PART TWO :Perestroika
2
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,126
l feel like somethings going to give. It's 1985, fifteen years in the third miiiennium..
3
00:01:42,898 --> 00:01:45,541
Nothing to get anxious about. How would you like to move to Washington?
4
00:01:46,692 --> 00:01:47,776
So say it, Henry
5
00:01:48,911 --> 00:01:50,328
You have AIDS, Roy
6
00:01:50,980 --> 00:01:53,339
You are not about to die
7
00:01:54,616 --> 00:01:55,908
I'm not going to leave you, Harper
8
00:01:56,656 --> 00:01:58,230
Maybe not. But I'm going to leave you
9
00:01:58,943 --> 00:02:03,300
Life is full of horror. Nobody escapes, nobody
10
00:02:04,262 --> 00:02:07,622
I'm dying, where's Louis?
11
00:02:09,705 --> 00:02:11,339
Greetings, Prophet
12
00:02:11,867 --> 00:02:15,375
The Great Work begins. The Messenger has arrived
13
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:36,500
ACT ONE : Spooj
14
00:02:36,985 --> 00:02:42,690
In the Hall of Deputies, the Kremlin, December 1985
15
00:02:43,940 --> 00:02:52,932
Aleksii Antediliuvianovich Preiapsarianov, the world's oldest living Bolshevik
16
00:03:03,252 --> 00:03:09,979
The great question before us is: are we doomed?
17
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,419
The great question before us is: will the past release us?
18
00:03:16,996 --> 00:03:24,889
The great question before us is:can we change? In time?
19
00:03:25,139 --> 00:03:29,355
And we all desire that change will come
20
00:03:30,691 --> 00:03:36,604
And theory?How are we to proceed without theory?
21
00:03:36,956 --> 00:03:41,900
What system of Thought have these reformers to present...
22
00:03:41,989 --> 00:03:46,700
...to this mad swirling planetary disorganization?
23
00:03:46,787 --> 00:03:54,860
To the inevident welter of fact, event, phenomenon, calamity?
24
00:03:54,274 --> 00:04:06,135
Do they have, as we did, a beautiful theory, as bold, as grand, as comprehensive a construct?
25
00:04:06,944 --> 00:04:14,100
You can't imagine, when we first read the Classic Texts...
26
00:04:14,103 --> 00:04:18,800
When in the dark vexed night of our ignorance and terror...
27
00:04:18,871 --> 00:04:26,820
...the seed-words sprouted and shoved incomprehension aside...
28
00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:39,569
...when the incredible bloody vegetable struggle up and through into red blooming gave us Praxis
29
00:04:39,694 --> 00:04:47,805
True Praxis, True Theory married to Actual Life
30
00:04:48,733 --> 00:04:58,300
You who live in this sour Little Age cannot imagine the grandeur of the prospect we gazed upon
31
00:04:58,350 --> 00:05:03,800
Like standing atop the highest peak in the mighty Caucasus...
32
00:05:03,821 --> 00:05:13,261
...and viewing in one all-knowing glance the mountainous, granite order of creation
33
00:05:13,966 --> 00:05:20,201
We were one with the sidereal pulse then
34
00:05:20,386 --> 00:05:27,772
In the blood in our heads we heard the tick of the infinite
35
00:05:28,478 --> 00:05:35,628
You cannot imagine it. I weep for you
36
00:05:36,285 --> 00:05:42,300
And what have you to offer now, children of this Theory?
37
00:05:42,330 --> 00:05:45,507
What have you to offer in its place?
38
00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:53,526
Market incentives? American cheeseburgers?
39
00:05:54,910 --> 00:06:07,600
Watered-down Bukharinite stopgap makeshift capitalism!NEPmen!Pygmy children of a gigantic race!
40
00:06:07,715 --> 00:06:19,500
Change? Yes, we must must change, only show me the Theory, and I will be at the barricades
41
00:06:19,605 --> 00:06:24,400
Show me the book of the next Beautiful Theory...
42
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:34,908
...and I promise you these blind eyes will see again, just to read it, to devour that text
43
00:06:34,924 --> 00:06:42,515
Show me the words that will reorder the world, or else keep silent
44
00:06:50,137 --> 00:06:58,300
If the snake sheds his skin before a new skin is ready...
45
00:06:58,333 --> 00:07:04,825
...naked he wiII be in the world, prey to the forces of chaos
46
00:07:04,851 --> 00:07:14,872
Without his skin he wiII be dismantled, Iose coherence and die
47
00:07:15,420 --> 00:07:25,500
Have you, my little serpents, a new skin?
48
00:07:26,730 --> 00:07:37,764
Then we dare not, we cannot, we must not move ahead
49
00:07:46,317 --> 00:07:48,200
Alphabetland
50
00:07:48,382 --> 00:07:52,700
This is where the Jews Iived when they first arrived
51
00:07:52,762 --> 00:07:59,190
And now, a hundred years Iater, the place to which their more seriousIy fucked-up grandchildren repair
52
00:08:00,297 --> 00:08:02,289
This is progress?
53
00:08:04,946 --> 00:08:09,197
It's a terrible mess. It's a little dirty.
54
00:08:10,154 --> 00:08:14,557
Messy, not dirty. That's an important distinction
55
00:08:14,742 --> 00:08:22,898
It's dust, not dirt, chemical-slash-mineral, not organic, not Iike microbes, more Iike...
56
00:08:23,468 --> 00:08:28,500
Can I take your tie off? - No, wait, I'm uncomfortable, actually
57
00:08:28,526 --> 00:08:30,825
Me, too, actually. Being uncomfortable turns me on
58
00:08:30,825 --> 00:08:34,184
Me, too, actually. Being uncomfortable turns me on
59
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:48,456
Your boyfriend. He's sick. And I...- Very. He's not my boyfriend, we...
60
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:57,500
We can cap everything that Ieaks in Iatex, we can smear our bodies with nonoxynoI-9
61
00:08:57,599 --> 00:09:04,210
Safe, chemical sex. Messy, but not dirty
62
00:09:07,169 --> 00:09:10,200
Look, I want to but I don't want to beg
63
00:09:10,290 --> 00:09:13,490
No, I... Oh come on. Please
64
00:09:14,925 --> 00:09:21,980
-I should go - Fine. Ohblahdee, ohblahdah, life goes on. Rah
65
00:09:21,834 --> 00:09:24,430
- What?- Hurry home to the missus
66
00:09:28,458 --> 00:09:33,656
Married gentlemen before cruising the Ramble should first remove their bands of gold
67
00:09:36,978 --> 00:09:39,726
Go if you're going. Go
68
00:09:44,730 --> 00:09:46,721
I'm not staying
69
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:59,302
-What kind of cologne is that? - Faberge
70
00:09:59,464 --> 00:10:07,980
Oh, very butch, very heterosexual high school. Faberge
71
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,408
You smeII nice. So do you.
72
00:10:14,545 --> 00:10:24,204
Smell is an incredibly complex and underappreciated physical phenomenon inextricably bound up with sex
73
00:10:24,271 --> 00:10:28,700
I didn't know that - It is
74
00:10:28,782 --> 00:10:36,610
The nose is really a sexual organ. Smelling is desiring
75
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:44,659
We have five senses, but only two that go beyond the boundaries of ourselves
76
00:10:44,792 --> 00:10:51,900
When you Iook at someone, it's just bouncing Iight. When you hear them, it's just sound waves
77
00:10:51,997 --> 00:10:57,695
Vibrating air. Touch, is just nerve endings tingIing. Know what a smeII is?
78
00:10:58,327 --> 00:11:02,429
It's some sort of... No
79
00:11:04,504 --> 00:11:16,715
It's made up of the molecules of what you're smeIIing. Some part of you, where you meet the air, is airborne
80
00:11:17,628 --> 00:11:29,880
LittIe molecules of Joe... Up my nose
81
00:11:32,931 --> 00:11:37,147
Nice. Try it
82
00:11:37,698 --> 00:11:40,768
Try? -Inhale
83
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,410
-Nice? -Yes
84
00:11:49,217 --> 00:11:57,200
-I should... -Smelling and tasting. First the nose, then the tongue
85
00:11:57,286 --> 00:11:59,100
- I just don't... - They work as a team, see
86
00:11:59,174 --> 00:12:05,000
The nose tells the body, the heart, the mind, the fingers the cock... what it wants
87
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,900
And then the tongue explores, finding out what's edible, what isn't
88
00:12:08,981 --> 00:12:17,634
What's most mineral, food for the blood, food for the bones, and therefore most delectable
89
00:12:21,202 --> 00:12:23,126
Salt
90
00:12:36,248 --> 00:12:39,555
Iron. Clay
91
00:12:48,889 --> 00:12:55,409
Chlorine. Copper. Earth
92
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,000
- What does that taste Iike? Um...
93
00:13:12,950 --> 00:13:15,400
- What?-Well... Nighttime
94
00:13:15,449 --> 00:13:17,106
Stay? - Yes
95
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:23,551
Louis? What did that mean, ohbiahdee ohbIah...?
96
00:13:23,732 --> 00:13:27,390
Sssh. Words are the worst things. Breathe. Smell
97
00:13:27,717 --> 00:13:32,518
Or if you have to talk, talk dirty
98
00:13:58,572 --> 00:14:05,231
The oboe. Official instrument of the International Order of Travel Agents
99
00:14:06,198 --> 00:14:17,131
If the duck were a songbird it would sing Iike this. Nasal, desolate, the call of migratory things
100
00:14:17,265 --> 00:14:19,691
I'm freezing -Where did you get that?
101
00:14:19,961 --> 00:14:23,600
From the great Antarctic pine forests Right over that hiII
102
00:14:23,666 --> 00:14:26,100
There are no pine forests in Antarctica
103
00:14:26,123 --> 00:14:30,325
I chewed this pine tree down with my teeth. Like a beaver
104
00:14:32,222 --> 00:14:44,385
I'm hungry, I haven't eaten in three days. I'm going to use it to build something, maybe a fire
105
00:14:56,826 --> 00:15:03,602
I don't understand why I'm not dead. When your heart breaks, you should die
106
00:15:04,446 --> 00:15:08,100
But there's still the rest of you. There's your breasts, and your genitals
107
00:15:08,180 --> 00:15:15,400
And they're amazingiy stupid, Iike babies or faithful dogs
108
00:15:15,470 --> 00:15:20,910
They don't get it, they just want him. Want him
109
00:15:21,610 --> 00:15:23,300
The Eskimo is back. I know
110
00:15:23,368 --> 00:15:29,300
I wanted a real Eskimo, someone chilly and reIiabIe, not this, this is just some Iawyer
111
00:15:29,406 --> 00:15:31,456
Hey, buddy- Hey
112
00:15:32,420 --> 00:15:35,500
-I Iooked for you. I've been everywhere -WeII, you found me
113
00:15:35,549 --> 00:15:39,800
No, I'm not Iooking now. I guess I'm having an adventure
114
00:15:39,869 --> 00:15:43,000
Can I come with you? This isn't working anymore. I'm cold
115
00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:47,500
- I wouIdn't want you to see. Think it's worse than what I imagine? It isn't
116
00:15:47,579 --> 00:15:51,110
- I shouid go. Bastard. You fell out of Iove with me
117
00:15:51,605 --> 00:15:53,677
That isn't true, Harper
118
00:15:54,700 --> 00:15:58,200
Why did you come here? Leave me alone if you're so goddamned happy.
119
00:15:58,303 --> 00:16:01,333
You want me here
120
00:16:03,405 --> 00:16:12,600
To see you again. Any way I can. Oh God I wish you were... No I don't
121
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:14,501
- Please don't - Dead
122
00:16:16,271 --> 00:16:20,400
Come back. Oh, buddy, I wish so much that I could
123
00:16:20,451 --> 00:16:24,518
But how can I? I can't
124
00:16:56,637 --> 00:17:01,846
- BIues for the death of Heaven. No!
125
00:17:02,801 --> 00:17:07,240
I tried to tell you. There are no Eskimo in Antarctica
126
00:17:08,239 --> 00:17:13,854
- No. No trees either -So where did you get that?
127
00:17:15,406 --> 00:17:25,121
From the Botanical Gardens Arboretum. It's right over there. Prospect Park
128
00:17:25,140 --> 00:17:27,448
We're still in Brooklyn I guess
129
00:17:27,671 --> 00:17:39,189
The Law for real. Damn. Busted.What a Iousy vacation
130
00:17:51,676 --> 00:17:54,440
Pitt residence
131
00:17:54,621 --> 00:18:02,000
No, he's out. This is his mother. No I have no idea where he is. I have no idea
132
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:07,497
He was supposed to meet me at the airport, but I don't wait more than three and three quarters...
133
00:18:08,827 --> 00:18:12,254
Yes of course I know her, yes she Iives here, what's...
134
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:19,400
Oh my Lord! Is she...Wait, Officer, I don't...
135
00:18:19,470 --> 00:18:21,719
She did what, exactly?
136
00:18:23,602 --> 00:18:27,774
Why on earth would she chew down a pine tree?
137
00:18:28,523 --> 00:18:34,394
You have no business Iaughing about it, you can stop that right now. That's ugly
138
00:18:35,909 --> 00:18:37,966
Apology accepted
139
00:18:40,940 --> 00:18:46,500
I don't know where that is, I just arrived from Sait Lake and I barely found Brookiyn
140
00:18:46,543 --> 00:18:50,507
I had to give the superintendent money to Iet me into the...
141
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,518
I'II take a taxicab
142
00:18:54,111 --> 00:19:00,437
No! No hospital. She's not insane, she's just bewildered, she..
143
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,361
I don't see how it's any business of yours what she is
144
00:19:05,747 --> 00:19:09,597
TeII her Mother Pitt is coming
145
00:19:28,618 --> 00:19:31,714
WiII you Iook at this!
146
00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:38,469
First goddamn orgasm in months and I slept through it
147
00:19:49,914 --> 00:19:54,000
Ten East - I am drenched in spooj
148
00:19:54,250 --> 00:20:02,500
Spooj? -Cum. Jiz. Ejaculate. I've had a wet dream
149
00:20:02,565 --> 00:20:09,284
huh, bound to happen, you've been abstemious to excess. Beaucoup de spooj
150
00:20:10,421 --> 00:20:16,982
- It was a woman - A woman?
151
00:20:17,328 --> 00:20:24,853
Not a conventionai woman Grace Jones... HeIIo?
152
00:20:25,180 --> 00:20:28,420
-It was an angel. Oh fabulous
153
00:20:29,562 --> 00:20:35,300
I feel Iascivious. Come over
154
00:20:35,324 --> 00:20:38,800
I spent the whoie day with you, I do have a Iife of my own, you know
155
00:20:38,909 --> 00:20:41,100
- I'm sad. I thought you were Iascivious
156
00:20:41,207 --> 00:20:47,900
Lascivious sad. Wonderful and horrible all at once
157
00:20:48,290 --> 00:20:52,534
Like there's a war inside. My eyes are funny, I..
158
00:20:55,389 --> 00:20:57,597
Oh, I'm crying. Prior?
159
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:06,901
I'm scared. And also full of, I don't know, joy or something
160
00:21:07,573 --> 00:21:09,606
Hope
161
00:21:10,358 --> 00:21:13,500
- Are you the duty nurse? -Yo. Look, baby, I gotta go
162
00:21:13,544 --> 00:21:18,800
Oh no, not yet, I... Sing something first. Sing with me -Wash up and sleep
163
00:21:18,844 --> 00:21:20,900
- Are you the duty nurse?-Yo, I said
164
00:21:20,964 --> 00:21:24,170
- Then why are you dressed Iike that? You don't Iike it?
165
00:21:24,449 --> 00:21:29,100
I'II call you in the morning when I... Just one little song. Some hymn?
166
00:21:29,157 --> 00:21:35,196
Nurse, Hang up the fucking…… One moment, please. This is an emergency
167
00:21:38,692 --> 00:21:45,700
Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the newbom king
168
00:21:45,790 --> 00:21:51,700
Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled
169
00:21:51,802 --> 00:21:52,900
What's your name?
170
00:21:53,218 --> 00:21:59,990
Joyful all ye nations rise, Join the triumph of the skies
171
00:22:00,127 --> 00:22:06,800
With angelic hosts proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem
172
00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:16,420
Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the newbom king
173
00:22:17,964 --> 00:22:26,530
Call you back. There's a man bothering me Je t'aime
174
00:22:28,234 --> 00:22:31,600
- May I heIp you? Nurses are supposed to wear white
175
00:22:31,684 --> 00:22:35,249
Doctors are supposed to be home, in Westchester, asleep
176
00:22:36,284 --> 00:22:40,701
Emergency admit, Room 1013. Here are the charts
177
00:22:40,717 --> 00:22:47,930
Start the drip, Gamma G and he'll need a CTM, radiation in the morning so clear diet and...
178
00:22:47,660 --> 00:22:49,800
- What? Liver cancer
179
00:22:49,885 --> 00:22:52,700
Just ignore that. Oncology's on six, doII
180
00:22:52,788 --> 00:22:56,300
This is the right fIoor. It says Iiver cancer.I dont give a fuck what it says.
181
00:22:56,347 --> 00:22:59,278
I said this is the right fIoor. Got it?
182
00:22:59,668 --> 00:23:03,100
Ooooh, testy. He's a very important man
183
00:23:03,171 --> 00:23:06,669
- Then I shouldn't fuck up his medication? -Think you can manage that?
184
00:23:06,917 --> 00:23:15,586
And, maybe, you know, confidentiality. Don't share this with your sewing circle
185
00:23:16,483 --> 00:23:20,598
Safe home... Asshole
186
00:23:32,740 --> 00:23:35,950
I have some piping hot dish
187
00:23:36,147 --> 00:23:40,405
- How hot can it be at three in the... Get out your oven mitts
188
00:23:41,405 --> 00:23:45,200
Don't tell anyone, but guess who just checked in with the troubles?
189
00:23:45,245 --> 00:23:50,400
The KiIIer Queen herself. New York's number one closeted queer
190
00:23:50,458 --> 00:23:57,783
- Koch? No, not Koch. Better
191
00:24:03,208 --> 00:24:13,123
- The Lord moves in mysterious ways -Oh indeed. Indeed She do
192
00:24:23,340 --> 00:24:26,200
Get outta here you, I got nothing to say to you
193
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:31,300
Just doing my job. I want a white nurse. My constitutional right
194
00:24:31,377 --> 00:24:35,979
You're in a hospital, you don't have any constitutionai rights
195
00:24:53,377 --> 00:24:57,300
Find the vein, you moron, don't start jabbing that goddamned spigot in my arm...
196
00:24:57,333 --> 00:25:02,100
...tiII you find the fucking vein or I'll sue you so bad they'll repossess your teeth, you dim black...
197
00:25:02,126 --> 00:25:08,388
Watch. yourself. You don't talk to me that way when I'm hoIding something this sharp
198
00:25:08,731 --> 00:25:14,433
Or I might sIip and stick it in your heart. If you have a heart
199
00:25:14,552 --> 00:25:18,127
Oh I do. Tough little muscle -I bet
200
00:25:18,379 --> 00:25:23,200
Now I've been doing drips a Iong time. I can sIip this in so easy you'll think you were born with it
201
00:25:23,220 --> 00:25:28,906
Or I can make it feet Iike just hooked you up to a bag of Liquid Drano
202
00:25:29,466 --> 00:25:35,490
So you be nice to me or you're going to be one sorry asshole come morning
203
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:40,842
-Nice - Nice and quiet
204
00:25:46,601 --> 00:25:47,482
There
205
00:25:48,115 --> 00:25:49,800
-I hurt - I'II get you a painkiIIer
206
00:25:49,858 --> 00:25:52,646
- WiII it knock me out?- I sure hope so
207
00:25:53,170 --> 00:25:58,679
Then shove it. Pain's nothing, pain's life Sing it, baby
208
00:25:59,770 --> 00:26:02,700
When they did my facelift, I made the anesthesiologist use a Iocal
209
00:26:02,782 --> 00:26:07,191
They Iifted up my whole face Iike a dinner napkin and I was wide awake to see it
210
00:26:08,470 --> 00:26:13,400
- BuIIshit. No doctor would agree to do that - I can get anyone to do anything I want
211
00:26:13,446 --> 00:26:21,500
For instance. Let's be friends. Jews and coloreds, historical Iiberal coalition, right?
212
00:26:21,540 --> 00:26:25,600
My people being the first to sell retail to your people, your people being the first people...
213
00:26:25,635 --> 00:26:29,700
...my people couid afford to hire to sweep out the store Saturday mornings
214
00:26:29,709 --> 00:26:32,985
And then we aII heId hands and rode the bus to Selma
215
00:26:34,611 --> 00:26:37,600
Not me of course, I don't ride buses, I take cabs
216
00:26:37,689 --> 00:26:41,900
But the thing about the American Negro is, he never went Communist
217
00:26:41,970 --> 00:26:49,545
Loser Jews did. But you people had Jesus, so the Reds never got to you. I admire that
218
00:26:50,531 --> 00:26:53,555
Your chart didn't mention that you're delusional.
219
00:26:54,434 --> 00:27:00,514
Barking mad. Sit. Talk
220
00:27:01,708 --> 00:27:07,800
Mr Cohn. I'd rather suck the pus out of an abscess. I'd rather drink a subway toilet
221
00:27:07,871 --> 00:27:12,114
I'd rather chew off my tongue and spit it in your Ieathery face
222
00:27:12,214 --> 00:27:17,200
So thanks for the offer of conversation, but I'd rather not
223
00:27:17,225 --> 00:27:22,654
Oh for christ sake. Whatta I gotta do? Beg? I don't want to be alone.
224
00:27:24,790 --> 00:27:32,100
Oh how I fucking hate hospitals, nurses, this waste of time and wasting and weakness
225
00:27:32,163 --> 00:27:37,378
I want to kiII the... Course they can't kiII this, can they?
226
00:27:38,650 --> 00:27:48,472
No. It's too simple. It knows itself. It's harder to kiII something if it knows what it is
227
00:27:48,930 --> 00:27:51,500
- Like pubic Iice. You ever have pubic Iice? -That is none of your...
228
00:27:51,554 --> 00:27:54,963
I got some kind of super crabs from some kid once
229
00:27:55,546 --> 00:28:00,800
It took twenty drenchings of KweII and finaIIy shaving to get rid of the little bastards
230
00:28:00,816 --> 00:28:05,600
Nothing could kiII them. And every time I had to itch I'd smile...
231
00:28:05,633 --> 00:28:18,810
...because I Iearned to respect them, these unkiIIabIe crabs, because I Iearned to identify. You know?
232
00:28:18,821 --> 00:28:22,860
Determined IowIife. Like me
233
00:28:24,140 --> 00:28:28,800
You've seen Iots of guys with this?- Lots
234
00:28:28,909 --> 00:28:33,600
- How do I Iook, comparativeiy? I'd say you're in trouble
235
00:28:33,629 --> 00:28:37,900
I'm going to die. Soon. That was a question
236
00:28:37,926 --> 00:28:42,188
Probably. Probably so
237
00:28:45,455 --> 00:28:52,497
Hah. I appreciate the honesty, or whatever
238
00:28:52,829 --> 00:28:58,600
If I Iive I could sue you for emotional distress, the whole hospital, but...
239
00:28:58,669 --> 00:29:01,500
I'm not preiudiced, I'm not a prejudiced man
240
00:29:01,543 --> 00:29:06,400
These racist guys, simpletons, I never had any use for them. Too rigid
241
00:29:06,495 --> 00:29:12,100
You want to keep your eye on where the most powerful enemy reaIIy is. I save my hate for what counts
242
00:29:12,174 --> 00:29:20,681
WeII. And I think that's a good idea, a good thing to do, probably
243
00:29:24,258 --> 00:29:31,478
This didn't come from me and I don't Iike you, but Iet me tell you a thing or two
244
00:29:31,799 --> 00:29:34,900
They have you down for radiation tomorrow for the sarcoma Iesions
245
00:29:34,946 --> 00:29:38,900
And you don't want to Iet them do that, because radiation wiII kiII the T-cells...
246
00:29:38,957 --> 00:29:42,180
...and you don't have any you can afford to Iose
247
00:29:42,190 --> 00:29:47,870
So tell the doctor no thanks for the radiation. He won't want to Iisten
248
00:29:47,292 --> 00:29:51,321
Persuade him or he'II kiII you
249
00:29:51,923 --> 00:29:58,500
You're just a fucking nurse. Why should I Iisten to you over my very quaIified, very expensive WASP doctor?
250
00:29:58,571 --> 00:30:03,681
- He's not queer. I am. Don't wink at me
251
00:30:05,508 --> 00:30:09,242
You said a thing or two? So that's one
252
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,000
I don't know what strings you pulled to get in on the azidothymidine trials
253
00:30:14,140 --> 00:30:16,534
- I have my Iittle ways. Uh-huh
254
00:30:16,893 --> 00:30:20,200
Watch out for the double blind. They want you to sign something...
255
00:30:20,232 --> 00:30:24,800
...that says they can give you M&M instead of the real drug. You'll die
256
00:30:24,816 --> 00:30:28,600
But they'll get the kind of statistics they can publish in the New England Joumal of Medicine
257
00:30:28,653 --> 00:30:35,177
And you can't sue cause you signed. And if you don't sign, no piIIs
258
00:30:35,324 --> 00:30:40,800
So if you have any strings left, puII them, because everyone's put through the double blind
259
00:30:40,874 --> 00:30:48,243
And with this, time's against you, you can't fuck around with placebos
260
00:30:49,429 --> 00:30:52,200
-You hate me - Yes
261
00:30:52,392 --> 00:30:57,300
- Why are you tellng me this? I wish I knew
262
00:30:58,507 --> 00:31:06,500
You're a butterfingers spook faggot nurse. I think you have little reason to want to help me
263
00:31:06,632 --> 00:31:12,169
Consider it solidarity. One faggot to another
264
00:31:13,529 --> 00:31:18,800
Any more of your Iip, boy, and you'II be fIipping Big Macs in East Hell before tomorrow night
265
00:31:18,871 --> 00:31:24,218
And get me a real phone, with a hold button
266
00:31:25,309 --> 00:31:28,737
I mean Iook at this, it's just one little Iine
267
00:31:30,568 --> 00:31:35,400
Now how am I supposed to perform basic bodily functions on this?
268
00:31:40,709 --> 00:31:44,200
Yeah who is this, the operator,Give me an outside Iine
269
00:31:45,579 --> 00:31:49,552
WeII then diaI for me. It's a medical emergency, darling
270
00:31:51,328 --> 00:31:59,242
DiaI the fucking number or I'II strangle myself with the phone cord
271
00:32:01,738 --> 00:32:10,537
202 733 8525
272
00:32:13,201 --> 00:32:19,900
Martin HeIIer. Oh hi, Martin. Yeah I know what time it is, I couIdn't sleep, I'm busy dying
273
00:32:19,982 --> 00:32:27,745
Listen, Martin, this drug they got me on,azido-methataIo-moIamocawhatchamacallit
274
00:32:27,944 --> 00:32:31,752
Yeah. AZT
275
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,700
I want my own private stash, Martin
276
00:32:34,784 --> 00:32:39,800
Of Serious Honest-Abe medicine that I control, here in the room with me
277
00:32:39,905 --> 00:32:43,755
No placebos, I'm no good at tests, Martin, I'd rather cheat
278
00:32:43,942 --> 00:32:53,320
So send me my piIIs with a get-well bouquet, pronto, or I'II ring up CBS and sing Mike Wallace a song
279
00:32:53,938 --> 00:33:00,278
The Ballad of Adorable Ollie North and His Secret Contra Slush Fund
280
00:33:01,289 --> 00:33:07,175
Oh, you only think you know aII I know. I don't even know what aII I know
281
00:33:07,522 --> 00:33:11,488
Half the time I just make it up, and it still turns out to be true
282
00:33:12,353 --> 00:33:15,416
We Iearned that trick in the fifties
283
00:33:16,530 --> 00:33:22,724
Tomorrow, you two-bit scumsucking shitheel fIypaper insignificant dried-out little turd
284
00:33:22,893 --> 00:33:32,953
A nice big box of drugs for Uncle Roy. Or there'll be seven different kinds of hell to pay
285
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:40,100
ACT TWO :The Epistle
286
00:33:41,125 --> 00:33:45,929
- It was tacky?It was divine
287
00:33:45,612 --> 00:33:50,800
He was one of the Great Glitter Queens. He couIdn't be buried Iike a civllian
288
00:33:50,870 --> 00:33:53,400
Trailing sequins and incense he came into the world
289
00:33:53,468 --> 00:33:59,100
Trailing sequins and incense he departed it. And good for him
290
00:33:59,157 --> 00:34:05,201
I thought the twenty professional Siciiian mourners were a bit much
291
00:34:06,499 --> 00:34:12,000
A great queen, big fucking deaI. That Iudicrous spectacle in there
292
00:34:12,750 --> 00:34:17,256
Just a parody of a funeral of someone who really counted
293
00:34:17,455 --> 00:34:24,400
We don't, faggots. We're just a bad dream the real world is having
294
00:34:24,458 --> 00:34:30,430
And the real worId's waking up. And he's dead
295
00:34:32,253 --> 00:34:38,300
Lately, sugar, you have gotten very strange.Lighten up already
296
00:34:38,369 --> 00:34:45,300
Oh I apoiogize, it was only a for-God's-sake funeral, a cause for fucking celebration
297
00:34:45,311 --> 00:34:50,900
I'm sorry if I can't join in with the rest of you death-junkies...
298
00:34:50,974 --> 00:34:58,200
...gIoating about your survival in the face of that...of his ugly demise
299
00:34:58,216 --> 00:35:09,267
Because unlike you I have nothing to gloat about. Never mind.
300
00:35:13,129 --> 00:35:21,100
-And you Iook Iike Morticia Addams - Like the Wrath of God
301
00:35:21,143 --> 00:35:23,559
- Yes-That is the intended effect
302
00:35:27,363 --> 00:35:31,253
- My eyes are fucked-up - Fucked-up how?
303
00:35:32,740 --> 00:35:36,400
Everything's closing in. Weirdness on the periphery
304
00:35:36,494 --> 00:35:43,567
Since when?For three weeks. Since the night when...
305
00:35:43,782 --> 00:35:46,200
- WeII what does the eye doctor say? -I haven't been
306
00:35:46,253 --> 00:35:50,696
- Oh for God's sake. Why? I was improving. Before
307
00:35:52,584 --> 00:35:56,230
- Remember my wet dream? - The angel?
308
00:35:56,436 --> 00:35:58,300
- It wasn't a dream Course it was
309
00:35:58,383 --> 00:36:04,339
No. I don't think so. I think it really happened
310
00:36:05,642 --> 00:36:09,630
- I'm a prophet Say what?
311
00:36:12,344 --> 00:36:16,243
I've been given a prophecy. A book
312
00:36:16,782 --> 00:36:21,400
Not a physical book, or there was one but they took it back
313
00:36:21,502 --> 00:36:27,367
But somehow there's still this book. In me
314
00:36:28,380 --> 00:36:36,357
A prophecy. It really happened, I'm almost completely sure of it
315
00:36:36,893 --> 00:36:39,600
Oh stop Iooking so...You're scaring me
316
00:36:39,668 --> 00:36:45,100
It was after Louis Ieft me. Every night I'd been having these horrible vivid dreams
317
00:36:45,109 --> 00:36:48,957
-And then...Then?
318
00:36:49,791 --> 00:36:52,199
And then She arrived
319
00:37:26,772 --> 00:37:28,700
Greetings, Prophet!
320
00:37:28,762 --> 00:37:32,788
The Great Work begins. The Messenger has arrived
321
00:37:33,814 --> 00:37:35,200
Go away - Attend
322
00:37:35,299 --> 00:37:38,800
Oh God there's a thing in the air, a thing, a thing
323
00:37:38,860 --> 00:37:43,800
I I I I am the Bird of America, the bald eagle
324
00:37:43,829 --> 00:37:51,955
Continental principality, Iumen phosphor fluor candle
325
00:37:52,170 --> 00:37:58,728
I unfoId my Ieaves, bright steel, in salutation open sharp before you
326
00:37:59,172 --> 00:38:04,100
Prior Waiter,Iong-descended, weII-prepared
327
00:38:04,198 --> 00:38:10,233
No, I'm not prepared for anything, I have Iots to do
328
00:38:13,238 --> 00:38:18,600
American Prophet tonight you become, American eye that pierceth dark
329
00:38:18,691 --> 00:38:22,200
American heart all hot for truth
330
00:38:22,236 --> 00:38:29,000
The true great vocalist, the knowing mind, tongue-of-the-Land, seer-head
331
00:38:29,510 --> 00:38:37,900
Oh, shoo! You're scaring the shit out me,get the fuck out of my room. Please, oh please
332
00:38:37,989 --> 00:38:43,406
Now. Remove from their hiding place the sacred prophetic implements
333
00:38:44,733 --> 00:38:46,100
The what?
334
00:38:46,231 --> 00:38:51,251
Remove from their hiding piace the sacred prophetic implements
335
00:38:51,277 --> 00:38:54,700
Your dreams have revealed them to you - What dreams?
336
00:38:54,776 --> 00:38:59,900
You have had dreams revealing to you... -I haven't had a dream I can remember in months
337
00:38:59,995 --> 00:39:06,900
- No dreams, you... Are you sure? -Yes. Well, the two dead Priors
338
00:39:07,260 --> 00:39:15,197
No, not the heralds, not them. Other dreams. Impiements, you must have...
339
00:39:16,699 --> 00:39:21,925
One moment - This is a dream, obviously
340
00:39:22,502 --> 00:39:28,700
I'm sick and so I... well OK, it's a pretty spectacular dream but still it's just some...
341
00:39:28,788 --> 00:39:33,838
Quiet, Prophet. A moment, please, I...
342
00:39:34,171 --> 00:39:38,952
The disorganization is... Yes
343
00:39:40,702 --> 00:39:44,238
In the kitchen. Under the tiles under the sink
344
00:39:44,763 --> 00:39:49,600
You want me to tear up the kitchen floor?
345
00:39:49,653 --> 00:39:58,000
Get a shovel or an axe or some tool for dislodging tile and grout and unearth the sacred impiements
346
00:39:58,490 --> 00:40:06,700
No fucking way! The ceiling's bad enough, I'II Iose the Iease, I'll Iose my security deposit
347
00:40:06,768 --> 00:40:12,800
I'II wake up the downstairs neighbors, their hysterical dog. Do it yourself
348
00:40:12,901 --> 00:40:17,555
Submit, submit to the wiII of heaven
349
00:40:24,701 --> 00:40:29,321
What did you... What...?
350
00:40:30,163 --> 00:40:38,355
And Io, the Prophet was Ied by his nightly dreams to the hiding place of the sacred implements, and...
351
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:48,200
Revision in the text. The AngeI heIped him to unearth them, for he was weak of body, though not of wiII
352
00:40:48,232 --> 00:40:54,900
You cracked the refrigerator, you probably released a whole cloud of fluorocarbons
353
00:40:54,915 --> 00:40:59,300
That's bad for the environment
354
00:40:59,529 --> 00:41:06,810
My wrath is as fearsome as my countenance is spiendid. Open the suitcase
355
00:41:20,293 --> 00:41:27,899
Oh, Iook at this! Like, wow, man, totally Paleozoic
356
00:41:28,917 --> 00:41:31,925
This is...
357
00:41:34,300 --> 00:41:38,360
Oh! Oh God no!
358
00:41:40,198 --> 00:41:42,740
That was terrible. I don't want to see that
359
00:41:43,111 --> 00:41:45,889
Remove the Book
360
00:41:53,450 --> 00:42:00,493
From the Council of ContinentaI Principalities met in this time of crisis and confusion
361
00:42:00,376 --> 00:42:07,595
Heaven here reaches down to disaster and in touching you touches all of earth
362
00:42:08,392 --> 00:42:10,434
Peepstones
363
00:42:12,935 --> 00:42:22,519
Open me Prophet.IIIIam the Book. Read
364
00:42:23,877 --> 00:42:31,150
Wait. Wait. How come I have this, um, erection?
365
00:42:31,229 --> 00:42:37,295
It's very hard to concentrate -The stiffening of your penis is of no consequence
366
00:42:37,978 --> 00:42:42,872
-WeII maybe not to you but... -Read!
367
00:42:48,798 --> 00:43:03,299
You are mere flesh. I I I I am utter flesh, density of desire, the gravity of skin
368
00:43:04,410 --> 00:43:13,100
What makes the engine of creation run? Not physics but ecstatics makes the engine run
369
00:43:13,194 --> 00:43:17,000
Pulse, the pull, the throb, the ooze
370
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,300
Wait, please, excuse me for a minute, just a minute - Priapsis, dilation, engorgement, fIow
371
00:43:21,315 --> 00:43:24,900
The universe aflame with angelic ejaculate
372
00:43:24,931 --> 00:43:29,740
The heavens A-thrum to the seraphic rut, the fiery grapplings
373
00:43:29,937 --> 00:43:37,912
The feathery Joinings of the Higher Orders, infinite, unceasing, the bIood-pump of creation
374
00:43:38,626 --> 00:43:48,210
Holy Estrus! Holy Orifice! Ecstasis in Excelsis!Amen!
375
00:43:54,563 --> 00:43:59,900
Oh God! -The body is the garden of the sou!
376
00:44:00,571 --> 00:44:02,300
What was that?
377
00:44:02,405 --> 00:44:08,200
- Plasma orgasmata -Yeah weII, no doubt
378
00:44:08,225 --> 00:44:12,800
Whoa whoa whoa wait a minute, excuse me please. You fucked this angeI?
379
00:44:12,887 --> 00:44:19,883
She fucked me. She has... WeII, She has eight vaginas
380
00:44:19,996 --> 00:44:27,730
Regina vagina. Hermaphroditically equipped as well with a bouquet of phalli
381
00:44:27,208 --> 00:44:31,100
I I I I am your Released Female Essence Ascendant
382
00:44:31,112 --> 00:44:34,712
- The sexual politics of this are... Very confusing. I know
383
00:44:35,370 --> 00:44:42,716
What gender is God? According to this angel - According to Her, male. God is a...
384
00:44:42,898 --> 00:44:45,700
No shit? Seriously? You don't think that's sorta sexist or misogynistic...
385
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:51,300
He's not an oId man or anything, He's a... From what I gather, He's a Hebrew Ietter
386
00:44:51,338 --> 00:44:54,300
The Aleph giyph. A male Hebrew Ietter
387
00:44:54,305 --> 00:44:56,500
Deus erectus. Pater omnipotens
388
00:44:56,584 --> 00:45:05,300
Each angeI is an infinite aggregate myriad entity, they're basicaIIy incredibly powerful bureaucrats
389
00:45:05,377 --> 00:45:11,600
They have no imagination, they can do anything but they can't invent, create
390
00:45:11,678 --> 00:45:16,468
They're sort of fabulous and dull all at once
391
00:45:16,613 --> 00:45:22,600
And they copulate, ceaselessly, apparently, the angels. They... I mean...
392
00:45:22,610 --> 00:45:25,958
- They get fucked by a Hebrew Ietter- Read on
393
00:45:26,377 --> 00:45:32,100
- When angels cum they make something caIIed... - Piasma orgasmata
394
00:45:32,111 --> 00:45:36,400
-Which makes some other thing caIIed... - Proto matter
395
00:45:36,425 --> 00:45:40,300
- Right. Which is what makes everything else Creation
396
00:45:40,390 --> 00:45:45,200
Heaven's, Iike, a Iot Iivelier than we were Ied to...
397
00:45:45,264 --> 00:45:51,364
Heaven is a city much Iike San Francisco
398
00:45:52,473 --> 00:45:58,545
House upon house depended from hiIIside, from crest down to dockside
399
00:45:58,858 --> 00:46:04,500
The green mirroring bay oh joyful in the buckled garden
400
00:46:04,539 --> 00:46:09,673
Undulant Iandscape over which the threat of seismic catastrophe hangs
401
00:46:10,436 --> 00:46:19,374
More beautiful because imperilled. Potent, yet dormant. The fault Iines of creation
402
00:46:19,879 --> 00:46:26,300
When He, AIeph gIyph, from whom aII words descend, tearing gIyph...
403
00:46:26,366 --> 00:46:32,768
...from auto-generative aII-adoring gaze, He would come down to us ablaze
404
00:46:33,465 --> 00:46:41,300
Then heaven's waIIs would ring with the glad mad moaning of the winged throng
405
00:46:41,312 --> 00:46:47,800
Hot wet fire would flood the cosmos, and igneous gases enflame the voids
406
00:46:47,820 --> 00:46:58,928
And Iights revolve, and spheres resolve, as Aleph burns. He burns forever, He...
407
00:46:59,696 --> 00:47:03,000
- He what? Let's go over to your place - No I don't Iike it there, it's...
408
00:47:03,700 --> 00:47:05,223
And then He changed
409
00:47:07,306 --> 00:47:10,217
- He changed? God?
410
00:47:10,837 --> 00:47:14,400
Changed how, honey? If He's God, how can He...I don't know. But He did
411
00:47:14,434 --> 00:47:19,300
He grew weary of us, our songs and fornications
412
00:47:19,343 --> 00:47:26,646
His angels, who cannot imagine, who Iack that faculty. Made for His pleasure, we can only adore
413
00:47:27,142 --> 00:47:32,300
Seeking something new, He split the world starkly in two
414
00:47:32,330 --> 00:47:37,000
- And made you -When God made people He created division
415
00:47:37,810 --> 00:47:44,400
- Human beings. Uni-genitaiied, female. male. He awakened a potential in the design for change...
416
00:47:44,405 --> 00:47:46,000
-In creating you... -...for random event
417
00:47:46,930 --> 00:47:50,300
...our father-Iover unleashed eternal creation's potential for change
418
00:47:50,379 --> 00:47:54,800
- For movement forward - In you the virus of time began
419
00:47:54,846 --> 00:48:01,800
You think. And you imagine! Migrate! ExpIore...
420
00:48:01,888 --> 00:48:03,200
huh, but... -And when you do...
421
00:48:03,243 --> 00:48:07,500
But so Iike you know none of this is real, right? Paradise itself shivers and splits
422
00:48:07,606 --> 00:48:13,500
I didn't say it was real, I said it was what She told me, and She's, weII...
423
00:48:13,559 --> 00:48:17,100
Each day when you awake... Real enough, I guess, I don't know
424
00:48:17,163 --> 00:48:19,800
As though we are only the dream of you
425
00:48:19,836 --> 00:48:26,872
Everything's come unglued, right? So is this any Iess plausible than...
426
00:48:28,307 --> 00:48:31,500
- Progress! We're not supposed to migrate? To progress?
427
00:48:31,605 --> 00:48:34,266
- Movement! No, but there are consequences
428
00:48:35,602 --> 00:48:39,800
Shaking Him! - When we just move around, heedless of...
429
00:48:37,810 --> 00:48:41,700
When the human race began to traveI, intermingle...
430
00:48:41,799 --> 00:48:46,100
There began to be tremors in Heaven. Earthquakes, or rather...
431
00:48:46,190 --> 00:48:47,900
Intermingle? - Heavenquakes
432
00:48:47,999 --> 00:48:50,767
Are you hearing yourself?
433
00:48:52,172 --> 00:48:58,747
He began to... He who never was begun, was always is and unbegun
434
00:48:59,428 --> 00:49:05,900
He began to leave us. Bored with His angels, bewitched by humanity
435
00:49:05,902 --> 00:49:14,280
In mortifying imitation of you, His Ieast creation, He would sail off on voyages, no knowing where
436
00:49:14,431 --> 00:49:17,800
Quake follows quake, absence follows absence
437
00:49:17,832 --> 00:49:26,718
Nasty chastity and disorganization, Ioss of Iibido, protomatter shortfail
438
00:49:27,724 --> 00:49:30,100
Then... ApriI 18,1906
439
00:49:30,144 --> 00:49:34,100
- In that day It's the great San Francisco earthquake
440
00:49:34,193 --> 00:49:35,400
In that day...
441
00:49:35,676 --> 00:49:44,221
Father-Iover of the miIIion unutterable names, Deus erectus, Pater omnipotens, King of the universe
442
00:49:44,999 --> 00:49:48,500
- He Ieft. He abandoned them
443
00:49:48,654 --> 00:49:50,687
And did not return
444
00:49:51,807 --> 00:49:55,225
We do not know where He has gone. He may never...
445
00:49:55,856 --> 00:50:02,597
And bitter, cast-off, we wait, bewildered
446
00:50:02,685 --> 00:50:09,606
Our finest houses, our sweetest vineyards, made drear and barren, missing Him
447
00:50:11,140 --> 00:50:16,423
Abandoned. I smell a motif
448
00:50:19,376 --> 00:50:21,526
WeII, it occurred to me
449
00:50:22,405 --> 00:50:31,515
The man that got away? And I think the time has come to Iet him go
450
00:50:32,376 --> 00:50:37,340
And then? And then what?
451
00:50:37,497 --> 00:50:40,713
Surely you see towards what we are progressing
452
00:50:41,300 --> 00:50:48,500
The fabric of the sky unravels. Angels hover, anxious fingers worry. The tattered edge
453
00:50:48,565 --> 00:50:55,420
Before the boiling of blood and the searing of skin comes the secret catastrophe
454
00:50:56,389 --> 00:51:01,459
Before Iife on earth becomes finaIIy merely impossible...
455
00:51:01,723 --> 00:51:08,792
...it wiII for a Iong time before have become completely unbearable
456
00:51:10,549 --> 00:51:16,945
You have driven Him away. You must stop moving.
457
00:51:17,450 --> 00:51:19,724
Stop moving?
458
00:51:20,384 --> 00:51:24,300
Forsake the open road. Neither mix nor intermarry
459
00:51:24,321 --> 00:51:29,600
Let deep roots grow. If you do not mingle you will cease to progress
460
00:51:29,642 --> 00:51:33,600
Seek not to fathom the world and its delicate particle Iogic
461
00:51:33,627 --> 00:51:37,771
You cannot understand, you can only destroy
462
00:51:38,133 --> 00:51:42,638
You do not advance, you only trample
463
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:51,200
Poor blind children, abandoned on the earth, groping terrified, misguided...
464
00:51:51,223 --> 00:51:58,327
...over fields of slaughter, over bodies of the slain. Hobble yourselves!
465
00:51:59,623 --> 00:52:08,000
There is no Zion save where you are. If you cannot find your heart's desire in your own backyard...
466
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,822
you never Iost it to begin with
467
00:52:11,861 --> 00:52:19,200
Turn back. Please, please, whatever you are, angel or...
468
00:52:19,229 --> 00:52:25,400
Undo - I'm not a prophet, I'm a sick, Ionely man
469
00:52:25,458 --> 00:52:27,900
- Till He... I don't understand this visitation
470
00:52:27,917 --> 00:52:31,683
TiII He returns again
471
00:52:35,594 --> 00:52:42,813
Stop moving. That's what you want?
472
00:52:43,763 --> 00:52:50,414
Answer me! You want me dead
473
00:52:55,582 --> 00:53:09,908
Uh,huh, weII I... I'm tired. Tired to death of being done to
474
00:53:10,700 --> 00:53:19,700
Infected, fucked-over and tortured by you, by this...
475
00:53:19,718 --> 00:53:32,000
Is this disease, is the virus in me, is that the epistle, is that the prophecy?
476
00:53:32,970 --> 00:53:39,883
Is this just revenge, because we, because you think we ruined...
477
00:53:44,883 --> 00:53:59,460
No. No, I want you to go away, you go away or I wiII, I'II Ieave. I can leave, too
478
00:54:01,556 --> 00:54:08,643
You can't outrun your occupation, Jonah. Hiding from me one place you wiII find me in another
479
00:54:08,978 --> 00:54:13,683
I I I I stop down the road, waiting for you
480
00:54:16,479 --> 00:54:27,160
You know me, Prophet. Your battered heart, bleeding Iife in the universe of wounds
481
00:54:31,190 --> 00:54:36,419
Vessel of the Book now. Oh exempIum paraiyticum
482
00:54:36,468 --> 00:54:46,990
On you in you in your blood we write have written stasis. The end
483
00:55:38,270 --> 00:55:42,608
Uh-huh. I...
484
00:55:44,630 --> 00:55:48,300
-WeII what do you want me to say? - It's nuts
485
00:55:48,347 --> 00:55:54,738
It's worse than nuts, it's.. Don't migrate Don't mingle
486
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:59,920
That's kind of maIevoIent, isn't it, cause some of us didn't exactly choose to migrate
487
00:56:00,298 --> 00:56:06,840
But it is offensive or at Ieast monumentally confused and it's not visited, Prior. By who?
488
00:56:06,460 --> 00:56:09,500
- It is from you, what else is it? Something else
489
00:56:09,572 --> 00:56:11,900
- That's crazy. Then I'm crazy
490
00:56:11,107 --> 00:56:12,900
-No, you're not -Then it was an angeI
491
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:19,756
- It was not an angeI. Then I'm crazy. The whole world is, why not me?
492
00:56:20,459 --> 00:56:28,844
It's 1986 and there's a plague, friends younger than me are dead
493
00:56:28,860 --> 00:56:36,400
And I'm only thirty, and every goddamn morning I wake up and I think Louis is next to me in the bed
494
00:56:36,499 --> 00:56:41,300
And it takes me Iong minutes to remember that this is real
495
00:56:41,372 --> 00:56:50,600
It isn't just an impossible, terrible dream, so maybe yes I'm fIipping out
496
00:56:50,700 --> 00:56:59,162
Stop. This is not dementia. And this is not real
497
00:57:00,203 --> 00:57:07,930
This is just you, Prior, afraid of... Afraid of what's coming. Afraid of time
498
00:57:08,669 --> 00:57:12,400
But see that's just not how it goes, the world doesn't spin backwards
499
00:57:12,441 --> 00:57:20,530
Listen to the world, to how fast it goes
500
00:57:29,397 --> 00:57:37,793
That's New York traffic, baby, that's the sound of energy, the sound of time
501
00:57:37,684 --> 00:57:41,426
Even if you're hurting, it can't go back
502
00:57:43,242 --> 00:57:51,000
You better fucking not fIip out. You hear me? There is no angel. For me?
503
00:57:51,610 --> 00:57:54,100
Whisper into the ear of the world, Prophet
504
00:57:54,147 --> 00:57:59,881
Wash up red in the tide of its dreams, and billow bloody words into the sky of sleep
505
00:58:04,132 --> 00:58:18,360
I'm sorry, baby, I've tried, really, but I can't, it follows me, it won't Iet me go
506
00:58:18,385 --> 00:58:20,514
So maybe I'm a prophet
507
00:58:21,777 --> 00:58:25,900
Not me, alone, all of us, the ones who are dying now
508
00:58:25,984 --> 00:58:31,600
Maybe the virus is the prophecy? Be stiII
509
00:58:31,653 --> 00:58:35,100
Maybe the world has driven God from heaven
510
00:58:35,203 --> 00:58:41,800
Because, because I do believe that... that over and over, I've seen the end of things
511
00:58:41,871 --> 00:58:52,800
And having seen, I'm going blind, as prophets do. Right? It makes a certain sense to me
512
00:58:52,869 --> 00:58:55,500
For this Age of a Anomie, a new Iaw
513
00:58:55,570 --> 00:59:00,600
Delivered this night, this slient night, from heaven, oh Prophet, to you
514
00:59:00,674 --> 00:59:09,490
Oh God how I hate heaven. But I've got no resistance Ieft
515
00:59:15,660 --> 00:59:16,549
Except to run.
516
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:35,000
ACT THREE :Borborygmi
517
00:59:49,127 --> 00:59:54,100
Good, you're out of that nightdress, it was starting to smell
518
00:59:54,143 --> 00:59:57,495
You're teIIing me - Now Iet's slip this on
519
01:00:04,627 --> 01:00:06,100
Good -I hate it
520
01:00:06,145 --> 01:00:08,759
It's pretty. Shoes?
521
01:00:10,847 --> 01:00:13,710
Now Iet's see about the hair
522
01:00:14,510 --> 01:00:19,640
It can be very hard to accept how disappointing Iife is, Harper
523
01:00:19,347 --> 01:00:26,829
Because that's what it is, and you have to accept it. With faith and time and hard work...
524
01:00:26,906 --> 01:00:34,486
...you reach a point where the disappointment doesn't hurt as much, and then it gets easy to live with
525
01:00:34,692 --> 01:00:43,300
Quite easy. Which is in its own way a disappointment. But there
526
01:00:43,327 --> 01:00:48,300
In my oId Iife, my previous Iife,I never used to get up at five a.m. This is a nightmare
527
01:00:48,384 --> 01:00:50,500
-I said I'd open up -You volunteered
528
01:00:50,569 --> 01:00:53,600
- I can't sit around, idle. You just got here, you could sightsee...
529
01:00:53,759 --> 01:00:57,900
- I didn't come for fun. You came to the right place
530
01:00:59,570 --> 01:01:04,809
I Ieave messages for him at work. They say he's not in but I know he is
531
01:01:04,985 --> 01:01:09,000
But he won't take my calls. He's ashamed
532
01:01:09,104 --> 01:01:11,450
She's right. I'II fix myself
533
01:01:11,806 --> 01:01:13,985
I am -And we can go
534
01:01:23,485 --> 01:01:26,800
You're in Iove with him? - I am?
535
01:01:26,928 --> 01:01:31,300
- Don't ask me. Are you? - How're you doing?
536
01:01:31,404 --> 01:01:37,525
Huh. Maybe you're not in Iove with him. If you were, you wouldn't ask me that
537
01:01:37,617 --> 01:01:39,600
You wouldn't be brave enough. You'd know
538
01:01:39,685 --> 01:01:41,200
Joe, you OK? -Yeah, yeah, screwy stomach, nothing
539
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:47,800
Talk softer you're waking him up. I have terrible powers. Maybe I'm a witch
540
01:01:47,980 --> 01:01:51,402
-You're not a... I see more than I want to see. You can't do that
541
01:01:52,257 --> 01:01:56,910
I could be a witch. Why not? I married a fairy
542
01:01:57,144 --> 01:01:59,400
Anything is possible, any awful thing
543
01:01:59,546 --> 01:02:02,650
- Leave, Harper -I knew you'd be with someone
544
01:02:03,870 --> 01:02:07,200
You always talk about how you're so Ionely aII the time, but you've never been alone
545
01:02:07,269 --> 01:02:11,407
Oh that isn't... You don't know. I have feIt very alone
546
01:02:13,843 --> 01:02:15,900
TiII now-Who are you taIking...?
547
01:02:16,350 --> 01:02:17,801
It's nothing. It's nothing. Just go
548
01:02:24,172 --> 01:02:29,500
Morning. Sleep weII? -No. Did you?
549
01:02:29,554 --> 01:02:31,800
SoundIy - How do you manage that?
550
01:02:31,824 --> 01:02:35,000
These fucking dreams, every night. Don't you have...
551
01:02:35,535 --> 01:02:38,400
- I don't dream- Everybody dreams
552
01:02:38,469 --> 01:02:40,921
- I don't. Ever?
553
01:02:41,235 --> 01:02:47,320
Not that I can remember. Not since I started being here, with you
554
01:02:48,112 --> 01:02:50,580
You're a conundrum
555
01:02:50,269 --> 01:02:54,936
Solve me. I'm sorry, that was really weird
556
01:02:56,783 --> 01:02:59,900
You can't solve conundrums, they're bafflements
557
01:03:00,199 --> 01:03:03,870
You can only... Conjecture
558
01:03:05,290 --> 01:03:08,400
So ask me something -Like?
559
01:03:08,459 --> 01:03:14,406
Something you've never asked me before. It should be easy, you haven't asked much
560
01:03:20,146 --> 01:03:20,950
Who are you?
561
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,200
No records, no records, what are you deaf?
562
01:03:30,237 --> 01:03:38,668
I said I have no records for their shitty little committee, it's not how I work ...
563
01:03:49,750 --> 01:03:59,600
Those notes were Iost. Lost. In a fire, water damage, I can't do this any...
564
01:03:59,621 --> 01:04:04,200
I threw up fifteen times today. I counted
565
01:04:04,256 --> 01:04:06,900
What are you Iooking at? Fifteen times. Yeah?
566
01:04:06,961 --> 01:04:10,200
- Hang up the phone, I have to watch you take... The Iimo thing?
567
01:04:10,235 --> 01:04:14,100
Oh for the Iove of Christ I was acquitted twice for that
568
01:04:14,189 --> 01:04:17,400
They're trying to kiII me dead with this harassment
569
01:04:17,473 --> 01:04:25,700
I have done things in my Iife but I never kiIIed anyone. Present company excepted. And you deserved it
570
01:04:25,826 --> 01:04:28,000
Get the fuck outta here
571
01:04:28,156 --> 01:04:34,349
Stall. It can't start tomorrow if we don't show, so don't show, I pay the oId harridan back
572
01:04:34,395 --> 01:04:36,800
-I have to have a... Put down the phone
573
01:04:36,884 --> 01:04:40,800
Suck my dick, Mother Teresa, this is Iife and death
574
01:04:40,827 --> 01:04:47,975
Put down the phone. You touch this phone and I bite. And I got rabies
575
01:04:49,376 --> 01:04:51,500
And from now on, I supply my own piIIs
576
01:04:51,608 --> 01:04:55,681
I already told`em to push their jujubes to the Iosers down the haII
577
01:04:55,688 --> 01:04:56,800
Your own piIIs
578
01:04:56,947 --> 01:05:02,736
No double blind. A IittIe bird warned me. The vultures are...
579
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:14,984
Jesus God these cramps, now I know why women go beserk once a... Ah fuck!
580
01:05:16,234 --> 01:05:18,448
Oh good, I made her Iaugh
581
01:05:19,927 --> 01:05:22,300
I don't trust this hospital. For aII I know...
582
01:05:22,384 --> 01:05:28,130
...LiIIian fucking HeIIman is down in the basement switching the piIIs around
583
01:05:29,158 --> 01:05:34,900
No, wait, she's dead, isn't she? Oh boy, memory, it's...
584
01:05:34,988 --> 01:05:38,500
Hey, EtheI, didn't LiIIian die, did you see her up there?
585
01:05:38,518 --> 01:05:43,601
Ugly, ugly broad, nose Iike a... Iike even a Jew should worry mit a punim Iike that
586
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:49,200
You seen somebody fitting that description up there in Red Heaven? Hah?
587
01:05:51,636 --> 01:05:56,917
She won't talk to me. She thinks she's some sort of a deathwatch or something
588
01:05:56,947 --> 01:05:59,910
Who are you talking to?
589
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,981
I'm seIf-medicating
590
01:06:03,296 --> 01:06:07,100
With what?- Acid something
591
01:06:07,157 --> 01:06:09,832
- Azidothymedine? Gesundheit
592
01:06:11,272 --> 01:06:13,367
AZT? You got……?
593
01:06:19,275 --> 01:06:23,179
One-hundred-proof eIixir vitae. Give me the key
594
01:06:23,191 --> 01:06:25,333
- You scored - Impressively
595
01:06:25,393 --> 01:06:29,600
Lifetime supply. There are maybe thirty people in the whole country getting this drug
596
01:06:29,655 --> 01:06:33,549
- Now there are thirty-one -There are a hundred thousand people who need it
597
01:06:34,766 --> 01:06:42,544
Look at you. The dragon atop the golden horde. It's not fair, is it?
598
01:06:42,769 --> 01:06:48,486
No, but as Jimmy Carter said, neither is Iife. And then we shipped him back to his peanut plantation
599
01:06:49,204 --> 01:06:54,800
Put your brown eyes back in your goddamn head, baby, it's the history of the world
600
01:06:54,833 --> 01:06:58,100
I didn't write it, though I flatter myself I am a footnote
601
01:06:58,196 --> 01:07:02,300
And you are a nurse, so minister and skedaddle
602
01:07:02,375 --> 01:07:05,605
If you Iive fifty more years you won't swaIIow aII these piIIs
603
01:07:06,973 --> 01:07:10,000
- I want some. That's iIIegaI
604
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,400
- Ten bottles- I'm gonna report you
605
01:07:12,470 --> 01:07:15,709
There's a nursing shortage. I'm in a union. I'm real scared
606
01:07:16,648 --> 01:07:21,000
- I have friends who need them. Bad- Loyalty I admire
607
01:07:21,370 --> 01:07:22,400
- But no- Why?
608
01:07:22,451 --> 01:07:27,300
Because you repulse me. Why? You'll be begging for it next. Why?
609
01:07:27,333 --> 01:07:31,500
Because I hate your guts,and your friends' guts, that's why
610
01:07:31,568 --> 01:07:36,300
Gimme!' So goddamned entitled. Such a shock when the biII comes due
611
01:07:36,381 --> 01:07:39,200
From what I read you never paid a fucking biII in your Iife
612
01:07:39,279 --> 01:07:43,900
Nobody has worked harder than me. To end up knocked flat in a...
613
01:07:43,916 --> 01:07:47,200
-Yeah weII things are tough aII over-And you come here Iooking for fairness?
614
01:07:47,226 --> 01:07:52,100
They couIdn't touch me when I was aIive, and now when I'm dying they try this
615
01:07:52,136 --> 01:07:58,806
Now! When I'm a... That`s fair? What am I? A dead man
616
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,798
Fuck! What was I saying?
617
01:08:07,651 --> 01:08:18,191
Oh God I can't remember any... Oh yeah, dead. I'm a goddamn dead man
618
01:08:18,341 --> 01:08:20,564
You expect pity?
619
01:08:22,982 --> 01:08:27,808
I expect you to hand over that key and move your nigger ass out of my room
620
01:08:29,191 --> 01:08:30,900
What did you say?
621
01:08:30,911 --> 01:08:36,000
- Move your nigger cunt spade faggot Iackey ass... - Shit-for-brains fiIthy-mouthed motherfucking...
622
01:08:36,450 --> 01:08:39,700
out of my room. Mongrel. Dinge. Slave. Ape ...cowardly cocksucking cloven-hoofed pig.
623
01:08:39,742 --> 01:08:42,704
Kike - Now you're talking! - You greedy kike
624
01:08:43,159 --> 01:08:50,435
Now you can have a bottle. But only one
625
01:09:05,815 --> 01:09:13,301
God! I thought he'd never go
626
01:09:17,879 --> 01:09:21,500
So what? Are you going to sit there aII night? TiII morning
627
01:09:21,539 --> 01:09:28,907
- Uh-huh. The cock crows, you go back to the swamp - No. I take the 7:05 to Yonkers
628
01:09:29,749 --> 01:09:34,666
- What the fuck's in Yonkers? -The disbarment committee hearings
629
01:09:34,881 --> 01:09:38,600
You been hocking about it all week. I`II have a Iook-see
630
01:09:38,624 --> 01:09:43,657
They won't Iet you in the front door. You're a convicted and executed traitor
631
01:09:44,468 --> 01:09:47,140
I walk through a waII
632
01:09:56,575 --> 01:10:03,290
Fucking succubus! Fucking bIood-sucking old bat!
633
01:10:23,617 --> 01:10:29,200
The worst thing about being sick in America, Ethei, is you are booted out of the parade
634
01:10:30,625 --> 01:10:38,352
Americans have no use for sick. Look at Reagan. He's so healthy he's hardly human
635
01:10:39,396 --> 01:10:42,300
He's a hundred if he's a day. He takes a slug in his chest...
636
01:10:42,357 --> 01:10:46,152
...and two days Iater he's out west riding ponies in his PJs
637
01:10:48,558 --> 01:11:02,496
I mean who does that? That's America. It's just no country for the infirm
638
01:11:33,882 --> 01:11:37,150
This is the Diorama Room
639
01:11:37,613 --> 01:11:40,200
I thought we agreed that you weren't...
640
01:11:41,684 --> 01:11:43,997
I go see if I can get it started
641
01:12:05,968 --> 01:12:08,800
Welcome to the Mormon Visitors-Center Diorama Room
642
01:12:08,853 --> 01:12:13,200
In a moment, our show wiII begin. We hope it wiII have a special message for you
643
01:12:13,289 --> 01:12:17,388
Please refrain from smoking, and food and drink are not allowed
644
01:12:24,928 --> 01:12:27,150
They're having trouble with the machinery
645
01:12:29,979 --> 01:12:35,978
- No, you're not supposed to eat here - I can. I Iive here
646
01:12:37,247 --> 01:12:48,615
- Have we met before? No, I don't think so. You Iive here?
647
01:12:48,675 --> 01:12:52,500
There's a dummy famlly in the diorama, you'll see when the curtain opens
648
01:12:52,514 --> 01:12:56,000
The main dummy, the big daddydummy, Iooks Iike my husband, Joe
649
01:12:56,790 --> 01:12:59,900
When they push the buttons he'll start to talk. You can't believe a word he says...
650
01:12:59,937 --> 01:13:04,257
...but the sound of him is reassuring. It's an incredible resemblance
651
01:13:04,944 --> 01:13:06,500
Are you a Mormon?
652
01:13:06,617 --> 01:13:09,300
Jack Mormon I beg your pardon?
653
01:13:09,392 --> 01:13:15,706
Jack Mormon. It means I'm fIawed. Inferior Mormon product
654
01:13:16,459 --> 01:13:21,104
Probably comes from jack rabbit, you know, I ran
655
01:13:21,552 --> 01:13:31,800
Do you believe in angels? In the AngeI Mormon. Moroni, not Mormon, The AngeI Moroni
656
01:13:31,883 --> 01:13:35,900
Ask my mother-in-Iaw, when you leave, the scary Iady at the reception desk
657
01:13:35,935 --> 01:13:41,729
If its name was Moroni, then why don't they call themselves Morons?
658
01:13:43,710 --> 01:13:50,170
It's from comments Iike that you can teII I'm jack. You're not a Mormon
659
01:13:50,317 --> 01:13:54,580
- No, I...Just distracted with grief
660
01:13:56,185 --> 01:14:00,300
I'm not. I was just walking and...
661
01:14:00,415 --> 01:14:04,200
We get a Iot of distracted, grief-stricken people here. It's our specialty
662
01:14:04,265 --> 01:14:11,200
- I'm not distracted, I'm doing research. On Mormons?
663
01:14:11,297 --> 01:14:16,828
On angels. I'm a... an angelologist
664
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:22,800
-I never met an angeioiogist before. It's an obscure discipline
665
01:14:22,896 --> 01:14:26,000
I can imagine. AngeIoIogy. The field work must be rigorous
666
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:31,412
You'd have to drop dead before you saw your first specimen
667
01:14:37,488 --> 01:14:47,400
One... I saw one. An angel. It crashed through my bedroom ceiling
668
01:14:47,435 --> 01:14:51,700
Huh. That sort of thing always happens to me
669
01:14:53,209 --> 01:14:57,328
I have a fever. I should be in bed but I'm too anxious to Iie in bed
670
01:14:57,603 --> 01:15:03,197
You Iook very familiar. So do you. But...
671
01:15:04,158 --> 01:15:07,400
But it's just not possible. I don't get out. I've only ever been here
672
01:15:07,413 --> 01:15:13,672
Or in somewhere a Iot Iike this, alone, in the dark, waiting for the dummy
673
01:15:27,209 --> 01:15:32,900
In 1847, across fifteen hundred miles of frontier wilderness...
674
01:15:32,946 --> 01:15:37,550
Braving mountain blizzards, desert storms, and renegade Indians...
675
01:15:37,648 --> 01:15:43,936
...the first Mormon wagon trains made their difficult way towards the Kingdom of God
676
01:15:45,290 --> 01:15:47,186
Want some Nacho-flavored...
677
01:15:49,209 --> 01:15:51,335
Hello Joe
678
01:15:53,487 --> 01:15:57,581
- Father, I'm a-feared. Hush, Caleb
679
01:15:57,659 --> 01:16:02,500
- The wilderness is so vast. Orrin, Caleb, hush
680
01:16:02,576 --> 01:16:06,161
Be brave for your mother and your little sister
681
01:16:06,419 --> 01:16:12,182
They don't have any lines, the mother and the sister. And only his face moves. That's not really fair
682
01:16:13,563 --> 01:16:16,100
When will we arrive in Zion, Father?
683
01:16:16,161 --> 01:16:22,860
Never. You`ll die of snake bite, and your brother Iooks like scorpion food to me
684
01:16:23,624 --> 01:16:27,400
...Iust Iike the Prophet promised. The Lord leads the way
685
01:16:27,475 --> 01:16:29,200
Will there be lots to eat there, father
686
01:16:29,293 --> 01:16:35,500
No. Just sand. Oh, there's a big lake but it's salt
687
01:16:35,558 --> 01:16:37,800
That's the joke. They drag you on your knees through hell...
688
01:16:37,937 --> 01:16:41,400
...and when you get there the water of course is undrinkable.
689
01:16:41,504 --> 01:16:44,760
It's a Promised Land, but what a disappointing promise
690
01:16:44,995 --> 01:16:49,900
Read to us, father, read us the Story Again?
691
01:16:49,961 --> 01:16:55,665
Yes, yes! The Story. The Stroy. The story about the Prophet
692
01:16:55,777 --> 01:17:04,400
Well, boys, well. 1823, the Prophet, who was a strapping lad, Iike everyone else in his time...
693
01:17:04,410 --> 01:17:10,800
...was seeking God. There were many churches, disputatious enough, but who was right?
694
01:17:10,875 --> 01:17:15,976
Could only be One True Church. All else darkness
695
01:17:16,229 --> 01:17:21,100
OK yeah, but then answer me this. How can a fundamentalist theocratic religion...
696
01:17:21,168 --> 01:17:26,000
...function participatorily in a pluratist secular democracy?
697
01:17:26,106 --> 01:17:32,100
I can't believe you're a Mormon! I can't believe I have spent two whole weeks in bed with a Mormon
698
01:17:32,128 --> 01:17:35,300
Coutd you talk a little softer, I...-Are you busy?
699
01:17:35,306 --> 01:17:38,000
I'm working. and it's closer to three weeks, almost, it's...
700
01:17:38,610 --> 01:17:41,101
But you're a Iawyer. A serious Iawyer
701
01:17:41,587 --> 01:17:47,713
Oh my God! What is going on here? You know him?
702
01:17:49,215 --> 01:17:51,497
I'm delirious. I must be delirious
703
01:17:52,312 --> 01:17:58,505
Jesus, Mormons everywhere, it's like Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I don't Iike cults
704
01:17:58,990 --> 01:18:02,700
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is not a cult
705
01:18:02,723 --> 01:18:07,300
Any religion that is not at Ieast two thousand years old is a cult
706
01:18:07,364 --> 01:18:12,104
And I know people who would call that generous
707
01:18:13,900 --> 01:18:18,816
-Are you upset about anything? Oh, you noticed? Yeah, I am
708
01:18:18,908 --> 01:18:21,600
What is he doing in there?
709
01:18:21,287 --> 01:18:23,700
Who? The little creep? He's in and out every day
710
01:18:23,799 --> 01:18:27,500
I hate him. He's got absotutety nothing to do with the story
711
01:18:27,925 --> 01:18:32,146
You seem so unbothered by what you did, and that's terrible, too
712
01:18:32,225 --> 01:18:39,550
But you're so decent and openly kind and truly sweet in bed
713
01:18:39,681 --> 01:18:44,707
And I don't see how that's possible, but with you it seems to be, so, so...
714
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:50,300
You're part of that Political Party, -that's one half religious zealot control-freak theocrats...- Can you turn it off? I'm leaving.I can't.
715
01:18:50,300 --> 01:18:52,300
and the other half ego-anarchist
716
01:18:52,349 --> 01:18:57,797
libetarian cowboys, you've had a lot of practice straddling...
717
01:18:59,359 --> 01:19:02,653
Louis!
718
01:19:03,615 --> 01:19:04,700
-Did you... -What?
719
01:19:04,759 --> 01:19:10,300
I thought I heard... Fucking hell. We need to tatk
720
01:19:10,383 --> 01:19:17,518
- I can't leave the office in the middle of the... Fuck work! This is a crisis. Now
721
01:19:18,972 --> 01:19:25,000
Oh! But he... The dummy never left with the little creep, he never left before
722
01:19:25,100 --> 01:19:28,465
When they come in and they see he's gone, they'll blame me
723
01:19:30,786 --> 01:19:37,145
You shouldn't do that in here, this isn't a place for real feelings, this is just story time here. Stop it
724
01:19:37,812 --> 01:19:43,165
I never imagined losing my mind was going to be such hard work
725
01:19:43,639 --> 01:19:47,000
Oh, it is. Find someplace else to be miserable in
726
01:19:47,990 --> 01:19:49,400
This is my place and I don't want you to do that here
727
01:19:49,404 --> 01:19:57,529
I just saw my lover, my ex-lover, with a... with your husband
728
01:19:58,424 --> 01:20:04,000
With that window-display Ken doll, in that thing, I saw him, I...
729
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:11,912
OK, don't have a hissy fit, I told you it wasn't working right, it's just the magic of the theater or something
730
01:20:12,177 --> 01:20:17,636
Listen, if you see the little creep, tell him to bring Joe... to bring the mannequin back
731
01:20:18,149 --> 01:20:20,400
They'll evict me and this is it, it may look Iike nothing...
732
01:20:20,440 --> 01:20:24,100
...but it's the last place on earth for me. I can't go sit in Brooklyn
733
01:20:24,141 --> 01:20:28,300
What on earth is going... What did you do to him?
734
01:20:28,391 --> 01:20:33,945
Nothing. He just can't adjust, is all, he just... No wait, don't
735
01:20:39,287 --> 01:20:41,600
Oh. Look. We imagined it
736
01:20:41,776 --> 01:20:45,100
This is a favor, they Iet me work here as a favor
737
01:20:45,253 --> 01:20:50,300
But you keep making scenes. And look at this mess, it's a garbage scow
738
01:20:50,466 --> 01:20:53,400
It doesn't look so much like him anymore. He's changed again
739
01:20:53,598 --> 01:20:59,000
You sound just Iike him. You even grind your teeth in your sleep like him
740
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:04,606
If I could get him to come back, I'll go back to Salt Lake.. You can't go back to Salt Lake, you sold your house
741
01:21:04,650 --> 01:21:08,800
My mother-in-law sold her house. Her son calls and tells her he's a homo and what does she do?
742
01:21:08,832 --> 01:21:12,300
She sells her house. And she calls me crazy
743
01:21:12,321 --> 01:21:15,810
You have Iess of a place in this world than I do if that's possible
744
01:21:15,821 --> 01:21:18,926
Am I dreaming this, I don't understand
745
01:21:19,901 --> 01:21:24,400
He's an angelologist.- That's his business
746
01:21:24,521 --> 01:21:31,662
- He saw an angel Don't go blabbing about it - Either that or he's nuts
747
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:35,317
If you aren't serious you shouldn't come in here
748
01:21:35,879 --> 01:21:42,357
It's a visitors center, I'm visiting - He has a point
749
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:47,867
This is a serious religion
750
01:21:48,399 --> 01:21:51,900
- Do they Iike, pay you to do this? She volunteers
751
01:21:51,980 --> 01:21:58,300
Because you're not very hospitable. I did see an angel
752
01:21:58,369 --> 01:22:02,519
And what do you want me to do about it? I have problems of my own
753
01:22:03,207 --> 01:22:09,951
The diorama is closed for repairs. You have to leave. Clean up this mess
754
01:22:22,321 --> 01:22:24,637
Oh God, I'm exhausted
755
01:22:25,881 --> 01:22:28,938
You don't look well. You really should be home in bed
756
01:22:29,437 --> 01:22:34,790
- I'll die there - Better in bed than on the street. Just ask anyone
757
01:22:36,536 --> 01:22:39,373
Maybe you should leave, too
758
01:22:39,910 --> 01:22:42,900
I'm waiting. For what?
759
01:22:42,925 --> 01:22:52,832
His wife. His mute wife. I'm waiting for her to speak. Bet her story's not so jolly
760
01:23:04,742 --> 01:23:08,496
Dreaming used to be so safe
761
01:23:09,898 --> 01:23:18,762
It isn't, though, it's dangerous, imagining to excess. It can blow up in your face
762
01:23:19,921 --> 01:23:28,467
Threshold of revelation. Till we meet again
763
01:23:48,108 --> 01:23:56,710
Bitter Iady of the plains, talk to me. Tell me what to do
764
01:24:38,571 --> 01:24:45,519
Look at us. So perfect in place
765
01:24:46,101 --> 01:24:53,363
The desert, the mountains, the previous century
766
01:24:54,851 --> 01:25:03,839
Maybe I could have believed in you then. Maybe we should never have moved east
767
01:25:08,438 --> 01:25:17,652
- I'm stuck. My heart's an anchor Leave it, then. Can't carry no extra weight
768
01:25:19,755 --> 01:25:22,819
Was it a hard thing, crossing the prairies?
769
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:30,326
You ain't stupid. So don't ask stupid. Ask something for real
770
01:25:32,117 --> 01:25:39,636
In your experience of the world, how do people change?
771
01:25:40,610 --> 01:25:44,153
Well it has something to do with God so it's not very nice
772
01:25:44,964 --> 01:25:49,839
God splits the skin with a tagged thumbnail from throat to belly...
773
01:25:49,841 --> 01:25:53,266
...and then plunges a huge filthy hand in
774
01:25:53,432 --> 01:25:58,600
He grabs hold of your bloody tubes and they slip to evade his grasp
775
01:25:58,656 --> 01:26:08,175
But he squeezes hard, he insists, he putts and putts till all your innards are yanked out
776
01:26:08,501 --> 01:26:13,645
And the pain! We can't even talk about that
777
01:26:13,757 --> 01:26:22,875
And then he stuffs them back, dirty, tangled and torn. It's up to you to do the stitching
778
01:26:23,208 --> 01:26:29,812
-And then get up. And walk around. Just mangled guts pretending
779
01:26:32,404 --> 01:26:35,616
That's how people change
780
01:27:14,644 --> 01:27:16,990
The winter Attantic. Wow, huh?
781
01:27:17,989 --> 01:27:21,171
There used to be guys in the dunes even when it snowed
782
01:27:21,488 --> 01:27:26,990
- Nothing deterred us from the task at hand - Which was?
783
01:27:27,516 --> 01:27:36,882
Exploration. Across an unmapped terrain. The body of the homosexual human male
784
01:27:36,510 --> 01:27:42,500
Here, or the Ramble, or the scrub pines on Fire Island, or the St Mark's Baths
785
01:27:42,557 --> 01:27:48,500
Hardy pioneers. Like your ancestors - Not exactly
786
01:27:48,596 --> 01:27:56,938
And many have perished on the trait. I fucked around a lot more than he did. No justice
787
01:27:58,410 --> 01:28:01,691
I love it when you can get to places and see what it used to be
788
01:28:02,284 --> 01:28:06,700
- The whole country was Iike this once. A paradise - Ruined now
789
01:28:06,701 --> 01:28:12,000
It's still a great country. Best place on earth. Best place to be
790
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:17,320
Oy, a Mormon- You never asked
791
01:28:17,566 --> 01:28:24,300
So what else haven't you told me, Joe? So that fruity underwear you wear, that's...?
792
01:28:24,379 --> 01:28:29,200
A tempte garment - Oh my God. What's it for?
793
01:28:29,211 --> 01:28:36,300
Protection. A second skin. I can stop wearing it if you...
794
01:28:36,327 --> 01:28:41,400
How can you stop wearing it if it's a skin? Your past, your beliefs, your...
795
01:28:41,472 --> 01:28:48,125
I know how you feel, I keep expecting divine retribution for this, but I'm actually happy
796
01:28:48,187 --> 01:28:53,665
- Actually You're not happy, that's ridiculous, no one is happy
797
01:28:54,339 --> 01:28:59,700
What am I doing? With you? With anyone! I should be exterminated but with you...
798
01:28:59,750 --> 01:29:07,306
I mean politically, and you're probably bisexual, and I mean I really like you a lot, but...
799
01:29:07,726 --> 01:29:14,323
So, Iike, this is kind of hot. Shut up, OK?
800
01:29:25,413 --> 01:29:29,225
You know why you find the world so unsatisfying?
801
01:29:29,270 --> 01:29:31,800
Because you believe it's perfectible. No I...
802
01:29:31,823 --> 01:29:37,600
You tell yourself you don't, but you do, you cling on to fantasies of perfection and kindliness...
803
01:29:37,691 --> 01:29:40,800
...and you never face the sorrow of the world, its bitterness
804
01:29:40,876 --> 01:29:43,500
- The parts of it that are bitter Huh
805
01:29:43,579 --> 01:29:48,895
You have to reconcile yourself to the world's unperfectibility
806
01:29:49,213 --> 01:29:53,889
Reconcile. And how do you do that?
807
01:29:55,364 --> 01:30:01,876
By being thoroughly in the world but not of it
808
01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:05,600
You mean Iike an Emersonian kind of thing?
809
01:30:05,642 --> 01:30:12,983
I don't see how that's workable, practical, given, you know, emotions and... Oh my God
810
01:30:13,601 --> 01:30:17,900
You have to accept that we're not put here to make the entire earth into a heaven, you have to accept we can't
811
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:21,700
And accept as rightfully yours the happiness that comes your way
812
01:30:21,786 --> 01:30:28,793
But... Rightfully? That's so... Republican!
813
01:30:31,789 --> 01:30:34,826
Bite my nipple again
814
01:30:41,239 --> 01:30:47,100
No, wait, fuck, I'm Iike Iost in an ideological leather bar with you
815
01:30:47,109 --> 01:30:54,000
I want my clarity back, what little I ever possessed, it's been stolen by...
816
01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:57,500
- I mean, I mean I wish you weren't so... Conservative?
817
01:30:57,539 --> 01:31:01,900
No. So fucking gorgeous. And conservative
818
01:31:01,907 --> 01:31:06,500
Though if you were gorgeous and your politics didn't horrifically suck I'd really be in trouble here
819
01:31:06,518 --> 01:31:13,200
But yes, I do sort of wish you weren't responsibte for everything bad and evil in the world
820
01:31:13,299 --> 01:31:18,904
-You give me way too much credit - Right, I mean, Reagan deserves his fair share
821
01:31:18,934 --> 01:31:19,981
You're obsessed, you know that?
822
01:31:20,458 --> 01:31:25,780
If people like you didn't have President Reagan to demonize, where would you be?
823
01:31:25,138 --> 01:31:29,000
If he didn't have people Iike me to demonize, where would he be?
824
01:31:29,910 --> 01:31:32,500
Upper-right-hand square on The Hollywood Square
825
01:31:32,575 --> 01:31:35,900
- I am not your enemy. Louis - I never said you were
826
01:31:36,100 --> 01:31:39,997
Fundamentally, we both want the same thing
827
01:31:41,627 --> 01:31:44,327
I don't think that's true - It is
828
01:31:45,641 --> 01:31:51,100
What you did... When you walked out on him, that was, it must've been hard. To do that
829
01:31:51,168 --> 01:31:55,859
The world may not understand or approve. But you did what you needed to do
830
01:31:56,334 --> 01:32:05,100
And since I first met you, I consider you very brave. I don't think I've ever met anyone as...
831
01:32:05,282 --> 01:32:10,949
Nobody does what I did, Joe. Nobody. But maybe many want to
832
01:32:11,611 --> 01:32:18,605
This is so... This isn't... But tough
833
01:32:18,827 --> 01:32:21,800
-I am maybe falling in... No you're not
834
01:32:21,839 --> 01:32:25,433
Don't Iaugh at that. Don't say that. I am
835
01:32:25,722 --> 01:32:29,500
I'm falling in... -You're not! You can't be, it's only been two weeks
836
01:32:29,552 --> 01:32:32,500
No, it's three actually, and what difference does that...
837
01:32:32,594 --> 01:32:39,329
- I've never felt so happy, so hungry... -That's the gay virgin thing
838
01:32:39,569 --> 01:32:44,500
You and I, Louis, we're the same. We are. We both want the same thing. We both...
839
01:32:44,606 --> 01:32:47,434
I want to see Prior again
840
01:32:50,786 --> 01:32:52,900
I miss him, I... -You want to go back to...?
841
01:32:52,911 --> 01:32:58,800
I just have to see him again. It's Iike a bubble rising through rock
842
01:32:58,837 --> 01:33:07,590
It's taken time, these weeks, with you, but... Don't you? You must want to see your wife
843
01:33:09,506 --> 01:33:18,500
I miss her, I feel bad for her, I'm afraid of her - Yes
844
01:33:18,577 --> 01:33:23,000
-And I want more to be with you -I have to see him
845
01:33:23,410 --> 01:33:25,600
Piease don't look so sad. Do you understand what I...
846
01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:29,800
You don't want to see me anymore. Louis, anything
847
01:33:29,875 --> 01:33:34,369
- What? -Anything. Whatever you want. I can give up anything
848
01:33:36,817 --> 01:33:39,367
OK. My skin
849
01:33:40,873 --> 01:33:49,777
What are you doing! Someone will see us. It's not a nude beach, it's freezing
850
01:34:03,217 --> 01:34:07,948
I'm flayed. No past now. I could give up anything
851
01:34:08,340 --> 01:34:12,000
Maybe in what we've been doing, maybe I'm even infected
852
01:34:12,390 --> 01:34:13,500
- No you're... - I'm so afraid of that
853
01:34:13,591 --> 01:34:17,200
Of things I never knew I'd ever be afraid of, things I didn't even know existed until we...
854
01:34:17,210 --> 01:34:19,500
I'm afraid, now, maybe for the first time, really scared
855
01:34:19,540 --> 01:34:23,800
Because I don't want to be sick. I want to live now. Maybe for the first time ever
856
01:34:23,825 --> 01:34:29,000
And I can be anything, anything I need to be. And I want to be with you
857
01:34:29,460 --> 01:34:32,900
You have a good heart and you think the good thing is to be guilty and kind always
858
01:34:32,929 --> 01:34:34,700
But it's not always kind to be gentle and soft
859
01:34:34,784 --> 01:34:37,600
There's a genuine violence softness and weakness visit on people
860
01:34:37,670 --> 01:34:38,952
You ought to think about that -I will
861
01:34:39,267 --> 01:34:43,793
You ought to think about what you're doing to me
862
01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:55,180
What you need. Think about what you need. Be brave
863
01:35:02,149 --> 01:35:05,191
And then you'll come back to me
864
01:35:13,778 --> 01:35:16,119
You'll come back to me
865
01:35:33,498 --> 01:35:37,000
Wait, I have a mouthfut of pills and water
866
01:35:37,480 --> 01:35:40,409
Prior? It's Lou
867
01:35:43,116 --> 01:35:45,103
I want to see you
