Transcript
00:00You hardly know me, Johnny, so I beg you to believe my reputation.
00:19I am a constant soldier, a sometime poet, and I will be king.
00:23What do you want from me?
00:24No goddamn robot.
00:26I don't.
00:26Liar.
00:27Tell me.
00:28Reclan.
00:28I'm not, I'm not.
00:29I'm not the postman.
00:30I can't.
00:31What was it all for?
00:34Why did I do it?
00:36I don't know what you're trying to say.
00:38Am I a good man?
00:41Or am I a bad man?
00:43A census taker once tried to test me.
00:47I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
00:55Vampires do exist.
00:57And this one we fight, this one we face, has the strength of 20 or more people.
01:04And you can testify for that, Mr. Harker.
01:07I really must ask you, please, not to disturb the few moments I have to pass.
01:13You're a damn fool.
01:15You're just spoiling for a fight with a man who outweighed you by 20 pounds.
01:19It was now, as we speak, searching in the bar for some kind of a weapon.
01:23Isn't that right, Mr. Saxley?
01:24To split your stupid skull and kill you a stone, dead and good riddance, too.
01:28Now leave it!
01:28Vietnam, the Kennedys, cleared a path through the wilderness just for me.
01:34Over the bodies.
01:41Four bodies.
01:42Now, gentlemen, I must say I differ with the keen minds of the South and with our president, who apparently shares their views, offering that the natural state of mankind is instead, and I know this is a controversial idea, is freedom.
01:58I came halfway around the world, to watch you run, Clarice.
02:06Let me run, huh?
02:08I need your opinion now.
02:10And here's one.
02:12You stink of fear under that cheap lotion.
02:15You stink of fear, well, but you're not a coward.
02:19You look closely enough and you'll find everything has a big spot where it can break so long later.
02:26In the name of my father, and his father before, I owe it to our father.
02:35Cast you out!
02:38I do not want music over the shower murder scene.
02:41But what Alma and I talked about is really going to play.
02:44Bernie, this is not Vertigo, it's not a romantic movie.
02:47The images must work on their own.
02:49We can't define consciousness because consciousness does not exist.
02:53Humans fancy that there's something special about the way we perceive the world, and yet we live in loops as tight and as closed as the hosts do.
03:03I do wish we could chat longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye.
03:10Bye.
03:11Bye.
