All language subtitles for Seconds (1966)

Attention, please.

Mr. Hamilton?

Yes?

Scarsdale is next!

Scarsdale is next.

Good day?

Mm-hmm.

You?

Very productive.

Got the roses
out in back all trimmed.

Oh, letter this morning
from Sally.

Sam's finished
internship.

Starts practice
next week.

Well, he should specialize.

That's the only thing now.

Well, maybe he just wants
to get the feel of things.

Our little girl's
done all right.

Is something wrong?

No.

That phone call
last night...

What about it?

I heard you pacing around
in the study afterward

Till almost 2:00.

Just a crazy prank.

Look, Emily,
it was nothing.

Man: Art, it's me again.

Arthur?

Arthur!

Look, I don't know
who you are, but...

Charlie Evans.

Stop saying that.

Charlie Evans is dead.

Now, I want you
to stop this

Or I'll be forced
to call the police.

Art, there are 2 trophies
on the fireplace

Near the tennis team
picture.

Pick up the phone
and walk over to them.

Go ahead. You know
the cord will reach.

Are you there?

Yes.

In the picture,

You and I are standing with
our arms around each other's shoulder.

We're both wearing
the same kind of a wristwatch.

Remember we gave them
to each other

After winning the doubles
in Princeton?

Yes.

Ok. Take the doubles trophy
there and turn it over.

One edge of the felt
is loose.

Pull it back.

Charlie:
Fidelis "eternis."

You scratched it there

Down in the locker room
after we won the finals.

Remember?

With your belt buckle.

I had...

I had forgotten.

I didn't.

It can't be you.

Ok, now,
listen very carefully.

Did you get
the address today?

Yes.

Good!

You're to use
the name Wilson.

You... you can't be Charlie.

You just don't come back.

I'm alive!

More alive than I've been
in the past 25 years.

You've got to come
tomorrow.

Arthur, listen, if you don't
show up, that's it.

Think, for Pete's sake.

What have you got now?

What?

I don't know.

Tomorrow.

Just past noon.

Remember,
use the name Wilson.

I...

Don't know.

I won't call again,
buddy.

Charlie?

Charlie?

Is it that call again?

No!

Stop cross-examining me every
time the phone rings. Understand?

Perfectly.

I'm, uh, sorry.

Excuse me.

You're excused.

Any fever?

Just old faithful.

Make an appointment to
see Dr. Hogan tomorrow, hmm?

I will.

Promise?

Promise.

Thank you.

Therefore...

In view of the differential...

Between your present
equity...

Between your present equity

And the amount necessary for...

Capitalization,

We cannot extend
the loan you require.

Should your equity...

Where?

Uh, "should your equity..."

Oh. Should your
equity increase,

Do not hesitate
to call on us

For a personal
reappraisal.

Et cetera, et cetera.
Standard closing.

Yes, sir.

Uh...

My name is, uh...

Wilson.

I was told to...

I was told
to come here.

Look, is this the place
or isn't it?

They aren't here
anymore.

I got it wrote down.

Thank you.

Move it! Let's go!

Let's go!
Move it down the line!

Let's go,
you bunch of idiots!

Get that beef cut down!
Move it up!

Damn, let's get
that truck going!

Get the meat the hell
out of here! Get going!

What are you going to do,
take all day?

Come on, move! Don't let
those hooks fall off on you!

Come on.
Let's move it!

Ok, Johnny,
get us a truck.

Get us another truck
up here!

Tighten up with it now.
Let's go with the load!

Ah, Mr. Wilson.

Let's go! On the truck
with them! Come on!

Surely this isn't
the, uh...

No, sir.
Please come with me.

Let's go, Frank!
Move that truck off!

Come on. Let's hook it off!
Hook off!

Don't just stand there! Move
that beef off the line! Let's go!

What are you,
a bunch of jerks?

Come on. Go! Go!

Come on. Get it down!
Cut it! Cut it!

All right! Come on!
Move out!

Keep moving that beef!

Cut it down! Let's go!

Would you step in,
please, sir?

I'd much prefer to ride in front,
if you don't mind.

I'm sorry, sir.

Customers are asked
to ride in the back.

Oh.

Your hat, sir.

It's only a short ride.

Thank you.

We're here, sir.

Would you take the elevator
to your left, sir?

Ah, Mr. Wilson. Will you come
this way, please?

Yes.

I'm very sorry.

There'll be
a short delay.

Perhaps you'd like some tea
and a sandwich.

Thank you.

All right.

Make yourself
comfortable.

Oh.

Here we go.

Uh, pardon me.

Could you tell me the way
out of this building?

Excuse me.

I was wondering
if you could tell...

Excuse me.
I'm trying to find...

Excuse me. I'm trying to find
my way out of the building.

I have a gentleman here
who wishes to leave the building.

Woman: Yes, that
would be Mr. Wilson.

Would you have him return
to Mr. Ruby's office, please?

Mr. Ruby is waiting
for him there.

They want you down at the end
of the corridor again.

Yes. All right.

Thank you.

Ah! There you are,
Mr. Wilson.

Come in. Please.

Would you
close the door?

Please, sit down.

My name is Ruby.

I've been assigned to go over the
circumstances of your death with you.

What?

Oh, I know this seems
rather strange to you.

That's why I'm here.

You probably have
a lot of questions.

Of course, the subject
might appear indelicate,

But most
of our clients...

Let's get this straight.

I am not a client.

Precisely, Mr. Wilson.

You are not a client yet.

Let me start by explaining
the cost factor involved.

To begin with,

The procedure's
a rather complex one.

This seems to be
your supper.

The chicken looks delicious.

No, thank you.

Yes, as I was saying,

The cost runs in the
neighborhood of $30,000.

I know this seems
rather high,

But in addition to the rather
extensive cosmetic renovation

By way of
plastic surgery for you,

C.P.S. has to provide a fresh
corpse that perfectly matches, uh...

Your physical dimensions
and medical specifications.

C.P.S.?

Oh, cadaver
procurement section.

You sure you don't want
this chicken?

Absolutely sure.

Oh, pity.

The next step is
the carefully planned

Obliteration of identifiable
portions of the cadaver

Before it is found:

Features, dental structure,
fingerprints?

We can't leave anything
to Chance.

No, I...I guess not.

Oh, would you mind
if, uh...

Please.

Thank you.

Now, there is a problem

That the circumstances
of your death

Must be simple.

Well, a simple accident, strangely
enough, is costly, Mr. Wilson.

The trick lies in obliterating
just so much and no more

So that...

An identification
still can be made

Based on, as I say,
general dimensions

Plus a credible
sequence of...Events,

Witnesses, et cetera.

Oh, the whole thing must
be very carefully staged.

We guarantee
a death of this kind.

Mmm, excuse me.
Delicious!

They have a wonderful way
of baking cheese on it

So that's it's
very crispy.

Now, there are any number
of ways you can be found.

Excuse me.

I mean your body
can be found.

The victim of some kind
of machinery,

An explosion,

Um, a hunting
misadventure.

Oh, but I think these are
somewhat too gross for you.

I had thought perhaps
a hotel room fire.

Would you like me
to outline the circumstances?

No, thank you.

Oh, good.

I... I was hoping
you would, uh, agree...

No!

I mean, I...I can't
be sure.

Oh, of course,
of course, of course.

We can't expect you
to decide all at once.

Uh, think it over.

There's so much else
to be done, Mr. Wilson,

But if I may say so,

The question
of death selection

May be the most important
decision in your life.

Oh, here are the trust
instruments, Mr. Wilson.

Mr. Joliffe, Mr. Brown,
Mr. Wilson.

My colleagues.

Now, this is your, uh,
revised will,

Drawn in accordance with
the requirements of the trust,

All predated, of course,
to save you the trouble.

Oh, no, no.
It's standard procedure.

Ah.

Effective at the time
of your death,

The trust provides for very liberal
settlements on your wife and daughter

And more than sufficient funds
for your financial needs

In your new identity,

Uh, from sums assigned to us
as your, uh, trustees.

Insurance policies,

Uh, annuities,

Real estate.

If you'll, uh,
sign right here.

the staging here

Is rather authentic.
You'll see.

Of course, the drug made
it easier to manipulate you

Into the proper positions
and attitudes.

Rest easy,
Mr. Wilson.

You did not
ravage our girl.

Of course, the photography
is not too professional,

But I think
it's clear enough.

So now it's...

I have a message
from Charlie.

Charlie?

He wanted me to tell you that
rebirth is painful.

You were going to say so now
it's blackmail, eh, Mr. Wilson?

What would you call it?

Just kind of insurance.

Is it easier
to go forward

When you know
you can't go back?

But you knew that,
didn't you?

The minute you hung up on
Charlie after that first call.

Ah, sure, you did.

You're saying...

I can never go back?

The fact is, you really don't
want to go back.

Sakes, boy, you owe
yourself this thing.

Rebirth,
life again.

Begin again all new,
all different,

The way you always
wanted it.

You got
another Chance.

Heck, nobody's going
to miss you, are they?

My wife.

What about her? What
are you to her now?

We get along.

What does that mean?

There's my daughter.

Hmm.

We don't see much
of her actually.

She lives out west
with her husband.

She writes
now and then.

Let us...

What are you
to her now?

You excuse an old fool
prying, son,

But what does it
all mean?

Hmm?

It can't mean anything
now anymore.

There's nothing anymore,
is there?

Anything at all?

I...

Expect to be president
of the bank before too long.

I have my boat
in the Summer.

We have friends.

Anything at all?

Guess I...

Never thought much
about it before.

I leave Emily pretty much alone
to do what she, uh...

We get along,
as I said.

We hardly ever quarrel.

Not that that's any

Measure of our lives.

Frankly...

During the last
few years, we...

Hardly ever...

Ever...

I... I...

I don't know why
I'm telling you this.

'cause you want to.

Go on.

Ever...

Ever...

Showed
much affection.

But as I said...

Boat...

And, uh...

So this is what happens
to the dreams of youth.

Go on, son.

Let it out.

Nothing to be
ashamed of.

Let it out.

Hmm?

Time for a change.

Now, look, they'll both
be well taken care of.

They don't need you
and you don't need them.

You just can't help
each other anymore.

Now, look, son, you know
what I'm saying is true.

There's nothing anymore.

No, no.

Now, what you need now
is a good rest.

Now, a few things to be
worked out in the morning.

My boys will
clear those up,

And you needn't
worry none.

The boys?

Uh-huh.

You are
the head of it all?

There never was a struggle in the
soul of a good man that wasn't hard.

My papa told me that,
and it's sure enough true.

Believe me, son.

I know.

I believe you.

That's fine.

You know, Mr. Wilson,

You represent something
of a milestone around here.

When the bandages are removed,

I think you'll be
more than pleased.

In fact, I expect you to be
prancing around here like a stud bull.

Now, this is going
to take a while,

So try to be patient

Till we get you ready
for the world again.

Now, don't do that!

You can't talk because
we've extracted all your teeth

And given you a complete
vocal cord resection.

Give the tissues time
to pull together.

Now, you got a new set
of permanent teeth.

In a week, you won't
know the difference.

Thank you.

That's what hurts most
right now.

Everything's different!

When the first
healing's over,

We'll start conditioning
for muscle tone, hmm?

Yes, yes, those, too.

Fingerprints.

Mr. Wilson, even
your signature.

A little thing we did with the
tensor ligaments of the hand.

The orbicularis oris
started to sag,

So we tightened them
with ligatures.

Yeah.

Then we worked on the
mandible to square up the bone.

Uh-huh.

Well, I never.

Holy mackerel, I don't
know how you boys do it.

Doc, it's
a masterpiece.

Good work!

Old man: Easy does it.

You'll be
all right, son.

Your scars
and hematomas

Will disappear
in a couple of weeks.

After several months
of physical conditioning,

The process
will be complete.

Ah!

My name is Davalo.

I'm your guidance advisor.

This is about
your future career.

I'm afraid I haven't thought
very much about that.

Oh, yes, you have, sir.

Permit me.

Arthur: I want a ball.
A big, big red one.

Whoops!

I'm afraid we picked this up
a little too early.

Sit down.

We recorded
these regressions

Under pentothal and
caffeine sodium benzoate.

At first, there's always
a touch of the infantile,

But later on, we progress
to a more mature,

Expressional
infrastructure.

Ah. Here we are.

Davalo: What would you
like to do most of all?

Arthur: Of anything
in the whole world?

Mm-hmm.

Uh...

I'd like to be
a tennis pro, I guess.

Yes.

That's what I'd like
best of all.

Uh-huh.

And suppose
you couldn't be?

What else
would you choose?

Uh...

I guess I'd like
to paint stuff.

Pictures?

Pictures...
And things...

Well, I think the creative wish
pattern is pretty self-evident.

You mean I...

I ought to be
a painter?

Exactly.

You see, painting allows you
a basic creative outlet,

As well as providing
an environment

In which these sublimations
will have free vent.

Now, let's take a look at the
program we've worked out for you.

Certificates of study.

Abroad.

Notices of
first 6 one-man shows.

Your pictures...

Are realistic in treatment

But deal with poetic imagery
in choice of subject.

Not that I pretend to be
a critic of painting.

Ha ha ha!

These diplomas...

From reputable
universities,

They...

They can't be forged.

Mr. Wilson, I assure you,

Every item is
bona fide and valid.

How can I even approach
such a professional level?

I couldn't...

Very simple.

You are already established
in a position of some dignity.

Nothing conspicuous,

Just a solid, mildly
successful sort of thing.

You will be supplied with
fresh paintings periodically.

In time, you'll perfect
your own style...

Surreal, primitive,
impressionistic, whatever.

It will be a transition
from this present work.

You see, you don't have
to prove anything anymore.

You...

Are accepted.

You will be in
your own new dimension.

You're a bachelor.

Birth certificate.

The only son of deceased
parents and so forth.

In short...

You are alone
in the world,

Absolved of all
responsibility,

Except to
your own interest.

Hee hee hee!

Isn't that marvelous?

Davalo: Your studio
is in Malibu, California.

Quite luxurious.

Very private.

You'll make
your own adjustment

In your own way,
in your own time.

Oh, you'll be
self-conscious at first.

Don't worry. Hee hee!

It will wear off.

And remember...

You've got what almost every middle-
aged man in America would like to have:

Freedom.

Real freedom.

Hee hee hee!

Ah, it's been a pleasure,
Mr. Wilson.

Woman:
Pillow, Mr. Wilson?

Yes, thank you.

Man: Tony!

Tony!

Tony Wilson!

Tony Wilson!

Hey, there,
you old rascal!

Slow down!
Where's the fire?

Can't wait to get back to them
pretty little models, huh?

Uh-oh. I am late.

If I didn't have
to catch me a plane,

I'd make you
buy me a drink, by God.

See you, soon.
Gotta run!

Man:
Welcome home, Mr. Wilson.

My name is John. I've
been assigned to help you.

It's very nice.

I think you'll be
quite comfortable, sir.

Do you like your studio?

Yes.

Perhaps you'd like
to freshen up

And have a drink.

Afterward, I'll try
to clear up any point

On which you may
have curiosity.

The bath is through here.

I'll unpack these
for you later.

Thanks.

Um...

How long will you
be here, um...

John, sir.

For as long
as you need me.

The company is fully aware that
you may have problems at first

And will spare no effort
to help you solve them.

Thank you.

Yes, sir.

John.

Yes, sir?

I, uh...

I had a curious experience
at the airport.

What was that?

Well, I was accosted by a man
who called me by name.

He seemed to know me, and I'm
certain I've never met him.

I suppose it was
a mistake on his part.

So it would appear, sir.

What kind of people
live here?

Professionals.

Some in business,
some write.

No, uh...

No artists, I hope.

I think you're
the only one, sir.

If I may suggest, sir,

Perhaps you'd like to
give a small cocktail party

For the immediate
neighbors.

Oh, well, I, uh...

I'd better get myself
used to things first.

Later on, maybe.

As you wish, sir.

That's very good, sir.

Thank you.

Wouldn't you enjoy meeting
some of the people here, sir?

I told you
I'm not ready yet, John.

I'll do this in my own way
and in my own time.

Of course, sir.

Hello.

Hey! Hey, wait!

I'm sorry about
back there.

How about
if we try it again?

Hello.

I'm Nora Marcus.

I'm...

Tony Wilson.

Walk?

Sure.

Ha ha!

Ocean, I love you!

You're beautiful!

Beautiful!

All that power, and
she's got all the answers.

Hey!

Got a question!

Ahh!

What did you ask?

Oh, a tough one.

Who and what
is Tony Wilson?

And what did it say?

It told me
to mind my own business.

Nora: That was my life...

2 boys, ages 10 and 12,

Successful
and indulgent husband,

A beautiful house complete
with microwave oven,

Intercom, station wagon,
et cetera, et cetera,

Ad infinitum.

Ad...

Absurdum.

And...

I made myself
a cup of coffee,

Dressed, and left.

That was 4 years ago.

And you never went back.

I've seen them
from time to time,

But...

It's different now.

Maybe because...

I'm different.

I don't expect you
to understand.

I think I do.

You?

An artist?

Why should you understand?

You've spent
your whole life being.

You don't know anything
about me, really.

Yes, I do.

It's all right there
in your face.

What is?

Ah ha ha ha!
Now you're fishing.

No. Seriously.

This may hurt a little.

I agreed
to take my chances.

Ok.

Madam Marcus
will read the leaves.

What kind of a man is he?

There is Grace
in the line and color,

But it doesn't emerge pure.

It pushes at the edge
of something still...

Tentative,

Unresolved,

As if...

Somewhere in the man...

There is still a key
unturned.

That's
quite an analysis.

Not really. When you
come to think of it,

It sort of fits everybody.

Doesn't it?

I don't know.

It's very nice here.

The good things always
happen with the rain.

When will I see you again?

I'm going to
Santa Barbara tomorrow.

There's
a kind of gathering.

Can I come?

Ha ha ha! It's going
to be very wild.

Maybe that's part of...

Turning the key.

To the God pan.

To the gods
of this place!

Drink!

See ye, you gods!

March down upon this
procession and bless us all!

The Queen of the wine!
Aye!

Man: Wine!

Wine!

Man: Yea!
Ha ha ha ha!

Wine!

The Queen of the wine!

The Queen!

Hail the Queen!

The Queen of the wine!

Crowd:
Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

[people singing]

Stomp those grapes! Stomp those grapes!
Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!
Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!
Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Ahh!

Now the season ends,

And the old vines
are buried deep.

Now, in dying,
Bacchus gives us his blood...

Ha ha!

So we may be born again...

Laughing,

Laughing.

Come dance with me.

I don't know any of
these people. I don't think...

Don't think me, Tony.

Don't.

I came here
to feel, to be.

I'm dying,
and that's the world,

The whole bloody world!

Ha ha ha!

Nora, it's not
a question of dancing.

I'm no part of this!

I'm dying,
and that's the world!

The whole bloody world!

Nora! Nora! Nora!
Don't!

Nora!

Nora! Hey, Nora!

Ha ha ha ha!

Nora: Whoo!

Nora!

Nora, come back here!

Get out of there!

Hey, wait a minute!
Get your hands off me!

Nora, get out of there!

Nora!

No, please!
Please don't!

Please!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Nora! Nora!

Stomp those grapes!

Stomp those grapes!

Please!

Stomp those grapes!

Nora!

Nora! Nora!

It's me! It's me!

Nora.

Yes! Yes!

Yes! Ha ha ha!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Thank you, John.

Oh, Mr. Wilson.

May I present
Mr. And Mrs. Lloyd.

How do you do?

This is your host
Mr. Wilson.

Mr. Filter,
Mr. Wilson.

Nice to meet you.

How do you do, Tony?

You have seen Tony's
paintings, haven't you?

Cheers.

Mr. Wilson, may I present
Mr. Mayberry.

Oh, hi. Nice to meet you, Mr. Wilson.

Peek-a-boo.

Woman: Mr. Wilson.

Honey, please slow down.

Never!

Never!

Come. I'm taking you
to "ze" casbah.

Ohh!

Not the casbah.

As soon as
these people leave,

I'm going
to attack you.

Why, Mr. Wilson,
you dirty old man.

Ah.

I really am.

Mmm.

I want you to know that.

I'm counting on it.

Miss Marcus,
you shock me.

Tony, please,
ease up.

Uh-uh.

Why?

Because...

It's not like you.

Oh, I know that.

I'm sorry.

[sighs]

Guess I just needed
the added strength.

That's silly.

They're all
wonderful people.

Just give them
a Chance.

Ok.

Give yourself a Chance.

Ok.

Yes?

I promise.

No more.

And I promise...
To behave myself.

Ohh!

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

I've embarrassed you.

No, you haven't.

Tony...

I think...

I love you.

You're beautiful.

You're...

You're an ocean.

Let's go back.

The sooner we
get rid of those people,

The sooner
we can be together.

I'm going to hold you to
your promise, Mr. Wilson.

God, you're evil!
Yes! God!

How evil you are!
Ha ha ha!

Tony?

Henry Bushbain,
my husband.

Nice to know you,
Wilson.

Nora,
you're staggering.

Oh, that's
a dirty lie.

Watch out for
this character.

He's a lawyer.
Harvard.

I want you
to know.

Really? Hey,
that's a coincidence.

Thank you.

Mmm. Me, too.

In fact,
me, too, twice.

Hollow leg
again?

Oh, will you listen?

At home, he makes me
look like a piker.

A veritable piker.

Henry, you sneaking
two-face, you.

Ha ha ha!

Private joke?

No, I... ha ha ha!

Come on, Nora. Let's ditch
these two sots.

Help! Tony!

Hey, wait a minute!
You can't do that!

There's no way
you're gonna get away.

You're gonna stay
right here.

But that's my woman.

Hey!

Hey, that's funny.
That's very funny.

What's funny?

Is he really
a sneaky two-face?

Ha ha ha! Yes.

Ha ha ha!

There's such a religious
climate out here.

Don't you agree?

Oh, love the climate.

I belong to
a special kind of group.

Nothing subversive,
I hope.

Oh, good heavens, no!

We change sects.

I beg your pardon?

Oh, no, no!

That...

You thought I meant...

"sects."
s-e-c-t-s.

Ha ha ha!
Oh, sects!

Yes.

Well, thank God.

We change
every month.

Right now
we're in Aztec.

Huitzilopochtli,
quetzalcoatl,

Virgin sacrifice
and all.

I just love your
paintings, Mr. Wilson.

How do you
ever do it?

Well, you see...

It all began
with a big red ball.

Uh...

No, no.

You see...

I paint naked,
Mrs. Filter.

It's the only way
to get at the truth.

How interesting.

Of course!

See, in this way, my
inner Essence is revealed,

And I am presented
to the canvas

In direct relationship
to my primeval state

Without its
sociological trappings.

Mr. Filter: Hey, watch it, will ya?!

Oh, look!

Take it easy, Wilson!

I'm terribly sorry.

You all right, hon?

John! John!

That'll never come out.
Never!

I'm terribly sorry.

It's ruined!

Please forgive me.

Just look at this mess!

May I?

Let me take that.

I'm sure it won't
stain badly.

We'll get it
all cleaned up.

Hey.

Have you two heard
the one about the...

Yes, we have.
Yes, we have.

Oh.

I'm... I'm... I'm sorry.

I... I... I didn't mean
to interrupt.

Seems like I'm doing
everything wrong lately.

Now don't pout.

Mama will make everything better, ok?

Perfect. Say, hank,

Uh, I was thinking about
school just before,

And, uh, your house at Harvard
wasn't by any Chance Adams, was it?

Adams, well, no,
not exactly.

Is anybody
hungry?

I am.

Say, hank.

Hank. Ha ha ha.

Hey, hank, here.

Hank, actually...

Actually I'm not a
Harvard alumnus, either.

That is, I used to be,
but I'm not anymore.

Woman: What
do you mean?

Did you resign
or something?

Oh, that's
priceless.

No. I did go
to Harvard, you see.

Uh-huh.

And I was an alumnus,

But that was before
I became a painter,

And now I'm not anymore.

Come on, hank.

realize hopes
we're dashing

into blue obscurity

resistless our team
sweeps goalward

with the fury
of "ze" blast

we'll fight
for the name of Harvard

till the last
white line is passed

That's wonderful.

Absolutely wonderful.

Truth is, I just stopped
being an alumnus.

Oh.

Simple.

Wilson.

What?

You and I must
play golf sometime.

Ha ha ha. Golf?

Golf? Ha ha ha.

Antiochus Wilson
playing golf?

Ha!

Now...

Arthur Hamilton.

Ha ha ha.

Looks as if our host
is in orbit.

Hey, wait a minute,
you guys.

Wilson: Incoming.
Don't drop me.

Bye!

Oh, isn't he
wonderful?

Hey, wait a minute.
Hey, wait.

Turn around.

Hey, hey, listen.
Hey, hank, I got a nephew.

I got a nephew right...
right in Harvard right now.

You don't have
a nephew.

Wilson: What?

Ha ha ha.

I don't have a nephew?

Ha ha, huh.

Ok, you're right.

I don't have a nephew.

But he's there,
all right.

He's there, all right.

My daughter...

She's married
to a doctor,

And maybe by this time
I'm a grandfather.

Believe me, they'll
never drag it out of me.

I'll stand right here

On my constitutional
rights.

I am not a grandfather.

I...

Why are you all
staring at me like that?

Ha ha. Hey, John...

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Hey, John. Why...

Hey, John...

Hey, John,

Why are they staring
at me like that?

They know.

They know what?

They're like you.

What do you mean?

Reborns.

Oh, Nora!

Shut up, you!

Shut up!

Shut up, damn you!

Just who the hell
do you think you are?

Oh, no. Oh, my God.

Yes.

Charlie: It's me, buddy.
Now listen to me, Arthur.

Charlie.

Now look, Arthur...

Charlie.

Arthur, listen to me.

Is it really you?

Of course it is.

Do you realize how dangerous it is,
what you're doing? Do you?

I've gotta
get out of here.

You don't know what
they're doing to me.

Come on now, buddy.
Calm down, calm down.

I've got to see you.

That's impossible
right now.

Why?

It just is.

Now, you've got to get
ahold of yourself, fast.

You'll be sorry...

Know what they did?

I can't explain,
but you'll be sorry.

There's this reborn,
Nora.

She's not one of them.

She works
for the company.

What?

That's right.
An employee.

Oh, but I...

Oh, no.
She was so...

Well...

Why, Charlie?

Why?

Your adjustment was bound
to be difficult in the first stages.

Don't you see?
The company simply provided...

An employee.

It means a lot to me,
personally, Arthur.

I can't explain, but we're sort
of tied together, you and me.

We're so close, Arthur.
Don't throw it away.

How?

Trust, please.

I want you to promise to stay put
until we can get someone to you.

Charlie: You've got to have
some help right now.

Please, will you do it?

Will you stay there?

Please?

Yes?

I'm Mr. Wilson.

Yes, sir.

Come in, please.

I'll tell Mrs. Hamilton
you're here.

Emily: Mr. Wilson.

I'm so glad you were
able to come.

Thank you. I didn't
mean to barge in.

Oh, not at all.

It was very kind of you.

I must have sounded strange
over the phone, but...

You see, Arthur
never mentioned...

Well, I just met your
late husband last year,

Shortly before...

Yes.

Um, please, sit down.

Mrs. Hamilton,
I'm a painter.

An artist, actually.

I admire your husband's
watercolors.

Really?

Not that he was
professional,

But he did
have something.

He mentioned some
paintings in a cupboard

Out in the garage.

That's the reason I...

Well, I was wondering if I might
pick one up as a memento.

I'm sorry, but the garage
has been cleaned out.

You threw them away?

No.

No, not exactly.

You have a lovely
place here.

Oh, thank you.

This was the study,
wasn't it?

Yes, it was...

How did you know?

Your husband...

Talked a lot
about this house.

About his family.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to stir up
painful memories.

No, no, it's not that.

It's just that...

I never knew Arthur
to do that very much.

How do you mean?

I don't want to bore you.

No, please.

I'd like to know.

You see...

I knew him only for
a short while.

I'd really like to know.

It's not just curiosity.

We, uh...

We shared
an interest in art.

The last time I saw him,
I... I did some sketches.

Now I'd like
to do a painting...

But all I have
are lines, a face.

Posthumous portraiture.

I'm not joking,
Mrs. Hamilton.

No, of course you're not.
I'm sorry. I...

Well, you've set me
quite a task.

He was a quiet man.

I think that the thing I most
remember him for were his silences.

It was...

As if he were always listening
to something inside...

Some voice.

He never talked about it,

So I never knew
what it was.

Oh, he was a good man...

But he lived as if
he were a stranger here.

I mean, he never
let anything touch him.

Became absorbed in things.
His job, mostly.

He worked hard,

He became more detached.

Always a look
around his eyes

As if he were trying
to say something.

I don't know what.

Protest against what he'd
surrendered his life to.

I never knew
what he wanted...

And I don't think
he ever knew.

He fought so hard for what
he'd been taught to want.

When he got it, he just grew
more and more confused.

The silences grew longer.

We never talked about it.

We lived our lives
in a polite, celibate truce.

See, Arthur had been dead
a long, long time

Before they found him
in that hotel room.

Well, I...

I guess I can't tell you
much more. Enough?

Yes, it is.

I really
should be going.

Well, I hope
I've been some help.

Yes, you have.

Very much.

Emily: Mr. Wilson.

You said that you wanted
a memento.

It won't be a painting,
I'm afraid, but it's all I have.

I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson.

It doesn't matter.

I want to go back.

Of course, sir.

No, I don't mean California.

To the company.

Start again, all over.

Antiochus Wilson can die,
can't he, John?

The company...

Is it possible?

I think so, sir.

Begin again.

Quite honestly, I'm not
the least bit sorry,

Because there were certain
mistakes made in my case, and they...

Of course, but before
we go into all that,

Let me ask you whether you can
recommend and sponsor a new client.

What?

Well, someone in your
acquaintance outside

Whom you feel would benefit
by the company's services.

You were sponsored
yourself, you know.

Oh, yes. Of course.

A business associate, perhaps.
Someone down the street.

Well, you don't have to be
intimately acquainted with a man

To realize he'd be receptive
to the sort of opportunity we offer.

I'm sorry. Right now
I just can't seem to...

Well, what I mean is, I...
I'd like to think about it.

Well, that's all we ask.

As you can imagine, our business
is acquired through present clients.

It's a word-of-mouth
operation, Wilson.

You don't suppose we can advertise
in magazines and newspapers.

No, of course not.

I think you'll come up
with something.

Man: Hold it. Thank you.

Hold your arm up, please,
Mr. Wilson. That's it.

Excuse me.
I don't understand.

Is all this
really necessary?

Thirteen and a half. Profile.

Turn sideways,
Mr. Wilson.

Wait just a moment.
Is this necessary?

Hold it.

Hold it.
That's it.

Uh, back view.

What is this? Preliminary
for surgery, or...

Certainly,
Mr. Wilson.

A year has gone by.

A lot happens to the
human body in a year.

This one is yours, sir.

Hello, Arthur.

Excuse me. I don't believe I know...

It's me, buddy.

Fidelis "eternis."

Charlie?

You're Charlie?

Guess I am, old buddy.

What are you doing here?

Same as yourself,
waiting.

What's the matter?

Oh, nothing. It's...

It's just that it's hard to
recognize somebody and...

Not recognize them
at the same time.

How long have
you been here?

Oh, a while.

When you phoned me,
you were here?

Mm-hmm.

Even the first time?

But you sounded...

Like the whole thing
was something tremendous,

This rebirth,

Everything, even when you
hadn't made a go of it.

I thought you'd have
a better Chance.

Well, good God. How long does a man
have to wait to get into surgery?

Not long usually.

I had to stay around and
telephone you if necessary

Through your first
adjustment, but now...

That's what you meant
about our being tied together.

Mm-hmm.

I couldn't help it, Charlie.

I had to find out
where I went wrong.

The years I've spent trying to get all
the things I was told were important,

That I was supposed to want.

Things.

Not people...

Or meaning.

Just things.

And California was the same.

They made the same decisions
for me all over again,

And they were
the same things, really.

It's gonna be different
from now on.

A new face.

A new name.

I'll do the rest.

I know it's gonna
be different.

I suppose you do, too.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Mr. Carlson, please.

Charlie.

You?

Art, I...

Mr. Carlson,

Please.

Charlie.

I have the feeling you're
gonna make it this time.

Sorry to disappoint
the rest of you.

Perhaps tomorrow.

You don't seem to understand
our problem, Mr. Wilson.

I understand it perfectly.

But you're not
cooperating.

I've told you
over and over again.

I cannot think of anyone.

I can't believe that.

Mr. Ruby, I've been
shuffled around enough.

I think it's about time
I had the opportunity

To start living some kind
of meaningful existence.

If I did
sponsor someone,

Wouldn't that delay
my trip to surgery

In the event that I were
needed from time to time

To, say, advise him?

No, that's not likely.

Not if the selection
is a good one.

I'm sorry.

I don't seem to be able
to think of a single soul.

You mean you
deliberately won't.

Have it your way.

Very well.

That'll be all,
Mr. Wilson.

You can go back
to the day room.

Processing, please.

This is Ruby.

On, um, Wilson, 722,

I think we can go
to the next stage now.

Hello, son.

Well, sir, I...

Uh, you know, I sure
hoped you'd make it,

Find your dream
come true.

What?

I said I sure hoped
that you'd make it,

Find your dream
come true.

I guess I...

I guess I never had a dream.

Maybe that's it.

That... that sure
might have been it.

If I did have one...

It certainly wasn't
Antiochus Wilson.

This time, I've got to be allowed,
sir, to make my own decision.

You know, son,

When I began
this business,

I was a young man
with an idea.

I wasn't aiming to make
a lot of money helping others.

Help 'em to find
a little happiness.

Oh, heck,
just not the rich.

I thought eventually...

See, I got tremendous comfort
in the thought that in my small way

I was waging a battle
against human misery,

And I was, too,

Except we do have a
high percentage of failures.

I guess that's
to be expected,

But it hurts me.

Some reborns
make a go of it.

We're always working to find
ways to improve the system.

Yeah, we make mistakes.

Fact is, when our clients
first started to come back here,

I just wanted to chuck the
whole thing, but I couldn't.

The organization
was pretty big by then.

Uh, board of directors

On a profit-sharing
basis.

All those people.

You've no idea what a financial
responsibility it turned into.

Heck, we make mistakes,

But we admit 'em
and go forward.

I won't see it
in my lifetime,

But some of the younger
execs like Ruby may.

Oh, you can call it
wishful thinking, son,

But life is built
on wishes,

And you gotta just keep
plugging away at 'em.

You can't give up,

And you can't let the mistakes
jeopardize the dream.

Well, here's your
transportation.

Surgery, sir.

But I've gotta
talk to you.

Sir, we're on a very tight
schedule, please.

Why, I... I didn't
expect... so soon.

It's efficiency. You're lucky
we got a match so quick.

Hop aboard, son.

Up there.

The doctors are waiting.

That's just so
you won't fall off.

But there's things
we have to talk about.

I mean, my identity
and all.

We will.
We will later.

Just relax, son.

Everything's
going to be fine.

Just fine.

The thing about
doing it on my own.

You see, it's so important.

Choice.

You've got to change.

We have to talk about it.

We will.

I'll look into it
personally.

Just remember, son,

We got to keep plugging
away at the dream.

The mistakes
teach us how.

It wasn't wasted,
remember that.

My name is Dr. Morris, sir.

According to
our records,

Uh, you were reared
in the protestant Faith.

Did you convert
to any other

During your adjustment?

No.

Good, good.

That is,
good in the sense

That we have
a certain definition.

Now, I am not suggesting
that being a protestant

Is any better than being
a catholic or a Jew.

As a matter of fact,

I am qualified
to care for you

In either of those faiths
as well.

I was ordained in each:

Rabbi, priest,
and minister.

I admit it unusual.

Uh, maybe a bit advanced.

Wait a minute.

What's happening?

Well, my good sir, uh,
when we have finished,

You will go on
to the next stage.

I don't mean that!

Ultimately, Mr. Wilson,

Ultimately we'll be called
to face the creator

And render up
our last account.

It happens to
all of us, sir.

That's no answer!

I want to know what's
happening to me now!

Don't shout, please!

No!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

thou be coming in.

thou be in going out.

You were my best work,
Mr. Wilson.

I'm sorry it all
has to end like this.

All right, set him up.

I think we'll put
the hemorrhage

Right under
the left exoccipital

In the lingual gyrus.

Put that light
over here.

Good.

All right.

Relax, old friend.

Cranial drill.
