0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Good morning. You are Mr.. - Dark.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33- Daniel Dark. Extensive lesions. - Temperature through the roof.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Difficult case. We moved him after several disruptive outbursts.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39How long have you had psoriatic arthropathy?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43How long? Since Pearl Harbour.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Yesterday, he said there was a dog in the bed, chewing his ankles.
0:07:29 > 0:07:34OK. Things are not good here. Um, how do you feel about...?
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Mr...Dark, how do you feel about one of the new retinoids? Hmm?
0:07:39 > 0:07:44It...it wasn't my ankles. It was chewing my balls.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50What I'm asking is if you understand the question.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53No! I don't! Because I have regressed
0:07:53 > 0:07:57into the pathetic condition of total dependency, Doc.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00In short and in the vernacular, I'm a fucking kid again.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Last time I had to endure anything this demeaning was in my baby buggy.
0:08:04 > 0:08:10- I was...drooled over by slobbery cretins...- Dark.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13..from the cuckoo house. Thought they were doctors and nurses.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25What did you do for a living, Mr...Dark?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27What DID I do?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I'm an author.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Oh. Oh.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52Will you please listen?

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Come on.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I'd still like to get out of it, but I can't.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Listen, I can't...I can't stand it.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I really and truly can't stand it... any more.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41I can't get on top of it. I can't tell what is from what isn't
0:09:41 > 0:09:44and if I don't tell someone...
0:09:44 > 0:09:48If I don't admit it, I'll never get out of it.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51These tears! Those fucking tears!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Oh. I'm sorry.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Ooh, the shame.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03The tears. All this oozing...useless liquid.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06It just hurts my...skin...my face
0:10:06 > 0:10:08and...
0:10:08 > 0:10:12..when I laugh it hurts my jaw. I'm a prisoner inside my...

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Well, "How are we today?"
0:13:36 > 0:13:40You say we. Who's the other guy?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- It's just a way of speaking. - Yeah, it's the medical way.

0:16:18 > 0:16:22- He's a psychotherapist. - GO FUCK YOURSELF!
0:16:28 > 0:16:31You will never get on top of your condition
0:16:31 > 0:16:34until you deal with your bitterness.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Start over. Reassemble yourself.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Reassemble myself?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52From what?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58# Many a tear has to fall
0:17:00 > 0:17:03# But it's all

0:18:04 > 0:18:10The big cheese with the fat contract who loves the way I tickle a tune?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Sorry, no. - That's right, trouble.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22I get the cases the polite guys pass.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26I get the jobs the guys who don't sing don't get. What's the story?
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- Who's the dame? - How do you know there's a dame?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32There's always a dame.

0:18:43 > 0:18:47There's always the money, too.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Talking to yourself again?
0:18:54 > 0:18:59I had on my best pyjamas with red stripes and blue forget-me-nots.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03I was powdered up to the armpits with talc between each toe.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06A million bucks was about to call.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I was ready for it.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13High temperature again?
0:19:13 > 0:19:17When she moved her lips, I felt like a tulip in the dry season
0:19:17 > 0:19:21when the first raindrops smacked into it. I've decided to open up.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58No.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00They say she was with me, but I swear to God...
0:23:00 > 0:23:05- Swear to something you believe in, boy.- I swear on my mother's grave.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- Nina left me unharmed.- That her name? The whore?- Why call her that?
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Dog shit by another name smells just as foul, pal,
0:23:13 > 0:23:17and it sticks to the bottom of your shoe no matter what you call it.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20It's nasty. Do you want me to clean it up?
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Find out what happened and prove nothing happened to her cos of me.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28- But it did. - What?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Wouldn't that be the way her mother would see it?
0:23:31 > 0:23:36- Her mother?- You just swore on your mother's grave, Mr Binney.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40I'm not hiring you for a mouthful of humbug, Mr Dark!
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Argh!- Maybe the cops are fixing a fire, Binney.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Maybe you're playing some deeper game.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- You're not a nice guy, Dark. - Ah, but you'll pay me, Binney.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55You'll pay me double for the humbug.

0:24:51 > 0:24:53What's it doing here?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55What's going on?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Your book, Mr Dark.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03- Happened to pick up a copy the other day.- Oh, yeah?
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- Where? Fertiliser factory?- He said, out of the side of his mouth.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12- Gibbon. How are you, Mr Dark? - Can't...shake.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- Oh, yes, of course. - I wouldn't if I could.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- I'm here under protest. - I see.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21A kidnap.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Little men shouldn't sit where their feet don't touch the floor.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32It makes me think of nursery rhymes.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38- You don't wanna see me? - What sharpness(!) What perception(!)
0:25:38 > 0:25:42And you don't like it at all that I've got this.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46- It's full of clues. - No. It's full of pages.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Clues are what you're supposed to find in a detective story.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Am I right or am I right?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Jesus, you're good.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00I know clues are supposed to lead you to the killer but, er,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04don't they reveal the victim a little more clearly?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07You think you're being interesting, don't you?
0:26:07 > 0:26:11If this was a movie, it would be on the cutting-room floor.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Does your book worry you?- I wanna go to my bed. It's vivid and exciting.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Well, you don't have many visitors. - Ooh.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Does your wife come and visit you or do you stop her?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- I'm not married. Period. - Right. Yes, I see.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36Stop it! Stop staring at me. Have you never seen a human pizza before?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40You... You don't like women, do you?
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Which ones? Young ones, old ones, fat ones, faithful ones?
0:26:45 > 0:26:50- Virgins, whores? Try and be specific, Doc.- Maybe you think you like 'em,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54but, er, my guess is, you don't like sex.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59How do you spell that? That's not a word you see much nowadays.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02You probably think you do. Sex.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06You probably think about it all the time. I know I do.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11If I say fuck you, does that mean yes?
0:27:13 > 0:27:19Well, isn't it clear you regard sexual intercourse with distaste,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- or...perhaps even a little fear? - SCOFFS
0:27:22 > 0:27:25What, am I trapped in here with a fruitcake?
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- Here, for example, on page 116.- This is against the Geneva Convention.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- I'll read you a passage out of your own book.- No!

0:29:29 > 0:29:33- What would you have preferred to have written?- If I had the talent?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35No, of course I don't mean that.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39No. Go ahead. Be a critic. You got the face for it.
0:29:39 > 0:29:44If you like, all right. Er, if you had the talent...?
0:29:44 > 0:29:48If I had the talent, one-liners for Michael Jackson.

0:29:58 > 0:30:02All the problems of the world start with the next goddamn word.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- It's not incriminating. - What isn't?

0:40:13 > 0:40:17Yeah. I can see around corners and right up your hairy little...
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Not to mention that ugly temper.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21MUMBLES
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Hmm.
0:40:25 > 0:40:30What do you think? Do you think it's time you went back to work again?
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Tell me how, Doctor Do-Nothing.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37I never write anything down myself. I dictate. Have you tried it?
0:40:37 > 0:40:40With whom? Question mark.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Oh, there are people.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45- Agencies. - Somebody being getting to you?
0:40:45 > 0:40:50- What do you mean?- Has a certain whore of my former acquaintance
0:40:50 > 0:40:54been pushing her hard little nose into my affairs?
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Mr Dark... do you plan to get better?
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Hmm?
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Chronic illness is a shelter.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11A cave in the rocks, into which a wounded spirit can safely crawl.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- Some cave.- Oh, no. Not very comfortable. Not at all.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16There are bats in it.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21Squeaking rodents with wings of skin and fur,
0:41:21 > 0:41:25that hang upside down, crunching beetles in their teeth.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29- But you know all about that. You know about bats.- Shut up, shrimp!
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- You turned. You turned! - KNOCK AT DOOR
0:41:32 > 0:41:34I did.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Not now.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41- Who was that? - Uh?
0:41:41 > 0:41:44What's that? That's progress, Mr Dark.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Who knows how far it can go?
0:41:47 > 0:41:49What, from the neck down, you mean?
0:41:49 > 0:41:52If you're thinking the other way around,
0:41:52 > 0:41:58- if you wanna get inside my head, you better forget it.- Oh. Good.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Wait, can't you?
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- He's asleep. - Who is?
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- My boy. - You mean you've got a kid in here?
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Jesus!
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Listen, doll, when I fuck, I like to make a noise, OK?
0:42:40 > 0:42:43What a disgusting disease.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Gee, thanks.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- Dan? - Sit down. Sit down. Why not?
0:42:54 > 0:42:58- Keep the laughs coming. - Who's laughing?
0:43:05 > 0:43:09You are, beyond a shadow of a doubt, an exceptionally beautiful woman...
0:43:09 > 0:43:12at your peak.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15That sounds like a death sentence.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17It is a death sentence.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21Three months I've been in this fucking bed, you know that?
0:43:21 > 0:43:25Where you been? Who are you? What are you? I don't know.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28I hallucinate now and then. You know what?
0:43:28 > 0:43:32The past, the present. They're all in that cheap old book of mine
0:43:32 > 0:43:34and I didn't even know it.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37- So are you, honey. - Me?- Uh-huh.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39'Nicola.'
0:43:44 > 0:43:47You are a filthy, predatory,
0:43:47 > 0:43:51totally wanton bitch who was always in heat and liked to fuck.
0:43:51 > 0:43:55Don't. Don't nod now. Don't nod ever.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03Whatever I said, I still loved you.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08Liar.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14I have some things to discuss with you.
0:44:14 > 0:44:18There's a film company that wants to buy the rights
0:44:18 > 0:44:20to that first book.
0:44:20 > 0:44:25- What?- The Singing Detective. The one set in the fifties.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28The book you've been talking about.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31- They want it for Roger Rabbit, right? - No.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34They seem, um...
0:44:34 > 0:44:36..keen.
0:44:36 > 0:44:38Keen?
0:44:39 > 0:44:42All right, what's this got to do with you?
0:44:42 > 0:44:46You're broke and you haven't written a word for over a year.
0:44:46 > 0:44:51Dan, I just want you to be able to support yourself.
0:44:51 > 0:44:57Oh, God. I see. Baby, baby, still thinks I owe her money.
0:44:57 > 0:45:01- No.- You could work it out at, say, 500 dollars a screw.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04Isn't that a top rate...for hookers?
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Is it? I wouldn't know.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12Who are you sleeping with at the moment?
0:45:17 > 0:45:20- Myself, mostly. - Mostly?
0:45:20 > 0:45:24- Mostly. - Mostly means not always.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27Right, if you want to be precise.
0:45:33 > 0:45:36Dan, you need to function.
0:45:37 > 0:45:41- You just... You need to get... - What happened to the screenplay?
0:45:41 > 0:45:44- What screenplay? - The one in my head.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47What are you talking about?
0:45:47 > 0:45:50That is the worst thing about a detective story - the plot.
0:45:50 > 0:45:54It's the best thing, too. I mean, hell, isn't it the only thing?
0:45:54 > 0:45:57You got to work it out - a rat in a maze.
0:45:57 > 0:46:01- That's what I'm trying to do now. - With a story you've already written.
0:46:04 > 0:46:10- It grows.- How, when you already know what's going to happen?
0:46:10 > 0:46:15Where is it? The fucking screenplay - The Singing Detective!
0:46:15 > 0:46:17- I put in in shoe boxes. - Shoeboxes?
0:46:17 > 0:46:21YES! FUCKING SHOEBOXES!
0:46:24 > 0:46:27Danny.
0:46:31 > 0:46:33SIGHS
0:46:33 > 0:46:36What do I know?
0:46:44 > 0:46:47Dan. You need to write something new.
0:46:47 > 0:46:52Something real. Like this, like everything that's happening now.
0:46:52 > 0:46:57- Not a silly detective story. Something real.- All solutions.
0:46:57 > 0:47:01- Well? - All solutions and no clues, right?
0:47:01 > 0:47:06Cos that's what the dumbheads want. They want a serious novel, right,
0:47:06 > 0:47:08plus descriptions of the goddamn sky.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13I want it the other way around - all clues, no solutions,
0:47:13 > 0:47:17cos that's the way...things are.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19Now...
0:47:23 > 0:47:25..why do you know about this?
0:47:25 > 0:47:28Why do you know? Come on!
0:47:28 > 0:47:32Were you a party to the offer in the first place?
0:47:32 > 0:47:34Tell me what's going on. Tell me!
0:47:36 > 0:47:38TELL ME!
0:47:40 > 0:47:42Paranoia, you know.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48- You fucked 'em. - Dan, stop.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51Do you want my help or not?
0:47:51 > 0:47:55- Do I want... Do I want you to help me?- Well, you think on it.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57- You go fuck yourself. - OK.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00I love you, too, Dan.
0:48:14 > 0:48:16'Hey, Binney.
0:48:16 > 0:48:20'Quote. No luck. Period.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22'No good. Period.
0:48:22 > 0:48:25- 'He was getting very suspicious!' - 'No luck. No good.'
0:48:25 > 0:48:28He's getting very suspicious.
0:48:29 > 0:48:33- Try again, right? - I don't know.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35We could be sued for misrepresentation
0:48:35 > 0:48:37- if he doesn't sign. - I'll deliver.
0:48:37 > 0:48:41I said I would. He still looks awful.
0:48:41 > 0:48:46- Don't feel sorry for him.- I hope it goes into his fucking bones!
0:48:48 > 0:48:52You look terrific when you're mad. Like a hornet...
0:48:52 > 0:48:55..drowning in the Tabasco.
0:48:55 > 0:48:59That's something Dan Dark would say. You sound like Dan.
0:49:01 > 0:49:03LAUGHTER
0:49:03 > 0:49:06'Sorry, Charlie.'
0:49:08 > 0:49:11# How much is that doggie in the window?
0:49:11 > 0:49:16# The one with the waggedy tail
0:49:16 > 0:49:18# How much is... #
0:49:18 > 0:49:20# "Poison Ivy" - The Coasters
0:49:24 > 0:49:27# She comes on like a rose
0:49:28 > 0:49:30# But everybody knows
0:49:31 > 0:49:34# She'll get you in Dutch
0:49:34 > 0:49:37# You can look but you better not touch
0:49:37 > 0:49:40# Poison ivy...
0:49:40 > 0:49:43'There are songs to sing and feelings to feel.
0:49:43 > 0:49:48'There are thoughts to think. We can't do three things at once.'
0:49:48 > 0:49:51# ..Arou-ou-ou-ound... #
0:49:51 > 0:49:55'Singing's easy. Sugar on the tongue. Thinking comes with the tune.
0:49:55 > 0:49:58'That leaves only feelings. You're not gonna catch me...
0:49:58 > 0:50:01'feeling feelings.'
0:50:01 > 0:50:04# If you let her get under your skin
0:50:04 > 0:50:07# Poison ivy...
0:50:07 > 0:50:10Watch the light, dickhead.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13# Late at night while you're sleepin'
0:50:13 > 0:50:18# Poison ivy comes a creepin' arou-ou-ou-ou-ound
0:50:18 > 0:50:21# Measles make you bumpy and mumps will make you lumpy
0:50:21 > 0:50:24# And chickenpox will make you jump and twitch
0:50:24 > 0:50:29The guy's a sitting duck. Why here? What's the sense?
0:50:29 > 0:50:33J Edgar H prefers a different kind of tune. What does it matter?
0:50:33 > 0:50:37- But I don't like it. - Stick to Patti Page, huh?
0:50:37 > 0:50:41'Up there with the lights. It's the goons. Watch yourself.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44'Watch!' # The minute you start to mess... #
0:50:45 > 0:50:48SCREAMING
0:51:36 > 0:51:39- How's it going? - Halfway there.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46Halfway to a million bucks.
0:51:52 > 0:51:57Disdain. Period.
0:51:59 > 0:52:03- I have some nice things, if that's what you mean.- Nice? How? Expensive.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05Our tastes are different.
0:52:05 > 0:52:09You're more at home in...bars and sleazy dancehalls.
0:52:09 > 0:52:14Oh, and the occasional rotary dinner and state prison dance,
0:52:14 > 0:52:16where I don't leave my hat.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22- Pardon?- That's how the cops got onto you, Binney.
0:52:22 > 0:52:26You left your fedora on the bar when you picked up that whore.
0:52:29 > 0:52:32Binney.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38- Money, money, money. - What about it?
0:52:38 > 0:52:42- You got a lot? - I do all right.
0:52:42 > 0:52:45- What at, I'm wondering? - I buy.
0:52:45 > 0:52:49- I sell. - So do second-hand rooms.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52What do you buy? What do you sell?
0:52:52 > 0:52:55- That's my business. - Naked flesh?
0:52:56 > 0:53:00- What?- Oh, yeah. That's what you buy. That's what you sell.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02That's ridiculous. I deal in antiques...
0:53:02 > 0:53:06The only antiques are some of the distinguished gentlemen
0:53:06 > 0:53:10- you service with young girls. - Are you calling me a pimp?
0:53:10 > 0:53:13Yes. You don't mind, do you?
0:53:15 > 0:53:17You're a fantasist, Dark.
0:53:20 > 0:53:24- Get out. Don't let me see you again. - What about my fee?- Fee? What fee?
0:53:24 > 0:53:28It took me five days between my syncopations to figure out
0:53:28 > 0:53:34that you set up that poor girl, Nina. Why, I say to myself, why?
0:53:34 > 0:53:36- Just get out. - Know what I think?
0:53:36 > 0:53:40- She was killed right here in this museum.- You're crazy.
0:53:40 > 0:53:44The cops can be bought and sold, too. Put it back in the drawer.
0:53:44 > 0:53:48- What? - Put it back in the drawer,
0:53:48 > 0:53:52or you'll get a hole in your head where the wind from your ass can go.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55You really are crazy.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58- You're out of your cheap little mind.- Sure.
0:53:58 > 0:54:03Do it. I've been shot at once tonight. That's once too often.
0:54:03 > 0:54:06OK. OK.
0:54:09 > 0:54:11Argh!
0:54:13 > 0:54:16Nina - she wasn't one of your commodities, but her friend was.
0:54:16 > 0:54:20That girl they scraped up under the Hollywood sign! Cops said she jumped.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22- It was your pals. - Pals?
0:54:22 > 0:54:27Your pals thought she passed something to Nina. Take no chances.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31Not with you. Am I right or am I right?
0:54:31 > 0:54:36- Now they want me, you slimy slug! - Argh!
0:54:37 > 0:54:39Go on.
0:54:39 > 0:54:43Go on, I enjoy cheap fiction.
0:54:43 > 0:54:46Me? No. I'm no longer in your employ.
0:54:46 > 0:54:51Fee? What fee? You hired me to find out about Nina when you already knew.
0:54:51 > 0:54:53Why? I'll figure it out.
0:54:53 > 0:54:57- And... - And?
0:54:58 > 0:55:00I sing for people who dance, Binney.
0:55:00 > 0:55:04Name your tune, I'll warble it. But when you dance,
0:55:04 > 0:55:09- your feet won't be touching the floor.- You're cheap, Dark.
0:55:09 > 0:55:11Ten cents a dance.
0:55:33 > 0:55:35WHISTLES
0:56:26 > 0:56:27Mr Dark?
0:56:30 > 0:56:34That's my handle. I was born at daybreak.
0:56:34 > 0:56:38- I wanna talk.- You followed me to make sure I wasn't followed. I was.
0:56:38 > 0:56:41Stay back. Keep out of sight.
0:56:41 > 0:56:44Meet me at the Laguna in a half an hour.
0:56:45 > 0:56:48Little fool. GUNSHOT
0:57:03 > 0:57:05GROANS I warned you.
0:57:06 > 0:57:09I told you, baby.
0:57:12 > 0:57:15Aw, gee. Silly.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17Poor little thing.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19Parlo.
0:57:22 > 0:57:27What? You mean the Parlo atomic laboratory? It's in LA.
0:57:28 > 0:57:31Binney. Mark...Binney.
0:57:33 > 0:57:35He's providing them with girls.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38Right? Girls like you.
0:57:38 > 0:57:40Nina?
0:57:41 > 0:57:46- They're rats.- They're getting to the atomic scientists!
0:57:47 > 0:57:50Yes? At Parlo?
0:57:50 > 0:57:52Using sex.
0:57:54 > 0:57:56Sex.
0:58:05 > 0:58:07Sex.
0:58:15 > 0:58:17Sex.
0:58:17 > 0:58:20I'll get ya.
0:58:20 > 0:58:22Bastards.
0:58:22 > 0:58:25Whoever you are and whatever you are.
0:58:44 > 0:58:46SOBS
0:58:46 > 0:58:51You're buffeted by this, by that, and it's nothing to do with you.
0:58:51 > 0:58:56Someone you love dies or leaves and you get ill, or you get better,
0:58:56 > 0:59:00and the whole time, everywhere, there's a canopy stretching over it.
0:59:00 > 0:59:03What canopy?
0:59:03 > 0:59:06Fate. Things as they are - irrational...
0:59:07 > 0:59:11..impersonal. The rain falls, the sun shines, the wind blows
0:59:11 > 0:59:14and if you're out there, then that's it.
0:59:16 > 0:59:21- Accident?- Call it what you like. There's damn all you can do about it.
0:59:26 > 0:59:28Well, physically, you're on the up.
0:59:29 > 0:59:33Well, now we have a firm grasp of the obvious.
0:59:33 > 0:59:37Why do you still feel so disappointed in things as they are?
0:59:38 > 0:59:42"Things as they are" are no concern of mine.
0:59:42 > 0:59:46You object to the use of the word "things"?
0:59:46 > 0:59:49- There's a lot of words I don't like. - Such as?
0:59:50 > 0:59:54- Decaffeinated. - Huh.
0:59:54 > 0:59:57- Another. - Oh. Good, good, good.
0:59:57 > 1:00:01- Are you into word games?- Yeah. Word games. I throw you a word...
1:00:01 > 1:00:04- I come back with another word. - That you associate...
1:00:04 > 1:00:10Wait, wait, wait. We gotta agree in advance, it's meaningless. Please.
1:00:10 > 1:00:14- There's no diagnostic value in it. - Fine.
1:00:16 > 1:00:20- Judge. - Er, scandal.
1:00:20 > 1:00:23- Scandals. - Wait.
1:00:23 > 1:00:25- Tables. - Restaurant.

1:01:24 > 1:01:27- Death!- Dark. - STOP!
1:01:33 > 1:01:35This game...
1:01:37 > 1:01:39It's just words, right?
1:01:39 > 1:01:44- That's what we agreed - no diagnostic value.- Just words.
1:01:44 > 1:01:50# Important words
1:01:51 > 1:01:56# Let me lie
1:01:59 > 1:02:01# They say
1:02:01 > 1:02:04# Say
1:02:04 > 1:02:07# I love you
1:02:09 > 1:02:14# Important words
1:02:15 > 1:02:19# That's all I've got
1:02:23 > 1:02:25# They say
1:02:25 > 1:02:27# Say
1:02:27 > 1:02:30# I love you...
1:02:30 > 1:02:33I'll do whatever you want.
1:02:33 > 1:02:35You just have to tell me.
1:02:37 > 1:02:40SCREAMS
1:02:47 > 1:02:50- 'Love.'- 'Fraud.' - 'Passion.'- 'Pretence.'
1:02:50 > 1:02:52- 'Woman.'- 'Fuck!' - 'Fuck.''Dirt.'
1:02:52 > 1:02:57Death. # Since we first held hands
1:02:57 > 1:03:01# Important words
1:03:03 > 1:03:06# They say I love you... Mom?
1:03:10 > 1:03:12Go back to bed.
1:03:12 > 1:03:14# Say
1:03:14 > 1:03:18- Go. - # I do. #
1:03:30 > 1:03:32Why, Mom, why?
1:03:32 > 1:03:35Why what?
1:03:35 > 1:03:38Why are we here?
1:03:39 > 1:03:43- No place else to go. - Did Dad need to go?
1:03:45 > 1:03:49- No, Danny.- Did he? - It was no good there,
1:03:49 > 1:03:52and I...I did something wrong.
1:03:52 > 1:03:54It's no good here.
1:03:54 > 1:03:57I didn't think it would be like this, but...
1:03:57 > 1:03:59We've gotta go back.
1:04:01 > 1:04:03No.
1:04:03 > 1:04:06Why not? Why not?
1:04:06 > 1:04:10It won't always be like this. No, I want you to listen.
1:04:10 > 1:04:13I've got to get a job,
1:04:13 > 1:04:15- but I will... - Mom, you're lying!
1:04:15 > 1:04:18BOTH SHOUT
1:04:18 > 1:04:21- Will you stop it? - Ah!
1:04:21 > 1:04:23Don't pinch me there.
1:04:24 > 1:04:27It makes me sore.
1:04:28 > 1:04:30What?
1:04:31 > 1:04:33What?
1:04:34 > 1:04:37How did you do that?
1:04:38 > 1:04:40You hurt yourself or what?
1:04:40 > 1:04:43I don't know.
1:04:52 > 1:04:54It's not very legible and it hurts.
1:04:54 > 1:04:57For the first time,
1:04:57 > 1:05:01I have to think about the value of every little word.
1:05:01 > 1:05:03It's just... Oh, it's dangerous.
1:05:03 > 1:05:08- It is? Why?- Well, it cuts most of the jobs a writer would get.
1:05:08 > 1:05:13You have to think about the value of the worst Hollywood rewrites.
1:05:13 > 1:05:17- Let's see how you're doing here. - Memory.- Memory.
1:05:17 > 1:05:20Upward strokes and downward slopes.
1:05:20 > 1:05:23What's this? Comma curls.
1:05:23 > 1:05:26"Making me hold..." Yeah. I can read it.
1:05:26 > 1:05:28- Making you hold what? - My breath.
1:05:28 > 1:05:31Words make me hold my breath.
1:05:32 > 1:05:35- Do they now?- Uh-huh. And that's what you're gonna say.
1:05:35 > 1:05:38Who knows where they've been?
1:05:39 > 1:05:44- We're getting a little heavy here, aren't we?- What made you say that?
1:05:47 > 1:05:49- What do you mean? - I wrote that down.
1:05:49 > 1:05:53Quote. Getting a little heavy. Comma. Aren't we? Question mark. Unquote.
1:05:53 > 1:05:56If I did...
1:05:59 > 1:06:01No. Doesn't matter.
1:06:02 > 1:06:05Ah, well... Um, keep at it.
1:06:10 > 1:06:13Quote. Well. Dash. Keep at it.
1:06:13 > 1:06:17Exclamation mark. She smiled. Comma.
1:06:17 > 1:06:19Turned away. Dot.
1:06:23 > 1:06:25Oh. Not enough page.
1:06:25 > 1:06:27Stop.
1:06:27 > 1:06:30Finish. Period.
1:06:30 > 1:06:33He's dead. Period.
1:06:33 > 1:06:35Out of it. Period.
1:06:36 > 1:06:39That's it. All done.
1:06:39 > 1:06:41Great.
1:06:46 > 1:06:48I like that.
1:06:49 > 1:06:52Now Dan Dark's old script is in the machine.
1:06:52 > 1:06:54Minus his name.
1:06:54 > 1:06:57We can run off as many copies as we need.
1:06:58 > 1:07:01We can tinker with it a little while.
1:07:03 > 1:07:06And now we deliver it.
1:07:13 > 1:07:15MOANING AND GROANING
1:07:17 > 1:07:21Must get Dark to sign the rights to my company. That's essential.
1:07:23 > 1:07:27- Move forward a bit.- Is that better? - Yeah. Oh, that's fine.
1:07:27 > 1:07:31OK. One - he signs with me.
1:07:33 > 1:07:35- Two - - GROANS
1:07:36 > 1:07:39I sell it on. I mean, we.
1:07:39 > 1:07:42We sell it on to Mail Pouch films.
1:07:42 > 1:07:44And three...
1:07:46 > 1:07:48..net profit -
1:07:48 > 1:07:50- one million. - BOTH MOAN
1:07:51 > 1:07:54- 'That's funny.' - 'One of the plus points.'
1:07:54 > 1:07:58- 'But he's gotta sign.' - MUTUAL MOANING CONTINUES
1:08:01 > 1:08:04Don't worry. I can get him to do...
1:08:05 > 1:08:07..anything!
1:08:07 > 1:08:10Oh, yeah! Oh, oh, oh!
1:08:10 > 1:08:13Good girl! Oh!
1:08:13 > 1:08:15Hmm.
1:08:24 > 1:08:26Hello.
1:08:29 > 1:08:34- Hey. - Hey. I was just thinking about you.
1:08:34 > 1:08:36- Really? - Uh-huh.
1:08:36 > 1:08:39- What were you thinking about me? - I was thinking you look terrific.
1:08:41 > 1:08:44So do you. You look better.
1:08:45 > 1:08:48- Don't, Dan.- Don't what? - Look at me like that.
1:08:48 > 1:08:52- Like what?- Like I'm your enemy. - You're involved in something.
1:08:52 > 1:08:57- Same old Danny.- It probably has something to do with my money.
1:08:57 > 1:09:00- You haven't got any money. - No.
1:09:00 > 1:09:02Not in cash, maybe.
1:09:02 > 1:09:06Not in good old-fashioned foldable, chewable lettuce, nor in coins.
1:09:06 > 1:09:10Nothing to go chink-chink in my pocket, but I have assets.
1:09:10 > 1:09:13- Like what? - My four detective stories.
1:09:14 > 1:09:19- Yeah...?- No, three of which are out of print. And the screenplay.
1:09:19 > 1:09:22- What screenplay? - Bingo!
1:09:22 > 1:09:24- Fucking bingo! - Danny, please.
1:09:24 > 1:09:28- You gotta fill me in. What are you talking about?- With my own hands,
1:09:28 > 1:09:32these dead fucking chicken feet, I wrote it six years ago.
1:09:32 > 1:09:37- Danny, what screenplay?- What screenplay? The Singing Detective!
1:09:37 > 1:09:39That's what!
1:09:42 > 1:09:47- Danny.- I put it up in the shoeboxes and I put it in the closet.
1:09:48 > 1:09:50Oh, that!
1:09:51 > 1:09:54- Oh! - Yes, that!
1:09:54 > 1:09:56Wait a minute.
1:09:56 > 1:10:00- If it's the pages I think you mean, you threw them out ages ago.- No.
1:10:00 > 1:10:03- Yes! - No. I didn't throw them out.
1:10:03 > 1:10:07Dan, yes you did! You threw them out. You said it was garbage.
1:10:07 > 1:10:09What are you doing?
1:10:17 > 1:10:21Oh, well. Easy come, easy go.
1:10:21 > 1:10:22Was that the only copy?
1:10:24 > 1:10:26Of course.
1:10:33 > 1:10:37- Did I squeeze it? Does it hurt? - My heart, you mean?
1:10:39 > 1:10:43- You are improving, though, you know. - Except I'm going crazy.- Hey now.
1:10:43 > 1:10:45OK.
1:10:45 > 1:10:49I lie here and make these connections between cheap old detective stories
1:10:49 > 1:10:52and my cheap little...
1:10:52 > 1:10:54SIGHS
1:10:56 > 1:10:59- Sex. - Yes. I know the word.
1:10:59 > 1:11:03Y'know, that's what the whole thing is about - my book, my life.
1:11:03 > 1:11:05It's about sex. Sex and lies.
1:11:09 > 1:11:11I wanna sleep with you again.
1:11:11 > 1:11:14- Dan... - I'd do it with a mirror alongside.
1:11:14 > 1:11:17Oh, stop.
1:11:17 > 1:11:21So I could look over at myself while I'm fucking and just leer.
1:11:22 > 1:11:26Damn right. It's coming up in me - the old joy juice.
1:11:26 > 1:11:30I'd flip it over to one side and come off your gleaming loins, honey,
1:11:30 > 1:11:34and just spit right in my own face.
1:11:34 > 1:11:36Oh, my God.
1:11:37 > 1:11:40- Well, it's improving. - What is?
1:11:40 > 1:11:42The spitting at myself.
1:11:42 > 1:11:46Couple of days ago, my idea of true bliss would have been...
1:11:47 > 1:11:50- ..spitting in your face. - Dan.
1:11:50 > 1:11:54What are you going to do about this rage, this hatred you have?
1:11:54 > 1:11:57What if I just write serious literature?
1:11:57 > 1:12:01Just piss in the wind like poets and priests do. Who are they?
1:12:01 > 1:12:03- Who are those two? - Who is who?
1:12:03 > 1:12:06G-G-Go to the window.
1:12:07 > 1:12:10No, I don't see anything. What is the matter?
1:12:12 > 1:12:14- Paranoia. - Thank you.
1:12:16 > 1:12:19Baby, I'm so paranoid.
1:12:19 > 1:12:23You've got everything going for you, haven't you?
1:12:27 > 1:12:31I'm telling you, people are beginning to notice us.
1:12:31 > 1:12:35- You see, they're looking at us. - They're all sick in here, anyway.
1:12:35 > 1:12:39- Are you sure that's him with the... - The nurse said so.
1:12:40 > 1:12:44Maybe we should have brought flowers or grapes.
1:12:44 > 1:12:48- What for? - Less conspicuous.
1:12:49 > 1:12:53- Are we gonna waste him, whack him? What?- Not when that dame's there.
1:12:53 > 1:12:57- We gotta make him sing. - Another song?- Shut up!
1:12:57 > 1:13:00Talk, I mean! Tell us what we're doing here.
1:13:00 > 1:13:05I'm sick of standing around like a dummy. Are we Feds or aren't we?
1:13:05 > 1:13:09- No, we're just a couple of hoods. - Shut up!- Do you need any help?
1:13:12 > 1:13:14Um, do we?
1:13:14 > 1:13:17Er, thank you, Miss. No.
1:13:17 > 1:13:21Um, we have seen all that we wish to see
1:13:21 > 1:13:25and our report will be... arriving... Let's go!
1:13:25 > 1:13:27Hey!
1:13:27 > 1:13:30What are you doing here?
1:13:30 > 1:13:34# Now when I get the blues, I get me a rocking chair
1:13:36 > 1:13:40# When I get the blues, I get me a rocking chair
1:13:42 > 1:13:45# Well, if the blues overtake me, gonna rock right away from here
1:13:47 > 1:13:50# Now, flip, flop and fly
1:13:50 > 1:13:53# I don't care if I die
1:13:53 > 1:13:55# Now, flip, flop and fly
1:13:55 > 1:13:58# I don't care if I die... #
1:14:02 > 1:14:04Where are you? Lost?
1:14:08 > 1:14:11- I have a confession to make. - Uh-huh.
1:14:13 > 1:14:17- I know more about that movie offer than I implied.- Come clean.
1:14:17 > 1:14:19I...
1:14:19 > 1:14:22I went, um, to your apartment, just to check it out,
1:14:22 > 1:14:25because you'd been in here so long. Er...
1:14:25 > 1:14:30First of all, Dan, the way that you live is unbelievable.
1:14:30 > 1:14:34- The plants, they're all dead. - Good. I hope they suffered.
1:14:34 > 1:14:37There is mould on every single living thing.
1:14:37 > 1:14:42- Who goes away and leaves Camembert on the table?- You open my mail?
1:14:42 > 1:14:45- Yes, I did. Just the bills and... - You opened my mail.
1:14:45 > 1:14:49- ..this one letter.- Don't worry about them, worry about the mould.
1:14:49 > 1:14:53- Anyway, this production... - It's about The Singing Detective.
1:14:53 > 1:14:56- Well, yes. It's from this producer, Finney.- Binney.
1:14:56 > 1:14:59- Finney. - Finney with an F?
1:14:59 > 1:15:01- Yes. - Finney with an F, not a B?
1:15:01 > 1:15:04- Right. - Not a B. Cos you know him.
1:15:04 > 1:15:07- I've never heard of him.- In what context have you never heard of him?
1:15:07 > 1:15:12- Danny, why are you so...? - Where's the letter?- Forget it.
1:15:14 > 1:15:17- He checks out? - Well, for what it's worth.
1:15:18 > 1:15:22- Would I get some dough up front? - So it says.- How much?
1:15:22 > 1:15:25- 40 grand. - Oh, shit!
1:15:25 > 1:15:29- But that's for the rights?- Right. - Who's gonna do the screenplay?
1:15:29 > 1:15:32- The producer, Finney, apparently. - Why?
1:15:32 > 1:15:35Why? All these guys, they think they can write -
1:15:35 > 1:15:38every busy little schmuck that can hold a pen the right way up.
1:15:38 > 1:15:42- Just take the money and run. - Oh, I...OK.
1:15:44 > 1:15:47- It's a good story, though. - Hmm.
1:15:47 > 1:15:49When it stays on the page.
1:15:50 > 1:15:53Uh-huh.
1:15:53 > 1:15:57More connections.
1:15:57 > 1:15:59- Connections. - Connections.
1:16:04 > 1:16:06BOTH PANT
1:16:07 > 1:16:10Oh, God!
1:16:10 > 1:16:13- Oh, we shouldn't have run. - No choice.
1:16:17 > 1:16:20- Where the fuck is this? - Why here?
1:16:20 > 1:16:24What are we doing here? Jeez! Look at that sun.
1:16:26 > 1:16:29- That is the sun, right? - It's a big fucking moon if it isn't!
1:16:29 > 1:16:32What is going on? What's going on?
1:16:32 > 1:16:35EAGLE SCREECHES
1:16:35 > 1:16:37GUNSHOTS
1:16:40 > 1:16:43What are we gonna do?
1:16:44 > 1:16:46Hey.
1:16:46 > 1:16:50There's your building over there. Way over there.
1:16:51 > 1:16:54"Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco."
1:16:54 > 1:16:58Oh, no. I hate that stuff. It gets in my throat.
1:16:58 > 1:17:01Maybe what we're looking for is in that building.
1:17:01 > 1:17:05Oh, yeah, yeah! Oh, what are we looking for?
1:17:09 > 1:17:11I don't know.
1:17:17 > 1:17:19'Nor me.'
1:17:19 > 1:17:21Nor me.
1:17:23 > 1:17:27# People see us everywhere
1:17:27 > 1:17:31# They think you really care
1:17:31 > 1:17:35# But myself I can't deceive
1:17:35 > 1:17:38# I know it's only
1:17:38 > 1:17:43# Make-believe
1:17:45 > 1:17:48# My one and only prayer
1:17:48 > 1:17:51# Is that some day you'll care
1:17:51 > 1:17:53# My hopes, my dreams come true
1:17:53 > 1:17:56# My one and only you
1:17:56 > 1:17:59# No-one will ever know
1:17:59 > 1:18:02# How much I love you so
1:18:02 > 1:18:05# My only prayer will be
1:18:05 > 1:18:07# Some day you'll care for me
1:18:07 > 1:18:10# But it's only
1:18:10 > 1:18:13# Make
1:18:13 > 1:18:17# Believe. #
1:18:17 > 1:18:18Hey, sonny.
1:18:20 > 1:18:23Tough guys don't cry.
1:18:29 > 1:18:31I know that, sir.
1:18:35 > 1:18:38Can't now separate in my mind
1:18:38 > 1:18:42the bus that took my mom and me to LA from the one that brought us back.
1:18:46 > 1:18:48Brought me back.
1:18:52 > 1:18:54I still dream about it.
1:18:55 > 1:18:59But I'm getting there. My head's getting there.
1:19:00 > 1:19:03What happened to your mom?
1:19:04 > 1:19:06She killed herself.
1:19:07 > 1:19:09How?
1:19:10 > 1:19:13In the river. In the river.
1:19:15 > 1:19:17I, er...
1:19:17 > 1:19:20- Is that really what happened?- What? - Now, now.
1:19:20 > 1:19:22"Now, now"? Wait. Excuse me. What?
1:19:24 > 1:19:26We have a woman drowned in a bathtub
1:19:26 > 1:19:30- and thrown in the river in your story.- So? What about it?
1:19:30 > 1:19:32Sometimes a cigar's just a cigar.
1:19:32 > 1:19:37I'm a bit surprised that you can duplicate such a traumatic event...
1:19:37 > 1:19:41- In what? In a commercial piece of trash?- I didn't say that.
1:19:41 > 1:19:45Dan, I read you part of your book to illustrate a point to you.
1:19:45 > 1:19:49That book... There were things in that book, Doc,
1:19:49 > 1:19:53- that are reaching out to grab me by the throat.- Why don't you let them?
1:19:54 > 1:19:57Why? Why?
1:19:57 > 1:19:58Let them.
1:20:01 > 1:20:05Me - I'm in that book and I didn't even know it.
1:20:05 > 1:20:07Yeah.
1:20:12 > 1:20:14I didn't kill my mother.
1:20:14 > 1:20:18I can't imagine that anyone would ever suggest that you did.
1:20:21 > 1:20:24You know, when I was a, er, boy...
1:20:25 > 1:20:28- Long ago and far away. - No.
1:20:29 > 1:20:31Here, now.
1:20:31 > 1:20:35I saw my mother with a greaseball who worked for my father.
1:20:36 > 1:20:38A...a partner.
1:20:40 > 1:20:44This service station in the desert that was never really viable.
1:20:44 > 1:20:47Dark And Binney. Shit, they were screwing.
1:20:47 > 1:20:52You know, noises, him on top of her. Kiss-kiss, bang-bang - all that.
1:20:53 > 1:20:57I don't know, maybe she would have gotten away with it. Maybe it was...
1:21:01 > 1:21:06My dad was a hard sort of guy to talk to. You know, he was good.
1:21:07 > 1:21:11You know, but as a kid, I couldn't seem to get close.
1:21:11 > 1:21:14He was good with engines... anything under the hood.
1:21:14 > 1:21:19He was just... He was quiet. He was just too quiet.
1:21:19 > 1:21:21I wanted to get closer.
1:21:22 > 1:21:26Oh, I mean, maybe I wasn't the kind of kid
1:21:26 > 1:21:28he would have wanted, you know.
1:21:29 > 1:21:32Reading, off on my own.
1:21:34 > 1:21:36Locked in.
1:21:36 > 1:21:39A little pain in the ass...kid.
1:21:46 > 1:21:49I wanted to get closer...and I, I...
1:21:49 > 1:21:51So, you told him about her?
1:21:51 > 1:21:55I traded her in. I traded her in for a pat on the head.
1:21:55 > 1:21:59- No. No. - I got beat instead and so did she.
1:21:59 > 1:22:03He just hit her from one side of the room to the other. We went...
1:22:05 > 1:22:07..to LA.
1:22:07 > 1:22:10But by then, I think my pa's rage had cooled down.
1:22:10 > 1:22:13I don't think he wanted us to go. I remember him waving.
1:22:16 > 1:22:19I remember him waving to us as the bus went away.
1:22:22 > 1:22:25SOBS Away.
1:22:26 > 1:22:30My mom couldn't get a job. It was just...
1:22:33 > 1:22:35She started bringing men home.
1:22:40 > 1:22:44I remember these cracks... these cracks in the ceiling.
1:22:46 > 1:22:49I remember these cracks...
1:23:10 > 1:23:12All right.
1:23:13 > 1:23:15- Stand up. - What?
1:23:15 > 1:23:18You can. You can do it.
1:23:18 > 1:23:22- You really think so? - It's now or never.
1:23:25 > 1:23:28Yes. Yes. CLEARS THROAT
1:23:28 > 1:23:31How many steps to heaven, Doc?
1:23:31 > 1:23:34- Ah, metaphysics. - Music.

1:27:33 > 1:27:36Landed you into one hell of a fix, eh?
1:27:49 > 1:27:53They got to him first. Yeah. One step ahead all the time.
1:27:54 > 1:27:58I didn't think the Feds would waste one of their own, but there you go.
1:27:58 > 1:28:00No morality these days, eh?
1:28:00 > 1:28:03I know, but I wanted to waste him on my own.
1:28:05 > 1:28:09Well, why not? I like to wash all the men off my skin.
1:28:10 > 1:28:15No. We'll give them one more chance to eliminate the warbler.
1:28:15 > 1:28:18He's a sitting duck.
1:28:19 > 1:28:23I'd like to see the bullets splatter his larynx.
1:28:24 > 1:28:28Dan Dark is the real killer.
1:28:28 > 1:28:31He poisons other people's lives.
1:28:32 > 1:28:35He thinks he's smart,
1:28:35 > 1:28:38but really, he's very, very sad.
1:28:38 > 1:28:43I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
1:28:50 > 1:28:53Can you see?
1:28:54 > 1:28:56Can you see, Mr Dark?
1:29:00 > 1:29:03You like?
1:29:07 > 1:29:12This is what you want from a woman, Dan. Believe her to be a whore.
1:29:15 > 1:29:19Make her what...you like.
1:29:20 > 1:29:22You want.
1:29:22 > 1:29:25You're so sad.
1:29:25 > 1:29:27Sad.
1:29:27 > 1:29:29And sick.
1:29:31 > 1:29:35Using your childhood to foul up the lives of those who care for you.
1:29:36 > 1:29:40Using your illness as a weapon against anything clean
1:29:40 > 1:29:42and honest and loving.
1:29:44 > 1:29:46You disgust me.
1:29:47 > 1:29:51- You sick little creep. - COCKS GUN
1:29:52 > 1:29:54You poisonous, malformed,
1:29:54 > 1:29:58cynical heap of shit.

1:30:00 > 1:30:02Ah!
1:30:02 > 1:30:06- Are you OK? - Yeah.
1:30:09 > 1:30:12OK. Sure. Why not?
1:30:12 > 1:30:15Why aren't you in the bed?
1:30:15 > 1:30:20I am not in the bed because I... stood up, almost.
1:30:20 > 1:30:25- Fantastic!- Yeah. See what I can do. I'll be walking away next week.
1:30:25 > 1:30:29Well, don't overdo it. You look... Are you hot?
1:30:29 > 1:30:34- No.- OK. That's how people get disappointed. You must take it easy.
1:30:34 > 1:30:38No, I'm fine. Day by day, in every way, I'm getting better and better.
1:30:38 > 1:30:41- Stand up while I lubricate you. - I might need...
1:30:41 > 1:30:46No, no. I was just kidding. I don't expect you to...
1:30:46 > 1:30:50I'm just so glad that you're being... It's a real improvement.
1:30:50 > 1:30:53You know, you're one of the nicest people I've met in a long time.
1:30:53 > 1:30:59- You haven't been anywhere in a long time.- One of the prettiest, too.
1:31:00 > 1:31:01Your eyes.
1:31:02 > 1:31:06- What about them? - Your mouth.
1:31:06 > 1:31:11The way you head joins your neck as though it's hesitating. No, no.
1:31:11 > 1:31:16It's reluctant... Boy, when I get out of here, I'm just really gonna write.
1:31:16 > 1:31:18MUMBLES
1:31:20 > 1:31:22No. You're the girl in the stocks.
1:31:22 > 1:31:25Hey, pull the Caddy around. Let's pull out of here.
1:31:25 > 1:31:27Stop it, Mr Dark.
1:31:28 > 1:31:32Oh. Oh, I see. Enough of these intimacies, huh?
1:31:32 > 1:31:35Hell, we hardly know each other. The only contact we've had
1:31:35 > 1:31:38is to lift up my penis and just grease around it.
1:31:38 > 1:31:42- W-What? What's the matter? - BREATHES HEAVILY
1:31:42 > 1:31:45- Phew! Boy, is it hot in here! - Lie down.

1:31:58 > 1:32:00Nicola!
1:32:00 > 1:32:04- Come on. Let's just go back into the bed.- NICOLA!
1:32:07 > 1:32:10Oh! Oh!
1:32:10 > 1:32:12Can I get some help here?
1:32:13 > 1:32:16- It's OK, nurse. It's OK. - Gentle!
1:32:16 > 1:32:19Yeah. Too heavy for you, angel.
1:32:19 > 1:32:22- Come on. Back in the bed. - I'm sorry.
1:32:22 > 1:32:26- I am. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. - Slide your feet, gumshoes.
1:32:26 > 1:32:29- Beddy bye-byes. - One small step for man,
1:32:29 > 1:32:33- one giant leap for a cripple! - Argh! Ah!
1:32:35 > 1:32:39- Who are you and what are you doing here?- A good question.
1:32:39 > 1:32:42- On the nose, as they say nowadays. - Yeah, whenever that is.
1:32:42 > 1:32:44Am I hot? Is this because I'm hot?
1:32:44 > 1:32:48I don't know you. I don't know who you are!
1:32:48 > 1:32:51- Disowning us, are you? - Nurse!
1:32:51 > 1:32:54- Nurse. Where's she gone? - Where are you going?
1:32:54 > 1:32:55Home!
1:32:55 > 1:32:59- Hands off the fucking page! - You are going nowhere.
1:33:00 > 1:33:05We get the shit and no explanations! Just one fuck-up after another.
1:33:05 > 1:33:09- And you're the scumbag that wrote it!- Wait! No! No!
1:33:09 > 1:33:12W-Where are we going?
1:33:14 > 1:33:16Where is everybody? HELP!
1:33:21 > 1:33:24SHOUTS
1:33:42 > 1:33:45SHOUTS
1:33:54 > 1:33:59- Oh, long way down, pal.- Right. It's a good last page, bucklehead.
1:33:59 > 1:34:02- Sp-lash! - Yeah! It's pooper-scooper time now!
1:34:02 > 1:34:05So, spill! Who are we? What are we?
1:34:05 > 1:34:07# When, when you smile SCREAMS

1:34:17 > 1:34:19# When you kiss me right
1:34:19 > 1:34:21# I, I don't want
1:34:21 > 1:34:24# To ever say goodnight
1:34:24 > 1:34:27# I need you

1:34:34 > 1:34:36# When, when I say SCREAMS
1:34:36 > 1:34:39# When I say be mine
1:34:39 > 1:34:44# If, if you will, I know all will be fine
1:34:44 > 1:34:48# Will, will you be mine?
1:34:48 > 1:34:51# Oh, baby, I'm in love
1:34:51 > 1:34:53# I want you near me

1:35:27 > 1:35:31Ow! We've all been in pain, one time or another.
1:35:31 > 1:35:35What I say is, when you're dealing with the devil...
1:35:36 > 1:35:38..praise the Lord
1:35:38 > 1:35:41and pass the ammunition.
1:35:42 > 1:35:44I am not wrong...

1:36:55 > 1:36:59Will you get a load of that? "Murder", he says. I call it...
1:37:00 > 1:37:04..prudent. Only one of us is gonna walk out of here.

1:37:14 > 1:37:16Ah, shucks.
1:37:16 > 1:37:19You could say we've been partners, him and me -
1:37:19 > 1:37:23like Laurel and Hardy, or Donald and Ivana.
1:37:24 > 1:37:27But, heck, this was one sick pup...
1:37:28 > 1:37:33..from way back. I reckon I'm man enough to tie my own shoelaces now.
1:37:55 > 1:37:58Hey.
1:37:58 > 1:38:03- You got my hat? - Have I got your hat?
1:38:10 > 1:38:14- Think I've cracked this case. - Yeah, I think you have, but...
1:38:14 > 1:38:18- No buts. Watch my lips. - What?
1:38:21 > 1:38:24# In my dreams, you told me
1:38:24 > 1:38:27# That you really, really care
1:38:27 > 1:38:30# In my dreams, you told me
1:38:30 > 1:38:33# It's a love you won't share
