1. I was a failure. I was a failure,
Copy !req
2. and I'd get very sad
and depressed about it.
Copy !req
3. And I can't be that no more.
Copy !req
4. I really feel like
I betrayed myself big time.
Copy !req
5. When I was growing up,
I had all the potential in the world.
Copy !req
6. Now I'm back to being Mark
who has a beer in his hand,
Copy !req
7. and is thinking about the great American
script and the great American movie.
Copy !req
8. This time I cannot fail.
I won't fail. It's not in me.
Copy !req
9. You don't get second chances
and mess them up. You'd be a fool to.
Copy !req
10. Not just finishing films
or in the long run, getting some money.
Copy !req
11. But right now, I feel like it's five,
ten, fifteen years ago,
Copy !req
12. and now I've got
the same options again.
Copy !req
13. This time I'm not gonna fail.
This time it's most important not to fail.
Copy !req
14. Just to drink and dream,
but rather to create and complete.
Copy !req
15. When did you first get involved
and how and why?
Copy !req
16. I think I had done a radio show
with Mark first.
Copy !req
17. And then, from—
As part of the radio show,
Copy !req
18. he had mentioned
other projects he was doing.
Copy !req
19. Not the 11th hour, this is the 12th hour.
Lisa and Uncle Ed, radio show.
Copy !req
20. "Dear girl, do you know what you possess?
Copy !req
21. Do you have any idea of its capabilities?
Copy !req
22. Do you have any reasonable semblance—"
Copy !req
23. Look, what we're doing right here—
It's past 3:00.
Copy !req
24. It's— Oh, my God, it's 20 after 3:00.
Copy !req
25. We've gotta get these pages printed,
get them straight to the copier.
Copy !req
26. We've got madmen putting
scarecrows up front, God knows why.
Copy !req
27. They have no pragmatic purpose
to this show,
Copy !req
28. but I like to keep the troops motivated.
Copy !req
29. Idle hands are known
to be the devil's workshop,
Copy !req
30. so we wanted
to keep things along, you know?
Copy !req
31. I'm sitting here,
you're asking me questions.
Copy !req
32. I'm trying to get this finished.
I've got people walking around.
Copy !req
33. I wish I could give them destinies,
but I have to adhere to this keyboard.
Copy !req
34. He asked me to come over
and help him out.
Copy !req
35. He said he needs some help.
I'm always helping him with his films.
Copy !req
36. We used to do a lot of partying together,
but I don't party any more.
Copy !req
37. "Dear girl, do you know
what you possess in your hand?
Copy !req
38. Do you have any idea
of its capabilities?
Copy !req
39. Do you have any inkling, any semblance
of understanding whatsoever?"
Copy !req
40. I just made that up. I want to
write that down. "Do you have any—?"
Copy !req
41. Stevens?
- He's ready.
Copy !req
42. Would you mind stepping out a minute?"
Copy !req
43. - Kicked out of my own kingdom?
Sorry. I owe you one.
Copy !req
44. - She's such a delightful—
Ken, listen up.
Copy !req
45. Why, thank you, Lisa.
That really makes my day.
Copy !req
46. I didn't know—
- That I was lurking, around the corner?
Copy !req
47. Well, then, surprise.
Copy !req
48. No!
Copy !req
49. No!
Copy !req
50. Well, we recorded The Creeps.
Copy !req
51. And while we were recording The Creeps,
Copy !req
52. I was smoking dope and drinking beer,
and it really struck me.
Copy !req
53. I was no longer paying attention
to the actors and the performances.
Copy !req
54. I thought, "My God,
what am I doing this for?" You know?
Copy !req
55. I realized also when I was recording
that I wasn't even a director.
Copy !req
56. I knew there was stilted performances,
Copy !req
57. and I did nothing
to rectify the situation.
Copy !req
58. So I think it's good
to face things like this
Copy !req
59. because then you can deal with them
and realize them.
Copy !req
60. When you're ready to shoot Northwestern,
Copy !req
61. you've got these emotions
and these complexities cornered.
Copy !req
62. U.W.M.
"Amount due: $878.54."
Copy !req
63. That's funny. I just borrowed
gas money from my ma tonight.
Copy !req
64. This is gonna be interesting.
The IRS, Wisconsin.
Copy !req
65. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
66. "Amount delinquent: $81.11 Oh, man.
Copy !req
67. "Resulting in a lien on any real
and personal property that you own
Copy !req
68. within 10 days of this notice."
Copy !req
69. September sixth,
and we're October 19.
Copy !req
70. Luckily, it's just $81.
What are they gonna take?
Copy !req
71. My Night of the Living Dead book?
Copy !req
72. Oh, my God. "Legal actions."
Copy !req
73. Unbelievable.
Copy !req
74. I mean, who wants
to be faced with this crap?
Copy !req
75. "Your AT&T Universal card has arrived"?
Copy !req
76. Oh, God! Kick-fucking-ass!
I got a MasterCard!
Copy !req
77. I don't believe it, man.
Life is kind of cool sometimes.
Copy !req
78. Explain what you're doing today, Mark.
Copy !req
79. Today I'm going to be
handing out flyers saying,
Copy !req
80. "Independent Feature Film."
Copy !req
81. It has the dates, the number
for the casting and the crew.
Copy !req
82. And we're going to get that out
to all the suburban libraries,
Copy !req
83. because a lot of people go there,
and they'll see that.
Copy !req
84. Cool. Right there.
Copy !req
85. I'll move this sucker right there.
Copy !req
86. I think that he first started, he was
Copy !req
87. 14, but he said he was 12.
Copy !req
88. It was quite possible, because I think
Copy !req
89. he was always talking filming
Copy !req
90. and that he was going
to make movies and so, always.
Copy !req
91. He used to have on his wall
in his bedroom
Copy !req
92. just a wall plastered with movie ads.
Copy !req
93. Mostly horror movie ads,
but movie ads of all kinds.
Copy !req
94. He got an eight-millimeter camera
from a guy down the street.
Copy !req
95. And the focus was terrible,
but instant filmmaker.
Copy !req
96. I'll tell you why films fail.
I'll tell you why films succeed.
Copy !req
97. I'll tell you about
this one right here, Northwestern.
Copy !req
98. A regular feature film
shot on black-and-white negative.
Copy !req
99. It'll look beautiful.
Copy !req
100. There's your secondary lead right there.
What do you think about that?
Copy !req
101. I mean, funding-wise,
do you have everything covered?
Copy !req
102. You're gonna be in a drive-in,
a beautiful drive-in,
Copy !req
103. with an umbrella of gray over you.
Copy !req
104. You're gonna be in a junkyard
Copy !req
105. with thousands of rusted memories
just laying there.
Copy !req
106. You are gonna be among
the company of filmmakers this time,
Copy !req
107. but you're gonna have something
under your belt, man,
Copy !req
108. besides whatever the hell
you throw in the wash.
Copy !req
109. He's like, "Ken, I'm gonna make a movie.
Will you star in it?"
Copy !req
110. I says, "Well, of course I will."
Copy !req
111. So we went to Valhalla Cemetery
Copy !req
112. and shot our first Super 8 film.
Copy !req
113. It was called The More the Scarier.
Copy !req
114. You know, I was 11 years
old at the time. He was 14.
Copy !req
115. Yeah, I was in
The More the Scarier III.
Copy !req
116. What was that about?
Copy !req
117. That was about—
Copy !req
118. Well, we were riding into a cemetery
in the back of a truck,
Copy !req
119. and we were drinking vodka,
and I was playing my guitar.
Copy !req
120. It's a silent film.
Copy !req
121. We go out into the woods,
Copy !req
122. and there's this mystery killer
that's killing all of us.
Copy !req
123. This is where the chick, Dawn,
runs her haunted house, right?
Copy !req
124. But it's got to have
some killer interiors, right?
Copy !req
125. 'Cause you don't know too many people
running haunted houses, right?
Copy !req
126. In films, it's ad executives
or whatever else the hell they do.
Copy !req
127. But this chick, man,
is gonna be running,
Copy !req
128. working, doing a haunted house
off to the side.
Copy !req
129. So you get some really cool
interior stuff there.
Copy !req
130. You know what I'm saying?
You ever see Manhattan?
Copy !req
131. You ever see The Seventh Seal
where they have these great dialogues
Copy !req
132. with these great backgrounds?
Copy !req
133. Talking about the plague,
and there's a gargoyle in the back,
Copy !req
134. or talking about life,
and there's Jupiter or Saturn in the back.
Copy !req
135. I mean, this just looks right.
Copy !req
136. This is perfect.
I mean, the way I see it.
Copy !req
137. Of course, there 'II be a whole
crowd of people here,
Copy !req
138. so we've got to make a line
where people can't go,
Copy !req
139. have a lot of assistant directors saying,
Copy !req
140. "Hey, could you step back,
like, five feet?"
Copy !req
141. I was reading an interview of him,
and he's going,
Copy !req
142. "This is my dream. Ever since
I was a kid filming in a cemetery,
Copy !req
143. I've dreamt of making a feature film."
Copy !req
144. I was, like, "Oh, my God!"
Copy !req
145. You know, this is his whole life,
making this one film.
Copy !req
146. I can lose ten weekends to help him.
Copy !req
147. A synopsis on the story?
Yeah.
Copy !req
148. Okay, we're gonna go—
The film starts- Check it out.
Copy !req
149. Beautiful, stunning black-and-white shot
right now at the magic hour,
Copy !req
150. as we float past dilapidated duplexes,
worn trailer courts.
Copy !req
151. I've been location-scouting them.
Copy !req
152. So when I do this, I've already
got what's in between my hands.
Copy !req
153. Right then at that moment, people say,
"My God, I'm glad I'm sitting here,
Copy !req
154. because I'm actually
seeing something for once."
Copy !req
155. We get to see Americans
and American dreams,
Copy !req
156. and you won't walk away
depressed after seeing this.
Copy !req
157. Period.
Copy !req
158. My name is Matthew We is man,
and I'm working on—
Copy !req
159. I'm working on a film
entitled Northwestern.
Copy !req
160. I'm doing casting
for the film right now.
Copy !req
161. Okay.
Copy !req
162. Um, do you wanna know about the film?
Copy !req
163. Yeah, I do.
Copy !req
164. A 186-minute phone call
to California at prime rates?
Copy !req
165. What could you talk to that stupid-ass
brother of yours about for that long?
Copy !req
166. You know he's been having
psychological problems lately!
Copy !req
167. Not on my phone bill, he doesn't!
Copy !req
168. Take a motherfucking wild guess.
Copy !req
169. Well, look here. A 186-minute phone call
to California on prime time?
Copy !req
170. What is that?
Copy !req
171. They're making a mockery
out of my words, man.
Copy !req
172. This whole thing is turning
into a theatrical mockery.
Copy !req
173. - You understand that, Mike?
- No.
Copy !req
174. Well, you will.
Copy !req
175. I'm going to go in there flying, man,
Copy !req
176. and read this fucker like it's supposed
to be read, 'cause I've had it.
Copy !req
177. You stupid fucking bitch!
Copy !req
178. There's a 100-and-fucking-86
fucking-minute phone call!
Copy !req
179. - At goddamn prime time!
- I paid the fucking bill!
Copy !req
180. I'm calling you to let you know
there is a cast meeting tomorrow night.
Copy !req
181. There's a lot of work
we have to scrape together,
Copy !req
182. and hopefully everything will collide
and we'll make our deadline.
Copy !req
183. I come to the airport all the time
when I want to work.
Copy !req
184. There's no phones ringing.
There's no people talking to you.
Copy !req
185. If you're hungry, it's like, tough shit.
Copy !req
186. You can't stop and justify
your inaction of script writing
Copy !req
187. by making a pizza or something.
Copy !req
188. You gotta be in this car.
You have no other choice.
Copy !req
189. Why the hell are we here?
Copy !req
190. We're working on Northwestern,
the third draft.
Copy !req
191. I've gotta get it
so it's not embarrassing to give out.
Copy !req
192. You know what I mean?
Copy !req
193. There's some corny dialogue
that would make the Pope weep,
Copy !req
194. and I've gotta resurrect that,
so to speak.
Copy !req
195. "I feel so trapped.
Copy !req
196. You know how long
we've been living together?
Copy !req
197. Since high school.
She dropped out. I graduated.
Copy !req
198. Her dad sold the house.
It's almost paid off.
Copy !req
199. Why don't you move out?
It's a free country.
Copy !req
200. I don't know. I guess
it's just one of those things."
Copy !req
201. Who the hell in their right mind
would tell the world,
Copy !req
202. "Yeah, I'm gonna do this."
Copy !req
203. And then think, "Man, I'm broke.
I gotta get gas tomorrow."
Copy !req
204. And dude's talking about
making a feature film. Shit.
Copy !req
205. Now we're gonna talk about
high-level negotiations,
Copy !req
206. because for the first time in your life,
you're gonna make a profit.
Copy !req
207. Just like that.
Copy !req
208. No, you haven't even
started at all, hardly.
Copy !req
209. Well, not hardly. You did start somewhat,
yeah, but not very much.
Copy !req
210. Bill, traditionally, is quite
Copy !req
211. close to his money.
Copy !req
212. And, uh, it's quite a challenge
to pry anything loose from him,
Copy !req
213. money wise.
Copy !req
214. And Mark, on the other hand,
Copy !req
215. has, if anybody,
the ability to pry it loose.
Copy !req
216. Let me show you something, William.
Copy !req
217. Hm.
Copy !req
218. - Talk to me. That's right.
- Wow. How about that? Wow.
Copy !req
219. - She wants to be in your film, Bill.
- Oh, my gosh.
Copy !req
220. Okay, we can start then.
Copy !req
221. Um... Tom, why don't you
show us what you've got,
Copy !req
222. as in the way of breakdown.
Copy !req
223. My duties on Northwestern
are those of the production manager.
Copy !req
224. I've gone over the script
on a scene-by-scene basis.
Copy !req
225. We've got it all broken down—
Color-coded broken down,
Copy !req
226. so everything from cast
to props to atmosphere, stunts—
Copy !req
227. I think what Mark's idea of this film,
Copy !req
228. and Torn Beach's idea of a film
are just so different.
Copy !req
229. Both of them are knowledgeable filmmakers,
but it's a different kind of knowledge.
Copy !req
230. One's more primeval
and one's more textbook.
Copy !req
231. The location type,
which would be interior day,
Copy !req
232. night, exterior night, day.
Copy !req
233. See, you've got to get a cameraman,
a sound recorder, a boom operator,
Copy !req
234. an assistant cameraman
to do the clap like that.
Copy !req
235. Then you want a couple others
on the sideline running things around.
Copy !req
236. As far as where Mark's film stands now,
Copy !req
237. um, I'm not really too sure.
Copy !req
238. I know that we kind of have—
Copy !req
239. We sort of have had a breakdown
in communication lately.
Copy !req
240. Thanks a lot, though.
Uh-huh.
Copy !req
241. You know what would be really cool?
Copy !req
242. A cup of coffee.
- Okay, I'll make some.
Copy !req
243. So I can get the hell out of this bed.
Copy !req
244. You know how many phone calls
there are sitting there?
Copy !req
245. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
246. A lot.
Copy !req
247. I'll put on the coffee.
Copy !req
248. I'd like to sleep here all day,
but I can't.
Copy !req
249. I gotta type up sheets and have them
copied for the meeting tonight.
Copy !req
250. Man, I gotta get
some information across.
Copy !req
251. There's no excuses, Paul.
Copy !req
252. No one has ever, ever paid
admission to see an excuse.
Copy !req
253. No one has ever faced
a black screen that says,
Copy !req
254. "Well, if we had these
set of circumstances,
Copy !req
255. we would've shot this scene,
Copy !req
256. so please forgive us
and use your imagination."
Copy !req
257. I've been to the movies hundreds of times.
That's never occurred.
Copy !req
258. You know,
it's like you're the lone man on this—
Copy !req
259. The lone captain
on this big-ass ocean liner.
Copy !req
260. It's like, goddamn,
I need people to cook the food,
Copy !req
261. I need people to run the motors,
Copy !req
262. I need people to make sure
we don't go into the rocks and so forth.
Copy !req
263. It's like that.
Copy !req
264. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
265. At about 12:30,
the realization seriously hit me.
Copy !req
266. No way. I have absolutely
no fucking money.
Copy !req
267. I have no hope of getting
any money until Coven is finished.
Copy !req
268. Aesthetically, I'm not ready.
Copy !req
269. The script is not ready.
Copy !req
270. The casting hasn't even begun.
Copy !req
271. The locations are scant at best.
Copy !req
272. Are you crazy?
That's 11 days away from now.
Copy !req
273. My first impression of him
was he looks like a pretty raw dog.
Copy !req
274. You know he's pretty tall
and crazy looking.
Copy !req
275. I liked it.
Copy !req
276. He showed a lot of promise,
uh, as far as schooling—
Copy !req
277. That is, his testing was concerned.
Not that he was that great a student.
Copy !req
278. But he qualified for that gifted schooling
system they have in Milwaukee.
Copy !req
279. He dropped out of high school,
Copy !req
280. because he thought
he didn't learn anything there.
Copy !req
281. His main asset is really
just his mouth, his talking.
Copy !req
282. He can be pretty convincing,
Copy !req
283. because he's very assertive,
very aggressive.
Copy !req
284. And, um...
Copy !req
285. But what he actually can do—
Copy !req
286. I think he's just best suited
for working in a factory maybe.
Copy !req
287. When he decided to join the Army,
Copy !req
288. I think that was not only
a decision to get away from here,
Copy !req
289. but to try to straighten out his life.
Copy !req
290. And, um, it didn't work too well.
Copy !req
291. Mark moved back
from the Army and said,
Copy !req
292. "You know, let's make another film."
Copy !req
293. You know? And, um...
Copy !req
294. And made a couple of shorts,
you know, from there.
Copy !req
295. Then along came Coven.
Copy !req
296. This is ridiculous. We started May '94.
We've got every f-stop known in the film.
Copy !req
297. And right now we've got to take action.
We've got to go out to that field,
Copy !req
298. put those scarecrows in on a killer slant.
Copy !req
299. They've been there for years.
The farm's burnt down.
Copy !req
300. It's going to be the opening
shots for Coven, you know.
Copy !req
301. - What is Coven?
- Coven's a 35-minute
Copy !req
302. direct-market thriller film shot on
16-millimeter black-and-white reversal.
Copy !req
303. Uh, it's an alcoholic man compelled
to go to this group meeting
Copy !req
304. by his one and only friend left.
Copy !req
305. But they're not that helpful, the group.
Copy !req
306. - You know about the group thing?
- Uh, yeah.
Copy !req
307. Okay. So that's what
we're doing a film on.
Copy !req
308. Coven, man. We got to get this
sucker done, seriously.
Copy !req
309. Last night, I was so drunk
I was calling Morocco,
Copy !req
310. calling, trying to get the hotel Hilton
at Tangiers and Casablanca.
Copy !req
311. That's pathetic, man.
Copy !req
312. Is that what you want
to do with your life?
Copy !req
313. Suck down Peppermint Schnapps
Copy !req
314. and try to call Morocco
at 2:00 in the morning?
Copy !req
315. That's senseless.
But that's what happens, man.
Copy !req
316. So we're out here today
to try to redeem it,
Copy !req
317. get these establishing shots for Coven.
Copy !req
318. Do what you can, you know?
Copy !req
319. We're in America today,
and we're ready to roll.
Copy !req
320. One, two, three...
Copy !req
321. Check it out, Mike.
Copy !req
322. You know the placement of the scarecrows?
Copy !req
323. What they're doing here?
One's got to be on this angle.
Copy !req
324. The other one's gonna be
on the other angle.
Copy !req
325. Check it out
when you look at the scarecrows.
Copy !req
326. Do you see?
Copy !req
327. - Do you get it? Okay.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
328. We did a lot of fun things
making a movie.
Copy !req
329. One time, we brought Mark's car
Copy !req
330. into a vacant drive-through theater,
Copy !req
331. took iron rods and smashed up his car.
Copy !req
332. Another time, we dragged Mark, like,
Copy !req
333. headfirst through a swamp, like, 25 times.
Copy !req
334. Coven relates to Northwestern
in this sense.
Copy !req
335. If I don't go into the black with Coven,
if I don't make money back,
Copy !req
336. how am I gonna make Northwestern?
Copy !req
337. I've got to make money back on Coven.
Copy !req
338. When I did these figures—
500, 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 units, right?
Copy !req
339. I said, "Check this out."
Fuck this, man!
Copy !req
340. It's— I'm sorry for erasing that.
But it's 3,000 units for 45 grand.
Copy !req
341. Because if I don't get that 45 grand,
I will not be shit.
Copy !req
342. There's no 500 copies.
There's no 1,000. There's no 2,000.
Copy !req
343. There's fucking 3,000 to be sold.
Copy !req
344. If I don't get that, I will never get—
Uh— Uh—
Copy !req
345. The ability to make Northwestern.
Copy !req
346. You're signing for it,
because those checks
Copy !req
347. are gonna be in
Northwest Productions' name.
Copy !req
348. - And 3,000 plus interest if you want.
Northwestern's name?
Copy !req
349. That's the title of the company.
Copy !req
350. That's who the checks get made out to.
Copy !req
351. Three thousand dollars
of those checks goes to you.
Copy !req
352. You get your three grand back.
Copy !req
353. Doesn't sound very kosher to me.
Copy !req
354. Just make sure they're endorsed
"Northwest Productions."
Copy !req
355. "Northwest Productions." Okay.
Copy !req
356. He's the only name on it?
William Borchardt?
Copy !req
357. How am I gonna know
about all this that you're doing?
Copy !req
358. It cannot leave the account
without your signature.
Copy !req
359. - I don't know what you're doing.
- No, no.
Copy !req
360. - Do you understand?
- I don't have the books.
Copy !req
361. - No one can take anything.
- You get a statement every month.
Copy !req
362. Nobody can take any money out
unless you sign for it.
Copy !req
363. See?
Copy !req
364. It's under your control.
- Sounds like the usual.
Copy !req
365. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
366. All right. Here, shake on it.
Copy !req
367. - Eh...
- There you have it.
Copy !req
368. Well, Columbus took a chance.
Lindbergh took a chance.
Copy !req
369. Have faith.
Copy !req
370. Faith on nothing.
Copy !req
371. Bill, you can't go out like that.
You gotta be—
Copy !req
372. You gotta be upbeat.
- Yeah. I mean, you gotta—
Copy !req
373. It's gonna work.
A lot of good that is.
Copy !req
374. When you go in the grave,
and you're laying there in the casket,
Copy !req
375. the last hurrah, the final goodbye,
Copy !req
376. what are you gonna think about, Bill?
Copy !req
377. - Huh?
You tell me.
Copy !req
378. Well, that's the whole deal, man.
Copy !req
379. You've got to assert yourself
and think, "I am here because—"
Copy !req
380. You ever think about that?
Copy !req
381. "I am here because."
Copy !req
382. Hey, man, you have two hours tomorrow
Copy !req
383. from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
and be an extra in a film?
Copy !req
384. Are you sure about that, Charlie?
Copy !req
385. Do you know where I live?
Copy !req
386. I live two blocks from you.
Copy !req
387. All right, dude. You got a pen?
Copy !req
388. Can you get a pen?
Copy !req
389. You've seen a lot of movies, haven't you?
Copy !req
390. Yeah.
Copy !req
391. And you basically know
how to frame shots?
Copy !req
392. I guess so. Not really.
Copy !req
393. But if you would see an action,
Copy !req
394. you would kind of, like,
centrifugally focus on it,
Copy !req
395. it being in the center?
Copy !req
396. Yeah, I can figure that out. Yeah.
Copy !req
397. Fuck it. I think my ma's gonna
have to go out in the woods.
Copy !req
398. It's one of those things.
Copy !req
399. I have my shopping to do,
and I have so much—
Copy !req
400. I know. This is the last day I can shoot.
All of the extras fell through,
Copy !req
401. except for Mike Schank
right there, all right?
Copy !req
402. You gotta help me.
Copy !req
403. Mark, I have so much to do.
Copy !req
404. - I'm doomed. I'm doomed.
What am I supposed to do?
Copy !req
405. Just stand there.
Copy !req
406. Hey, Mike, make sure
everyone has brown gloves.
Copy !req
407. Does everyone have brown gloves?
Copy !req
408. No, dude, dude, dude.
Copy !req
409. You got— You got—
Copy !req
410. I have some here.
Okay, yeah.
Copy !req
411. Shot the group of the coven,
and then I got one shot,
Copy !req
412. which is a close-up of me
Copy !req
413. and one shot of a swish right to left
of a tight of a coven member
Copy !req
414. as he sees him for the first time.
Copy !req
415. Yeah.
Copy !req
416. Yeah, low angle, man.
Copy !req
417. Then I need somebody to scale the tree
and get that snow off.
Copy !req
418. Son of a fucking bitch.
Everybody just come up for a second.
Copy !req
419. Right up to the camera.
Copy !req
420. I'm just gonna go wide on you.
Copy !req
421. Yep. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
422. Okay, this is kind of great.
Copy !req
423. Okay, you got to spread apart
about five feet each.
Copy !req
424. Jump that way. Okay, very cool.
Copy !req
425. Kenny, can you please put
my soda on the tarp
Copy !req
426. so it's not frozen when we're done?
Copy !req
427. I'd like to drink it, please.
Copy !req
428. Five—
Copy !req
429. We're gonna do, like,
a five-six-eight split then.
Copy !req
430. You guys gotta look menacing.
Can you be more menacing?
Copy !req
431. Oh, man. All right.
Copy !req
432. We gotta do what we can do,
then, I guess.
Copy !req
433. I think it went pretty good,
but I don't want to say that
Copy !req
434. until I see the footage,
Copy !req
435. because you never know
what's gonna happen.
Copy !req
436. I've been out here five fucking times now
doing the same shit.
Copy !req
437. But I'll fucking get this down,
and I think with these last four shots
Copy !req
438. we might have this fucker in the can.
Copy !req
439. - Cut. How's that, man? Talk to me.
- Good.
Copy !req
440. - Okay.
- We can't see your beard.
Copy !req
441. How's that?
Copy !req
442. - What do you see?
- You can see part of the beard.
Copy !req
443. - Okay. This is the edge of the close-up.
- Fuck it. You're right.
Copy !req
444. Man, I go out here— Just go out there
Copy !req
445. for an hour, two hours,
drive around these houses, man.
Copy !req
446. It's like, "Okay, now I know
what I'm here for again."
Copy !req
447. Fine. You got that squared away.
Copy !req
448. But to be serious, the American dream
stays with me each and every day.
Copy !req
449. I'm glad we're doing this today,
Copy !req
450. because I was really getting down and out.
Copy !req
451. And thank God they extended my phone bill
till Friday and lowered it too.
Copy !req
452. But, anyway— So today, man,
Copy !req
453. I'm just gonna go right back to work,
so we can get—
Copy !req
454. My house ain't gonna look like this.
Copy !req
455. It's gonna be flatter, a lot flatter
and less obnoxious than this.
Copy !req
456. He wants to have
the good life eventually.
Copy !req
457. He wants the big house
and the nice car and all that.
Copy !req
458. But at this point,
Copy !req
459. uh, you know, for the last,
I don't know, 10, 15 years
Copy !req
460. he's been delivering newspapers.
Copy !req
461. Then I realized one thing. In kind of
a Christian-coated ethical arena,
Copy !req
462. why should you be successful
while others are not?
Copy !req
463. You know what? I got over that guilt.
Copy !req
464. 'Cause you know what?
Hey, I don't know that answer.
Copy !req
465. I don't know why. It feels like—
Copy !req
466. In a Christian—
what Jesus would be saying.
Copy !req
467. It's totally un-Christian
to try to get ahead,
Copy !req
468. because everyone's on an equal,
level playing field, an equal par.
Copy !req
469. But you know what?
I'm not a Christian.
Copy !req
470. I'm a half-and-half.
Copy !req
471. Half's the Satanist idea
and half the Christian idea.
Copy !req
472. Satanist, which is the pursuit
of human endeavors,
Copy !req
473. and Christianity, which is the pursuit
of higher levels, you know?
Copy !req
474. Okay, part of the script
is asking for a junkyard.
Copy !req
475. Um, there's actually several scenes.
Copy !req
476. This new girlfriend is slick. She's cool.
Copy !req
477. - Yeah.
- You know? And she's, you know—
Copy !req
478. How did you meet this girl, Mark?
Copy !req
479. She's helping on the film, man.
Copy !req
480. If he's able to even do
25 percent of what he says,
Copy !req
481. it is more than
what most people accomplish.
Copy !req
482. He's got a goal and he's going after it,
one way or another.
Copy !req
483. And he's gonna achieve it.
Copy !req
484. Don't push me, you fox.
Copy !req
485. - I don't care.
- [Cee-Cee] You're not a fox.
Copy !req
486. Happy birthday, little Cee-Cee.
Copy !req
487. [Cee-Cee] No.
Copy !req
488. You are a—
Copy !req
489. 'Hey, what are you saying?
Pee-pee.
Copy !req
490. Say, "Hi, Daddy."
Copy !req
491. - Hi.
Hi, pee-pee Daddy.
Copy !req
492. Happy birthday.
Copy !req
493. Mark's got three kids by Alyssa.
Copy !req
494. Uh...
Copy !req
495. I don't know. From what Mark tells me,
they never get along anymore.
Copy !req
496. Alyssa shouldn't be worrying
about what I'm doing.
Copy !req
497. I could just be having
a fine time with Joan there.
Copy !req
498. There's, like, lots of connections
when there's kids,
Copy !req
499. and, urn, sometimes it's not broken off
Copy !req
500. as quickly as it should be.
Copy !req
501. How do you feel about Joan?
- I like her.
Copy !req
502. In fact, that's the one girl
that I really respect and like,
Copy !req
503. because she's fun to be around.
Copy !req
504. You know?
And I don't want to mess that up.
Copy !req
505. Bill! Hey, man, how are you doing?
All right.
Copy !req
506. You're just sitting there, eh?
Copy !req
507. Hey, cheer up, man. The world is yours.
Copy !req
508. - What are you doing?
- Just sitting here.
Copy !req
509. What, contemplating
what you did with your life?
Copy !req
510. - Yeah, sort of.
- What did you do with your life?
Copy !req
511. Well, What didn't I do?
Copy !req
512. What are your plans for the future?
Copy !req
513. Doesn't look like I've got much plans.
Copy !req
514. I heard you're gonna be
a big-time movie producer.
Copy !req
515. - Really?
- Well, good news, Bill.
Copy !req
516. We're working very hard.
You'll have your 3,000 back very soon.
Copy !req
517. - Really?
- Yep. And—
Copy !req
518. We've got the whole tomorrow
story boarded out. Here.
Copy !req
519. I know. I saw that
a couple of times already.
Copy !req
520. When did you see the storyboards?
Copy !req
521. Well, you gave it to me to peruse.
Copy !req
522. So I did.
Copy !req
523. You perused them? Where are they?
Copy !req
524. It's over there, under there.
Copy !req
525. How come every time I give you something,
it ends up under the shoes or something?
Copy !req
526. Within weeks, the film will be cut,
finished, mixed,
Copy !req
527. thrown in an optical track
on the release print,
Copy !req
528. get it into 3/4 inch, bump it down
to 1/2 inch for multiple sales.
Copy !req
529. - What do you think about that?
- Multiple sales to whom?
Copy !req
530. To the buying audience.
We're selling 3,000 units.
Copy !req
531. Who's the buying audience?
Copy !req
532. Bill, man, we're selling 3,000 units
at $14.95 each,
Copy !req
533. which is a return of 45 grand.
Copy !req
534. Pay for the damn film,
get the three grand back,
Copy !req
535. pay everyone back, take the profits.
Copy !req
536. That'll be the day. That'll be the day.
Copy !req
537. I'm gonna bring over a bottle of wine.
Do you have a preference?
Copy !req
538. - That'll be the day.
- Red or white wine?
Copy !req
539. Red or white?
Copy !req
540. Red or white?
Copy !req
541. Yeah, now you're thinking.
Copy !req
542. And you get your name on the credits,
as a producer.
Copy !req
543. [Bill, sarcastically] Yay.
Copy !req
544. You are on the one-way path to hell.
Copy !req
545. - How's it going?
- Really good.
Copy !req
546. - Looking good.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
547. Action.
- No, this is all wrong.
Copy !req
548. Goddamn it! It's too claustrophobic.
Copy !req
549. I don't know why Mark is spending
all this time completing Coven
Copy !req
550. when this is supposed to be
his pre-production time for Northwestern,
Copy !req
551. which I was originally involved with.
Copy !req
552. He's supposed to be
taking care of my money
Copy !req
553. and doesn't tell me
a damn thing about it.
Copy !req
554. And neither does the bank
or anybody else.
Copy !req
555. How much money do you have?
Copy !req
556. 280,000 bucks.
Copy !req
557. Supposed to be,
but I don't know if it actually is.
Copy !req
558. I spoke to some of the actors here today
Copy !req
559. and they said this has been
going on for two years.
Copy !req
560. And one way you got to look at it—
He's a determined motherfucker
Copy !req
561. if he's stuck this out
for a half-hour film.
Copy !req
562. So I guess he probably will
get Northwestern finished.
Copy !req
563. All we wanna do is finalize the kitchen,
get the props set,
Copy !req
564. and all of that stuff
ready for Tom's close-up.
Copy !req
565. We gotta keep moving, man.
We got to move, move, move, move.
Copy !req
566. That's the bottom line. It's a noisy day.
Copy !req
567. This is supposed to take place
in the dead of winter, but there's birds.
Copy !req
568. You hear those birds?
Copy !req
569. They're just going,
so I'll cover that up a little bit more
Copy !req
570. and just make the best
of it that you can.
Copy !req
571. I was actually looking
at the storyboard here.
Copy !req
572. I hadn't looked at it since yesterday.
Copy !req
573. It refreshed my memory
about shot 37 here
Copy !req
574. where my head
goes through the cupboard.
Copy !req
575. I had done this one about a year and
a half ago or whenever we filmed it last.
Copy !req
576. This was the one shot that I had hoped
that we got right the first time.
Copy !req
577. Mark.
Copy !req
578. Mike, take it easy. Let's not go through—
Copy !req
579. Hey, man, what the fuck's
the matter with you, man?
Copy !req
580. Man.
Copy !req
581. Did you get it?
Oh, you did follow me.
Copy !req
582. Yeah.
Copy !req
583. - We didn't move out?
No.
Copy !req
584. - Okay, we've got to move out, man.
Right.
Copy !req
585. We're going do a take. A take three.
Copy !req
586. It's about 11:30 in the morning.
Copy !req
587. We got till 6:00 p.m.
to do 52 fucking shots.
Copy !req
588. We're gonna do it, and we're gonna end it
in a beautiful fucking blood bath.
Copy !req
589. So, I don't want to—
Copy !req
590. I'll be right there! I got the
perfect blankets. I just found them.
Copy !req
591. That camera will be silent.
Copy !req
592. What the fuck is wrong with you, man?
Copy !req
593. What the fuck is wrong with you, man?
Copy !req
594. - What the fuck is—?
Copy !req
595. Don't fuck with me!
Copy !req
596. We're running a little late here,
and I'm getting set up for the last shot.
Copy !req
597. You know, I always give a finite time
that I'm gonna end,
Copy !req
598. so I can get out of here
at a reasonable time.
Copy !req
599. But I'm also aware that it's kind of
Mark's dream to finish the film.
Copy !req
600. So I try to strike a balance.
You know, not split too early.
Copy !req
601. This is the door that Steve—
Copy !req
602. Tom Schimmels—
is gonna get his head put through.
Copy !req
603. I put a few scores in here
to lessen the blow.
Copy !req
604. So no permanent damage done to him.
I'm sure he appreciates that.
Copy !req
605. Sorry. Your finger all right?
Copy !req
606. And action.
Copy !req
607. Motherfucker, man! Motherfucker, man!
Copy !req
608. - Motherfucker!
Guys! Guys!
Copy !req
609. Oh, man, you all right?
Yeah.
Copy !req
610. - What?
Well, this door opened up.
Copy !req
611. Dude, you missed that scoring, man.
Copy !req
612. Motherfucker!
Copy !req
613. All right. Hold on, man.
Cut, cut, out, cut, out.
Copy !req
614. Get this man an ice pack.
Copy !req
615. Oh, dude. You know what?
Copy !req
616. I'm sorry I tried
to put your head in this.
Copy !req
617. This is gonna take some shit.
Copy !req
618. Go.
Copy !req
619. Action.
- You sick motherfucker!
Copy !req
620. Motherfucking crazy—
Come out here, man! Come out here, man!
Copy !req
621. Nerves twitching, please.
Fingers. Just the fingers.
Copy !req
622. Just the fingers.
Just the fingers, man.
Copy !req
623. Heartbeat.
Copy !req
624. The name of the film is Coven.
Copy !req
625. It's pronounced "Coh-vin."
What else could it be pronounced?
Copy !req
626. - "Coven," that's the proper pronunciation.
- No, no. No, no.
Copy !req
627. - "Coven" sounds like "oven."
- No. No.
Copy !req
628. - That just doesn't work.
- "Coh-vin."
Copy !req
629. "Coh-vin."
Copy !req
630. "Coh-vin"?
Copy !req
631. Unless you want to put
an umlaut or something over the O.
Copy !req
632. A what?
Copy !req
633. Hold on a second. Those two dots?
Copy !req
634. Yes.
Copy !req
635. Possible.
Copy !req
636. There's something cinematic about it.
Copy !req
637. It's like a stage or something.
Copy !req
638. You look all around you.
The graveyard is like a stage.
Copy !req
639. All of these dead people.
It's, like, they can't bitch at you.
Copy !req
640. You don't have to hear their opinions.
They're there, though.
Copy !req
641. They're here as
decent human beings, finally.
Copy !req
642. Here you are equal.
Copy !req
643. Parents would be coming after you
because you had a movie camera in one hand
Copy !req
644. and a beer in another.
Copy !req
645. They wouldn't tolerate.
That was and is the joy of life.
Copy !req
646. That wasn't tolerated, man,
when you were 14, 15 years old.
Copy !req
647. They'd start coming after you.
Copy !req
648. So you'd get out here
into the cemetery
Copy !req
649. with your beer and your film camera,
Copy !req
650. and you were one with the world
and equal with the world.
Copy !req
651. It was a vast work field.
Copy !req
652. He'd always say
he was gonna become a millionaire
Copy !req
653. and all of us would be jealous of him.
Copy !req
654. It didn't really make us envious of him.
It just made, at least me anyway,
Copy !req
655. feel kind of sorry for him, pity him,
that he felt that way.
Copy !req
656. Honestly, I thought he was going to
grow up to be a stalker or a serial killer
Copy !req
657. or do something where he would
try to plan someone's death, you know?
Copy !req
658. And, unfortunately,
sometimes that idea that it might be mine.
Copy !req
659. What were the films that
influenced you most when you were younger?
Copy !req
660. Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead
and Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Copy !req
661. What about those films influenced you?
Copy !req
662. Simple.
Copy !req
663. Dawn of the Dead seemed a lot
more realistic than Hollywood films.
Copy !req
664. There was gray skies and dead trees
Copy !req
665. and the National Guard out there.
Copy !req
666. It was just something
I didn't see in other films.
Copy !req
667. It was great. The dialogue was different.
Copy !req
668. There was blood. Night of the Living Dead
was in black-and-white.
Copy !req
669. Dead trees and gray skies.
Copy !req
670. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Copy !req
671. was one of those 16-millimeter
accident films they'd show you in school.
Copy !req
672. You know, the grain of it
and the saturated color of it.
Copy !req
673. Just really— I 'd be having nightmares.
That was really like being alive
Copy !req
674. and watching something instead
of something dead, like a Hollywood film.
Copy !req
675. What was the last movie he took you to?
Copy !req
676. Apocalypse Now.
Copy !req
677. Did you like it?
Copy !req
678. He kept on saying, "The horrors."
Copy !req
679. Who said that?
- The guy on Apocalypse Now.
Copy !req
680. I'm pretty sure my mom and dad live here.
Well, they keep an address here.
Copy !req
681. Even though my dad,
he's not around very much.
Copy !req
682. My mom— Swedish girl.
Copy !req
683. Uh, a little excitable.
Copy !req
684. Um, and my mother and my father
don't mix very well.
Copy !req
685. The home environment wasn't what—
Copy !req
686. Had I had a say in what it should be,
Copy !req
687. it would have been somewhat different,
Copy !req
688. Um...
Copy !req
689. in that—
Well, no, that's getting into personal—
Copy !req
690. There always was conflict.
You never knew what was gonna happen.
Copy !req
691. Sometimes it would be a little bit scary.
Copy !req
692. I think how he dealt with it was
completely withdrawing from the family.
Copy !req
693. Two tens and two dollars.
Copy !req
694. So I'll either win ten
or a dollar if I win.
Copy !req
695. I didn't win anything.
Copy !req
696. - Yep, life is hard.
- Life is hard.
Copy !req
697. A potato.
Copy !req
698. I need a mirac-
I won two dollars on this one.
Copy !req
699. - Oh, you did?
- Yeah. See? Two dollars.
Copy !req
700. It's two dollars,
plus a potato is two dollars.
Copy !req
701. I've been losing about
ten bucks a day for the last week.
Copy !req
702. Here's what I think of the lottery.
Copy !req
703. I think it's, like,
when you play the lottery,
Copy !req
704. sometimes you win
and sometimes you lose.
Copy !req
705. But it's better
than using drugs or alcohol,
Copy !req
706. because when you use
drugs or alcohol,
Copy !req
707. especially drugs, you always lose.
Copy !req
708. I'm telling this to my ma.
His Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor
Copy !req
709. drives him over to his
Gamblers Anonymous meetings.
Copy !req
710. - Yeah. His sponsor also has a problem.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
711. How does your sponsor gamble?
Copy !req
712. No— Well, I mean,
does he do scratch-offs?
Copy !req
713. He goes there for scratch-off problems?
Copy !req
714. Maybe he buys $5 ones.
Copy !req
715. What do you owe?
How much do you owe?
Copy !req
716. - Dude, I owe, like, 10,000 to my dad,
- That's nothing.
Copy !req
717. 3,600 to child support,
Copy !req
718. one and a half thousand to the IRS.
Copy !req
719. MasterCard, 500.
Marshall Field's card for about 100.
Copy !req
720. The phone, probably 300.
Copy !req
721. I owe, like, state tax, 50.
Copy !req
722. I mean, that's not paying the state tax—
Copy !req
723. Did you say Cliff said
he won't give Mark any more money?
Copy !req
724. No, he said this is enough,
because he owes him so much.
Copy !req
725. I'm not interested
in financing something
Copy !req
726. that I can't be 100 percent
in sympathy with myself.
Copy !req
727. He'd have to cut out
the language part of it
Copy !req
728. and get off this kick with the bottle
and all that sort of thing.
Copy !req
729. What we've gotta do
Copy !req
730. is film you coming down like that
at the same pace
Copy !req
731. as you coming into the leg like that.
Copy !req
732. I don't know what about
his movies he's making,
Copy !req
733. the message he's trying to send.
Copy !req
734. If they're supposed to be entertaining,
have some kind of moral value.
Copy !req
735. I don't know. It just seems to me that
Copy !req
736. with movies out there,
Copy !req
737. so many movies being made
and such a big selection,
Copy !req
738. that people can choose from,
what is it about these movies
Copy !req
739. that he thinks are special
Copy !req
740. that people will go out
of their way to purchase?
Copy !req
741. Here we go.
He bent your knife. Hold on.
Copy !req
742. - That sucked, man.
- Let me unbend it. Hold on.
Copy !req
743. Don't cut yourself.
Copy !req
744. One day, I was partying in my basement.
Copy !req
745. I always used to get pissed off inside,
Copy !req
746. 'cause I would want to party really heavy
Copy !req
747. and no one else would, you know.
Copy !req
748. Then, all of a sudden, Mark came over,
Copy !req
749. and, uh, either I had a bottle of vodka
or he had a bottle of vodka.
Copy !req
750. But, anyway, we were drinking vodka,
and I was so happy
Copy !req
751. that I found someone who would
drink vodka with me, you know.
Copy !req
752. So Mark would drink vodka
with me all the time.
Copy !req
753. I'd go over there all the time,
Copy !req
754. and we'd buy a fifth of vodka,
and we'd share it, you know.
Copy !req
755. And, uh, that really made me happy.
Copy !req
756. Get ready again.
Put your hand on the button.
Copy !req
757. Now, I'm serious, man.
Make sure it stays integrated, enmeshed.
Copy !req
758. Okay, action.
Copy !req
759. Keep it rolling.
Copy !req
760. Cut.
Copy !req
761. Thank you. Done good, son.
Copy !req
762. Alyssa called, saying she was
gonna take the kids away.
Copy !req
763. Why does she want to take the kids?
Copy !req
764. Because I won't marry her.
Copy !req
765. Because Joan's around.
Copy !req
766. I mean, she's living with this dude
now for three years, you know?
Copy !req
767. And my kids live over there.
Copy !req
768. I mean, why can't I be with Joan
and have my kids too,
Copy !req
769. just like her situation, you know?
Copy !req
770. - And I can't, man.
- Did you tell her this?
Copy !req
771. Hell, yeah, I told her that.
She don't give a fuck.
Copy !req
772. Are you afraid?
Copy !req
773. Oh, yeah, because people
take action, you know?
Copy !req
774. People say that it's just words,
Copy !req
775. and all of a sudden,
one day she's moved out of state,
Copy !req
776. which she said she's gonna do,
and all kinds of stuff, you know?
Copy !req
777. So it's like if she can't have me,
she's just gonna take the kids away.
Copy !req
778. I can't even believe she would say
shit like that. I mean, that's crazy.
Copy !req
779. I love my kids, man,
and I want to be a good father.
Copy !req
780. I'm trying to get all this shit done.
Copy !req
781. You can't have your cake
and eat it too all the time.
Copy !req
782. You know?
I don't want to end up being a nothing.
Copy !req
783. Holy shit!
Copy !req
784. Bill, where are you?
Copy !req
785. Yeah.
Copy !req
786. I'll show you this song.
I'll sing it for you.
Copy !req
787. That's the end.
Copy !req
788. - That's a pretty optimistic view.
- That's not the one I had in mind.
Copy !req
789. - I had another one in here.
- Where'd it go?
Copy !req
790. I don't know. I couldn't find it.
Copy !req
791. - Are these songs you wrote?
- This is what happened to me.
Copy !req
792. Well, not every day, but...
Copy !req
793. I'll visit it sometime if I ever find it.
Copy !req
794. I will find it.
They'll tell me where it is.
Copy !req
795. That's nonalcoholic, man.
Copy !req
796. Let me open this up
and let me get this sucker out.
Copy !req
797. Check it out.
Put in my first goddamn turkey.
Copy !req
798. Yeah. Okay. Bye-bye. See you.
Copy !req
799. Okay. Have a good time, Ma.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
800. Listen, would it make you feel better
if we get that house schnapps?
Copy !req
801. - Yeah. Do that.
- Would you like that?
Copy !req
802. Yes, I would.
Copy !req
803. What would you like, man?
Copy !req
804. Well, I'd like to have
a peppermint schnapps
Copy !req
805. with Sprite and ice in it.
Copy !req
806. And two gobs of it.
Copy !req
807. Got a good taste.
Copy !req
808. My dad's up north.
He called, wishes us well.
Copy !req
809. My ma and brother are having
a very sterile dinner somewhere,
Copy !req
810. talking very sterilely about
some very sterile subject.
Copy !req
811. - Willy, you ready to take that bath now?
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
812. - Okay, let's go, man.
- Okay.
Copy !req
813. - Bill, Bill, Bill.
- I'm trying, I'm trying.
Copy !req
814. - Bill, Bill, Bill.
- I'm trying!
Copy !req
815. - Bill, Bill, Bill. No, no, no.
- I'm trying!
Copy !req
816. Just, no, no, no, no.
Put your feet back.
Copy !req
817. - Put your feet back.
Copy !req
818. Yeah, well, same deal.
Copy !req
819. You're a man out of control.
Just lift your other armpit.
Copy !req
820. Oh, my god.
Copy !req
821. That's a wicked-ass toenail, dude.
Copy !req
822. Whoa! That toenail's more
than a quarter-inch thick.
Copy !req
823. I know.
Copy !req
824. That's a science photo.
"Science photo"?
Copy !req
825. Yeah, they could use that
in science class.
Copy !req
826. "Science class"?
Copy !req
827. All right, Bill. I think you're done here.
Copy !req
828. No, you got to do my back part.
Copy !req
829. Well, you got to lift your back up.
Copy !req
830. What am I doing?
I'm washing Bill's "clotheses."
Copy !req
831. Fucking man's inhumanity to man!
Copy !req
832. Doesn't mean you have to
be a goddamn saint
Copy !req
833. to wash the boy's
handkerchiefs and socks.
Copy !req
834. So how long has he been soaking?
Copy !req
835. You know the man's freezing in there.
Copy !req
836. Just ten minutes. No,
I'm trying to jack him up with hot water.
Copy !req
837. With his peppermint schnapps?
Copy !req
838. Yeah, well, that was his idea.
Copy !req
839. Not mine, believe me.
Copy !req
840. Well, I hope he doesn't pass out in there.
Copy !req
841. No, it's strictly monitored.
Copy !req
842. - Who's monitoring?
- I'm monitoring.
Copy !req
843. What the hell's so funny about that?
Copy !req
844. Come on, pull.
Copy !req
845. - Bill. Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill.
- Pull!
Copy !req
846. Here, let me hold your arm.
Here.
Copy !req
847. It's not really coming in pieces.
It's coming in flakes.
Copy !req
848. So cooking it at 325
was actually the right thing to do.
Copy !req
849. Mike! Dude, what's up?
Hey, what's up?
Copy !req
850. I haven't seen you for a while.
Copy !req
851. - Your smiling face.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
852. - What do you have to say for yourself?
- Happy Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
853. Happy Thanksgiving.
What do you have to say for yourself?
Copy !req
854. Nothing, really.
Copy !req
855. - What do you got in that bag?
- Soda.
Copy !req
856. - Soda?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
857. You're lucky we got
all ends "tooken" care of.
Copy !req
858. Yeah.
Copy !req
859. - You look happier than hell, Jack.
- Yeah, so do you.
Copy !req
860. Well, I ought to be, man.
Copy !req
861. What do you know that we don't?
Copy !req
862. Well, I won $50 on a lottery ticket today.
Copy !req
863. But I don't want them guys to know,
Copy !req
864. because, otherwise,
they'll want to borrow money from me.
Copy !req
865. Have a seat, Bill. Dinner's served.
Copy !req
866. Right here?
- Yeah, have a seat.
Copy !req
867. Good.
- Head of the table.
Copy !req
868. You're executive producer.
Copy !req
869. Okay, Bill, what you need?
Copy !req
870. You want peas, corn, potatoes, turkey?
Copy !req
871. - I need a knife.
Here.
Copy !req
872. I could see great cinema in this.
Copy !req
873. - "Cinnamons"?
- Cinema.
Copy !req
874. Cinnamon?
Copy !req
875. Dude—
Copy !req
876. Dude, I see great cinema!
Copy !req
877. Well...
Copy !req
878. That's good.
Copy !req
879. That's something good, anyhow.
Copy !req
880. But I don't know what it is.
Copy !req
881. Yeah. You know?
Copy !req
882. You can spend your whole life
surrounded by people—
Copy !req
883. "We're gonna do this,"
and "We're gonna do that."
Copy !req
884. What do you think?
What do fucking really think? Huh?
Copy !req
885. Huh? What do you really think?
Copy !req
886. About what?
Copy !req
887. For years I've been trying to face up
to who I am and shit like that.
Copy !req
888. But I can't. I don't know why, man.
Copy !req
889. It's like I know where I want to be
and what I want to do.
Copy !req
890. So I don't know.
I want to come out of all of this stuff.
Copy !req
891. He wants to be somewhere where he's not.
Copy !req
892. But, then, don't most people
want to be somewhere where they're not?
Copy !req
893. Hey, man, you ripped
that one song off,
Copy !req
894. I hate to tell you,
from Black Sabbath.
Copy !req
895. I didn't. I wrote all the words.
- Yeah, but, dude,
Copy !req
896. I'm saying there's
an unconscious influence.
Copy !req
897. Yeah, but all your ideas
come from somewhere else, Mark.
Copy !req
898. You can't make up an idea by yourself.
Copy !req
899. - Well, no, dude.
- It's gotta come from somewhere.
Copy !req
900. - Yeah, but—
- An idea has got to come from somewhere.
Copy !req
901. Have you listened to the tune?
That's an exact copy.
Copy !req
902. - No, it's not.
- You changed one word!
Copy !req
903. No, I changed a||-- I used one word.
Copy !req
904. - I used the word "insane," and that's it.
Copy !req
905. - What's that?
- The Ghost of Christmas Past.
Copy !req
906. Oh. Heh.
Copy !req
907. You have to whisper, Okay?
Copy !req
908. All right.
Copy !req
909. Yeah, 'cause, otherwise,
Copy !req
910. - we'll get into trouble.
- What?
Copy !req
911. Dude, otherwise, we'll get into trouble.
Copy !req
912. All right.
Copy !req
913. I've really been unhappy
probably at least for a week,
Copy !req
914. and it just got worse.
Copy !req
915. I decided to use it to my advantage
Copy !req
916. and just start working on Northwestern.
Copy !req
917. It's gonna be a long,
tough road writing this script,
Copy !req
918. but I'm taking my depression
into Dawn's character
Copy !req
919. and trying to get
some good stuff out of it.
Copy !req
920. Are you thankful, Mike?
Copy !req
921. I don't know. For some things, I guess.
I don't really know.
Copy !req
922. Like I'm thankful that I won 50 bucks,
you know, the other day.
Copy !req
923. Thankful
Copy !req
924. that I won another ten dollars today.
Copy !req
925. Thankful for all the food
that I've been eating,
Copy !req
926. you know, around Thanksgiving time.
Copy !req
927. He came over and put a smile on my face.
Copy !req
928. I didn't even want to wake up
tomorrow morning, man.
Copy !req
929. I had nothing to look forward to.
Copy !req
930. I'm thankful that Mike came over,
and he put a smile on my face,
Copy !req
931. talking his shit.
Copy !req
932. That is wicked.
Copy !req
933. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
934. Oh, yeah.
What are you watching?
Copy !req
935. Northwestern from 1990, six years ago.
Copy !req
936. And, uh...
Copy !req
937. we're looking, and we're thinking
about stuff right now.
Copy !req
938. That is really, really—
Copy !req
939. That's really cool
with that hand-held wheelbarrow,
Copy !req
940. but it's gotta be smoothed out.
But at least—
Copy !req
941. You started shooting this six years ago?
Copy !req
942. Oh, yeah, absolutely, man.
Copy !req
943. I felt it many years before that.
Many years before that.
Copy !req
944. And Why'd you stop?
Copy !req
945. I think, obviously,
there's got to be some fear,
Copy !req
946. like, if you actually go ahead
and do it and complete it,
Copy !req
947. there's more consequences to it.
Copy !req
948. You let a day go by and fantasize,
and that day slips into years.
Copy !req
949. All of a sudden,
you're sitting in this living room
Copy !req
950. watching something from six years ago.
Copy !req
951. And that shot does look good.
Copy !req
952. Right there. Down the aisle.
Copy !req
953. I'll be right back.
Copy !req
954. And don't stop till I say, "Cut." Roll it.
Copy !req
955. - Now you're off.
- What? Cut. What? Now what?
Copy !req
956. Because of that door,
you can hardly see your mouth.
Copy !req
957. I cannot be dead center in the frame.
Copy !req
958. - 80—
- In front of my sight of vision,
Copy !req
959. that should occupy more of the frame
than the back of my head.
Copy !req
960. Okay, Ma, just tell me how it looks.
Copy !req
961. You go down when you do this.
Copy !req
962. - No, I'm trying to get out of frame there.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
963. - Okay. Camera rolling.
Copy !req
964. - Did you just turn off the camera?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
965. - Cut. Am I framed up?
Copy !req
966. Yep. Oh, now I see
there's a frame there.
Copy !req
967. Yeah? Oh, no!
What are you talking about, Ma?
Copy !req
968. - Yeah.
- Just— Okay, just never mind, man.
Copy !req
969. Okay, the camera's rolling,
sound is rolling.
Copy !req
970. - Am |--?
- I see a frame inside here.
Copy !req
971. Yeah, it's the TV frame.
That's the frame we're trying to—
Copy !req
972. Oh! Then you should be higher up,
much higher up, though.
Copy !req
973. Your face is— Yeah, more above you.
Copy !req
974. Where am I at now, Ma,
with all of this film burning?
Copy !req
975. - Yeah, that's okay, because it's—
- Okay. Ready?
Copy !req
976. - Yeah.
- Absolute quiet, please.
Copy !req
977. See, you got out of the frame
several times,
Copy !req
978. and then you jumped in again.
Copy !req
979. - Gosh, it's so uncomfortable here.
- Did you turn the camera off?
Copy !req
980. Yeah.
I didn't say, "Cut."
Copy !req
981. Now, cut.
Copy !req
982. Excellent.
Copy !req
983. Okay.
Copy !req
984. Okay. You want to roll this, honey?
Copy !req
985. Good morning, Monica.
Copy !req
986. Mark just wanted me to call
to let you know what was happening.
Copy !req
987. Right. And then we're
gonna come over by you
Copy !req
988. and finish something up over there,
something with the car.
Copy !req
989. Joan came, and Alyssa was here, then left.
Copy !req
990. Mark is right in the middle
between them.
Copy !req
991. Mark, you've just ended
what we've just begun.
Copy !req
992. You fucking left me
Copy !req
993. - three fucking years ago!
- I needed a break.
Copy !req
994. - Why are you—?
- You're not just gonna fucking walk away.
Copy !req
995. There's nothing that lasts, you know.
Copy !req
996. But I think that this
will last for some time.
Copy !req
997. You think what will last?
Copy !req
998. Um, the problem between
Copy !req
999. Alyssa, Mark and Joan and Mark.
Copy !req
1000. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
1001. Um, when I run this Bolex,
that'll be the last take of Coven.
Copy !req
1002. You know, I don't know.
I get the, you know—
Copy !req
1003. It's kind of weird to...
Copy !req
1004. to do the last shot of the film.
Copy !req
1005. Well, I guess not.
I think everything actually makes sense.
Copy !req
1006. It's me alone, you know, doing it.
Copy !req
1007. Sitting here in this car—
Copy !req
1008. Thing is, Joanie put it,
"Now you got nothing."
Copy !req
1009. So,
Copy !req
1010. she walked off into the sunset.
Copy !req
1011. Alyssa ruined— We were just
Copy !req
1012. really getting so well along
and just starting into things,
Copy !req
1013. and Alyssa came over, man.
I was humiliated.
Copy !req
1014. The situation, and—
Copy !req
1015. I'm just gonna do
the last shot of the film here.
Copy !req
1016. My ma's coming out to take a picture.
Copy !req
1017. He lives for movies, making movies.
Copy !req
1018. Always dreaming that someday
he will make a big movie.
Copy !req
1019. Do you think he ever will?
Copy !req
1020. It costs money,
and where's he getting the money from?
Copy !req
1021. I don't know.
Copy !req
1022. I don't—
Copy !req
1023. I don't think so.
Copy !req
1024. Favre, looking around.
Copy !req
1025. It's across the middle,
and there's Beebe at the 30.
Copy !req
1026. To the 25!
Copy !req
1027. Wow, a gain of 40 yards.
Copy !req
1028. You know the ship is sinking
when that happens.
Copy !req
1029. Dawn, what are you doing?
Copy !req
1030. Nothing.
Copy !req
1031. You get settled, now.
Copy !req
1032. Okay, Robert, you ready?
Copy !req
1033. You're ours! You belong to us.
Copy !req
1034. I'm listening to the A.D.R.
work right now.
Copy !req
1035. What's A.D.R. work?
Copy !req
1036. "Additional Dialogue Recording."
Copy !req
1037. What's Additional Dialogue Recording?
Copy !req
1038. When the original dialogue recording,
while the camera was running,
Copy !req
1039. is not good enough because
of camera noise or extraneous noise,
Copy !req
1040. you must rerecord it
in a more subtle environment.
Copy !req
1041. - You understand now?
- No.
Copy !req
1042. What is it you do not understand?
Copy !req
1043. There you go. Here.
Copy !req
1044. Are you editing?
You are through with that too?
Copy !req
1045. The editing—
Every scene has been edited.
Copy !req
1046. Right now I'm fine cutting.
Copy !req
1047. Tomorrow, man, I'm going in there.
Copy !req
1048. I'm staying the whole day.
Staying overnight.
Copy !req
1049. - Boom.
Doing what?
Copy !req
1050. - If you are fine editing—
- Editing.
Copy !req
1051. Fine cutting. Fine cutting.
Copy !req
1052. Oh, fine cutting. Oh, hallelujah.
Copy !req
1053. I'm never drinking or using drugs again.
Copy !req
1054. - Are you sure about that?
- I'm 100% positive.
Copy !req
1055. I did that myself, man,
on the word processor.
Copy !req
1056. - See? I did two different types of print.
- That sounds good.
Copy !req
1057. The description sounds intriguing.
Copy !req
1058. You know, Mike, I could really use
your expertise at remembering things
Copy !req
1059. to figure out where
frame 6962 is at this point.
Copy !req
1060. This is definitely a sign of voodoo.
Copy !req
1061. Why is that a sign of voodoo?
Copy !req
1062. It's an unnatural cross, Mark.
It's not like a—
Copy !req
1063. You think when Jesus was hanging there,
he thought it was natural?
Copy !req
1064. Are you coming down here tomorrow, Mark?
Copy !req
1065. Yes, but I gotta work
at the cemetery tomorrow.
Copy !req
1066. in 17 plays.
Copy !req
1067. Here's Brett Favre...
Copy !req
1068. The boss looked at me
in the eye and said,
Copy !req
1069. "Mark, I hope this is the beginning
of a long relationship."
Copy !req
1070. I'll tell you what, man.
It scared the shit out of me.
Copy !req
1071. Years of vacuuming at a cemetery?
Uh-uh, man.
Copy !req
1072. I don't see how people
can go year after year
Copy !req
1073. at these fucking stupid jobs
Copy !req
1074. and not want to make
something of themselves.
Copy !req
1075. I don't get it, man. You ain't gonna
see me vacuuming no floors.
Copy !req
1076. Give this a handful of weekends, man,
and it's south.
Copy !req
1077. Where are these from, Mark?
Copy !req
1078. - They're from the cemetery.
- They sell flowers there?
Copy !req
1079. No, this is, like, from the flower
shop or something.
Copy !req
1080. I have no— Look. I don't really care.
Copy !req
1081. All I know is that it has nothing to do
with any grave or taking anything.
Copy !req
1082. - This is flowers—
- They don't have graves anyway, right?
Copy !req
1083. They just have vaults.
Copy !req
1084. Right. That is a grave.
Copy !req
1085. They've got graves in the yard.
But I'm just saying, it's a new thing.
Copy !req
1086. No one possesses it. No one owns it.
Copy !req
1087. It's my flower to you.
Copy !req
1088. Hey, hey. Now watch out, man.
Copy !req
1089. Dawn, get your sleeping bag ready.
Copy !req
1090. It's not a sleeping bag.
Copy !req
1091. - Shit.
- Shit.
Copy !req
1092. All I can see is purple and—
Copy !req
1093. Is that the first—?
Copy !req
1094. - Did you swear, man?
- And just purple.
Copy !req
1095. - I don't care. I'm just asking.
- No.
Copy !req
1096. If I'm hearing things
or I'm going to sleep—
Copy !req
1097. 'Cause I never hear you swear.
Copy !req
1098. - I never swear.
- I thought you said "shit."
Copy !req
1099. - No, I didn't.
- Did you? Huh?
Copy !req
1100. - No. Did I?
- Yeah, you did.
Copy !req
1101. I just want to know.
I don't want to be hearing things.
Copy !req
1102. - No.
- I don't care. I'm just asking.
Copy !req
1103. - You're hearing things.
- No, I don't. I got good auditory senses.
Copy !req
1104. If he patted his right hip,
how would he snap the ball?
Copy !req
1105. He would have
patted his right hip before...
Copy !req
1106. Wow.
Copy !req
1107. My dad has always had
a host of recommendations
Copy !req
1108. for what career fields I should pursue.
Copy !req
1109. Uh, truck driver, police officer,
Copy !req
1110. electrician, et cetera, et cetera.
Copy !req
1111. What does he think about your film making?
Copy !req
1112. He thought it was thoroughly foolish
when I was, like, 14.
Copy !req
1113. Now he's very
Copy !req
1114. adamant about me getting the film done.
Copy !req
1115. I says, "Maybe I should just get a job
and quit this film."
Copy !req
1116. And he's like,
"No, you can't. You can't quit the film.
Copy !req
1117. You gotta get it done."
Copy !req
1118. What's the relationship
between your parents?
Copy !req
1119. Oh, man, they're always
fighting, all the time.
Copy !req
1120. Always.
Copy !req
1121. I never— They never got along.
Copy !req
1122. I mean, since I was around.
Copy !req
1123. I wouldn't allow my kids
to go through that shit
Copy !req
1124. because, you know,
you give them a destiny,
Copy !req
1125. and they've got something
to look forward to.
Copy !req
1126. It was totally uncool.
I mean, it was totally without thinking,
Copy !req
1127. the way they acted,
and what effect it would have on us,
Copy !req
1128. you know, all three of us, growing up.
Copy !req
1129. Now they're totally cool.
You couldn't ask for better parents.
Copy !req
1130. But they were out of control.
Copy !req
1131. Hey, how the hell far away
is this marsh, now?
Copy !req
1132. Well, it's coming up.
Copy !req
1133. This is sound for the woods.
Copy !req
1134. It's gonna totally suck.
Copy !req
1135. That's a cut,
because there's not one fucking bird.
Copy !req
1136. All I hear are trucks.
Copy !req
1137. I am gonna have to go to...
Copy !req
1138. Kettle Moraine or something like that.
Copy !req
1139. So there's absolutely nothing
recorded for Pike Lake.
Copy !req
1140. Hi, Mark.
- Hey, Mike.
Copy !req
1141. My morn packed us a lunch.
Did she? Oh, that's cool.
Copy !req
1142. Yeah, we got polish sausage,
cheese and crackers,
Copy !req
1143. and other stuff.
Copy !req
1144. Good to see a smile on your face.
Copy !req
1145. - How you doing?
Who else is here?
Copy !req
1146. We're gonna do this by the numbers.
We got to do a little sound recording.
Copy !req
1147. - Tell him we have to do it now.
- Yeah, all right.
Copy !req
1148. Yeah. Okay.
Copy !req
1149. Yeah. Bye-bye, now.
Copy !req
1150. Okay. Thanks a lot, Ma.
Copy !req
1151. We'll see you around 1:00.
Yeah. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
1152. Okay, we got to do one line for the film.
Copy !req
1153. No one can hear you say,
"It's all right. It's okay.
Copy !req
1154. There's something to live for.
Jesus told me so."
Copy !req
1155. When am I gonna eat my dinner here?
Copy !req
1156. Can you give him
some cheese and crackers?
Copy !req
1157. Can we get the man something to eat
Copy !req
1158. so we can record
this one bit of dialogue here?
Copy !req
1159. Aw, nuts.
Copy !req
1160. Try a piece of this.
Copy !req
1161. - Oh, that's good stuff.
Yeah.
Copy !req
1162. Don't have a damn thing to drink either?
Copy !req
1163. Here. Here, Bill.
Get him a soda, Mike.
Copy !req
1164. Here you go.
Copy !req
1165. - Here's a soda, Bill.
- Oh, thanks.
Copy !req
1166. Don't spill it.
Copy !req
1167. Never heard of that one.
Copy !req
1168. Oh, that's good.
Copy !req
1169. That's brand new soda from Coca-Cola.
It's called Surge.
Copy !req
1170. It's the first line of the film, man.
It's got to be on the money here.
Copy !req
1171. Roll down the window, Bill.
Copy !req
1172. It's all right, uh—
Copy !req
1173. Okay, cut.
Copy !req
1174. All right, man. Shit.
Copy !req
1175. It's— You gotta give it
some passion too, man.
Copy !req
1176. And you gotta—
"It's all right! It's okay!
Copy !req
1177. There's something to live for!
Copy !req
1178. Jesus told me so!"
Copy !req
1179. It's all right!
Copy !req
1180. Uh...
Copy !req
1181. There's something to live for.
Copy !req
1182. Jesus told me so.
Copy !req
1183. Okay. Great, Bill, but we gotta—
Copy !req
1184. We have to have fluidity in there.
Copy !req
1185. It's all right! It's okay! Uh...
Copy !req
1186. Okay. Okay, cut.
Copy !req
1187. - You gotta bring passion to it.
- Oh, nuts.
Copy !req
1188. A message— It's a message.
Copy !req
1189. This is the shits. It's for the birds.
Copy !req
1190. This is for the birds.
Copy !req
1191. Okay. I believe we can do this.
I believe this can be done, Bill.
Copy !req
1192. - Mike, why don't you keep track of takes?
- You haven't got the line here.
Copy !req
1193. Is this fucking take seven?
Okay, let's do take seven, man.
Copy !req
1194. It's all right! It's okay!
Copy !req
1195. Um...
Copy !req
1196. Cut. Okay.
Copy !req
1197. You have to believe in
what you're saying, Bill.
Copy !req
1198. I do?
Copy !req
1199. Well, I don't.
Copy !req
1200. I don't believe in nothing
what you're doing.
Copy !req
1201. All right. Give it some passion.
Copy !req
1202. "It's all right! It's okay!
Copy !req
1203. There's something to live for!
Copy !req
1204. Jesus told me so!"
You did it before. You can do it again.
Copy !req
1205. Okay, this is take eight.
Copy !req
1206. It's all right!
Copy !req
1207. It's okay!
Copy !req
1208. Uh...
Copy !req
1209. Okay, that's fine.
You gotta watch your teeth,
Copy !req
1210. 'cause they clack a bit
when they loosen up in the mouth.
Copy !req
1211. And take ten.
Copy !req
1212. It's all right! It's okay!
Copy !req
1213. There's something to live for!
Copy !req
1214. Jesus told me so!
Copy !req
1215. Bill, you couldn't ask
for anything better.
Copy !req
1216. I think it was recorded too high.
Copy !req
1217. Give it all you got!
What take is this?
Copy !req
1218. - Sixteen.
- This is take 16.
Copy !req
1219. - Let's go. Take 30.
- It's all right!
Copy !req
1220. - Hold up. Take 30.
- It's all right! It's okay!
Copy !req
1221. There's some— Jesus told me so!
Copy !req
1222. - There's something to live for.
- Okay, cut. Take 31.
Copy !req
1223. - Ain't that enough now?
No. Listen, Bill—
Copy !req
1224. I ain't gonna do this anymore.
That's all for me. Good-bye.
Copy !req
1225. Okay. I'm gonna see
what we have to work with.
Copy !req
1226. I'm gonna—
Copy !req
1227. Jesus Christ, man.
Copy !req
1228. And it's like the whole room
is just filled
Copy !req
1229. with this thick green and red web,
you know?
Copy !req
1230. And it's coming out of Laura,
and it's coming out of the table,
Copy !req
1231. and it's coming out of the walls,
Copy !req
1232. and it's coming out of the floor,
you know?
Copy !req
1233. And all of a sudden,
Copy !req
1234. my face hit the table,
you know, and I blacked out.
Copy !req
1235. So Laura dragged me outside
and laid me on the grass, you know,
Copy !req
1236. hoping I'd wake up, you know?
Copy !req
1237. And then her grandma came home,
who she lived with, you know?
Copy !req
1238. And her grandma called
an ambulance, you know?
Copy !req
1239. So I'm laying in the hospital, passed out.
Copy !req
1240. They got my brain on a brain scanner.
Copy !req
1241. You know how your brain's supposed
to go, "Beep, beep, beep"?
Copy !req
1242. Well, mine just went "Unh..."
straight across, you know?
Copy !req
1243. And, uh, the doctor goes to my ma,
Copy !req
1244. he goes, "I don't think
your son is gonna make it. Sorry.
Copy !req
1245. I think he's gonna die, you know.
Copy !req
1246. I don't think there's any way
we can bring him, you know—
Copy !req
1247. Wake him up or nothing, you know?"
Copy !req
1248. So, all of a sudden,
I smell this real strong smell,
Copy !req
1249. and it's smelling salts
they got in front of my nose.
Copy !req
1250. And I start to wake up,
and all I see is bright lights.
Copy !req
1251. And I'm like,
"Damn, where the hell am I?" You know?
Copy !req
1252. And then I realize I'm in the hospital,
Copy !req
1253. so I start checking my pockets for
the acid, which they analyzed one hit.
Copy !req
1254. It turned out to be blotter paper
dipped in liquid PCP
Copy !req
1255. with a little bit of downer in it.
Copy !req
1256. And they said if it hadn't
been for that little bit of downer,
Copy !req
1257. I would be dead. But, anyways,
Copy !req
1258. I'm checking my pockets
for the acid, you know,
Copy !req
1259. 'cause I was gonna drop my other
three hits in the hospital, you know,
Copy !req
1260. and all of a sudden
my ma walks in the room,
Copy !req
1261. and she's holding the bag
of acid like this, you know?
Copy !req
1262. I'm like, "Damn, now I can't drop
the rest of my acid in the hospital."
Copy !req
1263. So she— She flushes it
down the toilet, you know?
Copy !req
1264. And, uh, so, um—
Copy !req
1265. Then they kept me
in the hospital another month.
Copy !req
1266. And they said I was
the worst case they ever had,
Copy !req
1267. and they let me go.
Copy !req
1268. And I continued using drugs
all the way up until, urn...
Copy !req
1269. a little under a year and a half ago.
Copy !req
1270. And that's—
Copy !req
1271. I have more stories like that
I could tell you too.
Copy !req
1272. All kinds of drug-related stories.
Copy !req
1273. Could tell you, you know—
Copy !req
1274. I'll try and keep you
awake with them tonight.
Copy !req
1275. Need another tape in there.
Copy !req
1276. It's almost like the day before Christmas.
Copy !req
1277. That's right.
Copy !req
1278. Ooh, gosh!
Look at that. Right—
Copy !req
1279. First play. That's it. Game's over.
Copy !req
1280. S-They got more close-up.
- I don't want to take no phone calls.
Copy !req
1281. You take a paper route,
you buy a CP-16
Copy !req
1282. and you shoot the film.
Copy !req
1283. Why is it every time you
talk about making a film,
Copy !req
1284. they talk about "dream"?
Copy !req
1285. "Oh, I'm gonna go work in the factory."
Copy !req
1286. "Oh, yeah, that's cool, man.
We're gonna drill holes together."
Copy !req
1287. Here, man, come on in.
Copy !req
1288. All right.
Copy !req
1289. - Hi.
Hi.
Copy !req
1290. Hey, you know what?
Copy !req
1291. - Somebody win?
- Yeah, I won $200 today.
Copy !req
1292. What are you gonna do
with that 200 bucks?
Copy !req
1293. I don't know. I gave 100 to my dad,
Copy !req
1294. and I got 65 at home in my room,
and I got 20 in my wallet.
Copy !req
1295. If you can think of something
we can spend 20 bucks on,
Copy !req
1296. maybe we can spend it.
Copy !req
1297. You know what you can
spend 20 bucks on?
Copy !req
1298. About four pitchers at Jim Mitchell's.
Copy !req
1299. I don't want to buy no beer.
Copy !req
1300. I don't either, man, but if you're
willing to buy it, I'll drink it.
Copy !req
1301. Oh, I don't know.
Copy !req
1302. The Patriots are coming back.
Copy !req
1303. They're getting into position.
Copy !req
1304. There's four minutes left.
Copy !req
1305. Yeah, that's what we
are going to see now.
Copy !req
1306. We're going to Jim Mitchell's.
Copy !req
1307. - Yes, we are.
- Are you—? I'm not going to any bar.
Copy !req
1308. Mark, I'm not taking you to any bar.
Copy !req
1309. You have had more than enough today.
Copy !req
1310. Okay. You know what? Weak.
Copy !req
1311. He can never quit.
Copy !req
1312. When he starts drinking,
he can never quit.
Copy !req
1313. - Close the door.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1314. Shit!
Copy !req
1315. This is what it's all about,
winning a championship.
Copy !req
1316. Yeah.
Copy !req
1317. That's cool. Packers won the Super Bowl.
Copy !req
1318. Look at that. Look at that screen!
Copy !req
1319. Every bitch-ass, motherfucking
Copy !req
1320. factory worker
is gonna go down like that too.
Copy !req
1321. Bitch motherfucker!
Copy !req
1322. Mark, none of that conversation.
Copy !req
1323. Just like that.
Copy !req
1324. I will never be like you,
you fucking job-working,
Copy !req
1325. 40-hour motherfucker.
You can go to fucking hell.
Copy !req
1326. It's a pity.
Copy !req
1327. By tomorrow he will be okay again.
Copy !req
1328. I'll be okay again. I'll be just like you,
wandering around the kitchen.
Copy !req
1329. Just like you. Yeah, you're right.
Copy !req
1330. Never.
Copy !req
1331. - Yeah. Well, I'm glad the Packers won.
Yes. I'm glad they won too.
Copy !req
1332. Sunrise to sunset.
Copy !req
1333. Sunrise to sunset.
Copy !req
1334. That is sweet.
- That was the line.
Copy !req
1335. Hit me— Yeah.
Hit me with a couple more.
Copy !req
1336. Hold on, Dawn.
Copy !req
1337. Sunrise to sunset.
Copy !req
1338. Mike, are you all right?
Are you all right, Mike?
Copy !req
1339. Every time I spoke with him,
every time we got together,
Copy !req
1340. there was something
that seemed to go wrong
Copy !req
1341. or did not go as planned,
Copy !req
1342. and he always seemed to forge ahead
Copy !req
1343. and go through with the project,
Copy !req
1344. and I think that's the best thing
I can say about his character.
Copy !req
1345. - He's indomitable.
- The place you want to be.
Copy !req
1346. I'll say, "Take two." Give it a couple
seconds, and you're burning in hell.
Copy !req
1347. Move up a little bit, Robert.
Copy !req
1348. Okay, cool. And take two.
Copy !req
1349. Ready, Mike? When I say "Take one,"
give it a couple seconds. Take one.
Copy !req
1350. That was wicked, man.
Copy !req
1351. Robert. Okay.
Copy !req
1352. Man, oh, man, oh, man.
Copy !req
1353. I'll take off the scarf.
Copy !req
1354. Oh, she's set to roll.
Copy !req
1355. How tight are you on her?
Like, this tight?
Copy !req
1356. You're looking better now, Robert.
Copy !req
1357. I'm cold as hell.
Copy !req
1358. You might as well keep the jacket on
for a few, definitely.
Copy !req
1359. - There you go.
- All right, freeze that.
Copy !req
1360. Freeze that.
Copy !req
1361. Dude, you just arched your eyebrow!
Copy !req
1362. Yes. Shouldn't I have?
Copy !req
1363. It's cool.
Copy !req
1364. This is great.
Right here. Hold that, please.
Copy !req
1365. It's the year of the independent film.
Copy !req
1366. Great performances, new faces.
I mean, really new faces.
Copy !req
1367. Who are you people?
Copy !req
1368. I'll tell you who they are.
They're unbelievably talented people.
Copy !req
1369. Great films, unusual films,
risky plots, great direction—
Copy !req
1370. Okay, great.
Copy !req
1371. You forgot to wiggle.
- Yeah, you forgot to wiggle.
Copy !req
1372. I think 22-A really is the keeper.
Copy !req
1373. - Mega.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1374. - So these are mock-ups that I did.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1375. And I can do a lot
of different things with them,
Copy !req
1376. depending on what size
and what you want to print on them.
Copy !req
1377. Somebody made that up, you know.
Copy !req
1378. - Oh, it's Bill's birthday.
It's Bill's birthday.
Copy !req
1379. Happy birthday, William.
What do you think about that?
Copy !req
1380. I don't know.
Copy !req
1381. Doesn't do much for me.
Copy !req
1382. You look at Bill today—
He was a scholar at one time.
Copy !req
1383. You know. But he really was.
Copy !req
1384. And I always looked up to him,
as a brother.
Copy !req
1385. Like, he had an answer for everything.
Copy !req
1386. I mean, a proper answer.
Copy !req
1387. Or how to spell a word, or—
He knew all that stuff.
Copy !req
1388. Nice day if it doesn't rain.
Copy !req
1389. What are some of the influences
that helped shape
Copy !req
1390. the Mark Borchardt format,
or the Mark Borchardt style?
Copy !req
1391. When I was growing up and drinking,
the people that I was around,
Copy !req
1392. they were the Americans
who were still fighting the West
Copy !req
1393. with a bottle of vodka in their hand, man.
Copy !req
1394. There was still territory
out there, you know,
Copy !req
1395. in the mind or around the block
or something like that.
Copy !req
1396. Expand on that a little.
I mean, this sort of—
Copy !req
1397. Okay, listen, man. They didn't—
Copy !req
1398. There was no such thing
about college or religion or anything.
Copy !req
1399. There was drinking.
Drinking, drinking, drinking.
Copy !req
1400. And everything would revolve around that,
Copy !req
1401. the money, the time spent, everything.
Copy !req
1402. And it was— It was America at that point.
Copy !req
1403. And we had, like,
15 people in Mark's backyard.
Copy !req
1404. We had, like, five cases—
I ain't exaggerating.
Copy !req
1405. Five to six cases of beer cans
just sitting there.
Copy !req
1406. And my dad came over.
Copy !req
1407. "Yeah, Pops, we need more beer."
So he went and procured us some beer.
Copy !req
1408. Uh...
Copy !req
1409. Came back and he drank
a couple beers with us.
Copy !req
1410. All of a sudden
Mark's parents pulled up.
Copy !req
1411. My dad immediately
flanked around the garage
Copy !req
1412. and, you know, cut through the back.
Copy !req
1413. He was out of there right away.
Didn't want nothing to do with it.
Copy !req
1414. He knew what was going on.
Copy !req
1415. What do you think of Ken Keen?
Copy !req
1416. He is a bad influence,
and Mark is a bad influence for Kenny.
Copy !req
1417. Those two shouldn't be together.
Copy !req
1418. With the parents, you know,
Copy !req
1419. "It's Kenny Keen's fault.
He twisted your arm."
Copy !req
1420. With the other parents too, you know,
Copy !req
1421. and that's all bullshit because,
I, you know, as far as—
Copy !req
1422. I think peer pressure is bullshit.
Copy !req
1423. Where are we headed?
- To jail to pick up Kenny.
Copy !req
1424. He'll be happy as hell. He's only—
He's out in two minutes, man.
Copy !req
1425. How did they get him?
- They were inside the house,
Copy !req
1426. and all of a sudden, him and his ma—
Copy !req
1427. The lights went off, and, uh...
Copy !req
1428. they went downstairs
to check the fuse box,
Copy !req
1429. and the boys were right there
waiting on him.
Copy !req
1430. Who are the boys?
- The detectives.
Copy !req
1431. They got him. Definitely.
Copy !req
1432. Now it's 10:04. There's the boy.
Copy !req
1433. There he is.
Yup.
Copy !req
1434. Now you gotta fit him in the car.
Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
1435. Hey, Kenny, what's up?
Copy !req
1436. You sure we got enough people involved?
Copy !req
1437. Where are you sitting?
Copy !req
1438. How's it going? I don't know.
I guess I'm sitting up there with you.
Copy !req
1439. All right. I'll move over.
Copy !req
1440. Whoa, whoa! Dude, dude!
You're pressing the gas!
Copy !req
1441. Sorry about that.
- What the fuck, man?
Copy !req
1442. Um... Okay.
Copy !req
1443. Right here I had 7-9-9-9,
Copy !req
1444. and then right here I had 7-9-8-0.
Copy !req
1445. So I had to take the marker
and cross out 7-9-8-0 and put in 7—
Copy !req
1446. I mean, 8-0-0-0— 8,000.
Copy !req
1447. What are you doing here, Mike?
Copy !req
1448. I'm doing X numbers
for Mark and Kenny and myself.
Copy !req
1449. What time is it?
Copy !req
1450. It's about 14 to.
Copy !req
1451. I need some fresh air.
I'm just gonna suck in a lot of fresh air.
Copy !req
1452. I'll see you to the door.
Copy !req
1453. - Here. After you, Ma.
- Okay.
Copy !req
1454. As soon as I wake up tomorrow,
Mark, I'll be back.
Copy !req
1455. All right. Cool.
Copy !req
1456. Action!
Copy !req
1457. Urn... When you swing here,
swing in the middle.
Copy !req
1458. - This is the last one we got, man.
Copy !req
1459. Hold up. Where's that plane at?
Copy !req
1460. - Action?
- Action.
Copy !req
1461. Action!
Copy !req
1462. Take 14. Action!
Copy !req
1463. I'm hitting it as hard as I can,
Copy !req
1464. - but it's not doing nothing.
- One more thing.
Copy !req
1465. Come down here.
Copy !req
1466. I gotta get the headlights. Knock out—
Copy !req
1467. Do you think this is
a little bit cathartic for you?
Copy !req
1468. - Very cathartic, Mark.
- You know what "cathartic" means?
Copy !req
1469. No.
Copy !req
1470. It means, uh—
Copy !req
1471. I think it means getting things
out of your system, man.
Copy !req
1472. - Yeah, okay, then it's cathartic.
- Is it?
Copy !req
1473. - You got that out of your system?
- Pretty damn cathartic, Mark.
Copy !req
1474. Cool.
Copy !req
1475. Last time I was out here
was about seven, eight years ago
Copy !req
1476. to shoot Northwestern,
and we shot here
Copy !req
1477. in the summer— Dead of summer,
dead of winter, man, all of that.
Copy !req
1478. I'll be back.
Copy !req
1479. With Northwestern,
he's putting more drama into it.
Copy !req
1480. Obviously this is not a horror film.
This is more of a life and times.
Copy !req
1481. Probably going to use
a lot of his own experience,
Copy !req
1482. you know, as far as
what he went through in life,
Copy !req
1483. is gonna be in this film.
Copy !req
1484. You know, these are the vistas right here.
And what does it feel like
Copy !req
1485. to have a couple rusty cars parked
right against a rusty background?
Copy !req
1486. Because this is really fall
Copy !req
1487. and winter, when the Earth decays
and the cars have decayed,
Copy !req
1488. and these guys are decaying, you know?
Copy !req
1489. And that's what it's all about,
you know? It's—
Copy !req
1490. That's what it's all about,
rust and decay.
Copy !req
1491. But then, within that
is the warmth of the soul
Copy !req
1492. and stuff like that, you know?
Copy !req
1493. It's lonely roads,
but there's warm houses and cars.
Copy !req
1494. This is the Gardens of Eternal Life, man.
Copy !req
1495. They got these people stacked six high.
Copy !req
1496. Six high, man.
Copy !req
1497. You got one underground grave.
That's one amount of money.
Copy !req
1498. You got six of them.
Man, it's a vertical business around here.
Copy !req
1499. You know, they just keep build—
Stacking them up.
Copy !req
1500. But what we're doing, man,
is making sure people are out of here.
Copy !req
1501. This dude claims
I locked him in a couple times,
Copy !req
1502. and now that I think of it, that could
have been any time during the week.
Copy !req
1503. I just want to
Copy !req
1504. make sure we don't lock anyone in.
Copy !req
1505. This— This place is big, man.
Copy !req
1506. In fact, we'll just kind of go over here.
Copy !req
1507. There's a river, and—
Copy !req
1508. Oh, Jesus.
Copy !req
1509. This has been going on now,
literally, for three years.
Copy !req
1510. Thursday night's opening
will be just ten days shy of three years.
Copy !req
1511. But through all of this,
Mark has kept an equanimity.
Copy !req
1512. Oh.
Copy !req
1513. All right, thanks.
Copy !req
1514. Here.
Copy !req
1515. You know what?
We just ran out of a bunch of flyers,
Copy !req
1516. so this is all we got left,
so you can't be putting them everywhere.
Copy !req
1517. - You gotta put them strategically, okay?
- Got it.
Copy !req
1518. - Do you have it, Mike?
- Yes.
Copy !req
1519. - Hey, Mike. Mike, Mike—
- Yeah?
Copy !req
1520. - Dude, the flyers, man.
- Oh, yeah, that's right.
Copy !req
1521. - I'm gonna pass them out.
- Dude, where are you walking?
Copy !req
1522. I'm walking in there,
to hang them strategically.
Copy !req
1523. Well, you need flyers, man.
Copy !req
1524. I know. That's why
I'm asking you for them.
Copy !req
1525. No, that's why I'm giving you them.
Now listen, dude.
Copy !req
1526. So you and Matt, man, make it look good.
Make it look sharp.
Copy !req
1527. I know you can do it.
Copy !req
1528. We were in the Union,
Copy !req
1529. and we put the flyers
on top of a bunch of newspapers.
Copy !req
1530. Yeah.
Copy !req
1531. The newspapers were like
The Wisconsin Light, okay?
Copy !req
1532. So some guy came in to replace
the old copies of The Wisconsin Light
Copy !req
1533. - Yeah.
- with new ones and took the old ones.
Copy !req
1534. And he took the flyers
that were on top of the old ones
Copy !req
1535. and took off with them,
Copy !req
1536. because he didn't realize
that they were our flyers.
Copy !req
1537. So that's what happened.
Copy !req
1538. But, dude, that doesn't make any sense.
Copy !req
1539. Made sense to him.
Copy !req
1540. I'm in the process
of taking down over 1400 flags.
Copy !req
1541. I believe it was yesterday.
Copy !req
1542. I was called to the bathroom
at the cemetery
Copy !req
1543. to take care of something.
Copy !req
1544. I walked in the bathroom,
and in the middle toilet, right there,
Copy !req
1545. somebody didn't shit in the toilet,
somebody shat on the toilet.
Copy !req
1546. They shat on the walls.
They shat on the floor.
Copy !req
1547. I had to clean it up, man,
but before that,
Copy !req
1548. for about 10 to 15 seconds, man,
I just stared at somebody's shit, man.
Copy !req
1549. To be totally honest with you,
it was a really, really profound moment,
Copy !req
1550. 'cause I was thinking, "I'm 30 years old,
Copy !req
1551. and in about ten seconds,
Copy !req
1552. I got to start cleaning up
somebody's shit, man."
Copy !req
1553. What do you think
are the rewards for this, Mike?
Copy !req
1554. I don't know. Maybe you'll be
a famous movie producer or something.
Copy !req
1555. A what?
A famous movie producer.
Copy !req
1556. What are the rewards of that?
Copy !req
1557. Uh... I don't know.
Copy !req
1558. Sex, money, power?
Copy !req
1559. Sex, money, power.
Copy !req
1560. I don't know.
Copy !req
1561. I was gonna come in and help
Mark cement splice, then I, um...
Copy !req
1562. then this little disaster happened.
Copy !req
1563. So now I'm just pulling the shots
that were supposed to be cut—
Copy !req
1564. The two frames that are missing.
Copy !req
1565. Big delay. Big problem.
Copy !req
1566. Hopefully we can splice it
so it doesn't show up too bad.
Copy !req
1567. But...
Copy !req
1568. Mark's in full depression at this point.
Copy !req
1569. Here is a piece of film.
Copy !req
1570. This piece of film
must be up on the screen.
Copy !req
1571. This is what happened, man.
Copy !req
1572. Where are those other—
Where is this part of the film?
Copy !req
1573. What, are you gonna
have a blank spot on the film?
Copy !req
1574. What are you gonna do?
Copy !req
1575. You gotta find each missing piece
and tape this in.
Copy !req
1576. That's what I mean.
You go to a movie, you see this.
Copy !req
1577. You don't pay to see that.
Copy !req
1578. What the fuck
is supposed to occur here?
Copy !req
1579. You guys want to make films
when you get older?
Copy !req
1580. - No.
- No. No.
Copy !req
1581. - Why?
- Yeah!
Copy !req
1582. Because you gotta buy some stuff,
Copy !req
1583. and it takes so much money
and so much time.
Copy !req
1584. And you gotta work a hundred years.
Copy !req
1585. - No, you don't.
- Yes, you do.
Copy !req
1586. That's gonna go on the other side now.
We need two more— Where's our leader?
Copy !req
1587. It'll be done in about
less than an hour, and...
Copy !req
1588. so I will be drinking now.
Copy !req
1589. Yup. That was the last
splice in my film, man.
Copy !req
1590. Now we'll roll through the end,
right here, roll black along the song.
Copy !req
1591. I think there'll be a break
for a little while from—
Copy !req
1592. Maybe two days.
Copy !req
1593. No. Hopefully a little longer than that.
Copy !req
1594. But I think it will
start up right away again.
Copy !req
1595. - Would you buy this movie for 14.95?
- Yeah. Hell yeah, man.
Copy !req
1596. If I can find 3,000 people like you
across this country man,
Copy !req
1597. I'm in business.
Copy !req
1598. Of course, man. I mean—
Copy !req
1599. Shit, that's what Rush tickets were.
Copy !req
1600. After this car, run.
Copy !req
1601. The next car, we're gonna stop traffic.
Copy !req
1602. I hear that he finished it up
a couple of minutes ago,
Copy !req
1603. - so we're right on schedule here.
- It's hot off the presses.
Copy !req
1604. - Did you get some sleep?
- No, dude. I'm—
Copy !req
1605. I'm going to sleep now.
I can't even stand up no more.
Copy !req
1606. Three years in the making, you know.
Copy !req
1607. This ain't my film,
but I put a lot of work in this film.
Copy !req
1608. I've known Mark for 20 years,
Copy !req
1609. and he's like my best friend,
and it's done.
Copy !req
1610. So after tonight, we can sleep and
then on to the next project, you know.
Copy !req
1611. Uh-Oh. Uncle Bill!
Copy !req
1612. There you go.
The executive producer, man.
Copy !req
1613. - Watch your head.
- Come right on over here, man.
Copy !req
1614. Hey. Oh, it's all right, man.
Copy !req
1615. Those are tickets
that you're selling now.
Copy !req
1616. - I was wondering.
- Dude was wondering.
Copy !req
1617. Well, you happy now?
Copy !req
1618. Or you got finances on your mind?
Copy !req
1619. When I hear the projector rolling
Copy !req
1620. and I see Coven on the screen,
then I'll believe it.
Copy !req
1621. This is the start of your money back.
Copy !req
1622. - Yeah!
Copy !req
1623. Yeah!
Copy !req
1624. It's all right! It's okay!
Copy !req
1625. There's something to live for!
Copy !req
1626. Jesus told me so!
Copy !req
1627. - How's the writing going?
- How's it going? It's going fine.
Copy !req
1628. - Is it?
- Hey, did I stutter?
Copy !req
1629. I said it's coming along fine.
Copy !req
1630. You just don't get it, man.
You're nowhere near getting it.
Copy !req
1631. Hey, man, what the fuck's
the matter with you, man?
Copy !req
1632. Mike, take it easy.
Copy !req
1633. Here's one on your first book.
Copy !req
1634. - Good luck to you.
- Thanks, Ray.
Copy !req
1635. Trying to help me now, man?
Trying to help me now?
Copy !req
1636. Very good.
Copy !req
1637. Thank you, mister.
Hey, Uncle Bill, thanks.
Copy !req
1638. Dad and Mom,
for all the sandwiches and the money.
Copy !req
1639. I'm gonna wake up
to hell tomorrow, man.
Copy !req
1640. Those credit cards
ain't gonna look nice, man.
Copy !req
1641. But I'm always a man for my word.
Mike Schank, you happy?
Copy !req
1642. Yeah, I'm happy.
- How happy are you, man?
Copy !req
1643. I'm very happy.
- Well, good, 'cause don't drink.
Copy !req
1644. You're gonna set the world's record.
Copy !req
1645. Okay, man, I'm cooled down, but—
Hey, I'm serious, man.
Copy !req
1646. If I missed somebody or anything,
thanks a million for helping out
Copy !req
1647. 'cause I couldn't have,
whatever, done it.
Copy !req
1648. Yeah!
Copy !req
1649. Yeah, it was fun.
I enjoyed doing it, you know?
Copy !req
1650. I value his friendship and enjoy
doing stuff with him, you know?
Copy !req
1651. And making movies
is what he does, you know,
Copy !req
1652. and so I make movies with him.
Copy !req
1653. Well, I hope all the best for Mark.
He works hard.
Copy !req
1654. And he has a lot of dreams.
Copy !req
1655. And I hope they come true.
Copy !req
1656. Product—
Copy !req
1657. Product accomplished.
Copy !req
1658. Whatever.
Copy !req
1659. God told me so.
Copy !req
1660. You done good, Bill. Congratulations.
Copy !req
1661. So are you ready
to make the next movie?
Copy !req
1662. - Sure.
- Good. Forty to fifty grand.
Copy !req
1663. Yeah, you told me that already.
Copy !req
1664. You want your dreams to come true?
Copy !req
1665. My dreams? What dreams is that?
Copy !req
