That's the guy.

0:00:540:00:56

-Does he get to screw her first?

-Sure.

0:00:560:01:00

She could be coming and going at the same time.

0:01:000:01:03

-What's your poison?

-A saucer of milk.

0:01:200:01:25

-This looks like a cat-house.

-Think of it as a kennel.

0:01:250:01:28

Consider it thunk.

0:01:280:01:30

So, how much is that doggie in the window?

0:01:340:01:37

Which one? A lot of mongrels in this place.

0:01:370:01:41

The one with the waggedy tail.

0:01:410:01:44

# I do hope

0:01:480:01:51

# That doggie's for sale

0:01:510:01:55

# Dee-dum... #

0:01:550:01:57

Crummy tune, mister, but otherwise...

0:02:010:02:05

Otherwise?

0:02:160:02:19

BARKS

0:02:190:02:21

-OK. So, you want to be a dog?

-No. I just wanna shit on the sidewalks.

0:02:210:02:25

# How much is that doggie in the window? Arf, arf!

0:02:270:02:32

# The one with the waggly tail. #

-TURNS RADIO OFF

-Hey! I like Patti Page!

0:02:360:02:40

But does she like you?

0:02:400:02:42

We're in business.

0:02:480:02:51

ENGINE STARTS

0:02:510:02:53

-Come on. I got ya. I got ya.

-Are you new?

0:02:580:03:01

Yeah. I've been dealing with you for three months.

0:03:010:03:05

-Close the blinds.

-I'll get the blinds in a minute if you give me a second.

0:03:050:03:09

Close the fucking blinds!

0:03:090:03:12

Little fuck.

0:03:150:03:18

Do you know who I am?

0:03:180:03:21

I'm The Singing Detective.

0:03:220:03:24

SNORTS

0:03:340:03:36

Come on, bitch. Come on. Come on, bitch.

0:03:480:03:51

Do something smart.

0:03:510:03:54

HEAVY BREATHING

0:03:540:03:56

Come on!

0:03:560:03:58

Come on, bitch! Oh, yeah!

0:03:590:04:02

Come on!

0:04:040:04:07

Oh, yeah!

0:04:090:04:11

-Yeah!

-'He panted.'

0:04:110:04:13

As he drove his...throbbing... into her.

0:04:130:04:20

WHIMPERS

0:04:200:04:22

Ah! Ah! Oh!

0:04:250:04:29

What the fuck you trying to do, tear me open?

0:04:290:04:32

Who is that? What is that?

0:04:370:04:41

My God! No! No!

0:04:420:04:45

SCREAMS

0:04:450:04:47

CONTINUES SCREAMING

0:04:510:04:53

# I don't want a parrot that talks

0:05:230:05:26

# I don't want a bowl of little fishies

0:05:260:05:31

# He can't take a goldfish for a walk

0:05:310:05:35

# How much is that doggie in the window? Woof, woof!

0:05:360:05:40

# The one with the waggly tail

0:05:400:05:45

# How much is that doggie in the window? Woof, woof!

0:05:450:05:49

# I do hope that doggie's for sale

0:05:490:05:53

That's wrong. This bit. # I do hope that doggie's for sale. #

0:05:530:05:57

She's my...

0:05:570:06:00

# Home alone

0:06:000:06:02

# Hey, hey, hey, hey You're home alone

0:06:020:06:06

# Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey You're home alone

0:06:060:06:09

# Hey, hey, hey, hey You're home alone

0:06:090:06:11

# Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

0:06:110:06:14

# Well, I went to my doctor not so long ago

0:06:140:06:17

# I'm walking in a circle, I'm all alone

0:06:170:06:21

# He looked at me and said, "Good lord above!" #

0:06:210:06:24

-Good morning. You are Mr..

-Dark.

0:06:240:06:28

-Daniel Dark. Extensive lesions.

-Temperature through the roof.

0:06:280:06:33

Difficult case. We moved him after several disruptive outbursts.

0:06:330:06:37

How long have you had psoriatic arthropathy?

0:06:370:06:39

How long? Since Pearl Harbour.

0:06:390:06:43

-26 years.

-Do you have much movement in your joints?

0:06:430:06:46

Hydrocortisone injections all major joints, including toes.

0:06:460:06:50

-And the history?

-Initially, coal tar and then gold injections.

0:06:500:06:54

Indomethacin not successful. The course is prednisone.

0:06:540:06:59

Lengthening PUBA not successful and methotrexate left deposits...

0:06:590:07:04

Oh, well, then - excuse me - much nausea? Do you vomit, yes?

0:07:040:07:08

Yes.

0:07:080:07:11

Induced neutropenia. Wart-like lesions removed with...

0:07:110:07:16

You're... Er, he's... You're hyperventilating.

0:07:160:07:19

Um, are you experiencing some kind of visual dislocations?

0:07:190:07:23

Mind tricks?

0:07:230:07:25

Yesterday, he said there was a dog in the bed, chewing his ankles.

0:07:250:07:29

OK. Things are not good here. Um, how do you feel about...?

0:07:290:07:34

Mr...Dark, how do you feel about one of the new retinoids? Hmm?

0:07:340:07:39

It...it wasn't my ankles. It was chewing my balls.

0:07:390:07:44

What I'm asking is if you understand the question.

0:07:470:07:50

No! I don't! Because I have regressed

0:07:500:07:53

into the pathetic condition of total dependency, Doc.

0:07:530:07:57

In short and in the vernacular, I'm a fucking kid again.

0:07:570:08:00

Last time I had to endure anything this demeaning was in my baby buggy.

0:08:000:08:04

-I was...drooled over by slobbery cretins...

-Dark.

0:08:040:08:10

..from the cuckoo house. Thought they were doctors and nurses.

0:08:100:08:13

LAUGHS

0:08:130:08:15

What, er... What exactly did you, er...

0:08:180:08:22

What did you do for a living, Mr...Dark?

0:08:220:08:25

What DID I do?

0:08:250:08:27

I'm an author.

0:08:270:08:29

Oh. Oh.

0:08:290:08:32

-I didn't realise.

-Dan Dark.

0:08:320:08:35

Trash that doesn't sell. Detective stories about a gumshoe who warbles.

0:08:350:08:40

That sounds interesting. Um, what does...

0:08:400:08:43

MUMBLES

0:08:430:08:45

-Please! Please.

-What is it?

0:08:450:08:47

Will you please listen?

0:08:490:08:52

I can't talk when I'm flat out like this. I need...

0:08:540:08:58

Up, to sit up, please.

0:08:580:09:00

You know, I'm on a very tight schedule.

0:09:000:09:03

ELECTRONIC BUZZING

0:09:030:09:06

-Listen...

-There you go.

0:09:100:09:12

Listen. Listen!

0:09:120:09:15

I'm no hero and I've reached the end.

0:09:170:09:19

-Of what?

-My tether.

0:09:190:09:22

Come on.

0:09:220:09:24

I'd still like to get out of it, but I can't.

0:09:280:09:31

Listen, I can't...I can't stand it.

0:09:310:09:34

I really and truly can't stand it... any more.

0:09:340:09:37

I can't get on top of it. I can't tell what is from what isn't

0:09:370:09:41

and if I don't tell someone...

0:09:410:09:44

If I don't admit it, I'll never get out of it.

0:09:440:09:48

These tears! Those fucking tears!

0:09:480:09:51

Oh. I'm sorry.

0:09:540:09:56

Ooh, the shame.

0:09:560:09:58

The tears. All this oozing...useless liquid.

0:09:590:10:03

It just hurts my...skin...my face

0:10:030:10:06

and...

0:10:060:10:08

..when I laugh it hurts my jaw. I'm a prisoner inside my...

0:10:080:10:12

..my own skin.

Well, there is an upside to all this pain and...

0:11:560:12:00

..I firmly believe that.

0:12:010:12:04

Good morning.

0:12:090:12:11

Um...he's almost over the edge.

0:12:150:12:19

I think that Gibbon should see him.

0:12:190:12:21

'Pretty Nina was full of semen, comma, and bathwater. Period.'

0:12:270:12:31

The pretty head that knew too much is now emptied

0:12:310:12:35

of its last sad, cruel thought. Period.

0:12:350:12:37

Lot of products.

0:12:370:12:40

Oh, lookie here.

0:12:410:12:43

Body cream.

0:12:430:12:45

Harem Nights.

0:12:460:12:49

Is it done?

0:12:490:12:51

-This for armpits? You beat your meat with this?

-Shut up.

0:12:510:12:54

-Hey.

-Shut up!

0:12:540:12:57

VOMITS

0:12:570:12:59

Ah.

0:12:590:13:01

Just like a dame.

0:13:050:13:07

Tough guys don't know Jack.

0:13:070:13:09

They don't know that... vomit's a kind of sick. Period.

0:13:090:13:14

How are we today?

0:13:190:13:21

Hmm. I'm not too happy.

0:13:230:13:25

-I don't know about him.

-What?

0:13:250:13:29

-Or maybe I mean you.

-What do you mean?

0:13:300:13:33

Well, "How are we today?"

0:13:330:13:36

You say we. Who's the other guy?

0:13:360:13:40

-It's just a way of speaking.

-Yeah, it's the medical way.

0:13:400:13:43

Assume loss of health means loss of brain cells.

0:13:430:13:47

Do you think you have a positive attitude?

0:13:480:13:51

LAUGHS

0:13:510:13:54

Don't! You crack me up.

0:13:540:13:56

SIGHS Well, that depends on whether

0:13:560:13:59

we're talking doughnuts you dunk

0:13:590:14:01

or black, feminist lesbians.

0:14:010:14:04

I'm afraid we're both, up to a point.

0:14:040:14:07

-You know, your illness, to a large...

-Will I be able to move

0:14:070:14:11

on my own three feet? Will I hold a pen or a tit again?

0:14:110:14:15

Never mind the rhetoric. I can get that from a doctor, Doctor.

0:14:150:14:20

I have seen a lot of patients who are as bad as you,

0:14:210:14:25

but not one of them has reacted with such aggression.

0:14:250:14:28

What do they do? Sing madrigals?

0:14:280:14:30

-They don't act like they've fallen into a sewer.

-Ah.

0:14:300:14:34

See, I thought you were pushing tranquillisers.

0:14:340:14:38

I didn't realise you had a deodorant to mind.

0:14:380:14:41

-You should take them, you know - the tranquillisers.

-No. No.

0:14:410:14:45

No. And no.

0:14:450:14:48

How long are you going to see your plight through a blinding hot rage?

0:14:480:14:52

What do you live by?

0:14:520:14:55

LAUGHS W-What?

0:14:550:14:57

Come on.

0:14:570:14:59

All right. It's an embarrassing question,

0:14:590:15:02

but surely there must be something in a time of crisis.

0:15:020:15:06

What do you believe in?

0:15:080:15:10

Genocide.

0:15:130:15:15

-What?

-Genocide -

0:15:150:15:17

starting in Los Angeles and working its way eastward.

0:15:170:15:21

I believe in so many things - infanticide, insecticide,

0:15:210:15:26

c-c-cyanide, s-s-suicide.

0:15:260:15:29

AIDS.

0:15:290:15:31

OK. All right. OK.

0:15:310:15:33

I put my faith in cholesterol, caffeine, nicotine,

0:15:340:15:38

alcohol, President Bush, carbon monoxide,

0:15:380:15:41

masturbation, nuclear first strike, the Reader's Digest and...

0:15:410:15:46

Ah! Properly labellling poisons.

0:15:460:15:48

-Are you done?

-But most of all, Doc,

0:15:480:15:52

I believe in the one good thing that hurtles out of people's mouths.

0:15:520:15:58

GROWLS Vomit!

0:15:580:16:00

Puke. The Technicolour yawn.

0:16:000:16:03

-Cookie dough!

-There is a good man here.

0:16:040:16:08

-He's new. He's very alert and sympathetic. Doctor Gibbon.

-Doctor?

0:16:080:16:12

Of what? Skin, joints, zoology?

0:16:140:16:17

-He's a psychotherapist.

-GO FUCK YOURSELF!

0:16:180:16:22

You will never get on top of your condition

0:16:280:16:31

until you deal with your bitterness.

0:16:310:16:34

Start over. Reassemble yourself.

0:16:360:16:39

Reassemble myself?

0:16:440:16:47

From what?

0:16:500:16:52

# Many a tear has to fall

0:16:540:16:58

# But it's all

0:17:000:17:03

# In the game

0:17:030:17:05

# All in the wonderful game

0:17:090:17:11

# That we know

0:17:120:17:16

# As love

0:17:160:17:18

# You have words

0:17:220:17:25

# With him

0:17:250:17:27

# And your future's

0:17:280:17:31

# Looking dim... #

0:17:310:17:35

Sorry, guys. I need five.

0:17:360:17:38

But you're breaking my heart.

0:17:380:17:41

-See you 'gators later. BAND:

-In a while, reptile.

0:17:420:17:46

Dan Dark.

0:17:530:17:55

Is it you? The guy I've waited for ever since sax invented the phone?

0:18:000:18:04

The big cheese with the fat contract who loves the way I tickle a tune?

0:18:040:18:10

-Sorry, no.

-That's right, trouble.

0:18:100:18:13

You're in trouble.

0:18:130:18:16

I heard you can help me... get results.

0:18:160:18:19

I get the cases the polite guys pass.

0:18:190:18:22

I get the jobs the guys who don't sing don't get. What's the story?

0:18:220:18:26

-Who's the dame?

-How do you know there's a dame?

0:18:260:18:30

There's always a dame.

0:18:300:18:32

Tell me, am I right... or am I right?

0:18:330:18:37

There's always a dame.

0:18:390:18:41

Am I right or am I right?

0:18:410:18:43

There's always the money, too.

0:18:430:18:47

Talking to yourself again?

0:18:470:18:49

I had on my best pyjamas with red stripes and blue forget-me-nots.

0:18:540:18:59

I was powdered up to the armpits with talc between each toe.

0:18:590:19:03

A million bucks was about to call.

0:19:030:19:06

I was ready for it.

0:19:060:19:08

I see.

0:19:080:19:11

High temperature again?

0:19:110:19:13

When she moved her lips, I felt like a tulip in the dry season

0:19:130:19:17

when the first raindrops smacked into it. I've decided to open up.

0:19:170:19:21

Boy, was I green...or do I mean wet?

GLOVES TWANG LOUDLY

0:19:290:19:31

-Come to grease me, did you?

-If you're ready.

0:19:340:19:36

-Ready as a back axle.

-OK.

0:19:360:19:41

Let's get these off.

0:19:410:19:44

-I'll try not to hurt.

-OK.

0:19:440:19:46

You look better.

0:19:540:19:56

'Oh, cock! Cock, do not crow!

0:19:590:20:02

'Poor cock.

0:20:030:20:05

'Do not stir.

0:20:050:20:08

'Think of something...boring.

0:20:080:20:11

'Something that's very, very boring.

0:20:110:20:14

'Oh! Quick!

'The Mormon Tabernacle Choir now brings you...

-Oh.

-Sorry, is it too hard?

-Oh...fine!

WHIMPERS

0:22:310:22:33

I'm so sorry.

0:22:450:22:47

It's the only part of me that still sort of functions.

0:22:470:22:50

We don't have to talk about it, do we?

0:22:500:22:54

No.

0:22:560:22:58

They say she was with me, but I swear to God...

0:22:580:23:00

-Swear to something you believe in, boy.

-I swear on my mother's grave.

0:23:000:23:05

-Nina left me unharmed.

-That her name? The whore?

-Why call her that?

0:23:050:23:09

Dog shit by another name smells just as foul, pal,

0:23:090:23:13

and it sticks to the bottom of your shoe no matter what you call it.

0:23:130:23:17

It's nasty. Do you want me to clean it up?

0:23:170:23:20

Find out what happened and prove nothing happened to her cos of me.

0:23:200:23:24

-But it did.

-What?

0:23:240:23:28

Wouldn't that be the way her mother would see it?

0:23:280:23:31

-Her mother?

-You just swore on your mother's grave, Mr Binney.

0:23:310:23:36

I'm not hiring you for a mouthful of humbug, Mr Dark!

0:23:360:23:40

-Argh!

-Maybe the cops are fixing a fire, Binney.

0:23:400:23:43

Maybe you're playing some deeper game.

0:23:430:23:47

-You're not a nice guy, Dark.

-Ah, but you'll pay me, Binney.

0:23:480:23:52

You'll pay me double for the humbug.

0:23:520:23:55

'Period. Part of the service. Period.

0:23:550:23:59

'End paragraph.'

0:23:590:24:01

-All right. So, er, you're gonna wait for the man, right?

-Yeah. All right.

0:24:240:24:28

My book.

0:24:480:24:51

What's it doing here?

0:24:510:24:53

What's going on?

0:24:530:24:55

Your book, Mr Dark.

0:24:570:24:59

-Happened to pick up a copy the other day.

-Oh, yeah?

0:24:590:25:03

-Where? Fertiliser factory?

-He said, out of the side of his mouth.

0:25:030:25:07

-Gibbon. How are you, Mr Dark?

-Can't...shake.

0:25:070:25:12

-Oh, yes, of course.

-I wouldn't if I could.

0:25:120:25:16

-I'm here under protest.

-I see.

0:25:160:25:19

A kidnap.

0:25:190:25:21

Little men shouldn't sit where their feet don't touch the floor.

0:25:250:25:29

It makes me think of nursery rhymes.

0:25:290:25:32

-You don't wanna see me?

-What sharpness(!) What perception(!)

0:25:330:25:38

And you don't like it at all that I've got this.

0:25:380:25:42

-It's full of clues.

-No. It's full of pages.

0:25:430:25:46

Clues are what you're supposed to find in a detective story.

0:25:460:25:50

Am I right or am I right?

0:25:500:25:53

Jesus, you're good.

0:25:540:25:56

I know clues are supposed to lead you to the killer but, er,

0:25:560:26:00

don't they reveal the victim a little more clearly?

0:26:000:26:04

You think you're being interesting, don't you?

0:26:040:26:07

If this was a movie, it would be on the cutting-room floor.

0:26:070:26:11

-Does your book worry you?

-I wanna go to my bed. It's vivid and exciting.

0:26:110:26:15

-Well, you don't have many visitors.

-Ooh.

0:26:150:26:18

Does your wife come and visit you or do you stop her?

0:26:180:26:22

-I'm not married. Period.

-Right. Yes, I see.

0:26:220:26:26

Stop it! Stop staring at me. Have you never seen a human pizza before?

0:26:310:26:36

You... You don't like women, do you?

0:26:370:26:40

Which ones? Young ones, old ones, fat ones, faithful ones?

0:26:410:26:45

-Virgins, whores? Try and be specific, Doc.

-Maybe you think you like 'em,

0:26:450:26:50

but, er, my guess is, you don't like sex.

0:26:500:26:54

How do you spell that? That's not a word you see much nowadays.

0:26:550:26:59

You probably think you do. Sex.

0:26:590:27:02

You probably think about it all the time. I know I do.

0:27:020:27:06

If I say fuck you, does that mean yes?

0:27:060:27:11

Well, isn't it clear you regard sexual intercourse with distaste,

0:27:130:27:19

-or...perhaps even a little fear?

-SCOFFS

0:27:190:27:22

What, am I trapped in here with a fruitcake?

0:27:220:27:25

-Here, for example, on page 116.

-This is against the Geneva Convention.

0:27:250:27:29

-I'll read you a passage out of your own book.

-No!

0:27:290:27:32

-No?

-SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS!

# So alone and blue... #

0:28:110:28:13

-I don't wish to upset you, Mr Dark.

-I'm just walking in the rain, Doc.

0:28:160:28:20

You know you need help. You're too aware of your condition to deny it.

0:28:200:28:25

I was just collecting raindrops.

0:28:250:28:27

Most chronic skin patients are on tranquillisers or antidepressants.

0:28:270:28:32

See, the skin is very personal.

0:28:320:28:35

It's, er, tempting to believe that the poisons of the mind have somehow

0:28:350:28:39

erupted onto the surface of the skin.

0:28:390:28:42

"Unclean, unclean," you shout,

0:28:420:28:46

ringing your leper's bell,

0:28:460:28:48

warding us all off. That'll destroy you.

0:28:480:28:53

Yes, I think you know that, or at least, part of you does.

0:28:530:28:57

-You can be helped.

-Yeah, with a Mickey Finn.

0:28:570:29:01

-Now, why mimic that stuff?

-What stuff?

0:29:020:29:06

The side of you mouth kinda stuff. That Mean Streets kinda stuff.

0:29:060:29:10

I'm sorry. What kinda stuff?

0:29:100:29:13

My feeling is that, er, after I've read some of your prose...

0:29:150:29:21

-Ho-ho. Hee-hee.

-You didn't start out to write in this way.

0:29:210:29:25

-What would you have preferred to have written?

-If I had the talent?

0:29:290:29:33

No, of course I don't mean that.

0:29:330:29:35

No. Go ahead. Be a critic. You got the face for it.

0:29:350:29:39

If you like, all right. Er, if you had the talent...?

0:29:390:29:44

If I had the talent, one-liners for Michael Jackson.

0:29:440:29:48

Two-liners for Helen Keller, if it wouldn't be stretching her too much.

0:29:480:29:52

Maybe traffic citations for Ted Kennedy. Who knows?

0:29:520:29:56

It's just one word after another.

0:29:560:29:58

All the problems of the world start with the next goddamn word.

0:29:580:30:02

-It's not incriminating.

-What isn't?

0:30:020:30:05

Telling me what you would prefer to write.

0:30:050:30:09

I'd like to praise the loving God and all his loving creation.

0:30:160:30:21

To have seen...

0:30:210:30:24

..hosts of translucent angels

0:30:240:30:27

ascending spinning shafts of golden light

0:30:270:30:30

0:30:300:30:33

Hell, they'd all have these massive titties, wouldn't they?

0:30:330:30:37

Well, there is one part here

0:30:370:30:39

that doesn't seem to fit in with the rest. Here it is.

0:35:550:35:58

-Dad just kept waving.

-What?

0:35:580:36:02

-I said, how far is it?

-About 200 miles.

0:36:040:36:09

Will we like it? Los Angeles?

0:36:210:36:24

Mom?

0:36:260:36:29

It'll be dark and full of gangsters.

0:36:290:36:32

I'm afraid he had to be sedated.

0:36:550:36:57

He's been asleep most of the day.

0:36:570:37:00

-Poor man.

-They're trying him on a new drug.

0:37:020:37:05

Well, you know that, of course.

0:37:050:37:07

Of course.

0:37:070:37:09

Mr Dark?

0:37:110:37:13

-Your wife.

-You know what, maybe we shouldn't wake him.

0:37:130:37:17

They wanted to know if you came. The doctors.

0:37:230:37:26

They'd like to speak with you.

0:37:260:37:29

Well, yeah. Maybe I should speak to somebody.

0:37:290:37:32

-Least I won't get my head bitten off.

-Sorry?

0:37:320:37:35

Oh, er, if he wakes up and sees me here, you'll know what I mean.

0:37:350:37:40

Dan Dark, darker, darkest, kind of thing.

0:37:410:37:44

Actually, I'm gonna go.

0:37:440:37:47

I think...I shouldn't have come.

0:37:470:37:50

-I shouldn't even try.

-Hey.

0:37:500:37:53

Farewell, my lovely.

0:38:200:38:25

-I'm so sorry. Is there a problem?

-Yes. There's a problem.

0:38:270:38:32

You're the problem! Stop the yelling! It's disgusting.

0:38:320:38:36

You should be ashamed of yourself. You stop it at once.

0:38:360:38:39

-I so don't want to be disruptive.

-Good.

There are always things that bewilder the children, Mr Dark.

-Accept it, yes?

-Hmm. Accept the sky, accept the birds,

0:39:230:39:27

accept bird shit.

Hmm. Has your wife been to visit you yet?

Ah! There you are.

0:39:400:39:42

You're looking better.

0:39:420:39:45

-Uh-huh. Am I?

-Yeah. Your posture, too. Less painful.

Er, maybe.

0:39:480:39:50

-You know, you ought to let those neck muscles relax.

-Argh!

0:39:500:39:54

Forgive me, I, er...

0:39:540:39:56

That's why I...I just... If you could just turn your head.

0:39:560:40:01

You'd get fewer headaches that way.

0:40:010:40:04

-This is OK.

-Oh. You do, don't you? Severe ones.

0:40:040:40:08

There's no doubt that as a result, your perceptions are distorted.

0:40:090:40:13

Yeah. I can see around corners and right up your hairy little...

0:40:130:40:17

Not to mention that ugly temper.

0:40:170:40:19

MUMBLES

0:40:190:40:21

Hmm.

0:40:230:40:25

What do you think? Do you think it's time you went back to work again?

0:40:250:40:30

Tell me how, Doctor Do-Nothing.

0:40:300:40:33

I never write anything down myself. I dictate. Have you tried it?

0:40:330:40:37

With whom? Question mark.

0:40:370:40:40

Oh, there are people.

0:40:400:40:42

-Agencies.

-Somebody being getting to you?

0:40:420:40:45

-What do you mean?

-Has a certain whore of my former acquaintance

0:40:450:40:50

been pushing her hard little nose into my affairs?

0:40:500:40:54

Mr Dark... do you plan to get better?

0:40:550:40:59

Hmm?

0:41:010:41:03

Chronic illness is a shelter.

0:41:030:41:05

A cave in the rocks, into which a wounded spirit can safely crawl.

0:41:070:41:11

-Some cave.

-Oh, no. Not very comfortable. Not at all.

0:41:110:41:14

There are bats in it.

0:41:140:41:16

Squeaking rodents with wings of skin and fur,

0:41:170:41:21

that hang upside down, crunching beetles in their teeth.

0:41:210:41:25

-But you know all about that. You know about bats.

-Shut up, shrimp!

0:41:250:41:29

-You turned. You turned!

-KNOCK AT DOOR

0:41:290:41:32

I did.

0:41:320:41:34

Not now.

0:41:350:41:37

-Who was that?

-Uh?

0:41:390:41:41

What's that? That's progress, Mr Dark.

0:41:410:41:44

Who knows how far it can go?

0:41:440:41:47

What, from the neck down, you mean?

0:41:470:41:49

If you're thinking the other way around,

0:41:490:41:52

-if you wanna get inside my head, you better forget it.

-Oh. Good.

0:41:520:41:58

Wait, can't you?

0:42:120:42:14

-He's asleep.

-Who is?

0:42:140:42:18

-My boy.

-You mean you've got a kid in here?

0:42:180:42:21

Jesus!

0:42:210:42:23

Listen, doll, when I fuck, I like to make a noise, OK?

0:42:230:42:26

What a disgusting disease.

0:42:400:42:43

Gee, thanks.

0:42:440:42:46

-Dan?

-Sit down. Sit down. Why not?

0:42:510:42:54

-Keep the laughs coming.

-Who's laughing?

0:42:540:42:58

You are, beyond a shadow of a doubt, an exceptionally beautiful woman...

0:43:050:43:09

at your peak.

0:43:090:43:12

That sounds like a death sentence.

0:43:120:43:15

It is a death sentence.

0:43:150:43:17

Three months I've been in this fucking bed, you know that?

0:43:170:43:21

Where you been? Who are you? What are you? I don't know.

0:43:210:43:25

I hallucinate now and then. You know what?

0:43:250:43:28

The past, the present. They're all in that cheap old book of mine

0:43:280:43:32

and I didn't even know it.

0:43:320:43:34

-So are you, honey.

-Me?

-Uh-huh.

0:43:340:43:37

'Nicola.'

0:43:370:43:39

You are a filthy, predatory,

0:43:440:43:47

totally wanton bitch who was always in heat and liked to fuck.

0:43:470:43:51

Don't. Don't nod now. Don't nod ever.

0:43:510:43:55

Whatever I said, I still loved you.

0:44:000:44:03

Liar.

0:44:060:44:08

I have some things to discuss with you.

0:44:110:44:14

There's a film company that wants to buy the rights

0:44:140:44:18

to that first book.

0:44:180:44:20

-What?

-The Singing Detective. The one set in the fifties.

0:44:200:44:25

The book you've been talking about.

0:44:250:44:28

-They want it for Roger Rabbit, right?

-No.

0:44:280:44:31

They seem, um...

0:44:310:44:34

..keen.

0:44:340:44:36

Keen?

0:44:360:44:38

All right, what's this got to do with you?

0:44:390:44:42

You're broke and you haven't written a word for over a year.

0:44:420:44:46

Dan, I just want you to be able to support yourself.

0:44:460:44:51

Oh, God. I see. Baby, baby, still thinks I owe her money.

0:44:510:44:57

-No.

-You could work it out at, say, 500 dollars a screw.

0:44:570:45:01

Isn't that a top rate...for hookers?

0:45:010:45:04

Is it? I wouldn't know.

0:45:060:45:08

Who are you sleeping with at the moment?

0:45:100:45:12

-Myself, mostly.

-Mostly?

0:45:170:45:20

-Mostly.

-Mostly means not always.

0:45:200:45:24

Right, if you want to be precise.

0:45:240:45:27

Dan, you need to function.

0:45:330:45:36

-You just... You need to get...

-What happened to the screenplay?

0:45:370:45:41

-What screenplay?

-The one in my head.

0:45:410:45:44

What are you talking about?

0:45:440:45:47

That is the worst thing about a detective story - the plot.

0:45:470:45:50

It's the best thing, too. I mean, hell, isn't it the only thing?

0:45:500:45:54

You got to work it out - a rat in a maze.

0:45:540:45:57

-That's what I'm trying to do now.

-With a story you've already written.

0:45:570:46:01

-It grows.

-How, when you already know what's going to happen?

0:46:040:46:10

Where is it? The fucking screenplay - The Singing Detective!

0:46:100:46:15

-I put in in shoe boxes.

-Shoeboxes?

0:46:150:46:17

YES! FUCKING SHOEBOXES!

0:46:170:46:21

Danny.

0:46:240:46:27

SIGHS

0:46:310:46:33

What do I know?

0:46:330:46:36

Dan. You need to write something new.

0:46:440:46:47

Something real. Like this, like everything that's happening now.

0:46:470:46:52

-Not a silly detective story. Something real.

-All solutions.

0:46:520:46:57

-Well?

-All solutions and no clues, right?

0:46:570:47:01

Cos that's what the dumbheads want. They want a serious novel, right,

0:47:010:47:06

plus descriptions of the goddamn sky.

0:47:060:47:08

I want it the other way around - all clues, no solutions,

0:47:100:47:13

cos that's the way...things are.

0:47:130:47:17

Now...

0:47:170:47:19

..why do you know about this?

0:47:230:47:25

Why do you know? Come on!

0:47:250:47:28

Were you a party to the offer in the first place?

0:47:280:47:32

Tell me what's going on. Tell me!

0:47:320:47:34

TELL ME!

0:47:360:47:38

Paranoia, you know.

0:47:400:47:42

-You fucked 'em.

-Dan, stop.

0:47:440:47:48

Do you want my help or not?

0:47:480:47:51

-Do I want... Do I want you to help me?

-Well, you think on it.

0:47:510:47:55

-You go fuck yourself.

-OK.

0:47:550:47:57

I love you, too, Dan.

0:47:570:48:00

'Hey, Binney.

0:48:140:48:16

'Quote. No luck. Period.

0:48:160:48:20

'No good. Period.

0:48:200:48:22

-'He was getting very suspicious!'

-'No luck. No good.'

0:48:220:48:25

He's getting very suspicious.

0:48:250:48:28

-Try again, right?

-I don't know.

0:48:290:48:33

We could be sued for misrepresentation

0:48:330:48:35

-if he doesn't sign.

-I'll deliver.

0:48:350:48:37

I said I would. He still looks awful.

0:48:370:48:41

-Don't feel sorry for him.

-I hope it goes into his fucking bones!

0:48:410:48:46

You look terrific when you're mad. Like a hornet...

0:48:480:48:52

..drowning in the Tabasco.

0:48:520:48:55

That's something Dan Dark would say. You sound like Dan.

0:48:550:48:59

LAUGHTER

0:49:010:49:03

'Sorry, Charlie.'

# How much is that doggie in the window?

0:49:080:49:11

# ..Arou-ou-ou-ound... #

-How's it going?

-Halfway there.

0:51:360:51:39

Halfway to a million bucks.

0:51:430:51:46

Disdain. Period.

0:51:520:51:57

-I have some nice things, if that's what you mean.

-Nice? How? Expensive.

0:51:590:52:03

Our tastes are different.

0:52:030:52:05

You're more at home in...bars and sleazy dancehalls.

0:52:050:52:09

Oh, and the occasional rotary dinner and state prison dance,

0:52:090:52:14

where I don't leave my hat.

0:52:140:52:16

-Pardon?

-That's how the cops got onto you, Binney.

0:52:190:52:22

You left your fedora on the bar when you picked up that whore.

0:52:220:52:26

Binney.

0:52:290:52:32

-Money, money, money.

-What about it?

0:52:350:52:38

-You got a lot?

-I do all right.

0:52:380:52:42

-What at, I'm wondering?

-I buy.

0:52:420:52:45

-I sell.

-So do second-hand rooms.

0:52:450:52:49

What do you buy? What do you sell?

0:52:490:52:52

-That's my business.

-Naked flesh?

0:52:520:52:55

-What?

-Oh, yeah. That's what you buy. That's what you sell.

0:52:560:53:00

That's ridiculous. I deal in antiques...

0:53:000:53:02

The only antiques are some of the distinguished gentlemen

0:53:020:53:06

-you service with young girls.

-Are you calling me a pimp?

0:53:060:53:10

Yes. You don't mind, do you?

0:53:100:53:13

You're a fantasist, Dark.

0:53:150:53:17

-Get out. Don't let me see you again.

-What about my fee?

-Fee? What fee?

0:53:200:53:24

It took me five days between my syncopations to figure out

0:53:240:53:28

that you set up that poor girl, Nina. Why, I say to myself, why?

0:53:280:53:34

-Just get out.

-Know what I think?

0:53:340:53:36

-She was killed right here in this museum.

-You're crazy.

0:53:360:53:40

The cops can be bought and sold, too. Put it back in the drawer.

0:53:400:53:44

-What?

-Put it back in the drawer,

0:53:440:53:48

or you'll get a hole in your head where the wind from your ass can go.

0:53:480:53:52

You really are crazy.

0:53:520:53:55

-You're out of your cheap little mind.

-Sure.

0:53:550:53:58

Do it. I've been shot at once tonight. That's once too often.

0:53:580:54:03

OK. OK.

0:54:030:54:06

Argh!

0:54:090:54:11

Nina - she wasn't one of your commodities, but her friend was.

0:54:130:54:16

That girl they scraped up under the Hollywood sign! Cops said she jumped.

0:54:160:54:20

-It was your pals.

-Pals?

0:54:200:54:22

Your pals thought she passed something to Nina. Take no chances.

0:54:220:54:27

Not with you. Am I right or am I right?

0:54:270:54:31

-Now they want me, you slimy slug!

-Argh!

0:54:310:54:36

Go on.

0:54:370:54:39

Go on, I enjoy cheap fiction.

0:54:390:54:43

Me? No. I'm no longer in your employ.

0:54:430:54:46

Fee? What fee? You hired me to find out about Nina when you already knew.

0:54:460:54:51

Why? I'll figure it out.

0:54:510:54:53

-And...

-And?

0:54:530:54:57

I sing for people who dance, Binney.

0:54:580:55:00

Name your tune, I'll warble it. But when you dance,

0:55:000:55:04

-your feet won't be touching the floor.

-You're cheap, Dark.

0:55:040:55:09

Ten cents a dance.

0:55:090:55:11

WHISTLES

0:55:330:55:35

Mr Dark?

0:56:260:56:27

That's my handle. I was born at daybreak.

0:56:300:56:34

-I wanna talk.

-You followed me to make sure I wasn't followed. I was.

0:56:340:56:38

Stay back. Keep out of sight.

0:56:380:56:41

Meet me at the Laguna in a half an hour.

0:56:410:56:44

Little fool. GUNSHOT

0:56:450:56:48

GROANS I warned you.

0:57:030:57:05

I told you, baby.

0:57:060:57:09

Aw, gee. Silly.

0:57:120:57:15

Poor little thing.

0:57:150:57:17

Parlo.

0:57:170:57:19

What? You mean the Parlo atomic laboratory? It's in LA.

0:57:220:57:27

Binney. Mark...Binney.

0:57:280:57:31

He's providing them with girls.

0:57:330:57:35

Right? Girls like you.

0:57:350:57:38

Nina?

0:57:380:57:40

-They're rats.

-They're getting to the atomic scientists!

0:57:410:57:46

Yes? At Parlo?

0:57:470:57:50

Using sex.

0:57:500:57:52

Sex.

0:57:540:57:56

Sex.

0:58:050:58:07

Sex.

0:58:150:58:17

I'll get ya.

0:58:170:58:20

Bastards.

0:58:200:58:22

Whoever you are and whatever you are.

0:58:220:58:25

SOBS

0:58:440:58:46

You're buffeted by this, by that, and it's nothing to do with you.

0:58:460:58:51

Someone you love dies or leaves and you get ill, or you get better,

0:58:510:58:56

and the whole time, everywhere, there's a canopy stretching over it.

0:58:560:59:00

What canopy?

0:59:000:59:03

Fate. Things as they are - irrational...

0:59:030:59:06

..impersonal. The rain falls, the sun shines, the wind blows

0:59:070:59:11

and if you're out there, then that's it.

0:59:110:59:14

-Accident?

-Call it what you like. There's damn all you can do about it.

0:59:160:59:21

Well, physically, you're on the up.

0:59:260:59:28

Well, now we have a firm grasp of the obvious.

0:59:290:59:33

Why do you still feel so disappointed in things as they are?

0:59:330:59:37

"Things as they are" are no concern of mine.

0:59:380:59:42

You object to the use of the word "things"?

0:59:420:59:46

-There's a lot of words I don't like.

-Such as?

0:59:460:59:49

-Decaffeinated.

-Huh.

0:59:500:59:54

-Another.

-Oh. Good, good, good.

0:59:540:59:57

-Are you into word games?

-Yeah. Word games. I throw you a word...

0:59:571:00:01

-I come back with another word.

-That you associate...

1:00:011:00:04

Wait, wait, wait. We gotta agree in advance, it's meaningless. Please.

1:00:041:00:10

-There's no diagnostic value in it.

-Fine.

1:00:101:00:14

-Judge.

-Er, scandal.

1:00:161:00:20

-Scandals.

-Wait.

1:00:201:00:23

-Tables.

-Restaurant.

1:00:231:00:25

Gastroenteritis.

1:00:251:00:28

-Honey.

-Comb.

1:00:281:00:30

-Blonde.

-Honey.

1:01:241:01:27

This game...

1:01:331:01:35

It's just words, right?

1:01:371:01:39

-That's what we agreed - no diagnostic value.

-Just words.

1:01:391:01:44

# Important words

1:01:441:01:50

# Let me lie

1:01:511:01:56

# They say

1:01:591:02:01

# Say

1:02:011:02:04

# I love you

1:02:041:02:07

# Important words

1:02:091:02:14

# That's all I've got

1:02:151:02:19

# They say

1:02:231:02:25

# Say

1:02:251:02:27

# I love you...

1:02:271:02:30

I'll do whatever you want.

1:02:301:02:33

You just have to tell me.

1:02:331:02:35

-'Fraud.'

-'Passion.'

-'Pretence.'

# They say I love you... Mom?

1:03:031:03:06

Go back to bed.

1:03:101:03:12

# Say

1:03:121:03:14

-Go.

-# I do. #

1:03:141:03:18

Why, Mom, why?

1:03:301:03:32

Why what?

1:03:321:03:35

Why are we here?

1:03:351:03:38

-No place else to go.

-Did Dad need to go?

1:03:391:03:43

-No, Danny.

-Did he?

-It was no good there,

1:03:451:03:49

and I...I did something wrong.

1:03:491:03:52

It's no good here.

1:03:521:03:54

I didn't think it would be like this, but...

1:03:541:03:57

We've gotta go back.

1:03:571:03:59

No.

1:04:011:04:03

Why not? Why not?

1:04:031:04:06

It won't always be like this. No, I want you to listen.

1:04:061:04:10

I've got to get a job,

1:04:101:04:13

-but I will...

-Mom, you're lying!

1:04:131:04:15

BOTH SHOUT

1:04:151:04:18

-Will you stop it?

-Ah!

1:04:181:04:21

Don't pinch me there.

1:04:211:04:23

It makes me sore.

1:04:241:04:27

What?

1:04:281:04:30

What?

1:04:311:04:33

How did you do that?

1:04:341:04:37

You hurt yourself or what?

1:04:381:04:40

I don't know.

1:04:401:04:43

It's not very legible and it hurts.

1:04:521:04:54

For the first time,

1:04:541:04:57

I have to think about the value of every little word.

1:04:571:05:01

It's just... Oh, it's dangerous.

1:05:011:05:03

-It is? Why?

-Well, it cuts most of the jobs a writer would get.

1:05:031:05:08

You have to think about the value of the worst Hollywood rewrites.

1:05:081:05:13

-Let's see how you're doing here.

-Memory.

-Memory.

1:05:131:05:17

Upward strokes and downward slopes.

1:05:171:05:20

What's this? Comma curls.

1:05:201:05:23

"Making me hold..." Yeah. I can read it.

1:05:231:05:26

-Making you hold what?

-My breath.

1:05:261:05:28

Words make me hold my breath.

1:05:281:05:31

-Do they now?

-Uh-huh. And that's what you're gonna say.

1:05:321:05:35

Who knows where they've been?

1:05:351:05:38

-We're getting a little heavy here, aren't we?

-What made you say that?

1:05:391:05:44

-What do you mean?

-I wrote that down.

1:05:471:05:49

Quote. Getting a little heavy. Comma. Aren't we? Question mark. Unquote.

1:05:491:05:53

If I did...

1:05:531:05:56

No. Doesn't matter.

1:05:591:06:01

Ah, well... Um, keep at it.

1:06:021:06:05

Quote. Well. Dash. Keep at it.

1:06:101:06:13

Exclamation mark. She smiled. Comma.

1:06:131:06:17

Turned away. Dot.

1:06:171:06:19

Oh. Not enough page.

1:06:231:06:25

Stop.

1:06:251:06:27

Finish. Period.

1:06:271:06:30

He's dead. Period.

1:06:301:06:33

Out of it. Period.

1:06:331:06:35

That's it. All done.

1:06:361:06:39

Great.

1:06:391:06:41

I like that.

1:06:461:06:48

Now Dan Dark's old script is in the machine.

1:06:491:06:52

Minus his name.

1:06:521:06:54

We can run off as many copies as we need.

1:06:541:06:57

We can tinker with it a little while.

1:06:581:07:01

And now we deliver it.

1:07:031:07:06

MOANING AND GROANING

1:07:131:07:15

Must get Dark to sign the rights to my company. That's essential.

1:07:171:07:21

-Move forward a bit.

-Is that better?

-Yeah. Oh, that's fine.

1:07:231:07:27

OK. One - he signs with me.

1:07:271:07:31

-Two -

-GROANS

1:07:331:07:35

I sell it on. I mean, we.

1:07:361:07:39

We sell it on to Mail Pouch films.

1:07:391:07:42

And three...

1:07:421:07:44

..net profit -

1:07:461:07:48

-one million.

-BOTH MOAN

1:07:481:07:50

-'That's funny.'

-'One of the plus points.'

1:07:511:07:54

-'But he's gotta sign.'

-MUTUAL MOANING CONTINUES

1:07:541:07:58

Don't worry. I can get him to do...

1:08:011:08:04

..anything!

1:08:051:08:07

Oh, yeah! Oh, oh, oh!

1:08:071:08:10

Good girl! Oh!

1:08:101:08:13

Hmm.

1:08:131:08:15

Hello.

1:08:241:08:26

-Hey.

-Hey. I was just thinking about you.

1:08:291:08:34

-Really?

-Uh-huh.

1:08:341:08:36

-What were you thinking about me?

-I was thinking you look terrific.

1:08:361:08:39

So do you. You look better.

1:08:411:08:44

-Don't, Dan.

-Don't what?

-Look at me like that.

1:08:451:08:48

-Like what?

-Like I'm your enemy.

-You're involved in something.

1:08:481:08:52

-Same old Danny.

-It probably has something to do with my money.

1:08:521:08:57

-You haven't got any money.

-No.

1:08:571:09:00

Not in cash, maybe.

1:09:001:09:02

Not in good old-fashioned foldable, chewable lettuce, nor in coins.

1:09:021:09:06

Nothing to go chink-chink in my pocket, but I have assets.

1:09:061:09:10

-Like what?

-My four detective stories.

1:09:101:09:13

-Yeah...?

-No, three of which are out of print. And the screenplay.

1:09:141:09:19

-What screenplay?

-Bingo!

1:09:191:09:22

-Fucking bingo!

-Danny, please.

1:09:221:09:24

-You gotta fill me in. What are you talking about?

-With my own hands,

1:09:241:09:28

these dead fucking chicken feet, I wrote it six years ago.

1:09:281:09:32

-Danny, what screenplay?

-What screenplay? The Singing Detective!

1:09:321:09:37

That's what!

1:09:371:09:39

-Danny.

-I put it up in the shoeboxes and I put it in the closet.

1:09:421:09:47

Oh, that!

1:09:481:09:50

-Oh!

-Yes, that!

1:09:511:09:54

Wait a minute.

1:09:541:09:56

-If it's the pages I think you mean, you threw them out ages ago.

-No.

1:09:561:10:00

-Yes!

-No. I didn't throw them out.

1:10:001:10:03

Dan, yes you did! You threw them out. You said it was garbage.

1:10:031:10:07

What are you doing?

1:10:071:10:09

Oh, well. Easy come, easy go.

1:10:171:10:21

Was that the only copy?

1:10:211:10:22

Of course.

1:10:241:10:26

-Did I squeeze it? Does it hurt?

-My heart, you mean?

1:10:331:10:37

-You are improving, though, you know.

-Except I'm going crazy.

-Hey now.

1:10:391:10:43

OK.

1:10:431:10:45

I lie here and make these connections between cheap old detective stories

1:10:451:10:49

and my cheap little...

1:10:491:10:52

SIGHS

1:10:521:10:54

-Sex.

-Yes. I know the word.

1:10:561:10:59

Y'know, that's what the whole thing is about - my book, my life.

1:10:591:11:03

It's about sex. Sex and lies.

1:11:031:11:05

I wanna sleep with you again.

1:11:091:11:11

-Dan...

-I'd do it with a mirror alongside.

1:11:111:11:14

Oh, stop.

1:11:141:11:17

So I could look over at myself while I'm fucking and just leer.

1:11:171:11:21

Damn right. It's coming up in me - the old joy juice.

1:11:221:11:26

I'd flip it over to one side and come off your gleaming loins, honey,

1:11:261:11:30

and just spit right in my own face.

1:11:301:11:34

Oh, my God.

1:11:341:11:36

-Well, it's improving.

-What is?

1:11:371:11:40

The spitting at myself.

1:11:401:11:42

Couple of days ago, my idea of true bliss would have been...

1:11:421:11:46

-..spitting in your face.

-Dan.

1:11:471:11:50

What are you going to do about this rage, this hatred you have?

1:11:501:11:54

What if I just write serious literature?

1:11:541:11:57

Just piss in the wind like poets and priests do. Who are they?

1:11:571:12:01

-Who are those two?

-Who is who?

1:12:011:12:03

G-G-Go to the window.

1:12:031:12:06

No, I don't see anything. What is the matter?

1:12:071:12:10

-Paranoia.

-Thank you.

1:12:121:12:14

Baby, I'm so paranoid.

1:12:161:12:19

You've got everything going for you, haven't you?

1:12:191:12:23

I'm telling you, people are beginning to notice us.

1:12:271:12:31

-You see, they're looking at us.

-They're all sick in here, anyway.

1:12:311:12:35

-Are you sure that's him with the...

-The nurse said so.

1:12:351:12:39

Maybe we should have brought flowers or grapes.

1:12:401:12:44

-What for?

-Less conspicuous.

1:12:441:12:48

-Are we gonna waste him, whack him? What?

-Not when that dame's there.

1:12:491:12:53

-We gotta make him sing.

-Another song?

-Shut up!

1:12:531:12:57

Talk, I mean! Tell us what we're doing here.

1:12:571:13:00

I'm sick of standing around like a dummy. Are we Feds or aren't we?

1:13:001:13:05

-No, we're just a couple of hoods.

-Shut up!

-Do you need any help?

1:13:051:13:09

Um, do we?

1:13:121:13:14

Er, thank you, Miss. No.

1:13:141:13:17

Um, we have seen all that we wish to see

1:13:171:13:21

and our report will be... arriving... Let's go!

1:13:211:13:25

Hey!

1:13:251:13:27

What are you doing here?

1:13:271:13:30

# Now when I get the blues, I get me a rocking chair

1:13:301:13:34

# When I get the blues, I get me a rocking chair

1:13:361:13:40

# Well, if the blues overtake me, gonna rock right away from here

1:13:421:13:45

# Now, flip, flop and fly

1:13:471:13:50

# I don't care if I die

1:13:501:13:53

# Now, flip, flop and fly

1:13:531:13:55

# I don't care if I die... #

1:13:551:13:58

Where are you? Lost?

1:14:021:14:04

-I have a confession to make.

-Uh-huh.

1:14:081:14:11

-I know more about that movie offer than I implied.

-Come clean.

1:14:131:14:17

I...

1:14:171:14:19

I went, um, to your apartment, just to check it out,

1:14:191:14:22

because you'd been in here so long. Er...

1:14:221:14:25

First of all, Dan, the way that you live is unbelievable.

1:14:251:14:30

-The plants, they're all dead.

-Good. I hope they suffered.

1:14:301:14:34

There is mould on every single living thing.

1:14:341:14:37

-Who goes away and leaves Camembert on the table?

-You open my mail?

1:14:371:14:42

-Yes, I did. Just the bills and...

-You opened my mail.

1:14:421:14:45

-..this one letter.

-Don't worry about them, worry about the mould.

1:14:451:14:49

-Anyway, this production...

-It's about The Singing Detective.

1:14:491:14:53

-Well, yes. It's from this producer, Finney.

-Binney.

1:14:531:14:56

-Finney.

-Finney with an F?

1:14:561:14:59

-Yes.

-Finney with an F, not a B?

1:14:591:15:01

-Right.

-Not a B. Cos you know him.

1:15:011:15:04

-I've never heard of him.

-In what context have you never heard of him?

1:15:041:15:07

-Danny, why are you so...?

-Where's the letter?

-Forget it.

1:15:071:15:12

-He checks out?

-Well, for what it's worth.

1:15:141:15:17

-Would I get some dough up front?

-So it says.

-How much?

1:15:181:15:22

-40 grand.

-Oh, shit!

1:15:221:15:25

-But that's for the rights?

-Right.

-Who's gonna do the screenplay?

1:15:251:15:29

-The producer, Finney, apparently.

-Why?

1:15:291:15:32

Why? All these guys, they think they can write -

1:15:321:15:35

every busy little schmuck that can hold a pen the right way up.

1:15:351:15:38

-Just take the money and run.

-Oh, I...OK.

1:15:381:15:42

-It's a good story, though.

-Hmm.

1:15:441:15:47

When it stays on the page.

1:15:471:15:49

Uh-huh.

1:15:501:15:53

More connections.

1:15:531:15:57

-Connections.

-Connections.

1:15:571:15:59

BOTH PANT

1:16:041:16:06

Oh, God!

1:16:071:16:10

-Oh, we shouldn't have run.

-No choice.

1:16:101:16:13

-Where the fuck is this?

-Why here?

1:16:171:16:20

What are we doing here? Jeez! Look at that sun.

1:16:201:16:24

-That is the sun, right?

-It's a big fucking moon if it isn't!

1:16:261:16:29

What is going on? What's going on?

1:16:291:16:32

EAGLE SCREECHES

1:16:321:16:35

GUNSHOTS

1:16:351:16:37

What are we gonna do?

1:16:401:16:43

Hey.

1:16:441:16:46

There's your building over there. Way over there.

1:16:461:16:50

"Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco."

1:16:511:16:54

Oh, no. I hate that stuff. It gets in my throat.

1:16:541:16:58

Maybe what we're looking for is in that building.

1:16:581:17:01

Oh, yeah, yeah! Oh, what are we looking for?

1:17:011:17:05

I don't know.

1:17:091:17:11

'Nor me.'

1:17:171:17:19

Nor me.

1:17:191:17:21

# People see us everywhere

1:17:231:17:27

# They think you really care

1:17:271:17:31

# But myself I can't deceive

1:17:311:17:35

# I know it's only

1:17:351:17:38

# Make-believe

1:17:381:17:43

# My one and only prayer

1:17:451:17:48

# Is that some day you'll care

1:17:481:17:51

# My hopes, my dreams come true

1:17:511:17:53

# My one and only you

1:17:531:17:56

# No-one will ever know

1:17:561:17:59

# How much I love you so

1:17:591:18:02

# My only prayer will be

1:18:021:18:05

# Some day you'll care for me

1:18:051:18:07

# But it's only

1:18:071:18:10

# Make

1:18:101:18:13

# Believe. #

1:18:131:18:17

Hey, sonny.

1:18:171:18:18

Tough guys don't cry.

1:18:201:18:23

I know that, sir.

1:18:291:18:31

Can't now separate in my mind

1:18:351:18:38

the bus that took my mom and me to LA from the one that brought us back.

1:18:381:18:42

Brought me back.

1:18:461:18:48

I still dream about it.

1:18:521:18:54

But I'm getting there. My head's getting there.

1:18:551:18:59

What happened to your mom?

1:19:001:19:03

She killed herself.

1:19:041:19:06

How?

1:19:071:19:09

In the river. In the river.

1:19:101:19:13

I, er...

1:19:151:19:17

-Is that really what happened?

-What?

-Now, now.

1:19:171:19:20

"Now, now"? Wait. Excuse me. What?

1:19:201:19:22

We have a woman drowned in a bathtub

1:19:241:19:26

-and thrown in the river in your story.

-So? What about it?

1:19:261:19:30

Sometimes a cigar's just a cigar.

1:19:301:19:32

I'm a bit surprised that you can duplicate such a traumatic event...

1:19:321:19:37

-In what? In a commercial piece of trash?

-I didn't say that.

1:19:371:19:41

Dan, I read you part of your book to illustrate a point to you.

1:19:411:19:45

That book... There were things in that book, Doc,

1:19:451:19:49

-that are reaching out to grab me by the throat.

-Why don't you let them?

1:19:491:19:53

Why? Why?

1:19:541:19:57

Let them.

1:19:571:19:58

Me - I'm in that book and I didn't even know it.

1:20:011:20:05

Yeah.

1:20:051:20:07

I didn't kill my mother.

1:20:121:20:14

I can't imagine that anyone would ever suggest that you did.

1:20:141:20:18

You know, when I was a, er, boy...

1:20:211:20:24

-Long ago and far away.

-No.

1:20:251:20:28

Here, now.

1:20:291:20:31

I saw my mother with a greaseball who worked for my father.

1:20:311:20:35

A...a partner.

1:20:361:20:38

This service station in the desert that was never really viable.

1:20:401:20:44

Dark And Binney. Shit, they were screwing.

1:20:441:20:47

You know, noises, him on top of her. Kiss-kiss, bang-bang - all that.

1:20:471:20:52

I don't know, maybe she would have gotten away with it. Maybe it was...

1:20:531:20:57

My dad was a hard sort of guy to talk to. You know, he was good.

1:21:011:21:06

You know, but as a kid, I couldn't seem to get close.

1:21:071:21:11

He was good with engines... anything under the hood.

1:21:111:21:14

He was just... He was quiet. He was just too quiet.

1:21:141:21:19

I wanted to get closer.

1:21:191:21:21

Oh, I mean, maybe I wasn't the kind of kid

1:21:221:21:26

he would have wanted, you know.

1:21:261:21:28

Reading, off on my own.

1:21:291:21:32

Locked in.

1:21:341:21:36

A little pain in the ass...kid.

1:21:361:21:39

I wanted to get closer...and I, I...

1:21:461:21:49

So, you told him about her?

1:21:491:21:51

I traded her in. I traded her in for a pat on the head.

1:21:511:21:55

-No. No.

-I got beat instead and so did she.

1:21:551:21:59

He just hit her from one side of the room to the other. We went...

1:21:591:22:03

..to LA.

1:22:051:22:07

But by then, I think my pa's rage had cooled down.

1:22:071:22:10

I don't think he wanted us to go. I remember him waving.

1:22:101:22:13

I remember him waving to us as the bus went away.

1:22:161:22:19

SOBS Away.

1:22:221:22:25

My mom couldn't get a job. It was just...

1:22:261:22:30

She started bringing men home.

1:22:331:22:35

I remember these cracks... these cracks in the ceiling.

1:22:401:22:44

I remember these cracks...

1:22:461:22:49

All right.

1:23:101:23:12

-Stand up.

-What?

1:23:131:23:15

You can. You can do it.

1:23:151:23:18

-You really think so?

-It's now or never.

1:23:181:23:22

Yes. Yes. CLEARS THROAT

1:23:251:23:28

How many steps to heaven, Doc?

1:23:281:23:31

-Ah, metaphysics.

-Music.

-Can I get an amen?

1:25:351:25:38

-Yeah, man, whatever.

-Ah! Ah!

1:25:381:25:41

-What...

-No, no, no. Leave me.

1:25:411:25:44

I got this. Hee-hah!

1:25:441:25:47

Geronimo.

'That book - there are things in that book, Doc,

LAUGHTER ECHOES

1:26:041:26:06

Sorry you got put on hold, Mr Binney.

1:26:261:26:29

Don't sweat the bill.

1:26:311:26:34

Now, we wait.

1:26:421:26:44

Wait and see.

CHIMING NOISE

1:26:501:26:52

BUZZING

1:26:591:27:02

BUZZING CONTINUES

1:27:041:27:06

You had it coming, baby.

1:27:221:27:25

They should have cut your dick off first.

1:27:261:27:29

Landed you into one hell of a fix, eh?

1:27:331:27:36

They got to him first. Yeah. One step ahead all the time.

1:27:491:27:53

I didn't think the Feds would waste one of their own, but there you go.

1:27:541:27:58

No morality these days, eh?

1:27:581:28:00

I know, but I wanted to waste him on my own.

1:28:001:28:03

Well, why not? I like to wash all the men off my skin.

1:28:051:28:09

No. We'll give them one more chance to eliminate the warbler.

1:28:101:28:15

He's a sitting duck.

1:28:151:28:18

I'd like to see the bullets splatter his larynx.

1:28:191:28:23

Dan Dark is the real killer.

1:28:241:28:28

He poisons other people's lives.

1:28:281:28:31

He thinks he's smart,

1:28:321:28:35

but really, he's very, very sad.

1:28:351:28:38

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

1:28:381:28:43

Can you see?

1:28:501:28:53

Can you see, Mr Dark?

1:28:541:28:56

You like?

1:29:001:29:03

This is what you want from a woman, Dan. Believe her to be a whore.

1:29:071:29:12

Make her what...you like.

1:29:151:29:19

You want.

1:29:201:29:22

You're so sad.

1:29:221:29:25

Sad.

1:29:251:29:27

And sick.

1:29:271:29:29

Using your childhood to foul up the lives of those who care for you.

1:29:311:29:35

Using your illness as a weapon against anything clean

1:29:361:29:40

and honest and loving.

1:29:401:29:42

You disgust me.

1:29:441:29:46

-You sick little creep.

-COCKS GUN

1:29:471:29:51

You poisonous, malformed,

1:29:521:29:54

cynical heap of shit.

1:29:541:29:58

No! No...

1:29:581:30:00

Ah!

1:30:001:30:02

-Are you OK?

-Yeah.

1:30:021:30:06

OK. Sure. Why not?

1:30:091:30:12

Why aren't you in the bed?

1:30:121:30:15

I am not in the bed because I... stood up, almost.

1:30:151:30:20

-Fantastic!

-Yeah. See what I can do. I'll be walking away next week.

1:30:201:30:25

Well, don't overdo it. You look... Are you hot?

1:30:251:30:29

-No.

-OK. That's how people get disappointed. You must take it easy.

1:30:291:30:34

No, I'm fine. Day by day, in every way, I'm getting better and better.

1:30:341:30:38

-Stand up while I lubricate you.

-I might need...

1:30:381:30:41

No, no. I was just kidding. I don't expect you to...

1:30:411:30:46

I'm just so glad that you're being... It's a real improvement.

1:30:461:30:50

You know, you're one of the nicest people I've met in a long time.

1:30:501:30:53

-You haven't been anywhere in a long time.

-One of the prettiest, too.

1:30:531:30:59

Your eyes.

1:31:001:31:01

-What about them?

-Your mouth.

1:31:021:31:06

The way you head joins your neck as though it's hesitating. No, no.

1:31:061:31:11

It's reluctant... Boy, when I get out of here, I'm just really gonna write.

1:31:111:31:16

MUMBLES

1:31:161:31:18

No. You're the girl in the stocks.

1:31:201:31:22

Hey, pull the Caddy around. Let's pull out of here.

1:31:221:31:25

Stop it, Mr Dark.

1:31:251:31:27

Oh. Oh, I see. Enough of these intimacies, huh?

1:31:281:31:32

Hell, we hardly know each other. The only contact we've had

1:31:321:31:35

is to lift up my penis and just grease around it.

1:31:351:31:38

-W-What? What's the matter?

-BREATHES HEAVILY

1:31:381:31:42

-Phew! Boy, is it hot in here!

-Lie down.

1:31:421:31:45

-You're burning up.

-MUMBLES

1:31:451:31:48

No, no, no! No, no, no, no, no. You gotta lay down.

1:31:481:31:52

-MUMBLES

-No, no. Come on, Mr Dark. Just stay.

1:31:521:31:55

Come on! Come on!

1:31:551:31:57

Nicola!

1:31:581:32:00

-Come on. Let's just go back into the bed.

-NICOLA!

1:32:001:32:04

Oh! Oh!

1:32:071:32:10

Can I get some help here?

1:32:101:32:12

-It's OK, nurse. It's OK.

-Gentle!

1:32:131:32:16

Yeah. Too heavy for you, angel.

1:32:161:32:19

-Come on. Back in the bed.

-I'm sorry.

1:32:191:32:22

-I am. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

-Slide your feet, gumshoes.

1:32:221:32:26

-Beddy bye-byes.

-One small step for man,

1:32:261:32:29

-one giant leap for a cripple!

-Argh! Ah!

1:32:291:32:33

-Who are you and what are you doing here?

-A good question.

1:32:351:32:39

-On the nose, as they say nowadays.

-Yeah, whenever that is.

1:32:391:32:42

Am I hot? Is this because I'm hot?

1:32:421:32:44

I don't know you. I don't know who you are!

1:32:441:32:48

-Disowning us, are you?

-Nurse!

1:32:481:32:51

-Nurse. Where's she gone?

-Where are you going?

1:32:511:32:54

Home!

1:32:541:32:55

-Hands off the fucking page!

-You are going nowhere.

1:32:551:32:59

We get the shit and no explanations! Just one fuck-up after another.

1:33:001:33:05

-And you're the scumbag that wrote it!

-Wait! No! No!

1:33:051:33:09

W-Where are we going?

1:33:091:33:12

Where is everybody? HELP!

1:33:141:33:16

SHOUTS

1:33:211:33:24

SHOUTS

1:33:421:33:45

-Oh, long way down, pal.

-Right. It's a good last page, bucklehead.

1:33:541:33:59

-Sp-lash!

-Yeah! It's pooper-scooper time now!

No, sir. There's just no payoff in picking bluebells.

Anybody would think his arm was being twisted.

1:35:241:35:27

Ow! We've all been in pain, one time or another.

1:35:271:35:31

What I say is, when you're dealing with the devil...

1:35:311:35:35

..praise the Lord

1:35:361:35:38

and pass the ammunition.

1:35:381:35:41

-Shut your piehole.

1:36:451:36:50

No! Wait! That's murder.

1:36:511:36:53

Will you get a load of that? "Murder", he says. I call it...

1:36:551:36:59

..prudent. Only one of us is gonna walk out of here.

What? Are you kidding me with this?

1:37:091:37:11

Ah, shucks.

You could say we've been partners, him and me -

1:37:161:37:19

like Laurel and Hardy, or Donald and Ivana.

1:37:191:37:23

But, heck, this was one sick pup...

1:37:241:37:27

..from way back. I reckon I'm man enough to tie my own shoelaces now.

1:37:281:37:33

Hey.

1:37:551:37:58

-You got my hat?

-Have I got your hat?

1:37:581:38:03

-Think I've cracked this case.

-Yeah, I think you have, but...

1:38:101:38:14

-No buts. Watch my lips.

-What?

# In my dreams, you told me
