Silent Screams

Silent Screams is a dark and atmospheric story where fear hides beneath the surface. Unspoken terror, buried secrets, and lingering tension slowly build as the silence grows louder than any scream. A chilling experience that explores the horror of what is felt… but never said.

Transcript

00:00:00I will talk to you of art, for there is nothing else to talk about, for there is nothing else.

00:00:18Life is an obscure hobo bumming a ride on the omnibus of art.

00:00:23Burn gas, buggies, and whip your sour cream of circumstance, and hope, and go ahead and

00:00:31sleep your bloody heads off, creation is, all else is not, what is not creation is graham

00:00:42crackers, let it all crumble to feed the creator, the others is, all others are not.

00:00:53A canvas is a canvas, or a paper, a rock is a rock, or a statue, a sound is a sound, or

00:01:07is music, a creature is a creature, or an art.

00:01:15Where are John, Joe, Jake, Jim, Jerk? Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. They were not born. Before

00:01:31they were born. They were not born. Where are Leonardo, Rembrandt, Ludwig? Alive. Alive. Alive.

00:01:43They were born. Bring on the multitude, the multitude of fishes. Feed them to the fishes for

00:01:53liver oil, to nourish the artisan. Stretch their skin upon an easel, to give him camp. Crush their bones into a

00:02:04paint, that he might mold them. Let them die, and by their miserable deaths become the clay

00:02:14within his hands, that he might form an ashtray, or an art. For all that is comes through the eye of the artist.

00:02:26Arrest a blind fish, swimming in the cave of aloneness. Swim on, you maudlin, muddling, maddened fool.

00:02:37And breathe, that one bright and sunny night, some artist will bait a hook, and let you bite upon it. Bite hard, and die. In his stomach, you are very close to immortality.

00:02:55All right.

00:02:56All right.

00:02:57All right.

00:02:58Walter?

00:02:59Walter, what are you doing there? I was looking at college pictures.

00:03:00Do I pay you to look at pictures? I get to work. I was just looking. There are empty cups all over the place.

00:03:15Clear them out.

00:03:17You shouldn't be so rough on him, Lennon.

00:03:24Yes, sir, Walter.

00:03:25All right.

00:03:37I think I'll cut.

00:03:47Yes, man.

00:03:51How are you making?

00:03:52Fine, man.

00:03:52How about you?

00:03:53In the mouth.

00:04:05Valdez, Weiss.

00:04:07Yeah, LaCroix checking in.

00:04:08It took over a couple of minutes ago.

00:04:10Anything new at the door?

00:04:11Well, nothing you can pound nails in.

00:04:13A couple of hustlers.

00:04:14One of them short, fat, brunette.

00:04:16Named Skinny.

00:04:17The other one was short also.

00:04:19She was bleached and skinny.

00:04:21Name her fat.

00:04:22Probably, I didn't get it.

00:04:24They didn't give any pictures, though.

00:04:25I guess you can keep an eye on them.

00:04:27Okay, any hits?

00:04:29Well, Jerry Sachs looked like he was straight.

00:04:31I'm sure he's on it anyway.

00:04:33Didn't see any pushes around the place.

00:04:35Lou said he'd check out on Jerry.

00:04:36He'll sound him out later if he gets any higher.

00:04:39I guess that's about it.

00:04:40Okay, go on home and get a good night's sleep, you think.

00:04:45Okay, so long.

00:04:46Everyone listen to my new poem.

00:04:51Do you think they really heard it?

00:04:52I heard it, Mr. Brock.

00:04:54Thank you, Walter.

00:04:55I'm sure you did.

00:04:56Bring on the multitude with a multitude of fishes.

00:04:59Feed them to the fishes for live well to nourish the artist.

00:05:01That was a word for word.

00:05:05Yes, sir.

00:05:05I've forgotten.

00:05:06You mean you don't remember your own poem?

00:05:08I refuse to say anything twice.

00:05:10Repetition is death.

00:05:12Oh, got it.

00:05:13When you repeat something, you are reliving a moment.

00:05:15Wasting it.

00:05:17Severing it from the other end of your life.

00:05:19I believe only in new impressions.

00:05:20New stimuli.

00:05:21New life.

00:05:22I thought you believed that life is an obscure hobo bumming a ride on a...

00:05:25I do believe that, Walter.

00:05:26But I also believe creative living.

00:05:29To be uncreative, you might as well be in your grave.

00:05:31Or in the army.

00:05:32They tried to draft me once.

00:05:36I couldn't pass the test.

00:05:39Walter?

00:05:41Lennon's looking at you.

00:05:45Jesus, my God.

00:05:48Walter has a clear mind.

00:05:50One day something will enter it, feel lonely, and leave again.

00:05:54Yes, cats, yes.

00:05:56If you want to know how beatniks live, William and me will show you.

00:06:00We'll introduce you to some wild one.

00:06:02You may even discover an artist of your own.

00:06:05And how much is that going to cost us?

00:06:07What cost?

00:06:08A couple of bucks.

00:06:09You want to meet some beatniks, don't you?

00:06:11Oh, no, it's the artist.

00:06:12I'm just crazy about artists.

00:06:13All that is comes through the eye of the artist.

00:06:15The rest are just blind fish swimming in a cave of aloneness.

00:06:18Oh, you must be an artist.

00:06:20And working as a best boy, too.

00:06:22Feed him that he will be satisfied.

00:06:24The artist is.

00:06:25All others are not.

00:06:26That's most intriguing.

00:06:28Are you a painter?

00:06:30Well, no, I work...

00:06:31I'm working on something that's not ready yet.

00:06:34What is it, man?

00:06:35Finger painting?

00:06:36Draw me a picture of a houseboat.

00:06:38Make some smoke coming out of the chimney.

00:06:39I am working on something.

00:06:41I'll show you soon.

00:06:42Walter?

00:06:42Is he here?

00:06:48Is he here?

00:07:08Did you get a good look, kid?

00:07:09Got it all.

00:07:13Oh, hello, Mrs. Switzer.

00:07:43Oh, Walter, you look awful pale.

00:07:45What'd you have to eat tonight?

00:07:46I had a salami sandwich, Mrs. Switzer.

00:07:48Oh, if you were my son.

00:07:50Why don't you let me fix your nice bowl of soup?

00:07:52Won't take but a minute.

00:07:53Well, it's okay.

00:07:54I can fix myself something.

00:07:55Besides, I got something important to do.

00:07:57Oh, say, Walter, did you see anything of Frankie tonight when you went out?

00:08:01I didn't see him at all.

00:08:02Well, if you do, tell him I got a nice, fresh piece of halibut, Mom.

00:08:06Tell him that?

00:08:07I mean, do you think he'll understand?

00:08:09He's only a cat.

00:08:10Good night, Walter.

00:08:12Good night.

00:11:34FRANKIE?

00:11:35FRANKIE?

00:11:36FRANKIE?

00:11:38YOU ALL RIGHT FRANKIE?

00:11:50FRANKIE?

00:11:51FRANKIE?

00:11:55FRANKIE?

00:11:57Oh, Frank, yeah.

00:12:04I'm sorry.

00:12:14Oh, Mrs. Squickard.

00:12:20She had a nice, fresh piece of halibut for you.

00:12:28I'll give you two in the morning.

00:12:39Repetition is death, Frankie.

00:12:57I'll give you two in the morning.

00:13:27Let them die, and by their miserable deaths become the clay within his hands, that he might

00:13:41form an ashtray or an ark.

00:13:46Pray that you might be his diadem, gold, glory, paint, clay, that he might take you in his

00:13:54magic hands and wring from your marrow wonder.

00:13:57We're a John Joe gym jerk.

00:14:03Dead, dead, dead.

00:14:17Walter, why are you doing here so early?

00:14:31Well, I've brought something.

00:14:32I think you'll like it.

00:14:33Take that stuff to the laundry mat, Walter.

00:14:35Huh?

00:14:36Don't mind him.

00:14:37What have you got?

00:14:38It's a thing I made.

00:14:47You like it?

00:14:50What you got?

00:14:51Oh, come look at this, Leonard.

00:14:53Well, where'd you get that, auction?

00:14:55I made it.

00:14:56You made that?

00:14:58I said I did, didn't I?

00:14:59Well, it was very good.

00:15:01Honest?

00:15:01Honest.

00:15:03What's it called?

00:15:04Dead cat?

00:15:05Dead cat?

00:15:07That's its name?

00:15:08Sure.

00:15:09Well, it sure looks dead enough.

00:15:12You, you want to buy it?

00:15:13Buy it?

00:15:14That thing?

00:15:15Scare people out of the place.

00:15:18Don't be silly.

00:15:19It's tremendous.

00:15:20Look at the detail.

00:15:22The anatomy's perfect.

00:15:24Look at the expression on its face.

00:15:27How come you put a knife into it?

00:15:29I didn't mean to.

00:15:31Just got carried away, huh?

00:15:34Well, all right.

00:15:37I'll tell you what I'll do.

00:15:38I'll put it in the corner of the alcove.

00:15:40If it sells, we'll split 50-50.

00:15:42Okay?

00:15:42Sure.

00:15:43Does this mean I'm an artist?

00:15:45Maybe so.

00:15:46You can do other things as well.

00:15:48All that is, it comes through the eye of the artist.

00:15:51Yeah, you're a real artist now.

00:15:53I go in back and scrub down those garbage cans.

00:15:56Much now.

00:15:56You really like it?

00:16:02We like it.

00:16:03Now go on.

00:16:16Did you see my cat?

00:16:17What's the matter?

00:16:18You're losing?

00:16:18How do you like my cat?

00:16:28You make this thing mad?

00:16:30Uh-huh.

00:16:31It's crazy.

00:16:33It's crazy.

00:16:35You want to buy it?

00:16:37What do you mean, Matt?

00:16:38I'm tapped.

00:16:39He likes my cat.

00:16:48He's got to work.

00:16:59Hey, hey, Walter.

00:17:01Give me a minute.

00:17:01Hey, congratulations, Matt.

00:17:07Walter, you're famous.

00:17:09I saw your cat.

00:17:10Did you like it, Mr. Brock?

00:17:12You may call me Maxwell.

00:17:13How'd you do it, Walter?

00:17:15All right.

00:17:16Just put some clay and fixed it up.

00:17:21Attention.

00:17:22Attention, everyone.

00:17:24As you pass through these yellow portals, I am sure you noticed on your right a small

00:17:28clay figure.

00:17:29And assume this transfixed effigy to be the work of a master sculptor.

00:17:34And indeed, so it is.

00:17:35That master sculptor is in our midst.

00:17:39He is none other than Walter Paisley, our very own busboy, whose hands of genius have

00:17:46been carrying away the empty cups of your frustrations.

00:17:50Mark well, this lad.

00:17:52His is the silent voice of creation.

00:17:54But in the dark, rich soil of humility, he blossoms as the hope of our nearly sterile century.

00:18:04Beautiful, Maxwell.

00:18:06Bring me an espresso, Walter.

00:18:08That's natural.

00:18:08Really beautiful.

00:18:10Man, you are in.

00:18:11Oh, Walter.

00:18:12It was wonderful.

00:18:13Yes, this is my man.

00:18:17Hey, Bob, so what's happening?

00:18:26Making a big scene for Walter.

00:18:28Who did he shoot?

00:18:29He made a cat.

00:18:32Out of clay.

00:18:34See you around.

00:18:35Yeah, later.

00:18:36Will somebody clear this table, please?

00:18:50Will somebody clear this table?

00:18:54Did you hear them, Mr. DeSantis?

00:18:59They all like my cat.

00:19:00Yeah, very good.

00:19:01Now, look, Walter.

00:19:03You must be tired.

00:19:04Why don't you take the rest of the night off?

00:19:06No, no, no, no.

00:19:07You got it coming.

00:19:08Besides, you're creating an incident.

00:19:10When people are applauding, they don't order coffee.

00:19:12So go on home and work on something.

00:19:15Make another cat.

00:19:16Well, I haven't got another cat.

00:19:19Just go to the movies.

00:19:21Please, Walter, go.

00:19:22All right, Mr. DeSantis.

00:19:24Good night.

00:19:25Good night, Walter.

00:19:27Walter?

00:19:28Walter, wait a minute.

00:19:29Oh, hello, Mayor Lee.

00:19:31Walter, I dug it.

00:19:34My cat?

00:19:35It was the most wonderful, wildest, like the biggest thing I've ever seen.

00:19:41Walter, you've done something to me.

00:19:43Something deep down inside of my prana.

00:19:47I have?

00:19:48Oh, Walter, I want to be with you.

00:19:51You're creative.

00:19:54You've got a hot light bulb glowing inside of you, and I want to be warm by it.

00:20:00Gee, that's nice of you, Naolia.

00:20:02Walter, take me away from here.

00:20:05Take me away to some cool blue place.

00:20:08You gasp.

00:20:10I can't.

00:20:10I've got to go home.

00:20:12Oh, then I'll go home with you.

00:20:13Oh, no.

00:20:14Mrs. Swickard wouldn't like that.

00:20:15She's my landlady.

00:20:17Isn't there anything I can do for you?

00:20:19I don't think so, Naolia.

00:20:22Walter, I can't let you just split like this.

00:20:26I've got to do something.

00:20:28I've got to contribute.

00:20:30You don't have to do anything.

00:20:33Wait.

00:20:35Wait.

00:20:35There is one thing I can do.

00:20:37One little thing.

00:20:39Don't leave, Walter.

00:20:41Walter.

00:20:42I want to give you something.

00:20:44Something that will make you remember me.

00:20:51Put it in your pocket.

00:20:54Now go, Walter.

00:20:56Don't look back.

00:20:58Go.

00:21:02Ha, ha, ha.

00:21:03Ha, ha, ha.

00:21:05Ha, ha, ha.

00:21:06Ha, ha, ha.

00:21:07Ha, ha, ha.

00:21:37Can I have your autograph, Mr. Paisley?

00:21:59Quite certainly, my good woman.

00:22:03Everybody likes my cat.

00:22:04You want to buy my statue, mister?

00:22:09Ten thousand dollars?

00:22:11Okay.

00:22:15See, I'll be famous.

00:22:18And then I can ask Carla, and she'll say yes.

00:22:21I know she will.

00:22:22Hello, Walter.

00:22:42Oh, hi.

00:22:42Hey, you're Lou, ain't you?

00:22:44I've seen you down at Yellow Door plenty.

00:22:45Come on in.

00:22:46I was just making some pancakes.

00:22:48You can have some if you like.

00:22:49Did you see my cat?

00:22:50Yeah, I saw your cat.

00:22:52I also saw that chick lay these on you.

00:22:54Oh, that was Mayoli.

00:22:55She's a nice girl.

00:22:56She's kind of strange, though.

00:22:59I guess she figures I get headaches or something.

00:23:01Okay, Walter, who's your connection?

00:23:03Connection?

00:23:03Yeah, connection.

00:23:05Who do you score from?

00:23:06Where do you buy your horse?

00:23:07Horse?

00:23:08Horse.

00:23:09Junk.

00:23:10White stuff.

00:23:11Heroin.

00:23:11Is that what that is?

00:23:13I've never seen any of that before.

00:23:14I always thought that was expensive.

00:23:16Yeah, Walter, that can be real expensive.

00:23:18Gee.

00:23:19Well, what's not nice to Mayoli that give me that expensive horse?

00:23:22Walter.

00:23:22Huh?

00:23:24Police officer.

00:23:26Oh.

00:23:27You're like an undercover man.

00:23:29You're under arrest, Walter.

00:23:30Under arrest for what?

00:23:32Possession of narcotics.

00:23:33For me?

00:23:34What are you talking about?

00:23:35Walter, I got you cold.

00:23:37Now, you just come along quietly.

00:23:38I didn't do nothing.

00:23:40And Mayoli would give me those.

00:23:41I didn't ask her for it.

00:23:42I didn't even know what was in that.

00:23:43All right, you can tell them that downtown.

00:23:45Now, let's go.

00:23:45I ain't going no place with you.

00:23:47Walter, do I have to point this at you?

00:23:49You're going to shoot me.

00:23:50No.

00:23:51Don't shoot me.

00:23:51Walter, just relax.

00:23:52No, you're going to shoot me.

00:23:53Now, just relax.

00:23:54No, don't shoot me.

00:23:55Just shut up, Walter.

00:23:55No, you're going to shoot me.

00:23:56Don't shoot.

00:23:57Don't shoot me.

00:23:57Walter, are you all right?

00:24:17I thought I heard you shouting a minute ago.

00:24:19What's all the noise in here?

00:24:35Noise, Mrs. Swickett?

00:24:36What noise?

00:24:37Don't tell me I didn't hear a racket.

00:24:39Are you sure you're all alone?

00:24:41I'm always alone, Mrs. Swickett.

00:24:44Walter, have you been talking to yourself again?

00:24:46Well, I guess maybe I have Mrs. Swickett.

00:24:49Somebody's got to.

00:24:50Walter, you know, what you need is a girl.

00:24:52But she doesn't have to be pretty.

00:24:54Just alone, she takes good care of you.

00:24:56Well, I can take real good care of myself, Mrs. Swickett.

00:24:59Yeah, I can see that.

00:25:00Look at this pad.

00:25:02Terrible.

00:25:02Why did you ever clean it up?

00:25:04And where did you change these sheets last?

00:25:06They look like they're alive.

00:25:08Now, Mrs. Swickett, I've got to meet some friends in a little while,

00:25:11and I've got to take a shower.

00:25:12Well, why don't you clean up this guy?

00:25:14What's the matter, Swickett?

00:25:16I don't mean to hurt you a little.

00:25:41If you'd have shot me, you'd be mopping up my blood now.

00:25:46I can't help it if I got scared and hit you.

00:25:49I didn't leave it.

00:25:57It's crazy.

00:25:59It's crazy.

00:26:04I didn't know you had it in you, Walter.

00:26:06How'd you do it?

00:26:12Just took some clay and fixed it up.

00:26:18Go home and make something, Walter.

00:26:21Make another cat.

00:26:22But I haven't got another cat.

00:26:36No, nobody seems to know where he went.

00:26:39Why don't you put an alert out on him, and I'll check on him from here.

00:26:43Okay, right.

00:26:43Let's go.

00:27:05Come on.

00:27:35Come on.

00:28:05Jim Evans was a murderer all in his prison cell, and those who read about his crimes, they damned it so to hell.

00:28:17Saying, go down, you murderer, go down, for the murder of his own true wife and the killing of his own child.

00:28:30The jury found him guilty, and the hanging judge, he smiled.

00:28:36And there's the fuzz.

00:28:39What do you suppose they want?

00:28:41You, man.

00:28:43You.

00:28:44Hey, maybe they're looking for a Walter.

00:28:46He's a criminal type.

00:28:47Don't you, Walter?

00:28:51I'm sorry, Mr. DeSantis.

00:28:53Oh, that's all right, Walter.

00:28:54Sit down.

00:28:55You need to sit down.

00:28:58Greetings, man.

00:29:00I'm not supposed to sit with the customers.

00:29:03Wait.

00:29:04Now, why shouldn't you sit at the table, Walter?

00:29:06After all, you're a big artist now.

00:29:08A true creator above Millmore.

00:29:11What's the big idea?

00:29:13Idea?

00:29:14I was just telling Walter the truth.

00:29:18A man wanted to pay me $100 for the cat.

00:29:21In fact, he's taken it home to show to his wife.

00:29:24Proves that I underestimated Walter's ability.

00:29:27His work has enormous realism.

00:29:30You can hardly tell it from the real thing.

00:29:32Boy, that sounds like a real put-down.

00:29:35Get off Walter's back, Leonard.

00:29:36Oh, I have his back.

00:29:38You're not very funny.

00:29:40I'm not trying today.

00:29:43Walter.

00:29:44What are you going to make next?

00:29:46A dog, maybe.

00:29:48Or a bird.

00:29:51How about a few dozen cockroaches from your room?

00:29:55Hey, man.

00:29:55Why don't you make an elephant?

00:29:57I got a new one.

00:29:59Great.

00:30:00What is it?

00:30:01It's a full-length, life-size figure.

00:30:05Crazy.

00:30:06What is it called?

00:30:07A murdered man.

00:30:10When do we get to see it?

00:30:11Oh, any time.

00:30:12Hey, that's a pretty far-out name for a statue.

00:30:15I saw a statue once.

00:30:17It was called the third time Phyllis saw me, she exploded.

00:30:20What kind of a statue was that?

00:30:22I don't know.

00:30:23Made out of driftwood and dipped in fluoric acid.

00:30:26It's very wild.

00:30:27What's wrong, Leonard?

00:30:32Nothing.

00:30:33Nothing at all.

00:30:34It's the food in this dump.

00:30:36Oh, man.

00:30:36You should try the Sorel sewer.

00:30:38They got wheat germ bagel.

00:30:40Too much.

00:30:40Excuse me, please.

00:30:44I think he really is sick.

00:30:47So who isn't?

00:30:50Sanders!

00:30:52I've been trying to get you all evening.

00:30:54Gotta make a call.

00:30:55Gotta call Lieutenant Belvis.

00:30:57Listen, I was wrong about my wife.

00:30:58She wants that cat after all.

00:31:00Do you hear me?

00:31:01I'll give you that hundred dollars for the cat.

00:31:03I can't talk to you just now.

00:31:04All right then, two hundred.

00:31:06No.

00:31:08No.

00:31:09Three hundred dollars and that's top.

00:31:14Three hundred dollars for the cat?

00:31:17I know I'm going out of my mind, but I've been collecting our pieces all over Europe for years.

00:31:22And this boy, Walter Paisley, has got it.

00:31:24I want to buy his first work.

00:31:26And to make very sure that I get it, I'll pay you five hundred dollars.

00:31:30Five hundred dollars for the cat and the first look at his next stuff.

00:31:34Someone has the cat just now, but I'll have him back in a few days.

00:31:45Then you can have it for the five hundred dollars.

00:31:48Oh, thank you, sir.

00:31:49I think I've made a bargain.

00:31:51Call me when you're ready.

00:31:52Good night.

00:31:57Larry!

00:31:59Feel better?

00:32:00Look, I'm going over to Walter's later after the place closes to see murdered man.

00:32:06You feel up to coming along?

00:32:07The rope was fixed around

00:32:10And a washer behind his ear

00:32:13And the prison bell was tolling

00:32:16But Jim Evans didn't hear

00:32:19Saying, go down, you murderer, go down

00:32:24Look at the size of it.

00:32:33Well, it's not really that big.

00:32:35I got it on kind of a stamp.

00:32:37Well, let's see it.

00:32:39I'm a little nervous.

00:32:40I never bit a person before.

00:32:42You can do anything if you set your mind to it.

00:32:44It's hard here.

00:32:45You want me to open a window?

00:32:47Come on, Walter.

00:32:48Take off the sheet.

00:32:49Take off the sheet.

00:32:51Don't you like it?

00:33:05Walter, it's a masterpiece.

00:33:08I've never seen anything like it before.

00:33:12And I hope I never see anything like it again.

00:33:16Neither do I.

00:33:20It's hideous.

00:33:21And it's eloquent.

00:33:24Expresses modern man in all his self-pity.

00:33:29How did you ever find that in yourself, Walter?

00:33:31Well, it wasn't easy.

00:33:36What's the matter with you?

00:33:38Nothing.

00:33:39Nothing at all.

00:33:40I've never seen anyone so squeamish.

00:33:43What's your opinion, Leonard?

00:33:45Don't ask me.

00:33:46Oh, come on.

00:33:47Now, even you must see its value.

00:33:49Do you think that you or I could have conceived of such a thing, much less executed it?

00:33:55Well, then admit it.

00:33:56It's a work of genius.

00:33:58I admit it.

00:33:59Then let's take it out of the yellow door.

00:34:03No.

00:34:04Why not?

00:34:05I'll tell you.

00:34:07Well, you cover it up again, please.

00:34:10Please.

00:34:16What is all this nonsense?

00:34:18Why do you want to hide it?

00:34:20Well, I've been thinking.

00:34:24I didn't realize how much talent Walter actually had.

00:34:28It would be wrong to show his pieces one at a time.

00:34:32Dead wrong.

00:34:33You're right.

00:34:35He should build a collection first.

00:34:38Good.

00:34:40That's the idea.

00:34:41Maybe when it's big enough, we're going to have a show.

00:34:42A show?

00:34:43Just for me?

00:34:44No.

00:34:45Not exactly.

00:34:46I mean, you take years and years.

00:34:47It's getting hot again.

00:34:52Well, it would take you years to make that many statues.

00:34:55But your work would be featured.

00:34:57It's a wonderful idea, Walter.

00:34:59It's the only way to gain recognition.

00:35:01All the big art critics and art dealers will be there.

00:35:03It'll be an event.

00:35:04Yes, then we can unload.

00:35:06We can sell this stuff for a lot more.

00:35:08But a show.

00:35:09How soon can we go?

00:35:10Don't rush things.

00:35:11It takes time.

00:35:12But first of all, you've got to stop making these horrible statues.

00:35:15Carla and I will guide you.

00:35:19Maybe you can turn to freeform.

00:35:21Freeform?

00:35:21Well, that's the movement today.

00:35:22With his talent for realists.

00:35:24But you can see the direction this realism takes.

00:35:26It's unhealthy.

00:35:27But you said I was a genius.

00:35:28I don't want to be a busboy anymore.

00:35:31Yes.

00:35:31Maybe you've got a point there.

00:35:32You shouldn't keep working at the yellow door.

00:35:35Look, I'm sure that man is going to buy you a dead cat.

00:35:38So here.

00:35:39Here's your fee in advance.

00:35:40Fifty dollars.

00:35:41And if you need more, I've got it.

00:35:43So don't worry.

00:35:43I've got great faith in you, Walter.

00:35:47Gee, fifty dollars for something I made.

00:35:50Now you're a professional.

00:35:52Let's go.

00:35:53Okay.

00:35:55Good night, Walter.

00:35:57Keep up the good work.

00:35:59Yeah, but don't rush things.

00:36:01You've got all the time in the world.

00:36:03Come on, Carla.

00:36:05Good night.

00:36:06Good night.

00:36:13Are you our Walter?

00:36:18I'm an artist, Mr. Swicker.

00:36:20Yeah.

00:36:21Oh, sure you are Walter.

00:36:22I am.

00:36:24Look.

00:36:25Look.

00:36:29Good night.

00:36:30One of the greatest advances in modern poetry is the elimination of clerics.

00:36:51I am proud to say my poetry is only understood by that minority which is aware.

00:36:55Well, ask what?

00:36:57We're not of anything stupid, just aware.

00:37:01Man, this place is beginning to feel like a lineup.

00:37:05Yeah, baby.

00:37:06But don't call out pretty soon.

00:37:08I'm going to haunt somebody else's joint.

00:37:10We may have to start drinking.

00:37:12Sylvia, didn't you see me wave my Zen stick?

00:37:42Thanks, Walter Paisley.

00:37:43Bring me a cappuccino and a piece of papaya cheesecake.

00:37:46And a bottle of Yugoslavian white wine.

00:37:49Yes, sir, Mr. Paisley.

00:37:50Good evening, Walter.

00:37:51Maxwell, how have you been?

00:37:53I see the rewards of achievement have come your way.

00:37:56Well, after all, I'm a successful sculptor now.

00:37:59Indeed.

00:38:01Oh, man, dig Walter the wigger.

00:38:04It's coming out like you just cured cats.

00:38:06Let us make the scene.

00:38:09Crazy.

00:38:09I was just suggesting to Walter that he try his hand at fleek warm.

00:38:13Why do you suggest anything to Walter?

00:38:15Are you the spokesman for society come to put your stifling finger in his eye?

00:38:20Good evening, gentlemen.

00:38:21Oh, now, who invited these two down from the clouds?

00:38:24Maxwell.

00:38:25Yoo-hoo.

00:38:26To the table.

00:38:26Bring a bowl.

00:38:27I may be sick.

00:38:28It's Alice the Awful.

00:38:29Comes to spread cheer and color.

00:38:32Look at my suntan, everybody.

00:38:34Do we have to...

00:38:35Where have you been, Alice?

00:38:37I went up to Big Sur to look for Henry Miller.

00:38:39You didn't find him, I hope.

00:38:40No, he's in Europe.

00:38:41Good.

00:38:42Why is the busboy sitting here?

00:38:45I'm not the busboy anymore.

00:38:47That's right.

00:38:48Walter has become a sculptor.

00:38:50Oh, really?

00:38:51I'm a model, you know.

00:38:53I only charge $25 an hour.

00:38:56Would you like to do me?

00:38:58I just might.

00:39:00Never mind that.

00:39:01Walter's going to try freeform.

00:39:02There you go again.

00:39:04I may take my business to the sorrow sewer.

00:39:06As a matter of fact, I was going to suggest to Walter that he try a female figure.

00:39:11As a change from the violent death theme.

00:39:14He really should, Walter.

00:39:15You know what?

00:39:17If you like, I'll be your model for free.

00:39:19I couldn't.

00:39:21Like you.

00:39:22Man, if you're going to be an artist, you've got to do noobs and noobs.

00:39:26Right, right, right.

00:39:28Ain't nobody an artist unless he does noobs.

00:39:33Will you get them out of here before we wind up in nightcoats?

00:39:36Oh, let's change the subject.

00:39:37I'm sick of hearing about sculpture.

00:39:39Nobody knows how to do that anymore.

00:39:40Much less the busboy from the yellow door.

00:39:43Who do you think you're talking about?

00:39:45Don't shout at me.

00:39:47I don't like you.

00:39:50Nobody asked for your opinion, Walter.

00:39:52You're just a simple little farm boy and the rest of us are all sophisticated beignets.

00:39:57That's all, man.

00:39:58Let's split.

00:40:00Yeah, man.

00:40:03I got to make me some air.

00:40:06You made them leave.

00:40:08What did I do?

00:40:09The first beneficial service of your benighted life.

00:40:12It proves we're all good for something.

00:40:14Are you saying that this busboy is better than I?

00:40:17Yes.

00:40:18I think this whole bit about him being a sculptor is just a big put-on for my benefit.

00:40:22That's not true.

00:40:23I am a sculptor.

00:40:24Oh, yeah?

00:40:26Prove it.

00:40:27Make something out of this.

00:40:29There.

00:40:29Hand.

00:40:31That isn't a real hand.

00:40:33If you were a sculptor, you'd create something for me.

00:40:36A spoon would be very nice.

00:40:38I'm going home.

00:40:42Alan?

00:40:44You're obnoxious.

00:40:46But he's such an idiot.

00:40:47He'll be quiteinnen.

00:41:01You're a sculptor.

00:41:10I'm going home.

00:41:15Yes, what are you doing here?

00:41:35I wanted to apologize for being nasty to you this evening.

00:41:38So you're apologized.

00:41:40Good night.

00:41:45Listen, Torf, why don't you get out of here and let me go to bed?

00:41:52I didn't finish talking to you.

00:41:54I decided to make a female figure after all.

00:41:57Oh?

00:41:58I'd like you to pose for it.

00:42:00Remember what I said about my price?

00:42:02$25 an hour.

00:42:04If you want to pay it, I don't mind posing.

00:42:06When do you want to start work?

00:42:08Tonight.

00:42:10You mean right now?

00:42:11Uh-huh.

00:42:13Wait till I get my sweater.

00:42:15I don't know.

00:42:42We could use a little more heat around this place.

00:42:52It's bad for the clay.

00:42:54You'll get used to it.

00:43:00Well, I'm almost ready.

00:43:06Here.

00:43:08Sit in this chair and I'll pose you.

00:43:12It's kind of rickety.

00:43:23How's this pose?

00:43:25Well, that's fine.

00:43:26It's very good.

00:43:29It'll stay like that.

00:43:31It doesn't look like very much clay.

00:43:34Oh, it's enough.

00:43:37Put this around your neck.

00:43:42Watch it.

00:44:03The place got it.

00:44:04Are these fertile eggs?

00:44:06Are these eggs fertile?

00:44:08Naturally.

00:44:08What did you try them in?

00:44:10We ran out of the sassflower seed oil, but I found a bottle of peanut oil on the shelf.

00:44:15Don't worry.

00:44:15It's not hard to change.

00:44:17Is that the cold-crest stuff or the junk Hildebuck by mistake?

00:44:19Yes, man, yes.

00:44:24Hi.

00:44:24Good morning, all of us.

00:44:25Hi, Walter.

00:44:26What brings you here?

00:44:27Have some breakfast, man.

00:44:28What do you have in?

00:44:29Soy and wheat germ pancakes, organic guava nectar, calcium lactate and tomato juice, and garbanzo

00:44:35omelette sprinkled with smoked yeast.

00:44:38Join us?

00:44:38No, thanks.

00:44:39Sounds great, though.

00:44:41I brought something to show you.

00:44:43Could I have some of the guys help me?

00:44:44Is it better, man?

00:44:45It's better.

00:44:46Come on.

00:44:47Porter!

00:44:54Put it in the middle of the room.

00:44:56When did you do this, Walter?

00:44:57Last night.

00:44:58It doesn't take me very long.

00:45:00I should say not.

00:45:01Well, let's see it, man.

00:45:14Walter, I can't believe it.

00:45:21I'm honored to know this man.

00:45:23Do you think it's nice?

00:45:24Hey, she's beautiful.

00:45:26Do you think it's nicer than murdered men?

00:45:27Oh, I don't know, Walter.

00:45:28It's impossible to choose.

00:45:30They're both great.

00:45:32Walter, I'm deeply moved.

00:45:34Show my appreciation.

00:45:35I'm going to give a party tonight at the yellow door.

00:45:37In your honor.

00:45:38And I shall compose a poem.

00:45:44Some more champagne, your majesty?

00:45:58Yeah, yeah.

00:45:59Where, where?

00:46:00There, there.

00:46:03That's mine.

00:46:04I'm going to sell them out a little kiss.

00:46:07Walter, you're a wretch.

00:46:09I am.

00:46:09There, there.

00:46:14There, there.

00:46:23All right.

00:46:24All right.

00:46:25Walter.

00:46:27The bird that flies now pays later through the nose of Amadextra's apathy.

00:46:33Necrophiles may dance upon the placemats in an orgy of togetherness.

00:46:36The highway of life cuts sharply through the shady ghettos and the ivy-covered tombs, and

00:46:43laughter rings from every time capsule in the star-spangled firmament.

00:46:47And in the deep freeze, it is the children's hour.

00:46:51And no one knows that Duncan is murdered.

00:46:54And no one knows that Walter Paisley is born.

00:46:59Duncan knows.

00:47:01Tuesday sunrise knows.

00:47:02Alley cats and garbage cans and steaming pavements, and you and I, and the nude descending the staircase, and all such things with phones.

00:47:12We know that Walter Paisley is born.

00:47:16Ring rubber bells, beat cotton gongs, strike silken cymbals, play leathern flutes.

00:47:22The cats and cans and you and I, and all such things with souls.

00:47:27We shall hear, Walter Paisley is born, and the souls become flesh.

00:47:34Walter Paisley is born.

00:47:36Marvelous, darling, marvelous.

00:47:49Lance, like that was the greatest gas I ever heard.

00:47:52Crazy, what did he say?

00:47:54Didn't you hear him?

00:47:55No, man, I'm too far out.

00:48:03Maxwell, that was magnificent.

00:48:04I feel so elegant.

00:48:08Walter deserved every word of it.

00:48:09Makes me so glad I'm aware.

00:48:13Did you hear what he said?

00:48:15Yes, Walter.

00:48:17All about me.

00:48:20It's true, isn't it?

00:48:22Every word.

00:48:26You better hold off on the bubbly, artist.

00:48:29Now why?

00:48:31We might talk too much.

00:48:33Well, what would I say?

00:48:35Well, stay to the high school.

00:48:37Are you two trying to ignore the rest of us?

00:48:39Oh, not me, Maxwell.

00:48:41I wouldn't ignore you.

00:48:43I know what it is to be ignored.

00:48:46Tell us what you're going to do next, Walter.

00:48:48I'm going to make the most wonderful, wildest, wicked things you've ever seen.

00:48:53I'm going to make big statues and little statues, tall statues and short statues.

00:48:59I'm going to make statues of nobodies and statues of famous people, statues of actors and poets

00:49:09and people who sell things on television

00:49:12and a statue of the mayor

00:49:14and some opera singers and their intimate friends.

00:49:18And everybody will say, Walter, let me shake your hand.

00:49:23It's been a real pleasure to have known you.

00:49:25Alley cats and garbage cans, they know that Walter Paisley is born.

00:49:37Ring ruffle bells, speak cotton gowns, strike silken symbols, play letters blues.

00:49:44Tell us what you're going to do next, Walter.

00:49:50I'm going to make big statues and little statues, movie stars and poets

00:49:57and guys who sell things on television

00:49:59and the mayor and some opera.

00:50:06Tell us what you're going to do next, Walter.

00:50:11What am I going to do next?

00:50:14What am I going to do next?

00:50:19I've got to do something before they forget.

00:50:25I know what it's like to be ignored.

00:50:40Who are you? What do you want?

00:50:42Life is an obscure hobo,

00:50:43Bumming a ride, honey.

00:50:44I'll never survive.

00:50:46Huh? What did you say?

00:50:47Well, it's not creation. It's graham crackers.

00:50:49Let them all crumble to feed the creator.

00:50:51Oh, baby, you must be nuts.

00:50:53No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

00:51:23Oh, Leonard. Beautiful morning, isn't it?

00:51:28Was.

00:51:30What's that you got in the box?

00:51:31Just wait a minute. See this.

00:51:34Extra, extra. Horrible murder and friendship factory.

00:51:38Read about the man who got cut in half.

00:51:42Extra, extra. Police can only fight part of it.

00:51:45Leonard.

00:51:46He's all about it.

00:51:50What's the matter, Leonard?

00:51:53You made a bust.

00:51:57Yeah, isn't it wonderful?

00:52:00What's the matter, Leonard?

00:52:01Put it down, Walter, please.

00:52:09Walter.

00:52:10Walter, listen to me carefully.

00:52:13I don't want you to make any more statues.

00:52:16You understand? No more statues.

00:52:18Why not?

00:52:19I gotta make statues, Leonard.

00:52:21You heard Brock. They want me to make them.

00:52:23If I stop making them up, I'll just be a bust boy again.

00:52:26Brock, he's behind all of this and this stupid, bitter poetry.

00:52:30Listen, you've got to stop it right away.

00:52:33I'm beginning to feel responsible.

00:52:35Why?

00:52:36What did you do?

00:52:38Never mind.

00:52:38Walter, Walter.

00:52:40Walter, I've decided to have that show for you, by the way.

00:52:45If, when Carla comes, we'll have her work up some nice invitations.

00:52:49We'll have them printed up.

00:52:51We'll invite the critics and the art collectors.

00:52:54We'll tell them.

00:52:55Well, I don't see why we can't go.

00:53:02Mr. Leonard DeSantis is afraid to have you come.

00:53:05You who buy his coffee, lure his tourists.

00:53:07You are the heart and soul and meat of the yellow door.

00:53:10He slighted you.

00:53:11Did you get an invitation?

00:53:14I did not.

00:53:15But I'm going anyway.

00:53:16Not to drink his champagne, but to see Walter's triumph.

00:53:20After that, we go no more.

00:53:22It's time, Maxwell.

00:53:23I won't say good luck, Walter.

00:53:25Why not?

00:53:26It would imply you could not succeed on your ability alone.

00:53:29Do you look so handsome?

00:53:35I do.

00:53:36So do you.

00:53:37I mean, you look so pretty.

00:53:40Are you ready?

00:53:42Oh, we've got plenty of time.

00:53:43I know, but I wanted to talk to you.

00:53:45Okay.

00:53:46We can go now if you like.

00:53:48Bye.

00:53:51Later, man.

00:53:52Later.

00:53:53Swing.

00:53:54Man, why do you suppose Walter wants to get her alone?

00:53:57Do you suppose he could be physically attracted to her?

00:54:01No, man.

00:54:01He ain't the type.

00:54:02You don't get enough vitamin to eat.

00:54:05Maxwell gave him a bottle of wheat germ oil once.

00:54:08Maybe he just started taking it.

00:54:18What did you want to talk to me about, Walter?

00:54:20Well, what kind of people do you like, Carla?

00:54:25Oh, thinking people.

00:54:27Artistic people, I guess.

00:54:30You think I'm artistic.

00:54:32Of course I do.

00:54:33That means you like me.

00:54:34I like you very much, Walter.

00:54:36I thought you did.

00:54:38I can't have you kissed me the other night.

00:54:41Oh, that was for your sculptor of the girl.

00:54:44You're nude in the chair.

00:54:45Carla, I've been alone for a long time,

00:54:49and I know you've been alone,

00:54:50because you never seem to go out with anybody,

00:54:52even though Leonard's always asking you to go out with him,

00:54:54and I just...

00:54:56What are you trying to say?

00:55:06Carla?

00:55:07I don't want to make statues anymore.

00:55:11I want to get married to you.

00:55:18How long have you been thinking about this, Walter?

00:55:21Oh, for a long time.

00:55:23Ever since you first came to work at the club.

00:55:26You were the only one who was ever nice to me.

00:55:28I didn't know you loved me until you kissed me.

00:55:34Walter, I do like you.

00:55:37And I did kiss you.

00:55:40But that was because of your work.

00:55:45There's more to being in love with someone than just that.

00:55:50You mean you don't love me?

00:55:52I'm afraid that's what I mean.

00:55:58But...

00:55:58But you've got to love me.

00:56:01Why do you think I made that Statue of Alice?

00:56:04Walter, I'm sorry.

00:56:06You just can't be sorry.

00:56:08I want to marry you.

00:56:10Now, calm down, Walter,

00:56:11and let's go in there,

00:56:12and then maybe when the show's over,

00:56:15we can talk about it.

00:56:16Well, I want to talk about it.

00:56:20I get it.

00:56:22I see the whole thing now.

00:56:26Nobody knows that Walter Paisley is born.

00:56:31Carla.

00:56:35Will you do one favor for me?

00:56:38Just about anything, Walter.

00:56:42Would you let me make a statue of you?

00:56:46Would you really like this?

00:56:49That'd make me very happy.

00:56:51Okay.

00:56:52Tonight.

00:56:56I'll make a statue of you tonight.

00:56:58Okay?

00:57:04Come on.

00:57:05Come on.

00:57:22Doctor?

00:57:36No, thanks.

00:57:38This could bring about a return to realism.

00:57:41Yes, a one-man return.

00:57:43We have many artists about, but no craftsman.

00:57:47This man knows his anatomy.

00:57:49I'd give $1,500 for this.

00:57:51After you read my review, it'll probably cost you $5,000.

00:57:58So what's the trouble?

00:58:01Why should you be so depressed?

00:58:03Have you heard the things they're saying?

00:58:05You can make $25,000 on these pieces alone.

00:58:08I thought you put money down.

00:58:09I do, but $25,000?

00:58:12Leave me alone.

00:58:21Oh, man, we have come to make the scene.

00:58:29What's some cappuccino, man?

00:58:30We got the bread.

00:58:31We're not open for business.

00:58:32This is an art exhibit.

00:58:33No bumps.

00:58:34Got it.

00:58:34That art is a bum, man.

00:58:36And he's sober.

00:58:37Yeah, well, that's his problem, man.

00:58:39All right, man.

00:58:39All right.

00:58:39We'll wait outside.

00:58:40Yeah, you wait outside.

00:59:11Where are you going, Carla?

00:59:16What's the matter?

00:59:18Walter, there's a body inside that statue.

00:59:22Oh, that's Alice.

00:59:25It's all right, Carla.

00:59:27Maxwell says it's all right.

00:59:30Let them become clay in his hands that he might mold them.

00:59:33Walter, you stay away from me.

00:59:37Don't you see, Carla?

00:59:39I made them immortal.

00:59:40Don't you see, I can do the same for you.

00:59:42Yeah.

00:59:42Don't you see, Carla?

00:59:45Don't you see, Carla?

00:59:47Don't you see, Carla?

00:59:50Don't you see, Carla?

00:59:55Don't you see, Carla?

00:59:56Call Valdez, have him set some cards.

01:00:14I'm going at the taser.

01:00:15I'm going with you.

01:00:17Hey, man, what is the score?

01:00:18Walter King.

01:00:19He's a murderer.

01:00:20Wow.

01:00:20Man, I saw him chasing Carla down the street.

01:00:26He's a murderer.

01:00:56What was that?

01:01:15Nobody knows I'm here.

01:01:17Walter.

01:01:20No.

01:01:22He couldn't be alone.

01:01:23They're dead.

01:01:26How could they know?

01:01:30Did you see him?

01:01:32He's hiding around here someplace.

01:01:34He can't hide just because we're in clay and he isn't.

01:01:37Walter, go home.

01:01:49He won't know where else to go.

01:01:53Walter, go home.

01:01:58Where is he?

01:01:59Walter, go home.
