00:00Hey.
00:07H-hello?
00:14H-hello?
00:19C-can anybody hear me?
00:24H-hello? C-can anybody hear me?
00:37What is this place?
00:49This is weird.
00:56Hello?
00:58Can anyone hear me?
01:07W-what is this, a joke?
01:11Alright, come on, let me out of here.
01:18This is weird.
01:21No doors, no windows.
01:24I need a place to sit.
01:26Oh, boy.
01:27Got you your stool, pal.
01:28Sorry I couldn't get it here sooner.
01:31Oh, listen, it's alright.
01:33I'm just glad you came.
01:34My pleasure.
01:36Oh, the strawberry jam on this stool.
01:39Y-you know, for one crazy minute there,
01:41I thought I was trapped inside this place.
01:44I can't begin to tell you how relieved I am
01:46just to see you open that...
02:01Hi, honey, we were wondering what's keeping you.
02:03Look, Teddy, the show starts in about 15 minutes.
02:06Are you ready to go now, Ted?
02:07Where's your coat?
02:09W-who are you?
02:11W-what is this place?
02:12What are you doing here, anyway?
02:14Look, I'm sorry, but I think you must have made some mistake.
02:18You see, I don't know any of your people.
02:20Ted, don't you know me?
02:22I'm Margaret.
02:23I'm your wife.
02:24He's probably taking some kind of drug or something.
02:26Come on, let's go.
02:27He'll snap out of it.
02:28Maybe it's radiation or laser beams or something.
02:32I think we should get out of here.
02:34Ted, you're coming with us.
02:37The fresh air will do you good.
02:39Hey, look, I'm not Ted, but,
02:41boy, I would like to get out of here.
02:43I'm sure you'll be all right.
02:45Don't forget your coat.
02:51Uh, hey, the door closed.
02:53Hey, would you come back and open the door?
03:03Good afternoon, sir.
03:04Something the matter?
03:06Why?
03:07I'm Mr. Thomas, the manager.
03:09Manager?
03:10Of what?
03:11Why, of this entire establishment, of course.
03:14What's going on here?
03:16Nothing that I know of.
03:17I just wanted to say hello
03:19and make sure you had everything you needed.
03:21No, that's not what I mean.
03:24What is this place?
03:25What's it for?
03:27We ask that question ourselves once in a while.
03:30Some people find it hard to believe,
03:32too good to be true, I guess.
03:33But I don't understand why I'm being...
03:35I thought you might not understand.
03:37That's why I dropped by.
03:39One thing, I suppose nobody told you about the call button.
03:42The what?
03:43I thought not.
03:44It's right over here on the wall.
03:46If you need anything, just ring,
03:48any time of the day or night.
03:49I never noticed this before.
03:51Oh, yes, all the cubes.
03:53That is, that call button was always here.
03:57There are other cubes?
03:58No, I didn't mean to say that.
04:00Why not?
04:01Well, it's not that you shouldn't know, certainly,
04:03but I just hate to mislead you.
04:05But there are other places with people trapped inside them.
04:08No, that's not accurate at all.
04:10No one is trapped.
04:11Some people seem quite content and stay.
04:14Of course, there are others who wish to leave,
04:16and if they really want to, there's no real problem.
04:19Well, what do they do?
04:21They just leave.
04:22But how?
04:23Oh, in various ways.
04:25All of us on the managerial level got out one way or another.
04:28Yes, but how?
04:29I mean, give me an example.
04:30Well, the simple, direct approach is best.
04:34Now, if you'll excuse me, sir,
04:35I've got other matters to attend to.
04:38Oh, wait a minute.
04:40Can I go with you?
04:42I'm afraid you can't get out this way, sir.
04:44This is my door.
05:06Hi, pal. It's just me.
05:08I've got your telephone.
05:09My what?
05:10Your telephone.
05:11Didn't you order a telephone?
05:12No, no, I didn't.
05:14Oh, excuse me.
05:15Oh, well, wait a minute.
05:16Can I have a telephone if I want?
05:17Of course you can.
05:18Do you want a telephone?
05:20Sure.
05:21It might come in handy.
05:23All you've got to do is ask.
05:25That's what I'm here for.
05:26I can get you anything you want.
05:28Oh, really?
05:29Yeah.
05:30I didn't know that.
05:31Well, didn't they tell you?
05:32Oh, what's wrong with these guys?
05:34Look, guys, Ernie, who are they?
05:36The trouble with this establishment is there's no organization.
05:41You wouldn't believe some of the weirdos that run this place.
05:45I might.
05:46For instance, what do you think we got delivered to the shipping room yesterday?
05:51Go on. You'll never guess.
05:53Go ahead. Guess.
05:55You'll never guess.
05:56I don't know.
05:58Four tons of chocolate rabbits.
06:02What in the hell am I going to do with four tons of chocolate rabbits?
06:06I don't know.
06:08Fourteen years I've been here and not one request for a chocolate rabbit.
06:14I put them in the armored cars for the time being.
06:18But, oh, boy, when the summer comes and it starts getting warm, oof.
06:24Well, there's your telephone all hooked up.
06:27Now, listen, I'll tell you what I'll do.
06:29I'll go outside and I'll call back and we'll see if it's working, okay?
06:34Fine, thanks.
06:35Right.
07:00Here.
07:03Here.
07:08PHONE RINGS
07:16Good afternoon.
07:18Oh, yes.
07:19Just a moment, please.
07:23Uh, excuse me, sir.
07:29Telephone for you.
07:32You're welcome.
07:40Hello.
07:41Hello, pal. It's just me, Arnie. Can you hear me?
07:43Fine.
07:44Yeah, well, then you're in business. So long, now.
08:00PHONE RINGS
08:04Hello. Arnie speaking.
08:05Uh, what?
08:06Arnie.
08:07What can I do for you?
08:09Oh, nothing. I must have gotten the wrong number.
08:12Okay, pal.
08:14I swear I dialed right.
08:20Get it for me.
08:24Hello. Arnie speaking.
08:26What?
08:27Something wrong, pal?
08:29Yes, this telephone isn't working.
08:31What do you mean it isn't working? I can hear you fine. Can you hear me?
08:34Yes, I can, but that isn't what I dialed.
08:36Your phone's working. So long, pal.
08:39PHONE RINGS
08:45That's no way to treat a telephone. No wonder it isn't working.
08:49Well, there was a...
08:52Bullseye. Congratulations, pal. You win yourself a chocolate rabbit.
09:00PHONE RINGS
09:10Where did that stool go?
09:15What is it?
09:16This is the MPD. You are under arrest. Open the door.
09:19I can't open the door.
09:21Open the door.
09:27Make a note of this, Fitz. The prisoner resisted arrest.
09:30Now, wait a minute.
09:31There will be no backtalk from the prisoner.
09:33You have been under observation for quite some time and we are well aware of your activities.
09:38What activities?
09:39Now we shall go about finding the proof.
09:41We have a search warrant.
09:44You mean to tell me you want to search this place?
09:46Exactly.
09:49Be my guest.
09:50We shall start with this.
09:54Aha! Uncut diamonds.
09:57The smuggling trade is a profitable one, eh, my friends?
10:00But, look here...
10:01Fitz.
10:03You check that wall. I'll take this one.
10:05Yeah.
10:09Aha! Gold bullion.
10:11Stamped with the Bank of Munich seal.
10:15Vital plans of the X-74 classified top secret.
10:20Microfilm.
10:22Documenting the entire national security system.
10:27And here we have the arsenal.
10:30Machine guns.
10:32Sten guns.
10:34Dynamite.
10:37Sergeant, look over here.
10:39Dr. Kingsley.
10:40Missing for two weeks.
10:44This means, I believe, that our negotiations concerning the doctor's ransom are at an end.
10:50Fitz, gather up everything.
10:52This is ridiculous.
10:54Yes, it is ridiculous. Ridiculous that a dog like you should walk the streets,
10:58free to murder and pillage, steal the secrets of a great nation, make a mockery of the people,
11:03Ridiculous that a dog like you should walk the streets, free to murder and pillage, steal the secrets of a great nation,
11:08make a mockery of the law which makes that nation great.
11:11It's ridiculous we don't slaughter you like a pig.
11:17But, there are more painful ways to die.
11:21Lasting months, perhaps.
11:25During which time, you will have much to tell us.
11:31So, Fitz, do you have everything?
11:34Everything, Sergeant.
11:35Wait here until we return.
11:39Come, Fitz.
12:01Ah.
12:05The whole place is so cold and efficient.
12:07More like a cage than a place to live, or whatever it is you do here.
12:11Could you help me? A couple of goons came in here and they put these handcuffs on me.
12:15You know, no designer would design a place like this.
12:18This place was designed by a machine. Did you know that?
12:21I know those machines. I used to work for one.
12:23Hey, Arnie!
12:24Right here, Miss Fitz.
12:26Bring me a bucket of mustard yellow paint.
12:29I thought mustard yellow might warm the walls up a bit, don't you think?
12:32Well, I think I'd like to get out of these handcuffs.
12:34Of course, we don't have to go with mustard yellow. There are lots of other colors.
12:37One bucket of mustard yellow. Hi, pal. How are you doing?
12:39Could you help me get out of these?
12:41You know you're right. Mustard yellow is not the right color at all.
12:44No mustard yellow today.
12:48What color do you want, Miss Bates?
12:51I think tangerine. Tangerine is just the right color for you.
12:56One bucket of tangerine coming up.
12:58Tangerine is one of my favorite colors.
13:01Tangerine is the color of ripe, rich fruit.
13:05Of course, you can't look at tangerine all the time.
13:08Say, how many hours a day do you spend in here, anyhow?
13:15Good heavens, he can't spend the rest of his...
13:18Well, I mean, you can't look at tangerine all the time.
13:21You don't want tangerine, eh?
13:23Well, of course not. A color like that could drive a man insane, get rid of that awful pain.
13:27All right, one, two...
13:32Two points for the home side.
13:34You know, it should be something... something soothing.
13:37What colors do you have out there that are soothing?
13:40We have white.
13:42White, of course. Perfect.
13:46White is a symbol of purity.
13:48The symbol of spirituality.
13:51The eternal and glorious ultimate of colors.
13:55White.
13:56It's already white.
13:59Oh, so it is.
14:01Well, couldn't you put on a coat of shellac or something, freshen it up a bit?
14:07Just happened to have a can of shellac right here.
14:18That doesn't smell like shellac.
14:20No, actually it's deodorant, but she can't tell the difference.
14:23Look, if she comes back, tell her you like it better, will you?
14:28Ah, ah, ah, ah, this is my door.
14:44Oh, hey, you gave me a start, man. I didn't think anyone was in here.
14:47Oh, I'm in here all right.
14:49Look, I usually come in here to practice. Do you mind?
14:51Oh, no.
14:53Well, I see you've been visited by the fuzz, eh?
14:55Ah, yeah, sure have.
14:57Here, here's the key.
15:01Thanks a lot.
15:02Don't mention it.
15:04Look, why don't you lie down and rest on the bed while I practice?
15:06Because there is no...
15:09I don't know how I got here.
15:12Probably turned to jello when I sit on it.
15:15Here we go.
15:46Now the inside of the near place is the outside of the far
15:54But you can only face your space one way
16:00You're really in the middle of the inside of yourself
16:07And there is only one thing we can say
16:16You'll never get out
16:19You'll never get out
16:21You'll never get out of the cubic sense
16:25You'll never get out
16:28You'll never get out
16:30You'll never get out till you're dead, dead, dead.
16:35Till you're dead, dead, dead.
16:55Rest period is over, sir.
17:00Rest period is over, sir.
17:26I think I made it.
17:29Thank God, I really think I did.
17:35Who are you?
17:36I'm sorry, my name is Watson.
17:40You don't know what it means to escape.
17:44I thought I'd never see this day. How long?
17:47How long has it been that I've dreamed of this day?
17:49How long has it been?
17:51Forever, a lifetime.
17:55How long is life imprisonment?
17:57It's an eternity. That's how long.
18:00I'm sorry.
18:01Oh, but it's all over now.
18:06I'll never see the inside of that place again.
18:08Where were you?
18:10My own cube.
18:12Oh, the tortures I suffered.
18:17I can see you haven't been here too long.
18:19You haven't even got any scars yet.
18:22No, I've just been here a short while, I guess.
18:26Of course, I have no way of telling time.
18:28You know what I did?
18:30I had a way of telling how many days passed by making marks on my thumbnail.
18:34Oh, but that didn't work after a while.
18:35Oh, why not?
18:36They pulled out my thumbnails.
18:39I kind of lost interest in time after that.
18:45What have they been doing to you?
18:48Oh, nothing bad.
18:52I get to the point where the one thing I wanted was to be left alone in my own cube.
18:58That was the one thing I could depend on, my cube.
19:02Well, after you were in them a while, it...
19:05Yeah, my cube was a little older than this, wasn't it?
19:08The panels on the walls were square instead of rectangular like yours.
19:12Oh, dear.
19:13You know, I don't think I've ever been this long away from my cube before.
19:19I wonder if I left anything there.
19:22I could go back to check.
19:23They probably haven't even noticed I'm gone.
19:25Yeah, but if you go now, you may never get out again.
19:31Getting out is no problem.
19:34But they're liable to catch me if I go back.
19:39It's not worth the risk.
19:40I wouldn't think so.
19:42What do you know about it?
19:44You haven't even got any squares in this rotten cube.
19:47You don't know what it's like.
19:48You don't know what it's like to need a place where there are squares that you can depend on.
19:53Oh, I love those squares.
19:57I think I'd better go back.
20:00Wait, before you go, can you tell me how to get out of here?
20:02Get your hands off me!
20:04You and your rectangles!
20:05I've got to go back!
20:06Oh, yes, I'm going back.
20:07I'm coming back!
20:09Here I come!
20:10I'm coming!
20:13Wasn't someone here just a moment ago?
20:16No.
20:17No, I don't think so.
20:19There was, wasn't there?
20:20There was a man here claiming he'd escaped from another cube.
20:23Now, wasn't there?
20:24No.
20:25I'm not sure.
20:26Well, you didn't believe his story, did you?
20:29No.
20:30Look, I don't know what to believe.
20:32Well, you know that man was acting?
20:36He's an actor.
20:38A very good actor.
20:40Come on in, Jack.
20:43I'd like you to meet Jack Panevra, one of the best actors around.
20:47Hi.
20:49There's no need to feel embarrassed.
20:52He's a very talented actor.
20:54Couldn't we take out that part about the thumbnail?
20:56I really think that's disgusting.
20:58Well, there's a certain amount of dramatic suspense you gain with a touch of the macabre.
21:04Well, whatever you think.
21:06Let me know how it works out.
21:07Yeah, I will.
21:08Good luck.
21:10By the way, what are the rest of these cubes for, anyway?
21:14He was only kidding.
21:16You know that.
21:26Hello.
21:28Would you like company?
21:31No.
21:34I don't think so.
21:37They've really been rough on you, haven't they?
21:40I just dropped by because I thought you'd like to sit down and relax.
21:45We can't even do that.
21:48There aren't any chairs in here.
21:51There's a couch.
21:58That's another thing about this place.
22:00The furniture keeps changing.
22:04Where did this come from?
22:06It's a liquor cabinet.
22:07They always send one.
22:09If you're going to have something...
22:10I am.
22:12If you are going to have something, I'll have a scotch and the rocks.
22:16Is this real?
22:19Probably.
22:23You seem to know a lot about this place.
22:26Why are you here?
22:28I always come here to visit people.
22:32Don't you know?
22:35No, no, I don't.
22:37Why don't you sit down?
22:42I'd rather stand.
22:43Oh, come on. What's the matter?
22:46Don't your knees bend?
22:58Where's that music coming from?
23:00There's an automatic hi-fi in the liquor cabinet.
23:05My, but you're tense.
23:09How long has it been since you've relaxed?
23:12Oh, I'm not sure.
23:18Would you like me to rub your neck?
23:22No.
23:23I mean, I don't think that...
23:25Don't do that. I'm ticklish.
23:28I can't stand it.
23:30I don't think men like you are ticklish.
23:32No, really.
23:38Oh, wow.
23:40What?
23:43If I could only be sure that things...
23:48were the way they seemed.
23:51But...
23:53Why don't you give it a try?
24:01Mmm.
24:16Flushed complexion.
24:18Pupils dilated.
24:20Pulse rate 134.
24:22Blood pressure 120 over 70.
24:25Open your mouth, please.
24:27Have we got everything?
24:31How was he?
24:33Ha, nothing.
24:35Cora, next time we get one of these guys,
24:37you do the kissin'. I'll take the notes.
24:39Listen, we flip for it.
24:41New loss, so don't complain.
24:43Apparent hematosis of the angina pectoris.
24:46Oh, probably constriction of the metafibular ganglia.
24:49Mmm, what a shame.
24:50Any family history of this type before?
24:52No, he was sired by Mandrake's bride out of High Noon.
24:55Have you seen this?
24:56Is that a fact?
24:57Won the games for a handicap by six lengths last June.
25:00There'll be no more running for you, old boy.
25:02Well, he should pay his keep by the stud fees.
25:05Take these in a little water and lay out the oats.
25:08You'll be as fit as a fiddle in no time.
25:10Dr. Bedansky, can you spare a moment?
25:12I've got a platypus down the hall with a nasty case of dysentery.
25:17Excuse me, I know this is, well, a bad time,
25:21but I just wanted to congratulate you and shake your hand.
25:24But on what?
25:25As I interpret what you're doing here,
25:27this is all a very complex discussion of reality versus illusion,
25:31the perfect subject for the television medium.
25:33What do you mean, television?
25:35Oh, this is a television play.
25:37What?
25:39You don't believe that?
25:41Of course not.
25:43I should have thought you'd want to.
25:45After all, there's only one other possible explanation.
25:48Which is?
25:49Hallucination.
25:51That you are altogether insane.
26:00Tell me more about the television part.
26:02Well, there's very little else left to tell,
26:04except, of course, it will end happily.
26:07Are you sure?
26:08Of course, I can probably prove it to you.
26:10Are you sure?
26:11Of course, I can probably prove it to you.
26:12You see, this is the television medium.
26:14All this has been electronically recorded in advance anyway.
26:17What?
26:18Yes, if you'd like to see how it turns out,
26:20why, we can watch the last part of the show.
26:23This is ridiculous.
26:25How can I see something that hasn't even happened yet?
26:28Here's the picture now.
26:29This is just the last part of the program.
26:32Hey, that's me in there.
26:33Of course.
26:34But I'm still in the cube.
26:36Of course you're in the cube, but you're healthy and happy.
26:39See, we've even got the girl in the end.
26:41The perfect storybook ending.
26:45Wait.
26:47Wait, this is not a happy ending.
26:49I don't want this girl.
26:51Well, we don't need the sound.
26:54If I were you, I'd be very pleased with that ending.
26:57I hate this ending.
26:59I hate the whole thing. It's a nightmare.
27:01This is the television medium.
27:03You can always turn it off.
27:10So, how do you like it?
27:14Like what?
27:15How do you like your place here?
27:18I don't.
27:20Well, I'll see why not.
27:22It's very well made.
27:24It costs a lot of money to make a place like this.
27:27Nice walls.
27:29I don't know.
27:30I don't know.
27:31I don't know.
27:32I don't know.
27:33I don't know.
27:34I don't know.
27:35I don't know.
27:36I don't know.
27:37Nice walls.
27:39Good lighting.
27:41Well constructed.
27:43It's a terrible place.
27:46Oh, no.
27:47You don't like it in here?
27:50I think this is a wonderful place.
27:52You ought to feel nice and safe.
27:54Well protected in here.
28:01You know,
28:03there's only one thing about this place I really don't care for.
28:07What's that?
28:15It's white.
28:21I hadn't really thought of it in that way.
28:24Well, you damn well better think about it.
28:27It's nice and it's safe.
28:30And you made it and you're gonna stay in it until you die.
28:34And you're gonna die in it.
28:38This is a mausoleum
28:41to whiteness.
28:44A temple
28:46pure as the new fallen snow.
28:53And I hope you like it because you deserve it.
28:56Look, this isn't my place. I didn't have anything to do with it.
28:59Why do you stay in here then?
29:01I can't get out.
29:02You could get out if you wanted to get out.
29:04I can't.
29:05I tried.
29:06I can't.
29:07I tried and I can't.
29:08How do I get in?
29:09Through a door.
29:10Then go out a door.
29:12I can't. There are no doors.
29:14Go out the door I came in.
29:16I can't.
29:17Why not?
29:18Because that's your door.
29:26You make me sick.
29:37In Congress,
29:39the people say,
29:40we've got to put the congress building on the wall.
29:43It's like you didn't want to do what you were.
29:45I just wanted to do it.
29:46It was a cool idea.
29:48Why don't the Suggers do it?
29:50The only thing they say is,
29:51the Suggers are talking for you.
29:53It's a good thing that you thought.
29:55It's a good thing that you thought.
29:57I'm not gonna do it.
29:58I'm not gonna do it.
29:59I'm not gonna do it.
30:00I'm not gonna do it.
30:01I'm not gonna do it.
30:02I'm not gonna do it.
30:03I'm not gonna do it.
30:05Here they are.
30:11Hi there! I was wondering where you were.
30:13How's the party?
30:15Good.
30:26It had no dramatic value,
30:27no structure at all.
30:29They didn't care for the ending.
30:30What's the point of it all?
30:32And on top of all that, they paint everybody's scale.
30:37Gin and tonic, anyone?
30:38Yes, I'll have one.
30:43Oh, it's useless, you know.
30:45He's projected.
30:47What do you mean, projected?
30:48Well, every one of us has a certain image we project to others, right?
30:53Uh...
30:54Well, this is the image we project.
30:57Well, none of us are real. He's not real. We're all projected.
31:02I'm not projected.
31:04What did you say?
31:06I said I'm not projected.
31:09I'm not projected.
31:11I'm... I am... I'm not projected.
31:14I'm...
31:17Projected.
31:18Projected.
31:29Has it ever occurred to you that maybe you have died?
31:33And this is what death is?
31:40Well, young man, have you had enough?
31:43Yes.
31:44Sit down. Sit down.
31:48Then you finally figured out what's happening here, hmm?
31:51No.
31:52Oh, that's a shame. We'd like to release you as soon as possible.
31:55Do you mean if I figure it out, I can go?
31:58That is one of the things you'll have to figure out.
32:00And that's the kind of a remark I'm getting sick of.
32:03This whole thing just isn't real.
32:05Define reality.
32:06Nah.
32:07Look, is this hammer real?
32:09Yes. No. Maybe...
32:12Possibly all three. Now consider this.
32:16If you were to magnify this hammer's head,
32:18you would see the geometric latticework of the molecules permeated by space.
32:22Here we go.
32:23And yet, inside the molecules, we see the atoms.
32:26And inside the atoms, we see protons, positrons, neutrons, mesons, mu-mesons, pi-mesons.
32:33And in none of them anywhere can you find anything that you could call a real thing, an actual speck,
32:38a thing that you can hold or touch.
32:40You're absolutely right.
32:42This hammer, it doesn't exist.
32:45Then how do you explain this?
32:50Your trouble is, you will not accept a paradox.
32:55Hey, what's going on here?
32:58I'm sorry about the hole, Arnold.
33:00Sure, sure, you're sorry.
33:02But I gotta fix it.
33:04Here's your hammer back.
33:07Now then, let us consider some of the paradoxes of science.
33:11Anything you say.
33:12In subatomic physics, science knows for a fact that certain electrons may move from one point to another.
33:18But, observe.
33:19Although the electron is sometimes here, and may move to here, it is never in between.
33:27Wait a minute, that's impossible.
33:30It's gotta be in between when it's moving.
33:32It isn't.
33:33But it's impossible!
33:35I know.
33:36But it happens.
33:37The whole theory of quantum physics is based on it, you know.
33:40The old guy's flipped, he's good.
33:43Yeah, the marbles have finally fallen out.
33:46Stark Raven bananas.
33:48Get back to work.
33:50Now you take another example.
33:52You could join a proton with an antipositron, we would create an atom of antihydrogen.
33:5715 by 27, why?
33:59I should be number 47.
34:01Of course.
34:02A particle and an antiparticle annihilate each other in collision.
34:06That's it, yeah.
34:09Hey, you know you put a number 47 hole in that wall?
34:14Good.
34:15Now what about the unified field theory?
34:18I don't care about it.
34:20Not care about it?
34:22But don't you realize the theological implications in such a set of basic universal postulates?
34:28No.
34:30This is appalling.
34:32Have you no desire to come to grips with the elemental structural foundation of existence?
34:39What kind of a man are you?
34:42I hope you'll rot in this jewel.
34:50Work like a dog to make this a pleasant place, and what do you get for it?
34:56People have no respect for property.
34:59And many scientific experiments.
35:01Who cares what reality is?
35:03Ah.
35:05Ah.
35:06Pretty good fit, eh, pal?
35:08Well, I guess that's it.
35:10Oh, that guy's a real pain in the neck.
35:13It's a good thing he doesn't exist.
35:19Hi there.
35:20May I come in?
35:24Do you mind if I sit down?
35:29No.
35:31No, I'm...
35:36Yeah, I really feel sorry for you.
35:38You know, I've been looking for a moment when I could slip in here and talk to you.
35:41I hope you don't mind.
35:42No, no, of course not.
35:44Well, can I do anything for you?
35:46Like, do you need anything?
35:48I would like to get out of here, but you're not going to tell me how, right?
35:52Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm really not allowed to talk about that.
35:56I can only give you a hint.
35:58What's that?
36:00It's going to get worse before it gets better.
36:03Swell.
36:05Well, listen, if you expect the worst, sometimes you get a pleasant surprise.
36:11Do you know what I mean?
36:13Yeah.
36:14Yeah.
36:15Well, let me give you another hint.
36:17What's that?
36:18Don't trust anybody.
36:21Don't trust the manager or Arnie.
36:24Don't even trust me.
36:28You know, do you ever say to yourself,
36:31I wonder if I can trust him, eh?
36:35Yeah, well, don't.
36:37To thine own self be true.
36:40Remember that?
36:42Yeah, well, nobody is.
36:44Especially if you try not to be when you are.
36:47I'm not sure I follow that.
36:49It's because everyone is a liar.
36:52I'm a liar.
36:54I'm lying right now.
36:56Because people aren't what they say they are.
36:59Oh, you're not what you say you are, are you?
37:03I'm not sure.
37:05That's a lie.
37:07You know, but you pretend to think that you're not sure.
37:10And that's copping out.
37:13I hadn't really meant it that way.
37:15There's only one thing worse than copping out.
37:18And that's being wishy-washy.
37:20Now you're being wishy-washy.
37:22You're changing, aren't you?
37:26You're changing right in front of me.
37:28Everybody changes, kid.
37:30You've got to get used to that.
37:32Change is what's happening to the world.
37:34The only people who can't adapt themselves to change
37:37are the chickens of the world.
37:39The lily-livered chickens.
37:43Listen, Rhode Island Rat, or whatever the hell your name is,
37:46just remember what happens to chickens.
37:48They get their heads cut off.
37:56Ha, ha, ha!
38:06Pardon me, sir.
38:08What do you want now?
38:10Your time is up, sir.
38:12What's that supposed to mean?
38:14Well, sir, you only signed up for a certain amount of time,
38:17and I'm afraid you've already overstayed it.
38:19I never signed anything.
38:21Please, sir, I must ask you to leave.
38:23Leave?
38:25Do you mean I can leave if I want to?
38:27Yes, I'm afraid you must.
38:29You see, there are others waiting to use the facilities.
38:31Of course, if you wish to make a reservation for some future time.
38:35Do you mean to tell me that I can just walk out that door?
38:38Of course. That's your door.
38:50I don't trust you.
38:52I don't know what you mean, sir.
38:54Anything in this place is a trick.
38:56Please, sir, it's getting late.
38:58Can't we talk about this outside?
39:00How stupid do you think I am?
39:02Oh, really, sir.
39:04Oh, really? Don't give me that.
39:06I can see you fellas planning it now.
39:08If all else fails, we can always use the old, um...
39:10Wouldn't you like to leave now, sir?
39:14Wouldn't you like to leave, sir?
39:17Well, wouldn't you, sir?
39:25If this is a trick,
39:27I'm personally going to tear you into little, tiny pieces.
39:30I really don't understand, sir.
39:32What kind of a trick can it possibly be?
39:34How about this one?
39:36The minute I step foot outside this door,
39:39two gorillas grab me, dressed in ballet costumes,
39:42drag me back and throw me on the floor
39:44and dance around me singing, um,
39:46Home Sweet Home.
39:48How about that one?
39:50Would that qualify me for the job?
39:52How about that one?
39:54Would that qualify me for a job in this asylum, huh?
39:57Do you mean to say you're not going to walk out that door?
40:03You just remember.
40:05Little, tiny pieces.
40:16What is like the cube?
40:19Get out!
40:21Get out!
40:23You know, sir,
40:25you're getting quite good at predicting these things.
40:49Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
40:51It's a pleasure to be here.
40:53It certainly is.
40:54Hey, Eddie, where did you get that coat?
40:56You like it?
40:57I borrowed it from my cousin, the great bank clerk.
40:59That's ridiculous.
41:00If a bank clerk wore that coat, he'd be fired.
41:02That's why he's drunk.
41:04Hey, Eddie, what's the matter with you?
41:06You look terrible.
41:07You're right. I feel awful.
41:08Well, come on. Let's have a look at you.
41:09Stick out your tongue.
41:10Farther. Farther.
41:11I can't. It's tied on the back.
41:13Well, that's your trouble.
41:14You're tongue-tied.
41:16Keep it up, folks.
41:17If you stop laughing, he might sing.
41:19Hey, Eddie, that's an excellent idea.
41:21Hold on.
41:22You're not going to sing for these people?
41:23Sure.
41:24Why? What did they ever do to you?
41:26Come on, Eddie. I sing pretty good.
41:28That's true, folks.
41:30I have them over to my apartment every month to sing.
41:32That's right.
41:33It kills the cockroaches.
41:37He was singing in a wedge last year
41:38and five moose proposed to him.
41:43And I'll tell you,
41:44it's hard to turn down a moose's proposal.
42:04You're not laughing.
42:05Why aren't you laughing?
42:06Other people laugh.
42:08We're funny.
42:09We play all the best nightclubs.
42:11We do all the top television shows.
42:13We're the best there is.
42:15Don't you think we're funny?
42:17Well, I...
42:19I guess I just didn't feel like laughing.
42:44You're never going to get out of here.
42:46You're never going to get out of here.
42:48You're never going to get out of here.
42:50You're never going to get out of here.
42:52You're never going to get out of here.
42:54You're never going to get out of here.
42:56You're never going to get out of here.
42:58You're never going to get out of here.
43:00You're never going to get out of here.
43:02You're never going to get out of here.
43:04You're never going to get out of here.
43:06You're never going to get out of here.
43:08You're never going to get out of here.
43:10You're never going to get out of here.
43:13You have three minutes.
43:21Who are you?
43:23I am no one.
43:25I am a vessel, a pitcher filled with the elixir of peace.
43:29I bring this gift to you.
43:31You did, huh?
43:33Now, in these final hours, I bring you the hope of all.
43:37Final hours of what?
43:39Final hours of what?
43:41Well spoken, my brother, perhaps.
43:44There is no time, no space, no death.
43:48There is only all.
43:50There is only is.
43:52Do I have to listen to this?
43:54Do not struggle. Death is nothing.
43:57Death?
43:59What you have to face is already gone,
44:01like ripples on a river whose coming and going no man can record.
44:05You are part of the all.
44:07That is all there is.
44:09All is all.
44:11Is is.
44:13It is?
44:15I give you the Ramadar.
44:19Think on this.
44:25Meditate on the Ramadar,
44:27and it will bring you peace.
44:30Think on the Ramadar, and it will bring you all.
44:33Think on the Ramadar, and it will bring you is.
44:37Is is, it is, it is all.
44:41Is is, it is, it is all.
44:51All right.
44:53All right, I've had enough!
44:55You win.
44:57I give up!
44:58Do you understand?
45:01Shut up!
45:03Shit!
45:08Oh!
45:27Strawberry jam!
45:31Hiya, pal. How you doing?
45:34What's going on?
45:37Oh.
45:39You broke your Ramadar.
45:43Oh, well.
45:45Most people do. These things are awful hard to take.
45:49Beep, beep, beep from morning till night.
45:53The only way to quieten them is to let the batteries run down.
45:58They'll drive you up the wall.
46:01Hey, listen, pal.
46:04Any time you want another one of these things,
46:07you just let me know, eh?
46:09I got a whole room full of them.
46:33I got a whole room full of them.
47:03Fuck.
47:33Fuck.
48:03Fuck.
48:06Fuck.
48:17Fuck.
48:20Fuck.
48:31Hey, hey, don't you see? This is all a joke, a gag.
48:35You son of a bitch.
48:37Oh, you'll feel better after you've had that.
48:40Hey, you can't take that.
48:43All right. All right, now listen to me.
48:47I don't know who you are or what you are,
48:51but I'll tell you something. I've had it.
48:54I'm sick of your funny little jokes, your games.
49:02I've had it with your gorillas, your intellectual hogwash,
49:06your priests, your...
49:09your chocolate rabbits.
49:12I am sick of people pretending to be one thing
49:15and changing into something else.
49:20You're probably a man, right?
49:23You're a mailman, undoubtedly.
49:29Look, I don't know why you're doing this
49:32or what the hell you think it means.
49:36I don't really care.
49:39I suppose what you're trying to do is drive me completely insane.
49:43And for a while, you did a very good job.
49:46For a while, I didn't know which end was up.
49:49I doubted my sanity, my identity,
49:53my very existence.
49:57But you know what? I don't any longer.
50:00Because no matter what goes on around me, I know me.
50:04I know who I am, and you can't take that away from me.
50:08Your hair. No, that's not me.
50:11I've seen your bag of tricks, and I'm up to here with them.
50:14But what you can't do,
50:17what you cannot do is touch that part of me
50:20who knows exactly who I am.
50:22And you know who I am?
50:25I'll tell you.
50:27I'm the guy who's gonna walk out that door right now.
50:42Congratulations.
50:44Actually, it didn't take you as long as we thought it would.
50:48It's funny.
50:50I thought I was never gonna see the outside world again.
50:53Come on to my office. I can sign your release, and you can be on your way.
50:59Sit down.
51:02Oh, uh, cigarette?
51:12Well, now you know what reality is.
51:16I guess so.
51:18I'm still not sure what all that was about.
51:21Well, it's all quite fresh to you now.
51:24You know, I've been thinking about it.
51:27I'm still not sure what all that was about.
51:29Well, it's all quite fresh to you now.
51:32But I believe you'll find as you think about it,
51:35it'll make more and more sense.
51:37It was such a revelation when I realized that
51:40this was me.
51:42I mean, this is real. It's me.
51:45When I hit it, I hurt.
51:48If I cut myself, I bleed.
51:51Hey, I actually cut myself.
51:55But look, I bleed.
51:57Taste it.
52:07It's strawberry jam.
52:09Exactly.
52:25It's strawberry jam.
52:55It's strawberry jam.
52:57It's strawberry jam.
52:59It's strawberry jam.
53:01It's strawberry jam.
53:03It's strawberry jam.
53:05It's strawberry jam.
53:07It's strawberry jam.
53:09It's strawberry jam.
53:11It's strawberry jam.
53:13It's strawberry jam.
53:15It's strawberry jam.
53:17It's strawberry jam.
53:19It's strawberry jam.
53:21It's strawberry jam.
53:23It's strawberry jam.
53:25It's strawberry jam.
53:27It's strawberry jam.
