00:00:00I pushed your face with my hand.
00:00:02Well, betrayal is not my best thing.
00:00:04Yeah, well, I know.
00:00:06I'm not the only guy who gets upset, he finds his wife sleep.
00:00:10Strong enough to break away without it.
00:00:15He's a jerk.
00:00:17Of course he was a jerk.
00:00:20It's not easy to find someone like you.
00:00:23Try harder.
00:00:28Oh, God, I'm already jealous.
00:00:30I know you're going to find the right person,
00:00:33and when you do,
00:00:36she's going to be the luckiest woman alive.
00:00:49To a free man.
00:00:51Here we go.
00:00:52I'm on the market.
00:00:54You never sleep alone.
00:00:56I told you not to marry her.
00:00:57You two had absolutely nothing in common.
00:01:00Forget in common, okay?
00:01:01She wasn't his type.
00:01:02Ray always went for brunettes.
00:01:04You're telling me.
00:01:05You're Larry's wife.
00:01:07Picky, picky.
00:01:08Plus, you're a lawyer.
00:01:09That's right.
00:01:09Ray likes artsy types.
00:01:10He likes them thin and dark and artistic.
00:01:13Right.
00:01:13So, are we talking sex here, or marriage, or...
00:01:16What about love?
00:01:17Love?
00:01:18But in the long term, you're interested in a family, right?
00:01:21I want everything.
00:01:22The kids, the dog, the Volvo.
00:01:25Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:01:26Slow down on the family's point.
00:01:27I mean, first you get laid.
00:01:28Then, you get laid.
00:01:30Exactly.
00:01:31There are many, many women out there.
00:01:34Oh.
00:01:35Lots of skinny women, you know.
00:01:37Anorexics.
00:01:37Yes.
00:01:38Dark, angelic anorexics.
00:01:40They're 33 years old.
00:01:42They're biological clocks.
00:01:43Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.
00:01:45Come now!
00:01:46I'm ovulating!
00:01:47I'm ovulating!
00:01:50I'm fertile today.
00:01:52Just today.
00:01:53That is not a time, my mom.
00:01:54It kills me to say it, but I'm going to agree with Norman on this.
00:01:58You are attractive, you are straight, you are not overtly psychotic.
00:02:04Oh, thank you.
00:02:06Listen, you just take your time, and don't you be a slave to your glandular reactions.
00:02:11By the way, have I ever mentioned that my family crest is actually a big gland?
00:02:18I rest my case.
00:02:19I am down on my knees.
00:02:26I am begging you.
00:02:29All right.
00:02:30This is humiliating.
00:02:31Are you deaf?
00:02:33Huh?
00:02:33I'm guaranteeing you 100% return in six months.
00:02:38You're my friend, Norman.
00:02:39Sure.
00:02:39That's why I'm bringing you the deal.
00:02:41Easy.
00:02:41I'm going to loan money once, I'll do it again, and sooner or later, I'm going to lose a friend.
00:02:45Great.
00:02:46Swell.
00:02:46So, I'm floating face down.
00:02:48All right, look.
00:02:52You know, I wanted to emphasize the positive here.
00:02:55The money's not just...
00:02:57It'd keep me alive another 72 hours, okay?
00:03:00Would your friendship allow you to do that?
00:03:02I love this.
00:03:04How much?
00:03:05For the investment?
00:03:07To save your life.
00:03:09Well, say, 20 grand.
00:03:11I'll give you half.
00:03:15You'll save half my life?
00:03:16See, this isn't good.
00:03:17Between friends, just forget the whole thing.
00:03:19No, no, I need the bucks.
00:03:19It's just that I know you can afford more, and I'm wondering...
00:03:23This isn't my job to rescue you from yourself.
00:03:26All right?
00:03:29You're going to regret this.
00:03:30What?
00:03:32A year or two, fortunes could change.
00:03:34You could come to me wanting something.
00:03:39See?
00:03:40Now, see what happened here?
00:03:41It's the same with girls.
00:03:43A little friendly advice.
00:03:44Remember the girls I sent you up with?
00:03:45Norman, those women were...
00:03:45I'll do better, okay?
00:03:46The point is, they told me.
00:03:47What you give off...
00:03:48You know, you're lonely, it's understandable.
00:03:51But it comes off needy.
00:03:53Just like I was here, and it's bad technique.
00:03:56They said I was needy?
00:03:58Desperate.
00:03:59So, look.
00:04:00They're throwing me a party next week, okay?
00:04:0134 years old and still an asshole.
00:04:03They said I was needy.
00:04:04Forget that.
00:04:05I'm trying to tell you something.
00:04:06I invited a girl there, brunette, Midwest, so forth.
00:04:08Perfect for you.
00:04:09No, please.
00:04:10Tits?
00:04:11Did someone say tits?
00:04:13Like pears.
00:04:15Huh?
00:04:16And not the hard green ones, either.
00:04:17The juicy camise.
00:04:18You get in the box from Oregon, the Harry and Davids.
00:04:20Norman, I'm coming to your party as your friend, all right?
00:04:23But please, promise me, you won't introduce me to any more women.
00:04:27Exactly my point, if you'd let me finish.
00:04:29Believe me, I can find her myself.
00:04:31Who says no?
00:04:32Hey, a safe doesn't have to fall on me.
00:04:34Huh.
00:04:36Are we still friends?
00:04:37Can I go back to work now?
00:04:43And thanks for the 20 Gs.
00:04:45Uh, uh, uh...
00:04:45Ten! Ten!
00:04:48After completing the novel, I went back to my work on the particle accelerator.
00:04:54What is that, Michael?
00:04:55Norman is the only person I know who can burn his birthday into a scammer.
00:04:59He's not paying food, drinks.
00:05:02He's providing the idiots, you know, who might buy the work of this artist.
00:05:06Is that the artist, the cowboy?
00:05:08Of course that's him.
00:05:11Guns and buns.
00:05:13It's not that bad.
00:05:15I guarantee you, if there are any sales tonight, you know, Norman's friends, I bet he's gonna get a piece of it.
00:05:19Speaking of which, did he come to you about this crazy...
00:05:22Oh, the jackpot idea?
00:05:23A hundred grand?
00:05:24Yeah.
00:05:25He got the money.
00:05:26What?
00:05:26Well, he must have, because, well, one day he was hawking me, and I mean, I'm a harder sell than you are, right?
00:05:31I got two kids, tribal school, but I ain't starting their own law firm.
00:05:34I wouldn't joke.
00:05:34The guy says...
00:05:35Again?
00:05:36Hey, where are you going?
00:05:41Are you ready?
00:05:45Hey.
00:05:45Did you, I...
00:05:46I'm Cheryl.
00:05:49Norman's friend.
00:05:50Right.
00:05:51That's right.
00:05:51That's right.
00:05:52Uh, good to see you.
00:05:53I'm...
00:05:54Norman told me.
00:05:55I know, I know.
00:05:56According to him, we're practically engaged.
00:05:59Oh.
00:05:59Yeah.
00:06:02I just love a sense of humor in a man.
00:06:09You know, I think laughter is the greatest aproposiac.
00:06:14Don't you agree?
00:06:16In the right circumstances.
00:06:17You know, it's strange.
00:06:21I feel something.
00:06:23Do you feel something?
00:06:25I usually feel something.
00:06:27No, not like that.
00:06:28I mean, you know, when two people fix you up, you two'll be perfect for each other.
00:06:33Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:06:35I mean, usually it's just awful, right?
00:06:38Right.
00:06:39But it's just, somehow, just this moment we're having right now.
00:06:45This moment?
00:06:46Yeah.
00:06:47Look, I don't want to be forward, but would you, you know, like to go someplace else?
00:06:55Yes, actually, I, um...
00:07:00Would you excuse me for a minute?
00:07:04I don't want to be rude, but, uh, there's something that I must tell Norman.
00:07:13So, if you can...
00:07:14All right?
00:07:15I'm...
00:07:16Will you look where you're going?
00:07:17Oh, Jesus Christ.
00:07:18This is wine, you've ruined your hands off me.
00:07:20It's bad enough you've ruined my dress.
00:07:22I was just turning away from...
00:07:24You don't like me.
00:07:25No.
00:07:26No, no, no.
00:07:26What did he do to you?
00:07:28He is just unbelievably rude.
00:07:31Oh, you're not kidding.
00:07:33I was trying to say it was an accident.
00:07:36I was turning...
00:07:37I'll save it.
00:07:38Why don't you apologize first and foremost to your girlfriend and leave me alone?
00:07:42She's...
00:07:42Look, please.
00:07:47I'm sure you're a wonderful person.
00:07:49Hey, sport.
00:08:00How do you like my party?
00:08:01If you ever set me up with another woman, I'm gonna kill you.
00:08:04Understand?
00:08:04Sure, sure.
00:08:05Why don't you say something before?
00:08:09Happy birthday.
00:08:19Oh, God, I'm embarrassed.
00:08:33Last week, wine, bitch of the Western world.
00:08:37Oh, right.
00:08:39I'm sorry, I have to apologize.
00:08:42No, no, no, no, no.
00:08:43I'm the one who...
00:08:44I spilled...
00:08:44No, I'm a klutz.
00:08:45Things like that are always happening to me, and it embarrasses me.
00:08:48And I took it out on you.
00:08:51Plus, I just bought that dress.
00:08:52I was trying to impress this guy.
00:08:55Did it work?
00:08:57Yeah, he was impressed with what a bitch I am.
00:09:03Um, I'm really sorry.
00:09:06I ruined your evening, and if you want me to...
00:09:08No, you did me a favor.
00:09:09I might have gone for that guy, and I don't need that right now.
00:09:13Besides, you changed my life.
00:09:16I switched from French wine to French water.
00:09:18So, anyway, sorry.
00:09:22Thanks, and bye.
00:09:35I'm Ray.
00:09:38Lena.
00:09:41Hi, Lena.
00:09:42Check for authorization.
00:10:06Register 7, please.
00:10:07I know, I know.
00:10:16It's junk.
00:10:16I'm poisoning my body.
00:10:18I bet I got the water.
00:10:20Anyway, I believe in body wisdom.
00:10:22If your body craves something, that's what it needs.
00:10:26So, what have you got here?
00:10:27Lonely guy specials?
00:10:29No.
00:10:29Oh, they have a very good selection here.
00:10:32I think the manager's a bachelor.
00:10:35You don't have a girlfriend?
00:10:36Um, the girl at the art gallery?
00:10:38The one you need cry?
00:10:40Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:43She, uh, no, she was, she was trying to rape me.
00:10:46What's this one special?
00:10:48Hi, I haven't.
00:10:49How did you come to that party?
00:10:51Are you a friend of Norman's, or?
00:10:52Oh, a girlfriend of mine knows the artist.
00:10:54Mom, Bill Hicka?
00:10:56Yeah, he was kind of.
00:10:58Do you want me to get a cup of coffee?
00:11:0023-17.
00:11:02Or a glass of French water?
00:11:03Actually, I haven't eaten yet, so.
00:11:07Me either.
00:11:13So, on VP sales, I'm moving up.
00:11:18Then the CEO decides he likes me.
00:11:22I say no, but he's used to getting what he wants.
00:11:27I have to threaten to call his wife.
00:11:31So, of course, he fires me.
00:11:33He spreads the word to small community.
00:11:37Couldn't get hired anywhere in New York.
00:11:40You should have gone to court and filed some...
00:11:43Sure.
00:11:44If, as he put it, I wanted to hear every guy in the company testify that they'd had me.
00:11:50I moved out here instead.
00:11:58What a terrible...
00:12:00Yeah.
00:12:03I've never done this before.
00:12:15Had supper.
00:12:17Pick somebody up at a supermarket.
00:12:20You didn't pick me up.
00:12:21We bumped into each other.
00:12:22Still, you know what I mean?
00:12:23You know, usually you meet somebody...
00:12:24You work together, or a friend introduces.
00:12:29It's not just a complete...
00:12:31Stranger.
00:12:32Getting to know someone is like peeling an onion.
00:12:39It makes you cry?
00:12:40No.
00:12:42Layers and...
00:12:44More layers.
00:12:45Well...
00:12:51I think we should go.
00:13:00Arigato.
00:13:01I do business in Japan.
00:13:03Where'd you learn to speak it?
00:13:13I studied it at Swarthmore.
00:13:15I've forgotten most of it, but...
00:13:17I love the concept of Japanese.
00:13:20Symbols, not letters.
00:13:22This is it.
00:13:25Where I live.
00:13:31This was great.
00:13:34Yeah.
00:13:35Thanks for dinner.
00:13:36You think I could come up?
00:13:44I mean, just for five minutes?
00:13:48It wouldn't take five minutes.
00:13:58Look, the law doesn't matter.
00:14:00This is politics.
00:14:01Now, if we take him to court, we'll win.
00:14:02But because he has a vote on the planning commission,
00:14:04right now, he's a better architect than you.
00:14:06That's the law.
00:14:07Excuse me, sir?
00:14:09Not now, Sally.
00:14:10Norman's online, too?
00:14:12Uh, sorry.
00:14:15Well?
00:14:16It's Wednesday.
00:14:17I got my Wednesday afternoon golf game,
00:14:19and I'm out here with a mobile phone
00:14:20trying to track down some chick.
00:14:22Nobody knows her, okay?
00:14:23Nobody.
00:14:23Forget her.
00:14:24Okay.
00:14:25Thanks for trying.
00:14:45Good night.
00:14:52Keep it.
00:14:53Get it off.
00:14:55That's how you do it.
00:14:56All right.
00:14:58Peace.
00:15:00See you soon, sweetie.
00:15:31Yeah, what do you want?
00:15:45Sorry, I'm sorry.
00:15:52Hello?
00:15:53Hi.
00:15:54Lena, hi.
00:15:56Hello?
00:15:57Yeah.
00:15:58Hi, this is Ray, Reardon, from last night.
00:16:03I remember.
00:16:05I don't have your phone number, or I don't know your last name, so there was no way for
00:16:11me to get in touch.
00:16:14Uh-huh.
00:16:15Go out?
00:16:16Come out?
00:16:17Now or later?
00:16:18Or meet someplace or something?
00:16:23Or, do you, uh, do you have a phone number?
00:16:37Hello?
00:16:39Come on in.
00:16:40I'll be right out.
00:17:02I was just taking a shower.
00:17:03Hi.
00:17:13Hi.
00:17:15I have these same columns in my office.
00:17:23I hope, I hope I'm not intruding.
00:17:26I don't mind.
00:17:27I was waiting outside when I saw you come in.
00:17:34Why didn't you say hello?
00:17:37Well.
00:17:39Strange, don't you think?
00:17:41Watching me and not saying anything?
00:17:43I know, I just, uh, yeah, you were with that guy, so.
00:17:48Tell me.
00:17:50Yeah, and you kissed him downstairs, and I just.
00:17:53And you thought?
00:17:58Well, uh, maybe that you've lived with him, and, uh, he went to buy eggs, or.
00:18:06Tony's a friend.
00:18:09Oh.
00:18:11He's gay.
00:18:14Oh.
00:18:16Not that it's your business.
00:18:18No.
00:18:19No.
00:18:23Well.
00:18:31Something's changed from last night.
00:18:37Yes, it has.
00:18:40Why?
00:18:42It's a problem.
00:18:48I like you.
00:18:50That's the problem.
00:18:56I really like you.
00:19:08That's not a problem.
00:19:09It's a problem.
00:19:21No.
00:19:21I'm alone.
00:19:25I'm alone.
00:19:27I may no longer o'er to leave.
00:19:27I'm alone.
00:19:28You're nearly a murderer.
00:19:29It's a solution.
00:19:30So, let's go.
00:19:31I'll walk.
00:19:31I'll walk him up.
00:19:32You're already a burner.
00:19:32I'll walk back with him.
00:19:34I'll walk.
00:19:34He'll walk on just a Amber.
00:19:35I'll walk me so.
00:19:35I'm alone.
00:19:36Bye.
00:19:36I'll walk on time.
00:19:37I'll walkồi with him.
00:19:38Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:19:42Yes.
00:19:49My mother used to hit me a lot.
00:19:55Big things, little things.
00:20:01No reason at all.
00:20:05Nothing put her in a good book.
00:20:08My father watched.
00:20:19I realized he never wanted me.
00:20:23He left as soon as I could.
00:20:27Never even sent him a postcard.
00:20:38You're so beautiful.
00:20:45Don't say that.
00:20:46What?
00:20:47Just don't.
00:20:53Yes.
00:20:53Look, just because I'm halfway pretty, guys look at my eyes and think they know me.
00:21:04Like I'm their fantasy.
00:21:06I'm just a regular screwed up person.
00:21:14So when you say I'm beautiful, it's like you're not seeing me at all.
00:21:18Yes, I am.
00:21:20No.
00:21:20Only God, my dear, can love you for yourself alone and not your yellow hair.
00:21:33Gates.
00:21:33For how long?
00:21:42For how long?
00:21:42Oh, God.
00:22:12I'm so happy for him.
00:22:42Hey, buddy, I have to tell you, that is a beautiful piece of ass.
00:22:57I can't believe the most gorgeous creature I've ever seen, she chose me.
00:23:00Does she like having any sisters, friends, fourth cousin, anything?
00:23:03She burned all the bridges when she left New York. Her only friends are...
00:23:06They're already so happy together.
00:23:12By the way, I think our friend Larry is a little jealous of you.
00:23:16Yes, because you're basically disgusting.
00:23:18You have it all.
00:23:19I do.
00:23:21Oh, I haven't danced so much since.
00:23:25She's strong, too. Did you feel like she was whirling me around out there?
00:23:28Oh, sorry.
00:23:29Oh, it's nothing, I just...
00:23:31Oh, you and Ray like the rough stuff. Why didn't you tell me? I've got some equipment I can lend you.
00:23:35No, no, no, I just... I'm a Clyde, so...
00:23:37Don't.
00:23:40Oh, Jesus, look. My parents dancing together.
00:23:43Oh, Jesus.
00:23:49Baby, let's never end up like that, OK?
00:23:50never end up like that, okay?
00:24:12Jesus.
00:24:15It's over.
00:24:17Over, it's just beginning.
00:24:20You're not kidding.
00:24:46Hey, Ray.
00:24:47I hear you got married.
00:24:49That's beautiful.
00:24:50That's gorgeous.
00:24:51Who is she?
00:24:52Well, her day.
00:24:53Oh, that's swell.
00:24:54The girl of your dreams, huh?
00:24:56Huh?
00:24:57Did you get her here?
00:24:58Here?
00:25:00At our booth.
00:25:01A most popular exhibit.
00:25:09Well, maybe I should...
00:25:11Wait, crazy?
00:25:12What are you, nuts?
00:25:13You don't want to find out you got the wrong one.
00:25:15Let's go to the funhouse.
00:25:16Let's go to the funhouse.
00:25:16Ah!
00:25:17She looks just like you.
00:25:47Two years.
00:26:00I love you.
00:26:10I never thought.
00:26:17It would be possible for me to have such a normal life.
00:26:24My uncle used to say.
00:26:33Sissy?
00:26:34Aren't you sissy?
00:26:35Excuse me?
00:26:36Piru, Texas.
00:26:38I'm Cora's sister.
00:26:40I'm Lena Mathers, now Lena Reardon.
00:26:43From Dayton, Ohio.
00:26:45Oh.
00:26:46Sorry, your voice isn't quiet.
00:26:50Just for a minute, I thought.
00:26:52Very sorry.
00:26:54Sorry.
00:26:55That's okay.
00:27:01It's so strange.
00:27:03A woman sissy something.
00:27:06It's twice that's happened.
00:27:08Once in New York and now here.
00:27:10She looks exactly like me.
00:27:12Maybe she's my double.
00:27:13My doppelganger.
00:27:14Maybe she's the one who's really alive.
00:27:16I'm just...
00:27:17You don't feel alive?
00:27:18Of course I do.
00:27:19Only doesn't life seem sometimes like this very strange dream.
00:27:23I hope I don't wake up.
00:27:24Oh, come on.
00:27:37Come on.
00:27:38You're so bad.
00:27:40Yes, you are.
00:27:42Stop it.
00:27:43Oh, please.
00:27:46I'll let you know.
00:28:02Um, what's it?
00:28:05I'll be so talk to you later.
00:28:06All right, bye.
00:28:09Hi, who's that?
00:28:11Debbie from my dance class.
00:28:13Stuff in her marriage is insane.
00:28:16Have I met Debbie?
00:28:20No, because, well, she's great, but her husband is, it's an unusual combination.
00:28:25He's a psychopath and he's boring.
00:28:29That is unusual.
00:28:32So, how was your day?
00:28:34Any news on the Mora job?
00:28:36No, no news.
00:28:38Looks good.
00:28:43What's up with you, huh?
00:28:46I'm sorry.
00:28:52I just haven't felt very...
00:28:54It's okay.
00:28:56I hope it'll come back.
00:28:59It will.
00:28:59The doctor said it'll take time.
00:29:01So, how's it feel?
00:29:13It's like it's become a business or something, you know, a partnership.
00:29:16Well, that's what marriage is.
00:29:17Well, I don't like it.
00:29:20You're not the only one.
00:29:21Looks like I have these weird...
00:29:24jealousy suspicions.
00:29:26Oh, yeah?
00:29:28Like what?
00:29:31Oh, that's normal, too.
00:29:34Usually it's just the way you're driving yourself crazy.
00:29:37But not always?
00:29:40No.
00:29:42No, not always.
00:29:43What are you saying?
00:29:46Elaine's?
00:29:50Sometimes everything's a clue.
00:29:52And what you think is paranoia is actually heightened awareness.
00:29:58That's too bad.
00:29:59Not at all.
00:30:02What's sauce for the goods?
00:30:03I'm sorry.
00:30:09I don't know what happened.
00:30:11Mr. Murrah's never late.
00:30:12Oh, no, no.
00:30:12Don't even think about it.
00:30:14Don't...
00:30:15Mr. Belvin, please pick up your phone.
00:30:18Mr. Belvin, please pick up your phone.
00:30:20Take the video.
00:30:25I'm sorry.
00:30:27I'm sorry.
00:30:28It's just...
00:30:30We've spoken on the phone so many times,
00:30:31and I never had any idea that you were so attractive.
00:30:37But, personally, I prefer brains to beauty.
00:30:40Don't you?
00:30:41No, of course.
00:30:42Yes, I'm...
00:30:43Yes, no, I'm...
00:30:44Yeah, I'm...
00:30:45I mean, I didn't endure the four years at Swarthmore in order to...
00:30:49You went to Swarthmore?
00:30:50Yes.
00:30:51So did my wife.
00:30:53Really?
00:30:55So, what year were you?
00:30:56Swarthmore?
00:30:5983.
00:31:00Well, then, uh...
00:31:01Did you know Lena Mathers?
00:31:05I don't think so.
00:31:07No.
00:31:08But those years were crazy.
00:31:10Between the frenzy for grades and jobs, and...
00:31:14You know, then in the middle of all of that,
00:31:15the president of the college, Sam Shaw, died of a heart attack
00:31:18as he was speaking to us.
00:31:22I hardly remember my best friends.
00:31:25Oh, Mr. Murrah.
00:31:26It's beautiful.
00:31:46We're going to Japan.
00:31:48We are?
00:31:49Mm-hmm.
00:31:49You got the Murrah job.
00:31:51Mm-hmm.
00:31:51That's great.
00:31:52It is great.
00:31:54This building is going to be like nothing else in the whole world.
00:32:00I'm so proud of you.
00:32:02By the way, what year were you at Swarthmore?
00:32:0684.
00:32:06Why?
00:32:07This woman who works for Murrah, Celine Rogers,
00:32:10she was there at the same time.
00:32:11I don't remember her.
00:32:15No, she didn't remember you either.
00:32:18Remember Sam Shaw?
00:32:22Who?
00:32:24Died of a heart attack.
00:32:25Oh, he was a classmate.
00:32:30God, he died of a heart attack?
00:32:33It's scary, isn't it?
00:32:35Someone my age,
00:32:37bad things can just come out of nowhere.
00:32:47Sadie, Lee.
00:32:48I don't know.
00:34:18You mean, am I really this other woman who looks like me?
00:34:20Yeah.
00:34:21Like a sci-fi thing we've been switched or something.
00:34:24Not like sci-fi, like real, like are you really?
00:34:30I don't know, Ray. I never studied philosophy.
00:34:32Questions like that make my head hurt.
00:34:33I forgot to have Sally go to the bank. I need some cash.
00:34:49No problem.
00:35:03Now you tell Mr. Mura he can't keep you east long or I'll die of loneliness.
00:35:07I will. Bye-bye.
00:35:09Ray, kiss me.
00:35:12I'll leave you late now.
00:35:22Okay. I love you too.
00:35:24Are you playing speculation or what?
00:35:37You think people are put on earth for this old purpose, drive other people crazy?
00:35:53Hmm.
00:35:53My father had my mom put away and he's one made to lose her marbles.
00:35:59Do you know her?
00:36:02Sissy.
00:36:04Hope she's nothing to you.
00:36:06She's my wife.
00:36:10Figures.
00:36:12Did she run off and leave you?
00:36:13No.
00:36:16I'll give her time.
00:36:19Is that what she did to you?
00:36:22She did things to me I can't even pronounce.
00:36:26Sorry.
00:36:28I'll give her this, though.
00:36:30She always had it in her mind to marry somebody rich.
00:36:36You gotta go work.
00:36:52What's her name?
00:36:55Huh?
00:36:56Her real name?
00:36:57You don't know.
00:37:02Elmas Nader.
00:37:04She's still at family here?
00:37:06You know, most folks find this stuff out beforehand.
00:37:14Well, whooped that road there, right on Branch, left on Hickory, it's third house.
00:37:26Another high from Buddy here.
00:37:27Mrs. Cedar?
00:37:30Mrs. Cedar?
00:37:57Oh my god, it's Ray!
00:38:02Yes, ma'am.
00:38:03Is everything okay?
00:38:05Yes.
00:38:06Come here, come in quickly.
00:38:10Is it safe for you to be here?
00:38:12Safe?
00:38:13With your job.
00:38:16I'm sorry, I'm a misunderstood.
00:38:17Oh, you don't have to pretend.
00:38:19Sissy wrote us all about it.
00:38:22Hey!
00:38:25What do you want?
00:38:28Come see for yourself.
00:38:32You got any recent pictures of Tina?
00:38:35I do, actually, yes.
00:38:38Well, I'll be.
00:38:40Put her there, Ray.
00:38:41It's good to finally meet you.
00:38:43Could you go and get us some coffee, hon?
00:38:55Surprise.
00:38:57I'm glad it's over.
00:38:58Dad.
00:38:59Come see the baby.
00:39:00Look at this.
00:39:01You got any help out there?
00:39:02No, thanks.
00:39:03Do you have any help out there?
00:39:04No, thanks.
00:39:05Come see, we have a long time.
00:39:06How long?
00:39:07I'm gonna get out of here.
00:39:08I'll be back up.
00:39:09And I'll be back up.
00:39:10I'll be back up.
00:39:11I'll be back up.
00:39:12You'll be back up.
00:39:13I'll be back up.
00:39:14I'll be back up.
00:39:15How long?
00:39:16I'll be back up.
00:39:17Come see the baby.
00:39:22Look at this.
00:39:27You all need any help out there?
00:39:29No, thanks.
00:39:32I'm in the CIA.
00:39:34I had to give them some reason why they couldn't visit.
00:39:37What about that story your mother beating or your father watching?
00:39:41Not true.
00:39:43There's lots of different kinds of abuse within a family.
00:39:45Right, okay.
00:39:48But if the things that you tell me aren't true,
00:39:51then what is true, Lena?
00:39:53Who are you?
00:39:58I'm your wife.
00:40:07Called her sissy because we wanted to have another child, a boy.
00:40:13Of course, we never did.
00:40:15But sissy was always so, so beautiful that it didn't really matter.
00:40:21Still, when she wrote me that she was...
00:40:24It wrote us.
00:40:26Of course.
00:40:26That goes without saying.
00:40:28Well, then say it.
00:40:29She wrote us.
00:40:30She was changing her name.
00:40:32Well, naturally, I was insulted.
00:40:35We both were.
00:40:36But it was kind of a woman's lib thing.
00:40:40Women change their name for a man when they get married, so why not change it for their own sakes?
00:40:46But she'll always be sissy to us.
00:40:49The parents seem a perfectly distant people.
00:41:01Yep.
00:41:02Why'd you hide them from me?
00:41:06They're stuck.
00:41:08In Texas, in poverty.
00:41:11Can't you feel it?
00:41:12There were this weight dragging me down.
00:41:13And if I'd have stayed there, I would have married that guy, but I would have had his kids.
00:41:17I would have drunk beer every night until I got really fat, ugly, and bored.
00:41:23So I invented myself.
00:41:24I made up Lena Mathers, and I became her.
00:41:28They say you replaced every molecule in your body every seven years.
00:41:32I changed my name eight years ago.
00:41:33No more Thelma Snyder.
00:41:37Aren't you going to give me credit for it?
00:41:41Doesn't it seem at least brave that I just became this completely different person?
00:41:45It makes me look at you in a completely different way.
00:41:49Me or you?
00:41:51Isn't the real question, who are you?
00:41:52Are you really Ray Reardon, or is that the name your parents hung on you?
00:41:57Oh, you've always been a good boy.
00:41:58You've gone along with who Ray was supposed to be, done what Ray was supposed to do.
00:42:01But who are you?
00:42:03Where are you really from?
00:42:04What do you really want?
00:42:14I'm tired.
00:42:16And I want to go to bed.
00:42:22I tried to tell you so many times, lying here like this.
00:42:40I'd say to myself,
00:42:44now Lena, tell him.
00:42:45I wish you had.
00:42:52I was afraid.
00:42:57If you knew the real me,
00:42:58I'd lose you.
00:43:02You're not divorcing me.
00:43:20I'd like to send them money every month.
00:43:21Sure.
00:43:23We're okay.
00:43:23Look at me.
00:43:31Tell me it's the truth.
00:43:34You know it is.
00:43:39No matter who you were,
00:43:41and no matter who you are,
00:43:42and no matter who you will be,
00:43:44I'm going to love you.
00:43:44From now on, better than ever.
00:44:04I love you.
00:44:07Helping the landing of the flight to the deep of Pyro, Texas.
00:44:11Now better than ever.
00:44:13You're late, Ray.
00:44:14The show's already started.
00:44:17Ray!
00:44:18Ray, my boy!
00:44:20You're looking grand!
00:44:22You like these?
00:44:23Huh?
00:44:24And this?
00:44:26Tell me, Ray.
00:44:28Tell me the truth.
00:44:30Am I the girl of your dreams?
00:44:33Actually...
00:44:34Of course not!
00:44:36Look!
00:44:37Looky here!
00:44:38Some guys look at the eyes!
00:44:42Some guys look at the thighs!
00:44:45I just look at the purse.
00:44:47How about that?
00:44:49You like it, Ray?
00:44:50Sure you do!
00:44:52Recognize her yet, huh?
00:44:54And now, the moment we've all been waiting for.
00:44:58The moment which will determine Ray Rayton's fate.
00:45:02Here she is, folks!
00:45:03And last but not least, it's...
00:45:15Baby Bob!
00:45:16Yeah!
00:45:17For those of you who don't remember, Bob Baby from last year's Cutie Pie contest...
00:45:21Well, he wasn't born yet.
00:45:22Okay.
00:45:23And now, it's...
00:45:24Tina, cute as ever!
00:45:26Yeah.
00:45:26And Lena!
00:45:28Cuter than ever.
00:45:29That's right.
00:45:29All right, come on now.
00:45:30That's it.
00:45:30Don't save it, baby.
00:45:31Feel the burn.
00:45:32Atta girl.
00:45:33Okay, and...
00:45:34Pinhead Ray.
00:45:35That's right.
00:45:36Pinhead Ray with the perfect life.
00:45:37He's got the perfect wife, the perfect family.
00:45:39Why, he's got everything a man could possibly want, except a Wednesday afternoon golf game.
00:45:43And, well, a cute young mistress.
00:45:44But never mind that now.
00:45:45He doesn't have time for any of these things.
00:45:46Stop it, Norman.
00:45:47That's not funny.
00:45:48Exactly my point.
00:45:49According to the East German Judge Lena, it's not funny.
00:45:51So now we come to our legal beagle, Elaine, and her client, Bernardo, from West Side Story.
00:45:56And...
00:45:57A post!
00:45:57That is a great post, buddy.
00:45:59And now, let's turn the camera on...
00:46:01This guy, yes.
00:46:02This is a stupid guy.
00:46:04This is a guy who can't make a living.
00:46:06This is...
00:46:06This is...
00:46:08A pain in the ass.
00:46:09Thank you, Ray.
00:46:11This is a guy who's going anywhere fast.
00:46:13This is...
00:46:14This is a...
00:46:15A pain in the ass again.
00:46:17Thank you, Ray.
00:46:18Yes.
00:46:18A pain in the ass.
00:46:20Stop me.
00:46:20I can't be stopped.
00:46:21That's enough.
00:46:21That's why.
00:46:22Somebody shoot the camera.
00:46:23One moment.
00:46:24Christ's sake.
00:46:25Tell me twice.
00:46:27Hey, where's the beer?
00:46:30So, uh...
00:46:32How's everything?
00:46:33Since we talked this morning?
00:46:34Come on.
00:46:36No, come on.
00:46:37I haven't seen Lena in a while.
00:46:38She looks great.
00:46:39You're right.
00:46:40She looks great.
00:46:40Four months after giving birth, she looks really great.
00:46:43Very, very great.
00:46:43And I'll be honest with you.
00:46:45Yes.
00:46:46No, I won't, actually.
00:46:48I changed my mind, and I will not be honest, because, uh...
00:46:51It's just that I, uh...
00:46:53I think I saw somewhere where, for them, giving birth is like having an affair.
00:46:56That's what I meant.
00:46:57It gives them a glow.
00:46:58A glow, yes.
00:46:59So she's alive again in a whole new way, and that's beautiful, it so happens.
00:47:03You, by the way, can kiss my ass, and that'll make us both happy.
00:47:07It's the strangest thing.
00:47:08See for yourself.
00:47:10Well, Bernardo?
00:47:12Well, it doesn't look like him to me.
00:47:14No, at all.
00:47:15I rest my case.
00:47:16He doesn't look like either of his parents.
00:47:18I think he was switched in the hospital.
00:47:20Oh, I'm sorry.
00:47:21Is that what happened?
00:47:22Did some drunken nurse switch you?
00:47:27There you go.
00:47:30Good night.
00:47:32Good night.
00:47:32Good night.
00:47:33Good night, sweetie.
00:47:45Good night, I can't...
00:47:46Oh, I told you I couldn't.
00:47:52Of course I want to.
00:47:54It's just...
00:47:56You just have to be patient.
00:47:59Yeah?
00:48:01Uh-huh.
00:48:03I absolutely guarantee it.
00:48:09Yeah, okay.
00:48:13Okay.
00:48:17Bye.
00:48:23Debbie.
00:48:25Debbie.
00:48:27She wants me to go see those male strippers.
00:48:33That should be fun.
00:48:37Could you try her again, please?
00:48:39I just did, sir.
00:48:43Keep trying her every ten minutes until you reach her.
00:48:47Yes, sir, but it's Wednesday.
00:48:49I have that funeral tomorrow, so I'm leaving early.
00:48:53Just keep trying, please, until you go.
00:48:57Yes, sir, of course.
00:49:09I love these late dinners after the kids are asleep.
00:49:11You have a bruise on your leg.
00:49:13Christ.
00:49:15Where'd you get it?
00:49:17My shrink says I should...
00:49:19Why do I always have to go through this?
00:49:21I'm clumsy, I bruise easily, and I don't want to talk about it every time I bump into a chair.
00:49:25Did you cook this?
00:49:27No, it's takeout.
00:49:29Why didn't you cook?
00:49:30What?
00:49:31Why didn't you cook?
00:49:33Because cooking gets boring. Why didn't you cook?

01:03:02Mr. Rear here, who are you?
01:03:04I'm Dr. Stienling, a psychiatrist.
01:03:06What the fuck happened here? Where's my wife?
01:03:08She was hysterical. I am here to evaluate your mental state.
01:03:11My mental state?
01:03:13If you're a danger to your wife, we can have you committed for 72 hours observation.
01:03:17Get the fuck out of here, son of a bitch.
01:03:19Officer! Officer!
01:03:20What the fuck's this?
01:03:27Take him away.
01:03:2951-50.
01:03:30You will be held for observation according to Welfare and Institutions Code 5150.
01:03:49You may use the telephone, wear your own clothes, and you may petition the court at any time for your release.
01:03:56I don't care what kind of law you practice at. I don't care who you pay. I don't care what it costs.
01:03:59I want out of here right now.
01:04:00The law? Fuck the law.
01:04:12And now, baby cakes.
01:04:14The moment you've all been waiting for.
01:04:16The moment which will determine, Ray Rear's state.
01:04:19Here she is, folks!
01:04:21That's right, Ray.
01:04:24It wasn't your second wife.
01:04:25It was your first.
01:04:26You should have stayed with Martha.
01:04:28Come on down!
01:04:29Come on!
01:04:30Give her one last dance!
01:04:31Come on!
01:04:51Hi, sweetie.
01:05:14Hi, sweetie.
01:05:14Hi, sweetie.
01:05:16How are the kids? I miss them.
01:05:25Just peachy.
01:05:27Want to go for a walk?
01:05:33Can't believe they let us out together.
01:05:35Oscar will protect me.
01:05:37The facility is expensive.
01:05:39What if I fly into a rage and attack you?
01:05:42You're sedated.
01:05:44I am?
01:05:45I don't feel sedated.
01:05:49That's because you're crazy.
01:05:51So, what are you doing here?
01:05:56Right as you're hearing, I wanted to tell you.
01:06:00Whichever way it goes.
01:06:01Whichever way it goes?
01:06:03I know it's dangerous.
01:06:05I know it's crazy.
01:06:06They aren't going to keep me in here.
01:06:08I just wanted to say, Ray, in spite of everything, I love you.
01:06:24I really, truly love you.
01:06:30Norman will be disappointed.
01:06:32Yeah.
01:06:33You've seen who I really am.
01:06:37Seen more than anybody ever.
01:06:39And you kept on loving me.
01:06:52You're a psychopath.
01:06:58Probably.
01:06:58Probably.
01:07:01Psychopaths can still love somebody, can't they?
01:07:03They do.
01:07:04Oh, man.
01:07:11Dr. Martin.
01:07:14Your Honor.
01:07:15Counselor.
01:07:16My client's been off medication for 36 hours?
01:07:18Yes, of course.
01:07:20These staff should be bringing him in any minute now.
01:07:26Four, four, four, five, four.
01:07:28Four, four, five, six, eight, eight, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, ten, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, ten.
01:07:32Mr. Reardon, you requested this writ hearing.
01:07:41Yes, Your Honor.
01:07:42You're being incarcerated against your will.
01:07:44And Dr. Spatz, the hospital recommends?
01:07:47It's a perplexing case, Your Honor.
01:07:49I suspect an atypical psychosis, but I need more time to evaluate.
01:07:55180 days additional.
01:07:56Wait a minute, please.
01:07:59Well, considering the danger to his wife, yes.
01:08:01That's what I'd recommend.
01:08:04Mr. Reardon, you understand this is a legal proceeding,
01:08:07but I find it very useful if the patient testifies first.
01:08:11Your Honor, we prefer...
01:08:12I'm glad to hear that.
01:08:14You're saying that your wife created a character and identity
01:08:17so you would fall in love with her?
01:08:18Yes.
01:08:19And she was guided by your friend, this Norman?
01:08:21Yes.
01:08:22Who she slept with throughout your marriage at this...
01:08:25Hotel of Chanticleer.
01:08:27And she'd call him sometimes on the phone
01:08:29and pretend it was this, um, fictitious girlfriend, Debbie.
01:08:33I mean, this sounds so crazy, but...
01:08:35No, no, no, not at all.
01:08:39But, um, the discovery of all this in such a short time made...
01:08:43I hit her.
01:08:53I've never done that before.
01:08:55And the idea that I pose some sort of permanent danger to her
01:08:58is just ludicrous.
01:09:00I understand.
01:09:01I think any of us making that sort of discovery...
01:09:04Uh, right.
01:09:09Now, let's see what the other side has to say.
01:09:13I'd like to call Dr. Steen, please.
01:09:16Dr. Steen, as Mrs. Reardon's psychiatrist,
01:09:18do you find that her husband poses a threat to her life?
01:09:21I thought so for some time.
01:09:22Mrs. Reardon has been seeing me for several years.
01:09:27And on many occasions,
01:09:29she's had visible and very alarming bruises.
01:09:33When I asked her about them,
01:09:34she said that her husband hit her.
01:09:36That's bullshit, Mr. Reardon.
01:09:40I've advised Lena frequently
01:09:43to go and see the police.
01:09:46So when this latest incident occurred...
01:09:50Your Honor, may I?
01:09:51How I told you before,
01:10:12I never hit that high.
01:10:13She's done this to herself.
01:10:14I'll take care of her.
01:10:15What?
01:10:15I'll take care of her.
01:10:17Well, then Mr. Reardon's accusation
01:10:21is about you and his wife.
01:10:23Look, I'm an asshole, Your Honor.
01:10:26Can I say that?
01:10:28All right, see,
01:10:28I've always been an asshole,
01:10:30but this?
01:10:32Even if Lena wanted me,
01:10:35well, I probably couldn't resist,
01:10:37to be honest.
01:10:39Once I could have.
01:10:40I mean, look at her.
01:10:41But to carry on this long?
01:10:47Ray is my friend.
01:10:51Besides,
01:10:52every Wednesday afternoon
01:10:54for the last ten years,
01:10:55I've played golf.
01:10:58Oh, I brought some letters
01:10:59from my golf buddies.
01:11:02Then these bruises,
01:11:10have you seen them before?
01:11:12Sure.
01:11:13And are you aware
01:11:14of any other examples
01:11:15of violence,
01:11:15particularly towards women?
01:11:17Oh.
01:11:20What was that?
01:11:22Um,
01:11:24Ray's first wife, Martha.
01:11:25When they broke up,
01:11:26he slapped her.
01:11:26Oh.
01:11:27Oh.
01:11:27Oh.
01:11:28Oh.
01:11:28Oh.
01:11:29Oh.
01:11:29Oh.
01:11:29Oh.
01:11:29Oh.
01:11:29Oh.
01:11:29Oh.
01:11:30Oh.
01:11:30Oh.
01:11:30Oh.
01:11:30Oh.
01:11:31Oh.
01:11:31Oh.
01:11:32I'm sorry.
01:11:38Your Honor,
01:11:38that was four and a half years ago.
01:11:42So noted, counselor.
01:11:45And your name?
01:11:46Debbie Tribium.
01:11:48And what is your relationship?
01:11:49I'm just, uh,
01:11:51I'm a friend of Lena's
01:11:52from dance class.
01:11:54And she calls me
01:11:55on the phone sometimes.
01:11:56Have you met Mr. Reardon?
01:11:58Sure.
01:11:59A couple of times.
01:12:00I had dinner there.
01:12:01Uh,
01:12:02once I dropped by?
01:12:03Uh,
01:12:04once I dropped by?
01:12:04I don't think you're so fucking dead.
01:12:06Debbie,
01:12:07do you work for a temporary agency?
01:12:11Excuse me?
01:12:12Do you?
01:12:14I own a cookie shop on the north side.
01:12:16Chocolate chip,
01:12:17oatmeal raisin.
01:12:18Okay, then describe the Reardon's apartment.
01:12:21Uh, it's a penthouse apartment with, um, cathedral ceilings.
01:12:29Um, the living room is on the right, kitchen's on the left, and, uh...
01:12:33All right.
01:12:34All right.
01:12:38Mr. Reardon, you're a distinguished architect without a blemish on your record.
01:12:41There's no history of any mental illness.
01:12:43I'm sane, Your Honor.
01:12:45You look sane, you sound sane, sir.
01:12:48But everything you say seems to be a delusion.
01:12:51Frankly, I'd like to believe you.
01:12:53But without a witness or some sort of corroboration.
01:12:56Your Honor, what about her bills?
01:12:58The Hotel Chanticleer, every Wednesday.
01:13:01$333.
01:13:02$379.
01:13:03Mrs. Reardon?
01:13:06Your Honor, I went to this Hotel Chanticleer,
01:13:08and, um, I have a letter from the manager saying he's never seen me before,
01:13:12that I'm not the Lena Reardon he knows.
01:13:14Then who's responsible for these charges?
01:13:17I must have used that credit card once or twice and then lost it.
01:13:20Uh, I didn't realize it was missing until a few days ago.
01:13:23I called the company, and they sent over copies of the charges
01:13:26if you'd like to compare signatures.
01:13:28Uh, that's not necessary.
01:13:30What?
01:13:31I'm sorry, Mr. Reardon.
01:13:33You're sorry?
01:13:34You're sorry?
01:13:35Hey, relax.
01:13:36This is my life we're talking about.
01:13:37I'm aware of that, sir.
01:13:39And I'm doing you a favor.
01:13:40If you weren't in this hospital, your wife could have put you in jail.
01:13:43But, but, but, but, sir, that's not what this is about.
01:13:46I mean, don't you see what she's doing?
01:13:47I mean, she's stolen my children.
01:13:49She's stolen my house.
01:13:51And she's manipulating you.
01:13:52Mr. Reardon, that's enough.
01:13:54It's your fucking hand.
01:13:55I'm warning you, sir.
01:13:57Oh, fuck you.
01:13:57All right?
01:13:58You've already made up your fucking...
01:13:59Very well, then.
01:14:02Proceed.
01:14:03Just watch it.
01:14:06You have no idea who you're dealing with.
01:14:09She lies to me, and she tells a different lie to you.
01:14:12I'd be happy to take a polygraph test.
01:14:13You're fucking right she'd take it.
01:14:15She'd pass, too.
01:14:15Some fucking machine.
01:14:16She is a machine.
01:14:17Mr. Reardon.
01:14:17I'm a machine.
01:14:18You married me.
01:14:19I married you, and I loved you, and you're fucking killing me.
01:14:22Hands up.
01:14:24You're on a hood if you want to execute me.
01:14:26Your honor, please.
01:14:27Don't let us wear these in here.
01:14:39Get your fucking hands off.
01:14:40Get your fucking hands off.
01:14:40Get your fucking hands off.
01:14:49How are we doing today, Ray?
01:14:50God bless pharmaceuticals.
01:15:02You know what my daddy says?
01:15:11My daddy says there are no accidents.
01:15:14That we all get exactly what we want.
01:15:17Your daddy's wrong.
01:15:20Talk about it.
01:15:25Family makes you crazy, and friends ease the pain.
01:15:32Right, John?
01:15:33Yeah, that's what friends are for.
01:15:37That's what...
01:15:38Friends.
01:15:41Friends.
01:15:47Hi.
01:15:59All right.
01:16:00All right.
01:16:08Thanks.
01:16:15Bye.
01:16:15It's Ray.
01:16:20Visit me soon.
01:16:21I don't tell anybody you're coming.
01:16:31Go to bed.
01:16:45Ray?
01:17:04Ray, it's Elaine.
01:17:07I'm here.
01:17:11Is it all right if I take him outside?
01:17:13You're safe.
01:17:14With the drugs he's on, he couldn't hurt a fly in December.
01:17:19Go on.
01:17:21You called me, right?
01:17:23I'm sure it was you.
01:17:25Well, look, I've been doing some work on my own to get you out of here,
01:17:30but this is a very weird legal area.
01:17:33I...
01:17:34Thanks for coming.
01:17:36You know why I'm in here, right?
01:17:39Well, I was wrong about Norman, and I think it was Larry.
01:17:42What was Larry?
01:17:43Larry's been fucking late now.
01:17:45Is that possible?
01:17:47For a long time?
01:17:47For four or five years?
01:17:49It's possible, but I...
01:17:51It's more than possible.
01:17:55It explains...
01:17:56It would explain a...
01:17:59I think I'm going to go to New Zealand and go to New Zealand.
01:18:06What?
01:18:08What?
01:18:10He bought a house in New Zealand without my knowledge.
01:18:15It was a down payment we couldn't afford,
01:18:17and when I found out about it, he told me that it was some kind of an investment.
01:18:21Don't ever tell him you know.
01:18:29I won't.
01:18:31Make his life misery.
01:18:35Believe me.
01:18:35I want to retain your legal services.
01:18:45Is there any way you can be forced to reveal this conversation?
01:18:49No.
01:18:49Good.
01:18:50Then tell me if this will work.
01:18:53What?
01:18:54Lena, it's Elaine.
01:19:00I'm out here visiting Ray.
01:19:02No, he's sedated.
01:19:04He's silent.
01:19:05But he did say this one thing.
01:19:08He said,
01:19:09You made a mistake.
01:19:12I don't know, but he kept repeating it.
01:19:15He said,
01:19:16You made a big mistake.
01:19:18You forgot something.
01:19:21Yeah, that was all.
01:19:24Okay.
01:19:27Yeah.
01:19:28You too.
01:19:31I don't know, Ray.
01:19:33Maybe.
01:19:34Maybe not.
01:19:37Okay, Ray.
01:19:38I'll see you soon.
01:19:39Good luck.
01:19:57Billy.
01:19:59Billy, wake up.
01:20:01Talk about it.
01:20:04What's my name?
01:20:07John.
01:20:07What's your name?
01:20:10John?
01:20:11Do you want $100?
01:20:14American money?
01:20:15You bet.
01:20:17I'll remind you every night,
01:20:19and one day,
01:20:20I'll tap you on the knee,
01:20:22and you'll know what to do.
01:20:24Okay?
01:20:25Okay, John.
01:20:26Okay.
01:20:27Okay.
01:20:28Please,
01:20:29I'll see you on the side.
01:20:30Bye.
01:20:33Bye.
01:20:36Bye.
01:20:36Bye.
01:20:37Bye.
01:20:38Bye.
01:20:49Bye.
01:20:49Bye.
01:20:49Bye.
01:20:54Bye.
01:20:55I'm ready.
01:20:58I'm right as rain, ready as Robert.
01:21:02Don't worry about me, John.
01:21:10Oh, hi.
01:21:12He's over there.
01:21:25That's what I'll use.
01:21:38Go ahead.
01:21:55Happy birthday.
01:22:17Timber!
01:22:19Jesus, Billy, who woke you up?
01:22:21Get off of me.
01:22:22Get off of me.
01:22:25Your old boyfriend, Buddy, his father had his mother committed.
01:22:33Is that where you got the idea?
01:22:36Maybe.
01:22:38So everything was planned.
01:22:43Well done.
01:22:44I just think it's wonderful that you've come.
01:22:57Thank you so, so much.
01:22:59It came because of some bullshit you told Elaine.
01:23:01There was a flaw in my plan.
01:23:03Speaking of plans, I must ask, are you really going to New Zealand with Larry?
01:23:08Larry?
01:23:08When I'm done with him, he'll wish he was you.
01:23:11What are you going to do with my kids?
01:23:14Take your kids with me and tell them you died, or maybe I'll just leave them.
01:23:17I don't think so.
01:23:19You still don't have the faintest clue who I am or what I do.
01:23:22Likewise.
01:23:25God, you are so beautiful.
01:23:28Ravishing.
01:23:30You okay?
01:23:30Never better.
01:23:36Never, never better.
01:23:54What are you doing?
01:23:55Well, this is the last time we're going to see each other, right?
01:24:00Right.
01:24:02I want to thank you with all sincerity.
01:24:05I've been sleepwalking my whole life, and you've woken me up, and I feel alive now.
01:24:10You're fucked.
01:24:11Yes, but I'm alive and inspired.
01:24:14I mean, you saw your plan with such clarity, such ruthlessness.
01:24:17Well done.
01:24:18Let me go.
01:24:19No.
01:24:20I'll scream.
01:24:21No, you won't.
01:24:23Why won't I?
01:24:23Because everyone will come running, and you won't get it.
01:24:28Get what?
01:24:30What you want.
01:24:32What you deserve.
01:24:36I mean, you deserve to know all the flaws in your plan.
01:24:41You were so good at it.
01:24:46And you might want to do it again.
01:24:53Okay, tell me.
01:25:00Kiss me first.
01:25:01What?
01:25:03Kiss me.
01:25:04And I'll tell.
01:25:06Only it has to be a real kiss.
01:25:10Something to remember.
01:25:11We don't need Oscar.
01:25:18We don't need anyone.
01:25:23Kiss me.
01:25:26And I'll release you.
01:25:28Who are you, Alina?
01:25:48Who will you be when you die?
01:25:51You don't have the guts.
01:25:53Don't I?
01:25:53No, Ray.
01:25:55They're too practical.
01:25:56What about the consequences?
01:25:58There are no consequences.
01:26:01That's the flaw in your plan.
01:26:04I'm crazy.
01:26:07You've driven me crazy.
01:26:09That was the whole idea.
01:26:11Crazy people aren't responsible.
01:26:15Crazy people aren't legally responsible.
01:26:17Not guilty by reason of insanity.
01:26:23In a year, I'll be sane again.
01:26:26And they'll have to let me out.
01:26:27I don't know.
