All language subtitles for Slings and Arrows s01e01 Olivers Dream.eng

Hydro. $284.63.

Geoffrey:
Yeah. We have to pay that.

Cheryl:
Rent, of course.

Geoffrey:
After we open.

I've told him a thousand times.

Cheryl:
Bell telephone -

Cheryl:
They'll disconnect our phones again...Bell.

Geoffrey:
Good. All they do is ring anyway.

You pick them up,
it's people wanting money.

I can't run a theatre without
a telephone, geoffrey.

Geoffrey:
There were no phones in ancient greece

And their theatres did
very well.

You're not taking this very
seriously, geoffrey.

We're hanging on by a thread.

Geoffrey:
And the very best things happen

Just before the thread snaps.

I thought you would have
learned that by now.

Case in point.

I just fixed a toilet.

Cheryl:
You're a genius, geoffrey.

Break's over.

Cheryl:
We're back!

Geoffrey:
Good news.

I have fixed the toilet.

(applause)

As a reward to myself,
I'd like to run the storm.

What do you think, andy?

Andy:
Go for it, man.

Geoffrey:
Go for it, man.

These are the words a director
likes to hear.

Andy has been working
on the lights now

For three days and three nights

He assures me there will not be
another fire.

(cheering)

Andy. The storm, please.

Now, cheryl seems to believe
that a theatre needs phones.

I disagree.

A theatre is an empty space...

And as per
the four-hundred-year-old

Stage direction, we begin

With a "tempestuous noise
of thunder and lightning".

(thunder and lightning)

It is a storm of colour
and sound--

A dense, unnatural storm.

And we see it in glimpses,
and flashes,

As miranda would have seen it.

We see fragments of the horror

And our minds provide
the details.

We see the crew struggling
to save the ship;

Alonso, sebastian,
antonio, run below deck.

Antonio:
Let us all sink with our king!

Antonio cries.

The boatswain calls out--

Boatswain:
Take to the topsail!

Lay her a-hold!

Geoffrey:
But the ship is torn apart by prospero's magic.

The mechanism of his revenge
is set in motion.

Boatswain:
We're split! We're split!

Farewell my wife and children!

Antonio
all lost!

All lost!

The lights churn and swell
like the sea-

(lights spark)

Ah nuts.

Cheryl:
Take five, everybody.

(piano intro)

Ô cheer up, hamlet ô

Ô chin up, hamlet ô

Ô buck up,
you melancholy dane ô

Ô so your uncle is cad ô

Ô who murdered dad
and married mum ô

Ô that's really no excuse to be
as glum as you've become ô

Ô so wise up, hamlet ô

Ô rise up, hamlet ô

Ô perk up,
and sing a new refrain ô

Ô your incessant monologizing ô

Ô fills the castle
with on ennui ô

Ô your antic disposition
is embarrassing to see ô

Ô and by the way,
you sulky brat, ô

Ô the answer is: "to be" ô

Ô you're driving
poor ophelia insane ô

Ô so shut up,
you rogue and peasant ô

Ô grow up,
it's most unpleasant ô

Ô cheer up,
you melancholy dane ô

(cheering and applause)

Frank:
Ah rodney, how long can a man stare at sheep?

Cyril:
If he's a shepherd there's no telling.

Frank:
Really cyril, there's gobs of work to be done.

Cyril:
I know, duckie.

Oliver:
I know what it is.

I can't hear anything.

Maria:
We oiled the casters this morning. No more squeaks.

Oliver:
I'm not talking about squeaks, I'm talking about bleats.

You do want the bleats?

Oliver:
Of course I do.

What's the point of having
sheep

If there's no bleating?

Where's the charm in that?

I thought that-

Oliver:
Without the bleats there's no irony, maria.

Any fool knows that.

Maria:
I'll cue up the bleats.

Yes, cue up the bleats,
for god's sake.

Honestly.

(the sheep bleat)

There you are,
now that's comedy.

Thank you, maria, you just
saved our fourth act.

Ellen:
Oliver.

The forgeries of jealousy?

Yes?

Ellen:
Sorry everyone. Sorry.

You promised you would
re-block it, weeks ago.

Weeks ago! You promised.

Oliver:
Yes. I do have some other notes from last night's preview-

Ellen:
My back is to the audience for the love of god.

I'm not being unreasonable.

I'm not saying I'm the most
important here,

But arguably at that moment,
act two scene one,

The forgeries of jealousy,

I am the most important
character on stage

And I can't be seen
by the audience.

She's always like this.

She can't make it through
a rehearsal

Without throwing a tantrum.

It's on the list, darling.
I promise you.

Fine.

Sorry everyone.

Sorry for caring.

Oliver:
Right.

But her back
is to the audience.

Oliver:
What next? What next?

Kate.

Yes?

Richard:
Oliver?

Are you free?

Oliver:
I'm doing notes...

Richard:
Can I get you for an hour?

It's about the seating plan
for tonight.

An hour?

Richard:
Oh by the way,

Great feedback
on the previews everybody.

(applause)

Break a leg tonight.

Oliver, we'll use your office?

Well, we are in good shape,
really.

Maria, let's do a line run

And let them go home early,
shall we?

We'll begin with the forgeries
of jealousy

For ellen's sake.

Damn you.

Maria:
Okay everybody, gather for a line run.

Hey, are your parents
coming tonight?

With the leafs in the playoffs?
Not a chance.

But you know who is coming?

My high school drama teacher.

Ugh! You're kidding.

I nearly freaked when
I heard his message.

I mean, all the girls
were in love with him.

He used to wear these
black turtle necks

And give massages
and talk about brecht.

Oh, take my advice,

Thank him for coming
and dump him.

You can't schmooze with him
hanging around your neck.

Maria:
And ah... Lights up.

Ellen:
These are the forgeries of jealousy

And never, since the middle
summer's spring,

Met we on hill in dale...

What is the problem
with the seating plan?

Well,
it's not done yet.

It's as done as it can be,
isn't it?

What does he expect?

And then
there's the wine.

It hasn't arrived yet?

Not yet.

Well how long can it take?

I can see the vineyard
from my office window,

For god's sake!

Well, apparently they're having
trouble tracking down

Enough of the '99 chardonnay.

Tell them I'll accept
the '98 sauvignon blanc,

But don't let them sell you
on that dreadful riesling

They served at
the press launch.

It was like drinking
chilled german urine.

Right.

Oliver:
You know, there was a time

When I could actually rehearse
the actors

On the final day of rehearsal.

Anna:
Jack crew's agent, (intoon one. Yes?

Oliver:
Thank you, anna.

Gary.

Voice on phone:
Mr. Blickman will be right with you.

Can I-

Every time he calls,
I'm put on hold.

Every single time.

Do the phones work differently
in l.A., is that it?

Are you forced to make
two calls at once?

I need six more
for lenstrex.

Six more?

This is getting ridiculous.

There's no room.

We have to make room.

They're our major
corporate sponsor.

And we're very grateful.

They're in the lobby,
they're on the program,

They're on the back
of the tickets...

Oliver-

We're sold out.

Well, who's this?

Actors.

Michael durning,
wife and child,

Trevor mckinnon,
wife and mother.

Actors?

Actors do attend the theatre
every now and then, richard.

They've been with the company
for over 20 years between them

But there was nothing for them
this season.

It was a gesture,
you know.

Bump them.

You don't understand.

I've directed them
in "the dream"

Three, four times.

Trevor, he was my bottom
for years-

And they can have tickets
for any other performance.

Bump them.

No.

Voice on phone:
No? Still holding.

Yes I am!

You don't understand,
richard.

No, you don't understand,
oliver.

We can't afford to alienate
our leading corporate sponsor

Just because you're feeling
sentimental.

Well, someone is going
to get alienated,

And I would prefer that
it were fred from accounting

And his prostitute companion

Than two men who've devoted
their lives to this theatre.

I have to go.

To lenstrex actually.

They're having some sort
of crisis.

Look oliver,
find me some seats, please?

You know, I wish you would
think of this place

As a place of business.

Because that's what it is,
you know.

It's a business.

Ô

Blickman:
Oliver, how the fuck are you?

Fine, gary...

When's jack arriving exactly?

Wonderful.
We're all very excited.

I'll have a car meet him
at the airport.

What was the flight number,
again?

Anna:
The chardonnay has arrived!

Oh, excellent.

Bring me a bottle,
would you?

(commotion)

Man:
Get your hands off me!

Catherine:
David will be with you in minute.

Can I get you anything?
Coffee? Juice?

Richard:
Uh yeah, juice would be great.

Catherine,

Why have I been called
here today?

Would you like apple,
orange or grapefruit?

Orange. Please.

Announcment:
Security to the right stairwell. Exit 7.

Sorry to keep you waiting,
richard.

David, how are you?

David:
Good. Good.

Well I uh, can't stay.

Richard:
What?

Lenstrex is going through
some changes.

Ms. Day here is from our new
head office in houston.

She'll be assuming
my responsibilities.

Hi, holly day.

Don't bother making any jokes.
I've heard them all before.

Richard smith-jones.

David, I-

I have a thing
I have to attend to.

Goodbye richard.

It's been a real pleasure
working with you.

(whispers)
she's the devil.

Holly:
Oh, bye david.

He's just going to love
anchorage.

Richard:
Uh... Ms. Day-

Holly:
Holly.

Richard:
David and I have been working together

For quite some time now-

Holly:
Yeah, yeah, I know.

Three years.
I've been through his files.

Then you also
know about

The 8.3 percent increase
in our audience attendance.

The inclusion of more
modern language plays.

This year we have
jack crew playing hamlet.

He's a major
american star.

And david has been
instrumental-

Yeah, yeah.
No david...

David was a wonderful man.

Ms. Day,
I have to tell you

That the festival
absolutely depends

On the financial support
of lenstrex corp-

'kay, it's cosmopolitan-
lenstrex now.

Richard. Please,
I'm a friend.

Come on, sit down.

I'm interested in new burbage.
Very interested.

In fact,
I called you here today

To discuss increasing
our level of sponsorship.

Seriously?

You have a show opening
tonight.

Uh yes.
Midsummers night's dream.

Midsummer night's dream.

I'd love to see it.
Is there a seat available?

Well, david's,
I suppose...

Great.

Well I wonder if I might
also go as your date?

You know, just give us
a chance to chat.

Of course.

I'm sorry if I appeared
a little defensive just now-

Oh please, you're not the first,
believe me.

People are frightened
by change.

Personally, I've never,
I've never understood that.

I mean, change and opportunity,

It's sort of the same thing
really, don't you think?

Cheryl:
I know we're behind with the rent.

Two months
you have not paid!

I ask you many times.

You must leave. Sorry.

After this show opens,

We will pay you
from the box office.

No one comes to see shows here.
Never.

You leave building
or I send for police.

Thank you.

Geoffrey:
Hi.

Aleb:
No! I do not want any trouble!

You are crazy! Please.

Cheryl:
He's not crazy!

Not anymore.

Aleb:
You attacked me with a knife.

Oh, that was a prop.

You attacked him?

Geoffrey:
I took two steps toward him.

But I immediately apologized.

Geoffrey,
he's evicting us.

You owe two months.

I am not a bad man.

I have a family.
Get out. Thank you.

We are opening
a new play

And we will pay you
from the box office receipts.

No one comes to see
shows here.

Ugh! All right.

I will- fine! I will pay you

Out of my own
personal account.

Two months rent,
plus one month in advance,

Is $12,600 dollars.

And here you are--

This ought to keep
your family quiet.

This cheque is good?

Of course the cheque
is good.

Why would I give you
a bad cheque?

If cheque is bad,
I send for police.

Thank you.

Geoffrey:
I have never bounced a cheque in my life.

If cheque is bad,
I send police.

Cheryl:
Cheque's bad, isn't it?

Geoffrey:
Of course.

Cheryl:
Oh god! Why do you do these things?

The police are going to come
and shut us down!

Ooh! Your little thread can't
take much more, can it?

(sound of cash register,
people chatting)

(knocks on door)

Oliver:
Don't bother to cover up, I'm gay.

I just wanted to say break
a leg to you all.

Relax, find your light,

Say the right lines
in the proper order

And everything will be fine.

Remember what sir ralph
use to said,

"acting is merely the art

Of keeping a large group
of people from coughing.

(laughter)

Have a good show.

(knocks on door)

Don't bother to cover up,
I'm old.

I just wanted to say good show,
break a leg and all that.

Just find your light,
say your lines

And if you get nervous remember
what sir ralph richardson said,

"acting is merely the art

Of keeping a large number
of people from coughing.

(laughter)

Good show.

Kate:
Uh, mr. Welles?

Oliver.
Have a good show.

Thank you...
But you had a note for me?

A note?

Yes. This afternoon
in rehearsal,

You had a note,
but you were called away.

Oh, your entrance
in act 3.

Yes?

It's good.

You are saying "and I"
in a consistently funny way.

Keep it up.

That was it.

Kate:
Mr. Welles, I've been meaning to tell you something.

I saw your hamlet
with geoffrey tennant,

I was 12.

It was so great.

I'm sorry.

Everyone says
I shouldn't mention it.

No, you shouldn't.

Maria:
15 minutes to the top of the show.

Sorry.

Break a leg.

Thank you.

(classical music is coming from
ellen's dressing room)

Oliver:
Another one, eh ellen?

Your sixth titania
if I'm not mistaken?

It's my tenth "dream", you know.

Number ten.

Bit of a nightmare,
if you ask me.

Just making the rounds.

Settling the butterflies.

Still using sir ralph,
I'm afraid.

You'd think I'd have some witty
remark of my own to share

After all these years,
but no.

I do not.

Ugh!

You know, young kate just
stopped me in the hall-

Put that down.

Oliver:
Such a long time ago.

Look at my hair.

It's all so ridiculous.

Ellen:
The forgeries of jealousy.

What?

I begged you to re-block it,
you did not.

And tonight I will perform it

And no one will see me
or hear me.

Oh, they'll see the sheep,

And they'll hear the fucking
bleats loud and clear.

Oliver:
You're overreacting, ellen.

You're obsessing on a detail.

(ellen bangs table)

When did you stop caring about
the details, oliver?

"dream" number five?

Well, I'm sorry, but I still
fucking care about them

Because I'm fucking
one of them.

(knock on door)

Ah! Oliver,
the minister is pulling up.

Oliver:
The minister. Yes.

Excuse me, ellen.

Have a good show.

See you at the bar.

(screams) knock!

Dresser:
Sorry! Sorry.

(knock at the door)

Come in.

Sorry. Nerves.

Oliver:
Welcome, madam minister.

Minister:
Hello oliver.

My husband was able to come
after all.

Can you squeeze him in?

Of course.

So glad you could come.

The bar?

Well, it's just over there...

But we do have champagne.

(trumpets sound)

Oh uh, that's oliver welles
with the minister of culture.

Oh okay.
He's the artistic director?

Yeah.

Oh, so you're
the general manager.

He's the artist.
You're the businessman.

Well uh,
I advise oliver, yes.

This a local wine?

Uh yeah.
Do you like it?

Mmm, very nice.

It's amazing grapes can grow
this far north, isn't it?

(ellen does vocal exercises)

Maria:
Two minutes, ellen.

Ellen:
Maria? Maria!

"I pray thee, gentle mortal,
sing again," stage left?

Yes.

"thou art as wise as thou art
beautiful," centre?

Maria:
Yup.

"walk in his hops,"
left again.

No, upstage to the-

To the tree, to the tree.
Oh shit! To the tree. Shit!

Maria:
Two minutes!

Ellen:
We have two minutes!

Sorry. Sorry. Good show.

Good show.

(nervous breathing)

Hermia:
I do entreat your grace to pardon me.

I know not by what power
I am made bold,

Nor how it may concern
my modesty

In such a presence here
to plead my thoughts

But I beseech your grace that
I may know the worst...

Hockey announcer:
...Comes away with the puck.

Roberts, circling behind
the goal,

Centres in front for sundin.
Back to the point.

Kaberle has shot in traffic,
is blocked by philips.

Sundin, with it again...

Frank:
Damn quiet house.

Cyril:
There's no excuse for a quiet house on opening.

They didn't pay for their
tickets;

They could at least do us the
courtesy of forcing a laugh.

Oberon:
Didst thou not lead him

Through the glimmering night
from perigenia,

Whom he ravished?

And make him with fair aegle
break his faith,

With ariadne and antiopa?

Ellen:
These are the forgeries of jealousy...

Patron: (whispered)
I can't hear.

Ellen:
Never, since the middle summer's spring,

Met we on hill, in dale,
forest or mead...

Hockey announcer:
Roberts spins and shoots blocked out front, rebound,

Sundin scores!

Yes!

Cue the stupid bleats.

(sheep bleat)

(audience laughs)

Oberon:
Welcome, good robin.

See'st thou this sweet sight?

Her dotage now
I do begin to pity.

For, meeting her...

It's dreadful, isn't it?

The production values
are very high.

Very diplomatic
of you, nahum.

Oh god...

There's not one moment of truth
in this whole production.

The truth can be
a very dangerous thing.

Before I left nigeria

I directed a production
of ken saro-wiwa's "the wheel"

Which was perhaps too openly
critical of the abacha regime.

How did it go over?

The soldiers came
and burned our sets

And beat the actors
with sticks.

Thanks for
the perspective.

Switch to the hockey game,
would you?

Wait! Turn it back.

Switch back
to the news!

Cheryl:
Geoffrey tennant is not a criminal.

It's just that he refuses
to play their game.

No corporate sponsorship,
no government grants.

The real criminals are

The people who are shutting
us down.

Tv reporter:
Sir, can you tell us why it is you're closing this theatre?

Aleb:
I am not a bad person.

He is crazy.
He writes bad cheques.

I have a family. Thank you.

Tv reporter:
But sir, the man says

He's willing to do
anything he can

To keep this theatre open.

Would you care
to respond to that?

Aleb:
No one comes to shows.

Tv reporter:
Geoffrey tennant is best known

For an incident that happened
seven years ago,

When he suffered
a mental breakdown

During a performance of hamlet
at the new burbage festival.

It signaled the end
of his acting career.

Madman or martyr?

What is clear is that
the artistic community

Is embracing geoffrey tennant

As a hero of shakespearean
proportions.

My god.

Now that's theatre.

It reminds me of home.

Claire:
If we shadows have offended,

Think but this,
and all is mended,

That you have but slumber'd
here

While these visions did appear.

(applause)

Basil:
To another twenty five years at the festival.

Ellen:
Oh! I can't think of what part I'd play

In twenty five years.
Maybe one of the witches...

The passing years have been
more than kind to you, my dear.

It was...
Let me just say,

You're getting boring...

Because you are never less
then perfection.

And as for the
production itself,

Well, you have
two choices:

You can buy a paper
in the morning

Or buy me a drink
this evening.

Oliver:
Oh hello, bassy. Can't talk now.

Everyone! Wonderful job!
Well done!

The buzz is really good.

See you all at the bar.

Oh! And to all the new players,
this is basil.

Avoid him
at all costs.

(laughter)

You'll get a good review
from me.

Don't worry, oliver.

Thank you, basil.

You've got a style
that, with age,

I've grown to love.

You don't make demands
of the audience,

You soothe them.

Your shows are comfortable,
like an old boot.

Thank you.

I'd appreciate it if you didn't
use the phrase "old boot"

In your review.

Well done.

Claire:
I felt I really discovered puck tonight.

Kate:
You were great.

Claire:
Oh, it's the audience.

When you're doing a comedy

The audience does half
the work for you.

Kate:
Oh, my god.

He's here.

Who?

My high school
drama teacher,

Mr. Stewart.

All the girls
had a thing for him?

I'd hate to see what your gym
teacher looked like.

Mr. Stewart! Hi!

Mr. Stewart:
Kate!

Kate:
I can't believe you actually came.

Oh, your debut?
How could I miss it.

Thank you.

This is claire donner.

Hi.

Mr. Stewart:
Puck. Pace, pace, pace.

I'm sorry?

You were marvelous!
I'm so proud of you.

Oh well,
moth is just a small part.

Who cares?
Look where we are.

At the new burbage festival.

I've waited 20 years for one
of my students to get here

And you did it.

Oh kate, we made it!

Oh god!
The dressing rooms.

I'm gonna catch up
with you later, okay?

He just,
he has this thing about pace.

I thought you were great.

Whatever.

(polite chatter)

Basil:
It's the direction.

See oliver isn't saying
anything.

He's just
putting on the show.

I've seen this show
many, many times,

And when I say that,
I don't mean "the dream",

I mean this show.

Luke?

Another dreadful riesling,
please.

And one for yourself.

Oh lord...

It's time for the speeches.

Here's may silverstone
dragging her rotting carcass

To the microphone.

Ladies and gentlemen,

If I might have your attention
for a moment.

Well, I see that we're
all still abuzz

From the wonderful production
that we've just seen.

What a delightful, delightful
beginning to our 44th season.

(applause)

May:
Thank you.

It now gives me great pleasure

To introduce the man
responsible for this evening,

And I don't mean
mr. Shakespeare,

I am referring of course,
to our artistic director,

Mr. Oliver welles.

(applause)

Since william is indisposed,
I'll say a few words.

I've directed many plays here
during my time

And this particular staging
of "the dream,"

Was a dream to stage.

You see, he's just going
through the motions.

I know, basil,
I know.

Oliver:
But I must single out one party

For their invaluable
contribution.

I'm referring of course,
to the good people of lenstrex,

And specifically,
mr. Donald camposano,

Camposani, sorry,

Vice president of customer care,
western ontario region.

Donald? Can you
tear yourself away

From the faeries for a moment
and step up here?

On behalf of the board
of directors

Of the new burbage
festival,

I'd like to present you
with this leatherbound

Riverside edition
of the works of mr. Shakespeare.

Signed by everyone,
except the author, of course.

(applause)

That's the future
of this festival, right there.

A sweaty middle manager

Soiling the works
of shakespeare.

Shut up, basil.

Donald:
I believe it was the immortal bard who said,

"life is a tale
told by an idiot,

Full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing."

Well, we at cosmopolitan
lenstrex disagree...

Life, anyone's life,
regardless of their race...

Well, I must find a new vice
president of customer care,

Mustn't I?

I guess so.

So uh, tell me about the new
gift shop expansion.

Oh well, it was like
pulling teeth

To get them
to do anything.

I mean, do you know when
I showed up at this festival

They had a table over there

With four t-shirts on it.

All smalls.
Four pathetic t-shirts.

Oh my god.

Now, 81 percent of people
who come to this festival

Go through that store
and 41 percent of them

Buy between 20 and 30 dollars
worth of merchandise each.

But has anyone ever thanked you
for the added revenue?

No. Not once.
Never. No.

It's typical.

Okay? I mean, they don't want
to think of this as a business,

But okay, hello,
it is a business.

It is a business.
Yes. Exactly.

They get the money
for the bills from.K

I mean, maybe it's
from the faeries?

You're funny, richard.

Thank you.

Well richard,
I appreciate you.

Can I get you
a better glass of wine?

Yes.

But if you could-

Imported.

Yes.

Thought so.

That local shit
knocks me flat.

Uh-huh.
Be right back.

(holly slaps his buttocks)

Mr. Stewart:
This feels unbelievable.

Kate:
I know. I still get shivers.

Mr. Stewart:
Me too.

I'm getting them right now.

Mr. Stewart?

Mr. Stewart:
Kate, I could do this, couldn't I?

Kate:
Do what?

Mr. Stewart
I could be an actor here.

Kate:
Why would you want to do that?

I mean, you're just such a
wonderful teacher.

Mr. Stewart:
Teacher?

They kept me away from here.

Pimply, little shits.

They don't care about theatre,
and I don't care about them.

Do you know how I cast now?

The tallest one is romeo.

The one with the biggest tits
is juliet.

Who cares?

You are drunk.

Not quite enough.

Let's go.

Kate:
Where?

Mr. Stewart:
To where all actors go after the reception.

To the bar.

Oliver:
Richard burton, oliver reed, richard harris, peter o'toole,

They're all drunks...
Or were.

How could you not drink?

How could you face
the real world sober

After you've achieved
perfection on the stage?

Mr. Stewart:
Here, here!

Oliver:
Richard burton. (laughs)

Imagine saying
to elizabeth taylor,

"I'm sorry,

But this relationship
is just not working for me."

(everyone laughs)

Elizabeth taylor!

Reality must have been so
incredibly dull for him.

I saw his hamlet,
you know, in 1964.

God, he was good.

'66.

Excuse me?

Burton's hamlet,
'66.

'64, I believe.

John gielgud directed.

Burton's was the definitive
hamlet.

No one's done it since,
as far as I'm concerned.

Well, except...

Where's luke with the booze?

Claire:
Oh, he's been gone for hours.

I think he left with ellen.

Oliver:
Poor ellen.

She's trying to screw
the years off.

I have to go piss.

God. He is ruining
this night for me.

It's so embarrassing.

Leave it to me.

Mr. Stewart, you've been
so kind to our kate here,

Massaging away her fears,

Setting her on the right track,

On behalf of the festival
I'd like to thank you.

Mr. Stewart:
Cheers.

Hey, would you like
to become

An unofficial member
of the company?

Huzzah!

Well, it's a very
special honour

We reserve for very dear
friends.

However there is a bit
of a ritual though.

I love rituals.
Rituals are great.

Okay.

First, you must drink
all the dregs

From every glass in the bar,

And then you're in.

Are you up for it?

Just try and stop me.

Wow!

He'll be out
in ten minutes.

Oh you are evil.

Thank you.

Voice 1:
He actually chained himself to the theatre doors.

Voice 2:
I didn't think that kind of thing actually happened.

Voice 1:
That doesn't happen. The guy's crazy, right?

He did the hamlet?

Voice 1:
Yeah, back in the glory days.

Voice 2:
God. Those days are long gone.

Voice 1:
Oh god.

Voice 2:
Seriously, I could hardly keep my eyes open.

Like, I was slapping myself.

Voice 1:
It's oliver. The guy's a hundred-years-old.

Voice 2:
Shhh. Walls have ears.

Voice 1:
Oh come on, he's old, and old people are boring.

They get too excited,
it's they drop dead. Is.

(laughter)

Voice 2:
Shut up. Put on your game face.

(flushes toilet)

Ô

Claire:
Hey! We're going to track down something to eat.

Do you want to come?

No. I'm fine.

Okay. (blows a kiss)
see you tomorrow.

Um, I just wanted to thank you
for everything.

I mean, I know you've been
through this a million times,

But for me it's...

Well, thank you.

Congratulations.

Well, I hope you enjoyed
the show.

Oh, it was magical.

(mr. Stewart gets sick)

Geoffrey tennant is not a crimi!

Cheryl:
Oh, god! I'm so fat!

Why didn't you tell me
I was that fat!

Geoffrey:
The camera puts on ten pounds.

Cheryl:
What about the other twenty five?

It's a lifestyle thing.

These people are going to
throw-up all over my furniture.

Why are they so happy
anyway.

We just lost the theatre.

Are you kidding?

You made them heroes.
They love you!

I love you!

Easy now.

Is it because I'm fat?

No. It's 'cause
you're drunk.

(phone ring)
oh I better get that.

Hello?

Oliver:
Did you know there are three geoffrey tennants in toronto?

Apparently one of them
is jamaican,

The other is eleven.

And then there is you.

It's oliver, if you haven't
already guessed.

A ghost from the past.

(dial tone)

(phone rings)

Oliver:
I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you.

Chaining yourself to
a condemned building

To defend the right
of the insane

To put on shows
that no one will ever see.

(dial tone)

Shit.

(phone rings)

Oliver:
Have mercy.

I know you hate me.

If you could see me now
you'd be happy.

I'm pathetic.

I am... Pathetic and miserable.

I'm a failure,
you're a failure-

(dial tone)

Shit! Shit! Shit!

(phone rings)

Hello?

Mr. Popularity!

Oliver:
Why won't anyone talk to me?

Ellen can't even look
in my direction-

How is ellen?

(sighs) she hates me,
she hates you,

She hates herself.

She's getting old.

She's playing gertrude-
oh, sorry!

I won't mention that play.

Don't hang up.

How are you?

Look, I heard about your
mother.

She's in a better place.

God, you were so good.

Incandescent.
Why did you leave?

Why did I leave?

Oliver:
It can't be because of the thing with ellen.

We believed, remember,

That greatness came
with a price.

That hamlet that I brought out
in you, it was...

It was definitive.

The hamlet that you...

What a crime you only gave
three performances.

What a sin.

It was only a play.

Oliver:
Only a play?

Mister chain-himself-to-a
warehouse.

Everything I ever do

Will be compared to those three
performances.

You ruined my life.

I ruined your life?

You destroyed mine, you-

You want to know why
no one will speak to you?

I'll tell you.

It's not that you ruined
the festival,

Although you have done that,

And it's not because you're
a sell out.

You want to know why
no one will speak to you?!

You want to know why ellen
cannot stand the sight of you?!

I'll tell you,

So I do not have to think
of you ever again;

So that you will be
erased from my memory!

It's because-

Ô

(applause and cheering)

Geoffrey:
Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!

Oliver and ellen:
Geoffrey! Geoffrey! Geoffrey!

Geoffrey:
Quiet! There's one left, there's one,

One final thank you,

And that is to the author!

(cheering)

Geoffrey:
Be careful.

It's all safe!

Oh god!

Oh god!

Oliver:
I'm getting too old for all these beatle antics.

Geoffrey:
Jesus, I have never felt anything like this in...

I have never felt anything even
remotely like this feeling.

Bravo, geoff. Bravo.

You were fucking
incredible tonight.

You broke my heart.

And not just mine.

I mean, everybodies.

Did you hear them?

There were sobbing.

Did you hear that woman?

The one in the second row,
on the left there.

She was wailing,

Like, like she'd lost
her child.

Oh but listen, listen,
this is the thing.

We've got to make it
exactly like this, every night.

Every single night,
exactly like this!

And how are we going
to do that?

Aye, there's the rub.

Geoffrey:
Becauit's just shit.E-

You see what
you may have done.

You may have made for us
a hell.

A very well lit hell,
if I do say so, myself.

I want to do it again,
right now!

And by heaven I will make
a ghost of him that lets me!

Ellen:
I love you, geoffrey.

Geoffrey:
Oh my ophelia.

I want to feel ya.

And I love you both,
very much.

More than I love myself,

Which is saying a lot,
believe me.

Ellen:
I love you, oliver.

Hey, let's make a baby.

Oliver and ellen:
What?

Geoffrey:
Not you.

And you know what I mean.

I mean, one of those
little bald people

You're always fussing about
in the mall.

I want to make a baby with you.

I wanna make a little girl
kind of baby,

Exactly like you.

And I-
I wanna marry you, ellen.

'cause I love you.

Oliver:
Please! Such a flagrant display of unbridled heterosexuality.

Geoffrey...

Come on.

Come on, right now.

Oliver:
Hey, where are you going?

The party's just starting.

Geoffrey:
We are going now,

To make a whole bunch
of babies

And then tomorrow,

We are going to pick out
bride's maids dresses.

What's your size?

Oliver:
Don't go!

Ellen:
Goodbye oliver!

Oliver:
Don't leave me alone, you bastards! Not tonight.

Geoffrey!
Don't leave me here!

I can't go back to the party!

I don't like any one!

Assholes.

Fuck.

Ô

(truck honks)

Ô

Ô

Ellen:
Sorry.

Round two?

(sirens)
