stop thinking about it.Copy !req
78. I know it.Copy !req
79. It's...Copy !req
80. it's just different with me.Copy !req
81. You mean
you want to die?Copy !req
82. No.Copy !req
83. Well, it ain't different
with you.Copy !req
84. So don't
kid yourself.Copy !req
85. Sometimes
I wonder, too,Copy !req
86. what it's going
to be like.Copy !req
87. I'll tell you what it's like.Copy !req
88. You walk out of your cell,
pass two gray doors,Copy !req
89. 78 steps to the final door.Copy !req
90. It's painted green.Copy !req
91. There's a guard
that opens the door for you,Copy !req
92. and you go into a room.Copy !req
93. It's tan.Copy !req
94. It's all tan.Copy !req
95. There's nothing in it
except one chair.Copy !req
96. It's like a chair
you used to sit inCopy !req
97. when you were a kid.Copy !req
98. It's hard and solid.Copy !req
99. Ah, cut it out, cut it out.Copy !req
100. They strap your arms and legs.Copy !req
101. Then they attach the electrodes.Copy !req
102. It's funny.Copy !req
103. They always feel cold
to the touch at first.Copy !req
104. Aw, grant,
you talkCopy !req
105. like you been
through it already.Copy !req
106. Then they
drop the mask.Copy !req
107. It's musty.Copy !req
108. It smells like
an old sofa.Copy !req
109. And then you wait...Copy !req
110. every muscle tense,Copy !req
111. straining.Copy !req
112. Any second,
any second...Copy !req
113. then you can almost hear it.Copy !req
114. They pull the switch.Copy !req
115. Madame.Copy !req
116. I am a poor
lost travelerCopy !req
117. seeking food
and lodging for the night.Copy !req
118. You're loaded.Copy !req
119. Hank, I've just been
insulted by your wife.Copy !req
120. She's says I'm loaded.Copy !req
121. Well, aren't you?Copy !req
122. That has nothing
to do with it.Copy !req
123. Hey, hey,
take it easy.Copy !req
124. That's
my best gin.Copy !req
125. Dear friends,
when I dieCopy !req
126. I don't want to see
any full bottles around.Copy !req
127. That's
not funny.Copy !req
128. It wasn't meant to be.Copy !req
129. It was meant
to be a commentCopy !req
130. on the short, unhappy
life of paul carson.Copy !req
131. Come...Copy !req
132. drink and be merry,Copy !req
133. for tomorrow...Copy !req
134. oh, shut up, paul.Copy !req
135. Sorry.Copy !req
136. Well, only a few more hours.Copy !req
137. I knew it.Copy !req
138. I knew it the minute
you walked in.Copy !req
139. We're not nervous enough.Copy !req
140. Oh, no, we have to listenCopy !req
141. to the great city editor
with his news behind the news.Copy !req
142. If I'm not
welcome here,Copy !req
143. then I shall
go elsewhereCopy !req
144. and breathe
my last...Copy !req
145. oh, never mind.Copy !req
146. I've had enough
of this wake anyway.Copy !req
147. Good night, dear.Copy !req
148. What about dinner?Copy !req
149. Lost my appetite.Copy !req
150. Oh, the steak
can come outCopy !req
151. in five
minutes.Copy !req
152. Hank.Copy !req
153. Now, don't start it.Copy !req
154. I've got to start it.Copy !req
155. I'm not upset
or disturbedCopy !req
156. or nervous anymore.Copy !req
157. I'm scared.Copy !req
158. That's ridiculous.Copy !req
159. I know it is,
I know it is,Copy !req
160. but that
doesn't help.Copy !req
161. Do you mean to sayCopy !req
162. you believe
that crazy story?Copy !req
163. God, help me,
hank, but I do.Copy !req
164. At least, I believe
it's possible.Copy !req
165. Well, why not?Copy !req
166. Can we prove
he's wrong?Copy !req
167. Maybe not,
but that's a poor reasonCopy !req
168. for believing
in anything.Copy !req
169. I can't proveCopy !req
170. that the world
isn't going to end.Copy !req
171. But it isn't.Copy !req
172. This guy killed
a man in cold blood,Copy !req
173. and he's going
to pay for it.Copy !req
174. Those are the facts.Copy !req
175. Anything else is
speculation, fantasy.Copy !req
176. Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.Copy !req
177. Then what are you
so steamed up about?Copy !req
178. I...
I'll tell you why.Copy !req
179. Because a little
part of you believes, too.Copy !req
180. Just a little, tiny part
of henry ritchie saysCopy !req
181. "maybe this grant
is right.Copy !req
182. Maybe this is
all a dream."Copy !req
183. The thought has
occurred to you, hasn't it?Copy !req
184. Hank, haven't you
ever stoppedCopy !req
185. and said,
"this couldn't be real.Copy !req
186. "I couldn't be
the district attorney.Copy !req
187. "I couldn't have
a lovely wife like carolCopy !req
188. "and a lovely home,
money in the bank,Copy !req
189. not in any real world."Copy !req
190. Haven't you, hank?Copy !req
191. Well, of course.
Everyone has.Copy !req
192. If you're a success,Copy !req
193. you're bound to
think it's a dream.Copy !req
194. If not, you think
it's a nightmare.Copy !req
195. This only proves
that grant is human.Copy !req
196. He can't believe
what's happening to himCopy !req
197. so he tries to
convince himselfCopy !req
198. that it isn't,
not really.Copy !req
199. Yeah, that's what
I thought too at first.Copy !req
200. But hank, I been talking
to this kid a lot lately,Copy !req
201. and he makes sense.Copy !req
202. Go down and see
for yourself.Copy !req
203. Don't take my
word for it.Copy !req
204. It wouldn't do
any good.Copy !req
205. You only listened
to him once.Copy !req
206. That was enough.Copy !req
207. Hank, for my
sake, please,Copy !req
208. go and see him.Copy !req
209. Let him tell you.Copy !req
210. Please, hank.Copy !req
211. It's pointless but...Copy !req
212. thanks.Copy !req
213. Jiggs.Copy !req
214. Jiggs!Copy !req
215. Yeah?Copy !req
216. What time
is it?Copy !req
217. 9:05.Copy !req
218. Why, you got a date somewhere?Copy !req
219. No, I'm just expecting someone.Copy !req
220. The governor,
right?Copy !req
221. With a nice fat pardon
in his fist.Copy !req
222. No, it's the district attorney.Copy !req
223. He usually comes around
about 9:00.Copy !req
224. Oh, you don't say?Copy !req
225. The d.a. Himself, huh?Copy !req
226. Yeah, yeah, the d.a. Himself.Copy !req
227. You got a great
sense of humor, pal.Copy !req
228. Wait a minute.Copy !req
229. There's something else
that doesn't work-Copy !req
230. the watch.Copy !req
231. Yeah, how is that?Copy !req
232. Prisoners about
to be executedCopy !req
233. aren't allowed
to wear watchesCopy !req
234. because of the glass.Copy !req
235. You see, he's right
on time, huh, jiggs?Copy !req
236. Ten minutes, mr. Ritchie.Copy !req
237. All right.
You can leave us alone.Copy !req
238. Hello, grant.Copy !req
239. Hello, mr. Ritchie.Copy !req
240. You don't seem
surprised to see me.Copy !req
241. I'm not-
you always come.Copy !req
242. I mean, the district
attorney always comes.Copy !req
243. It isn't always you.Copy !req
244. Grant.Copy !req
245. Yes?Copy !req
246. I take it you're
sticking toCopy !req
247. this dream
story of yours.Copy !req
248. That's right.Copy !req
249. It can't possibly
do you any good now.Copy !req
250. You realize...Copy !req
251. I should,
after all this timeCopy !req
252. every night,
I explain.Copy !req
253. Every night,
it's the same.Copy !req
254. All right,
explain again.Copy !req
255. Well, it's very simple.Copy !req
256. When I die, you die,Copy !req
257. and everybody in this world diesCopy !req
258. because this world
does not exist.Copy !req
259. It's a dream of mine.Copy !req
260. It's a nightmare.Copy !req
261. Can't you
understand that?Copy !req
262. No, grant,
I can't understand that.Copy !req
263. Not because it's a new idea.Copy !req
264. I can't understand it
or accept itCopy !req
265. because it doesn't make
any kind of logical sense.Copy !req
266. But it does.Copy !req
267. It's the only thing
that does make logical sense.Copy !req
268. Take you, for instance.Copy !req
269. You think
you'd be visiting a manCopy !req
270. that was just about
to be executed in real life?Copy !req
271. Of course not.Copy !req
272. They wouldn't
allow you in here.Copy !req
273. Or you take me.Copy !req
274. You don't know
any more about meCopy !req
275. than you did when this
thing started- I'm a stranger.Copy !req
276. There are a hundred
vagrants in every townCopy !req
277. without names,
without histories.Copy !req
278. Stop that!Copy !req
279. We knowCopy !req
280. you're
mentally sound.Copy !req
281. And I don't thinkCopy !req
282. you're deliberately lying to me.Copy !req
283. I'm going
to destroyCopy !req
284. that story of
yours, grant, nowCopy !req
285. once and for all.Copy !req
286. You say that all
this is a dream,Copy !req
287. and that when you're
electrocuted you wake up,Copy !req
288. and when you wake up,
we all disappear, right?Copy !req
289. That's right.Copy !req
290. What about our parents
and our parents' parentsCopy !req
291. and everybody who never
even heard of you?Copy !req
292. What about them,
mr. Ritchie?Copy !req
293. A dream builds
its own world, mr. Ritchie.Copy !req
294. It's complete.Copy !req
295. With a past, and, as long as
you stay asleep, a future.Copy !req
296. What about us then
when we sleep and dream?Copy !req
297. Or is that when
you're up and around?Copy !req
298. You only sleep and dream
because I dream you that way.Copy !req
299. All right, now answer me this.Copy !req
300. You're scared now- why?Copy !req
301. Why are you scared?Copy !req
302. You've got to wake up sometime
even if you're electrocuted.Copy !req
303. So why don't you just
sit back and enjoy it?Copy !req
304. Enjoy it.Copy !req
305. Let me tell
you something.Copy !req
306. Mr. Ritchie,
how soundly do you sleep?Copy !req
307. What's that got...?Copy !req
308. You dream,
don't you?Copy !req
309. Certainly, sometimes.Copy !req
310. Haven't you ever been hurt
in one of those dreams?Copy !req
311. Fallen out of a window
or been drowned or tortured?Copy !req
312. You have!Copy !req
313. Don't you remember
how real it had seemed?Copy !req
314. Remember how you
woke up screaming?Copy !req
315. Well, let me ask you something,
mr. Ritchie.Copy !req
316. How do you like to wake up
screaming every night?Copy !req
317. That's what I do.Copy !req
318. Because I dream the same dream
night after night after night!Copy !req
319. It's this one!Copy !req
320. It changes a little bit.Copy !req
321. The people get twisted around,
but it's the same dream.Copy !req
322. You've got to believe me!Copy !req
323. I can't
go on dying!Copy !req
324. I can't go
on dying!Copy !req
325. I can't,
I can't...Copy !req
326. I'm telling the
truth, mr. Ritchie!Copy !req
327. Please, let me live and
I'll keep you alive.Copy !req
328. I'll dream you every
night just like this.Copy !req
329. Wait a minute!
I'll prove it to you.Copy !req
330. You wife,
she has a steak cooking for you.Copy !req
331. Go home, look
in the oven.Copy !req
332. It'll be
something else.Copy !req
333. Please!Copy !req
334. Well?Copy !req
335. What's wrong, hank?Copy !req
336. That's a roast.Copy !req
337. What about it?Copy !req
338. Hank, what about it?Copy !req
339. Grant.Copy !req
340. Huh?Copy !req
341. Did I wake you up?Copy !req
342. No.Copy !req
343. What's funny?Copy !req
344. Nothing's funny.Copy !req
345. Well, you was laughing.Copy !req
346. I heard ya.Copy !req
347. Hey, grant, listen,Copy !req
348. I been thinking about
what you said,Copy !req
349. about this all being a dream
and all.Copy !req
350. Well, now, maybe it won't work,Copy !req
351. but if you told that story
to the governor,Copy !req
352. he might let you out
on a psycho.Copy !req
353. He wouldn't believe me.Copy !req
354. You don't believe me,
do you, jiggs?Copy !req
355. Oh, that's got nothing
to do with it.Copy !req
356. If you think it's true, see,Copy !req
357. why, then you got a loose cog
somewhere,Copy !req
358. and they don't burn guys
with loose cogs.Copy !req
359. What if I proved it to you?Copy !req
360. How?Copy !req
361. Well, jiggs, don't you think
that all of this is just...Copy !req
362. just a little bit too much
the way it should be?Copy !req
363. I don't get you.Copy !req
364. Well, I mean
it's so pat.Copy !req
365. I got tried and sentenced
the same day.Copy !req
366. It doesn't work like that.Copy !req
367. But you see that's the way
that I saw it in my mindCopy !req
368. and so that's the way it is.Copy !req
369. Or you take this place here-Copy !req
370. you and coley
and his harmonica,Copy !req
371. or phillips
and his mother.Copy !req
372. It's like a movie.Copy !req
373. Real death houses
aren't like that.Copy !req
374. But you see, I've never
been in a real death houseCopy !req
375. so that's...
that's my impression of it.Copy !req
376. Man, you've really flipped.Copy !req
377. I don't know
what you're talking about.Copy !req
378. Well, the brothers
grimm, as I live...Copy !req
379. what are
you doing up?Copy !req
380. I'm not up.Copy !req
381. I'm down, just like you
and your funny friend here.Copy !req
382. Have they...?Copy !req
383. 15 more minutes.Copy !req
384. That's another thing.Copy !req
385. Why does this always
happen around midnight?Copy !req
386. Because that's
when it happens.Copy !req
387. Yeah, but why?
You tell me why.Copy !req
388. According to grant,Copy !req
389. he doesn't know anything
about these mattersCopy !req
390. except what he
sees in the movies.Copy !req
391. In the movies, it always
happens at midnight.Copy !req
392. Because movies
are technically accurate.Copy !req
393. That's strange, too,
come to think of it.Copy !req
394. Then don't come
to think of it.Copy !req
395. Hey, screws,
you're wasting your time.Copy !req
396. You can't kill him.Copy !req
397. You want to know why?Copy !req
398. I'll tell you why.Copy !req
399. Because you're nothing
but dreams. Dreams!Copy !req
400. You hear that, screws?Copy !req
401. Is there anything
you wish to sayCopy !req
402. in these few moments
remaining to you, my son?Copy !req
403. No.Copy !req
404. Then let us pray.Copy !req
405. There's no need.Copy !req
406. There's always a need
for prayer, my son.Copy !req
407. Only in the real world,
father,Copy !req
408. not in a nightmare.Copy !req
409. You feel detached
from reality?Copy !req
410. I not only feel it-
I am detached.Copy !req
411. I wonder where I've seen you,
where your face came from.Copy !req
412. It's familiar.Copy !req
413. Almost every timeCopy !req
414. it just about
comes to me.Copy !req
415. We've never met.Copy !req
416. Oh, yes...Copy !req
417. yes, we have.Copy !req
418. Father beamon.Copy !req
419. Of course,
father beamonCopy !req
420. from over
at spring hill.Copy !req
421. No wonder
I didn't recognize you.Copy !req
422. You died
when I was ten years old.Copy !req
423. Oh, everybody
came to your funeral.Copy !req
424. My name is
beamon but...Copy !req
425. yes, and then
a young priest cameCopy !req
426. and took your place...Copy !req
427. that was carson.Copy !req
428. You know,
I'm using himCopy !req
429. for the editor.Copy !req
430. Be still, my son.Copy !req
431. But what about ritchie,
the district attorney?Copy !req
432. He must have been
a schoolteacher of mine.Copy !req
433. Maybe he was a friend of dad's.Copy !req
434. Hey, grant,
they can't do this to you.Copy !req
435. You're home in bed, asleep.Copy !req
436. Remember?Copy !req
437. Grant! Grant!Copy !req
438. It's time to wake up, boy.Copy !req
439. Wake up! Wake up!Copy !req
440. You could at least get
a stay of execution.Copy !req
441. I know you can do that.Copy !req
442. What good
would it do?Copy !req
443. We'd simply
