I need to finish this-

The submission deadline was yesterday
A rat-faced monster-

There is no wind either

To hell with the poplar trees

Four liters of Vox, please

What about the buns and whipped creams-

?You have money
Tea for one-

?This is your brother
.Yes, Mrs. Trilling-

.but he only ordered tea for one

And what money will you use?
I was hoping you would lend me a shilling-

?I didn't mean tea. What will you live on?
My book is sold in all stores-

, people don't buy such books
.right? -Exactly yes

People who read

He is a promising young poet

?Another parasitic genius
?Who is it this time?

.Gordon Comstock
?Comstock-

.he's a little shit

And if you don't go back to this bed inside
, 5 minutes and you will provide me with intoxication

I will go down and tell him to his face
.which is a little shit

, my dear
You have a wonderful sensitivity

.nonsense

?Have you seen our November issue?
.not. - page 17

You posted it. -Our readers love
.songs about dying whores

"Misery and humiliation"
To me it's fascinating

, it has become your hallmark
.Gordon

?Do you have plans? - Plans
You have to make a living somehow-

But I will make a living from writing
.that's the whole idea

I sent some songs
," to "Primrose Quarterly

." and "Californian Review
in the USA

and...? - I am working on a collection
."New songs called "Pleasures London

.She's on... London
and the pleasures-

.but the pleasures turn out to be torments
The title is ironic

.of course
I almost finished the first song-

.is on poplar trees
.and my book is sold in all stores

I published it
.Gordon. 107 copies were sold

That's not bad, considering
, that this is poetry, modern poetry

By an unknown poet who did not study
,' in Oxford or Cambridge

, and is not gay. And don't forget
...in the "Times" literature supplement they wrote

I know what they wrote
.I wrote it

Paul Doering is having a party
On Saturday in a week

?Do you know Paul? -The visitor
He is a rather disgusting man-

.Educated at Eton and Oxford
.comes from a family of bankers

.He's a communist, of course
.of course-

There will be editors and the like
Maybe you'll be interested there

I'll pass there if I'm not busy

?Where did I leave it?

Treat yourself to a cigarette
.thanks-

.sorry, I should have suggested
.this is what I was looking for

?How about working in a bookstore?
in a bookstore-

.Even poets have to eat
I don't need to eat-

.unless you found a rich lover

No, she's not rich
...she doesn't even let me

I have a friend in Hampstead
who runs a bookstore and is looking for an assistant

i don't want
To work in a bookstore

Gordon, nobody appreciates
, your talent more than me

?But you see it
.yes-

.poetry

?poetry
.yes, Shira-

Oh my God
Much of it is terrible, of course-

But I ask that you consider the
The possibility to work in a bookstore

If waiting for the intoxication of the senses
Go on, I'll go somewhere else

Gordon, you met Hermione
.yes, we met-

How is your sex life?
?Mr. Comstock

It is not customary to complain
I'm complaining-

I already lost orgasm
One because of you

And one of the facts of life
She had a missed orgasm

Never coming back

.I really have to go
Yes, I think so too-

I will keep in touch
First of all send a letter-

Make an appointment in advance
.and not on Thursday

Good luck, Gordon

It's all about money
.All life revolves around money

Revalstone is rich. to Revelston
.has everything he wants

Revalston can have sex
.afternoon. - It's not because of the money

I can't have sex
.afternoon. -It's very different

here she is We passed it. - I don't
.interested. Just a stale bookstore

I want to know why I can't
.have sex in the afternoon

.not out loud
?why? Just because I don't have money-

We agreed to wait until... - No, you
You agreed to wait. I did not agree

?how long
you have a meeting-

It is full of books
?This is a bookstore. what did you expect-

?Fruits and vegetables

, if I get hired
?I can have sex this afternoon

, Gordon
We have nowhere to go in the afternoon

...alley, shed or platform in the park
.it doesn't fit. Not to us

I'm not ready to make love
.in a place where dogs peed

You are such a bourgeois
It's not bourgeois, it's hygiene-

But yes, I am bourgeois
.and you too

That's always been my problem

.one day. soon
?soon-

Can you name the date?
?Maybe on Thursday

I have to go back to work

.He's ringing you, Gordon

You are looking for a job with a chance
?For promotion, Mr. Comstock

.I despise promotion. -excellent

I cannot offer you a promotion
The working hours are long

The salary is poor

, you express yourself beautifully

?and able to perform a simple calculation
.yes. -excellent-

, from a professional point of view
You enter a dead end street

.I wish you enjoy it

.Mr. Comstock

?Where do you live?

I don't have a permanent address at the moment
.I lived with my aunt in Highgate

.Willowbed Street. around the corner-

Select any house
.with an aspidistra plant in the window

.it is a sure sign of respectable status
?Aspidistra-

- rooms for rent -

?You're single, Mr. Comstock
.yes-

I only rent to singles
.for understandable reasons. -indeed

I do not allow my tenants
, to host in their rooms

.again, for obvious reasons

You can host male guests
in the lounge on the ground floor

, when he is free
...but as for criticisms

, for understandable reasons
.'Mrs. Wizwitz

To me, this is a rather cheerful room
.cheerful. yes, of course-

Thanks for the peek

!They sell me for 3 pence

I received a letter from him. he writes
.who sell it for 3 pennies

He is discouraged
This is more or less the usual situation-

He hates his job
, he hates his apartment

, he hates his landlady
.and doesn't want to see me ever

Tea and cookies please
Chocolate cookies? -definitely-

Say hello to him from me
When you see him. -okay

Why does the world need artists?

Why do artists need the world?

try and express his feelings

, in music, or in painting
Or in words

Madness. That's the reason
.Gordon! -I need to talk to you-

.Next slide, please

I can't talk right now
Let's go for a walk-

Art is of no interest to anyone
Me yes. -This is bullshit-

.We seem to be out of focus

.forgiveness

I paid good money
.to come to these lectures

You didn't answer my letter
Let me remind you-

, that in your letter you wrote, "Dear Rosemary
You rejected me, you threw me in the street

in the box of discounted books"
You broke my heart. peace forever

".yours, Gordon"
You shouldn't have believed it-

?You believed it
Of course not. You are a compulsive liar-

.All artists are liars
They said that in the previous lecture

I like your hat

.I want a kiss
I prefer a cup of tea-

You always prefer a cup of tea

And most of all I hate
You're the aspidistra in my room

Only rich people who studied at Oxford
.can be successful writers

It is also better to be uplifting and friendly
The quorum in the Communist Party

.Ravelston is not like that

, he is rich
.heterosexual and socialist

He's in bed with Hermione
.and thinking of the unemployed in Middlesbrough

Of course he doesn't dream of going there
.He must not know where it is

?Gordon. -what
Where is Middlesbrough?

Get on the train to Middlesbrough
and get off at the station. That's not the point

?come with me -where
I want to kiss in the alley-

.you need to shave
I don't have money for razors-

What will you do?
.I can grow a beard-

Let's go to the village
It's dark, and there are animals-

.not now, on Sunday
Let's get away from London

And the work and the money
.and the Aspidistras

Let's find trees and fields
.and fresh air

Promise me, no poplar trees
.Rohan, and without daffodils

.Let's go to the beaches of Burnham
, the real English village

.as in Constable's paintings
A pastoral trip

.maybe this will inspire you

Maybe it will inspire me
.to gently caress your ass

.there is a time and a place for that
.and try to speak without mistakes

."The place is "Burnham Beaches
The time is Sunday

.visible. I don't promise
.It's time for my train

I really love you
The devil knows why

.shilling and 4 pence. -thanks

, two tickets to Farnham
Buses in both directions

, lunch for two
Maybe tea

, cigarettes
...various and unexpected expenses

.at least 10 shillings

7 pence
The result: celibacy

, 5 shillings
.but 10 is better

I hope you understand
Where will this money come from?

.if I agree to lend it to you
.from you, I guess-

.my Christmas projector
What, Christmas is already here-

Gordon, please
.Don't try to help

.You're missing a button on your shirt
.you need someone to take care of you

In a way, that's why
?That I am asking for the money. -forgiveness

I will take on Sunday
Rosemary for a day in the village

And I thought of asking her
A very important question

?Propose to her
If the conditions are good-

.Gordon, that's wonderful
I am happy

It's a secret, of course. - You can
.trust me. - I trust you

That's why I came
.as I told you

I don't keep my money
?...Christmas is here. - Maybe simple

No way. I will be fired
I don't mean for you to steal-

Maybe you can borrow it

And return in the morning
And what's your part in all this-

I will find happiness
.and Rosemary too

.and you too, one day
Don't talk nonsense-

I owe you 5 pounds, and I will pay you back
.the full amount by Christmas

, I promise you
As a brother, as a poet. - Shut up

.here he is

I forgot how big it is

I like your hat
But take him down. -why

.you have gray hair
.I have three, to be exact-

You know I only have
?Twenty-five teeth

I counted them not long ago
.and not all of them are perfect

No starter, thanks
Just cold marinated meat and salad

,fish? - Not a fish
Just cold marinated meat and salad

We love cold pickled meat

And drink, sir
Two glasses of water please-

Bring me the wine list
Of course, sir-

?You can see
My lady is the expert-

My family owns the wineries

?The claret, my dear
.yes, the claret-

, a whole bottle or half a bottle
?sir

!A whole bottle, dammit
.Certainly, sir-

.a whole bottle

?That's right, about the wineries
!not-

But it is true that the claret is the wine
The cheapest on the list

, and he knew it
.the slippery squid

And I know a secret about Claret
.what? -making money from it-

.If we get drunk, I might take advantage of you
How terrible!

Anything else, sir? - Yes, where
?The nearest isolated corner

Excuse me, sir? -Secluded corner
?You don't know what it is

I'm afraid not, ma'am
Yes, why would you know-

, and just for your information
The cold marinated meat was lukewarm

Are you really drunk?
I said I'd get drunk-

This is what I call an isolated corner

A quiet corner just for us

full of sweet dreams
.and sweet breaths

Are you afraid?
?not. and you-

Not afraid. confused

I didn't know your underwear
.will be so complicated

.don't worry
I know how they work

And by the way, I saw paintings
of Adam and Eve

And Adam didn't wear a jacket
.and flannel pants

...Of course not. simple
...to see you like this

.that's amazing

I don't deserve to be amazed

.Gordon

Buttons left
?On this shirt

.few

.Gordon

?Did you bring something?
If I brought something-

Something you buy at a hairdresser
.or at a pharmacy

I bought a special razor

I was hoping you would notice

I'm not talking about razors
I'm talking about contraceptives

.I thought women took care of that
As they take care of everything else-

.they are so good at it
I can't give birth-

...the child will be mine, ours

A wonderful, beautiful and talented boy

!You are impossible

?It's not going well, what?
.it doesn't work at all. it went-

Again a matter of money
Always money

"Here resides love, tenderness and money"
But the biggest of them is money

You didn't mean you couldn't give birth
You meant that you don't dare to give birth

If you get fired and I have no money
The three of us are starving

Revelston can give birth
.as many children as he likes

?He has children
Of course not. He is a refined man-

And he wouldn't walk either
?To the train station

This is not what I planned
To buy claret with money for the bus

And he must have paid someone too
.so that it doesn't rain

The rain doesn't fall on people like him
.only about people like us

God, who created
?This beautiful world

when will he give his children
?Enjoy the benefit of the doubt

?How long, God?
?how long

This is a restaurant-

Bring me the wine list

Gordon, I have something important to tell you
?My dear! you are pregnant-

Let me pay for the meal
No way...

At least half and half. -I am a personality
, international in the field of literature

.and I have 24 teeth

, you must understand

International personalities in the field
The books pay for themselves

.wrong
I do-

?Now, what will you drink?

I will drink beer
Me too, please, Gordon-

The opium of the working class

A bottle of Wo Calico
.and three large glasses. -yes

.to the life of literature
and the poet Comstock-

"Oh, how wonderful Comstock is!"

, read "God for Comstock"
"'.'England and St. George

your turn -“The Comstock of Dunden
The sounds of the day are gone." - Wonderful

What fun, isn't it?
It's easy to corrupt people

"Comstock, Comstock"
Like a fire roaring in the darkness of the night forests

"What is the immortal hand of the eye?"
?"She designed according to your figure, Ima

Tell me, friend
?It's the real thing, isn't it?

Not the middle class
.the Middlesbrough scumbags

Not the creeping middle class
, with their espidistras

.but the real upper class
?That's it, isn't it?

.yeah, that's it
.that's very nice-

I understand why you keep
.it for yourselves

Let's finish it right away
.so that we can order more

A little song from my last collection
No thanks. -not for me-

You will love him
.not out loud, Gordon-

The famous poet
, W.H. Oden said

I'm nothing compared to Gordon"

I feel frustrated when
"Takes out the bulbul

Did you hear?

, she heard
.and she is not amused

I have an even better one
On TS Eliot

Thank you

God
It's not cheap to join the upper class

But the people smell
.much better

.I will never go back to the mob

We'll take him home

?The home
No, not home

The threatening wind blew sharply on
"...the leaning Comstock tops

.No, we're not coming home
First we'll have a last drink

Come with me, my dear

.I didn't get a kiss all night

"Give free rein to my wandering hands"
Rosemary

.Don't talk nonsense, Gordon
.it's ok-

We joined the upper class
We paid the membership fees in full

.we can do as we please

.You wouldn't do that to Byron

I would do it
!To the stinking Keats and Byron too

.'You forgot Wordsworth

Rosemary said she would come home
on her own. - I'll find a taxi

We have time for one last drink
.before they close

When you turn around, we would like to
.from this beer. for drinking

.a large amount, if possible

?You are celebrating
.yes, we are celebrating-

We are a famous poet
, all over the world, since Tuesday

So the drinks are on the house
.Gordon, no-

, for these people, for these poor people
.deserves to drink at the expense of the rich

I am a man of means
, if the drinks are at the house's expense -

Let's see what color
.has to your means

.Forgive me, Julia

You have an excess of white and black regime
?of five pounds

I think it's possible

.No more ordering, please

The threatening wind blew sharply on
"...tops of the leaning poplar trees

.a cup of tea for Mr. Shakespeare

.thanks

.You left a strong impression yesterday
What did I do-

Getting drunk in a public place

Taking Aspidistra
, without permission from its owner

.and beating a police officer
?really-

.He said it didn't hurt him
What to do if I want to throw up-

...the toilets are there

.at the end of the corridor, sir...

Take a bath before the meeting
.with Mr. Krum, the judge

?What punishment will I receive?
- Five pounds or 14 days

.that's fine
I have five pounds

.I had five pounds

14 days, then

Five pounds or 14 days

Just a moment

I see that according to the police report
.You claim to be a poet

?Are you a poet?
.indeed-

Five pounds or 14 days
.next in line

.don't worry

.Gordon can't afford it

.I'll take care of it. come on

I will return the five pounds
We will deduct them from your royalties-

I called Mr. McKenney from the store
I told him you had the flu

And I visited Mrs
The menacing Wizevich

I told her that she was called unexpectedly
.to feed your sick mother

did she believe you - I think so
.that she doesn't believe anyone

Why are you so good to me?

Because you are an international personality
.in the field of literature. -Thank you, Rosemary

Do you want to drink something?
No way...

I have an important meeting
"with the marketing director of "Bowks

And I'm already late
You tell him

Tell me what? -Starting now
You will obey the instructions

Hello, my dear

I don't think I will love you

?Very true. You will be here for a long time
Philip went to buy newspapers-

what are you talking about -yesterday
I have committed a serious crime against society

?You only started yesterday
, if it wasn't reported in the newspapers-

I can continue to work at my job
.and live in the wretched rooms

?And if it was reported
I will throw it into the street-

,in a certain sense
?We were all thrown out into the street, weren't we?

Some of us are walking around
?On better streets, no

Regards, Gordon. the visitors
Don't write about your sentence

."not even "promising talent
They also ignored my book-

?Then you can go home
?why? Thursday today-

?If I thank you, it will help
It's not mandatory-

You are wrong
Everything is a must

you really like
?You are the lower class, my dear

.not the lower class, my dear
The working class

.both have the same smell

.Gordon is not from the working class
.is... short-tall-medium

He is a parasite and a little crybaby

I am a socialist
I like them all

We are all socialists, my dear
But you don't have to like everyone

Especially people who stink
.it's just disgusting

"The God of Money"
The follower with a scrutinizing and jealous eye

, after our thoughts, our dreams"
, our secret customs

who chooses our words"
and cut our clothes

".and outlines the pattern of our days"

.Good morning, Mr. McKenney

.Mr. Comstock

Do you read "Norat
?"London Courier and Advertiser

?There is a poetry review there

A poet was banned for drunkenness

I was told you had the flu

I really had a headache
I imagine-

.now you will have another one
Do you mean unemployment?

?Like in Middlesbrough

01:04:10,090
I was right. You really attacked
.you are my Aspidistra

Only because you had nothing else
.'that is worth attacking, Mrs. Wizwitz

Your friend really burned
.all the bridges this time

.No, Mr. Erskine
.He didn't burn anything

.He got a little drunk and ended up in jail
.tragedy. brilliant copywriter-

And you were the greatest team
.Since Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Meh-Smo

?Livingstone
.exactly-

?How much do we pay you, miss?
Three pounds a week-

, we recognize new talents
, here in New Albion

and the good graphic designer
.the most we've ever had

Vox "thinks you're better"
.What's his name, Leonardo something

?Leonardo da Vinci
Better than both-

So maybe an extra 10 shillings
?per week, along with the promotion

For what role?
.the head of the... what Comstock suggested-

Head of the creative department
.exactly-

.but... don't tell the boys
You know they are sensitive

Yes, I know a lot
.on sensitive men

It was a very modest incident

, I promise you
.Comstock is extremely reliable

Has a lot of experience in selling books

A well-known lover of English literature
.absolutely charming

Why does everyone want to help me?
All the time? Let me go and that's enough

I deserve to be ignored
.and they will neglect me

?I don't deserve a bit of neglect
I am an antique with receipts

where is your coat - I pawned it
.'to pay Mrs. Wizwitz

?These are your only clothes
?Why don't you wear your suit?

I'm tired of her

It is dry cleaned
The vomit is removed from her

, if I could pay for the dry cleaning
I could have pawned her

Then I could pay
.on the dry cleaning

Gordon, you're a lost cause
I agree. I have no hope-

You can solve all the problems
.yours tomorrow. -Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

How can I solve the problems?
!my? - Go back to the previous job

I got a promotion and a raise
, Mr. Erskine asks me every day

"?When is Gordon coming back?"
.” The answer is, “never-

Gordon is a poet
.free spirit... -thorn in the ass

.Life is a thorn in the ass
.that's their hallmark

.Gordon, for God's sake, shut up
I'm tired of your philosophizing

On the meaning of art and life
And you don't want to see me anymore-

right. i don't want
.to see you more

You are serious
.yes. I finally raised my hands-

beauty. It is without a doubt
.the best policy

Mr. Comstock

We found you a job
I enjoyed my leisure life-

No, you enjoy being a parasite

Unfortunately, this is also a shop job
The books. This is what I was able to achieve

.in Lambeth. Mr. Cheeseman
?'lamb-

.Cheesman

...my dear

?Are you okay, my dear?
.yes-

.Poor Comstock

Can we help you?
Cheeseman? -yes-

.Comstock

?Want chips?
.no thanks-

?You get drunk often
.not. It was a momentary stumble-

.not that I care
.I pay 30 shillings a week

You won't be able to afford it
A lot of stumbles

.the rare books here
The prices are listed on them

Borrowing books at two pence

.the usual categories

, the wild west, crime
.romance, sex

It's an easy job

Get drunk if you want
But don't carry from the cash register

, it upsets me
.and I have a cousin who breaks his legs

?There are questions
Why is the store called Eldridge?

.'My uncle's name was Eldridge
He bequeathed the store to me

.old clothes
.this is my real profession

, books... I hate them
.but profits from them here and there

I have never read a book
It's an interesting field-

.Mr. Orton, the undertaker
He is a good neighbor

He always has a cup of tea
.and an amusing story

?I can find accommodation in the area
Is cleanliness important to you? -not-

You won't have any trouble finding it
.thanks-

, the price is 8 shillings a week

, but that includes inviting guests
.if you understand what I mean

.It's a very reasonable price

And if no one wants to
, to come home with you

Don't be afraid to ask

, if you want to light a fire in the fireplace
A bag of coal costs 6 pence at the Co-op

But the heat attracts the insects

, who live in wallpapers
Then decide

I'll think about it
?There is a bathroom

Not in the whole neighborhood, dear
There is a sink with cold water below

And there is a public bathhouse
.'on Lambeth Street

I bathe there every year
On the birthday, if necessary or not

.definitely. It's a personal matter
And don't worry about the tenant upstairs-

, she makes noises at night
.but she has no control over it

A zeppelin fell on her head during the war

Do you want the payment in advance?
.No, no. when it suits you-

.It's a beautiful room, Mrs. Meekin
Most beautiful

?You're getting used to it, Gordon
With great pleasure, Mr. Orton-

Are there buyers? -regularly
And yours? - I'm busy

It's the cold season
.they die like flies

There is only standing room there

We have a back room
.that you can use it

.Look at the little spawns
- in wax -

Young people have a fighting spirit
.and excellent judgment

You are an educated person
.keep it to yourself

?Is this your phone or mine?
.yours, I think-

.Another one has gone
Death can always be trusted

, I am so happy here
Mr. Orton

...that's great

.That's excellent, Rosemary
.only one thing is missing

.what? - The words
Maybe you'll convince him to come back

?Gordon
He paid his debt to the company-

Gordon is a poet and a free man
He is not ready to go down to prostitution

In return for greed "in Vox". - I wanted to
to manage a dance orchestra

But I don't ruin it for everyone
.your life trying to prove it

A selection of cakes

?Everything is fine, ma'am

.Yes, ma'am

It's me
Rosemary-

Did you find Gordon? -boyfriend
Revelston told me where he was

.'Where is he? -Balambat
God, Lambeth-

.indeed
Go visit him-

I was told not to
I will go there alone

.well, it's south of the river

Ravelston's company says
.that even cats go there in pairs

.but who like her knows
.yes-

.Lemon cake please

It's the seasonal rush. the cold
.People are dying like flies

, but they are very friendly
.and make excellent tea

?When will you return to the civilized world?
To the civilized world-

You mean the advertising office
"New Albion"

?This is what you call culture
I'll show you something

That's what the people here think
.about your bewax culture

Your wonderful illustrations
.my wonderful words

The children draw mustaches for the women
, and boobs for men

.and then tear it apart

, here, the place where we are
This is the culture

, if being civilized is not shaving
, to wear dirty clothes

...not to bathe
?When was the last time you took a bath?

.I will take a bath on my birthday
.it's coming soon

.very good, because you stink
.but I'm very healthy-

...I don't drink, I don't smoke
.that's wonderful. I don't do anything

.You break people's hearts

People need to take responsibility
.on their hearts

.and about their duties
.of course. It's all a question of money-

It has nothing to do with culture

Apart from the fact that there is no difference
.between the two in your world

Money equals culture
.I retired from both, my older sister

."Please, don't call me "Nurse
.never again

You will get the five pounds
.your stinkers

It's not a question of money
.and you know it

?You're not going either
I don't give up that easily-

.I want to see where you live

You will go crazy for the place

?What's that smell?
?It's you

Mrs. Meekin is cooking fish
.'She likes boiled fish on Tuesdays

.this is Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson's baby
His tooth is growing

They have five children in total
.but it's quite a spacious room

Mrs. Harrison. She was out of her mind
.during the war because of a zeppelin

The middle class in prison
, his crazies

as we did
.to Aunt Charlotte. Here it is acceptable

, in the middle of life
We are crazy

Sorry for the cold
, but if I light a fire

The heat attracts the insects
.who live in wallpapers

.It's a pigsty
I'll tell you something interesting-

Where I lived I saw dogs
.many, but not dog shit

I see a lot of crap here
.of dogs, but not dogs

?That's what interests you

not. I also discovered interesting things
.on horse shit

.import

.sorry, dear
I didn't know you were a host

This is Rosemary
Rosemary, this is Mrs. Meekin

Very pleasant
Me too-

I thought you'd be happy to have it
My dear. Beautify the room a little

Thank you, Mrs. Meekin. you don't
, lonely if you have aspidistra

.that's what I always say

, you have a very good kind of friends
.Mr. Comstock

.I know
.insolent bastard-

?Wonderful, right?
.you hate aspidistras-

You don't understand
, for the middle class

Aspidistra is a symbol
.to conformism and respectability

.here, it's a sign of friendship
.to affection

And even for love
It's a nasty place, Gordon-

This is his place
.When you're in the sewers, there's nowhere to fall

don't tell me Oscar Wilde
, said that we all live in the sewers

.but some of us look to the stars
, not here in Lambeth. We are all in the sewers-

, and no one puts on the stars
Because the stars don't shine on us

You don't even write
How did you know? -I looked-

I copied the best parts
To my book, in a nice handwriting

"The God of Money"
, which cools our anger, blocks our hope

And buys our lives and pays in small amounts"

, who receives as a gesture a shattered faith"

"acceptable curses"
". Dull joys

.Come here, Gordon

.Your hair is turning gray
I turned all gray-

Why did you close your eyes?

I prefer not to see the room
I'll try that too-

.here
.that's what the whole mess was about

It was worth it. - Yes, right

Now, tell me about the shit
?of the horses -what

.you promised
.okay-

.There is a man who lives down the street
His name is Sam the Shepherd

He follows the horses
.and collect their shit

.He sells it to people
.It helps their gardens grow

He is happy to sell it
.and they are happy to buy it

.no one has any illusions
.they buy and sell shit

And I asked myself if it was different
From being the head of the creative department

." at the advertising office "New Albion
.probably not-

?So when will we stop pretending?

What's the problem? fleas
most likely-

!?what

I will accompany you to the bus station
no need-

.unless you come with me

I tell you all the time
I am happy here

If so, I'll manage on my own

Good afternoon, sir
?How can we help you?

?The Wild West? crime
?Romance and sex

.it's terrible
You haven't seen anything yet-

"It's horrible. -"Pleasures London
.friend. These are the pleasures of London

Gordon. I see you have
.a rich friend. -Extremely rich

We do good things
.for rich men

He likes to be spanked
I have lettuce

while the orchestra plays
.Eton's rowers song

wrong. - He had
.Childhood Ashoka, for the poor

.for God's sake, Comstock
.sorry, girls-

.He has a headache. peace

?want to drink something?
I need a drink. Desperate-

There is a pub around the corner

?Do you still want to drink?
.no thanks-

I just can't believe you are
.happy here, among these people

?Let me tell you their secret
What is their secret?

They have nothing to lose
, so they always tell the truth

And they survive. - Surviving
What is the point of this survival?

.they are dead. We're all dead, mate
Death can always be trusted

.asked Mr. Orton
.another of your friends? -yes-

And you haven't asked me yet
.if I write

Are you writing? -not
.then you can go to hell

?I can find a taxi
.not-

?that I will come to visit you again
.not-

, you are the most stubborn person
Full of himself, stubborn

, selfish, stupid, perverted
.annoying and shitty I've ever met in my life

In all the years I've known you

This is the first time you have spoken
To me with complete honesty. beauty

.maybe one day we will be friends
.You can catch a bus at the corner

It's a big red thing
.with a bell and stairs on one side

The library is currently making a profit

And today is the first day
of spring

?You knew that
It escaped my notice somehow-

"...when an imagination becomes a thought"
.something like that

?It's from a book

He becomes a thought of love"

when the song will be sung
The swords will clash

And spring dogs will speed up"
discover the traces

In the spring, how beautiful
".Ding-a-ding-ding

?You wrote it
.not. Everyone else wrote this-

This is why I sell books
.instead of reading them

Do you have any romance books? -today

What a pleasant surprise
I hope-

You celebrate the day
?The first of spring

Has your imagination become "
"?For the thought of love

.not exactly, no
My dear, you look pregnant-

.yes
?yes-

...I mean

...that night
That night-

?Then we'll have to get married, no

There are alternative ways

I can't think of any

.you can abandon me
.abandon us

Or I'll get rid of him
Someone from the office gave me an address

It costs five pounds
.it's disgusting-

And I may decide that I am
.don't want to marry you

I'm not forcing you
.do nothing, Gordon

.and you don't have to decide right now

I told you what the situation was
Now I will go

, remember
You are a poet and a free man

I forgot about it

- Library -

Do you have books about pregnancy?

Not for the general public
I'm not the general public-

Are you a medical student? -not

But they treated us rudely

Gordon, it's time
to give a speech

.It's time for me to pay back debts
5 pounds, as I imagine

.My spirit swelled
What did you say about the speech-

Yes, a speech
Are you sure-

I'm sure he rehearsed
Ladies and gentlemen, friends-

Let me thank you all
For your kindness

Rosemary deserves it. i don't

But my fans will be happy to hear-

, that despite the difficulties in organizing the wedding

We convinced the department store to sell to us

Are you okay?
I felt him move-

Can you listen?
You won't hear anything-

Listen. Your father is talking
