(murmur of crowd)

Mr. Gilcrest:
This is one of the greatest plays ever written,

So shut up and listen!

You'll sit there quietly
with your hands in your laps.

You will not throw pennies
at the actors!

You will stare at that stage
until it is over.

If I hear so much as a peep
from any of you,

I'll give you reason
to be sorry,

Mark my words.

Geoffrey:
Well, this is what you get at the end of a run:

School groups, bus tours.

They probably don't know
what they're here to see.

There are some
who know.

Look. You see?

Old woman:
(gasps for breath)

Nahum:
She's a 100-years-old.

It's a struggle for her,

And yet she still
makes the effort.

Perhaps she's never seen
the play before.

Old woman:
(exhausted gasp)

Let's hope she has
seen it before.

Ô call me superstitious ô

Ô or cowardly or weak ô

Ô but I'll never play
a character ô

Ô whose name
one dare not speak ô

(crowd laughs)

Ô I'll play hamlet
in dublet and hose ô

Ô or either of the dromeos ô

Ô but sorry,
I won't play mackers ô

Ô I'll play richard the third
in a hump and wig ô

Ô or henry the eighth
that selfish pig ô

Ô but sorry,
I don't do mackers ô

Ô every soul who plays
the role ô

Ô risks injury or death ô

Ô I'd rather sweep
the bloody stage ô

Ô than ever do mac -
you know who ô

Ô so gimme king lear, ô

Ô cleopatra, ô

Ô romeo and juliet,
it doesn't mattra ô

Ô I'll play them all for free ô

Ô but I'd be crackers
to take on mackers ô

Ô you see I'm skittish
about the scottish tragedy ô

Ô och aye! Ô

(enthusiastic applause)

Mr. Archer:
But my cottage on lake joseph is on a boundary road

Or something,
I think they call it.

It's just a little,
tiny road

So it's not going to know that.

No, it's-
enrico, I'm...

Sandy point road.

But I don't think I'm going
to need that gps thing

In the middle
of the dashboard

Because it's not going to know
that little road, enrico.

I'll think it over

And I'll get back to you
by 4:00 p.M.

Yeah, okay.

See you.

Sorry, I had to take that.

Anyway,
you were saying.

Oh, uh, the festival.

Yeah.

After 44 critically
acclaimed seasons,

New burbage has set
the benchmark

For theatre festivals
in north america.

Now, st. Roque
bottled water

Has always been
a valued sponsor.

Yeah, let's cut the bullshit.

You had a bad year.

Well,
it was a difficult year

For the theatre community
generally.

Yeah, but you had
that whole thing

With cosmopolitan lenstrex.

Yes, there was a difference
of opinion

Over the direction
the festival should take.

Yeah,
I heard they screwed you.

I wouldn't say screwed,
but...

Yeah,
they screwed us.

All right,
listen.

I'm afraid I have
some bad news for you.

We're moving towards allying
the st. Roque brand

With a more
traditional charity.

So next year
we're going to be cutting

Our level sponsorship
to you by half.

What?!

Yeah, it's all
very hush-hush

But we got this big
paralympics thing

Happening in the spring.

Why would you
do that?!

You want to associate
your product

With crippled athletes?

That makes no sense!

Drink the water
that blind hurdlers drink?

That's insane!

Jesus, richard,
listen to yourself.

I'm sorry.

You sound like
a nazi!

I'm sorry.

My god, you're really
in the shitter, aren't ya?

We've lost 32 per cent
of our corporate sponsorship.

Our subscriber base
is dying.

The american tourists
are staying away in droves.

We got a high dollar,
bad reviews,

I don't know what
I'm supposed to do!

Nobody will help us!

I've been everywhere!

Richard, you're just gonna have
to sell more tickets, huh?

It's not that easy!

We're talking
about theatre!

Richard...

We sell people water,

Something they can get
out of a tap for free.

You people in the arts

Have got to get your heads
screwed on right.

Huh?

You got to decide if you're
a business or a charity.

If you're a business,

Make your market,
sell your product.

If you're a charity,
go to the government,

That's where
the big money is.

I'll tell you what,

You need some business savvy
in your organization.

You get me on
the board next season,

I'll see what I can do.

(cell phone rings)

Sorry,
I've got to take this.

Have another drink.

Get outta here!

Get the fuck outta here!

Fuck off!
It knows sandy point road?

Oh enrico,

You are a fucker,
my friend!

Jack:
Hold you the watch tonight? (coin clatters)

Frank:
I do, my lord. (cell phone rings)

Arm'd say you?

Arm'd, my lord.

Jack:
From top to toe?

Frank:
My lord- (winces from coin)

(students in audience laugh)

Uh... Oh yeah,

"I do, my lord",

I actually can't hear it,
you know?

So really get it out
and then uh,

You just got to move
upstage right away,

All right?

Oh, I can hear the word
rhubarb.

You want to try and vary that.

You know,
cabbage even would work.

Ah, cyril!

Okay,
I think we're just-

We're starting to lose
our sense of place.

Where are we?
What time of day is it?

What's the light like?

I see.

Is it cold?

I see what
you mean.

No, I mean is it cold?

Oh, yes.

Great.
Well let's see the cold.

Let's feel it,
all right?

All right?!

Oh, all right!

Good. Carry on.
As you were.

What did he say?

Stamp your feet,
dear.

We're losing
the sense of place.

I'll be home about 6:00,
and then I'll have to unwind.

No, uh...

I have to unwind alone, dear.

We're still in the first act.

I'll call you tonight.

Kiss, kiss.

(sighs)
that was sloan.

It's like having a pet.

Okay, I've been thinking
about the willow speech.

Oh, no.

When you describe
ophelia's death...

Please-

In great detail-

Geoffrey,
you're driving me insane!

Why do you describe it
in such detail?

A young girl falls
in the river and drowns.

That kind of thing
tends to stick with you.

Why didn't
you save her?

I don't know.

I didn't want
to ruin my dress.

Please don't make me
talk about this now.

Ellen, come on.
(raps table)

She was better off dead.
She was suffering.

Okay.

Let's take this
a little bit further.

What if ophelia didn't drown?

What if she killed herself?

I say she was mad.

She was "incapable
of her own distress".

You could be lying.

Oh jesus christ!

Ophelia drowns.

And you stand by
and watch it happen.

Why? Because you do believe
that she'd be better off dead.

You already feel responsible
for her madness,

And now you feel responsible
for her death.

So in a final act of mercy...

You lie about her death.

You disguise
her apparent suicide

So the poor thing can be buried
in consecrated ground.

Geoffrey,

That is a completely different
approach to the speech!

Yeah.

I think it might be
a bit stronger than your -

"I didn't want to ruin
my dress" subtext.

Ellen:
You can't do this to me!

This is the last performance!

Well, think of it as your
last chance to get it right.

(strangled scream)

Maria:
Ten minutes...

Fuck!

Kate,
it's not my fault.

They pushed
the shoot date up.

It's god's fault.

It's god's fault?

A volcano erupted,

Or didn't erupt
or something.

I don't know,
but it's out of my hands.

I'm sorry.

So you're just gone,

Like that.

I know.

I'll be at the party.

I just can't stay
till the end.

(incredulous laugh)

I can't talk about this
right now, okay?

I can't believe
you are just leaving!

Hey, come with me.

They're giving me a house
for the whole shoot.

On the big island...

Hawaii or uh, honolulu,
whatever.

The big one!

Kate,
come with me.

I can't talk about this
right now.

I can't talk about this
right now, okay?

Okay! Okay!
After, after.

Yeah, if there's time.

Hey.
Hey.

Hey.

Come with me?

Go away!

Please go away.

Maria:
Five minutes until the top of the second act.

Five minutes.

(champagne pops)

(excited chortle)

Friend:
Should you be drinking now? The show's not over.

It's champagne,
not tequila.

Anyway,
claudius is a boozer.

Watch me in act two.

I shall fly without a net.

Geoffrey:
Ah, brian!

When you have moment.

Oh my god,
he's insufferable.

He's your director?

Well he can't
do this now,

I'm in the middle
of a performance.

Here, here,
hang onto this,

I'll be back
in a minute.

Help yourself
to another drink.

Ah, hey!

So I've been thinking
about your reaction

To the murder
of polonius.

Yes?

I mean, you're relieved,
obviously,

You've been spared,

And that really has to do
with your fear,

But I'm kind of wondering
what is claudius' feeling

About hamlet
at this point?

I mean, he's deranged,
he's hunting him down-

Geoffrey,
I've started already.

Yes, I know.
I'm just thinking-

Really,
this is the last show

And the audience
is full of hoodlums.

What's the point?

Excuse me?

Oh, you're young,

Comparatively speaking.

One day you'll learn
to let go.

Let go of what?

The play.

You see,

You feel the show
is your child.

Now I can respect that,

But you're an overprotective
parent,

Constantly hovering
and nattering.

You'd better be careful
or your little boy

Will end up in a clock tower
with a rifle.

Brian,

I'm the director
of this play.

I have a problem
with your performance.

Maria:
Geoffrey...

What?!

We've talked about giving notes
at intermission.

Saved by the union.
Who would have thought?

Thank you, maria.

Geoffrey:
Fuck!

Ellen:
There is a willow grows askant a brook,

That shows his hoar leaves
in the glassy stream;

There with fantastic garlands
did she make of crow-flowers,

Nettles, daisies,
and long purples

That liberal shepherds
give a grosser name,

But our cold maids do
dead men's fingers call them.

There,
on the pendent bough,

Her coronet weeds
clambering to hang,

An envious sliver broke;

When down her weedy trophies
and herself

Fell in the weeping brook.

Which time she chanted snatches
of old lauds;

As one incapable
of her own distress.

But long it could not be

Till that her garments,
heavy with their drink,

Pull'd the poor wretch
from her melodious lay

To muddy death.

I need to see geoffrey
when I get back.

We need to talk.

Anna:
Did you eat?

Richard:
Yes, I ate.

You sound cranky.

Richard:
Anna...

All I do all day
is beg for money.

I'm way beyond "cranky".

Anna:
Well, I have some good news.

I wish I was cranky.

Henry breedlove's agent called.

It's looking good.

Really?

Oh god, please stop screwing me
for two minutes

And let this happen.

(crowd applauds)

Geoffrey:
That was good.

Nahum:
Good job.

Jack:
Thanks.

Nunnery scene
you were on fire.

Yeah.

Me and kate
are having a fight.

I guess it kind of spilled
on to the stage.

Some spills are hard
to clean up.

No shit.

Moira:
Geoffrey tennant!

Who's that?

That's moira.

She's a witch.
Run for your life.

Moira!

It was cold
in the theatre again.

I should have brought
a blanket.

The last time
I was so hot.

Well, I'm sorry.

Did you like the play?

I liked it well enough.
It's hamlet.

True.

I liked you didn't
tart it up.

Your ophelia was good.

So was the boy,
the movie star,

But both a little too pretty,
if you ask me.

The theatre's no place
for pretty faces.

I'll pass along
the compliment.

Yes, I liked it
well enough,

But like I say,

You can't go wrong
with hamlet.

(polite laugh)

And now, macbeth,

That's another story.

I'm interested to see
what you do with that one.

What do you mean?

It's a puzzle
for the best of them.

Oliver was obsessed with it.
He wrote reams of notes;

He had a plan.

But you're not oliver.

No, and we're not doing
macbeth.

Moira:
Mmm, it's a trial by fire.

I've seen men broken
by that play.

Oh yes.

I'm interested to see
what you do with that one.

Oh, one request:

Put in an intermission.

We're not animals.

You are doing
that play?

No, no.

It's a bad play.

Well,
it has some problems.

It's full of blood.

No, what I mean is it's
extraordinarily difficult

To stage effectively.

It opens the door
to the other world

And beckons them.

It is an evil play.

It's not in the season,
okay?

Relax.

Good.

It's evil.

Yes, you made your point.
Thank you very much.

Back to your post.

(happy chatter)

Congratulations,
ellen.

Where's geoffrey?

I don't know,
he-

God, I hate you.

(crash)

(door opens)

You're a fucking asshole!

Geoffrey:
Thanks. Good work on the willow speech!

Why are you
doing this to me?

It's not like
we've just opened.

I cannot stand
to see this play

Butchered on matinees
simply because the audience

Happens to be
full of school kids!

I can't stand
to see it murdered

On two-show saturdays!

I can't stand to see it
tossed off or phoned in

Or walked through.

I cannot stand
to see this play done badly!

Now why is that so hard
for people to understand?!

I'm not talking
about "people".

I hate "people"
as much as you.

I'm talking about the way
that you treat me.

It has nothing to do with
the integrity of the work.

It's personal.

Personal?

It's all personal crap
mixed up with work.

I think work
is personal crap!

Well, that proves my point,
doesn't it?

Oh, and you
compartmentalize?

You've got an ego
bigger than this building!

You see?
That's an insult.

You just insulted me.

You're like school boy
with a crush.

(laughing)
oh, come on.

Look me in the eye
and tell me different.

Ellen...

Look me in the eye
and tell me different.

You see?

Hey, there you are.

Hey.
Hey.

Hi.

We're done.
Can you believe it?

We have to talk
about hawaii.

Um, can we just enjoy
this moment for what it is

Before we start talking about
all that other stuff?

Okay.

Okay.

Uh...

You were great.

(laughs)

You were great too.

(glasses clink)

You are great.

(laughs)

Kate...

Kate...

Listen...

Cheyenne:
(squeals excitedly) ally oop!

Oh...

Cheyenne.

Oh god, you were so awesome,
you fucking star!

You saw the show?

I flew up.

What? I'm fucking not going
to see you do hamlet, you loser?

God, I can't keep
my hands off you.

I just want to-

Kate,
this is cheyenne.

Hi.
Hi.

She's going to be
in the movie with me.

(sexy sigh)

Oh you were the lawyer
on mistrial diaries, right?

Okay,
those weren't my tits.

I want everybody
to know that.

They used
a body double.

Okay.

I wish they were my tits,
don't get me wrong.

(laughs)

Kate was ophelia.

Cheyenne:
Oh god.

You were so great.

Really. Wow.

Do you have to cry like that
every night?

My god,
that must be fucking hell.

Yeah, yeah it is.

I have got
to talk to you.

Where are they putting
you up in hawaii?

Uh, they rented a house,
somebody's house.

Okay, I'm in a fucking
seniors resort,

I swear to god.

It's like all cadillacs
and old people.

Really.

So can you
do me a favour?

Can you get your agent
to call my agent

And tell him
what he got you,

Because he's telling me
that everyone's in a suite

And I know
he's fucking lying!

Sure.
Who's your agent?

I fucking love you!

Mmm, is that champagne?

Yeah, it's in the greenroom.

Show me.

Okay.

Yes!

(passionate kisses)

Ah! Okay, stop!

Okay, sorry.

No, no, no, no.

It was to be expected.

It's an end
of season thing.

Was it?

Yes.

It was a release
of tension.

There was a lot
of tension building.

Personal crap.

Exactly.
Now it's done.

That can't ever
happen again.

It was good,
though.

Yes.

I enjoyed it.

That's not the point.

I haven't kissed you
in seven years.

Nearly eight.
And it was nice,

But it can't happen again,
okay?

Now, sorry,
but I have to go home.

Sloan's coming for dinner

And I have to get ready
for the party.

Geoffrey:
Ellen.

Congratulations
on a wonderful season.

Thank you.

That was sarcasm,
wasn't it?

It was a terrible season
except for your hamlet.

Asshole.

See you at the party.

Oh, ellen,
congratulations.

What do you mean
by that?

For the season?
Congratulations?

Oh right, sorry.
Thank you.

Uh, geoffrey,
richard would like to see you.

He's, he's been drinking.

He's drunk, basically.

Wise man.

Congratulations
on a wonderful season, geoffrey.

Well, half season.

Well, it wasn't wonderful
when oliver died.

That was horrible.

But anyway, you know,
congratulations.

Thanks. You too.

First of all... Drink?

Sure.

First of all...

Congratulations
on a wonderful season.

Well, thank you.
You too.

(glasses clink)

Secondly of all...

We are in terrible
financial shape.

We're in the middle
of a serious financial crisis.

The loss of cosmopolitan
lenstrex was a big blow,

A big, big, big blow.

Yeah.

I'm so sorry.

She was a witch.

She seduced me, man.

And, you know,

I haven't had much
experience with women...

It's okay.

The sex,
oh it was gymnastic.

Richard,

What's done is done.

What the hell
are we going to do?

I mean, I know what
I'm going to have to do.

I'm going to have to go
to the minister of culture

And beg for money

Like some kind
of blind hurdler.

Well, I think
we should downsize.

We're going to have
to downsize.

I'm going to have
to fire people.

Anna's going to kill me.

Richard,
I agree with you.

Oh?

Yeah.
This place is too big.

We need a small company
of good, solid actors,

And a little fear.
There's not enough fear here.

Actors should be frightened
for their lives.

That's when they do
their best work.

Really?

Mmm-hmm.

That's just like
normal people.

Mmm-hmm.

Well...

Then...

All I have to say to you sir,

Is I'm going to do my best
to try and support you

And to be better at my job.

Drink?

No, you know what?
Why don't we, uh,

We'll share a bottle
at the party.

Richard:
I don't think anybody wants me there.

Geoffrey:
Oh come on, they all love you.

Let's go.

All right.

Oh wait! Wait!

There's good news!

Henry breedlove
is finally available.

What would he do
exactly?

Macbeth.

Where?

Where?! Here!

At the rose.

Oliver always wanted it.

It's not in the season!

Well, we'll cut something.

You know, um...

Anthony and cleopatra.

No!

No, no, geoffrey,
come on!

This is good news!

Henry is a major draw.
Ca ching!

Oliver always wanted him
to play the part.

He talked about it
all the time.

It would be
a great tribute.

No!

I am not doing macbeth!

It is an extraordinarily
difficult play

To stage effectively.

No it's not.

I'm not talking to you.

No, no, come on!
Geoffrey!

This is good news!

(shrieks)

Oh god!

I want to give you
your end of season reward.

Sweetie, I told you
I needed some time alone.

Can it wait?

Well it doesn't
want to wait.

Ellen:
I'm sure it doesn't.

How did you
get in here?

I, uh, slipped the catch
on the kitchen window.

I just wanted
to surprise you.

Sweetie...

People my age don't like
being surprised.

We can die of surprise.

Fine. I'll uh...
I'll go.

I'm sorry.
It's a very emotional day.

It's the end of season.
It's difficult.

Sloan:
You can't keep shutting me out, ellen.

What?

You're all about your work,
you know?

Hey, I understand that.

I spend 20 hours a week
in the weight room.

I know what it's like
to be dedicated to what I do.

20 hours a week?

But I don't let the fact
that I win or lose a race

Effect our relationship.

You know what I'm saying?

You can compartmentalize.

What?

It's different
in the theatre.

Sloan:
Okay, so maybe it is.

Maybe an actor can't separate
his life and his work.

So...

So just let me in.

Let me into your world.

Oh, sweetie,
you don't want to go there.

It's a horrible place.

Okay, fine.

Forget I said anything.

Sorry.

You're right,
you're absolutely right.

God, I don't deserve you.

I'll tell you what,

You can come
to the party.

You can spend the night
with a bunch of drunken actors

And then you can see
why I want to keep you away

From my world.

That's cool.

Now can I give you your uh,
your reward?

Okay...

But it will
have to be quick.

(nervous exhale)

Oh my god!

What the hell is that?!

It was my kawasaki.

Ellen...

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Cyril:
Benedict has arrived!

(big kiss)

Hey.

Come on, love,
let's have a nip.

Benedict?

As in arnold.

It's a term of affection,
dearie.

Have you seen geoffrey?

I saw his hamlet.
It was greatly overrated.

Have you seen geoffrey?

Ah, the ghost light.

Ah, for the ghosts.

You ever seen one?

A ghost? No.

I see shadows,
shapes.

They are shy,
ghosts.

I'd like to see one,
though.

So you've never seen....

Oliver?

Nahum:
Oliver welles?

No.

Is something
bothering you?

They want me
to do macbeth.

Damn it.

Why does that
bother you?

I do not like that play.

It teaches us nothing.

It teaches us about evil.

Nahum:
No.

It shows us evil.

It's a portrait
of a psychopath.

Where I come from in nigeria,

It is a familiar sight.

I've had my fill
of psychopaths.

(dance music plays)

Let's do it.

What?

I want to dance
with my fiancee.

Remember I said not to say
that word out loud.

Come on,
just one dance.

I can't, sweetie,
my feet hurt.

Come on!

I've been in queen shoes
all day. Sorry.

Well I got to.
The beat's got my feet.

(dance music continues)

Do you mind?

No, no.

Women should stick together
on closing nights.

After the apprentices
have had a few

They start hunting for strays
like a pack of jackals.

Cheyenne:
(shrieks with laughter)

Who's that person
with jack?

Cheyenne:
(laughs and giggles)

Oh that's a friend of his
who came in for the last show.

Do you hate her?

Yes.

Can I ask you something?

I don't know what to say,
dear.

It's gonna hurt
when he's gone.

He wants me
to come with him.

Oh what? And hang around
the craft table

While they have sex
in a spaceship?

You'll be miserable.

Well, he thinks
I could get work.

Playing some fat stand-up's
goofy secretary

And thinking
all the while

"I gave up juliet
for this?"

No, dear.

Hollywood is not the place
for an actress of your calibre.

Thank you.

You don't know what it means
to me to hear you say that.

Well...

It wasn't easy
to say that.

He asked me to marry him.

When?

Today, at his apartment.

Well, men ask women
to marry them

For all sorts
of stupid reasons.

Don't let that cloud
your judgement.

Cheyenne:
No, I'm totally serious.

They take fat from your ass
and put it in your cheeks.

Wow.

I mean, fuck off,
doctor, you know?

Hi.

Can I borrow him
for a minute?

Oh.

Geoffrey:
What is she?

She was miss nebraska.
Now she's uh...

A monster.

Ah.

Hey, uh,
thank you for everything.

This has been the most
incredible experience

Of my life.

I wish I could stay.

Why don't you?

I can't.
I'd be sued.

I owe the studio
three pictures.

Oh.

Is that a good thing?

We'll see.

I asked kate
to marry me.

She won't give me
an answer.

My limo gets here
at 9:00.

Well, "this is the very
ecstasy of love".

From one hamlet
to another.

(clink)

(dance tune changes)

Sloan:
Anna, come with me. Come on.

Woo!

Frank:
(laughs)

Cyril:
He turned to him and he said,

He said, "my boy...

A secret is something
you never share.

Kindly keep your war wound
to yourself.

(laughter)

I want to apologize
for everything I've done:

For selling out the festival,

And for sabotaging
the hamlet.

My behaviour
was inexcusable.

It was a sex thing.

I want to tell all of you
that nothing like that

Will ever happen again.
I swear to god.

Do you remember
that time young peter

Entered two scenes
too early

To announce that lady m
had kicked the bucket

And without missing a beat
stephen armond said,

"you might want to check
with her doctor.

I think she's still
hanging on."

(laughter)

Hanging on.

Geoffrey.

What have you got for me
next season?

Well, I don't know,
brian.

You don't know?

You're just going to make up
the season as you go along, eh?

Things are kind of
up in the air right now.

I might not even
be coming back.

Board came to its senses,
did it?

Well, no,
it's my decision actually.

Well, geoffrey,
I think a year or two off

Will be good for you.

Get some perspective.

Learn your craft.

Where does this attitude
come from exactly?

You see that's your problem,
right there.

Lack of respect.

You know,
you left here in disgrace

And then you came
scurrying back

With your tail
between your legs.

You dragged oliver's memory
through the dirt-

Watch what you say,
brian.

You directed one play.

This was oliver's season,
not yours.

Remember that.
You stole it from him.

And since you're going
let me tell you this,

You're not worthy
of this theatre.

You never were.

Rest perturbed spirit,

Rest.

Well, that was lovely.

He's been here forever.

Oh haven't we all.

Oh jesus, geoffrey,
life is horrible.

Amen.

I'm quitting.

What?

I'm quitting
my job.

Because of brian?

No.

Although that little exchange
doesn't help.

No, I'm just...

Oh I'm sick of this place.

Don't leave me here alone,
geoffrey.

Oh don't worry,

I don't think
you'll be alone.

Sloan:
(shouts) ellen!

Christ.

Okay, this is it.
Uh, I gotta go.

The limo's waiting.
I gotta pack.

Okay, let's go.

No, I can't-
jack, I can't go with you.

I can't.

I have dreamt of being here
my entire life.

Okay-

They've asked me
to play juliet.

Do you know what
that means to me?

Do you...

You're asking me
to give that up.

I'm asking you to marry me.

I'm asking you to marry me

And I've never asked anyone
to marry me before...

In real life.

Jack, please don't make
this about

Whether or not
I want to marry you.

That's exactly what
this is about.

No it's not.

Yes it is.

It-it...

If that's what this is about,
then no.

No?

No.

There, I said it.

Say the whole thing.

Say the whole thing.
Say...

Say it.
Say "no...

I don't want to marry you,
jack."

Shut up.

Say it!

Stop!
Stop torturing me.

I said no.
That's all I have to say.

Go get in the limo
and go to hawaii.

(strangled) no...

Okay,
I'm going to call you

On my cell phone.

Sloan:
Conga!

You know,
he's not a threat to you.

Who?

The boy.

Love you!

A threat to what exactly?

Oh jesus, geoffrey,

Why do you make me
squirm like this?

We have a relationship.

Don't we?

Okay.

So he's not a threat
to the thing we have.

Well, that's wonderful.

But your little dalliance
with skippy over there

Is not the reason
that I'm leaving.

Oh jesus christ,
what then?

They're making me change
the season.

They want me to drop
anthony and cleopatra.

Oh shit.

Why?
To do "cats"?

No.

Macbeth.

God, really?

So I would play lady m.?

Who would play mackers?

Henry breedlove.

Geoffrey, that is thrilling!
He's brilliant!

And it is a better play
than anthony and cleopatra.

No, no, no, no, no!

Arguably it is not
a better play.

It's actually
quite flawed.

It is extraordinarily difficult
to stage effectively.

It is blood, blood, blood
and more blood,

And I don't want
to do it.

This was oliver's thing.

It would be a nice gesture
in oliver's memory.

You know?

Oh god, ellen.
You too?

It would be good karma.

Karma.

You just want to play
lady macbeth.

God, yes.

I don't believe this!

Oliver welles is dead!

I poured him in the river
and swans ate him.

What do I have to do

To get this man
out of my life?!

You think he's going
to come back, don't you?

What?
No, that's not it.

That's what it is,
isn't it?

No, it is not.

I'll be there if he does.

Oh, thank you.

But, you know,
frankly,

All this talk about
our special relationship

And how you'll be there
to protect me,

Well it kind of rings
just a little hollow

Given the present
circumstances.

Woman:
(shrieks)

(crash)

Sloan:
(drunken laugh)

Hey, I'm all right.

Would you excuse me
for a moment?

Sure.

Sloan:
Whoa!

(guttural sob)

(sobs)

He lied.

(bangs on wall)

(guttural sob)

(sobs)

Sloan:
I'm so wasted.

Ellen:
I know.

Sloan:
Hey, what about my bike?

Ellen:
It'll be safe here.

Sloan:
I can ride it.

Ellen:
Oh no you can't, dear.

316 mackenzie place,
basement apartment.

Entrance is at the side.

I want to dance.

And the key's
in the milk box.

I want to dance
with my wife!

Shut up, dear.

I'm sorry, but...

You're going to think
I'm horrible...

I can't take this.

If you were sober

You could see the wisdom
in this.

You're young; I'm old.
It's not natural.

What's happening?

You have to find yourself
a little raver baby thingy.

Sorry.

You're wonderful.

I'm horrible.

Fuck!

Just go now, please,
before one of us throws up.

Kate,
does jack love you?

Yes.

Do you love jack?

Yes.

Then go.

Just go.

(incredulous laugh)
you just-

You just told me
that I'd be miserable.

This is the life
of an actress:

You play the ingenues,
you play the queens,

You play the dreaded nurse
and then you retire to pal.

And you sit there
in the dining room

Eating rice pudding,
and hearing endless tales

Of life on
the wicked stage,

And you realize that you
never really lived at all.

You just pretended.

Is that what you want?

I can't believe
you're saying this to me.

I'm supposed to play juliet.

You can play it,
or you can live it.

Your choice.

Oh my god.

Kate, you know me.

I'm petty and bitter.

There's a reason for that,
okay?

Don't make me
spell it out!

Just go.

"go girl.

Seek happy nights
to happy days."

See? I'm playing
the nurse already.

Oh, thank you,
thank you.

Here she comes.

Richard: (singing)
ô for my military knowledge ô

Ô though I'm plucky
and adventury ô

Ô has only brought me down to
the beginning of the century ô

Ô but still in matters
vegetable, ô

Ô animal and mineral, ô

Ô I am the very model
of a modern major-general ô

(ends on a big note
and holds it)

(single person claps)

Cyril:
You've got quite the voice.

Thanks.

I played schroeder
in my high school production

Of "you're a good man
charlie brown".

Do you know
that musical?

Yes I do.

Well I won
the drama award.

Cyril:
I'm not surprised.

Geoffrey,

Sloan proposed
to me today.

I said yes.

Well.

Mazel tov.

I don't know what life
I'm supposed to be living,

But I'm guessing
it's not as sloan's

Older, crazy,
actress wife.

So I ended it.

I gave him back his sweet
little diamond chip

And I sent him
on his way.

It was very,
very hard,

So don't write it off
with some sarcastic remark.

I did it for you,
okay?

Now...

You be brave
and you suck it up

And you stay here
and you direct me

In that fucking play!

(deep sigh)

Geoffrey!

Uh, ladies and gentlemen,

Ladies and gentlemen
could you please gather...

Gather your senses
for a moment.

I'd just like to say that these
last few months

Have been uh...

Well, an often enjoyable
and always interesting journey

Down into the depths of hell.

But I would urge you
to brace yourselves

For the future.

The festival is in the shitter,
financially at least,

And the road that lies ahead
would make dante himself

Hock his ticket.

Electra, pericles,
troilus and cressida,

Pirates of penzance,
a murder in the cathedral,

Romeo and juliet,

A new canadian play,

And most frighteningly...

Macbeth.

Richard:
(claps by himself)

Geoffrey:
Yes, macbeth is a late addition to the season,

A mandated tribute
to the late oliver welles.

(applause and cheers)

There will be struggle,

There will be sacrifice,

There will be tears,

There will be the occasional
fist fight,

And in the end there will be...

Transformation.

It just breaks my heart
that not all of you...

Can be part of it.

Thank you.

(smattering of applause)

Happy?

Take me home.

Sure.

(cyril plays the piano)

Frank: (sings)
ô all I have are memories ô

Ô and memories make me blue ô

Ô all my days are days gone by ô

Ô what once made me smile ô

Ô now makes me cry ô

Ô a wishing well,
a steeple bell, ô

Ô a bicycle built for two ô

(laughs)

Frank: (singing)
ô nothing more than memories ô

Ô memories of you ô

Geoffrey, wait.

What?

I'm a lot older now.

Yeah, me too.

I just don't want you
to be disappointed.

Oh ellen, god.

I don't know
who you've been with.

Firm young actresses?

No.

No. What?
Firm young actors?

No. I haven't been
with anyone.

You're lying.

No, I'm telling you
the truth.

For eight years?

Ellen, listen,
you have to remember,

I was in an asylum.

And then when I got out,

I just kind of never met
the right girl.

God, geoffrey,
I've been with a few-

I know.

Dozens:

Waiters, apprentices.

I know.

None of them meant
anything to me.

What about your fiance?

Stick to the topic.

Ellen...

I've never thought about
anybody but you.

Geoffrey.

Don't make me cry.

I look way older
when I cry.

Oh, shhh...

(passionate kissing)

Cyril: (sings)
ô a small cafe along the lake ô

Ô a love that was pure
and true ô

Ô all I have are memories ô

Ô memories of you ô

(pats his back)

Frank:
(sighs) I'm knackered.

Yes.

Let's go home.

(train horn blows in distance)
