00:01:02 You want some?
00:02:03 I'm gonna kill you!
00:02:08 Where the hell have you been?
00:02:10 -Mom, come on and eat!
00:02:14 -Then why did I cook?
00:02:18 I don't know why you bother.
00:02:21 Eat, Simon.
00:02:50 God! I want to get fucked.
00:02:54 You okay?
00:02:57 See ya.
00:05:09 Get up off your knees.
00:06:01 Where do you have to go to get
00:06:18 -Say something.
00:06:21 What?
00:06:54 Kiss my ass.
00:07:03 Fucker.
00:07:13 Asshole!
00:07:44 Centuries ago,
00:07:54 -Where do you come from?
00:08:00 I go where I will
00:08:03 That's why I'm in trouble.
00:08:06 I'm sort of
00:08:09 an exilé.
00:08:11 Why are you in trouble?
00:08:14 An honest man
00:08:18 Remember that.
00:08:20 How do you know my name?
00:08:36 I am not retarded.
00:08:39 Yeah, well.
00:08:44 People...
00:08:46 I mean...
00:08:50 they think...
00:08:53 you know...
00:08:56 because...
00:09:01 I see.
00:09:04 Here.
00:09:06 Take this.
00:09:08 And...
00:09:11 this.
00:09:13 Keep them with you
00:09:16 if you feel you've got something
00:09:19 You stop
00:09:35 What are these?
00:09:39 My life's work.
00:09:43 My memoirs.
00:09:47 My confession.
00:09:54 What have you done?
00:09:59 I've been bad.
00:10:03 Repeatedly.
00:10:10 But why brag?
00:10:12 The details of my exploits
00:10:15 far more expansive
00:10:23 What is this?
00:10:27 It's a philosophy.
00:10:31 A poetics.
00:10:34 A politics, if you will.
00:10:39 A literature of protest.
00:10:42 A novel of ideas.
00:10:46 A pornographic magazine of
00:10:50 It is in the end whatever
00:10:53 And when I'm through with it
00:10:56 straight through
00:10:59 They're throwing
00:11:03 Come on,
00:11:06 No!
00:11:20 I don't want trouble.
00:11:29 Once, I forget where I was,
00:11:34 somewhere hot.
00:11:37 Dangerous location, the water was
00:11:42 A crowd of drunken motherfuckers,
00:11:45 shows up at my hotel room and
00:11:49 And I say:
00:11:54 "Listen, 'hombres'...
00:11:56 You got me outnumbered 4 to 1.
00:12:01 and not a soul in this dimly-lit
00:12:05 But one of you...
00:12:08 one of you is gonna have
00:12:13 Period.
00:12:15 Silence.
00:12:19 I repeat myself.
00:12:23 "One of you jerks, is gonna have
00:12:29 I promise. It's a small thing,
00:12:33 But I will succeed.
00:12:35 Because it's the only thing
00:12:39 So, just take a good look
00:12:43 and think it over
00:12:52 And then, what happened?
00:12:56 Well...
00:12:59 here I am...
00:13:01 still...
00:13:04 after all.
00:13:13 Did you throw up
00:13:18 They were throwing bottles
00:13:24 She's got some ex-con
00:13:28 Tattoos all over himself
00:13:33 Did you take your pills?
00:13:44 You want me
00:13:48 What's the use? She might
00:13:52 She's not always gonna have the ass
00:15:39 Good morning, Simon.
00:15:41 A glorious day, huh?
00:15:43 Can you lend me US$ 2O?
00:15:46 Thanks.
00:15:49 Where's the library
00:15:53 Down the highway about
00:15:56 Excellent. I'm polishing up the
00:16:00 and I need a
00:16:04 reference section.
00:16:12 I thought...
00:16:14 I was...
00:16:16 I wanted to...
00:16:18 maybe...
00:16:21 Can I take this?
00:16:27 I'll correct the spell.
00:19:35 -Simon, who did this to you?
00:19:39 -Who's eyes?
00:19:42 I knew I could do it.
00:19:44 You should take him home.
00:21:19 Mr. Fool, what is this?
00:21:22 -It's poetry.
00:21:24 Of course I'm sure.
00:21:27 It made my daughter sing.
00:21:30 -Keep still.
00:21:32 Fine. You do it, Simon.
00:21:35 Mom! Simon's got a broken rib
00:21:40 and he won't let me disinfect
00:21:43 -Fay, just take him to the hospital!
00:21:47 Simon Grim, you go to the hospital
00:21:55 We gotta talk.
00:21:58 What the hell were you trying
00:22:01 -Nothing.
00:22:04 -Iambic what?
00:22:07 Look, in my opinion this
00:22:12 Though your spelling is Neanderthal
00:22:16 your instincts are profound. But the
00:22:21 It can be expanded, followed-thru,
00:22:27 Are you willing
00:22:29 To really work on it, to give it
00:22:32 and discouragement, to rise up to the
00:22:35 And don't give me that wonder struck
00:22:44 It hurts to breathe.
00:22:47 Of course it does.
00:23:00 Have a drink.
00:23:40 Do you find me attractive?
00:23:44 Yes.
00:23:46 -I look young for my age, don't I?
00:23:50 How old do you think I am?
00:23:53 You look young.
00:23:55 How young?
00:23:58 I don't know. Young.
00:24:02 But how? Do I look more
00:24:14 3O.
00:24:28 Listen, you geek. After a couple of
00:24:44 Warren...
00:24:48 Bug off, Vicky.
00:24:54 "Saving America from itself."
00:24:58 -What the fuck is this?
00:25:02 and Congressman Owen Feer, the good
00:25:07 Yeah? Like what?
00:25:09 He wants to win back this
00:25:12 And restore a kind of cultural and
00:25:21 What time does your
00:25:27 Nine o'clock.
00:25:32 How about I come over
00:25:36 I don't know, Warren.
00:25:44 Come on.
00:25:46 I mean it.
00:27:08 How dare you put something like
00:27:14 -It's poetry.
00:27:19 A product of a diseased mind!
00:27:26 You see, Simon,
00:27:35 There's there...
00:27:39 T-H-E-R-E.
00:27:42 "There are the doughnuts."
00:27:48 Then there's their.
00:27:50 T-H-E-I-R.
00:27:53 Which is the possessive.
00:27:58 "It is their doughnut."
00:28:05 Then, finally...
00:28:08 there's they're.
00:28:11 T-H-E-Y, apostrophe, R-E.
00:28:15 A contraction.
00:28:19 Meaning they're.
00:28:26 "They're the doughnut people."
00:28:30 Got it?
00:28:33 If you're gonna read Wordsworth, you
00:28:38 This odoripherous tome you're so
00:28:43 And you need
00:28:46 I'll go to the library and I'll get
00:28:48 Thank you, but that's okay. I'll
00:28:51 From work?
00:28:54 Oh, yeah. Maybe not today.
00:28:58 Quit.
00:29:00 -My job?
00:29:03 Why?
00:29:05 You need time to write, Simon.
00:29:09 But I like my job.
00:29:11 A vocation like ours, Simon,
00:29:15 You can't put a fence
00:29:18 We think and feel when
00:29:20 We are the servants of our muse,
00:29:32 Can I read your confession?
00:29:35 No.
00:29:36 Not yet. Soon. We'll see.
00:29:40 -Is it almost finished?
00:29:45 avocation like ours, it's...
00:29:48 you can't put a fence around a man's
00:29:53 takes a lifetime, really.
00:29:58 It's a life's work.
00:30:02 But soon. Don't worry about it.
00:30:06 I gotta go.
00:30:09 See you.
00:30:34 What are you
00:30:40 I'm writing a poem.
00:30:56 So what? It's not so great.
00:31:04 Is that him?
00:31:09 Pardon me, Simon.
00:31:14 Look, I'm the editor of
00:31:18 One of the editors.
00:31:19 -One of the editors. And we...
00:31:22 I...
00:31:24 wanted to know if we can print
00:31:29 Why?
00:31:31 -Because I think it's great.
00:31:33 -Who cares what you think?
00:31:36 -Well known drag.
00:31:43 Mom, did you
00:31:56 I guess so.
00:32:06 Good evening, Fay.
00:32:08 What do you want?
00:32:10 I've got these
00:32:13 Leave them there
00:33:23 Where is he?
00:33:29 Henry?
00:33:51 Mommy!
00:34:08 Simon, are you
00:34:14 This year, when you go to the polls,
00:34:22 He wants to restore America to its
00:34:27 power and opportunity.
00:34:30 To revitalize
00:34:33 and lead the human race to even
00:34:37 prosperity and security.
00:34:41 He's a good man.
00:34:45 Immigrant.
00:35:11 Listen...
00:35:13 I know a man.
00:35:16 His name is Angus James, and he is a
00:35:20 Smart, adventurous,
00:35:23 When the time is right, I'll
00:35:27 He'll respect my opinion.
00:35:32 That man was here again
00:35:36 A man? What man?
00:35:38 You know. That guy.
00:35:43 Why do they torment me like this?
00:35:47 -They're like a bunch of mosquitoes.
00:35:51 They want to suffocate me, Simon.
00:35:55 -Why?
00:35:59 They're afraid of what I might do.
00:36:02 They're afraid of my ideas. You
00:36:07 We are?
00:36:09 We are outsiders.
00:36:12 too deeply.
00:36:14 Our mere existence is a threat
00:36:17 Sure, they'll name awing of
00:36:20 But now where we are alive,
00:36:26 Look, Simon...
00:36:29 I made love to your mother
00:36:31 and now I'm beginning to think that
00:36:40 I mean to say that
00:37:09 I don't want
00:37:11 Bad move, Simon.
00:37:14 A poet's gotta be able
00:37:33 Am I really a poet?
00:37:39 Of course you are.
00:37:42 A great poet.
00:37:47 But you need experience.
00:37:50 You need to do something
00:37:54 Come on. Let's go out.
00:37:57 Have you got any money?
00:38:39 That man is a bad influence.
00:38:47 To whom?
00:39:58 Simon.
00:40:01 -Hey, Simon. Wake up.
00:40:03 It's a computer.
00:40:06 -Here's the manual.
00:40:08 I stole it. Now, listen. Remember we
00:40:14 ...to the readability of form.
00:40:17 -I cannot work on these conditions.
00:40:21 -Get a life!
00:40:28 Beast! Fiend! Rapist!
00:40:32 Oh, shut up, mom.
00:40:41 I am not a rapist.
00:40:51 Shit. Come on. This way.
00:41:10 Keep a lookout.
00:41:16 What's going on?
00:41:36 What's wrong?
00:41:41 I doubt.
00:41:44 So, you're an honest man.
00:41:48 I don't know if there are grounds
00:41:53 Does it make a difference?
00:41:56 -A difference in what?
00:42:01 Is this away to
00:42:03 -Your vocation makes a difference.
00:42:08 Because vocation is the difference.
00:42:14 Listen, father.
00:42:20 Let's go have a drink.
00:42:26 -Are you a registered voter?
00:42:29 I could give you some information
00:42:32 This man will make a big difference
00:42:35 -Pardon me, sir.
00:42:37 Right.
00:42:44 What time does your mother get off?
00:42:50 Don't you dare talk to me that way.
00:42:54 -Pearl, what are you doing here?
00:42:57 -You and Vicky got back together?
00:43:01 I saw this retard
00:43:04 He's gonna be the next
00:43:07 Keep dreaming, Warren.
00:43:10 -I like him.
00:43:12 He's a decent man.
00:43:16 and he totally simplifies them.
00:43:19 -You still sell dope?
00:43:22 You know what the problem
00:43:25 Me. I'm the problem. We live
00:43:30 where the work ethic
00:43:33 and male responsibility
00:43:37 Come on, Pearl.
00:43:43 If she gives you any trouble,
00:43:51 -What do you mean, you quit?
00:43:54 -Why?
00:43:57 Like what?
00:43:58 Opportunity will step out of the
00:44:06 -Are you drunk?
00:44:10 I'm not getting a job.
00:44:17 -Who's gonna look after mom?
00:44:21 If you treat mom
00:44:25 she's gonna stay like,
00:44:33 Mom can't be left alone with
00:44:37 Who's been keeping an eye on her
00:45:43 Simon?
00:45:46 Henry, your parole officer
00:45:50 He told me that if you don't call
00:45:54 -He wants you to call him!
00:46:08 He was talking to Mr. Deng too.
00:46:11 Simon, just shut the fuck up!
00:46:17 Forgive me.
00:46:21 Forgive me, Simon.
00:46:24 Do you have a library card?
00:46:26 Check this out for me. Milton.
00:46:30 It's important my confession
00:46:34 comb previous evidence, help chart
00:46:37 inevitability of my ideas.
00:46:43 Wander around.
00:46:45 Feel them.
00:46:49 -Now, listen. I gotta go.
00:46:54 What did you do?
00:47:09 I got caught.
00:50:01 -How are you, Henry?
00:50:06 Have you found a job?
00:50:10 How about those Alcoholics Anonymous
00:50:15 What about that assistant librarian
00:50:19 I tried, Henry.
00:50:22 -So, what happened?
00:50:28 I mean, your record,
00:50:32 ...to have you at the library.
00:50:35 They think you'd be
00:50:39 Or worse.
00:50:48 So my word is not enough.
00:50:51 My promise, worthless.
00:50:54 The fact that I have served my time
00:50:57 ...continuing guilt.
00:51:13 -What's that?
00:51:16 I'm creating my resume.
00:51:18 This computer has got
00:51:21 Bought some special stationery too.
00:51:26 It's roses.
00:51:47 Can you type my
00:51:52 -That's your poem?
00:51:55 Simon, mom's right about you.
00:51:58 A poem's supposed to be a small,
00:52:03 Look at this.
00:52:30 I was caught.
00:52:34 Yes. I was caught once.
00:52:38 In flagrante delictum screwing
00:52:46 She was an ugly
00:52:50 But she knew how to play
00:52:53 which, I admit...
00:52:57 are deep and many.
00:53:04 You appear shocked.
00:53:12 It was a pathetic little conspiracy.
00:53:17 to discredit me and my ideas.
00:53:21 To label me a mere pedophile. As if
00:53:25 As if Socrates himself hadn't
00:53:28 for corrupting
00:53:37 Seven years.
00:53:41 Seven years for one afternoon
00:53:50 But, what of it?
00:53:53 Who cares?
00:53:56 Prison is not so bad.
00:54:00 Particularly if one's free from the
00:54:09 They were not lost years.
00:54:13 I put them to good use.
00:54:15 I began my major
00:54:19 Believe me, Simon.
00:54:22 This incident with the girl...
00:54:25 prison...
00:54:26 pales to insignificance in the
00:54:33 Nothing in comparison to the day
00:54:44 We are told not to judge.
00:54:48 Not to look into our neighbor's eyes
00:54:53 This is difficult, I admit.
00:54:55 But having a good friend
00:54:59 Yes, I see.
00:55:06 But...
00:55:08 I mean...
00:55:13 do you ever think that...
00:55:16 that Henry is...
00:55:20 dangerous?
00:55:23 He needs help.
00:55:28 Yours, especially.
00:55:32 The best parts of himself surface
00:55:39 Let yourself be taught. Show
00:55:43 In this way, perhaps...
00:55:45 Well...
00:55:47 there's hope for everyone.
00:55:49 Even Henry.
00:55:54 The greats all say
00:56:02 Little. And, what little
00:56:07 In other words, follow your
00:56:11 without regard for the apparent
00:56:14 which has no needs of such,
00:56:18 in which it is
00:56:21 We can only hope to collide with
00:56:25 ...this divine fatigue, this...
00:56:30 As I tried to
00:56:37 "We know we have fallen,
00:56:40 -When were you in Paris?
00:56:43 But did they listen to me?
00:56:48 -You okay, Fay?
00:56:52 Your poem brought my period
00:56:55 So, just shut up.
00:56:58 -Simon, can I have your autograph?
00:57:04 -What of your friend, the publisher?
00:57:08 -Angus James.
00:57:10 Because it's not done yet.
00:57:13 When is it gonna
00:57:17 -I don't know.
00:57:19 -Instead of hanging with groupies.
00:57:23 -Pardon me. Is this your laptop?
00:57:27 parts of it to different magazines
00:57:31 -You know, substantiate it.
00:57:34 A preoccupation with excrement.
00:57:37 That's what the Board of Education
00:57:47 -Hello.
00:57:49 I'm Edna Rodriguez and I write for
00:57:54 I was just wondering if I can
00:58:01 Simon!
00:58:05 You can't talk too long with him,
00:58:09 That's all he does. Can you believe
00:58:14 Simon, Edna.
00:58:17 The parent's association is
00:58:22 The teachers are defending
00:58:25 critical taste and sensibility. The
00:58:28 considers the poem emblematic of
00:58:31 disintegration. How do you feel
00:58:36 Simon, answer the woman.
00:58:46 -I need my prescription pills.
00:58:49 Mrs. Grim, what was Simon
00:58:53 -We all thought he was retarded.
00:58:55 -Never said a word.
00:58:57 -Had no friends.
00:58:59 "Dear Mr. Grim:
00:59:01 we here at the magazine consider
00:59:06 and consistently print the work
00:59:11 Every week we are forced to return
00:59:17 and include a brief
00:59:20 But this tract you sent us demands
00:59:23 as the effect your words
00:59:28 Drop dead.
00:59:32 Sincerely, the editors."
00:59:35 "De gustibus non disputandum est."
00:59:42 "You can't argue with taste?"
00:59:45 About taste. You can't argue about
00:59:50 The other 25 are almost as bad.
00:59:58 What do you mean, you
01:00:01 You bother because you
01:00:04 Do I?
01:00:07 Of course you do.
01:00:09 I'm not so sure sometimes.
01:00:12 Can you sit there, look me in the
01:00:17 That it is not a work
01:00:20 and ethical depth?
01:00:23 That it is not a profound meditation
01:00:30 -I...
01:00:35 No.
01:00:36 -I can't.
01:00:57 Can you recommend it to your
01:01:01 Can you recommend
01:01:04 -That might not be easy.
01:01:07 It's been a long time. My name might
01:01:14 -But he's your friend, right?
01:01:17 You said he
01:01:32 Look, Simon.
01:01:36 Opinions come and go.
01:01:40 To be honest,
01:01:45 they've not always
01:01:47 or even calmly.
01:01:50 They're upsetting.
01:01:55 You see, what I'm
01:01:58 Too uncompromising.
01:02:00 It'll take time
01:02:02 It's ahead of its time, perhaps,
01:02:15 a recommendation from me might
01:02:37 Henry, why can't
01:02:43 Because certain works need to be
01:02:46 for one to appreciate
01:02:55 Simon, wake up.
01:02:58 He's afraid that his reputation will
01:03:01 -His reputation as what?
01:03:04 -Give me a break.
01:03:06 marginalized
01:03:08 If he's such a genius, why doesn't
01:03:12 He has. He's been working on it for
01:03:16 Yeah, I bet.
01:03:20 It's quite serious and difficult
01:03:23 Have you read it?
01:03:25 No. Not yet. Soon.
01:03:27 Certain work needs to be
01:03:29 in order for one to appreciate
01:03:36 Yeah, well. Whatever.
01:03:40 Go to this Angus James yourself
01:03:44 I'm going to fight for a job at the
01:03:50 Make sure mom
01:03:53 See ya.
01:05:26 Please, don't stop.
01:05:41 That was nice.
01:05:43 Yes, it was nice.
01:05:46 But it was unremarkable.
01:05:57 Does that matter?
01:06:02 Yes...
01:06:04 it does.
01:07:41 Hi, I'll take that.
01:07:48 Aren't you the messenger?
01:07:52 No.
01:07:55 Well, then you must
01:08:08 I'm here to see
01:08:11 Are you?
01:08:13 The book we know, Angus, will be
01:08:18 Novels, articles, newspapers,
01:08:23 You're telling me to get
01:08:26 We've got to reinvent the publishing
01:08:29 I'm sorry to disturb you, gentlemen.
01:08:34 that seems to have written a poem.
01:08:37 And I recall how in last month's
01:08:39 for us to be on the lookout for
01:08:42 un-established quarters
01:08:45 -Did I say that?
01:08:47 Twice.
01:08:48 Okay, Laura. Make an appointment.
01:08:51 Right-o.
01:08:53 So, how is the digital revolution
01:08:58 Why can't I see him now?
01:09:00 Because he's a very
01:09:04 you're not.
01:09:10 Be reasonable.
01:09:13 Why?
01:09:14 I don't think people are gonna
01:09:17 -It's not television...
01:09:20 Angus, look. We have
01:09:22 In every home in America, the PC
01:09:27 And it'll be a direct connection
01:09:30 An unprecedented transformation
01:09:33 We'll become more informed, more
01:09:37 and, well, like I said,
01:09:42 I'm sorry to disturb you
01:09:44 I'll call security for this one. But
01:09:48 just how marginal the undiscovered
01:09:53 -Pretty damn marginal, I think.
01:09:56 -How's he striking?
01:10:00 I read about him. He hangs around
01:10:11 Hello. Why do you think I should
01:10:18 -Because it's a masterpiece.
01:10:21 -He's adorable.
01:10:23 I'm sure not. I assume you can
01:10:28 Just say "yes."
01:10:30 Maybe.
01:10:31 Get him a coffee, Laura.
01:10:33 -Have a seat, Mr. Grim.
01:10:35 -What about Steve?
01:10:38 Angus, listen...
01:10:40 -Henry, put those magazines back.
01:10:46 -It's not good for you.
01:10:50 I refuse to discriminate
01:10:57 -You can't smoke in here anymore.
01:11:00 It's the law.
01:11:09 This place is losing
01:11:13 Business is good. The kids
01:11:17 ...talk about art and read poetry.
01:11:20 These kids today,
01:11:26 This is really quite
01:11:28 I've made a career
01:11:33 But this is profoundly
01:11:36 This is only my opinion,
01:11:39 Good night, Laura. Call Norton
01:11:42 I refuse to admit that I've ever
01:11:48 You got talent. You have an innate
01:11:52 A good ear, maybe. But you
01:11:57 And this twisted reasoning that
01:12:01 it's...
01:12:05 Why did you bring
01:12:08 A friend of mine spoke of you.
01:12:12 Yes, well, of course
01:12:16 Who is this person?
01:12:22 His name is Henry Fool.
01:12:31 Never heard of him.
01:12:49 I remember Henry.
01:13:01 He used to be
01:13:12 Simon?
01:14:11 -How much do I owe you?
01:14:15 That can't be right. So what,
01:14:20 -You got a couple of bucks?
01:14:23 Of course. When noble minds shrink
01:14:27 scoundrels will rush in
01:14:30 It's every American's right.
01:14:35 And yet another opportunity
01:14:39 Anybody home?
01:14:46 Mom?
01:14:52 Henry, got any cigarettes?
01:18:24 Let us pray.
01:18:27 Lord, grant the peace be within
01:18:34 May the pain and confusion
01:18:38 be forth through
01:18:40 so that she may enter
01:18:43 and live in the light of God.
01:18:46 Amen.
01:19:39 So I was a janitor. So what?
01:19:44 -Angus said he didn't even know you.
01:19:48 We used to talk sometimes,
01:19:52 He said he liked my ideas.
01:19:54 Being a janitor is a good
01:19:57 Especially the night shift. All that
01:20:02 Do it.
01:20:13 -Anyway, he hated my poem.
01:20:17 He wouldn't know a vital piece
01:20:21 The hell with him! He's not
01:20:25 -Nobody likes it.
01:20:28 A prophet is seldom heeded
01:20:32 Do it.
01:20:38 Hey, look. Treasure.
01:20:44 -What is this?
01:20:48 It's a ring. Jewelry.
01:20:51 I think it's a gasket, a fitting for
01:21:59 Warren, I found Pearl wandering
01:22:04 -He lost.
01:22:06 -Congressman Feer.
01:22:11 What's the fucking use?
01:22:14 You make sacrifices,
01:22:18 try to contribute something
01:22:20 and then lose to a bunch
01:22:27 I don't give a shit anymore.
01:22:44 Vicky?
01:22:48 What happened to you?
01:22:55 He's a good man, Henry.
01:23:03 I guess not.
01:23:05 He's terribly disappointed.
01:23:15 Thanks.
01:23:18 And you don't?
01:23:28 I love him.
01:23:40 -Where's the beer?
01:23:43 Coffee. Espresso. Cappuccino. Café
01:23:47 Give me a double espresso
01:23:51 Do you mind paying?
01:23:54 Did you go to the
01:23:57 No. But it's okay. Simon's gonna
01:24:01 -I'm concerned about your friend.
01:24:04 It seems he gave an obscene
01:24:07 -Get out of here. When?
01:24:09 -This is obviously a love letter.
01:24:14 -Where did you get it?
01:24:16 Oh, slut!
01:24:18 She was trying to warn other
01:24:25 Does all of this is
01:24:28 -About how you can get pornography?
01:24:32 -You can send dirty pictures.
01:24:35 -Yeah.
01:24:39 I'll see you
01:24:41 Gnoc, give me another one of these
01:24:52 Hello, Fay.
01:24:55 Go away.
01:25:01 You gotta get out
01:25:04 You can't blame yourself for not
01:25:11 Is there something you want?
01:25:17 Have you got the Internet
01:25:20 Yeah, so what?
01:25:25 Look, Fay. About between
01:25:29 I don't want to
01:25:36 Type that part of Simon's
01:25:39 What?
01:25:41 Go ahead.
01:25:43 No.
01:25:46 Why not?
01:25:48 Because.
01:25:50 Come on, Fay.
01:25:54 -I don't know if Simon would want it.
01:25:58 Just the first ten verses.
01:26:02 I don't know...
01:26:04 He'll thank you for it later.
01:26:25 Henry?
01:26:59 Did you see him?
01:27:01 -He came by this afternoon.
01:27:06 No.
01:27:10 You've gotta tell him, Fay.
01:27:14 He thinks I'm a slut.
01:27:26 Simon, I don't feel so good.
01:27:42 What's wrong?
01:27:45 I feel all kind of
01:27:56 -How many of these did you have?
01:28:09 -Henry, we have to talk.
01:28:12 Fay's taking a shower.
01:28:15 How much you think
01:28:19 Henry, Fay is pregnant.
01:28:28 She's pregnant
01:28:50 Jesus!
01:29:32 Henry...
01:30:15 I, Henry, take you, Fay,
01:30:19 I, Henry, take you, Fay,
01:30:22 And do promise before
01:30:25 And do promise before
01:30:28 To be a loving
01:30:32 To be a loving
01:30:34 In plenty and in want...
01:30:36 In plenty and in want...
01:30:38 In joy and in sorrow...
01:30:41 In joy and in sorrow...
01:30:43 In sickness and in health...
01:30:46 In sickness and in health...
01:30:47 For as long as
01:30:51 For as long as
01:30:55 Bless, o Lord, this ring, and he who
01:31:00 may abide in Your peace and continue
01:31:08 In God has joined,
01:31:30 -Where did you get this?
01:31:35 They're even talking
01:31:41 There's a man from the radio
01:31:44 and a story about some kids burning
01:31:48 It all started here in Queens, Jim,
01:31:51 about a year ago, when local garbage
01:31:58 what many regard as vicious, anti
01:32:03 This is outrageous!
01:32:04 Measures must be taken.
01:32:06 Have we debased our culture
01:32:10 that a garbage man with a head
01:32:13 is legitimately
01:32:15 and where the filth he spews can be
01:32:21 Is this what we have come to?
01:32:24 highest ideals, but a cynical,
01:32:28 In the past three days
01:32:30 to the usual parade
01:32:33 the posturing, the preening,
01:32:36 of the residual puritan element
01:32:39 that rears its ugly head every time
01:32:44 I'm very attracted to what I feel is
01:32:49 That is the authentic thrashing
01:32:53 And, moreover, I find the kind
01:32:57 that is always symptomatic
01:33:01 In Rome, the Pope issued a message
01:33:05 plight against what he termed
01:33:08 He did not mention
01:33:11 but offered a prayer for the young,
01:33:14 need of faith, not the illusion of
01:33:19 drugs, and
01:33:21 Also in the news today: the
01:33:42 God, Simon, you're like
01:33:51 I'm willing
01:33:54 I know. It's just...
01:33:55 What? You got other offers?
01:33:57 Well, yeah...
01:34:00 -But...
01:34:04 Why have you reconsidered?
01:34:08 Because I think your writing
01:34:11 But you don't like it.
01:34:15 It's growing on me.
01:34:18 -What were the terms?
01:34:23 Up front.
01:34:24 -Royalties?
01:34:28 Well, that could be better.
01:34:30 But it is a hundred thousand dollars
01:34:34 You could use that.
01:34:37 -So it's a good deal?
01:34:42 So I should take it?
01:34:48 No.
01:34:49 Try to get him
01:35:01 I've let
01:35:07 I've let myself be caught in a
01:35:14 How did I get here?
01:35:17 How did this happen to me?
01:35:21 I'm going to be
01:35:26 I need time
01:35:31 time to finish my confession.
01:35:34 I can't work for a living.
01:35:37 Simon, it's impossible.
01:35:41 My genius would be wasted
01:35:47 This is how great
01:35:50 Their hearts are at the right
01:35:53 They get sidetracked,
01:35:59 How could I've
01:36:16 Henry, please let
01:36:19 Angus James is convinced my poem is
01:36:24 He'll read your book and
01:36:26 If I ask him to.
01:36:30 Really?
01:36:40 I'll insist he
01:36:45 or I won't let him
01:36:48 You'd do that?
01:36:51 You'd do that for me?
01:37:01 You saved my life.
01:37:08 Do you realize
01:37:17 I owe you everything.
01:40:34 Is it really that bad?
01:40:39 Yes.
01:40:47 Maybe your expectations
01:40:49 Are you sure you're
01:41:09 -You read this?
01:41:12 And you want me
01:41:15 -Yes.
01:41:19 Yes.
01:41:26 Simon...
01:41:28 this book is
01:41:36 That's what you said
01:41:43 I'm offering you a real expression
01:41:48 US$ 2OO,OOO,
01:41:56 But just exactly what is the
01:42:04 Simon, you don't
01:42:09 but my experience as a publisher.
01:42:13 that your poem will make more money
01:42:18 You will never have to work again
01:42:21 or in anything else,
01:42:23 Whereas this...
01:42:28 The most I can say
01:42:33 the man is a scoundrel.
01:42:36 -He taught me everything I know.
01:42:39 He encouraged what was expressive
01:42:43 He inspired you to act.
01:42:48 How about if my advance
01:42:51 -It isn't about money, Simon.
01:42:57 I will not publish
01:43:05 Will you sign the contract?
01:43:16 I'm gonna go get your coat.
01:43:19 -Where is your coat?
01:43:23 I'm gonna go and get
01:43:39 Get in the car!
01:43:43 -I want to go up front!
01:44:01 When did the water broke?
01:44:03 -Give me an ultrasonograph.
01:44:09 -She's losing her heartbeat.
01:44:12 -Give her oxygen.
01:44:41 What happened?
01:44:44 It's a...
01:44:49 it's a boy.
01:44:53 So, how did it
01:45:02 Listen, Henry. Angus
01:45:05 Oh, I see.
01:45:08 -Well, what now?
01:45:10 -Did he suggest changes?
01:45:13 There are things I can do
01:45:16 Accessible?
01:45:18 I can soften up some of the language
01:45:21 Take out some of the more
01:45:23 and popularize the underlying
01:45:27 I can change its mode. Make it
01:45:31 No, don't.
01:45:33 I appreciate your
01:45:35 But the integrity of the work
01:45:46 No, really, Henry. Don't.
01:45:53 What are you saying?
01:45:56 That it doesn't
01:45:58 I'm saying Angus James
01:46:04 -Did you tell him what you think?
01:46:07 Yes, it does.
01:46:10 I gave it to him to read and he
01:46:14 You can refuse to let him
01:46:28 I can't do that.
01:46:38 You said you would.
01:46:44 That was before
01:47:01 I signed the contract.
01:47:08 Look, Henry.
01:47:12 I...
01:47:15 I don't know.
01:47:17 If I told you when I read it, it was
01:47:23 -I would've respected your opinion.
01:47:28 Well, is there?
01:47:37 I don't know.
01:47:41 because it was good,
01:47:56 Oh, how perfectly
01:47:59 Look, Henry.
01:48:03 I wrote poetry
01:48:09 I worked. I worked
01:48:12 and comfortably dismissed the
01:48:16 Is that such a priority? Is that
01:48:22 To drag what's best in him out into
01:48:25 slob with some pretense to taste
01:48:45 Maybe.
01:48:48 Maybe it is.
01:48:58 You must be pretty impressed
01:49:03 The all too obviously
01:49:07 The important new voice.
01:49:12 You'd be nowhere without
01:49:18 I'm leaving.
01:49:23 I saw you for what you were
01:49:29 I hold no grudge and I'm sure you'll
01:49:37 The world is full of shit.
01:49:40 The world is full of shit.
01:49:45 And you have to walk through it.
01:49:49 I'm sorry, but you're good at it.
01:49:54 Perhaps I wasn't made
01:49:59 Go on, now.
01:50:02 Leave.
01:50:04 Do what you're good at. Go.
01:51:05 -What are you doing?
01:51:11 About what?
01:51:14 Nothing.
01:51:22 Play.
01:52:06 Henry, what did I tell you about
01:52:09 -Say hello to Patty, Ned.
01:52:11 -How are you doing, sweetie?
01:52:15 -Nothing.
01:52:21 -How's that?
01:52:23 Of course. See, that'll teach you.
01:52:50 Pearl!
01:52:54 I'm warning you.
01:53:08 That's it.
01:53:10 Perfect!
01:53:13 -Hey, Fool, it's about your friend.
01:53:19 The controversial and reclusive
01:53:23 has been awarded
01:53:26 The Swedish academy, which will
01:53:30 praised Mr. Grim for works of great
01:53:35 rendering of the desperate,
01:53:38 in a language packet in our
01:53:43 They must be hard out for geniuses
01:53:47 when I first met him, he didn't even
01:53:52 -He's a fraud.
01:53:55 Stir things up so as to get in
01:53:59 He's a great American
01:54:02 Poet my ass!
01:54:05 I could puke all over a leaf and
01:54:11 Come over here, and I'll cripple
01:54:17 Henry!
01:54:19 Listen, you degenerate. I've had it.
01:54:25 Ned, have you been drinking?
01:54:27 His throat hurt from smoking.
01:54:31 Henry, don't come home tonight.
01:54:56 Who's winning?
01:54:58 Nobody.
01:55:03 What's going on in there?
01:55:06 We got out rock and
01:55:09 Poetry readings just don't
01:55:12 What did I tell you?
01:55:16 I told you that.
01:55:20 You hear about Simon?
01:55:23 Yeah. So what?
01:55:34 Nobel Prize.
01:55:37 Anybody can get
01:55:40 That's the problem
01:55:44 Nobody's got
01:55:49 'Ve you seen Fay?
01:55:52 You better sleep in
