- 00:00:11,233 --> 00:00:14,735
- Defend me, O God, thy humble
- servant in all assaults
- 2
- 00:00:14,737 --> 00:00:19,306
- of the enemy, that I, surely
- trusting in thy defense,
- 3
- 00:00:19,308 --> 00:00:23,143
- may not fear the power
- of the adversary,
- 4
- 00:00:23,145 --> 00:00:26,680
- that the words of my mouth,
- and the meditation of my heart,
- 5
- 00:00:26,682 --> 00:00:29,616
- be always acceptable
- in thy sight.
- 6
- 00:00:29,618 --> 00:00:32,920
- O Lord, my strength
- and my redeemer.
- 7
- 00:00:51,874 --> 00:00:53,307
- Hi, Clair.
- 8
- 00:01:03,853 --> 00:01:05,219
- Excuse me, Reverend.
- 9
- 00:01:05,221 --> 00:01:06,920
- The news is on.
- 10
- 00:01:13,562 --> 00:01:16,230
- - Good morning.
- - Morning.
- 11
- 00:01:16,232 --> 00:01:19,233
- Well, the big news of
- the hour is, once again,
- 12
- 00:01:19,235 --> 00:01:21,235
- you guessed it, Fay Grim.
- 13
- 00:01:21,237 --> 00:01:22,836
- Look, Ned.
- 14
- 00:01:22,838 --> 00:01:25,205
- It's the lady terrorist,
- Fay Grim.
- 15
- 00:01:25,207 --> 00:01:27,074
- Hey!
- 16
- 00:01:27,076 --> 00:01:29,843
- Gotta make it look like you did
- some work around here today, Derek.
- 17
- 00:01:29,845 --> 00:01:32,212
- The suburban single mom
- from Woodside, Queens, convicted
- 18
- 00:01:32,214 --> 00:01:35,816
- of treason and sentenced to
- a lifetime in prison without
- 19
- 00:01:35,818 --> 00:01:38,652
- hope of parole is finally
- being transferred
- 20
- 00:01:38,654 --> 00:01:41,121
- from a secret U.S.
- military detention center
- 21
- 00:01:41,123 --> 00:01:44,858
- and placed in a federal
- penitentiary in upstate New York.
- 22
- 00:01:44,860 --> 00:01:46,727
- Should've killed that
- slut when they found her.
- 23
- 00:01:46,729 --> 00:01:48,929
- Save the taxpayers
- a whole lot of money.
- 24
- 00:01:50,866 --> 00:01:54,067
- So, Lisa, what's the
- feeling there on the ground?
- 25
- 00:01:54,069 --> 00:01:57,204
- Well, Bob, there's a sizable
- crowd of protesters out by
- 26
- 00:01:57,206 --> 00:02:00,908
- the road chanting for Fay's
- execution, but by and large,
- 27
- 00:02:00,910 --> 00:02:04,044
- the community here
- is simply curious.
- 28
- 00:02:04,046 --> 00:02:06,680
- I say being in prison
- her whole life long...
- 29
- 00:02:06,682 --> 00:02:08,782
- best thing that ever
- happened to that girl.
- 30
- 00:02:08,784 --> 00:02:10,851
- She goes out on the streets,
- somebody's bound to hit her
- 31
- 00:02:10,853 --> 00:02:12,219
- in the head with a baseball
- bat or something.
- 32
- 00:02:12,221 --> 00:02:13,654
- Chet, can you see what
- the problem is
- 33
- 00:02:13,656 --> 00:02:15,222
- with the girl's lavatory?
- 34
- 00:02:15,224 --> 00:02:16,857
- Right away, Reverend.
- Right away. Just on my way.
- 35
- 00:02:16,859 --> 00:02:19,126
- You ladies have a nice day now.
- 36
- 00:02:19,128 --> 00:02:21,228
- The poor woman.
- 37
- 00:02:21,230 --> 00:02:23,230
- Mary, pull yourself together.
- 38
- 00:02:23,232 --> 00:02:26,800
- She's a traitor to the nation,
- an international terrorist.
- 39
- 00:02:26,802 --> 00:02:28,635
- She's Ned's mother!
- 40
- 00:02:28,637 --> 00:02:31,672
- Yes, well, of course this
- wouldn't be the first time
- 41
- 00:02:31,674 --> 00:02:34,208
- that a perfectly decent,
- God-fearing, sober-minded
- 42
- 00:02:34,210 --> 00:02:37,444
- person like Ned has risen up and
- escaped from such moral ruin.
- 43
- 00:02:37,446 --> 00:02:38,812
- I think she's innocent.
- 44
- 00:02:38,814 --> 00:02:40,447
- She's been convicted, Mary.
- 45
- 00:02:40,449 --> 00:02:42,216
- Mistakes have been made before.
- 46
- 00:02:42,218 --> 00:02:44,718
- Anyway, Ned's been
- traumatized by all this.
- 47
- 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,888
- It's a miracle he's as
- well-adjusted as he is.
- 48
- 00:02:47,890 --> 00:02:50,224
- - Has he decided yet?
- - I believe so.
- 49
- 00:02:50,226 --> 00:02:51,959
- He's 18 today.
- 50
- 00:02:51,961 --> 00:02:54,228
- He's free to leave witness
- protection if he chooses.
- 51
- 00:02:54,230 --> 00:02:55,996
- What do you suppose
- he's thinking about?
- 52
- 00:02:55,998 --> 00:02:57,231
- - Me.
- - Keep dreaming, Clair.
- 53
- 00:02:57,233 --> 00:02:59,233
- He smiled and said hello.
- 54
- 00:02:59,235 --> 00:03:01,235
- You're the minister's
- daughter for crying out loud.
- 55
- 00:03:01,237 --> 00:03:02,870
- He lives in your house.
- 56
- 00:03:02,872 --> 00:03:04,805
- I bet he's had sex
- and everything.
- 57
- 00:03:04,807 --> 00:03:06,874
- No, he's chaste, I'm certain.
- 58
- 00:03:06,876 --> 00:03:08,842
- Do you really think he'll
- leave, now that he's 18?
- 59
- 00:03:08,844 --> 00:03:10,277
- I hope not.
- 60
- 00:03:17,219 --> 00:03:20,020
- But, Mama, why is Ned in
- witness protection anyway?
- 61
- 00:03:20,022 --> 00:03:21,855
- Clair, you know we can't
- discuss those things.
- 62
- 00:03:21,857 --> 00:03:23,190
- This plate is chipped.
- 63
- 00:03:23,192 --> 00:03:24,625
- See if there's another one.
- 64
- 00:03:24,627 --> 00:03:26,894
- Not even now, now when
- he's about to leave?
- 65
- 00:03:26,896 --> 00:03:28,228
- Oh, really?
- Is he leaving?
- 66
- 00:03:28,230 --> 00:03:29,863
- That's what everybody says.
- 67
- 00:03:29,865 --> 00:03:31,164
- What everybody says, I see.
- 68
- 00:03:31,166 --> 00:03:32,466
- Well, why don't you
- ask him yourself?
- 69
- 00:03:32,468 --> 00:03:34,801
- Here he comes now.
- 70
- 00:03:34,803 --> 00:03:36,236
- That was great, Mrs.
- Gardner. Thank you.
- 71
- 00:03:36,238 --> 00:03:38,238
- There's more.
- 72
- 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,873
- No, thanks.
- I'm stuffed.
- 73
- 00:03:39,875 --> 00:03:41,241
- Derek, what did I tell you?
- 74
- 00:03:41,243 --> 00:03:42,876
- No mobile devices at the table.
- 75
- 00:03:42,878 --> 00:03:44,211
- They let that lady
- terrorist go today.
- 76
- 00:03:44,213 --> 00:03:45,846
- You mean Fay Grim.
- 77
- 00:03:45,848 --> 00:03:47,214
- They didn't let her go.
- They just moved her.
- 78
- 00:03:47,216 --> 00:03:48,882
- Enough!
- 79
- 00:03:48,884 --> 00:03:52,452
- Derek, help your sister bring
- out the coffee and dessert.
- 80
- 00:03:52,454 --> 00:03:54,221
- I'm sorry.
- 81
- 00:03:54,223 --> 00:03:56,456
- At least I know
- where she is now.
- 82
- 00:03:56,458 --> 00:03:59,459
- So you've decided?
- 83
- 00:03:59,461 --> 00:04:01,328
- Yes.
- 84
- 00:04:01,330 --> 00:04:05,299
- Are you sure you want
- to return to that...
- 85
- 00:04:05,301 --> 00:04:06,967
- well, that life?
- 86
- 00:04:09,738 --> 00:04:11,305
- She's my mother.
- 87
- 00:04:13,876 --> 00:04:16,176
- Happy Birthday!
- 88
- 00:04:16,178 --> 00:04:18,145
- Wow! Thank you.
- 89
- 00:04:18,147 --> 00:04:19,446
- Clair made it.
- 90
- 00:04:19,448 --> 00:04:21,315
- Thank you, Clair.
- 91
- 00:04:21,317 --> 00:04:23,650
- I don't know if
- it'll be any good or anything.
- 92
- 00:04:23,652 --> 00:04:25,218
- - I'm sure it is.
- - It's chocolate.
- 93
- 00:04:25,220 --> 00:04:26,520
- What should I wish for?
- 94
- 00:04:26,522 --> 00:04:27,988
- No, it's gotta be a secret.
- 95
- 00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:29,323
- Does it?
- 96
- 00:04:29,325 --> 00:04:30,557
- No. Clair, that's
- just superstitious.
- 97
- 00:04:30,559 --> 00:04:32,225
- Alice, what do you say?
- 98
- 00:04:32,227 --> 00:04:33,994
- "The secret things belong
- unto the Lord our God."
- 99
- 00:04:33,996 --> 00:04:35,228
- Clair?
- 100
- 00:04:35,230 --> 00:04:37,197
- "Ecclesiastes"?
- 101
- 00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:39,333
- No. "Judges."
- Sit down. Go ahead, Ned.
- 102
- 00:04:39,335 --> 00:04:41,234
- Wish away.
- 103
- 00:04:41,236 --> 00:04:44,338
- I wish...
- 104
- 00:04:44,340 --> 00:04:48,141
- I wish this family
- the peace, the happiness,
- 105
- 00:04:48,143 --> 00:04:52,212
- and the security it has
- provided me these past 4 years
- 106
- 00:04:52,214 --> 00:04:54,214
- forever and ever.
- 107
- 00:04:54,216 --> 00:04:55,916
- Amen.
- 108
- 00:05:00,622 --> 00:05:02,055
- Dad.
- 109
- 00:05:02,057 --> 00:05:04,791
- Oh, yes, Ned, this is just
- a little something from
- 110
- 00:05:04,793 --> 00:05:06,526
- all of us.
- 111
- 00:05:06,528 --> 00:05:07,861
- Don't open it now.
- 112
- 00:05:07,863 --> 00:05:09,329
- Happy Birthday.
- 113
- 00:05:09,331 --> 00:05:10,630
- Thank you, all.
- 114
- 00:05:10,632 --> 00:05:11,865
- It's a Bible.
- 115
- 00:05:11,867 --> 00:05:13,233
- Derek!
- 116
- 00:05:35,858 --> 00:05:39,926
- "Our thoughts go with you
- and our hopes also."
- 117
- 00:05:52,241 --> 00:05:54,041
- Wow! Clair!
- 118
- 00:06:00,015 --> 00:06:01,681
- I wish you wouldn't leave.
- 119
- 00:06:01,683 --> 00:06:03,383
- I know that.
- 120
- 00:06:03,385 --> 00:06:05,552
- You're an important and loved
- member of this community.
- 121
- 00:06:05,554 --> 00:06:08,021
- Besides, there is work here
- for you if you want it,
- 122
- 00:06:08,023 --> 00:06:09,856
- a career, maybe
- even the ministry.
- 123
- 00:06:09,858 --> 00:06:12,225
- I believe you have
- a true calling.
- 124
- 00:06:12,227 --> 00:06:15,762
- I've prayed on it, Reverend.
- I'm not sure it's for me.
- 125
- 00:06:17,866 --> 00:06:23,537
- I know, as you do, that I've
- made mistakes, indiscretions.
- 126
- 00:06:23,539 --> 00:06:26,139
- That young lady from
- Florida, in particular.
- 127
- 00:06:26,141 --> 00:06:28,175
- We're all human, sir.
- 128
- 00:06:28,177 --> 00:06:29,876
- Temptation exists.
- 129
- 00:06:29,878 --> 00:06:33,213
- Yes, but I owe you my life for
- your help in covering up that
- 130
- 00:06:33,215 --> 00:06:34,848
- disgraceful and tragic episode.
- 131
- 00:06:34,850 --> 00:06:36,883
- Make your peace
- with God, Reverend.
- 132
- 00:06:36,885 --> 00:06:39,219
- You're too good a man to
- be brought low by a mistake
- 133
- 00:06:39,221 --> 00:06:41,221
- of that kind.
- 134
- 00:06:41,223 --> 00:06:43,924
- In any event, your
- secret is safe with me.
- 135
- 00:06:49,798 --> 00:06:52,299
- Don't spend it all
- in one place.
- 136
- 00:06:52,301 --> 00:06:53,867
- Thank you, Reverend.
- 137
- 00:06:53,869 --> 00:06:55,235
- I'll pay this back in time.
- 138
- 00:06:55,237 --> 00:06:56,870
- No rush.
- 139
- 00:06:56,872 --> 00:06:59,172
- You'll retain your new
- identity, your new name?
- 140
- 00:06:59,174 --> 00:07:00,640
- Yes.
- 141
- 00:07:03,345 --> 00:07:05,812
- What are your intentions?
- 142
- 00:07:07,216 --> 00:07:09,749
- I'm going to find my father.
- 143
- 00:07:11,220 --> 00:07:15,889
- I see. Of course.
- And what then?
- 144
- 00:07:15,891 --> 00:07:17,924
- What will you do when
- you find your father?
- 145
- 00:07:19,862 --> 00:07:21,995
- I'm going to kill him.
- 146
- 00:07:25,234 --> 00:07:29,069
- I'm going to kill him for
- destroying my mom's life,
- 147
- 00:07:29,071 --> 00:07:32,572
- for leading her astray,
- away from the light,
- 148
- 00:07:32,574 --> 00:07:35,876
- and the power, and
- the glory that is God.
- 149
- 00:07:35,878 --> 00:07:38,211
- I learned it here, sir,
- and I thank you
- 150
- 00:07:38,213 --> 00:07:39,813
- for the knowledge.
- 151
- 00:07:45,854 --> 00:07:49,022
- I was going to say
- "Go in peace."
- 152
- 00:07:50,859 --> 00:07:54,294
- I'm sorry, Reverend,
- but that's not likely.
- 153
- 00:09:36,164 --> 00:09:38,865
- Hold it, son.
- No sudden movement.
- 154
- 00:09:38,867 --> 00:09:41,301
- Appropriate
- physical contact only.
- 155
- 00:09:44,740 --> 00:09:46,940
- Right?
- 156
- 00:09:53,315 --> 00:09:57,217
- You're so tall, and
- you've got color.
- 157
- 00:09:57,219 --> 00:09:58,918
- Your hair is darker.
- 158
- 00:10:00,222 --> 00:10:01,788
- Do you have a girlfriend?
- 159
- 00:10:01,790 --> 00:10:04,624
- Maybe.
- I don't know.
- 160
- 00:10:04,626 --> 00:10:08,028
- Ha! Playing the field, good,
- be careful though, O.K.?
- 161
- 00:10:08,030 --> 00:10:09,329
- I'm chaste, Mom.
- 162
- 00:10:09,331 --> 00:10:10,730
- You're what?
- 163
- 00:10:10,732 --> 00:10:14,167
- I'm a virgin.
- 164
- 00:10:14,169 --> 00:10:15,869
- It's what God wants.
- 165
- 00:10:15,871 --> 00:10:18,171
- We should remain
- chaste until marriage.
- 166
- 00:10:19,873 --> 00:10:21,308
- Mom, it's O.K.
- 167
- 00:10:22,878 --> 00:10:24,210
- You're religious?
- 168
- 00:10:26,214 --> 00:10:28,214
- There's a better way to live.
- 169
- 00:10:28,216 --> 00:10:30,216
- Yeah, well, tell me about it.
- 170
- 00:10:30,218 --> 00:10:32,118
- But how are you?
- 171
- 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:38,792
- Oh, well, this place is a barrel
- of laughs compared to where I was.
- 172
- 00:10:38,794 --> 00:10:42,228
- At least you're allowed to
- see people, talk to people.
- 173
- 00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:44,230
- I do yoga.
- 174
- 00:10:44,232 --> 00:10:46,866
- I'm starting a book club.
- Oh, and a big publishing company
- 175
- 00:10:46,868 --> 00:10:49,235
- paid me a million dollars
- for my autobiography--
- 176
- 00:10:49,237 --> 00:10:51,905
- you know, suburban-single-
- mom-terrorist sort of thing.
- 177
- 00:10:51,907 --> 00:10:53,239
- They're sure it'll be
- a best-seller.
- 178
- 00:10:53,241 --> 00:10:55,141
- Are they allowed to do that?
- 179
- 00:10:55,143 --> 00:10:57,210
- Well, no. I'm not allowed
- to earn money myself,
- 180
- 00:10:57,212 --> 00:10:59,212
- but they've set up
- an account for you.
- 181
- 00:10:59,214 --> 00:11:00,847
- Simon has all the details.
- 182
- 00:11:00,849 --> 00:11:02,882
- So you're writing the
- story of your life?
- 183
- 00:11:02,884 --> 00:11:05,218
- Not me exactly. No.
- 184
- 00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:07,220
- They send this graduate
- student chick over once a week
- 185
- 00:11:07,222 --> 00:11:09,222
- who's supposed to be
- a genius or something.
- 186
- 00:11:09,224 --> 00:11:11,224
- She asks me questions
- and records it all.
- 187
- 00:11:11,226 --> 00:11:12,859
- She does all the work.
- 188
- 00:11:12,861 --> 00:11:18,331
- Mom, forgive me, but...
- you're not a terrorist, right?
- 189
- 00:11:18,333 --> 00:11:20,333
- How can you ask me that?
- 190
- 00:11:20,335 --> 00:11:23,970
- You're just, like, totally
- falsely accused, correct?
- 191
- 00:11:23,972 --> 00:11:25,939
- Yeah, well, of course.
- 192
- 00:11:27,676 --> 00:11:31,211
- But...
- 193
- 00:11:31,213 --> 00:11:34,447
- I did some stupid things.
- 194
- 00:11:34,449 --> 00:11:36,850
- I was confused.
- 195
- 00:11:36,852 --> 00:11:40,286
- I lied about--about...
- 196
- 00:11:42,624 --> 00:11:46,459
- Well, you see, Ned, there
- was, you know, a bomb.
- 197
- 00:11:46,461 --> 00:11:48,995
- Mom, it's O.K.
- I believe you.
- 198
- 00:11:48,997 --> 00:11:51,064
- God, I'm such an idiot.
- 199
- 00:11:51,066 --> 00:11:52,999
- No, you're not.
- 200
- 00:11:53,001 --> 00:11:56,002
- Oh, what my life might've been
- if I'd never met your father.
- 201
- 00:11:56,004 --> 00:11:57,670
- I know.
- 202
- 00:11:57,672 --> 00:11:58,972
- I mean, apart from having you.
- 203
- 00:12:01,877 --> 00:12:03,476
- Where is he now?
- 204
- 00:12:03,478 --> 00:12:06,212
- - Henry?
- - Yes.
- 205
- 00:12:06,214 --> 00:12:09,315
- Russia, I guess.
- Odessa, I think.
- 206
- 00:12:09,317 --> 00:12:11,785
- After that, who knows?
- Who cares?
- 207
- 00:12:11,787 --> 00:12:13,186
- Forget about him, Ned.
- 208
- 00:12:14,488 --> 00:12:17,123
- He deserves to die for the
- trouble he's caused you.
- 209
- 00:12:17,725 --> 00:12:19,425
- Oh, don't talk like that.
- 210
- 00:12:19,627 --> 00:12:21,294
- Who deserves to die?
- 211
- 00:12:21,296 --> 00:12:23,630
- There's a woman here--
- Florence. She shot and killed
- 212
- 00:12:23,632 --> 00:12:25,465
- her husband and
- two little girls.
- 213
- 00:12:25,467 --> 00:12:29,068
- Most days, she wants to die,
- but more and more, she's just
- 214
- 00:12:29,070 --> 00:12:30,970
- this kind, little woman
- who's happy to work all day
- 215
- 00:12:30,972 --> 00:12:33,239
- in the laundry.
- 216
- 00:12:33,241 --> 00:12:35,241
- What gets into people?
- 217
- 00:12:35,243 --> 00:12:38,178
- The devil, probably.
- 218
- 00:12:39,848 --> 00:12:41,281
- Fay, time's up.
- 219
- 00:12:42,784 --> 00:12:44,617
- Go see your Uncle Simon.
- 220
- 00:12:44,619 --> 00:12:45,852
- He's got the information about
- the publisher and the money.
- 221
- 00:12:45,854 --> 00:12:47,120
- O.K.
- 222
- 00:12:47,122 --> 00:12:48,354
- You'll come back soon, right?
- 223
- 00:12:48,356 --> 00:12:49,656
- As soon as I can.
- 224
- 00:12:49,658 --> 00:12:50,890
- I have to take care
- of something first.
- 225
- 00:12:50,892 --> 00:12:52,158
- Don't forget me in here.
- 226
- 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,460
- I may have to be
- away for a while.
- 227
- 00:12:53,462 --> 00:12:55,028
- O.K. Call me.
- 228
- 00:12:55,030 --> 00:12:56,563
- - I'm sorry, young man. Time's up.
- - O.K.
- 229
- 00:12:56,565 --> 00:12:58,898
- Between 7:00 and 9:00
- on Wednesday.
- 230
- 00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:00,300
- I'm always here.
- 231
- 00:13:43,245 --> 00:13:46,613
- Hi. I'm here to see a friend
- of mine. Mr. Simon Grim?
- 232
- 00:13:46,615 --> 00:13:48,448
- Is he expecting you?
- 233
- 00:13:48,450 --> 00:13:49,782
- I believe so.
- 234
- 00:13:53,455 --> 00:13:55,788
- Yes, sir, someone's
- here. A Mister...
- 235
- 00:13:55,790 --> 00:13:57,290
- Edward Rifle.
- 236
- 00:13:57,292 --> 00:13:58,858
- Mr. Rifle.
- 237
- 00:13:58,860 --> 00:14:00,326
- Of course.
- 238
- 00:14:00,328 --> 00:14:02,662
- It's the elevator to the
- 4th floor, room 423.
- 239
- 00:14:02,664 --> 00:14:04,364
- It's the street side.
- 240
- 00:14:09,237 --> 00:14:12,238
- Ned, nice to see you.
- Thanks for visiting.
- 241
- 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,841
- I'm just revising
- my new material.
- 242
- 00:14:14,843 --> 00:14:16,175
- A new poem?
- 243
- 00:14:16,177 --> 00:14:17,610
- No, I'm through with all that.
- 244
- 00:14:17,612 --> 00:14:19,812
- Working on
- my stand-up routine.
- 245
- 00:14:19,814 --> 00:14:22,015
- You want to be a comedian?
- 246
- 00:14:22,017 --> 00:14:23,449
- Yeah, why not?
- 247
- 00:14:23,451 --> 00:14:24,918
- Am I not funny?
- 248
- 00:14:28,156 --> 00:14:29,989
- Well, it's been a while,
- Uncle Simon.
- 249
- 00:14:29,991 --> 00:14:31,891
- That's right.
- 250
- 00:14:31,893 --> 00:14:34,227
- It's been a while, and real-life
- experience has taught me much,
- 251
- 00:14:34,229 --> 00:14:36,029
- that perhaps I'd overlooked
- as a poet laureate
- 252
- 00:14:36,031 --> 00:14:37,564
- and cultural touchstone.
- 253
- 00:14:37,566 --> 00:14:41,167
- People want a good laugh
- now and then, Ned, trust me.
- 254
- 00:14:41,169 --> 00:14:44,804
- Good old-fashioned slapstick
- humor, naughty innuendo,
- 255
- 00:14:44,806 --> 00:14:48,474
- a few well-placed fart jokes.
- Enough with the earnest reflection,
- 256
- 00:14:48,476 --> 00:14:50,310
- the tragic
- but unifying elusiveness
- 257
- 00:14:50,312 --> 00:14:52,545
- of the human spirit in
- modern times and so on.
- 258
- 00:14:52,547 --> 00:14:55,648
- I'm through with it.
- 259
- 00:14:55,650 --> 00:15:00,353
- Only now, after all this
- heartbreak and controversy,
- 260
- 00:15:00,355 --> 00:15:04,591
- only now, am I able to
- confront my inner clown.
- 261
- 00:15:06,294 --> 00:15:09,295
- Look, Uncle Simon, my mom said
- you had some money for me.
- 262
- 00:15:09,297 --> 00:15:12,231
- Oh, yeah, here it is.
- That's the bank card.
- 263
- 00:15:12,233 --> 00:15:14,167
- The pin number's on
- the Post-It note.
- 264
- 00:15:14,169 --> 00:15:16,035
- Thanks.
- 265
- 00:15:16,037 --> 00:15:17,670
- So where exactly
- do you do this?
- 266
- 00:15:17,672 --> 00:15:18,972
- Do what?
- 267
- 00:15:18,974 --> 00:15:20,406
- Your stand-up comedy
- routine.
- 268
- 00:15:20,408 --> 00:15:21,674
- Right here in front
- of the computer.
- 269
- 00:15:21,676 --> 00:15:23,209
- I have a weekly video blog.
- 270
- 00:15:23,211 --> 00:15:24,544
- I'm about to post a new one,
- 271
- 00:15:24,546 --> 00:15:26,212
- but I can't seem to
- get this joke right.
- 272
- 00:15:27,649 --> 00:15:29,682
- Ah! That's Zach,
- my comedy coach.
- 273
- 00:15:29,684 --> 00:15:31,651
- Excellent.
- 274
- 00:15:31,653 --> 00:15:33,286
- Think funny.
- 275
- 00:15:33,288 --> 00:15:35,154
- Hi, Zach.
- Come on in.
- 276
- 00:15:35,156 --> 00:15:36,389
- Zach this is my nephew, Ned.
- 277
- 00:15:36,391 --> 00:15:37,991
- Ned, Zach.
- 278
- 00:15:37,993 --> 00:15:39,225
- Think funny.
- 279
- 00:15:39,227 --> 00:15:40,860
- Hey, you know,
- you guys have work to do,
- 280
- 00:15:40,862 --> 00:15:42,528
- and I have to go get a room.
- 281
- 00:15:42,530 --> 00:15:43,830
- I'll leave you to it for now.
- Talk to you later, Simon.
- 282
- 00:15:43,832 --> 00:15:45,398
- See you later, kid.
- 283
- 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,234
- Have you got a room free?
- 284
- 00:15:48,236 --> 00:15:49,569
- How many nights?
- 285
- 00:15:49,571 --> 00:15:52,171
- 2, 3, maybe.
- 286
- 00:15:52,173 --> 00:15:53,873
- Yeah, I can do that.
- 287
- 00:15:53,875 --> 00:15:55,141
- A single, right?
- 288
- 00:15:55,143 --> 00:15:57,510
- Right. Can I leave
- my suitcase here?
- 289
- 00:15:57,512 --> 00:15:58,911
- Sure.
- 290
- 00:16:26,241 --> 00:16:29,108
- Wow, that's a lot of money.
- 291
- 00:16:46,427 --> 00:16:47,060
- Hey.
- 292
- 00:16:48,162 --> 00:16:48,729
- Hey.
- 293
- 00:16:50,331 --> 00:16:52,799
- Are you staying at the hotel?
- 294
- 00:16:53,901 --> 00:16:57,470
- Oh, I just sort of
- hang around there.
- 295
- 00:16:57,972 --> 00:17:04,077
- Oh, well, I'm sorry but...
- I'm not interested.
- 296
- 00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:05,645
- In what?
- 297
- 00:17:05,647 --> 00:17:10,450
- In whatever it is
- you're selling.
- 298
- 00:17:10,452 --> 00:17:12,919
- Do you think I'm a prostitute?
- 299
- 00:17:20,195 --> 00:17:21,994
- What do you want?
- 300
- 00:17:21,996 --> 00:17:24,030
- To meet Simon Grim.
- 301
- 00:17:24,032 --> 00:17:27,233
- Oh, that's why you
- hang around the hotel?
- 302
- 00:17:27,235 --> 00:17:28,901
- He never leaves the building.
- 303
- 00:17:28,903 --> 00:17:30,670
- I've been here for weeks.
- 304
- 00:17:30,672 --> 00:17:34,006
- I did my graduate
- thesis on his poetry.
- 305
- 00:17:44,853 --> 00:17:46,152
- Susan.
- 306
- 00:17:46,154 --> 00:17:48,254
- Edward.
- 307
- 00:17:58,233 --> 00:17:59,866
- He claims he's over poetry
- now and wants to do
- 308
- 00:17:59,868 --> 00:18:01,234
- stand-up comedy.
- 309
- 00:18:01,236 --> 00:18:03,836
- Of course. All the poets
- are doing that now.
- 310
- 00:18:03,838 --> 00:18:05,872
- It's the new thing.
- Have you seen his blog?
- 311
- 00:18:05,874 --> 00:18:07,140
- Not yet.
- 312
- 00:18:07,142 --> 00:18:08,374
- Don't.
- 313
- 00:18:08,376 --> 00:18:09,976
- It's bad, huh?
- 314
- 00:18:09,978 --> 00:18:11,811
- It's perfectly harmless,
- mind-numbingly attuned to
- 315
- 00:18:11,813 --> 00:18:14,213
- the lowest common denominator
- of consumer entertainment.
- 316
- 00:18:14,215 --> 00:18:15,848
- What do you want to talk
- to him about then?
- 317
- 00:18:15,850 --> 00:18:17,216
- Are you familiar with his work?
- 318
- 00:18:17,218 --> 00:18:18,618
- - Grim's?
- - Yes.
- 319
- 00:18:18,620 --> 00:18:19,986
- A little.
- 320
- 00:18:19,988 --> 00:18:22,855
- I sometimes work for
- his comedy coach, Zach.
- 321
- 00:18:22,857 --> 00:18:24,223
- He's a jerk.
- 322
- 00:18:24,225 --> 00:18:26,225
- Zach?
- 323
- 00:18:26,227 --> 00:18:29,228
- I asked him to introduce me
- to Grim, and he insisted
- 324
- 00:18:29,230 --> 00:18:30,696
- on sexual favors.
- 325
- 00:18:30,698 --> 00:18:32,131
- No!
- 326
- 00:18:32,133 --> 00:18:34,901
- And afterwards, he still
- refused to introduce me.
- 327
- 00:18:36,237 --> 00:18:38,237
- You're not well.
- 328
- 00:18:38,239 --> 00:18:41,874
- I got caught in
- the rain yesterday.
- 329
- 00:18:41,876 --> 00:18:44,010
- Where do you stay?
- 330
- 00:18:44,012 --> 00:18:47,380
- Oh, around.
- 331
- 00:18:47,382 --> 00:18:48,848
- Do you have a room
- for my friend here?
- 332
- 00:18:48,850 --> 00:18:50,149
- She's your friend?
- 333
- 00:18:50,151 --> 00:18:51,684
- Yes, I'm paying.
- 334
- 00:18:51,686 --> 00:18:53,286
- He thinks I'm
- a prostitute, too.
- 335
- 00:18:53,288 --> 00:18:54,854
- No, you're the poet
- laureate stalker.
- 336
- 00:18:54,856 --> 00:18:56,289
- Ex-poet laureate.
- 337
- 00:18:56,291 --> 00:18:58,858
- She wrote a book about him.
- 338
- 00:18:58,860 --> 00:19:00,660
- I have no singles left.
- 339
- 00:19:00,662 --> 00:19:02,395
- This place doesn't
- seem so busy.
- 340
- 00:19:02,397 --> 00:19:03,863
- Still, no singles.
- You got the last one.
- 341
- 00:19:03,865 --> 00:19:06,732
- I do have a double, though.
- 342
- 00:19:06,734 --> 00:19:08,968
- Does that mean two beds?
- 343
- 00:19:08,970 --> 00:19:11,237
- Two single beds.
- 344
- 00:19:11,239 --> 00:19:14,307
- That O.K. with you?
- 345
- 00:19:44,539 --> 00:19:46,873
- Where's that comedy
- coach of yours?
- 346
- 00:19:46,875 --> 00:19:48,207
- I fired him.
- 347
- 00:19:48,209 --> 00:19:50,009
- Yeah?
- 348
- 00:19:50,011 --> 00:19:52,211
- I don't think Zach knows the
- first thing about being funny.
- 349
- 00:19:52,213 --> 00:19:53,846
- And you do?
- 350
- 00:19:53,848 --> 00:19:57,350
- You appear to doubt
- my comic chops.
- 351
- 00:19:57,352 --> 00:20:00,853
- Simon, what are you doing?
- 352
- 00:20:00,855 --> 00:20:03,856
- I want to be popular and
- liked, like everybody else.
- 353
- 00:20:03,858 --> 00:20:06,626
- But you're not popular, and it
- takes most people a while to
- 354
- 00:20:06,628 --> 00:20:09,629
- get to know you before they like
- you, and once they like you,
- 355
- 00:20:09,631 --> 00:20:11,497
- they tend to love you.
- 356
- 00:20:11,499 --> 00:20:12,999
- Yeah, but I can change that.
- 357
- 00:20:13,001 --> 00:20:14,233
- Why?
- 358
- 00:20:14,235 --> 00:20:15,735
- Have you read my poetry?
- 359
- 00:20:15,737 --> 00:20:17,336
- Yeah, well, no.
- 360
- 00:20:17,338 --> 00:20:20,306
- Not really, but I'm
- not that into poetry.
- 361
- 00:20:20,308 --> 00:20:22,241
- But that's just it.
- 362
- 00:20:22,243 --> 00:20:24,176
- Shouldn't I be doing something
- that a hip, young guy like
- 363
- 00:20:24,178 --> 00:20:25,544
- yourself is interested in?
- 364
- 00:20:25,546 --> 00:20:27,280
- Am I hip?
- 365
- 00:20:27,282 --> 00:20:29,682
- Well, I don't know.
- Aren't you? You're young.
- 366
- 00:20:29,684 --> 00:20:32,718
- Simon, if you're all set on
- chucking poetry, don't waste
- 367
- 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,655
- your time trying to be
- a stand-up comic.
- 368
- 00:20:35,657 --> 00:20:38,357
- Set you eyes on the
- straight and narrow, and give
- 369
- 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,627
- yourself to Jesus.
- 370
- 00:20:41,629 --> 00:20:43,629
- You're not just trying to
- be funny now, are you?
- 371
- 00:20:43,631 --> 00:20:45,231
- No, of course not.
- 372
- 00:20:45,233 --> 00:20:47,667
- Well, this is new.
- 373
- 00:20:47,669 --> 00:20:49,302
- You've found God?
- 374
- 00:20:49,304 --> 00:20:53,039
- Look, I have a friend downstairs
- who wants to meet you.
- 375
- 00:20:53,041 --> 00:20:56,242
- Is this an intervention?
- 376
- 00:20:56,244 --> 00:20:57,543
- A what?
- 377
- 00:20:57,545 --> 00:20:58,878
- Am I going to be
- baptized or something?
- 378
- 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,815
- No. She knows all
- about your poetry.
- 379
- 00:21:02,817 --> 00:21:05,384
- She wants to give you a
- copy of her dissertation.
- 380
- 00:21:05,386 --> 00:21:09,221
- It's the least you can do,
- I think, really.
- 381
- 00:21:09,223 --> 00:21:12,992
- O.K., bring her up.
- 382
- 00:21:12,994 --> 00:21:15,227
- Tomorrow. She's sleeping.
- 383
- 00:21:15,229 --> 00:21:19,899
- Now, any ideas about where
- my father might be?
- 384
- 00:21:19,901 --> 00:21:22,501
- Seattle.
- 385
- 00:21:22,503 --> 00:21:25,137
- Hundreds of people follow my
- blog, and many of them write
- 386
- 00:21:25,139 --> 00:21:26,706
- in and post comments.
- 387
- 00:21:26,708 --> 00:21:30,242
- Henry, who seems to work at,
- or used to work at a certain
- 388
- 00:21:30,244 --> 00:21:34,547
- bookstore in Seattle, writes in
- weekly, and assassinates my character
- 389
- 00:21:34,549 --> 00:21:37,149
- in increasingly elaborate ways.
- 390
- 00:21:37,151 --> 00:21:40,786
- I think more people follow my
- blog to read him than to see
- 391
- 00:21:40,788 --> 00:21:42,421
- my stand-up routine,
- honestly.
- 392
- 00:21:49,864 --> 00:21:53,299
- You're not going to try and
- save Henry for Jesus, are you?
- 393
- 00:21:53,301 --> 00:21:56,268
- And what if I am?
- 394
- 00:22:19,827 --> 00:22:22,995
- O Lord, give unto thy
- servant that peace that the
- 395
- 00:22:22,997 --> 00:22:26,332
- world cannot give, that my
- heart may be set to obey
- 396
- 00:22:26,334 --> 00:22:27,800
- thy commandments,
- 397
- 00:22:27,802 --> 00:22:29,902
- That through thee I
- remain constant of purpose
- 398
- 00:22:29,904 --> 00:22:31,804
- and fearless of the enemy.
- 399
- 00:22:31,806 --> 00:22:35,174
- Lighten my darkness, O Lord,
- I beseech thee, and by thy
- 400
- 00:22:35,176 --> 00:22:37,710
- mercy defend me from the
- perils and dangers of this
- 401
- 00:22:37,712 --> 00:22:40,946
- night, for the love of
- thy Holy Son, our Savior,
- 402
- 00:22:40,948 --> 00:22:42,214
- Jesus Christ.
- 403
- 00:22:42,216 --> 00:22:43,916
- Amen.
- 404
- 00:22:52,894 --> 00:22:55,227
- He said 10:00?
- 405
- 00:22:55,229 --> 00:22:57,296
- Any time after 10:00.
- 406
- 00:22:57,298 --> 00:22:58,864
- How do I look?
- 407
- 00:22:58,866 --> 00:23:01,867
- Great. What are you
- all dolled-up for?
- 408
- 00:23:01,869 --> 00:23:04,770
- You're just going to be talking
- about poetry and literature.
- 409
- 00:23:04,772 --> 00:23:06,205
- I don't look like a slut, do I?
- 410
- 00:23:06,207 --> 00:23:08,040
- - No.
- - Really?
- 411
- 00:23:08,042 --> 00:23:14,280
- Yeah, it's just I don't--
- well, I don't know anything
- 412
- 00:23:14,282 --> 00:23:15,848
- about literature.
- 413
- 00:23:15,850 --> 00:23:18,017
- That's right, you don't.
- 414
- 00:23:20,154 --> 00:23:22,221
- See you this afternoon.
- 415
- 00:23:22,223 --> 00:23:23,923
- Good luck.
- 416
- 00:23:28,663 --> 00:23:30,229
- She went up to the poet
- laureate 10 minutes ago.
- 417
- 00:23:30,231 --> 00:23:31,864
- We're O.K. with
- the room, right?
- 418
- 00:23:31,866 --> 00:23:33,232
- Two more nights.
- 419
- 00:23:33,234 --> 00:23:34,867
- O.K., thanks.
- 420
- 00:23:34,869 --> 00:23:36,302
- Want me to tell her anything?
- 421
- 00:23:36,304 --> 00:23:39,438
- No. Make sure she
- knows the room's hers.
- 422
- 00:23:40,908 --> 00:23:42,942
- - La Guardia Airport.
- - O.K.
- 423
- 00:23:44,879 --> 00:23:49,115
- I've always read the poems, even,
- and especially the later ones,
- 424
- 00:23:49,117 --> 00:23:53,352
- as an evocation of the joys
- and sorrows of influence.
- 425
- 00:23:53,354 --> 00:23:56,222
- The evolution of one's
- own manner of perceiving
- 426
- 00:23:56,224 --> 00:23:59,625
- and inevitably expressing the
- world to one's self and to others,
- 427
- 00:24:00,027 --> 00:24:04,196
- the sadness of breaking
- with the cherished attitudes
- 428
- 00:24:04,198 --> 00:24:08,834
- inherited from the friendly,
- encouraging, but ultimately
- 429
- 00:24:08,836 --> 00:24:11,203
- limited sources that
- must be outgrown.
- 430
- 00:24:11,205 --> 00:24:13,973
- Please go on.
- 431
- 00:24:13,975 --> 00:24:19,845
- I recognize that voice--
- the tempter, the challenger,
- 432
- 00:24:19,847 --> 00:24:23,215
- the seducer, the friend.
- 433
- 00:24:23,217 --> 00:24:25,317
- Yes.
- 434
- 00:24:25,319 --> 00:24:27,286
- I use the term "antagonist"
- to start with,
- 435
- 00:24:27,288 --> 00:24:29,622
- but it's more fluid than that.
- 436
- 00:24:29,624 --> 00:24:31,724
- I could never find the
- right word for how he feels
- 437
- 00:24:31,726 --> 00:24:33,359
- to be with.
- 438
- 00:24:33,361 --> 00:24:38,297
- It's actually more like
- being inspired by the wind,
- 439
- 00:24:38,299 --> 00:24:42,535
- the rain, a sickness,
- some other uncontrollable
- 440
- 00:24:42,537 --> 00:24:45,371
- element--demonic.
- 441
- 00:24:45,373 --> 00:24:48,240
- You seem to know Henry
- better than I do.
- 442
- 00:24:48,242 --> 00:24:50,543
- It's expressed better in
- the body of the text itself,
- 443
- 00:24:50,545 --> 00:24:53,379
- but that is, I think,
- it generally.
- 444
- 00:25:01,222 --> 00:25:04,290
- It was difficult to get out
- from the shadow he cast.
- 445
- 00:25:04,292 --> 00:25:07,326
- There was always something apt
- about his most unreasonable
- 446
- 00:25:07,328 --> 00:25:09,361
- ranting and raving that
- kept me from dismissing his
- 447
- 00:25:09,363 --> 00:25:11,330
- input entirely--
- 448
- 00:25:11,332 --> 00:25:14,900
- his own failures, his own
- ineptitude, his delusions.
- 449
- 00:25:14,902 --> 00:25:17,570
- These, I came to see, were
- my lens onto the world.
- 450
- 00:25:17,572 --> 00:25:19,905
- It provided a material out
- of which to shape an image
- 451
- 00:25:19,907 --> 00:25:21,740
- of that world as I endured it.
- 452
- 00:25:21,742 --> 00:25:23,542
- Endured it?
- 453
- 00:25:23,544 --> 00:25:25,644
- I merely endured the world until
- my friend, Henry, showed me
- 454
- 00:25:25,646 --> 00:25:27,213
- one could do otherwise.
- 455
- 00:25:27,215 --> 00:25:28,881
- It was the same with me.
- 456
- 00:25:28,883 --> 00:25:30,282
- Excuse me?
- 457
- 00:25:30,284 --> 00:25:32,384
- I mean, of course,
- through the reading
- 458
- 00:25:32,386 --> 00:25:35,054
- of your poetry, how
- you rendered him and his
- 459
- 00:25:35,056 --> 00:25:37,856
- influence upon you.
- 460
- 00:25:37,858 --> 00:25:42,228
- I'm moved by how intimately
- you've engaged in my poetry.
- 461
- 00:25:42,230 --> 00:25:45,864
- It means the world to me,
- and I was so afraid
- 462
- 00:25:45,866 --> 00:25:47,333
- I might be totally mistaken.
- 463
- 00:25:47,335 --> 00:25:48,867
- What do you want?
- A documentary?
- 464
- 00:25:48,869 --> 00:25:50,469
- A YouTube feed?
- A series of Tweets?
- 465
- 00:25:50,471 --> 00:25:52,171
- Whatever you want, just ask.
- 466
- 00:25:52,173 --> 00:25:53,706
- Stop doing your blog.
- 467
- 00:25:53,708 --> 00:25:55,507
- Oh.
- 468
- 00:25:55,509 --> 00:25:57,243
- The stand-up thing
- is awful.
- 469
- 00:25:57,245 --> 00:25:58,644
- Wow.
- 470
- 00:25:58,646 --> 00:26:02,815
- Decisive, committed,
- admittedly obscure work
- 471
- 00:26:02,817 --> 00:26:05,251
- indifferent to mainstream
- approval and unafraid
- 472
- 00:26:05,253 --> 00:26:07,820
- of confrontation with moral
- and aesthetic absolutes.
- 473
- 00:26:07,822 --> 00:26:10,289
- This, more than you might
- imagine, is what keeps people
- 474
- 00:26:10,291 --> 00:26:13,225
- from jumping out
- windows and under trains.
- 475
- 00:26:13,227 --> 00:26:16,729
- Adding to mass-cultural
- self-congratulation, is, of course,
- 476
- 00:26:16,731 --> 00:26:18,564
- its own reward--
- cheap, immediate,
- 477
- 00:26:18,566 --> 00:26:20,633
- and disposable, as it is.
- 478
- 00:26:23,204 --> 00:26:24,536
- Sorry.
- 479
- 00:26:26,007 --> 00:26:28,240
- So you think it's O.K.
- for me to be unpopular?
- 480
- 00:26:28,242 --> 00:26:30,042
- Oh, I think it's necessary.
- 481
- 00:26:30,044 --> 00:26:32,244
- You're an unusual person.
- 482
- 00:26:32,246 --> 00:26:33,946
- I have few friends.
- 483
- 00:26:35,883 --> 00:26:38,017
- I hope I haven't
- hurt your feelings.
- 484
- 00:26:38,019 --> 00:26:41,220
- No. Thank you.
- 485
- 00:26:41,222 --> 00:26:45,224
- I hope we can talk again soon,
- but I have to ask, are you
- 486
- 00:26:45,226 --> 00:26:47,226
- religious, as well?
- 487
- 00:26:47,228 --> 00:26:48,560
- As well?
- 488
- 00:26:48,562 --> 00:26:50,496
- As Ned, my nephew,
- who introduced us.
- 489
- 00:26:50,498 --> 00:26:52,131
- You mean Edward?
- 490
- 00:26:52,133 --> 00:26:53,899
- We call him Ned.
- 491
- 00:26:53,901 --> 00:26:56,235
- Young Mr. Rifle?
- 492
- 00:26:56,237 --> 00:26:57,870
- That's my mother's maiden name.
- 493
- 00:26:57,872 --> 00:26:59,238
- He was advised to
- remain incognito.
- 494
- 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,806
- The son of Fay Grim?
- 495
- 00:27:00,808 --> 00:27:02,207
- And Henry Fool.
- 496
- 00:27:02,209 --> 00:27:03,876
- You're leaving?
- 497
- 00:27:03,878 --> 00:27:07,846
- Oh, I just...forgot
- I have to do something,
- 498
- 00:27:07,848 --> 00:27:09,848
- and no, I'm not religious.
- 499
- 00:27:09,850 --> 00:27:12,017
- Sorry. Thank you so much.
- 500
- 00:27:12,819 --> 00:27:13,786
- Come back soon.
- 501
- 00:27:13,888 --> 00:27:14,788
- I will.
- 502
- 00:27:15,890 --> 00:27:17,222
- Where's my friend
- Mr. Rifle?
- 503
- 00:27:17,224 --> 00:27:19,391
- Your room is paid for
- for the next 2 nights.
- 504
- 00:27:19,393 --> 00:27:20,859
- Where has he gone?
- 505
- 00:27:20,861 --> 00:27:22,861
- - I saw him hail a cab.
- - And?
- 506
- 00:27:22,863 --> 00:27:25,631
- He might've said something
- about La Guardia Airport.
- 507
- 00:27:36,844 --> 00:27:38,243
- Thank you.
- 508
- 00:27:45,353 --> 00:27:48,187
- What are you doing here?
- 509
- 00:27:48,189 --> 00:27:50,356
- My meeting with
- Simon Grim was amazing.
- 510
- 00:27:50,358 --> 00:27:52,458
- Thank you so much
- for setting it up.
- 511
- 00:27:52,460 --> 00:27:54,226
- Sure, sure, but you didn't
- have to come all the way out
- 512
- 00:27:54,228 --> 00:27:55,961
- here to thank me.
- 513
- 00:27:55,963 --> 00:27:57,363
- I mean, the room's paid up
- for a couple of nights.
- 514
- 00:27:57,365 --> 00:27:59,365
- I know, but I like you.
- 515
- 00:27:59,367 --> 00:28:00,833
- Oh, man.
- 516
- 00:28:00,835 --> 00:28:02,701
- - Do you have a girlfriend?
- - Stop.
- 517
- 00:28:02,703 --> 00:28:07,039
- I know I'm a little older than
- you, but I'm fun, and I know
- 518
- 00:28:07,041 --> 00:28:11,143
- a bunch of different languages,
- and I don't do drugs, and--
- 519
- 00:28:13,981 --> 00:28:15,848
- Why Seattle?
- 520
- 00:28:15,850 --> 00:28:18,283
- I have some business to
- do there for Simon Grim.
- 521
- 00:28:18,285 --> 00:28:19,985
- You don't work
- for Zach anymore?
- 522
- 00:28:19,987 --> 00:28:21,286
- No.
- 523
- 00:28:32,233 --> 00:28:33,932
- Dad?
- 524
- 00:28:43,244 --> 00:28:46,612
- Toothpaste, soap, shampoo.
- 525
- 00:28:46,614 --> 00:28:48,881
- Look at these towels.
- 526
- 00:28:48,883 --> 00:28:50,716
- You look fine.
- 527
- 00:28:50,718 --> 00:28:52,217
- Really?
- 528
- 00:28:52,219 --> 00:28:54,286
- You have no clothes but
- what you're wearing?
- 529
- 00:28:54,288 --> 00:28:57,156
- No, but I can get
- these laundered here.
- 530
- 00:28:57,158 --> 00:28:59,224
- Is that O.K.?
- 531
- 00:28:59,226 --> 00:29:01,960
- Go buy yourself some things.
- 532
- 00:29:01,962 --> 00:29:03,729
- I have to go meet someone.
- 533
- 00:29:03,731 --> 00:29:05,831
- Tomorrow, you can take
- me to the bookstore.
- 534
- 00:29:05,833 --> 00:29:07,366
- How long will you be?
- 535
- 00:29:07,368 --> 00:29:08,867
- Hard to tell.
- Don't wait up.
- 536
- 00:30:23,244 --> 00:30:24,977
- Fay.
- 537
- 00:30:24,979 --> 00:30:27,212
- So, listen, wiseguy, like I
- was saying last week--
- 538
- 00:30:27,214 --> 00:30:28,847
- Fay, hold on.
- 539
- 00:30:28,849 --> 00:30:30,215
- What? Did Ned come
- to see you yet?
- 540
- 00:30:30,217 --> 00:30:31,517
- Yeah, he did.
- 541
- 00:30:31,519 --> 00:30:32,985
- Hasn't he gotten tall?
- 542
- 00:30:32,987 --> 00:30:34,987
- He's, like, you know,
- a man and everything.
- 543
- 00:30:34,989 --> 00:30:36,221
- And he's Christian.
- 544
- 00:30:36,223 --> 00:30:37,656
- Yeah, right?
- 545
- 00:30:37,658 --> 00:30:39,558
- Where does he get
- that from, I wonder?
- 546
- 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,793
- Apparently, he's lived with a
- devout family these past 4 years.
- 547
- 00:30:41,795 --> 00:30:43,161
- You see, Simon,
- that's what I mean.
- 548
- 00:30:43,163 --> 00:30:45,230
- He's so damn
- impressionable, that kid.
- 549
- 00:30:45,232 --> 00:30:48,233
- But anyway, I think it's
- you he gets that from.
- 550
- 00:30:48,235 --> 00:30:51,003
- Me? I haven't been inside a
- church since you married Henry.
- 551
- 00:30:51,005 --> 00:30:52,237
- Yeah, well, it's how,
- like, people discuss you
- 552
- 00:30:52,239 --> 00:30:53,872
- and everything.
- 553
- 00:30:53,874 --> 00:30:57,042
- You're this weird kind of
- moral compass in a society
- 554
- 00:30:57,044 --> 00:30:58,944
- half convinced of its
- own worthlessness.
- 555
- 00:31:00,848 --> 00:31:02,147
- You don't sound like yourself.
- 556
- 00:31:02,149 --> 00:31:04,116
- Who have you been talking to?
- 557
- 00:31:04,118 --> 00:31:06,151
- Oh, this graduate student the publisher
- hired to write my autobiography
- 558
- 00:31:06,153 --> 00:31:08,120
- was here the other week.
- 559
- 00:31:08,122 --> 00:31:10,055
- She's got a truckload of ways
- to say how you've influenced
- 560
- 00:31:10,057 --> 00:31:11,723
- the zeitgeist and
- everything, Simon.
- 561
- 00:31:11,725 --> 00:31:14,660
- Really, I was impressed,
- but then I told her how I
- 562
- 00:31:14,662 --> 00:31:16,628
- always had to get you out
- of fights in high school.
- 563
- 00:31:16,630 --> 00:31:19,298
- Fay, listen, I need to talk to
- you about something important.
- 564
- 00:31:19,300 --> 00:31:22,034
- Oh, and, like, my autobiography
- is not important?
- 565
- 00:31:22,036 --> 00:31:25,203
- No, of course it is, but, Fay,
- did Henry ever tell you
- 566
- 00:31:25,205 --> 00:31:28,240
- about the girl he went to prison
- for having sexual relations with?
- 567
- 00:31:28,242 --> 00:31:30,242
- You mean, the 13-year-old
- girl he sexually molested?
- 568
- 00:31:30,244 --> 00:31:31,677
- Well, O.K., yes.
- 569
- 00:31:31,679 --> 00:31:32,911
- No.
- 570
- 00:31:32,913 --> 00:31:34,146
- Her name was Susan.
- 571
- 00:31:34,148 --> 00:31:35,714
- Do I really have to hear this?
- 572
- 00:31:35,716 --> 00:31:38,784
- Yes, because I believe I met
- this girl, Susan, yesterday.
- 573
- 00:31:38,786 --> 00:31:40,619
- What?
- 574
- 00:31:40,621 --> 00:31:42,321
- I mean, she's a woman,
- now, of course.
- 575
- 00:31:42,323 --> 00:31:44,890
- She's written this remarkable
- study of my work, or at least,
- 576
- 00:31:44,892 --> 00:31:47,125
- that aspect of my work which
- she feels, and I must admit,
- 577
- 00:31:47,127 --> 00:31:49,194
- she's onto something here,
- that aspect of my poetry that
- 578
- 00:31:49,196 --> 00:31:50,829
- centers on my
- friendship with Henry.
- 579
- 00:31:50,831 --> 00:31:52,864
- - That's odd.
- - Not really.
- 580
- 00:31:52,866 --> 00:31:56,034
- Unusual, yes, but an original and
- provocative reading of these poems and--
- 581
- 00:31:56,036 --> 00:32:01,707
- No, I mean, this graduate student
- who's writing a story of my life.
- 582
- 00:32:01,709 --> 00:32:03,508
- Her name is Susan, too.
- 583
- 00:32:03,510 --> 00:32:05,410
- What does she look like?
- 584
- 00:32:05,412 --> 00:32:08,513
- Early 30s, skinny,
- addicted to lipstick.
- 585
- 00:32:08,515 --> 00:32:12,451
- And the lipstick is not on,
- you know, correctly.
- 586
- 00:32:12,453 --> 00:32:14,686
- Exactly.
- She's kind of helpless.
- 587
- 00:32:14,688 --> 00:32:16,221
- Where did you meet her?
- 588
- 00:32:16,223 --> 00:32:17,556
- Well, that's the thing.
- 589
- 00:32:17,558 --> 00:32:19,024
- She was introduced
- to me by Ned.
- 590
- 00:32:19,026 --> 00:32:21,126
- - Uh-oh.
- - My feelings exactly.
- 591
- 00:32:21,128 --> 00:32:22,694
- Are you sure it's her?
- 592
- 00:32:22,696 --> 00:32:25,163
- Fay, she sat here and talked
- about my poems in a way that
- 593
- 00:32:25,165 --> 00:32:27,733
- only a person could if
- they knew Henry intimately.
- 594
- 00:32:27,735 --> 00:32:29,501
- You said she was with Ned?
- 595
- 00:32:29,503 --> 00:32:31,236
- He introduced her to me.
- 596
- 00:32:31,238 --> 00:32:33,238
- And, were they, like, together?
- 597
- 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,873
- I think so.
- 598
- 00:32:34,875 --> 00:32:36,241
- You know he's chaste, right?
- 599
- 00:32:36,243 --> 00:32:37,876
- Chaste?
- 600
- 00:32:37,878 --> 00:32:39,244
- Yeah, it means,
- you know, that, like--
- 601
- 00:32:39,246 --> 00:32:40,812
- I know what chaste means, Fay.
- 602
- 00:32:40,814 --> 00:32:43,215
- Well, what do you
- think she's up to?
- 603
- 00:32:43,217 --> 00:32:45,217
- It's hard to say.
- 604
- 00:32:45,219 --> 00:32:47,219
- I hope she's not a
- psycho killer or anything.
- 605
- 00:32:47,221 --> 00:32:49,287
- I was really enjoying
- our time together.
- 606
- 00:32:49,289 --> 00:32:54,292
- I'll talk to your publisher
- and see what I can find out.
- 607
- 00:33:01,802 --> 00:33:05,170
- I'll be over in Erotica
- if you need me.
- 608
- 00:33:05,172 --> 00:33:06,938
- Whatever.
- 609
- 00:33:09,243 --> 00:33:11,076
- Yeah?
- 610
- 00:33:11,078 --> 00:33:13,245
- Looking for a friend of mine
- who I think used to work here.
- 611
- 00:33:13,247 --> 00:33:15,447
- An older guy named Henry.
- 612
- 00:33:15,449 --> 00:33:17,149
- - Henry?
- - Loudmouth.
- 613
- 00:33:17,151 --> 00:33:18,617
- - Troublemaker?
- - Drunkard.
- 614
- 00:33:18,619 --> 00:33:20,218
- - Thief.
- - Egomaniac.
- 615
- 00:33:20,220 --> 00:33:21,653
- - Sex fiend?
- - That's him.
- 616
- 00:33:21,655 --> 00:33:22,988
- We fired him.
- 617
- 00:33:22,990 --> 00:33:24,222
- He's not allowed in
- the store anymore.
- 618
- 00:33:24,224 --> 00:33:25,957
- But he's around?
- 619
- 00:33:25,959 --> 00:33:27,893
- As far as I know, he's always
- at the topless bar down
- 620
- 00:33:27,895 --> 00:33:33,198
- the block with his pal, Bud, who's
- also not allowed in here anymore.
- 621
- 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:34,533
- You gonna buy that?
- 622
- 00:33:37,971 --> 00:33:41,473
- This is it, I guess.
- Wait here.
- 623
- 00:33:41,475 --> 00:33:43,208
- There's no way
- you're 21, buddy.
- 624
- 00:33:43,210 --> 00:33:45,911
- Oh, wait, I just need to go
- in and find somebody.
- 625
- 00:33:45,913 --> 00:33:47,245
- No matter, man.
- I can't let you in.
- 626
- 00:33:47,247 --> 00:33:49,681
- I'll go.
- 627
- 00:33:49,683 --> 00:33:51,216
- What's his name?
- 628
- 00:33:51,218 --> 00:33:53,185
- But she can go in?
- 629
- 00:33:53,187 --> 00:33:55,320
- Dude, it's a
- gentleman's club, O.K.?
- 630
- 00:33:55,322 --> 00:33:56,855
- Smokin' babes are
- always welcome.
- 631
- 00:33:56,857 --> 00:33:58,223
- I used to dance here.
- 632
- 00:33:58,225 --> 00:33:59,691
- No, when?
- 633
- 00:33:59,693 --> 00:34:00,992
- You were just a child.
- 634
- 00:34:00,994 --> 00:34:02,227
- Talk dirty to me.
- 635
- 00:34:02,229 --> 00:34:03,662
- What's his name?
- 636
- 00:34:03,664 --> 00:34:04,930
- Bud.
- 637
- 00:34:04,932 --> 00:34:06,865
- Bud?
- You're looking for Bud?
- 638
- 00:34:06,867 --> 00:34:08,500
- Right at the bar.
- 639
- 00:34:22,216 --> 00:34:23,849
- Bud?
- 640
- 00:34:23,851 --> 00:34:26,218
- I can't. Not now.
- 641
- 00:34:26,220 --> 00:34:27,919
- I'm working.
- 642
- 00:34:29,623 --> 00:34:31,857
- Dude, it's nothing personal.
- 643
- 00:34:31,859 --> 00:34:33,191
- What?
- 644
- 00:34:33,193 --> 00:34:35,293
- It's just the law.
- 645
- 00:34:35,295 --> 00:34:37,896
- There's a law
- higher than the law.
- 646
- 00:34:37,898 --> 00:34:39,831
- Really?
- 647
- 00:34:39,833 --> 00:34:41,500
- Do you think I'd ever want
- to go into a place like this
- 648
- 00:34:41,502 --> 00:34:43,001
- if I didn't have to?
- 649
- 00:34:43,003 --> 00:34:46,338
- I see. I was mistaken.
- Sorry, man.
- 650
- 00:34:46,340 --> 00:34:48,907
- Ned, this is Bud.
- 651
- 00:34:48,909 --> 00:34:50,308
- Bud, this is Ned.
- 652
- 00:34:52,246 --> 00:34:54,246
- You wanna talk to me?
- 653
- 00:34:54,248 --> 00:34:56,148
- Yeah.
- 654
- 00:34:56,150 --> 00:34:57,682
- About what?
- 655
- 00:34:57,684 --> 00:34:59,518
- Henry.
- 656
- 00:35:01,221 --> 00:35:02,954
- Buy me lunch.
- 657
- 00:35:02,956 --> 00:35:04,890
- No problem.
- 658
- 00:35:04,892 --> 00:35:08,293
- And, like, I'm gonna
- need some booze.
- 659
- 00:35:15,569 --> 00:35:17,969
- I send him his reading
- material, books I steal from
- 660
- 00:35:17,971 --> 00:35:19,371
- the library over here.
- 661
- 00:35:19,373 --> 00:35:21,540
- Where? Where do you send
- the reading material?
- 662
- 00:35:21,542 --> 00:35:25,010
- He took this job as a, I don't know,
- test case for some drug company
- 663
- 00:35:25,012 --> 00:35:27,846
- or something down
- outside of Portland, Oregon.
- 664
- 00:35:27,848 --> 00:35:29,114
- Do you have the address,
- the name of the place?
- 665
- 00:35:29,116 --> 00:35:31,183
- Ashbrook Pharmaceuticals.
- 666
- 00:35:31,185 --> 00:35:34,219
- Hey, you ain't, like--he don't
- owe you money or nothing, right?
- 667
- 00:35:34,221 --> 00:35:35,687
- No.
- 668
- 00:35:35,689 --> 00:35:37,222
- He didn't impregnate
- your sister or nothing?
- 669
- 00:35:37,224 --> 00:35:38,657
- I'm a friend.
- 670
- 00:35:38,659 --> 00:35:40,225
- 'Cause he's my
- teacher and shit.
- 671
- 00:35:40,227 --> 00:35:41,660
- I gotta watch his back.
- 672
- 00:35:41,662 --> 00:35:42,994
- Yeah?
- What did he teach you?
- 673
- 00:35:42,996 --> 00:35:44,229
- He taught me to write.
- 674
- 00:35:44,231 --> 00:35:46,164
- - Poetry, I guess.
- - Damn straight.
- 675
- 00:35:46,166 --> 00:35:48,366
- I was just a garbage man
- before Henry came to town.
- 676
- 00:35:48,368 --> 00:35:51,002
- Listen, thanks
- for talking to me.
- 677
- 00:35:51,004 --> 00:35:52,304
- I have to go.
- 678
- 00:35:52,306 --> 00:35:54,005
- What about my booze?
- 679
- 00:35:54,007 --> 00:35:56,241
- My friend will be here
- with it any minute now.
- 680
- 00:35:56,243 --> 00:35:57,976
- She your girl?
- 681
- 00:35:57,978 --> 00:35:59,244
- No.
- 682
- 00:35:59,246 --> 00:36:00,846
- Because I think
- she sorta digs me.
- 683
- 00:36:00,848 --> 00:36:02,848
- Yeah, I think so, too.
- 684
- 00:36:02,850 --> 00:36:04,149
- So, just wait here. Listen, don't
- tell her what we talked about O.K.?
- 685
- 00:36:04,151 --> 00:36:05,617
- Done.
- 686
- 00:36:05,619 --> 00:36:06,952
- Or where I'm headed.
- 687
- 00:36:06,954 --> 00:36:08,286
- Double done.
- 688
- 00:36:22,169 --> 00:36:23,635
- Mr. Grim.
- 689
- 00:36:23,637 --> 00:36:24,970
- Yes, hello. Simon.
- 690
- 00:36:24,972 --> 00:36:26,638
- Such an unexpected
- pleasure, really.
- 691
- 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,340
- Thank you for seeing me
- on such short notice.
- 692
- 00:36:28,342 --> 00:36:30,942
- Not at all, please, come on in.
- 693
- 00:36:33,247 --> 00:36:35,213
- Simon Grim.
- 694
- 00:36:35,215 --> 00:36:36,648
- I thought he was dead.
- 695
- 00:36:36,650 --> 00:36:37,883
- I know.
- 696
- 00:36:44,157 --> 00:36:45,390
- Wow, you're a sight
- for sore eyes.
- 697
- 00:36:45,392 --> 00:36:46,958
- Where's Ned?
- 698
- 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,393
- Ned? Ned who?
- Who's Ned?
- 699
- 00:36:48,395 --> 00:36:50,228
- Come on, Bud.
- We're friends, right?
- 700
- 00:36:50,230 --> 00:36:51,796
- Oh, yes.
- 701
- 00:36:51,798 --> 00:36:53,198
- I've been writing a
- poem about you even.
- 702
- 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:54,966
- So you have to tell
- me where Ned's gone.
- 703
- 00:36:54,968 --> 00:36:58,503
- But this poem, you see, requires
- a certain creatural detail.
- 704
- 00:36:58,505 --> 00:37:01,539
- The currency of lived
- experience, so to speak.
- 705
- 00:37:01,541 --> 00:37:04,075
- What's it about, this poem?
- 706
- 00:37:04,077 --> 00:37:05,310
- Your thigh.
- 707
- 00:37:05,312 --> 00:37:07,846
- Which one?
- 708
- 00:37:07,848 --> 00:37:10,215
- Wow, now there's an idea.
- 709
- 00:37:10,217 --> 00:37:11,917
- Bud, concentrate.
- 710
- 00:37:15,155 --> 00:37:16,521
- This one.
- 711
- 00:37:16,523 --> 00:37:18,523
- - You want to touch it?
- - I have to.
- 712
- 00:37:18,525 --> 00:37:20,458
- How long?
- 713
- 00:37:20,460 --> 00:37:24,863
- 60 seconds is the structural
- prerequisite of my poetic expression.
- 714
- 00:37:24,865 --> 00:37:27,465
- A formalist.
- 715
- 00:37:27,467 --> 00:37:30,869
- Interesting, but
- where has Ned gone?
- 716
- 00:37:30,871 --> 00:37:34,973
- Ashbrook Pharmaceuticals,
- Portland, Oregon.
- 717
- 00:37:34,975 --> 00:37:36,608
- O.K., let's do it.
- 718
- 00:37:44,618 --> 00:37:46,284
- I'm interested in the young
- woman you've hired to
- 719
- 00:37:46,286 --> 00:37:47,786
- ghost-write my sister's
- autobiography.
- 720
- 00:37:47,788 --> 00:37:49,654
- Susan.
- 721
- 00:37:49,656 --> 00:37:51,456
- It's come to my attention she's
- written a quite thorough
- 722
- 00:37:51,458 --> 00:37:52,857
- analysis of my own work.
- 723
- 00:37:52,859 --> 00:37:54,326
- Ah, yes.
- 724
- 00:37:54,328 --> 00:37:57,362
- Well, so you know
- about this then?
- 725
- 00:37:57,364 --> 00:37:58,697
- I was impressed.
- 726
- 00:37:58,699 --> 00:38:00,532
- Really, you've read it?
- 727
- 00:38:00,534 --> 00:38:02,334
- Yes, I'd like to
- know more about her.
- 728
- 00:38:02,336 --> 00:38:05,804
- She'd been writing movie
- reviews for a small, city-wide
- 729
- 00:38:05,806 --> 00:38:07,305
- entertainment guide.
- 730
- 00:38:07,307 --> 00:38:09,808
- She developed quite a
- following because, well,
- 731
- 00:38:09,810 --> 00:38:12,344
- because no matter what she
- was reviewing, it always came
- 732
- 00:38:12,346 --> 00:38:14,245
- around to a discussion
- of your poetry.
- 733
- 00:38:14,247 --> 00:38:15,780
- I see.
- 734
- 00:38:15,782 --> 00:38:17,115
- It's quite hilariously
- obsessive.
- 735
- 00:38:17,117 --> 00:38:19,017
- But well-written?
- 736
- 00:38:19,019 --> 00:38:20,819
- One couldn't fault the
- grammar, but the irony was
- 737
- 00:38:20,821 --> 00:38:22,187
- a bit too intense for me.
- 738
- 00:38:22,189 --> 00:38:24,222
- Nevertheless, she became
- popularly associated
- 739
- 00:38:24,224 --> 00:38:26,825
- with you and Fay,
- the infamous Grims.
- 740
- 00:38:26,827 --> 00:38:28,827
- So when I had this idea
- for the Fay autobiography,
- 741
- 00:38:28,829 --> 00:38:30,328
- I thought, of course.
- 742
- 00:38:30,330 --> 00:38:33,231
- Get this well-read, fringe
- iconoclast to ghost it.
- 743
- 00:38:33,233 --> 00:38:36,234
- That turned out to be more
- difficult than I anticipated.
- 744
- 00:38:36,236 --> 00:38:38,970
- Why?
- 745
- 00:38:38,972 --> 00:38:41,539
- Because she was, as
- I should've expected,
- 746
- 00:38:41,541 --> 00:38:43,475
- in a mental hospital.
- 747
- 00:38:43,477 --> 00:38:44,843
- Ah.
- 748
- 00:38:44,845 --> 00:38:49,280
- Olive, tell Simon
- here about Susan.
- 749
- 00:38:49,282 --> 00:38:53,551
- She presented her dissertation
- at Columbia University and--
- 750
- 00:38:53,553 --> 00:38:55,387
- Go ahead.
- 751
- 00:38:55,389 --> 00:38:59,224
- Well, Mr. Grim, it was, of course,
- a dissertation on your poetry.
- 752
- 00:38:59,226 --> 00:39:00,925
- I understand.
- 753
- 00:39:02,863 --> 00:39:06,331
- They refused outright to grant
- her diploma, and apparently,
- 754
- 00:39:06,333 --> 00:39:08,733
- she had a nervous
- breakdown and stabbed her
- 755
- 00:39:08,735 --> 00:39:10,902
- academic advisor.
- 756
- 00:39:10,904 --> 00:39:13,338
- So, she's violent.
- 757
- 00:39:13,340 --> 00:39:14,873
- Turns out, she's been in and
- out of psychiatric care
- 758
- 00:39:14,875 --> 00:39:16,474
- since she was 13.
- 759
- 00:39:16,476 --> 00:39:18,643
- The charges were
- eventually dropped.
- 760
- 00:39:18,645 --> 00:39:21,813
- She's a loaded pistol,
- Simon, and I like that.
- 761
- 00:39:21,815 --> 00:39:23,448
- Comes across in her prose.
- 762
- 00:39:23,450 --> 00:39:26,851
- Biting, precise, and,
- well, yes, obsessive.
- 763
- 00:39:26,853 --> 00:39:28,186
- When will you see her next?
- 764
- 00:39:28,188 --> 00:39:29,854
- Us? Oh, we never see her.
- 765
- 00:39:29,856 --> 00:39:32,457
- She transcribes her interviews
- with Fay each week, reworks
- 766
- 00:39:32,459 --> 00:39:34,325
- them into chapters,
- and emails them to me.
- 767
- 00:39:34,327 --> 00:39:35,860
- We're about a third of the
- way through the book.
- 768
- 00:39:35,862 --> 00:39:37,128
- It's incendiary.
- 769
- 00:39:37,130 --> 00:39:38,630
- It'll be huge.
- 770
- 00:39:38,632 --> 00:39:40,231
- We're negotiating with
- the penitentiary to get
- 771
- 00:39:40,233 --> 00:39:41,866
- a photo shoot done with Fay.
- 772
- 00:39:41,868 --> 00:39:43,735
- Esquire's on board,
- maybe GQ, Vanity Fair.
- 773
- 00:39:43,737 --> 00:39:46,004
- And the controversy is more
- than likely to generate
- 774
- 00:39:46,006 --> 00:39:48,239
- a renewed interest in
- even your work, Mr. Grim.
- 775
- 00:39:48,241 --> 00:39:49,808
- Good thinking, Olive.
- 776
- 00:39:49,810 --> 00:39:53,044
- Simon, who are you with
- these days? Anyone?
- 777
- 00:39:59,352 --> 00:40:01,419
- Fay, you have a visitor.
- 778
- 00:40:23,243 --> 00:40:24,943
- Please have a seat.
- 779
- 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,121
- My name is Daniel.
- Reverend Gardner.
- 780
- 00:40:36,123 --> 00:40:39,390
- Ned may have
- mentioned me to you.
- 781
- 00:40:39,392 --> 00:40:41,226
- Yes.
- 782
- 00:40:41,228 --> 00:40:44,829
- If I may say so, Fay,
- Ned is like a son to me.
- 783
- 00:40:44,831 --> 00:40:48,233
- Me too.
- 784
- 00:40:48,235 --> 00:40:51,402
- Fay, I believe Ned intends
- to do something terrible.
- 785
- 00:40:51,404 --> 00:40:53,738
- Oh, man.
- 786
- 00:40:53,740 --> 00:40:56,241
- He loves you very much.
- 787
- 00:40:56,243 --> 00:40:59,177
- Of course he does.
- 788
- 00:40:59,179 --> 00:41:01,813
- What do you mean by that?
- 789
- 00:41:01,815 --> 00:41:04,716
- It means he'll kill the man
- he thinks is responsible
- 790
- 00:41:04,718 --> 00:41:06,618
- for your incarceration.
- 791
- 00:41:10,991 --> 00:41:12,457
- Henry?
- 792
- 00:41:12,459 --> 00:41:13,958
- Fool.
- 793
- 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,226
- With an "e"?
- 794
- 00:41:15,228 --> 00:41:16,928
- Could be.
- 795
- 00:41:19,366 --> 00:41:21,566
- The man you describe is here.
- 796
- 00:41:21,568 --> 00:41:23,501
- Can I see him?
- 797
- 00:41:23,503 --> 00:41:25,703
- You say he's your father.
- 798
- 00:41:25,705 --> 00:41:27,338
- Yes.
- 799
- 00:41:27,340 --> 00:41:29,340
- He's been here for a
- little over a year.
- 800
- 00:41:29,342 --> 00:41:32,177
- He replied to an ad we
- placed asking for volunteers
- 801
- 00:41:32,179 --> 00:41:35,246
- on the testing of certain
- drugs we were developing.
- 802
- 00:41:35,248 --> 00:41:37,715
- However, we were advised to
- cease experimenting with these
- 803
- 00:41:37,717 --> 00:41:41,319
- particular medications, but by
- then, unfortunately, Henry had
- 804
- 00:41:41,321 --> 00:41:42,854
- begun to exhibit side effects.
- 805
- 00:41:42,856 --> 00:41:44,389
- Like what?
- 806
- 00:41:44,391 --> 00:41:49,027
- Well, there are certain
- physio-optical manifestations.
- 807
- 00:41:49,029 --> 00:41:50,562
- He sees things?
- 808
- 00:41:50,564 --> 00:41:53,331
- Yes, which, of course, is not
- entirely unusual under
- 809
- 00:41:53,333 --> 00:41:57,135
- the circumstances of the
- experiment, but anyway, he has
- 810
- 00:41:57,137 --> 00:42:00,638
- no legal right to compensation
- in that regard.
- 811
- 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,142
- However, there is the issue
- of his delusions, typically
- 812
- 00:42:04,144 --> 00:42:08,046
- a symptom of mental disorder,
- which, honestly, we should've
- 813
- 00:42:08,048 --> 00:42:10,114
- done due diligence in
- detecting before we agreed to
- 814
- 00:42:10,116 --> 00:42:12,050
- have him participate.
- 815
- 00:42:12,052 --> 00:42:14,819
- This, you see, could
- expose the laboratory to
- 816
- 00:42:14,821 --> 00:42:16,387
- legal action.
- 817
- 00:42:16,389 --> 00:42:18,223
- And what's his delusion?
- 818
- 00:42:18,225 --> 00:42:24,796
- He believes, apparently with
- perfect sincerity, that he is,
- 819
- 00:42:24,798 --> 00:42:26,064
- well, the devil.
- 820
- 00:42:27,834 --> 00:42:30,301
- - Are you O.K.?
- - It's all right.
- 821
- 00:42:36,243 --> 00:42:37,875
- Yes, sir.
- 822
- 00:42:37,877 --> 00:42:39,244
- Have you seen that young woman
- around, the young lady who
- 823
- 00:42:39,246 --> 00:42:40,912
- hangs out down here?
- 824
- 00:42:40,914 --> 00:42:42,247
- That would be your
- stalker, Mr. Grim.
- 825
- 00:42:42,249 --> 00:42:44,682
- Well, yeah, I guess so.
- Susan.
- 826
- 00:42:44,684 --> 00:42:46,851
- She left yesterday,
- following the young man.
- 827
- 00:42:46,853 --> 00:42:48,219
- Young man?
- 828
- 00:42:48,221 --> 00:42:50,154
- Mr. Rifle.
- 829
- 00:42:50,156 --> 00:42:51,489
- Where?
- 830
- 00:42:51,491 --> 00:42:52,857
- To the airport.
- 831
- 00:42:52,859 --> 00:42:55,360
- In fact, Mr. Grim, you
- have another visitor.
- 832
- 00:42:57,330 --> 00:43:01,232
- As delusions go,
- it's a remarkable narrative.
- 833
- 00:43:01,234 --> 00:43:04,002
- To be perfectly accurate,
- he claims he's the devil's
- 834
- 00:43:04,004 --> 00:43:07,171
- number-one assistant, or was.
- 835
- 00:43:07,173 --> 00:43:10,241
- He was born into the human realm
- in 1591 to run riot during the--
- 836
- 00:43:10,243 --> 00:43:11,909
- Can you throw him out?
- 837
- 00:43:11,911 --> 00:43:13,711
- No, our lawyers have indicated,
- that would cast a bad
- 838
- 00:43:13,713 --> 00:43:15,313
- light on our situation.
- 839
- 00:43:15,315 --> 00:43:16,714
- Let me talk to him.
- 840
- 00:43:16,716 --> 00:43:19,150
- I'll convince him to leave,
- on his own.
- 841
- 00:43:19,452 --> 00:43:21,919
- You don't look so
- good all of a sudden.
- 842
- 00:43:25,024 --> 00:43:25,824
- Oh, man.
- 843
- 00:43:28,426 --> 00:43:29,859
- Is this a problem?
- 844
- 00:43:33,199 --> 00:43:36,367
- I'll be with you in a minute.
- 845
- 00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:41,873
- What are you doing here?
- 846
- 00:43:41,875 --> 00:43:43,308
- I'm supposed to help you.
- 847
- 00:43:46,813 --> 00:43:48,846
- I didn't ask you to.
- 848
- 00:44:00,060 --> 00:44:01,793
- I'm sorry.
- 849
- 00:44:01,795 --> 00:44:04,462
- You don't look good.
- What's wrong?
- 850
- 00:44:04,464 --> 00:44:06,631
- I was up all night driving.
- 851
- 00:44:06,633 --> 00:44:08,466
- I haven't slept.
- 852
- 00:44:08,468 --> 00:44:10,001
- What happened to your hand?
- 853
- 00:44:10,003 --> 00:44:13,738
- Look, my father's
- a patient in here.
- 854
- 00:44:13,740 --> 00:44:17,308
- I haven't seen him since
- I was a little kid.
- 855
- 00:44:20,246 --> 00:44:25,049
- O.K., I'll stay here.
- Do what you have to do.
- 856
- 00:44:25,051 --> 00:44:26,884
- I'm O.K., right here.
- 857
- 00:44:26,886 --> 00:44:30,121
- Mr. Rifle, they're
- ready for us.
- 858
- 00:44:54,881 --> 00:44:56,848
- Don't be taken in.
- 859
- 00:44:56,850 --> 00:44:58,216
- He's a great tragic actor.
- 860
- 00:44:58,218 --> 00:44:59,851
- The drama never stops.
- 861
- 00:44:59,853 --> 00:45:01,219
- Just wait here.
- 862
- 00:45:01,221 --> 00:45:04,222
- Auf Wiedersehen, mademoiselles.
- 863
- 00:45:04,224 --> 00:45:06,157
- Dr. Ford, is it
- Thursday already?
- 864
- 00:45:06,159 --> 00:45:07,959
- Henry, who were those women?
- 865
- 00:45:07,961 --> 00:45:10,027
- Local pilgrims seeking wisdom.
- 866
- 00:45:10,029 --> 00:45:11,562
- Whoa, hold on.
- 867
- 00:45:11,564 --> 00:45:13,464
- You dismantled the alarm
- on the fire door again.
- 868
- 00:45:13,466 --> 00:45:14,899
- Look, I have to
- smoke someplace.
- 869
- 00:45:15,501 --> 00:45:16,868
- I know where you live, asshole.
- 870
- 00:45:16,870 --> 00:45:19,871
- Who's the winsome tart with the
- humorless youth over there?
- 871
- 00:45:19,873 --> 00:45:21,339
- Henry, please.
- 872
- 00:45:21,341 --> 00:45:23,174
- Doctor, I can't work
- under these conditions.
- 873
- 00:45:23,176 --> 00:45:26,177
- My point exactly, why do you
- insist on remaining here?
- 874
- 00:45:30,216 --> 00:45:32,817
- Thank you for this
- information, Reverend.
- 875
- 00:45:32,819 --> 00:45:34,218
- Of course.
- 876
- 00:45:34,220 --> 00:45:35,987
- Hopefully, we can reach
- him before he does
- 877
- 00:45:35,989 --> 00:45:37,288
- anything irreparable.
- 878
- 00:45:40,527 --> 00:45:43,294
- It's him.
- 879
- 00:45:43,296 --> 00:45:44,829
- You sure?
- 880
- 00:45:44,831 --> 00:45:46,063
- Yes.
- 881
- 00:45:46,065 --> 00:45:47,799
- And you'll talk to him?
- 882
- 00:45:47,801 --> 00:45:49,967
- I'll come back tomorrow.
- 883
- 00:45:49,969 --> 00:45:52,170
- I'll only tell him to
- expect a visitor.
- 884
- 00:45:52,172 --> 00:45:54,939
- I'll leave the rest to you.
- 885
- 00:46:10,223 --> 00:46:11,689
- Come on.
- 886
- 00:46:11,691 --> 00:46:16,294
- They gave me the name of
- a motel down the road.
- 887
- 00:46:28,241 --> 00:46:31,476
- I'm sorry, we actually only
- have one single room available.
- 888
- 00:46:31,478 --> 00:46:33,644
- O.K., a double is O.K.
- 889
- 00:46:33,646 --> 00:46:36,180
- Yeah, we don't have
- any doubles either.
- 890
- 00:46:36,182 --> 00:46:38,783
- In fact, we just have
- the one room, a single.
- 891
- 00:46:59,506 --> 00:47:02,306
- Go on, get some sleep.
- 892
- 00:47:02,308 --> 00:47:04,876
- No, I have to--
- I have to go.
- 893
- 00:47:09,448 --> 00:47:10,950
- You have to go pray?
- 894
- 00:47:12,552 --> 00:47:16,153
- Yeah.
- 895
- 00:47:16,155 --> 00:47:19,557
- You'll have to tell
- me about that one day.
- 896
- 00:47:19,559 --> 00:47:23,561
- What's to tell?
- 897
- 00:47:23,563 --> 00:47:26,931
- How it feels to have
- someone listening.
- 898
- 00:47:29,569 --> 00:47:33,304
- Defend me, O God, thy
- humble servant in all assaults
- 899
- 00:47:33,306 --> 00:47:40,011
- of the enemy, that I, surely
- trusting in thy defense,
- 900
- 00:47:40,013 --> 00:47:44,715
- may not fear the power
- of the adversary,
- 901
- 00:47:44,717 --> 00:47:47,618
- that the words of my mouth
- and the meditation of my heart
- 902
- 00:47:47,620 --> 00:47:50,821
- be always acceptable
- in thy sight.
- 903
- 00:47:50,823 --> 00:47:54,292
- O Lord, my strength
- and my redeemer.
- 904
- 00:48:56,222 --> 00:48:58,856
- You want to come in and take a
- shower and brush your teeth?
- 905
- 00:48:58,858 --> 00:49:01,392
- What? Yeah. Sure.
- 906
- 00:49:01,394 --> 00:49:03,227
- You should've slept with me.
- 907
- 00:49:03,229 --> 00:49:05,129
- I wouldn't have done
- anything scandalous.
- 908
- 00:49:05,131 --> 00:49:06,797
- Promise.
- 909
- 00:49:06,799 --> 00:49:09,000
- Got the key?
- 910
- 00:49:09,002 --> 00:49:10,301
- I've got your purse.
- 911
- 00:49:43,202 --> 00:49:47,672
- "How, may I ask, have
- I offended thee?"
- 912
- 00:49:47,674 --> 00:49:49,407
- Why ask me that?
- 913
- 00:49:49,409 --> 00:49:52,209
- It's just something
- written here.
- 914
- 00:49:52,211 --> 00:49:53,878
- A lovely phrase, I think.
- 915
- 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:55,546
- It speaks to me.
- 916
- 00:49:55,548 --> 00:49:57,815
- Where's the young lady?
- 917
- 00:49:57,817 --> 00:49:59,216
- What is all this?
- 918
- 00:49:59,218 --> 00:50:02,319
- History, European mostly,
- Renaissance and some
- 919
- 00:50:02,321 --> 00:50:04,289
- remarkably incriminating
- correspondence between
- 920
- 00:50:04,291 --> 00:50:07,892
- the Vatican and the Spanish king
- from the early 16th century.
- 921
- 00:50:07,894 --> 00:50:10,728
- No one's ever thought to
- put it all in order.
- 922
- 00:50:10,730 --> 00:50:13,998
- Some local antiquarian died,
- and his moronic heirs donated
- 923
- 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,232
- it to this place.
- 924
- 00:50:15,234 --> 00:50:16,867
- Imagine.
- 925
- 00:50:16,869 --> 00:50:18,235
- You don't recognize me?
- 926
- 00:50:18,237 --> 00:50:20,471
- No. Should I?
- 927
- 00:50:23,009 --> 00:50:25,309
- I'm your son.
- 928
- 00:50:25,311 --> 00:50:27,878
- Listen, kid, I have
- lots of offspring.
- 929
- 00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,014
- They're, you know, legion.
- 930
- 00:50:30,016 --> 00:50:31,849
- You gotta do better than that.
- 931
- 00:50:31,851 --> 00:50:33,284
- I'm Ned.
- 932
- 00:50:42,829 --> 00:50:45,229
- Fay's kid.
- 933
- 00:50:45,231 --> 00:50:46,931
- Yeah.
- 934
- 00:50:54,741 --> 00:50:57,942
- I suppose you've
- come to kill me.
- 935
- 00:51:20,633 --> 00:51:23,334
- I hear she's got
- a life sentence.
- 936
- 00:51:23,336 --> 00:51:25,302
- No parole, all that.
- 937
- 00:51:25,304 --> 00:51:28,305
- Why did she come
- looking for me?
- 938
- 00:51:29,976 --> 00:51:33,644
- She thought your life was in
- danger, people were trying
- 939
- 00:51:33,646 --> 00:51:35,079
- to kill you.
- 940
- 00:51:35,081 --> 00:51:37,314
- You should've talked
- her out of it.
- 941
- 00:51:37,316 --> 00:51:39,216
- She thought she was
- doing it for my sake.
- 942
- 00:51:39,218 --> 00:51:41,018
- For your sake?
- 943
- 00:51:41,020 --> 00:51:44,855
- Yeah, like, I needed a
- father figure or something.
- 944
- 00:51:44,857 --> 00:51:50,895
- I'm a wanted criminal,
- a known felon, a murderer.
- 945
- 00:51:50,897 --> 00:51:52,296
- I mean, I'm not apologizing,
- 946
- 00:51:52,298 --> 00:51:53,898
- but really, I know why.
- 947
- 00:51:53,900 --> 00:51:55,699
- I mean, really, why.
- 948
- 00:51:55,701 --> 00:51:59,503
- I hope I don't offend you, son,
- but your mother has very
- 949
- 00:51:59,505 --> 00:52:02,873
- complicated, perverse, and
- deeply repressed sexual needs
- 950
- 00:52:02,875 --> 00:52:06,277
- which, I, in my generosity, was
- able to intuit and satisfy.
- 951
- 00:52:06,279 --> 00:52:07,745
- She's never gotten over it.
- 952
- 00:52:07,747 --> 00:52:09,446
- Sue me.
- You gonna drink that?
- 953
- 00:52:14,387 --> 00:52:18,689
- You, as it turns out, are the
- fruit of that liberation.
- 954
- 00:52:18,691 --> 00:52:20,391
- A son of the devil.
- 955
- 00:52:20,393 --> 00:52:23,294
- You've been talking
- with Dr. Ford.
- 956
- 00:52:29,969 --> 00:52:33,637
- Listen, Ned--can
- I call you Ned?
- 957
- 00:52:33,639 --> 00:52:36,240
- I've got these mercenary
- quacks by the cojones like
- 958
- 00:52:36,242 --> 00:52:37,875
- nobody's business.
- 959
- 00:52:37,877 --> 00:52:39,176
- I mean, really, these guys are
- 960
- 00:52:39,178 --> 00:52:42,313
- stinking of sin. You?
- 961
- 00:52:42,315 --> 00:52:44,181
- I am, in fact,
- suffering certain,
- 962
- 00:52:44,183 --> 00:52:46,784
- definite side effects from
- this amalgamation of chemicals
- 963
- 00:52:46,786 --> 00:52:48,886
- they were feeding me,
- the constituent elements
- 964
- 00:52:48,888 --> 00:52:52,223
- of which are not even--
- 965
- 00:52:52,225 --> 00:52:54,225
- Did you see that?
- 966
- 00:52:54,227 --> 00:52:55,926
- No.
- 967
- 00:52:58,564 --> 00:53:03,067
- The point is, this is
- not really a bad place.
- 968
- 00:53:03,069 --> 00:53:05,736
- What with the library here,
- and the park and the regular
- 969
- 00:53:05,738 --> 00:53:08,172
- meals, all I've got to do is
- pretend I'm insane once or
- 970
- 00:53:08,174 --> 00:53:10,507
- twice a week and tell them
- this cock-and-bull story
- 971
- 00:53:10,509 --> 00:53:12,376
- about being the
- devil or whatever.
- 972
- 00:53:12,378 --> 00:53:14,645
- This cache of Renaissance
- lit has provided me
- 973
- 00:53:14,647 --> 00:53:17,715
- with a treasure trove of
- dates and places and names.
- 974
- 00:53:17,717 --> 00:53:19,850
- These assholes are terrified.
- 975
- 00:53:21,220 --> 00:53:24,521
- Look, mom wants me to get
- you out of here
- 976
- 00:53:24,523 --> 00:53:25,856
- and bring you home.
- 977
- 00:53:25,858 --> 00:53:27,892
- Home?
- 978
- 00:53:27,894 --> 00:53:30,194
- How can we have a home when she's
- in prison the rest of her life?
- 979
- 00:53:30,196 --> 00:53:32,329
- She wants me, you, and Uncle
- Simon to live nearby and go
- 980
- 00:53:32,331 --> 00:53:33,797
- visit her all the time.
- 981
- 00:53:33,799 --> 00:53:35,466
- I'm sorry, I'll do
- anything for Fay,
- 982
- 00:53:35,468 --> 00:53:36,967
- but I can't live with Simon.
- 983
- 00:53:36,969 --> 00:53:39,003
- That man is a disgrace.
- 984
- 00:53:40,873 --> 00:53:43,240
- A publisher has paid her
- to write her autobiography.
- 985
- 00:53:43,242 --> 00:53:46,143
- She wants your help.
- 986
- 00:53:46,145 --> 00:53:48,078
- Really?
- 987
- 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,048
- Yeah, she said so herself that
- Simon couldn't have written
- 988
- 00:53:51,050 --> 00:53:52,816
- a thing if not for you.
- 989
- 00:53:52,818 --> 00:53:55,352
- Well, that's right.
- 990
- 00:53:55,354 --> 00:53:59,690
- Exactly, that ungrateful
- climber, and now with this
- 991
- 00:53:59,692 --> 00:54:01,859
- blog and the sketch comedy,
- where will it end?
- 992
- 00:54:01,861 --> 00:54:03,227
- It hurts to witness this.
- 993
- 00:54:03,229 --> 00:54:04,895
- Who does he think he is?
- Jerry Lewis?
- 994
- 00:54:04,897 --> 00:54:07,231
- I've got--wait a minute.
- Hold on.
- 995
- 00:54:09,235 --> 00:54:10,935
- Fuck.
- 996
- 00:54:14,573 --> 00:54:18,742
- I've got a passage in here
- somewhere about, you know,
- 997
- 00:54:18,744 --> 00:54:20,878
- about Simon's passive-
- aggressive will to power,
- 998
- 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,013
- and here it is.
- 999
- 00:54:23,015 --> 00:54:27,017
- No, well, it's not about
- Simon, but it pertains.
- 1000
- 00:54:27,019 --> 00:54:30,220
- Anyway, I need someone to
- help me get all this in order.
- 1001
- 00:54:30,222 --> 00:54:31,488
- Can you type?
- 1002
- 00:54:31,490 --> 00:54:33,223
- No. So are you coming?
- 1003
- 00:54:33,225 --> 00:54:35,659
- How will we get there?
- 1004
- 00:54:35,661 --> 00:54:38,862
- I am, as it were, a wanted man.
- 1005
- 00:54:38,864 --> 00:54:40,631
- We'll drive.
- 1006
- 00:54:40,633 --> 00:54:42,032
- Cross-country?
- 1007
- 00:54:42,034 --> 00:54:43,801
- Yeah.
- 1008
- 00:54:43,803 --> 00:54:45,869
- Will the young lady be coming?
- 1009
- 00:54:45,871 --> 00:54:48,339
- Probably.
- 1010
- 00:54:48,341 --> 00:54:49,807
- Is she your girlfriend?
- 1011
- 00:54:51,243 --> 00:54:53,177
- We're just friends.
- 1012
- 00:54:53,179 --> 00:54:56,880
- I'm warning you, kid,
- exteriors notwithstanding,
- 1013
- 00:54:56,882 --> 00:54:58,882
- girls just sorta
- can't resist me.
- 1014
- 00:54:58,884 --> 00:55:01,318
- That must be a major hassle.
- 1015
- 00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:05,055
- I just don't want any unnecessary
- resentment, if you know what I mean.
- 1016
- 00:55:05,057 --> 00:55:06,423
- This all you got?
- 1017
- 00:55:06,425 --> 00:55:07,825
- I'll need my own room.
- 1018
- 00:55:07,827 --> 00:55:09,493
- Fine. Come on.
- 1019
- 00:55:09,495 --> 00:55:11,528
- Wait up.
- I gotta get dressed.
- 1020
- 00:55:28,581 --> 00:55:30,414
- Where are we?
- 1021
- 00:55:30,416 --> 00:55:32,116
- I thought you said the motel
- was just down the road?
- 1022
- 00:55:32,118 --> 00:55:33,851
- It's not far.
- 1023
- 00:55:33,853 --> 00:55:36,220
- To be fair, Simon's third and
- fourth books were pretty good,
- 1024
- 00:55:36,222 --> 00:55:37,721
- and I hadn't seen him in years.
- 1025
- 00:55:37,723 --> 00:55:39,223
- I read them in translation,
- of course, being
- 1026
- 00:55:39,225 --> 00:55:40,791
- in exile and everything.
- 1027
- 00:55:40,793 --> 00:55:42,659
- It's clear he allowed
- himself to be influenced by
- 1028
- 00:55:42,661 --> 00:55:45,129
- the dynamics of his own
- notoriety, so to speak.
- 1029
- 00:55:45,131 --> 00:55:47,331
- Can you hold that farther away?
- 1030
- 00:55:47,333 --> 00:55:49,066
- Don't you agree?
- 1031
- 00:55:49,068 --> 00:55:50,634
- About what?
- 1032
- 00:55:50,636 --> 00:55:52,069
- Simon's third and fourth books.
- 1033
- 00:55:52,071 --> 00:55:53,904
- - I don't read poetry.
- - What do you read?
- 1034
- 00:55:53,906 --> 00:55:55,472
- I read what really matters.
- 1035
- 00:55:55,474 --> 00:55:57,374
- Oh, you mean like
- The New York Times?
- 1036
- 00:55:57,376 --> 00:55:59,309
- No.
- 1037
- 00:55:59,311 --> 00:56:00,878
- No, shit, you're
- a God-fearing man?
- 1038
- 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:02,246
- You got a problem with that?
- 1039
- 00:56:02,248 --> 00:56:03,814
- Find someplace to pull over.
- 1040
- 00:56:03,816 --> 00:56:05,249
- What?
- 1041
- 00:56:05,251 --> 00:56:06,850
- Gotta pee.
- 1042
- 00:57:31,871 --> 00:57:33,370
- "Coffee product."
- 1043
- 00:57:33,372 --> 00:57:35,038
- It's free.
- 1044
- 00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,241
- The donuts were
- fresh this morning.
- 1045
- 00:57:37,243 --> 00:57:38,876
- Hi.
- 1046
- 00:57:38,878 --> 00:57:41,345
- Oh, this is quaint
- in a desperate sort of way.
- 1047
- 00:57:41,347 --> 00:57:43,514
- Ah, we meet finally.
- 1048
- 00:57:43,516 --> 00:57:46,483
- That's a fetching ensemble.
- 1049
- 00:57:46,485 --> 00:57:48,952
- - There's free coffee product.
- - Is there?
- 1050
- 00:57:48,954 --> 00:57:50,954
- - And semi-fresh donuts.
- - Excellent.
- 1051
- 00:57:50,956 --> 00:57:53,123
- Ned, are you going to
- introduce us, or did your
- 1052
- 00:57:53,125 --> 00:57:54,391
- mother teach you
- no manners at all?
- 1053
- 00:57:54,393 --> 00:57:56,860
- - This is Susan.
- - Fascinating.
- 1054
- 00:57:56,862 --> 00:57:58,829
- Come on. We're leaving.
- 1055
- 00:57:58,831 --> 00:58:01,565
- Soldier of God or not,
- that kid's got a hair
- 1056
- 00:58:01,567 --> 00:58:03,000
- across his ass.
- 1057
- 00:58:03,002 --> 00:58:04,935
- Yes, he's very devout.
- 1058
- 00:58:04,937 --> 00:58:06,170
- Maybe we should get some donuts
- 1059
- 00:58:06,172 --> 00:58:07,638
- for the road, huh?
- 1060
- 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:09,373
- Can I hold that for you?
- 1061
- 00:58:09,375 --> 00:58:12,075
- Guard it with your life,
- young lady.
- 1062
- 00:58:12,077 --> 00:58:14,578
- Is this the confessions?
- 1063
- 00:58:14,580 --> 00:58:17,881
- I see my reputation
- has preceded me.
- 1064
- 00:58:17,883 --> 00:58:21,218
- I did my graduate dissertation
- on the work of Simon Grim.
- 1065
- 00:58:21,220 --> 00:58:22,486
- Is that so?
- 1066
- 00:58:22,488 --> 00:58:24,988
- Yes, and because
- of that, I guess,
- 1067
- 00:58:24,990 --> 00:58:27,858
- I was hired to ghost-write
- your wife's autobiography.
- 1068
- 00:58:27,860 --> 00:58:29,560
- Oh, you're practically family.
- 1069
- 00:58:29,562 --> 00:58:31,461
- That's not sugar.
- That's Sweet'N Low.
- 1070
- 00:58:31,463 --> 00:58:32,729
- The sugar's right there.
- 1071
- 00:58:32,731 --> 00:58:34,164
- Well, that's good.
- 1072
- 00:58:34,166 --> 00:58:35,866
- Fay can't spell
- to save her life.
- 1073
- 00:58:35,868 --> 00:58:37,234
- Do you type?
- 1074
- 00:58:37,236 --> 00:58:39,403
- Very well, and I'm
- a great copy editor.
- 1075
- 00:58:39,405 --> 00:58:40,904
- I can use some help with this.
- 1076
- 00:58:40,906 --> 00:58:44,141
- I'd love to.
- I mean, if that's O.K.
- 1077
- 00:58:44,143 --> 00:58:46,476
- Good, it needs some--
- 1078
- 00:58:46,478 --> 00:58:49,880
- Oh, did you see that?
- 1079
- 00:58:49,882 --> 00:58:51,315
- No.
- 1080
- 00:58:55,221 --> 00:58:58,288
- You remind me of someone.
- 1081
- 00:59:05,130 --> 00:59:06,797
- O.K., O.K.!
- 1082
- 00:59:06,799 --> 00:59:08,532
- He hates me, of course.
- 1083
- 00:59:08,534 --> 00:59:11,168
- So embarrassingly oedipal.
- 1084
- 00:59:11,170 --> 00:59:12,936
- Come on.
- 1085
- 00:59:15,241 --> 00:59:16,873
- So, it's like this.
- 1086
- 00:59:16,875 --> 00:59:19,409
- In the infinite amplitude of
- his love, God wants to create
- 1087
- 00:59:19,411 --> 00:59:21,245
- the largest number of best
- elements that can exist
- 1088
- 00:59:21,247 --> 00:59:23,313
- together in one cosmos.
- 1089
- 00:59:23,315 --> 00:59:25,849
- O.K., that's a spin on Leibniz,
- but the important part is next.
- 1090
- 00:59:25,851 --> 00:59:27,184
- Do I write that?
- 1091
- 00:59:27,186 --> 00:59:28,652
- No, hold on.
- 1092
- 00:59:28,654 --> 00:59:31,154
- In an instantaneous
- calculation made in eternity,
- 1093
- 00:59:31,156 --> 00:59:33,223
- God computes the best
- possible world and creates it.
- 1094
- 00:59:33,225 --> 00:59:34,858
- O.K., fine.
- 1095
- 00:59:34,860 --> 00:59:37,461
- This decision, as
- it were, by God,
- 1096
- 00:59:37,463 --> 00:59:40,631
- is uncontingent and eternal,
- rather than temporally or
- 1097
- 00:59:40,633 --> 00:59:42,132
- ontologically sequential.
- 1098
- 00:59:42,134 --> 00:59:43,834
- - Mmm...
- - What?
- 1099
- 00:59:43,836 --> 00:59:46,403
- Do you think that's
- the right word?
- 1100
- 00:59:46,405 --> 00:59:48,305
- Temporally?
- 1101
- 00:59:48,307 --> 00:59:50,240
- No, ontologically.
- 1102
- 00:59:50,242 --> 00:59:52,009
- What do you suggest?
- 1103
- 00:59:52,011 --> 00:59:55,012
- It's just that the nature of
- being is already the subject
- 1104
- 00:59:55,014 --> 00:59:56,647
- of the passage itself.
- 1105
- 00:59:56,649 --> 00:59:59,016
- I think you should move on
- from the idea of temporality
- 1106
- 00:59:59,018 --> 01:00:00,851
- to something more
- materially concrete.
- 1107
- 01:00:00,853 --> 01:00:03,787
- Spatiality, right. Or--
- 1108
- 01:00:05,457 --> 01:00:07,291
- We'll stop here for the night.
- 1109
- 01:00:09,228 --> 01:00:12,229
- Anyway, the point, Susan,
- it is impossible for every
- 1110
- 01:00:12,231 --> 01:00:15,666
- perfect good to be compatible
- with every other perfect good.
- 1111
- 01:00:15,668 --> 01:00:17,868
- The holiness of the mountain
- needs to be contrasted
- 1112
- 01:00:17,870 --> 01:00:20,237
- with the profanity of the
- used condom on the sidewalk
- 1113
- 01:00:20,239 --> 01:00:21,538
- so to speak.
- 1114
- 01:00:21,540 --> 01:00:23,307
- Good image, should
- I write that?
- 1115
- 01:00:23,309 --> 01:00:30,881
- The good of free will must
- entail real choices for sin.
- 1116
- 01:00:30,883 --> 01:00:32,816
- Something like that.
- 1117
- 01:00:32,818 --> 01:00:34,284
- We'll continue tomorrow.
- 1118
- 01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:50,834
- We need three
- single rooms please.
- 1119
- 01:00:50,836 --> 01:00:53,003
- Uh-oh, I'm afraid we only
- have one single
- 1120
- 01:00:53,005 --> 01:00:54,304
- and a suite available.
- 1121
- 01:00:54,306 --> 01:00:55,572
- A suite?
- 1122
- 01:00:55,574 --> 01:00:58,175
- Two rooms, a full kitchen,
- and a jacuzzi.
- 1123
- 01:00:58,177 --> 01:01:00,077
- A class establishment,
- obviously.
- 1124
- 01:01:00,079 --> 01:01:02,646
- I once participated in the
- most fantastic group sex
- 1125
- 01:01:02,648 --> 01:01:04,848
- in a hot tub outside in the
- mountains while it was snowing.
- 1126
- 01:01:04,850 --> 01:01:06,149
- Where was that?
- Doesn't matter.
- 1127
- 01:01:06,151 --> 01:01:07,784
- How about you?
- 1128
- 01:01:07,786 --> 01:01:09,653
- He'll have the suite.
- We'll take the single.
- 1129
- 01:01:09,655 --> 01:01:11,288
- I'll be in the bar.
- 1130
- 01:01:16,061 --> 01:01:17,694
- What?
- 1131
- 01:01:20,232 --> 01:01:24,234
- You're flirting with my father.
- 1132
- 01:01:24,236 --> 01:01:25,969
- Am I?
- 1133
- 01:01:25,971 --> 01:01:29,306
- He's fun.
- 1134
- 01:01:29,308 --> 01:01:31,742
- Are you kidding me?
- 1135
- 01:01:31,744 --> 01:01:33,810
- He appreciates my ideas.
- 1136
- 01:01:33,812 --> 01:01:36,213
- I like the way he thinks.
- 1137
- 01:01:36,215 --> 01:01:38,148
- He's a degenerate.
- 1138
- 01:01:38,150 --> 01:01:40,217
- Give him three minutes alone,
- and he'd rape you.
- 1139
- 01:01:40,219 --> 01:01:44,221
- I don't think you know
- what you're talking about.
- 1140
- 01:01:44,223 --> 01:01:47,891
- Yeah, well, maybe you're
- right, seeing as I don't know
- 1141
- 01:01:47,893 --> 01:01:50,794
- what you're
- capable of yourself.
- 1142
- 01:01:50,796 --> 01:01:54,231
- What's that supposed to mean?
- 1143
- 01:01:54,233 --> 01:01:55,866
- Give me the bullet.
- 1144
- 01:01:58,237 --> 01:01:59,936
- What bullet?
- 1145
- 01:02:06,812 --> 01:02:08,912
- That's all the cash I have.
- 1146
- 01:02:08,914 --> 01:02:10,313
- Take it. Get lost.
- 1147
- 01:02:10,315 --> 01:02:12,315
- You're not traveling with us.
- 1148
- 01:02:15,220 --> 01:02:17,154
- Is there a church around here?
- 1149
- 01:02:17,156 --> 01:02:21,858
- Lots. Catholic, Methodist, Baptist,
- Seventh Day Adventist, a mosque.
- 1150
- 01:02:21,860 --> 01:02:23,493
- It doesn't matter.
- 1151
- 01:02:23,495 --> 01:02:25,295
- Catholic's right
- across the parking lot.
- 1152
- 01:02:36,341 --> 01:02:38,875
- I was wondering how long you'd
- be able to stand that guy.
- 1153
- 01:02:38,877 --> 01:02:40,243
- Get dressed, you have
- to get out of here.
- 1154
- 01:02:40,245 --> 01:02:42,012
- What are you talking about?
- 1155
- 01:02:42,014 --> 01:02:43,914
- The young, Christian
- gentleman's paying for it all.
- 1156
- 01:02:43,916 --> 01:02:46,149
- There's a jacuzzi upstairs.
- 1157
- 01:02:46,151 --> 01:02:48,218
- The young Christian gentleman
- has every intention
- 1158
- 01:02:48,220 --> 01:02:49,886
- of killing you.
- 1159
- 01:02:49,888 --> 01:02:51,788
- Here's his gun.
- 1160
- 01:02:51,790 --> 01:02:53,223
- This is the bullet.
- 1161
- 01:02:53,225 --> 01:02:54,624
- I didn't think he
- had it in him.
- 1162
- 01:02:54,626 --> 01:02:55,892
- He does.
- 1163
- 01:02:55,894 --> 01:02:57,227
- I've heard him say his prayers.
- 1164
- 01:02:57,229 --> 01:02:59,229
- God's on his side, I suppose.
- 1165
- 01:02:59,231 --> 01:03:00,530
- Apparently.
- 1166
- 01:03:00,532 --> 01:03:02,132
- And so, you mean to say,
- Fay doesn't
- 1167
- 01:03:02,134 --> 01:03:03,834
- need my help with her memoir?
- 1168
- 01:03:03,836 --> 01:03:06,236
- Is that what he told you?
- 1169
- 01:03:12,144 --> 01:03:13,410
- That's low.
- 1170
- 01:03:13,412 --> 01:03:14,978
- You got any money?
- 1171
- 01:03:14,980 --> 01:03:16,880
- Yeah, I stole his bank card.
- 1172
- 01:03:16,882 --> 01:03:19,249
- He's got his pin code
- written on a Post-It note
- 1173
- 01:03:19,251 --> 01:03:20,650
- and everything.
- 1174
- 01:03:20,652 --> 01:03:21,952
- Very generous of him.
- 1175
- 01:03:21,954 --> 01:03:23,487
- I know, right?
- 1176
- 01:03:23,489 --> 01:03:25,222
- You'd think a religion would
- help teach people how
- 1177
- 01:03:25,224 --> 01:03:26,656
- the ungodly operate.
- 1178
- 01:03:26,658 --> 01:03:28,325
- Let me get dressed.
- 1179
- 01:03:28,327 --> 01:03:30,927
- Take all the good stuff
- from the mini bar.
- 1180
- 01:03:50,249 --> 01:03:54,217
- What have I done?
- 1181
- 01:03:54,219 --> 01:03:57,921
- I might've killed a man
- but for this woman.
- 1182
- 01:04:01,860 --> 01:04:04,427
- Have you sent her?
- 1183
- 01:04:04,429 --> 01:04:07,864
- Placed her in my path
- to keep me from sin?
- 1184
- 01:04:11,236 --> 01:04:17,040
- I'll set everything right.
- I'll make amends.
- 1185
- 01:04:17,042 --> 01:04:21,311
- Jesus, I don't want
- to kill anyone.
- 1186
- 01:04:27,219 --> 01:04:29,319
- Wow.
- 1187
- 01:04:29,321 --> 01:04:31,221
- Lots?
- 1188
- 01:04:31,223 --> 01:04:35,859
- He's loaded, but we can
- only withdraw $400 a day.
- 1189
- 01:04:52,844 --> 01:04:55,879
- I really can't believe that sanctimonious
- little church mouse is my son.
- 1190
- 01:04:55,881 --> 01:04:57,480
- Forget about it.
- 1191
- 01:04:57,482 --> 01:04:58,982
- Where are we going anyway?
- 1192
- 01:04:58,984 --> 01:05:00,550
- I mean, New York, right?
- 1193
- 01:05:00,552 --> 01:05:03,653
- All points on the globe are
- equally dismal for me, Susan.
- 1194
- 01:05:03,655 --> 01:05:07,624
- Unwanted, unappreciated,
- despised even by my own son.
- 1195
- 01:05:07,626 --> 01:05:09,693
- We can make it in maybe
- 3 or 4 days, depending
- 1196
- 01:05:09,695 --> 01:05:11,895
- on when Ned unplugs
- our credit line.
- 1197
- 01:05:11,897 --> 01:05:13,863
- I called ahead and reserved
- a motel room just this side
- 1198
- 01:05:13,865 --> 01:05:15,231
- of Spokane.
- 1199
- 01:05:15,233 --> 01:05:16,800
- Do they have a restaurant,
- you think?
- 1200
- 01:05:16,802 --> 01:05:18,935
- No, but the rooms
- have kitchens.
- 1201
- 01:05:19,638 --> 01:05:20,870
- Ned.
- 1202
- 01:05:20,872 --> 01:05:22,973
- Simon, I almost did a
- real bad thing.
- 1203
- 01:05:22,975 --> 01:05:24,240
- Your mother thought you might.
- 1204
- 01:05:24,242 --> 01:05:25,976
- Mom? How?
- 1205
- 01:05:25,978 --> 01:05:28,211
- She received a visit from
- the Reverend Gardner.
- 1206
- 01:05:28,213 --> 01:05:30,981
- Oh, man.
- 1207
- 01:05:30,983 --> 01:05:32,248
- Have you found Henry?
- 1208
- 01:05:32,250 --> 01:05:33,617
- Yes.
- 1209
- 01:05:33,619 --> 01:05:34,985
- Is he with you now?
- 1210
- 01:05:34,987 --> 01:05:37,721
- No, I lost him.
- He disappeared again.
- 1211
- 01:05:37,723 --> 01:05:40,223
- He ran off with some woman
- I was traveling with.
- 1212
- 01:05:40,225 --> 01:05:41,858
- Susan?
- 1213
- 01:05:41,860 --> 01:05:43,727
- Yeah.
- 1214
- 01:05:43,729 --> 01:05:47,864
- Ned, how much do you know
- about your dad's early years?
- 1215
- 01:05:47,866 --> 01:05:49,232
- More than I want to.
- 1216
- 01:05:49,234 --> 01:05:51,234
- Well, he spent some
- time in prison.
- 1217
- 01:05:51,236 --> 01:05:53,870
- Right, that much I got.
- 1218
- 01:05:53,872 --> 01:05:56,239
- Do you know why he
- was in prison?
- 1219
- 01:05:56,241 --> 01:05:59,075
- Mom said he hadn't paid
- his taxes or something.
- 1220
- 01:05:59,077 --> 01:06:01,878
- No, Henry was in jail for
- 7 years because he was
- 1221
- 01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:04,614
- caught in flagrante delicto
- with, as he once told me
- 1222
- 01:06:04,616 --> 01:06:08,084
- in confidence, an ugly and
- mean-spirited 13-year-old girl
- 1223
- 01:06:08,086 --> 01:06:11,187
- named Susan.
- 1224
- 01:06:11,189 --> 01:06:13,690
- You think this is that Susan?
- 1225
- 01:06:13,692 --> 01:06:15,325
- I'm certain of it.
- I've read her dissertation.
- 1226
- 01:06:15,327 --> 01:06:17,694
- It's a long, wild,
- passionate encomium to Henry.
- 1227
- 01:06:17,696 --> 01:06:19,396
- A what?
- 1228
- 01:06:19,398 --> 01:06:21,564
- And she's ghost-writing
- your mom's autobiography.
- 1229
- 01:06:21,566 --> 01:06:23,233
- No way! That's her?
- 1230
- 01:06:23,235 --> 01:06:24,634
- She's obsessed with Henry.
- 1231
- 01:06:24,636 --> 01:06:26,069
- Oh, damn it.
- Then let them be.
- 1232
- 01:06:26,071 --> 01:06:27,637
- They're both nuts anyway.
- 1233
- 01:06:27,639 --> 01:06:29,239
- He's an idiot.
- She's a floozie.
- 1234
- 01:06:29,241 --> 01:06:31,241
- They both read too much.
- They're made for each other.
- 1235
- 01:06:31,243 --> 01:06:32,509
- I'm coming home.
- 1236
- 01:06:32,511 --> 01:06:34,244
- But she might do him harm.
- 1237
- 01:06:34,246 --> 01:06:36,312
- You think?
- 1238
- 01:06:36,314 --> 01:06:38,181
- She's been in and out of
- psychiatric hospitals her
- 1239
- 01:06:38,183 --> 01:06:40,517
- whole life, and she stabbed
- a man in college when they
- 1240
- 01:06:40,519 --> 01:06:44,621
- refused to let her graduate.
- 1241
- 01:06:44,623 --> 01:06:46,289
- What was your impression?
- 1242
- 01:06:48,226 --> 01:06:51,561
- She's armed.
- 1243
- 01:06:51,563 --> 01:06:53,930
- Is she?
- 1244
- 01:06:57,369 --> 01:06:59,869
- Ned, you've got to find them.
- 1245
- 01:06:59,871 --> 01:07:01,971
- I know.
- 1246
- 01:07:01,973 --> 01:07:03,873
- Susan's brilliant, and she's a
- good person, but she's totally
- 1247
- 01:07:03,875 --> 01:07:05,075
- fucked up.
- 1248
- 01:07:05,077 --> 01:07:06,676
- I know.
- 1249
- 01:07:06,678 --> 01:07:08,178
- We could probably say the same
- thing about your dad, but I
- 1250
- 01:07:08,180 --> 01:07:10,246
- suspect you don't want
- to hear that right now.
- 1251
- 01:07:10,248 --> 01:07:12,082
- You're right, Uncle Simon.
- I don't want to hear that right now.
- 1252
- 01:07:12,084 --> 01:07:14,317
- Listen, I'll call you tomorrow.
- 1253
- 01:07:16,655 --> 01:07:19,222
- Stateside Mutual Customer
- Service, how can I help you?
- 1254
- 01:07:19,224 --> 01:07:21,491
- Yeah, my bank card
- has been stolen.
- 1255
- 01:07:21,493 --> 01:07:22,892
- Would you like me
- to cancel the card?
- 1256
- 01:07:22,894 --> 01:07:26,229
- Yes, and wait--
- 1257
- 01:07:26,231 --> 01:07:27,864
- Excuse me?
- 1258
- 01:07:27,866 --> 01:07:30,200
- Will you be able to tell me
- where the card was last used?
- 1259
- 01:07:30,202 --> 01:07:32,535
- Of course, the exact
- time and location.
- 1260
- 01:07:32,537 --> 01:07:34,237
- O.K., don't cancel
- the card just yet.
- 1261
- 01:07:34,239 --> 01:07:35,705
- Really? Are you sure?
- 1262
- 01:07:35,707 --> 01:07:37,640
- I'll call back in a few hours.
- 1263
- 01:07:37,642 --> 01:07:39,709
- A lot of damage can occur
- in a few hours, sir.
- 1264
- 01:07:39,711 --> 01:07:41,177
- I know.
- 1265
- 01:07:41,179 --> 01:07:42,712
- We should get some booze.
- 1266
- 01:07:42,714 --> 01:07:44,314
- Can you get me
- some rum, please?
- 1267
- 01:07:44,316 --> 01:07:45,815
- There's a liquor store
- across the parking lot.
- 1268
- 01:07:45,817 --> 01:07:46,750
- Rum, huh?
- 1269
- 01:07:46,752 --> 01:07:47,984
- And whatever you're drinking.
- 1270
- 01:07:47,986 --> 01:07:48,986
- I'll get something to cook.
- 1271
- 01:07:48,988 --> 01:07:50,054
- What do you smoke?
- 1272
- 01:07:50,056 --> 01:07:52,056
- Whatever.
- Fairport Lights are O.K.
- 1273
- 01:07:55,258 --> 01:07:57,493
- An embarrassment of riches!
- 1274
- 01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:16,946
- We'll need a knife.
- 1275
- 01:08:25,323 --> 01:08:27,223
- All set?
- 1276
- 01:08:27,225 --> 01:08:28,858
- Anything else?
- 1277
- 01:08:28,860 --> 01:08:31,494
- Ice cubes.
- I'll get napkins.
- 1278
- 01:08:31,496 --> 01:08:33,296
- Oh, and lemonade.
- 1279
- 01:08:53,251 --> 01:08:54,951
- Susan?
- 1280
- 01:09:05,931 --> 01:09:08,264
- Rum, lemonade,
- and Fairport Lights.
- 1281
- 01:09:08,266 --> 01:09:11,868
- These were your
- preferred poisons at 13.
- 1282
- 01:09:11,870 --> 01:09:13,136
- Why didn't you
- come back for me?
- 1283
- 01:09:13,138 --> 01:09:14,404
- What?
- 1284
- 01:09:14,406 --> 01:09:15,805
- I waited.
- 1285
- 01:09:15,807 --> 01:09:18,041
- They put me in jail
- for 7 years.
- 1286
- 01:09:18,043 --> 01:09:20,910
- But I was 20 by the
- time you got out.
- 1287
- 01:09:20,912 --> 01:09:23,179
- I wasn't allowed into the
- state of Ohio without written
- 1288
- 01:09:23,181 --> 01:09:25,515
- permission from some office of
- the governor, and only then if
- 1289
- 01:09:25,517 --> 01:09:27,250
- I could prove I had
- gainful employment.
- 1290
- 01:09:27,252 --> 01:09:31,221
- Look, Susan, I paid dearly for
- our little afternoon of bliss.
- 1291
- 01:09:31,223 --> 01:09:33,356
- I really did think my parents
- were away for the weekend.
- 1292
- 01:09:33,358 --> 01:09:35,692
- I had no idea they
- would come back.
- 1293
- 01:09:35,694 --> 01:09:37,627
- Aw, Susan.
- 1294
- 01:09:37,629 --> 01:09:40,630
- Susan, what my life might've
- been if I'd never met you.
- 1295
- 01:09:40,632 --> 01:09:42,232
- I'm sorry.
- 1296
- 01:09:42,234 --> 01:09:44,000
- Please don't apologize.
- 1297
- 01:09:44,002 --> 01:09:46,135
- What's done is done and
- I shouldn't have done it.
- 1298
- 01:09:46,137 --> 01:09:47,570
- I wanted you to.
- 1299
- 01:09:47,572 --> 01:09:51,241
- You were 13. You didn't
- know what you wanted.
- 1300
- 01:09:51,243 --> 01:09:53,476
- I did. I did know
- what I wanted.
- 1301
- 01:09:53,478 --> 01:09:55,245
- Susan, it's like I've
- been trying to get at.
- 1302
- 01:09:55,247 --> 01:09:57,247
- There is sin in this world.
- 1303
- 01:09:57,249 --> 01:09:59,148
- I haven't worked it out
- perfectly yet, but if there is
- 1304
- 01:09:59,150 --> 01:10:00,884
- such a thing as sin,
- it comes down to this.
- 1305
- 01:10:00,886 --> 01:10:02,285
- Taking advantage of innocence.
- 1306
- 01:10:02,287 --> 01:10:04,888
- I was not innocent.
- How dare you say that.
- 1307
- 01:10:04,890 --> 01:10:06,489
- You were the only one I wanted.
- 1308
- 01:10:06,491 --> 01:10:08,625
- Yes, the only one stupid
- enough to succumb to the
- 1309
- 01:10:08,627 --> 01:10:11,060
- advances of an overweight and
- perspiring adolescent
- 1310
- 01:10:11,062 --> 01:10:13,296
- with bad teeth.
- 1311
- 01:10:13,298 --> 01:10:15,498
- What happened?
- 1312
- 01:10:15,500 --> 01:10:18,001
- I grew up.
- 1313
- 01:10:18,003 --> 01:10:19,836
- Well, you've got a nice ass.
- 1314
- 01:10:19,838 --> 01:10:22,005
- I had braces until I was 26.
- 1315
- 01:10:22,007 --> 01:10:23,740
- You could use a
- few pounds, though.
- 1316
- 01:10:23,742 --> 01:10:25,141
- I was anorexic for a while.
- 1317
- 01:10:25,143 --> 01:10:26,743
- No.
- 1318
- 01:10:26,745 --> 01:10:29,245
- I'm O.K. now, but it wasn't
- so bad, because I was
- 1319
- 01:10:29,247 --> 01:10:30,880
- in a hospital anyways.
- 1320
- 01:10:30,882 --> 01:10:32,248
- What kind of hospital?
- 1321
- 01:10:32,250 --> 01:10:34,317
- The kind for crazy people.
- 1322
- 01:10:34,319 --> 01:10:36,185
- - Oh, no.
- - No, it wasn't like that.
- 1323
- 01:10:36,187 --> 01:10:39,122
- They thought I was crazy because
- I was in love with you.
- 1324
- 01:10:39,124 --> 01:10:40,556
- Well, they were right.
- 1325
- 01:10:40,558 --> 01:10:42,625
- I was the janitor at
- your junior high school.
- 1326
- 01:10:42,627 --> 01:10:44,627
- You turned me on
- to Lautréamont.
- 1327
- 01:10:44,629 --> 01:10:45,962
- Did I?
- 1328
- 01:10:45,964 --> 01:10:47,230
- And Verlaine, Rimbaud.
- 1329
- 01:10:47,232 --> 01:10:48,731
- Really?
- 1330
- 01:10:48,733 --> 01:10:50,233
- All the French symbolists.
- 1331
- 01:10:50,235 --> 01:10:52,669
- Of course, I outgrew them,
- but they were formative.
- 1332
- 01:10:52,671 --> 01:10:54,871
- Yeah, well, but still,
- there are limits.
- 1333
- 01:10:54,873 --> 01:10:56,307
- I mean, there are laws even.
- 1334
- 01:10:57,309 --> 01:10:59,876
- Hi. It's me again--
- Edward Rifle.
- 1335
- 01:10:59,878 --> 01:11:01,244
- Oh, yes, Mr. Rifle.
- 1336
- 01:11:01,246 --> 01:11:04,814
- The card was used near
- Spokane 45 minutes ago
- 1337
- 01:11:04,816 --> 01:11:07,517
- at a supermarket on Route 47.
- 1338
- 01:11:07,519 --> 01:11:11,955
- That was the best
- day of my life.
- 1339
- 01:11:11,957 --> 01:11:14,223
- It was astonishing.
- 1340
- 01:11:14,225 --> 01:11:15,558
- I mean, at least,
- until your father
- 1341
- 01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:17,794
- was standing there and
- the police arrived.
- 1342
- 01:11:17,796 --> 01:11:21,230
- I remember every moment of it.
- 1343
- 01:11:21,232 --> 01:11:24,634
- I put myself to sleep at night
- for years replaying it again,
- 1344
- 01:11:24,636 --> 01:11:26,803
- and again.
- 1345
- 01:11:26,805 --> 01:11:28,237
- Every touch.
- 1346
- 01:11:28,239 --> 01:11:30,173
- Each thrust.
- 1347
- 01:11:30,175 --> 01:11:34,577
- The taste of your dirty
- fingers in my mouth.
- 1348
- 01:11:34,579 --> 01:11:37,480
- How I clutched the
- bedspread and drooled.
- 1349
- 01:11:42,354 --> 01:11:45,955
- And now we can be together,
- you and me finally, without
- 1350
- 01:11:45,957 --> 01:11:47,224
- any interference.
- 1351
- 01:11:49,226 --> 01:11:50,627
- Is that what you want?
- 1352
- 01:11:52,797 --> 01:11:55,065
- More than anything
- in the world.
- 1353
- 01:12:17,222 --> 01:12:19,622
- I'm not an easy man
- to live with, Susan.
- 1354
- 01:12:19,624 --> 01:12:23,226
- I'll just follow you,
- yours whenever you want me.
- 1355
- 01:12:23,228 --> 01:12:24,861
- You're incorrigible.
- 1356
- 01:12:24,863 --> 01:12:26,295
- Thank you.
- 1357
- 01:12:26,297 --> 01:12:28,231
- Outrageous!
- 1358
- 01:12:28,233 --> 01:12:30,233
- You people are disgusting!
- 1359
- 01:12:30,235 --> 01:12:32,468
- Why, a man your age ought
- to know better than to--
- 1360
- 01:12:32,470 --> 01:12:34,005
- Come on! Come on!
- It's not our business.
- 1361
- 01:12:35,507 --> 01:12:37,306
- Pervert!
- 1362
- 01:12:40,345 --> 01:12:42,412
- And so you stabbed the guy?
- 1363
- 01:12:42,414 --> 01:12:46,015
- All semester long he's
- encouraging me to revise
- 1364
- 01:12:46,017 --> 01:12:49,152
- and to annotate and insisting
- we meet after class to discuss
- 1365
- 01:12:49,154 --> 01:12:52,822
- and, well, of course, fuck,
- and then he totally goes along
- 1366
- 01:12:52,824 --> 01:12:54,457
- with the other department
- heads and dismisses
- 1367
- 01:12:54,459 --> 01:12:56,225
- the dissertation as not
- worthy of consideration.
- 1368
- 01:12:56,227 --> 01:12:57,727
- What's this for?
- 1369
- 01:12:57,729 --> 01:12:59,062
- The tomatoes.
- 1370
- 01:12:59,064 --> 01:13:00,329
- - You still hungry?
- - Not really.
- 1371
- 01:13:00,331 --> 01:13:04,133
- Give me your glass.
- 1372
- 01:13:04,135 --> 01:13:07,303
- These self-satisfied pundits
- who, themselves received
- 1373
- 01:13:07,305 --> 01:13:11,507
- master's degrees for writing
- college papers on post-Marxist
- 1374
- 01:13:11,509 --> 01:13:15,044
- third generation feminist
- apocrypha or whatever,
- 1375
- 01:13:15,046 --> 01:13:18,081
- now have these high-paid
- tenured positions lock-step
- 1376
- 01:13:18,083 --> 01:13:21,217
- with college policy, pushing
- only commercially sustainable
- 1377
- 01:13:21,219 --> 01:13:24,620
- mass-cultural phenomena,
- proudly detailing the most
- 1378
- 01:13:24,622 --> 01:13:27,457
- profitably, impermanent
- trends as critically relevant
- 1379
- 01:13:27,459 --> 01:13:30,226
- societal indicators for the
- next really cool Facebook ad,
- 1380
- 01:13:30,228 --> 01:13:31,727
- et cetera.
- 1381
- 01:13:31,729 --> 01:13:34,297
- I mean, am I repeating myself?
- 1382
- 01:13:34,299 --> 01:13:38,935
- God, I love it when you get all
- fired up and indignant like this.
- 1383
- 01:13:40,238 --> 01:13:41,938
- Fuck me.
- 1384
- 01:14:39,230 --> 01:14:40,863
- Hello, ladies.
- 1385
- 01:14:40,865 --> 01:14:44,467
- Welcome to the first meeting
- of the Penitentiary Book Club.
- 1386
- 01:14:44,469 --> 01:14:46,569
- Since we're all going to be
- here for, well, like, the rest
- 1387
- 01:14:46,571 --> 01:14:49,138
- of our lives, I figured we
- should start out with some
- 1388
- 01:14:49,140 --> 01:14:51,941
- really big books like these.
- 1389
- 01:14:55,213 --> 01:14:59,384
- "Don Quixote" by
- Cervantes, 941 pages.
- 1390
- 01:15:01,586 --> 01:15:05,790
- "War and Peace," Tolstoy,
- 1,443 pages.
- 1391
- 01:15:07,792 --> 01:15:09,325
- "Les Misérables"--
- 1392
- 01:15:09,327 --> 01:15:12,395
- They made a musical out of
- this one--by Victor Hugo,
- 1393
- 01:15:12,397 --> 01:15:14,230
- 1,232 pages.
- 1394
- 01:15:14,932 --> 01:15:16,699
- Older man, young woman.
- 1395
- 01:15:17,301 --> 01:15:18,968
- Yeah, high heels, that's right.
- 1396
- 01:15:28,012 --> 01:15:29,312
- Dad's home!
- 1397
- 01:15:39,224 --> 01:15:40,257
- Good morning.
- 1398
- 01:15:41,759 --> 01:15:43,460
- You ought to be
- ashamed of yourself.
- 1399
- 01:15:44,062 --> 01:15:46,062
- Are you,
- by any chance, headed toward
- 1400
- 01:15:46,064 --> 01:15:47,263
- the city of Spokane?
- 1401
- 01:15:47,465 --> 01:15:49,099
- Well, yeah, sort of.
- 1402
- 01:15:49,501 --> 01:15:51,734
- I'd appreciate a lift,
- if you'd be so kind.
- 1403
- 01:15:51,736 --> 01:15:53,168
- Absolutely not!
- 1404
- 01:15:53,470 --> 01:15:54,870
- Amelia, please.
- 1405
- 01:15:55,072 --> 01:15:57,773
- Just drop me anywhere along
- the road in that direction.
- 1406
- 01:15:58,175 --> 01:15:58,842
- Thanks.
- 1407
- 01:16:48,226 --> 01:16:51,227
- Look, young man, we don't
- want any trouble around here.
- 1408
- 01:16:51,229 --> 01:16:52,962
- I'm just looking
- for my friends.
- 1409
- 01:16:56,868 --> 01:16:58,167
- Henry!?
- 1410
- 01:16:58,169 --> 01:16:59,468
- I can't do this to her again.
- 1411
- 01:16:59,470 --> 01:17:00,870
- I'll get off here.
- 1412
- 01:17:00,872 --> 01:17:02,238
- There's nothing here for miles.
- 1413
- 01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:03,639
- Yeah, but I gotta take a shit.
- 1414
- 01:17:03,641 --> 01:17:04,907
- Dear God almighty.
- 1415
- 01:17:04,908 --> 01:17:06,174
- The filth that comes
- out of his mouth.
- 1416
- 01:17:06,177 --> 01:17:08,644
- Let him go. Let
- him go! Let him go.
- 1417
- 01:17:15,486 --> 01:17:17,386
- I don't want to
- cause any trouble.
- 1418
- 01:17:17,388 --> 01:17:19,221
- I'm just going to wait here
- in the car till my
- 1419
- 01:17:19,223 --> 01:17:21,824
- friends wake up.
- 1420
- 01:17:21,826 --> 01:17:23,292
- O.K.?
- 1421
- 01:17:58,863 --> 01:17:59,696
- Dad.
- 1422
- 01:18:29,727 --> 01:18:31,293
- Save her.
- 1423
- 01:18:38,236 --> 01:18:39,568
- No, please.
- 1424
- 01:20:38,956 --> 01:20:40,289
- Run.
- 1425
- 01:20:51,235 --> 01:20:52,868
- No.
