00:00:00Hello. I'm Roger Corman. I was the producer-director of the picture you're about to see, The Last
00:00:24Woman on Earth. I've always liked to shoot on location. There's a certain excitement, even a
00:00:30certain inspiration you get from shooting in interesting places. Before shooting The Last
00:00:36Woman on Earth, I'd shot several pictures in Hawaii, in North Dakota, and on The Last Woman on Earth,
00:00:42we went to Puerto Rico, partially because Puerto Rico was very beautiful, but also because they
00:00:49had certain tax laws, which were very advantageous. The Last Woman on Earth had an extremely low budget.
00:00:57When I found out the prices of the hotels in San Juan, I checked with a real estate agent and rented
00:01:04a rather nice house on the beach, hired a cook and a housekeeper, and we all stayed at that house,
00:01:11which was really nicer than a hotel, caused some inconvenience. I remember in order to store the
00:01:17film, we had to put the film in the refrigerator to keep it cool, which meant shuffling food in and
00:01:24out of the refrigerator for meals in conjunction with moving the film. I shot The Last Woman on
00:01:30Earth for my own company, The Film Group, which meant I financed the picture myself. Black and white
00:01:36shooting was less expensive than color, but I felt with the beauty of the Caribbean and of old San Juan
00:01:44in Puerto Rico, that I would get a bigger looking film, more beautiful film, if I put up the extra
00:01:51money and shot in color. And indeed, I think it was a very beautiful film. Jacques Marquette was the
00:01:57cameraman. He was a very good cameraman. He had certain attributes that I liked. First, his work was
00:02:03excellent, and second, he could work quickly and very efficiently. So he shot all three of the films we did
00:02:11in Puerto Rico. The reason we shot the three films was we could amortize our transportation costs across
00:02:17three films rather than just one. The casting was somewhat unusual. For The Last Woman, I had originally
00:02:24thought of Alison Hayes, who was a very beautiful actress who had done a number of films for me.
00:02:30But I saw Betsy Jones Moreland in a play. I don't even remember what the play was at a little theater in
00:02:36Hollywood. And I was very impressed with her work. So I signed Betsy for the lead. Tony Carbone,
00:02:44playing the other lead, had done several films for me. He was a good actor, and I signed him.
00:02:50Bob Towne has gone on to become a famous writer and director. He wrote Chinatown and a number of
00:02:58other big films, wrote the script. This was his first script. Bob was a somewhat slow writer, and he didn't
00:03:06have the picture. The script finished when I was ready to go to Puerto Rico. I had met Bob originally
00:03:13in an acting class, and I said, Bob, the only way we can make this work is you play the third lead,
00:03:22and you come to Puerto Rico, and you finish writing the script in Puerto Rico, partially while we're
00:03:28shooting. I've always believed that a film should work on multiple levels, and Bob Towne agreed with me.
00:03:36Then, and I think he works very well with complexity in films. This was a science fiction fantasy action
00:03:46adventure film, yet at the same time, I wanted a little bit of a theme, a subtext as it were.
00:03:54The picture starts with a cock fight in which one of the fighting cocks is blinded. It ends with a similar
00:04:02fight in which the character of Bob, give away the end of the film, is blinded. We were talking then,
00:04:10and it's a long time since I made the film, but the concept had to do loosely with the fact that we are
00:04:18all different levels of animals, and that fighting among the males particularly seems to be part of our DNA,
00:04:29our instincts, whatever you want to call it. You can read what you want into it. It's done, I think,
00:04:37rather quietly, so that most of the audience will not even be aware of it. They'll appreciate it. If they
00:04:44do appreciate the film on the surface level, others may find certain meanings subtextually or beneath the
00:04:51surface. We were shooting under very difficult conditions, particularly for sound in Puerto Rico.
00:04:58I remember the sound of insects in the jungle scenes were so loud that we had to loop, or as you say
00:05:08today ADR, replace the dialogue for all three films to a large extent. Luckily, the actors were very good,
00:05:17and I would hope that the concept that some of the dialogue was the original dialogue shot on location,
00:05:25some of it was replaced here in Hollywood. I would hope that's not too evident.
00:05:32I distributed the film theatrically through my own company, The Film Group, but I didn't have a
00:05:37television distribution arm, so I licensed the film for television distribution to Allied Artists, along
00:05:45with some of my other films. The film was a little bit short, and I was working on another picture at the
00:05:51time, so I had my good friend Monty Hellman shoot a couple of additional scenes to bring it up to the
00:05:56length required for television, and some of Monty's work was astounding. The advertising for the film
00:06:04was pretty wild. My feeling at the time for this film and for others was that I was shooting a picture
00:06:10on a very low budget, but the ads, which at that time were painted rather than using the photographs of
00:06:16the actors, could be on any budget you wanted. So we had a somewhat more elaborate ad and a somewhat
00:06:24sexier ad painted. I always liked the ad very much. We invented some sort of a beauty contest
00:06:32for people to send in pictures of themselves or their daughters or something for The Last Woman on
00:06:38Earth. I don't even remember what happened to the beauty contest, but that was part of the general,
00:06:42what should I say, hype for the film, for the advertising. And I'm delighted to say that
00:06:50that's a tradition that started with the first motion pictures and still continues today.
00:06:55We will now cut directly to The Last Woman on Earth. I hope you enjoy the picture.
00:07:12The Last Woman on Earth.

00:09:15It's the part that you wanted to see, Harold.
00:09:23I'll take five. I'll take five.
00:09:25Here are the ten I'll give you, sir.
00:09:35Harold! Harold!
00:09:39Martin, you're early.
00:09:41You're late. And you're in trouble, remember?
00:09:43Oh, I haven't seen today's.
00:09:49Boy, they really make me sound bad.
00:09:52Indicted.
00:09:54You know, that word really gets me.
00:09:56Sounds like it really means something.
00:09:58Maybe it does.
00:10:00Harold, really, you ought to worry a little bit about this.
00:10:03I never worry, Martin.
00:10:05I hire brilliant young lawyers like you to do that for me.
00:10:08Oh, you want to make a bet? This is the last fight.
00:10:12No, thanks.
00:10:14Well, I do.
00:10:15There goes my bookie now.
00:10:26Cigarette?
00:10:31I'm Ev Gern.
00:10:33Harold's wife?
00:10:34I've seen you, too.
00:10:35I've seen him, too.
00:10:36I've seen him, too.
00:10:37I've seen him.
00:10:38I've seen him, too.
00:10:40I don't know.
00:10:41I've seen him.
00:10:42I've seen him.
00:10:43I've seen him.
00:10:44I can't see the point of two animals clawing each other to death.
00:10:46I'm with you.
00:10:47I can't see him.
00:10:48each other to death or under rape.
00:10:50I'm with you.
00:10:53Hey, these bookies are a bunch of cheap crooks.
00:10:57What happened? Did you meet your match?
00:11:00I said cheap.
00:11:05Oh, have you two met?
00:11:07We introduced ourselves.
00:11:09I got married between trials.
00:11:12Martin and his firm defended me the last year
00:11:14when the same thing happened.
00:11:17It's the government's idea of an annuity.
00:11:20Every year, they sue me.
00:11:22It's called the Herald-Gern Vacation Fund.
00:11:27I bet that one.
00:11:29You bet that one?
00:11:30That one.
00:11:30Yo, Wend.
00:11:44And what is it?
00:11:46I spilled my drink.
00:11:48I'll have to change.
00:11:51OK, huh.
00:11:52OK.
00:11:52You wait here.
00:11:53I'll be right back.
00:11:54I've got to collect my bet.
00:11:56And we'll find a place to talk.
00:11:59Then we'll find a place to talk.
00:12:04OK, Rowley.
00:12:05Nine, a winner.
00:12:06Play the line.
00:12:09Coming out again.
00:12:10They play as new Rowley.
00:12:12Harold, this isn't my idea of a place to talk.
00:12:16You're too conservative, my boy.
00:12:18New Rowley.
00:12:19Seven.
00:12:20Winner.
00:12:20Winner seven by the line.
00:12:22Couldn't be better.
00:12:23Couldn't be better.
00:12:24Let it all ride.
00:12:25Not again.
00:12:26Couldn't be better.
00:12:27Five.
00:12:28Five.
00:12:29Look, Harold, I don't know what's gotten into you, but I did not come down here to watch
00:12:33you watch cock fights and play craps.
00:12:35Now, your partner thinks that you're going to-
00:12:37My partner thinks.
00:12:39Morty thinks.
00:12:41It's I who make the money so that Morty can't think and have me pestered on my vacation.
00:12:48Seven, now.
00:12:48Looser.
00:12:49Take a line.
00:12:50Looser, seven.
00:12:53All right, all right, all right.
00:12:55Come on.
00:12:56I got some briefs up in the room.
00:12:58Look them over and then we'll talk.
00:13:00Fine.
00:13:01Now, really, Harold, you've got to pay more attention to the law.
00:13:04Martin, I'll give you odds if you follow every law in the book you'll be broke or dead in
00:13:08a week.
00:13:11You look paler than you did last year.
00:13:14You worry too much, Martin.
00:13:15With clients like you, how can I help it?
00:13:17How's your golf?
00:13:19You know how it is, Harold.
00:13:20I'm getting older.
00:13:31You are aging.
00:13:33Ev will give you the briefs.
00:13:36Well, where are you going?
00:13:38I've got to win my money back.
00:13:46Come in.
00:13:47Come in.
00:13:53I see you changed your dress.
00:13:56Mm-hmm.
00:13:57Join me, won't you?
00:13:57I'd like to, but I have to pick up Harold's briefs.
00:14:02Join me, won't you?
00:14:04I'd like to, but I have to pick up Harold's briefs.
00:14:10Martin, how do you like your work?
00:14:15In fact, how do you like your life?
00:14:17I like it, Mrs. Gern.
00:14:19Which, your work or your life?
00:14:21Both.
00:14:23Is there a difference?
00:14:25I think so.
00:14:27Harold doesn't.
00:14:28Mrs. Gern, could you tell me where Harold has those briefs?
00:14:40I think I have a captive audience.
00:14:55Did anybody ever tell you you look like a Martin?
00:14:58That's nice to know.
00:15:03More and more.
00:15:05You look like a Martin.
00:15:07It's a long way down from there.
00:15:23You're not much of a gambler, are you?
00:15:26I think you could make anyone look conservative if you wanted to, Mrs. Gern.
00:15:32I think I'm going to get morbid.
00:15:36Point of fact, I think I have a death wish.
00:15:39In point of fact, you'll get your wish unless you come down from there.
00:15:42We are not amused.
00:15:45Watch the wine.
00:15:47If I'd done that, I wouldn't be here now.
00:15:50Don't you think you've gone far enough?
00:15:53Nonsense.
00:15:54There isn't enough.
00:15:55I have so little to say, and nobody will listen.
00:16:06Harold, God bless him, has a pretty selective ear.
00:16:11Please understand, this isn't my usual manner of meeting.
00:16:18I understand.
00:16:20Really.
00:16:20Really.
00:16:21Thank you, Mrs. Gern.
00:16:36Evelyn?
00:16:38Evelyn.
00:16:38Evelyn.
00:16:51How are you feeling this morning, sunshine?
00:16:56All right.
00:16:57Ah, don't be an old grouch.
00:16:59What could be better than mixing a little pleasure with business, huh?
00:17:03Evelyn.
00:17:04Don't you be an old grouch.
00:17:07I'll tell you what.
00:17:08We'll take a little morning cruise, a little morning dip,
00:17:12a little breakfast and business, more or less, in that order.
00:17:21Did you look over those briefs?
00:17:23Harold, of course I looked over those briefs.
00:17:24Well, am I innocent or am I guilty?
00:17:28Of course you're not guilty, Harold.
00:17:29That's not the point.
00:17:31I mean, you may have stretched the law a little bit, but you're not guilty.
00:17:34Besides, even if you were, you know you'd never go to jail.
00:17:38As long as you keep your money.
00:17:40Martin, you don't understand.
00:17:43I like making money.
00:17:45Harold, how about a swim?
00:17:48Good.
00:17:49Martin?
00:17:51No, thanks, Harold.
00:17:52Oh, come on, I insist.
00:17:54Watch some of the meanness out of you.
00:17:56Besides, I've got some diving equipment you ought to try out.
00:17:59Manuel, we'll stop here.
00:18:02Come on, Martin.
00:18:03Let's go.
00:18:03We'll change.
00:18:35Amen.
00:19:05Amen.
00:19:35Amen.
00:19:37Amen.
00:19:39Amen.
00:19:59Martin, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
00:20:01There was a manta ray behind me.
00:20:03You're hurt bad.
00:20:04You hurt bad?
00:20:05Not too.
00:20:06Help!
00:20:07Help!
00:20:09Uh-oh.
00:20:10Looks like I'll have to carry both of you.
00:20:13Martin, I...
00:20:14Something's wrong.
00:20:15Put your mask back on.
00:20:21Maybe we come up too fast or something.
00:20:24Leave it on till we get back to the ship.
00:20:35Manuel, give us a hand.
00:20:42Where is he?
00:20:43Come on.
00:20:46Come on, Ev.
00:21:01Ev, what is it?
00:21:04Come on, Ev.

00:21:17Come on.
00:21:18Come on.
00:21:19What in the world?
00:21:20Looks like you couldn't breathe.
00:21:31Martin?
00:21:32There's something in the air if you breathe it.
00:21:45How long are these tanks good for?
00:21:47An hour.
00:21:48Do you have any spares?
00:21:49Get them.
00:21:50I'll try the radio.
00:21:51Leave the tank on.
00:21:58Def calling San Juan Harbor.
00:22:12San Juan Harbor.
00:22:13Harold, there's nothing.
00:22:15We've got to go back to town as soon as we can.
00:22:20I'll get it started.
00:22:21You take care of Evelyn.
00:22:22Can't get it to fire.
00:22:23Are they wet?
00:22:37Are they wet?
00:22:53I don't think I'll get it started.
00:22:55Let's take the spare tanks and row to shore.
00:22:58We're not too far from town, then we'll figure out what to do there.
00:23:07We've got to be left.
00:23:08We've got to be left.
00:23:09Let's go.
00:23:10Why do they keep on playing the same record on that thing?
00:23:11Why don't they at least advertise or something?
00:23:26How much time have we got left on these tanks?
00:23:29left in these tanks 20 minutes we'll never make it to town but they're not

00:29:07There's nothing.
00:29:10We've got to do something, Martin.
00:29:12I've got to have a drink.
00:29:33Nobody will be drinking in here for a long time.
00:29:35Scotch, please.
00:29:50Martin, what happened?
00:29:54Bigger and better bomb.
00:29:56Act of God.
00:29:57What difference does it make?
00:29:58The results the same.
00:29:59Harold, take it easy.
00:30:04What for?
00:30:06I don't know.
00:30:08I really don't know.
00:30:10Martin, we've got to do something.
00:30:13Maybe we can go back to New York.
00:30:15And see seven million bodies stinking up the streets?
00:30:18No, thanks.
00:30:20It isn't everywhere.
00:30:22Harold, there was nothing on the radio and nothing on the phone.
00:30:25Now, we should have heard something from somewhere.
00:30:28And you can bet that whatever happened,
00:30:30we didn't get the worst of it.
00:30:32Shall we stay here?
00:30:36You've got somewhere to go?
00:30:38Now, listen, Martin.
00:30:39I don't like the idea of being in a world of dead bodies
00:30:42any more than you do.
00:30:43We can't stay here.
00:30:45In a couple of days,
00:30:46the stench alone would choke us.
00:30:54Hey, Morty.
00:30:56He's got a house on the tip of the island.
00:30:59Let's get going.
00:31:00I don't like it here.
00:31:16I don't like it.
00:31:46Martin, bring a hammer and chisel.
00:31:57Your wish is my command.
00:32:08Must we break in?
00:32:12Give me.
00:32:16Probably best if we just sleep tonight.
00:32:34Talk about it tomorrow.
00:32:36Martin,
00:32:37there's a bedroom off the study you can use.
00:32:39Oh, Mrs. Gern.
00:32:48Good night.
00:32:49Good night.
00:32:58Good night.
00:32:58Good night.
00:32:58Good night.
00:32:58Good night.
00:32:59Good night.
00:33:00Good night.
00:33:01Good night.
00:33:02Good night.
00:33:02Good night.
00:33:02Good night.
00:33:03Good night.
00:33:03Good night.
00:33:04Good night.
00:33:04Good night.
00:33:04Good night.
00:33:05Good night.
00:33:05Good night.
00:33:06Good night.
00:33:06Good night.
00:33:07Good night.
00:33:07Good night.
00:33:07Good night.
00:33:08Good night.
00:33:08Good night.
00:33:08Good night.
00:33:09Good night.
00:33:09Good night.
00:33:10Good night.
00:33:11Good night.
00:33:11Good night.
00:33:12Good night.
00:33:13Good night.
00:33:13Good night.
00:33:14Good night.
00:33:14Good night.
00:33:15Good night.
00:33:15Good night.
00:33:15Good night.
00:33:16Good night.
00:33:17Good night.
00:33:17Good night.
00:33:48Testing. Testing. Testing. Testing. Testing. Testing. Testing. Martin. Yes. Martin, meet me in the study. As soon as you can.
00:34:14Martin, can you hear me? Yes.
00:34:21What hit you?
00:34:42The end of the world, Mr. Gern. Now listen, Martin. I think we ought to get together and agree that we should keep that kind of talk to a minimum.
00:34:52That isn't just talk.
00:34:59Look, Martin, the reason why I called you up here is because I think we ought to decide just exactly what we're going to do.
00:35:07Harold, there's probably enough canned food here to last years.
00:35:10And if we should run out, we can always hold our noses and drive back to town for more.
00:35:18You're not making it any easier.
00:35:20Could it be much easier?
00:35:23The lush island of Puerto Rico, a lush villa, and a whole life to be nothing but a lush inn.
00:35:31Morning.
00:35:33May I come in?
00:35:34Good night.
00:35:35Boy.
00:35:48The light of works.
00:35:51Isn't that marvelous?
00:35:53Good night.
00:35:54Good night.
00:35:55Oh, true.
00:35:55Come in.
00:35:56I think so.
00:35:57Why?
00:35:57Let the light of works.
00:35:58Anybody here know how to roll their own?
00:36:02Evelyn, don't you think you ought to finish dressing?
00:36:07Why?
00:36:10Expecting company?
00:36:12Martin is here.
00:36:15So he is.
00:36:17How are all your family and friends, Mr. Joyce?
00:36:20Delighted you dropped by.
00:36:25How would you like me to dress for the occasion?
00:36:29Evening dress?
00:36:32House dress?
00:36:35Slip.
00:36:37He's gonna be here one hell of a long time, Harold.
00:36:42All right.
00:36:44We're in a rotten situation.
00:36:47An unprecedented one.
00:36:50But I'm not gonna fall apart, and neither is anyone else, as long as I can help it.
00:36:55Look, you don't build all at once.
00:36:57I didn't make my money in one day.
00:36:59You lost it in 20 minutes.
00:37:02Now, we're gonna work out a plan, or we're gonna take it step by step.
00:37:06If you take things as they come, if you do them step by step,
00:37:11we're gonna be all right.
00:37:14Evelyn.
00:37:16How about breakfast?
00:37:20I'll change first.
00:37:22Evelyn.
00:37:24Martin, come here.
00:37:26What?
00:37:27We have company.
00:37:28Another house guest.
00:37:29Where can we possibly put him?
00:37:30The problem is, where did he come from?
00:37:31He should be dead.
00:37:32He could have hatched from an egg.
00:37:33They can probably live longer on less oxygen than we can anyway.
00:37:35It doesn't look good.
00:37:36There's gonna be a lot of decay on the island.
00:37:37These things are gonna thrive.
00:37:38What?
00:37:39What?
00:37:40Evelyn.
00:37:41Martin, come here.
00:37:42What?
00:37:43We have company.
00:37:44We have company.
00:37:45We have company.
00:37:46We have company.
00:37:47The conta.
00:37:48Well, there's another house guest.
00:37:49Where can we possibly put him?
00:37:50The problem is, where did he come from?
00:37:51He should be dead.
00:37:52He could have hatched from an egg.
00:37:54They can probably live longer on less oxygen than we can anyway.
00:37:57It doesn't look good.
00:37:59There's gonna be a lot of decay on the island.
00:38:00These things are gonna thrive.
00:38:01Ants, mosquitoes, tropical disease.
00:38:07Sooner or later we may have to leave.
00:38:09Won't it be the same wherever we go?
00:38:12It's always the Arctic.
00:38:14We may do just that, go north.
00:38:17Don't you think it's a little impulsive to go north because we may have an insect problem?
00:38:23Now, look, Martin, I don't mean tomorrow, and I don't mean the North Pole.
00:38:28But I might mean...
00:38:34Well, say, northern Canada.
00:38:37Now, to do this, we're gonna have to learn how to navigate.
00:38:40And to be self-sufficient, we're gonna have to learn how to fish, right?
00:38:44Right.
00:38:45Not only would we get rid of the insects, but things like disease and food preservation...
00:38:51be a lot less a problem.
00:38:53Most of all, we might find people.
00:38:56After all, three of us got by here.
00:38:59More people died there, more people might have lived.
00:39:03Right?
00:39:06Right.
00:39:08You know I'm right.
00:39:10You know I'm right.
00:39:38You know I'm right.
00:39:40You know I'm right.
00:39:41Yeah.
00:39:42Here's me.
00:39:43Here's my book.
00:39:44Thanks, guys!
00:39:45I love you!
00:39:46I love you!
00:39:47I love you!
00:39:48I love you!
00:39:49I love you!
00:39:50You know I love you!
00:39:51I love you!
00:39:52I love you!
00:39:53But I love you!
00:39:54THE END
00:40:24THE END
00:40:54Mirror, mirror on the wall
00:41:00Who is the fairest of us all?
00:41:04Fish.
00:41:17Maybe we'll have a salmon up north, like a kind on beer ads. Who knows?
00:41:28We're not leaving just yet.
00:41:30Why?
00:41:31Weather's bad. I don't want to take any unnecessary chances.
00:41:34Harold, it rains down here quite a bit.
00:41:36I know. But this is the worst of it.
00:41:40Besides, you don't.
00:41:42And I don't know enough about sailing to get by in a storm.
00:41:46And without stars, we're dead.
00:41:49What kind of stars?
00:41:51One's in the sky or one's in your astrology chart?
00:41:54Martin.
00:41:54Ev, I want to talk to Martin.
00:41:59So talk.
00:42:02Alone.
00:42:04Business?
00:42:06Or is this something just between you two fellas?
00:42:09We'll talk about this later.
00:42:11Now look, Martin. I realize we have problems here.
00:42:24Three of them.
00:42:27Yeah, we never did dig up that fourth for bridge.
00:42:29And we won't. Staying here.
00:42:31Look, Harold.
00:42:32The sooner we leave, the better for all of us.
00:42:34All right, Martin.
00:42:39It's a tough situation.
00:42:42But we're not leaving this island until we're ready.
00:42:45Now, till then,
00:42:46we've got to force ourselves into a pattern.
00:42:49Keep working till we go north.
00:42:51Martin, the need to work is inborn.
00:42:56It's the only thing that will save our sanity.
00:42:59Harold, I'm not sure I feel any inborn need to work.
00:43:04Now, maybe there's something wrong with me.
00:43:09I don't think so.
00:43:13And there's one other thing I'd like to bring up.
00:43:16This business about Evelyn.
00:43:19What business?
00:43:23This one woman, two men situation.
00:43:27I really don't know what to say.
00:43:31I guess we'll just have to live with it.
00:43:35You mean, uh, I'll have to live with it?
00:43:39I don't see any other alternative.
00:43:46Where are you going?
00:43:48To Evelyn.
00:43:50And so, to bed.
00:43:53We are married, you know, Martin.
00:43:54So it's legal, huh?
00:43:57Harold, look.
00:43:58Your marriage certificate means about as much here as your money.
00:44:00That certificate is only paper.
00:44:03My marriage isn't.
00:44:05Harold, please don't.
00:44:06That won't solve anything.
00:44:07Harold, please don't.
00:44:08That won't solve anything.
00:44:10Harold, please don't.
00:44:10Harold, please don't.
00:44:13That won't solve anything.
00:44:15What's there to solve?
00:44:17You really don't see, do you?
00:44:20Harold, in the last world, you didn't give me a chance to find out where I belonged.
00:44:24Harold, in the last world, you didn't give me a chance to find out where I belonged.
00:44:29You're not doing it in this world, either.
00:44:31I'll tell you where you belong.
00:44:33You're my wife, Evelyn.
00:44:34Harold, please don't.
00:44:35You're my wife.
00:44:35Harold, please.
00:44:38Harold, please.
00:44:39You're my wife.
00:44:41There's no chance to find out where I belonged.
00:44:45You're not doing it in this world, either.
00:44:48I'll tell you where you belong.
00:44:51You're my wife, Evelyn.
00:44:53Harold, please.
00:44:56You're my wife.
00:45:03I'm going fishing. I'll be back.
00:45:11What's new?
00:45:22Not much.
00:45:25Why aren't you fishing?
00:45:27I don't know.
00:45:29You see one fish, you've seen them all.
00:45:33Where are you going?
00:45:35Beach.
00:45:37Care to come along?
00:45:41Why not?
00:45:50How does the rest of it go?
00:45:54Beware the jabberwock, my son.
00:45:59The jaws that bite, the claws that catch.
00:46:04Beware the jab-jab-bird and shun the frumious bandersnatch.
00:46:13It's fun.
00:46:15I wish Harold could...
00:46:17I don't know.
00:46:22Where will you be?
00:46:23Ten years from the second?
00:46:25Running over ice blocks.
00:46:27Chasing little gurns.
00:46:30Living in a guest igloo, I don't know.
00:46:35Will you be alive ten years from now?
00:46:37I don't know.
00:46:38How could I?
00:46:40I don't want to believe that.
00:46:43Well, you didn't want to believe the world would end either.
00:46:46You don't want to now.
00:46:50Well...
00:46:53It's what I feel.
00:46:56I felt it in.
00:46:59And I'm married to somebody who doesn't insist upon my thinking about it.
00:47:03Or thinking, period.
00:47:05That's marvelous.
00:47:08You think.
00:47:10You are the thinkingest man.
00:47:12Is that supposed to make me feel bad?
00:47:14And you ask questions.
00:47:19Questions.
00:47:21Questions.
00:47:23Questions.
00:47:25I think I'm gonna erase you.
00:47:31I'm gonna take my big toe
00:47:32and wipe you out.
00:47:37Dare me.
00:47:41Double dare me.
00:47:43Seems I remember doing this before.
00:47:46Only then I didn't have so far to fall.
00:47:53Where are you now, Martin?
00:48:00There.
00:48:03There.
00:48:11If you hold them down, it'll help.
00:48:32Come out of the sun.
00:48:38Come out of the sun.
00:49:02You make a nice martini.
00:49:12Naturally.
00:49:13I was taught all the do's and don'ts of gracious living.
00:49:15Tell me about your day.
00:49:16Oh.
00:49:17Lunch at 21.
00:49:18Shopping at Saks.
00:49:19The most awful sales lady at Saks.
00:49:20The most awful sales lady at Saks.
00:49:21She made me want to complain about everybody who'd ever sold me in a house.
00:49:22I was one of the most awful sales lady.
00:49:23I was one of the most awful sales lady.
00:49:24I was one of the most awful sales lady at Saks.
00:49:25Naturally. I was taught all the do's and don'ts of gracious living.
00:49:33Tell me about your day.
00:49:36Oh. Lunch at 21. Shopping at Saks.
00:49:43The most awful saleslady at Saks.
00:49:47She made me want to complain about everybody who'd ever sold me anything.
00:49:52Those salesladies at Saks will do it to you every time.
00:50:02Where would you like to dine?
00:50:04Before the theater.
00:50:06Of course not. I meant afterwards.
00:50:10Oh. Well, you remember that funny little French restaurant over on 8th Avenue?
00:50:15You know the one.
00:50:17I do. I can't think of its name offhand, but I do.
00:50:21It really is there.
00:50:23Then we'll go there.
00:50:25It really is there. Can't you tell me the name of it?
00:50:28Have.
00:50:29Can't you tell me the name of it?
00:50:30Have don't.
00:50:32Yeah.
00:50:33Do it.
00:50:34Do it.
00:50:35Start sorting, then we'll take another crack at it.
00:50:56I no longer see the reason for catching fish we'll never be able to eat.
00:51:01All right, Martin.
00:51:03What do you want to do?
00:51:04To look at many things, not just fish.
00:51:07What's the matter, Martin?
00:51:09You afraid if you look at a fish too long, you begin to look like one?
00:51:13Maybe, Harold. Maybe that's exactly what I'm afraid of.
00:51:18Boy, oh boy.
00:51:21It's certainly a good thing the world ended when it did.
00:51:24Because you never would have made it, boy. Never.
00:51:27Made what, Harold?
00:51:28A millionaire? Money?
00:51:32Money and fish.
00:51:33Fish. Fish and money.
00:51:37Harold, if rotten money smelled like rotten fish, they'd have given you a bank to yourself.
00:51:44Yes, sir, Mr. Gern.
00:51:46The way you made your money stank.
00:51:48The way you catch fish stinks.
00:51:51And furthermore, Harold, you stink.
00:51:54Ha, ha, ha.
00:52:07Ha, ha.
00:52:15This is no game no more, brother.
00:52:45It's always a game, Harold.
00:52:48How is Evelyn? Nice?
00:52:52Not bad.
00:52:54But why not find out for yourself?
00:53:02That got to you, didn't it?
00:53:04Didn't it?
00:53:05Come on, let's see you laugh now.
00:53:07You're always mocking all the time. Mock now.
00:53:10You don't understand the meaning of decency.
00:53:13You laugh at it! Go to life!
00:53:16You think living is stupid?
00:53:18Well, why don't you try dying a little?
00:53:21You're leaving.
00:53:25You think that's funny?
00:53:27You'll be out of here in two hours.
00:53:29Where to?
00:53:33Take your choice.
00:53:35You mean you'd exile one third of the human race?
00:53:38I'd do better than that, and I can.
00:53:40But you know why you couldn't, Martin?
00:53:43Because you don't have it in you to find a reason.
00:53:46Not yet.
00:53:48So he's leaving.
00:53:49And not just because of what he did to you.
00:53:51Did to me?
00:53:52Harold, Martin didn't rape me.
00:53:53That's enough.
00:53:54I don't want to hear about it.
00:53:55It's not just because of that.
00:53:56We had a balance here.
00:53:57We had a system.
00:53:58And he lost it up.
00:53:59Harold, I know you're hurt.
00:54:00But it never was his system.
00:54:03Or mine.
00:54:04Hurt.
00:54:05To begin with, when we first got here, I asked for suggestions.
00:54:07Neither of you had anything but smart remarks.
00:54:08Well, somebody is your sister.
00:54:09Was you?
00:54:10Yes.
00:54:11I did.
00:54:12I was very sad.
00:54:13You're so sad.
00:54:14You don't get sad.
00:54:15Yes.
00:54:16No, you're so sad and half.
00:54:17No, I don't want to care about it.
00:54:19I don't want to care about it.
00:54:20I don't want to care about it.
00:54:21You're not just because of that.
00:54:23We had a balance here.
00:54:24We had a system and he lost it up.
00:54:26Harold, I know.
00:54:27But, it never was his system,
00:54:29Well, somebody's got to take the responsibility somewhere.
00:54:33Sure, you had a system and we had none,
00:54:35but we needed our own, Harold, not yours.
00:54:39But you never had anything.
00:54:43Never have. Not when I met you.
00:54:45And not when I married you.
00:54:47Your system never really worked for me, Harold.
00:54:50With or without the world, your system's the same.
00:54:53It gives me everything but you.
00:54:56Your money is gone and what it meant is gone.
00:54:59And you've never really seen that.
00:55:02It meant me.
00:55:03And I'm not gone.
00:55:05And you never really saw that.
00:55:08I made that money. It didn't make me.
00:55:11And what it took to make, I've still got.
00:55:14Then use it. Use it to help.
00:55:17That's what I want to do.
00:55:19That's what I'm trying to do.
00:55:20And Martin?
00:55:22I'll help us by getting rid of him.
00:55:26Harold, Martin is part of us.
00:55:28I'm married to you, not to Martin.
00:55:32To hell with him.
00:55:46Where are you going?
00:55:47Out.
00:55:49What do you do?
00:55:51Nothing.
00:55:51Nothing.
00:55:52Nothing.
00:55:52Nothing.
00:55:52Nothing.
00:55:58What's that?
00:56:00A little headache.
00:56:03Do you mind going alone?
00:56:05No more than I mind going.
00:56:09Would you mind company?
00:56:12I won't stop you.
00:56:15Ask me though, Martin.
00:56:17I need you to ask me.
00:56:19Look, Ev, I may not have much love for that man, but I couldn't do that to him.
00:56:25What?
00:56:26Leave him alone.
00:56:28Martin, he wanted you alone.
00:56:29I don't think he realizes what that means.
00:56:33Martin.
00:56:35All right, Ev, I do want you with me.
00:56:40We'll run around the world together.
00:56:42We'll take that yacht and set sail, okay?
00:56:44Really?
00:56:46Oh.
00:56:47Really.
00:56:48What'll I need?
00:56:50It's a come as you are party.
00:56:55Evelyn?
00:56:57Evelyn?
00:57:06What's taking so long?
00:57:09Packing.
00:57:12You see, Evelyn?
00:57:14Yes.
00:57:16Where?
00:57:17Here.
00:57:19Where is she now?
00:57:21She left.
00:57:25How's your eye?
00:57:26It still works.
00:57:29Well, when you're ready, I'll be down by the garage to see you off.
00:57:44Is that all you're taking?
00:57:47That's all.
00:57:50After all, Harold, I'm not the kind of house guest to run off with the silverware.
00:57:54I just don't get any ideas about that boat.
00:57:57It belongs to Ev, too.
00:57:59Doesn't a third of it belong to me?
00:58:00Yeah, but two-thirds belongs to us.
00:58:04I defer to your unimpeachable sense of ethics.
00:58:08Now, listen, Martin.
00:58:10I don't have to let you take this car.
00:58:13I know, Harold.
00:58:14I know.
00:58:17Where are you going to?
00:58:19That's one decision you won't have to make.
00:58:21Just give me the keys.
00:58:23I don't have to let you go.
00:58:53I don't have to let you go.
00:58:57Evelyn!
00:58:59Evelyn, if you go away, I won't come after you.
00:59:02I won't come.
00:59:10Evelyn.
00:59:13I won't come after you.
00:59:23Will he follow us?
00:59:34As soon as he can start the truck.
00:59:37What if he catches us?
00:59:39I mean, Harold can be awfully brutal when he thinks he's been wronged.
00:59:42People who believe in wrong and the right can be.
00:59:46What do you believe in, Martin?
00:59:50Nothing, Eve.
00:59:52I'm too civilized.
00:59:59Are you cold?
01:00:01A little.
01:00:02How much longer?
01:00:19At this rate, an hour.
01:00:20Have you ever handled a boat before?
01:00:22I mean, how will we...
01:00:23All we can do is follow the islands until we hit what I hope will be the Florida Keys.
01:00:29From there, we can go right up the coast.
01:00:32Does it hurt?
01:00:45Sort of.
01:00:45It feels like something rolling around in back of my eye.
01:00:56Martin!
01:00:56You all right, Eve?
01:01:04Yes, you?
01:01:05Yeah.
01:01:06That looked like it was a body.
01:01:17Eve, this wheel's bent sideways.
01:01:21We're gonna have to walk.
01:01:26Can we make it in time?
01:01:30Well, the harbor's on the other side of this forest.
01:01:33We could cut our time in half.
01:01:38Eve, we better cut through here.
01:01:56Eve, wait here.
01:02:07No.
01:02:07I'm gonna check and see if it's all right.
01:02:09Take me with you, Martin.
01:02:10I don't want to be alone.
01:02:11Come on, Eve, wait here.
01:02:12I'll, uh, meet you at the church, okay?
01:02:17Don't.
01:02:18Don't.
01:02:19Martin, what if we were to have a child?
01:02:22I mean, wouldn't it be nice if we were to have a child?
01:02:26Whatever for?
01:02:29What for?
01:02:31Eve, look, it's all over but the shouting as far as the human race goes.
01:02:36And there's no more reason for little Evelyn's and little Martin's running on those ice blocks than little Gern's.
01:02:43All that's left for us is to live without pain.
01:02:48I'll be right back.
01:02:49I'll be right back.
01:03:19You're not taking my boat.
01:03:35You forget.
01:03:37It's only one third your boat.
01:03:41Where's Evelyn?
01:03:42She doesn't want to see you.
01:03:44She's my wife.
01:03:45Where is she?
01:03:46You never learn, do you, Harold?
01:03:49Your boat.
01:03:51Your money.
01:03:52Your wife.
01:03:53Your world.
01:03:55Nothing belongs to you, Harold.
01:03:56Nothing.
01:03:57Where is she, Martin?
01:03:59No.
01:03:59Leave me alone!
01:04:11Leave me alone!
01:04:13Leave me alone!
01:04:16Leave me alone!
01:04:25Let's go.
01:04:55Oh, my God.
01:05:25Oh, my God.
01:05:55Oh, my God.
01:06:25Oh, my God.
01:06:27Oh, my God.
01:06:31Oh, my God.
01:06:33Oh, my God.
01:06:37I see, Morton.
01:08:07Ev?
01:08:09Martin.
01:08:10Where are you?
01:08:11I can't see you.
01:08:12I'm here.
01:08:13Come down from that altar.
01:08:29What altar, Harold?
01:08:31Come down from there.
01:08:34I don't see any church.
01:08:36What's the matter, Harold?
01:08:38Are you afraid that the biggest banker of all wouldn't approve?
01:08:43There are no more bankers, no more churches, and no more God.
01:08:47No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers, dirty looks.
01:08:55Pretty silly to stick around and look after you.
01:09:00I mean, Harold, you can take care of things all by yourself.
01:09:08You can run the world all by yourself, can't you, Harold?
01:09:14And?
01:09:15I'm here.
01:09:16I'm here.
01:09:16What can I do, Morton?
01:09:31My eyes are dim.
01:09:33I cannot see.
01:09:35I have not brought my specks with me.
01:09:38My eyes hurt.
01:09:39I...
01:09:40I killed him.
01:09:55Will we never learn?
01:10:03He didn't think so.
01:10:11Let's go home.
01:10:16Where is that?
01:10:25Help me find out.
01:10:56Help me find out.
01:11:17All right.
01:11:17Let's go home.
01:11:17Help me find out.
01:11:22Let's go home.
