explanations." "Who do you think it is?" "I don't know, but I'll bet Nell does." "Then mystery solved." "I wish they were all this easy." "Well, it's late, we should get to school." " I'm heading that way, if you need a lift." " I've got the first two periods off." " Clark?" " No, I was just gonna run." "I don't think you could outrun my Porsche, Clark." "Excuse me." "What's going on?" "I need to get in there." " You should've been here earlier, Mr...?" " Kent." "Clark Kent." "Of course." "I noticed in your records you have a penchant for tardiness." " Who exactly are you?" " I'm Mr. Reynolds, your new principal." " Oh, nice to meet you." " Yes." "So you're aware, from now on this gate locks when the bell rings and doesn't open until school is out." "I'd..." "I'd appreciate it if you'd give Clark a pass." "He was late because of me." "Lex Luthor." "The Porsche, the attitude." "Somehow I'm not surprised you're involved." " You know each other." " Mr. Reynolds was headmaster at Excelsior Prep during my stay there." "You might find this hard to believe, Lex but people should take responsibility for their own actions." " It won't happen again." " I'm keeping my eye on you, Mr. Kent." "The next time it happens, automatic detention." "Catch you later, Clark." "Spare the rod, spoil the child." "You haven't changed." "What's next, school uniforms?" "I'd appreciate it if you'd stay away from my school and my students, Luthor." "Listen, I know we had our share of run-ins at Excelsior, but I was 14." "Don't you think it's petty to be holding a grudge?" "That's awfully noble, coming from a Luthor." "I'm a little confused." "Exactly what did I do to earn such enmity?" "Goodbye, Lex." "Kristine Parker?" " I'm Principal Reynolds." " Hi, nice to finally meet you." " Did you get my memo about the uniforms?" " I did." "Thank you, I'm looking into it." "I understand you're the visionary behind our Spirit Week activities." "Well, I just want everyone to have the best time ever." "I admire your enthusiasm." "I was going through the student files, trying to get to know everyone better and I noticed we don't have the transcripts from your last school." "That's weird." "But it figures, my guidance counselor was a total ditz." "We need a copy on file." "If you can have your parents forward it I'd appreciate it." " No problem, I'll tell them tonight." "I see Troy's death has joined the ranks of the unexplained and bizarre." "Big time." "The report said he died of an onset of a rapid aging disease, progeria." "Hi." "I thought that made you age over 10 years, not 10 seconds." "Exactly." "The coroner's running a test to tell whether Troy had progeria, or..." "Something unexplained and bizarre." "Good luck investigating." "You'll probably need a hall pass from our new principal." "A lot of schools have a closed-campus policy." " Why you so worked up?" " I had a run-in with him." "He busted me for being late." "Threatened to keep his eye on me." "Clark's on the principal's bad boy list." "First time for everything." " Guy's a real hard case." " Right." "First, it's a lock-down, next thing you know he'll be burning books." "Wait till he comes after The Torch." "I did some digging on our Principal Reynolds to find out his views on the fourth estate." "Harvard, B.A. Ph.D. At Columbia in education." "Taught at prep schools all over Europe and the East Coast." "Pretty impressive resume." "His name was mentioned as the new head of the Metropolis Board of Education." "Till one day he's dismissed from Excelsior Prep and he doesn't work again until here." "How does a guy on the fast track end up in Smallville?" "I don't know, but he's not Wall of Weird material." "Just because the guy doesn't love you like every other teacher in this school doesn't mean that he's hiding some dark past." "Hey." "Came by to see if you needed a hand." "Thought you were helping your mom this afternoon." " She said she's got it covered." " Something wrong?" "My mom's been secretive the last couple days." "A Kent secretive, that's shocking." " It has to do with my grandfather." " You've never mentioned him." "I've never actually met him." "I've only seen old pictures." " Do you know anything about him?" " He was a corporate lawyer in Metropolis." "He and my grandmother retired to Coast City." "When I was in sixth grade, I decided to call him." "I left messages but he never called back." "Guess he wasn't interested." "All these years I had this image of the Kents as the perfect family." "I guess we're just as dysfunctional as everyone else." "I never did pressure my parents for the story." "Maybe you didn't want to know." "Maybe it's easier to live with the image than the truth." "Looks like we're both dealing with secrets out of the past." "I'm not sure what I'm gonna do, but this is your chance to get some answers." "I'll catch up with you later?" "Lana, the place looks fantastic." " You've done a really good job here." " Thanks." " I wanted to talk to you about something." " Yeah, what is it?" "These pictures." "Do you know who he is?" "Must have been one of your mom's old boyfriends." "They were taken after Mom and Dad were already married." "Just a year before I was born." "Lana, what's this about?" "I'm not sure." "Listen to me." "Your mother..." "She loved you and your father more than anything else in this world." "She never would have done anything to hurt either of you." "You know that, don't you?" "Hi, Dad." "I appreciate you making the trip." "I was surprised to get your message." "Must have taken a lot for Jonathan to ask for my help." "Jonathan is at the co-op in Granville." "He doesn't know I called." "I should have known." "I imagined this place differently." "But it's not the life I wanted for you, Martha." "I'm happy, Dad." "It's a good life." "For some people, maybe." "But you had so much potential." "Top 10 in your class." "You could have gone to any law school you wanted." "I had hoped you'd take over my practice." "I never wanted to be a lawyer." "This is the life I chose." "This is the life Jonathan chose for you." " You just went along for the ride." " This isn't about Jonathan." "You raised an independent daughter." "You're angry because you got that." "Here you are, 20 years later, going behind your husband's back asking me for money." " Mom?" " Clark." "I thought you were at the Talon." "I finished early." "What's up?" "Clark, this is your grandfather." " Pleased to meet you, sir." " Hello, Clark." "I'II..." "I'll be at the motel." "I'll have a cashier's check drawn tomorrow morning." "Why don't you stay with us?" "We have plenty of room." "I don't think that would be a very good idea, Clark." "Well, how about dinner?" "One meal as a family." "I'm sorry." "I don't want your father having anything to do with our finances." "Jonathan, what was I supposed to do?" " Wait until the bank foreclosed?" " I wish you'd said something to me first." " What's the harm in hearing him out?" " You don't have to be the mediator." " I wish things could be different." " Why can't they be?" "You told me to look for the best in people." "Maybe he's trying to put this behind him." "I seriously doubt that, Clark." "What happened that was so bad?" "It can't be any worse than what's in the storm cellar." "Or can it?" "When your mother and I decided to get married, I went to him to ask for her hand." " What'd he say?" " I remember his exact words:" ""I will not let my daughter throw her life away by marrying a hick farmer that couldn't possibly support her."" " Well, that's harsh." " That's the way he dealt with people." "When he realized we were serious about getting married, he lost it." " He tried to shove me out of his office." " What happened?" "I hit him." "I'm not proud of that, I tried to apologize to him." "He wouldn't have anything to do with it." "Your grandfather and I haven't said a word to each other since." " That was 20 years ago." "He was willing to drive out here, maybe he wants to try again." "Believe me, Clark, he's not here to help." "He's here to gloat." "Hey, I got a message you wanted to see me." "Everything all right?" "I was wondering if you could do me a favor." "I take it Nell couldn't identify the mystery man?" "If she could, she wouldn't tell me anything." "I wanna know who it is." "Well, that shouldn't be hard to find." "But coming to terms with it could prove to be more complicated." "What do you mean?" "Come on, you know the story of Pandora." "She was given a box by Zeus and warned never to open it." " She couldn't resist the temptation." " I'm not afraid of the truth." "Neither was Pandora." "But once the box was open, it could never be closed." "All the misery could never be put back." "I appreciate the warning." "And anything you can tell me." "Go, Crows!" " Hey, Chloe." " Hey, Clark." "Clark, you might want to disappear for the next hour or so." " Why's that?" " I'm about to interview your new best friend, Principal Reynolds." "Thanks for the heads up." " What have you got there?" " Remember my buddy that works at the M.E.'s office?" " The guy with the black fingernail polish." "It's hard being Smallville's only goth." "He sent me the autopsy report of Troy." "It's amazing what lending someone your eyeliner can get you." "So Troy didn't have progeria." "No, but his pituitary gland, which produces a hormone that controls the aging process was completely drained." "Like someone just sucked the youth out of him." "Well, that's quite an assumption, Miss Sullivan." "Principal Reynolds." "I was just running through various scenarios, you know wild theories and stuff." "I'm shutting up now." "Well, don't." "I like my students thinking outside the box." "I've been reading back issues of The Torch." "I see a lot of creativity and insight there." " You're kidding." " Well, unverified insight." "But many a Pulitzer has sprung from the seeds of wild theories." "Just make sure you can back them up." "That'll be the difference between writing trash for The Inquisitor and reporting for The Daily Planet." " Are you still up for that interview?" " Well, give me half an hour." "Mr. Kent." "I was actually looking for you." "I'd like to see you in my office." " You look like you feel a little out of place." " I've never been in the principal's office." "You can start by sitting." "I'll cut right to the chase." "I think you're a slacker." "Quit the football team before you played the first game chronic tardiness, zero extracurriculars." "I get very good grades and I write for The Torch occasionally." "Retyping the cafeteria menu isn't exactly writing." "I see a lot of untapped potential in you, Mr. Kent." "Mr. Reynolds, I don't understand, we just met." "How could you judge me so quickly?" "How do you know Lex Luthor?" "Well, he's a friend of mine." "Why?" "A person is judged by the company they keep." "Lex Luthor doesn't have friends." "He sees people as a means towards an end." "I don't think that's true." "Time will tell." "Frankly, I'm more interested in your world." "What are your goals?" "Well, I'd like to help people." "Something like that." "Helping people is a noble aspiration." "It's also rather vague." "Where are you gonna be five years from now?" "To tell the truth, I'm not really sure." "Well, I'm gonna help you to focus." "I want you to write a five-page essay on where you're gonna be five years from now." "And I want it on my desk by the end of the school day on Friday." "Sir, why are you doing this to me?" "This isn't punishment, Mr. Kent." "Consider it a challenge." "Clark, hey." "Just in time to volunteer for the decorations committee." "Actually, I've gotta finish my essay for Mr. Reynolds." "That's a bummer." "What's it about?" "What the future theoretically holds for me." "Who cares about the future?" " I like to think there's life after high school." " Sure." "Yeah, as in a job, responsibilities, getting old." " Is everything all right?" " Of course." "Krissy, we've got the lighting the way you want it." "Great." "Let's see what you got." "Let me guess." "Reynolds wants to know where you see yourself five years from now?" "He made me do that assignment when I was at Excelsior." "He's nothing if not consistent." "He doesn't exactly have a high opinion of you." "I wasn't a model student, but imagine being a bald 14-year-old in an elite prep school." " Must have been tough." " I had a major chip on my shoulder." "But Reynolds saw through it." "He challenged me to own up to my actions, not to assume the mantle of the rich kid." "He was tough but fair." "I liked him for that." "I wish the feeling was mutual." "Whatever he has against you, he's taking it out on me." "I'm sorry being friends with me comes with such a high price." "So exactly how long were you planning to work on this essay?" "I'm just not ready to go home yet." " Something wrong?" " No, it's just family stuff." "Come on, Clark, I'm the king of family dysfunction." "My father and grandfather hate each other, and I feel caught in the middle." "And you'd like to play peacemaker." "Best thing to do is put them in a room and let them fight it out." "So you're saying I should play hardball." "That's up to you, but it'll take that sort of determination to bring your father and grandfather together." "What do you think?" "Perfect." " Thank you for doing this, Russell." " It's been a weird week." " Feels good to be doing something." " I know you and Troy were friends." "I really miss him." "Well, that's why I came to see you, Russell." "For Troy." "For the others." "The others?" "What are you talking about?" "The ones who will live inside me forever." "Hey, Dad, got a minute?" "You gotta talk to me while we're working." "We got a lot to do before it gets dark." "There's someone I want you to see." " Your mother put you up to this?" " No, this was all my idea." "Don't blame the boy." "The problems we have are between us." "Martha says you need help." "I'm here to give it." " So now you want to be part of this family?" " I don't want anything from you." "I brought a check because I won't watch my daughter suffer." " Couldn't resist turning that knife?" " Dad, give him a chance." " You two can work this out." " I don't think so, son." "It's just like 20 years ago, the same argument and attitude." "Not quite." "It has been 20 years." "But everything I predicted has come true." "I knew Martha was making a big mistake when she married you." "That's not true, Granddad." "You'll have to swallow your pride to save this farm." "I don't need a lecture on how to take care of my family." "You're just as stubborn and pig-headed as you were the day we met." "You get off my land." "Gladly." "Granddad, wait." " It wasn't supposed to be like this." " Just let him go, son." "I know you had good intentions but some things just can't change." "Let's unload the truck." " Clark, wait up." " Hey." "You look like the wind got knocked out of you." "I'm just dealing with some family issues." "You want to talk about it?" "The more I talk about it, the worse they get." "Did you guys hear about Russell?" "They found his body behind the Talon." " What happened?" " He aged, like, 100 years." "The police thought it was a homeless guy until they found his ID." "Two progeria deaths in two days, what are the odds?" "Lana wanted to cancel the Spirit Week party but Principal Reynolds asked her not to." "He said he wanted to keep things normal." "He obviously hasn't had his normal meter reset for Smallville." " What is it, Clark?" " I saw Russell with Krissy at the Talon." "Troy was with her before he went geriatric." " It's not exactly a smoking gun." " It's worth a look." "We could check out her old records." "See if there's anything strange." "I'll get started and I'll tell you what I find." "Interesting choice." "The Count of Monte Cristo." "Classic tale of a man whose past comes back to haunt him." "Why are you here, Lex?" "We're upgrading our computer system at the plant." "Thought we might donate our old computers to Smallville High." "You are not an alumnus." "Call it a thank-you." "You pushed me." "And in hindsight, I appreciate that." "In some ways, you're responsible for the man I am today." "I'm not sure that's a burden I care to take on." "Besides the tax deduction, what's the quid pro quo?" "Now, why do you think I want anything in return?" "Because I've learned there's always a price when dealing with the Luthors." "I want you to stop turning your antagonism towards me against Clark Kent." "Lionel has taught you well." " My father?" " Yes." "This meeting?" "It reminds me of the incident that almost got you expelled." " He had nothing to do with that." " No, only later." "After receiving notice of your expulsion hearing he generously offered the school's trustees a new library, with two conditions:" "That you were allowed to stay, and I was allowed to go." "History has an interesting way of repeating itself, doesn't it?" "Clark, I hope I'm not interrupting." "No, I could use the inspiration." "I thought you'd be swamped with party prep by now." "I was heading over to the Talon, but this arrived at my house." "I asked Lex to look into those photos of my mother." "You think there's more to it than meets the eye?" "I don't know, he sent me this." "I haven't opened it yet." "As badly as I want the truth, I'm afraid I won't like what I find." "Why the change of heart?" "The image of my parents the way I thought they were is all I have." "You don't want to lose that." "Maybe just by doubting, I already have." "How are things with your grandfather?" ""Disaster" is an understatement." "I took him to see my father." "It was like watching history repeat itself." "So, what's next?" "I hate to see it end like this." "But I can't control the way they act around each other." "Are you gonna try again?" "I can't do anything about the past." "Maybe I can do something about the future." " Clark." " I don't want our relationship to end before it ever had a chance to begin." "Well, you can come in if you want." "But you'll have to excuse me, I'm running a little late." "There's something I wanted to show you." "It's our photo album." "School plays, camping trips, backyard activities, stuff that families do together." "I wanted you to see our family the way I do." "We're more than old arguments and overdue bills." "I'd like you to give this to your mother." "It's a cashier's check." "Tell her she can use it now, a year from now whenever she needs it." " Why don't you give it to her yourself?" "I'm sorry, Clark." "I don't understand how a man who hasn't seen his family in 20 years can walk away." " Krissy, I need to talk to you." " Is there a problem, Mr. Reynolds?" "I left three messages for your parents, still no answer." "They've been really busy." " Is this still about my transcripts?" " And you." "I've been making an effort to get to know the students and parents." "Maybe I can come by your house this weekend when they're home." "They'll be at the Talon for the rally." " You could meet us there before the party." " That'll be fine, see you there." "Where have you been?" "I left you six messages." " Sorry, it's been a weird day." " Well, it's about to get weirder." "Take a look." "Florida, 12 years ago, Piper High School." "Three students died of the same mysterious?" "Ber-progeria." "All in a 48-hour period." "Let me guess, Krissy was involved." "Try "Missy."" "Class of '90, Missy Parker." " Different name, same face." " Yeah, it gets better." "Lakewood High, Class of '81..." "There she is again." "You won't believe this." "I matched Krissy to triple progeria cases going back to Hammond School for Girls, class of 1921." "It's like she feeds off youth to stay young." "Takes the Peter Pan complex to a whole new level." "Troy was killed almost two days ago, Russell was killed yesterday." " Krissy's gonna need another victim." " I'll call the police." "Clark?" "Krissy?" "Krissy?" "Mr. Reynolds." "So, what do you think?" "I think you've taken Spirit Week to a whole new level." " Are your parents here yet?" " Actually, Mr. Reynolds they died." "Over a century ago." "What are you talking about?" "See, I've seen the future, Mr. Reynolds, again and again and I've learned one thing:" "These are the best years of anyone's life." "Clark, thought you were the band." "If they don't show, we're stuck with a half-dozen MP3s and my boom box." "Have you seen Krissy?" "Yeah, she was just here." " What's going on?" " Just go lock the door, don't let anyone in." "Krissy, stop!" "I know what's going on." "You need help." "I need him." "I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone else." "I am saving them, Clark." "From lives that will never be as happy as they are right now." " There's more to life than cheerleading." " You're wrong." "You will never be this young, this beautiful or this perfect again." "But I will." " More bills, huh, Dad?" " Yeah." "Seems like these darned things keep right on coming." "Clark, you've had quite a week." "Any fallout from school?" " Spirit Week is officially kaput." " I'm sorry to hear that." "Principal's gonna be okay." "He warned me about being late when they loaded him into the ambulance." "I know the situation with your grandpa is bugging you." "It should, but..." "I went to go see him." "He asked me to give this to you." "He said he tried to get involved in my life after the adoption." "Why wouldn't you let him see me?" "Well, it's complicated." "It can't be that complicated, he's my grandfather." "Clark, when you were a little boy you couldn't control your abilities like now." "If he'd spent any time with us, I think he might have found out your secret." "He's family." "We had such a history of disagreeing on things we just didn't know how he'd react." "We couldn't be sure we could trust him." "So he's not a part of our lives because of me?" "Son, every young man wants to have a relationship with his grandpa." "But in your case, it just may not be possible." "Lana." " Working on something important?" " Just finished my essay." " So where you gonna be in five years?" " In college, probably studying journalism." "You're kidding." "Don't tell Chloe, but I think it's growing on me." "I like to find the truth behind things." "I'm tired of having secrets in my life." "And personally?" "I've decided I'm gonna find a way to have a relationship with my grandfather." "How about you, is everything okay?" "Clark, I read Lex's file." "According to court papers, my parents filed for divorce in 1985." "Irreconcilable differences." " But they worked it out, right?" " Eventually." "But they were legally separated for over a year." " So the guy in the picture...?" " Could be more than a friend." "I was born right after my parents got back together." "My father could still be alive."

"Dad, what's happening?" "I need you to listen to me like we're the last two people on the planet, okay, Nick?" "Someday a girl is going to give you a flower." "You got that?" "A flower." "And you have to help her, Nick." "You help her and you help us all." "Okay?" "I know it doesn't make any sense right now, but I believe the woman who told me that." "You think you could believe me?" "I love you." "I always said you were special, Nick." "Turns out I was right." "(BEEPS)" "Division's here, Nick." "Just keep moving." "And don't make any decisions that any watcher can track."

"CASSIE:" "No one has ever survived the drug meant to boost our powers." "My name is Cassie holmes." "Division took my mom from me." "Right now the future I see doesn't look so great."

"We'll start with the bead and see where it takes us." "Sounds like a plan, but what about the part where we die?" "I remember growing up together." "Where we went to school." "How he died." "So except for this brother you never had, is there anything else she might have put in your head?" "I'm only asking because I don't want to be shot in the face for screwing some made-up sister you don't really have." "I don't have a sister?" "Agent Mack, you are relieved of duty." "Get on a plane, eat some peanuts, and go home." "She won't push me again, sir." "She just caught me off guard." "The only thoughts in my head are my own." "You're willing to risk your life on that?"

"Too many things keep changing." "I already saw how you die." "Did you see it yet?" "You can change it, you know." "Plenty of planes leaving Hong Kong every day." "We are going to change it." "You put a shadow on the girl." "You know that's only temporary." "That girl is the one who brings all your little fantasy crashing down." "So tell Nick something for me, little girl." "Tell him my family going to make his brain pop like a tomato." "Tell him that's the future I see." "Oh, boy." "Hello?" "There you are." "Where is the chicky-chicky who gets us all killed?" "Are you drunk?" "Yeah." "I'm sorry. I didn't know the procedure for stopping a blitzed 1 0-year-old." "I'm 1 3!" "And I am powering my use!" "I..." "I can't believe this." "I am working." "You..." "You screw it all up!" "All right." "Give me this." "What is this?" "We talked about this, Cassie." "Nobody is going anywhere." "What is this?" "You don't get it, Nick." "She is the one that kills us all, basically." "nick:" "Then I guess we're all gonna get killed." "cassie:" "Yeah." "Screwed up." "By "we," do you mean not..." "You, too." "Pop Girl's a better watcher than I am." "Whoa!" "No one said anything about a watcher." "I can only work long-term against the sniffs." "Good." "No." "True story." "You got a watcher after you, it's just a matter of time." "All right." "Then we'll split up." "We'll give her two things to track instead of one." "Pinky, you take Kira somewhere safe..." "No. I'm not going with him." "No offense." "None taken, cupcake." "I know you're sweet on the champ." "I'll find you." "nick:" "Let's let her sleep for a bit." "(screaming shrilly)" "(speaking CANTONESE)" "She saw me coming." "(speaking CANTONESE)" "She still dies!" "She's gone, you know." "I'm just saying." "(GROANS)" "You okay?" "No." "Not until we find that case." "When was the last time you saw it?" "Not since yesterday." "Not for lack of trying, though." "If we don't find it soon, they're gonna kill my mom." "And it's gonna be my fault." "Look at me." "Hey!" "Look at me." "You really think I'm gonna let that happen?" "Now, you said the future's always changing, right?" "It can change just by knowing it?" "It can change. lt doesn't mean it will." "Good enough." "What are you doing?" "What are you gonna go do?" "I'm gonna try and make a better one." "Going after Carver doesn't change anything." "It doesn't save me, it doesn't save you, it doesn't save her." "It's just a matter of time, Cassie." "If I don't go to him, he'll come for us." "Emily, it's Nick." "Listen, Division sent a pusher named Carver to Hong Kong." "I need you to find him." "Just use that bead they gave you." "I'm sure his hands were all over it." "(speaking CANTONESE) I'm not hungry." "(GUNS COCKlNG)" "Henry Carver." "Now there's a face I haven't seen in a long time." "Sit down." "The food is actually pretty good here." "Give me one good reason not to kill you right now." "(sighs)" "Good." "Gonna try and get inside my head?" "Go ahead." "See if you can push me before I pull the trigger." "Wow." "Ten years is a long time to hold a grudge." "My father would disagree." "You piece of shit." "Your father I had respect for." "He took a stand with great integrity, which is more than anyone can say about you." "If this is your attempt at..." "CARVER:" "Think I don't know this future, huh?" "I've got 20 of the best watchers in the world tracking every moment of this time right now." "You die, Nick." "You all die." "You know who doesn't?" "Me." "You sure about that?" "Okay." "Kira is our patient zero." "And with her we're going to create an army the world's never seen before." "I'm sorry." "Am I supposed to care?" "Fine." "Fuck patriotism." "The girl will die unless she receives the necessary injections." "And you're not going to find it anywhere but with me." "Maybe you care about that." "Tell me something, Nick." "Her blood turn black yet?" "No?" "lnsides running out?" "Or is she keeping that away from you, too?" "I'll take that as a yes." "(SHUDDERlNG)" "(GUN COCKS)" "(GRUNTlNG)" "(gasping)" "You already know the ending to this story." "You can only draw it so many ways." "We're going to change it." "You don't believe that, do you?" "Please don't make me do anything to myself." "Hurting you would change the future." "And I like how this future goes." "So will killing him." "Victor!" "(THUDDlNG)" "I think I just saved your life." "No need to thank me." "You should just start listening to me." "You look like shit." "(GLOW playing)" "nick:" "Where is she?" "5A." "nick:" "is she safe?" "Yeah." "She's sick, though." "Pretty bad." "Out of all contexts and scenery lt shows laughter rings inside of me" "Aching paths don't cross so easily" "Break my back to see things differently" "Differently" "So glow" "I need to ask you a question." "What's in the case?" "kira:" "It's..." "It's a drug." "Some sort of psychic steroid that boosts our abilities, but kills us." "They want me back because I'm the only one who survived the injection." "Tell me why I just drew a picture of me holding her shoe." "(GROANS)" "is she okay?" "(knocking AT DOOR)" "What?" "No." "You've got to be kidding me." "nick:" "She's dying." "You are not bringing me into this." "nick:" "You're already in it." "And we need to know what this key unlocks." "Please." "Cassie, how much do the Chinese know?" "Whatever we do. lt could be more." "Their watcher is better than me." "We know there's a suitcase with a Division drug in it." "Kira hid it somewhere in Hong Kong." "Can you draw us a way out of this?" "We can't change anything with that bitch tracking us." "The second we do, she's gonna see it." "What do you mean?" "She sees intentions." "What we decide to do." "I decide to cross the street, so she sees me crossing the street." "What if nothing we did made sense?" "Or we just kept changing our mind, like we didn't know exactly what we were gonna do?" "Would that throw her off?" "It might, but we still have to find the case." "Whatever this key unlocks is being shadowed." "Like I've never seen before." "It's this way." "That really narrows it down." "If it's shadowed, I won't be able to draw it." "There's a building missing." "I thought shadows weren't supposed to be effective against watchers like Cassie." "We're not." "We're not supposed to be able to shade entire buildings, either." "You wanted to see me?" "I'm going to need your help." "Watchers from everywhere are tracking us." "Carver, the Chinese, anything we think we're gonna do, they know about it." "That's why we all keep dying in Cassie's book." "Pardon?" "You die outside an elevator." "(WATERS CLEARS THROAT)" "But how are we gonna make the future unpredictable?" "By not knowing what we're gonna do until right before we do it." "It's like a plan without planning." "nick:" "Yes." "Right." "Okay." "I'll write letters to each of you giving you specific instruction." "You don't open them until I tell you." "Then the last letter, I write to myself and wipe the memory of ever having written them." "That's why I need you to find the guy that wiped Kira." "Sure thing." "That sounds like a great plan." "(sighs) Do you have a better one?" "We're flying blind." "Yeah." "Cassie, I need one more drawing out of you." "I need to know the exact size and shape of that case." "And that syringe." "(speaking CANTONESE)" "CARVER:" "The girl will die unless she receives the necessary injections." "You're not going to find the stuff anywhere but with me." "CARVER:" "You die, Nick." "You all die." "You need the medicine that Carver has." "I'm not gonna watch you die." "I'll come back for you." "I promise." "When do I open it?" "When you start to doubt the truth." "You know when to open these." "You sure this is right?" "No." "Nick?" "Take an umbrella. lt's gonna rain." "You be careful, too." "You make us chase you halfway across the world, then you let a hack like Pinky Stein bring you in?" "I'm sick." "You're sick?" "You don't know what you are." "Victor, pay the man." "(sighs) Of course." "I knew I wouldn't get paid yet." "Wait here." "Were you followed?" "I'm never followed." "All right." "Where is this guy?" "Which one?" "The yellow one." "The big one?" "Yep." "Wo Chiang?" "You are here about the girl?" "You're the one that wiped Kira?" "Twelve years ago, a woman told me an American girl would come." "That was two days ago, the girl showed." "I have a job for you." "Two hours ago, I wrote seven letters." "I need you to erase the memory of ever having written them." "Seven letters, two hours of memory." "The woman tell me those things." "She did not pay for you, too." "And when you're done, I need you to open this and read it." "I need a minute." "As you wish." "I'm not gonna wake up and forget who I am, am I?" "(SNlCKERS)" "Wait, wait." "No, just..." "Go, go." "It's all gone." "The future has disappeared." "I lost the connection." "(GASPS)" "(speaking CANTONESE)" "Okay." "No problem." "(EXHALES)" "41 00."

"(speaking CANTONESE)" "(CELL PHONE ringing)" "Didn't see that one coming, did you?" "Do you really want to do this, little girl?" "I know where the drug is." "More importantly, I know how you die." "Do you want to know what the tiger means?" "(speaking CANTONESE)" "See if that will make him love you." "My note says I'm supposed to tell you the Division has Kira. 21 6 Batang Street." "It said a lot on there." "Was everyone's that complicated?" "I knew you could handle it." "This immunosuppressant will save your life and allow you to reach your full potential." "You're going to be a better you, Kira." "You need to accept this reality." "CARVER:" "We're not trying to hurt you, Kira." "Matter of fact, your well-being means everything to us." "Understand it's not your fault for forgetting who you are and running from us." "The drug has side effects." "We have no way of knowing the severity." "I want you to know that I blame myself for that, Agent Hollis." "This isn't real." "You volunteered, Kira. I was against it." "CARVER:" "You were certain you'd be the one to survive the drug." "I had to support you." "After all, we were partners." "(GASPS)" "Then you panicked." "Did you think you made it all the way here and eluded us for so long without any training?" "That's the Division in you, Kira." "Now let me help you remember." "CARVER:" "Now let me help you remember." "I keep trying to draw something different, but I can't." "It has something to do with how I die." "It's a tiger." "I'm serious." "I don't know how I know, but I just know." "I know I act like I don't care sometimes, but I don't want to die." "Cassie." "It's not gonna happen, okay?" "Just tell me that I'm a crappy artist and that I'm wrong." "You are a crappy artist and you are wrong." "Listen to me." "You've already done more than enough for everyone." "The only thing you got to worry about right now is keeping yourself safe." "But how?" "You just start walking." "Don't even think about where you're going." "You just keep moving." "Don't make any decisions any watcher can track." "And when you come across someplace safe, you hide." "Simple as that. I don't know how, but I know this is gonna work out." "I promise." "No need to be scared." "Trust me." "That's more like it." "What are you gonna do?" "(sighs)" "(SNlCKERS) I can't tell you." "(BOTTLES crashing)" "(GUN COCKS)" "You make me look like a fool in front of my family!" "(screaming)" "Don't worry." "You won't remember a thing." "Your mother's very proud." "NICK:" "I want to make a deal." "The drug for the girl." "CARVER:" "Okay." "Dock 4, Man Yuen Street." "(FOOTSTEPS approaching)" "Where is the case, Nick?" "Kira!" "Go ahead." "Remember that night under the roller coaster?" "We parked in the rain and got those little bottles of Jack." "That was the first time you told me you loved me." "CARVER:" "He remembers." "I want to hear it from him." "I remember." "It never happened." "We met for the first time yesterday." "You've never been to Coney Island." "(SNlCKERS)" "kira:" "Nobody's been to Coney Island." "I used you, Nick." "And the quicker we find that case, the quicker I'll let you forget it." "(CELL PHONE ringing)" "You might as well." "WATERS:" "My card says you have to take the drug." "Give me Carver." "It's for you." "Hello?" "You want the case, you let them live." "I'll tell you exactly where it is." "Another?" "Sure." "One for the road." "Don't feel too bad." "That push of Kira's has worked on better men." "(GRUNTS)" "41 00." "Kill him." "If that's all right with you?" "POP FATHER:" "The case!" "Agent Carver."

"I'm impressed." "The engineers are always conservative with their projections, but this is something else." "Hey!" "We are on the same side." "Remember?" "Now why don't you march the men who tried to kill us off this roof, and we'll call it a day." "Wait!" "Kira!" "Don't do this!" "This isn't you. lt's a push." "What Carver told you is a lie." "I'm sure they make a card for this." "(GRUNTlNG)" "Where were we?" "Where were we?" "You don't want to do that." "Watch me." "You'd be doing me a favor if you did."

"So where's the real case?" "There it is." "How long do you think your mother has been planning this?" "Since before I was born." "This is the key, Nick." "Division will do anything to keep this from getting into the wrong hands." "So we trade your mom for the drug?" "I'm still working on that one." "Hey, what was it that I injected myself with?" "Nine Dragon Soy Sauce." "That's gross." "cassie:" "What about Kira?" "nick:" "You're the watcher." "You tell me." "cassie:" "Don't worry." "We'll see Miss Trouble soon enough." "When do I open it?" "When you start to doubt the truth." "kira:" "Put your gun in your mouth." "Pull the trigger." "(GUN FIRES)"

"Watch out!" "Hold his legs." "Hold tight!" "Lift him!" "Let's go!" "Move it!" "Get in!" "Let me see who it is." "Good morning," "I am from the census bureau." "Are you the head of the family?" "I guess so." "We are carrying out a nationwide census, and I need to ask you a few questions." "It will only take 5 minutes." "Can I come in or should we do it here?" "Here is fine." "What's your name?" "Heli Alberto Silva." "I just need your first name." "Heli?" "With an H." "Are you employed?" "Yes." "What's your profession?" "I work at the Hiro plant." "At the car factory?" "Automobile industry." "Do you work full time?" "Yes, the night shift." "Are you looking for work?" "Another job?" "How many people live here?" "Four of us." "My dad, my sister, my wife, the baby." "Make that five!" "Do you have tap water?" "Yes." "Washing machine?" "No, my wife washes." "Refrigerator?" "Yes." "How many bedrooms?" "Two." "Level of education?" "High school." "Any disabled people in the household?" "Well, no." "That's all, thanks." "Bye." "Dad." "How did it go?" "Good." "Sabrina left you some dinner." "Do you want the radio?" "No, I'm going to take a nap." "Don't get caught." "During lunch break." "See you, then." "What are you doing?" "Explanation of social processes, communication, conflicts, decision-making, cooperation..." "That sort of thing." "I don't remember any of that." "At your age, I probably won't either." "It's 1 am." "Don't overdo it." "Well, I'm off to bed." "Good night." "Good night." "You frightened it." "Do you like the puppy?" "Yes, a lot." "Here, let me hold it." "Hold on." "You want to stop?" "I think so." "Don't you love me?" "I do." "I have to go to training." "Can I come and see you?" "It's not allowed." "Do they make you do very difficult things?" "It's easy!" "But some can't hack it." "Not me." "What do you have to do?" "If you want I can show you how strong I am." "I hope they let me keep it." "It looks much better now." "Have you started having sex again?" "Why not?" "I haven't wanted to, doctor." "Where did you find it?" "Abandoned next to the garambulla cactus." "What are you going to call it?" "Cookie." "So, you've even named it." "Will you buy it food?" "It can eat leftovers." "Where will you keep it?" "In the yard, then on the roof." "She's in her bedroom" "I'm in her bedroom" "She's in her bed" "I'm in her bed" "I can't hear you!" "Hit the floor, hit it!" "Harder, gentlemen!" "Louder!" "I'm in her bedroom" "She's in her bed" "I'm in her bed" "She started crying" "Don't be such pussies!" "Feeling sick, Beto?" "Did you puke?" "How many rounds have you done?" "This is my fourth." "Do another 6 and you'll be done." "OK?" "Off you go." "The other way." "Roll toward your puke." "Go on, Beto!" "Keep going!" "Keep rolling, right over your puke!" "Go back!" "Keep rolling!" "Stop right there!" "The exercise is over for you." "That's enough, crazy bastards!" "That's enough?" "Say the number." "I'm asking you the fucking number, little fag!" "That's it!" "Want some water?" "Answer me." "Some water?" "Let's give him some water!" "The customer always gets what he wants!" "Here's your water." "Do you want more water?" "See you later." "I'm going soon." "OK, sweetie." "Can I tell you something?" "What?" "How did you know that Heli was the one?" "The one for what?" "To be your boyfriend, and all that." "Are you in love?" "I don't know." "Maybe." "Really?" "Just don't be skipping school." "How old is he?" "17." "His name is Beto." "He's a bit old for you." "How did it go yesterday?" "Good." "What did they teach you?" "Special techniques, but I can't tell you." "Do you love me?" "Yes, and you?" "A lot." "Then why won't you go all the way with me?" "I don't know." "I'm scared." "Of getting in trouble?" "Yes, or getting pregnant." "I don't want to right now." "The puppy is enough for now?" "Yes." "What did you name it?" "Cookie." "Do you want to see something?" "Yes." "Wait here." "Oh shit!" "I didn't know that damn dog was there." "What did you want to show me?" "Something I was told about." "What is it?" "You wouldn't believe me." "Of course I would." "Just tell me!" "Tell me." "They found a UFO." "Was there anyone inside?" "A goblin who killed the alien." "I'm serious!" "Will you marry me?" "Yes, of course!" "We wouldn't live here, though." "Then I don't know." "Alright." "Let's get married." "Bye." "Estela!" "Introduce him to us!" "Sorry, he's my property." "Rent him then!" "Good afternoon, dear public." "Today, we are carrying out the destruction of 22 tons of marihuana," "7 tons of cocaine, 3881 counterfeit products, including CDs and DVDs, as well as 10 slot machines." "With these actions, the federal government reaffirms its commitment to an environment of juridical stability, in which the people are confident that they can rely on government institutions." "An environment which guarantees rights and the protection of property by the enforcement of the law." "Thank you very much." "I have a damn flat tire." "Too bad, you'll have to walk." "See you." "Damn!" "Excuse me, dog." "Come up!" "Tomorrow I will sell it but we need a place to hide it until then." "What then?" "Then, we'll go to Zacatecas and get married." "Alright." "Come here so I can kiss you." "Who's there?" "It's me." "Who jumped?" "No one." "Liar!" "He was a friend." "What were you doing here?" "Nothing." "Let go of me!" "Heli!" "Estela!" "What's going on?" "I'll be waiting for you here." "Seriously?" "Don't step out of the school." "Give me your mobile." "You're being really mean to me!" "I'm back." "We're out of water!" "I'll check!" "I'm going out." "Where to?" "To pick some prickly pears, I'll be back soon." "Alright." "I'm meeting Rosalinda later." "Will you take Santiago?" "Yes." "Do you want to confess to me or to the police?" "Let me go!" "Where are the packages?" "I threw them away!" "Let me go!" "You've ruined everything!" "I don't think so." "Open it!" "Son of a bitch!" "I hate you!" "Sabrina!" "I'm going to marry Beto!" "And I'll never come back!" "I really hate you!" "Aren't you going to work?" "I've locked up Estela." "Because of her boyfriend?" "Yes." "You need to go to work or they'll fire you." "Go, even if you're late." "My dad's here." "Let's take this door down!" "Hands up!" "Don't move!" "Freeze, fucking dog!" "Don't move, you idiot!" "I can explain everything!" "Where are the packages?" "I'm asking you!" "Where are the packages?" "I'm asking you!" "Don't move, you idiot!" "What are you looking at, fucker?" "Into the truck, you prick!" "Get in, I don't have all day!" "It wasn't me!" "He will take us where he threw them!" "Let's go!" "Beto..." "Keep your eyes ahead, asshole!" "Don't worry, little girl, it won't hurt." "Don't touch her!" "Keep still!" "Don't move, bastard!" "Keep still!" "He stole them." "Shut the fuck up or I'll shoot you, son of a bitch!" "Don't touch me, please don't touch me!" "You're screwed now." "Don't leave him here!" "Keep still!" "Dad!" "So don't you feel a bit lighter?" "Like... as if you were more present?" "I resent Heli a little bit." "Because he took me away from my family, my friends, my home..." "How's that?" "Well, he didn't force me." "We fell in love." "He refused to live in Durango and we moved here with his family." "That's far." "Yes, it is." "Don't they come to visit you?" "My mom doesn't like Heli." "Just because he took me so far away." "You'd like to have a profession." "Yes!" "That's what's troubling you." "I'd like to be a nurse, like my mom." "You'll have a long professional career." "That will bring you spiritual satisfaction." "As long as you follow the right path." "You're from Durango?" "Now you'll get to know God in the land of the damned." "This bastard isn't out yet." "Good evening." "Pay more attention, you fool!" "Which one is Alberto?" "This one." "Beto!" "Please, let us go." "Shut up!" "Please!" "Don't hit him!" "Which one do you want, blonde?" "Where are you taking her?" "In you go, bastard!" "It didn't work." "That's right." "Hold it." "You're really fucked now, son of a bitch!" "My sister!" "What have you done to her?" "Shut up!" "Just like Christmas presents." "Hey man, pass me a beer." "Get one for me too." "Damn it, man." "Maruchan." "Don't fuck with me." "Give me all three." "No way, man." "Damn cheapskate." "Fucking girl, fag." "Faggot!" "For messing around with others' property." "These guys are worthless." "That's for being a smart ass." "That's for being a smart ass." "You rat." "Why so gentle?" "Hold on, I'm just getting started." "This is an inquisition, buddy!" "He's passed out." "Does it hurt nice, comrade?" "Are you sorry now?" "Here, Guayo." "Take it!" "I don't feel like it." "Guayo, you damn fag." "Here, Morocho." "Maruchan!" "It's your turn now." "Open your eyes so you don't miss the show." "What did this one do?" "Who knows." "Take a look so you can tell everyone what happens to rats." "Record it, man." "We'll put it on YouTube." "What is that?" "It doesn't smell." "I don't know, they gave it to me." "The cock has crowed." "Pass it here." "Careful, it's loaded." "He stinks of burnt shrimp!" "Now it's your turn, princess." "Grab him!" "You're going to like this!" "Didn't you see what a great time he had?" "We don't burn this one." "Just a little taste." "Today's your lucky day." "Hold his legs!" "Leave him there." "Let's go!" "Yes, honey." "We've been here for a while..." "Hold on." "We need to find Estela." "How many were there?" "4." "Dressed in special police force uniforms, in a black SUV." "Was it a numbered vehicle?" "I don't know." "Is this the right way?" "Yes." "Any idea where they took your sister?" "No." "We'll see to your injuries soon, honey." "Let's first see if we can find your father." "A mountain lion or a puma may have taken him." "A puma?" "Yeah, right!" "There are pumas here!" "One was run over a while back." "Omar!" "It hurts a lot?" "Do not move." "Let's see..." "Up you go." "Don't hurt him." "How are you?" "So-so." "I brought pictures of Estela." "Very well." "Let's pick up where we left off." "Why did they take all of you?" "I don't know." "The men arrived." "They were soldiers or policemen." "They shot your father and took you all." "Yes." "Your dad worked at the Hiro plant." "Was he involved in any illegal activities, as far as you know?" "You're lying." "About what?" "My dad just worked at the Hiro plant." "But apparently, he shot first." "They broke in." "It was self-defense!" "Could you take us to the place where they were holding you?" "It's about an hour away from my house." "Aberto Rios is the young man who was found hanging from the bridge." "How long had you known him?" "I didn't know him." "I didn't even know his name." "Could you take us?" "To the bridge?" "No, to the place where they were holding you." "If you don't cooperate, we can't help you." "Better tell us the truth." "I couldn't see where we were going." "We need your signature here." "To back up what you are telling us." "Then we can take it to a judge and proceed with the case." "What is this?" "It's an official statement." "If I sign this, I'll be saying my dad was a criminal." "No, if you sign we'll be able to find your sister." "It was dark." "They kept my head down." "Like this." "Abandoned in the municipality of Piedra Parada, placed upon the hood of their own patrol car, three severed heads were found." "We only know that they were males." "The bodies found inside the vehicle were dressed in special forces uniforms, with 2 written signs next to them thought to be addressed to criminal groups operating in the region." "The municipal prosecutor read one of them." ""You'll all end up like these guys." "I'm after you, Goyo."" "Followed by the initials in quote marks, "UFF"." "According to authorities, this could be the result of score settling among organized crime groups." "The identity of the severed heads is unknown, although one of them could be of Captain Mora, who took part, a week earlier," "Who's this?" "in the burning of confiscated drugs." "Just one moment, please." "It's from work." "Are you in?" "Hello?" "Hello, Heli." "Don't be scared, we were waiting for you." "You didn't give us your number, otherwise we'd have called you." "How are you?" "We need to talk to you." "It can be here or wherever you choose." "I'd prefer somewhere else." "I'll just let her in." "Will you be back for dinner?" "Yes." "Let's see what they want." "Hi." "What did they say?" "They asked me to sign a statement." "But I blew them off." "What about Estela?" "No news." "What the hell would they know?" "I made you some huitlacoche tacos." "They're in the fridge." "I'm not hungry." "Can you turn it off?" "Of course." "I miss my dad." "Stop it or you'll get too excited." "Don't get mad." "This is Heli Silva." "Detective Maribel?" "Hello, Heli." "What did you want to tell us?" "About my sister..." "What?" "The kid they hanged was her boyfriend." "Was he?" "Yes." "And he had stashed some packages in our water tank." "Packages of what?" "Cocaine." "Why are you telling me this now?" "It's been weighing on me." "And if I don't say the truth, who knows what might happen to my sister." "If she's still alive." "You need all the information to find her, don't you?" "Yes, that's right." "We need to open a new case file and send a motion to the proper judge." "What for?" "Because it's a cold case by now." "We need to open a new one with this information." "If I had told you the stuff was in my house you'd have thought we were criminals." "How long have you been married?" "For a year in February." "You're just getting started." "I almost got married some time ago." "But a younger cadet stole him away from me." "Do you want some?" "Come here." "Don't be shy." "Don't you like it, or what?" "I don't know." "Are you gay?" "What's up with you, fucking idiot?" "I feel bad because of you." "Don't speak of feeling bad." "You must feel great here without my dad or Estela." "I want to go away and leave you alone for a while." "Let's go on the Ferris Wheel!" "The bastards fired me." "Seriously?" "What are we going to do?" "I'll get another job, what else?" "How nice of them." "Just when your father's job insurance expired." "Open wide." "Can you sit up, Estela?" "Take a deep breath." "Breathe out." "Once again." "Beware that in this case an interruption is not possible." "You'd have to travel to another state." "What do you mean, doctor?" "An abortion." "But I can check up on her once a week." "I'd only charge you 150 pesos per visit." "Why won't she speak?" "It must be the trauma the poor girl experienced." "We can send her to a mental health specialist." "Where were they holding you?" "Your friends want to talk to you." "Don't you want to talk to them anymore?" "It seems she's not even going to talk to us." "Don't worry." "Just rest." "We'll eat soon, OK?"

"Yes." "Yes, yes, I realize that your division has been trying very hard... but unfortunately, this isn't grammar school." "Efforts don't count." "You only get an A for results." "Yeah, well, you know, if..." "If I give you more time... that will continue to reflect negatively on LuthorCorp's balance sheets." "So I..." "I wish you and your people much success... with a less demanding company." "Yeah, well, thank you." "Hello, Lionel." "Alex, what are you doing?" "Sorry, Alex is a little busy right now." "What the hell are you doing?" "Who are you?" "You're used to being in control." "If you wanna regain it, you're gonna have to play a little game." "The 11:35 from Smallville to Metropolis is running on time." "Win the game, or you'll be catching a ride the hard way." " What game?" " Hangman." "Call out a letter." "Guess the phrase." "Lose the game, your life follows." "Hurry, Lionel." "You only get an A for results." " A." " Too obvious." "E." " O." " Lucky guess." " T." " Wrong again." " G." " Sorry." " S." " Nope." "Would you like a hint?" "It's a lesson I learned from you." "M." "C." "R, Y, N." "No mercy!" "The answer is no mercy." "Lionel's at my house constantly, acting like he belongs there." "From what you're telling me, it sounds like your mom... kind of invited the wolf to come on in." "We've tiptoed through these tulips before." "What if you're wrong?" "What if Lionel doesn't know?" "The things he says to me, the look in his eye." "Chloe, he knows." "Well, then he's probably using your mom to get closer to you." "He's always there, helping her, offering advice." "She's trusting him more and more." "And she wouldn't if she knew the truth." "I know I need to tell her." "I was going to after I found out." " So, what stopped you?" " She's been through so much." "Since my dad died, I just..." "I didn't wanna give her one more thing to worry about." "Well, by not telling her, you could be putting her at risk of a lot worse." "Chess?" "You haven't played chess in years." "Why the sudden interest in such a complex game?" "A friend of mine wants to learn the finer points." "I used to dismantle your two-dimensional assaults... with alarming regularity, remember?" "Maybe you should teach your friend something less complicated." "What about a game of hangman?" "That's always fun." "Thanks." "I'll stick with chess." "And you'll lose, as always." "I'm not playing to win." "I'm playing to instruct." "No mercy?" " What are you talking about?" " It was you, Lex." " I know it." " What?" "Disabling my limo in the path of an oncoming train." "That kind of melodrama went out of style with silent movies." "Wait, someone tried to kill you?" "Is this the part where you feign innocence?" "I brought you in to help run LuthorCorp again." "Profits have never been higher." "Why would I want you dead?" "Not so long ago, I tried to take LuthorCorp away from you." " The Apex takeover." " Right." "Please." "Seeing you fail miserably was retribution enough." "All right." "All right." "So it wasn't you." "I may not like you very much, Dad... but you're a valuable asset to LuthorCorp." "Killing you would hurt the bottom line." "Your concern is truly touching." "I am concerned." "A threat against you is a threat against LuthorCorp." "I have been fending off attacks on my life since before you were born." "I think I can handle one more." "Oh, Clark." "What do you think about this as a closing?" ""It isn't enough to simply give when we can."" "Upholding the principles of truth, justice and the American way..." ""isn't a matter of convenience." "It's a matter of conscience."" "Sounds like words to live by." "Let's hope the deep pockets at the fundraiser think so too." "I need to talk to you." "Can't it wait until tomorrow?" "I gotta get to Metropolis." "Lionel knows." "Knows what?" "Lionel knows about me." "About my secret." " I don't know how." " I think I might." "A while ago..." "I found a package on our doorstep." "Inside was a video of you surviving an explosion." " Who sent it?" " I'm not "sure..."" "but Lionel took care of it." "He said he wasn't interested in why I was being blackmailed." "He just wanted to help." "And I believed him." "Why didn't you tell me about this?" "You were still in so much pain about your father." "I guess I..." "I just wanted to protect you for a change." "Lionel's gonna be at this fundraiser tonight." " When I see him..." " No, you can't say anything." "We have to handle this the way Dad would." "Stick to our routine." "Give nothing away." "Not until we know what Lionel's up to." "I better get going." " I'll go with you." " No, no." "If you start guarding me all the time, he'll definitely know something's up." "Don't worry." "I can handle Lionel." "Bye." "Well, there are no concealed electronic devices here in the office anywhere, sir." "Office is clean." "I hope so, for your sake." "Or you'll find yourself working in a convenience store... watching hot dogs spin." "Thank you." "Watching hot dogs spin?" "That wasn't very nice." "But that's the way you treat the people who work for you... isn't it, Lionel?" "What do you do, read lips?" "I see everything." "911." "Hello, Lionel." "How does it feel to be helpless?" "I'll let you know if it ever happens." "Now, that's that winning spirit that made you a billionaire." "Let's see if it can keep you alive." "So... what do you want, huh?" "I want to play another game." "Hello again, Lionel." "Where am I?" "In a hell of your own making." "Who are you?" "Just another one of the many faceless people... your greed has destroyed." "That narrows it down some, doesn't it?" "You may not know me, Lionel... but I know you." "You're a man above it all... commanding your workers to carry the burden of your empire." "They toil while you profit." "It's called running a business." "That's how it works!" "Not anymore." "Now you're gonna have to get your own hands dirty." "Bright, isn't it?" "Yeah." "Oh, well now, what do we have here?" "Take a closer look." "Go on." "Not exactly spring water, is it?" "A good story always needs a hook." "Wouldn't you agree?" "All right." "So, what happens now?" "Now we're gonna play another game." "Would you like to see how it's played?" "Yeah, show me." "These are the scales of justice." "Fill the buckets with the liquid from the tap... and balance them on the pole." "Succeed, and the door to this room will open." "Alex... he didn't do too well." "Did I forget to mention the liquid is highly flammable?" "He was my driver, an innocent man." "No one connected to you is innocent." " Ready to play?" " No." "No, Lionel Luthor doesn't jump through hoops." "In 10 minutes, flames beneath your feet will consume this room." "Balance the scales... or burn for your sins." "Take your time." "The key to mastering chess is to anticipate your opponent's "moves..."" "and keep him on the defensive." "Lex, what are we doing?" "I thought we were enjoying an evening of chess." "I think I have Monopoly here." "You know what I'm talking about." "We've spent the last week avoiding what happened." "I was kind of waiting for you to bring that up." "You kissed me." "And then you kissed me back." "God, after all that talk about friendship and not wanting to ruin what we have... we really don't listen very well, do we?" "Are you asking me to forget what happened?" "Because short of a serious blow to the head..." "I think it's a memory that's gonna linger for quite a while." "You should get that." "I'm gonna go back to Metropolis." "I'll call you later." "What?" "Get a security team and meet me at LuthorCorp Plaza." "And keep this internal." "I don't want anyone to know my father's missing." "Getting a little warm?" "How does it feel?" "The flames licking at your heels." "Every step, blistering pain." "I bet a pair of those thousand-dollar Italian shoes you favor... would really make a difference right about now, wouldn't they?" "I understand how hard it must be for a man... who's not used to breaking a sweat." "I grew up in Suicide Slums." "Sweat's something I'm very familiar with, my friend." "I know all about your underprivileged youth." "But that all changed when your parents died in the fire you set." "Oh, did I hit a nerve?" "I didn't kill my parents." "Tell a lie long enough, you'll believe it to be truth." "You're running out of time." "You wanna tell me what you've learned... from this little game before the flesh is seared from your bones?" "Yeah, you talk too much." "Shut up." "Careful, careful." "Remember what happened to your limo driver." "The scales of justice are hard to balance with blood on your hands... aren't they?" "Congratulations on your acquittal." "Lionel?" " What?" "Another game?" " Yes." "But for this one, you're gonna need a partner." "Someone to help you through the dark times." "Martha." "Lionel!" "Lionel!" "Lionel, please!" "Don't..." "Don't..." "Don't..." "Don't panic." " Martha?" " Lionel!" "What's...?" "What's going on?" "Someone is playing a very sick game." " Who?" " I don't know." "How did you get here?" "I don't know!" "I was in the parking structure at the Plaza... and I..." "I heard this noise behind me." "I don't know." "Just please get me out!" "All right." "All right." "Martha, stand back." "All right!" "All right!" "She's got nothing to do with this." "Let her go!" "She has everything to do with this." "You use your wealth to buy influence, controlling the halls of power." "You're the man in the shadows, pulling all the strings." "And your puppets... they're as guilty as their master." "And they deserve a similar fate." "All right." "All right." "So, what's this game?" "How do I get her out, huh?" "You use words as weapons." "Twisting them to your purpose." "Obscuring truth with double meaning." "Now it's my turn." ""A toad like fever." I don't understand this!" "Shift your perceptions." " Shift your..." " Her life is in your hands." "No, wait!" "Wait!" "I need more!" "I..." "I understand the whole acting-normal thing... but ferreting out the truth is acting normal for me." " Chloe..." " You're not the only one Lionel's playing." "He fed me information about Fine being in Honduras... because he knew I'd come to you with it." "Why don't you let me use that as an in to find out what he's up to." "What if he finds out what you're up to?" "It's too risky." "Oh, and waiting for Darth Luthor to hatch his evil plan isn't?" "Hey, Lois." "No, she left hours ago." " I'll let you know if I hear anything." " What is it?" "My mom never showed up at the fundraiser in Metropolis." "Oh, my God." "Pull the security vids for the last 24 hours." "See if you can find anything else unusual." "Yes, sir." "It's okay." " What are you doing here?" " Looking for your father." " Where is he?" " I wish I knew." "He's missed meetings and never showed up... for a fundraiser at the Plaza." "Neither did my mother." "Lex, if you have any idea what's going on, you better tell me now." "Clark, earlier today, my father accused me... of orchestrating some bizarre attempt on his life." "Think someone's giving it a second shot?" "All I know is that he was taken from this office." "How do you know that?" "I found his cell phone on the floor." "Last call he tried to make was to 911." "Time stamp on it matches an unexplained gap in the building's security tapes." "What about the cameras in here?" "There aren't any." "My father liked to have a place where he could conduct certain transactions..." " without any electronic records." " Would that be the less-than-legal kind?" "Lex?" "Has this always been chipped liked that?" "My father wouldn't tolerate a flaw in his prized collection." "Nice catch." "This isn't your standard issue." "This was homemade by somebody who really knew what they were doing." "High res." "Wireless carrier." " Is it transmitting?" " No, it's powered down." "But if we juice it up, I might be able to trace where it's located." "Let's try it." ""A toad like fever!"" "Fever?" "It doesn't..." "It doesn't make any sense." "It has to mean something!" " Have you ever heard it before?" " No." "Wait!" "Why aren't they all the same?" "The first letters of the words." "The T and the F are capitals." "But not the A in the beginning and the L in "like"!" "T, F, right, right." "He said it was a..." "What?" "He said, "Shift..." "Shift..." "Shift your perception."" "It..." "It..." "It's an anagram." "It's an anagram!" "The w..." "The true meaning is scrambled." " It's a word puzzle!" " A word puzzle." "It's transmitting on a rotational code." "I'll see if I can hack the sequence and locate the termination point." "Hurry." "It's a shame, isn't it?" "It takes a crisis like this to get us in the same room together." "Look, Clark, maybe when this is all over, we can... try to find our way back to some common ground." "Excuse me." "I need to take this." "Is there anything I can do to make this go faster?" "Not unless computer skills are one of your abilities." "The signal's strong." "Minimal degradation, which means it must be local." "Got it. 8320 Vermont Avenue." "Five miles from here." "Great." "You find something?" "An address not far from here." "Great." "We'll take my Porsche." "It's a lot faster than your truck." "Let's go." "V" " I-L. "Evil."" ""To dare fake evil."" "It's gibberish." "It's..." "There's meaning in it!" "There has to be!" "No, there's..." "You want me to fail, don't you?" "You want me to watch her die?" " Is that what you want?" " Lionel!" "He wants me to fail." "Fail, fail, fail." "Fail, all right." "He said:" ""The truth is obscured with double meaning. " Double." "It's double meaning." "No mercy." "Greed, grab, take." "Take, take, take." "To take." "Over." "Takeover!" "Failed takeover!" "Failed takeover!" "The answer is "failed takeover"!" "Failed takeover!" "Apex." "Apex!" "Apex!" "It's Apex." "Martha?" "Martha." "Martha." "You're all right." "It's all right." "Genuine concern for another human being?" "I suspected your relationship with the senator was more than just political." "All right." "All right." "All right, we won your game." "Now let us out." "As you wish." "Come on, Martha." "Wait, wait!" "Wait!" " What's...?" "What's up here?" " "Freedom."" "Or death, depending on the outcome of your final game." "You expect us to walk right into another trap?" "You could stay right where you are and wait for the floor to be electrified." "Come on." " What happens now?" " I don't know." "No!" "No!" "I'm sorry that you got dragged into this." "Dragged into what?" "Who is that man?" " I don't know." " Apex?" "A failed takeover." " What does that mean?" " Apex Group was an Asian consortium..." "I used to try to take back control of LuthorCorp from Lex." "Lex found out... and made a very compelling argument for me to pull out." "Apex funded hundreds of companies." "The investors were ruined." "A lot of people lost everything." " Because of you." "Because of your greed." " No, this wasn't about me." " This was about Lex." " Lex?" "About hurting him?" " You hate him that much?" " I was trying to teach him, Martha." " Lessons." "Hard lessons." "I thought that if..." " Oh, God!" "If I removed the temptations that power and money gave him... maybe then he would be able to rediscover his own humanity." "Did you ever think of just talking to him?" "Father to son?" "That might work in the Kent family." "But Lex is not Clark and..." "I'm not the father Jonathan Kent was." "It's never too late to change." "Unless you're dead." "Lionel Luthor, you've destroyed so many lives without consideration... all to win your own games." "Let's see if you can do the same... when the life in the balance is someone you so obviously care about." "One bullet." "Kill Senator Kent, win your freedom." "Or if she kills you, winner goes free." "No." "We're not playing any more games." "There's an explosive charge attached to the elevator cable above your head." "If one of you isn't dead... you both lose." "Your decision." "Clark, how close are you?" "We're in the building." "I think we found it." "Hold on." " You wanna wait for the security team?" " No." "Me neither." " Chloe, there's no one here." " They must've rerouted the "signal..."" " in case we found the camera." " Clark." "Mom." "I'm sorry, Martha." "Please forgive me." "Only one of us is gonna walk out of here." " Lionel..." " No, don't talk." "You take it." "You're good, Martha." "So many people depend on you." "Especially Clark." "And we both know that he..." "What a special boy he is." "And now, because Jonathan's "gone..."" ""he's" gonna need you more than ever." "To become the man this... world so desperately needs." "Do it." "And go home to your son." "I can't." "I can't." "I'd hoped that..." "I'd "always..."" "hoped that things would end differently with us, Martha." "Don't blame yourself." " Your life is truly important." " No!" "Chloe?" "What happened?" "The feed was terminated at the source." "I'm trying to trace the location." "The signal's all over the place, trying to throw us off." "A selfless act from Lionel Luthor." "Life is full of surprises." "So is death." " Son of a..." " I got it!" " They're somewhere across town." " Where?" "It's gonna take a minute to narrow it down." "Okay, start heading west." "I'll guide you in." "Pull the security detail..." "Clark, we should..." "There's no escaping, Lionel." "The charges have been primed." "One more touch of a button... and the LuthorCorp empire mourns its founder." "You were never gonna let us go, were you?" "You're the master manipulator, Lionel." "You should know that some games are rigged." "Why didn't you just kill me?" "Because I wanted to watch you suffer like I did." "You." "You're the..." "The..." "Yeah, I stood right in front of you today." "You didn't even know who I was." "You didn't see the house I lost." "Wife." "Children." "An entire life gone because of your little game with Apex." "I'm no one." "Just another piece of Lionel Luthor's collateral damage." "This is between me... and you." "Let her go." "Does it hurt, Lionel?" "Knowing you're gonna watch her die?" "The one person you would have sacrificed your life for." "Let her go." "This is my fault." "All of it." "I'm sorry." "That's all I wanted to hear." "That was... miraculous." "Thank you... son." " Oh, sweetie, thank you." " Yeah." "You're sure you're okay?" "I got some bumps and bruises, but I..." "I'll live." "No thanks to Lionel." "What happened... was the work of a very disturbed man." "Lionel's no "saint..."" ""but" this wasn't his fault." "Maybe not directly." "He was willing to sacrifice himself." "For your future." "Lionel never does anything that doesn't benefit him in the end." "We can't trust him." "If we wanna protect your secret, we might not have a choice." "Lincoln Kole." "That was the name of the man who did all this." " You found him?" " In a bar around the block." "He was toasting your demise." "Didn't care if he was caught, as long as you were dead." "The authorities had to sedate him when he found out you weren't." "Powerful men, son." "We attract the occasional lunatic." "It wasn't insanity that drove him to that, Dad." "It was you." "We all make mistakes, son." "And yours almost cost Martha Kent her life." "Well, I'm just "thankful..."" ""the" elevator's safety brakes slowed us down enough to survive the fall." "Yeah." "You should be." "Especially since Kole disabled them." "That's enough to make a man believe in miracles." "Isn't it, son?" "I don't suppose Clark had anything to do with that divine intervention." "Clark?" "I heard what you said over the video." "About what a special boy he is." "What'd you mean by that?" "I meant that..." ""he's" the kind of son a father could be proud of." "One minute he's standing in the same room with me..." ""and" the next he's across town." "You're still obsessing over him after all these years?" "Clark Kent's a simple farm boy." "Let it go, Lex." "Let it go." "I've been expecting you, Kal-El." "How long have you known?" "From the moment I held in my hand the crystal... that helped to form your Fortress of Solitude." "The one that put you in a coma?" "Coma?" "I'd like to think of it as a..." "A state of... contemplative repose." "You've known my secret for almost a year." "Yes." "Why haven't you done anything?" "What?" "Expose you to the world, some strange visitor from another planet?" "I've tried to tell you, I am not your enemy." "To reveal your secret... would change your destiny." "And it would harm someone I care about very deeply." "You had a choice... to kill my mother or to kill yourself." "I could never harm your mother." "There was no choice." "Yeah?" "Unless you knew the gun wasn't loaded." "You have no reason to believe anything I say." "I realize that." "But I hope eventually, you will come to trust me." "I only want what's best for you and your mother... son." "You don't call me that." "Jonathan Kent was my father." " No, I'm not trying to take his place." " You couldn't." "My mother seems to think there may be some good in you." "But I'm not so sure." "It takes time, Clark." "Maybe you will be." "Or maybe you'll just show your true colors." "Secret or no secret... you stay away from my mother." "Or you'll wish I never saved your life."

"There's one word to describe what's happening and that word is "panic."" "And of course this comes with unthinkable irrational behavior." "The crash of '29, 1987's Black Monday, came with tragic suicides and murders." "This collapse is no exception." "Just one hour ago, as the markets were opening, two partners at Capt Villiers Holdings were shot at the troubled company's headquarters." "Senior partner Laura Mailer died on site and analyst Albert Bernad is in critical condition." "Jeffrey Desange, also senior partner, was in the office at the time of the shooting and has now gone missing." "Victoria..." "We..." "We gotta go, sweetheart." "That's it." "Isn't Mommy taking me to school?" "Mommy's not feeling well." "Put on your glasses." "Come on." "Let's go." "Daddy, where are we going?" "I don't know." "Fuck!" "You're driving too fast!" "Daddy, you're driving too..." "Shut up!" "Sorry, excuse me." "Whoa!" "Hey, buddy, you wanna get behind the tape?" "I'm family." "Lucas Desange." "You called me, someone called me, a detective or something." "You live here?" "No, no, my brother lives here." "What's going on?" "Where's Jeff?" "Are the girls okay?" "Where are the girls?" "Sir, just hang on, all right?" "Just wait here." "Oh, Jesus Christ!" "...Jeffrey Desange apparently shot two business partners to death before going onto murder his estranged wife and kidnap his two daughters aged three and one." "It's okay." "It's okay, come on." "Daddy, are we there yet?" "My glasses are broken." "What is it?" "This is okay." "Yeah." "Victoria, come here." "There's someone inside." "Now!" "Come on, come on." "Daddy!" "There's a woman outside." "She's not touching the floor." "Why are you crying?" "'Cause I'm sad, honey." "Why are you sad?" "You know, moms and dads, they try real hard, but sometimes they mess things up." "You know Daddy loves you, right?" "Uh-huh." "I can't see." "What's that?" "Look, honey, a deer." "Daddy?" "Daddy?" "Daddy?" "Daddy?" "Look, Lilly, a cherry." "Burnsie!" "So where are you guys today?" "Well, we're gonna have another look around Sector 1-7-12-33." "That's the mountain road, right?" "Uh-huh." "Gas station..." "Go up through the Wilson Pass..." "It sounds good." "Oh, God, I hate to do this." "Do what?" "Your last payment didn't clear." "Well..." "I'll check on that." "Don't worry about it." "The bank's screwing up." "All right, I'll look into it and get back to you." "Thanks." "Bye." "Thank you, God." "Sweet!" "That Burnsie on the phone?" "Yup." "What's his next move?" "Is he going to search sector plural-Z-alpha?" "Hey, guess who's not pregnant?" "What is wrong with you?" "The last payment didn't clear." "So there's a problem with the bank or..." "The money's gone." "I pick "B"." "That is the correct answer." "Hey, look, babe." "It's your brother." "You wanna spend all your money trying to find him, it's okay with me." "It's cheaper than therapy." "And so am I." "Whoa!" "I need to go." "Mmm-hmm." "Burnsie!" "What?" "Hey, Burnsie!" "Jesus Christ!" "We gonna call him?" "Just give me a minute." "Well, we should call!" "We said we'd call." "Ronnie, shut up just for one minute." "Here you go, Bird, take a whiff of that." "Hello!" "Uh-huh." "Yes, sir." "Yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, sir." "It's cherry pits." "Hey, Burnsie!" "Burnsie, can we call him now?" "They found them." "You're shitting me." "They found the girls, alive." "Dr. Gerald Dreyfuss, and you must be Annabel." "I must be." "Lucas." "How are they?" "Well, just let me warn you, this won't be easy." "We're very fortunate that Victoria was old enough to retain much of her vocabulary." "But it's still too early to determine if her social development..." "What about the other one?" "That's a different story." "Jesus." "Oh, yeah." "Hey, Victoria." "Is that you, Lilly?" "Hey!" "No, no, no." "It's okay, it's okay." "I'm not gonna hurt you." "Hey..." "It's okay, it's okay." "I got something for you, for your eyes." "When you were a little girl, you had a pair of these." "Do you remember?" "I'm just gonna put..." "That's okay." "I'm just gonna put them here." "It's okay." "Yeah." "That's it." "Daddy?" "No, no, honey." "Honey, no." "I'm..." "I'm not your daddy, I'm..." "I'm your daddy's brother." "Remember?" "Uncle Luke?" "Dad?" "Oh..." "It's okay." "Dad?" "It's okay." "Dr. Gerald Dreyfuss, Your Honor." "The girls have been in my care at the Institute since they were found 87 days ago." "And how would you define their progress?" "Solid, and astoundingly fast." "If I may?" "Your Honor, Victoria and Lilly Desange were found in deplorable conditions, isolated, starved." "They feared and distrusted all physical contact." "Their emotional growth was clearly compromised by their abandonment." "In order to survive such extreme isolation, the girls created an imaginary guardian, a parent figure to feed them, sing to them, protect them." "They called her "Mama."" "Victoria and Lilly have a real chance at a normal life now." "With the right care, physical and emotional development, and much-needed love and affection, they will get better." "Thank you, Dr. Dreyfuss." "Miss Podolski, would you care to address the court?" "Good morning, Your Honor." "Jeffrey Desange murdered my niece and abandoned his daughters in the forest." "Now, his brother did an extraordinary thing." "Lucas never gave up on his nieces, but he did it for the girls, not for himself." "So if he still has their best interest at heart, he must know that neither his salary nor his very small apartment are suitable for the raising of two children, let alone two children with very special needs." "How many kids have you raised, Jean?" "About as many as you, Lucas." "Of course she wants the girls, Lucas." "Stand in her shoes for a second." "She can't just sweep in and take them." "They're not hers to take." "I'm not sure that's entirely fair." "I'll tell you what's not fair." "It's not fair that she gets to buy my nieces." "Would it really be such a bad thing?" "What?" "Annabel plays in a band." "You draw pictures for a living." "The way you live, do you have room for children in your life?" "I mean, really?" "What are you saying, Gerald?" "When it comes to the girls' welfare, the family court judge is pretty much obliged to act on my recommendation." "And right now, I'd be lying if I didn't say it was a slam dunk for Miss Podolski." "But the truth is," "I don't want them living on the other side of the country any more than you do." "So, we can really, really help each other out right now." "You want the girls, I need continued access to them." "What do we gotta do?" "This house, courtesy of the Institute, is used for case studies." "Rent free." "You move to the house, you get the girls." "This is a joke, right?" "Mr. Desange, is your brother still alive?" "Has your brother contacted you?" "Oh, son of a bitch." "Look, Jean..." "No." "I just want to see them, that's all." "You'll see them, I mean, you've got visitation rights, we respect that, but right now, we need a little space." "Just work on this thing for a while." "Find our feet." "Okay?" "Excuse me." "October 26th." "Although she seems collaborative and is quickly recovering her language skills," "Victoria may be repressing the memory of her experience in the wilderness." "Okay, Victoria, are you nice and relaxed?" "Are you feeling sleepy?" "I want you to tell me the story again." "Can you tell me the story?" "It was a long time ago." "A lady ran away from a hospital for sad people." "She took her baby." "They jumped into the water." "How could you know that story, Victoria?" "Did Mama tell you that story?" "She showed me." "How?" "In a dream." "Go on, Victoria." "And you can't tell anyone where you are?" "Nope." "That's just bizarre, dude." "Yeah, well, it's for the girls, to keep the press away." "It's so messed up, though." "All families are messed up." "Yeah, but this one's messed up and instant." "Heck, I didn't even have the chance to screw 'em up, they came that way." "Leave him." "Can't." "You didn't sign up for this, babe." "I can't do that to him." "Mrs. Sensitivity." "You are in a rock band." "I was in a rock band, yeah." "Hey, girls." "Hey, come here." "Mama." "No, don't call me that, I'm not your mom." "I'm Annabel, you can call me that." "Or Annie or whatever you like." "We could..." "We could work it out together, right?" "Mama." "Handsome?" "There are no police reports between 2008 and 2012 that match your patient's story." "And Doctor, there are no psychiatric hospitals anywhere near Clifton Forge." "Where would the closest one be?" "Falls Church, 200 miles from here." "Now this logbook contains records from" "St. Gertrude's Asylum, up by Douthat Lake." "That's 5 miles north from here." "But you told me that there were no mental hospitals in the area." "There aren't." "St. Gertrude's shut down in 1878." "Page 31, patient Edith Brennan." "Annabel?" "Yep?" "Handsome's outside." "It's all right, I put him there." "But, he's crying." "Awesome." "There's no way these kids are ready for this." "Babe, I know it's tough." "It'll get better, I promise." "I don't know if I can do this, Luke." "Hey, I love you, girl." "Oh, my God!" "Someone's here!" "What?" "Victoria?" "Lilly?" "No one's here." "Someone's here." "I saw them." "What, whoa, whoa, whoa, honey, honey!" "I saw them!" "Give me the hammer." "Give me the hammer!" "I'll check downstairs, you look after the girls." "Lucas?" "Lucas?" "Oh, my God!" "Lucas!" "Hi, it's Vince with Slap Chop." "You can be the..." "Chop, chop, chop." "Chop, chop." "I'm really sorry, Annabel." "But they told me he responded well to the tests and it's very likely this coma's temporary." "What happens now?" "I'm afraid I don't follow." "The girls." "Now that Lucas is not..." "The girls." "Annabel, the girls need you." "They need security, predictability." "But I'm not prepared for this, I can't do this alone." "This isn't my job to do." "Just grow up." "If you don't, you'll lose custody and Lucas will be lucky if he sees his nieces every second Thanksgiving." "Well, all checked out." "All the doors and windows were locked, no evidence of an intruder, nothing stolen, so..." "So I imagined it then, yeah?" "All right, thank you, bud." "Ma'am." "Richmond's finest." "Okay, guys, just you and me for a while." "I don't know how you're feeling about that, but we don't got a choice." "How have they been affected by all of this?" "They are talking to the walls." "What do they say?" "Mama." "What is this?" "They made that." "They found a doll in the cabin, Victoria." "Who made the doll?" "Mama." "The doll's called "Mama," or Mama made the doll?" "Mama made the doll." "And who is Mama?" "Are you "Mama", Victoria?" " This is Dr. Gerald Dreyfuss." " Please leave a message." "Dr. Dreyfuss, this is Louise from Clifton Forge Public Records." "Hound something that you will want to see." "You guys okay?" "What's so funny?" "Good night." "No!" "Whatever." "Nice butt, Bruce." "Victoria!" "Come." "Mama." "You guys know what time it is?" "I guess you wouldn't." "It's late, it's really, really late." "Don't." "Don't what?" "Don't go in the closet." "Why not?" "What's in the closet?" "Nothing." "Okay." "It's been a long day so you guys should get some sleep." "Go to bed." "You want me to leave the door open?" "Night." "Just tell me about it." "I think someone's coming to visit them." "Who?" "I don't know." "And you believe that?" "I heard her." "She was singing to them, it was like a lullaby or something." "You heard her?" "Definitely a her?" "Yeah." "Sound like this?" "Yeah, but it was..." "It was different." "Her voice was deeper." "Victoria is showing signs of a dissociative personality disorder." "I think she could be taking on the role of Mama." "Literally becoming her." "It's treatable, with time and patience." "Am I safe?" "What, from a crazy eight year old?" "Give me a break." "I found a second entry under the name of that woman." "Edith Brennan?" "Mad Edith Brennan." "Welcome to Aisle 17, Doctor." "Every archive has one, the lost-and-found of things people don't want to find." "Twenty years ago, when they moved the Clifton Forge cemetery, some of the oldest, smallest remains were not claimed by their relatives." "They were sent here to be filed." "I'm not a religious person, but I do believe there's a place for human remains, and it's not on a shelf in a government building." "Do you believe in ghosts?" "I can't say that I do." "When a corpse is left out, the elements wither it, desiccate it, twisting it into a distorted figure that is barely recognizable as a human being." "A ghost is an emotion bent out of shape, condemned to repeat itself, time and time again, until it rights the wrong that was done." "What's this?" "The wrong." "Jeff?" "Save my girls." "Go to the cabin." "Code Blue!" "He's seizing." "Hold him still." "Lorazepam, 4 milligrams." "Four milligrams of Lorazepam." "Is the line going?" "It is." "Fever?" "No fever, Doctor." "Mr. Desange, can you hear me?" "It's okay, Mr. Desange." "You kick me off the bed, I check on the girls." "That's about as much as I remember." "For all I know, it was you who pushed me." "Uh-uh." "I would have finished the job." "Oh, you drew me a picture!" "It's a raccoon." "Thank you." "I drew something for you guys, too." "There you go." "You like it?" "Yes." "That's cute." "So, how was it?" "Was it a tunnel with a light at the end?" "Oh, yeah, yeah." "It was beautiful." "I was so not staying away from the light." "Ha, ha, ha." "So how's it been, life as a single mom?" "It's great!" "Yeah?" "It's terrible." "They hate me." "They don't hate you." "They hate me." "They don't hate you." "So easy for you to say." "You're like the cool uncle." "I am the cool uncle." "What?" "What is it, Annie?" "Just get well soon so you can come home and clean up their mess, please." "You sure that's it?" "Yeah." "You okay?" "What are you doing in here?" "Here." "I'll help." "What is it?" "I don't want you to get hurt." "What do you mean?" "I'm fine." "Nothing bad's gonna happen to me." "You can't do that!" "Why?" "'Cause she gets jealous." "Hey, wait!" "What's wrong with you?" "Oh!" "Hey, Jean." "Um..." "How can I help?" "It's my day." "Are you sure?" "I thought that was Thursday." "It is Thursday." "Sorry about the mess." "Children make mess." "That's how it works." "How are they?" "Outdoorsy." "You want coffee?" "Thank you." "Oh, my God." "What is this?" "Yeah, I know, they're wild sometimes." "It's not an excuse." "Hey, now." "They're bruises." "Kids get bruised." "This bruised?" "It's not like that." "Let me have them." "Sorry?" "Just for a few days." "You can, I don't know, play with your band, have a drink with your friends..." "Jean, I think it's great that the girls have a relationship with their aunt," "I really, really do, but right now, you need to get out of my house before I kick your ass." "I'll see you both real soon, okay?" "Hey!" "Have you been coming around here?" "I beg your pardon?" "You been coming to the house, playing with the girls?" "Of course not." "Why?" "Doesn't matter." "Richmond." "Social Services." "Uh..." "Who should I speak to if I believe my nieces are being abused?" "Well, what kind of evidence do I need exactly?" "How the hell did you forget?" "Are you kidding me?" "You know she wants to take the girls from us!" "I'm exhausted, I'm sorry, I forgot today was her day." "Jesus Christ, Annie, it's one visit, it's not much to remember." "Annie, listen, they're just kids, all you got to do is..." "What?" "Chill out?" "Take it easy?" "You know, I can't do this, this is not my job." "This is your job." "I am out of here in a day, just hold it together until then." "All right, fine, yeah, we'll see what happens then." "I'll take care them, those girls are the most important thing in the world to me." "Awesome." "Annie, you..." "Okay, Victoria, are you nice and relaxed?" "Are you feeling sleepy?" "I'd like you to tell me about Mama." "Did she live in that house with you?" "The house by that lake?" "Where did she live?" "In the walls." "Where is she now?" "I don't know." "I think you know." "I think you know where she is." "Where is she, Victoria?" "Is she here in this house?" "Did she come with you?" "Open your eyes, Victoria." "Look at this photograph." "Is this Mama?" "Is this Mama, Victoria?" "Go away!" "Tell me about her!" "No!" "Yes!" "What's going on?" "Nothing, nothing's going on." "Gerald, what happened?" "I have to go." "I'll call you." "November 3rd." "The seventh session was more than revealing." "I think I have found a door, a passage, that connects Helvetia and the Desange's house." "There is no rational explanation that supports this theory, but it is only the ability to embrace a different reality that makes science expand beyond the limits of what we know." "However, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof." "I now feel closer than ever to the real subject of my research." "I will come back from Clifton Forge with an answer." "What's wrong?" "What's under the bed?" "Victoria?" "Victoria!" "Come!" "Mama!" "Victoria!" "Come!" "Mama!" "Victoria stay." "Mama?" "Where Mama?" "I know your name." "I know what you want." "Lilly!" "Lilly, Lilly, are you okay?" "How did you get down here?" "You're shitting me." "Are you shitting me?" "Come here, crazy!" "Okay." "Stop!" "Stop it!" "Stop!" "It's okay." "Come on." "Come on, come on, come on, now..." "Okay." "Come here." "What?" "You like that?" "Okay!" "Okay, door is good, window is bad." "So if we want to go outside, what do we do?" "Use the stairs?" "Right." "Lilly?" "Use the stairs?" "Yeah." "That's excellent." "Okay, let's go get breakfast." "Oh!" "God!" "Lilly, you scared the crap out of me." "Annabel!" "Breakfast is ready!" "I'll be right down!" "Annabel!" "Lilly's hungry!" "Annabel?" "Yeah." "Victoria?" "You and Dr. Dreyfuss, you guys talk some..." "I mean, you guys talked a lot, right?" "Victoria, Dr. Dreyfuss and I, we talked some, too." "We talked about Mama." "You and Dr. Dreyfuss, you..." "You guys talked about Mama, too, right?" "Who is Mama, Victoria?" " This is Dr. Gerald Dreyfuss." " Please leave a message." "Hey, it's Annabel, I need to talk to you, so please call me whenever you get this, okay?" "Thanks, bye." "Yes, I talked to Lieutenant Spencer two hours ago." "I'm sure you are." "I just don't understand." "I am afraid that something bad may have happened to the doctor." "You okay?" "Stay there." "Come on, get your coats." "Richmond." "I need the number for Enterprise Rent-A-Car." "Yeah." "I want you to tell me the story again." "Can you tell me the story?" "It was a longtime ago." "A lady ran away from a hospital for sad people." "She took her baby, They jumped into the water." "How could you know that story, Victoria?" "Did Mama tell you that story?" "She showed me." "How?" "In a dream." "Go on." "She fell into the water, but the baby didn't." "Why?" "I don't know." "What could have happened to the baby, Victoria?" "I don't know." "Mama didn't show you?" "She doesn't know what happened to her baby." "She went walking in the woods, looking for it." "She searched for a very long time." "And then?" "Then she found us." "Why are you crying, Victoria?" "'Cause she's sad." "Is she sad, or are you sad, Victoria?" "Where is Mama?" "Is she here, with us?" "Can you show me Mama?" "She won't come here." "Why not?" "Because she knows you're watching." "This is Annabel." "Leave your message at the beep." "Fuck you!" "Beep!" "Annabel?" "Oh." "Hey, Victoria." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Good night, Annabel." "I love you." "No." "Lilly!" "Lilly!" "Don't look at her!" "She's mad." "Run!" "Lilly!" "Lilly!" "Lilly, open the door!" "Victoria!" "What's going on?" "Are you okay?" "Annabel!" "It's Lilly!" "Lilly?" "Are you okay?" "Huh?" "Mama!" "Stop it!" "You promised!" "Leave her alone!" "Annabel!" "Annabel!" "Aunt Jean?" "Are you okay?" "Lilly?" "Victoria?" "Hey, this is Lucas, leave a message." "Lucas, she has the girls." "I am heading to Clifton Forge." "Luke?" "Luke!" "Baby!" "I got your message." "What the hell are you doing here?" "Where are the girls?" "She took them." "What?" "I saw her, she's real." "What the hell is happening?" "She's going to kill them." "We gotta get to the cabin." "She was here with them the whole time." "Dr. Dreyfuss knew it." "Oh, God!" "Jean?" "They're on the cliff!" "Victoria!" "Lilly!" "No." "No, no." "Mama!" "No." "Lilly!" "Lilly!" "No!" "Mama!" "Edith!" "Mama!" "No!" "Lilly?" "Mama, no!" "Mama!" "Mama!" "Stay here." "Bye, Annabel." "Sleep, Annabel!" "Victoria, Lilly." " Sleep, Annabel." " Sleep." "Sleep." "Goodbye, Mama," "I love you." "Victoria, come." "Victoria stay." "Come, Lilly, Mama, Victoria." "No, Lilly, Mama." "Lilly!" "Lilly!" "Victoria, no!" "Lilly!" "Lilly!" "No!" "Please!" "No!" "Lilly!" "Oh, God, bring her back!" "Baby!" "Lilly!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, God!" "No." "No!" "Luke?" "Lilly?"

""They can see you from the place which you can't see them."" "You're in dream Tarýk." "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "'Till my soul is formed of stone and My mask is cleaned from dirts." "The biggest loneliness, surround the earth, will be blossomed out with your judgement." "Dead ones give life to your region." "Tell me, who you are?" "D@bbe aka DABBE" "English edited by Sparky" "He doesn't pick up the phone Sema, doesn't he ?" "He doesn't pick up the phone." "He had a job in internet." "Maybe he's still working on it." "No matter what it is, it's bothered me not to hear him by phone for four days." "Well, I understand why he didn't come." "But, it's nonsense not to pick up the phone." "Gosh!" "You're so weird." "He proposed you to date." "You refused him and told him to stay as friends." "Maybe not as much as yours, but men have proud, too." "Of course, he wouldn't answer your call." "But we've been calling him from work number." "How can he know it is Sema?" "I don't want to comment but Tarýk bought a new computer menwhile Sema refused him." "He may have shut down himself at home and give all attention to computer." "He phoned me at midnight, four days ago." "I was suprised, asked him that what happened." "After having waited for a moment in silence, he said that "Nothing" and shut down the phone." "I don't think, Tarýk's behavior is related to you, Sema." "Because, he did the same thing to me, a few days ago." "Well, you may be surprised but a week ago, he called me and muttered something that I didn't understand." "Then, he suddenly shut the phone." "To say the truth, he became weird after he has moved to that house." "It's so silent at nights there." "I would never prefer to stay there, even to be paid to stay." "Could he be at home right now?" "Tarýk!" "Are you at home?" "Tarýk!" "Does it work?" "It nearly finishes, miss." "Just a second!" "It's open." "Well, you may come in!" " Thank you." " Thanks, have a nice day." "What had happened to the home?" "What is all this mess?" "You've been here?" "God..." "I'm scared so much." "What have you done to your house?" "Sorry." "Hande, I didn't hear you come." "You're alright, aren't you?" "We couldn't reach you and worried about you." "Besides, why didn't you pick up the phone?" "I was working, I've been so busy." "Have you finished your work on internet?" "No, not yet." "You've been working on four days and nights." "What sort of work is this?" "What is it about?" "Can you tell bit?" "Never mind!" "You had borrowed my digital camera, if you're done with it, can I take it back?" "It's finished, thank you." "It's at the drawer under the bookshelf." "Hey, Tarýk." "Shall I open the windows for fresh air?" "For God sake!" "what is all these mess about?" "Black stripes, newspapers, stuffs ..." "If there's something to help you, I'm free." "You know, Sema's been really worried about you." "She thinks, you don't call us because of her." "I think, don't give up about Sema." "Got, what I mean?" "Tarýk?" "Tarýk!" "Tarýk!" "Tarýk!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Hello." "Hello, commander." "Good morning." "I'm Haluk!" "Good morning Haluk." "What's happened?" "Would you like to come earlier to office today?" "There's an incident case." "Yesterday, a weird suicide happened." "Station want you to take care of this case." "Station, who?" "Ministry of internal affairs in Ankara called us." "Tarýk Poyraz, 23 years old." "It looks like he commited suicide with a big kitchen knife at home which he lives alone, at 16.40 pm." "Pre-autopsy report tells us, there is no violence traces or bruises on the body." "The fingerprints on knife, only belongs to him." "Anyhow, he is known as an ordinary and beloved guy." "He earned money, by playing at stock exchange at internet." "He'd been in a melancholy in recent days.." "Mess in his room shows us he had some psychological problems." "There's his friend Hande Çerkez at home, while his suicide." "Both autopsy report and what girl testifies, tell same thing, it's a suicide." "But the reason is unknown." "Excuse me, commander." "Why ministry is so interested in that case?" "We don't understand either." "As they told us, that kind of deaths increase, especially in Istanbul." "Never mind." "The girl, you mentioned." "What is her name?" "Hande Çerkez." "She is at the reception now." "Miss Çerkez, commander Süleyman Dervis is highly authorized person in that case." "He'll ask you some questions." "Your friend's case is absolutely suicide." "So there is no suspicion about murder." "From now on, any detail, you testify would help us to close the case fast." "That's all." "Miss Çerkez, please look at my face, while I'm talking." "What cause might have driven your friend to commit a suicide?" "I don't know." "Do you know, why most people who decide to suicide, prefer to do it in the sea?" "Because, they dream of sea as a soft, big pillow." "Or a lovely mother chest." "They believe in that they will feel no pain." "But the worst and the the most painful death, is to be drowned in the water." "I mean, sometimes there may deeper clues, in the way how they commit a suicide." "Just like how your friend did it." "It doesn't look like a casual suicide, does it?" "Miss Çerkez can you please look at my face, while I'm talking." "What happened in the house that day?" "Tarýk, have you finished your work on internet?" "No, not yet." "You've been working on four days and nights." "What sort of work is this?" "What is it about?" "Can you tell a bit?" "Never mind!" "You had borrowed my digital camera, if you're done with it, can I take it back?" "It's finished, thank you." "It's at the drawer under the bookshelf." "Wake up!" "Wake up now!" "Wake up now!" "Wake up now!" "Wake up now!" "Wake up now!" "Wake up now!" "Wake up now!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "You're at dream Tarýk." "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Hande, what's happened?" "I saw Tarýk in my dream." "What caused to decide him kill himself such a bad way?" "I think, nothing to blame ourselves." "Suicide is not a sudden decison." "It's a kind of showing manifest of many years secrets and pains." "We thought that we've known him good." "But ..." "Last week he told me that he wanted to go far east for vacation." "He's been so ordinary." "You know, sometimes you're lost in thoughts, he even hasn't done it." "Actually, last days that internet work made him darker." "I always noticed him as; "Stand up, get fresh air to pull yourself together"." "What are policemen thinking?" "What did you testify them?" "Miss Çerkez can you please look at my face, while I'm talking." "What happened in the house that day?" "He talked to me in normal way." "Just looked so tired." "As you know, all walls are covered with black stripes and newspaper sheets." "When he approached to me, first he opened the drawer." "He took something there." "Then, went to his room." "I asked him the digital camera that he'd borrowed from me and he replied me." "I took my camera, then, a little bit after," "I heard his terrifying screaming as "Wake up!"" "Then..." "We know the rest." "Well, I'll ask you one last question." "This question is so important." "I understand that, Tarýk was so familiar in computers and internet world." "Does he has any interest with deviant religions, tariqas and cults which are very popular at internet recently?" "I've known him for years, I've never heard a thing like this." "Anyway, he never interested in such things like that." "He'd been using internet as earning money." "That's all." "So, you didn't mention them, that he has been refused by Sema for his propose to date, four days ago." "Don't be foolish Cem, you told me that there can't be any connection between that and Tarýk's suicide." "Alright, don't flare out." "I just... because I wondered." "We're not so fool to tell to the polices the this kind of stuffs." "Never mind." "Anyway, Tarýk hadn't been lucky at girls." "He was even some incompetent." "Friend of mine..." "I still can't believe." "That's not me!" "That's not me!" "That's not me!" "That's not me!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "That's not me!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "You're not real!" "You're not real!" "You're not in exist!" "You're not in exist!" "You're not in exist, go away!" "Go away!" "I will not let you come in!" "I will not let you come in!" "Go out!" "Go out!" "Where are you?" "This ability is unique for humankind only." "We forget death easily." "Also it's how it should be." "I've been noticing by myself, many people who I've known since my childhood, are dead now." "I mourned for each of them." "Especially, when my wife was dead." "But in short time later, this mourning fades away." "That is life!" "We always have to be strong." "Hello, how is it going, uncle?" "Thank you, welcome." "We're talking with Sema." "How are you doing?" "I'm good." "My mother called me and told if I prefer, come back to Istanbul." "I told her that I will stay for a little while." "It's good idea." "We need each other, at those hard times." "When we pull ourselves together, we'ld go to sailing with my uncle's boat." "I think, we can go to the island that I mentioned you before." "Girls!" "Are you ready to see something incredibly weird?" " How?" " What sort of?" "I was checking my emails." "I think, one of them is also interesting for you." "What's happened?" "What are you going to show us?" "Hold on." "Just a minute." "Look at the mail at the top." "The one, which has subject as 388@0." "Yes!" "This is Tarýk's email." "Email's been sent today." "Take me out of here." "How is it possible, a person, who comitted suicide three days ago, could have sent me an email ten minutes ago." "What is it in email?" "Open the email!" "This is the most interesting part." "A weird photo attached, next to the writing "Take me out of here"" "Have you seen detail?" "What is there?" "Look at carefully!" "Have you seen it?" "He has no pupils." "How could it possible?" "There's something at the background." "Humans?" "What are they?" "Really, what are those?" "What are they doing there?" "Zoom in." " Come on!" "Hurry up!" " Alright, don't be panic." "I wonder, who has taken the photo?" "Tarýk, himself could have shot it." "But, it is strange to get an email from a somebody already dead." "Is it possible that someone else can be using his email?" "Who?" "I don't know." "(whispering) The tape in my camera..." "Excuse me?" "Never mind, I don't suppose there should be no connection." "Let's close this subject." "Because, I don't feel good anymore." "Hello." "What's up Haluk?" "You got any results?" "Commander, they didn't get any useful info from boy's computer." "Didn't they get anything?" "Why?" "Police's brilliant pc genius' only found this garbage?" "What the hell are those?" "Weird part of it, they told us this is the first time they've seen a thing like that." "They didn't find any viruses in computer." "All infos are, what are in your hands now." "388@0" "388@0" "These're all stuff and nonsense." "Do you have any idea about what they are?" "I'll go for some shopping." "I'll buy bread, few eggs and for myself chocolates." "Do you want anything?" "No, thanks." "Okay." "See you later." "The suicide news surround throughout America after Japan." "Weird death news, especially, including young people, panicked American people." "Still we don't know the exact number." "Last week, 1337 suicide deaths've been reported." "Even some people don't care." "Authorities have been in alarm." "Now, our correspondent in America, will to report flash news." "Yasemin, what is going on in America?" "Nobody took serious some of the backstreet murders in New York." "Even media, just made a few news about them." "Government got red code, when these deaths multiplied like viruses and increased to thouzands." "Some of the people is living their usual life, but the others get panic." "Some said, this is the biggest chaos after the September 11th." "Especially, it is shown in campus areas." "Super power America's arms are tight." "Politicians and authorities have been exerting effort to appease the unrest among the people." "But the fear that covers America..." "Hande, is there something wrong?" "No, I was engrossed in, bell made me a little..." "My God!" "How could it be?" "Who is he?" "What is he doing?" "Gosh, What hell is it?" "Are you ready to inside out the reality?" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." "My veins are bursting!" "If somebody tell me these kinds of things will happen to me." "I'ld have just laughed." "The most interesting part is I really don't have any idea about what is going on." "Are you ready to inside out the reality?" "Are you ready to inside out the reality?" "I don't know what it means." "But these are not ordinary." "Tarýk's death wasn't ordinary either." "What do you mean?" "I didn't want you to show you." "Tarýk shot really weird things by my camera." "I've took my camera that day." "There was a tape in it." "I can't believe you, how could you hide that kind of thing from us?" "It's not an issue to hide Sema." "I watched and afraid so much." "So I decided not to show you, so that not to fear you." "Well, what did he shoot by camera?" "He was screaming as if there was somebody else in his room." "He was covering every hole on the walls by newspapers and black stripes." "And he was also crying unusual way and slaping himself." "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "You're not real!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Come on!" "Where are you?" "I saw you both from the window." "But when I went out, you weren't there." "I was shudder weirdly, as if we were dead already." "That's enough." "I'm going back to Istanbul." "I don't feel myself good here." "Sema, I will give cassette and Tarýk's photo to the police." "I don't want to send you to Istanbul in this mood." "Cem, Could you email me Tarýk's photo." "I'll give it with the video to the police." "The best way is not to butt in you all to the police." "Alright." "Commander there's something on TV, which might interest you." "As suicides in Istanbul increase to 34, authorized people start to think a connection between suicides in America." "But, they don't want to proclamation on that case." "Our guest is psychologist Ahmet Tasli." "Mr. Tasli, welcome." "Hello." "Is it alright to make a connection with suicides at Europe and America?" "First of all there isn't any specific age graphic at that situation." "Including Turkey, untill now there isn't any forensic and medical solution." "Just one common point." "Internet!" "So can we connect these suicides with a deviant religion or a cult." "Correct?" "Actually, datas which come from America show us, a deviant cult that really active and secret, hypnotizing related people at the end, they drive them to suicide." "But all known, communnication through internet recovers religion, culture, race, border and passport problems." "But I want to look at the case totally different perception."

"Things that we don't know, until now, we never believe that could be in exist, metaphysical elements were awaken now."

"If so, a person who attempt suicide, has to be judged for an attempt to murder?" "Then, we can't call it as a murder." "Yes!" "So, we, as homicide squad, why the hell are we dealiing with that case?" "Now, I want two issues for you to do." "First, search that 388@0 file." "Is there any connection with America?"

"It's better not to use internet for a while." "It's just as a precaution." " Good night." " Thank you good night." "See you." "Alright, mum." "I'm alright." "I'll stay here for a while." "Yes." "OK." "You told me that here is safer than Istanbul." "Hande is preparing dinner." "Say my greetings!" "She says hello to you." "OK mummy, see you later." "Had Tarýk has any weird behaviours before?"

"What do you think about the suicides started all around the world?" "I don't realize that how could the biggest fear of all, the death, is becomng very attractive to somebody." "Of course if it's true that all deaths are because of suicide." "What else could be if there is no any acquaintance among suicides?" "I don't know." "You are hungry, aren't you?" "Honey." "I will make ready right now." "No french fries, anymore." "You have to watch your cholesterol." "From now on you'll eat boiled vegetables, salad and fruits only." "I will not even complaint about your smoking." "I'm bored to tell you." "But as the doctor says, Forbidden items are flour, sugar and salt." "But there's one more thing important." "You tell me it!" "Water!" "Yes, honey." "You win." "Water!" "Why did you cheat me?" "Love is a poison!" "I don't get it." "What do you mean?" "How did you do that to me?" "You have cheated on me." "Don't be ridicilous Sultan." "You must be kidding." "Thanks to you, I discover the most painful part of cheating." "Do you wonder what?" "Sultan!" "Both loving and cheating."

"You knew about it" "But you didn't tell me" "Am I right?" "You came and invited me ever so magnanimously" "You could have told me at least then, right?" "Hey!" "Rascal" "How many times I've told you to serve tea to the guest first?" "If I tell you once, won't it enter your thick skull?" "Learn whom you should treat with respect and how" "Get lost!" "Please drink your tea" "Next week my daughter is getting engaged" "Very soon she will be married" "Don't think I'm sharing this out of respect for you" "If my dignity is at stake I won't hesitate resorting to pulling their insides out" "Warn your sons" "Where is your son?" "Why?" "What happened?" "Tell me" "Hey!" "How dare you" "Let go of my hand I will kill you" "Why are you hitting him?" "Let go" "Why are you hitting him?" "For having raised him and made him a man he has honored me with a good name" "I'm hitting him with all that joy!" " Rascal!" " Stop it" "Listen to me" "Go in, dear" "I just wanted to" "Go inside" "At least you listen to me Please go inside" "What's wrong with you?" "What can get worse than this?" "My reputation, dignity vanished into thin air" "I teach my students lessons usually" "Today someone else is teaching me a lesson" "All...all because of him" "Next week his daughter is getting engaged" "If your sons go and create a ruckus there you won't see me alive" "Are you still upset?" "Isn't your father justified in being mad at you about this?" "Not because he hit me" "I love Subha with all my heart" "But when I think of how much I have ruined the peace of mind of everyone ...I hate myself" "Even I thought in 1 single day my whole life was in shambles" "But even if my father had found a groom for me I don't think I could have been luckier than this!" "Don't lose heart" "You'll also find your peace of mind" "Whoever opposes you your brother will be by your side" "When my son was born we celebrated with offerings to our family deity in grand style" "After 27 years we have come here ...as thanksgiving to the same God for the 1st auspicious event in our family" "We have hardly finished thanking" "And you come here asking me to cancel the engagement" "Is Rajamanickam aware your brother is in love with his daughter?" "It's not only the taste that counts" "All the guests should be looked after very well" "Those who eat our feast should talk about our wedding for a whole week" "Okay...?" "We will do as per your wish, sir" "My groom's father is on the line" "I'll fix the wedding date and let you know" "You can leave now" "I'll be back" "Hello 'sammandhi'" "Wedding preparations are in full swing" "We've got the best wedding hall Spoke to the best cook in town" "I'll pay the advance as soon as the date is fixed" "What about your side?" "I want to ask you something" "It seems your daughter is in love with some chap" "Tell me" "Did you think you could hide everything and conduct this wedding, Rajamanickam?" "Can we talk in person please?" "Is there anything left to discuss?" "I have no problem telling you what really happened, sir" "I spoke to that boy's father and cleared everything" "You cleared everything with the father" "What about your daughter?" "She also reciprocated his love!" "My daughter won't go against my wish the way you think" "Forced marriage won't work This is a different era altogether" "Even if you thought so why should my son be the scapegoat?" "Look for another alliance suitable to your status!" "Hello...hello" "Deivanai, they asked me to cancel the wedding" "Don't think she is calm and submissive" "She is the sole reason for this cancellation" "She...she is up to something" "I have nothing to do with this calling off" "It is happening of its own accord" "Don't pull words out of my mouth" "Didn't you plan to elope on the temple festival day?" "You just assume something and come to your own wrong conclusions" "When Saravana's father spoke to you you may have had 100 reasons for rejecting his proposal" "But when he asked me to elope I refused based on only 1 reason" "Both of you" "Though you were preparing for my wedding so eagerly I was cool and collected only because of my intuition" "I was sure all this won't materialize" "But let me tell you this today When I marry Saravanan will be the groom" "That too with your consent" "Don't get me wrong Will you take a decision soon?" "Or keep your daughter at home and keep protecting her?" "Our society is unaware of the news we know" "A daughter should be married well within the right time" "Why don't you get Subha married to your sister's son Arul?" "Wondering if your hot-tempered sister will take good care of your daughter?" "Arul is a good fellow" "Didn't he forget all the feud and stand by you in your time of need?" "This way you can patch up the long drawn family feud too" "Your sister's lifeline is shaky" "Instead of standing at her funeral as one among the crowd it makes sense to be part of her family through marriage ties" "You come over I'll take care of the rest" "Come in" "Hey Arul, call your uncle in" "Hello, uncle Come in, aunt" "Welcome, it has been decades since you stepped into our house" "Come in, uncle" "Please come in" "Please be seated" "Devanai" "Here, sister-in-law" "Why are you hesitating?" "Talk, clear the air and call it a truce" "Take the packet of salt as truce" "Grandma, look who is here" "Our village president has come to visit us" "Have you come to send me off on my final journey?" "I am worried I'll die before my grandson finds a good wife" "Will you consent to your daughter becoming my grandson's wife and make me die peacefully?" "Kayavarnam, they have come all this way to patch up the feud" "Why are you hesitating?" "What are you thinking about?" "At least say 'yes' or 'no'" "Didn't she accept the salt handed to her now true to our custom?" "Then why this silence?" "That is equal to consent" "Fix a good date and let them get engaged" "Why do we have to fix a good date?" "Everyday is a good day when it comes to a joyous event" "Periyayi, get the tray with betel leaves to seal the pact" "Your wish has come true You're happy now?" "How dare you come here!" "Bro, don't" "Don't lose your cool" "Let go of me" "If your anger will dissipate only if you hit me, go ahead" "But first please hear me out" "This caste issue and false prestige is making you take rash decisions" "Whatever it is, think calmly" "Just for your self-satisfaction, if you get your daughter married to a man she doesn't like she won't be happy" "So why go ahead with this alliance?" "Who are you to preach to me?" "I know what's good and bad for me" "GO" "If this is your final decision then please hear mine" "Only my brother will marry your daughter" "You go ahead and do what you want" "You can think twice if it is a stranger's house" "Why hesitate to come here?" "Anyway she will come here very soon as my daughter-in-law" "What's wrong if she comes here a few days earlier?" "Hey betel-leaf box!" "Bring my daughter-in-law here" "And ask my brother to attend to the wedding preparations" "When I am here let me see what they can do" "Have my sons created any problem for you?" "Nothing of that sort" "You've come here at this late hour" "I have come to ask you a favor" "Favor...?" "I was so selfish, steeped in false notions of caste and prestige" "I didn't give a thought to my daughter's happiness" "What happened?" "Our chief is here" "Welcome, sir" "Aw!" "Cow dung" "You stamped on it?" "Let me get you some water" "Don't bother" "Just tell me where I can get water" "Right here" "'I thought you might have to give in'" "'I didn't think he would visit us and accept this alliance'" "'Aunt, it isn't as simple as you think'" "I was literally lying on a hot bed of coal for 20 years" "Didn't he make me a widow and abandon me?" "If I get his daughter married and make her a widow the very next week?" "Won't he feel the pain?" "I thought she wanted a truce and I agreed to this alliance" "But she would stoop so low as to kill her own son I never even dreamt" "To think I've given my word and to get my daughter married to Arul is as good as poisoning my own daughter" "Even though I thought caste is the only priority you were the one who made me realize people are equally important" "Sir, will you accept my daughter as your daughter-in-law?" "What is this, sir?" "When you stepped in here, trusting us, wanting your daughter to be happy the next minute she became our daughter-in-law" "Be brave We are here for you" "Is this way blocked?" "A tree fell across the road, sir" " I just went by this route" " It fell only now" "They will remove it only tomorrow morning" "I see" " Is there another route?" " You can go this way" " This way?" " Yes" "Okay" "Greetings, anna" "You got your daughter engaged to my son" "And signed a separate pact there" "Till date you haven't changed one bit" "You continue to be the dunkhead who cannot honor his words!" "Hey!" "Mind your words" "Don't I know your intention when you formalized the engagement?" "My daughter's life is my only priority" "Then when do we settle my account?" "Hear me out" "Doesn't matter who you seek help from" "Not only your daughter" "But you can't even grab a handful of sand from my house" "It is a major problem" "But come what may only you should marry the girl" "Just because he came home I wasn't politely consoling him" "I've given him my word that you'll do the needful" "Hey Vetri, kidnap her now" "He is missing?" "What do you mean?" "Did you enquire thoroughly?" "Let me try his number and then call you back" "Why is the number switched off?" "Sister-in-law?" "Why do you look dull?" "Your brother promised to call me last night" "But he didn't" "I tried calling him The phone is switched off" "Shall I go up to the house and check if everything is alright?" "Are you going alone?" "Wait" "As a safety measure let me file a complaint ...in the police station that he's missing!" "In case he calls you call me immediately" "Subha will be fine, right?" "He came only yesterday" "Hey, Kandha" "Come here" "Escort my sister-in-law to her house" "Okay, please come" "See you, sister-in-law" "Call Subha's friend" "Ask her to find out where she is" "She may know someone in that village, right?" "That's right" "Hey Latha" " This is Latha here" " Hey Latha, how are you?" "I called for something else" "Can you do me a favor?" "Why do you even ask?" "Tell me what I should do" "Not for me" "My husband will talk to you" "Listen carefully to what I say" "I'll leave immediately" "What...?" "President hasn't opened his eyes yet" "Should we take him to the hospital?" "Not in broad daylight!" "Not that" "Why have you come instead of your mother?" "Mother isn't feeling too good" "So she sent me to help you with the wedding preparations" "Go inside and attend to your work" "Okay, madam" "You leave now, I will make the necessary arrangements" "Okay, akka" "Subha is here" "But her parents don't seem to be here" "How are things otherwise?" "Not what you feared at all, anna" "Wedding preparations are going on normally" "I'll call you again later" "In case you get any information before that, let me know" " Okay, anna" " Hey!" "You" "I told you to dry the rice and you are busy fiddling with your phone here" " I already did, madam" " Oh!" "Okay" " Do you know to ride a bike?" " Yes, I do" " Look at this photo" " When did you take this?" "Wait" " Did akka send it?" " Yes, bro" "Leave it in there" "Okay, bro" " Anna, I saw the President" " Where did you see him?" "Exactly which spot?" " Aunt, your phone is ringing" " Bring it here" "Smear this with turmeric and bring it to me" "Okay" "Tell me" "That girl informed someone over the phone" "I knew she would" "She has come here only to spy on us, I was sure" "That's why I sent her there" "She fell into my trap" "A new chap is sure to land up there" "Take care of him right there" "Understood?" "I'll be back in a bit" "Deliver the vegetables to the wedding hall" "Only because both families will patch up their feud I agreed to this alliance" "But my mother plans to send you back as a widow 1 week after the wedding" "To take revenge on your father" "How can I go with this?" "I'm absolutely against it" "There's no time to think Ask Saravanan to come" "Before my mother returns I'll drop you outside the village limit" "From there you can go back with him" "At least I want you to be happy!"

"Now, when Trudy and Julius passed, that was an ending, but in a funny kind of a silver liningy way, it's brought us together, hasn't it?" "I have to go." "Wait." "Stop." "Don't..." "Don't go." " Gabrielle!" " April, goddammit!" "Would you like to know who your father was?" "He was a famous man, now dead." "Why don't we go to my office and really talk?" " Thank you, no."

"All kinds of exercise, I'm a nut for." "Could we slow down for just a moment?" "Oh, being related like this is just incredible." "You were saying about my father?" "You hardly know me yet." "Well, thank you, Ms. Graves, it was traumatic and potentially illuminating to have met you." "I met him when I was fifteen." " I worked in perfume." " Where, exactly?" "Well, four blocks that way, as it happens." "Used to be Bonwit Teller." "You can look it up." "Since I wasn't rich, I earned extra money working in their perfume department." " So this was a customer?" " Oh, a very special customer." "He came in to buy a gift for his mother." "He was close to his mother, too close," " because no woman could measure up." " Who was it?" "He was immediately flirtatious, but not in a boorish way." "He was, and I say this in all humility..." "enchanted." " Who was it?" " Steve McQueen." " How dare you." " We were deeply in love." "Well, what went wrong?" "He was single when I met him." "Separated, anyway." "I never would've gotten involved had his relationship been viable, but I sensed they weren't through." ""They" would be Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw?" "If you watch The Getaway, you'll sense a certain closeness." "I feel good about that." "By the way, do you have any children?" " Was it a one-night stand?" " Oh, the memory lasted a lifetime." "Your generation is so cynical." " When was I conceived?" " Around the fourth of July." " Around or on?" " On!" " Was he right or left handed?" " What kind of question is that?" "Circumcised?" "Catholic." "I understand your parents were Jewish." " So what?" "So am I." " Well, God bless." " What does that mean?" " God bless that you believe in God." " You don't believe in God?" " I don't know." "Watched the news lately?" "I'll ask you one more time, why did you give me up?" "I didn't give you up." "You were taken from me." "Didn't they tell you that?" "My father was very religious." "I held you in my arms for three days, praying that it wouldn't happen." "But it did." "He walked in, he took you, and he left me screaming." "How do I know any of this is true?" "Because it is!" "All right, listen to me, and please respect what I say to you." "I have to go home, think about this, and decide what to believe." "OK." "OK." "Thank you." " I appreciate you..." " Can you drop me?" "What?" "Where?" "Back there." "All right." "When can we do this again?" "Everyone needs family." "I will call you." "Let me give you my number." "Do you have a pen?" "OK." "Give me your hand." "Please?" "It's harder to lose a hand." "This isn't just a thousand-to-one shot." "This is a professional blood sport." "It can happen to you." "And then it can happen to you again." "I want my mommy!" "Hi, everybody." "Thanks for your patience." " Oh, some more than others." " I want my mommy!" "I want my mommy!" "Ruby, I need you to come here now." "Get your shoes on." "Why don't you come in first?" "I mean, for obvious reasons." "That's OK." "You go ahead." "Besides, we're having so much fun here." " Are you sure?" " Of nothing." "I want my mommy!" " Pardon me." " What!" "We're all right." "We're fine." " You're fine?" "She's fine?" " Yeah, we're fine." "Mm-hm, fine." " Listen, I'm sorry about what I..." " Shh." "I'm sorry about what I said to you." "Listen, I'm four weeks divorced." "For all I know, I was coming on to you." "Were you coming on to me?" "No, I wasn't." "Why I wasn't, I can't imagine." "Um, this is Jimmy Ray's portfolio." " I think he's in trouble." " You do?" " Sorry, what were you about to say?" " His printing is good." " Really?" " Mm-hm." "K's made him nervous, but he likes them now." " He seems happiest..." " He has night terrors." " Did you say night terrors?" " I think they're night terrors." " He walks in his sleep." " How often?" "Once, ten months ago." " What happened?" " He peed in the fridge." "Have you slept?" "Oh, no." "No." "I love his hands." "I do." "I love how he uses them, how expressive he is." "I love that, too." "He has a little less confidence just right at the moment," " but I think that's to be expected." " Do you have kids?" "No." "He talks about his mom a lot." "He seems to worship her." "From afar." "She's on a trip round the world." "She's a painter." "She's painting the world with her boyfriend." "Oh." "I see you outside in your car." "Is that..." "Yes." "I work out there." "I write." "In your car?" "I like to keep an eye on the building." "It relaxes me." "Mm." "So why didn't you have kids?" "I've watched you." "You love them." "And you're..." "Old?" "No." "No, my God, no." "You can't be more than what, you're 35, 34?" "I'm 39 and a half years old and I've never been pregnant." "Well, if you put it like that." " It looks pretty bleak, doesn't it?" " No." "No, it looks painful." "And beautiful." "And I hope you get everything you want." "Um, dinner." "Apparently I want dinner." " Well, bon appétit." " Oh, would you like to get some dinner?" "No, I'd rather eat frozen food alone for the fifteenth month in a row." "Yes, I'd like to get dinner." "But I think you are a very beautiful woman and for some reason I decided not to go on any kind of date for at least a year." "Why?" "Because I'm a fucking idiot." "Thank you, you're gorgeous." "I'm leaving now." "Yes, I would like to get some dinner." " Best friends?" "He said that?" " Mm-hm." "Is this man entirely intact?" "You know, we were best friends." "I loved him." "Kept hoping one day, pop, he'd be a grown-up." "So your wife was seeing someone else?" "Pretty much everyone else." "I was too much for her." " For your wife?" " Mm-hm." "I'm sure she didn't feel that way." " She told me." " What did she say?" ""You're too much for me."" "Ohh!" "So was it just out of the blue?" "It was out of the blue because I was an idiot." "I came across the ocean to be a blind idiot." "This woman may actually let her kids grow up without knowing their mother." "I hope not." "How can you know if someone's your mother?" "I mean, literally, if someone says they're your mother, how can you know for sure?" "DNA test, I guess." "Why?" "I mean, you don't not look like Steve McQueen." " Is she a credible person?" " I have no idea." "My God, you have a chance to get to know your mother." "Yes, I guess I do." "What do you write in here?" "Books." "Jackets." "Jackets for other people's books." "For now." " Get a hair." " I'm sorry?" "For the DNA test." "Get a hair." "Oh." "Thank you." "Well." " I don't wanna say good night." " I don't either." "Uh-oh." "You suppose my son would notice if I just didn't pick him up from his play day?" "I'm sure he'd understand." "OK, I need you to do something for me." "I need you to get in your car." "Which is your car?" "Yeah, I need you to get in your car and drive away, first." "Because I can't." "Will you do that for me?" " Seriously?" " Yes." "You will go home, right?" "I won't find you guys here in the morning wearing the same thing?" " OK." "Good night." " Good night." "Maybe I should call you when you get home, just so you can be sure." "I'd appreciate that." "I worry." "Yeah, I do, too." "What are you making?" "Well, it's peanut butter and jelly." "And I have to confess that we don't share your countrymen's love of peanut butter." "And jelly isn't jelly." "That's another thing I have to have a word with you about." "Well, if you were in England, what would you be making?" "This would probably be cheese and pickle." "Did you say cheese and pickle?" "You don't know what pickle is." "You give me a hard time about peanut butter and jelly and you say cheese and pickle?" "I'm defending food to an Englishman." "Is that happening to me right now?" "Our sex life was dominated by her artwork, you know?" "What do you mean?" "Well, she liked to depict acts of autoeroticism." "Oh." "I sometimes make toast and have tea after I've brushed my teeth, and I don't brush them again." "Do you ever do that?" "No, no, no, I can't." "I'm, um, I'm British."

"What do you feel like?" "It's a kind of a pubby place." "Would a hamburger be all right?" " Oh, my God!" " What?" "You're a little anaemic, aren't you?" "Runs in the family." "Actually, I would just like a hamburger." "Oh." "OK." "Come on." "So, Janeane Garofolo, you've lived in the West Village for a long time, what's it like when the denizens of the village come out and march about?" " In Gay Pride?" " Yes."

" Was this recent?" " Yes." " Was there trouble for a long time?" " Long enough." "Do you still want kids?" "Of course you still want kids." " May I use this?" " Oh, yes, of course." "Here, let me have it." "Let's see." "I'll clean it out for you." "There you go." "What's mine is yours." "I want to find this record to play for you."

"Steve McQueen was on the Yangtze River, it's in Southern China, making a film called The Sand Pebbles." "He was there between March, 1966, and September." " You were born in April?" " Yes." "Is it possible this could've happened in Southern China?" "She told me Manhattan." "Sorry, I just don't think he could've been." "I don't know who you are or what you want, but I want you to stay away from me." "How dare you invade the life of another human being this way?" "What kind of selfish, psychotic, compassionless freak must you be?" "Do not ever try to contact me again or I will call the police, I swear to God!" " Freddy?" " You sitting down?" "Yes." "She's your mother." " Begin." " I know what a risk this is for you." "You have no idea." "And nothing could possibly excuse my having told you a lie." "Begin!" "His name was Jack Watske." "He was a Ukrainian boy from the neighborhood." "A little gangly, but gorgeous." "Did you ever meet anybody and know in a heartbeat you'd do whatever they say?" " You dated?" " We courted." " Meaning?" " We had sex three times." "He told me I had a perfect body!" "I was so inexperienced, I had no idea he was right!" "I still have a fine body but of course it's never the same after childbirth." " Would you please?" " My girlfriend's parents were out of town." "He and I were in a sleeping bag in their backyard." "We made love." "It was so cold outside the sleeping bag, and so warm in it, and afterwards, I cried and cried and cried, and he pretended to understand why." "So that's where I was conceived?" "No, you were conceived a week later, according to a great American tradition." " Speak English." " I fucked him at a drive-in." " What movie?" " Bullitt." " Why did you lie?" " I don't know why." "I thought it was ugly and ordinary, and I wanted to make it beautiful." "If I made him famous and dead, he'd be famously dead, and you wouldn't waste time trying to find him." " I tried for years." "He's unfindable." " How convenient." "Look, don't you think that if I could offer your father up to you, I'd do it," " whatever shape he was in?" " How should I know what you'd do?" " Because I'm telling you!" " What is that worth?" " I'm giving you my word!" " Bernice, look at me." "I will know if you're lying." "Memorise this moment." "I know what I did to you." "I lied in the scariest way imaginable, and now, at the worst of all possible times, when your husband just left you..." "Or did you leave him?" "I get the sense that he left you." "OK, it's none of my business." "It will not happen again." "I knew it." "I knew it." "That's why I said Steve McQueen." " What?" " I knew you'd be ashamed." "It's not that." "Please understand, it's not you as much as me." "I'm glad to have met you, but I'm going through some things, and now is not a good time." "Thank you for understanding, and I really do hope that our paths will cross again." "I'm gonna walk home now, so... goodbye." " You're absurd!" " Give me 72 hours." "Three lousy days." "I want to know you." "I want to meet your brother." "I'm begging you." "I'm on my knees." "Metaphorically speaking, I'm on my knees." "Oh, for God's sake!" "It's Freddy." "Leave me a message." "I'm begging you." "Come with me." "I'm going to this event with her." "She wants to meet you." "Or at least call me back." "I know you're working hard, but I worry." ""I was," mumbled Gun Smith." ""No one had ever tangled with those two varmints and lived to tell the tale."" ""So one day, a drifter..."" "Hello?" " Never mind." " What?" "I have the wrong number." " Miss Epner?" " Hello." " Hi, it's Jimmy Ray." " Of course it is." "Hello, Jimmy Ray, is your father there?" "Dad, it's Miss Epner." " Hello." " God!" "Hello." "It's me, it's Miss Epner." "Hello, Miss Epner." " It's April." " Hi." " Is Jimmy Ray right there?" " Yes." "Oh, God!" "Just please, just say" ""OK, Miss Epner", and I'll call you another time." "OK, Miss Epner." "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you during the day." "It was a really bad mistake." "OK, Miss Epner." "Are you there?" "Would you like to go out with me tomorrow night?" "More than I can say." " Everybody say, "Send us money!"" " Send us money!" " Oh, you look lovely." " Thank you." "So do you." "Thank you." "I'm glad you didn't bring a date." "It'll be more fun this way." " I did bring a date." " Oh, good, I'm so glad!" " Where is he?" " He's meeting me here." " Oh." "Is this your first date?" " With him or since my husband?" " Either." " Both." " Jesus Christ!" "You want a drink?" " Yes, please." " OK." "April." " Hi." " Hello." "You look beautiful." " Doesn't she?" " Uh, Frank, this is Bernice." "I'm so glad to get to meet you." " Thank you." " I've enjoyed your show." "Oh, you're lying." "You've never seen my show." "I don't do a lot of lying." "Well, that makes one of us." "Hey, beautiful!" "His name is Ted." "I think he has the best ass I've ever seen on a 50-year-old man." " Hey." " Hey." " Oh, you must be April." " Yes." "It's nice to meet you." "This is Frank." " Hello." " A pleasure." " Shall we get some drinks?" " Absolutely." " After you." " No, please, after you." "OK." "Everybody say, "Sake bomb!"" "Sake bomb!" " Oh, my gosh!" " You're telling me!" " I love these." " I knew I liked you." "I don't drink like this." "Well, tonight you do." " Am I being too nice to her?" " No!" " Not nice enough?" " What do you mean?" "This is your mother." "Are you getting what you want from me as your date?" "Oh, God, just that you asked." "You're perfect." "Thank God you're here!" "I am perfect, by the way." "I'm glad you noticed." "Just to get this in..." "before we're hopelessly drunk." "I'm so glad you called." "I know we're not ready, but I love talking to you." "You move me." "This moves me, that you're trying this with her." "I'm so glad I'm here." "Oh!" "God, I'm sorry!" "After he said something like that?" "They should make those things illegal." "I'm sure it's my brother." "I'm sure." "I'm sorry." "I just worry." "Sorry." " Is it you?" " It's me." "Oh." "Hello." " Hi." " Hi." "Sorry, hi." " Everything all right?" " Yes." " Who's that?" " No one." "I'm sorry, I'll be right back." " Hello?" " Yeah, I'm here." " Hi." " Hi." "Hi." "So, how are you?" "Where are you?" "Nowhere special." "Decided to drift around for a while, you know - get lost." "Let the road take me where it wants me to go." " Just tell me." " I'm at my mom's." " That's perfect!" " Don't do that." " What?" " Humiliate me." " Do you know the actual, physical pain..." " Why are you calling me?" "Because I miss you, and I thought now that some time has passed..." "It's been 23 days, you idiot!" "You're ready to be my friend?" "Well..." "OK, I'm glad I called." " Well, take care..." " My mom died." " Did you say..." " Talk to you later." " Wait, when?" " 22 days ago." "Why didn't you call me?" "Oh, I don't know, I guess I just didn't feel that close to you." "I have to, I have to see you." " Oh, no." "I'll end up in bed with you and..." " I want to be there." "Really?" "Do you promise to be there for better or worse, for richer and poorer," " in sickness..." " I miss you." "How much?" "A lot." "Enough?" "That's what I thought." "Be a man and leave me alone!" ""For better or worse."" "I'm gonna guess not your brother, right?" "No." "Oh, where are you going?" " I think I'm leaving." " Please don't leave!" " Now where you going?" " I'm not leaving." " You just said you were leaving." " I was then, now I'm not." "But you're walking away." "I have to do something." "OK." "Are we doing it yet?" "All right, look, you were just talking to your husband about for better or worse and god knows what else, and I just, I feel..." "Aargh!" "Fuck!" "When I feel this way, I find it helps to take my "Aargh fuck" out for a walk, so that's what I'm doing, and you're not invited." "But I will say this, this is a first date, and if you're not done with him who you're married to, if you two aren't done, it's fine." "It's more than fine." "Just tell me." "I'm not ready, anyway." " Frank, I'm done with him." " It's OK if you're not." " But I am." " How do I know?" "You're gonna have to... trust me." "You kidding me?" "And it doesn't feel like a first date, not to me." "You wait until we try to say good night." "I'm sorry again, and I had a wonderful time with you." "I did, too." "See?" "I haven't done this for a long, long time, so, forgive me for not finding a sexier way to put this," " but would you like to come in?" " I can't." "You can't?" "As if having a jealous girlie fit on our first date wasn't emasculating enough," "I have to get home to my kids." "They need their mum, and I'm it." "That's not emasculating." "It's very sexy." "How sexy?" "You have a very nice house." "# She says wake up" "# It's no use breaking down" "# I'll keep stealing, breathing her" "# Birds are leaving over autumn's ending..." "# One of us will..."

"I only slept with him last night." "Trust me, I am not pregnant." "I'm too old not to have a baby." "Obviously you're not too old to have a baby." "No, I'm too old not to have a baby, and this baby connects me forever to a man," " who is that man you were talking about." " What man?" "Who you know you'll do whatever they say."

"You're doing really well." " Hi, Alice." " Oh, hello, dear." "Hello." "Uh, so, how are you?" "Well, you know, my back hurts." "That's too bad." "So, Alice, can Benjamin come out and play?"

"I'm sorry if I didn't instantly come up with a perfect solution to this very complicated situation!" "It's not complicated!" "I'm having this baby." "You may participate in the raising of this baby." "I can't make you do it, but I would hope that you would wanna be there for the growing up of this person who carries your DNA!" "The first doctor's appointment is in two weeks." "I'll see you there, or I won't." "I'm so sorry." "I've never met anyone like you, ever." "I've never been so much myself with anyone." "Even these few times we've spent together have felt like..." "What?" "Family." "I'm sorry, but it has." "And I know it's fast, but I can only tell you how I feel, and how I feel is that I wanna be near you all the time." "But I have some big decisions to make about how my life's gonna work," " and if you'll have me, so do you." " Why you talking fast?" "Jimmy Ray shouldn't know I'm here." "If we're gonna be family, he should know he didn't dream you up half-naked in his house." "And besides, he knows you're here." "No, I was very careful to wait till he was a safe distance away." "Hi, Miss Epner." "Hi, Jimmy Ray." "D'you wanna be with him - the better or worse guy?" "Is that someone you wanna be with?" " No, it's not." " But if it is..." "But it's not." "Truthfully?" "I wanna be with you." "But being with me is gonna mean being with this." "How pregnant are you?" " They said six weeks." " Six weeks?" "That's what they said, six weeks today." "We met six weeks ago today, actually." " Mm." " Which was the day he left." "You made love on the day we met?" "Ah..." "Yeah." "Sorry." "What happened?" "Um, I've gotta take a walk." " Really?" " Yes, really." "I'm on the brink of asking you to be with me - really, really be with me." "You, who have some other guy's..." "your husband's baby in your stomach, your very beautiful stomach." "I've gotta take a walk." " What about your kids?" " What about them?" " Who's gonna watch them?" " You are." "The walk didn't work." "Your mother's here." "No, she's not." "I told her to wait in the car." "I'm just here if either of you need me." "I can't stand the thought of it." "Of me sleeping with my husband?" "You slept with your wife, at least twice, you know." "It's not like the most appetising thing I've ever imagined." "No, of course it's not." "Hey." "You're pregnant." "Yes, I am." "Way to go." "So now what?" "Both of them, or neither of them, will show up at the doctor's office." "All I know is, I'll be there." "You don't know how to work a blender!" "Take your hat off." "Jeez!" "Hello." " Hello." " Hello." " How are you?" " Hi." " Hi." " Hello." "Hm." "Um..." "Sorry." "So..." "Anyone else coming?" " No." "This is it." " No, this is it." "Uh, could you lower this, please?" "Oh, my God." "This looks really good." "I've seen a couple of these." " Where did she go?" " She'll be back." "Look at that." "Oh, my God." " Oh, my God." " Oh, my God." " So, what exactly is..." " Sorry." " No, go ahead." " No, no, go ahead." "He, or she just looks great." "Can I have a look at that before I have to run?" "She's beautiful." "We made a baby." " You look pretty." " It's the hormones." "Whatever." "Oh!" "Your back?" "Yeah." "Oh!" "Ohh!" "Oh." "Ah..." "Oh." " Really?" " Uh-huh." "Mm." "Um..." "Um..." " Anything?" " What?" "Do you have anything to say?" "Don't." "I don't know what to say." " Oh!" " See ya." "I thought we were having dinner after the show." "I'm in trouble." "Come with me." "Phew!" " They're ready for you." " We're gonna run late today." " OK." " I'm panicking." " Tell me." " I sort of... slept with my husband." "Well, almost." "Ohh!" "Break-up sex, but it's kind of great, right?" "Don't." "Don't be glib about this." "I'm with a man who sees me, really sees me, and somehow still wants to be with me, and I want him and I just blew it!" " Oh, God, it's him!" " I don't suppose you've cheated before." " Mm-mm." " Of course not." "With someone who's bad for me." "What am I gonna do?" "Here's what we're going to do." "I'm going to go in and rehearse, so everyone knows what they're doing, and then I'm going to send everyone home, and we're going to shoot the show tonight, or in a couple of hours, or maybe never." "OK?" " Thank you." " Mm." "OK." "Edie, I have to tell you, Sunday nights are about the..." "A good question." "Shall we make gay marriage a priority during this election, or should we just not take the bait?" "If Pam dies, what happens to our daughter?" "I have no rights." " Oh, thank you." " It's very scary." "Very scary." "At least I'm not one of those insular gay men, who throws himself into his work, and devotes himself to people who can never love him back romantically." "What we want to ask you is, do you think it's right..." "It's so hard for anyone to meet someone." "Have you ever seen the show she did on you?" "I can't be around people who have adopted children." "Especially girls." "Have you ever tried to find her?" "Endlessly." "On the Internet." "Um, I put ads in the paper." "Do you feel... haunted?" "Yes." "Whenever there are kids around," "I'm always looking for her face." "In shopping malls, in the parks." "I have something I want to say." "I hadn't planned on doing this, but hearing you speak, it's just something I have to do." "I had a child that I gave up for adoption." "It was many, many years ago." "I was very young." "I tried, God knows, but the year I spent with that child was the scariest, most darkly miserable time of my life." "One minute you're cuddling in a sleeping bag and the next minute, you've ruined the rest of your life." "Can you rewind this?" " To the beginning?" " Um, no, just a little." "I tried, God knows, but the year I spent with that child was the scariest..." "Go back again, just... five seconds." "Are you sure?" " Yeah, in fact, I don't..." " Could you go one sentence back?" "...but the year I spent with that child was the scariest, most darkly miserable time of my life." "Finally, I said uncle." "Do you think you just hand it over?" "You probably put it down somewhere, and the next people come along and pick it up?" "Hey, can I find you some dry clothes?" "You want me to get it?" "It's me!" " Maybe you'll feel better if you talk to her." " I can hear you in there." "Don't make me bang the door down." " Hello." " Hi." "I've seen your picture." "She doesn't wanna see you right now." "Too bad, I'm her mother." "Maybe another day would be better." "Unless you say no, I'll leave you alone to have a private conversation." " She's afraid to be left alone with me?" " I'm not afraid to be left alone." "I'll be on my beeper if you need me." " Alan had no right..." " Are you capable of telling the truth?" "I was fifteen years old." "That's a little bit older than some of the kids in your school." "Your father disappeared." "My father completely turned his back on me." "Was I breast feeding?" "My mother said I'd ruined my life." "They threw me out!" "I had a bag of clothes and 48 dollars." "I didn't know if rent was $6 or $600!" "I didn't know how to open a fucking can of soup!" "You wouldn't stop crying." "I get it." "I watched the tape." "So did millions of others." "Well, not millions." "How many people watch your show?" "Did you see on the tape that I went to my father with his grandchild in my belly, and begged him for help, and that he turned me away?" "Did you see that I never forgave him, that I didn't even go to his funeral?" "You just saw the parts that made me look bad." "I thought it was for the best!" "Like an idiot, I thought it was for the best, and then it was too late!" "Too late?" "Like if you had it to do over, it would be different?" "You'd sacrifice your fabulous life to sit there with a cranky, moody kid who got sick?" "A lot, by the way." "Sore throats, like on fire, ten a year!" "You'd sit up till six in the morning, rubbing her down with alcohol, because her fever's around 106, and that's about the time when if you miss the signs, you got a brain-damaged kid for the rest of your life?" "You'd get this girl grown up just to let her know that you didn't love her enough?" "Or the right way?" "Your mother wasn't perfect." "She told me the truth." "She did her best." "She was there." "Just say you wanted a life more than you wanted me." "I wanted a life..." "more than I wanted you." " Hello?" " Hi, it's me." "Listen, that's never gonna happen again." "I really don't think it should." " Good." " I want to help with all this." "OK." "Any thoughts on how?" " Uh..." " Wait." "Can you say that again - the part about wanting to help?" "I really want to help with all of this." "I really, really do." "Thank you." "I want that, too." " I've been scared to death." " Sorry." " I imagined you dead on the roadside." " Sorry." "I imagined you dead in the arms of a handsome stranger." "French guy, for some reason, which was an even worse image." " I mean..." " I said I'm sorry!" " What?" " What's going on?" " Nothing." " Something happen?" " No." " What are you not telling me?" "What could I not be telling you?" "Well, I don't know." "Perhaps you don't love me, you made a horrible mistake, and you want to take the whole thing back." "I do love you." "I don't wanna take the whole thing back." "Listen, some..." "I think he dropped something." "You're taking a walk?" " What about the kids?" " What do you care?" " I care." " Clearly?" " I do." " Go... home!" "Not my home - yours!" "Go!" " I don't have one without you." " That's not my problem." " What do you do on these walks?" " You don't want to know." " Yes, I do." " I say all the things I don't say to you." " All the things I spare you from." " Like what?" "Like, go to hell!" "Like, get your own children!" "And like, what's the matter with you that you don't have children anyway?" "And like, what kind of mother are you gonna be, if you can walk out on your children without a second thought?" " You know they're..." " What?" "Not your children?" "It's just possible some of this is what you wanted to say to your wife." "Oh, really, you think so?" "Do you understand I can't even take a walk?" " It must be..." " Go to hell!" "I don't have to be with you, I don't have to care for you or this godforsaken baby!" " Don't say that!" " All I have to do, is care for my children until they're old enough to do it for themselves." "I don't even have to like it, or them." "Fuck them, and fuck you!" " So, how long have you guys been dating?" " Oh, not long." "We had a date tonight and, uh, she works right down the street, so we decided to meet here." "Cool." "So, hello, hi, great to see you." " Great to see you all." " Good to see you." " Uh, and you are?" " Freddy." "Freddy." "Well, great." " Great." " Oh, God, I'm her brother!" " Great." "So... shall we?" " Yes." " And you're at..." " Ten weeks?" "Ten weeks." "Have you seen these before?" "My brother's a doctor." "Yeah, I have." "Can you tell us what we're seeing?" "Uh, just one moment, please." "Any chance we can hear that squishing sound again?" "That's the best thing I ever heard." "What's happening?" "What's happening?" "April..." "I'm not seeing a heartbeat." "Amein." "Hello." "Oh, amein." "How often is she out there?" "She comes on Fridays a lot, because she knows I'm home." "April... adopt a baby." " How could you?" " It's the same." " How would you know?" " Maybe it's better." "You don't know what it's like to be adopted." "You don't know what it's like to not be adopted!" "Right?" "What's it like?" "It was exhausting." "It was embarrassing sometimes." " Want me to bring her out some chicken?" " You can." " Why don't you?" " I would like to forgive her." "I'm tired of being so mad." "I've tried." "I can't." "Make her buy you something." " I beg your pardon?" " She's loaded." " Maybe it'll make you feel better." " That's ridiculous." "Make her buy me something." "A car." "Yours is on its last legs." "A house." "A very small house." "Make her buy something you really want but can't afford." " I'm here." " Ahh!" "Jesus fucking Christ!" " Sorry." " I mean Jesus." "Hm." "How are you?" "Sick... every day over what I did to you." "Good." "I mean, I think that's probably good." "Yeah, I guess so." "I want you to make it up to me." "This is for me, you understand, not for you, for me." "I think I will be happier in the long run if you try to make it up to me." "OK." "I want you to buy me a baby." "Oh, well, that's easy!" "I'm plugged into all kinds of adoption." "In China they're throwing them..." "No, I want you to buy me a baby that I'm going to have." "I'm almost forty, so I don't have much time." "It's very expensive." "I want you to pay for it." "After they do it, I have to lie still for two hours." "I hate lying still." "I want you to be there, find ways to help me." "Twelve days later, I take a pregnancy test." "Five hours after that, I find out." "If you make one false move, I'll never speak to you again." "If you don't, then maybe we can be in each other's lives a little." "You understand that's all that's possible right now - a little." "Can I put my pants on?" ""Hair - average."" " As opposed to?" " Thin, thick, or balding." ""Artistic ability - none."" " None?" " None." " Jesus." " Mm." ""How would you describe yourself?"" ""Hard working, intelligent, warm, caring, sexy, and contemplative."" "I'm keeping this one for me." "You need to just stick it." " Thousands of Chinese girls..." " I'm not adopting a Chinese baby." "Then bend over." " Is there anything I can do?" " No." " Are you ready?" " Mm-hm." "Do you want to pray?" "She does that." "She prays." " Want to say a little prayer or something?" " No." " I'm so sorry to interrupt." " What is the matter with you?" " Could you uh, give us a minute?" " Bernice, listen to me right now!" "I'm sorry." "Just a minute." "Just find us when you're ready." "We'll be around." "What?" " Why don't you wanna pray?" " What do you care?" "I don't!" "I don't give a shit, but you do!" "You told me that." "You pray before you eat a bowl of spaghetti!" "And now, right before you do the most important thing you'll ever do in your life, suddenly you're not interested?" "This is none of your business." "Get out of my way." "Say a prayer with me and I will." "I don't want to pray." "One stupid little prayer." "No!" "Move!" "Maybe you just don't want it badly enough." "You have no idea how badly I want it." "Then why won't you pray?" "Why?" "Because I'm not gonna hand this wish over to some... whatever it is, who's supposed to be loving, who... who..." "I had faith." "Oh." "I thought..." "God was... good." "Maybe God is..." "What?" "Difficult." "Awful." "Complicated." "Like me?" "It took the one man on earth who's right for me and I dropped him on his head." "Right." "You did." " How are we doing?" " We're done." " I'm sorry." " No problem." "Wait." "# Hear O Israel # the Lord our God" "What does that mean?" "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One." "What does that mean?" "Listen, O Israel, the God of Love and the God of Fear are one." "Well." "Hello." "Thank you for seeing me." "You're standing between me and my front door, so, it's literally the least I could do." "I heard what happened." "I'm sorry I called the baby godforsaken." "It turns out she was." "I miss you." "Do you miss me?" "What do you want, April?" "I wanna look at you... for a long, long time." "What else?" "There's a chance my life may change in a few hours." "It may not, but it may... and before it does, I wanna say two things." "I know what I did to you." "To you in particular." "Like a worst nightmare kind of thing, right?" "I knew that." "Even at the time, I knew that." " What else?" " I'll do it again." "I will." "I'll hurt you again and again." "Not like that." "You'd have to leave me if I hurt you like that." "If we were together, you'd leave me if I hurt you like that again, wouldn't you?" "Yes." "Yes, I would." "Good." "But I'll hurt you in other ways." "Little ways." "I won't mean to, but I will." "And sometimes, I will mean to." "This is quite an offer you've worked up." "You'll hurt me, too, you know?" "You'll hurt me and change on me." "You might leave me after you promise you won't." "How about that?" " I wouldn't." " You might." " But I wouldn't!" " But... you might." "Yeah, I guess I might." "So?" " Oh, God!" " I know." "I'm sorry." "So?" "Just need to get that little wine glass." "That's great." "Hey, where's your dad?" "I got her." "I'll see you inside." "There is a Jewish story." "An ordinary Jewish joke." "A father was teaching his little son to be less afraid, to have more courage." ""Jump," he said, "and I'll catch you."" "And the little boy trusted him, and the little boy jumped." "And when his father caught him, he felt filled with love." "And when he didn't, he was filled with something else - something... more." "Life." "Amein."

"We're here." "Sorry we're late." "I had to tear Hank away from his lab." "It was an important experiment." "Friend Pym, I did not see you there." "I expected you to be giant." "Really?" "Why?" "Thy giant self seems more useful." "Well, actually" "Where's Stark?" "Sorry." "Sorry, everyone." "I got caught up in a meeting." "Uh, actually, I missed that meeting, too." "Anyway, thanks for coming and welcome to..." "Avengers' Mansion." "This was my" "You know, that was really rude." "Greetings, Thor Odinson." "May I offer you a drink?" "What manner of palace is this?" "This was a museum for the Maria Stark Foundation, my mother's home." "I've had it upgraded since the breakout." "I thought this could be our headquarters." "Swanky." "The mansion is run by JARVIS, my personal artificial intelligence." "Anything you need, JARVIS will provide." "Say hi, JARVIS." "Indeed." "We've got a full kitchen." "Chef on call." "Ew." "There are 12 bedrooms, maid service, laundry, room service, a theater/lounge, satellite TV and movies, every form of video entertainment on the planet." "Are you serious, Stark?" "This is what you spent a week preparing?" "Uh, no, I haven't gotten to the good stuff yet." "You're going to need these." "These ID cards are linked to the Stark entry satellite network, and will keep us in audio and video communication anywhere in the world." "They also give you full access and control of the mansion." "I can show you how it" " Oh." "You think I can't figure it out?" "I'm sure you can." "T'would be wise to treat the lady with respect." "Which lady do you mean, blondie?" "Nifty." "And voilà, the sublevels." "The mansion's got a beyond state-of-the-art science lab, space for Hank's modular labs, as well as my armory." "Wow, big pool." "Actually the pool's on the roof." "This is a full-functional hangar with two prototype high-speed aerial shuttles." "The quinjets." "Weapons, shields, and an air speed of mach 8 for those of us who can't fly." "But they can go into space, too." "Then there's the training room." "What?" "Like a gym?" "Well, kind of." "Aah!" "Aah!" "Exercise Complete." "Is that the best you've got, tin man?" "It's self-repairing." "Thanks for asking." "By the way, that was level 1 of 10." "Ooh." "And this is the assembly hall." "All the money you've thrown into this is very impressive, Tony." "We're you bored?" "Are we your new pet project?" "Why are we here?" "Oh, that's a good question." "Kind of angry, but that's okay." "JARVIS, bring up the most wanted list." "74 super-villains escaped the day of the breakout." "Graviton is being held by SHIELD." "We caught Mandrill, but we've got more work to do." "They don't trust you, these Avengers." "Once they're done using you, they'll lock you up, too." "This was your idea." "Things have changed." "I know many of these villains." "The Wrecker and his crew are formidable." "His weapon is of unearthly might." "If we do recapture them all, where do we put them?" "The Big House is destroyed." "The Vault isestroyed." "We haven't heard anything about the Cube." "I'm working with a colleague on something now." "Reed Richards has proposed a prison that actually outside this dimension." "In a place he calls the Negative Zone." "Too much talking." "We should just go get these guys." "We don't even know what caused the breakout in the first place." "What's to stop it from happening there?" "You know, maybe we should call it a day, then concentrate on beating up some bad guys tomorrow." "At least one of you knows what they're doing." "I have had enough of you, creature." "Your insults end here." "You want to go, Goldilocks?" "Let's go." "Whoa, okay." "How about instead of going, we find a way to actually get along?" "Since you two are the only ones staying at the mansion full time," "I'd appreciate it if you didn't level the place on day one." "Wow, he's gonna be fun." "This is exactly where they want you, Hulk." "This is your prison now." "Get used to it." "No." "No, don't listen to him." "Hulk, it's not me." "Tell the other Avengers." "It's not me!" "Hulk!" "You never listen to me." "I can't believe you don't think this is cool." "Wait, what?" "Oh, I do think this is cool." "The modifications I made to the A.I. are very exciting." "No, not stupid Ultron." "The Avengers." "We're super-heroes now." "I'm a scientist." "With super powers on a super-hero team." "Look, I applaud the idea, but just because Iron-Man says we're team doesn't make it so." "We're five strangers." "It takes time to form a team." "It takes trust." "I wonder where Thor slept before now." "Does he even sleep?" "The Hulk probably slept wherever he wanted to." "I'm moving into the mansion." "What?" "You have a penthouse apartment in the city." "You don't have to move" "Firemen sleep in the firehouse." "She's very excited." "I don't remember him on the schedule." "He's Nick Fury." "He wanted a meeting." "What was I supposed to do?" "Let me guess." "SHIELD needs weapons." "You want to recruit Iron-Man." "You need my help." "Not this time." "This time, I came to help you." "You see, believe it or not," "I want your little Avengers project to succeed." "Pardon me, sir." "There would appear to be something wrong." "What be thy concern, ethereal voice?" "I have no physical evidence of this, but I believe the mansion's systems are being tampered with." "I believe there's an intruder." "Come, Hulk." "Let us patrol the grounds." "The house believes we have been infiltrated." "Perhaps if we are lucky, we will find battle this night." "Listen to him mock you." "He thinks you're a monster." "He will turn on you, attack you." "I don't battle." "I smash." "And if you talk to me again, hammer face, I'll smash you." "If you wish to test your metal against an Asgardian," "I am happy to oblige." "I don't need this." "I don't need anyone." "Tell the others I quit." "Good riddance." "Incoming call from Pepper Potts." "JARVIS just told me the Hulk left." "Thor, you have to bring him back." "Why would I do that?" "Because he's our responsibility." "And with the mood he's in, he's liable to tear down this entire city." "Please, go get him." "You are to come back to Avenger's mansion with me Hulk." "Move." "T'was not a request." "Officially, SHIELD tolerates super-heroes, but just barely." "A team of super-powered vigilantes, rounding up criminals makes a lot of people uneasy." "I believe in what you're doing, Tony." "I believe the Avengers are important." "And behind the scenes, I'll do whatever I can to help you." "Wow, I almost believe you." "You'll help us when you're not trying to manipulate us." "You take the good with the bad." "Tony, we've got a big green problem." "It's your team, hero." "Deal with it." "Avengers, assemble." "Avengers assemble." "Avengers assemble." "Avengers assemble." "Hulk, stop." "Why are you doing this?" "You need to calm down." "We're not attacking you." "Well, I guess Thor is." "Hulk, Hulk, stop this." "You have to listen." "Alert, unknown energy detected." "Hulk, wait." "There's something" "Aah." "Tony, move!" "There's some kind of weird energy around the Hulk." "Thor, it's similar to what your hammer gives off." "Tis dark magic." "The Hulk has been enchanted." "I'm guessing this isn't a team trust-building exercise." "Aah!" "Get away from him." "No!" "That went well." "Is everyone" "Aah!" "The Avengers." "How unimpressive." "You had better hope someone more capable chooses to avenge you." "JARVIS?" "JARVIS, raise the shields, now." "Not possible, sir." "Armor systems are in critical condition and are losing power." "How dare you attack us, Enchantress." "Wait, wait, wait." "You know these people, Thor?" "Aye, the Enchantress and her Executioner." "They are Asgardians." "Why have you come here, Amora?" "Oh, you love Midgard so much, Thunderer, we thought we would come and see what all the fuss is about." "You have to go back." "Someone is manipulating you." "They wanted you to fight the Avengers." "You have to go back and make sure they're okay." "Everything you said was true." "I am a monster." "It's only true if you let it be." "Walk away now and it will be." "Oh, this is gonna hurt." "Aah!" "Iron Man, now might be a good time for some kind of" "Something." "Armor's leaking energy faster than I can recharge." "Unless you got some spare batteries lying around or an electrical socket" "The giant man first." "His head will make a good trophy on my wall." "Hank." "I do not fear your lightning, Odinson." "Your magic is nothing against mine." "You are not my target, witch." "Armor energy reserves at 214%." "Take them down." "Destroy them all, my creature." "No one controls the Hulk!" "Watch out!" "Aah, does somebody want to explain what that was all about?" "Old enemies from Asgard" "The Enchantress has ever found joy in causing me pain." "You have won the day, friend Hulk." "Truly thou art a warrior to be reckoned with for few can resist the Enchantress' charms." "Nothing's changed." "You all thought I was a savage monster." "You were gonna take me down." "You're no different than Ross and SHIELD." "Expect they're honest about it." "Hulk, come on, it's not like that." "I'm done." "Okay, so not the most promising day two."

"Get in here this instant." "It's all right, honey" "Come on, get get!" "What took you, sloppy girl,?" "You're taking food out of my babies mouths" "Sorry Mrs. Hammond." "I've been rushing so." "This is quite heavy" "That will be my share so there won't be any less for the children." "Well just take them and clean them up" "Well if you'd pay more attention to your chores instead of pouring over them poor books of yours." "Please, I won't do it again." "It was just so thrilling I couldn't put it down." "You darn well won't do it again" "And if I catch you reading anymore of them books of yours while you're supposed to be looking after my young'ns ...they'll feed the fire too Missy" "Well don't stand there looking deaf finish changing Megan and Peter" "Mr. Hammond and the men have been waiting well nigh an hour for their lunch, while you've been dawdling." "I enjoy babies in moderation Mrs. Hammond, but twins three times in succession is too much." "What?" "I simply couldn't live here if I hadn't any imagination." "I'll take none of your cheek Anne Shirley." "Believe you me, you'll be out on your backside if I get another word out of you." "Oh get going to the Mill before Mr. Hammond takes a whipping to you." "EAT!" "Not those God darned planks!" "What's the matter?" "Not that junk!" "you idiot." "Cut it out!" "Help!" "get down here!" "What happened Tom?" "He's been in a temper over lunch." "Screaming and swearing." "You know how he gets." "He wouldn't stop." "Someone take the wagon and go for the doctor." "He won't be needing no doctor." "Katie?" "I know you'll understand, but I hadn't all but lost myself in the beauty of the day the only beauty which is vouchsafed me." "Poor Mr. Hammond might still be with us." "There, there, Mora." "He led a good life." "You have to think about yourself and your young'ns now" "Sell the Mill and come and live with me." "And what about the girl?" "She's an home child isn't she?" "Yah" "She'll have to go back to the orphanage." "Mrs. Hammond." "You must know how much I want to be of help to you in your time of trial." "I consider it a burden I must bear." "I was daft when I took you in." "It's all you're doing." "None but yours." "I blame myself entirely Mrs. Hammond." "To have to wait an extra hour for lunch is a terrible burden on any man and I shall never overcome my grief," "but going back to an orphanage would be more than I could bear." "I beg of you Mrs. Hammond." "Please let me stay with you." "Orphan children are all the same." "Trash." "Trash." "That's right Anne Shirley." "Poor miserable trash that don't deserve no better." "Mrs. Hammond, Ma'am." "Mrs. Hammond." "I sent a reply to your letter just this morning" "I'm afraid we cannot take the girl." "We're overcrowded as it is." "But I've already had to divide my own sweet babies among my relatives, Ma'am." "She ain't my responsibility no more You have to take her." "Come here, child" "Tell me what you know about yourself." "Well, it really isn't worth telling, Mrs. Cadbury" "But if you let me tell you what I imagine about myself, you'd find it a lot more interesting" "Uh, she was, uh, twelve last March, Ma'am" "Uh, born in Halifax." "Both parents died of the fever when she was just three months." "I took her in from a neighbor last year to help out with the young'ns but she's been in and out of orphanages ever since she was a wee thing and she's not too proud for here." "And what were your parents' names?" "Walter and Bertha Shirley." "Aren't they lovely names?" "I'm proud they had such nice names." "It would be a disgrace to have a father called, well, Hezekiah." "Doesn't matter what a person's name is, as long as they behave themselves." "Well, I don't know." "I read in a book once that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but I was never able to believe it." "A rose just couldn't smell as sweet if it was a thistle or a skunk-cabbage." "I don't know where she picks up them fool ideas, but she's a bright little thing, ain't she?" "And she won't be no trouble to you, I can promise you that" "Well, this is a real Christian place you folks is running here and I sure am grateful to you for helping me out of this predicament." "Now, Mrs. Hammond, wait a minute." "Mrs. Hammond!" "We can't take her for at least another month!" "There are papers to be signed!" "Lady, I got a train to catch." "Katie, I'm glad we have each other." "It's so difficult finding a kindred spirit these days." "Anne Shirley, get undressed at once." "Have you no respect for rules and regulations." "I'm sorry, Mrs. Cadbury, but I wasn't paying attention." "You haven't been paying attention for the past six months." "Oh, I know I'll improve." "It's just that my life is perfect graveyard of buried hopes, now." "That's a sentence I read once and I say it over to comfort myself in these times that try the soul." "I've had a request for two of our girls to live with families in Prince Edward Island." "And I've decided that you will be one of them." "Oh, thank you, Mrs. Cadbury." "Thank you with all my heart." "I've no wish to reward rebelliousness, but for good of discipline it seems that I must." "Perhaps this new family of yours shatter this dream world you that you live in" "Now, get into your nightgown and go to bed." "Are you waiting for someone, Miss?" "I am, thank you." "Would you prefer to sit in the ladies' waiting room?" "No, I prefer to sit here." "There's so much more scope for the imagination." "Thank you just the same." "As you like, Miss." "Thomas!" "Isn't that Matthew Cuthbert driving that buggy?" "Appears to be." "He never goes to town this time of year, and he never wears a suit except in church." "Maybe he's going courting." "Don't be so utterly ridiculous, Thomas." "He's not going fast enough for a doctor." "Oh, my afternoon is spoiled!" "I won't have a moments peace until I know what that man is up to." "Wearing his suit." "Marilla is simply going to have to explain all this." "You, who." "Marilla." "Ah, Rachel, good morning." "And how are all the Lyndes?" "Oh, we're All right as rain, Marilla, but I was kind of worried about you when I saw your brother drive by just now." "Oh, I'm fine." "Just fine." "Appreciate the concern." "But he was in his suit and smoking his pipe." "Well, I don't mind so long as he smokes his pipe in the great outdoors and not in my kitchen." "He was in his suit." "Yes, Rachel." "Well, Matthew never goes to town this time of year." "Matthew wasn't going to town." "Oh, don't keep me in such suspense." "He was going to Bright River." "We're getting a little boy from an orphanage in Nova Scotia, and he's coming in on the afternoon train." "A boy!" "You can't be serious." "Well, you don't know anything about raising children." "Whatever put such an idea into your head?" "Well," "Matthew's getting along in years." "He's not as spry as he once was and his heart bothers him greatly." "Mrs. Spencer was up here before Christmas and said she was getting a little girl from the Hopeton Asylum in the spring." "Matthew and I gave it good consideration." "So, we sent word to her by her niece, Roberta, tell her to bring us a boy home while she was at it." "I shall be surprised atnothing after this." "Nothing" "We told her to fix us up with a little boy, eleven or twelve;" "old enough to do the chores, and young enough to be brought up properly." "You know I pride myself on speaking my mind." "And let me tell you, I think you are doing a mighty risky thing." "I wish you'd consulted me first." "Well, it was just last week, I read in the paper where a couple took a boy from an orphan asylum and he set fire to their house at night, on purpose." "Burnt them to a crisp in their beds." "Well, I won't say that I haven't had my qualms, Rachel." "But Matthew was so terrible determined and it's so seldom that he sets his mind on anything that I felt I had to give in." "And there was another case, six months ago over in New Brunswick, where an asylum child put strychnine in the well and the entire family died, in agony." "Only, it was a girl in that instance." "Well, we are not getting a girl." "Woap." "Oh, how do, Matthew?" "Hello, Angus." "Is the afternoon train due soon?" "Well, been and gone a half an hour ago" "There was a passenger dropped off for you." "She's waiting for you on the platform." "She?" "Not to worry, Matthew." "I don't think she bites." "Well, it's a boy I've come for." "Oh, she won't have any trouble explaining." "She has a tongue of her own." "I suppose you're Mr. Matthew Cuthbert." "My name is Anne Shirley." "Anne is spelled with an "e'" "I was beginning to be afraid you weren't coming for me today, so I made up my mind to climb up that big, wild cherry tree and wait for you till morning." "It would be lovely to sleep in a cherry tree all silvery in the moonshine, don't you think?" "Oh, yes it would." "I mean, no." "I mean, there's been a big mistake." "Oh, no, there's no mistake not if you're Mr. Matthew Cuthbert." "You are Mr. Matthew Cuthbert, aren't you?" "Mrs. Spencer told me to wait right here for you, and so I've done, most pleasantly I must say." "Oh, this is beautiful country you have here, Mr. Cuthbert." "I'm sorry I was late." "No, no, that's fine, thank you." "It's very light and thin, like me." "I better hold on to my bag." "If it isn't carried in a certain way, the handle falls off." "I mastered the trick of it on my journey." "It's a very old carpet bag" "Not at all the sort of luggage I imagine the Lady of Shallott would travel with, but of course hers would be suited to a horse-drawn pavilion and not a train." "Oh, I'm very glad you've come, even if it would have been nice to sleep in a wild cherry tree." "We've got a long piece to drive yet, haven't we?" "Oh, I'm glad, because I love driving." "It seems so wonderful that I'm gonna live with you and belong to you." "I've never really belonged to anyone before, and the asylum was the worst place I've lived in yet." "Mrs. Spencer said it was wicked of me to talk like that, but I don't mean to be wicked." "It's just so easy to be wicked without knowing it, isn't it?" "Am I talking too much?" "Oh, people are always telling me I do, and I can stop if I make up my mind to do it." "You can talk all you like." "I don't mind." "Oh, I know you and I are going to get along just fine, Mr. Cuthbert." "I love this place already." "I always heard that Prince Edward Island was the most beautiful place in Canada, and I used to imagine I was living here." "This is the first dream that has ever come true for me." "It's always been one of my dreams to live by the sea." "These red roads are so peculiar." "We got into the train at Charlottetown and the red roads began to flash past," "I asked Mrs. Spencer what made them red, and she said she didn't know and pity's sake not to ask her anymore questions." "Dreams don't often come true, do they Mr. Cuthbert?" "Just now, I feel pretty nearly perfectly happy." "I can't feel exactly perfectly happy because, what color would you call this?" "Red?" "Red." "That's why I can't ever be perfectly happy." "I know I'm skinny and a little freckled and my eyes are green" "I can imagine I have a beautiful rose-leaf complexion and lovely, starry violet eyes, but I cannot imagine my red hair away." "It'll be my life-long sorrow." "I read of a girl in a novel once who was divinely beautiful." "Have you ever imagined what it must be like to be divinely beautiful?" "Oh, I have often" "Which would you rather be?" "Divinely beautiful, or dazzlingly clever, or angelically good?" "Well, I don't know." "Neither do I" "I know I'll never be angelically good Mrs. Spencer says I talk so much that..." "Mr. Cuthbert." "Mr. Cuthbert, what is this place called?" "The Avenue." "Pretty, ain't it?" "Pretty doesn't seem the right word to use." "Nor beautiful either;" "it don't go far enough." "It is wonderful." "Wonderful." "They shouldn't call this lovely place, "The Avenue"!" "There's no meaning in a name like that." "They should call it, "White Way of Delight"" "It's far more glorious than I could ever have imagined." "That's Barry's pond." "Oh, no." "This is the Lake of Shining Waters." "That's its rightful name." "Do things like this ever give you a thrill, Mr. Cuthbert?" "Well, picking up them ugly white grubs in the cucumber bed." "Yes, I can see how that could be very thrilling." "Woap." "Green Gables, yonder." "I've pinched myself so many times today to make sure that this was real." "But it is real and we're nearly home." "Gid'yup!" "I'm overwhelmed." "Matthew Cuthbert, who is that?" "It's a girl." "I can see that." "Where's the boy?" "There weren't any." "Just her." "I figured we just couldn't leave her no matter what the mistake was." "You figured?" "Oh, this is a fine kettle of fish" "This is what comes of sending word, instead of going ourselves, Matthew." "You don't want me?" "You don't want me because I'm not a boy?" "Nobody ever did want me." "I might have known this was all too beautiful to be true." "Come, come, now." "Don't cry." "It is not your fault." "This is just the most tragical thing that has ever happened to me." "Well, what's your name?" "Would you please call me Cordelia?" "Call you Cordelia?" "Don't you think it's a pretty name?" "Is that your name?" "Oh, no, it's not exactly my name, though I would love to be called Cordelia." "I don't understand what you mean." "Cordelia is a perfectly elegant name." "What is your name child, and no more nonsense?" "Anne Shirley." "Plain, old, unromantic Anne Shirley." "Anne Shirley is a fine and sensible name, and hardly one to be ashamed of." "Oh, I'm not ashamed, but if you are going to call me Anne, would you please be sure to spell it with an "e"." "What difference does it make how it is spelled?" "It makes a lot of difference." "Print out "A-n-n" and it looks absolutely dreadful, but Anne with an "e" is quite distinguished" "So if you'll only call me Anne with an "e"," "I'll try and reconcile myself to not being called Cordelia." "Very well then, Anne, with an "e", how is it that you happened to be brought and not a boy?" "If I were very beautiful and had nut-brown hair, would you keep me?" "No." "We have absolutely no use for a girl." "Well, don't stand there gaping." "Come along, bring your bag." "Now that you're here," "I suppose we'll have to put you somewhere tonight." "Take off your hat." "You must be hungry." "I can't eat." "I can never eat when I'm in the depths of despair." "The depths of despair?" "Can you eat when you're that way?" "I've never been that way." "Can't you even imagine you're in the depths of despair?" "No, I can not." "To despair is to turn your back on God." "This is your room for the night." "Wash up and then come down for supper." "Yes, Miss Cuthbert." "I'm taking her straight over to that Spencer woman in the morning." "This girl has to go straight back to the asylum." "I suppose." "You suppose, don't you know it?" "She's a nice little thing, Marilla." "Seems a pity to send her back, she's so set on staying." "Matthew Cuthbert, I believe this child has bewitched you." "I can see plain is plain you want to keep her." "We could hire a boy, and she can be company for you." "I'm not suffering for company, particularly a girl who prattles on without stopping for breath." "She's no good for us." "She has to go straight back where she came from" "Well, we might be of some good to her." "Good night, Anne with an "e"." "It's difficult to say goodnight." "It's the worst night I've ever known." "Good night, just the same, child." "Goodnight." "Miss Cuthbert." "Little Jerry Buote from the Creek was around." "I told him I guess I'd hire him on for the summer." "Hurry up, child!" "Just fixing Green Gables in my memory." "In years to come I'm going to look back on Green Gables as a beautiful dream that will always haunt me." "Don't you think it's romantic" "You can think about it as you drive along." "I shall never forget your kindness, Mr. Cuthbert." "Marilla." "Marilla, dear." "You're the last person I ever expected to see today." "I'd imagine you would be getting Anne settled." "How are you Anne?" "As well as a victim of tragic circumstances can be, Mrs. Spencer." "There seems to be some queer mistake, Sarah." "We told Roberta for you to get us a boy." "Oh, Marilla, you don't say." "Oh, Roberta distinctly said that you wanted a girl." "I knew I should have gone myself." "I am dreadfully sorry, Marilla." "I suppose the asylum will take the child back." "Well, as a matter of fact," "Mrs. Blewett was up here yesterday asking me if I could get her a little girl." "She has such a large family, you know" "Ten children and another one on the way, she's simply beside herself for help." "Excuse me, Mrs. Spencer, would there happen to be any twins among them?" "She has two sets of twins." "How did you know, child?" "Twins seem to be my lot in life." "Mrs. Spencer!" "And you'll be just the girl." "And, oh, look, there's Mrs. Blewett this blessed minute." "I call this positively providential." "You, who, Mrs. Blewett." "Mrs. Blewett, Anne Shirley." "She'll be just the thing for you." "Miss Cuthbert." "Mrs. Blewett." "How old are you, girl." "Thirteen." "Ain't much to you, but you're wiry, and I don't know but the wiry ones can work the hardest." "I'll expect you to earn your keep, no mistaking that." "And I want you to act smart and be respectful." "All right, I'll take her." "My twins have been awful fractious these days and I'm terrible worn out." "Well, now, I don't know." "I feel I oughtn't make a decision until I speak to Matthew." "I'll just take her home again and talk to him." "Good afternoon, ladies." "Miss Cuthbert, did you really say it or did I only just image it?" "I haven't said anything yet, young lady, except I want to speak to Matthew." "Sending you back to the orphanage is one thing." "Handing you over to the likes of Matilda Blewett is another." "I'd rather go back to the asylum than live with her." "Two sets of twins!" "Oof." "Besides, she looks exactly like a gimlet." "You should be ashamed of yourself, speaking of a stranger that way." "Hold your tongue and don't criticize your elders." "I'll try and do anything and be anything you want, if you'll only keep me, Miss Cuthbert." "Well, aren't you going to say anything, Matthew?" "I wouldn't give a dog I liked to that Blewett woman." "It makes no sense to keep her." "But if we did keep her," "I'd expect you not to interfere with my methods." "An old maid like me may not know much about raising a child, but I know a darn sight more than a bachelor like you." "Oh, she could talk a hind leg of a mule, that's certain." "Wouldn't that be a change around here?" "Have you said your prayers?" "I never say any prayers." "What do you mean?" "Haven't you been taught to say your prayers?" "Mrs. Hammond told me that God made my hair red on purpose, and I've never cared for him since." "Well, while you are under my roof, you will say your prayers." "Why, of course, if you want me to." "How does one do it?" "Well, you kneel beside the bed." "That's the part I never really could understand." "Why must people kneel down to pray?" "If I really wanted to pray," "I'd go out into a great, big field, all alone, and I'd look up into the sky." "I'd imagine it was the dome of a great cathedral, and then I'd close my eyes and just feel the prayer." "What am I to say?" "Well, I think your old enough now to think of your own prayer." "You thank God for his blessings and then humbly ask him for the things you want." "I'll do my best." "Dear Gracious, Heavenly Father," "I thank you for everything." "As for the things I especially want, they're so numerous it would take a great deal of time to mention them all, so I'll just mention the two most important." "Please, let me stay at Green Gables." "Please, make me beautiful when I grow up." "I remain yours respectfully, Anne Shirley, with an "e"." "Did I do All right?" "Yes, if you were addressing a business letter to a catalog store." "Get into bed." "I should have said Amen instead of yours respectfully." "Do you think it will make any difference?" "I expect God will overlook it, this time." "Good night." "Good night, Miss Cuthbert." "That girl is next door to a perfect heathen." "Good morning, Miss Cuthbert." "Where's Matthew?" "He had his breakfast hours ago." "Been in the fields ever since." "Why?" "I see I'll have to be up before the break of day if I'm to say good morning to Matthew." "That is if..." "If what?" "Please, Miss Cuthbert, tell me if you're going to send me back." "I made up my mind to be patient, but just can't bear it any longer." "Well, you'll just have to bear it because I simply don't know." "I though maybe we'd put it on trial for a while, for all our sakes." "Would that suit you?" "If you think it's necessary, Miss Cuthbert." "I do." "You may not be happy with two old grumps like us." "I know I would be." "I'd be happier than even I can imagine at this present moment" "Come." "While you're eating your breakfast," "I want you to learn that." "You need a little religion in your life as bad as you need fattening up." "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name." "That is just like a line of music." "I'm glad you thought of making me learn this, Miss Cuthbert." "Well learn it, then, and hold your tongue." "Yes, ma'am." "Oh, good Lord, here comes Rachel Lynde." "Anne, take that card into the parlor, and then you come back here on your best behavior." "I don't want her knowing you're a heathen." "Good morning, Marilla." "Come in, Rachel." "I'm shocked at this horrendous mistake I've heard about." "I've gotten over the shock, myself." "Couldn't you have sent her back?" "Well, we're still considering on it." "Considering on it?" "What is there to consider?" "A boy would have been bad enough but" "This is a friend and neighbor of mine, Mrs. Rachel Lynde." "Anne Shirley." "How do you do, Mrs. Lynde?" "Well, her looks are certainly nothing to consider." "I mean she's terribly skinny and homely, Marilla." "Come over here, child." "Lawful heart!" "Her hair is as red as carrots!" "How dare you say I'm skinny and... carrots!" "You're a rude, impolite, unfeeling woman, and I hate you!" "Anne Shirley!" "How would you like to have nasty things said about you?" "How would you like to be told that you're fat, and ugly, and a sour old gossip." "Anne Shirley!" "Anne Shirley, you come back at once and apologize!" "Mark my words, Marilla." "That's the kind that puts strychnine in the well." "You shouldn't have twitted her about her looks." "Marilla Cuthbert!" "I'm not making excuses for her." "Perhaps she was never taught what was right, but you were too hard on her, Rachel." "I see I'll have to be very careful what I say from now on." "Oh, I'm not vexed, Marilla." "I'm too sorry for you to leave any room for anger in my mind." "It's obvious to me that the good sense I admire in you left you when that child walked in your door!" "Goodbye, Marilla." "Come down and see me when you can, but don't expect me to visit here again if I'm to be treated in such a fashion." "Goodbye, Rachel." "When I said trial, I had no idea you'd take me literally." "Of all the people, you would pick on Rachel Lynde." "She hadn't any right to say what she did." "Rachel is too outspoken." "But she is your elder, a stranger, and my guest, not to mention my friend," "all of them very good reasons for you to have bit your tongue." "She deserves and apology." "You will go to her and you will give it." "I can never do that." "You can punish me any way you like." "You can lock me up in a dark dungeon inhabited by snakes and toads, and feed me on bread and water." "I won't complain." "But I cannot ask Rachel Lynde to forgive me." "If you expect to remain under my roof, you will apologize to Mrs. Lynde." "Then you'll have to send me back." "Rachel Lynde deserves what she gets." "Matthew Cuthbert, don't form opinions for me." "Next you'll be saying she oughtn't be punished at all." "I'm been upstairs in this house for four years." "I guess you're leaving, then." "Oh, Matthew," "I'd rather die than apologize to Mrs. Lynde." "It's so humiliating." "Marilla is a terrible determined woman." "You don't have to be exactly sorry, you know you can just be sort of sorry." "I'm not sorry at all." "I hear Mrs. Blewett's an awful work-horse." "It'll terrible lonesome around here without you." "Couldn't you just kind of smooth it over?" "You don't want me to go, do you?" "I'd do anything for you, Matthew, if you really wanted me to." "Of course I do." "I can't let Mrs. Lynde be the cause of our parting." "I don't have to be really sorry." "I just have to remove the disgrace I brought upon Marilla's good name." "Don't tell Marilla that I said anything." "She'll say I'm interfering." "Wild horses couldn't drag it from me." "Miss Cuthbert?" "What is it?" "I'm sorry I lost my temper and said those rude things, and I'm willing to go and tell Mrs. Lynde so." "I think that's a wise decision." "I'll take you over first thing." "Now get up to bed, and don't forget to say your prayers." "Yes, ma'am." "I knew that if we left her alone, she'd come to her senses." "Hurry up, Anne." "What are you muttering about?" "I'm just imagining out what I must say to Mrs. Lynde." "Miss Cuthbert, you look so elegant!" "You don't make an important visit in kitchen clothes." "I think amethysts are lovely." "That's what I used to imagine diamonds were like, and then I saw a real diamond in a ladies" "Oh, for goodness sake, child!" "Bite your tongue, and come along." "Good morning Rachel." "Anne has something to say to you." "Mrs. Lynde," "I'm extremely sorry I behaved so terribly." "I've disgraced my good friends who've let me stay at Green Gables on trial, even though I'm not a boy." "I am wicked and ungrateful, and I deserve to be cast out forever." "What you said was true," "I am skinny and ugly, and my hair is red." "What I said about you was true too, only I shouldn't have said it." "Please, Mrs. Lynde, forgive me." "You wouldn't be so cruel as to inflict a life-long sorrow on a poor orphan." "Please." "Please, forgive me." "There, there, child, of course I forgive you." "I guess I was a bit hard." "But you mustn't mind me;" "I'm known throughout these parts as a woman who speaks her mind." "And don't worry about your hair." "I knew a girl once who had hair every bit as red as yours, but when she grew up, it darkened into a real handsome auburn." "You have given me hope, Mrs. Lynde." "I shall always think of you as a benefactress." "Marilla, what this child needs is discipline and a proper education." "The Sunday School picnic is scheduled this week for Barry's field." "I want you to take Anne so she can meet some civilized children her own age." "Her tongue appears to be hinged in the middle, but she may turn out All right." "I'm sure you're right, Rachel." "And trial or no trial, you ought to put the girl into school." "Putting you in school doesn't mean a decision." "It's just as easy to take you out as put you in." "I understand, Miss Cuthbert, but it does give a person reason to hope" "I've seen some shocking behavior from you, Anne Shirley, and it does give a person reason to doubt." "Understand?" "My temper will never get the better of me again, even though I am red-haired." "I hope not." "Good behavior in the first place is more important than theatrical apologies afterwards." "Since, I had to do it, I thought I might as well do it thoroughly." "Save your thoroughness for prayer." "And the praying that counts is the praying that's sincere." "God does not want you for a fair-weathered friend." "The only real friend I ever had was Katie Morris, and she was only my window friend." "Window friend?" "I discovered her in the window of Mrs. Thomas' bookcase, which was the only window which hadn't been smashed by her intoxicated husband." "I lived with them before the Hammonds." "I used to wish I knew the spell to step through the glass into Katie's world, which was so beautiful." "I don't think you should have window friends anymore." "My greatest wish, apart from staying at Green Gables, would be to have a bosom friend." "A what kind of friend?" "Bosom friend a really kindred spirit." "I've dreamt of meeting her all my life." "Diana Barry lives over there on Orchard Slope." "She's about your age." "Her parents are sponsoring the picnic next Sunday." "You can meet her." "Diana of the Lake of Shining Waters." "For mercy's sake child." "You set your heart too much on silly names." "What should I call you?" "May I call you Aunt Marilla?" "No." "You can call me just plain Marilla." "I don't believe in calling people names that are not their own." "You could imagine you were my aunt." "No, I could not." "Don't you ever imagine things different from they are?" "No." "Oh, Marilla, how much you miss." "How do you like them?" "I can imagine I like them." "What's the matter with them?" "They're not very pretty." "I'm not going to pamper your vanity." "These are good and sensible dresses." "This one is for Sunday, and the others you can wear to school." "I am grateful, but I'd be even more grateful if you'd made this one with puffed sleeves." "I cannot waste material on ridiculous looking frills and furbelows." "Plain and sensible is best." "I've always dreamed of going to a picnic in puffed sleeves." "I'd rather look ridiculous with everyone else than plain and sensible all by myself." "Trust you for that." "Have you seen my amethyst brooch?" "Yes" "Did you touch it?" "I pinned it on yesterday, just to see what it looked like." "You had no business to meddle with my brooch." "Where did you put it?" "Back on the pin cushion." "Honestly, Marilla, I didn't mean to meddle, and I promise I'll never do it again." "That's the one good thing about me;" "I never do the same wrong thing twice." "The brooch is gone and you were the last one to handle it." "Did you take it out and lose it?" "I didn't." "Anne Shirley, you are telling me a falsehood." "Go to your room." "And you will stay in your room until you confess, even if it takes a month of Sundays." "If you let me out for the picnic." "I'll stay in my room as long as you like, I just have to go to the picnic." "You are not going to the picnic or anywhere else until you tell me the truth." "If I don't go to the picnic, how will I ever make a bosom friend, or any friend at all?" "That brooch meant a great deal to me, more than any picnic." "Now go to your room." "I've looked in every crack and cranny." "You might as well face it, Matthew." "She's taken that brooch and lied about it." "I feel worse about that than about the brooch." "Are you sure it didn't fall behind the bureau?" "I moved the bureau." "I even checked the cracks in the floor." "I know how you feel, Matthew, and in my heart I was prepared to let you have your way, but" "now I realize that I was right not to be too hasty." "We can't keep her, liar and a thief, Matthew, and you know it." "Marilla, I'm ready to confess." "What have you to say for yourself?" "I took the brooch because I was too overcome with irresistible temptation." "I was imagining I was Lady Cordelia Fitzgerald, and I just had to wear the brooch over the footbridge of the Lake of Shining Waters, with the wind blowing my auburn hair over to Camelot." "I thought I could put it back before you came home, but as I leaned over to look at my reflection in the lake, it slipped from my fingers and sank beneath the rippling waves." "The best I can do at confessing." "Now may I go to the picnic?" "No." "I realize the importance of the brooch, Marilla." "Was it a keepsake from a tragic romance?" "You did say I could go if I confessed." "What you can do is pack your bags and start imagining your life with Mrs. Blewett." "Rachel Lynde was right." "I can't imagine how I let that child worm her way into my affections." "I'm furious at myself for having let this happen." "Marilla!" "What ever made you say that you took it and lost it?" "You said you'd keep me in my room until I confessed." "I just thought up a good confession and made it as interesting as I could." "But it was still a lie." "You wouldn't believe the truth." "You do beat all, child." "But, I'll forgive you if you'll forgive me." "Now, you get dressed for service." "Hello, Miss Cuthbert." "Good afternoon, Mr. Barry" "I'd like you to meet Anne Shirley." " Hello" "How do you do, Mr. Barry?" "You should meet my daughter, Diana." "She's over there in the garden." "For pity's sake, calm down, Anne." "And don't make any of your vibrant speeches." "Goodness knows what Rachel has told them already about you" "Oh, you'd be excited too, if you were going to eat ice-cream for the first time in your life." "Ah, Marilla." "Anne." "Rachel." "Rev. Allan." "Mrs. Allan." "This is the orphan girl that the Cuthberts are looking after." "Anne Shirley, this is the Reverend and Mrs. Allan." "How are you, Anne?" "Well in body, although considerably ruffled in spirit, thank you." "There wasn't anything shocking in that, was there, Marilla?" "We must try our best to relieve your jitters." "Won't you and Anne join us for tea, Miss Cuthbert?" "I've been counting on you coming to Green Gables, now that you've moved into the manse" "I've given Elizabeth tremendous reports about your home baking, and your red current wine, Miss Cuthbert." "She is anxious to learn your secrets." "Marilla, I'm so pleased you could come." "This must be the Anne we've heard so much about." "This is my Diana." "Perhaps Anne would like some ice-cream and lemonade, Diana." "I think she's enchanting." "Will you keep her, then, Marilla?" "Well, if she can avoid catastrophe two days in a row," "I might have a chance to make up my mind." "Marilla has given me strict instructions not to talk a head off." "I do have a habit of chattering on so." "Why, if I could imagine myself as a bird, a magpie would probably be the closest thing I could resemble." "Oh, Diana," "I've always dreamed of being in a three-legged race at a picnic." "Would you do me the honor of being my partner?" "But there aren't any other girls in it." "You're a sturdy looking girl, and I'm fast." "I know we'd stand a good chance." "I guess so." " Come on!" "Hey, Diana, who's your friend?" "Anne Shirley." "On your marks." "Get set." "I never expected a daughter of mine to outrun the boys." "I'm very proud of you, Diana." "I think we're heroic winners, Diana." "Don't you?" "I think it's a shame that Gilbert had to lose on a count of Moody." "Don't you think Gilbert's handsome?" "He is handsome." "But I think your Gilbert is awfully bold to wink at a strange girl." "I wish he'd wink at me." "He's sixteen, but he's in our class." "His father's been ill and he's been away for two years." "Good." "I mean, I don't want to be the only one who's behind in school." "That's Mr. Phillips, our school teacher." "He's dead-gone on Prissy Andrews, and Prissy thinks she's queen bee just because she's studying her entrance to Queens." "He moons over her something terrible." "That's Josie Pie, and she moons over Gilbert." "Oh, Josie just want attention." "I hope she nearly drowns." "I wish it had me." "It would be such a romantic experience nearly to drown." "I heard before that you're kind of a strange girl, Anne Shirley, but I have a feeling we're going to get along really well." "What is your name?" "Anne Shirley." "Anne's spelled with an "e"." "We pride ourselves on our scholastic record." "And we hope you will strive to meet our standards." "Oh, I'm sure I will, Mr. Phillips." "I've taught children younger than myself to read before, and both my parents were teachers." "I'm positive we'll have a lot in common." "You will share a seat with Diana Barry." "Oh, thank you, Mr. Phillips." "Diana Barry is my bosom friend." "Please take your seat and read your lesson." "I must work with my Queens student now." "All right class." "Take out your notebooks." "Memorize the dictation from yesterday." "Hey, Carrots." "Carrots!" "How dare you!" "Anne Shirley!" "What is the meaning of this?" "It was my fault, Sir." "I was teasing her." "Stand at the blackboard for the rest of the day." "I will not tolerate this kind of indignant temperament in my class." "Ann Shirley has a very bad temper" "And she will learn to control it." "You will write this one hundred times before leaving today." "Anne, wait!" "I'm sorry for teasing you about your hair." "Don't be mad at me for keeps." "Oh, Anne, how could you?" "Gilbert always makes fun of the girls." "He calls me crow-head all the time, but I've never heard him apologize before." "There's a world of difference between being called crow-head and being called carrots." "I shall never forgive Gilbert Blythe." "The iron has entered my soul, Diana." "My mind is made up; my red hair is a curse." "Anne Shirley, I've heard all about it." "Now you open your door at once!" "Please go away, Marilla." "I'm in the depths of despair." "Oh, fiddlesticks." "Now, you open this door at once!" "Are you sick?" "Go away." "Don't look at me." "Oh, don't play innocent with me." "I'm so ashamed I don't know where to begin." "What do you mean by breaking your slate over some boy's head?" "He called me Carrots." "I don't care what he called you." "You have no reason to lose your temper." "Anne Shirley," "what have you done to your hair?" "Marilla, I thought nothing could be as bad as red hair." "Green is ten times worse." "You don't know how utterly wretched I am." "I little know how you got into this fix, but I demand that you tell me." "I dyed it." "Dyed it?" "For mercy's sake, child." "But he positively assured me it'd turn my hair a beautiful raven black." "Who did?" "Who are you talking about?" "The peddler we met on the road today" "I absolutely forbid you to" "What's the use?" "Well, I hope that this has opened your eyes to see where your vanity has taken you." "What shall I do?" "I'll never be able to live this down." "I can't face him again." "Gilbert Blythe had no right to call me carrots." "You really smashed your slate over that boy's head?" "Yes." "Hard?" "Very hard, I'm afraid." "I know I should be angry." "I should be furious." "What a way to behave your first day at school!" "But, it you promise me nothing of the sort will happen again," "I won't say another word about it." "You're not going to send me back?" "I've come to a decision." "Trial is over." "You will stay at Green Gables." "Marilla!" "I think you may be a kindred spirit after all." "I shall never, ever look at myself again." "Well, you're our girl now, and the prettiest one this side of Halifax." "All right, now." "Stop this nonsense." "Some girls in books lose their hair in fevers or sell it for money for some good deed." "I'm sure I wouldn't have minded losing my hair like that." "There's nothing comforting in having your hair cut off because you dyed it." "This is the very last of the Queen Anne's Lace for the summer." "Don't worry about your hair." "No one even notices it anymore." "Every time I look at myself I do penance by saying how ugly I am." "I don't even try to imagine it away." "Diana, aren't you supposed to be studying?" "I know, but I had to talk to you right away." "That's why I used the white flags." "Well?" "Just let me catch my breath." "Mother thought I was upstairs studying, but I was in the pantry getting some cookies, and I overheard her talking with Mrs. Blair." "They were talking about what happened with you and Gilbert Blythe, and mother said you have a disposition just like Marilla's." "She said something about Marilla having been betrothed once, many years ago, but because of a quarrel she never married, and she's had to live with her brother ever since." "So that's it!" "What?" "Poor Marilla's been thwarted in love." "It must have been a supremely tragic romance." "Did they say anything else?" "No, but I'll keep my ears open." "I have to go, now." "Mother doesn't know I'm gone." "Good luck on the exam tomorrow." "You, too." "I hope you stand first." "I am indebted to you for life." "All right, class." "Times up" "Place your pencils beside your papers." "I'll collect your papers once everyone has left." "However, before everyone leaves for lunch," "I would like to announce the mathematics half-term results." "The three best standings are as follows:" "first, Gilbert Blythe second, Anne Shirley" "third, Prissy Andrews." "I think Miss Andrews has shown excellent progress under my tutelage." "Class dismissed." "He's only smiling to congratulate you, Anne." "I think he was trying to rub it in." "Let's take the shortcut through the pasture, Anne." "We'll be late." "Don't be afraid of the bullies, Diana." "We'll be completely civilized and take the road" "I have no intention of arriving out of breath for our examination." "Charlie Sloan, you measly little boy, you ought to be horse-whipped!" "This will be the last time I catch you little trouble makers in my pasture." "These fields are not a free-for-all!" "You frighten my cattle to death and they won't be milked." "I've never even set a toenail in your pasture before, Mr. Sadler." "I was really attempting to avenge my bosom friend, Diana, from being tortured." "Your cattle are such mournful-looking creatures, you can't know how utterly wretched I feel to have you think I'd frighten them." "You'll feel wretched All right, missy, if I ever catch any of you on my land again!" "Now, hop to it before I tan your backside!" "I intend to put a stop to this, for once and for all." "I don't know what education on this Island is coming to, Phillips." "You are the worst teacher this school has ever had." "The order you keep is scandalous!" "You're worth half of what they pay you." "And I know for a fact that you would never have gotten this post if your uncle wasn't on the board of trustees." "I suggest, if you value your job at all, you'll discipline your students a little better, and keep them out of trouble" "and out of my fields." "But, Sir." " Good day, to you." "Since you seem to be so fond of the boys' company, we shall indulge your taste for it this afternoon." "Take a seat over there, next to Gilbert Blythe." "Did you hear what I said?" "Yes, Sir." "I didn't suppose you really meant it." "I assure you I did." "Obey me at once." "All right, let's begin the spelling bee." "Miss Andrews, can you give us the spelling of the word chrysanthemum?" "C- h-i, no r- i" " s" " a -n-s-m" " u-m." "Perhaps we'll turn our attention to your spelling now that you mathematics is well in hand." "Gilbert, chrysanthemum." "Chrysanthemum." "C- h-r-y" " s-a-n-t-h-a" " m-u-m" "Anne?" "Chrysanthemum." "C- h-r-y-s-a-n-t-h" " e" " m-u-m." "Correct." "Hey, Anne!" "How do you spell freckles?" "Hey, Josie!" "How do you spell ugly?" "Congratulations on the spelling test, Anne" "Oh, well at least you're acknowledging me now." "That's an improvement." "It is impolite to pass a person without at least nodding, and so I nod out of elementary good breeding, nothing more." "Oh, why don't you get off your high horse?" "Thank you for your heartfelt congratulations, Mr. Blythe." "But allow me to inform you that next time I shall be first in every subject." "Anne!" "You've got more nerve than a fox in a hen house." "I don't see any need in being civil to someone who chooses to associate with the likes of Josie Pye." "You're just jealous." "I am not." "You take that back, Diana Barry!" "She's jealous of you." "Gilbert told Charlie Sloan that you're the smartest girl in school, right in front of Josie." "He did?" "He told Charlie that being smart was better than being good-looking." "I might have known he meant to insult me." "No, he didn't." "It isn't better." "I'd much rather be pretty than smart." "But at least I don't have to cheat like Josie does." "She doesn't have to cheat;" "she just does it because she's a Pye." "First, I'm pleased to announce" "That Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe have tied for first place honors in the term finals." "And now, the sad news" "I'm leaving Avonlea." "I shall not be with you in the fall to guide your progress to even greater heights of scholastic achievement." "Let us not have tears partings are a natural part of life." "To ease the pain of this news, I have glad tidings." "We shall adjourn early this afternoon, make our way to the Spurgeon farm, where Moody's parents have consented to host a celebration in honor of my departure." "Nobody told me." "Bye." "Father told mother that Mr. Sadler was going to get rid of Mr. Phillips, no matter what." "And apparently the trustees are forcing him to leave because of Prissy." "I can't help feeling sorry for him, even though he did spell my name without an "e"." "I wouldn't feel too sorry for him." "He's got a position as a private tutor over in Charlottetown." "I suppose some people consider it an accomplishment to walk a little picket fence, Diana." "I knew of a girl in Marysville who could walk the ridgepole of a roof." "I don't believe it." "You sure couldn't, little miss bookworm." "Oh, couldn't I?" "It's a little risky, don't you think, Anne?" "Is it indeed, Mr. Blythe?" "I dare you!" "I dare you to walk the ridgepole of Moody's kitchen roof." "Don't do it, Anne!" "Never mind her; it's not a fair dare." "I shall walk that ridgepole or perish." "Oh, Anne!" "Oh, Anne!" "Oh, are you killed?" "Just say one word and tell me know if you're killed!" "No, but I think I've been rendered unconscious." "Thank you, Mr. Blythe." "Anne, I'll call a carriage and help you home." "That won't be necessary." "I'm quite capable of getting there on my own." "I'm going your way." "At least let me give you a hand." "Thank you, Mr. Blythe, but I am going in the opposite direction." "Come along, Diana." "Anne, you should have let him help you." "You're in no condition to walk home." "Of course you would take the long route when you've sprained your ankle." "I wouldn't think of giving Gilbert Blythe the satisfaction of helping me!" "Why don't we cut through here?" "It's much shorter." "But you told me this forest was haunted." "I don't think it's haunted in daylight." "That doesn't matter it's always dark in the forest." "Don't be afraid, Diana." "What kind of ghosts would you say live in here?" "I'm not sure there are any." "I only imagined it was haunted because it seemed so romantic at the time." "What is it?" "Did you see a ghost?" "My foot caught on something." "Charlie Sloan said that his grandmother saw his grandfather driving the cows home last year." "So?" "His grandfather died two years ago." "There's supposed to be a white lady who walked along the riverbank by Mr. Hammond's sawmill, wringing her hands and wailing." "The men never actually saw her." "Oh, Anne, don't." "Perhaps she is now accompanied by Mr. Hammond who is looking for his lunch." "No, I shouldn't have said that." "He may follow me here." "Oh, I'm scared." "So am I" "Deliciously scared." "Mrs. Hammond said she once felt the ghost of a murdered child creep up behind her and lay its icy fingers on her hand." "Charlie's grandmother is a very religious woman, and I don't think she would lie." "Do you think there may be ghosts living in there?" "It's All right, Diana." "Stop it, Diana, and help me out!" "Why did we ever come in here, Anne?" "Are you All right?" "I twisted my other ankle." "What are we going to do?" "You mustn't be afraid, Diana." "I'll be All right here." "Run home, find your father, and ask if he'll come back and get me." "You'll get carried off by ghosts." "I'd never forgive myself." "Be brave, Diana." "Go." "I shall endure till your return, although I may be forced to faint if my imagination gets the better of me." "I could never feel as safe as your are, Anne." "Bye-bye." "What happened to her?" "No fear, Marilla." "She's All right." "Don't be very frightened, Marilla." "I fell of the ridgepole at Moody Spurgeon's, and then I twisted my other ankle falling into an old well." "I should have known she would have stopped for summer this way, barely the last day of school." "Marilla, look on the bright side I might have broken my neck." "And what would you have done if someone dared you to walk a ridgepole?" "I would have stayed on firm ground and let them dare away." "Oh, now, Marilla, don't be too hard on her." "I think she's doing a pretty good job being hard on herself, especially considering that she took first place in the term results." "Tied for first." "Tied for first place?" "My Anne?" "Well, John Barry, it's certain that she didn't injure her tongue." "Come on!" "You clutter up the house too much with outside things." "Don't we have enough flowers right outside our door?" "I want the house to look flowery to impress Diana when she arrives for tea." "May I use the rosebud spray tea set, Marilla?" "No." "The everyday set will be do for your company." "You may have the fruitcake and the cherry preserves, and there's a bottle of raspberry cordial on the shelf in the kitchen." "Now, tell Matthew that Mrs. Allan will drive me back, but I'll be late coming back from the Ladies Aid Society, so you must see that Matthew and Jerry's supper is laid out for them." "Good afternoon, Miss Cuthbert." "Good afternoon, Diana." "Now Anne, I trust that you will be responsible for your guest." "I'll be the perfect hostess." "Have a lovely afternoon, ladies." "May I take your parasol?" "Here, let me." "So good of you to invite me to tea this afternoon." "Please come in and make yourself comfortable." "Why thank you." "How is your mother?" "Very well, thank you." "I saw Mr. Cuthbert hauling potatoes to the Lilly Sand's boat this afternoon." "Our crop is quite good." "We were fortunate to have hired Jerry Buote to help us with the harvest." "Have you picked any apples, yet?" "Ever so many!" "Marilla has been cooking and baking endlessly." "We have enough pies and cakes and preserves to last us for years." "It isn't good manners to tell your guest what you're serving, so I won't tell you what she said we could have to drink." "Oh, raspberry cordial, right?" "Oh, that's my favorite." "You mean you've had it before?" "Lots of times." "Haven't you?" "I must admit, I've never tasted it." "But you can have as much as you like." "I have to stir up the fire." "There are so many responsibilities on a person's mind when they're housekeeping." "It's awfully nice, Anne." "Much better than Mrs. Lynde's." "She brags about hers all the time." "I'm not surprised that it's better." "Of course, Marilla is a famous cook." "It doesn't taste a bit like it." "She's trying to teach me how to cook." "But I assure you, Diana, I am a dismal failure" "There's no scope of the imagination in cooking." "You simply have to go by the rules." "Last time I made a cake, I forgot to put the flour in it." "I was thinking about the lovely joy about us, Diana." "I imagined you were desperately ill with small pox, and when everyone deserted you," "I went over to your bedside and nursed you back to life." "Then I took small pox and died." "And you planted a rosebush by my grave, and watered it with your tears." "You never ever forgot the friend of your youth, who sacrificed her life for yours." "It was such a pathetic story, and I was crying so, that I forgot to put the flour in the cake." "The cake was a dismal failure." "The flour is so essential to baking." "It bubbled all over the inside of the stove." "It was a mess." "Marilla was furious." "I don't wonder." "I'm such a trial to her." "Oh, I feel sick." "Oh, I've got to go home." "Diana, you haven't eaten yet." "A piece of cake and another glass of cordial will be just the thing." "Please, have some." "You can't be sick!" "Wake up!" "I've got to go home." "No." "Lie down." "You'll feel better." "Now tell me, where does it hurt?" "I've got to go home." "Oh." "Oh, I'm awful dizzy." "It's probably the small pox epidemic." "Don't worry, Diana;" "I'll never forsake you." "I'll nurse you back to health." "Please stay until after tea." "What the matter, Diana?" "She's drunk!" "Anne Shirley, what did you give my Diana to drink?" "Only raspberry cordial, Mrs. Barry." "Cordial, my foot!" "The girl smells like Jake Griffith's distillery." "Drunk?" "My daughter is drunk?" "And Mrs. Lynde, the chairwoman of the temperance society." "You are a wicked, wicked girl, Anne Shirley!" "It was against my better judgment to let Diana associate with an orphan, and I've been proven right." "Diana, will never see you again." "Leave our property at once!" "Drunk?" "What on earth did you give her?" "Only raspberry cordial." "She had three glasses of it, but I didn't know it would set her drunk." "You certainly have a genius for trouble." "This is current wine, can't you tell the difference?" "I've never tasted either." "Stop crying." "It wasn't your fault." "I probably put the cordial in the cellar instead of the pantry." "I'll go over and explain." "Marilla, I don't believe a word of it." "Anne Shirley is a conniving, manipulative child, and she's pulled the wool over your eyes." "I've always warned you about making that current wine, Marilla." "You said it wouldn't have the least effect on anyone." "Well, I ask you." "It isn't meant to be drunk three tumbler-fulls at a time." "And if I had a child that was so greedy," "I'd sober her up with a darn good spanking!" "Ah!" "So it's my Diana's fault, is it?" "It's the demon liquor's fault." "And as I've told you for years, if you didn't insist on making that current wine" "My current wine is famous all over the Island, Rachel Lynde, as you well know, and the Reverend Allan, himself, is not opposed to taking a bit when he comes calling." "And as for Christian virtue, making a little wine for refreshment is far less sinful than meddling in other people's affairs!" "Of all of the unreasonable, pig-headed, self-important women that I have ever met, she is the worst!" "I don't think Mrs. Barry is a well-bred woman." "I don't believe God, Himself, would entirely meet with her approval." "Anne, you mustn't say things like that, especially in front of the minister's wife." "But, if you left God out of it, you'd have it just about right." "This story will make a fine handle for all those folks who have always been down on my making current wine." "I haven't even attempted it in the past three years." "That bottle was only for sickness." "Oh, don't cry." "I don't see it as being your fault." "I'm just sorry it happened at all." "I can't describe, my heart is broken." "The stars in their courses fight against me." "Don't talk such foolishness, child." "Excuse me, Marilla!" "Your mother hasn't relented?" "I told her it wasn't your fault, and I cried and cried, but it's no use, Anne." "We can't ever be friends again." "Diana, will you promise never to forget me, no matter what other friends come into your life?" "I could never love anyone as much as I love you, Anne." "Do you really love me?" "Of course I do." "Nobody's ever loved me for as long as I can remember, except for Matthew and Marilla." "Will you swear to be my secret bosom friend?" "But isn't it wicked to swear?" "We're in enough trouble already." "Not when you're swearing a vow." "I solemnly swear to remain faithful to my bosom friend, Diana Barry, for as long as the sun and the moon shall endure." "Now you say it." "I solemnly swear to remain faithful to my bosom friend, Anne Shirley," "for as long as the sun and the moon" " Shall endure" "Shall endure." "And as long as my mother doesn't find out." "Oh, she mustn't." "I can't ever..." "I have to get back;" "she'll be suspicious." "Wilt thou give me a lock of thy jet black tresses?" "But I don't have any black dresses." "Your hair." "All right." "I have to go." "Farewell, my beloved friend." "Henceforth we must be strangers living side by side, but my heart will be ever faithful to thee." "Girls, would you join us in the classroom?" "And how about you?" "You want to join our class?" "Good morning, class." "Please, sit down." "I am your new teacher, Miss Stacey." "I want to begin by saying that I think it's most unfair that the teacher should always have to ask all the questions," "and I'm hoping that you'll be enthusiastic enough about my classes that you'll pepper me with questions." "I shall do my very best to live up to the standards you were used to under Mr. Phillips." "But, I caution you," "I am unfailingly strict about punctuality and attention in class." "However, I do believe that the best teacher serves as a guide, and I promise you that if you are willing to put yourself under my guidance," "I shall do my utmost to help you form strong ideals ideals which will be the foundation of your future lives." "I want to look back on this class as being the brightest, the most imaginative," "the most committed students on Prince Edward Island." "Please remain after class, Anne." "I'd like to have a few words with you." "I'm disappointed in you, Anne." "Reading novels during geometry class is a misuse of your time." "Moreover, it's a deception." "Can you ever forgive me, Miss Stacey?" "I promise I won't even look at Ben Hur for a whole week as penance, not even to see how the chariot race turned out." "I'm returning this to you because I Know I can trust you not to let it happen again." "Oh, Anne, you know I want to encourage you to read literature, to develop your imagination." "It's a precious gift." "But not during geometry class." "Miss Stacey, I knew you were sympathetic to the human plight the minute we met." "I understand you have a plight of your own." "Diana Barry." "We were bosom friends, but alas, her mother's refused to even let her speak with me." "Yes, I had a visit from Mrs. Barry." "I can't understand the social persecution of being an orphan." "It is a terrible injustice to be falsely accused." "Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth, Anne." "You see, it frightens them, so they put up walls to protect themselves from it." "What we must bear in mind is all these trials and tribulations that pop up in our lives, well, they serve a very useful purpose." "They build character, as long as we can hold on to the lessons we've learn from our mistakes." "Remember, we can always start everything fresh tomorrow." "That is a tremendous consolation, Miss Stacey." "Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it." "Well, there's no mistakes in it yet." "As far as the truth goes, don't lose heart." "Diana will always be your friend." "No matter what anyone accuses you of, in the end." "the truth will set you free." "The truth will set you free." "Did you bring the pudding?" "Excuse me for a minute, Marilla here's something I've got to check outside for a moment." "What do you have to check?" "Oh, that girl." "Perhaps we should have the plum pudding without the sauce." "Whatever for?" "I've never served it without the sauce." "I forgot to put the cheese cloth over it last night." "I was imagining I was a nun, on my way to the altar to take the vows" "Well, then you were lucky that the mice had sense enough to stay away from it." "Oh, goodness gracious." "Who could that be now, at this hour just before supper?" "Oh, Miss Stacy!" "Good evening, Miss Cuthbert." "Well, I was just over at the Barry's and, well, I thought I'd take the opportunity to stop by." "What has she done, now?" "I hope this kerfuffle with Diana Barry hasn't made her neglect her studies." "No." "No, no, not at all-quite the contrary." "Anne is doing simply excellent work, which is why I'm here." "I wondered, would you permit her to join a special class?" "You see, I intend to give extra classes after school for those students who intend to take the entrance exams at Queens." "The college in Charlottetown?" "Our Anne?" "She's bright and energetic, and, well, very determined" "I think that she could pass for a teacher, or even go on to the university." "Well I've, I always thought that a girl should learn to make a living it's a very insecure world." "Well, of course she can join the class, if she wants to." "Well, that is wonderful!" "Why don't you stay for supper?" "I'm just about to set the table." "Oh, no." "Oh, no." "I" " Really, I couldn't impose." "Oh, stuff and nonsense!" "You wouldn't be imposing at all, and then you can tell Anne all about it, yourself." "Well, All right." "That was a delicious diner, Miss Cuthbert." "Oh, thank you, Miss Stacy." "Anne actually made this plum pudding herself." "Oh really?" "Well, I can hardly wait to taste it." "Oh, please, do." "DON'T EAT IT, MISS STACY!" "Anne, what is wrong with you?" "A mouse drowned in the sauce, Marilla." "I was working up the courage to tell you when Miss Stacy came and..." "Anne, if you intend to go for teacher, you are going to have to give up your featherbrained ways." "You are not interested in anything but your silly daydreams and nothing else." "I really am trying to overcome my faults, Marilla." "I know I chatter on far too much." "But if you only knew how many things I want to say and don't, you'd give me some credit." "Well, I suppose in the end it was a romantic way to perish, for a mouse." "Marissa." " Thank you." "Good afternoon." "Diana." " Thank you, Miss Stacy." "You're welcome." "Aren't you going to be in the Queen's class?" "Mother says I should concentrate on learning to run a household instead of pouring over books so much." "Oh, Diana." "I feel as though you've tasted the bitterness of death." "All right class." "Let's start with the Latin verbs." "We'll move on to algebra after that." "Please open your books at page three." "Now be sure you get Matthew's meals on time, and I should be home tomorrow before supper." "Have a lovely time." "Do you think you'll meet the prime minister?" "Oh, if Rachel has anything to do with it, we'll more than meet him." "He shall be subjected to a lecture on the ills of Prince Edward Island, the country, and the world - in that order." "Be good girl." " Bye." "Mrs. Lynde says the country's going to the dogs, the way the government runs things." "Do you think that's true, Matthew?" "Rachel Lynde is a Grit." "She says, "If women were allowed to vote, we would soon see a blessed change"." "Which way do you vote, Matthew?" "I vote Conservative." "Then I'm a Conservative, too." "I'm glad 'cause Gil-, I mean, some of the boys at school are Grits." "Ruby Gillis says that when a man is courting, he always has to agree with the girl's mother in religion and her father in politics" "Ruby Gillis knows all about courting because she has three older sisters." "Did you ever go courting, Matthew?" "No, I don't knows if I have." "Never, ever, ever?" "Why ever not?" "Well, I couldn't do it without talking to a girl." "Well, I'm sure there were many broken hearts as a result." "Oh, go on." "Ruby Gillis says when she grows up, she wants to have a line of beaus on a string and make them crazy for her." "I'd rather have one in his rightful mind." "There are some things in this world that even I cannot hope to understand." "Well, I don't know if I can comprehend all of them, either." "Diana?" "My little sister's awful sick with the croup, and Mary Joe's babysitting." "She doesn't know what to do." "And we can't get word to mother and father because they're at the rally still." "Don't worry, Diana." "Matthew will get the doctor." "We're such kindred spirits, I can read his thoughts." "Dr. Blair's at the rally, too." "Oh, Anne, I'm scared." "The baby can't breathe." "Get my coat, Diana." "Stop crying, Diana." "I know exactly what to do for the croup." "Ipecac is an expectorant." "Mrs. Hammond's three sets of twins all had croup regularly, Diana, and it was me that treated them." "She's pretty bad, but I've seen worse." "Put some wood in the stove, Mary Joe, and boil some water." "I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but you might have thought of that before if you'd had any imagination." "Diana, get a fresh change of clothes, and I'll keep administering the ipecac." "I've given her the last of the ipecac." "Mary Joe, look after the water." "We'll change the muster plaster." "I gave her every last drop of ipecac, but it wasn't until she coughed up the phlegm that she really began to improve." "You must imagine my relief, doctor." "Some things cannot be expressed in words." "Would have been too late by the time I got here." "You saved this little baby's life." "I can't go to school." "I can barely keep my eyes open." "But I hate to stay at home." "Gil will get ahead and..." "Gid'yup!" "Morning." "Afternoon's more like it, Anne." "You slept the day away, though no one's ever been more entitled to it, I hear." "Did you meet the prime minister?" "What does he look like?" "Well, he certainly didn't become prime minister on account of his looks, but he's a fine speaker." "He shook my hand." "How exciting." "I can just imagine the thrill of the rally with all those people." "Mrs. Barry was over here before begging to see you." "But I wasn't about to wake you." "You're invited to dinner." "I should imagine humble pie is on the menu." "Marilla, may I go right now?" "I'm aching to see Diana." "I'm so ashamed, Anne." "You saved my baby's life." "I harbor no hard feelings toward you, Mrs. Barry." "I hope you believe me once and for all that I never meant to intoxicate Diana." "Of course I believe you, child." "I'm so sorry I ever doubted you." "Mother says you can come with us to the Christmas ball at Carmody." "And we'd be honored if you'd stay the night with Diana as well." "It's a very special occasion, and you would be our guest of honor." "You can calm down because you're not going." "For a woman so adamantly against current wine," "I'm surprised she's allowing Diana to go." "The ball is for adults, not children." "But Marilla, it's Christmas." "The minister's gonna to be there." "He's giving an address, and that's almost the same as a sermon." "You heard what I said, and you know what I meant by it." "There'll be plenty of balls when you're older." "But I was invited to spend the night." "I'm to be the guest of honor." "Ah, well, it's just an honor you'll have to forego, aye?" "Now off to bed." "This is a wound I shall bear forever." "Good night." "You'd have been proud of her presence of mind, the way she saved that Barry baby." "Why don't you let her go?" "Remember, Matthew, who we agreed would be raising her." "Mrs. Barry just wants to ease her conscience, and I'm not going to allow it." "And no amount of huffing and puffing from you, is going to change my mind." "You'd let her go to the moon, if she had the notion." "Well, I don't approve of balls." "Just fill her head with nonsense." "Fact is, Marilla, you never went to a ball." "Fact is, this whole idea's got you scared to death." "That little girl ought to have all the kindness we can give her." "We've got no call to raise her as cheerless as we was." "It ain't interfering to have an opinion." "Besides, it's Christmas." "You ought to let her go." "All right, you can go." "This is all Matthew's doing, though I wash my hands of it." "If you get overheated and catch pneumonia, blame Matthew." "Marilla, I dreamt last night that I arrived at the ball in puffed sleeves and everyone was overcome by my regal am" "Regal, my eye." "You're dripping dirty, greasy water all over my clean floor!" "And if I have to listen to anymore of this," "I'll just change my mind, that's what I'll do." "Well, Mr. Cuthbert, what can I do for you today?" "Well, now, uh..." "I'd like, uh..." "Have you got any, uh..." "Do you have any garden rakes?" "Well now, we don't carry garden rakes in the store in December, but I'll check upstairs." "We may have one or two in storage." "The very last one." "Oh, that's.. that's nice." "Will there be anything else, Mr. Cuthbert?" "Well, since you suggested, uh..." "I might want to look at some hayseed." "Oh, we don't carry hayseed till spring, Mr. Cuthbert." "Oh, certainly." "Of course." "That'll be 75 cents for the rake, Mr. Cuthbert." "Uh, while I'm here, uh.." "I might want to look at, uh..." "Wouldn't be too much trouble, uh..." "Yes..." "Sugar." "Sugar?" "Some sugar." "Oh, white or brown?" "Well, uh..." "What would you say?" "Well, we have some nice brown sugar in stock, Mr. Cuthbert." "How much would you like?" "Well..." "Would twenty pounds be enough?" "Yes, I'm sure twenty pounds would be enough." "That'll be $1." "I need a dress." "Puffed sleeves." "Puffed sleeves?" "For Anne." "For land's sake, Mr. Cuthbert, why didn't you say so in the first place?" "Now, you just come with me to the window." "Oh!" "It's so beautiful!" "Brown sugar, indeed." "I knew Matthew was up to some foolishness." "Marilla, look at the puffs." "They're ridiculous." "You'll have to turn sideways to get through the doors." "This can't be real." "I hope your satisfied, young lady." "I don't want you strutting around here vain as a peacock, so now you go upstairs and take that off." "I have to thank Matthew." "Twenty pounds of brown sugar." "I should have waited till Christmas, but" "I thought you might want to wear it to the ball." "Don't you like it?" "Like it?" "It's more exquisite than any dress I could ever have imagined." "Puffed sleeves." "Puffiest in the world." "You are a man of impeccable taste, Matthew." "I don't want to get your dress dirty." "Diana." "Enjoy yourselves tonight, okay?" "I'm positively certain this will spoil everyday life forever." "Three years, I'm going to wear my hair like Alice Bell." "She's only seventeen and I think she looks ridiculous." "I'm going to wait until I'm eighteen." "My, my." "Doesn't Gilbert look dashing tonight?" "Gilbert?" "I hadn't noticed him." "It's too bad you've been so awful to him He might of asked you to dance." "If I wanted him to ask me, which I don't, he certainly would." "Gilbert Blythe would stand on his head for me if I asked him to." "Ah!" "He looked right at you again, Anne!" "I bet you couldn't get him to dance with you." "All right, Diana." "If you insist." "Good evening, Mr. Blythe." "Tell your brother I'll be seeing him at the tobogganing party." "A glass of punch miss?" " Thank you." "Diana!" "You look wonderful tonight." "Merry Christmas!" "Merry Christmas to you too, Gilbert." "How could you wish that person a merry Christmas?" "I gather that person didn't ask you to dance, after all." "Well, will you give me the pleasure instead?" "Thank you." "I believe I will." "I think Gilbert took your dance card." "Such a romantic gesture would be utterly beyond his imagination." "Well then who?" "Josie Pie?" "A secret admirer, obviously." "We should get to bed before mother comes down." "She said we could sleep in the spare bedroom." "Isn't that exciting?" "All right, then." "I'll race you to see who get the warm side of the bed." "Ready?" "Get set." "Go!" "Oh!" "Merciful heavens!" "What is the meaning of this?" "Aunt Josephine." "Mother said you weren't coming until tomorrow." "Is that any reason to try to kill me in my sleep?" "Diana Barry, you are the worst behaved girl I have ever known." "Your parents will certainly hear about this outrage." "It's all my fault, ma'am." "It was my idea to race." "And we didn't know you were in here." "Honestly, we didn't." "Please don't tell mother, Aunt Jo." "We're terribly sorry" "I most certainly will tell her." "She'll want to know the reason why I changed my mind about the music lessons I was going to pay for." "You need a few lessons in behavior more than in music, young lady." "Now get out of here and let a poor old woman get some sleep." "This is really dreadful, Anne." "I've always wanted music lessons, and she's the only one in the family who's rich enough to pay for them." "I'll explain tomorrow." "Don't worry, Diana." "She'll probably leave in a big huff first thing tomorrow morning." "But I don't care." "She's only father's great-aunt never been close" "It was pretty funny, wasn't it?" "Did you see the look on her face?" "I won't have you lose your music lessons because of me." "I'll just have to have a talk with her." "Anne, don't." "She'll eat you alive." "I've had lots of practice in making apologizes before." "Just leave it to me." "All right" "What?" "Come to finish the job?" "Sorry I startled you, ma'am." "Who are you?" "Anne of Green Gables and I've come to confess." "Confess what?" "I'm not interested in the confessions of assassins who masquerade as little girls." "It was all my doing, Miss Barry." "Diana would never think of such a thing as racing to a bed and jumping on it." "She's far too lady-like, whereas I am merely an orphan who doesn't know any better." "So I think you ought to forgive Diana and let her have her music lessons back." "Oh, you do, do you?" "Yes, ma'am." "Do you have any idea what it's like to be wakened from the few hours of precious hours of sleep granted an old woman in a strange bed by two ferocious, wild girls landing on her head?" "I don't know." "I can imagine it must have been terrifying in the extreme." "And if you had any imagination you could have put yourself in our place." "I haven't been in your place for 47 years, thank you very much." "Don't you have any imagination, Miss Barry?" "My age, imagination is a threat to life." "Well, we honestly didn't know you were in there, and you scared us half to death." "You should just imagine how exciting it was going to be for me to sleep in a spare bedroom, reserved for important company such as yourself." "As it was, I had to sleep with Minnie May, and you don't know how she kicks." "Mine was the sleep of the bitterly disappointed, Miss Barry." "I was forced to lie awake all night with the knowledge that I had cost Diana her career as a world famous concert pianist." "I suppose your claim to sympathy is as valid as mine." "Do you know what I am composing here, Anne of Green Gables?" "I'm sure I don't, Miss Barry." "It's a note expressing my outrage to Diana's parents." "The trouble is I don't feel outraged anymore." "So, what do you suggest." "Perhaps if Diana apologized, which she's too frightened to do at this moment." "I have a better idea." "Suppose I reinstate her music lessons in exchange for" "you coming to visit me in Charlottetown on occasion?" "Me, Miss Barry?" "Yes, you, Anne of Green Gables." "Diana can come along as well." "You amuse me, and precious little in this world amuses me at my age." "You seem a very interesting old lady to me." "You're not an old ogre at all, are you?" "I didn't mean that." "Excuse me, Miss Barry." "I most certainly am an old ogre, and don't you let on any different." "Will you come and see me?" "Then go tell Diana she can be a concert pianist after all." "Thank you, Miss Barry." "We appreciate your making up your mind so swiftly." "Good day, Anne-girl." "You wouldn't think so to look at her, but she is definitely a kindred spirit, Diana." "Please find enclosed, two silver bagels." "One for you and one for the Anne-girl." "I want to become better acquainted with you both." "If you come to town for a visit, I will put you up in my very sparest of spare rooms." "Yours very truly, Aunt Josephine Barry." "You know, Diana, kindred spirits aren't as scarce as I used to think." "Anne, do you intend to daydream during the Charlottetown exam?" "Five minutes, class." "Well, don't worry." "In two days, it will all be over." "This is one of those rare moments when not even my imagination can solve my anxiety." "Hello, Aunt Jo." " Diana." "So, you've come to see me at last, you Anne-girl." "Mercy me." "You're both so much better looking than you used to be." "I'm sure Diana is." "My hair is still red." "Come in, come in, John." "Take the bags right upstairs." "Wipe your feet." "Aunt Jo." "You must be tired from your trip." "Nancy will prepare your bath and look after you." "I suppose you want to cram for your exam tonight." "Miss Stacy made me promise not to open a book, so I won't get the jitters." "In that case, we can have a leisurely dinner after you've freshened up." "And following your exam tomorrow, I've planned a tremendous surprise." "Nancy, tell John I will have my tea with him in the palm room." "I've never been here before." "I didn't know she was this rich." "No wonder she has so little imagination." "That's one consolation about being poor, you have to dream all this up." "I wish I could go with you and help you somehow, Anne." "Don't make me nervous." "I'm trying to imagine away this horrible, fluttery feeling around my heart." "I have faith in you." "You'll pass All right." "I'd rather not pass at all than come out somewhere in the middle." "Matthew and Marilla, Miss Stacy." "Everyone has such great hopes for me." "It would be such a disgrace if" "Gilbert came first?" "I suppose I'd settle for beating Gilbert Blythe, if I had to." "Just keep thinking about Gilbert, then." "Yes, Gilbert." "Please do not touch your papers until all the examinations have been distributed, or they will be discounted completely." "You may now begin." "Ah." "For one awful moment, I felt exactly like I did three years ago when I asked Marilla if I was to stay at Green Gables." "You had me worried there for a moment." "I could see you turning green." "Oh, but I knew you'd pull through." "Well, pass or fail, I'm going to miss you tremendously, Miss Stacy." "I want to wish you all the luck in the world, Anne Shirley." "If anyone deserves to be successful, it's you." "I'll be watching out for you, even from Halifax." "So, you really are going to leave Avonlea?" "I have my own little set of troubles." "Oh, nothing to worry about." "Remember, true friends are always together in spirit." "Thank you, Miss Stacy, for giving all of us the chance to make something of ourselves." "Someone else wants to say goodbye." "I want to remind you of something you once told me." "Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it." "I was born for city life." "And what's your opinion, Anne." "I hadn't thought seriously about it until now." "I think I would probably come to the conclusion that I'd like it for a while, but in the end," "I'd still prefer the sound of the wind and the birds across the brook more than the tinkering of crystal." "What do you think now, Anne?" "I was wrong." "I don't see how I could ever return to common life after this, Miss Barry." "Madame Selitsky had a definitive alabaster brow, Diana." "Did you see Alice Bell there, parading around like she had an alabaster brow?" "If I had Alice Bell's crooked nose, I wouldn't" "Oh no, I shouldn't have said that." "That's uncharitable." "I was comparing it to my own nose and that is vanity." "Someone complimented me on my nose long ago and" "I'm afraid I've thought about it far too much ever since." "I ought to hire you as my court jester, Anne-girl." "I wasn't meaning to be funny." "Well, I hope you both enjoyed the matinee." "Oh, immensely." "And you, Anne." "Unforgettably." "Then you must stay with me when you come back and study." "Maybe I'll come stay with you, too." "You'd both be welcome!" "I haven't has so much fun since" "Well, never mind in how long since." "I thought Marilla Cuthbert was an old fool when I'd heard that she'd adopted a little orphan girl." "But I see now which of us was the old fool." "Bye, Aunt Jo!" " Bye, girls." "Bye, Miss Barry." " Bye!" "Thank you!" "Thank you for everything!" " It was lovely having you here." "Hello there, Gil." "You're on your way home, too?" "Yes, sir." "Well, I wish we could offer you a ride." "Oh no, that's All right." "I'm meeting Moody at the station." "Anne, I wish you luck on the exam." "I hope you come in first." "You've worked hard." "Thank you, but I'm sure the first will go to you." "Well, I guess we'll see, won't we." "Ruby, you be Elaine." "You're the only one who has golden hair." "I couldn't lie there and pretend I was dead." "I'd die of fright." "Honest." "You be Elaine, Anne." "This is your idea." "A red-haired person cannot play the Lily Maid." "Tennyson would never approve." "Your complexion is just as fair as Ruby's." "And anyway, your hair's darker now than just plain old red." "Really?" "I'd say it's definitely auburn, and that's sort-of close to blonde." "Well, All right." "It isn't not authentic." "Lay the piano cover over me." "Gosh, she really looks dead." "I'm frightened." "Mrs. Lynde says that acting is a sin." "Ruby, keep quiet." "You're spoiling the effect." "Besides, this is hundreds of years before Mrs. Lynde was born." "Diana, you arrange all of this." "It's ridiculous for Elaine to be talking when she's supposed to be dead." "All right." "Jane, the flowers." "Now she's ready." "Anne, for gosh sakes, smile a little." "It says here, "Elaine lay as though she smiled. "" "That's better." "All right, ladies." "Let us send her to her watery grave." "There she weaves by night and day" "A magic web with colours gay." "She has heard a whisper say" "A curse is on her if she stay" "To look down on Camelot." "And at the closing of the day" "The broad stream bore her far away," "And as the boat-head wound along" "They heard her singing her last song," "The Lady of Shalott." "She looked so good with her hair." "Anne!" "She drowning!" "Anne's drowning!" " We have to go get some help." "Anne's drowning!" "Anne Shirley." "What in heck are you doing?" "Fishing for lake trout." "For lake trout?" "Nobody's home." "It's too late." "She's drowned and we're murderers." "Matthew." "Come on." "Well, if you must know, I was in Diana's skiff but it sprang a leak and I had to climb onto the piling or sink." "Now, if you'd be so kind as to row me to the landing." "Ah, I see." "Well, then the fact is I rescued you." "Help is on the way and I was calmly waiting for it." "You're most welcome." "I am grateful for your assistance, Mr. Blythe, even though it was not required." "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to find my friends." "They are likely overcome with fear for my life." "Well, Anne, wait." "Wait a minute." "I was just down at the post office to see if the Queens results had been printed." "Congratulations on coming first, Gilbert." "I'm sure you're very proud of your achievements." "Wait a second, you ninny." "We tied for first place." "You and I." "I figured you'd have it for sure." "We all passed, our entire class." "First of all two hundred?" "I'm sorry you had to share it with me." "I never expected to beat you." "Can't we be friends?" "This childishness has gone on long enough, don't you think?" "The fact that you rescued me unnecessarily hardly wipes out past wrongs." "Look, I'm sorry I ever said anything about your hair." "No idea how sorry." "It was so long ago." "Aren't you ever going to forgive me?" "You hurt my feelings excruciatingly." "I only said it because I, because I wanted to meet you so much." "Why did you turn your back on me at the Christmas ball?" "Anne, that was over a year ago." "It was a deliberate humiliation." "And I knew exactly what you were thinking, too, Anne Shirley." "You and Diana Barry." "Look, can we be friends now?" "Why don't you figure it out, if you're so clever." "Anne, wait a minute." "Everyone will think I've drowned." "We thought you were dead." "It was all our fault." "And Ruby's having a fit." "Oh, Anne, how did you ever escape?" "I climbed underneath the bridge and Gilbert Blythe came along and rowed me to shore." "Oh, how romantic!" "Of course you'll speak to him from now on." "Of course I will not!" "I don't ever want to hear the word "romance" again, Jane Andrews." "It's easy enough in Camelot, but it certainly isn't appreciated in Avonlea." "Oh, I'm sorry I frightened everyone so." "It was all my fault." "Well, I'm sure that John Barry will be pleased to hear that he no longer owns a dory, Anne Shirley." "Oh, you do beat all, girl." "When are you going to have any sense?" "I think my prospects are brightening." "I just saw the pass list for Queens." "For better or for worse I tied, with Gilbert Blythe, for first." "First?" " Oh, Anne." "You must be so proud." "I must say, you've done pretty well for yourself, Anne." "Well, I guess she has done well, Marilla." "Far be it from me to be backwards when praise is due." "You're a credit to us all and we're all proud of you." "Woap." "Good afternoon, Miss Cuthbert." "Good afternoon." "I'm Gilbert Blythe." "Yes." "You've grown into quite a young man." "So, you must be very proud of Anne." "It's a real challenge keeping up with her at school." "Yes, Matthew and I are both proud." "She has the talent to make something of herself." "But she's still very young, Gilbert." "Good afternoon." "Good afternoon, ma'am." "So, what are you going to recite, Anne?" "I've decided to give The Highwayman." "It's very pathetic." "Laura Spencer is giving a comic recitation, but I prefer to make people cry." "Are you nervous?" "A little bit, even though I've stood out in public so often." "But I feel very well-prepared and that helps." "Well, this organdy will look elegant under the electric lights at the White Sands Hotel." "Oh, mother tried to convince me to audition for a violin solo." "Can you imagine?" "I mean, I haven't picked up a bow in three years." "The Charlottetown hospital is a worthy cause and all, but I am not prepared to suffer humiliation for it." "We're all amateurs." "They may be very sorry they've asked any of us to do it when it's all over." "Oh, hardly the case with you, Anne." "After standing first at Queens, you can do no wrong in this community." "Someone ought to tell that to Marilla." "Well, Mr. Cuthbert is sure proud." "He plunks down his money awful quick these days for anything I tell him is pretty and fashionable." "Alice Lawson!" "You devil!" "Don't you go abusing Matthew's generosity to me." "You do have good taste though." "I'll see you at the concert." "Hello, Anne." "Whoa." "Can I offer you a ride home?" "You promised we were going to be friends." "Remember?" "Well, All right then." "It is rather awkward with all these." "It was good of you to stop." "Seems I'm developing quite a habit of getting you out of awkward situations." "I thought a lot about what happened at the bridge, Gilbert." "What I mean to say is, it was very rude of me to just run off like that." "But I was very overwrought over learning my score, our score." "I mean, I wasn't myself." "That's All right." "Life's too short to hold grudges, anyway." "It's valiant of you to say so." "You'll go far with that kind of attitude." "You know what you're going to study at Queens, Anne?" "I intend on taking my teacher's license in one year instead of two, like Miss Stacy suggested." "Gee, I was imagining you would have a career on the stage." "Well, I think you'd make a swell actress, especially as the Lily Maid." "I hear you're giving The Highwayman at the White Sands recital." "My life is an open book I see." "Who told you that?" "Well, I have a little confession to make." "I was just at the Lawson's myself and Alice told me you were walking home." "I'm going to try to get you an encore while you're up there so make sure you have a second selection ready." "No one is going to encore me." "Well, I would." "Especially if I had the honor of escorting you to the concert." "Uh, I don't know." "I promised the Barry's I'd go with them, but" "I think you're old enough to make up your own mind, Anne." "I've always been old enough to make up my own mind." "Very well then, Gilbert." "I'd be pleased to accept your invitation." "Could you let me off at the corner, please." "I'm going to take a shortcut and show Diana what I bought." "Well, say something, Matthew." "She was holding his hand." "She'd have to hold his hand if he was helping her out of the buggy." "What was she doing in that buggy?" "Nothing worth all this fussing." "She's just a child, Matthew." "She doesn't know what she's doing." "Hello everyone." "Sorry I was late." "I stopped over at Diana's and she just loves the material you chose, Matthew." "Anne Shirley, I've just been informed by a reliable source that you were seen at Avonlea crossroads in a buggy with a young man." "Marilla!" "He only offered me a ride home." "He was just being friendly." "Not according to Rachel Lynde." "Rachel Lynde?" "Yes." "Rachel Lynde saw you." "Marilla, she ain't done nothing wrong." "Matthew." "Remember, in the beginning, I told you not to put your oar in." "I'm sorry I lost my temper, Anne." "Marilla, please." "I never meant anything to come of all this." "And nothing has, as yet." "Anne, you've changed so much." "Grown so tall and so stylish." "You don't belong in Avonlea anymore." "Get lonely I just thinking about it." "You'll be going off into the world to make your way and you don't want to make any ties here that you might come to regret later." "Doesn't matter where I go or how I change, always be your Anne." "Anne of Green Gables." "I want you to give this to him." ""Dear Gilbert," "I regret that I will be unable to attend the White Sands concert with you." "Sincerely, Anne Shirley. "" "Why won't you go with him?" "Plenty of reasons why I won't go." "I only accepted in first place because he dared me." "Well, I think you owe him an explanation." "I hope you don't ruin your dress driving there in the dust." "It's far too thin for this damp weather." "I'm sorry agreed to it." "Thank you, Matthew." "Well, there's no sense in saying anything to you, Matthew, but those pearls look absolutely ridiculous." "I don't know where you get these silly ideas." "Matthew is proud of the way I look." "Anne!" "They're here." "Thank you, Marilla and Matthew." "I mustn't keep them waiting." "Now, mind you keep your dress clear of the wheel." "Good luck, Anne!" "I'll be watching for you both." "Gilbert gave me this in return for your note." "He's coming to watch you anyway." "I didn't want Jane or Gabby Brothers to see me." "...to your own opinion." "It would have been easier if you told me in person, if you still consider me your friend." "Sincerely, Gilbert Blythe." "I won't be accused of being a coward, Diana." "He doesn't understand." "Tell him I'll speak to him the first minute I can steal away tonight." "Calm down, Anne." "I'm so ashamed." "I can't go up on that stage." "I can't." "I'll be merciless if I fail." "You've never failed at anything, Anne Shirley." "Go on." "Ho!" "ho!" "the breakers roared" "At daybreak, on the bleak sea-beach, A fisherman stood aghast," "To see the form of a maiden fair," "Lashed close to a drifting mast." "The salt sea was frozen on her breast," "The salt tears in her eyes." "And he saw her hair, like the brown sea-weed" "On the billows fall and rise." "Such was the wreck of the Hesperus," "In the midnight and the snow!" "God save us all from a death like this," "On the reef of Norman's Woe!" "Mrs. Evans has just completed a European tour." "Oh, she's a prodigious talent." "I was moved beyond words." "On behalf of the Charlottetown hospital," "I would like to offer our indebtedness to Mrs. Amelia Evans for gracing us with such a stirring performance in support of today's benefit." "Thank you." "And now, ladies and gentlemen," "I would like to present one of Avonlea's most celebrated students, who achieved the highest standing in the recent entrance examinations to Queens Academy" "Miss Anne Shirley." "It will be amusing to see what arises from the local amateur actors." "The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees." "The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas." "The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor," "And the highwayman came riding." "Riding, riding," "The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door." "One kiss, my bonny sweetheart, I'm after a prize tonight," "But I shall return with the yellow gold before the morning light" "Yet, if they press me sharply, and harry me through the day," "Look for me by moonlight, Watch for me by moonlight," "I'll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way." "Back, he spurred like a madman, shouting a curse to the sky," "With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high." "Blood-red were his spurs in the golden noon wine-red was his velvet coat" "When they shot him down on the highway." "Down like a dog on the highway," "And he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat." "Encore!" "Encore!" "Dear, you were splendid." "Go back." "Go back they're encoring you." "I can't go back." " Yes, you can." "Anne, I have to admit I was so proud." "Your recitation was as magnificent as Mrs. Evans" "I saw you fawning over Anne Shirley." "Well, you sure couldn't get up there and give a recital like that." "I could be up there on stage." "Well, I'd like to see that sometime, Josie Pye ...was with the lovely titian hair." " Whatever that means." "Plain red, it's just a fancy way of saying it." "Well, he thought you were wonderful anyway." "You'll forgive me for stealing her away again, won't you?" "There are so many people waiting to meet our young Miss Shirley." "Will you excuse me?" "I don't mean to be rude, but there is someone I absolutely must speak with." "I'll return right away." "I promise." "Very well, dear." "But hurry up, I have important people waiting." "Gilbert!" "Gilbert!" "I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to him, Anne." "Blame me, if you want." "It's All right, Diana." "Some things just aren't meant to be." "Did you see all those diamonds?" "I wish I were rich and I could spend my whole summer at a hotel eating ice-cream and chicken salad." "You know something, Diana?" "We are rich." "We have sixteen years to our credit, and we both have wonderful imaginations." "We should be as happy as queens." "Look at that!" "You couldn't enjoy it's loveliness anymore if you had ropes of diamonds." "I don't know about that." "I'm content with my string of pearls." "Matthew gave them to me with as much love as ever went into any of those stuffy women's jewels." "I am happy Diana, and nothing is going to hold me back." "Hurry up, Anne." "Do you think the train is going to wait for you?" "I'll take it, Matthew." "It'll be easier if I go quickly by myself." "Getting emotional over nothing." "Nothing?" "You both mean everything to me." "All this foolishness." "You might as well kiss him, too." "All aboard!" "I'm afraid for her, Matthew." "She'll be gone so long." "She'll get terrible lonesome." "You mean, we'll get terrible lonesome." "I can't help wishing that she'd stayed a little girl." "Mrs. Spencer made a lucky mistake, I guess." "It wasn't luck, it was Providence." "He knew we needed her." "Even with her queer little ways." "I loved her for them." "I like people who make me like them." "Saves me so much forcing myself to like them." "Oh, but I'd be a much happier woman if you stayed at Beechwood with me." "There's no other place I'd rather be, Miss Barry." "I know it's impractical." "You need to be near the school." "The lady who runs this boarding house is a gentle woman of reduced circumstances." "You'll be quite safe." "Here we are, Peter." "Miss Barry said you have a creative turn of mind, so I've given you my best room, looking out over the street." "Thank you, I'm sure." "Cheer up, now." "I've had dozens of students and not lost one of them yet." "If there's anything you want, just let me know." "Thank you." "I can't cheer up." "I don't wanna cheer up." "I'd rather just be miserable." "Those of you who have elected to complete the program for the teacher's license in one year instead of two, have a difficult struggle ahead of you, but you're here because we know you're capable of doing it." "These first two weeks will be a probationary period in which you can decide whether you really want to complete the program in a single year." "In that sense, these first two weeks will be the most important you spend at Queens." "Bear that in mind." "Anne Shirley!" "You look positively ill." "Whenever your nose and eyes get red, you just seem red all over." "Tell me, how are the first year students doing?" "Our French professor is a dream." "He's the cutest mustache." "Come for lunch and I'll tell all." "I'm meeting Jane and Ruby and some others." "Thank you, but I have other business to attend to." "Gilbert won't be there, if that's what's worrying you." "Whatever do you mean?" "Gilbert Blythe is a rake, and after his insulting behavior at the White Sands concert," "I've decided to completely ignore him." "Besides, there are far more dashing young men around here anyway." "I'm amazed that Gilbert could even insult you." "Anne!" "We've been looking all over for you." " What's second year class like?" "I don't know anyone." "I wish you people had decided to go into second." "Second?" "I'll be lucky if I pass first." "I don't care if I don't pass." "My father can afford to send me back." "You know, Anne, Frank Stafford told me that the graduate that receives the highest mark in English Lit. this year wins the Avery scholarship" "$250 a year for four years." "Are you sure?" "The board of governors is announcing it tomorrow." "I'll be you for sure, Anne." "I don't know." "This is a much bigger pond we are swimming in now than in Avonlea." "Will you two goody-goodies control yourselves." "There's a lot more to do around here than keeping your nose in the book." "Come on." "So, you have been here one week and already you are planning to take an arts degree from Redmond College." "I fully intend to win that Avery scholarship if hard work can do it." "I never knew a girl with such ambition, except perhaps myself." "But my ambition was for money." "God knows I've succeeded." "I've never really considered money." "Probably just as well, though I can hardly believe I'm saying so." "Wealth can be very empty when you don't have someone to share it with." "But by the time I realized that, no one would have me except men who wanted my money more than I did." "You aren't lonely, though, are you?" "Not with you in town!" "Now tell me, have you made all kinds of interesting friends your first week here, then?" "I've a small circle of friends, but no bosom friends, mind you." "And what about young men in that circle of friends?" "I've become too practical for romance." "Like Marilla," "I shall probably end up an old maid." "Miss Barry, I didn't mean that." "It isn't all bad." "A married woman could never be as cantankerous as I am free to be." "But it's not a circumstance I'd recommend for you." "Make a little room in your plans again for romance, Anne-girl." "All the degrees and scholarships in the world can't make up for the lack of it." "May I leave this for Gilbert Blythe?" "You can take it to him yourself, miss." "He's across the hall." "Thank you." "Can't you just picture it, Gilbert" "Emily Clay, winner of the Avery scholarship?" "Don't be too sure." "Dear Marilla and Matthew," "It hardly seems possible that the term is almost over." "I've become so preoccupied with my work," "I've almost lost track of time." "But here I am with exams looming up before me, and for the time being, they are all there is in the world." "But, as Rachel Lynde used to say," "The sun will go on rising and setting, whether I fail in geometry or not." "I think I'd rather it didn't go on if I failed." "I miss you both very, very much." "Yours lovingly, with all my heart," "Anne." "She sounds unhappy." "Oh, cheer up Anne." "You have to win at least one of the awards." "I'm not sure I care anymore." "That's a fine attitude after all the work you've put in!" "I have no hope for the Avery." "Everyone has practically said that Emily Clay is getting it." "You'll probably get the gold metal, then." "Well, I'm not going to look at the bulletin board." "I'm going to go straight to the girls' dressing room." "I'll come find you then." "If I fail, just say so, Jane." "Don't break it to me gently, and don't sympathize." "Hip, hip, hurray!" "Hip, hip, hurray!" "Hurray for Gilbert Blythe, winner of the gold metal!" "Yeah!" "Three cheers for Anne Shirley, winner of the Avery!" "The Avery!" "Hip, hip, hurray!" "Hip, hip, hurray!" "Hurray for Anne Shirley, winner of the Avery!" "Yeah!" "Isn't that breath of mint delicious?" "I can't bear the thought of leaving here again." "Four long years." "I'll probably be old and gray when you do come back, Anne." "More likely married to a dashingly handsome young man and too busy with babies to be interested in your former bosom friend." "Such as who?" "Moody?" "I'll pray that someone wonderful comes to Avonlea and sweeps you off your feet." "Gilbert's getting the Avonlea school you know" "He isn't going to college?" "His father can't afford to send him so he's going to earn his way." "Did you ever explain to him?" "Some books are better left on the shelf." "I wish him luck, though." "He's a determined young man." "Then as far as you're concerned, he's fair game." "Why, Diana Barry!" "If you were interested in Gilbert Blythe, why didn't you ever say so?" "So I thought my bosom friend was in love with him." "In love with Gilbert Blythe?" "Me?" "Yes, you." "Gilbert did say that being smart was better than being pretty." "Goodnight, dear, sweet Diana." "Goodnight Anne." "Matthew!" "Matthew!" "What is it?" "I'm All right." "Please, Matthew." "You need help." "We've got to get a doctor." "I've worked hard all my life." "I'd rather just drop in the harness." "I got old, I never noticed." "If I'd been the boy you sent for, I could have spared you in so many ways." "I never wanted a boy." "I only wanted you from the first day." "Don't ever change." "I love my little girl." "I'm so proud of my little girl." "Matthew, don't." "We have stood here in silent prayer at Matthew Cuthbert's grave, and struggled, each of us, to see the meaning in his life." "But the mystery of death prevails." "All we know is that we are troubled in our hearts that this evidence of death comes to all of us." "In the end, all we know is that we loved him, and we commend his soul to Jesus." "Miss Cuthbert." "Anne." "I'm very sorry for your loss." "Thank you, Gilbert Blythe." "There, now." "Oh, dear." "It won't bring him back." "Keep your arms around me, Marilla, for a little while." "Tears don't hurt like the ache does." "I know I've been strict with you." "I don't know what I'd do if you'd never come." "But you mustn't think that I don't love you as much as Matthew did." "It's never been easy for me to say, the things from my heart, but" "you're like my own flesh and blood now." "It's not right to cry so." "God knows best." "Oh, but he was always such a kind brother to me." "We have each other now." "Yes." "Yes." "Morning, Miss Cuthbert." "And how is Green Gables holding up these days?" "Oh, pretty well." "I haven't seen you around these parts much lately." "Oh, uh, business in Carmody takes all my time, you know what I mean." "This sure is a lovely piece of countryside." "It is that." "People in Avonlea say it's the prettiest acreage on the north shore." "Matthew kept up this place impeccably." "You don't want to let it get run down at all." "Decreases the value." "Now may be a good time to consider selling if you want to get the highest value for your property." "Well, I can't deny that the thought has crossed my mind." "You could certainly retire on what I am prepared to offer you for the place." "Thank you, Mr. Sadler." "What did Mr. Sadler want?" "He once offered to buy Green Gables and he's still interested." "Buy Green Gables?" "Marilla!" "I don't know what else to do." "My eyesight is getting weaker." "Dr. Spencer says that if the headaches persist, I might lose it completely." "What if I can't run this place?" "Rachel has kindly offered to let me live with her." "But you can't sell Green Gables!" "Anne, I would go crazy if there was trouble and I was all alone here" "I'm sorry that you won't have a home to come to on your vacations." "Oh, I never thought I'd live to see the day when I would sell this place." "But, we'll survive somehow." "You won't have to stay here alone." "I'm not going to Redmond." "What do you mean?" "I'm not going to take that scholarship." "I've already decided, but I hadn't told you yet." "Mr. Barry said he'd run our fields next year, and I'm going to take the school at Carmody." "They need a teacher and I'm sure they'd be glad to have me." "I can drive back and forth until the weather gets bad, and then I'll board and come home on the weekends." "I won't let you sacrifice your education for me." "I won't allow it, Anne Shirley." "I am going to do it." "I'm sixteen years old and just as stubborn as you are." "You blessed girl." "I know I ought to stick to it and make you go to college, but I've learned better than to stand in your way." "Gilbert Blythe will be teaching, too." "Won't he?" "Yes." "What a nice looking young boy he is." "He looks a lot like his father did at that age." "We used to be real good friends, he and I." "People called him my beau." "And what happened?" "We quarreled and I wouldn't forgive him when he asked me to." "I wanted to after a while, but I was stubborn and I wanted to punish him first." "He never came back." "I, always felt rather sorry." "I, sort of wished that" "I'd forgiven him when I had a chance." "Glad to hear you've come to your senses, Anne." "Teachers course one year, and off the Redmond the next." "I don't believe in women going off to college with the men, cramming their heads full of Latin and Greek." "I'm doing my courses by correspondence, Rachel." "With all the work you have to do, teaching over at Carmody and looking after Green Gables?" "Marilla, talk some sense to the girl." "Mind your own business, for once, Rachel, and leave her alone." "Anne thrives on studying." "Well, Marilla." "She'll kill herself, that's all there's to it." "Pride goes before the fall." "Whoa." "Hello, Anne." "Taking a short-cut, Mr. Blythe?" "Miss Cuthbert said I could find you here." "Open it." "We would be prepared to agree to your proposal to engage Miss Shirley under contract for one year in the post of teacher at Avonlea Public School." "That's your post?" "I took the liberty of speaking to the trustees about an exchange." "I'll be getting Carmody and you can stay at Green Gables." "I don't know what to say." "Don't say anything." "You'd have to pay for your board." "You'll never save enough for college." "You can't" "I'll save enough." "Besides, I'm keeping up my courses by correspondence." "So am I." "Thank you, for giving up the school for me, Gilbert." "It's very good of you and I want you to know that I appreciate it." "I figure you can give me help with my work, and I'll call it a fair exchange." "Aren't you worried I'm liable to break another slate over your head?" "I'm more worried I might break one over yours," "Carrots." "I'll walk you home."

"Michael!" "Make that change." "On July 7, these five brothers will begin their summer tour of one-nighters... in Madison Square Garden." "Yes, I'm The Real Don Steele, and here's the Jackson 5." "I hope you caught these kids on The Ed Sullivan Show last night." "From the fact-is-stranger-than-fiction department:" "Michael Jackson has built a shrine to Elizabeth Taylor... in the bedroom of his Encino home." "Michael Jackson was admitted with severe burns to his scalp... as far as we know." "Michael Jackson." "The Guinness Book of World Records has listedThriller... as the biggest-selling album of all time." "Michael Jackson has become the first artist in the history of music... to generate six number-one singles off one album." "The album of course is Bad."

" Beat It, Michael Jackson." "Billie Jean, Michael Jackson." "Thriller." "Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson." "So what's up?" "Who's bad?" "So that's the way it goes down?" "Good afternoon and welcome to our studio tour." "I must ask you that no photos be taken, and please do not feed the performers." "Thank you." " Is Bubbles in my trailer?" " Yes, sir." "What is he wearing?" "He's wearing a Prince T-shirt and red sneakers." "Prince T-shirt?" "While on the tour, please do not startle the performers... as that jarring can disturb their breeding habits." "Little studio humor there." "Have you seen any famous people, Timmy?" "No, not yet, Grammy." "Can somebody get me a banana-cream pie after lunch?" "What if they're out?" " Can they make me one?" " Consider it done, MJ." " What's with all the smoke?" " Movie stuff, sir." "Look, Grammy, it's..." " Mantovani?" " No, Michael Jackson!" "Excuse me." "Land of the free." "Home of the weird." "Wonder if they caught him." " Which way did they go?" " I don't know." "Look, Biff, there he is." "Hey, buddy, how about an autograph?" "Would you autograph my tummy?" "What's the matter, you got no pen?" "Let's get him!" "Come on, buddy, just one little autograph." "Draw, you tin-horned, lily-livered, side-winding snail!" "Cut!" "You hairball!" "I'll never finish this movie!" "Who let him in?" "Isn't anybody in charge?" "Don't you know anything about show business?" "I'm sorry." "My producer is doing this to me, isn't he?" "I asked for a bad guy... and he gives me Michael Jackson." "I can't take it anymore!" "I quit!" "Peckerwood, you're going to ruin my career." "I'll show you bad." "I'm sorry." "I gotta go." "Let's get the varmint!" "I love you, Michael!" "There he goes!" "We'll wait forever to get a shot at this guy." "He's tough to shoot." "Hey, songbird!" " That's him." " I've had enough of seeing you on my set." "I think he's in there." "Wait a minute, let me get around." "I can hear him." "I hear him." "It's awful quiet in there." "He's here." "The door's opening." "Set your focus." "Stupid rabbit." " Get out of the way, rabbit!" " Get out of here." "He must be hiding." " Look over there." " Look at that bunny." "Bag that bunny." "It's him!" "Pull over, boy, and get your ticket right." "Me and my friend Spike, we were just..." "My friend, he was just..." " Spike." "He was just here..." " I need your autograph right here." " Hi, David!" " Hi, Mary Beth!" "Hi, neighbor!" "What are you stopping for?" " That star over there." " So what?" "Keep moving." "Maybe that's his lucky star." " He needs one." " Quit worrying, Katie." "Come on." "What a pal." "Hey, Zeke, over here." "Hey, let me see." " Let's get out of here!" " Katie, come on!" "Katie, come on." "It's about time you threw it to me." "Skipper, come back here." "Katie, let's go." "Come on." "Hurry up." "Come on." " Michael, where'd he go?" " He went in the woods over here." "Oh, my God!" "Look at this." "I don't like spiders." "Wait a minute." "No, Michael."

"Move!" "Let's see how cool he is now!" "Now, let's go!" "Move it!" "Split up." "Spread out, boys!" "Come on." "Hurry up." "Cover everything!" "I want reports." "I'm not hearing anything back to me." "Block off the streets." "Block them off." "Double back." "Keep moving around, you'll trap him that way." "Come on, move it, I'm not hearing any reports back here!" "Split up!" "Get your men all over!" "Block off tunnels, he's a rat." "Shoot anything that moves!" "What's that?" "Did you get him?" "I heard gunfire." "Did you get him?" "He's gotta be somewhere around here."

"I want this one messy." "Turn him into a stain on the concrete!" "Look for that little cockroach, too." "She's around here somewhere." "Give me that." "There he is." "Hold it." "He's not going anywhere." "Now there's no way out of there, don't screw it up." "Come on, let's go!" "All right, come on!" "What are you waiting for?" "It's only one guy." "All right, come on." "It's a car, that's all it is." "What are you waiting for?" "Fire!" "What's that?" "Who was that?" "What is it?" "Get him!" "Go get him!" "Get him." "Come on, get him!" " Michael?" " Katie, are you okay?" " Michael got away." " No way." "He told us to meet him here, right?" "Yeah." "This place?" "Nobody's been here for years." "It's kind of spooky." " What's wrong?" " Nothing." "I think maybe we came to the wrong place." "It says Club 30's." "Hey, you guys, something's coming." " You scare everybody!" " Shut up." " So, what'd you see?" " Come on." "This isn't good." "Hello, is anybody there?" "Hello?" "Man, are you okay?" "Come on." "Tell us what you saw." " Michael." " So?" "That's cool." " I taught him everything he knows." " Oh, yeah, right, you show me." "Okay, sure." "Hold this." "Come on!" "Give me that." "They got Katie, man." "They grabbed and took her away." " I was in there!" "I was right in there." " Lf we move too quick..." " Which way did they go?" " They went over here." " Look!" " Don't touch it!" "Oh, no." " Michael, you gotta help her." " What can he do?" "You'll see what I can do." "You'll see." "Stay back." "Is anybody up there?" "Watch your step." "Peanuts?" "Over here." "How are we gonna get to him?" "What are you doing?" "I'm trying to get a lucky star for Michael." "Why don't we go get the cops instead?" " No!" " Shut up!" "Shut it!" " Michael, help." " Shut up." "Stop crying." "Get over here." " Let her go." " Shut up." "Don't you talk to me!" "You shut up!" "Why are you doing this?" "Stop it!" "You wanna know why I'm doing this to you?" "You be quiet!" "I just wanna get everybody high, man." "You know, some good drugs." " After all..." " Do it and you're dead." "Let's give her a shot of this." "Listen, man..." "No!" "Get up!" "This isn't so smooth now, is it?" "Now, get out of here." "Where you going, brat?" "Little cockroach." "Kill her first!" " Shut up!" " Leave her alone!" "Amazing." "Fire!" "Fire!" "Bring on everything!" "You men, get him!" "Oh, no!" "Where are you, you tin-headed creep?" "Where are you?" "Hold it, I got you." "Stay there, I have something for you." "Gotcha!" "Oh, no!" "I got you, tin-head." "Okay, where's that cockroach brat?" "Okay, kiddies, I've got you." "Who's it now?" "Who is it?" " Where's he going?" " He's leaving." "Goodbye, Michael." "Thank you, Michael." "Bye." "Feels weird without him, huh?" "He saved our lives." "I'm gonna miss him." "Me, too." "I made this star to remember Michael with." "His lucky star." "Yeah." "It's is not his lucky star." "It's gone." "Not your lucky star, it's not." "I wish he would come back." "You're back!" "You came back." "You're back." "You came back." "I'm so happy to see you." "You know I had to come back, Sean." "Come on, let's go." "This is so exciting." "We're going back to the club?" " What's gonna be in here this time?" " You'll see, Zeke." "You'll like this." "Everybody get ready." " Ready?" " Yeah." "Where are we going?" " Stay together, you'll see." " What's all this stuff?" "Don't worry, I'm gonna show you something special." "Keep going." "What's that?" " I think I heard something." " You didn't hear anything." " You know something you're not telling." " It's a surprise." " Are there spiders?" " There are no spiders in here." " I wanna see some rats." " There are no rats in here." " What's down there?" " Nothing." "We're going ahead." "It's just a plug." "Yeah, you jumped back, too." "Go around this way." "Mike, where've you been?" "We have one minute." "Let's go." "Hey, kids, I think I found a friend of yours." "Hey, Skipper." " Come on with me." " Come on, Skipper." "Where have you been, MJ?"

"Hey Josh." "We each got you something to kick off the launch of your new app." "Appy-birthday!" "Get it?" "App-y instead of happy?" "I thought of it." "Do any of them happen to be a Xanax?" "I'm just kidding." "No, I'm not." "Good morning!" "What's... what's going on?" "What's happening?" ""What's happening?"" "The first new app Josh has released in a year is going live in 30 minutes." "And to distract him from this crucial moment that could make or break his career, the people that love him are giving him presents." "Oh, yeah." "I mean I know that's happening." "I meant... you know, what's happening else?" "Nothing." "What did you get him?" "I..." "I, um..." "I got him a... oh no, no... oh no..." "Ha ha, almost got me." "It's a surprise." "Guys, you didn't have to get me anything." "Good, because she obviously didn't." "Yes I did." "In fact, my gift is so amazing, and personal, and indescribable," "I'm going to stop describing it." "Open mine!" "Open mine!" "It's a top of the line bike rack!" "Elliot, you combined my two favorite things." "Bikes and racks." "Up top!" "Well, I have to admit, Elliot, I was afraid that your gift would be better." "But it's not!" "Boom." "What is... what is this?" "It's a bobblehead." "Of you!" "I had it made." "Where..." "Am I gonna put this bobblehead?" "I love it." "Oh..." "I'm so mad that my gift isn't here yet." "So you can open it... ah, oh!" "Let me check on the tracking." "Yeah... oh no." "There's a stupid snowstorm in the... snowstormy areas." "Oh!" "Oh look." "It says it's going to be here by late afternoon-ish." "Um... unrelated, can I take an early lunch?" "♪ She in the spotlight ♪" "♪ And she turned my head ♪" "♪ She run a red light ♪" "♪ 'Cause she bad like that ♪" "♪ I like that ooh baby, ooh baby, baby ♪" "Okay." "This gift has to be unique, and personal, and less than the $12 we found in the couch." "Ooh!" "How about a fedora?" "Nah, too Pharrell-y." "All right, so..." "Ooh!" "How about a vest?" "Too Elliot-y." "Okie-dokie... ooh!" "A turtleneck." "Too mime-y." "Really?" "Was Steve Jobs a mime?" "Maybe." "But wasn't he like a big huge computer guy?" "Yes, and this was his signature shirt." "A black mock turtleneck." "You really think Josh is that much of a nerd that he's gonna like a black mock turtleneck just because Steve Jobs wore one?" " Eh, probably not..." " No no no!" "It's perfect!" "How much is it?" "Ah, Fifteen dollars." "Dammit." "We don't have enough." "Well, you don't need enough when you got Li'l So So." "Ahem, eight bucks." "Take it or leave it." "Leave it." "Come on, chica." "This crappy old shirt isn't worth $15." "There's gotta be something we can do." "Add $7." "That's this many." "Please, Lilly!" "Frugal Lilly." "Miss Frugal Lilly." "Um. this is for my boss, and if I don't get him something, I could lose my job." "Okay?" "And my best friend isn't working right now, so I'm the only one working in the family." "Tell you what sweetheart, three dollars off if you join the mailing list." "Okay." "You're welcome." "Okay, the app's been live for an hour now." "How are the numbers?" "I believe the way my chief financial officer put it was, "Oh God!" "Oh God!" "Why?"" "It's over, Elliot." "It failed." "I can see you're upset." "Would you like me to..." "Come on!" "Oh, shut up." "You shut up." "(Scoffs)" "(Laughs in disbelief)" "I'm losing it." "Yeah." "You are." "Losing your edge." "Losing you talent." "You're not relevant anymore." "Enough." " (Josh exhales) - (Bobblehead Josh) Loser!" "Nope." "(Cackling)" "Not easy fitting something so big through such a small hole." "That's what he said." "I come up with a zinger like that and no one's around to hear it." "Huh?" "!" "Huh, phew!" "You would think rich people's trash would smell better." "I guess that's why they call 'em stinkin' rich." "Damn, I got to start writing this stuff down." "What the hell?" "That's the bobblehead I got for Josh." "That ungrateful son of a..." "Hm, good thing I didn't go with the puppy." "(Door opens)" "Guess what you got?" "An app that's going nowhere?" "Guess what else?" "The gift arrived that no one believed I got you!" "It's here!" "Open it, open it, open it, open it..." "Black turtleneck." "It's the same kind that Steve Jobs wore." "I got it because you remind me of him." "How am I like Steve Jobs?" "Steve Jobs was successful." "Uh..." "Well you know, he wasn't always." "He had... he had ups and downs, right?" "Of course he did." "Yeah." "You know, he had success and he had failure." "I mean that's the same thing you just said, but I see where you're going." "Wait a minute." "You got me this turtleneck to remind me that even though" "Steve Jobs had some occasional disappointments, he went on to take over the entire world of technology." "And maybe I will too." "Yeah." "It's like you read my card." "So was I right about the gift?" "Yes!" "And I gave it to him at the perfect time." "Right when his app was failing." "Oh no." "His app is fail..." "So you want to know the best part?" "He loved it." "It gave him hope." "And isn't that what gift giving is all about?" "(Knocking)" "Lilly!" "From Frugal Lilly's!" "Great memory, you met me two hours ago." "I need the turtleneck back." "I'm sorry, Lilly, the shirt's not for sale." "Well, make it for sale." "Turns out it belonged to the actual Steve Jobs." "What?" "Seriously?" "Yeah, the maid brought it in accidentally and the family wants it back." "Oh, really?" "Well, then Li'l So So better get her galoshes 'cause that family's about to make it rain!" "Lilly, listen, my boss is in love with it and he's... he was in a really bad place." "So I'm sorry, but no amount of money could make me take it away from him." " How about $25,000?" " We'll have it for you within the hour." "Okay, I'm gonna swap out the mock turtleneck for this mock-mock turtleneck, all right?" "You stay down here and make sure Josh doesn't come out of his office." "Okay?" "And make sure he doesn't come upstairs." "Girl, please." "You think Li'l So So was born yesterday?" "The game don't run me, I run the..." " Hey, Sof!" " Josh!" "Turtleneck!" "Josh turtleneck!" "Not just any turtleneck." "This is my lucky turtleneck." "Gabi got this for me and bam!" "My app sales have skyrocketed." " This shirt is a winner." " Ah-ha..." "Josh!" "You're wearing the turtleneck that I got you." "That's why it's not in your bedroom..." "I would imagine." "This shirt has changed my life." "Hear that, Gabi?" "Isn't that fantastic?" "I'm never taking it off." "Never!" "Never?" "I mean Josh, what about, ah... what about when you go to sleep?" "No." "Well, what about..." "what about on Halloween?" " I'll go as Steve Jobs." " Dammit." "Well, what about when you go on a bike ride?" "Gabi, of course I'm going to take it off if I go on a bike ride." "I'm not going to get it sweaty." "You know, you're all wound up." "I think you need to go on a bike ride." "Uh-huh." "Sofia, he's tight." " Feel him." "He's very tight." " Ooh, ooh..." "Ooh, he is tight." "Guys, today is my launch day." "All I want to do is sit at my computer and see how many people download my app while wearing my lucky magic turtleneck." "Mm!" "Looks like someone loves the gift Gabi got them." "Unlike my bobblehead, which I didn't see in your office." "Oh, well... um, yeah... ah... that's 'cause I moved it." "Oh, thank God." "You know, I was scared that you didn't like it." "My ex Coleman once threw out a gift that I gave him and I..." "I was crushed." "I remember it to this day." "Oh." "Yolanda..." "I'd never throw your gift away." "Good." "So, where is it?" "Um..." "I had a messenger pick it up and they took it to my corporate office downtown so all the people there could see it." "Oh, I am so flattered!" "You know, I would love to see the people enjoying it." "How 'bout we go to your corporate office right now?" "Ah, you know, I'd love to but I'm..." " Going on a bike ride." " Going on a bike ride." "Josh, why did you want me to meet you in here?" "Oh, I see." "Let me catch up." "Knock it off!" "It's cool with Alan, you're one of my free passes." "Elliot!" "No." "Look, I need you to get Yolanda's gift back." "From the trash." "You threw her gift away?" "I had to!" "That thing was freaking me out." "Who cares why?" "You like mine better!" "Are you going to help me, Elliot?" "Absolutely." "I'll push on the little pedal-y thing and you'll reach in and grab it." "No, not this trash." "I threw it down the building's trash chute." "No." "I'm not going down there." "I'll give you a thousand dollars." "No, I'm still not going down there." "$2,000." "The higher the amount, the funnier it gets." "Fine." "I'll pay for your wedding." "My Hawaiian wedding on a yacht with Celine Dion singing the love song from "Titanic?"" "Done!" "I'm the queen of the world!" "All right guys, see you in a bit." "Uh..." "Hmm..." "Is, ah..." "Is the bike ride really a good idea with the turtleneck wrapped around your waist?" "Uh... she's right, Josh." "You know, it could get caught in a spoke or blow in the wind." "Yeah, yeah." "Well, you know, it is the windy city, after all." "That's Chicago." "But you guys might be right." "I don't want anything to happen to it." "Here." "Don't take your eyes off it." "I won't." "You know what?" "I can't do it." " I need my turtleneck back." " Oh, ooh..." "Okay." "Tie it around my neck." "Like a cape." "Didn't think of that one, did you Gabi?" "Nope Josh." "You've found a way to make turtlenecks even cooler." "Yes." "Yes I did." "We did it!" "The ol' switcheroo." "Now all we got to do is wait for him to get in the elevator." "$25,000 one... (Both) $25,000 two... $25,000 three..." "Let's go!" "(Both singing) ♪ $25,000 ♪" "♪ $25,000 ♪" "♪ $25... ♪ Josh!" "Can't go on a bike ride without my bike." "No sir, you cannot." "You go get that bike." "Oh my God, that was so close." "Okay, let's hurry." "Let's get to Lilly's." "Where's the shirt?" "Um... (Sofia) Nooo!" "Okay, I'm just going to say this one more time." "This is the dumbest thing you've ever done." "Okay, who's dumber?" "The dummy?" "Or the dummy that threw the shirt to the dummy?" "Okay." "Let's just get it and get out of here." "Okay." "(Both) Go get it!" "(Both) Me?" "Fine, we'll both go." "Aw!" "Ugh!" "Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew..." "Yeah okay, we're not even in there yet, princess." "Ugh-ha, ha!" "Ugh!" "What if there's a rat in here?" " (Gabi and Sofia scream)" " What are you two doing here?" "Did Josh send you to look for the bobblehead?" "Well too bad, it's mine!" "We're not looking for a bobblehead." "We're looking for..." "What?" "What?" "Is there something on me?" "(Both) Yes!" "Where?" "Where is it?" "Where is it?" "On your head..." "Ah!" "Oh, Elliot found it!" "Elliot, thank you for finding the bobblehead." "Okay, now I need you to take it to my downtown office so tomorrow when Yolanda goes..." "What do you mean you didn't find it?" "I just put it in the cupboard." "Ah!" "I'll call you back." "Okay, breathe." "It's a bobblehead." "Logical explanation for all of this." "Did I scare you, baby?" "Sorry, I was just taking out the trash." "You know, the place where you throw things out you don't want, like eggshells, dirty paper towels, heartfelt gifts..." "Like a one of a kind made-to-order bobblehead?" " So you know?" " Yes, I know." "I found it in the trash." "Oh, you found it." "Thank God." "So you were the one moving it around?" "'Course I was." "You don't think it walked over there by itself, did you?" "(Laughing)" "No." "An-and... and you were the one doing the voice?" " No." "What voice?" " Nothing!" "Yolanda, I know I shouldn't have thrown it away but my launch day was making me crazy and staring at my own head just bobbling around judging me," "I overreacted." "I guess I understand, Josh." "I mean, it it is a little creepy looking." " The doll, not your head." " Oh." "Nice head." "Seriously, I felt so bad." "I have Elliot in the dumpster right now looking for it." " Oh." "Eh-eh..." " Gonna tell him to get out." "You really want to make this up to me?" "You know I do." "Hold off on that phone call." "Come on, Elliot." "Just give us the shirt." "I would, except no." "Something smells funny, and it's not just the wood shavings from that hamster cage that's filling my loafer." "Why would two girls crawl through filth for an ugly polyblend shirt?" "Exactly." "It's just a worthless shirt." "Oh, so then you won't mind if I use this shirt to wipe up this unidentified sludge that you better hope to God is Greek yogurt." "(Both) No, no, no, no!" "Elliot, it doesn't matter why we want the shirt." "Okay?" "Just give it to us!" "Here's how this is gonna go down." "You find my bobblehead," "I give you this hideous shirt and we all walk out of here winners." "A Pro Wong's take out?" "Well, that's the end of our trash, but here's a little something compliments of Miss Finkel and her twelve cats." " Oh!" " Whoa!" "(Screaming and crying)" "Elliot, it's not here!" "Keep looking." "Leave no adult diaper unturned." "No, no, no!" "Stop it!" "Stop!" "I just thought of another way to do this." " Get him!" " (Elliot) Ah!" "Yolanda!" "You're right." "That is rude." "Elliot likes cream with his coffee." "I think he's had enough." "Throw him a bone." "I did better than that." "I threw a whole chicken!" "All right." "It's two against one!" "How are you so strong?" "Do you know how many Barney's warehouse sales" "I've been to, bitches?" "(Chute rattles)" "Incoming!" "No!" "Oh!" "Oh my God!" "It's the bobblehead!" "Here's your shirt, bitches!" "I just took a second shower and I still smell like hot and sour soup." "Third one's the charm." "No, it's not." "We were so close to being rich." "I know." "I had big plans for that money." "I was going to pay off my student loans while lying on a beach in Cabo." "Yeah, well we're not going to Cabo." "You want to know why?" "Because you have terrible, terrible instincts?" "No, because we were greedy." "We never should have taken that shirt back from Josh." "Let's make a pact right now to never let ourselves be controlled by greed." "Done." "(Knocking)" "Hey ladies, where's the shirt?" "Well, it's torn." "Greed ripped it in half." "I'm gonna rip you both in half, give me that shirt." "Wait a minute, this isn't the shirt I sold you." "What?" "You think Steve Jobs wore a woman's medium?" "What?" "Oh my God." "Oh my God." "That means Elliot must have had a different shirt on his head." "That means the real shirt is still in the... h..." "I'm going to Cabo!" "Eh, I could get a couple of bucks for this." "Hey Josh, it's laundry day." "Hint hint." "And by hint hint, I mean take off the damn shirt because you stink." "Sorry, Yolanda." "Not taking it off." "My app has been crushing it all week." "Please?" "I mean, I'll have it back to you in 90 minutes." "Sorry, I'm not taking that risk." "Now please tell Gabi I'm ready for my lunch." "Okay." "Yes!" "Whoo!" "Maybe she's right." "Gabi!" "Josh is ready for his lunch!" "(Gabi) Be up in a sec!"

"The last full moon of that spring came a little more than a month before school let out for summer vacation." "Our town's long nightmare began that night." ""My beer is Rheingold, the dry beer." "Think of Rheingold whenever you buy beer." "It's not bitter, not sweet, it's a real frosty treat." "Won't you buy, won't you buy, Rheingold Beer."" "Jesus, Arnie, are you afraid of the bogey man?" "Come on outta there, Buster, and give me a hand." "All right." "What is it that you want, Arnie?" "I want some Rheingold." "And what're you gonna do..." "Soon as I get that dirt outta there..." "Rheingold time, Arnie!" "Oh, shit!" "The killing had begun." "But at first no one knew it." "You see, Arnie Westrum was a chronic drunk." "And what happened seemed like an accident." "The county coroner concluded that Arnie had passed out on the tracks." "There wasn't enough evidence to conclude anything else." "Did you remember the deviled-ham?" "It's such a wonderful day." "This is Tarker's Mills, where I grew up." "And this is how it looked that spring." "Everyone cared about everyone else." "I was nearly fifteen years old and my brother Marty was eleven." "We'd like to get things started now." "May I have your attention please, everybody?" "We'd like to get things started now, if we could." "A lotta chairs down here." "Come on right down and sit down." "Alright, without further ado, I'd like turn things over to Reverend Lowe." "I'm gonna go, OK?" "Alright, but stay close." " Thank you, folks." "Now, last June the..." " And make sure your brother's OK." ""Make sure your brother's OK."" "Marty's a booger." "Marty was the cross I had to bear." "Isn't that a garter snake?" " Hell, no." "He wasn't so bad, actually." " Lemme hold him." "He was just constantly thrown in my face by my parents." "I have an idea." " What?" "Oh, you wouldn't." "Oh, you would." "Only let's not go bananas or anything." " Who, me?" "An endeavor like this seems to me to be the very definition of community." "Marty?" "Aww, Janie!" " Goddammit!" "Come on, Jane, it was just a garden snake." "Look at my hose!" "Oh, I hate you." "Jane, I'm shocked at you." "Stop it, Brady." "Hey, Jane, did you wet your pants?" "Jane, I'm sorry." "Oh yeah, sure." "I didn't mean to." "Oh, no." "You never mean to." "I hate you, you booger!" "Well, sure looks like we got her goat this time, didn't we?" "Shut up, Brady." "You're warped." "Come here, I have to talk to you." "Listen, I told you it ain't my baby." " I can't believe you'd say that." "We've had this conversation before." " You know I wasn't with anybody else." "I need help." " It's your oven." "But it ain't my bun you're baking!" "You have to help me!" "I want you two to bury the hatchet." "You're being very silly, Jane." "Did you see my knee?" "Did you see my outfit?" " Marty has apologized." "And you know he couldn't have climbed the tree to stop Brady anyway." "You always take his side because he's crippled." "Well, it's not my fault he's crippled!" "You just wanna be quiet or I'm gonna smack you now, I mean it!" "Come on, Jane, I'm sorry." "Brady wouldn't stop." "Hey, pumpkin, don't forget to help your brother." "Bob, I don't have my keys." " Just a minute, sweetheart." "Don't sweat the small stuff, Janie." "Honey, where do you want this?" "Come on." "Hurry up!" "Is Uncle Red still coming to visit?" "Mom told dad that Uncle Red's getting a divorce." "Another divorce." "And she said he was drunk." "Now that's your great uncle." "A chronic drunk!" "He is not!" " He is so!" "Janie?" "Janie, you awake?" "What's the money for?" "A new pair of panty hose." "Is it enough?" "Jane, please take the money." "It was Brady's idea." "Honest to God." "I wanna make up." "I can get a pair of L'eggs down at the pharmacy for a dollar forty-nine." "Here." "Is it true what you said about Uncle Red?" " Yeah." "I'm sorry I told you the way I did." "It was mean." "It's OK." "I never did much like Sheila anyway." "Maybe I'll like the next one better." "Suicides go to hell." "Especially if they're pregnant." "And I don't even care!" "It's not a normal situation down here." "Well, that's what you told me this morning." "Well, I'm happy to hear that." "You think it'll be sometime this week?" "Well, that's good." "When and how many?" "Hey, fuck off!" "What'd he say, Joe?" "He said they'd be here by noon." "Maybe it wasn't a good idea telling that Smokey Bear to fuck off." "Well, I waited till he hung up." "Jesus Christ, what a mess." "Joe Haller couldn't find his own ass if somebody rammed it full of radium and gave him a Geiger counter." "Could be, I know a fella who's still P. O.'d for that little, uh, fender bender he had back on the Ridge Road last year?" "Well, could be I know a fat ol' fella who oughta take care of his mouth before someone turns it inside out." "We pay our taxes to keep this town safe." "And Joe Haller ain't doin' it." "Last town report said you were in arrears in your taxes, Andy." "Guess you caught up, huh?" "Whatta you, tryin' to be smart?" "Now you boys better turn down your thermostats or you can both get out!" "You got me?" "Now, who's drinkin'?" "Hey, it's Madman Marty in the Silver Bullet." "So, Marty, are you allowed to be out of jail?" "No, I like school." " Poor guy." "Be careful." "Not bad, huh?" "Uncle Red changed the regular muffler for a cherry bomb." " What's that?" "Glasspack." "He said he's making me a new wheelchair." "A custom job." "But now I dunno." "He's getting divorced and he's in the dog house with my mom." "For getting a divorce?" " Well, it is his third." "Come on, Tammy." "Thanks for coming home with me, Marty." "I was scared to pass her house alone." "Yeah, it is a little scary." "I mean, I saw her all the time." "Hey, take it easy." "I know how you feel." "There's something else scary." "What?" "That." "I've been hearing noises out there." "Tammy, get on in here!" "Help your mama with the laundry." "Well, I would go take a look myself, but I think the Bullet'd get stuck." "You would, wouldn't you?" "Yeah, sure." "No sweat." "I gotta go, Tammy." "Thanks again for coming home with me." "Damn cripples!" "Always end up on welfare!" "I'd electrocute 'em all." "Balance the Goddamn budget!" "Oh, come on, baby." "Hey, Mr. Cutts." " Well, Marty, I see you lucked out again." "Yep." "Would you fill her up, please?" "Want me to check the oil?" "Yeah, sure." "Wipe the windshield, check the driver's bullshit level?" "There was a guy sitting in a bar." "Says, "Hey, jackass, gimme a drink," so the bartender pours a drink." "And he drinks it." "He sits for a while, then says, "Jackass, pour me another."" "This other guys asks the bartender, "Why do you let him call you jackass?"" "The bartender says 'Hee-al, hee-al, he always calls me that.'" "It's good isn't it?" " Yeah." "You might as well fold, because you don't stand a Chinaman's chance." "Uh, I'll see ya, and I'll raise you this." "You can't bet managers." "OK, OK." " I just said, you can't bet managers." " So I'll bet a Yankee." "Piss on the Yankees, piss on the Indians..." " Time for bed." "Mom, come on." " Whoa, Nan." "Let him finish the game." "OK?" "Make it quick." "What did you say, "Yankee"?" "See your Yankee." "And I'll call ya." "I got three kings." "Read 'em and weep." "I got a straight to the Queen." "That's bullshit luck!" "Bullshit luck!" "That's enough!" " I'm thinkin'..." " That's enough!" "Hey, hold it!" "Can I say, can I at least say good night?" "Good night." "Good night." " Good night." " See you in the morning." " OK" " Wake me up." "No, I'll wake you up." " OK." " OK." "Honey, ask your sister to help you." "I'll be up in a minute." " I will." "Good night." "I don't want you drinking around Marty." "Don't be tellin' me what to do." "You've told me what to do all my life." "Red, I don't care how you live, but he is a very impressionable little boy." "You think your only responsibility is gettin' his butt from the chair to the toilet!" "You oughta realize there's more to Marty than his handicap." "It's so easy for you, isn't it?" " Yeah, it is!" "You blow in here once a month and you tell a few jokes and have a few beers and then you wanna lecture me about how to raise my son!" "I am the one who's responsible for how he feels when you're like this." "And for how he feels when you leave." "Marty has enough strikes against him as it is." "He doesn't have any strikes!" " I'm scared that one day he'll quit!" "He's not gonna give up!" " He doesn't need you showin' him how!" "Another wonderful night here at Sister Nan's." "Come on, Rebel!" "We're gonna bust him up tonight!" "We're gonna kick some ass!" "We're gonna kick some ass!" "Bust him up!" "Bust his chops!" "Oh, yeah!" "Oh, yeah, Rebel, airplane!" "Ooooh, that's it!" "Oh, that hurts my parts!" "Goddamn!" "I'm just gonna have to do somethin' about this." "Let's see if you wanna come back and bust up my pots after I put rock salt up your ass!" "Come around bust up my pots, I'm gonna bust up your ass!" "Sons-o'-bitches!" "I hope you're in there cause I'm gonna blow your ass off with this salt!" "Shit!" "Ain't that a hell of a note!" "Isn't that something?" ""...observe Sheriff Haller's curfew, after 5pm, please stay indoors."" "Well, you got any leads?" " I'm working on it, Mayor." "Mommy wants you to get inside." "Brady, I got it." " Great." "Marty Coslaw, you get outta that tree!" "Supper was ready an hour ago, dumbo." " Oh, Jeez, I forgot." "Is she mad?" "Yeah." "At me for not finding you sooner!" "Help me with the Bullet, please." "I oughta let you fall." "Hey, Brady, you comin'?" "In a while!" "Come on, Marty." "Marty, it's getting late." "And we oughta make Joe Haller, uh, dog catcher." "You know, nothing big..." "Andy, Andy, lighten up." "Let Joe handle the investigation." " Investigation?" "This investigation is as efficient as a submarine with screen doors." "I've heard enough outta you, Andy Fairton." "Come on, Pete, it's not worth it!" "If you don't shut your mouth, I'm gonna shut it for you!" "What'd you say?" "You heard what I said, Motor Mouth!" "You wanna dance, Snow boy?" " Come on!" "Has anybody in here seen my son Brady?" "Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee." "Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb." "Hail Mary, Mother of God..." "Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death..." "Herb, Herb, wait up, Herb!" "Herb!" "Come on, Herb!" " Is that my boy?" " Herb, don't go in there!" "Mr. And Mrs. Kincaid have asked that I say a word of comfort to you, if I could." "If there is any word of comfort I can give you, it's just this." "That the face of the beast always becomes known." "And the time of the beast always passes." "Nan, how about if I take the boy home?" "OK." "Thank you." "Come on, Marty, you're going with me." "Uh, Jane, I'll see you at the house." "How do you feel?" " How would you feel?" "I guess they better get that guy." "Uncle Red?" " Yeah?" "What if it's not a guy?" "What do you mean?" "Well, what if it's some kind of monster?" "Yeah, what if it's some kind of monster?" "You know, a werewolf or something?" " That's a good one!" "Yeah!" "Here we go!" " You know, Tammy told me she'd heard noises in the greenhouse." "Growling noises." "Her father was killed that night." "Listen, Marty!" "You have got to get this idea out of your head!" "Psychotics are more active when the moon is full." "And this guy's a psycho." "When they catch him you're gonna find out he's just as human as you and me." "Let's get the show on the road!" "You all know what groups you're in and what areas you'll be covering." "Groups one through four in the woods north of the Sturmfuller place." "Five and six west of Carson Creek." "If he comes out in the moonlight tonight, we're gonna get that sucker!" "I want all of you people to go home!" "I don't remember deputizing a single one of you." " That's right, Joe!" "The only deputy you got is that fat shit bag beside you." "And neither one of you has done anything about solving this case!" "We'll catch him." "You couldn't catch a cold!" "The law has a name for what you people are planning." "It's called 'Private Justice'." "And private justice is about a step away from lynch mobs and hang ropes!" "Now, I may be no J. Edgar Hoover, but I am the law in Tarker's Mills." "I want all you people to go home." "Don't let this guy scare you?" "And what's he done since this whole thing started but hang is face out?" "He ain't got so much as a fingerprint!" "Shut up, Andy!" " No, don't tell me to shut up!" " Yes!" "Shut up!" "I just came from my boy's funeral." "Herb, I know how upset... how grief-stricken you must be." " He was torn apart." "I know that." "I..." "Upset?" "Grief-stricken?" "You don't know what those words mean." "My son was torn to pieces." "Pieces!" "My son was torn to pieces!" "You come in here and talk to these men about 'private justice'?" "You dare to do that!" "Why don't you go out to Harmony Hill, Sheriff Haller, and dig up what's left of my boy Brady, and explain to him about private justice." "Would you wanna do that?" "As for me, I'm gonna go out and hunt up a little private justice." "You heard him!" "Let's go!" "Get outta the way, Reverend." " Stop!" "Stop!" "Andy, Andy!" "Don't do this!" "Let 'em go, Reverend." "This is that 'community spirit' you talked about." "Come on, boys, let's go!" "Virgil!" "Stop, stop!" "This is a bad idea." "Don't do this!" "No!" "David, no!" "Please!" "Please!" "What was that?" " It's over there." " Don't point that at me." "Over here, Bob." " Move it up there!" "So we can tell which way it's going." "OK." "Come on up here." "Come on, Jerry, this way." "Damn, Jerry." "Move the other way." " I'm sorry." "Come on!" "Jesus, that was close." "Come on." "Be careful." "You gotta help me!" " What is it?" "My foot!" "My foot!" "Get it off me!" " Sure." "Sure." "Hey, over here!" "Hold on." "I'll get it!" "I'll get it!" "Watch each other's back now." "Andy, there ain't nothin' here." "Let's go back to the car!" "Careful, Maggie." "Alright, we're gonna go through here." "You follow me one at a time." "I'm right behind you." "It came from over there." "As far as I could tell, it came in back of us." "He ain't down there, Andy." "We're gonna spread out in a skirmish line." "That son-of-a-bitch tries to come around us, we'll get him!" "Oh, shit!" "Come on." "I don't know." "What's wrong, Bobbie, you gonna make lemonade in your pants?" "I ain't scared." "Let's go." "Where's it coming from?" "Over there?" "No, it's behind us!" "I told you you couldn't trust this fog." "It's under the fog." "What are you saying?" "It's right here with us!" "I can't move!" "Start backing up, Andy!" "Real... slow." "Oh, my god!" "Come on, come on!" "Son-of-bitch!" "I'll get..." "It's hard... at a time like this to find the words ...to offer you any comfort." "There is no comfort!" "There is only private justice." "The Bible tells us not to fear the terror that creepeth by night." "Or that which flyeth by noon day." "And yet, we do." "We do." "Because there's so much we don't know." "And we feel very small." " Reverend!" "He was torn apart!" "Let it end, dear God!" "Let it end." "Oh, they cancelled the fireworks!" "It's no fair." "Oh, look out world, Marty the Great didn't get something he wanted!" "Stop it, Jane!" "I don't see why everybody cries when Marty doesn't get what he wants." "Pumpkin, what did your mother say?" "It's time you backed off, young lady!" " Oh, it's always my fault." "Jane, you won't let up." "Come on, now, let's get home." " I don't believe it." ""Insure your safety by observing the curfew, and not by leaving town." "Folks, this is a time for pulling together, not for bailing out." "Now for Sue Ann Eckerstein."" "I need the Phillips screwdriver." "It's not enough the monster killed all those people." "He killed Brady." "Now he's got them to cancel the fair." " And the fireworks." "Yeah, and the fireworks." "That's another thing." "Where's your mom?" " She and Dad are out back lighting the barbeque." "And Jane's walking around in her new clothes showing off her tits." "Let me see if I got this right." "The guy killed your best friend." "Drove your best girl outta town." "Now he's responsible for canceling the only carnival you got." "Am I lying?" "Now, you're not lying, Uncle Red." "Well, it just so happens that I've got something that might cheer you up..." "Oh, you mean I can see it?" "Yeah, it's time." " Now?" " Yeah, now." "Just cover your eyes." "Oh, come on." " Cover your eyes." "I busted my ass on this deal." "It's an ass-kicker, isn't it?" "Is that for me?" "Hell yes, it's for you!" "Damn, looks good!" "Wow, it's beautiful!" "Do you have a pilot's license?" " Do I need one?" "The coast is clear." "Are you ready?" " Oh, yeah." "I feel like a virgin on prom night." "Here's how you start it." "Remember what I told you?" " Yeah." " Now be damned careful." "Now, you start it." "Put your hand on the brake." " Push?" " Push!" "Sounds good, doesn't it?" " Yeah." " Yeah, you ready?" " Yes." " Shake." "Go get 'em, now!" "Stop, brake!" "Oh, the kid's dead meat!" "That was wicked." "Oooooh." "I hope you're happy." "You're lookin' at a dying man here." "This thing goes super, super fast." "I know it goes super fast." "And you better watch out." "Because if your mother finds out just how fast it goes, I'm gonna end up singing soprano in the boy's choir." "You know, I don't get you." "I know you don't." "But listen to me." "I built that for you because I love ya, right from my heart." "And I want you to be careful on it." "Because if you got hurt it'd kill me." "Let's get some barbecue, OK?" "Boy I tell you, after every pork dinner I eat..." "One more piece of pie..." " Are you sure about that?" "Would anybody else like a bite?" "Well, go ahead." " Listen, no, put it down." "I've gotta go." " OK." "I've had a wonderful time." " So have I." "I wish it could always be like this." " Invite me for dinner more often." "OK, it's a deal." " Well, nice to meet you." " You too." " Later, Janey!" "Good thing you didn't spill my drink." "Why don't you walk me to my car?" "Walk me to my car and see if I can stay out of trouble." "Thanks!" " Bye!" "Come on, let's go!" "Nan, can I have some more coffee?" "I tell you, I'm gonna start up a reptile farm..." " You're nuts." "That'd be some kind of barbecue!" "Here we go." "Hold on." "Now, I said I had something for you, as I believe you do recall." "Yeah, what is it?" "You're gonna have Fourth of July, but you're gonna have it in September." "Now remember, it isn't just the fireworks." "It's so no crazy shithead can stop the good guys... if you can dig that." "Now stay near the house." " Yeah, sure." " OK." "Save this for the last." "It's a rocket." "You'll like it." "Thanks a million, Uncle Red." " You're welcome, Marty." "Hide these." "All right." "Now remember..." "stay... near... the house." "OK?" "I promise." " That's good." "Now I hope you have a good time." "Thanks a lot, Uncle Red." "Watch out for the werewolf!" " 'Bye." "This is for the good guys." "Oh, shit." "Uncle Red, it's me, Marty." "I saw the werewolf last night." "I saw the werewolf!" " Hey, buddy, you had a bad dream." "It wasn't a dream, Uncle Red." "I saw the Werewolf with the fireworks." "There are no such things as werewolves." "There is, I saw it!" "Uncle Red, it was a werewolf." "Have some pity on your poor uncle, OK?" "Uncle Red, I saw it!" "Jesus." "What?" "Who was that?" "An obscene phone call." "Marty, you OK?" "You've just been sitting here all morning." "Where's Mom?" "Out shopping." "Why?" "Jane, I gotta talk to you." "About what?" "Well, Uncle Red won't believe me, and if you don't help me..." "What is it?" "He told me something unbelievable." "Yet somehow, I believed most of it." "But I understood one thing completely, Marty himself believed it all." "Marty had seen where the rocket had struck home, he said." "And I went out that day looking for more than just cans and bottles." "Hi, Mrs. Thayer..." "I'm collecting returnable bottles and cans for the M EDCU drive." "Have any?" "I was looking for a man or a woman with just one eye." "Hello, Jane." "Who is it?" " It's Jane Coslaw." "Hello, Jane." "I know what you're after, Jane, and you're outta luck." "Little Toby Whittislaw come in here yesterday, and I give 'em all to him." "That's OK." "Is that you, Mr. Fairton?" "Got any bottles or cans?" " No." "Goodbye, Mr. McLaren." " Bye, Jane." "Gentlemen..." "I'm sorry to disturb your lunch." "I'm collecting bottles for charity." "I was just wondering if any of you had seen Mr. Robertson?" "Oh, hi, Mr. Robertson." "I was wondering if you had any." "I guess not." "Thanks." "It's my own fault for believing Marty." "The little asshole." "Hi, Reverend Lowe." "I'm ready to turn my bottles in." "Hi, Janie." "And how are you?" "All right, I guess." "It's just that my brother gets me so mad sometimes." "Well, Jane, brothers sometimes do that." "Take your cart on around to the garage and bring me your tally sheet." "Having some trouble?" "Why Jane, you're trembling." "I don't feel well." "I think maybe I got too much sun." "Well, would you like to come in the parlor and lie down for a bit?" "No!" "Or have a cold drink?" "I have some soda." "I think I should get home and help my mom with dinner." "I'll give you a ride." " No!" "Give my best to your brother, Jane." "I will." "Jane, what did you do then?" "I ran faster than I've ever run in my entire life." "What do you think?" "By the time I got back here I thought I was gonna faint." "Marty, what are we gonna do?" "If we tell anyone..." "grownups, I mean, they'd laugh." "Well, what are we gonna do?" "I think I know." "I mailed another letter from Marty the next day." "A third the day after that." "Then on Saturday we told Uncle Red what we'd been up to." "His reaction was less than serene." "Holy jumped-up, bald-headed, Jesus palomino!" "Uncle Red!" " From him, I'd expect it." "Sometimes I think your common sense got paralyzed along with your legs." "But from you, Jane, you're Miss Polly Practical." "You don't understand." " I understand that my niece and my nephew are sending little love notes to the local minister suggesting that he gargle with broken glass..." "or eat a rat poison omelet." "It came for me, I shot it in the eye, now he's wearing an eye patch." "I wish I had a tape recorder so you could hear what you sound like." "What about the baseball bat Jane saw in his shed?" "What about it?" "You know who used to have a baseball bat like that?" "Mr. Knopfler." "So?" " It looked like Bigfoot had used it for a toothpick." "Do you wanna know what I think?" " No, we just wanted to admire you." "You better watch your mouth right now." "You're on thin ice with me, son." "I think you had a hallucination." "The thing was probably a broomstick." " It was not." "Want me to show you?" "I'm not afraid." "I'll show it to you right now." "No, no, no, no." "I'm a little too old to be playing the Hardy Boys meet Reverend Werewolf!" "Jane, forget it." " Jesus!" "Yeah, forget it." "Forget it." "Werewolf!" " Probably have gotten rid of it by now anyway." " This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard." "Just forget it!" "It's crazy!" "You see your suspect yet, Marty?" " Yes, I see him." "Are you saying he took a rocket in the eye and now he's out here painting?" "He'd be in the hospital or dead." " I didn't shoot him as a man." "I shot him when he was..." " What?" "A Werewolf?" "Oh, Jesus!" "Jane, you don't believe this madness, do you?" "I don't know exactly what I believe." "But I know that what I saw was a baseball bat, and not a broomstick." "And I know there was something strange about the way the garage smelled." "It smelled like an animal's den." "And I believe in Marty." "You used to believe in him too, Uncle Red." "Kids!" "Hey, Marty, you wanna go to Robertson's for a soda?" "No, thanks." "I think I'm gonna go home." "OK, see you." " Yeah." "See you." "Oh, shit!" "Oh my God!" "Come on." "Jesus!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "I'm very sorry about this, Marty." "I don't know if you believe that or not, but it's true." "I would never willingly hurt a child." " Please..." "I won't tell anyone." "You should have let me alone, Marty." "I can't kill myself." "Our religion teaches that suicide is the greatest sin we can commit." "Stella was going to commit suicide." "And if she had done so, she would be burning in hell right now." "By killing her I took her physical life, but I saved her life eternal!" "You see how all things serve the will and the mind of God." "You see!" "You meddling little shit!" "You're going to have a terrible accident, Marty." "You're gonna fall in the river!" "Mr. Zinneman!" "Help me, please!" "Mr. Zinneman!" "Wait!" "Mr. Zinneman!" "On the bridge!" "Help me, please!" "That you, Marty?" "Spooky in there, isn't it?" "It's easier to swallow without the foaming jaws, the hair and teeth." "Did you talk to the Sheriff?" " Yes." "After Marty's latest, thrilling tale of wonder." "But he's had no complaints of poison pen pals." "See, told ya." " Shut up, Marty." "What color is Lowe's car?" "Blue." "This blue." "Jesus!" "That is the craziest, goddamn story I have ever heard in my life." "I know." "Do you believe any of this?" "You do, don't you?" "Well, let's just say I believe Reverend Lowe oughta be checked out." "That can be arranged." "Thank you, Joe." "Reverend Lowe?" "Can I help you, Joe?" "I think you'd better come along with me, Reverend." "It's not my fault!" "Sheriff Haller said he'd check him out." "Guess what?" "He disappears." "What do you suggest I do about it?" "I want you to turn this into a silver bullet." "You won't let go of it, will you?" "I saw what I saw." "Marty, the moon wasn't even full." "In the legends, the werewolf guy only changes when the moon is full." "But maybe he's like this almost all the time." "Only, as the moon gets fuller..." "...the guy gets wolfier." "Here!" "Take mine too." " Why don't you guys tell me how this guy Lowe became a werewolf?" "I don't know." "Maybe he doesn't know either." "I think he's going to come after me." "Not just because I know who he is, but because I hurt him." "And I think he'll wait till the moon's all the way full, and there's no Reverend Lowe at all." "Only the monster." "You've gone right outta your mind." "Will you do it?" "Boy..." "Stay!" "Hello." "My nephew has just discovered the Lone Ranger." "And I wondered if you could help me here." "You want a silver bullet, huh?" "The man Uncle Red had gone to see was more than a gunsmith." "He was, Uncle Red said, 'an old world craftsman'." "A sort of wizard of weapons." "He confirmed the high silver content of my crucifix and Marty's medallion." "He melted them down and molded them into a silver bullet." "Marty had read all the legends about werewolves." "And thought they differed on several minor points, they all agreed on one." "It takes silver to kill a werewolf." "And we were taking no chances." "There it is." "Nicest piece of work I ever done, I think." "It's got a low-grain load so it won't tumble." "Oughta be pretty accurate." "Well, shoot, it's just a gag." "I mean, what the heck you gonna shoot a 44 bullet at anyway, made of silver?" "How about a werewolf?" "The night of the next full moon came on Halloween." "And a happy coincidence left us in the sole care of Uncle Red." "At least it seemed like a coincidence." "And remember, we'll be at the Plaza." " And I've got the number." " Right." "Well, goodbye!" "Goodbye!" "Thank you!" "Thank you so much!" " Whoa, Sis." "It's just my luck to win a romantic trip for two after Sheila leaves me." "Have you got the tickets?" " Uh, yeah." "Yeah." "OK, now go and have fun." " 'Bye." " Have fun, Bob." "Uh, you too, Red." "Don't let those kids run you ragged." "Naw, they won't run me ragged." "Don't let any trick-or-treaters in, even if they come." "We won't." "'Bye-bye." " Goodbye." " 'Bye-bye." " Have fun." "Oh, listen!" "You kids go to bed early." "You're gonna hurt you head popping' in-and-out like that!" "Be good, kids." " Yeah, we will." "Could I tell you kids something?" "'" " Sure, Uncle Red." "Me and Nan, were just like you guys when we were growin' up." "And the bitch of it is, we still are." "Did you really win a trip to New York from Publisher's Clearing House?" "No." "But the moon is full, and your parents are gone," "and I did win a subscription to Popular Mechanics." "You're gonna burn yourself up sometime doing that Uncle Red." " Probably will." "If that would have gone off, that've been the end of our Silver Bullet." "This is too much." "You guys are goin' to bed." "But Uncle Red, you said!" " I know what I said." "But it's ten till three in the morning and it's not coming." "The moon's not down yet." " Well, it's damn near down." "I'm gonna sit up the rest of the night with this stupid gun in my lap because I promised I'd do that." "But you're going to bed, so are you." " What happens if I say no?" "Then I'm gonna kick your ass!" "It's a werewolf!" "I saw him!" "It's a werewolf!" " Wait." "What did you see?" " The werewolf!" "What did you see?" " I was looking at you." "Uh... it's OK." "I'll go look, that's all." "A very familiar feeling is beginning to come over me." "What?" "I'm beginning to feel like a horse's ass, that's what." "He's out there!" "I saw him!" "I know you did, Janie." "Why don't you just go upstairs?" "Now don't panic!" "He's here." "Marty, it could be just a fuse." "Shit!" "Over here!" "Watch out!" "Jane, get the gun!" "Hurry, Marty!" "Please, hurry!" "Leave him alone!" "Holy jumped up Jesus Palomino." "It's OK." "I gotcha." "I gotcha." "Don't worry." "He's dead." "Are you alright?" "All except for my legs." "What?" "I don't think I can walk." "I love you, Jane." "I love you, too." "I wasn't always able to say that." "But I can say it now." "I love you, too, Marty." "Good night."

"Hi, I'm Chuck." "Here's what's been going on in my life lately." "I'm a little worried about our cover." "I think it's time for us to make love." "I own a deli in the mall and I often think about meats and cheeses." "You do know we're Just spending the night together for cover, right?" "By now, I'd say I'm pretty familiar with the concept of faking it, so..." "You're interested in that Lou girl, aren't you?" "Sarah is my..." " Girlfriend." " Mm-hm." "You and me, our thing under the undercover thing is this ever going anywhere?" " No." " We need to break up." "You know, like fake break up our pretend relationship." "Hey!" "Excuse me, can I get some help?" "Four, three, two, one." " Bingo." "Hey." "I'm sorry." "I'm on a break." "Great news, pal." "I am free this evening for a meal." "I'm thinking about surf and turf." "Half-meatball, half-tuna sub." "Then, boom!" ""Call of Duty 4:" "Modern Warfare. "" " Oh." " Me and you." "Sniper." "On my back, watching me." "Oscar Delta." "I would love to, but I have plans tonight." "Don't sweat it, me too." "Slammed." " What are you and the lady doing?" " Uh, actually, the lady and I are no más." "It's over." "Ah, man, I knew this would happen." "I'm sorry." "Damn it!" "Women can be so cruel." "You know, as a matter of fact, I'm the one who did the breaking up." "She Just wasn't the right girl for me." "Right girl?" "Are you out of your mind?" "She's the hottest piece we're gonna get." "Listen, I didn't really see a future for Sarah and I, ultimately." "And so I didn't wanna waste any more time." "Beg for her back, Charles." "Go." " Yeah." " Yeah?" "What's going on in there?" "Uh, Just a little thing I call Operation Devastation." "Explain." "Okay." "My boy is about to dump the wiener chick." " What?" "No way." " What?" "Don't lie, you liar." "I'm not lying." "All right, relax." "She wasn't the right girl." " What?" " Yeah." "Right girl?" "What does that mean?" "Look, Chuck." "I've been thinking about our breakup, and I'm not so sure it's the best idea." "Miss me already, huh?" "Well, Just, you know, for the cover." "It makes things easier." "Then I guess your Job's gonna be a little bit harder." "Look, I'm sorry if you thought there was something between us." "It's very common in these situations to perceive a connection that isn't there." "Of course." "I get it." "It's the old story, you know." "Guy gets supercomputer in his brain beautiful CIA agent is sent to protect him." "Then she tells him under truth serum that she's not interested." "I get it." "But for me, the emotional rollercoaster is a little much." "So I think I'd rather find something a little less common like say, I don't know, a, uh..." "A real relationship." "Okay, Chuck, if that's what you want, then I'm gonna have to sell it." "You okay?" "Sarah?" " Heart breaker." "Dream maker." " Love taker." " Don't you miss the aroma, Chuck?" "Check this out." "Hey, buddy." "Heard about what happened." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine, Lester." " Thanks for asking." " No problem." "Now that you're done with Sarah, mind if I take a crack at her?" "Hey, swing away, champ." "You bet, brother." "Where you going?" "Don't run from me." "We need to talk about our emotions." "I'm sorry." "You're gonna have to weep without me." " I got a date." " What?" "Get out of here." "Already?" "Good for you, hot shot." " With who?" " Just someone I met." "She makes sandwiches." "Deli owner." "Okay, hold on a second." "A pro?" "Sixteen is up." "Yeah, right here." " Who ordered the capicola?" "Right here." "Seventeen." "Thank you." "Hi." "I don't like the idea of this breakup at all." " What the hell happened?" " She got dumped." "We decided that it would be best for Chuck to date a civilian." "It will help secure his cover in the event that someone IDs me." " Because she got dumped." " Let me get this straight." "Some woman comes in and starts dating the asset and this doesn't strike you as suspicious?" "It's not completely unfeasible." "He is a reasonably charming guy." "I've heard enough." "I wanna know everything about this woman before she gets too close." "Wait, wait, wait." "Wow, it's, uh..." "It's been a while since I've done that." "Ha, ha." "Me too." "I think I tweaked my neck." "Well, it, uh, wouldn't be an official Chuck Bartowski date if the woman didn't leave injured in some way." "I don't usually do this on first dates but do you wanna come inside?" "Yeah." "I'm about to make you a very happy man." "Oh, my God." "It's so good." "That is so amazing." "Wow." " Did you really like it?" " Oh." "Oh, like it?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I like it." "I love it." "L..." "What's wrong?" "You don't like it?" " It's the chopped liver, isn't it?" " Huh?" "What?" "What?" "No, no, I..." "No, it's amazing." "It's amazing." "You're..." "You're amazing." "What is, uh..." "What is that?" " What?" " The invite thing." "Oh, it's nothing." "Some invitation for a party at, uh, Club Ares." "Who's Stavros Demetrios?" "My ex, he owns the place." " Why?" "Do you know him?" " No, not really, no." "Good." "You don't want to." "He thought I was dating some guy and he trashed his car." " Threatened to kill him." "Ha." " Ha." "The last thing you want is that lunatic in your head." "Stavros Demetrios." "A handsome playboy." "Owns and operates a number of L.A. Clubs." "I don't think he's handsome." "He's the son of Yari Demetrios, the shipping magnate." "What do you mean by playboy?" "What kind of intel do we have on that?" "What we have is information that a volatile package is coming to Los Angeles." "The cargo is time-sensitive, which knowing the Demetrios family ties to the Middle East could mean a weapon." "Chuck, we need you to get close to Stavros." "See if you flash on anything related to the shipment." "What?" "You want me to get close to my girlfriend's ex?" "How do you want me to do that?" "I don't wanna get her involved." "Why don't you and your girlfriend hit Club Ares?" "I hear it's supposed to be all the rage." " How's my breath?" " Like the ocean." "Aye, aye, captain." "Are you kidding me?" "Everybody in this place is scoring." "Chuck's onto his second lady." "What do we got?" "Nothing." "I don't know about you but I intend to make the most out of the seeds I've been planting." "What are you talking about?" "I'm gonna tag Anna." "Are you kidding?" "You make me sick." "I'd rather get with Morgan." " Hey, Larry." "What can I get for you?" " Lester." "I wanted to say I was sorry to hear about you and Chuck." "And if you needed someone to talk to, I'm here for you." "That's very sweet." "Thank you." "Wanna catch a movie?" "Grab a bite?" "You're asking me out a day after I broke up with your friend?" "All's fair in love and war, Sarah." " You know what you seem like to me?" " Mm?" "A man who knows what he wants." "Sure, you know, we could go through all the motions." "Coffee, movie, dinner." "Or we could Just skip all of that nonsense and I could Just devour you right here." "Mm." "This should hold us." "It's..." "It's an interesting, uh, thought." "Let me think about that proposition." "L..." "Oh!" "Oops." "Your feet seemed to have slipped..." "Is that Jeff, uh, calling me?" "I will be right there, Jeff." "I'm Just gonna..." "What about that movie?" "Hey, Lou!" "Hi." "Hi." "Nice to see you again." "You know, he's a great guy." "Yeah, um, I've had the same opinion so far too." "It's not an opinion." "It's a fact." "Don't hurt him." "Okay." "Wasn't planning on it." "Thanks for the heads up, though." "Excuse me?" "Hi, do you know where I could find Chuck?" "Ah, the sandwich maker." " I have heard so much about you." " Thank you." "Ha." " And I must be...?" " The guy who works at the Buy More?" "Close." "Morgan Grimes?" "Chuck's best friend, soul mate." " He hasn't mentioned me?" " Sorry." "Probably means he doesn't think you're gonna be sticking around." " Ha, ha!" " Hey, here you are." " I'm glad you two finally met." " Yeah." " Hmm." "I brought you some lunch." " Oh, thank you." "Mm, I smell salami." "Black olive tapenade?" "Okay." "This might actually have a shot at working out." "Well, Morgan-approval." "That's very big." "I seem to be getting that from all angles today." " Just had a moment with your ex." " Did you?" "Yeah, she's, uh..." "She can be a little overprotective sometimes." "But speaking of exes, um I was thinking maybe we could go to that party thing at Ares tonight." "No." "You know what?" "Trust me, it's a bad plan." "Look, sooner or later he's gonna find out about me and I'd rather Just make the peace now." "Charming, handsome and brave." "That's a combination I'm not used to." "Yeah." "Ha, ha." "It's a little..." "Little new for me too." "We're only on our second date and already I'm lying to her." "Relax, it's dating in L.A. Everyone lies." "We're gonna be tapped into the club's surveillance." "All we need is audio." "This has an RK-7 mini-mike that works up to 20 feet." "I want you to keep it as close to Stavros as possible." "Are you kidding?" "Are you kidding me with this?" "I can't wear this." "This looks ridiculous." "The alternative is we Join you on your date." "Fine." " Earwig." " It never stops with you people, does it?" "Aren't you forgetting something, Romeo?" "Oh, of course." "Let me guess, this is equipped with some kind of microscopic, infrared tracking device that determines her mother's communist affiliations?" "No, idiot." "It's so you can get laid." "I usually..." "I'm sorry, I get more respect at the door." "You know, I come here a lot." "Always here on Monday nights." "And then Tuesdays at Hyde." "I'm on the circuit." "You know, I do my thing." "Heh." " I can't hear a word that you're saying!" " Ha, ha." "What's that?" "I love this song." "Do you wanna dance?" "No, I normally, uh, require some social lubricant before entering a dance floor." "Hello, sweetheart." "Stavros." "Uh, this is Chuck." "Chuck, Stavros." " Hi." " Cool pin." "I'd wear mine but I left it in the '80s." " Ha-ha!" " It's Just..." "Yeah, I kept mine." "Nice to see you." "Whoa, whoa, where are you going?" " Let me buy your new friend a drink." " No, thanks." " Um..." "Have the drink, Chuck." " Yeah, maybe..." "Maybe Just one." " Good, VIP on me." "Ha!" "Way to own the noobs, Morgan." "Use your deep impact perk." "Don't back-seat perk me." "I know when to use my perks." "I have to tell you I think you're one of the best "Call of Duty 4" players in the store." "Really?" "You know, I heard what you said to Jeff." "And I think that you should not fight it anymore." "Just sort of, um, succumb to your desire, you know, Just..." "Morgan, what are you doing?" " I thought you wanted me." " Because I said I prefer you to Jeff?" "I'd take Lester over Jeff." "Doesn't mean I'm into that loser." "But you'd take me over Lester, right?" "Listen, can you keep this between me and you, please?" "You know, don't tell anybody?" "Ah." "That's aged 10 years in oak." "Can you taste it, Jack?" "Chuck." "And, uh, yes, I think I did taste it." "Although that also could've been a piece of my liver." "A piec..." "I love this guy." "He's a charmer." " Hey, you." " Hey." "Can I get you something?" "Can I get some more wine?" "Oh, don't do that, Jack." "You don't wanna get on her bad side." " Fiery Italian." " Stavros." "Think I'll tell him about the trip to Meccano where you threw a lamp at my head?" "I still have the scar." "I thought you said she threw it at your head?" "She did." "The scar is from the makeup sex." "She's a tiger." "Grr!" "Get on with it, Chuck." " Um so Stavros, uh, you're in the club game." "Don't worry about it." " You seem nervous, relax." " Oh." "I'm not." "Ooh, you got a small neck, huh?" " Thank you very much." " Like a chicken." "He does have a small neck." "Maybe I should go in." "Same bit with you, huh?" " What's that supposed to mean?" " You need me to spell it out?" "All right." "You fall for the guys you work with." "First Bryce, now our boy Chuck." "Bryce was a mistake, and I haven't fallen for Chuck." "Hmm." "Yeah, whatever you say." "And Just so we're clear, sister:" "Not interested." "Have you ever snapped a chicken's neck, Chuck?" " Can't say that I have." " It's much easier than you would think." " That's it, I'm going in." " Hey." "No." "Hey." "Walker!" "Chuck isn't that your ex-girlfriend?" "Yes, it is." "Yes." "Sorry." "Uh, she's having a hard time letting go." "It's happened to me before, a lot." "I better go talk to her." "I'll be right back." "I'm so sorry." "I'm sorry." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Hey, what are you doing here?" "I wanted to make sure you're okay." "I'm on a..." "I'm on a date, okay?" "It's Just..." "You're ruining it right now." "I'm fine!" "I'm fine!" " Just..." "Just go." " Okay, fine." "But your girlfriend is leaving." "Excuse me." "I'm sorry." "Excuse me, excuse me." "Hey, where are you going?" "You've spent the entire night either with my ex or yours." "This date is over, okay?" "I'm out of here." " Lou, wait." "Excuse me." "No, no." "Lou." "Don't go." "Don't go." "Don't go." "Excuse me." "Casey." "Casey, Stavros' father, Yari, Just walked in." "He's heading towards his son." "Get the mike closer." "I need to hear what they're saying." "Chuck, get over there." "Now." "Damn it, Chuck." "What are you waiting for?" "Okay." "Excuse me." "I beg your pardon." "I'm so sorry." "Excuse me." "I literally was Just in there." "Like, two seconds ago." "Okay, Chuck, this is it." "Get the mike closer." "Okay, you know what?" "I probably..." "I was over there, so I'm gonna..." "Thank you." "Four o'clock." "Tomorrow afternoon." "San Pedro." "The package is time-sensitive, so if it expires we are all dead." "Gotcha." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Lou, wait!" "Wait, wait, wait!" "Great." "Great." "Nice work, Chuck." "We know when and where the package is coming." "Mission accomplished." "How was the date?" "Is it me or does our government never want me to have sex again?" "Charles Bartowski, second message." "Look, I totally screwed up." "I'm more than comfortable blaming it on the alcohol or global warming or my obscure allergy to neon." "But, hey, hopefully, I'll talk to you soon." "Okay, thanks." "Bye-bye." "Damn it." "You made me gave her a "bye-bye. "" "What?" "She won't talk to you?" "Want us to cut her power?" " Smoke her out?" " Wow." "That's very romantic." "Why don't you Just club her over the head and drag her out by her foot?" " I'll handle this one without the NSA." " You did a good Job." "We're going to the docks to intercept the package." "You need me to go?" "Yeah, you know, if crap hits the fan, we could use you, chicken-neck." "Chuck." "Chuck." " What'd you hear about last night?" " I don't know what you're talking about." "I made a move on Anna, and she shot me down, so I..." "What, Anna?" "Really?" "I didn't know you liked Anna." "What's like got to do with it?" "You have a girl, I should have a girl." "Uh, occasionally, on planet Earth men will consider their feelings for a woman before Jumping atop them." "Yeah, she's kind of cute in a freaky, little tiger-ish kind of way, you know?" "That's not my problem, dude." "What if she tells everyone?" "I was starting to get some cred here." "Anna is very cool." "I'm sure that your rep is very secure, ese." "No, they're talking about me." "You see this?" "I'm ruined, dude." "Okay, you got me." "Ha-ha-ha!" "Yeah, fun time at my expense." "Look, I tried to kiss Anna." "She dissed me, all right?" "I feel like a fool." "Are you happy now?" "Morgan, we were laughing about Chuck getting dumped by the deli girl after he dumped the wiener girl." "Kind of poetic?" "You tried to kiss Anna?" " Why?" " Dude, how could you?" "I got dibs on Anna." "I'm right here, you disgusting pig." "I realize that this is dangerously close to bordering on stalker status, but, uh..." "Look, I don't really care about that." "Oh, look, maybe you're calling me right now." "I don't know." "Maybe I should hang up and Just give you the chance to..." "Okay, okay." "Um, so you know, if you get a sec, you can call me back." "Okay, bye-bye." "Won't call you back?" "I, uh..." "Yeah, I think her voicemail's broken." "It's very, very common." "I wanted to apologize for last night." "I suppose I Jumped the gun a little and I didn't mean to interfere with your date." "Not sure it qualifies as a date when you're bugged with CIA microphones and infiltrating an arms importer, but, hey, I'm new at this." "Well, it's hard to have a real relationship in this line of work." "Apparently it's hard to have a fake one as well." "Well, if it's any consolation I never felt like our time together was work." "Oh, uh, gerber daisies." "Lou's favorite." " How do you know that?" " CIA." "I had them check flower deliveries to her addresses from the last five years." "Good tip." "Excuse me." "I'm so sorry." "Excuse me." "I beg your pardon." "I'm so sorry." "Wait." "Lou can I talk to you?" "Just one second." "I'm busy." " Who had the parm and proscuitto?" " Me." "There you go." " Twenty-seven!" " Yo, yo right here." "You wanna talk?" "Get a number like everybody else." "Who's got 28?" "Twenty-eight." "Twenty-eight." "Who's holding 29?" "Twenty-nine." " Right here." "Twenty-nine!" " Federal agent!" "Down on the ground." "Don't move." "Get the bomb squad in here." "Let's go!" "Number 43." "Right here." "What do you want?" "Forty-four." "Who's holding 44?" " Forty-four." " I have 44." "Yes, yes, yes." "Please, I'd like to speak to Lou, please." "Buddy, it looks like you're gonna have to take another number." " Forty five." "Who's got 45?" " Right here." "Forty-seven up." "You sure that's a good idea?" "Yeah, why not?" "Bomb in there, we're all gonna go." "Might as well enjoy a last smoke." "It's all clear." "Agent Casey, you better take a look at this." "What the hell?" "Someone knew we were coming." "Ninety-six?" "Anybody got 96?" "I Just wanted to apologize about last night and explain..." "I'm working." "You want a sandwich?" " Yeah, I'll take a sandwich." " Great." "What will you have?" " You carry wheat bread?" " We do." "Why don't you grab a couple slices of that?" "Now toss them and grab the seedless rye." "And while you're at it, grab some pastrami." "End cut, none of that lean crap." "A man with high cholesterol." "Sexy." " Is that it?" " Oh, I'm Just getting warmed up." " Coleslaw." " On the side?" " On the top, lather it on." "Swiss?" " Munster." " Is that it?" "After you shut it down and grill it." "This is a hot sandwich, sweetheart." "In the Reuben family." "These are for you." "They were alive at one point." "Gerber daisies, they're my favorite." "I'm sorry if I acted like a Jerk last night." "I was really nervous." "Shut up, Chuck." "He had me at pastrami." "Who are these people?" "How did they find out about the shipment?" "I've no idea." "If anything goes wrong with this shipment, we are dead." "These people will kill us." "What is coming in that is so important?" "I don't know!" "And I don't wanna know." "Our Job is to make the delivery, not ask questions." "Now, you find out who this belongs to and bring him to me." "Morning, handsome." "Nice work last night." "Hey, lover boy." " Aah!" "Hasn't that mirror suffered enough already?" "I am in the bathroom, okay?" "Is there nothing sacred to you people?" "Just the right to bear arms." "You two look terrible." "Well, we were up all night explaining to our bosses why we raided a cargo freighter filled with air and a surveillance camera." "The tip you gave us was compromised." " Someone set us up." " I think it was your sandwich maker." "Are you kidding me?" "Lou?" "Please, come on." "You guys don't want me to date for national security reasons, fine." "But I think this is pathetic." "And quite frankly, beneath you, Sarah." "This was taken at the docks after your date." "I'm sure she has a perfectly reasonable explanation for this." "Good." "Can't wait to hear it." "Keep it." "We have plenty more." "Everyone is talking about you trying to hook up with Anna." "The guys at the Sbarro even named a pizza after you." "No sauce, no toppings." "Nothing but pure cheese." "It's called "The Loser. "" "Mm, let's grab a slice." "I'm ruined." "Chuck, our intel says Lou should be meeting Stavros behind the club." "You guys are being paranoid." "There's no way Lou's showing up here." "Now you're miked." "Great." "Great." "Thanks a lot." "And what will the sandwich police be doing on this stakeout?" "Here we go." "We got company." "Oh, my." "Believe us now?" " No." "As a matter of fact, I don't." " Hey, Chuck, wait." " No, damn it." "I'm going after him." " They have us on tape." "They recognize either one of us, we blow the whole operation." "Thank you, Stavros." "Oh, my pleasure." "So your friend, Chuck, where did you meet him?" "He works at the Buy More across from the deli." "I took my phone in to get fixed." " Why?" " Nothing." "He Just seems like a great guy." "I'll be back with the rest." "Well, hello, Lou." "If that is in fact your real name." "Chuck, what are you doing here?" " What are you doing here?" " None of your business." "Were you following me?" " Have you been spying on me?" " Hold on." "Don't try and turn this around on me." "I'm not the one smuggling, you know..." "What is this?" "What is this?" "Illegal things when my boyfriend..." "Is that...?" "What is that?" "Portuguese cured soprasetta." "What'd you think was gonna be in there?" "I, uh, didn't quite know." "I Just saw you with Stavros and I suspected the worst." "Right." "Well, congratulations, your suspicions have been confirmed." " I'm a smuggler." "Ooh." " Shh." "You should keep that down." "Someone will hear you." "I know it's illegal." "There's no additives or preservatives in it." "It takes 10 days to clear customs and by then, it's gone bad." "Okay?" "Don't get me started on that FDA crap." " I can't hear." "I'm going in." " No, give him a minute." " Can't go in every time he breaks a nail." " Just cover the front." "I'm sorry, Lou." "I made a really big mistake." "Looks like I did too." " Hey, what happened?" " I blew it." " Again." "Yes, you did, Chuck." "You most definitely blew it." "Why did you come in?" "I had the situation under control." "Yeah, I can see that." "Damn it." "So I assume you have a plan to get us out?" "Right now Casey's tracking your GPS device in your watch." "A SWAT team will be here any minute." "Yeah." "About the watch..." "Idiot." "Lou was incriminating herself." "I didn't want her in trouble." "Always the romantic, huh?" " Jealous?" " It was foolish." "Do you think the CIA is interested in a deli-meat smuggler?" "Well, excuse me if I'm not Mr. Perfect Spy." "We can't all be Bryce Larkin, now can we?" " Oh, who's Jealous now?" " Jealous of you and Bryce?" "Never." " Said everything?" " More or less." "Good." "Now shut up." "You're sucking up all the air." "Sorry I Jammed my tongue down your throat." "No worries, Morgan." "Look at the lone wolf." "The wolf does it right." "You know, Just Jumps around from mate to mate." "Never settles down." "This way, he never gets hurt." "Maybe, but lone wolves are also lonely." "Food and Drug Administration." "How can I help you?" "We know about the illegal meats you've been importing, miss." "FDA's been running a task force against the Demetrios family." "You're going down for 10 to 20 in a federal pen." " For salami?" " For guns." " Guns?" " Demetrios family's been shipping guns which means, we can nail you for aiding and abetting terrorists." "Or you can help us." "Uh, what would I have to do?" "Give me the dock number where you're receiving your shipments from Stavros." "Dock 14B, the northwest pier." "Thanks." "By the way, miss." "Your pastrami's delicious." "Time is of the essence, so I will cut to the chase." "We've a very important delivery that's about to be picked up." "We need to know who else knows about it." " Okay, I'll talk!" " No, Chuck." "We..." "We know all about the imported salami." "And..." "And we're cool with it, man." "The real crime is that it's illegal to begin with." "Honestly." " There's no need for torture, Yari." " Ha, ha." "Mr. Bartowski, I'm not gonna torture you." "Great." "Great, we're on the same page." " I'm gonna torture her." "No." "No, no." "We're not on the same page anymore." "Not even the same chapter." "No, no." "Please don't." "You killed a whole family outside of Garava." "You stole their heirlooms." "You sold them except for that watch." "How you know that?" "Your name is Vladimir Snell." "Last year you were paid $40,000 to kill a man named Leo Koloff." "You told me we were paid 20." "He's lying." "He'll say anything to get out." "He knows about everyone." "He knows everything." "And you owe me money." "Well, that settles that." "So if you will kindly tell me who else knows about our shipment." "The package is here." "Berth 19." "We got five minutes until it expires, sir." "All right." "Let's go." "We'll Just have to kill them." "There's a weapon in the shipment." "Some kind of chemical bomb." "We have to get to it before it blows." "I'll hold the fort." "You go get the bomb, go!" "The bomb's at Berth 19." "Chuck, I want you to get far away from here." " I'm coming with you." " You're not going near a live bomb." "Do you know how to defuse a bomb?" "Do you have an Intersect in your head?" "Hey, Chuck!" "Wait!" "Dad, up the stairs." "Go!" "Go, Dad." "Go." "Hey!" "It's over, Yari, drop the weapon." "Okay, you got me." "It's Tommy." "We have a problem." "The package has been intercepted." "We're gonna have to clean things up." "Here, help me out." "Okay." "Okay, Intersect." "Flash." "Show me how to do this." " Did you flash?" " No, nothing." "Come on, come on, come on, baby." "Don't fail me now." "That's enough." "Run, I'll stay to defuse it." " No, I'm not leaving you here." " Go." "That is an order." "No." " I said go." " Oh, I see." "You're gonna shoot me to prevent me being blown up?" " Great plan." " Why are you so stubborn?" "I consider this a moment of courage." "Don't know where it's coming from." " You Just bring out the worst in me." " And you in me." "It was nice knowing you." "Well, the good news is we're alive." "And the bad news is that this is kind of an uncomfortable moment right now." "It's completely comfortable on my end." "Just saying." "Hey." "Look, I know that you are so sick of hearing this but I am really sorry if I've acted like a Jerk." "Chuck, I know who you really work for." "That you're an undercover agent." "How do you...?" "Casey from the Food and Drug Administration came to see me explained that you were an informant." "Right." "My cover has been blown." "I'm an agent for the FDA." "Can I ask you a question?" "This whole time, did you ever really like me?" " Honestly?" " Yeah." "Let's try that for the first time since we met." "Ha." "Lou, you are everything that I'm looking for." "I Just can't look right now." "Well, thank you for being honest." "The next time my phone breaks, I'm going to Large Mart." " Oh, that..." "That hurts." " Ha." " And the next time you're hungry..." " No, no." "Take it to the Wienerlicious." "I'm really gonna miss the Chuck Bartowski." "So am I." "Hey, Lou." "Yeah?" " I'm sorry." " Don't be." "Secret agent or not that was the best kiss I've had in a long time." "Hey, Morgan." "Can I borrow a pen?" "He is so whipped." " Pathetic." "Ridiculous." "Whipped?" "Oh, yeah." "I got a girlfriend now, Chuck." "Ha-ha-ha!" "Anna?" "She couldn't resist my animal magnetism." "I almost feel bad for the kid." "She never stood a chance, you know?" "Anyway..." "Hey!" "You and Lou, this Friday, we'll double date." " Lou and I broke up." " What?" "You're a free man?" "Anna." "Hey, listen, it's, uh..." "It's Morgan." "It's over." "We had a good run, but the lone wolf has to run free." "Okay?" "Chuck and Morgan Train is on..." "Chuga-chug...." "Track." "Ha, ha." "Yeah, not really though because I'm gonna get back together with Sarah, I think." "You couldn't say this 10 seconds ago, huh?" "Anna?" "Honey?" "Sweetie?" "Gotta go." "Whoever shot Yari was here to pick up this package." "Someone who didn't want Yari to talk." "It's all clear." "Looks mean, but it's non-lethal." "That timer wasn't a fuse, it was measuring an oxygen supply." "Captain?" "Captain?" "Decoding completed." "All systems stable..." "This is Sarah." "Please leave a message." "Hi, it's Chuck." "Of course it's me." "It's me." "It's Chuck." "Look, I was Just wondering if you wanna go out on a date tonight." "And by date, I mean no GPS, and no mikes and no chaperones." "It would Just be us." "Oh, my God." "Bryce." "Didn't I kill him?" "I'm thinking maybe we could hit up Sbarro." "They Just named a new pizza after Morgan, and, uh you know, I kind of wanted to support him." "So..." "Okay." "Bye." "Subtitles by SDI Media Group"

"I bet Bill won't let you fly upside down." "Or fly for a rock star." "I mean, if anybody needs a good pilot, it's those guys." "Whenever you turn around we've lost another band to some shitty hack they got flying' 'em." "I mean, it's sad." "Navy pilot coulda saved Ritchie Valens from bein' a one-hit wonder." "That's a fact."

"Admiral, I find the press to be an intrusive presence." "It inspires showing off." "What's so funny, Admiral?" "You, Admiral, are just what the conflict needs." " An uncomplicated man."

"Good to see you." "All right." " Look at you, look at you." " What are you guys doing back on board?" "Well, we just finished up in Sarajevo, and your Admiral wanted us to pump you guys up." "Sounds like Reigart. "Be prepared. "" "Well, it's better to be prepared than to be caught sleepin' in the field." "Don't you forget what you're doin' here." "What we're doing here?" "Are you kidding me?" "Well, I'm eating Jell-O." "Uh, he's wiping' his hands." "You know, everybody has a role to play." "See, me, I'm a marine." "We take care of the serious business." "You, you're a navy pilot, and your role is to eat Jell-O." "You don't get to pick your fight." "It comes to you." "Yeah, I get it." "But at least give me a fight I can understand." "Vukovar?"

" What the hell is this?" " Be prepared." "Thank you." "Maybe he wants to give you his daughter's number." "Did you see Tennessee on Saturday?" "Boy, they looked good." "I don't know anything, Lieutenant." "Now, that is cynical." "And Southerners usually aren't that cynical." "I give you a compliment on how great your alma mater looks, and you think I'm tryin' to pump you for information." "What does he want?" "I guess you'll have to see, sir." "Come." " Lieutenant Burnett, sir." " Master Chief O'Malley, thank you." "Lieutenant Burnett." " Sir, about the football today, I know..." " I have your letter." "I understand you're interested in leaving the navy." "Yes, sir." "It's time to move on." "If you don't mind my asking, move on to what?" "Sir?" "Are you gonna fly commercial jets?" "Troll the friendly skies in a bus?" "You've had an interesting career, Lieutenant." "I remember when you came on board." "Smart as a whip, tons of potential." " Thank you, sir." " And then, on September 23rd, you received a non-punitive letter of caution for disorderly behavior at the China Fleet Club in Hong Kong." "Another letter a month later for something involving Chinese New Year at Pattaya Beach in Thailand." "One can only imagine what that was." "Just out of curiosity, Lieutenant, what happened to you?" "Sir, I signed up to be a fighter pilot." "I didn't wanna be a cop." "I certainly didn't wanna be a cop walking' the beat in a neighborhood no one cares about." "That and the routine on the ship kinda wore me out." " The routine?" " The routine." "What you don't know from experience is that the routine, the systems checks, the drills, the maintaining of discipline, that's what you do to prepare for war." " We're not at war, sir." " Yes, we are." "Unless we're parked in San Diego Bay, you're at war every time you step on this boat." " You understand that?" " No, sir, I do not understand." "If we're at war, why don't we act like it?" "Cos as far as I can tell, we go out, we fly around and we come back." "Maybe we're pretending we're in the fight, but we're not fighting, we're watching." "You should be glad you're not in a fight." "With your attitude you wouldn't last long." "Sir, I've given the navy seven good years." "I think I've served my country." "You wouldn't know the first thing about serving your country." "You have two weeks remaining on this tour." "You will serve them in a manner befitting a naval officer." "I'll keep your letter in my pocket." "At the end of those two weeks, you be on your way." "You're dismissed, mister." "Sir." "O'Malley told me you dropped your letter." "He's tellin' the truth." "So you're gonna break up the band, huh?" "Oh, that's good." "Hey, listen, Chris." "Listen, I thought you were kidding about getting out." "You telling me I gotta find another navigator?" "Is that the deal?" "I can't do it anymore." "I'm done." "I'm sorry." "All hands." "An air contact believed to have originated in the North Pole has been spotted and is inbound to USS Carl Vinson." "No, no, it's good to hear your voice." "No, no."

"" "We're disappointed that we won't be seeing you." "Well, you may get to see a lot of me soon." "Well, we understand." "You got important things to do over there." "Dad, I gotta go." " We're very proud of you." " Dad, I gotta get goin'." " All right, I love you." " Bye." "That son of a bitch!" "Did you see this?" "He put us on the holiday mission." "Goddammit." " Well, at least we get to fly." " Yeah, during the one good meal of the year." " It's almost like he doesn't like us." " No." "You, not me." "You." "Merry Christmas, girls and boys." "On the flight deck it's show time." "Aircraft remaining for the NATO solo photo reconnaissance mission." "Wouldn't it be great to look back and there's Britney Spears?" "But wait, she wants to try flying' the plane." "Yeah, just move the stick right there." "Yeah." "The Cincinnati Accord verifies Serbia's commitment to a lasting peace in Yugoslavia." "I welcome the announcement that NATO will leave the region." "Coordinates 301506.51150 confirmed." "Sectors are all concurrent." " You sure about that?" " I'm readin' it right here, pal." "Yeah, well, uh... the Serbs must've bought some old U-boats, cos we're flyin' over a lake." "Goddammit." "And a warm thank you to the US intelligence community, ladies and gentlemen." "Yet another useless joyride at the cost of mere millions to the US taxpayer." "Hey, hang on." "Scope showing activity in section four alpha to our left." "Must be in that forested area." "That's the demilitarized zone." "There shouldn't be any activity." "Yeah, I know, I know." "But the scope doesn't lie." "There it is." "Let's check it out." "We're not supposed to fly that section." "The brass'll have a shit fit." "Hey, we're on recon, so let's recon something." "Stack, it's probably just some locals fooling around." "Could be a good opportunity to test our shiny new digital camera." "Why do I listen to you?" "All right, let's do it." "ECM is clear." "GPS is synced with new coordinates." "Steady up 0-3-4 and fly the director." " IDEM camera is at speed." " Got it." "Going into burner." "On condition." "Stand by for roll... now." "Rolling digital." "Smile, guys." "You're on TV." " Aren't you gonna miss all this excitement?" " Oh, absolutely." " What is it?" " Holy shit!" "We're being painted!" "What?" "!" "Shit!" "They fired!" "Scoop it, now!" " Pull up!" "Get the nose moving!" " Roger!" " I see a single missile tracking on us." " I don't see it." "Call my turn." "Slice left." "Hard!" "Jesus Christ!" "Where is it?" "Reverse right!" "Try to break the lock!" " Golden Eagle, we have been engaged." " Roger." " Put out decoy flares." " Copy." " No joy." " Where is it, goddammit?" "Where is it?" "!" "I can't see shit!" "Where is he?" "!" "Jesus Christ!" "Second missile in the air!" "Three miles and closing!" " Pull up!" "Change your vector!" " I got him!" "I got him!" "We need a bigger heat decoy." "We're screwed!" "Missile's closing. 2.8... 1.8... 1 mile!" "Drop the fuel tanks and pull up!" "Good fireball!" "Clear on top." "Coming back down." "I got two missiles in sight, both tracking for the fireball." "That's it!" "One down." "Up we go." " Where's the second?" " No joy." "I don't have it in sight." " He's back on us." "Push over!" " Copy." "Hard left." " I'm going for a head-on pass." " Here he comes!" "Head on, right side!" "He clipped us!" "Part of the tail's gone!" " Flight controls going to shit!" " Where is it?" "He's coming back." "Missile arcing right." "Break!" "I got no turn left, Chris!" "The controls are shot!" "Nose break, right!" "Shit!" "Shit!" "Seat eject!" "Eject, eject!" "Goddammit." " You throw a hell of a party, sir." " Yeah, I really like Christmas." "Sir, we've lost a bird, an F-18." "Feet dry." "Ark Angel Zero Six." "Burnett and Stackhouse." "Goddammit." "I put 'em on the holiday mission." " Any beacon activity?" " Not yet, Admiral." "We have a radar plot of flight path from feet dry to last contact." "Here in yellow is the assigned path." "In the red is actual." "Lost contact is here." "They're off-mission." "What the hell happened?" "It'll be tough to pick up a beacon signal, even from a satellite." "The terrain is extremely rough." "Damn weather's sure not helping." "Contact Admiral Piquet, alert NATO chain of command." "Make sure we have a FLASH op rep out over all US national circuits." "And get through to Admiral Donnelly." " No names." " No names, sir." "Stack!" "Stackhouse!" "Stack!" "Are you OK?" "Yeah." " Shit, man." "Are you OK?" " Yeah, I'm OK." "You look terrible." "Yeah?" "Hey, man, that looks pretty bad." "Let me see this." "Oh, man." "Oh, we gotta change this." "We need a field dressing on this." "Shit." "Squeeze right here." "So... where are we, Mr Navigator Man?" "In the mountains north of Miciovic." "You think they saw us eject?" "We are not gonna be around to find out." "Reigart'll be curious what happened to his $40 million plane." "Forget it." "I already tried." "You need to get to higher ground." "What?" "You think it'll work up there?" "Yeah." "Just get high enough." "All right." "All right, sit tight." " Hey, Chris." " What?" "Listen, I should've dodged that second missile." "Yeah, you should've." "You blew it." "You took me down with you." "I thought you had great reflexes." "What happened?" "I used to have, like, a good pilot." "Man, you're slippin'." "You need to watch it." "Oh, God." "Oh, shit." "Urgh!" "Oh, goddammit." "Son of a bitch." "Reconnaissance mission, yes?" "Not bombing mission, right?" "You photograph?" "You alone?" "Correct." "No!" "Alpha Whiskey, this is Ark Angel Zero Six." "Over." "Alpha Whiskey, this is ArkAngel Zero Six." "Over." "Can you read me?" " What is that?" " Sorry, sir." "There's some interference." "It's the beacon from the ejector seat, sir." " Well, shut it off." " Aye aye, sir." "Alpha Echo, Alpha Echo, Alpha Whiskey directs cease buzzer on Zero Six." "Alpha Whiskey, this is ArkAngel Zero Six." "Over." "Do you read?" "Zero Six, this is Alpha Whiskey." "Read you loud and clear." "Go ahead." "Ark Angel is down." "I say again." "Ark Angel is down, and I am on the run." "Slow down." "What is your count?" "Minus one." "Stackhouse." "They shot him." "No names over the net." "Confirm your last." "Minus one." "Confirmed." "Serbs in camo shot my pilot." "You're saying a uniformed soldier killed your flight officer?" "No, I'm saying they executed him." "They talked..." "They were talking to him, then they shot him in the head." "All right, calm down, son." "We're working on it." "Wait one." " How soon can your team be ready?" " We're ready now, sir." "All I need is a ride." "Zero Six, consult your chart." "Reposition to rally point three." "I read 133-41." "Maintain radio silence." "We're comin' to get you, son." "Just get to the rally point." " Understood?" " Zero Six copies." "Out." " Contact Piquet and Donnelly." " Aye aye, sir." "Let 'em know I need a green light to go get my boy." "Command and control comes from Red Crown." "You men have three slicks loaded with 2.75 rocket pods and guns at your disposal." "Use advisedly." "I want gimbal attachments for all fast ropers." "Team leaders report to me as soon as your squad is ready." "Come." "Admiral, what's going on down there?" "We have an F-18 down in southern Bosnia." "One pilot suspected dead." "Who authorized a search and rescue?" " I did." " Call it off." "Stand down, Admiral." "Maybe I didn't make myself clear." "We have pilots down." "One probably already dead." "Admiral, I have spoken personally to Bosnian military commanders." "They say the shoot-down was perpetrated by renegade forces attempting to disrupt the peace process." "Of course they say that." "They're also claiming, Admiral, that your aircraft was way off-mission." "If we fly in there we create a shitstorm, and the whole treaty will collapse." "Admiral, Burnett says that Serb troops murdered his pilot." "Is your pilot an expert on Bosnia?" "Can he distinguish between the uniforms of Serbs, Croats and Muslims?" "Because I can't, and I've been posted here for five years." "If your man is in danger, he should get himself into a safe zone." "That is what he's briefed and trained to do." "Listen, Leslie." "I can have your fleet commander order you to stand down, or you can do it yourself." "Alpha Whiskey, this is Zero Six." "Come in." "Zero Six, go ahead." "Zero Six is at rally point three and standing by." "Zero Six, latest intel says your current location undoable for pickup." "Stand by to copy rendezvous point." "Say again your last." "I am at the rendezvous point." "You need to hump it out to a safe zone." "I set IP Cadillac." "Canada 1-5," "Virginia 2-0." "Read back." "No." "Negative." "Negative." "I do not understand." "Why is this spot not doable for pickup?" "I am good to go." "I say again, I am good to go now." "Burnett!" "Zero Six, you are a combat naval aviator." "Start acting like one." "You've been shot down." "Life is tough." "I am very sorry." "Now you pull yourself together." "You do whatever it takes." "Create some angles between you and your pursuers." "Use your training." "Use your head." "Evade and survive, and we will bring you home." "Understand?" "We will bring you home!" "Zero Six?" "Zero Six?" "Someone's coming." " We lost the signal, sir." " Shit." " Where is he?" "Triangulate his position." " We're on it, sir." "We're tracking him in the SCIF, sir." "On me." "At ease." "Sir, we were able to track the emergency radio signal to somewhere in this radius." "It's pretty far away." "But we think the pilot transmission came from here." "This is imagery from a Northrop Grumman relay satellite downlinked through Stuttgart." "We've hot-wired it for heat image, and it's streaming in now." "This isn't strictly legal, sir." "OK, here we go." " That's Burnett?" " Yes, sir." "Fuck!" "What's going on?" "He's down." "He been shot?" "They're almost on him." "Son of a bitch." " Why isn't he moving?" " Come on, Burnett, move." "They're right on him!" "What are they doing?" "What's goin' on?" "Has he been killed?" "He's moving." "That's him." "Briggs, stay on it." "Resize and widen broadband." " Stay with him." "Stay with him." " Plug it in with NSA." " What the hell's going on?" " Damn it." " That's not us." "The door's closing." " Well, fix it, for chrissakes!" "We're down." "It's cooked." "I want intel on this situation." "Who's chasing him, and why?" "Understand?" "Yes, sir." "Come." "Sorry, sir." "Nothing in the last hour." "I was trying to motivate him, Tom." "Sir?" "Burnett." "In the radio room." "I was..." "I was trying to motivate him, but... maybe I carried it too far." "Called him by his name." "How stupid." "Damn." "Just human, sir." " Tom." " Sir?" "It's why I push 'em so hard." "For times like these." " Permission to speak freely, sir." " Come on, Tom." "You're gonna say whatever you're gonna say." "Don't patronize me." "Sir, what in the hell are we doin'?" "We've got a guy on the ground, and we're sittin' here." "It's a complicated situation." "Why isn't this all over the news?" "Why isn't the president on the phone to Pale, or whoever, makin' sure this kid gets out?" "Well, he was off-mission." "Piquet has a point there." "All due respect, Piquet's got his own agenda, sir." "Now, this kid might not have the best attitude, but he's no idiot." " He says he's gettin' shot at, I believe him." " What the hell do you expect me to do?" "Command tells me I gotta sit on my hands." "What else can I do?" "Right." "I forgot." "It's not your call." "You're damn right it's not my call!" "Apology, sir." "Of course, you can't do anything." "It's been confirmed that an American combat aircraft, an F-18 Super Hornet, has been shot down over Bosnia." "It was hit over Miciovic in southern Bosnia at around 6:00 yesterday morning." "Mr Burnett?" "The pilot is feared dead, but his navigator is believed to have survived." "It's about your son." "Their names are being withheld, pending notification of their next of kin." "We still don't know who shot the F-18 down." "It's the Serbs who control most of Southern Bosnia, but they allege insurgents are to blame, and say they're doing everything to help locate the crew." "It's also unclear what, if any, impact this incident will have on NATO's withdrawal..." "Admiral." "You and I have known each other for how long?" "Five years?" "Something like that." "I've always commended your work to your superior officers." "I've sent you information whenever you requested it." "Thank you, sir." "I appreciate your support." "And this is the thanks I get?" "We have one disagreement over how to handle a downed pilot, and you stab me in the back?" "You go to the media, to my contact, and you make me look like an asshole." "You brought him on my boat." "His press report is accurate." "Our man is down behind enemy lines!" "Now what the fuck is the problem?" "!" "Do you have any idea how much damage this incident may cause to the peace process?" "All I know, Admiral, is that the American people want their pilot back." "Exactly!" "Americans." "All you care about is your own damn pilots!" "What happens when the fighting starts again?" "Will America recommit its forces to stop a major war?" "No." "You don't have any control over that little detail, do you?" "You might have helped save your man today, Reigart." "And I emphasize might." "But you have risked the lives of thousands tomorrow." "Shit!" "Shit." "Argh!" "Alpha Whiskey, Alpha Whiskey, this is Ark Angel." "They've got a signal." "It's Burnett." "Ark Angel Zero Six, this is Alpha Whiskey." "Go ahead, Zero Six." "I'm on course with your last instructions." "Am keyed up and waiting for your..." "waiting for you to name the fairway." "Zero Six, this is Alpha Whiskey." "How you doin', son?" "I don't know." "You tell me, sir." "The hard bit's over." "You need to get yourself, uh, five clicks east, uh, to the sweet spot." "Understood?" "Roger." "Understand that spot to be friendly." "Good for birds?" "That's affirmative." "Spot is friendly." "You need to get there, stay out of trouble and Big Mother will pick you up." "Next contact at, um... 1700." "Roger." "Alpha Whiskey?" "Uh, go ahead, Zero Six." "Sir, I shouldn't have left Stackhouse." "Distract him." "Uh, Zero Six, your last transmission was garbled." "Let's talk about your, um... your gear." "How's it holding up?" "The gear's good." "I have a basic pack." "I left some of it at the crash site." "I guess I got rattled when I ejected at Mach 3." "You still got your boots, haven't you, cowboy?" "Roger." "They were tied on." "You got it made." "You're an optimist, sir." "See, I had you figured for a grouch." "OK, Zero Six, just make it to the RP." "Roger." "Are you gonna be there, sir?" "That's affirmative, son." "Out." "He's here." "Yes, sir." "I suggest we place him here." "It's open ground near the town of Hac, well inside the safe zone." "All right, let's go for the extraction." ".. command area responsibility." "Ingress will be north, egress south." "From the radio contacts, you can see he has basically circled back towards the crash site." "Call sign is "Avalanche. " Authenticate: "Romeo Two, X-ray. "" "Continue: "Bulldog. " Delay: "Cycle. " Abort is "Washdown. "" "Aircraft down is "Cobalt. " Success is "Ripper. "" " Captain, you can take it from here." " Thank you, sir." "Bravo will establish a perimeter, then haul ass back to the helo on my command..." "Admiral Reigart." "Let me introduce Colonel Brigand." "He will conduct the pickup." " Sir, my team is ready now." " Get me Admiral Donnelly." "I have spoken with Admiral Donnelly and have his full support." "You will stand down." "Chris." "Hey!" "Yeah." "You American?" "Nine millimeters?" "Nine millimeter." "Do you have water?" "Water?" "No water." "Thanks." "It's good." "Ice Cube." "Yeah." "I like Ice Cube." "I like all hip-hop, uh, rap music." "West Coast, East Coast." "NWA, Public Enemy." "They said stop, freeze" "I got froze up because I'm public enemy number one" "One, one, one, one" "That's good." "That's good, that's good." "You know where we're going?" "Hac." "Hac?" "That's good." "Good." "Jesus Christ!" "Tell him to go!" "Hey, come on!" "Come on!" "Hey." "Bonjour." "Come on." "Come on, let's go." "Let's go, OK?" "Whoa, whoa." "Hold it." "I'm an American soldier that's been shot down." "Shut up." " What were you bombing?" " No bombing." "We were taking photographs." "Photographs of what?" "Of what?" "!" "Lokar's come back here again, killing everyone." "It's true." "Lokar killed everyone." "Children, women..." "Buried them up in the hills." "In the hills?" "Yes, I saw them." "I saw the graves." "Yes, I saw them." "I saw the bodies in the hills." "Tell him." "I am an American." "I am on your side." " That's what I'm sayin'." "We're on your..." " Then you go outside." "Tell them you are an American." " They don't kill American." " Ice Cube, tell them." "Tell this guy that we have photographs that can help..." "Bullshit!" "America say they make them sign deal." " I swear to God..." " But they already break it!" "America government for shit!" "Now go!" "Hey, hey, hey..." "It's OK." "It's me." "Come on." "Time?" "Three minutes, sir." "Stop!" "Shh." "Let's go." "Reigart." "Leslie, I'm afraid there's bad news." "The Bosnian-Serb Fourth Army Patrol found Lieutenant Burnett near Hac." "I regret to inform you that Lieutenant Burnett is... dead." " I am sorry, Leslie." " Thank you." "There's meant to be a peace deal." "Hac was meant to be a safe haven." "Yet once again in Bosnia, that's proved an illusion." "And in the midst of fighting around the southern enclave," "Bosnian Serb forces announced they'd found the body of the American navigator, Lieutenant Chris Burnett, whose plane was shot down two days ago." "The Serb authorities are claiming he was shot by Muslim guerrillas, opposed to the recently signed Cincinnati Peace Accord." "The Serbs say the body was discovered by one of their teams in a search-and-rescue attempt since the F-18 was shot down two days ago." "This incident is bound to spoil NATO's hopes for a clean exit from the Balkans, and frustrates US military leaders, only days away from a withdrawal from Bosnia." "For NATO's forces on the eve of their departure, the news ofLieutenant Burnett's death comes as another dark blow at the end ofa disturbing and ultimately unsuccessful chapter in the alliance's history." "Savior Six, Savior Six from Gold Eagle command." "Be advised the package is not in position." "Mission is scrubbed." "Return to base immediately." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Wait!" "We're here!" "Come on!" "Fuck!" "Damn it!" "We're right here!" "You've gotta be shitting me!" "Son of a bitch!" "They killed him, and we did nothing!" " Captain..." " We did nothing!" "We did nothing." "We were right here." "We were right..." "Fuck!" "What's that?" "It's not safe here." "We'll keep going." "No." "You go." "They killed my pilot because we took pictures of the graves." "And I know where they are." "And I'm gonna get 'em, so he didn't die for no reason." "Don't follow me." "It's safer here." "Shit." "Goddamn." "Why is this off?" "Why is this off?" "Why is this...?" "Come on." "Come on!" "Goddammit!" "All right." "OK." "OK, come on." "Come on." "Yeah!" "Yeah." "Yeah." "For the information of all hands, this ship will be relieved on station." "It will set course for home base, effective 2300 this evening." " Sir?" "Your presence is requested in the SCIF." " All right, thank you." "It's the homing beacon, sir." "On the second ejection seat." "The only way to reactivate it is from the seat, manually." " How long has that been on?" " Seven minutes." "Sir, you've gotta be very familiar with our systems to reactivate that beacon." " That's Burnett." " Sir, it could be a setup." "It's a radio transmission." "They are hearing the same music." "Sir, I agree." "Sir, we really should notify NATO command, or at least contact Donnelly for clearance." " Of course, that will take a lot of time." " Tom, I get it." "We wait, Burnett dies." "Piquet was very clear with his objections, sir." " You will lose your command for this." " So be it." "I'm not gonna let that kid die out there while we sit around on this ship!" "OK." "All right." "OK." "OK, all right." "Goddamn!" "Gentlemen," "I wanna make one thing clear before we leave." "I intend to put you in harm's way." "Any man who doesn't wish to join this mission, step away right now." "All right, then." "Let's go get our boy back." "About two clicks up this valley, we're gonna make a hard right." "Argh!" "Argh..." "There he is." "There he is!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Damn it!" "What the hell is he waiting for?" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on, kid!" "It's too hot to set down." "We'll have to cover him aloft." "Goddammit!" "Come on!" "OK." "Go!" "Captain, fast rope." "Go get him." "Sir, he's on the rope." " Sniper in the open." " We'll take him." "Come on, son." "Come on!" "Go!" "They got him!" "Pull up!" "Pull up!" "Hey, Chris." "Hey, Glen." "Admiral." "This is why they killed Stackhouse." "Admiral?" "You were holding a letter for me." "I'd like to get it back." "I think I can find it."

" previously on heroes:" "We have a problem with Sylar." "He's gone." "Nathan, what are you" "Hey." "I think i'm in trouble, Pete." "Ever think that we can just live, Noah," " Out in the open?" " No." " I'm a friend, tracy." " What is this place?" "Home, please take this." "To find your way back here." "I pushed Nathan's memories into your mind." "I made your body think that it was him." "I've gotta go find nathan." "Get my body back." "Then I kill every single person even remotely involved." "Police, freeze." "What the hell are you doing?" "I'm crossing that line." "You idiot, you'll die with me." "I know." " [grunts]" " Gun." "[police siren blaring]" " Where is Charlie?" "I'm the only one..." "Who knows exactly where your sweet Charlie is." "And you can save her," "But only if you do exactly what I ask you to do." "I made a mistake about eight weeks ago." "[grunts]" "This green earth has given us so much." "Feels good to give back what we can." "Then why don't you give back Charlie?" "You're an evil man, butterfly man." "You must release Charlie" "From wherever you're holding her." "I have a way for you to earn her freedom." "I met a man eight weeks ago." "He had something I wanted..." "A film from 1961." "His name was mohinder suresh." "I know Dr. Suresh." "I don't need to time travel." "I can find him right now." "Dr. Suresh is dead." "You killed Dr. Suresh." "I need you to go back eight weeks, Hiro," "To a motel room in Texas." " To save his life?" " No, to save that film" "Before he destroyed it." "Once you return, deliver it to me," "Your sweet Charlie will be set free." "I don't know if I can even time travel anymore." "Then you're gonna have to try very, very hard." "Your sweet Charlie's life depends on it." " Samuel." " Yeah." " We're done here." " Let's go." "[grunts]" "So India was connected to Australia?" "Mm-hmm." "As well as Madagascar and most of Southern Africa." "Now together, they made a super-continent" "Called Pangaea." "That is until India broke off and began to migrate north." "Everything keeps changing, doesn't it?" "Indeed." "Come on." "One of the great lessons of plate tectonics" "Is that all things are subject to evolution," "Even the earth beneath our feet." "Remember to read chapter six before class." "Thank you, Dr. Suresh." "Your students adore you, Mohinder." "Teaching is what you were born to do." "It does feel good to be back in the classroom again." "Listen, I was thinking of making lamb biryani" "For dinner tonight." "You promised you were going to throw this away." "I am." "it was delivered over a month ago." "I assumed you meant immediately." "look, it's all of my father's work" "From coyote sands in the '60s." "And I didn't mean to lie to you." "It's just hard to let go." "we have a good life, Mohinder." "A good, simple life here." "Every time you dig into your father's research," "You disappear into a rabbit hole." "It only leads you to a dark place." "Perhaps you're right." "You doing okay?" "You've been sitting here staring at that poster" "For two hours." "You ever wonder what it would be like" "Running off and joining a carnival?" "Oh, yeah." "that'd be a dream come true." "Living with a bunch of fire-breathing freaks." "just because they're different doesn't make them freaks." "Well seriously," "Can you imagine spending your life in some trailer" "Moving from town to town?" "and you spend your life where, in some crappy diner?" "I'm sorry." "are you sure you're okay?" "Yeah." "I'm great." "I'm fantastic." "Oh, my god." "I'm sorry if something's going on, we'll figure it out." "Hey, it's not like I lost my car keys." "I lost a week of my life." "Yeah, and you woke up in a carnival." "You sure you wanna remember that?" "Yeah." "Senator Petrelli, welcome back." "It's good to be back." "Elizabeth, do me a favor." "Will you get my schedule out of the front office, please?" "Sure." "That was awfully casual." "Yeah." "I'm telling you, Pete." "it doesn't make any sense." "What's that?" "Even if my lost weekend was just some crazy bender" "Under the big top," "A senator going off the grid." "That ought to raise one or two alarms," "Don't you think?" "Mom say anything when you talked to her?" "She's in Washington, wants to meet us here." "What are you thinking?" "Talk to me." "I thought I had a handle on this, Pete." "But these last few weeks, it's just been like" "I don't know who I am anymore." "Just the last guy I figured for an identity crisis, Nathan." "[exhales sharply] [knocking on door] Senator?" "Go ahead." "The good news is your day's wide open." "We cleared your calendar when you went on vacation." "Vacation?" "Sir, your mother said you weren't sure" "How long you'd be gone, so..." "My mother." "Right." "Thank you." "Deja vu." "Oh!" "so sorry, you startled me." "Uh, can I help you?" "Rene?" "It's okay." "Did my mother send you?" "don't come any closer." "I've come here to speak with Peter." "Okay." "It's okay. come on." "What are you doing here?" "I came to warn you, Peter." "You need to know the truth." " Freeze!" " Claire." "Claire." "It's me, Tracy Strauss." "And you are breaking and entering" "In my dad's apartment because?" "I really need to see him." "[sighs]" "Yeah, well, that's why god invented doorbells." "I didn't mean to." "I put my hand on the doorknob and it just..." "Look, do you know where he is?" "Something is going wrong with my power." "I can't control it." "I didn't know where else to go." "Tracy, you're freezing." "So this was my mother's idea to clean up Nathan's mess." "She sends you to wipe out our memories." "It's what she wants me to do," "But I cannot do it." "okay, and why is that?" "your mother is blinded by her emotions." "There are some lines that should never be crossed." "why do you keep looking at him?" "it is not up to me to reveal this thing." "The decision must be yours." "The answer you seek is here." "If you go, Peter," "Go alone." "What you discover may be more terrible than you can bear." "This is Dr. Chandra Suresh." "And this is entry number four," "Coyote sands relocation center, march 5, 1961." "I've been trying to alert the authorities here" "To the potential danger of gathering so many persons" "With abilities in one location." "My concern centers around an apparent force" "Small, but measurable" "That emanates from all such individuals." "When two or more of these forces are proximate," "They amplify, exponentially," "Like a kind of gravity or magnetism." "An abnormal spike in seismic activity as of late" "Appears to be emanating from one of the individuals" "Being held here." "A pregnant woman by the name of-- [violent tremors]" "This is entry number 21." "It is my intention to document the birth of the child." "There has been an enormous release" "Of seismic activity throughout the day." "Doctor, he's crowning!" "I fear that this child may indeed-- [tremors resume] I'm coming!" "it's okay!" "It's okay." "[baby crying]" "It's okay, don't worry." "nurse!" "[shivering]" "You okay?" "[shivering slows down]" "That's better." "Why is this happening to me?" "[teapot whistling]" "I thought it would be a good idea" "To make you some tea." "You sure you're okay?" "Thanks, Claire." "[whistling continues]" "[sighs]" "What happened?" "The water started to freeze." "It is happening over and over again," "And I can't stop it." "Tracy, just calm down." "Try to take a deep breath." "Oh, no." "Claire." "Can you hear me?" "Oh, my god." "106." "I really thought we were done" "With this cloak and dagger stuff." "I still can't figure out why the haitian" "Didn't want me in the loop." "Well, does it matter now?" "This just gets better and better." "[metal bangs]" " Check it out." " Yeah." " Are we good?" " Good." " What do you got?" " It's a body." "What is it?" "It's me." "That's not you." "could be, uh..." "A shape-shifter or something, it's not" "There's got to be a reason" "The Haitian wanted you to see this." "This is just weird." " Don't" " Sorry." "You're now Nathan Petrelli." "What did you see?" "Bits and pieces of things." "a hotel room." "Sylar." "Sylar, that's old news." "that guy's been dead for weeks." "I know." "I know." "I heard..." "Parkman." "Matt?" "His voice, he was angry." "Whatever's going on, we're not gonna get" "Any straight answers out of mom or the haitian." " Okay, so we gotta find matt." " Where is he?" " L.A." " Let's go find him." "You sure?" "I'm not sure of anything." "I gotta get you in the bath." "Gotta get you in." "[screams]" "[crying]" " Tracy." "[gasps]" "No, I heal." "I heal." "It's, like, what I do." "[chuckles sheepishly]" "Okay?" "[both laughing]" "You think you ever really know somebody?" "God, are you hearing yourself?" "Yeah." "Okay, you know what i see when i look at all this?" "I see the big brother that would let me win by a nose" "When we would race." "I see the naval officer who would rearrange his leave" "So that I could have a good birthday." "And the past couple years," "I've seen the guy that's saved my ass" "More than a few times." " I made a lot of mistakes." " So have I." "Don't beat yourself up over it." " Senator Petrelli." " Yeah." "I found something." "I just hope this isn't" "The Matt Parkman you're looking for." "He's in a hospital in Texas under guard." "They're saying he tried to commit suicide by cop." "Thank you, Elizabeth." "Multiple gunshot wounds." "Yeah." "He's in critical condition." "You know, Nathan, I can heal people now." "If we could get in, I think I can save him." "Hiro." "tick tock, tick tock." "I'm trying." "you can do this, Hiro." "I have faith in you." "Mohinder?" "Mira." "I've made a remarkable discovery." "There's a power, an actual quantifiable force" "You promised me, Mohinder." "No, Mira, this is important." "Using my father's equations, I built a device," "A sort of compass that I can use to" "Will you listen to yourself?" "You're possessed again by these voices in your head." "Mira, you don't understand." "By following this compass" "If the child on that film is still alive" "And surrounds himself with a large enough number" "Of specials, he can become the most pow" "Stop." "I'm begging you, Mohinder." "Please think very carefully about what you have," "About what you have to lose." "I love you." "But if you disappear again," "I will not wait for you to return." "Can you help him?" "I can try." "[gasping] Matt." "You're okay." "[coughing]" "You're okay." "it's me, Peter." " What happened?" " You're okay." "Good things do come to those who wait." "Son of a bitch, get out of my head." "You're in the hospital, I brought you back." "No, you don't understand." "This is exactly what he wants." "What's he talking about?" "Bring him closer, Parkman." "One touch is all I need." "Then you can have your miserable life back." "I can have my body back." "Shut up!" "you guys, run." "Get away from me before he comes back." " Before who comes back?" " Sylar." " Sylar's dead, Matt." " No, he's in my head." "He's trying to con-- control my mind." "I know this sounds crazy, but if he controls me," "If he gets my power, he's gonna jump back into his body." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "slow down, Matt." "What do you mean, "his body"?" "This should be good." "Nathan, you're-- you're dead." "Sylar murdered you, he cut your throat." "I used my power to purge his mind from his body" "And put your thoughts in." "You're weakening, Parkman." "I'm not gonna let you do this." "I don't have time for all the five stages of grief." "Let's go right from denial to acceptance." "[grunting] [gagging]" "Oh, my-- oh, my god, you son of a bitch." "Nathan." "It's true." "No, no, no." "I'm so sorry." " Stay back." " You're saying I'm Sylar?" "Yes." "But I can make it all right." "All you need to do is take my hand." "All you need to do is take my hand." " Don't. don't take his hand." " It all makes sense, pete." " Nathan, get away from him." " Stop!" "It all adds up." "These new powers aren't mine." " Stop." " They're Sylar's." "I don't exist." "Doesn't make sense." "I don't buy that." "Take my hand, Nathan." "He's controlling you!" " Take my hand now." " No!" "no!" "Do it, take my hand." "I'll kill you first." "Nathan, no!" "It's okay, Pete." "matt's right." "It's time to end it." "One touch, Nathan." "and it's over." "No, don't touch him." "You touch him, he's got my power." "His mind'll go back into his body." "Stop. stop!" "You." "back away from the prisoner." "Take my hand, do it now." "I said, get away." "Back away!" "No!" "no." "Nathan, where is he?" "Nathan, where is he?" "Pete, come here." "We gotta get out of here." "No!" "Nathan!" "Nathan, is he in you?" "You son of a bitch, is he in you?" "They're in here!" "Can I help you with something?" "I hope so." "I'm looking for someone who may or may not even exist." "If he does, his name would be Samuel Sullivan." "I'm Joseph Sullivan, proprietor." "The man you are looking for is my brother." "Come with me." "If my evidence is correct," "Your brother may be capable of magnifying his powers" "Simply by being near others with abilities." "Powers, abilities." "I'd like to help you, doctor." "But I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about." "I thought you were going to build a fire." "Figured, uh, Edgar and Damian could handle that." "I'm Samuel." "Samuel Sullivan?" "Dr. Suresh here has a few questions for me." "He's writing a book on the life of traveling carnies." "People wanna read a thing like that?" "It's a colorful and exotic world." "Why don't you join the others at the fire pit." "I'm sure they could use your help." "Yeah, of course." "I've just traveled 8,000 miles" "To speak with your brother." "If you're gonna try and stop me," "You'd better have a damn good reason." "Please. come inside." "[catching breath]" "Oh, uh, when you came in the room," "I was already dead." "You don't remember seeing anyone else in that room." "You took me to the morgue." "And that's all you remember." "Oh, and do me a favor." "take off all your clothes." "Oh, let me give you my clothes." "Yeah, good idea." "Hurry up, let's go, let's go." "come on." "[grunts]" "Why are we here, nathan?" "I shouldn't be around people right now." "Something happened to me out there, Pete." "What?" "I nearly put you through a wall" "With a flick of my hand." "If Sylar gets into my head" "The way he got into Parkman's..." "I can't risk that with you." "There's a road around here somewhere." "You'll find your way home." "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "Go ahead." "I'll be right behind you." "The images on that film leave little doubt." "The destruction your brother is capable of cannot be" "I am well aware of what he's capable of." "But Samuel himself has no idea." "And it's been my life's work to keep it that way," "To keep him in the dark about the true nature" "Of his power." "Soon after our release from internment at Coyote Sands," "My mother told me the truth about Samuel." "You saw it on film." "My mother lived it." "She knew exactly how dangerous he could become." "I've kept our community small in number" "To ensure Samuel's power remains subdued." "I love my brother." "But he's become a man of great ambition." "Somewhere inside, he can taste it," "The immense potential he was born with." "Under the right circumstances," "Your brother's powers could increase a thousand-fold." "The information on that film" "Burn the film!" "Go back to India." "We must do everything possible" "To keep this genie in a bottle." "How do I know I can trust you?" "I have watched over him for 40 years," "And everything's been just fine." "You're no longer welcome here." "[door slams]" "Mira, it's me." "You were right." "This was all a mistake." "I should have left that film in the trash." "I should have left that box unopened." "I miss you." "I'll be on the next plane home." "Be careful, Dr. Suresh." "Evil butterfly man will be coming for you." "You know, you have not lost control" "Of your abilities in over an hour." "Whatever's happening with you," "I don't think it's physical." "It's psychological." "Great." "I panic attack with powers." "[laughs]" "When did it start?" "Just this morning." "I was sitting in this diner thinking about..." "About what?"

"Caucasian, early twenties, no handbag." "Significant impressions around her body though, she might have been dumped." "Those two find her?" "Yes, college kids from uh, Florida U." "They heard a cell phone ring." "So I'm gonna look into who made that call." "May tell us who she is. / We may have been beaten to the punch." "Ten uniforms at a crime scene, that seems excessive." "Excuse me." "We're gonna have to block up another twenty." "Lieutenant." "We have a VIP situation here." "She's, uh, actually an actress lieutenant." "What's her name?" "Ashley Anders, she does pay-per-view, dvds." "Responding officers recognized her from her films." "So she does adult films." "Yes sir, she's a porn star." "She's also, somebody's daughter, and that, is what we focus on." "Something in her hair Alexx." "Sticky substance." "Doesn't look like a biological." "All right, I'll get it to trace." "In the mean time we've got keys, an mp3 player, and twenty dollars that we found in her pocket." "So I guess that rules out robbery." "I think this rules out robbery." "Hand marks on her neck." "Petechial hemorrhage." "She was strangled." "Looking that way." "So the killer was up close and personal, may be someone she knew." "More than likely." "The thing is, a lot of people knew Ashley Anders." "She had one of the top-selling dvds in the adult market." "I've heard." "Well if this was a sex crime, something doesn't add up." "Vic is fully clothed." " May be they redressed her." " Then they're good honey." "No bunching." "It's tough to redress deadweight." "I'll know more at the post." "Hey. / Hi." "Get anything?" "Well, our victim's family lives in Minnesota," " still trying to track them down." " What about an employer?" "Palm Grove industries, she's made over a hundred films for them." "Palm Grove industires?" "It's one of the biggest corporations in the state." "That's the David Jeffers family right?" "Well, must be why she's being paid by subsidiary company called Fallen films." "Fallen films," "Ok. / Oh, and" "Horatio. / Yeah." "If this case goes into Friday, um, I'll have Hagan fill in for me." " Is that all right?" " You ok?" "Oh yeah, I just um, have plans for the weekend." "Um, no it's fine." "Ok good. / Sure." "Thanks. / Yeah." "¢Ý SiaÀÇ 'Breathe me' ¢Ý" "¢Ý Help I have done it again ¢Ý" "¢Ý I have been here many times before ¢Ý" "¢Ý Hurt myself again today ¢Ý" "¢Ý And the worst part is there's no one else to blame ¢Ý" "¢Ý be my friend ¢Ý" "¢Ý hold Me, wrap me up ¢Ý" "¢Ý unfold me, I am small ¢Ý" "¢Ý and needy warm me up ¢Ý" "¢Ý and breathe me ¢Ý" "Make up off, she looks like the girl next door." "Physical findings?" "No vaginal injuries, I collected a kit." "Doesn't appear to be any biological fluids." "COD, Alexx?" "Asphyxiation caused by manual strangulation." "Killer on top, used both hands." " You scraped under her finger nails?" " I sent the scrapings to trace." "Okay, time of death." "Rigor mortis puts the time of death about ten to twelve hours ago, but I may be able to tell you where she was couple of hours before." "Stomach contents." "Look what's at the bottom." "Looks like caviar." "I'm guessing Russian." "200 bucks a spoon-full?" "She was at a party or a club of some kind." "Okay, I'll have Yelina take a look." "Thank you Alexx." "Hey, What's this about?" "The evidence hasn't been logged yet." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Dad I've gotta go." "The Savannah, I'll see you there, I promise." "Trace said you had the finger nail scrapings from our porn girl." "It's in here somewhere." "You ever seen any Ashley Anders movies?" "Me?" "No." "Where would I see'em?" "Oh, clubs, parties, you know, out." "No, I don't think you and I are going to the same places Valera." "Porns that do martini." "No one's hiding their vices anymore." "Here it is." "Blood and tissue under our victim's nails is from a David Jeffers." "Palm Grove's David Jeffers?" "He's the CEO that distributes Ashley's movies." "I know." "Ran Mr.Upstanding through CODIS." "He's in the system for a stat rape back in grad school." "Ah, that makes him a registered sex offender." "I wonder if it took place in a park." "Matter of fact it did." "Biscayne." "Mr. Jeffers, this is about one of your employees, Ashley Anders." "She was murdered last night." "that's terrible, but I don't know anything about this girl." "My client owns a conglomerate of businesses, one of which happens to distribute adult titles." "It's assuming a lot to think he knows each employee personally." "Oh, CSIs never assume." "We found your DNA under the dead girl's finger nails, Mr. Jeffers." "So, what happened?" "Did things get a little rough after the party last night?" "A party?" "I checked your security log." "Very informative." "Ashley attended your party at this very office, last night." "She had champagne, caviar and got strangled." "So, you two wanna step outside while we execute the warrant?" "It'll be my pleasure to escort you." "Gentlemen." "A meeting with your client Mr. Galas." "A 3000..." "They said the jet'll be refueled by" "Relax David, we don't have to panic." "Don't tell me not to panic." "That bitch screwed us." "It's under control." "The hell it is." "Take care of the Ashley situation or it's your ass." "That was a business discussion." "It's protected by attorney-client privilege." "A judge may not see it that way," " in a murder case." " I didn't murder anyone." "You don't have to say anything David." "I've got nothing to hide." "You were with Ashley last night weren't you?" "I was entertaining some clients and" "I decided to invites some girls to come on over you know, to spice up the party." "Ashley decided she wanted to leave." "I told her I sign your movies, you'd better damn well sell my clients." " I'm sick of this." " You're not going anywhere." " I can't do this anymore." " You leave when I say." " You can't stop me." " The heck I can't." "She scratched my neck, she left, that's all that happened." "My client is a prominent businessman with strong ties to the community." "He has a family and three little girls." "Will they be appearing in your films Mr.Jeffers when they grow up?" "Just out of curiosity." "These actresses have free will." "Besides, it's not like we do gonzo porn, we have story lines, we have plots." "You are a regular Paddy Chayefsky" " Are you arresting my client?" " Not at present." "take care of this Ashley business or it's your ass" "Relax David, we don't have to panic." "Eric, what happened?" "Made a spill, concentrated hydrochloric acid." "What did we lose?" "Jeffer's answering machine tape." "I was duping it for the courts, and the concentrated HCL fumes ruined the Ferric oxide powder that coats the tape's polliment back." "So the tape is spoiled." "Is it salvageable?" "Lietenant Caine, do you really think the CSI responsible for destorying the original evidence should be assigned to the case?" "I don't remember asking your opinion Rick." "Well the commander suggested I may be should check into this." "Find out how this accident occurred, and which employee may be involved in undermining a major murder investigation, not to mention compromising countless other cases." "It is uh, Delko right?" "Eric would you give us a minute please?" "Sure H." "H, see that could be interpreted as a lack of respect for a superior." "You know I am willing to take that chance." "So as his superior, did Delko screw up?" "No, if anybody did, I did." "You did, ha, you weren't even in the building at that time." "Yelina said you were at the PD." "My lab, my oversight." "You cover up a lot of people's screw ups don't ya?" "Delko and evidence, your brother and that girl." "What was her name, Susy right?" "Rick, that is a private matter." "You see, I see a pattern of you withholding critical information and I've opened a file on you." "Walk away." "You ran an outside DNA check through our lab." "That sample was related to the case." "Yes, but that makes it department business." "And by the way, Susy right?" "Her kid, little Madison, it's your brother's kid." "How long are you gonna hide that from Yelina?" "Rick, this is ... an unwise course of action for you." "That a threat?" "Just remember what I said." "And another criminalist will be doing this investigation." "You better find more evidence on Jeffers." "Blonda Palousa?" "28 Lays later?" "She's gotta have her own aisle at the video store." "Yeah, Valera says she's famous." "Well, Valera would know, wouldn't she?" "Hey did you see that dog bowl in the kitchen?" "Yeah, but no dog." "I'll check the local kennels." "Did you clear this side?" " Yeah." "I've got semen on the bed." "Hmm, she is a porno star." "Yeah, but the apartment manager says she never brings guys back to her place." "What about fans?" "Oh good, fan mail." "Yeah, they're all addressed to Ashley Anders, care Fallen films." "I guess someone figured out where she lived." "Okay." "I'll tell you what." "I will process the letters if you do the films." "This is her most recent film." "Well, anything that sheds some light on who this girl might have been." "Well then forget the films." "DVD extras, these discs are backed with them." "Here's one." "Oops." "I think I saw something on the setup menu." "Hello." "Hi, I'm Ashley Anders." "And this is all about me." "I like chocolate and poetry, and long walks on the beach." "I love men who can make me laugh, and I hate mean people." "Okay, Let's see." "Here is another one." "So here I am walking my dog Rufus, like I do everyday." " Wait a second, freeze that." " it's one of my favorite things" "Looks like South Point Park right?" "Yeah, where she was killed?" "Well, you gotta be local to recognize that." "Ashley's fanmail from within a hundred mile radius of from Miami." "And these are the ones postmarked closest to South Point Park." "I have twelve out of thirty letters here from the same perv." "Single-spaced, teeny writing." "I think we've got our stalker." "His name's Ned Ostroff." "You think he licks his envelopes?" "I dunno, let's ask him." "Well, you can ask him cuz I've gotta go to the park and look for Ashley's dog." "There's chance it was with herwhen she was attacked." "See you later." "DNA from the fan mail matches the semen contribution from Ashley's bed." "Contribution was neat." "Thanks Valera. / Sure." "What does that mean?" "That means that we have DNA proof you were in Ashley Ander's apartment on her bed." "It's ridiculous." "I don't even know her." "Well, that much I do believe." "Neat contribution means there was no mixture of fluids." "You were by yourself." "I just, needed to be close to her." "You worked in the mailroom at Palm Grove Industries." "Wasn't that close enough?" "I did a search in human resources." " They confirmed your employment." " Closest I got was boxing her DVDs." "Shipping them." "And introducing yourself to Mr.Jeffers." "Human resources told us that you had to be fired after that Ned." "You've got a little bit of a stalker personality, don't ya?" "Did Jeffers give you a chance to redeem yourself?" "What?" "We have a recording of what appears to be a plan to end Ashley Ander's life." "Did Mr. Jeffers or his lawyer talk you into breaking into her apartment?" "I don't even know what you're talking about." "Excuse me." "Horatio thought you should see this." "Had to wait for the bruising to come up." "Count the fingers." "Not including the thumbs, four on the left, three on the right." "Nine-fingered man." "Birth defect or injury?" "Well I've got all ten." "Can I go now?" "First, let's see if you've had one of those fingers injured." "We'll need your hand print please." "If I say yes, can I see her body?" "Just to say goodbye." "One more time." "We will make every effort to see that happen." "Roll your right sleeve please." "Down on the paper." "Here's Ned's hand." "And here's the killer." " No match." " Are you sure?" "Yeah, interdigital span's too short." "If they put someone up to strangle Ashley, it wasn't Ned." "Why don't we test Jeffers or his lawyer?" "Yeah, I'm working on a warrant." "Okay." "I'll let Horatio know about old Ned." "Got a hit on Tim Speedle, Eric Delko, you too lieutenant." "Unidentifieds please." " Yes, one." " Horatio, this is my investigation," "Joseph, are the prints in the system?" "Carl Mercer." "Carl Mercer's one of our trustees." " Jail trustee?" " That's correct." "The county uses them as cheap labor." "You have an inmate working in your lab?" "Based on the latest run of budget cuts, I do, that's correct." "Do I know you?" "Yeah, I'm the guy you're trying to get fired." "I don't know what you're talking about." "I just empty the trash." "Really?" "Let me see your forearms Carl." "Come on Carl, the forearms." "Carl." "There it is, HCL." "Hydrochloric acid written there by you to remember which acid to spill in my lab." "This dude shows up at my wife's." "Talked like a lawyer, she's never seen him before but somehow he knows I'm in for another DD." "Offered to front the bail." "And all you had to do was spill acid in the lab, right?" "I hope your wife got money for your new charges." "No, I just spilled some stuff." "That's an attempt to destroy evidence in a murder investigation." "Carl, do not feel bad." "You were played by somebody who understands the system better than you do and here's the other good news." "You're not, alone." "H, I'll be in the layout room." "Okay Eric." "I suppose I owe you an apology." "The man you need to apologize to Rick." "just left the room." "Thank you Carl." "Very cagey Counselor." "Always happy to take a compliment, even when I don't know why it's been given." "How about bribing a trustee to destroy evidence?" "How about that one?" "And knowing that the one thing HCl fumes could destroy was tape." "You must've got an A in chemistry." "Are you telling me, you lost the evidence you thought you had on my client?" "No, not quite." "We actually made dupes for the prosecutor and for the defense." "Without the originals you can't prove authenticity." "I can argue that the copied tapes could have been altered." "Speaking of authenticity, have a listen." "It's under control." "The hell it is." "Take care of the Ashley situation or it's your ass." "Now the state's attorney is going to hear that, and as you planning Ashley's murder." "Not so." "Really?" "Excuse me." "Yeah. / Just hung up with the trustee's wife." "She denies the whole thing." " Interesting." " She won't make a statement, implicating our lawyer friend here." "Okay, good to know." "Thank you." "Well Counselor, you just got lucky." "The trustee's wife is too afraid to come forward." "Don't you hate it when the truth doesn't suit you?" "Not yet it doesn't, not yet." "Rufus." "Rufus." "Rufus." "Rufus." "Rufus!" "Hey excuse me miss." "Are we after the same thing?" "Not today, all right?" "Just not today." "Rufus." "No, it's Ashley's dog right?" "I'm with the CSI Miami-Dade." "We think the dog was with her the night she was killed." "Ash and I are best friends." "Were." " We work together." " You're in the..." "I work adult." "Soon as I heard, I went to Ash's place," "I noticed the dog was gone. / Dude," "I told you it was her." "Coquey Divine, you're that chick in the pornos." "Oh no, you guys have me confused with somebody else." "No way." "You're her." "I'd recognize that tail anywhere." " Why don't you guys take a walk." " What are you, her boyfriend?" " You lucky man!" " Yeah buddy, hey hey how about you let us tap some of that." "I'm serious, get out of here." "Yeah, why don't I kick your ass instead." "How about I arrest you, for harassing this young lady and interfering with a murder investigation, how about that?" "No problem here." "We didn't mean anything, sir." "I'm..." "I'm sorry officer." "Get lost." "Can I have your job?" "I got into the wrong business." "Hey, is that him?" "Rufus, hey." "No, don't do that." "He's evidence." "He's been alone for a day." "He's pretty brambled up." "Oh, poor boy." "His ribs are sore." "Tough old guy." "The killer might have kicked him." "Meaning?" "Well, maybe Rufus here, gave him a reason to." "You hold his mouth open?" "You got any floss?" "Are you kidding?" "No." "Let's hope that... he bit the guy." "Horatio?" "Yeah." "David Jeffers has a history of hooking up with young girls, doesn't he?" "How old is this victim?" "How old do you think she is?" "Ashley's real name is Kathleen Sosenko." "ID puts her 21." "So does the birth certificate we got from Jeffers' office." "Let's check, okay?" "Wisdom teeth don't lie." "Third molars haven't grown in yet." "Haven't even started." "Don't your wisdom teeth erupt when you're 18 years old?" "Yeah, they're last to erupt." "The molars are five centimeters below the gum surface." "She's 18 tops." "Okay." "So, she's been appearing in films 3 years which mean she started at 15." "And that is what David Jeffers is hiding" "Hey. / Hey." " What did you get?" " Found the girl's dog, human flesh was in his teeth." "What's the bad news?" " Doesn't match Jeffers' or his lawyer's." "What do we do now?" "Go back to the park and we take up our surveilance again." "There are no camera stations in the park." "But that doesn't mean she's not being watched." "Why am I back here?" "You're gonna help us, Ned." "I already told you, I didn't do it." "Well, first of all, everybody tells us they didn't do it." "And second of all, we already know the things you've done." "And you know everything that Ashley did." "You're a bona fide stalker." "Okay, you've made your point." "You saw Ashley more than anyone else in the last few days, and you also have a breaking and entering charge" "I might be helpful with." "I'm listening." "The night Ashley was strangled, did you see this man?" "Her boss?" "Jeffers." "Nah, he wasn't there." "Okay. / What did you see that night?" "Ashley, uh... was wearing this ruby red gloss, number 6." "And the hoop earrings that her mother gave her." " Did you see her dog?" " Rufus hates me." "I keep my distance when he's around." "I took off when she started talking to some guy." "Which guy?" " Who're you talking about?" " I hate seeing her talk to guys." "Okay." "Ned, who are you talking about?" "Which guy?" "I just took off." "I don't know." "He was wearing a cap." "And uh... a jacket." "With a horseshoe on it." "Jacket with a horseshoe?" "Okay." "A horseshoe doesn't really narrow it down." "We've got everything from boyscout's caps to casinos." "The thing they have in common is they are guy related activities." "True." "There are hundreds of'em." "I don't know where to start." "Maybe we can cross-reference it with her fan mail, we might get lucky." "Maybe we just did." "What if we're not looking for a horseshoe?" "The Greek letter omega." "And I've seen it recently." "I remembered reading this fan letter." "It's a well thought out, and respectful letter requesting Ashley's presence at the fraternity's rotherhood night." "Did she go?" " No, she made a note to herself she'd sign the DVD." "Check out who the chapter vice president is." "Kyle Preston." "The same guy who found Ashley's body." "This is a place of business, Kyle." "So?" " Take off the hat." "Eric will hang it for you." "Go pick it up on you're way out." "What do you doing with my hat?" "Why didn't you tell me you recognized Ashley, Kyle?" " The dead girl?" " Mhm, the dead girl." "The one you wrote the letter to." "Look." "You write a letter to every pornstar hoping that just one say's she'll show up." "I mean, you've gotta get in it to win it." "Clever." "Let me see your leg." " What for?" " Let me see it." "Okay." "Before you lie to me about that, Kyle you should know that I have Ashley's dog who has human flesh in his teeth." "Now, do I need to give you a DNA test?" "Okay, look, I saw her that afternoon." "My girl friend was in class, and I..." "I thought I just go talk to her." "Miss Anders?" "Yes?" "You don't know me but uh..." "I'm huge fan." "Rufus, down." "Sorry." "No, that's okay." "But I was wondering..." "You want an autograph?" "The dog bit me." "Why didn't you tell me this before?" "Because my girl friend hates that I watch porn." "And to tell you the truth, I'm not proud of it either." "Did Kyle have something to do with that girl's death?" "Is there anything you wanna tell me that may help us answer that question?" "The second I heard she was a porn star, alarms went off." "For Kyle, watching it kinda got out of control." "Did you ever watch it together?" "Dorm parties." "But he wanted me to watch them on... with him... we..." " you know." " And you said no." "I've been upset." "We never..." "This is embarassing." "He... uh... couldn't anymore with me." "That's called porn creep." "It get's to be so like I can't be with a real woman anymore." "I thought he got past it, grow out of it." "So did you maybe take matters into your own hands?" "Killed her?" "No." "Why would you even think that?" "Well, because Ashley wasn't sexually assaulted." "The muder was personal, but not sexual." "This is great." "He's into porn, but I'm the suspect." "So?" "The nectar's consistent with the samples from the crime scene." "Good." "Run with it, Eric." "You're not going?" "No, I have some unfinished business but you go for it." "All right." "Thanks for having my back, H." "Always." "Got a time problem, Kyle." "Why, I got nowhere to be." "But you said you spoke to Ashley in the afternoon, correct?" "Yup." "And then you found her body at 6:00 AM?" "After sunrise?" "You see the thing is ... the nectar we found on your hat is from a moonflower, which blooms only at night." "Photosynthetic reaction makes it open when the sun is down." "Must've got it on me when I found her." "You said you never touched her and your girlfriend corroborated that." "That's one true thing you told us." "Thanks." "What happened to your finger?" "Jammed it playing bascketball." "It... it doesn't bend." "I went from starter to bench." "Prison." "You killed Ashley." "You strangled her." "Ashley, in her movies she was always ready to go." "Eyes were on the back of her head." "But Gina... she would look at me." "It was nothing like pornos." "You didn't know how to react." "I was losing my girl friend." "Ashley." " Uh... yeah." " Ashley Anders, right?" "Yeah?" "I was a big fan." "Thanks, I'm..." "I am just... / Don't talk." "But I'm... / Don't freakin talk!" "So what, you figured if you kill Ashley, you'd kill your problem?" "I love Gina." "I just needed to be rewired." "That's why you brought her out there." "For a little victory sex?" "It didn't matter." "Real girls don't turn me on anymore." "Fortunately, for you, where you're going that won't be a problem." "Ashley's birth certificate's been tampered with." "Paper's been chemically treated probably with bleach." "So somebody erased the date and then changed it." "The thing about bleach is it can take some things away, but leaves others behind." "I didn't know she was under age, when she made those movies." "No but when you sold the movies, you did, and that's what the conversations on the tape was about, your plans to sell Ashley's films." "I checked with the Florida UCC filings and found out that Palm Grove Industries, has sold Fallen Films to a Korean company." "Just this week." "And that's why you doctored her birth certificate." "Right?" "We found your finger prints on the paper." "That's felony distribution of child pornography." "That's 15 years minimum." "15 ... was Ashley's age when you started exploiting her." "Even if I had an idea I'm not the bad guy here," "I didn't kill anyone." "No." "But... you created the bad guy." "Snob." "Talking to me?" "I'm Ashley's friend." "You don't remember me?" "Coquey Divine." "Oh, yeah, I'm sorry." "You looked different." "Make up." "You saw me right after a shoot." "I just wanted to thank you for how you dealt with those guys in the park." "Sticking up for me." "Sure. / I mean..." "I know you had to and all, but" " No, I didn't have to." " Come on, it was the badge talking." "You're telling me some other night with friends, you wouldn't have said the same things?" "No." "May be not, but you would have thought it." "I don't mean to insult you... but I haven't seen any of your movies." "So you'd date a girl like me?" "Officially no, because you're a material witness of mine." "So cute, when guys hide behind roles." "But we both know that I'm not exactly the kind of a girl to bring home to mom." "Coquey you're... you're a nice girl." "It's okay." "Really..." "But if you ever wanted to get together for like coffee." "My real name is Sarah." "Sarah Pfeiffer." "Sarah." "Congratulations." "Bag the porn king, his lawyer, and the killer." "It's not bad week's work." "I guess it is not a good week for you, Rick unless you arrested a police offcer, uh?" "It isn't my job to be liked." "Mission accomplished." "Look, my personal feelings may have clouded my judgement on the HAZ-MAT thing," "I'll admit that." "Fair enough." "There she is." "You're ready?" " Yup!" "Champagne's on ice." "Sounds great." "I'll wait for you in the car." "Nothing?" "Well, the truth is she hates champagne." "And you're telling me this because...?" "I'm telling you this because she deserves to be happy." "So have fun tonight." "Thank you."

"Bill, slow down, please." "Stop this." "You're scaring me." "I'm sorry." "She promised she was just gonna look in the window." "I know I made a mistake, but they're her family." "She is a vampire." "She has no family." "I'm a monster and I'm gonna be alone forever because of you." "I hate you so fucking much." "Be quiet." "Eat shit." "I said, be quiet!" "You undermined my authority as her maker." "You risked those peoples' safety and your own." "If I had not glamoured them within an inch of their sanity," "Our lives would have been shattered." "I know." "I'm sorry." "You keep saying that!" "And I am expected to what?" "Forget this ever happened?" "What else would you like me to say?" "I knew when she asked me to take her I should say no," "But all I could think about was gran" "And what I'd give to see her again." "That does not give you license to behave" "Like an irresponsible child." "She is a loaded gun, sookie." "Not a doll for you to dress up and play with." "What are you doing?" "Walking!" "Don't be ridiculous." "Bon temps is nearly 20 miles away." "I'd rather walk all night than spend another second" "In that car with you." "Oh, she wants you to go after her." "And she wants you to go after her and kiss her" "And tell her that you love her." "She will come back." "When she calms down" "She will come back." "Bill?" "Bill, if you're trying to scare me" "So I get back into that car with you, it isn't gonna work." "What the--?" "Sookie!" "Sookie." "Sookie!" "What did this to you?" "Bull-- human" "I couldn't see" "Bill, I can't move." "Sookie." "Sookie." "Oh, gross." "Get the car, now!" "Drive straight home." "But I wanna go with you." "As your maker, I command you." "Sam?" "Yeah?" "I'm short." "I went over it three times." "I-I don't know what happened" "How much?" "Sixty-four dollars and, like, eight cents." "God dammit, daphne, you're gonna have to pay for it." "I'm sorry, but this ia business." "There." "That's all the tips that I made tonight," "So I'm just gonna have to owe you the rest." "Fuck." "You can't expect her to learn" "If you don't give her any positive reinforcement." "Tara, not now." "I'm serious." "Nobody succeeds at anything in life" "Unless somebody leads them." "Let me guess." "Maryann say that?" "What is it with you and maryann?" "What's she ever done to you," "Other than just drop almost $300 in your bar tonight?" "I don't want her in here anymore." "And if I were you," "I'd stay the hell away from her." "You don't even know this person." "Neither do you." "What kind of doctor are you?" "The healing kind." "I'm doctor ludwig, what's your" "Sookie" "Miss sookie stackhouse." "Am I dying?" "Yes." "No." "She cannot die." "You will save her." "Back off, vampire, let me do my job." "Forgive him." "Bill is abnormally" "Attached to this human." "Well, we don't have a lot of choices, she's been poisoned." "You ever heard of komodo dragons?" "Their mouths are teeming with bacteria." "After one has bitten you, it will track you for hours," "Days, just waiting for the toxins" "To slowly eat away at your nervous system" "Till you're good and helpless." "Then it will devour you alive." "I was scratched by a dragon?" "No, but this poison is similar but way more efficient." "I think I've seen it before," "But it's hard to tell without testing," "And we don't have that kind of time." "Give us some privacy." "I neeto remove her clothing." "I will be just outside." "I am so sorry." "She's running out of time, mr." "Compton." "Head of a bull." "That's what she said." "It was dark." "It all happened in seconds." "So you didn't see this, uh, bull man, huh?" "No." "And you gave her your blood?" "It didn't work." "Hm." "You ever heard of anything like this?" "Surprisingly, no." "Pam." "Chow." "I thought in over a thousand years" "I'd seen everything there was to see." "Search the woods around highway 71." "He can do it." "I'm wearing my favorite pumps." "She is extremely lazy." "But loyal." "How's yours?" "Jessica, huh?" "Petulant." "Dangerous." "Afraid." "I'm glad to see you two are bonding." "Being a good maker is very rewarding." "I have to get back to sookie." "Oh, relax." "Dr. Ludwig treated one of pam's humans" "When it was mauled by a werewolf." "Lost an eye, but otherwise he's fine." "What are you doing to her?" "Hold her down!" "Or let her die, your choice." "You're so warm." "And I'm so cold." "Eddie." "What are you doing here, jason?" "I thought we were friends." "You're fucking dead." "I saw you die." "this ain't real." "This ain't real." "Does this feel real?" "Dear god," "You gotta help me out," "Because, uh," "I don't know what's right and wrong no more." "Maybe I never did." "Just-- god, please." "Please." "Give me another sign." "Because..." "I'm lost." "I'm so fucking lost." "There's your sign." "Now, shut up." "Someone's trying to sleep in here." "Ow." "You can give her blood now." "Her body should accept it." "Mine is much stronger, allow me." "Never." "Sookie, can you hear me?" "You must drink." "I'll expect my payment by the end of the week." "It's always a pleasure doing business with you, dr." "Ludwig." "Fuck off." "Clearly the pleasure was one-sided." "Well, she's no fan of the fang." "She tolerates us," "Because our blood is of such great value to healers." "Be careful." "You'll overcook her." "All right." "Thank you." "The area has been scanned." "Tracks were human," "But the smell was distinctly animal." "What kind?" "A filthy one." "We didn't recognize it." "How intriguing." "Send an alert through the appropriate channels." "Find out what the neighbors know." "And pam." "Those were great pumps." "I don't wanna move her." "Of course not." "I'll make sure she's taken care of." "I'm not leaving her." "Longshadow kept a coffin in back." "He liked to feed before resting, so it might be a bit messy," "But you're welcome to it." "I wanna thank you for your hospitality." "And for saving sookie's life." "I'm sure there's a way she can repay me." "Mm." "That's delicious, karl." "Could use a little more juniper, don't you think?" "Yes, yes, of course." "You're right." "Mm." "What's all this?" "Oh, I'm having a few people over." "How many people?" "You know, I don't remember." "Sit." "Karl will make you some breakfast." "That's okay." "I'm more of a breakfast- for-lunch kind of girl." "But coffee's great." "Thanks, karl." "I don't think I'll ever get used to people" "Just doing things for me without me even asking." "Well, karl knows that if he wants to find real fulfillment" "In life, he need to learn to be of service," "So everything he does for us is really a selfish act." "Maryann, why does sam hate you?" "Sam hates me?" "Practically jumped down my throat" "After you left last night." "Kept saying I need to stay away from you, why would he say that?" "Well..." "I mean, I barely know the man," "But if I had to guess," "I'd say jealousy." "You two have a history." "Yeah, but we're better as friends" "Than we ever were at sleeping together." "We both know that." "Tara." "Still not valuing yourself." "You are a fantastic woman." "Sam lost you." "He's just looking for someone to blame." "But why you?" "Mm." "Because you've moved on." "And hopefully I've been a part of making that happen." "Uh." "Sam seems like a sensitive, wonderful guy," "But all my instincts scream, "unevolved."" "You're right." "That man has way too many issues." "And they are not your problem." "Unlike karl," "You've done enough taking care of people" "To last a lifetime." "Holy shit, that's beautiful." "It's even got a filter?" "Little technique I picked up in ibiza." "Adorable, isn't it?" "Oh, fuck it." "I don't have to be at work till 4:00." "Hey, terry." "Thanks for coming." "Taking a trip?" "Something like that." "Where to?" "Not sure yet." "Well, I ain't been a lot of places," "But better here than all the places I've been." "Yeah." "Hey, so listen," "I was hoping you'd take care of the bar for me." "You know, just till I get back." "Yeah..." "I-I don't know, sam." "I like cooking." "It's quiet back there and..." "Mm-hm." "I ain't so good with people." "If I were you, I wouldn't be my first choice." "Well, actually, you're not." "I can't reach sookie." "And who knows where the hell lafayette is," "Arlene's got enough on her plate," "And tara-- don't like feeling the pressure." "Tara's" "She's going through some personal stuff right now." "So you're all I got." "You do it for me, buddy?" "Well, I guess I ain't got no choice." "I appreciate it." "Appreciate it, I'll get you a set of keys after closing." "So you're just gonna cut and run." "Just like that." "I'm not running." "Uh-huh." "Remind me never to get stuck in a foxhole with you." "Coward." "He used me up." "Till he got bored." "And then he left me to die." "I thought he loved me," "But I was nothing," "But his living, breathing, snack machine." "Thank you for sharing your story, missy." "That was very brave." "May his holy light shine on you." "Praise the light." "Praise..." "Light." "Jason?" "Is there something you'd like to share?" "N-no, thank you." "I ain't much of a sharing kind of guy." "Remember, we all signed a vow of honesty." "Are you wearing your honesty ring?" "Yeah." "All right, but, uh," "You ain't gonna like it." "Pretty much goes against everything y'all been saying." "You're safe here." "I ain't a vampire victim." "The fact is they have never done nothing against me." "My sister's dating one," "And from everything I can tell," "He seems to treat her pretty decent." "Well, except for the biting," "But I think she likes that." "oh, no, please." "What?" "Go on." "Um." "My girlfriend, she staked a vampire right in front of me." "His name was eddie," "And he was gay," "But he-he was a real nice person." "He wasn't a person, jason." "A person wouldn't do that." "Would they?" "Well, my gran and my girlfriend were killed by my best friend" "Just because he had a problem with vampires." "And he was a person." "Uh." "Huh." "Look, I'm only here because I thought god wanted me to be." "Thought maybe he had a purpose for me." "Some shit like that." "Beginning to see that was just wishful thinking." "Now, jason, wait." "Becky, take over for a second." "Sure." "Let's pray." "Hey, jason." "Just talk to me." "There ain't nothing to talk about." "No." "The first time" "I laid eyes on you, I knew there" "Was something special about this one." "I knew the lord had sent you to me," "But it wasn't till today that I knew why." "Why?" "Because we're so much alike." "Sarah" "No, but-- we wanna see the best in others so badly," "That sometimes we overlook the worst." "That kind of does sound like me." "When the vampires came out of the coffin," "I went with my big sister amber to March for their equal rights." "Really?" "Two months later, amber disappeared." "Got hooked on v." "I know they killed her." "Got rid of her body in whatever way they do." "I'm sorry." "They stole my sister, jason." "The same way they stole your girlfriend and your grandmother." "D I know you believe eddie was your friend," "But think about it." "If his kind never existed, the people you love" "Would still be alive." "You're saying..." "If I hadn't been too messed up to protect them," "That they'd still be here?" "No, you're just human, but vampires" "Everything they are, down to their very blood," "Is seductive." "God." "Ah." "I should have done something." "Could have saved gran, amy..." "All of them." "I know how much it hurts." "Trust me, that's why" "If we can protect even one family" "From this kind of suffering," "Then all the loved ones we've lost," "Their deaths won't have been for nothing." "You know, sometimes..." "I wish I was dead too." "But you're not." "God needs you." "No." "No." "You don't have to carry this alone anymore." "Give yourself to his light." "Let him carry this pain for you." "Pray with me?" "Okay." "Heavenly father," "Bless jason," "And protect his sister," "And all those who are still out there lost in the darkness." "You're awake." "I made you a two-top sandwich." "Peanut butter and chocolate syrup." "That's very..." "Thoughtful, ginger." "Oh, that's the thing about being with vamps, ain't it?" "You always forget to eat." "I've lost 37 pounds since I got this job." "Way better than a fat farm." "Did bill leave?" "Oh, he's resting in back, I think." "Do they make you stay here every day?" "Well, sometimes I just come in for deliveries," "But these days I've been coming in for" "Heh." "Ha-ha." "Never mind all that." "You just finish up your sandwich and go back to sleep." "Oh, my god, I almost told her" "About her friend lafayette in the basement." "Eric says I can't tell her." "Lafayette?" "Why would eric have lafayette in the basement?" "I just work here." "Please don't make me use that gun under the cash register." "Take me to him!" "Now!" "Oh, my god." "Lafayette." "Lafayette." "Sookie." "Is that really you?" "What have they done to you?" "Do I look like a vampire?" "You look awful." "I feel fucking worse." "I guess that means I ain't a vampire then," "Which is good." "Uncuff him." "I don't have that key." "I swear." "Eric's gonna be so mad at me." "Jesus have mercy." "I'm gonna get you outta here." "I promise." "That's a new song?" "Yeah." "I didn't get serious about this till recently," "So I got a lot to learn." "Sounding pretty good to me." "Mm." "Nice, I just, you know, I love music, I just" "Wasted most of my life" "Trying to avoid doing the shit I love the most." "Why?" "I-I-I guess I just felt like, um" "If I was good at something," "It's probably just a waste of time," "And if it felt good I probably didn't deserve it." "You know, um, a couple days after, um," "Maryann took me in, she put this guitar in my hands," "And I cried like a fucking baby." "Was the first time in my life anybody's actually ever" "Encouraged me to do anything." "So..." "I'm sorry." "I" "Don't apologize." "Only thing my mama every encouraged me how to learn" "Was how to pour whisky." "Heh." "Oh, fuck me." "What?" "what?" "I was supposed to be at work 45 minutes ago." "I can give you a ride, now." "How many of those have you had?" "Four?" "I think one dui between us is enough, don't you?" "Besides, I am way too fucked up" "To deal with sam merlotte right now." "Well, is he gonna fire you?" "Maybe, but it's just a job." "And I go through those about as fast" "As I go through relationships." "Maybe you haven't found the right one yet." "I've had a lot of jobs." "I ain't talking about that shit." "You still angry about our fight?" "Sookie, none of that matters anymore." "You're right." "I'm alive and in one piece," "Unlike my friend lafayette" "Who eric chained up like an animal" "And left to bleed to death." "What?" "You better not have known anything about this," "Bill compton, because if you did," "I don't think I could ever forgive you." "I have no idea what you're talking about." "The human that traded sexual services with a vampire" "In order to sell his blood." "Which, as you know, is a grave offense." "His name is lafayette" "And you ought to be ashamed of yourself" "For what you've done to him." "Sookie." "I'm glad you're feeling better." "And may I add, that color suits you very well." "Go to hell." "Sookie, enough." "Oh, it's not nearly enough." "They've tortured him and bitten him and shot him" "And kept him down there in his own filth for weeks." "Is this true?" "There are others who would have done far worse and you know it." "You're gonna let him go right now," "Or I swear, I'm going to the police." "I do not respond well to threats." "But perhaps we can come to some sort of arrangement." "Please." "Hey, tara." "So I guess you're not coming in tonight." "I get it." "You're pissed at me for what I said about maryann." "Look." "Tara, I know you're smart and you're tough," "And you can take care of yourself," "And that's all I'm asking you to do." "Okay?" "Just keep your eyes open." "And take a good look at the people around you." "And be careful, okay?" "Just be careful." "I know." "I know I'm late, I'm sorry," "But lisa decided to give coby a nose piercing." "Like she saw on america's next top model." "Well, now he's got an infection" "It's okay, arlene." "Just go ahead and get changed." "Uh, is everything all right with you, sam?" "Yeah." "Yeah, everything's fine." "I thought, uh," "Sookie's supposed to be working tonight." "She was." "She called and asked me to cover for her." "Lord knows I owe her one after-- you know." "Nice and understanding looks good on you, sam." "Hello?" "Anybody home?" "Bill?" "Sookie." "Chick, two o'clock." "Hi." "Hi." "You mind if I join you?" "I-- uh-- I mean, if you're alone." "I'm alone." "Hi, I'm hoyt." "Jessica." "So this might sound kind of funny," "But I was just sitting there, thinking," ""how come you don't ever meet a nice girl, hoyt?"" "And then you just walked right in." "How do you know I'm a nice girl?" "Because of your smile, I guess." "You can tell a lot about someone by the way they smile," "And, uh, you know," "I watch people all the time." "You see, oh, like that." "That's beautiful." "I could just" " I could stare at that all day long." "Day?" "Yeah, right." "Huh." "Did I say something wrong?" "No." "Course not." "Okay." "Okay, good, because I-I don't wanna..." "Scare you away" "Would you like a drink or someth-- or-or food?" "Um." "You hungry?" "You should try the chicken fried steak," "Because it's, uh, oh," "It's like a chicken and a steak got together and made a baby." "It's delicious." "Crispy, baby, and um..." "I'll just have a bottle of tru blood." "B positive." "You're a vampire?" "For real?" "Wow." "Wow, that is awesome." "A-a bottle of tru blood." "Coming right up." "So if I agree to go to dallas" "To help look for this missing vampire," "You'll let lafayette go?" "You nearly died last night." "You are not going to dallas." "Bill, I can make up my own mind." "I'll pay all of your expenses, of course," "And yes, I will release your friend." "And I want $5000." "I've missed a lot of work and I need a driveway." "Your human is getting cocky." "She will take $10,000 and I will escort her." "I don't thinks so, no." "Yes." "Ten thousand and bill comes with me or it's a deal breaker." "You surprise me." "And that is a rare quality in a breather." "You disgust me." "Perhaps I'll grow on you." "I'd prefer cancer." "You need to leave immediately." "I will make the travel arrangements," "But I will need your credit card number." "Oh!" "Such a shame." "I was hoping I could" "Convince eric to let me keep you." "No, you already have enough pets." "No offense, but you ain't exactly my type, bitch." "Can I kick him?" "You can try." "Enough." "Have chow fetch their car." "I'll see you around, I'm sure." "Oh, don't bet on it, baby." "I'm retiring." "I'm done with you crazy-ass fuckers." "Done." "best soup I have ever had." "she's a titty!" "that's right." "Right when I thought this party" "Couldn't get any fucking weirder," "Look who shows up." "Thinking andy bellefleur got better shit to do," "Like, I dunno, solve a murder." "Well," "You know what they say about all work and no play." "Seems like you're pretty familiar with the idea." "It was your fault I missed work in the first place." "You're just too damn distracting." "Mike spencer." "Howdy, andy." "Great party, huh?" "Less talking." "More dancing!" "Jade bokowsi, you are one fiery little hellcat." "Come on." "What you doing in there, pig?" "Detective Bellefleur?" "I'm so glad you made it." "Actually, I'm here because" "There have been some complaints about the noise." "Oh." "And they sent their best detective to deal with it?" "Well, I am flattered." "But sheriff dearborne" "Should really put your talents to better use." "I'll go turn off that music right away." "Hate to be a party pooper," "But you got a livestock permit for that pig?" "What pig?" "That pig." "Oh, I don't know what you're talking about." "It was there a second ago." "Have you been drinking?" "No, dammit." "I know what I saw." "I know what I saw, I'm a good cop." "Of course you are." "Everybody knows that." "Here." "Why don't you stay and relax a little bit?" "Just one." "I am on the clock." "Come on." "Yes, god is love." "He's the force of love," "But how do we respond to forces that block, undermine," "And destroy love?" "Well, you cannot love evil." "You have to hate it." "So hating evil is really..." "Loving good." "Good." "I never really thought about it that way." "Hate isn't just natural, jason." "We need it in order to survive." "My father" "Dedicated his life to god." "To protecting the human race." "They murdered him, his wife, and my baby sister" "In cold blood." "They're baby-killers." "That's what they're capable of." "Now, if I didn't hate vampires," "And do everything in my power to avenge my family's death," "What kind of man would I be?" "Um, a pretty bad one." "And what's going on out there is a war." "Not right now, jason," "But in general." "And we all gotta choose sides." "Now, you're either on the side of darkness," "Or the side of light." "Light." "There's no in between." "Hope you boys saved room" "For some banana pudding." "Oh, thanks, honey." "Oh, sarah's pudding is a little slice of heaven." "Oh, don't go bragging on me in front of the company." "Well, you stop being such an angel and maybe I will." "Mm." "I'm gonna go get the whipped cream." "Whoo." "You know, my wife must think you're pretty special." "Really?" "Well, sarah doesn't whip out her pudding for just anybody." "God's got great things in store for you, jason stackhouse." "Can you feel it?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I feel it." "I always wanted to see the inside" "Of vampire bill's house." "You get to live here?" "It's pretty cool." "Not really." "I mean, it's full of his creepy old stuff." "He makes me sleep in a hole." "Yeah." "My mama keeps her doll collection in my closet." "Oh, you got a wii?" "A what?" "A w-- you never played a wii?" "Oh, you'll love it." "Yeah, so you can race cars, um," "Or you can play tennis," "Or you can-- you can dance." "Uh." "Or you can shoot people." "Well, I've never done any of that." "Well, here, I'll show you." "So, uh, may I?" "Okay." "So these are the controllers." "You just hold that like that." "No, no," "Don't do that." "You don't have to hide that from me, that's natural." "How can you say that?" "I mean, I have fangs," "And they just come out and I can't control them, and" "This is so embarrassing." "I'd die if I wasn't already dead." "Don't be embarrassed about what you are." "Because what you are..." "Is great." "You think I'm great?" "I like you." "I like you a lot." "And that's why I think we ought to wait," "You know," "Before we do anything else." "I've waited too long already." "You sure we can't take you to the hospital?" "The jobs and I still ain't got no health insurance." "Besides, the bullet went straight through," "I'll get my uncle stitch it up in the morning." "Your uncle the veterinarian?" "He chops off steer nuts for a living," "He can handle the few stitches." "Don't worry, sook." "I'm fine." "You don't look fine." "Far as I'm concerned, I spent the last two weeks" "At club med." "Drinking a mgarita and getting my chest waxed." "And I appreciate it if you tell" "Your friends that's how I remember it." "That would be wise." "At least let bill help you inside." "No." "Sook, I said I'm fine." "I used to get so mad" "When people judged vampires just for being different." "It's like they were judging me too." "I told myself their fear was nothing but small-mindedness," "But maybe that's just what I wanted to believe," "Because the more open my mind gets," "The more evil I see." "Sookie." "Most of us, vampire, human, or otherwise," "Are capable of both good and evil." "Often simultaneously." "You can't expect me to believe" "That eric's capable of anything good." "Not after how he tortured lafayette." "I have had worse sheriffs." "I don't understand how you can defend him." "He saved your life." "I can still hate him." "I hate that he may be putting you in harm's way once again." "For his own selfish reasons." "And I hate that he has shown you the barbarousness" "That we call justice." "If I could glamour it away for you," "I would." "I'm glad you can't." "I'm sick of things sneaking up on me." "Rene and whatever the hell that was that attacked me last night." "If I'm never gonna be safe," "I'd rather know what to be afraid of." "Well, after last night," "I hope that that doesn't include me." "I know there's darkness in you." "I know there is." "And it scares the life out of me." "But you're right." "There's goodness in you too." "And when I look in your eyes," "That's what I see." "I feel so unbelievably fucking good right now." "Hm." "That's how you feel to me too, baby." "Got room for one more?" "You guys are so beautiful." "I'm a licensed massage therapist." "Who wants to go first?" "Oh, you got a big knot right there." "Tara." "Oh, come on, tara." "Hey, tara." "Hey, come on." "That girl in the tub was drunk, I don't even know who she was." "Looked like you wanted to know her a lot better." "I just got carried away, that's all." "Yeah, you and everybody else out there." "Is this what maryann's about?" "Are you in the lifestyle?" "Lifestyle?" "Tara, that's just a bunch of drunk-ass people" "Trying to let loose, have a good time." "That's got nothing to do with us." "I don't give a crap what people do with their own body parts," "But there's no us if this is your scene." "God dammit." "Aw, hell." "I wasn't gonna run off without saying goodbye to you." "I'm sure gonna miss you, buddy." "Huh?" "All right." "One last time." "Let's go." "Come on." "Oh, you can't keep up with me." "See, I knew it." "Underneath that tough vampire exterior," "You're nothing but a big softie." "Don't tell anybody." "Wow, that's a lot of pink, bill." "I'm sure jessica will love it." "Yes, well," "I remember when ladies' clothing stores sold petticoats." "Heh, that's just weird." "Actually, I kind of miss them at times." "They left something to the imagination." "Unfastening them required a certain skill." "I think there's a Halloween store around here" "That might still have some." "You are such a tease." "I wasn't doing anything," "I wasn't gonna bite him, I swear." "It's okay." "Bill, don't." "What's your problem?" "Come on in, the water's warm." "Fine." "Suit yourself." "Were you just talking to that dog?" "Daphne." "What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?" "Same as you, I guess." "Just trying to cool off." "And I can't sleep." "See, I have this hard-ass boss," "Who really laid into me this week." "Heh." "Sounds like a jerk." "He's not all bad." "He can be real nice." "To dogs." "Listen, I'm sorry." "I've had a lot on my mine." "Mm-hm." "I know how hard you're trying," "And I think you're starting to get the hang of it." "I really do." "You're even worse at lying than you are at being a boss, sam," "But I'll take what I can get, so thanks." "You're welcome." "This water really warm, or you lying about that too?" "Oh, no, it's great." "Nothing like a midnight swim to wash away the troubles." "You should try it sometime." "Yeah, I think I will." "You mean now?" "It's a big lake, sam," "I think there's room for both of us, ain't there?" "Yeah." "Yeah, yeah." "Guess so." "Come on in."

"Where are you going?" "Let go." "I'm going to the hospital." "Come on, baby." "Come here." "Today you work the night shift." "I told you, I'm covering for a friend who's getting married." "Good morning!" "Aren't you going to the university?" "We already made love three times." "We haven't been together for a week." "Besides, between your night shifts and my fucking exams... we never see each other anymore." "Here | go." "Get ready." "There." "Just like when I had that body cast in the hospital, remember?" "Sorry." "I'm going to write my parents a letter." "To let them know we got married." "And that I don't give a damn about finishing my master's in international law." "Shit, let them disinherit me!" "All I want to do is drive racecars again." "And spend all day with you." "I'm tired ofthis suite." "We have to get our own apartment." "Baby!" "You should go visit your parents." "You want to go?" "Where?" "Monterrey?" "As soon as | get my vacation." "They need me in the hospital." "Quit." "As your husband, I refuse to let you work anymore." "Especially at night." "You're jealous." "We agreed I could go to the hospital, it's myjob." "Come on." "Entertain yourself with this." "Fifteen minutes, okay?" ""Entertain yourself with this."" "To Santa Maria La Ribera, please." "Because you were born under...." "Hi, Dad." "...under the sign of Pisces... a water sign." "It makes you a woman... who is a dreamer... but creative." "I understand that, Don Gregorio, but how can I settle down?" "You're a very lucky lady... because your Leo ascendant... gives you the anchor you need." "And where is this Leo?" "Here." "Can I come in?" "Just a moment, Dad." "I'll be right with you." "Come in." "Dressed again as a bride?" "You're obsessed!" "It's for an experimental film that some friends are making." "Take care, okay?" "The time has come." "With Venus and the moon in Aquarius." "Although everything is favorable... stay close to her." "Don't let her out of your sight." "Have you heard the good news, miss?" "The Salinas' fortune is back in the country?" "That's wishful thinking!" "No." "They found a cure for AIDS?" "Iwish." "No." "Haven't you heard that nowadays... you can know who you were in your previous lives?" "Through the Internet." "Your bouquet, miss." "I hope you have many days like today." "Darling." "I brought you this orange blossom to make you look handsome." "Hi, congratulations." "Hi." "Hold this." "Sure." "Congratulations." "Carlos... do you take Esmeralda to be your wedded wife?" "To have and to hold... for better or for worse... in sickness and in health... to love and to cherish... as long as you both shall live?" "Esmeralda... do you take Carlos to be your wedded husband?" "To have and to hold... for better or for worse... in sickness and in health... to love and to cherish, as long as you both shall live?" "Yes, I do." "Arrest her." "Yes, boss." "Are you sure?" "Of course." "Arrest her." "Hey, Father." "Aren't you going to ask if anyone knows why they shouldn't wed... to speak now or forever hold their peace?" "No, sir." "The banns have already expired." "But there isn't just one." "There are five reasons why they shouldn't wed." "What's wrong?" "Easy, easy." "Don't worry." "I'll explain later." "Wait." "No, stay here." "This woman, Esmeralda Loyden... is married bylaw and the Church... to Pedro Lugo Alegria." "And in alphabetical order... to Lara Cepeda, Virginio..." "Martinez Cruz, Jaime..." "Rossellini Gaitan, Antonio..." "and Vallarta" "Jorge Luis." "THE JOCKEY IS A WOMAN Esmeralda Loyden and her 5 husbands" "El Universal Grafico FIFTH TIMES A CHARM!" "Here." "Put them in my closet." "I left the keys in...." "Oh, yeah... in my transparent bag." "Because I gave it to someone when I arrived at the church... but I don't remember to whom." "Ma'am?" "Forgive me." "They're right when they say... that the gods punish humans... by granting them their wishes." "Since you were a girl, I've filled your head... with the idea that... getting married in a white dress... was the greatest thing you could aspire to as a woman." "Now I'm going... to confess... something that has been a family secret since...." "Your mother... and |... never got married." "She didn't want to." "said that... the only valid bond... in acouple... was their love." "Ma'am." "Ma'am, please?" "Keep this for me." "Take care of yourself." "Over here." "I'm sorry." "Ma'am?" "Please, call me Esmeralda, okay?" "Come here, please." "But don't you suffer?" "Me?" "Yes, you." "Just a little, when my shoes are too tight." "I'm referring to your situation, ma'am." "And the consequences it may have." "Doesn't that worry you?" "Did you have to work hard to get where you are now?" "Oh, I forgot that your idea of work is a bit strange." "I am a registered nurse." "I can show you my diploma right now if we go to my house." "Your house." "Your house?" "The one in Santa Maria La Ribera." "Can I make a phone call?" "Why not?" "I have to tell him I remember who has my bag." "Because we're in the middle of an interrogation, ma'am." "I'm writing up a report." "And if| have to go to the bathroom, do I have to hold it?" "Who did you want to call?" "My dad." ""My dad."" "So, to top it off, you have a father." "Yes." "My daddy." "He brought me these clothes." "Oh, really?" "And does your dad... know the kind of daughter he has?" "I'm a lot like him." "Really?" "And when do you see him?" "I try to spend the weekends with him." "Every Saturday and Sunday?" "Well, no." "Sometimes an emergency pops up and I can't go." "But I always call him and let him know." "do you let them know, too?" "Cambiaso?" "One moment, please." "Try not to sing and rock your chair, ma'am." "This is a police station." "No." "No one named Cambiaso works here." "Garcia?" "Where is Lucita?" "Have her come take a statement." "Judge Solorio wants to see you." "Make my dreams come true." "Good afternoon, Judge Solorio." "Come in, come in." "How many copies do you want?" "Ten." "I knew it." "Really?" "How many times have you been arrested?" "Never. | just saw what was in the trashcans." "I'm very observant of certain things." "Yeah, sure." "You must be." "In order to keep up such a relationship... for seven years." "She crosses and uncrosses her legs... showing her knees, golden... round... perfectly shaped." "Okay." "Let's see." "What's your name?" "Esmeralda Loyden, at your service." "Age?" "Forty-two." "Marital status?" "Oh, no." "Birthplace?" "Mexico City." "From the capital?" "Yes." "Home address?" "Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz 61, Apartment 3." "Borough?" "Santa Maria La Ribera." "Postal code?" "I don't remember." "Profession?" "What's yourjob?" "What do you do for a living?" "|'m a nurse." "Excuse me, Judge, the address that I gave you is my father's." "You have the other addresses." "Okay." "We'll check the records." "Are you following us, Lucita?" "Yes, Judge." "Good." "Catholic?" "Yes." "Practicing?" "Yes." "| always go to mass on Sunday." "Why, she even looks like a virgin." "No, a saint." "Okay." "Let's see, Garcia." "The case we are dealing with now is number... 132... 67... 63." "The charge is... quintuple bigamy." "Quintuple, Judge?" "There are five, aren't there?" "Yes, Judge." "But only one is filing charges." "But she's married to five, isn't she?" "Yes, Judge." "We||, write this down, then." "Lucita, please, take note." "Why are you talking to the defendant?" "Lucita." "Listen, Garcia." "Get rid of all those dinosaurs." "They're incredibly childish." "Talk about a third-world country!" "let's see the first certificate... of Querétaro." "The State of Querétaro." ""I certify that in the marriage register..." ""of the registry under my supervision, in page 18 ofthe year 1984..." ""onJune2, 1984..." ""Mister Jaime Martinez Cruz..." ""and Miss Esmeralda Loyden Monroy..." ""appeared before me with the intention to wed..." ""under the regulations of Joint Ownership of Property."" "There are four more certificates... just like this one." "Only the names ofthe bridegrooms change." "Because there is no change in the bride's name." "It's always the same." "Esmeralda Loyden Monroy." "Yes." "B|ess you." "Thank you." "Here we have a marriage certificate issued in..." "Cuernavaca, Morelos, and another one here in the Federal District." "Another one in..." "Guadalajara, Jalisco, and the last one in..." "Los Mochis, Sinaloa." "So, in addition to being bigamous, it seems you like to travel, ma'am." "No, they did, Judge." "For the honeymoon, you know." "Oh, I see." "That's true." "Yes, Judge." "If it were up to me, I would've stayed here." "What is it?" "The visual inspections and the ministerial certificates." "Okay." "You can do the rest yourself." "You only need to copy...." "Wait, give me that." "Once again, you forgot... to put "Effective suffrage, not re-election." Didn't I tell you?" "No more distractions!" "Don't let it happen again." "Is something the matter?" "Excuse me, Judge, but I really can't hold it any longer." "Okay." "Go with her." "Allow me, ma'am." "You have to push hard." "Thank you." "No, not now." "Thank you." "He doesn't let you smoke during interrogations?" "Judge Solorio is allergic to smoke." "He's allergic to everything." "But he must like something." "Old musical films." "Just like I like samurai films." "According to Garcia, Judge Solorio would've loved to have been Gene Kelly... or Fred Astaire." "He's a confirmed bachelor." "Not very forward." "He doesn't have a family?" "He's as alone as can be." "He lives alone?" "He eats alone." "He sleeps alone." "He does everything alone." "That's why he's so grumpy." "No, he's nice." "He's so young." "He's sweeter than a lady." "Can I try them on?" "Sure." "Let's see." "The names ofthe bridegrooms, Garcia... must appear in strict alphabetical order." "So, your name should be..." "Esmeralda Loyden Lara." "Yes, that's right." "Esmeralda Loyden Lugo." "Esmeralda Loyden Martinez." "Esmeralda Loyden Rossellini." "Esmeralda Loyden Vallarta." "How does that sound to you, Garcia?" "Okay." "What do you mean, "okay"?" "The names are correct, Judge." "But the only plaintiff is..." "Pedro Lugo Alegria." "Because the others must have something to hide." "And that's not what I'm asking you, Garcia." "I'm asking you about the moral... legal, social, and political implications ofthis case." "Things you seem to be unaware of." "If you say so, Judge." "Garcia, have you ever seen a case like this one... in your entire life?" "Well, not with a woman." "Because with men...." "Let's see what the defendant has to say." "But before that... allow me to ask you... a strictly personal question..." "Esmeralda." "You never confused..." "Antonio... with Jaime?" "If I mistake one for the other?" "Oh, no, Judge." "They're so different." "You never have had... any doubts?" "Any mix-ups?" "How could I?" "I respect them too much." "Not even in the dark?" "I don't understand you, Judge." "It's incredible." "Incredible!" "Now I'm the one who owes her an apology." "Did you undergo a gynecological exam by the forensic scientist?" "You know what, Judge?" "This isn't a rape case." "Oh, yes." "That's right." "The husbands should be the ones... getting examined." "Judge... excuse me, but...." "So, five." "The five ofthem needed me." "And you were so generous." "They had a great need for love." "Do you have children?" "They're my children." "I love them, and I take care of all their needs." "I wouldn't have time for others." "I imagine you met your first husband in a park." "Jaime?" "No." "The one I met at the Santa Maria bandstand was Carlos." "Carlos?" "Carlos." "The one who was going to marry me when you arrested me." "He came over to the bench where I was and sat down." "He was so nervous, he didn't know what to do." "And he started whistling Amorcito, Corazén." "That's how it all started." "I don't understand." "It's my favorite song." "Look." "| get goose bumps when I hear it." "Look." "And then something got in his eye." "His eye was watering a lot, so I told him..." "I was a nurse and, well..." "I took it out." "The thing he had in his eye." "What you should do... is wash your eye with chamomile and tilt your head back like this." "Wait a moment so it penetrates well." "That way... the chamomile... flower...." "Listen, since we're on the subject..." "I've noticed that your eye waters, too." "Why don't you tell your wife" "I'm not married." "Then tell your mom." "Tell her to rinse it with chamomile." "But not from a tea bag." "No, fresh from the plant." "But make sure it's flowering, okay?" "I'd do it myself if I could." "But you must use a clean pot to boil... just a bit of chamomile... and then you have to stay like this, with your head tilted back." "Just a few seconds so it penetrates we||." "But like that, okay?" "Pure chamomile." "So you're the type of person that offers your help to others?" "Yes, Judge." "It's my natural reaction." "And how did you hook Don Virginio... and commit bigamy for the first time?" "He was dying... and his last wish was to marry me." "[couldn't say no." "They said he only had a week left." "You look better." "What a praiseworthy act!" "Thank you, Father." "Pepita, the first glass is for you." "Thank you." "There you go." "One moment, one moment." "Sorry, Father." "Esmeralda and Virginia..." "I declare you man and wife." "A picture ofthe newlyweds." "Congratu|ations!" "Congratu|ations, Esmeralda." "Congratulations!" "The bouquet!" "Congratulations, Esmeralda!" "I don't know if it was because he took Communion during the wedding... the thing is that he started to get better and better... and he ended up leaving the hospital." "And he began to write again." "He dedicated a book to me." "He's a well-known poet, you know." "Slowly." "Like I was saying... sit down." "Sit down." "You see..." "I would've chased her down." "But Esmeralda isn't that type of woman." "She won't have sex with someone... unless she marries him." "When she was a girl... when they took her to offer flowers... she dreamt of dressing up like a bride." "That's why I wrote..." ""Esmeralda in White" for her." "It was my marriage proposal." "Did you not know that she was married... under both civil and religious law?" "Yes, of course." "Were you a widower?" "Yes." "Sorry, it's time for my medicine." "Did you ever suspect that she married again afterwards... three more times?" "No." "But I imagined she dated other men." "And you didn't say anything?" "Or did you?" "At my age I couldn't demand faithfulness." "So, you allowed her... freedom?" "I have to confess something." "Sit down." "Sit down." "Sit down." "I must be honest with you." "Listen." "You'll understand this." "How old are you?" "Me?" "Fifty-eight." "You understand, right?" "We can no longer take care of all our obligations." "Go on, go on." "This is offthe record." "|te|| you once more that I'm interested in reaching the bottom ofthis... because it's something... unusual." "| asked her things... and if she answered them, it stimulated me." "At first, and only out of respect... she contained herself." "But due to my insistence, and seeing that that made me... respond better... well, she told me things." "Things she imagined, according to her." "Things she made up." "She told you about her relationships... with her four other husbands." "Right?" "She spared no detail." "And did they all agree to seeing you just one day?" "There were some exceptions." "Besides, they all work, too." "Tell us about Dr. Vallarta Blanco." "He's a great neurosurgeon." "And a magnificent cook." "He makes a basil pesto sauce that makes you want to lick your fingers." "When you two got married, he already knew you had another husband?" "No." "Don't lie." "Don't lie!" "I have evidence that proves what I'm saying." "Nervous?" "As always." "I brought a beautiful dress." "What do you think?" "Very formal, isn't it?" "You look great in anything you wear." "Thanks." "Go change, okay?" "Sure." "Hi." "How are you?" "We|come." "What did he cook?" "Spaghetti with pesto." "You'll be licking your fingers." "It smells delicious." "How can I help?" "Grind this, please." "Which one do I push?" "One." "|'|| go change, okay?" "Okay." "You must admit that in this case... both ofyou consciously broke the law." "We had no other choice." "Jorge Luis had to settle down and live with Armando." "So, it's true." "Jorge Luis and you got married just to hide his true nature." "To hide it from Dofia Beatriz." "She wanted her son to get married." "Thank you." "Hi, Mom." "Son." "How are you?" "Come in." "Come into the living room." "Armando's here." "He||o, madam." "How are you?" "How are you?" "Esmeralda, Mom's here." "I'm coming." "Help me, dear." "I'll take it." "Oh, what a pleasure." "How are you?" "Fine." "That smells delicious!" "Would you like something to drink, Mom?" "No, son, thanks." "You should know that." "Some mineral water?" "No." "I prefer to drink wine with dinner." "And for you, my love?" "Tequi|a, please." "With lemon." "That was embarrassing." "Don't worry." "I think I'm beginning to like tequila." "But with lemon." "Sweet dreams." "Good night." "Good night." "Can you help me with this, please?" "Sure, of course." "Good night." "Sweet dreams." "What a disgrace!" "What a disgrace!" "Garcia... out of respect and consideration for Lucita... could you take her place and continue typing?" "Please understand, Lucita." "Who knows what other perverted revelations await us?" "And I don't want to force you to listen to them." "It's not an obligation, sir." "It's my duty." "And you underestimate me, Judge." "I'm legally of age." "And I have ample experience." "I'm sorry, Lucita." "I beg your pardon." "Do you have much left?" "Two coats." "Okay." "Therefore we can conclude that... with Dr. Vallarta Blanco... the nuptials were not consummated." "Pardon me?" "Consummated is written with two M's." "That's how I wrote it, Counselor." "Do you want to see?" "No, no, no." "If you say so, Lucita." "I congratulate you." "I repeat, we can conclude... that you did not have marital relations?" "No, we did." "Occasionally." "With the other man, too?" "Armando?" "No." "And why not?" "If I may ask." "Because I'm not married to him." "We're very careful... that Armando doesn't find out." "We don't want to hurt him." "So, Jorge Luis is bisexual?" "Yes... occasionally." "What a disgrace!" "What a disgrace!" "Aren't you afraid of AIDS?" "No, because we take precautions." "So, everyone agrees with this." "No one complains." "No one is suspicious." "Sorry to interrupt you, Judge." "May | suggest a question you should ask the defendant?" "Go ahead, Garcia." "Ask." "I'm intrigued by the economic aspect of this... if all ofthem give her money." "Could you clear something up for us?" "All this promiscuity... how is it taken care of financially?" "How do you manage the money of your five husbands?" "We have a checking account and a savings account." "And ofthe five men, who is the beneficiary?" "None ofthem." "It's my dad." "Oh!" "I forgot you're daddy is still alive." "Yes, thank God." "And they all give you money?" "According to their circumstances." "How much do you receive monthly?" "It varies a lot between... 5,000 and 12,000 pesos." "Then you must have a good nest egg, huh?" "Not now, Counselor, because we invested almost everything in Jaime's record." "Jaime Martinez Cruz." "Her first husband." "He writes rock songs." "That's Why We're Down and Out was on the hit list for months." "He was inspired by the first years of our relationship." "But, of course, not everything he says in it is true... because being an artist, he transforms reality, you know?" "He dramatizes it." "No, the smoke." "Give me that." "That's it." "For this cleansing ritual... we need to clean your four bodies." "I clean your aural body." "I clean your emotional body." "I clean your ethereal body." "Smoke, go ahead." "I'm going to clean your seven chakras." "I clean your crown chakra." "Your third eye." "The chakra in your throat, in your chest... in your solar plexus." "Feel the power." "Feel it, Esmeralda." "Can you feel it?" "Can you feel it?" "Yes." "I clean the chakra of your sex." "Now you are clean." "Clean." "Can you feel it?" "Now... we will cleanse... your physical body." "This is done with water." "Ready?" "You're going to feel... very clean." "Completer clean." "Get under the water." "Can you feel it?" "Clean yourself." "Feel how it all disappears... all the negative energies..." "Can you feel it?" "It's done, Esmeralda." "We're clean." "We're free of putrefaction." "Now, without the water... we are going to take a deep breath." "Breathe in deeply." "And now, we'll get rid of all our prejudices." "Let's get rid ofthe shell that ties us to this world." "For example, me." "I can free myself... of my past, which represents... all of my ties." "This can be my first girlfriend." "This can be... my father, for example." "| abandon him." "Away with him." "This can be my mother." "| no longer have ties." "I'm free." "Completely free." "And now it's your turn, Esmeralda." "Free yourself." "Completely." "Free yourself." "Cleanse yourself." "Can you feel it?" "Okay, Esmeralda... tell me." "Tell me your experience." "I want to hear it." "I want to hear it." "Today I connected... my ethereal cord... to the highest mountain... in the Himalayas." "And there, I saw... an eternal sunrise... eternal." "He was always a bohemian and a womanizer." "When we were newlyweds, he left me at home to go out with his friends... or to seduce other girls." "And I found out that I couldn't change him." "And that I'm not like he is." "So I decided to study... and work as a nurse." "And to take contraceptive measures." "Well done, cutie." "My Regino filled me with children just to hold on to me." "We got separated... but we've never stopped loving each other." "You two got separated... but didn't divorce." "And you kept on with your promiscuity." "Let's see." "Why did you marry Antonio and Pedro?" "To try to rebuild her life, obviously." "Oh, let's see." "Let's hear a woman's point of view." "Look." "The first one was very affectionate... but he was a womanizer and uncommitted." "The second one, a dying old man." "The third one, a pansy." "The fourth one..." "Yes, Lucita, but excuse me." "living with all ofthem." "Because each one gives her something." "Exactly." "You give money to Jaime." "You support him with their money." "Well, I wouldn't say | support him." "But I do help him because he's an artist." "Please, ma'am!" "Don't give me that nonsense." "| help all ofthem." "Is it wrong to help Pedro when he doesn't get his monthly installment from Monterrey?" "Or that I lent Jaime some money so he could buy his taxi?" "Amorcito, Corazén." "He likes to drive." "He likes to listen to music, talk, and go out at night." "He's doing fine as a taxi driver." "He paid me back in less than two years." "I think it's great that I give him inspiration to write some of his songs." "More!" "More!" "More!" "Louder!" "Turn it up!" "Turn it up!" "Turn it up." "Turn it up." "Yes." "I owe Esmeralda the money she gave me to make my CD." "I don't know when I'll be able to pay her back." "The problem, like with everything... is that when the time comes to distribute it, they fuck us over." "And where can I buy it?" "If you want that one, you can keep it." "Really?" "It costs 50 pesos." "Could you close your window a little bit?" "Listen." "| see you thanked all the hardcore rockers." "With all his heart, Judge." "Abranda Boriel." "Maru Ochoa." "Cecilia Pusen." "Doesn't this have That's Why We're Down and Out?" "I have that one here." "On tape." "It only costs 15 pesos, sir." "And the money Esmeralda gives you, where do you think she obtains it?" "From a bank." "From the joint fund." "So, all ofthem knew it?" "They sensed or accepted the situation?" "Well, yes, apparently." "Well, apparently not." "Because your little charade is over." "They reported you to the police." "That must've been Pedro." "He's always been quick-tempered and energetic." "But he regrets it afterwards." "You'll see." "I won't see anything, because you are under arrest." "Doesn't the seclusion bother you?" "Not much." "Everyone here is very nice." "you never feel bad, do you?" "I've never gone to bed with a guilty conscience." "Don't you realize that you live... in the most absolute promiscuity?" "You cheated." "You cheat." "And what you do isn't only immoral, but amoral, too." "You have no principles." "You're pornographic." "Your actions indicate a mental disorder." "Your infidelity is simply a sign of... stupidity!" "People like you undermine the very foundation our society." "You destroy our family unit." "You're a menace to society!" "Don't you realize you've done a lot of harm... with your irresponsible conduct?" "The people you cheat." "Yourself." "Society." "The principles ofthe Mexican Revolution." "VVhy?" "The days we share are happy days, full of harmony... and they harm no one." "This is unbelievable." "The girl looks good." "Her skin is healthy and clean." "Her eyes are radiant/y healthy." "What lie?" "One thing is not to say, another thing is to lie." "You're crazy." "And that is something the psychiatrist will determine." "Rest assured." "Really?" "And what's going to happen to me?" "You're just worrying about that now?" "You just realized the situation you're in?" "Well, to be honest, yes, Judge." "I didn't have any reason to worry." "I don't know what kind of woman you are." "I don't understand you." "Either you're feeble-minded... or, I don't know, you're a tramp." "A tramp?" "Tell that to Pedro." "To Pedro, to Juan, to many more." "To any of your five husbands, and they'll think the same thing when they find out." "I don't think so." "They all think differently." "I don't think like you do." "I couldn't do it." "Don't you despise yourself sometimes... as if you were garbage?" "VVhy?" "Don't you realize how terriny irresponsible you are?" "You act like a prostitute." "What do you have to say in your defense, Madam Esmeralda?" "Since you're so competent, Judge, why don't you give me some advice?" "This is unbelievable." "Now I'm the one who has to defend her." "Read the file, Lucita." "It's not signed." "PM Sign it if you want." "How is it going to be signed if we haven't finished the interrogation?" "With all due respect, Lucita." "It doesn't matter." "PM Sign it now." "Anyway, Jaime told me that the courts put whatever they want." "Really?" "Well, your Jaime is a liar." "And I will gladly send him a citation... accusing him of slander." "Jaime?" "I seriously doubt he'll ever want to lay eyes on you." "But if he comes, will you call me?" "What's her scent?" "Vanilla, maybe." "A woman with all her teeth." "You can't miss them when she tilts her head backwards... while she laughs." "Why would that hussy laugh?" "She looks like she just took a shower." "That's it." "Fresh out of the shower." "By the time Jaime arrives... you'll already be behind bars... for immorality, for bigamy." "For foolishness." "For being detrimental to others." "Criminal association." "lncitation of rebellious conduct." "Destruction of public property." "Yes, yes, yes, yes." "Destruction of public property." "Didn't you and Carlos meet in the park?" "But, will I be able to see Jaime?" "Jaime is the one you love the most, isn't he?" "No." "I love all ofthem." "A|| ofthem." "All the same." "Even Pedro, who reported you to the police?" "Oh, my darling, so sweet." "Judge Solorio, the people from the fountain are coming." "Yeah?" "How many?" "Garcia, please." "What fountain?" "Oh, I thought he was talking about Cibeles." "Don't worry, honey." "No." "I'm on your side." "This even seems funny to me, because... the bastard I married... started seeing someone right away." "Even gave her a house." "And here you have me working." "So, I think it's good for someone like you to get her revenge." "I'll help you with the preliminary investigation." "I swear it on my mother, darling." "And not only me." "There's Carmelita and Carbajal." "And Mantencoso." "And Don Miguelito, of course." "He might be a little old-fashioned." "But, all right, why I am telling you all this?" "For us, you're more important than Frida Kahlo." "Oh, you're sleepy, darling." "We're almost done." "The jury will find you guilty." "Because of Jorge Luis." "You shouldn't have mentioned it." "It's okay to do it, but not to mention it?" "Would you convict me for this?" "Why not?" "Because sometimes I feel like doing the opposite of what I think I should." "But one thing's sure." "I'd give you a very special sentence." "You'd have to write about your experiences." "I'm not very good in literature." "You've had relationships... with many writers, right?" "Well, any novelists?" "Yes, there was one, but... he didn't want to marry me." "You're such a loner." "Don't you have any friends?" "Judge Solorio is my friend." "Lucky him." "But how about someone like you?" "Someone your age?" "I would give you a sentence." "Well, a small one." "An obligation." "I would make you do... the opposite of what you think you should more often." "Cop, cop, help us." "We weren't working the streets." "We went to a party." "A costume party." "We won a prize." "You won the first prize?" "Yeah, we're the guava." "And the toast." "Oh, in that case, I'm..." "Pepe the Bull 2000." "Damn." "Hey!" "Flowers!" "They brought us flowers." "They're for Esmeraldita." "For Esmeraldita." "They're from Jorge Luis." "Jorge Luis." "These are from Armando." "He also sent you this." "Answer him." "What button do I push?" "He||o?" "Esmeralda?" "Jorge Luis." "What a surprise!" "How are you?" "Fine, and you?" "Fine, too." "Armando says hi." "Thank him for the roses." "They're lovely." "Jorge Luis... your mother is going to find out." "She already knows." "She found out so soon?" "I told her everything." "Everything." "Oh, my God." "Guess what?" "What?" "She disinherited you?" "She said she wasn't stupid." "That she already knew." "And that she admires you." "Give your mom a kiss." "Sure." "She admires me in her own way, how lovely." "Thanks for the sunflowers." "Armando's going to help you." "To find a solution." "He has connections." "Turn off the phone and save the batteries." "We'll talk tomorrow." "Okay." "Oh, I adore you, too." "Listen." "Give your mother a kiss, okay?" "And give a hug to Armando." "I adore you." "Me, too." "Bye." "Listen." "Have you seen yourself?" "Don't you ever rest?" "We have 24-hour shifts." "Besides... by order of Judge Solorio" "Lucita!" "Excuse me." "The judge wants to see you." "I brought you your soup." "Leave me alone, fucking cops." "Let me go, assholes." "Go to hell!" "I'm here!" "I'm the one and only!" "Her legitimate husband." "Let him go!" "Let him go!" "Thank you." "Antonio Rossellini." "How do you do?" "I came to rescue my Esmeralda." "How much is the bail?" "It's not a question of bail, sir." "No, sir?" "In Mexico, like in Italy, tutto é possibile." "Un 0, due, tre." "And quattro for you." "And cinque for you." "And sei, and sette...." "No, no, no!" "Impossible!" "Impossible!" "What is impossible?" "The case will continue." "We already have too much publicity." "Publicity?" "this is the publicity... my Esmeralda has." "Negative publicity." "The kind of publicity that... defames the most beautiful, the most wonderful" "Sir!" "Ma, che cosa?"

"When you think of her life ten years ago and now." "I'm told she has some dingy little house north of the park." "It's a wonder they still ask her to stay."

"I'm going to manage it somehow." "I've a feeling he's very good at putting off what he doesn't want to do." "He's not as calculated as that." "How little we know our own parents." "Apparently he took a fortune off Sir John Bullock." "What about your employer?" "Ah, his lordship's too clever for that." "He got out the game early." "That's not what I heard."

"You may be surprised to hear that a match which is wanted by everyone can turn out to be extremely happy." "Do you speak from experience?" "Absolutely." "Matthew and I were flung at each other's heads from the moment he arrived." "If anything, it rather slowed matters up." "But you were happy?" "Wonderfully happy." "How lucky you are." "Am I?" "You've known a great love." "Doesn't that enrich any life?" "I'm not sure." "Matthew changed me." "I loved him, but he changed me." "If I were as tough as I was before I met him, I bet I'd be happier now." "Maybe." "But we can't go back, can we?" "Apparently not." "What will you do with that?" "Cover it and dry it on the stove, then put it into muslin bags." "Old Lady Gillingham's maid just buys it in packets." "Perhaps she's not a country girl."

"She's very generous." "Er, but I wondered, what are we to do about the kitchen staff?" "Why?" "Do you fear the corrupting influence of opera?" "Oh, not at all, m'lord." "But before the war they wouldn't usually have been included." "Oh, I think we must bend that far, Carson." "Modern times and all that." "As you wish, m'lord." "I've arranged for Dame Nellie's accompanist to sleep with the male servants..." "Well, I doubt he'd expect to sleep with the female ones." "And Dame Nellie will have dinner in her room." "Very good." "Whatever you think." "How wonderful to see an estate that's still all in one piece." "Don't speak too soon." "What do you mean?" "Well, we have a big tax bill to pay." "Papa wants to sell land, but I'd like to see if we can avoid it." "The trouble is, I can't get him to listen." "Shall I tell you what I'd do?" "Please." "Make him agree for you to meet the tax people, then bring back the best deal they can offer." "In that way you'll have a real case to argue." "We had a similar choice when Father died." "In the end, we let the house, but kept the land." "Thank you." "It's nice to know one's not alone." "That others are facing the same trials." "No." "You're not alone." " (GRUNTS)" " What's up?" "I've jiggered my bloody wrist, that's what." "Oh, I'll have no swearwords in here, thank you very much." "Unless I'm doing the swearing." "What's going on?" "Why aren't you upstairs?" "Jimmy's hurt his wrist." "He can't carry the tray." "What?" "I'll do my best, Mr Carson." "Is something wrong?" "Why are you down here now?" " Who's in the dining room?" " I'm going straight back up." "I just wondered what the delay was." "Oh, no, it's no good." "Mr Barrow, you'll have to do it." "Mr Carson, must I remind you that I am the under-butler?"

" Oh, I don't think so, m'lady." " Good." "CORA:" "But I suppose we'll have to muddle through tomorrow as well." "Don't worry about that, m'lady." "I have an idea." "You do realise we can sell land as a capital gain and pay no tax on it at all?" "And end up with an estate that can't support the house." "I doubt it will change my mind." "I'm glad you only "doubt" it." "I must be making some progress." "(MUSIC PLAYING)" "What's that?" "Is there anyone who wants to dance?" "I jolly well do." "If it's with you." "I love dancing, but these days I haven't got a partner." "Tom?" "You're dressed for it." "Would you care to dance with me, Duchess?" "I should love it." "I hate to pass up the chance to hold you in my arms..." "EDITH:" "Why do you have to play?" "Because I've said I will." "What about it?" "I thought I'd keep Granny company." "VIOLET:" "Don't use me as an excuse." "If you don't want to dance, tell him." "(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)" "Do you know Racing Demon?" "I've heard of it, but I've never played."

"I've got his shoes to clean." "Of course." " (MUSIC PLAYING)" " I'm very fond of Ireland." "Where did you grow up?" "Bray, in County Wicklow." "Oh, I love Wicklow."

"I don't know why I'm doing this." "By the way, I took your advice and I'm pleased I did." " Thank you." " Glad to be of service." "MARY:" "Rose?" "Where did you get that?" "ROSE:" "I found it in the attic." "I got Alfred to bring it downstairs." " I'm so sorry, but I, I can't dance after all." " Perhaps..." "What was that about?" "The gramophone." "It belonged to Matthew." "I didn't think." "What a pity." "SAMPSON:" "Four nines." " (SIGHS) - (LAUGHING)" " You're too good for me." " He's too good for all of us." "Nonsense."

"I fit doesn't, how do you like to be paid?" "Oh, don't worry." "I'm happy with IOUs." "We can settle up when we leave, or at the club." "Besides, you may have won it all back by the end." "Not a chance." "I hope you can all keep my secret?" "I wouldn't want to worry Lady Grantham." "We must practise our poker face." "SAMPSON:" "Antes, gentlemen..." "Goodnight." "How are you enjoying the party?" "(SIGHS) I look like a fool." "I talk like a fool." "I am a fool." "Alfred said you were dancing." "With an old bat who could be my granny, and thinks I grew up in a cave." "My clothes deceive no one." "Don't be so hard on yourself." "I'm a fish out of water, and I've never felt it more than today." "Good day, m'lord?" "Good until tonight." "I took a walloping from Mr Sampson." "At poker." "I was a fool to play with someone who so obviously knew what he was doing." "Lord Gillingham tried to warn me off, but I wouldn't listen." " Do you know the gentleman well?" " No." "But I was discussing the party at the club and he hinted a bit and I suppose I took the bait." "(SIGHS) Anyway." "Perhaps keep it to yourself, Bates." "Of course, m'lord." "Good man." "(DOOR OPENS)" "ANNA:" "M'lady?" "What's the matter?" "Did you know that Lady Rose had found Mr Crawley's gramophone?" "I did, yes." "She wanted it for her records." "I told her to ask you." "Well, she didn't." "(SIGHS) I feel very sad tonight." "And no wonder." "She shouldn't have had it brought down, and set off all your memories." "No, it's not that." "At least, it's not only that." "Sometimes I don't know whom I'm most in mourning for." "Matthew or the person I used to be when I was with him." "You're a fine person, m'lady." "Fine and strong, and you'll learn that for yourself as time goes by." "I made rather an idiot of myself in front of Lord Gillingham." "He won't mind." "No." "No, I don't think he will." "Can you stop a moment, please, and let me out?" "VIOLET:" "Isobel." "Isobel, my dear." "Will you come up tonight and hear Melba?" "Well, I can't decide." "I, I have a lot to do." "Look, my dear, I don't want to be unkind, and you have my sympathy, truly." "But it won't bring him back for you to sit alone, night after night." "I know." "But you see, I have this feeling that when I laugh or read a book or hum a tune, it means that I've forgotten him." "Just for a moment." "And it's that that I can't bear." ""Better by far that you should forget and smile," ""than that you should remember and be sad."" "But Rossetti was writing about her own death, not her child's." "Will you come?" "(PANTING)" "I came as soon as I got your message." "I hope I didn't drag you away from anything important." "Oh, no, no, no, I've finished for the day." "At Bakewell's?" "I am in a predicament." "James, the first footman, has sprained his wrist and cannot carry." "Mr Barrow feels the duties are beneath him, and in the meantime, we have a party of sixteen staying at the house." "You want me to be a footman?" "I know it is far below your talents, but you do understand the duties and since you are working at Bakewell's..." "You mean I can fall no further." "I wondered if you might do us the great favour of helping me out." "I have come down in the world, Mr Carson." "We both know that. (SIGHS)" "I am a beggar and so, as the proverb tells us," "I cannot be a chooser." "Hmm." "CORA:" "Do you know if Dame Nellie has arrived?" "I believe so, m'lady." "But too late for tea?" "What a shame." "(DOOR OPENS)" "I was getting nervous, but apparently Dame Nellie is here now." "Good." " Are you enjoying yourself so far?" " (ROBERT SIGHS)" "Ah, seeing the old house at full strength again?" "Yes, I am." "At any rate, I'm enjoying most of it." "Only most?" "I don't want Sampson invited back." " I think he's rather a tyke." " Hmm." "How do you find Mr Gregson?" "Well, Sampson hammered him, but he took it like a man, I will say that." "I hope you weren't caught up in it?" "I was more of a spectator." "I hate gambling." "How can grown men throw away their fortune like that?" "What could be more stupid?" "I couldn't agree more. (CLEARS THROAT)" "Mr Molesley?" "I thought it was you." "Are you a footman now?" "I'm having my career backwards." "Ah, Mr Molesley." "Alfred will be acting first footman tonight." "So can you take your lead from him?" "Why not?" "Perhaps Daisy'd like to give me a pointer or two." "Or Ivy?" "And here are some clean gloves that should fit you." "Gloves, Mr Carson?" "I'm sorry, Mr Molesley, you're not the butler here." "That is my job." "You are a footman and a footman wears gloves." "So if we could begin?" "(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)" "Everyone ready?" " Go!" " Hey!" "ANNA:" "You're pushing!" "You can't just bulldoze us all to one side!" "GREEN:" "It's all part of the rules." "Oh, I've got the ace... (ALL CLAMOURING)" "Oh, I've got the ace..." "GREEN:" "Someone's cheating... (ALL SHOUTING)" "What on earth can she be doing?" "Should someone go up and see?" "I thought she was going to sing after dinner." "She is." "Well, then why would we want to see her before?" "(SIGHS)" "I, er, I suppose you'll get up a game again tonight?" " After the singing?" " During it, with any luck." "Then you must count me in." " You'll play again?" " Lf you'll have me." "I think I've, er, got the trick of it now." "Very well." "If you insist." "Don't say I didn't warn you." "(CHUCKLES)" "Do you know Isabella Moncrieffe?" "No." "She's blown up like a balloon." "What do you mean, she's in her room?" "How long has she been there?" "Her maid took her some tea when she arrived..." " What?" " And I'm about to send up dinner." "Well, doesn't she want to eat with us?" "I didn't think it appropriate, ma'am, and his lordship agreed with me." "I can't believe my ears." "Robert?" "A world-famous singer is in our house, a great artist honoured by the King, but you felt it beneath your dignity to eat with her?" " I don't re..." " Am I the only member of this family who lives in the twentieth century?" "CORA:" "What room is she in?" "Princess Amelia, m'lady." "You will have her next to you at dinner, and you will like it!" "But what do I say to her?" "What does one say to a singer?" "I blame you." "Now spoon it into the shells." "No, not like that!" "Oh, give it here!" "Mrs Patmore, we can do this." "Oh, can you?" "With Ivy slapping it out like a trained seal." "Alfred, just remember that one's for the Duchess." "She can't eat it... (GASPING) Oh, oh, my God..." " What is it?" " MRS PATMORE:" "I..." "I've got a pain like a vice, it's like a vice!" "Ivy!" "Fetch Mrs Hughes." "Alfred, help me get her to a chair." "No, but who'll finish the dinner?" "I've not made the béchamel yet, nor the dill sauce for the salmon!" " Daisy?" " But I've all me own stuff to do." "I'll do it." " Madge is ringing for the doctor." " Why?" "What is going on?" "Alfred's making the sauces for the dinner and Mrs Patmore's having a heart attack." "I'm not surprised." "No, I mean really!" "(WOMEN CLAMOURING)" " What on earth..." " Don't ask." "(GASPING)" "(INDISTINCT CHATTER)" "Molesley?" "Oh, you're back?" "I'm so glad." "They can't keep a good man down." "On the contrary, m'lady." "That's exactly what they can do." "I'm going to slip away later, for some cards." "I hope you won't mind." "Not with Sampson again?" "You said you'd lost a packet." "Well..." "Ah." "It's time to turn." "I'm so sorry about earlier." "I hope you didn't feel we'd abandoned you." "This is delicious." "I'm so pleased you like it." "Haut-Brion is one of my favourites." "Did you read that on the menu?" "I didn't need to." "I've made quite a study of claret." "Oh, well, then." "This is going to be much less uphill than I thought." "I'll ring tomorrow and make an appointment." "Tom can come with me." "I'm sure you don't need my help, but it's yours for the asking." "Thank you." "May I take you out for dinner, when you're in London?" "I don't think Miss Lane Fox would approve." "And nor would I, really." "But I can't tell you what a lift it is to hear that you'd like to." " Really?" " (LAUGHING)" "Is something the matter?" "I fit is, it shouldn't be." "It's the first time I've heard her laugh since it happened." "I know, and I don't want her to spend her life in sorrow." "She's not the Lady of Shalott." "It's just I find it hard to join in the merrymaking." "We haven't all been making merry." "But you see, what it comes down to in the end is this nice Lord Gillingham, or Sir John over there, or him, or you." "You're all alive." "And my son's dead." "(EXCITED YELLING)" "Anna." "Anna!" "Anna!" "Are you so involved in your game, you were unaware Mrs Patmore has been taken ill?" "What?" "What sort ofill?" "III enough to make this racket inappropriate." "Well, I was going to win." "Yes, I think you were." " Which is a good omen." " What for?" "Never you mind." "(LAUGHING)" "Why are you being like this?" "I was just having fun." " I'll leave you to it." " Please do." "Thank you for organising that, Mr Gillingham." "It was terrific." "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" " How is she?" " She'll live." "I think it was brought on by anxiety, a sort of panic over all the things that had to be done." "There was a lot to be done." "Yes, but you mustn't let it over power you." "Can I listen to Dame Nellie?" "CLARKSON:" "I think so." "But put your feet up when they've left in the morning." " You should stay for the concert." " (CLARKSON SCOFFS)" "Well, I don't want to be a nuisance, but it does seem too good to miss." "I'll go and put my bag in the car." "I don't know." "Screaming in the servants' hall, singers chatting to his lordship, and a footman cooking the dinner." "What a topsy-turvy world we've come to." "I needed something to get me through it, and I see you've had the same idea." " Are you all right?" " No." "I'm afraid I've let you down." "What?" "Why?" "Since Sybil died, you've all allowed me to believe I was one of you." "You are one of us." "Now." "No, I'm not." "Not when you're among your own people." "Tom, something's upset you." "Was it the Duchess?" "If so, I wouldn't pay the slightest attention." "It wasn't her fault." "She was only trying to be nice." "It was me." "I don't belong here, and these past few days have shown me that." "I don't accept what you're saying, and Cora certainly won't." "But we must go now, or we'll get stick." "Do any of you ever leave school?" "(SINGING OPERA)" "(GREGSON CLEARS THROAT)" "I'm sneaking off." " I wish I knew why." " You will." "I hope I didn't let you down." "I'm sure you didn't." "Mr Carson said they gobbled it up like gannets." "That's what I want to do, Mrs Patmore." "One step at a time." "I've got a bit of a headache." "Because of the singing?" "Well, it's not making it any better." "It was probably all that shouting in the game." "And I'll thank you not to comment." "I'll pop down and get something." "(APPLAUSE)" "DAME NELLIE:" "And now for one of my favourites." "O Mio Babbino Caro by Puccini, from Gianni Schicchi." "And I'd like to dedicate this to love and to lovers." "What a relief." "I thought we might have been in for some of that dreadful German lieder." "You can always rely on Puccini." "I prefer Bartok." "Oh, you would." "(SINGING OPERA)" "SAMPSON:" "Straight to the six." "GREGSON:" "Flush." " I don't understand." "How..." " How what?" "Come on, Sampson." "You're not trying to get out of paying up, are you?" "Of course not." " Would you care for something stronger?" " (SCOFFS)" "I shouldn't let Mr Carson see you with that." " You want some?" " Uh-uh." "I expect you're sick of it, too." "A grown woman screeching" " like a cat on a bonfire." " (LAUGHING)" "That's very naughty." "I think Dame Nellie has a beautiful voice." "Don't be silly." "Let me pass." "You look to me like you could use a bit of real fun, for once." "Is that what you want?" "What I want is to go back upstairs." "You're not telling me that sad old cripple keeps you happy." "If you must know, yes, he keeps me very happy." "Now let me by." "Please." "Perhaps you've forgotten what you're missing." "(GRUNTS)" "(DAME NELLIE SINGING)" "(SCREAMING)" "(ANNA SCREAMING)" "(SINGING CONTINUES)" "I wonder what she's doing." "Maybe she's fallen asleep." "Well, she wouldn't get much sleep up here, that's for sure." "(APPLAUSE)" "I think we're both even." "So we'll, er, leave you to it." "I assume you'll take an IOU?" "Well, firstly I'll take all the IOUs you've accumulated during your stay." "You may send me a cheque for the rest." "I'm not sure I can allow that." "Well, you'd better allow it, or I'll tell Lord Grantham how you won and there won't be a club in London to touch you with a ten-foot pole." "Will you take a note for the remainder of the debt?" "Yes." "It wouldn't be in your interests to cross me." "You think you're so holy, don't you?" "You're just a cheat, like me." "I have won against a card sharp." "There is pleasure in that." "(CHUCKLING)" "ROBERT:" "I'm so pleased you came." "So am I." "I was wrong to hesitate." "But then, guilt has the power to make all of us do strange things." "Oh!" "Well, not all of us." "Guilt has never played a major part in my life." "Amen to that." "I think these are yours." " Oh, I can't accept this." " Please do." "I won it off Sampson fair and square." "(LAUGHING)" "Fair and square, eh?" "Well, I won, anyway." " But then the money's yours." " No, I don't want it." "Isn't that a better way to end the house party?" "(LAUGHING)" "How did it go?" "Mr Gregson has saved my bacon." "(SOFTLY) But don't tell your mother." "How on earth did you do that?" "I revived a dubious talent from my misspent youth." "(CHUCKLES) Well, that was a nice surprise, I must say." "My whole stay has been full of nice surprises." " I can't tell you how pleased I am that I came." " Really?" "Then I'm pleased, too." " What is it?" " Whisky." "(SCOFFS)" "God, it's huge." "I thought you might need it." "You understand me, don't you?" "I like to think so." "(INDISTINCT CHATTER)" "ALFRED:" "Some fresh coffee, Mr Molesley." " ANNA:" "Shut the door." " My god." "(WEEPING) Shut the door." "Will you help me?" "Will you find me some clothes?" " Yes, of course I will, but..." " Then would you see to Lady Mary?" "Say, um, just say I've gone home with a headache." "I can manage Lady Mary, but, Anna, we must tell someone..." "No, no, no!" "But you have to tell Mr Bates..." "Him least of all!" "If he knew, he'd murder the man who's done it and then he'd be hanged." " But surely..." " He's a convicted felon!" "Do you think they'd spare him a second time?" "(SNIFFLING) No." "Maybe the doctor's still here..." "Will you listen!" "I need your help or I wouldn't have told you." "Nobody else must ever know." "You promise me!" "(SIGHS)" "(STAMMERS) Wait here." "I'll fetch you some water and a comb." "And see what I can find you in the way of a dress." "(SOBBING)" " (DOOR OPENS)" " Did you enjoy your evening?" "Yes, I did rather." "You weren't too shocked, having to talk to a professional singer?" "You always make me out to be so narrow-minded, but I liked her." " Because she appreciated your wine." " (SIGHS)" "There are worse reasons." "And have you formed an opinion of Mr Gregson?" "Yes, as a matter of fact." "I'm not sure he's what we want for Edith, but it's a changing world and I must admit, he's a decent cove." "Heavens, a Damascene conversion." " (CHUCKLES)" " What's brought this about?" " Was it something he said?" " It wasn't that so much." "But he did behave in a way that I thought was... really quite gentlemanly." "(SOFTLY) Are you awake?" "What happened to you?" "I was drinking a powder when I suddenly felt dizzy... and I must have fainted." "I think I hit the edge of the sink as I went down." "Stupid." " You've changed your dress." " Yes." "It's badly marked." "I've put it in to soak, but I'm not sure I can save it." "Mrs Hughes lent me this." "GREEN:" "Goodnight, Mr Bates." "Mrs Bates." "And thank you for looking after me while I've been here." "Goodnight, Mr Gillingham." "Goodnight, Mr Gillingham." "What's the matter?" "Nothing." "I just feel like walking on my own, that's all." "(DOOR OPENS)" "(WEEPING)" "BATES:" "Anna?"

"Starfleet didn't send us out here to humiliate ourselves." "How long were we in orbit, grovelling?" "Six days?" "Five, sir, and it wasn't exactly grovelling." "Apologising, asking forgiveness... just because we ate lunch in front of them... on our own ship months ago." "I call that grovelling." "They were offended." "The Kreetassans manufacture plasma injectors." " We need one." " So we spend six days grovelling." "Five days." "Then when they finally agree to talk to us... we go down." "And what do they do?" "They keep us waiting for 12 hours and then send us packing." "No explanation, no plasma injector." "Just leave, go back to your ship." "We obviously offended them again." "Maybe my hair's parted on the wrong side." "I'm exhausted, and I've had it with these people." " Go ahead." " The three of you are clear to go." "But I'm afraid I'll need to keep Porthos for a while." "What's the problem?" "He picked up a pathogen of some kind on the surface." "Neither decon agent has been effective." " What are you going to do?" " I'm not sure yet." "I'll let you know as soon as I've run some tests." "Feel better, Porthos." "Doc will have you good as new before you know it." "I might even break the no-cheese rule tonight." "Sorry, fella." "You got to stay." "We're playing with fire, Captain." "It's just a matter of time before this injector gives up the ghost." "You've got four more." "The ship can run on four." "Yeah, but it can't run on three." "You know what happens at warp speed... when you've only got three plasma injectors online." "What are the odds of us losing another one before we find a replacement?" "I'm not comfortable with four, Captain." "We need five." "What the hell happened down there, anyway?" " T'Pol thinks we insulted them again." " How?" " You didn't eat cabbage before you left." " I was a perfect gentleman." "We're going to have to go somewhere else to find your injector, Trip." "These people are impossible." "Their components are metallurgically sound, dependable." "We could look for six months and not find anything half as compatible." "You're a trained diplomat." "Take the high road." "There's got to be some way you can kiss and make up." "I'll have T'Pol see if she can find out what we did." "But I'm not promising anything." "I went to Decon." "I thought you were down there with Porthos." "Is every..." "It's all right to pet him." "You'll have to use the isolation gloves." "Did you run your tests?" "His autoimmune system is collapsing." "I've isolated the pathogen, broken down its protein sequence." "I can't explain it, Captain." "It shouldn't be affecting him like this." "But it is." "So what are you doing?" "Running more tests." "I'm sure I'll come up with something." "How sure?" "Could this be life-threatening?" "It's too early to tell." "Didn't we send his genome to the Kreetassans along with ours?" "I transmitted them myself before you left Enterprise." "Shouldn't they have noticed there's a pathogen there... that his immune system can't handle?" "They should have, assuming they took the time to check." "I'm told I've offended these people twice." "Once for eating in front of them." "The second time, I don't know what for." "But if their carelessness has hurt Porthos... or, God forbid, ends up killing him... they're going to find out what being offended is all about." "Porthos has no intention of giving up." "And neither do I." "You hear that, boy?" "We're all pulling for you." " Did you reach them?" " Yes." "And?" "I think we should discuss this in your Ready Room." "Well?" "Do you recall the stand of trees outside the Hall of Diplomacy?" "What are you talking about?" "They're Alvera trees." "Over 300 years old." "That's fascinating." "Did you apologise for whatever we did wrong?" "Are we going to get our plasma injector?" "The Kreetassans consider the Alvera trees cultural treasures." "Apparently, Porthos urinated on one of them." " And that's what they're insulted about?" " It is understandable." "Maybe if they had bothered to read the genetic profile we sent... they'd have told us to leave the dog on the ship." "Then he wouldn't have had an opportunity... to pee on one of their precious trees." "I conveyed your sincerest apologies to the Chancellery." "They're discussing possible acts of contrition." "Where the hell do you get off conveying my sincerest apologies?" "They're the ones who should be sorry." "I don't need to remind you that Commander Tucker is relying on us." "There are some things more important than plasma injectors." "Are you referring to your pride?" "I'll tell you one thing, Subcommander." "If anything happens to Porthos..." "I'll be the one watering their Alvera trees." "If you were a married man..." "I'd be wondering if your wife had thrown you out." "I just thought it might cheer Porthos up if I slept here tonight." "That is, if it's all right with you." "I don't think your dog is in any condition to know whether you're here or not." "Then maybe it'll cheer me up." "Be my guest." "Take your pick." "How's Porthos doing?" "My sub-mammalian database contains no pertinent files on Bugles... but there's sufficient information on similar chordata." " Beagles." " Yes." "Let me ask you a question, Doc, just out of curiosity." "Are there any dogs on your home world?" "The Denobulan Lemur is highly sought after." "It's not exactly a dog, but you could say it's doglike." "It has a tail, fur." "Most have one head." " Did your medical training include any..." " Captain, please." "You needn't be concerned." "I hold six degrees in interspecies veterinary medicine." "I thought you were just, you know, a people doctor." "As a matter of fact, I've also earned degrees... in dentistry, haematology, botanical pharmacology..." "I'm impressed." "So, how's he doing?" "I believe I've eliminated the pathogen." "The question is whether my treatment... will stabilise his autoimmune system before..." "Before what?" "In a few hours, I'll have a more detailed prognosis." "Before what, Doctor?" "There are many harmless strains of bacteria that can become lethal... when the immune system is compromised." "But it is too early to be thinking about that." "Now we should both try to get a few hours of rest." "If there are any changes in his vital signs... the alarms are quite loud." "Good night." "I would have brought you some cheese... but Dr. Phlox wouldn't have let me give you any." "Doctor, are you all right?" "I'm sorry, Captain." "Did I wake you?" "Just trimming my toenails." "They grow quite rapidly." "Have to keep them groomed at least once a week." " Just wanted to be sure you're okay." " Thanks for your concern." "Good night." "I'm sorry, Captain." "Did I wake you again?" " What the hell's going on?" " Feeding time." "Don't be greedy." "How long was I asleep?" "Nearly an hour." " Does this go on every night?" " Only when I'm here." "They're very demanding when they know I'm in Sickbay." "Great." "Porthos?" "I'll still need at least a couple of hours." " Is he comfortable?" " He's fast asleep." "I'm glad to see someone is." "I'll check back in a couple of hours." "How's your dog?" "Nice of you to ask." "We'll know in a couple of hours." "Have you heard from your friends on the surface?" "Not yet." "I guess they haven't finished compiling their list of punishments." "They're not interested in punishing you." "They only want an appropriate apology." " I'm sorry." " For what?" "Just practising." "You shouldn't have brought your dog on a diplomatic mission... especially considering we had previously offended the Kreetassans." "They knew we were bringing him." "We even sent his genetic specs." "They could have asked us to leave him behind." "They didn't." "Porthos has the right to a little fresh air." "You're once again ignoring the consequences of your actions." "What's that supposed to mean?" "You obviously place more importance... on the quality of the air your pet breathes... than on the quality of the plasma that drives your ship." "What the hell does one have to do with the other?" "Isn't it logical I care about my ship... and my dog?" "I'm not questioning your pluralities." "I'm questioning your priorities." "I really thought you were beginning to understand something... about human feelings." "Not when it pertains to primitive quadrupeds... who haven't developed the ability to speak or to use a toilet." "What's the matter?" "I obviously can't keep up with you." "T'Pol." "We've just received a transmission from the Kreetassans." "It's their reconciliation demands." "The Captain's not going to believe this." "You'd be surprised, Hoshi." " Captain, I didn't..." " It's all right, Ensign." "We're on our way." "This isn't so bad." "I was sure there'd be something here about standing on one foot... with my eyes shut, reciting The Night Before Christmas." "I'm going back to Sickbay to see if I can get an hour's sleep... before the Doctor's results come through." "Tell me if this fits with your definition of an appropriate apology." "Do we have a chain saw on board?" "What's happening?" "He's going into anaphylactic shock." "His body's rejecting the treatment I selected." "You said we'd know in a few hours if this would work." "Exactly." "It's not working." "Is he going to die?" "Fill this with 5 cc of tetrasol." "It's the blue fluid, second on the right, 5 cc." "5 cc." " I don't think so." " What?" "You asked me if he was going to die." "Are you trying a different treatment?" " Let me guess." "We'll know in..." " A couple of hours, yes." "How are things progressing with the Kreetassans?" "They've got a perfectly good plasma injector sitting on a shelf somewhere." "But will they share with us?" "Not until I make a fool of myself by going through... some series of ritual apologies." "The fact that Porthos is on death's doorstep... doesn't seem to bother any of them." "They're the ones who should be apologising, not me." "T'Pol thinks I care more about my dog than my ship." "Isn't that delightful?" "Why does T'Pol's opinion concern you?" "She's my science officer, my second-in-command." "She should know, more than anyone aboard... how dedicated I am to this mission." "To every member of my crew." "You didn't answer my question." "Porthos has one paw in Beagle heaven... because these jerks didn't bother to look at his genetic profile." "Am I supposed to ignore that?" "I would think you'd be more interested in Commander Tucker's opinion." "You've known him for many years." "It'd be nice to have all five plasma injectors working... but it's not essential." "We can do fine with four, and the fifth one just started to act up." "We might get another 10 light-years out of it." "Have you considered that... you may be angry at more than Porthos and the Kreetassans?" "What?" "How long has it been since you were intimate with a woman?" "What?" " How long has it been..." " I heard you!" "I suppose you're going to tell me you have a degree in psychiatry, too." "Absolutely." "No way." "Not a chance." "Porthos is the only patient you're treating right now." "You got that?" "Let me know if there's any change." "Why haven't you adjusted your time to our capital city?" "I apologise." "We weren't aware that it was required." "It isn't a requirement." "It is simply a courtesy." "Something your species doesn't seem to understand." "I'll explain it to the Captain immediately." "You might also explain to your captain... that it's been nearly three hours since he received our transmission." "If he has the slightest hope of acquiring any technology from us... he'd be wise to pay us the courtesy of responding." "I understand." "I'll..." "I'll let him know." "Keep your head down!" "No matter what I do to secure her cage, she always finds a way to get out." "I thought you said your bat was terrified of that thing." "It should have been." "Pyrithian Moon Hawks eat these bats." "I know I got the silhouette right." "I mastered the call years ago." "That stuff isn't poisonous, is it?" "No, I'll be fine." "What now?" "We need to find her before we can catch her." "She'll stay up high." "Have you thought any more about why T'Pol's opinion is so important to you?" "It's 2:30 in the morning, and I'm hunting an escaped bat." "That's all I'm thinking about right now, Doctor." "That and Porthos." "Sexual tension, Captain." "There's no doubt in my mind." "By the air duct." "Do you see it?" "That's just the filter bracket." "For the past few months, I've noticed increasing friction... between you and the Subcommander." "You must understand I'm trained to observe these things." "With all due respect to your training, you're wrong." "T'Pol and I have been getting along just fine, so let it alone." "When a person thinks sexual attraction toward another is inappropriate... they often exhibit unexpected behaviour." "Such as inordinate anger toward comparisons made... between their ship and their Beagle." "Listen, Doc." " There's no sexual attraction." " She's coming back down!" " Look out!" " Don't let her in the corridor!" "Hey, are you all right?" "What are they trying to do to you?" "Bat." "The Kreetassans called, sir." "What for?" "They're anxious to get your response to their last transmission." "It's the middle of the night." "They also suggested that... we should synchronise our time to their capital city." "Did they?" "It's not a requirement, sir, just a courtesy." "Thank you, Ensign." "How's Porthos?" "I'll let you know in a couple of hours." " Everything okay?" " Nothing new." "I'll stay with him." "Thanks." "Unless you'd like to continue our discussion... regarding Subcommander T'Pol." "We are gathered here today... to bid a final farewell... to a faithful and kind colleague." "A friend who would never hesitate to offer his paw... in exchange for a simple smile... or a slice of cheese." "Like his namesake, this quadruped believed we should stand together." ""All for one and one for all."" "When a person thinks sexual attraction toward another is inappropriate... they often exhibit unexpected behaviour." "Go ahead." "Hoshi, you and the dog are clear to go... but I'm afraid I'll need to keep the other two for a while." "What's the problem?" "You both picked up a pathogen on the surface." "We'll have to try another decon agent." "Feel better." "Tell me, Captain, have you thought any more... about why T'Pol's opinion is so important to you?" "How long has it been since you were intimate with a woman?" "I dreamt..." "Porthos died." "Let's hope your dream wasn't prophetic." "Any indication on how your second treatment's doing?" "It doesn't appear to be doing very well." "An old girlfriend's mother had this Beagle I was crazy about." "Even after her daughter and I broke up, we stayed in touch." "When the dog got pregnant, I was the first one she called." "Four males in the litter." "The four musketeers." "I've had Porthos since he was six weeks old." "I grew up with dogs." "I can't remember not having one." "Did you have any pets when you were a kid?" "My people don't keep pets." "I thought you said something about... the Denobulan Lemur being highly sought after." "Very much so." "Their kidneys are considered a great delicacy." " I thought you might be hungry." " How very kind." "Was there something on their list about apologising on a full stomach?" "You read the Kreetassans' document?" "Sorry." "Sorry, I'm a little on edge." "I haven't slept very much, but I'm doing the breast I..." "The best I can." "I understand." "Ensign Sato and I have broken down the reconciliation demands... into specific categories." "If you're interested in reviewing them..." "My only concern right now is Porthos." " I'm sorry to have interrupted." " No." "No, it's okay." "When you get back to the Bridge, why don't you send me your lips?" "Lisp." "List." "Two Pillarian Slips within 30 seconds." "Interesting." "What're you doing?" "My treatment was effective, at least partially." "His immune system is stabilising... but his pituitary gland was severely damaged." "It's all but disintegrated." "Bring me the small grey cage on the second shelf, with the blue top." " What's in here?" " A Calrissian Chameleon." "Fill this for me." "I'll need to alter its DNA... but its pituitary gland should be compatible with your dog's." "You're performing a transplant from a lizard?" "Unless you have a better suggestion." "It's a shame, actually." "The chameleon secretes a rare toxin... that's useful in treating respiratory infections." "She's the last one I have." "What's the tank for?" "I'll need to super-hydrate the canine... in order to minimise the shock to his pulmonary system." "You're gonna drown my dog?" "Only for an hour, Captain." "There should be no problem resuscitating him... once the surgery is complete." "How many times have you done this before?" "Never." "Has anyone done this before?" "Not to my knowledge." "This isn't some guinea pig you're working on here." "This is Porthos, my Beagle, my pal." "From what you're telling me, the closest thing your people have to pets... are furry little things that go well with onions." "Perhaps you're right, Captain." "Perhaps I'm insensitive to the bond between you... and your subservient quadruped." "I'll leave the procedure up to you." "But whatever your decision, make it quickly." "Just for the sake of argument, let's say... that some of my anger toward T'Pol had a component of sexual tension to it." "I'm not saying it does, but just for the sake of argument." "Yes." "What do you mean, yes?" "You're the psychiatrist." "What am I supposed to do about it?" "Am I supposed to ignore it?" "Am I supposed to say something to her?" " Neither." " Neither?" "If you were ignoring it, you obviously wouldn't be seeking my opinion... especially under these circumstances." "As for discussing it with the Subcommander... that's entirely up to you, but I can't imagine an outcome... that would do anything but make matters worse." "Pass me the auto-suture, please." "The yellow one." "When will we know if the transplant's working?" "One step at a time." "First we need to resuscitate him." "So I can't ignore it, and I can't talk about it." "What do you suggest I do?" "Be aware of it, Captain." "Simply be aware of it." "You'd be surprised what a difference that'll make." "Lower the fluidic temperature 12 degrees." "If Porthos pulls through, will he need a special diet or treatments... having a chameleon's pituitary gland?" "You may have trouble finding him." "He'll have the ability to blend into his background when frightened." " You're kidding." " Yes, I am." "Does your expertise on sexual tension... come from professional training or first-hand experience?" "I do have three wives." " And they each have..." " Two husbands, besides myself." " Sounds very complicated." " Very." "Why else be polygamous?" " So these three wives..." " Each have three husbands." "A total of 720 relationships, 42 of which have romantic possibilities." "You told me you had five children." "How many are there in this whole extended family?" "Thirty-one, at last count." "You must miss them." "You've been away for over two years." "I'm ready for the synaptic inductor, the small blue one." "My children all left the nest years ago, Captain." "I would have never guessed." "You don't look that old." "I'll take that as a compliment." "My two daughters, I'm proud to say, followed in my footsteps." "One is a surgeon." "The other is a biochemist." "How about the other three?" "My eldest son's an artist." "A potter, actually." "He lives in the same town as his mother, creates beautiful things." "And the other two?" "My two younger sons and I never saw eye-to-eye." "I'm afraid we haven't spoken in quite some time." " I'm sorry." "I shouldn't have..." " It's perfectly all right." "You asked me if I missed them." "The answer is yes, every one of them." "The children, the wives, even the other husbands." "But we Denobulans live a long time, Captain... and right now there's nowhere I'd rather be... than serving with the Interspecies Medical Exchange... aboard this wonderful vessel of yours." "Listen, Doc, however this turns out..." "I want to apologise for accusing you of being insensitive before." "As I recall, you accused my entire species of being insensitive." "Then I apologise to you, and all your fellow Denobulans." "I can't speak for the others, but, on behalf of myself, I accept." "And to think T'Pol told me you were incapable of apologising." "Come in." "Subcommander." "Mr Tucker reports that... the new plasma injector is operating well within Starfleet parameters." "Did he tell you they gave us two spares out of the kindness of their hearts?" "Evidently the finesse you exhibited... outside the Hall of Diplomacy was appreciated." "Since I've been getting so much practice giving apologies..." "I thought I might give you one." " That's not necessary." " Yeah, it is." "I've been under a lot of stress lately." "Haven't gotten much sleep." " My dog..." " There's no need to apologise." "Whatever friction there's been between us..." "I'd like to try to minimise it." "Friction is to be expected whenever people work in close quarters... for extended periods of time." "I guess that's always been true." "Especially when the people are of the opposite sex." "Then it's good that you're my superior officer." "That we're not in a position to allow ourselves... to become attracted to one another, hypothetically." "If we were... the friction that you speak of could be much more problematic." "No apologies, Captain." "I promise." "I hear things went very well on the surface." "I doubt I would have even gone down there, if it hadn't been for you, Doc." "I owe you one." "You'll be happy to know, while you were gone, things went well here, too." " The transplant?" " Not the slightest sign of rejection." " Can I see him?" " By all means." "It's been one hell of a night, hasn't it?" "How soon can he leave?" "Now is as good a time as any." " But he's..." " Unconscious?" "Nonsense." "He's just asleep." "Come on, boy." "We're going home." "Sickbay's all yours." "You're welcome back anytime, Captain."

"SECOND SHOW" "Oh!" "What a rain pour." "is the bus to Kunnumpara gone already?" "Not yet." "Where do you have to go brother?" "It's little far off." "How far?" "No tell me exactly where you are going?" "How does it matter to you where l am going?" "Thank god." "A truck is coming." "Brother, could you please stop?" "Are you going through Kunnumpara route?" "No brother, we are going to Palakkad." "Okay, start now." "Come on" "Don't get drenched." "Are you from Kunnumpara?" "Yeah." "Have you ever been to prison brother?" "No right?" "I just got released today," "Why were you in prison?" "It's all because of some old mischief." "In fact there is a lot to say." "I think the bus won't come soon." "It's not enough dude, we need some more." "This is Kurudi." "His real name is Nelson Mandela." "Nelson Mandela P.P." "When he was admitted in school, the authorities said the name Kurudi is not acceptable." "The nun who took him there remembered that.." "..she found him wrapped in a People's Party paper on a June 18th." "June 18th being Nelson Mandela's birth date and having got him.." "..in a news paper, she just gave him the name Nelson Mandela P.P." "This is Ikru." "He is our constant companion." "He is Kurudi's only asset." "It is Ikru that actually changed my life." "Not now, later." "We didn't toil so much to earn our daily bread." "This is a gift for George." "Yeah, this is Sub Inspector George." "Move this side." "Oh, how dare you drive being drunk, bastard?" "What is your name?" "Nelson Mandela." "You will try to slip away right?" "Don't beat me please." "George became unconsciousness on the fifth hit." "But isn't it disgraceful to come back without.." "..returning him what he gave us?" "Come on." "Ikru dear, let's go." "Hey, Lalu." "What's the matter Ummar?" "Won't you come for night class today?" "Let me get fresh first." "By then you come home." "Okay dude." "Drive carefully dude." "Where is the forest..." "Where we can't fly and reach?" "Come on, let's go in." "Mom, mom." "What's the matter?" "What's there for dinner?" "When you see this, you might think it's his house and his mom." "But it is not." "This is my house and that is my mom." "In fact this is the only thing where l am jealous of him." "I can't express my love the way he does." "I will do it myself mom." "I know nothing is matched to your mom's care." "But if I allow that, she will find out about the swelling.." "..in my head which I got from Geroge's hit." "Do you remember today's significance?" "is it Gandhi Jayanthi?" "No is it?" "Today is your dad's death anniversary." "I cried." "Cried like hell." "Not because my dad passed away." "But because I couldn't watch the climax of the film." "Lalu." "Yeah Ummar." "Eat slowly Hari." "Look how he is eating." "Hey Ummar, did you have dinner?" "I had already mom." "How is your class going on?" "It's going on very well." "Does Lalu attend classes regularly?" "Of course he does." "He is the class topper." "Actually it's quite relieving that he goes to.." "..night class even though he wanders around during the day." "So, what are you planning after this?" "I may get a job in Dubai." "Most probably I will go next month." "Mom, I am leaving." "Hey Kurudi, we will meet at our galli after the class." "Okay dude." "Keep it on his head." "Fill it over dude." "What are you doing Velayudhan?" "Fill it there." "Do it fast." "Hey, keep it on the other side." "What are you looking at?" "Hey Lalu, since it's 8.30, you should be careful while you go." "Okay dude." "What?" "Nothing. I meant okay bro." "Hey, move move." "This way." "Move, move, move." "Pile up the sand that way." "You can start now." "Sweets." "is your class over?" "Did you finish it already?" "Yeah." "It's good fun to drink and merry without doing anything right?" "When you slog hard why should I bother to work buddy?" "Or else when I go to Dubai," "won't I send you few dollars, I mean Singapore dollars." "Just out of sympathy." "Please don't misunderstand me." "Okay." "Pour a peg for me." "You want that too?" "Hey Lalu." "What's the matter Ummar?" "Our boss asked us to go for one more trip... since there is no police patrol tonight." "He is not coming anywhere now." "Don't miss out an opportunity to make money Lalu." "Come on fast." "Go man." "I will come back soon dude." "Are you going buddy?" "Won't I come back soon dear?" "Don't go." "Keep it." "That's nice." "What is this Velayuthan?" "How can you smoke like this when there is a lot to be done?" "Move it faster." "As it is only few trips are over, we have many more to finish tonight." "Hey buddy, do it faster." "We need to send this as soon as possible." "Come on fast." "Fast." "Truck no.584, keep it started." "You could have waited in our place right?" "Buddy, Lalu." "What happened?" "Few rascals hit me." "Who the hell dare to do that?" "Listen, I wanted to drink more when I finished ours." "When I went to the toddy shop, that too was closed." "When I decided to go home, I saw Vinayan and group are drinking near the shed." "I requested them to give me some, and they hit me badly for asking that." "Did they really beat you up when you just asked for some booze?" "So don't you trust me?" "Hey." "Dude, actually..." "When I asked for some booze they denied." "Then, I just took the bottle and started running." "They started beating me too." "That was nice." "I have told our boys about this." "They will reach our place any moment." "So to how many people have you told this already?" "Abu, Neerali, Vikatan, Abuva, almost 15 people." "They will reach there now." "There are 15 people right?" "I don't think I am needed." "No, no." "That won't do." "You must come with me." "Hey, that won't be okay." "I have a lot of work here." "So you are trying to avoid me when I am in a trouble right?" "Not that dude." "Hey..." "This truck will be filled in 15 minutes." "We can be back by then dude." "Come on, get in." "Start the vehicle." "Let's go." "Bro, I will be back right away." "Lalu..." "Where the hell are the boys?" "They will come now." "How long are we waiting now?" "I am leaving." "Let's wait for some more time Lalu." "Just two more minutes." "Neither the ones who are supposed to hit nor the ones who are supposed to get hit haven't come." "See..." "Look carefully." "People will come even when Kurudi calls them, understand?" "Kurudi is quite something, you know?" "!" "Hello kids, daddy is right here." "Oh god!" "Lalu, run away." "They are the other group." "Escape." "This is what you will receive if you don't give booze to Kurudi." "Come on, get on the bike." "Hi..." "Raman bro." "Now I should sleep." "The day should begin." "A lot of things are to be done." "Get up man." "Can't you see I am sleeping?" "The mat is enough for you to pee at night." "I won't pee." "Keep this." "You dog." "Sleep now." "What happened last night was like a world war." "You should have been lucky to have witnessed it." "Listen bro, I was hitting people in spin mode." "I just beat the pulp out of them." "When I got a kick from the other side, I kicked his ass too." "Lalu had no idea how to fight, so I taught him some." "When two guys came through the other side, I hit one of them like this." "After that, the other guy came like this, I spin him." "When the last four guys came, I gave them back nicely," "After that, I just ran and reached Lalu's leftern side." "Hey Lalu, it was fortunate of us to not to have got caught by police." "What the hell did you do?" "Sorry dude, all this was because of Kurudi." "How many times did I indicate you to move the truck aside." "Shit!" "I shouldn't have gone at that time." "Hey, I will tell boss that the next time we will do it for free." "But we should have work right?" "Our boss is behind the bars now." "Anyways, our night class has come to an end with last night's incident." "I am worried if I should resume my peanut business like before." "Hey grandpa, get up." "I have a lot to say." "I just hit him, holding like this." "One, two," "Aren't you happy now when you lost my job?" "You lost your job?" "Hey don't beat me." "I have an idea." "Good lord." "I have an idea." "Let's take a puff and think." "Take off your hands." "Hey buddy, two cigarettes." "Hey, get up." "Let me eat." "Got it." "Got it." "What?" "Fighter Vavchan." "Fighter Vavchan." "11, 12, 13, 14." "This is Vavachan." "Not just simply Vavachan," "Fighter Vavachan." "He is the dear brother of Fighter Anthony who was a legend." "Once upon a time, Anthony was the biggest rowdy in town." "There was not a single soul who won't get scared hearing his name." "But, one day, shockingly..." "Didn't I say not to mess with me?" "Oh god!" "After this incident, Anthony's nick name went to his younger brother Vavachan." "Fighter Vavachan." "Even today, he is searching for the boy who.." "..threw the fire work at his brother." "What is the matter?" "Vavachan, this is Lalu." "He is my friend." "But who the hell are you?" "I am Nelson..." "Kurudi." "Tell me what the matter is." "He is in to a lot of problems." "Me too." "We came here to ask for some work." "is this a labour office to get you work?" "Not that, don't you have sand traffcking business?" "We will do a neat job of it." "You didn't say anything." "I have stopped that business a long time back." "Now I am in to seizing vehicles for which credit is overdue." "For that job, young kids like you are not enough." "Are we kids?" "You will understand who we are when you go to the government hospital and meet Inspector George who is admitted there." "He is there in the second ward struggling to breath." "Even if some 7-8 people come, nothing will happen to us Vavachan." "No way. lt will not work out." "You guys go find something else." "We have seized a bike for you Vavachan." "Isn't there a black RX 100 you were trying to seize since a long time?" "KL 11 D 8509" "Yeah." "KL 11 D 85..." "We have brought it." "The bike is outside." "Here is the key." "Which one is that one?" "Ikru's loss was more than what Kurudi could handle." "My dear kids," "Dear lord, who art in heaven," "Bless us." "This adventure was a totally new experience for us." "Vavachan taught us to open any kind of lock in no time." "Open it." "Move." "Stop it, slow down." "What are you doing?" "It's not opening." "I will get some water." "Lalu, Lalu." "There is no water here." "Oh!" "No, no, no." "Kurudi didn't think much." "Keeping fighter Vavachan in mind, he just hit the lock." "Due to god's grace we came across the right cables to open it." "Hey, you are doing it wrong." "15, 16, 17, 18." "Like that, we finished our first assignment successfully," "My dear kids." "Bless us." "Amen." "Mom." "Mom." "I am coming Hari." "Did you eat something?" "Not yet mom." "Get me something to eat." "Wash your hands and come in." "Seeing her gloomy face, I even doubted if that is again my dad's death anniversary." "What is the matter mom?" "I met Ummar's mom today." "He passed in his exams and has gone to Dubai." "When?" "It doesn't matter when he has gone." "He has written a letter to his mom saying that he has got a nice job." "Why don't you also try for a good job Hari?" "Don't worry dude." "We will find a solution for this." "It's all because of that bastard Ummar." "Why don't I tell mom that I have also got a good job?" "How will I ever get a job being like this?" "Babu, Sunil." "Start the work." "Get me one." "That Brahmin guy..." "Eureka!" "It was a blessing in disguise." "We got contracted to seize vehicles for that finance company," "Lift Lalu up." "Hey Neerali, dance man." "Vikatan." "Mom, did you see this?" "Your son has got a job in Sastha finance, as a Manager." "Our pretty little moon is the beauty spot in the dark blue sky." "Little trumpets are blowing all over." "It's little merry making in our minds." "And we are on a treasure hunt in our sweet little yatch." "Water is flowing knee deep in our little pond." "We are dipping in to the sea and gaining little precious pearls." "Even the sweet little birdie is singling along with us." "Our little golden dreams are blooming and blossoming." "Where the hell are you?" "Get inside the car." "We have a small work to do." "Come on man." "Unusually Vavachan was really serious." "I could see the fire in his eyes." "25 years..." "After long 25 years, Vavachan has found the killer of his brother Anthony." "The boy who threw the firework." "Hello, yeah, no." "Hello woman, which is Falgu's room?" "Which Falgu?" "The guy who has a black mole on his left chin." "Sir, he is in room no. 303." "What?" "303." "Hey, visitors are not allowed right now." "Hello." "Vavachan has no other thoughts in his mind at this moment." "He is thinking only about that firework boy with a mole on the left chin." "He left us." "is this Falgu?" "Go on." "Have I lost the way?" "Nurse, which is room no. 303?" "This is it." "But..." "Hey Abu, who is inside?" "It must be Falgu." "Turn that side man." "Falgu?" "Even the mole is correct." "So you are comfortably lying here inhaling oxygen and all?" "What the hell are you doing?" "What?" "Get off woman." "Go." "Move away." "I asked you to move." "What man?" "Move aside, move." "Move aside." "What are you doing?" "Have you any idea who that is?" "He is Vishnu Budhan's man." "Take her away man." "Shut up I say," "She just blew off all my stunt skills with one single slap." "Fighter Vavachan was extremely happy since he could avenge his brother's death after 25 long years." "He laughed as if he had blown away a fireworks company." "But we were wrong." "Hey Falgu, I will beat the pulp out of you." "You don't need oxygen." "You know what you did to my brother?" "Keep quiet." "Son..." "Did you just blow it?" "Whom are you playing with?" "A dead body doesn't need an apple." "is he dead?" "Come on." "Hey Vikatan, don't laugh so much." "Vavachan could have done the same even if you were with him." "Still, it was hilarious to watch Vavachan coming out from the room biting that apple." "It was awesome." "I am wondering how can this happen when you were around Lalu?" "He was beaten up right?" "Oh!" "Did you guys know about it?" "Hey, beat him man." "For us that day was like any other day." "But that news just shocked us." "They killed Vavachan." "How could he mess up with Vishnu Budhan's man?" "Who is Vishnu Budhan?" "Who is Vishnu Budhan?" "Hey, don't you know Vishnu Budhan?" "He is a big shot in the town." "We are jacked. I am sure." "Why don't we leave the place right away?" "Right away?" "To where?" "Let's go to Sethu's place then." "Why should we leave the place for a petty case like this?" "You have no idea what will happen." "Come on Lalu." "Come on man." "Lalu." "Get in guys." "Don't have to do a slow motion right now." "Come fast." "Hey, if we leave the place, those guys will go to my house looking for us." "Mom..." "We will shift mom to some other place." "Hey guys, we will meet at the old market at sharp 10." "Shut up man." "Abu, tell Sethu that we will be there." "Okay." "Lalu." "Mom, mom." "Are you sleeping yet?" "Why didn't you get ready?" "Get up, fast." "Faster." "Where are we going to get ready?" "That is... why don't we visit uncle?" "Really mom." "Let's go there." "Thank god!" "I am glad you have forgiven him at least now." "My dear Uncle is an arsehole who didn't even bother to look after us ever since my dad passed away." "I would have forgiven him, if this is the only issue." "But I will never forgive him for not letting me watch the climax of the film." "Come with me." "Are you Janardhanan?" "Yeah." "What is the matter?" "Lalu." "Stop." "Hey, who are you?" "Look who is here." "Devaki?" "Which is this car?" "This was given to Hari from his offce." "is it new?" "Hari, do you remember your poor uncle?" "Why are you standing here?" "Let's go in." "My uncle was just proving that he is better than a chameleon in changing colours." "Where are you working Lalu?" "I am working in a finance company," "Which one?" "Sastha Finance." "Hari is the manager there." "Sumathi, get some tea for them." "It's okay aunty." "I have a lot of work at the offce." "We are leaving right away." "No, that won't be done." "You can't go at this odd hour." "Let's go." "Mom will be here for a few days." "Tomorrow, I have a meeting at the offce." "I need to prepare for that." "Not just that the construction workers will come home tomorrow." "What's wrong with the house?" "Nothing special." "I am just renovating the house." "Won't it cost so much?" "For a Manager, it's not a big deal to arrange some 10, 20 lakhs." "20 lakhs?" "Okay then uncle." "We are making a move." "Hey, wait." "You haven't seen Geethu in a long time right?" "She mentioned about you even today. lsn't it Sumathi?" "Of course, yes." "Geethu..." "Geethu dear." "Get up." "Look who has come here." "It's our Lalu." "I will be just right back." "I will burn your family down if you try to let mom know whatever happened in the hospital." "You know me well right?" "I have taken a loan for 6 lakh rupees from Sastha Finance to build this house." "Won't we get some concession since Lalu is the manager?" "Just forget it." "The loan is covered up." "If I come to know that you tried to pay some money..." "Are you threatening me?" "What happened there was threatening." "Now it's hard core action." "Don't forget that." "Okay mom." "Bye bye Uncle." "Abu, start the car." "Dude, we are screwed." "Take reverse, fast." "Holy shit!" "Those guys have come." "Hey bro, please get out of the car." "Hey bro, it was a mistake by Vavachan." "Please don't screw us for that." "It seems these guys made a mistake." "So shall we let them go?" "Come out you," "Leave me." "Lalu, Vikatan." "Hey, lift him up." "Hold him." "Get him in to the car." "Did we try to run away fearing these jack asses?" "Vishnu Budhan." "Bloody Vishnu Budhan." "What is your name?" "La..." "Lalu." "He killed my confidante." "Yeah, but what do we do for that?" "I liked your work." "It has got a unique stye." "I have got some stuff at Soochikkotta." "You should deliver it at the right place." "When I hid my fear within me," "Budhan would have thought that I am really brave." "I am sorry about the other day." "Never mind, I am used to this." "What about your family?" "I have a wife and two daughters." "Are you completely in to this?" "I am a police officer." "I am serious. I am a constable." "But now I am suspended from service." "Then why are you in to this?" "Shouldn't I look after the family?" "I have two daughters." "How can I live with my petty salary from the service?" "Yeah, right." "There was a man in a far away place." "There was a forest beyond time and gaze." "He used to walk beyond hills and valleys." "He used to cross rivers and barriers." "Oh god!" "Time is burning in my eyes." "Everything is in to flames." "Oh god!" "He sings his angst." "Isn't everyone the best?" "How is the stuff?" "The stuff is good." "Rajiv ji, they are Budhan's new people." "Hello." "Yeah, hello." "How much did he ask for?" "He just asked us to deliver it here." "Budhan sir said the rest you will decide through telephone." "What is he saying?" "He is saying that he was asked to deliver it here." "The rest of the things we should fix though phone." "What will be their demand?" "Hello Budhan ji." "Yeah." "Your stuff has reached here." "But we haven't discussed about the rates yet." "Okay." "That is too much sir." "It is unreasonable sir." "Yeah, why don't you talk to Surabhi?" "One minute." "Hey, what will I do?" "Hello." "Yeah, yeah." "Okay." "Three boxes means three fucking boxes!" "Hi." "is sir at home?" "Dad is, come on in." "We will wait here." "No need for tea and all." "What the hell are you doing?" "What is your name?" "Sidhu, Sidharth Budhan." "These filthy rich cunts have got a different air even in their names." "Keep quiet man." "Lalu..." "We are on a quest to find the clouds." "We are tired carrying our own selves." "Aren't we all one and the same?" "Isn't the entire world our own home?" "Oh god!" "Didn't you earn it with your actions?" "The doctor said, you would have been dead if it was an inch above." "Why don't you try to live a decent life at least from now on?" "You know what, we do the most decent job in our locality." "What can be expected of you guys?" "Aren't you friends with him?" "Nurse, I want to live decently." "Let me earn some money, I will not do this after that." "We have come." "What happened dude?" "Did you kill him?" "Those who hit you are not alive any more." "Move aside bro." "Hey buddy." "Please give me way." "All those losers are dug under the earth now." "Let her go Abu." "Just for fun." "How are you bro?" "Give one to this bro." "Let him drink, sister." "Lalu, shouldn't we visit your house?" "It's been a long time since I have come there." "We will all go there one day." "Don't worry dude." "I am with you right?" "I am wondering what I will tell mom." "Just go and bring her here." "I will take care of the rest." "What about the stuff?" "One of us will take care of it." "You go and have great fun buddy," "When the drum gets beaten, we have great fun." "When the elephant slogs hard, we are on a run." "No matter what happens, we are on a ride" "Even the sand dances to the tunes of the tide." "Hey you sweet rascal, you are going to get beaten." "When you get it nicely you will learn a lesson." "When the drum gets beaten, we have great fun." "When the elephant carries weight, we are on a run." "What if the horse is given a horn?" "What if the grass hopper is given more height?" "It will wander all over and turn the world upside down." "It will leave nothing behind." "It will ruin our peace of mind." "It will change our lives forever, so let's not have anymore." "Hey Lalu, our Geethu is actually nice." "She is really sweet." "Nice girl." "Not that, I mean she is a hot chic." "Who is a hot chic?" "Who is a hot chic?" "Me, I mean me." "Look at him, he is fully drunk." "What happened?" "Which is the forest?" "Where we can't fly and reach." "Yeah, I even made a nest in the beautiful tree trunk." "In the beautiful tree trunk." "Vikatan ran away." "Why would he run away?" "To where?" "Dude, don't blabber when you are high." "That scoundrel ran away with Vishnu Budhan's money." "Holy shit!" "Hey, he..." "Hey, Budhan's car is seen." "You guys are drunk right?" "Would you like to have one?" "Yeah, sure." "Does your dad know you drink?" "He will kill me if he knows." "Still I drink secretively." "Okay then, we are making a move." "Did you come just like that Sidhu?" "Yeah, I just came here since I was passing through this place." "You guys have fun, good night." "Hello." "Sidhu." "Yes, dad." "Bring that bag from Lalu." "Okay dad, I will bring it." "Didn't you give the bag to dad today?" "We will give it." "No, he asked me to get it from you." "Didn't we say we will give that directly?" "Why can't you give me?" "We don't feel like." "Don't mess with me, or else I will inform dad." "Or did you give it to someone else?" "No, no." "Hey..." "No bro." "Let's go from here." "Come let's go." "You will have to answer for this Lalu." "Get off." "Go." "Act your age." "Don't show off too much." "Lalu..." "Hey Kurudi." "Lalu, run." "Run away." "You son of a bitch, I will not spare you guys." "Mind it." "I don't know if I will have another day in my life." "But if I have, I will make them answer for this." "That is for sure." "Hey Neerali, he gained consciousness." "Go inform the doctor." "Help me to get up." "Slowly," "We should not spare any of them." "Just look at yourself." "We will act at the right time dude." "Did mom know about what happened yesterday?" "What?" "It's almost a week since you are hospitalized." "Have you any idea how much we struggled to find you?" "Don't worry, mom doesn't know anything." "We have warned her also." "Visitors should wait outside." "We need to check the patient." "Ummar's mom used to say that usually,.." "...one's children are the enemies from their past life." "But in my case it is in the form of my cousin." "Hello." "Okay." "Let's escape." "Budhan's men are here." "Lalu, Budhan has sent people to kill us." "What the hell are you doing?" "Shut up." "Hey please listen." "Geethu, if mom asks tell her I have gone abroad for official purposes." "Where are you going?" "To Punjab." "Where is Kurudi?" "He is admitted in the ward downstairs." "Hey Kurudi." "Run off, Budhan is coming." "Come on." "It was an aimless journey, I have no idea how far we went." "Finally we reached Sethu's place." "How long have I been inviting you home?" "And finally this is how you are coming." "That is destiny," "Come on in." "Thanks." "What for?" "Because you didn't tell anything to anybody, I didn't tell anything, not because you threatened me." "Then?" "Anyways, aunty will find out the truth soon." "When I was lying in that drainage, I had never imagined that I will witness another new year like this." "I wanted to take revenge for all that happened." "That car came reinforcing my desires." "Dude... lt was you!" "Did you get a trip to Kashmir?" "Hey, nothing like that." "It is that boy's clothes." "Which boy's..?" "Boss, happy new year." "Girls get in." "Francis road." "Do you want it to be air conditioned?" "AC." "Do you have a lighter?" "I have a match box." "But don't smoke inside this." "You can lower the window and smoke." "I have no issues, but my boss has given me instructions." "That is why." "I will smoke inside itself." "Give me the match stick." "Sorry, I can't give you." "I booked this taxi. I will smoke, drink and even fuck around." "Who the hell are you to question me?" "Who the hell am I?" "Sir, could you please come out for a second?" "Holy shit!" "You must smoke from inside right?" "Stop your bloody laughter." "Now those guys will come looking for us." "Hey, I haven't told him that we are all here." "If you inform your dad about this and come looking for us in the Pavadamukku area, Lalu will beat the pulp out of you." "Son of a bitch." "Everybody was worried thinking whether to be worried." "And soon we got an answer for it." "Sethu." "Leave me Abu." "Let me see." "Holy crap!" "Didn't you see this Lalu?" "They ruined everything." "What do we do now?" "Lalu, this must be Budhan's people." "Let's move to some other place." "Where will we go?" "We are not going anywhere." "Aren't you happy now?" "Leave him." "This is... lt's ringing from your pocket." "It is that boy's phone." "Who is calling?" "D A D." "It is Vishnu Budhan." "Attend the call." "Listen Sidhu, our truck is coming that way." "KL 112905." "You must keep an eye on it." "Hey, turn right, right." "He was going to Francis road." "Get off you..." "Sethu..." "Take it." "Take the stuff." "Fast, fast, fast." "Hello." "Did the truck go son?" "Not just the truck daddy, even your stuff is gone." "Who the hell are you?" "You will slowly understand who I am." "Whatever you were doing till now was a mock game." "We will show you the real game from now on." "The rain has stopped." "Why don't we slowly start walking?" "You are right." "I don't think we will get the bus if we wait anymore." "Let's walk up to the highway." "We may get a taxi from there." "Then what happened?" "We started again from where we stopped." "SECOND SHOW" "We don't want Budhan's stuff." "Isn't he dealing with Fellini now?" "You leave those things to us." "How much will you give for this?" "Say that." "What is going on?" "This is not Budhan's stuff." "This is ours." "Mine." "Come on in kids." "Come in." "Hello." "Where is our stuff?" "But aren't you dealing with Fellini?" "Don't fuck with me bitch." "You don't know me enough." "We only have to fear the elephant, not its poo." "Elephant poo!" "Elephant poo." "Elephant poo." "Elephant poo." "Devaki, Hari has come." "Hari, you look nice now." "Why did you come alone?" "Had we known earlier, uncle would have come to pick you from the airport." "Yeah." "That's okay aunty." "Hari..." "Have you eaten?" "Yeah mom. I had." "Come in." "Come." "Geethu." "Yeah." "Are you reading something?" "Yes." "Argentina is my favourite football team." "Last year, Brazil won the match." "But we will win the game in 2006." "Saddam Hussain is my favourite leader." "But Bush can't do anything against him." "Why are you telling me about your favourite things?" "Then I will tell you what I don't like." "I just don't like your dad, my uncle." "It's high time he should be under the grave." "If you don't like my dad, why did you come here with your mom?" "It is then that I understood, there is one good thing he had done." "I have an interview at the Airlines tomorrow." "If you get me that job, I will consider this." "Did you buy this from Poland?" "What?" "Yeah, yeah." "Poland." "Dad, I am leaving." "Pray to god before you leave dear." "Nothing will happen because of that." "Hey, your folder." "I am just considering it as an experience." "Drop her in the car." "Okay mom." "Hey..." "You sit behind." "Sit behind." "Geethu, you sit in front." "No thanks. I will sit behind." "Listen to what I say Geethu." "Sit in front." "Do whatever." "Isn't that our boys?" "Hello." "Which theater?" "Okay." "Let's go to Sobha theater." "Why are we going to a theater?" "I have an interview." "I have to go that side." "We will watch a film and go sister." "This is just an advance." "Don't forget about next week." "Hey Kurudi..." "Who is that cute saree chic?" "Sister." "Whose sister?" "His sister." "Hello." "What is your name?" "Geethanjali." "It's enough." "How long should I wait?" "Hey do we..." "Yeah, at Pulimmottu, didn't we?" "Don't you remember sir?" "Now I got you." "How come you are here?" "I am all in all here." "Then, she must have got the job already right?" "She is my cousin." "Geethu, Geethanjali." "Why not?" "She is highly talented." "We were just discussing about it." "You will be able to join tomorrow itself right?" "Yeah." "Please get the appointment order from downstairs." "I will inform them." "Okay sir." "Thanks." "What for?" "I had never imagined that I will get this job." "You got this job, not because you are blessed." "It's because we share such a good relationship." "You won't give the key right?" "You can't vacate the house right?" "Please, please." "Please leave me." "I will do whatever you say." "Don't be afraid." "So you vacate the house tomorrow itself and give the key to Vavachan." "Please." "I will give back the key." "Will..." "Will..." "Will you..." "Will you, will you..." "Will you..." "Will you..." "Will you marry me?" "Not me, him." "Will you marry me?" "No." "I said like that yesterday because I thought I will never get this job." "First you earn a decent living." "I will consider then." "To fall in love with a goon, it's not a movie right?" "Kurudi watched a lot of English films just to make this work." "And finally it ended like this." "Boys come on." "is the little water lilly blooming?" "Or are the birds making a nest for the new one?" "I don't understand what is going on." "What's with you brother?" "I really don't like the way it is your people are dealing with me." "Come on Fellini." "I guarantee you..." "You will get more than what you have asked for." "Two of my lorries will be under your belt." "Lalu is behind all this." "This is just a petty game by ball-less kids." "Let them play it." "Do you want grass?" "He is asking if you want stuff?" "How much?" "Just 1000 rupees only." "This much costs only 10000." "Then how can it be 1000 for a candy like that?" "Lalu..." "We knew that you are here." "Kurudi, I made a mistake." "That is okay," "We just wanted to play with you." "It's okay dude." "This was just a game." "How did you find me?" "Kohinoor Leela." "You guys haven't lef her even after crossing expiry time right?" "Vikatan..." "Didn't you escape by an inch's difference then?" "That will not happen again." "is the barren land becoming fertile?" "Or is it reaping gold on its own?" "Who is building the grand palace?" "Or who is gathering all the force?" "Yeah Surabhi." "Did the stuff reach?" "Not yet." "When will it reach?" "Just 10 minutes." "10 minutes." "Where have you reached?" "We have..." "Turn the vehicle." "Church road." "Stop it guys." "Okay dude." "Who is building the grand palace?" "Or who is gathering all the force?" "Aunty, your son has come." "Why are you standing outside?" "Come on in." "Have tea." "Gulp it fast." "You will be fresh." "is it enough?" "May I give you one more cup?" "It is enough." "Let's go home Hari." "What is going on here?" "Please tell me clearly." "I will tell you." "Hope you know that I have taken a loan of 6 lakh rupees from your finance company." "It has become 10 lakh rupees, including interest." "I didn't pay back the money because your friend Kurudi told me not to." "Did Kurudi say so?" "I had no idea uncle." "Now you have an idea right?" "You don't worry Uncle." "I will take care of it." "Didn't I tell you he would not have been aware of it?" "Yeah." "Won't that loan be written off son?" "Even though he agreed to write off the loan, shouldn't we go there and confirm it?" "But for that, why are you taking me along?" "Oh, that is because..." "Do you think I will spend 100 bucks on the auto just like that?" "I am concerned about your future." "You should have an idea about his work space." "Stop here." "How much is it?" "100." "Here, keep it." "Come." "You are really lucky dear." "Isn't the Manager in the offce?" "Have you got an appointment?" "I am his uncle." "Why do I need an appointment?" "He will come only by 12." "Please wait till then." "Okay, I will wait." "Sir has come." "Lalu, we have been waiting for a long time." "I am sorry uncle, my flight was delayed." "You go sit inside." "Mom said that I can't be a government offcial since I have failed in high school." "But since you wanted your husband to be an offcer, I bought a few shares here." "Now I am earning more than 3 lakhs a month." "Now you can fall in love with a rowdi like in the movies right?" "If you had proposed today, my answer wouldn't have been like the other day." "The sun is fading away in to the ocean." "But you are with me as a lovely moon." "The breeze is patting me gently." "The waves are embracing my foot slowly," "Tme is passing by." "You are leaning on to me." "You are patting my cheeks and singing a melody in my ears." "For the dream to stay and for the love to bloom, I searched for you in my own self." "Could you please stop it?" "What happened dear?" "Didn't you like the song?" "Nothing." "You can play it." "You go get a bouquet." "Why do we need a bouquet?" "Go buy one." "I need to present it someone." "I don't feel like getting out now." "You can buy if you want to buy," "Please go dear." "You buy one." "Why are you doing this sweets?" "Get out man." "You guys think of me like an intruder right?" "Go go." "What do you want?" "I haven't taken money." "Bro, just a second." "Hey, give me some money." "Dude." "You get inside." "Open it dude." "I will show you, scoundrel." "Lalu." "Kurudi was not immortal." "Our journey was never one with a clear objectives." "With each second passing by, it was multiplying." "I avenged Kurudi's death even before his blood stains got dried." "I have a son." "Hello sir, what is your take on such a big raid?" "Since Soochikkottai had a lot of grass plantations, it was under strict police observation since a long time." "Have you any idea who and all is behind this?" "Hello, stop, stop." "I will come and meet you later." "Fast, fast." "Go." "Come on guys." "Come on." "What are you doing?" "Before it burns completely, pour water on it." "I was in a state of disillusionment." "Since I had surpassed Budhan, I could see nobody when I looked up." "The empire Budhan had created over a long 16 years had become mine in one instant." "I was on the pinnacle of a big mountain, which anyone with a little valour and luck could have easily climbed." "Your uncle came yesterday." "He wanted to make it happen soon." "What are you talking about mom?" "What else?" "It's about you and Geethu." "The astrologer had informed us about an... ..auspicious day in the beginning of the year." "Long ago..." "Long ago, I hated you the most in my life." "But today, you mean everything to me." "It's not because you are affluent or powerful." "I am ready to live with you in any kind of hell." "All I want is your love till the end." "Hari, you have a visitor." "You were talking about an auspicious day right?" "Yeah." "Hey, Sachi." "What brings you this way?" "The new commissioner has taken charge here." "Shouldn't we go meet him?" "I will deliver his due share through Sethu." "Not that, I heard he is really strict." "It will be nice if you go meet him in person." "Okay, I will do that." "Okay then, let me go." "Have you eaten something?" "No, I will go home and eat." "My wife and kids will be waiting for me." "Okay." "Okay." "Hey Sachi, just a minute." "Give this to your kids." "What's the matter?" "You seem really happy." "You decided to marry her right?" "is the commissioner inside?" "He is in a meeting." "You can wait upstairs." "Okay." "Our external affairs ministry stated that we will improve our relationships with Pakistan." "Today, the police force and anti narcotics division raided Soochikkottai and captured almost 250 acres of hemp plant." "The police have arrested four people with regard to this." "Abubakkar, Sethunath, Neerali alias Jose and Lalu alias Harilal are the ones who got arrested today." "The police have informed that another three have escaped." "The Deputy General of Police have informed us that they are trying to catch them." "Now a short break." "Sachi, Sachi..." "Bribery is the most crucial problem we are facing in our department." "I really hope you will keep your spirits up till the end of your service." "Vishnu Budhan is the most powerful drug dealer in town." "I am sure you would have heard about his influence in media and political forces." "It won't be an easy job to arrest him." "We will get proper evidence sir." "It is of no use by gathering just evidence." "When he is gone, another one will arise." "So we must try to wipe out all of it completely." "Don't approach Budhan directly." "Use an undercover operation for that." "My target was Budhan." "But since you started rising above him, I started running behind you." "Now you will not be able to come out so easily." "You can't sentence me for death right?" "Maximum a year or two." "The court will take care of that." "Moreover we are smart enough to do what is needed to keep you in forever." "Don't you have two daughters?" "Lalu, I am getting married next month." "I will send the first invitation card to the prison for you." "Lalu, aren't we still friends?" "Having a single friend like you is as equal to have a thousand enemies." "We will meet again." "Sachi could not get evidence for the murders I did." "But for other crimes, the court sentenced me for 5 years imprisonment." "Lalu..." "Are you done?" "Yeah." "But I will be back." "Buddy, I am getting released today." "It's not like what Abu and Neerali had promised." "I will defnitely kill him." "My mind was getting older with each passing day," "The first two years felt like two generations." "It's not because you are affluent or powerful." "I am ready to live with you in any kind of hell." "As always, money is a woman's first lover." "Like father, like daughter." "There was neither a kingdom nor a queen waiting back home for me." "All that vanished beyond my reach." "Mom." "I am sorry mom." "Will you do it again?" "Oh dear, isn't it shameful to cry being a boy?" "Come back son." "I will be there for you." "It's okay sweety." "I am there for you right?" "Don't do such things again." "Don't cry dear." "I will be waiting." "Wipe your tears Hari." "The rest of the three years felt like three minutes." "Don't they know you will come today?" "My mom doesn't know, but my friends knew." "I don't know whether they were busy or forgot about it." "But nobody came there today." "We are screwed." "You run off." "I need to reach home." "And I will." "Lalu." "This is my first assignment." "Sidhu, done." "THIRD SHOW"

"I'm ready to bring him to you." "Finally." "Finally." "Mr. Proctor." "Hello, Kai." "Hold the work." "Clear the room." "I'll call you guys later." "Would you excuse us, Burton?" "Last time you spoke to me we were pulling yams in your father's field." "You barely even had that beard yet." "I've come to talk to you about Rebecca." "How is your daughter?" "There's no need to pretend." "I know that she talks to you." "She defies every other rule, so why not that one?" "I wouldn't have come if I didn't think" "She is my daughter and I love her." "But she is getting lost." "What happened to you has saddened me." "I don't want to lose her." "I understand." "She trusts you." "And because of that maybe she would listen to you." "Maybe she would." "Good." "I still pray for you, Kai." "And they were carrots, not yams." " Don't you got to get going?" " Mm." "I don't think a few kids in Saturday detention will be too crushed if I'm a little late." " Hey." " What's wrong?" "Ah, nothing." "I'm just distracted." "You've been distracted for the last year, Dan." "Yeah, well, there's a lot going on at work." "Well, what about what's going on here?" "Or not going on, actually." "Well, I'm just a little bit stressed out." "Okay." "I've got to go to work." "Four casino guards two drivers, and another in the back." "I've studied the photos and the schematics." "And it's like I said, we ain't getting into that truck once it's closed." "Well, we can't take them in that loading bay if that's what you're thinking." "We'd be dead inside a minute." "You got a better idea?" "Yeah, anything but that." "Can we please set you up with a computer and Quicken or some shit?" "Looking at you is like watching the History Channel." "You of all people should know that computers are not secure." "Yeah, there's a million hackers in China just dying to get their hands on your financials." "These aren't rent-a-cops." "This is Longshadow's hand-vetted security team." " They'll die for him." " So, what then?" "We need a friend in the truck." "Lord, I was afraid you were gonna say that." "Hood." "I'll be there." "Oh, for fuck's sake, I know it was her." "I can hear your heart beating from here." " She says she has a fence for the stones." " Just like that?" "Fucking spectacular." "After 15 years, she just suddenly found someone." "That's what she said, Job." "There is no fence, man." "You know it." "Maybe not." "Then why are you going?" " Because it's her." " She is not her anymore." "And whoever she is, she's gonna get you killed." "We'll see." "There is pussy-whipped and then there is that hopeless motherfucker." "Oh, for fuck's sake." "Hey." "Just like old times." "Don't get too attached." "This is just unfinished business." "We got no shortage of that, right?" "Where'd you find these guys?" "I started putting out feelers when you came to town." "A guy in Jersey came through." " You trust him?" " If I trusted him, you wouldn't be coming along." "God, you were always better at this than me." "Fuck!" "I'm sorry." " Ana, what are you doing?" " What I have to do." "Oh, fuck." "I'm sorry." "Fuck." "Well, honey, is there a particular brand you want?" "I mean..." "Well, how about whichever one gives us a yes, huh?" "All right, baby." "Bye." "Fuck my shit." "Don't fucking move!" " Okay." "Just calm down." "Shut the fuck up, cop!" "Keep your hands up, motherfucker." "No!" "Jesus!" "Lance, was that fucking necessary?" " He reached for something." " Please, let me help him." "Get on your fucking knees." "Get on your fucking knees!" "Please, no." " Fuck me." " Finish him!" "Finish him!" "Let's go!" "Fuck me." "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want." "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil, for thou art with me." "Surely goodness, mercy, and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." "Alma, I've got a robbery in progress." "Shots fired and a civilian down in the drugstore." "Go, go!" "Stop!" "Hey!" "Step away from that car!" "You should've finished him in the store, you pussy." "It was a highly charged situation." "And what do you call this?" "Killing a cop has ramifications." "Jesus!" "Fuck!" "Sir, are you all right?" "Okay, look, stay here." "I'll call an ambulance." "Alma, they're on foot heading towards the Oak Street parking garage." "Brock, they just crossed Oak Street." "Repeat, they just crossed Oak." "That fucker is still coming." "Suspects heading towards Banshee High School gymnasium." "I said stop!" " No!" " Come here!" "No!" "No!" " Aah!" " Let her go now!" "Ow, fuck!" "No!" "Do you have any idea what kind of shitshow you just started?" "One of these days we're gonna find you a functioning set of balls." "Oh, great." "Good old BHS." "Shit, more cops." "Help him up!" "They ain't gonna come in." "Not when we have us a hostage." "Mrs. Kendall?" " What the fuck is this?" " It's detention." "Get down here now!" "Get down from there!" "Get up!" "Move your ass!" "Get over here!" "Now!" "Well, this is new." "I must have gotten the dosage wrong." "You shouldn't have woken up yet." "You called him?" "I gave you every chance to leave." "I begged you." "I didn't want to leave." "I would tell you to think about what you're doing but I'm guessing you already have." "I'm protecting my family." "You really think he won't come after you?" "That's the deal." "He's gonna torture me to find you." "And you're not gonna tell him." "I'm gonna sing my fucking lungs out." " Goodbye." " Hey." "I'll catch up to you." "Anything else?" "Yeah, one of them is named Lance." "This place was like church to me." "We were 1983 state champs." "I started at point guard." "You know how many points I averaged a game, Future Horse?" "Twenty points." "Nice." "Goddamn nice." "Get down." "Get down." "Any movement in the front?" "No, all the doors are chained up except this one." " Okay, that'll help us." " Let me see this." "Fuck." "All the doors are padlocked shut." "There's no fucking way out of here." " Lance, can we focus?" " Can you get off my dick?" "We've got to get the fuck out of here." "Oh, I forgot." "You hate this place, don't you?" " Hey, look what she's got." " Hey, hey, hey!" "What, are you filming us?" "Feisty, huh?" "Leave her alone." "They're just kids." "But you're not, are you?" " You called Hood, right?" " Hood's off today." "He's out of town on personal business." " Brock, he's the sheriff." " All right, fine." "Alma, get me the sheriff." "I've been trying him." "No answer." "Why am I not surprised?" "I just say we go in." "No, we wait." "They've already killed one person." "We're not rushing in." "All right, listen, keep me here, but let the students go."

"NARRATOR:" "Previously on Hostages." "This is Vanessa Moore." "My sister." "You are a beautiful woman." "KRAMER:" "This guy came at us." "He pulled a gun." "I killed him." " Kramer Delaney?" " Why do you wanna talk to me?" "I can explain downtown." "I'd like you to meet Special Agent Carlisle with the FBI." "He's helping us in our investigation into the disappearance of your friend, Angela." "So what do you think?" "She telling the truth?" "My gut tells me she's credible." "There's just no way out of this." " Unless..." " Unless what?" "We kill him." "What about the poison he gave you?" "We just need some professional help here." "I don't have a lot of killers on my speed dial." "You?" "I might know someone who does." " Ellen?" " I need help." "Of course." "Tell me everything." " Who is this?" " We have a lot to discuss." "Killing Duncan is a terrible mistake." "The second he's dead, my partners will cut their losses and slaughter each and every one of us." "Brian, it's me." "Just..." "I'll explain everything later, but call me back, as soon as you can, okay?" "Nice job." "No, no, no, no, no!" "Stop!" "(GRUNTING)" "(DUNCAN GROANING)" "We need him alive." "Don't move." "Don't, don't." "We need to minimize the poison spreading through your body." "Let me do it." "I spoke to Burton, I get it." "If you die, we die." "What the hell are you doing?" "This is our chance, just kill him!" "Just do it, just get it over with!" " Just do it!" " We can't." "I'll explain later." "Please just get my medical bag, I need a scalpel." "Why the hell are you doing this?" "This is the poison you gave me to use on the President." " Some of it went in." "I need to know what it is." " It's a paralytic." "It's fast acting." "I'll lose muscle function, the ability to breathe, speak." "I'm not dead yet, you move an inch and I'll put you down for good." " Drop it." " ELLEN:" "How much time do we have?" " A few minutes." " I need to cut it out." "There's a knife in my hip, use it." "(GROANING)" "This is gonna hurt." "Ellen, just kill him." "Do this, and we get our lives back." "Everything just goes away." "Ah." "We need ice." "Brian, like it or not, our lives depend on his right now." "There are other people behind this, and if he dies, they will come for us." "You need to trust me." "Stay with me, Duncan." "Stay with me." "ELLEN:" "You're lucky." "Two more minutes and you would have been dead." "The wound will heal in a couple of days." "You made the right decision last night." "Well, I can see the full picture now." "We are in this together." " Which is why I'm willing to cooperate." " Good." "But there's something else we need to be clear on." "You went to my daughter's school." "My family is off-limits to you, do you understand that?" "Stay away from them." "(CLEARING THROAT)" "His name is Tim Grace." "He's 46 years old." "Private security guard and limo driver." "Right." "Like I said, I've never seen the guy." "He died last night." "Got in a fight." "That's too bad, but I have no idea what that has to do with me." "A surveillance camera two blocks away from the crime scene picked up a dark, four-door sedan leaving the area shortly after this happened." "The car is registered to you." "So, I'm here because I was in Bethesda?" "We gotta start somewhere, right?" "So, look, just to cross you off the list, tell me what you were doing up there that night." "Stop talking to my client." "Okay, Kramer, let's go." " Well, who the hell are you?" " His father." "And lawyer." " We're done." " I didn't say the interview was over." "Are you charging him with anything?" "Then it's over." "Let's go." "I put that needle in his body and you took it out." "I told you, killing him would not solve our problem, this is a conspiracy that goes way beyond Duncan." "According to the lawyer." "Who's part of it." "What makes you believe him?" "Open your eyes, Brian, the Secret Service, the FBI, this is much bigger than any one man." "So what?" "You're not even listening to me." "If I'd killed him, we'd all be dead." "What's your plan?" "You're gonna trust some guy who's trying to kill the President?" "We need to figure out the big picture." " Who's behind this, and why?" " Where do we even start?" "Burton, Kramer, Duncan, they're all related." "I say we start with his family." "He warned you to stay away from his daughter." "You'll never get near her again." "That's why I'm going after his wife." "This is a medical bill for Nina Carlisle." "She's a patient at Beth Zion hospital." " You are out of your mind." " Nope." "Just determined." "The Dutch ambassador will make the opening remarks at the reception tomorrow night." "All you need to do is stay awake." "I'm sorry about yesterday." "I was out of line." "Forget it." "I wish your sister was that forgiving." " Who said I forgave you?" " Huh." "Hello, Quentin." "Vanessa, have you met Colonel Blair?" "Not in person, but I read about your appointment to the NSA." "DC must be a nice change from Bagram Air Force Base." "The food is better." "Traffic is worse." "Mr. President, gentlemen, I'll leave you to it." "Have a seat." "You can shut the door." "I want to talk about Operation Total Information." "Colonel Blair, I know that you've been running point on this program since you arrived at the NSA." " How's it going?" " OTI's been a valuable tool for us, Mr. President." "We've used it to thwart hundreds of terrorist attacks." "Yeah, I understand." "But I've decided it's time to give it up." "Mr. President, I thought you weren't going to make any major policy moves until after the midterm elections." "I changed my mind." "Are you sure that's prudent?" " OTI could be a political disaster for us." " Exactly." "It's unconstitutional." "It's invasive." "Illegal." "When the American people find out the extent to which this government's been secretly spying on its own citizens..." "Surveillance devices in cars?" "Computers?" "They're gonna demand my head on a stake." " OTI has to end." " You want to dismantle it." " I want to expose it." " But why take the risk?" "Right now, nobody even knows OTI exists." "Well, this is Washington, Quentin." "It's never a question of if something will be leaked, but when." "This is a time bomb." "And I want to get in front of it." " But, Mr. President..." " I understand completely, sir." "You want to control the message." "It makes sense." "The program was already in place before you took office." "But, you couldn't expose it until now, for national security reasons." "Exactly." "Claim the moral high ground." "When were you thinking of making this announcement?" "Well, I haven't decided." "Soon." "I wanted to give you both a heads-up." "I appreciate your getting on board with this, Colonel." "Hoffman asked me to pull financial records for Ellen Sanders." "What exactly does he know?" "It's not what he knows, it's where he's looking." "He keeps coming back to Dr. Sanders." "She's linked to the surgery, the blood thinner incident," "Angela's disappearance, the men in the bar." " Does he have any hard evidence?" " Nothing." "But he's convinced that she hasn't told him everything." "Has he talked about this with anybody else?" "I don't think so." "BURTON:" "Good to see you, Jimmy." "Don't mean to put you on the spot." "JIMMY:" "Please, I've known your kid since he was ten, happy to help." "Here you go." "Appreciate your help, as always." "Logan tells me you're still investigating Dr. Sanders." "Yeah." "There are pieces that don't add up, and... too many of them connect to her." "So, what are you thinking?" "This is a personal thing with her and the nurse?" "Or something more?" "What I'm going on is a hunch." "The blood thinners, they weren't a mistake." "You think Dr. Sanders is part of a plot to kill the President?" "Maybe." "Well, if you're right, then there has to be some sort of motive." " Have you checked her financial records?" " Logan is working on it." "Does she have a political history?" "Not that I'm aware of, but I'll keep looking." "Maybe somebody is pressuring her." "I'll swing by the house, see if there's any unusual activity." " Talk to the neighbors, what have you." " Thank you." "This is probably a wild goose chase, but..." "But we have to investigate every possibility." "No matter how remote." "It's a long shot, but if this is some sort of conspiracy, we have no idea who else might be involved." "Maybe we should keep this between you, me, and Logan, for now." "I agree." "(KNOCKING ON TABLE)" "Hey." "Do you have a list of today's patient transfers?" "I'll print it out for you." "BLAIR:" "Come in." "I'll call you back." "I'm sorry about this morning." "It was a complete surprise to me as well." "You're his Chief of Staff." "You're not supposed to be surprised." "Well, I can't control him." "I told you that when we started this thing." "Shut the door, Quentin." "Shut the door, Quentin." "Colonel, it's a pleasure." "Our mutual friend speaks very highly of you." " Likewise." "Have a seat." " Thank you." "Can I speak freely here?" "(CHUCKLING) If not here, where?" "This is the most secure building in the country." "The NSA is lucky to have you." "The work you're doing with Operation Total Information is... of vital importance." "Thank you." "Now, unfortunately, not everybody appreciates the value of what you do here." "What would you say, if I were to tell you that the President wants to eliminate OTI?" " I would say that would be a tragic mistake." " I agree." "And that's why our mutual friend wanted us to meet." "Do you want to say it out loud, or should I?" "I heard you were direct." "It's refreshing." "Better that this President die than undermine our nation's security." "He has a tumor on his lung." "He's scheduled to undergo surgery shortly." "Is that dangerous?" "Could be." "What do you need from me?" "Duncan assured me the President would be dead by now." "This is his fault." " He's the one who..." " Stop being a baby." "This isn't about assigning blame, this is about finding a solution." "We need to know exactly when Kincaid plans to go public, and that is on you." "And what if that's before the scheduled surgery?" "Well, we re-evaluate where we stand with everything." "And everyone." "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "ARCHER:" "Hello?" "One of my patient's is being transferred to an off site surgery," "I need to go with him to assist." "What's the patient's name?" "Cornfeld." "It's a heart transplant." " What hospital are you going to?" " Johns Hopkins in Baltimore." "Surgery will last at least six hours." " I'll follow you." " Well, that won't be so easy, we're leaving on the medevac chopper right now." "You call me the minute the surgery's finished." " Uh, is that Peggy Burgdorf?" " Yeah." "She's being transferred to Beth Zion for surgery." "Oh, great." "I told Dr. Gibson I'd help out." "Do you mind if I catch a ride with you guys?" "Yeah, sure." "Tell me exactly what you said to the detective." "I said exactly nothing." "Not a single word." "He said they saw my car on some surveillance camera and that's it." "That's not it." "They have a witness who says the assailant fits your description." "And what else do they have?" "Is this a big problem?" "Not necessarily." "That's pretty." "You should do that with your hair." "Daddy!" "Hey, honey!" "Am I coming home tonight?" "Not yet, sweetie." " You're gonna stay with Grandpa a little longer." " NINA:" "Really?" "Why is that?" "(SIGHING)" "(SIGHS) Unbelievable, now she tells me." "Dr. Gibson doesn't need my help anymore." "Well, we're almost done here, I can give you a ride back." "Uh, I'm gonna meet a friend for a coffee, she's on staff here, so..." " Tea?" " I would love some, thank you." "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "(SIGHS)" "It's time to go, sweetie." "Anna's waiting in the hall." "Say goodbye to Mommy." "But I don't wanna leave." "Oh, it's okay, honey." "Mommy's tired." "When do I get to see you again?" " Okay." " Love you." "See you soon, okay?" "Why is Sawyer staying with my father?" "I'm working a big case right now." "Coming and going." "I thought..." "I thought it would be easier for her to be with Burton." "You know, more stability." "You're still chasing after this miracle, aren't you?" "A solution is in sight." "I'm closer than I've ever been to saving you." "I won't let go of that." "I said I would do one more round of chemo." "That's it." "After this, I'm going home." "I want to spend my last days with you." "And with Sawyer." "Please, Duncan." "I don't want to die resenting you because you won't give up on some fantasy cure." "What the hell's going on?" "What's he doing here?" " We're going on a road trip." " Where?" "Just get in and I'll explain everything." "My name is Burton Delaney." "I know who you are." "You're a fraud." " I understand this is a difficult situation." " Difficult?" "You were Ellen's lawyer." "Her father's friend." "She put her faith in you and you sold her out." " We need your help." " Go to hell." " You can keep your mouth shut." " Kramer, please." "Kramer is a suspect in a murder case." "Your son is going to help him." "What are you talking about?" "We're not going to help you." "As I explained to your wife, the fates of our families are intertwined, Brian." "You need to help us to help yourself." "This is a series of time-lapse satellite images of the Sanders' house over the past 30 days." "I've analyzed them for any anomalies, unusual comings and goings, I found nothing." "Checked the house, talked to the neighbors, all quiet." "Logan says her bank accounts are clean." " You want to bring her back in for questioning?" " No." "Not without some new evidence." " All right, well, I'll keep checking." " Okay." " Can I help you?" " Yeah, uh..." "I was just looking for a patient, Nina Carlisle." "I believe she was in this room." "Oh yes, Mrs. Carlisle was just taken down to chemo." "I'm afraid she'll be down there for a couple of hours." "Oh, okay." "I'll stop back later." "Thank you." "I heard what happened with the limo driver." "Anything else I need to know?" "No." "The guy tried to be a hero." "Kramer hit him." "And that was it." "The money we got has nothing to do with this." "You still need to pay me what we agreed on." "That mean I can count on you?" "If I get paid." "You'll get every penny when this is over." "After the surgery." "(DOOR CLOSING)" "What the hell are you doing?" "I know the truth." "About everything." "Okay, look, you need to go." "Now." "Forget it." "I'm not going anywhere without you." " I know what's going on." " I'm serious." "Just... get out." "I can see it in your eyes." "You're terrified of him." "Him?" " What are you talking about?" " The bruises on your arm." "The lady from child services." "It's your father, Morgan, he's abusing you." "Okay." "Your mother too." "She had blood on her arm when I came by the other day," " she's scared." " That's not what's going on." "You're lying." "I can tell." "Boyd..." "Please, just go." "Please." "Just tell me one thing." "Did he make you break up with me?" "Yes." "Do you still love me?" "Yes." "Then I'm not leaving, Morgan." "Look you don't understand, he will kill you." "I'm not afraid of him." "Okay?" "And no one is ever going to hurt you again." "I'm taking you away." "Tonight." "(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)" "What do you want?" "What's going on?" "Something wrong?" "I'm fine." "Look, I've had a really hard day today." "This pregnancy is... just awful." "Look just... talk about what we talked about and you'll be fine." "I got it." "(SIGHS)" "You didn't see him do anything." "Just remember that." "Okay?" "Dad, I can handle this, it's a not a big deal." "Jake Sanders." "What's the camera for?" "We have to record every word you say." "It's nothing to worry about." "Look into the lens." "State your name and age." "Jake Sanders." "Fifteen years old." "So, tell me Jake, what were you and Kramer Delaney doing up in Bethesda that night?" "Do I still look in camera?" "No, you can look at me." "I met Kramer two years ago, he's a friend of my dad's." "He's sort of been a mentor to me." "Okay, he's your mentor." "Great." "What were you doing that night?" "Uh, he took me to a skate park off of Wisconsin Avenue, near a school." "Just the two of you?" "Yeah, he's a really good skateboarder." "He was teaching me some tricks." "How to do a kick flip, you know?" "Hmm." "How long were you there?" "An hour, maybe more." "Then he drove me home." "Where do you live?" "Arlington, Virginia." "Arlington?" "Why did you drive up all the way to Bethesda to go skateboarding?" "Uh, it's a really good park." "Not very crowded." "There are no big parks in Arlington?" "Are you telling me the truth, Jake?" "(GULPS)" "NINA:" "What are you doing?" "I'm Dr. Sanders." "Your husband asked me to check in on you." "I know exactly who you are." "DETECTIVE:" "Look Jake." "I don't want you to get in any trouble." "You're a young kid." " Trouble?" " If you lie." "Well you'll get in trouble." "Simple as that." "I'm telling the truth." "Good." "I was just checking." "Why'd you show me that?" "'Cause I don't think you're taking this seriously enough." "This man had two kids and a wife and now he's dead." "His family will never see him again." "Ever." "Imagine that was your father." "You would want me to do my best to find out who did this horrible thing." "Right?" "So I'm going to ask one more time." "Are you telling me the truth?" "My husband told me all about you." "He did?" "I know everything." "Then..." "Tell me why is he doing this?" "He thinks it's his only option." "There's always other options." "Particularly with something this serious." "He wants to save me." "And you've obviously convinced him there's some... experimental therapy that can cure my leukemia." "He believes in you." "But I don't." "If you won't leave with me, I'm gonna walk in and talk with him myself." "You can't do that." "Boyd." "Stop." "Stop!" "Okay, I'll go with you." "I'll go with you, okay?" " Just..." " Okay." "Stay here." "Okay?" "I'm gonna go and make sure it's clear, and we'll go out the side door." "Okay." "Stay here." "Morgan." "Morgan!" "Where you going?" "Come here." "I was just going to meet my friend." "DUNCAN:" "You know the rules." "You don't leave this house without my permission." "MORGAN:" "Sorry." "What's going on with you?" "Morgan?" "Tell me." "Morgan, I asked you a question." "Get your hands off her!" "It's over." "You're not going to hurt her ever again." "Put the gun down, son." "Now, before somebody gets hurt." "No one is gonna get hurt if you just let your daughter go." "Obviously you're upset, and I'm sure you have your reasons, but let's talk about this, I'm sure we could figure something out." "Boyd." "Listen to him." "Just put the gun down and do what he says." "He's brainwashed you." "But it's okay, you don't have to be afraid of him anymore." "C'mon Morgan." "We're gonna go to the police." "And we're going to tell them everything." "Boyd that's not necessary." "She's right." "You don't want to get the police involved." "For your own sake, you just broke into somebody's house with a loaded gun." "That's a felony." "I did it to protect Morgan." "That's not a crime." "I understand." "You mean well." "And you love her." "That's why I'm willing to put this all behind us." "I won't press charges, and we can keep the police out of it." "But I need you to put that gun down." "Now." "Boyd, put the gun down." "And I will explain everything." "(PHONE RINGING)" "ELLEN: (ON ANSWERING MACHINE) You've reached the Sanders residence, please leave a message. (BEEPING)" "BRIAN:" "Hey Morgan, it's me, Dad." "Can you pick up?" "Just checking in." "All right, well, I'm with Jake." "We'll be home soon." "Love you." "Morgan?" "What the hell is going on?" "I'm done asking politely." "Drop it." "I won't ask again." "Who is this guy, Morgan?" "What is going on?" "Please!" "Please, don't kill him." "I don't want to." "You can lock him up, do whatever you want." "He's not going to say anything." "Just... just don't kill him." "Morgan, what are you saying?" "MORGAN:" "You can't win, Boyd." "You just can't." "I'm sorry." "(FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS) Drop it!" "(SCREAMING)" "(SOBBING)" "MORGAN:" "No." "(GASPING)" "You okay?" "You're wearing a vest." " Good." " Yeah." "Hi." "I wanna check on a friend of mine who's in surgery today." "Neil Cornfeld." "He was medevac'd to Baltimore this morning." "Yes, the surgery ended several hours ago." "I spoke to one of his doctors earlier today." "Ellen..." "Sanders." "Is she back yet?" "Dr. Sanders didn't go to Baltimore." "Oh, maybe I misunderstood." "Do you know where she is?" "Nina, is it okay if I call you Nina?" "What did you tell him?" "To make him actually believe you could cure my leukemia." "Well, I told him about... stem cells." "The harvesting, the success rate." "Your husband loves you." "He's willing to try anything." "How much are you charging him for this?" "'Cause our insurance won't cover anything." "Well it isn't about money." "It's about trying to find a cure." "I want nothing to do with you." "Please get out." "Get out!" "(CLICKING)" "How'd it go?" "Pretty good, just did what your father told me to say." "And that detective?" "He believed you?" "Yeah." "I think so, anyway." "Then I owe you one." "There's nothing to shake on here." "(CELL PHONE RINGING)" "ARCHER:" "D, something's going on." "Talk to me." "Dr. Sanders told me she was going to Baltimore with a patient." "She lied." "Is she on the run?" "No, she's still in town." "At another hospital." "Beth Zion." "Any idea what this is about?" "KRAMER:" "I'll see you back at the house." "Jake." "You're staying with me." "I'll see you soon." "Did you really kill that man?" "Of course not." "Brian Sanders." "Yes." "Secret Service." "We need to talk." "I tried talking to him, but" "I can't pin him down." "You know how evasive politicians can be." "Yes." "Like you." "I was always straight with you." "Please." "You think I didn't know you had a gun to your head, when you called me about the President's decision to stay with his doctor?" " Uh..." " What did that FBI agent do?" "He threaten you?" "Threaten your family?" "I was on the spot." "It's okay, Quentin." "I just want you to understand he's not the one you should be afraid of." "Ah." "Our mutual friend is here." "I wanted to keep her in the loop." "Hello Quentin." "Don't get up." "My name is Agent Hoffman." "I'm with the Secret Service." "I think someone is threatening your family." "And I'm here to help you." "(EXHALES)" "What the hell are you doing?" "Blood cell count of 642." "Acute lymphocytic leukemia." "Unsuccessful third round of chemotherapy." "Your wife is a very sick woman." "I warned you to stay away from my family." "I took the safety valve off." "I can dump 20 cc of morphine into her before you take another step." "You won't." "Think about what you're doing." "She's innocent." "So is my family." "What do you want?"

"STUDIO 2.0 presents" "In association with OCN KOCCA, and KTB Network a J TEAM Studio production" "The world has run out of all forms of energy." "People built a new city by making a new energy with their excrements." "Soon after the city's leaders announced two legislations to generate and control the new energy." "First, installing an ID chip in each of the citizen's anus to monitor their defecation level." "Second, provide defecating citizens in return one addictive "juicybar"." "Later, defecation amounts have skyrocketed, but the city became full of addicts due to the juicybar's strong addiction." "Illegal trade of juicybars became prevalent, and the juicybar's side effects have created dumb pint-sized mutants." "These mutants organized a gang to plunder juicybars." "They became known as the 'Diaper Gang'." "They're coming." "They're coming." "Hey, they're coming!" "They're coming." "They're coming." "They're going." "They're going." "They're coming." "They're coming." "Outta my way!" "Hey slowpoke, think you're faster?" "You betcha!" "Hey!" "Bald bastard." "AACHI SSIPAK" "We are the forgotten orphans." "We once dedicated our crap and youth to this city." "But what did our leaders do for us?" "Did they appreciate us for our crap?" "Never!" "We became addicted to juicybars, so we can never shit or even reproduce because our dicks have shrunk like peanuts." "Then they ran us out of this city like garbage!" "Why?" "Because we've evolved into mutants, liberating ourselves from having to shit all the time!" "Diapers!" "Diapers!" "Nonetheless, we're in shitcreek now." "Juicybars is our only source of food, but we haven't had any for a month." "And why is this?" "Because of that special cop, Geko?" "No." "It's because a whole bunch of you piss-ass dumb shits can't even blow away one fuckin' cop!" "Stand up!" "This is your last chance to redeem yourselves." "Tell me where we can find juicybars for our hungry brothers." "Kindergarten defecation classes." "Where were you before?" "A kindergarten defecation class." "A juicybar factory?" "No, a juicybar market?" "No, how about..." "You freaks don't deserve to be called gangsters." "Know what punks like you are called?" "I know!" "Hoodlums!" "Yes, hoodlums!" "What?" "I mean, these hoodlums..." "A lot of hoodlums are dealing juicybars in Section 4." "Hoodlums, you say..." "You bonehead!" "There's only eighteen in here, not twenty!" "You swiped two, didn't you?" "Count it yourself, idiot!" "You hopeless chimp." "You won't get your cut unless you get two more." "And no chick as well." "Got it?" "You twirp!" "Why am I always doing the dirty work?" "Hey, you get the easy way out." "I always risk my life being on the lookout." "Go and get some more." "We need to make up for it." "You little piss ant!" "Then every chick we find tonight are mine." "And if you cheat me again and take off, you're really gonna pay this time." "Damn it, that hurt!" "Stupid mutt!" "Today the police scored big again for mopping up the Diaper Gang."

"That's one hell of a dump!" "Juicybar delivery complete." "Smells damn good, too!" "The way kids shit these days is so impolite." "He's such a hopeless case." "His damn showing off gives me the runs." "Abio, showing off here is useless." "We're in the can." "Screw off." "Run!" "It's too damn hot for this crap." "Let's go." "You little punks."

"If anyone is on patrol in Section 4, please comply!" "What's with all these juicybars?" "What did that pervert do to me?" "She's pretty, has an awesome personality, and she's so fertile." "I love you!" "She's a walking juicybar factory." "Now I know why the Diaper Gang wanted her so bad." "She takes one dump and tons of juicybars are delivered."

"I'm no ass expert." "Then go find out and resolve this!" "Who do you think I am?" "This is 0497." "I don't see anything strange." "Not a soul in sight..." "Shit!" "The Diaper Gang!" "Cease fire!" "Find the girl!" "Find the girl, find the girl." "What are you waiting for?" "Go after them!" "This is evidence one discovered on the scene." "His name is Jimmy, and was presumed to be killed by the Diaper Gang." "He pretended to be a movie director, and has a criminal record with regard to illegal movies." "They were at the crime scene, and were presumed homeless hoodlums." "If an error occurred in the computer on the numerous ID registrations, these two culprits are very likely to have the answer." "So if we analyze the defecation data of the checked IDs..." "Get to the point!" "How are they related to this case?" "Well, they had an illegal affair..." "Shut up, you idiot!" "Mobilize all the forces and catch them all." "WANTED" "We found her!" "We found her!" "We found one woman who last defecated in our records." "The rest of the IDs have no record of defecation." "The Diaper Gang cannot defecate." "So their need for juicybars makes them a big suspect." "If we capture her, we'll be able to uncover everything about this case." "A SWAT team is now positioned to track down any massive supply of juicybars within three minutes." "Get to the point!" "So will you catch them or not?" "I will catch them, ma'am." "If you miss them this time, you'll be the first to die." "Man, this is frustrating!" "Look, I'm not the same old Aachi." "If you wanna survive in Section 4, you better not get on my bad side." "I got many customers waiting in line besides you, old man." "Alright, I won't get upset." "Anyhow, hoodlums like you walking into this fancy hotel is humiliating." "So quietly use the back door." "Senile old bastard." "Who does he think he's talking to?" "Beautiful, the old man is coming to buy some juicybars." "How about a nice whole-hearted shit?" "Moron." "I'm the one who feeds you punks." "What?" "Moron?" "You bitch!" "We got them!" "All enforcements mobilize to coordinates 646!" "Just rough them up a little." "And remember, my share is two thirds." "Are you ready?" "Let's go." "Let's go!" "Hold your gun right, idiot!" "I got no hair, but I got the body." "I'm such a hottie." "Cut the crap." "Old man, I told you to use the back door." "You think my words don't count?" "You son of a..." "One, two, one, two." "Ready!" "Ready!" "Throw it!" "Who the hell are you?" "Where is she?" "Who are you talking about?" "I can't remember all my chics." "One, two..." "You'll be okay, sweety." "Damn it, this is humilating." "You know who I am?" "Wait!" "Let's talk!" "So, well..." "Over there..." "Put your guns down!" " Don't move or we'll shoot!" " Put your guns down!" "You little assholes, how dare..." "Who the hell are you?" "Going up the stairs with one leg is a pain in the ass." "What are you waiting for?" "Go inside!" "Move it!" "Diapers!" "My leg!" "Sons of bitches!" "My money!" "My money!" "You stupid old man, don't be such a meanie." "We're in trouble." "We need back-up." "What are you doing?" "Get in there and fight!" "I hate you." "Boss!" "You bastards!" "I have grenades!" "Shit." "Damn it!" "My hands are burning." "Get them!" "Hurry and stand up!" "You sons of bitches!" "What have I gotten myself into!" "How did things turn out like this?" "And is that little rat alive or what?" "Hold on tight, babe." "You little rat!" "You're alive!" "You idiot!" "How could you bring the Diapers with you?" "I didn't, you moron." "They're the ones who followed me!" " Asshole!" " Yeah, asshole." "Man, you never make things any easier." "Shut up and just follow me!" "Crap, we're screwed." "Oney, do something!" "Yeah!" "Bring it on!" "Shit, we got a code fucking red here." "Get them!" "Get them!" "Get them!" "Let go!" "Let go!" "I said let go!" "Let go!" "Damn it." "You son of a bitch!" "Hey, who do you think you are?" "You asshole." "Think you're a tough guy, huh?" "Get him!" "I'm a fake." "You lost." "Large illegal distribution of juicybars..." "The toilets in Section 4 were attacked..." "The Diaper Gang attacked..." "Growing crimes by the Diapers..." "Citizens, please stay calm." "We will poke out the axis of evil." "Useless idiots!" "Wipe them all off this planet!" "This situation is terribly..." "I won't eat it!" "I won't!" "I'm not a shitmaker for you dwarves!" " We were annihilated." " You idiot!" "According to a recent report, a female in her 20s seems to be related to this case..." "The Diaper Gang will rule this city soon." "Yesterday we were forgotten orphans." "But tomorrow we will stand up as remembered orphans!" "Diapers!" "Diapers!" "Damn it!" "I was a juicybar tycoon just the other day." "The Diapers are rich now that they have Beautiful, while we're homeless fugitives." "That bitch!" "It's all her fault!" "This sucks." "How dare you call her that!" "Shut your trap!" "Beautiful made you rich with all those juicybars." "Make me rich?" "Screw you!" "You see us with any juicybars now?" "Then what the hell did you do when my Beautiful got caught?" "You're the one who fainted after one punch!" "I'm going." "Where are you going?" "I'm going to save Beautiful." "What?" "Hey, meathead!" "Talk some sense!" "Even the pigs can't beat them, so what the hell are you gonna do?" "I'm going with or without you." "Cowards like you will always live off of snitching juicybars." "Hey!" "You don't know what true love is!" "Hey!" "You stupid romantic." "You dumb Romeo!" "We have a traitor among us." "Otherwise, it's impossible for the Diaper Gang to obliterate us like this." "Actually, since Geko was in charge of the Diaper Gang until now, we don't know their strategies." "No excuses!" "Think we're weaker than those dwarfs?" "We need another plan." "Doctor, long time no see." "I'll get straight to the point." "Can you revive Geko?" "I created him, so it won't be so difficult." "But, I need a lot of corpses." "Very fresh ones." "If you can bring him back to life," "I'll bring you all the filth in Section 4." "I'm happy to hear that." "And one more." "Give me his corpse, too." "As you wish." "Damn it." "Wait, you!" "You're that little shit!" "What's up?" "You little prick!" "Don't you have anything better to do?" "Go to school, shithead." "I was a juicybar tycoon just yesterday, damn it." "Tell me!" "Tell me now!" "Where's my Beautiful?" "Who are you?" "Where's Beautiful?" "Tell me where Beautiful is!" "You sons of bitches!" "Shit!" "My motorbike!" "You assholes!" "What the hell are you doing here?" "Just passing by, bonehead." "Then keep going, you twirp." "Mind your own business, jackass." "You little turd." "Screw you and that pride of yours." "What, you little dwarf?" "You son of a bitch." "You're the worst character in this movie!" "Screw you, asshole!" "My baby, daddy will do you good." "You're so adorable." "If you bring me the scientist who created Geko," "I will dispose of the Chief." "And I want the number two position in your gang." "It's yours." "But if you're thinking of betraying us or plan to do something stupid, then you'll suffer a pain worse than death." "If you don't kill the Chief, she'll kill me first." "You can be assured that I'll never betray you." "I'll be ready for you tonight." "Now do you feel like talking?" "I don't know." "I don't." "Bastard must be high on juicybars." "How the hell do you not know where your home is?" "Asshole!" "I have no idea!" "He's really not gonna talk." "This punk's pretty loyal." "We better just kill him." "No!" "No!" "Doctor, from now on you'll work for us." "Now even mutants come looking for me." "This will be quite a new thrill." "I'll go to any place that has fresh corpses." "Escort him out." "Escort, escort." "When will you dispose of the Chief?" "No betrayer like you deserves to be in our gang." "When will you dispose of the Chief?" "When will you dispose of the Chief?" "When will you dispose of the Chief?" "You raised a good assistant." "If you have the guts, come to the desert." "You despicable fool, how dare you betray me." "We can't find any traces of Dr. Strange." "HAIL THE DIAPER KING!" "Damn it, it's boiling hot." "True love conquers everything." "My Beautiful." "Attack!" "What the hell is that?" "Did they already clash with the pigs?" "That spells bad news for us." "This won't work." "We should think over our plan, and then come back." "We gotta finish what we started whether it kills us or not." "Stop trying to be a hero and let's just go back." " You!" " You blockhead, go without me." "I don't wanna die." "Execution to all who are caught red-handed." "Geko, you lunatic!" "It's dangerous!" "Get out of here!" "He's coming, he's coming." "Isn't that Beautiful?" "Where?" "He's coming, he's coming." "Damn it!" "My head!" "Long live the Diapers!" "Juicybars!" "Juicybars!" "I told you we should've just gone back!" "Then what about Beautiful?" "Who's more important?" "Me or Beautiful?" "Beautiful." "Think you can kill me?" "I'm afraid not." "I told you we should've just left!" "But you go nuts over a chic!" "Screw you!" "Beautiful." "Stop talking crap!" "Beautiful!" " Beautiful!" " Beautiful!" "Hold on tight!" "Hold her tight, idiot!" "Beautiful's in danger!" "Hurry!" "Pull her in!" "Do something!" "Put more muscle into it!" "No!" "Beautiful!" "Very interesting-looking specimens." "Geko passed the XX point, roger!" "Okay, roger!" "Hey!" "Get it ready fast!" "Fast!" "Fast!" "What the hell is this?" "Untie me!" "You crazy old bastard!" "Screw you!" "He's coming, roger." "What?" "Coming?" "Hey!" "He's coming!" "Here he comes!" "Fire!" "Stop acting like Paris Hilton!" "I let you slide until now, but you've disrespected me." "I oughta slice your belly and yank out your chip." "Get ready to die!" "Don't touch Beautiful." "You damn hoodlum, you're such a pain in the ass." "But no more games." "Hey!" "I'm right over here!" "Srew you!" "No!" "Die, please!" "Die!" " You..." " Wait, that's..." "Jimmy the freak?" "When did you start working for the pigs?" "But I killed you with my bare hands." "Let go!" "Let go, you filthy bastard!" "Die!" "Die!" "You son of a bitch!" "What the hell?" "No!" "You worthless hoodlum." "Stop, you blue asshole!" "You belong down there." "You son of a bitch!" "Beautiful." " You bastard!" " Beautiful." "Beautiful!" "Come back here!" "Save the world like you said you would." "Die!" "Hey, it stopped." "How dare you." "Around and around we go!" "Die!" "Cut!" "Cut!" "Cut!" "You sluts!" "I told you not to do it that way!" "How many times do I have to tell you!" "You are charged for interfering with police duties, for organizing an illegal clan, and for murdering a policeman." "Whether dead or alive, you're coming with me." "Beautiful!" "More!" "Stretch a bit more!" "Oh no, what is this?" "You filthy bastard." "Nothing went right whenever you showed up." "I didn't do anything!" "I swear!" "Idiot!" "Please do something about this!" "I don't want to die!" "I hate you!" "Beautiful!" "Try harder!" "Do something fast!" "Stretch out a bit more!" "I can't anymore!" "Stretch more!" "Damn it!" "I can't anymore." " More!" " I can't!" "I can't!" "A little bit more!" "I can't stand it anymore!" "Be patient, sweetheart." "I'll find you one soon." "Let's find you the right toilet, so you can let out a big load!" "What are you so happy about?" "We're millionaires now!" "Did you say "we"?" "Who's "we"?" "Who's "we"?" "We're business partners of course!" "Who asked you to be my partner?" "In business, logistics is more important than production." "Got to know your stuff." "That big mouth never shuts up." "Anyway, your share is one-fifth." "Stop talking and let's jet out of here." "If you take a dump on the road, it's a huge loss." "My shit is supporting you guys." "Better be grateful."

Three letters." "Dude!" ""Dude." I don't know." "Magnetic waves, brain cells." "I don't understand the connection between all that stuff." "You know what else I heard?"

"A mysterious crop circle appeared in local farmer, Tom Logan's cornfield." "Elaborate prank or extraterrestrial phenomenon?" "We'll update you as soon as we have any further information, but, either way, it's clear something strange is happening in that small town." "Ross?" "I'm sorry, I wasn't listening." "Coming up, more news after this." "Cindy, you got a second?" "Sure." "I want you to take a look at this for that big strip-club exposé." "But I'd rather stick with the crop circle story." "Come on." "You know those things are just a hoax." "No, I'm telling you, I sense something about that cornfield." "Call it women's intuition or ESPN or both, but I can tell when danger's near." "I just..." "My eyes!" "Cindy, it's sweeps month." "Ratings mean everything." "People want human-interest stories, like the one you did yesterday." "The report on breast augmentation?" "It was just ten minutes of topless women." "I mean, come on." "Wow!" "Why are these so interesting?" "For God's sake!" "People don't care about this." "They want hard-hitting stories and in-depth coverage and..." "And..." "And twins!" "You think it was the Kreisel boys who cut that stuff into your corn?" "All I know is my crops are gone." "The bank's gonna foreclose if I can't pay the rent." "I got 60 days to come up with $1.50." "I'm sorry." "The last thing you needed was more hardship in your life." "Especially after what happened to your..." "Sheriff, I don't need your sympathy." "I didn't mean to upset you, Father." "Please." "I'm not a minister anymore." "I lost my faith that terrible night." "Your faith will return, just as sure as the sun will rise." "Sounds like a long shot." "Look, there's always an explanation for all this so-called phenomenon." "Maybe you're right." "It was probably just the Kreisels." "And when I get through with them," "I doubt you'll be seeing anything strange on this farm for a long time." "You'll see." "You all right, Tom?" "Get some rest." "George!" "I need you back here tomorrow night after you pick up Sue." "That tractor needs fixing." "Sorry, dawg." "I can't help you." "I have to get ready for my show."

"Well, you know, I just haven't found the right guy." "I'm looking for something more than just good sex." "I know, you want commitment." "No, I want great sex." "And when I meet that guy..." "That's what I'm talking about!" "You want a guy that's gonna hit that thing hard, like..." "And then flip you over and come at you from the other side." "D-O-double-G." "Did I say stop drawing?" "And then he'll look at you, like he gonna cut you." "Brenda, you're so romantic." "I guess." "Look, when I meet Mr. Right, I'll know." "Uncle George!" "Hey, sweetie, come here!" "How are you?" "Go get your stuff, okay?" "I know you." "You're Tom Logan's brother." "And you're that reporter, Cindy Campbell." "Yeah." "You did the story on our cop cycles." "Crop circles." "Right." "So, you're here to pick up your..." "Nephew." "Cody." "You don't dress like a farmer." "My brother's the farmer." "I'm the rapper." "For real." "And here's the 6-1-1 on that." "That's phone repair." "You mean 4-1-1." "Right." "So, I'll be doing the rap battle at the 23 Club tomorrow night." "I don't believe this shit." "Word." "You two should come down!" "I be rappin', I be capping', I be tappin', I be flapping'," "I be happening." "Ding, bing, wing." "Yo!" "Sounds good." "Would, could, should, 'hood." "Gug, mug, dug, bug." "If we say we'll come, will you shut your ass up?" "Okay, then." "Fresh." "I'll see you guys tomorrow night." "Okay." "Bye." "Peace out." "Now, who the fuck did that?" "Honey, what is it?" "Are you having one of your visions?" "There's a girl with black hair." "She wants to kill you." "Your period starts in three, two, one." "What else?" "Cody, what else do you see?" "I see a little boy and a grown woman, but no father." "Cody." "I see you kneeling in dog shit." "What?" "Oh, for God's sake." "Cody, don't you understand?" "As long as we have each other, that's all we need." "Cody, I know things have been tough for you since your mom died." "God, I've been so selfish." "Always putting my career first." "From now on, I'm gonna be thinking about you 24..." "Damn!" "Wait, Cindy!" "Honey, I'm gonna be leaving soon, so..." "Do you know who she is?" "No, but sometimes she talks to me." "She's coming tonight." "Father Muldoon!" "Cindy." "I'm so grateful you could come." "I've called all over for babysitters." "I don't mind filling in now and then." "Where is little Cody?" "I don't know." "He must be back in his room, playing." "Anyway, make sure Cody washes everywhere." "Also, he has a little rash on his behind." "Could you rub this lotion on his little bottom?" "Just apply it liberally." "Thank you, Father." "Good night." "Cody." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "It's getting thick up in here." "Hey, look, before we get on with the battles tonight," "I got a couple announcements to make." "I know y'all are gonna wanna bust a cap in the air for your favorite rapper, but if you could please hold on to your gunfire until the end of the show." "Now, look, let's just put the safeties on." "It's on the left side of the gun above the trigger guard." "Will somebody get his ass out of here?" "Get his ass up out of here!" "All right." "DJ, spin that shit!" "My bad." "Mother..." "Brenda, is something wrong?" "You look scared." "I don't know." "All that stuff you was saying on TV," "I just got a weird feeling something bad is heading my way, like when you see an Asian person behind the wheel of a car." "Cindy, after the show, if I don't end up on all fours with some anonymous guy, or drink an ass load of Cristal and have to sleep it off in a dumpster behind the Sizzler, you think maybe you could come back to my crib and hang out with me?" "I don't wanna be alone." "Of course I will, Brenda." "I love you!" "Pay my way, okay?" "Yo, yo, yo, George!" "What's up with the man with the tightest rapping..." "What's up, B?" "What's good?" "...on the streets, baby!" "What's good with you, boy?" "Dude!" "What's good, baby?" "Dude!" "Finally, the white man is gonna school the black man on how to rap." "Yeah!" "Yeah, I guess." "Word." "How many people are here, you think?" "Shit." "I don't know, man." "100, 200 whitey-hating, chrome-packing, ready to bust a cap in any white boy's ass who ain't bringing that shit." "Yeah." "At least." "Yeah." "Word." "What's wrong, George?" "You ever wonder when it's time to stop living up here and start living down here?" "But what if we stop living over here and move over there?" "Shit, my Aunt ShaNeequa used to live over there, man," "but that bitch got evicted, though." "Word?" "Yeah, I'm dead serious." "What for?" "Mice." "Mice?" "I thought she had rats." "No, man." "Rats are outside, mice are inside." "Yo, but what if a mouse goes outside?" "Does it become a rat?" "And if a rat is in the house, is it a mouse?" "I ain't never seen no mouse outside." "That's what I'm saying." "That's because it's a rat, fool!" "Damn." "Yeah, you might've just made a fact just now." "That's some real shit!" "Fellas, what are you guys talking about?" "That's hot!" "Yo, George, you need something?" "'Cause I will do anything for you." "Anything." "Well, about those chrome-packing, whitey-hating gangsters, perhaps..." "What he need is a hype man." "Word!" "Yeah, yeah, a-come on." "You can be his Spliff Star." "That's me, that's what I do." "That's my job, baby." "That's what I do!" "You know..." "That's what I do." "When you a hype man, you take them hits." "Now, let's get out there, man!" "Heads or tail, playboy, what's it gonna be?" "You cannot escape your fate in the streets" "Okay, I count cash, you count sheep" "You better not sleep on the beats, capisce" "All right, all right, all right!" "That was hot!" "That's what I'm talking about." "That was hot, right?" "Right?" "Yo, what do we think?" "I thought you were both absolutely dreadful." "Ghastly." "What?" "I don't know what I'm doing here." "This club is totally pathetic." "Everybody put your hands up." "This is it." "You ready, George?" "It's show time, baby." "Okay." "I just want to let you know, man, that no matter what goes on on that stage tonight, you'll always be in my heart." "That's love." "That's love right there." "I love you." "That's what I'm talking about." "I love you, man." "Can you feel it?" "That's what I'm talking about." "Hey, come here, y'all." "Come here." "Can you feel my love on your hip?" "Can you feel it?" "I can't get around!" "Okay." "Come on, dawg!" "That's what I'm talking about." "You go out there and you rip it tonight." "All right, man?" "Do your thing tonight, all right?" "Okay, cool." "All right." "We shouldn't have to do that." "We love each other." "I'm gonna go bring you on." "Let's do it, baby." "We hyped!" "Yeah, all right, all right." "Y'all ready for the next throw down?" "To my left, we have the reigning champion, hailing from Fort Apache, the Bronx." "BS 1-1-1." "Some of y'all call him "Jealous Ones Still Envy."" "Some of y'all call him the Don Cartagena!" "Some of y'all call him Joey Crack." "Stick 'em up!" "But tonight, let's give it up for Fat Joe!" "I gotta go against him?" "Give it up!" "Give it up!" "What, you think they're here to see Fat Joe?" "Joe!" "Joe!" "Joe!" "Joe!" "Joe!" "Joe!" "No, man, they're saying, "Go!" "Go!" "Go!"" "Now our challenger." "He's a farmer rapper, so you know he been kicking the shit all day!" "Let's give it up for my man, George!" "That's what I'm talking about!" "Yeah, yeah!" "Come on, everybody!" "That's right." "Put your hands..." "That's right." "Okay, Joey Crack." "You the reigning champion, so you get to spit first." "Yo, DJ, spin that shit!" "These guys can't be serious right here." "Standing Mini-Me, AKA "I hope he ain't the one you fight with."" "Hey, yo, this nigga's mad corny And he got no skills" "'Cause he's all right But he's not real" "I don't mean to hurt your feelings But you'll never get a deal" "'Cause he's all right But he's not real" "You're a needle in the haystack I'm the don, the city slicker" "Forget cows and milk your mom's Her titties give ya that elixir" "Thought he wasn't?" "Bet this nigga end up Having kids with his cousin" "Half-retarded My number-one fan be like" "That means Fat Joe's the man!" "You're a liar in denial" "Kill your ass quicker than I died in Empire" "How dare you want to joust with me?" "Looking like you dying of SARS Or mad cow disease" "You fake D-rabbit out to battle me" "Eight miles down the road The farm's that-a-way" "Okay." "No, no, wait a minute!" "All right!" "All right!" "That was hot!" "That was tight, Fat Joe." "Yo!" "Now, everybody, give it up for my man, George!" "DJ, spin that shit!" "Bitch." "Ho." "Now everybody in the 2-0-2" "Throw your hands in the air 'Cause Fat Joe is through" "Now everybody in the 2-0-2 Throw 'em up" "Check it out" "I'm a white boy But my neck is red" "I put Miracle Whip On my Wonder Bread" "My face is pale I've never been in jail" "Me and Buffy spend Every winter in Vail" "How many bitches have I slapped?" "Zero" "And Martha Stewart happens to be my hero" "I grew up on a farm And I was born with no rhythm" "Dr. Phil's my uncle And I like to hang with him" "I can't dance I wear khaki pants" "My middle name's Lance My grandma's from France" "So maybe I'm wack 'Cause my skin ain't black" "But you can't talk smack 'Cause whitey just struck back" "That's what I'm talking about, baby!" "2-0-2, Fat Joe is through!" "2-0-2, Fat Joe is through!" "Give it up for George!" "Yeah!" "That's my boy right there!" "That's what I'm..." "Oh, shit." "George." "George." "The hood." "Hell, no!" "Lose the hood." "I know." "We're in the 'hood now." "No, man." "He's a dead man." "You guys feeling me?" "In the 'hood?" "That's it." "I'm done." "Man, you can't give up rap just like that." "Rap-schmap!" "Look, you still got it!" "See?" "Thanks for coming over tonight, Cindy." "I guess I'm just going through a rough time." "Brenda, you want to tell me what's really bothering you?" "Well, there's something I need to..." "I saw a tape." "I think you should know about it." "It had these really shocking images, Cindy." "Brenda, it was Mardi Gras." "I never drank vodka before, and I was out of beads!" "No, not that tape, Cindy." "Well, I guess it's just an urban legend." "You watch it, and as soon as it's over, your phone rings and a creepy voice says," ""You're gonna die in seven days."" "And seven days later..." "When did you watch it?" "A week ago." "A week ago tonight." "Brenda..." "Oh, my God!" "Brenda!" "Brenda!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God, you bitch!" "Ketchup!" "You should have seen the look on your face!" "You got me!" "Brenda?" "Brenda?" "Oh, my God!" "Brenda!" "Brenda!" "I can't believe you fell for that fake seizure!" "But it seemed so real!" "It did, didn't it?" "And you peed!" "Yeah!" "I really sold that shit, didn't I?" "I just love the look on your face when you are scared." "Girl, you are too easy." "I got you with the old fake hand!" "Girl, you were scared!" "Well, I know!" "Come on." "I was just kidding." "Well, you've taken it too far, Brenda." "I'm gonna go get the rest of the popcorn!" "Cindy?" "Forget it." "I am not falling for it again." "Come on." "Cindy, the news is on!" "Another little white girl done fell down a well." "Fifty black people get their ass beat by police today, but the whole world gotta stop for one little whitey down a hole." "Cindy!" "The TV's leaking!" "Cindy?" "Cindy, something's wrong here." "Cindy, this bitch is messing up my floor!" "Cindy, help me!" "I'm not listening." "Get up, you little ugly bitch." "Come on." "Let me see what you got." "What you gonna do?" "That's all?" "I'm whupping her ass, Cindy!" "Yeah!" "What's up?" "Cindy, please help me!" "Cindy!" "Okay, hang on a second." "Hello?" "Father Muldoon here." "We're getting along famously." "Thanks again, Father." "Bye-bye." "Brenda?" "Brenda!" "Oh, my God!" "Yes, yes, of course I'll tell her." "Thank you." "Sue's teacher, Brenda." "She's dead." "I'd better tell her." "No, no, no." "I can do it." "Sue?" "Yes?" "You know your teacher, Miss Brenda?" "Yeah?" "She's dead!" "Gone forever!" "Died a horrible, painful death!" "Gone, gone, gone, just like your dog!" "My dog's dead?" "I just ran him over with the car when I drove in!" "Everyone you love around you is dying!" "Hello, Father." "Don't call me "Father." I haven't been a clergyman since..." "I'm sorry about that night." "If I hadn't fallen asleep while driving for that exact 20 minutes, if I hadn't drank that exact whole bottle of Jägermeister, if I hadn't raped and mutilated that exact mulatto hitchhiker..." "Sayaman..." "...if I hadn't been caught in that exact motel room with those exact two boys..." "Sayaman." "I don't see what any of this has to do with Annie." "I'm sorry." "Those were other nights." "But if it had been that night," "I might have missed her." "That terrible night." "Hey!" "It's your wife, Father." "She's hurt." "Annie?" "She was hit by a truck and she's pinned against a tree." "I don't understand." "As long as the truck has her pinned, she'll stay alive." "I still don't get it." "This is your wife." "She broke her wiener?" "Look what happens to the taco." "Look, I don't understand all this fancy medical lingo." "I wanna see Annie." "She's split in half." "You mean, like down-the-middle in half?" "At the waist." "You mean this is the last time I can talk to the top half?" "Yes." "The truck is the only thing that is holding her together." "Let's say this is her bottom half." "Can I squeeze in a few minutes with that?" "I'm not sure what you mean." "Let me explain." "Tom." "Go to her." "Tom, I'll need a ride home." "Hey, baby." "How's it going?" "I'm dying, Tom." "Don't talk like that." "The truck barely hit you." "Honey, kiss me one last time." "Promise me you'll never remarry." "I promise." "And no sex, either." "I'm sorry." "I didn't catch that." "No sex." "Honey, you're not speaking clearly." "Your injuries must be awful." "No sex." "Cruel fate to shroud my wife's..." "No sex." "...dying words in mystery." "No sex." "No sex!" "Poor Annie." "We hardly knew her." "She'll be missed terribly." "Jesus." "That's right, honey, go into the light." "Look!" "Just tell George, "Swing away."" "Right." "Swing away." "Sure." "That you understand." "Annie?" "Annie!" "I'm sorry, dude." "Don't call me dude." "I'm not a stoner anymore, not since..." "Goodbye, Tom." "I'm so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Meeks." "Brenda was a good friend when she was alive." "My sweet, sweet Brenda." "She looks so peaceful." "If only God had taken us instead of our daughter." "And knowing your Brenda like I did, I'd say she wishes the same thing." "These just came today." "Photos from a trip she took." "They're blank." "Turn them around, honey." "Yes, of course." "Who's this?" "That's Ralph." "He's right over there." "Cody?" "It's a boy." "He's going to be an asshole." "Smoke all you want." "You're gonna get hit by a bus." "That's not fooling anyone." "Cindy." "George." "Hey." "Sue wanted to pay her respects to her teacher." "You?" "Brenda was my bitch." "Of course." "Are you okay?" "It's just the open coffin." "I can't believe they just leave it out here like this." "George, it's a wake." "Awake?" "Brenda!" "It's a miracle!" "No!" "George, stop!" "I thought you were dead!" "Sue, your teacher's alive!" "Hello?" "What did he say?" "I got your back, George!" "I got your back!" "I'll tell you what!" "Mahalik, she's alive!" "Brenda!" "George, stop!" "She's dead!" "Brenda!" "No!" "We won't lose you again!" "Mahalik, help!" "Nothing!" "She's not breathing!" "No!" "Live, damn it!" "Live!" "Don't!" "Live, damn it!" "Live!" "Let me open her windpipe!" "Charles!" "Charles, stop them!" "Breathe!" "Someone stop them!" "What are they doing?" "Get off!" "She's alive!" "She's alive!" "Wake up!" "Brenda, Brenda, breathe!" "Clear!" "No!" "I got something!" "I got something!" "That's it!" "George!" "That's the last time I try to bring anyone back from the dead." "George, don't get down on yourself." "I know you were only trying to help." "You're a good, caring person, which is why I like you." "Thanks, Cindy, but I don't wanna screw your life up, too." "The most caring thing I could do for everyone right now is to just get out of here." "George!" "What about Sue?" "Yes." "Of course." "Once I get Sue, then..." "Wait!" "I could really use a friend right now." "Brenda's gone, Cody resents me." "And I'm caught up in something I can't even..." "Oh, God, it's so hard!" "Well, you're beautiful and you're pressing up against me." "Look, Cindy," "I know you'd never consider going out with a guy like me, but if you're not too busy tomorrow night..." "Is that a yes?" "Yes." "Cindy, did Brenda ever talk to you about a tape?" "She did mention something." "Do you mind if I go upstairs and look around?" "Yes, go." "Of course." "Go." "Cody, I'll be right back, okay?" "You're getting laid tonight." "He doesn't know you're a guy." "Oh, shit." "Hello?" "What?" "Willie Mays?" "Who's gay?" "Hello?" "...me now?" "What?" "Can you hear me now?" "Kind of." "Can you hear me now?" "Yes, perfect." "Seven days." "Seven days?" "Oh, my God." "I'm gonna die next Monday?" "Yes." "No, wait." "Monday." "That would be seven business days." "This is seven days starting now." "So seven days to this very hour?" "My watch broke." "How am I gonna know the exact hour?" "Forget hours." "This day, seven days from now." "But there's a holiday coming up." "Do you count the holiday as a day?" "Well, that depends." "What holiday?" "Martin Luther King Day." "Then no." "Why not?" "Everybody at work is taking it off." "Jesus Christ, lady." "I'm giving you seven friggin' days." "I can come over there now and kill the shit out of you if you'd rather have that." "George, I don't care what you say, man." "I'm signing you up for another rap battle." "Mahalik, I told you." "That part of my life is over." "I said the same thing about getting with CJ's sister." "But look at me." "I'm still hitting that." "He's still hitting it, man!" "And she fine as shit!" "That's my sister!" "What?" "It doesn't matter." "I'm done." "So, what are you gonna do with the rest of your life, dawg?" "I don't know." "Yeah, yeah!" "Come on!" "Maybe my brother was right." "Maybe I should just settle down." "What's up, then?" "Mother..." "I got another one, y'all." "Well, George, man, you can't focus on that shit, man." "Let that go." "Hey, you gotta try this shit, George." "Yo, man, you got to take the lid off!" "What's wrong with you, man?" "Yes, of course." "Sorry!" "Hello?" "George, something terrible has happened." "I really need your help." "Cindy, are you okay?" "What's going on?" "George!" "George, you have to help me." "I just watched this tape, the same tape that killed Brenda." "And then the phone rang, and this voice said that I was gonna die in seven days." "Cindy, there's no such thing as a killer videotape." "Hell, yeah, there is!" "In fact, I know somebody who can definitely help you with that." "You do?" "Who?" "Wait up, man." "I heard Jamal from 90th Street, he watched that tape last week." "And this morning he woke up dead." "No!" "How in the hell do you wake up dead?" "'Cause you're alive when you go to sleep." "Wait." "Just tell me who can help me." "So you telling me that you can go to bed dead and wake up alive?" "You can't go to bed dead!" "Man, that shit would be redundant." "Just tell me who." "No, it wouldn't." "'Cause you can go to bed and not be dead, and you can die but not be in a bed." "But you are in a bed, man." "That's how you wake up dead in the first place, fool!" "Damn!" "That's some quantum shit right there, man!" "That's what I'm talking about." "You should be teaching classes!" "You steady dropping knowledge!" "Just tell me who can help me!" "Damn!" "My Aunt ShaNeequa." "Her and her man are into all this weird shit." "They saw the tape before anybody else knew about it." "Matter of fact, you should go see them tonight." "Tonight?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "But who will take care of Cody?" "George, we're gonna have so much fun." "I have some jigsaw puzzles and board games and baseball cards in my room, and this really cool model airplane." "I'm gonna go get it." "Sure." "Okay, so I made him a snack, and you can give him some warm milk if he can't go to sleep..." "Don't worry." "Everything's gonna be fine." "Here it is." "I'm great with kids." "Heads up, Cody." "And in case of emergencies," "I left some numbers..." "I'm okay." "Sorry." "You okay, kiddo?" "That a boy!" "And I guess that's it." "Okay, I'm off." "Right." "You know, it's funny." "All a child ever really wants is a family." "Yo." "Cody really likes you." "He's a good kid." "Yeah." "Bye." "Bye." "Hello?" "I know." "You're Cindy." "Be right with you." "Aunt ShaNeequa?" "Bingo." "But you can call me the Oracle." "And don't worry about that vase." "What vase?" "Sorry, I didn't know." "That vase." "Please, sit." "It was the chair." "Yes, the chair." "I know why you've come." "A great mystery lies ahead of you, but you must not shy away from the challenge." "Only you can be the one who will..." "Orpheus?" "What, baby?" "Sweetie?" "I'm watching the game." "Do you mind?" "The Lakers will win by 12." "So can you tell me about..." "The tape?" "Yes." "I watched it, and..." "The phone rang." "Right." "And then this voice said..." "That you would die in seven days." "Okay, that's getting..." "Extremely annoying." "Yeah." "Try being married to her." "I catch shit about women I ain't slept with yet." "You made a copy of the tape." "Let's see it." "Yes, okay." "ShaNeequa, can you tell me if..." "The tape is connected to the crop circles and the aliens?" "Yes." "But it's up to you to discover how for yourself." "Look, it's a..." "Cigarette?" "I was going to say "lighthouse."" "Find that lighthouse." "It's your destiny." "Wait." "What is that?" "Oh, my God." "There we go." "Now, baby..." "I knew that was gonna happen." "Come on." "Hell, no." "Get your ass out the TV!" "What's wrong with you?" "I'm gonna teach you not to be..." "Get out that TV!" "Baby, no!" "No!" "No!" "Let her go!" "Let her go!" "Let her go!" "Yeah!" "Come on, we gonna get another lawsuit." "Come on!" "She spit on me." "I'll kill the bitch." "You won." "You won." "You won." "You won." "Upstairs." "Upstairs." "Okay." "Okay." "Down low." "Okay." "All right." "Baby, no!" "Kill her!" "Is you crazy?" "Is you crazy?" "Baby!" "What you gonna brush now?" "Cool down." "What you gonna brush now, huh?" "You picked the wrong TV to come out of." "George?" "Cody?" "George?" "What happened?" "I don't know." "Cody and I were playing a fun game, and then I looked down and..." "Yahtzee!" "No!" "Oh, my God!" "How could you let him watch the tape?" "I didn't..." "Hello?" "It's me." "How you doing?" "Fine." "Enjoying your last week?" "I can't wait to see you." "Six days now, right?" "Yeah." "Well, it was great catching up, but can I speak to Cody?" "Why?" "He didn't watch the tape." "Yes, he did." "Come on, Cindy, I do this for a living." "Leave us alone!" "Hello?" "Hello," "I'm calling from Reader's Digest with a fantastic offer for Cody." "No, you're not!" "You're that evil little girl from the tape!" "Okay, you got me." "How about I just leave a message for him?" "Fine." "Yeah." "Okay, how do you spell that?" "Right." "Okay, got it." "Bye-bye." "I can't believe you let that happen." "I know." "I'm sorry, I screwed up..." "Listen, we can still save him." "The answer to the tape, to your crop circles, is at a lighthouse." "You think I'm crazy, don't you?" "Of course I do, but the last thing you need now is a screw-up like me." "I'm gonna leave for good." "Wait." "Well, what should I tell Cody?" "Let him down easy." "Tell him I got called away on business." "You'll think of something." "Testicular cancer." "He won't ask questions." "I knew you'd understand." "George!" "Just be careful." "Something weird is going on at your farm." "I know it." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Sometimes a sheep just needs to be pushed through the fence." "What?" "Goodbye, Cindy." "Sue?" "I can't sleep." "Well, it's way past your bedtime." "Won't you rock me to sleep in your big, strong arms?" "There's plenty of room under the covers." "It's a hot night." "You don't need to wear pajamas." "Where is my daughter?" "Are you mad?" "I am your daughter." "No, you're not!" "Come here!" "What did you do with Sue?" "I didn't touch her." "I swear." "I don't believe you!" "Please!" "For God's sakes, she's a girl!" "You sick..." "Daddy!" "How do you like it, huh?" "Having fun?" "Tom, are you..." "What in the world?" "Look." "What is that thing?" "I don't know." "Maybe Cindy was right." "Please, sir." "All I need is five minutes." "And I told you, Campbell, no more paranoid on-air rants about the supernatural." "I know." "This station is about sex, violence and the weather." "Yes." "That reminds me." "We're gonna need that "Porn Star Shot Dead in a Hurricane" story." "One hour." "Meanwhile, a tornado in Charleston threatens a clothing-optional beach where, just yesterday, a naked couple was brutally murdered." "This just five miles from the spot..." "I'm sorry." "...where the last naked couple was brutally murdered." "Turning now to sports." "And an evil videotape that kills anyone who watches it in seven days." "It's true." "We're all in danger." "There's an alien force out there..." "Oh, no." "...that's trying to prevent you from knowing the truth." "Campbell, are you insane?" "Trust me, it's a horrible fate." "Carson, I have to do this." "Do you hear me?" "Correction, there really is no danger." "Actually, I didn't really mean anything I just said." "Yes, I did." "Every word of it." "Everyone watching this could be dead in a week." "1-3-4-19... 4-6-9..." "I been cleaning after this dumb-ass cracker, Giggins, for 10 years." "But I been waxing his bitch's ass for 12." "Know what I'm saying, nigger?" "I ride that ho like your mama rides the bus." "She likes her some chocolate." "Sharpton for President, y'all." "I'm outty." "Peace." "An evil videotape that kills people in seven days?" "Alien forces threatening the world?" "And who in the hell is this Cindy Campbell?" "If what she says is true, we're facing an unprecedented crisis." "Get me the President." "You are the President." "Good." "Then I already know about this." "Let's order lunch." "Sir, I think you need to go on TV and convince the people that there is no such thing as a UFO." "Don't spell in front of me, damn it." "Aliens, sir." "There's no such thing as aliens." "That's not quite true." "Sir?" "A year ago, a UFO crash-landed in New Mexico." "A body may have been recovered." ""May have been"?" "Well, there was a terrible mix-up." "It was Thanksgiving." "The body was sent down to the kitchen." "They shoved stuffing up its ass, and we ate it at a state dinner." "That's the last I saw of it." "No, scratch that." "There were some sandwiches made the next day." "Mr." "President!" "Listen to me carefully." "Agent Thompson!" "Back away from that window!" "What?" "Did I forget to put my pants on again?" "No, sir." "It's just a feeling I've been having since the news about the aliens." "Something's not right." "I know what you mean." "Like that feeling that something's not right." "What is it?" "Some old Tupac, sir." "All Eyez on Me." "Hey, this shit is banging." "Thank you, sir." "I appreciate it." "Hello, Cindy." "I am the Architect." "You have many questions." "I've been watching you for a very long time." "So I see." "But what is the connection between the crop circles and the videotape?" "The answer is simple." "You are the eventuality of an anomaly." "You are inexorably seeking a sedulant probability." ""Sedulant"?" "Grotesquery?" "No?" "What about "contingent affirmation"?" "That's got to mean something." "Hey!" "Hey!" "You put cameras in my bathroom?" "I can't..." "What is this?" "Oh, my God." "Well, it was a long winter." "I..." "This is an invasion of..." "Sorry." "I can't help it." "It's very lonely in here." "Ergo, I haven't been with anyone in a very long time, not counting myself, or this chair." "I call her..." "Linda." "Could you just cut to the chase?" "I'm kind of in a rush." "Why?" "You can always sleep over if you want." "Linda's built for two, and she vibrates." "Stop it!" "Just tell me what I need to know!" "Who is that little girl?" "Okay, okay!" "My wife and I wanted a child, but she couldn't get pregnant." "Neither could I." "So you adopted?" "We loved our daughter, but she was evil." "Made the horses crazy, killed our puppies, hid the remote, really sick shit." "My wife took her to the old family farm and drowned her in the well." "I felt a simple time-out would've been sufficient." "But Tabitha imprinted her evil on a videotape." "I never meant for it to get out, but..." "But what?" "I put it in the wrong box and returned it to Blockbuster, instead of my copy of Pootie Tang." "And it's been circulating and killing ever since." "Just like Pootie Tang." "But what does this have to do with aliens?" "I don't know." "Perhaps Tabitha's summoning them to kill us all." "An alien invasion?" "I have to warn the world." "It's already begun." "You're too late." "Oh, my God." "But not too late to make an old man happy." "What?" "What?" "And now, reports of lights in the sky." "Glimpses of spacecraft." "Possible alien sightings being reported all over the world." "Are they aliens?" "The first video images are coming in." "Disturbing home video tonight from a ranch outside Sydney, Australia." "Watch very carefully now." "There." "There it is." "Let's see that again." "Very, very disturbing." "And this just in from São Paulo, Brazil." "Let's see that again." "Very, very disturbing." "And this just in from south Texas." "Do they pose a threat?" "Only one thing's for certain." "We are all going to be killed." "We have to board up the house." "Are you sure this is necessary, Wilson?" "Having an awards ceremony at a time like this?" "Yes, sir." "Everything must appear business as usual." "The nation, while not yet panicked, is deeply disturbed." "Right." "Good, let's see if we can steer that course, keeping everybody deeply disturbed." "We don't want a panic." "Very few presidents have faced a crisis like this." "I wonder what President Ford would've done." "Well, if the buck stops here, the buck stops here." "Thank you, all, and welcome to the White House." "The Mother Teresa Awards recognize those who have overcome the severest handicaps and disadvantages to help others in their communities." "The young, the old, black and white." "Our Native-American friends." "Hey, how are you?" "Hey, how are you?" "Hey, how are you?" "Hey, how are you?" "Well, it is therefore my honor to present each and every one of you with this symbol of merit." "The room is secure, Mr. President." "Or is it?" "Sir?" "I've been thinking, Thompson." "What if the aliens could take over human bodies?" "They'd look just like us, or almost." "I never thought of that, sir." "We should be on alert for anything suspicious." "They could be anywhere, even..." "Right here." "My God." "We'd never see the attack coming." "It's frightening, sir!" "Don't panic." "We'll just move slowly toward the exit." "At last we meet, Mr. President." "It's happening." "I knew it!" "You'll never take me alive!" "She's scrambling my brain!" "I'll get her!" "No, you don't!" "Not on my watch!" "Good work, sir!" "Good God!" "The small ones have metal teeth!" "Jerry's Kids, my ass!" "Mr. President!" "Mr. President, have you gone completely insane?" "Like a fox." "We gotta talk to the one person who saw this coming, Cindy Campbell." "She knows how to defeat the aliens, these filthy, rotten scum!" "You hideous creature!" "Get off my planet!" "No!" "Mr." "President, is everything all right?" "The exits are all blocked." "I'll find one, sir." "Everybody, clear!" "This way, sir!" "God, this is exciting!" "You're excited?" "You should feel my nipples." "Cody?" "Cody?" "Cody, where are you?" "Honey?" "After today's incident in the East Room, the White House is now advising all citizens to board up their homes and prepare for an alien invasion." "Oh, no." "And now, a News 8 exclusive, the killer videotape you've been hearing about." "No..." "We're the only station that has it, and we're showing it all night." "Very exciting." "Let's roll it again." "There." "Nobody's getting through that sucker." "That's great, George, but we have to get down to the cellar." "George." "Cindy." "There's no time." "Get down to the cellar." "Cody!" "Thank God!" "Aunt Cindy!" "I've been worried sick about you." "He just showed up about an hour ago." "I tried to call." "No, he didn't." "Okay, but I was gonna." "No, he wasn't." "Look, Cody, the point is you can't just run away like that." "I wanted to be with George." "Honey, I know you want a dad, but..." "Trust me, Cody, I'm not good at anything." "Why would I be good at that?" "Uncle George!" "It's gonna be okay, Cody." "I'm going to die, aren't I?" "Cody, did I ever tell you what your mom said about you the day you were born?" "No." "I was in the delivery room with her." "She was having a hard time." "Then you began to come out of her." "And your mom screamed and screamed in pain." "She yelled, "Just kill me." "Bludgeon me with a bedpan." ""Whatever you do, put me out of this pain."" "She was gushing torrents of blood." "I have this all on tape if you wanna see it someday." "Well, finally you came out." "Your mom cut your umbilical cord herself." "Well, on the second try." "The first time, she snipped your penis in half." "After all, she was drunk." "Actually, drugged." "We'd been out the night before, celebrating Saint Patrick's Day, and she thought, "Hey, I never tasted crystal meth."" "So she did just a little." "My penis?" "Yes." "They sewed it on upside-down." "So that's why I pee up?" "Yes." "We'll get it fixed, honey." "It's on my list of things." "Right after we get TiVo." "Anyway, there you were." "And your mom turned to me, and she said "Hey, you want him?" "Take him."" "Then she died." "And I took you." "Do you know why?" "I had just lost my cat in a fire, and I needed something to pet and feed." "And I miss that cat, Cody." "But I love you, and nothing's ever gonna change that, not even the very painful death we're about to experience." "George!" "George." "Are they gone?" "I don't hear anything." "Don't worry, Sue." "It'll be all right." "It was Uncle George." "Well, it's scary." "Good work, Sue." "I don't know what stupid, idiotic thing made these lights go off." "All right, there's some spare fuses in the crawlspace." "If I can get to them, I can get these lights back on." "Quick, George, grab that railroad tie." "Jam it against the door." "My balls!" "Not those!" "Jesus!" "No!" "Uncle George!" "I'm scared!" "Sweetie, come here." "It's okay." "There's something on the other side of the door." "I can't see anything." "Oh, my God." "Can you see them?" "What are they doing?" "They're horrible." "They're grayish with big black eyes." "Their teeth are grotesque." "I think they're giggling." "What?" "Oh, no." "Oh, no, I think..." "I think they wanna eat me." "Help!" "Cody!" "Oh, my God!" "George." "Swing away, George." "I'm coming, Cody." "I'll save you." "Aunt Cindy, help!" "Die!" "Die!" "You damn aliens, let him go!" "You're not getting in here!" "What else you got?" "Bring it!" "George..." "There!" "Had enough?" "Forget it, Cody." "Thank me later." "Cody." "Thank God." "Come on." "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Sue!" "Mahalik, what are you doing here?" "Hey, man, I told you the 'hood's always got your back." "Thank God." "There's two of them at the door." "What?" "They're gone." "Good." "They couldn't get in." "I hear they can't open doors." "They mastered space flight, but they can't get through a wooden door?" "Look, the cellar's the safest place." "I say all the women and children stay here." "All right, and the men, we go outside and fight." "Right." "And what's the cut-off age for children?" "Come on, come on." "Follow me." "I'm sorry." "I thought I was hitting the brake." "Now, we don't have to go through insurance, do we?" "Mr. President, what are you doing here?" "I'm looking for Cindy Campbell." "She may hold the key to defeating the aliens." "Good." "The Air Force is here with those new round planes." "We don't have round planes, sir." "Oh, my God." "Wait." "Do you hear that?" "Yo, what's up, George?" "CJ!" "I told you, the 'hood always got your back." "And I got the boys with me." "Get out the car, man." "Yo, who we gonna shoot?" "Y'all ready to go step?" "Well, let's go do this, 'cause I'm hyped right now, B!" "I'm real hyped!" "You stepped on my shoe, bitch!" "Call me another bitch again, and I'll park your truck dead in your ass." "Calm down, man." "Damn, homey!" "In the cornfield." "They're coming!" "Hey, look, don't even worry about that." "Me and my boys here, we gonna go ahead and take care of this." "Hey, yo, come on, let's start it!" "If I was you, son, I'd bust this shit right now." "Your mama!" "I got your number, too, homey." "Hey!" "We over here, y'all!" "He ain't gonna bust nothing." "I got nuts bigger than him, ya heard?" "Percival, you country-ass, maple-syrup nigger." "Y'all want some biscuits?" "You want some biscuits?" "Get down!" "Get down!" "I can't believe what I just saw." "These men died for their country." "Send flowers to their bitches and hos." "I can't break free!" "Think!" "They must have some kind of weakness." "I found it!" "Without their heads, they're powerless!" "Please, no." "We mean you no harm." "We traveled to your planet to find an evil little girl." "We must destroy her before seven days." "You mean you watched the videotape?" "Our satellite picked up what we thought was Pootie Tang." "That was a week ago." "And now our entire race will die unless the girl is destroyed." "See?" "They are peaceful." "Well, if they're so peaceful, man, why were they choking us a few minutes ago?" "That's how we say hello." "Hello!" "Nice to see you." "Hello, hello." "Hello, hello." "Well, how do you guys say goodbye?" "I had to ask." "If you think that's strange, you should see how we pee." "So we're not so different after all." "There's something about this place." "It's like I've seen it before." "Oh, my God." "This used to be their farm." "She died right here." "There's something down there." "Push back." "Follow through." "Hey." "Follow through." "Yeah." "You got it." "Just look at this." "Human beings and aliens working together." "We're all just one big galactic family." "Family." "That's just what I've been running away from." "Well, that's because you're an idiot." "This is it." "My wife took her to the old family farm and drowned her in the well." "The little girl." "She's frightened of the well." "Cindy!" "Time to go back down the well, bitch." "Cindy!" "No." "Don't hurt him!" "Cindy, you have to come outside." "The aliens aren't invading..." "Don't worry, Cody." "I'll save you." "Wait!" "Wait." "Don't do this." "You don't have to be evil." "I know what happened to you, Tabitha." "I know what your mom did." "That was wrong." "You were just a little girl." "And you're still that little girl, just a lot more corpsy and with really bad teeth." "But maybe all you need is a mother." "And a father." "We could be..." "A family." "Thank you all." "Your love has broken the curse and freed my soul." "I'll never have to kill again." "Really?" "Nah!" "I'm just screwing with you!" "I just want to tell you both good luck." "We're all counting on you." "Now it's over." "No, no, it's okay." "He's our friend." "Thank you for saving our species." "Now we must return to our home planet." "Goodbye, then." "Goodbye." "Hey, congratulations, George!" "You know the 'hood always got your back." "Yeah, yeah!" "Come on!" "Bye!" "Thank you." "George, I'm so happy." "Finally we're a family." "Yeah." "You, me, and..." "Damn!" "Damn!" "Cindy!" "George!" "Wait!"

"I wish I had a light-skinned boyfriend with real nice hair." "And I wanna be on the cover of a magazine." "But first, I wanna be in one of them BET videos." "Momma said I can't dance." "Plus, she said, who wants to see my big ass dancing, anyhow?" "Well, if there's no volunteers, then I'm going to have to call people." "Okay, Leticia, you got number one." "Leticia!" "Jess Wesley, number two." "I like math." "I don't say nothing." "I don't open my book, even." "I just sit there." " You down?" " Number six." "Every day I tell myself something's gonna happen." "I'm..." "I'm dead serious." "Like, I'm gonna break through." "Or somebody's gonna break through to me." "I'm gonna be normal and pay attention, and sit in the front of the class." "Distributive principles..." "Someday." "...are principles that you can do in your head." "I like Mr. Wicher." "I pretend he my husband and we live someplace like Westchester." "Look at him." "He like me, too, I know it." "I can tell by his eyes." "He always looking at me and smiling at me." "Boys!" "Boys!" "Boys!" "I'm not your fucking boy!" "You're disrupting the class." "Yeah, well, I'm talking now, so you listen." "Shut the fuck up!" "I'm trying to listen!" "Mr. Wicher know I got his back." "One twenty-two." "Why are we barking, Jess?" "Monday's assignment." "I'm assuming everybody did it." " No." " No." "Please..." "Quiet." "Precious, get your things." "I have..." "Come here for a second." "Now this shit." "Is there anybody who didn't do their homework?" "Why?" "These aren't requests." "These are requirements." "Okay?" "You have to go to the principal's office." "Go to the principal's office!" "All right, that's enough." "That's enough." "No, he's not allowed on campus." "Where was he seen?" "Could you get Mr. Tork from Room 25, tell him to go to Room 16 right away?" "Thank you." "No." "He was seen on the second floor." "Yes." "Thank you." "Send Claireece in here!" "She's ready for you now." "Mr. Taylor?" "Ms. Lichenstein." "Come in." "Matthew Williams, second floor." "In front of his locker." "Yes." "Suspended last week." "Yeah." "Yes, absolutely." "Thank you." "Hello, Claireece." "Are you pregnant?" "You're 16." "You're still in junior high school, and you're pregnant with your second child." "Is that correct, Claireece?" "Are you pregnant again?" "What happened, Claireece?" "I had sex, Ms. Lichenstein." "Do you have any other thoughts about your situation, Claireece?" "Claireece?" "Am I in trouble?" "Thank you." "I gotta get back to math." "Sit down, Claireece." "Sit down right now." "We should have a parent-teacher's conference with you, me and your mother." "My mother's busy." "All right." "Well then, how about if I come to your house?" "If I were you, I wouldn't." "I..." "I'm going to have to suspend you." "That ain't fair!" "I didn't do nothing!" "I do my work!" "My grades is good!" "Is something going on at home?" "If something's going on at home, I want you to tell me right now." "You get my cigarettes?" "No, they didn't have it." "I played the number, though." "I couldn't box it." "Yes." "Yeah." "Right there." "Yeah." "Daddy loves you." "Precious, what did you think of the film?" "I thought it was fabulous." " What's next for you?" " What?" " How are you feeling?" " I feel great!" "Just one more, just one more, quick!" "I love you, too!" "You know I love you!" "Hey, boo!" "I ain't gonna say it no more." "The door was open, so I let myself in." "Well, there goes my chance to tell you I'm not home." "Now, Mary, this is important." "Now, come on, Mary, she'll have a great time." "I'd enroll myself, but I became ineligible for teen pageants a few days ago." "Yeah, I see your acne's cleared up." "You know, this pageant can do Brenda a world of good, Mary." "And the man in charge, he's tops in his field." "A brilliant promoter." "How long have you two been dating?" "A dance teacher." "Tell them assholes to stop ringing my bell." "I hate crackheads." "No one ever ring this bell except for crackheads." "Why they fucking with us?" "Stop ringing the goddamn buzzers, motherfuckers!" "Give the ghetto a bad name." "Stop ringing the goddamn buzzer!" "Stop it!" "Press "listen," stupid." "It's Sandra Lichenstein for Claireece and Ms. Mary Johnston." "Who is that, Precious?" "White bitch from school." "What do you want?" "Claireece, I want to talk to you about your education." "Eighty-six that bitch." "My mother don't wanna get cut off welfare." "And that's just what this visit gonna result in." "Ms. Lichenstein, get out of here before I kick your ass." "All right, Claireece, I spoke to Mr. Wicher, and he told me that you're one of his best math students." "If your fat ass don't get that bitch away from here like a, like a potential for math." "So I called Mrs. McKnight from Higher Education Alternative Each One Teach One." "It's an alternative school." "Claireece, are you listening to me?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Mrs. McKnight." "Each One Teach One." "It's located at the 11th floor, Hotel Theresa, 125th Street." " Get rid of that bitch." " The semester started a few days ago, so you're not too late." "Eleventh floor." "I heard you the first time." "Okay." "I don't know what an alternative school is, but I feel I wanna know." "My heart is all warm inside." "Mr. Wicher think I'm a good student." "I knew that he liked me." "School ain't gonna help none!" "Take your ass down to the welfare." "Who the fuck she think she is?" "So I guess you think you cute now, right?" "Uppity bitch." "You should have kept your fucking mouth shut." "Just 'cause he gonna give you more children than he give me, you think you something fucking special?" "Fuck you and fuck him!" "Precious!" "Precious!" "Precious!" "Get down here, bitch!" "You brought that white bitch up in my house!" "You..." "Why would you bring that bitch up in here?" "I didn't bring her here." "Well, why the fuck did she ring my buzzer?" "I can't hear you, Precious." "Since you got so much motherfucking mouth, and you gonna bring a bitch up in my house, why would that bitch ring my goddamn buzzer?" "I didn't tell her to come here." "See, I think right now, you feeling like you're becoming a grown woman." "'Cause of that shit you pulled in the kitchen." "I should've fucked you up, but I let you walk away, and I let you come get yourself together." "But, bitch, I'm gonna let you know if you ever pull that shit on me again, that will be your last motherfucking day standing," "I promise you that." "You gonna send a white bitch to my motherfucking buzzer?" "Talking about some higher education?" "You're a dummy, bitch, you will never know shit." "Don't nobody want you." "Don't nobody need you." "You done fucked around and fucked my motherfucking man and had two motherfucking children, and one of them is a goddamn animal, running around, looking crazy as a motherfucker." "Bitch, you know what?" "See, I think you..." "I think you're trying me." "I think you're really trying to fuck with me." "You're fucking with my money." "And you're gonna stand up there and look down at me like you're a motherfucking woman." "I'm gonna show you what real women do, bitch." "See, you don't know what real motherfucking women do." "Real motherfucking women sacrifice." "I should've aborted your motherfucking ass." "'Cause you ain't shit." "I knew it the day the doctors put you in my goddamn hand you wasn't a goddamn thing, and you have that smirk on your face, bitch?" "Get it off your fucking face!" "Now smile about that!" "Smile about that, you fat bitch." "I'm gonna kill you, bitch!" "Get off me, bitch!" "And "blank" and eggs?" " Bacon?" " Right." " And "What's up, Doc?" He eats these." " Carrots." " Right." "And ice, it comes in a tray." " Ice cubes." "Right." "And the best part of the steak." "The..." " The T-bone." "The..." " No." " Filet mignon." " Right!" " And an English..." "Thomas' English..." " Muffin!" " Right." " That's it!" "You really need to get some rest." "You have such a big day ahead of you tomorrow." "And remember, Mommy loves you." "Describe these things that are planned." "Things that are planned." "Ready?" "Go!" "Precious, you know I love you." "I'm gonna kick that white lady out of my house, move you in with me." "Wanna live in Westchester?" " Commit a..." " Crime." "And this is you get back together again." " A class..." " Reunion." "And this is when you're like this," " you're expecting..." " Pregnant." " Yeah." "And this is you make a fast..." " Escape." " Right." " That's it!" "Where you going?" "Make sure you play my 852 and tell them to box it." "And get some kitty litter." "Ethel, where you at?" "Precious, what are we gonna play?" "Girl, get the fuck out of here." "Ain't you supposed to be at school or something?" "You said we was gonna play." "That's exactly why we ain't gonna be playing." "I never said nothing like that." "You would say some shit like that to me, and you don't even mean it?" "No, I'm not playing with you." "No, and she call..." "Hold on." "Each One Teach One, hold, please." "Yes." "She called my house." "I know it wasn't your sister, Trey." "Because it wasn't her." "What this is here?" "Each One Teach One." "I'm looking for an alternative school." "This is an alternative." "What alternative is?" "What exactly are you asking me?" "Lady at my other school told me to come here." "Hotel Theresa." "Said it's an alternative school." "An alternative school, it's like a choice." "It's a different way of doing things." "So, I need your discharge papers saying that they discharged you." "I got kicked out of school 'cause I was pregnant." "Well, I still need your discharge papers, otherwise we can't let you in." "Ms. Lichenstein didn't say all that." "You the one she called about." "Claireece P. Jones?" "They already sent over your discharge papers and stuff." "I could start today?" "Yeah." "Are you currently receiving AFDC?" "My mother get AFDC for me and my daughter." "So your mother has custody of you and your daughter, and you're on her budget?" "Okay, well, I'm gonna need a copy of your mother's budget, and a copy of your phone bill and your utility bill." "We gotta give you a few tests, test your reading and your math level, see where to place you." "Hold on, baby." "Each One Teach One, hold." "To enter into the GED classes, you gotta get an 8.0 or better on the TABE." "There's always something wrong with these tests." "These tests paint a picture of me with no brain." "These tests paint a picture of me and my mother, my whole family, as less than dumb." "Just ugly, black grease to be wiped away, find another job for." "Sometimes I wish I was dead." "I'll be okay, I guess, 'cause I'm looking up." "I'm looking up for a piano to fall." "Or a desk, couch, TV..." "Momma, maybe." "Always something in my way." "Yeah, man." "Yo, make sure you get that for me, too, man." "Alternative." "Man, you gotta stop smoking them shits, man." "That ain't the only thing that's gonna fucking kill you." "Hustling in these streets gonna kill you." "It is what it is." "Then my mind come back down to Earth." "Let me get some of that sweet ass, orca!" "What up, mama?" "Why boys always grabbing on themselves?" "You heard what the fuck I said?" "I said give me some fucking ass." "I'm serious!" "When you gonna let me hit that?" "That bitch is laughing..." "I wish they'd leave me alone." " She's stupid." " Yeah." "Yo, that's not even funny." "That's what she'd get anyway, no." "Precious!" "Ma, I need some money!" "Ma, I'm hungry!" "Come take care of Mommy, Precious." "I wish she'd stop this shit." "The other day I cried." "I felt stupid." "But you know what?" "Fuck that day." "That's why God, or whoever, makes new days." "Still hungry, though." "Nigger wants me to leave my kids." "They're my kids." " What d'you want, baby?" " Give me a basket, please." " Sides?" " I don't know yet." "Still thinking about it." "Trying to watch my figure." "Butchie, you got a 10-piece ready?" "Potato salad." "Thank you." "Hell, no, she didn't!" "Get her ass!" "Get that big bitch!" "No, I am not the one." "You in ABE?" "Yeah." "Time's a-wasting." "What's your name?" "Claireece." "Are you coming in?" "That door closes in 20 seconds." "How are you guys doing today?" "Would you like to join us, Consuelo?" "Consuelo, class is beginning." "You guys know that you are in the ABE class." "This is not GED." "This is to get you ready for your GED." "These journals are very important to this class, so do not forget them." "You will need to use them every day that you are here." "They are the key to this class." "It's 9:07, Joann." "You're late." "You're the one who said breakfast is the most important meal of the day." "Tomorrow, that door will be locked at 9:00." "I want you to state your name, where you were born, your favorite color, something you do well and why you're here." "I'll go first." "When you due?" " My name..." " What you mean, you don't know?" "...is Blu Rain." " That's your real name?" " Yes, it is." "Your first name's Blu?" "My favorite color is purple." "I sing well." "And I'm here because I love to teach." "She like to sing." "Rhonda?" "I wish I could sing." "Go to church and sing in the choir." "Show them how it's done." "All right." "My name is Rhonda Patrice Johnson." "Problem?" " I should smack her." " What?" "I was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and my favorite color is blue." "And I cook good." "My mother, she used to have a restaurant over on 7th Avenue." "Before she get sick, she teach me everything." "So I'm here to get my reading up, so I can get my GED." "My name is Rita Romero." "I was born here in Harlem." "I'm here 'cause I was an addict and I dropped out of school."

"I wish I could've just started out here, but still with Abdul." "I'm gonna get Mongo, too." "I gotta get Mongo back." "Hey, Miss Cassidy." "Hey, Precious, somebody downstairs for you." " Who is it?" " I didn't ask who it was." "You want me to watch the baby?" "No, I gotta go down and get him anyway." "Your daddy dead." "That's all?" "He had that AIDS virus." "There you go, dreaming again!" "Precious, do you hear me talking to you?" "Did you hear what I said?" "You got it?" "Got what?" " The AIDS virus." " No." "How do you know?" "We never did it up in the ass, so I know." "You better get to a doctor, Mom." "You coming home?" "Yo, Precious!" "Rita, what do I mean when I say the author describes her protagonist's circumstances as "unrelenting"?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "It's like, say, like if Rita, she tries to do something, and she's going and she's going, and me, I try to stop her and she no stop, she keep on going." "Relentless-un." "I'll see you tonight." "Bye." "Come with me." "Precious?" "Excuse me?" "Nurse say I'm HIV positive." "I ain't got nothing to write today." "Is your baby okay?" "He all right." "I just got to stop breastfeeding him." "Remember, you once told me you never really got to tell your story." " Write." " Fuck you!" "You know nothing of what I've been through." "I ain't never had no boyfriend." "My daddy said he gonna marry me." "How he gonna do that?" "It would fucking be illegal!" "Write." "I'm tired, Ms. Rain." "If not for yourself, then for the people who love you." "Nobody loves me." "People do love you, Precious." "Please don't lie to me, Ms. Rain." "Love ain't done nothing for me." "Love beat me, raped me, called me an animal, make me feel worthless." "Make me sick." "That wasn't love, Precious." "Your baby loves you." "I love you." "Write." "What are you thinking?" "You never told me about your relationship with your mother." "I didn't, did I?" "Really, I'm here to help you." "You can talk to me." "This is a safe environment." "You're right." "We could talk about your daddy instead." "We could talk about my mother, my father, my aunts or my sister or my brother, but none of it's gonna help you." "You don't even like me." "Have we not been in this room together for, like, a year, discussing your life?" "Does that mean we like each other, because we discuss my life?" "I can't speak for you." "I can only speak for me, and I do like you." "I do." "So, are you Italian, or..." "What color are you, anyway?" "Are you some type of black or Spanish?" "What color do you think I am?" "No, I'd like to know." "What color do you think I am?" "My throat is dry." "Your throat is dry?" "It's really hot in here." "It is kind of hot in here." "I'm gonna go get a soda." "What do you want?" "Soda sounds fine." "All right." "Thank you." "No problem." "So, I have to talk to you about your mother, and I don't know how you're gonna feel about this, but she says she wants to see you and she wants to be reunited with you and her grandchildren." "She wants to come and have a session here with you." "What did you tell her?" "I said I had to speak to you about it." "It's up to you." "I don't know." "I never thought about it before." "Ms. Weiss said in that file I got HIV." "She said I was supposed to die from it." "I ain't worried about dying." "Shit, I gotta worry about how I'm supposed to raise these kids." "I was just writing, like, about..." "I wanna open up this clinic about, like, mothers and their children." "You know, just, if they're sick or something like that." "I always wanted to do that, give back to the community." "Because I know my mom would be proud of me if I did that, and my children, too." "I want my children to be proud of their mother, you know?" " That's always what I wanted to do, so..." " That's good." "That's really nice." "I don't really want to read the whole thing, I kind of just wanna say what it's about." "Okay, the counselors at Advancement House, they were quizzing me about my mother and my father, right?" "But it's not really about them." "They're trying to get me to do workfare." " They want me to be a home attendant." " How do you know?" "Because I stole my file and I read it." "All they want me to do is work." "Now, I do wanna work, but not for no welfare check." "What kind of sense that make, for somebody like Precious to quit school before she got her GED and go work for some old white people somewhere?" "She ain't never gonna be nothing if she gets stuck in some shit like that." "Rhonda used to home attend." "She used to have to go all the way out to Brighton Beach." "Yeah, okay, Rhonda would be working there all day and night." "She'd be on call, right?" "She made $6.37 an hour, but for only eight hours." "That equal out to $50.96." "But that's not a whole lot of money, especially 'cause, for real, she there for 24 hours." "So, $50.96 divided by 24 is $2.12 an hour." "That's not a lot of money." "She said that old bitch would ring a bell, like, a real-life, actual bell when she wanted something from her in the middle of the night." " You don't want to do that shit." " Rhonda, is that true?" "Rhonda!" "Them home attendants be working for, like, six days a week." "I'd only see Abdul on Sunday." "Plus, I'd have to leave class." "Well, that's not an option." "You're not leaving class." "Plus, I'm gonna start going to insect survivor meetings." "It's "incest. "" " That ain't what I said?" " No, you said "insect. "" "What's the difference?" "Well, one's where your family molests you, the other's like a roach or bugs." " So, you a scientist now?" " I'm just saying." "No, that's cool." "Thank you." "Thank you." "It was hard telling them strangers there what my father did." "Sometimes it felt good." "Last week, Ms. Rain asked us to write down what we wanna be like." "I wrote that I be real skinny, with light skin and long hair." "Loretha Holloway?" "Go on back there." "She read it and said I'm beautiful like I am." "But, there's no kids back there for me to play with." "Just shut up and sit there, then." "Gonna talk to this lady before my shit gets cut off." "But somehow, right now..." "And I don't know why, but..." "I think she right." "Here." "Claireece Jones?" "I think she right." "Okay, Mrs. Johnston, let's talk about the abuse." "There were no drugs in my house." "I didn't play that." "There weren't no drugs in my house." "Precious knew I would whup her ass if she gonna bring some drugs up in my house." "You know what I'm talking about." "I'm referring to specific sexual and physical acts involving Precious." "Why you ain't say that?" "Yes, that." "What do you wanna know?" "According to Precious' files, she has now had two children by your boyfriend, the late Carl Kenwood Jones, who was also her father." " Yeah." " This is accurate?" "Yes, Ms. Weiss." "I need to know why you're here." "You've been calling this office saying you want to be reunited with Precious and your grandchild." "Now, I really need to know what's gone on in that home." "Ms. Weiss, I understand we need to discuss it, but I'm just telling you." "You said I've been calling here and I've been wanting to see" "Precious and my grandson." "You're goddamn right I wanna see them." "Because they belong to me." "Okay?" "Now, there was a time Precious had everything, and I done told her that." "And me and Carl, we loved Precious." "And you need to know that." "We loved Precious and we had dreams." "Precious was born around the same time Ms. West's son got killed." "The summertime." "She was born in the summertime." "Remember?" "Remember that?" "I was born in November." "November." "Yeah, that's right." "My Scorpio child." "You know..." "Scorpios, they can be tricky." "And, I'm not saying that they lie." "I'm not saying that." "But you just gotta watch them." "Can we talk about the actual acts of physical and sexual abuse that occurred in your household?" "When it first began, where it happened and how did you respond?" "Precious was a little girl." "Try and remember how old you think she was." "She was three." "And I had been giving her the bottle and I was giving Carl the tittie because my milk hadn't dried up in my breasts but not from her, but because Carl was..." "Because Carl was sucking on them and that's what kept my milk in my breasts." "And I thought that that was for hygiene." "I did what my mother told me that I was supposed to do with my child, so that's what I did." "And you're sitting up there and you're trying to judge me..." "I'm not judging you, but you're asking me for money and you're asking me to be reunited with your grandson." "But, Ms. Weiss, I don't like you looking at me like that." "You got this bitch looking at me like I'm some kind of fucking monster." "We don't talk like this in my office, okay?" "I didn't want her sucking behind him, because that was nasty." "And things that he was..." "It was just nasty, Ms. Weiss." "I had a man, and I have a child and I had to take care of both of them." "Okay?" "Did I want Carl to touch my baby?" "Because I would lay my baby." "I would lay her on the side of me, on this pillow and it was pink and it had this little white writing on it and it had her name, because she was precious." "And I would lay my baby on that pillow and Carl would be laying on the other side and then we would..." "We would start doing it and he reached over and he touched my baby." "And I asked him," "I said, "Carl, what are you doing?"" "And he told me to shut..." "To shut my fat ass up, and it was good for her." " And what did you do then?" " I shut my fat ass up." "And I don't want you to sit there and judge me, Ms. Weiss." "You shut up and you let him abuse your daughter?" "I did not want him to abuse my daughter." " I did not want him to hurt her." " But you allowed him" " to hurt her." " I did not want him to do nothing to her." "I wanted him to make love to me." "That was my man." "That was my fucking man." "That was my man and he wanted my daughter." "And that's why I hated her." "Because my man, who was supposed to be loving me, who was supposed to be making love to me, was fucking my baby." "She made him leave." "She made him go away." "So, whose fault was it, then?" "It's this bitch's fault because she let my man have her and she didn't say nothing." "She didn't scream." "She didn't do nothing." "So, those things she told you I did to her, who else was gonna love me?" "Since you got your degree and you know every-fucking-thing, who was gonna love me, who was gonna make me feel good?" "Who was gonna touch me and make me feel good late at night?" "And she made him go away, so..." "When you sit there and you write them fucking notes on your pad about who you think I am, and why I did it, all of that." "Because I didn't have nobody." "The people from" "Each One Teach One, they had..." "They called me and they told me that my baby was writing poems." "In fact, you know what, I got..." "Wait a minute." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "And, Ms. Weiss, I don't want no checks." "I don't need no more money." "Please." "I'm so sorry." "I took that TABE test again." "And what happened?" "I scored a 7.8." "Last time it was 2.8." "According to that test," "I'm reading at a seventh- and eighth-grade level." "Next year, high school." "After that, college." "Well, I like you, too." "But you can't handle me." "You can't handle none of this." "You know, I never knew what you was until this day." "Not even after all the things you did." "Maybe I was too stupid, or maybe I just didn't want to." "You ain't gonna see me no more." "Bye!" "I didn't want him to hurt my baby." "Please, God, I didn't want him to hurt my baby." "Ms. Weiss, I didn't want him to hurt my baby." "I would say to him, I would say..." ""Carl, what are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?"" "Can you go get her back?" "You can do that, because that's what you do." "That's what you do." "I need you to go and I need you to get my baby back." "You told me that I could come in here and you could get..." "You could get Precious to say..." "Ms. Weiss?" "Ms. Weiss?" "Ms. Weiss?"

"1-7 sector george." "Be advised, report of a 10-30 at 695..." "Two-five henry, be advised of a 10-31 at lexington ave." "Between 115 and 116 street." " tyrell, can i get a picture?" " Tyrell, over here!" "for my kids." "Thanks a lot, man." "Tyrell mann." "Congratulations." "What a day." "One you'll long remember." "We figured you'd go in the first round, but no one thought you'd be a top five pick." "How'd you make it happen?" "Well, you know, people underestimated me because I come from a small schoo but I busted open at the combine, mr." "Enberg." "You're drafted by the division champs." "Any predictions?" "Super bowl, baby." "All the way." "Super bowl bling for the mann." "My, looks as if you have a fan." "Hey, everybody wants to be super mann." "Thanks." "Hey, it's a bird, it's a plane," " it'S..." " matthew palmer." "Found this ten feet from the vic." "Credit card, couple of business cards, all belonging to matthew palmer." "No cash." "Robbery gone bad?" "Bigger question is, what's with the superhero outfit?" "Well, I'm thinking costume party or publicity stunt." "Football draft's in town." "Tyrell mann was a come-from-hind first-round pick today." "And they call him "super mann."" "I'm with the press." "Excuse me." "Oh, here we go." "Hey, jane?" "That tape's there for a reason." "Come on, flack." "You're only as good as your last exclusive." "Oh, yeah, I know." "When we know something, you're the first." "I promise." "mac taylor." "Bye." "We're on our way." "a guy in a cape." "Clothes left inside a phone booth." "Come on, mac." "No way."

"Now!" "Come on, bitch, you got earwax?" "You okay?" "Yeah, yeah." "And the last time I saw him, he was chasing the guy who robbed me." " Mr. Palmer, I'm going to need the addres of that atm." " Yeah." "You, uh, thought that was me in the alley, huh?" "Well, we found yr wallet next to the victim's body." " The man in the superhero costume?" " Yeah." "That man saved my life." "I'm never going to be able to thank him." "I should put a "do not disturb" sign on the door." "You're grumpy this morning." "I've got a full house, and your john doe isn't making my job any easier." "What do you have so far, sid?" "Your vic was no man of steel." "He's seen a lot of action, but none of it related to cause of death." "Souvenirs." "Been pulling stuff out of him all morning." "Round from a .22 in his thigh." "Three or four years old." "Damage was minimal, most likely a defecte load." "Old piece of scissors buried deep in his shoulder." "We have a witness who says the victim was chasing a man with a knife." "That blade came out of a long-healed wound." "At least three years." "By the sloppy scar," "I'd say the vic did his own patchwork." "So what about C.O.D.?" "Already sent blood to tox." "Next I'll start taking him apart." "See what made him stop ticking." "Tyrell mann." "They called him super mann." "With good reason." "45 college career touchdowns, over 3,000 career rushing yards, and he averaged 7.2 yards a carry." "Don't tell me you know a little something about football, please." "Is that so hard to believe?" "No, it's just dangerous." "I might ask you to marry me." "Sad." "This kid had the best day of his life yesterday." "Somebody decided to make it his last." "Who found him?" "Uh... ernie albergo from room service." "He knocked,didn't hear anybody and let himself in." "And who's this guy wearing out the carpet behind him?" "Tyrell mann's personal physician-slash-trainer." "And he's not leaving until he gets some answers." "Puncture wound." "Seems too big to be from a syringe, huh?" "It's odd." "He doesn't have any bruising or any defensive wounds." "Nothing to indicate he struggled." "So the attacker came up from behind him." "Surprised him." "If that's his only injury... why is he dead?" "It doesn't look like enough blood to indicate he bled out." "Yeah, the carpet is dark, and there's padding underneath." "I'll get it to pino, see if he can squeeze out enough blood to confirm C.O.D." "What could kill somebody this big and this strong that fast?" "Let's tackle that question."

"Managed to pull a workable print off the glasses found in the phone booth, and they match your john doe." "So he changed in the phone booth before he came to the rescue at the atm." "Yeah, it's just like the real deal." "This look odd to you?" "No zippers, no laces, consistent with prisoners" " and people on suicide watch." " Yeah." "Anything from missing persons?" "Not yet." "Huh." "I-I just don't see the upside." "What do you mean?" "What would make a man put on a superhero suit and... and risk it all?" "The naive belief that one man can make a difference." "What you got here?" "Glass." "Found it on both the clothes and the superhero suit." "If we can determine the elemental composition of this glass, it might tell us where it came from." "Now it's time for us to use our superpowers." "And help id our vic." "This can't be right." "We got an ibis hit from the .22 found on the vic." "Came back from a solved case." "The shooter's in riker'S." "Said he was robbing a bodega two years ago when a man in a superhero suit attacked him." "Another crime foiled by our mystery hero." "Vigilante's more like it." "Oh, come on, mac, he helped people." "Yeah, and he was killed for his trouble." "When you were a kid, you ever tie a towel around your neck, pretend to be a superhero?" "Little mac man, maybe?" "Sergeant rock." "Couldn't get me out of fatigues when I was a kid." "Detectives, I've got your libs results." "Let's have it." "Look, I just want you guys to know that I ran the test ke three times, along with multiple control samples just to make sure." "The instruments were working fine, so I did it again and, well,I got the same result," " so..." " all right, adam." "Spit it out." "The glass that dr.Hawkes pulled from our john doe, it tested positive for krypton." "Krypton?" "Kryptonite was superman's only weakness." "Well, that explains everything." "Lindsay, can you hand me that scalpel?" "Since when do you work the day shift, pino?" "Hey, I was out of here five hours ago, and then the man came in." "Tyrell mann." "I could not pass up thisutopsy." "You see the air bubbles escaping from the heart?" "The vic did not bleed out, lindsay." "There was not enough blood on the carpet from the scene." "You were right." "The cause of death is an air embolism." "So, air was forced into the bloodstream." "Yeah." "Via the murder weapon." "Something punctured the external jugular vein here." "Due to negative pressure in the veins that suck blood towards the heart the air mixes with blood, causing the bubbles to form producing a valve lock." "Your vic probably struggled to take one, maybe two breaths, collapsed immediately." "Any idea what the murder weapon might be?" "No." "Not so far." "Footballs." "There were two balls signed by mann that were inflated." "And then there were two thatwere flat that weren't signed." "Somebody was pumping air into those balls." "A sport pump has a needle that would be consistent with the wound and an embolism." "But, danny, we turned that hotel suite upside down-- we didn't see anything like that." "Killer took it with him." "I may have a clue that points you in the right direction." "That writing was covered with blood." "It appears to be several digits of a phone number." "Now, the woman you're looking for wears long-lasting lipstick." "There's a lot of oil for moisturizing lips." "Doesn't wash off so easily with water." ""Call me."" "The last letter is an E. Found it smeared in lipstick on the hotel sheets." "So I can take the numbers and combine them with the two I found and possibly get to mystery woman number one." "Now for the extra point." "Our vic suffers from a floating kneecap." "It's an injury that he sustained at least four years ago." "There's evidence of injections of corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory drugs, and the ligaments beneath the patella barely holding together." "Wait a minute here." "Nobody's going to sign him first round if he's got a knee injury like that." "They will if they don't know about it." "Well, how do you keep something like that secret?" "You hire aersonal physician-slash-trainer." "Mr. Uitt, how you doing?" "Some water, please." "Why don't you just leave me your card, detective?" "I've answered enough questions today." "Well, I bet you didn't answer the most important one." "You ever hear of extortion?" "How much was mann paying you to keep his secret?" "That's a serious knee injury he's got." "Tyrell mann was healthy." "Don't you read the papers?" "He ran a 4.3 40 at the combine." "Miracles of modern medicine." "You inject him with painkillers and cortisone every day... or every other day?" "I just did what the college paid me to do." "I took care of their scholarship athlete." "That's not a crime." "I talked to the athletic department." "They said you took a leave of absence two months ago." "Tyrell askede to get him ready for the drt." "And he paid you with...?" "A promise." "That when he got drafted," "I get everything he owed me." "Bet you never imagined he'd go fourth in the first round." "What are we talking about," "$3 million,$4 million guaranteed signing bonus?" "That couldn't have happened without you keeping his knee healthy." "Keeping his secret suddenly cost him more than he bargained for, right?" "Maybe he didn't want to pay you." "And I killed him for it." "I don't know, maybe you two get into an argument." "Things get out of hand." "If you had any proof of that," "I'd be sitting in a jail cell asking to make my one phone call instead of here on this barstool." "You were in tyrell mann's suite last night." "You lost your stylus." "We found it underneath his body covered in blood." "I stopped by his suite to go over the next day's schedule." "I dropped it." "So what are you-- his secretary, also?" "You know that kid was an amazing athlete." "All he wanted was one year." "One year to play football in the nfl, and yes, he offered me a lot of money to help him do that." "Now why would I kill my meal ticket, detective?" "Why would I kill my friend?" "Autopsy report came back on our superhero." "Traces of risperidone and lithium." "Not enough for cause of death." "He was taking an antipsychotic drug and an antidepressant." "Hey, flack just dropped this off." "It's the prescription we're thinking carter bought in the alley." "It was written by a dr." "Burr from the new york psychiatric home." "New york psychiatric home... what, what is it?" "Tox flagged risperidone and lithium in our vic." "One treats depressive disorders." "The other delusional psychosis." "Explains why our john doe thought he was superman." "Yes, this is a sheet from my prescription pad, but I didn't write it." "I'm not in the business of writing prescriptions to non-patients." "Someone must have broken into my office." "Well, sir, then we will need a sample of your handwriting to compare." "Of course." "Was this man a patient here?" "That's clark." "Clark?" "Clark kranen." "His mother committed him about 25 years ago." "this was clark's room." "He came to us with developmental difficulties." "He had limitations in mental functioning and communication skills." "What was his official diagnosis?" "He had what we'd call mild mental tardation." "But he still needed lp taking care of himself." "Excuse me, dr." "Burr." "Miss williams is looking for you." "Mr. Zimmerman is acting up again." "Perhaps mr." "Dox can answer any more of your questions." "Excuse me." "clark needed help taking care of himself." "Yet he managed to help complete strangers." "I guess when he put his mind to it, he had no limitations." "Hey, mac." "Check this out." "old police band radio." "Let's see what else we can find." "Krypton is used as a low-pressure filling gas in fluorescent lighting." "Look." "Broomstick." "Looks like clark used the broomstick to break the light so no one on the outside would see him sneaking out of the hospital." "That explains why he had the krypton and glass on him." "Karate trophy." "Did he win this?" "Mr. Dox." "Clark was quite the athlete, huh?" "That's mine." "Clark liked it, so..." "I let him keep it." "You two were good friends." "Oh, everyone liked clark." "What about the man in this picture here?" "That's steve, clark's der brother." "He was in a few days ago." "Regular visitor?" "No, steve only showed up once a month." "Like clockwork." "Clark had a utine." "He'd get dressed up, pack a suitcase." "Steve promised he'd take him home one day." "He never did." "The visits always ended up in a fight." "Last one got pretty nasty." "You know where I can find steve?" "No." "We get a lot of mail stamped "return to sender."" "We stopped asking." "Thank you." "What kind of man lies to his brother?" "Hello." "Mac taylor." "Stella bonasera." " Hi." " Flash." "Thor." "The aquaman." "He doesn't like to-to talk." "Clark's dead, isn't he?" "Yes." "I'm sorry." "Clark... was... my friend." "Do you know who killed him?" "It's still under investigation." "How did you know that clark was murdered?" "He said there were enemies inside this place." "He was going to see that justice was served." "So the blood from mann's championship high school football ring comes back female." "Nothing in the database, though." "What do you got?" "Dna from the lipstick on the sandwich." "Also came back female." "The lipstick matches everything I found on the bedsheets." "The bodily fluids, the sweat." "Nothing in the database." "Let's see if we can snap these legos together, huh?" "Hmm, not a match." "Two different women." "All we have to do is find them." "All right, this is the atm footage from the night clark was murdered." " There's matthew palmer." " Mm-hmm." "Freeze that." "Can we do any better on the perp?" "Let's get a little closer." "do you know him?" "Oh, yeah." "His name's carter." "Carter england." "He's been feeding the habit with atm stickups." "And here comes our superhero." "Sounds like motive to me. ?" "I'm confused, carter." "Up till now, it's been bag snatches and stickups." "I never thought you had it in you toraduate to murder." "Murder?" "Nah, son." "You got the wrong brother." "Pull down your hood." "Take off your hat." "I want to see your pretty face." "Yo, that nutjob had it coming." "That nutjob stopped you from knifing a man at an atm for 300 bucks." "In my book, killing m for that is like killing a cop." "All I'm saying is you run around in tights and a cape trying to do good, something bad's gonna happen." "I have you on a surveillance video doing bad things, carter." "So unless you start telling me what happened in that alley, you're going away for murder." "I was there, but I didn't kill nobody, man." "The man you were robbing said the guy in the super suit took off after you." "These kicks can move crazy, you know what I'm saying?" "I ditched him." "Went on about my business." "Where'd you ?" "I was looking to go party." "Bought my ass a presiption for oxy." " You okay?" " Yeah." "Got some hillbilly heroin, huh?" "It's good to know some junkies never change." "Where'd you get it?" "I want the name of the pharmacy." "Cool that." "Cool that." "Took it to the wallman's drugs on broadway." "What about the dealer?" "White guy, middleweight, green pants, you know, hospital threads." "Got a name?" "We never had no formal introductions, son." "Now can go?" "Sure, yeah." "Officer nelson will show you to your room." "Aw, come on, flack." "I thought we were supposed to be like brothers,an." "Yeah, well, sometimes brothers fight." "Hello?" "I didn't even know tyrell mann before two days ago." "In fact, I'd never even heard of him." "Then how did you wind up on his arm in all the press photos?" "He saw me at a party." "We hit it off." "And after the party?" "We went back to his room and got to know each other better." "When I left him, he was satisfied and alive." "The bruises on your wrist suggest otherwise." "Did you have to defend yourself, charlene?" "Maybe you said no, he wasn't taking no for an answer." "You're not leaving already?" "The party's just getting started." "Get away from me!" "Baby, a 280-pound lineman can't stop me." "What you gonna do?" "you grabbed the first thing you saw." "That's not what happened." "Yeah, there was a little rough sex, but that's all." "I don't usually write my number on the chests of dead men." "Any more questions?" "No." "Just a suggestion." "Stay in town." "All the envelopes are addressed to clark's brother." "How you doing over there?" "I'm finding some similarities." "But dr." "Burr's handwriting could have been forged." "I just need more time." "Hey, guys." "The stains on the money you found in clark's drawer came back as phenylenediamine, naphtha, trimethylbenzene and a variety of color dyes." "Consistent with shoe polish." "You are good." "Oh, me and black 49 dye go way back." "In the marine corps, your shoes had to shine as brightly as your brass." "Well, I found black, brown, tan." "Makes me think steve shined shoes for a living." "If he did, I know where-- shoeshine row." "It's across the street from the address he scratched off the envelope here." "390 9th avenue." "It'she main branch of the post office." "But how did steve get his mail?" "There's no P.O. Box at that address." "You don't need one." "Window 18 accepts general deliveries for the homeless." "So steve was on the street." "Well, no wonder he couldn't take clark home." "I told clark he needed to stop pretending to be a superhero." "He wouldn't listen to me." "That why the two of you fout on your last visit?" "Clark wanted me to take him home." "I told him it wasn't time yet." "He got angry." "Did he hit you?" "No, this was mr." "Dox, the ordeY." "He saw us fighting, he nearly ripped my head off." "I don't want to stay here anymore." "I want to go home with you." "You promised." " Next time, clark." " No!" "You always say that." "I want to go home with you!" "I want to go home with you today!" "Let go of me, clark!" "I want to go home with you." "I want to go home today!" "Then what happened?" "I left, I came back to work." "You were his legal guardian." "Means all federal benefits went to you." "Yeah... $400 a month?" "Yet you only gave him $50." "We found the envelopes." "What'd you do with the other $350?" "I used to have a gambling problem." "And I still owe some money on that." "It's not like clark needed it or anything." "Look, I did the best I could." "You work five blocks from ere your brother lived, and you only went to visit him once a month?" "What do you want me to tell you?" "That I was ashamed?" "That the home that he grew up in, the one he thought he was going back to was taken by the bank five years ago?" "Detective, I live on the street." "How am I supposed to take care of my brother?" "I'm going to need you to come down and identify the body." "He wasn't always like this." "What do you mean?" "Clark was four when it happened." "My mother wasn't feeling well, and she wanted to lay down and take a nap." "She told me to look after clark." "I was ten years old." "The mice tried desperately to defend themselves." "Steve, look at me." "I can fly." "Steve." "Look at me." "I can fly." "They managed to revive him, but he was never the same." "My mom never recovered." "She threw clark in a hospital." "Pretty much drank herself to death." "I have the same thought every day" "I wish I could turn back time." "Why don't you come with me now?" "I'll take you down to the M.E.'S office." "all right, we have tyrell's trainer with possible motive." "Tyrell asked me to get him ready for the draft." "We have mystery woman number one-- charlene." "When I left him, he was satisfied and alive." "With no apparent motive, but a lot of attitude, which automatically makes her a suspect in my book." "Detectives have interviewed agents, players, coaches, an entire posse of people who only benefit if tyrell is alive and playing football." "Which leaves us with mystery woman number two who we can only identify from the blood on tyrell mann's high school ring." "And we don't have a murder weapon." "We're staring at fourth and long, montana." "Let's get something to eat." "I think better with food." "Wait a minute." "That's it-- food." "Remember the guy who worked for room service?" "Ernie albergo." "He told detectives that he came to tyrell mann's room to pick up the cart and that's when he found him." "Danny, look at these crime scene photos." "Where's the cart?" "It was rolled out of the room." "But according to the police report, not by ernie." "So, our killer rolled it out." "You know what?" "You're on to something." "The carpet is stained in this entire area here." "Yet, the padding below was heavily stained just in this one section, and I couldn't figure out why." "The cart was wheeled out just before tyrell's blood started seeping into the carpet." "And that is about the size of the wheel." "But danny, there was no blood trail from the cart." "We would have noticed it." "It didn't roll through the vic's blood." "The weight of the cart forced the fibers in the rug to bend, and the blood was able to seep through to the padding bellow." "So, the killer wheeled the cart out of the room and down the hall." "Away from tyrell mann's room where housekeeping picked it up that night." "Which is why ernie didn't see it and he went in." "But why would I kill somebody then worry about moving the room service cart out?" "Becaus you're panicked." "You want to get out of the hotel, but first you have to hide the murder weapon." "Housekeeping said if they found anything, it would be here." "You'd think they could have organized thistuff a little bit better, huh?" "Alphabetical order, maybe something." "Okay, here we go." "This is the exemplar." "The sample dr." "Burr provided us." "Notice how all the characters slant ever so slightly to the right?" "But in the question document we got off carter, all the letters are perpencular to the baseline." "Now take aook at the "ts."" "There's no pen lift in the question document." "But the "t" in dr." "Burr's sample has a horizontal initial stroke followed by a separate downstroke." "It's made with two hand motions." "So the one that carter had was definitely a forgery." "If dr." "Burr didn't write that prescription, who sold it in that alley?" "Here's your cause of death." "Diffuse axonal injury to the medulla portion of the brain." "Your superhero short-circuited from a blow to the head." "Death was instantaneous." "What kind of force would it take to cause that kind of damage?" "Didn't have to be much." "Our victim was already susceptible due to a previous head trauma." "So either your killer had significant knowledge ofuman anatomy or that was one lucky punch." "Or a karate blow." "So you're looking for soone with karate skills?" "I think we already found him mr." "Dox, the orderly." "Danny... blood from the pump came backch to tyrell mann." " Means it's confirmed as our murder weapon." " Right." "And I got nothing from afis off the prints I lifted off the air mp, but dna from the prints came back as a nondescript male also not in the system." "You're very excited right now for someone who's telling me we don't have a suspect." "I'm getting to the good stuff." "Dna from the prints off the air pump and dna from the blood that you lifted of tyrell mann's ring have one allele in common at 13 loci." "That means whoever left the fingerprints on the murder weapon is the father or son of our mystery woman whose blood was on the ring." " You got it." " Wow." "And we don't have any names." "No, but we have a starting point." "The dna on the ring was degraded." " Means it happened before tyrell mann was murdered." " Right." "So I say we start at high school when he got e ring." " Sounds good." " Great." "Danny." "Danny, there was a car accident." "That explains the knee injury." "Elaine bradford was killed." "She was 17." "An only child." "That would've been pretty hard on the parents." "It says tyrell walked away from the scene of the accident." "He didn't call for help, claimed he was disoriented and confused." "Here's a photo of elaine and tyrell at the prom." "You see the necklace she's wearing?" " Can you zoom in?" " Yeah." "Oh, she's wearing tyrell's ring around her neck." "Her personal effects would've been returned after the autopsy to her family." "To her father." "It's tragic what happened." "Sad." "I coached tyrell when he was nine years old." "Fl football team." "Fast... whoo." "we knew he had it even back then." "The last time I saw him was over a year ago." "No, mr." "Bradford, you saw him two nights ago in his hotel suite." "You killed him." "No." "Your prints, they're all over the murder weapon." "No, I just went to talk to him." "You had an argument, you grabbed the first thing you could find and you stabbed him in the neck." "He just left her there." "He was driving under the influence... and he killed my daughter." "And you know what they charged him with?" "Fleeing the scene of an accident." "He did about three weeks of community service." "They didn't want to ruin his future." "So you went to the hotel suite to get your revenge." "No." "I just went to talk to him." "I went there with good intentions." "I swear to you I did." "It's the ring you gave my daughter." "I just want to give you this, tyrell." "You know what?" "You keep it." "I don't want it." "I came all this way to give it to you." "Man, why you doing this to me today?" "Why you trying to ruin the best day of my life bringing up the past?" "That mess haunted me for four and a half years, but it's over." "It's forgotten." "Just get out of here, man." "Go." "I haven't forgotten about elaine." "I haven't forgotten about what happened." "I'm calling security to get you out of here." "I went to tell him... despite everything..." "I wished him the best." "I just didn'T... get the chance to say it." "I'm sorry about your daughter." "I got nothing to say." "All right, well, then let us do the talking." "Two nights ago, clark sees you steal dr." "Burr's prescription pad, then arrange the sale with carter england." "Clark decides he's not going to let you get away with it." "So he changes into his alter ego... but before he confronts you, he tries to stop carter from killing an innocent man." "sounds exciting." "I wish I was there." "So you're lling me that you weren't in the 64th street alley two nights ago?" "Nowhere near it." "I want to believe you, mr." "Dox, I really do." "Now detectives taylo er they definitely don't believe you." "They're all about science, and they've got a lot of stuff that tells us that you're our killer." "Me?" "I'm old school." "So I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt by putting you in a lineup." "Thank you." "Before your lineup, mr." "Dox, maybe you can explain to us why your handwriting matches perfectly with the prescription that was sold in the alley that you weren't in two nights ago." "Here." "See for yourself." "Notice how there's no pen lift on your "t"?" "There isn't one here either." "The prescription's a good forgery." "not good enough." "You remember carter england, don't you?" "Clark was your friend." "He was a retard." "I got paid to pretend I cared." "So you had no problem killing him." "Said he was going to turn me in." "I was gonna knock some sense into him,you know, give him a little beat down." "Stop right there." "Don't make me hurt you." "Clark, what are you doing here?" "Clark!" "What the hell you think you're doing?" "Who the hell did he think he was?" "Was just a man in a phony yellow cape." "Put this guy in the cage." "Let's go." "I wish you could've met clark." "You would've liked him." "I'm sure I would have." "You know that money that i brought him althose years?" "He never spent any of it." "You know, I can't help but think that he knew that I was going to need it one day." "That's what superheroes do, they come to the rescue." "Good luck, steve." "Thank you." "mac taylor."

"Good evening, child." "Evening, Mama." "Home already?" "I'm so happy." "Not so fast." "Please." "Leave me be." "I'm tired." "I can quite believe it." "Your last pupil left 3 hours ago." "Might I know where you've been all this time?" "Please." "No, you don't." "Not until you tell me!" "I went for a walk." "Do you mind?" "I spent 8 hours in my cage." "I was tired and needed some air." " For three hours?" " Absolutely!" "Magnificent." "Just as I thought." "Where's the bankbook?" "1 0,000 Schillings!" "Tell me, have you lost your mind?" "Where's my grey Autumn suit?" "No idea." "Give that back." "Bitch!" "I remember that talk show." "The guy advocated fines for dog owners whose dogs crap in the street." "Bullshit." "The creep was defending the idea that women are inferior to men." "Rubbish." "If you'd let me get a word in..." "Who rattled your cage!" "Should cut your hands off." "Beating your own mother!" "That frock was far too gaudy anyway." "At your age, you should know what suits you." "Can't you stop, you cow?" "Wasn't ruining that enough for you?" " I wish..." " What?" "You dare n't say it?" "Don't bother." "I know what you wish." "I could have had a heart attack from the agitation." "If that's what you want, go ahead!" "Stop it, Mama, you don't know what you're saying." "There's a real hole here." "Here, too." "Sorry." "But why do you do these things?" "Why do you do these things?" "I'm sorry." "Truly sorry." "Let me look." "Never mind that." "That's how it is." "We're a hot-blooded family." "Come on, stop crying." "I'll make some coffee." "We'll have a cup together." "Okay?" "Nothing in life comes free." "You'll just have to give more private lessons." "Your vanity must not stop us buying our apartment." "You can't contradict me there." "I paid this month's instalment long ago, don't worry." "In any case, the dress only cost 6,500." "I'll pay the remainder back in tomorrow." "I don't understand why someone of your standing slaps make-up on and fritters money away on frocks that will soon be out of fashion." "I'd be wearing that dress for years." "The cut was so classical." "It was ageless." "If memory serves me right, you used to have a dress just like it." "Remember?" "You must be dreaming." "It was a designer label." "The finishing was remarkable." "It would have lasted forever." "Do you still need the light?" "Did they really annoy you today?" "No more than usual." "Did you have the Schober girl?" "lsn't Friday her day?" "Well?" "She's not untalented." "She has a surprising affinity for Schubert." "Schubert's your department, don't forget." "That's not for you to say." "You're hardly a judge of what is my department musically." "If you want your pupils to have a career instead of you..." "No one must surpass you, my girl." "Don't be dizzy..." "Don't worry, Mama." "THE PIANO TEACHER" "A little less pedal wouldn't go amiss." "It's not enough just to take your foot off."

"A wrong note in Beethoven is better than bad interpretation." "You play only phrases." "Ignore the structure and you'll ruin the sonata." "Back to the top of the page." "I guessed you were for the recital." "Allow me to introduce..." "Professor, please, do come in." "Hello, Auntie." "And your mother." "Good evening." "You've met my nephew?" "I was about to introduce myself." "My name's Walter Klemmer." "At the risk of seeming prosaic, after sampling spiritual nourishment of such quality," "I've organised, for the interval, a buffet to sustain the artists and, I hope, for your pleasure, too." "Through here." "My husband's very particular..." "Excuse me, Auntie." "Sorry to interrupt but I can't wait." "I hope it's not too forward of me to kiss the hand that plays such Bach." "You can stop now." "Where do you get such unfashionable enthusiasm?" "I'm delighted the tradition of recitals lives on." "It was practically extinct." "The masters die, then their music." "People today only ever listen to pop or rock." "You're right." "Families like this are no more." "Generations of laryngologists toiled over Beethoven's last quartets." "Now, at best, academics stamp their feet in time to the trumpety-trumps of Bruckner." "Disdaining Bruckner is immature," "Mr..." "Klemmer?" "Tell me, what enables you to talk about music so precociously?" "Your Aunt said you studied..." "Low voltage, professor." "Low voltage." "It was made between 1 620 and 1 630 by Marcel Pichler." "From Hallein." "A rare piece." "It is played" "like a cello." "Its common name is leg viol or quinton." "Recently, I found a painting that exactly shows this instrument." "Not this type of instrument." "I mean, specifically this instrument." "The painting depicts a concert of viole da gamba at the court of Duke Augustus von Braunschweig-Wolfenbuttel." " Can I fetch you something?" " Not at all." "Why?" "It's fascinating." "Look at them." "Do they give a fig about the benefits of illness?" "Have you read Adorno on Schumann's Fantasia in C Major?" "He talks of his twilight." "It's not Schumann bereft of reason, but just before." "A fraction before." "He knows he's losing his mind." "It torments him but he clings on, one last time." "It's being aware of what it means to lose oneself before being completely abandoned." "I'd say you are a good teacher." "Thank you." "You talk about things as if they were yours." "It's rare." "And I think you know it." "Schubert and Schumann are my favourites, that's all." "Since my father died completely mad in Steinhof asylum," "I can talk easily about the twilight of the mind, can't I?" "If you'd really prefer not to eat, perhaps you'd care for a drink of something?" "Go ahead." "I had to sing for my supper." "Dr. Blonsky with his instrument fetish is such a bore."

"No, seriously, I think it wasn't too bad." "He just put "private lessons"." "That's even more remarkable." "I don't know how seriously he takes his engineering but for someone whose priority is not the piano, bravo." "It's amazing." "I quite agree." "He truly is very talented." "Ladies?" "Gentlemen?" " I vote for." " Yes, me too." "No doubt about it." "What do you say?" "Your opinion counts most." "He's applying to join your class." "After such euphoria, it's hard to voice reservations." "I can't say I totally share your enthusiasm." "Clearly he doesn't lack talent but I wonder, and I ask you, what does he expect from us?" "For a professional career, he's too old." "By accepting him, we'll reject a more motivated student." "And, frankly, I find his histrionics suspicious or even unpleasant." "I don't see what you mean."

"Probably due to the images lodged in your mind." "You have one approach for Bach, Beethoven and the others." "What made you want to study music?" "Your meagre talent?" "I assure you it's not worth it." "Take a job playing in a strip joint and stop wasting my time." "What?" " I'm sorry." " What for?" "For earlier..." "At the newsagents." "Why?" "Why are you sorry?" "What for?" "It doesn't work like that." "Sorry isn't enough, if I don't know why." "Are you sorry because you're a pig?" "Or because your friends are pigs?" "Or because all women are bitches for making you a pig?" "Or just because you got caught?" "The lesson is ended." "I propose your mother comes to see me." "Maybe she can shed some light on this." "Well?" "What are you sorry for?" "I'm listening." "The silence is deafening." "See you next time, along with your mother." "Now, please remove yourself." "I'll need my break to recover." "Goodbye."

"What have you brought?" "You should forget Schubert." " Schonberg is all..." " I fought to win your attention." "Give me a chance." "I know you're not as indifferent as you pretend." "I neglected my studies for you." "It's the truth!" "You may think it's ridiculous, but since the recital at the Blonskys," "I've had you stuck in my mind like a nut on a bolt." "I apologise for being so technical." "I never intended to apply here." "Stop lying, it won't wash." "I'm not lying." "For next time, find a copy of Opus 1 9." "Let's talk first."

"Either you play or my migraine will end this lesson." "It's bound to finish late." "Today's our first Mendelssohn rehearsal." "So, don't call up every 5 minutes." "It's embarrassing." "Viora of the Philharmonic's coming." "He'll think I'm a little girl." "Is that clear?" "If it ends late, take a taxi." "I adore lying in the name of love." "I'm so happy for you." "If she calls after 10, don't answer." "Is that okay?" "It will be a pleasure." "Good evening, this is Mrs. Kohut." "May I speak to my daughter?" "What's wrong?" "What the...?" "Shit!" "Stay there!" "Stay there, cunt!" "Are you crazy or something?" "Your father died this afternoon." "Above all, keep calm." "It's so inconsiderate of you!" "Think of the consequences!"

"If you think..." "Wait." "I won't move, I promise." "I won't say a word." "You will receive my instructions." "By letter." "Or face to face." "Or maybe over the phone." "Now, you can put it away." "Facing me." "How about a little smile?" "Go on." "Don't be so serious, pretty lady." "Next time, we'll do much better." "I promise." "Practice will make you perfect." "At least 2 months, with no guarantee of complete recovery." "That's terrible." "And she really was quite good." "She has the nerve." "She played amazingly yesterday despite nearly not making it." "Pull yourself together." "You're no use to Anna if you break down like that." "For the moment, we must wait." "She mustn't neglect her left hand." "That's always her weak point." "Also, she'll be scarred for life." "Just imagine." "A pianist with a disfigured hand." "She's hardly attractive." "Her only attribute was her talent." "That's why we sacrificed everything." "She sacrificed everything." "Sorry?" "You said "we"." "It's Anna who sacrificed everything." "Yes, naturally." "Who would do such a thing?" "The police say it must have been another student acting out of jealousy." "Can you imagine it?" "Being so evil?" "She's always been a loner." "She hardly has any friends." "They'll find the man who did it." "He deserves his hands chopping off." "My next lesson is waiting." "I'll have to ask you to leave." "Tell Anna she's welcome to drop in when she's better." "Remind her about her left hand." "I'll tell her." "Thank you very much." "She'll come by." "She admires you so much." "Chin up, Mrs. Schober." "Who will replace Anna for the concert?" "No one." "No student could at such short notice." "I've been asked to stand in for the singer's sake." "That's very good." "Anna will be pleased." "Stop." "Back to the beginning." "You gladly ignore the dynamics." "What does it say?" " Piano." " Exactly." "And then?" "Forte-piano." "And then?" "Pianissimo." "And diminuendo and mezzo-forte, forte, fortissimo, sforzatissimo." "Schubert's dynamics range from scream to whisper not loud to soft." "Anarchy hardly seems your forte." "Why not stick to Clementi?" "Schubert was quite ugly." "Did you know?" "With your looks, nothing can ever hurt you." "Why destroy what could bring us together?" " Mannerism is no..." " Why can't I look at you?" "Because if I do, I won't resist the temptation to kiss you on the neck." "May I kiss you on the neck?" "Can I get you a glass of water?" "Thanks." "When can I see you?" "Let's call each other." "Let's go away this weekend." "Just you and I." "I can't, I'm going out with my mother." "Cancel." "Forget your mother." "Think of us." "We must make up for lost time." "Do you mean me?" "I must make up for lost time?" "Darling!" "Stop always thinking of others, your mother, your scruples..." "You talk of anarchy but sacrifice love to be with Mama." "Let yourself go." "Allow yourself feelings for once." "Don't be such a leech." "You cough because you're uptight." "I have no feelings." "Get that into your head." "If ever I do, they won't defeat my intelligence." "I love you." "Don't be so cowardly." "Is what you've written just as cowardly?" "Don't touch it!" "Not now." "I want you to read it alone." "Now, get stuck in to Schubert." "That's all you may do in this room." "Piano." "Brahms would say:" ""Con intimissimo sentimento."" "Are you mad?" "What are you doing?" "I followed you." "I said we'd speak on the phone." "You can't drive me crazy like that and then run off." "Drive you crazy?" "Let's go somewhere where we can talk in private." "Did you read the letter?" "I don't want any letters." "I want us to talk!" "I advise you to leave now." "Never hound the woman you claim to love." "You should know that, even at your age." "If you value my affection, go." "I'll call you tomorrow to fix a date." "Okay?" " Take your hat off." " What?" "Good evening." "I have matters to discuss with Mr. Klemmer." "What's that supposed to mean?" "We won't bother you." "We'll talk in my room." "Come on." "Excuse me." "If you try to come in, you'll be sorry." "There's no food in." "I didn't expect visitors." "Don't put yourself out, I've already eaten." "First, read the letter." "You've still got it?" "So, read it now, please." "Do you want to finish me off?" "I said I don't want to read any letters." "I'm here, you're here." "We're made of flesh and blood." "Don't be so scared." "I'm not." "I want all you want." "But read it first." "Is that why we barricaded the door?" "Perhaps." "Please!" "I don't know how much longer I want to play this game." "Heavy." "Sit down there, please." ""On the contrary, if I beg, tighten my bonds, please." ""Adjust the belt by at least 2 or 3 holes." ""The tighter the better." ""Then, gag me with some stockings I will have ready." ""Stuff them in so hard that I'm incapable..." ""of making any sound." ""Next, take off the blindfold, please," ""and sit down on my face" ""and punch me in the stomach" ""to force me to thrust my tongue in your behind."" "Is this supposed to be serious?" "You're making fun of me, aren't you?" "You want a slap?" ""For that is my dearest wish." ""Hands and feet tied behind my back" ""and locked up next door to my mother" ""but out of her reach behind my bedroom door," ""till the next morning." ""Don't worry about my mother, she's my problem." ""Take all the door keys with you from the apartment." ""Don't leave a single one here."" "What will all this open up for me?" "Maybe you'd open your cultured mouth and comment on this shit." ""If you catch me disobeying any of your orders," ""hit me, please," ""even with the back of your hand on my face." ""Ask me why I don't cry out to mother" ""or why I don't fight back." ""Above all, say things like that," ""so that I realise just how powerless I am."" "What's going on in there?" "Open up!" "Move that chest." "Don't you want to let her in?" "Do you want me to hit you in front of her?" "Calm down!" "Be quiet and watch the TV!" "Open up or you'll be sorry." "Stop making a fuss!" "Incredible!" "Do you have no sense of decency?" "Invading people's homes like this." "The sheer nerve of it!" "Are you angry with me?" "I hope you're not." "It's not very well written, I know." "I'm a pianist, not a poet." "After all, love is built on banal things." "Think it over." "You have my phone number." "Like I said, I want everything you want." "I have all we need." "But it can wait till tomorrow." "Aren't you talking to me?" "Do I disgust you?" "That's not necessary." "The urge to be beaten has been in me for years." "I waited for you, you know?" "It's not a joke, all I wrote." "You know that." "From now on, you give the orders." "From now on, you choose what I am to wear." "What colour do you prefer?" "You never said." "You're not talking to me?" "You're angry?" "Say something then." "You're sick." "You need treatment." "If you want to hit me, hit me." "I don't want to soil my hands." "No one would touch your sort, even with gloves on." "I swear I loved you." "You don't even know what it is." "Right now, you repulse me." "Fuck it." "...came to North America with the Spanish." "Left to roam free, they became the famous Mustang." "Today's cowboys'most loyal companion is the quarterhorse." "Very fast overshort distances and with good stamina..." "You really are quite shameless." "What have you done with him?" "Is he still in your room?" "It wouldn't surprise me." "Nothing surprises me any more." "But you can do what you want." "At your age." "Good Lord." "All those sacrifices for this." "That's what you get in reward." "You carry on like that." "You can set up a bordello here." "Who cares what the neighbours think!" "As always, you do as you like!" "I love you." "Stop that!" "Have you gone insane?" "Don't be so filthy, you're out of your mind!" "Shut up." "I love you." "I love you, too." "But stop this now." "You're mad!" "You're mad." "You're completely mad." "Go to sleep now." "You're going to need all your energy." "Even if you're just standing in, you must be well prepared." "You never know who might be in the audience." "I saw the hairs on your sex." "Can I have a word?" "Someone to see you." "Is that your little sister?" "Don't run away, he's coming." " What do you want?" " Speak to you." "I'm listening." "Not here, I can't." "Over there." "How did you manage to find me?" "Just there." "Go on in." "Forgive me for the letter." "I'm an idiot." "I shouldn't have done that to you out of the blue." "Like you said, we should have talked first." "Forgive me." "What are you doing?" "Stop it." "Get up now." "Come on." "Come on top of me." " You want me, don't you?" " You're mad." "Come on." "I love you." "I'll never write anything you don't want." "You tell me what you want, okay?" "Someone might come in." "You're being ridiculous." "Get up." "Hang on, let me do it." "Let me do it, I said." "I can't, not here." "Stop it." "I can't." " It doesn't matter." " I can't do it here." "I know you want to protect us, but I don't care if people catch us." "I don't care." "I love you." "I love you, too." "Come on." "You have to help me." " I don't believe it." " I'm sorry." "Don't look." "Don't look." "I must really disgust you." " No woman ever puked it back." " Sorry." "I don't know what happened." "I'm clean." "I'm all clean." "Like a baby." "Inside as well as outside." "For you and thanks to you, darling." "Do you like me calling you darling?" "It's absolutely marvellous." "You must be patient." "I'll give you all the names, we'll play all the games you want." "You know you really stink?" "Sorry, you stink so much, no one will ever come close to you." "You'd better leave town until you don't stink so bad." "Rinse your mouth more often, not just when my cock makes you puke." "Who is it?" "Open up." " Open up now!" " What do you want?" "I said, open the door!" "Quiet!" "You'll wake the whole building." "I'm opening it." "Don't do that again, okay?" " What do you mean?" " Shut up, you sad cow!" "Just then," "I was under your window and I was jerking off." "That's what you want, huh?" "You want to..." "Is that it?" "You're a witch, a pervert!" "You want to give everyone your illness, don't you?" " Not me!" " I did apologise." "Fuck your stupid apologies!" "Wasn't last night enough for you?" "Will you make this a habit?" "Screaming the house down." "Go back to bed!" "Walter, please." " Get out!" " Be off with you!" "Now!" "Not as you imagined?" "We'll see about this." "The police will put a stop to this." "This is nothing to do with you." "Forget your mother." "We have time." "We have all night." "Let's pick up where we left off." "Is this really what you had imagined?" "What then?" "You'll be sorry." "Just because we're women doesn't mean you'll get away with it." "Let me go." "This is unbelievable!" "At least this one has a key." "Open up!" "How about one for your daughter's room?" "That's that dealt with." ""As for my mother, pay no attention to her." Yes?" "Am I quoting you exactly?" ""Give me lots of slaps, darling." ""Hit me hard..." No." ""Hit me around the face and hit me hard."" "At your service, dear lady." "Is that what you want?" "Stop, please." "What then?" "Not that." "Stop, I beg you." "What are you doing?" " Shut it or I kill her!" " Murderer!" "Stop." " Where's the water?" " In the kitchen." "Don't think you'll get me going... by flashing your pathetic body." "You know," "I do realise that all this isn't very nice of me." "But if you're honest, you'll admit you're partly responsible." "I mean, it's true..." "Yes or no?" "Yes." "Am I right?" "Yes, Walter." " Are you okay?" " I'm okay." "You can't get a guy going, then take refuge on the ice." "Not my face!" "Not my hands!" "Murderer!" "Aren't you ashamed?" "I'm begging you to stop." "Don't touch my daughter." "Leave my daughter alone." "I'm begging you." "Why do you do that?" "I calm down and you try to cross me." "Be a little cooperative, fuck it." "I'd be happy to learn to play." "But not if we only ever play by your rules." "You can't delve around inside people, then reject them." "Be nice to me, please." "You can't let me go just like that." "Stop, please." "You have to give a bit." "You can't leave me all alone now." "Love me, please." "Are you trying to tell me I should go?" "I'd appreciate it if you tell no one." "Anyhow, it's for your own good." "You can't humiliate a man that way and..." "It's not possible." "Will you be alright?" "Do you need anything?" "Okay?" "You know, love isn't everything." "See you, then." "Has he gone?" "Say something." "Has he gone?" "Open the door." "What's wrong?" "Talk to me, for God's sake." "Oh my God, child!" "What a state you're in!" "What did the bastard do to you?" "Hurry, we'll miss the tram." "I'm just having a glass of water." "Don't be so nervous." "It's only to replace someone." "I'm so looking forward to your Schubert." "I think I should go and take my seat." "It begins in 8 minutes." "I'll come up with you." "Good evening, I'm delighted to see you here." "What about our convalescent?" "She doesn't lack courage." "She insisted on coming tonight." "To hear you play." "How are you feeling?" "Sorry, let me introduce myself." "I'm Mrs. Schober." "My daughter, Anna." "This is my mother." "Lovely to meet you." "You must be very proud of your daughter." "Why?" "It's a school concert." "She's standing in for a pupil." "That pupil is my daughter." "Where are you sitting?" "Not far from us." "It's late." "We'd better go." "Can we go up together?" "Are you coming, Anna?" "See you later." "I'll go up with Mrs. Schober." "Break a leg." "Enjoy the concert." "Goodbye, it was a pleasure to see you." "There, now..." "What a nice surprise!" "George!" "Look who's here." " Professor Kohut." " My respects." "Hurry up, Gerda." "Give me your coat." "I'll keep it with me." "Men!" "Always rushing you." "You know how it is." "Have an excellent evening." "Come on!" "See you later, I hope." "My respects, Professor." "I can't wait to hear you play."

"Copy boy!" " Make it snappy." " Where's the rest of this story?" "Morning Post." "City desk?" "Just a moment and I'll connect you." "If anybody asks for me, I'm down at the courthouse." " Elevator!" " Going down." " Hello, Hildy." " Hi, Skinny." "Hello, Ruth, Maisie." " Is the lord of the universe in?" " Yes, in a bad humor." "Somebody must've stolen the crown jewel." " Shall we announce you?" " I'll blow my own horn." "Bruce, wait here." "I'll be back in ten minutes." "Even ten minutes is a long time to be away from you." "What did you say?" "Go on." "Well, go ahead." "I just said, "Even ten minutes is a long time to be away from you"." "I heard you." "I like it." "That's why I asked you to say it again." "I like being spoiled." "The man I'm going in to see did little spoiling." "I'd like to spoil him." "Want me to go with you?" " I can handle it." " Lf it gets rough, I'm here." "I'll come running, partner." " Hello, Jim." " Hello, Hildy!" " How are you?" " Welcome back." "Hello, Hildy, how have you been?" "Beatrice, how's "Advice to the Lovelorn"?" " Fine." "My cat had kittens again." " Your own fault." "Glad to see you." "Hi, Jim." "Mildred, you still around?" "A little more around the chin, boss." "What do you want?" "Your ex-wife is here." "Hello, Hildy." "Hello, Walter." "Hello, Louie." "How's the big slot machine king?" "I ain't doing that no more." "I'm retired." "You know what I mean?" " Walter." " I'm busy!" "The governor didn't sign that reprieve." "Tomorrow, Earl Williams dies and makes a sucker out of us." "What are you going to do?" " Phone the governor." " I can't." " Why not?" " He's out fishing." " How many places are there?" " At least two, Atlantic and Pacific." "That simplifies it, doesn't it?" " Get him on the phone." " And say what?" "Quiet, Duffy." "He's thinking." "Tell him if he reprieves Earl Williams, we'll support him for senator." "Tell him the Morning Post will be behind him." " You can't do that." " Why not?" "We've been a Democratic paper for over 20 years." "After we get the reprieve, we'll be Democratic again." "Go on, Duffy, get going." "The Morning Post expects every editor to do his duty." "You too, Louie." "Get out of here." "Well, Walter, I see you're still at it." "First time I double-crossed a governor." "What can I do for you?" "Would you mind if I sat down?" "There's a lamp burning in the window for you." "Here." "I jumped out of that window a long time ago, Walter." "May I have one of those?" "Thank you." "And a match?" "Thank you." " How long is it?" " How long is what?" "You know what." "How long is it since we've seen each other?" "Well, let's see." "I spent six weeks in Reno, then Bermuda." "About four months." "Seems like yesterday to me." "Maybe it was yesterday, Hildy." "Been seeing me in your dreams?" "Mama doesn't dream about you." "You wouldn't know her now." "Yes, I would." "I'd know you anytime." "Any place, anywhere." "You're repeating yourself." "You said that the night you proposed." "You still remember it." "If I didn't remember it, I wouldn't have divorced you." "I sort of wish you hadn't." " What?" " Divorced me." "It makes a fellow lose faith in himself." "It gives him a feeling he wasn't wanted." "Junior, that's what divorces are for." "Nonsense, you've got an old-fashioned idea divorces last forever." ""Till death do us part"." "Divorce doesn't mean anything nowadays." "Just a few words mumbled over you by a judge." "We've got something between us nothing can change." " I suppose you're right in a way." " Sure, I'm right." " I am fond of you, you know." " Thattagirl!" "I often wish you weren't such a stinker." "You must meet my mother." "She'd like that phrase." "Then why'd you promise not to fight the divorce and then gum up the works?" "I meant to let you go, but you know you never miss the water till the well runs dry." "A big lummox like you, hiring an airplane to write:" ""Hildy, don't be hasty." "Remember my dimple." "Walter"." "It delayed our divorce while the judge watched it." "Not to brag, but I've still got the dimple, and in the same place." "I acted like any husband who didn't want to see his home broken up." " What home?" " Remember the home I promised you?" "Sure I do." "The one we were to have right after the honeymoon." "That honeymoon!" "Was it my fault?" "Did I know that coal mine would have a cave-in?" "I intended to be with you on our honeymoon." "Instead of two weeks in Atlantic City with my bridegroom I spent two weeks in a coal mine with John Kruptzky." "You don't deny it?" "No." "We beat the whole country on that story!" "Suppose we did!" "That isn't what I got married for!" "What is the good?" "Look, Walter." "I came to tell you to stop phoning me a dozen times a day sending me 20 telegrams..." "I write a beautiful telegram, don't I?" "Are you going to listen?" "What's the use of fighting?" "I'll tell you what you do." "Come back to work on the paper, and if we can't get along we'll get married again." " What?" " Sure, I haven't any hard feelings." "Walter, you're wonderful in a loathsome sort of way." " Be quiet so I can say what I have to." " Tell me over lunch." "I have a lunch date." " Break it." " I can't." "Hands off!" "Are you playing osteopath?" "Temper, temper." "You are no longer my husband and no longer my boss." "And you won't be my boss." " What does that mean?" " Just what I say." "You're not coming back to work?" "You're right for the first time today." " Got a better offer?" " You bet!" "Work for somebody else!" "That's the gratitude I get." "Stop hamming." "Five years ago, you were a college girl." "I took a doll-faced hick!" "You wouldn't have if I wasn't doll-faced." "It was a novelty to have a face to look at without shuddering." "I made you a great reporter." "You won't be as good on any other paper." "We're a team." "The paper needs both of us!" "Sold American!" " All right, go ahead." " Listen, Walter, please." "The paper's going to have to get along without me." "So will you." "It didn't work out." "It would have worked if you'd been satisfied as editor and reporter." "You had to marry me and spoil everything." "I wasn't satisfied?" "I suppose I proposed to you!" "Practically!" "Making eyes at me until I broke down." ""Oh, Walter!" I was tight when I proposed to you." "If you'd been a gentleman, you'd have forgotten about it." "You used to pitch better than that." "Hello." "What?" "Sweeney?" "What can I do for you?" "What?" "Wait a minute." "I'm not Sweeney." "I'm Duffy." "Sweeney, you can't do that to me." "Not today, of all days!" "What's the matter with you?" "Are you a loony?" "Now, listen, Sweeney." "This is no time..." "All right, I suppose so." "If you have to, you have to." " He had to." " Everything happens to me." "365 days in a year, and this has to be the day." "What's wrong?" " Sweeney." " Dead?" "He might as well be." "He picks today to have a baby!" "Not on purpose?" "He's supposed to cover the Earl Williams case, and where is he?" "Walking up and down in a hospital." "Is there no honor?" "Haven't you got anybody else?" "Nobody else on the paper can write." "This'll break me." "Unless..." "Hildy!" " You've got to help me." " Not a chance, Walter." "Get out of here, Duffy!" "Save your breath." "This'll bring us back together again." "That's what I'm afraid of." "This is bigger than anything else." "Do it for the paper." "Scram, Svengali." "If you won't do it for love, how about money?" "I'll raise you $25 a week." "Listen to me, you baboon..." "I'll make it $35 and not a cent more." "Listen!" "How much will the other paper pay?" "There's no other paper." "Then the raise is off." "You go back to your old salary." "Trying to blackjack me." " I'm busy." " Take a good look at it." "Do you know what it is?" "It's an engagement ring." "Engagement ring?" "I tried to tell you right away but you would start reminiscing." "I'm getting married, and I'm getting as far away from the newspaper business as I can get." "I'm through." " You can get married, but not quit." " No?" "Why not?" "I know what quitting would mean." " What?" " It would kill you." " You can't sell me that." " You're a newspaperman." "I want to go someplace where I can be a woman." " You mean, be a traitor." " A traitor to what?" "To journalism." "You're a journalist!" "A journalist?" "What does that mean?" "Peeking through keyholes, chasing fire engines waking people up in the night to ask questions stealing pictures off old ladies?" "I know all about reporters." "Buttinskies running around with no money, and for what?" "So a million people will know what's going on." "Why, I..." "What's the use?" "Walter, you wouldn't know what it means to want to be respectable and live a halfway normal life." "The point is, I'm through." "Where did you meet this man?" "Bermuda." "Rich?" "He's not what you'd call rich." "He makes about $5000 a year." " What's his line?" " He's in the insurance business." "Insurance business?" "That's a good honest business." "Sure, it's honest." "It's also adventurous, romantic." "I can't picture you being surrounded by policies..." "I can, and I like it, what's more." "Besides, he forgets the office when he's with me." "He doesn't treat me like an errand boy." "He treats me like a woman." "He does?" "How did I treat you?" "Like a water buffalo?" "I don't know from buffaloes, but I do know about him." "He's kind, he's sweet, and he's considerate." "He wants a home and children." "Sounds like a guy I ought to marry." "What's his name?" "Baldwin." "Bruce Baldwin." "I knew a Baldwin once, a horse thief." "Couldn't be the same fellow, could it?" "You are not talking about the man I'm marrying tomorrow." "Tomorrow?" "As soon as that?" "At last, I got out what I came up here to tell you." "Guess there isn't any more to the story." "So long, Walter." "So long, Hildy." "Better luck to you next time." "Thanks." "Well, you kind of took the wind out of my sail." "I just want to wish you everything I couldn't give you." "This other fellow." "I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to see him." "I'm particular about whom my wife marries." "Where is he?" "He's right on the job, waiting for me out there." "Do you mind if I meet him?" " It wouldn't do any good." " You're not afraid, are you?" "Of course not." "Let's see this paragon." "Is he as good as you say?" "He's better." " Then what does he want with you?" " You got me." "Back in an hour, Mildred." "I am sorry, Hildy." "I suppose Bruce..." "What's his name?" "I suppose he opens doors for you?" "And with a lady, he takes his hat off." "I am sorry." "When he walks with a lady, he waits for her." "In that case..." "Allow me." "I can see my wife picked out the right husband for herself." "There must be some mistake." "I'm already married." "Already married?" "You should have told me." "Congratulations again, Mr. Baldwin." " No, my name..." " Mr. Burns." "I'm terribly busy." "What did you say, Mr. Baldwin?" " Mr. Burns." " My name is..." "I'm busy with Mr. Baldwin." "I didn't hear what you said, sir." " My name is..." " Mr. Burns..." " What is it with you?" " I'm Bruce Baldwin." "Can't you see that I'm..." "You're Bruce Baldwin!" "Well, who is he?" "Who are you?" "My name's Pete Davis." "Mr. Davis, is this any concern of yours?" "From now on, keep your nose out of my affairs." "Don't let it happen again." "I'm terribly sorry about this mistake." "This is indeed a pleasure." "That's wrong, isn't it?" "Bruce..." "do you mind if I call you Bruce?" " We're almost related." " No, not at all." "You see, my wife..." "That is, your wife." "Hildy, you led me to expect you were marrying a much older man." "What did I say?" "Don't worry about it." "I realize you didn't mean old in years." " Do you always carry an umbrella?" " It looked cloudy this morning." "That's right." "Rubbers too, I hope." "Thattaboy!" "A man ought to be prepared." "We'd better run along." " We'd better go." " Where are we going?" "I'm taking you two to lunch." "Didn't you tell him?" "No, she didn't." "I guess she just wanted to surprise you, Bruce." "After you, Hildy." "You're wasting your time." "No, I'm glad to do it." "Hello, Gus." "It's Hildy!" "It's none other." "How are things?" "I can't complain." "I can." "I'm hungry." "A roast beef sandwich..." " Sorry." " ...on white bread." "Over there, Bruce." " And you, Hildy?" " I'll have the same." " And you, sir?" " Yes, that's all right for me." "Bring some mustard too, Gus." "So you two are going to get married?" " How does it feel, Bruce?" " It feels awful good." "You're getting a great girl." "I realize that." "Things have been different since I met Hildy." "I've never met anyone quite like her." "Everybody else I've ever known you could always tell ahead of time what they would say or do." "But Hildy's not like that." "You can't tell that about her." "That's nice." "You're getting something else too:" "A great newspaperman." "No orchids, Walter." "One of the best I ever knew." "Sorry to see her go." "Darn sorry." "I'd like to believe you." "I mean it." "If you ever want to come back..." "Which I won't." "In spite of everything, there's only one man I'd work for." "I'd kill you if you worked for anybody else." "Hear that?" "That's my diploma." "It must be quite a business if it's..." "Are you sure you want to quit?" "What do you mean?" "If there is any doubt about it or if there's anything..." "No, this is your chance to have a home and to be, like you said, a human being." "I'll make you take that chance." "Certainly." "Why, I wouldn't let her stay." "She deserves all this happiness." "All the things I couldn't give her." "All she ever wanted was a home." "I'll certainly try." "I know you will, Bruce." " Where will you live?" " Albany." " Got a family up there?" " Just my mother." "Just your mother." "You're going to live with her?" "Just for the first year." "That will be nice." "Yes, a home with mother, in Albany too." "Mighty nice little town." "It's the state capital." "I know." "We were there once." "Will you ever forget the night you brought the governor to the hotel?" "You see, I was in taking a bath." "Well, I came walking out without..." "She didn't know I was in town." "Bruce, how is business up there?" "Any better?" "Albany's a mighty good insurance town." "Most people take it out pretty early in life." "I can see why they would." "Statistics show that most of..." "I've got a feeling I ought to have taken out a little insurance." "That really doesn't matter now that Hildy and I have well, you know, we've..." "Does it?" "What do you think?" "It might have been a good idea if I had taken out insurance." "I honestly feel that way." "I'm in one business that really helps people." "Of course, we don't help you much while you're alive, but afterward." " That's what counts." " Sure." "I don't get it." "Nice going." "So sorry, Gus." "My foot must have slipped." "That's all right." "What would you like to drink?" "Coffee." " Shall I put some rum in the coffee?" " Sure." "Me too, Gus, please." " Not for me." " Go on, Bruce." "I have a lot to do." "I have to buy the tickets, check the baggage..." "Do it tomorrow." "We're leaving today at four o'clock, taking the sleeper for Albany." "You're leaving today at four o'clock?" " That's only two hours." " That's not much time." "I've got a lot to do." "I want to..." "Isn't that silly?" "All down over my front." " That's nothing new." "Here." " Never mind, I'll get Gus." "Gus, do something about this, will you?" "Call me to the telephone when I get back to the table." "Thanks, Gus, that's fine." "I'm terribly sorry about that." "That was silly, wasn't it?" "Let me get that straight." "I must have misunderstood you." "You're taking the sleeper today, then getting married tomorrow?" "Well, it's not like that." "What is it like?" "Poor Walter." "He'll toss and turn all night." "Perhaps we'd better tell him." "Mother's coming too." "Your mother kicked the bucket..." "No, my mother." "Your mother?" "Well, that relieves my mind." "It was cruel to let you suffer so." "Isn't Walter sweet?" "Always wanting to protect me." "I admit I wasn't much of a husband, but you can always count on me." "I don't think she'll need you much." "I aim to do the protecting myself." "Mr. Burns, telephone." "For me?" "That's strange." "Pardon me." "He's not such a bad fellow." "No, he should make some girl real happy." "Slaphappy." "He's not the man for you." "I can see that." "But I sort of like him." "He's got charm." "He comes by it naturally." "His grandfather was a snake." "Hello?" "Duffy, listen." "Any way we can stop the 4:00 train to Albany from leaving?" " We might dynamite it." " Could we?" "Maybe we couldn't." "All right, get this." "Send Sweeney out of town on two weeks' vacation right away." "Keep your shirt on." "Hildy's coming back." "She doesn't know it yet, but she's staying." "Tell Louie to stick around the office." "I may need him." "Goodbye." "Thanks, Gus." " This is bad business." " What's the matter?" "The Earl Williams case." "I've been reading about that." "It's pretty bad." " What is the lowdown on it?" " Simple, honey." "Poor little dope lost his job, went berserk and shot a cop who was coming to quiet him down." "They'll hang him tomorrow." "What a shame." "Your paper has been taking his side." "If he was out of his mind, why doesn't the state just put him away?" "Because it was a colored policeman." "You know what that means." "The colored vote's important." "Especially with an election in three or four days." "That mayor would hang his grandmother to be reelected." "You could show the man wasn't responsible." "That's not so easy." "Maybe it isn't so hard either." "What do you mean, Hildy?" "Doesn't an expert have to examine him before they hang him?" "A bird named Egelhoffer is doing it." "He'll say the same as the rest." "Suppose he does." "What's your scheme?" "Walter, you get the interview with Earl Williams." "Print Egelhoffer's statement." "And right alongside it, double column, run your interview." "Alienist says he's sane." "Interview shows he's goofy." "You could save that poor devil's life." "You could..." " You're going away." "I forgot." " How long would the interview take?" "An hour for the interview." "An hour to write it." "We could take the 6 o'clock train if it'd save a man's life." "No, Bruce." "If you want to save Earl Williams' life write it yourself." "You're a good reporter." "I can't write that kind of thing." "It takes a woman's touch." "Don't get poetic." "Get Sweeney." "He's the best man for that sob-sister stuff." "Poor Sweeney." "Duffy just told me his wife finally had twins." "Isn't that terrible?" "Sweeney went out to celebrate and now we can't find him." "So Sweeney has twins and Williams gets hanged." "Now, Walter, look." "Argue with her, or you'll be on a honeymoon with blood on your hands." "How can you be happy after that?" "You'll remember that a man went to the gallows because she was too selfish to wait two hours." "Earl Williams' face will come between you tonight and the rest of your life." "Stop it, Walter." "The whole place will hear you." "What an act." "I just remembered Sweeney was only married four months ago." "Hildy, you win." "I'm licked." "Then Mrs. Sweeney didn't have twins?" "No, indeed." "The twins were Walter's, all his." "It was nothing." "Well, come on, let's forget it." "We'll start over again." " I'll offer a business proposition." " Not interested." "You'll be interested." "Don't listen to him." "I know him from way back." "Excuse me, will you?" "I'm talking to him." "Now, look, Bruce persuade her and you can write an insurance policy for me." "No, Mr. Burns." "I wouldn't use my wife for business purposes." "Wait a minute, Bruce." " How big a policy?" " 25,000." "Fifty thousand." "What's the commission on a $100,000 policy?" " Around $1000, but Hildy..." " And what's wrong with $1000?" " I couldn't..." " We could use that money." "How long would it take to get him examined?" "I could get a company doctor here in 20 minutes." " Get him." "Get him." " You keep out of this." "Suppose you have Mr. Burns examined over in his office and see what they'll allow on that old carcass of his." " I'm better than I ever was." " That's nothing to brag about." "I'll go back and change and after you get the check, phone me." "I'll be in the press room at the criminal courts building." "Oh, Walter?" "I think you better make that a certified check." "Think I'm a crook?" "Yes." "No certified check, no story." "Get me?" "It'll be certified." "Want my fingerprints?" "No, thanks." "I've still got those." "Gus, how much do I owe you?" "Thank you, dear." " Oh, I'm sorry." " How much money have you got?" "You know, everything we have, $500." " Give me it." " I have to buy the tickets." "I'll buy the tickets." "Believe me, he'll get you in a crap game." "Hildy, I don't gamble." "I know people that never did anything till they met Walter Burns." "But remember, it's everything we have." "I know." " You got change of ten?" " See what I mean, don't you, Bruce?" "I just gave everything to Hildy." "All I've got left..." " Come on, Hildy." " Not me." "Sign it." "All right." "For the waiter." "Come on, Bruce." "Really." "I'll open for a dime." "I'm in." "I'll stay." "Wilcox 3400." " How many?" " Two." "Take that, one of you birds." "You ain't doing anything, Ernie." "What's the matter with you guys?" "Crippled or something?" "I'll just bet 20 cents." "Press room." "Wait a minute." "Hello, Sarge, McCue talking." "Hold the line, will you?" "What?" "I told you this is the press room of the criminal courts building." "Jake, new lead on the hanging." "This alienist from New York, Dr. Max J. Egelhoffer." "He's interviewing Williams in about half an hour in the sheriff's office." "Must be the tenth alienist they've put on Williams." "If he wasn't crazy, he would be by the time ten of those babies got through psychoanalyzing him." " Is this guy Egelhoffer any good?" " You figure it out." "He's the guy they sent to Washington to interview the Brain Trust." "He said they were sane." "Here's the situation on the eve of the hanging." "I'll pick up a little fudge." "This is Murphy." "More slop on the hanging." "A double guard has been thrown around the jail, municipal buildings railroad terminals, and elevated stations to prepare for the expected general uprising of radicals at the hour of execution." "The sheriff has put 200 more relatives on the payroll to protect the city from the Red Army which is leaving Moscow in a couple of minutes." "Trouble is, when the real Red Menace shows up the sheriff will still be crying wolf." "What do you got?" " Is that good?" " Sure looks good from here." "Hildy, when did you get back?" " How are you, Eddie?" " Glad to see you." " Glad to see you." " Where'd you get the hat?" " I paid 12 bucks for that hat." " Coming back to work?" "It's a farewell appearance." "I'm going into business for myself." " What doing?" " I'm getting married tomorrow." "Again?" "Are we invited to the wedding?" "I might use you for a bridesmaid, Roy." " How are you, Murphy?" " What are you getting married for?" " None of your business." " Ain't fooling us, are you?" "Fooling?" "Look what I've got in here." "Three tickets to Albany on the 6:00 train tonight." "Three?" "For me and my beau and, hats off boys, his sweet darling ma." " That's nice." " What kind of marriage is that?" "I'm settling down." "I'm through with the newspaper business." "Can you picture Hildy singing lullabies and hanging out didies?" " Swapping lies over the back fence?" " Sour grapes." "She'll get tired beating rugs." "I'm not going to beat any rugs." "That's 3rd and Jefferson." "Where the Central School is." " No school this time of day." " What do you care for?" "You quit." "You said you were through." "I just thought it might be a good fire, that's all." " What's that?" " Practicing for the Williams party." " You'll miss a nice hanging." " Not interested." "Tell them to pipe down." "Keep quiet down there!" "How do you expect us to get any work done?" "Shut up!" "Very little respect for the press around here." "Say, did anybody phone me?" "Not that I know of." "Say, Hildy, does Walter know you're getting married?" " Just had lunch with him." " Does he know you're quitting?" " I told him." "Any more questions?" " Shall I deal you in?" "I haven't got time." "I have to do a yarn on Williams." "Did he know what he was doing when he fired that gun?" "If you ask us, no." "If you ask the state alienist, the answer is yes." " Who is he?" "What's he do?" " He was a bookkeeper." "He starts at $20 a week." "After 14 years he works himself up to $17.50." " Got more gum?" "McClosky Company goes out of business." "Williams loses his job." "Can't get another." "I'm in." "So he hangs around the park listening to soapbox spellbinders making speeches, and begins believing them." "And makes some of his own." " Up a dime." " I'm in." " Anything else, Doc?" " No, that'll be all, Mr. Burns." "Everything okay?" "Nothing to worry about." "Good, good." "How are you doing, Bruce?" "Just one more thing." " Good day, Mr. Burns." "Mr. Baldwin." " Goodbye, Doc." "Thanks very much." "Who's the beneficiary?" " Excuse me?" " That is, in case of your death." " Who do we pay the money to?" " Why, Hildy, of course." "I don't know." "That would make me feel pretty funny." "Now, why shouldn't I make Hildy my whatever-it-was?" "I feel I should take care of her." "But you will take care of her, Bruce." "Say, if that doctor is right, I'm good for a long time yet." "Look, Bruce, this is a debt of honor with me." "I was a bad husband to Hildy." "She could have claimed a lot of alimony." "But she wouldn't take any." "She had it coming to her, but she was too independent." " I'm independent too, you know." " I know you are." "But look, you just figure it this way." "I'm good for, we'll say at least 25 years yet." "By then, you'll have made enough so that money won't mean anything to you." "But suppose you haven't made good." "What about Hildy's old age?" "Think of Hildy." "I can see her now." "White-haired, lavender and old lace." " Can't you see her, Bruce?" " Yes, yes, I can." "She's old, isn't she?" "Don't you think that Hildy's entitled to spend her remaining years without worries of money?" "Of course you do, Bruce." "Of course, if you put it that way." "And remember, I love her too." "Yes, I'm beginning to realize that." "And the beauty of it is she'll never have to know until I've passed on." "Maybe she'll think kindly of me after I'm gone." "You make me feel like a heel, coming between you." "No, no, Bruce." "You didn't come between us." "It was all over for her before you came on the scene." "For me it'll never be." "What do you want?" "Can I see you a minute, please?" "Excuse me, Bruce." "Did you get it, you get it?" "Where is it?" "Come on." " Certified?" " Sure." "But Walter, that's for $2,500." "Here we are certified and everything." "Certified." "I'm afraid Hildy'll feel ashamed to think she hasn't trusted you." "But she'll know some day." "You promised to phone her as soon as you got the check." "Oh, yes, yes, of course." "Get me Hildy Johnson, press room, criminal courts building." "Sit down, Bruce." "The operator will get her for you." "Excuse me, will you?" "Yes, I'll wait, thank you." "Start hollering." "Hildegarde." "Thank you." "Hildy Johnson speaking." "Take it easy, will you?" "Did you get the check?" "Is it certified?" "Certified and everything." "I have it right in my pocket." "In your pocket." "That's fine." "Wait." "Maybe it isn't so fine." "Where are you?" "Mr. Burns' office." "Is he there?" "Look, Bruce." "I don't want you to carry that check in your pocket." "Well, because..." "Yes, yes, I know all that." "But..." "There's an old newspaper superstition that the first big check you get, you put in the lining of your hat." "In your hat." "It brings good luck." "I've been a reporter for 20 years." "I never heard that." "Neither did I. I know it sounds silly, dear, but do it for me." "Yes, yes, right now." "All right." "Just a minute." "There, I've done it." "Anything else?" "Oh, yes." "All right." "Yes, I'll tell him." "Goodbye." "Everything all right?" "Hildy said she'll get right to work." " Fine." " I must be going now." "You don't want to forget this." "It might rain, you know." "Thanks." "You mind if I don't show you out?" "I'm so busy in here." "Thanks for everything." " What did you say?" " Thanks for everything." "Nonsense." "Don't thank me." "I should thank you." " So long." " So long." "Hello, Cooley." "What are you doing here?" "I want an interview with Earl Williams." " No more interviews." " Why not?" "Sheriff's orders." "Besides, a doctor's coming over." "Can't do it." "Say, is this your money?" " I don't think it is." " Twenty bucks?" " I guess it is." " That's what I thought." "Come on, I'm in a hurry." "Open up here." " Now, Hildy, don't be..." " I won't be long." " Hello, Earl." " Hello." "My name's Johnson." "Mind if I talk to you for a few minutes?" "No, I haven't anything else to do." "I guess that's right." "So I couldn't plead insanity." "I'm just as sane as anybody else." "You didn't mean to kill that policeman?" "Of course not." "It's against everything I stand for." "They know it was an accident." "I'm not guilty." "It's just the world." "I see what you mean." "Sorry about the lipstick, Earl." "Now, look, after you lost your job..." " ...what did you do?" " I tried to find another job." "I mean, how did you spend your time?" "I used to sit around in the park, anyplace." "I don't smoke." "When you were in the park, did you hear any speeches?" "You mean those fellows that talk too much?" "I didn't pay any attention..." "Did you hear anything they said?" "Yes." "Is there anything in particular you remember?" " There was one fellow." " What did he talk about?" "He talked about production for use." "Production for use?" "Yes, he said everything should be made use of." "Makes sense, doesn't it?" "Yes, I liked him." "He was a good speaker." "When you found yourself with that gun in your hand and that policeman coming at you, what did you think about?" "I don't know exactly." "Could it have been "production for use"?" " I don't know." "L..." " What's a gun for, Earl?" "A gun?" "Why, to shoot, of course." "And maybe that's why you used it." " Maybe." " It seems reasonable." "Yes, yes, it is." "I've never had a gun in my hand before." "And that's what a gun's for, isn't it?" " Maybe that's why..." " Sure, it is." "That's what I thought of. "Production for use"." "It's simple, isn't it?" " Very simple." " There's nothing crazy about that." " Nothing at all." " Write about that in your paper." "You bet I will." "Who sent you the roses?" "Miss Mollie Malloy." "She's wonderful..." "Is that her picture?" " Yes." "She's beautiful, isn't she?" " Time's up, Hildy." "All right." "Guess that's all." "I liked talking to you." "Goodbye, Miss Johnson." "Goodbye, Earl." "Good luck." " Three landladies, boys." " Got well, didn't you?" "I wonder what the Post will do without Hildy?" "You suppose Walter Burns will ever let her go?" "Remember when Fenton wanted to go to Hollywood?" " Had him thrown in jail for arson." " Forgery." " Was that it?" " Yeah, give me some change." "Hey, Mac." "Hey, Stairway Sam." "Would you mind turning on some lights?" "It's so dark, you can't see anything." "Who's this guy Hildy's marrying?" "I don't know." "Bruce something." " I give the marriage six months." " Why?" "She won't be able to be away from the paper any longer." "Did you see her when that bell went off?" "It must be pretty nice to be able to walk out of a place and quit." "I had a publicity job offered to me last year." "I should have taken it." "That's what I'd like, a job on the side." "A desk and a stenographer." "I wouldn't mind a nice, big blonde." "With big brown eyes." "I'll bet you ten to one it don't last six months." "She's just like us, or we wouldn't be waiting for that guy to dance." " Miss Mollie Malloy." " Hello, Mollie." "How's tricks?" " I've been looking for you tramps." " Come to pay a call on Williams?" "Nice roses you sent Earl." "What do you want done with them tomorrow?" "A lot of wise guys, ain't you?" "You're breaking up the game." "What do you want?" "I came to..." "I came to tell you what I think of you." "All of you." "Keep your shirt on." "If you was worth breaking my nails on, I'd tear your face open." "What are you sore about?" "Wasn't that a swell story we gave you?" "You crumbs have been making a fool out of me long enough." "I never said I loved Earl, and was willing to marry him on the gallows." "You made that up." "And about my being his soul mate and having a love nest with him." "You've been around that cuckoo since they threw him in the death house." " That's a lie." " Everybody knows you're his girlfriend." "I met Mr. Williams just once in my life." "When he was wandering in the rain without his hat and coat on like a sick dog, the day before the shooting." "Give me one." "I went up to him like any human being would and asked him what was the matter." "He told me about being fired after being on the job for 14 years." " Who bets?" " Bet 20 cents." "I brought him up to my room because it was warm." "Put it on a phonograph." "Listen to me, please." "I tell you he just sat there talking to me all night." "He never once laid a hand on me." "And in the morning he went away and I never saw him again till that day of the trial." " Sure, I was his witness." " And what a witness." "That's why you're persecuting me." "Because Earl treated me decent, and not like an animal." " We're busy." " Go see your boyfriend." " He's got a nice room." " Not for long." "He left a call for 7 a.m." "It's a wonder lightning don't come down and strike you all dead." "What's that?" "They're fixing up a pain in the neck for your boyfriend." "Shame on you." "Shame on you!" "A poor little fellow that never meant nobody no harm." "Sitting with the angel of death, and you cracking jokes." "You're going to get out of here." " Take your hands off me!" " Let's get out of here." "They ain't human." " I know." "They're newspapermen." " All they've been doing is lying." "All they're doing is writing lies." "Why won't they listen to me?" "Why won't they listen to me?" "Who?" "Hildy Johnson?" "Hang on." "She'll be back in a minute." "You guys want to play any more cards?" "What's the use?" "I can't win anyway." "Gentlemen of the press." "Hildy." "Phone for you." "What?" "Where are you?" "You're where?" "Well, how did that happen?" "Never mind, never mind." "I'll be right down." "I'm sorry, Pete." "Sorry." "Hi, Sheriff." "How you doing?" "My shin and my back." "What's going on around here?" " Bruce was in trouble." " Lioness rushes to defend cub." "Man forgets hankie." "Mama goes to wipe nose." "I still give that marriage six months." "I don't know what you fellows are talking about." "What do you want, Pete?" "Oh, I got the tickets for the hanging here, boys." " Pete?" " What?" "Why can't you hang this guy at five o'clock instead of seven?" "It won't hurt you, and we can make the city edition." "That's kind of raw, Roy hanging a man in his sleep to please a newspaper." "But you can reprieve him twice so he hangs three days before election." "And you can run on a law-and-order ticket." "I had absolutely nothing to do with those reprieves." "How do we know there won't be another tonight?" "What if Egelhoffer finds Williams insane?" "He won't find him insane, because he isn't." "He's just as sane as I am." "Saner!" "Be serious, boys." "After all, this is a hanging." "And it's going to go according to schedule." "Seven o'clock in the morning and not a minute earlier." "There's such a thing as being humane, you know." "All right, Pinky." "Wait until you want a favor." " And please don't call me Pinky." " Why not?" "Because I got a name, see, and it's Peter B. Hartwell." " What's the "B" for?" " Bull." "But I'm innocent." "I didn't do it." "I never stole a watch in my life!" "I know you didn't, Bruce." "Mike, let him out." "I can't." "He's accused of stealing a watch they found on him." " But I never stole..." " Please, Bruce." "Who accused him?" "Diamond Louie, a crook." " I know." "It's no good." " You going to let him out or not?" " I never stole..." " Please." "All right, you're not." "Read the Post in the morning." "I can't imagine who'd do a thing like that to me." " I can't think of any enemies." " I'm sure you haven't any..." " Have you got the check?" " Oh, yes, I have it right here." "That's a funny superstition you newspaper people have." "Yes, isn't it?" "About being arrested, I thought maybe Walter Burns might have something to do with it." "But then, of course, I realized he couldn't have." " Why?" " He's a very nice fellow." "Oh, yes, I found that out." " What's the matter?" " I've lost my wallet." "Yes?" "Well, Bruce, never mind." "I have the money." "Better give me the check too." "And that picture of us in Bermuda." "Don't bother, Bruce." "You'll find lots of things missing." "Wait here." "I'm not taking any more chances." "I'll be down in three minutes." "We'll take the next train." "Sorry." ""And so into this little tortured mind came the idea that that gun had been produced for use." "And use it he did." "But the state has a production for use plan too." "It has a gallows." "And at 7 a.m., unless a miracle occurs, that gallows will be used to separate the soul of Earl Williams from his body." "And out of Mollie Malloy's life will go the one kindly soul she ever knew"." "That's as far as she got." "But can that girl write an interview?" "She'll do till somebody else comes along." "It's not ethical, reading other people's stuff." "Where you get that ethics stuff?" "You're the only one who'll swipe any of it." "I say anybody that can write like that won't give it up to sew socks for a guy in the insurance business." "Now I give that marriage 3 months and I'm laying 3-1." " Any takers?" " I'll take that bet." "A girl can't leave the room without being discussed by old ladies." "Hello, Post?" "Get me Walter Burns, will you, please?" "Don't get sore." "We were only saying a reporter like you wouldn't quit so easy." "This is Hildy Johnson." "I can quit all right, without a single quiver." "I'll live like a human being, not like you chumps." "Is that you?" "I've got some news for you." "I got the interview, but I've got some more important news." "Better get a pencil and take it down." "All ready?" "Now, get this, you double-crossing chimpanzee." "There won't be an interview or a story." "Your check leaves with me in 20 minutes." "I wouldn't cover the burning of Rome for you." "And if I ever lay my eyes on you again I'll hammer on your monkey skull so it rings like a Chinese gong!" "You don't know why I'm angry?" "Get Louie to tell you about his watch." "And there's just one other little thing." "Hear that?" "That's the story I just wrote." "I know we had a bargain." "I said I'd write it." "I didn't say I wouldn't tear it up." "It's all in little pieces now." "And I hope to do the same for you someday." "That's my farewell to the newspaper game." "I'll be a woman." "Not a news machine." "I'll have babies, give them cod-liver oil and watch their teeth grow." "And if I ever see one of them look at a paper, I'll brain him." "Where's my hat?" " Mr. Burns?" "Yes, she's still here." " Give me that." "And another thing I want..." "Where is my..." "There it is." " Hello, Doctor." "Sorry to be late." " Quite all right." "These boys from the newspapers take up my time." "They wanted me to hang Williams at their convenience." " Oh, hello, Earl." " These newspapers." " What they did to me in Chicago!" " I believe it." " Always after me for interviews." " Me too." "I did promise to make some sort of statement when I finished here." "You don't mind, do you?" "It is hardly ethical." "All statements are supposed to come from me." "I see." "What do you say to giving them some sort of joint interview?" "I can discuss some of the psychological aspects of the case and you..." "We'd have our pictures taken together?" " Shaking hands." " Splendid idea!" "I don't take a good picture." "That doesn't matter." "Publicity's the thing." "Doctor, I'm getting awful tired." "Can't I go back to jail again?" "I'm sorry." "I forgot you were there." "No, we've further questions for you." "Sheriff, would you extinguish the lights?" "That will help with what we're doing here." "Now, let me see." "Mr. Williams, you know, of course, that you are going to be executed." "Who do you feel is responsible for that?" "I am innocent." "It wasn't my fault." " Well, Murph." " Send a post card, kid." " Goodbye." " Au revoir, Hildegarde." "When will we see you again?" "Next time you see me, I'll be in a Rolls Royce giving interviews on success." "So long, you wage slaves." "When you're climbing fire escapes, getting kicked out front doors and eating in one-armed joints don't forget your pal, Hildy Johnson." "And when the road beyond unfolds, and the work..." "Look out!" "It's a jailbreak!" "What's the matter?" "What happened?" "Watch where you're aiming, will you?" "Watch the gate!" "He'll try the gate!" "Who got away?" "Who was it?" " Earl Williams!" " Who did he say?" "Earl Williams!" "Hello, hello!" "Hurry up, this is important." " Flash!" "Earl Williams just escaped." " Jailbreak!" "Williams went over the wall!" "I don't know anything yet." "Hello, Post?" "Give me Walter Burns, quick." "Hildy Johnson." "Walter?" "Walter?" "Hildy." "Earl Williams just escaped from the county jail." "Don't worry, I'm on the job." "Hey, Cooley!" "Wait!" "Hey, wait a minute!" "Cooley, I want to talk to you!" "This is Endicott." "Give me rewrite." "He ain't here." "Hello, Gil?" "Here's the situation now." "Ready?" "Williams was taken to the sheriff's to be examined by Egelhoffer." "In a few minutes, he shot his way out." "Nobody knows where he got the gun." "He got out through the skylight." "He must have slid down the rainpipe." "Nobody knows where he got it." "Or they won't talk." "Give me the desk." "The crime commission offers a $10,000 reward." "No clue yet as to Williams' whereabouts." "Here's a little feature." "An accident about a tear bomb." "Yeah, tear bomb, tear bomb." "Criminals cry for it." "I don't know." "The tear bomb went off unexpectedly in the hands of the bombing squad." "The following deputies were rushed to the hospital." " A fine friend you are." " Their names are Mervin D. Wilkerson, the mayor's brother-in-law." "After all I've done for you." "Howard Schuster, the sheriff's uncle." "Highlights on Sheriff Hartwell's manhunt." "William Mansfield, his landlord, and Lester Winthrop who married the sheriff's niece." "You remember, the very homely dame?" "Call you back." "Mrs. William Rice, scrub lady, while scrubbing the eigth floor was shot by one of the sheriff's deputies." "Look, I'm not..." "There goes another scrub lady!" "It was only a flesh wound." "They took her to the hospital." " McCue speaking." "Give me the desk." " Any dope on how he escaped?" "Maybe the sheriff let him out so he could vote for him." "A man answering the description of Earl Williams boarded a southbound..." "Call you back." " I thought you'd gone." " I thought so too." "Get me Walter Burns, quick!" "Walter, listen." "I've got the story on how Williams escaped, and I've got it exclusive." "That's right, and it's a pip." "It cost me $450 to tear it out of Cooley." "What's the story?" "I'll give it to you." "But first I have to tell you I gave him money." "And it wasn't exactly mine." "It's Bruce's money and I want it back." "Bruce's money?" "Sure, you'll get it." "Now, what's the story?" "I'll send the money." "I swear it on my mother's grave." "All right." "Here's the..." "Wait a minute, your mother's alive!" "My grandmother's grave." "What's the story?" "You get that money down here." "All right, here's your story." "The jailbreak of your dreams." "This expert, Dr. Egelhoffer, the thinker from New York was giving Williams a sanity test in the sheriff's office." "Sticking a lot of pins in him so he could get his reflexes." "He decided to reenact the crime as it had taken place in order to study Williams' coordination." "I'm coming to it." "He had to have a gun to reenact the crime with." "Who do you suppose supplied it?" "Peter B. Hartwell. "B" for brains." "No kidding!" "I'm not kidding." "I'm not good enough to make this up." "The sheriff gave his gun to the professor who gave it to Earl, who shot the professor in the classified ads." "No, ads." "Ain't it perfect?" "If he'd unrolled a red carpet and loaned Williams an umbrella it couldn't have been more ideal." "Who?" "Oh, no." "Egelhoffer wasn't badly hurt." "They took him to the hospital, where they're afraid he'll recover." "That's great work, Hildy." "Stop worrying about that money." "You'll get it in 15 minutes." "I had better." "Bruce is waiting in a taxi for me and we're in a hurry." "Hold on a minute." "Vangie, come here." "There's a guy in a taxi in front of criminal courts." "Name's Bruce Baldwin." " What does he look like?" " He looks like Ralph Bellamy." " Oh, him?" " Can you handle it?" "I've never flopped on you yet, have I?" "Come on, get going." "You only got about two minutes." "Hurry." "Sorry to keep you waiting." "How much was it again?" "$450." "Well, just a second." "Louie, come here." "I need $450 worth of counterfeit money." " Can't carry that much, boss." " No, just the $450 counterfeit." "I got that on me." "Quite a coincidence." "Take it over to Hildy." "It's coming." "I'm sending it with Louie." "Thanks for your story." "And good luck on your honeymoon." "No, no, never mind the thanks." "Just see that money gets here." " Hildy, you still here?" " No, I'm in Niagara Falls." "McCue speaking." "Emil, I got a good feature on the manhunt." "Ready?" "Mrs. Phoebe DeWolfe, colored, gave birth to a pickaninny in a patrol wagon with Hartwell's rifle squad acting as nurses." "Phoebe was walking along the street when..." "That's right." "So they coaxed her into the patrol wagon." "When the pickanninny was born, they checked to see if it was Earl Williams." "They knew he was hiding somewhere." "Here's the payoff." "They named the kid Peter Hartwell DeWolfe." "Press room." "Bruce?" "I thought you were downstairs in a..." "What?" "Arrested again." "What for this time?" "Well, they called it "mashing"." "No, I didn't, Hildy!" "I was sitting in the taxi where you left me and the young lady seemed to have a dizzy spell and I just..." "She's kind of..." "Yes, she's a blonde." "Yes, very blonde." "Never mind." "I know how it happened." "Just a minute." "Get me Walter Burns." "Hildy Johnson." "Bruce, where are you?" "Twenty-seventh Precinct?" "Hold on a minute." "Walter, you..." "He was there a minute ago." "But I want..." ""I'm sorry, I can't locate him"." "Why, that double-crossing..." "Hello, not you." "Bruce, I can't get there right away." "How about 20 minutes?" "I have to wait here for the..." "I'll tell you when I see you." "If I ever get my hands on Walter..." " Anything I can do to help?" " How much money you got?" " $1.80." " 64 cents." " Welcome to it." " Thanks, you better buy an annuity." "What's that, Emil?" "No, I can't give you an official statement." "No, wait a minute." "Here's the mayor." "How about a statement, Mayor?" " Don't pester me now, please." " His Honor won't say anything." " Have you seen Hartwell?" " Hard to tell." "There's so many cockroaches around..." "Wait a minute." "How about a statement?" " We go to press in 20 minutes." " I've nothing to say." "Not now." "Just a moment." "What do you know about the escape?" " Where'd he get the gun?" " Not so fast." " About the election..." " What effect will this have?" "None whatsoever." "How can an unavoidable misfortune like this have any influence on the upright citizens of our fair city?" "Mr. Mayor, please, is there a Red Menace or ain't there?" "How did Williams get out?" "Have you picked out somebody to be responsible?" "Any truth in the report you're on Stalin's payroll?" "The senator claims you sleep in red underwear." "Never mind the jokes." "Don't forget I'm the mayor and..." "Hartwell, I want to see you!" "How'd he get away?" "Where'd he get the gun?" "Any statement on the Red Uprising tomorrow?" " Red Uprising?" " There will be no Red Uprising." "The governor says the situation calls for the militia." "I say anything the governor says is a tissue of lies." "Here's a red-hot statement from the governor." "He claims the mayor and sheriff have shown themselves to be a couple of eight-year-olds playing with fire." "You can quote him as follows:" ""It's lucky for the city that next Tuesday is Election Day as the citizens will thus be saved the expense of impeaching the mayor and the sheriff"." "That's all." "Call you back." "Nice to have seen you, Mayor." " Excuse me, I've got so much to do." " Wait." "Who engineered this getaway?" " Was it the Reds?" " Was it you?" "Me?" "Just a minute." "I'll tell you." "I've got him located." " Williams?" " Where?" "Out on Center Street." "I just got a tip." " Why didn't you say so?" " The rifle squad is going out." "You'll catch him if you hurry." " Look, please..." " Pete, I want to talk to you." "I've got so much to do." " See here, Fred..." " Pete, you're through." "Through?" "You mean I'm through?" "I'm scratching your name off the ticket and running Sherman in your place." ""Reform the Red with a rope"!" "Williams isn't a Red and you know it!" "But there's Communistic sympathizers and I thought if I got a slogan like that I could..." "That's got nothing to do with this case." "There are 200,000 votes at stake." "If he don't hang, we'll lose them." "We're going to hang him." "He can't get away." "What do you mean?" "He did get away, didn't he?" "What do you want?" " What do you want?" " Are you Sheriff Hartwell?" "I'm him." "What is it?" "You're a hard man to find." "I have a message from the governor." " What?" " It was a reprieve for Earl Williams." " For who?" " Earl Williams." "You said there wasn't going to be a reprieve." "It frightens me to think of what I'd like to do to you." "Who was there?" " Nobody." "He was fishing." " Get the governor on the phone." "He's not there." "He's duck shooting." "Blasted nimrod!" "Fishing, duck shooting..." "A guy who's done nothing for the last 40 years gets elected governor and he's a Tarzan." "Read that. "Insane"." "He knows very well Williams isn't insane." "I never met the man." " Pure politics." " It's an attempt to ruin us." "What do we tell the reporters?" "Tell them the party is through on account of you." "As an afterthought, tell them I want your resignation now." "Hello." "Yes, yes, this is Hartwell." "What?" "Where?" "Holy Moses!" "Hold the wire!" "They've got Williams!" "The rifle squad has him at his house." " Tell them to hold the phone." " Hold the wire." " Cover up that transmitter." " No." "Now, listen." "You never arrived with this." "Yes, I did." "I came through that door..." " How much do you make?" " I thought he was sheriff..." " What's your salary?" " $40 a week." "How'd you like to make $350 a month?" "That's almost $100 a week." "I couldn't afford that." "Who?" "Me?" "They need a fellow like you in the city sealer's office." " The what?" " City sealer's." "You mean I should work in the sealer's..." "My wife wouldn't like that." "She lives in the country with my family." "That's all right." "Bring her in." "We'll pay all the expenses." " I don't think so." " Why not?" "I got two kids in school." "If they change towns, they'll lose a grade..." "No." "They'll skip a grade." "And I guarantee you that they'll graduate..." "Hold your horses, Olsen." "Hurry up, Fred." "Now, what do you say?" "That puts me in a peculiar hole." "No, it doesn't." "You never delivered this." "You got caught in traffic or something." " No, I came..." " Pretend you didn't." "Now get out and don't let anybody see you." " But how do I know..." " Come to my office tomorrow." " What's your name?" " Pettibone." " Pettibone?" " Not really." "Lay low and keep your mouth shut." " I'm tired anyhow." " Go to this address." "Nice homey place." "They'll take care of you." "Tell them Fred sent you." " Here's $50 on account." " Wait, I'll tell you in one minute." "You forgot to tell me what a city sealer does." " Is it hard?" " Easy." "Very easy." "Good, because my health isn't what my wife..." " We'll fix that too." " My wife?" "Yes, fix anything." "Go ahead." "They're still on the phone." " Tell them to shoot to kill." " But the reprieve!" " Go ahead and do as I tell you." " Hello, Olsen." "Shoot to kill." "That's the orders." "Pass the word along." " $500 reward." " $500 for the man who does it." "I'll be right over." "Hi, Hildy." "You double-crossing hyena." "What'd you pull on Mr. Baldwin this time?" " Who, me?" " You and that albino of yours." " Evangeline's no albino." " She'll do, till one comes along." "She was born in this country." "If she tries anything else, she'll have to stay in this country." " Did you bring that money?" " Oh, yeah, $400." "$450." "All right, you can't blame a guy for trying." " Give me a receipt." " I'll give you a scar." "You got plenty of them." "I'll take Mr. Baldwin's wallet too." " Mr. Baldwin's what?" " His purse." "Come on, Louie." "All right, Hildy." "I'll do it for you because I like you." "But tell your financier to be more careful, know what I mean?" "I'll loan him a pair of your brass knuckles." "Don't talk that way." "I'll take that." " I'll take it to the station." " Wait a minute!" "Take it to the 27th Precinct and tell the cops how this happened." "I couldn't do that." "Burns would turn me in." " Not a bad idea." " Here, catch!" "Louie!" "Hello, operator." "Hildy Johnson." "Will you get me..." "Drop that phone!" "Never mind." "You won't tell anybody where I am." "Put that gun down, Earl." "You don't want to shoot me." "I'm your friend, remember?" "I'm writing the story on you of production for use." " That's right." "Production for use." " You don't want to hurt your..." "Don't move!" "Maybe you're my friend, maybe not." "But don't come nearer." "You can't trust anybody in this crazy world." "I don't blame you." "I wouldn't trust anybody either." "Don't do that." "Put it back." "Put it back." "If you try any tricks, I'll shoot you." "I can do it right from here." "Sure you could, Earl." "But you don't want to do that." "You don't want to kill anybody." "No, you're right." "I don't want to kill anybody." " That's what I thought." " Wait a minute." "Where are you going?" "I was going to close the door so nobody'd see you." "No, you weren't." "You were going to get somebody." "But I don't want that." "All I want is to be left alone." " I won't get anybody." " You will." "You'll get them after me again." "I won't let you do that." "I won't..." " Give me that." " I guess I fired all the shells." " I'm awful tired." " That shot." "They'll know you're here." "I don't care." "I'm not afraid to die." "I told the guy that when he handed me the gun." " Quiet!" " Waking me in the middle of the night." "Talking about things they don't understand." "Shut up." "I wish they'd take me back and hang me." "They will if you don't keep quiet." "I couldn't go through another day like this." "You think I could?" "Get me Walter Burns, quick." "Tell him I need him." "Bruce, I know I said I'd be down, but something terrific has happened." "Walter, come right away." "Wait, Bruce, I'll explain." "I've got Earl Williams here, in the press room." "On the level." "Hurry, I need you!" "Bruce, I've captured Earl Williams." "You know, the murderer." "Stay there, Earl." "Wait." "Bruce, I'll be down." "As soon as I hand him to the paper." "Bruce, I can't." "Don't you realize..." " Who is it?" " Me, Mollie Malloy." "Open the door!" " What do you want, Mollie?" " I got to find..." " Where is everybody?" " They've gone." "Please tell me where." "I don't know, and I'm awfully busy." "They got him surrounded." "They'll shoot him down like a dog." "They're looking for you too." "I don't care." "Tell me." "I ain't afraid of them." "All right, they're down at Center Street and Fourth." " Oh, that's where I used to..." " Mollie, Mollie, don't go." "Come in, Mollie." "Draw up a chair." " Hello." " How did you get in here?" "Down the pipe." "I didn't mean to shoot him." "Really, I didn't." " Be quiet." " You believe me, don't you?" "Sure, I believe you." "Thanks for the roses." "They were beautiful." "That's all right, Mr. Williams." " Don't cry." " Don't you get hysterical." "I want to get him out." " You wouldn't get down that hall." " But they'll find him." "I know." "I'm trying to think before those reporters come back." "Let them take me." "What's the difference?" "I'll never let them." "Who locked the door?" " Now it's too late." " It isn't." "Get in this desk." " Oh, what's the use?" " Come on, get in." "We'll get you out in ten minutes." "Pull yourself together." "All right, here." "Sit down." "All right, all right, I'm coming!" " Don't kick the building down." " We got phone calls to make." "What's she doing up here?" "What's the matter?" "Came up here and had hysterics." " How do you feel, kid?" " Not so good." "Get you some water?" " Do anything for you?" " You don't look so sick." " Did you bump into Williams?" " Funny!" " Where is he?" " Let me alone." " Okay." "Give me the desk." " No harm in asking." "Hello, Jim." "Yes, false alarm." "They surrounded the house, all right but Williams wasn't there." "The Halloween outside has the police standing on its ear." " I thought you were gone." " I'm waiting for money from Walter." "What a chase!" "Give me Emil." " Give me the desk." " Any news, boys?" "Yeah, I never been so tired in my life." "What?" "Where?" "Melrose Station?" "All right, connect me." "Hello, Mollie." "How are you?" "Hold it a minute." "This looks good." "An old lady claims Williams is hiding under her piazza." "Tell her to stand up." " You want to go out on it?" " I'll cover this end." " I spent $1.40 on taxicabs already." " No more going out." " Never mind, Sarge." " Who pulled the shades down?" "They were throwing those lights around." "You know, I've got a hunch Williams ain't anywhere they've been looking for him." "He might be here in this building." "Sure, sure, hanging around like a duck in a shooting gallery." "From the skylight, but how did he reach the ground?" " I'm pretending there ain't any Earl." " He could have jumped to this roof." "From the roof he could slide down the drainpipe." "And come in any of these windows." "If the story walks in the window..." "Masterminds." "Why don't you go home?" "Maybe Williams will call on you." "It'd be funny if he was in this building." "Why not search the building?" " I am not wandering all over." " A great bunch of reporters you are." "Too lazy to go after the biggest story in years." "You seem pretty anxious to get rid of us." " Are you trying to scoop us?" " Are you crazy?" "On my time?" "Maybe Mollie's been giving her the truth on how Williams got the gun." "I didn't do nothing." " Come clean." " Let the girl alone." "She's..." "Well?" "Mrs. Baldwin." "Mother." "Don't "mother" me." "Playing cat and mouse and keeping my boy locked up." "Making us miss two trains, and you supposed to be married tomorrow." " I'll be with you in five minutes..." " Just give me Bruce's money." "You can stay here forever, you and that murderer you caught." " Murderer?" " Which one of these men is it?" " They all look like murderers." " What murderer did you catch?" "I never said any such thing." "I'm quoting my son." "He has never lied to me." "Somebody's lying." " I never said anything like that." " Yes, you did." "I said I was trying to find the murderer." " Quit stalling." " She's got it balled up." "Who are you holding out on?" "Nobody." "Now let me go, will you?" "Stop it, stop it!" "She don't know where he is." "I'm the only one that knows." " Where's Williams?" " Try and find out." " Come on, talk." " Now you want me to talk?" " Talk." " Ain't that funny?" "You wouldn't listen to me before, and now you want me to talk." "Don't say anything." " I know what I'm doing." " Stay out of this." " Why didn't you listen to me?" " Cut that out." " Hands off!" " Where is he?" "Why do you want to know?" "So you can write more lies to sell papers?" " Never mind that." " All right." "I'll give you a story." "A wonderful story!" "Only this time it'll be true." "You'll never find me now!" "Get the ambulance, somebody!" "Get an ambulance, somebody!" " She's dead." " No, she isn't killed, she's moving!" " Did you see that?" "She jumped." " I know that." "Where have you got Williams?" "Hidden." "He's in the desk." "She didn't kill herself." " How're you doing?" " Let me out." "Quiet." "You're sitting pretty." " What's in there?" " Who are you?" " This is Bruce's mother." " What are you doing?" " Shut up!" " You're doing something wrong." " Mother, please." " Take her out of here." " Take the lady to Polack Mike's." " My name's Louie Peluso." "See that she doesn't talk to anyone." "Tell them it's a case of D.T.'s." "Don't worry, Mother." "It's only temporary." "Let go of me." " Where are you going?" " To get Bruce out of jail." " Why did you do this to me?" " Get Bruce out of jail?" "How can you worry about a man who's resting in a police station?" " This is war!" "You can't desert me." " Get off that trapeze." "You've got your story." ""Earl Williams captured by the Morning Post"." "I covered your story for you, now I'm getting out." "You drooling idiot, there are 365 days in a year one can get married." "How many times you got a murderer locked up in a desk?" "You got the whole city by the seat of the pants." "You've got the brain of a pancake." "This isn't just a story." "It's a revolution." "The greatest yarn since Livingston discovered Stanley." " The other way around." " Don't get technical at such a time." "You've taken a city that's been graft-ridden for 40 years and given us a chance to have the same kind of government New York has under La Guardia." "If I didn't have your best interest at heart, I wouldn't argue with you." "You've done something big." "You've stepped up into a new class." "We'll make such monkeys of those ward healers nobody'll vote for them." " Expose them?" " We'll crucify that mob." "We'll keep Williams under cover, until we can break the story then share the glory with the governor." " I get it, I get it." " You'll kick over City Hall." "You got the mayor and Hartwell backed up against the wall." "This isn't just a newspaper story." "It's a career!" "And you bellyache about catching the eight or nine o'clock train." " But I never figured it that way." " Because you're a doll-faced hick." "They'll be naming streets after you." "There'll be statues of you." "The movies will be after you." "There'll be a Hildy Johnson cigar." "I can see the billboards now:" ""Light up with Hildy Johnson..."" " We got a lot to do." " Now you're talking." " We can't leave Williams here." " We'll take him to my private office." " How are you going to take him?" " We'll carry the desk over." "It's crawling with cops outside." "We'll lower it out the window with pulleys." "Start pounding out a lead!" " How much of this stuff do you want?" " All you the words you got." " Can I call the mayor a bird of prey?" " Call him anything you like." "Give him the works." "Hello, Duffy?" "We got the biggest story in years." ""Earl Williams captured by the Morning Post." "Exclusive!"" "Tear out the whole front page." "The whole front page." "Out!" "And never mind the European war." "We got something bigger than that." "Hildy Johnson's writing the lead." "And get hold of Butch O'Connor." "Tell him to come up here with his wrestlers." "Yeah, Butch O'Connor." "What?" "I've got a desk I want moved..." "What the deuce do you want?" " Hello, Bruce." " Hildy." "Never mind the Chinese earthquake." " I just want to ask you..." " How'd you get out of jail?" "Not through any help of yours." "I'm not talking to you." "I had to wire Albany for $100 so I could get out on bail." "What will they think in Albany?" "The money went to the police station." " We're waiting for that story." " We'll explain everything to them." " Where's mother?" " She left." "I can't hear you." " Where'd she go?" " Out someplace." " Junk the Polish Corridor!" " Tell me where my mother was going." " She couldn't say." " This is more important." " Did she get the money?" " She left in a hurry." " I'll take that money." " In my purse." "I can handle things." "I'll take that certified check too." "I'll give you the tickets." "You'll find your money in the wallet." "My wallet?" "This is my wallet." "Say, there's something funny going on..." "What are you doing?" "Just wanted to look at it." "Hildy, I'm taking..." " I'm taking the 9 o'clock train." " Sure, sure." "Did you hear what I said?" "I said I am taking the 9 o'clock..." "Oh, Bruce, I put it in here!" "Let her alone, will you, buddy." " Do me a favor..." " Just answer one question." "You don't want to come with me, do you?" "Answer me." "You don't, do you?" "No." "Take the Miss America pictures off page six." "Hildy, tell me." "Tell me the truth." "Wait a minute." "Now look here, my good man..." "You shut up, Burns." "You're doing all this to her." "She wanted to get away from you." "But you caught her and changed her mind..." "Stick Hitler on the funny page." "Now let me ask you..." "Will you give up everything for a man like him?" "No, but something's happened." "I'll tell you..." "Tell him nothing." "He's a spy, you fool." " I am not a spy." " Ridiculous." "You're coming with me right now." "Just a second." "This is the biggest thing in my life." "I see." "I'll keep." "I'm like something in the icebox." "You just don't love me." "That isn't true." "Just because you won't listen you say I don't love you." "You never intended to be decent and live like a human being." "All right, if that's what you want to think." "I'm trying to concentrate." " You're just like him and all the rest." " Sure." "That's what I am." "What?" "Leave the rooster story alone." "That's human interest." "If you had any sympathy or understanding..." " I understand, all right..." " Wait a minute." "There's one question I want to know." "The mayor's first wife's name." "The one with the wart on her?" "Fanny." "What, Duffy?" "You never loved me at all." "Never mind." "You don't work for advertising." "If you change your mind, I'm on the 9 o'clock train." "If you want me, take me as I am." "Don't try to change me." "I'm no suburban bridge player." "I'm a newspaperman." "That's it." "Keep it coming as fast as you can." "Get back in there, you mock turtle." "You tell Butch it's a matter of life and death?" "Good." "Butch's on his way." "We just have to hold out for 15 minutes." " The boys will be back to phone." " I'll handle them." "God, now the moon's out." "Fine." "Three taps is me." "Don't forget." "Got enough air?" " Not very much." " That better?" "You're sitting pretty." " How's it coming?" " All right." "Where's Bruce?" " He went out." " Is he coming back here?" "Certainly." "Didn't you hear him?" "What have you got so far?" ""While Hartwell's paid gunmen stalked the city, shooting bystanders spreading terror, Williams was lurking..."" "Wait a minute." "Aren't you going to mention the Post?" " I did." "Second paragraph." " Who reads the second paragraph?" "How long have I been telling you how to write a story?" "I'm sorry." "What's the idea of locking this door?" " Who's that?" " Bensinger." "That's his desk." "Open the door, will you?" " What's his name?" " Bensinger, of the Tribune." " The Tribune?" " Who's in there?" "Haven't you any better sense...?" "Hello." "Hello, Mr. Burns." "Quite an honor having you come over here." " Hello, Bensinger." " You know my..." "I just want to get my..." "It's quite a coincidence seeing you tonight, isn't it?" "How do you mean?" "I was talking to our Mr. Duffy about you this afternoon." "Really?" "Nothing detrimental, I hope." "On the contrary." "On the contrary." "That was one swell story you had in the paper this morning." "Did you care for the poem, Mr. Burns?" "The poem?" "The poem was great." "I liked the ending especially." ""And all is well outside his cell but in his heart he hears the hangman calling the gallows falling and his white-haired mother's tears"." " Heartbreaking?" " That's fine." "Would you like to work for me?" "We can use a man like you." "All we got are lowbrows like Johnson here." " Are you serious, Mr. Burns?" " Serious?" "Wait a minute." "Duffy, I'm sending Mr. Bunsinger over to see you." " Bensinger." " Mervyn, isn't it?" " Yeah..." "No." "Roy." "Roy V." " Certainly." "Roy V. Bensinger, the poet." "You wouldn't know." "You probably never heard of Shakespeare either." "Put Mr. Bensinger on staff." "How much you getting on the Tribune?" " $75." " I'll give you $100 and a byline." "Now you give him everything he wants, you understand?" "Roy, write me a story from the point of view of the escaped man." "He hides, afraid of every sound, every light." "He hears footsteps, they're closing in." " Get the sense of the animal at bay." " Sort of Jack London style?" " I'll get my rhyming dictionary." " It doesn't have to rhyme." "I'm deeply grateful, Mr. Burns." "If there's an opening for a war correspondent I parler a little French." " I'll keep you in mind." " Au revoir, mon capitain." "Bonjour." ""His white-haired mother's tears"." "That's the tops." "Listen, that fellow Bensinger is on his way right now." "Handle him with kid gloves." "Have him write poetry." "We don't want him." "Stall him until the extra's out." "Say his poetry smells and kick him downstairs." " Double-crosser." " That'll teach him." "He won't quit his paper without giving notice after this." " I mean you." " Me?" "You'd double-cross anybody..." "Wait a minute." "Bruce isn't coming back." "He said he was taking the 9:00 train." "In that case, he's gone by now." "Don't sit there like a frozen robin." "Get on with the story." "We ought to be finished when Butch gets here." "How you have messed up my life." "What am I going to do?" "Window's too small." "We'll carry the desk out." "I'd be on that train right now." "I'm a sap, falling for your line." " They'll name streets after me..." " Yes, well, get back to work." "I'm not going back to work." "Walter, what...?" " Who is it?" " It's me, boss." "It's Louie." "Louie." " What's the matter?" " Where's Mrs. Baldwin?" "What happened?" "Down Western Avenue, we was going 65 miles an hour, know what I mean?" "Where's the old lady?" "We run smack into a police patrol." "Busted it in half." "Was she hurt?" "Can you imagine bumping into a load of cops?" " What did you do with her?" " Search me, when I come to..." "You were with her." "You were in the cab." " The driver got knocked cold." " Butterfingers!" " You handed her over to the cops." " What do you mean?" "They was on the wrong side of the street." "Fine." "Now she's probably squawking to the police." "She's not squawking much." "Know what I mean?" "Don't tell me..." "Was she killed?" "Was she?" "Did you notice?" "Me with a gun on the hip and a kidnapped lady on my hands I'm going to ask questions from cops?" " You know what I mean?" " Dead, dead." "This is the end!" "It's fate." "What will be will be." "What am I going to say to Bruce?" "What can I tell him?" "If he loves you, you won't have to tell him anything." "Would you rather have had the old dame drag the police in here?" "I killed her." "I'm responsible." "What am I going to do?" "How can I ever face Bruce again?" " Look at me, Hildy." " I am looking at you, you murderer." "If it was my own grandmother, I'd carry on." " You know I would, for the paper." " Louie, where'd it happen?" "Western and 34th." " I got to get out of here..." " We can do more here." "Be calm." "Listen..." " Hello, hello." " Maine 4557." "Who?" "Butch, where are you?" "Mission Hospital?" "Receiving room." "What are you doing there?" "Was an old lady brought in from a smashup?" "For H. Sebastian, Butch, it's a matter of life and death." " Nobody?" " I can't hear." " Morningside 2469." " You got who?" "Speak up." "A what?" "You can't stop for a dame now!" "I don't care if you've been after her." "Our lives are at stake!" "Are you going to let a woman come between us?" "Was there an old lady brought in in an auto smashup?" "Butch, I'd put my arm in fire for you up to here." "You can't double-cross me." "Look around, please." "All right, put her on." "I'll talk to her." "Good evening, madam." "Now, listen, you ten-cent glamour girl you can't keep Butch from his duty." "What's that?" "You say that again, I'll kick you in the teeth!" "Say, what kind of language is that?" "Now, look here, you..." "She hung up." "What did I say?" "Duffy, how do you like that?" "Mousing around with some big..." " Will you shut up?" "I'm trying to hear!" " Duffy!" "That's cooperation." "Well, where is Duffy?" "Diabetes." "I ought to know better than to hire anybody with a disease." "Give me Olympia 2136, will you?" " Yes, boss." " Louie, it's up to you." " Anything you say, boss." " Get a hold of some guys." "Anybody with hair on his chest, get them off the street." "We got to get that desk out." "Is it important?" "You're the best friend I got." " I like you too." " Then don't fail me." "Get enough people to move that desk." "You know me." "Shirt off my back." "Okay, don't bump into anything." " Dumb immigrant is sure to flop on me." " Try the hospital again." "If he's not back in five, we'll carry it alone." " Do anything you want." " There's a million ways." " We can have firemen take it out." " I don't care what you do." " Come here." "See if we can lift it." " What?" "Nobody?" "Never mind." " Are you going to help me?" " No!" " I'll strain my back." " I'll find Mrs. Baldwin." " Don't open that door!" " I'll go to the morgue..." " We want to talk to you a minute." " Let go." "What's the idea?" "Get your hands off me!" " Now look here, Johnson..." " Hey, you!" "You mean me?" "Yes, you." "What do you mean by breaking in here like this?" "Don't bluff me." "I don't care what paper you're editor of." "Let go of me." "Something's happened to my mother-in-law." " We know what you are up to." " She and Mollie were in here talking." "I don't know anything." "And there's been an accident." "There's something very peculiar going on here." " Now see here..." " Just a moment, Hartwell." "Make your accusations in the proper manner." "Otherwise, I'll have to ask you to get out." "Ask me to what?" "Get out." "You will, eh?" "Don't let anybody in or out." "We'll see about this." " Give him the third degree." " Make them talk and you got Williams." "I'm going to get to the bottom of this." "Are you going to talk?" " What do you want me to say?" " What do you know about Williams?" "There." "Now we're getting some..." "Take her away." "I got ways to make her talk." "Don't you dare touch me or..." " She got a gun!" " Grab it!" "No, you don't." "Walter!" "All right, Burns." "I'll take that gun." " Where did you get this?" " I can carry a gun." " Not this gun." " I can explain it." "She was interviewing Williams, so I gave her a gun to defend herself." "Interesting." "But this is the gun that Williams shot his way out with." "My good man, are you trying to make me out a liar?" "I ought to know my own gun, oughtn't I...?" " So that's where Williams got it." " She got it from him." "Where's Williams?" " Where is he?" " You're barking up the wrong tree." "Tell me where he is." "At the hospital calling on Professor Egelhoffer with marshmallows." " Where is he?" " Ask the mastermind why he's here." "What do you know about this?" "My dear fellow the Morning Post doesn't obstruct justice or hide criminals." " You ought to know that." " You're under arrest." " You too." " Who's under arrest?" "Listen, you square-toed, pimple-headed spy do you realize what you're doing?" "I'll show you." "You and the Post are obstructing justice." "I'll see that you're fined $10,000." "You'll see nothing." "I'll begin by impounding the Post's property." "Is this your desk?" "What are you afraid of, Hildy?" "I dare you to move this desk." " Go ahead, try it." " I will." "I warn you, you move this desk out of here, I'll put you behind bars." " He can do it too." " I'll see Roosevelt hears about it." "Tell him." "Come on, boys!" " Confiscate this desk." " This is your last chance." "This is a federal offense." "We'll take a chance." "All right." "Open up this door!" " Mother!" "I'm glad to see you..." " That's the man that did it." "There." " What's the idea here?" " She claims she's been kidnapped." "They dragged me down all the way down the stairs and..." "Did he do it?" "He was in charge." "He told them to kidnap me." "Excuse me, madam." "Are you referring to me?" "You know you did." "What about this?" "Kidnapping, huh?" "Trying to frame me, huh?" "I never saw her before in my life." "What a thing to say!" "I was here when that girl jumped out the window." "Get the mayor over here." "Look, madam, be honest." "If you were out joyriding plastered, or got into a scrape, why don't you admit it instead of accusing innocent people?" "You ruffian!" "How dare you talk like that to me!" "He's just crazy, Mother." "I'll tell more." "I could tell you why they did it." "They were hiding some kind of murderer in here..." "Hiding him?" "In here?" "Madam, you're a cockeyed liar and you know it!" " What's that?" " He's in there!" " Give me the desk." " What a break!" " Stand back." " He might shoot." " Guns out." " He's harmless." "Don't take any chances." "He can't hurt anybody, you've got his gun." "Go on, you gray-haired old weasel." "Let me out of here!" "Mother!" "I was looking all over for you." "What happened?" "Jake, hang on." "Hildy, call Duffy." " No!" " You want to see us scooped?" " Aim right for the center." " That's murder." "Okay, one of you get on each end of the desk." " It's coming up." " You're covered." " In a minute." " Don't move." " Any time now." " I'll count three." "It's hot." "Ready?" "Any second now." "Three." "I got you, Williams." " Go ahead, shoot me." " Come out." "Earl Williams was just captured in the criminal courts building." " On your feet." " Don't try any funny stuff." "Williams was unconscious." "The police overpowered him." " He offered no resistance." " His gun wouldn't work." "The Post turned Williams over to the sheriff." " Put the cuffs on them." " More later." "An anonymous note led to Williams' capture." "Hold on." "The sheriff's tracing a call that gave away Williams' hiding place." " Where's the old lady?" " She went out." "Call you back." " Give me the warden's office." " You'll wish you'd never been born." "Will I?" " Hello, Fred." " Well, fine work, Pete." " You delivered the goods." " Looks natural, don't it?" " Sight for sore eyes." " Aiding a criminal." "And a little charge of kidnapping..." "What's that?" "But that's the jail." "Looks like about ten years apiece for you two birds." "When you think you've licked the Post, it's time to get out." "Whistling in the dark won't help." "You're through." "Archie Leach said that to me a week before he cut his throat." "Is that so?" "We've been in worse jams than this, haven't we, Hildy?" "You forget the power that watches over the Post." " It's not with you now." " Says you." "I've caught him." "Yes, Williams." "Single-handed." "Proceed to the hanging, per schedule." "You'll be in office exactly two days more." "We'll pull your nose out of that feedbag." "I tell you what you'll be doing." "Making brooms in the penitentiary." "Joe?" "This is Hartwell." "Come to my office right away." "I captured a couple of important birds." "Take their confessions." "Get Liebowitz." "The lawyers won't help you now." "You're talking to the Morning Post." "The power of the press?" "Bigger men than you have found out what the power of the press is." "Presidents, kings..." " Here's the reprieve." " Get out." " You can't bribe me." "My wife..." " Get out." " No, I won't." "Here's the reprieve." " What?" "I don't want to be a city sealer." " Throw him out." " Out you go." "Wait." "Who's trying to bribe you?" " They wouldn't take it." " Insane!" "What did I say?" "An unseen power." "What do you mean with a story like that?" "He's an imposter." "Trying to hang an innocent man to win an election, eh?" "That's murder." " I never saw him before." " Lf I was to..." " What's your name?" " Pettibone." " When did you deliver this first?" " Who'd you talk to?" " They started to bribe me." " They?" " Those." "Them." " It's absurd on the face of it." "He's talking like a child." " Out of the mouths of babes." " Hi, babe." "He's insane or drunk." "If Williams has been reprieved, I'm tickled to death." "Aren't you?" "You'd hang your mother to be reelected." "That's a horrible thing to say about anybody." "You're marvelous." "Take a look at that." " You're an intelligent man." " Never mind." "Let's have your story." " Nineteen years ago, I married Mrs..." " Skip all that." "She wasn't Mrs. Pettibone then." "She was one of the..." "This document is authentic." "Williams has been reprieved." "Our commonwealth has been saved the necessity of shedding blood." "Get off the soapbox." "Save that for the Tribune." "Take those handcuffs off my friends." " I'm amazed at you." " Isn't he awful?" "You don't know how badly I feel." "No excuse at all for Pete." " I was only doing my duty." " That's all right." " What'd you say your name was?" " Pettibone." " Here's a picture of my wife." " Fine-looking woman." " You haven't seen her yet." " She's all right." "She's good enough for me." "If I was to tell..." "I understand perfectly, and as long as I am mayor..." "Which ought to be about Three more hours." "Enough to get out a special edition asking for your recall." "And your arrest." "You boys ought to get about ten years apiece." "Don't make any hasty decisions." "You might run into a libel suit." "You'll run into the governor." "We understand each other perfectly." "Yes, and so do I." "So do you what?" "And now, Mr. Pettibone we'll deliver this reprieve to the warden's office." "Come along." " Lf I was to tell my wife..." " You won't have to." "Wait till they read the Morning Post tomorrow." "Tight squeeze." " Give me Duffy." " That's the worst jam." "What?" "Where?" "Get him." "Remember stealing Old Lady Haggerty's stomach off the coroner?" "Anytime you need this guy he's never there." "We proved she'd been poisoned, didn't we?" "We had to hide out for a week." "Do you remember that?" "The Shoreland Hotel." "That's how we happened to..." "We could have gone to jail for that too." "Yes, maybe you're right, Hildy." "It's a bad business." "You'll be better off." "You better get going." " Where would I go?" " To Bruce, of course." " You know he's gone." "He took a train." " Send a wire." "He'll be waiting at the station when you get into Albany." " Why doesn't he have a phone?" " I don't know." "I got us messed up..." " Get going, Hildy." " What is that with you?" "Wait a minute." "Can't you understand?" "I'm trying to do something noble." "Get out before I change my mind." "It's tough enough now." " Just a minute." " Send him a wire." "He'll be waiting." " Who'll write the story?" " I will." "It won't be as good..." "It's my story." "I like to think that it..." " At last." " I get it." "The same old act, isn't it?" "Try to push me out, thinking I'll want to stay." "I know I deserve that." "Wait a minute, Duffy." "This time you're wrong." "When you walk out that door, part of me will go right with you." "But a whole new world will open up for you." "I made fun of Bruce and Albany." "You know why?" " Why?" " I was jealous." "I was sore because he could offer you the kind of life I can't give you." "That's what you want, honey." "I could do the story and take the train..." "Forget it." "Come on." "Come on." "Goodbye, dear, and good luck." "Duffy, now this is how it goes so far..." "Just a minute." "Hello." "Who?" "Hildy Johnson?" " She just left." " I'm still here." "I can take it." "Hang on a minute." "Hildy Johnson speaking." "The Fourth Precinct Police Station?" "Put him on." "I thought you were on your way to Albany..." "What for?" "For having counterfeit money." "Counterfeit money?" "Hold on a minute." "Where did you get it?" "I gave it to you?" "All right." "I'll try and do something about it." "Honey." "Honey, don't cry, please." "I didn't mean to make you cry." "What's wrong?" "You never cried before." "I thought you were really sending me away with Bruce." "I didn't know you had him locked up." "I thought you were on the level, for once." "That you were just standing by and letting me go off with him and not doing a thing about it." "Come on, honey." "What did you think I was, a chump?" "I thought you didn't love me." "What were you thinking with?" "I don't know." "What are you standing there gawking for?" "We have to get him out of jail." "Send Louie down with some honest money and send him back to Albany." "Sure." "Everything's changed." "We're coming over to the office." "Don't worry about the story." "Hildy will write it." "She never intended to quit." "We're getting married." "Can we go on a honeymoon this time?" "Sure." "Duffy, you can be managing editor." "Not permanently." "Just for the two weeks we're away." "I don't know where." "Where are we going?" "Niagara Falls." " Niagara Falls." " Two whole weeks?" "Sure, you've earned it." "What?" "What?" "A strike?" "What strike?" "Where?" "Albany?" " I know it's on the way, but..." " Okay, we'll honeymoon in Albany." "Okay, Duffy." "Isn't that a coincidence!" "I wonder if Bruce can put us up." "Say, why don't you carry that in your hand?"

"Hey." "Hey, baby." "How was work?" "Oh, Carol got this new sweater and it is the ugliest thing you've ever seen." "It's green and..." "Yeah, that's good." "What else is going on?" "Oh, I got a call from Mike's guidance counselor today." "Yeah, so what was Mike doing now?" "Cheating, smoking, peeking in the girls' locker room?" "Apparently, everybody in his grade took some sort of aptitude test and Mike..." "What failed?" "Copied?" "Spelt his name wrong?" "No, he scored really high." "Oh." "I always expected to get a call about one of the kids being really high." "I just never thought it would be about a test score." "Well, apparently, he's right on the border between the honors classes and the regular ones." "So, the guidance counselor said it's up to us to decide." "What the hell kind of guidance is that?" "Normally he just says, "Put him on Ritalin and see if that helps."" "Hasn't worked for me yet." "Hey." "You want to try to find more rocks that look like famous people?" "I can't." "I have to write this stupid poem for English about my secret desire." "I'm listening." "I got nothing." "Everything I've tried sounds like a letter to Penthouse Forum." "Well, I have tons of poems in my journal." "I can give you one if you want." "You keep a journal?" "Yeah." "And you write poems in it?" "Yeah." "Isn't that a little...?" "Hey, you want one or not?" "So which class am I supposed to go in?" "Just remember, even though the honors class means more work, it'll allow you to live up to your full potential." "Yeah, technically, that's true." "But on the other hand, since you're on the border, if you moved up, you'd automatically be the dumbest kid in the smart class." "Okay, now I'm even more confused." "That's because you're listening to your father." "Let me see if I can explain this better." "It's kinda like, uh, when you play tennis with a really strong player; it makes you play a little better." "Right, right." "But if you listen to your mother, you're never gonna have time to play tennis or do anything fun ever again." "But it's totally up to you." "Yeah, I'm sure you'll make the right decision." "You're gonna do great in that new smart kid class." "Listen to your father, okay?" "If you move into that smarty class, all your friends are gonna hate you and beat you up." "What, what was all that about?" "How could you not want him to get into that better class?" "That school puts enough pressure on the kids." "Between all the homework, extra-credit assignments and after school programs, they hardly have enough time to be kids." "Plus, I can barely help him with his homework now." "He gets into that smart class and I'm gonna need a tutor." "I don't know why I'm surprised." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Well, you know." "It's not like you're the most ambitious guy in the world." "I'm not ambitious?" "What does that mean, huh?" "I go to work." "I make a living." "How do you think we could afford this nice house?" "Well, the fact that the living room was still considered a crime scene when we bought it didn't hurt." "Oh, the smell went away after a couple of months." "Look, I'm not saying you're not a hard worker." "But let's face it, you never wanted to move up to sales manager or start your own company." "Hey, it's no big deal." "It's just true." "You're not that ambitious." "Okay, wait." "What do I do again when somebody criticizes me?" "Oh, yeah, I turn it back on them." "Me?" "What about you?" "Me?" "When did this become about me?" "Don't try to change the subject, okay?" "Your doctor's office job, you work 20 hours a week." "Between all the coffee breaks and lunches with the girls, that comes to what, two to three hours of actual work, huh?" "Doesn't sound very ambitious to me." "Okay, what do I do when he criticizes me?" "Oh, yeah." "Blame it on the kids." "Hey, I'm a mother." "I have to take care of our kids when they come home from school." "Look, maybe working part-time made sense when they were young, but Vicky, let's face it." "The next diaper that's gonna be changed in this house is gonna be one of ours." "Joe do you think I lack ambition?" "Cable out last night and you had to talk to the wife?" "I mean, I go to work." "9:00 to 5:00 every day." "A little overtime every now and then." "Burn that 6:00 oil." "Right." "I'm up 12% in sales from last year." "That doesn't happen on its own." "I mean, what does she think I do all day?" "It's almost 3:30, Joe." "We should be getting back to the office." "Hey, Hillary." "I've got a problem at school." "Ah, just ignore it." "Who cares what people say about you?" "Actually, it's about whether to go into the honors program, but..." "Wait, people say things about me?" "You can't blame them." "Okay, here's the deal." "If I go into the honors program, I'll have a built-in excuse for getting bad grades." "Wow, maybe I should go into the honors program." "On the other hand, everyone's gonna call me a geek and I'll have no chance of landing a hot girl." "I mean, I'll be facing Larry-like odds." "Oh, yeah, I see your point." "But being in honors could actually improve my chances." "There are 22 hot girls in the regular program and about 300 guys which means" "I have a one-in-14 probability of getting one." "But in honors, I'd be the one normal guy competing for the one cute girl." "My odds go from 7% to 100%." "So, balancing all those factors, what do you think I should do?" "I think you should go into the smart group 'cause I don't even know what the hell you're talking about anymore." "Hey, honey." "Hi, sweetie." "Listen, I wanted to tell you, about yesterday," "I'm sorry if I gave you a hard time about..." "Oh no, please." "Forget it." "You were totally right." "Well, what exactly was I right about just, uh, so I could be right again someday?" "I have gotten lazy and the kids don't need me as much." "In a few years, the kids'll be gone and then what'll I do?" "Are you ready for your third sex of the day?" "Hell, yeah." "I'm sure you'll be able to fill your day somehow." "You know, before I stopped working full-time," "I was one of the best buyers at that department store." "So today, I decided to call my former assistant, Diane Starky, you remember." "No." "Yeah, yeah." "You know, the one with the short red hair." "I never heard of her." "She never wore a bra." "Oh..." "Diane, how is she doing?" "Great." "Anyway, she's a VP at Bergdorf's and it turns out she's looking for a buyer in sportswear, so I have an interview tomorrow." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "I don't want her to go back to work full-time." "She's gonna be too tired to do the important stuff around here, like the laundry... and me." "That's exciting news, honey." "Good for you." "But what about the doctor's office job?" "I mean, that's so convenient for you." "And Bergdorf's is in the city and you won't get home till late." "That's gonna be a nightmare, you know... for you." "But this is such an amazing opportunity." "And do you have any idea the amount of money I'd be making?" "About four times what I make now." "You know what?" "If this is important to you, I say go for it." "Hey, Mom." "Hey, uh, your English teacher just called." "Mrs. Lerner called here?" "Why?" "She wanted to talk about a certain poem you wrote." "She said you got an "A."" "Of course." "She called to say I got an "A."" "I mean, why else would she be calling?" "I can't think of any reason, 'cause there is no other reason, it was because I got an "A" which is what I thought all along" " I got an "A."" "Well, I'm not surprised." "Anyone who writes a poem that original, that touching, deserves an "A."" "Way to go, Lar." "She liked it so much, she submitted you for a Golden Key Award and you're getting one." "Oh, honey, I'm so proud of you." "A Golden Key Award." "What is that?" "An annual event in Albany where the Lieutenant Governor gives key-shaped pins to deserving young writers." "Hey, honey." "Guess what?" "Larry won an award for a poem he wrote and the presentation is this Saturday in Albany." "Aren't you gonna say something?" "Yeah, you're taking him." "Nobody has to take me." "I don't need to go to that." "I mean, it's not a big deal." "Not a big deal?" "I've always dreamed of winning a Golden Key Award." "Well, Kenny, if you ever write a poem as good as Larry's, maybe one day you will." "Yeah, maybe." "One day." "Hey, what is with you?" "Your kid won an award." "Would it kill you to give him a compliment?" "Sweetie, he won a poetry contest." "Okay, that's like this much better than him winning a wet T-shirt contest." "What do you want me to say to him?" "Oh, I don't know." "How about, "I'm impressed as hell."" "Or, "I'm really proud of your creativity."" "Honey, that's not exactly my style." "I know, that's why we're talking about this." "I'm shocked that my supposed best friend in the world would take credit for something he didn't do." "Hey, sh!" "What's my choice?" "Get punished, flunk the class, look like an idiot?" "And you could get in trouble, too" "Not if you say you stole it from me." "Are you crazy?" "I'm not going to say that." "My parents will throw me out of the house and I'll end up living in a refrigerator box down by the river and my new secret desire will be to find a half slice of pizza in the garbage." "Colorful story, Larry." "Who'd you steal it from?" "Look, my whole life I've dreamed of two things." "One is going to Albany." "What's the other?" "Having sex with Jessica Simpson." "Our friendship or the poem." "What's it going to be?" "Dad..." "I need to tell you something." "Can I say something first?" "About that poetry thing, I'm very proud of you." "I didn't communicate that before, but that's just because I was so in awe of your accomplishment." "Really?" "You're proud of me?" "Wait, how many beers have you had?" "There she is." "My little working girl." "Hey, I always thought I'd say that." "I just thought we'd be in the bad part of town looking for Hillary." "I got a bottle of bubbly to celebrate your job offer." "Yeah, well I wouldn't twist the cap off that champagne just yet, Dave." "What's the matter?" "I thought Diane offered it to you on the spot?" "Well..." "What, they didn't do a background check, did they?" "No, it's just that this is all happening so quickly." "I haven't even thought it through." "What's to think about, honey?" "This is for you." "This is for your happiness." "This is for four times as much as you were making before." "I love the idea of having it all." "What I don't love is waking up at 6:00 in the morning to catch the train into the city and the subway across town." "And then walking blocks in high heels." "Dave, I was so exhausted that on the train back after my meeting, some guy was squeezing my ass and I didn't stop him." "Because, frankly, I needed the massage." "No, no, no, no, no, no, no." "She's going to take that job." "Okay, time to pull out my secret weapon." "Don't worry, ladies, not that secret weapon." "It's okay, sweet." "I totally understand." "You're scared." "I'd be scared, too." "What?" "It's been a long time since you had a full-time job." "I'm not scared." "I'm tired and my feet hurt." "No, I understand." "Sweetie, don't beat yourself up about it, okay." "Some women are meant to be Oprah, others are meant to just watch Oprah." "Wait a minute." "Whoa." "What are you saying?" "That I can't do it?" "No, I think you can do it." "I think you think you can't do it." "Oh, I can do it." "I can be Oprah." "I can be thin Oprah if I want to be." "You know what, This is something that's going to impact all of us." "And I can't even think about taking this job until I know how the kids feel about it." "Fine, then we'll talk to them." "But I don't think Oprah has to ask her kids to okay her every move." "Oprah doesn't have kids." "Wow, she really does have it all." "Kids, your mother and I have some very important news to discuss with you." "They're getting a divorce." "We're not getting a divorce." "How many times do we have to tell you kids that?" "What the hell's the matter with you?" "We just have some news and I want to hear everybody's feelings about it." "Because it's going to mean some big changes around here." "You're pregnant again?" "!" "Everyone said you just put on some weight, but..." "I'm not pregnant!" "And for your information, I happen to weigh exactly what I weighed in college." "On another planet with less gravity." "So, what's the big...?" "Oh, my God." "You're dying." "I'm not dying!" "I got a new job." "No." "Not just a job." "A career." "Your mother's going to be a high-powered fashion executive at the world-famous Bergdorf's." "Isn't that great?" "Honey, I want to hear what they think." "Not what you think they should think." "Sorry." "So, what do you think about your mother's new job, huh?" "Be honest." "I'm cool with it." "Yeah, congratulations." "Wait a minute." "Slow down." "I have a very important question." "Yes." "Go ahead honey." "Tell me what you're thinking." "Go." "Is there an employee discount?" "Yes, 30%." "Do not screw this up." "Well, there it is, sweetie." "I don't see any other reason why you shouldn't take the job." "I'm going to go get that champagne." "Wait, wait." "Are you guys sure?" "Because if I take this job, it's going to mean a lot of changes around here." "You're going to have a lot more responsibility." "Honey, honey." "They are perfectly okay with this." "Right, kids?" "Uh, what kind of responsibilities?" "Cooking, cleaning, doing the laundry." "Pass." "Yeah, count me out." "30%, huh?" "Screw it, you guys pay for my clothes anyways." "Do not take this job." "What am I hearing here?" "What's the matter with you animals, okay?" "Your mother has sacrificed her entire life for you guys." "And then all of a sudden she hears she has an opportunity for some happiness outside of this house, and this is how you monkeys behave?" "Huh?" "Where is this selfishness coming from?" "Well, I'm sorry, Mom." "If this is that important to you, I guess I'll do whatever I have to do." "Me, too." "Still pass." "Fine." "Okay." "Thanks you guys." "I guess I'll call Diane and tell her I'll take the job." "Congratulations, sweetie." "That's good." "You guys are such good kids." "I love you." "You're cooking, you're cleaning, you're doing the laundry." "What?" "How are you doing?" "Good." "So, how did it go the other day when you told your dad the poem was really mine?" "It went okay." "He took it pretty well." "Really?" "Then how do you explain this?" "It's the article from yesterday's school paper about you and your poem which apparently "came to you in a dream."" "Look, I'm sorry, Kenny." "I tried, but I couldn't do it." "And I know this sounds lame, but..." "I didn't want to disappoint my dad." "He's really proud of me." "Come on, Larry." "This has nothing to do with your dad." "You just want the glory of going to Albany and you don't care who you step on to get there." "Okay." "I'm starting to understand why he has a journal full of poems." "Okay, don't forget." "Mike has soccer practice after school and he won't be home till 5:00." "And somebody needs to go to the market because we out of... everything." "Relax, sweetie." "I got it under control, okay?" "Please tell me I'm doing the right thing?" "Look, first of all, I think you look beautiful, okay?" "And I think what you're doing is great, I do." "I mean, I'm going to let you in on a little secret, okay?" "At first I was just encouraging you because I wanted the extra money." "You're kidding?" "I had no idea." "Sometimes you're so hard to read." "No, I mean it." "You could've sat back and taken it easy, but instead, you're challenging yourself and you're setting an example for this entire family." "Okay, and if no one feels you up on the train ride," "I'm going to give you a massage when you get home." "I want you to know something." "This family always comes first." "Oh, hey, Mom..." "Not now." "I don't want to be late for the train." "Anyway, I've decided I rather be the smartest of the dumb kids so I'm going to stay where I am." "No, you know what?" "You're doing honors." "What?" "Why?" "You're the one who told me I shouldn't." "Yeah, well I wasn't smart enough for the honors class." "So what the hell do I know?" "I think you should push yourself, you know, like your mother is." "Yeah, but if I'm smart enough to get into the class aren't I smart enough to make my own decisions." "Don't get smart with me." "And what about all this stuff you've been saying?" "You know, how kids should be kids." "That's important, too." "But you'll have plenty of time to be a kid, all right?" "Hey, don't forget to pick up Hillary's sweater from the dry cleaners and I like dinner to be on the table by 6:00." "Oh, and, uh, stop by the supermarket, okay." "We're out of everything." "Dad, we need to talk." "You know how you were really proud of my poem?" "Yeah, I'm proud of you." "Very, very, very, very proud." "Yeah, well, um..." "I didn't write it." "Kenny did." "Oh, no big whoops." "What?" "That's all you're going to say?" "Oh, right." "You shouldn't cheat in school." "Or if you do, don't get caught." "Dad, you don't have to pretend that you're not upset." "I know how much me writing this poem meant to you." "I mean... all that stuff you said before." "Don't worry about that stuff." "Your mother told me to say that, all right." "Come on, it was a poem." "I didn't even read it." "How could you not read my poem?" "Look, I'll tell you something." "You write one by yourself, maybe I will." "I don't even know why I bother caring what you think." "I mean, is it too much to ask for you to be proud of me, just for once?" "Yeah, I don't know what I'm prouder of:" "the fact that you stole the poem or that you lied to everyone about it." "I only did that because I thought you were so happy for me." "And I didn't want to take that away from you." "Wait, hold on, Larry." "You didn't let me finish." "Would you let me finish?" "Hold on." "Okay, listen, it's true, I didn't really care about your poem." "But that doesn't mean that I'm not proud of you." "Yeah, whatever." "No, listen to me." "You know, it took guts to come in here and to admit the truth, okay?" "That tells me that you have character." "And that's something any father would be proud of." "Really?" "You mean it?" "Yeah, I mean it." "All right?" "You're a good kid." "Thanks, Dad." "Try and keep that in mind when they suspend me from school." "Don't worry about it." "Okay, there are 24 brussels sprouts which need to be eaten by the end of the week." "Tom eats two every other day." "Sally eats two three days in a row, but not on the fourth or sixth day." "And Jimmy cannot eat any on the same day as Tom." "How many brussels sprouts does Jimmy eat on the third day?" "None." "'Cause no one eats brussels sprouts." "They taste like crap." "Dad, come on." "I need to finish this, please." "Is it A, B, C, or D?" "All right, fine." "Give me a second." "The answer is C." "C?" "Okay, could you walk me through your thought process?" "Eenie, meenie, miney, moe." "Catch a tiger by the toe..." "Look, I gave you the answer, but I'm not going to spoon-feed you." "Enjoy!"

"When I was a kid, my dad once took me on a trip to his favorite fishing hole." "It's a place called Sparrow Lake." "It's the most beautiful spot you've ever seen." "And whenever I get a little time off, like now," "I go back, and I try to find it." "But it's an out-of-the-way kind of spot, and I always seem to get a little lost... and wind up at a crossroads." "38,000." "That's nice." "How you doin'?" "Good morning." "I just need some directions to Sparrow Lake." "Sorry, we're closed." "It's about two miles back down the road, up, back at the crossroads." "Uh, where the road forks." "Of course." "My mistake." "Look, I know you're closed, but could I get some coffee?" "Uh..." "Yeah." "I'm, uh, Kelly Nielson." "MacGyver." "Nielson Flying School?" "That was my dad." "Is my, uh, breakfast ready, Cook?" "Yeah." "Comin' up." "Thank you." "Finish it." "Hmm?" "Or I will." "It was a little strong." "My name's Terry Andrews." "That is Tennyson." "Is that a great name for a short-order cook?" "Tennyson will fix your breakfast while you empty your pockets." "I guess this means I won't be goin' fishin'." "They, uh..." "They just came up here about two hours ago and took over the place." "Oh, I like girls that talk a lot." "Is that supposed to frighten me or excite me?" "Hey." "Hey, tough guy." "Tough enough to do you some damage, boy, hmm?" "Now, now, let's all try to get along." "I, uh, estimate we'll be gone in three hours and a quarter." "Now, you, uh, rent planes, you handle charters for fishing in Mexico." "Just consider us to be your customers." "And help us pass the time, huh?" "Don't!" "Dave..." "Oh, Davey." "Oh." "Davey." "Davey." "Now, Davey's not gonna do nothing." "Are you, Davey?" "You're not gonna do nothin'." "You put your hands on that girl one more time, I'm gonna show you where that gun of yours is gonna end up." "Please, gentlemen, gentlemen... relax." "Ah, the fascination of war." "Some men can't kill." "Others don't mind." "Yeah, but for Buddy, it's as necessary as breathing." "I wouldn't give him any excuse." "They're here!" "Everybody out." "Yes!" "Ta-da!" "Turk, Elias, you're 40 minutes past ETA." "Problems?" "No way!" "Except you drive all night from Dallas with the great Stone Face." "He got nothin' to say, and he don't say it." "Any trouble on this end?" "No, not unless Buddy went and got mean and shot and ate one of 'em." "You still got that humongous mouth, huh, kid?" "Got it all, buddy-o." "I've got it all." "Ooh!" "You just might get lucky, sweetheart." "Turk, now!" "Now!" "Move it down." "Come on." "Storage van company in Dallas is missing their truck right now." "Curious mix of people around a man like me, MacGyver?" "Each one have their specialty, expertise." "I'd be willin' to bet you didn't win that in a raffle." "Everything was planned, timed, and executed perfectly." "Yo!" "There's a man in there!" "Yes, so there is." "But, like, uh, most inside guards, he has no key." "But you'll kill him." "There is that possibility." "Do it." "60 seconds." "You know,if you blow that door, you're gonna burn up all the money inside." "I can open it for you." "Nobody'd get hurt." "With what, your teeth?" "Thermite torch." "Made out of what?" "That bicycle, and some of the equipment you got over there, and, uh, uh, add a little iron rust, and I'll cut through that door like a hot knife through butter." "Come on, what do you say?" "It won't cost you anything." "A good plan is always flexible." "We got a couple of minutes to spare, I guess." "So... try." "A racing bike's made out of magnesium, light, strong, and flammable." "When you file it down to a powder, add some ferric oxide, your rusted iron, mix it, tamp it down tight, you've turned an expensive bike into a torch." "Use a highway emergency flare for ignition, and you've got your hot knife through butter." "MacGyver, what do you do by profession?" "I, uh, move around." "I suggest you all move back for this." "Very good, MacGyver." "Very, very good." "Now, a dead body brings buzzards, right?" "I ain't doing no day labor" " I'm rich." "Oh, no." "MacGyver and Captain Yellow Streak'll do the digging." "You can watch." "You're all heart, buddy boy." "Well, I try." "Why's that bug you?" "You didn't have to kill him." "No... but I wanted to, and if Andrews didn't see some potential for the rest of you," "I'd waste you, too." "Start digging." "Kelly said you were a MedEvac pilot, Dave?" "I was." "I'm not." "That's too bad." "I don't fly anymore." "I'm sorry." "I was shot down." "They held me prisoner for 13 months." "Toward the end, I was mostly digging graves." "Last one I dug... was for me." "They tied my elbows behind my back... and then made me kneel at the edge." "I don't know how long I knelt there waiting for that chrome-plated revolver at the back of my head to go off." "Then they started laughing." "When they were done..." "I know what that sounds like." "Just the truth." "You and Kelly are about the only ones who didn't just pass judgment." "Well, I can't stand in judgment of you, Dave." "I'm not perfect... yet." "Hey, get with it." "Let's keep that dirt flying." "You bet." "Planting season's over." "Ain't that something?" "Eight million dollaroonies." "$8,211,600, exactly." "Buy a fresh ammo clip and a head start." "Cool it, Rambo." "After all, that's the second best thing going." "Don't you touch her, man." "Why, you got a claim?" "Nobody has a claim on me." "Why, what would you do... kill yourself?" "I'd do my best to kill you." "Only make it more exciting." "Aw, come on now, Buddy, now, that's just bad taste, picking on girls." "Show a little class for a change." "Buddy, Buddy." "Buddy, not now." "Sparrow Ridge, this is Baron Zero Seven Sierra, over." "That's it." "That's our charter." "Answer him." "Sparrow Ridge, this is Baron" "Zero Seven Sierra, over." "Answer him." "Come on." "Come in, please, Sparrow Ridge." "This is Baron Zero Seven Sierra, over." "This is Kelly Nielson, Sparrow Ridge." "We've been expecting you, Zero Seven Sierra." "Over." "Kelly, I have an electrical short in the trim control." "Can you make repairs, or should I proceed to Nogales?" "Can you fix it?" "No." "Do you read me, Sparrow Ridge?" "Over." "Your "no" came much too quickly." "Tell him to come down." "Kelly, do you read me?" "Over." "Tell him, now!" "Can do, Zero Seven Sierra." "Come ahead." "Over." "Roger." "See you in 15 minutes." "This is Baron Zero Seven Sierra, out." "There's no guarantee I can fix it." "Uh, I may not have the parts." "Then a lot of people could get real hurt real soon." "How about you, MacGyver-- any ideas?" "I can jury rig a trim control switch." "You got a spare parts bin I can take a look at?" "Good man, MacGyver." "My schedule's assured with you around." "Show him." "You go with them." "I was just cooling down, Terry." "Take the beer with you." "Go easy on the brew, Buddy." "You still got to fly us out of here." "I just got to take care of one thing before we split:" "MacGyver." "Jury rig a switch?" "All Dave has to do is trace the circuit." "Yeah, I know that, and you know that." "No one else seems to." "Can you fly that chopper out there?" "No, but we keep it maintained." "You asked Dave, didn't you?" "Yeah." "You know, it's not his fault." "He would if he could." "It's just that he's been through so much." "Kelly, I'm not laying any blame on him." "Seems like a nice guy." "It's been tough... for both of us." "See, Dave and I... we make allowances for each other, and we work together pretty well... at least until this happened." "Get started." "Does that fire truck work?" "Pumps run at all?" "Yeah... but there are four men out there carrying guns." "Kind of tough odds." "Let's even 'em up a little bit." "What's that?" "Lateral cranial impact enhancer." "He'll be out for a while." "Let's go to work." "Listen, we can't just sail out of here." "What about Dave and Al?" "That's no problem." "We'll take 'em with us." "You didn't happen to use fertilizer in that garden, did you?" "Yeah." "Good answer." "Got any left?" "Over there." "What are you doing?" "Some of the chemicals in fertilizer and the ether in the Engine Start will mix together to make a pretty good bomb." "It's a little recipe I use in emergencies." "I'll remember that." "Whew." "Listen, why don't you go back in the cafe, and bring Dave and Al when the others run outside." "I won't even ask why they're going to run outside." "Faith, my dear, faith." "Your, uh, your man says he's thirsty." "And what?" "And MacGyver's almost finished." "?" "?" "Come on!" "Come on, let's go." "Kelly, you drive." "Come on." "I'll ride up top with MacGyver." "Let's go." "Hurry." "Come on, move it, Kelly." "Hurry." "Stop them." "MacGyver, the water tank's empty." "Dave, give me a light." "I got it, MacGyver." "We gotta slow 'em down." "Quick, MacGyver, they're coming." "Where's he going?" "Going around us." "Kelly." "Where's Kelly?" "Dave, give me a light first." "Drop it, MacGyver." "Or have pieces of her all over the runway." "I owe you one, pal." "You can have what's left when I'm done." "Let's not fight over me, boys." "Charter flight's coming in." "You come with me." "Be very sensible." "Her life depends on it." "Keep making those sandwiches." "We got a long flight ahead of us." "Maybe we should tie them up." "No..." "I got a better idea." "Come on." "Let's go." "Easy, big fella." "Open the door." "Come on." "They'll freeze solid in there." "Probably." "But if you're real nice to me," "I'll let you stay out here." "Open it up, Al." "Ah..." "I am crushed." "You heard the lady." "Open the door." "Get the food." "Hi." "I'm your charter." "How do you do, sir?" "Good to see you." "We sure are anxious to get to them fish." "Well, that'll depend on how long it takes to make the repairs." "Hey, Dave,where's, uh, Kelly?" "I miss her smiling face." "Hey." "Okay, guys, let's do it!" "Come on, killer." "Come on." "Oh, God, now what do we do?" "Now we're going to get out of here." "How?" "Well, I don't know that quite yet, but I figure we ought to be pretty quick about it." "Kinda chilly in here." "Did you notice that?" "So, Kelly, tell me, how'd a nice girl like you end up with a place like this?" "I grew up here." "Dave used to work for my dad." "We kinda had something together before he went to Vietnam." "And got taken prisoner?" "The telegram said he was dead." "Killed in action." "Is this some kind of hijacking?" "My plane?" "You need him for anything?" "Back up, Buddy." "Back up." "He can help Davey fix the plane." "The only thing I'd help is at your hanging." "Walt, they mean it." "Fix it." "And we'll just watch real close to make sure you don't make any mistakes." "?" "?" "So did you ever think of leaving here?" "I lived in Chicago once." "I even got married." "Six months were pretty good, and then..." "Ah." "Ow." "Ended two-and-a-half years with the two of us pretending." "What about kids?" "Kids need a home, not two strangers just trying to be polite with each other." "God, I do want kids." "We're getting there." "I knew you would." "Have you any idea what Dave has been through?" "Yes, ma'am, I sure do." "Shot down, P.O.W.-- excuse me-- a lot of isolation and torture." "Told me he even dug his own grave one time." "I never heard that." "Yeah." "Ah, it doesn't matter." "What does is that he's still there, hiding." "I want to help him, but I just don't know how." "I wish..." "I wish for a lot of things." "So do I." "How about a deal?" "I'll wish for you if you wish for me." "Okay." "That we get out of here." "Eh, no problem." "Start making a second wish." "MacGyver, what are you doing?" "Water's kinda weird." "It's the only substance in the world that expands when it freezes." "Oh, inside the door lock." "Yes, ma'am." "Keep loading." "The State Police should be guessing we're in Arizona by now." "I want to be in Mexico before they guess Sparrow Ridge Airport." "She's still rough." "Good enough." "Button her up." "Oh, gee." "They really did a job on the radio." "You got the controls to this thing?" "Well, yeah, but, but why?" "Okay." "Now, we're going to say good-bye, we're going to take off... and that's all she wrote." "Let's go to the diner; come on." "No!" "Al, what're you doing?" "They're not going to leave us living." "They're going to do away with us, too." "You just do what you want to do." "I'm not going out like no whimpering dog." "So, whatever you're going to do, man, you might as well do it here." "Hey, what's going on?" "What is that?" "Something's on it." "You guys, come on." "Come on!" "Get it!" "Move!" "We got to get out of here." "Not with MacGyver on the loose." "If he tosses another firebomb when we're in the plane, we could fry." "He could be anywhere around here." "Then we better find him." "MacGyver!" "Where are you?" "Buddy!" "Turk with you?" "No." "He went over toward the moving van, but he's not there now." "I don't know where Turk went." "Did you check the road?" "Yeah." "Nothing." "Did you find them?" "Come on!" "They're not invisible." "I'll look around, brother." "Kelly!" "MacGyver?" "!" "They're going to get him sooner or later." "Yeah." "You and your friends are dead!" "MacGyver!" "I can't fly that chopper, Kelly." "You won't fly it..." "and that's different." "Dave, I think she's saying this is one of those times when you go one way or the other, and the rest of your life depends on which way you pick." "MacGyver!" "Here I am!" "Turk, is that you?" "Nothing." "Nothing." "Come on." "Come on, we're losing it." "The whole plan is going to hell." "Warm up the plane, now." "Come on." "We got the money;" "let's go." "Dave!" "MacGyver!" "I need your help." "I can't!" "I told you, I can't!" "We got to stop them." "Why?" "We're alive, and I don't give a damn about the money!" "They killed a man." "I give a damn about that." "Okay." "Hey, what's going on?" "MacGyver." "I'll try and dump him off." "He's riding the controls." "Blow him away!" "Think you can handle this one, Al?" "Yeah, it'll be my pleasure." "Come on, let's go." "Move it!" "Move it!" "I'd better help the others." "I'll wish for you if you wish for me." "Got to be careful what you wish for, Kelly." "It just might come true."

"Here you are." "Forty seven pounds, ten and nine." "Would you sign the receipt and count the money?" " You don't mind my taking it all out, do you?" " It's your own money." "As your bank manager, I'd prefer you to leave the account open." "As your father, I..." "Nothing for me, thank you." "Oh, but you must have something tonight." "He'll have a sherry." "And the usual for you, Miss Webster?" " Bring him a gin and Dubonnet." " You have no consideration at all for my position." "Oh, darling, be reasonable." "Just think of all these girls here." "They've all got fathers who have positions." "Not everybody's father is a bank manager." "Thank you, miss." "Darling... please stop being a bank manager for once." "Just be my father for tonight." "Now look here, Joan, I've come all the way here from Eccleshall, and you know I don't like being seen in expensive places." " You know what my clients will say..." " Daddy, I'm going to be married." "What?" " Your table, Miss Webster." " Thank you, Fred." "Let's go in, darling." "Bring your drink." "Diamond, huh?" "Who is he?" "Excuse me." "That's a works pass of the CCI." "You can't marry Consolidated Chemical Industries." "Can't I?" "No other name on this except your own and..." " You can't mean..." " Just what I do mean." "Robert Bellinger's one of the wealthiest men in England." "Anything wrong with the soup, Miss Webster?" "Oh, we were talking." "It's cold now." "Will you take it away?" "Certainly." " Excuse me." " Now here, Joan, stop acting." "You're not Lady Bellinger yet." "Anyway, you'll come with me to the station." " Tonight?" " I'm picking up the Scotch Express there." " Going to Glasgow?" " Further." "The Western Isles." " Have you got your ticket?" " It's all arranged." "Everything's arranged." " I'm going to an Island called Kiloran." " Where is it?" "In the Hebrides." "It takes a day and a night to get there." "It's his island." "We're going to be married there, away from people." " Have you ever been there?" " Often." " What?" " In my dreams." "He's told me all about it." "There's an old house, and the war's a million miles away." "There are famous sands and sheep and birds and Atlantic seals." "Bellinger must be nearly as old as I am." "And what's wrong with you, darling?" " Come on, Daddy, let's dance." " No, no, Joan." "Oh, come on, Daddy." "You can dance." "You taught me to dance." " Good evening, Hunter." " Good evening." "Follow me." "Excuse me." " I hope you will be comfortable, miss." " Thanks, Mr. Hunter." " I managed to prevent them from putting you over the wheel." " It's lovely, Hunter." " See you in the morning, Miss Webster." " Yes, please." "We get in at 6:30." "I'll call you half an hour before, all right?" " Yes, thank you." " Very good, Miss Webster." "Thanks, Mr. Hunter." " It was very clever of you to get a sleeper, Hunter." " Sir Robert's orders." " Not so easy these days, all the same." " We have our methods, sir." " This is my father." " How do you do, sir?" "Here is an itinerary that I had prepared at Sir Robert's desire." "Would you study it?" "When you arrive at Glasgow, you change to Buchanan St. Station." "Mr. MacAllister, director of the Bellinger Metal Works, will meet you on your arrival at the central." " You arrive at Oban at 11:30." " Just leaving, sir." "Oh, I must be off." "Excuse me." " Good-bye." " Good-bye, Hunter." "Good-bye, Daddy, darling." "Send me a wire." "I'll be back in a week." "Hunter will give you the address." " Good-bye, darling." "God bless you." " Good-bye, Hunter." " Good-bye, miss." "My very best wishes." " Don't forget to write." "Darling, don't worry about me." "I know where I'm going!"

" It is." "You'll need all your time to get to Buchanan Street." "Here." "Miss Webster?" "I'm David MacBraynes's agent." "It's a fine day." " Miss Webster." " How do you do, Captain?" "Yes, yes." "I had a letter about you from Mr. Lee." "It is your first visit?" " Yes, it is." " 'Tis a sublime day." " Miss Webster?" " Yes?" "Be getting in quickly, Uncle Bridie." "It's a pity about the day." "An hour ago, it was very pretty." "Ah, but it never stays fine for long in the isles." "You'll soon get used to it." "Are you for Kiloran, Miss Webster?" " Yes." "Is it far to Port Erraig?" " Quite a step if you walk." "Only 40 minutes if you have a car, and you have a car." "Port Erraig is down yonder behind the trees." "That is Moy Castle, the ancient home of the MacLaines of Erraig." " Where do they live now?" " Down there in Erraig House." "Ah, but they'll all be dead now or in New Zealand." "There will only be Catriona MacLaine." "Is anyone allowed in the castle?" "Oh, yes, anyone can go in, except the lairds of Kiloran." "There's a curse on them." " What sort of curse?" " If they should ever set foot across the threshold, man, they say it's a terrible strong curse." "Hear ye!" " I'd better go down." " Will I take them for you?" " Oh, no, I can manage." " I'd better wait a wee while." "Ruairidh Mhor may not be willing to cross over to Kiloran in this weather." "Oh, no, my fiance is coming over to fetch me." "Oh, so the rich gentleman in spectacles is your fiance?" "Yes." " "Well, well, a thousand blessings on you both."" " Thank you." "But in a fog like the one that's coming up, your fiance won't see any better with six pairs of spectacles than with one." "Good-bye." " Good evening." " Good evening." "Oh, bad luck." "No crossing today." " But isn't that the boat from Kiloran?" " No." "And if she was, it is not today she'd be getting back, milady." "That's the ferry boat." "Pity you didn't keep lain's car." "That's why I was shouting." "But we didn't understand." "Why should I keep it, anyway?" "To go back to Tobermory and spend the night in a comfortable bed." " But I intend to spend the night on Kiloran." " Oh." "Would you like to wait up at the house?" "I know the people." "Thank you." "But it's been arranged for the boat to meet me here, and I'd better be here to meet it." "Good." "It's the big house up the bray." "Is that Gaelic you're talking?" "Yes, milady." "What would it be but the Gaelic?" "" " What's that noise?" " That would be the seals' signal, miss." " The seals?" "Yes, yes." "They like the warm, foggy weather." "If my boat doesn't come, will you take me?" "No, I will not, milady." "Port Erraig, 5:15 p.m." "The boat from Kiloran will meet Miss Webster..." "Good evening." "I'm looking for the house." "You'll see a wee gate up the bray." "Thank you." "Hello?" "May I be the first to welcome you to these halls, young lady?" "I was just going to get you." "Come on in." "We've lit the fire." "You've met the colonel, I see." " I've had that pleasure." "My name's Barnstaple." " Colonel Barnstaple." " The greatest hawk trainer..." " Falconer, my dear Torquil." " The greatest falconer in the Western Isles." " In the world, old boy." "Catriona's out." "She's our hostess." "She's no idea you and I are here, but she'll find a corner for us." "She's a grand girl, bless her heart." "I've known here since we were kids." "She married an Englishman called Potts." "He's in the Middle East, and the kids at boarding school." " How's business, Colonel?" " Fair." "I've got a new line now." "Eagles." "I've been training a golden eagle for seven months." "An eagle!" "Hunting with it, like a hawk?" "That's shaken you." "Where is it?" "I'd like to see it." "Sorry, old boy." "I lost him four days ago, and I haven't got him back yet." " Where did you see him last?" " On Golly's leap." "I was trying with rabbits." "And the blighter lost interest, sailed off and disappeared in a cloud." "Every day I'm out after him." "I've trodden that mountain almost into the ground." "But I'll get him back." " Catriona!" " There's the dear girl now." "Torquil!" "Mrs. Potts!" "Brown stuff, this Gaelic." "Still got those half-starved hounds?" "How do you feed 'em?" "Oh, we live off the country." "Rabbits, dear, a stray hiker or two." "What do you expect me to do?" "Eat them myself just when the strain's getting known?" "How's that for bone?" "Look at that head, eh?" "Torquil, it's good of you to come and see an old bag like me." " Good evening." " This is a fellow traveler to Kiloran." "Oh, I see." "Ruairidh wouldn't take you over." "You're right, but I love you just the same." "I came over on the midday bus just to see you." " This is Miss..." " Webster." " Miss Webster." " How do you do?" " How do you do?" " I'm sorry I didn't see you." "It's Torquil's fault." " You'll stay here tonight." " I don't want to be any trouble." "Oh, it's no trouble at all." "I haven't heard any intelligent female nonsense for months." "Besides, there's nowhere else you could go." "Oh, don't worry." "You won't have to sleep on the floor, though the men will." "I don't know which way you came, but I suppose you noticed the place was knocked about." "Well, it did look a bit bleak." "Oh, it's no wonder." "I only just got rid of the boys." " What boys?" " Well, the RAF, of course." "I've had them for two years, 80 of them, no less." "But surely they'll compensate you for the damage." "Oh, yes, they've been very fair about that, apart from trying to sell me their concrete foundations." "I wasn't having any." "No, they'll pay a lump sum, or do the place up as it was." " After the war, of course." " Which are you gonna take?" "That's the question, Torquil, my boy." "MacLaine versus Potts." " Will you have a draft?" " Certainly." "Help yourself." "We'll get dinner." "We'll make a pie." "The colonel says you're a dead shot these days." "My dear Torquil, I have a tip that will improve your own shooting." "After scrounging a few cartridges out of the local comptroller, find a sitting rabbit, take aim, say to yourself," ""If I don't shoot this rabbit, I don't eat,"" "and you don't miss." " And she doesn't." " What's your other name?" " Joan." " Mine's Catriona." "Can you skin a rabbit?" "That's a queer girl." " What do you young chaps know about girls?" " Nothing." "Not a thing." "Then you know as much as I do." "Taming a woman must be worse than taming an eagle." "Can't be done, old boy." "It can't be done." " How's the war treated you?" " Not bad." "Saw the world." " Been home much?" " Not for four years." " Staying long?" " Eight days." "Not much." "There's a right way and a wrong way to skin a rabbit." "I only know the wrong way." "Colonel, you're wanted." "On parade!" "Hear any bells, either of you?" "I thought for a moment it was the old boy, back again." " Colonel!" " Right!" " What did he think he heard?" " His eagle." "A little odd, isn't he?" "Who isn't?" "Oh, it's Kiloran!" "It looks huge." "Six inch to the mile." "If the winds gets up, it'll soon blow the fog away." " Sounds as if it is." " Are you staying long on the island?" " A few days." " You know anyone there?" " Mm-hmm." " It's a fine island." " I know." " Been there before?" "No, but I've heard all about it." " Do you know it well?" " I've known it for 29 years." "I shouldn't have thought you as old as that." "Four years older." "Are you staying on the island?" "I've got eight days leave." "I want to spend it there." "Do you know Sir Robert Bellinger?" "No, I've never met him." "Does he know you're going to Kiloran?" "No." "Do you know him?" " Very well." " Nice chap." " The nicest." " I'd like to meet him." "Well, you're bound to, aren't you, on a small island like Kiloran?" " It's not so small." " I heard you could walk it in an hour and a half." "I suppose you can if you want to, but who wants to?" "There are better things to do." " Such as?" " Shoot grouse, fish for salmon, bathe in Kiloran Bay, picnic at Pig's Paradise." " Where's that?" " On the north shore." "There's an eagles' aviary there." "I promised to take the colonel." "Oh, so the colonel's going too?" "Yes." "He's got a permit from Bellinger." " So one does need a permit?" " In wartime, for ordinary visitors." "But I'm staying with a factor." "He's got a house on the west side." "Kiloran House is near the lake, isn't it?" "The loch, yes." "Who is it?" "It's me." "I'vejust been outside." "It's much clearer." "With luck, we'll be able to cross in the morning." " Oh, thanks for telling me." " See you in the morning." " Good night." " Uh, good night." "You can see the trees now." "In half an hour, you'll be able to see the shore." "In half an hour, I shall be asleep." "There's a grand view of Kiloran from here." "At sunrise, the light shines on the sands." "With a glass, you can make out the people." "Have you got a match or a lighter?" "Thanks." "Thank you." "Are you engaged?" "Yes." "I'm going to be married on Kiloran." "It's an honor for Kiloran." "Well, may your pulse beat as your heart would wish." " Thank you." " Is it to be soon?" "Tomorrow, weather permitting." " Have you got any beams in your room?" " Yes." "Why?" "Count them before you go to sleep, and your wish will come true." " As easy as that?" " For only the first night." "People in modern houses don't know what they're missing." " Good night." " I warn you, it doesn't work if you don't believe in it." "One, two, three, four, five." "Please, Lord, don't let the wind drop, and let it blow the fog away." "Good morning, Miss Webster." "Good morning." "Your counting beams certainly works." "Trouble is, you wished too hard." " Why?" "What's the matter?" " We've had a gale warning." "What will that mean?" " Ruairidh Mhor will tell you." " How long will the gale last?" "Oh, just as long as the wind blows, milady." "It can last for a day." "It can blow for a week." "It looks so near." "In half an hour, we could be there." "In less than a second, you could get from this world into the next." " Can I speak to the island?" " By radio, from the Coast Guard post." " Can civilians still use it?" " Yes, yes." " Where is the Coast Guard post?" " Tobermory." " Can we get a car?" " No need." "We can go by bus." "Ruairidh, we'll be at the Western Isles Hotel." "I think perhaps we'd better move into the hotel." " We're a bit of a strain on Catriona's household." " Oh, yes, of course." "All right, then." "Breakfast?" "And cheer up." "Oh, I'm all right." " Very difficult." " Crazy." "It was a compromise." "The post office wanted it up the hill;" "Catriona, below." "But why just here?" "It was a dry summer when they put it here, and they forgot the rain." "Hello?" " It's all right." "You have a big room." " What about you?" "Oh, I have a small one." "Now's my chance to see the castle." "I suppose you've been inside hundreds of times." " No." " Haven't you, really?" " Are you coming in now?" " No, I don't think so." "But you needn't be afraid of the curse that's on the castle." " What have you heard about that?" " Well, I know that it's upon the lairds of Kiloran." "I don't know whether the wives or the future wives... of the lairds are involved, but I'll risk it." " Coming?" " I'd better introduce myself." "I am MacNeil of Kiloran, and I am the laird of Kiloran." "Sir Robert Bellinger has only rented it for the duration." "I see." "There's not much difference." "It's his for the time being." "Are you afraid?" "My father never entered Moy Castle, nor did my grandfather or his father, and nor will I." "How on earth can you stand it?" "Aren't you curious?" "No." "It's always been like that." "Shall we go?" "Excuse me, sir." "Are you not MacNeil of Kiloran?" " Yes." " Oh, curse the heavens." "I knew you when you were a boy, Kiloran." "Knew your father well." "My wife is from the island." "Katie Clark." " Katie Clark?" " Mm-hmm." "Then you're John MacAllister." "Yes, yes." "You have your father's memory, Kiloran." " And are you back for good, Kiloran?" " Only a week's leave." " Oh, dear." " But it won't be long now." " Ah, no indeed." " I'm waiting for the boat." "How is everybody on Kiloran?" "Hmm, well, now." "They're fine." "They're very fine." "And my son was after telling me about the rich man on Kiloran." "Him that is your tenant, Kiloran." "Like a little king, he is." "Yes, yes." "My wife's second cousin... was working up there the entire spring... on a swimming pond he was building." " A swimming pool." " Oh, what foolishness." "And the hold wide open sea to be swimming in." " Aye, and the loch." " Money spent is money earned." "Ah, yes, yes." "My wife's second cousin was not complaining." "Meat does not fall from an empty krill." "He has no care of money, the rich man of Kiloran." "He brings salmon with him from the mainland." " The waters here are full of salmon." " Who is fishing for salmon?" "But who would be fishing when there's no one to be buying?" "So he would have to start buying before anyone would start fishing." "But can't he now fish for himself?" "No, he cannot." "He has the finest tackle from Glasgow, but the fish don't know him." "Yes, yes, the fish do not know him, no." "What are all the guns for?" "Ah, we're losing lambs." "There's an eagle been seen." " Aye, a golden eagle." " And it's 12 years..." " Seven years." " Since an eagle was seen in this part." " Where was it seen?" " Up on the shoal." "I could hardly wish them good hunting." " Hardly." " You didn't mind what they said?" "I thought it was nonsense." "Why shouldn't one build a swimming pool?" "Personally, I like swimming pools." " A matter of taste." " Exactly." "I also prefer to call up the fishmonger if I want to eat some salmon... instead of wading about knee-deep in water, waiting for salmon to pass by." " Really?" " Really." ""The Legend of Corryvreckan"?" "It's the second-biggest whirlpool in Europe." "It lies just northeast of Kiloran." ""Corry" means cauldron or whirlpool." " "Vreckan" was a prince of Norway." "" "He sought the daughter of the lord of the isles in marriage." "Hello, hello, hello." " Hello, Coast Guard." "Hello, Coast Guard." " Go on." " The lord of the isles refused to give away his daughter." " Of course." "He was a Scotsman." " Except on one condition:" "Prince Vreckan must anchor his galley... in Corryvreckan for three days and nights." " What was the catch?" " The catch was that he thought he would be drowned." "It's a terrible place." "When the tide's running, whirlpools form and you can hear the roar for miles." "And that's true." "You can hear it from Kiloran." " I bet he anchored, though." " What he did was to go straight back to Norway." "There, he asked the advice of the old men." "They told him to take three anchor ropes, one of hemp, one of..." "Wait a moment..." " Flax." " Flax." "Thank you." "One of flax." "And you know well what the third rope was made of, Kiloran." "Of course." "The third rope was made of the hair of maidens... who are faithful to their lovers." "Go on." "The maidens willingly gave their tresses, and Prince Vreckan sailed for the Hebrides." "The first night, the hemp rope broke." "The second night, the rope of flax broke." "The third rope held fast." "The third night..." "Hello, Tobermory." "Hello, Tobermory." "Isle of Kiloran speaking." "Isle of Kiloran speaking." "Over to you." "Over." "Hello, Kiloran." "Hello, Kiloran." "Tobermory speaking." "Tobermory speaking." "Tobermory speaking." "Miss Webster's here to talk to Sir Robert Bellinger." "Stand by, please." "Stand by, please." " In there, my dear." " Thank you." "Hello?" "Robert?" "Joan speaking." "I'm here in Tobermory." "I had a very good journey." "Isn't it a shame about the weather?" "If you want Sir Robert to answer, say, "Over to you."" "Over to you." "Hello, my dear." "Robert speaking." "I'm glad to hear your voice, at any rate." "We're all ready here, ready and waiting." "Cartier delivered the ring, I hope." "I hope you like it." "I take it Hunter saw you off." "Over." "Of course, Robert." "Everything was lovely." "Is there anything the matter with your voice?" "Have you got a cold?" "Over." "Oh, no, I haven't got a cold." "Do I sound as if I had?" "Now, listen, Joan, have you got a pencil?" "Write down a telephone number." "Are you ready?" "2-3-6. 236." "You got it?" "It's the Robinson's number." "They've rented the castle." "Robinson's done a lot of work for me, one way or another." "He's one of the best." "So's his wife." "They're the only people worthwhile knowing around here." "Ring them." "They'll be glad to put you up." "I'll be over to fetch you as soon as the gale blows out." "Over." "Hello, Robert." "I've got the number, and I'll phone them." "I'd rather stay in a hotel." "You don't mind, do you?" "Over." "Right, my treasure." "Do just as you like." "I say, Joan, Major Foster, MacNeil's factor is here beside me." "He's waiting to talk to Mr. MacNeil." "Is he there?" "I thought he was in the Army." "Over." "Hello, Robert." "He's here, and he's in the Navy." "Well, good-bye, Robert." "I hope to see you tomorrow." "Over." "Cheerio, my pet." "It'll be a quiet wedding." "But full of surprises, I promise you." "Chin up." "You can always ring 236." "This gale can't blow forever." "Good-bye." "Good-bye." "Go ahead, Foster." "Foster speaking." "Hello, Kiloran." "It's good to hear you're back, even though you're stuck in Tobermory." "Is there anything you want done?" "Over." "Hello, Foster." "Tell Duncan that I expect the trout to jump and the krill to perch on the end of my gun." "I've read all your reports." "I'm longing to talk things over." "" " Good-bye, Tobermory." "Over." "Good-bye, Kiloran." "Good-bye, Kiloran." " How much is that?" " Well, it's nine pence each, Kiloran." " Thank you very much." " Not can change that for you, Miss Webster." " Here you are." " I'll pay you back at the hotel." "Good." "She wouldn't see a pound note from one pensions day to another." "People around here are very poor, I suppose." " Not poor." "They just haven't got money." " It's the same thing." "Oh, no, something quite different." " Any messages?" " No, Mr. MacNeil." " Come on, ladies and gentlemen." " Mr. MacNeil." " Yes?" " I want to ask you something." " Anything." " Do you mind if we sit at separate tables at lunch?" " You do understand, don't you?" " Of course I don't mind." "We are strangers." "Not even properly introduced." "Yes, but you understand why I'm asking you?" "I think you're the most proper young lady I've ever met." "I take that as a compliment." "Please, God." "Please let the gale drop." "I must get over to the island tomorrow." "You know that I must." "It's blowing great guns!" "The wind's shifting all the time!" "It's gone from southwest to northwest since daylight!" "Where is it now?" "Blowing from every point of the compass at once." "Ruairidh says they've got savers in the northwest." "But you know all that before anybody." "Poor beggar." "I bet you're fed up to the gills." "No, it's all right." "I'm a patient man." "I can wait." "Now, listen, Colonel." "You're going to get into trouble." "Eh?" "Blast the waterfall!" "Speak up." "There's a good chap." "What?" "Big bird, my foot!" "It's my eagle!" "That's what I'm trying to tell you." "They're after it with shotguns." "Ignorant clods!" "If they touch a feather of old Torquil, I'll gore 'em!" "I've christened him Torquil." "You don't mind, do you, chap?" " He reminds me of you." " Oh, thanks." "What?" "As to this outrageous accusation, I shall refute it!" "If lambs are missing, ten to one it's a fox or a wild cat!" "I don't know anything about that." "Every village bumpkin believes the eagles carry schoolchildren with satchels on their backs." "Ballocks!" "Anything!" "Absolute poppycock!" "Talk it over with Catriona, don't do anything rash and ring me tomorrow." "Hello, Peigi." "It's an awful pretty day, Kiloran." "It is." "Is Miss Webster about?" " She's away." " Away?" "Where?" "She was away in lain's car before 8:00." "She went to Erraig, then she came back here, she used the telephone and she was away in the car again." "The family will be down in a moment, madam." " What's your name?" " Good morning, Miss Cheril." " Who's she?" "Miss Webster has called to see Mrs. Robinson." " Can I offer you anything, Miss Webster?" " No, thank you." " Are you Joan Webster?" " Yes." "You're going to marry Sir Robert Bellinger?" " Yes." "Do you mind?" " I don't mind." "He's rich, isn't he?" "Well, I haven't counted his money." "Are you rich?" "No." "Excuse me, madam." "Can I have the afternoon off?" "Now, Martin, that's too bad, but I'm playing bridge." " I see, madam." "Then that's quite all right." " What do you mean?" "I'd intended to spend the evening at Achnacroish myself, madam." "What do you mean?" "Has Mrs. Crozier asked you to make a fois?" "No, madam." "I'm invited by Mr. Campbell, Mr. Crozier's head gardener." "He's giving a ceilidh." "It's his diamond wedding." "Diamond wedding." "Fancy being married to you for 60 years." "Well, if Mr. Robinson doesn't mind, I don't." "We leave at 4:00." " Thank you." " That's all right, Martin." "Adam, surely you told me Robert was having breakfast with us!" "No, my dear." "I said that Robert's fiancee was coming to breakfast." " Here she is." " This is wonderful!" "My dear, we're going to be such friends." "That man woke me up and mumbled something." "I had no idea you were here." "I'd have been down in a flash." "What did Robert say your name was?" " But we'll be calling you Lady Bellinger soon." " Her name's Joan Webster." "Good morning, Cheril darling." "You, of course, know everything." "If only we'd known that you were stranded here." "You brought your luggage?" "Have the blue guest chamber open for the future Lady Bellinger, Hooper." " Well, really, I do..." " Oh, say no more." "I'm one of Robert's oldest friends, and you're going to be his wife." "Now, let's have a look at you." "Oh, yes, you pass with honors." "That reminds me, we need a fourth at bridge." "We are going this afternoon to old Rebecca Crozier's." "Do you play?" " No." " Oh, this generation." "Mind you, Cheril plays, but we're not quite in her class." "She says we play a stingy game, don't you, Cheril?" "Oh, fairy stories at breakfast." "Are you coming with us to see Auntie Crozier, darling?" " It depends." " Now, that's too bad of you." "You promised." "Daddy's a witness." "Well, how are you, my dears?" "Come in." "Come in." "Rebecca, darling, you look wonderful!" "Murdoch, you go and light the lamp." "I'm sorry to have kept you all standing in the wind." "Cheril." "Who is this charming young lady?" "This is Joan Webster, who's going to marry Robert Bellinger." " Oh, I congratulate him." " How do you do?" " Put down your things, everybody, anywhere." " Undo your own buttons." "How on earth can you manage with three people in a house like Achnacroish?" " Oh, I always have plenty of guests." " They give so much work." "Not my guests, my dear." "Torquil, these are friends of mine." "They've taken Sorne." "The English family Robinson." " How do you do?" " This is Joan Webster." " How do you do, Miss Webster?" " How do you do?" " Hope you've got a good long leave." " Six more days." " It's certainly far enough from the war here." " Plates, Torquil." " Anything else, ma'am?" " No, thank you." "One, two, three, four, five, and half for the little one." "Did you know, Torquil, this young lady's going to be the mistress of your house?" "I hope you'll be very happy there." " I'm sure I shall." " Are you the owner of Kiloran?" "Really?" "How interesting." "You know, we nearly took Kiloran ourselves." "We found it just a little bit too expensive." "Your agent asked an enormous rent for it." "I'm afraid that's the only income I ever get from Kiloran." "You see, for three years' rent, I can live there myself for six." " That's highland economics." " Everybody's had tea?" " Rebecca!" " Yes, please." "If I was to let my house, I should never live to enjoy the money I would get for it." "Oh, you'll outlive us all." "Achnacroish is a breeding place for Methuselahs." " Look at Campbell." " Gardener's giving the Ceilidh." "Martin's invited." "Campbell's diamond wedding." "Quite a start on you, my dear." " I'll catch up." " I shall have to put in an appearance later on." " But bridge first." "Thank you." " Yes, bridge first." "Have you ever seen any highland dancing?" "No, never." "You ought to see our Oban gathering in peacetime." "Of course, it's not so big or famous and Braymar or Inverness, but it has its own quality." " You came through Oban?" " Yes." "The harbor was wonderful." "And that lovely green island." "Imagine it full of yachts, big and small." "And there's racing and highland games all day." "And at night..." "at night, they give a ball." "You can't imagine what a wonderful sight it is." "The assembly rooms are all hung with special hangings in dark red." "And the women wear tiaras, those that have them." "Oh, the place blazes with jewels." "The men..." "The men are more splendid than the women." "With their velvet doublets and scarlet waistcoats," "Their lace, cuffs and jabots." "Their buttons of gold and silver, their cairngorms." "Their buckle shoes and their filibegs of every shade and color." "And the pipes play, and we dance." "We dance all night... till the sun shines through the curtains." "Lovely." "What does filibeg mean?" "The kilt." "It really means "the little kilt" as worn nowadays." "Now, what about bridge?" "Joan doesn't play." " Do you play, Mr. MacNeil?" " Oh, I'm sorry, no." " I can't see from here." " You can see more from the ladder." "Do you mind going up a little further?" "One, two, three, four." "One, two, three, four." "Martin, it's Scottish, not a minuet." "Three pipers." "They must've come over from the mainland." "Oh, that was fine." "Do you think you could dance the Scottish?" " I think so." " Good." " I suppose we ought to go back now." " Oh, no hurry." "Friends and neighbors, I ask a hundred thousand blessings on my father and mother." "They're 60 years married this day." "Peace and happiness be with them." "The pride of the great Clan Campbell." "# The Campbells are coming Hurrah, hurrah #" "# The Campbells are coming Hurrah, hurrah #" "# The Campbells are coming Hurrah, hurrah #" "# The Campbells are coming Hurrah, hurrah #" "# The Campbells are coming Hurrah, hurrah #" "Speech!" "Speech!" "Come on, Mr. Campbell." "Well... no, no, no, no." "How about you and I going outside and having a little ceilidh on our own?" "A ceilidh!" " I went down to Erraig this morning." " I know." " I went into Moy Castle." " Did you?" " Shall I tell you what it's like inside?" " Yes, please." "It's just as you told me in the story." "I saw the hall where MacNeil feasted... and the dungeon and the thickness of the wall." "It's awful." "And on the ramparts at the top, there's a stone" " With a curse written on it." " You've been inside." "No, but I was young once." "I had a nanny." " No!" " Mm-hmm." " Anyway, I've read it." " It's a terrible strong curse." " Terrible." " Leave me alone." " Now you know why a MacNeil dreads to enter the castle." " No!" "No!" "No!" " Careful." " Yes, yes, yes." "Campbell, don't be silly." "It's only you I love." " You do?" " Yes." "Come and get it!" " Buns?" " Aye." "Excuse me, but is you not MacNeil of Kiloran?" " Yes, and you'll be a Campbell." " John Campbell of Kiloran." "I must tell my father that you're here." "You'll do nothing of the sort." "A MacNeil at a Campbell ceilidh." "Hey!" "Wait a minute now!" "Allister." "That's a fine song." ""Naught Brown Maidens." Do you know it?" "Tune up, boys!" "It goes, "A Rome and a brown maiden." ""A ream and a brown maiden." "Row, row, row, maiden." "You are the maid for me."" "Kiloran!" "Is that yourself, sir?" "Is this the way to treat an old friend on the day of his diamond wedding?" "We didn't want to intrude, Mr. Campbell." "Here's length of good life to you and Mrs. Campbell." "Thank you indeed, Kiloran." "Intrude, is it?" "You and your lady must come in and meet Mrs. Campbell." " Torquil, I must go." " You can't go now." "It's going to be a grand ceilidh, just grand." "It's very good of you, but Kiloran knows I must get back." "Kiloran knows nothing of the sort." "You must see the dancing." "But I saw perfectly well from here, thank you." "You've seen nothing yet, milady." "We've got three pipers." "Three of'em, just by luck." "They were ordered by the rich man on Kiloran." "Just by luck, they couldn't get." "It was the gale stopped them." "Cheer up." "They are your pipers." "How do you do, Mrs. Campbell?" "This is Miss Webster." " Good night." " Excuse me, miss." "And you, sir." "May I be allowed to say that you were the best dancers at the ceilidh." "Thank you, Martin." "Please, please, God." "You know how important it is for me to get to Kiloran." "Please... let the gale drop... or let me get to the island somehow." "Please." "Please." " Morning, Bridie." " Hello, Kiloran." "Hello, Kenny." " Good morning, Miss Webster." " Wind's backing a bit." "Uh-huh." "It's not blowing near so hard." "Oh, yes, tomorrow we'll be crossing to Kiloran, or maybe the day after." " But not today?" " Himself is going to Tobermory by the bus to see the dentist." " Tooth aching this morning?" " No, but if he doesn't go now, there's no saying when the next gale will be." "It's only then himself has the time." "Saw you at the ceilidh." "How old are you, Bridie?" " I'll be 17." " You'll be marrying soon." "When the right man comes along." " How old are you, Kenny?" " Eighteen." "Getting on." "Not thinking of taking a wife?" "Oh, I'll be called up soon." "But anyway, I'd have to wait another three or four years." " Or even more." " Why is that, Kenny?" " It takes money to get married." " How much?" "Twenty pounds." " Himself is asking that for half a share in the boat." " Who's himself?" " Ruairidh Mhor." " Father." "I should have thought he would've given you a share as a wedding present, Kenny." "If Kenny can buy half, he'll get the other half for nothing, right enough." " Good day to you, milady." " Good day." " Good day to you, Kiloran." " I wish it was." "Oh, it will be." "Yes, yes, it will be." "Oh, yes, yes, indeed it will be." "Yes, yes, it will be." "Of course, I am not saying it is not blowing as much as it was, but it is near the end of it." "Indeed, it is just like the sun, milady." "It seems always biggest just before it sets." " A poet, Ruairidh, boy." " Do you think we can cross today?" "No, no, no, milady, no." "Well, will you stand by in case it drops?" "I'll pay you for your time, of course." "You said it might blow down." "It's very important." "I must get across." "I'll pay you anything you ask." "I will take you to Kiloran as soon as it is humanly possible, milady, and I will not be wanting extra payment for that." "We'll be up at the house." "And I will be in Tobermory." "Fine doings indeed." "That girl is so foolish." "She's a woman already." " Who is it?" " The islanders." " Oh, stay to lunch." "Rabbit." "Colonel's doing it." " Good." " Hello, Joan." " Hello." "Hello." " Torquil." " Yes?" "Will you do me a very great favor?" "Yes." "Will you help me to get to Kiloran?" "If I had a fair-sized boat." "But I haven't even a small one." "But Ruairidh would listen to you." "If you asked him, he'd try to get me there." " Besides, you're wasting your whole leave." " I don't mind." "Yes, you do." "You love Kiloran." "You haven't been there for years." "I don't mind." " You won't ask him?" " No." "You don't understand." "It's his job to take us across..." "his duty, if you like." "If he could, he would." "Can't you wait till tomorrow?" "I can't ask him to risk his life or yours." "He's been out in a gale often enough." " If a ship was in danger..." " It's different when people are in danger and need help." "Yes, but..." "What?" "I want help desperately." "Do you think it will blow out tomorrow?" " I don't think so." " Do you think there will be a lull?" "Great news." "Congratulate me, young lady." "Torquil the eagle is found." "His good name's cleared." "It was a fox killing the lambs." "A shepherd saw it." " The old boy's safe and sound." " Found." "I'm off there after lunch with a lure." "By gad, I hope I get him back." "You coming?" "I'd like to." "What about you?" "We'll be back by tea time." "I think I'll stay here." "Any sign of your godson, Torquil?" "No." "But I can see something else." "So that's it." "There ought to be a law about trees." "You know, Torquil..." "Pot him." "Please, ma'am, I'd like to be speaking to Miss Webster." " Bridie wants to speak to you." " What is it, Bridie?" "It's about the boat, miss." "Don't be thinking of taking it out, miss." " Himself will murder Kenny." " Nonsense." "I'll look after your father." "Anyway, Kenny's a man." "He's taken out the boat alone many times." "But never in a gale!" "Himself would never take it out." "But it's blowing out." "Your father said so." "It's going down all the time." " Himself would never take it out today." " What about the money?" "Do you want to wait another four years to marry him?" "Well, I would, then, if it has to be." "Some folks there are can't be waiting a day to satisfy their passions." "What are you saying?" "Some folks there are want to drown fine young men and break poor girls' hearts... so that they can be wedded one day sooner!" " You'd better get out!" " I'll get out when I please." "Who are you to be giving orders, you that come to this city... with your airs and graces and your heart of stone?" "Why should you think that our lives don't matter at all... and that yours is so important?" "But you don't understand." "Bridie, don't cry." "You think that I'm risking Kenny's life when I could stay safely here." "But I'm not safe here." "I'm on the brink of losing everything I ever wanted." "What do you think you're doing?" "I'm off to take Miss Webster to Kiloran." "You're off to losing Ruairidh's boat and drowning." "Don't be a fool, Kenny." "How much did she pay you?" "Twenty pounds." "Now who's the fool?" "I'll make it up to you." "Come on, boy." "Give her back her dirty money." "Ah, Kiloran, I can't do it." "I promised." "She made me promise, and that's the truth of it." " Oh, Kiloran!" " Where's Miss Webster?" "She's in the flat." "Please, Kiloran, don't let her be taking Kenny." " Go on, say something." " I will." "Are you a complete fool?" "Well?" "How dare you speak to me like that?" "Is it not enough that you've been told that you cannot sail today?" "Ruairidh said it was going down." "Kenny said so too." "What do you expect Kenny to say?" "You bought him!" " There's no need to shout!" " Why, the lad has never seen £20 in his life." "If you must commit suicide, why can't you do it in Manchester?" "Don't shout at me!" "You're insulting!" " And stop bothering about me!" " What about Kenny?" " Well, what about him?" " What about Bridie?" "What about the crew?" "What about their wives?" "What about their children?" "Do you think I'm standing here wasting time over you?" " I'm not interested in your reasons." " Are you not?" "Are you interested in anything but yourself?" "I do know how to mind own business!" "That won't carry you far on this island or on Kiloran." "You can have this island, and you can have Kiloran!" "Fine!" "Then you won't be in any hurry to get there." "You can't think you know more about these waters than Ruairidh." "Why do you think he refused to take you?" "Because he's stubborn?" "Because he wanted to go to the dentist." "Oh, go ahead, then!" "And drown yourself!" " You heard, I suppose." " They heard you in Tobermory." " Torquil." " Mm-hmm?" " They'll never make it." " What do you expect me to do?" "Lock her in her room?" "She'd only jump out the window." "She doesn't realize the danger." "And you're the last person to stop her." "I?" "She's running away from you!" "Say that again." "Hold on there!" "Give me that case." "Are you the praying type?" " Sometimes." "Are you?" " Always." "If we can stay on our course and right side up, we've got a chance." "Aren't we on our course?" "Every mile nearer Kiloran, we're two miles nearer Scaba." " Is that dangerous?" " Yes." " Why?" " Corryvreckan." "The whirlpool." "You never finished the story about the Norwegian prince." "You said that two ropes broke." "What happened to the one made from the hair of faithful maidens?" "It held until the tide turned." "Nothing is stronger than love." "No, nothing." " Feeling sick?" " Oh, no." "No, I'm all right." "Go on." "But one maiden was untrue to her lover." "Only one." "And when that strand broke, the whole rope broke with it." "Kiloran!" "Get down under the hood and hang on!" "Don't worry about that!" "Get under!" "Look out!" "Hang on!" "Ohh!" "My dress!" "Don't mess about!" "Bail!" "This is the way to bail!" "Engine's washed out." "I've gotta take it apart." " What can I do?" " Keep bailing." "And pray." "Keep it up." "Clean that." "Corryvreckan." "Get the cover!" "Hurry up." "If I can get it started before the tide turns, we've got a chance." "Tide's still with us." "We'll do it yet." "Now!" "Pray!" "Your credit must be good in heaven." "They know a good prayer when they hear one." "So, you're back!" "Big strong man." "Off and bed." "There's a fire in my room, and that's where you'll sleep." "My dear chap, my very dear chap, you've missed the experience of a lifetime!" " Have I?" " You certainly have." "While you've been messing about, a new chapter has been written in the history of falconry." " Oh, you've got him back." " Ah, listen to this." "He was up on the warren and came to the lure like a lamb..." "like a hawk, I mean." "Then MacGillivray suggest a hunt for this fox that's been killing the lambs." "So we went off, and, by gad, we found the fox, and by Jimmy Christmas, he caught it!" " Caught it?" "Who?" " Torquil!" "Torquil the hunter." "Torquil the fox hunter!" "Stooped at the blighter as though it was a rabbit." "Killed him stone dead." "Here he is." "God fox." "£20 of his allowance." "I'm gonna have the brush mounted for you, Torquil." "Now what have you got to say?" " Where is he?" " There, over the door!" "Isn't he a pippin?" "Torquil, come on!" "Wah, loo-loo-loo!" "Tally-ho!" "Get onto him!" "You must think I'm awful." "I don't think anyone's awful." "Not even when I'm breaking my neck to marry a rich man?" "Oh, what's wrong with that?" "I thought you didn't care about money." "Who says so?" "I'd swim to Oban for £10." "Glasgow for 20." "And what about Torquil?" "He'd do it for 15." "Oh." "But I thought that you and Rebecca Crozier and Torquil... were perfectly happy without money." "What else can we do?" "Well, you could sell Erraig, and Rebecca could sell Achnacroish... and Torquil could sell Kiloran." "Yes." "But money isn't everything." "Now go to sleep." "Thank you." "Good night, Catriona." "And if you count the beams, your prayers will come true." "I'm not praying tonight." "Now, Torquil, onto your perch." "That's it." "Torquil, you greedy swine!" "Get..." "Get off!" "I can't do anything with my hair." "I wonder what happened to my wedding dress." "A mermaid will marry in it." "How is Kenny this morning?" "Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth." "He's helping Ruairidh with the boat." "And who's to Kiloran?" "Not the colonel." "He's got his eagle back." "Not Kiloran." "The only persons I can see... are you and three pipers." " Is the boat coming?" " Yes, it's coming." "I'd better go down and meet him." "Always the little lady doing the right thing." "I'm sorry." "I can't change myself." "You're all right as you are." "Bye-bye, Mrs. Potts." "I'm for the bus." "Good-bye, Catriona, and thank you for everything." "Will you do something for me?" "It depends." "I don't care where or when, but somewhere, sometime, will you have the pipers play "A Rome and a Brown Maiden"?" "It might be done." "Will you do something for me before I go away?" "It depends." "I want you to kiss me." "Now, Mr. Torquil, I've told you a thousand times." "Once upon a time, hundreds of years ago," "MacNeil of Kiloran took a beautiful wife from the mainland." "But she was in love with a cousin of hers, a MacLaine who held Moy Castle." "After a year and a day, when her husband was away ravaging the mainland, she escaped from Kiloran... and took refuge in Moy Castle with her lover." "One black night, Kiloran came." "He besieged and took the castle... and killed every soul except the two lovers." "There's a deep dungeon just off the back of the great hall." "It's a well with nine feet of water in it... and a rounded stone... just big enough for a man to stand upon... or drown." "Kiloran stripped the two lovers, chained them together... and threw them into the dungeon." "He sat in the great hall... feasting upon them while they held one another... above the water till their strength failed... and they dragged one another down." "Before she died, the woman cursed Kiloran... and every future MacNeil of Kiloran... if they should ever cross the threshold of the castle." "There's the curse... carved in stone on the ramparts." "There to this day." "It's a terrible strong curse." "It goes..." ""This is the curse of Catriona MacLaine of Erraig." ""My curse on MacNeil of Kiloran..." ""and every MacNeil after him." ""If he shall ever cross the threshold of Moy, never shall he leave it a free man. "" " Hi!" " Hi!" "I was lying to you." "I'd rather swim in the sea than in a swimming pool." "I know." "And I'd rather catch salmon in my own stream, if somebody would teach me how." "I know." "And I'd rather see Ruairidh Mhor not have the hell I've raised." "I was lying to you too." " I'm not really afraid of this place." " I know." ""Never shall he leave it a free man." ""He shall be chained to a woman till the end of his days... and he shall die in his chains.

"(music playing)" "Man's voice:" "People talk about fate... how everything happens for a reason." "But I never believed that." "I can't find a single reason why I deserve a second chance." "Today is the day that I die." "(soft sobbing)" "Slide it away." "I said fucking slide it away now." "Nighty night, asshole." "(screams)" "Go!" "Fuck!" "Fuck!" " (sobbing)" " I need you to call 9-1-1." "Tell them Detective Callahan's in pursuit." "No, don't leave me." "He's done this before." "I'm not going to let him do it again." "Call it in!"

"He was keeping mementos." "Mm-hmm." "You want to rattle his cage?" " Nah, give it to Scanlon." " (chuckles)" "You afraid you might blow it?" "I just thought if you drop the ball," "I'm in reserve to clean it up." " Sorry, what was that?" " Lieutenant," "District Attorney asked Loughlin to sit in on this one." " Is it true?" " Randall McAlister." "14 years on the job." "Have you notified Internal Affairs?" "(laughs)" "Our collar, our case." "Yeah, it's best to keep these things in-house." "Make it airtight." " Airtight?" " Go get 'em, Sluggo." "So, you got a thing for brunettes, huh?" "Look what we found." "Look at that." "You know what?" "It's late, I'm tired, and I got to go walk my dog, so why don't you just keep this really simple, okay?" "You plead guilty to six counts of sexual assault in the first degree to be served consecutively, and we'll spare your family the embarrassment of a trial." "Or option number two, he could plead down to six lesser charges, to be served concurrently in a minimum-security facility." "Scanlon:" "Wow, you got some balls there, Counselor." "For 14 years, my client was an exemplary member of this police department, so why would he hypothetically go astray?" " Who gives a shit?" " Where the hell is this going?" "About a year ago, my client's wife of 10 years left him." "Busted my ass for that woman." "Gave her everything she ever wanted." "So you married an ungrateful bitch." "Wow." "Welcome to the club." "After his wife abandoned him, my client divulged his extreme feelings to your department shrink." "News flash, asshole." "He didn't rape his wife." "Didn't he?" "Lieutenant:" "Jesus." "All the women look like his ex-wife." "Six women sexually assaulted by a police officer, and you could have prevented it?" "Fallout's going to be immeasurable." "Only if it becomes public knowledge." "Wait a minute." "Captain, you're not seriously thinking of cutting a deal with this piece of shit, are you?" " Take a breath." " What do you think I was doing?" "You need to take a deep breath and think long and hard about what course of action is best for the preservation of this department's reputation." "For once, Detective." "Girl:" "Well, anyways, mm-hmm, yeah." "Oh, my God, so we had such an awesome time." "Well, I asked her, but she said she had to think about it." "Yeah, really." "So who else is going?" "Is Mark going to be there?" "He's okay, I guess." "Why, did he say something about me?" "Hold on a second, Jenny." "What?" "Who's Mark?" "Just a boy from school." "Five minutes." "Okay." "Bye." "Sorry." "That was my dad." "He's like, "Who's Mark?"" "(laughs) So, anyway-- so did he say anything about me?" "Hi." "Did you just talk to Lanie?" "Yeah." "Who's Mark?" "It's just a boy." "Mm-hmm." "How you feeling?" "Tired." "(dispatch radio chatter)" "(siren whooping)" " (gunshot) - (grunts)" "(winces)" "Captain:" "Do you believe in fate?" "I thought I did." "It's a beautiful family." "You got a lot to be thankful for." "If I were you," "I'd consider myself the luckiest man on the planet." "Wipe the slate." "Oh, that guy who saved you..." "What about him?" "You tell me." "He was the only witness to what really went down." "I don't remember anything about him." "Really?" "Ah, well." "Too bad." "Been meaning to come see you." "Cal, the church isn't just for the bad times." "Yeah, I know." "What about your nightmares?" "Yeah, still having those." "I don't know, Father." "I disrespected the woman that I love, violated my oath to protect and serve." "Just don't know why I got a second chance." "Or who've I got to thank for that chance." "This good Samaritan," "I'm sure the good Lord will cross your paths someday." "I hope so." "Are you still drinking?" "No." "I've been sober for almost two years, ever since the shooting." "Can't tell you I'm not craving it, though." " (rock n' roll playing)" " Woman:" "Hey, I mean it." "(overlapping conversations)" "David Callahan?" "Yeah?" "You don't remember me?" "No." "How would I know you?" "My name is Sergei, Sergei Dronov." "I'm sorry." "How do we know each other?" "We met once before on the corner of Water and Frontage." "(gunshots)" "(coughs)" " Man:" "Hey!" " (gunshots)" "Hey!" "Hang in there, buddy." "You're going to be just fine." "My wife, tell her I'm sorry." "Tell her yourself, okay?" " (police siren blaring)" " Please." "You hear those sirens?" "They'll be here any second." "Just hold on, okay?" "So why'd you leave?" "You just vanished." "I didn't know who you were or what you were involved in." "I went on TV." "I was begging for somebody to come forward." "Where I come from, it is best not to get involved with the police." "I didn't even tell my wife about what happened that night." "So why now?" "Because of this." "(telephone rings)" "Yeah?" "LaRussa." " Hey, Lieu, it's Cal." "You busy?" " No." "What's up?" "I just got into a little fender bender." "You all right?" "I'm fine." "Hey, I lost the guy's business card, though." "You got a name?" "His name was Sergei Dronov." "Hold on." "What?" "Say it again." "Sergei Dronov." "Dronov." "D-R-O-N-O-V, I think." "Yeah, I got it." "I got an address." "It's 423 Gladstone." "Phone number also." "You want it?" "Sergei:" "I didn't even tell my wife about what happened that night." "(door clattering)" "(dog barking)" "Sergei:" "My daughter Zhanna..." "I found this journal when I was cleaning out her apartment." "Will you help me?" "(Zhanna's voice overlapping) I've got to get a job." "The scholarship isn't enough to support me."

"What happens if we walk away from this thing?" " He gets a free pass." " You know what, Nick?" "I don't think you can see this now, but honestly this is the best solution available." " Okay?" " What about me?" "Huh?" "What about my family?" "Suck it up." "Be a man." "Be a Marine." " Fuck you." " You fucking come back here." "Get your fucking ass here, and you understand this simple concept." "Before you start engaging in stinking thinking, just remember this." "If I go down, you will be the one to break my fall and then fuck your family." "See you at the party." " Royce Walker." " I know you?" "No, you don't know me, but I know you." "Take it." "There's plenty more where that came from." "What the fuck do you want?" "How much money you want to spend?" "So what do you think?" "Scottsdale?" "I don't even know where that is." "Nobody else does either." "I can't afford this." "Walker will never let me go." "Let me worry about him." "All right?" "(patrons whistle, cheer)" "Zhanna." "Zhanna." "Ah, no." "God damn it!" "No." "No." "Baby, no." "I owned her just like I own you." "(sobs)" "(kisses)" "Walker:" "He's a regular just like you used to be." "Pull the strings and watch them dance." "He's in my house right now." "(footsteps)" "Should ask for Lieutenant LaRussa." "You tell him everything he needs is downstairs." " (knock on door)" " Lieutenant." "You're not going to believe this." "Eh, probably not." "You can try." "So I couldn't get a clean print off the gun we found next to Logue's body, but I was able to pull a latent off of one of the shells inside the clip." "So now tell me you got a match." "Better." "We've already got this guy in lockup." "You're right." "I don't believe you." "Told you." "(chuckles)" "(groans)" "Callahan's voice:" "I've done a terrible thing." "There's no going back." "That's why today is the day that I die." "But I'm going to make it right... so I'm not going alone." "What are you doing?" "Uh..." "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry, Alex." "I never meant to hurt you or Lanie." "You got to believe me." "Why are you saying that?" "I love you both with all my heart." "Whatever happens to me... you tell her that, okay?" "Okay?" "(cellphone buzzes)" "Hey, Brogan." "Callahan, found a couple matches on that journal you dropped off." "We had to fume it, but besides yours, we found one belonging to Royce Walker." "I know." "Thanks." "Who's got your piece, Oleg?" "I don't own one." " Oh." " I do not believe in violence." "I doubt your girlfriend would agree with that." "All right, listen to me very carefully, you fucking douche bag." "A cop was shot last night, and your gun was involved." "A cop?" "I guess somewhere a saint just got his wings." " Oh, whoa, whoa." " That's all you got?" "No, no, no." "He's got a lot more than that." "So maybe it's time you stopped cracking wise and answered the question." "You don't get it." "You get three hots and a cot for doing your old lady." "That's easy time." "But for killing a cop" "How the fuck could I kill a cop while I'm here?" "Think about it." "LaRussa:" "Oleg, let me teach you a new word." ""Conspiracy."" ""Conspiritzia."" "That's close enough." "Doesn't matter if you pulled the trigger, just so you knew what the gun was being used for, so let's try again." "Where's your gun?" "Where's your gun?" "Where's your fucking gun?" "!" "Captain." "I'll take it from here." "Sure." "We'd like to sit in." "That won't be necessary." "Go, go." "(clears throat)" "Was I unclear, Lieutenant?" "Scanlon:" "Fucking commie." "You know what a risk-benefit ratio is?" "Do you know what that means?" "It's like a negotiation." "And do I have the deal of a lifetime for you." "Good." "Dispatch, this is Five-Lincoln-12." "Go ahead, Five-Lincoln-12." "Over." "I'm at 1175 Fulton." "Shots fired." "Officer down." "All patrols, respond." "We have a 10-0-0 at 1175 Fulton." "Immediate backup." "(gunfire)" "Hey, Walker!" "You had to get rid of Logue, huh?" "Why me?" "Why did it have to be me?" "I remember watching you on TV begging your savior to come forward so you could thank him in person." "It was touching." "Then I started to wonder." "What if that journal had a different ending?" "What would happen if your savior came back into your life and you had the chance to repay him?" "How far would you go, Cal?" "Pull the strings." "Watch them dance." "Okay." "Okay, that's good." "Take a hike." "Thank you." "Maybe I should get a lawyer present." "I have a sworn affidavit here from Oleg Emelyanenko." "It states that Royce Walker found out Logue was an undercover officer and ordered a hit on him." "You discovered this information in the course of your investigation, and when you went to confront Walker, he and his men reacted in a life-threatening manner." "You had no choice but to use deadly and justifiable force." "And the rest just gets swept under the rug, right, Captain?" "No one cares." "I care." "Just sign it like you did before." "Not this time." "I will never grasp... the extent of your ingratitude." "You know, you talk about protecting the integrity of the department." "The only thing you've ever concerned yourself with is covering your own ass." "Don't you turn your back on me, you self-righteous little prick." "You keep your mouth shut, or I will fucking bury you, Callahan." "You hear me?" "!" "Callahan:" "People talk about fate... how everything happens for a reason." "But I never believed that." "I disrespected the woman that I love." "I violated my oath to protect and serve." "I couldn't find a single reason why I deserve a second chance." "Until now." "Let's go home."

"I got a split-level packin' crate goin' up, every boot's been shined within an inch of its life... and that ox over there is two years behind in its fertilizer orders." " Which one is pregnant, sir?" " Oh, he's here for the flip side, Henry." "Judge Advocate General." "Uh, Lieutenant Harper, this is Captain Pak, R.O.K." "And this is Lieutenant Mulcahy, G-O-D." "Well, let's get crackin'." "Major, I certainly do appreciate the swift and decisive manner... in which you attacked this matter."

"[Chuckles] Well, many thanks again." "Hey, you're my kind of fella." "Hey, maybe we can get together sometime." "You know, I have a feeling that we're very much alike." "What?" "I beg your pardon!" "I'm a married man!" "I've got kids... and everything." "No, I won't call you again, and don't you ever call me!" " Major." " Hmm?" " Well, I got results, even if you didn't, Colonel." " Fine, Frank, fine." " Don't you wanna hear about my call?" " One disaster at a time, Frank." "Right now we have to find out whether to buy a card for Radar this Father's Day." "If we were in the navy, I'd have you flogged." "Colonel, if you don't mind, I'd like to interview the complainant first." " Radar." " [Baby Gurgling]" " Radar." " [Baby Gurgling]" "You're dismissed until your presence is re-required." " Where should I go?" " Try out." " Out?" " Out, Radar, as in "not in."" "Oh, that out." "Now, this is the statement which bears your signature." "You first met Corporal Radar O'Reilly on 15 September." "All right." "The party's over." "Repeat, the party is over." "Comprende?"

" [Scoffs]" " Frank, the next field is a minefield." "They'll have to plow it with a tweezer." "Frank, your head needs work." "Look, Pierce." "I appreciate the unfairness... of this entire unfortunate unfairness." "I mean, no one hates this war better than I do." "Why don't we leave it to the army to do the right thing?" "I mean, they've been in this war business a long time." "Frank, they are not going to board that truck!" "Until we know where they're going." "Captains do not order majors!" "It's all my fault." "I failed him." " You're not his father, Henry." " No, as commanding officer." "Sam, have you ever heard me give the camp a sex orientation lecture?" " No." " Oh, man!" "I really get the joint rocking." "A kid like Radar gets worked up awful easy." "Save me a couple of seats for the next one." " Colonel." " Yo." " I'm ready to talk to the corporal now." " You got it." "Stop the presses, Henry!" " Everything all right?" " Oh, just fine." "We just finished typing the blood." "Corporal O'Reilly has blood type "B."" "For proof, I refer you to his egg-encrusted dog tags." "The mother has blood type "O," and the aforeborn baby has blood type "A."" "Radar is no more the father of that child than Trapper here." " I have blood type "B." - [Harper] Colonel, who are these gentlemen, please?" "Oh, this is Captain Pierce." "This is Captain Mclntyre." " This is Lieutenant Harper, Judge Advocate General." " Are you men doctors?" " Only when the moon is full." " And will you sign and attest to that blood report?" " Oh, absolutely." " Positively." "We're not only brilliant surgeons, we were once arrested for notarizing in public." "Same sad story, fellas." "The real G.I. Father left her." "She's not ostracized by her family." "Radar was kind enough to give her a lift one day, and instead of a thank-you note, she gave him the baby." " Sir!" " Radar." "Sir, I thought it over, and I was lying before when I said the baby wasn't mine." " It's hers, mine and ours." " Radar." "No!" "You guys wouldn't know me when I was in town." "I mean, I remember that night 'cause I took a shower." "I was wearin' my paratrooper scarf with nothing on underneath." "I had maybe two beers, and I was looking for trouble." "I wanted to get a tattoo, but the guy had printed "Mother" so much, he'd run out of ink." "I was taking the jeep back, saw her hitching a ride and stopped." "And, uh, I'd rather not say anything more in front of the baby." "Radar." " [Horn Honking]" " Oh, Judas Priest, what now?" "[Horn Honking]" "You're one." "You're two." "You're three." "Gimme that!" "You're four." "You're five." "You're six." " Frank, what's going on?" " They're being relocated in the south... with some other lucky refugees." " Anything else I can do?" " You can go with them." " Just for six months." " Yeah, till they get settled." "Oh, go jump in the lake!" "Why, Radar?" "Do you remember when she first came around and I said that I do, but I didn't?" "Mm." "Well, I didn't because I don't, and I never." "But I sure liked the way it felt when everybody thought I did." "You will." " You think?" " Oh." "Here you are, my children." "Just a little something to read on the trip." "If you have any questions, they've got branch offices all over." "Eh, she'll be okay, Radar." "She's got a family again." "All right, Dennis." "So long." "Bye-bye." "Good-bye." "Bless you." " Hi, Radar!" " You talking to me?" "Who are you going to go to the movies with tonight?" " Wear the paratrooper scarf." " Worked before."

"It doesn't matter." "Donovan's on the table." "If we do nothing, he dies." " Antonio, how long?" " Two hours." "Keep him under." " I've never seen that adhesion pattern." " What's it binding to it?" "I don't know." "But it's definitely attaching to the high-growth regions." "Let's do it." ".751, 1.25." " Syringe is loaded." " Give it." "Manny, give me light." "Lowering." " Injecting." " Injection at 23:57." " 23:57." " Good boy, Donovan." "Good boy." " What's up?" " My ring." " What ring?" " My wedding ring." " Where'd you leave it?" " Right there, where I always put it." " Someone must've knocked it on the ground." " Tommy, may I have a word with you?" " One second." " What are you doing?" " It's my ring." "I put it there." " It's gotta be here." " I need to talk to you." " Don't worry about it." "We'll find it." "Tommy..." " I'm concerned." " What?" "I saw Betty in the hall." "She was hysterical." "You've been running sloppy surgeries." " Nonsense!" " You injected an untested compound." "He was open." "We were about to put him down." "NIH could shut us down." "I should shut you down for it." "You're reckless and you're losing perspective." "Look, why don't you just take a few days at home." "Spend a little time with Izzi." "I'm here for her." "Izzi." "Izzi?" "Iz?" "Izzi?" "Izzi." "Izzi!" "Izzi!" " Tommy?" " Isabel!" "That's funny." "Very funny." "What are you doing?" "I'm..." "I'm stargazing." "I found it in the attic." " Come on in." "It's freezing." " I want you to see something." "Come on." "You're an old fart." "OK." "OK." "Go on." "Look." " You see it?" " The gold star?" "It's actually a nebula wrapped around a dying star." "That's what makes it look gold." "What?" " I took science." " When?" "Junior high." " The Mayans called it Xibalba." " Xibalba?" "It was their underworld." "The place the dead souls go to be reborn." "What?" "What are you talking about?" "My book." " I'm writing about it." " I thought it took place in Spain." "It begins there." "Ends there." "Are you done?" " Almost." " Good." "When do I read it?" "Someday soon it will explode, die, and give birth to new stars." "How amazing that the Mayans chose a dying star to represent their underworld." "Of all the healthy points of light in the sky, how did they find one that was dying?" "Where are your shoes?" "Izzi!" "Come on, come on." "Let's warm you up." "Whoa, whoa." "Careful." "OK." "I'll get it." "Careful." "Iz?" "Stop." "No!" "Get inside." "Serves you right." "Is she a redhead?" "What?" "I left it in Surgery." "If you can't wait, you can't wait." "I'm joking." " I'll make some coffee." " Wait." "The sponge." "I want you to heat it." "Outside, before, you couldn't feel the cold." "Tommy." " I'm calling Dr Lipper." " No!" "I'm afraid." "Jesus, I'm sorry." " It's been happening for a while." " What?" " I'm losing sensitivity to hot and cold." " Why didn't you tell me?" "Because I feel different inside." "I feel different." "Every moment." "Each one." "Tommy?" "Oh, Jesus." "Look, don't worry." "Don't worry." "All right?" "I'm here." "I will always be here." "I know." "Yes, I know, Iz." "Got you." " Hello?" " Alan?" "Tommy." " Tommy." " What's the earliest you can make tomorrow?" " Let me check my schedule." " It's time for you to read it." " Three?" "I'm in Surgery till then." "Is it urgent?" " No, no." "That's fine." "Thanks, Alan." "Bye." " We're going to see him tomorrow." " Start it." "Tell me what you think." " But it's not done." " Not quite." "Don't answer it." " Hello?" "Antonio, what's wrong?" " Can you get down here?" " What is it?" " Donovan." " Is he OK?" " He's perfectly fine." " What's happening?" " You won't believe me." "You've got to see for yourself." "Come right away." "No, I can't now." "I can't." " To Donovan!" " What's going on?" " Show him." " I came to check up on Donovan." " Where is Donovan?" " That's him." "What?" "It can't be." "He's almost healed." "There's hair growth." " I didn't believe it either." " Antonio had me run some tests." "Donovan responded well." "Really well." "I pulled up videos of him pre-op." "He's testing twice as well." "We're seeing an increase in neural activity in all areas usually stunted by ageing." " And the tumour?" " No change." "The growth patterns are normal." "There's no positive or negative effect." " We should tell Dr Guzetti right away." " No!" "No." "Antonio, prep a new cocktail." "Stick with the same substance." "What?" " We're moving forward." " Wait." "But this could be a medical first." "A revelation!" "We've gotta pursue it and duplicate the findings." "We can monitor synaptic growth, but our focus is tumours, not ageing." " I know, but..." " I want the next subject ready for surgery." " Is everything all right?" " Yes." "Everything's all right." "Inquisitor?" "Enter." "The heretics." "They have confessed and ceded their lands to your holy office." "They await yourjudgment." "Yet another slice of her nation is mine." "Soon she will be powerless against me." "Queen of nothing but her sins." "What will you do with her?" "She too will confess, and then she too will die." "Captain. 'Tis the queen." "She is surrounded." "The inquisitor demands blood." "Then there is no more time." "What is our response?" "Go now." "Warn the queen." " And you?" "Where are you going?" " He must be cut out." " She has forbidden it." " There is no other choice." "This is our only hope." "Stay." "Stay." "Our bodies are prisons for our souls." "Our skin and blood, the iron bars of confinement." "But fear not." "All flesh decays." "Death turns all to ash, and, thus, death frees every soul." "You, the condemned, you have confessed." "You admit to protecting a queen who twists the word of God and drowns all Spain in sin." "Your queen seeks immortality on Earth - a false paradise." "This is heresy." "She leads you towards vanity, away from the spirit." "But this is foolishness, for death exists." "The Day of Judgment is irrefutable." "All life must be judged." " Why are you here?" " Come quickly." " Leave." "Protect the queen." " She sent me." "She demands your return." " Not before he dies." " No, Tomas." "Leave him." "She desires a private audience." "But fear not." "She will not be in hell alone." "I will make sure her servants are waiting for her." "Faithful servant, why do you cry?" "To see Spain brought so low, with an enemy thriving within her borders, feasting on her strength." "The shame is too much." "I've failed her." "Dare not pity Spain." "These times are dark, but every shadow, no matter how deep, is threatened by morning light." "Of course." "This loyalty of yours inspires you to protect Spain at any cost," "but killing the inquisitor is suicide." "Europe would have my head." "I, for one, am not ready to die yet." "Are you?" "I will die for Spain." "I know, Conquistador." "I know." "And this bravery of yours, it may save us yet." "For Spain has a plan." "There is hope." " There's hope?" " Father." "I am Father Avila of her royal Franciscan order." "Our allegiance remains with Spain." "Father." "Guards, leave us." "Conquistador," "I am going to tell you the true reason why the inquisitor pits cross against crown." "One year ago, Father Avila returned from the jungles of New Spain with a secret so great, it promised to free all mankind from tyranny." "Spain desired this treasure above all things, but the inquisitor feared it with equal measure." "When I refused to give up my quest for it, he responded with this violent coup to bring Spain to her knees." "But we have not yielded, and now we will defeat him." "This is our hope." " A dagger?" " Used in religious rituals." "I took it from a dead Mayan priest." "The marking on the hilt..." "Do you see it?" "It is a map." "A map to the Mayans' greatest secret." "Greater than Chichen Itzá, greater than Yaxchilán, greater even than Tikal." "Here, in the centre, in the core of the once-great Mayan civilisation, we will find a lost pyramid." "No." "Not lost." "Hidden." "The hidden pyramid of the Mayan myths." "The myths tell us of a holy pyramid, built upon the navel of the Earth, the birthplace of life." "A special tree sprouts there." "They say whoever drinks of its sap will live forever." "Eternal life?" "Spain hangs at the whims of a merciless enemy and you taunt us with yarns?" "They are not yarns." "Remember, our own Bible confirms it." "In Genesis, there are two trees in the Garden of Eden - the Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life." "When Adam and Eve disobeyed the Lord and ate from the Tree of Knowledge, the Lord banned them from the garden and hid the Tree of Life." "Could it be?" "Could it be?" "Kneel, Conquistador." "Let in the morning light." "The beast runs amok in my kingdom." "He has isolated me, and now he is sharpening his talons for one more fateful push." "But salvation lies in the jungles of New Spain." "Will you deliver Spain from bondage?" "Upon my honour and my life." "Then you shall take this ring to remind you of your promise." "You shall wear it when you find Eden, and when you return," "I shall be your Eve." "Together, we will live forever." "Iz?" "Izzi?" " There you are." " Hey, what are you doing here?" " Babe, we have Lipper at three." " This is an actual Mayan book." "Look." "It explains their creation myth." "You see, that's First Father." "He's the very first human." "Is he dead?" "He sacrificed himself to make the world." " The Tree of Life's bursting out of his belly." " Come on." "Listen." "His body became the tree's roots." "They spread and formed the Earth." "His soul became the branches, rising up, forming the sky." "All that remained was First Father's head." "His children hung it in the heavens, creating Xibalba." "Xibalba?" "The star." "Nebula." " So what do you think?" " About?" "That idea." "Death as an act of creation." "Stay together, guys." "I'll pull out the car and meet you in front." "Iz." "Iz!" " Tommy." " Hey." "Tommy." "You're all right." " I'm close." " No." "There are options." " We'll have to make some choices." " Alan?" "You had a minor seizure." "The growth in your brainstem's back and it's growing faster." " The next time..." " No!" "No." "We had a breakthrough." "I know I can translate it to help you." "I just need a little more time, OK?" "There's hope." "There's real hope." " Tommy." " What?" "What, baby?" " I wasn't afraid." " I know." "You're very strong." "No." " No." " What?" "When I fell" "I was full." "Held." "I know." "I caught you." "I held you." "It's OK, Iz." "Everything's gonna be all right." "There's time." "We have time." "We need to examine the hippocampal region." " What the hell's going on?" " I brought in Dean Katari and Dr..." "I'm sorry, what are you doing here?" " Antonio and Betty were just showing me..." " Donovan's synaptic growth increased." "His brain is identical to scans from 12 years ago, when he was six." "And the tumour?" " Exactly." "Please?" " Tommy..." "Please!" "Perhaps you should wait for me in my office." "Manny." "I'll be right there." " Thomas, I'd like a word with you in private." " After surgery." "First cut." "Tommy." "Dr Lipperjust called." "He said Izzi's doing better and they're gonna move her to a regular floor in the morning." "When we're done here, I want you to prep Cain." "I'll get her." "She'll take care of it." "What do you think you're doing?" "You don't abandon results like that." "You repeat the procedure, get a confirmation." "Confirmation that the tumour's unaffected?" "She'll be dead by then." "Tommy." "She had a seizure." "I'm so sorry." " How's she doing?" " She's stable." "Who's with her?" " She's alone?" " She needs to rest." "No one invents new drugs overnight." "No one!" "You're not being rational." " You can't fix everything!" " Don't tell me what I can do." " Your wife needs you." "Why are you here?" " Why the fuck do you think I'm here?" "Shit." "I'll leave you two alone." "Lilly, I'm sorry about before." "She's amazing." "Lillian, could... could you have Henry re-scan the animals for me?" " OK." " Thanks." " Hey." " Hey." "I brought your manuscript in case you want to work." "How are you feeling?" "Good." "I'm sorry." "What about?" "There's been progress at work." "My conquistador." "Always conquering." " No." "Something amazing." "We tested..." " That's for you." "It's for me?" "What is it?" "Open it." "Pen and ink." "For writing." "It's all done except the last chapter." "I want you to help me." "How?" "Finish it." "Finish it." " I don't know how it ends." " You do." "You will." "Stop." " Remember Moses Morales?" " Who?" " The Mayan guide I told you about." " From your trip?" "The last night I was with him, he told me about his father who had died." " But Moses wouldn't believe it." " Izzi!" "No, no." "Listen." "Listen." "He said if they dug his father's body up, he would be gone." "They'd planted a seed over his grave." "The seed became a tree." "Moses said his father became part of that tree." "He grew into the wood, into the bloom." "And when a sparrow ate the tree's fruit, his father flew with the birds." "He said death was his father's road to awe." "That's what he called it." "The road to awe." "Now," "I've been trying to write the last chapter and I haven't been able to get that out of my head." "Why are you telling me this?" "I'm not afraid any more, Tommy." "I asked Lilly if I could be buried at her farm." "No, stop it!" " I want you to be with me." " I am with you." "Look." "I'll always be with you." "I promise." "Will you stay with me tonight?" "Yeah." "I'll stay." "I'll stay." "Don't worry, we're almost there." "Through that last dark cloud is a dying star." "And soon enough, Xibalba will die." "And when it explodes, you will be reborn." "You will bloom." "And I will live." "Don't worry." "We're almost there." "Thank you, Lord!" "We are here!" "Circles." "He leads us in circles." "Only we are left." "All of your countrymen are dead." "He killed them all with this blind quest." "It's time." "Time to stop him." "Captain, we are lost." "The Franciscan and his tales are false." "There is no hope for us here." "There's only death." " I've mapped us a course back to the ships." " Coward." "Damn the maps!" "We're close and I will find it." "Captain!" "Captain!" "Captain!" "Father." "What is it, Franciscan?" "In the jungle..." "The marking on the hilt." " On the dagger?" " It is the same." "The same as on the stone." "Your choice - die now or, by my side, fight and live." " You fool." " Captain!" "Father." "Take it." "We are here." " Where?" " The temple is there." "Sorry, Father." "For you, there is only death." "But our destiny is life." "You shall wear it when you find Eden, and when you return, I shall be your Eve." "Iz!" "Iz!" "Come on, come on, come on!" "Oh, no." "Please!" "Please!" " Step aside." " She's in V-fib." "Pulse thready." " I'm bagging." "Sir!" "Sir!" " Izzi!" "Izzi!" " Get the family out." "Get him out!" " Sir, please!" " Pads." " Charging." " Pulse?" " Thready." "Pressure?" "Oh, God." "Tommy." "I know." "I know." "I've never seen anything like it." " Antonio didn't reach you?" " What?" "It's Donovan." "The growth is shrinking." "It's like the disease is cured." "Izzi." "Izzi!" "Izzi!" " No, no, no, no!" " Sir." "Please, sir." "Sir!" "Sir, it's too late." "I'm going to have to ask you to leave." " Sir, it's too late." " You killed my wife!" " Get off him!" "Let go!" " Let go!" "No." "No." "No!" "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" "Don't die!" "Don't die!" "Don't die!" "Don't die!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "It seems to me that we struggle all our lives to become whole." "Complete enough when we die to achieve a measure of grace." "Few of us ever do." "Most of us end up going out the way we came in, kicking and screaming." "But somehow Izzi, young as she was, she achieved that grace." "In her last days she became whole." "She saw her..." "Tommy!" " Tommy..." " Just stop it!" "Death is a disease." "It's like any other." "And there's a cure." "A cure." "And I will find it." "No!" "All these years." "All these memories." "There's been you." "You..." "You pulled me through time." "Dr Creo?" "Dr Creo, we heard you were back." "Update me on everything we know about that tree." "Every detail." "I'm OK." "Everything's fine." "The Donovan breakthrough's our starting point." "It's a starting point." "Right, let's build on it." "Stop ageing, stop dying." "Stop dying, that's our goal." "Scans." "Cultures." "Charts." "Let's get to work." "Come on, let's get to work." "Xibalba." "We're here." "We almost made it." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Finish it." "Stop it." "Stop it!" "What do you want?" "Leave me!" "Leave me alone!" "Please, please." "I'm afraid." "Will you deliver Spain from bondage?" "I don't know." "I'm trying." "I don't know how." "You do." "You will." "You do." "You will." "I'm not afraid any more, Tommy." "I'm gonna die." "I'm going to die." "Together we will live forever." "Forever." "Forever." "Forever." "We will live forever." "Finish it." "OK." " What are you doing here?" " Take a walk with me." " I have to work." " It's the first snow." "We always..." "They're waiting on me." " Come on, Tommy." " Please, Izzi." "I'm sorry." "I am." "I'll see you tonight, OK?" "Izzi." "Hey!" "Dr Creo." "Antonio's on his way back." "Donovan's open and ready." "His vitals are steady." "Come on." "Let's go." "Dr Creo, where are you going?" "Izzi!" "Izzi." "No!" "Finish it." "Behold." "My queen." "Now and forever." "We shall be together." "Bye, Iz." "I finished it." "Is everything all right?" "Yes." "Everything's all right."

"I can sense your cowardly Ki loud and clear." "Goku had his eyes attacked by San Xing Long, the dishonorable older brother who butted his way into the fight." "To his surprise, Si Xing Long, who was a worthy opponent, offered to postpone their battle to a later date, when Goku's injuries would be healed." "However..." "You're pathetic if you're unable to defeat a single wounded monkey." "Times Ten Ka..." "Me..." "Ha..." "Me..." "Ha!" "Just so you know, I'm alive and kicking." "He killed his own fellow dragon, Si Xing Long, without any difficulty." "Further, launching back a Times ten Kamehame-Ha," "Goku's most powerful technique," "Yi Xing Long had appeared as Goku's final opponent." "Goku was facing his greatest crisis!" ""Commence Counterattack!" "Surpass Super Saiyan 4"" "Son Goku, the long history of your claim as the most powerful warrior in the universe has finally seen its last day." "There's no longer any need for me to deal with you directly." "Goodbye." "Dad!" "W- what?" "You sure do have a rough way of saving people, huh?" "Oob?" "Sorry." "It all happened so abruptly." "These Ki..." "Goten and Oob?" "It's a good thing I didn't leap to your rescue." "If I had leapt, I would have been blown away by Oob!" "But still, thank goodness we were in time." "Father, sorry we're late." "Trunks... and Gohan..." "are you all here?" "Papa!" "Everybody!" "Pan-chan, you can't go getting in everyone's way!" "Grandpa Satan..." "Mama and Grandma, you too?" "We came to see Goku fighting' for ourselves!" "With Shen Long having' become the enemy, everything's one godforsaken mess." "If Goku-sa loses, then the earth, ourselves, and everythin' else is done for!" "At this point, Goku-sa, the only thing to be done is to get you to win!" "So you all came to help me?" "Thanks, guys." "But still, even if you were to all gang up on him..." "No, we know that." "Much as I hate to say it, we're well aware that even if we were to gang up on him, there isn't one chance in ten-thousand that we could win." "So then, what are you...?" "You're the only one who can beat him, Dad." "You're the only one who can save the earth, Dad!" "Goku-san, please use our Saiya power." "That's the reason why we came here." "You guys..." "What are you all babbling about?" "You see how disgraceful he looks, right?" "Do you really think that he has the power to save the earth?" "Yes, he does!" "Dad is the strongest man in the world-- no, in the entire universe!" "And as for the likes of you..." "Father, please make sure you beat him!" "I ain't Shen Long, so I can't make any promises, but I'll do everything I can!" "But I ain't going to make it with only part of your power." "I'm going to take all you've got!" "Well, well, Goku," "I wish I could wait for you to recover your power, but unfortunately, I hate that sort of futility." "Guys...!" "Trunks!" "It seems that my finishing you off will be delayed by just a little bit, huh?" "Just a little bit..." "Gohan!" "Big Brother!" "Papa!" "How do you like that?" "I'm in a completely different class than what you were thinking, right?" "Gohan-san!" "Stay back!" "You don't understand the reason I've come here, do you?" "Away with you, all together!" "I wiped them all out at collectively!" "Goku, your turn is next" "Sure enough, we did get saved by you, huh Dad?" "I just got a tiny bit of your Ki earlier." "Yi Xing Long, far from "just a little bit,"" "you've given us quite a bit of time, haven't you?" "I get it." "Instantaneous Movement, huh?" "So how much Ki have you gathered now?" "I'll show you right now!" "You made it!" "You're at full power!" "I don't mean to trouble you guys, but give me even more power!" "You can't mean it!" "That's crazy!" "If we go any greater than this, Dad, your body won't be able to take it!" "That may be so." "But if my Times Ten Kamehame-Ha has no effect on him," "I ain't going to be able to beat him without having power beyond this." "At this point, I want to go for broke, to see if I can overcome my own limits!" "Understood." "You always have been able to overcome them, haven't you, Dad?" "It won't do any good." "I won't let you have any more!" "It's too dangerous, Dad!" "Not yet!" "Dad!" "I don't care!" "Release all of your power!" "Unfortunately, I have no time for this." "Come at me, all of you together!" "No way!" "You'll have to face me!" "Even if it means my life," "I will not let you interfere with Goku-san!" "Do you think you can obstruct me with that puny life of yours?" "Don't you mock me!" "Get lost, scum!" "That's far enough, Goku." "Why, you...!" "E- even if it's only a second, I will buy time for Goku-san!" "Miserable brat...!" "Die!" "Goku-san..." "Worm!" "Now then, I'm done playing around." "I'm going to bring the fight to you!" "Dad...!" "Incredible...!" "He's take his max power as Super Saiyan 4 and extended it even further!" "And so, ultra-full-power Saiyan 4 is complete." "Quit your bluffing!" "How are you any different than you were earlier?" "You'll see what's different once you fight me." "Don't you toy with me!" "What's the matter?" "Why, you...!" "It's no use." "Even though I ain't able to see," "I can still feel your Ki, and dodge you by a hairsbreadth!" "What!" "?" "I told you, it's no use." "Dammit...!" "I am going to make sure you pay!" "Damn it all!" "No matter where you hide, your evil Ki gives you away." "It's lucky for me that your sight has not returned, huh Goku?" "You may be able to tell my actions, but you cannot see this thing move, can you?" "It has no Ki, after all." "What do you mean to do?" "Be cut to pieces!" "How worthless..." "Unfortunately, my ears are extremely sharp." "W- what kind of guy are you!" "?" "Yi Xing Long, go apologize to Si Xing Long in the Other World!" "Ka... me... ha... me..." "HA!" "You did it!" "Goku-sa!" "Dad!" "He did it!" "That's our Goku-san!" "He did it, huh?" "He did it!" "Goku-sa, you did well!" "That was cool!" "You sure got him, huh Father?" "Yeah, thanks to you all." "Don't be so modest, Grandpa!" "Yeow, Pan!" "Ah, come to think of it, where are the Dragon Balls?" "Oh, that's right." "They got scattered over around there." "Lucky!" "A Dragon Ball!" "H-hey now, wait up!" "What's going on?" "Yi Xing Long!" "You mean, you withstood that!" "?" "Impressive, Goku." "I'm angry at myself for underestimating you." "But that stops now." "You're kidding!" "He ate the Dragon Ball!" "Behold!" "This is my true form, which stands above all other Evil Dragons!" "T-the Dragon Balls...!" "I don't believe it!" "H-he's powered up beyond comparison!" "Behold my overflowing power!" "All of the power from the previous six Evil Dragons that you fought is now mine!" "What?" "All of it up to now?" "What's this?" "Yi Xing Long, having taken all the Dragon Balls inside his body, has been revived!" "Perhaps not even Goku, who has powered"

"I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor." "Go back to the Shadow." "The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn!" "You shall not pass!" "No!" "No!" "Gandalf!" "Fly, you fools." "No!" "Gandalf!" "Gandalf!" "What is it, Mr. Frodo?" "Nothing." "Just a dream." "Mordor." "The one place in Middle-earth we don't want to see any closer." "And it's the one place we're trying to get to." "It's just where we can't get." "Let's face it, Mr. Frodo, we're lost." "I don't think Gandalf meant for us to come this way." "He didn't mean for a lot of things to happen, Sam but they did." "Mr. Frodo?" "It's the Ring, isn't it?" "It's getting heavier." " What food have we got left?" " Let me see." "Oh, yes." "Lovely." "Lembas bread." "And look!" "More lembas bread." "I don't usually hold with foreign food but this Elvish stuff, it's not bad." "Nothing ever dampens your spirits, does it, Sam?" "Those rain clouds might." "This looks strangely familiar." "It's because we've been here before." "We're going in circles." "What is that horrid stink?" "I warrant there's a nasty bog nearby." " Can you smell it?" "Yes." "I can smell it." "We're not alone." "The thieves." "The thieves." "The filthy little thieves." "Where is it?" "They stole it from us." "My precious." "Curse them, we hates them!" "It's ours, it is, and we wants it!" "This is Sting." "You've seen it before haven't you, Gollum?" "Release him or I'll cut your throat." "It burns!" "It burns us!" "It freezes!" "Nasty Elves twisted it." " Take it off us!" " Quiet, you!" "It's hopeless." "Every Orc in Mordor's going to hear this racket." " Let's just tie him up and leave him." " No!" "That would kill us!" "Kill us!" "It's no more than you deserve!" "Maybe he does deserve to die." "But now that I see him, I do pity him." "We be nice to them if they be nice to us." "Take it off us." "We swears to do what you wants." "We swears." "There's no promise you can make that I can trust." "We swears to serve the master of the precious." "We will swear on on the precious." "Gollum." "Gollum." "The Ring is treacherous." "It will hold you to your word." "Yes on the precious." "On the precious." "I don't believe you!" " Get down!" "I said, down!" " Sam!" "He's trying to trick us." "If we let him go, he'll throttle us in our sleep." " You know the way to Mordor?" " Yes." "You've been there before?" "Yes." "You will lead us to the Black Gate." "Merry!" "What is it?" "What do you smell?" "Man-flesh." "Aragorn." "They've picked up our trail." "Let's move!" "Their pace has quickened." "They must have caught our scent." "Hurry!" "Come on, Gimli!" "Three days and nights pursuit." "No food." "No rest." "And no sign of our quarry, but what bare rock can tell." "Not idly do the leaves of Lórien fall." "They may yet be alive." "Less than a day ahead of us." "Come." "Come, Gimli!" "We're gaining on them!" "I'm wasted on cross-country." "We Dwarves are natural sprinters." "Very dangerous over short distances." "Rohan." "Home of the Horse-lords." "There's something strange at work here." "Some evil gives speed to these creatures." "Sets its will against us." "Legolas!" "What do your Elf-eyes see?" "The Uruks turn northeast." "They are taking the Hobbits to Isengard." "Saruman." "The world is changing." "Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard and Mordor?" "To stand against the might of Sauron and Saruman and the union of the two towers?" "Together, my Lord Sauron we shall rule this Middle-earth." "The Old World will burn in the fires of industry." "The forests will fall." "A new order will rise." "We will drive the machine of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fists of the Orc." "We have only to remove those who oppose us." "The Horse-Men took your lands." "They drove your people into the hills to scratch a living off rocks." "Murderers!" "Take back the lands they stole from you." "Burn every village!" "It will begin in Rohan." "Too long have these peasants stood against you." "But no more." "Éothain!" "Éothain!" "You take your sister." "You'll go faster with just two." "Papa says Éothain must not ride Garulf." "He is too big for him." "Listen to me." "You must ride to Edoras and raise the alarm." " Do you understand me?" " Yes, Mama." "I don't want to leave." "I don't want to go, Mama." "Freda, I will find you there." "Quickly!" "Go, child." "Rohan, my lord is ready to fall." "Théodred." "Your son is badly wounded, my lord." "He was ambushed by Orcs." "If we don't defend our country, Saruman will take it by force." "That is a lie." "Saruman the White has ever been our friend and ally." "Gríma." "Gríma." "Orcs are roaming freely across our lands." "Unchecked." "Unchallenged." "Killing at will." "Orcs bearing the White Hand of Saruman." "Why do you lay these troubles on an already troubled mind?" "Can you not see?" "Your uncle is wearied by your malcontent your warmongering." "Warmongering?" "How long is it since Saruman bought you?" "What was the promised price, Gríma?" "When all the Men are dead, you will take your share of the treasure?" "Too long have you watched my sister." "Too long have you haunted her steps." "You see much, Éomer, son of Éomund." "Too much." "You are banished forthwith from the kingdom of Rohan under pain of death." "Keep breathing." "That's the key." "Breathe." "They've run as if the very whips of their masters were behind them." "We're not going no further until we've had a breather." "Get a fire going!" "Merry!" "I think we might have made a mistake leaving the Shire, Pippin." "What's making that noise?" "It's the trees." "What?" "You remember the Old Forest, on the borders of Buckland?" "Folk used to say there was something in the water that made the trees grow tall and come alive." "Alive?" "Trees that could whisper talk to each other even move." "I'm starving." "We ain't had nothing but maggoty bread for three stinking days." "Yeah!" "Why can't we have some meat?" "!" "What about them?" "They're fresh." "They are not for eating." "What about their legs?" "They don't need those." " They look tasty." "Get back, scum!" "Carve them up!" "Just a mouthful." "No!" "Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys." "Pippin." "Let's go." "Go on." "Call for help." "Squeal." "No one's going to save you now." "Pippin!" "A red sun rises." "Blood has been spilled this night." "Riders of Rohan what news from the Mark?" "What business does an Elf, a Man and a Dwarf have in the Riddermark?" "Speak quickly!" "Give me your name, horse-master, and I shall give you mine." "I would cut off your head, Dwarf if it stood but a little higher from the ground." "You would die before your stroke fell." "I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn." "This is Gimli, son of GIóin, and Legolas of the Woodland Realm." "We are friends of Rohan and of Théoden, your king." "Théoden no longer recognizes friend from foe." "Not even his own kin." "Saruman has poisoned the mind of the king and claimed lordship over these lands." "My company are those loyal to Rohan." "And for that, we are banished." "The White Wizard is cunning." "He walks here and there, they say as an old man hooded and cloaked." "And everywhere, his spies slip past our nets." "We are no spies." "We track a party of Uruk-hai westward across the plain." "They have taken two of our friends captive." "The Uruks are destroyed." "We slaughtered them during the night." "But there were two Hobbits." "Did you see two Hobbits with them?" "They would be small." "Only children to your eyes." "We left none alive." "We piled the carcasses and burned them." "Dead?" "I am sorry." "Hasufel!" "Arod!" "May these horses bear you to better fortune than their former masters." "Farewell." "Look for your friends." "But do not trust to hope." "It has forsaken these lands." "We ride north!" "It's one of their wee belts." "We failed them." "A Hobbit lay here." "And the other." "They crawled." "Their hands were bound." "Their bonds were cut." "They ran over here." "They were followed." "The belt!" "Run!" "Tracks lead away from the battle into Fangorn Forest." "Fangorn?" "What madness drove them in there?" "Did we lose him?" "I think we lost him." "I'm going to rip out your filthy little innards!" "Come here!" "Trees." "Climb a tree." "He's gone." "Merry!" "Let's put a maggot hole in your belly!" "Run, Merry!" "Little Orcs." "It's talking, Merry." "The tree is talking." "Tree?" "I am no tree!" "I am an Ent." "A tree-herder." "A shepherd of the forest." "Don't talk to it, Merry." "Don't encourage it!" "Treebeard, some call me." "And whose side are you on?" "Side?" "I am on nobody's side because nobody's on my side, little Orc." "Nobody cares for the woods anymore." "We're not Orcs!" "We're Hobbits!" "Hobbits?" "Hmm." "Never heard of a Hobbit before." "Sounds like Orc mischief to me!" "They come with fire." "They come with axes." "Gnawing, biting, breaking, hacking, burning!" " Destroyers and usurpers!" "Curse them!" " No!" "You don't understand." "We're Hobbits!" "Halflings!" "Shire-folk!" "Maybe you are and maybe you aren't." "The White Wizard will know." "The White Wizard?" "Saruman." "See?" "See?" "We've led you out." "Hurry, Hobbitses." "Hurry!" "Very lucky we find you." "Nice Hobbit." "Oh!" "It's a bog." "He's led us into a swamp." "A swamp, yes, yes." "Come, master." "We will take you on safe paths through the mist." "Come, Hobbits!" "Come!" "We go quickly." "I found it." "I did." "The way through the marshes." "Orcs don't use it." "Orcs don't know it." "They go around for miles and miles." "Come quickly." "Soft and quick as shadows we must be." "There are dead things!" "Dead faces in the water." "All dead." "All rotten." "Elves and Men and Orcses." "A great battle long ago." "Dead Marshes." "Yes." "Yes, that is their name." "This way." "Don't follow the lights." "Oh." "Careful now!" "Or Hobbits go down to join the dead ones and light little candles of their own." "Frodo!" " Gollum?" " Don't follow the lights." "Gollum!" " Mr. Frodo!" "Are you all right?" "So bright." "So beautiful." "Our precious." "What did you say?" "Master should be resting." "Master needs to keep up his strength." " Who are you?" " Mustn't ask us." "Not its business." "Gollum." "Gollum." "Gandalf told me you were one of the river-folk." "Cold be heart and hand and bone Cold be travelers far from home" "He said your life was a sad story." "They do not see what lies ahead When sun has failed and moon is dead" "You were not so very different from a Hobbit once." "Were you?" "Sméagol." "What did you call me?" "That was your name once, wasn't it?" "A long time ago." "My name." "Sméagol." "Black Riders!" "Hide!" "Hide!" "Come on, Frodo." "Come on!" "Quick!" "They will see us!" "They will see us!" " I thought they were dead." " Dead?" "No, you cannot kill them." "No." "Wraiths!" "Wraiths on wings!" "They are calling for it." "They are calling for the precious." "Mr. Frodo!" "It's all right." "I'm here." "Hurry, Hobbits." "The Black Gate is very close." "Orc blood." "These are strange tracks." "The air is so close in here." "This forest is old." "Very old." "Full of memory and anger." "The trees are speaking to each other." "Gimli!" "Lower your ax." "Oh." "The White Wizard approaches." "Do not let him speak." "He will put a spell on us." "We must be quick." "You are tracking the footsteps of two young Hobbits." "Where are they?" "They passed this way the day before yesterday." "They met someone they did not expect." "Does that comfort you?" "Who are you?" "Show yourself!" "It cannot be." "You fell." "Through fire and water." "From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak I fought with the Balrog of Morgoth." "Until at last I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin upon the mountainside." "Darkness took me and I strayed out of thought and time." "Stars wheeled overhead and every day was as long as a life age of the Earth." "But it was not the end." "I felt life in me again." "I've been sent back until my task is done." "Gandalf." "Gandalf?" "Yes." "That was what they used to call me." "Gandalf the Grey." "That was my name." "Gandalf." "I am Gandalf the White." "And I come back to you now at the turn of the tide." "One stage of your journey is over." "Another begins." "War has come to Rohan." "We must ride to Edoras with all speed." "That is one of the Mearas unless my eyes are cheated by some spell." "Shadowfax." "He is the lord of all horses and has been my friend through many dangers." "My home lies deep in the forest near the roots of the mountain." "I told Gandalf I would keep you safe." "And safe is where I'll keep you." "The trees have grown wild and dangerous." "Anger festers in their hearts." "They will harm you if they can." "There are too few of us now." "Too few of us Ents left to manage them." "The Black Gate of Mordor." "Oh, save us." "My old Gaffer would have a thing or two to say if he could see us now." "Master says to show him the way into Mordor." "So good Sméagol does, master says so." "I did." "That's it, then." "We can't get past that." "Look!" "The gate." "It's opening!" "I can see a way down." "Sam, no!" "Master!" " I do not ask you to come with me, Sam." " I know, Mr. Frodo." "I doubt even these Elvish cloaks will hide us in there." " Now!" " No!" "No!" "No, master!" "They catch you!" "They catch you!" "Don't take it to him." "He wants the precious." "Always he is looking for it." "And the precious is wanting to go back to him." "But we mustn't let him have it." "No!" "There's another way." "More secret." "A dark way." " Why haven't you spoken of this before?" " Because master did not ask." "He's up to something." "Are you saying there's another way into Mordor?" "Yes." "There's a path and some stairs." "And then a tunnel." "He's led us this far, Sam." "Mr. Frodo, no." "He's been true to his word." "No." "Lead the way, Sméagol." "Good Sméagol always helps." "Edoras and the Golden Hall of Meduseld." "There dwells Théoden, King of Rohan whose mind is overthrown." "Saruman's hold over King Théoden is now very strong." "My lord, your son he is dead." "My lord?" "Uncle?" "Will you not go to him?" "Will you do nothing?" "Be careful what you say." "Do not look for welcome here." "Oh, he must have died sometime in the night." "What a tragedy for the king to lose his only son and heir." "I understand." "His passing is hard to accept." "Especially now that your brother has deserted you." "Leave me alone, snake!" "Oh, but you are alone." "Who knows what you've spoken to the darkness in the bitter watches of the night when all your life seems to shrink." "The walls of your bower closing in about you." "A hutch to trammel some wild thing in." "So fair." "So cold." "Like a morning of pale spring still clinging to winter's chill." "Your words are poison." "You'll find more cheer in a graveyard." "Ah." "I cannot allow you before Théoden King so armed, Gandalf Greyhame." "By order of Gríma Wormtongue." "Your staff." "You would not part an old man from his walking stick." "My lord, Gandalf the Grey is coming." "He's a herald of woe." "The courtesy of your hall is somewhat lessened of late Théoden King." "He's not welcome." "Why should I welcome you Gandalf Stormcrow?" "A just question, my liege." "Late is the hour in which this conjurer chooses to appear." "Láthspell I name him." "Ill news is an ill guest." "Be silent." "Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth." "I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm." "His staff." "I told you to take the wizard's staff." "Théoden son of Thengel too long have you sat in the Shadows." "I would stay still if I were you." "Hearken to me!" "I release you from the spell." "You have no power here Gandalf the Grey." "I will draw you, Saruman, as poison is drawn from a wound." "Wait." "If I go, Théoden dies." "You did not kill me you will not kill him." "Rohan is mine." "Be gone." "I know your face." "Éowyn." "Gandalf?" "Breathe the free air again, my friend." "Dark have been my dreams of late." "Your fingers would remember their old strength better if they grasped your sword." "I've only ever served you, my lord." "Your leechcraft would have had me crawling on all fours like a beast!" "Send me not from your sight." "No, my lord!" "No, my lord." "Let him go." "Enough blood has been spilt on his account." "Get out of my way!" "Hail, Théoden King!" "Where is Théodred?" "Where is my son?" "Simbelmynë." "Ever has it grown on the tombs of my forebearers." "Now it shall cover the grave of my son." "Alas that these evil days should be mine." "The young perish and the old linger." "That I should live to see the last days of my house." "Théodred's death was not of your making." "No parent should have to bury their child." "He was strong in life." "His spirit will find its way to the halls of your fathers." "They had no warning." "They were unarmed." "Now the Wild Men are moving through the Westfold, burning as they go." "Rick, cot and tree." " Where is Mama?" " Shh." "This is but a taste of the terror that Saruman will unleash." "All the more potent for he is driven now by fear of Sauron." "Ride out and meet him head-on." "Draw him away from your women and children." "You must fight." "You have 2000 good men riding north as we speak." "Éomer is loyal to you." "His men will return and fight for their king." "They will be 300 leagues from here by now." "Éomer cannot help us." "I know what it is you want of me but I will not bring further death to my people." "I will not risk open war." "Open war is upon you, whether you would risk it or not." "When last I looked Théoden, not Aragorn, was king of Rohan." "Then what is the king's decision?" "By order of the king the city must empty." "We make for the refuge of Helm's Deep." "Do not burden yourself with treasures." "Take only what provisions you need." "Helm's Deep." "They flee to the mountains when they should stand and fight." "Who will defend them if not their king?" "He's only doing what he thinks is best for his people." "Helm's Deep has saved them in the past." "There is no way out of that ravine." "Théoden is walking into a trap." "He thinks he's leading them to safety." "What they will get is a massacre." "Théoden has a strong will, but I fear for him." "I fear for the survival of Rohan." "He will need you before the end, Aragorn." "The people of Rohan will need you." "The defenses have to hold." "They will hold." "The Grey Pilgrim." "That's what they used to call me." "Three hundred lives of Men I've walked this earth, and now I have no time." "With luck, my search will not be in vain." "Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day." "At dawn, look to the east." "Go." "You have some skill with a blade." "Women of this country learned long ago:" "Those without swords can still die upon them." "I fear neither death nor pain." "What do you fear, my lady?" "A cage." "To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them." "And all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire." "You're a daughter of kings a shieldmaiden of Rohan." "I do not think that would be your fate." "Théoden will not stay at Edoras." "It's vulnerable." "He knows this." "He will expect an attack on the city." "They will flee to Helm's Deep the great fortress of Rohan." "It is a dangerous road to take through the mountains." "They will be slow." "They will have women and children with them." "Send out your Warg-riders." "Hey, stinker, don't go getting too far ahead." " Why do you do that?" " What?" "Call him names." "Run him down all the time." "Because." "Because that's what he is, Mr. Frodo." "There's naught left in him but lies and deceit." "It's the Ring he wants." "It's all he cares about." "You have no idea what it did to him what it's still doing to him." "I want to help him, Sam." "Why?" "Because I have to believe he can come back." "You can't save him, Mr. Frodo." "What do you know about it?" "Nothing!" "I'm sorry, Sam." "I don't know why I said that." "I do." "It's the Ring." "You can't take your eyes off it." "I've seen you." "You're not eating." "You barely sleep." "It's taken hold of you, Mr. Frodo." " You have to fight it." " I know what I have to do, Sam." "The Ring was entrusted to me." "It's my task." "Mine!" "My own!" "Can't you hear yourself?" "Don't you know who you sound like?" "We wants it." "We needs it." "Must have the precious." "They stole it from us." "Sneaky little Hobbitses." "Wicked." "Tricksy." "False." "No." "Not master." "Yes, precious." "False." "They will cheat you, hurt you, lie!" "Master's my friend." "You don't have any friends." "Nobody likes you." "Not listening." "I'm not listening." "You're a liar and a thief." "No." "Murderer." "Go away." "Go away?" "I hate you." "Where would you be without me?" "Gollum." "Gollum." "I saved us." "It was me." "We survived because of me." "Not anymore." "What did you say?" "Master looks after us now." "We don't need you." "What?" "Leave now and never come back." "No." "Leave now and never come back." "Leave now and never come back!" "We told him to go away." "And away he goes, precious." "Gone!" "Gone!" "Gone!" "Sméagol is free!" "Look." "Look." "See what Sméagol finds?" "They are young." "They are tender." "They are nice." "Yes, they are." "Eat them." "Eat them!" "You'll make him sick, you will behaving like that." "There's only one way to eat a brace of coneys." "What's it doing?" "Stupid, fat Hobbit." "It ruins it." "What's to ruin?" "There's hardly any meat on them." "What we need is a few good taters." "What's taters, precious?" "What's taters?" "Eh?" "Po-ta-toes." "Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew." "Lovely, big, golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish." "Even you couldn't say no to that." "Oh, yes, we could." "Spoil a nice fish." "Give it to us raw and wriggling." "You keep nasty chips." "You're hopeless." "Mr. Frodo?" "Who are they?" "Wicked Men." "Servants of Sauron." "They are called to Mordor." "The Dark One is gathering all armies to him." "It won't be long now." "He will soon be ready." " Ready to do what?" " To make his war." "The last war that will cover all the world in Shadow." "We've got to get moving." "Come on, Sam." "Mr. Frodo." "Look." "It's an oliphaunt." "No one at home will believe this." "Sméagol?" "We've lingered here too long." "Come on, Sam." "Aye!" "Bind their hands." "It's true, you don't see many Dwarf women." "And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance that they're often mistaken for Dwarf men." "It's the beards." "This, in turn, has given rise to the belief that there are no Dwarf women and that Dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground which is, of course, ridiculous." "GIMLl:" "It's all right." "Nobody panic." "That was deliberate." "It was deliberate." "The light of the Evenstar does not wax and wane." "It is mine to give to whom I will." "Like my heart." "Go to sleep." "I am asleep." "This is a dream." "Then it is a good dream." "Sleep." "Arwen..." "Where is she?" "The woman who gave you that jewel." "Our time here is ending." "Arwen's time is ending." "Let her go." "Let her take the ship into the west." "Let her bear away her love for you to the Undying Lands." "There it will be ever green." "But never more than memory." "I will not leave my daughter here to die." " She stays because she still has hope." " She stays for you." "She belongs with her people." "Why are you saying this?" "I am mortal." "You are Elf-kind." "It was a dream, Arwen." "Nothing more." "This belongs to you." "It was a gift." "Keep it." "My lord?" "She is sailing to the Undying Lands with all that is left of her kin." "What is it?" " Háma?" " I'm not sure." "Wargs!" "A scout!" " What is it?" "What do you see?" " Warg!" "We're under attack!" "Get them out of here!" "All riders to the head of the column." "GIMLl:" "Come on." "Get me up here." "I'm a rider." "Come on!" "You must lead the people to Helm's Deep, and make haste." " I can fight." " No!" "You must do this, for me." "Follow me!" "Hyah!" "GIMLl:" "Forward." "I mean, charge forward." "Make for the lower ground!" " That's it!" "Go on!" " Stay together!" "GIMLl:" "Bring your pretty face to my ax." "That one counts as mine!" "Stinking creature." "Aragorn!" "Aragorn?" "Tell me what happened and I will ease your passing." "He's dead." "He took a little tumble off the cliff." "You lie." "Get the wounded on horses." "The wolves of Isengard will return." "Leave the dead." "Come." "At last!" "Helm's Deep." "There it is, Helm's Deep." "We're safe!" "We're safe, my lady." "Thank you." "Mama!" "Éothain!" "Freda!" "Make way for Théoden." "Make way for the king." "So few." "So few of you have returned." "Our people are safe." "We have paid for it with many lives." "GIMLl:" "My lady." "Lord Aragorn where is he?" "He fell." "Draw all our forces behind the wall." "Bar the gate." "And set a watch on the surround." "What of those who cannot fight, my lord?" "The women and children?" "Get them into the caves." "Saruman's arm will have grown long indeed if he thinks he can reach us here." "Helm's Deep has one weakness." "Its outer wall is solid rock but for a small culvert at its base which is little more than a drain." "How?" "How can fire undo stone?" "What kind of device could bring down the wall?" "If the wall is breached, Helm's Deep will fall." "Even if it is breached, it would take a number beyond reckoning thousands, to storm the Keep." "Tens of thousands." "But, my lord, there is no such force." "A new power is rising." "Its victory is at hand." "This night the land will be stained with the blood of Rohan!" "March to Helm's Deep!" "Leave none alive!" "To war!" "There will be no dawn for Men." "Look." "There's smoke to the south." "There is always smoke rising from Isengard these days." "Isengard?" "There was a time when Saruman would walk in my woods." "But now he has a mind of metal and wheels." "He no longer cares for growing things." "What is it?" "It's Saruman's army." "The war has started." "May the grace of the Valar protect you." "Brego." "Arwen." "I have made my choice." "He is not coming back." "Why do you linger here when there is no hope?" "There is still hope." "If Aragorn survives this war, you will still be parted." "If Sauron is defeated and Aragorn made king and all that you hope for comes true you will still have to taste the bitterness of mortality." "Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time Aragorn will die." "And there will be no comfort for you no comfort to ease the pain of his passing." "He will come to death an image of the splendor of the kings of Men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world." "But you, my daughter you will linger on in darkness and in doubt as nightfall in winter that comes without a star." "Here you will dwell bound to your grief under the fading trees until all the world is changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent." "Arwen." "There is nothing for you here only death." "The power of the enemy is growing." "Sauron will use his puppet, Saruman to destroy the people of Rohan." "Isengard has been unleashed." "The Eye of Sauron now turns to Gondor the last free kingdom of Men." "His war on this country will come swiftly." "He senses the Ring is close." "The strength of the Ring-bearer is failing." "In his heart, Frodo begins to understand the quest will claim his life." "You know this." "You have foreseen it." "It is the risk we all took." "In the gathering dark, the will of the Ring grows strong." "It works hard now to find its way back into the hands of Men." "Men, who are so easily seduced by its power." "The young captain of Gondor has but to extend his hand take the Ring for his own, and the world will fall." "It is close now." "So close to achieving its goal." "For Sauron will have dominion over all life on this Earth even unto to the ending of the world." "The time of the Elves is over." "Do we leave Middle-earth to its fate?" "Do we let them stand alone?" "What news?" "Our scouts report Saruman has attacked Rohan." "Théoden's people have fled to Helm's Deep." "But we must look to our own borders." "Faramir, Orcs are on the move." "Sauron is marshaling an army." "Easterlings and Southrons are at the Black Gate." " How many?" " Some thousands." "More come every day." " Who's covering the river to the north?" " We pulled 500 men at Osgiliath." "If their city is attacked, we won't hold it." "Saruman attacks from Isengard." "Sauron from Mordor." "The fight will come to Men on both fronts." "Gondor is weak." "Sauron will strike us soon." "And he will strike hard." "He knows now we do not have the strength to repel him." "My men tell me that you are Orc spies." "Spies?" "Now wait just a minute." "Well, if you're not spies, then who are you?" "Speak." "We are Hobbits of the Shire." "Frodo Baggins is my name, and this is Samwise Gamgee." "Your bodyguard?" "His gardener." "And where is your skulking friend?" "That gangrel creature." "He had an ill-favored look." "There was no other." "We set out from Rivendell with seven companions." "One we lost in Moria two were my kin a Dwarf there was also." "And an Elf and two Men." "Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and Boromir of Gondor." "You're a friend of Boromir?" "Yes." "For my part." "It will grieve you then to learn that he is dead." "Dead?" "How?" "When?" "As one of his companions, I'd hoped you would tell me." "He was my brother." "Captain Faramir!" "We found the third one." "You must come with me." "Now." "Down there." "To enter the Forbidden Pool bears the penalty of death." "They wait for my command." "Shall I shoot?" "The rock and pool Is nice and cool" "So juicy sweet" "Our only wish To catch a fish" "So juicy sweet" "Wait." "This creature is bound to me." "And I to him." "He is our guide." "Please let me go down to him." "Sméagol." "Master is here." "Come, Sméagol." "Trust master." "Come." "We must go now?" "Sméagol, you must trust master." "Follow me." "Come on." "Come." "Come, Sméagol." "Nice Sméagol." "That's it." "Come on." "Don't hurt him!" "Sméagol, don't struggle." "Sméagol, listen to me." "Master!" "No!" "No!" "Where are you leading them?" "Answer me." "Sméagol." "Why does it cry, Sméagol?" "Cruel Men hurts us." "Master tricksed us." "Of course he did." "I told you he was tricksy." "I told you he was false." "Master is our friend." "Our friend." "Master betrayed us." "No." "Not its business." "Leave us alone!" "Filthy little Hobbitses!" "They stole it from us!" "No." "No." "What did they steal?" "My precious!" "We have to get out of here." "You go." "Go, now." "You can do it." "Use the Ring, Mr. Frodo." "Just this once." "Put it on." "Disappear." "I can't." "You were right, Sam." "You tried to tell me but..." "I'm sorry." "The Ring's taking me, Sam." "If I put it on he'll find me." "He'll see." "Mr. Frodo..." "So this is the answer to all the riddles." "Here in the Wild I have you two Halflings and a host of men at my call." "The Ring of Power within my grasp." "A chance for Faramir, captain of Gondor to show his quality." "No!" "Stop it!" "Leave him alone." "Don't you understand?" "He's got to destroy it!" "That's where we're going, into Mordor." "To the Mountain of Fire!" "Osgiliath is under attack." "They call for reinforcements." "Please." "It's such a burden." "Will you not help him?" "Captain?" "Prepare to leave." "The Ring will go to Gondor." "He's alive!" "Where is he?" "Where is he?" "Get out of the way!" "I'm going to kill him!" "You are the luckiest, the canniest and the most reckless man I ever knew." "Bless you, laddie." "Gimli, where is the king?" "You look terrible." "A great host, you say?" " All Isengard is emptied." " How many?" "Ten thousand strong at least." "Ten thousand?" "It is an army bred for a single purpose:" "To destroy the world of Men." "They will be here by nightfall." "Let them come!" "I want every man and strong lad able to bear arms to be ready for battle by nightfall." "We will cover the causeway and the gate from above." "No army has ever breached the Deeping Wall or set foot inside the Hornburg!" "This is no rabble of mindless Orcs." "These are Uruk-hai." "Their armor is thick and their shields broad." "I have fought many wars, Master Dwarf." "I know how to defend my own keep." "They will break upon this fortress like water on rock." "Saruman's hordes will pillage and burn." "We've seen it before." "Crops can be resown homes rebuilt." "Within these walls we will outlast them." "They do not come to destroy Rohan's crops or villages." "They come to destroy its people down to the last child." "What would you have me do?" "Look at my men." "Their courage hangs by a thread." "If this is to be our end, then I would have them make such an end as to be worthy of remembrance." "Send out riders, my lord." "You must call for aid." "And who will come?" "Elves?" "Dwarves?" "We are not so lucky in our friends as you." "The old alliances are dead." " Gondor will answer." " Gondor?" "!" "Where was Gondor when the Westfold fell?" "!" "Where was Gondor when our enemies closed in around us?" "!" "Where was Gon...?" "No, my Lord Aragorn we are alone." "Get the women and children into the caves." "We need more time to lay provisions..." "There is no time." "War is upon us." "Secure the gate." "We Ents have not troubled about the wars of Men and wizards for a very long time." "But now, something is about to happen that has not happened for an age." "Entmoot." "What's that?" "'Tis a gathering." "A gathering of what?" "Beech." "Oak." "Chestnut." "Ash." "Good." "Good." "Good." "Many have come." "Now we must decide if the Ents will go to war." "Move back!" "Move to the caves!" "Keep moving." "Quickly now." "Farmers, farriers, stable boys." "These are no soldiers." " Most have seen too many winters." " Or too few." "Look at them." "They're frightened." "You can see it in their eyes." "Aragorn." "Then I shall die as one of them!" "GIMLl:" "Let him go, lad." "Let him be." "Every villager able to wield a sword has been sent to the armory." "My lord?" "Who am I, Gamling?" "You are our king, sire." "And do you trust your king?" "Your men, my lord will follow you to whatever end." "To whatever end." "Where is the horse and the rider?" "Where is the horn that was blowing?" "They have passed like rain on the mountains." "Like wind in the meadow." "The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into Shadow." "How did it come to this?" "Move!" "Move to the outer wall." "Give me your sword." "What is your name?" "Haleth, son of Háma, my lord." "The men are saying that we will not live out the night." "They say that it is hopeless." "This is a good sword." "Haleth, son of Háma there is always hope." "We have trusted you this far." "You have not led us astray." "Forgive me." "I was wrong to despair." "We had time, I'd get this adjusted." "It's a little tight across the chest." "That is no Orc horn." "Send for the king." " Open the gate!" "Open up the gate!" "How is this possible?" "I bring word from Elrond of Rivendell." "An alliance once existed between Elves and Men." "Long ago we fought and died together." "We come to honor that allegiance." "You are most welcome." "We are proud to fight alongside Men once more." "GIMLl:" "You could have picked a better spot." "Well, lad, whatever luck you live by, let's hope it lasts the night." "Your friends are with you, Aragorn." "Let's hope they last the night." "ARAGORN" " What's happening out there?" " Shall I describe it to you?" "Or would you like me to find you a box?" "So it begins." "Did they hit anything?" "Give them a volley." " Fire!" " Fire!" "Send them to me!" "Come on!" "Good!" "Swords!" "Swords!" "Legolas!" "Two already!" "I'm on 17!" "Huh?" "I'll have no pointy-ear outscoring me!" "Nineteen!" "Merry." "We have just agreed." "Yes?" "I have told your names to the Entmoot and we have agreed you are not Orcs." "Well, that's good news." "And what about Saruman?" "Have you come to a decision about him?" "Now, don't be hasty, Master Meriadoc." "Hasty?" "Our friends are out there." "They need our help." "They cannot fight this war on their own." "War?" "Yes." "It affects us all." "But you must understand, young Hobbit it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish and we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say." "Seventeen!" "Eighteen!" "Nineteen!" "Twenty!" "Twenty-one!" "Twenty-two and 23!" "Causeway!" "Is this it?" "Is this all you can conjure, Saruman?" "Brace the gate!" "Hold them!" "Stand firm!" "Aragorn!" "Gimli!" "The Ents cannot hold back this storm." "We must weather such things as we have always done." "How can that be your decision?" "!" "This is not our war." "But you're part of this world!" "Aren't you?" "!" "You must help." "Please." "You must do something." "You are young and brave, Master Merry." "But your part in this tale is over." "Go back to your home." "Maybe Treebeard's right." "We don't belong here, Merry." "It's too big for us." "What can we do in the end?" "We've got the Shire." "Maybe we should go home." "The fires of Isengard will spread and the woods of Tuckborough and Buckland will burn." "And..." "And all that was once green and good in this world will be gone." "There won't be a Shire, Pippin." "Aragorn!" "Fall back to the Keep!" "Get your men out of there!" "Haldir!" "GIMLl:" "What are you doing?" "What are you stopping for?" "Haldir!" "Brace the gate!" "Hold them!" "To the gate." "Draw your swords!" "Make way!" "We cannot hold much longer!" "Hold them!" " How long do you need?" "As long as you can give me." "Gimli!" "Timbers!" "Brace the gate!" "Oh, come on." "We can take them." "It's a long way." "Toss me." " What?" " I cannot jump the distance!" "You'll have to toss me!" "Don't tell the Elf." "Not a word." "Shore up the door!" "Make way!" "Follow me to the barricade." "Watch our backs!" "Throw another one over here!" " Higher!" "Hold fast the gate!" "Gimli!" "Aragorn!" "Get out of there!" "Aragorn!" "Pull everybody back." "Pull them back." "Fall back!" "They have broken through!" "The castle is breached." "Retreat!" "Fall back!" "Retreat!" "Hurry!" "Inside." "Get them inside!" "Into the Keep!" "I will leave you at the western borders of the forest." "You can make your way north to your homeland from there." "Wait!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Turn around." " Turn around." "Take us south." " South?" "But that will lead you past Isengard." "Yes." "Exactly." "If we go south, we can slip past Saruman unnoticed." "The closer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm." "It's the last thing he'll expect." "That doesn't make sense to me." "But then you are very small." "Perhaps you're right." "South it is, then." "Hold on, little Shirelings." "I always like going south." "Somehow it feels like going downhill." "Are you mad?" "We'll be caught." "No, we won't." "Not this time." "Look!" "Osgiliath burns!" "Mordor has come." "The Ring will not save Gondor." "It has only the power to destroy." "Please let me go." "Hurry." "Faramir!" "You must let me go!" "And those little family of field mice that climb up sometimes, and they tickle me awfully." "They're always trying to get somewhere where they..." "Many of these trees were my friends." "Creatures I had known from nut and acorn." "I'm sorry, Treebeard." "They had voices of their own." "Saruman." "A wizard should know better!" "There is no curse in Elvish Entish or the tongues of Men for this treachery." "My business is with Isengard tonight with rock and stone." "Yes." "Come, my friends." "The Ents are going to war." "It is likely that we go to our doom." "Last march of the Ents." "Faramir!" "Orcs have taken the eastern shore." "Their numbers are too great." "By nightfall we will be overrun." "Mr. Frodo?" "It's calling to him, Sam." "His Eye is almost on me." "Hold on, Mr. Frodo." "You'll be all right." "Take them to my father." "Tell him Faramir sends a mighty gift." "A weapon that will change our fortunes in this war." "Do you want to know what happened to Boromir?" "You want to know why your brother died?" "He tried to take the Ring from Frodo after swearing an oath to protect him!" "He tried to kill him!" "The Ring drove your brother mad!" "Watch out!" "Mr. Frodo?" "They're here." "They've come." "NazgûI!" "Stay here." "Keep out of sight." "Take cover!" "The fortress is taken." "It is over." "You said this fortress would never fall while your men defend it." "They still defend it." "They have died defending it." "They're breaking in!" "They're past the door!" "Is there no other way for the women and children to get out of the caves?" "Is there no other way?" "There is one passage." "It leads into the mountains." "But they will not get far." "The Uruk-hai are too many." "Tell the women and children to make for the mountain pass." " And barricade the entrance!" " So much death." "What can Men do against such reckless hate?" "Ride out with me." "Ride out and meet them." "For death and glory." "For Rohan." "For your people." "The sun is rising." "Look to my coming at first light on the fifth day." "At dawn look to the east." "Yes." "The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the Deep one last time." "Yes!" "Let this be the hour when we draw swords together." "Fell deeds, awake." "Now for wrath now for ruin and a red dawn." "Forth Eorlingas!" "Gandalf." "Théoden King stands alone." "Not alone." "Rohirrim!" "Éomer." "To the king!" "Yes!" "A hit." "A fine hit." "Break the dam!" "Release the river!" "Pippin!" "Hold on!" "Hold on, little Hobbits." "What are you doing?" "Where are you going?" "It's me." "It's your Sam." "Don't you know your Sam?" "I can't do this, Sam." "I know." "It's all wrong." "By rights, we shouldn't even be here." "But we are." "It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo." "The ones that really mattered." "Full of darkness and danger they were." "And sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy?" "How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened?" "Victory!" "We have victory!" "But in the end, it's only a passing thing this shadow." "Even darkness must pass." "A new day will come." "And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer." "Those were the stories that stayed with you that meant something." "Even if you were too small to understand why." "But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand." "I know now." "Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't." "They kept going because they were holding on to something." "What are we holding on to, Sam?" "That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo." "And it's worth fighting for." "I think at last we understand one another, Frodo Baggins." "You know the laws of our country, the laws of your father." "If you let them go, your life will be forfeit." "Then it is forfeit." "Release them." "Sauron's wrath will be terrible, his retribution swift." "The battle for Helm's Deep is over." "The battle for Middle-earth is about to begin." "All our hopes now lie with two little Hobbits somewhere in the wilderness." "I wonder if we'll ever be put into songs or tales." "What?" "I wonder if people will ever say, "Let's hear about Frodo and the Ring. "" "And they'll say, "Yes!" "That's one of my favorite stories. "" ""Frodo was really courageous, wasn't he, Dad?"" ""Yes, my boy." "The most famousest of Hobbits." "And that's saying a lot. "" "Well, you've left out one of the chief characters:" ""Samwise the Brave. "" "I want to hear more about Sam." "Frodo wouldn't have got far without Sam." "Now, Mr. Frodo, you shouldn't make fun." "I was being serious." "So was I." ""Samwise the Brave. "" "Sméagol?" "We're not going to wait for you." "Come on." "Master." "Master looks after us." "Master wouldn't hurt us." "Master broke his promise." "Don't ask Sméagol." "Poor, poor Sméagol." "Master betrayed us." "Wicked." "Tricksy." "False." "We ought to wring his filthy little neck." "Kill him!" "Kill him!" "Kill them both!" "And then we take the precious and we be the master!" "But the fat Hobbit, he knows." "Eyes always watching." "Then we stabs them out." "Put out his eyeses and make him crawl." "Yes." "Yes." "Yes." "Kill them both." "Yes." "No!" "No!" "It's too risky." "It's too risky." "Where is he?" "Where has he gone?" " Hey, Gollum!" "Where are you?" "Sméagol?" "We could let her do it." "Yes." "She could do it." "Yes, precious, she could." "And then we takes it once they're dead." "Once they're dead." "Shh." "Come on, Hobbits." "Long ways to go yet." "Sméagol will show you the way." "Follow me."

"My father used to say that the reason for living was to get ready to stay dead a long time." "Where Jewel?" "I asked you where Jewel at?" "Down at the barn, harnessing the team." "Probably down there fooling with that damn horse." "Come here, sir." "Come here." "Dinner time." "Come on." "Come on, eat it up." "Get that goddamn stuff out of sight while you still got a chance." "Pussel-gutted bastard." "Sweet son of a bitch." "What?" "You ready?" "Yeah, if you're all hitched up." "You wait." "If she don't last till you get back, she gonna be disappointed." "I gave her my word we'd keep the team here and ready, in case she goes." "Ma ain't that sick." "That's right." "She been acting more herself today than all week." "Yeah, well, you ought to know." "Been coming around here often enough looking at her." "You and your folk all neighbor like..." "Shut up, Jewel." "If everybody wasn't burning hell to get it done already, huh?" "With Cash under that window all day long!" "Sawing... and hammering..." "It was her wish." "She wanted to know it were her own blood sawed the boards and drove the nails." "Just like she want to go in our own wagon." "We will be beholden to no man, me and her." "It means three dollars." "You want us to go or not?" "I'm a luckless man." "It fixing up to rain." "Be back by sundown." "Well..." "Well, come on!" "By sundown, you hear?" "I would not keep her waiting!" "What do you want, Darl?" "She gonna die before we get back." "Then why you going?" "It means three dollars." "Why take Jewel?" "You know he will never forgive you." "She'll want to get started right off." "It's far enough to Jefferson at best." "Well, the road's good now." "For now." "We'll see once the rain come." "Funny how things work." "Addie's people... gotta be buried a day's hard ride from here." "Shame you can't just go to your folks' ground in New Hope not but three miles away." "They'll be back in plenty of time." "I wouldn't worry none." "Might be won't be no needs to rush no ways." "I hope it." "She's going." "Her mind is set on it." "The Lord giveth" "The Lord giveth" "What you got there, boy, a hog?" "Where you find that?" "Down at the bridge." "You aim to leave it there?" "I aim to show it to Ma." "You clean that fish." "Can't Dewey Dell clean it?" "You clean it." "How, Pa?" "You clean it." "Go on now!" "It's bigger than him." "Jewel!" "Jewel!" "Takes two people to make it..." "one people to die." "You know she's gonna die, don't you?" "That's how the world will end." "Which two made you two?" "She's gonna die, Jewel, your mother." "Our mother." "Addie Bundren's gonna die." "Just... breathe easy." "Why didn't you call me sooner?" "Well, it was just one thing and then another." "That ere corn me and the boys was hoping to get up with." "Dewey Dell was taking such good care of her." "Folks was stopping by offering to help and such." "I just..." "Damnit, Anse." "She's a' going, is she?" "I knowed it." "I knowed her mind was set on it." "Pa!" "You better go quick." "Jewel!" "Wheel's stuck in the ditch!" "Damn!" "It's Jewel she wants." "Why, Addie, him and Darl went to make one more load." "They thought there was time, that you would wait for them." "And that's three dollar and all..." "Ma." "Ma!" "Cash!" "Get it up." "Get it up." "You got it?" "You got it?" "A little more." "A little more!" "Hold on." "You're on?" "Yeah, I think so." "All right, hold it." "All right." "Get that bolt." "You know she dead, Jewel." "You know that, right?" "Addie Bundren's dead?" "Just shut up!" "Shut up!" "Just shut your mouth!" "She's gone." "She's taken and left us." "How nigh are you done?" "I reckon you better get back at it." "You're gonna have to do the best you can with them boys going off that-a-way." "Go on now, put supper on." "We gotta keep our strength up." "God's will be done." "Now I can get them teeth." "You could do so much for me, if you just would." "If you just knew." "If you just would then I could tell you... and then nobody's have to know it, except for you and me." "And Darl." "You all right?" "Where she gonna go?" "Do you think she'll still go as far as town?" "She went farther than town." "She's in upside down." "Told you she loved that dress." "Don't want it wrinkled." "I made it on the bevel." "One, there's more gripping surface for the nails." "Two, there's twice the gripping surface to each seam." "Three, the water will have to seep in at a slant." "Water moves easiest up and down than sideways." "Four, in a house were people are upright two thirds of the time... the seams and joints are built up and down... because the stress is up and down." "Five, in a bed where people lay down all the time... the joints and seams go sideways because the stress is sideways." "Six, except." "Seven... a human body is not like a crosstie." "Eight, animal magnetism." "Nine, the animal magnetism of a human body... makes the stress come slanting... so a coffin is built on the bevel." "Ten, if you look at an old grave site... you'll see where the earth is sucked towards the bevel." "Eleven, while on a natural hole... it sinks toward the middle, the stress being up and down." "Twelve, so I made it on a bevel." "Thirteen, it makes a neater job." "That river is up and rising." "It's already covered the highest water mark on that bridge piling that I've ever seen." "That bridge won't stand a whole lot of water." "Anybody told Anse?" "I told him." "He said he reckoned them boys had already heard and unloaded, and was on the way back by now." "He better bury her at New Hope." "That bridge is old." "I wouldn't monkey with it." "Yeah, well his mind is set on taking her to Jefferson." "Well, he had better get at it soon." "It's been there quite a long time, that there bridge." "The Lord kept it there, you mean." "Peabody, you was the first guy to cross it." "You was on the way over to our house, see My sweetheart give birth to our first son, Jody." "If I would'a crossed it every time she littered since it'd be worn out long before this." "The Lord giveth." "The Lord giveth." "Where that rail run?" "My mother is a fish." "His grace be upon this house!" "Anse." "She going to a better place." "♪ Shall we gather at the river" "♪ Where bright angels' feet have trod ♪" "♪ Gather with the saints at the river ♪" "♪ That flows by the throne of God ♪" "♪ Yes, we'll gather at the river" "♪ The beautiful, the beautiful river ♪" "♪ Gather with the saints at the river ♪" "♪ That flows by the throne of God ♪" "♪ Soon we'll meet by the river" "♪ Soon our pilgrimage will cease" "Hey, Jewel!" "Look at them." "Goddamn you." "Goddamn him!" "I know your mother was Addie Bundren, Jewel same as mine." "But who was your father?" "And as long as I can recall who it isn't... but who it is." "I still don't know." "It ain't gonna balance." "If you want it to tote and ride on a balance..." "Pick up your goddamn your thick- nosed soul to hell and pick up!" " Easy, Jewel." "Jewel, I'm telling you!" "She will not tote and ride..." "Easy!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Pick it up!" "Watch the stairs!" "No, pick up!" "Pick up your end!" "Watch it!" "Come on, Cash!" "Watch it!" "Let loose, Cash!" "Watch it!" "Watch it!" "Pick up!" "Pick up!" "Watch it, Jewel!" "She's backwards." "Jewel!" "You leave that horse here, you hear me?" "We all go in the wagon with your Ma, like she wanted." "Not with you prancing around like a darn circus animal on that horse." "My mother's a fish." "Yeah." "Jewel's mother's a horse." "And what's your Ma, Darl?" "I ain't got one." "Why you got them tools?" "'Cause I aim to stop off at Tull's on the way home and get that roof up on that barn." "It ain't respectful." "That's deliberate flouting of her and of me." "Where your sister?" "What's that?" "Mr. Tull's cakes." "Taking them to town, Pa." "It ain't right." "It's flouting of the dead." "And there's little enough for you do to do for her." "What sprung hell from her own flesh and blood." "Then go on." "Leave him stay if he wants to." "Pepper!" "It's a hard country on man." "Nowhere in this sinful world can a honest, hard-working man profit." "It takes them that run the stores in the towns... doing no sweating, doing no sweating... living off them that sweat." "It ain't the hard-working man, the farmer." "Sometimes I wonder why I keep at it." "It's because there's a reward for us above... where they can't take their autos and such." "Everyone will be equal there." "And it will be taken from them that have... and give to them that have not by the Lord." "But it seems like a long ways." "I told them it wasn't balanced." "They should'a let me put it on a balance." "Yeah, maybe so, but we done waited long enough." "Especially in this heat." "Hey!" "Jewel!" "I don't expect you to have no respect for me... but with your own Ma not cold in her coffin yet." "I don't know how many times I have to tell you..." "Jewel!" "I don't know how many times I told you... it's doing such things makes folks talk about you." "Come on!" "Darl knew." "He knew this and he knew before." "He knew the first time me and Lafe picked on down the row." "We'd picked on down the row, the woods getting closer and closer and the secret shade." "Picking on into the secret shade with my sack and Lafe's sack." "Because I said, will I or won't I when the sack was full?" "'Cause I said, if the sack's full when we get to the woods, then it won't be me." "I said, if it don't mean for me to do it the sack will not be full and I will turn up the next row." "But if the sack is full, then I cannot help it." "And so it was, because I could not help it." "He was in." "And then I saw Darl, and he knew." "He said he knew without the words like he told me that Ma was gonna die without words." "And I knew he knew 'cause he said he knew with the words." "I would not have believed that he had been there and saw us." "But he said he did know." "And I said, "Are you gonna tell Pa?" "Are you gonna kill him?"" "Without the words I said it." "And he said, "Why?" without the words" "Why not admit it?" "You know it's true." "Even if it's just to yourself." "The relief you feel." "You needed her to die so that you could go to town and get it done." "And that's why I can talk to him with knowing and hating 'cause he knows." "Couple of days now, it'll be smelling." "You might tell Jewel that, he'd like to hear it." "It ain't balanced for no long ride neither." "You can tell him that, too." "We're going to use your bridge!" "Bridge is out!" "Louder!" "The bridge is out!" "We'll be all right." "How about use the one across at Samson's?" "Yeah." "That bridge is gone." "Like this?" "Worse." "It's gone entire." "What now?" "I guess we ford here." "If it was just up, we could drive across." "We could just drive right on across it." "That's where the ford was." "That don't show nothing." "That could be a bar of quicksand built up there." "Mr. Wheatfield crossed it." "On horseback." "Two days ago." "It's raised five foot since then." "Mr. Wheatfield crossed it." "If the bridge was just up." "But it's not, is it?" "I bet you a careful fella could walk across on those planks and those logs." "Yeah, but you ain't gonna tote nothing." "Likely you put a foot on that mess, the whole thing go too." "I gave her my promised word in the presence of the Lord." "I reckon it'll cross fine." "It probably start falling come the night." "You can lay over a day." "You should get the hell back to your own damn plowing." "Ain't nobody asked you to follow us here." "Never meant no harm." "Why don't you shut up, Jewel." "Yeah, shut up, Jewel." "What you wanna do?" "If the bridge was just up, we could drive across it." "What you say, Cash?" "Dewey Dell and Vardaman and Pa... they all better walk across on foot." "He's right." "Vernon can help them." "Come on." "You go with them." "We'll go on down the ford, meet you on the other side." "I don't advise it." "Come on, Vardaman." "I gave her my word!" "It is sacred on me." "I know you begrudge it... but she will bless you in heaven." "This is fool's work." "Y'all should'a laid over a day." "Water's gonna go down, ain't gonna rain no more." "Surely ain't gonna get no higher." "It's the turning back." "It ain't no luck in turning back." "I give her my word." "She's a-counting on it." "The dark current runs." "Talks up to us in a murmur... become ceaseless and myriad." "Fading swirls move along the surface for an instant... silent, impermanent... profoundly significant... as though something just beneath the surface... huge and alive... was waked for a moment." "I reckon we're still on the road." "Tull taken and cut down those two big white oaks." "I hear tell, at high water in the old days... people used to ford by those trees." "If I'd suspicioned it, I coulda come out here last week and taken sight of it." "There's no way we coulda knowed." "What do you want me to do?" "All right, I'm gonna go on ahead... and y'all just follow where I am, okay?" "I ain't gonna let nothing happen to you. okay." "It's just you and me." "I ain't gonna let nothing happen to you." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on now." "Guys!" "This way!" "Guys, here!" "The ford is over here!" "This is it, Jewel!" "Right here!" "Wait!" "Jewel, wait!" "It ain't on a balance!" "Well, then go back and walk on the goddamn bridge, both you and Darl!" "You let me on that!" "Ride back and cross, too!" "Walk across the bridge... and meet us on the other bank with the rope, and then Vernon will take your horse!" " There's some loose logs!" " Yeah, you go to hell!" "Take the rope around the other bank!" "Three ain't no better than two." "We got one to drive and one to balance." "I don't care what we do just so long as we do something!" "Sitting here not doing a goddamn thing!" "Take the rope and meet us on the other side!" "Can you do that jewel?" "You might as well hop off now and go across the bridge, too, if you want." "I'll stay." "Might take two of us." "Watch yourself!" "I'm on it!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on then, you can come to me, all right?" "Come on!" "Watch it!" "Log!" "Jewel!" "Let the rope go!" "Go!" "Go!" "I used to hear the dark land talking God's love..." "His beauty and His sin." "Hearing the dark voicelessness in which words are deeds and the other words that are not deeds just the gaps in people's lack coming down like the cries of the" "geese in the wild darkness in the old terrible nights." "Anse had a word, too." "Love, he called it." "But I had been used to words for a long time." "I knew that word was like the others." "Just a shape to fill a lack." "When I knew that I had Cash..." "I knew that life was terrible and that this was the answer to it." "That was when I learned that words are no good." "Words don't ever fit even what they are trying to say at." "When he was borned, I knew motherhood was invented by someone who had to have a word for it" "Because the ones that had the children... didn't care if there was a word for it or not." "Sometimes I would lay by him in the dark... hearing the dark land that was now of my blood and flesh and I would think, "Anse."" ""Why Anse?" "Why is he Anse?"" "And I would think about his name until, after a while" "I could see the word as a shape... a vessel." "I would watch him liquefy and flow into it... until the jar stood full and motionless." "I told Cora one day... that he was my cross, and he would be my salvation." "He would save me from the water and the fire." "Even though I had laid down my life... he would save me." "She told me it was sinful when she realized how we were talking about God." "But sin and love and fear are just sounds that people who have never sinned nor loved nor feared, have." "But what they never had, and cannot have... until they forget the words." "She wanted me to pray, ask for forgiveness... because to people to whom sin is just a matter of words to them, "salvation" is just words, too." "I would think of him as dressed in sin." "I would think of him as thinking of me... as dressed also in sin." "Even more beautiful... because the garment he exchanged for sin was sanctified." "I would think of the sin as garments which we would remove." "And then it was over." "He gave me jewel." "And jewel was my salvation." "His grace be upon this house!" "He got the saw, Cash!" "I got the rule!" "Found the rule, Cash!" "He got your saw, Cash!" "He got your saw!" "I'm going to Armstid's." "Give cash help." "After school was out and the last one had left with his dirty little snuffling nose instead of going home, I would go down the hill to the spring where I could be quiet and hate them." "I would have to look at them day after day... each with his and her sacred selfish thought." "And I would look forward to the times when they faulted so I could whip them." "When the switch fell, I could feel it upon my flesh." "When it welted and ridged it was my blood that ran... and I would think with each blow of the switch:" "Now you are aware of me!" "Doc Peabody had gone down below Inverness somewhere... but Uncle Billy's coming." "He's a horse doctor." "But he's about the closer we come now." "Well... what y'all thinking?" "In here, Uncle Billy." "What you been into now, boy?" "All right, get me a chair and a big glass of whiskey." "Lucky for him, that were the same leg he broke last summer." "Me and you might got a different notion of what's lucky." "I reckon I get your point." "But can you help him?" "Well, men ain't so different from a horse or a mule... except maybe... horse or a mule might have a little more sense." "I want you to drink this." "All of it." "It's okay to holler, boy, if you feel like you need to." "All right, need some help holding him down." "Hold him down." "Hold him still." "Hold him still." "Put a bite on him." "Bite on it." "Put the rag in your mouth and bite on it." "Bite." "All right." "Is he all right?" "He's all right." "I'm gonna need some help with these splints while he's out." "You're welcome to the use of my team." "I thank you, but she'll want to go in ourn." "Well..." "You might wanna think about Snopes." "He's got three, four span." "Maybe one of them'd suit you." "He a close man to trade with." "Yeah" "But I reckon I can talk him around." "How does it taste, huh?" "Go!" "Get outta here!" "Leave!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Get outta here!" "Shoo!" "Get off!" "Go!" "Shoo!" "Shoo!" "Get out of here!" "Just go!" "Git!" "Shoo!" "Go!" "Go!" "shoo!" "Shoo!" "Go!" "Leave my Mama alone!" "Go!" "You've got to do something." "It's an outrage." "He should be lawed for treating her so." "He's getting her in the ground best he can." "Dear Lord!" "That smell!" "You have to do something." "Anse!" "Anse!" "He's gone." "Where's Anse?" "Done light out this morning trade for a new team with Snopes." "How'd he get there?" "Jewel's horse." "I didn't think he'd ever let nobody else touch that beast." "Never has." "I don't mean no offense, but... smell, smell's getting pretty bad." "I know." "Come on eat now." "You, too, Jewel." "Jewel, come on eat!" "Pa's home!" "Got us a team." "Got a team from Snopes?" "I reckon Snopes ain't the only fella in this town itching to drive a trade." "A fella that just beat Snopes in a trade ought to feel pretty darn good." "What you give him, Anse?" "I give him a chattel mortgage on my seeder and cultivator." "That ain't worth more than $40." "I give other things." "What other things?" "Other things." "That's what he was doing in Cash's clothes last night." "You know he was planning to buy that talking machine from Suratt." "That's just $8." "That ain't enough to buy another team." "Lord knows... if there were ere a man." "And the horse." "What horse?" "We give him the horse right after we bury your mother." "You mean, you think you swapped my horse?" "My horse?" "Five months hard work... clear near 40 acres of Quick's field to earn it." "For 15 year I ain't had a tooth in my head." "Lord knows... for 15 year He know that I ain't had the victuals... that He aimed for man to eat to keep his strength up." "And me saving a nickel here and a nickel there... so my family wouldn't suffer it, to buy them!" "And I thought that if I could do without eating... my son could do without riding!" "God knows I did!" "Hell" "Come on." "Up!" "Where's Jewel?" "We can't leave without Jewel." "Jewel disappeared with his horse." "Be the last time we see Jewel, sure enough." "Maybe they get a postcard from him down in Texas, I reckon." "Anse Bundren is an outrage against decency." "I be darn if he ain't a sight." "How you feeling, Cash?" "It don't bother none." "You want me to prop it up some?" "You all right?" "It's just on a bump... it kinda grinds together a little bit on a bump." "But it don't bother nothing." "Is it because Jewel's mother is a horse, Darl?" "Is that why he went away?" "That's part of it." "Hey, Cash, you want me to tighten this?" "If you just would." "That hurt?" "Maybe just put it back down." "Hurt?" "It don't bother none." "You want Pa to slow down?" "No." "There's no point in slowing down now." "It don't bother nothing." "I reckon we gotta get him some medicine." "There ain't no way around it." "Just tell him to go on." "Them cakes is gonna be nice by the time we get to Jefferson." "You best sell them in Mottson, if you know what I'm saying." "When will we get to Mottson, Darl?" "Tomorrow." "If this team don't step itself to pieces." "I think Snopes fed them on sawdust." "Why did he feed them on sawdust, Darl?" "Look." "I couldn't see." "I couldn't feel." "I couldn't feel the bed under me." "And I couldn't think of where I was." "I couldn't think of my name." "I couldn't even think I am a girl... but I knew that something was." "But I couldn't even think of time" "Then, all of a sudden, I knew that something was." "It was wind blowing over me." "I believe in God." "I believe in God." "I believe in God." "I believe in God." "God, I believe in God." "I believe in God." "I believe in God." "I believe in God." "Gonna hawl a little." "Gonna hawl a little." "Pepper!" "Pepper!" "Dewey, make it quick." "Where you going?" "Where she going?" "What can I do for you?" "You looking for some toilet things, or is it medicine you want?" "That's it?" "I'd rather go back there." "All right." "What's the trouble?" "Tell me what it is you want." "I'm pretty busy." "It's a female trouble." "Is that all?" "Where's your Ma?" "Haven't you got one?" "She's out yonder in the wagon." "Why don't you talk to her about it before you take any medicine?" "I mean, any woman would tell you about it." "Are you too regular or not regular enough?" "Yes, I reckon so." "Yes." "Well, which?" "Don't you know?" "You want something to stop it, is that it?" "No." "You see, it's already stopped." "Oh, well, we..." "You're not married, are you?" "No." "Well, I don't have anything in my store for you... and I'd advise you to go home and tell your Pa, if you have one... and let him make somebody buy you a wedding license." "But I got the money to pay you." "A thousand dollars wouldn't be enough in my store." "Ten cents wouldn't be enough." "Howdy." "Can I have a bag of cement?" "That'll be 50 cents." "50 cents?" "Could I have 10 cents worth?" "10 cents...?" "For what?" "My brother broke his leg." " What?" " You gotta get this wagon outta here." "It's a public street!" "I reckon we can stop to buy something same as any other man." "We got the money to pay for it, and there ain't any law..." "I just want 10 cents worth." "I don't wanna break a sack." "Don't you know you'll cause that boy to lose his leg?" "You take him to the doctor." "I would like 10 cents worth of cement." "Fine." "Just get that boy to a doctor." "You get this thing buried as soon as you can." "Don't you know you're tempting jail for Endangering the public health?" "We're doing the best we can." "We woulda set out to bury her today, but had to wait for that boy to bring the wagon back." "Shut up, Pa!" "Sir, I'm sorry." "We'll be gone in a minute." "Get this man to a doctor." "Ain't got to worry about me." "I'm fine." "Hurry up, Dewey Dell!" "We done lost too much time." "We ain't gonna discommode you no more." "Pepper!" "(indistinct)" "Here a place." "Right here." "Hold, mule." "Hold, mule." "We could get some water over yonder." "Dewey Dell, you better go see you can borrow a bucket." "Guess you had less luck than you expected selling them cakes in Mottson." "We better not try and lift him down." "We fix it here." "When we get to Jefferson, tomorrow?" "I could just last it out." "It'll be easier this way on you." "It won't rub together." "But I can last it out." "And we'll lose time if we stop now." "We done bought the cement now." "Listen, I can last it out." "It's just one more day." "And it don't bother none." "It sets up so." "We done bought it now." "How's that look?" "You don't wanna put too much water in it... or it won't work right." "How's that?" "You know, maybe if you..." "y'all could find some sand." "Vardaman, go on and get some sand." "I can last it out... if it's just one more day, you know?" "'Cause it don't bother none." "All right." "Careful with that there." "Bring your leg out." "Just mind it so it don't get on" "How's that feel?" "It feels fine." "It feels cold and good on there." "It feels fine." "If it'll only help..." "I ask your forgiveness." "I couldn't have foreseen it more than you." "I feel fine." "All right?" "I think it's gonna rain." "Look, there's Jewel!" "Where that horse?" "Delivered him to Snopes himself." "You did right." "This here sure got me tired." "Darl, if Snopes didn't feed them mules on sawdust... would they be able to make the hill without us have to get out and walk?" "Maybe." "Dewey Dell, when we stop at night in the barn, where do them buzzards stay?" "I asked Darl." "He doesn't know neither." "Tonight I'm gonna see where them buzzards stay while we're in the barn." "Where you going?" "Hate to discommode you." "Well, no, sirs, ain't no trouble." "But we wonder about that leg, though." "How's that feeling, son?" "It's getting a little bit hot from being in the sun like that all day." "You want some water poured on it?" "Maybe that'll ease it some." "I'd be obliged." "It's just from being in the sun all day." "I ought to kept my mind on it to kept it covered." "How's that feel?" "I'm obliged." "That feels fine." "Well, you folks... you have a good night." "We'll be right inside if you need anything else." "Fine." "Cash, see if you can get some sleep." "Sure." "Yeah, it feels fine." "I miss Ma." "Come here." "Put your head right down there." "Listen." "Can you hear?" "Yeah?" "I can hear her." "You hear?" "What's she saying, Darl?" "Who's she talking to?" "Talking to God." "She's calling on Him to help her." "What she wanting to do?" "She wants Him to hide her from the sight of man." "Why does she want to get hid away, Darl?" "So she can lay down her life." "Why does she wanna lay down her life?" "Just listen." "Listen." "You can hear?" "She's been calling out." "Ever since the river, she's been calling out." "What are they doing, Dewey Dell?" "They're bringing Ma on the barn." "They don't wanna leave her outdoors all night." "I can smell her." "Can you smell her, too?" "Hush." "I went looking to find where them buzzards stay at night." "I saw something Dewey Dell told me not tell nobody." "It's not about Pa and it's not about Cash... and it's not about Jewel and it's not about Dewey Dell... and it's not about me." "Help!" "Fire!" "There's a fire!" "Pa!" "Pa!" "Let's get the mules!" "Get the mules!" "Get the mules!" "Come on." "Look out!" "Jewel!" "Jewel!" "Jewel!" "Jewel!" "Stop him!" "Jewel!" "Stop him!" "Where Darl?" "Where Darl got to?" "Your foot look funny, Cash." "I reckon we gonna have to bust that off." "You take that off, gonna take the hide, too." "Why in tarnation did you put it on there?" "I thought it might steady it some." "Didn't anybody think to grease his leg first?" "I only aimed to help him." "It was Darl put it on." "Where is Darl?" "Where is Darl?" "Oh, God." "Be it best to leave it on." "You gonna keep the cat away, Darl?" "You needn't to cry." "Jewel got her out." "You needn't to cry, Darl." "If you could just travel out into time, that would be nice." "It'd be nice if you could just travel out into time." "Takes two people to make you." "And one people to die." "It's how the world will end." "Can you still hear her?" "Hey, Darl, we close to Jefferson?" "Yeah." "Life was created in the valleys." "It was blew up on the hills on the old terrors... the old lusts and the old despair." "That's why you must walk up the hills, so you can ride down." "I gotta stop." "What for?" "I gotta go to the bushes." "Can't you wait till we get to town?" "Stop!" "I gotta go to the bushes!" "Hold, mule!" "Leave them cakes." "We'll look after them." "We gonna have to take him to the doctor." "I reckon we just have to." "We ought to send word from Gillespie's... have someone get that grave ready." "I just never wanna be beholden to none but her flesh and blood." "Who can't dig a damn hole in the ground?" "It ain't respectful talking that way about your Ma's grave!" "You just don't know what it is." "You never pure loved her, none of you." "I thought I told you to leave them clothes to home." "Pepper!" "Come on, mule." "How many more hills now, Darl?" "Just one." "Next one goes all the way into town." "Hold, mule!" "I reckon we gotta slide it in yonder." "They got... one or two Christians inside, I'm betting." "What we need is some shovels." "We can go to a hardware store." "That costs money!" "You begrudge her it?" "Skeet, there's a woman up front that wants to see the doctor." "I said, "What doctor do you want to see?", she said, the doctor that works here." "When I told her there ain't any doctor works here, she just stood there, looking this way." "What kind of woman is it?" "Tell her to go upstairs to Alford's office." "Country woman." "Send her to the courthouse." "Tell her all the doctors have gone to Memphis to a barbers' convention." "All right." "She's just pretty nice for a country girl." "Wait." "Wait." "What can I do for you?" "Are you the doctor?" "Sure." "Can we go back yonder?" "Now... madam... what is your trouble?" "It's a female trouble." "I got the money." "Have you got female trouble is all?" "Or you want female trouble?" "If this so, you've come to the right doctor." " No." "No which?" "I ain't had it." "That's it." "I got the money." "You got something in your belly you wished you didn't have." "'Course you realize I could be put in the Penitentiary after doing what you want?" "I would lose my license." "Then I'd have to go to work." "You realize that." "I ain't got but $10... but I could bring the rest next month, maybe." "Ten dollars." "You see, I can't put no price on my knowledge and skill." "Certainly not for a little poultry sawbuck." "What do you want then?" "You guess three times, then I'll show you." "I got to do something." "You come back 10 o'clock tonight, I give you the rest of it." "Will it work?" "Sure it'll work." "If you come back and get it." "Get on up outta there." "Fill it in." "Go on." "Darl Bundren?" "Yeah." "How does Gillespie know it was Darl that done it?" "Vardaman swore he never told nobody but me." "If Vardaman never told nobody but you, how come they know it?" "It don't matter." "What matters is Gillespie knows." "He'd suspicioned it sooner or later." "I reckon it ain't no way around it." "We got to send him to Jackson." "It's either that or Gillespie sue us." "So you wanna fix him now?" "Fix him?" "Yeah, catch him." "Tie him up." "Or you wanna wait till he sets fire to the goddamn team and wagon?" "He's crazy!" "That's 'cause Jewel was too hard on him." "I thought about it more than once... before we crossed the river and after... that it would be God's blessing... if He'd taken her out of our hands... and we got shut of her in some clean way." "It seemed to me, when Jewel was working to get her out in the river... he was going against God in a way." "And when Darl seen that it looked like one of us was gonna have to do something... well, I can almost believe that he done right, in a way." "But that don't excuse burning down a man's barn... or endangering his stock, or destroying his property." "I guess there ain't no excuse for what Darl did... endangering that stock, destroying his property." "I reckon that's how a man's crazy." "He can't see eye to eye with other folks." "And I suppose there ain't much you can do... except for what it is that most folks says is right." "But it's a shame in a way." "Are you Darl Bundren?" "You better come with us." "Get off me!" "Cash!" " Cash!" " You son of a bitch!" " Cash!" " All right." "Dewey, let go of him!" "Cash, I thought you woulda told me." "I never thought you wouldn't have told me." "Cash?" "All right, all right, all right." "You can scratch at me all you want." "Maybe, you see, if I'm gone... no one'll know." "Ain't gonna go away, just like whatever you got in that box ain't gonna make it go away." "And you..." "What, you think the questions are just gonna go away just 'cause I ain't here to ask them?" "Darl..." "Is this what you want?" "Maybe it'll be better for you." "It's quiet down there without all the bothering." "Is that what you think I am?" "It'll be better for you, Darl." "Better?" "Better?" "It's quiet down there, yeah." "Is that what you think I am?" "It'll be better for you." "Maybe it'll be better." "Maybe." "Maybe!" "Vardaman, come here." "It was getting right noticeable... the smell, that is." "We didn't have no time to waste." "It don't bother none." "Don't you lie there and tell me that." "You with all that time on a wagon... with no springs and a broken leg, and it don't bother you." "Well..." "It don't bother much." "You mean, it don't bother Anse much." "Why don't he just take you over to the nearest sawmill... and put your leg in a saw?" "That woulda cured it." "And you all coulda taken..." "Anse over to the saw, stuck his head in there and cured the whole family." "Son, this toe is gangrenous." "Get it off, Doc!" "Take it!" "Go!" "Go!" "You wait out here." "Why can't I come in?" "I wanna come in, too." "You wait out here." "All right." "You want something?" "A banana." "Where is it?" "There it is." "And you're sure it'll work?" "Sure." "As long as you take the rest of the treatment." "Where do I take it?" "Let me show you." "That's what you want." "That's what you came back for?" "That's what you came back for." "Take that little seed out." "Take the little acorn that you got in." "Yeah, that's what you came back for." "I'm gonna fix you." "My brother, they say he went crazy." "But he went to Jackson, too." "Jackson is further away than crazy." "He had to get on a train to go to Jackson." "I've not been on a train." "But Darl has been on a train." "Darl." "Darl is my brother." "Why do I laugh?" "Why do you laugh, Darl?" "Is it because you hate the sound of laughter?" "Is that why you laughing, Darl?" "Is it because your mother is a fish?" "A horse?" "Is it because you no longer have a mother?" "Because you hear the dark lands speaking of God and His beauty and His sin?" "Because we use each other with words... like spiders hanging by their mouths from the rafters... swinging and twisting and never touching." "He got them teeth." "Who's that?" "That there is Cash." "That there is Jewel." "That Vardaman, and that's Dewey Dell." "Meet Mrs. Bundren." "Pepper." "It's gonna be a little."

"Once upon a time there was a punk princess who rocked a musical kingdom." "We're gonna do it fast." "And she kinda dug its blue-eyed prince." "Shay needs a fresh new sound and the beats Quincy's been turning out for Jude?" "Killer." "Don't get too attached." "I'm loaning you Tommy for one song." "Look, that song's a test." "If Tom passes, we might record the whole album here." "All right?" " Right." "Well, that depends." " On what?" "On how many zeros you put on the cheque." "And then the emperor of hip hop invaded." "Darius?" "I got zeroes, Georgia." "I got lots of zeroes." "And took the one thing she most wanted." "What's he doing here?" "His nephew's coming tomorrow." " Shay." " Shay?" "As in "S to the H to the A to the Y"?" "The shay?" "I'm gonna be sharing a studio with him?" "Shay doesn't really share anything." "Not a studio or a producer." "What?" "You're producing him?" "Tommy, you're mine!" "Look, take studio C." "Just keep working on that song." "All right, I think it's got potential." "The princess wanted back what was rightfully hers:" "the palace, the pro tools and her prince." "But this wasn't fantasy, this was reality." "And the princess realized... it bites." "Subtitles:" "Willow's Team" "Transcript:" "Raceman" "Whoa!" "Take it over there." "It's like an entourage minefield." "Bigger the fame, bigger the posse." "Yeah." "I was thinking about that song, by the way." "What do you think about a new pornographers vibe?" "I think it's your call." "I gotta talk to Kwest about Shay's backing track, so..." "See you." "EJ, how're we doing on hospitality?" "We've followed Shay's rider to a "T"." "Two pounds of Ju-Jubes." "Assorted boxes of cereal, six quarts of vanilla soy milk." " Careful!" " Flowers?" "This is Shay, not J-Lo." "I can't believe you guys are catering to the whims of some boy diva." "That diva equals dollars in the bank, while you're an expense." "Oh, nice." "Lesson in politics?" "These are Shay's two CD's." "Listen to them and try and find something nice to say, okay?" "Yeah." "I'll try." "Shay!" "Shay, remember Tom Quincy?" "Tom, remember Shay?" "I remember some kid in braces named Shay-Shay." "Shay, this is Kwest." "He's my right-hand man, my sonic architect." "It's good to be working with you, man." "Yeah, me and Tommy, we cooked up some sick beats for you." "Them backing' tracks we got?" " Straight killing'." " Hold-up." "You my new backup girl?" "No." "I sing lead on my own records." "Shame. 'Cause you're definitely cute enough to be a Shay girl." "Jude." "Don't you have an album to finish?" "Studio C?" "I know." "I'm going." "I'm so sure that I'll be yours" "But baby, you could be mine" "It's all a..." "It's all about hanging out..." "Would it have killed them to sound proof this closet?" "That better be Jimmy Page in there." "It's Jude." "I'll tell her to cut it out." "No." "Forget it." "I'll take care of it myself." "Yo Kwest, turn that beat up!" "Go get 'em!" "Yo, we're doing things my way cuz otherwise you got to take the highway" "I'm the guy that's rocking on the mic and so what I say" "What I play is just the way..." "Cute girl on the other side of the wall" "I like the way you move your body and if you fall" "I'll be the one that's gonna catch you before you hit the ground" "I'm feeling your sound" "Call me Shay on the M-I-C when you're listening to me" "You be listening to me beat-boppin to the rhythm that we give him" "Where we hit him with the beats on the streets" "Don't forget the way we livin' yo..." "It's like a Shay, Jude mash-up." "And it kills." "Mash-ups don't sell a million records." "You gotta be open to new sounds, D." "Let's break out, experiment." "It's like the old Tommy I used to know." "Always willing to waste my money." "Here we go." "Two minutes together, we're already arguing." "You know I'm right." "That's why you put on the headphones." "Jude." "I thought you might be hungry after our little throw down." "Ah, so that's how you go through so much soy milk." "Checkin' out the competition?" "Kinda." "The second CD?" "Sold over a million copies." "I know." "Everyone's heard "S to the H to the A to the Y"." "But your first CD's way better." "It shreds." "My first CD's my joint." "What happened?" "My uncle stepped up and took over." "He won't let me freestyle anymore..." "or write my own stuff at all." "And you let him?" "When you got someone like Darius taking an interest?" "You listen and learn." "Learn how to sell your soul?" "For millions of fans and fine mommies." "Of course, there's always room in the fan club for one more." "Right." "Yeah." "I'll ask around at my next mensa meeting." "You're funny." "Most girls, they're too shy to even talk to me." "Lucky for them." "Oh, by the way?" "Say hi to my producer for me, okay?" "Erupt already!" "Want to remind me why you're doing a fourth grade project for extra credit?" "It's not fourth grade, it's a working seismological model." "And if I don't knock this project out I'm cruising for a D." "The baking powder is supposed to make it get all lava-y!" "Try baking soda, Marie Curie." "Oh." "I am such an idiot." "Goodbye beach, hello summer school." "Look... why don't you bring Mt." "Katerina over tonight?" "I'll help you." "Bump you up to a solid C." "Thank you." "Okay, alrighty." "That's enough touching." " Jude, right?" " Yeah." "Whassup?" "I'm T-Bone." "My boy Shay wanted me to let you know you guys are on for dinner tonight before his show." "He'll pick you up at 6:00 p.m." "Oh yeah, and on the down-low?" "My man loves pink." "So..." "wear something fushia, he'd like that." "Jude." "Jude!" "Don't go in there." "You had your entourage ask me out?" " You asked her out?" " I didn't know I needed permission." "It doesn't matter." "Cause the answer's no." "Girl's afraid." "Afraid she can't handle the big Shay." "Handle what?" "Some beatbox who needs a stylist to lay out his jammies every night?" "Oh, so we gonna play now?" "Heard your new demo." "You wanna know what I think?" "It's Avril meets... more Avril." "Really?" "This from a guy who doesn't even write his own lyrics." "I bet you couldn't compose a grocery list without Darius holding your hand." " Damn." " Look, she didn't mean it." "Yes, she did." "Excuse me." "Shay-Shay." "Right." "Okay." "Thanks." "Shay wants an apology." "You can do it in person, backstage, after his show." "Tonight." "Or he walks." "Forget it." "I'm not doing it." "Jude, please." "I need this album." "I know apologizing to Shay sucks." "But just do it... for me?" "I'm gonna need backup." " Of course I'll come." " Awesome." "Thank you." "I owe you so much." "And I'll see you tonight." "You bet." "Jamie?" "A little help here, please!" "Got some DVDs for inspiration:" "Dante's Peak, Fire on a Mountain, and Gigli-- it's a little bit more of a disaster flick." "Right." "About your project." "I have a date tonight... with Jude." " Define date." " Well, it's date adjacent." "We go to a show." "We stand around, apologize to Shay..." "She said she needs me tonight." "You understand, don't you?" "Eh, little buddy?" "Yeah... of course." "Me and Mt." "Katerina will go not erupt at home." " Diet cola for m'lady." " Thank you." "Ginger ale for her gawky, out-of-place dude." "So forget the children, we need to feed these women." " It's called a "joke"." " No, the joke is that" "I'm being ordered to apologize for telling the truth." "Yeah." "But at least I still have my best friend, right?" "Yep." "Friend city over here." "Ladies and gentlemen..." "give it up for Shay!" "True dat!" "We'll get to the hits, but you gotta bear with me." "I had a fight with a special someone today." "She was cold." "Told it like it is." "But I wanna show her I'm the real deal." "The beatles had their Jude, this is for mine..." "Jude Harrison, ladies and gentlemen." "Give it up." "Y'all been down and out you know what I'm sayin'?" "Everybody gets down and out sometimes but I'll tell ya" "City life gets insane everybody always want to pick your brain" "Talking about how much money you got" "Talking about look at that girl so hot" "I was just thinking for a second that I..."

"Hooking up with Shay?" "A publicity jackpot!" "I didn't hook up with him." "I practically called him a poseur." "Hey, poseurs need love, too." "So, what'd you think?" "I wrote it for you, girl." "To be honest, I'm confused." "I thought you wanted me to apologize." "Why?" "I ain't mad." "You told me the truth, which I never get to hear." "So, about that date?" "I know a great after hours place where we can go and just chill." "Yes, go!" "Have fun!" "Practice looking great together!" "Jude?" "I thought we were gonna grab a burger?" "No." "It's late." "Go home." "Okay." " Thanks for the song." " No problem." "Anytime." "I couldn't breathe." "It was like I was being pulled in 3 different directions at the same time." "Sounds like a crazy night, all right." "And then Tommy went all bodyguard to try to keep us apart." "It was crazy." " Is he jealous?" " Tommy?" " Yeah." " Rip the band-aid off already." "I mean, if you can't get over Tommy with this famous beautiful man, well then, I'm sorry, but you're doomed." "It's not that easy, Kat." "When I'm with Tommy," "I feel like I can do anything." " I can't just get over him." " Have you tried?" "I mean, if people would just open their eyes and see who's right in front of them instead of obsessing over the wrong girl..." "Guy?" " What?" " Wrong guy." "Guy." "Guy." "Right." "S'up, girl?" "Yes, yes, yes." "Jude, come." "I'll be just a second, all right?" "What're you doing here?" "You just don't give up, do you?" "You know the answer to this?" "When it comes to math, I am strictly remedial." "How did you do that?" "This is calculus." "I skipped two grades." "Surprised?" "I just didn't figure you for a mathlete." "You think I just stepped out of one of my videos?" "That I'm all rhymes and blingity-bling?" "I'm a real guy, Jude." " S to the H to the A to the Y!" " Hey, what's up, my brother?" " You're nice to your fans." " Of course." "Why do you think I'm so nice to you all the time?" "So?" "About that date." "You like movies?" "You're on." "No, no, no." "You don't understand." "Shay serenaded Jude." "Wow." "That's huge." " You really got trumped." " Yeah, I know." "Look, I'm sorry I bailed." " How about tonight?" " Okay." "Cause I was thinking, maybe you could invite Jude over to help." "And then maybe, you know, talk me up a bit before I show up?" "Is it possible for you to just help me without thinking about Jude for two seconds?" "Relax." "What is your problem?" "You, Andrews!" "You're totally blind!" "Magma." "I can't believe you bought every seat." "It's the only way to go." "It's your second bag!" "Darius dictates my sound, my look." "I dictate the small details like how many Ju-jubes I eat." "Right." "Well, that's kinda pathetic." "But it's cute." "Shay's driver just called." "He's at the movies with Jude." "When EJ found out, she actually cried." "Not you, too." "Tom, if Shay dates Jude, it'll be a publicity bonanza for G Major." "But Shay's a distraction." "I'm just thinking about what's best for Jude." "You mean, what's best for you?" "Like Jude's total attention?" "Whatever." "I got a song to mix." "Okay." "I'm sorry, I can't believe this." "I mean, the big Shay is macking on me?" "You are macking on me, right?" "Jude, you ever meet someone that makes you want to be better?" "And at your music?" "At everything?" "Sorry." "Yeah, it's Tommy." "I have to go." "Whoa." "I thought I jumped when Darius calls me." "All right." "I give you mounty Kat part deux." "A lava-spewing, noxious gas spilling, villager killing mountain of doom." "We're talking a solid C plus plus." "Wow." "Thank you." "Seriously." "So, now that we have one project down, we can refocus on project Jude." "Jamie, you don't have a hope." "Don't you get it?" "You don't think I'm good enough for her?" "Because I'm just a music geek with a dorky haircut!" "Read my lips, Oblivi-o." "I like your dorky haircut." "Okay." "You wanna hit close there?" "When I'm with you everything's all right..." "Okay, so be honest." "All I know is how I feel" "When you're with me" "Waste my time" "Waste my time" "I guess I was holding you back." "I don't know." "It still feels like the vocals are missing something." "What do you think?" "You and Shay, huh?" "On a date?" "Oh please." "We're just hanging out." "I don't think he's a good idea, Jude." "Well, he's not an idea, he's a person." "A person I don't think you should see anymore." "What is this?" "I came here to work on my song, not hear some lecture." "Jude, you don't get it." "Whatever he told you, he told a million girls before." "In a week, he won't remember your name and I'll be left picking you up" " off the floor as usual." " You're wrong Tommy." "As usual." "By the way?" "It was a date." " I tried my best, D." " And the single crucifies." "You passed the test." "But something happened with Shay." "I don't know, he wants to bounce." "So you're leaving?" "I can't believe I'm saying this, but that sucks." "Well, what can I do?" "My song's finished, and you're shockingly immune to my smooth self." "Really?" "Look, after yesterday I really do owe you an apology." "But I'd rather give you this." "It's my song and I thought that it sounded better with your sound." "So I was thinking... maybe we could record it together." "Yo, put that back, man." "Uncle D." "Change of plans." "I want Tom to produce the whole album." "That's cool." "Georgia!" "Call me Shay on the M-I-C when you listening to me" "You be listening to beat-boppin' to the rhythm that we give 'em" "When we hit 'em with the beats on the streets" " Don't forget the way we livin' yo..." " Waste my time, waste my time" "Rest assured that I'll be yours" "Baby you could be mine" "It's all about hanging out" "Cause you know how to waste my time" "You know how to waste my time" "Subtitles:" "Willow's Team" "Transcript:" "Raceman"

"You can't go around telling people that..." " Liam, mate, go and get in the bath." " Don't wanna." "Do as you're told!" "They were going to expel him." "Which means education inspectors, which means home visits, which means social services, because, in case you hadn't noticed, no-one's bringing us up!" "is that what you want, busybodies crawling all over the house?" "Authorities deciding what's best for us?" "Cos that's what's gonna happen." "We'll all be broken up, thrown into care, or fostered out to the nearest friggin' taker." " Why didn't you tell us?" " What would you have done, Lip?" " Stopped shagging for five minutes?" " Expelled?" "What for?" "They think we're atheists." "He keeps denouncing God." "Well, where did he get that from?" "Who told him God don't exist?" "Don't blame me. I say prayers." "It was me." "Why?" " Cos it's true." " Debs, he's a little kid!" "Exactly, so we shouldn't be telling him lies about superior beings!" "You've done some screwy things in the past, Debs, but this takes the fucking medal." "So what did you tell 'em?" "How did they buy it?" "It's a collection of different cancers." "They treat it with monthly chemo sessions." "I've got a letter from the hospital detailing his treatment schedules." "But you haven't got a letter because he's not a fucking patient." "Don't worry." " She didn't wanna see it." "People never do." " Maybe he just gets better." " Overnight?" " No, he's right. lt's our only way out of it." "We let his hair grow back and pretend the treatment's worked." "But it can't leave this room." "The less people know, the more chance we've got of burying this." "Yeah, one sec." "ALL SHOUT AT ONCE" "Hang on, hang on, I've only got one pair of hands!" " Pint, please." " l ordered two lagers... lt's not rocket science!" "How long have you been coming in here for?" "What do you want, love?" "A lager?" "No problem." " ls it two pints?" " l asked for crisps." "Night school, my arse..." " Jez, can I borrow these, please?" " Yes, yeah, go on, take 'em." "Thanks." "Come on, Lillian, we're three deep at the bar here." "For example, in the sentence, "l am going to the bar to buy two beers,"" "we have two examples of how the same sounding word is used in different contexts, but if I were to add, "Would you like a beer too?"..." "..we can see how the third meaning comes into play." "Open your textbooks at page three, and there are some straightforward examples of this rule." "Have a look yourselves and then we'll..." "we'll go through it together." "Just gonna nip to the toilet, miss." "Dirty bitch." "Wants me in detention." "Corporal punishment." "I've been a naughty boy..." "Are you gonna be long?" "Erm, I'm fixing the cistern!" "Use the other one." "Which other?" "Fuck should I know?" "Nip out the fire door!" "I've nothing to bloody wipe with." "Cheers, mate." "Do people think I'm poorly?" "No." "Well, sort of." "Liam, listen to me carefully, right." "It's just a game we have to play, so if you do exactly what I tell you to do then we won't get into trouble." "So if people think you're poorly, that's OK." "You have to let them think that, right?" "It's all part of the game." "Do you understand?" "Off you go." "We've got a problem!" "You got any spare change there for the Little Liam fund?" "Oh, cheers." "Thanks ever so much." "Ta." "Got any spare change in your pockets, gents?" "Dig deep in these pockets." "There you go." "Ah, that's brilliant, thanks ever so much, ta." "Brilliant, ta." "A pound!" "is that it?" "Little kiddie at death's door and you can only manage a pound!" "We're sending him to Disneyland, not Camelot!" "Sorry to hear about your Liam." "It's a crying shame." "I thought it were t'other one first - that idiot from Oasis." "I said to Maureen, "He can pay for his own trip, money he's making." Sorry." "If they've started collecting wedge we're in deep shit." "How did Jez find out?" "Father Crichton." "He's touring pubs with his collection tin." " Happy now?" " l didn't know they'd send him to Disneyworld!" "I'll go with him." "They've got massive rides, like Space Mountain, not just Mickey Mouse." " This is out of control." " There's only one thing for it." "We're gonna have to go down there and tell 'em the truth." "Stop it before it goes any further." " l'm not doing it." " We'll all do it." "Thanks ever so much." "Very generous." "God bless ya." "Oh, thank you." "Chemotherapy is a modern miracle." "Absolutely." "May I buy you a drink, Frank?" "Absolutely." " What the fuck's going on?" " Now, Dad, listen..." "Me own kiddie." "And no-one tells me." "I'm the last to know, as usual." "I have to find out in the pub, off strangers." "is this how it is now?" "is this how we've ended up?" "Me own kids keeping secrets from me." "Well, suppose I've only meself to fucking blame, haven't I?" "But you could have fucking..." "My little Liam!" "Why...?" "Lickle Liam..." "He's me own flesh and blood." "No, Dad, look it's..." "Community is about sticking together and that's what we're gonna do so it's my pleasure to declare the Liam Gallagher Appeal officially open." "APPLAUSE" " Frank. I came as soon as I heard." " Oh, Mum, listen..." "Not now. lf we tell them, everyone'll know." "Liam dying!" "It's a wonder you can remember what he looks like." "Who rattled your fucking cage?" "When did you last spend the day with him?" "Take him out." "Have fun." "Call yourself a father." "Hang on a minute..." "Fuckin'..." "She's right, Frank." "He needs his father." "They all need their father." "We should be there for them, like proper parents." "Well, well, yeah, yeah, course. I mean..." "We could move in!" "Then we'd all be together." "Me, you and the kids." "One big happy family under the same roof." "(We need to talk.)" "Oh, my God." "He's like summat from Chernobyl." "(Kev) Debbie needs to see a shrink." "How cracked have you got to be to make summat like that up?" "She's a young girl trying to bring up a kiddie that doesn't belong to her." " We should be praising her." " For making up cancer, Veronica?" "For coping, with no parents and a bunch of brothers who expect her to behave like their mother." "They're gonna kill us, you know that." "Hundreds of pounds have gone in." "Wages, benefits." "For what?" "It's a fucking sham." "If we tell people the truth, what's the worst that can happen?" "Remember Teresa Tyler." "Read all about it!" "Fake charity woman torched from home." "Heartless bitch in fear of her life!" "Read all about it!" "If they think you've used a kid to extort money, they will build a fucking bonfire." "We could just say it was a mistake." "Like we thought he had cancer, but we found out it was really mumps." "Least I'm trying." "We've gotta keep schtum, even if it means not telling me dad and Sheila." " You can't let 'em think he's dying." " He can't be trusted!" "It's only for a few days." "When it blows over we'll tell them the truth." "It won't do Frank any harm to love his son a bit harder, will it?" "You finished talking about me now?" "We can't just move in there, Sheila." "He needs a mother, Frank." "Yeah, but they've done all right so far." " Frank, he's your son!" "Come on." " l know that, but... lt's like Marti Caine said, "You should go into battle" " "like it's your worst enemy."" " Look what happened to her." "laughing" "Laugh all you like." "I borrowed these off your mam!" " Where's everyone gonna sleep?" " See?" " Aren't these two gonna want their own room?" "We'll have to convert the living room into a granny flat, then no-one will be able to get next door." "We won't have any privacy." "Not that we've got anything to hide or anything, but we are adults, with very adult needs." "No, no." "No, Sheila, it's not gonna work." "I don't know, the logistics are all to cock." "I'm gonna have to sit down and rethink..." "What the fuck...?" "What's this?" "is this normal?" "Who thinks this is normal?" " lt's for Sue's depression." " Lifting or deepening?"

"I want a direct route to oblivion." " l don't get it." " What's not to get?" "Council donates a minibus, which immediately gives the whole thing a ring of authenticity." "We fill it full of young unfortunates, send it to France and voila, the appeal's done its job." "Not all about Liam, he's just one of a bunch kids, which stops that reporter sticking her nose where it's not wanted." "What do you get out of it?" "Good publicity for the council."

"Even after everything that we found?" "The bomber wanted me guilty." "That was their plan from the start." "And my breaking you out ended that plan." "Liam:" "Exactly." "And we can't find out who they are until they get back to work, which means making them think that Alex is behind bars." "So we give them what they want and wait to catch their finger on the trigger." "That's one hell of a risk." "If we want to find the second bomb, it's a risk we're gonna have to take." "We know that the bomber planned their attack around the Democratic national convention." "That resumes tomorrow, which means we have 24 hours to catch them." "And how do we do that exactly?"

"But he might as well be the freaking road runner afterwards, he's out of there so fast." "Have you asked him about it?" "Yeah." "I can't even get a word out." "He starts backing away if I even smile at him." "Hm." "You run from relationships, right?" "What are you scared of?" "Ha ha." "I just don't expect to be around long enough to enjoy them." "Well, you're stuck here for the next 10 weeks like the rest of us." "And so is Ryan, right?" "Dad, I'm begging you." "Just leave Shelby alone." "I promise you, her sister is real." "Okay, what if I find proof?" "Then you'll leave her alone?" "Where's my towel?" "Hey, looking good, Spartacus." "[Laughter]" "That's really funny, guys."

"I saw it." "What the hell do you think you saw?" "Huh?" "Tell me." "Look, I don't want to call you out in public or anything, but if I..." "I'll call you out right here." "Stay out of my business, or I'll start poking in yours." "[Locker door slams]" "You're still here." "I thought you were leaving Quantico." "I am." "Flight's booked." "Got a whole new undercover assignment and everything." "Why?" "Not fast for you?" "What do you want me to say, Ryan?" "That I'm happy you're moving on?" "That I'm afraid I'm gonna miss you?" "Yeah, that's pretty nice." "Keep those coming." "Look, I need a favor, okay?" "I just had a pretty weird moment with Natalie." "You know that scar that she has here?" " I do." " I think it's fake." " You're kidding me." " No." "I saw it peeling off." "Well, if that's the case, then you should probably tell somebody about it right away." "Yeah, I'd rather just find out what's going on and talk to her about it." "I was just wondering if you could call your friends back at HQ, find out something for me." "One last favor before I hit the road, huh?" "Well, you know I can't say no to you." "The C.I.A., the NSA," "Congress, even the White House itself..." "What do they all have in common?" "If you want to work there, you have to go through us first." "Every year, the FBI conducts over 10,000 background checks, most of them on behalf of other agencies." "Starting today, you'll be helping me vet the final applicants for a new class of new agent trainees." "Like the class before you, you will verify the background checks completed thus far and decide who is fit or unfit for that final coveted interview." "This is not a drill." "These are people's real lives up there." "So pair up, work together, and be right." "We all know what can happen when someone is wrong." "[Indistinct conversations]" "Simon:" "Raina, do you want to work with me?" "Nimah:" "She's working with me." "Hey, um, how's Ryan?" "Hospital says he's stable, but he won't be getting out for a while." "Agent Kearns just got home. 86th and Columbus." "We need a surveillance team standing by." "Surveillance will be up in five." "Liam, what do the agents on this detail think they're doing?" "Very comprehensive background checks so when the real bomber makes a move, meets an accomplice," " plants the second bomb..." " We have eyes on them." "Hey, I'm sorry I doubted you." "I hope you know that." "I've made so many mistakes." "Hey, let's make today the day we stop doing anything that we regret." "Thank you." " It's good to have you back." " I never left." "Been here the whole time." "In handcuffs, remember?" "Miranda, Liam, everyone's accounted for." "All right." "Let's fire it up." "[Beeping]" "Congratulations." "Nice work." "Our surveillance team will take it from here." "Now it's time to pivot to the bomb hunt." "I want an update with all our current leads in the bullpen in five." "The DNC restarts in 21 hours." "Let's make them count." "We need to watch them, too." "You want me to spy on my own team?" "I've already looked into them." "I think they've earned my trust, Miranda." "Or biding their time until the right moment." "We could put trails on them without them even knowing it." "I am not gonna lie to them." "They're my friends." "I know it's hard, but it's the only way to be sure." "Miranda, you once told us never to turn our backs on the people who needed you the most." "It's the people of New York who need you the most now." "Do it." "So, we're up there, Clayton's down there." "My dad is not gonna like it when he finds out you're working behind his back." "Will you leave me alone, Caleb?" "This feels so wrong." "Doing the right thing often does." " Give me the twins." " I have a lead on one of the components I should follow up on." "Show me Asher." "Background investigations can challenge your skills as an agent in every way." "Harvard JD/MBA, Peace Corps?" "He teaches hot yoga in Copley Square." "Yeah, well, two accusations of sexual harassment." "I guess that yoga really was hot." "Oh, my God." "Look deep inside them to see what they don't want you to see to find out what an applicant is hiding." "Iraq, Afghanistan..." "The guy's so brave, he's signing up for wars faster than we can start them." "Too bad he wasn't brave enough to pay his child support." "I'm sorry, buddy." "Denied." "He's shirtless in every picture." "Hey, abs aren't illegal." "Trust me." "Mm, but periscoping your ayahuasca trip at burning man definitely is." "♪ Without a question ♪" "♪ don't wait for life ♪" "♪ when I shine, you shine, always on your side ♪" "She speaks six languages and runs her own small business." "People with that much experience tend to have a storied past." "Don't you think so, Simon?" "Miranda:" "Uncover the real person and ask yourself," ""can I trust this person with my life?"" "Caleb:" "Can you help me with this last one?" "She's from your part of the world." "Mm, what do I get for it?" "Ooh." "Snacks." "Plenty of them." "All the sunchips and combos the vending machine can offer." "Hand it over." "I'll take a look." "♪ Don't wait till I put up a fight ♪" "♪ you won my heart ♪" "Did you ever think, if we're vetting them, who vetted us?" "♪ Don't wait for life ♪" "Hey." "Danny?" "Amin, right?" "One of two?" "When I first saw you, I thought it was odd that none of our class vetted you." "And now we all know why." "It's cool." "I kind of wanted to talk to you about that." "We're vetting the new class, and I could use some advice." "I'm all yours." "I have this excellent candidate." "I'm worried she'll be cut just because she spent some time in Syria." "I've been asking around, and I heard you also had some controversial candidates." "Oh, yeah." "Like that guy in your class that volunteered for the I.D.F.?" "Yeah." "Walk with me." "[Beeping]" "Thank you, Miss Wyatt, for not updating your O.S." "[Rhythmic knock on door]" "[Door opens]" " Alex:" "Hey." " Hey, hey." "So, I got some information back on Vasquez." "The only thing I could find that needed a high-level clearance is a restraining order that she has against a guy named Edgar Beltran." "Perks of being an agent, huh?" "Special agent." "I told you." "He's a garden-variety dirtbag." "Drug charges up and down Texas." "Well, at least until 2011." "I wonder what he did that she needs protection from him." "Have you guys seen Caleb?" "Um, no." "I was just coming to tell you, wonder bread's on your computer." "You have got to be kidding me." "You couldn't leave it alone, could you?" "[Thud, door opens]" "What are you doing?" "Hey, Shelby." "Your Internet's faster than mine." "Brandon uses all the bandwidth watching porn." "Hand over the flash drive now." "What flash drive?" "[Groans]" "Okay, hey, look, I know it doesn't look like it, but I swear I am helping you." "In what world is this helping me?" "Do you know what a mahal is?" "What did you say?" "Talking to my sister." "About what exactly?" "[Pounding]" "Everybody out in the hall right now." "Let's go." "[Pounding]" "Let's go!" "All right, listen up." "There's been an emergency session of the new agent review board called." "Classroom." "Right now." "This is not a drill." "Uh-oh." "That's not good." "Not good?" "That's terrible." "Well, someone's packing their bags tonight." "[Sighs]" "[Indistinct conversations]" "You diverted every resource in the greatest manhunt in FBI history for the wrong person." "You helped a suspected terrorist escape." "If it wasn't for me, even if Alex was exonerated, you'd be in jail right now." "Are you saying I should thank you for my freedom?" "You should thank me." "I'm the one who saw the truth." "Alex:" "Simon's on the move." "I'll call in a follow unit." "Who is Wyatt talking to?" "Bring it up." "Give me audio." "Shelby:" "It's the right thing to do." "We both know that this was a mistake." "Clayton, please." " Did she say "Clayton"?" " Just ki... just kill it right now." "No, no, no." "Alex, you can't protect her." "We need to know everything." "But won't everything be permanently on her case files?" "Are you sure Shelby is definitely not guilty?" "Are you?" "Raina's on the move." "Bring her down." "Uh, don't lose her." "Find her." "King James hospital." "What..." "what is she doing there?" "I don't know." "But we need to find out who's in that room." "That's Hamza Kouri, the leader of the cell that she and Nimah infiltrated." "Why is Raina visiting him?" "Nimah:" "Is something wrong?" "Kill the visual." "You all seem worried." "We need to keep this area clear." "I just need this FISA application fast-tracked." "I'll come find you." " Thank you." " Mm-hmm." "What did she see?" "That was the agent trailing Simon." "He's meeting someone at the Sobel Triangle in south Williamsburg." "Get that." "Oh, my God." "We need to call in Simon right now." "_" "Mm-hmm." "Why?" "Because that man he's meeting..." "That man makes bombs." "All right." "Take your seats." "The new agent review board is about to begin." "Shelby:" "What were you even looking for?" "Look, my father doesn't think that your sister's real." "Of course she is." "She's my sister." "Yeah, I know, but he thinks that you're getting conned, and he's gonna go after you, so I have to find proof." "Shelby, I swear I'm the good guy here." "This narb could be about my sister." "You could've just ruined my career." "You have never seen my father go after somebody before." "He could assassinate somebody without even picking up a gun." "Besides, people get catfished all the time." "My sister's the only family I have left in the world." "She's not a lie." "Those photos are proof that you've met her many times over 15 years." "Nobody catfishes somebody for 15 years." "Natalie, you can talk to us." "Where?" "You're always behind my back." "[Scoffs] Listen to me." "Who is Edgar Beltran, and why do you have a restraining order against him?" " Stay out of my life." " We're just trying to help." "I'll remember that when I'm taking a cab to the airport after they kick me out." "Oh, come on." "You don't know this is about you." "You have done enough." "I'm the one getting narb'd, right?" "'Cause of you?" "That's where you were." "You were trying to get me kicked out." "You once said nobody knows anybody, right?" "So maybe you're the reason why we're here, and maybe everyone will learn about the real Simon Asher once and for all now that I know they should, too, right?" "Eh, mahal?" "Miranda:" "The new agent review board investigates any and every breach of the Nat code of conduct." "It also assesses the fitness of the accused to continue on at Quantico." "Natalie Vasquez, will you please step forward?" "Natalie, we have reason to believe that you have been less than candid on your application." "I didn't lie." "How did you get that scar on your neck?" "I ask you again, how did you get that scar?" "One of the field counselors this morning saw that scar coming off your skin." "It's not real, is it?" "No." "It is not." "Explain yourself." "Who's Asher talking to?" "Oren Shelef." "He's an explosives expert." "Lives in south Williamsburg." "Asher knows him from his time from the I.D.F." "He took me to see him on Tuesday." "Miranda:" "We need audio." "We can't get any closer." "Our tails would be made." "There's no cover." "Simon's smart." "He knows he's being watched." "Look, tell them to keep their distance but to get in position in case they run." "_" "_" "_" "[School bell rings]" "Okay, what's our play now?" "Go, tell them." "Tell them to take them before they run." "Man:" "All units, bring in the targets." "[Indistinct conversations]" "Stop the bus!" "Alex:" "Simon is six steps ahead." "He always is." "We lost him." "I had a boyfriend back in Laredo." "He was bad news." "He hurt me." "Not physically." "Emotionally?" "He made sure I lived in fear of every move he made, made sure I knew I was never safe, and I was too scared to leave." "When someone hits you, people can see the bruise, but no one can see what Eddie did to me." "I got pregnant, and that was it." "I had to get away, but he wouldn't let me." "And I couldn't have my daughter grow up with the same fear that I had." "So when he said that he'd sue for full custody," "I gave that judge something she can see, and I got to keep my girl." "Where is she now?" "After she was born, he got his life together." "When I applied here, he said if I got in and I left even for five months, he'd find a way to get her back, and he has." "[Voice breaking] I never lied to you." "Not to you, not to the agents that did my checks." "I never mentioned it, and they never asked." "But you let them believe it." "You kept wearing it." "Why?" "I was too afraid that if I took it off," "I would lose her for good." "Well, technically, you didn't lie." "You withheld." "And withholding can compromise any one of you as an agent." "Any secret, no matter how small, can be used as a weapon by someone who wants something from you." "This scar isn't a secret." "It's a reminder of who I used to be." "It's a symbol." "It's no different than Parrish's ohm bracelet or Wyatt's plane piece." "How I choose to remind myself of my sacrifice, of being away from my girl, of my fight, that isn't anything anyone can compromise." "The board will retire to deliberate." "We will return once we've reached a decision." "Natalie..." "[Door closes]" "Simon is the one who should be up there, not you." "And why's that, judge Judy?" "Simon has given people real scars." "He should have never been allowed in this place." "[Murmuring]" "What are you talking about, Nimah?" "Nimah, please." "Simon Asher is a war criminal." "Why did you go to visit Hamza?" "What are you talking about?" "I saw you." "I thought he might know something about the second bomb." "I saw you kiss him." "Are you spying on me?" "Not me." "Them." "They're watching all of us." "Why did you go to see him?" "Are you in love with him?" "[Sighs]" "He's a lost human being, Nimah." "He's been oppressed all his life, and he's trying to fight for what he thinks freedom is in the only way he's ever known." "He doesn't really want to hurt anyone." "That's not what I heard him say when I slept with him for our mission." "How can you still be so naive?" "You wouldn't understand." "You never had faith in anyone." "You need to come up with a better story for when they interrogate us, okay?" "What do you mean?" "We got units out to Asher's home, office, known associates." "You can't come in here." "Watch me." "Oh, wait." "You already are." "Nimah." "What's going on?" "Oh, my God." "They've been watching us this whole time." "We're still suspects?" "Who authorized this?" "How long has this been happening?" "It shouldn't matter if you have nothing to hide." "Everything that you recorded is now on the record forever, no matter how personal everything we said or did while under surveillance is gonna live in an official transcript for the rest of our careers." "Yeah, if we have careers left." "Do you even trust us?" "After everything I've done for you?" "Of course I trust you." "I trust all of you." "You're my team." "You're my family." "Then somebody better explain now." "Simon:" "Don't bother." "Simon?" "I'm the only one that knows the truth." "I'm the one who planned Grand Central." "♪" "Grand Central was suspicious to me from the start." "Such a large target, so few casualties." "Reminded me of something I designed back at Quantico." "Designed?" "In my spare time, which I had plenty of after you turned everyone against me." "Wait." "Are you saying you're responsible for Grand Central?" "No, I planned a political act, a statement on behalf of a group of people who are sick and tired of us killing each other." "Two bombs." "Simon." "One under Temple Emanu-El, the other under the 96th Street Mosque." "A warning would be issued approximately one hour before..." "A bomb threat on the subway lines that run underneath each." "When the final transit evacuated the area according to MTA bomb-threat procedures, a remote device on the tracks would be triggered." "Which we know is how the Grand Central bomb was triggered." "When I read the report today and saw the GCT was triggered by the final train evacuating, I knew." "Somebody stole my plans and used them for themselves." "Someone at Quantico." "How do we know it wasn't you?" "Because I never wanted my bombs to go off." "What did you want?" "I wanted to save the world." "He spent time in Gaza." "We know that." "But did you know that it was in service of the Israeli defense forces?" "Yeah, and I was proud to serve." "I believe in the Jewish homeland." "They made me into a translator, sometimes during interrogations, but I did not hurt anybody." "You didn't hurt anyone?" "Really?" "Then who did?" "Who killed those unarmed civilians, shot at ambulances, targeted hospitals and schools?" "Hamas hides in schools." "They use civilians as human shields." "I'm not defending Hamas." "And even if they did this, what you have done is as wrong." "War is wrong." "I learned that firsthand in hostile territory when everyone around me was trying to kill me." "You have no idea what that is like." "We were born in Lebanon in a civil war, and that's all we knew for the first eight years of our lives before we came here." "So don't you tell me what I know." "There's no way you were just a translator." "We have seen your skills with firearms." "We've seen you invent a whole persona." "What did you do?" "What did they make you do?" "They didn't make me do anything." "I volunteered." "Simon, please say the truth." "I was a translator." "Okay?" "That's all." "Until one day, my platoon leader told me that they couldn't find who they were looking for." "He asked me to help." "How did you help them?" "By getting close to women, to lure them to interrogations on the whereabouts of their husbands." "I thought that they were just gonna ask questions like they always did." "[Breathing shakily]" "[Voice breaking] I didn't know that they..." "I didn't find out until later that my platoon leader had gone rogue." "He'd snapped from he's seen over there." "I was just following orders, okay?" "I was just doing what I was told." "But I knew it was wrong." "I wanted to do good." "I really wanted to be good." "[Crying]" "I'm so sorry." "Blowing up a mosque or a synagogue doesn't change the world." "It happens every day." "Not here, it doesn't." "And it was never gonna happen, either." "My design was intentionally flawed." "I wanted the bomb to be found so that people would finally wake up on both sides and start talking to each other." "Peace is the only solution." "There is no other way out." "But you never went through with it." "Look, I am not responsible for Grand Central." "Somebody stole my plans, fixed the flaws, and used them for themselves." "I am not a murderer." "Then, who is, Simon?" "Could be anyone." "We could be looking at him right now." "At least that's what you think, isn't it?" "But it isn't me." "Where do you think you're going?" "Home... to get my affairs in order." "I'm guessing it's only a matter of hours before I'm arrested for treason." " Simon, wait." " What?" "For what?" "What do you want from me?" "I gave you my friendship, my confidence, my loyalty..." "We all did." "And the second you had the chance to do the same, you turned on us." "Simon." "No, he's right." "She was just doing her job." "We all are." "We've been through too much together to end up like this." "Being treated like names on a list?" "We've risked our careers." "We've... we've taken bullets." "We put everything on the line for her." "For you when you needed it the most." "Where were you when we needed the same?" "Huh?" "No, I'll tell you where." "Hiding behind those monitors." " [Voice breaking] Shelby, please." " No." "This morning, we said we weren't gonna make any more choices that we regret." "So I hope that you can live with this, Alex." "I really do." "When this is over, you'll be a hero." "You'll be famous." "Us?" "We won't even have our names." "Great work, Parrish." "Enjoy your parade... alone." "[Sobbing]" "Nimah, stop this." ""Stop this."" "He's a war criminal." "No, a soldier isn't a criminal just because you don't believe in their war, Nimah." "Are you defending your own kind?" "No, I'm not." "I'm standing up for a man who's gonna make a great special agent someday." "Probably a better one than I am." "Don't you mean a better special agent than you're gonna be?" "No, he doesn't." "Just tell them." "[Sighs]" "You know, Simon and Vasquez aren't the only ones in here with a secret." "I'm not a trainee." "I'm a special agent who was assigned to Quantico to work undercover." "And I can tell you that Vasquez and Simon deserve to be here because of their secrets, because of their rage." "Vasquez, what you've done for your daughter..." "It's that fight that is gonna drive you to be a great agent." "And, Simon, when you threw me against a wall," "I mean, we were eye to eye, and I saw the soldier inside of you," "I saw that pain, and I get it." "You know, we've all made mistakes." "We all have secrets." "But everybody here..." "Every single one of you..." "Has earned the right to serve." "Thank you, Special Agent Booth." "You can take your seats." "Everyone in this room volunteered to put their duty ahead of their conscience." "What we do when we follow orders may not always be fair, and it may not always be right." "But it is what is asked of us, and it is what we have to live with." "Natalie Vasquez, will you please step forward?" "Natalie, the board has decided that you are fit to continue your time here at Quantico, given a two-week supervisory probation." "You are all dismissed." "You can continue vetting the new nats in the morning." "[Indistinct conversations]" "Mr. Asher, a moment please?" "So, you're not undercover, too?" "No?" "Okay." "That's good." "I'm just checking, because Special Agent Booth and everything." "I am not." "Are you?" "Look, I'm sorry." "I guess we both know that you can be so close to someone and still have no idea who they really are." "They can smile but be a monster on the inside." "They can say they care for you and betray you." "I wasn't trying to betray you." "You thought you were taking care of something" "I would have never noticed myself." "I am taking care of something..." "No, you didn't." "You made me doubt my sister." "And now you're gonna help me get rid of those doubts once and for all." "So, is everyone freaking out about the agent in their midst?" "I did always think it was weird how good you were at everything." "[Chuckles]" "Almost as good as you." "So, jump street..." "[Both laugh] you really think I'm gonna make one hell of an agent?" "I think these clowns are lucky to have you." "[Chuckles]" "Am I interrupting?" "Just sending Ryan off." " I owe you." " No." "Maybe one day, I can save your life." "Hey." "Hey, hey." "You asked me this morning why I hadn't left yet." "Yeah, well, it's hard to go back to the real world." "I can see that." "This is my real world." "I could've kept this undercover thing going for forever." "I didn't want to leave you." "I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out who the real Ryan Booth is." "What you did back there?" "I think I saw him." "♪ I'll be high above the Earth ♪" "So, what's next?" "[Chuckles]" "Um..." "You go back to your job." " Los Angeles." " Mm-hmm." "I graduate, maybe go to New York." "Well, that's the best office." "We e-mail." "We text." "Oh, like each other's posts, of course." "[Laughs]" "And maybe, just maybe, get really hot for each other when we're in the same city..." "Mm." "until one of us loses interest and gets married." "[Chuckles] Again." "Making us just another memory that keeps us up at night." "Oh, come on." "I think we can do better than that." "I hope so."

"Your assault of a fellow trainee is." "Did you or did you not attack Ryan Booth your third week here?" "Yes." "An unreported assault of a fellow trainee is automatic grounds for dismissal." "It's beyond even my discretion." "Where was your discretion when you locked me in a bathroom for 24 hours?" "How do you justify this?"

"Previously on Bionic Woman..." "Dinner." "Tomorrow night." "That guy, Tom, is under some scrutiny." "He only has a paper trail for the last six years." "Before that, nothing." "We have to assume that he's the enemy, Jaime." "I don't believe it." "My gut tells me he has nothing to do with this."

"Hey, Agent Hastings." "Hey, yourself, Agent Sommers." "So, I was just calling to make sure we were still on for the family dinner tomorrow night." "Wow, you're keen." "I thought it was just my-sister's-making-dinner, dinner." "What's she making?" "Pasta carbonara, which I actually hate, but don't tell her." "So, what are you doing right now?" "Working." "And, what are you wearing?" "You can't ask me that now." "All right, all right." "I got it." "Carry on." "Just be careful." "Okay?" "Don't do anything crazy." "No heroics." "I'll call you back." "So, where were we?" "Yeah." "Don't do anything crazy." "Hey, Jaime." "We don't have heavy cream or bacon, do we?" "You making a heart attack?" "Look, do you want me to cook dinner for your boyfriend, or not?" "I want you to cook for him." "I don't want you to kill him." "And he's not my boyfriend." "Yeah, tell your face that." "It's really..." "It's nice to see you happy, Jaime." "I mean, you tell more jokes, and you buy me more stuff, so..." "And because I'm inherently selfish and I want this to continue," "I'm gonna make sure you make a really good impression on this guy, tonight." "Okay?" "Okay." "So, just leave it all up to me." "I will take care of everything." "Great." "All right." "Oh!" "Can I have 50 bucks to pay for all this?" "Morning, Chatty." "Chatty?" "Yeah, I took us a look at your cell phone log." "You were talking to Tom while you were out on a stakeout." "Not cool." "It's not your job to monitor my calls." "I am just saying, had you not been distracted, you could have taken the guy out with a lot less risk." "What risk?" "I'm bionic." "Bionic." "Not immortal." "And the risk I'm talking about, is not you." "Agent Sommers, go." "It's to Berkut." "Exposure." "You know what?" "Don't worry about it." "You're learning." "A general rule of thumb." "Relationships and counterespionage don't mix." "Is that why James Bond never had a steady girlfriend?" "I think having a steady girlfriend is over-rated." "You're such a guy." "Fifty caliber, depleted uranium tip." "This thing will eat your guts." "Created specifically for..." "For the Chambliss Optical Tracking system." "Which gives this rifle an effective range of up to two and a half miles." "Lethality," "100%." "Two and a half miles." "That's further than I can see." "Yeah." "At least a mile and a half farther than any other rifle on Earth." "Something the world really needed." "We developed it." "We, Berkut?" "No." "We, the United States of America." "Fortunately, we recovered four dozen rounds from your bad driver last night." "However, the Army managed to lose six dozen rounds along with the rifle." "Lose?" "It was stolen out of an armored vault." "It ended up pointed at President Rudhan," "Dictator of Imara, two weeks ago." "So, if the ammunition is in this country now, then..." "Then the rifle is, too." "And President Rudhan will be here in three days." "He has a horse racing at the Bay Maiden Cup." "Supposedly, he trained the horse himself." "Why?" "Is somebody trying to kill him?" "Along with being good with horses, he rules by political terror, abduction, assassination, torture." "And that's not just people he doesn't trust." "Their families, the villages, all the people." "I know." "I spent some time there." "We're gonna protect this guy?" "Listen, they can kill him all day long in Imara." "But if it happens here, it's only going to empower the anti-American nationalists." "Leaving a power vacuum in Imara." "To be occupied by a fresh generation of Jihadists." "Taliban comes to Africa." "Right." "So we protect the bad guy." "Yeah." "Every move that His Excellency will be making while in this country, is shown here." "We trust that you, along with the CIA and the Secret Service, will insure that his visit is a pleasant one." "Security won't be a problem." "Personally, I don't see the need for American bodyguards." "I have complete confidence in my men." "The Imaran Security Forces are the most respected soldiers in Africa." "Feared, is a more accurate word." "You don't like our country?" "No, I love your country." "It's your genocidal dictator that..." "No, not as much." "Look at the time." "We should do that perimeter check before it gets dark." "It's easy to sit in judgment." "But we are trying to build a nation from the ruins of colonial exploitation." "Our country would be torn apart without a strong leader to keep the peace." "Peace?" "What kind of peace are you talking about?" "I was there." "I watched your President kill thousands of his own people." "So what are we looking for?" "Places with a clear shot, and a good hide." "If the President's suite's here, then..." "He won't be there, because there's a helipad on the rooftop next door." "Won't be there, because that building overlooks that one." "And if I had the pleasure of taking this monster down, I would be all alone on that rooftop." "Right there." "You've done this before, haven't you?" "Taken people out on rooftops?" "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." "Churchill?" "No, George Orwell." "Damn." "I've got to get out of here." "I have my therapy session with Ruth." "And then, dinner with Tom and Becca." "Well, you've got balls, I'll give you that." "An hour with Ruth can be torture." "That's not what I'm talking about." "A relationship with a CIA operative?" "After everything you've been through with relationships, lately?" "You just can't keep your nose out, can you?" "The world we work in is too intense." "This relationship is never gonna work." "Who is she?" "Who?" "The woman who broke you." "Come on." "Why do women always think it's a woman?" "I'm going to get it out of you." "Issues, Ruth?" "Jaime, maybe we should talk about why you've been resisting these therapy sessions." "Am I?" "Well, I guess because you guys make me come to them and they're boring." "I feel like a science experiment." "Well, these sessions are designed to help you." "You know what would help me, Ruth?" "If you told me about your day." "How you're feeling." "I'm a psychiatrist." "We don't do that." "Come on, Ruth." "Break the rules." "Knock yourself out." "I mean, this place is hardly inducive to opening up and feeling comfortable." "You mean, my office?" "Berkut." "Look, this place is about as warm as a hospital bathroom." "Would it kill you guys to put up a painting?" "A plant?" "Rock it, a bit?" "Time's up." "Thanks, Doc, it's been a pleasure." "Jaime." "Stop." "No." "I've already got everything how it's supposed to be." "Don't touch anything, okay?" "Calm down." "It's just dinner." "Hey, calm down." "It's just dinner, okay?" "Wait here, okay?" "Wow." "Hi." "I think I just won Mystery Date." "Here, these are for you." "Thanks." "And this." "Thank you." "Tom, I'd like you to meet my sister, Becca." "Hi." "Hi." "It's great to meet you, finally." "Yeah, you, too." "I've heard so many things about you." "Come on in." "Okay." "We're actually not going to have dinner out in the hallway." "Well, I'm relieved about that." "Here, I'll take these." "Hi." "She is adorable." "I know." "So, Tom, how long have you been involved in calculator manufacturing?" "I moved over to the company five years ago." "Wait, so, how does an executive at a calculator company and a girl who sells timeshares, how do you meet, exactly?" "I bought a timeshare." "He bought a timeshare." "That's fun." "Where was the timeshare?" "Florida." "Istanbul." "No." "It wasn't in Istanbul." "Who buys a timeshare in Istanbul?" "I'm joking." "So, who asked out whom?" "I asked her out." "I took one look at her and I knew I wasn't leaving until I asked her out." "In fact, she's the reason why I bought a timeshare in Florida." "I hate Florida." "Hello?" "Hey, Jaime." "Sudden change of plans." "President Rudhan is arriving at the airport, right now." "Okay." "I'm on my way." "I am so sorry." "Big sale?" "Huge sale." "There's a big thing, and I..." "They need a heavy hitter, and I just have to go, okay?" "I'll make it up to you." "I'm sorry." "Enjoy your meal." "Bye." "Watch out for those other brokers." "Yeah." "She does that sometimes." "Yeah." "What is this?" "It's Air Traffic Control 2.0." "Cool, right?" "I don't remember getting excited over version 1.0." "Five thousand planes in the air at any given time, and you're not excited by the software that keeps them from colliding." "It's narrow thinking, Jonas." "What's it got to do with us?" "Well, I was checking out air traffic patterns in preparation for Rudhan's flight in three days." "But, 2.0 alerted some unusual activity." "Imara flight four-eight Charlie, slow to one-six-zero." "Descend and maintain 4,000, vector to approach." "Don't get a lot of private planes registered in Imara flying to the U.S." "Maybe Rudhan's bringing in extra security." "This is why you're going to add genius to my title." "See, the software also gives me access to the computers and security cameras at Imara's airfield." "That's President Rudhan." "He boarded the plane 12 hours ago." "He's trying to sneak in under the radar." "Get Jaime on the line." "That airfield's unsecured." "Thank you, Nathan." "I'm glad somebody here is excited by advances in aviation and traffic control." "The President of Imara has had a change of plan." "He's arriving at the airport right now." "It's a perfect opportunity for the sniper." "I'm already on my way." "Antonio called me 10 minutes ago." "He couldn't have." "I just found out." "Whatever." "I'm on my way." "I am so sorry." "She's not usually like this." "She's usually a pretty considerate person." "I guess she just takes her job responsibilities really seriously." "Try not to take it personally, because it's not about you." "I mean, you're nice and I think she really likes you." "So, I bet the last thing you want to do right now, is have polite dinner conversation with some old guy you just met." "How about we start fresh?" "Take a rain check?" "I'll take the two of you out to some fabulous dinner at a great restaurant." "Maybe next week?" "Yeah." "Hey." "It was great meeting you, finally." "You too." "And..." "You know, Jaime's lucky to have a sister like you." "And I'm pretty sure she knows it." "All right." "Great." "Bye." "Bye." "Yeah, I'm here." "She just left a few minutes ago." "Greetings, Mr. President." "Antonio, the sniper." "We need to secure the President." "Get him away from the plane, now!" "What are you talking about?" "Move, move!" "Come on, move!" "Go, go, go." "Bomani, we need to get the President out of this city, out of the country, immediately." "That is not going to happen." "Let me talk to him." "Stop." "I apologize." "They don't always have the best of manners." "What do you want to tell me?" "You're not safe here." "You need to get on that plane and go home." "I mean, come on." "It's a horse race." "It's not worth dying over." "How much time have you spent in Imara?" "That would be none." "I'm not afraid to die for my beliefs and my people." "I thought I might see you here." "You're on this case?" "No." "They just called me in for backup." "Hey, where is your protective gear?" "Tom." "Don't start." "This isn't me thinking you can't handle yourself." "This is me thinking about a sniper bullet that big, which almost blew out your brains." "This is so typical of Berkut." "They think that the rules don't apply to them." "CIA always goes by the book?" "Do you mind?" "Yeah, actually, I do." "You're talking to my partner, causing yet another distraction." "So, back off." "Tom, I'll call you later, okay?" "Well, why don't you tell your partner that you don't show up to a mission like this with no protection." "She doesn't even have a weapon." "You're way in over your head, and you don't even know it." "Let's go." "We've got work to do." "I told you, CIA boy was a bad idea." "I don't need relationship advice from you, Antonio." "I spy with my little eye..." "What is it, Sommers?" "What's that?" "I don't know, a piece of rubber?" "I'm not sure if I should trust you with it." "Why is that?" "You wanna tell me why you knew that guy was arriving at the airport before Jonas even called me?" "Believe it or not, my good friend, Bomani, called me." "You wanna level with me about this woman thing?" "I was undercover in Africa about three years ago." "Working with a woman." "We were assigned on point on a raid for a terrorist training camp." "We got the location, but they got her." "I knew they were going to torture her, but I had to do my job." "Get back with the intel, and leave her there." "She was still there when the first cruise missile arrived." "The missiles were right on target." "It was considered a good mission." "I'm so sorry, Antonio." "Oh, my God." "You just made the whole thing up." "Screw you." "What?" "You don't need a story to trust me, Jaime." "Just trust me." "I'm off to Berkut to show what we learned in school today." "I'm right behind you." "This is all you got?" "I'll run some tests on it." "How long is it going to take for you to run these tests?" "You have given me a small piece of rubber." "Don't give me attitude." "In that case, I'll be at home." "I have to go let Becca yell at me." "Jaime." "Could I show you something?" "Sure." "I got a plant." "I want you to be comfortable here." "Hi." "Hey, Beccs." "I'm so sorry I had to leave you earlier." "Don't screw this one up, okay?" "He is a great guy." "He's smart, funny, kind." "He's crazy about you." "He's so much better than those loser guys you usually date." "Sorry, I know." "That's just how I feel." "I know you have a wild, self-destructive streak." "Just..." "Just keep that under control." "Okay?" "Okay." "Jaime?" "I threw out the carbonara." "I know how much you love it, but it doesn't keep, so..." "'Night, Becca." "Hello?" "Hey, Nathan." "Where are you?" "I'm in bed." "Really?" "What're you wearing?" "Focus, Nathan." "Why are you calling me?" "To gloat." "I ran my little tests on that ridiculously small, so-called piece of evidence you guys gave me a mere seven hours ago, and already..." "I already have a solid lead on where the guy might be." "Fill me in." "What you guys gave me was a piece of the sole of a high-end sneaker." "On it was chlorinated residue found in residential fountains." "I traced it back to the Waterfall Apartments." "Antonio's on his way over there right now." "Is there a team on the way?" "No, he said the guy would see that a mile away." "He's going to handle it by himself." "Without me?" "Well, he said not to bother you, just let you sleep." "He said he could handle it." "Now would be the part where you say," ""Wow, Nathan, that's really, really great work." ""You're so smart and hot." "And..."" "Just a little boy." "She appears unarmed." "Where'd she go?" "Why are you following me?" "You're going to have to talk to Agent Hastings." "You got to be kidding me." "I don't have time for this." "Okay." "You know what?" "You tell Tom Hastings you..." "You know what?" "I'll tell him myself." "I'm unavailable, so please leave a message." "Where the hell are you, Antonio?" "Nice place?" "Absolutely." "I'm glad you could come." "I can't do this anymore." "Come here." "Get your hands off me!" "You're crazy." "How can..." "They know you were here." "They're sending more agents as we speak." "Just stay away from here." "Stay away from here." "What are you doing here?" "I thought I told Nathan to let you sleep." "We're partners." "Yeah." "You're right." "Let's go do this." "He's gone." "Antonio was communicating with the assassin." "Are you sure?" "Of course I'm sure." "You want to argue with the ear?" "You know, think about it." "He knew the President was arriving sooner than you did." "He told Nathan not to bother me." "He'd be fine by himself." "He just stood there, lying to me." "Going through the motions." "And what did you do?" "Nothing." "I just pretended I didn't hear him." "Look, I haven't been doing this very long, remember?" "It's okay." "You did fine." "You did fine." "I knew he was stationed in Imara, five years ago." "I knew he had strong feelings about the leadership there." "But I didn't know they were this strong." "You're going to have to bring him in." "No, actually, you're going to have to bring him in." "You can give Antonio false information, that the President of Imara is changing his box at the racetrack." "We'll stay on his ass, bust him and the shooter." "A little change of plans." "Really?" "Rudhan's security told us they've changed the location of the President's box." "He's now going to be sitting down below." "Right there." "That totally changes the sniper's sight lines." "Yeah." "What do you want to do?" "I'll take the tower, and you can take this other one." "We can cover this, right?" "Yeah." "Let's go do it." "What's up with you, today?" "Nothing." "Did something happen with you and CIA dude?" "Maybe." "I won't say, I told you so, but they never seem to work out in this line of work." "If that's the truth, then why do you still do it?" "Sometimes I don't know." "Sorry I didn't call." "I heard you took out two of my agents." "I can't believe you had me followed." "Thanks for the vote of confidence." "Whoa, whoa." "That's not why they followed you." "Really?" "Why, then?" "When someone in the CIA starts a relationship, they have to tell the organization." "And then, they check that person out." "That's all." "So I told them that you were my girlfriend." "On paper." "Right." "You know, are you who you say you are?" "And do you live where you say you live?" "Normal stuff in our line of work." "Okay." "Are you okay with that?" "Well, not being followed, but the other thing." "I don't know." "I have so much going on right now." "Well, what's going on?" "I can't tell you." "I'll call you later, okay?" "All right." "Ladies and gentlemen, the official results are in on Race Eight." "Venus Pride in first, with a twelve-eight." "Straight Up, No Olives, second, with a five-nine." "Dennis Gold Show with..." "The horses are on their way to the gate, for the Bay Maiden Cup." "Graded stakes race with a million dollar purse." "All betting windows are now open." "You wanna tell me what the hell is going on?" "I heard you with the assassin." "I know you're in on this." "Did you tell Jonas?" "I had to tell him." "I'm not working with the assassin, but I do know her." "Her?" "Will you just tell me the truth?" "We were stationed together in Imara about three years ago." "We saw a lot of bad things." "She's been working underground against the Imaran government ever since." "She's in too deep." "She's lost." "It happens." "When I heard about the assassination attempt," "I felt like it might be her." "The night at the airport, I found a cartridge." "Hand loaded." "One done by her." "To a shooter, that is as distinctive as a fingerprint." "Once I knew it was her, I tried to stop her." "I tried to talk her out of it at the motel, the night you saw me." "Told her that this was a bad idea." "That we were onto her." "But I couldn't bring myself to take her down." "She saved my life more than once, Jaime." "That..." "That makes it a little hard to put a bullet in her." "Why the hell should I believe any of what you're saying?" "Because I'm asking you to." "You gotta believe me on this one." "I'm trying to stop this thing, just as much as you are." "I admit it." "If Jonas thinks I'm in on this, he probably had you feed me some false information about where Rudhan is sitting." "He did." "Jaime, that makes this guy an open target." "We cannot allow him to die on American soil." "You take the President, and I'll take the tower." "And they're off." "The horses have reached the back stretch." "Setting the pace slightly, followed by Leoni's Flower." "Samantha Cap coming up on the outside." "Prescott trying to squeeze through on the rail." "And it's Leoni's Flower moving to challenge Samantha Cap for second." "And coming into the final turn, it's Imari Victory ahead by five..." "Yes." "Cover the windows!" "Cover the windows!" "Secure the President!" "Everybody down!" "Get him on the move!" "Now!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Julianne, stop!" "A person doesn't see what we saw back in '02 and forget it." "Torture, executions." "You've been working private sector ops too long." "But then, you were always good at walking away from things." "Look, I didn't walk away from you." "I had to complete the mission." "You know that." "Well, now I'm going to finish my own little mission." "Take the shot, Antonio." "Shut up, Sommers." "You should have listened to her." "So she was the one who broke your heart." "Sir, you need to keep this on." "I had to get out." "It was too intense." "She always had more nerve than I did." "I should have never left her alone in Africa." "Don't ever let that happen to you, Jaime." "It's not easy to live with." "I should have had her back." "We're losing him." "Clear." "Negative." "Charge again." "162." "Clear." "First time's the worst." "What happened?" "I can't do this." "I'm not cut out for this." "Hey." "Hey." "Come on."

"This is madness." "There's only one man I know who's capable of doing this." "The survivor of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger's generation..." "Where have you been hiding for the last 20 years?" "You lost to Roger and then got apprehended by the marines..." "The man who cut off his feet, shook off his shackles, and escaped from prison." "The Golden Lion, Shiki." "This is a warning." "Fire!" "Fire!" "I wish you would've remained just a legend..." "Yet, you've resurfaced to take your revenge on this world?" "I have to find the guys." "Gomu Gomu No" "Rubber Rubber" "Fuusen" "Balloon" "A praying mantis?" "!" "One after another." "Seriously, what's wrong with this island?" "Bastard, you wanna go?" "Gomu Gomu No" "Rubber Rubber" "PISTOL" "That's right, I can't underestimate the animals on this island." "Gear Third" "Hone Fuusen" "Bone Balloon" "Gomu Gomu No" "Rubber Rubber" "GIGANTO PISTOL" "Giant Pistol" "That was dangerous." "Shrinking after using this technique is such a pain..." "This octopus looks yummy." "I wonder what that sound was..." "Who knows..." "We don't have time for that." "NO!" "What's wrong?" "Now it's ants?" "!" "You're coming for us?" "Franky, didn't you run out of fuel?" "That's right!" "It's coming back." "Just like me." "Are you guys okay?" "Now I know why they didn't go for you." "'Cause to them you don't have any substance." "Ah..." "Isn't that a bit rude?" "!" "Hanauta Sancho" "Three-Verse Humming" "Yahaza Giri" "Arrow-Notch Cut" "Yes, I'm only bones, but that's because I have an interest..." "In dieting." "Anyway, what's wrong with this island?" "Animals and bugs have evolved to a stage I've never seen before." "They exert far greater strength and intelligence than humans, and rely on that to live." "An island befitting the survival of the fittest." "INP-Fansubs Presents" "Swordsman:" "Roronoa Zoro." "Bounty: 120,000,000." "Doctor:" "Tony Tony Chopper." "Bounty: 50."

"What the hell are you trying to say?" "!" "Come to think of it, I have something to show you." "You can talk?" "!" "M-Mom?" "It's a freaking gorilla!" "Don't look at me." "You're as cold as ice, Baby-chan." "What were we thinking?" "One week ago" "What about East Blue?" "The mysterious disappearance of villages due to menacing attacks." "It appears that many villages in East Blue have disappeared overnight." "Currently, the islands we're from are fine, but I don't know how long it's gonna stay that way." "Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Usopp were born in East Blue." "I see." "Oh, was Sanji too?" "Well, I was born in North Blue, but I was raised in East Blue." "What's that?" "A relic?" "What's that?" "!" "An island...!" "Why is that island floating?" "!" "They have a flag." "Is that a vessel?" "They have a skull flag!" "Is it a pirate ship?" "A floating island-ship?" "This wind..." "This course is dangerous, Luffy." "A cyclone is approaching soon!" "Really?" "I see." "Let's inform them as well." "Hey, there's a cyclone coming!" "You sure about this?" "It seems like he's shouting something." "Are they pirates?" "They appear to be." "Hey!" "W-What's wrong, Luffy?" "Nami!" "Isn't that a Tone-dial?" "!" "So that means they've been to a sky-island as well?" "It seems like they aren't ordinary folks." "Doesn't matter who they are." "Nami." "They know how to use it." "A cyclone is approaching." "Navigate your ship to 9 o'clock." "Navigation team..." "No, sir." "There's no indication of such a thing." "The reading on the barometer appears to be normal as well." "They are heading in the 9 o'clock direction." "It's coming fast!" "Perm?" "It's a freaking rain cloud!" "Are you kidding me?" "Shiki-sama, please direct our course to 9 o'clock!" "It's a huge cyclone!" "Shiki-sama!" "Please open the door, Shiki-sama!" "Don't ever give me a false forecast again!" "Yes, sir!" "Nevertheless..." "Who is this woman who posses the knowledge to outsmart my best and brightest navigators?" "Just now, how did he come down here?" "B-Beats me." "I'm Golden Lion Shiki, a pirate." "Anyway, whose voice was it in the tone-dial?" "It was me." "So it's you, baby-chan." "You have my gratitude." "No problem." "Um, old man, how's that thing floating?" "Oh that?" "It's the result of Fuwa-Fuwa fruit." "Fluffy-Fluffy" "I can negate the gravitational pull of things I touch and have full control over them." "Here goes." "Just watch." "What the?" "Amazing!" "Old man, make me float!" "Me too!" "I'm afraid not." "I can't levitate any other humans beside myself, nor animals, or any living beings." "What?" "That's lame." "Boo~ Boo~" "Anyway, I'd like to thank you on my own turf." "It's gratitude for saving my life." "You'll come, won't you?" "Forget it." "We have to go to East Blue." "Luffy!" "Hey you, what about adventure?" "We have time to do that as much as we want later." "Can you sit still while the folks in our home-towns are in a pinch?" "Well..." "That's..." "It's decided." "Are you sure?" "I-I see..." "You're right..." "That's good." "That's how it is, so forget about it." "I'm starting to like you guys!" "I see..." "East Blue is your home, eh?" "You must be very worried." "Fine, I get it." "I'll take you there with my ability." "Are you sure?" "Thank you." "Old man, you're a good guy!" "But of course!" "Can you actually do that?" "Alright guys, prepare for battle!" "You're too hasty!" "We're up high!" "It feels so good!" "Are you guys even mentally prepared to fight?" "Good grief, I wish they'd act a little more nervous." "You're one to talk!" "I can see something!" "This is amazing!" "Are they also up here because of your ability?" "That's right." "Once I levitate something, it stays levitated in the air." "That island is huge!" "We're finally here." "Well then..." "This is Merveille!" "An island befitting adventure-lovers like you guys!" "Play to your heart's content!"

"You piece of shit!" "Hey!" "That's the evolution you mentioned?" "Yes, it's the type with fortified electricity conduction." "What evolution?" "I see..." "I'm asking you to join us anyway, so I'll let you in on this." "Originally, this island was crawling with never-before-seen evolved animals." "And it's all thanks to a plant called "IQ."" "It stimulates their brain and prompts them to evolve accordingly with their environment." "Knowing that, I collected every single IQ on this island." "We've been living on this island for 20 years, and finally, we've discovered a new kind of drug extracted from IQ!" "We call it "SIQ."" "Once we inject this into the animals, we can evolve their battle instinct." "If we continue to shoot them with this, we can invoke their atrocious nature." "That's why this island is swarming with these animals!" "What a terrible thing to do." "What is your goal?" "You will know what my goal is..." "If you become my nakama." "Like I said, I will never—" "You will!" "You will one day beg me to allow you to join." "Then, I will allow you to ask me anything you want once you've calmed down." "Because there's always something you'd want to request of your nakama, no?" ""Give me this woman!" you said." "She's out of your league, you perverted gorilla!" "What a surprise." "For a moment, I thought you were my aunt." "Just how many branches of your family tree were made up of gorillas?" "!" "They probably haven't gotten here yet because of the animals." "Nami-swan!" "Quiet down." "A bug!" "Robin-swan!" "I said quiet dow—" "A bird!" "Nami-swan!" "Why the hell are you wasting your energy?" "Robin—" "SHUT THE HELL UP, WILL YA!" "I'm gonna fall!" "I'm gonna die!" "That was close!" "Up!" "Up!" "Up!" "Huh?" "Huh?" "Sanji-kun!" "Concasse" "Crush" "Damn cat." "Good job." "Well done following my instruction!" "What now?" "Huh?" "What the hell are these animals?" "Give it a rest!" "Thank God we made it." "Chopper, lend her your fur-coat." "You're right..." "It's pretty cold..." "Like hell I could!" "You're awake?" "Huh?" "What were you doing in such a place?" "Um..." "Well..." "That's..." "Whatever, let's get out of here." "I've been in this place for a few days now, and I'm getting tired of it." "You should be able to get out of the snow in half a day." "What?" "!" "Over there." "See?" "Have we been travelling according to your instructions, Zoro?" "It's just a coincidence." "My village is just across the river." "Thanks for saving me." "My name is Xiao." "Zoro's the name." "My name is Tony Tony Chopper." "The gorilla just talked." "Don't faint!" "This island is inhabited?" "Have you noticed, Usopp?" "Yeah..." "This village, has no maidens." "This village, has no maidens." "That's what you've noticed?" "!" "Are you awake?" "I was surprised." "You suddenly fell down from the sky." "I'm glad you're doing well." "Thank you." "Thank you, madam." "Come on, don't call me madam." "And those feathers on your arms?" "You mean this?" "For some reason, people from the village have these." "Heh..." "Is this village short on food?" "Everybody is skinny." "That's because all men and maidens are summoned to the royal palace." "The remainder are unable to work, so we just live to manage the day." "Why is that?" "It sounds horrible." "Well, if we oppose Shiki, it'd spell doom for us." "Shiki?" "!" "That's right." "He has complete control over us." "Furthermore..." "Hide, you two!" "Ouch!" "What the hell are you doing?" "It's huge!" "What is that?" "It's the so-called self-propelled image-transmission den-den-mushi." "Any image captured is sent directly back to the royal palace." "We're constantly being watched." "If someone shows any signs of opposition, he or she will be killed immediately as a warning to the rest." "What's with it all of a sudden?" "It's the smell." "The inside of my nose feels like it's getting shocked." "Can't you feel it?" "It's the "Daft Green."" "Our village is surrounded by a kind of plant called Daft Green." "It protects us from the animals." "Animals hate their smell after all." "You bet." "Then cork your nose with something." "Let's go." "This is the plant?" "I can still smell it with my nose corked." "Now that you mention, it sure stinks." "You're too slow!" "Don't try to inhale too much; it's poisonous." "Say that earlier!" "Didn't I tell you not to go out the border of Daft Green?" "!" "But..." "All I wanted to do was to save Grandma..." "Xiao..." "Don't risk your life for me." "But..." "If you stay as you are..." "Grandma will..." "Thank you very much..." "Guys..." "I would like to repay you..." "We just happened to bump into her." "That's right." "She ended up helping us too." "More importantly, what's her illness?" "It's an illness called Daft." "Any part of the body with the green lump gets stiffened up, and eventually the person will be unable to move." "It's the result of inhaling too much pollen from Daft Green." "The only cure can be made from a plant called IQ, but..." "We need more than just one." "That's why she ventured into that place alone." "I'm sorry." "It's not your fault." "The bad guy is Shiki who monopolized the IQ." "Shiki?" "Did you say Shiki?" "20 years ago, humans, plants, and animals coexisted peacefully." "But that man ruined everything." "I wish they'd just leave..." "To the Sea of Stratagems..." "Can't you do anything about that?" "I've never seen this kind of illness before." "I don't want to make it worse." "Anyway, we won't get attacked by those animals as long as we stay here, right?" "Yeah." "I can still smell a little bit of Daft Green here, but at the very least, I can stand it." "But I wonder if everybody's alright." "Yeah, me too." "We'll start looking for them again after a quick rest." "I'm all worn out." "I feel weird..." "I can't move my body..." "You're telling me." "We haven't had the slightest bit of good rest for a whole week!" "What?" "It's just you..." "Sanji!" "Usopp!" "It looks like all captains have gathered at the port." "Okay, we'll make our move after the meeting." "Finally, tonight is the night?" "Return all those men back to their village." "You sure about that?" "I promised them after all." "But return just one of them..." "It's only natural to give them hope before despair." "The expression of someone falling from a high place is exceptional, no?" "Boss Shiki." "You could talk!" "Bad news." "That little girl has escaped." "What?" "It seems like she's realized that the royal palace's pool is connected directly to the sea." "She got us, but we can't allow such a rare talent to escape." "Inform all networks." "We must find her!" "Yes, sir!" "That hurts!" "Geez..." "Stop!" "But you saved me..." "Thanks." "Anyway, where are we?" "Sunny-go!" "Oh, Sunny-go!" "Luffy!" "Nami!" "I'm glad you're alright." "Good job running away from that guy." "Don't come over here!" "Where's everybody?" "This place is so big, I haven't been able to meet any of them yet." "But I didn't think I'd meet you first..." "Anyway, let's eat, this scorpion is good." "Isn't that right, Biri?" "No thank you." "Biri?" "Who?" "shock" "This bird, it's producing biri." "Right?" "I see." "You're a rubber-man, so electricity doesn't affect you." "Anyway, we found Sunny-go." "Should we wait for everyone?" "Or should we look for them?" "We'll look for them!" "crayfish" "This Zarigani-san is amazing!" "It's my custom design." "Call it Zari Davidson." "Yes!" "Zari Davidson!" "Zari Davidson!" "I can see something." "A town?" "I think so." "I bit my tongue..." "Though I have no tongue." "I told you not to jump backwards!" "It's shaking." "It's no use." "It won't listen to us." "Let's walk." "What's wrong?" "It's a village." "I saw those kinds of trees around Shiki's royal palace too." "Do you dislike that smell?" "Is that right?" "I think the area surrounded by the trees is safe from those animals." "Then, the guys could be there..." "I'm glad you're okay, Nami-san!" "I was so worried about you that I haven't been able to sleep well." "He wasn't kidding about not being able to sleep." "We haven't found Robin-chwan yet!" "You're noisy as hell!" "Huh?" "!" "Anyway, I'm just glad you're all okay." "There's even more people now." "Looks like you've gathered a crowd." "You can rest inside if you'd like." "Nami, go rest inside." "Eh?" "Okay..." "Wake up, Xiao." "Bring them some tea." "Yes." "We've found her, Shiki-sama." "Ah." "Then why don't I head off to welcome back our navigator." "They're not here." "On the other hand, why are there so many pirates gathered around here?" "Are they preparing for war?" "From the Eternal-poses they are bearing, it looks like they were summoned here by someone." "Excuse me, would you show me your panties?" "Like hell I would!" "You arms..." "Oh this?" "I think it's because we want to become birds." "Become birds?" "Do you think you can become one just because you want to?" "Yes." "Um..." "Panties..." "You guys are the Straw-Hat's mates, right?" "Huh?" "Are you guys here to seek alliance with Boss Shiki as well?" "Yeah, that's what we intend to do." "Why has Boss Shiki gathered so many pirates for?" "Why you ask?" "Don't play dumb." "Didn't you read the newspaper?" "Here!" "Huh?" "That's...!" "Eh?" "Grandma, Mom, I have big news!" "What did you say?" "It's true!" "Shuu-chan's dad has returned home!" "He said everybody will be able to return soon!" "We'll be able to see Dad and Sister soon!" "Are you sure?" "I'm not dreaming, am I?" "In other words..." "That's right." "Shiki is leaving this place." "He's going to take all of the animals with him to the Sea of Stratagems." "To East Blue!" "I see..." "East Blue is your home-town, eh?" "You will know what my goal is." "You will one day beg me to allow you to join." "Become my navigator, Baby-chan." "Because there's always something you'd want to request your nakama, no?" "It feels like I'm dreaming when there's a hope for living after being here for so long." "You're right." "I wish they'd leave for East Blue even if it was a minute or a second earlier." "Luffy..." "That's right." "That was a warning for the World Government." "In other words, Boss Shiki's intention is..." "Annihilate East Blue and then overturn the world!" "I heard that after tonight's meeting, he will send all those animals to East Blue." "If he did that, a lot of lives would be lost." "Don't mind all that." "He's doing it in order to get the World Government to surrender." "We're following a great man." "You bet!" "Come on, let's cheer!" "Cheers!" "Hey guys, don't think you can attend the meeting with your current outfits." "Wear something formal!" "Follow the dress code, right?" "Got it." "I heard there's a demonstration for us tonight." "Demonstration?" "I heard he's going to destroy the only village on this island." "Actually, I can't wait to see it!" "There's an inhabited village on this island?" "Luffy?" "Stay back, Nami!" "I've found you, Baby-chan." "Shiki!" "You're cold, Baby-chan." "You left without a word." "That hurts me deep." "Shut up, you shitty bastard." "You fooled us and took Nami-san away." "It's hard not to snatch such an elegant woman away." "If you don't want me to take her away from you, then protect her properly!" "Although, I don't think she's able to leave my side now." "Am I right, Baby-chan?" "Bastard!" "Hey, Steering-wheel!" "Don't think you can leave this place unscathed after hurting my nakama." "What are you going to do?" "Beat the crap out of you!" "Luffy!" "If you could, I'd like to see you try!" "Huh?" "Gomu Gomu No Kama" "Rubber Rubber Sickle" "Hissatsu Hi No Tori Boshi" "Sure-kill Phoenix Star" "Nanajuuni Pound Hou 72 Pound Cannon" "Arm Point" "Kokutei Rozeo Michieeri" "Kokutei Roseo Metel" "Poitrine Shoot" "Breast Shoot" "You make quite a good team." "I've gotta say you're pretty good for making me use my hand." "But now that I've used my hand, don't expect me to hold back." "Sanji!" "Let's start with you." "Sanji!" "Rocket" "Did I interrupt your conversation?" "Not really..." "To think you're able to fight on equal ground with me..." "It's such a pain." "I'll get rid of you all at once." "He's going to do something." "Shishi Odoshi" "Menacing Lion" "Chimaki" "Winding Earth" "Gomu Gomu No" "Rubber Rubber" "CANNON" "Wow!" "Cook!" "Huh?" "Damn..." "Armee de L'Air Power Shoot" "Air Force Power Shoot" "Hissatsu Atlas Suisei" "Sure-kill Atlas Comet" "Good aim, but it's useless." "Santouryuu Gyuuki Yuzume" "Demon Bull's Brave Hoof" "You don't even deserve to be killed." "Zoro!" "Damn!" "Gear" "Luffy!" "Guys!" "I'll have them sleep in the earth for a while." "It's annoying when I have to deal with these ignorant fools." "Especially when you were about to comprehend the situation and return to me." "Am I right?" "Was East Blue also your doing?" "That's right." "Don't..." "Don't do my nakama or my home-town any more harm than you already have!" "You've got the order wrong." "I told you before." "There's always something you'd want to request from your nakama." "The only threatening thing to me is that cyclone." "You should know fully well that what I need is a talented navigator." "Is that a mirror?" "Stop bullshitting." "This is the ring my sister from my home-town gave me when we parted." "If I join you, you'll spare East Blue, right?" "Of course, I'm a man who values his nakama more than anything else." "I won't lay a single hand on my nakama's home-town." "Don't do anything stupid, Nami!" "Usopp!" "You're still conscious?" "You're not gonna sell yourself out just because of our home-towns, are you?" "Luffy won't forgive you if you do that!" "What do you mean by won't forgive, brat?" "Looks like you still haven't fully understood the situation you're in." "Wait, I understand the situation!" "Don't harm my nakama!" "Then let me hear you answer, Baby-chan." "Usopp, we have no other choice." "I will protect East Blue." "So put your mind at ease and just go." "No, Nami..." "I'm gonna be okay." "Stop it!" "I'll live no matter anywhere I go." "Shut up!" "Who'd agree if you—" "Usopp!" "What an annoying brat, geez..." "Well, Baby-chan, let me hear your answer." "I'll become your nakama." "Become, huh?" "Please make me your nakama." "I see." "Welcome, my excellent navigator." "Understanding that there are opponents you can't beat is also part of the learning process." "I'm not a kidnapper." "Moral code is valued even in the pirate world." "Leave your nakama who have been through hard and happy times a final farewell." "Good farewell." "I hope this won't bring me any future trouble." "Your nakama should be able to accept it..." "If they are able to crawl out of there alive, that is." "Alright, get ready, everyone." "We shall commence as planned." "Welcome back." "Ah." "Hey, what're you doing?" "Come in here." "The more I look at you, the prettier you become." "Look..." "You made a good decision." "You should be grateful that your home-town won't be part of this turmoil." "Hurry, to the underground trench!" "Awesome, those animals are devouring the village!" "As expected from Boss Shiki." "He sure knows how to roll." "It's just a little side-show to see what happens if we remove Daft Green from the village." "I'm not interested..." "I'm going back to my room." "Geez, I thought she would go into a frenzy." "Damn it..." "We're late." "It's identical to the photo in the newspaper." "They sure did terrible things..." "It won't be long before East Blue ends up like this." "Mugiwara, let me know if you're here!" "Luffy-san, are you here?" "!" "Mugiwara!" "Luffy-san!" "What in the world happened?" "Quick, get them out!" "Shiki was the one behind all the incidents in East Blue?" "Yes." "So he intends to use those beasts to turn our home-towns upside-down..." "Shitty bastard, treating others like fools..." "In order to protect our home-towns, she left with Shiki." "We were saved by Nami." "Xiao, are you alright?" "We were hiding in the underground trench." "Anyway, what you guys were talking about..." "Is it true that East Blue is your home?" "Is it also that girl's home?" "Yeah, that's right." "What have I done?" "!" "I said I wished Shiki would just leave for East Blue in front of her!" "How could I say such a terrible thing?" "!" "I was happy, too..." "Xiao, what's that?" "This?" "I picked it up from here..." "Let me see." "Sure." "You're amazing, Xiao." "You have time to worry about Nami when your own village is in such a mess." "I've never seen people as kind as you guys are." "You don't have to blame yourself..." "The one at fault is that bastard Shiki." "I'll beat the hell out of him." "Cheer up, 'kay?" "What's that?" "A tone-dial?" "Yeah, it's the one Shiki was using." "Please forgive me for being unable to say farewell to you all directly." "It's Nami's voice." "I've decided to join Shiki's crew as their navigator." "Shiki is a legendary pirate whom Luffy and you guys can't oppose." "You will only be wasting your life if you come after me." "That's why I'll say this..." "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" "!" "What's wrong with her?" "!" "Why is she leaving this kind of message?" "!" "C-Calm down..." "She said we can't beat him?" "!" "What the hell was she thinking when she said all that?" "!" "But in reality you all were beaten by him, weren't you?" "What did you say?" "I was just..." "Doesn't really mean..." "Calm down..." "Stop..." "Damn..." "Usopp, let me hear it again." "Please forgive me for being unable to say farewell to you all directly." "I've decided to join Shiki's crew as their navigator." "Shiki is a legendary pirate whom Luffy and you guys can't oppose." "You will only be wasting your life if you come after me." "That's why I'll say this..." "Our elites are gathering one after another..." "It's finally time, World-Government..." "It's been 20 years since my legs last ached..." "I see..." "I got it." "I'll go now." "HE UNDERSTOOD?" "!" "I see..." "You plan on letting the animals attack this place by destroying these trees..." "You've planned this since the beginning, haven't you, Baby-chan?" "Despite all my effort complying with your conditions..." "There's no way you'd listen to me..." "I don't want to see my home-town in ruin nor my nakama depressed from hearing this bad news!" "Don't be so hasty..." "The powerful poison from these trees wasn't a part of your calculation, was it?" "Pirates should not be concerned about their family nor their home-town." "You'll only be misplacing your life if you cling onto those things." "If you are unlucky enough to survive until the end of the meeting..." "I'll use you as my navigator for the rest of your life." "I don't dislike cheeky women..." "Well done gathering here." "We shall now commence the Shiki alliance ceremony." "First of all, I don't appreciate traitors." "Keep that in mind." "Well then, let's depart to the Sea of Stratagems." "To the tragic sea of East Blue!" "Let's go, Franky." "Got it." "Hold on tight." "Coup de Burst" "Burst Blow" "For real?" "!" "How dare you dock your ship on the royal palace?" "!" "Who the hell are you?" "!" "As you know, East Blue is the weakest among the five seas." "No one will mourn its demise." "Do as you wish with it." "The Golden Lion Pirates are complete!" "Shiki-sama!" "What do you want at a time like this?" "!" "My deepest apologies, but I have an emergency." "8 people?" "They are rushing in?" "Well..." "What?" "That's lame, man." "This is how you do it." "W-Wait a second!" "It's you guys..." "What a surprise." "I heard you're going to attack East Blue?" "Well yeah." "Is Nami alright?" "She's lively." "You look tough, but don't think you can make a difference with just 8 people." "A stupid woman who believed that if she sacrificed herself, she would be able to protect her home-town..." "Together with a reckless suicide squad." "Are you stupid?" "Nami didn't sacrifice herself." "She came here as the vanguard!" "Brace yourself, Golden Lion..." "We're the main force!" "We're out of ammo..." "There's a bunch of them left..." "We were just saying hi..." "That's about right..." "Usopp!" "Chopper!" "Find Nami!" "Got it!" "Shoot these impudent fools!" "Kill them all!" "Boss Shiki, please go inside." "Yeah." "Kill their boss!" "Nemuri Uta Flanc" "Lulluby Parry" "Did you do something..." "To my nakama?" "!" "Boss!" "Don't get in my captain's way!" "Didn't he tell you to clear the way?" "!" "Biri..." "Did you do this?" "I have a favor to ask..." "Listen to me..." "Please stay here and listen to what I have to say..." "Renpatsu Kaen Boshi" "Continuous Flame Star" "Chopper, can you trace her smell?" "It's no good." "I can't smell well when the air is filled with Daft Green." "Damn it..." "There she is!" "She's over there!" "Nami..." "Won't you take it with you?" "Have fun..." "Don't worry..." "It's going to be okay..." "I won't allow our home-town to meet its end..." "Just a little longer, Nami..." "We're okay somehow..." "Where's Nami?" "Nami!" "Nami!" "Hang in there!" "Are you alright?" "I'll get you out of there." "This lump..." "It's just like Xiao's grandma..." "We have to get her treated." "This..." "This is..." "Could it be...?" "We've got a lot on our hands already..." "Hurry and get Nami out of there..." "NO!" "What the...?" "Hanauta sancho Yahaza Giri" "Three-Verse Humming:" "Arrow-Notch Cut" "How is she, Chopper?" "It was a close call." "She's finally able to breathe again." "We have to do something..." "Biri..." "The only thing that can cure this disease is IQ, but I heard Shiki is the only one who has it..." "What did you say?" "Where exactly...?" "Is Nami—" "She's okay..." "Shiki!" "You've done it now, little girl..." "It seems like you really want to die." "I don't need you any more!" "I'll make sure East Blue is destroyed no matter how hard you struggle." "We're done for!" "Shishi Odoshi Gosho Chimaki" "Imperial Palace of Winding Earth" "Die in despair!" "Damn it!" "Damn it!" "Luffy!" "You still want to fight?" "Nami, I'll beat that guy and we'll go back together." "Luffy..." "Leave this place to me." "Take Nami to safety." "Got it." "Fight hard, Luffy." "It's death for you anywhere you go." "You have no right to decide our fate!" "JET PISTOL" "Biri, give me a hand." "I won't let you go to East Blue!" "You stupid brat..." "Don't expect me to go easy on any man from East Blue!" "What is this place?" "They're all IQ." "They are using moonlight to plant them..." "It's the smell of medicine..." "This is where the IQ research is carried out..." "Which one should I let her take?" "An enemy!" "He smells of medicine..." "Are you a scientist?" "Yeah, an excellent one at that." "Hand over the cure for Daft!" "Why should I give it to you, idiot?" "This is what you want, right?" "I've always been carrying it with me for an emergency." "Well, that makes it simple." "All I need to do is take it from that guy." "Back off, I'll chop him to pieces." "Zoro!" "Looks like you've chased me to this place as well." "Take care of him..." "We need the cure from him." "You're going to chop me?" "A pawn from East Blue?" "Furthermore, no one would give a damn about that sea even if we were to destroy it!" "Chemical Juggling" "Ignite!" "I can't dodge..." "Zoro!" "Are you alright?" "Feel the power of Chemical Juggling?" "I don't have time to juggle with you." "Mass Juggling" "Eat this!" "Zoro!" "He ate the whole thing!" "Kiki Kyuutouryuu" "Demon spirit nine sword style" "Ashura" "Asura" "If you were to be..." "Chemical" "Defeated by a pawn who was born in East Blue like me..." "Juggling" "Ugui" "Menacing Drill" "Then, what kind of pawn would you be?" "Zoro is super cool." "Is he invincible?" "Chopper!" "It's the cure..." "I'm heading back now..." "Take care of Nami." "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "That way, man!" "As expected..." "There's no end to them." "Over there?" "That's..." "Robin-chan!" "What?" "!" "You said you want to make Robin-chan your wife?" "YOU PERVERTED GORILLA!" "He understands the gorilla's language?" "!" "Just you wait, you shitty gorilla!" "How dare you harass a lady in front of me?" "!" "Outta the way!" "Robin-chan!" "You're biting off more than you can chew, man..." "You want to conquer the sea?" "Do have any idea... how many ladies there are in East Blue?" "!" "Diable Jambe" "Devil's Leg" "Flanchet Shoot" "Belly Shot" "That's the taste of East Blue's love." "Shit!" "Robin-chan!" "Are you okay, mademoiselle?" "Yeah, thanks!" "Why the hell are you taking the best part?" "!" "I'll grate you whole, you shitty" "I don't have any flesh for you to grate..." "Nami's safety is our priority..." "Usopp..." "You're right..." "I can hear Chopper's voice, too..." "Where are we?" "Nami." "Thank god..." "You're awake." "The cure worked..." "Did you come to save me..." "Of course..." "And we're not the only ones..." "Zoro, Sanji, Robin, Brook, Franky, and Luffy..." "We're all here." "Thank you." "This isn't the time to cry." "I know." "If we don't beat Shiki, East Blue will..." "This is..." "Stop." "What's wrong, Nami?" "A storm is coming..." "The pressure is dropping..." "There must be a big cloud nearby." "We're going back to the royal palace." "Eh?" "Biri, are you alright?" "About time we put an end to this." "Zanpa" "Guillotine wave" "It's settled, kid..." "Navigation team to Shiki-sama..." "Navigation team to Shiki-sama..." "What?" "Please move the islands east..." "There's a storm coming!" "A storm?" "Was that good enough?" "Nami, was that good?" "Yeah, that's enough." "But, are you sure we're going to be okay heading into a storm like that?" "No way we're gonna be." "Eh?" "But, we have no other choice." "I guess that's good enough." "Well then..." "This must be painful for a devil-fruit user." "Though you can't take back what you did to me..." "Nor can that young girl..." "Watch as she perishes in despair!" "Shishi" "Lion" "Senjindani" "Valley of a Thousand Cuts" "What's that?" "Perm?" "!" "What?" "!" "The beasts are running away." "The storm!" "This island is heading into the storm!" "What did you say?" "!" "Guys, to the sea!" "I've got a strange feeling about this weather." "Those animals are victims as well." "I won't forgive you for using this drug to turn them into monsters." "Good grief, this is such a bone-breaking job." "If they really broke, it would really spell doom for me." "Biri, can you still fly?" "Let's go beat him up!" "Take me... to the sky!" "Take me... to the sky!" "Huh?" "Imbecile..." "Shiki!" "Huh?" "Nami, don't be reckless!" "It's Nami!" "It's over..." "Everything..." "I've finished planting the bombs!" "Bombs, you said?" "That's right." "Your factory, your palace, and this island." "Not a thing will remain." "Your plan has failed!" "DON'T SCREW WITH ME!" "Nami-san!" "As if brats like you are able to destroy my carefully thought out 20 year plan!" "Eat this!" "Hissatsu Tenryuu Boshi" "Sure-kill Heavenly Dragon Star" "Die!" "You're all bark!" "Biri, save Nami!" "Nami-san!" "How about me?" "Biri!" "Curse you!" "Your opponent is me, Shiki!" "Huh?"

"I've never told anybody this story before." "I'm honored, then." "Back when I was a kid, there was this old lady." "She lived in the creepiest fucking house in the neighborhood." "All the local kids, we used to avoid the place like the plague." "We used to run past it as fast as we could." "Most of us, we'd never even seen the old lady that lived inside, but those who had, they had their stories." "They said that she was some kind of a... witch." "A witch, huh?" "I told you it was dumb, okay?" "I'm sorry." "Go on." "Look, can we talk about something else, please?" "I'm half undressed here, Jimmy." "What fun is that?" "Fine." "They said that this old lady worked at the fair, that she was some kind of a fortune teller or something, but she could only tell you one thing, something you didn't want to hear." "Like what?" "She could only tell you the last thing that you'd ever see before you died." "And you believed this?" "You never saw her eyes." "They" " They..." "I'm sorry." "Please, go on." "When she worked at the fair, she was right so often... they tried to lynch her." "Guys didn't like what they heard." "They would ask her." "She would tell them." "The last thing they'd see." "Before they died." "They turned on her." "They nearly ran her out of town." "What does this have to do with you?" "I heard a story from one of the other kids," "He told me that all the money that the lady made from the fairgrounds she kept up underneath of her bed." "You tried to rob her?" "Shame on you." "Hey, what can I say?" "I started young." "Besides, they dared me." "I pretty much had no choice." "So one day-- it was the dumbest fucking thing I ever did, but I never" " I never ever backed down from a dare, okay?" "I went to that old, creepy fucking house, and I broke in through the basement window." "I got upstairs and I figured out which room was her bedroom." "And I was so quiet." "She was in bed... sleeping." "Then the snoring stopped." "I nearly died right there." "My heart, it just sank." "Look, I don't want to talk about this anymore." "You're almost done, Jimmy." "And so am I." "She was so fast." "Then I saw her eyes." "They were like milk, like sour old milk." "She leaned into me." "[no audible dialogue]" "And she told me." "She was dead." "I guess I killed her." "That's horrible." "What did you do?" "I got the hell out of there, and I ran all the way home." "I didn't even fuck with the money." "And you think she was right?" "Oh, I know she was right." "She was never wrong, never." "The last thing I will ever see on God's green earth is a white fucking flower." "That's quite a story." "It's all true." "I know." "You could never lie that well." "[sniffs] [clears throat]" "Oh, shit, did I fall asleep?" "Mm-hm." "Been waiting for you to wake up, with nothing to do but read the Bible." "[laughs] The Bible?" "What, are you kidding?" "Wish I was." "Looking up all the Commandments we just broke?" "Always been kinda fuzzy on them myself." "Anyway, I wanted you to be awake for this." "Oh, come on, I'm an old man." "I ain't ready for round 2 yet." "Mmm." "You don't know what I've got here." "Let me guess." "You've got some kind of toy?" "You could say that." "Something kinky?" "Mmm." "Am I gonna like this?" "Sure." "Blow your mind." "[laughs] All right." "[gun pops]" "Whoa." "You really gave me a working over there, baby." "You know it." "[sighs] Wow." "Time to call Mr. Ryan to give him the bad news." "♪ [classical piano]" "Nothing?" "You got nothing?" "Yes, sir." "The alarm got tripped." "Then the cops were there within three minutes." "There was nothing we could do but get the hell out of there." "Yes, sir." "Yeah, and there's more bad news." "It's about O'Brien." "He didn't make it." "The cops nailed him." "Yes sir, he's, uh..." "He's dead." "O'Brien was a good man." "Yeah, he sure was." "He was the best." "Yeah." "He saved my life." "He went out fighting, just the way he would've wanted." "Yes, sir." "[sighs]" "Wow." "Hook, line, and sinker." "Wow." "As far as he's concerned, we got nada, and poor O'Brien went down in a blaze of glory." "Ah, we're in the clear." "By the time Mr. Ryan finds out what really went down, we'll be a long time gone." "I am tired." "Hell of a day." "Quite a night at that." "Yeah, and quite a night." "You know, that was some plan you came up with." "I could've never dreamed it up myself." "[Cynthia] Me, neither." "Oh, well... here, here, how much we owe you, doll?" "Ten percent?" "All of it." "Are you fucking serious?" "I've got to make it worth my time." "[gun fires]" "Shit." "Fucking O'Brien couldn't have been easy, but it wasn't worth that much." "Look, you could've warned me." "Like you said, Jimmy, you never could have planned this yourself." "Yeah, you're right." "I'm not that smart." "Who am I to argue?" "Oh-- oh..." "I, uh... [jostles phone] [echoing] I don't-- I don't feel too good." "Look, I" "I" "Wow." "Something's not right." "[Barbara] You look like you could use this." "You poisoned me." "Huh, did I?"

"I went to check on the inn's building progress" "Father told me to do, so..." "A girl like you should obediently stay at home" "It's very cold outside, please hurry up and come inside to rest." "Yes, Mother." "Is Shi Wan still not home yet?" "Go and find him immediately!" "I heard that you have registered to take the military exam" "A stepson becomes a military mandarin" "Passing the exam is nothing bad" "But remember to use your own strength and ability" "Don't ever dream of counting on the family's prestige to pass it" "Young master had come home earlier" "Or..." "No..." "Never mind..." "Actually, at daytime" "Yong ah!" "If you play trick again, I will show you my power" "Where is he?" "Yong ah!" "Uncle, this way" "It's too dark for me to see what's what" "What did you say, bastard?" "Uncle!" "Uncle, please don't do this!" "Are you still human?" "If something bad happened to my son, I will bury you alive!" "Where did you bury my son?" "Where?" "Where's the burial site?" "Over there" "It is over there" "Yong ah!" "Yong ah!" "Bastard, you dare to fool around with me?" "Clearly..." "He was clearly there.." "What?" "Yong ah!" "You bastard!" "Where did you bury my precious son?" "Uncle!" "Please calm down, Uncle!" "I will give you money" "No matter how much you want, I will hand it over, please..." "Money?" "You damn bastard, listen to yourself!" "Money?" "Stand up, come here quickly!" "You damn bastard dare to talk like this" "Come here!" "Bastard!" "You two are so dead!" "You brats, stop!" "Stop, it cannot be like this!" "Uncle!" "What are you doing?" "Is he your accquaintance?" "No..." "He's not" "I don't know him" "Just go!" "You have to guard them until dawn, you hear me?" "These goddamn people!" "How dare they beat me!" "My Lord!" "You bastard, why didn't you study diligently, how dare you..." "What happened?" "What is wrong with your face?" "Why are your under-eyes so black?" "Because it's too dark outside and the road is slippery" "What?" "Come here now!" "I knew it, did you drink wines again?" "You useless son!" "Having a son like you makes me feel ashamed of myself" "It's ok if you couldn't pass the main exam but you couldn't even passed the Sung Yoon exam!" "How dare you went to find girls and drink wines?" "Who did you take after to be so worthless?" "I..." "Other than appearance, everything is similar to Father." "What did you say?" "Your physical appearance is certainly inherited from me" "Your high-bridge nose" "Wide mouth" "Everyone says we look alike" "Except for your brain..." "Really..." "Father is not different..." "Thanks to our ancestor' prestige, you became a mandarin." "I knew it all" "What did you say?" "Who said it, who?" "Many people know about it" "The Red Card (used to certified passing the exam) that you usually takes out and brags is actually just a fake card you used money to buy" "Shi Wan ah, please don't say anything else" "You bastard, is your mouth only used to argue with your father?" "Damn you" "My Lord!" "You have to maintain our pride and face" "What the hell is pride!" "When did we keep our pride, let me go!" "Damn you!" "But there is someone here that doesn't belong to our family" "You are right, let us think carefully about this" "Shi Hoo is also my son, having my bloodline too." "But why is he so understanding?" "Therefore," "Shi Wan's mind is inherited from his mother's side." "My Lord!" "This fella, it would be good enough if you were just half as good as Shi Hoo ." "My feet are cold" "Why hadn't you swept the snow around the courtyard?" "Are you feeling better?" "Who are you, my lord?" "(Shim Ki Yoon" " Left Main Parliament)" "Are you really Geom-ee?" "What are you up to again?" "you want to kill me again?" "No" "I just want to know the truth" "Whether you are Geom or not" "I will definitely not kill you" "Therefore, just relax and be comfortable" "Yes, my lord." "I am Ryung in Nam Mun" "Really?" "Yes." "I didn't come here to harm you" "Your father and I are best friends" "So you don't need to be cautious around me" "What?" "My father?" "I want to tell you how unjustly your father died" "Really" "My father is still alive and well" "He doesn't seem to be lying" "I also know where your mother and sister are" "Don't you want to meet them?" "Really, I'm going crazy" "My mother is still at home, and I'm the only son" "Really?" "Then I must be mistaken you for someone else" "You can go now." "I am injured but they still mistreat me" "You let him go just like that, my Lord?" "Bastard, how could you've given me false information?" "It's the truth, my Lord!" "He himself said that he is Geom-ee" "If you dared to speak rashly again, I would cut off your tongue" "What about the money that you promised..." "This fella!" "It's lucky that you haven't been punished, just go away!" "Yes, my Lord" "It's a waste of time that we believed in his words" "Remember to keep an eye on that boy's every move" "Yes, my Lord." "Why?" "Do you suspect that he is really Geom-ee?" "I think it is a little bit odd" "Let's observe for a while to see if there's anything new" "The boy that died 13 years ago is definitely not Geom-ee" "Geom-ee is still alive" "But why do you suddenly want to find him?" "Recently, I found out that Lee Won Ho's rebellious plan was made up by someone else" "If Lee Won Ho's son is still alive and at the time, saw something..." "Lee Geom!" "What trick are you up to now ?" "You are the hunter!" "You can play trick on anyone but not me" "Wait and see" "I will expose your true identity" "The son of a rebel has a very high price, don't you know?" "I don't even understand what he's talking about" "This leather shirt is so expensive, I can't let water get to it" "My image is totally ruined.." "Please drink more" "Please drink!" "Let's drink!" "Where the hell did you go that you won't come back till now?" "Really, do you want to be fired?" "There's line of people asking for the job at home" "Mistress!" "Ryung, maybe Yong is dead" "Nonsense" "Then the person lying in your room is a ghost?" "What?" "Oh, brother!" "What?" "Are you dead?" "How do I know?" "That young master has confessed everything" "We went with your father to look for you almost the entire night, it was so tiring" "So what actually happened?" "It's a long story" "Remember to tell my father that you found me at the casino, ok?" "Are you afraid that he will be sad?" "I should be the one that is sad my father doesn't understand anything, I need to wake him up" "Father!" "You bastard, why aren't you standing up!" "I had no idea that you were here, spending the whole night looking elsewhere" "Damn you!" "I will bury you right here!" "Father!" "What are you doing?" "Come here now!" "Father!" "Catch him!" "Catch him!" "Stop right there for me now!" "Did you cause trouble again?" "Can't you see that your father is so tormented by you that he looks old?" "Heaven, his face is full of wrinkles" "You are such a bastard!" "Stop worrying about other's child, take a look back at your bottom" "It has turned into a tray, don't you see?" "Whether I use my bottom or thigh to serve rice has nothing to do with you!" "I heard that your "noble" woman hasn't let you touch her bottom yet" "Do you want to replace that phoenix with this wild chicken?" "I can let you touch mine.." "You stinking woman, really" "Are you still a man?" "Auntie!" "You are talking way too unreasonable." "If my father is not a man then was I born by the moon's energy?" "The more you talked, the more ridiculous it sounds!" "Just live your whole life like that then, until there's nothing other than meat on your body" "You...you...how dare you!" "Is it true that those young masters want to kill you?" "They actually like me very much!" "You know, father" "I know how to dress and talk" "If so, was that young master drunk and saying nonsense stuff?" "Please eat more, seafoods are very good for your brain." "You can finish eating it, don't even leave a bone" "Father!" "Can I not go to Sadian?" "If you have finished eating, stand up!" "Hurry up!" "Why aren't you hurry up?" "Na mo a mi da bu, Kuan Yin Bodhisattva" "Come and see the Bodhisattva" "Is there really Buddha?" "Where did he go?" "Why did he say "come and see"." "Let's go now." "Father!" "What did you do with that medicine?" "Medicine?" "I'm talking about the magically enchanting medicine that makes people lose their wits" "I threw it away" "Threw it away?" "Why did you do that?" "Who would need that stupid stuff!" "I don't need to use it and I'm still as strong as an athlete!" "Look at my strength" "But that medicine is very expensive, father, you should go on home first" "Hey, where are you going?" "Ryung!" "This fella, did he sprout wings on his bottom or what?" "Enchanting medicine?" "Are you talking about the magically enchanting medicine?" "I heard that your "noble" woman hasn't let you touch her bottom yet" "This medicine is called magical enchanting or charming medicine" "With only one piece, your whole body will be filled with energy and power" "The opponent doesn't matter" "But, should I eat it?" "or give it to Dan-ee?" "Whatever, the hastier person should eat it!" "There are some cautions when using this medicine" "Don't let a man who is going away from home take it." "Why?" "You even need to ask why?" "Your wives are not with you but you are full of desires, how will you put up with that?" "So, how will you put up then?" "My money" "When I'm being nice, just give me back my money" "You still dare to play trick on me?" "Didn't you take the medicine already?" "Stand aside, let me see" "This stuff stinks!" "What is this?" "Isn't it..." "Ajjussi, this stuff is made up of dog's poop and pig's dung!" "Don't buy it, please don't buy!" "It's fake" "No, it's real" "Then, why don't you eat it in front of us?" "Alright" "Have you seen for yourself?" "If it's really a mixture of dog's poop and pig's dung, why am I eating it?" "But, suddenly...why am I feeling so hot?" "It's cold but why am I feeling so hot?" "Please sell me one!" "You really know how to act" "Give me my money now!" "You..." "I will..." "Please!" "Let me go, it hurts!" "Ajjussi!" "If you dare to hinder our work again," "I will cut "yours," you hear me?" "But that money is... the money to buy medicine for my deathly ill mother" "This method is too old" "Don't you have anything better?" "Is it your first time in Nam Mun?" "I know of a lot of interesting places" "Or do you want me to introduce you to the hundred-year poison snake wine?" "This sounds better than last time but is still unconvincing." "It's real" "You just need to say my name to buy it at the half price" "My money, my money" "Ajjussi, where's my money" "How much?" "5 taels" "Here you go" "Search his body, open it" "What are you doing, bastard?" "Is that Ajjussi crazy?" "He is dead for sure" "I'm really sorry.." "My brothers, don't be so emotional" "I just accidentally touched his shoulder" "Accidentally?" "Then why does his shoulder hurt so bad?" "What are you talking about, young brother?" "His arm is totally fine" "What should I do now?" "Hey, are you his accomplice?" "No..." "I am not." "I have absolutely nothing to do with him" "Just consider that I didn't exist at all" "Please continue what you were doing, you must be tired" "Why is everyone lying around like that?" "Get up!" "Get up quickly!" "What happened to everybody?" "Na mo a mi da bu, Kuan Yin Bodhisattva" "Really thank you, I want to express my gratitude" "No need for gratitude, I didn't really do anything" "But if you wish to do so, then buy one item from me" "The merchandises are awesome!" "Awesome?" "I told you that he would be in the gambling hall" "Seriously," "It looks like I cannot come to Dae Shik's place again" "The owner is terrible" "Always embracing and bothering me" "Seriously, even blew air into my ear today" "She said to make me fallen" "Honey!" "She blew air into my ear, causing my feet to feel all itchy" "My whole body is heated up" "Then you go and find her" "Go?" "Now ?" "Is that so?" "I just want only you" "Just you" "Oh Dan-ee" "We have lived together all these years" "I..." "I believe that I will do a great job" "I'm going nuts" "Dan-ee!" "Uncle, here you go, thank you" "Have an enjoyable night, Uncle" "Father, what are you doing?" "Father helped him so now he utterly wants to show his appreciation" "Father already said, "no need", but he..." "Father!" "I won't die after drinking all of this, right?" "No way" "You drank the whole bottle?" "Yes, why, father?" "Never mind" "You won't be dead, just..." "Just what, father?" "Later, your behind will be on fire" "Bodhisattva" "On fire?" "Dan-ee!" "That wicked kid" "Don't let me see you even once more time, Mr." "That troublesome rascal" "Hey, rascal!" "Come here, come here now" "What's wrong father?" "It's all your fault" "Blood, blood" "Blood?" "Where, where is it?" "In feces" "Feces, really?" "Father got feces that stained with blood" "Feces with blood?" "Why?" "Come here quick" "What did you say?" "Illusionist?" "Magical medicine?" "This son of a..." "It's poison, rat poison" "What are you doing, father?" "You are really an impossible rascal" "I already helped you find good medicine, what are you doing now?" "Why am I being arrested?" "Old man, do you know how bad's a crime your violence toward nobles is?" "Father!" "What?" "He's still alive and coming back?" "Yes, sir" "Because of this, the chief at the quarter came to the master" "How is our Shi Wan doing?" "Yes, for me, everything he said is indeed the truth" "Close it" "About this..." "Let this lowlife finish it off..." "Have you sprout wings on your arms already?" "Who promoted you to that position?" "Just a word from me" "Your spot as the quarter master would be no more than a smelly fart" "This rascal, want to make me mad, don't you" "I'm wrong, father" "Please forgive me this time, father" "How come there's fly in mid winter like this?" "So, your eye bruise's caused by that troublemaker, right?" "What?" "Oh yes" "He had the nerve to even hit my dear son" "Charge of intentional hitting noble members for no reason" "The master decided hamstring slashing as punishment" "Hamstring slashing?" "So that he will no longer be able to attack nobles" "Your father!" "Will chop off your father's hands" "Hand chopping?" "Master!" "Master!" "I am wrongfully accused, please" "Those young masters thought I was dead, even dump me into bottomless trench" "This lowlife, you still have the gut to tell lies here?" "It's true, I just can't take out my heart to show you" "Your highness just has to investigate to find out" "Your highness, the nobles that killed innocent peasants are not guilty" "Why is my father the only one sentenced?" "Do both of you know who you guys were messing around with?" "Yes?" "If you want to save your father's hand" "You should hurry along and beg for the young master's forgiveness" "Now, that's the only way" "You should eat something" "Darling, I'm scared" "I knew that sooner or later that brat would causes a disaster" "From ancient times, those black-headed animals were not domesticate" "For God sake, why did you drag Ryung into this" "Don't you even know that it's all his fault" "Okay then what did he do out there?" "Bastard" "No, I already told you not to blame Ryung" "I trusted him, I thought he was at the casino all through the night" "He must have been scared to death" "He must be hurt" "My poor son" "You're so softhearted, why are you always like that?" "Always sacrifice for other people's kids, are you an idiot?" "I..." "I have met Ja Dol" "Since it's too dark, couldn't make out his face" "But he's a real grown up now" "Mother!" "Mother, how's father?" "You're happy now, aren't you?" "Turning your father into a handicap person" "It's 38 Du yue for me" "Mine is 8 yue" "Mine is 10 yue" "This batch of silver is all mine" "Don't play the 5 cards game anymore" "Let's play 6 cards this time" "Young master!" "Looks like you've ran out of money" "Please excuse us for now" "Where are you going?" "Young master!" "This bastard," "Young master!" "Young master, please kill me but be merciful toward my father" "Your father's hand is a lost cause according to rumors" "Young master, please beat me until you are satisfied!" "Please young master, I beg you." "Really?" "Okay then" "I will let your father off the hook" "But you, bring me the money" "Mone...money?" "I need some money, so bring me some right now" "Why are you still sitting there for?" "Start dealing already" "Yes sir" "I only have this much with me" "You want to mess with me?" "Please give me some more days, I will..." "Tomorrow, I will bring you to a place where you can take out loans" "Deal the cards!" "Is it okay over there?" "It's so hot, that damned bastard" "Talking about which I..." "Bong Soon ah!" "Uhm" "Have you any regret?" "Regret?" "You have followed me since that year" "Why do you bring it up?" "If you hadn't come with me" "Then I wonder who would you have turned out to be" "Thank you for taking me along" "You have been raising me as well" "No need for thanking me" "You don't even know who I really am" "Who else could you be?" "You're my life savior" "I know all about it!" "When I was near death, you saved me" "Go to sleep!" "Father!" "I will earn lots of money so you can take it easy" "I am certain that I will make it" "I'm sorry, Bong Soon" "What should I do to cleanse this shameful being?" "This idiot, what are you doing?" "Quick, let me go!" "You had plotted to kill his son" "It's you who were wrong first" "Me?" "When?" "Are you dreaming now?" "That person is...the one who used to nurture me" "Oh, that is really an interesting fate" "Fight!" "Fighting!" "I will make Soe Dol lose not only his hand but his head as well" "He's not even your blood father and you still love him that deeply" "How about this?" "Your mother will have to take care of this handicap old man forever" "It's very pitiful, isn't it?" "Yes, that's your real face, right?" "How patient you have been eversince then!" "It's true, the more wicked you are, the more patient's your character" "Is it because of your malicious blood?" "Father!" "Oh, my dear daughter" "You came at the right time, Eun Chae!" "Take a look at this for me" "Does this stamp look fake to you?" "I have heard brother's story" "No need for your interference" "It looks like the real deal to me" "I heard that brother intended to kill that man's son" "Who in the world as parents would ignore such a story?" "That's the parents' compassion" "Like me, who wants to punish him" "That's also a parent's instinct" "He had the nerve to attack my beloved son" "Father, I beg you, please forgive him" "You don't have to get involved" "That person" "It's said that he used to raise brother Shi Hoo" "What?" "So he's the..." "Why are those people still meandering around us?" "Father!" "Please understand Shi Hoo's intention" "It's bogus, really a trick" "Losing that much money, it should have been valuable" "Damn it!" "What's going on Hee Bong?" "Hey, rascal!" "Yes" "Turn around" "Turn to this side?" "Wait there" "Gosh..." "Such inferior merchandise, useless like this" "Deokba only needs one blow to knock him off" "A deadly one is fine too" "If he's killed in the ring, then how could he blames anyone?" "Quick, hand me the money" "Really?" "Even if he's dead, we will not be responsible" "That's right, hand me the money" "I got it, boss" "Everyone is afraid of Deokba that's why the ring is empty!" "It would be fine for him to competes just one match" "Here's money for the referral and casualty compensation" "Remember, I already hand it over to young master." "Like I said before" "If it's a win, the reward will be 200 silver" "You need to bring that fund to me," "If you are unable to deliver that winning" "Then your father will be..."

"Has your wife arrived?" "No, I haven't seen her..." "But she'll be here." "I want to see her on the starting grid." "She's my good luck charm." "Luck has nothing to do with it, Paolo..." "You're just good." "You're the world champion." "Come on." "It's a good life, you think you've already won the championship." "You never know." "Winning is easy..." "When you've got a driver like Paolo Scortese." "The best driver for the best car." "Remember, Martelli, we live in the world of wheels and wheels turn." "Don't let it get to you, Daniele." "Relax, there are still many tournaments to win." "Paolo didn't see you at the starting grid, he was very nervous." "I went to the bar for a moment." "He says you bring him good luck." "If only it were true..." "Bringing good luck to Paolo means bringing good luck to you." "Right." "That bastard moves like the wind." "Ferraro, have some respect..." "He's our adversary, not our enemy." "Bullshit, when I raced we didn't make this distinction." "Yes, I agree, but just take care of the press." "Yes, but do you know why I'm still with your team?" "Sure I know..." "Because no one else wants you." "Alvaro, I'm going..." "I'm tired of being on my feet." "What do you want me to say?" "You have one leg shorter than the other." "Are we going to Rome?" "I don't know..." "You go if you want to." "Paolo's had an accident." "Where?" "It wasn't an accident, it was provoked..." "A pre-meditated murder." "Did you read the report from forensics in Milan?" "That's a negative." "Negative?" "Then you should read it, it looks like someone tampered with the car..." "They loosened one of the nuts on the wheels, I don't remember now." "You need to get moving." "You in Milan and us here in Rome, they want one of ours up there who isn't well known in the area." "Understood, captain." "By the way, where's inspector Giraldi?" "He's the right man for the job." "He's at the post office in Flaminio, chasing up a lead." "That isolated post office riddled with bullet holes..." "Just think, three months ago they had a sign up..." "'Closed For Robberies'" "It's gone badly, guys." "Instead of a lot of money..." "You got a beating." "Here..." "Put them on." "I'm going to get my car, wait here for me." "But we didn't do anything?" "Sure, you were just posting letters." "Seeing as I don't trust you, I'll cuff you to this pillar." "Be good, I'll be right back." "Look who it is, inspector Giraldi." "Hi, Venticello." "Are you the look-out for those two in there?" "What are you talking about?" "I'm just smoking a cigarette." "Where's the cigarette?" "I finished them, I need to buy some." "I thought you were a look-out for those two with your engine's running." "It's a new car, I was running the engine." "Yeah, right." "Are you sure you aren't their look-out?" "What look-out?" "I'm out of that game..." "I do communions, weddings and funerals, now..." "Here's my card." "Come here." "What are their names?" "I don't know them." "Spread out your arms." "Good." "Chest out." "Chin up." "I promised you I wouldn't hit you anymore..." "Unless you asked me to..." "This is the second time..." "The third time I'll beat you, okay?" "What are their names?" "For the second time I'm telling you I don't know them." "What are their names?" "(?" ")" "Poor man, he's crying." "What happened to him?" "(?" ")" "I'm innocent, I haven't done anything." "I proceeded to arrest..." "What?" "I proceeded to arrest..." "I'm innocent." "Will you be quiet?" "Will you be quiet?" "What's he in for?" "Lewd behaviour on a tram." "It's not true, all I did was (?" ")" "Are you a peadophile?" "I can't help it..." "I'm (?" ")" "Take him away, scumbag." "Scumbag." "I proceeded to arrest De Rossi, Giovanni and Divetralla, Sergio." "Nico, finally." "Good to see you." "We were talking about a stink, and it smells of burns here." "Why?" "Why?" "Because when you're happy to see me it means there's a mess to sort out..." "Just tell me straight." "Look, it's a big mess..." "But our priority is the Monza case..." "The murder of Paolo Cortese, they messed with his car..." "They want someone from our division to go to Milan..." "And I thought of you, Nico." "Why are you always thinking about me all the time?" "Don't joke around." "I'm not joking." "I'm getting fed up with this, do you understand?" "When there's some asshole to deal with, you think of me..." "But when it comes to a pay rise you only think about yourself." "What does that mean?" "No, no..." "When there's..." "What is it called?" "The bonuses?" "The bonuses, you see..." "I never receive a bonus." "I have nothing to do with it, Nico." "You're one of my best men." "That's the point..." "They should give me a holiday, at least." "Yes, okay." "No?" "Then do what the football teams do..." "Go and get some Brazilian policemen." "I can't reason with you today..." "Come to my office when you've finished your report." "No, I'm going home..." "I have to help my son with his homework..." "Then I have to eat..." "Then I sleep with my wife, I do what I can..." "Then I go to sleep." "Send someone else to Milan..." "You're not screwing me." "Goodbye." "Inspector, we got to their arrest..." "Where was it?" "You're right..." "It was on Via Pizzuschi." "How do you spell Pizzuschi?" "Are you so illiterate you don't know how to write Pizzuschi?" "Pizzuschi." "Isn't it on the corner of Viale Viziano?" "Yes." "Then write Viale Viziano." "Do you like the formula one smurf I bought you?" "Yes, but I still need two, cycling smurf and the one eating a sandwich." "I can't keep buying smurfs..." "I bought you 180 of them." "188." "188?" "Why don't you save the money I give you?" "I saved some money yesterday..." "Instead of spending 400 Lira for a bus ticket.." "I ran behind it." "Instead of running after busses..." "Run behind a taxi and you'll save 20,000." "They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away." "Why?" "Because as soon as he arrives you can throw it at him." "That's a good one." "Eat up." "Where's your mother?" "She's preparing a surprise for you." "For me?" "She still wants to surprise me after ten years of marriage?" "What's the surprise?" "She bought a dress for the policeman's ball." "Here I am." "Has the boiler exploded?" "What boiler?" "It's for the policeman's ball." "Post-atomic fashion, survivor style." "You want to go to the policeman's ball dressed like that?" "You have a family, why don't you dress like a lady?" "Why?" "Aren't I lady?" "Have you seen Loredana Bertelli on TV?" "How does she dress?" "Loredana Bertelli can, you can't." "You could go begging by St Peters dressed like that." "Cut it out." "Actually, it's not a bad idea given our current situation." "I thought you'd like it." "Well I don't." "Listen to me, you don't look good." "What is it?" "Are you offended?" "No, I'm not offended..." "Nico, I have to tell you something." "You always have to say something." "If it has anything to do with money, forget it..." "We're broke." "Nico, it's not about money, it's about my brother, Fabrizio." "Well?" "Fabrizio has been going down the wrong path lately..." "Maybe it's the friends he hangs around with?" "He's easily lead." "He changed cars twice in two months and he's got a lot of money." "How could he earn all that money with his job?" "Why do I care how that dumbass makes his money?" "Don't call my brother a dumbass, you used to be like him." "What do you want from me?" "Tell me." "Just go and talk to him." "Investigate a little" "Help him out." "I don't know, where can I find him?" "He's at Mirella's billiards club." "The one who used to bang?" "Nico!" "In front of the kid?" "She used to bang sweaters." "Because I'm too good." "Three coffees and two bitters." "Listen, you gave me 10,000 Lira and this is your change." "I've gave you 50,000." "Is your name written on it?" "Look at the combination..." "The combination is a telephone number he remembers very well." "It's true, there's a telephone number written on it." "That's my 50,000." "64-62..." "It's an old trick, get out of here." "What if I don't want to?" "Guess?" "I'm leaving." "We've known each other since we were kids, I was six years old and he was thirteen." "He used to hit me all the time." "I have to have my revenge now..." "Not because I'm a policeman, I'd still hit him even if I wasn't..." "What has he got against me?" "He'll be back, you'll see..." "Because I owe him a hiding." "Inspector." "Here he is." "I had a rethink, I'm not leaving." "That's one." "Inspector." "What is it?" "I'm a bit of a Christian, I alway turn the other cheek." "That's two." "We are at 3399." "No, 3396..." "Don't steal three from me, 3396." "Thank you, inspector." "You're welcome." "See you round." "He wanted to do the 'Tick' swindle, understand?" "His friend came here first, with a 50,000 Lira note..." "With a telephone number written on it." "He comes along with a 10,000 note..." "And makes out he gave you 50,000." "I get it." "You need to be careful." "You need to be careful..." "You need to be careful if I can give you some advice." "Sure, but what are you doing around here?" "I've never seen you here before." "I came here just to see you, the ninth wonder of the world." "Why the ninth?" "Why not the eighth?" "Sorry, bu I'm the eighth." "Bye." ""I want to live a reckless life..."" "What are you playing at brother-in-law?" "Ciccio, I live the reckless life around here, okay?" "Tell me why you're here instead of at work?" "I'm not going to tell you anything because I respect you." "You're not telling me anything because you can't talk..." "Because you shouldn't be here, you should be at work..." "If you don't feel like going to work, then you should have a dump." "We're trying to have a game here..." "Get out here, we're busy." "Be grateful I don't arrest pool sharks." "Do you want to take his place?" "There's 50,000 riding on it." "Let's make it 100,000." "125,000." "Stand over there." "Show us the cash." "You first..." "Then I'll show you mine." "I play with a glove, okay." "When do I get to play?" "I don't know, that's your business." "He's going to clean me out." "I really think so." "So..." "This is mine." "Want a rematch?" "No thanks, that's enough for me." "Okay." "I want to dedicate this to my brother-in-law." "What a shot." "Spit it out." "Wait for me over there." "Do you like Dalla?" "(Lucio Dalla, Singer)" "Only the singer." "Then I heard wrong." "Bye, Nina." "Your sister told me you changed cars twice this month." "Are you stealing them?" "Who?" "Me?" "If you're stealing them you're doing something stupid." "I'm an adult." "Yes, but you're my son's uncle..." "My wife's brother, and my brother-in-law, and I'm a lot older than you, understood?" "Quit playing billiards, quit stealing and go to work." "Do you understand, idiot?" "You don't live here." "I can go where I want." "Don't be a fool." "Or what?" "Don't come knocking on my door if something happens to you." "Times have changed..." "You're just looking for trouble, I'm telling you." "Okay, goodbye." "What a beauty." "I could get 200,000 for you." "It's unlocked." "Wake up, all you'll miss all the morning glory." "If you don't have a good reason for waking me up at this hour..." "I'll give you such a beating I'll make you cry." "Yeah, you'll make me cry." "Come and see what I brought you." "Father Christmas." "God damn." "It's a beauty." "How much will you give me?" "What are you saying?" "It's got 5000km on the clock." "You have to give me 200,000." "Two big ones." "Do you want 150,000 right away?" "There isn't even a scratch on it." "What do you call this then?" "I swear I had no idea he was in there..." "I just stole the car, I didn't mean to bring the dead guy, I swear." "Fabrizio, are you playing a joke on me?" "We do things properly in our trade..." "Without dead bodies in the trunk, get this car out of here..." "Before I finish counting to three, or I'll put you in the trunk." "Who is it?" "Let me in Angela, it's me." "What do you want?" "Open the door, damn it." "Wake up." "I have to tell you something." "Tell me while I sleep." "Turn off the light." "Are you sleeping?" "Don't be like this, it's something important." "What time is it?" "Three o'clock." "What do you have to tell me at three in the morning?" "Fabrizio's next door." "What does Fabrizio have to tell me?" "He has to tell you something?" "At three in the morning!" "Nico's on his way, but be careful." "Get us some coffee, double for me and a small one for him." "Okay." "Sit down." "Well?" "Sorry, Nico but this is serious..." "Only you can help me, some advice..." "Whatever you want." "Do you believe me?" "I believe you..." "But the judges will send you down for life." "What's going on here?" "Do you realise what he's done?" "He stole a car with a dead body in the trunk." "Holy Virgin!" "How do I know if he was a virgin?" "He was definetely dead." "But I've got nothing to do with it." "Now you didn't to anything." "Tell me about this guy you took the car to, are you sure about him?" "Sure, he doesn't go around telling people he buys stolen cars." "You need to go back to work..." "Forget about all of this and I'll take care of everything, as usual." "Okay." "I wanted to..." "Go, and don't show yourself around here again, got it?" "It's three thirty, I have to sleep because I have to work..." "I have to work!" "Understood?" "Imbecile." "What are you going to do?" "What am I going to do?" "How do I know..." "But I've got to do something, I have to invent something." "You believe him, right?" "My brother is innocent." "Sure I believe him, he isn't a murderer..." "If he was he wouldn't be dumb enough to come here." "The pathologist says he died between one and two in the morning." "What time did you find the car, inspector?" "It was around three, I saw some cloth sticking out of the trunk and I got suspicious." "And you were just passing by?" "Is it against the law?" "No, I was just saying that you saw some cloth sticking out of the boot at that hour." "Such incredible eye-sight." "What a tool." "What did you say, Giraldi?" "I said, "What a tool."..." "When I realised how stupid I'd been not to notice it earlier." "I'm sorry, but anyone could've missed it." "Nothing, I pulled over..." "I went to have a look and noticed..." "The trunk." "The trunk was unlocked, I opened it..." "And there was the body." "You left your car and took this one..." "Hotwiring it to get it started." "See how smart Labella is?" "Just like a car thief." "Was I supposed to carry it on my shoulders?" "On my shoulders?" "It's all written down in my report." "Nico." "Why is he asking me to say it all again?" "Calm down, inspector..." "I'm conducting an investigation." "So let's try to remain calm." "We can rule out robbery, we found an expensive ring on the body..." "As well as a gold watch and a large sum of money in his pocket..." "None of it had been touched." "The fact that he was found in the trunk of his own car..." "Suggests it may have been revenge." "Maybe so, maybe not..." "Perhaps it was revenge, perhaps it wasn't." "I don't know, what was his name?" "Alvaro Ferrante." "Doesn't it mean anything to you that Ferrante was a friend of Bertoni's?" "He was an ex-race driver." "There might be some connection between this crime and what happened in Monza." "Yes, he's referring to Paolo Cortese..." "It would appear that someone tampered with his car." "Yes, that may well be, but we can't jump to conclusions without any proof." "Isn't that my job?" "Okay, start investigating..." "But let me know what you're up to." "Yes, of course." "You as well, Trentini." "Yes, your honour." "Judge Labella is tough one." "He's a pain in the ass." "Why does it always happen to me?" "It's all part of the job." "You need to get a move on." "No, you need to get a move on..." "You need to get a move on." "What do I have to do?" "Tell me about Ferrante." "But what?" "Was he married?" "Did he have a wife?" "A lover?" "Yes, a certain Rossanna..." "But then they split up." "What was her surname?" "I don't know." "Where does she live?" "I don't know." "Where does she work?" "I don't know." "Okay, that's fine..." "I'll bring you all the Rossanna's in Rome to your office tomorrow." "Stop fooling around." "Nico..."

"You know the Milan police are investigating..." "They've seized what's left of the car." "Yes, I know." "Do you know what happend last night?" "Did you read the papers?" "Yes, Ferrante was found dead in the trunk of his car." "I think the two crimes are connected..." "I wanted to know if they knew each other when they were alive?" "Of course they did, we all know each other in the world of motor racing, but Ferrante worked for a rival team." "He worked in the press office, there was no professional rivalry." "Yes, he was race driver, now I remember..." "Then he quit after he injured his leg in an accident." "He wasn't what we would call a great driver." "But I don't believe there's a connection between the two murders." "Paolo Cortese was a good kid, loyal, generous." "And this Ferrante guy?" "Ferrante was a troublemaker, a real low-life." "Judging by what happened to him he must have been." "If you'll excuse me..." "Did you know Paolo Cortese really well?" "Paolo was like a son to me." "There's nothing more to say, but if you hear anything..." "Or if someone tells you something, call me at the police station." "My name's Giraldi, inspector Giraldi." "I'll call you if I hear anything." "I'm done..." "Thank you." "Mission accomplished, boss." "Just get to the point..." "Have you heard anything?" "Negative..." "Nothing." "I went to Bertoni's offices..." "No one knows anything, I went to the victim's home..." "Ferrante's sister told me had a falling out with his gardener who even threatend to kill him."

"You have to come with me." "Goodnight, boss." "Open the door." "Why?" "That's an order." "Okay, boss." "(?" ")" "What are you doing?" "Do you want to kill me?" "Who gave you the keys?" "I did..." "How could I open the door with all this stuff in my hands?" "Get the suitcases." "Come on, Rocky." "Have you gone mad?" "Aren't you happy?" "I told you to stay there because it's dangerous here." "Okay, we'll talk about it later." "Here are the suitcases." "Where do we stand, inspector?" "What do you mean?" "If you want to hit me with the telephone?" "Yes." "This one counts as five." "That seems fair." "(?" ")" "(?" ")" "Wolf three doesn't exist anymore, call me dumb four." "Over and out." "I've been waiting over an hour for you." "I noticed you hadn't come home..." "So I came down." "And Rocky?" "Rocky's been asleep for a while." "Nico, why don't we go to bed as well?" "I'm not tired." "I heard everything." "Trentini called." "What has he got to do with it?" "Poor guy." "Why?" "What have you got to do with it?" "Don't punish yourself." "It's nothing..." "They kicked me out of the force, I don't have a job anymore..." "A kid on the way." "Nico..." "What's happening to you?" "You've got no reason to punish yourself, I know you, don't I?" "I..." "I think you..." "You don't want to lose." "What's happening to you, Nico?" "Why are you like this?" "The Nico I married was brave and strong." "You always thought of something, don't you remember?" "Then why are you like this?" "You can't give up." "What did you always used to say?" "Whoever gives up the fight is a real son of a bitch." "That's how I like you." "You know something?" "Yes?" "I love you so much." "Me too." "Who is it?" "Recorded delivery." "Slide it under the door." "You have to sign for it." "Are you sure it's for me?" "Who's Homer Esposito?" "Open the door." "Relax." "What's going on?" "Help." "Get out of here." "Let me get my things." "What do you want?" "Take your things and clear off." "Let me get dressed at least." "You can do that by the stairs." "Keep your mouth shut." "I mind my own business." "Bye." "So..." "Stand up." "The police can't do this..." "Then they say it isn't true." "I'm not a policeman anymore..." "I can do what I want to you." "Okay?" "Now you're going to tell me who wanted me dead?" "How do I know?" "I got my orders over the phone..." "Then I collected the money." "Like ordering a cappuccino and a croissant?" "You already brought me a cappuccino this morning." "And this is the croissant." "Good morning, I managed to find you a private room..." "But no more than fifteen minutes, I'll wait outside." "Thanks." "It's tough being in prison." "I guess." "Have a seat." "I still have some authority here, I can get you transferred to the infirmary." "Thanks, but I don't want to hassle you anymore." "I want to apologise for all the trouble I've caused you." "What's happened, has happened." "What did you want to tell me?" "I need to come clean with you." "Go on." "The other day..." "I met a guy who's inside for handling large amounts of stolen money." "Name?" "Daniele Fabrice." "Well?" "While I was talking to him about being accused of killing Alvaro Ferrante." "He told me he knew him, that he'd given him a job..." "To take 250,000 to Switzerland." "Do you want to know something?" "Brother-in-law..." "This is all because I found that body in the car." "I was right..." "I really was right." "Those two murders are connected." "What does that mean?" "It means you need to start packing your bags..." "You're going to get out of here." "Come on, be brave." "And thanks." "It's you." "Sorry, but us Neapolitans are a little superstitous, inspector." "I'm not an inspector anymore." "You always are for me." "Have you seen anyone?"

"Motor technology is evolving continuously..." "These cars are hitting 300kmph." "Did you come here to talk to me?" "I came here to talk, not shout." "Is there some place quiet here?" "Sure, follow me." "I'll be in the press office if you need me." "Good morning." "Where's my husband?" "Your husband is in the press office with that policeman." "Well, inspector, have you made a new discovery?" "I discovered a beautiful woman slipping flowers into a vase..." "On poor Cortese's grave." "Continue." "I have to continue, because, after seeing this..." "I began to piece it all together." "What I found was a very complicated murder mystery..." "The type of murder mystery Agatha Christie wrote." "Do you want to hear it?" "Sure." "The star of this story is an engineer..." "This engineer manages a Formula 1 race team..." "His best driver was screwing his wife, understand?" "So what did the engineer do?" "The engineer had him killed, and how did he do it?" "He removed a bolt from his wheel, just like the one you showed me." "Is it over?" "What do you mean?" "The first part is finished..." "Now we have the second part, which is more complicated..." "Because this second part involves a person..." "Who's a bit of a shady character, a blackmailer..." "Who knew all about the engineer, so he blackmailed him..." "To the tune of 250,000 Lira." "And this engineer agreed." "So much so..." "That the blackmailer enlisted some outside help..." "A certain Daniele Fabrice." "To take the money to Switzerland." "Understood?" "However, what did the engineer do?" "When the engineer went to deliver the money..." "What did he do?" "He didn't give him the money..." "He's not stupid." "He shot him in the head." "And where did he put him?" "In the trunk of his own car, poor guy." "Have you finished?" "No..." "A murder mystery can't end if there isn't a policeman involved..." "That wouldn't be a murder mystery, without a policeman investigation." "So, what happens?" "The engineer realises..." "That this inspector..." "Is about about to figure it all out." "So, again, the engineer pays out some more money..." "To some individual, a thin guy they call the (?" ") ..." "To kill the inspector." "And he almost succeeds." "He almost manages it." "You don't say?" "I'm telling you..." "Do you want me to tell you the name of this engineer?" "No, there's no need." "I think I know." "Yes?" "Yes, and do you know what he would say?" "Tell me." "That's an interesting story..." "But it's just a story." "You see, that engineer is no fool..." "He killed that bastard race driver who was an unknown when he met him..." "Who he made a world champion." "And in return he repaid him by sleeping with his wife..." "And he killed that scumbag Ferrante because he was blackmailing him." "It's true, inspector." "But where is your proof?" "I'm the proof." "You killed him." "I would never have believed it." "You thug!" "How could you kill a man who was so nice, so generous..." "Things you never were." "You whore." "You're going to prison." "If you don't let me get up he'll never go to prison." "Ready?" "Ready?" "He's stepping out of the lift." "You're soaking me." "What are you doing?" "To your return, boss." "You were great..." "I've had you reinstated and I even put you down for a promotion." "Thank you, commissioner." "Are you happy?" "Inspector Giraldi." "First of all, I'd like to apologise to you, inspector Giraldi." "And congratulate you for the way you so brilliantly solved this case." "I didn't want to disturb you." "The pleasure is all mine, Giraldi." "I've already started the process to have your brother-in-law released." "I don't know how to thank you." "Give me a bottle." "A glass." "Let's have a toast for you." "Stop, stop..."

" Got something a little more recent ?" " Oh, no, I don't." "See, my parents were divorced 20 years ago." " You got an address ?" " l think my father was homeless." "I didn't even know myself... u-until I just came down here." "Look, um, I'm not sure what you want me to do here." "I want you to take my report." "Well, generally, in order to be considered missing, you need somewhere to be missing from." "Fine." "If you're too busy to do your job, Detective, then I'll find somebody who isn't so busy." "Look." "You wanna find your father, take my advice: canvas the missions, ask at the shelters, but, um, get somebody who knows the city to show you around... or I'll be filling out one of these on you." "Hey, you're welcome." "All right, pipe down and listen up." "We got 12 positions this morning, Able Seaman or better."

"It's Nat." "Nat ?" "Your parents name you for a... bug ?" "No, actually, it's short for Natasha." "Natasha." "What kind of a name is Chance ?" "Well, my mama took one." "So how did you lose your papa ?" "My parents, um, they got divorced when I was seven and my father" "Well, he moved away." "We started to write and he even called me a couple of times." "Three weeks ago the letters just stopped." "I've got a friend here who can help us." "You check the line, I'll look around inside." "Hey, you don't have a bottle of hot sauce on ya, do ya ?" " Elijah." "What's happening ?" " Hi." "Wednesday meat loaf." "I mean, they said it was meat loaf." " l thought you were gonna get a ship." " l lost my boarding pass." "I've got something to show you." "You two know each other ?" " We met yesterday." "Have you seen my father ?" " l saw the next best thing." "I was over at Plaza D'ltalia yesterday... and I saw this sleeping bag in a cart." "It was a tiger stripe, like the kind they used to issue to Recon guys." "Your daddy had one just like it." " Thanks, Charlie." " You bet." "Don't be offended." "He passed them out for money." "Uh, yeah, I've had to do it myself." "Here." "Barracks Street." "Both sides this time, Grandpa." "Next !" "Get !" "Here." "Decatur." "Lower half." "Well, if it ain't my good friend Boudreaux." "I thought you was gonna catch a ship." "Maybe I'll stick around to run for mayor." "We're looking for someone who worked for you." "The man's name is Douglas Binder." " l never heard of him." " l think he know you." " Did he work for you, sir ?" " Maybe he did, maybe he didn't." "I'm not too good with names." "I have a photograph." "What Mr. Poe trying to say, he's not too good with faces." "Right ?" "Hello, Randal." "I didn't know you had company." "We were just leaving." " You know, we should go back up there." " Not now." "Not together." "Poe knows something about my father, obviously." "If you don't want to go back up there, I'll go myself." "If you want to find your daddy, you're gonna have to work smarter, not harder." "Yeah." " Natasha Binder ?" " What's the problem ?" "I'm afraid I have some bad news." "They found your father's body." "I'm sorry." " They made a positive l.D." " How did it happen ?" "There was a fire last night in an abandoned building in the Ninth Ward." "The fire department discovered your father's body in one of the rooms." "I need to see him." "Your daddy was burned pretty badly." "The identification had to be made from dental charts... in your father's service record." "What's your involvement here ?" "I was helping her find her daddy." "Wakey, wakey, you fat fuck !" "Oh, God !" "Mr. Fouchon, what are you doing here ?" " Aah !" "Oww !" " Don't talk, Randal." "Listen." "Oh, don't worry about Randal." " Aah !" " He's all ears." "When Mr. Van Cleaf came upon your visitors yesterday, you neglected to tell him that they were inquiring..." " about one of our volunteers." " That was nothin', Mr. Fouchon." "Oh, it was something, Randal." "This man we hunted last night." "Why don't you tell us his real name ?" " You fuck." " Binder." "Binder." "Douglas Binder." "That's not the one we selected, is it ?" "l-l couldn't get the guy you asked for." "Look, y-you said you wanted a combat veteran, so I sent you Binder." " He has more medals." " He had a family." "Now they're asking questions." "Please." "Please." "I said I was sorry. I sai" " Aah !" "I said I was sorry." " Careless is what you are, Randal." "Careless and stupid... and now you're sorry, too." "He said he-- He said he was alone." " l didn't know he had any relatives." "Honest." " You made a mistake ?" " ls that what you're saying ?" " Yeah." "Yeah." "Uh-huh." "And I see you're anxious to make up for it, aren't you ?" "Yeah." "Yeah, right." "Yes." "Yes, sir." "We've got another client and he's about to select a new playmate." "Next time send us the one we ask for." "I will, Mr. Fouchon, I swear. l-- l think we understand each other." " Yes ?" "No ?" " Yes." "Yeah." "Randal." "I come back here, I cut me a steak." "You did your best." "No, l-- l came too late." "I mean, Jesus, he was living out of a shopping cart." "Goddamn it." "Why didn't he just..." "tell me ?" "Why didn't he ask for my help ?" "I've been there myself on the street." "It's hard." "It's hard to... put your hand out." "I just kept thinking if I could... just tell him that I loved him." "And because he loved you so much, he didn't want to pull you into it." " Our friend, Mr. Boudreaux." " Mm-hmm." "Silver Star." "Marine Force Recon." "He joined the Merchant Service after he got out." "His captain was smuggling opium." "When Boudreaux found out, he threw the man overboard." "He's been looking for work ever since." "He's obviously not someone we should underestimate." "He was raised in the bayous by his uncle." "I think Mr. Boudreaux... would make a very interesting quarry." "Maybe I should, uh, pay him a visit." "No, no, no, no, no." "Send a couple of lads down there to have a chat with him." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Bingo." "Some friendly advice, Boudreaux:" "Get the fuck outta Dodge !" "Do it today !" "And tell that bitch girlfriend of yours... to point her titties north and step on the gas !" "It's always nice to see you." "You seem to have a real talent, Mr. Boudreaux, for attracting violence." "Does that make me a bad person ?" "Why did you arrest me for, getting beat up without a license ?" "Thank you for calling me." "Oh, my God, you look awful." "Darling, you hurt my feelings." "What we have here is a charge sheet." "Willfully crossing a police barrier;" "that's considered Criminal Trespass." "Yes, that officer was nice enough to mention that to me." " What were you doing at the house ?" " The dog tag... you find in that fire ?" "They always come in twos." "So I went back to that place to look for the other one." "Your daddy, he didn't die in the fire." " He was murdered." " There's no evidence of that." "There is now." "That hole in that tag was made by something sharp and hard." "And I'll bet my rent money it was made... when Binder was still wearing it." "Why would somebody go through all this trouble to kill a homeless man ?" " Do you believe us now ?" " The wheels turn slow around here." " Real slow." " But they do turn." "I'll order a new autopsy." "This'll help." " You should see a doctor." " l hate them doctors." "Yeah" " Aah !" "Shit !" "Goddamn it." "What ?" "Not now." "So" " So, you in 'Nam ?" "Yeah, a long time ago." "It seems to me a man with your obvious experience... should be pullin' down a lot more money." "You're gonna pay me 100 bucks to fill out a form ?" "I'll pay you a lot more than that if you got the experience." "What kind of experience ?" "Well, maybe you ain't interested." "Uh, no." "I'll fill out the application." "You got any family ?" "Anybody to worry about you ?" "Friends ?" "Anything like that ?" "I got nobody." "You'll deposit $500,000 in our account... in a bank in the Cayman lslands." "Do not refer to our agreement by telex... or in conversations on the phone." "You'll be provided with a guide, trackers... and the weapon of your choice." "Naturally, we will dispose of the body... and provide you with an out-of-town, airtight alibi." "Don't worry, Mr. Zenan, all you have to do is point and shoot." "Mr. Zenan has made his selection." "A black man named Roper." "Used to be in Special Forces." "Excellent." "I don't see any problem with your choice." "It has always been the privilege of the few... to hunt the many." "Soldiers, policemen, fighter pilots." "Men who kill for the government do so with impunity." "All we do is offer the same opportunity... for private citizens such as yourself." " These opponents, they're volunteers ?" " More or less." "The same government that has made murder their sole preserve, they train our targets." "We pride ourselves on only hunting combat veterans, men who have the necessary skills..." " to make our hunts more interesting." " What about the police ?" "I'm sure that they would be interested if they were to find out." "Dr. Morton here assists us... with the formality of police autopsies." "It's no accident that we're in New Orleans." "Last year we conducted hunts in Rio de Janeiro at Carnival," "Yugoslavia during the late unpleasantness." "Oh, yeah." "You see, there's always some unhappy little corner of the planet... where we can ply our trade." "All right, Mr. Fouchon." " You have a client." " Well, thank you for visiting, Mr. Zenan." "Dr. Morton will show you to the car." "My bank will arrange the transfer of funds within the hour." " Excellent." " When do we go out ?" "We'll contact you when the necessary arrangements have been made." "Chance." "What you doing here ?" " Secret mission." " Mmmm." "Rub me, baby." "Oh, yeah, baby." "Hello, Poe." "What the fuck ?" " You miss me ?" " Aw, Christ, not again." "Looks like you're short an ear, so you better listen very carefully." " Now, are you paying attention ?" " Uh-huh." "Who sent those apes after me ?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Two million people in this city." " Who's gonna miss a fat slob like you, Poe, huh ?" " Van Cleaf !" "H-His name was Van Cleaf." "Good boy." "Where is he ?" "I don't know where he lives !" "He ain't even American !" "Look, he'll" " He'll kill me if I don't do what he says !" "You gotta believe that !" "Aaah !" "Tell your boyfriend Van Cleaf... I'm gonna find out who killed Douglas Binder." "If you understand me, just grunt." "Again." "Did you get my memo ?" "Binder, Douglas C." "I want you to take another look at the post-mortem." "That memo contains evidence... that might make Binder's death a homicide." "Now, you can act on it, Doctor, or you can file it, but if I have to get a court order for a formal inquest, I will." "You should do something about that cough." "Don't you ever knock ?" "We have a problem." "A big problem." "They want me to redo the autopsy on Binder." " Who is it that's asking ?" " A detective named Mitchell." "Binder's family's breathing down her neck." " Can we buy her ?" " No." "I guess we've overstayed our welcome." "Tonight is our last hunt in New Orleans." "Open it." "What a funny little man, eh ?" "A change of scenery's what we need." "Something less tropical." "Rolling hills, castles." "Eastern Europe." "We can work there for years." " Where's Poe ?" " Mr. Poe couldn't make it." "He's got an ear infection." "Look, he, uh, he said he'd have some work for me." "That may still be a possibility." "We got a little game we'd like you to play with us." "This money belt... has $10,000 in it." "It's all yours if you want it, every penny." "What do I have to do ?" "The rules of the game are very simple." "All you have to do is get to the river." "Ten miles through the city." "You and the money belt make it to the river, you're $10,000 richer." "Bullshit." "Maybe you like being the object of pity, begging for quarters, sleeping in the rain, listening to a half an hour of fire and brimstone..." " for a bowl of soup." " Man, fuck you." "You could change everything tonight." "Think of what $10,000 could buy you." "You could get new clothes, clean yourself up, look men in the eyes when you pass them on the street." "This money could make you a man again, instead of the shadow of your former self." " l get to the river, I get the cash." " Every nickel." " lf l don't make it ?" " Oh, you're a sports fan, Roper." "Figure it out." "You've got a five minute head start." "Don't waste it." "This is New Orleans, Mr. Zenan, not Beirut." "After you, sir." " Mr. Zenan, take it off "safe."" " Oh." "Finish him." "I don't want him." "H-He's wounded." " Finish him." " l can't do that. I hit him." " l shot him." "Let's go, okay ?" " Listen, don't make me look bad in front of my dogs." "You know why you're here ?" "You paid us a half a million dollars... to find out if you're alive or dead." "Now finish him." "Finish him !" "God, why didn't he go fishing ?" "Now you understand why we insist on payment up front." "Here." "Set the dogs on him, won't you, Pick ?" "I don't wanna be out here all night." "Help me !" "Please !" "Please !" "Help me !" "H" " Please !" "Help me !" "Help me !" " Go on, get a job !" " Please !" " Please !" " Watch it !" "Damn !" "Watch yourself !" "Help me." "Help me !" "Help me !" "Please !" "Hey, look !" "Come on, man !" " Walk on by, now, man." " Call the police here or somethin' !" "Help me !" " Hey !" "Hey !" "Let me in !" "Come on, man !" " No, we're closed !" "Let me in !" "Hey, buddy !" "Hey !" "Hey !" "Come on !" " Brother, get out of here, man." "Come on, get out of here." " Hey, come on, man !" " Help me !" " Hey !" "I ain't got no change, man !" "He was passin' out flyers for Randal Poe." "Let's pay him a visit." "Randal, Randal, Randal." "You were gonna leave without saying good-bye ?" "My mama got sick in Biloxi." "l-- l was gonna call you, Mr. Van Cleaf." "Of course you were, Randal." "Of course you were." "I know you didn't mean to hurt my feelings." "Hmm ?" "Looks like we missed the party." " Get down !" " Ooh !" "Stay down !" "Go !" "Go !" "Go !" " Let's go." " We can't just leave her here !" "Keep him in the Quarter." "Stay on his ass." "She's dead." "Come on." "Grab the bar !" "Yeah !" "Ladies first." "What ?" "It appears we'll have one last hunt after all, Pick." "The train went by maybe two, two and a half hours ago." "This could be dangerous." "We're on his turf now." "Thank you, gentlemen, for making yourselves available on short notice." "We are stalking an exceptional opponent." "Truly a world-class trophy." "The price for participating in this little excursion... is $750,000 each." "Should one of you be lucky enough to bring him down, I'll consider that hunter's account paid in full." "Shouldn't we be worried about alligators or something ?" "If it make you feel better, yeah." "Come on, keep going." "It's still a long way..." " to Uncle Douvee's place." " At least they won't be able to find us out here." "Yes, they will, if they have a tracker as good as Uncle Douvee." "All they have to do is to check along the railroad." "I'm just guessing we have a couple of hours." " Okay." " Maybe less." "Come on." "Let's go." "Isn't there a trail or something ?" "This is the trail." "You're really enjoying yourself, aren't you, Chance ?" "If it's tough for us, it's tough for them." "You trust me ?" "Of course I trust you." "Close your eyes." "Why do you want me to trust you with my eyes closed ?" "Close your eyes." " ls it dead ?" " Not hardly." "What are you doing ?" "I'm leaving a surprise for my friends." "Son of a bitch !" "If you would die quieter and pick up the pace," "Boudreaux would have less time for these little surprises." "Jerome !" "Would you be so kind ?" "And do watch your step, won't you ?" "Let's go." "Sometime I amaze myself, me !" "is good whiskey !" "Make jack rabbit slap the bear !" " Chance ?" "Chance." " Yeah !" "You come to see your Uncle Douvee." "Natasha, my Uncle Douvee." "Enchanté, mademoiselle." "We'll fix him up good." "Put bandage on, it no hurt." " Be strong, my boy." " Douvee, I've got some people after me." "I know." "I can smell them." "You've still got a .30-06, the one I gave you for your birthday ?" "No." "A gator ate it." "But, uh, I've still got your shotgun." "So tell me, this mans what chase after you, he mad at you for business or pleasure ?" " Both." " Uh-huh." "I'm going to take Elvira south, then to Bayou La Fouche," "Mardi Gras graveyard." "If you can talk her into it, go ahead." "You be careful." "Don't worry about me." "I love the company." "Be careful." "Without you, I'm hunting them." "He's gonna be all right." "Oui." "Come." "We go." "Here, drink." "But do not spill." "It kill the grass." "The place is clean." "He just left." "Get the fuck down !" "Hey !" "Hold it !" "Boudreaux is the target we're after." "You are a fucking buffalo !" "Move !" "Boudreaux went this way, maybe ten, 15 minutes ago." "He's on a horse." "He's trying to lead us away from his friends." "Get in the fucking trucks." "Move !" "Fucking move !" "Will you move ?" "Move !" "They're fucking brain-dead." "Get the helicopter." "Find Boudreaux." " We'll set up an ambush this side of Bayou La Fouche." " l can take him from the air." "Any pinhead can take him from the air." "I want to take him from the ground !" "I can take him from the air." " Be a professional, Pick." " Hey, you're making a mistake here." "Make sure he gets there, Pick." "That's him." "Hey, pigeon." "Avril Pybus has a store two miles this way." "You go to a telephone, call the sheriff." "You know, chére, I think you should call the sheriff." "It appears your trophy's ripping us a new orifice." "Let me review the tactical situation for you, gentlemen." "Boudreaux is wounded." "He's been pursued and harried... across miles of open country." "Now he's cornered and outnumbered 20 to 1." "He's an annoying little fucking insect... and I want him stepped on, hard." "You're not angry with me, are you, Pick ?" "I don't get angry." "I'm a professional." "Let's move !" "This is not good." "If we walk away now, we can be in Mexico in five hours." "What the fuck is the matter with you, Pick ?" "Hunting drunks in alleys made you soft ?" "God, that son-of-a-bitch is good !" "Goddamn it, I'm gonna blow his goddamn head off !" "What are you lookin' at, you sons-of-bitches ?" "This is what you paid for !" "Get him !" "Seal off this place." "The son-of-a-bitch is mine." "Sorry about the shirt." "Give it a rest, pal." " Now what do you want to do ?" " Now" "Now we put arrow into everyone what's not Chance, huh ?" "Come." "You fuckin' bitch !" "Now-- Now look what you do." "Give me this gun." "I take care all this bad guy." "Give me this gun !" "Chance !" " l told you to go for help." " But we help." "All these men try to kill you." "We're here to help." "Boudreaux, Boudreaux, Boudreaux." "I've been looking all over for you." " You've been looking in the wrong places." " That's good, 'cause I know you wouldn't want to... hurt my feelings." "Can you get up ?" "I cannot dance, but I can get up." "Hey !" "Hey !" "You lucky son-of-a-bitch !" " You want some more of that ?" " Yeah !" "How does it feel to be hunted ?" "You tell me !" "You should know better." "There isn't a country in the world I haven't fired a bullet in!" "You can't kill me!" "You can't kill me!" "I'm on every battlefield!" "There's no winner here!" "I don't see one." "You're looking at him!" "Come on, you son-of-a-bitch !" "Take your best shot !" "Chance !" "Chance !" "My boy !" "Just shoot him !" "You won't do that, will you, Mr. Boudreaux?" " Chance, please !" " lf he shoots me, he'll kill you." "He's picked the wrong tool for the job." "Put the weapon down... or I'll run her through !" "No !" "You see, Miss Binder, you I can understand;" "it was a matter of family." "You had nothing in common with those people." "What made you want to complicate my life like this ?" "Poor people get bored too." " Come here." " Please." "Load me." "Hunting season... is over." "Douvee !" "Douvee !" "What is this noise ?" "I was dreaming." "Chére, I think about you." "I tell this turkey, he no kill this eagle." "Some headache I got here!" "Oh, my God." " What ?" " l think I hurt pretty bad." "Now this, this real catastrophe !" " This real bad." " Yeah, real bad." "Ah, when I was just a little boy" "A-standin' to my daddy's knee" "My papa said, Son don't let the man get ya" "And do what he done to me" "Born on the bayou" "Born on the bayou" "Born on the bayou Lord, lord" "Wish I was back on the bayou" "Rollin' with some cajun queen" "A-wishin' l were a fast freight train" "A-just a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans" "Born on the bayou" "Born on the bayou Mmm, mmm, mmm" "Born on the bayou" "Doin' it, doin' it doin' it, doin' it" "Lord" "Oh, get back now" "Well, I can remember the fourth of July" "A-runnin' through the backwood bare" "And I can still hear my ol' hound dog barkin'" "Chasin' down a hoodoo there" "Chasin' down a hoodoo there" "Born on the bayou" "Born on the bayou Ohh, ohh" "Born on the bayou" "All right" "Do it, do it, do it do it" "Mmm, ohh"

"Richelieu:" "Glory and Blood" "Madame!" "Give back the handkerchief, sir." "I'll do no such thing." "If you are an honorable man, give me that handkerchief." "My honor is at the point of my sword, sir." "Removing your sword in front of Cardinal de Richelieu's palace is bold!" "Don't you know duels are punished by death?" "Where are you from?" "I cannot reply to your mockery." "The cardinal waits for me." "But I will satisfy you and give the disputed object to the only person with any claim to it." "Forgive my boldness, Madame." "It seems I'm forbidden to keep this." "I'm devastated." "To whom do I owe the honor?" "Henri d'Effiat, Marquis of Cinq-Mars." "At your service, Madame." "I'll remember that." "And I will not forget you." "To the Louvre!" "Tell me, friend, the name of that lady?" "Marie de Gonzague, sir." "Duchess of Nevers." "What do I hear, Henri?" "You took out your sword?" "Don't you know that dueling is now a crime against the king?" "Forgive me, your Eminence." "A lady's honor was at stake." ""A lady's honor," especially this duchess's, is not worth losing your life." "I don't want nobles killing each other over trifles." "My edicts apply to everyone." "More illustrious names than yours have paid dearly for such acts." "I won't forget, your Eminence." "Here is a letter from my mother." "I don't need to read it." "I can refuse nothing to the son of my old friend, the late Marshal d'Effiat." "Your father was of great service to the state." "I expect you to follow the same path." "That is all I desire, your Eminence." "Fargeau, write a note recommending Mr. de Cinq-Mars to Mr. de Tréville." "You'll be suited to the musketeers." "I know you're brave and a fine swordsman." "Go prove yourself." "You know my affection for you." "Don't disappoint me!" "I'm at your service, your Eminence." "That young man will turn heads." "I'm counting on it." "Why the musketeers instead of your own guards?" "I have my reasons." "Let's get back to business." "Despite the measures we have taken, the queen continues to inform her brother, King of Spain, of all the court's goings-on." "I also suspect her of plotting with Gaston d'Orléans and trying to harm me personally." "The queen will be furious, I couldn't convince the cardinal." "How much longer will she be locked up in the Louvre?" "He won't forgive her letters to Madrid." "Who denounced her?" "Does the cardinal have a spy?" "He wouldn't dare." "Open your eyes." "His Eminence will do anything to protect his interests." "Damned cardinal!" "I'll be avenged." "He defies me, but one day he'll beg me for mercy." "Then I will crush him." "Your words are unwise." "Mr. de Thou is right, your Majesty." "Your words may be repeated." "I know it all too well." "I'm surrounded by spies trying to ruin me." "They must be uncovered." "Whoever they are!" "Let them go tell this false Christian that his guile makes me sick." "I'm the daughter and sister of kings, and queen of France!" "He will pay for forgetting it." "Well, Monsieur de Cinq-Mars..." "Show what you can do." "Monsieur de Chambord." "He won't last 2 minutes." "Touché, Monsieur!" "Monsieur de Beaumont!" "Touché, Monsieur!" "Our honor is at stake." "Who is this young officer fighting off an army?" "The Cardinal's protégé." "Marquis of Cinq-Mars." "Touché!" "You impressed Mademoiselle de Hautefort, the King's mistress." "Congratulations, sir." "With your sword, the King is very well-guarded." "With your beauty, Madame, his Majesty is very well-loved." "I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you again." "I share your hope, Madame." "To the King, musketeers." "I'll see you later, Mademoiselle." "Come, your Eminence." "I'm late, I know." "Our prey escaped, but I didn't want to give up." "Your Majesty." "3 hours of hunting for nothing." "That beast was clever." "Maybe it knew we were coming." "I must speak to you before the council." "New trouble has broken out in Berry, Champagne, and Poitou." "The cities are rebelling against our intendants, the peasants are stirred up." "In Paris, attempts on my life are rumored." "This isn't new." "You are easy to hate." "I only govern, but France is not an easy child." "It rebels against each edict and rejects reform." "By God!" "That isn't new either." "Govern, my dear minister." "You have my trust." "Your enemies are my enemies." "Protect yourself as needed." "Haven't I given you guards?" "Yes, Sire." "Not to mention the spies you have all over France and Navarre." "Take off this vest, La Chesnaie!" "It's too tight." "Don't give me these garish colors." "You know I like moderation." "I'm worried by the loss of Mr. de Comons, my dresser." "He was so wise." "Who at the court can take on this duty?" "The Marquis de Cinq-Mars, Sire." "Henri d'Effiat has taste and wit." "Is he related to the Marshal d'Effiat who served us so well?" "He's his son, your Majesty." "Ready to serve you like his father." "Really?" "Well, let's see!" "As always, I trust your good feelings for me." "Places, gentlemen." "The King arrives." "Henri!" "Henri, come." "Let me introduce you to his Majesty." "Let me introduce you to the young man I spoke of." "Henri d'Effiat, Marquis de Cinq-Mars." "Stand up, Monsieur." "Glad to meet the son of our friend the Marshal." "His memory is dear." "We owe him a great deal." "I owe him just as much." "And I'll serve you as eagerly, if you'll give me the chance." "We'll give it to you." "Certainly." "I like your idea, your Eminence." "This young marquis speaks openly and honestly." "Congratulations, your Majesty." "Your decisions at the council were very wise." "Isn't he a bit young for this position?" "On the contrary, Sire." "You need new blood." "He's a proud horseman with whom I'll enjoy hunting." "One more thing, Sire, if you'll allow." "Well?" "I'm worried about your brother's intentions." "My spies tell me he's in Paris although we banned him from the city." "You won't deny that Gaston d'Orléans plots against us?" "My brother is a scatterbrain who wants the throne." "But who cares, since your spies watch him?" "There's way to crush his claim to the throne." "And what is that?" "Give an heir to France." "It's not for lack of trying." "Can I help it if the queen is not fertile soil?" "And I've lost interest in trying." "Your Highness!" "You're late." "Well!" "Will the cardinal see his mistress tonight?" "She told me so." "Marion De Lorme will receive no one else." "His Eminence will use a carriage with no crest or escort." "His discretion will be his ruin." "The cardinal is yours." "If your assassins are successful, your fortune is made." "He's a dead man, your Highness." "Well, Madame!" "What news?" "Good news." "The storm washed out the road." "The king will spend the night at the Louvre." "His Majesty will share the queen's bed." "Thank heaven and pray that we'll soon have an heir." "What else?" "The king was in a very good mood about his new dresser." "A certain Marquis de Cinq-Mars that no one's heard of." "You'll hear of him soon." "Did you see the Spanish ambassador with the queen recently?" "The Marquis de Mirabel came to see her yesterday at nightfall." "I brought him to her study." "They stayed there for almost an hour." "I checked this morning." "The letters that his Majesty had written to his brother weren't there." "Thank you for your precious aid." "Go back to the Louvre and I'll take care of your interests as you take care of mine." " All is ready, your Eminence." " Perfect." "Take them alive." "So they tell us everything they know." "Don't kill him!" "No!" "I wanted him alive!" "I want prisoners!" "No!" "Don't kill him!" "Don't kill him!" "Don't kill him!" "Viva Espana!" "The Devil take it!" "I wanted them alive!" "I needed them to name" "Gaston d'Orléans and his co-conspirators." "How can I prove his betrayal to the king?" "How can I know if the queen was part of this plot?" "Where can they be?" "We should've already heard." "Calm down, your Highness." "You'll make me doubt you." "Do you know what I found out?" "The king is sleeping with the queen tonight." "Who cares!" "He won't impregnate her after 22 years of childlessness." "Flee, it failed." " Impossible." " The cardinal was warned." "His men were everywhere." "I'm ruined." " Do they have prisoners?" " No." "None survived." "Goodbye, Marie." "Goodbye." "I'm leaving for Lorraine." "Stay!" "You're safe with the queen's confessor." "We must kill the cardinal." " How?" "He's the devil." " We can't give up." "Stay!" "The queen will help us." "I must speak to his Eminence." "What's going on?" "Is it true?" "His Majesty wants me to dress him?" "It's true, congratulations." "Why congratulations?" "I was born to serve with my sword." "Do you know how many soldiers, counts, and barons would be honored by this position?" "With all due respect," "I have no interest in the king's trousers." "I want to be useful." "And I want you to obey." "The king wants it, and that's enough." "Haven't I always helped you, my boy?" "Didn't I get you a spot in the military academy?" "Haven't I, since your father's death, advised your mother on raising you?" "Of course." "Then trust me, and be glad to see the most powerful man in the kingdom every day." "He makes and breaks men's destinies." "If he likes you, your fortune is made." "I'm offering you more than a career." "A destiny." "You'll serve me well near the king." "How so?" "We're at war, Henri." "Spanish forces threaten our borders, in Flanders and in the south, in Roussillon." "Will we let the king of Spain invade the kingdom, on the pretext that his sister, queen of France, and the Pope in Rome consider Philip IV of Spain more Catholic than us?" " No." "Of course not." " Then we agree." "Now it happens that... the king is smitten with Mademoiselle de Hautefort." "Very pious like him, she criticizes my alliances with the protestant states of Sweden and Holland." "Well," "I expect you to get rid of this harmful woman for me." "How?" "You think I'm more powerful than I am." "You're wrong there, Henri." "You're clever and attractive." "That's what the king likes." "You don't think he'll wear this?" "Why not?" "The king only wears black, or gray on New Year's Eve." "He'll give up this austerity." "He's not a protestant as far as I know." "Oh, my Lord!" "You speak of the king, sir." "Really?" "Well, hello, Monsieur de Cinq-Mars." "Well!" "Where is my suit?" "Here, Sire." "Are you joking, sir?" "What's this gold, these frills?" "Do you think I'm a marquis trying to be fashionable?" "I think you're the greatest of monarchs, the king of France, who must impress." "You're judging me, Marquis?" "I'm saying, Sire, that the world will judge you by your clothes." "You are France." "Your subjects expect you to represent them with the splendor and magnificence they deserve." "They'll be proud to see you in something elegant and worthy of the power you embody." "I forgive your insolence, as youth is your excuse." "But it's not my nature to be ostentatious." ""Don't judge a book by its cover," sir." "My power is not in my clothes." "Don't expect me to wear this outfit." "His Majesty the King." "Your Majesty," "France has never been so brilliantly represented." "Light has arrived with you, Sire." "Well, Madame!" "You say nothing?" "There would be too much to say, Sire." "Congratulations, Henri." "François!" "My friend." "What joy to see you again." "What is this masquerade?" "You're the laughingstock of the Court." "Will you pray in this outfit?" "Have you forgotten to whom you speak, Madame?" "It befits the king of France to appear in all the splendor of his power." "I expect you to remember that." "Sire, this isn't like you." "This Marquis de Cinq-Mars is making you ridiculous." "A man beholden to Richelieu!" "Be quiet!" "Not another word." "The Marquis de Cinq-Mars has my full confidence." "Treat him with respect!" "I don't recognize you, Sire." "You've always scorned the vanity of the world." "Where's the man I love who fears the Lord?" "That man has long been too indulgent with you." "He is annoyed with your manners and asks you to change them." "Alas, your Majesty!" "I cannot share your favors with that fop you're infatuated with." "That's enough!" "Since you do not share my affections, leave the Court." "Otherwise, you'll regret it." "Farewell!" "And get married!" "I'll give you 1,000 crowns." "Well, sir!" "Your star is rising quickly." "Be careful or the sun will burn you." "There is no sun here but you." "Your sparkling eyes alone endanger a heart that burns for you." "That is very chivalrous, sir." "And you are very convincing." "You showed it by turning the king into a sovereign." "His Majesty the King!" "Stay with me, Marquis." "Leave the women and let's be friends." "First, I'll teach you the customs of the Court." "No need, Sire." "The king determines the customs and I'm honored by your friendship." "You have an answer for everything." "I like that." "I won't get bored with you." "Leave, ladies." "Leave!" "If Mademoiselle de Hautefort is out of favor, we've lost a friend to our cause." "It's a victory for the cardinal." "Certainly, your Majesty." "But I have an idea." "If the king is friends with this Marquis, let's have him join our cause." "That will be difficult, your Majesty." "He is the cardinal's protégé, and son of the Marshal d'Effiat." "Oh, yes!" "That's true." "But I hear he's young with charming manners." "He may be charmed by you." "Come on, Duchess!" "The idea appeals to you." "Why not try it?" "Your weapons are much more powerful than those of Mr. de Richelieu." "Your Majesty, Monsieur de Thou is here with the Marquis de Cinq-Mars whom he'd like you to meet." "Perfect timing." "Bring in the gentlemen, Mademoiselle." "What a nice surprise!" "Thank you for seeing us, your Majesty." "I'd like to introduce my friend," "Marquis de Cinq-Mars, who is in charge of the king's wardrobe." "Here's the man all Paris is talking about." "I'm charmed, Monsieur." "It's a huge privilege, your Majesty." "I'm at your feet." "What do you think, Duchess?" "He's the most handsome man." "Don't compliment him too much, your Majesty." "He might get the wrong idea." "Mademoiselle de Hautefort is disgraced?" " Are you sure?" " Absolutely, your Eminence." "The king has been charmed by the Marquis and wants him to follow him everywhere." "That's better than I hoped, Chavigny." "Cinq-Mars is even better than I thought." "It was a brilliant idea, your Eminence." "As long as Mr. de Cinq-Mars is loyal." "What do you mean?" "He was welcomed by Mr. de Thou, the queen's devoted advisor." "They're childhood friends." "Where's the harm?" "I also saw him courting the Duchess de Nevers." "Henri is too smart to be snared by her." "And at 30, the ex-mistress of Gaston d'Orléans is not a threat." "I'm not sure." "She's already shown her boundless ambition." "I tell you she won't corrupt Henri d'Effiat." "What's happening?" "Did his Holiness Urban VIII breathe his last?" "Your Eminence, it's a miracle." "The queen is pregnant." "The queen is pregnant!" "About time!" "Let's pray she'll give the king an heir." "The queen is pregnant!" "The queen is pregnant!" "Your Majesty." "Did your quarry escape?" "A deadly dull hunt." " Where is Mr. de Cinq-Mars?" " In Paris, Sire." "What?" "What's he doing there?" "Doesn't he know he's in my service and I must change after hunting?" "I want to see him." "Go find him, right now!" "Monsieur de Tréville!" "I don't know why I yielded to you, Monsieur." "Curiosity, I suppose." ""Curiosity," Madame?" "Yes." "I admit you intrigue me." "I'd like to know how you charmed the king." "In the same way you've charmed me, Madame." "I loved you at 1st sight." "My heart beats only for you." "Please, sir." "Get up and be reasonable." "What do you hope for?" "That you'll love me as I love you." "My God!" "Only that?" "I'm moved, I admit." "But..." "Monsieur de Cinq-Mars!" "What is it?" "I have orders to bring you back." "What does he want now?" "The king's orders aren't questioned." "Go!" "Don't make his Majesty wait." "When will I see you again?" "That wouldn't be wise." "I don't want to be wise." "When?" "Tonight." "I'll be waiting." "That's an eternity." "Don't forget that I love you." "Well, Monsieur de Cinq-Mars!" "Is this how you serve me?" "Didn't I say you should never leave me?" "What do say you to that?" "I thought you were hunting, Sire." "And that I should greet the queen." "She doesn't need your greetings." "You're mine." "I want you to stay at my side." "The truth, sir." "Whom were you seeing?" "No!" "Don't tell me." "It was a woman." "What woman could resist this angelic face?" "Don't compromise yourself with one of those marquises looking for a mate." "That's not my intention, Sire." "My ambition is to serve you, rest assured." "Well!" "How do I look?" "Handsome as Apollo, Sire." "To Mr. de Richelieu, who brought you to me." "To Mr. de Richelieu, who has let me serve you." "Come, now!" "Don't speak of serving me, I want us to be friends." "Open your heart to me." "I'll do the same." "My heart is yours, Sire." "Is it true that you sent Miss de Hautefort away?" "There's much gossip here." "Don't believe it." "You were just an excuse." "She had irritated me by criticizing the cardinal." "She used our time praying to be the voice of the queen and the Pope." "It takes a low opinion of the king to think the cardinal's policy is not approved by me." "Good night, Henri." "I had a nice evening." "Good night, Sire." "Every moment with you is glorious." "I'm eager to see you tomorrow." "You've taken a great risk, Marquis." "Is it worth it?" "If necessary, I would've sacrificed my life to see you." "I don't have enough words to express my love." "This is too much." "Your passion scares me." "You are clever and the king loves you." "It would be mad to compromise your position." "What does the king matter if you love me?" "Say the word and I'll marry you, Madame." "My God!" "Then I would be unreasonable." "Do you know the difference in our positions?" "You're a marquis." "But I'm a sovereign duchess." "The king will not consent." "The king will ignore it because he loves me." "The king will have you killed because he loves you." "Is there no way?" "There's a way to reduce the distance between us." "Really?" "Speak." "Do you remember the falconer whom the king loved so much?" "Well?" "Didn't the king make him duke and Lord Chancellor?" "You could reach such heights." "Then you could claim my hand." "You've brought me back to life, Madame." "What is this play with 3 duels, Mr. Corneille?" "This is scandalous." "That's not my intention." "But The Cid required them." "I require you to rewrite it." "I didn't give you 1,500 pounds to copy a Spanish play." "I was just inspired by an event." "Indeed!" "We're at war with Spain." "It's not the time to boast of an enemy's exploits." "But your niece liked it very much." "I know." "It was clever to dedicate it to her." "Take this down: "I forbid the play The Cid" ""to be performed again..." ""until the Academy has given its opinion."" "Go, sir!" "My deep respect, your Eminence." "Wait!" "Here." "It's another comedy of mine that you can develop as you like." "Just improve it without changing the plot, please." "His play has ideas that offend the state." "See that the Academy rejects it." "We must leave, your Eminence." "You'll be late for the council." "Dismounting!" "Your Eminence!" "Your Eminence, I must speak to you." "Just a word, please." "I'm in a hurry, Henri." "And I don't like the way you show up like this." "I'm sorry, but it's important." "Come with me, tell me on the way." "Are you mad?" "I'm completely against it, Henri." "I'll never agree to it." "Nor will the king, or anyone else." "So Chavigny was right." "You've given in to the evil charms of that conniving woman." "Is it possible to be so blinded by passion?" "This woman manipulates you, Henri, and mocks you." "She has but one goal:" "using you to hurt me." "Why else would she agree to marry beneath her?" "You will not plead my cause?" "Never!" "Don't say a word to his Majesty." "You're just a simple gentleman elevated by me, you exist only through me." "I order you to forget her and devote yourself to your mission: serving me." "You'll pay for this, Monsieur de Richelieu." "The ingrate threatens me!" "What have you done by introducing me to the Marquis de Cinq-Mars?" "I wanted only your happiness, Sire." "Does the devil hide behind his beauty?" "He's afraid of nothing." "His insolence has no limits, he's unaware of the respect due a king." "You'll soon forget him, Sire." "Our armies must attack." "Portugal has risen up against Madrid." "The Catalan ambassadors are in Paris and ask you to liberate their province." "I must congratulate you, sir." "Your patience has borne fruit." "I'll lead this expedition." "We'll push Spain back across the Pyrenees." "I'll forget the disappointments of Mr. de Cinq-Mars, who is never where I seek him." "He's impulsive, but completely devoted to you, your Majesty." "Don't refuse him your favor." "He takes advantage of my favor." "He takes advantage." "Monsieur de Cinq-Mars!" "His Majesty has been looking for you for hours." " He's in a bad mood." " That's not your concern." "Your horse!" "Never mind." "Here's his Majesty." "Leave us!" "What is going on?" "You're remiss in your duties." "I cannot put up with it." "Mr. de La Chesnaie told me you ran off to the duchess." "She was my brother's mistress." "Is it true?" "Yes, your Majesty." "Are you going to preach like Mr. de Richelieu?" "What do I care what the cardinal said!" "Here's what the king says." "Give up this woman." "You'll gain honor and not be drawn into dastardly plots." "Can't I serve you and love her?" "I won't tolerate it." "I don't want her to destroy you." "Forget her." "To console you, if you promise to break it off," "I'll give you 1,500 crowns and make you First Squire." "What do you say?" "As Wardrobe Master, this duty does not raise my status." "Then what will satisfy you?" "Make me Grand Squire, your Majesty." "Aren't I the son of a marshal of France?" "That is one of the most prestigious titles, Henri." "Many illustrious men seek it." "But I'll grant it to you." "Be worthy of it." "I'll ride with you to Perpignan which we'll besiege together to take Roussillon from the Spanish." "I'll fight to the death beside you, Sire." "So I swear before God." "Stand up," "Grand Squire, it's not about dying, but living." "Alive or dead, I'm yours, Sire." "And I give you my heart." "And I promise no other will share it." "Well!" "What is it?" "Be glad." "We will soon be joined by the sacred bonds of marriage." "The king made me his Grand Squire." "Tomorrow, I'll be a duke and a French peer." "Congratulations, Grand Squire." "The king must love you." "Perhaps he'll make you duke and supreme commander." "You forget the man who won't let us marry." "I know, the cardinal." "He refused." "He hates you as much as you hate him." "I hate him because he is ruining France." "Because he's made the king his servant, because he attacks the queen and kills good Christians." "He has blood on his hands." " We must stop him." " How?" "The king trusts him." "But the king loves you." "You can tell him the cardinal spies on him and makes him a puppet." "He must know who really controls the country." "Did I hear you right, Madame?" "You ask me to betray the man who helped me and gave me the chance to meet you?" "What loyalty do you owe a man who forbids you to love?" "Will we never be happy?" "Must he tyrannize us as he tyrannizes France?" "The cardinal is using you, Henri." "You're just a pawn in his game." "And your happiness will last only if you serve his plans." "Believe me." "By fighting him, you'll avoid inevitable disgrace." "It's doomed to fail." "The king's faith in the cardinal can't be shaken." "Then we must take other action." "How?" "Do you love me, Henri?" "Can you doubt it?" "I love you too." "And in love, the means do not matter." "Hurry!" "The time has come, my friends." "The king leaves Paris tomorrow with the army, leaving the cardinal to his dirty dealings." "This time, we won't fail." "The cardinal must not know..." "I bring you a man who is on our side, gentlemen." "You put us in great danger, Madame." "It's madness to bring the cardinal's creature here." "He works for Richelieu." "Do you doubt my word?" "That's enough." "Put away your swords." "I vouch for Mr. de Cinq-Mars." "It's true that the cardinal aided in my happy destiny, but he has asked for too much in return." "I refused to spy on the king and his ways disgust me." "I see that there is too much blood spilled, too many taxes, and too much poverty." "Welcome, Grand Squire." "What do you think of a pension of 40,000 crowns from his Majesty Philip IV of Spain?" "I think it sounds very good." "Consider it done." "I knew you'd join us." "Here's where things stand." "Fontrailles will leave tonight for Madrid with our treaty offer for the king, stating that, when the cardinal's death is announced," "9,000 horsemen in Roussillon will invade the kingdom at my orders." "This is agreed by her Majesty Queen Anne of Austria." "Don't speak the queen's name." "He's right." "The queen must never be implicated in our actions." "Have no fear." "No one will leave without swearing an oath." "Your swords, gentlemen." "Swear by the Holy Virgin to always keep our plot secret and never reveal our names or that of the queen." "I swear!" "If it's true that Cinq-Mars has joined my enemies, he'll pay for this betrayal." " Should we arrest them?" " No." "I want to know what they're plotting and catch them in the act." "How many are there?" "About a dozen." "I recognize the queen's advisor." "He'll pay for it with his life." "For now, watch them and keep me informed." "Your Eminence." "I never should've brought Henri d'Effiat into the king's service." "I acted upon foolish emotion." "In politics, you can't trust your feelings." "Wait before blaming him." "Perhaps he's working for us." "No." "He's betrayed me, I know it." "And yet you warned me." "How could I imagine he'd fall in love with Marie de Gonzague?" "My worst enemy." "He's in her power." "And Henri isn't Rodrigue." "His passion defeats his honor and he'll betray me." "I can't believe it." "Your Eminence." "Your Eminence!" "The viscount de Fontrailles was seen in Orléans, disguised as a monk." "He's going to Spain." "How do you know?" "His squire." " He spoke but will speak no more." " Very good." "Is Mr. d'Orléans still hiding at Saint-Sulpice Abbey?" "He hasn't left, your Eminence." "Let him stay there!" "He can't pray enough to save his soul." "Watch him." "My lord." "If Gaston d'Orléans' damned soul runs to Madrid, it's to tell our enemies of our plans." "Places, gentlemen." "His Majesty arrives." "Well, Grand Squire!" "What do you want?" "His Majesty asked me to attend the council, your Eminence." "You don't belong here, Grand Squire." "Withdraw." "But the king..." "I order you to leave, little marquis!" "My orders suffice." "This is not the king's council, it's a war council." "You're not an army officer as far as I know." "War is not your concern." "For the last time, leave this place immediately." "Where are you going?" "Isn't it time for the council?" "What's wrong?" "You're so pale..." "It's painful for me to refuse you, Sire." "I wouldn't help you by meeting with the captains who lead your armies." "I don't have their knowledge or experience of war." "I recognize your pure and loyal heart." "We'll gather our troops here, in Narbonne, before entering Roussillon at his Majesty's orders." "Go on, Monsieur de Richelieu." "I invited the Grand Squire, but he thought himself unworthy." "We should praise his wisdom and discernment." "I will tell him." "Well!" "How does our expedition look?" "Very good, Sire." "Our forces are stronger." "The Duke d'Olivares holds the fort of Rivesaltes that we must take before reaching Perpignan." "That could cause heavy losses." "Couldn't we count on some turncoats?" "If we give pensions to some townspeople, they'll open the gates." "You read my mind, your Majesty." "My agents are working on it." "Gentlemen," "The French crown has an heir." "Long live Louis, dauphin of France." "Long live Louis, dauphin of France." "Marie!" "Marie!" "It's decided." "I'll kill the cardinal myself." "Quiet." "Do you want to go to the Bastille?" " What fury!" " You will hear of it." "From rumors, alas." "I swear it." "He'll pay for insulting me." "Calm down!" "No." "I don't want calm, I want revenge." "Not so rash." "The king loves you, have him banish the cardinal." "Or better yet:" "get his blessing to kill him." "Blessing or no blessing, Richelieu will die." "I leave with his Majesty for Narbonne." "I'll wait for the cardinal and do it." "Let his Highness know." "I fear for you, Henri." "Let the assassins of the king of Spain do it." "You don't understand, Marie." "Not satisfied with refusing our marriage," "Mr. de Richelieu besmirched my name in front of the lords." "I won't be worthy of you until I've killed him." "May God protect you!" "If you succeed, Henri, a great destiny awaits you." "Awaits us, Marie." "Never doubt my love." "I miss you already." "Come back safe and sound." "I can't take it anymore." "My legs are stiff as logs." "A 5-hour ride!" "At this rate, we'll be there in 1 week." "When does the cardinal leave Paris?" "Tomorrow morning." "His rheumatism makes him break up the trip." "He'll sleep here tomorrow, at the mayor's, inside the city walls." "Isn't he too old to manage the government?" "What do you mean?" "You gave him this position 18 years ago." "Aren't you tired of these rebellions?" "Of the blood he spills for his own glory?" "Such talk could land you in the Bastille," "Henri." "I love you, so I speak my mind." "I'm not one of those flatterers who talk behind your back." "That's true." "That's why I love and forgive you." "I know my prime minister's flaws better than anyone." "I know his love of the money he's amassed." "I know his vain pretentions to write plays." "It's amusing to see him enraged at Corneille's success while he has The Cid banned by his Academy out of jealousy." "I laugh at his ambition to build an ideal city named after himself:" "Richelieu." "He prefers matters of state to those of the church and skips saying mass to go see his mistresses, the most beautiful women in Paris." "What is there to add?" "That he likes shedding blood." "and cutting off the heads of great nobles." "And killing your soldiers on the battlefield, and massacring your peasants who rebel against poverty." "What is there to add?" "That he likes spying on everyone for better control." "Starting with his king." "The cardinal spies on me?" "Your valet, Mr. de La Chesnaie, goes to his palace on Tuesdays to tell him all your words and actions." "If that's true, his Eminence must explain himself." "But have you by any chance become his enemy?" "Can't I both criticize and love him, Sire?" "Be careful." "Attacking him means attacking me." "You don't know what ruling France is like." "The kingdom consists of many peoples:" "Normans, Bretons, Basques," "Burgundians, Picards, Provençals..." "Making them agree to a common destiny called France and putting them under a single authority:" "that's the cardinal's ultimate plan." "Why give him so much power?" "Aren't you the king?" "With such an intelligent man who wants France's glory in my service," "I must step back, Henri." "But nothing is done without my agreement." "The cardinal tells me what he does every day." "We decide together." "And because of his good judgment and trust in you" "I can open my heart to you without fear." "It's shameful!" "How can a cardinal make alliances with heretics to fight my brother, the very Catholic king?" "Mr. de Richelieu's only religion is serving the state." "Your Majesty, the Marquis de Mirabel is here and would like to see you." "Show him in and leave us, please." "Antonio." "What news?" "Here's the treaty signed by the king, your brother, your Majesty." "You and Gaston d'Orléans alone have a copy." "Does he accept our conditions?" "All of them, your Majesty." "God is with us." "Only one thing is lacking." "What is it?" "The cardinal's death." "Have you lost your head, Mademoiselle?" "Coming here in the daytime." "Something is going on." "The queen has been agitated for days." "She can't sleep and is easily irritated." "You want to tell me of the queen's moods?" "That's not all." "Yesterday, the Marquis de Mirabel came to see her." "Later that night, her Majesty wouldn't let me undress her for bed." "Well?" "She must have been hiding a document on her person that she hid in her trunk in the secret drawer." "Thank you for telling me this, Mademoiselle." "Go back to her." "A plot is afoot." "And I suspect Anne of Austria is part of it." "How can we be sure?" "By attacking." "That's the best defense." "Your Majesty, his Eminence would like to see you." "My God!" "What can he want?" "Don't make him wait." "Excuse my intrusion, your Majesty." "I came to pay my respects before leaving to join the king." "I'm touched." "I know your time is precious and your work is heavy." "Nothing would be possible without the king's trust." "Yes." "I pray for his victory every day." "But it breaks my heart to see so many Catholics kill each other, when my brother offers peace." "I have a request, your Majesty." ""A request," your Eminence?" "Before this journey from which I may never return," "I'd like to greet the dauphin." "Of course." "Mademoiselle de Chémerault!" "Your Majesty?" "Ask Madame de Lansac to bring the dauphin Louis to the cardinal." "Right away, your Majesty." "I'll pray for your safe return, your Eminence." "I'm sure that your fervent and sincere prayers will protect me." "May God protect your Highness!" "Enjoy him before the king returns, your Majesty." "What do you mean, your Eminence?" "Before he left, the king told me he won't let you bring up the prince." "But why?" "His Majesty is fed up with your plotting with France's enemies." "You understand he cannot stand for the queen of France to share intelligence with those he is fighting." "Some at the Court even call it... treason." "Take away my son?" "I couldn't bear it." "A sign of good faith would make his Majesty give up this plan, which he is reluctant to carry out." "You will have it, Monsieur de Richelieu." "Father!" "Father!" "What's going on?" "You must save me, Father." "The king and the cardinal suspect me of treason." "They threaten to take away my child." "Calm down, your Highness." "No one will talk." "We all took an oath." "Oaths are worth little in prison." "You must help me, Father." " What can I do?" " Here." "Take this document." "Get it into the cardinal's hands." " How?" " It doesn't matter." "No one must know how he came by it." "Or it's death for you." "Trust me." "How can I refuse you, your Majesty?" "At dawn, I'll send one of my monks." "He won't speak, for he's mute." "God bless you, Father." "Bishop's Palace in Narbonne" "Welcome, Count." "Thank you, your Excellency." "Victory!" "Long live the king!" "Take care of the wounded." "Come, let me kiss you." "I've never seen such courage." " I only did my duty." " More than that." "But promise you'll risk your life no more." "I can't lose you." "My life doesn't count, Sire." "Think only of your glory." "How I love you!" "Come." "Let's celebrate your exploits." "Count, here you are finally!" "Where's my prime minister?" "Resting in Narbonne." "His rheumatism pains him." "He'll be happy to see you if you go there." "We'll go, Count." "Let's celebrate the Grand Squire, who took the fort of Rivesaltes, an incredible feat." "Congratulations, Monsieur." "You should've seen his energy as he led his men." "He seemed immortal." "Alas, we suffered losses." "The essential thing is that you're alive." "Monsieur de Chavigny, tell his Eminence we'll come see him." "I want to tell him of our victory." "If Henri d'Effiat shone in battle as you say, we should be glad, Chavigny." "It was time he did something." "Indeed." "The king showers him with praise and has never been so taken with him." "What is that?" "A mixture of frog and bat secretions that a Jewish doctor recommended." "Fine." "We're a step away from heresy." "Who are you?" "Wait." "Stop him!" "By the devil's horns!" "He's dead." "Well, Chavigny!" "Did you see the devil?" "Almost, my lord." "Look at this." "The seal of the house of Austria." " What is this?" " I don't know." "It was given to me by a monk who killed himself rather than be taken." "He must've had a good reason to prefer hell to heaven." "By the Holy Spirit!" "It's impossible." "Well?" "This is high treason, Chavigny." "A conspiracy as never seen in France." "What exactly?" "A shameful treaty signed in great secrecy between the king of Spain and Gaston of France." "To stab us in the back." "The traitor sold the kingdom to our enemies." "All the names are here:" "Duke de Bouillon, Count de Fontrailles, and guess who?" "The Marquis de Cinq-Mars." "A serpent that I raised myself." "An ingrate given glory who kisses the king even as he kills him." "It's an unspeakable crime." "We must take action." "We will, Chavigny." "Don't worry." "I'd like to know who brought us this evidence for the upcoming trial." "Should I take it to the king?" "No." "I must show it to him myself." "Otherwise you'd be in danger." "In danger?" "He is so blinded by his passion for Cinq-Mars that he'll call you a liar and have you killed." "Your Majesty." "What joy to see you, my dear minister!" "Have you heard the news?" "Thanks to the Grand Squire, the way is clear for the siege of Perpignan." "I'm glad, your Majesty." "My warmest congratulations, Grand Squire." "His bravery was so outstanding that I gave him the command of our army." "That's not appropriate, your Majesty." "Excuse me?" "Why not?" "Many generals with titles grander than that of marquis will be insulted." "Their titles are not titles of glory." "Do you seek to anger me?" "Am I king, yes or no?" "Do you doubt my ability to decide who should lead our army?" "Don't insist, Sire." "Mr. de Richelieu thinks I'm unworthy of dying on a battlefield." "I judge you for what you are, Mr. de Cinq-Mars." "Explain yourself, your Eminence." "I have nothing to say to you." "Leave." "I must speak to the king." "My word, your Eminence!" "Believe me, your Majesty." "I must speak to you now of an extremely important matter." "This is the last time you show me the door, sir." "Finally, something we can agree on." "Henri!" "I'm very displeased, your Eminence." "You know my affection for him." "Why treat him that way in front of me?" "Here's my answer, your Majesty." "It's not possible." "This is a crude forgery." "Alas, Sire." "Those are indeed the signatures of Philip IV and your brother." "And the seal is from the house of Austria." ""It is decided that his Majesty Philip IV" ""will deal only with his Highness Gaston of France" ""and that Spain will recover all the forts that" ""King Louis XIII has..."" "If this treachery is real, it's the most vile treason." "What did I do to my brother that he should plot against me?" "You reign, your Majesty." "He was always my mother's favorite." "Marie de Medici made him unreliable, a fickle man who fucked all the women of my Court!" "Finish reading, your Majesty." "You don't yet know all." ""150,000-crown pension for his Highness Gaston d'Orléans," ""20,000 crowns for the viscount de Fontrailles," ""40,000 crowns for the Grand Squire..."" "No." "It's impossible." "This is not true." "It's another one of your schemes!" "I won't be fooled." "This time you've gone too far." "What do you accuse me of, your Majesty?" "Of adding his name to this shameful conspiracy." "You hate him because he won't serve you." "He told me so." "You're capable of such deception, sir." "Accusing Henri d'Effiat of high treason when he just risked his life at Rivesaltes... it makes no sense." "That's possible, your Majesty." "I'd like to believe it." "But the kingdom is at stake and you must not hesitate." "You must sign prison orders, so our soldiers can seize these traitors." "We can release the Grand Squire when he proves his innocence." "But if he's guilty, he will flee." "Let's keep my brother from doing more harm." "He's the soul of the plot." "It won't be easy." "But knowing his vanity, we've perfected a trap that will bring him to us." "I'll kill him!" "I tell you, I'll..." "I'll kill him tonight." "You should've done it just now." "In front of the king?" "That's impossible." "But I'll do it tonight." "I'll smother him in his sleep, and no one will miss him." "From someone who wishes you well." ""You're in danger." "Flee."" "Big news." "You're mad!" "It's the king's handwriting." "Why not the Pope's?" "Good God, save yourself!" "Don't you see you're in danger, despite the king's friendship?" "I don't fear the cardinal." "We found him in a tavern." "The king will punish you for this humiliation," "Cardinal." "Tonight you'll be taken to Lyon and secretly put in the royal fort of Pierre-Encise, until your accomplices join you, Grand Squire." "What accomplices?" "What are you talking about?" "Take him away!" "Wait." "What do you accuse me of?" "Your Eminence!" "Answer." "I want to see the king." "I want to see Louis." "Château of the Duke de Lorraine" "You here?" "Greetings, your Highness." "I've ridden for 6 days to bring you an order from the king." "From my brother?" "I'm listening." "He wants you to command the army of Champagne to defend our borders against the Spanish." "Here's his letter naming you general." "I will heed my brother's call." "I'll saddle my horse and come with you." "My sword!" "Thank the duke, gentlemen." "And safe travels." "Your Highness, please, give me your sword." "What, Count?" "Upon the king's order," "I arrest you!" "Your Majesty, Mr. de Thou needs to speak with you urgently." "We've been betrayed." "My God!" "How is it possible?" "A copy of the treaty fell into the cardinal's hands." "It's a betrayal." ""A betrayal"?" "By whom?" "Will we ever know?" "Farewell." "I must leave France before I'm arrested." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty, open up!" "King's orders." "It's too late." "Farewell, Madame." "I love you and will never reveal your name, even under questioning." "Thank you, my friend." "May God protect you!" "Your Majesty!" "I have orders to arrest Mr. de Thou." "Well, go ahead, captain!" "Go ahead!" "I'm yours, Monsieur d'Artagnan." "Perpignan is ours, Sire." "The admiral's ships have destroyed the Spanish fleet." "And the people opened the gates." "The Spanish are fleeing for the Pyrenees." "That's good, Tréville." "What news of the Grand Squire?" ""The Grand Squire"?" "He was arrested, Sire." ""Arrested"?" "Arrested, you say?" "His Eminence took him to Lyon to be tried." "Maybe that's best." "He'll soon be declared innocent." "It cannot be otherwise." "To your horses!" "To Lyon!" "Royal Prison of Lyon" "How you've disappointed me." "As you have me, my lord." "Your insolence won't save you." "I'm not the king." "That's certain." "You have neither his imagination nor his deep soul." "You don't know me well." "I know your heart is barren and that's enough." "What are you made of?" "Is there blood in your veins?" "Enough that I believed in you, but you're not what I hoped." "You did not inherit your father's moral values." "I forbid you to speak of my father or of morals." "The game is over, Henri." "No more indulgence." "You're in the hands of justice." "What "justice"?" "Yours?" "Which condemns before the trial?" "I'm only guilty of loving a duchess and being loved by the king." "Very little indeed." "How could you get involved in this conspiracy betraying France to Spain?" "Was it love for the Duchess de Nevers or hatred for me, though I treated you like a son?" ""A son"?" "You deceive yourself, sir." "You know nothing of a father's love." "A father wants only his child's happiness." "But you, charitable soul, want to have spies everywhere and people to serve you." "Bringing you into the sublime workings of my politics was my greatest sign of love." "Is politics everything to you?" "Farewell." "The chancellor will question you." "I have nothing to say to him." "Think it over." "Your life is at stake." "His Majesty will free me." "He knows what love is." "I was impressed by the ruse you used to offer me these... lovely lodgings, Monsieur du Plessis." "What does my brother accuse me of this time?" "Something that threatens your very life." "You have committed a crime against the state that cannot be pardoned." "Impossible, your Eminence." "As God is my witness, I've always been loyal to France and the king." "Do you know this treaty?" "It's signed by you and King Philip IV of Spain." "Who gave you this?" "The only way to save yourself is to make a full confession." "I'll tell all, your Eminence, if the king will pardon me." "The names of those who took part in this high treason?" "Yes." "Starting with the Grand Squire who is the mastermind." "I expected more nobility from the son of Henri IV." "It's true that you've already sold many of your friends." "I said only the truth, as you asked." "To each his own truth, your Highness." "What do you mean?" "I'm a prince of the blood." "The king alone can judge my actions!" "Your Majesty!" "I must speak with you." "In private." "What is it?" "We must save the Grand Squire." "The cardinal has arrested him." "Are you in love with Mr. de Cinq-Mars?" "I can't believe it." "It doesn't matter whether or not I love him." "I don't want him to die." "You're losing your head, Marie." "The king loves him too much." "He'll never let the cardinal go so far." "I already told his Eminence" "I have nothing to say." "It doesn't matter." "Here's the statement of his Highness, Duke d'Orléans." "He accuses you of many crimes." "Another of the cardinal's tricks." "Read it yourself." "And see the signature at the bottom." "Does a prince's oath mean nothing?" "I believed in him and he sends me to my death." "You cannot trust the powerful, Marquis." "They play with our lives." "But you can save yours." "Tell us how and why you got involved in this crime." "Where is he?" "I want to see the Grand Squire right now!" "That's impossible, Sire." "The chancellor is questioning him now in prison." "He'll go free." "Henri is innocent." "My respects, your Majesty." "Well, sir, have you released the Grand Squire?" "He's guilty, Sire." "That's impossible." "He just admitted his crimes." "Look, Sire." "These are lies!" "Henri couldn't betray me." "I know him." "He's a pure soul led astray by my cunning brother." "You're the guilty one." "You can't forgive him for loving me more than you." "Your resentment isn't motivated by the kingdom, but by your bitter heart." "You want revenge against this child whom you pampered but whose love you lost." "Isn't that true," "Monsieur de Richelieu ?" "You are confused, Majesty." "My only concern is for your safety and glory." "You couldn't stand him leaving you or me loving him." "Or that he's free as a bird." "You rejected him, humiliated him, made him desperate." "And you'll condemn him to make him disappear forever." "I want the king's justice to punish those who threaten state security." "Mr. de Cinq-Mars, along with Mr. de Thou, is guilty of high treason." "He must die." "My only mistake was introducing him to you." "So you're as guilty as he is." "I demand the Grand Squire be set free." "In that case, Sire, you must free me of my government duties." "What?" "You'll put your ministry at stake?" "Have I any choice?" "A king must prefer justice to pity." "Henri d'Effiat must die for betraying you and France." "No!" "I won't have it." "I won't allow it." "Others have died for less." "Do you know no pity?" "You would compromise all that we've built for years, your Majesty." "Will you put your authority and the unity of the kingdom in danger?" "Forget your heart and its passions, Sire." "Sign, and think of your subjects who want justice to protect them from traitors, even those who are handsome, young, and charming." "Sign." "Be strong with me." "As we've always been." "Sign." "You know I'm right." "Will I never have peace?" "Only the peace of the kingdom counts, Sire." "By signing, you aren't striking a head, but raising your throne." "Are you satisfied," "Prime Minister?" "You have your enemies' head." "I have no enemies but those of the state, Sire." "Where are you going?" "To Paris, your Majesty, where the university leaders wait for me to inaugurate the new Sorbonne we have built." "It's not a humane task to rule France, Chavigny." "You've given France your all for 18 years, your Eminence." "It's never been so powerful." "There's still much to be done." "And my remaining time is short." "Positions!" "Lift!" "March!" "Leave!" "Get out, all of you!" "All!" "No." "I want to die with my eyes open." "God knows I loved that child." "Subtitles:" "Eclair Group"

"The homeowner, Doctor Alvin Taylor, became alarmed when he heard a prowler in here." "He got his.38 revolver from the glove compartment of his car, which was parked out in the street." "He entered the garage..." " And gunfire, as they say, ensued." " Dr Taylor was hit in the hip." " Where did they take him?" " Mercy." " This look like a burglar to you?" " Cat burglar, maybe." "Dig the Gucci pumps." " Was there any ID on the deceased?" " No, I did a pat-down." "Nothing in her pockets, no wallet, no purse." " He's famous, you know." " Who, Taylor?" "I never heard of him." "Local hero, sports medicine." "His wife's famous, too." "A famous dermatologist?" "I doubt it." "How did you know she was a dermatologist?" "Vanity plates." "C" " M-P-L-X-N-M-D?" "Yeah, complexion doc." "You know, "If u cn rd this, u cn get a gd job."" "Let's go talk to her." "Maybe she can recommend a good wrinkle cream." "Thank you." "Apparently your husband shot the woman who wounded him." "Apparently?" "Isn't it obvious?" "We don't like to jump to conclusions till we have the facts." "Is he in trouble?" "Not if it was in self-defence." "So what happened here tonight?" "Alvin went out to the garage to get something from the freezer." "I heard gunshots." "When he came back in, he was bleeding." "He'd been shot." "Said he thought he wounded a prowler, a woman." "He wasn't sure." "It was dark." "He was confused and frightened." "We don't know if she was a prowler, not yet." " Er, do you recognise her?" " Why would I?" "Maybe she's a neighbour." "You might have seen her around." "Take a look." "It's not graphic." "Oh, no." "Oh..." " Do you know her?" " Mary." "You'd think they'd spend a nickel on better joe." "Same old strange brew." "It's been a month and I still can't wrap my mind around the layout." "I'm thinking I'm in the wrong squad room." "It's like this dream I had when I was a kid." "First day of school, wandering around looking for the right classroom." "People are staring at me and this girl I had a crush on is laughing at me." "I realise I didn't get dressed." "All I have on is my shoes and socks." " Black socks?" " Argyle." " I had that dream." " Everybody has it." "It's the human condition in a nutshell." "Did you hear from the bank?" " They were supposed to call." " They'd better." "Waterfront's falling apart." "The freezer's down, the pump is shot." "It takes longer to draw a pint than to brew one." "Relax, Munchkin." "It's a lock." "It's 5K, lunch money." "They'll be honoured to loan it to us." " I hope so." " You floating a loan?" " Yeah, capital improvements." " Emergency repairs." " It ain't that bad." " You go in the kitchen?" "The kitchen is immaculate." "You could eat off the floor." "Right." "Pay day." "Read 'em and weep." "So what happened when I when I left you and Rene last night?" " Nothing." "She gave you a ride home, didn't she?" "Let me just explain something to you." "Me and her had a talk." "Two mature adults sat down and we had a little chat." "Both agreed:" "No hanky-panky, no hoochie-coochie." "No dipping the pen in the company ink well." "We're strictly professionals." "Yeah." " Am I right, Rene?" " What?" " Partners, me and you." " You bet you." " Buddies." "You got my back, I got yours." " Yeah." "All this male plumage on display is for your benefit." "I see anything I like, I'll send up a flare." "Right." "Hey, Ballard, M-Gee." "Front page of "The Sun"." "Way to go." "Alvin Taylor is one hotshot sports MD." " Doctor to the stars." " We know." "He was Sugar Ray's cut man." " Sugar Ray Leonard?" " Sugar Ray Falsone!" "Get outta here." " My Golden Gloves moniker." " And Taylor was good?" " The best." " You were kind of a bleeder, huh, Paul?" "I took a couple stitches." "How come Gharty's not working this week?" "He's taking some personal time." "He and Flora split up, you know." "My heart goes out." "Ballard!" "Giardello!" "In my office." "Giardello?" "When my dad called me by my last name, I was about to be grounded." "You've never had a Giardello summons, the laser beam Gee Ray?" "Strips varnish off furniture, enamel off teeth?" "Not yet." "Well, you're in for a treat, Rene." "Oh, man, that's it." "I'm leaving this country." " What, bad news?" " I've been levied by the IRS." "I'm moving to Bolivia." "Go on." "Suzanne Taylor has no idea what her sister was doing in the garage with a gun or why she shot her brother-in-law." " Have you talked to Alvin Taylor yet?" " He had surgery last night." "We're going to the hospital now." "And the dead woman, the wife's sister?" "Nothing so far." "I hate nothing." "Gharty's not back till Tuesday." " Work this case." " I already am." " Ballard's the primary." " I understand that." "Despite her fresh-faced appearance, she's a savvy detective." " You might learn something." " I'm sure I will." " Mike caught the call, so..." " I don't care." "He's here as the liaison with the FBI." "He's not a Baltimore detective." "He cannot be the primary." " Got it." " Michael?" "I heard you twice the first time." "You didn't pay your taxes." "I did." "My accountant just failed to file them." "That's the problem." "He's your cousin." " And the bar's accountant." " That's what worries me." "What were you thinking about?" "Did you forget? "What is it, 15 April?" "I got to do somethin' today."" "I don't care if you go to jail." "I hope he's paid the bar's taxes." " Ruin our credit rating." " Don't worry, we'll get the damn loan." "We'd better or we're gonna be out of business before the end of the year." "Bayliss, don't give me any Zen song and dance about how money, tax, the IRS are an illusion." "No, on the contrary, John, money is Mara, the destroyer." "The evil one." "This is where they brought me when I ate a blue crab and developed a sudden allergy to shellfish." "You went to hospital for an allergy?" "I went into anaphylactic shock and stopped breathing, huh?" "This is one tough town, man." "In one year I have almost died from eating a local delicacy," "I got shot in the ankle at my own desk, not to mention my blind dates." " Nurse Tindeco?" " Hey, Detective." "How are you?" "I read about the shootout last May." " Oh, I'm fine." "Full recovery." " That's terrific." " Staying away from crustaceans?" " The ones that can't buy me a drink." " Is your partner back on the job yet?" " He's just taking a personal day..." " We're here to see Alvin Taylor." " Room A, down the corridor." "Tell him to call me." "We were watching a video, "Dark Victory" with Bette Davis." "Suzanne asked me to get her some ice cream from the freezer." "So I went out." "I heard the neighbour's dog barking." "Door to the garage was ajar." "I got my gun out the glove compartment of my car and eased inside." "Somebody was hiding behind Suzanne's car." "Whoever it was stood up and aimed at me." "We both fired." "And you didn't recognise her?" "Happened so fast." "I mean, she disappeared behind the car." "I didn't know if I'd hit her or not." "So I dragged myself in the house." "Suzanne called the police." "Do you have any idea why your sister-in-law would be in the dark with a 9mm in her hand?" "None." "I'm completely mystified." " You got along with your sister-in-law?" " Sure." "You know, in-laws." "Not quite kith, not quite kin." " So, no animosities?" " Absolutely none." "No recent arguments?" "No long-standing grudges, no suppressed resentments?" "I believe I answered your question, Agent Giardello." " How's your marriage?" " My marriage?" "My marriage is superb." "I love my wife." "We're devoted to one another." "Weapon that you fired, the.38-calibre Colt?" "Bought it last April." "There'd been some break-ins in the neighbourhood." "I am so angry with him for buying that gun." "I told him this is what happens when you keep firearms around, this sort of tragic, senseless, stupid accident." "If he thought there was a prowler in the garage, why didn't he wait for the police?" " Well, your sister had a weapon, too." " You're assuming it was hers?" "A 9mm semi-automatic Glock was found lying on the floor next to her body." "I thought you didn't like to jump to conclusions." "We're testing for fingerprints." " Fingerprints can be forged." " Forged?" " Transferred from one object to another." " That would take expertise." "Why would anyone go to the trouble?" "To frame someone, of course." "If we find your sister's fingerprints, it's a frame-up?" "That'd be my assumption." "Are you saying she didn't shoot your husband?" "If it wasn't her gun, she couldn't have shot him, could she?" "If she didn't shoot your husband, who did?" "I don't have an explanation for what happened." "Perhaps you ought to speak to my husband again." ""Physician convalescing, sister-in-law shooting under investigation."" "Oh, this guy's got friends in high places." "He's massaged the Mayor's calves, sewn up the Governor's Achilles." "We gotta put this down fast, or we are gonna end up on the pawn shop squad." "Do you think he thought it was a burglar?" " What if he knew it was her?" " Gave him an excuse to shoot." "Why?" "He said they got along." "Maybe they were having an affair and he lured her there and found a pretext to pop her." " What about her gun?" " Maybe she was suspicious of him." "Besides, who says that it was her gun?" "You never heard of a throw-down piece?" "Well, his wound was fairly minor." "Minor wounds are those that happen to other people." "I meant that it could have been self-inflicted." " That's where the wife was going." " What a piece of work." "Frame-up." " What's that about?" " She's distraught at her sister's death." "Can't believe her baby sib would do anything shady." "Still, her husband's in hospital, recovering, and she's busy casting blame at him." " Sound like a superb marriage?" " Sounds average to me." " I don't know." "I've never been married." " Neither have I." "I have, three times." "I'm just a cock-eyed optimist at heart." " How's Gharty doing?" " He says he's fine." "Which worries me." "I can't believe divorce is that easy, especially after 20 years." "It ain't, believe me." "Even for a couple who can't wait to split the sheets." "Tears you up." "Poor Gharty." "The Irish have a tendency to internalise their emotions, unlike us Mediterranean types." "Repression." "It makes 'em prone to nervous breakdowns, alcoholism, ulcers." "I'd keep an eye on him if I were you." "Father's Day, birthday, Christmas, every freaking year." "Father's Day, birthday, Christmas, anniversary." "You ever entertained the matrimonial fantasy?" " I've been asked." " What did you say?" "I said yes, but then I got cold feet." "Didn't feel right." "Stivers married?" "Sheppard?" "No, both single." "Actually, the entire unit is pretty much a bunch of love disasters." "Falsone's divorced, Gharty and Lewis are getting there," "Bayliss is single, Munch married three times." "My father's a widower, lives alone." "Not a solid marriage in the bunch." "Yeah, well, cops are a skewed sample." "What about your folks?" "Did they have a good marriage?" "Define good." "My mother was devoted to my father, waited on him hand and foot." "She was all about him." "He was all about the job." "She supported that, so I guess from his point of view it was a great marriage." " What about from hers?" " If he was happy, she was happy." "How old-fashioned." "The Zapruder film is out on VHS and DVD, as if there's a choice." "DVD, definitely." "Gotta have that freeze-frame, stop-action enhancement capability." "We should open a bottle of Zinfandel and watch it frame by frame and see which ones are missing." "26 seconds of the most compelling footage ever filmed." "The woman of my dreams." "Munch..." " Can't wait." " Neither can I." " John." " What's the matter?" "You're shvitzing." "You got a guilty conscience?" "Humidity." "Could I have a diet root beer, please?" " So, how much do I owe?" " 30 grand, give or take." " 30 grand?" " Plus penalties and interest." " How is that possible?" " Remember your bathroom renovation?" "Yeah, it cost three times as much as they said it would." "That overage should have gone to pay your taxes instead of your contractor." "That was four years ago." "Once you fall behind, it's hamster on a treadmill." "You never catch up." "I thought the new IRS was supposed to be warm and cuddly." "Talk about spin." "I begged Whitecastle not to levy your pay cheque, said it was your only way to pay this off." "But these IRS guys don't listen to logic." "Once they get it in for you..." "Wait a minute." "The IRS has it in for me?" "Figure of speech." "Don't be paranoid." "You don't think paranoia's appropriate?" "I'd save it for after the audit." "Could I get a turkey club on toast?" "He was never really around much anyway, but after that, he really disappeared." "Vanished." "He loved us, of course, me and my sisters, but the real, unbreakable connection was between the two of them." "I envied them." "To have that kind of love..." "I dunno." "Maybe it's not possible in this day and age." "Well, I heard that you were living with somebody in Arizona." "I was." "Jodelle, architect." "We sort of split up six months ago." "Sort of?" "I moved out but we still slept together." " Oh, sex with your ex." "It's tricky." " Yeah, tricky, but intense." "Addictive." "So, where are you at now?" "I dunno." "I haven't talked to her since I got to Baltimore." "You haven't?" "Don't know what to say." "No one's home." "Let's come back later." "If she lives alone, no one's ever gonna be home." "We have a warrant." "We could kick the door down." "But on the other hand, why use force when guile will do?" "Ha!" "You tell people not to use their birthday for a PIN or to hide the house key in obvious places, but do they listen?" "Excuse me." "Can I help you?" "We're investigating the death of Mary Coleman." "Who are you?" "I'm her daughter, Carrie." "Oh, well, we'd just like to take a little look around." " Don't let me stop you." " Thank you." "I just came by to get some things for the funeral, clothes for her." "How grotesque is that?" "She was going on vacation next week." " Vegas." " Yeah, she loved to gamble." "It was her passion, her pastime and one true love." " Slots?" " Slots, horses, blackjack, poker." " You name it." " She any good?" "She put herself through college playing Five Card Stud." "Yeah, Mama was the card sharp." "Mm-hm." "Liked the ponies, too." "Pimlico, every chance she got." "She wasn't quite as good with ponies as she was with poker." "Do you know what happened?" "Not yet." "You?" "No, I wish I did." "Some terrible accident." "What else could it have been?" "Who's Roger?" "I got post-it slips with Roger's number on it." ""Roger called." Phone numbers, faxes, pager numbers." " What, is Roger her shrink?" " Roger was Mama's bookie." "Was there any bad blood between her and your uncle?" "No." "No, she was very close to both of them." "Uncle Alvin bought this house so she'd be nearby." "He bought the house for her?" "She couldn't afford this neighbourhood." "Why, what did she do for a living?" "I told you." "She was a gambler." "She was good, but not this good." "Hm." "Laptop with your latte?" "The days of the pool hall bookie are gone." " Modern odds-makers gotta be online." " You must be Michael." " You must be Roger." "This is Laura." " Please, sit." " Mary Coleman was your customer?" " Client." " She liked ponies." " Ponies, football." " How much did she owe you?" " Close to 100 grand, all told." " That's a lot of money." " Yes and no." "No, if she pays it back in a timely fashion." "Yes, if she don't." " She'd fallen behind?" " Further and further." "Far enough behind for somebody to want to make an example of her?" "What do you mean, whack her?" "Break her legs?" "What good would that do?" " Serve as a deterrent to others." " Please." "Others' misfortunes don't deter anyone." "Why was she so in the red?" "Just a streak of bad luck." "You know, she'd had 'em before." "This time she wasn't coming up with the gelt to pay her obligations." "Where did she get the money to cover her losses?" " Her brother-in-law." " Alvin Taylor?" "Makes sense." "Well-to-do doctor." "Although rumour has it the doctor isn't doing so well." "You placed casino bets for her?" "Then you used her social security number as a pass key." " What do you need?" " Credit check." " So much for the right to privacy." " You believe in the Easter Bunny, too?" "Mary Coleman was maxed out on her cards." " Cash advances." " Covering her markers." " Not with me." " Mary used other bookies?" "She was very promiscuous." "Defaulted on a $50,000 bank loan against the equity of her house." "Taylor buys her a house, she hocks it to pay off her habit." "Can't have made him happy." "No, especially since he co-signed the loan." "What are you doing?" "I'm seeing if I can eat anything that's not gonna give me kidney failure from high sodium intake." " You're into health, aren't you?" " Yeah, I was." "Just went off the wagon." "I had a nice time talking to you last night." "Oh, me, too." "So, er, Rene?" "So, er, Tim?" "Oh, forget it." "What?" "Well, you know..." "You know, it wouldn't really..." "Forget it." "I don't know." "I don't know." " You know, if..." " Want to go out sometime?" "Er, yeah, yeah." "Sure." "But I thought you were gay." "You thought that I was gay?" "That's what I heard?" "That is just..." "You know what?" "Actually, it's unbelievable." "I mean, you have sex with a guy a couple of times and..." " You're not gay?" " I like women." "You like men, too?" "Men?" "Um..." "You know, men, that's..." "Yeah, I like men." "Well, how would you describe yourself sexually?" "Um..." "Interested in the beauty and wonder of the universe." "Um..." "Open to all the various complexities and possibilities of existence." "Bi-curious." " I can relate to that." " You can?" "Mm-hm." "I've gone out with bi guys." "You have, really?" "I'm kind of bi-curious myself." "Most women are." "Mm, yeah." "Yeah." " Ballard, Michael G, what's up?" " Just the man we're looking for." " Tell us about Alvin Taylor." " Read the papers." "Well, we want some inside dope, stuff that might not be public knowledge." "Max Silva, Baltimore Boxing Club." "Grizzled guru of the sweet science." "Lucky for you, me and Max go way back." "Hm." "Taylor?" "Best cut man in the business." "You know that, Paul." "Alvin could close a cut and keep it closed." "This was in his prime." "Dr Taylor's past his prime?" "Aren't we all?" "Maybe not you, sweetheart." "But the rest of us, especially this one." "Put on some pounds." "You a cruiserweight now?" "Get outta here, cruiserweight." "Give me some gloves." "You got anybody worth sparring with." "Luis, get this guy some gloves and take him to the woodshed, will you?" " Cocky little SOB." " You are not serious?" "Oh, yes, I am." "I might suck at hoops, but in here watch my footwork." "I'll knock this pachuco on his culo." "I hope you break your nose." "Taylor wasn't working so much?" "Big purses pretty much dried up for him a few years ago." "Word was he lost his touch." "Taylor make a lot of money working the fights?" "Cab fare." "He made his bread and butter peddling steroids to fighters." "I found out, tossed his butt in the street." "Barred him from the gym." " Come on, show me what you got!" " Watch this." "Attaboy, Luis!" "Show that flat-footed, lard-assed, Eye-tie police how it's done!" "I wish someone would look at me that way." "Huh?" "Oh, come on!" "That expression on your face is illegal in some states." "Good, Luis!" "Take him down!" "I think Paul could use some of Dr Taylor's cut magic." "That's nothing." "That's just a scratch." "Come on, Falsone!" "Punch him!" "Jab him!" "Yeah." "Yeah, do that!" "Do that!" "Oh, my God!" "This is one of the darkest circles of Dante's Inferno." " Just relax." " Look at you." "You relax." " You'll have a cerebral incident." " I'm not nervous." "What do you bet this guy is a flaming pipsqueak, 5'2, 30 lbs overweight, bad hair, plugs, dandruff, end-stage halitosis?" "I wouldn't underestimate him, John." "Mr Munch, won't you come in." "What's happening with the Taylor-Coleman case?" "I'm checking phone records, Stivers is checking arms dealers." "Ballard is tracing the Glock." "I didn't ask for a blow-by-blow account of your time." "You may do that at the Bureau but you don't have to cover your ass with me." "Have you found anything?" "Lieu, it's my case." "Why don't I fill you in?" "Call from Taylor to Coleman 15 minutes before the incident." "Who called, the husband or the wife?" "Neither of them mentioned speaking to her." "Then you haven't found anything yet." "All right, now fill me in." "Mary Coleman's Glock is hot." "It was stolen in a home burglary last year." " Then sold again on the street." " Exactly." " Fingerprints?" " Lab's still working on 'em." "Find out who the dealer was who sold the Glock and keep me in the loop." "Don't make me have to look for you to get an update." " Is he always this harassing?" " Pretty much." "Hey, I just heard from a guy I know." "He has information to sell about someone looking to buy a handgun." " We'll go talk to him." " He's got something on the side." " You gotta look the other way." " His sideline's a federal offence?" "Could be." "He brokers the occasional handgun." " I'm not interested in middlemen." " OK." " Let's boogie." " Yeah." " Hey-hey, Sugar Ray." " Hey." " Good look for you." " You should see the other guy." "I did, not a mark on him." "What are you talking about?" "You seen me dump that chump on his boutta." "Rave on there, champ." "I gave that palooka a halo of tweety birds." "He's still hearing bells and whistles." " I think he likes you." " Oh, I don't even register on his radar." " Ha!" " Ha, ha!" "Do you think?" " Hey, we're friends of Terri Stivers." " She said you had something for us?" "You got something for me?" "About a month ago, a lady came in here looking for a piece." "Said it was for protection." "So, I tell her where she can find something to suit her needs." " Yeah, that's her." " Where did you send her?" "Lemonhead Boggs." "Services the neighbourhood." "Man, no supermarket, no bank, but hey, you can always buy a gun." "Where can we find this Lemonhead?" "Round the corner, Armando's Nouvelle Coiffures." "Anybody here seen Lemonhead?" "I loved saying that." "You don't get street names at the Bureau?" "Nothing like Lemonhead." "Let me say it again." "Lemonhead!" "What?" "Know her?" "Funny." "Her picture's been all over the news." "Don't care for the news." "It's too depressing." "She bought a gun from you about a month and a half ago." "9mm Glock." "Don't know where you get your information from cos I don't sell guns." "We're working a murder, not looking to hurt you." "Look, I'm getting my dome done here." "Now, do you mind?" "I got another idea." "♪ The look of love is in your eyes" "♪ A look your heart can't disguise" "♪ The look of love" "♪ Is saying so much more" "♪ Than words could ever say" "♪ And what my heart has heard" "♪ Well, it takes my breath away" "♪ I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you" "♪ How long I have waited... ♪" "So, Mary Coleman, who hates guns by all accounts, takes target practice three days before shooting Alvin." "Why would she want to kill him?" "Homicide, family, almost always one of two things:" "Money or love." " Oh, money I understand." " Well, you wouldn't kill for love?" "Would you?" "Oh, you're scaring me now." "♪ I love you so ♪" "We have evidence that Mary Coleman bought a gun and was learning how to use it." "I can't think of any reason why she would do that or why she would want to harm me." "Your sister-in-law racked up some big gambling debts." "I'm not gonna discuss Mary's private life with you." "Did you cover her losses over the years?" "That's family business not yours." " Do you have life insurance?" " Of course." "Is your wife the beneficiary, not your sister-in-law?" "What are you getting at?" "Some sort of motive?" " Is it a sizable policy?" " My finances are not your concern." " We can subpoena your records." " What about that loan?" "What loan?" " The one you co-signed." " I didn't co-sign any loan." " Against the house you bought her?" " No, absolutely not." " Detectives." " Dr Taylor." "Honey, do you know anything about some equity loan" "Mary took out against her house?" "No, first I've heard of it." "How you feeling?" "Ready to go home?" "Champing at the bit, baby." "You threw your back out meditating?" "Er, you know, you sit zazen for hour and a half straight in the Zendo, and, you know, I tried to leap up too quickly off my zafu cushion, and zing went the strings on my sciatica, OK?" "So how's it going with Sheppard?" "It's a total meltdown." "She handed me my lunch." "Oh, you asked her out?" "On the basketball court." "Cleaned my clock." "So that's it?" "A woman beats you in a game and you lose all interest?" "Hell, yes." "After what she did to me, I'd be a little worried that I couldn't..." "You know, dunk it, jam it, take it to the hole when the game was on the line." "I am so glad I'm not a man." "I'm glad you're not a man, too." "I'd miss those unique insights into the female psyche." " Crude." " Who, Falsone?" "No." "Taylor's signature on this life insurance loan application." "Obviously forged." "Ballistics?" "Bullet in Taylor's hip matches the Glock and Taylor's.38 shot Coleman." "She fired, he fired." "I hate these kind of cases." "Taylor has a sizable policy." "Beneficiary is his wife." "And then his sister-in-law." "Pass Go, collect dough, pay off your bookie." "Hey, Lusko." "What you got on the Taylor-Coleman shootings?" "We lifted some partials off the 9mm that matched the dead woman." "Trace Analysis called, found powder residue on the right hand." "So, Coleman fired the Glock, no question." "Shot Alvin Taylor." "There's another set of prints on the barrel and the grip." " Whose?" " Don't know." "I eliminated Alvin Taylor." "No match in the database." "OK, thank you." "Let's take another run at finding the shmoe who sold the hot Glock." "Let's squeeze Lemonhead, refresh his memory." "It's $300." "What you got?" "Let me see what you got." "Come on, man." "I ain't got all day." "Oh, no!" "My man, Lemonhead!" "The good humour man." " How's business?" " What's this?" "Your rolling stock?" "Now, I told you I didn't sell that lady no handgun." " Not that I sell guns." " Federal Agent." "I can get an ATF posse here in ten minutes." "You know about taking a Federal fall." "Mandatory sentences, no chance of parole, no night light in your cell." "All right, all right." "What?" "You sell this woman a handgun?" "I could tell you yes, but I'd be lying just to save my ass." "Why did she buy off the corner?" "Suburban type like her can get one legal." "You sure you never get anybody down here like that?" "Yeah, about a month ago I had a lady down here." "I told her she'd get her car jacked." "She said, "Who'd be dumb enough to jack a car with vanity plates?"" "I said, "A lot of crack heads can't read."" "Hey, oh, vanity plates?" "Yeah, some kind of doctor or something." "Yeah, that could be her." "Maybe." " On the bounce, baby." " Yeah, on the bounce." "Suzanne Taylor." "Now, what would a dermatologist be wanting with a handgun?" "Well, like you said, it's a tough town." "If we can get fingerprints from Suzanne Taylor, we think they will match the prints from Coleman's Glock used to shoot her brother-in-law." "Will this Lemonhead Boggs character testify that he sold the weapon to Suzanne Taylor?" "If we jam him on another charge and then offer him a deal." "He's no choirboy." "He's dealing handguns." "If both women handled the weapon that Boggs sold to Suzanne Taylor, and Boggs testifies, maybe we have a conspiracy." "Mary made the inquiries while Suzanne made the actual purchase." "Suzanne calls Mary, tells her to hide in the garage and ambush Alvin." "15 minutes later, she asks Alvin to get some ice cream." "He hears a dog barking, becomes suspicious, grabs his.38." "Which the wife didn't know he had." "He confronts who he thinks would be an intruder." "Shots are fired, he's wounded, Mary's dead." "I'll get you a court order for Suzanne Taylor's prints as a material witness." "If they match, we'll arrest her, conspiracy to commit murder." "Let's print the bitch." " Good work." " Thanks." "This ink has got to be terrible for your skin." "Toxic, carcinogenic probably." "It watches off with soap and water." "Whose bright idea was this, I wonder?" "You can't question me until the lawyer arrives." "I'll bet Mary thought of it first." "Forge your husband's signature, then kill him for the life insurance." "Yeah, must have been her idea." "She needed the money." "Detective, don't try to beguile me." "I'm immune to your charms." "See, what I don't understand is how did she get you to go along with it?" "Your husband said you had a superb marriage." "I don't understand how she talked you into it." " He said what?" " Weren't those his words?" ""Superb"." "Alvin." " How was the audit?" " I get to keep my firstborn." " Ouch." "How bad was it?" " $1,000 a month for three years." "You'll have to get a second job." " I have a second job." " A second second job." "Mike, do you know anybody in the IRS?" " IRS?" " Hey, don't go there." "I need information on an IRS agent:" "Address, phone number, marital status." "You want to dig up dirt on an IRS agent?" "Isn't there some secret database that you could access?" "Are you nuts?" "You don't mess with the IRS." "You could stand toe-to-toe with these guys." "I could." "The question is, why would I?" "Leave it alone, Munchkin." "I'm not gonna stalk the guy, Mike." "I just need an edge." " How's your time off?" " Spent it packing my things." "Oh, Stuart." "How many years in that crummy little box?" "18?" "19?" "A lot of stuff." "I'm so glad to be out of there." "Place was like a pressure cooker." "The old-fashioned kind, blows the beans all over the ceiling." "Flora around?" " No, she cleared out, went to the mall." " Shopping therapy." "Yeah, on my card." "Ask you a question?"

"Faster!" "Who exactly is in that hearse?" "My friend." "She's only 19." "Now she's in danger." "Why are we talking about dry old books?" "This is much more important." " Driver, be swift!" "The chase is on!" " Attaboy, Charlie." " Nobody calls me Charlie." " The ladies do." " How do you know?" " I'm your..." "Number one fan." "Yes." " What are we going to do with her?" " I don't know." "I didn't plan any of this." "It isn't my fault if the dead won't stay dead." "Then whose fault is it, sir?" "Why is this happening to us?" "I did the bishop a favour once - made his nephew look like a cherub though he'd been a fortnight in the weir." "Perhaps he'll do us an exorcism on the cheap." "Say I'm not in." "Just get rid of them." " We're closed." " Nonsense." "Undertakers don't keep office hours." "The dead don't die on schedule." " I demand to see your master." " He's not in." "Don't lie to me, child!" "Summon him." "I'm sorry, Mr Dickens, but the master's indisposed." " Having trouble with your gas?" " What the Shakespeare is going on?" "Are you all right?" "You're kidding me, yeah?" "You are kidding me, aren't you?" "OK." "No kidding." " You're not allowed in, sir." " There's something in the walls." "The gas pipes." "Something's living inside the gas." "Let me out!" "Open the door!" " That's her." " Please let me out!" " How dare you, sir?" "This is my house!" " Shut up!" "I told you..." "Let me out!" "Somebody open the door!" "Open the door!" "I think this is my dance." "It's a prank." "We're under some mesmeric influence." " No." "The dead are walking." "Hi." " Hi." "Who's your friend?" " Charles Dickens." " OK." "I'm the Doctor." "Who are you?" " Failing." " Open the rift." "We're dying." "Trapped in this form." "Cannot sustain." "Help us." "First you drug me, then you kidnap me - and I felt your hands having a quick wander!" " I won't be spoken to like this!" " You put me in a room full of zombies!" " You swan off and leave me to die!" " It's not my fault!" "It's this house." "It always had a reputation." "Haunted." "I never had much bother until three months back." "Then the stiffs..." "The... dear departed..." "started getting restless." " Tommy-rot!" " You witnessed it." "Can't keep the beggars down, sir." "They walk." "The queerest thing, they hang on to scraps..." "Two sugars, sir." "How you like it." "One old sexton almost went to his own memorial service." "Just like the old lady going to your performance, sir." " Morbid fancy." " Charles, you were there." " I saw nothing but an illusion." " If you're going to deny it, just shut up." " What about the gas?" " That's new, sir." "I've never seen that." "The rift's getting wider and something's getting through." " What's a rift?" " A weak point in time and space." "A connection with another place." "That's the cause of ghost stories." "That's how I got the house so cheap." "Stories going back generations." "Echoes in the dark, queer songs in the air and this feeling like a shadow passing over your soul." "It's been good for business." "What people expect from a gloomy old trade like mine." "Impossible." "Checking for strings?" "Wires, perhaps." "There must be some mechanism behind this fraud." "Oh, come on, Charles." "I shouldn't have told you to shut up." "I'm sorry." "You've got one of the best minds in the world." " You saw the gas creatures." " I cannot accept..." "What does the human body do when it decomposes?" "It produces gas." "Perfect home for these gas things." "They can use it as a vehicle." " Just like your coach." " Stop it." "Can it be that I have the world entirely wrong?" " Not wrong." "There's just more to learn." " I've always railed against the fantasist." "I've always loved an illusion, but that's exactly what they were - illusions." "The real world is something else." "I dedicated myself to that - injustices, the great social causes." "I hoped that I was a force for good." "Now you tell me that the real world is a realm of spectres and jack-o'-lanterns." "In which case, have I wasted my brief span here, Doctor?" "Has it all been for nothing?" " Miss, you shouldn't be helping." " Don't be daft." "Sneed works you to death." " How much do you get paid?" " Eight pound a year, miss." " How much?" " I know." "I would have been happy with six." " So did you even go to school or what?" " Of course I did." "What do you think I am, an urchin?" "I went every Sunday, nice and proper." " Once a week?" " We did sums and everything." " To be honest, I hated every second." " Me too." "Don't tell anyone, but one week..." "I didn't go and I runned on the heath on my own!" "I did plenty of that." "I used to go round the shops with my mate Shereen." " We used to go and look at boys." " I don't know much about that, miss." "Times haven't changed that much." "I bet you've done the same." " I don't think so, miss." " Gwyneth, you can tell me." "I bet you've got your eye on someone." "I suppose..." "There is one lad." "The butcher's boy." "He comes by every Tuesday." "Such a lovely smile on him." "I like a nice smile." "Good smile." "Nice bum." "Well, I've never heard the like!" "Ask him out." "Give him a cup of tea or something." "That's a start." "I swear it is the strangest thing, miss." "You've got the clothes and the breeding, but you talk like some sort of wild thing." "Maybe I am." "Maybe that's a good thing." "You need a bit more in your life than Mr Sneed." "That's not fair." "He's not so bad, old Sneed." "He was very kind to take me in." "I lost my mum and dad to the flu when I was 12." "I'm sorry." "Thank you, miss." "But I'll be with them again one day - sitting with them in paradise." "I shall be so blessed." "They're waiting for me." "Maybe your dad's up there waiting for you too, miss." "Maybe." "Um..." "Who told you he was dead?" "I don't know." "Must have been the Doctor." "My father died years back." "But you've been thinking about him lately." "I suppose so." "How do you know all this?" "Mr Sneed says I think too much." "I'm all alone down here." "I bet you've got dozens of servants, haven't you?" " No." "No servants where I'm from." " And you've come such a long way." "What makes you think so?" "You're from London." "I've seen London in drawings, but never like that." "All those people rushing about, half-naked." "For shame." "And the noise..." "And the metal boxes racing past." "And the birds in the sky..." "No, they're metal as well." "Metal birds with people in them." "People are flying." "And you've flown so far, further than anyone." "The things you've seen." "The darkness..." "The Big Bad Wolf." " I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, miss." " It's all right." "Ever since I was a little girl, my mam said I had the sight." "But it's getting stronger, more powerful?" "All the time, sir." "Every night... voices in my head." "You grew up on top of the rift." "You're part of it." "You're the key." "I've tried to make sense of it, sir." "Consulted with spiritualists, table rappers, all sorts." "That should help." "You can show us what to do." " What do to where, sir?" " We're going to have a seance." "This is how Madam Mortlock summons those from the Land of Mists." "Come..." " Join hands." " I can't take part." "Humbug?" "Come on." "Open mind." "This is precisely the sort of cheap mummery I strive to unmask." "Seances?" "Nothing but luminous tambourines and a squeeze-box concealed between the knees." " This girl knows nothing." " Don't antagonise her." " I love a happy medium." " I can't believe you said that." "Come on." "We might need you." "Good man." "Now, Gwyneth..." "Reach out." "Speak to us." "Are you there, spirits?" "Come." "Speak to us that we may relieve your burden." "Can you hear that?" " Nothing can happen." "This is sheer folly." " Look at her." "I see them." "I feel them." " What's it saying?" " It can't get through." "You're controlling it." "Look deep." "Allow them through." " I can't." " You can." "Just believe it." "I have faith in you, Gwyneth." "Make the link." "Yes." "Great God!" "Spirits from the other side." "The other side of the universe." " Pity us." " Pity the Gelth." "There is so little time." "Help us." " What do you want us to do?" " The rift." " Take the girl to the rift." "Make a bridge." " What for?" "We are so very few - the last of our kind." "We face extinction." "Why?" "What happened?" "We had a physical form like you, but then the war came..." "War?" "What war?" "The Time War." "The whole universe convulsed." "The Time War raged." "Invisible to smaller species, but devastating to higher forms." "Our bodies wasted away." "We're trapped in this gaseous state." "That's why you need the corpses." "We want to stand tall, to feel the sunlight, to live again." "We need a physical form and your dead are abandoned." " They go to waste." "Give them to us." " But we can't." " Why not?" " It's not..." "I mean, it's not..." "Not decent?" "It could save their lives." "Open the rift." "Let the Gelth through." "We're dying." "Help us." "Pity the Gelth." "Gwyneth?" "All true." "Are you OK?" "It's all true." "It's all right." "You just sleep." "But my angels, miss..." "They came, didn't they?" "They need me." " They do." "You're their only chance." " Leave her alone." "She's exhausted and she's not fighting your battles." "Drink this." "What did you say, Doctor?" "Explain it again." "What are they?" "Aliens." " Like foreigners?" " Pretty foreign, yeah." "From up there." " Brecon?" " Close." "They want to get from Brecon to Cardiff, but the road's blocked." "Only a few get through and they're weak." "They can only test-drive the bodies for so long, then they revert to gas." " Which is why they need the girl." " No." "But she can help." "She can open up the rift, make a bridge and let them through." "Incredible." "Ghosts that are not ghosts, but beings from another world, who can only exist in our world by inhabiting cadavers." "Good system." " You can't let them inside dead people." " Why not?" "It's recycling." " Seriously, you can't." " Seriously, I can!" "It's wrong." "Those bodies were living people." "We should respect them even in death." " Do you carry a donor card?" " It's different." "Yes, it's a different morality." "Get used to it or go home." "Time's short." "I can't worry about a few corpses when the Gelth could be dying." " I don't care." "They're not using her." " Don't I get a say, miss?" "Look... you don't understand what's going on." "You would say that, miss, because inside your head you think I'm stupid." " That's not fair." " It's true, though." "Things might be different where you're from, but here and now I know my own mind and the angels need me." " Doctor, what do I have to do?" " You don't have to do anything." "They've been singing to me since I was a child, sent by my mam on holy mission." " So tell me." " We need to find the rift." "This house is on a weak spot." "Mr Sneed, what's the weakest part of this house?" " The place where most ghosts are seen." " That would be the morgue." "Any chance you were going to say gazebo?" "Talk about Bleak House." "Doctor, the Gelth don't succeed." "I know they don't." "I know corpses weren't walking around in 1869." "Time's changing every second." "Your world can be rewritten like that." " Nothing is safe." "Remember that." "Nothing." " Doctor..." "I think the room is getting colder." "Here they come." "You've come to help." "Praise the Doctor!" "Praise him!" " Promise you won't hurt her." " Hurry." "So little time." "Pity the Gelth." "I'll take you somewhere else after." "Somewhere you can build bodies." "This isn't a permanent solution." "My angels." "I can help them live." " Where's the weak point?" " Here." "Beneath the arch." "Beneath the arch." " You don't have to do this." " My angels." "Establish the bridge out of the void, let us through." "Yes." "I can see you." "I can see you..." "Come." " Bridgehead establishing." " Come to this world, poor lost souls." "It is begun." "The bridge is made." " She has given herself to the Gelth." " There's rather a lot of them." "The bridge is open." "We descend." "The Gelth will come through in force." "You said you were few in number." "A few billion." "And all of us in need of corpses." "Oh, Gwyneth..." "Stop this!" "Listen to your master." "This has gone far enough." "Stop dabbling, child, and leave these things alone, I beg of you." "Mr Sneed!" " I think it's gone a little bit wrong." " I have joined the legions of the Gelth." "Come." "March with us." "No..." "We need bodies." "All of you... dead." "The human race... dead." "Gwyneth, send them back!" "Three more bodies." "Make them vessels for the Gelth." "Doctor, I can't..." "Sorry." "This new world of yours is too much for me." "I'm so..." "Give yourself to glory." "Sacrifice your lives to the Gelth." " I trusted you." "I pitied you." " We don't want your pity!" " We want this world and all its flesh!" " Not while I'm alive." "Then live no more." "But I can't die." "Tell me I can't." "I haven't even been born yet." "It's impossible for me to die." "Isn't it?" "I'm sorry." "Failing." "Atmosphere hostile." "Gas..." "Gas!" "But it's 1869." "How can I die now?" "Time isn't a straight line." "It can twist into any shape." "You can be born in the 20th century and die in the 19th and it's my fault." "I brought you here." "It's not your fault." "I wanted to come." "What about me?" "I saw the fall of Troy, World War Five." "I pushed boxes at the Boston Tea Party." "Now I'm going to die in a dungeon... in Cardiff!" "It's not just dying..." "We're going to become one of them." " We'll go down fighting, yeah?" " Yeah." " Together?" " Yeah." "I'm so glad I met you." "Me too." "Doctor!" "Doctor!" "Turn off the flame, turn up the gas!" " Fill the room now!" " What are you doing?" "Turn it all on." "Flood the place!" " Brilliant." "Gas." " So we choke to death instead?" "Am I correct, Doctor?" "These creatures are gaseous." "Fill the room with gas, it'll draw them out of the host - like poison from a wound." "I hope..." "Oh, Lord." "I hope that this theory will be validated soon... if not immediately." "Plenty more!" "It's working." "Gwyneth!" "Send them back!" "They lied." "They're not angels." " Liars?" " Look at me." "If your mother and father could see this, they'd tell you the same." "They'd give you strength." "Send them back." " I can't breathe." " Charles, get her out." " I'm not leaving her!" " They're too strong." "Remember Rose's world?" "None of it will exist unless you send them back through the rift." "I can't send them back." "But I can hold them." "Hold them in this place, hold them here." "Get out." " You can't!" " Leave this place!" "Get out!" "I won't leave her while she's in danger." "Leave that to me." "This way." "I'm sorry." "Thank you." " She didn't make it." " I'm sorry." "She closed the rift." "At such a cost." "The poor child." "I did try, but Gwyneth was already dead." " She had been for at least five minutes." " What do you mean?" "She was dead when she stood in that arch." "But she can't have..." "She spoke to us." "She helped us." "She saved us." "How could she have done that?" ""There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy."" "Even for you, Doctor." "She saved the world." "A servant girl." "No one will ever know." "Right, then, Charlie boy." "I've just got to go into my... shed." " Won't be long." " What are you going to do now?" "I shall take the mail coach back to London, post-haste." "This is no time for me to be on my own." "I shall spend Christmas with my family and make amends to them." "After all I've learned tonight, there can be nothing more vital." " You've cheered up." " Exceedingly." "I thought I knew everything in the world." "Now I know I've just started." "All these huge and wonderful notions." "I'm inspired." "I must write about them." " Do you think that's wise?" " I shall be subtle... at first." ""The Mystery Of Edwin Drood" still lacks an ending." "Perhaps the killer was not the boy's uncle." "Perhaps he was not of this earth." ""The Mystery Of Edwin Drood And The Blue Elementals"." "I can spread the word, the truth." "Good luck with it." "Nice to meet you." "Fantastic." "Bye, then." "And thanks."

"Clear!" "Clear the frame!" "Lila!" "Cut!" "Cut!" "Lila!" "Bela, what is it?" "There's no one in frame." "Something is in here." "I saw it." "Bela." "Bela, what is it?" "Yeah." "Uh, hold up." ""Olt sees the Mulli. "" "God, this is good." "What's up?" "On my way." "Sorry to call, Marcus." "You're supposed to let the doctors know when your temperature gets like this, Claire." "You know that." "Chemo could send you into septic shock." "I hate that." "It sounds like a human toilet." "You weren't sleeping, were you?" "It's still haunting you." "I should be there with you." "No." "Claire, you can't be there." "It's impossible." "Somebody's gonna be happy to see me." "What are you doin' here?" "I'll call you when I land." "Guilt, right?" "You had your chance, and you blew it." "Or your life's just too much to deal with, huh, Marcus?" "Stick with running' away." "You do that just fine." "Don't listen, Marcus." "You can mess with my sister's head and bullshit people about your visions or whatever they are, but you're not special, you're just sick." "There ain't gonna be any comeback for you, Marcus, this time or any time." "Marcus, just go." "Run away, Marcus!" "Romania or wherever the hell you're goin' this time." "But do not come here when you get back 'cause I'm changing addresses, you got it?" "Marcus, just tell him." "It's my fault." "Claire, stop it." "No, you don't have to defend me and take the blame." "I was the one who gave up on us." "Claire!" "Just leave it." "You better get used to it." "Some directors are self-delusional." "Marcus is just delusional, period." "Hey, Marcus." "Yo." "Wake up." "Huh?" "Where are we?" "Oh, roughly about 6,000 bucks over budget in your line item." "Geographically, Josh." "We are in "villoge" soon, Mr. Marcus." "Village, Grigore." "Village." "Grigore, please, call me Marcus." "I'm not sure he wants to call you anything after your little schizotypal display." "Josh, you ever consider maybe I really do have apparitional experiences?" "No." "Welcome." "Is famous." "Man who become rich making Kashkaval." "Famous Romanian cheese, he build." "Well, this is it." "I'm banking on that demented mind of yours, so, don't screw this up." "I can't." "I'm doing it for Claire." "And it's... it's none of my business, but, uh..." "She did leave you before she got ill." "Maybe you should just let all that go." "Yeah?" "Mr. Petri?" "Mr. Petri?" "Do I take it in?" "Just leave it." "Take Marcus to the stage." "Now?" "But is dark." "Let's go take a look at the sets." "It's not good time to go now, Mr. Marcus." "Ugh." "Geez." "Is no good place, this place." "Why do you want to come here, Mr. Marcus?" "I wanna shoot in the same studio as Bela Olt's original film." "Why?" "Well, a long time ago," "I came across a production still of the old movie... the only production still as far as I know." "It stuck with me... the mood, the look." "This movie is never finished." "And no one ever see it, Mr. Marcus." "Is bad luck for these people." "Is bad luck here, for you, too." "What do you mean?" "Mr. Marcus, I tell Mr. Petri we must stay in Bucharest." "No film crew come here anymore." "It's late now." "We go back, yes?" "No." "Somebody's gotta be here." "The art department never sleeps." "Mr. Marcus!" "Mr. Marcus!" "Someone is here!" "There was man at gate." "Maybe the gatekeeper?" "You see?" "Crew's sleeping now." "No one is here, Mr. Marcus." "Set, it is good, no?" "You like?" "Sweet." "Is almost finished." "We go back now, yes?" "Hey, what is it, Mr. Marcus?" "What is wrong?" "Something." "Please, Mr. Marcus." "Where you go, Mr. Marcus?" "What is it?" "Mr. Marcus." "Mr. Marcus!" "Don't smell good." "Check that side." "Grigore!" "Mr. Marcus?" "Mr. Marcus, I am not feeling well." "I" " I think..." "TAMl:" "All right, people." "Let's settle." "Mag jam." "Oh!" "Whoa!" "Cut!" "Cut." "TAMl:" "Okay, that's a cut!" "Everybody back to one and we'll do it again." " Dude." " What?" "What is it?" "Sorry, the, uh, film was, uh, I don't know, jamming or some..." "I..." "I just saw..." "Davis?" "Juice?" "TAMl:" "Can we get some lights on down here, please?" "Okay." "Davis!" "I'm right here." "Eddie!" "Yo!" "Same deal." "Keeps kickin' off." " What does it mean?" " I don't know what to tell you." "There's some drain on the power comin' into this place or something." "How much time, Davis?" "TAMl:" "Where is she going?" "Can we please get somebody up there who knows what the hell he's doing?" "Davis, you gonna be able to fix this?" "You want steady current, you get locations to figure it out." "He's the genius who booked us into this toilet." "Mr. Davis, is old here, yes." "But please do not say toilet." "Studio is historic, very historic." "What are you, a booster for the Romanian Rotary Club?" "This dump was wired at the dawn of the electric light bulb." "Well, short of bringing in a new Jenny from Bucharest, which I can't afford to do, what would you like me to do to help you out?" "What, like rewire the whole joint?" "We already been up in that stinkin' hotbox, pre-riggin' this place till we're both sick, puking' our guts out." "I'm sorry we took this gig, Petri." "Your pay sucks, we're three wrong turns from nowhere, and Frankenstein's manservant here has got us lodging in an abandoned shithole that wouldn't pass for a crack whore's flop house." "You don't want to move, you don't wanna spend money..." "Deal with what we're dealing with here." "Okay." "Okay, well thanks for your professional technical opinion, Davis." "Igor... this is who you mean?" "What?" "Frankenstein... his assistant." "His name... it is Igor." "I am Grigore, not Igor." "Actually, his name... it is Fritz in first two movies." "Then it become Igor." "Keep this guy away from me, please." "Also he is Swiss, not Romanian." "Let's give these dipshits a reminder of who's upstairs with their hand on a plug." "You can't really say our film's a remake of Bela Olt's lost movie, because nobody's ever seen his version." "I was inspired by the same Gypsy folktale he tried to adapt." "He never finished his film, it seemed, so..." "I thought, you know, maybe somebody should." "Well, why don't you talk a little about the original story, the old legend?" "Well, it's like a lot of Gypsy stories about the Devil." "It starts with a beautiful young Gypsy girl, Chavi... a singer, a dancer." "She wants more than anything not to be an outcast, so she begs Beng, the Gypsy devil, to give her the most powerful husband in the land so she can escape the hardship of her life." "And Beng agrees, of course." "Yeah, but like most deals with the Devil, there's a price." "And in this case, he wants Chavi's firstborn daughter to take as his consort to mother his evil offspring." "So, a pact is made." "Beng puts the powerful lord under Chavi's spell." "From that doomed union, a child is born..." "Matya... hidden away in a garret until it's time to be the bride of Beng." "Hey man, just shut it down, all right?" "There's no steady current." "Unplug all the cables going into the distribution box, and we'll reconnect everything again." "Davis, can we get some house lights?" "Checking!" "Hey, I'm on it!" "Whoa!" "Oh, my God!" "Eddie?" "!" "It's three hours to Bucharest." "Not to worry, I bring you to hospital." "I can't believe this." "Grigore, you said something about this place the night we arrived, about Olt's crew having bad luck." "Is Mulli's revenge." "They say she killed them all..." "all the crew..." "like legend." "What?" "No one talk about it, Mr. Marcus." "I go to Bucharest now." "Next village have nothing, no one who can help." "Uh, hold up, hold up!" "Take this with you." "What, you want him to do a lab run?" "We're supposed to shut down?" "It's bad enough we lost a day." "Grigore, go to the emergency room first, then the lab." "Is that okay?" "A little cavalier, maybe." "TAMl:" "All right, guys, show's over." "Everybody get back inside." "You saw those guys." "My ass is on the line here." "I heard they felt sick from being up in the fly gallery." "I was up there with Grigore." "He got sick." "They were screwing around up there, and they're trying to screw us." "Look, Josh, something doesn't feel right." "No, stop right there." "Do you remember the last time something didn't feel right, and you felt all funny about that house in Maine?" "You wouldn't go inside and they had to shut the production down 'cause they couldn't reschedule the actors or extend the deals with the crew or the equipment." "Is that all coming back to you now?" "'Cause that marked your descent from first film "wunderkind"" "to second film "who gives a shit. "" "Look, I'm here." "I'm doing it." "Okay, don't get me wrong, because I want you to keep conjuring up all this weird shit that's in your head and putting it on film, but I want you to remember that it's just in your head." "You've never actually seen or touched or spoken to any of these apparitions, have you?" "Right." "See, because you just hallucinate them very, very vividly in these little episodes, or whatever they are." "And you're very, very lucky because this is the one business, the film business, where being a complete and total nut job actually has economic benefits." "So let's not piss in the punch here, okay?" "Stay focused." "And I may not be an expert in psychopharmacology, but I do know when it's time for you to take your medications." "Hey." "And let's get us back on track... tomorrow!" "Back on schedule!" "Excuse me, sir?" "Sorry." "Do you speak English?" "Uh, you work here?" "What you want?" "Uh, a maintenance person, I guess." "There's an odor in the fly gallery." "It's making people sick." "Dead rats, maybe." "Do you poison them?" "No one working here many years." "No one." "What do you do, then?" "I am waiting." "I am waiting long time." "For what?" "For someone like you to make film again here, of course." "Cut!" "All right, that's a cut." "Camera moved, everybody." "Can we get all hands on deck, please?" "We used a stand-in." "Can you bring Romy back?" "Yeah." "Let's get Romy touched up." "Last looks, please." "Make sure the Chavi costume doubles are standing by for the Matya birthing scene." "I'm not gettin' enough spill from those overheads." "You need to get her in closer to the edge of the grid, understand?" "Dude, she is into you." "I'm zeroing in on another target." "Crina, assistant wardrobe." "How do you say, "What can I do to get you to make all my sexual desires come true," in Romanian?" "I think that'd be, "green card. "" "Dude, that might actually work!" "Hey, Mr. Marcus." " Good night." "See you tomorrow." "What?" "What's going on?" "Looks like footage from '20s... '30s perhaps." "Possibly the lab is restoring it, got it mixed up with yours." "Mnh-mnh." "The images look composited, like it was done in camera, like the film stock was previously exposed, or something." "Heard of shooting short ends to save money, but not 80-year-old short ends." "That film stock's brand new." "I'm not that cheap, for Christ's sake." "Guys, that's Lila Kis playing Chavi." "This is Bella Olt's film... the original film." "It's been lost for 80 years, but suddenly, there's a piece of it in our dailies." "Look, whatever it is, it's a lab screw up and nothing more pretentious than that." "Wadim, transmit the footage to L.A., and send them an e-mail and give them a heads up so they don't think Marcus has gone flaky on them." "We should cut this anyway." "It never went anywhere." "It's the only shot that actually has a reference to Olt's movie." "It means something." "Look, neither you, nor anybody else knows what this scene means taken out of context from a film that no one's ever seen." "Anybody under 100 who's off resuscitation won't even get that it's a reference to Olt's lost movie." "Just cut it, like I said." "I'll call the lab on this." "We'll get another print of the neg." "They can have it here tomorrow." "None of these should be on there." "You should be all right." "Look, man." "I don't wanna sound like some psycho Hollywood scientologist or something, but whatever caused that shot... it ain't got nothing to do with the mag jamming, like I said." "It's some freak thing, man." "It's like..." "It's like one time I actually had a hand, right, a palm, show up in the middle of a shot." "Exterior wide of a field, right?" "Daytime... nobody in it." "And then this freakin' palm shows up, out of nowhere, right in the middle of the frame when we print." "It's a warning." "What do you mean?" "What do you mean?" "Like..." "Like... halt?" "Slow for seniors?" "You ever hear of residual haunting?" "Uh, nope." "But if it's anything like a residuals check, it doesn't exist." "Think of it like a photo imprint from the past." "Traumatic events release energy." "That energy gets stored into materials like film or tape." "Stone, metal, slate." "They all absorb emotional imprints." "There are even people who do... supposedly." "So, you..." "Sorry, I just gotta..." "I gotta get this processed." "Uh, you think that, um... that, uh, emotional events from the past are on automatic rewind all around us, and we filmed one." "Dude, that's retarded." "I'm sorry." "You can't really believe that." "Not unless you also believe in fairy tales, like, uh, I don't know... like, net profits." "I believe it." "I believe it, 'cause it's better than the alternative." "And what's that?" "That it's not just the harmless imprint of somebody's misery from long ago, but something that can come through here, into the present." "You're a head case, dude." "For real." "Exceeding all my expectations, awesome." "Excellent." "Are you all right?" "You were shouting." "Could you come in?" "They say I've got a disorder." "I exhibit eccentric behavior and unconventional ideas." "And I have an unfounded belief that I have extrasensory abilities." "That could apply to every member of the Director's Guild..." "I know... by the way." "You see things?" "Such as?" "Let's say someone died under emotional circumstances." "My subconscious kind of pieces the event back together." "I see it, hear it, feel it... like I'm there." "And here... what do you see here?" "Do you feel threatened by something?" "No, these things never breach our world." "They never touch us." "Now, they may be anguished and run us out of a house by their presence." "Or they may just always wanna be there for us, to watch over us, to make amends for some past mistake." "No... no danger." "Just, there are times... when I see things I really don't wanna see." "I want you to know something." "I saw you interviewed on the DVD of your film." "You seemed strong, powerful." "I wanted to work with you, to meet you." "I thought it would change my life." "Claire?" "You there?" "Hope you're not changing the address, like Garret said." "Look." "I know this is why you broke up with me." "But I need to talk to you." "I'm having them again." "Strong ones." "A lot, but different." "There's, like, not just visions, but..." "I'm a part of what I'm seeing." "I'm worried... about everyone." "Fight!" "Yeah, I'll call you right back." "Hey!" "Hey, you guys, stop!" "Hey!" "Aah!" " Where'd you get that?" " You pull a weapon on my set?" "Look, something's wrong here." "Nobody pulls a weapon on my set!" "You're gone, man." "They know." "They know what's goin' on!" "I heard about you, Reed." "I had friends on that show you shut down in Maine." "You're wacked, man!" "You're mental as hell!" "You're the one bringing this shit out!" "Hey, you shut up, Davis!" "You don't know what you're talkin' about!" "Did you see what happened to Eddie?" "You know, what are you doin' this for, man, huh?" "For this?" "For a movie?" "I'm gonna shut your ass down!" "Okay, you've lost your mind!" "Now you get outta here!" "I mean it!" "Get off my set!" "You go see the office." "They'll pay you and arrange your flight home." "Now get out of here!" "Go!" "What the hell is everybody standing' around here for, huh?" "Get back to work." "Come on." "This is over." "Let's make some filmed entertainment." "Everybody, go on." "Back to work." "Anca, that does not make the B-roll." "I want that take." "Okay, whatever you say, Josh." "As always." "TAMl:" "Yeah, can one of my A.D.s..." "if anyone's on walkie... go to the office and let production services and pre-dress know that we're two guys down and we need help?" "Hello?" "Ugh." "You okay?" "Thanks." "Tami, I wanna add a pickup for today." "What pickup?" "The scene from day one..." "I wanna reshoot it." "I don't know, Marcus." "We're already pretty tight." " Josh." " What's up?" "He wants to reshoot the scene from yesterday." "You know." "I told you to cut that." "Anyway, Peter tells me Wadim's ordered a reprint, so... let's check and see if the new print's clean or not before we talk about reshoots." "No, I want to shoot it different, from up there." "She's looking up in the original." "She's looking right in the camera." "You want me to move the camera up there?" "No, Peter, hold up." "Look, you want me to be inspired by things, right?" "So I'm telling you I'm feeling something about this shot and I wanna put that on screen, okay, Josh?" "Okay." "Something good?" "Something weird?" "The money shot?" "Let's move the freakin' camera, people." "Get him off!" "Listen to me!" "Everybody!" "They're not tellin' you the truth." "This guy... this guy's psychic." "He's attracted to places like this where bad shit happens." "That's why nobody's worked here for 80 years!" "Oh, my God!" "Get a medic!" "Call a medic!" "TAMl:" "We need a medic onset!" "Medic!" "Where's the Medic?" "TAMl:" "Where's the medic?" "Oh, God!" "Hey!" "Marcus!" "Marcus!" "Marcus, get back down from there!" "Come on!" "Come down!" "Just maybe, somebody, some young girl like Matya really existed at one point, and bad things happened to her." "If so, she was a victim of superstition because of this caul thing, not because of some deal with the Devil." "That's folktale nonsense." "You told me you could control yourself." "You call jousting at curtains with a scimitar control?" "I can't do this." "No." "Hold on." "You said places like this were rich in sensation for you." "Inspirational, you said." "You wanted this job, you needed it." "It was a second chance." "Those are your words." "You're willing to step back into whatever psychopathic nightmare you live in in order to create another scary movie... a commercially scary movie, like your first movie." "And I put the money together based on that agreement." "There's something on the stage." "Listen to me." "You have weird dreams." "And you are a freak, yes." "But you are not Haley Joel Osment." "People probably died here." "Yeah, people have died everywhere." "A guy died in the co-op I bought." "Does that mean he's gonna come in one morning when I'm on the crapper casting a bronze and drop a weight on my head?" "Does it?" "I have a responsibility." "Yeah, to the investors!" "Look." "I know you've been through a lot... with the other movie..." "and with Claire... with your... your condition." "I" " I'm just askin' you to keep it together, please." "Please, I'm beggin' you." "This is my baby." "It's all up here, Marcus." "It's not out there." "Find the location." "Ah, Mr. Davis, is good location for you." "Mr. Davis?" "Help!" "Hello?" "Help!" "Hello?" "!" "Help!" "Help!" "Hello?" "!" "Help!" "Open the door!" "We want to be paid!" "This film is finished!" "The film is not finished." "What happened on this other film Davis talk about?" "We want to know!" "Okay, okay." "I wanna tell you everything." "And I can assure you that once you hear it, you'll be in complete sympathy with Marcus, and you'll wanna help..." "Okay." "Okay, okay." "Listen." "The first thing I wanna say is, everyone who stays on will get a bump in their pay." "No." "No." "Okay." "Wadim?" "Wadim?" "You get the print?" "Peter!" " Shit!" " What?" "Tami, you snuck up on me." "Sorry, I was just looking for Wadim." "Um, Josh is asking about the new dailies print." "Just saw it." "Nothin' on it." "None of that schmutz is on the neg?" "Well, you want my opinion?" "Ask for a new print." "Because, this one ends right where the problem is." "It's like the lab didn't want us to see it, or something." "So, uh, okay." "I'll be sure to him." "He loves paranoid overreactions to possible slights and conspiracies." " Hey, Tami?" " What?" "Listen." "All this shit that's going down about Marcus..." "Straight up, okay, I heard about him, too." "And I heard that Josh paid some people off on that show to clam up about what happened so that none of us would hear about it." "So, I'm wondering..." "What?" "If... if he's gonna pay you to clam up, too?" "No." "Why would Josh do that?" "Why does he wanna hide stuff?" "Why would he pay people to lie?" "'Cause he's a producer." "Let me know if you reach Wadim." "Wadim, Wadim, Wadim, Wadim." "Get off my set!" "Hey, relax." "I'm doing my job." "Go!" "Bela, what is wrong?" "You seem threatened by something." "There's something unstable." "Do you hear me?" "Stay away from me!" "What do you want from me?" "You must..." "you must go back to work." "Finish this film." "That is what we came here to do." "And you..." "I want to help you." "I've seen you before." "Marcus." "Marcus." "Marcus." "You were shouting again." "I came in." "It was like you were sleepwalking." "What?" "I found these." "They are for your disorder." "You must take them." "No." "No, I can't." "It takes everything away." "I" " I-I can't sense anything." "But this is good, Marcus." "The crew have voted to return to work." "You must take the pills and finish the film, yes?" "Oh." "Marcus, I want to help you." "Look at me." "Take the pills." "It's time." "We must finish it." "That is what we came here to do." "Oh, Marcus." "TAMl:" "Quiet on set, please." "We're rolling." "And action." "Marcus?" "Cut!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Marcus." "Look out!" "Whoa, where's Romy?" "Where's Romy?" " Have you seen Romy?" " Get off me!" "Romy!" " Say, Tami, have you..." " Get away from me!" "Aah!" "Hey, Peter!" "Stop it!" "Marcus, you get inside!" "Marcus!" "Marcus, where are you going?" "I'm gonna stop this." "Marcus, come on." "Come back." "Get inside." "No!" " Mama!" " Matya!" "Stop!" "Soon she is reborn." "Then mother and child, that they cry no more." "Who are you?" "But this, I tell you already." "I am waiting." "All the years, I keep seed waiting... waiting for someone like you to plant again." "What do you want from me?" "!" "Just take it, Mr. Reed... the seed." "You have the blade." "That is why you have the blade." "Take it." "Take it." "Take it." "Yes!" "Yes!" "No!" "Ugh!" "It is yours now." "It is in you." "Plant it well for me." "I want my girl." "Do you hear?" "I want my girl!" "I must have her!" "Where are you?" "No!" "Aah!" "I know what they did to you." "Matya." "Marcus." "I promised him." "I promised I would carry his child and raise it to be his." "I chose you, Marcus." "Please." "Whatever we want, it is ours." "I beg you." "Marcus, I chose you." "All we must do is have his child." "He just wants his child." "He just wants his child." "Give him his child and nothing will happen to you." "Marcus!" "Marcus, no!" "You can stop her!" "Put her out of her pain!" "You can give her life again, Marcus!" "I beg you!" "Marcus!" "Please come down!" "Marcus!" "Claire!" "I told you not to come." "I told you." "No, Marcus, I told you." "Marcus." "What?" "Who are you talkin' to?" "Claire." "Marcus, Claire's dead." "Claire died months ago." "It's the reason you wanted to come back to work." "To get your life back, remember?" "It's a second chance." "No!" "I should be there with you." "No." "Claire, you can't be there." "It's impossible." "What are you doin' here?" "I'll call you when I land." "I didn't do a good job looking after you." "I'm gonna make amends from now on." "You can mess with my sister's head." "You can bullshit people with your visions or whatever the hell they are, but you're not special, you're just sick!" "It's my fault." "Marcus, just go." "Claire, stop it." "Marcus, you're seeing things again." "You need to talk to somebody." "Hey, hey." "Take it easy." "No!" "Marcus!" " Don't hurt him." "Romy." "Romy, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "He's... he's not well." "It'll be okay." "I'll get this film back on track." "I'll get it made." "I'll make sure of it." "You'll see." "Marcus, you can stop her!" "Put her out of her pain!" "You can give her life again, Marcus!" "I beg you!" "Marcus, you can stop her!" "Put her out of her pain!" "You can give her life again, Marcus!" "I beg you!" "Claire." "Pleasure to meet you, Romy." "Can you tell us where you're from, please?" "I am from Moldova." "Oh." "How did you hear about us?" "I am here in Bucharest, auditioning." "I heard about your movie." "Okay, great." "Uh, how tall are you?" "I am almost 1.8 meters." "That's in, uh, U.S...?" "5'11."" "Oh." "Would you mind slating your name for the camera, please?" "Just look directly into camera." "Romy Bardoc." "Thank you." "Please also just say which role you're reading for." "I am auditioning for Chavi." "I would like to play this part." "Okay." "Go ahead." "Perhaps you're upset because you've lost her." "And that makes her even dearer to you." "But I've lost people, too." "Josh." "And I can't bear to go through this again." "Please, understand." "You can't let the past keep holding you back from what lies ahead in the future." "I want you to know something." "I saw you interviewed." "But when I first saw you, you seemed strong... powerful even, if I may say so." "And I wanted to meet you." "I thought, I hoped, that you would change my life." "I chose you."

"J.D.:" "There's nothing worse than running into a sworn enemy first thing in the morning." "Well, if that's the case, Fred, just put him on blood thinners." "Excuse me, Perry." "You don't have a phone." "You're just holding your hand to your ear." "Fred, I got to go." "He's gonna make me talk to him." "Sure, I'll pass it on." "Fred says you are a tool." "I got nothing." "That's a good one." "Thank you." "Still no Chief of Medicine, huh?" "You must love not having anybody around to make you toe the line." "It's pretty much a captain-less ship around here." "People showing up late, stealing supplies." "Basically doing whatever the hell they want." "Okay, as you can see, we've repaired the perforation." "Now all that's left to do is sew up the surrounding muscle tissue." "Are there any questions?" " I don't think you're doing this right." " Get out of here." " All right." "Let me just touch his heart." " Hey!" "Bottom line, if we don't get a new boss in this place soon, it'll fall apart." "I'd pretend to care, but I don't have to." " Here's my office." " Okay, fine, you go ahead and have fun spending your golden years at a depressing coffee chain, surrounded by..." "I don't mean to cut you off, Perry." "But I have to take this call." "Look at that, he brought it back." "Doctor." "Oh, now that can't be good." "J.D.:" "I was still trying to get my intern Jo to be more sensitive with her patients." "Don't worry, Mr. Hapburn." "A lot of people are afraid of needles." "I was only surprised because you're the first one I've come across that doesn't have a vagina." "Did you know that guy was a priest?" "I did." "I'll see you tomorrow." "If you're not here, I'll just assume that demons dragged you down to Hell to chew your face off." "J.D.:" "Now that I was dating Elliot again," "I finally had something to get home to." " Hey." " Hi." "Why did you put my piano mat here?" "I was here all by myself and I got a little freaked out, so I thought I'd use that as a burglar alarm." "That's catchy." "Cookies are done." "I baked a dozen for you and a dozen for me." "Now, I like to eat one and a half cookies every day so that a dozen cookies lasts eight days." "Well, 10 days because I don't eat sugar on Wednesdays, and on Sundays I call my mom, and she asks what's wrong with my phone because I sound fat." "Anyway, I'm gonna go change." "I brought my cookie pants." "Notice the loose waist to accommodate an expanding stomach." "I finished my dozen." "Why would you eat all of your cookies at once?" "I mean, what did you think was gonna happen to them?" "Come to daddy." "Still pretty smoky." "Worth it." "So, he'd kill us?" "I told Turk you were making cookies." "Plus he has a key to my place and Carla's out of town." "Elliot, with his diabetes, it's the only time he gets to eat sweets." "I'm dating an idiot." "Yeah, but you knew what you were getting into." "J.D., someone's in the house." "Turk, get out of here!" "Pull that piano crap on me." "Please." "I can't do this all on my own" "No, I know" "I'm no Superman" "I'm no Superman" "Morning, sleepy." "I got to go to work." "I wish I had the day off, too." "Hey, do you realize that we've already been dating for a week, but we still haven't had sex?" "Yes, but you know what?" "We're not gonna rush this time." "We're just gonna go with the flow." "I think we should do it right now." "J. D?" "Why are you throwing your pants at me?" "Because I got excited." "Woohoo!" "Well, you should be." "Because tonight when you get home, I'm going to be waiting here, and it's gonna be the most amazing, crazy night you've ever had." " Stop throwing dirty clothes at me!" " Stop saying sexy things." "Can't wait for tonight." " I really wish I hadn't done that." " Yeah, me, too." "J.D.:" "Mr. Lawton, one of my favorite patients, was back." "Unfortunately, Jo was his intern." " Hi." " How's it going over here?" "Well, young Dr. Mahoney was just observing that my heart disease was..." " What was that, sweetheart?" " A giant buzzkill." " Jo..." " What?" "I was on cloud nine this morning." "Had a good night's sleep, hot shower, big old pancake breakfast, then bang." "Chronic heart disease." "Buzzkill." "Well, I'm sure Mr. Lawton feels horrible that his condition annoyed you." " I doubt it." " She doubts it." "Okay, well, other than the abdominal discomfort, everything okay, sir?" "Well, I'd feel better if this bed were a little more comfortable." "Here." "Lean up." "Lean up." "Thank you." "And I'm sorry if I ruined your day." " Yeah, we're cool." " Apparently, you guys are cool." "Yeah." "Sure, I can come in then." "Thank you." "That was just the Board." "They're offering me the Chief of Medicine job." " Shut up!" " Yeah." "Do you know what this means?" "That when I ask our nanny how she manages to raise her own kid without a nanny," "I can hire a second nanny to listen to her boring answer." "Perry, look at yourself." "You don't get in your own way anymore." "Sweetie, I am so, so proud of you." "Thank you." "I'm feeling so open and vulnerable that it's literally filling me up with rage and hatred, so I should go." " Fair enough." "All right." " Okay." "Say, I heard you and Barbie were back together again." "How's that going?" "J.D.:" "He doesn't care." "Don't answer." "Is there less drama this time?" "Hold firm." "Does it feel different?" "Give him nothing." "Look at you not getting sucked in." "Maybe you are a little bit older and a little bit wiser, enough for this whole thing to work out with Barbie this time." " I really think I am..." " Oh, my God." "How do you not get that I will never, ever care about your pasty, white love life?" "I only brought it up because I noticed that Barbie wasn't here at work today, and I was hoping that your relationship with her had already gone so far south that you'd killed her and buried her deep in a wooded area," "and that soon you would be carted off for the aforementioned crime of pasty, white passion." "Well, no such luck." "She's just at home." "Carla, why won't you pick up?" "I need to talk!" "I cannot believe that you leave the country the week I get back together with J.D." "I feel like that's not a coincidence." "Wait." "I didn't mean that." "I know that your aunt did not fall out of that balloon on purpose." "Anyway, I promised J.D. This crazy sex night, and now I'm totally losing it." "I've been trying on lingerie, but nothing fits because I ate an entire batch of cookie dough last night with a spatula." "Plus, at my last appointment, I got in a fight with my waxer, and now there is a rash on my bajingo that looks like a thousand tiny spider bites." "Damn it, Carla, I need tonight to be special and you're not there for me, and I know what you're gonna say is that..." "You're gonna say that you've always come through and that sometimes I'm selfish, but even if that's true," "I don't need to hear your attitude right now because I am sick of it." "Do you hear me?" "Sick of it!" "I love you." "Call me." "What can I say?" "I just wish you were at home with her." " You and me both." " That was an insult." "I know." "I thought if I took it as a compliment, it would drive you insane and you'd go away." " Damn it!" " Hey, J.D." "Because of the abdominal discomfort," "I was thinking of ordering an endoscopy on Mr. Lawton." "Yeah?" "No, no, he had the same symptoms before." "It turned out it was just heartburn." "An endoscopy's a really painful, invasive procedure." "Who gives a crap?" "I don't know, Jo." "I think I do." " Probably sounds crazy to you?" " Not crazy, just a little weird." "Okay, no more sugarcoating." "All right?" "You will never be a good doctor until you learn what it means to truly care for your patients." "And if I don't start seeing some changes soon, you're gonna be out on your ass." "All right?" "There's your buzzkill." "Go back to work." "J.D.:" "Careful." "Keep your bad-ass doctor stare going in case she looks back." "Nailed it." "Bob, what are you doing up here?" "Are you sick?" "No, I'm just taking a stroll." "But thanks for your concern." "I'm not concerned." "I meant to sound hopeful." "Let me try it again." "Are you sick?" "Perry, why are you hating this morning?" "I just came up here because I heard the Board offered you the Chief of Medicine." " They did." "It's a great opportunity." " It certainly is." "The minute I took that job, everything got bigger." "My office, my staff, my secretary's hooters." "They were a Christmas bonus." "For both of us." "Still, I took the job to improve patient care, but you spend most of your time dealing with bureaucratic garbage." "And what with the budget meetings and addressing staff and patient complaints, you barely have time for a life." "And what is your reward?" "Everybody in the hospital hates you." "Yay!" "Anyway, Chief, congrats again." "Hey, with Carla and Izzy out of town, must be nice to have the place to yourself for once, huh?" "Dude, I can't answer that." "How many people here are spies and are ordered to report everything I say back to Carla?" "I should go." "I love my wife and I wanna be by her side at all times!" "All times!" "You heard that, Rochelle?" "Psst!" "Turk, come here." " Elliot, are you sick?" " No, I just don't have makeup on." "You look pretty." " Turk, I need some help with J.D." " Okay." "You guys are back together." "I get that, it's great." "You're a fit." "I just don't wanna get caught in the middle again." "Well, you should've thought of that before you jacked all my cookies." "You're in." " Stupid sweet tooth!" " Okay." "Dr. Reid, when did you become homeless?" " These are just my cookie pants." " These are my muffin slacks." "Bam!" "I've been rocking these bad boys since the day I retired." "Huh." " Where's Mr. Lawton?" " He's getting an endoscopy." "Jo, please tell me you didn't order that procedure even though I told you not to." "Well, I did, so that kind of puts me in a pickle." "Okay, I am so angry right now," "I don't even know what to say." "You got to give me a second." "J.D.:" "I knew exactly what to say, but the longer I waited, the more I knew it would make her squirm." "See, there's a lot of things that can leave someone speechless." "How'd the meeting go, Chief?" "Is it official?" "J.D.:" "It can be an answer you don't expect." "I didn't go." "I don't want the job." "Just tell me this one thing and then I'll leave you alone." "J.D.:" "Or a question you wish you didn't know the answer to." "If you had to come up with the ultimate sexual experience for J.D., what would it be?" "J.D.:" "For Jo, it was just gonna be a good, old-fashioned verbal beat-down." "I don't know who you think you are, but I promise you, you are gonna regret this mistake for the rest of your..." "Sorry to interrupt." "Great call ordering that endoscopy, Dr. Mahoney." "Mr. Lawton has stomach cancer." "J.D.:" "Yep." "Speechless." "J.D.:" "Time to make things right." "Jo, I'm sorry." "I thought you were being callous with Mr. Lawton, and you were just being thorough." "God, I'm a good apologizer." "From now on, I'm gonna stop riding you and let Jo be Jo." "Sound good?" "No." "Sounds great." "Why would you apologize?" "What the hell is your problem?" "Reminds me of what my grandpa taught me when I was a boy." "He said, "Janitor, every time an angry woman storms out," ""another angry woman storms in."" "What?" "Get out of my way!" "That one's for you, Pop-Pop." "He's not dead." "He's upstairs." "Dying." "Excuse me." "Dr. Kelso, isn't it?" "I'm Jordan Sullivan." "What are you doing?" "I'm introducing myself." "Because, clearly, anyone who would convince Perry not to take the Chief job has never met me." "That pansy-assed little tattletale." "Bob, so help me God, you fix this, or I will grab you by your muffin top and stomp on your withering man-parts until your eyes pop out." "Twenty years ago I would have thrown you on this table and made love to you right here." "And I would have loved it!" "See, that is the kind of passion that I want tonight with J.D., but we've hooked up so much in the past," "I can't come up with anything new." "Ooh!" "What if I dripped hot candle wax on his chest?" "No." "Tina Two-Kids tried it and burned off his treasure trail." "Okay, okay." "Let's just keep spit-balling." "What if I strangle him a little?" "No." "J.D. Might like the idea of that, but if he loses too much oxygen he'll get dizzy, and then his Space Needle will become his space noodle." " How do you even know that?" " Elliot, I just do." "Matter of fact, I don't want to talk about this anymore, all right?" "I'm out." "Angry woman out." "Damn it!" "Angry woman in." "You better not be making me one of your stupid Janitor jokes." "No, ma'am." "Angry woman out." "Hey, I'm glad I found you." "I need your approval to cut down some lollipop trees" " outside the Sea-Monkey hut." " What are you talking about?" "These decisions have to go through you because you're the Mayor of Crazytown." "Okay, I really don't need this right now." "Okay, fine, but you're supposed to be working, so would you mind checking the patient in bed six for dementia?" "This is bed six." "I know." "I think you're crazy." "It was a two-fer." "Pow-pow." "You're aware I could kick your ass, right?" "I'm sure I'd get in some slaps." "Look, I know I'm horrible with patients." "But I make one lucky call with Mr. Lawton's endoscopy and now you're not gonna push me anymore to be better?" "Okay, you're not the Mayor of Crazytown, you're the Emperor." "At least when you gave me crap I knew you were trying to help." "But now you're just giving up on me?" "What do you care?" "You don't even listen to me." "What?" "I've been busting my ass trying to be more caring with the patients." "Remember when Mr. Lawton was uncomfortable?" "Thank you, doctor." " That must have been so hard for you." " Yeah, I'm still mad thinking about it." " What's with the yarn?" " I'm gonna use it later." "Oh, by the way, Jordan thinks I'm hot." "Yeah, she mentioned that before." "It's disturbing." "Why aren't you taking the job, Perry?" "You said it was a bureaucratic nightmare." " And I don't want to be miserable." " You love being miserable." " I don't want everyone to hate me." " Everybody already hates you." "You wanna know the real reason why you don't want the gig, champ?" " Because you're a fraidy-cat." " Beg your pardon?" "Didn't you hear me?" "Are fraidy-cat's ears too tiny?" " Don't push me, Bob." " You're right." "I'm sorry." "Would it make you feel any better to bat this around for a while?" "Yeah, I told you I was gonna use it later." "Do you know why I got into medicine?" "I assumed there was some sort of flyer outside football practice." "No." "Look, I don't care that I'm not that feminine." "I still look rocking hot when I'm naked so I can get it whenever I want it." " Okay, now that was feminine." " Shut up." "I became a doctor because I love the nuts and bolts of it all." "Like that woman over there?" "I am fascinated by the way her heart pumps blood through her body like a machine." "The way her axons are covered in a thin layer of myelin, like an insulated electrical wire." "But tell me to empathize with her, to be totally open and vulnerable?" "No, I can't even do that with my own family, let alone a total stranger." "I'm not sure I can get past that." "What makes you think you're so special?" "Every doctor in this place has flaws they've been dealing with since they were a little kid." "Hell, the guy who taught me is constantly getting in his own way." "Who needs a promotion anyway?" "I'm dating a girl who's always fighting her own neuroses." "Come on, Turk!" "Talk to me!" "And you saw my biggest flaw in action today." "I was willing to let a patient I liked go without an endoscopy because I wanted to spare him a painful procedure." "Sometimes I care a little too much." "Yeah, but that caring thing has a major upside." "And so does your cold, bitchy thing." "It'll protect you from letting all this stuff weigh you down." "Remember last Monday?" "We spent that night watching a young father die of lung cancer." " Do you remember his name?" " No." "Not even a little bit." "Jack Fremont." "Sometimes I still think about him and that is not a good thing." "What?" "You're so in touch with your emotions, and I can't really get to mine." "It's kind of like I'm the dude and you're the chick." "Not really getting that simile, Jo, but if it works for you, awesome." "So, now we know what my deal is." "How you gonna fix it?" "I'm not gonna fix anything." "I got my own garbage." "You're gonna do this on your own." "You're a doctor." "Turk, come on." "I'm desperate." "Elliot, Todd and I are in the middle of teaching our interns how to do an appendectomy." "Please." "You just cut it out and sew him up." "She's right, actually." "Finish up." "Look, Carla always says that making love with you is perfect." " Yeah, she did." " Tell me what makes it so special." "I mean, she says that you even cry sometimes." " Thank you for sharing." " That's okay, T-Dog, if it doesn't hurt, you're not doing it right." "I just want things to be different with J.D. This time, to be better." "You wanna know what's so special about Carla and me?" "That we don't have to try and make it special." "Okay?" "We're just connected." "If you want things to be different with J.D. This time around, you're gonna have to give up all of that immature, neurotic over-thinking and just be with each other." " Todd, hit the button." " What button?" "Much better." "Turk!" "That's not right." "So this is what fear feels like, huh?" "It's kind of like being really drunk, only in a very sad way." "You're just loving watching me fall apart like this, huh?" "More than comfy shoes and a warm place to crap." " Yeah." " But you're gonna take this job." "Partly because you were meant to do it, but mostly because, if you don't, I will always remind you that you are a sac-less little fraidy-cat." "Why in the hell did you try to talk me out of it?" "I had to tell you the truth to prepare you." "If I'd fluffed it up, you would have tortured me forever." "So you really think I'm the man for the job?" "Who the hell do you think recommended you?" " Thank you." " You're welcome." " Oh, God, no." " What?" "You don't really think we're becoming friends, do you?" "Good Lord." "I hope not." "You wanna come over for a brewski tomorrow and check out my hobby shop?" " Too fast, Bob." " Yeah, I knew when I said it." "Oh, good." "You're done with your quiet time." "Look, the nurse said that Mr. Lawton's having a bit of a breakdown about his cancer." "I want you to go over there and help him through it." "You really want me talking to him?" " Lf he cries, I'm gonna hit him." " Don't mess it up." "Okay." "J.D.:" "I knew I couldn't fix Jo, but I could still give her a push." "Because sometimes that's all people need to deal with their fatal flaw." "Well, I'm the new Chief." "What the hell is happening?" "Still too soon?" "Way too soon, Bob." "J.D.:" "And even if some people can only take a baby step..." "I can't imagine what it's like to have cancer, but I bet it sucks." "It totally sucks." " You all right?" " Yeah, I'll get through it." "J.D.:" "Others might finally be able to stop trying so hard and just let the moment happen." "Wow." "You look amazing." "Even in cookie pants?" "Especially in cookie pants." "That one's for you, Pop-Pop." "He's not dead." "He's upstairs." "Dying." " J.D.:" "Is he a patient here?" " Yeah." "He's in the psych ward." "He says he's an owl, but I can't believe a word he hoots." "That one's for you, Grandpa." "He's not dead." "He's on the roof." "J.D.:" "Why on the roof?" "He thinks he's a mountain lion." "Just like my granddad taught me when I was a boy." "He said, "Janitor, don't marry a German." "They have monkey feet.""

"Dads is recorded in front of a live studio audience." "Subtitles downloaded from Podnapisi.NET" "God." "Was that a ghost?" "Hopefully soon." "I'm not looking." "I'm not looking." "Ah, a brunette." "I'm not looking." "Not looking." "Dad!" "What are you doing?" "I got to use the bathroom." "Why don't you use the one upstairs?" "Upstairs is for liquids only." "Why do you always do this?" "Always?" "How many girls do you have up here?" "A ton." "Ew, gross." "I'm out of here." "No." "Oh, come on, don't leave." "Where are you going?" "It's San Francisco."

"Oh, hey, um, have you found someone to do the voice for the Wall Street game?" "Just, uh, get the guy." "Uh, Doug Henderson." "He always does it." "Uh, not anymore." "He's in prison." "What?" "He was the East Bay Strangler." "He killed like eight people." "You know, he was always talking about East Bay and strangling, but I never put the two together." "Oh, boy." "I know that face." "That's the "I put the time in but didn't get laid" face." "Hey, buddy." "What's the matter?" "I put the time in, I didn't get laid." "You know, Eli, there's more to life than intercourse." "You know, some of us actually enjoy sex." "We don't only use it for procreation." "Hey, both my kids were drunken mistakes." "Thank you very much." "You're quietly a terrible person." "I know." "Well, the point is, as long as my dad's living with me," "I'll never be able to have sex again." "Aw, that's too bad, because Anne's single." "Anne?" "Your hot blonde friend?" "Mm-hmm." "What happened to her boyfriend?" "Ugh." "He broke up with her." "What?" "Why would you break up with that?" "Well, she's a comic." "She's always doing some tiresome bits." "Oh, boy, here we go." "Look at the green-eyed monster of jealousy rearing its head." "Extra, extra!" "Girl denigrates attractive friend." "Paper, mister?" "Why, sure, I'll take one of those." "Shame about those girls." "What's this?" "Roosevelt has polio?" "Oh, boy!" "Yeah, tiresome." "What do I care?" "My penis doesn't have ears." "I'm deaf!" "It's hard being deaf!" "Life is so hard!" "Where are you going?" "I still got..." "Hey, Dad, great news." "You are going out tonight." "Really?" "Where?" "I don't care." "I need to be able to have sex in my own apartment." "So, go ahead." "People have been having sex around me my whole life." "My nickname in college was" ""Sleeps Through It" Sachs." "Of course, after I was married, your mother took that name." "Look, I-I have a date tonight." "And I don't want it screwed up." "Who is she?" "Veronica's recently-single friend." "Oh, a rebound." "You want my advice?" "You've never been right about anything." "Not true." "When you were four," "I told you there was no Santa Claus." "You cried and cried, but I was right." "No Santa?" "Uh..." "No, Edna, there's..." "of course there's a Santa Claus." "Of course there's Santa." "Look, tonight, when I come home with this girl, you're gonna suddenly remember that you have somewhere to go." "And then here's the most important part... you go." "Go where?" "I don't know, go to, like, the movies or something." "Here." "And I should starve to death?" "And what happens when I storm out of the first movie?" "What if the second movie has singing?" "Okay, I finish." "Thank you." "Hey." "Oh, hey." "Why... why are you finger-painting?" "It's for Alden's class project." "Oh, well, shouldn't he be doing that?" "Well, you know, he has no sense of scale, and I'm just not letting those skinny-ass, blonde-bitch moms stare down their Meg Ryan duck lips at this chica." "Oh, I love it when you get ethnic." "How was work, baby?" "It was okay, but we're running behind on our Wall Street game." "I can't find a single voice actor who sounds like a businessman." "All right, yeah." "25% down now, and the balance on delivery." "Mm-hmm, we got a deal." "I'll take two boxes of the mint cookies, Kimmy." "Honey, you should let your dad do the voice in your new videogame." "What?" "What's that?" "What was that?" "I just blacked out for a second." "No, this is great." "Warner wants you to voice a businessman in his new game." "Well, is this so?" "Mint cookies, huh?" "Mmm." "Well, I'm very flattered, Warner, but I'm not gonna sign anything until I read the contract first." "I learned that the hard way with Not-C tutoring." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "What the hell is that?" "It was an educational course for kids." "Mm-hmm." ""A's and B's, but never a C." "That's the Not-C guarantee."" "We had to move to Holland for two years while things cooled off." "My Dutch name was Petra Vanderhozen." "Fell, like, 50 feet." "I didn't think I'd even survive." "Hey, Dad." "What are you doing here?" "I thought you were busy tonight." "Oh, right." "I suddenly remember, I have that thing." "Well, listen, before you definitely leave, let me introduce you to Anne." "Anne, this is my dad." "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Sachs." "Ow!" "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" "J-Kidsky." "I'm fine." "Anne's a comedian." "She's funny, huh?" "Ha-choo." "Uh, what-what are you doing?" "Staying in." "I think I'm coming down with something." "Eli, put on your mask, you fool!" "The virus is spreading!" "Hashtag, contagion." "Ha-choo." "Morning, Eli." "How you sleep?" "Alone." "Can I get you anything?" "Yes, as a matter of fact." "You can get my dad to understand that when we make a deal, he has to stick to it." "Okay." "Uh, Mr. David?" "Um..." "Uh, Eli say, uh... he..." "He, um... um... to say to you, why..." "Okay, we're not doing this." "Why didn't you leave last night?" "I saved you." "That girl was a nightmare." "Eli, your father has some skills." "I know women." "No, you don't." "You created three lesbians." "In their '50s." "Those were great relationships." "I'm wearing Margaret's old jeans now." "This is where she used to keep her hammer." "You know nothing about Anne." "I also know nothing about bone cancer, but I know I don't want it in the house." "You made a snap judgment the way you always do." "Anne is gorgeous, and at least she's not boring." "Trust me, you'll pray for boring." "Remember," "Joan Rivers' husband killed himself." "Well, she's single." "You should give her a call." "Hey, Edna, you have kids?" "Sí." "Well, just you wait until they're his age." "They are." "My oldest... she 41." "Really?" "How old are you?" "I no like to talk about." "This is a real recording studio." "Wow!" "Let's test the microphone, see if it works." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..." "Uh, Dad, you only test to three." "...nine, ten, 11, 12." "Dad, stop." "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." "Okay, that's typing, Dad." "The quick brown fox..." "Okay, we're good with the mic check, Dad!" "Are we good?" "Yeah, we're good." "Yeah, okay." "Yeah." "No." "So, it turns out my dad ruined my date on purpose." "He thinks he's saving me from a disaster." "What kind of disaster?" "Well, he thinks Anne's comedy is horrible and I'll wind up killing myself." "Oh, you mean like Joan Rivers' husband?" "Yeah." "Well, your dad's right." "She's awful." "I thought she was your friend." "Yeah, she's one of my best friends." "Well, the point is, he's preventing me from having sex in my own place." "Okay, why don't you just go to her place?" "No way." "I'm way better at home than on the road." "Crowd's on my side." "Wait." "The crowd?" "Yeah, the crowd I imagine cheering me on." "Am I in the crowd?" "No, you're not in the crowd." " Ew, that's disgusting!" " What?" "Oh, now I'm just gonna be picturing you in the crowd." "I assume it's all right to smoke cigars in here." "Oh, my God!" "Okay, look." "Put it out." "Put it out." "Put it out!" "Wh..." "So, it's a one-bed, one-bath fixer-upper, all new stainless steel appliances." "Are you single, hon?" "Your jokes were so funny tonight."

"I like you just the way you are." "I had a really great time with you tonight, Eli." "Thank you for letting me be myself." "I, uh..." "I really like you." "Oh, my." "I do declare." "Let us away to the boudoir." "I have always depended upon the penises of strangers." "Hey, do you have a mute whore character?" "Back off, peasants!" "That's my oil!" "Dad, that's really great." "You sound like a real businessman." "I know!" "It's crazy." "You almost done?" "Yeah." "We might have to boil the microphone, but, other than that, it's great." "You know, Warner, some of these lines almost make it sound like the businessmen are the bad guys." "Well, yeah, Dad, the object of the game is to actually decapitate as many heartless, greedy businessmen as possible." "Or you can castrate them." "It's player's choice." "Oh, my God." "Well, I'm sorry." "I can't do this." "What?" "Wall Street put me where I am today." "Dad, you sleep on my sofa bed." "Well, not anymore." "I'm sleeping here now." "Wait, Dad, what are you... what are you doing?" "Wait." "Okay." "Uh..." "Dad, what are you doing?" "Those hippies occupied Wall Street." "Well, I'm gonna occupy this booth." "Oh, come on." "You're not gonna last 20 minutes in there." "You don't even have anything to eat." "Ham and cheese." "You don't have anything to drink." "Ah..." "You... you don't have a toilet." "Ah..." " Good date?" " Great date." "I see you didn't spend the night." "We are taking it slow." "Let me guess." "She Robin Williams'd you to impotence." "The opposite." "I Seinfeld't her up." "Wow, sounds like a great relationship." "Definitely." "You know, I don't throw around the term "soul mate" a lot..." "Finish the thought." "But when you know, you know." "You really like her that much?" "Yeah, actually, I think I love her." "I guess I was wrong." "Sounds like you're serious." "Damn straight, I'm serious." "Maybe you should have her move in." "Maybe I will." "Wait, what?" "Well, since you're so smitten, maybe you should take it to the next step." "Unless... you think I'm right about her." "Oh, we will take it to the next step." "I'm-I'm gonna..." "I'll call her right now." "Oh." "M-My battery's dead." "H-Hello?" "Uh, sorry, I don't know Ivana Pinchaloaf." "Oh, hi, Anne." "It's Anne." "Yeah." "Um, I was actually just about to call you." "Listen, um, I know this is fast..." "Sh..." "She's doing Speedy Gonzales." "Right." "I..." "Anyway, I-I know, but, um..." "I was th..." "I was thinking... you know, things are going really great, and... m-maybe... well, maybe you would want to... uh, like move in with me." "Oh, yeah." "I suppose it is an offer you can't refuse." "Killer Godfather impression." "Yes." "Well, that's great." "Great." "Sounds great." "Okay." "Bye." "So?" "Well, her lease is up, so it actually times out perfectly." "Congratulations." "And since I know you love impressions, here's an impression of you in a week." ""My dad was right!"" "Sidewalk!" "She's moving in?" "Yep, as we speak." "I saw her carrying two big boxes marked "wigs, teeth."" "Why are you doing this?" "Well, I was just trying to prove my dad wrong, and the whole thing got out of hand." "But I figure, all I have to do is stick with her for, like, 30 years and then he'll die and I will win." "But I always thought we'd get married." "R-Really?" "J-Kidsky." "Everyone in this room knows what will happen if we do nothing." "Just stop it!" "Our deficit will grow." "Not true!" "More families will go bankrupt." "Just stop it!" "More businesses will close." "You know, you're not gonna scare me out of here with this rap music!" "That was Barack Obama with "Health Care Blues."" "Now here's a little ditty from our friend Al Gore called "I Created the Internet"!" "I took the initiative in creating the Internet... ♪ Ronald Reagan" "♪ Ronald Reagan" "♪ Ronald Reagan" "♪ Ronald Reagan" "Honey, I figured out a way to get us out of this." "Hi, Crawford." "Hi." "There's someone here to see you." "Huh?" "Kimmy?" "I have your cookies, Mr. Whittemore." "Kimmy has your cookies." "You made a deal with her, Crawford." "You have to come out and honor it." "It was an oral contract." "It'll never hold up in court." "Do you really want little Kimmy here to think all businessmen are liar, liar, pants on fire?" "!" "Is that true?" "Yes, Kimmy." "I'm afraid it's "twue."" "No, it isn't." "Kimmy, businesspeople are good, honest people." "And their pants are never on fire." "Thank you." "Uh, no, no, no, no." "These are not mint." "These are the Aloha-has." "I'm allergic to coconut." "I'm sorry, I can't pay you." "This is not what we agreed to." "Where's my money?" "!" "Ow!" "How dare you kick a businessman!" "We built this country!" "Oh, this is great." "I got to record this." "I'll sue you!" "Keep kicking him, Kimmy!" "This is a place of business!" "You're trespassing on private property, you little parasite!" "Warner, I think she's really hurting him." "Oh, that's okay." "He's a grown man." "She's a little girl." "Put down the briefcase, Kimmy." "Uh-oh." "Uh..." "Oh!" "Well, that's the last of it." "We are officially living together." "Honey, it's not what you think!" "Please don't use me in your skits." "Him Big Chief Need-A-Laugh." "Well," "I have got to unpack." "Porter, my bags!" "All aboard!" "Next stop, Steubenville!" "Now passing Old Stone Face." "Do they make tampons for your mouth?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "I think this is really gonna be great." "You do, do you?" "There's a woman in your bedroom acting like a locomotive." "Come on, Dad, it's not that bad." "What is the deal with memory foam pillows?" "Does it remember my head?" "Because, if so, every time I lay down, it should say, "Hello, Anne."" "I think my memory foam pillow has Alzheimer's..." "Good night!" "Thank you!" "Drive safe!" "Okay, you were right." "Help me, Daddy." "Please make the bad lady go away." "When did you learn to hypnotize people?" "You stow away on a Carnival cruise ship, you learn some things." "I got to admit, Dad, you were right about her." "I guess it wouldn't hurt to... listen to you every once in a while." "That's the nicest thing you've said since I moved in." "Give me a hug." "See?" "Your old man still knows a thing or two about relationships." "Edna, no prints." "This no Edna's first rodeo." "We'll take the next one." "No, no, no." "We'll squeeze in." "Okay..." "Can you hit, uh, "garage"?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Thanks." "Okay." "How was your day?" "Good." "Good."

"When they killed my husband, whom I love very much," "I had no choice." "What, you don't have sons?" "My twin sons were murdered." "So, I have devoted my life to my surviving children." "Do you still get to talk to your kids?" "My son hates me, because I took his power away." "They would have killed him, too." "And my daughter, she's ashamed of me." "And I am proud of her for it."

"Earth, the only life sustaining planet in our solar system." "Yet throughout its history our world has been a planetary punching bag." "Anything that crosses the orbit of Earth could one day slam into the Earth." "At this very moment, violent celestial heavyweights roam the Universe and threaten to deal the Earth a knockout blow." "The power would be like setting off the whole world's armament at one time, and would be like standing next to Hiroshima all over the world." "Everything in us will get ripped apart and all of your body would fly off to infinity." "But some scientists and former astronauts are not willing to go down without a fight." "They're racing to track down these cosmic killers before they trigger Armageddon." "Traduzione e synchfix: supersimo, ZioCampori, hipopo, kickaha, cochrane, don_ciccio" "Revisione: kickaha, supersimo" "The Universe 1x03" " The end of the Earth Deep space threats to our planet" "Earth, shimmers like a sapphire jewel in our solar system." "We go about our days, unaware that, in the far reaches of space," "trouble could be headed our way." "Our solar system is a lot like an amusement park." "Earth and most of the other objects carve predictable paths around the Sun." "Normally everything is calm and smooth, but at times things get chaotic and violent." "Earth can be slammed by space rocks, zapped by deadly space weather, jolted, jostled and threatened by the object's energy and forces of the cosmic." "The Earth is on a cosmic thrill ride, one that often involves extreme danger." "When you're moving fast in on a pre-determined path, you hope nothing crosses, because there's nothing you can do." "Nicaraguan border is right down along..." "Former astronaut Rusty Schweickart knows first hand how dangerous celestial objects can be." "In 1969 he piloted the lunar module during the Apollo 9 mission." "Now Schweickart is ready for more than a cruise to the cosmos." "He's sounding alarms about the dangers of one particular asteroid, named Apophis, which got too close for comfort in 2004." "He had immediately got everybody's attention, because the probability of impact was quite high." "In fact it was higher than any impact probability that we had ever seen up until that time." "And Schweickart has a terrifying real life example of just how damaging an impact from an asteroid, even smaller than Apophis, could be." "June 30th 1908, 7:15 AM." "An object, half the size of a football field, plunged down from space at around 34,000 miles per hour." "And produced a stream of fiery gas behind it." "Within minutes, the fireball entered our atmosphere, and violently exploded about Siberia's Tunguska forest." "It became the largest explosion on Earth in modern human history." "The blast parted waves, which torched 8 million trees in an area over half the size of Rhode Island." "Fortunately no one died as a direct result of the explosion, because it was in a thinly populated area." "If that asteroid hit just a few hours later, it would not have hit Siberia, it would have hit over Europe." "And if that had exploded midair over any of the major cities of Europe, a million people would died like that." "For the last hundred years, the Tunguska explosion has been shrouded in controversy." "Today many scientists agree an asteroid cause the blast." "Incredibly, it never even impacted the ground." "Rather, it exploded five miles above Siberia's frozen ground." "A small stony asteroid can't survive the plaster of ours atmosphere." "When it smacks into the lower atmosphere, doing about 50,000 miles an hour, it's like an egg smashing on the concrete." "The blast over Siberia released energy equivalent to 15 megatons of TNT, a thousand times greater than Hiroshima." "If this were to happen over a large city, it would annihilate it." "Scientists called these trespassers, Near Earth Objects, or NEOs." "They're asteroids and comets, which are leftovers from the formation of the planets." "Comets move in the Oort Cloud in the Kuiper Belt, which is beyond the planet Neptune." "Asteroids travel in a bend between Jupiter and Mars." "But their orbital trip isn't always routine." "Most of the asteroids orbit in a neat belt between Mars and Jupiter," "And we don't worry much about those." "But when one gets away, and all that mass and energy is headed towards Earth, that's when the astronomers start to worry." "Often times these cosmic remnants get bumped out of her orbit, and head on a collision course with Earth." "Our planet's thick atmosphere vaporizes the vast majority of it." "But a larger object can knock through our atmosphere and actually impact the ground." "If you want to turn to the cosmos and look at the forces that would have us dead, asteroids striking are real and they're bad." "It's happened before, it will happen again." "65 million years ago, an asteroid the size of a small city plummeted down from the sky." "It exploded in the Yucatan peninsula near the present day Mexican village of Chicxulub, with the force of one hundred million megatons of TNT." "Here's the Earth... cast... billions of tons of Earth's crust into the atmosphere," "cloaking Earth, blocking out sunlight, knocking out the base of the food chain and sending a wave of extinction across the tree of life." "It is believed the ferocious impact contributed to the mass extinction of the dinosaurs." "We can think of asteroids as being bad things, but if it were not for an asteroid we wouldn't be here today." "Our mammal ancestors were running on their foot, trying to avoid being hors d'oeuvres for T-rex." "T-rex gets taken out." "Well this opened up an ecological niche, that allowed our mammal ancestors to evolve to something more ambitious than a rout and outcomes the primates and among the primates we have people." "But ironically the very kind of cosmic boulder that paved the way for humans to exist, may one day wipe us off the planet." "In 1998 Congress urged NASA to detect all the Near Earth Objects over a half mile in diameter or more." "And what they found was unsettling." "Over 850 NEOs in our vicinity." "These asteroids are our closest and most dangerous neighbors in the solar system." "Donald Yeomans heads the NEO program at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory." "He and his cosmic bounty hunters search for potential killers lurking in our solar system, and put them on their most wanted list." "Finding these Near Earth Objects is somewhat liken to tracking hurricanes." "As you track it, day after day, you get a better idea of its orbit, you can predict where it's going, you have a better idea how large it is and, if it should hit the Earth, with what sort of velocity." "By using telescopic technologies" "NASA's Spaceguard Survey has detected over 90% of all NEOs deemed harmful." "These frightening objects could strike the Earth with the energy greater than all the nuclear weapons on our planet today." "Such an impact could trigger mass extinction." "We wouldn't expect one to hit about, every several hundred, thousand or millions of years, but if one did it, it could wipe out different fraction of the population." "So there are very low probability events but high consequence events." "If they hit the Earth they would have global effects." "They not only would you wipe out a continent with really heavy shockwaves, but the ejected would be thrown up in the air and come down all around the planet, the atmosphere itself would get to a thousand degrees or so..." "And all the vegetation all over the world where that happens would flash into flames." "Cataclysms could also occur with smaller objects, so Congress now asks NASA to locate all NEOs 500 feet in diameter, as wide as the roman Colosseum." "An object that big could decimate a metropolitan area or even a small state." "And what worries scientists most is not the asteroids they've discovered, but the ones they have not yet found." "Well, at the given time there's about 2000 objects for which we can't yet rule out an Earth impact." "Former astronaut Schweickart has taken the threat of NEOs one step further." "He's up here before Congress to request a special government agency be responsible for protecting the public from space rocks." "Today we have the technology to stop" "Near Earth Objects from impacting the Earth for the rest of history." "I mean, we can literally now begin to reshape the local solar system, so that our survival is enhanced." "The question is: will we or will we go the way of the dinosaurs?" "But Schweickart isn't waiting for NASA or Congress to solve the problem." "He has his own plans to save the planet from the next asteroid impact." "It's hard to believe the Earth has survived over 4.5 billion years, because since its infancy the planet has taken a beating." "Like a boxer, our world is under constant assault from asteroids that enter our orbit each year, but in the future Earth could be knocked out." "Former Apollo 9 astronaut, Rusty Schweickart refuses to be bullied by asteroids, and now he's ready to defend Earth against these harmful rocks." "We've discovered that there are these Near Earth Objects flying by us all the time, and we've got more and more capability to modify our environment to enhance our survival." "Schweickart is particularly concerned about an asteroid named 2004MN4, better known as Apophis." "This pockmarked rock, approximately 750 feet in diameter, swept near Earth in 2004." "Now it's scheduled to pass dangerously close to our planet again, on Friday, the 13th in April 2029." "So in 2029..." "Apophis will come closer to us than our roam communication satellites orbiting the Earth." "It will be so close that people who are in the right place will be able to see" "Apophis go by the Earth with your naked eye." "You won't even have to have binocular, that's how close that asteroid is gonna come." "Apophis has an over 99% chance of missing the Earth in 2029, but if Apophis passes the Earth at a distance of exactly 18,893 miles, it may pass through a gravitational keyhole, a narrow region in space, a half mile wide." "If this happens, the Earth's gravity could upset Apophis, and change its trajectory." "It could cause it to return, and hit Earth seven years later, on April 13th, 2036." "The gravitational effect of the Earth, would cause it to bend, cause the Apophis' orbit to enlarge to precisely the size, which seven years later it will come around and hit the Earth." "At the present time, Apophis has 1 in 45.000 chance of delivering a deadly blow in 2036." "But even these odds have scientists placing bets." "It's one thing to know that there is maybe 1 chance on 45.000, that it's gonna hit the Earth, but what you'd like to know is if there is one chance in a hundred, if there is one chance in ten," "if there is a probability one that it's gonna hit the Earth." "Schweickart believes we must regard Apophis as we would any natural disaster." "He's even mapped out where Apophis might strike." "You have the date of the impact, the time of the impact, the orbital inclination, and you can make a map." "And what that map shows, is what I have called a "path of risk"." "It goes all the way across the planet, and I look at this and I see a high probability of impact and I say..." "Wow!" "You know, where might it hit?" "According to Schweickart," "Apophis could impact any point along this "path of risk"." "It begins in Western Siberia, cuts across and down the Pacific Ocean, near California, then it traverses Central America and finishes in Western Africa." "Schweickart proposes a chilling scenario of where Apophis might strike." "The asteroid could land in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California, with a force of over one million megatons of TNT." "Such an impact would create a 5 mile wide, 9,000 foot deep crater in the water, which would unleash tsunamis," "with reckless 50 foot waves would pound the coast line, resulting in unimaginable human loss." "An asteroid a thousand feet in diameter, having it hitting the ocean is not a good deal." "Hundreds of billions of dollars of damage." "For something like that." "Scientists are presently working on technologies to pre-empt such a cosmic strike." "One idea involves blowing up an asteroid." "But some feel this could compound the problem, sending several chunks of the asteroid in our direction instead of just one." "Consequently, Schweickart's new mission is to change the orbit of asteroids that could impact Earth." "What you wanna do is basically change the asteroid's orbit very, very slightly." "Change its velocity by a ten thousand of a mile per hour, so that it will miss the Earth instead of hitting it." "Rusty's colleagues have drafted a conceptual design of a spacecraft that could deflect asteroids." "Particularly Apophis." "One would tow armful asteroids away from Earth." "But instead of lassoing the rock like a bull at a Rodeo, the tractor will hover in front of it, and use gravity as a tow line." "If you park in front of an asteroid for a long enough period of time, and you stay close enough to it, but not touching it, you're going to increase its velocity, or, if you park behind it," "while it's moving along, you're going to slow it down very slightly." "We can change the orbit of an asteroid, if we know about it far enough ahead of time." "Although a space probe has landed on an asteroid in the past, the most challenging idea is launching a manned mission." "Once landing on the rock, astronauts could mount a radio transponder, to track its whereabouts." "You could just use a robotic mission to go to an asteroid, and land, grab a sample and bring it back." "That's not that difficult." "What you gain by a man mission is they can react to interesting areas on the asteroid's surface." "They could go here, there, there." "And they wouldn't have to rely on remote navigation." "Nicaraguan border..." "Schweickart insists we should remain on high alert regarding asteroid Apophis." "And his cause hasn't gone unheard." "Now the United Nations plans to draft a treaty, which will include who will be responsible for deflecting killer asteroids." "That will be a real crime if we are so irresponsible, knowing that this is gonna happen, that we continue to do nothing about it." "But asteroids and comets are not the only deep space threats." "Earth has had its ups and..." "Earth has had its downs." "You never know what's gonna be around the next corner, and a lot of it is bad." "In far of galaxies, galactic invaders are at work." "Itching to end life on the planet, as we know it." "Three times daily a strange flash pulsates across our sky." "It's hundreds of times more powerful than the world's total nuclear armament." "But it's not man-made:" "And if one happens close enough to Earth, it could end life on our planet." "Most earthlings are unaware of the potential hazards in space." "But the list is long and growing." "Imagine this." "Within our own galaxy, the Milky Way, a massive star explodes, sending a lethal burst of energy rocketing into our planet." "This is a gamma ray burst, the biggest explosion to rock the Universe, since the Big Bang." "In the cities and countryside below there's no warning of what's about to happen." "And then, it strikes." "It would be equivalent to standing one mile away from Hiroshima, any place on the Earth." "The pumped radiation cooks the upper atmosphere." "Our ozone layer roasts." "Across the atmosphere human beings burns to death from radiation a hundred times the fatal dose." "The disappearing ozone layer causes increase temperatures around the world, triggering cyclones, tsunamis and hurricanes." "Most life on the surfaces of land and water incinerates." "This may seem like science fiction, but it could happen, if a gamma ray burst hit Earth from 100 light years away." "Gamma ray bursts are the brightest explosions in the Universe." "Because they are so far away and they are still so brilliant they must involve an enormous amount of power." "As much energy as the Sun will emit in its entire ten billion year life time." "As a young student," "Stan Woosley always like the experiments that go "boom"." "Now, the work of this astrophysicist is more than child's play." "He's one of the galactic detectives trying to uncover the mysteries behind gamma ray bursts." "We know there're many planets and many stars throughout the cosmos, so there may have been countless civilizations that were destroyed by gamma ray burst." "These peculiar beam of radiation were first spotted in the 1960s." "At first most astronomers believe these gamma ray bursts must exist in our own galaxy, the Milky Way, because they're so bright." "There are reason for that, one was if they're outside the galaxy then the energy was almost unbelievable." "But at the time, even the most powerful telescopes couldn't determine their location and distance because the burst lasted for a few seconds then disappeared." "But then astronomers wondered what about their afterglow?" "Cosmic explosions typically leave behind some luminous residue that sometimes lasts for days or weeks." "In the late 1990s satellites used upgraded optics and x-ray detectors to finally capture a gamma ray bursts afterglow." "It became clear that gamma ray burst actually were... cosmological, coming from very far outside of our galaxy, from millions and billions of light years away." "And that meant their energy had to truly be astronomical." "You get some idea of how incredibly bright a gamma ray burst is..." "We could represent the brightness of our Sun by this relatively dim led and we can represent the brightness of the gamma ray burst by the very very intense searchlight that's behind me, and then incredibly bright." "Unfortunately with this comparison, the searchlight is not nearly bright enough to represent fully the gamma ray burst and in fact we'd need a hundred billion such searchlights to have an adequate comparison." "The gamma ray burst is equivalent to the brightness of a million trillion suns." "This massive burst could decimate Earth." "But what causes them?" "We are quite convinced that the common gamma ray burst comes from the death of a massive star, at least ten times the mass of the Sun." "And such stars are quite rare by the way." "Woosley masterminded a ground-breaking model of how gamma ray bursts may be created." "When an extremely massive star dies it collapses into a black hole." "Black holes are created when a collection of matter collapses to such a high density that light itself cannot escape." "But Woosley proposes that some of the star resists getting sucked into the center of the black hole." "As result, a high speed spinning disk of matter forms around it." "Within seconds, jets of plasma shoot out from its rotational poles." "These beams of energy unleash dangerous gamma rays into space." "So if you can imagine just trying to squeeze a fruit or some kind of sphere of some object into a very small space things are gonna squirt out and in this case the squeezing is done very rapidly and you're talking about a huge amount of mass." "At the same time the gamma ray bursts are ejected the collapsing star explodes or goes supernova to the extreme." "One of the reasons gamma rays bursts are so incredibly bright is that they take an enormous amount of power, and then they focus that power into a very small portion of the sky." "For every 300 gamma ray bursts that go off only one is pointed in our direction, and so we only see 1 of those 300." "Even if a gamma ray burst would have occurred not 100 but 1000 light years away, the Earth could still face apocalyptic destruction." "If a gamma ray burst happens within 100 light years off the Earth, then it would be approximately 500 times brighter than the Sun and made in gamma rays." "The energy delivered to the Earth's upper atmosphere would be like a 100,000 megatons of nuclear explosions." "The ozone would be depleted, we'd have acid rain but we'd also have flash burns, incineration of vegetation, perhaps something resembling nuclear weather." "So there could be a global extinction of many species." "Now the far side of the Earth would be a special place to be, because gamma rays don't go through the Earth and if you're on the other side you wouldn't get flash-burned." "But the effect of depleting the ozone and changing the composition of the atmosphere would eventually come to the other side." "And there the effects are unknown." "Statistically this ghastly scenario has 1% chance of happening once in the Earth's entire lifetime." "But even these odds aren't reassuring if you're living on the planet at that very moment." "If you're caught in the beam... that's a bad day for you." "If one of this happens in your galaxy and that beam is coming your way, go hide in a cave." "Because this is very high energy radiation." "It's the kind of energy that would decompose your molecules, and you just don't wanna be..." "be around when it's happening." "There currently are no defense measures to shield us from gamma ray bursts if they happen close to Earth." "They travel at the speed of light: 186,000 miles per second." "By the time we detected them, they would have already struck our planet." "Gamma rays bursts could pose a hazard to the Earth or to anything living that came within their born site." "But as we've seen they're very infrequent and there are other things in the heavens and on the Earth that are much more dangerous." "Cataclysms routinely erupt in some corner of the Universe." "And one day something will snuff out Earth." "Most of the time our ride around the Sun is gentle and uneventful like this Ferris wheel." "And as long as nothing gets in our way." "We can go on like this for millions of years." "But sooner or later we know that this smooth ride will come to an end." "We just don't know when." "Sadly our planet ultimate demise will probably come from the very thing that provides us life." "Earth maintains a cozy lifestyle being third rock from the Sun." "For over 4 billion years the Sun has been an ally, warming and feeding our planet." "But in time our solar heater will become our enemy." "The Sun and the Earth have a unique relationship to each other." "The Earth has a particular temperature, a particular size, it has life on it and oceans." "And those things depend on the Sun." "The Sun is at the root of the existence of life on the Earth and the Sun will be at the root of its demise as well." "Earth relationship with the Sun will become dysfunctional when our solar mother really turns up the heat." "The Sun gets hotter because it's burning hydrogen into helium." "Four hydrogen atoms become one helium atom." "That means there're fuel particles dancing around inside the Sun." "And that process basically means that the Sun has to get hotter and brighter to hold itself up." "As the Sun's core gets hotter its outer part will swell in size and turn red." "If you have a bonfire, you have all this wood there you built it up, and at some point enough logs get burnt and that thing collapses and you get this huge burst of sparks and it gets much brighter." "In a sense it's like that because the Sun is right now burning hydrogen into helium and the helium is the ash of that, if you like..." "And then as the Sun collapses enough the ash relights and the helium burns into carbon." "And that's when things get really hot." "At this point Sun will expand into a red giant, and incinerate most complex life on Earth." "When the Sun becomes a red giant it will grow to 30 times its size so the surface of the Sun will actually be out beyond the orbit of Mercury." "The luminosity of the Sun will grow up by like 1000 times." "That's gonna make the Earth so hot that the outer crust, the rocks, the soil part of the Earth... will melt." "The whole planet would be a glowing ball of lava." "The Sun will fry the inner planets and... even though the Sun will become red and cooler, the Earth will become much hotter." "Just leave the Earth a burnt cinder, like a charcoal bricket." "So that would be bad for life on Earth." "And the Earth's alleged fate isn't over." "As a red giant the Sun will fluctuate in size before collapsing into a white dwarf." "The Sun, that was huge, suddenly becomes a Sun that's very small and extremely dense, only about the size of the Earth, sitting down there at the center of our solar system, very much fainter than it used to be." "And everything cools off and then that object is no longer generating energy either, so it begins to cool as well." "The final fate of the solar system will be to cool off and freeze." "Humans will probably relocate to another planet or become extinct before the Sun turns Earth into a snowball." "However the Sun may dry up our world much sooner" "If the Sun doesn't get us at the time of the red giant phase, it may well get us earlier by just becoming bright enough to cause the oceans to evaporate." "Water is an essential component for our life and so if Earth actually loses all its water then that's another reason why life might disappear from the Earth, and it would again be the Sun's fault." "There may be ways for Earth to win a stay of execution." "As the Sun is swelling it also begins to lose mass, much more rapidly than it's losing it now." "And of course if it's getting less massive it has less of a hold on the Earth." "The Earth will move further out, into a larger orbit." "And so it's kind of a race between the growing Sun and the growing heat from the Sun and the Earth, actually moving, you know, a little bit away from that fire that's getting too hot." "If our planet somehow manages to avoid getting fried or frozen by the Sun," "its future remains increasingly bleak." "This place is full of adventure." "Rides that put your stomach up in your throat, things that collide, scary stuff..." "It's a lot like riding around the Sun on planet Earth." "But when Earth gets smacked or when things start come apart, the ride could really be over." "I don't know that means for the Universe to end, because I like time, I live in it." "So it's hard to imagine time ending." "Today scientists contemplate our inevitable fate." "In the distant future, the Earth and the entire Universe, may face the ultimate cosmic monster." "No one suspects that Earth's most lethal enemy lurks amongst the stars." "But in the future, and without prior warning a cosmic grim reaper will unleash the ultimate Armageddon." "The dark villain will stretch apart the Universe." "Galaxies themselves will split apart." "Stars and planets will tear to shreds." "The ultimate apocalyptic event is being called "The Big Rip"." "And when it begins it won't stop until every atom and nuclei in the Universe aren't minced meat." ""The Big Rip", it really is the end of the Universe." "It's not like we're the last ones at the party, wondering what's going on and we can go do something else." "It's really like you've turned off all the lights." "And the Universe just ends." "Innovator physicists Robert Caldwell and Marc Kamionkowski proposed a notion of "The Big Rip"." "A grim hypothesis about the final fate of the Universe." "We use to think that the Universe, which is currently expanding, can reach a point of maximum expansion." ""The Big Rip" is the idea that the expansion will not only continue and accelerate, but rip everything apart as it does so." "Caldwell and Kamionkowski calculated that the Universe is expanding at an alarming and increasing pace." "And there something is sucking everything outward like a vacuum." "Acting like a galactic vice squad, these young scientists hunt for the cosmic killer." "They believe a mysterious phenomenon called dark energy may be the culprit." "Figuring out what dark energy is, is probably the number one goal of cosmologists today." "Dark energy is "dark" so you can't see it." "We can feel what it is, we feel that through its effects on the gravitational behavior of the Universe." "There could be some dark energy in this room, under the chair..." "It's only when you look at its properties on really big cosmological length scales, billions of light-years across, that you start to see the accumulated effects of the dark energy." "It causes things to be pushed farther away from each other and contributes to the expansion of the Universe." "And it quicken in pace." "Edwin Hubble, whom the Hubble telescope is named after, first discovered the Universe is expanding back in the 1920s." "But it wasn't until the 1998 when a crack team of scientists measured that this expansion is moving like a runaway train." "A nice analogy is to imagine that the Universe are three-dimensional spaces like the surface of a rubber balloon that I'm blowing up." "Ok, I'm gonna blow the balloon as a demonstration of the effects of the expansion of the Universe." "Here's the balloon gets bigger that's the depiction of the expansion of galaxies." "First galaxy, another one..." " These are galaxies..." " Okay." " One over there." " Okay." "That's our home." "As the Universe expands every other galaxy gets farther away from us." "In ordinary expansion each galaxy stays the same size." "But if you have super accelerated expansion, then the galaxies themselves can each expand." "Which is a sort of what happen here." "If I could blow it up fast enough to depict "The Big Rip" then the balloon would explode." " That's like space-time not being able to..." " Take it." "And coming to an end." "Sound we'll just pop a hole in the balloon." "That's "The Big Rip"." "According to Caldwell and Kamionkowski, the Universe has no hope of surviving "The Big Rip"." "They've even come up with a countdown to this apocalyptic event." ""The Big Rip", kind of rolls up its sleeves and progressively takes apart the Universe layer by layer." "Working from the outside in, going from the larger scales to the smaller scales." "A billion years to pull apart clusters of galaxies, then hundreds of millions of years to pull apart galaxies themselves." "And then, down to the size of the solar system, we're talking hundred of thousands of years." "And then to tear apart the Earth itself will take... less than an hour." "It's kind of interesting to think about what that would look like." "If I'm in my protective capsule watching things happen," "I would see the swallow of darkness that starts coming towards us." "I would no longer, at that point, be able to see any stars." "The Earth layer by layer would be peeled off and ejected away." "Everything in us, the molecules that hold us together, would get ripped apart and... every atom that makes up your body would get... would get... would fly off to infinity." "In a very short period of time." "Fortunately mankind doesn't need to lose sleep over "The Big Rip"." "Caldwell and Kamionkowski estimate that it will climax fifty billion years from now, when the Universe is over three times its current age." "What's really fun for us is to try to figure out whether this is actually what's going to happen," "to paint a science fiction scenario of what might happen and to think what might happen to us." "Deep space threats are real?" "Sun could harm us tomorrow?" "Others in the far future." "But one thing is certain." "Something will terminate Earth and probably the entire Universe." "Once and for all." "It's only a matter of time." "It's useful to sometimes think about, how fragile our life is here on Earth." "That maybe we're not gonna be here for eternity." "Maybe there's a hope." "But... they way it looks..." "The Universe just ends." "And that's it."

"?" "?" "?" "?" "I've gotta rest." "I told you, you shouldn't have done that last hit, man." "You've been doing too much lately." "'re not doing enough, friend." "I love the venom and the sweet venom loves me." "Yeah, come on we got to go." "The last night bus is in ten minutes." "Don't touch me!" "Fine, sleep it off." "I'll see you later." "Sweet venom." "Capture:" "Evelyn~zx Sync:" "ÈðÈðµÄÀÇ" "The reaper's influence has fallen over my sanctum." "Sorry, the reaper?" "Oh, the grim...reaper." "A dead body was found outside Lexia's club." "My sweet angel, you read my mind." "Death's hand touches us all but this boy's passing might doom the Underground." "And the Underground is the name of your bar?" "The Underground's not a bar, it's more of a..." "Booze can for blood sucking wannabees?" "A sanctuary for children of the night, where they can congregate." "At nine dollars a drink." "I thought you said she was open to those who choose to live alternative lifestyles." "She is." "You are." "Believe me." "Okay, here's the part I don't understand." "If he died in the alley, what exactly do you want me to investigate?" "I have enough problems with the city already." "I don't need them trying to blame Dante's death on me." "Is there any reason to believe your establishment might be connected to his death?" "My customers are like my children." "I nurture them, like Coreen...my favourite." "The most spiritual of the night breed." "Okay I'll take the case." " My fee is..." " $500 a day, plus expenses." "What a sweet girl." "Do you think she uses a forklift to g her hair that high?" "Before you start, Lexia's my friend." "After Ian died, she was totally there for me." "She doesn't really strike me as the warm, fuzzy type." "You just don't know her." "Lexia is guarded when dealing with mundanes." "Mundanes?" "You know, normals, outsiders." "You mean me." "This is why you should let me work the case with you." "Coreen, I don't even know if there is a case." "And if there is, ever since I got these, half of my cases are a horror show." "I don't want to drag you into it." "Excuse me?" "I almost became a demon bride twice." "I had my mouth stolen by a voodoo queen." "I can handle anything that they throw at us." "Oh, I'm sure we'll read that in the book of famous last words." "The first thing you need to do is find out about the dead guy." "I bet he's chalk full of clues." "Did you just say'chalk full of clues'?" "I'm in, right?" "I mean, Vicki, this is going to be so much fun." "I don't know if I agree with your definition of fun," " but all right you can help." " Yes!" "Coreen, be still, no one likes a perky Goth." "Gene Hansen is proving to be a bit of a conundrum." "We know he was last seen alive at around 4 o'clock in the morning." "But his physical condition belies that estimate." "Oh!" "Looks like he's been dead a lot longer." "Area's swarmed by something." "Exactly what I was thinking." "On areas not consumed by insects, I found blisters,hives and swelling." "Anaphylactic shock?" "From insect bites?" "Anything could have triggered the allergic reaction." "My cousin, if she even looks at a peanut?" "Blowfish." "Well, these are insect bites, and that gets Lexia off the hook." "Still, I mean that is one hell of a bee sting." "We need to go to the Underground and find out what Gene Hansen was doing before he died." "Oh?" "Underground?" "I have to go change." "I can't go looking all corporate like this." "Corporate." " Hello." " Hey." "I got a case that's taking a tour through weirdsville." " You care to join?" " I'm a little tied up at the moment." "I got a dead..." "line to meet." "Oh, all right, you don't have to explain yourself to me." " I've got a life." " I thought you were dead." "I'm busy." " You're wearing that?" " You're wearing that?" "Okay, this is strictly a fact-finding mission," " do you understand?" " Right." "We're here to find out what Gene Hansen was doing the night he died." "I got it." "If you suspect someone, don't accuse them." "Don't let on that you suspect." "Okay?" "Do not pass go." "Do not collect $200." "You come directly to me." " Do you understand?" " Okay, okay, can we just go in now?" "All right." "Wait, wait, wait." "Don't you think we should go in separately?" "You don't think I fit in?" "Yeah, sure, narc." "Okay, you take the customers." "Don't let on that we know each other." "What?" "So what are you serving?" "This is a private club." "It's okay, Wynter." "This is Vicki Nelson." "She's doing some work for me." "She'll have some questions for you." "Please feel free to give her any assistance that she needs." "Taking a walk on the dark side are we?" "Unfortunately, I live there." "How long did you know Gene?" "Since eighth grade." "Drama club." "I never should have let him stay." "I should have dragged him into that bus." "It's not your fault." "All that talk about death's sweet embrace." "You know what?" "It's not sweet." "It hurts." "Did Gene have any allergies?" "I can ask his mother." "Absinthe and wine are the only things Lexia drinks so it's all we serve." "I've got to say I could go for a tequila every now and then, you know?" "And Gene Hansen, what was he drinking the night he died?" "Absinthe." "Anything else?" "Not that I know of." "Drugs?" "In a nightclub?" "Half the kids here are using." "Did Lexia know that?" "She'd have to be blind not to." "Yeah, she sure would." "Now this is truly a surprise." "I need your help, detective." "I don't do parking tickets." "It's not about parking tickets." "Really?" "Well, you must want to know what to get Vicki for her birthday." "You know what?" "Between you and me, she really loves kitten posters." "This was a mistake." "Hey, hey, Fitzroy, come on." "Hey, come on." "Tell me, what's going on?" "Somebody left a dead body on my doorstep." "There's another vampire in this city." "And it's just getting started." "?" "Under the circumstances it made the most sense." "No, you totally compromised the evidence." "I preserved the body to the best of my ability." "No, you should have called the police, that's what you should have done." "And that's why I came to you." "You know my life doesn't bear scrutiny." "Isn't your job to serve and protect?" "Actually, I don't think that motto was meant to extend to the undead." "There's another vampire out there, and this one is killing people." "Detective..." "I need your help, unless you'd rather me handle this on my own." "Okay." "Fine, what's done is done." "Let's just move on, shall we?" "What happened?" "This is what I know." "The body appeared at my door around 9:00 p.m." "She was already dead." "The neck had been savaged and she was drained of all her blood." "So...what?" "This is the vampire equivalent of a gift basket?" "It wasn't a present." "Vampires are solitary predators." "It's in our nature." "It keeps us from over populating and depleting our hunting grounds." "He wants my territory." " Does Vicki know about this?" " No." "And I don't want her to know." "I've been targeted and that puts everyone who's close to me in danger." "Oh, gee..." "Thanks for bringing me into this." "Okay, if only one of you can work this town, how do I know I'm not going to like this other vampire more than you?" "Because I'm the devil you know, detective." "Yes, you are." "Okay." "Two conditions." "One, we find this thing, we put it down." "I wouldn't have it any other way." " What's the second?" " Full disclosure." "I ask you something, you answer." "I want to know what colour your underwear is, you tell me." "You got it?" "Red." "Silk, actually." "I'm not actually asking,Fitzroy." "When do we start?" "As soon as somebody phones the police about a dead body." "Got a quarter?" "I feel so bad for that Evan guy." "He blames himself for Gene's death." "Does he have reason to?" "Typical Friday night." "Go train in from the burbs." "Burger and a movie after the Underground." "They must have up to something." "Come on, you don't go out for a burger and wind up as the main course at an insect buffet." "What are you thinking?" "Well, if it was an allergic reaction, then maybe it was something they took." "Were they into drugs?" "No, didn't seem like the type." "Yeah, people don't always seem like the type, that's why you have to ask." "You think I screwed up?" "Coreen, you're the investigator, right?" "So you have to consider all the options." "If it's any consolation, if he was doing drugs, chances are he wouldn't have been honest with you about it." "But what makes you think he was doing drugs?" "Because they dress in black?" "Oh, yeah, yeah, I always judge a person's character based entirely on their wardrobe decisions." "If Lexia knew that drugs were for sale in her place..." "No, I know her." "Look, never let your emotions cloud your investigation." "Because you're the only one that can do that, rit?" "Look, Lexia is not involved." "Believe me." "Are you sure you wouldn't want to wait for my report, Detective Celluci?" "Doc, you and I both know that what you find isn't going to end up in any report." "Meet Jane Doe." "I see." "Extensive t rauma to the neck." "The flesh looks torn, doesn't it?" "Yes, most likely by hand." "I thought they used their...you know." "Well, if that's the case then maybe we should be talking to Vicki." "Well, you see she's so busy these days" "I hate to see her torn in too many different directions, so let's not." " I understand." " Good." " Hi, guys." " Oh, hey." "Say, did you get Gene Hansen's toxicology report back?" "I'm looking for any evidence of narcotics." "I'll check and see when the results are due in." "Okay, thanks." "Hey." "What's up?" "You working that beetle mania case?" "Yes, I am." "I have reason to believe the club owner might have known about drug dealing in the establishment." "If the drugs led to the kid's death, she could be held responsible." "Uh-huh, you got it." "Speaking of which, I need you to check some names for me - her and her staff." "See if they had any priors." " Do you mind running them?" " Sure, let's go." "Yeah, I'll even throw in a little lunch, maybe a few..." "Wait a minute." "It usually takes a few minutes of sparkling repartee before you'll give up anything." "I'm trying to be nice." "Is that a crime?" "No, no." "Who's the customer?" "Hey, we doing this or not?" "Let's go." "All right already." "Oh, glasses." "Hi." "You know...when you're around someone long enough, you can spot their little clues, their 'tells'." "And this is apropos of...?" "Well, I was in the morgue today and Mike was there, you know, investigating that Jane Doe, and he offered to help me gather information, no questions asked." "That was nice of him." "Yeah, he's never done that." "Not in the ten years I've know him." "Well, there's a first time for everything." "Hm, apparently, like you hanging up on me last night." "I have to get some pages to my editor." "Henry, what's going on?" "Vicki, I've been thinking..." "It might be a good idea if we don't see each other for a while." "Oh." "I have to focus on my work." "Yeah, sure." "Whatever." "I have to go." "You, um...p, nn..g on bringing your portfolio with all those pages in it?" "Thank you." "Lexia Chang had no priors." "Told you." "However, Mohadevan did find an unknown substance in Gene Hansen's blood." "That doesn't mean she's selling drugs." "All right then, spin me a better theory." "Something supernatural." "It used to be that would be my last suspicion." "Noit's my 'go to'." "All right, hit me." "The bugs there are loe of references from myths." "There's the curse of the locusts from the Bible, and there are spells specific to insect infestation." "And Beelzebub, that's often referred to as Lord of the Flies." "Why did it go after Gene Hansen?" "They running some kind of black magic thing down at the club?" "Goth's are sometimes into Wicken, not black magic." "Listen Coreen, I know you don't want to hear this, but somebody is into something nasty down there, whether it's drugs or black magic or whatever." "Chances are your friend knows about it." "Are you coming with me or not?" "Molech." "Molech, do you want another drink?" "It's Evan." "No thanks." "Sorry about Dante." "Gene." "They figure out what killed him?" "What does it matter?" "He's dead, right?" "There have been people around here asking questions." "You haven't said anything, have you?" "Of course not." "Good boy!" "No thanks" "I'm just trying to make you feel better." "Yeah, well, it didn't do much for Gene." "You don't think this is what killed him?" "He was doing a lot." "Yeah and he was sleeping it off in an alley." "Who knows what could have happened to him." "Hey, I know how we can make each other feel better." "I have a new piercing." "Where are you?" "There's evidence to indicate that Gene Hansen died of anaphylactic shock." "The pathologist found an unknown substance in his bloodstream." "Yeah, an unknown substance." "I need you to be straight with me." "Are you selling drugs here?" "I'm not even going to dignify that with a response." "Coreen, tell her I'm not selling drugs." "You have to tell her, whichever way it is." "You have to tell the truth." "If Gene died from something he bought here, you are responsible." "Are you selling drugs?" "No!" "And we are done here." "You said you could help me." "You call this help?" "She's practically accusing me of murder." "We're just trying to get to the bottom of this." "She's just the same as all the other mundanes." "They see the way we dress and they think we're freaks." "She's really just trying to help." "It's okay, Coreen, I see who you're siding with -your minimum wage paycheck." "I thought you knew me." "I thought you understood the dark beauty of what I'm trying to create here." "I do!" "Lexia!" "Hey, Coreen." "You came into this with an attitude about my friend and me and our lifestyle." "You were never looking to help her." "That is not true!" "Oh come on, think about it, Vicki, you can't ever trust anyone, can you?" "Hey, excuse me, excuse me." "Oh my god!" "Eew!" "Yuck!" "Eew!" "Get off him!" "911?" "Yeah, we need an ambulance to the Underground Club." "It's at Queen West and Crawford." "Thank you." " Gotcha." " Good idea." "I'm going to take them to Dr. Mohadevan." "Oh, unless of course, you want to do it." "No, you're perfectly capable." "We can't risk letting Vicki find out about this other vampire." "You don't understand the potential fallout from this conflict." "You just love to dramatize everything, don't you?" "This is a two-bit turf war, nothing more." "This is much more than that, detective." "Fin.." "inside." "I'm all ears." "In the late 1700s a vampire ensconced in a Polish village found himself under siege by another vampire who had set out to take over his territory." "And don't tell me." "They both wound up killing ach other." "That would have been preferable." "The newcomer methodically disassembled the life the first vampire had so painstakingly created." "He killed friends and acquaintances, lovers." "Those closest to him were the first to die." "Which one were you?" "The one still alive." "The rest of the village?" "You're not exactly winning me over here, Fitzroy." "Just be careful how you act around her." "The less suspicion we arise in her the better." "If the other vampire believes she's with me," "Vicki will most certainly die." "Well, speaking of aroused suspicions, do you often stand her up to go meet with your editor in the middle of the night?" "Point taken." "What do you have?" "Her name was Gabriel Claremont." "That's it?" "A name?" "Yeah, and it's more than I had a few hours ago." "But now that I do have a name, I get to meet with her parents and tell them that their child was murdered for no apparent reason while trying to find out what they know of her last 48 hours alive." "That's what I get to do." "Then I'll leave you to that, detective." "Keep in mind Fitzroy, I'm not doing this for you." "I don't even like you." "Since we are affording each other the courtesy of bluntness," "I don't like you either." "Vicki seems to trust you with her life." "That's good enough for me." "Any luck with the insects?" "I sent them to the morgue this morning." "Dr. Mohadevan is sending them to an entomologist at the university for identification." "What about the second victim?" "Evan Crane has a puncture wound on his arm." "I was just talking to him the night before and now he's dead." "I know, but you're just going to have to put that aside for now." "Okay, tell me about the injections." "Well, it's either that or a sting - her words, not mine." "So it's bugs or drugs." "Maybe it's both." "Okay, now you're losing me." "No, listen." "What if there is a substance common to both victims that is somehow attractive to the bugs." " Like some kind of pheromone?" " Yeah, maybe it's being sold as a party drug down at the club." "And you think whoever's selling the drug doesn't even know it?" "No, I didn't say that." "But why?" "Let's start with who." "It is feasible." "I know that wasp venom has a pheromone in it that signals other members of the hive to attack." "Of course one question still stands." "If this is a pheromone, then how did it get into their bloodstreams?" "Are you kidding me?" "People will try anything if they think it's goingto get them high." "Remember a few years ago, people were licking the backs of cane toads?" "Do I!" "Awful things." "So, this substance, it could ostensibly be attracting the insects." "It is possible, but to be sure" "I need to be able to run some tests with a pure sample." "All right, I'll get on it." "Oh, hey, did you have any luck with that thing you were working on the other day?" "What thing?" "The Jane Doe, you and Mike." "Yes, we were able to get an ID off her dental records." "You going to tell me or what?" "Why wouldn't I tell you?" "It's, uh..." "Gabriel Claremont." "Oh, okay." "The thing I'm not supposed to tell you is that this may have something to do with Henry Fitzroy." "Oh, trust me." "According to her agent, Miss Claremont had a photo shoot three days ago." "Nobody's heardthrom her since." "So the last person to see her would be the photographer." "I'm still working on that." "I did however find the address to the studio." "Do you want to go check it out?" " I'll get my coat." " Okay." "Oh, one other thing - if this photographer does lead us to the vampire," "how do we stop it?" " I'll take care of that." " Oh, really?" "What?" "Surely Detective you don't have a problem with vampire and vampire violence?" "What if this vampire is stronger than you?" "Come on, Henry, anything is possible here, okay?" "I just want to know how to kill the thing." "All right, I swear that if I ever try to kill you again," "I won't use any method you tell me about." "Strangely enough detective, I believe you." "Thank you." "A stake through the heart always works... sunlight, emolation." "Come on, I've seen the movies, give me something special here." "What?" "Like a secret word that makes our heads explode?" "That would work." "Is there one?" "No, but decapitation's always effective." "Watch where you swing that thing." "If we are confronted with the other vampire it will attack me first." "How can you be so sure?" "It won't find you any kind of threat, and we can use that distraction to our advantage." "Hey, I'm the one wearing the badge here, remember?" "And I'm the vampire." "If you want the killing to stop, you'll do as I say." "Oh, hey, what about holy water?" "Shall we?" "Grenfield?" " Live photo release forms." " Yeah." "Let's see what we find here." "All right, looks like your basic super model diet." "Diet pills, vodka, cigarettes." "Gabriel." "At least this confirms that she was here." " No sign of a struggle." " No sign of anything." " What about blood?" " No." "All right." "Well, I guess we're done here." "Somebody's coming." "Hey!" "Hi!" "If you guys were planning a party, you could have at least put me on the guest list." "All right, who's going to tell me what's going on?" " It's best if you don't know." " Best if I don't know what?" "Telling you would kind of defeat the purpose of 'it's best if you don't know'." "Okay, you two have been skulking around the city for two days." "I want to know what's going on." "I can't believe neither of them would tell me what was going on!" "This is a little hard to picture." "Mike and Henry are hanging out.." "No, not just hanging out, they're working together." "They're investigating that fashion model murder." "You know what drives me crazy?" "They didn't even want me involved." "They didn't want my help, nothing." "Yeah, there's nothing worse than when you find out somebody close to you doesn't trust you." "It's not the same thing, Coreen." "Of course not." "So what are you going to do?" "Well, we still have a case to work." "That might be a little difficult since our client isn't talking to us anymore." "It doesn't mean we drop the case." "Listen, two men are still dead." "The police aren't treating this as a homicide." "You still think it has something to do with that drug." "Well, unless there's some kind of insect infestation that we don't know about, the drug is the only thing those two deaths have in common." "We need to get a pure sample of that drug so we can find out what the hell it is." "You're going to have to go in." "Me?" "You don't think I'll mess up your investigation?" "Coreen, I trust you." "Clearly you're the one suited to this." "I don't know that world." "To be honest I wasn't really serious about it to begin with." "Is this your way of apologizing or are you just trying to avoid having your hair dyed black?" "Is it okay if it's a little of both?" "All right, listen." "There is one condition." "You're going to have to wear this transmitter." "I'll be able to hear you at all times." " Okay." " All right, you have one hour." "If you don't make contact during that time," "I want you to get out." "If you look nervous, you're going to draw heat, so be careful." "If you do get into trouble" "I want you to say, "my mother is not going to like this,"" "and I will come right in." "I know what I'm doing." "All right, don't accept any drinks from anyone, and don't leave your drink unattended." "If anyone gives you drugs, take them, but do not take them." "Do you understand?" "And I will look both ways before I cross the road, and I will floss after every meal, and I'll wear a sweater just in case it gets cold." "I'll be fine." "Well, you better be or I'm going to kick your ass." "I'll meet you back here at midnight." "I have to run an errand." "Hey." "Aww..." "Did Mike stand you up?" "Vicki, if you're here to grill me again, I just..." "Listen, Coreen's going to go undercover tonight and I need someone who can blend to the Goth scene, keep an eye on her." "I can't." "Not tonight." "Henry, there are two men dead and I think there's going to be more." "I need your help." "And I'm working on something that could prove to be just as dangerous," " for both of us." " I know." "That's why we should be working together, right?" " We're supposed to be partners." " Yes!" "Just not tonight." "Okay." "Sure." "Can't blame a girl for trying, right?" "You know if you feel like it, we'll be at the Underground later ...you know, if it's not too much trouble." "Christina, what do you want from me?" "I'm in." "Over." "Aw, come on, Coreen, it's a one-way radio." "Hey, have you heard the good news?" "Hey." "I'm looking to score." "You know, party favours." "Come on, Coreen." "Do you want angel tears or crow?" "Angel tears?" "Come on, come on..." "angel tears is acid, crow is cocaine." "Come on." "I'm actually looking for something a little different." "Evan told me about it, but I can't remember the name." "Venom?" "That's it." "Venom." "Do you know where I can find any?" "Something I said?" "I've got a lead." "Over." "Oh!" "Wynter." "Hey, I hear you're looking for some venom." "Yeah, do you know where I can get some?" "Um-hum... ?" "First time's free." " You don't have to do this." " You're wrong." " I do." " Ugh...oh...!" "Let's be on our way." " Why?" " Well, didn't you know?" "Your friend has a powerful enemy." "It's open season on her and I wanted to be the one to do it." "VICKI, IT'S ME!" "I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HEAR THIS!" "IT'S WINTER!" "SHE'S SOME KIND OF DEMON." "WATCH OUT!" "You're too late to save your friend." "I'm over here!" "Nope!" "Here!" " What are you?" " What I am." " You know." " Demon." "There are all kinds of us, with all kinds of hungers." "What are you doing slumming it down here?" "Nothing is without purpose." "You want me, right?" "Why'd you kill the kids?" "I hook them on the bottle, then move them up to the spike." "That's when I feed all their sweet juices." "I had to sacrifice a few to get your attention." "If your kind get too much of the bug in them, my little ones go crazy and they feed, too." "That's kind of a win-win, right?" "That tickled." "Darkness is waiting." "Let it wait." "It'll take a lot more than that to beat me, bitch!" "Henry?" "Sorry I'm late." "Sweet ride." "All right, Mov, thanks." "Well, Mohadevan says it was some kind of insect venom although it's unlike anything she's ever seen." "It's a good thing you didn't get too much of that in you." "She said you should just keep taking the antihistamines for the next 24 hours and you should be fine." "That thing used me and my friend to get to you." "I almost got you killed." "You were right not to trust me." "Hey, hey, hey, hey." "No, that's not the point." "You did fine..." "all right?" "You have a little work to do on the whole trust thingy." "What do you think?" "Is it me?" "You just rest, okay?" "Just, take it easy." "So what the hell was this thing again?" "A demon bug?" "It's actually the other way around, a bug demon." "Well, I think you actually both might be right." "ou two, you're just like peas in a pod lateju." "Hey, you know what?" "I am so ready to take my pension and retire somewhere else sweetheart." " What did it want?" " Apparently it wanted me." "It was killing those kids to draw me in." "It's dead now, so you don't have to worry about that anymore." "Which means I am free to help you two find that vampire you're been looking for." "Oh yeah, yeah, I figured it out all by myself." "I can do that." "I'm a private detective." " NO!" " Henry's right." " You're out, too." " Hey, wait a minute, Henry." "We had a deal." "I help you, we take it down together." "The deal's changed." "I don't want anyone else to die." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "Who's going to die?" "Since when did you become altruistic?" "What the hell's going on?" "It was a mistake to involve you." "Wait a second." "You know who it is, don't you?" "Anyone else dies Henry and I am holding you personally responsible." "I work better alone." "Stay out of my way." "She's too powerful." "Henry!" "That's great!" "I mean that's just great." "So now I've got two of them running around the city." "He's doing it to protect us." "She's been watching him." "She's probably been watching him all night." "She?" "And he's figured out who it is and he's protecting her." "The woman behind the vampire..." "Christina." "And who the hell is Christina?" "Trouble."

"One of my stranger abilities is that when I need to find someone... like right now, the creepy guy in the diner," "I can randomly wander around, and pretty quickly, I'll run into him." "This is a talent for which I have no name." "Stormy calls it psychic magnetism." "Super Summer Sale." "That's Tom Jedd." "He was my little league coach." "Been hanging around Tire World for years, although I don't know why." "His death was not caused by a defective tire." "Such a beautiful girl" "There is something about a dead man trying to get a laugh... that just bugs me." "Perhaps because it suggests that even in death... we still have a pathetic need to be liked." "As well as the ever-present ability to humiliate ourselves." "Where are you?" "Where are you?" "MANAGER Stormy." "When I finally have my own shop, no stupid uniforms." "I think you look adorable." "Adorable?" "Really?" "Puppies are adorable." "Why are you here so early?" "You missing me?" "Always." "But I'm here looking for a guy." "A creepy guy." "Well, with you, there can be no other kind." "My psychic magnetism brought me here." " That guy?" " That guy." "You are better than a bloodhound." "What is that thing on his head?" "Hair." "It looks like a yellow yarmulke." "No, it's hair." "Any of those bodachs with him?" "More than I've ever seen before." "You're not shivering 'cause of cold ice cream, are you?" "I'm gonna see what this guy's up to." " Stormy, wait, wait." " You, sit." "You think those fish are up to something?" "All fish do are eat, excrete, and fornicate all in the same water." "Fish are disgusting." "Oh, I never thought so till now." "Your creepy friend is buying two gallons of the summer special." "Are the flavors significant?" "That's your department." "I'm just reporting in." "Cherry chocolate coconut chunk?" "Coconut cherry chocolate chunk." "I didn't realize the grammar was so rigid in the ice-cream business." "Well, now you know." "This is bad for business." "Why?" "No one can see em but me." "Well, how could a bunch of slithering, evil spirits... and guy who look like fungus be good for business?" "Fungus Man scares me." "Can't you forget him?" "I have a gift." "It wouldn't have been given to me if I wasn't supposed to use it." " Maybe it's not a gift." " It's a gift." "I still got the box it came in." "Here." "Take my keys." "And please show up for dinner alive... because, remember, I can't see the dead." "If someone is going to cause extreme violence... especially on a massive scale, which this is starting to look like... bodachs will not leave him until the last ounce of blood has been spilled." "But they lost interest in Fungus Man." "Winstons, Camels, and Marlboros." "Fungus Man has friends." "Oh, now would be a good time to run." "Bodachs." " Hey." " Loop me in, odd one." "I think I just achieved a personal best in the "jump and gasp" event." "Don't be such a scaredy-cat." "I found a gateway to hell." "I'm walking back to it right now." "Most people would have the good sense to run away from it." " Well, I'm not like most people." " Not in the least." "It's gone now." "Or hidden." "So, is Fungus Bob a man or something new in the neighborhood?" "I don't know." "This place looks like some kind of shrine." "Theodore Kaczynski Arrested and..." "Bundy Claims..." "Police Believe The Number To Be..." "Cannibal Killer." "Shrine of guys that like to make belts out of women's nipples." "What?" "Who is this guy?" "His real name is Robert Robertson." "Well, hello Fungus Bob." "Did you check the refrigerator for any severed heads?" "No, I didn't open his refrigerator." "Where else would you expect to find severed heads?" "I wasn't looking for any." "Stormy, Stormy, someone's here." "I got to go." "We don't know what this guy's planning to do yet." "You know what?" "Let me ask him to wait outside until I'm finished." "I can feel that." "Wait a minute." "What's today's date?" "August 14th." "The page to August 15th is torn out of his calendar." "That's tomorrow." "What happens tomorrow?" " Hold on." "Hold on." " Get out of there, Oddie." "Maybe he has a file on himself, you know?" "Unsolved murders and atrocities." "Chief and I could figure out a way to entrap him." "So, what's in it?" "Is he a mass murderer?" "No." "But I think he wants to be." "Hey, Bob!" "Robert, where the hell are you?" "I want my gun back!" "Oh, shit." "Damn dogs." "Shut up, you hear me?" "Shut up you damn dogs!" "One of these days, bang!" "You hear me?" "Wyatt is out back here burning some perfectly good steaks." "Thanks, Karla." "Chief." "Odd, I hope you haven't come here to dampen my evening." "I share your hope, sir." "Been communing with the dead?" "It's not about who's dead, sir." "It's about who soon might be." "We call him Fungus Bob." "Yeah, I saw him enter the grill, but he didn't strike me as suspicious." "Just unfortunate." "Oh, you don't have the advantage of seeing his fan club, sir." "I guarantee you hell on earth is coming to Pico Mundo." "You know sometimes you expect me to walk a dangerously narrow line." "That's just because I've got such great respect for your balance, sir." "Son that sounds perilously close to being bullshit." "There's a little bit of bullshit in it." "A little." "But it's mostly sincere." "Odd this is one of our newer officers..." " Bern Eckles." " Oh, hi." "We met yesterday." "Good collar, that Harlo character." "I can't believe I once dated that perv." "And of course you know Lysette." "Bern, I want you to do a little DMV check on.." "this guy Odd was telling me about." "I think Officer Eckles is a little worried" "I might try to hook up with you." "Karla and the chief are trying to set us up... him being new to the force and all." "It's like cleaning fluid with sugar in it." "Which reminds me, how's your dad?" "He's selling pieces of the moon online, vacation home sites." "Is that legal?" "He certainly doesn't guarantee the quality of the air." "And how's it going with Bronwen?" "She prefers "Stormy."" "Who wouldn't?" "Did you used to play piano?" "I did, yeah, for years." "How'd you know that?" "'Cause you have really beautiful hands." "I bet you play like a dream." "You know Odd, you're a strange one." "Yeah, I can't disagree with that." "Bit of an oddball." "That was my nickname all through high school." "But you do have your charms." "That's what Stormy says." "Personally, I find it rather dubious." "You know, if you ever decide to give cooking lessons... you should give me a call." "I bet you really know how to whisk." "Sure, yeah, with scrambled eggs and stuff." "But, pancakes, you really, you got to fold em." "But, mostly, I just fry, fry, fry, you know?" "Hey, Odd." "We got to talk." "Robertson moved here five months ago." "Before that, he was living with his mother." "Inherited a shitload when she died last year." "Clean record, though." "Not even a speeding ticket." "How'd his mother die?" "Officer Eckles is checking on that right now." "But otherwise, I got squat on your Fungus Bob." "I can't hold him." "All right, well, you do agree that he's strange and suspicious, right?" "If strange and suspicious were enough to put someone in jail... you'd already be there." "You're gonna watch him right?" "Only because you're never wrong," "I'll put on a tail on him and watch his house." "You go and have your dinner with Stormy." "She's the one." "You are one smooth operator, Odd." "She must love to hear you say that." "I love to hear me say it." "You better not be hauling any dead guys on my scooter." " Dead don't ride scooters." " Just saying." "I'd have to scrub the seat for hours." "Destroying the pleather." "I see you left your hormone spigot running, griddle boy." "Crank it shut." "This is a church." "I know it's a church." "I have a brain, you know." "You know why I call you Pooh Bear?" "Because I'm so cuddly." "Because his head is full of stuffin'" "Now listen to me, odd one." "I don't want you going back to that creepy room again." "It doesn't exist anymore." "Well, don't go looking for it hoping it'll come back." " Never crossed my mind." " Yes, it did." " Yes, it did." " It is a gate to the underworld... and you are forbidden by me to ever play in it again." "It's hard enough living with a guy who helps dead people without having to trek all the way down to hell to pull his ass out of the fire." "Since when are we living together?" "We will be." "Oh, I guess I didn't think "Let's put a pin in it" meant "Yes."" "You have to learn to listen with more than just your ears." "Stormy, what body part am I supposed to listen with?" "Right." "My heart." "I'm supposed to listen with my heart." "Listen with my heart." "I will do something big to improve our financial situation." " Your idea about selling car tires?" " Bigger." "And what, from your perspective, is bigger than tires?" " Shoes." " Shoes?" "Yeah, think about it." "A family of 5 might have 2 cars but they have 10 feet." "Not only that, but they need different kinds of shoes." "Dress shoes, winkle pickers, high-tops, low-tops, running shoes" "But not you." "You have 5 pairs of the same sneakers." " Like I said." " You're not like most people." "Not in the least." "Do you want crackers with your cheese?" "We have a problem." "Crackers aren't a problem, just a choice." " Come on." " What?" " Come on!" "It's Fungus Bob!" " What!" "He followed me." "I don't know how." "Shit!" "Come on!" "Come on!" " It's him?" "You're sure?" " Sure, I'm sure!" "You don't think the two of us could kick his ass?" "Not this guy." " Come on!" " The sacristy!" "The back door." "Come on." "Come on." "Wait!" "Wait." "Come here." "We're heading towards danger, not away from it." "I can feel it." "It's like he's everywhere." "He's in front of us." "He's behind us." "Come on." "Let's go back the way we came." " Let's call the cops." " No time." "I have a better plan." "You stay here." "I'm gonna run over there and open the door." "If he doesn't lunge through, you run that way." "If, however, he does lunge through, you run this way and I'll try to follow you." "Some plan, odd one." "It's the best I've got." "Full of stuffing'." "Does that mean "Get on with it" or "Up yours"?" "Unbelievable." "Right." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Chief, it's Stormy." "I'm sorry to drop in on date night, but here's Odd." "Sir, if you send a car real quick to St. Bart's... you may be able to catch Robertson trashing the sacristy... or even the whole church." "What was he doing vandalizing St. Bart's?" "He was trying to catch me and Stormy in the belfry." "What were you and Stormy doing in the belfry?" "Well, we were having a picnic, sir." "I'm sure that makes sense to you." "My guy at Robertsons house said he still hasn't been home yet." "Yeah, because apparently Bob's been too busy following me." "Oh, one second." " Where are you going?" " To get some food." "How can you think of dinner right now?" "Because I'm hungry." "Look, Odd." "Vandalism, big deal." "I thought you said this guy was gonna bring on the apocalypse." "Yes, sir, on August 15th, which is less than 3 hours away." "Trust me, that is the day that Pico Mundo will never forget." "Lyle!" "Oh." "Hi, Odd." "Hi Stormy." " Hi, Ozzie." " Hey, Oz." "Odd." " I'll be right back." " Lyle, you know that" "I know guys who know guys, right?" "Right." " Right." "So if you guys don't stop messing up my takeout orders.." "you're the one that's gonna get taken out." "Get it?" " Got it." " Good." "Oz, Oz, watch your blood pressure." "My blood-Hey, Odd... my blood has got cholesterol molecules the size of marshmallows in it... and if it wasn't for a little righteous outrage every now and again my arteries would completely collapse." "I finished that trinket you asked for." "Perfect." "Wow, Oz, what exactly is this?" "It's a steel heart 6 inches in diameter, like you said." "No, I said..." ""A piece of steel 6 inches in diameter to go over a heart."" "Well, man, I embellished, you know?" "I get in the moment." "I mean, why would Stormy wanna wear that?" "It's not for Stormy." "I keep having this image of a... a bullet going through a heart." "It's perfect." "Thank you." "Hey, Chief." " This place is trashed." " Yeah, it was Bob Robertson, sir." "I'm sure you're right." "You always are." "But he was long gone." "Didn't leave a single print." "Even the chalices were spotless." "Weird, huh?" "I'll give my psychic magnetism a try to see if I can find him again." "Take Stormy home first." " Like hell he will!" " I heard that." "He heard that." "Chief, you know I love Oddie desperately... so madly I would cut off my hand if that made any sense as proof of love." "And now I find out there's a guy trying to kill him." "No one was trying to kill me, Stormy." "What, you think he was hitting on you?" "You know, this is the craziest conversation I've ever had." "Odd you're a fountain of crazy conversations." "A geyser." "Time feels like a powerful black wave... that wishes to crash down and engulf us." "I must run faster." "Why did I drive here?" "Oh, my God." "Oddie, your nightmare... the slaughter of the bowling alley people, is it happening here tonight?" " Now?" " No." "The employees here wear green and gold shirts." " Now?" " No." "No, no, I checked this place." "The employees here wear green and gold shirts." "The employees here wear green and gold shirts." " So?" " So, in my dreams, the victims wear red-and-black shirts with little black nbowling balls on em." "And I don't see Fungus Bob's car anywhere." "You think the slaughter of the bowling alley people and Fungus Bob are connected?" "Yeah." "Yeah, yeah, I know they are." "They got new uniforms." "Don't you dare." "Oh, Wyatt." "You said that whatever was gonna happen wouldn't happen until tomorrow." " Yes, sir, but you see" " I still got an hour." "I know, sir." "I just want to keep you up to date." "I think there's a good chance that" "Bob Robertson might come to Green Moon Alley... to do a little more than just hook some balls." "Maybe you wanna send a guy out here to, you know, keep an eye out?" "Any of those bodarch things around?" "Bodachs." "No, sir, but they will show up when he does." "Yeah-yeah." "All right." "I'll send a guy right over." "Something doesn't feel right." "Something's wrong." "Are you nuts?" "Everything's wrong." "There's going to be a massacre... and I'll bet you it's going to happen here." "No, all we know is it's the same uniforms, so it's the same group of people getting killed." "But tomorrow, any of them could be anywhere." "God, I'm missing something." "I'm missing a piece of the puzzle." "I need to see Viola." "Evening!" " Odd Thomas, right?" " Yeah." "Miss Lewellyn." "The chief sent me." "So you know this guy, right?" "I've seen him a couple times today but no, I don't know him." "Yeah, chief says, If you see him reach for his pocket he's probably not going for a breath mint." " Wise words from a wise man." " Yeah." "So what exactly makes this guy so suspicious and dangerous?" "He came into the grill for lunch today." "That's it?" "You served him lunch?" " He was weird." " How weird?" "He had weird friends." " He has friends?" " Weird ones." "How weird?" "Very weird." "And a couple hours ago, he got very aggressive with me." "Wait." "A couple hours ago, this guy, Bob Robertson got aggressive with you?" "Look, the creep made a pass at me and Odd told him to back off... and the creep got, you know, creepy." "Creepy." "Hey, Simon, I've been dying to know what this tattoo means." "Do you mind?" "Well, Stormy... when I was a teenager, I was a mess." "If it wasn't for the police academy and the good Lord." "Let's just say this tattoo is a crude obscenity... that I'd rather not say the meaning of." "Well, what a gentleman you are." "Nighty-night, Simon." "Night." "You manipulate me like that?" "Good heavens odd one, I manipulate you every day." " You do?" " Yes." "Gently, of course, and with great affection and you always like it." "Oh, I do?" "You are so adorable." " I'm not adorable." " Oh, please." "Puppies, puppies, little puppies, are adorable." "You and puppies, totally adorable." "I had a feeling I'd see you tonight." " It's about my dream, isn't it?" " You said you were shot." "My skull was all whacked, my eyeball swollen." "You know dreams have nothing to do with the real future, Vi." "We've already been over that territory, but here you are." "Where are you in your dream?" "No place." "A dream place." "Fuzzy." "Are you planning on going bowling?" "Bowling?" "Did you hit your head?" "What are your plans tomorrow?" "Levanna's birthday is Sunday, but tips are real good on a Sunday so I was gonna work it and celebrate her birthday tomorrow instead." "A lot of people died in that dream of yours, huh Odd?" "Yeah, they did." "Your dreams ever come true?" "Sometimes." "I thought so." "Close your eyes, Vi." "In your dream what do you see?" " What do you hear?" " All right." "I'm running." "There's suddenly lots of flashing lights with... old-fashioned kiddie music." "And then I hear a big crowd, a roaring one." "Like in a big football stadium." "And then there's the sound of water, gushing water." "How do you die?" "It's like someone hit me with a baseball bat, quick, like twice." "I scream and fall to my hands and knees." "My hands slip, slippery." "What are you slipping on?" "Oh, God." "Blood." "There's blood everywhere." "What's under the blood, under your hands?" "A floor, grass, concrete?" "I'm staring at the dead man." "Do you know him?" "Do you recognize him?" "Oh, dear Lord, Odd." "So many dead bodies." "Odd, you have to stop this from happening." "Oh, Odd, is there any hope this could pass?" "If you listen to Oddie, you'll be just fine." "No." "Fate is not a straight road." "There are many forks in it." "You have the free will to choose which one you take, but... sometimes it will bend around... and bring you straight back to that same stubborn fate." "I just wanna check on the girls." "They're so beautiful, Viola." "And they're such good girls." "They're lucky to have you." "That's what everyone says." "Odd?" " Anything wrong?" " No." "No, no, no." "I just wanted to make sure the girls were safe." "And with the bars on the windows" "I taught them how to work the emergency release myself." "Well, looks like everything's a-okay in here." "Step one, do not stay here." "I'll go to my grandma's." "Don't tell your grandma you're coming." "Don't tell the girls where you're going." "I don't want you overheard." " By who?" " By anyone." "Or anything." "Just go with it." "Step two is don't go bowling if for some reason you get the itch." "I can't believe we're leaving those horrid things... hovering around those sweet girls." "They won't hurt em." "They just want to smell em before they die." "God." "Look, Stormy, there's nothing I can do about bodachs, okay?" "And right now I wouldn't even if I could." "I need em to help me see the danger coming so I can maybe prevent it." "And when they eventually find out that you can see them?" "Oddie, will you ever leave here?" "Well, I sure hope I don't end up like Tom Jedd hanging out at Tire World." "I meant while you're alive." "Hey." "Hey, Stormy." "Hey, hey." "Look, look." "Look, Stormy, if you want us to go, I'll go." "It's not that." "It's" "I am just so scared for you, Oddie." "So scared, ever since I saw that creep Fungus Bob." "I'm sorry." "I just" "I love you so much." "My Pooh Bear." "I promise you on the other side of tomorrow..." "I will have all my stuffing intact." "That must be for you." "Oh, God!" "I heard the scream." "She ran across my yard." "I saw the dogs following her." "I grabbed my gun." "I shot the dogs." "It's on." "All right." "Here's what we know." "Lysette left my barbecue with Officer Eckles at around 7:45." "He dropped her off at home clocked in at 8:00, and was manning the front desk when he got the call." "So somewhere between 8:00 and midnight," "Lysette was whacked in the eye and then tied up and gagged and hauled all the way the hell out here and had two Rottweilers sicked on her." "Hey, Chief." "What's with the guy who shot the dogs?" "His name's Kevin Goss." "He was teaching a class from 6:00 to 10:00... then he went to Starbucks till they closed at midnight." "He got home about two minutes too late." "Sir?" "I've actually seen those Rottweilers before." "They belong to Bob Robertson." "All right!" "I want an A. P. B. put out on this guy now!" " Find him!" " Yes, sir." "Simon, I want you to go back over to Robertson's house." "I'll have a search warrant in the morning as soon as the courthouse opens." "Sir, no offense, but I wasted most of the day staking out that house." "Then I went to the bowling alley and stayed there until they closed." "Nothing happened." "Nobody showed." "It was a complete waste of my time." "Sir, are we sure this Robertson character isn't just a wild goose chase?" "Exactly where were you between the hours of 8:00 and 10:00?" " He was with me the whole time." " Just ease up." "Now go check the house again and ask around about the dogs." "Yes, sir." "You two." "Home." "Go, now!" "I think you should wear this." "Try not to laugh." "Oddie, you are not responsible for every death you can't prevent." "She died." "And if Fungus Bob was her killer, I was either slow or stupid." "Choose your weapon." "Why would Fungus Bob kill Lysette?" "What's the connection?" "It makes no sense." "It doesn't have to make sense." "It just has to satisfy some sick urge." "Maybe he's warming up." "I think the chief just sent some detectives to protect you." "I don't need protecting." "Actually I think it might just be surveillance." "Fungus Bob followed me to the church." "I bet the chief is hoping he'll sniff me out again." "If the chief is using you as bait... he should at least ask if you mind having a hook in your ass." "Oh, man, I got to stay focused." "Good." "You keep an eye on my girl." "August 15th had begun." "Time was running out." "Hey, Bob." "You're not planning on getting up, are ya?" "But if you're dead... who's gonna massacre Pico Mundo?" "Gun on the floor, dead guy in my tub." "I know a setup when I see one." "But if I call the police, the chief will have to arrest me... and I won't be able to stop the catastrophe from happening." "Oh, my God!" "Oh, you are creeping me out." "You're freezing cold, Bob." "Your rigor mortis is way advanced." "You know... the chief said you didn't leave any fingerprints." "He didn't leave a single print." "And Stormy never actually saw you." " Come on!" " What?" "Because you were already dead." "And the whole time in the church, you were actually a pissed-off poltergeist." "I think the last time I saw Fungus Bob alive... was when he left his house right before I broke into it." "He's been haunting me ever since, blaming me for his death." "Why he blames me or who the hell killed him is a little hazy." "If I'm caught, I'll either be arrested for murder or rolling what looks like the biggest joint ever." "It's just me, Rosalia!" "Damn it." "Oh, give me a break." "It's just me, again, Rosalia." "I'm gonna borrow your car again, okay?" "If I'm being framed, why the police have failed to arrive and arrest me... or the murderer hasn't come to kill me, I do not know." "All right, Bob, where can I put you to quietly decompose for a while... before someone finds you and has a new love of Jesus scared into em?" "Interesting story, Bob." "After the federal government abandoned this prison... it went through a long series of owners." "Rumor has it that at Von Zipper's Burgers the fries were delicious... and the free-soft-drink-refill policy was generously honored." "And yet, this fine dining establishment... never succeeded in winning over the family-dining crowd... which is so essential to any restaurant operation." "Welcome to the gas chamber." "A lot of people died in here, Bob." "You should feel right at home." "Stormy's always joking about running off to Las Vegas and getting married." "But I tell her Vegas is packed with dead people and bad guys... and I'd just end up fighting evil 24-7." "I should have listened to her." "Too many." "Too many." "The chief." "I need the chief." "Dear Lord." "If that's you again, Odd, we are going to have words!" "Oh, my God." "No offense, Odd Thomas, but I can't think of anybody... who could come in here right now and not get my back up." " So you think he knew the shooter?" " Had to." "Which means it's probably somebody I know, too." " How bad is he?" " Bad." " Well, he's a fighter." " He better be." " Hey, Bern." " Ma'am." " Hey." " Oh Oddie." "Keep those reporters out of here." "You, on that door." " Sorry, no press inside." " Comin through." "You saved his life, Oddie." "Where's this bullet?" "That's the one they're trying to dig out of him now." "Time is up." "Pico Mundo is awakening to a horror that only I can stop." "Lysette and Fungus Bob are dead." "The chief is in the emergency room." "There's hoards of bodachs swarming all over town." "Whatever's coming is gonna be big." "I'm scared, and I'm supposed to be fearless." " Don't tell me to stay home today." " Please stay home today." " I will if you stay home with me." " We've been through this." "I have to do whatever I can to stop it." "Is Viola going to be shot dead?" "You know I don't know that for sure." "She's had it hard in life." "She doesn't need this." "Shot dead?" "Really?" "Who does need it?" "Oh, I don't know why I try to reason with you." "I always lose." "You're a fabulous man of action, odd one." "You don't need to be a good debater, too." "Besides, you said yourself... any road I choose could lead me right back to the same fate." "So, which is it?" "Do I have free will?" "Am I in God's hands?" "Or is it both?" "Have I ever told you you've got a lot of issues?" "I'm a woman." "We all have issues." "It's what keeps us interesting, and you men interested." "Oh, yeah?" "It's what makes us crazy and die younger." "Do you love me?" "I love you more than life itself." "See?" "It's working." "Don't look back." "Don't look back." "Give him strength." "Knock, knock." "I'm hoping Bob left a clue on his computer." "Something to lead me to his partner... to the person who was planning on killing 100s, if not 1000s of people." "Hey." "Loop me in, odd one." "Where are you?" "I'm walking towards the fridge." "Yours, mine, or Fungus Bob's?" "Don't "uh-huh" me." "I told you... you are not allowed to go playing around in any more hell gates." "Next!" "Oh, God." "Cockroaches." "Always cockroaches." " Odd Thomas, did you hear me?" " Which part?" "I can't believe you went back there." "Every time you don't listen to me, you get yourself into trouble." " I wish I'd listened to you." " You get out of there right now." "Right, right." "Leaving." "Leaving." "Never heard you make that sound before." "Is everything okay?" " Yeah." " What are you looking at?" "Fingers." "Please say they're attached to someone's hand." "Sorry." "Get out of there, Oddie." "Someone has been buying a lot of Burke and Bailey's." "Yeah?" "Well, you tell whoever's buying it that our ice cream... may be the best, but it'll still melt in hell." " I'm calling the police." " No." "No." "Wait." "I'll leave here first." "Then I'll call 'em." "Be careful." "Don't worry." "Hey, Bob." "I guess when I began to out you, word somehow spread... and you became a liability to your partner and he had to kill you." "Sorry about that." "I find it funny how I know more about dead people than dead people." "This is our realm, Bob." "You can't physically harm a living person." "But there is that." "Your call cannot be completed as dialed." "Gas." "I'm exhausted, I'm lost, and somewhere along the way..." "I missed an important clue that could take me home." "The bullet through the heart." "It wasn't about the chief." "God." "Enough already, Bob." "Please." "My three least favorite words." "Some.." "assembly... required." "Simon, I've been dying to know what that tattoo means." "Let's just say this tattoo is a crude obscenity." "It's Varner." "I once had a run-in with some devil worshipers." "I should've known." "P" " O-D." "Prince Of Darkness." "No wonder Varner was suspicious when I told him..." "Fungus Bob had gotten aggressive with me an hour earlier." "This guy Bob Robertson got aggressive with you?" "He had already killed Bob 5 or 6 hours before that." "And that police van protecting Stormy?" "That must've been Varner waiting to follow me home... to bust me for Fungus Bob's murder." "Or shoot me while resisting arrest." "There were no bodachs around Varner." "But I can still feel myself being drawn to him... and to the place where he's about to commit mass murder." "Coconut cherry chocolate chunk." "Oh, God, no." "Hey, Nell, I see what the problem is." "Stormy." "You are eating and reading at the same time." "How about I eat and you read?" "No?" "Not so good?" "Okay, fine." "All right, Varner, where are you?" "Fungus Bob didn't just have one kill buddy." "He had two." "One more, and they could buy group health insurance or form a rock band." "Officer Eckles is checking that right now." "I don't know what this Odd Thomas character knows... but I know that Robertson is stupid and careless... and he's gonna get us nailed if we don't do something." "Relax." "Did Robertson ever find those photos at the mall he misplaced?" "I said, relax." "I'll take care of him." "Stalking someone at the mall, Bern?" "Robertson, that idiot." "We got to make it look like an accident." "Oh, it'll look like an accident all right." "When I find Robertson, I'm gonna kill him." "Already been there, done that." "Looks like their plan was to jump out at the end of the mall disaster like heroes responding to the call." "But I never saw any bodachs around Eckles, either." "The presence of the bodachs tipped me off to Fungus Bob... but not to his two co-conspirators, which now seems... intentional." "As if the bodachs knew of my gift, as if they know I can see them." "The bodachs have been manipulating me." "I'm gonna finish you off, old man." "Four." "Well, that's just jiffy." "This just so happens to be my very favorite book." "The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz." "Officer Varner Prince of Darkness, Officer Varner, Prince of Darkness." "Viola." " Viola!" "What are you doing here?" " Odd!" "Geez!" " You scared the" " What are you doing here?" "We had to pick out a birthday present for Levanna." "And Nicolina wanted to get a card for her big sister." "Look, your dream, it's happening right here, right now." "I thought in a big stadium or at the water park or a bowling alley." "Ladies, I need you to take Viola and get her out of here, okay?" "Come on." "Come on, come on." "Go on." "This made Dorothy so very angry... that she picked up the bucket of water that stood near... and dashed it all over the wicked witch." "And then the wicked witch said..." ""I'm melting!" "I'm melting!"" "There's suddenly lots of flashing lights." "With old-fashioned kiddie music." "And then I hear a big crowd." "And then there's the sound of water, gushing water." "Bye, Nell." "Bye, Stormy." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Sorry!" "Move, move." "Excuse me!" "A gun!" "He's got a gun!" "Stormy and I are destined to be together forever." "Gypsy Mummy gave us a card that said so, for a single quarter... what other couples couldn't buy at any price." "No!" "Get out of the way!" "Get off!" "Hi." "Odd!" "Odd!" "It's not over." "It's not over." "It's not over." "It's not over." "Hey Chief." "What's with the guy who shot the dogs?" "His names Kevin Goss." "One of these days, bang!" "You hear me?" "He's got a gun!" " Is this your truck?" " I need a drill!" "Do you have a drill?" "I need to get this open!" " Who the hell are you?" " I'm a cop." "Now look!" "You see that woman?" "Some maniacs just shot up the mall!" "So either get with me, get behind me, or get out!" "I got a grinder!" "Oh, my God." "Everyone get the hell out of here!" "Get the hell out!" "Now!" "Hey!" "Shit!" "You really set yourself up, asshole!" "It's cold in the desert." "I could tell my stuffing wasn't entirely intact." "He's awake." "He's awake!" "But it was nothing they couldn't stitch back together." "Karla told me that the chief had come through just fine... and somehow managed to spin Fungus Bob's corpse... into a bizarre cover story that kept my secret a secret." "An FBI expert on television said that if you hadn't gotten those explosives out of there, at least 500 or 600 people would've died, for sure." "They told me events at the Green Moon Mall had made headlines everywhere." "But I didn't want to read or see anything about it." "According to Eckles... he and Varner started a satanic cult when they were teenagers." "One night, they killed a man and realized they enjoyed it." "So they kept at it, eventually joining the police force for better cover." "They met Robertson and Goss and came up with a plan... to infiltrate a small town and then slowly kill it." "Odd!" "Odd!" "Odd!" "Detail, present arms." "When I'm with you," "I don't have to worry about pancakes or poltergeists." "When I'm with you, I'm with my destiny." "Where you live, I flourish." "We ate food that wasn't healthy." "We drank too much... and slept too much... but could never kiss enough." "Everything was just as I wished." " Yeah?" " Odd, it's us." "Open up." " Hey, guys." " We have been calling you, Oddie." "I know." "You know, I disconnected the phone... because the reporters won't leave me and Stormy alone." " Son." " Do you want some" "You've been here long enough." "We think it's time to stop." "Sweetheart, the coroner finally released her poor body." "A part of me knew... from the moment I saw her behind the ice cream counter." "But the truth hurt too much to accept." "Her death would have been one wound too many that day." "And I think I would have let go of this life." "She's here, isn't she?" "You got to let her go." "She deserves to move to her next life." "Son... it's just time." "I love you." "I promise I will see you again." "Okay?" "Stormy always believed that life is not about how fast you run... or with what degree of grace." "That this life is a boot camp, that we must persevere through all the obstacles and hardships to earn our way into the next life." "To be with her again, I will have the perseverance of a bulldog." "But sometimes, it seems to me... the training is unnecessarily painful." "If I live an average life-span..." "I'll have another 60 years before I see Stormy again." "That will be a long wait." "But I am a patient man." "And I have much to do."

"You want a drink?" "I think we're out of beer." " We out of beer?" " You're empty." " I'll go get some." " I'll go." " No, I'll go." "I don't care." " No, I'll go." "I could use the air." "Jungle warrior!" "Wait." "What are we doing?" "I don't know." "Should we stop this?" "Stop what?" " Oh, my God." " Should we stop?" " No." " I don't ever wanna stop." " I don't either." " I'll meet you tomorrow at 12 at Shane's." " Yeah, okay." " All right." "Okay." " Bye, you guys." " All right." "Good night." " Come here." " What?" " Come here." "Get in here." " What?" "Terry?" "What's the matter?" "No more of this crap, all right?" "From now on, we act like a married couple." " No more flirting around." "You understand?" " No." "How could I?" "Who can understand such a flaming pile of bullshit?" "Oh, Jack." "Come on, don't play dumb." " Please." " Terry why don't you have some wine." "We've been drinking gin." "I don't want wine." "Let's talk about this in the morning." "You're drunk and we're gonna fight." "And you have that look of yours." "Forget that look of mine." "Let's talk about you and Edith." "The little trips you take." "These damn errands." "Somebody runs out of something some goddamn egg rolls, and off you go, you and Edith." "Egg rolls?" "Really?" "Egg rolls?" "What are you talking about?" "You know, you shouldn't leave me with Hank and put me in that position." " What position?" " Jack, listen to me." " What?" "Something's going on." "I mean, either you want it to, or it is." "That is such a lot of horseshit." "Okay?" "What is wrong with me and Edith going off to get a goddamn six-pack of beer?" "What are you really worried about?" "It's you and Hank being left alone together." " I see you two." "You're horny for Hank." " Oh, please." " I'm supposed to feel guilty because of that?" " I'm horny for my husband." "Jesus." "We're not a couple of fucking honeymooners anymore, for chrissake." "Why aren't we?" "!" "We've been married so long that you're bored?" " Terry." " No." "Is that what it is?" " You can leave anytime." " Terry..." "Maybe we should talk about how long this is gonna last." " Terry!" " I am not going anywhere!" " The kids'll be fine." "If you're suffering if this is such a disappointment." " You're the only wife I know that gets pissed off at her husband for not hanging on her at a party!" " Husbands touch their wives!" " You see Hank fondling Edith every second?" "Hank doesn't love her." "He told me while you were out." " He said that to you?" " Yeah." " Oh, yeah?" " Yeah." "Why?" "Why did he tell you that?" "I don't know." "He just said it." "What were you doing?" "He just blurted that out?" "Seems odd." "We were talking." "How else do people tell each other things?" "When people say things like that they're doing other things." "Yeah, I was blowing him on the porch." " What do you care?" " I don't." " As long as you tell me the truth." " The truth?" "Jack, you won't even admit the truth." " You don't really love me." " Terry, it's not true." "It's never been true." "And when you say shit like that, for one minute it is the truth!" " Do you understand me?" " Fuck you!" "Fuck you!" "Goddamn it!" "Fucker!" "Bastard!" "I'm trying to concentrate!" "Give me back my paper!" "Oh, shit." "Dad!" "Stop it!" "You're making too much noise." "Oh, shit." "Mom!" "Stop it!" "Come back here!" "Mom!" " Mom!" " What?" "!" "Go to school." "It's summer." "I don't have to." "You go to school." "It's Saturday." "I don't have to." "So, what are you gonna do today?" "Make up stories." "Why?" "Make people laugh." "Make people cry." "But why?" " Hey, have you seen my keys?" " Yeah." "They're over here." "The sitter's coming over in a couple hours." "I'm gonna go out and do some things." "I'm gonna go run with Jack after I finish writing." " Okay." " See you." "Hey." "Hey." "Have a good day." "You too." "Hey." "Yeah?" " You want lunch or breakfast?" " What do you got?" "Cereal if you want breakfast." "If you want lunch, I could get lobsters." "For you and me." " Kids don't like them anyway." " I can't." "I'm in a hurry." "I'm taking the car in." "It'll just take half an hour." "I need the car there by 12." " You have to?" " lf I want the work done, yeah." "Well, what's the work?" "Oil and a lube." "That doesn't take very long, so..." "Terry, those guys got work to do, and they want the car now or not at all." "They don't care if you want a lobster." "But if you do want one, get it before I go." "You petulant son of a bitch, just make love to your wife and have a fucking lobster." "I don't want one by myself." "Why?" "You don't think it'd taste as good?" "You know what I mean." "You want Cheerios or Grape-Nuts?" "Grape-Nuts, please." "Dickhead." "Fuck." "Jesus Christ." "Sean." "Sean." "Cease and desist, man." " You slept late." " Yeah." "Because it's Saturday." "It's because you were up late." "You guys were fighting." "Oh, yeah?" "What did you hear?" "Yelling and swear words." "Then you left." "You know what, guys?" "Grownups fight." "Especially married ones." " You want me to make something to eat?" " I could eat a horse." "I could eat a horse." "Give that to your brother." "If I promise not to get fat, can I keep our baby?" "Want dessert too?" " Do we even have any?" " We never have dessert." "I'm a stupid papa." "I'll pick some up on my way home." " Where are you going?" " I'm going to get the car fixed." "Can I go?" "No, because I'm gonna go running with Hank afterwards." " We don't mind." "We'll watch you." " No." "It's Mama!" "I want us to start having desserts, Mama." " Yay!" "Desserts!" " We never have desserts." " I'm off." " Okay..." " Get enough to eat?" " Yep." " Bye, Dad!" " See you!" "How come Daddy likes desserts, and you don't?" "Daddy's a daddy and Mommy's a mommy." "Mom." "Honey, we're different people." "We're not the same." "We're different." "Hey." " You signed up for summer classes?" " Sure." "Why not?" "Oh, man." "If I were you, I'd be at the beach every hour of every day this summer." " I have to make up some credits." " No." "Anyone who looks like you doesn't have to do anything." "See you, Mr. Evans." "Enjoy!" "Won't last forever." "Yeah, just check the oil." " Give it a lube job if you can." " Sure." "I'm just gonna go on a couple errands with my wife over there..." "Duck." "I think he's on to you." "Maybe I should start smoking your brand." "Maybe you should ask your husband to babysit our kids while we fuck." " He'd be glad to." " Yeah." "Well, she wouldn't." "I think he wants to have sex with her." " Why?" " Why?" " Yeah." " Because he likes her and she's pretty." "He hasn't had any strange pussy since that French cunt." "I mean, why do you think he wants to?" "The way he looks at her, the way he looked at us when we came back from buying beer." " Oh, yeah?" "And how was that?" "Sheepish." " Does that bother you?" " Me?" "No." "Good." "We can all babysit for each other." ""She blooms, she blooms." "And in May, so hurt."" "In May, I was alone." "Stinky." " You'll get sunburnt." " No." "And then you'll get caught." " I should keep the sun off." " No." "I can't." "I can't." " Oh, come on." "Yes, you can." " I'm done." "I'm old." "I'm wasted." "Have you eaten enough?" "I don't know." "Let me see." "I mean food." "Yeah." "Yeah." "I had Grape-Nuts." "I got up late." "Yeah." "You know you ought to live with me." "I'd feed you better than that." "She feeds me okay." "She gives me what I want." "It's a sublimely happy marriage." "Stop." "I wonder how we'll get caught." "Hank will smell you on me at the gym." "No, I mean Terry." "If Hank caught us, I wouldn't care." "I wouldn't stop unless you wanted to, but you probably would." "Wouldn't you?" " No, I wouldn't." " Yeah, you would." " What?" "Don't you think he's gonna notice?" " Well, if he does, it'll be a miracle." "Oh, come on, Jack." "You're talking like he's Charlie Chan or something." "Like he gives a shit." " Sometimes I think..." " Sometimes you think what?" "Sometimes I think that I love you even more than I think that I do, which is a lot." "Which is a lot?" "Impotent as you are?" "Give me a cigarette." "My last one until..." "Till..." "I don't know." "I'll call you." "I'm just gonna grab this." "I'm gonna go home, take a nap, keep the sitter another hour." " You're okay with that?" " It's okay." "Thanks." " Hi, Mom." " Hey." "Mommy." "What?" " Mom, stop it." " Okay, okay." " What's this?" " It's a show." "Yeah." "I know it's a show, honey, but what show is it?" "Space." "Do you wanna go into space someday, sweetheart?" "No." "Unless..." "I don't want to go to space unless Daddy goes and you too." "Of course Daddy and I'd go with you." "Then, okay." "I definitely agree with this." "Houston, I think we got a satellite." "It's quite a sight." "That looks good, thanks." "The alignment key is obviously in place." "Go for rotate." "You can't write, you old fuck." "Let's go for a run." "One goddamn page." "One page in four hours, that's sad." "Only three hours, 46 minutes." "Think I'd waste an entire four hours on one goddamn page?" "Let's run." "Take it you quit." " Goddamn right, goddamn it." " What's this?" "The eighth, ninth time?" "The last time." "They're pissing me off." "They're trying to kill me." "Cigarettes don't have souls, Jack." "They don't mean you any harm." "Easy, sailor." "You all right there, princess?" "Yeah, I'm fine, you competitive prick." "You sure?" " You're a little screwed up this summer." " Oh, yeah?" "Can you tell?" "Yep." " I should've worked this summer, man." " Yeah." "Maybe, maybe not." "I could use the money." " Work more." " A man should be able to live idly for a couple of months without losing his mind." " Try writing." " I have." "I'm a reader, not a writer." "Pussy, not a fighter." "Jesus, man." "Just smoke it." "You're hopeless." " You'll smell like an ashtray to Terry." " Does Edith to you?" "No." "Not everywhere." " I haven't touched one since Jeanne." " Yes." "Jeanne." "Got me smoking fucking French cigarettes." "Make anybody wanna quit." " Did you end up seeing her before she left?" " Yeah, I saw her." "Remember when I went to New York to see my agent?" "I was in Portland." "Oh, man." "Airport." "Tears." "That was very romantic." "I think about running into her in Paris in 10 years." "Jesus, man." "What can I say?" "I'm dedicated." "I refuse to let anyone go unloved." "Betty!" "Mom!" "What?" " Mom!" " Don't hit her with that bat!" "So why didn't you leave her, Hank?" "Who?" "Edith." " Why would I?" " You're in love with another woman." " Jesus, this isn't the Middle Ages." " What?" "It's happened." "Men have left their wives for other women and been happy." " Until they start cheating on their new wife." " Sure, whatever." " It's no use talking to you." " Why?" "You're too nice to fuck somebody without feeling love." "Right?" " Right." " So doing it with love in the mix you'd use as proof you didn't love Terry?" " What, you been talking to my mistress?" "Look, just love everybody you can." "Love your kids, love your wife, keep the peace." "Then once, just once try fucking somebody else just because it feels good." "Your wife, you know may be living exactly according to these principles." " That's her business, Hank." " Brave words." "But true." " What brought all this on, anyway?" " I don't know." "Nothing, I guess." "Just see you're unhappy and I want you to be happy." "I have a girl, so Terry gets a lobster." "We get a bottle of wine and the kids get this shit." "Shit." "Go on, take it." " Come in for a quick one." " No, I'm late." " Come on." " Shouldn't." "Dad!" "Brought home a present." "Drink?" "Okay, we're going to 10." "That's two." " No." "That's three!" " Okay, three." "Four." " Dad, when is it my turn?" " Never." "You don't know how to pitch." " Little while, Natasha." " Hey, gang!" " Let's go for a bike ride." " No, we're playing catch." "Please." "Come on!" "Come on, Natasha." "It's late." "Oh, come on, Jack." "It's not that late." "Yeah!" "Let's go up the river!" " Yeah!" " Fine." "Let's ride bikes." " Come on, Mom." " Honey, go with Daddy." "I got stuff to do." "Sean, get your helmet on!" " What's the name of this dance?" " "The Angry Housewife."" "What is that?" "The Death of Ivan Ilyich." "I'm thinking of teaching it this fall." "I was crazy the other night." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "I shouldn't have gotten drunk." "Forget it." "No, I gotta grow up." "What, grownups aren't violent?" "Not with their husbands." "Read the newspapers." "Women murder their husbands every day." "Not people like us." "The other night, did Hank make a pass?" "Yeah." "But he was drinking." "And what?" "You're pretty." "Hank likes pretty women." "Do you know how much I love you?" "Yes." "It's not just that." "It's more than that." "It's what?" "It's how far you've come strong you've gotten." "Do you know what I mean?" " Well?" " Well, what?" " Well, what did he do?" " None of your business." "All right, then what did you do?" " Nothing." " Come on." "He tried to kiss me on the porch, so I went inside." "Where?" "Here?" "In the kitchen to get a glass of wine." "So he followed you into the kitchen and..." "And he told me he loved me he kissed me and said he didn't love Edith." "And I felt dirty and we went outside and sat on the front steps." "Dirty because what he said about Edith or because..?" " Yeah." "Edith's my friend." "She's sweet." "She doesn't deserve that bullshit." "I don't wanna be any part of it." "But before that you were all right." "I wanna know what you did." "Hey, can we stop this?" "Or do you wanna know if his nose was to the left or to the right of mine when he kissed me?" " You remember?" "We were lying on the floor and he was on my right, so his nose was to the left." "You were lying on the floor." "Goodness gracious." "I was squatting down to get my gia..." "Shut up." "What?" "I'm just kidding." "No, you're not, Jack." "You're glad he kissed me." " Let's just say I'm not disturbed by it." " Well, I am!" "Okay." "Jack." "Jack." "Look at me." "Look at me." ""It occurred to him that what had seemed impossible before that he had not spent his life as he should have, might after all be true. "" "Hey, let's go." "Wake up." "You want some pancakes?" " I want three pancakes." " Ready?" " Get your plate ready." " Ready." "Table one." " Hey, let's go." " It's mine!" " Mommy!" " You guys, have a great time." ""His professional duties and the whole arrangement of his life and family might all have been false. "" ""He tried to defend all those things to himself and suddenly felt the weakness of what he was defending." "There was nothing to defend."" "Boring." "Jim." " Everything in his life turns out false?" " Doesn't do much about it." "Doesn't do much?" "He finds God." "That tiny bit at the end?" "Seeing a light and there being no more pain?" "Is that it?" "Well, the guy does do one major thing." " What's that?" " He dies." "And maybe Tolstoy didn't have it in his head to write some big, uplifting story about the way we're supposed to live our lives." "Maybe he just wanted to show us what it was like to die." "This is traumatic." "Reading your stuff, I see little things wrong here and there, easy to fix." "And I am noticing, all of a sudden that most of you can write just as well as me." "It's very depressing." "What happened?" "There's a first half of a story here that really starts to work then just:" "What?" "You gonna tell me you ran out of things to write about?" "I won't believe you." "I lost focus towards the end." "My boyfriend just moved in..." " Your boyfriend?" " I just mean that..." "I just wanna talk about what's on the page." " Sorry." " Are you kidding?" "All right." "Just this stuff." "Fuck." "HD-Grant Publishing" "Can I get my highlighter, please?" "Linden." "My mother sent some money, you wanna celebrate?" " Yeah." "Soon." " Okay." " Tomorrow?" " Good." "He wants to meet me, tell me how much he likes it, but he doesn't wanna publish it?" "Who needs that?" "Look, tell him to publish the damn thing, I'll move into his house and do his laundry." "God." "Who's depressed?" "I'm not depressed." "Bye, Jerry." "Fuck." "All you need is one yes." " Where you going?" " I have to do some shopping." " You taking Sharon?" " No." "She's outside playing." "Christ, Edith, I was gonna write." "So write." "She's outside playing." " Where are you going?" " To the library." "I'll be back at 4." " Since when?" " Since I have work to do." " What work?" " Work." " All right." "Give me 50 bucks." " Why?" "Fuck why." "So I can fly to California." "So I can pay the goddamn plumber." "You blew through Monday's money already?" "I can't believe this." "Yeah, my heroin habit's getting expensive." "Give it to me!" "Give it back!" "Give it to me." "Give it back." " Give it to me." " Hey!" "You guys wanna see something?" "He thinks it's shit." "Pretty cool, huh?" " I hate her." " No, you don't." "She's your life." " You really love Terry, don't you?" " Yeah." " I think she's fantastic." " She is fantastic." "She just shouldn't be married to me." " Hey, you want some coffee or anything?" " No, I'm great." "Thanks." "I went to the zoo last week with Sharon." " That's a depressing place." " Yeah, I know." "But we were watching this gorilla." "He took a crap in his hand and then he licked it." "It's a bit more interesting than the flamingos, I guess." "Made me cry." "I told you it's a depressing place." "He just seemed so human, you know?" "Like he knew how trapped he was." "Do you realize how sad it is, watching you guys?" "What do you think the difference is between you and us?" "Terry loves you." "So you married?" " Thirty years." " Wow." " Got kids?" " Two." "They're married now." "Does your wife take an interest in your job, I mean does she know everything about plumbing?" "No, not at all." "Nothing." "What does she do?" "She likes to garden." "It makes her happy." "Did I say something wrong?" "You make me a good wife." "If I didn't love you, I'd have to love somebody else." "See, Hank needs us, but he can't really love anyone, only his work, the rest is surface." "I don't believe that." "I don't mean his friendship with you." "He'd give you a kidney if you needed one." " Yeah, and he'd give you one too." " Of course he would but he wouldn't go to a marriage counselor." "You know, you're a funny girl." "After a long carnivorous fuck, you talk about a marriage counselor?" "Who are you?" "You know what I wanted." "I wanted to know where we were." " Now I know." " And?" "You love the person you're having the affair with." "He'll be busting out soon." "Trust me." "I know the routine." "He's been hibernating with that novel so long." "Next thing you know, he'll look around and blink and fuck the first thing that walks into his office." "I hope someone goes in there before I do." "Well, he screws his wife once in a while." "Why not another man?" "And your husband making passes at my wife, how do you feel about that?" "Well, everybody deserves to be happy, right?" " Hey." " Hey." " Hey." " Hey." "How'd the work go?" "Burned my novel, wrote a shitty poem." "How'd the shopping go?" "Fine." "Get your work done at the library?" "Yep." "Hank and Edith are coming over to watch an old movie on cable tonight." "Great." "That's good." " Hank called?" " Yeah." "He called." "What?" "Lobsters?" "Oh, she's beautiful." "There's no denying that." "But you know she does nothing all day but eat, sleep, walk about fascinate us all by her beauty." "Nothing more." "And an idle life cannot be pure." "Hello?" "Hey." "Hey!" "Hello." "Hey." "Hi, guys." "What's going on?" " We're celebrating." " Well, I can see that." "Hank?" "The New Yorker's gonna publish one of my poems." "What?" "That's fantastic!" "How exciting!" "What did Edith say?" "I haven't had a chance to tell Edith." "She's out shopping." "You don't seem very excited." " I am." " Yeah, what do you know?" "Hank, people who know you like your work." "You're being published." "It doesn't get much better than that." "It's a poem, Terry." "It's really not that important." "No, Hank, it isn't." "You want important, work in a cancer ward with people puking from chemo." "Or teach math to a kid who's brain-damaged from fetal alcohol syndrome." "No, those people generally aren't that much fun to be around." "Okay." "All right." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "Pulling my head out of my butt." "How about a spoonful of this "dream come true" jumbo split?" "I'd rather eat vomit." "Gotta fly." "Hey." "Do me a favor and don't tell Jack, all right?" "Allow me the joy of gloating." "You'll see him before I will." "You guys are running, right?" "Are we?" "Oh, yeah, yeah." "We are indeed." " Okay." "Bye, honey." " See you." " Hi." " Terry's turning over leaves." "She said her life had reached a turning point." "She said she would work." "She would start right now by paying for being a slob." "For three days after, she made the beds as soon as we got up in the morning." "She folded the laundry by 10." "She vacuumed by noon." "She wrote lists of chores for the rest of us." "Then on the fourth day her momentum suddenly stopped." "So?" "So then I checked his gym bag, and the clothes were folded and clean." "He didn't even go running, he fucking lied to me." "So confront him." "Can't you ask Hank?" " Do you want me to ask Hank?" " Yes." "Shit." "I don't even know." "I don't know if I wanna know." " Hey." " Hey." " How was your run?" " Great." "Lobsters." "Fuck you." " Mom!" " Dad!" " What's the matter?" " Still wet." "Lay down." "I'll be back in a second." " What else, Terry?" "What else?" " What?" "Relax." "I'll do them as soon as I finish this." "It's not what you didn't do, it's why." "Why do we live in the foulest house I know?" "Why is it that you say you love our children and they go unbathed for days?" "Right now Sean is upstairs sleeping in last night's piss." "I forgot." "Goddamn it!" "Goddamn it, Terry." "Fucking lazy." "It's okay, baby." "It's okay." "Stay here and I'll be back." "I'll take the sheets." "It's just a little bit wet, that's okay." "It's okay, honey." "I love you." "Go back to sleep." "Love you." "All right." " I wanna talk to you." " I'm gonna do the dishes." " No." "Now." " Talk to me while I'm doing the dishes." " Terry..." " Sit down." "Don't you take anything." "Listen to me." "I am tired of being judged." "Who are you to judge me?" "Now, I forgot that Sean wet his bed but if you got them up one morning out of every thousand if you loved them the way you say you do..." "Oh, that was shitty." "Accusing me of not loving my own children?" "That's just the way you fight, like a catty, bitchy woman." "And you know what?" "If you ever got them up in the last four or five nights you would've known he hadn't wet his bed." "Come on." "He wet his bed three nights ago and I know that because he told me." " So what?" " So?" "You never get the facts right." "You always get it wrong, Terry." "Wrong!" "You never, ever, ever get it right." "It's the same thing with the sheets, the bills..." "You always find a way to blow it." "You always have an excuse and you're always wrong." " So, what do you want me to do?" " Do?" "There's something you can do?" " You son of a bitch!" " Terry!" " Son of a bitch!" "You son of a bitch!" "Goddamn it." "Goddamn it, Jack." "Goddamn it!" "Oh, fuck." "It was the day after payday, and I gave Hank $50 I had owed him." "Oh, my God, I can't believe this." "He paid me!" "He made a big deal about not needing the money." "Thank you so much." "Then, later that night, he fucked my wife in the front seat of my car." "Where were you?" "Woke up, couldn't get to sleep, so I went for a walk." "You don't have to tell me that." "I've been up since 1:30." "You're such a bastard." " Did you ever go to sleep?" " Yes." " Sure you did." " What, I was tired." "Yes." " Why didn't you just bring me to bed?" " Why didn't you come to bed?" "Because I need to be made love to." "You don't make love to me anymore." "You fuck me." "I sat on those steps with Hank and he held my hand and he listened to me." "He listened to me while I talked about this shitty marriage." "And he told me he felt close to me." "And I was happy when he said it." "And I was happy when I made love to him." "I was so goddamn happy for a minute, and then I thought of you." "I just wanted to be here with you and get us back." "And be in this fucking bed, in this house with my husband and my kids where I belong." "That's a really admirable sentiment, Terry." "Fuck." "Jack right now I love you maybe more than I have for years." "But I am angry." "I am so fucking angry, Jack, way down, because you set this fucking thing up." "You set it up and it happened." "And I don't know what else is gonna happen." "Why?" "You gonna see him again?" "God." "Jesus Christ, Jack." "I don't know." "What?" "Then it's over." "Is that what you're saying?" "What's wrong with you?" "Think making love is like smoking?" " It's..." " It's what?" "It's a promise." "You promised him you'll see him again." "I didn't say anything." "Opening my legs is a promise." "And he didn't say anything, either?" "He must have said something." "Oh, my God, you like this." "You want details, huh?" "Fine." "We drove around for a while." "He put his hand on my tit and I practically got off just from him touching me." "You know what happened then?" "We parked and we fucked like crazy." "And you know what, Jack?" "I came before he did." "And the second time, I was on top." "And I looked in his face, I looked right in his eyes and I told him I loved him." " That's enough, all right?" "Enough." "You should be knocking my teeth out, but not you, huh?" "Not you." "Because you like it." "Wanna watch us, Jack?" "This comes to you..." "Fuck who you want, when you want but don't give me half-assed insights into the soul of a man you have never understood." "Your insights suck." "Oh, Jesus Christ." "My "half-assed insights."" ""Into the soul of a man I don't understand."" "You poor baby." "Oh, my God." "You poor little baby." "You talk and talk." "You think you know yourself, but you know what?" "You're a pervert." "I'm gonna go to sleep." "We got a couple of kids that are getting up soon." "You're not known for getting breakfast." "I'll do it." "Forget it." "Thanks." "It's one thing you can help with." "Unfortunately, you can't help me with my other problem." "See, Jack, I'm not sure what to do." "I mean, tomorrow." "What do I say?" ""Gee, Hank, that was last night and this is now, and I just don't know if I wanna fuck anymore."" "You gotta admit, even adultery has morality to it." "So I got some things to figure out." " You do what you can." " Thanks, Jack." " Good night." " I'll do what I can." " Hello." " They did it last night." "Come over." "Wait, wait, wait." "Where's Hank?" " He's sleeping." " Upstairs?" "Yeah." "He'll go to the bathroom first, don't worry." " We'll hear him." "Come on, fuck me." " Okay." "Oh, God." "Come on back here!" "Come on." "Take the gold!" "Get the gold!" "He's gonna hit that guy soon." " Which guy?" " The big fat mean guy." "How do you know?" "Because if he doesn't hit him, he won't feel good about himself." "Go to sleep." "Tanya, we'll be back at 12:30." "Don't talk to boys." "Tanya, can you put two shirts on them?" "They get cold at night." "Thanks." " Just one." " Bye, Mama." "See you later." "Night, gang." " Finally." " Congratulations." "I have to thank my lovely muse." " Hey, Joe." "How's it going?" " Good." " Hank's in good shape these days." " He's always in good shape." "All days." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "New Yorker." " Hey, Hank, The New Yorker." " Hey." " Smooth." " Christ." "Don't know if I can handle this." "Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it." " So cheers to Hank." " Hank." "Good night." "Of course." "Terry's tired." "I'm gonna run her home." "Take your car, okay?" " Have fun." " Enjoyed it." "Nice." " He's giving her a lift home." " Among other things." "I think you should tell him now." " I can't." " Why not?" " I don't know." " Why not?" "I don't know." " Don't." " What?" "I'd like to just concentrate on hating his guts right now." "Not this way, not after 10 fucking years." "I just spent the last three hours at Willie's." "You know, the bar all the bag ladies drink in?" "Alone in a bar for the first time in my life." "Alone in a bar." " What happened?" " Never mind what happened." " All right." " That's why you have strikes against me." "I drink more than any woman we know." "I'm the only woman who keeps up with the men at parties." "I'm drinking in the afternoon." "You'll get rid of me that way." "So..." "Yeah." "I drink a lot." "Especially on nights when my husband sends me off to fuck his friend." "Don't you wanna stop that, Terry?" "Give me a reason, Jack." "I was thinking tonight about when I was 10, my dad taught me how to fish." "And I was just praying, "Please, God, let me catch one fish."" "Just one, you know?" "As if the luck of catching a fish would make me more lovable." "But then it would follow that to be unlucky is to be unlovable." "And luck isn't an element in my life now." "It just isn't." "And for some reason, you hate me for this house of mine because it's filthy sometimes." "I don't hate you, Terry." "Jack, how would you know if you hated me?" "You don't even know me." " I know you, Terry." " No, you don't, Jack." " I do know you." " No." "You say, "You are what you do"?" "Who really believes that?" "I mean, what does that mean?" "Does that mean I'm a cook an errand runner, a fucker, a goddamn cleaning lady?" "Because if you, you bastard, lost all discipline and folded up and turned drunk and got bald and lost everything, I'd love you." "I love you." "You, Jack." "But if you love me for what I do instead of for what I am and there's a difference, I know there is then what are you loving when I fuck Hank?" "What is it in you that lets me do that?" "Or is that just another one of the tricks I do for you?" "Screw Hank, shake hands, sit, roll over, play dead, fetch love me like a dog." "I love Edith." " What?" " I love Edith." " Jack." "Don't do this, please." " Terry..." " Please, please." " Terry..." " Please." " Terry, no!" "Just take it." "Jesus Christ." "Just take it." "So when are you leaving?" "I don't know." "Maybe you should go today." "Why don't you come to bed?" "I wanna clean my house." "You should see the house." "What's she doing?" "She's doing everything." "Are you talking to Daddy?" "Hey, come here." " Is it true that you don't love Mom?" " Who said that?" "I heard Mom last night." "Wait a second." "Are you getting divorced?" "Natasha said you were leaving." "I wanna live with you." "I'm not going to choose." "Now, you guys, that's just Mama and Daddy fighting at night." "Mom says you're leaving and you love Edith and you screwed her." "You know what that means?" "Yes." " You do?" " What?" "What what means?" "Now listen to me." "Listening?" "That's just adult foolishness, okay?" "Understand?" "Come here." "Let's go on our bikes." "Yeah." " You know what's out there?" " The moon, the sun..." " Yeah, I do." " Uranus, Pluto, Mercury." "Venus, Mars, moon." "Sun." "Jupiter." "Did you know the universe is so big that nobody can even count how big..." "How many feet it is?" "So people say "googol." "It's googol."" "See these rocks?" "Guess how old they are." " Hundred years old?" " Nope." "These rocks have been here from the very first cells." "The first cells were the first thing on the Earth." "Then maybe these rocks were..." "Who were the first people on the planet?" "If you believe in God, it's Adam and Eve and if you don't, apes." "Did you know that they just found things that said that God had a wife?" "It's true." "In real life they did." "What if they don't believe in God?" "No, I mean, people that look for him thought that." "Was it awful?" "Was what awful?" "What's this?" "What are you doing?" "I thought that's where you went to tell the kids." "Unpack it, please." "Why?" "Couldn't you tell them?" "I don't want to." "Okay, I'll call them in and we'll both tell them." "I mean I don't wanna leave, Terry." "Jack, I know it's the kids." "No." "Is it just the kids?" "You can see them whenever you want." "I won't make a big deal out of it." "You know I wouldn't put us through that." "And if it's just telling them, we can do it and get it over with." "It's not the kids, Terry." "It's not the kids." "Just unpack my bags, okay?" "We can do this." "It'll be okay." "She didn't mean it." "Honey, what's wrong?" "Somebody was mean to her at school." "It's okay, honey." "It's okay." "Hey." "Hey." "Edith wants to see you tonight." "She's gonna tell Hank." "She probably already told him." "She said he won't mind." "Yeah, I know." "I told her about Hank and me." "She talked about you two." "Terry please don't." "I'm sure it was a fine afternoon." "It was, in a way." "It's gonna snow." "Hey." "Want some coffee?" "No." "Drink?" "Yeah." "Scotch." "Take a seat." "Well, I think this is probably a good time for me to go see a movie." "Hey, Hank?" "Hank." "What?" "You knew all along." "I'm not real slow." "You okay?" "I'm drowning in shit." "I'll be laughing soon." "Hey, listen." "Gonna dedicate my new novel to you." "I wrote three new chapters this week." "It's much easier living with a woman who feels loved." "He said he was happy for us and now he's sad for us." "He's happy that you were taking care of me and now he's sorry that you can't." "I can't." "Too sad." "What's going on?" "Where's Sharon?" "She's outside waiting in the car." "I..." "I'm gonna take her to my mother's for a while." "Why?" "What for?" "What's going on?" "Edith." "Edith." "Edith, stop." "Edith, Edith, Edith, please." "Stop." "I'll stop." "I'm not leaving you because you're unfaithful." "I'm leaving because I was." "Well, none of that matters anymore." "That's over." "Isn't it?" "Isn't it, Edith?" "Yeah." "It's over." "Well, then why leave now?" "Because I can."

"But it was really a smart thing to be right about, actually." "Actually, it was." "Around here, Oscar is known as "actually", because he will insert himself into{\* just about} any conversation to add facts or correct grammar." "Actually, you're speculating."

"All right, I just need to learn everything about China." "To be safe, I should learn everything about everything but I don't have time." "I'll just learn about China and science and geography and math and literary." "No politics?" "I'm {\*pretty }good on {\*politics}that." "California is bankrupt." "And California, California."

"I could talk about boobs." "I bet he knows nothing about boobs." "What do you know about boobs?" "{\*Micheal, }I must tell you something." " It's from Rocky II." " Thank you." "This guy doesn't just wanna win, you know, he wants to burry you." "He wants to humiliate you." "Wait, how long is this gonna take?" " I'm {\*like }a quarter of the way through." " Is it {\*gonna be }worth it?" "Just in case, Michael, I made you a cheat sheet." " I don't need {\*to cheat}it." " Show him how to use it." "10,706." "Here it is, right here." "Pull over." "No way." "Look at that." "There's no building." "This can only mean one thing." " Building's underground." " She was lying." " What?" " I'm Pam." "{\*No, }You're not." "{\*I'm }Sorry, we have a colleague with the same name." " That's funny." " You're not a liar too{\*, are you}?" "I've {\*been known to }already bend the truth." "Damn it, Pam." "Get out." "Right now, leave it." "I mean it." "Get {\*the hell }out of here." "I can't wait to do to Pam what I just did to Pam." "{\*You know, }I'm the only one here {\*that }you haven't asked about the new office." "I know." "Because you're the reason we're moving." "But I'm still an employee here," "{\pos(192,240)}and that part of me is really excited about the change of scenery." "{\pos(192,240)}What's the square footage{\* in the new place}?" "{\pos(192,240)}" " I think it's something like..." " What's the exact square footage?" "{\pos(192,240)}" " Let me see." " How many offices are there?" "{\pos(192,240)}" " I'll {\*just }look at the one-sheet myself." " {\*Actually, }I don't know what I did with {\*the one-sheet}it." "That's the problem." "You only have one sheet." "You're a funny guy{\*, Pam}." "What's the first thing you{\* guys a}'re gonna do when you move in to the new office?" "I'm gonna walk down the hall and I'm gonna say," ""I can't believe this is real, but it is."" "I can't wait." "I lied about some aspects of the building." " It's still on a bike path, {\*though, }right?" " There's no building." "It doesn't exist." "What does that mean?" "{\*I needed leverage, so }I pulled those pictures of the Internet." "It's just this office administrator thing," "I don't want to..." "What?" "Fail." "I don't want to fail, again." " You didn't fail." " {\*That's what }You said that about art school and that's what you said about sales." "And you didn't fail those things either." "I'm not an artist, and I'm not a salesman." "So what would you call it?" "Michael, the reason I asked you down here for this chat is" "I've been thinking {\*that }your fears about China are a bit exaggerated." "Did you know that China has a new missile that can sink a US naval carrier 900 miles off the coast?" " We have missiles too." " Did you {\*also }know {\*that }China has secretly been expanding its nuclear arsenal?" "But what do I know?" "{\*I mean, }That's just according to the Pentagon." "Our Pentagon." "I wasn't here." "What?" "I wasn't here." "It's a pretty common saying." "You may want to log it away for future use." "Thanks." "China has been loaning us billions upon billions of dollars." "We are going to be owing them for the rest of our lives," " and they will control us." " Actually, we're in a mild recession right now," "I{\*'ll give you that} admit it, but people use China as the boogeyman for all their problems." "In the 1980s, it was Japan." "How then do you explain that in the past year manufacturing in China has risen by 17%, and in the US It has only risen by 8%?" "Do you really think {\*that }manufacturing is a relevant indicator of where the world economy's heading in 2011?" "Do you know the {\*comparative }expansion of{\*, say,} the information sector?" "I'd say that's far more relevant, wouldn't you?" "Hello." "You're breaking the law." " Impossible." "I love the law." " Read article 19." "{\*There are certain standards that }You have to maintain the building at certain standards and that includes comfortable temperatures and adequate lighting." "It also means no more cutting the tampons in two and no more tampering with the toilet paper." "I see I've underestimated you and I didn't think that was possible." "Re-ply the paper." " I don't think it goes that way." " Re-ply it!" "{\pos(192,240)}- {\*Don't worry about }The coffee{\*." "It}'s on me." " I figured that." "{\pos(192,240)}Michael, I am so happy that we were able" "{\pos(192,240)}to have this little chat." "{\pos(192,240)}Wait." "{\pos(192,240)}You've forgot{\*etting something}?" "{\pos(192,240)}" " What?" " This chat." "Two men." "One white, one Latino." "A boss and a money cruncher." "I could fire you." "Fire him." "No." "Show mercy." "But here we are." "What is your point?" "My point is... that as long as people like you and me don't stop talking..." "Nobody can stop the USA." " Right." " Yes." "I am talking about freedom." "About choice." "America..." "I don't think you need to worry, because if you want to be China, you will." "If you don't, that's fine." "That, my friend, is your victory." "A lot of people say that if you dig long {\*enough }and hard enough, you will get to China and that may be true, but {\*what }they don't tell you {\*is }that if you dig long enough" "and hard enough in a conversation, you get to a friend." "So here is to conversation." "Raise you cups on high." "Case closed." "That wasn't what we were..." "That wasn't the whole..." "They say the best vampires don't bleed their victims dry, but give them the strength so that they can bounce back only to be fed on again." "I spared Pam and I might feast off of her profits for years to come." "I let Pam win." "I was not motivated by compassion." "I have no compassion." "Make sure you got that." ""Not motivated by compassion."" ""Come to parking lot."" ""Crazy pigeon action."" "You're gonna scare them away." " That's a text." " Yeah, right?" "That's a new standard."

" We've passed Yvetot." "Thank you, sir." "May I?" "We're about to arrive." "May I turn the light on?" "Of course." "I like night trains." "You fall asleep and don't see the kilometers pass by." "The kilometers are silly, they all look the same." "Not all of them." "Trust me." " It depends on what's at the end." " Is the station far from the harbor?" "The town station is but... there's also a harbor station." "Sorry, I'm not used to traveling." "I've never left Paris before." " Really?" " Yes but" "I'm making up for lost time." "I'm sailing on the "Saturnia" tomorrow." " South America?" " Yes, Argentina." "A land of dreams, isn't it?" "Like every country you've never been to." "As soon as you're there, you'll dream of another one." "When you've had enough of the mosquitoes on the plaza." " You know Argentina?" " Yes, I went there on business trips." "You travel a lot?" "A lot, yes." "I work in a bank." "I'm the manager." "A good position." "Believe me, two years of this life, you can't stand it, your blood boils." "You want it to stop." " And to get away to a nice place." " Yes." "I feel like I escaped from jail." "You can't imagine what it's like." "And why not?" "It seems to me like I'll be starting from scratch, like nothing's happened to me until tonight." "I'll go where my fancy takes me." " So much adventure to be had." " Taking it all into your own hands." "I want to see it up close, very close." "Fight with it." "I want..." "Say..." "Argentina is still a new country, isn't it?" " One can make a fortune there." " You can do it anywhere" " if you're rich to start with." " I am." "Well..." "Well, almost." "I've made the necessary provisions." "You need a lot of money to afford to go there." "I know that." "But with 300,000 francs I guess you can go a long way." "Yes, if you don't lose them on your way there." "I could see your wallet from the corridor." "Don't worry, it's still there." "You're lucky actually." "Well, I mean..." "A thief could have seen it." "There's all sorts in those trains." "First, I can defend myself and... not everyone you meet is a crook." " There are good people too." " Yes." "And gendarmes." "Yes." "We'll be there in 25 minutes." " You're boarding straight away?" " No, I'd like to see the city." " I was told it's pleasant." " It's very picturesque." "The "Fortuny" around midnight," "I'll be there." "You'll like it." "It's a good nightclub." "Really?" "That would be great." "I have some time to spend." "Let's spend it together." "All right." "So be it." "I can assure you that you won't regret it." "I'll introduce you to a very pretty girl." "I'd like to speak to Captain Dejanin." "Is he on board?" " We haven't seen him come down." " He must still be on deck." " Play." " You could go and see." "He'll show you the way." "Come on, Risotto, stop your music and take the lady to the captain's." "My name's Ly Fan." "Especially in front of ladies." "Me very honored take care pretty lady." "Come in!" "Hello, Philippe." "You." " All right, get away." " At once." "You're so pale, Marie-Ange." "Something's happened?" "Yes." "Tonight is the night, Philippe." "He did it." "I just got the telegram." "He'll be on the 10:20 train." "He took the train." "It's madness." "After what he's been through, he has no time for caution." "That's what scares me." " So?" " So I came to you, Philippe." "You told me to come and see you once Pierre had escaped." "Here I am." "I'm waiting for your answer." "Have you thought things over?" "Thought things over?" "You mustn't ask too much from me." "No, I haven't thought things through." "But I've had a think." "First about Pierre, who's my friend." "And about myself." "Not much." "Just going through the motions." "And then about you." "About you, most of all, Marie-Ange." "Philippe..." "I know, it's stupid." "Drinking is stupid too." "It never stopped me from getting drunk." "Stop worrying." "I'll do it." "I'll hide Pierre on board for 48 hours and when the crew gets back, we'll sail and I'll take him with me." " Happy?" " Worried." " You know the risks, don't you?" " There's a god for rascals." "Pierre is an escaped convict." "You'll have to hide him, help him run." " You've done so much..." " For free, that's right." "I know." "What if I find it fun, playing knights?" "With my ugly mug." "What's wrong, Marie-Ange?" "Dreaming?" "No." "But I wonder if Pierre would do for you what you're about to do for him." "I don't think so." "You're a better man than him, Philippe." "That's bullshit!" "Does being better than another mean anything?" "It doesn't." "What matters is what is real and what happens." "And what happens is that I love you." "And that you love Pierre." "That's it!" "You chose him." "Oh no..." "We should be so lucky if we could choose." "Love's a little like the wind." "You take it the way it blows." "The world is a mess, Marie-Ange." "For solace, I wrote your name on my boat." "My own way of getting love letters." " You're still singing tonight?" " Yes, it seems wiser." "My life must appear to everyone to be the same as usual." " You have guts, Marie-Ange." " I try to." "I must go." "The train arrives in fifteen minutes." " Pierre will come straight here." " All right." "I'll give orders." "I won't say "thank you", Philippe." "It's a useless word between us." "Goodbye." "Marie-Ange..." "Say "thank you" all the same." "You say it so well." "Thank you, Philippe." "I'll leave you here." " Some friends might be waiting for me." " By all means." "I forgot to introduce myself:" "Ginestier." "Pierre, Mr. Pierre." " See you later." " Right you are." "All fun and games till they get hurt." "Taxi!" "Please, let me have this car." " It's very important." " So it seems!" "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry too." "I'm expected." "The car will drop you and I'll keep it." "You don't mind, do you?" "As you like." "To the harbor." "I'll tell you where." "It's raining." "I was saying that it's raining." "Thank you." "I had noticed." "It makes me so much happier that I could share your taxi..." "Well, my taxi actually." "I don't know what would have become of me and my suitcase." "I don't know the town." "The towns you don't know always seem slightly hostile." "They're out of sorts with you." "Driver!" "Take the first avenue on the left, it's faster." "I'm sorry, sir, to divert you from your itinerary." "I don't mind." "Actually, I have no itinerary, I go anywhere." " You said you were expected." " Little white lie." "A really little one." "I'm probably expected somewhere but I don't know where or what for." "It's strange." "We're going so fast that I somehow feel like I still have a train to catch." "I'm sorry but I really am expected." "And you, at least, know who I am." "Sorry." "No trouble at all, rest assured." "Bad luck!" "A flat tire at the back, I must change the wheel." "It'll be nice in that rain." " You want us to get out?" " In a way, I'd rather." "It will take five minutes and there's a kiosk nearby." "You'll get some shelter there." "That kiosk seems quite nice, doesn't it?" " No, you..." " Women first!" "Like in shipwrecks." " I'll carry you." " I don't want you to." "In the circumstances you have no choice." "Hold tight!" "You see, it was simple." "There we are." "You might put me down then." "Oh sorry!" "I'd completely forgotten." "No, keep it on your shoulders." "May I?" "You're all set." "I'm very pleased with myself." "It feels nice here." "It's wonderful indeed." "It's a kiosk like any other." "It isn't." "Since we are there." "Ten minutes ago, we hadn't met." "And now we already have a house." " A glass roof and rain walls!" " Yet chance has built it for us." "What a nice type chance is." "If you were superstitious, you'd see it as a kind of omen." "But I'm not superstitious and you're talking nonsense." "Yes, I know." "But should the wind turn and the rain stop, everything around us will reappear." "Everything will mean something again and reassert itself." "So I talk nonsense and hurry myself along." "To the first woman you see?" "I'm the only one who can know if you're really the first woman I see." "You think I'm crazy, don't you?" "No." "I even think that you're probably quite sensible." "In dry weather." "You can come back." "It's fixed." "The driver is calling us." "He was quick." " Thank you." " Thank you for what?" " You thought he was too fast." " I didn't say too fast." "Well, too bad." "Ready?" " My name is Alain." "What's yours?" " Marie-Ange." "The right name for this night." "Now, to the harbor." "Quick!" " You're that late?" " Very late, yes." "He must be very worried." "I'd be very worried if you were late." "And I wouldn't like you going for a drive in a taxi with strangers." "Will you tell him?" "I don't know." "Why?" "What does it matter?" "I would like it very much if you hid it from him." "That way there would be something between us, a lie." "I'd like to share a lie with you so much." "We've already shared a lot tonight." "A taxi, an overcoat, a kiosk." "It seems enough, don't you think?" " Besides, we're almost there." " I'm about to lose you." "You'll go back to your night, I'll return to mine." "We'll never meet again." "Why not?" "Chance, your friend, works in mysterious ways." "Especially if it's helped." "You don't want to help it a little?" "I have better things to do." "Well, other things." "Stop!" "I'll get out here." "Wait!" "Listen to me." "I'm leaving tomorrow for ever." "They say that it's a beautiful place." "Goodbye!" "And thank you!" "Goodbye and thank you." "It looks like the end of an operetta." "Where shall we go now, sir?" "Anywhere." "It doesn't matter now." " Where's the captain?" " Captain not here yet." "You saw no one?" "A man already come." "Run much to get here." "Him very angry not find pretty lady." "Where is he?" "You didn't let him go, did you?" "No." " You're wounded?" " Switch off the light" " What?" " Switch off the light." "Switch that light off, for God's sake!" "Well, what are you waiting for now?" "Scared of me?" "Let me see." " You can't leave it like that." " It's nothing." "Just a scratch." "You didn't notice anything in the harbor?" "Nothing suspicious?" " No, everything seemed normal." " Of course," "Of course, you're not used to it." "I don't need to see it." "I feel it." "It's everywhere, in every hole, under every stone." "It's stuck to me, like a shadow." " Police?" " Police, yes." "They were waiting for me at the station." "They were very well-informed, weren't they?" "And so fast." "Don't you think?" "Don't you think that..." "Why are you ashamed to say what you think?" "Is it so ugly?" "Please forgive me." "Forgive me." "I'm not seeing things clearly any more." "I counted so much on finding you here." "I needed you so much." " You promised you'd wait for me." " I was at the station." "I saw those men getting at you." "I came back at once." "At once?" "The train arrived half an hour ago." "My taxi broke down." "I had to wait." "You're despicable, Pierre." "Leave me alone." "Why is it that you destroy everything you touch?" "God knows how beautiful I thought this moment would be." "During those years in jail, during those hours I had to beat one by one, my only thought was the first thing I'd do when I was free:" "take you in my arms and simply say:" "Hello, Marie-Ange." "Hello, Pierre." "What are you doing here?" " Spying?" " Me come see if honorable gentleman and pretty lady need something." " You dirty sneak!" "You're lying!" "You listen at doors, don't you?" " You've got no proof." " Do we need evidence with such a scoundrel." "Now, get away from here." "You're wrong, Pierre." "His race doesn't forgive easily." "I need no forgiveness." "Where is he?" "What's he doing?" "He should have waited for me." "Look!" "Look at those men." "Who are they?" "Only two customs officers." "Please, calm down." "You have nothing to fear here." "In three days, it'll be over." "It's not a pretty sight, is it?" "A frightened man." "As long as I'm here to take care of you." "I'll give you your revenge." "I swear." "Trust me!" "I love you." " So badly, my poor Pierre." " But so much." " With you, I'll always have courage." " Always daring." " I'll start from scratch." " You'll go on." "Yes, I'll go on." "I can't go back." "Do I have any choice?" "I was convicted." "The brand is on my skin." "What's the use of escaping one prison only to get into another?" "Why won't you try another life, Pierre?" " I'll be at your side, I'll help you." " No." "It's you, at last." "Ah, there you are." "Good, I was really worrying." " It wasn't easy at the station, was it?" " No, but how do you know?" "The whole town knows it." "Pierre is worried, Philippe." "Is there any reason to be afraid now?" "Of course not." "Nobody will come looking for him here." "Don't worry." " You must go or you'll miss your show." " He's right." "Hurry up!" "Do what you usually do." "But come back quickly." "I'll be back in an hour." "Pierre..." "Please be careful." "What are you thinking about?" "Too many things." "About Marie-Ange." "For two years, all I thought about was finding her again, but I haven't found her." "You may be the one who's changed." "It's possible." "Tell me..." "Do you still love her?" "I do." "So what?" "You've seen her often while..." "while I was gone." "As often as I could." "I hope you've talked about me a lot." "A lot more than what's worthwhile." "I feel sorry for you, not being able to believe in anything decent." "I don't need your pity or hers." "I have the right to know why Marie-Ange has changed so much." "Your only right now is the right to save your skin." "Come see!" "See those men near the docks' wall?" "They were there when I arrived." "And there are others everywhere." "I didn't want Marie-Ange to worry but something fishy's going on." "They're up to something." "The police." "I knew it." "Say..." "You trust that boy of yours?" "Ly Fang?" "He's a pirate just like the others." "Why?" "I caught him eavesdropping." "If that blasted monkey is trying to muddy the waters," "I'll throw him overboard." "Come, we'll straighten it out." "Talk or I'll break your neck." "Come on, spit it out!" "Captain always threaten." "Me have to spit it out at police." "Bad for Captain." "Bad for honorable gentleman." "Shut up!" "Don't panic, boss." "We'd like to make a deal with you." "About that gentleman." "Yeah." "Well, speak." "I'm listening." "Well, first we have to tell you that we know about the whole scheme." "We know that the gentleman got ten years and that he managed to make off." "Are you crazy?" "Where'd you get that from?" "My friend has never done time." "He's never..." "Well, Cradel..." "I guess this is your way to ask for the floor." "That's it, boss." "It's to tell you not to waste your time." "No fibs between us." "We know everything." "We even know the gentleman intends to go to America on board the "Marie-Ange"." "And I'm telling you that you were told lies." "Come on, Captain, we'd better work it out." "What's all this stupidity about?" "Between honest people, reaching an understanding is always easy." "If needs be, the police could come and arbitrate." "They're not far off." "And there must be a reward." "That way, we won't lose it all." "Do you think I won't fight back?" "I'll shoot the first one who makes a move." "Honorable gentleman can't count." "Only six bullets in gun." "Impossible kill everyone." "Put it away, Pierre." "Put it away." "It's no use." "Congratulations, my friends." "You're a nice bunch of rascals." "I'll get even with you." "Well, come on." "Get it off your chest." "How much?" " A hundred thousand." " What?" "A hundred thousand!" "You blasted morons!" "A hundred thou?" "Why not one million?" "America at this price, it's for nothing." "No use arguing." "Take it or leave it." "What if I leave?" "Hey, boss." "Watch out." "The police are on the pier." "Follow me." "Bloody hell!" "It's Chapelin of the Special Unit." "Come on!" "Hold this and stay as close to the hull as you can." "Quick!" "Where's the ship's captain?" "Police!" "Coming!" "What's going on?" "It's you, Commissioner." " Good evening, Dejanin." " What's going on?" "I must search the ship." "Don't protest, it's a general procedure." "If you want to see my warrant..." "No need." "I know you're not doing it just to piss people off." "Thank you." "Do it at once." "Have the gangway kept under guard." "Jacquet will see to the crew." "Get a move on!" "So, how are things?" " Good crossing?" " Great!" "What about you?" "Mrs. Chapelin's still in good health?" "She is." "Thank you." "Say, Dejanin." "I heard that your last problem turned out ok." " Last problem?" " Yeah." "Oh yes." "My good faith was borne out." "You see innocence always gets noticed eventually." "Even by the police." "Yes..." "It's very strange." " I like you, Dejanin." " I adore you, Commissioner." "You're what I call a nice rascal." "Do you know where you'll end your life?" "Where I started it, in Brittany." "Yes, could be." "They also have prisons in Brittany." "What exactly are you looking for?" "A pearl necklace?" "No, a man." "But if I told you who, you'd say you've never heard of him." "I don't remember names." "It's one Gohelle." "Pierre?" "You must be joking." "He's serving a ten-year sentence." "Oh, you put that so well." "Hats off!" " What is it?" " We found nothing." "Everything is in order." "Good!" "Gather the men and let's go." "That's it!" "Sorry to have disturbed you." "We don't have so many opportunities of seeing each other." "Indeed." "I like you, Dejanin." "I'd hate to see you mixed up in something ugly." " But be careful, pal, be careful." " Yes, I know." "A dark eye is watching me." "Thank you, Commissioner." " Until next time." " I'll see to it, don't you worry." "You glad." "All over." "Me very worried for honorable gentleman." "You shut your trap and go wait in my cabin." "So, you moron, where do you think we'll find your one hundred thousand?" "You must revise your rates, pal." "I'll be magnanimous." "If your pals accept my friend on board, they'll get a bonus when we reach America." "It's a deal?" "Sorry." "Money first." "If no money first, honorable sir done for." "Leave him alone." "It's no use." " I agree." " You're crazy." "What about the money?" "Don't worry about it." "In a couple of hours, I'll give you the money." "But you must let me leave the boat." "No one can do it but me." "Me must take advice." " You know?" " We heard everything." "It's delicate." "If the gentlemen forgets to come back, we're cheated." "We need to find something." "The board of directors is meeting." "Me may be find something." "Captain write on paper him hide honorable gentleman from police." "Then honorable gentleman may leave ship." "If not come back Captain must pay all the same." "Because paper." "Is that your idea?" "Well you can just croak." "Honorable gentleman die first." "It seems fair, skipper." "A warranty." "A usual thing in business transactions." "Go to hell!" "Philippe." "I ask you to accept." "Sign, I'll get the money." "Don't you realize?" "Such a weapon in the hands of those rascals." "I'll get the money." "Sign, Philippe." "Sign or I'm finished." "Me know all but cannot read." ""I, Dejanin Philippe, captain of the "Marie-Ange", admit having hidden on board my ship to help him escape the police" ""my friend Pierre Gohelle." "Signed, Philippe Dejanin."" "Me agree." "Honorable gentleman know what to do." "Yes." "Don't worry." "Ly Fang, I don't want to catch you off-guard." "Remember what I'll tell you." "You didn't count well, friend." "It will cost you much more than what you'll get." "Get it?" " Philippe, you're a nice guy." " That's enough." "Don't forget that we're both in the same fix." " What do you intend to do?" "Can I help?" " Yes." "I need a quiet place where the police won't come." "I need two hours of quietness." "I may have what you need." "Yeah, that'd be all right." "Come on!" "Smarter to use the lifeboat." "Is it far?" "The old lighthouse at the end of the jetty." "A bleak place." "Just what I need." "You're sure you'll get that money?" "A hundred thousand is a lot of dough." "Why?" "You're scared?" " I'm asking you a question." " So am I." "That's the place." "Grim but quiet." "What will you do now?" "Worried, aren't you" "You think it's the wrong place to find 100,000." "Very wrong." "Or very right." "In such a forsaken place, at night, a gunshot would make less noise than a slap in the face." "You fool, you don't think a ten-year sentence is enough to make me happy?" "There's no corpse in my agenda." "Don't worry!" "It'll just be a loan." " Someone will lend me that money." " Someone will lend you 100,000." "Sure!" " If you had it, would you hesitate?" " No, but I'm your best friend." " And the only one." " Maybe not." "It's a guy I helped get out of a bad situation." "He owes me everything." "I'd rather he owed you 100,000 francs." " You know where the guy is?" " Yes, we traveled together." "He will meet us at 12 at the "Fortuny"." "After what happened, I can't go there but he might come here." " He must only be told." " And he can get such a sum of money?" "He's got it with him." "I admit it's a lucky strike." "The first one tonight." "So?" "Marie-Ange is the least compromised among us three." "You go to the "Fortuny" and tell her to bring him here." " She knows him?" " No, he's a tall fair-haired guy, a sporty type, young." "He wears a big ring on his left hand, a sort of signet ring showing a scowling faun head." "No mistaking him." "Understood." "She's only got to tell him that" "M. Pierre is waiting for him." "He can be asked for in the room but only as a last resort." " His name?" " Ginestier." "Get inside, sir." "Take it, sir." "It brings good luck." "It brings good luck?" "To the florist!" " Buy me a glass of something?" " A glass?" "There you go." "May I?" "You're welcome." "I'm lucky actually." "Waiter!" "A draught beer!" " Yes, Sir..." " What were you saying?" "I said I was lucky because of the chair." "Beside a fine young man, an empty chair is rarely free." "The lady is never very far away." "I'm waiting for a man actually." "Well, sometimes..." "Pretty girl, isn't it?" "Black suits her." "Don't worry, the singer is white." "There's a singer too?" "Of course there's a singer." "And a very good one too." "I think she'll get somewhere, if nothing happens to her." "Beware of women, sir." "One mustn't play with fire." " Why are you telling me this?" " I wonder." "But what is said is said." "Cheers!" "Miss Marie-Ange, you're on." "Yes, all right." "You're going back to him now?" "I can't." "I must keep an eye on the men." " See you later, and don't forget." " No, don't worry." "A ring on the left hand with a scowling faun head." "I hope that man won't refuse." "Pierre seems very sure of himself." "You remember the name:" "Ginestier." "Yes, Ginestier." "Run along, Philippe." "Right." "Bye!" "Funny, isn't it, to meet this way." "Sorry, I didn't understand." "It doesn't matter." "If you're looking under my roof for the reflection of love," "If you're expecting from me neither speech nor vow," "come but beware, if I keep my promises, don't delude yourself:" "I shall never love you." "All men like me." "Why should I love only you?" "Great passions bore me." "I hate jealous men." "It is not in my nature to be faithful." "more than a day." "Gentleman, if I offer adventure, don't believe in love." "Desire of one hour, desire of a night." "Nothing remains" "Hello, Good night." "I belong to no one." "to no one." "or to every one." "If all men like me, why should I love only one?" "Being faithful for more than one day," "Don't believe in love." "Pleasure for one hour," "Pleasure for one night." "Nothing remains." "Hello," "Good evening." "I belong to no one, to no one." "She's beautiful." "If all men like me," "Why should I love only one?" "The door near the cloakroom, it's the first dressing-room on the left." " Pardon?" "Thank you." "Waiter!" "The problem with love is that it complicates other people's lives." " Sorry?" " I'll have another beer." "Yes, sir." "Come in!" " You want Miss Marie-Ange?" " Yes." "This is her dressing-room?" "Yes but she's left." " Left?" " That's all that's left of her." "Already?" "That's not possible." "Didn't you hear me?" "Well..." "Excuse me." "You!" "I have to!" "Thank you, Laura." "You can go." "Sorry." "This was not the gentleman I had to tell you were gone?" "It was." "Only, I changed my mind." "I haven't left." " Must I ask for the other gentleman?" " Yes, hurry up." "So, it's true..." "You had ordered that I should be dismissed." "Yes." "And I'd have let you go if I were wise." "But you seemed so sorry." "You felt remorse?" "Scruples." "I'm rid of them." " Now..." " Don't!" "I feel like it won't be nice." "Now, my good friend, good night." "No." "I would have said it in a nicer way." "Marie-Ange..." "Listen to me!" "I had lost you." "I was facing only emptiness." "Boredom." "Chance made us meet again." "Your friend chance." "And you'd have the heart to send me away." "You'd leave me feeling more lonely than before." "Do you know how I spent my time while I was away from you?" "I thought of how your body weighed in my arms." "You're being ridiculous." "More rain will fall in your lifetime, don't worry." "And you'll meet other women, near other puddles." "Marie-Ange!" "Why don't you want to understand me?" "And if I understood, what could I do about it?" "You don't get into a woman's life, you don't settle in it without even wondering if it's possible." "What do you know about me?" "Nothing." "I know that you're not happy." "Me?" "Let's say you like supposing I'm not." "I know it." "I know it because I'm not happy either." "When two sad people meet, pretending is useless." "They recognize one another." "Oh, sorry!" "What is it?" "I only came to tell you that the gentleman is not there." "You'd have to ask the names of all the gentlemen who come in." "Yes, all right." "Thank you, Laura." "Right, Miss." "Go away!" "We're silly." "All that means nothing." "It does." "It means that this night was made for us and it's so true that it scares you." "Our meeting is fate's charity." "Do not refuse it, Marie-Ange." "Come on!" "You're standing there like a kid, weaving meaningless words." "What about life, my life, what about it?" "I lived before I met you." "One can always free oneself from the past, Marie-Ange." "It only takes a little courage." "And it takes courage to free yourself from this?" " This?" " This wedding-ring?" "It's not a wedding-ring, it's just a ring." "It's too wide." "It's always upside down." "You!" "It's you!" "What?" "I don't understand." " Your name, tell me your name." " Ginestier!" "Alain Ginestier." "Why?" "You're a friend of Pierre's, aren't you?" " Pierre?" " Gohelle." "Pierre Gohelle." "You traveled with him tonight?" "Tonight?" "Ah, Mr. Pierre!" "I'm not really his friend." " We met in the train." " What?" "We were in the same compartment, we talked." " What does it mean?" " Nothing." "You carry a large amount of money, don't you?" " Yes, indeed but..." " He knows about it, you told him?" "I may have." "I think I did." "But tell me what it means." "I'll tell you later." "I must go." "We'll meet at the bar." "Don't leave for any reason." " You promise?" " If you promise you'll come back." "Yes, I will come back." " Alone?" " Alone." " He didn't come to the "Fortuny."" " What?" "He didn't..." " Are you sure?" " Quite sure." "We looked for him everywhere." " He must have forgotten." " Forgotten, of course." "Only the police don't forget." "See?" "There are others waiting." "Exactly the same." "I'll die in there for ten years." "Look, I've got some money, I'll sell my jewels." "Don't talk nonsense." "No, no." "It can't be." "It is not possible." "Why wouldn't he come?" "He insisted." "You don't look well." "My dresser asked for him in the room." "I'm sure of it." "I'm sure that he's waiting for me." "I must go myself." "I'll risk it." "You're crazy." "You can't go out." " Why not?" " Think it over." "You won't get far." "The police are looking for you." " They haven't caught me yet." " Please stay." "I'll find the money." " But don't go out." " Leave me alone." "Pierre!" "It's no use." "He's gone." "What did you say?" "Gone?" "Where is he?" "You saw him?" "You spoke to him?" "Why didn't you bring him here?" "Because you lied: that boy's never been your friend." "Three hours ago you didn't know he existed." "So you've been talking." "Go on." "You never really thought he'd lend you money." "But you thought you'd take it from him, using force if needs be." "You needed me to bring him here." "You knew such a young man would trust a woman." "It seems he trusted you." "If necessary, you'd have killed him." "I didn't want him to die." "You're too soft, Marie-Ange." "It will be your undoing." "I don't want you to kill him." "Of course." "He is so young, so handsome." "Come on." "Spill it out." "Admit it: he moved you, didn't he?" "So you thought of betraying me to save him." "Two birds with one stone!" "Why didn't you bring the police with you?" "Why didn't you bring the police?" "Why?" "You didn't have enough time?" "Bitch!" "Bitch!" "Let go of her!" "Let go of her, Pierre or I'll take you down." "Thank you, Philippe." "One night, on the port of Rotterdam, I saw a sailor who'd killed a woman." "A woman who was not Marie-Ange." "A couple of days later, the sailor was dragged out of the water." "The papers wrote that he'd killed himself." "What do you mean?" "Nothing much." "It's a fleeting memory." "Your memories don't scare me." "Do you know what it's about?" "She sold me out, hear me?" "She's destroyed my only chance of saving my hide." "You're lying." "Once again, you're lying." "I only stopped you from committing a murder." " Philippe, you must be believe me." " I believe you, Marie-Ange." "All the more because I was suspecting something too." "Did you think you'd have made her an accessory to murder?" "Another shared memory." " I forbid you." " You be quiet." "No, I won't stop talking." "I've done so too long." "Too many things make me suffocate tonight." "You're nothing but a scoundrel, Pierre." "For years now, you've destroyed everything in my life." "Everything worthwhile, everything clean." "You say that I've just sold you out." "No, I've just redeemed myself." " I'll always feel sorry." " You will?" "I'll make you feel sorry for it all." " Let him be, Marie-Ange." " But..." "Get away!" "As long as I'm alive, he won't get at you." "I suppose you know where to go." " Yes." " He's waiting for you, isn't he?" "The other man." "Yes." "Am I a monster, Philippe?" "You're in love." "It's somewhat the same." "Good luck." "Thank you, Philippe." "You let her go?" "I advised her to go." "You fool!" "Do you know where she'll go?" "To the other man." "She loves him." "They'll go away together." " Let me go." " No." "You don't realize." "She's running away." "She's been taken away from me." "It's the end." "What about you?" "Are you forgetting..." "You're forgetting the paper you signed." " I'm not." " Get out of my way." " No!" " Listen..." "Marie-Ange is my whole life." "My life's been stolen from me." "I must go to her." "Nobody will stop from going to her." "No one." "I've always thought that one day I'd grant Marie-Ange a big favor." "Philippe..." "Please let me go or I'll shoot." "I swear that I'll shoot." "Shoot, pal, shoot." "It's not your fault." "The world is bad." "Here you are at last." "I was really worried." "How pale you are!" "Your hands are ice-cold." "I was frightened." "I wondered if you'd wait for me." "You promised you'd be back." "I almost didn't come back." "We can't stay here." "Let's go." "In a while." "A glass of spirits will do you good." "Waiter!" " Something strong." " Yes, sir." "Now, tell me what's going on." "You know Gohelle?" "What is he to you?" "My past." "That past which you say we can always free ourselves of." "You're scared of that man." "Is he so fearsome?" "As all those who've got nothing to lose." "Alain..." " I'm frightened." " Did he threaten you?" "He wanted your money to escape." "I wouldn't let you get into the trap he had devised." "And he knows now why I chose your life." "Instead of his." " Marie-Ange!" " Let's go, Alain." "If he escaped Dejanin, this is the first place he'd come to." " Dejanin?" " A friend." "The only obstacle between Pierre and us." "Barman." "I'll have..." "a draught beer." "All right, sir." "Lager or ale?" "Ale." "To drink to a dead man's health." "To a dead man?" "Yep." "Barman, life is just a bad joke." "Yet some find it too short!" "I'll have another one." "So, someone died." "Three bullets." "He didn't get a choice." "He was found on the jetty, 200 yards from here." "A sad end for a captain." " He's a captain." " He was a captain." "Yeah, a nice bad sort of captain." "The late Philippe Dejanin." "What?" "Dejanin?" "Marie-Ange's Dejanin?" "Did you hear, Miss?" "Captain Dejanin is dead." "You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs." "Another beer." "He killed Philippe." "It's horrible." "I'm scared, Alain." "Come on, come on quick." " That's something." " It's not over yet." "In a classical love drama, pal, you need two corpses at least." "You're really cheerful." "You must always cut your losses, barman, always." "My umbrella!" "Another nut case." "We're being followed." "Do try to calm yourself." "I can take care of myself." "And above all I can take care of you." "You don't know him." "His law tonight is killing." "He'd shoot you down before you could try anything." "Once more I beg you to leave this town." "For a few hours." "Just for a few hours." "I've already told you that I can't." "I must get on board the "Saturnia"" "To me it matters as much as living or dying." "Another ship is sailing in three days' time." "No, Marie-Ange." "I must leave, more than ever." "Will you leave with me?" "If God and Pierre allow me to." "Alain, I'm all through." "I feel, I know that he is following us." "Like animals." "I didn't have mercy upon Philippe, how could he have mercy upon you?" "We'll see." "Meanwhile, we can't go on running in the streets." "That would be wiser but I'm exhausted." "Come on." "Ah, Chapelin." "What's new?" " Nothing yet, sir." " My orders?" "Carried out, sir." "Two men at each end of the street, the others here." "If he comes, he'll be caught." "If he comes." "Gohelle is no fool." "But he is in love." "People in love are fools." "If the girl comes back home, as I hope she will, he'll come back too." "Have you an opinion about love, Chapelin?" "Sometimes, sir." "Especially in the morning." "Good!" "Policing, you see, is psychology in action." "Look, sir, the woman is coming." "She's not alone." "Now careful!" "if he comes around," "I don't want to endanger your men's lives." "The law says it all, sir." "First a warning shot, he's asked to surrender and if he misbehaves, we shoot him down." "Shoot at him first then the warning shot, it's safer." " You're admiring my attic." " We're getting acquainted." "Here I am suddenly in the heart of your life." "As if I had just found a secret." "You're learning something from it?" "It's another Marie-Ange, not Marie-Ange at the Fortuny." "Neither the Marie-Ange of the wind, nor the rain, it's the one I had worked out." "At your age you don't work women out, you invent them." "The women, maybe but you..." "I must be crazy." "Yesterday, I didn't know you existed." "And today I'm here, wishing that happiness looks like you." " You've got doubts?" " Yes." "I'm a bit like poor children on Christmas Eve:" "presents frighten me." "Come on, I'll show you the best part of my flat." "And I have no part in it." "Here's my view." "The sun rises just there." "In the morning, the shadows of the port brush against the house." "In the evening the shadow of the house meets the port's." "I only have to open the window for the night to enter my place." "Each foghorn that moans is a friend's wave." "Each boat that left the port took me on board." "Marie-Ange..." "In a few hours, we'll leave all that behind." "Pierre..." "Don't shoot!" "I beg you, Pierre." "Surprised to see me, Mr. Ginestier?" "We had an appointment tonight, I was expecting you." "Throw away your gun." "You won't have anything to expect." "I have no doubt about that." "Your wallet, quick!" "I said quick!" "Alain..." "Pick it up!" "Pick it up or I'll shoot him." "Open up!" "Open up!" "The police!" "They mustn't know." "Say nothing." " Why?" " Don't say a word." "Not a word!" "Where is he?" "Where's Gohelle?" " I don't understand." " You answer!" "I don't know." "I haven't seen Pierre since..." "Since the last time." "Yes, I know." "A gun was fired here two minutes ago." " It's me." "I fired by mistake." " Of course." "What about your tie, your torn collar?" "What about that?" "The air moving?" "I tell you nothing happened that is your concern." "I fired a shot." "So, where's the gun?" "I threw it down in the street." "Are you taking me for a fool?" "If I may, Chapelin..." "Yes." "Fate has us meet again." "Chief Inspector Sorbier, of the Judicial Police." "Young man, your story doesn't add up." " It's the truth though." " Come on, don't be ridiculous." "My friend Chapelin now thinks you're Gohelle's associate." "Silly but reasonable." "I advise you to tell the truth." "But I've got nothing to say." "Pity!" "I like talking." "Your ID, please." "ID!" "I've got no ID." "I must have lost it." "You had a beautiful wallet before." "Where is it?" "You're really too stupid." "Too bad!" "Chapelin, put that guy inside." "He needs to be lonely." "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." " The flat is empty." "Nothing suspect." " Indeed." " What are the orders, sir?" " We're leaving." "What about the woman?" "Shall we take her?" "We're not carrying out a raid." "We're making an investigation." "Good night, Miss." "Sir..." "Please let me talk two minutes to... to the gentleman." "What's your opinion?" " It's totally against the law, Sir." " We must have no hesitation then." "All right." "Try to talk him into reason." "It's incredible how that young man complicates my existence." " But..." " Come on, let's go!" " We'll wait for him outside." " But, Sir..." "I said: outside." "Alain, look at me." "What does it mean?" " I'm done for, Marie-Ange." " Done for?" "But why?" "Why do you fear the police?" "Tell me, I want the truth." "The truth!" "Ten times already I've tried to tell you." "I couldn't do it." "Aren't I your friend?" "You can tell me anything, Alain." "I've heard everything already." "I lied to you, Marie-Ange." "The money that was taken from me is not mine." "I'm a poor devil, a cashier in a small bank who gets 1,800 francs a month." "I stole." "Alain..." "It can't be." "No, no, not you." "For months the same demon was clinging to my shoulders and I fought to escape him." "But last night, he was the stronger." "My life, the monotonous life of a small clerk, was a heavier burden than ever." "I only had to reach out." "I stole, Marie-Ange." " My poor darling." " I didn't take this money because it was money, no." "I took it as you open a door to run away." "Yes." "There were three of us tonight who believed in running away." "I had a whole night before me, a fortune in my pocket, a ship to escape on." "To all those chances, fate added another one for fun." "The most beautiful, the most unexpected." "You, Marie-Ange." "It's over." "So, you've had your chat?" "I'm waiting for you." "Farewell, Marie-Ange." "Alain!" "You have nothing to fear." "What do you think of that ending?" "Unexpected, isn't it?" "They were looking for a murderer, they catch a thief." "They won't go back empty-handed." " You heard?" " Yes." "I came back onto the terrace after the police had seen it was empty." "It allowed me to enjoy your parting scene." "I suffered more listening to you than I did while shooting Philippe." "Marie-Ange..." "I came to take you back." "No, don't talk, Pierre." "I owe you all the bad things in my life." "Go away!" "You love your handsome young man, right?" "Yet he is no better than I." "He's a thief like me." "He'll know the same prisons as I." "When he comes out, you won't see the difference with me." "Shut up, you're horrible." "He will be too." "Now, listen..." "I'm rich now." "You don't love me, I know, but with money, everything can be bought, can be replaced." "Even love." " No, Pierre." " Marie-Ange..." "Marie-Ange, don't send me away." "I'm a poor fellow who's always had one thought in life:" "you." "You're bleeding." " My arm must have..." " You can't stay like that." "Come on!" "So you don't hate me." "I wish no harm, Pierre." "But I wouldn't do anything to save you." " You're not worth it." " And for him, what would you do?" "Anything." " You'd turn me in?" " No, not that." "Wait, I'll get what's needed." " Are you coming?" " Yes, in a minute." "You don't want to say anything because of the woman." "Another of these blasted love stories." "You know, it could go bad for you." "Can you hear me?" "You don't look well, Chapelin." "Are you all right?" "He's a wall, but I'll get him." "Young man, I feel sorry for you." "I'm starting to think you feel guilty about something." "Not saying anything is another way of talking." "Let her in." "Very interesting." "Marie-Ange!" "Marie-Ange: it's the only thing you say but you say it very well." "The solution, I guess." "The end of a misunderstanding in any case." "I found Mr. Ginestier's wallet after you were gone." "Open it, you'll find his ID." "All this seems to be in order." "One second." "I'd like to know the motive for your journey." "Why did you come?" "Don't try to make me believe it was just for pleasure." " But, I..." " He came to see me." "It was worth coming, don't you think?" "You're free to go." "Free?" "Me?" " But Sir..." " Keep quiet, Chapelin." "Good luck." "Come quick." "Chapelin, take four reliable men and let's go." "I won't try to understand, Sir." "This guy is a suspect." "Why let him go?" " The law is strict." " Well, the law..." "It won't be the first time that the law is slightly broken." "It's been said for so long that Justice is lame." "Taxi!" "Taxi!" "To the station, quickly!" "I don't understand, why go to the station?" "Because the last train for Paris leaves in seven minutes and you're taking it." "What?" "But Marie-Ange..." "Here!" "You'll get to Paris at eight." "At nine, you'll go to your bank like a good employee." "You'll put that money back and nothing will have happened." "Nothing." "I'm right, trust me." "You know very well what I take you away from and what you go back to." "Two men were lost tonight because they did not retrace their steps." "I don't want you to be like them." "What about you?" "Tomorrow, I'll be with you." "I can't leave tonight." "I must break my moorings first." "Marie-Ange, you swear that you'll come?" "I will come." "When you leave your bank tomorrow, I'll be there." "You'll only have to take a few steps to be near me." "All your life." "If it means sharing my life with you, I'm all for it." "I'll always be." "I've wanted you like this." "It's my love I fight for, Alain." "It's all that you carry inside you that's young and clean." "All I'll need to live from now on." "Go get your ticket." "Passengers to Paris will please board." "To Paris please." "Pierre..." "What are you doing?" "No..." "We've got you." "Take him away." " You're wounded?" " No." "Let me get through." "Leave me alone." "Leave me alone." "All aboard." "Alain..." " Hurry up, darling." " Until tomorrow, my love." "Until tomorrow." "Until tomorrow." "My beautiful love."

"That is how I define innocent." "We are not here to air past differences." "Then why are we here, Mr. President?" "At our last meeting," "I informed you that we were in contact with Assad." "You told me it was a positive step toward peace." "And I meant it at that time, but I must confess, after the last attack," "I didn't expect to see you in the same room with him." "And I'm not so sure I care to remain here either." "It is no more pleasant for me," "Your Excellency." "Would you give us a moment?" "Certainly." "Assad is here because of the attack." "To be frank, sir, we have three more nuclear weapons loose in my country in the hands of terrorists." "We didn't know that." "In less than one hour" "Assad is going to go on national television and issue a statement." "It will be a global appeal to extremists." "Now, he's going to urge them to put down their arms and engage in peaceful negotiation with the West." "Now, we are hoping to compel someone to come forward with any information regarding those nuclear weapons." "A petition like this coming from Assad?" "It could have a profound effect." "We're counting on that." "What do you need from us?" "I want a public statement of support from your Prime Minister." "And I want it to follow right on the heels of Assad's." "Mr. Assad is a polarizing figure in my country." "A public endorsement of him could have grave political consequences for the Prime Minister." "Then you tell your Prime Minister that we have a carrier group operating less than 25 miles off his shores." "My advisors are pressing me hard for a military response, so if we are attacked again," "I won't be able to hold them off." "This is sounding like an ultimatum, Mr. President." "It's not an ultimatum, Mr. Ambassador." "I'm merely pointing out the fact that neither the Prime Minister nor I have the luxury of worrying about political consequences on a day like today." "I am putting my presidency on the line, so please, stop handing me excuses." "Get on the phone and make this happen." "Nadia, what's the status?" "Turner's team just completed their second sweep of the house." "But the results were negative." "If Gredenko was using this address, he did a really good job cleaning up after he left." "There was one operating land line." "Morris is checking on the router to see if there's any recent activity." "Morris?" "Morris?" "!" "Yes." "Any luck on the land line?" "No." "I mean, not yet." "They must have used an inverter to stack their calls 'cause I can't get any records out." "MARCY:" "Mr. Buchanan," "Jack Bauer's on the line." "Go ahead, Jack." "Bill, I'm near the airport across the street from the Grandmont Hotel." "I know." "What's going on?" "It's complicated." "Are the units dispatched?" "We have two units on the way to the Grandmont." "I'll have them meet you." "Okay, I want you to contact LAPD." "Have them set up a five-block perimeter around the hotel." "They need to locate my father and take him into custody." "Your father?" "He's involved in this." "I'll debrief you as soon as we've got time." "Were you able to pick up anything on Gredenko?" "No." "The Glasgow Street house was deserted." "We're processing it for clues, but so far we've come up empty." "We can't be sure Gredenko was even there." "I think I might have a lead." "What is it?" "Charles Logan." "Logan?" "I spoke to him." "He says he has information on Gredenko." "How the hell did you trace this to Logan?" "Through my father." "Bill, I need you to get me a helicopter that can take me to him." "He's at his retreat in Hidden Valley." "He's under house arrest." "House arrest?" "How was that possible?" "He was involved in the murder of David Palmer." "He brokered a closed-door deal." "He plead guilty to obstruction of justice." "The public never even knew of his involvement in aiding terrorists or David Palmer's assassination." "Give me that helicopter." "We have one in the area." "Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to have it rerouted to your location." "Thank you." "Marilyn." "Jack." "What happened?" "My father escaped." "I don't know where he is." "He might be in the area." "I want you both to go back to CTU." "Josh, I know that there's a lot to explain, and I promise you when this is over, you and I are going to sit down and I will talk you through what happened." "Okay." "Let's go." "You're not coming with us?" "No, Gredenko wasn't at the house." "I need to follow up another lead." "Take these people back to CTU." "Yes, sir." "Josh, get in." "Jack... thank you." "Thank you for saving my son." "He reminds me of you." "You can see it in his eyes." "Marilyn, please, you have to go." "Okay." "Gentlemen." "Sign in, sirs." "We'll need to process you again," "Mr. Carson." "Of course." "What's your occupation?" "I'm a policy analyst with the Stanton Institute." "State your business here." "I'm here to consult on civil defense procedures." "At the request of Tom Lennox." "Test, one, two, three." "(recording):" "Test, one, two, three." "Thank you, sirs." "Thank you." "Thank you." "We've got a problem." "Tom Lennox tried to warn Secret Service about us." "What?" "!" "I stopped him before he was able to alert anyone." "But I had to restrain him." "You said that Lennox was on board with the plan." "I thought that he was." "Either he's changed his mind or you're right and he's been playing us all along." "Regardless, we're gonna have to deal with it." "Son of a bitch." "We've got to move him." "I'm going to need this space." "Get me some tape." "Let's go, over here." "Sit down, hands behind your back." "We're going to have to take care of him." "Make it look like a suicide." "No." "No." "Listen, eliminating President Palmer is for the good of the country, all right?" "It's the only way to get him out of office." "Killing Tom Lennox only benefits us." "We don't have any choice." "Listen." "Tom Lennox is a very smart man." "Now I think that once Vice President Daniels is holding the reins, and enacting the policies that Lennox himself created, we can convince him to keep quiet." "I'm not gambling my life on Lennox's good judgment." "Look, it's a risk, but it is a risk that I'm willing to take." "We're not cold-blooded murderers." "We're just trying to save our country." "Either way, we do not have time to resolve this now." "Assad goes before the cameras within an hour." "You said it would take 25 minutes for you to assemble this?" "25 to 30." "Then you better get started now." "If we're going to frame Assad for the assassination, then this bomb has to explode when they're both together." "Reed." "Yes, Melinda." "I'm still waiting for the briefing stats that Tom promised me." "Well Tom just e-mailed them to you." "They should be on your screen by the time you're back at your desk." "By the way, is Tom in his office?" "Uh, no, no." "Um, no, Tom is down in Conference B." "He's meeting with some policy analysts from Langley." "I just came from Conference B." "Secret Service is meeting in there." "Well, they must have switched to another room, then." "Listen, I'll try to track Tom down for you." "(sighs)" "What is it, Morris?" "I have to uplink these traffic vectors to the Homeland sub-net." "I've been trying, I've been trying and it just won't go through." "Check your S.I.P. adapter." "What about my S.I.P. adapter?" "You've specified the wrong slot assignment." "Oh, what an idiot." "Thank you." "That'll work." "Did you call your sponsor?" "I'm getting tired of you giving me the third degree." "Yeah, well, I covered for you." "I didn't tell anyone you took a drink." "I didn't take a drink-- I spat it out." "I told you." "You promised me you'd call your sponsor." "And I did." "Well?" "We had this long talk." "I feel a lot better, really." "You're not acting like it." "Why don't we install a breathalyzer at my work station?" "Will that satisfy you?" "I just want to make sure you're okay." "I helped terrorists arm a nuclear bomb today." "I'm not going to be okay for a long time." "That doesn't mean to say I can't do my job." "Now if you'll excuse me," "I have to swap out this server port." "Where's Morris?" "He's swapping out a server port." "He's supposed to be checking on Gredenko's landline." "Well, he's juggling a lot right now." "Being short-handed, we're all trying to pick up the slack." "Now, I'm wondering if it's more than that." "What?" "Look, he's been tortured." "He's under a lot of stress." "Maybe he should be pulled." "Yeah, he's a little upset, but he's still better than 90% of the tech people we have around here." "We need Morris on the floor." "All right, Chloe, but I'm keeping my eye on him." "If I see anything else I don't like," "I go to Buchanan." "Fine." "( recording ):" "Hi, this is Jeannie." "I'm not here right now, but please leave a message and the time of day you called and I'll get back to you." "Hi, Jeannie, this is Chloe O'Brian." "You don't know me, but I'm Morris's ex-wife." "Could you call me back as soon as possible?" "It's important." "I'm at (310) 597-3781." "Thank you." "Nadia, Jack will be arriving at Logan's estate any moment." "I want tac teams on alert and prepped for redeployment." "Yes, sir." "We're out of leads." "Let's hope Jack can get something from Logan." "Could we have a moment, please?" "Must have been hard for you to find out about your father's involvement in all of this." "I'm not here to talk about my father." "Dmitri Gredenko-- what do you know about him?" "I know Gredenko supplied Fayed with five Russian tactical nukes, one of which exploded this morning in Valencia." "One of which you managed to disarm, so that leaves us three we need to recover." "That's correct." "I get regular intelligence updates." "And I still have my sources." "So you need Gredenko to find Fayed." "Can you help us?" "Yes, I can." "But you want some kind of plea agreement." "You're unbelievable." "I don't blame you for thinking that, Jack." "But I want you to know that I'm not the same man that I was two years ago." "Just as you're not the same man who was dragged away and thrown into a Chinese prison." "I've changed." "I've had time to think about what I did." "I have reconnected with my faith." "So, no, I don't want a pardon." "And I wouldn't accept it if it was offered to me." "What do you want?" "Nothing." "I want to give you the information you need with no conditions." "I'm listening." "I never dealt with Gredenko directly, but I know how we can find him." "How?" "Through Anatoly Markov." "He's the Russian Consul General, here in Los Angeles." "CTU contacted the Consul General as soon as we saw Gredenko's name on the list." "He denied any knowledge of his whereabouts." "Markov's lying." "He's been the liaison for Gredenko for years." "Liaison for what?" "For business concerns looking to acquire the products that Gredenko provides." "No, don't." "Don't make the wrong play, Jack." "Now if you go down official channels, you'll end up in a hopeless maze." "Markov has friends in the highest levels of the Russian government." "They can protect him indefinitely." "If you want to access what he knows right now, you need to go through back channels." "What back channels?" "Me." "I'm your best chance to get the information you need in the time frame you need it." "What are you proposing?" "That I speak to Markov myself, in person." "Why would Markov talk to you?" "Because I have leverage." "Markov was involved in the conspiracy that put me where I am today." "I didn't give him up." "But he knows I still can." "I don't trust you." "Go ahead, Jack." "Mr. President, thank you for taking my call." "You said it was urgent." "I think we have a way of finding Gredenko." "It was my understanding that we lost Gredenko." "Are you telling me we have a new lead?" "Yes, sir." "Mr. President, the lead is Charles Logan." "Logan?" "Yes, sir." "I'm with him now." "He claims that his administration had dealings with Gredenko, and that he has a contact that will lead us to him." "Who?" "AAnatolyotoly Markov-- the Russian Consul in Los Angeles." "When we learned about Gredenko, Jack," "I placed a call to the Consulate myself." "Now that's a dead end." "Not according to Logan." "He wants to meet with Markov in the Consulate in person." "He says that's the only way that we can get the information we need." "Jack..." "Logan is under house arrest." "That's why I'm calling you, Mr. President." "We need an executive order granting Logan a temporary furlough." "Do you realize what you're asking me?" "Logan was behind the assassination of my brother." "Sir, I would not be calling if I didn't think this was necessary." "I don't trust this man, Jack." "This could be some maneuver on his part to gain his freedom." "I think we need to take a chance on him, and I will enter the Consulate with Logan as part of his security detail." "Besides that, I think he's after something else." "And what exactly would that be?" "Redemption." "Jack, I have no desire to facilitate any kind of redemption for Charles Logan." "Mr. President, right now I think he's the only way we're going to find Gredenko and the bombs." "Put him on." "He wants to talk to you." "Hello, Mr. President." "I want to hear it from your lips." "Tell me why I should agree to this." "Because you need me, Mr. President." "It's as simple as that." "I can speak to the Russian Consul myself." "Yes, sir, you could do that, but with all due respect, you'd be wasting your time." "I have a prior relationship with Markov that... we can exploit." "Again, with due respect, sir," "I have more experience dealing with people of Markov's character." "You mean criminals like yourself?" "I know how he thinks, and that's an advantage you can't afford to ignore." "I want you to know that if this is some kind of move to escape custody," "I will commit the resources of my administration to hunt you down." "I can assure you, Mr. President," "I have nothing like that in mind." "Several years ago, I was in the same situation, and I... reached out to your brother for counsel." "David helped me successfully navigate that crisis." "Yes." "He did." "And you repaid him by killing him." "I would like to do for you what your brother did for me." "I would like to help you get through this." "Don't make the mistake of assuming this represents any kind of forgiveness on my part." "I understand that, Mr. President, but I hope over time to earn your forgiveness." "Put Jack on the phone." "Yes, Mr. President?" "I'm granting the furlough." "Just make it count, Jack." "I'll do my best." "Thank you, Mr. President." "This isn't easy for you, is it, Jack?" "What?" "The possibility I may not be the same man you've hated for so long." "You're late." "Did you have any trouble?" "We had to bypass a vehicle inspection in Riverside." "Other than that, we had a smooth trip." "Good." "Let's have a look." "Open up." "The U.S. military has spent millions to develop this drone." "Today American taxpayers will get a demonstration of... what their money has produced." "According to Charles Logan, Anatoly Markov, the head of the Russian Consulate in Los Angeles, has information on Gredenko." "Logan and Bauer are going to see Markov now." "I want comm locked on any communication outside and possibly inside the Consulate." "Morris, are you still the lead on decoding diplomatic communication leaving the Consulate?" "Yes." "I want you to hand that over to Chloe." "Why?" "Because of what you've been through today." "I'm not sure you can handle it, and we can't afford any mistakes." "Look, I'm perf..." "Chloe, I want you to take over Morris's workload on the Consulate." "Hold on a second." "It's okay, Morris." "No." "No, no, it's not okay." "It's-It's not okay." "I..." "I'd like to say something to everyone." "I'm very sorry that I gave the reprogramming device to Fayed." "If I could take it back, I would, but I can't." "And if you don't think I can do my job," "Mr. Buchanan, then I should leave." "But I can do my job." "Okay, Morris." "Give your task full priority." "Thank you." "Mr. Buchanan, I have to disagree with your decision." "I'm sorry, Morris, but I just don't think you're ready." "Your objection is noted, Nadia." "My decision stands." "You're wasting your energy." "And you're distracting me." "The President's gonna die." "There's nothing you can do about it." "People are starting to ask questions about Tom's whereabouts." "Are you on schedule?" "I told you the bomb would be ready in 30 minutes, and I meant it." "Okay." "(exhales)" "Is there a problem?" "No." "You can't go soft on us now, Reed." "REED:" "No, it's... it's just starting to hit me." "(sighs):" "What we're about to do." "My God... we're killing the President of the United States." "We're trying to save this country." "Chloe, look at the function prototypes on Morris's report." "What's the problem?" "Take a look." "You mean the missing sectors?" "Yes, the missing sectors." "Did Buchanan make a mistake by reinstating Morris too soon?" "No." "The Pentagon put a file lock on these items." "I told him we could back-fill them later." "It's not gonna be to anyone's benefit if you're covering for him." "I'm not." "Fine." "Morris, I need you to tell me the truth." "Have you been drinking?" "I just had a couple of beers, love." "I didn't think anyone would mind." "Don't be sarcastic." "Your data merge is incomplete." "I had to cover for you." "I just told Nadia..." "Whoa, wait." "What was incomplete?" "Look." "Oh, for crying out loud, these sectors are irrelevant." "I only fill them in when I file my final report." "You know that Nadia wants these completed." "Nadia only wants to prove to Buchanan that she was right and that I shouldn't be here." "No one is out to get you." "Look, even I know that I shouldn't be here." "There's a big part of me that wants to go home, crawl into bed and forget this day ever happened." "But I'm staying, because CTU needs me." "(sighs)" ""He brought me out of a horrible pit," ""set my feet upon a rock... and established my goings."" "One step at a time, Charles." "One step at a time." "Logan's almost ready-- we should be able to get to the Consulate within 45 minutes." "What have you got on Markov?" "We ran his name through the interagency sub-net." "He's a career diplomat." "Assigned Consul General in '96." "Prior to that, worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the Russian Federation." "No red flags from NSA, Interpol or CIA." "As far as they're concerned, he's clean." "Jack, what if Logan isn't telling the truth?" "We're out of options-- I have to trust him." "You know, we have no jurisdiction at the Consulate." "Just make sure you have teams ready in case Logan's lead pans out." "All right." "O'Brian." "Chloe, contact the Highway Patrol." "Have them clear a ground corridor from Logan's estate to the Russian Consulate." "Yes, sir." "(phone rings)" "(Chloe sighs)" "(phone rings)" "Hello?" "Yeah, hi." "This is Jeannie." "You left me a message?" "Yeah." "Thanks for getting back to me." "So, what can I do for you?" "Look, I know you talked to Morris earlier, and that this is probably way out of line and against your confidentiality agreement, but it's just, I'm really worried about him." "I-I'm sorry, I haven't spoken to Morris since I left the program three years ago." "Hello?" "Okay." "Sorry to bother you." "Have you seen Morris?" "No." "I'm sorry." "(sighs)" "Is Morris down there?" "MAN:" "I haven't seen him." "Morris?" "Chloe?" "Morris, what are you doing in there?" "What?" "Wait." "Open the door!" "Open the door!" "What the bloody hell is going on?" "I called your sponsor, Jeannie." "She said she hasn't talked to you in three years." "Are you out of your bleeding mind?" "!" "I trusted you" " I put my job on the line for you." "You lied to me." "I didn't lie to you." "Yes, you did." "I didn't lie to you-- Jeannie's not my sponsor anymore;" "Ted is." "Ted?" "Yeah." "Remember Ted with the hair?" "He's my sponsor." "I called him just like I told you." "Check if you want-- I'll give you his number." "Not now!" "I don't know what to say." "I was worried about you." "Marching into a men's room isn't worried, it's obsessed." "Now, I appreciate your concern." "I love your concern." "But, darling, you have to take a look at what's going on in your head." "It's not pretty." "Sorry." "(sighs)" "Mr. President." "From the Attorney General, sir." "The executive order authorizing President Logan's release." "Thank you, Melinda." "The communications director wanted you to know that they'll be ready for an on-camera rehearsal with Assad in five minutes." "Fine." "Melinda?" "Have we heard from Tom Lennox?" "No, sir." "I've been trying him." "There's no answer at his office." "Find him." "I want him present for Assad's statement." "Yes, sir." "(coughing)" "(coughing continues)" "(coughing) Sir." "I'm gonna take that off of you, and I'm gonna clean up that cut, but if you try to call out," "Carson will kill you and I cannot stop him." "Do you understand?" "Okay." "(coughing continues)" "You have got to put a stop to this, Reed." "No, Mr. Lennox." "When this is done and the President is out of the way," "I think that you will see things differently." "I think that you will see that this is... better for our country." "No, you're going to destroy this country, Reed." "You're just as bad as Fayed." "No, no." "There must have been a moment when you were onboard with this plan." "Were you playing us from the beginning?" "Hmm?" "Were you?" "Or did you change your mind along the way?" "I need to know." "Then know this." "I was against you from the start." "(phone ringing)" "That's..." "(phone ringing) ...very disappointing." "Hello." "Yes, hello, Melinda." "Oh, yes, I'm just with Tom right now." "He's just finishing the briefing." "You know, I-I understand." "I will let Mr. Lennox know right away." "Okay?" "Thanks." "The President is asking for Lennox." "We've gotta move." "I'm almost done." "Finished." "It's armed." "Okay." "Now... this is the detonator." "Press 6-2-4-Enter, and a signal will activate the bomb." "Okay." "6-2-4-Enter." "Once the signal's been sent, it'll take 15 seconds for the chemicals to intermix." "The kill radius is only ten feet." "Make sure Palmer's inside it." "You sure you can do it?" "I'm the only one who can get close enough to that podium without attracting attention." "I can do this." "All right, everyone, rehearsal's up in five minutes." "Please notify the President." "(clearing throat)" "Excuse me, could we have some water for the podium?" "Sure." "Thank you." "The President is traveling." "Before we continue," "I would just like to express my appreciation." "You're taking a great risk, Mr. President." "You and I both are sharing that risk, sir, and maybe that, in and of itself, is something of a victory." "I just hope that someone will listen to our appeal." "You sound skeptical." "The people we're trying to reach, they abandoned the political process a long time ago." "All we need to do is create a foundation... to build on." "The rest will follow." "Reed." "This is Hamri Al-Assad." "Mr. Pollock is our deputy chief of staff." "How do you do?" "Hello, sir." "If you wouldn't mind getting comfortable behind the podium, I'd like to speak to Reed for a minute, please." "Of course." "Mr. Al-Assad?" "ASSAD:" "Yes." "Would you like to review the teleprompter copy before you rehearse?" "ASSAD:" "That would be fine." "I've been trying to reach Tom for the past hour." "Is there something I should know?" "Something you should know, Mr. President?" "Reed..." "I know how Tom feels about this address, but I was under the impression that he put his opposition aside and was working with me to make this policy succeed." "Well, I-I'm sure that that's a valid impression, Mr. President." "Then he'll be here." "Yes." "Yes, sir, he will, he will be here." "Good." "(alarm blaring)" "(alarm stops)" "You try that again and I'll kill you, you understand?" "I should kill you anyway." "With the President dead, nobody's going to think too hard about why his chief of staff hanged himself." "All right." "Here we go for rehearsal." "I'm gonna go and check on Tom, Mr. President." "I'll give you a seven-second countdown." "The last four seconds will be silent." "All right, here we go in seven... six... five..." "What is this?" "Bomb!" "Mr. President!" "(alarm blaring)" "Let's go." "Fan out." "Find him." "Got him!" "Code 5 in Sector Three." "The Citadel has been hit." "Send a medical team." "I repeat, Citadel is down." "Send a medical team now."

"(TV) We now return to "Sherry and the Anus"." " Anus, are you still up?" " Yeah, come on in, sis." "Have you ever had to tell a lie in order to keep a friend?" "Well, the other day I told Jane her blouse was pretty when it was really pee-ew." "(audience laughs)" "Anus, I'm serious." "Look, sometimes it's better to tell a little fib than to hurt someone's feelings." " You're the best." " (laughs)" "(cheerful music)" "Oh, that was good." "Funnier than the one where Anus got the hamster stuck in his mouth." "It seems today that all you see" "Is violence in movies and sex on TV" "But where are those good old-fashioned values" "On which we used to rely?" "Lucky there's a family guy" "Lucky there's a man who positively can do all the things that make us" "Laugh and cry" "He's a family guy" "Ah, the old alma mater." "I tell you, there's something magical about Brown." "Brown's the colour of poo!" "Yes." "Yes, it is." "Oh, I haven't been on a college campus in years." " Everything seems so different." " Really?" "If you laid on your back with your ankles behind your ears that would ring a bell." "Excuse me." "We're here to see the dean." "Nobody sees the dean." "Not nobody, not nohow." "I'm sorry." "Can I help you?" "Yes, this is Meg Griffin." "She's here to see the dean of admissions and we'd, uh, like it if she got into the university." " Go on." "Take it." " Wait over there." "My days in college were so exciting." "This one time the National Guard came and shot some of my friends." "You must be the Griffins." "Come in." "Oops." "Honey, you got a little smudge." "Hey, you got something on your other cheek too." " And this is Pembroke Quad." " Oh, very nice." "Very Brideshead Revisited." "Being on this campus really brings back memories." "(gasps)" "Cowards!" "What ho?" "A veritable bevy of co-eds." "Um... the recent campus sporting event was most disappointing for our side, wasn't it?" "Oh, aren't you adorable?" "Are you in a fraternity, little boy?" "Not yet, but I'm thinking about joining I Phelta Thi." "Oh." "So, what do you think of this "music television"?" "If I remember correctly, this is the physics department." "That explains all the gravity." "I say!" "It's like the spice rack in my fantasy kitchen!" "Hold on, little fella!" "This is just for big people." "Why don't you come back in about 17 years?" "But the shelf life of that Sodium Pentothal is only two years and..." "Blast!" "This isn't the first time I've been thwarted by my small stature." "OK, our next lot is number 15 in your programme." "This is a one-of-a-kind item, a super-mega death ray." "It's got the power to enslave the entire human race." "Do we have an opening bid?" "(Stewie) Ooh!" "Ooh!" "Ooh!" " Anything?" " Ooh!" "Ooh!" " We'll take any bid." " (Stewie) Here!" "It can enslave the human race." "Come on." "It's solid titanium." "(Stewie) You!" "Here in the back!" " Do I hear $100?" "$5?" " (Stewie) Oh, come on." " (Stewie) Yeah!" "Ooh!" " Free?" " Enslave the human race." " Behind the fat chick!" " Nope?" " (Stewie) D'oh!" "OK." "(Stewie) Ooh!" "Ooh!" "Argh!" "I'm tired of being small." "I wish I was big." "Blast!" "Well, let's take a look at your transcript." ""Meg." Hm." "That's not very impressive." "It's just three letters." "It's hardly a name at all." "I never wanted to call her Meg." "I wanted to call her Twiki." "But Lois said kids now wouldn't get the reference." "You know what I'm talking about?" "Bidibidibidi." "I'm not sure you're Brown material." "Don't you have any extracurricular activities?" "Well, I'm president of the Luke Perry fan club, Quahog chapter." "But I've wanted to go to Brown ever since I was a little girl." "Well, actually, I really wanted to go to Wellesley but Mom said I might as well buy hiking boots and call myself a lesbian right now." "Meg!" "Eat your salad." " We're not having dinner." " Then be quiet." "I have no future!" "I'm just gonna wait in my room until I'm dead." " I'll be in shortly." " We've gotta do something." "If Meg doesn't get into college, who knows what future she'll have?" " You ain't getting this meat." "This is my meat." " Shut up." "I found this meat." "(bell rings)" "(whooping and whistling)" "I'm never gonna get into college." "You just need more extracurricular activities." " You could get a part-time job." " I had one when I was in high school." " Oh!" "Argh!" " Argh!" "That'll be $27.50." "Come on." "There's gotta be a hundred clubs at your school." "Uh, well, I do have a friend on the school newspaper." "Attagirl." "And I got your first story right here." "Lois, I challenge you to a race around the world." "Go!" "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" "(lisping) We need a picture for the front page." "Hold on." "I gotta rinse my retainer." "(deep voice) I'm looking for something like the spread in last month's Vanity Fair." "(lisping) That was so sweet." "It was wicked, awesome." "Stop the presses!" "It's Meg!" "I'm just joshing." "It's all done on Xerox." "What can I do you?" "Look, Neil, I need an activity to get into Brown." "The paper is my last hope." " Can I be a reporter?" " I don't know, Meg." "You never seem to be that interested in journalism-or journalists, such as myself." "(sighs)" "You know, I never realised how smooth the skin between your acne is." "(gasps)" "OK, I'll give you a shot." "I've never been able to get an interview with the mayor." " You get it and I'll make you a reporter." " You got it." "(deep voice) Run, little rabbit, run." "But some day our two worlds will be one." "I hope my face clears up by then." " Excuse me, Mayor?" " How do you know my language?" "Listen to me." "My entire future is in your hands." " Are you Sarah Connor?" " No, I'm Meg Griffin." "I need to interview you." " You're with the press?" " Yes." "Well, you can't interview a dead man... can you?" " What about my interview?" " Mayor West asked me to give you this." "Uh-oh." "Of course, you realise this means war." "No." "No, that's what they'll be expecting." "Mayor West?" "Well, well, Mr Toilet." "I thought you were in the Hamptons." "No." "No, no, it's me, Meg Griffin." "I don't talk to the press under any circumstances." " What makes you think I'll talk now?" " This." "You just don't give up, do you?" "You seize life by the throat and shake it like a topless bartender mixing a martini." " You've got your interview." " (gasps)" " Thanks!" " Hey!" "Hey!" "Listen to this." "(echoes) Do I sound like I'm on old-time radio?" "Mm!" "Oh!" "No more treats." "You're gonna spoil your dinner." "Oh, come on!" "(grunts)" "Oh, damn my small stature." "If I were big, oh, just think where I would be." "Tired of not being able to find clothes that fit?" "I know I was." "That's why I started Stewie's Big and Tall Man Shop." "If you're portly or tall, you'll find a friendly atmosphere brimming with personalised and expert service." " Hey, Stewie, how's the weather up there?" " Very fair..." "like our prices." "Hey, dude." "You want some of these?" "I say, here's the solution to my troubles." "If I could build a device to harness the size of that leviathan, there's no limit to what I could..." "Oh, my God, there's an orgy in my mouth." ""Got milk?" That's a funny one too." "Oh, and, uh "I got ya, diagonally"." ""Pretty sneaky, sis." That one's also funny." "Mayor West, you've been talking for an hour and I don't have anything I can use." " Can't you just please..." " My God!" "Somebody's stealing my water." "It just went down the drain." "They're crafty, I tell you." "It happens when you least expect it." "Show yourself, damn you!" "I've been investigating him for months." "It's cost $150,000 of the taxpayers' money but I'll find the culprits if it costs me a million." "You spent public money investigating this?" "Thanks." "You know, I think I have my story." "Your story?" "Wait a minute!" "You can't print that!" "It'll compromise my entire investigation!" "Well, thank God she's just a figment of my imagination." "(snores)" "(beeps)" "Well, let's take the old boy out for a spin." "Eyes open!" "Voice test:" "I'm Chris." " I'm Chris." " Eviscerate the proletariat." "Eviscerate the proletariat!" "(sings "Puttin' on the Ritz")" "Puttin' on the Ritz!" " Not my bit, but still funny." "System off." " (beeps)" " (snores)" " Splendid." " I did it!" "I got a great story." " So, what did your editor say?" "He was gone for the day so I left it on his desk." "But here, I brought you a copy." "Oh, my God. "Corruption in City Hall." This is amazing." "Hey, let me see that." "This'll never get Meg on the paper." "This is old news." "There have been political scandals since Thomas Jefferson." "Oh, hold on." "Honey, let's get all the kids in this." "I know kids, and this story's gonna put 'em to sleep." "Meg needs something that'll pull those kids away from their Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robots and their Spirographs and their Moby Grape and their 90210." "Luke Perry." "That's it!" "Brian, I got my story." "Now, to get this story on the school editor's desk is gonna take a portion of my cunning." "No!" "No." "All my cunning." "Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh!" "Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh!" "Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh!" "Duh-duh-duh duh-luuh-luh-luuh-luh-luh!" "Duh!" "Duh-duh!" "Duh-duh!" "Duh-duh!" "Dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah!" "Duh-duh!" "Duh-duh!" "Duh-duh-duh duh-luuh luh-luuh luh-luuh-luh!" "Dah!" "Duh-duh duh-duh-duh-daah!" " Great story, Meg." " Oh, thanks!" "Way to go, Meg!" "(whooping and cheering)" "Congratulations, Meg." "This is the most sensational story we've ever had." "Argh!" " (woman) Luke!" "Time for dinner!" " In a minute, babe." "I'm just reading every high-school newspaper in America to see if I'm mentioned." "Oh, my God!" "Meg Griffin, you are so sued." "Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duuh!" "Duddle-duddle-duddle-duddle-duddle-duh!" " Luke Perry is suing us?" " Dad, how could you do this to me?" " I love Luke Perry." " Meg, you're wasting your time." " Don't you read the papers?" "He's gay." " You can't just print lies." " He has a wife and son." " So what?" "A lot of these famous types lead secret lives we don't know about." "Like Ricky Martin." "(girls) Ricky, we love you!" "We love you!" " One minute to curtain, Jewel." " (audience) Jewel!" "Jewel!" "I just wanted you to have something to put on your transcript." "Thanks to you I can put that I'm a big liar who makes up stories about people." "It worked for Walter Cronkite..." "You know that Vietnam thing?" "Never happened." "Don't mention it at the veterans' hospital." "Those guys are committed to the lie." "(sobs)" "Aw, don't cry, sweetheart." "I'll make it up to you." "Remember the pony you wanted when you were six?" "Well, I bought him and I've been saving him for a time like this." "Surprise!" "(gasps)" "Oh." "Oh, God." "That's right." "Ponies..." "Ponies like food, don't they?" "Oh, boy." "Poor Meg." "I know it sounds crazy but I can't help feeling like this is somehow my fault." "No, it's Luke Perry's fault." "If he were gay Meg would be all set." "Brian, that's it!" "If I could get a picture of Luke Perry doing something gaylike it'll make people believe Meg's story is true!" " Yeeh!" " How the hell are you gonna do that?" "Hey, I've gotten people to believe crazier things." ""And if you are pure of heart and deed you'll all go to a beautiful place called Heaven."" " I'm yanking you." "You just rot in the ground." " (all gasp)" "All right, now walk up to the counter." "(beeping)" "That's it." "Ring the bell." " Well, hi there." " Good day, shopkeep." "Good day, shopkeep." "I require a hand-operated buzz saw capable of cutting through a human sternum." " What?" " It's for a school project." "I'm some sort of student sent here for..." "Oh, blast!" "What the devil do they study?" "Uh..." "Latin class." "Uh, sorry, kid." "I can't sell power tools to minors." "Look here, you gourd-bellied codpiece." "Allow me to purchase the provisions I demand or I shall transform your blue collar into a red one and..." "Who the deuce are you?" "No, I don't have any spare change." "Where the hell would I keep it?" "In my diaper?" "Get outta here, you hobo!" "Oh, bloody hell." "Is this thing still on?" "All right, now, we gotta be very crafty so Luke Perry doesn't recognise us." "Argh!" "How is he gonna recognise us?" "He doesn't know who we are." "Oh." "Huh." "Oh, yeah." "Oh, yeah, you're right." "(laughs)" "Oh!" " Sir, you look familiar." " Yeah, I'm that guy you wish you were." "OK, as soon as I seduce him get ready to snap the picture." "You're really gonna try and seduce Luke Perry?" "Listen, Brian, I'd take a bullet for Meg so I'm sure I can take a..." "Here he is." " Thirsty?" " No." "Gee, the sun seems really strong, even for my already-bronzed skin." "Oh, my muscles are all..." "Look, they're all shiny with oil." "But how am I ever gonna spread it on my rippling back and thighs?" "Ah, this is gonna take drastic measures." "All right, get the camera ready." "Oh, Luke!" " (retches)" " Mission accomplished, Peter." " We have a picture of Luke Perry vomiting." " That's no good." "Gays don't vomit." "They're a very clean people." "They have been ever since they first came here from France." "(beeping)" " Hi, honey." "How was school?" " Just great." "I can't even say my name without people asking me if I made it up." " How could Dad do this to me?" " Aw, honey, he wasn't doing it to you." "He was doing it for you." "He knows how much you want to go to Brown." "There's no way I'm gonna get in now." "I'm a felon." "Now, that's not true." "Libel's not a felony." "It's a civil matter." "Don't worry." "Your father will straighten everything out." "Come on." "Let's go get our nails done." "Chris, take care of Stewie." " Five Seasons hotel." " Hey there." "You mind if I share a ride?" " Uh, I don't think so, pal." " Oh, my God, I know you!" "You're Luke Perry!" "You were great in Rain Man." "That scene where you wanted to get on the plane and that dumb guy was screaming." " Uh, that was Tom Cruise." " Not in this movie theatre it wasn't." "Every time I see that lame-o actor I put your head on his body." "Thanks." "It's nice to meet someone who appreciates my work." "Come to my house so I can take a picture of you in a gay pose." "Huh?" " Dinner?" " Sure." "Dark Side of the Moon synchs up with The Wizard of Oz." "Really?" "Shannen Doherty told me that but I thought she was just being a bitch." "Listen, I gotta get going." "Oh, God!" "I'm sorry." "You know what's good for getting wine out?" " Sex with another man." " Whoa!" "Look, if you're gay, that's cool." "But I am not." "And even if I was..." "Come on, I'm Luke Perry." "I can get a much better gay guy than you." "Oh, my God!" "Luke Perry!" "See, Meg?" "I told you your father would explain about the article." "Meg?" "Meg Griffin?" " Uh, Peter, I think it's time for plan B." " Way ahead of you, Brian." "Don't worry, I packed my own backup chute." "Aw, crap." "I should've figured you were up to something." "This is all my fault." "I was just trying to help my daughter get onto the school newspaper." "You know what it's like to be a teenager." " You've been playing one for 30 years." " Won't you drop the lawsuit, please, Dylan?" "Ah, what the hell." "But, hey, you gotta print the real story." "And this time I wanna talk to the real reporter." " Let's go, Meg." " See, Meg?" "Things work out if you do whatever you want without worrying about the consequences." "Thanks, Daddy." "Come on, Luke." "I got my computer in my room." "Meg, keep your door open." "I wanted to give you a copy of my daughter's article." " Listen, thanks for the..." " Uh, Peter, I'm kind of busy." "Oh!" "Uh, yeah." "That's OK." "Well, uh, thank..." "So, where were we?" "If I do this, do you promise to stop stealing my water?" "Uh, yeah." "Whatever."

"I think Ben and I just broke up." "(Ben) Nothing happened." "Being up there made me realize that I didn't want to be up there." "It made me realize I wanted to be here with you." "Are you sure?" "Mr. Fitzgerald, I so appreciate the fact that you're trying to support the Pacific Northwest's cultural community." "I mean, I've never been there, but I think that innovation, diversity, and access to the arts is a great thing." "Mr. Crane, give me a situation in which you failed and how you handled that." "What?" "Give me a situation in which you failed and how you handled that." "He's not going to ask those questions." "What are you..." "Do you want my help or not?" "I went to Harvard Business School." "Summer program." "I know what I'm talking about." "What are those things on your face?" "Pore suckers." "I have this huge event coming up." "(knock on door)" "Hi." "Hi." "Aughhh!" "Oh, my God." "Is Ben here?" "Uh, no." "No, he's not." "Oh." "Do you want to come in?" "OK." "Has he gotten any of my messages?" "Yeah, I've told him you called." "But... you know Ben." "No, I don't." "Maybe that's part of the problem." "What do you mean?" "Well, I assumed he was..." "I don't know." "Nothing."

"What are you doing?" "I'm studying." "You're what?" "I'm studying." "Really?" "I thought I could do pretty well on finals this year, so I thought I'd just approach the whole thing a little differently." "That's great." "Yeah." "(knock on door)" "Uh, hey." "The... the episode, uh, 18, Georgia files." "Did you erase them?" "Uh, no." "They're on your computer." "You sure you didn't erase them?" "No, I didn't erase them." "They're, um..." "I'll be out in just a second." "Thanks, and hurry." "Yeah." "She said she'd be there in a second." "That guy's driving me nuts." "Noel?" "Yes, Noel." "(Noel) Sorry." "I'm a little anxious." "The foundation called back." "I have my second interview today." "Oh, my God, Noel!" "That is great!" "Yeah." "Yeah." "I've been terrified for days." "You know, I mean, this is..." "this is real." "No matter what I've done, there's always been that safety net that this was just college." "You know?" "But, yeah, this is real." "This is like that first job." "You're going to be great." "Yeah."

"Noel, what's your problem?" "You're my problem." "You don't think." "I don't know what's going on with you guys, but it's annoying." "Look." "No bagel." "(radio blaring)" "Learning requires an open mind!" "OK, so now I'm supposed to tell you what I think that means?" "You know what?" "Can you just hold on a second?"

"(Molly) Hello!" "We're in here, trying not to fail our MCATs." "And they're tomorrow." "Oh." "OK, well, I'll be really quiet." "I'll be as quiet as a mouse." "You won't even know I'm here." "(crashing sound)" "Sorry." "Is your place any quieter than this?" "Actually, I've got a hotel room for tonight." "Everybody does that before the MCATs." "They do?" "Yeah." "It's a quiet place to study and you can get a good night's sleep." "Why didn't I think of that?" "It's no problem." "You can stay with me if you want." "It's already booked." "Uh, um, no." "I'll be fine." "(music blaring)" "(phone ringing)" "OK, I'll pay half!" "What the hell happened to your face?" "Don't worry about it." "I got a surprise for you." "Oh." "Ready?" "Mm-hmm." "I'm gonna have a bar mitzvah!" "What?" "It's the Jewish rite of passage." "I know what a bar mitzvah is." "But didn't you have one when you were a kid?" "No." "That's the thing." "My parents never really believed in religion when I was growing up, so I didn't have one, but I can have one now, so I'm gonna do it." "What do you think?" "That's my surprise?" "Yeah." "Isn't it great?" "I have not been shooting the Shabbat with Rabbi Levin for two months." "I've been working at this." "My Torah portion, the whole thing." "So we'll have a ceremony and then we'll have a little party afterwards." "And then, you know, under Jewish custom, I'll officially be a man." "Finally." "That's funny." "I'm talking about my Jewish heritage and you're making jokes, which is fine, but just don't do that tonight." "Tonight?" "Rabbi Levin's coming for dinner." "I'm thinking about ordering in Chinese..." "Why don't you let me cook dinner?" "You'd do that for me?" "Yeah." "I know how much this means to you." "Ohh!" "You are the greatest." "And, Sean?" "Yeah." "For future reference, just, um, when you say you have a surprise for me, have a surprise for me." "Yeah." "That's OK." "The Wing Luke Asian Museum?"

"You guys have been acting so weird around each other." "No, it's nothing." "You're lying, and I know you're lying." "I'm not." "I just don't want to talk about Ben." "Why are you mad at him?" "Can we just drop this?" "Is it something that I should know?" "I have to go." "I have an interview to get to, and you have a final." "I do, but I know you're trying to change the subject." "It's working, isn't it?" "Good luck." "You're gonna do great." "You too." "Good luck." "All right." "(phone ringing)" "(Sean's voice) You have reached Blumberg Productions." "For Sean, press one."

"382..." "Hello?" "Hey." "Yeah." "What happened?" "Are you serious?" "Hey." "I wouldn't have called, but Avery insisted." "What happened?" "You said that they pumped her stomach?" "I just think if you had returned her phone calls, she probably wouldn't be here." "OK, what did she do?" "Talk to her." "Avery." "Hey." "Hey." "Whoo-hoo!" "Life is the greatest!" "Can you believe this?" "Today was a good day." "Oh, today was a great day." "It means that anything is possible, that the world is just one big, giant opportunity!" "Noel, I'm so happy for you." "I'm happy for you." "Mine was just a final!" "There's no such thing as "just a final," you know?" "It's still an obstacle." "I mean, whether it's a final or an interview, it's still something that we have to surmount." "Is "surmount" a word?" "Yeah, I think it is." "We gotta do something to celebrate." "Just something crazy." "What do you want to do?" "I don't know!" "We just gotta do something to cement this moment, so we won't forget that it ever happened!" "We should T.P. the library." "That would make Richard crazy!" "No, I'm kidding." "I know, but you're a genius." "We can't T.P. the library!" "Why not?" "Because that's stupid!" "And because I got caught breaking into the pool and I got in big trouble." "If I get caught..." "No, no, no." "I've been here for four years, for 48 months of my life." "If I don't do something, just one thing that's stupid and idiotic before I leave, then..." "We gotta do it." "OK?" "The time is now." "While we still can." "I can't believe this!" "Come on!" "I got the job." "I'm-I'm moving to Seattle." "You're moving to Seattle." "Yeah." "I guess I am." "Don't you think when people do pranks, they think it's more funny than stupid?" "But I just think this is stupid." "Well, this part is stupid." "Sitting here with a bunch of toilet paper waiting for the library to close, that's stupid." "But the actual throwing of the paper, that's going to be fun." "OK?" "I promise you." "Get into the spirit." "It's gonna be fun." "I'm in the spirit." "I'm here." "I know." "I know you already told me, but what is this job in Seattle, exactly?" "Oh." "Easy." "Um..." "Quentin Fitzgerald, that computer billionaire in Seattle?" "Uh, no." "You don't know who he is?" "No." "He's starting this foundation for the arts." "They're looking for graphic designers to head up different sections of the Web site, and I'm gonna be in charge of managing the whole thing." "So, like, I'm going to have people working for me." "Like artists from all around the world, you know?" "It's like going to grad school and getting paid for it." "Noel, I'm gonna miss you." "What?" "You could work for me." "I have to hire a coordinator to work with all these artists." "It would be a dream job." "Would you consider something like that?" "Oh, my God!" "(clatter)" "Shh." "It was all a mistake." "They did some blood tests and a mental status exam and they wanted to keep me overnight, but I told them I'm fine." "They said I could go home." "Avery?" "Tell me what happened." "After the shooting, I was prescribed these pills because I was having nightmares and the doctor said that it would help with the anxiety." "But, you know, I was doing a lot better." "And then, last night," "I-I just..." "I didn't feel like myself." "I just felt lost and confused." "So I took two." "But they didn't do anything." "So I..." "I took two more." "I don't know how many I took." "Were you..." "Were you trying to kill yourself?" "No." "♪ Look around and you'll find" "♪ That I've wasted my time" "♪ I don't know" "♪ If I've found the right toy" "♪ Turn, turn around" "♪ And you'll see" "♪ What has happened to me" "♪ I don't know where I'm goin'" "♪ Half the time" "♪ You don't want me around" "♪ We gotta meet back down on the ground" "♪ You don't want me around" "♪ We gotta meet back down on the ground" "♪ Look, look around and you ask" "♪ Can she make it that fast" "♪ I don't know" "♪ If I found the right road" "♪ Come, come around, stop right there" "♪ You might breathe free the air" "♪ I don't know what I'm doing" "♪ Half the time" "(laughing, shouting)" "Ooh." "The ham's almost ready." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "We can't have ham." "Sean." "I'm kidding." "It's chicken." "Relax." "It is chicken." "(knock on door) I'll get it." "You keep tossing." "All right." "You must be Megan." "It is so great to meet you." "I'm Marissa Levin." "The rabbi." "You're the rabbi." "Wow." "Can I...?" "Oh, yes, please." "Thank you." "This is, um, Sean..." "Your... your Marissa is here." "Hey!" "I'm so glad you could make it." "Good to see you." "It's good to see you." "So glad you could make it." "Oh, thank you!" "It smells great." "Yeah, that's Megan." "Yeah." "She's talking about the food." "Can I talk to you in the kitchen?" "Yeah." "Why don't you find a seat, I'll get something to drink." "OK." "OK." "Isn't she great?" "Oh, she's fantastic." "Don't you think you could've told me?" "Told you what?" "That Rabbi Levin looks like a Hooters girl!" "Come on." "Now I know why you were so anxious to study!" "She's a Talmudic scholar." "Who looks like she could give a lap dance!" "Which is convenient." "OK." "Um, would you just give her a chance?" "We'll have dinner and you'll see that she's amazing." "She's here to help me with my bar mitzvah, Megan." "She's a rabbi." "Does she have proof?" "Like an I.D. or something?" "Stop it." "OK, um, how did I do?" "So far we both rocked it." "Really?" "Yeah." "I got a 31 on the Bio, and you got a 32." "Yes!" "Oh, my God." "Do you realize that in less than 24 hours this is all gonna be over?" "How great is that?" "You know where we should go after this?" "Where?" "Coney Island." "I'm a fiend for roller coasters!" "Um..." "This is embarrassing." "I-I think I should go." "DeForrest, this is your room." "Yeah." "I know, but, uh, it's not a problem." "Just keep the room and... and, uh, do good on your test tomorrow." "Break a femur." "(Sean) Literally, this whole place was filled with Christmas trees." "Really?" "Yeah." "I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I always wanted a Christmas tree growing up." "Are you kidding me?" "So did I!" "Really?" "Yeah, really!" "We had one." "A Christmas tree." "Not being Jewish." "Oh, I was so jealous of people like you." "It looked like so much fun..." "the tree, the presents, the fake snow." "Oh, yeah." "It was great." "Yeah." "You know one thing we did have though?" "Brisket." "True, true." "My mother's brisket is amazing." "Nobody made better brisket than my Gaboom." "It's my grandma." "Uh..." "It was like a whole day process, too." "She'd go to the kosher butcher and pick out the right meat and everything." "And she'd sing." "She was so happy to be cooking." "She'd sing like..." "♪ Day, dayenu" "♪ Day, dayenu Day, dayenu" "Dayenu, dayenu ♪" "That's so funny." "I know." "Isn't it just beef?" "What?" "Brisket." "Y-yeah." "It-It's beef." "You know what?" "I actually have to admit it." "I'm a little nervous about the bar mitzvah." "A little bit." "I think it's so great that you're doing this." "I am so proud of you." "(Sean) It could be fun." "It's gonna..." "Where you going?" "Home!" "Why?" "Oh, I really should be studying for finals." "And anyway, I don't want to break up any more of your intimate conversation." "So long!" "(door slams)" "Thanks for stopping here with me." "I really just needed something to calm my nerves." "Hi." "Hi." "Thank you." "It's OK." "Thanks." "Since I've been back this last month, everything seems so screwed up." "All the things that I thought were important and valuable, all of sudden, they're not." "Yeah." "And... my friends." "I don't want to say that they're shallow because that sounds mean, but..." "Well, what about Samantha?" "She seems to care about you." "Yeah, I guess." "Maybe you should go talk to somebody, professionally." "What you went through is pretty traumatic." "That might help." "No, I did that already." "It didn't help." "OK." "I'm just lonely." "Were you serious about what you said before?" "What?" "About that job." "Yeah, I was serious!" "Ben and I haven't really talked about what we're gonna do this summer." "Just remember you'd have the best boss of all time." "So it's something I can really think about?" "Definitely think about it." "Yeah, I mean..." "(door opens)" "Hey." "Hey." "Where've you been?" "I was T.P.ing the library." "Noel got this really great job offer at this start-up webzine in Seattle, so we were celebrating." "So you T.P.'d the library?" "Yeah." "Wow." "Actually, he thinks there might be a job for me there this summer." "Really?" "We haven't even talked about what we're gonna do over the summer yet." "It's not like I took the job." "I just, you know." "What?" "What's the matter?" "Um..." "The thing is, um... on the way home from the library," "I saw you with Avery." "I mean, I'm sure there's a rational explanation for it." "You should know, though, that it felt awful seeing you with her." "Well, I'm sure it did." "I'm sorry, but there is an explanation." "It just seems like there's always an explanation." "I was on my way out and her roommate called and told me Avery was in the hospital." "She almost O.D.'d on these pills." "Man." "But she's OK?" "I mean, she's fine now but we didn't know for a while if she was going to be OK." "And then her roommate had to leave, so I had to take Avery home." "I'm sorry." "I know how this must make you feel." "I really am sorry." "The thing is, I feel bad for her." "It's just..." "It's weird that she keeps showing up all the time." "It's awkward." "I know, and I think that's over." "I think she's done with that." "OK?" "OK." "If you want to sleep, I can go work in the living room." "No, I like having you here." "OK." "Hey." "Are we, um..." "I mean, was there a real problem last night?" "'Cause I haven't heard from you." "Nope." "No problem." "I just had work to do." "Look." "I know you may not totally understand the whole bar mitzvah thing..." "No, no." "I understand, Sean." "I understand completely." "And actually, I thought about it a lot last night, and, uh, Rabbi Levin, she really opened my eyes." "She did?" "Mm-hmm." "Oh, that's great." "I knew you'd come around." "So, listen to this." "I'm thinking about having a theme for the party, for the bar mitzvah." "I know that sounds lame, but if I was 13 there'd be no question." "I think you should be with Rabbi Levin." "Be with?" "What?" "Like in the biblical sense?" "Mm-hmm." "You're kidding." "Megan, she's my rabbi." "So?" "I saw the way you were together last night, and it hit me." "You and I are just kidding ourselves." "We don't belong together." "I'm not Jewish, you're not Wiccan." "It's never gonna work." "OK, we've been through this before." "Yes, but the fact is, you and that rabbi, man, you're like meant for each other." "You have the same beliefs, the same interests." "You sing the same songs that have one-word lyrics." "Maybe she's not the girl you should be with specifically, but that's the kind of girl you should be with." "Because I can't do this anymore." "Pranksters!" "I have ways of exposing you, do you hear me?" "You're not going to get away with this!" "Hey!" "Where were you last night?" "Avery almost O.D.'d?" "Yeah." "Now I know that Ben had a reason to be with her." "Oh." "And that reason would be?" "She was hospitalized!" "Right." "What?" "You're doing that thing again." "What thing?" "Like you're going to tell me something, and then you don't." "No!" "I'm not doing..." "No." "I'm thinking about the library." "I feel guilty about what we did, and Richard's gonna freak." "Richard's not gonna..." "He can't do anything." "Besides, you already have a job." "Did you tell Ben about Seattle?" "Yes." "I mean, I mentioned it." "We didn't really talk about it." "We kind of got distracted with the whole Avery thing." "Right." "There's that look again." "Ben was just helping her." "I'm sure the whole Ben and Avery thing was completely innocent." "End of story." "Hey." "Hey!" "So, um, how did you do?" "Oh, you know, there's always Johns Hopkins University." "No MCAT test score required for admission." "Come on, you know you did fine." "Yeah, maybe." "I could always be a garbage man." "I heard that wasn't so bad." "But, no, listen." "Seriously, I wanted to, uh, say I'm sorry..." "Don't be." "Last night was just..." "You saved my life on this." "You know that, right?" "That means you gotta hire me when you open your practice." "I make a mean receptionist." "Dr. Elena Tyler's office." "Could you hold?" "Stop it!" "Yeah." "(clears throat)" "Well, uh, I'll see you." "OK." "Hey." "What is this?" "Not right now, I'm going to see my spiritual advisor." "Yeah, but do you know what this is?" "Uh, yeah." "Noel made these while you were gallivanting around Southampton." "He was trying to cheer Felicity up." "I was not gallivanting." "It's got, like, dinner and movies and rollerblading." "What is that?" "It's a whole arts-and-crafts thing, he was..." "(knock on door)" "The back says "Breakup Kit" on it." "What's that about?" "Hey." "Avery." "How you doing?" "I'm sorry to bother you." "I wanted to give you these flowers and say thank you." "Well, you don't have to thank me." "I know." "I hate to run, but I gotta see a rabbi about a thing." "Can I ask you a favor?" "Yeah." "Can I crash here for a little while and study?" "I have so much work to do, and I don't feel like being alone." "Just for a little while." "(breathes heavily) Uh, yeah, I guess." "Yeah." "Look, I just gotta tell you that this... this is making Felicity really uncomfortable." "Hey." "Huh." "I'll give you guys some privacy." "I'll be right back." "Hey." "What the hell did that mean?" "You guys might want to be alone to fool around some more." "What are you talking about?" "We've never fooled around." "You think I like being responsible for her?" "You're so transparent." "I'm "transparent"!" "What does that mean?" "Another damsel in distress, saved by Ben." "Do you only save beautiful women?" "You'd love if Avery got between me and Felicity!" "I think she already has." "The only person getting between me and Felicity is you." "No, I'm offering her an amazing opportunity." "Like that's why you're inviting her!" "You know this would be great for her." "She might not go..." "Because she wants to spend the summer with her boyfriend?" "Yeah, with a guy who lies to her." "You're a jealous little dick!" "You think I'm jealous of you?" "Yeah, yeah, I do!" "I'm not jealous of a guy who sleeps with Avery, then tells Felicity that nothing happened!" "What is he talking about?" "I have no idea!" "Nothing happened." "You said that something happened." "All right." "She kissed me." "One kiss." "Good luck." "See ya." "You said nothing happened." "Yeah." "Nothing did happen." "You kissed her in Southampton!" "No, I didn't kiss her." "She kissed me." "It meant nothing." "So why didn't you tell me?" "Because it was a stupid kiss!" "I told you." "I went up there confused." "I needed to figure things out, which I did." "I want to be with you." "I don't want to be with her." "What was she doing here?" "She just showed up." "What was I supposed to do?" "Say no?" "There has to be a reason you can't say no to her." "Is there a reason Noel's giving you a breakup kit?" "What?" "These stupid coupons..." "He's in love with you." "We're talking about Avery." "I don't want her around you!" "Well, I don't want you spending the summer with Noel." "What?" "What do you mean, "what"?" "Yeah, I don't!" "Ben, those are two completely different situations!" "I would be going there for a job!" "Avery's this girl who clearly has deep feelings for you..." "Like Noel has for you!" "No, it's not the same thing!" "Noel has feelings!" "He's one of my closest friends!" "That doesn't mean he's not trying to break us up!" "I don't know what else to say." "Well, what are you gonna do?" "I don't know." "(door opens, slams)" "Oh, no." "Did it go that badly?" "Everything is fine." "So why are you vigorously scrubbing out our refrigerator?" "Because I'm a bigot." "What?" "Before I knew what DeForrest looked like, I liked him." "I mean, we have the best time together." "He's funny, and smart, and sweet." "The only reason we're not dating is the way he looks." "I'm sure that DeForrest is like, a totally cool person, but you can't help it if there isn't any chemistry between you." "Where are you going?" "To a learning situation which requires an open mind." "Is that..." "Mother of God." "Noel Crane!" "How could you stab me in the back like that?" "Ugh." "Keep eating." "I'm getting my stuff." "Going back to my apartment." "No." "No you're not." "Excuse me?" "Excuse me, OK?" "I went and I saw the rabbi today." "Oh." "Let me guess." "You're engaged." "Not funny." "She actually has some pretty good thoughts." "Did you say thoughts, or thongs?" "Have a little respect!" "She's a woman of God." "She thinks that it might be good for us to go to therapy." "Oh, my God." "Are you kidding?" "Couples therapy is crap." "You're a psychology major." "You're supposed to believe in that crap!" "I don't." "We don't need it." "We don't?" "No!" "What couples break up and get back together, every single week?" "What Goths do you know that date practicing Jews?" "We have plenty of issues to discuss!" "Yes, that is my point." "We're too different." "No!" "The point is we're great together." "This is the best relationship that I have ever had!" "We'll go to couples counseling." "Fine!" "Good!" "Good!" "(knock on door)" "Hi." "Hey." "What's up?" "Um..." "I was just thinking about, you know, the other night." "You know, and how great you were." "And how smart and funny you are, and..." "Are you dumping me?" "Because I didn't know we were dating." "You didn't have to do that." "I wanted to." "You wanted to, or you thought you should?" "That was not a pity kiss." "I didn't use the word "pity."" "I was thinking it, I just didn't use it." "I don't want that kind of favor." "I don't need to be part of anyone's experiment to see what it's like to be romantic with a guy they would be attracted to if he wasn't so huge." "I think you just called me shallow." "I didn't use that word, either." "But it's not your fault." "You know?" "You were just being kind." "But... no, thanks." "I'll see you." "Hey." "There you go." "Thanks." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey, did you get my message?" "Yeah, that's why I'm here." "Can we sit down for a second?" "Sure." "Listen, I'm sorry for causing a scene at the apartment." "I hope that you and Felicity worked that out." "Yeah." "I gotta talk to you." "The flowers were a lot, but I really wanted to say thank you." "It's getting kind of embarrassing." "How many other times are you going to have to save my life?" "None." "We went through an intense experience." "I understand that." "But you have to understand that it was just a moment." "Oh, Ben, please don't say that." "You're the only person that understands what I went through." "That's not true." "I talked to your roommates;" "I called them." "They want to help you." "Janine and Samantha." "They want to help you;" "you just have to let them." "And more importantly, I really think you gotta go back and you gotta talk to a therapist." "I do." "I just..." "I can't be there for you anymore." "I am..." "I am in love with Felicity." "So I can't call you if I need to?" "No." "I'm sorry." "Look, I gotta get back to work." "I really am sorry." "Good-bye." "Good-bye." "(whispering) Hey." "Ben thinks that you're trying to break us up." "Noel." "I shouldn't say anything." "What does that mean?" "Nothing." "I should just keep my mouth shut." "No, because I'm asking you." "That's not what you're doing with the whole Seattle thing?" "If I start talking about this now..." "Come on, I asked you." "What's going on?" "No." "I am not trying to break you up." "Right." "That's what I thought." "I told him that." "Yeah." "But... uh..." "I was thinking, you know." "And I don't know if... if you realize," "I mean, how much we're actually going to miss each other when you know, when we live in different cities." "I know." "No, I mean, I don't think you've thought it through like I have, because I'm the one doing the actual moving." "I mean, we depend on each other." "What we have, what we've been through, like T.P.ing this library." "(giggling)" "I know." "Yeah." "I think we take that for granted." "I'm going to miss you so much." "Yeah." "What?" "Just tell me one thing." "OK." "One thing." "Tell me that you don't still have feelings for me, too."

"He was not there when the incident happened" "General, according to our investigation there are six clans involved in the revolt over 300 warriors in all" "Warriors?"
