00:00:50 She likes you.
00:00:54 You see, Melanie...
00:00:55 ... she's every bit as pretty.
00:01:08 You've been very nice.
00:01:10 Now you can have what you want.
00:01:26 Hey, you!
00:01:27 Birdboy!
00:01:42 Mrs. Angelucci said them feathers
00:02:01 I've got a great idea.
00:02:04 Let's enlist.
00:02:15 Kids got to play, honey.
00:02:17 Go tell that to your son.
00:02:29 Birdy!
00:02:31 Are you all right?
00:02:55 Switch shifts on Thursday?
00:03:00 How come they didn't
00:03:02 No, ma'am.
00:03:05 Can I have him call you?
00:03:15 That's Doctor Moore.
00:03:54 How long do I wear these things?
00:03:55 We'll take them off when you
00:03:59 Then I'll see if you got
00:04:02 Should be okay,
00:04:06 I think the graft is
00:04:09 After a while it'll start itching,
00:04:15 This ought to hold you.
00:04:17 How do you feel?
00:04:19 Like the Invisible Man.
00:04:22 Come see me when you get back, okay?
00:04:24 Sure thing.
00:04:25 Don't worry.
00:05:35 Don't stare, honey.
00:05:44 Shit, Birdy.
00:05:46 The things you put me through.
00:05:49 They always said you were weird.
00:05:52 Do you remember the time
00:06:22 Jesus Christ!
00:06:25 Way to go! Now we'll never
00:06:29 Stay out of my yard!
00:06:30 You hear?
00:06:31 We don't have another ball.
00:06:34 By not hitting it here.
00:06:37 This ain't no ballpark.
00:06:41 Why don't you do something about it?
00:06:43 Kids got to play, honey.
00:06:45 You tell that to your own boy.
00:07:03 I don't want to.
00:07:05 Come on, why not?
00:07:07 I just don't feel like it.
00:07:08 Sure you feel like it.
00:07:15 Well, if I let you...
00:07:16 ...can I wear your letter jacket?
00:07:19 Yes.
00:07:20 Hey, Al.
00:07:21 - AI!
00:07:22 He's down the street.
00:07:24 Later, Mario. Get lost.
00:07:26 Come on, you promised.
00:07:42 Hey, birdboy!
00:07:46 What's your name?
00:07:51 This is like talking to the air.
00:08:08 Got a knife I can borrow, kid?
00:08:19 This it, Mario?
00:08:20 Yeah, that's my knife.
00:08:21 You thief!
00:08:24 Back off!
00:08:26 Don't mess with my brother!
00:08:28 He's a wrestling champion!
00:08:42 Now you're in trouble!
00:08:45 It is.
00:08:47 I thought you said he stole it!
00:08:49 No! I just said he had it.
00:08:52 Jesus, Mario.
00:08:54 I bought it from Ziegenfuss.
00:08:58 Don't touch it.
00:09:00 - It's mine.
00:09:02 Here.
00:09:05 Thanks.
00:09:08 Where'd you learn all that stuff?
00:09:12 No.
00:09:13 You should.
00:09:16 You like pigeons?
00:09:18 What's to like?
00:09:19 They fly.
00:09:20 They fly. So what?
00:09:23 That's enough.
00:09:26 Come on, Al. Are we going, or what?
00:09:30 I'm training these
00:09:33 You mean with the notes,
00:09:37 I got a class. I've got to go.
00:09:40 So go.
00:09:41 Up yours!
00:09:46 Pretty ugly birds.
00:09:48 You know, if he really can train
00:09:52 - You would?
00:09:59 Wait a minute!
00:10:02 How about if I help you catch some?
00:10:24 It's funny how they do that.
00:10:26 If it hadn't happened every
00:10:29 Dumb.
00:10:30 They always come back
00:10:34 See?
00:10:35 Same exact spot every time, and just
00:10:38 - Come on.
00:10:40 Higher.
00:10:42 - We got to get up to talk to them.
00:10:46 Are we allowed up here?
00:10:48 Looks awful high to me.
00:11:17 Fuck you!
00:11:40 It worked!
00:12:24 Birdy, where are you?
00:12:29 Very funny.
00:12:32 Come the hell out.
00:12:40 What's that?
00:12:43 A pigeon suit I'm making for you.
00:12:48 This way, they'll think
00:12:52 I don't want them to think
00:12:55 Come on, just try it.
00:13:00 No way would I be caught dead in that.
00:13:12 I feel ridiculous.
00:13:13 You look terrific.
00:13:15 Come on.
00:13:16 It's over here.
00:13:32 I want to go change.
00:13:34 Not to a bird, Al.
00:14:08 That's some view.
00:14:10 Can you see the Tower Theatre?
00:14:12 That must be City Hall over there.
00:14:16 Stars, Al.
00:14:18 Look at the stars.
00:14:21 What stars?
00:14:23 We should come back
00:14:28 What are you doing?
00:14:37 Hold my legs, will you, Al?
00:14:42 You'll like this one, Al.
00:14:45 She looks like your dad.
00:14:48 I got to get a little lower.
00:14:50 Let me down a bit more.
00:14:52 Jesus, Birdy!
00:14:54 Give me a bag.
00:15:01 Fuck!
00:15:08 No! Birdy!
00:15:12 Hold on, I'll get help.
00:15:15 I can't hold on that long.
00:15:16 What's so funny?
00:15:19 You.
00:15:20 You look so serious.
00:15:21 It is fucking serious!
00:15:24 Shit!
00:15:27 Look, this isn't going to work.
00:15:30 I'll try to make it to the sand pile.
00:15:32 - What are you talking about?
00:15:34 You'll jump?
00:15:36 No, Al, I'm going to fly.
00:15:38 Don't jump!
00:15:39 Let go!
00:16:19 Birdy, are you all right?
00:16:24 Birdy, are you all right?
00:16:27 I flew, Al.
00:16:29 Sure, you flew.
00:16:30 It was beautiful.
00:16:33 It was like...
00:16:36 You look awful pale, Birdy.
00:16:38 Should I go get somebody?
00:16:40 You might have busted something inside.
00:16:43 You'll break your crazy neck
00:16:51 God, Birdy!
00:17:08 What do you think, sergeant?
00:17:11 Sir?
00:17:12 Your friend.
00:17:14 How does he look to you?
00:17:16 It's hard to say.
00:17:19 It's a simple question.
00:17:20 How does your friend look?
00:17:23 Are you his doctor?
00:17:26 Why are you asking me?
00:17:28 Obviously, because I want to hear
00:17:34 He doesn't look good.
00:17:37 For the most part.
00:17:39 Was he wounded?
00:17:40 Yes, but his wounds
00:17:42 This is not a physiological condition.
00:17:45 Then how'd he get like this?
00:17:46 All we know is that he was
00:17:50 For a while, we didn't even
00:17:52 Does he know who he is?
00:17:54 I don't know.
00:17:55 He hasn't talked since he was found.
00:17:58 So you really don't know anything.
00:18:01 I think I know a few things, sergeant.
00:18:04 It was my idea to bring you here.
00:18:07 Why am I here?
00:18:08 The patient's mother
00:18:11 ...well, of some help.
00:18:13 Frankly, I'm willing to try anything.
00:18:16 - And I'm it?
00:18:19 When I found out about
00:18:23 It seems like it might be
00:18:27 For him or for me?
00:18:29 I hope for both of you.
00:18:31 Come with me.
00:18:41 No, tuna salad, not chicken salad.
00:18:43 Lots of mayonnaise and none of those
00:18:45 Two of them.
00:18:47 Do you want anything?
00:18:49 Coffee?
00:18:50 Two coffees, cream and sugar.
00:18:54 Okay, yeah, that's it.
00:19:01 Strange, huh?
00:19:03 Jumping and twisting,
00:19:06 You sure can't blame him for that.
00:19:08 No one is, sergeant.
00:19:10 He wouldn't like being cooped up here.
00:19:13 What do you suppose impels him
00:19:18 Like what?
00:19:19 Like this...
00:19:21 ...cringing position.
00:19:23 Was there any psychological trouble
00:19:28 How close were you?
00:19:29 We was real good buddies.
00:19:32 Very close?
00:19:33 We weren't queer for one another
00:19:36 We were normal, crazy Philly kids.
00:19:38 How crazy?
00:19:39 You ever been to Philly, sir?
00:19:41 You have to be pretty crazy
00:19:47 I don't understand yet
00:19:50 You got any ideas?
00:19:55 He got drafted.
00:19:56 All wars have
00:19:59 ...and the Army takes care
00:20:01 Certainly took care of me, doctor.
00:20:03 Major, sergeant.
00:20:04 Major, sir.
00:20:06 I know that this is difficult
00:20:09 And I know it's hard for you
00:20:13 How does your face feel?
00:20:15 It's okay.
00:20:16 No problems?
00:20:19 The bandages are a little hard
00:20:22 When the doctor...
00:20:23 ...said one of the things they
00:20:27 ...I thought, "Great!
00:20:30 Maybe I'll be the next La Motta."
00:20:32 Turns out, a punch could knock
00:20:35 ...so it's worse than a glass jaw.
00:20:37 It's pretty funny, huh?
00:20:39 A lot of people wouldn't think so.
00:20:43 Sure, kind of.
00:20:46 You know what would be
00:20:48 - AI.
00:20:51 ...if you visited your friend now.
00:20:54 It's important that
00:20:58 Ronsky? Send Renaldi in here.
00:21:02 You'll like Renaldi, Alfonso.
00:21:08 What's going on here?
00:21:10 Occupational therapy.
00:21:14 Who better to sort out
00:21:17 - What do you do here?
00:21:19 Mostly I help take care
00:21:21 I take them for walks,
00:21:24 ...blow their noses,
00:21:26 ...wheel them into the TV room.
00:21:29 How'd you get that shitty job?
00:21:32 I'm a conscientious objector.
00:21:33 You're kidding.
00:21:36 An Italian conscientious objector?
00:21:38 That's right.
00:21:41 Hi, Ned. Nice day.
00:21:43 Ned's elevator doesn't go
00:21:46 Combat stress. He's quiet today.
00:21:48 Normally, he's throwing shit
00:21:52 Here he is.
00:21:57 I'll be back soon, and
00:21:59 They have you in with me.
00:22:04 Take it easy.
00:22:20 Hey, Birdy.
00:22:23 Is this for real, or what?
00:22:27 If this is some act you cooked up to
00:22:31 You can stop now.
00:22:43 Come on, Birdy.
00:22:47 It's me under all these bandages.
00:22:49 It's Al.
00:22:55 Maybe I'll get into
00:22:58 Can't you see it?
00:23:00 " Neighbourhood Boy Turned a Lunatic
00:23:05 All I'd have to do
00:23:08 ...or go beat somebody up
00:23:12 So much for that.
00:23:34 God, this place gives me the creeps.
00:23:38 It's awful quiet for a loony bin.
00:23:46 You know, they keep saying
00:23:49 I keep hearing them.
00:23:52 "Quit worrying how you look,
00:23:59 But I saw a guy at Dix
00:24:03 And he had a face like
00:24:18 I'm scared I won't recognize
00:24:26 Jesus, Birdy, what happened to you?
00:24:31 That fat-gut shrink,
00:24:35 ...by getting you to remember
00:24:38 Did we jack one another off?
00:24:43 I don't trust that guy.
00:24:45 Everything's too interesting to him.
00:24:49 So what do you want to talk about?
00:24:57 Maybe we should talk about
00:25:00 ...we tried to find where your mother
00:25:10 Okay, you don't like that one.
00:25:20 Remember that statue of Billy Penn
00:25:24 How, from certain angles,
00:25:27 And how we used to stand there
00:25:31 Every time some old lady would walk by,
00:25:34 They'd look up, and they'd see
00:25:43 Shit!
00:25:44 Do you need a hand?
00:25:47 What are you doing here?
00:25:48 I'm his friend.
00:25:51 Right!
00:25:54 Now I remember.
00:25:58 - What's your name?
00:26:01 You know, I'm not in the Army.
00:26:03 You can tell me your name
00:26:07 I'm Hannah.
00:26:08 He eats that?
00:26:10 Looks horrible, doesn't it?
00:26:14 You have to feed him?
00:26:16 Can't he feed himself?
00:26:18 I don't know.
00:26:20 He doesn't.
00:26:22 He won't let the orderlies feed him.
00:26:24 For some reason, he lets me.
00:26:26 Shit, maybe I'll stop talking.
00:26:30 I like your friend.
00:26:31 But I wish he wouldn't do this.
00:26:37 Listen, I'm going to go.
00:26:39 You can stay if you want.
00:26:41 That's all right.
00:26:44 Okay, hang on. I'll unlock you.
00:27:08 Hi there.
00:27:17 Tell me where it hurts.
00:27:37 My buddy's broken his leg.
00:27:40 Maybe his back.
00:27:42 I hope not his back,
00:27:46 He's a little crazy.
00:27:50 He thinks he's a bird.
00:28:17 It's all here, the whole thing,
00:28:21 There's a picture showing where he
00:28:26 I don't want to hear any more!
00:28:30 You can start now...
00:28:31 ...by cleaning the pigeon shit
00:28:39 Face it, we're out of
00:28:42 - They ain't coming back.
00:28:45 What kind of home is it when
00:28:49 ...and chases the birds away?
00:28:51 It's home to them.
00:28:52 It's not the lumber and nails.
00:28:55 I got to tell you something.
00:28:57 But you have to promise
00:28:59 What?
00:29:00 Do you promise?
00:29:04 You're right.
00:29:06 Your mom puts down poison
00:29:09 But those blue bars get smart
00:29:12 So she calls Mr. Solari.
00:29:14 Mr. Solari, the poultry guy?
00:29:16 Yeah, the butcher.
00:29:17 That guy would dress his mother
00:29:20 ...if he got 69 cents a pound.
00:29:22 He must've taken them.
00:29:24 No, you don't get it, Al.
00:29:26 Those blue bars saw Solari.
00:29:28 That's why they didn't come back.
00:29:30 You're wrong!
00:29:32 They're dead!
00:29:35 You don't understand birds, Al.
00:29:38 I got an idea for something else
00:29:41 You know that old Ford
00:29:43 Yeah, okay.
00:29:46 It's a good thing those blue bars
00:29:49 Pigeons ain't stupid, Al!
00:30:38 Remember that statue
00:30:42 How, from certain angles,
00:31:01 If I'm going to learn,
00:31:07 Be there when they fly.
00:31:11 I want them to be
00:31:15 Nobody wants to be in a cage.
00:33:18 How are you doing back there?
00:33:20 - You okay?
00:33:55 That is some piece of shit.
00:33:58 Does it go?
00:34:00 Not yet.
00:34:02 But it will.
00:34:04 - How'd it get here?
00:34:06 - It's a piece of shit.
00:34:11 Don't use any of my tools.
00:34:13 No, sir.
00:34:15 You'll have to register that
00:34:18 How, Mr. Columbato?
00:34:20 You wait till you're old enough.
00:34:22 - Maybe I'll do it for you.
00:34:27 Fucking garbageman!
00:34:44 Come on, sister!
00:34:48 All right.
00:35:00 Well, now!
00:35:01 Top down!
00:35:04 There she goes!
00:35:06 We're doing 80 on the expressway.
00:35:08 Look for 76 and the Walt Whitman.
00:35:11 We need quarters for the toll.
00:35:13 No, I'll drive straight through.
00:35:16 It's not my fault you left
00:35:19 Yeah, you too, motherfucker!
00:35:21 Watch out!
00:35:22 That was a close one.
00:35:24 Tailspin.
00:35:34 We're just driving.
00:35:36 Where we going?
00:35:37 Where else? The ocean.
00:35:40 I've never been there.
00:35:43 You're kidding.
00:35:51 This is great!
00:35:54 Are we going to go see the boardwalk
00:36:00 Okay, just one more time,
00:36:03 On your mark.
00:36:05 Goddamn it!
00:36:09 One Mississippi, two Mississippi...
00:36:11 ...three Mississippi,
00:36:13 ...five Mississippi...
00:36:21 Ten Mississippi, Birdy!
00:36:27 Thirteen Mississippi.
00:36:28 It's a 15 Mississippi, Birdy!
00:36:31 Sixteen Mississippi!
00:36:40 I don't know how to swim!
00:36:48 Now don't go do
00:36:51 I know what's in that
00:37:28 Right down here, on this
00:37:37 Expectant mothers, the young...
00:37:39 ... go see the greatest attraction
00:37:42 See Apasha, the Gorilla Girl.
00:37:45 See her change from a woman
00:37:54 It's gross!
00:37:55 - Horrible!
00:37:58 No way, it's a gyp.
00:38:00 - It's a false bottom.
00:38:02 Introducing Zimmy, the human fish.
00:38:05 Folks, let's hear it for Zimmy.
00:38:12 - How does he do it?
00:38:14 Hold his breath so long.
00:38:18 We've been here four minutes.
00:38:21 Think he has a wife?
00:38:27 You okay?
00:38:34 I can hold my breath
00:38:39 Do you want to try?
00:38:50 You play sports?
00:38:52 Of course not.
00:38:54 Al and I throw the discus sometimes.
00:38:56 So you play on a team?
00:39:00 We just throw it
00:39:04 Al used to be on a team.
00:39:06 He used to be a wrestling champ.
00:39:17 Are you guys finished yet?
00:39:20 I'm leaving!
00:39:21 I ain't hanging around with
00:39:33 Why do you always do this?
00:39:35 You stuck me with...
00:39:36 Shut up!
00:39:38 What are you going to do now?
00:39:40 Fuck it!
00:39:45 What?
00:39:46 You have got to learn...
00:39:48 ...to be more sociable!
00:39:51 I don't think she liked me.
00:39:53 You got to make them like you.
00:39:55 Talk like you're interested
00:39:58 You just got to talk more.
00:40:00 I don't care about what,
00:40:04 What if that's what
00:40:06 That's the first thing you got to
00:40:10 Never let them know
00:40:12 I'm not thinking about them.
00:40:14 Then just lie, for God sakes!
00:40:16 You're the best
00:40:20 Don't you know your chick
00:40:24 I don't understand.
00:40:27 - They're just overgrown mammary glands.
00:40:30 Mammary glands?
00:40:35 We're talking tits here!
00:40:37 Big tits!
00:40:38 Round tits.
00:40:40 Fleshy tits.
00:40:41 - Just a lot of dumb development to me.
00:40:43 Women carry them around
00:40:46 - Flopping around, getting in the way.
00:40:49 They're needed.
00:40:51 I seen a picture in
00:40:55 Just like on a cow,
00:40:57 It's not like a cow at all.
00:40:59 I'm telling you for your own good.
00:41:00 You don't know what you're missing.
00:41:04 That girl, Shirley...
00:41:06 ...I didn't even have to ask her.
00:41:08 She just lifted her shirt
00:41:11 And then she undoes her bra for me.
00:41:14 I start feeling the whole tit,
00:41:17 She's poking her tongue down my throat.
00:41:20 And then, I'm reaching down
00:41:22 I'm working my way down.
00:41:24 - That your '53 Ford back there?
00:41:39 Could you stop walking around?
00:41:41 I cannot stand this much longer.
00:41:45 I hope your old man comes soon.
00:41:47 Well, I don't.
00:41:57 Hi, Dad.
00:41:59 Hi, Mom.
00:42:55 Ever wonder what our lives down here
00:42:59 You two shut up!
00:43:06 Fucking fuck!
00:43:14 - Good luck.
00:43:41 Hi, Al. How are you?
00:43:43 I'm pretty good, Birdy, thanks.
00:43:46 You know, Al...
00:43:48 ...l'm glad you came to see me.
00:43:50 We haven't seen each other
00:43:52 ...and there's a lot of water
00:43:55 But it's good just to sit here
00:43:58 Yeah, it's a real blast.
00:44:01 Come on, Birdy!
00:44:04 Talk to me.
00:44:08 Okay, don't talk to me.
00:44:12 You think I don't know
00:44:14 ...with this squatting
00:44:18 So you're finally a bird.
00:44:22 If Weiss finds out, he'll put
00:44:25 ...and write papers on you forever.
00:45:11 Damn cats are driving me crazy!
00:45:13 I'll get a BB gun and pop them off.
00:45:15 They'll give the birds a heart attack,
00:45:19 Let's get this door closed
00:45:23 That's it.
00:45:25 You know my mother.
00:45:27 And that's Mr. Tate.
00:45:29 He's deaf.
00:45:31 He loves the birds singing,
00:45:33 I said you're like Beethoven.
00:45:43 You like that one, huh?
00:45:45 She's a good-looker, all right.
00:45:47 But don't go for flyers when
00:45:53 Come on, honey.
00:45:55 Come here.
00:45:58 Don't you want to eat?
00:46:00 She's a pretty one,
00:46:03 She's a heartbreaker.
00:46:06 Rhett and Ashley can't get near her.
00:46:08 It sure ain't like in the movie.
00:46:11 I don't let them mate
00:46:14 No brothers and sisters.
00:46:15 It ain't right.
00:46:18 Mr. Tate...
00:46:20 ...lets them all in together,
00:46:22 Ain't natural.
00:46:26 Here's Melanie.
00:46:28 Come here, Melanie.
00:46:29 The first day I saw Perta...
00:46:31 ... I knew she was special.
00:46:34 The way she took to the air...
00:46:36 ... like it was hers.
00:46:44 She likes you.
00:46:46 Don't get taken in
00:46:48 Melanie here, she's a darling bird.
00:46:52 No, I'll take this one.
00:46:58 You can't do anything about it.
00:47:00 He sold it before he ever
00:47:02 At least we got
00:47:05 I'll give you my share.
00:47:08 I don't care about the money.
00:47:10 It's the principle of the thing.
00:47:11 The only principle is my old man
00:47:14 Do you want me to pin him?
00:47:17 We're going to get it back.
00:47:18 Are you crazy? Suicidal?
00:47:21 He'll break your neck.
00:47:23 I don't care.
00:47:24 It's our car.
00:47:25 You can't do this.
00:47:27 I tell you, he'll kill you!
00:47:29 Jesus, sometimes you're
00:47:31 All right, but you're on your own.
00:47:33 I'm not going with you.
00:47:35 I don't want blood
00:47:40 Shit!
00:47:44 - I want the car back.
00:47:47 - You got your money!
00:47:49 It's worth more than the money!
00:47:51 It belongs to us.
00:47:53 That car was in my name.
00:47:56 Would you get out of here?
00:47:59 Tell me the man's name
00:48:02 Get out of here. I'll call the cops!
00:48:04 I was about to do that myself!
00:48:08 Are you calling me
00:48:11 Are you crazy?!
00:48:12 Are you trying to say
00:48:15 Don't embarrass me
00:48:18 You sold something that wasn't yours!
00:48:20 Give me the man's name
00:48:22 I'll tell him you made a mistake!
00:48:24 I sold the car to a friend
00:48:27 This guy is not
00:48:30 You mess around with him and you'll
00:48:33 ...at the bottom of the river!
00:48:35 I don't want to go to the police...
00:48:37 ...but I got a receipt of purchase
00:48:40 ...at the junkyard!
00:48:41 You think it's yours
00:48:44 It's legally ours because
00:48:47 Why do you want to be a hard-nose for?
00:48:50 I can't get you the car back...
00:48:52 ...even if I wanted to!
00:48:54 Shut up, you skinny bucket of piss!
00:48:58 You're not worth going
00:49:00 Here's what I'll do.
00:49:01 - Here's the money.
00:49:03 - That's all I got...
00:49:05 Shut the fuck up!
00:49:07 He's going to take it.
00:49:09 Read your paper, honey. Please.
00:49:12 You'll take the money.
00:49:14 I'll get you more from
00:49:17 Don't make no trouble.
00:49:22 Here.
00:49:24 Half of it's yours.
00:49:26 It was our car, Al.
00:49:30 I could never stand up
00:49:33 Maybe life is shitty.
00:49:36 It is shitty.
00:49:40 I'll tell you something.
00:49:43 I'm not trying to pin life anymore.
00:49:46 I don't even fucking understand it.
00:49:49 I just want to make it through with
00:49:55 Of course, if there was any real
00:50:01 I'm going to go now, all right?
00:50:13 All right?
00:50:19 But I'll be back.
00:50:33 Renaldi!
00:50:38 Let me out! Let me out!
00:51:30 You okay, Al?
00:51:31 You were moaning as if in pain.
00:51:35 - You won't tell anyone about this?
00:51:45 No, sir, not yet.
00:51:47 Yeah, he's here right now.
00:51:51 His file came in this morning.
00:51:56 Would you come over here, please?
00:52:15 Is your serial number
00:52:22 It's 003. Why?
00:52:24 I want to get it right.
00:52:28 It's C-O-L-U-M-B-A-T-O,
00:52:34 What is this?
00:52:37 The major wants some more
00:52:41 What do you got, my file?
00:52:44 Everything about you.
00:52:58 There we go.
00:53:04 Is there any history of insanity
00:53:07 No.
00:53:08 Why are you asking me?
00:53:10 Suicides?
00:53:11 What?
00:53:12 Any suicides?
00:53:14 Not yet.
00:53:20 Finish that later.
00:53:23 Come on in.
00:53:36 Excuse me, Major.
00:53:37 Is something wrong
00:53:41 Oh, you mean the spitting.
00:53:42 Ever since combat,
00:53:46 Don't worry. We're working on him.
00:53:53 Why was he asking me
00:53:56 I'm not a patient here.
00:53:57 I like to know who I'm dealing with.
00:54:01 How do you think
00:54:03 Not bad. Okay, I guess.
00:54:07 It says you attacked
00:54:09 ...just after you arrived in Saigon.
00:54:12 We were in a bar.
00:54:14 I just hit him.
00:54:16 You knocked out four teeth
00:54:18 I hit him hard.
00:54:20 - You think you might have overreacted?
00:54:23 Sir, we all make mistakes.
00:54:25 But it's important to learn
00:54:29 Shouldn't we be talking
00:54:34 Whose idea was it to steal that car?
00:54:37 Steal a car?
00:54:39 I believe it was in Atlantic City.
00:54:41 Oh, that!
00:54:43 That was a misunderstanding.
00:54:44 My father had it registered
00:54:47 We were having a good time, you know.
00:54:49 Is that how your father saw it?
00:54:52 No, not exactly.
00:54:53 What did he do?
00:54:56 He took away my allowance.
00:54:57 Listen, you wise guy.
00:54:58 I've got better things to do
00:55:01 I should probably
00:55:03 You don't have to do that, sir.
00:55:05 Maybe you haven't noticed...
00:55:07 ...what happens to men like your friend,
00:55:11 What do you mean?
00:55:12 They stay here for
00:55:14 They rot.
00:55:17 I'm sure I can get through to him.
00:55:23 All right, sergeant.
00:55:26 This is not an
00:55:29 You can go.
00:55:33 One more thing.
00:55:36 Did you or your friend
00:55:39 ...for that misunderstanding
00:55:42 No, sir.
00:55:43 We both really liked my father.
00:55:45 He was a heck of a guy.
00:56:10 Not so bad, right?
00:56:15 Oh, shit! I should be done
00:56:18 Would you feed him
00:56:20 - Sure.
00:56:22 Take this.
00:56:23 I'll be right back.
00:56:29 I saw that cockeyed look of yours.
00:56:31 That look always means something.
00:56:34 You think I was hitting on her,
00:56:36 You think maybe she likes me?
00:56:40 You really got to quit it
00:56:43 I got to get out of here.
00:56:45 That shrink gives me the eye
00:56:48 It's not a great feeling.
00:56:49 Not that it ever
00:56:53 Come on, Birdy, eat it.
00:56:56 If you could see yourself
00:56:59 ...and me shovelling
00:57:01 ...you'd probably laugh
00:57:06 What?
00:57:09 I won't have another
00:57:13 Decide if you're listening or not.
00:57:20 We'll do it your way.
00:57:23 We'll sit here and commune
00:00:09 Come here.
00:00:14 How do you do that?
00:00:22 Your mother said enough for tonight.
00:00:26 I'm working on my ornithop...
00:00:28 Come on, enough's enough!
00:00:31 Tell him.
00:00:33 Come on, son.
00:00:34 Leave the bird alone.
00:00:40 Then the bird's feather.
00:00:42 It has a hollow shaft, with
00:00:46 On either side are branches, barbs...
00:00:49 ...which branch into barbules...
00:00:51 ...which have little barbicels
00:00:54 It can all be pulled apart,
00:01:00 And then re-zipped.
00:01:02 A bird runs its beak
00:01:04 ...re-zipping feathers
00:01:07 Flying is much more than flapping wings.
00:01:09 A bird can flap its wings
00:01:12 When it wants to fly...
00:01:13 ...the slightest flicker
00:01:18 You must feel that air has substance
00:01:22 It's mostly a matter of confidence.
00:01:39 Fuck them.
00:01:42 Did you notice Doris Robinson
00:01:45 She must be hot for
00:01:47 - You ought to ask her out.
00:01:50 I can't afford to take her out.
00:01:52 It doesn't cost anything.
00:01:54 You think Cheryl's charging me for it?
00:01:57 I'll go to the cafeteria.
00:01:59 I want to go down and talk to my dad.
00:02:13 Dad?
00:02:17 Dad!
00:02:18 I'm in here.
00:02:21 Come on in.
00:02:27 You had lunch yet?
00:02:29 - I'm not hungry.
00:02:31 Grab a sandwich and sit down.
00:02:34 Dad...
00:02:35 ...I want to ask you a question.
00:02:37 Shoot.
00:02:39 I want another canary,
00:02:42 Maybe you can talk to Mom.
00:02:43 I don't know.
00:02:46 I had a heck of a time getting her
00:02:50 She's worried...
00:02:51 ...about what it's costing
00:02:54 ...the lumber and whatnot.
00:02:55 The birdseed's cheap.
00:02:57 - AI and I swipe the lumber.
00:03:00 She's convinced
00:03:03 I know.
00:03:05 Don't think your mom
00:03:07 She's concerned that you develop
00:03:10 ...that'll help you fit in.
00:03:12 Fit into what?
00:03:14 Whatever. You know, life.
00:03:16 She thinks I won't fit
00:03:19 It's not that.
00:03:22 Take me.
00:03:23 I've always had an interest in wicker.
00:03:26 When I met your mom,
00:03:29 ...than any man in Philadelphia.
00:03:31 I still could, if anybody wanted one.
00:03:33 But nobody cares about wicker anymore.
00:03:36 So I don't fit into
00:03:39 You see what I'm saying?
00:03:40 Your mother just wants you
00:03:44 Every parent wants that.
00:03:46 I'm just saying you should be
00:03:53 It's hard to be good
00:03:59 You really want this, don't you?
00:04:06 I'll talk with your mom.
00:04:20 Don't worry, I won't let him out
00:04:27 I think he's mostly bluff.
00:04:34 How you doing?
00:04:36 You got another one!
00:04:39 - His name's Alfonso.
00:04:42 He likes to fight and show off a lot.
00:04:44 You named him after me.
00:04:46 - It's not really his real name.
00:04:50 I don't know.
00:05:01 Fuck!
00:05:05 This is getting weird.
00:05:09 Didn't I tell you to stop that?
00:05:11 I told you, Mom.
00:05:13 I don't know.
00:05:15 She's calling you crazy.
00:05:17 Ask her what she's been doing
00:05:22 I think she buries them.
00:05:25 I think she burns them.
00:05:28 Yeah, probably.
00:05:35 How long?
00:05:36 Same.
00:05:37 An hour.
00:05:38 I'm up to 10 pounds.
00:05:40 With that and all the weight you lost,
00:05:44 Do you realize that's 40 pounds
00:05:49 You won't fly any more than I could.
00:05:51 You couldn't fly because
00:06:07 It's a snake!
00:06:10 Damn snake!
00:06:14 Got its whole foot in its mouth.
00:06:23 It must have been two feet long.
00:06:25 - I think it was a rat snake.
00:06:29 - It was that long!
00:06:33 Are we getting started or what?
00:06:36 Patience, Al.
00:06:39 This place is a garbage dump.
00:06:41 Four, five, six...
00:06:43 It smells.
00:06:44 Nine, ten, eleven...
00:06:46 You sure this is going to work?
00:06:48 Sixteen.
00:06:50 Stop at the edge. I don't want you
00:06:53 How about you?
00:06:55 I've been practising off my roof.
00:06:56 I can fall 20 feet
00:06:59 That's got to be
00:07:02 It's all a matter of weight
00:07:05 At my weight,
00:07:07 ...my downward velocity
00:07:11 What does that mean?
00:07:12 The worst thing that can happen
00:07:16 It won't happen.
00:07:19 How do I look?
00:07:20 Dumb.
00:07:23 Ready.
00:07:31 Faster!
00:07:32 Faster!
00:07:55 Birdy!
00:07:56 I'm coming!
00:07:57 Just hold on!
00:08:03 Are you okay?
00:08:06 Yeah.
00:08:08 Are you?
00:08:09 Sure.
00:08:11 I don't know what happened.
00:08:14 ...fell out of the sky.
00:08:18 Gesundheit.
00:08:27 How come every time
00:08:30 ...I ended up getting sick?
00:08:35 You thought that was funny, huh?
00:08:39 Who are you supposed to be,
00:08:44 That is a smile, isn't it?
00:08:50 " Dissociative behaviour"?
00:08:52 - A smile's a smile.
00:08:55 It might be an involuntary manifestation
00:08:59 To be significant,
00:09:01 He was reacting.
00:09:02 To what?
00:09:04 - The joke.
00:09:07 I always got sick when he was hurt.
00:09:09 Do you think he smiled at that?
00:09:11 It's a private joke.
00:09:13 Why don't you explain it to me?
00:09:15 I don't know if I can.
00:09:19 I wish this gave me hope,
00:09:22 He's more responsive to drug therapy...
00:09:24 Yeah, right!
00:09:25 You pump him up so full of shit,
00:09:29 Who do you think you are?
00:09:30 I'm his doctor
00:09:33 I am familiar with your
00:09:37 And I don't care to see them here!
00:09:41 Why do you think it's difficult for you
00:09:45 It's not.
00:09:46 Then why do they keep recurring?
00:09:50 Look...
00:09:52 ...l'm sorry.
00:09:53 I'm frustrated.
00:09:54 I just want to help my friend.
00:09:56 I don't think you can anymore.
00:09:58 I can. I know it.
00:09:59 Sorry, I don't see any point to this.
00:10:02 It's time you return to Fort Dix.
00:10:04 It's time for your bandages to come off.
00:10:07 Excuse me.
00:10:09 Ronsky, see Sergeant Columbato out,
00:10:20 You wanted me to remember something
00:10:24 Well, there is one thing.
00:10:26 It sounds a little crazy, but...
00:10:28 He lived just over the field fence
00:10:31 When anyone hit a homer,
00:10:34 She wouldn't give them up.
00:10:36 It's almost like
00:10:39 He was always apologizing to somebody,
00:10:43 It was an obsession.
00:10:46 We figured maybe she buried them.
00:10:48 He never found them.
00:10:51 ...if she sends them here,
00:10:54 How long ago was this?
00:10:55 All through high school, sir.
00:10:57 There must be a lot of baseballs
00:11:01 I'll extend your visit till
00:11:04 - I hope this works.
00:11:33 - How's it going?
00:11:34 - Just shooting some hoops.
00:12:15 Funny, any other war,
00:12:21 Oh, man!
00:12:23 We didn't know what we were getting
00:12:34 Boy, were we dumb!
00:12:41 We were always dumb.
00:12:43 Before the government, it was
00:12:51 Remember with Sagessa and the dogs?
00:13:06 Somebody buys a cute puppy
00:13:09 Once they find out how much it eats
00:13:13 Soon you got packs of wild dogs,
00:13:17 - People want to shoot them.
00:13:20 If I tell you that, you don't need me.
00:13:22 You forget my dollar-a-dog proposition.
00:13:26 This ain't like you, Sagessa.
00:13:28 Since when were you out to make
00:13:30 You never heard of
00:13:33 The way I got it figured...
00:13:34 ...we're doing a good deed
00:13:40 There's one!
00:13:53 These dogs can really bite.
00:13:56 There she is! Watch this.
00:14:00 Go slow.
00:14:06 Okay, watch me now.
00:14:08 Slow and dangerous.
00:14:11 You got to let them know who you are.
00:14:21 Okay now.
00:14:22 Watch me.
00:14:28 Shit!
00:14:29 Dollar a dog.
00:14:32 All right, we got them now.
00:14:34 I'll take this mean one.
00:14:44 Damn it!
00:15:05 Shit!
00:15:14 Lift him up!
00:15:20 Grab that one.
00:15:38 Where we going?
00:15:39 That's my department. Do you want
00:15:43 I just thought this was some...
00:15:45 You sons of bitches!
00:15:47 My dog is in the goddamn truck!
00:15:51 He's crazy!
00:15:58 You got my dog!
00:16:05 What's your problem?
00:16:07 You got my dog in the back
00:16:10 If it's his dog, you should stop
00:16:13 - Bullshit, we're almost there.
00:16:44 Jesus!
00:16:46 What is this place?
00:16:51 I've never seen so many flies.
00:16:57 What's going on here?
00:16:58 They're electrocuting them, morons!
00:17:02 Are they electrocuting these dogs?
00:17:04 It's humane, ain't it?
00:17:06 Hit them over the head?
00:17:09 Get off my truck!
00:17:14 - What the fuck is going on here?!
00:17:17 They're killing them
00:17:19 Dogs got to eat too.
00:17:21 Chico, come here!
00:17:22 Run, Birdy!
00:17:53 What is it?
00:17:58 The cat.
00:18:11 I'm starting to worry I'll never fly
00:18:19 As scary as a bird's life must be...
00:18:21 ... at least they have that.
00:18:24 They can always fly away.
00:18:54 Do you know them damn birds
00:19:01 Mrs. Angelucci said them feathers
00:20:21 Time's running out.
00:20:26 I'm going to get you to talk,
00:20:30 I'm not kidding around.
00:20:32 I almost told him
00:20:35 Goddamn it!
00:20:37 You want to fly?
00:20:39 He'll send you air freight
00:20:42 He'll probably send me too!
00:20:44 We'll have perches, cups,
00:20:46 Maybe your mom can dig up
00:20:48 Weiss can sell you to a sideshow!
00:20:51 You can double bill
00:20:55 All right, Birdy.
00:20:57 It's time to start
00:20:59 I don't believe it, you know.
00:21:01 If you want to spend your life
00:21:05 Look at you.
00:21:07 You don't really sit like one.
00:21:09 And you sure as hell
00:21:12 If you don't like what I'm saying,
00:21:16 You always were hard to hurt, Birdy.
00:21:19 Real losers never hurt.
00:21:24 Here you go!
00:21:27 You like that, don't you?
00:21:29 - What are you doing?
00:21:32 It's fun, watching him be fed.
00:21:35 Stop taunting him.
00:21:36 He's reacting to me!
00:21:38 He's giving me that look.
00:21:40 Stop it! It isn't working.
00:21:42 - How do you know?
00:21:44 You fucked it up!
00:21:46 I work here.
00:21:48 Yeah? Well, he's
00:21:55 Come on. Look up.
00:21:57 Look up. Open your eyes.
00:22:42 Can I talk to you?
00:22:51 Back there...
00:22:53 ...I didn't mean to
00:22:58 I know he means a lot to you.
00:23:05 It's all right.
00:23:30 What?
00:23:31 I'm sorry.
00:23:33 - I didn't mean to do that to you.
00:23:36 I haven't touched
00:23:38 Al, it's all right.
00:23:41 Really.
00:23:43 I got to go.
00:24:29 Come here.
00:24:31 What do you want?
00:24:35 You want to go outside?
00:24:40 Want to go outside
00:24:48 You going to give me a kiss?
00:24:53 In a dream...
00:24:55 ... I'm trying to decide what I am.
00:24:59 When I sleep,
00:25:02 I'm reaching for the force to fly.
00:25:06 Perta waits...
00:25:08 ... cups herself to receive me.
00:25:11 I hover...
00:25:12 ... then lower myself into her.
00:25:15 Perta and I become one.
00:25:18 I see through her eyes.
00:25:20 Fly on her wings.
00:25:24 I am no longer alone.
00:26:07 It occurs to me...
00:26:08 ... that all I did was
00:26:11 Food and water and nothing else,
00:26:16 I know this is perfectly natural.
00:26:19 It's one of the things
00:26:21 But to see it happen
00:26:24 ... under my own eyes...
00:26:26 ... is magic.
00:26:30 All I want to do now
00:26:35 I don't care about the things
00:26:39 I feel turned upside down.
00:26:58 Somehow the babies seem to know
00:27:02 It must be the knowing...
00:27:04 ... not the flapping of wings.
00:27:30 Are you sleeping or what?
00:27:31 Doris is on the phone.
00:27:36 Don't give me that look.
00:27:38 ...if you don't go to the prom
00:27:41 ...l'm getting rid of these birds!
00:29:06 - Hi, Dad.
00:29:08 Kind of a mess in here,
00:29:10 Can't hold their liquor.
00:29:14 I was looking for you.
00:29:16 I didn't want to embarrass you
00:29:19 You wouldn't embarrass me.
00:29:21 I wanted to give you this,
00:29:25 Your girl there is real pretty.
00:29:29 She's not really my girl.
00:29:32 Thanks.
00:29:55 Well, here we are.
00:29:59 I'd like to keep it as a souvenir.
00:30:07 I know you didn't want to take me.
00:30:11 You've been very nice about it...
00:30:13 ...and now you can have
00:30:24 I'm sorry.
00:30:27 What?
00:30:30 I'm not very good at this.
00:30:31 It's okay.
00:30:33 It doesn't matter.
00:30:37 How do they do it?
00:30:40 I don't know.
00:30:45 We should go.
00:30:52 Will I see you again?
00:30:56 I'll see you in school on Monday.
00:33:09 The dream is as real to me now
00:33:14 I don't know where one begins...
00:33:15 ... and the other ends.
00:33:18 I wish I could tell Al.
00:33:20 But I'm afraid to.
00:33:24 In my dreams...
00:33:26 ... nothing holds me down.
00:33:28 Everything is out and away.
00:33:33 There's nothing in my life
00:33:37 I wish I could die
00:36:07 Here you go.
00:36:18 Come on, go ahead.
00:36:21 I'm sorry about before.
00:36:26 You got to eat.
00:36:31 I'll just leave it here for you.
00:36:44 You got to come back, Birdy.
00:37:28 Help! Help!
00:37:30 Medics! Smitty's been hit.
00:37:32 He's been hit!
00:38:13 Jesus, Birdy!
00:38:14 I'm losing it.
00:39:04 Here comes Santa Claus
00:39:06 Right down Santa Claus Lane
00:39:10 - What's this?
00:39:12 - His mother sent it to you.
00:39:14 No, it couldn't be!
00:39:16 I don't believe this!
00:39:17 Okay, I got you now.
00:39:20 Just wait till you see this.
00:39:22 Direct from their endless
00:39:25 You thought you'd never see them,
00:39:29 It's the baseballs!
00:39:31 Your mom sent them.
00:39:34 Come on!
00:39:36 This is your last chance!
00:39:38 You got to give me
00:39:42 Come on!
00:39:43 I need you!
00:39:48 If Weiss gets a look inside my head,
00:39:54 I'm scared, Birdy.
00:39:56 I'm more scared now
00:39:58 ...and I was more scared there
00:40:07 Talk to me again.
00:40:13 Hey, Birdy, where are you?
00:40:15 Oh, no!
00:40:18 Well, now!
00:40:21 What happened to you?
00:40:23 You get so hot with Doris,
00:40:28 If your old lady saw you like this,
00:40:33 Okay, lover-boy!
00:40:35 Tell me about Doris,
00:40:38 There's nothing to tell.
00:40:39 Don't give me this
00:40:41 I want to hear about last night.
00:40:44 I'm not sure I can explain it to you.
00:40:46 I knew it!
00:40:48 Tell me what happened.
00:40:50 Not with her. With me.
00:40:53 Last night I flew.
00:40:54 I know what
00:40:56 Oh, you flew?
00:40:59 I'm not sure.
00:41:01 It's not something you can
00:41:06 When I fly, it's like in a dream.
00:41:09 Only it's not a dream.
00:41:12 You can't put it into words.
00:41:16 You can fly like a bird?
00:41:20 When I fly...
00:41:22 ...I am a bird.
00:41:25 This is getting too weird.
00:41:29 I thought you would understand.
00:41:31 Well, I don't.
00:41:33 - I don't want to hear about it.
00:41:35 Because I'm tired of it!
00:41:39 We used to have fun together.
00:41:41 Now you're always off by yourself...
00:41:42 ...flying around inside
00:41:46 I hope this dream,
00:41:50 I think it's bullshit.
00:42:04 I shouldn't have said that.
00:42:07 I shouldn't have left you then.
00:42:18 It's working.
00:42:22 I'm not blind.
00:42:24 I'm sorry the baseballs didn't work.
00:42:26 There's no sense
00:42:28 His condition is deteriorating.
00:42:30 He hardly moves anymore.
00:42:32 We'll have to put him on an IV.
00:42:34 - I could stay and...
00:42:37 There's nothing to keep you
00:42:40 I just want to say goodbye.
00:42:42 Go ahead.
00:42:44 Alone.
00:42:46 I'll see you in my office afterwards.
00:43:08 Perta! Come back!
00:47:10 Don't worry.
00:47:13 I'm not leaving you again.
00:47:38 You all right?
00:47:41 Doctor Weiss asked me
00:47:44 I'm not leaving him.
00:47:47 - They're not going to let you stay.
00:47:50 Don't you have to go back
00:47:52 I'm not going back.
00:48:01 Come outside and we can talk.
00:48:03 I don't want to talk.
00:48:04 That's all I've done
00:48:07 Besides, nobody listens to anybody
00:48:11 You go tell Weiss
00:48:15 Tell him!
00:48:21 Don't worry, they can't
00:48:26 I can't go out there.
00:48:29 I couldn't make it.
00:48:33 They got the best of us, Birdy.
00:48:37 We're both totally screwed up.
00:48:42 We haven't had anything to do
00:48:51 I was always so damned sure...
00:48:53 ...about being myself...
00:48:55 ...and how nobody was going to
00:49:00 And now, here I am.
00:49:03 They finish you off with a discharge
00:49:08 It doesn't matter
00:49:12 I feel like one of those dogs
00:49:19 You know, when that shell
00:49:24 ...I could smell burning flesh.
00:49:27 And it was crazy...
00:49:30 ...because the smell was so sweet...
00:49:33 ...so familiar.
00:49:37 Then I realized that it was
00:49:43 And I couldn't even touch the pain.
00:49:49 I don't even know
00:49:53 I don't know if it's me
00:49:55 ...or what some Army meat-cutter
00:49:59 I don't want a patched-up,
00:50:06 I just want it to be Al under here.
00:50:09 Not some sewn-together freak mask.
00:50:13 Shit!
00:50:16 What's so great about
00:50:20 We'll just stay here
00:50:24 I don't have to go get
00:50:29 I figured out what you're doing.
00:50:32 You're right.
00:50:35 We should just hide out
00:50:40 And every so often...
00:50:43 ...go crazy...
00:50:45 ...and run up the wall...
00:50:47 ...and spit!
00:50:48 And throw shit at them,
00:50:53 That's what we can do.
00:50:55 That's what we can do.
00:51:00 Sometimes you're so full of shit.
00:51:04 Was that you?
00:51:08 It was!
00:51:09 You talked!
00:51:13 I can't believe it.
00:51:19 I can't believe it.
00:51:22 How come you decided to talk?
00:51:24 I didn't decide.
00:51:26 It just happened.
00:51:28 You needed me, didn't you?
00:51:30 They think we're both crazy.
00:51:32 What's going on?
00:51:33 He talked!
00:51:37 Goddamn it, talk!
00:51:38 - He talked before.
00:51:40 I'm telling the truth!
00:51:43 Don't you know
00:51:46 Goddamn it, talk!
00:51:48 Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
00:51:50 - Come on, let's go.
00:51:53 I'm staying here with him!
00:51:56 This isn't a game anymore.
00:51:59 I didn't have anything to say to him.
00:52:01 What are you, crazy?
00:52:04 We have to get out of here.
00:52:16 Come on!
00:53:08 Birdy, don't!
00:53:23 What?
