00:00:09You
00:00:30Come to bed.
00:00:32Er, I'll be right there, love.
00:00:35Just putting the kitten in her basket.
00:00:40Leave the door open so she can get to the litter.
00:00:45Good night, Fluffle.
00:01:02It's tonight. Are you coming?
00:01:05Should be amusing, if nothing else.
00:01:07I can't get out.
00:01:09All the wall openings are closed.
00:01:12No, not all of them. Not there.
00:01:15The clear hole is partly opened.
00:01:16You can get out through there.
00:01:35Take your tail, little one. We mustn't miss this.
00:01:57Good jump. You just have to work on the landing.
00:02:00Come on. The night won't wait.
00:02:07What will she be like?
00:02:09Who knows? Not this cat.
00:02:16Well met, fellow night threaders.
00:02:18Hello. We're going to see her.
00:02:21Me too. Although, I can't see much point to it.
00:02:26Then why are you here?
00:02:28Hmm. Curiosity, perhaps?
00:02:34I want to hear what she has to say.
00:02:38So do we all, child. So do we all.
00:03:03Where is she?
00:03:05Where is she?
00:03:06Where is she?
00:03:20Where is she?
00:03:21Sisters, brothers, good hunting.
00:03:24Some of you have traveled far to hear my message today.
00:03:28Left your warm, comfortable places.
00:03:31And I hope, when I have finished, you will all share my dream.
00:03:37I was not always as you see me today.
00:03:44Once, like many of you, I lived in their world.
00:03:48And like you, I fooled myself.
00:03:53Oh, they fed me and gave me comfort.
00:03:56They served me.
00:03:58All they asked in return was my affection.
00:04:01No price at all, really.
00:04:27He was strong and fast.
00:04:30His claws and teeth were sharp as winter.
00:04:35He was my choice of lover.
00:04:38I never saw him again.
00:04:40But I did not forget him.
00:04:43I didn't remember my own mother, but I vowed I would be different.
00:04:47I would teach them how to wash, how to stalk silently, how to hunt.
00:04:53You knew she was in heat.
00:04:56Why didn't you keep her inside?
00:04:58I think they're kind of cute.
00:05:00Cute?
00:05:01She's a purebred registered blue point.
00:05:03He's a half-breed.
00:05:05They're not worth anything.
00:05:16What are you going to do with them?
00:05:18Don't worry.
00:05:19I'll take care of it.
00:05:23Paul!
00:05:49I felt them from afar in the dark as the cold water took them.
00:05:57Felt them thrash and claw sightlessly.
00:06:01Felt them call to me in their fear.
00:06:04And then they were gone.
00:06:14For God's sake, it's not as if she understands.
00:06:18I mean, look at her.
00:06:19She's probably relieved.
00:06:22Who'd want four screaming brats around?
00:06:25You're probably right.
00:06:28I just feel guilty.
00:06:31I knew then that I had lied to myself.
00:06:33That we were subordinate.
00:06:36While we lived with humanity, we could not call ourselves free.
00:06:40And so, I prayed.
00:06:43I prayed to the darkness, to the night.
00:06:46I prayed to the king of cats.
00:06:48He who walks amongst us.
00:06:50And we do not know him.
00:06:51And...
00:06:53I dreamed.
00:06:57I dreamed.
00:07:13I wanted to be a man of a girl who's in the dark.
00:07:14Why do you have to come here, little cat?
00:07:16To the heart of the dreaming.
00:07:18There is nothing here for you.
00:07:20I have come for justice.
00:07:22For revelation.
00:07:24For wisdom.
00:07:25Justice is a delusion.
00:07:28And wisdom has no place here either.
00:07:30but revelation that is the province of dream if your heart is strong and you are not afraid
00:07:39i am afraid of nothing in the mountain there is a cave you'll find him there but the way
00:07:46is hard a little cat could come to much harm if she strays from the path cats walk their own
00:07:56paths
00:08:07i walked through the wood of ghosts where the dead and lost whispered to me
00:08:15i heard my children calling me but i walked forward
00:08:28i walked through the cold places where every step was pain every movement torment
00:08:35i walked through the wetness that numb my paws drenched my fur
00:08:41but still i walked forward
00:08:47i walked through the darkness through the void where everything was sucked from me
00:08:52everything that makes me what i am and even when i no longer knew why
00:08:58i walked forward
00:09:01after a time myself returned to me and i found myself at the mountain
00:09:08i have come to see the cat of dreams
00:09:12why should we let you in
00:09:15why should he be disturbed for one such as you
00:09:20a small mouthful of fair and bone barely a cat
00:09:28i've come too far to be turned away
00:09:31i will state my business to the one i came to see and only to him
00:09:35i am a cat i keep my own counsel
00:09:41enter then proud cat but be warned dreams have a price
00:09:54and i walked on
00:10:15i am here
00:10:17and who are you
00:10:21a cat a walker in the night places
00:10:24a dead crow sent me here for revelation
00:10:28i want to know
00:10:30why could they take my children from me
00:10:33why do we live as we do
00:10:36i don't understand
00:10:45a cat may look at a king or so they say
00:10:47look into my eyes then little sister
00:10:50look into my eyes
00:11:02and in his eyes
00:11:04i saw everything
00:11:05i saw the truth
00:11:07our truth
00:11:08and it transcended anything i had imagined
00:11:13many many seasons ago
00:11:16cats truly ruled this world
00:11:18we were larger than
00:11:20everything made for us
00:11:23humans were tiny creatures
00:11:25no larger than we are now
00:11:27they would groom us
00:11:30feed us
00:11:32when the moon shone full
00:11:33we would hunt them
00:11:37for they were more delightful to catch than even birds
00:11:42oh the joy of those days i saw in his eyes
00:11:45the game of cat and man
00:11:51and then
00:11:52one of the humans rose amongst them
00:11:56inspired by a dream he told them
00:11:59dreams shape the world
00:12:02dreams create the world anew every night
00:12:05do not do not dream the world the way it is now
00:12:08dream of a new world
00:12:10a world where we are no longer hunted
00:12:13no longer prey
00:12:14a world we rule
00:12:17if enough of us dream it
00:12:18it will happen
00:12:21dreams shape the world
00:12:26words spread amongst the humans
00:12:29but for a while nothing happened
00:12:33but then
00:12:34one night
00:12:35enough of them dreamed
00:12:37it wasn't many
00:12:39a thousand perhaps
00:12:40no more
00:12:40they dreamed
00:12:42and the next day
00:12:44things change
00:12:47we were prey to them
00:12:49to dogs
00:12:50their metal machines
00:12:51we were tiny
00:12:52and they were huge
00:12:55so they changed the world
00:12:56made it like it is now
00:12:58not exactly
00:13:00they dreamed the world
00:13:02so it was always the way it is now
00:13:03there was never a world where cats were in
00:13:06they changed it
00:13:07from beginning of all things
00:13:09to the end of time
00:13:10it was ever thus
00:13:13do you understand now
00:13:14yes
00:13:16yes i do
00:13:17then you know what your task must be
00:13:19the burden you must bear
00:13:22are you strong enough
00:13:23yes
00:13:24i
00:13:26i hope so
00:13:28then wake child
00:13:30with my blessing
00:13:40you see
00:13:42i had seen the soft underbelly of what he had shown me
00:13:47i left that night to spread the good news
00:13:50and now i travel from place to place
00:13:53i have preached to feral cats in empty places
00:13:57shouting my message to the stars
00:14:00i have whispered it to cats in alleyways
00:14:03and wherever i have gone
00:14:05my message is the same
00:14:08dream it
00:14:09if enough of us dream
00:14:11a bare thousand
00:14:12we can dream a world where no cat suffers
00:14:15where no kittens die cold and alone
00:14:18where all cats are queens and kings of creation
00:14:21that is my message
00:14:28and i shall keep moving
00:14:29repeating it until i die
00:14:32or until a thousand cats hear my words
00:14:35and believe them and dream
00:14:40and we come again
00:14:42and we come again
00:14:43to paradise
00:14:54mistress

00:15:01child
00:15:16well she was amusing at least
00:15:18i'll say that for her
00:15:19do you think it will happen
00:15:21like she said
00:15:23i'd like to see anyone
00:15:25prophet god or king
00:15:26persuade a thousand cats to do anything at the same time
00:15:32the sun will rise soon
00:15:35let's get you home little one
00:15:40oh look she's still asleep
00:15:45i think she's dreaming
00:15:48i wonder what cats dream about
00:15:50the way she's twitching
00:15:52she's probably hunting something
00:15:53oh look at her
00:15:55isn't that cute
00:15:57it is
00:15:58it's really cute
00:16:11you can't force a character to do something
00:16:14just because it's easier
00:16:15for you as a writer
00:16:17character has to come first
00:16:22everything else follows
00:16:23every plot twist
00:16:27every line of dialogue
00:16:31every fraught meaningful silence
00:16:37any questions
00:16:38yeah
00:16:40could you tell us a bit about your process
00:16:44do you have any advice for those of us who are just starting out
00:16:47and finding it difficult to
00:16:49not hate every single thing i write
00:16:54i am sad to report that i've been doing this for a very long time
00:16:59and
00:17:02it doesn't get any easier
00:17:05but try not to be discouraged when it is difficult
00:17:08my debut novel was rejected by seven publishers before it became a bestseller
00:17:13so
00:17:18right
00:17:19that's it for today
00:17:21oh don't forget the assignment
00:17:22the same event told from two characters
00:17:25very different
00:17:26points of view
00:17:35did you get it
00:17:36took some doing
00:17:37but

00:17:48thank you
00:17:50you're welcome
00:17:52i think it's admirable
00:17:54how far a writer like you will go when it comes to research
00:17:57ah well
00:17:58it's handy to know a soon-to-be doctor
00:18:02i actually wanted to be a writer
00:18:04but my parents insisted i have something to fall back on
00:18:08i still write
00:18:09when i have time
00:18:10your parents are very wise

00:18:58is it a sequel
00:19:01or
00:19:02something new
00:19:04that would be telling
00:19:13you
00:19:17you
00:19:18you
00:19:35Who is it?
00:19:37Richard Maddox, to see Erasmus Fry.
00:19:41Bobby, stream down.
00:19:50Are you alone?
00:19:54It's just me. I've got it.
00:19:56Well then, come in, dear boy. Come in.
00:20:15How are you, Richard?
00:20:18Have you written anything profound and stirring recently?
00:20:24You know I haven't, Mr Fry.
00:20:27No.
00:20:29I haven't written a single word in a year.
00:20:32Nothing I haven't thrown away.
00:20:34Then I suggest you sit down, have a drink, and show me my present.
00:20:38Not necessarily in that order.
00:20:41Yeah.
00:20:56Oh, well done, dear boy.
00:21:00Oh.
00:21:02A genuine...
00:21:04Trikino Berzua.
00:21:06Do you know about these?
00:21:09They're generally removed from the stomachs of young women,
00:21:12who are in the habit of ingesting their own hair.
00:21:17The Rapunzel syndrome, it's called.
00:21:20The Rapunzel.
00:21:20The Rapunzel was for once believed to possess mystic powers.
00:21:25They can remedy poison, make the sick well.
00:21:29Edward IV survived the effects of a poisoned wound,
00:21:32due solely to the possession of a Bezor.
00:21:37Yes, I see, I'm lecturing again.
00:21:41An old writer with no one to talk to grows fond of the sound of his own voice.
00:21:48But I suppose you'd like your present now.
00:21:56I was twenty-seven, visiting Mount Helicon,
00:22:00researching yet another novel I was sure to abandon.
00:22:04This one steeped in Greek mythology,
00:22:06and while I was there, I discovered a trove of ancient texts
00:22:10about the muses and how to control them using moly,
00:22:16sorcerers' garlic and certain lost rituals.
00:22:21The hardest part was getting her back to England.
00:22:55What would you with me now, Erasmus?
00:22:58Am I to perform for your amusement?
00:23:02Is this man to be our audience?
00:23:06This is Richard Maddock.
00:23:08He's a novelist,
00:23:10or at least he's written one extremely successful first novel,
00:23:13but now he finds himself quite unable to write anything else.
00:23:18Richard, this is Calliope,
00:23:20the youngest of the nine sisters.
00:23:22She was Homer's muse,
00:23:24so she ought to be good enough for you.
00:23:27Calliope, I'm giving you to Richard.
00:23:30You're his now.
00:23:33But you said that you would free me before you died.
00:23:37Put not your trust in princes, my dear,
00:23:40nor in an ageing author who has never been
00:23:43what you might call a shining example
00:23:45when it came to keeping his word.
00:23:50But you promised.
00:23:52Writers are liars, my dear.
00:23:55Surely you've realized that by now.
00:24:03Don't worry, she can't run away.
00:24:05She's bound to you now,
00:24:08just as she was once bound to me.
00:24:10Then why keep her locked away?
00:24:12Because I couldn't bear to look at that
00:24:14pouty, aggrieved little face of hers all day.
00:24:18And neither will you, I assure you.
00:24:22I don't know if I can do this.
00:24:24Of course you can, dear boy.
00:24:38They say one ought to woo her kind.
00:24:42But I must say I found force most efficacious.
00:24:52Now don't be fooled.
00:24:54She's not human.
00:24:55She's thousands of years old.
00:24:58She was created for this.
00:24:59This is her purpose.
00:25:00To inspire men like us.
00:25:03After all, she gave me fame, glory, novels, poems, plays.
00:25:12You'll see.
00:25:14If that's true, why would you?
00:25:16My time is past.
00:25:19All my best work is out of print.
00:25:21Even muse inspired.
00:25:25Nobody reads Erasmus Fry anymore.
00:25:29Now take the little cow away, you'll shit.
00:25:31I never want to see either of you again.
00:25:37However, if you ever happen to feel a spark of gratitude,
00:25:41you might persuade your publisher to bring
00:25:44Here Comes a Candle back into print.
00:25:48I was particularly proud of that one.
00:26:05Where did you come from?
00:26:07What is this?
00:26:07I think this is the miracle.
00:26:07I don't even know about that.
00:26:08I can't wait till I'm just praying for you.
00:26:08There's no way.
00:26:08You can't wait till I'm just praying for you.
00:26:14To get the heart out.
00:26:21I can't wait till you say.
00:26:26You can't wait till you know your terminus.
00:26:28No man, do you care?
00:26:33I, uh, I just need time to think about what to do.
00:26:41What is there to think about?
00:26:45I'm a goddess, a daughter of Zeus.
00:26:50I am not a possession to be kept and used and traded.
00:26:58You must set me free.
00:27:00You have only to say the words.
00:27:02I will, I promise.
00:27:04But, um, do you think you could help me first?
00:27:15Inspire me?
00:27:18Just for one book and then I will let you go.
00:27:21I swear I will.
00:27:22Well, writers are liars.
00:27:28Not all of us.
00:27:31Just one book.
00:27:37Please.
00:27:44I choose with whom I share my gifts.
00:27:50Perhaps we both need time to think.
00:27:54E.
00:28:13I don't know.
00:28:13I want.
00:29:43And saw how in this grave area, when nothing was quite clear, no one could be clear.
00:29:52We can't articulate.
00:29:55Fodd my words.
00:29:57We couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was he did that we felt was so wrong.
00:30:00So yeah, Borky is crazy.
00:30:16You seek to woo me with presents?
00:30:22Is this not how it's done?
00:30:24I think you know how it is done.
00:30:29An artist prays to the muses.
00:30:34He offers vows of service and devotion to the goddesses in exchange for divine inspiration.
00:30:40An artist does not hold a muse against her will.
00:30:44You gave Erasmus Frye what he wanted.
00:30:46I did not.
00:30:49He took it from me.
00:30:57I had returned to Mount Helicon, to the sacred springs.
00:31:03I lay my scroll upon the shore, and I went bathing, as I had always done.
00:31:11He found it there.
00:31:13He read it, and said, Calliope, you may call me Master.
00:31:22And then he burned my scroll, which bound me to him and now to you, unless you say the words,
00:31:30that I may be as free as you are.
00:31:32You think I'm free?
00:31:38I got the advance for this book two years ago.
00:31:40I haven't even started it yet.
00:31:42I don't even know what it's about.
00:31:48I'm drowning, Calliope.
00:31:50Calliope.
00:31:56Please.
00:31:58I am begging you.
00:32:02Ask me again when I am free.
00:32:42You better be fucking writing.
00:32:44I would be if you weren't calling to harass me.
00:32:48Your publishers just called to harass me.
00:32:51They want the book now.
00:32:54I just need a couple of weeks.
00:32:55Ricky, it's nine months overdue.
00:32:59You're technically in breach.
00:33:01I don't know what they want me to do, Harry.
00:33:03These things take time.
00:33:04Ricky, you've had time.
00:33:06You've taken your time.
00:33:07You've also taken their money.
00:33:10I know.
00:33:12Now, you have to give them something.
00:33:15Anything, a chapter.
00:33:17Or they're going to cancel the deal and demand the advance back.
00:33:20And there won't be anything I can do.
00:33:23Because you'll no longer be my client.
00:33:27Do you understand?
00:33:31Don't be fooled.
00:33:33She's not human.
00:33:34She's thousands of years old.
00:33:37She was created for this.
00:33:39This is her purpose.
00:33:40To inspire men like us.
00:33:46You're birch.
00:33:48Say something so I know you understand.
00:33:51I understand.
00:33:55I'll send you something.
00:34:17I don't know what to do.
00:34:18Can I pick?
00:34:57Gracious ladies, mother of the Kamen, hear my prayer.
00:35:03It is I, your daughter, Calliope, that calls you to deliver me from this place.
00:35:12Ladies of meditation, remembrance, and song.
00:35:19Hark into me.
00:35:20All right.
00:35:22Enough beautiful voice.
00:35:31We feel your pain, daughter, but we cannot help you.
00:35:34You were snared upon Helicon according to the mysteries.
00:35:36You are lawfully bound.
00:35:39But it is not just my mother's.
00:35:42Is there nothing you can do?
00:35:44No one who can intercede on my behalf?
00:35:47There are a few of the old powers who are willing or able to meddle in mortal affairs in these
00:35:52days, Calliope.
00:35:52Many gods have died, my daughter.
00:35:55Only the Endless never fade.
00:35:57And even they have been having a difficult time of late.
00:36:03Still, every little bit helps, as the old woman said when she pissed in the sea.
00:36:09The Endless, there's a thought. After all, the dream king and Calliope were close at one point.
00:36:17Not for long.
00:36:18And remember, sister self, they did not part on the best of terms.
00:36:22Still, she did bear his cup.
00:36:27That boy child who went to Hades for his lady love and died in Thrace, torn apart for his sacrilege.
00:36:35He had a beautiful voice too.
00:36:40Orpheus.
00:36:40Dream king will never help me.
00:36:44Not after what I did to him.
00:36:46He hates me for that.
00:36:48And I despise him.
00:36:51I would not accept his help.
00:36:52Foolish child.
00:36:54Onerus is in no position to help you, even if you wished it.
00:36:58Which is unlikely.
00:37:00Like you, your former husband has been ensnared by mortals.
00:37:03He is immured beneath the ground.
00:37:06Leaving this realm gripped by sleeping sickness.
00:37:09And a plague of dreams and nightmares wreaking havoc.
00:37:12I am sorry, little one.
00:37:16No.
00:37:17Your prayers were wasted.
00:37:20There's nothing we can do for you.
00:37:23Please.
00:37:24And nothing you can do but hope.
00:37:28Please don't leave me here.
00:37:32I beg of you.
00:37:39We've got a nice little bidding war on our hands.
00:37:43Every major studio wants a piece of him.
00:37:45Film.
00:37:47Broadcast.
00:37:48Streaming.
00:37:48Er, who's the frontrunner?
00:37:50Whoever lets him write and direct.
00:37:53They won't even let Joe Rowley write and direct.
00:37:56Joe Rowley needs a new agent.
00:37:57Tell her to call me.
00:37:59I will never understand how a work of genre fiction came to be nominated, let alone shortlisted.
00:38:05The committee felt not his new book has transcended genre.
00:38:09Have you read it?
00:38:10No.
00:38:11Of course not.
00:38:12No, I have.
00:38:14And the reason I can have written by an entirely different man.
00:38:17It's a gorgeous book.
00:38:20Quite remarkable.
00:38:22I mean the sheer richness of the material.
00:38:24Yes.
00:38:25Why is he going to change his name?
00:38:28How do you mean?
00:38:29From Richard to Rick.
00:38:30About the cave.
00:38:32I think it probably speaks to the novel's theme of reinvention.
00:38:36I think it probably speaks to the author's pretension.
00:38:39Where were we?
00:38:41I was saying how much I loved your characterisation of Eileen.
00:38:45There aren't enough strong female characters in fiction.
00:38:48Not even fiction written by women.
00:38:50I agree.
00:38:52And I know it's fashionable at the moment to say that only women can write authentically about the female experience.
00:38:58But, er...
00:39:00I do tend to regard myself as a feminist writer.
00:39:06And where does that voice come from in you?
00:39:10The female voice.
00:39:15From the women in my life.
00:39:47I'm shooting the movie version in Los Angeles.
00:39:49The studio have hired me a private jet.
00:39:51So we shouldn't have any trouble getting you into the country.
00:39:54And, er...
00:39:55Who knows?
00:39:56Maybe we'll decide to stay in L.A.
00:40:01Can you not allow yourself to enjoy our success?
00:40:10Even for a second.
00:40:13We are telling stories that move and inspire people.
00:40:21Isn't that what muses were made for?
00:40:24My sister goddesses and I were born.
00:40:26We were not made.
00:40:28Sorry, it's Larry.
00:40:30Did you talk to the studio?
00:40:37No, I need them to guarantee at the outset that cast and crew will be made up of at least
00:40:4350% women.
00:40:45And people of colour.
00:40:46And then we need to publicise it so they can't back out of it when it comes to hiring people.
00:41:02We're all in the movie.
00:41:12Are you fucking kidding me?
00:41:14No.
00:41:16No.
00:41:18No.
00:41:18No.
00:41:19I am making it so fucking fun.
00:41:22What are they?
00:41:23I don't care.
00:41:25What are they?
00:41:30No, I'm...
00:41:31No.
00:41:32No.
00:41:33No.
00:41:33No.
00:41:34No.
00:41:34No.
00:41:37No.
00:41:48No.
00:41:49No.
00:41:51No.
00:42:05I call to you, Oneros, that you may hear me.
00:42:10Come to my aid when I say your name out loud.
00:42:19Morpheus.
00:42:21What does it mean?
00:42:24It is the name of the God of Dreams.
00:42:32You're writing him a letter.
00:42:35Something like that.
00:42:56You're mine.
00:42:59By law, the God of Dreams can't save you.
00:43:23Thank you for agreeing to do this interview at your home.
00:43:25Thank you for getting the word out about the new book.
00:43:27So, I thought I'd start by asking about your formative literary influences.
00:43:33Well, I wouldn't even be a writer if it wasn't for having read people like Shirley Jackson and Margaret Atwood
00:43:40and Octavia Rebutler.
00:43:42Having read Eagle Stones, the writer that came to mind was the late Erasmus Frye.
00:43:47Oh.
00:43:48Sorry.
00:43:48Did you say the late Erasmus Frye?
00:43:51He's, um...
00:43:54He died?
00:43:56Last summer.
00:43:57Did you know him?
00:43:59Well, I didn't know him.
00:44:01I, uh, we met on a couple of occasions.
00:44:03He was very kind about my work.
00:44:07He must have been almost 90.
00:44:09Did he, um, did he die of old age?
00:44:13No.
00:44:15He actually poisoned himself.
00:44:18Apparently, the last thing he did was write a letter to his old publisher, begging them to bring one of
00:44:23his books back into print.
00:44:25Here comes a candle, I suppose.
00:44:27I think it was.
00:44:28How did you know?
00:44:31It was perhaps my favourite book when I was growing up.
00:44:35It was very moving, honest, and strange.
00:44:45Poor old sod.
00:44:47It's a shame people stopped reading him, that his work fell out of fashion.
00:44:52Not that you'll have to worry about that.
00:44:54You're Richard Maddock.
00:44:56Oh, sorry.
00:44:56Rick Maddock.
00:44:59Right.
00:45:00Next question.
00:45:10You came.
00:45:15You called.
00:45:18They told me you had been in prison.
00:45:21Just like me.
00:45:23Not like you.
00:45:26My suffering was nothing compared to yours.
00:45:28Don't say that.
00:45:31Comparing our suffering only compounds it.
00:45:33It pains me to hear of your misfortune.
00:45:37I'm glad that you're free.
00:45:39You were bound here by the laws.
00:45:44I know that you cannot free me.
00:45:47Only he can do that, but...
00:45:50Perhaps you might...
00:45:53inspire him...
00:45:54to let me go.
00:45:56I will do all that.
00:45:59And more.
00:46:01Dream.
00:46:02He...
00:46:02must be punished.
00:46:05How?
00:46:07What punishment...
00:46:08could be enough?
00:46:09Even his death would not bring back what he has taken from me.
00:46:13He's nothing.
00:46:15He's just a man.
00:46:17I cannot allow him to go free.
00:46:19Why?
00:46:20Because I was once yours.
00:46:23Because he hurt you.
00:46:28The last time I saw you,
00:46:29you said you would never speak to me again.
00:46:32I'm sorry.
00:46:33I...
00:46:35I did not know where else to turn.
00:46:39You misunderstand me.
00:46:42When I heard you call to me,
00:46:45even after all this time.
00:46:48I...
00:46:48I...
00:46:49I...
00:46:50I...
00:46:51I...
00:46:52I...
00:46:53I...
00:46:54let me help you.
00:46:58Please.
00:47:00I owe you that much.
00:47:09What will you do to him?
00:47:27who the fuck are you?
00:47:30Get out of my house.
00:47:32Be quiet.
00:47:34You are keeping a woman here against her will.
00:47:38I have come to request that you set her free.
00:47:42You have your mind?
00:47:44There's no woman here.
00:47:45I'm calling the police.
00:47:46Do you know who I am?
00:47:47I know precisely who and what you are,
00:47:49Richard Muddock.
00:47:57I will not call any human agency.
00:48:02Just let her go.
00:48:03You don't understand.
00:48:04I need her.
00:48:05If I didn't have her,
00:48:06I wouldn't be able to write.
00:48:07I wouldn't have ideas.
00:48:09Look,
00:48:10I have money.
00:48:11Hold your tongue.
00:48:18She has been held captive
00:48:20for more than 60 years.
00:48:24Demeaned.
00:48:25Abused.
00:48:27Defiled.
00:48:28And you will not set her free
00:48:30because you need ideas.
00:48:32Well,
00:48:34if it's ideas you want,
00:48:36then you shall have them
00:48:38in abundance.
00:49:08What do you mean?
00:49:09What did you do to me?
00:49:13Are you giving me nightmares now?
00:49:18Tell me!
00:49:19I have done nothing to you,
00:49:20Richard Muddock.
00:49:24You have met Morpheus,
00:49:27whom the Romans called
00:49:28the Shaper of Form.
00:49:30He was once my husband
00:49:33and the father of my son.
00:49:36I didn't know you had a son.
00:49:38You know nothing about me.
00:49:41But it is too late
00:49:43to let any of that
00:49:44concern you now.
00:49:52And in the darkness,
00:49:54he thought about the story
00:49:57in every star.
00:50:02Like fireflies.
00:50:05Flicking.
00:50:07Fading.
00:50:10in the night.
00:50:25Any questions?
00:50:31The young woman
00:50:32in the third row.
00:50:37Your work spans
00:50:39so many genres,
00:50:41so many worlds,
00:50:42so many different kinds
00:50:43of characters.
00:50:45May I just ask,
00:50:46where does all that come from?
00:50:49For me,
00:50:52ideas don't come from
00:50:55anywhere.
00:50:57They're all around us.
00:50:59All the time.
00:51:00I could write
00:51:01an entire novel
00:51:03set at
00:51:06a book reading.
00:51:08There.
00:51:10Something had happened
00:51:12to the world outside.
00:51:14A holocaust
00:51:15of some kind.
00:51:17But the audience
00:51:18was sane.
00:51:21As long as the author
00:51:22kept reading.
00:51:26Or,
00:51:27a story about
00:51:28the fraternity of critics
00:51:30in reality,
00:51:31a dark brethren
00:51:33linked by profane
00:51:34rites
00:51:35and blood vows.
00:51:37To destroy an author,
00:51:38they sacrifice a child
00:51:40and perform
00:51:42a critical mass.
00:51:47Or a city
00:51:48where the streets
00:51:50are paved with time.
00:51:51A train

00:51:54driven by a blind man.

00:52:54with a paper doll.
00:52:54Mr. Maddock,
00:52:55it's Nora.
00:52:56What's happened
00:52:56to your hands?
00:52:57I'm just having
00:52:58so many ideas.
00:52:59I didn't have a pen
00:53:00or any paper.
00:53:02I just used my hands.
00:53:08I said I needed
00:53:09the ideas
00:53:10but they're
00:53:11coming too fast.
00:53:12You need to get him
00:53:13to the hospital.
00:53:14No, please.
00:53:15Go to my house.
00:53:17There is a woman
00:53:18in a room
00:53:19upstairs.
00:53:21She's locked up
00:53:22in there.
00:53:24Tell her that she can go
00:53:25that I
00:53:26free her.
00:53:27I don't understand.
00:53:29Take my keys
00:53:30and let her out.
00:53:31Make her leave.
00:53:32Make her go away.
00:53:36I signed a book
00:53:37for you once.
00:53:38Didn't I?
00:53:41Please.
00:53:44Okay.
00:53:45Okay, I'll go.
00:53:47Make it stop.
00:53:49Tell her
00:53:50I'm sorry.
00:53:52Magical and alchemical
00:53:54traditions seen
00:53:55as a cargo cult.

00:54:00a nightingale,
00:54:01a rosebush
00:54:02and a black
00:54:04rubber dog collar.
00:54:21Hello?
00:54:23Hello?
00:54:25Hello?
00:54:27Hello?
00:54:59It is over.
00:55:10I merely answered your call.
00:55:15What will you do now?
00:55:20I think what I must do is to...
00:55:24try to make sure that this never happens to anyone else ever again.
00:55:30How?
00:55:31I do not know.
00:55:35By inspiring humanity to want better for themselves and each other.
00:55:41By rewriting the laws by which I was held.
00:55:45Laws that were written long ago and which my sisters and I had no say.
00:55:49I shall do the same in my realm.
00:55:53You have changed, Oneros.
00:55:56In the old days, you would have left me here to rot without turning a hair.
00:56:04Do you still hate me?
00:56:07For leaving you?
00:56:10For blaming you for what happened?
00:56:12No.
00:56:16I have learned much in recent times and...
00:56:23no matter.
00:56:26I do not hate you.
00:56:34I think you should release the mortal now.
00:56:38He has set me free.
00:56:40And without forgiveness, wounds will never heal.
00:56:42You would forgive him...
00:56:44for what he has done?
00:56:46I would not forgive what he has done.
00:56:49But I must forgive the man.
00:56:51not for him.
00:56:53For me.
00:56:56Will you free him?
00:56:59If that is what you wish...
00:57:03it shall be done.
00:57:14I'm back, Mr. Maddock.
00:57:16How are you feeling?
00:57:18I...
00:57:20I don't know anymore.
00:57:22I...
00:57:22I...
00:57:23keep trying to think.
00:57:26I did what you asked.
00:57:27I went to your place.
00:57:29There was just...
00:57:31a book.
00:57:32There was something she said.
00:57:35The...
00:57:36paper of forms.
00:57:39There was a name.
00:57:40She wrote it down.
00:57:42I...
00:57:45I wish I could remember.
00:57:46It's so hard to...
00:57:50think all of a sudden.
00:57:53Is there anyone I should call?
00:57:55She's gone.
00:58:01And it's all gone with her.
00:58:04The ideas.
00:58:06The stories.
00:58:11They were all hers.
00:58:14Whose?
00:58:15Who are you talking about?
00:58:22I have no...
00:58:26idea.
00:58:27I have no idea.
00:58:32No idea.
00:58:33the stories.
00:58:39Who are you talking about?
00:58:39May I...
00:58:40visit you in the Dream Realm sometime?
00:58:44So that we may finally talk about our son.
00:58:50And...
00:58:52grieve him properly?
00:58:53Properly one day perhaps, but I
00:59:02Understand
00:59:18Thank you
00:59:19Oh noodles, I will not forget this
00:59:26Fare you well
00:59:32You fortune me with you
00:59:37Goodbye, Clive
00:59:50Unh

00:59:51Come away
01:00:19Come to you
