1
00:02:00,037 --> 00:02:02,497
I never could start
one those fires.
2
00:02:02,497 --> 00:02:04,833
Dad, are you gonna have
chicken or meat?
3
00:02:04,833 --> 00:02:06,084
Chicken's fine.
4
00:02:06,668 --> 00:02:09,379
This is a brilliant article.
Norman!
5
00:02:09,713 --> 00:02:12,341
- You read Ken's article on China?
- No, I haven't.
6
00:02:12,341 --> 00:02:13,258
Terrific article.
7
00:02:13,258 --> 00:02:14,593
And where is Ken?
8
00:02:14,718 --> 00:02:17,638
He's in the house
watching the Yankee game.
9
00:02:17,638 --> 00:02:20,974
Your husband comes for a day
in the country.
10
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:23,393
And heads straight
forthe TV set.
11
00:02:23,393 --> 00:02:24,811
Ken, come on honey!
12
00:02:25,854 --> 00:02:27,940
How many chicken?
How many hamburgers?
13
00:02:27,940 --> 00:02:30,067
Two more outs. Three minutes.
14
00:02:30,359 --> 00:02:32,778
Everybody's dying for a libation.
15
00:02:32,861 --> 00:02:35,572
Make some of your famous
Stoli martinis.
16
00:02:35,572 --> 00:02:38,075
Janet, when are you going
to have a child?
17
00:02:38,075 --> 00:02:41,370
You've let your sister have a
big head start.
18
00:02:41,453 --> 00:02:45,457
Let Leslie practice viola 6 hours
a day. It's not so easy.
19
00:02:45,457 --> 00:02:46,750
Leave her alone.
20
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:59,513
I came in to make drinks
for everybody.
21
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:05,394
- What are you doing? Want a drink?
- Sure.
22
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:08,730
I was.
23
00:03:14,570 --> 00:03:15,821
This is nuts!
24
00:03:17,281 --> 00:03:19,241
We gotta get out of here.
25
00:03:32,629 --> 00:03:34,673
What? No, we'll get caught.
26
00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:36,925
I see them by the lake.
27
00:03:53,567 --> 00:03:55,694
They're deep in conversation.
28
00:03:56,278 --> 00:03:57,779
Wait! There's Janet!
29
00:04:02,951 --> 00:04:04,203
No. It's okay.
30
00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:06,788
You can't scare me like that.
31
00:04:06,788 --> 00:04:10,459
I grind my teeth. Just don't
scare me like that.
32
00:04:10,459 --> 00:04:11,793
Just a false alarm.
33
00:04:11,793 --> 00:04:14,254
Listen, try not to actually chew.
34
00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:17,549
Wouldn't it be great
to be off alone.
35
00:04:17,841 --> 00:04:19,718
Just relaxed. You and me.
36
00:04:20,052 --> 00:04:21,428
It'd be so great.
37
00:04:21,929 --> 00:04:24,223
Let's hang in. You never know.
38
00:04:24,848 --> 00:04:26,266
Come on, open wide.
39
00:04:27,142 --> 00:04:30,729
Turn the Yankee game off and
come out here now!
40
00:04:30,812 --> 00:04:33,982
I will. Just one minute.
It's almost over.
41
00:04:45,077 --> 00:04:46,328
I'm done.
42
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:49,665
- Come any time you want.
- Can I?
43
00:04:50,374 --> 00:04:51,625
I'm done!
44
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:53,001
I'm ready!
45
00:04:54,461 --> 00:04:56,004
Leslie, is that you?
46
00:04:57,923 --> 00:05:00,425
Can you lead me
down to the lake?
47
00:05:00,425 --> 00:05:02,135
Just a minute, Grandma.
48
00:05:03,136 --> 00:05:04,972
I'm making some martinis.
49
00:05:05,722 --> 00:05:08,225
- Sure, dear.
- I want to finish.
50
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:09,768
Ken? Is that you?
51
00:05:11,353 --> 00:05:12,604
Finish what?
52
00:05:13,647 --> 00:05:14,898
Hello!
53
00:05:15,524 --> 00:05:17,025
- Come, Ken.
- Come?
54
00:05:18,026 --> 00:05:20,028
Come, lead me to the lake.
55
00:05:20,112 --> 00:05:22,656
Ever since I lost my second eye...
56
00:05:22,906 --> 00:05:24,157
I feel so frail.
57
00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:31,456
You don't have to moan.
It's not that terrible.
58
00:05:31,915 --> 00:05:33,750
Ken is hurrying, Grandma.
59
00:05:33,876 --> 00:05:37,504
Would you do the olives?
Could you do them quickly?
60
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:39,089
You can use onions, too.
61
00:05:39,089 --> 00:05:41,550
I prefer onions,
don't you, Ken?
62
00:05:42,426 --> 00:05:43,677
Yes! Yes! Yes!
63
00:05:45,429 --> 00:05:47,973
Boy, you must really
love onions!
64
00:05:59,234 --> 00:06:01,528
- Lucy?
- You schmuck! You bastard!
65
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:03,864
I'd like to cut your head off.
66
00:06:03,906 --> 00:06:05,407
You're upset, right?
67
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:07,659
You knew what'd happen!
68
00:06:08,619 --> 00:06:10,621
What are you talking about?
69
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:12,664
Don't answer me, prick!
70
00:06:12,664 --> 00:06:15,626
You knew! You just didn't
give a shit!
71
00:06:16,001 --> 00:06:17,461
Take your coat off.
72
00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:20,506
How could you write that book?
73
00:06:20,506 --> 00:06:21,924
Are you so selfish...
74
00:06:21,924 --> 00:06:24,676
you don't give a shit
who you destroy?
75
00:06:24,676 --> 00:06:28,639
- I can tell you're angry.
- You told our whole story!
76
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:30,933
You gave me away to my sister!
77
00:06:31,433 --> 00:06:33,602
Marvin's left me. He's gone.
78
00:06:34,353 --> 00:06:36,396
It was loosely based on us.
79
00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:39,274
Don't bullshit me, motherfucker!
80
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:41,860
Do you think you're talking...
81
00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:44,821
to one ofthose retarded
talk show hosts?
82
00:06:45,322 --> 00:06:49,368
I lived through it with you.
I know how loosely based it is.
83
00:06:49,368 --> 00:06:51,453
What, are you telling me your
blind grandmother...
84
00:06:51,453 --> 00:06:52,788
caught us fucking?
85
00:06:54,164 --> 00:06:55,374
Never!
86
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:58,877
Of course, you made a few
stupid exaggerations.
87
00:06:59,294 --> 00:07:02,881
or, as the critics say:
"inspired comic flights".
88
00:07:02,923 --> 00:07:06,969
But Jane recognized it.
You'd have to be sub-mental not to.
89
00:07:06,969 --> 00:07:08,679
And Marvin was crushed!
90
00:07:09,263 --> 00:07:11,849
Jane has suspected us for so long.
91
00:07:11,890 --> 00:07:13,767
I know! And I denied it!
92
00:07:14,726 --> 00:07:16,270
And now, you've gone...
93
00:07:16,270 --> 00:07:18,438
and confirmed it all for her!
94
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:22,276
Big fucking deal!
You made Leslie shorter!
95
00:07:22,651 --> 00:07:23,902
Big fucking deal!
96
00:07:24,403 --> 00:07:25,863
But it's all here!
97
00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:29,366
The schmuck country doctor,
the violinist...
98
00:07:29,491 --> 00:07:33,287
her sister in Connecticut
cheating with her husband.
99
00:07:33,370 --> 00:07:35,831
The picture window, for Chrissake!
100
00:07:36,498 --> 00:07:38,584
Cruel observations about Marvin...
101
00:07:38,584 --> 00:07:41,003
and his barbecue and chef's hat.
102
00:07:41,295 --> 00:07:44,965
And of course, Jane,
or as you so pathetically...
103
00:07:45,174 --> 00:07:46,425
disguise her...
104
00:07:47,134 --> 00:07:48,385
Janet.
105
00:07:49,219 --> 00:07:50,470
Here it is:
106
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:54,558
"It was not just that Leslie
was numbed...
107
00:07:54,558 --> 00:07:57,102
with the spate of leaden
perceptions...
108
00:07:57,144 --> 00:07:59,521
that passed for wit from Marvin.
109
00:07:59,646 --> 00:08:02,566
Nor was the image
she shared with Ken...
110
00:08:02,566 --> 00:08:05,569
of Marvin's flaccid
microscopic member...
111
00:08:06,195 --> 00:08:09,323
jiggling up and down
as he tiptoed naked...
112
00:08:09,323 --> 00:08:11,950
across the icy floor
oftheir home...
113
00:08:11,950 --> 00:08:13,952
to close the storm windows.
114
00:08:14,119 --> 00:08:17,039
It was that she
had never loved him...
115
00:08:18,081 --> 00:08:21,877
but she wanted children to retaliate
against her sister...
116
00:08:21,877 --> 00:08:25,923
who was not maternal, and whose
every inch, Leslie felt...
117
00:08:25,923 --> 00:08:28,634
was occupied by gluttonous
self-love.
118
00:08:28,967 --> 00:08:33,013
Ken fondled Leslie's large breasts,
mounting her from the rear. "
119
00:08:33,013 --> 00:08:34,223
Big fucking deal!
120
00:08:34,264 --> 00:08:36,558
- You gave her large breasts!
- Leslie...
121
00:08:36,558 --> 00:08:37,809
Lucy!
122
00:08:38,852 --> 00:08:40,562
I'm Lucy, motherfucker!
123
00:08:42,606 --> 00:08:43,857
Not Leslie!
124
00:08:46,985 --> 00:08:49,404
Except of course,
I am Leslie...
125
00:08:49,613 --> 00:08:53,659
because you didn't disguise it!
You didn't give a fuck!
126
00:08:53,659 --> 00:08:56,286
You didn't care enough
to disguise it!
127
00:08:56,286 --> 00:08:57,412
Please!
128
00:08:57,412 --> 00:09:01,166
You pulled out two years ago.
You broke my fucking heart.
129
00:09:01,166 --> 00:09:03,168
You left yourwife and me...
130
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:05,546
for some little cooze!
131
00:09:06,046 --> 00:09:07,297
Me and Janet!
132
00:09:08,131 --> 00:09:11,260
Jane. Janet is the character
in the book.
133
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:12,761
Now...
134
00:09:12,970 --> 00:09:14,263
two years later...
135
00:09:14,513 --> 00:09:16,390
your latest magnum opus...
136
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,726
emerges from this sewer of
an apartment...
137
00:09:20,352 --> 00:09:23,897
where you take our suffering
and turn it into gold...
138
00:09:23,897 --> 00:09:25,148
literary gold!
139
00:09:25,649 --> 00:09:28,485
Everyone's misery,
you even cause misery...
140
00:09:28,485 --> 00:09:30,153
and use your alchemy...
141
00:09:30,153 --> 00:09:33,699
to turn it into gold, like
some fucking black magician!
142
00:09:33,699 --> 00:09:36,577
I'm the one who
wound up in Bellevue.
143
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:38,787
You deserve it and worse.
144
00:09:38,912 --> 00:09:41,540
You ruined my life!
I'll blow my brains out!
145
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:42,875
What's wrong with you?
146
00:09:42,875 --> 00:09:44,293
In front of you...
147
00:09:45,669 --> 00:09:48,922
because you caused it.
My brains on your carpet!
148
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:50,174
You're unstable!
149
00:09:50,174 --> 00:09:51,425
Will you relax?
150
00:09:52,259 --> 00:09:55,804
That's why I turn you on.
Jane's crazy sister.
151
00:09:55,804 --> 00:09:58,348
You're not going to kill yourself.
152
00:09:58,724 --> 00:10:01,435
No. you're not,
because it's not in you.
153
00:10:01,435 --> 00:10:04,146
You're never were
the dramatic type.
154
00:10:04,146 --> 00:10:08,275
Jane is the dramatic sister.
Jane is the solo violinist.
155
00:10:10,068 --> 00:10:11,987
Relax, for Christ's sake.
156
00:10:14,156 --> 00:10:15,407
You're right.
157
00:10:17,492 --> 00:10:20,454
I don't have the nerve
to kill myself.
158
00:10:22,206 --> 00:10:24,625
I knew it as I came over here...
159
00:10:26,376 --> 00:10:27,586
I said no.
160
00:10:28,337 --> 00:10:29,588
Not me.
161
00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:35,219
Better to kill him.
162
00:10:37,054 --> 00:10:38,347
Pardon me?
163
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:40,432
Kill the black magician.
164
00:10:40,933 --> 00:10:44,895
So he can't spin any more
gold out of human misery.
165
00:10:45,020 --> 00:10:46,605
What's wrong with you?
166
00:10:46,605 --> 00:10:47,523
Shut up!
167
00:10:47,523 --> 00:10:49,900
- Put it down.
- You're so fucking verbal.
168
00:10:49,900 --> 00:10:51,693
You talked me into giving you..
169
00:10:51,693 --> 00:10:54,238
a blowjob at
my father's funeral!
170
00:10:58,992 --> 00:11:00,577
You stop right there!
171
00:11:00,661 --> 00:11:02,412
Don't pull the trigger!
172
00:11:02,412 --> 00:11:06,166
If it makes you happy, my life's
been going badly.
173
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:10,462
I've been miserable. My girl
left me for a friend of mine.
174
00:11:10,462 --> 00:11:12,130
Insomnia. I've got herpes.
175
00:11:12,130 --> 00:11:14,633
I squandered all I have
on shrinks...
176
00:11:14,633 --> 00:11:16,343
and lawyers and whores.
177
00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:17,761
Fatigue syndrome.
178
00:11:17,970 --> 00:11:21,306
I won't stand up here on this
fucking roof...
179
00:11:21,306 --> 00:11:25,060
with aworld-class meshugana
cunt and beg for my life...
180
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:28,105
If you want, shoot me!
You interrupted me...
181
00:11:28,105 --> 00:11:31,733
- Whose life were you exploiting today?
- You'll be happy.
182
00:11:31,733 --> 00:11:32,943
It was re-writing.
183
00:11:32,985 --> 00:11:37,072
An autobiographical thing from
when I was first married.
184
00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:40,367
Harvey Stern married too young...
185
00:11:40,492 --> 00:11:44,663
to escape his parent's apartment,
arent-controlled cornucopia...
186
00:11:44,663 --> 00:11:47,499
of guilt, and
sou-deadening criticism.
187
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,669
By day, he labored in a shoe store.
188
00:11:51,336 --> 00:11:55,549
By night, he glowed intensely over
his Remington portable.
189
00:11:55,716 --> 00:11:57,384
Are you coming to bed?
190
00:11:58,218 --> 00:12:00,721
I'm in the middle of a sentence.
191
00:12:01,138 --> 00:12:03,015
- I lost my thread.
- I feel rejected.
192
00:12:03,015 --> 00:12:05,309
We never sleep together anymore.
193
00:12:05,309 --> 00:12:08,645
I don't knowwhat it is.
I'm just not attracted to her.
194
00:12:08,645 --> 00:12:12,191
- What does she do to put you off?
- It's my fault, too.
195
00:12:12,191 --> 00:12:15,527
I lie, telling her
I'm too wrapped up in work...
196
00:12:15,527 --> 00:12:19,907
when I'm actually hyper-sexually
aroused. Just not for her.
197
00:12:20,032 --> 00:12:21,074
Who for?
198
00:12:21,074 --> 00:12:22,326
Anyone else.
199
00:12:22,409 --> 00:12:25,245
Shehas a sister.
I'm dying to fuckher.
200
00:12:25,245 --> 00:12:26,538
A doll, thicklips.
201
00:12:27,206 --> 00:12:30,000
Her friend Jennifer?.
I dream of her.
202
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,754
I never cared about African
history but she's spellbinding.
203
00:12:33,754 --> 00:12:36,381
The truth is,
I never see a woman..
204
00:12:36,381 --> 00:12:39,635
that I dont wonder
what she's like in bed.
205
00:12:43,472 --> 00:12:45,098
I met a great hooker!
206
00:12:45,766 --> 00:12:47,017
A hooker?
207
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,102
Beautiful. From China.
208
00:12:50,354 --> 00:12:51,647
Unbelievable body.
209
00:12:52,648 --> 00:12:56,276
Schooled by tradition
in the art of pleasing men.
210
00:12:56,610 --> 00:12:57,861
Fifty clams.
211
00:12:59,112 --> 00:13:01,198
Isn't that cheating on your wife?
212
00:13:01,198 --> 00:13:03,909
No. It's not cheating.
She's a hooker.
213
00:13:03,909 --> 00:13:06,078
It's not like a love affair.
214
00:13:07,454 --> 00:13:11,208
You don't feel for a professional
like you do for yourwife.
215
00:13:11,208 --> 00:13:13,585
She comes over,
rubs on her oils...
216
00:13:13,585 --> 00:13:14,837
Oils?
217
00:13:15,170 --> 00:13:18,090
Into the sack.
She takes you to the moon.
218
00:13:18,090 --> 00:13:21,176
Lay half a C-note on her
she's history.
219
00:13:21,635 --> 00:13:23,345
Where would you do it?
220
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,223
I couldn't have her
at my apartment.
221
00:13:26,223 --> 00:13:30,727
You get a hotel room. It's what
I do when the wife's home.
222
00:13:32,396 --> 00:13:35,399
I don't have the dough.
Fifty's a lot in itself.
223
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:38,193
Maybe a friend'll let you use
his place.
224
00:13:38,193 --> 00:13:41,029
You're always bitching about
your sex life.
225
00:13:41,029 --> 00:13:42,531
I'm trying to help.
226
00:13:44,032 --> 00:13:46,743
I tell her you
gave me the number?
227
00:13:46,869 --> 00:13:49,830
Not my name!
Don't use your real name.
228
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,082
Of course. Not the real name.
229
00:13:52,082 --> 00:13:55,836
You borrow a friend's apartment,
you use his name.
230
00:13:55,836 --> 00:13:58,172
That way it'll be on the bell.
231
00:13:59,089 --> 00:14:01,258
Good fortune smiled on Harvey.
232
00:14:01,675 --> 00:14:05,637
One of his best friends,
Mendel Birnbaum, was hit by a car,
233
00:14:05,637 --> 00:14:09,474
and hovered between life and death
at New York Hospital...
234
00:14:09,474 --> 00:14:11,685
freeing up a great bachelor
apartment...
235
00:14:11,685 --> 00:14:13,145
for Harvey's tryst.
236
00:14:13,770 --> 00:14:15,939
Donning the otherman's robe...
237
00:14:16,023 --> 00:14:18,984
Harvey became
the swinger Mendel Birnbaum...
238
00:14:18,984 --> 00:14:20,235
and waited...
239
00:14:20,569 --> 00:14:22,988
his Oriental passport to paradise.
240
00:14:23,989 --> 00:14:26,033
You must be Mendel Birnbaum.
241
00:14:47,221 --> 00:14:48,555
Did you enjoy it?
242
00:14:48,931 --> 00:14:52,059
- Are you kidding? Be right back.
- Where you going?
243
00:14:52,059 --> 00:14:54,853
I'm going to check my pants
for another 50.
244
00:14:54,853 --> 00:14:56,522
I'd like to go again.
245
00:15:09,952 --> 00:15:10,994
Yes?
246
00:15:10,994 --> 00:15:12,830
- Mendel Birnbaum?
- Yes.
247
00:15:15,916 --> 00:15:17,167
Open.
248
00:15:17,668 --> 00:15:18,919
Who is it?
249
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,009
Who are you?
250
00:15:26,343 --> 00:15:27,803
I've come for you.
251
00:15:29,054 --> 00:15:32,266
- What are you talking about?
- I'm Death...
252
00:15:32,266 --> 00:15:34,434
and your name is on my list.
253
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:36,562
No!
254
00:15:36,562 --> 00:15:39,064
Wait a minute.
You've made a mistake.
255
00:15:39,064 --> 00:15:40,941
You don't have a minute.
256
00:15:41,066 --> 00:15:42,359
I'm not Mendel...
257
00:15:42,568 --> 00:15:44,736
Don't give me that bullshit!
258
00:15:45,195 --> 00:15:46,864
Look at your monogram.
259
00:15:47,197 --> 00:15:48,448
Mendel?
260
00:15:48,657 --> 00:15:50,325
Who are you talking to?
261
00:15:50,325 --> 00:15:51,785
Don't call me Mendel.
262
00:15:51,785 --> 00:15:54,204
- Please. I'm just using his pad.
- Right!
263
00:15:54,204 --> 00:15:56,206
They always have an excuse.
264
00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:58,041
Let's go!
265
00:15:58,250 --> 00:16:00,127
Move it, you little putz!
266
00:16:01,670 --> 00:16:04,423
I'm on the roof.
She's pointing a gun at me...
267
00:16:04,423 --> 00:16:07,217
we're out in the cold
and I'm panicked.
268
00:16:07,217 --> 00:16:10,137
I tell her a story I wrote
when I was younger...
269
00:16:10,137 --> 00:16:12,723
and she found it funny,
thank God.
270
00:16:13,682 --> 00:16:17,477
She laughed and relaxed and
she puts the gun down.
271
00:16:17,936 --> 00:16:20,230
So your writing saved your life.
272
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:22,482
It's amazing to me, you know?
273
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,738
The interesting thing apart
from the obvious sexual guilt...
274
00:16:27,863 --> 00:16:30,157
that I had when
I was young in the story...
275
00:16:30,157 --> 00:16:32,075
is that nothing's changed.
276
00:16:32,784 --> 00:16:34,077
It's years later.
277
00:16:34,411 --> 00:16:36,747
I had a shrink then and now...
278
00:16:36,788 --> 00:16:38,373
I'm six shrinks later...
279
00:16:38,373 --> 00:16:40,709
I'm three wives down the line.
280
00:16:40,792 --> 00:16:43,921
And I still can't get
my love life in order.
281
00:16:43,921 --> 00:16:45,422
I still love whores.
282
00:16:48,509 --> 00:16:52,679
It's ideal. You pay them, and
they come to the house...
283
00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:56,558
and you don't have to discuss
Proust or films or...
284
00:16:56,850 --> 00:16:59,561
I don't knowwhat's
happening to me.
285
00:17:02,689 --> 00:17:05,651
I just have not grown up
and I feel...
286
00:17:07,402 --> 00:17:09,279
I see other guys my age.
287
00:17:09,780 --> 00:17:12,074
I think of fucking
every woman I meet.
288
00:17:12,074 --> 00:17:14,326
I meet a woman in the bank...
289
00:17:14,493 --> 00:17:15,744
or on the bus...
290
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:19,164
I think: What's she look like naked?
Can I fuck her?
291
00:17:19,164 --> 00:17:20,374
This is crazy.
292
00:17:20,833 --> 00:17:24,503
I see guys I know that
are lawyers and doctors...
293
00:17:24,503 --> 00:17:26,296
with families and houses.
294
00:17:26,338 --> 00:17:27,714
They're not so...
295
00:17:28,131 --> 00:17:32,469
Does the U.S. President want
to fuck every woman he meets?
296
00:17:33,136 --> 00:17:34,388
Bad example.
297
00:17:36,473 --> 00:17:37,724
I don't know.
298
00:17:38,141 --> 00:17:39,601
Take Raoul Wallenberg...
299
00:17:39,601 --> 00:17:42,312
Did he want to bang every
waitress in Europe?
300
00:17:42,312 --> 00:17:43,564
Probably not.
301
00:17:43,647 --> 00:17:46,400
Tell me about
your honoring ceremony.
302
00:17:47,234 --> 00:17:48,443
That's bullshit.
303
00:17:49,403 --> 00:17:52,114
The same school that
threw me out years ago...
304
00:17:52,114 --> 00:17:53,782
now wants to honor me.
305
00:17:53,782 --> 00:17:55,701
Why'd they throw you out?
306
00:17:55,742 --> 00:17:58,745
Because I was not
interested in college.
307
00:17:58,996 --> 00:18:02,249
I wanted to be a writer.
Writing was all I cared about.
308
00:18:02,249 --> 00:18:04,710
I did not care about
the real world.
309
00:18:04,710 --> 00:18:07,462
I cared only about
the world of fiction.
310
00:18:07,462 --> 00:18:09,173
Plus I tried to give...
311
00:18:09,548 --> 00:18:13,260
the dean's wife and enema.
They didn't like that.
312
00:18:14,011 --> 00:18:15,470
The sad thing is...
313
00:18:15,470 --> 00:18:18,891
I've gotta drive way
upstate to be honored...
314
00:18:19,016 --> 00:18:22,895
and I have to go alone.
I got nobody to go with...
315
00:18:27,691 --> 00:18:30,068
What about bringing
your son with you?
316
00:18:30,068 --> 00:18:32,237
I can't. It's not
my visiting time.
317
00:18:32,237 --> 00:18:34,781
Joan is completely
inflexible, so...
318
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:37,117
She won't trade dates with you?
319
00:18:37,367 --> 00:18:39,244
I can't even get her
on the phone.
320
00:18:39,244 --> 00:18:40,662
She hates me and...
321
00:18:43,207 --> 00:18:46,627
for the first time in my life
I have writer's block.
322
00:18:46,627 --> 00:18:48,921
Now this, to me, is unheard of.
323
00:18:48,921 --> 00:18:52,674
I start these short stories
and I can't finish them.
324
00:18:52,674 --> 00:18:54,843
I can't get into my novel...
325
00:18:54,968 --> 00:18:56,929
because I took an advance.
326
00:18:59,139 --> 00:19:00,432
I don't know.
327
00:19:01,475 --> 00:19:05,062
I find I'm taking more pills
and medicine and...
328
00:19:05,521 --> 00:19:08,857
You remind me of that story
you were working on...
329
00:19:08,857 --> 00:19:10,108
two months ago...
330
00:19:10,442 --> 00:19:11,693
"The Actor"...
331
00:19:12,819 --> 00:19:14,821
Something's wrong with this lens.
332
00:19:14,821 --> 00:19:16,573
This one, too? I changed lenses!
333
00:19:16,573 --> 00:19:18,784
What do you mean?
Focus is off!
334
00:19:18,784 --> 00:19:22,287
- I don't know why it's a problem.
- The center's out of focus.
335
00:19:22,287 --> 00:19:24,915
I checked all the lenses,
they can't be soft.
336
00:19:24,915 --> 00:19:26,458
Let's move it. It's late.
337
00:19:26,458 --> 00:19:29,086
I'm tryin' to shoot Mel
and he's soft.
338
00:19:29,086 --> 00:19:30,128
What?
339
00:19:30,128 --> 00:19:34,258
- Where do you rent these lenses?
- The lenses are fine!
340
00:19:34,591 --> 00:19:37,427
- Mel's out of focus!
- That's what I said.
341
00:19:37,427 --> 00:19:39,805
Not the lens.
I mean Mel himself.
342
00:19:39,805 --> 00:19:41,598
Let me see!
Get the hell out.
343
00:19:41,598 --> 00:19:43,892
You're right. Mel's out of focus.
344
00:19:43,892 --> 00:19:45,269
What are you saying?
345
00:19:45,269 --> 00:19:47,646
I said the actor's out of focus.
346
00:19:47,646 --> 00:19:48,897
How can this be?
347
00:19:49,606 --> 00:19:51,024
Is something wrong?
348
00:19:51,191 --> 00:19:52,442
Mel, come here.
349
00:19:52,943 --> 00:19:55,362
I don't know how to say this...
350
00:19:55,362 --> 00:19:56,613
but you're soft.
351
00:19:56,822 --> 00:19:58,282
I've gained some weight.
352
00:19:58,282 --> 00:20:00,409
It's not that. You're soft.
353
00:20:01,285 --> 00:20:02,661
You're out of focus.
354
00:20:02,661 --> 00:20:05,581
I don't knowwhy.
Is there anything we can do?
355
00:20:05,581 --> 00:20:07,332
I can't adjust forthis.
356
00:20:07,457 --> 00:20:08,750
Look at yourself.
357
00:20:11,086 --> 00:20:12,754
You sure you're okay?
358
00:20:13,505 --> 00:20:14,756
It's fuzzy.
359
00:20:14,882 --> 00:20:16,175
All right, look...
360
00:20:16,967 --> 00:20:18,427
Mel's out of focus.
361
00:20:18,927 --> 00:20:20,470
You're not in focus.
362
00:20:20,512 --> 00:20:21,763
Nothing to do.
363
00:20:21,847 --> 00:20:24,558
It's 4 o'clock, anyway.
Why don't we just wrap?
364
00:20:24,558 --> 00:20:27,436
We'll wrap and
we'll see what happens
365
00:20:27,561 --> 00:20:30,105
Now look. I want you
to go home.
366
00:20:30,397 --> 00:20:32,191
And I want you to rest.
367
00:20:32,691 --> 00:20:35,068
And see if you can
sharpen up.
368
00:20:40,908 --> 00:20:42,201
Grace, I'm home.
369
00:20:42,576 --> 00:20:43,827
Hi, honey.
370
00:20:45,829 --> 00:20:48,582
What's the matter?
You look strange.
371
00:20:48,832 --> 00:20:50,250
I'm out of focus.
372
00:20:50,542 --> 00:20:51,668
Yeah...
373
00:20:51,668 --> 00:20:54,254
You are. Just a little bit.
You are.
374
00:20:54,254 --> 00:20:55,672
And you look pale.
375
00:20:55,923 --> 00:20:57,841
Daddy, you're all blurry!
376
00:20:58,550 --> 00:21:00,219
Maybe you should lie down.
377
00:21:00,219 --> 00:21:02,721
- I'll bring tea and toast?
- Daddy's out of focus!
378
00:21:02,721 --> 00:21:04,264
Daddy doesn't need that, okay?
379
00:21:04,264 --> 00:21:06,141
Come on now, you be nice.
380
00:21:06,141 --> 00:21:08,143
What happened at work today?
381
00:21:08,143 --> 00:21:10,020
First they thought
it was the camera...
382
00:21:10,020 --> 00:21:11,271
Reuben! Stop it!
383
00:21:12,397 --> 00:21:15,442
They thought it was the camera...
but it was me!
384
00:21:15,442 --> 00:21:16,902
- Really?
- They send me home.
385
00:21:16,902 --> 00:21:20,864
- It's humiliating.
- You eat anything strange? Shellfish?
386
00:21:20,864 --> 00:21:23,450
No. This is not
an allergic reaction.
387
00:21:23,450 --> 00:21:24,493
You know what?
388
00:21:24,493 --> 00:21:27,037
I just need to get a good
night's sleep.
389
00:21:27,037 --> 00:21:30,374
- I'm sure that's all it is.
- What happened to you?
390
00:21:30,374 --> 00:21:32,918
Get a good night's sleep.
Turn in early...
391
00:21:33,001 --> 00:21:35,087
and tomorrow you'll be fine.
392
00:21:35,170 --> 00:21:38,590
But the following morning
things did not improve.
393
00:21:38,590 --> 00:21:41,009
In fact, the situation was worse.
394
00:21:41,093 --> 00:21:43,804
Mel was more out of focus
than ever.
395
00:21:43,804 --> 00:21:45,806
I gotta get to the doctor.
396
00:21:46,932 --> 00:21:49,101
Never seen anything like this.
397
00:21:49,351 --> 00:21:53,272
Nothing's wrong with you,
except you're out of focus.
398
00:21:53,272 --> 00:21:54,523
What's the matter?
399
00:21:54,565 --> 00:21:57,359
It's from looking at Mel.
I'm a little seasick.
400
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,487
That's why I want everyone
to try these.
401
00:22:01,864 --> 00:22:04,449
- I don't wear glasses.
- Wait, let's see.
402
00:22:04,449 --> 00:22:05,701
I don't want glasses.
403
00:22:05,701 --> 00:22:08,412
- Put 'em on so you can see me.
- Better!
404
00:22:08,412 --> 00:22:11,540
- I look stupid with these on.
- Come on. Put 'em on.
405
00:22:11,540 --> 00:22:14,668
- Daddy'll be much sharper.
- Want to see Daddy?
406
00:22:14,668 --> 00:22:17,754
Put those on and
we won't get headaches.
407
00:22:18,714 --> 00:22:22,092
Despite the fact children
don't want to wear glasses...
408
00:22:22,092 --> 00:22:23,468
they're forced to.
409
00:22:24,469 --> 00:22:26,763
You expect the world to adjust...
410
00:22:26,763 --> 00:22:29,224
to the distortion
you've become.
411
00:22:29,266 --> 00:22:31,101
I don't expect anything.
412
00:22:31,977 --> 00:22:33,854
I'm going through something.
413
00:22:33,854 --> 00:22:37,774
Forthe first time in my life
I can't seem to write.
414
00:22:37,816 --> 00:22:40,152
It's not coming.
And for me...
415
00:22:41,028 --> 00:22:43,906
all I have in life
is my imagination.
416
00:22:44,281 --> 00:22:45,532
Ourtime is up.
417
00:22:46,158 --> 00:22:48,577
Have fun at the honoring ceremony.
418
00:22:48,577 --> 00:22:51,914
It'd be good if you took
your son with you.
419
00:22:54,708 --> 00:22:55,959
Joan!
420
00:22:56,168 --> 00:22:58,253
- You never return calls.
- Leave me alone!
421
00:22:58,253 --> 00:23:00,756
- How do I reach you?
- Shall I call the police?
422
00:23:00,756 --> 00:23:02,216
I've got a question.
423
00:23:02,216 --> 00:23:04,718
- Will you stop?
- No. I won't listen.
424
00:23:04,718 --> 00:23:08,889
Tomorrow they honor me at my old
school. I want to take Hilly.
425
00:23:08,889 --> 00:23:11,808
- He has school tomorrow.
- Trade a visitation day.
426
00:23:11,808 --> 00:23:13,810
No! I have plans with him.
427
00:23:14,102 --> 00:23:16,396
It'd be good for him
to see me honored.
428
00:23:16,396 --> 00:23:19,233
I don't want him to.
I don't want him to see you ever!
429
00:23:19,233 --> 00:23:22,361
He'll have a day in the country.
Will you stop?
430
00:23:22,361 --> 00:23:24,821
A day in the country.
What is so bad?
431
00:23:24,821 --> 00:23:26,198
He is 9 years old.
432
00:23:26,198 --> 00:23:30,160
Where does he learn phrases like
"banging beaver" and " fuck God"?
433
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,620
What are you saying?
From me?
434
00:23:31,620 --> 00:23:33,622
Do I look like an imbecile?
435
00:23:33,622 --> 00:23:35,374
I know your conversations with him...
436
00:23:35,374 --> 00:23:37,751
and I heard about "Open School Week".
437
00:23:37,751 --> 00:23:39,586
Beth Kramer was appalled.
438
00:23:40,587 --> 00:23:41,755
Dad?
439
00:23:41,755 --> 00:23:44,550
Why doesn't my penis
look like yours?
440
00:23:44,550 --> 00:23:47,052
Why doesn't your penis
look like mine?
441
00:23:47,052 --> 00:23:49,096
Because your mother and I...
442
00:23:49,429 --> 00:23:51,306
never had you circumcised.
443
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,893
When I was your age, you know
what kids used to do?
444
00:23:54,893 --> 00:23:56,854
They used to name their penises.
445
00:23:56,854 --> 00:23:58,856
I'm going to name mine Dillinger.
446
00:23:58,856 --> 00:24:01,859
Dillinger is perfect!
Dillinger is great!
447
00:24:01,984 --> 00:24:04,069
Hilly, you're inspired.
A genius.
448
00:24:04,069 --> 00:24:07,489
Dillingerwas a genius
in his chosen profession...
449
00:24:07,489 --> 00:24:08,782
like Willy Sutton.
450
00:24:09,074 --> 00:24:11,451
Remember how we
discussed Freud once?
451
00:24:11,451 --> 00:24:15,205
Freud said the two most important
things in life...
452
00:24:15,205 --> 00:24:18,000
are the work that you chose
and sex.
453
00:24:18,250 --> 00:24:19,501
Those two things.
454
00:24:19,585 --> 00:24:20,836
Women...
455
00:24:20,919 --> 00:24:22,212
are God.
456
00:24:22,421 --> 00:24:23,630
God's awoman?
457
00:24:23,630 --> 00:24:25,340
No. I'm not saying that.
458
00:24:25,340 --> 00:24:27,843
We don't know ifthere's
a God...
459
00:24:28,260 --> 00:24:29,761
but there are women.
460
00:24:30,220 --> 00:24:33,348
Not in some imaginary heaven,
but right here on earth.
461
00:24:33,348 --> 00:24:35,642
And some of them...
some of them...
462
00:24:35,642 --> 00:24:37,728
shop at Victoria's Secret...
463
00:24:38,228 --> 00:24:42,316
Beth Kramer has never been
so mortified in her entire life.
464
00:24:42,316 --> 00:24:45,652
Beth Kramer's a tight-assed,
busy body cunt...
465
00:24:45,652 --> 00:24:48,906
and it's none of her business
how I speak to my son.
466
00:24:48,906 --> 00:24:51,700
She is a decent parent
and great friend.
467
00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:54,703
Bullshit!
Just change one visitation day.
468
00:24:54,828 --> 00:24:56,330
What is so terrible?
469
00:24:56,580 --> 00:24:58,790
No! He is not going to miss school!
470
00:24:58,790 --> 00:25:01,710
If Hilly was sick
he would miss school!
471
00:25:01,710 --> 00:25:04,296
Yes, he would.
But he's not sick...
472
00:25:04,296 --> 00:25:07,758
and he's not spending the day
with his pill-popping...
473
00:25:07,758 --> 00:25:09,009
alcoholic...
474
00:25:09,426 --> 00:25:12,054
beaver-banging
excuse for a father.
475
00:25:12,346 --> 00:25:15,390
Years ago you didn't say that
about me.
476
00:25:15,474 --> 00:25:18,810
- You were an easy-going spirit...
- Put it in a book.
477
00:25:18,810 --> 00:25:19,937
What am I saying?
478
00:25:19,937 --> 00:25:21,230
You already did.
479
00:25:22,648 --> 00:25:25,400
"Epstein had married
his third shrink.
480
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,195
He'd confessed his
feelings for her often.
481
00:25:28,195 --> 00:25:30,906
She seemed to put it down
to transference
482
00:25:30,906 --> 00:25:33,242
But one day she surprised him. "
483
00:25:33,534 --> 00:25:34,910
I think it best...
484
00:25:35,285 --> 00:25:37,746
that we terminate your
treatment.
485
00:25:38,622 --> 00:25:40,707
And then, I think we should...
486
00:25:40,707 --> 00:25:43,377
give it a substantial
period oftime.
487
00:25:44,253 --> 00:25:46,755
Then, if we both feel
the same way...
488
00:25:46,755 --> 00:25:50,175
I think we can begin
to see each other again...
489
00:25:50,175 --> 00:25:51,426
socially.
490
00:25:53,428 --> 00:25:55,514
"It was, to Epstein thinking...
491
00:25:55,514 --> 00:25:57,266
a match made in Heaven.
492
00:25:57,683 --> 00:26:00,936
Here, at last, was a woman who
understood him. "
493
00:26:00,936 --> 00:26:02,729
You know all my secrets,
494
00:26:03,021 --> 00:26:05,232
every nuance of my psychic life.
495
00:26:05,232 --> 00:26:08,360
I've admitted every feeling
and desire in therapy.
496
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:10,737
Now it's your turn
to explore me.
497
00:26:10,737 --> 00:26:13,657
Yeah, but you accept
all my perversions.
498
00:26:13,657 --> 00:26:16,577
Being tied up, watching you
with other women.
499
00:26:16,577 --> 00:26:19,079
Feeling your spike heels
in my mouth.
500
00:26:19,079 --> 00:26:21,540
Non one can say I didn't know...
501
00:26:21,707 --> 00:26:24,168
what I was letting myself in for.
502
00:26:25,669 --> 00:26:28,046
The first two years
were amazing.
503
00:26:28,046 --> 00:26:30,757
They moved to a West
Side apartment.
504
00:26:30,757 --> 00:26:32,843
He wrote.
She saw patients.
505
00:26:33,051 --> 00:26:36,138
But her best insights
were into his work.
506
00:26:36,180 --> 00:26:39,725
What one comes away with
is your total isolation.
507
00:26:39,725 --> 00:26:43,061
Your fear of people,
your panic over closeness.
508
00:26:43,061 --> 00:26:46,273
And that's why your real life
is so chaotic...
509
00:26:46,273 --> 00:26:48,358
and your writing
is so much more...
510
00:26:48,358 --> 00:26:51,278
controlled and stable.
You're unable to..
511
00:26:51,278 --> 00:26:53,155
It all went quite well...
512
00:26:53,197 --> 00:26:56,200
until Helen became pregnant
and gave birth.
513
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,162
From then on, as if she'd
had a divine revelation...
514
00:27:00,370 --> 00:27:03,707
She became what Epstein
referred to angrily...
515
00:27:04,041 --> 00:27:06,210
as "Jewish with a vengeance. "
516
00:27:06,335 --> 00:27:08,086
I rue the day
I listened to you...
517
00:27:08,086 --> 00:27:10,672
and I didn't have him
circumcised.
518
00:27:10,797 --> 00:27:12,049
Are you nuts?
519
00:27:12,382 --> 00:27:13,842
We can still do it.
520
00:27:14,134 --> 00:27:14,968
No!
521
00:27:14,968 --> 00:27:16,220
He's too old.
522
00:27:16,553 --> 00:27:20,057
- Sure. Now he's too old.
- What is wrong with you?
523
00:27:20,057 --> 00:27:23,268
You're like a born-again Christian
except you're aJew.
524
00:27:23,310 --> 00:27:25,854
I see my father's face in Hillel.
525
00:27:26,855 --> 00:27:29,107
Hilliard. His name is Hilliard.
526
00:27:29,483 --> 00:27:33,111
We didn't name him Hillel.
Not after some rabbi.
527
00:27:33,111 --> 00:27:34,363
Hilliard Epstein.
528
00:27:34,988 --> 00:27:38,325
I'm sick of smug cynicism.
There's value in tradition.
529
00:27:38,325 --> 00:27:41,995
I thought it meant nothing,
but nowthat I'm a mother, it does.
530
00:27:41,995 --> 00:27:45,833
I see not only meaning
in Judaism, but true beauty.
531
00:27:46,250 --> 00:27:47,668
You're a scientist!
532
00:27:47,835 --> 00:27:49,378
Einstein was a scientist!
533
00:27:49,378 --> 00:27:52,297
And he was a Jew!
And he was religious!
534
00:27:52,297 --> 00:27:56,134
"Helen had taken on
the obligation of daily prayers.
535
00:27:56,176 --> 00:28:00,013
Jews, of course, fearing
a wrathful and vengefulgod...
536
00:28:00,013 --> 00:28:02,933
give praise and thanks
for everything. "
537
00:28:03,016 --> 00:28:06,270
Baruch atah adonai elohenu melech
ha-olam...
538
00:28:06,395 --> 00:28:07,771
borei pree hagofen.
539
00:28:10,858 --> 00:28:12,109
Hamotzi lechem...
540
00:28:12,442 --> 00:28:13,694
min ha-oretz.
541
00:28:14,528 --> 00:28:17,281
Vitzi-vonu I'hadlik nair
shel shabat.
542
00:28:17,948 --> 00:28:19,783
Boreh pree ha... blowjob.
543
00:28:21,702 --> 00:28:24,371
And one day the inevitable
happened.
544
00:28:24,538 --> 00:28:27,166
A patient of Helen's,
an Israeli...
545
00:28:27,332 --> 00:28:31,086
who had come to her, depressed
that his wife had left him...
546
00:28:31,086 --> 00:28:32,921
captured Helen's heart. "
547
00:28:33,172 --> 00:28:34,548
I think it best...
548
00:28:34,631 --> 00:28:36,842
that we terminate your
treatment,...
549
00:28:36,842 --> 00:28:38,802
give it a substantial time.
550
00:28:38,802 --> 00:28:41,221
Then, if we feel the same way...
551
00:28:41,305 --> 00:28:43,265
start to see each other...
552
00:28:43,473 --> 00:28:44,725
socially.
553
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,068
Lost in thought, I think.
554
00:28:55,068 --> 00:28:58,530
I was just, I was thinking
about a book I wrote.
555
00:28:58,530 --> 00:29:00,574
- Well, I'm a mess.
- What's the matter?
556
00:29:00,574 --> 00:29:04,453
I'm going to the doctor.
I have pains in my chest.
557
00:29:04,578 --> 00:29:05,787
It's nothing.
558
00:29:05,913 --> 00:29:09,124
It's indigestion or gallbladder
or acid reflux...
559
00:29:09,124 --> 00:29:12,711
I've got a family history.
My dad died of heart attack...
560
00:29:12,711 --> 00:29:14,880
my mother died
of a massive coronary.
561
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,759
Both brothers died before they
were 50 from heart failure.
562
00:29:18,759 --> 00:29:21,428
Why waste time talking?
Get an ambulance.
563
00:29:21,428 --> 00:29:22,721
Are you busy?
564
00:29:23,430 --> 00:29:25,307
I was going to see my editor.
565
00:29:25,307 --> 00:29:27,100
I just hate going alone.
566
00:29:27,392 --> 00:29:30,020
My mother died
giving birth to me.
567
00:29:31,063 --> 00:29:33,440
For which my father
never forgave me.
568
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,486
It's funny. I wish before he died,
I had forgiven him.
569
00:29:37,486 --> 00:29:41,073
But we're morbid. You think
you're dying but you're not.
570
00:29:41,073 --> 00:29:43,450
Today they got lasers,
all kinds of...
571
00:29:43,450 --> 00:29:45,577
Yeah, you and science, right?
572
00:29:46,286 --> 00:29:48,163
Nothing wrong with science.
573
00:29:48,163 --> 00:29:51,583
Between air-conditioning and the
Pope, I'll take air-conditioning.
574
00:29:51,583 --> 00:29:53,919
I'm scared.
I'm really scared.
575
00:29:53,961 --> 00:29:58,048
Can I change the subject?
You know I have writer's block?
576
00:29:58,048 --> 00:29:58,966
I know.
577
00:29:58,966 --> 00:30:00,008
I have awriter's block.
578
00:30:00,008 --> 00:30:01,593
First time in my life...
579
00:30:01,593 --> 00:30:04,930
I can't come up with an idea,
something to hold my interest.
580
00:30:04,930 --> 00:30:07,766
Since Fay left you you've been
having trouble.
581
00:30:07,766 --> 00:30:09,935
I'm seeing Fay later
for a drink.
582
00:30:09,935 --> 00:30:11,562
I think is very good.
583
00:30:12,020 --> 00:30:15,357
She's good for you.
She's a lot better than...
584
00:30:15,357 --> 00:30:18,068
a lot of those other
crazies that...
585
00:30:18,485 --> 00:30:19,736
My God! My arm!
586
00:30:20,445 --> 00:30:23,365
I'm telling you it's nothing.
Nothing.
587
00:30:23,699 --> 00:30:24,950
I'm not scared.
588
00:30:26,201 --> 00:30:28,787
- You're in great shape.
- Really?
589
00:30:29,037 --> 00:30:31,832
You just have a little
bursitis in your arm.
590
00:30:31,832 --> 00:30:34,543
That's fantastic!
My God, thank you!
591
00:30:34,751 --> 00:30:38,005
The loveliest words
to hear are not, "I love you"...
592
00:30:38,005 --> 00:30:39,423
but "It's benign. "
593
00:30:39,423 --> 00:30:42,885
We could do more tests,
but I don't think so.
594
00:30:42,885 --> 00:30:44,928
Your heart's in great shape.
595
00:30:45,012 --> 00:30:48,724
I hurt my back some weeks a go
opening a sub-zero refrigerator.
596
00:30:48,724 --> 00:30:51,435
- Let me buy a cup of coffee.
- Let me schedule you.
597
00:30:51,435 --> 00:30:53,103
- No. I don't have time.
- Let me schedule you.
598
00:30:53,103 --> 00:30:54,980
What are you doing tomorrow?
599
00:30:54,980 --> 00:30:56,231
I'm busy. Why?
600
00:30:56,231 --> 00:30:59,484
I'm going to my old school.
The honoring me.
601
00:30:59,484 --> 00:31:01,361
I'd like someone
to come with me.
602
00:31:01,361 --> 00:31:03,655
I can't get out of this thing...
603
00:31:03,655 --> 00:31:04,948
but that's great.
604
00:31:06,033 --> 00:31:07,284
Congratulations.
605
00:31:25,969 --> 00:31:28,138
- You look great.
- Thank you.
606
00:31:28,138 --> 00:31:29,681
You look a little tired.
607
00:31:29,681 --> 00:31:31,975
I'm struggling with this book.
608
00:31:32,935 --> 00:31:35,312
Naturally, I spent the advance...
609
00:31:35,646 --> 00:31:37,439
and I'm having atough...
610
00:31:38,774 --> 00:31:40,025
a tough time.
611
00:31:40,442 --> 00:31:42,736
I wanted to have
this drink because...
612
00:31:42,736 --> 00:31:44,404
Can I get a red wine?
613
00:31:44,404 --> 00:31:46,406
Same thing she has, please?
614
00:31:46,406 --> 00:31:49,076
I wanted to be the first
to tell you that...
615
00:31:49,076 --> 00:31:50,619
I'm getting married.
616
00:31:51,703 --> 00:31:52,955
Don't say that!
617
00:31:53,580 --> 00:31:55,457
- Why?
- What do you mean?
618
00:31:55,457 --> 00:31:56,708
Because...
619
00:31:57,334 --> 00:32:00,045
I love you.
How can you get married?
620
00:32:00,045 --> 00:32:01,255
Don't!
621
00:32:01,296 --> 00:32:03,423
- Who? Is it Larry?
- Yes, it's Larry!
622
00:32:03,423 --> 00:32:04,633
I knew it!
623
00:32:04,758 --> 00:32:06,927
I don't fucking believe this!
624
00:32:07,344 --> 00:32:10,264
This guy's allegedly
a friend of mine.
625
00:32:11,014 --> 00:32:13,392
It's the Devil.
And I introduced you.
626
00:32:13,392 --> 00:32:16,687
When Larry's around.
I smell burning sulfur.
627
00:32:16,937 --> 00:32:18,897
Can we have your blessing?
628
00:32:19,439 --> 00:32:22,526
No! You certainly
don't have my blessing!
629
00:32:22,901 --> 00:32:25,195
I don't want you
to get married.
630
00:32:25,195 --> 00:32:26,780
I don't want you to.
631
00:32:27,156 --> 00:32:28,198
I should go.
632
00:32:28,198 --> 00:32:29,408
I was your pupil.
633
00:32:29,449 --> 00:32:32,452
It was Henry Higgins
and Eliza Doolittle.
634
00:32:32,452 --> 00:32:34,872
That's what it was,
and that's what you loved.
635
00:32:34,872 --> 00:32:38,125
But it didn't work that way.
What can I say?
636
00:32:38,125 --> 00:32:39,960
Why did you
fall in love with me?
637
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:44,298
You gave me endless lectures
on love in the Western world.
638
00:32:44,464 --> 00:32:48,468
I didn't think I could.
I thought I was too damaged.
639
00:32:49,887 --> 00:32:54,391
I woke up one morning, and
I looked at you over breakfast...
640
00:32:54,391 --> 00:32:56,310
and I thought to myself...
641
00:32:56,476 --> 00:32:58,604
God, this is what they mean.
642
00:32:59,062 --> 00:33:01,148
This is what they were
talking about.
643
00:33:01,148 --> 00:33:04,151
All those warnings not to
fall in love with you!
644
00:33:04,151 --> 00:33:06,695
But then I fell in love with you.
645
00:33:06,695 --> 00:33:08,989
Thought you were
another jerk fan...
646
00:33:08,989 --> 00:33:10,199
I'd fuck you...
647
00:33:10,324 --> 00:33:14,328
and move on to the next fan.
But that didn't happen.
648
00:33:14,495 --> 00:33:15,829
You were a fan...
649
00:33:16,997 --> 00:33:18,248
and a follower...
650
00:33:18,749 --> 00:33:20,209
and then a pupil...
651
00:33:20,334 --> 00:33:22,503
and then you were a roommate.
652
00:33:22,628 --> 00:33:24,379
And before I knew it...
653
00:33:24,713 --> 00:33:27,508
you had control
ofthe channel changer.
654
00:33:33,764 --> 00:33:35,015
I loved you.
655
00:33:35,641 --> 00:33:37,309
I was in awe of you.
656
00:33:37,726 --> 00:33:40,187
But it wasn't in love with you.
657
00:33:41,396 --> 00:33:45,567
My old university is honoring me,
if you can believe that.
658
00:33:45,567 --> 00:33:48,695
Come with me, let me try
to talk you out of it...
659
00:33:48,695 --> 00:33:49,947
Just one day.
660
00:33:50,155 --> 00:33:52,241
I'm getting married tomorrow.
661
00:33:52,241 --> 00:33:55,828
- Tomorrow? The day I'm honored?
- Yes! Tomorrow!
662
00:33:55,911 --> 00:33:57,871
I can't fucking believe this.
663
00:33:57,871 --> 00:33:59,957
You're getting married tomorrow?
664
00:33:59,957 --> 00:34:02,251
Yes. It's been planned for months!
665
00:34:02,251 --> 00:34:03,502
Don't do it!
666
00:34:10,259 --> 00:34:12,469
"While Goldberg was asleep
onenight...
667
00:34:12,469 --> 00:34:14,805
the devil entered his apartment...
668
00:34:14,805 --> 00:34:17,182
abducted his beautiful
blonde love...
669
00:34:17,182 --> 00:34:18,725
and took her to hell.
670
00:34:18,725 --> 00:34:20,143
The next morning...
671
00:34:20,686 --> 00:34:24,356
Goldberg noticed the odd smell of
burning sulfur".
672
00:34:29,987 --> 00:34:31,238
Harry Block?
673
00:34:31,864 --> 00:34:33,157
You're Cookie?
674
00:34:33,323 --> 00:34:34,533
Cookie Williams.
675
00:34:34,575 --> 00:34:36,577
You wanted me here at ten?
676
00:34:43,542 --> 00:34:45,836
You wanna, shall we get to it?
677
00:34:46,336 --> 00:34:49,256
You don't want to talk
a little first?
678
00:34:49,256 --> 00:34:50,549
Talk? Why?
679
00:34:51,258 --> 00:34:54,052
Really? Most guys don't
like to jump into bed...
680
00:34:54,052 --> 00:34:57,514
without talking. They think it's
too businesslike.
681
00:34:57,514 --> 00:34:58,891
Not me. I'm not...
682
00:34:58,932 --> 00:35:00,225
that you'd tie me up.
683
00:35:00,225 --> 00:35:03,979
Whatever you want! Let's settle
the monetary part and then relax.
684
00:35:03,979 --> 00:35:05,230
Absolutely.
685
00:35:05,439 --> 00:35:07,316
- You get $200?
- That's right.
686
00:35:07,316 --> 00:35:09,568
So you want me to tie you up?
687
00:35:09,610 --> 00:35:10,903
Yeah, tie me up.
688
00:35:10,986 --> 00:35:12,529
I'd like you to hit me...
689
00:35:12,529 --> 00:35:14,239
and give me a blowjob.
690
00:35:14,406 --> 00:35:16,492
A blowjob, then you hit you.
691
00:35:16,492 --> 00:35:17,701
No.
692
00:35:17,743 --> 00:35:19,495
Hit me and then the blowjob.
693
00:35:19,495 --> 00:35:21,497
If the order's not right,
it's no fun.
694
00:35:21,497 --> 00:35:23,874
Tie me up, hit me,
give me a blowjob.
695
00:35:23,874 --> 00:35:25,876
What should I tie you with?
696
00:35:25,876 --> 00:35:29,630
The truth is I thought you
were going to wear stockings.
697
00:35:29,630 --> 00:35:32,090
Cookie,
you're a definite artist.
698
00:35:32,341 --> 00:35:34,927
They should put your lips
in the Smithsonian.
699
00:35:34,927 --> 00:35:37,846
It took you awhile.
I didn't think you'd make it.
700
00:35:37,846 --> 00:35:40,599
I was having a little
problem focusing.
701
00:35:40,599 --> 00:35:42,976
Finally, I got the right fantasy.
702
00:35:42,976 --> 00:35:45,896
I thought of awoman I saw
in the Sixth Avenue...
703
00:35:45,896 --> 00:35:48,607
and I coupled herwith
Svetlana Stalin.
704
00:35:48,607 --> 00:35:51,401
It's the daughter of the dictator.
It worked.
705
00:35:51,401 --> 00:35:53,695
What do you take medicine for?
706
00:35:54,530 --> 00:35:55,823
Me? Depression.
707
00:35:56,406 --> 00:35:58,408
What are you depressed about?
708
00:35:58,408 --> 00:36:01,119
Depressed. Don't you ever get
depressed?
709
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:03,372
Doesn't yourwork get you down?
710
00:36:03,413 --> 00:36:06,250
It's okay. Beats the hell out of
waitressing.
711
00:36:06,250 --> 00:36:07,376
It's funny.
712
00:36:07,376 --> 00:36:11,129
Every hooker I meet says it
beats the hell out of waitressing.
713
00:36:11,129 --> 00:36:14,258
Waitressing's got to be
the worst job in the world.
714
00:36:14,258 --> 00:36:15,592
It's unbelievable.
715
00:36:15,717 --> 00:36:17,469
What are you sad about?
716
00:36:18,220 --> 00:36:20,931
I'm spiritually bankrupt.
I'm empty.
717
00:36:20,931 --> 00:36:22,266
What do you mean?
718
00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:23,851
I'm frightened.
719
00:36:25,310 --> 00:36:27,729
I got no soul.
Knowwhat I mean?
720
00:36:27,813 --> 00:36:31,024
See, when I was younger,
it was less scary...
721
00:36:31,024 --> 00:36:34,278
waiting for Lefty than it is
waiting for Godot.
722
00:36:34,278 --> 00:36:35,529
You lost me.
723
00:36:35,737 --> 00:36:38,949
You know that the universe is
coming apart?
724
00:36:39,908 --> 00:36:42,161
You know what a black hole is?
725
00:36:42,202 --> 00:36:44,872
Yeah.
That's how I make my living.
726
00:36:45,414 --> 00:36:49,168
I gotta tell you, a great writer
named Sophocles...
727
00:36:49,168 --> 00:36:52,421
said it was probably best
not to be born al all.
728
00:36:52,421 --> 00:36:54,923
Honey, it's a little
too late forthat.
729
00:36:54,923 --> 00:36:59,428
I didn't want to come out.
They had to come in and get me.
730
00:37:00,137 --> 00:37:01,972
You want another blowjob?
731
00:37:03,265 --> 00:37:04,474
How come?
732
00:37:04,516 --> 00:37:06,185
On the house. No charge.
733
00:37:06,185 --> 00:37:09,521
Because them pills you takin'
sure ain't working.
734
00:37:09,521 --> 00:37:11,982
I'm just in a peculiar mood
tonight.
735
00:37:11,982 --> 00:37:14,610
Because I had
some bad news today.
736
00:37:15,152 --> 00:37:18,489
Let me ask you,
what are you doing tomorrow.
737
00:37:18,697 --> 00:37:19,948
Hustlin'.
738
00:37:20,199 --> 00:37:22,743
Yeah?
Why don't you come with me?
739
00:37:22,743 --> 00:37:23,952
Where?
740
00:37:23,994 --> 00:37:27,247
I'm going to my old school.
They're honoring me.
741
00:37:27,247 --> 00:37:29,416
I got nobody to share it with.
742
00:37:29,458 --> 00:37:31,543
I'm serious. Come with me.
743
00:37:32,252 --> 00:37:34,129
I'll give you 500 bucks.
744
00:37:34,129 --> 00:37:36,548
Sleep here,
come up with me tomorrow.
745
00:37:36,548 --> 00:37:38,175
Why you got all this money?
746
00:37:38,175 --> 00:37:40,594
I always have
hooker money because...
747
00:37:40,594 --> 00:37:44,681
I once paid by check years ago
and the IRS killed me.
748
00:37:57,778 --> 00:38:01,448
Fay, when you get this message,
if it's not too late...
749
00:38:01,448 --> 00:38:02,991
don't get married...
750
00:38:03,325 --> 00:38:04,868
because I love you...
751
00:38:06,161 --> 00:38:08,038
and I want to marry you.
752
00:38:09,998 --> 00:38:11,458
I was looking at...
753
00:38:12,125 --> 00:38:13,335
my last book...
754
00:38:13,836 --> 00:38:15,796
at the part where we met.
755
00:38:17,297 --> 00:38:20,634
I tried to exaggerate it
to make it funny...
756
00:38:20,676 --> 00:38:23,178
but it was actually
very romantic.
757
00:38:25,222 --> 00:38:27,182
- She can't hear.
- I'm in town.
758
00:38:27,182 --> 00:38:31,144
Norman's meeting me for "Les Mis. "
I have a free hour.
759
00:38:31,144 --> 00:38:32,938
I don't know if I can.
760
00:38:32,938 --> 00:38:37,526
I got our usual place at the
Wyndham. It's been 2 weeks ago.
761
00:38:37,526 --> 00:38:41,905
We gotta be fast. I can't make it
believable for so long.
762
00:38:46,368 --> 00:38:48,162
You'll be back in an hour.
763
00:38:48,162 --> 00:38:50,247
I have to be done by then anyway.
764
00:38:50,247 --> 00:38:51,957
Think I'll take awalk.
765
00:38:56,503 --> 00:38:57,754
Now?
766
00:38:59,131 --> 00:39:01,717
Yes, I thought that I would just...
767
00:39:02,759 --> 00:39:04,553
just get some fresh air.
768
00:39:07,848 --> 00:39:09,099
Okay.
769
00:39:36,335 --> 00:39:37,586
Excuse me.
770
00:39:38,003 --> 00:39:39,505
Are you Harry Block?
771
00:39:40,088 --> 00:39:41,340
Yes.
772
00:39:41,882 --> 00:39:45,552
- Your writing's so meaningful to me.
- Thank you.
773
00:39:45,844 --> 00:39:48,722
I can't believe I'm in
the elevator with you.
774
00:39:48,722 --> 00:39:50,140
It's no big deal.
775
00:39:50,807 --> 00:39:52,392
Are you staying here?
776
00:39:52,809 --> 00:39:54,603
No. I'm meeting someone.
777
00:40:06,573 --> 00:40:07,825
What is this?
778
00:40:08,450 --> 00:40:09,785
It's stuck again.
779
00:40:10,536 --> 00:40:14,706
Ifthis was one of my stories,
this elevator would get stuck...
780
00:40:14,706 --> 00:40:19,169
and you and I would start a major
affair, and fall in love.
781
00:40:29,304 --> 00:40:32,307
Promise you won't
fall in love with me.
782
00:40:32,349 --> 00:40:33,559
No?
783
00:40:34,309 --> 00:40:36,770
Definitely not.
Not a good idea.
784
00:40:36,937 --> 00:40:38,146
Why?
785
00:40:38,188 --> 00:40:39,314
Because...
786
00:40:39,314 --> 00:40:40,774
I'm too screwed up.
787
00:40:42,860 --> 00:40:44,111
I have...
788
00:40:44,528 --> 00:40:45,779
too many quirks.
789
00:40:49,533 --> 00:40:51,702
I have trouble being faithful.
790
00:40:52,536 --> 00:40:55,289
I have too many phobias.
I'm crazy.
791
00:40:55,581 --> 00:40:59,001
Yeah, but I fell in love with you
before I met you.
792
00:40:59,001 --> 00:41:00,294
When I read you.
793
00:41:00,878 --> 00:41:03,714
Yes, but you fell in love
with my work.
794
00:41:03,714 --> 00:41:05,591
That's a different thing.
795
00:41:06,341 --> 00:41:09,386
I love yourwork.
I love your imagination.
796
00:41:10,179 --> 00:41:11,430
I love it.
797
00:41:11,763 --> 00:41:15,225
But this is not a book.
You know what I mean.
798
00:41:15,809 --> 00:41:18,979
We're not characters
in a fictional thing.
799
00:41:20,606 --> 00:41:23,108
- So don't fall in love with me.
- Kiss me.
800
00:41:23,108 --> 00:41:25,777
- Promise you won't.
- No, kiss me.
801
00:41:26,778 --> 00:41:28,030
I promise.
802
00:41:43,921 --> 00:41:45,214
Thank you.
803
00:41:48,550 --> 00:41:50,802
The subway took forever. Sorry.
804
00:41:51,678 --> 00:41:53,805
You said you weren't coming.
805
00:41:53,972 --> 00:41:55,015
What do you mean?
806
00:41:55,015 --> 00:41:57,100
- We said 10. I'm sure.
- No.
807
00:41:57,100 --> 00:41:59,895
I called last night,
to say I got out of my thing.
808
00:41:59,895 --> 00:42:01,188
You called? When?
809
00:42:01,271 --> 00:42:03,857
At 9.30 last night.
You don't remember?
810
00:42:03,857 --> 00:42:05,651
I interrupted you writing.
811
00:42:05,651 --> 00:42:08,487
- We spoke on the phone.
- Absolutely.
812
00:42:08,570 --> 00:42:10,948
My mind has been playing tricks.
813
00:42:11,073 --> 00:42:13,158
This is Cookie Williams,
Richard.
814
00:42:13,158 --> 00:42:14,409
How ya doing?
815
00:42:14,535 --> 00:42:15,869
What's so special
about this honor?
816
00:42:15,869 --> 00:42:18,914
He's being honored by
the school that expelled him.
817
00:42:18,914 --> 00:42:21,500
If only Hilly could see me,
he'd be so proud.
818
00:42:21,500 --> 00:42:25,379
It's sad, but short of kidnapping,
he ain't coming.
819
00:42:26,755 --> 00:42:27,965
Oh, dear!
820
00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:39,351
Dad?
821
00:42:39,434 --> 00:42:42,771
- Hilly, Where you going?
- What are you doing?
822
00:42:42,771 --> 00:42:43,897
Stop it!
823
00:42:43,897 --> 00:42:45,065
It's an emergency.
824
00:42:45,065 --> 00:42:47,276
What are you doing?
Come on!
825
00:42:48,902 --> 00:42:50,362
You can't do this!
826
00:42:50,612 --> 00:42:52,489
Hilly, get out ofthe car!
827
00:42:54,658 --> 00:42:57,578
Somebody stop this man!
He's a deviant!
828
00:42:57,578 --> 00:42:58,912
Somebody stop him!
829
00:42:59,121 --> 00:43:00,956
Somebody call the police!
830
00:43:28,150 --> 00:43:30,402
- It's fabulous up here.
- Beautiful.
831
00:43:30,402 --> 00:43:32,029
Look, a ferris wheel!
832
00:43:33,030 --> 00:43:34,907
- Look at the swings!
- Want to go?
833
00:43:34,907 --> 00:43:36,158
Yeah!
834
00:43:41,997 --> 00:43:43,248
Very good!
835
00:43:44,708 --> 00:43:46,251
Would you like this?
836
00:43:46,376 --> 00:43:47,628
Dad, high-five!
837
00:43:55,677 --> 00:43:57,429
You want some ofthis joint?
838
00:43:57,429 --> 00:43:59,681
No. I can't stand that stuff.
839
00:44:00,224 --> 00:44:02,100
You see that place there?
840
00:44:02,226 --> 00:44:03,727
That Red Apple Rest?
841
00:44:04,311 --> 00:44:05,562
Years ago...
842
00:44:05,687 --> 00:44:07,856
my then wife, Jane,
and I...
843
00:44:08,357 --> 00:44:11,401
were coming back from
her sister's house...
844
00:44:11,401 --> 00:44:12,861
and we had a fight.
845
00:44:12,861 --> 00:44:16,490
She had her period, and we
stopped to get water for Midol.
846
00:44:16,490 --> 00:44:18,200
I don't want a child!
847
00:44:18,492 --> 00:44:20,994
And don't bring it up
in front of my parents!
848
00:44:20,994 --> 00:44:24,122
- I don't understand.
- We've discussed it!
849
00:44:24,122 --> 00:44:26,500
- Don't I get a vote?
- You have a child!
850
00:44:26,500 --> 00:44:29,419
- Who I never get to see!
- That's not my fault!
851
00:44:29,461 --> 00:44:31,129
I like being a father.
852
00:44:31,129 --> 00:44:34,258
I'm not Lucy. You knew
that when you married me!
853
00:44:34,258 --> 00:44:36,552
So your work means no children.
854
00:44:37,052 --> 00:44:39,096
Since when are you a family man?
855
00:44:39,096 --> 00:44:42,266
Don't think I don't see
you staring at my sister Lucy.
856
00:44:42,266 --> 00:44:43,475
What?
857
00:44:43,517 --> 00:44:45,018
Don't play ignorant.
858
00:44:45,185 --> 00:44:47,062
You watch her walk and sit.
859
00:44:47,062 --> 00:44:49,356
You can't keep
your eyes off hertoes!
860
00:44:49,356 --> 00:44:52,693
Are you fucking nuts?
What are you suggesting?
861
00:44:52,693 --> 00:44:57,281
I wouldn't put it past you if you
wanted to have athing with her.
862
00:44:57,281 --> 00:44:59,908
She's a neurotic, suburban Hausfrau!
863
00:44:59,992 --> 00:45:02,619
I have no interest in her.
Zero. Nothing.
864
00:45:02,619 --> 00:45:05,205
You're level of denial
is a little intense.
865
00:45:05,205 --> 00:45:09,209
You're suffering from
a pre-menstrual nuclear meltdown.
866
00:45:09,710 --> 00:45:10,961
You want a hit?
867
00:45:12,212 --> 00:45:14,381
No. That smoke is killing me.
868
00:45:16,550 --> 00:45:20,345
I'm going to go to the bathroom.
Catch you later.
869
00:45:33,650 --> 00:45:35,903
Cold fish, your third ex-wife.
870
00:45:36,069 --> 00:45:38,572
She never would have made
a good mother.
871
00:45:38,572 --> 00:45:39,823
Who are you?
872
00:45:40,449 --> 00:45:41,700
It's me. Ken!
873
00:45:45,037 --> 00:45:49,208
Look at this guy! You created me,
now you don't recognize me?
874
00:45:49,208 --> 00:45:52,127
I'm a little bit high because
of her smoke...
875
00:45:52,127 --> 00:45:54,546
How'd you ever
hook up with Jane?
876
00:45:54,546 --> 00:45:58,383
Jane was fine. Jane was just
having her period. She was...
877
00:45:58,383 --> 00:46:00,344
It wasn't just her period.
878
00:46:00,469 --> 00:46:02,721
She was a cold, selfish woman.
879
00:46:02,888 --> 00:46:07,434
She's so self-involved she doesn't
realize her sister hates her.
880
00:46:07,434 --> 00:46:09,311
How do you know so much?
881
00:46:10,062 --> 00:46:12,356
I'm just you, thinly disguised.
882
00:46:12,773 --> 00:46:16,944
You gave me a little more
maturity and a different name.
883
00:46:16,944 --> 00:46:19,238
Are you saying that I knowthis?
884
00:46:19,363 --> 00:46:21,323
Yes!
That's why you picked her!
885
00:46:21,323 --> 00:46:24,243
So it wouldn't work, and you'd
never have to give up...
886
00:46:24,243 --> 00:46:28,163
sport-fucking and chronic
dissatisfaction and grow up.
887
00:46:28,205 --> 00:46:31,750
I won't stand here and get
lectured by my own creation.
888
00:46:31,750 --> 00:46:33,210
You can't fool me.
889
00:46:33,710 --> 00:46:37,172
I'm not your shrink.
He only knows what you tell him.
890
00:46:37,172 --> 00:46:38,340
I knowthe truth.
891
00:46:38,340 --> 00:46:39,883
And her sister, Lucy.
892
00:46:40,300 --> 00:46:41,635
Another head-case.
893
00:46:42,594 --> 00:46:44,346
You sure can pick them.
894
00:46:44,596 --> 00:46:46,765
But even she was better
than Jane.
895
00:46:46,765 --> 00:46:49,142
More maternal and she loved you.
896
00:46:49,601 --> 00:46:52,813
You weren't there the day your
bomb dropped on her...
897
00:46:52,813 --> 00:46:54,064
but take a look.
898
00:46:56,441 --> 00:46:57,734
He left me!
899
00:46:58,026 --> 00:46:59,862
Our marriage is finished!
900
00:47:00,404 --> 00:47:02,239
I'm sorry to hear that.
901
00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:04,491
You shocked?
902
00:47:04,575 --> 00:47:05,868
Yes and no.
903
00:47:06,577 --> 00:47:09,913
Things have not been very good
for some time.
904
00:47:09,913 --> 00:47:11,707
I knew he played around.
905
00:47:12,499 --> 00:47:14,918
Did you?
You never mentioned that.
906
00:47:14,918 --> 00:47:18,046
I don't like to discuss
my private life.
907
00:47:18,172 --> 00:47:21,508
First suspected Lynn, his editor.
Then I thought...
908
00:47:21,508 --> 00:47:24,803
it might be Allison Davis,
a friend of ours.
909
00:47:25,262 --> 00:47:28,640
I even thought he might have
a crush on you.
910
00:47:28,682 --> 00:47:29,933
Me?
911
00:47:30,267 --> 00:47:34,271
You're beautiful and we've spent
a lot oftime together...
912
00:47:34,271 --> 00:47:36,732
and you two get along very well.
913
00:47:36,732 --> 00:47:40,736
Obviously I knew you never would
in a million years...
914
00:47:41,278 --> 00:47:43,780
but I imagined he longed for you.
915
00:47:44,406 --> 00:47:48,410
I even heard him mention
your name in his sleep once.
916
00:47:49,328 --> 00:47:50,621
My goodness.
917
00:47:55,167 --> 00:47:56,418
That's absurd!
918
00:47:58,295 --> 00:47:59,546
Really!
919
00:48:01,006 --> 00:48:02,257
You're all red!
920
00:48:02,883 --> 00:48:04,134
No!
921
00:48:07,054 --> 00:48:08,305
Are you okay?
922
00:48:11,016 --> 00:48:13,143
Since we're talking openly...
923
00:48:14,561 --> 00:48:16,688
I have a confession to make.
924
00:48:17,689 --> 00:48:18,941
Yes?
925
00:48:22,152 --> 00:48:25,906
Life sometimes takes very
strange twists and turns.
926
00:48:26,365 --> 00:48:29,576
It overwhelms us, and we can't
help our feelings.
927
00:48:29,576 --> 00:48:31,245
Our feelings are irrational.
928
00:48:31,245 --> 00:48:35,582
But to hear from your husband
that he found another woman!
929
00:48:36,250 --> 00:48:37,501
He said that?
930
00:48:37,835 --> 00:48:40,671
He said his future
is all mapped out.
931
00:48:46,051 --> 00:48:48,887
I'm going to be totally
frank with you.
932
00:48:48,887 --> 00:48:51,890
- Try to hang on and understand.
- What? I'm being replaced.
933
00:48:51,890 --> 00:48:53,976
But it doesn't have to be
a nightmare...
934
00:48:53,976 --> 00:48:56,436
ifwe're all just mature about it.
935
00:48:56,478 --> 00:48:58,480
Replaced by a 25-year-old.
936
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,401
- Excuse me?
- A 25-year-old.
937
00:49:02,401 --> 00:49:06,029
A wanna-be writer. Fay Sexton is her
sexy name.
938
00:49:08,490 --> 00:49:11,285
What's the matter?
Now you're white!
939
00:49:13,996 --> 00:49:16,623
Lucy have you
eaten anything today?
940
00:49:19,710 --> 00:49:21,753
Have a drink.
Finish that.
941
00:49:22,838 --> 00:49:26,383
- How could I believe such a liar.
- I'm weak!
942
00:49:29,928 --> 00:49:31,180
What's wrong?
943
00:49:31,722 --> 00:49:33,724
You'd think he dumped you.
944
00:49:34,308 --> 00:49:37,394
- You feel bad, but can handle it.
- Air!
945
00:49:37,769 --> 00:49:39,771
I'm in shock today, but...
946
00:49:41,190 --> 00:49:43,025
I want to speak to Fay.
947
00:49:43,108 --> 00:49:46,320
It's Harry Block. I've been trying
to reach her.
948
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,239
No, it's an emergency.
I gotta talk...
949
00:49:49,448 --> 00:49:53,035
Tell her to call me back.
It's the car number.
950
00:49:53,202 --> 00:49:54,453
Yes. The car!
951
00:49:54,745 --> 00:49:58,332
- She's in love with someone else.
- This guy is too old for her.
952
00:49:58,332 --> 00:49:59,583
Younger than you.
953
00:49:59,875 --> 00:50:02,794
I'm much too old for her.
It's ridiculous.
954
00:50:02,794 --> 00:50:06,840
- But my immaturity makes me boyish.
- Is it much longer, Dad?
955
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,593
- We just got done at the fair.
- You're speeding.
956
00:50:09,593 --> 00:50:12,679
- About how much longer is it?
- It won't be long.
957
00:50:12,679 --> 00:50:15,974
Okay, my sister lives
ten minutes from here.
958
00:50:16,141 --> 00:50:18,227
We'll surprise her.
It'll be fun.
959
00:50:18,227 --> 00:50:20,938
- You can eat and walk around.
- She's your half-sister.
960
00:50:20,938 --> 00:50:23,357
But it'll still be 10 minutes...
961
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,109
not 5, 'cause she's
a half-sister.
962
00:50:30,656 --> 00:50:31,907
It's wonderful!
963
00:50:33,033 --> 00:50:34,910
- It is so funny.
- Do you think?
964
00:50:34,910 --> 00:50:36,912
- And it's so sad.
- You're so sweet.
965
00:50:36,912 --> 00:50:37,955
I love it.
966
00:50:37,955 --> 00:50:40,415
You're so great.
You're so kind to me.
967
00:50:40,415 --> 00:50:43,252
You have such a sweet,
kind instinct.
968
00:50:44,503 --> 00:50:45,796
Don't do that.
969
00:50:46,922 --> 00:50:49,383
I count on you
to be critical...
970
00:50:49,508 --> 00:50:52,761
to really be tough.
You're too easy on me.
971
00:50:52,845 --> 00:50:54,513
What's wrong with this?
972
00:50:54,513 --> 00:50:56,807
What's wrong is that it had...
973
00:50:56,849 --> 00:50:58,141
it had no energy.
974
00:50:58,892 --> 00:51:01,019
I became discouraged with it.
975
00:51:01,103 --> 00:51:03,897
It doesn't release any power.
It's nothing.
976
00:51:03,897 --> 00:51:06,358
I thought it was really touching.
977
00:51:06,900 --> 00:51:10,779
You knew when the boy grew up
he would never learn to love.
978
00:51:10,779 --> 00:51:12,739
I think your problem is...
979
00:51:12,865 --> 00:51:15,576
that you love too easily,
and too much.
980
00:51:15,576 --> 00:51:18,453
I think you're beautiful,
and great...
981
00:51:18,829 --> 00:51:21,165
and too kind to me, and lovely.
982
00:51:22,332 --> 00:51:24,751
But you're not in love with me.
983
00:51:24,877 --> 00:51:27,921
I told you not to fall
in love with me.
984
00:51:28,714 --> 00:51:31,300
But still haven't
figured out why.
985
00:51:32,551 --> 00:51:35,721
Why? Because I'm the boy
in that story...
986
00:51:36,221 --> 00:51:37,598
and I can't love.
987
00:51:38,223 --> 00:51:40,475
So, I don't want you to
get into anything.
988
00:51:40,475 --> 00:51:41,727
You love Hilly.
989
00:51:42,895 --> 00:51:44,146
What?
990
00:51:44,354 --> 00:51:45,606
You love Hilly.
991
00:51:48,525 --> 00:51:49,985
Sure. I love Hilly.
992
00:51:50,611 --> 00:51:54,114
He's my son. It's easy to love
a little kid.
993
00:51:54,490 --> 00:51:55,699
You love music.
994
00:51:56,658 --> 00:51:58,327
And you love baseball.
995
00:51:58,952 --> 00:52:02,623
Baseball's also easy,
because it has rules, foul lines...
996
00:52:02,623 --> 00:52:04,500
but women are complicated.
997
00:52:07,628 --> 00:52:08,837
Happy birthday.
998
00:52:09,046 --> 00:52:10,297
You're kidding!
999
00:52:10,631 --> 00:52:12,174
Come on, open it up.
1000
00:52:13,008 --> 00:52:15,761
You didn't have to
get me anything.
1001
00:52:16,136 --> 00:52:17,804
Another sweater, right?
1002
00:52:19,806 --> 00:52:22,601
A baseball signed by
the 1951 Giants.
1003
00:52:23,352 --> 00:52:25,145
Really! That's so great!
1004
00:52:25,771 --> 00:52:27,022
Bobby Thomson!
1005
00:52:27,940 --> 00:52:30,984
They were the one genuine miracle
of my lifetime!
1006
00:52:30,984 --> 00:52:32,945
When he hit that home run...
1007
00:52:32,945 --> 00:52:36,824
it was the only hint I've had
there may be a God.
1008
00:52:38,659 --> 00:52:40,661
What made you think of it?
1009
00:52:40,994 --> 00:52:42,246
It was easy.
1010
00:52:44,623 --> 00:52:46,208
You are the greatest.
1011
00:52:46,500 --> 00:52:48,961
It's your birthday,
so you get awish.
1012
00:52:49,002 --> 00:52:52,464
Anything at all that'll make
your day special.
1013
00:52:53,590 --> 00:52:56,802
You are the greatest.
I don't deserve you.
1014
00:52:57,261 --> 00:52:58,512
You're too...
1015
00:52:58,595 --> 00:52:59,847
Too what?
1016
00:53:08,063 --> 00:53:11,108
- We thought we'd stop in to see you.
- Come in!
1017
00:53:11,108 --> 00:53:13,569
This is Richard.
This is Cookie.
1018
00:53:14,027 --> 00:53:16,530
I'm your Aunt Doris.
You won't remember me.
1019
00:53:16,530 --> 00:53:17,990
Remember Uncle Burt?
1020
00:53:18,073 --> 00:53:19,867
You haven't seen him
in awhile.
1021
00:53:19,867 --> 00:53:21,326
It's been a long while.
1022
00:53:21,326 --> 00:53:24,288
Something to eat?
A cookie or something?
1023
00:53:24,788 --> 00:53:26,290
Come in the kitchen.
1024
00:53:27,082 --> 00:53:30,085
I gotta go to the bathroom.
Where's the john?
1025
00:53:30,085 --> 00:53:33,505
The bathroom! You just go right
through there.
1026
00:53:33,505 --> 00:53:35,632
So, I thought we'd drop in.
1027
00:53:38,635 --> 00:53:41,763
You're the last person
I ever expected to see.
1028
00:53:41,763 --> 00:53:43,473
Don't say that, Doris.
1029
00:53:43,724 --> 00:53:46,768
- And what's with Cookie?
- Cookie's the nanny.
1030
00:53:46,768 --> 00:53:49,396
You get her from an agency
or massage parlor?
1031
00:53:49,396 --> 00:53:51,315
What are you picking on...
1032
00:53:51,565 --> 00:53:55,110
Still with the sex pots,
the tramps, the vilda chayes.
1033
00:53:55,110 --> 00:53:56,612
She's got a Ph. D.
1034
00:53:57,070 --> 00:54:00,073
I bet she got an "A" on her
oral exam.
1035
00:54:01,366 --> 00:54:03,869
Give me a break!
I drive upstate...
1036
00:54:03,869 --> 00:54:06,705
and take the time to drop in
to say hello.
1037
00:54:06,705 --> 00:54:10,000
Can you believe they're
honoring me at Adair? I can't.
1038
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,795
Not that I care, but it's great
for Hilly to see me.
1039
00:54:13,795 --> 00:54:16,548
The last time I saw him
he was six years old.
1040
00:54:16,590 --> 00:54:19,092
You don't exactly contact me either.
1041
00:54:19,092 --> 00:54:20,886
I know what you think of me.
1042
00:54:20,886 --> 00:54:23,055
Please Doris, don't start in.
1043
00:54:23,472 --> 00:54:25,891
Am I wrong?
It's all in your book.
1044
00:54:25,891 --> 00:54:28,435
"Too Jewish",
"professional Jewish".
1045
00:54:28,477 --> 00:54:32,648
You attributed it to your ex-wife,
but used the details of my life...
1046
00:54:32,648 --> 00:54:34,608
to depict herwith contempt.
1047
00:54:35,275 --> 00:54:38,779
- What are you talking about?
- What am I talking about?
1048
00:54:38,779 --> 00:54:41,114
You portrayed your 'ex'
as a horror.
1049
00:54:41,114 --> 00:54:44,827
And to make her unsympathetic,
you used some of her,...
1050
00:54:44,827 --> 00:54:48,539
but mostly you caricatured
my religious dedication.
1051
00:54:48,789 --> 00:54:52,876
Because it always enraged you that
I returned to my roots.
1052
00:54:52,876 --> 00:54:56,129
What roots? You were a wonderful,
sweet kid.
1053
00:54:56,421 --> 00:54:58,799
You got me through my childhood.
1054
00:54:59,675 --> 00:55:01,760
Then you go to Fort Lauderdale...
1055
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,680
and you meet this fanatic,
this zealot.
1056
00:55:05,389 --> 00:55:07,891
He fills you full of superstition.
1057
00:55:08,308 --> 00:55:09,601
It's tradition.
1058
00:55:09,893 --> 00:55:12,563
Tradition is the illusion
of permanence.
1059
00:55:12,563 --> 00:55:14,439
You have no values.
Your life...
1060
00:55:14,439 --> 00:55:17,734
it's nihilism, cynicism,
sarcasm and orgasm.
1061
00:55:18,110 --> 00:55:21,530
In France I could run on
that slogan and win.
1062
00:55:22,281 --> 00:55:26,243
I'm aJew. I was born aJew.
Do you hate me because ofthat?
1063
00:55:26,243 --> 00:55:28,495
And if our parents converted...
1064
00:55:28,537 --> 00:55:32,291
to Catholicism a month before you
were born, we'd be Catholics.
1065
00:55:32,291 --> 00:55:34,960
They're clubs.
They're exclusionary.
1066
00:55:36,461 --> 00:55:39,381
They foster the concept of
"the other"...
1067
00:55:39,381 --> 00:55:41,258
so you know who to hate.
1068
00:55:41,466 --> 00:55:42,718
That's enough!
1069
00:55:43,260 --> 00:55:45,846
A question: If a Jew
gets massacred...
1070
00:55:45,846 --> 00:55:49,183
does it bother you more than
if it's a Gentile...
1071
00:55:49,183 --> 00:55:51,059
or a black or a Bosnian?
1072
00:55:52,102 --> 00:55:54,813
Yes, it does. I can't help it.
It's my people.
1073
00:55:54,813 --> 00:55:56,607
They're all your people.
1074
00:55:56,607 --> 00:56:00,402
Burt is right about you.
You're a self-hating Jew.
1075
00:56:00,652 --> 00:56:03,530
I may hate myself,
but not because I'm Jewish.
1076
00:56:03,530 --> 00:56:05,240
Not a self-hating Jew,...
1077
00:56:05,240 --> 00:56:08,911
but look how he talks about them
in his stories.
1078
00:56:09,620 --> 00:56:13,165
Max and Dolly Pincus
were married for 30 years.
1079
00:56:13,165 --> 00:56:14,958
They raised two children...
1080
00:56:14,958 --> 00:56:18,921
participated generously at
family weddings and bar mitzvahs.
1081
00:56:18,921 --> 00:56:20,214
Max, How are you?
1082
00:56:21,381 --> 00:56:23,467
Mazel tov. Here, for Donald.
1083
00:56:24,635 --> 00:56:25,886
Thank you, Max.
1084
00:56:30,682 --> 00:56:31,934
Dolly!
1085
00:56:32,476 --> 00:56:34,353
You got a private minute?
1086
00:56:34,436 --> 00:56:37,773
Sure. We're leaving anyhow
in a few minutes.
1087
00:56:39,441 --> 00:56:41,443
I don't know if
I should tell you.
1088
00:56:41,443 --> 00:56:42,861
What? Tell me what?
1089
00:56:43,529 --> 00:56:46,448
Tell me, and I'll tell you
if you should tell me.
1090
00:56:46,448 --> 00:56:47,825
My heart is heavy.
1091
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,870
Nothing terrible happened
to your husband Phil, did it?
1092
00:56:51,870 --> 00:56:54,373
He's been dead for so many years.
1093
00:56:55,833 --> 00:56:58,335
When I was in Florida last week...
1094
00:56:58,502 --> 00:57:00,045
I ran into a man...
1095
00:57:00,087 --> 00:57:03,465
who heard from someone
who knew someone who...
1096
00:57:03,674 --> 00:57:04,842
Anyway...
1097
00:57:04,883 --> 00:57:08,178
it seems Max has some secret
from his past.
1098
00:57:09,346 --> 00:57:11,348
You're talking about my Max?
1099
00:57:11,348 --> 00:57:13,517
- A dark secret.
- What kind of a dark secret?
1100
00:57:13,517 --> 00:57:14,560
Dark!
1101
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,145
What is by you dark?
1102
00:57:16,979 --> 00:57:18,188
I don't know.
1103
00:57:18,230 --> 00:57:22,317
What kind of dark secret?
We've been married for 30 years.
1104
00:57:22,317 --> 00:57:24,027
You're his first wife?
1105
00:57:24,278 --> 00:57:26,155
Sure I'm his first wife.
1106
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,282
Before me, he worked for...
1107
00:57:29,283 --> 00:57:30,492
What?
1108
00:57:30,534 --> 00:57:32,661
You heard something different?
1109
00:57:33,036 --> 00:57:36,206
I heard only a dark secret.
Do I knowwhat?
1110
00:57:36,373 --> 00:57:37,624
Who told you?
1111
00:57:39,084 --> 00:57:40,294
Wolf Fishbein.
1112
00:57:41,503 --> 00:57:42,838
Be careful, Dolly.
1113
00:57:43,589 --> 00:57:45,549
That's all I want to say.
1114
00:57:46,258 --> 00:57:49,511
Dolly tried putting Elsie's words
out of her mind...
1115
00:57:49,511 --> 00:57:52,097
but Max's dark secret
plagued her.
1116
00:57:52,431 --> 00:57:55,559
Then one day she ran into
Wolf Fishbein...
1117
00:57:55,684 --> 00:57:57,686
and the truth was revealed.
1118
00:57:58,270 --> 00:57:59,938
Try to breathe deeply.
1119
00:58:00,981 --> 00:58:02,608
Elsie, you were right.
1120
00:58:03,275 --> 00:58:05,110
Fishbein told me a tale.
1121
00:58:06,278 --> 00:58:09,323
Max, before I met him,
lived in Florida.
1122
00:58:10,282 --> 00:58:12,201
He had a store. Groceries.
1123
00:58:13,702 --> 00:58:14,912
He was married.
1124
00:58:15,871 --> 00:58:17,247
Now it comes out!
1125
00:58:18,290 --> 00:58:19,541
To a woman...
1126
00:58:20,167 --> 00:58:21,502
with two children.
1127
00:58:21,835 --> 00:58:23,545
Max had other children?
1128
00:58:24,004 --> 00:58:25,881
No. The woman's children.
1129
00:58:26,340 --> 00:58:27,925
From a prior marriage.
1130
00:58:31,011 --> 00:58:32,596
He began an affair...
1131
00:58:32,971 --> 00:58:35,807
with the downstairs neighbor,
a widow.
1132
00:58:35,891 --> 00:58:38,477
He probably had all his hair then.
1133
00:58:38,936 --> 00:58:40,979
Meanwhile, he got into debt.
1134
00:58:41,313 --> 00:58:42,689
Deeper and deeper.
1135
00:58:44,233 --> 00:58:46,985
And then carry on
with the neighbor.
1136
00:58:47,152 --> 00:58:48,403
Oy, my heart!
1137
00:58:51,865 --> 00:58:55,077
He can't get himself out
of a predicament.
1138
00:58:55,619 --> 00:58:57,120
So what does he do?
1139
00:58:57,579 --> 00:58:58,872
He stole money.
1140
00:58:59,373 --> 00:59:00,999
I should be so lucky!
1141
00:59:01,458 --> 00:59:02,918
He killed his wife!
1142
00:59:04,378 --> 00:59:05,629
No!
1143
00:59:06,463 --> 00:59:08,298
The man purchased an ax.
1144
00:59:08,632 --> 00:59:09,883
With an ax?
1145
00:59:10,133 --> 00:59:12,803
You know Max.
He's nothing with tools.
1146
00:59:12,803 --> 00:59:15,055
He can't even hang a picture.
1147
00:59:15,347 --> 00:59:16,723
I'm dropping dead!
1148
00:59:16,974 --> 00:59:18,350
Plus her children!
1149
00:59:19,893 --> 00:59:21,270
Plus the neighbor!
1150
00:59:21,895 --> 00:59:23,105
Four.
1151
00:59:23,147 --> 00:59:26,275
Four people he killed
in one night with an ax.
1152
00:59:26,275 --> 00:59:27,526
Your Max?
1153
00:59:28,569 --> 00:59:31,822
- And this is not the capper.
- There's more?
1154
00:59:31,822 --> 00:59:33,031
More!
1155
00:59:34,741 --> 00:59:35,951
What more?
1156
00:59:37,744 --> 00:59:38,996
He ate them.
1157
00:59:39,538 --> 00:59:41,582
What, are you talking crazy?
1158
00:59:42,207 --> 00:59:43,500
He devoured them.
1159
00:59:44,751 --> 00:59:47,880
I can't breathe.
Everything is closing in.
1160
00:59:48,172 --> 00:59:49,506
Whatever you do...
1161
00:59:50,549 --> 00:59:52,259
first hear Max's side.
1162
00:59:53,093 --> 00:59:54,303
Max has a side?
1163
00:59:54,761 --> 00:59:57,556
He kills his family
and eats them up.
1164
00:59:57,556 --> 00:59:59,016
The man has a side?
1165
00:59:59,016 --> 01:00:03,020
He was a good husband and
loving father for 30 years.
1166
01:00:03,103 --> 01:00:05,564
You have a daughter who
went to college.
1167
01:00:05,564 --> 01:00:07,816
You have a son who's awriter.
1168
01:00:08,484 --> 01:00:12,988
Maybe the best course of action
is to let sleeping dogs lie.
1169
01:00:14,031 --> 01:00:16,825
Honey, would you
pass the sour cream?
1170
01:00:21,455 --> 01:00:23,540
You haven't touched a thing.
1171
01:00:25,417 --> 01:00:26,668
Nice weather.
1172
01:00:27,794 --> 01:00:28,921
It's okay.
1173
01:00:28,921 --> 01:00:31,340
It's not just okay.
It's nice.
1174
01:00:32,049 --> 01:00:35,719
All right. What are you getting
so steamed up about?
1175
01:00:35,719 --> 01:00:38,430
What makes you such an
authority on the weather?
1176
01:00:38,430 --> 01:00:39,598
Me?
1177
01:00:39,598 --> 01:00:42,851
- All I said was...
- I know what you said.
1178
01:00:43,227 --> 01:00:44,895
The fish is delicious.
1179
01:00:45,312 --> 01:00:47,523
Wouldn't you rather have meat?
1180
01:00:47,731 --> 01:00:49,608
Since when do I eat meat?
1181
01:00:50,025 --> 01:00:53,654
With my arteries, you gotta
watch the cholesterol.
1182
01:00:54,696 --> 01:00:57,241
- Uh-huh.
- What is the "uh-huh"?
1183
01:00:57,825 --> 01:01:00,160
You've been very touchy lately.
1184
01:01:00,911 --> 01:01:02,663
Don't interrogate me...
1185
01:01:03,038 --> 01:01:04,331
Mr. Max Pinchick!
1186
01:01:11,505 --> 01:01:13,549
Where did you hearthat name?
1187
01:01:13,757 --> 01:01:16,844
Did you kill your first wife
with an ax?
1188
01:01:17,010 --> 01:01:18,345
I got a headache.
1189
01:01:18,971 --> 01:01:22,474
Did you chop her up?
Along with your mistress?
1190
01:01:23,976 --> 01:01:25,227
Okay.
1191
01:01:25,561 --> 01:01:29,398
If I tell you why I did it,
do you promise not to nudge me?
1192
01:01:29,398 --> 01:01:33,026
Wolf Fishbein said,
in orderto hide the bodies...
1193
01:01:33,068 --> 01:01:34,319
you ate them!
1194
01:01:34,736 --> 01:01:37,114
So, what are you making a fuss?
1195
01:01:37,781 --> 01:01:39,491
Some bury,
some burn...
1196
01:01:40,450 --> 01:01:41,743
I ate!
1197
01:01:42,452 --> 01:01:45,164
I remember "Max Pincus's
Dark Secret".
1198
01:01:45,164 --> 01:01:48,500
And you don't see your
sick view of our parents?
1199
01:01:48,500 --> 01:01:50,460
I wrote it when I was young.
1200
01:01:50,460 --> 01:01:53,297
The first of many anti-Semitic
pieces ofwork.
1201
01:01:53,297 --> 01:01:55,424
Direct from the Wailing Wall.
1202
01:01:55,591 --> 01:01:57,301
Disrespectful.
Shameful.
1203
01:01:57,384 --> 01:02:01,221
The Jews haven't suffered enough,
you depict us as cannibals?
1204
01:02:01,221 --> 01:02:04,766
No spiritual center.
He's betting on physics and pussy.
1205
01:02:04,766 --> 01:02:06,351
Excuse the expression.
1206
01:02:06,435 --> 01:02:10,522
He gets cancer, he's straight to
the synagogue in a yarmulke.
1207
01:02:10,522 --> 01:02:13,108
Why should I get cancer?
I eat broccoli.
1208
01:02:13,108 --> 01:02:17,279
You care about the Holocaust?
Or you think it never happened?
1209
01:02:17,279 --> 01:02:19,781
Not only do I know that
we lost 6 million...
1210
01:02:19,781 --> 01:02:23,744
the scary thing is that
records are made to be broken.
1211
01:02:23,744 --> 01:02:25,954
I know what's out there.
Do you?
1212
01:02:25,954 --> 01:02:29,791
He creates offensive Jewish
stereotypes, like in "Der Sturmer".
1213
01:02:29,791 --> 01:02:32,503
Max is a version of Daddy,
who you hated.
1214
01:02:32,503 --> 01:02:35,631
A man you accuse of being
aterrible parent.
1215
01:02:35,631 --> 01:02:37,382
He was aterrible parent.
1216
01:02:38,550 --> 01:02:40,219
Thank you for dropping by.
1217
01:02:40,219 --> 01:02:42,471
Come again in another 4 years.
1218
01:02:42,721 --> 01:02:45,641
Wouldn't it be a better world
if not every group...
1219
01:02:45,641 --> 01:02:47,726
thought they had a direct line
to God.
1220
01:02:47,726 --> 01:02:50,354
He thinks I'm all
Jewish paranoia.
1221
01:02:51,188 --> 01:02:53,941
No. I think you're the
opposite of a paranoid.
1222
01:02:54,024 --> 01:02:57,820
I think you have the delusion
that people like you.
1223
01:03:07,538 --> 01:03:09,414
- What's the matter?
- Son of a bitch!
1224
01:03:09,414 --> 01:03:10,666
What's wrong?
1225
01:03:10,874 --> 01:03:12,626
You sick, sick, sick,...
1226
01:03:12,751 --> 01:03:14,002
fucking bastard!
1227
01:03:14,628 --> 01:03:15,879
What's wrong?
1228
01:03:16,296 --> 01:03:20,884
What's wrong? You've been having
an affair with one of my patients.
1229
01:03:20,884 --> 01:03:22,094
Who?
1230
01:03:22,135 --> 01:03:24,638
You know what
I'm talking about!
1231
01:03:25,055 --> 01:03:26,306
Don't speak!
1232
01:03:26,515 --> 01:03:28,934
She just told me
the whole thing.
1233
01:03:28,934 --> 01:03:30,644
- Who?
- Who? Who! Who!
1234
01:03:31,311 --> 01:03:33,188
Mrs. Pollack. Amy Pollack.
1235
01:03:33,605 --> 01:03:35,357
Can I explain something?
1236
01:03:35,482 --> 01:03:37,818
No. You cannot explain anything!
1237
01:03:38,193 --> 01:03:39,611
Will you calm down?
1238
01:03:39,653 --> 01:03:41,738
Don't tell me to calm down!
1239
01:03:41,947 --> 01:03:43,407
What's wrong with you?
1240
01:03:43,407 --> 01:03:44,658
What is wrong?
1241
01:03:45,075 --> 01:03:47,619
I treat this woman
and she exits.
1242
01:03:47,870 --> 01:03:50,205
You meet her and you fuck her!
1243
01:03:50,789 --> 01:03:53,917
Suppose I told you that
my fucking Amy Pollack...
1244
01:03:53,917 --> 01:03:57,296
was a disguised plea for
more closeness with you?
1245
01:03:57,296 --> 01:03:59,464
I'd say you're a mental case!
1246
01:03:59,464 --> 01:04:03,010
This is like your first wife.
You claimed you loved her.
1247
01:04:03,010 --> 01:04:05,804
All the while, you were
having affairs.
1248
01:04:05,804 --> 01:04:07,931
My first wife. I told you...
1249
01:04:08,765 --> 01:04:11,685
we were in bed one night.
I turned off her...
1250
01:04:11,685 --> 01:04:15,731
because the way the light was,
she looked like Max Schmeling.
1251
01:04:15,731 --> 01:04:17,816
What do you want me to say?
1252
01:04:17,816 --> 01:04:21,361
She was pretty, but I couldn't
get an erection after that.
1253
01:04:21,361 --> 01:04:25,324
Stop this tap-dancing.
This is bullshit, understand me?
1254
01:04:25,324 --> 01:04:28,452
With you it's a different story.
You turned off me!
1255
01:04:28,452 --> 01:04:31,079
That's what happened
since Hilly was born.
1256
01:04:31,079 --> 01:04:33,999
We live platonically,
like brother and sister.
1257
01:04:33,999 --> 01:04:35,959
Don't play "blame the victim"!
1258
01:04:35,959 --> 01:04:37,961
What are you talking about?
1259
01:04:38,045 --> 01:04:40,255
I'm as much a victim as you!
1260
01:04:40,339 --> 01:04:42,508
You think getting a blowjob...
1261
01:04:42,716 --> 01:04:46,720
from a big-bosomed 26 year old
is pleasurable for me.
1262
01:04:46,887 --> 01:04:50,307
You're making me sick!
I can't believe this!
1263
01:04:51,391 --> 01:04:54,520
- You're overreacting.
- I'm not overreacting!
1264
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,648
Are you telling me that
every week for 4 months...
1265
01:04:57,648 --> 01:05:00,108
you've been with her in a hotel?
1266
01:05:00,484 --> 01:05:03,153
That's so crazy.
No, of course not!
1267
01:05:03,904 --> 01:05:05,572
I rented an apartment.
1268
01:05:06,198 --> 01:05:07,950
I'm going to kill you!
1269
01:05:10,786 --> 01:05:13,080
Hello, Doctor.
Sorry I'm late.
1270
01:05:13,497 --> 01:05:14,748
Mr. Farber.
1271
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,251
Take off your coat.
Come in.
1272
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,059
I've been losing sleep at night.
1273
01:05:34,768 --> 01:05:37,146
I can't shut my eyes at night.
1274
01:05:37,896 --> 01:05:42,568
I think I should quit my job,
but I can't bring myselfto do it.
1275
01:05:42,568 --> 01:05:46,029
Maybe because my brother-in-law
treats me kindly.
1276
01:05:46,029 --> 01:05:50,409
But working for him is taking
it's toll on me emotionally.
1277
01:05:50,409 --> 01:05:51,910
Could you excuse me?
1278
01:05:52,286 --> 01:05:53,537
What?
1279
01:05:57,291 --> 01:05:58,750
You fucked-up fuck!
1280
01:05:59,710 --> 01:06:03,130
I can't believe you did this.
You fucking asshole!
1281
01:06:03,130 --> 01:06:07,384
You fucked my patient!
You don't fuck somebody's patient.
1282
01:06:07,384 --> 01:06:08,677
Fuck you!
1283
01:06:18,562 --> 01:06:20,105
Continue, Mr. Farber.
1284
01:06:25,152 --> 01:06:28,447
Lost your thread? You were talking
about quitting yourjob.
1285
01:06:28,447 --> 01:06:29,698
Right.
1286
01:06:32,993 --> 01:06:35,078
I discussed it with my wife.
1287
01:06:35,746 --> 01:06:38,290
While she seems to be supportive...
1288
01:06:38,290 --> 01:06:40,584
I know she'd rather I stay on.
1289
01:06:40,584 --> 01:06:42,002
She idolizes Gordon.
1290
01:06:42,836 --> 01:06:46,131
All she does is spend time
with him anyway.
1291
01:06:47,758 --> 01:06:50,636
Excuse me one more second,
Mr. Farber.
1292
01:06:50,886 --> 01:06:52,012
Again?
1293
01:06:52,012 --> 01:06:55,766
Continue. I can hear you
from the hallway. Loudly.
1294
01:06:56,725 --> 01:06:58,519
I want you to get out of here.
1295
01:06:58,519 --> 01:07:00,979
Get all of your
goddamn stuff together...
1296
01:07:00,979 --> 01:07:02,564
and get out of here.
1297
01:07:02,981 --> 01:07:07,069
I cannot understand why
the most sophisticated of women...
1298
01:07:07,069 --> 01:07:09,029
can't tell the difference between...
1299
01:07:09,029 --> 01:07:11,949
a meaningless, hot, passionate
sexual affair...
1300
01:07:11,949 --> 01:07:15,202
and a nice, solid, tranquil,
routine marriage.
1301
01:07:15,202 --> 01:07:18,622
Tell me, was she the only one,
orwere there others?
1302
01:07:18,622 --> 01:07:22,292
Amy Pollack was the only one.
May God strike me dead if I lie.
1303
01:07:22,292 --> 01:07:24,169
You're an atheist, Harry!
1304
01:07:24,878 --> 01:07:29,132
We're alone in the universe.
Gonna blame that on me too?
1305
01:07:29,174 --> 01:07:30,968
You turned off me first.
1306
01:07:31,552 --> 01:07:32,803
Oh, please!
1307
01:07:33,929 --> 01:07:37,099
No. I gave birth.
When women give birth...
1308
01:07:37,182 --> 01:07:40,644
there's a period when
their hormones go crazy.
1309
01:07:41,270 --> 01:07:42,521
But they settle.
1310
01:07:43,105 --> 01:07:46,775
So, if you're telling me
you're settling, I accept that.
1311
01:07:46,775 --> 01:07:48,026
You accept that!
1312
01:07:48,443 --> 01:07:50,237
You are so fucking nuts!
1313
01:07:51,029 --> 01:07:52,281
Take it easy!
1314
01:07:52,739 --> 01:07:55,534
If you're not happy
in a marriage...
1315
01:07:55,742 --> 01:07:56,994
you don't cheat.
1316
01:07:57,494 --> 01:07:59,037
And with my patient!
1317
01:07:59,496 --> 01:08:02,166
That is a sacred trust!
My patient!
1318
01:08:02,207 --> 01:08:04,168
What do you want?
Who else do I meet?
1319
01:08:04,168 --> 01:08:07,838
I'm working here. We have the baby.
You're always practising.
1320
01:08:07,838 --> 01:08:09,214
We never socialize.
1321
01:08:09,923 --> 01:08:11,675
So now you're blaming me...
1322
01:08:11,675 --> 01:08:14,219
because we don't go out
enough places where you can...
1323
01:08:14,219 --> 01:08:15,929
meet strangers to fuck!
1324
01:08:20,851 --> 01:08:22,728
I was merely explaining...
1325
01:08:23,270 --> 01:08:25,522
why my choice, of necessity,...
1326
01:08:25,772 --> 01:08:27,900
is confined to your practice.
1327
01:08:29,526 --> 01:08:32,863
I knew you were mentally ill
before we were married...
1328
01:08:32,863 --> 01:08:37,117
but I thought, as atrained
professional, I could help you.
1329
01:08:39,453 --> 01:08:43,499
Now, please don't get down
on yourself as a therapist.
1330
01:08:45,501 --> 01:08:48,545
Get your shit and your
goddamn clothes...
1331
01:08:49,338 --> 01:08:51,590
and get the fuck out of here!
1332
01:08:51,632 --> 01:08:54,343
You are the most
irresponsible person...
1333
01:08:54,343 --> 01:08:56,428
I've seen in my entire life!
1334
01:08:56,428 --> 01:08:57,679
Get out!
1335
01:09:01,433 --> 01:09:02,976
Continue, Mr. Farber.
1336
01:09:04,770 --> 01:09:06,021
Doctor!
1337
01:09:06,146 --> 01:09:08,565
And I mean tonight,
motherfucker!
1338
01:09:16,990 --> 01:09:18,242
Dad! My Pepsi!
1339
01:09:26,458 --> 01:09:30,712
So you got even with your
exwife and sister and I was born.
1340
01:09:30,712 --> 01:09:31,922
What do you mean?
1341
01:09:31,964 --> 01:09:34,716
From your pen. From your
fertile imagination.
1342
01:09:34,716 --> 01:09:36,468
And I mean, imagination.
1343
01:09:36,468 --> 01:09:38,470
I wasn't getting even with Joan.
1344
01:09:38,470 --> 01:09:41,348
You created me as the
shrewish, Jewish hybrid...
1345
01:09:41,348 --> 01:09:43,142
who goes off with a patient.
1346
01:09:43,142 --> 01:09:45,769
An Orthodox divorcee
from Tel Aviv.
1347
01:09:46,145 --> 01:09:49,815
She shouldn't have married Burt.
He's turned her into a zealot.
1348
01:09:49,815 --> 01:09:53,360
She loves you. It's not her fault
your father persecuted you.
1349
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:55,779
She was fine until
she wound up...
1350
01:09:55,779 --> 01:09:57,698
with this right-wing hawk.
1351
01:09:58,365 --> 01:10:01,702
So she disappointed you
in her choice of husbands?
1352
01:10:01,702 --> 01:10:03,579
Fuck you! She loves Burt.
1353
01:10:03,662 --> 01:10:06,498
She was a great kid.
She had a flair for physics.
1354
01:10:06,498 --> 01:10:08,083
Suddenly, she's kosher.
1355
01:10:08,083 --> 01:10:09,626
She loves you still...
1356
01:10:09,626 --> 01:10:12,421
despite your condescension
towards her life.
1357
01:10:12,462 --> 01:10:13,630
Does she love me?
1358
01:10:13,672 --> 01:10:16,425
Want to hearwhat
she says about you?
1359
01:10:16,425 --> 01:10:19,636
He's not so bad.
He was a very good brother.
1360
01:10:19,636 --> 01:10:22,556
But Father never forgave him
when his wife died.
1361
01:10:22,556 --> 01:10:25,601
The man is not aJewish man,
that's all!
1362
01:10:25,601 --> 01:10:26,810
All right!
1363
01:10:26,935 --> 01:10:29,229
Poor Harry, he was always lost.
1364
01:10:29,646 --> 01:10:33,775
He never accepted there are
some things you can't know.
1365
01:10:33,817 --> 01:10:36,904
The man is incapable
of an act of faith.
1366
01:10:37,029 --> 01:10:38,572
Forthat, I pity him.
1367
01:10:39,114 --> 01:10:41,950
I'd like to hug him,
like when we were kids.
1368
01:10:41,950 --> 01:10:45,370
If I was upset, he was
a real comfort to me.
1369
01:10:45,412 --> 01:10:46,830
What happens to us?
1370
01:10:47,706 --> 01:10:49,166
She can't hear you.
1371
01:10:51,126 --> 01:10:52,503
And as for Joan...
1372
01:10:53,128 --> 01:10:54,338
Joan hates me.
1373
01:10:55,088 --> 01:10:56,340
Shouldn't she?
1374
01:10:56,798 --> 01:10:58,967
Why? Because I was unfaithful?
1375
01:10:59,468 --> 01:11:03,013
No, because when she caught you,
you weren't a man.
1376
01:11:03,013 --> 01:11:05,682
You turned into this
double-talking,
1377
01:11:05,724 --> 01:11:08,060
wise-cracking, tap-dancing liar.
1378
01:11:08,227 --> 01:11:11,980
If she hadn't been so enraged,
we might have patched things up.
1379
01:11:11,980 --> 01:11:13,941
Listen to him delude himself!
1380
01:11:13,941 --> 01:11:16,360
Maybe it had tapered a bit
after Hilly was born...
1381
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:18,445
but you had sex pretty regularly.
1382
01:11:18,445 --> 01:11:20,948
I've no idea why I
took up with her patient.
1383
01:11:20,948 --> 01:11:23,200
She was available and adorable.
1384
01:11:23,450 --> 01:11:25,452
My marriage was droning on.
1385
01:11:25,744 --> 01:11:28,455
What you call "droning on",
most people would call "working".
1386
01:11:28,455 --> 01:11:30,833
If that's "working",
marriage isn't for me.
1387
01:11:30,874 --> 01:11:32,376
It's not for everyone.
1388
01:11:32,376 --> 01:11:34,086
But then I get lonely.
1389
01:11:34,837 --> 01:11:36,797
What do you want me to say?
1390
01:11:36,797 --> 01:11:40,342
She gave me Hilly and for that
I'm eternally grateful...
1391
01:11:40,342 --> 01:11:42,344
'cause I love him so much.
1392
01:11:42,511 --> 01:11:44,388
You can have any one you want.
1393
01:11:44,388 --> 01:11:45,556
Can I get two?
1394
01:11:45,556 --> 01:11:48,183
Tell you what,
you can get three presents.
1395
01:11:48,183 --> 01:11:51,395
Pick any three presents you want.
Satisfied?
1396
01:11:52,020 --> 01:11:53,397
Look what I found.
1397
01:11:54,106 --> 01:11:55,357
Isn't that cool?
1398
01:11:55,566 --> 01:11:59,611
This is the chemistry set
you always wanted. It's perfect.
1399
01:11:59,611 --> 01:12:02,698
Don't open it yet.
Let me buy it first.
1400
01:12:07,661 --> 01:12:09,955
Larry! What are you doing here?
1401
01:12:10,164 --> 01:12:12,249
Buying my nephew
a Power Ranger.
1402
01:12:12,249 --> 01:12:15,878
- When did you get back?
- A couple of days ago.
1403
01:12:18,422 --> 01:12:20,799
This is Larry.
I told you about Larry.
1404
01:12:20,799 --> 01:12:23,552
He's an old friend,
colleague, peer.
1405
01:12:23,719 --> 01:12:26,221
- So you got back, when?
- Two days ago.
1406
01:12:26,221 --> 01:12:28,724
I took a boat trip
down the Amazon.
1407
01:12:28,724 --> 01:12:30,517
- Sounds exciting.
- Unbelievable.
1408
01:12:30,517 --> 01:12:32,269
If you don't mind malaria.
1409
01:12:32,269 --> 01:12:36,106
Butterflies the size of doves.
Never seen anything like it.
1410
01:12:36,106 --> 01:12:37,941
I can live without that.
1411
01:12:38,525 --> 01:12:39,860
It was astounding.
1412
01:12:40,486 --> 01:12:41,737
Sounds it.
1413
01:12:41,778 --> 01:12:43,739
So you got back two days ago?
1414
01:12:43,739 --> 01:12:45,491
We go back a long way.
1415
01:12:45,491 --> 01:12:47,534
We both wanted to be Kafka.
1416
01:12:48,243 --> 01:12:50,913
You got slightly closer
than I did.
1417
01:12:50,954 --> 01:12:52,831
Yeah. I became the insect.
1418
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:55,334
I'm very excited.
I'm amazed.
1419
01:12:56,543 --> 01:12:57,878
We should go out.
1420
01:12:58,128 --> 01:13:01,757
Why not come to my house
in East Hampton for a weekend?
1421
01:13:01,757 --> 01:13:03,634
Let's not get hysterical.
1422
01:13:04,510 --> 01:13:07,513
- I'd love to. It'd be fun.
- It's beautiful.
1423
01:13:07,513 --> 01:13:09,973
It's sand in the crotch, ticks...
1424
01:13:10,015 --> 01:13:12,184
You get this guy
to leave his room.
1425
01:13:12,184 --> 01:13:13,685
He's never had atan.
1426
01:13:13,685 --> 01:13:16,230
I've always wanted
to learn how to snorkel.
1427
01:13:16,313 --> 01:13:19,399
Snorkel! Where he lives,
there are sharks.
1428
01:13:20,317 --> 01:13:23,904
You see photos of guys
with stumps for legs and arms.
1429
01:13:23,904 --> 01:13:26,490
- Am I lying?
- Yes. It's fabulous there.
1430
01:13:26,490 --> 01:13:27,950
I'll take you to dinner.
1431
01:13:27,950 --> 01:13:30,035
No! We'll take you to dinner.
1432
01:13:30,035 --> 01:13:32,371
I'll tell you about the Amazon.
1433
01:13:32,663 --> 01:13:35,040
I'd love to hear it.
Sounds amazing.
1434
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,876
I'm writing a novel.
I'll tell you about it.
1435
01:13:37,876 --> 01:13:40,671
I'm not into the Amazon.
Know what the Amazon is?
1436
01:13:40,671 --> 01:13:43,757
Tiny little heads with
lips sewn together.
1437
01:13:44,007 --> 01:13:46,176
Can you picture him this way?
1438
01:13:47,761 --> 01:13:50,264
We'll take you to dinner tonight.
1439
01:13:50,681 --> 01:13:54,351
I'm single, available,
with the soul of a black man!
1440
01:13:54,351 --> 01:13:57,020
I smell sulfur.
Do you smell sulfur?
1441
01:13:57,354 --> 01:14:00,232
Hilly, did you open
the chemistry set?
1442
01:14:00,691 --> 01:14:02,651
Look!
We're almost there.
1443
01:14:03,610 --> 01:14:04,862
Hilly, wake up.
1444
01:14:05,070 --> 01:14:08,073
Wake up. We're almost
at the university.
1445
01:14:08,198 --> 01:14:11,451
Dad's being honored.
Limited as my curriculum was.
1446
01:14:11,451 --> 01:14:14,788
- Richard, we're there. 5 minutes.
- Wake up.
1447
01:14:16,123 --> 01:14:17,457
Something's wrong.
1448
01:14:17,583 --> 01:14:18,792
What's the matter?
1449
01:14:18,834 --> 01:14:21,003
I don't think he's breathing!
1450
01:14:21,003 --> 01:14:22,254
He's dead!
1451
01:14:22,379 --> 01:14:23,630
What?
1452
01:14:23,630 --> 01:14:27,718
I was at the doctor's with him.
They said his heart was fine.
1453
01:14:27,718 --> 01:14:28,969
I'm scared.
1454
01:14:29,261 --> 01:14:30,846
Don't be scared, Hilly.
1455
01:14:30,846 --> 01:14:32,097
I'm fine, Dad.
1456
01:14:32,264 --> 01:14:36,143
Death is a natural part of life.
You have to embrace them both.
1457
01:14:36,143 --> 01:14:37,603
What are we gonna do?
1458
01:14:37,603 --> 01:14:40,105
I don't know.
Get back in the car.
1459
01:14:40,105 --> 01:14:42,691
I don't want to
sit next to him.
1460
01:14:46,653 --> 01:14:50,407
Welcome to Adair University.
I'm Professor Higgins.
1461
01:14:50,449 --> 01:14:54,203
We certainly hope you had
a very pleasant trip here.
1462
01:14:54,203 --> 01:14:56,163
Would you like some refreshments?
1463
01:14:56,163 --> 01:14:57,414
Is he all right?
1464
01:14:57,915 --> 01:15:01,293
He's dead. You got one of
them rubber bags?
1465
01:15:01,376 --> 01:15:04,171
We've made arrangements
forthe body...
1466
01:15:04,421 --> 01:15:06,882
to be delivered to New York City.
1467
01:15:08,383 --> 01:15:11,595
I don't think he has
any immediate family.
1468
01:15:13,055 --> 01:15:14,306
If you prefer,...
1469
01:15:14,515 --> 01:15:16,892
we can call off the proceedings.
1470
01:15:17,851 --> 01:15:19,853
- I think that's the best idea.
- No!
1471
01:15:19,853 --> 01:15:21,063
I do.
1472
01:15:21,605 --> 01:15:25,067
He'll be all right.
He's here for a purpose.
1473
01:15:29,947 --> 01:15:31,198
I'll see that...
1474
01:15:34,409 --> 01:15:36,078
the funeral comes off.
1475
01:15:36,954 --> 01:15:39,122
I'll see that he's buried...
1476
01:15:39,331 --> 01:15:40,582
properly.
1477
01:15:40,624 --> 01:15:41,834
I understand.
1478
01:15:44,962 --> 01:15:46,213
Poor Richard!
1479
01:15:47,673 --> 01:15:48,924
The poor guy!
1480
01:15:52,177 --> 01:15:54,471
I'm not gonna make it.
I can't go on.
1481
01:15:54,471 --> 01:15:56,849
Not if you keep drinking
and popping those pills.
1482
01:15:56,849 --> 01:15:58,433
I can't believe this.
1483
01:15:58,433 --> 01:16:02,062
My school honors me. I turn up
with a hooker and a dead body.
1484
01:16:02,062 --> 01:16:06,108
Take it easy. You're getting
all wound up about nothing.
1485
01:16:06,108 --> 01:16:07,276
Look at me.
1486
01:16:07,276 --> 01:16:09,069
Look! I'm out of focus!
1487
01:16:09,570 --> 01:16:12,281
You look a little pale,
but you're all right.
1488
01:16:12,281 --> 01:16:14,241
I'm out of focus. I'm soft!
1489
01:16:14,241 --> 01:16:17,161
Calm down. They'll be here
any minute.
1490
01:16:17,369 --> 01:16:20,956
It's humiliating. They're gonna
honor me and I'm a blob.
1491
01:16:20,956 --> 01:16:22,166
You look fine.
1492
01:16:22,833 --> 01:16:25,419
I'll be sitting
on the dais there, eating.
1493
01:16:25,419 --> 01:16:27,296
They'll get seasick
and throw up.
1494
01:16:27,296 --> 01:16:29,256
Hold my hand.
Now, relax.
1495
01:16:29,590 --> 01:16:32,301
You wanted your son
to see you get honored...
1496
01:16:32,301 --> 01:16:34,595
and now you're acting
like a jackass.
1497
01:16:34,595 --> 01:16:37,431
But don't you see?
I'm a huge blur.
1498
01:16:37,514 --> 01:16:39,683
You're gonna be all right.
I'll talk you down.
1499
01:16:39,683 --> 01:16:43,645
I've seen all kinds of guys O.D.
Heroin, acid, crack.
1500
01:16:43,645 --> 01:16:46,398
I didn't take any ofthat.
I have nothing.
1501
01:16:46,398 --> 01:16:48,025
But you're a pill popper.
1502
01:16:48,025 --> 01:16:49,693
That's not what it is.
1503
01:16:49,693 --> 01:16:51,987
It's me. I'm OD'ing on myself.
1504
01:16:51,987 --> 01:16:53,989
- I'm a shit.
- Have some coffee.
1505
01:16:53,989 --> 01:16:56,241
I don't want any coffee.
I'm a shit.
1506
01:16:56,325 --> 01:16:57,826
Talk to me about something.
1507
01:16:57,826 --> 01:16:59,077
You like sports?
1508
01:16:59,286 --> 01:17:01,622
Sports? Yeah.
I was a pitcher.
1509
01:17:01,622 --> 01:17:04,625
When the guy crowded the plate,
I'd throw at his head.
1510
01:17:04,625 --> 01:17:06,376
I'm the worst person
in the world.
1511
01:17:06,376 --> 01:17:09,838
- Honey, I've seen worse.
- Who's worse than me?
1512
01:17:09,838 --> 01:17:11,089
Hitler!
1513
01:17:11,715 --> 01:17:15,469
Maybe Hitler, Goering
and Goebbels, but I'm fourth.
1514
01:17:15,469 --> 01:17:17,179
Come on. Hold my hand.
1515
01:17:17,554 --> 01:17:20,349
- Can you feel my hand?
- Yes, it's warm.
1516
01:17:20,349 --> 01:17:23,268
See? It's just panic.
You're not a blob.
1517
01:17:23,268 --> 01:17:25,395
I'm going to get over this.
1518
01:17:25,687 --> 01:17:27,648
I'm having a panic attack.
1519
01:17:27,773 --> 01:17:29,566
What sports do you like?
1520
01:17:30,192 --> 01:17:33,821
I like them all. I like baseball,
I like basketball.
1521
01:17:33,821 --> 01:17:37,950
I was married to a woman
who looked like Max Schmeling.
1522
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:39,701
No, I'm not joking.
1523
01:17:40,786 --> 01:17:42,454
All right. It's time.
1524
01:17:42,579 --> 01:17:45,707
I can't get through this
without you. I mean it.
1525
01:17:45,707 --> 01:17:47,334
Don't worry about it.
1526
01:17:47,376 --> 01:17:50,254
- If you didn't come with me...
- Don't worry. Come on.
1527
01:17:50,254 --> 01:17:51,547
Straighten up.
1528
01:17:52,256 --> 01:17:54,591
I gotta get atie.
I gotta get my tie.
1529
01:17:54,591 --> 01:17:56,135
All right. Let's go.
1530
01:18:00,389 --> 01:18:03,600
Are you ready to be
immortalized by Adair?
1531
01:18:03,767 --> 01:18:07,187
We all know your work and characters.
Even the obscure ones.
1532
01:18:07,187 --> 01:18:09,523
Good reading is
a creative act.
1533
01:18:13,652 --> 01:18:15,195
Are you working on anything...
1534
01:18:15,237 --> 01:18:17,614
something we can
sink our teeth into?
1535
01:18:17,614 --> 01:18:19,700
I'm in the midst of writing...
1536
01:18:19,700 --> 01:18:23,662
a thing on the Devil
who kidnaps a man's true love...
1537
01:18:23,662 --> 01:18:25,831
and takes her down to Hell...
1538
01:18:26,373 --> 01:18:28,041
and he goes to retrieve her.
1539
01:18:28,041 --> 01:18:30,043
Since it's Hell, I'm able to...
1540
01:18:30,043 --> 01:18:31,962
settle lots of old scores.
1541
01:18:32,713 --> 01:18:34,298
What's the man like?
1542
01:18:34,590 --> 01:18:36,550
It's me, thinly disguised.
1543
01:18:37,551 --> 01:18:41,472
In fact, I don't think I should
disguise it anymore.
1544
01:18:41,805 --> 01:18:43,056
It's me.
1545
01:18:44,516 --> 01:18:45,767
Floor five...
1546
01:18:45,976 --> 01:18:49,313
muggers, aggressive panhandlers
and bookcritics.
1547
01:18:50,314 --> 01:18:51,565
Floor six...
1548
01:18:51,607 --> 01:18:55,652
right wing extremists, killers,
lawyers who appearon TV.
1549
01:18:56,612 --> 01:18:57,863
Floor seven...
1550
01:18:57,905 --> 01:18:59,114
the media.
1551
01:18:59,323 --> 01:19:01,742
Sorry, that floor is
all filled up.
1552
01:19:01,742 --> 01:19:02,951
Floor eight...
1553
01:19:02,993 --> 01:19:06,663
escaped war criminals,
TV evangelists and the NRA.
1554
01:19:07,039 --> 01:19:08,290
Lowest level...
1555
01:19:08,499 --> 01:19:09,750
everybody off.
1556
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:42,533
What did you do?
1557
01:19:42,825 --> 01:19:44,743
I invented aluminum siding.
1558
01:20:02,094 --> 01:20:03,137
Dad!
1559
01:20:03,137 --> 01:20:05,305
Get me out. This is terrible.
1560
01:20:05,305 --> 01:20:07,391
You know how I hate
hot weather.
1561
01:20:07,391 --> 01:20:08,976
What is he doing here?
1562
01:20:08,976 --> 01:20:11,270
He's condemned to
eternal suffering.
1563
01:20:11,270 --> 01:20:12,479
Help me!
1564
01:20:12,521 --> 01:20:15,858
I don't understand.
I demand to know the charges.
1565
01:20:15,858 --> 01:20:18,569
"Behaved unconscionably
toward his son.
1566
01:20:18,569 --> 01:20:22,322
Said the boy committed a
capital crime by being born. "
1567
01:20:22,322 --> 01:20:24,533
Your wife, they told me,
is dead.
1568
01:20:24,533 --> 01:20:26,618
But your son, he's thriving.
1569
01:20:27,077 --> 01:20:29,663
Why did he fight
not to be born?
1570
01:20:30,956 --> 01:20:32,499
Look, I forgive him.
1571
01:20:33,709 --> 01:20:35,294
What's over is over.
1572
01:20:36,170 --> 01:20:39,548
It's finished. Let him
go to heaven, please.
1573
01:20:39,631 --> 01:20:42,634
I'm a Jew! We don't
believe in heaven.
1574
01:20:42,968 --> 01:20:46,180
- Where do you want to go?
- To a Chinese restaurant.
1575
01:20:46,180 --> 01:20:50,100
Take him to Joy Luck.
I love him despite everything.
1576
01:21:11,330 --> 01:21:12,789
Looking for someone?
1577
01:21:14,958 --> 01:21:16,585
I'm here to get Fay.
1578
01:21:16,835 --> 01:21:18,712
She's not coming with you.
1579
01:21:18,712 --> 01:21:22,007
Because you're the head
of the underworld...
1580
01:21:22,174 --> 01:21:25,219
you can abduct her
and get away with it?
1581
01:21:25,219 --> 01:21:26,970
I'm going to kidnap her back.
1582
01:21:26,970 --> 01:21:30,182
- What are you laughing at?
- You match your powers against mine?
1583
01:21:30,182 --> 01:21:32,810
- You want to knowwhy?
- Yeah, I do.
1584
01:21:32,810 --> 01:21:35,437
I'm sorry. Forgive me
for laughing.
1585
01:21:35,437 --> 01:21:36,688
Why?
1586
01:21:38,565 --> 01:21:41,360
I'm more powerful because
I'm a bigger sinner.
1587
01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:43,737
Because you're a fallen angel...
1588
01:21:44,279 --> 01:21:48,033
and I never believed in
God or Heaven of any of it.
1589
01:21:48,033 --> 01:21:51,745
I'm strictly quarks
and particles and black holes.
1590
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:54,790
All the other stuff
is junk to me.
1591
01:21:54,915 --> 01:21:57,000
And also I do terrible things.
1592
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:00,546
I've cheated on all my wives
and none ofthem deserved it.
1593
01:22:00,546 --> 01:22:02,089
I sleep with whores.
1594
01:22:02,506 --> 01:22:05,050
I drink too much and
I take pills...
1595
01:22:05,050 --> 01:22:08,011
and I lie and I'm
vain and cowardly...
1596
01:22:08,387 --> 01:22:10,347
and I'm prone to violence.
1597
01:22:11,181 --> 01:22:14,017
I once almost ran over
a book critic.
1598
01:22:14,810 --> 01:22:16,603
But I swerved at the last second.
1599
01:22:16,603 --> 01:22:18,772
You ever had two women at once?
1600
01:22:18,772 --> 01:22:21,608
Yes, I did. And I'll tell you
something else.
1601
01:22:21,608 --> 01:22:24,945
I didn't care it was exploitive.
And something else...
1602
01:22:24,945 --> 01:22:27,030
- They were sisters.
- Really?
1603
01:22:27,030 --> 01:22:29,741
Yes! They were two
blond WASP sisters.
1604
01:22:29,741 --> 01:22:33,370
- Not the Sherman twins?
- Yes, the Sherman twins!
1605
01:22:33,912 --> 01:22:35,122
They're here.
1606
01:22:35,164 --> 01:22:37,124
The Sherman twins are here?
1607
01:22:37,124 --> 01:22:39,668
Unbelievable!
Do you know Sandra Pepkin?
1608
01:22:39,668 --> 01:22:43,297
Do I know Sandra Pepkin? Only the
best blowjob in the Hadassah.
1609
01:22:43,297 --> 01:22:45,382
So, if you know
Sandra Pepkin...
1610
01:22:45,382 --> 01:22:48,594
I fucked her best friend,
the cripple. Pearl.
1611
01:22:48,594 --> 01:22:50,804
- Pearl in the wheelchair?
- Exactly.
1612
01:22:50,804 --> 01:22:53,390
Speaking of handicaps,
do you know Marie Taylor?
1613
01:22:53,390 --> 01:22:57,186
Yes, but her I don't count.
Marie Taylor is dyslexic.
1614
01:22:57,186 --> 01:22:59,354
She put her Tampax
in her nose.
1615
01:22:59,354 --> 01:23:03,066
- Ever fuck a blind girl?
- No, that I never did.
1616
01:23:03,108 --> 01:23:04,902
Oh, they're so grateful.
1617
01:23:05,319 --> 01:23:07,571
- Would you like a drink?
- You're terrible.
1618
01:23:07,571 --> 01:23:09,490
Could I get some tequila?
1619
01:23:09,990 --> 01:23:12,784
I've got great tequila.
Make yourself at home.
1620
01:23:12,784 --> 01:23:14,495
Want the air conditioner on?
1621
01:23:14,495 --> 01:23:17,915
- You're air-conditioned here?
- Sure. Fucks up the ozone layer.
1622
01:23:17,915 --> 01:23:20,375
I could be very comfortable here.
1623
01:23:20,417 --> 01:23:23,337
I'll tell you something:
I love it here.
1624
01:23:23,337 --> 01:23:25,297
I wouldn't be any place else.
1625
01:23:25,297 --> 01:23:26,965
- There you go.
- Thank you.
1626
01:23:26,965 --> 01:23:31,261
I've had job offers in your world,
but why be an employee?
1627
01:23:31,261 --> 01:23:33,222
Here, I'm my own boss.
I'm free.
1628
01:23:33,222 --> 01:23:34,723
What jobs did they offer?
1629
01:23:34,723 --> 01:23:37,184
For two years I ran
a Hollywood studio...
1630
01:23:37,184 --> 01:23:39,186
but you can't trust those people.
1631
01:23:39,186 --> 01:23:41,688
I agree. Better to rule
down here...
1632
01:23:41,688 --> 01:23:44,399
than to serve in heaven.
That's Milton.
1633
01:23:44,399 --> 01:23:47,152
To evil!
It keeps everything humming.
1634
01:23:47,861 --> 01:23:49,404
So you kidnapped Fay?
1635
01:23:49,780 --> 01:23:50,864
Yes, I did.
1636
01:23:50,864 --> 01:23:53,992
Some women are turned on
by aggressive behavior.
1637
01:23:53,992 --> 01:23:56,119
So, if I kidnapped her back?
1638
01:23:56,495 --> 01:23:57,621
You, kidnap?
1639
01:23:57,621 --> 01:24:00,040
Not your style.
You're not a fun guy.
1640
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,918
You're too serious.
Too angry at life.
1641
01:24:03,168 --> 01:24:04,837
I got a lot to be angry at.
1642
01:24:04,837 --> 01:24:05,879
Who doesn't?
1643
01:24:05,879 --> 01:24:08,590
But sooner or later,
you gotta back off.
1644
01:24:08,590 --> 01:24:11,718
It's like Vegas.
You're up, you're down.
1645
01:24:11,718 --> 01:24:14,429
But in the end,
the house always wins.
1646
01:24:14,429 --> 01:24:16,640
Doesn't mean you
didn't have fun.
1647
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,643
No, one thing you're not
is a kidnapper.
1648
01:24:19,643 --> 01:24:20,894
Kidnapper!
1649
01:24:21,645 --> 01:24:22,896
Listen to me!
1650
01:24:23,188 --> 01:24:27,234
Out of my way! Can't you see
you're with a kidnapper!
1651
01:24:27,234 --> 01:24:30,154
You're going to have to
come with me.
1652
01:24:31,029 --> 01:24:33,240
You're under arrest, Mr. Block
1653
01:24:33,574 --> 01:24:35,701
I gotta put the cuffs on you.
1654
01:24:35,701 --> 01:24:40,122
- He's about to be honored.
- How can I kidnap my own son?
1655
01:24:40,747 --> 01:24:41,957
We got drugs!
1656
01:24:42,791 --> 01:24:45,043
Let me go, bitch!
Let me go!
1657
01:24:45,836 --> 01:24:49,089
- Get them in the car.
- Get off me, bitch!
1658
01:24:51,258 --> 01:24:53,510
Can't I be honored,
then arrested?
1659
01:24:53,510 --> 01:24:55,387
We can't do that. Sorry.
1660
01:24:56,763 --> 01:24:58,056
Kidnapping.
1661
01:24:58,432 --> 01:25:02,060
Prostitute in your car
in possession of marijuana.
1662
01:25:02,060 --> 01:25:04,688
Possession of an
unlicensed firearm.
1663
01:25:04,980 --> 01:25:09,151
I told you about the firearm.
A crazy woman shot at me.
1664
01:25:09,276 --> 01:25:12,946
I got it away from her.
I was gonna hand it in.
1665
01:25:13,113 --> 01:25:15,949
- I gotta make a phone call.
- You made your call.
1666
01:25:15,949 --> 01:25:19,620
Doesn't count. It was to my
girlfriend's answering service.
1667
01:25:19,620 --> 01:25:22,831
- To stop her marrying.
- You also called your sister.
1668
01:25:22,831 --> 01:25:24,374
My sister wasn't in.
1669
01:25:24,833 --> 01:25:26,168
You called your lawyer.
1670
01:25:26,168 --> 01:25:29,505
He was at Canyon Ranch.
I can never get my lawyer!
1671
01:25:29,505 --> 01:25:31,548
Can I give you some advice?
1672
01:25:31,715 --> 01:25:33,258
You're in deep shit.
1673
01:25:42,017 --> 01:25:45,062
This time I think
you've really had it.
1674
01:25:47,356 --> 01:25:50,776
- It was your ideato kidnap Hilly.
- It wasn't my idea.
1675
01:25:50,776 --> 01:25:54,363
I made a joke. You don't act
on every impulse.
1676
01:25:54,613 --> 01:25:58,200
You gotta tell me the truth.
Is it better being dead?
1677
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:01,161
No, it's not really.
But there's one good thing.
1678
01:26:01,161 --> 01:26:04,957
You don't get jury duty.
But you have no options.
1679
01:26:04,998 --> 01:26:06,333
It's not for you.
1680
01:26:07,125 --> 01:26:08,752
I'm no good at life.
1681
01:26:08,919 --> 01:26:10,587
No, but you write well.
1682
01:26:10,587 --> 01:26:14,341
That's different. I can manipulate
characters and plots.
1683
01:26:14,341 --> 01:26:18,720
You create your own universe,
nicer than the world we have.
1684
01:26:18,762 --> 01:26:22,349
I can't function in this world.
I'm a failure at life.
1685
01:26:22,349 --> 01:26:26,436
I don't know. I think you bring
pleasure to a lot of people.
1686
01:26:26,436 --> 01:26:28,397
But even that's drying up.
1687
01:26:28,605 --> 01:26:30,149
Forthe last months...
1688
01:26:30,399 --> 01:26:34,278
I've been unable to come up
with a meaningful idea.
1689
01:26:34,987 --> 01:26:37,197
Make peace with your demons...
1690
01:26:37,906 --> 01:26:39,783
and your block will pass.
1691
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:41,743
It sounds so trite...
1692
01:26:42,286 --> 01:26:44,454
but I just want to be happy.
1693
01:26:44,872 --> 01:26:48,333
To be alive is to be happy.
Take it from me.
1694
01:26:51,253 --> 01:26:52,504
Block? Come on.
1695
01:26:55,632 --> 01:26:57,801
Some people put up your bail.
1696
01:26:57,926 --> 01:26:59,052
My bail?
1697
01:26:59,052 --> 01:27:00,804
That's right. This way.
1698
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:02,639
You?
1699
01:27:02,639 --> 01:27:06,894
- We got the phone message.
- Came right from our wedding.
1700
01:27:06,977 --> 01:27:10,022
- You did?
- We're on our way to our honeymoon.
1701
01:27:10,022 --> 01:27:12,816
- You got married?
- You have to ask?
1702
01:27:12,858 --> 01:27:16,945
I can't believe it! In the end
you chose him over me!
1703
01:27:17,029 --> 01:27:19,198
- I can't fathom this!
- You'd insult me...
1704
01:27:19,198 --> 01:27:22,117
after we ran from the altar
to bail you out.
1705
01:27:22,117 --> 01:27:24,203
I know you're claustrophobic.
1706
01:27:24,203 --> 01:27:27,539
Plus, you'll get buggered by
every con in the cell block.
1707
01:27:27,539 --> 01:27:29,291
You should be in there!
1708
01:27:30,042 --> 01:27:32,252
Because you stole her from me.
1709
01:27:32,252 --> 01:27:33,795
He did not steal me.
1710
01:27:34,338 --> 01:27:35,547
I love him.
1711
01:27:36,089 --> 01:27:37,633
I can't fathom this.
1712
01:27:38,801 --> 01:27:41,136
I appreciate your coming, but...
1713
01:27:41,303 --> 01:27:42,554
why? Why not me?
1714
01:27:42,971 --> 01:27:45,891
You told me not to fall in love
with you, so I didn't.
1715
01:27:45,891 --> 01:27:49,019
How could you listen to me?
You know I'm crazy!
1716
01:27:49,019 --> 01:27:51,396
You were my mentor. That's why.
1717
01:27:51,522 --> 01:27:54,107
But you were sleeping
with you mentor.
1718
01:27:54,107 --> 01:27:56,610
So? I slept with
my gynecologist.
1719
01:27:56,735 --> 01:27:59,029
What has that
got to do with it?
1720
01:27:59,029 --> 01:28:03,200
You gonna snorkel down the Amazon
with him when you could've had me?
1721
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:06,787
I'll never be the writer you are.
I know that.
1722
01:28:06,870 --> 01:28:10,082
You put art into yourwork.
I put it into my life.
1723
01:28:10,082 --> 01:28:11,834
I can make her happier.
1724
01:28:11,875 --> 01:28:13,085
I love you.
1725
01:28:13,627 --> 01:28:17,131
I do. It's just that
I'm in love with Larry.
1726
01:28:18,757 --> 01:28:20,008
I'm his wife.
1727
01:28:20,217 --> 01:28:23,011
I love you too, Harry.
Give us your blessing...
1728
01:28:23,011 --> 01:28:25,931
so we can go and enjoy our
honeymoon. Okay?
1729
01:28:25,931 --> 01:28:28,725
We'll be in Santa Fe a month.
When we come back...
1730
01:28:28,725 --> 01:28:30,727
we'll go out.
We're friends.
1731
01:28:30,727 --> 01:28:33,647
He's taking you to the desert
for your honeymoon?
1732
01:28:33,647 --> 01:28:36,358
Yeah. You'd never take me
to the desert.
1733
01:28:36,358 --> 01:28:37,901
The desert is cactus.
1734
01:28:37,985 --> 01:28:41,488
It's Heela monsters, Gila monsters.
Lizards, is the desert.
1735
01:28:41,488 --> 01:28:44,700
- Harry, please!
- Give us your blessing, please?
1736
01:28:44,700 --> 01:28:46,577
Give 'em your blessings...
1737
01:28:46,785 --> 01:28:51,415
before I throw you back in the
fucking cell and I bugger you!
1738
01:28:53,250 --> 01:28:55,961
I don't know what to say.
I love you.
1739
01:28:55,961 --> 01:28:57,212
This guy...
1740
01:28:57,421 --> 01:28:58,672
I've loved...
1741
01:29:01,258 --> 01:29:02,551
I give up.
1742
01:29:05,345 --> 01:29:08,682
- We'll get you home.
- What am I going to say?
1743
01:29:08,682 --> 01:29:12,478
Santa Fe you're going to take her?
With the tacos?
1744
01:29:35,375 --> 01:29:37,753
What about the honoring ceremony?
1745
01:29:40,130 --> 01:29:42,049
We haven't had the ceremony.
1746
01:29:42,049 --> 01:29:43,717
The police interrupted.
1747
01:29:46,011 --> 01:29:47,554
What, am I dreaming?
1748
01:29:47,679 --> 01:29:48,931
Everybody dreams.
1749
01:29:48,972 --> 01:29:50,057
Come on!
1750
01:29:50,057 --> 01:29:52,893
Professor Clark
has everything planned.
1751
01:29:55,187 --> 01:29:56,605
Can I bring Hilly?
1752
01:29:57,064 --> 01:29:58,315
It's your dream.
1753
01:30:00,192 --> 01:30:01,443
Stebbins Hall?
1754
01:30:02,069 --> 01:30:04,530
Everyone is waiting
to honor you.
1755
01:30:04,613 --> 01:30:06,657
After all, you created them.
1756
01:31:15,058 --> 01:31:17,060
I love all of you. Really.
1757
01:31:17,144 --> 01:31:21,315
You've given me some of the
happiest moments of my life...
1758
01:31:21,315 --> 01:31:24,067
You've even saved
my life at times.
1759
01:31:24,359 --> 01:31:27,488
And now, you've actually
taught me things.
1760
01:31:27,571 --> 01:31:29,239
And I completely grateful.
1761
01:31:29,239 --> 01:31:30,908
The author's message is...
1762
01:31:30,908 --> 01:31:33,160
"know yourself",
stop kidding yourself.
1763
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:36,538
Accept your limitations
and get on with your life.
1764
01:31:36,538 --> 01:31:38,207
It's amazing. To me...
1765
01:31:38,332 --> 01:31:41,001
it's a really
interesting character.
1766
01:31:41,001 --> 01:31:42,252
A guy...
1767
01:31:42,336 --> 01:31:44,922
who can't function well in life...
1768
01:31:45,380 --> 01:31:47,591
but can only function in art.
1769
01:31:48,425 --> 01:31:51,887
It's sad in away and also funny.
Good for a novel.
1770
01:31:51,887 --> 01:31:54,348
Your books all seem sad
on the surface.
1771
01:31:54,348 --> 01:31:56,767
Which is why I.
like deconstructing them.
1772
01:31:56,767 --> 01:32:00,437
Underneath they're happy.
You just don't know it.
1773
01:32:01,355 --> 01:32:04,274
I tell you.
I feel like I'm in a dream.
1774
01:32:04,274 --> 01:32:07,778
This, for me, is like the best dream
I've had in months.
1775
01:32:07,861 --> 01:32:09,238
The happiest dream.
1776
01:32:10,823 --> 01:32:12,115
I like it!
1777
01:32:14,201 --> 01:32:15,953
A character who's too...
1778
01:32:16,662 --> 01:32:18,914
neurotic to function in life...
1779
01:32:19,706 --> 01:32:21,875
but can only function in art.
1780
01:32:25,003 --> 01:32:26,296
Notes for anovel.
1781
01:32:27,089 --> 01:32:28,507
Opening possibility:
1782
01:32:29,716 --> 01:32:30,968
Rifkin led a...
1783
01:32:31,510 --> 01:32:32,344
fragmented...
1784
01:32:32,344 --> 01:32:33,387
disjointed...
1785
01:32:33,387 --> 01:32:34,429
existence.
1786
01:32:34,429 --> 01:32:37,474
He had long ago come
to this conclusion:
1787
01:32:37,558 --> 01:32:39,852
All people know the same truth.
1788
01:32:40,144 --> 01:32:43,856
Our lives consist of how
we choose to distort it.
1789
01:32:43,897 --> 01:32:45,983
Only his writing was calm...
1790
01:32:46,817 --> 01:32:50,279
his writing, whichhad,
in more ways than one...
1791
01:32:50,696 --> 01:32:51,947
saved his life.
