All language subtitles for I Love Dick s01e01 Pilot

Hello? Geico?

Yeah, I was just talking about
your emergency roadside service,

and then our car overheated.

You're not gonna
believe this but...

it's in a tree.

I wish I was joking, mate,

but it's literally
stuck in a tree.

Announcer:
Geico's emergency roadside
service is there for you.

Woman: I'm just saying,

we gotta be out of here
in, like-- in, like,
four hours tops.

I'm not
holding you back.

Where's the copy
of "Sisyphus"?

Babe, you're bringing
too many books.

The institute has
a library, right?

- [knocking]
- Oh, shit, that's her.

Uh-- Okay, that's--

- Oh.
- The girl, the girl.

- Will you get the door?
- The subletter.

- Okay, just-- Hey.
- Hi.

We're literally leaving
this afternoon.

- Oh, yeah, yeah.
- It's usually not like this.

- Oh.
- Silvert. This is,
uh, uh--

- Hi, Silvert.
- What? Hi.

Please tell me
your name again.

- Esther.
- Esther, Esther, Esther.

- Esther, hi.
- Nice to meet you.

- Esther.
- Wow, you guys.

- Yeah, this is the bedroom.
- Esther. Esther Williams.

Oh, yeah,
this is my office.

- Wow. You guys are going to--
- I'm sorry.

Marfa?

- Yeah, Marfa--
Marfa, Texas.
- Oh, cool. Wow.

Yeah, there's a--
this institute started by
this guy, Dick Jarrett.

People get invited to
read and write and think.

My husband, Silvert,
he's got a residency there,

so, uh, I'm gonna just
drop him off,

and then I'm gonna go
straight to Venice, Italy.

- Wow.
- 'Cause I've got a-- a film

in the--
in the festival there.

- Wow. Congratulations.
- Which is really exciting,
yeah.

- That's huge.
- So, yeah.

You know, in Venice,
I'm gonna do one of
those gondolas.

- Oh, sure. You've got to.
- Right?

Yeah. I mean,
you haven't been there
if you don't do it.

I mean, there really is
nothing sadder than

a single rider
on a gondola.

No, that's-- You can't
look at it like that.

- Why?
- It's how you get around.

It's a mode of
transportation.

It's like an Uber.

Okay.
Don't let me eat anymore.

I won't.

Put 'em away.

- Here, let me have
one more bite--
- No.

- And then I won't have any--
- No! Oh, come on.

You know what I want to do
when we get to Tennessee.

I want to go to Dollywood.

We're not stopping
anywhere in Tennessee.

Oh, you know what?
I just--

I just remembered.

They have a rule that
you're not allowed in

unless you have
enormous tits.

[sarcastic laugh]

So you'll have to
wait in the car.

Look, look, look!

My darlin',

we made it to
motherfuckin' Marfa.

Is it weird that
this is not at all
what I expected?

Yeah, it's like your
fuckin' Amish.

It sucks.

[grunts]

Hey, honey!

Did you pack
thelapsang souchong tea?

- What the fuck?
- What?

Motherfuckin' Venice

said they're pullin'
the film. Why?

I mean, over-- You know,
it's over the rights to
that fuckin' song.

Do you remember that
stupid fuckin' bossa nova
klezmer smash that I used?

- Mm-hm.
- That I-- I fuckin'--

I fuckin' pulled that shit
from obscurity!

I was gonna give
those dipshits publicity,
and they're--

Where's the mail bag?

Where's that mail bag?

Those assholes.

They must--
You know what?

They must--
They must have
CC'd the festival

on that cease
and desist letter.

'Cause it fuckin' went
right to the festival.

You got sent a cease
and desist letter

from the song people and
you used the song anyway?

Really?

- What?
- Fuck you!

- That's nice.
- Very unhelpful!

You're gonna take--
You're gonna take their
fuckin' side on this!

Why don't you just
go back to New York,

and re-master the film?

- Okay?
- The post house is
holding it hostage.

They've got
the fuckin' master,

because
I couldn't afford to pay for
the bullshit sound mix.

- Right.
- This is like you
don't even listen,

you don't even
give a shit.

- [indistinct dialog]
- [train whistle blowing]

** [Woman singing

[panting]

[Woman continues singing]

Hey!

Hi. Mornin'.

- Really windy out there,
I was just--
- Yeah, I know.

I don't usually--

Well, wake up
in the morning and--

But you just shouldn't smoke
anywhere outside.

Presidio County
Sheriff's Department

not fuckin' cool
with that, okay?

They don't like the artists.
It's no joke.

Great, okay.

I'm not a wake and baker,
I just--

Today I woke and
wanted to smoke.

I got some shitty news.

Hey, I'm Chris. Sorry.
I, um-- Hi.

- Devon.
- Devon.

Living, uh,
right over there, so--

Next door.
Yeah, I know who you are.

You're Dick's
new fellow's wife.

I work for the institute
so I take care of everything
around here.

- Oh, great.
- So if you need anything

fixed or whatever,
you know,

handy dandy Mandy.

Oh, so you're like--

You are actually
the person that

I should be
speaking with.

The, uh, fridge
is not working over there,

and neither is
the-- the stove.

Oh, yeah.
I just didn't know you guys
were comin' in so soon.

I didn't get a chance--
But, I'll get to it.

Sit down.
Make yourself at home.

Have a seat.

[exhales]
Oof.

Oh.
The shoes are cute.

Uh, they're real bright
but they ain't right.

Uh, you got some boots?

You know,
'cause we got rattlers.

And scorpions.

What size are you?

- Eight and a half?
- Yeah.

Well, how long you
lived in Marfa?

Oh, I've been here
my whole life.

- Really?
- My family's been here
forever, you know,

my great grandparents
came here in 1910.

Deep roots.

Yeah. Here.

Those'll do ya.

This is an honest to God
cowboy boot.

Oh, hell, yeah.

I'll get 'em back to you,
but it's not gonna be long.

Don't sweat it.
Whenever.

You know,
I'm around, you're around.

Oh, I had some plans and
then they just kind of, um--

Things kind of whoosh.

Yeah?

Shit's disappointing, huh?

Ugh, I so do not want to
go to this reception.

Just, like, an hour,
okay?

I gotcha, baby.

[indistinct chatter]

I think I see Dick.

So why don't you
fetch us some wine.

Okay, not long, please.

[indistinct chatter]

Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm-- I'm Sookie.

This is Jeff.

- I'm Chris. Hi.
- Oh. Hello, Chris.

Join the party.
What are you doing here?

My husband has a--
a residency.

- He's one of
Dick's new fellows.
- He's Dick's new fellow.

- Yeah.
- Nice.

I guess he is
Dick's new fellow.

- Oh.
- Have you met Dick yet?

No, I have not
met Dick yet.

Oh, there he is.
Look right over there.

Right over there.

Have you read his book?

His writing seminar has
a two year waiting list,

been on it for three years.

Dick's fellows
don't usually bring
wives/partners.

Yeah, I'm not staying.
I'm just dropping him off.

Yeah, it's just that the
whole point of the residency

is for the solitude,

so there wouldn't be
a distraction.

You know,
there are places in Japan

where, uh, you know,
if you sit barefoot
in the pool,

and, uh, the koi,
they just-- will just
nibble at your calluses.

Yeah, they have those
in Bali, too.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah. You ever been
to Bali?

- Nope.
- It's beautiful.

- Yeah?
- You should-- Yeah,
I mean you should go.

I mean, seriously,
it's gorgeous.

I find
too much beauty, um...

anxiety provoking.

[chuckles]
Oh, no.

What are you doing
in town, anyway?

Um, I came here to write.

I'm re-interpreting
the Holocaust.

There's
something new afoot.

There's something afoot
with the Holocaust?

- There's something new afoot.
- Something new afoot.

- And I'm gonna-- You know,
I'm gonna find it.
- Okay.

If you're gonna spend
that much time thinking about
the Holocaust,

you must be pretty okay
with melancholy, huh?

I don't feel
that melancholy.

You know,
it's funny,

when I was a girl,
I always thought
it was called--

I thought you had to
say it, uh, "melan-cholie."

- [chuckles]
- You kind of look
"melan-cholie."

- Yeah?
- Yeah, your face.

- Yeah?
- There's something kind of
ruined about it.

I mean, in...
an interesting way.

[chuckles]

Man 1: So imagine
you're outside,

you're laying on the ground,
and all of a sudden

every light goes off
and the sky just comes on.

There's Marfa realness.
There Marfa "realness,"

and then there's
"Marfa realness."

Man 2: Fracked water
can never be consumed
by humans ever again.

Man 3: ...tryin' to franchise
the deal somewhere else

with a stamped, certified
nitro oxygenated copy on it.
That's the deal.

- Wow.
- So that's what's
happening today.

Woman: And, I mean,
that wasn't nearly as bad
as the art opening.

Just one bad group show
with-- filled with men.

And terrible painters.

Woman: Tons. Are you kidding?
I heard the Q&A was quite
lively.

Man: Yeah,
Eileen was not happy.

You're the Holocaust
scholar wife.

Let's hope he doesn't
bring the work home, huh?

- Uh-huh.
- My wife complains to me
all the time

about how I'm obsessed
with models of poverty.

- Oh, right, right.
- You two should have lunch.

Where is she?
Gretchen. Gretchen.

It's the Holocaust wife.

- Gretchen.
- Gretchen: Stop saying that.
[laughing]

- Well, tell her about the--
- So nice to meet you.

- Excuse me.
- Sorry.

She's gotta tell you about
the-- the Zumba classes.

Chris: Dear Dick...

Hi. I'm Chris Crouse.

Well, hello,
Chris Crouse.

- Hi. Dick, right?
- That's me.

Love-- love that you
just go by Dick,

because usually,
someone would--

You know, if one is
born a Richard,

they would--
Rich, Rick, Richie, Ricky.

- There's so many--
- Just Dick.

Yes.

Is it possible that
I saw you on a horse
yesterday?

Yeah, I have a ranch
just outside of town.

Oh. How-- how big?

- Curious.
- You want to know
how big...

my ranch is?

[chuckles]

No more polite
to ask a rancher
the size of his acreage

than to ask a lady her age.

I'm s--
straddling 40-ish.

Straddling?

Uh--

Uh, we're-- we just arrived.
I'm here with my husband.

Um, Silvert,
he's your fellow.

Oh.

Um, can you recommend
a good place for dinner?

I like
The Rope and Loin.

Oh.

We would love to
take you out, uh, to dinner.

Silvert and I,
we would love to just--

It'd be good for you guys
to spend some--

8:00?

See you there.

Man: Dave. Dave, Dave.
Dave, Dave.

Hey, you gotta here
who Art Malone hired
as curator.

** [Woman singing
in foreign language]

So, is that what
you're wearing, babe?

Yes, it is.

I wonder if this is gonna be
a too sack dress.

A little too
Mennonite, maybe.

Can I borrow
one of your T-shirts?

Maybe I can do, like,
a Patty Smith.

Yes, of course.
Whatever works.

Maybe I could put it
underneath a blazer and
wear some skinny jeans.

- Okay.
- But I feel like denim
is not gonna be my friend.

Turning off lights now.

[sighs]

Are you gettin' close?

How we doin'?

Great. Let's go.

Hm, good? Go?

- Got your keys.
- I'm sorry.

There used to be a time
where this would--

- I'm--
- I mean, yes,
you look great.

I mean, you don't--
you don't want to--

Of course,
but we're under,
you know--

- Okay.
- A time limit.

If we didn't
have to be somewhere,

I would throw you down,
and we would just fuck.

You don't have to be,
like, weird about it.

I'm just saying let's--
we could just like--

Let's just do it.
I swear. Let's do it.

No, I thought it would be--

It's-- Now I'm like--

I have an idea.

Oh, the voice drops.

- It's okay.
- No, listen--

It's not like
you have to do that.

- Get on your knees.
- No, I'm not gonna
get on my knees.

You do that,
I'll finish you off
in there.

[keys jangling]

So you don't want to--
Let's just be very clear.

You know?
You want to keep
this drought going.

I was willing to break it,
but you're the one.

Just so we're clear.
It's not like a fight.

[groans]

I think we should
just go to dinner.

Okay, great.

Chris: Dear Dick...

- Hello.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Found it.

- Yes.
- At long last.

- The only one.
- [chuckles]

Oh, thank you.

Wow, see, this is, uh,
a real-- a real gentleman.

Don't you dare yank this out,
and make me fall on my ass.

- [chuckles]
- I'm sorry?

That's just
a dumb joke.

Oh, wow.
Here we go.

They only have
a tasting menu tonight.

Hope you're okay
with rabbit.

Oh, great,
I love rabbit.

I'm a big game eater.

I've never seen her
eat game in my life.

I'm not--
I'm not--

I don't eat--
I'm not--
All right, okay,

I'm not big, big, big,
big, big game eater.

I'm a big
little game eater.

Like, I-- I love...

Cornish hens.

It's when you try to
assign an aesthetic
to the Holocaust.

I mean, does trauma
even need an aesthetic?

Why would trauma
need an aesthetic?

Exactly.
That's why I'm here--

I'm here
trying to find it.

You know, and for that
I'm gonna need total immersion.

What I'm preoccupied with is
how the materiality of death

transfers to the living.

Like an airborne
contamination,
if you will.

That's why he slept with
a mortician.

- You slept with a mortician?
- She's kidding, okay.

He likes a cold bed.

- Excuse me?
- Easy on the red, babe.

Mm-hmm.

So what do you do

when he's not
fucking morticians?

[laughing]

Um, I'm a filmmaker.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

My latest, uh, was invited
to screen at Venice.

Mm.

But I guess,
for very complicated reasons,
that's not gonna happen.

Why?

What kind of complications?

Just some bullshit.

You could say I encountered
some very greedy musicians.

You didn't pay for the music?

Well, they were asking
for an outrageous amount.

For a nothing song.

Who would to that
to indie filmmakers?

I mean, it's just so
grotesquely unfair.

What's unfair?
It's unfair that you
don't get to use

somebody else's work
for free?

I mean, an astonishingly
beautiful piece of music

can make an astonishingly
beautiful scene

and an astonishingly
beautiful scene can separate

a mediocre film
from a masterpiece,

and I'm assuming that's
what you're going for,

the masterpiece,
the big prize.

What's it about?

Your film.

Uh, it's a--
[chuckles]

Um, it's about a couple.

- Mm.
- Or, uh, I would say
the woman

in the couple, actually.
I guess she-- she kind of
represents all women,

and, uh, society's,
you know,

- crushing expectations.
- Sounds horrible.

Sounds like you're
crushed by something.

[laughs]

Is she any good?

Excuse me?

You're good.
You can discern.

Have you seen this film
about society's crushing
expectations?

Yeah, but, you know,
an early rough cut,
but, um--

My guess is that
she doesn't want to be
a filmmaker,

'cause if you wanted to be
a filmmaker, you'd be one.

Ah-ha. This is, uh,
that teaching technique
I've heard so much about.

The provocateur.

Well, I'm also gonna
hazard to guess that

the reason that she
finds herself with

all these
unfinished projects--

I never said that.
I never said that.

That never
came out of my mouth.

It's just
a question of desire.

Not timing or talent
or circumstance,

it's pure want.

Which you don't possess.

And don't confuse desire
with entitlement around
your filmmaking.

- Am I wrong?
- It's also a question
of financing.

If all it took
was desire, Dick,

there would a tr--
a trove of amazing films
by women filmmakers,

but now we just have this--

there's a graveyard
of unmade work.

Well, maybe this
supposed graveyard
of unmade films

by women filmmakers
is there

because, ultimately,
most films made by women

aren't that good.

See, I think it's
really pretty rare

for a woman to make
a good film

because they have to work
from behind their oppression,

which makes for
some bummer movies.

Sally Potter,
Jane Campion.

Chantal Akerman.

Excuse me.

Susan Sontag,
she-- she was great.

[indistinct chatter]

I think this sauce
is cream based.

Could be.

[sighs]

I want to
take your seminar
for audit or whatever.

When does it meet?

Silvert: I thought you were
gonna go back to New York.

Oh, no, I think I'll
stick around Marfa.

Oh, you're
staying here?

What's your
reading list?

I actually don't have
a syllabus.

I haven't read a book
in ten years.

I'm post idea.

[knocks on table]

Thanks for the invite.

What the fuck is post idea?

[crickets chirping]

[typing]

Silvert: Are you gonna
come to bed?

What are you doing?

- Huh?
- Just-- Nothing.

Just go back to bed.

Just go back to bed.

What are you writing?

I don't know,
I'm just fuckin' around.

I think it could be--

I don't know, it's--
could be a short story

disguised as a letter.

- Mm.
- It's just fiction.

I'm just fuckin' around.

Please, please.

Who's your letter to?

- Dick.
- Dick.

So read it to me.

Come on.

Read it to me.

"Dear Dick...

"I never understood
before tonight

"how one chance meeting can
alter the course of events
in someone's life.

"I've met charismatic
people before.

"I've been warmed
by their glow.

"I never had someone shatter
in one glance

"the persona that
I have spent decades
constructing.

* And I've made myself
breathless *

* With all of my
worthlessness *

* Fire in my brain,
will you make it okay? *

* Does it kill you to know
that we're all dying? *

* Kills me to know *

* Does it kill you to know
that we're all dying? *

* It kills me to know *

* Fire in my brain
but I douse it in rain *

"I wonder if you knew that
when I got up from the table

"I thought you were
following me,

"stalking your prey.

"I imagined I was cornered.

"I wanted to be cornered.

"I waited in the bathroom
like a stupid girl."

Stupid girl.

"Did you know I was
waiting for you?"

* We love fire escapes *

* Fire in our brains,
you will make it okay *

"You looked at me all night
like you wanted to touch me.

"And strip me.

"Be all gentle with me,

"because you knew how badly
I wanted you to be rough.

"So, so rough."

Look at that.

Oh, you're so wet.

- Oh.
- [moaning]

Turn over.

- [moaning]
- [grunting]

[panting]

Oh, we broke
our dry spell.

- [groans]
- Oh, God.

- Baby.
- Mm-hm?

I'm so glad
you're staying here.

Woo!

[knocking]

Hey, Dev,
it's Jeff and Sookie.
We're coming in.

Hello.

Ah, oh, no.

Get up, you sleepy
little bird you.

- Want something to drink?
- Yeah.

- Here you go, my dear.
- Yep. Thank you.

All right, guys,
thank you for coming.

What's going on?

Clear your next
six weekends.

- All right.
- Okay.

I'm writing a play.

- Really?
- Yeah.

It's, uh--
It's about a couple

from New York.

It's not about a couple,
it's about a woman.

And she hates herself.

And her husband,
he kind of hates her, too.

And the play is about
them figuring that out.

Chris: Dear Dick...
