Lost Weekend The en
00:02:24	You'd better take this along, Don.
00:02:28	- How many shirts are you taking?
00:02:29	- I'm taking five.
00:02:31	I told them at the office
00:02:34	We'll get there this afternoon.
00:02:38	We'll make it
00:02:40	Sounds long, all right.
00:02:42	It'll be good for you, Don,
00:02:44	Trees, grass,
00:02:47	and water from that well
00:02:49	Wick, please. Why this emphasis
00:02:54	Sorry, Don.
00:02:59	I think it'd be a good idea
00:03:02	What for?
00:03:03	I'm gonna write there,
00:03:06	- You really feel up to writing?
00:03:09	After what
00:03:11	I haven't touched the stuff
00:03:13	I know.
00:03:17	- Where is the typewriter?
00:03:20	In the closet.
00:03:25	Towards the back.
00:03:37	Are you sure it's in the closet?
00:03:40	Well, look by the desk.
00:03:46	Isn't it under your bed?
00:03:51	- Did you find it?
00:03:53	Here it is.
00:03:56	Here's some paper. We'll
00:03:59	Nobody will disturb you.
00:04:01	Maybe Saturday, we can run down
00:04:03	- I'm not going near that club.
00:04:05	They're all a bunch of hypocrites.
00:04:08	'' Look who's here from New York,
00:04:11	Or rather,
00:04:13	Stop it.
00:04:15	The minute we get off the train,
00:04:17	''The leper is back.
00:04:21	- That's Helen.
00:04:25	- Helen.
00:04:28	I'm glad I made it.
00:04:31	The new Thurber book
00:04:33	a nice, quiet little double-murder
00:04:36	cigarettes, gum.
00:04:37	And darling, have a wonderful time.
00:04:39	And don't forget:
00:04:41	Lots of cider and lots of
00:04:44	Bend down.
00:04:51	I must be going.
00:04:53	- So long, Wick.
00:04:55	Carnegie Hall. Bob Roller's conducting.
00:04:59	- Who are you going with?
00:05:00	Nobody? What are they playing?
00:05:04	Brahms second symphony, some Beethoven,
00:05:08	- Sounds wonderful.
00:05:10	- Tuesday.
00:05:11	- I just had a crazy idea.
00:05:14	Who says we have to take
00:05:16	- We could go on the 6:30.
00:05:19	If we took a later train, Helen
00:05:22	She's got two tickets,
00:05:25	No, I'm not going to upset
00:05:27	You're going on the 3:1 5.
00:05:30	Helen, that's so silly.
00:05:32	A whale of a concert,
00:05:34	Everything's all set.
00:05:35	They'll be at the station to meet us
00:05:37	Put in a call that we're taking a later
00:05:41	- Nothing doing. We're going.
00:05:43	Don't worry about that seat. I'll find
00:05:47	There you are. Besides, we have to break
00:05:50	- Five to 3:00.
00:05:52	- Don't be so stubborn.
00:05:57	-Just a minute. I'm not going.
00:06:01	- I want you to go, you and Helen.
00:06:04	That's the idea.
00:06:06	- Since when don't you like Brahms?
00:06:10	Nonsense. If anybody goes--
00:06:13	- There's something in that, Don.
00:06:17	I shouldn't?
00:06:19	- Really, darling.
00:06:21	I couldn't go to the concert.
00:06:23	I couldn't sit through it
00:06:25	Besides, I wanna be alone
00:06:27	Is that such
00:06:29	Don't act so outraged.
00:06:32	- All right. Anything else?
00:06:37	Come on, Helen.
00:06:38	- You'll stay right here.
00:06:41	- Then you'll be here when we get back?
00:06:44	You told us a good many things.
00:06:45	If you don't believe me take my keys,
00:06:48	We've got to trust Don.
00:06:51	Sorry, Don.
00:06:55	- So long, Don.
00:06:58	Bend down.
00:07:17	- What's this?
00:07:19	- How did it get there?
00:07:21	I suppose it dropped from some cloud, or
00:07:25	- I guess I must have put it there.
00:07:27	But I don't remember when.
00:07:30	Maybe the one before.
00:07:34	Don't look at me like that.
00:07:36	I didn't know it was there.
00:07:39	- Then you won't mind.
00:07:53	- Now, you trot along with Helen.
00:07:57	You think I wanted you out
00:08:00	I resent that like the devil.
00:08:02	I don't leave on your blasted weekend!
00:08:05	Let's go.
00:08:12	You'll be good, won't you, darling?
00:08:14	Yes. Will you stop
00:08:16	Let me work it out my way.
00:08:18	We know you're trying.
00:08:21	We're both trying.
00:08:23	and I'm trying not to love you.
00:08:31	Call the farm and tell them
00:08:33	Sure.
00:08:35	So long.
00:08:40	Come on.
00:08:42	What if he goes out
00:08:44	He hasn't a nickel.
00:08:46	that'll give him
00:08:48	Are you sure he doesn't have
00:08:50	I went over the apartment
00:08:53	The places he can figure out.
00:09:58	Who is it?
00:10:01	Mrs. Foley.
00:10:04	Does it have to be today?
00:10:06	I ought to change the sheets,
00:10:09	- Come on Monday.
00:10:12	- Is your brother in?
00:10:15	What about my money?
00:10:19	- What money?
00:10:21	- Didn't he leave it?
00:10:24	- In the kitchen.
00:10:27	In the sugar bowl.
00:10:31	just a minute.
00:10:46	I'm sorry, it isn't there.
00:10:48	I wanted to do some shopping.
00:10:52	- You'll get it Monday.
00:11:18	- Two bottles of rye.
00:11:21	- What are you sorry about?
00:11:23	He's not gonna pay for you anymore.
00:11:27	- Two bottles of rye.
00:11:29	You know what brand.
00:11:32	None of that 1 2-year-old,
00:11:35	- Liquor's all one anyway.
00:11:37	Yes, I want a bag.
00:11:42	Your brother said not to sell to you
00:11:44	I can't stop anybody, can I?
00:11:47	I'm not a minor.
00:11:50	I'm buying this to refill
00:12:04	Yes, sir?
00:12:08	Thank you.
00:12:13	- Good afternoon, Mrs. Deveridge.
00:12:16	That's the nice young man
00:12:24	- How is my very good friend Nat today?
00:12:28	This being an especially
00:12:30	I have decided to ask
00:12:33	If that's your attitude, I'll have to
00:12:36	-Just one, that's all.
00:12:39	It can't?
00:12:41	My brother was here undermining
00:12:44	I didn't tell him nothing about
00:12:46	Thank you very much, Nat.
00:12:49	we can barter on a cash basis.
00:12:51	- One straight rye.
00:13:29	Don't wipe it away.
00:13:31	Let me have my little vicious circle.
00:13:35	You know, the circle
00:13:38	No end, no beginning.
00:13:40	- What time is it?
00:13:43	Good. We have
00:13:45	Let me know when it's a quarter
00:13:49	I'm going to the country
00:13:51	Hello, Mr. Birnam. Happy to have you
00:13:55	Hello, Gloria.
00:13:58	You and all that goes with you...
00:14:01	not that I'm cutting myself off
00:14:08	Now, of course, there arises the problem
00:14:12	How to smuggle these two time bombs
00:14:15	I'll roll one bottle in a copy
00:14:17	so my brother
00:14:19	I want him to discover it.
00:14:22	The other bottle--
00:14:25	That one I'm tucking
00:14:28	He shall transport it himself
00:14:31	Then while he's greeting
00:14:33	I'll slide it out, hide it
00:14:38	Mr. Birnam, why don't you
00:14:42	I may never touch it
00:14:44	What all of you don't understand is
00:14:48	I can't be cut off completely.
00:14:50	That's what drives you crazy.
00:14:52	Yeah, I know a lot of guys like that.
00:14:54	They take a bottle
00:14:57	All they wanna do is look at it.
00:15:01	Then all of the sudden, they
00:15:05	One more reproving word, I shall
00:15:09	Don't forget, quarter of 6:00.
00:15:12	ready and packed.
00:15:17	Shall we dance?
00:15:20	You're awfully pretty, Mr. Birnam.
00:15:22	I bet you tell that
00:15:23	Why, natch.
00:15:26	- Sit down.
00:15:29	Thanks a lot, but no, thanks.
00:15:33	Him? I bet he wears arch supporters.
00:15:35	He's just an old friend of the folks.
00:15:37	Lovely gentleman.
00:15:40	He should buy you rubies and a villa
00:15:44	- Don't be ''ridic.''
00:15:46	Why imperil our friendship
00:15:50	I could make myself free
00:15:53	I'm going away for the weekend.
00:15:56	Anytime.
00:15:58	I'm just crazy about
00:16:08	Nat, weave me another.
00:16:10	- You'd better take it easy.
00:16:12	just let me know
00:16:15	Come on,join me.
00:16:18	- No, thanks.
00:16:21	Not the way you drink.
00:16:23	It shrinks my liver, doesn't it?
00:16:25	It pickles my kidneys, yes.
00:16:27	But what does it do to my mind?
00:16:30	It tosses the sandbags overboard
00:16:34	Suddenly, I'm above the ordinary.
00:16:37	I'm walking a tightrope
00:16:39	I'm one of the great ones.
00:16:41	I'm Michelangelo
00:16:44	I'm van Gogh painting pure sunlight.
00:16:46	I'm Horowitz playing
00:16:49	I'm John Barrymore before
00:16:51	I'm JesseJames and his two brothers.
00:16:54	I'm W. Shakespeare.
00:16:57	And out there,
00:16:59	It's the Nile...
00:17:02	and down it floats
00:17:06	Come here.
00:17:08	'' Purple the sails, and so perfumed
00:17:12	The oars were silver...
00:17:14	which to the tune of flutes
00:17:19	Maybe he's at Mirandi's or Nat's Bar,
00:17:23	What difference does it make?
00:17:25	- You're not really going?
00:17:27	- You can't leave him alone four days.
00:17:30	Oh, for heaven's sake.
00:17:33	I'm tied up at the office every minute
00:17:35	I can't look out for him.
00:17:38	He'll be run over by a car.
00:17:41	A cigarette might fall from his mouth,
00:17:44	If it happens it happens,
00:17:47	I've had six years of this.
00:17:51	- You can't mean that.
00:17:54	- It's terrible, I know, but I mean it.
00:17:57	Who are we fooling?
00:18:00	We've reasoned with him, babied him,
00:18:03	We've tried trusting him.
00:18:06	How often have I beaten him up?
00:18:08	Scrape him out of a gutter and pump
00:18:11	and back he falls,
00:18:16	He's a sick person.
00:18:18	It's as though something were wrong
00:18:20	You wouldn't walk out on him
00:18:24	He won't accept our help.
00:18:26	He wants to be alone
00:18:29	It's all he gives a hang about.
00:18:35	Why kid ourselves?
00:18:37	He's a hopeless alcoholic.
00:18:40	''The cloud-capped towers,
00:18:46	The solemn temples,
00:18:49	Mr. Birnam, you ought to go home.
00:18:51	''Yea, all which it inherit
00:18:53	You ought to go home
00:18:55	- Who says so?
00:18:58	- Don't you remember?
00:19:00	- Ten past 6:00.
00:19:02	What do you think I've been doing
00:19:05	Your change!
00:19:43	Taxi! Taxi!
00:19:45	I'll give you a lift
00:19:47	- No, thanks. I'm gonna wait here.
00:19:50	Because I won't give up?
00:19:53	Let go of him.
00:19:55	Good-bye, Wick.
00:22:50	I thought you was
00:22:58	What are you doing?
00:23:00	Be right with you.
00:23:02	Stop it and give me a drink.
00:23:05	Okay.
00:23:08	- Can't you hurry it up a little?
00:23:12	That young lady stopped in
00:23:16	- What young lady?
00:23:19	Yeah?
00:23:20	She acted like
00:23:22	But I know she was making
00:23:24	- What did you say?
00:23:27	That's good. I can't let her see me,
00:23:30	- Why don't you cut it short?
00:23:34	Get on the merry-go-round,
00:23:37	'Round and 'round till that
00:23:39	and the thing dies down
00:23:41	- How about you eating some of this?
00:23:44	You gotta eat something sometime.
00:23:47	just give me another drink.
00:23:49	Mr. Birnam, this is the morning.
00:23:51	That's when you need it most.
00:23:54	At night, the stuff's a drink.
00:23:57	- Okay if I eat?
00:24:04	Are you ever scared when you wake up?
00:24:08	No, not you.
00:24:11	The alarm clock goes off,
00:24:13	brush your teeth
00:24:16	You ever lie in your bed,
00:24:19	A little daylight's coming through,
00:24:22	Is it getting lighter?
00:24:24	Is it dawn or is it dusk?
00:24:27	Because if it's dawn, you're dead.
00:24:30	The bars are closed,
00:24:32	You can't last until 9:00!
00:24:35	Or it may be Sunday.
00:24:39	No liquor stores at all, and you guys
00:24:43	Because we gotta go to church
00:24:45	Yeah, when a guy needs it most.
00:24:49	What happened to those two quarts?
00:24:52	- What two quarts?
00:24:56	That's right,
00:24:59	I hid one of them.
00:25:02	I'm a capitalist.
00:25:07	If you had enough money,
00:25:09	Nat, was there a gentleman here--
00:25:12	- Didn't you go away for the weekend?
00:25:15	- Was there a gentleman asking for me?
00:25:17	He was supposed to come around 1 1 :00.
00:25:20	-Another friend of the folks?
00:25:23	A fellow called me up about him.
00:25:26	- Like Grant's tomb, for instance?
00:25:29	Ain't it amazing how many guys
00:25:35	Sometimes, I wish
00:25:37	Yeah? Where would you take me?
00:25:39	Lots of places. Music Hall,
00:25:43	There is now being presented
00:25:45	the uncut version of Hamlet.
00:25:47	I see us as setting out for that.
00:25:49	- Do you know Hamlet?
00:25:52	I would like to get your interpretation
00:25:55	I'd like to give it to you.
00:25:56	Dinner later, I think.
00:25:58	One should always see Shakespeare
00:26:01	- Not even a pretzel?
00:26:04	Why, sure.
00:26:07	- This is Nat's bar, isn't it?
00:26:10	I'm looking for a young lady,
00:26:17	- Are you Miss Gloria?
00:26:20	I just live with Gloria.
00:26:22	- She isn't?
00:26:24	Ruptured appendix,
00:26:26	Went like that.
00:26:29	Oh, that's terrible.
00:26:31	- Good-bye.
00:26:38	Could I have a word with you?
00:26:40	No, thanks.
00:26:43	- You're welcome.
00:26:55	Now, wasn't it rather rude to send that
00:26:59	When I've got a chance
00:27:01	- Don't be ''ridic.''
00:27:04	- You meant it, didn't you?
00:27:07	I've gotta get a facial, a finger wave,
00:27:09	- You're gonna call for me, aren't you?
00:27:12	- How's 8:00?
00:27:14	I live right in the corner house
00:27:16	the one with
00:27:18	- ''I got the Indian sign in me,'' I say.
00:27:20	Second floor, front.
00:27:22	Mr. Birnam,
00:27:25	- Will that be all right?
00:27:28	So long, Nat.
00:27:30	One last one.
00:27:31	Pour it softly, pour it gently
00:27:34	Look, there are a lot of bars
00:27:37	Do me a favor, will you?
00:27:39	- What's the matter?
00:27:41	- You're not gonna take her out.
00:27:43	You're drunk and just
00:27:45	- Give me a drink.
00:27:48	- I don't like what you're doing to her.
00:27:50	You should've seen her last night
00:27:52	her eyes all rainy
00:27:54	- Give me a drink!
00:27:57	- You bet she is.
00:28:00	- who sops it up like you do?
00:28:02	That nice young man who drinks
00:28:05	How did she get mixed up with him?
00:28:08	How did she get mixed up with him?
00:28:08	That's my novel.
00:28:10	I oughta start writing it
00:28:12	Morbid stuff.
00:28:15	A horror story.
00:28:16	The Confessions of a Booze Addict.:
00:28:20	Oh, come on.
00:28:24	You know what I'm gonna call my novel?
00:28:26	That's all.
00:28:31	I've got it all here in my mind.
00:28:33	Let me tell you the first chapter.
00:28:35	It all starts one wet afternoon
00:28:38	There was a matinee of La Traviata
00:28:59	Check your hat and coat, sir.
00:31:53	- Here.
00:31:55	No,just going home
00:32:05	- This isn't yours, is it?
00:32:07	- That's what is says-- 41 7.
00:32:09	- The checks must've gotten mixed up.
00:32:11	Find my coat.
00:32:14	Do you know how many plain men's
00:32:18	- About a thousand.
00:32:20	That's against regulations, sir.
00:32:21	I am not gonna wait here
00:32:23	- You can get your coat tomorrow.
00:32:26	Look, there's something in the pocket
00:32:28	Well, it so happens I found myself
00:32:32	Listen, if everybody went
00:32:34	There's regulations.
00:32:38	Then what do you suggest?
00:32:40	Wait till the other party arrives
00:32:42	I want my coat!
00:32:43	As far as I'm concerned, mister,
00:32:48	You're a great help.
00:33:36	- That's my coat you've got.
00:33:38	- They mixed up the checks.
00:33:41	- You couldn't have waited so long.
00:33:45	Do you always drop in
00:33:48	just a minute.
00:33:54	My umbrella, if you don't mind.
00:33:58	- Catch.
00:34:05	I'm terribly sorry.
00:34:07	You're the rudest person I've ever seen.
00:34:09	-Just rude, I guess.
00:34:12	- They tried, Miss St.John.
00:34:15	- St.Joseph, then.
00:34:18	First name Hilda or Helen
00:34:20	- Helen.
00:34:28	-I also know you come from Toledo, Ohio.
00:34:31	I've had three long acts
00:34:34	Initials, label.
00:34:38	Maybe I should've explored
00:34:40	- But you didn't, though?
00:34:42	Good. My name is Don Birnam.
00:34:45	How do you do?
00:34:47	- Well, how do you like New York?
00:34:50	- You intend to stay long?
00:34:53	- I live here now. I have a job.
00:34:55	- Time Magazine.
00:34:58	- Yes?
00:35:01	- Delighted. What do you do?
00:35:04	I'm a writer.
00:35:05	As a matter of fact I've started
00:35:08	In that case,
00:35:10	I have some of those--
00:35:12	Then there's one half
00:35:14	which takes place in
00:35:16	It attempts to explain why it leans and
00:35:20	- They'll love that in Toledo.
00:35:23	- Are you coming to here Lohengrin?
00:35:26	Because if you are, I'm not letting
00:35:28	- Don't worry.
00:35:30	To be really safe,
00:35:33	We could.
00:35:34	Are you in the phone book?
00:35:37	- Yes, but I'm not home very much.
00:35:41	Editorial research.
00:35:43	All right.
00:35:48	- Would you like a taxi?
00:35:50	- Very sensible.
00:35:52	I'm going to an extremely crazy party
00:35:55	If you like, I'll take you along.
00:35:58	Thank you very much,
00:36:03	- Good-bye, Mr. Birnam.
00:36:17	- Who threw that?
00:36:20	- Do you always carry those things?
00:36:22	That friend of mine uptown,
00:36:24	I thought I'd take this along
00:36:27	See that he gets hot lemonade
00:36:29	- I shall.
00:36:34	Oh, Miss St.James.
00:36:37	- Yes?
00:36:40	- A cocktail party.
00:36:43	Of course. Come on.
00:36:52	So they go to that party, he gets
00:36:55	He does not. By this time,
00:36:59	He drinks tomato juice.
00:37:02	- For two weeks, for six weeks.
00:37:06	That's what's gonna be
00:37:08	Love is the hardest thing
00:37:11	It's so simple.
00:37:14	like the early morning sunlight
00:37:16	of the rain spout
00:37:19	The ringing of a telephone that
00:37:22	A letter scribbled on her office
00:37:25	because it smells like
00:37:29	Pour it, Nat.
00:37:33	He thinks he's cured.
00:37:36	If he could only get a job,
00:37:39	But it's not, Nat.
00:37:41	Because one day, one terrible day--
00:37:44	Go on.
00:37:48	You see, this girl has been writing
00:37:51	They wanna meet the young man,
00:37:54	They stay at the Hotel Manhattan.
00:37:56	Their very first day,
00:38:00	One o'clock, lobby of the hotel.
00:38:19	That wasn't enough,
00:38:22	He gave me a shampoo, scalp massage
00:38:25	I thought they were going to tear off
00:38:29	I had a lovely morning.
00:38:32	- Didn't want to get all tired out.
00:38:34	- Now, Mother.
00:38:38	- I wonder what's keeping Helen.
00:38:41	This Birnam fellow
00:38:43	- I believe so.
00:38:46	- How old is he?
00:38:48	He has no job. As far as
00:38:51	I wish Helen wasn't so vague.
00:38:53	Maybe he has a little money.
00:38:56	- He ought to have a job anyway.
00:38:59	What did he write?
00:39:01	Father, relax.
00:39:05	I hope he realizes
00:39:07	We ought to know
00:39:09	It'll all come out--
00:39:13	his church affiliation.
00:39:54	Hotel Manhattan?
00:39:57	St.James.
00:40:14	Helen? Don.
00:40:16	I'm terribly sorry, but I won't
00:40:19	Go ahead and have your lunch
00:40:23	Oh, nothing serious.
00:40:25	Good-bye.
00:40:48	Turn off that light.
00:40:50	- Turn it off!.
00:40:56	I thought you were with Helen
00:40:59	What happened?
00:41:04	- Come on.
00:41:06	Couldn't face what?
00:41:08	Certainly I went, 1 :00 sharp.
00:41:11	I saw them, all right,
00:41:14	- How was that?
00:41:17	I couldn't face them.
00:41:19	I just couldn't do it, not cold.
00:41:22	I had to have a drink first,just one,
00:41:26	So you had another and another.
00:41:29	Won't you ever learn that with you,
00:41:31	and expecting to fall just one floor?
00:41:33	Will you call her?
00:41:35	Tell her something.
00:41:38	- Will you call?
00:41:40	She must've written them
00:41:44	What a gentleman I am,
00:41:46	- Which hotel is it?
00:41:48	Mr. and Mrs. Charles St.James
00:41:59	Get up!
00:42:11	just a minute, Helen.
00:42:24	- Hello, Wick. Is Don here?
00:42:27	- Any idea where he could be?
00:42:30	He was supposed to meet us for lunch.
00:42:33	Mother's beginning to think
00:42:36	Do you suppose
00:42:38	Nonsense.
00:42:39	But surely he'd have called back
00:42:42	- Where did he call you from?
00:42:44	I think I have an idea.
00:42:46	- Where?
00:42:48	- What's he doing there?
00:42:51	Don wrote them, wired them, and I think
00:42:57	He didn't tell me a word about it.
00:42:59	I'm not supposed to tell you either.
00:43:02	- He did?
00:43:04	He probably couldn't meet the right
00:43:07	It would be wonderful if he got the job
00:43:12	Or would it?
00:43:14	With him in Philadelphia
00:43:16	Don't ever tell him
00:43:19	- Of course not.
00:43:21	why somebody like Don,
00:43:24	such flashes of real brilliance--
00:43:26	Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced.
00:43:31	- Nothing.
00:43:34	- It just rolled out.
00:43:36	Yes.
00:43:38	You know, it's my guess
00:43:41	- Is that Don's bottle?
00:43:43	There was a bottle
00:43:46	- There was?
00:43:50	That was for me.
00:43:53	You might as well hear
00:43:57	Don thinks I drink too much.
00:43:59	I hid the bottle
00:44:01	I'm sorry.
00:44:03	I shouldn't have started
00:44:06	It's really none of my business.
00:44:08	Forget it.
00:44:10	I better be getting back
00:44:12	Don's probably there already.
00:44:14	And don't worry.
00:44:16	- Thank you.
00:44:22	I'm sorry.
00:44:26	Shut your mouth, Don.
00:44:28	Thanks very much
00:44:30	Nice try.
00:44:32	- That looks so silly on you.
00:44:35	She doesn't have to.
00:44:37	What is all this covering up?
00:44:39	Don was nervous at the idea of meeting
00:44:43	Come on. She'd have found out
00:44:46	Stop it, both of you.
00:44:49	Don's a little tight.
00:44:51	A lot of them get tight
00:44:53	Sure, the lucky ones,
00:44:55	But then there are the ones who can't
00:44:59	What I'm trying to say is,
00:45:01	I'm a drunk.
00:45:04	- He went to a cure.
00:45:07	You see, that first time we met,
00:45:09	to get drunk
00:45:11	For my sake?
00:45:14	- Is it really that bad?
00:45:17	Can't we go over this tomorrow
00:45:20	Helen's heard the facts.
00:45:23	Yes, I've heard them,
00:45:26	They could be worse. After all,
00:45:29	You drink too much,
00:45:31	One cure didn't take.
00:45:33	- Of course there are.
00:45:36	But there must be a reason
00:45:38	- The right doctor could find it.
00:45:41	I know the reason.
00:45:44	Or rather, what I'm not--
00:45:48	What is it you wanna be so much
00:45:52	A writer.
00:45:54	Silly, isn't it?
00:45:58	In college, I passed for a genius.
00:46:00	They couldn't get out the college
00:46:03	Boy, was I hot.
00:46:07	I reached my peak when I was 1 9.
00:46:09	Sold a piece to the Atlantic Monthly,
00:46:13	Who wants to stay in college
00:46:17	My mother bought me
00:46:19	I moved right in on New York.
00:46:21	Well, the first thing I wrote,
00:46:25	And the second, I dropped.
00:46:29	I started a third and a forth.
00:46:32	Only by then, somebody began
00:46:37	in a thin, clear voice
00:46:41	'' Don Birnam,'' he'd whisper.
00:46:44	''It's not good enough,
00:46:49	How about a couple of drinks,
00:46:53	So I had a couple.
00:46:57	That made all the difference.
00:46:59	The tragic sweep of the great novel,
00:47:04	But before I could really grab it
00:47:07	the drinks would wear off
00:47:09	like a mirage.
00:47:11	Then there was despair.
00:47:14	And then one to counterbalance
00:47:18	I'd sit in front of that typewriter,
00:47:21	one page that was halfway decent.
00:47:24	And that guy would pop up again.
00:47:26	What guy?
00:47:28	The other Don Birnam.
00:47:31	Don the Drunk
00:47:34	The drunk would say to the writer...
00:47:36	''Come on, you idiot. Let's get
00:47:39	Let's hock it. Let's take it
00:47:43	It's always good for ten dollars.
00:47:45	Another drink, another binge,
00:47:50	Such humorous words.
00:47:52	I've tried to break away
00:47:55	but to no good.
00:47:58	You know, once I even got myself
00:48:02	I was gonna do it
00:48:06	Here are the bullets. The gun
00:48:10	The other Don wanted us
00:48:13	He always wants us
00:48:16	The flop suicide
00:48:18	All right, maybe you're not a writer.
00:48:21	Sure, take a nice job.
00:48:23	Public accountant,
00:48:26	I haven't the guts.
00:48:28	Most men lead lives
00:48:30	- I can't take quiet desperation!
00:48:33	You have every quality for it--
00:48:36	Come on.
00:48:38	I'm 33. I'm living
00:48:41	Room and board free...
00:48:43	fifty cents a week for cigarettes...
00:48:45	an occasional ticket
00:48:48	All out of
00:48:50	And it is a big heart
00:48:52	I've only been
00:48:54	Shut up!
00:48:56	I'm not doing anything.
00:48:59	- Zero, zero, zero.
00:49:01	- We'll straighten it out.
00:49:03	Wick has the misfortune
00:49:06	You just happened
00:49:08	If you know what's good for you,
00:49:11	And walk fast,
00:49:18	Why don't you make some coffee?
00:49:21	Look, do yourself a favor.
00:49:25	Because I've got a rival?
00:49:28	You don't know me.
00:49:32	Bend down.
00:49:40	All right.
00:49:49	That was three years ago.
00:49:51	That's a long time
00:49:54	She knows she's clutching a razor blade,
00:49:57	- Three years of it.
00:50:00	- How's it come out?
00:50:03	Want me to tell you?
00:50:05	One day, a guy gets wise to himself,
00:50:08	If he's only got $1 .1 0, he goes
00:50:12	And then--
00:50:14	Or you can do it for a nickel
00:50:17	You think so?
00:50:18	What if Helen's right, and this guy
00:50:21	And that pulls him up
00:50:23	This guy?
00:50:25	Oh, shut up! I wanna do it now!
00:50:29	- Yes, Mr. Birnam.
00:50:32	I can be all alone up there
00:50:34	This time, I'm gonna do it!
00:50:36	- Maybe you will.
00:50:38	- Am I all paid up?
00:50:41	Good-bye. I'm going home.
00:50:43	This time, I've got it.
00:50:48	Good luck to you.
00:52:13	You had another bottle.
00:52:15	Where did you put it?
00:53:35	It was so beautiful, so wonderful
00:53:38	The stars above us shone
00:53:41	We were alone
00:53:44	- Check, please.
00:54:07	- Yes, sir?
00:54:10	Yes, sir.
00:55:18	Thank you.
00:55:21	- Where is your washroom?
00:55:31	How's about a carnation
00:55:33	No, thank you.
00:55:35	Thank you, sir.
00:55:37	- Wash your hands?
00:55:39	All righty, sir.
00:55:43	- Would you wipe my shoes?
00:56:04	- Carnation, sir?
00:56:07	- You did?
00:56:10	Yes, sir.
00:56:14	- Thank you.
00:56:37	- That's him! That's the man!
00:56:40	I beg your pardon?
00:56:46	You took this lady's bag,
00:56:51	- Of course.
00:56:53	No, George. It doesn't matter
00:56:56	Look in it.
00:56:58	- Ten dollars, to be exact.
00:57:01	- He's drunk.
00:57:04	- How about the check?
00:57:07	I didn't have enough.
00:57:09	Don't you show your face
00:57:12	- Take him out of here.
00:57:15	Everybody!
00:57:17	I assure you, I'm not a thief!.
01:00:00	Stop it, Helen.
01:00:04	I'm all right.
01:00:08	Please stop it!
01:01:15	You'll never make it.
01:01:17	You'll never make that hock shop.
01:02:10	- This isn't Sunday, is it?
01:02:12	- I asked, ''Is this Sunday?''
01:02:15	But it's closed.
01:02:17	Somebody passed away,
01:04:10	- What's the matter with you?
01:04:14	They're all closed,
01:04:16	- Sure they are. It's Yom Kippur.
01:04:19	- It's Yom Kippur, a Jewish holiday.
01:04:22	And what about Kelly's
01:04:24	They're closed too.
01:04:26	They keep closed on Yom Kippur,
01:04:30	That's a good joke.
01:05:12	Yeah, Mr. Birnam?
01:05:14	What do you want?
01:05:20	Let me have one, Nat.
01:05:24	I thought you was home
01:05:26	They're playing a trick on me,
01:05:31	I'll pay you when I can,
01:05:34	No credit,
01:05:37	All right. It's charity.
01:05:41	Yeah. One.
01:05:43	One's too many,
01:05:56	That's all.
01:05:59	Come on, Nat.
01:06:03	I'm no writer.
01:06:06	- Please.
01:06:07	- Please.
01:07:05	Who is it?
01:07:10	It's me.
01:07:13	Mr. Don Birnam,
01:07:16	Only, if you're coming for our date,
01:07:19	If you're coming to apologize,
01:07:22	Save your saliva. I've had enough
01:07:26	What do you think I am?
01:07:28	I buy me an evening purse,
01:07:31	You can do that to your ritzy
01:07:33	- Understand?
01:07:35	Okay, what do you want,
01:07:39	I need some money.
01:07:42	- You what?
01:07:44	Say, you out of your mind?
01:07:48	Get out of here.
01:08:00	I waited half the night, like
01:08:05	The other half I was crying.
01:08:10	- How much money?
01:08:15	I'll see.
01:08:27	You look awfully sick, Mr. Birnam.
01:08:31	I'm all right now.
01:08:34	Thank you a lot.
01:08:38	Why, natch, Gloria.
01:08:42	Gloria,
01:08:44	Coming.
01:08:47	It's a hap-hap-happy day
01:09:49	What's this place?
01:09:52	Hey, what is this place?
01:09:56	I'm talking to you.
01:10:01	Good morning, Merry Sunshine.
01:10:04	Where am I?
01:10:06	This? This is Hangover Plaza.
01:10:08	- What hospital is this?
01:10:11	- How's your head?
01:10:13	Thought you had a fracture
01:10:15	Everything in one piece.
01:10:17	Why'd they put me
01:10:19	Are you kidding? We got a peek
01:10:22	96 proof.
01:10:24	- What day is it?
01:10:26	You and the colored fellow
01:10:29	- They fell out of somebody's pants.
01:10:32	I'm a nurse, name of Nolan.
01:10:36	- Call me Bim. What's your name?
01:10:40	- What kind of Birnam?
01:10:43	- Where do you live?
01:10:46	- What do you need that for?
01:10:49	- What postcard?
01:10:51	where honey boy is and can pick
01:10:54	No address.
01:10:56	We'll get it out of the phone book
01:11:00	Look. No postcard,
01:11:03	- Nobody's gonna pick me up.
01:11:06	If we let you guys go home alone,
01:11:09	You just hit the nearest bar
01:11:12	what we call the ''quick ricochet.''
01:11:14	I'm as well as you are.
01:11:17	- Think so?
01:11:18	- Downstairs.
01:11:21	Right through there.
01:11:37	- Where do you think you're going?
01:11:40	- Got your discharge?
01:11:43	- Your release.
01:11:47	- Get back there. Go on.
01:11:54	Come here, Birnam.
01:11:58	- Is this a jail?
01:12:03	Listen, Bim. In my clothes,
01:12:05	That's all for you, if only
01:12:08	- Nothing doing.
01:12:10	Your folks might as well
01:12:12	- What are you talking about?
01:12:15	- You'll be back.
01:12:18	Listen. I can pick an alkie
01:12:21	You're an alkie.
01:12:24	Him, for instance. Shows up
01:12:28	And the one with the glasses.
01:12:32	Big executive
01:12:34	Lovely fellow.
01:12:38	Good old Prohibition days.
01:12:42	This is nothing. Back then,
01:12:45	Standing room only.
01:12:47	Prohibition: That's what
01:12:50	Now, be a good boy
01:12:52	- I don't want it.
01:12:54	Liable to be a little floor show
01:12:57	- Might get on your nerves.
01:13:00	- Ever have the D.T.'s?
01:13:02	- You will, brother.
01:13:03	Like to make a little bet?
01:13:07	Wait till you're a sophomore. That's
01:13:10	You know that stuff
01:13:13	It's little animals,
01:13:17	Midget monkeys
01:13:21	See that guy over there?
01:13:24	Come the night, he sees beetles
01:13:28	Has to be dark, though.
01:13:30	It's like the doctor
01:13:33	Delirium is a disease
01:13:36	Good night.
01:14:39	Get the restraints and the doctor!
01:15:12	Get him up
01:15:17	Over here, Doctor.
01:15:39	Violent ward.
01:17:37	- Good morning.
01:17:43	Anything wrong up there?
01:17:49	- Are you all right?
01:17:52	- Have you been there all night?
01:17:56	I suppose he stayed overnight
01:17:58	- He has friends in Long Island.
01:18:02	- I beg your pardon?
01:18:04	I know what goes on in this house.
01:18:07	I knew all about him the first week
01:18:10	Heard those bottles
01:18:13	I know all about you.
01:18:15	You're working on Time magazine,
01:18:18	I also know he's not staying
01:18:22	He's off on another toot,
01:18:25	Now, come on down,
01:18:27	I don't care for breakfast nor that
01:18:31	Which I am. I could've
01:18:34	the last when two taxi drivers
01:18:37	out cold on the floor with
01:18:40	and children leaving
01:18:41	- Please!
01:18:43	not as long as his brother
01:18:45	You couldn't help liking him anyway,
01:18:48	He had such nice manners.
01:18:51	Stop talking about him
01:18:54	Best thing for you
01:19:54	Quarter rye, quick.
01:19:55	- Okay if I take off my coat?
01:20:00	No cracks. No questions.
01:20:13	- Be 2.1 5.
01:20:16	I want it, and I'm going to get it,
01:20:19	I'm going to walk out with that
01:22:50	Miss St.James?
01:22:53	This is Mrs. Deveridge.
01:22:56	I heard him yelling.
01:23:10	Open the door. Please.
01:23:15	Don, won't you let me in? I know
01:23:20	Don, don't you hear me?
01:23:24	Don, I won't go away.
01:23:27	and get the janitor
01:23:34	Dave?
01:23:36	- Yes, Mrs. Deveridge?
01:23:39	Come on.
01:24:30	- Thank you very much.
01:24:32	- You can't go in there alone.
01:24:36	Come, Sophie. Let's go.
01:24:46	- Don, darling.
01:24:49	- I'm here to help you, darling.
01:24:53	Look at you. You want to get up,
01:25:13	You'll have a bath,
01:25:15	and you'll eat and sleep...
01:25:17	and when Wick comes back,
01:25:20	No! Don't!
01:25:22	- What's the matter?
01:25:25	- What wall?
01:25:27	- ''The mouse and the bat''?
01:25:34	- There's no hole in the wall.
01:25:36	There isn't. Don,
01:25:41	Come on, Don. Please look.
01:25:55	See?
01:26:01	Everything's going to be all right.
01:26:03	It's little animals,
01:26:10	You're not
01:26:12	You know what Nat
01:26:16	Like this...
01:26:18	or like that.
01:26:20	Like this or like that.
01:27:00	Where are you going,
01:27:22	- Give me the pawn ticket.
01:27:24	just give me the ticket.
01:27:26	I don't want you to go in and
01:27:28	You're ashamed of what
01:27:30	- It doesn't matter what I think.
01:27:32	You couldn't have taken my bracelet
01:27:35	The one that brought us together?
01:27:39	I have, Don. I assure you.
01:27:42	For three years,
01:27:44	I was the only one
01:27:46	I knew there was a core
01:27:48	And now I know
01:27:51	To soak it full, you'll do anything
01:27:54	- I asked you not to make a scene.
01:27:56	- Not now. Please.
01:27:58	You can get as drunk as you like
01:28:01	Thank you.
01:28:13	A gentleman came in a while ago.
01:28:16	- Why?
01:28:18	- It's your coat?
01:28:20	- How much did you give him?
01:28:22	- He wanted to swap it.
01:28:24	Something he hocked here
01:28:26	- What?
01:28:31	A gun.
01:28:34	Now, if you want the coat back,
01:29:35	What is it, Helen?
01:29:39	What's the matter?
01:29:44	Nothing.
01:29:46	Dave gave me the keys.
01:29:51	- What do you want here?
01:29:55	I thought I could borrow a coat
01:29:59	Sure. How about my raincoat?
01:30:07	Funny that we should wind up after
01:30:11	- I with your raincoat.
01:30:14	I always get the best
01:30:17	Good-bye, Helen.
01:30:21	- What are you looking for?
01:30:24	maybe you might
01:30:26	- Would you care to wear my derby?
01:30:29	All right.
01:30:46	- Here you are.
01:30:49	So long.
01:30:51	There was some whiskey left
01:30:55	- Was there?
01:30:58	- Don't you want a drink, Don?
01:31:04	Here it is. Right here.
01:31:08	- What are you up to?
01:31:11	I'm just ashamed of the way
01:31:13	like a narrow-minded, insensitive
01:31:16	I told you I don't feel
01:31:18	Come on, Don.Just one.
01:31:21	I'm in no hurry.
01:31:23	Helen, there are a few things I want
01:31:26	Let me stay. Please.
01:31:32	I don't want to sound rude,
01:31:36	- Here, Don.
01:31:42	Good-bye.
01:31:46	- Don't let me bend for nothing.
01:31:48	I want you to drink it. I'll get you
01:31:52	- What kind of talk is that?
01:31:59	- Who wants to be dead?
01:32:05	Give it to me!
01:32:12	All right. Now, go.
01:32:14	And don't call the neighbors.
01:32:16	I won't.
01:32:18	But could you tell me why? Why?
01:32:20	'Cause it's best for everybody:
01:32:23	- That's not true. We love you.
01:32:28	- That's a sad final word, Don.
01:32:30	This business is a formality.
01:32:33	- He died over this weekend.
01:32:36	A lot of things. Of alcohol.
01:32:39	- Of fear, shame, D.T.'s!
01:32:43	-And now you want to kill the other?
01:32:45	There were two Dons. You told me:
01:32:49	Let's not go back to a fancy figure
01:32:53	He's through.
01:32:55	I'm all right.
01:32:58	I know you have. I can see it.
01:33:01	Let me get it over. You want me to
01:33:05	I don't want your promise. I don't
01:33:07	to anybody but Don Birnam.
01:33:09	It's too late!
01:33:11	The only way to start is to stop.
01:33:15	- Can't be done.
01:33:17	People with a purpose,
01:33:19	-But you've got talent and ambition!
01:33:22	That's dead long ago.
01:33:24	That's drifting around with a
01:33:27	No, it isn't.
01:33:29	Quit trying to stall me, Helen.
01:33:31	There's no more writing left in me.
01:33:33	Yes! If I could
01:33:36	Yes! If I could
01:33:36	- Who is it?
01:33:39	- What is it, Nat?
01:33:45	- I hope I ain't intrudin'.
01:33:48	You know when you had that accident?
01:33:50	around on the Nile.
01:33:52	She writes good.
01:33:54	And I didn't oil her up
01:33:58	- I'll take it, Nat.
01:34:02	- Thank you, Nat.
01:34:09	Well, Don, here it is.
01:34:11	- Say about what?
01:34:13	Someone somewhere sent it back. Why?
01:34:16	Because he wants you to write.
01:34:19	Write with these hands
01:34:21	It'll clear up again.
01:34:23	And I'll be sitting there staring
01:34:25	No, you won't. You've forgotten
01:34:28	- What am I going to write about?
01:34:31	- Where was the page I found?
01:34:36	- What was that to be?
01:34:38	About a man and a woman
01:34:40	About nightmares, horrors,
01:34:42	all the things
01:34:44	Put it all down on paper.
01:34:46	Tell it all:
01:34:48	- And it concerns so many.
01:34:53	I'll fix us some breakfast.
01:34:56	We have quite a supply
01:35:00	You'll notice
01:35:04	You couldn't write the beginning
01:35:07	Only, now--
01:35:24	Only, now you know the ending.
01:35:29	I'm going to send one copy
01:35:31	one to the doctor
01:35:33	and one to Nat.
01:35:35	Imagine Wick
01:35:38	Great, big pyramid of books,
01:35:43	- ''That's by my brother, you know.''
01:35:46	- Didn't I always tell you?''
01:35:50	- Why not?
01:35:55	Only, my mind wasn't
01:35:57	It wasn't on the weekend.
01:35:59	Nor was it on the shirts I was
01:36:03	My mind was hanging
01:36:06	It was suspended
01:36:11	And out there in that
01:36:13	I wonder how many others
01:36:16	poor, bedeviled guys
01:36:20	such comical figures
01:36:22	as they stagger blindly
01:36:25	another bender,

Lost Weekend The
