1. Still got it
Copy !req
2. What's that?
Copy !req
3. An old friend.
Copy !req
4. I was rummaging through a closet
Copy !req
5. and it was just sitting there.
Copy !req
6. It's nice, Paul.
Copy !req
7. It's got character.
Copy !req
8. When I wrote my first book,
Copy !req
9. I used to carry it around in this
Copy !req
10. while I was looking for a publisher.
Copy !req
11. I was a writer then.
Copy !req
12. You're still a writer.
Copy !req
13. Haven't been a writer since
I got in the Misery business.
Copy !req
14. It's not a bad business.
Copy !req
15. And it would still be growing, too.
Copy !req
16. The first printing for Misery's
Child was the most ever.
Copy !req
17. Over a million.
Copy !req
18. Marcia, please.
Copy !req
19. Misery Chastain put braces
on your daughter's teeth
Copy !req
20. and is putting her through college,
Copy !req
21. bought you two houses and
floor seats to the Knicks.
Copy !req
22. And what thanks does she get?
Copy !req
23. You go and kill her.
Copy !req
24. I never meant for it to become my life.
Copy !req
25. And if I hadn't gotten rid of her now,
Copy !req
26. I'd have ended up writing her forever.
Copy !req
27. Now, I'm leaving for Colorado
to try to finish the new book.
Copy !req
28. If I can make this work I
might just have something
Copy !req
29. I want on my tombstone.
Copy !req
30. I'm your number one fan.
Copy !req
31. There's nothing to worry about.
Copy !req
32. You're gonna be just fine.
Copy !req
33. I'll take good care of you.
Copy !req
34. I'm your number one fan.
Copy !req
35. Where?
Copy !req
36. We're just outside Silver Creek.
Copy !req
37. How long?
Copy !req
38. You've been here two days.
Copy !req
39. You're gonna be okay.
Copy !req
40. My name is Annie Wilkes.
Copy !req
41. My number one fan.
Copy !req
42. Yes, that's right.
Copy !req
43. I'm also a nurse.
Copy !req
44. Here, take these.
Copy !req
45. Here.
Copy !req
46. What are they?
Copy !req
47. They're called Novril.
Copy !req
48. They're for your pain.
Copy !req
49. Thank you.
Copy !req
50. How come I'm not in a hospital?
Copy !req
51. The blizzard was too strong.
Copy !req
52. I couldn't risk trying to get you there.
Copy !req
53. I tried calling, but the
phone lines are down.
Copy !req
54. Now, you mustn't tire yourself.
Copy !req
55. You've gotta rest.
Copy !req
56. You almost died.
Copy !req
57. Open wide.
Copy !req
58. Your legs just sing grand opera
when you move, don't they?
Copy !req
59. It's not gonna hurt forever, Paul.
Copy !req
60. I promise you.
Copy !req
61. Will I be able to walk?
Copy !req
62. Of course, you will.
Copy !req
63. And your arm will be fine, too.
Copy !req
64. Your shoulder was pretty badly dislocated.
Copy !req
65. It was a little stubborn, but
I finally popped it back in.
Copy !req
66. What I'm most proud of is
the work I did on those legs.
Copy !req
67. Considering what I had around the house,
Copy !req
68. I don't think there's a doctor
who could've done any better.
Copy !req
69. It's not nearly as bad as it looks.
Copy !req
70. You have a compound fracture
of the tibia in both legs,
Copy !req
71. and the fibula in the right
leg is fractured, too.
Copy !req
72. I could hear the bones moving,
Copy !req
73. so it's best for your
legs to remain immobile.
Copy !req
74. And as soon as the roads open,
I'll take you to a hospital.
Copy !req
75. Meantime, you've got a
lot of recovering to do,
Copy !req
76. and I consider it an honor
that you'll do it in my home.
Copy !req
77. This is Marcia Sindell.
Copy !req
78. I'm calling from New York City.
Copy !req
79. I'd like to speak to the Silver Creek
Copy !req
80. chief of police or sheriff.
Copy !req
81. Which
one of 'em do you want?
Copy !req
82. Whichever one's not busy.
Copy !req
83. Well, I'm pretty sure they're
both not busy, Ms. Sindell,
Copy !req
84. since they're both me.
Copy !req
85. I also happen to be president of the
Copy !req
86. Policeman's Benefit Association,
Copy !req
87. chairman of the Patrolman's
Retirement Fund,
Copy !req
88. and if you need a good fishing guide,
Copy !req
89. you could do a lot worse.
Copy !req
90. Call me Buster.
Copy !req
91. Everybody does.
Copy !req
92. What can I do for you?
Copy !req
93. I'm a literary agent, and I
feel like a fool calling you,
Copy !req
94. but I think one of my
clients, Paul Sheldon,
Copy !req
95. might be in some kind of trouble.
Copy !req
96. You mean Paul Sheldon the writer?
Copy !req
97. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
98. He's your client, huh?
Copy !req
99. Yes, he is.
Copy !req
100. Everybody sure likes those Misery books.
Copy !req
101. Yeah.
Copy !req
102. I'm sure you know that
Paul's been coming to
Copy !req
103. the Silver Creek Lodge for
years to finish his books.
Copy !req
104. I understand he's been
up here the last six weeks.
Copy !req
105. Well, not quite.
Copy !req
106. I just called there and they said
Copy !req
107. he checked out last Tuesday.
Copy !req
108. Isn't that a little strange?
Copy !req
109. Oh, I don't know.
Copy !req
110. Does he usually phone you
before he checks out of a hotel?
Copy !req
111. No.
Copy !req
112. No, of course not.
Copy !req
113. It's just that his daughter
hasn't heard from him,
Copy !req
114. and when he has a new book coming out,
Copy !req
115. he usually keeps in touch.
Copy !req
116. Now, when there wasn't
any word from him, I...
Copy !req
117. You think he might be missin', huh?
Copy !req
118. I hate that I made this call.
Copy !req
119. Tell me I'm being silly.
Copy !req
120. Oh, a little overprotective, maybe,
Copy !req
121. but tell you what I'll do.
Copy !req
122. Nothing's been reported out here,
Copy !req
123. but I'll put his name through our system.
Copy !req
124. If anything turns up,
I'll call you right back.
Copy !req
125. I'd appreciate that.
Copy !req
126. Thanks a lot.
Copy !req
127. Goodbye, Ms. Sindell.
Copy !req
128. We got a phone call?
Copy !req
129. Busy morning.
Copy !req
130. Yeah.
Copy !req
131. Work, work, work.
Copy !req
132. Virginia, when was that blizzard?
Copy !req
133. Last Tuesday.
Copy !req
134. Why?
Copy !req
135. No reason.
Copy !req
136. I guess it was kind of
a miracle, you finding me.
Copy !req
137. No, it wasn't a miracle at all.
Copy !req
138. In a way, I was following you.
Copy !req
139. You were following me?
Copy !req
140. Well, it wasn't any secret to me
Copy !req
141. you were staying at the Silver Creek,
Copy !req
142. seeing as how I'm your
number one fan and all.
Copy !req
143. Some nights I'd just tool on down there,
Copy !req
144. and sit outside, and look up
at the light in your cabin,
Copy !req
145. and I'd try to imagine what
was goin' on in the room
Copy !req
146. of the world's greatest writer.
Copy !req
147. Say the last part
again, I didn't hear you.
Copy !req
148. Don't move now.
Copy !req
149. I wouldn't want to hurt this neck.
Copy !req
150. Well, the other afternoon
I was on my way home,
Copy !req
151. and there you were, leavin' the lodge.
Copy !req
152. And I wondered why a literary
genius would go for a drive
Copy !req
153. when there was a big storm comin'.
Copy !req
154. I didn't know there
was a big storm coming.
Copy !req
155. Well, lucky for you, I did.
Copy !req
156. And lucky for me, too,
Copy !req
157. 'cause now you're alive and
you can write more books.
Copy !req
158. Oh, Paul.
Copy !req
159. I've read everything of yours.
Copy !req
160. But, the Misery novels.
Copy !req
161. I know 'em all by heart.
Copy !req
162. All eight of 'em.
Copy !req
163. I love them so.
Copy !req
164. Well, you're very kind.
Copy !req
165. And you're very brilliant.
Copy !req
166. Like a baby.
Copy !req
167. All done.
Copy !req
168. Thank you.
Copy !req
169. When do you think the
phone lines will be up?
Copy !req
170. I have to call my daughter,
Copy !req
171. and I'd like to call my agent in New York
Copy !req
172. and let her know I'm still breathing.
Copy !req
173. It shouldn't be too much longer now.
Copy !req
174. Once the roads are open,
Copy !req
175. the phone lines will be up in no time.
Copy !req
176. If you give me their numbers,
I'll keep tryin' them for you.
Copy !req
177. Thank you.
Copy !req
178. Could I ask you a favor?
Copy !req
179. I noticed in your case there's
a new Paul Sheldon book,
Copy !req
180. and I wondered if maybe...
Copy !req
181. You want to read it?
Copy !req
182. Well, if you wouldn't mind.
Copy !req
183. Well, I do have a
very hard-and-fast rule
Copy !req
184. as to who reads my stuff
at this early stage.
Copy !req
185. Only my editor, my agent,
and anybody that saves me
Copy !req
186. from freezing to death in a car wreck.
Copy !req
187. Oh.
Copy !req
188. You'll never realize what a
rare treat you've given me.
Copy !req
189. Boy, it's like clockwork
the way your pain comes.
Copy !req
190. I'll get you your Novril, Paul.
Copy !req
191. Forgive me for prattling away
and making you feel all oogy.
Copy !req
192. What's your new book called?
Copy !req
193. I don't have a title yet.
Copy !req
194. What's it about?
Copy !req
195. I don't know.
Copy !req
196. I know it sounds crazy, but
I haven't written anything
Copy !req
197. but Misery for so long.
Copy !req
198. Why don't you read it and you can tell me
Copy !req
199. what you think it's about?
Copy !req
200. Maybe you can come up with a title.
Copy !req
201. Like I could do that.
Copy !req
202. There's nothin' unusual about
Copy !req
203. Mr. Sheldon's leaving, Buster.
Copy !req
204. You can tell by the champagne.
Copy !req
205. Maybe you can, Libby.
Copy !req
206. No, see, he always orders
a bottle of Dom Perignon
Copy !req
207. when he's ready to go.
Copy !req
208. Then, he pays up and he's out the door.
Copy !req
209. No long-distance phone calls
or Federal Express packages?
Copy !req
210. Anything out of the ordinary?
Copy !req
211. I don't think Mr. Sheldon
Copy !req
212. likes for things to be
out of the ordinary.
Copy !req
213. Considering who he is
and all, famous and all,
Copy !req
214. he doesn't put on airs.
Copy !req
215. Drives up from New York
in the same car each time.
Copy !req
216. A '65 Mustang.
Copy !req
217. He says it helps him to think.
Copy !req
218. He's always been a good guest.
Copy !req
219. Never makes a noise, never bothers a soul.
Copy !req
220. I sure hope nothing's happened to him.
Copy !req
221. So do I.
Copy !req
222. I bet that old Mustang is
pulling into New York right now.
Copy !req
223. I'm sure you're right.
Copy !req
224. Thanks, Libby.
Copy !req
225. My pleasure.
Copy !req
226. I know I'm only 40 pages
into your book, but...
Copy !req
227. But what?
Copy !req
228. Nothing.
Copy !req
229. What is it?
Copy !req
230. It's ridiculous.
Copy !req
231. Who am I to make a criticism
to someone like you?
Copy !req
232. It's all right, I can take it.
Copy !req
233. Well, it's brilliantly written.
Copy !req
234. But then, everything
you write is brilliant.
Copy !req
235. Pretty rough so far.
Copy !req
236. The swearing, Paul.
Copy !req
237. There, I said it.
Copy !req
238. The profanity bothers you?
Copy !req
239. It has no nobility.
Copy !req
240. These are slum kids.
Copy !req
241. I was a slum kid.
Copy !req
242. Everybody talks like that.
Copy !req
243. They do not!
Copy !req
244. What do you think I say when I
go to the feed store in town?
Copy !req
245. Now, Wally, give me a bag
of that F-ing pig feed
Copy !req
246. and 10 pounds of that bitchly cow corn.
Copy !req
247. And in the bank, do I tell Mrs. Bollinger,
Copy !req
248. here's one big bastard of a check,
Copy !req
249. give me some of your Christing money?
Copy !req
250. There!
Copy !req
251. Look there!
Copy !req
252. See what you made me do?
Copy !req
253. Oh, Paul.
Copy !req
254. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
255. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
256. Sometimes I get so worked up.
Copy !req
257. Can you ever forgive me?
Copy !req
258. It's fine.
Copy !req
259. I love you, Paul.
Copy !req
260. Your mind.
Copy !req
261. Your creativity.
Copy !req
262. That's all I meant.
Copy !req
263. Well, this sure is fun.
Copy !req
264. Virginia, when you're in
this car you're not my wife,
Copy !req
265. you're my deputy.
Copy !req
266. Well, this deputy'd rather be home
Copy !req
267. under the covers with the sheriff.
Copy !req
268. Stop.
Copy !req
269. What?
Copy !req
270. Stop!
Copy !req
271. What?
Copy !req
272. See that broken limb?
Copy !req
273. Could've been the weight of the snow.
Copy !req
274. Yeah?
Copy !req
275. Could've been a rotten branch.
Copy !req
276. Could've been the wind.
Copy !req
277. Could've been a lot of things.
Copy !req
278. Damn!
Copy !req
279. Need some help?
Copy !req
280. No, I'm enjoyin' myself!
Copy !req
281. Thank you.
Copy !req
282. You really think Sheldon's out there?
Copy !req
283. I hope not.
Copy !req
284. If he is, he's dead.
Copy !req
285. Let's go to the newspaper office.
Copy !req
286. Oh, I hope I didn't wake you.
Copy !req
287. No, that's fine.
Copy !req
288. Look what I got.
Copy !req
289. They had it at the store, Paul.
Copy !req
290. There was a whole batch of 'em there,
Copy !req
291. and as soon as I saw it
I slammed my money down.
Copy !req
292. I got the first copy.
Copy !req
293. Then, the roads are open.
Copy !req
294. Well, the one to town
is, but that's about it.
Copy !req
295. I called the hospital
Copy !req
296. and I talked to the
head orthopedic surgeon
Copy !req
297. and I told him who you
were and what had happened.
Copy !req
298. And he said as long as
there's no infection
Copy !req
299. you're not in any danger.
Copy !req
300. And as soon as the road
to the hospital is open,
Copy !req
301. they'll send an ambulance for you.
Copy !req
302. The phone's working?
Copy !req
303. Well, mine's still out,
Copy !req
304. but the ones in town
were working just fine.
Copy !req
305. I called that agent of yours.
Copy !req
306. Oh, Paul.
Copy !req
307. I peeked at the very beginning.
Copy !req
308. What a wonderful first page.
Copy !req
309. Just to read the name Misery Chastain.
Copy !req
310. My daughter's gotta be goin' nuts.
Copy !req
311. It's like a visit from
my oldest, dearest friend.
Copy !req
312. I mean, I'm supposed to
be home for her birthday.
Copy !req
313. It's today.
Copy !req
314. The agent said she would
tell her you were okay,
Copy !req
315. but I'm afraid you'll
have to wait till tomorrow
Copy !req
316. if you want to talk to her yourself.
Copy !req
317. Oh, Paul.
Copy !req
318. What a poet you are.
Copy !req
319. I made you my specialty,
scrambled eggs a la Wilkes.
Copy !req
320. And I'm on Page 75.
Copy !req
321. I guess that means it's okay.
Copy !req
322. No.
Copy !req
323. No, it isn't, it's...
Copy !req
324. Oh, pooh.
Copy !req
325. I can't think of any words.
Copy !req
326. Would great be insulting?
Copy !req
327. I can live with great.
Copy !req
328. No.
Copy !req
329. It's not just great, it's perfect.
Copy !req
330. A perfect, perfect thing.
Copy !req
331. I thought it was time you two should meet.
Copy !req
332. Paul, say hello to my favorite
beast in the whole world,
Copy !req
333. my sow Misery.
Copy !req
334. Misery?
Copy !req
335. Yes.
Copy !req
336. I told you I was your number one fan.
Copy !req
337. Yeah, I'm starting to believe you.
Copy !req
338. This farm was kind of dreary,
Copy !req
339. what with just a few
cows and chickens and me.
Copy !req
340. But, when I got Misery
here, everything changed.
Copy !req
341. She just makes me smile so.
Copy !req
342. She's a fine pig, is what she is.
Copy !req
343. I'm on Page 300 now, Paul,
Copy !req
344. and it's better than perfect.
Copy !req
345. It's divine.
Copy !req
346. What's the ceiling that dago painted?
Copy !req
347. The Sistine Chapel?
Copy !req
348. Yeah!
Copy !req
349. That and Misery's Child.
Copy !req
350. Those are the only two divine
things ever in this world.
Copy !req
351. When my husband left
me, I wasn't prepared.
Copy !req
352. It wasn't an easy time.
Copy !req
353. For a while I thought I might go crazy.
Copy !req
354. I know how that can be.
Copy !req
355. I don't know about you,
Copy !req
356. but what I did to get through
it was I dove into work.
Copy !req
357. Days, nights.
Copy !req
358. Night shifts can be lonely at a hospital.
Copy !req
359. I did a lot of reading.
Copy !req
360. That was when I first discovered Misery.
Copy !req
361. She made me so happy.
Copy !req
362. She made me forget all my problems.
Copy !req
363. Course, I suppose you
had a little something
Copy !req
364. to do with that, too.
Copy !req
365. Yeah, well.
Copy !req
366. I just kept reading them over and over.
Copy !req
367. I've only got two
chapters to go on this one
Copy !req
368. and I know when I finish I'll just turn
Copy !req
369. right to the first page and
start reading it all over again.
Copy !req
370. I'm, uh.
Copy !req
371. Um.
Copy !req
372. Done?
Copy !req
373. Yeah.
Copy !req
374. No problem.
Copy !req
375. Thanks.
Copy !req
376. Don't get me wrong.
Copy !req
377. I'm not against marriage per se,
Copy !req
378. but it'd take a pretty special guy
Copy !req
379. to make me want to walk
down that aisle again.
Copy !req
380. Yeah, it's not something
you should enter into lightly.
Copy !req
381. It boils down to respect.
Copy !req
382. People just don't respect
Copy !req
383. the institution of marriage anymore.
Copy !req
384. They have no sense of real commitment.
Copy !req
385. Well, I'd love to stay here and chat,
Copy !req
386. but I'm right at the end and
I gotta find out what happens.
Copy !req
387. You.
Copy !req
388. You dirty bird.
Copy !req
389. How could you?
Copy !req
390. She can't be dead.
Copy !req
391. Misery Chastain cannot be dead.
Copy !req
392. Annie, in 1871, women
often died in childbirth.
Copy !req
393. But, her spirit is the important thing,
Copy !req
394. and Misery's spirit is still alive.
Copy !req
395. I don't want her spirit!
Copy !req
396. I want her!
Copy !req
397. And you murdered her!
Copy !req
398. No, I didn't.
Copy !req
399. Who did?
Copy !req
400. No one.
Copy !req
401. She died.
Copy !req
402. She just slipped away.
Copy !req
403. Slipped away?
Copy !req
404. Slipped away?
Copy !req
405. She didn't just slip away!
Copy !req
406. You did it!
Copy !req
407. You did it!
Copy !req
408. You murdered my Misery!
Copy !req
409. Annie, Annie!
Copy !req
410. I thought you were good, Paul.
Copy !req
411. But, you're not good.
Copy !req
412. You're just another
lying old dirty birdie.
Copy !req
413. And I don't think I better
be around you for a while.
Copy !req
414. And don't even think about
anybody coming for you.
Copy !req
415. Not the doctors, not your
agent, not your family,
Copy !req
416. because I never called them.
Copy !req
417. Nobody knows you're here.
Copy !req
418. And you better hope nothing happens to me.
Copy !req
419. Because if I die, you die.
Copy !req
420. No, Ms. Sindell.
Copy !req
421. There's no point in comin' up here now.
Copy !req
422. Everything that can be done is.
Copy !req
423. Yes, we're working close
with the state police
Copy !req
424. and the FBI's been informed.
Copy !req
425. Right.
Copy !req
426. As soon as we know anything,
we'll let you know.
Copy !req
427. No bother at all.
Copy !req
428. Call anytime.
Copy !req
429. Goodbye, Ms. Sindell.
Copy !req
430. All right.
Copy !req
431. Well, I sure appreciate it.
Copy !req
432. Thank you.
Copy !req
433. According to the check on
Sheldon's credit charges,
Copy !req
434. there's nothing after the Silver Creek.
Copy !req
435. And no calls about the article, either.
Copy !req
436. You poor, dear thing.
Copy !req
437. What are you doing on the floor?
Copy !req
438. It's all my fault.
Copy !req
439. If I'd had a proper hospital bed
Copy !req
440. this never would've happened.
Copy !req
441. Here, let me help you back in.
Copy !req
442. I know this hurts, but it'll
only take a few seconds.
Copy !req
443. Upsy-daisy.
Copy !req
444. Oh, please, wait, wait.
Copy !req
445. Oh, you're such a crybaby.
Copy !req
446. Wait.
Copy !req
447. There you go.
Copy !req
448. Comfy?
Copy !req
449. Perfect.
Copy !req
450. You're such a kidder.
Copy !req
451. I have a big surprise for you.
Copy !req
452. But first, there's something you must do.
Copy !req
453. You don't suppose I
could have a little snack
Copy !req
454. while I'm waiting for the surprise?
Copy !req
455. I'll get you everything you want,
Copy !req
456. but you must listen first.
Copy !req
457. Sometimes my thinking is a
little muddy, I accept that.
Copy !req
458. That's why I couldn't
remember all the things
Copy !req
459. they were asking me on the
witness stand in Denver.
Copy !req
460. But, this time I thought clearly.
Copy !req
461. I asked God about you, and God said,
Copy !req
462. "I delivered him unto you so
that you may show him the way."
Copy !req
463. Show me the way?
Copy !req
464. Yes.
Copy !req
465. When I mentioned a snack,
Copy !req
466. I was thinking more along the lines
Copy !req
467. of a cheese and crackers kind of thing.
Copy !req
468. Paul, this is no time for jokes.
Copy !req
469. You must rid the world of this filth.
Copy !req
470. You want me to burn my book?
Copy !req
471. I know this may be difficult for you,
Copy !req
472. but it's for the best.
Copy !req
473. It's really not difficult at all.
Copy !req
474. My agent made dozens of copies.
Copy !req
475. There's gonna be an auction in New York.
Copy !req
476. Every publishing house in
New York is reading it now.
Copy !req
477. So, if you want me to burn my book, fine.
Copy !req
478. You're not really ridding
the world of anything.
Copy !req
479. Then, light the match, Paul.
Copy !req
480. It's no big deal.
Copy !req
481. So you've indicated.
Copy !req
482. Do it.
Copy !req
483. I know this is the only copy, Paul.
Copy !req
484. When you were 24 you
wrote your first book,
Copy !req
485. and you didn't make a copy
because you didn't think
Copy !req
486. anybody would take it seriously.
Copy !req
487. But, they did.
Copy !req
488. And ever since, you've
never made any copies
Copy !req
489. because you're superstitious.
Copy !req
490. It's why you always come back
to the Silver Creek Lodge.
Copy !req
491. You told that story to
Merv Griffin 11 years ago.
Copy !req
492. Merv Griffin.
Copy !req
493. I'll tell you what.
Copy !req
494. It doesn't ever have to be published.
Copy !req
495. No one ever has to read it.
Copy !req
496. I'll just keep it for myself.
Copy !req
497. No one will even know it exists.
Copy !req
498. As long as it does exist,
your mind won't ever be free.
Copy !req
499. I think you should light the match, Paul.
Copy !req
500. Can't you see it's what God wants?
Copy !req
501. You're so brilliant,
Copy !req
502. I would think you'd certainly
be able to see that.
Copy !req
503. We're put on this earth
to help people, Paul.
Copy !req
504. Like I'm trying to help you.
Copy !req
505. Please.
Copy !req
506. Help me help you.
Copy !req
507. You're doing the right thing.
Copy !req
508. Oh, my goodness!
Copy !req
509. Goodness gracious.
Copy !req
510. Oh, my.
Copy !req
511. Oh, goodness.
Copy !req
512. Heavens to Betsy.
Copy !req
513. Oh, my goodness.
Copy !req
514. Heavens to Betsy.
Copy !req
515. Oh, goodness.
Copy !req
516. Well, isn't that an oogy mess?
Copy !req
517. That's the Steadman place down there.
Copy !req
518. And that's the Wilkes farm straight ahead.
Copy !req
519. That's no '65 Mustang.
Copy !req
520. Well, there's nothing else out this way.
Copy !req
521. Let's circle back.
Copy !req
522. I do believe the winters
are getting shorter
Copy !req
523. and shorter every year.
Copy !req
524. People say it has something
to do with the ozone layer.
Copy !req
525. What do you think?
Copy !req
526. I don't know.
Copy !req
527. Yeah, well.
Copy !req
528. It's a theory.
Copy !req
529. Here's your Novril.
Copy !req
530. All right, we're back.
Copy !req
531. Now, you're gonna have to remind
us who the audience chose.
Copy !req
532. They chose Kevin.
Copy !req
533. He's backstage.
Copy !req
534. Say hello to Kevin Andrews.
Copy !req
535. Hi, Kevin.
Copy !req
536. Hi.
Copy !req
537. How you doin', Chuck?
Copy !req
538. Fine.
Copy !req
539. Make yourself at home back there,
Copy !req
540. and Sheree will tell us about the date.
Copy !req
541. Okay.
Copy !req
542. First of all, I picked out
a very classy restaurant.
Copy !req
543. It was so classy, and he
shows up without no tie.
Copy !req
544. No.
Copy !req
545. And he had these black shoes on.
Copy !req
546. What, did you
tell him it was gonna be
Copy !req
547. kind of a formal evening?
Copy !req
548. No.
Copy !req
549. Actually, I did not,
but it doesn't matter.
Copy !req
550. If someone knows they're
going out with Sharee Banks,
Copy !req
551. they should be dressed very classy.
Copy !req
552. See, isn't this nice?
Copy !req
553. Great.
Copy !req
554. I always wanted to visit
the other side of the room.
Copy !req
555. Ooh, and look what I got for you.
Copy !req
556. An electric razor, so you
can shave yourself now.
Copy !req
557. If I knew this was
gonna be the surprise,
Copy !req
558. I'd have burned all my books.
Copy !req
559. Now, don't poke fun.
Copy !req
560. This is a very big day for you, Paul.
Copy !req
561. You just sit tight and
I'll set everything up.
Copy !req
562. Set what up?
Copy !req
563. That's the big surprise.
Copy !req
564. Your new studio.
Copy !req
565. After all, writers do
need a place to work.
Copy !req
566. Work?
Copy !req
567. You mean write?
Copy !req
568. What in the world do you think I'd write?
Copy !req
569. Oh, but, Paul.
Copy !req
570. I don't think, I know.
Copy !req
571. Now that you've gotten rid
of that nasty manuscript,
Copy !req
572. you can go back to doing
what you're great at.
Copy !req
573. You're gonna write a new novel,
Copy !req
574. your greatest achievement ever.
Copy !req
575. Misery's Return.
Copy !req
576. Misery's Return?
Copy !req
577. I know you didn't mean
it when you killed her,
Copy !req
578. and now you'll make it right.
Copy !req
579. It'll be a book in my
honor for saving your life
Copy !req
580. and nursing you back to health.
Copy !req
581. Oh, Paul.
Copy !req
582. You're gonna make me the
envy of the whole world.
Copy !req
583. You just expect me to whip
something off, is that it?
Copy !req
584. I expect nothing less
than your masterpiece.
Copy !req
585. You do understand that
this is not the ordinary way
Copy !req
586. in which books get written.
Copy !req
587. I mean, some people might actually
Copy !req
588. consider this an oddball situation.
Copy !req
589. I have total confidence
in your brilliance.
Copy !req
590. Besides, the view will inspire you.
Copy !req
591. You just inhale that.
Copy !req
592. I'll be right back.
Copy !req
593. I guess you don't get
bothered by neighbors much.
Copy !req
594. Don't you worry about that.
Copy !req
595. You'll have total solitude
Copy !req
596. so you can concentrate on your work.
Copy !req
597. Great.
Copy !req
598. I got you this expensive
paper to type on.
Copy !req
599. And I got a great deal
on this 50-pound clunker,
Copy !req
600. on account of its missing an N.
Copy !req
601. I told the saleslady N
was one of the letters
Copy !req
602. in my favorite writer's name.
Copy !req
603. It's two of the letters
in my favorite nurse's name.
Copy !req
604. Annie.
Copy !req
605. You fooler.
Copy !req
606. Did I do good?
Copy !req
607. You did great.
Copy !req
608. There is just one little thing.
Copy !req
609. I can't work on this paper.
Copy !req
610. See, it's Corrasable Bond and it smudges.
Copy !req
611. So, I thought maybe, if
you went back into town,
Copy !req
612. you could bring me some
white long-grain mimeo.
Copy !req
613. But, mine cost the most,
Copy !req
614. so I don't see how it can smudge.
Copy !req
615. Come here, I'll show you.
Copy !req
616. Oh, it does smudge, after all.
Copy !req
617. Isn't that fascinating?
Copy !req
618. I thought you'd be interested.
Copy !req
619. I'd like for you to be
in on everything, Annie.
Copy !req
620. Not just the finished
book, but how it's written.
Copy !req
621. Thank you for thinking of me.
Copy !req
622. Anything else I can get while I'm in town?
Copy !req
623. Any other crucial requirements
that need satisfying?
Copy !req
624. Would you like a tiny tape recorder?
Copy !req
625. Or how about a handmade
set of writing slippers?
Copy !req
626. No, just the paper will be fine.
Copy !req
627. Are you sure?
Copy !req
628. 'Cause if you want, I'll bring
back the whole store for you.
Copy !req
629. Annie, what's the matter?
Copy !req
630. What's the matter?
Copy !req
631. I'll tell you what's the matter!
Copy !req
632. I go out of my way for you!
Copy !req
633. I do everything to try and make you happy!
Copy !req
634. I feed you, I clean you, I dress you,
Copy !req
635. and what thanks do I get?
Copy !req
636. Oh, you bought the wrong paper, Annie.
Copy !req
637. I can't write on this paper, Annie!
Copy !req
638. Well, I'll get your stupid paper,
Copy !req
639. but you just better start showing me
Copy !req
640. a little more appreciation
around here, Mr. Man!
Copy !req
641. Shit.
Copy !req
642. Come on, you've written
about this, now do it.
Copy !req
643. What do you know?
Copy !req
644. It actually works.
Copy !req
645. What a surprise.
Copy !req
646. You crazy bitch.
Copy !req
647. Paul, I've got your paper.
Copy !req
648. I hope it's enough.
Copy !req
649. It's three reams of long-grain mimeo.
Copy !req
650. Just the kind you asked for.
Copy !req
651. Paul, you're dripping with perspiration.
Copy !req
652. Your color is very hectic.
Copy !req
653. What have you been doing?
Copy !req
654. You know damn well what I've been doing.
Copy !req
655. I've been sitting here suffering.
Copy !req
656. I need my pills.
Copy !req
657. Poor dear.
Copy !req
658. Let's get you back in bed
and I'll get them for you.
Copy !req
659. I want my pills now.
Copy !req
660. It'll only take a second.
Copy !req
661. No!
Copy !req
662. I want my pain to go away, Annie.
Copy !req
663. Please, make it go away.
Copy !req
664. Please, Annie.
Copy !req
665. Please.
Copy !req
666. It just breaks my heart
to see you like this.
Copy !req
667. I've done a lot of thinking on the drive.
Copy !req
668. Here you go.
Copy !req
669. And I'm absolutely certain the main reason
Copy !req
670. I've never been more popular
is because of my temper.
Copy !req
671. You must be so mad at me.
Copy !req
672. The truth, now.
Copy !req
673. Well, who doesn't let off a little steam
Copy !req
674. every once in a while?
Copy !req
675. My genius needs his
rest before he writes.
Copy !req
676. Footsies up.
Copy !req
677. There you go.
Copy !req
678. Okay.
Copy !req
679. Here.
Copy !req
680. In case you think of any ideas.
Copy !req
681. Well, I wouldn't expect too much.
Copy !req
682. Don't be silly.
Copy !req
683. You'll be brilliant.
Copy !req
684. Think of me as your inspiration.
Copy !req
685. I have faith in you, my darling.
Copy !req
686. Catch this.
Copy !req
687. My darling.
Copy !req
688. The presumption must now
be that Paul Sheldon is dead.
Copy !req
689. We know that he somehow managed
Copy !req
690. to crawl outside his vehicle,
Copy !req
691. but we have been unable to find his body
Copy !req
692. anywhere in the vicinity of the accident.
Copy !req
693. We also know that if anyone had found him
Copy !req
694. they would have taken
him to an area hospital.
Copy !req
695. Undoubtedly, he is buried
somewhere out there in the snow.
Copy !req
696. We'll find him after the first thaw.
Copy !req
697. That is, unless the animals
didn't get to him first,
Copy !req
698. which is a distinct possibility.
Copy !req
699. That was a statement from
Copy !req
700. Colorado Police Chief Sherman Douglas.
Copy !req
701. We will be updating you with the latest.
Copy !req
702. You don't think he's dead, do you?
Copy !req
703. Well, he might well be,
but not the way they say.
Copy !req
704. He never crawled out
of that car by himself.
Copy !req
705. You can see the dents on the door there.
Copy !req
706. Someone pulled him out.
Copy !req
707. I'm sorry, Paul.
Copy !req
708. This is all wrong.
Copy !req
709. What?
Copy !req
710. You'll have to do it over again.
Copy !req
711. It's not worthy of you.
Copy !req
712. Throw it all out.
Copy !req
713. Except for that part of naming
the gravedigger after me.
Copy !req
714. You can leave that in.
Copy !req
715. I really value your criticism,
Copy !req
716. but maybe we're being a little hasty here.
Copy !req
717. Paul, what you've
written just isn't fair.
Copy !req
718. Not fair?
Copy !req
719. That's right.
Copy !req
720. When I was growing up in Bakersfield,
Copy !req
721. my favorite thing in all the world
Copy !req
722. was to go to the movies
on Saturday afternoons
Copy !req
723. for the chapter plays.
Copy !req
724. Cliffhangers.
Copy !req
725. I know that, Mr. Man!
Copy !req
726. They also call them serials!
Copy !req
727. I'm not stupid, you know!
Copy !req
728. Anyway, my favorite was Rocketman,
Copy !req
729. and once it was a no-brakes chapter,
Copy !req
730. and the bad guys stuck him
in a car on a mountain road,
Copy !req
731. and knocked him out and
welded the doors shut
Copy !req
732. and tore out the brakes and
started him to his death.
Copy !req
733. And he woke up and tried to
steer and tried to get out,
Copy !req
734. but the car went off a cliff
before he could escape,
Copy !req
735. and it crashed and burned and
I was so upset and excited.
Copy !req
736. And the next week, you better
believe I was first in line.
Copy !req
737. And they always start with
the end of the last week,
Copy !req
738. and there was Rocketman,
trying to get out,
Copy !req
739. and here comes the cliff,
and just before the car
Copy !req
740. went off the cliff he jumped
free, and all the kids cheered.
Copy !req
741. But, I didn't cheer.
Copy !req
742. I stood right up and started shouting,
Copy !req
743. this isn't what happened last week!
Copy !req
744. Have you all got amnesia?
Copy !req
745. They just cheated us!
Copy !req
746. This isn't fair!
Copy !req
747. He didn't get out of the cockadoodie car!
Copy !req
748. They always cheated like
that in chapter plays.
Copy !req
749. But, not you.
Copy !req
750. Not with my Misery.
Copy !req
751. Remember, Ian did ride for Dr. Cleary
Copy !req
752. at the end of the last book,
Copy !req
753. but his horse fell jumping that fence,
Copy !req
754. and Ian broke his shoulder and his ribs
Copy !req
755. and lay all night in the ditch
Copy !req
756. and he never reached the doctor,
Copy !req
757. so there couldn't have been any
Copy !req
758. experimental blood transfusion
that saved her life.
Copy !req
759. Misery was buried in the
ground at the end, Paul.
Copy !req
760. So, you'll have to start there.
Copy !req
761. Is it fair?
Copy !req
762. Should I continue?
Copy !req
763. You better.
Copy !req
764. Oh, Paul.
Copy !req
765. When Ian realized that the
reason they'd buried Misery alive
Copy !req
766. was because the bee sting had put her
Copy !req
767. in that temporary coma.
Copy !req
768. And when Gravedigger Wilkes
remembered how 30 years earlier
Copy !req
769. the same thing had happened
to Lady Evelyn-Hyde.
Copy !req
770. And then old Dr. Cleary
deduced that Misery
Copy !req
771. must be Lady Evelyn-Hyde's
long-lost daughter
Copy !req
772. because of the rarity
of deadly bee stings,
Copy !req
773. my heart just leapt!
Copy !req
774. I've known from the very first book
Copy !req
775. that Misery had to be born
of nobility and I was right.
Copy !req
776. Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
777. Oh, Paul.
Copy !req
778. Can I read each chapter when you finish?
Copy !req
779. I can fill in the Ns.
Copy !req
780. Will she be her old self now
that Ian has dug her out,
Copy !req
781. or will she have amnesia?
Copy !req
782. Have to wait.
Copy !req
783. Will she still love him with
that special, perfect love?
Copy !req
784. You'll have to wait.
Copy !req
785. Not even a hint?
Copy !req
786. Mm-mm.
Copy !req
787. Misery's alive, Misery's alive!
Copy !req
788. Oh, it's so romantic!
Copy !req
789. This whole house is gonna
be filled with romance!
Copy !req
790. I'm gonna put on my Liberace records!
Copy !req
791. You do like Liberace, don't you?
Copy !req
792. Whenever he played Radio City,
Copy !req
793. who do you think was right
there in the front row?
Copy !req
794. I'm gonna play my records
all day long, to inspire you.
Copy !req
795. He's my all-time favorite.
Copy !req
796. Annie.
Copy !req
797. Would you have dinner with me tonight
Copy !req
798. to celebrate Misery's Return?
Copy !req
799. I couldn't have done it without you.
Copy !req
800. Oh, Paul.
Copy !req
801. It would be an honor.
Copy !req
802. No, he's not here.
Copy !req
803. I don't know where he is.
Copy !req
804. He never tells me anything anymore.
Copy !req
805. He's probably out havin'
an affair somewhere.
Copy !req
806. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
807. He's comin' in now.
Copy !req
808. It's Jim Taylor.
Copy !req
809. He wants to know who you're
havin' an affair with.
Copy !req
810. Hello, Jim.
Copy !req
811. What's doin'?
Copy !req
812. Jim, we've been through this before.
Copy !req
813. If you're gonna have benches
out in front of your store,
Copy !req
814. people are gonna want to sit on 'em.
Copy !req
815. Well, I don't like him either,
Copy !req
816. but I'm not gonna come over
there and tell him to move.
Copy !req
817. Give my best to Denise.
Copy !req
818. Bye.
Copy !req
819. Well, whoever she is, she
sure likes to read a lot.
Copy !req
820. Virginia, I'm flattered that you think
Copy !req
821. I've got that much energy.
Copy !req
822. I figured that if I
can't find Paul Sheldon,
Copy !req
823. at least I can find out
what he wrote about.
Copy !req
824. What do you expect to find?
Copy !req
825. A story about a guy who drove his car
Copy !req
826. off a cliff in a snowstorm?
Copy !req
827. You see, it's just that kind of sarcasm
Copy !req
828. that's given our marriage real spice.
Copy !req
829. I hope you like it.
Copy !req
830. It looks wonderful.
Copy !req
831. So do you.
Copy !req
832. I've never had meatloaf this good.
Copy !req
833. What do you do to it?
Copy !req
834. My secret is I only use
fresh tomatoes, never canned.
Copy !req
835. And to give it that little extra zip,
Copy !req
836. I mix in some Spam with the ground beef.
Copy !req
837. Ah.
Copy !req
838. Can't get this in a
restaurant in New York.
Copy !req
839. Let's have a toast.
Copy !req
840. A toast?
Copy !req
841. Yes.
Copy !req
842. To Misery.
Copy !req
843. Let me pour you some wine.
Copy !req
844. Whoa.
Copy !req
845. Hmm?
Copy !req
846. No.
Copy !req
847. To Misery.
Copy !req
848. Wait.
Copy !req
849. Let's do this right.
Copy !req
850. Do you have any candles?
Copy !req
851. Oh, um, I don't know.
Copy !req
852. I think so.
Copy !req
853. I'll go look.
Copy !req
854. Did you study decorating
or do you just have a flair?
Copy !req
855. Oh, you!
Copy !req
856. I just picked things up over the years.
Copy !req
857. Well, it certainly says you.
Copy !req
858. You really think so?
Copy !req
859. Oh, absolutely.
Copy !req
860. Listen, if you can't find any, it's okay.
Copy !req
861. I just thought it'd be nice.
Copy !req
862. Are you kidding?
Copy !req
863. If anyone had ever told me that one day
Copy !req
864. I'd be having a candlelit dinner
Copy !req
865. with Paul Sheldon in my own house,
Copy !req
866. I would've checked both legs
Copy !req
867. to see which one was bein' pulled.
Copy !req
868. Will this do?
Copy !req
869. It's perfect.
Copy !req
870. To Misery and to Annie Wilkes,
who brought her back to life.
Copy !req
871. Oh, Paul.
Copy !req
872. I get goosebumps every
time I think about it.
Copy !req
873. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Copy !req
874. Oh, my God, what have I done?
Copy !req
875. Oh, I'm so sorry, Paul.
Copy !req
876. I ruined your beautiful toast.
Copy !req
877. Will you ever forgive me?
Copy !req
878. Here, let me pour another one.
Copy !req
879. Can we pretend this never happened?
Copy !req
880. To Misery.
Copy !req
881. To Misery.
Copy !req
882. Paul, this is positively the best Misery
Copy !req
883. you've ever written.
Copy !req
884. Here's your pills.
Copy !req
885. Annie?
Copy !req
886. Annie, what is it?
Copy !req
887. The rain.
Copy !req
888. Sometimes it gives me the blues.
Copy !req
889. When you first came here,
Copy !req
890. I only loved the writer
part of Paul Sheldon.
Copy !req
891. But, now I know I love
the rest of him, too.
Copy !req
892. I know you don't love me.
Copy !req
893. Don't say you do.
Copy !req
894. You're a beautiful, brilliant,
famous man of the world
Copy !req
895. and I'm not a movie-star type.
Copy !req
896. You'll never know the fear
of losing someone like you,
Copy !req
897. if you're someone like me.
Copy !req
898. Why would you lose me?
Copy !req
899. The book's almost finished.
Copy !req
900. Your legs are getting better.
Copy !req
901. Soon, you'll be wanting to leave.
Copy !req
902. Why would I leave?
Copy !req
903. I like it here.
Copy !req
904. That's very kind of you,
Copy !req
905. but I'll bet it's not altogether true.
Copy !req
906. I have this gun.
Copy !req
907. Sometimes I think about using it.
Copy !req
908. I better go now.
Copy !req
909. I might put bullets in it.
Copy !req
910. There is a justice
higher than that of man.
Copy !req
911. I will be judged by Him.
Copy !req
912. What?
Copy !req
913. They're haulin' Misery into court.
Copy !req
914. That's nice.
Copy !req
915. There is a justice
higher than that of man.
Copy !req
916. I will be judged by Him.
Copy !req
917. Welcome to Love Connection.
Copy !req
918. See you in the morning.
Copy !req
919. I'm supposed to lead you
Copy !req
920. to the finale of my show right now,
Copy !req
921. but I'm having such a wonderful time...
Copy !req
922. Paul.
Copy !req
923. So, if you'd like me stay
Copy !req
924. and play some more for you, I'd love to.
Copy !req
925. Hmm?
Copy !req
926. I know you've been out.
Copy !req
927. What?
Copy !req
928. You've been out of your room.
Copy !req
929. No, I haven't.
Copy !req
930. Paul, my little ceramic
penguin in the study
Copy !req
931. always faces due south.
Copy !req
932. I don't know what you're talking about.
Copy !req
933. Ceramic penguin?
Copy !req
934. Is this what you're looking for?
Copy !req
935. I know you've been out twice, Paul.
Copy !req
936. At first I couldn't
figure out how you did it,
Copy !req
937. but last night I found your key.
Copy !req
938. I know I left my scrapbook out.
Copy !req
939. I can imagine what you
might be thinking of me.
Copy !req
940. But you see, Paul, it's all okay.
Copy !req
941. Last night it came so clear.
Copy !req
942. I realize you just need more time.
Copy !req
943. Eventually, you'll come to
accept the idea of being here.
Copy !req
944. Paul, do you know about the early days
Copy !req
945. at the Kimberley diamond mines?
Copy !req
946. Do you know what they
did to the native workers
Copy !req
947. who stole diamonds?
Copy !req
948. Don't worry.
Copy !req
949. They didn't kill them.
Copy !req
950. That would be like junking a Mercedes
Copy !req
951. just because it had a broken spring.
Copy !req
952. No, if they caught them
they had to make sure
Copy !req
953. they could go on working,
Copy !req
954. but they also had to make sure
they could never run away.
Copy !req
955. The operation was called hobbling.
Copy !req
956. Annie, whatever you're
thinking about doing,
Copy !req
957. please don't do it.
Copy !req
958. Annie, for God's...
Copy !req
959. Shh, darling.
Copy !req
960. Trust me.
Copy !req
961. God's sake!
Copy !req
962. It's for the best.
Copy !req
963. Annie, please!
Copy !req
964. Almost done.
Copy !req
965. Just one more.
Copy !req
966. God, I love you.
Copy !req
967. You cockadoodie!
Copy !req
968. Sit on this!
Copy !req
969. You poop!
Copy !req
970. Just leave it, all right?
Copy !req
971. Oh, I like that tone.
Copy !req
972. How many times do I have to tell you?
Copy !req
973. I have a system here.
Copy !req
974. Where the hell is that thing?
Copy !req
975. What thing?
Copy !req
976. The thing.
Copy !req
977. Here it is, right where
it's supposed to be.
Copy !req
978. What is it?
Copy !req
979. I'm not sure.
Copy !req
980. Maybe nothin'.
Copy !req
981. Well, I'm glad you found it.
Copy !req
982. There's that spice again.
Copy !req
983. Come on, Misie.
Copy !req
984. Come on.
Copy !req
985. Hi, pumpkin.
Copy !req
986. Such a kidder.
Copy !req
987. Come on, Misery.
Copy !req
988. Come on, Misie.
Copy !req
989. Hey, Pete.
Copy !req
990. Buster.
Copy !req
991. Answer me a couple things.
Copy !req
992. If I can.
Copy !req
993. Do you have any new Paul Sheldon books?
Copy !req
994. Well, we had a batch.
Copy !req
995. Sold 'em all out in three days.
Copy !req
996. You wouldn't happen
to know if Ms. Wilkes
Copy !req
997. bought one of them, would you?
Copy !req
998. Are you kiddin'?
Copy !req
999. Every time that fella writes a new book,
Copy !req
1000. she has me set aside the first copy.
Copy !req
1001. Has she been buyin' anything odd lately?
Copy !req
1002. Ms. Wilkes?
Copy !req
1003. Same old stuff.
Copy !req
1004. Lest you call paper odd.
Copy !req
1005. Newspaper?
Copy !req
1006. No.
Copy !req
1007. Typin' kind.
Copy !req
1008. Oh, that kind.
Copy !req
1009. Nothin' odd about that.
Copy !req
1010. Ms. Wilkes done somethin'?
Copy !req
1011. Not a thing.
Copy !req
1012. I don't think I'll ever understand you.
Copy !req
1013. I cook your meals,
Copy !req
1014. I tend to you practically 24 hours a day,
Copy !req
1015. and you continue to fight me.
Copy !req
1016. When are we going to
develop a sense of trust?
Copy !req
1017. Oh, my.
Copy !req
1018. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you,
Copy !req
1019. but you didn't give me a chance to knock.
Copy !req
1020. I guess you can tell from my reaction
Copy !req
1021. I'm not all that used
to visitors out here.
Copy !req
1022. What can I do for you?
Copy !req
1023. Well, I was wonderin'.
Copy !req
1024. Do you happen to know
anything about Paul Sheldon?
Copy !req
1025. What do you want to know?
Copy !req
1026. Well, anything you
could tell me might help.
Copy !req
1027. Well, he was born in
Worcester, Massachusetts
Copy !req
1028. 45 years ago, the only child
of Franklin and Helene Sheldon,
Copy !req
1029. mediocre student, majored in History...
Copy !req
1030. Well, that isn't exactly the
kind of information I'm after.
Copy !req
1031. You see, he's been missin'
for quite some time now...
Copy !req
1032. I know.
Copy !req
1033. It's so upsetting.
Copy !req
1034. I'm his number one fan.
Copy !req
1035. I've got all his books.
Copy !req
1036. Every sentence he ever put down.
Copy !req
1037. I'm so proud of my Paul
Sheldon collection.
Copy !req
1038. Well, here I am prattling on,
Copy !req
1039. and my manners have just flown away.
Copy !req
1040. I haven't invited you in.
Copy !req
1041. Please.
Copy !req
1042. Thank you.
Copy !req
1043. Of course, you must know all
about that horrible accident.
Copy !req
1044. Mind if I take a look around?
Copy !req
1045. Of course not.
Copy !req
1046. That accident almost killed me, too.
Copy !req
1047. I prayed when I heard the news.
Copy !req
1048. I got down on my knees and I
begged for it not to be true.
Copy !req
1049. You're gonna laugh at
what I'm about to say,
Copy !req
1050. but go ahead, I don't care.
Copy !req
1051. When I was praying, God
told me to get ready.
Copy !req
1052. Get ready for what?
Copy !req
1053. To be his replacement.
Copy !req
1054. He gave so much pleasure
to so many people,
Copy !req
1055. and there's a shortage of
pleasure on the planet these days,
Copy !req
1056. in case you hadn't noticed.
Copy !req
1057. God told me, since I
was his number one fan,
Copy !req
1058. that I should make up new
stories as if I was Paul Sheldon.
Copy !req
1059. So, I went to town and
I bought a typewriter
Copy !req
1060. and paper to type on.
Copy !req
1061. The same kind Paul Sheldon used.
Copy !req
1062. And I turned the guest
bedroom into a writing studio.
Copy !req
1063. Would you like to see it?
Copy !req
1064. Sure.
Copy !req
1065. It's right this way.
Copy !req
1066. I know how he wrote.
Copy !req
1067. The kinds of words he used,
the wonderful stories he told.
Copy !req
1068. I've spent the last four weeks
Copy !req
1069. trying to write like Paul
Sheldon, but I can't do it right.
Copy !req
1070. I try, and I try, and
I know all the words,
Copy !req
1071. but it's just not the same.
Copy !req
1072. Well, maybe it takes a
while to get the hang of it.
Copy !req
1073. I could give you a couple
of hundred pages of mine
Copy !req
1074. and you could tell me what you think.
Copy !req
1075. I'm not much of a critic.
Copy !req
1076. Well, I just thought.
Copy !req
1077. Oh, look at me.
Copy !req
1078. You'd think I'd never had a guest before.
Copy !req
1079. Would you like a nice hot cup of cocoa?
Copy !req
1080. No, really.
Copy !req
1081. I don't care.
Copy !req
1082. It's no trouble.
Copy !req
1083. There's some already made.
Copy !req
1084. Must get lonely, livin'
out here all by yourself.
Copy !req
1085. Well, I always say, if you
can't enjoy your own company,
Copy !req
1086. you're not fit company for anyone else.
Copy !req
1087. Well, you've got a point there.
Copy !req
1088. Here you are.
Copy !req
1089. Well, thanks, Ms. Wilkes,
Copy !req
1090. but I don't want to take
up any more of your time.
Copy !req
1091. I'd best be goin'.
Copy !req
1092. But, you didn't even taste your cocoa.
Copy !req
1093. I'm sure it's wonderful,
Copy !req
1094. but I really should be gettin' back.
Copy !req
1095. Well, if you wouldn't mind,
Copy !req
1096. perhaps I could pay you
another visit sometime.
Copy !req
1097. I'd be delighted, now
that you know the way.
Copy !req
1098. Ms. Wilkes?
Copy !req
1099. Ms. Wilkes, are you all right?
Copy !req
1100. Here!
Copy !req
1101. Here!
Copy !req
1102. I'm down here!
Copy !req
1103. Down here!
Copy !req
1104. Mr. Sheldon?
Copy !req
1105. Don't feel bad, Paul.
Copy !req
1106. It was bound to happen sooner or later.
Copy !req
1107. It's a sign.
Copy !req
1108. You see, I've known for some time
Copy !req
1109. why I was chosen to save you.
Copy !req
1110. You and I were meant
to be together forever.
Copy !req
1111. But, now our time in this world must end.
Copy !req
1112. But, don't worry, Paul.
Copy !req
1113. I've prepared for what must be done.
Copy !req
1114. I put two bullets in my gun,
one for you and one for me.
Copy !req
1115. Oh, darling.
Copy !req
1116. It'll be so beautiful.
Copy !req
1117. Now, don't be afraid.
Copy !req
1118. I love you.
Copy !req
1119. I love you, too.
Copy !req
1120. And you're right.
Copy !req
1121. We are meant to be together.
Copy !req
1122. And I know we must die.
Copy !req
1123. But, it must be so that Misery can live.
Copy !req
1124. We have the power to
give Misery eternal life.
Copy !req
1125. We must finish the book.
Copy !req
1126. But, the time is now.
Copy !req
1127. Soon, others will come.
Copy !req
1128. It's almost finished.
Copy !req
1129. By dawn, we'll be able to give Misery
Copy !req
1130. back to the world.
Copy !req
1131. I'll fix you something to eat.
Copy !req
1132. Oh, Paul.
Copy !req
1133. I'm dying.
Copy !req
1134. Does she wind up with Ian or Windthorne?
Copy !req
1135. You'll know very soon.
Copy !req
1136. I've just started the last chapter.
Copy !req
1137. You know, when I finish,
Copy !req
1138. I'd like everything to be perfect.
Copy !req
1139. I'll need three things.
Copy !req
1140. What things?
Copy !req
1141. You mean you don't know?
Copy !req
1142. I was foolin', silly.
Copy !req
1143. You need a cigarette
because you used to smoke,
Copy !req
1144. but you quit, except
when you finish a book,
Copy !req
1145. and you have just one.
Copy !req
1146. And the match is to light it.
Copy !req
1147. And you need one glass of
champagne, Dom Perignon.
Copy !req
1148. Dom Perignon it is.
Copy !req
1149. Annie?
Copy !req
1150. Annie?
Copy !req
1151. Yes, Paul?
Copy !req
1152. I'm almost done.
Copy !req
1153. Oh, Paul.
Copy !req
1154. This is so romantic.
Copy !req
1155. Ian and Windthorne dueling for
the right to Misery's hand.
Copy !req
1156. Does Ian win?
Copy !req
1157. Oh, don't tell me.
Copy !req
1158. It's Windthorne, right?
Copy !req
1159. You'll know everything in a minute.
Copy !req
1160. Get the champagne.
Copy !req
1161. Oh, oh.
Copy !req
1162. Did I do good?
Copy !req
1163. You did perfect.
Copy !req
1164. Except for one thing.
Copy !req
1165. This time we'll need two glasses.
Copy !req
1166. Oh, Paul.
Copy !req
1167. Remember how, for all those years,
Copy !req
1168. nobody knew who Misery's real father was?
Copy !req
1169. Or if they'd ever be reunited?
Copy !req
1170. It's all right here.
Copy !req
1171. Does she finally marry Ian,
or will it be Windthorne?
Copy !req
1172. It's all right here.
Copy !req
1173. Paul, you can't!
Copy !req
1174. Why not?
Copy !req
1175. I learned it from you.
Copy !req
1176. No, no, no!
Copy !req
1177. Not Misery!
Copy !req
1178. Not my Misery!
Copy !req
1179. No!
Copy !req
1180. Not my Misery!
Copy !req
1181. I'm gonna kill you, you lying cocksucker!
Copy !req
1182. Here.
Copy !req
1183. Here, you want it?
Copy !req
1184. You want it?
Copy !req
1185. Eat it!
Copy !req
1186. Eat it till you choke,
you sick, twisted fuck!
Copy !req
1187. Good choice.
Copy !req
1188. It really was.
Copy !req
1189. This is it.
Copy !req
1190. The very first copy.
Copy !req
1191. The word I'm getting is the Times review
Copy !req
1192. is gonna be a love letter.
Copy !req
1193. That'll be a first.
Copy !req
1194. And my contacts at Time and Newsweek
Copy !req
1195. tell me they're both raves.
Copy !req
1196. And don't laugh, but for the first time
Copy !req
1197. I think you've got a shot at some prizes.
Copy !req
1198. Great.
Copy !req
1199. I thought you'd be thrilled.
Copy !req
1200. You're being taken seriously.
Copy !req
1201. I'm delighted the critics are liking it
Copy !req
1202. and I hope the people like it, too.
Copy !req
1203. But, I wrote it for me.
Copy !req
1204. Now, don't think I'm completely nuts,
Copy !req
1205. but in some way,
Copy !req
1206. Annie Wilkes, that whole experience,
Copy !req
1207. helped me.
Copy !req
1208. Paul, since you brought her
up, I have to ask you this
Copy !req
1209. or I'll be drummed out
of the agents' union.
Copy !req
1210. How would you feel
about a non-fiction book
Copy !req
1211. about what went on in that house?
Copy !req
1212. Gee, Marcia.
Copy !req
1213. If I didn't know you better,
Copy !req
1214. I'd think you were suggesting I dredge up
Copy !req
1215. the worst horror of my life
just so we can make a few bucks.
Copy !req
1216. I thought you were over it.
Copy !req
1217. I don't know if anyone
could ever totally
Copy !req
1218. get over something like that.

Copy !req
1221. I still think about her once in a while.
Copy !req
1222. Excuse me.
Copy !req
1223. I don't mean to bother you,
but are you Paul Sheldon?
Copy !req
1224. Yes.
Copy !req
1225. I just want to tell you
I'm your number one fan.
Copy !req
1226. That's very sweet of you.
