1
00:00:08,500 --> 00:00:15,499
ACT FOUR : John Brown's Body
2
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:25,400
If you want the smoke and puffery you can listen to Kissinger and Schultz and those guys
3
00:00:25,603 --> 00:00:32,159
But if you want to look at the heart of modern conservatism, you look at me
4
00:00:32,338 --> 00:00:36,000
Everyone else has abandoned the struggle
5
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:40,997
Everything nowadays is just sipping tea with Nixon and Mao
6
00:00:41,415 --> 00:00:48,119
That was disgusting, did you see that? Were you born yet?
7
00:00:48,256 --> 00:00:52,870
- Of course I... - My generation, we had clarity
8
00:00:52,910 --> 00:01:01,400
Unafraid to took deep into the miasma at the heart of the world, what a pit, what a nightmare is there
9
00:01:01,435 --> 00:01:11,231
I have looked, I have searched all my life for absolute bottom, and l found it, believe me. Stygian
10
00:01:11,630 --> 00:01:18,327
How tragic, how brutal life is. How false people are
11
00:01:18,858 --> 00:01:25,601
The immutable heart of what we are that bleeds through whatever we might become
12
00:01:27,772 --> 00:01:34,360
All else is vanity. I don't know the world anymore
13
00:01:38,175 --> 00:01:44,122
After I die they`ll say it was for the money and the headlines
14
00:01:44,149 --> 00:01:47,798
But it was never the money. It's...
15
00:01:55,169 --> 00:02:03,661
It's the moxie that counts. I never wavered
16
00:02:04,672 --> 00:02:10,981
-You, remember - I will, Roy
17
00:02:13,930 --> 00:02:16,896
I left my wife
18
00:02:17,686 --> 00:02:21,100
-I needed to tell you -It happens
19
00:02:21,102 --> 00:02:25,600
I've been staying with someone. Someone else - It happens
20
00:02:25,693 --> 00:02:34,600
With a... I was afraid you wouldn't want to see me. If you'd forgiven me. For letting you down
21
00:02:35,103 --> 00:02:38,588
I forgive you. But I don't forget
22
00:02:39,326 --> 00:02:45,800
Or I forget but I don't forgive. I can't remember which, what does it...
23
00:02:45,813 --> 00:02:55,338
You seen a lady around here, dumpy lady, stupid hat? She...
24
00:02:55,752 --> 00:03:00,800
Oh boy, oh boy, no. She's off watching the hearings
25
00:03:00,861 --> 00:03:03,000
- Treacherous bitch - Who?
26
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,800
Did you get a blessing from your father before he died? - A blessing?
27
00:03:07,861 --> 00:03:10,354
-Yeah -No
28
00:03:10,686 --> 00:03:18,807
He should have done that. Life. That's what they're supposed to bless. Life
29
00:03:30,797 --> 00:03:40,278
- Roy, I need to talk to you about... Ssh. Schmendrick. Don't fuck up the magic
30
00:03:48,533 --> 00:03:53,300
A brokhe. You don't even have to trick it out of me, like what's his name In the Bible
31
00:03:53,310 --> 00:03:58,980
Jacob. That's the one. A ruthless motherfucker
32
00:03:59,486 --> 00:04:05,926
Some bald runt, but he laid hold of his birthright with his claws and his teeth
33
00:04:06,330 --> 00:04:10,200
Jacob's father... what was the guy's name? - Isaac
34
00:04:10,302 --> 00:04:18,150
Yeah. The sacrifice. That jerk. My mother read me those stories
35
00:04:19,758 --> 00:04:25,857
See thtis scar on my nose? When I was three months old, there was a bony spur
36
00:04:26,464 --> 00:04:30,547
She made them operate, shave it off
37
00:04:31,263 --> 00:04:37,779
They said I was too young for surgery, I'd outgrow it but she insisted
38
00:04:38,549 --> 00:04:51,500
I figure she wanted to toughen me up. And it worked. I am tough. It's taking a lot to dismantle me
39
00:04:56,410 --> 00:04:59,557
Now you have to go
40
00:05:01,563 --> 00:05:15,700
OK... But I... The person I've been staying with
41
00:05:15,739 --> 00:05:21,624
It's not a... It's a man
42
00:05:24,899 --> 00:05:26,735
A man? -Yes
43
00:05:27,116 --> 00:05:30,100
You're with a man. -Yes I...
44
00:05:30,103 --> 00:05:35,680
I guess I am, yes, it's someone I met recently, for three weeks now, actually, we...
45
00:05:35,562 --> 00:05:41,133
Although I don't know If I, If he wants to continue...
46
00:05:42,181 --> 00:05:49,784
And I'm going kinda crazy, a little, I can't, I don't know what I'll do If he...
47
00:05:50,302 --> 00:05:54,200
I guess it's a surprise to you, that I'm... I hope this its OK
48
00:05:54,311 --> 00:05:58,336
There's no one I can talk to about it, I never wanted to talk about this
49
00:05:59,620 --> 00:06:08,700
But now I'm going pillar to post, looking for, for oh Lord I don't know... Sympathy I suppose
50
00:06:08,769 --> 00:06:14,800
Which I never used to need, which I never wanted, never allowed or even fell for myself
51
00:06:14,885 --> 00:06:17,800
I always found the whole idea of it just contemptible, just repulsive
52
00:06:17,836 --> 00:06:21,987
And I know how preposterous this is, coming at you with this
53
00:06:22,192 --> 00:06:27,278
But I know you care for me. I know that. And I am so... -I gotta...
54
00:06:27,631 --> 00:06:33,299
Oh I'm sorry, I'm... What, the. bathroom or...?
55
00:06:35,682 --> 00:06:42,553
Roy, what are you...? Help, please, I think he...
56
00:06:43,349 --> 00:06:44,500
Holy shit
57
00:06:44,685 --> 00:06:46,900
Get the fuck away from me - Roy, please, get back into...
58
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:49,973
Shut up! Now you listen to me. Get your ass back in that bed
59
00:06:50,282 --> 00:06:55,950
Shut up, I said. I want you home. With your wife. Whatever else you got going, cut it dead
60
00:06:56,410 --> 00:06:59,485
Oh no, I can't, Roy, I need to be with him, I need to
61
00:07:00,307 --> 00:07:04,400
You need? Listen to me. You do what I say. Or you will regret it
62
00:07:04,459 --> 00:07:13,200
And don't talk to me about it ever again. I never saw that coming. You kill me
63
00:07:13,377 --> 00:07:16,460
Get somewhere you can take off that shirt and throw it out, and don't touch the blood
64
00:07:16,678 --> 00:07:17,958
Why? I don't understand
65
00:07:18,739 --> 00:07:23,595
Out! Out! You already got my blessing. What more do you want from me?
66
00:07:24,251 --> 00:07:25,265
Get the fuck outta here!
67
00:07:25,991 --> 00:07:27,736
Please, wait, let me just wait till... Till what?
68
00:07:28,243 --> 00:07:34,147
You what, you want to stay and watch this? Well fuck you too
69
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:26,136
Every goddamn thing I ever wanted, they have taken from me
70
00:08:26,615 --> 00:08:32,298
Mocked and reviled, all my life. Join the club
71
00:08:32,506 --> 00:08:36,458
I don't belong to any club you could get through the front door of
72
00:08:37,529 --> 00:08:47,227
You watch yourself, you take too many liberties. What's your name?
73
00:08:48,112 --> 00:08:59,900
Norman Arriaga. Belize to my friends, but you can call me Norman Arriaga
74
00:09:00,780 --> 00:09:10,900
-Tell me something, Norman, you ever hire a lawyer? - No Roy. Never did
75
00:09:10,951 --> 00:09:16,299
Hire a lawyer, sue somebody, it's good for the soul
76
00:09:20,897 --> 00:09:27,109
Lawyers are the High Priests of America
77
00:09:28,244 --> 00:09:35,156
We alone know the words that made America. out of thin air.
78
00:09:35,766 --> 00:09:47,274
We alone know how to use the words. The Law, the only club I ever wanted to belong to
79
00:09:47,811 --> 00:09:54,771
And before they take that from me, I'm going to die
80
00:10:09,686 --> 00:10:14,236
Fire. Out
81
00:10:16,235 --> 00:10:30,410
God have mercy. This is a lousy way to go. God have mercy
82
00:10:30,684 --> 00:10:33,534
- Look who's back - Who?
83
00:10:33,927 --> 00:10:42,219
Mrs Reddy Kilowatt. Fucking horror. How's Yonkers?
84
00:10:43,610 --> 00:10:46,700
- I almost feel sorry for you - A bad idea
85
00:10:46,742 --> 00:10:51,374
Yeah. Pity. Repulsive
86
00:10:52,125 --> 00:10:58,156
You. Me. No connection
87
00:10:58,449 --> 00:11:05,846
Nobody with me now. But the dead
88
00:11:27,114 --> 00:11:31,959
Oh this is going to be so much worse than I'd imagined
89
00:11:32,872 --> 00:11:36,700
- Hello Fuck you, you little shitbag
90
00:11:36,785 --> 00:11:41,900
Don't waste energy beating up on me, OK? I'm already taking care of that
91
00:11:42,222 --> 00:11:47,321
- Don't see any bruises - Inside
92
00:11:47,330 --> 00:11:57,450
You are one noble guy. Inside. Don't flatter yourself, Louis
93
00:12:03,215 --> 00:12:08,841
So. It's your tea party. Talk
94
00:12:09,214 --> 00:12:14,384
It's good to see you again. I missed you -Talk
95
00:12:14,818 --> 00:12:22,800
-I wanted to try to make up - Make up
96
00:12:22,826 --> 00:12:26,336
-Yes. But... Aha. But
97
00:12:26,354 --> 00:12:31,300
But you don't have to be so hostile. Don't I get any points for trying to arrive at a resolution?
98
00:12:31,365 --> 00:12:35,300
Maybe what I did isn't forgivable, but... - It Isn't
99
00:12:35,312 --> 00:12:42,000
But I'm trying to be responsible, Prior
100
00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:49,400
There are limits. Boundaries. And you have to be reasonable
101
00:12:49,410 --> 00:12:54,533
Why are you dressed like that?
102
00:13:00,299 --> 00:13:04,400
You were saying something about being reasonable
103
00:13:04,448 --> 00:13:10,100
I've been giving this a lot of thought. Yes I fucked up, that's obvious
104
00:13:10,178 --> 00:13:16,300
But maybe you fucked up too. You never trusted me, you never gave me a chance to find my footing...
105
00:13:16,362 --> 00:13:22,600
...not really, you were so quick to attack and I think, maybe just too much of a victim, finally
106
00:13:22,663 --> 00:13:29,400
Passive. Dependent. And what I think is that people do have a choice about how they handle...
107
00:13:29,408 --> 00:13:35,300
You want to come back. Why? Atonement? Exoneration?
108
00:13:35,371 --> 00:13:41,892
I didn't say I wanted to come back
109
00:13:47,830 --> 00:13:51,000
Oh. No, you didn't
110
00:13:51,400 --> 00:14:01,612
I can't. Move in again, start all over again. I don't think it would be any different
111
00:14:02,774 --> 00:14:06,416
You're seeing someone else - What? No
112
00:14:06,513 --> 00:14:10,330
- You are - I'm not
113
00:14:11,619 --> 00:14:15,800
Well, occasionally a... He's just a pickup, how do you...?
114
00:14:15,873 --> 00:14:22,939
Threshold of revelation. Now. Ask me how I know he's a Mormon
115
00:14:30,970 --> 00:14:38,918
Is he a Mormon? Well, goddamn
116
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,200
Ask me how I knew? - How?
117
00:14:42,285 --> 00:14:46,170
Fuck you! I'm a prophet
118
00:14:52,811 --> 00:14:55,300
Reasonable? Limits?
119
00:14:55,319 --> 00:15:04,700
Tell It to my lungs, stupid, tell it to my lesions, tell it to the cotton-woolly patches in my eyes
120
00:15:04,801 --> 00:15:14,906
- Prior, I haven't seen him for days now - I'm going, I have limits too
121
00:15:41,202 --> 00:15:55,813
You cry, but you endanger nothing in yourself. It's like the idea of crying when you do it
122
00:15:56,997 --> 00:15:59,694
Or the idea of love
123
00:16:03,175 --> 00:16:08,100
So. Your boyfriend - He's not my...
124
00:16:08,195 --> 00:16:12,400
-Tell me where you met him. In the park. Well, first at work
125
00:16:12,459 --> 00:16:16,100
- He's a lawyer or a judge? - Lawyer
126
00:16:16,184 --> 00:16:22,800
A Gay Mormon Lawyer -Yes. Republican too
127
00:16:22,841 --> 00:16:29,220
A Gay Mormon Republican Lawyer. Louis!
128
00:16:30,205 --> 00:16:36,400
But he's sort of, I don't know If the word would be... well, in a way sensitive, and I...
129
00:16:36,493 --> 00:16:46,905
Ah. A sensitive Gay Republican. He's just company. Companionship
130
00:16:49,412 --> 00:16:54,352
Companionship. Oh
131
00:16:55,559 --> 00:17:03,741
You know just when I think he couldn't possibly say anything to make it worse, he does
132
00:17:04,235 --> 00:17:13,189
Companionship. How good. I wouldn't want you to be lonely.
133
00:17:13,873 --> 00:17:19,500
There are thousands of gay men In New York City with AIDS
134
00:17:19,591 --> 00:17:29,612
And nearly every one of them is being taken care of by a friend or by a lover...
135
00:17:30,308 --> 00:17:38,573
...who has stuck by them through things worse than my... So far
136
00:17:38,823 --> 00:17:50,957
Everyone got that, except me. I got you. Why? What is wrong with me?
137
00:17:54,465 --> 00:18:02,000
- Louis? Are you really bruised inside? - I can't have this talk anymore
138
00:18:02,340 --> 00:18:10,400
Oh the list of things you can't do. You So fragile! Answer me. Inside, bruises?
139
00:18:10,570 --> 00:18:13,736
- Yes. Come back to me when they're visible
140
00:18:14,386 --> 00:18:19,200
I want to see black and blue, Louis, I want to see blood
141
00:18:19,308 --> 00:18:23,900
Because I can't believe you even have blood in your veins till you show it to me
142
00:18:23,977 --> 00:18:30,596
So don't come near me again, unless you've got something to show
143
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,760
Time to take your pills
144
00:18:44,959 --> 00:18:52,350
What? What time of... Water
145
00:18:59,549 --> 00:19:08,872
Bitter. Look out there. Black midnight
146
00:19:08,974 --> 00:19:14,847
-You want anything? - Nothing that comes from there
147
00:19:15,757 --> 00:19:22,555
As far as I'm concerned you can take all that away
148
00:19:24,868 --> 00:19:27,847
Oh... What?
149
00:19:28,381 --> 00:19:37,220
Oh. The bogeyman is here. Lookit, Ma, a schvartze toytenmann
150
00:19:38,121 --> 00:19:43,300
Come in, sweetheart, what took you so long?
151
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:50,590
You're flying, Roy. It's the morphine. They put morphine in the drip to stop the...
152
00:19:50,980 --> 00:20:01,777
-You awake? Can you see who I am? Oh yeah, you came for my mama, years ago
153
00:20:02,573 --> 00:20:14,500
You wrap your arms around me now. Squeeze the bloody life from me. OK?
154
00:20:14,631 --> 00:20:19,634
No, it's not OK. You're stoned, Roy
155
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:42,680
Dark strong arms, take me like that. Deep and sincere but not too rough
156
00:20:45,460 --> 00:20:50,884
Just open me up to the end of me
157
00:20:54,904 --> 00:20:58,489
Who am I, Roy?
158
00:21:00,583 --> 00:21:07,333
The negro night nurse, my negation
159
00:21:08,980 --> 00:21:17,860
You've come to escort me to the underworld. Come on
160
00:21:21,310 --> 00:21:28,115
You want me in your bed, Roy? You want me to take you away?
161
00:21:28,136 --> 00:21:32,817
- I'm ready - I'll be coming for you soon
162
00:21:33,140 --> 00:21:38,229
Everything I want is in the end of you
163
00:21:39,549 --> 00:21:44,000
- Let me ask you something, sir. - Sir?
164
00:21:44,710 --> 00:21:47,600
- What's it like? After? - After...?
165
00:21:47,620 --> 00:21:54,220
- This misery ends - Hell or Heaven?
166
00:21:54,283 --> 00:21:59,835
Aw, come on. Jesus Christ, who has time for these games?
167
00:22:00,386 --> 00:22:08,969
- Like San Francisco - A city. Good
168
00:22:09,339 --> 00:22:18,963
I was worried it'd be a garden. I hate that shit
169
00:22:19,406 --> 00:22:26,510
Big city, overgrown with weeds, but flowering weeds
170
00:22:26,808 --> 00:22:34,200
On every corner a wrecking crew and something new and crooked going up catty-corner to that
171
00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:37,600
Windows missing in every edifice like broken teeth
172
00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:44,100
Fierce gusts of gritty wind, and a gray, high sky full of ravens
173
00:22:44,152 --> 00:22:48,235
-Isaiah Prophet birds. Roy
174
00:22:48,905 --> 00:22:58,169
Piles of trash, but lapidary like rubies and obsidian, and diamond-colored cowspit streamers in the wind
175
00:22:58,641 --> 00:23:07,355
-And voting booths -And a dragon atop a golden horde
176
00:23:08,475 --> 00:23:12,500
And everyone in Balenciaga gowns with red corsages
177
00:23:12,593 --> 00:23:20,721
And big dance palaces full of music and lights and racial impurity and gender confusion
178
00:23:22,432 --> 00:23:34,186
And all the deities are Creole, mulatto, brown as the mouths of rivers
179
00:23:34,681 --> 00:23:48,162
Race, taste and history finally overcome. And you ain't there
180
00:23:49,610 --> 00:23:56,619
- And Heaven? - That was Heaven, Roy
181
00:23:58,801 --> 00:24:02,534
The fuck it was
182
00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:13,636
- Who are you? - Your negation
183
00:24:14,245 --> 00:24:24,963
Yeah. I know you. Nothing. A stomach grumble that wakes you in the night
184
00:24:25,542 --> 00:24:34,860
Been nice talking to you. Go to sleep now, baby. I'm just the shadow on your grave
185
00:24:50,845 --> 00:24:52,600
- That's his office. This is stupid
186
00:24:52,685 --> 00:24:55,500
Go home If you're chicken. You're the one who should be home
187
00:24:55,549 --> 00:24:59,506
I have a hobby now. Haunting people
188
00:25:01,891 --> 00:25:07,458
Fuck home. You wait here. I want to meet my replacement
189
00:25:14,338 --> 00:25:16,400
Oh -Yes. can I...
190
00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:21,444
You look just like the dummy. She's right
191
00:25:22,793 --> 00:25:25,403
Who's right? Your wife
192
00:25:25,951 --> 00:25:27,800
- What? Do you know my... - No
193
00:25:27,845 --> 00:25:29,000
You said my wife -No I didn't
194
00:25:29,290 --> 00:25:32,200
- Yes you did -You misheard. I'm a prophet
195
00:25:32,259 --> 00:25:39,660
What? Prophet. Prophet. I prophesy. I have sight. I see
196
00:25:39,675 --> 00:25:42,300
-What do you do? - I'm a clerk
197
00:25:42,364 --> 00:25:49,600
Oh big deal. A clerk. You what, you file things?
198
00:25:49,631 --> 00:25:56,470
Well you better be keeping a file on the hearts you break, that's all that counts in the end
199
00:25:56,216 --> 00:26:07,873
You'll have bills to pay in the world to come, you and yourfriend, the Whore of Babylon
200
00:26:10,413 --> 00:26:14,288
Sorry wrong room
201
00:26:20,277 --> 00:26:24,870
He's the Marlboro Man. Oooh, I wanna see
202
00:26:24,887 --> 00:26:27,501
Sacred Heart of Jesus! Now what ts...
203
00:26:27,902 --> 00:26:30,000
You're Roy's nurse. I recognize you - No you don't
204
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,000
- From the hospital. You're Roy Cohn's nurse - No I'm not. Not a nurse
205
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,743
We all look alike to you. You all look alike to us
206
00:26:37,529 --> 00:26:41,187
It's a mad mad world. Have a nice day
207
00:26:42,396 --> 00:26:45,974
- Home on the range? Chaps and spurs. Now girl, we got to get you home
208
00:26:46,404 --> 00:26:54,250
Mega-butch. He made me feel beyond nelly. Like little wispy daisies were sprouting out my ears
209
00:26:54,499 --> 00:26:56,700
- Little droopy wispy wilted... Run, run!
210
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,403
What game are you playing, this is a federal courthouse
211
00:27:04,105 --> 00:27:09,600
You said something about my wife. Now what... How do you know my...
212
00:27:09,679 --> 00:27:18,900
- I'm... Nothing. I'm a mental patient. He's my nurse - Not his nurse, I'm not a...
213
00:27:18,964 --> 00:27:27,600
We're here because my will is being contested. What is that called, when they challenge your will?
214
00:27:27,689 --> 00:27:29,900
Competency. But this is an appellate court
215
00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:37,700
And I am appealing to anyone, anyone in the universe, who will listen to me for some charity
216
00:27:37,870 --> 00:27:45,900
Some people are so greedy, such pigs, they have everything, health, everything, and still they want more
217
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:48,800
You said my wife. And I want to know, is she...
218
00:27:48,919 --> 00:27:55,703
Talk to her yourself, bullwinkle. What do I look like, a marriage counsel?
219
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,900
Oh, nursey dear, fetch the medication, I'm starting to rave
220
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,720
Pardons, Monsieur l'Avocat, nous sommes absolutement desolee
221
00:28:11,482 --> 00:28:16,528
Behave yourself, cherie or nanny will have to use the wooden spoon
222
00:28:18,437 --> 00:28:25,729
I am trapped in a world of white people. That's my problem
223
00:28:47,232 --> 00:28:50,120
-Nice angel. -What angel?
224
00:28:50,168 --> 00:28:54,600
The fountain - Bethesda
225
00:28:54,681 --> 00:28:59,922
What's she commemorate, Louis? I'll bet you know -The Croton Aqueduct, I think
226
00:29:00,342 --> 00:29:05,300
Right after the Civil War. Prior loves this... The Civil War. I knew you'd know
227
00:29:05,337 --> 00:29:08,000
I know all sorts of things. The sculptress was a lesbian
228
00:29:08,850 --> 00:29:13,300
Oh, a sister! That a fact? You are nothing If not well Informed
229
00:29:13,495 --> 00:29:18,500
- Listen. I saw Prior yesterday - Prior is upset
230
00:29:18,552 --> 00:29:22,700
This guy I'm seeing, i'm not seeing him now. Prior misunderstood, he jumped to...
231
00:29:22,821 --> 00:29:29,199
Oh yeah. Your new beau. Prior and me, we went to the courthouse. Scoped him out
232
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,600
-You had no right to do that -Oh did we violate your rights?
233
00:29:33,732 --> 00:29:36,150
Yeah, sort of, and, and... -You walk out on your lover...
234
00:29:36,178 --> 00:29:40,883
Days don't pass before you are out on the town with somebody new
235
00:29:41,238 --> 00:29:48,926
This is a record low. Sharing your dank and dirty bed with Roy Cohn's buttboy
236
00:29:48,940 --> 00:29:51,700
Come again? Doesn't that bother you at all?
237
00:29:51,797 --> 00:29:55,900
Roy Cohn? What the fuck are you... I am not sharing my bed with Roy Cohn's...
238
00:29:55,982 --> 00:29:59,000
Your little friend didn't tell you, huh? You and Hoss Cartwright...
239
00:29:59,102 --> 00:30:01,900
...it's not a verbal kind of thing, you just kick off your boots and hit the hay
240
00:30:01,958 --> 00:30:07,500
Joe Pitt is not Roy Cohn's... Joe is a very moral man
241
00:30:07,513 --> 00:30:11,756
He's not even that conservative, or, well not that kind of a...
242
00:30:11,873 --> 00:30:14,201
-And I don't want to continue this - Bye-bye
243
00:30:14,909 --> 00:30:20,800
It's not my fault that Prior left you for me. I beg your pardon
244
00:30:20,808 --> 00:30:23,900
You have always hated me. Because you are in love with Prior
245
00:30:23,902 --> 00:30:29,656
And you were when I met him and he fell In love with me, and so now you cook up this...
246
00:30:29,952 --> 00:30:32,800
I mean how do you know this? That Joe and Roy Cohn are...
247
00:30:32,894 --> 00:30:36,501
I don't know whether Mr Cohn has penetrated more than his spiritual sphincter
248
00:30:36,701 --> 00:30:40,800
All I'm saying is you better hope there's no GOP germ, Louis, cause If there is, you got it
249
00:30:40,872 --> 00:30:44,700
I don't believe you. Not Roy Cohn. Joe wouldn't... Not Roy Cohn
250
00:30:44,747 --> 00:30:50,000
He's like the polestar of human evil, he's like the worst human being who ever lived
251
00:30:50,510 --> 00:30:55,900
The damage he's done, the years and years of criminality, that whole era, that...
252
00:30:56,226 --> 00:31:03,277
Give me fucking credit for something, please, some little moral shred of something
253
00:31:03,884 --> 00:31:07,900
OK sure I fucked up, I have fucked up everything
254
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:13,200
I didn't want to, to face what I needed to face, what life was insisting I face. But I don't know
255
00:31:13,288 --> 00:31:23,200
I've always felt you had to take action, not sit, not to be trapped, stuck, paralyzed by...
256
00:31:23,221 --> 00:31:33,200
Even If It's hard, or really terrifying, or even If It does damage, you have to keep moving forward
257
00:31:33,294 --> 00:31:42,200
Instead of... I can't just, you know, sit around feeling shit, or feeling like shit
258
00:31:42,208 --> 00:31:55,479
I cry way way too easily, I fall apart, I'm no good unless I strike out at...
259
00:31:55,502 --> 00:32:02,700
Which is easy because I'm so fucking furious at my... So I fucked up spectacularly, totally
260
00:32:02,708 --> 00:32:07,900
I've ruined my life, and his life, I've hurt him so badly
261
00:32:07,952 --> 00:32:15,673
But still, even I, even I am not so utterly lost inside myself that I...
262
00:32:16,215 --> 00:32:23,600
I wouldn't, ever, like, sleep with someone who... someone who's Roy Cohn's...
263
00:32:23,928 --> 00:32:29,574
- Buttboy -Oh no
264
00:32:30,510 --> 00:32:32,785
You know what your problem is, Louis?
265
00:32:33,490 --> 00:32:38,668
Your problem is that you are so full of piping hot crap that the mention of your name draws files
266
00:32:39,386 --> 00:32:45,792
You don't even know Thing One about this guy, do you?
267
00:32:46,529 --> 00:32:49,859
Uh-huh. Well ain't that pathetic
268
00:32:50,620 --> 00:32:56,700
Just so's the record's straight, I love Prior but I was never In love with him
269
00:32:56,779 --> 00:33:01,900
I have a man, uptown, and I have since long before I first laid my eyes on the sorry-ass sight of you
270
00:33:01,992 --> 00:33:05,719
- I didn't know that you...No cause you never bothered to ask
271
00:33:05,730 --> 00:33:10,000
Up in the air, just like that angel, too far off the earth to pick out the details
272
00:33:10,670 --> 00:33:16,400
Louis and his Big Ideas. Big Ideas are all you love
273
00:33:16,411 --> 00:33:20,872
-America is what Louis loves. So what? Maybe I do
274
00:33:20,981 --> 00:33:27,300
You don't know what I love. You don't - Well I hate America, Louis. I hate this country
275
00:33:27,380 --> 00:33:32,857
It's just big ideas, and stories, and people dying, and people like you
276
00:33:32,888 --> 00:33:36,200
The white cracker who wrote the National Anthem knew what he was doing
277
00:33:36,245 --> 00:33:40,703
He set the word 'free' to a note so high nobody can reach It
278
00:33:41,559 --> 00:33:46,100
That was deliberate. Nothing on earth sounds less like freedom to me
279
00:33:46,201 --> 00:33:55,490
You come with me to room 1013 over at the hospital, I'll show you America. Terminal, crazy and mean
280
00:33:56,967 --> 00:34:02,890
I live in America, Louis, that's hard enough, I don't have to love it
281
00:34:03,499 --> 00:34:09,600
You do that. Everybody's got to love something
282
00:34:12,466 --> 00:34:15,628
Everybody does
283
00:34:50,486 --> 00:34:55,300
-You shouldn't have come. - You already made that clear as day
284
00:34:55,357 --> 00:34:59,200
I'm sorry. I don't understand why you're here
285
00:34:59,218 --> 00:35:04,100
For more than two weeks. You can't even return a simple phone call
286
00:35:04,117 --> 00:35:07,700
I just don't have anything to say. I have nothing to say
287
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:13,157
You could tell me so I could tell her where you are
288
00:35:13,483 --> 00:35:17,400
You've been living on some rainy rooftop for all we knew. It's cruel
289
00:35:17,489 --> 00:35:19,800
- Not intended to be - You're sure about that
290
00:35:19,829 --> 00:35:22,800
I'm taking her home. -You think that's best for her, you think that she should
291
00:35:22,886 --> 00:35:25,612
I know what I'm doing. I don't think you have a clue
292
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:32,700
You can afford not to. You're a man, you botch up, It's not a big deal, but she's been...
293
00:35:32,799 --> 00:35:39,871
Just being a man doesn't mean anything. It's still a big deal, Ma. Botching up
294
00:35:40,270 --> 00:35:42,502
And nothing works
295
00:35:43,700 --> 00:35:52,600
Not all my... oh, you know, my effortful clinging to the good, to what's right, not pursuing freedom, or happiness
296
00:35:52,622 --> 00:35:59,700
Nothing, nothing works anymore, nothing I try fixes anything at all, nothing
297
00:35:59,744 --> 00:36:11,174
I have got nothing, now, my whole life, all I've done is make botches
298
00:36:15,211 --> 00:36:20,536
I'm really bewildered
299
00:36:24,570 --> 00:36:30,286
Being a woman's harder. Look at her
300
00:36:31,630 --> 00:36:39,598
You and me. It's like we're back In Salt Lake again. You sort of bring the desert with you
301
00:36:40,284 --> 00:36:43,153
Is she...? She's not here
302
00:36:43,257 --> 00:36:46,900
But I went to the apartment. She Isn't... - Then she's escaped
303
00:36:47,336 --> 00:36:50,986
I think maybe motion's better for her right now, being out and away
304
00:36:51,346 --> 00:36:53,500
It's raining. She can't be out on her own
305
00:36:53,549 --> 00:36:55,500
Can I help Iook for... -There's nothing you can do
306
00:36:55,567 --> 00:36:57,900
You should go, Ma, you should go back home. It's a terrible time
307
00:36:57,997 --> 00:36:59,900
You never wanted to visit before. You shouldn't have
308
00:36:59,932 --> 00:37:02,000
-You never asked me. You didn't have to
309
00:37:02,700 --> 00:37:08,100
I didn't and I shouldn't and I don't know why I did, but I'm here, so let me help
310
00:37:08,142 --> 00:37:12,400
She's my responsibility, Ma. Fly home. Please
311
00:37:12,466 --> 00:37:17,630
-I can't -Why?
312
00:37:17,989 --> 00:37:23,251
I... Aunt Libby thought she'd smelled radon gas in the basement
313
00:37:23,736 --> 00:37:25,649
- What? Of the house
314
00:37:26,130 --> 00:37:31,680
You can't smell radon gas, It has no smell, and since when do you listen to Libby?
315
00:37:31,325 --> 00:37:35,700
I acted on Impulse, and I... - I can't... could we talk about this another tIme?
316
00:37:35,774 --> 00:37:41,300
That thing you told me, that night. On the tetephone, from Central Park. When you were drinking
317
00:37:41,322 --> 00:37:44,700
No, we can't do that. Not now. I don't want to -You said you thought you...
318
00:37:44,710 --> 00:37:50,200
- I don't want to talk about It. Forget It - But I think maybe now we ought to...
319
00:37:50,302 --> 00:37:59,586
No! And do what? Pray together? No, I couldn't stomach the prospect
320
00:38:13,614 --> 00:38:26,253
-Are you...? I'm sorry. Don't cry - Don't be stupid
321
00:38:27,582 --> 00:38:34,538
And If I ever do I promise you you'll not be privileged to witness It
322
00:38:38,926 --> 00:38:46,841
- I should... Is there really radon gas in the...? Just go.
323
00:38:51,419 --> 00:38:55,678
I'll pay to change your ticket
324
00:39:16,887 --> 00:39:19,900
-That man who was just here - We're closed. Go away
325
00:39:19,943 --> 00:39:23,939
He's your son
326
00:39:27,579 --> 00:39:36,100
Do you know him. That man? How do you know him, that he's my...?
327
00:39:36,184 --> 00:39:39,405
My ex-boyfriend, he knows him
328
00:39:40,582 --> 00:39:49,657
I shadowed him, all the way up from... I wanted to warn him about later
329
00:39:50,641 --> 00:39:58,800
When his hair goes and there's hips and jowls and all that human stuff
330
00:39:58,846 --> 00:40:05,800
That poor slob there's just gonna wind up miserable, fat, frightened and alone
331
00:40:05,927 --> 00:40:10,989
Because Louis, he can't handle bodies
332
00:40:12,893 --> 00:40:17,412
Are you a homosexual?
333
00:40:17,566 --> 00:40:23,400
Oh Is It that obvious? Yes I am. What's it to you?
334
00:40:23,446 --> 00:40:27,000
Would you say you are a typical homosexual?
335
00:40:27,210 --> 00:40:30,848
Me? Oh I'm stereotypical
336
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:36,000
-What, you mean like am I a hairdresser or...? - Are you a hairdresser?
337
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:42,930
Well It would be your lucky day If I was. Because frankly...
338
00:40:50,768 --> 00:40:56,701
I'm sick. I'm sick. It's expensive
339
00:41:00,970 --> 00:41:20,381
Oh shit now I won't be able to stop, now It's started. I feel really terrible, do I have a fever?
340
00:41:21,964 --> 00:41:24,969
Do I have a fever?
341
00:41:27,189 --> 00:41:28,600
-Yes. How high?
342
00:41:28,706 --> 00:41:32,802
-There might be a thermometer in the... Very high, very high
343
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:42,900
Could you get me to a cab, I think I want... Don't be alarmed, It's worse than it looks, I mean...
344
00:41:42,931 --> 00:41:50,134
You should try to stand up, or... Let me see If anyone can...
345
00:41:57,317 --> 00:42:06,000
Echo-breath, It's... I overdid It. I'm In trouble again
346
00:42:06,470 --> 00:42:12,597
Take me to Saint Vincent's Hospital, I mean, help me to a cab
347
00:42:13,526 --> 00:42:18,921
Can you stand up? -You don't... Call me a cab
348
00:42:19,810 --> 00:42:22,742
I'm useless here
349
00:42:26,866 --> 00:42:32,778
Look, If you're trying to convert me, this isn't a good time
350
00:42:34,844 --> 00:42:41,330
Lord, look at it out there. It's pitch-black. We better move
351
00:42:58,466 --> 00:43:02,214
The end of the world is at hand
352
00:43:04,866 --> 00:43:07,899
Hello, pale face
353
00:43:08,787 --> 00:43:13,900
Nothing like storm clouds over Manhattan to get you In the mood for Judgment Day
354
00:43:13,995 --> 00:43:20,589
It's freezing, It's raining, where are your shoes? I threw them In the river
355
00:43:21,668 --> 00:43:28,000
The Judgment Day. Everyone will think they're crazy now, not just me
356
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:38,137
Everyone will see things. Sick men will see angels, women who have houses will sell their houses
357
00:43:38,689 --> 00:43:46,330
Dimestore dummies will rear up on their wood-putty legs and roam the land, looking for brides
358
00:43:46,107 --> 00:43:49,129
- Let's go home - Where's that?
359
00:43:51,191 --> 00:43:54,400
Want to buy an Island? It's going out of business
360
00:43:54,480 --> 00:44:00,300
You can have it for the usual cheap trinkets. Fire sale. The prices are Insane
361
00:44:00,475 --> 00:44:08,435
- Harper. Joe. Did you miss me?
362
00:44:09,399 --> 00:44:15,184
- I've come back. Oh I know
363
00:44:16,478 --> 00:44:21,277
Here's why I wanted to stay In Brooklyn. The Promenade view
364
00:44:23,598 --> 00:44:29,535
Water won't ever accomplish the end. No matter how much you cry
365
00:44:29,981 --> 00:44:37,820
Flood's not the answer, people just float
366
00:44:39,610 --> 00:44:41,939
Let's go home
367
00:44:48,397 --> 00:44:59,854
Fire's the answer. The Great and Terrible Day. At Iast
368
00:45:21,973 --> 00:45:25,721
You've lost eight pounds. Eight pounds!
369
00:45:25,802 --> 00:45:32,300
I know people who would kill to be in the shape you were In, you were recovering, and you threw It away
370
00:45:32,361 --> 00:45:39,700
ThIs isn't about weight, It's about lungs, pneumonia
371
00:45:39,745 --> 00:45:43,200
We don't know yet - The fuck we don't, asshole
372
00:45:43,287 --> 00:45:50,337
You may not but I can't breathe. You'd breathe better If you didn't holler like that
373
00:45:51,526 --> 00:45:57,939
This is my ex-lover's lover's Mormon mother
374
00:46:01,434 --> 00:46:07,169
Keep breathing. Stop moving. Stay put
375
00:46:09,638 --> 00:46:12,740
- I should go - I'm not insane
376
00:46:12,733 --> 00:46:19,178
-I didn't say you... I saw an angel. That's insane
377
00:46:19,792 --> 00:46:23,800
WeII, It's... Insane. But I'm not Insane. Do I seem Insane?
378
00:46:23,890 --> 00:46:27,600
-You... I'm not sure I... - Oh for pity fucking sake just answer the fucking...
379
00:46:27,682 --> 00:46:34,290
- No. Driven, and rude, but... But then why did I do this to myself?
380
00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:41,800
Because I have been driven Insane by your son and by that lying...
381
00:46:41,872 --> 00:46:51,100
Because I'm consumed by this Ice-cold, razorblade terror that shouts and shouts...
382
00:46:51,168 --> 00:46:55,800
'Don't stay still, get out of bed, keep moving. Run
383
00:46:55,896 --> 00:47:03,136
And I've run myself into the ground. Right where She said I'd eventually be
384
00:47:04,907 --> 00:47:08,700
What's happened to me? She seemed so real
385
00:47:08,105 --> 00:47:13,870
Who? Oh, the...
386
00:47:15,329 --> 00:47:24,431
Could be you had a vision - A vision. Thank you, Maria Ouspenskaya
387
00:47:24,625 --> 00:47:28,558
Peopte have visions - No they... Not sane people
388
00:47:29,384 --> 00:47:39,101
One hundred and seventy years ago, which is recent, an angel of God appeared to Joseph Smith
389
00:47:39,143 --> 00:47:47,352
In Upstate New York, not far from here But that's ridiculous
390
00:47:47,793 --> 00:47:52,612
It's not polite to call other people's beliefs ridiculous
391
00:47:52,858 --> 00:47:56,523
- I dIdn't mean to... I believe this
392
00:47:56,642 --> 00:48:00,772
He had great need of understanding, our Prophet
393
00:48:01,391 --> 00:48:09,900
His desire made prayer. His prayer made an angel. The angel was real. I believe that
394
00:48:09,987 --> 00:48:15,800
I don't. And I'm sorry but It's repellent to me. So much of what you believe
395
00:48:15,801 --> 00:48:17,596
What do I believe?
396
00:48:19,915 --> 00:48:28,300
I'm a homosexual. With AIDS. I can only Imagine what you...
397
00:48:28,344 --> 00:48:34,998
No you can't. Imagine. The things In my head
398
00:48:35,576 --> 00:48:42,861
You don't make assumptions about me, mister. I won't make them about you
399
00:48:45,806 --> 00:48:48,593
Fair nough
400
00:48:52,368 --> 00:49:06,700
My son is... well, like you -Homosexual
401
00:49:06,799 --> 00:49:16,422
I flew Into a rage when he told me, mad as August hornets. At first I assumed It was about his...
402
00:49:19,124 --> 00:49:25,127
- Homosexuality. But that wasn't it
403
00:49:25,631 --> 00:49:43,268
Homosexuality. I don't find It an appetizing notion, two men, together, but men In any configuration...
404
00:49:43,576 --> 00:49:48,900
That wasn't it. Stupidity gets me cross, but that wasn't it either
405
00:49:48,983 --> 00:49:55,453
I flew Into a rage, filled with rage, then the rage lifted me up
406
00:49:55,739 --> 00:50:08,831
I felt... Truly I felt lefted up, Into the air. And I flew
407
00:50:12,414 --> 00:50:17,886
I wish you would be more true to your demographic profile
408
00:50:29,591 --> 00:50:38,445
Lie stiII. You'II be all right. -No. I won't be
409
00:50:39,504 --> 00:50:48,411
My lungs are getting tighter. The fever mounts and you get delirious
410
00:50:48,509 --> 00:50:56,616
And then days of delirium and awful pain and drugs, you start slipping and then...
411
00:51:04,616 --> 00:51:12,955
I really fucked up. I'm scared. I can't do it again
412
00:51:13,134 --> 00:51:20,272
You shouldn't talk that way. You ought to make a better show of yourself
413
00:51:21,637 --> 00:51:28,715
Look at this horror
414
00:51:30,265 --> 00:51:43,891
See? See that? That's not human. That's why I run
415
00:51:47,147 --> 00:52:05,672
It's a cancer. Nothing more. Nothing more human than that
416
00:52:58,774 --> 00:53:04,700
Do Mormons read the, you know, the Bible? Or just the...
417
00:53:04,731 --> 00:53:14,854
- The Book of Mormon is a part of the... Don't get technical, you know what I mean
418
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:19,608
- The other parts, the Old Testament part - I've read the...
419
00:53:19,678 --> 00:53:26,600
The prophets In the Bible, do they ever refuse their visions?
420
00:53:26,701 --> 00:53:32,420
One did. There might be others - And what does God do to them when they do that?
421
00:53:32,277 --> 00:53:36,137
He feeds them to whales
422
00:54:00,363 --> 00:54:04,251
Stay with me. Oh no
423
00:54:05,340 --> 00:54:10,796
Just till I sleep. You comfort me
424
00:54:10,869 --> 00:54:19,516
-Oh, I... -You do, you stiffen my spine
425
00:54:21,450 --> 00:54:28,742
I'm not needed else where, I suppose I...
426
00:54:31,704 --> 00:54:33,200
When I got up this morning...
427
00:54:33,250 --> 00:54:40,187
- ...this is not how I envisioned the day would end - Me neither
428
00:54:41,265 --> 00:54:50,143
An angel Is a belief. With wings and arms that can carry you
429
00:54:50,234 --> 00:54:55,645
- If It lets you down, reject it. Huh
430
00:54:56,388 --> 00:55:02,332
- There's scriptural precedent. And then what?
431
00:55:02,447 --> 00:55:05,410
Seek something new
432
00:55:22,369 --> 00:55:26,460
When we have sex, why do you keep your eyes closed?
433
00:55:27,410 --> 00:55:28,800
- I don't - You always do
434
00:55:28,904 --> 00:55:32,800
You can say why, I already know the answer - Then why do I have to...
435
00:55:32,841 --> 00:55:41,155
-You Imagine things. Imagine men - Yes
436
00:55:42,708 --> 00:55:51,540
Imagining, just like me, except the only time I wasn't Imagining was when I was with you
437
00:55:52,510 --> 00:55:57,500
You, the one part of the real world I wasn't allergic to
438
00:55:57,585 --> 00:56:03,555
- Please. Don't - But I only thought I wasn't dreaming
439
00:56:07,372 --> 00:56:14,300
Oh. Back In Brooklyn, back with Joe
440
00:56:14,414 --> 00:56:19,973
I am going out. I have to get some stuff left behind
441
00:56:21,130 --> 00:56:33,123
Look at me. Look at me. Look at me
442
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:38,300
Here! Look here at... What?
443
00:56:38,345 --> 00:56:40,200
-What do you see? -What do I...?
444
00:56:40,391 --> 00:56:49,676
-What do you see? - NothIng, I... I see nothing
445
00:56:53,470 --> 00:56:58,330
FinaIIy. The truth
446
00:56:59,871 --> 00:57:07,411
I'm going. Out. Just out
447
00:57:12,905 --> 00:57:19,414
It sets you free. Good-bye
448
00:57:27,995 --> 00:57:38,549
-LouIs. Please let me In. You're In
449
00:57:46,971 --> 00:57:54,548
You weren't at work. For three days now. You... I wish you'd get a phone
450
00:57:55,226 --> 00:57:59,402
I'm staying In a hotel, near Fulton Street. It's kind of...
451
00:57:59,509 --> 00:58:03,000
-You said you'd call, or... -No I never
452
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,400
OK I expected you to call me, I hoped...
453
00:58:06,434 --> 00:58:08,900
Have you no decency, sir?' Who said that?
454
00:58:08,963 --> 00:58:10,700
I'm having a very hard time with this
455
00:58:10,797 --> 00:58:15,500
At tong Iast? Have you no sense of decency?' Come on, who said it?
456
00:58:15,572 --> 00:58:17,800
-Who sai...? -Who said, Have you no decency?
457
00:58:17,836 --> 00:58:22,700
I don't... I'm not Interested in playing guessing games, Louis, please stop and let me...
458
00:58:22,783 --> 00:58:25,200
You really don't know who said ˜Have you no decency?'
459
00:58:25,285 --> 00:58:34,265
- I want to tell you something, I want to... OK, second question: Have you no decency?
460
00:58:34,875 --> 00:58:38,400
Guess what I spent the rainy afternoon doing? - What?
461
00:58:38,452 --> 00:58:44,800
Research at the courthouse. Look what I got. The Decisions of Justice Theodore Wilson
462
00:58:44,822 --> 00:58:50,600
Second Circuit Court of Appeals. 1981-1984 The Reagan Years
463
00:58:50,606 --> 00:58:56,800
- You read my decisions. Your decisions. Yes
464
00:58:56,870 --> 00:59:03,900
The librarian's gay, he has all the good dish, he told me that Justice Wilson didn't write these opinions...
465
00:59:03,931 --> 00:59:08,300
...any more than Nixon wrote SIX Crises Or Kennedy wrote Profiles In Courage
466
00:59:08,377 --> 00:59:12,700
Or Reagan wrote Where's the Rest of Me? Or you and I wrote the Book of Love
467
00:59:12,723 --> 00:59:17,700
These gems were ghost written by you, his obedient clerk
468
00:59:17,771 --> 00:59:22,000
OK, we can talk about the decisions, If that's what you want
469
00:59:22,830 --> 00:59:26,473
Or Prior, If you want to talk about... If you saw him
470
00:59:26,902 --> 00:59:32,300
I'm... Well I'm relieved you're here. I was scared you'd have moved back, I mean out. I'm...
471
00:59:32,375 --> 00:59:36,000
Oh God It's so good to see you again. Hey!
472
00:59:36,580 --> 00:59:39,300
- Naturally I was eager to read them - Free country
473
00:59:39,391 --> 00:59:45,900
I love the one where you found against those women on Staten Island who were suing the New Jersey factory
474
00:59:45,942 --> 00:59:51,300
The toothpaste makers whose orange-colored smoke was blinding chiIdren
475
00:59:51,359 --> 00:59:57,200
Not blind, just minor Irritation -Three of them had to be hospitalized, Joe
476
00:59:57,310 --> 01:00:01,100
It's sort of brilliant, In a satanic sort of way... I don't believe this
477
01:00:01,162 --> 01:00:06,100
How you concluded that these women had no right to sue under the Air and Water Protection Act
478
01:00:06,153 --> 01:00:12,770
My opinions are being criticized by the guy who changes the coffee filters In the secretaries' lounge
479
01:00:15,296 --> 01:00:22,600
Because the Air and Water Protection Act doesn't protect people, but actually only air and water
480
01:00:22,688 --> 01:00:24,500
It's not your fault that you have no idea what you're talking about
481
01:00:24,597 --> 01:00:27,800
But It's unbelievable to me how total ignorance Is no Impediment for you In forming haIf-baked...
482
01:00:27,856 --> 01:00:33,252
...uninformed snap judgments masquerading as adult opinions, you child
483
01:00:33,322 --> 01:00:37,600
But my absolute favorite is this. Stephens versus the United States
484
01:00:37,665 --> 01:00:41,600
Of course. I was waiting for that one. It's a complicated case, you don't...
485
01:00:41,612 --> 01:00:45,600
The army guy who got a dishonorable discharge for being gay
486
01:00:45,656 --> 01:00:50,450
Now as I understand It, this Stephens told the army he was gay when he enlisted
487
01:00:50,510 --> 01:00:56,000
But when he got ready to retire they booted him out. Cheat the queer of his pension
488
01:00:56,250 --> 01:00:59,700
Right. And he sued. And he won. He got the pension back. And then the...
489
01:00:59,714 --> 01:01:02,900
The first judges gave him his pension back, yes
490
01:01:02,933 --> 01:01:07,300
Because they ruled that gay men are members of a legitimate minority...
491
01:01:07,377 --> 01:01:14,000
...entitled to the special protection under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution
492
01:01:14,250 --> 01:01:23,600
Equal Protection under the Law. I can just imagine how that momentary lapse into, you know, sanity was received
493
01:01:23,643 --> 01:01:28,600
So then all the judges on the Second CircuIt were hastily assembled, and...
494
01:01:28,674 --> 01:01:33,518
- And they found for the guy again -But but but
495
01:01:33,678 --> 01:01:42,000
On an 'equitable estoppel'. I had to look that up, I'm Mr Coffee, I can't be expected to know these things
496
01:01:42,102 --> 01:01:48,000
They didn't change the decision, they just changed the reason for the decision. Right?
497
01:01:48,270 --> 01:01:53,600
They gave it to him on a technicality. The army knew Stephens was gay when he enlisted
498
01:01:53,651 --> 01:02:02,100
That's all, that's why he won. Not because It's unconstitutional to discriminate against homosexuals
499
01:02:02,128 --> 01:02:09,600
Because homosexuals, they write, are not entitled to equal protection under the law
500
01:02:09,693 --> 01:02:14,600
Not, not Insofar as precedence determines the... which Is how law works, as opposed to...
501
01:02:14,616 --> 01:02:17,500
The definition of a suspect class, which you probably've never...
502
01:02:17,545 --> 01:02:24,000
Actually they didn't write this. You did. They gave this opinion to Wilson to write
503
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:28,500
Which since they know he's a vegetable Incapable of writing do-re-mi...
504
01:02:28,561 --> 01:02:34,400
...was quite the vote of confidence In his Industrious little sidekick
505
01:02:34,444 --> 01:02:43,000
This Is an Important bit of legal fag-bashing, Isn't It? They trusted you to do It. And you din't disappoint
506
01:02:43,130 --> 01:02:49,000
It's law not justice, It's power, not the merits of its exercise, It's not an expression of the ideal, It's...
507
01:02:49,610 --> 01:02:53,700
So who said, Have you no decency?' - I didn't come here to... I'm leaving
508
01:02:53,796 --> 01:03:00,300
-You moron, how can you not know that? - I'm leaving, you son of a bitch, get out of my way
509
01:03:00,357 --> 01:03:04,400
It's only the greatest punchline In American history. Out of my way, Louis
510
01:03:04,435 --> 01:03:11,400
Have you no decency, at long Iast, sir, have you no decency at all?
511
01:03:11,423 --> 01:03:14,600
I don't know who said It! Why are you doing this to me?
512
01:03:14,683 --> 01:03:21,800
I love you! Please believe me, I love you. Stop hurting me like...
513
01:03:21,866 --> 01:03:30,374
Joseph Welch. The Army-McCarthy hearings. Ask Roy. He'll tell you. He knows. He was there
514
01:03:32,763 --> 01:03:43,500
- Roy Cohn. What I want to know Is, did you fuck him? DId I what?
515
01:03:43,584 --> 01:03:49,000
How often has the latex-sheathed cock I put In my mouth been previously In the mouth...
516
01:03:49,610 --> 01:03:55,600
...of the most evil, twisted, vicious bastard ever to snort COKE at Studio 54?
517
01:03:55,605 --> 01:03:59,900
Because lips that kissed those lips will never kiss mine
518
01:04:00,124 --> 01:04:02,000
Don't worry about that, just get out of the...
519
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,000
- DId you fuck him, did he pay you to let him... -Move!
520
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:08,700
You lied to me. Well fuck you, you cheap piece of shit
521
01:04:08,758 --> 01:04:15,202
He's got AIDS. Did you even know that?
522
01:04:22,301 --> 01:04:27,400
Stupid closeted bigots, you probably never figured out that each other was...
523
01:04:27,497 --> 01:04:29,200
Shut up
524
01:04:29,257 --> 01:04:35,362
Fascist hypocrite lying filthy... Now stop. Now stop
525
01:04:35,882 --> 01:04:39,100
Oh jeeesus. aw jeez. Please. Say you're OK. please. Please
526
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,700
- That hurt -I never did that before, I never hit anyone before
527
01:04:41,918 --> 01:04:43,400
Can you open it? Can you see?
528
01:04:43,471 --> 01:04:46,980
- I can see blood - Let me get a towel
529
01:04:47,709 --> 01:04:55,484
I could have you arrested, you creep. They'd think I put you in jail for beating me up
530
01:04:55,780 --> 01:05:00,903
- I never hit anyone before - But It would really be for those decisions
531
01:05:05,646 --> 01:05:10,566
It was like a sex scene from an Ayn Rand novel, huh?
532
01:05:12,817 --> 01:05:19,969
I'm sorry. I hurt you, Louis, I never hit anyone before
533
01:05:21,111 --> 01:05:26,400
Yeah yeah, get lost. Before I really lose my temper and hurt you back
534
01:05:26,497 --> 01:05:31,352
I just want to lie here and bleed for a while
535
01:05:37,956 --> 01:05:41,306
It'll do me good
536
01:05:47,378 --> 01:06:08,557
John Brown's body lies a mouIderI'n' In the grave...
537
01:06:10,660 --> 01:06:19,457
His truth Is marching on
538
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:32,638
Look at that big smile. What you got to smile about, Roy?
539
01:06:33,314 --> 01:06:41,276
I'm going, Ethel. Finally, finally done wIth this world, at long long Iast
540
01:06:42,237 --> 01:06:52,385
All mine enemies will be standing on the other shore, mouths gaping open like stupid fish
541
01:06:52,729 --> 01:07:00,751
While the Almighty parts the Sea of Death and lets his Royboy cross over to Jordan
542
01:07:01,663 --> 01:07:07,500
On dry land and still a lawyer
543
01:07:07,526 --> 01:07:13,900
Don't count your chickens, Roy. It's over. Over?
544
01:07:13,918 --> 01:07:20,100
I wanted the news should come from me. The panel ruled against you, Roy
545
01:07:20,129 --> 01:07:29,176
- No, no, they only started meeting two days ago - They recommended disbarment
546
01:07:29,643 --> 01:07:35,400
The Executive still has to rule on the recommendation
547
01:07:35,450 --> 01:07:40,700
It'll take another week to sort it out and before then...
548
01:07:40,715 --> 01:07:49,145
The Executive was waiting. And they ruled, one two three
549
01:07:49,702 --> 01:07:53,700
They accepted the panel's recommendation. I'm...
550
01:07:53,731 --> 01:07:59,000
One of the main guys on the Executive leaned over to his friend and said...
551
01:07:59,310 --> 01:08:06,246
'Finally. I've hated that little faggot for thirty-six years
552
01:08:06,493 --> 01:08:14,262
I'm... They...? - They won, Roy. You're not a lawyer anymore
553
01:08:15,166 --> 01:08:27,350
- But am I dead? - No. They beat you. You lost
554
01:08:29,582 --> 01:08:35,814
I decided to come here. so I could see could I forgive you
555
01:08:36,435 --> 01:08:41,814
You who I have hated so terribly
556
01:08:42,421 --> 01:08:51,181
I have borne my hatred for you up Into the heavens and made a needlesharp little star In the sky out of It
557
01:08:51,557 --> 01:08:55,764
It's the star of Ethel Rosenberg's hatred
558
01:08:56,290 --> 01:09:05,290
And It burns every year for one night only, June Nineteen
559
01:09:06,780 --> 01:09:10,324
It burns acid green
560
01:09:12,629 --> 01:09:19,547
I came to forgive, but all I can do Is take pleasure In your misery
561
01:09:19,963 --> 01:09:23,900
Hoping I'd get to see you die more terrible than I did
562
01:09:23,941 --> 01:09:36,885
And you are, cause you're dying In shit, Roy, defeated. And you could kill me, but you couldn`t ever defeat me
563
01:09:37,841 --> 01:09:48,556
You never won. And when you die all anyone will say is, better he had never lived at all
564
01:09:55,436 --> 01:10:04,413
Ma? Muddy? Is It...? Ma?
565
01:10:05,190 --> 01:10:09,860
It's Ethel, Roy. Muddy? I feel bad
566
01:10:09,885 --> 01:10:14,602
-Who are you talking to, Roy, It's Ethel. Good to see you, Ma, It's been years
567
01:10:15,574 --> 01:10:23,500
- I feel bad. Sing to me. - I'm not your mother, Roy
568
01:10:23,551 --> 01:10:32,830
It's cold In here, I'm up so late, past my time
569
01:10:33,393 --> 01:10:44,497
Don't be mad, Ma, but I'm scared... A little. Don't be mad
570
01:10:44,948 --> 01:10:49,302
Sing me a song. Please
571
01:10:50,990 --> 01:10:59,259
- I don't want to Roy, I'm not your... - Please, It's scary out here
572
01:11:02,645 --> 01:11:18,890
Oh God. Oh God, I'm so sorry
573
01:11:29,188 --> 01:11:38,873
a young lad stands, and he thinks
574
01:11:39,860 --> 01:11:46,178
thinks and thinks, the whole night through
575
01:11:46,368 --> 01:11:53,510
whom to take, and not to shame
576
01:11:53,370 --> 01:11:59,684
whom to take, and not to shame
577
01:12:00,533 --> 01:12:10,404
Tumbala Tumbala Tumbalalaika...
578
01:12:20,252 --> 01:12:27,244
Roy? Are you...?
579
01:12:39,561 --> 01:12:42,549
That's It
580
01:12:42,843 --> 01:12:50,400
Wake up, It's time to take your... Oh. Oh, you're gone
581
01:12:50,415 --> 01:12:54,722
No I'm not!
582
01:12:55,748 --> 01:13:10,324
I fooled you, Ethel. I knew who you were all along. I can't believe you felt for that Ma stuff
583
01:13:10,996 --> 01:13:24,732
I just wanted to see If I could finally, finally make Ethel Rosenberg sing. I win
584
01:13:27,611 --> 01:13:33,302
Oh fuck, oh fuck me I...
585
01:13:35,993 --> 01:13:46,387
Next time around I don't want to be a man. I wanna be an octopus
586
01:13:47,344 --> 01:13:58,481
Remember that, OK? A fucking...Hold
