1. There was me.Copy !req
2. That is, Alex,
and my three droogs.Copy !req
3. That is, Pete, Georgie and Dim.Copy !req
4. And we sat in the
Korova Milk Bar...Copy !req
5. trying to make up
our rassoodocks...Copy !req
6. what to do with the evening.Copy !req
7. The Korova Milk Bar sold milk plus.Copy !req
8. Milk plus vellocet or
synthemesc or drencrom...Copy !req
9. which is what we were drinking.Copy !req
10. This would sharpen you up...Copy !req
11. and make you ready for a bit
of the old ultra-violence.Copy !req
12. One thing I could never stand...Copy !req
13. was to see a filthy,
dirty old drunkie...Copy !req
14. howling away at the
filthy songs of his fathers...Copy !req
15. and going "blerp blerp"
in between...Copy !req
16. as it might be a filthy, old
orchestra in his stinking, rotten guts.Copy !req
17. I could never stand to see anyone
like that, whatever his age might be.Copy !req
18. But more especially when he
was real old, like this one was.Copy !req
19. Can you spare some cutter,
me brothers?Copy !req
20. Go on! Do me in,
you bastard cowards!Copy !req
21. I don't want to live anyway.Copy !req
22. Not in a stinking world like this.Copy !req
23. And what's so stinking about it?Copy !req
24. It's a stinking world because
there's no law and order anymore!Copy !req
25. It's a stinking world because it lets
the young get onto the old...Copy !req
26. like you done!Copy !req
27. It's no world
for an old man any longer.Copy !req
28. What kind of a world is it at all?Copy !req
29. Men on the moon...Copy !req
30. and men spinning around the earth.Copy !req
31. And there's not no
attention paid...Copy !req
32. to earthly
law and order no more.Copy !req
33. - Right. Get her clothes.
- No!Copy !req
34. It was around by the derelict casino
that we came across Billy-boy...Copy !req
35. and his four droogs.Copy !req
36. They were about to perform
a little of the old...Copy !req
37. in-out, in-out on a weepy
young devotchka they had there.Copy !req
38. No!Copy !req
39. Ho, ho, ho!Copy !req
40. Well, if it isn't...Copy !req
41. fat, stinking...Copy !req
42. Billy goat Billy-boy in poison.Copy !req
43. How are thou...Copy !req
44. thou globby bottle of cheap,
stinking chip-oil?Copy !req
45. Come and get one in the yarbles...Copy !req
46. if you have any yarbles...Copy !req
47. you eunuch jelly, thou.Copy !req
48. Let's get them, boys!Copy !req
49. The police!Copy !req
50. Come on. Let's go!Copy !req
51. The Durango 95 purred away
real horrorshow.Copy !req
52. A nice warm vibratey feeling
all through your guttiwuts.Copy !req
53. Soon it was trees and dark,
my brothers...Copy !req
54. with real country dark.Copy !req
55. We fillied around for a while with other
travelers of the night...Copy !req
56. playing Hogs of the Road.Copy !req
57. Then we headed west.Copy !req
58. What we were after now
was the old surprise visit.Copy !req
59. That was a real kick...Copy !req
60. and good for laughs and
lashings of the old ultra-violent.Copy !req
61. Who on earth could that be?Copy !req
62. I'll go and see.Copy !req
63. Yes, who is it?Copy !req
64. Excuse me, missis, can you please help?
There's been a terrible accident!Copy !req
65. My friend's in the road bleeding to death!
Can I please use your telephone?Copy !req
66. Sorry, we don't have a telephone.
You'll have to go somewhere else.Copy !req
67. But, missis, it's a matter
of life and death!Copy !req
68. Who is it, dear?Copy !req
69. There's a young man.
He says there's been an accident.Copy !req
70. He wants to use the telephone.Copy !req
71. Well, I suppose you better let him in.Copy !req
72. Well, wait a minute, will you?Copy !req
73. I'm sorry, but we don't usually
let strangers in in the middle...Copy !req
74. What do you want from me?Copy !req
75. Right, Pete, check the rest
of the house. Dim.Copy !req
76. Viddy well, little brother.Copy !req
77. Viddy well.Copy !req
78. We were all feeling a bit
shagged and fagged and fashed...Copy !req
79. it having been an evening of some small
energy expenditure, O my brothers.Copy !req
80. So we got rid of the auto...Copy !req
81. and stopped off at the Korova
for a nightcap.Copy !req
82. Hello, Lucy.Copy !req
83. Had a busy night?Copy !req
84. We've been working hard too.Copy !req
85. Pardon me, Luce.Copy !req
86. There was some sophistos from
the TV studios around the corner...Copy !req
87. laughing and govoreeting.Copy !req
88. The devotchka smeched away...Copy !req
89. not caring about
the wicked world one bit.Copy !req
90. Then the disk on the stereo
twanged off and out.Copy !req
91. And in the short silence
before the next one came on...Copy !req
92. she suddenly came
with a burst of singing.Copy !req
93. And it was, like, for a moment,
O my brothers...Copy !req
94. some great bird
had flown into the milk bar.Copy !req
95. And I felt all the malenky
little hairs on my plott...Copy !req
96. standing endwise.Copy !req
97. And the shivers crawling up
like slow, malenky lizards...Copy !req
98. and then down again.Copy !req
99. Because I knew what she sang.Copy !req
100. It was a bit from
the glorious 9th, by Ludwig van.Copy !req
101. What did you do that for?Copy !req
102. For being a bastard
with no manners.Copy !req
103. Without a dook of an idea about how to
comport yourself public-wise, O my brother.Copy !req
104. I don't like you should
do what you done.Copy !req
105. And I'm not your brother no more
and wouldn't wanna be.Copy !req
106. Watch that.Copy !req
107. Do watch that, O Dim...Copy !req
108. if to continue to be on live
thou dost wish.Copy !req
109. Yarbles!Copy !req
110. Great, bouncy yarblockos to you!Copy !req
111. I'll meet you with chain
or nozh or britva anytime.Copy !req
112. I'm not having you aiming
tolchocks at me reasonless.Copy !req
113. It stands to reason,
I won't have it.Copy !req
114. A nozh scrap anytime you say.Copy !req
115. Doobidoob.Copy !req
116. A bit tired maybe.Copy !req
117. Best not to say more.Copy !req
118. Bedways is rightways now.Copy !req
119. So best we go homeways
and get a bit of spatchka.Copy !req
120. Right, right?Copy !req
121. - Right, right.
- Right, right.Copy !req
122. Right, right.Copy !req
123. Where I lived was with
my dada and mum...Copy !req
124. in municipal flat block
18-A Linear North.Copy !req
125. It had been a wonderful evening.Copy !req
126. And what I needed now
to give it the perfect ending...Copy !req
127. was a bit
of the old Ludwig van.Copy !req
128. Oh, bliss!Copy !req
129. Bliss and heaven!Copy !req
130. Oh, it was gorgeousness and
gorgeosity made flesh.Copy !req
131. It was like a bird
of rarest spun, heaven metal.Copy !req
132. Or like silvery wine
flowing in a spaceship...Copy !req
133. gravity all nonsense now.Copy !req
134. As I slooshied...Copy !req
135. I knew such lovely pictures.Copy !req
136. Alex. Alex!Copy !req
137. Alex!Copy !req
138. Alex!Copy !req
139. What do you want?Copy !req
140. It's past 8, Alex.Copy !req
141. You don't want to be
late for school, son.Copy !req
142. Bit of a pain in the gulliver, Mum.Copy !req
143. Leave us be,
and I'll try and sleep it off.Copy !req
144. And then I'll be as right
as dodgers for this after.Copy !req
145. But you've not been
to school all week, son.Copy !req
146. Got to rest, Mum.Copy !req
147. Got to get fit.Copy !req
148. Otherwise I'm liable
to miss a lot more school.Copy !req
149. I'll put your breakfast
in the oven.Copy !req
150. I've got to be off meself now.Copy !req
151. All right, Mum.Copy !req
152. Have a nice day at the factory.Copy !req
153. He's not feeling too good
again this morning, Dad.Copy !req
154. Yes. Yes, I heard.Copy !req
155. You know what time he got in?Copy !req
156. No, I don't.
I'd taken me sleepers.Copy !req
157. I wonder...Copy !req
158. where exactly is it
he goes to work of evenings.Copy !req
159. Well, like he says...Copy !req
160. it's mostly odd things he does.Copy !req
161. Helping-like...Copy !req
162. here and there as it might be.Copy !req
163. Hi, hi, hi, Mr. Deltoid.Copy !req
164. Funny surprise, seeing you here.Copy !req
165. Alex-boy.Copy !req
166. Awake at last, yes?Copy !req
167. I met your mother
on the way to work, yes?Copy !req
168. She gave me the key.Copy !req
169. She said something about
a pain somewhere.Copy !req
170. Hence not at school, yes?Copy !req
171. A rather intolerable pain
in the head, brother sir.Copy !req
172. It should be clear
by this afterlunch.Copy !req
173. Or certainly by this evening, yes.Copy !req
174. The evening's the great time,
isn't it, Alex-boy?Copy !req
175. - Cup of the old chai, sir?
- No time, no time, yes.Copy !req
176. Sit, sit, sit!Copy !req
177. To what do I owe
this extreme pleasure, sir?Copy !req
178. Anything wrong, sir?Copy !req
179. Wrong? Why should you
think of anything being wrong?Copy !req
180. Have you been doing
something you shouldn't, yes?Copy !req
181. Just a manner of speech, sir.Copy !req
182. Yes, well, it's just a manner
of speech from your...Copy !req
183. post-corrective advisor to you,
that you watch out, little Alex.Copy !req
184. Because next time it's not going to
be the corrective school anymore.Copy !req
185. Next time it's going to be the Barley
place, and all my work ruined.Copy !req
186. If you've no respect for yourself...Copy !req
187. you at least might have some
for me, who sweated over you.Copy !req
188. A big, black mark, I tell you,
for every one we don't reclaim.Copy !req
189. A confession of failure
for every one of you...Copy !req
190. who ends up in the stripy hole.Copy !req
191. I've been doing nothing I shouldn't.Copy !req
192. The millicents have nothing
on me, brother.Copy !req
193. Sir, I mean.Copy !req
194. Cut out this clever talk
about millicents.Copy !req
195. Just because the police
haven't picked you up...Copy !req
196. doesn't mean that you've not
been up to some nastiness.Copy !req
197. There was a bit
of nastiness last night, yes?Copy !req
198. Some very extreme nastiness, yes?Copy !req
199. A few of a certain Billy-boy's
friends were ambulanced off late, yes.Copy !req
200. Your name was mentioned.Copy !req
201. The words got through to me
by the usual channels.Copy !req
202. Certain friends of yours
were named also.Copy !req
203. Oh, nobody can prove anything
about anybody, as usual.Copy !req
204. I'm warning you, little Alex...Copy !req
205. being a good friend
to you as always...Copy !req
206. the one man in this
sore and sick community...Copy !req
207. who wants to save you
from yourself!Copy !req
208. What gets into you all?Copy !req
209. We've been studying the problem
for damn well near a century.Copy !req
210. But we get no farther
with our studies.Copy !req
211. You got a good home here.
Good, loving parents.Copy !req
212. You've got not too bad of a brain.Copy !req
213. Is it some devil
that crawls inside of you?Copy !req
214. Nobody's got anything on me, brother sir.Copy !req
215. I been out of the millicents'
rookers for a long time.Copy !req
216. That's just what worries me.
A bit too long to be safe.Copy !req
217. You're about due, by my reckoning.Copy !req
218. That's why I'm warning you...Copy !req
219. to keep your handsome
young proboscis out of the dirt.Copy !req
220. Do I make myself clear?Copy !req
221. As an unmuddied lake, sir.Copy !req
222. As clear as an azure sky
of deepest summer.Copy !req
223. You can rely on me, sir.Copy !req
224. Excuse me, brother.Copy !req
225. I ordered this two weeks ago.
Can you see if it's arrived yet, please?Copy !req
226. Just a minute.Copy !req
227. Pardon me, ladies.Copy !req
228. Enjoying that, are you, my darling?Copy !req
229. A bit cold and pointless,
isn't it, my lovely?Copy !req
230. What's happened to yours,
my little sister?Copy !req
231. Who you getting, bratty?Copy !req
232. Goggly Gogol? Johnny Zhivago?
The Heaven 17?Copy !req
233. What you got back home, little sister,
to play your fuzzy warbles on?Copy !req
234. I bet you've got little, say,
pitiful, portable picnic players.Copy !req
235. Come with Uncle
and hear all proper.Copy !req
236. Hear angel trumpets
and devil trombones.Copy !req
237. You are invited.Copy !req
238. - Hi, hi, hi, there.
- Well, hello.Copy !req
239. He are here! He have arrived!Copy !req
240. Hooray!Copy !req
241. Welly, welly, welly,
welly, welly, welly, well.Copy !req
242. To what do I owe
the extreme pleasure...Copy !req
243. of this surprising visit?Copy !req
244. We got worried.Copy !req
245. There we were, waiting and drinking
away at the old knifey moloko...Copy !req
246. and you had not turned up.Copy !req
247. And we thought
you might have been, like...Copy !req
248. offended by something
or other.Copy !req
249. So around we come to your abode.Copy !req
250. Appy polly loggies.Copy !req
251. I had something of a pain
in the gulliver, so I had to sleep.Copy !req
252. I was not awakened
when I gave orders for wakening.Copy !req
253. Sorry about the pain.Copy !req
254. Using the gulliver
too much-like, maybe.Copy !req
255. Giving orders and
discipline and such, perhaps.Copy !req
256. You sure the pain is gone?Copy !req
257. You sure you'd not
be happier back in bed?Copy !req
258. Let's get things nice
and sparkling clear.Copy !req
259. This sarcasm,
if I may call it such...Copy !req
260. does not become you,
O my little brothers.Copy !req
261. As I am your droog and leader...Copy !req
262. I'm entitled to know
what goes on, eh?Copy !req
263. Yeah.Copy !req
264. Now then, Dim.Copy !req
265. What does that great big
horsey gape of a grin portend?Copy !req
266. All right, no more
picking on Dim, brother.Copy !req
267. That's part of the new way.Copy !req
268. New Way?Copy !req
269. What's this about a new way?Copy !req
270. There's been some very large talk
behind my sleeping back, and no error.Copy !req
271. Well, if you must have it, have it, then.Copy !req
272. We go around shop crasting
and the like...Copy !req
273. coming out with a pitiful
rookerfull of money each.Copy !req
274. Pitiful rookerfull.Copy !req
275. And there's Will the English
in the coffee mesto...Copy !req
276. saying he can fence anything
any malchick tries to crast.Copy !req
277. - Yeah. Shiny stuff.
- The shiny stuff. The Ice!Copy !req
278. The big, big money's available,
is what Will the English says.Copy !req
279. Big, big money.Copy !req
280. And what will you do
with the big, big, big money?Copy !req
281. Have you not everything you need?Copy !req
282. If you need a motorcar,
you pluck it from the trees.Copy !req
283. If you need pretty polly, you take it.Copy !req
284. Brother, you think and talk
sometimes like a little child.Copy !req
285. A little child, yeah.Copy !req
286. Tonight we pull a man-size crast.Copy !req
287. Tonight's a man-size crast.Copy !req
288. - Good! Real horrorshow!
- Yeah.Copy !req
289. Initiative comes to thems that wait.Copy !req
290. I've taught you much,
my little droogies.Copy !req
291. Now tell me what you had in mind,
Georgie-boy.Copy !req
292. The old moloko plus first.
Would you not say?Copy !req
293. - Something to sharpen us up.
- Some of the moloko plus.Copy !req
294. But you especially.
We have the start.Copy !req
295. You gotta take it first
because we've got a start on you.Copy !req
296. Yeah, moloko plus, eh? Yeah.Copy !req
297. As we walked along
the flatblock marina...Copy !req
298. I was calm on the outside,
but thinking all the time.Copy !req
299. So now it was to be
Georgie the General...Copy !req
300. saying what we should do
and what not to do.Copy !req
301. And Dim as his mindless,
grinning bulldog.Copy !req
302. But suddenly I viddied that
thinking was for the gloopy ones...Copy !req
303. and that the oomny ones
used, like...Copy !req
304. inspiration and what Bog sends.Copy !req
305. For now it was lovely music
that came to my aid.Copy !req
306. There was a window open
with a stereo on...Copy !req
307. and I viddied right at once
what to do.Copy !req
308. I had not cut into any
of Dim's main cables.Copy !req
309. And so with the help
of a clean tashtook...Copy !req
310. the red, red kroovy soon stopped.Copy !req
311. And it did not take long to
quieten the two wounded soldiers...Copy !req
312. down in the snug
of the Duke of New York.Copy !req
313. Now they knew who was
master and leader.Copy !req
314. Sheep, thought I.Copy !req
315. But a real leader knows
always when, like...Copy !req
316. to give and show generous
to his unders.Copy !req
317. Well...Copy !req
318. Now we're back to where we were.Copy !req
319. Yes?Copy !req
320. Just like before, and all forgotten?Copy !req
321. Right, right, right?Copy !req
322. Right.Copy !req
323. Right.Copy !req
324. Right.Copy !req
325. Well, Georgie-boy...Copy !req
326. this idea of yours for tonight.
Tell us all about it, then.Copy !req
327. Not tonight. Not this nochy.Copy !req
328. Come, come, come, Georgie-boy.Copy !req
329. You're a big, strong chelloveck,
like us all.Copy !req
330. We're not little children,
are we, Georgie-boy?Copy !req
331. What, then, didst thou
in thy mind have?Copy !req
332. It's this health farm.Copy !req
333. A bit out of the town.Copy !req
334. Isolated.Copy !req
335. It's owned by this, like, very rich ptitsa
who lives there with her cats.Copy !req
336. The place is shut down for a week...Copy !req
337. and she's completely on her own.Copy !req
338. And it's full up with, like,
gold and silver...Copy !req
339. and, like, jewels.Copy !req
340. Tell me more, Georgie-boy.Copy !req
341. Tell me more.Copy !req
342. Oh, shit!Copy !req
343. Who's there?Copy !req
344. Excuse me, missis, can you please help?Copy !req
345. There's been a terrible accident!Copy !req
346. Can I please use your telephone
for an ambulance?Copy !req
347. I'm frightfully sorry.Copy !req
348. There's a telephone in the public house
about a mile down the road.Copy !req
349. I suggest you use that.Copy !req
350. But, missis, this is an emergency!Copy !req
351. It's a matter of life and death!Copy !req
352. Me friend's lying in the middle
of the road, bleeding to death!Copy !req
353. I'm very sorry...Copy !req
354. but I never open the door
to strangers after dark.Copy !req
355. Very well, madam.Copy !req
356. You can't be blamed
for being suspicious...Copy !req
357. with so many scoundrels
and rogues of the night about.Copy !req
358. I'll try and get help
at the pub, then.Copy !req
359. I'm sorry if I disturbed you.Copy !req
360. Thank you very much.Copy !req
361. Good night.Copy !req
362. Dim, bend down.Copy !req
363. I'm gonna get in that window
and open the front door.Copy !req
364. Hello. Radlett Police Station?Copy !req
365. Good evening. It's Miss Weathers
at Woodmere Health Farm.Copy !req
366. - Good evening, ma'am.
- Hello.Copy !req
367. Look, I'm sorry to bother you, but
something rather odd has just happened.Copy !req
368. It's probably nothing at all,
but you never know.Copy !req
369. Well, a young man rang the bell,
asking to use the telephone.Copy !req
370. He said there'd been
some kind of accident.Copy !req
371. The thing that caught my
attention was what he said.Copy !req
372. The words he used sounded like those
quoted in the papers this morning...Copy !req
373. in connection with the writer and his
wife who were assaulted last night.Copy !req
374. - When did this take place, ma 'am?
- Just a few minutes ago.Copy !req
375. I think we'd better send
a patrol car around to see you.Copy !req
376. Well, if you think that's necessary.Copy !req
377. But I'm quite sure
he's gone away now.Copy !req
378. - He'll be there in a few minutes.
- Oh, all right, fine.Copy !req
379. - My pleasure, ma 'am.
- Thank you very much. Thank you.Copy !req
380. Hi, hi, hi there.Copy !req
381. At last we meet.Copy !req
382. Our brief govorett through the letter-hole
was not, shall we say, satisfactory.Copy !req
383. - Yes?
- Who are you?Copy !req
384. How the hell did you get in here?Copy !req
385. What the bloody hell
do you think you're doing?Copy !req
386. Naughty, naughty, naughty!Copy !req
387. You filthy old soomaka.Copy !req
388. Now listen here, you little bastard!Copy !req
389. Just turn round and walk out
of here the same way as you came in.Copy !req
390. Leave that alone! Don't touch it!
It's a very important work of art.Copy !req
391. Well, what the bloody hell do you want?Copy !req
392. Well, to be perfectly honest, madam...Copy !req
393. I'm taking part in an
international students' contest...Copy !req
394. to see who can get the most
points for selling magazines.Copy !req
395. Cut the shit, sonny...Copy !req
396. and get out of here before you get
yourself into some very serious trouble.Copy !req
397. I told you to leave that alone!
Now get out of here...Copy !req
398. before I throw you out!Copy !req
399. Wretched, slummy bedbug!Copy !req
400. I'll teach you to break
into real people's houses.Copy !req
401. Fucking...Copy !req
402. little...Copy !req
403. bastard!Copy !req
404. - Let's go! The police are coming!
- One minoota, droogie.Copy !req
405. You bastards! I'm blind!Copy !req
406. I'm blind, you bastards!Copy !req
407. I can't see!Copy !req
408. It's no good sitting there in hope,
my little brothers.Copy !req
409. I won't say a single solitary
slovo unless I have my lawyer here.Copy !req
410. I know the law, you bastards.Copy !req
411. Righty-right, Tom.Copy !req
412. We'll have to show our friend Alex
here that we know the law too.Copy !req
413. But that knowing the law
isn't everything.Copy !req
414. Nasty cut you've got there,
little Alex.Copy !req
415. Shame, isn't it?Copy !req
416. Spoils all your beauty.Copy !req
417. Who gave you that, then?Copy !req
418. How'd you do that, then?Copy !req
419. - What's that for, you bastard?
- That is for your lady victim.Copy !req
420. You ghastly...Copy !req
421. wretched scoundrel.Copy !req
422. Get him off me!Copy !req
423. You rotten little bastard!Copy !req
424. Good evening, Mr. Deltoid.Copy !req
425. Good evening, sergeant.Copy !req
426. - They're in Room B, sir.
- Thank you very much.Copy !req
427. - Sergeant...
- Sir.Copy !req
428. - Good evening, Mr. Deltoid.
- Good evening, inspector.Copy !req
429. - Would you like your tea now, sir?
- No, thank you, sergeant.Copy !req
430. - May I have some paper towels?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
431. We're interrogating
the prisoner now.Copy !req
432. - Perhaps you'd care to come inside.
- Thank you very much.Copy !req
433. - Good evening, sergeant. And evening, all.
- Mr. Deltoid.Copy !req
434. Dear, dear! This boy
does look a mess, doesn't he?Copy !req
435. Just look at the state of him.Copy !req
436. Loves young nightmare-like.Copy !req
437. Violence makes violence.Copy !req
438. He resisted his lawful arrestors.Copy !req
439. This is the end of the line for me.Copy !req
440. The end of the line, yes.Copy !req
441. And what of me, brother sir?Copy !req
442. Speak up for me.
For I'm not so bad.Copy !req
443. I was led on by
the treachery of others.Copy !req
444. Sings the roof off lovely,
he does that.Copy !req
445. Where are my treacherous droogs?
Get them before they get away!Copy !req
446. It was all their idea, brothers.Copy !req
447. They forced me to do it.
I'm innocent!Copy !req
448. You are now a murderer,
little Alex.Copy !req
449. A murderer.Copy !req
450. Not true, sir.Copy !req
451. It was only a slight tolchok.Copy !req
452. She were breathing, I swear it.Copy !req
453. I've just come from the hospital.Copy !req
454. Your victim has died.Copy !req
455. You try to frighten me. Admit so, sir.Copy !req
456. This is some new form of torture.Copy !req
457. - Say it, brother sir.
- It'll be your own torture.Copy !req
458. I hope to God
it'll torture you to madness.Copy !req
459. If you'd care to give him a bash
in the chops, don't mind us.Copy !req
460. We'll hold him down.Copy !req
461. He must be a great
disappointment to you, sir.Copy !req
462. This is the real weepy and, like, tragic
part of the story beginning...Copy !req
463. O my brothers and only friends.Copy !req
464. After a trial
with judges and a jury...Copy !req
465. and some very hard words spoken against
your friend and humble narrator...Copy !req
466. he was sentenced to 14 years
in Staja Number 84-F...Copy !req
467. among smelly perverts
and hardened prestoopniks.Copy !req
468. The shock sending my dada beating
his bruised and krovvy rockers...Copy !req
469. against unfair Bog
in His Heaven.Copy !req
470. And my mum boo-hoo-hooing
in her mother's grief...Copy !req
471. at her only child
and son of her bosom...Copy !req
472. like, letting everybody down
real horrorshow.Copy !req
473. Morning.
One up from Thames, mister.Copy !req
474. One up from Thames, sir.Copy !req
475. Right! Open up the cell!Copy !req
476. Yes, sir.Copy !req
477. Good morning. Here are
the prisoner's committal forms.Copy !req
478. Thank you, mister.Copy !req
479. - Name?

H.M. Prison Parkmoor.Copy !req

488. And it is your duty
to memorize that number.Copy !req
489. Thank you, mister. Well done.Copy !req
490. - Thank you.
- Let the officer out.Copy !req
491. Yes, sir.Copy !req
492. All right, empty your pockets.Copy !req
493. Are you able to see the white line
painted on the floor...Copy !req
494. directly behind you...Copy !req
495. 655321?Copy !req
496. - Yes, sir.
- Then your toes belong...Copy !req
497. on the other side of it!Copy !req
498. - Yes, sir.
- Right.Copy !req
499. Carry on.Copy !req
500. Pick that up...Copy !req
501. and put it down properly.Copy !req
502. One half-bar of chocolate.Copy !req
503. One bunch of keys

expanding bracelet.Copy !req
513. Anything else in your pockets?Copy !req
514. - No, sir.
- Right.Copy !req
515. Sign here for your valuable property.Copy !req
516. The tobacco and chocolate
you brought in...Copy !req
517. you lose that...Copy !req
518. as you are now convicted.Copy !req
519. Now over to the table
and get undressed.Copy !req
520. Now, then...Copy !req
521. were you in police custody
this morning?Copy !req
522. - No, sir.
- One jacket, blue pinstriped.Copy !req
523. - Prison custody?
- Yes, sir, on remand, sir.Copy !req
524. - One necktie, blue.

- One pair of socks, black.Copy !req
542. - Are you an epileptic?
- No, sir.Copy !req
543. One pair of underpants,
white with blue waistband.Copy !req
544. Are you now or have you ever been
a homosexual?Copy !req
545. - No, sir.
- Right.Copy !req
546. - The mothballs, mister.
- Mothballs, sir.Copy !req
547. Now then, face the wall...Copy !req
548. bend over and touch your toes.Copy !req
549. - Any venereal disease?
- No, sir.Copy !req
550. - Crabs? Lice?
- No, sir. No, sir.Copy !req
551. - Through there for the bath.
- One for a bath.Copy !req
552. - One for a bath.
- One for a bath.Copy !req
553. What's it going to be, eh?Copy !req
554. Is it going to be in and out
of institutions like this...Copy !req
555. though more in than out
for most of you?Copy !req
556. Or are you going to attend
to the divine word...Copy !req
557. and realize the punishments
that await unrepentant sinners...Copy !req
558. in the next world
as well as this?Copy !req
559. A lot of idiots you are...Copy !req
560. selling your birthright
for a saucer of cold porridge.Copy !req
561. The thrill of theft. Of violence.Copy !req
562. The urge to live easy.Copy !req
563. Well, I ask you what is it worth...Copy !req
564. when we have undeniable proof...Copy !req
565. yes, incontrovertible
evidence...Copy !req
566. that hell exists?Copy !req
567. I know!Copy !req
568. I know, my friends.Copy !req
569. I have been informed...Copy !req
570. in visions...Copy !req
571. that there is a place...Copy !req
572. darker than any prison...Copy !req
573. hotter than any flame
of human fire...Copy !req
574. where souls...Copy !req
575. of unrepentant criminal sinners
like yourselves...Copy !req
576. Don't you laugh, damn you!Copy !req
577. Don't you laugh.Copy !req
578. I say, like yourselves...Copy !req
579. scream...Copy !req
580. in endless and
unendurable agony.Copy !req
581. Their skin...Copy !req
582. rotting and peeling.Copy !req
583. A fireball...Copy !req
584. spinning in their screaming guts!Copy !req
585. I know. Oh, yes, I know!Copy !req
586. I saw you, 920537. I saw you!Copy !req
587. Quiet! All right, you lot!
We'll end by singing hymn 258...Copy !req
588. in the prisoner's hymnal.Copy !req
589. And let's have a little reverence,
you bastards!Copy !req
590. Come on, sing up, damn you! Louder!Copy !req
591. Louder!Copy !req
592. It had not been edifying.
Indeed not.Copy !req
593. Being in this hellhole
and human zoo for two years now.Copy !req
594. Being kicked and tolchoked
by brutal warders...Copy !req
595. and meeting leering criminals
and perverts...Copy !req
596. ready to dribble all over...Copy !req
597. a luscious young malchick
like your storyteller.Copy !req
598. It was my rabbit...Copy !req
599. to help the prison charlie
with the Sunday service.Copy !req
600. He was a bolshy,
great burly bastard.Copy !req
601. But he was very fond of myself,
me being very young...Copy !req
602. and also now very interested
in the Big Book.Copy !req
603. Move along there!Copy !req
604. Move along!Copy !req
605. Move along there! Move along!Copy !req
606. I read all about the scourging
and the crowning with thorns.Copy !req
607. And I could viddy myself
helping in...Copy !req
608. and even taking charge of
the tolchoking and the nailing in.Copy !req
609. Being dressed in the height
of Roman fashion.Copy !req
610. I didn't so much like
the latter part of the Book...Copy !req
611. which is more like
all preachy talking...Copy !req
612. than fighting
and the old in-out.Copy !req
613. I like the parts where these old
yahoodies tolchok each other...Copy !req
614. and then drink their Hebrew vino...Copy !req
615. and getting onto the bed
with their wives' handmaidens.Copy !req
616. That kept me going.Copy !req
617. "Seek not to be like evil men.Copy !req
618. Neither desire to be with them...Copy !req
619. because their minds
studieth robberies...Copy !req
620. and their lips speak deceits."Copy !req
621. If thou lose hope, being weary
in the days of distress...Copy !req
622. thy strength
shall be diminished.Copy !req
623. Fine, my son. Fine, fine.Copy !req
624. Father?Copy !req
625. - I have tried, have I not?
- You have, my son.Copy !req
626. - I've done my best, have I not?
- Indeed.Copy !req
627. I've never been guilty of any
institutional infraction, have I, Father?Copy !req
628. You certainly have not, 655321.
You've been very helpful.Copy !req
629. And you've shown
a genuine desire to reform.Copy !req
630. Father...Copy !req
631. can I ask you
a question in private?Copy !req
632. Certainly, my son. Certainly.Copy !req
633. Is there something
troubling you, my son?Copy !req
634. Don't be shy to speak up.Copy !req
635. Remember...Copy !req
636. I know...Copy !req
637. of the urges that can
trouble young men...Copy !req
638. deprived...Copy !req
639. of the society of women.Copy !req
640. Oh, Father.Copy !req
641. It's nothing like that, Father.Copy !req
642. It's about this new thing
they're all talking about, Father.Copy !req
643. About this new treatment.Copy !req
644. It gets you out of prison
in no time at all.Copy !req
645. And makes sure you
never get back in again.Copy !req
646. Where did you hear about this?Copy !req
647. Who's been talking
about these things?Copy !req
648. These things get around, Father.Copy !req
649. Two warders talk, as it might be.Copy !req
650. And somebody can't help
overhearing what they say.Copy !req
651. Then somebody picks up a scrap
of newspaper in the workshops...Copy !req
652. and the newspaper
tells all about it.Copy !req
653. How about putting me in
for this new treatment, Father?Copy !req
654. I take it...Copy !req
655. you are referring...Copy !req
656. to the Ludovico Technique.Copy !req
657. I don't know what it's called, Father.Copy !req
658. I just know it
gets you out quickly...Copy !req
659. and makes sure you
never get back in again.Copy !req
660. That is not proven, 655321.Copy !req
661. In fact, it is only in the
experimental stage at this moment.Copy !req
662. It is being used, isn't it, Father?Copy !req
663. It has not been used
in this prison yet.Copy !req
664. The governor has grave
doubts about it.Copy !req
665. And I have heard that there are
very serious dangers involved.Copy !req
666. I don't care about the dangers, Father.Copy !req
667. I just want to be good.Copy !req
668. I want for the rest
of my life to be...Copy !req
669. one act of goodness.Copy !req
670. The question is...Copy !req
671. whether or not this technique...Copy !req
672. really makes a man good.Copy !req
673. Goodness comes from within.Copy !req
674. Goodness...Copy !req
675. is chosen.Copy !req
676. When a man cannot choose...Copy !req
677. he ceases to be a man.Copy !req
678. I don't understand...Copy !req
679. about the whys and wherefores, Father.Copy !req
680. I only know I want to be good.Copy !req
681. Be patient, my son.Copy !req
682. Put your trust in the Lord.Copy !req
683. Instruct Thy son
and he shall refresh Thee...Copy !req
684. and shall give delight
to Thy soul.Copy !req
685. Amen.Copy !req
686. - Mister!
- All present and correct, sir!Copy !req
687. Right!Copy !req
688. All present and correct, sir!Copy !req
689. Prisoners, halt!Copy !req
690. Now pay attention!Copy !req
691. I want you in two lines...Copy !req
692. up against that wall,
facing this way.Copy !req
693. Go on, move!Copy !req
694. Hurry UP!Copy !req
695. Stop talking!Copy !req
696. Prisoners ready
for inspection, sir!Copy !req
697. How many to a cell?Copy !req
698. Four in this block, sir.Copy !req
699. Cram criminals together
and what do you get?Copy !req
700. Concentrated criminality.
Crime in the midst of punishment.Copy !req
701. I agree, sir. What we need
are larger prisons, more money.Copy !req
702. Not a chance, my dear fellow.Copy !req
703. The government can't be
concerned any longer...Copy !req
704. with outmoded penalogical theories.Copy !req
705. Soon we may be needing all our
prison space for political offenders.Copy !req
706. Common criminals like these are best
dealt with on a purely curative basis.Copy !req
707. Kill the criminal reflex,
that's all.Copy !req
708. Full implementation
in a year's time.Copy !req
709. Punishment means nothing to them.
You can see that.Copy !req
710. They enjoy their
so-called punishment.Copy !req
711. - You're absolutely right, sir.
- Shut your bleeding hole!Copy !req
712. Who said that?Copy !req
713. I did, sir.Copy !req
714. What crime did you commit?Copy !req
715. The accidental killing
of a person, sir.Copy !req
716. He brutally murdered a woman
in furtherance of theft.Copy !req
717. Fourteen years, sir.Copy !req
718. Excellent.Copy !req
719. He's enterprising...Copy !req
720. aggressive, outgoing...Copy !req
721. young, bold...Copy !req
722. vicious.Copy !req
723. - He'll do.
- Well, fine.Copy !req
724. We could still look at C-block.Copy !req
725. No, no, no. That's enough.
He's perfect.Copy !req
726. I want his records sent to me.Copy !req
727. This vicious young hoodlum...Copy !req
728. will be transformed
out of all recognition.Copy !req
729. Thank you very much
for this chance, sir.Copy !req
730. Let's hope you make
the most of it, my boy.Copy !req
731. - Shall we go to my office?
- Thank you.Copy !req
732. Come in.Copy !req
733. - Sir! 655321. Sir!
- Very good, chief.Copy !req
734. Forward to the line.
Toes behind it.Copy !req
735. Full name and number
to the governor.Copy !req
736. Alexander DeLarge, sir.
655321, sir.Copy !req
737. I don't suppose you know
who that was this morning, do you?Copy !req
738. That was no less a personage
than the minister of the interior.Copy !req
739. The new minister of the interior.Copy !req
740. What they call a very new broom.Copy !req
741. Well, these new ridiculous ideas
have come at last.Copy !req
742. And orders are orders.Copy !req
743. Though I may say to you
in confidence, I do not approve.Copy !req
744. An eye for an eye, I say.Copy !req
745. If someone hits you,
you hit back, do you not?Copy !req
746. Why then should not the state, very
severely hit by you brutal hooligans...Copy !req
747. not hit back also?Copy !req
748. The new view is to say "no."Copy !req
749. The new view is that
we turn the bad into good.Copy !req
750. All of which seems to me
to be grossly unjust.Copy !req
751. - Sir...
- Shut your filthy hole, you scum!Copy !req
752. You are to be reformed.Copy !req
753. Tomorrow you will go
to this man, Brodsky.Copy !req
754. You will be leaving here.Copy !req
755. You will be transferred to
the Ludovico medical facility.Copy !req
756. It's believed you'll be able...Copy !req
757. to leave state custody
in a fortnight.Copy !req
758. I suppose that prospect
pleases you?Copy !req
759. Answer the governor's question!Copy !req
760. Yes, sir. Thank you very much.Copy !req
761. I've done my best here,
I really have, sir.Copy !req
762. I'm very grateful
to all concerned, sir.Copy !req
763. Sign this where it's marked.Copy !req
764. Don't read it, sign it!Copy !req
765. It says that you are willing to have
your sentence commuted...Copy !req
766. to submission to
the Ludovico treatment.Copy !req
767. And this.Copy !req
768. And another copy.Copy !req
769. The next morning I was taken to...Copy !req
770. the Ludovico medical facility...Copy !req
771. outside the town center.Copy !req
772. I felt a malenky bit sad...Copy !req
773. having to say goodbye
to the old Staja...Copy !req
774. as you always will when you leave
a place you've gotten used to.Copy !req
775. Right, hold the prisoner.Copy !req
776. Good morning, sir.
I'm Chief Officer Barnes.Copy !req
777. I've got 655321Copy !req
778. on a transfer from Parkmoor
to the Ludovico Centre, sir.Copy !req
779. Good morning.
Yes, we've been expecting you.Copy !req
780. I'm Dr. Alcot.Copy !req
781. Dr. Alcot. Very good, sir.Copy !req
782. - Are you prepared to accept the prisoner?
- Yes, of course.Copy !req
783. I wonder if you'd mind signing
these transfer documents, sir.Copy !req
784. There, sir.Copy !req
785. And there, sir.Copy !req
786. And there.Copy !req
787. Here you go.Copy !req
788. There you are.Copy !req
789. Prison escort, move forward!Copy !req
790. Halt!Copy !req
791. Excuse me, sir.Copy !req
792. Is that the officer that is
to take charge of the prisoner, sir?Copy !req
793. If I may offer a word of advice, doc,
you'll have to watch this one.Copy !req
794. A right brutal bastard he has been,
and will be again...Copy !req
795. in spite of all his sucking up
and reading the Bible.Copy !req
796. Oh, I think we can manage things.
Show the young man to his room.Copy !req
797. Right, sir. Come this way, please.Copy !req
798. - Good morning, Charlie.
- Good morning, doctor.Copy !req
799. Good morning, Alex.Copy !req
800. My name is Dr. Branom.
I'm Dr. Brodsky's assistant.Copy !req
801. Good morning, missis.
Lovely day.Copy !req
802. Yes, indeed, it is, sir.Copy !req
803. May I take that?Copy !req
804. - How are you feeling this morning?
- Fine, fine.Copy !req
805. Good. Now, in a few minutes
you'll meet Dr. Brodsky...Copy !req
806. and begin your treatment.Copy !req
807. You're a very lucky boy
to have been chosen.Copy !req
808. I realize that, and I'm very grateful
to all concerned.Copy !req
809. We're going to be friends, then,
aren't we?Copy !req
810. I hope so, missis.Copy !req
811. What's the hypo for, then?
Gonna send me to sleep?Copy !req
812. No, nothing of the sort.Copy !req
813. - Vitamins, will it be, then?
- Something like that.Copy !req
814. You're undernourished.Copy !req
815. So after each meal
we're gonna give you a shot.Copy !req
816. Roll over on your right side.Copy !req
817. Loosen your pajama pants
and pull them halfway down.Copy !req
818. What exactly is the treatment here
going to be, then?Copy !req
819. It's quite simple, really.Copy !req
820. We're going to show you some films.Copy !req
821. You mean, like
going to the pictures?Copy !req
822. Something like that.Copy !req
823. Well, that's good. I like to viddy
the old films now and again.Copy !req
824. And viddy films I would.Copy !req
825. Where I was taken to, brothers...Copy !req
826. was like no cine
I ever viddied before.Copy !req
827. I was bound up in a straitjacket...Copy !req
828. and my gulliver was strapped
to a headrest...Copy !req
829. with, like, wires running away from it.Copy !req
830. Then they clamped, like,
lid-locks on me eyes...Copy !req
831. so that I could not shut them,
no matter how hard I tried.Copy !req
832. It seemed a bit crazy to me...Copy !req
833. but I let them get on with
what they wanted to get on with.Copy !req
834. If I was to be a free young malchick
again in a fortnight's time...Copy !req
835. I would put up with much
in the meantime, O my brothers.Copy !req
836. So far, the first film was a very good,
professional piece of cine...Copy !req
837. like it was done in Hollywood.Copy !req
838. The sounds were real horrorshow.Copy !req
839. You could slooshy the screams
and moans very realistic.Copy !req
840. You could even get
the breathing and panting...Copy !req
841. of the tolchocking malchicks
at the same time.Copy !req
842. And then what do you know?Copy !req
843. Soon our dear old friend...Copy !req
844. the red, red vino on tap...Copy !req
845. the same in all places,
like it's put out by the same big firm...Copy !req
846. began to flow.Copy !req
847. It was beautiful.Copy !req
848. It's funny how the colors
of the real world...Copy !req
849. only seem really real...Copy !req
850. when you viddy them
on a screen.Copy !req
851. Now, all the time
I was watching this...Copy !req
852. I was beginning
to get very aware...Copy !req
853. of, like, not feeling
all that well.Copy !req
854. And this I put down
to all the rich food and vitamins.Copy !req
855. But I tried to forget this,
concentrating on the next film...Copy !req
856. which jumped right away
on a young devotchka...Copy !req
857. who was being given
the old in-out, in-out...Copy !req
858. first by one malchick...Copy !req
859. then another.Copy !req
860. Then another.Copy !req
861. When it came to
the 6th or 7th malchick...Copy !req
862. leering and smecking
and then going into it...Copy !req
863. I began to feel really sick.Copy !req
864. But I could not shut me glazzies.Copy !req
865. And even if I tried to move
my glazzballs about...Copy !req
866. I still could not get out of...Copy !req
867. the line of fire of this picture.Copy !req
868. Get me up.Copy !req
869. I'm gonna be sick.Copy !req
870. Get something for me to be sick in!Copy !req
871. Very soon now,
the drug will cause the subject...Copy !req
872. to experience
a deathlike paralysis...Copy !req
873. together with deep feelings
of terror and helplessness.Copy !req
874. - I can't stand it anymore.
- One of our early test subjects...Copy !req
875. described it as being like death.Copy !req
876. A sense of stifling or drowning.Copy !req
877. And it is during this period,
we have found...Copy !req
878. that the subject will make
his most rewarding associations...Copy !req
879. between his catastrophic
experience, environment...Copy !req
880. and the violence he sees.Copy !req
881. Leave me glazzies!Copy !req
882. Dr. Brodsky is pleased with you.Copy !req
883. You've made
a very positive response.Copy !req
884. Now, tomorrow there will be two
sessions, of course, morning and afternoon.Copy !req
885. You mean I have to viddy
two sessions in one day?Copy !req
886. I imagine you'll be feeling a bit
limp by the end of the day.Copy !req
887. But we have to be hard on you.
You have to be cured.Copy !req
888. - It was horrible.
- Of course it was horrible.Copy !req
889. Violence is a very horrible thing.Copy !req
890. That's what you're learning now.Copy !req
891. Your body's learning it.Copy !req
892. I just don't understand about
feeling sick the way I did.Copy !req
893. I never used to feel sick before.
I used to feel the very opposite.Copy !req
894. Doing it or watching it,
I used to feel real horrorshow.Copy !req
895. You felt ill this afternoon
because you're getting better.Copy !req
896. When we're healthy, we respond
to the presence of the hateful...Copy !req
897. with fear and nausea.Copy !req
898. You're becoming healthy, that's all.Copy !req
899. By this time tomorrow,
you'll be healthier still.Copy !req
900. It was the next day, brothers...Copy !req
901. and I had truly done my best...Copy !req
902. morning and afternoon
to play it their way...Copy !req
903. and sit like a horrorshow
cooperative malchick...Copy !req
904. in the chair of torture...Copy !req
905. while they flashed nasty bits
of ultra-violence on the screen...Copy !req
906. though not on the soundtrack, my
brothers, the only sound being music.Copy !req
907. Then I noticed,
in all my pain and sickness...Copy !req
908. what music it was
that, like, cracked and boomed.Copy !req
909. It was Ludwig van.Copy !req
910. Ninth Symphony,
fourth movement.Copy !req
911. No! No!Copy !req
912. Stop it! Stop it!
Please, I beg you!Copy !req
913. It's a sin!Copy !req
914. It's a sin!Copy !req
915. It's a sin!Copy !req
916. It's a sin! It's a sin!
It's a sin!Copy !req
917. Sin?Copy !req
918. What's all this about sin?Copy !req
919. That!Copy !req
920. Using Ludwig van like that.
He did no harm to anyone.Copy !req
921. Beethoven just wrote music.Copy !req
922. Are you referring
to the background score?Copy !req
923. Yes!Copy !req
924. You've heard Beethoven before?Copy !req
925. Yes!Copy !req
926. So you're keen on music?Copy !req
927. Yes!Copy !req
928. Can't be helped.Copy !req
929. Here's the punishment
element perhaps.Copy !req
930. The governor ought to be pleased.Copy !req
931. I'm sorry, Alex.Copy !req
932. This is for your own good.Copy !req
933. You'll have to bear with us
for a while.Copy !req
934. But it's not fair. It's not fair
I should feel ill when I hear...Copy !req
935. lovely, lovely Ludwig van.Copy !req
936. You must take your chance, boy.Copy !req
937. The choice has been all yours.Copy !req
938. You needn't take it any further, sir.Copy !req
939. You've proved to me all this
ultra-violence and killing...Copy !req
940. is wrong, wrong
and terribly wrong!Copy !req
941. I've learned me lesson, sir.Copy !req
942. I see now what I've
never seen before.Copy !req
943. I'm cured. Praise God!Copy !req
944. You're not cured yet, boy.Copy !req
945. But, sirs. Missis!Copy !req
946. I see that it's wrong!Copy !req
947. It's wrong because
it's, like, against society.Copy !req
948. Because everybody has the
right to live and be happy...Copy !req
949. without being
tolchocked and knifed!Copy !req
950. No, no, boy.
You really must leave it to us.Copy !req
951. But be cheerful about it.Copy !req
952. In less than a fortnight now,
you'll be a free man.Copy !req
953. Ladies and gentlemen...Copy !req
954. at this stage we introduce
the subject himself.Copy !req
955. He is, as you will perceive,
fit and well-nourished.Copy !req
956. He comes straight from a night's
sleep and a good breakfast...Copy !req
957. undrugged, unhypnotized.Copy !req
958. Tomorrow we send him out with
confidence into the world again...Copy !req
959. as decent a lad as you
would meet on a May morning.Copy !req
960. What a change is here,
ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
961. From the hoodlum
the state committed...Copy !req
962. to unprofitable punishment
some two years ago.Copy !req
963. Unchanged after two years.Copy !req
964. Unchanged, do I say?Copy !req
965. Not quite.Copy !req
966. Prison taught him the false smile,
the rubbed hands of hypocrisy.Copy !req
967. The fawning, greased,
obsequious leer.Copy !req
968. Other vices it taught him...Copy !req
969. as well as confirming him in
those he had long practiced before.Copy !req
970. Our party promised
to restore law and order...Copy !req
971. and to make the streets safe again
for the ordinary peace-loving citizen.Copy !req
972. This pledge is now
about to become a reality.Copy !req
973. Ladies and gentlemen,
today is an historic moment.Copy !req
974. The problem of criminal violence
is soon to be a thing of the past.Copy !req
975. But enough of words.Copy !req
976. Actions speak louder than.Copy !req
977. Action now.Copy !req
978. Observe all.Copy !req
979. Our necks are out
a long way on this, minister.Copy !req
980. I have complete faith in Brodsky.Copy !req
981. If the polls are right,
we have nothing to lose.Copy !req
982. Hello, heap of dirt.Copy !req
983. You don't wash much, do you?Copy !req
984. Judging by the horrible smell.Copy !req
985. Why do you say that?
I had a shower this morning.Copy !req
986. Oh, he had a shower this morning.Copy !req
987. - You trying to call me a liar?
- No, brother.Copy !req
988. Well, you must think I'm awfully stupid.Copy !req
989. Why did you do that, brother?Copy !req
990. I've never done wrong to you.Copy !req
991. You want to know why I did that?Copy !req
992. Well, you see...Copy !req
993. I do this...Copy !req
994. and that...Copy !req
995. and this because I don't like
your horrible type, do I?Copy !req
996. And if you want
to start something...Copy !req
997. well, you just go ahead.
Go on! Please do!Copy !req
998. - Go on!
- I'm gonna be sick. I'm gonna be sick.Copy !req
999. You're gonna be sick, are you?Copy !req
1000. I'm gonna be sick.
Please let me get up.Copy !req
1001. You wanna get up?Copy !req
1002. Well, now you listen to me.Copy !req
1003. If you wanna get up...Copy !req
1004. you've gotta
do something for me.Copy !req
1005. Here. Here.Copy !req
1006. You see that?Copy !req
1007. You see that shoe?Copy !req
1008. Well, I want you to lick it.Copy !req
1009. Go on!Copy !req
1010. Lick it.Copy !req
1011. And, O my brothers,
would you believe...Copy !req
1012. your faithful friend
and long-suffering narrator...Copy !req
1013. pushed out his red yabzick
a mile and a half...Copy !req
1014. to lick the grahzny,
vonny boots.Copy !req
1015. And again!Copy !req
1016. The horrible killing sickness
had whooshed up...Copy !req
1017. and turned the, like, joy of battle...Copy !req
1018. into a feeling
I was going to snuff it.Copy !req
1019. And again.Copy !req
1020. Nice and clean.Copy !req
1021. Thank you very much.Copy !req
1022. That will do very well.Copy !req
1023. Thank you very much,
ladies and gentlemen.Copy !req
1024. Thank you.Copy !req
1025. Thank you very much.Copy !req
1026. Thank you very much.Copy !req
1027. She came towards me...Copy !req
1028. with the light like it was the
light light of heavenly grace.Copy !req
1029. And the thing that flashed
into me gulliver...Copy !req
1030. was that I'd like to have her
there on the floor...Copy !req
1031. with the old in-out,
real savage.Copy !req
1032. But quick as a shot
came the sickness.Copy !req
1033. Like a detective who'd been
watching around the corner...Copy !req
1034. and now followed
to make his arrest.Copy !req
1035. Enough.Copy !req
1036. Thank you very much.Copy !req
1037. Thank you, my dear.Copy !req
1038. Thank you very much.Copy !req
1039. Not feeling too bad now, are you?Copy !req
1040. No, sir. I feel really great, sir.Copy !req
1041. - Good.
- Was it all right, sir?Copy !req
1042. Did I do well, sir?Copy !req
1043. Fine, my boy. Absolutely fine.Copy !req
1044. You see, ladies and gentlemen...Copy !req
1045. our subject is impelled
towards the good...Copy !req
1046. by paradoxically
being impelled towards evil.Copy !req
1047. The intention to act violently...Copy !req
1048. is accompanied by strong
feelings of physical distress.Copy !req
1049. To counter these,
the subject has to switch...Copy !req
1050. to a diametrically opposed attitude.Copy !req
1051. Any questions?Copy !req
1052. Choice.Copy !req
1053. The boy has no real choice, has he?Copy !req
1054. Self-interest.Copy !req
1055. The fear of physical pain...Copy !req
1056. drove him to that
grotesque act of self-abasement.Copy !req
1057. Its insincerity was clearly to be seen.Copy !req
1058. He ceases to be a wrongdoer.Copy !req
1059. He ceases also to be
a creature capable of moral choice.Copy !req
1060. Padre, these are subtleties.Copy !req
1061. We're not concerned with motives,
with the higher ethics.Copy !req
1062. We are concerned only
with cutting down crime.Copy !req
1063. And with relieving the ghastly
congestion in our prisons.Copy !req
1064. He will be your true Christian...Copy !req
1065. ready to turn the other cheek.Copy !req
1066. Ready to be crucified,
rather than crucify.Copy !req
1067. Sick to the very heart at the
thought even of killing a fly.Copy !req
1068. Reclamation.Copy !req
1069. Joy before the angels of God.Copy !req
1070. The point is that it works!Copy !req
1071. And the very next day,
your friend and humble narrator...Copy !req
1072. was a free man.Copy !req
1073. Son!Copy !req
1074. - Hi, hi, hi there, my Pee and Em.
- Alex.Copy !req
1075. Mum.Copy !req
1076. How are you, love?
Nice to see you.Copy !req
1077. - Dad.
- Hello, lad. What a surprise.Copy !req
1078. - Good to see you.
- Keeping fit?Copy !req
1079. - How are you, then? How are you?
- Oh, I'm fine, fine.Copy !req
1080. Keeping out of trouble, you know.Copy !req
1081. Well...Copy !req
1082. I'm back!Copy !req
1083. Yes.Copy !req
1084. Good to see you.Copy !req
1085. Why didn't you let us know
what was happening?Copy !req
1086. Sorry, Em. I wanted it to be, like,
a big surprise for you and Pee.Copy !req
1087. It's a surprise all right.
A bit bewildering too.Copy !req
1088. We've only just read about it
in morning papers.Copy !req
1089. Aye. You should have
let us know, lad.Copy !req
1090. Not that we're not very pleased
to see you again, and all...Copy !req
1091. cured too, eh?Copy !req
1092. That's right, Dad.
They did a great job on me.Copy !req
1093. I'm completely reformed.Copy !req
1094. Well...Copy !req
1095. Still the same old place, then, eh?Copy !req
1096. Oh, aye. Aye, aye-Copy !req
1097. Hey, Dad...Copy !req
1098. there's a strange fella
sitting on the sofa...Copy !req
1099. munchy-wunching
lomticks of toast.Copy !req
1100. That's Joe. He...Copy !req
1101. He lives here now.Copy !req
1102. The lodger.Copy !req
1103. That's what he is.Copy !req
1104. He rents your room.Copy !req
1105. How do you do, Joe?Copy !req
1106. Find the room comfortable, do you?Copy !req
1107. No complaints?Copy !req
1108. I've heard about you.Copy !req
1109. I know what you've done.Copy !req
1110. Breaking the hearts of your
poor, grieving parents.Copy !req
1111. So you're back, eh?Copy !req
1112. You're back to make life a misery for
your lovely parents once more, is that it?Copy !req
1113. Over my dead corpse, you will.Copy !req
1114. Because, you see, they've let me
be more like a son to them...Copy !req
1115. - ... than like a lodger.
- Joe. Joe!Copy !req
1116. Don't go fighting here, boys.Copy !req
1117. Do put your hand
over your mouth, please.Copy !req
1118. It's bloody revolting.Copy !req
1119. - Are you all right, lad?
- Dad.Copy !req
1120. It's the treatment.Copy !req
1121. Well, it's disgusting.
Enough to put you off your food.Copy !req
1122. Leave him be, Joe.
It's the treatment.Copy !req
1123. Do you think we ought
to do something?Copy !req
1124. Would you like me to make you
a nice cup of tea, son?Copy !req
1125. What have you done
with all me own personal things?Copy !req
1126. Oh, well...Copy !req
1127. that was all...Copy !req
1128. took away, son.Copy !req
1129. By the police.Copy !req
1130. New regulation, see...Copy !req
1131. about compensation
for the victims.Copy !req
1132. What about Basil?Copy !req
1133. Where's my snake?Copy !req
1134. Well...Copy !req
1135. he met with...Copy !req
1136. like, an accident.Copy !req
1137. He passed away.Copy !req
1138. What's going to happen to me, then?Copy !req
1139. I mean...Copy !req
1140. that's my room he's in.Copy !req
1141. There's no denying that.Copy !req
1142. This is my home also.Copy !req
1143. What suggestions have you,
my Pee and Em, to make?Copy !req
1144. Well, all this needs thinking about, son.Copy !req
1145. We can't very well just kick Joe out.Copy !req
1146. Not just like that, can we?Copy !req
1147. I mean...Copy !req
1148. Joe's here doing a job.Copy !req
1149. A contract it is. Two years.Copy !req
1150. We made, like, an arrangement.
Didn't we, Joe?Copy !req
1151. You see, son...Copy !req
1152. Joe's paid next month's
rent already...Copy !req
1153. so whatever we may do in
the future, we can't just say...Copy !req
1154. to get out, now can we?Copy !req
1155. No, but it's much more than that.Copy !req
1156. I mean, I've got you two
to think of...Copy !req
1157. who've been like
a father and mother to me.Copy !req
1158. It wouldn't be right for me
to go off and leave you two...Copy !req
1159. to the tender mercies
of this young monster...Copy !req
1160. who's been like
no real son at all.Copy !req
1161. Look, he's weeping now.Copy !req
1162. But that's all his craft
and artfulness.Copy !req
1163. Let him go and find
a room somewhere else.Copy !req
1164. Let him learn the errors of his way,
and that a bad boy, like he's been...Copy !req
1165. doesn't deserve such a good
mum and dad as he's had.Copy !req
1166. All right.Copy !req
1167. I know how things are now.Copy !req
1168. I've suffered and I've suffered...Copy !req
1169. and I've suffered.Copy !req
1170. And everybody wants me
to go on suffering.Copy !req
1171. You've made others suffer.Copy !req
1172. It's only right
that you should suffer proper.Copy !req
1173. I've been told
everything you've done...Copy !req
1174. sitting here at night
around the table.Copy !req
1175. And pretty shocking
it was to listen to.Copy !req
1176. It made me real sick,
a lot of it did.Copy !req
1177. Now look what you've gone
and done to your mother.Copy !req
1178. Come on. It's all right now.Copy !req
1179. Right.Copy !req
1180. I'm leaving now.Copy !req
1181. You won't ever viddy me no more.Copy !req
1182. I'll make me own way.Copy !req
1183. Thank you very much. Let it lie
heavy on your consciences.Copy !req
1184. Now, don't take it like that, son.Copy !req
1185. All right.Copy !req
1186. Can you spare some cutter,
me brother?Copy !req
1187. Can you spare some cutter,
me brother?Copy !req
1188. Can you spare some cutter,
me brother?Copy !req
1189. Thanks, brother.Copy !req
1190. Janie Mack!Copy !req
1191. May the hokey fly!Copy !req
1192. Holy Mother of God and all the blessed
saints in heaven preserve us!Copy !req
1193. I never forget a face, be God!Copy !req
1194. I never forget any face.Copy !req
1195. Leave me alone, brother.
I've never seen you before!Copy !req
1196. This is the poisonous young swine
that near done me in.Copy !req
1197. Him and his friends.Copy !req
1198. They beat me and kicked me
and punched me.Copy !req
1199. Stop him! Stop him!Copy !req
1200. They laughed at me blood
and me moans, this murderous dog!Copy !req
1201. Then there was like
a sea of dirty, smelly old men...Copy !req
1202. trying to get at
your humble narrator...Copy !req
1203. with their feeble rookers
and horny old claws.Copy !req
1204. It was old age
having a go at youth.Copy !req
1205. And I daren't do a single
solitary thing, O my brothers.Copy !req
1206. It being better
to be hit at like that...Copy !req
1207. than want to sick
and feel that horrible pain.Copy !req
1208. All right, all right!Copy !req
1209. Stop it now.Copy !req
1210. Come on. Stop breaking the
state's peace, you naughty boys!Copy !req
1211. Back away! Go away with you!Copy !req
1212. What's your trouble, sir?Copy !req
1213. Oh, no.Copy !req
1214. Well.Copy !req
1215. Well, well, well.Copy !req
1216. Well, well, well, well.Copy !req
1217. If it isn't little Alex.
Long time no viddy, droog.Copy !req
1218. How goes?Copy !req
1219. It's impossible.
I don't believe it.Copy !req
1220. Evidence of the old glazzies.Copy !req
1221. Nothing up our sleeves.Copy !req
1222. No magic, little Alex.Copy !req
1223. A job for two
who are now of job age:Copy !req
1224. The police.Copy !req
1225. Come on, Alex.Copy !req
1226. Come for walking.Copy !req
1227. Come, come, come,
my little droogies.Copy !req
1228. I just don't get this at all.Copy !req
1229. The old days are dead and gone.Copy !req
1230. For what I did in the past,
I've been punished.Copy !req
1231. - Punished.
- I've been cured.Copy !req
1232. Cured, yeah.
That was read out to us.Copy !req
1233. The inspector read it
all out to us.Copy !req
1234. He said it was a very good way.Copy !req
1235. But what is all this?Copy !req
1236. It was them
that went for me, brothers.Copy !req
1237. You're not on their side,
and can't be.Copy !req
1238. Well, you can't be, Dim.Copy !req
1239. It was someone we fillied with
back in the old days...Copy !req
1240. trying to get his own revenge
after all this time. Remember, Dim?Copy !req
1241. A long time is right.Copy !req
1242. I don't remember them days
too horrorshow.Copy !req
1243. And don't call me Dim
no more, either.Copy !req
1244. "Officer," call me.Copy !req
1245. Enough is remembered, though,
little Alex.Copy !req
1246. And this is to make sure
you stay cured.Copy !req
1247. - He's had enough, droogie.
- A bit more. He's still kicking.Copy !req
1248. Cured, are you?Copy !req
1249. Be viddying you some more
sometime, droogie.Copy !req
1250. Where was I to go,
who had no home and no money?Copy !req
1251. I cried for meself.Copy !req
1252. Home, home, home.Copy !req
1253. It was home I was wanting.Copy !req
1254. And it was home
I came to, brothers...Copy !req
1255. not realizing,
in the state I was in...Copy !req
1256. where I was, and had been before.Copy !req
1257. Who on earth could that be?Copy !req
1258. I'll see who it is.Copy !req
1259. Yes, what is it?Copy !req
1260. Please...Copy !req
1261. Frank, I think this young man
needs some help.Copy !req
1262. My God!Copy !req
1263. What's happened to you, my boy?Copy !req
1264. And would you believe it,
O my brothers and only friends...Copy !req
1265. there was your faithful narrator...Copy !req
1266. being held helpless
like a babe in arms...Copy !req
1267. and suddenly realizing
where he was...Copy !req
1268. and why "home" on the gate
had looked so familiar.Copy !req
1269. But I knew I was safe.Copy !req
1270. I knew he would not remember me.Copy !req
1271. For in those carefree days...Copy !req
1272. I and my so-called droogs...Copy !req
1273. wore our maskies, which were
like real horrorshow disguises.Copy !req
1274. Police.Copy !req
1275. Ghastly, horrible police.Copy !req
1276. They beat me up, sir.Copy !req
1277. The police beat me up, sir.Copy !req
1278. I know you!Copy !req
1279. Isn't it your picture
in the newspapers?Copy !req
1280. Didn't I see you
on the video this morning?Copy !req
1281. Are you not the poor victim
of this horrible new technique?Copy !req
1282. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1283. That's exactly who I am and
what I am, sir. A victim, sir.Copy !req
1284. Then, by God, you've been
sent here by providence!Copy !req
1285. Tortured in prison, then thrown out
to be tortured by the police.Copy !req
1286. My heart goes out to you, poor boy. You're
not the first to come here in distress.Copy !req
1287. The police like to bring
their victims to this village.Copy !req
1288. But it's providential that you...Copy !req
1289. who are also another kind
of victim, should come here.Copy !req
1290. Oh, but you're cold and shivering.Copy !req
1291. Julian...Copy !req
1292. draw a bath for this young man.Copy !req
1293. Certainly, Frank.Copy !req
1294. Thank you very much, sir.Copy !req
1295. God bless you, sir.Copy !req
1296. He can be the most potent
weapon imaginable...Copy !req
1297. to ensure the government
is not returned in the election.Copy !req
1298. The government's big boast, sir...Copy !req
1299. is the way they have
dealt with crime the last few months.Copy !req
1300. Recruiting young roughs
into the police...Copy !req
1301. proposing will-sapping
techniques of conditioning.Copy !req
1302. We've seen it all before
in other countries.Copy !req
1303. The thin end of the wedge.Copy !req
1304. Before we know where we are, we'll
have the full apparatus of totalitarianism.Copy !req
1305. This young boy is a living witness
to these diabolical proposals.Copy !req
1306. The people, the common people,
must know, must see.Copy !req
1307. There are traditions of liberty to
defend. The tradition of liberty is all.Copy !req
1308. The common people will let it go, yes.
They will sell liberty for a quieter life.Copy !req
1309. That is why they must be led, sir.
Driven, pushed.Copy !req
1310. Fine.Copy !req
1311. Thank you very much, sir.Copy !req
1312. He'll be here.Copy !req
1313. Good evening, sir.Copy !req
1314. Good evening.Copy !req
1315. It was very kind of you
to leave this out for me.Copy !req
1316. There was no one around,
so I started.Copy !req
1317. Hope that's all right, sir.Copy !req
1318. Of course.Copy !req
1319. Food all right?Copy !req
1320. Great, sir. Great.Copy !req
1321. Try the wine.Copy !req
1322. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
1323. Cheers.Copy !req
1324. Happy days.Copy !req
1325. - Won't you join me?
- No.Copy !req
1326. My health doesn't allow it.Copy !req
1327. No, thank you.Copy !req
1328. "1960, Château.Copy !req
1329. Saint-Estèphe.Copy !req
1330. Médoc." Very good brand, sir.Copy !req
1331. Very good...Copy !req
1332. color, sir.Copy !req
1333. It smells nice too.Copy !req
1334. A very nice little number, sir.Copy !req
1335. Well, here's to it.Copy !req
1336. Very refreshing, sir.
Very refreshing.Copy !req
1337. I'm pleased you
appreciate good wine.Copy !req
1338. Have another glass.Copy !req
1339. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
1340. My wife...Copy !req
1341. used to do everything for me
and leave me to my writing.Copy !req
1342. Your wife, sir? Is she away?Copy !req
1343. No, she's dead!Copy !req
1344. I'm sorry to hear about that, sir.Copy !req
1345. She was very badly raped, you see.Copy !req
1346. We were assaulted by
vicious young hoodlums...Copy !req
1347. in this very room
you're sitting in now.Copy !req
1348. I was left a helpless cripple, but
for her the agony was too great.Copy !req
1349. The doctors said
it was pneumonia...Copy !req
1350. because it happened later,
during a flu epidemic.Copy !req
1351. The doctors told me it was
pneumonia, but I knew what it was.Copy !req
1352. A victim of the modern age.
Poor, poor girl.Copy !req
1353. And now, you.Copy !req
1354. Another victim of the modern age.Copy !req
1355. But you can be helped.Copy !req
1356. I phoned some friends while
you were having your bath.Copy !req
1357. - Some friends, sir?
- Yes. They want to help you.Copy !req
1358. - Help me, sir?
- Help you.Copy !req
1359. - Who are they, sir?
- They're very, very important people.Copy !req
1360. And they're interested in you.Copy !req
1361. Julian.Copy !req
1362. This'll be these people now.Copy !req
1363. I don't want to trouble you
any further. I should be leaving.Copy !req
1364. No, no, no, my boy.
No trouble at all.Copy !req
1365. Here.Copy !req
1366. Let me fill your glass.Copy !req
1367. - Hello, Frank.
- Good evening, sir.Copy !req
1368. Frank.Copy !req
1369. So this is the young man?Copy !req
1370. - How do you do, sir?
- Hello.Copy !req
1371. - Missis. I'm very pleased to meet you.
- Hello.Copy !req
1372. I hope you forgive us for coming
at this hour...Copy !req
1373. but we heard you
were in trouble...Copy !req
1374. and so we came over to see
if we could help.Copy !req
1375. Very kind of you, sir.
Thank you very much.Copy !req
1376. I understand you had a rather...Copy !req
1377. unfortunate encounter...Copy !req
1378. with the police tonight.Copy !req
1379. Yes, I suppose
you could call it that, sir.Copy !req
1380. How are you feeling now?Copy !req
1381. Much better, thank you, sir.Copy !req
1382. Feel like talking,
answering a few questions?Copy !req
1383. Fine, sir. Fine.Copy !req
1384. Well, as I said, we've heard about you.Copy !req
1385. We are interested in your case.Copy !req
1386. - We want to help you.
- Thank you very much, sir.Copy !req
1387. Well, shall we get down to it?Copy !req
1388. Fine. Fine, sir.Copy !req
1389. The newspapers mentioned...Copy !req
1390. that in addition to your being
conditioned against...Copy !req
1391. acts of sex and violence...Copy !req
1392. you've inadvertently been
conditioned against music.Copy !req
1393. Well, I think that was something
that they didn't plan for.Copy !req
1394. You see, missis...Copy !req
1395. I'm very fond of music.
Especially Beethoven.Copy !req
1396. Ludwig van Beethoven.Copy !req
1397. 435
- It's all right. Thank you.Copy !req
1398. And it just so happened that
while they were showing me...Copy !req
1399. a particularly bad film
of, like, a concentration camp...Copy !req
1400. the background music
was playing Beethoven.Copy !req
1401. So now you have
the same reaction to music...Copy !req
1402. as you do to sex and violence?Copy !req
1403. No, missis. You see, it's not
all music. It's just the 9th.Copy !req
1404. You mean Beethoven's 9th Symphony?Copy !req
1405. That's right. I can't listen
to the 9th anymore at all.Copy !req
1406. When I hear the 9th, I get, like...Copy !req
1407. this funny feeling.Copy !req
1408. And then all I can think about
is, like, trying to snuff it.Copy !req
1409. - I beg your pardon?
- Snuff it, sir. Death, I mean, missis.Copy !req
1410. I just want to die peacefully...Copy !req
1411. like, with no pain.Copy !req
1412. Do you feel that way now?Copy !req
1413. No, sir, not exactly.Copy !req
1414. I still feel...Copy !req
1415. very miserable.Copy !req
1416. Very much down in spirits.Copy !req
1417. Do you still feel...Copy !req
1418. suicidal?Copy !req
1419. Well, put it this way:Copy !req
1420. I feel very low in meself.Copy !req
1421. I can't see much in the future.Copy !req
1422. And I feel that any second, something
terrible is gonna happen to me.Copy !req
1423. Well done, Frank.Copy !req
1424. Julian, get the car,
would you, please?Copy !req
1425. I woke up.Copy !req
1426. The pain and sickness
all over me like an animal.Copy !req
1427. Then I realized what it was.Copy !req
1428. The music coming up
from the floor...Copy !req
1429. was our old friend
Ludwig van...Copy !req
1430. and the dreaded 9th Symphony.Copy !req
1431. Let me out!Copy !req
1432. Open the door!Copy !req
1433. Come on, open the door!Copy !req
1434. Turn it off!Copy !req
1435. Turn it off!Copy !req
1436. Turn it off!Copy !req
1437. Turn it off!Copy !req
1438. Turn it off!Copy !req
1439. Stop it!Copy !req
1440. Turn it off!Copy !req
1441. Turn it off!Copy !req
1442. Turn it off!Copy !req
1443. Turn it off!Copy !req
1444. Turn it off!Copy !req
1445. Turn it off!Copy !req
1446. Turn it off!Copy !req
1447. Please!Copy !req
1448. Turn it off!Copy !req
1449. Suddenly I viddied
what I had to do...Copy !req
1450. and what I had wanted to do.Copy !req
1451. And that was to do myself in.Copy !req
1452. To snuff it.Copy !req
1453. To blast off forever
out of this wicked, cruel world.Copy !req
1454. One moment of pain perhaps...Copy !req
1455. and then sleep.Copy !req
1456. Forever and ever...Copy !req
1457. and ever.Copy !req
1458. I jumped, O my brothers...Copy !req
1459. and I fell hard.Copy !req
1460. But I did not snuff it.Copy !req
1461. If I had snuffed it...Copy !req
1462. I would not be here
to tell what I told have.Copy !req
1463. I came back to life
after a long, black, black gap...Copy !req
1464. of what might have been
a million years.Copy !req
1465. He's recovered
consciousness, doctor.Copy !req
1466. Hello, lad.Copy !req
1467. Hello, son.Copy !req
1468. How are you?Copy !req
1469. Are you feeling better?Copy !req
1470. What gives...Copy !req
1471. O my Pee and Em?Copy !req
1472. What makes...Copy !req
1473. you think...Copy !req
1474. you are welcome?Copy !req
1475. There, there, Mother.
It's all right.Copy !req
1476. He doesn't mean it.Copy !req
1477. You were in the papers again, son.Copy !req
1478. It said...Copy !req
1479. they had done
great wrong to you.Copy !req
1480. It said...Copy !req
1481. how the government...Copy !req
1482. drove you to try...Copy !req
1483. and do yourself in.Copy !req
1484. And when you think about it, son...Copy !req
1485. maybe it was our fault too...Copy !req
1486. in a way.Copy !req
1487. Your home's your home...Copy !req
1488. when all's said and done, son.Copy !req
1489. - Good morning.
- Good morning, doctor.Copy !req
1490. - Good morning.
- Good morning, missis.Copy !req
1491. - How are you feeling today?
- Fine. Fine.Copy !req
1492. Good. May I?Copy !req
1493. - I'm Dr. Taylor.
- Haven't seen you before.Copy !req
1494. I'm your psychiatrist.Copy !req
1495. Psychiatrist! Do I need one?Copy !req
1496. Just part of hospital routine.Copy !req
1497. Are we going to
talk about me sex life?Copy !req
1498. No. I'm going to show you
some slides...Copy !req
1499. and you're going to tell me
what you think about them.Copy !req
1500. - All right?
- Oh, jolly good.Copy !req
1501. You know anything about dreams?Copy !req
1502. Something, yes.Copy !req
1503. - You know what they mean?
- Perhaps.Copy !req
1504. You concerned about something?Copy !req
1505. No, no, not concerned, really...Copy !req
1506. but I've been having
this nasty dream.Copy !req
1507. Very nasty.Copy !req
1508. It's like...Copy !req
1509. well, when I was all smashed up,
you know...Copy !req
1510. and half-awake
and unconscious-like...Copy !req
1511. I kept having this dream.Copy !req
1512. All these doctors were
playing around with me gulliver.Copy !req
1513. You know, like the inside
of me brain.Copy !req
1514. I seem to have this dream
over and over again.Copy !req
1515. Do you think it means anything?Copy !req
1516. Patients who've sustained the injuries
you have often have dreams of this sort.Copy !req
1517. It's all part
of the recovery process.Copy !req
1518. Now then, each of these slides
needs a reply...Copy !req
1519. from one of the people
in the picture.Copy !req
1520. You tell me what you think
the person would say.Copy !req
1521. - All right?
- Righty-right.Copy !req
1522. "Isn't the plumage beautiful?"Copy !req
1523. - I just say what the other person would say?
- Yes.Copy !req
1524. "Isn't the plumage beautiful?"Copy !req
1525. Don't think about it too long.Copy !req
1526. Just say the first thing
that pops into your mind.Copy !req
1527. Cabbages. Knickers.Copy !req
1528. It's not got a beak.Copy !req
1529. Good.Copy !req
1530. "The boy you always quarreled with
is seriously ill."Copy !req
1531. My mind is a blank.Copy !req
1532. And I'll smash your face
for you, yarblockos.Copy !req
1533. Good.Copy !req
1534. "What do you want?"Copy !req
1535. No time for the old in-out, love.
I've just come to read the meter.Copy !req
1536. Good.Copy !req
1537. "You sold me a crummy watch.
I want my money back."Copy !req
1538. You know what you can do with
that watch? Stick it up your ass!Copy !req
1539. Good.Copy !req
1540. "You can do whatever
you like with these."Copy !req
1541. Eggiwegs.Copy !req
1542. I would like...Copy !req
1543. to smash them.Copy !req
1544. And pick them all up...Copy !req
1545. and throw...Copy !req
1546. Fucking hell!Copy !req
1547. There. That's all there is to it.Copy !req
1548. Are you all right?Copy !req
1549. Hope so.Copy !req
1550. - Is that the end, then?
- Yes.Copy !req
1551. I was quite enjoying that.Copy !req
1552. Well, good. I'm glad.Copy !req
1553. How many did I get right?Copy !req
1554. It's not that kind of a test.Copy !req
1555. But you seem well on the way
to making a complete recovery.Copy !req
1556. - When do I get out of here, then?
- I'm sure it won't be long now.Copy !req
1557. So I waited.Copy !req
1558. And, O my brothers...Copy !req
1559. I got a lot better...Copy !req
1560. munching away at eggiwegs
and lomticks of toast...Copy !req
1561. and lovely steakie-wakes.Copy !req
1562. And then one day...Copy !req
1563. they said I was going to have
a very special visitor.Copy !req
1564. - Wait outside for a moment, would you?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
1565. I'm afraid my change of schedule
has thrown you.Copy !req
1566. The patient's in the middle
of supper.Copy !req
1567. That's quite all right, minister.
No trouble at all.Copy !req
1568. - Good evening, my boy.
- Hi there, my little droogies.Copy !req
1569. How're you getting on, young man?Copy !req
1570. Great, sir. Just great.Copy !req
1571. Can I do anything more for you?Copy !req
1572. I don't think so, Sir Leslie.
Thank you.Copy !req
1573. Then I leave you to it. Nurse.Copy !req
1574. Well, you seem to have a whole ward
to yourself, my boy.Copy !req
1575. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1576. And a very lonely place
it is too, sir...Copy !req
1577. when I wake up in the night
with me pain.Copy !req
1578. Yes. Well, anyway, good to see you
on the mend.Copy !req
1579. I kept in constant touch
with the hospital, of course.Copy !req
1580. And now I've come down personally...Copy !req
1581. to see how you're getting along.Copy !req
1582. I've suffered the tortures
of the damned, sir.Copy !req
1583. Tortures of the damned.Copy !req
1584. Yes, I can appreciate that
you have had an extremely dis...Copy !req
1585. Oh, look. Let me help you
with that, shall I?Copy !req
1586. Thank you, sir. Thank you.Copy !req
1587. I can tell you with all sincerity that I,
and the government of which I'm a member...Copy !req
1588. are deeply sorry about this,
my boy. Deeply sorry.Copy !req
1589. We tried to help you.Copy !req
1590. We followed recommendations which were
made to us that turned out to be wrong.Copy !req
1591. An inquiry will place the
responsibility where it belongs.Copy !req
1592. We want you to regard us
as friends.Copy !req
1593. We put you right.Copy !req
1594. You're getting
the best of treatment.Copy !req
1595. We never wished you harm.Copy !req
1596. But there are some who did, and do.Copy !req
1597. And I think you know who those are.Copy !req
1598. There are certain people who wanted
to use you for political ends.Copy !req
1599. They would have been
glad to have you dead...Copy !req
1600. for they thought they could then
blame it all on the government.Copy !req
1601. There is also a certain man...Copy !req
1602. a writer of subversive literature...Copy !req
1603. who has been howling
for your blood.Copy !req
1604. He's been mad with desire
to stick a knife into you.Copy !req
1605. But you're safe from him now.Copy !req
1606. We put him away.Copy !req
1607. He found out that you
had done wrong to him.Copy !req
1608. At least he believed
you had done wrong.Copy !req
1609. He formed this idea in his head
that you had been responsible...Copy !req
1610. for the death of someone
near and dear to him.Copy !req
1611. He was a menace.Copy !req
1612. We put him away
for his own protection.Copy !req
1613. And also for yours.Copy !req
1614. Where is he now, sir?Copy !req
1615. We put him away
where he can do you no harm.Copy !req
1616. You see, we are looking
after your interests.Copy !req
1617. We are interested in you.Copy !req
1618. And when you leave, you'll have no
worries. We'll see to everything.Copy !req
1619. A good job on a good salary.Copy !req
1620. What job and how much?Copy !req
1621. You must have an interesting job at
a salary you'd regard as adequate.Copy !req
1622. Not only for the job
you're going to do...Copy !req
1623. and in compensation for what
you believe you have suffered...Copy !req
1624. but also because
you are helping us.Copy !req
1625. Helping you, sir?Copy !req
1626. We always help our friends,
don't we?Copy !req
1627. It is no secret
that this government...Copy !req
1628. has lost a lot of popularity
because of you, my boy.Copy !req
1629. There are some who think that at
the next election we shall be out.Copy !req
1630. The press has chosen to take
a very unfavorable view...Copy !req
1631. of what we tried to do.Copy !req
1632. But public opinion
has a way of changing.Copy !req
1633. And you, Alex...Copy !req
1634. If I may call you Alex.Copy !req
1635. Certainly, sir.
What do they call you at home?Copy !req
1636. My name is Frederick.Copy !req
1637. As I was saying, Alex...Copy !req
1638. you can be instrumental
in changing the public's verdict.Copy !req
1639. Do you understand, Alex?Copy !req
1640. Do I make myself clear?Copy !req
1641. As an unmuddied lake, Fred.Copy !req
1642. As clear as an azure sky
of deepest summer.Copy !req
1643. You can rely on me, Fred.Copy !req
1644. Good.Copy !req
1645. Good boy.Copy !req
1646. Oh, yes.
I understand you're fond of music.Copy !req
1647. I have arranged a little
surprise for you.Copy !req
1648. Surprise?Copy !req
1649. One that I hope
that you will like...Copy !req
1650. as a...Copy !req
1651. How shall we put it?Copy !req
1652. As a symbol of
our new understanding.Copy !req
1653. An understanding
between two friends.Copy !req
1654. I was cured, all right.Copy !req
