1. In my younger
and more vulnerable years...Copy !req
2. my father gave me some advice.Copy !req
3. "Always try to see the best in people,"
he would say.Copy !req
4. As a consequence,
I'm inclined to reserve all judgments.Copy !req
5. But even I have a limit.Copy !req
6. Back then, all of us drank too much.Copy !req
7. The more in tune with the times we were...Copy !req
8. the more we drank.Copy !req
9. And none of us contributed anything new.Copy !req
10. When I came back from New York,
I was disgusted.Copy !req
11. I see, Mr. Carraway.Copy !req
12. Disgusted with everyone and everything.Copy !req
13. Only one man was exempt from my disgust.Copy !req
14. One man?Copy !req
15. Mr. Carraway?Copy !req
16. Gatsby.Copy !req
17. Was he a friend of yours?Copy !req
18. He was...Copy !req
19. the single most hopeful person
I've ever met.Copy !req
20. And am ever likely to meet again.Copy !req
21. There was something...Copy !req
22. about him, a sensitivity.Copy !req
23. He was like...Copy !req
24. He was like one of those machines
that register earthquakes 10,000 miles away.Copy !req
25. Where'd you meet him?Copy !req
26. At a... At a party...Copy !req
27. in New York.Copy !req
28. In the summer of 1922...Copy !req
29. the tempo of the city approached...Copy !req
30. . . . hysteria.Copy !req
31. Stocks reached...Copy !req
32. record peaks...Copy !req
33. and Wall Street boomed...Copy !req
34. in a steady...Copy !req
35. golden roar.Copy !req
36. The parties were bigger.Copy !req
37. The shows...Copy !req
38. were broader.Copy !req
39. The buildings were higher.Copy !req
40. The morals were looser and the ban...Copy !req
41. on alcohol had backfired...Copy !req
42. making the liquor cheaper.Copy !req
43. Wall Street was luring
the young and ambitious.Copy !req
44. And I was one of them.Copy !req
45. I rented a house 20 miles
from the city on Long Island.Copy !req
46. I lived at West Egg...Copy !req
47. in a forgotten groundskeeper's cottage,
squeezed among the mansions...Copy !req
48. of the newly rich.Copy !req
49. To get started, I bought a dozen volumes
on credit, banking and investments.Copy !req
50. All new to me.Copy !req
51. The stock market...Copy !req
52. hit another high.
The market's moving up, up, up!Copy !req
53. Well, of course, nothing is 100 percent.
I wouldn't go investing every penny.Copy !req
54. At Yale I dreamed of being a writer...Copy !req
55. but I gave all that up.Copy !req
56. With the sun shining...Copy !req
57. and the bursts of leaves on the trees...Copy !req
58. I planned to spend...Copy !req
59. the summer studying.Copy !req
60. And I probably would have...Copy !req
61. were it not...Copy !req
62. for the riotous...Copy !req
63. amusements that beckoned...Copy !req
64. from beyond...Copy !req
65. the walls of that...Copy !req
66. colossal castle...Copy !req
67. owned by a gentleman I had...Copy !req
68. not yet met...Copy !req
69. named Gatsby.Copy !req
70. DOCTOR'.
So...Copy !req
71. he was your neighbor.Copy !req
72. My neighbor.Copy !req
73. Yeah.Copy !req
74. When I think about it,
the history of the summer really began...Copy !req
75. the night I drove over
to my cousin Daisy's for dinner.Copy !req
76. She lived across the bay in old moneyed...Copy !req
77. , East E99-Copy !req
78. Her husband was heir to
one of America's wealthiest families.Copy !req
79. His name...Copy !req
80. was Tom...Copy !req
81. Buchanan.Copy !req
82. When we were...Copy !req
83. at Yale together, he'd been...Copy !req
84. a sporting star. But now his glory days
were behind him and he...Copy !req
85. - ... contented himself with. ..
- Telephone, Monsieur Buchanan.Copy !req
86. It's me.
other affairs.Copy !req
87. I thought I told you not to call me here.Copy !req
88. Boaz!Copy !req
89. Shakespeare!Copy !req
90. - Tom! Oh!
- Ha-ha-ha!Copy !req
91. - How's the great American novel coming?
- I'm selling bonds with Walter Chase's outfit.Copy !req
92. Let's say after dinner,
you and I, we go into town.Copy !req
93. - I can't.
- Catch up with the old wolf pack.Copy !req
94. - Big day on the job tomorrow.
- Nonsense! We're going.Copy !req
95. First team, all-American.Copy !req
96. You see?Copy !req
97. Made me who I am today.Copy !req
98. Forest Hills.Copy !req
99. Played the Prince of Wales.
What a sissy.Copy !req
100. Life is...Copy !req
101. something you dominate.Copy !req
102. If you're any good.Copy !req
103. Oh!Copy !req
104. Oh.Copy !req
105. Hey.Copy !req
106. Henri!Copy !req
107. Where are you?Copy !req
108. The doors.Copy !req
109. Close them.Copy !req
110. Sorry. Thank you.Copy !req
111. Is that you, my lovely?Copy !req
112. Daisy Buchanan, the golden girl.Copy !req
113. A breathless...Copy !req
114. warmth flowed from her.Copy !req
115. A promise that there was no one else...Copy !req
116. in the world she...Copy !req
117. so wanted to see.Copy !req
118. Do they miss me in Chicago?Copy !req
119. Yes. Um, at least a dozen people
send their love.Copy !req
120. How gorgeous.Copy !req
121. They're absolutely in mourning.Copy !req
122. - They're crying. Yes.
No.Copy !req
123. - I don't believe you.
Wailing.Copy !req
124. I don't believe you.
- They're screaming.Copy !req
125. "Daisy Buchanan...Copy !req
126. we can't live...Copy !req
127. - ... without you!"
- I'm paralyzed with happiness.Copy !req
128. Whoa!Copy !req
129. Whoa! Oh!Copy !req
130. Jordan Baker...Copy !req
131. a very...Copy !req
132. famous golfer.Copy !req
133. Oh.Copy !req
134. She was the most frightening person
I'd ever seen.Copy !req
135. Well, I've seen your face on the cover
of Sporting Life.Copy !req
136. Nick Carraway.Copy !req
137. But I enjoyed looking at her.Copy !req
138. I've been lying on that sofa...Copy !req
139. for as long as I can remember.Copy !req
140. This summer I'll fling you two together.
I'll push you into linen closets...Copy !req
141. and out to sea in boats!Copy !req
142. - I'm not listening to a word.
- So, Nick...Copy !req
143. Daisy tells me...Copy !req
144. that you're over in West Egg...Copy !req
145. throwing your lot in...Copy !req
146. with those social-climbing...Copy !req
147. primitive new-money types.Copy !req
148. My little shack's just a cardboard box
at 80 a month.Copy !req
149. Your life is adorable.Copy !req
150. I know somebody in West Egg.Copy !req
151. I don't know a single person...Copy !req
152. that side of the bay.Copy !req
153. You must know Gatsby.Copy !req
154. Gatsby?Copy !req
155. What Gatsby?Copy !req
156. Madame, the dinner is servi.Copy !req
157. Would you like to hear...Copy !req
158. a family secret?Copy !req
159. - That's why I came over.
It's about the butler's nose.Copy !req
160. Things went from bad to worse.Copy !req
161. I hate that word "hulking."Copy !req
162. I heard a rumor
that you were getting married...Copy !req
163. to a girl out West.
It's a libel.Copy !req
164. - I'm too poor.
They have to be old...Copy !req
165. so they die quickly.Copy !req
166. Can't we talk about something else?Copy !req
167. Anything. Crops.Copy !req
168. You're making me feel uncivilized...Copy !req
169. Daisy.Copy !req
170. Civilization's going to pieces.Copy !req
171. Have you read
The Rise of the Colored Empires...Copy !req
172. by this fellow Goddard?
Everybody ought to...Copy !req
173. read it. The idea is...Copy !req
174. that it's up to us, the dominant race...Copy !req
175. to watch out or these...Copy !req
176. other races...Copy !req
177. will have control of things.Copy !req
178. Tom's very profound lately. He reads
deep books with long words in them.Copy !req
179. It's been proved.Copy !req
180. It's scientific.Copy !req
181. We've got to beat them down.Copy !req
182. Buchanan residence.Copy !req
183. Monsieur Wilson, from the garage.Copy !req
184. Monsieur Buchanan.Copy !req
185. Excuse me, I'll be right back.Copy !req
186. I'm sorry.Copy !req
187. - Well, this Mr. Gatsby you spoke of...
I'm working on it.Copy !req
188. he's my neighbor.
- Shh! Don't talk.Copy !req
189. I wanna hear what happens.Copy !req
190. I don't care what you do...Copy !req
191. Something happening?Copy !req
192. - Why, I thought everybody knew.
- Well, I don't.Copy !req
193. Tom's got some...Copy !req
194. woman in New York.
Got some woman?Copy !req
195. She might have the decency not to telephone
at dinnertime. Don't you think?Copy !req
196. Is that too much to ask?
Daisy, don't create a scene.Copy !req
197. I love seeing you at my table.Copy !req
198. You remind me of a rose.
An absolute rose...Copy !req
199. doesn't he?
So after dinner...Copy !req
200. I'm not like a rose.Copy !req
201. Nick wanted to go into town.Copy !req
202. To the Yale Club.Copy !req
203. Nicky, stay.Copy !req
204. I have to work early.Copy !req
205. Nonsense.Copy !req
206. There's so much to talk about.
It's just...Copy !req
207. for a drink or two.Copy !req
208. None of us...Copy !req
209. could ignore that fifth guest's shrill...Copy !req
210. metallic urgency.Copy !req
211. Nicky.
What?Copy !req
212. It's just, well, you see,
I think everything's terrible anyhow.Copy !req
213. - Really?
- Yes.Copy !req
214. I've been everywhere and seen
everything and done everything.Copy !req
215. I've had a very bad time, Nicky.Copy !req
216. I'm pretty cynical about everything.Copy !req
217. Your daughter, I suppose she...Copy !req
218. talks and eats and everything?Copy !req
219. Pammy?Copy !req
220. Oh, yes.Copy !req
221. Listen, Nick, when she was born...Copy !req
222. Tom was God knows where...Copy !req
223. with God knows whom.Copy !req
224. And I asked...Copy !req
225. the nurse if it was a boy or a girl.Copy !req
226. And she said it was a girl...Copy !req
227. and I wept:Copy !req
228. "I'm glad it's a girl.Copy !req
229. And I hope she'll be a fool.Copy !req
230. That's the best thing
a girl in this world can be.Copy !req
231. A beautiful little fool."Copy !req
232. All the bright, precious things fade so fast.Copy !req
233. And they don't come back.Copy !req
234. When I arrived home...Copy !req
235. I noticed that a figure...Copy !req
236. had emerged on my neighbor's dock.Copy !req
237. And something told me it was...Copy !req
238. Mr. Gatsby.Copy !req
239. He seemed to be reaching toward...Copy !req
240. something out there in the dark.Copy !req
241. The green light.Copy !req
242. I don't wanna talk about this, doctor.Copy !req
243. Then write about it.Copy !req
244. - Write about it?
- Yes.Copy !req
245. Why would I do that?Copy !req
246. You said yourself writing...Copy !req
247. brought you solace.Copy !req
248. Yeah, well, it didn't bring
anyone else much solace.Copy !req
249. I wasn't any good.Copy !req
250. No one need ever read it.Copy !req
251. You could always burn it.Copy !req
252. What would I write about?Copy !req
253. Anything-Copy !req
254. Whatever brings you ease:Copy !req
255. a memory...Copy !req
256. a thought, a place.Copy !req
257. Write it down.Copy !req
258. A place.Copy !req
259. The Valley of Ashes was a grotesque place.Copy !req
260. New York's dumping ground
halfway between West Egg and the city...Copy !req
261. where the burnt-out coal that powered...Copy !req
262. the booming golden city...Copy !req
263. was discarded by men who...Copy !req
264. moved dimly and already...Copy !req
265. crumbling through the powdery air.Copy !req
266. This fantastic farm...Copy !req
267. was ever watched by Dr. T.J. Eckleburg...Copy !req
268. a forgotten oculist
whose eyes brooded over it all...Copy !req
269. like the eyes...Copy !req
270. of God.Copy !req
271. Tom had invited me to town,
apparently for lunch at the Yale Club...Copy !req
272. but...Copy !req
273. the day took...Copy !req
274. an unexpected...Copy !req
275. turn.Copy !req
276. Come on.Copy !req
277. - Come on!
- What do you mean?Copy !req
278. Trust me!Copy !req
279. What are we doing?
Where are you going?Copy !req
280. Jump!Copy !req
281. - What are you doing?
Jump, come on!Copy !req
282. - Tom!
Come on!Copy !req
283. Oh, God.Copy !req
284. Tom, wait. Wait a second, would you?Copy !req
285. Dominate, Nick!Copy !req
286. Dominate!Copy !req
287. Hello, Wilson.Copy !req
288. How's business?Copy !req
289. Yeah, I can't complain.Copy !req
290. Uh...Copy !req
291. So when are you gonna...Copy !req
292. - ... sell me that car?
- Oh, I've still got my man working on it.Copy !req
293. Yeah, well, he works pretty slow, don't he?Copy !req
294. Maybe I'd better sell it somewhere else.Copy !req
295. Oh, no, no, no.Copy !req
296. I wasn't saying that. I was—Copy !req
297. If it's business, you should be talking...Copy !req
298. to me.Copy !req
299. Get some chairs...Copy !req
300. why don't you,
so somebody can sit down.Copy !req
301. Uh, sure.Copy !req
302. Yeah, let's talk business.Copy !req
303. Sure.Copy !req
304. I'll get the chairs.Copy !req
305. Myrtle...Copy !req
306. why don't you entertain?
Hurry up.Copy !req
307. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
308. Mr. Buchanan.Copy !req
309. Candy?Copy !req
310. - No, thank you.
No?Copy !req
311. Mrs. Wilson, Nick Carraway.Copy !req
312. Oh.Copy !req
313. A pleasure.Copy !req
314. Nick's a writer.Copy !req
315. Oh.Copy !req
316. I'm in bonds actually.Copy !req
317. I want you...Copy !req
318. get on the next train.Copy !req
319. Now?Copy !req
320. Yes.Copy !req
321. Can we get the dog?Copy !req
322. - For the apartment?
- Whatever you want.Copy !req
323. Hey, Mr. Buchanan!Copy !req
324. You want a soda?Copy !req
325. - I'm fine.
No?Copy !req
326. Call your sister. She'll like him.Copy !req
327. No, no, no. That's all right, thank you.Copy !req
328. Catherine's said to be very good-looking
by people who know.Copy !req
329. Oh, really, I can't.Copy !req
330. Hey-Copy !req
331. You wanna embarrass Myrtle?Copy !req
332. That's rude.Copy !req
333. I'm Catherine.Copy !req
334. Ain't we having a party?Copy !req
335. Um, I'm not sure...Copy !req
336. now's a good time.Copy !req
337. I'm just going. Actually, there are peop—Copy !req
338. Hello!Copy !req
339. Oh, Chester, this must be the cousin.Copy !req
340. - Oh, you are adorable.
- Oh, thank you.Copy !req
341. Chester McKee. Pleasure to meet you.Copy !req
342. Nick Carraway.
Come on...Copy !req
343. - ... don't you like me?
- Oh. Heh. A plant.Copy !req
344. Myrtle!Copy !req
345. Myrtle!Copy !req
346. Myrtle turtle!Copy !req
347. I really must go.Copy !req
348. Get everybody a drink
before they fall asleep.Copy !req
349. Torn, I'm just leaving now.Copy !req
350. Nick.Copy !req
351. Wait.Copy !req
352. - I'm going. I've gotta get out of here.
- Nonsense!Copy !req
353. Go on in there and talk to Catherine.Copy !req
354. I'm not comfortable. Daisy's my cousin.Copy !req
355. Listen, I know you like to watch.
I remember that from college.Copy !req
356. No, no, no, I don't make any judgment.Copy !req
357. We have all summer.Copy !req
358. Now, do you wanna sit on the sideline
and watch, or do you wanna play ball?Copy !req
359. Play ball.Copy !req
360. - Ain't we good enough for you?
Come on!Copy !req
361. Come on! Come on.Copy !req
362. He's gonna sit on the side and watch, huh?Copy !req
363. Or is he gonna play ball?Copy !req
364. Take off your hat and stay a while.Copy !req
365. Oh, hey, Nick. McKee...Copy !req
366. - ... is in the artistic game.
- Photography.Copy !req
367. Nick's artistic.
- No.Copy !req
368. - No, no, no.
- Really?Copy !req
369. - I write a little, but...
Really?Copy !req
370. Do you live on Long Island too?Copy !req
371. - I live at West Egg.
- I was there at a party...Copy !req
372. about a month ago. A man named Gatsbys.
Do you know him?Copy !req
373. I live right next door to him.Copy !req
374. He's a cousin of Kaiser Wilhelm's.Copy !req
375. - You know, the evil German king?
- Really?Copy !req
376. Hey, McKee!Copy !req
377. - Take a picture of that.
Ah!Copy !req
378. Don't, I'm not one of those models.Copy !req
379. You can if you want.Copy !req
380. Neither of them can stand
the person they're married to.Copy !req
381. Doesn't she like Wilson either?Copy !req
382. He's a greasy...Copy !req
383. little scumbag.Copy !req
384. No, thanks, I feel just as good
on nothing at all.Copy !req
385. Nerve pills.Copy !req
386. I get them from a doctor in Queens.Copy !req
387. Do you want one?Copy !req
388. Oh, no. My nerves are fine, thanks.Copy !req
389. I had been drunk just twice in my life.Copy !req
390. And the second time was that afternoon.Copy !req
391. That night, in the hidden...Copy !req
392. flat that Torn kept for Myrtle...Copy !req
393. we were buoyed by a sort of...Copy !req
394. chemical madness.Copy !req
395. A willingness...Copy !req
396. of the heart that burst...Copy !req
397. thunderously upon us all.Copy !req
398. And suddenly, I began...Copy !req
399. to like New York.Copy !req
400. This is better than the Yale Club.Copy !req
401. High...Copy !req
402. over the city...Copy !req
403. our yellow...Copy !req
404. windows must have
contributed their share...Copy !req
405. of human secrets...Copy !req
406. to the casual...Copy !req
407. watcher in the street.Copy !req
408. And I was him...Copy !req
409. too...Copy !req
410. looking up and wondering.Copy !req
411. I was within...Copy !req
412. and without.Copy !req
413. Enchanted and repelled...Copy !req
414. by the inexhaustible variety of life.Copy !req
415. You have got no right...Copy !req
416. to speak her name.Copy !req
417. Daisy, Daisy, Daisy!Copy !req
418. - You got no right to speak her name!
- I'll speak her name whenever—Copy !req
419. - Oh, my God, you are crazy!
You whore!Copy !req
420. They're gonna arrest you!Copy !req
421. I have no clue how I got home...Copy !req
422. but I do know that I...Copy !req
423. awoke with a distinctly...Copy !req
424. uneasy feeling...Copy !req
425. that Gatsby was watching me.Copy !req
426. Watching you?Copy !req
427. Yes.Copy !req
428. Gatsby...Copy !req
429. was always watching me.Copy !req
430. And how did you know that?Copy !req
431. I got an invitation.Copy !req
432. I was...Copy !req
433. the only one.Copy !req
434. By which I mean no one except me...Copy !req
435. ever received an actual invitation
to Gatsby's.Copy !req
436. You see, the rest of New York...Copy !req
437. simply came uninvited.Copy !req
438. The whole city packed into automobiles.Copy !req
439. And all weekend, every weekend...Copy !req
440. ended up at Gatsby's.Copy !req
441. Yeah!Copy !req
442. And I mean everyone...Copy !req
443. from every walk of life...Copy !req
444. from every corner...Copy !req
445. of New York City...Copy !req
446. this kaleidoscopic. ..Copy !req
447. carnival...Copy !req
448. spilled...Copy !req
449. - ... through Gatsby's door.
Out of the way!Copy !req
450. My invitation. Oh.Copy !req
451. Sir, my invitation.Copy !req
452. This Way!Copy !req
453. Hey!Copy !req
454. A caravanserai...Copy !req
455. of billionaire playboy publishers
and their blond nurses.Copy !req
456. Heiresses comparing inheritances
on Gatsby's beach.Copy !req
457. My boss, Walter Chase,
losing money at the roulette tables.Copy !req
458. Gossip columnists alongside...Copy !req
459. gangsters and governors
exchanging telephone numbers.Copy !req
460. Film stars...Copy !req
461. Broadway directors...Copy !req
462. morality protectors...Copy !req
463. high school defectors.Copy !req
464. And Ewing Klipspringer,
dubious descendent of Beethoven.Copy !req
465. Do you know where I might find
the host, Mr. Gatsby? I live next door.Copy !req
466. Gatsby?Copy !req
467. I've never seen Mr. Gatsby.Copy !req
468. Why, no one has.Copy !req
469. Alone...Copy !req
470. and embarrassed...Copy !req
471. I decided...Copy !req
472. to get roaring...Copy !req
473. drunk.Copy !req
474. Wow.Copy !req
475. I thought I might see you here.Copy !req
476. - Hello.
- I remembered...Copy !req
477. you live next door.Copy !req
478. It's like an amusement park.Copy !req
479. Shall we?Copy !req
480. Did you get an invitation?
- People aren't...Copy !req
481. invited to Gatsby's.Copy !req
482. Well, I was.Copy !req
483. Seems I'm the only one.Copy !req
484. Who is this Gatsby?Copy !req
485. - He was a German spy during the war.
Teddy Barton...Copy !req
486. Nick Carraway.Copy !req
487. A German spy?Copy !req
488. No, no, no. He's the Kaiser's assassin.Copy !req
489. I heard he killed a man once.Copy !req
490. True.
Kills for fun, free of charge.Copy !req
491. He's certainly richer than God.Copy !req
492. You don't really believe
he killed a man, do you?Copy !req
493. Let's go find him
and you can ask him yourself.Copy !req
494. Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome to the stage...Copy !req
495. the incredible...Copy !req
496. Miss Gilda Gray!Copy !req
497. The Charleston!Copy !req
498. At least I missCopy !req
499. Trips around the worldCopy !req
500. Don't mean a thingCopy !req
501. If I ain't your girlCopy !req
502. I ain't got timeCopy !req
503. For you babyCopy !req
504. Either you're mine
Or you're notCopy !req
505. Mr. Gatsby?Copy !req
506. Sweet babyCopy !req
507. Come on.Copy !req
508. Right here, right nowCopy !req
509. But you are mistaken!Copy !req
510. For I am...Copy !req
511. the mysterious...Copy !req
512. Mr. Gatsby.Copy !req
513. You won't find him.Copy !req
514. This house...Copy !req
515. and everything in it...Copy !req
516. are all part...Copy !req
517. of an elaborate disguise.Copy !req
518. But Mr. Gatsby doesn't exist.Copy !req
519. Phooey. I've met him.Copy !req
520. Really? Which one?Copy !req
521. The prince?Copy !req
522. The spy?Copy !req
523. The murderer?Copy !req
524. I cannot find anyone...Copy !req
525. who knows anything real about...Copy !req
526. Mr. Gatsby.Copy !req
527. Well, I don't care.Copy !req
528. He gives large parties...Copy !req
529. and I like large parties.Copy !req
530. They're so intimate.Copy !req
531. Small parties, there isn't any privacy.Copy !req
532. But if that's true...Copy !req
533. what's all this for?Copy !req
534. That, my dear fellow...Copy !req
535. is the question.Copy !req
536. A little party neverCopy !req
537. Killed nobodyCopy !req
538. So we gonna danceCopy !req
539. Until we dropCopy !req
540. A little party never killedCopy !req

543. A little partyCopy !req
544. Never killed nobodyCopy !req

546. You penniless pantywaist.Copy !req
547. A little party never killedCopy !req
548. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
549. NobodyCopy !req
550. I'm stealing...Copy !req
551. her away.Copy !req
552. Ladies and gentlemen...
Come on.Copy !req
553. a jazz history of the world...Copy !req
554. and accompanying...Copy !req
555. fireworks!Copy !req
556. Come on. Nick.
Look around you.Copy !req
557. Rich girls don't marry poor boys.Copy !req
558. She's mine.Copy !req
559. Your face is familiar.Copy !req
560. Weren't you in the Third Division
during the war?Copy !req
561. Oh, yes, the 9th Battalion.
I was in the 7th.Copy !req
562. I knew you looked familiar.
Having a good time, old sport?Copy !req
563. The whole thing's incredible.Copy !req
564. I live just next door.Copy !req
565. He sent me an actual invitation.
Seems I'm the only one.Copy !req
566. I still haven't met Mr. Gatsby.Copy !req
567. No one's met him.Copy !req
568. They say he's third cousin to the Kaiser
and second cousin to the devil.Copy !req
569. I'm afraid I haven't been
a very good host...Copy !req
570. old sport.Copy !req
571. You see...Copy !req
572. I'm Gatsby.Copy !req
573. You're...Copy !req
574. His smile was one of those...Copy !req
575. rare smiles that you may come across...Copy !req
576. four or five times in life.Copy !req
577. It seemed to understand...Copy !req
578. you and believe in you
just as you would like to be understood...Copy !req
579. and believed in.Copy !req
580. Sorry, old sport. I thought you knew.Copy !req
581. Please just— I don't know what to say.Copy !req
582. - Please forgive me. I've had...
- it's quite all right.Copy !req
583. - ... so much to drink.
- Yes?Copy !req
584. Mr. Gatsby, sir.Copy !req
585. Chicago on the wire.Copy !req
586. I'll be in in just a minute.Copy !req
587. I'm taking my new hydroplane out
in the morning.Copy !req
588. Would you like to go with me?Copy !req
589. What time?Copy !req
590. The time that suits you.Copy !req
591. Well, that's very kind of you.Copy !req
592. Lovely to see you again, Miss Baker.Copy !req
593. If there's...Copy !req
594. anything that you want...Copy !req
595. just ask for it, old sport.Copy !req
596. Excuse me. I will...Copy !req
597. rejoin you later.Copy !req
598. I expected him to be...Copy !req
599. Old and fat?
Yes.Copy !req
600. Young men don't just drift coolly
out of nowhere...Copy !req
601. and buy a palace on Long Island.Copy !req
602. He told me once...Copy !req
603. he was an Oxford man.Copy !req
604. However, I don't believe it.Copy !req
605. Why not?Copy !req
606. I don't know.
I just don't believe he went there.Copy !req
607. I beg your pardon.Copy !req
608. Miss Baker,
Mr. Gatsby would like to speak to you.Copy !req
609. Alone.Copy !req
610. Me?Copy !req
611. Yes, madam.Copy !req
612. Nick!Copy !req
613. Nick!Copy !req
614. Nick!Copy !req
615. I've just heard the most shocking thing.Copy !req
616. Where have you been? The car's waiting.Copy !req
617. Simply amazing. It all makes sense.Copy !req
618. It all makes sense.Copy !req
619. Come on.Copy !req
620. - What makes sense?
Everything!Copy !req
621. Come on, this is crazy! We gotta...Copy !req
622. get out of here.
Here I am tantalizing you...Copy !req
623. when I swore I wouldn't tell.Copy !req
624. Just tell me.Copy !req
625. Oh, Nick, I'm sorry, I swore.Copy !req
626. I swore I wouldn't tell.Copy !req
627. Sorry to keep her from you, old sport.Copy !req
628. - Ah.
- Don't forget...Copy !req
629. we're going up
in that hydroplane tomorrow.Copy !req
630. Yes.Copy !req
631. Mr. Gatsby, sir...Copy !req
632. - ... Philadelphia on the phone.
- Yes.Copy !req
633. Night, old sport.Copy !req
634. Good night.Copy !req
635. Thank you.Copy !req
636. What's the matter?Copy !req
637. You run out of gas?Copy !req
638. Nick! Come and see me!Copy !req
639. We'll have tea next week.Copy !req
640. I'm in the phone book.Copy !req
641. I'll call you up.Copy !req
642. Well, we rode in the hydroplane.Copy !req
643. And I attended...Copy !req
644. two more of his parties.Copy !req
645. Even made use of his beach.Copy !req
646. But you know, doctor, I realized...Copy !req
647. that I knew absolutely nothing
about Gatsby at all.Copy !req
648. Until. ...Copy !req
649. It's pretty, isn't it, old sport?
Haven't you ever seen it before?Copy !req
650. It's all a custom job.Copy !req
651. Supercharged engine.Copy !req
652. Get dressed.Copy !req
653. We're going to lunch.Copy !req
654. - Oh, well.
- Yeah.Copy !req
655. Look here, old sport.Copy !req
656. What is your opinion of me, anyhow?Copy !req
657. 'Yes! 'Copy !req
658. Yes, your opinion.Copy !req
659. I don't want you
to get the wrong impression...Copy !req
660. from all these bizarre accusations
you must be hearing.Copy !req
661. A pack of lies, I guarantee.
You've heard the stories?Copy !req
662. Oh.Copy !req
663. I will tell you God's truth.
God's truth about myself.Copy !req
664. I am the son of very wealthy people
from the Middle West.Copy !req
665. Sadly, all of them are dead.Copy !req
666. I was brought up in America...Copy !req
667. but educated at Oxford...Copy !req
668. because all my ancestors...Copy !req
669. have been educated there for years.
It's a family tradition.Copy !req
670. The way he spoke.Copy !req
671. No wonder people thought he was lying.Copy !req
672. After my family died,
I ran into a great deal of money.Copy !req
673. After that, I lived like a prince...Copy !req
674. in all the capitals of Europe.Copy !req
675. Oh, Europe.Copy !req
676. Yes, Europe.Copy !req
677. Paris, Venice...Copy !req
678. Rome, Vienna...Copy !req
679. Zurich, Helsinki...Copy !req
680. Moscow, Istanbul...Copy !req
681. collecting jewels...Copy !req
682. chiefly rubies...Copy !req
683. hunting big game...Copy !req
684. painting a little, things for myself only.
Trying to forget something sad...Copy !req
685. Just when I thought...Copy !req
686. it couldn't be any more fantastical...Copy !req
687. - Then came the war, old sport.
- ... he became...Copy !req
688. a war hero, single-handedly
defeating the German army.Copy !req
689. In the Argonne Forest,
I took two machine gun detachments so far...Copy !req
690. We were outnumbered 5 to 1.Copy !req
691. There was a half a mile gap...Copy !req
692. There wasn't a single German soldier
left standing.Copy !req
693. We stayed there two days and two nights.Copy !req
694. —Saw were piles of dead.Copy !req
695. One hundred and thirty men
with only 16 Lewis guns.Copy !req
696. Every Allied government gave me a medal.Copy !req
697. Even Montenegro.Copy !req
698. Here.Copy !req
699. That's from Montenegro.Copy !req
700. "Major Jay Gatsby for...Copy !req
701. - ... valor extraordinary."
- Valor extraordinary. That's right.Copy !req
702. And this is something I always carry
with me, a souvenir of Oxford days.Copy !req
703. That was taken in Trinity quad.
The man on my left...Copy !req
704. is now the Earl of Doncaster.
What could I say?Copy !req
705. The photograph was undoubtedly authentic.Copy !req
706. Could it all be true?Copy !req
707. Of course, you don't need to take
my word for it, old sport.Copy !req
708. At lunch, I'm going to introduce you to one of
New York's most distinguished businessmen...Copy !req
709. a Mr. Meyer Wolfshiem, my good friend.Copy !req
710. He will confirm all I have told you...Copy !req
711. - ... and vouch for my good character.
- That's not necessary.Copy !req
712. Oh, but it is, though.Copy !req
713. I thought you ought to know something
about my life. I didn't want you to think I was...Copy !req
714. Well...Copy !req
715. I didn't want you to think
I was some nobody.Copy !req
716. You see, old sport, I'm going to make
a very big request of you today.Copy !req
717. A big request?Copy !req
718. Yes.Copy !req
719. Miss Baker will explain everything...Copy !req
720. when you take her to tea.Copy !req
721. Jordan? What's she got to do with it?Copy !req
722. Well, I assure you...Copy !req
723. it's nothing underhand.Copy !req
724. Miss Baker's an honest sportswoman.
She wouldn't do...Copy !req
725. anything that wasn't all right.Copy !req
726. Pull over!Copy !req
727. - Pull over to the curb!
- All right, old sport. All right.Copy !req
728. Right you are!Copy !req
729. I'll know you next time...Copy !req
730. Mr. Gatsby!Copy !req
731. - Excuse me.
- Thank you.Copy !req
732. One of your old Oxford pals?Copy !req
733. Well, I was able to do the commissioner
a favor once.Copy !req
734. He sends me a Christmas card every year.Copy !req
735. I imagine he'll be at lunch too. Heh.Copy !req
736. By the time...Copy !req
737. we reached the bridge,
I was impossibly confused.Copy !req
738. I didn't know what to think.Copy !req
739. But the city seen
from the Queensboro Bridge...Copy !req
740. is always the city seen
for the first time...Copy !req
741. in its first wild promise
of all the mystery...Copy !req
742. and the beauty...Copy !req
743. in the world.Copy !req
744. Anything...Copy !req
745. can happen now that we've slid over...Copy !req
746. this bridge, I thought.Copy !req
747. Anything at all.Copy !req
748. Even Gatsby could happen.Copy !req
749. Yes, absolutely.Copy !req
750. Oh!Copy !req
751. Ah!Copy !req
752. My boy!Copy !req
753. Meyer, Meyer, Meyer.Copy !req
754. Mm. Smell so good.Copy !req
755. - Look at you!
Look at you.Copy !req
756. Mr. Carraway, this is my good friend,
Mr. Meyer Wolfshiem.Copy !req
757. A wonderful pleasure...Copy !req
758. - ... Mr. Carraway.
- My pleasure.Copy !req
759. I know all about you.Copy !req
760. - I see.
Yes! Mr. Gatsby's...Copy !req
761. always talking about you.
Really?Copy !req
762. Shall we?Copy !req
763. Come.Copy !req
764. Join us for a little...Copy !req
765. "lunch.Copy !req
766. Hundred, hundred, hundred dollar billsCopy !req
767. Yeah!Copy !req
768. - Hands off!
Out! Out you go!Copy !req
769. Get off me!Copy !req
770. Tell Walter Chase he keeps his mouth shut...Copy !req
771. or he doesn't get a penny.Copy !req
772. We'll talk about...Copy !req
773. that later.
Highballs, Mr. Gatsby?Copy !req
774. Highballs it is.Copy !req
775. All right.
- You take care of my friend.Copy !req
776. Look who's here.Copy !req
777. You see these fists?Copy !req
778. He's the next heavyweight...Copy !req
779. - ... champion.
- Pay my respects to your boss.Copy !req
780. Hey, Jay!Copy !req
781. You're under arrest!
Ha-ha-ha!Copy !req
782. You be careful, now. You're turning
into a real jazz hound, commissioner.Copy !req
783. Bang, bang!Copy !req
784. - That's the commissioner.
Mr. Gatsby...Copy !req
785. your table is ready.Copy !req
786. Gatsby!
- Good to see you.Copy !req
787. Yeah, that's fantastic.Copy !req
788. You be careful at those tables now...Copy !req
789. senator.Copy !req
790. I'll put a bet on for you, Jay!Copy !req
791. Hundred dollar billsCopy !req
792. We'll have the lobster.Copy !req
793. It's decorated with truffles and fine herbs.Copy !req
794. Hundred dollar billsCopy !req
795. So...Copy !req
796. how is the bond business,
Mr. Carraway?Copy !req
797. Fine. Thank you.Copy !req
798. I understand you're looking for...Copy !req
799. - ... a business connection.
- No. No, no, no.Copy !req
800. No, no, no.Copy !req
801. This isn't the man, Meyer.Copy !req
802. This is the friend...Copy !req
803. that I told you about.Copy !req
804. Oh, I beg your pardon.Copy !req
805. I had a wrong man.Copy !req
806. If you'll excuse me, I have to make...Copy !req
807. that call.Copy !req
808. Any luck, senator?Copy !req
809. What a gentleman.Copy !req
810. From one of the finest families
in the Midwest.Copy !req
811. Sadly, all dead now.Copy !req
812. When I first made the pleasure of
Mr. Gatsby's acquaintance just after the war...Copy !req
813. I knew I'd discovered
a man of fine breeding.Copy !req
814. A war hero.Copy !req
815. Such medals.Copy !req
816. And...Copy !req
817. And...Copy !req
818. an Oxford man.Copy !req
819. You know Oxford?Copy !req
820. Yes, I've heard of it.Copy !req
821. Then you'd know
that when it comes to married women...Copy !req
822. a man like this can be trusted.Copy !req
823. With a friend...Copy !req
824. with someone like you...Copy !req
825. he'd never so much as look at your wife.Copy !req
826. I'm not married.Copy !req
827. But you work on Wall Street, right?Copy !req
828. Yes.Copy !req
829. Ah.Copy !req
830. Looking at my tiepin?Copy !req
831. Finest specimen of human...Copy !req
832. molar.Copy !req
833. Gentlemen.Copy !req
834. Everything all right?Copy !req
835. Yes! Yes. We...Copy !req
836. We were just talking about
other people's wives.Copy !req
837. Other people's wives?Copy !req
838. - Yes.
- Really?Copy !req
839. Well, my work here is done.
I'm going to leave you gentlemen...Copy !req
840. to talk about your sports
and your women.Copy !req
841. Other people's wives.Copy !req
842. Hello, ladies.Copy !req
843. Ooh.Copy !req
844. Who is he, anyhow?Copy !req
845. An actor?Copy !req
846. Meyer?Copy !req
847. No, no. He's a gambler.Copy !req
848. He's the man who fixed
the 1919 World Series.Copy !req
849. Fixed it?Copy !req
850. Fixed it.Copy !req
851. Well, how'd he manage that?Copy !req
852. Saw the opportunity, I suppose.Copy !req
853. He's a very smart man.Copy !req
854. Now, old sport, about Miss Baker
and that request we spoke of.Copy !req
855. Nick? Nick!Copy !req
856. Tom! Funny seeing you!Copy !req
857. How have you been?
Yeah.Copy !req
858. - Good.
- Nick, Daisy is furious...Copy !req
859. - ... that you haven't called.
- Hey...Copy !req
860. Mr. Gatsby, this is Mr. Buchanan.Copy !req
861. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.Copy !req
862. Yeah.Copy !req
863. Never would have expected
to find you in this temple...Copy !req
864. of virtue.
I was having lunch...Copy !req
865. with Mr. Gatsby.Copy !req
866. Can I help you, sir?
Jordan Baker...Copy !req
867. the famous sporting star?
The golfer? I see.Copy !req
868. I've spotted her. Thank you.Copy !req
869. There you are.Copy !req
870. What game are you and Gatsby...Copy !req
871. —Playing at?Copy !req
872. - The gentleman will be joining—?
- Excuse me.Copy !req
873. - Nick, please.
It's all rather...Copy !req
874. strange. He picks me up in his fancy car.Copy !req
875. - Going on about...
- Keep your...Copy !req
876. - ... his life.
- ... voice down.Copy !req
877. People can hear you.Copy !req
878. What is...Copy !req
879. this enormous request?Copy !req
880. He wants you to invite Daisy to tea.Copy !req
881. Daisy?Copy !req
882. And Gatsby.Copy !req
883. Why?Copy !req
884. I don't quite know where to start.Copy !req
885. You see, I didn't realize
until the other night that...Copy !req
886. I'd met Gatsby.Copy !req
887. Five years ago. In Louisville.Copy !req
888. It was the day I got
my new English golf shoes.Copy !req
889. Daisy...Copy !req
890. was by far the most popular girl with...Copy !req
891. the officers from Camp Taylor.Copy !req
892. Hello, Jordan.Copy !req
893. One of them was...Copy !req
894. in the car with her.Copy !req
895. It was Gatsby.Copy !req
896. The way he looked at her is the way...Copy !req
897. all girls want to be looked at.Copy !req
898. So...Copy !req
899. tell me what happened.Copy !req
900. Well, I don't know.Copy !req
901. Charge!Copy !req
902. JORDAN".
Gatsby was sent off...Copy !req
903. to war.Copy !req
904. When the war ended...Copy !req
905. Daisy waited.Copy !req
906. But for some unknown reason,
Gatsby couldn't return.Copy !req
907. A year later, Tom Buchanan of Chicago
swept in and stole her away.Copy !req
908. He gave her a string of pearls
worth $350,000.Copy !req
909. But the morning of the wedding...Copy !req
910. - ... Daisy received a letter.
Tell them...Copy !req
911. Daisy's changed her mind!Copy !req
912. What is this?
Daisy, please!Copy !req
913. - Hand it to me!
- No!Copy !req
914. Leave me alone!Copy !req
915. Jordan, no one must know about this.Copy !req
916. What was in the letter?
I don't know.Copy !req
917. She wouldn't tell me.Copy !req
918. But it was too late.Copy !req
919. That day at 5:00, Daisy Fay...Copy !req
920. married Tom Buchanan...Copy !req
921. with more pomp and circumstance
than Louisville had ever seen.Copy !req
922. Congratulations, Mr. Buchanan!Copy !req
923. After the honeymoon,
I saw them in Santa Barbara.Copy !req
924. Well, it was touching, really. I'd never seen
a girl so in love with her husband.Copy !req
925. A week later, Tom...Copy !req
926. crashed his car.Copy !req
927. The girl with him was a chambermaid
at the Santa Barbara Hotel.Copy !req
928. It got into all the papers.Copy !req
929. It's a strange coincidence.
What is?Copy !req
930. The fact that Gatsby's house
is just across the bay.Copy !req
931. It's no coincidence.Copy !req
932. He bought that house to be near her.Copy !req
933. He threw all those parties
hoping she'd wander in one night.Copy !req
934. He constantly asked about Daisy.
I was just the first person that knew her.Copy !req
935. All that for a girl
he hasn't seen in five years.Copy !req
936. And now he just wants me
to invite her over to tea.Copy !req
937. The modesty of it.Copy !req
938. Kind of takes your breath...Copy !req
939. - ... away, doesn't it?
- Evening, sweethearts. Where are...Copy !req
940. you kids going?Copy !req
941. Long Island, please.
And you think...Copy !req
942. I should. I mean, does Daisy
want to see Gatsby?Copy !req
943. She's absolutely not to know.Copy !req
944. You're supposed to invite her over...Copy !req
945. so he can happen to pass by.Copy !req
946. I remember feeling torn.Copy !req
947. Was it right to bring my cousin Daisy,
a married woman...Copy !req
948. together with a man I hardly knew?Copy !req
949. When I returned home,
Gatsby's was lit from tower to cellar...Copy !req
950. as if for another wild party.Copy !req
951. But there wasn't a sound.Copy !req
952. Thank you.
Have a good night.Copy !req
953. Your place looks like the World's Fair...Copy !req
954. or Coney Island.Copy !req
955. - Does it?
- Yes.Copy !req
956. Well, I've just been glancing...Copy !req
957. into some of the rooms.
What do you say we...Copy !req
958. go to Coney Island?
We could take my car.Copy !req
959. Oh, uh, it's too late tonight.Copy !req
960. We could take a plunge in the pool.
I haven't made use of it all summer.Copy !req
961. I must go to bed.Copy !req
962. All right.Copy !req
963. Happy to do it.Copy !req
964. I'm going to call Daisy and...Copy !req
965. - ... invite her to tea.
- That's all right—Copy !req
966. - What day would suit you?
- What day would suit you?Copy !req
967. I don't want to put you to any trouble.Copy !req
968. Day after tomorrow all right?Copy !req
969. Day after tomorrow?Copy !req
970. Well, I— I'd—Copy !req
971. See, I'd want to get the grass cut.Copy !req
972. Uh...Copy !req
973. Well, look here, old sport.Copy !req
974. You don't make much money, do you?Copy !req
975. - Not really.
- If you'll forgive me...Copy !req
976. You see, I happen to run a little business
on the side. A sort of sideline.Copy !req
977. You understand what I'm saying, right?
You do sell bonds...Copy !req
978. don't you, old sport?Copy !req
979. - I'm trying to.
- Right.Copy !req
980. Well, happens to be a rather...Copy !req
981. confidential sort of thing...Copy !req
982. but you might make
a nice bit of money.Copy !req
983. - No, thank you. I have my hands full.
- You wouldn't have to do...Copy !req
984. any business with Wolfshiem,
I assure you.Copy !req
985. It's a favor, Jay. Just a favor.Copy !req
986. Yes. Happy to do it.Copy !req
987. - Favor?
- Yes.Copy !req
988. Hm.Copy !req
989. Well, good night.Copy !req
990. Good night.Copy !req
991. Good morning.Copy !req
992. One of the papers says they thought
the rain would stop about 4.Copy !req
993. I think it was the...
I think it was the Journal.Copy !req
994. Ah.Copy !req
995. Just in to the right, gentlemen.
To the right...Copy !req
996. in the living room. Thank you.Copy !req
997. Is everything all right?Copy !req
998. The grass looks fine,
if that's what you mean.Copy !req
999. Grass?Copy !req
1000. What grass?Copy !req
1001. I bought cakes.Copy !req
1002. Have you—Copy !req
1003. Have you got everything you need?Copy !req
1004. Perhaps more flowers.Copy !req
1005. I think they did a fine job, don't you?Copy !req
1006. Beautiful.Copy !req
1007. You think it's too much?Copy !req
1008. Uh, I think it's what you want.Copy !req
1009. I think so too.Copy !req
1010. I can't...Copy !req
1011. wait all day.Copy !req
1012. I'm leaving.Copy !req
1013. Don't be silly. It's two minutes to 4.Copy !req
1014. No one's coming to tea! It's too—Copy !req
1015. It's her!Copy !req
1016. Is this absolutely where you live,
my dearest one?Copy !req
1017. Yes, it suits me.Copy !req
1018. Why did I have...Copy !req
1019. to come alone? Are you in love with me?Copy !req
1020. Oh, it's the secret of Carraway Castle.Copy !req
1021. - Tell your chauffeur to go far away.
- Come back in an hour...Copy !req
1022. Ferdie.Copy !req
1023. His name is Ferdie.Copy !req
1024. Oh.Copy !req
1025. Oh. My goodness.Copy !req
1026. I can't believe it.Copy !req
1027. You... Did you ransack a greenhouse?Copy !req
1028. He is in love with me.Copy !req
1029. Would you?Copy !req
1030. That's funny.Copy !req
1031. What's funny?Copy !req
1032. Ah.Copy !req
1033. What are you doing?Copy !req
1034. I'm certainly glad to see you again.Copy !req
1035. Hi. I'm...Copy !req
1036. I'm certainly glad to see you, as well.Copy !req
1037. We've... We've...Copy !req
1038. We've met before.Copy !req
1039. I'll have someone come repair this...Copy !req
1040. immediately.Copy !req
1041. Sorry about the clock.Copy !req
1042. - That's an old clock.
- Lovely, though.Copy !req
1043. - A lovely clock.
- Yes.Copy !req
1044. We haven't met for many years.Copy !req
1045. Five years next November.Copy !req
1046. Tea?Copy !req
1047. - Yes, thank you, old sport.
- Thank you.Copy !req
1048. Lemon or sugar?
- Neither.Copy !req
1049. Plain. Thank you.Copy !req
1050. I just have to pop...Copy !req
1051. - ... into town.
- Town?Copy !req
1052. I'll be right back.Copy !req
1053. Nick, I've...Copy !req
1054. gotta speak to you.Copy !req
1055. Yes. I'll be right back.
God.Copy !req
1056. This was a mistake.
This was a terrible, terrible mistake.Copy !req
1057. You're just embarrassed.
Daisy's embarrassed too.Copy !req
1058. - She's embarrassed?
- Yes.Copy !req
1059. Just as much as you are.Copy !req
1060. - Don't talk so loud.
- Hey.Copy !req
1061. You're acting like a little boy.
You're being rude. Daisy's...Copy !req
1062. - ... in there all alone and you're—
- Shh.Copy !req
1063. Looking over my story so far...Copy !req
1064. I'm reminded that
for the second time that summer...Copy !req
1065. I was guarding other people's secrets.Copy !req
1066. Once again, I was within...Copy !req
1067. and without.Copy !req
1068. Ahem!Copy !req
1069. It's stopped raining.Copy !req
1070. Yes.Copy !req
1071. It has, hasn't it?Copy !req
1072. What do you think of that, Daisy?Copy !req
1073. Come look.Copy !req
1074. Oh, Nicky. How funny.Copy !req
1075. Look, it's my house.Copy !req
1076. Just there across the bay.Copy !req
1077. I know.Copy !req
1078. I have the same view from my place.Copy !req
1079. Where's your place?Copy !req
1080. Nick...Copy !req
1081. I want you and Daisy to come over
to my house. I'd like to show her around.Copy !req
1082. You sure you want me to come?Copy !req
1083. Absolutely, old sport.Copy !req
1084. Absolutely.Copy !req
1085. Ladner, open the gates.Copy !req
1086. Open the gates!Copy !req
1087. I had the gates brought in
from a castle in Normandy.Copy !req
1088. Oh, Jay.Copy !req
1089. - It's so grand.
You like it?Copy !req
1090. I love it.Copy !req
1091. But how do you live here...Copy !req
1092. - ... all alone?
- Well, I don't.Copy !req
1093. I keep it always full of
interesting, celebrated people.Copy !req
1094. Come with me.Copy !req
1095. The house looks well, doesn't it?Copy !req
1096. See the way the whole front
catches the light like that?Copy !req
1097. Oh, it's splendid.Copy !req
1098. Come on, you two. I want...Copy !req
1099. the royal tour.Copy !req
1100. You must understand that I like all things
that are modern. Presses the orange...Copy !req
1101. it all comes out there.Copy !req
1102. Yay!Copy !req
1103. Anyone for a round of golf?Copy !req
1104. You do know I'm a champion golfer?
- Great!Copy !req
1105. Well, go on.Copy !req
1106. I thought we could...Copy !req
1107. Remarkable little camera.
Latest design.Copy !req
1108. I'll show you how it's done.Copy !req
1109. Nick, keep filming.
All right.Copy !req
1110. She's gonna take a swing.
I'm ready.Copy !req
1111. Aim. Fore!Copy !req
1112. I'm such a brute.Copy !req
1113. You ready for your close-up?
- I don't want to forget...Copy !req
1114. a single moment.
You're shimmering.Copy !req
1115. She looks like she could be
on the cover of Vogue.Copy !req
1116. Turn on the camera!Copy !req
1117. Where did you go?
Slow down.Copy !req
1118. Slow down.Copy !req
1119. Ahh.Copy !req
1120. It's beautiful.Copy !req
1121. It's a custom Wurlitzer.
Can anyone...Copy !req
1122. play that?Copy !req
1123. Klipspringer can. Someone wake Ewing.Copy !req
1124. - Of course, sir.
Music!Copy !req
1125. And then we can dance...Copy !req
1126. all night.
Ewing's a genius, plays anything.Copy !req
1127. Then I demand a Charleston.
- She makes it look so splendid...Copy !req
1128. don't you think, old sport?Copy !req
1129. I have a man in England...Copy !req
1130. who buys me clothes.Copy !req
1131. I've never seen anything like it.Copy !req
1132. Something for the lady.Copy !req
1133. He sends over a selection at...Copy !req
1134. the beginning of each season.Copy !req
1135. These are silk.Copy !req
1136. Jay!
These are flannel.Copy !req
1137. They're so beautiful!Copy !req
1138. Indian cotton.Copy !req
1139. Stop it. Jay!Copy !req
1140. Linen.Copy !req
1141. Nicky...Copy !req
1142. he's a madman!
I can't help you!Copy !req
1143. Flannel!Copy !req
1144. You're going to have to refold...Copy !req
1145. every single one of them.Copy !req
1146. You'll ruin them!Copy !req
1147. Jay! Stop it.Copy !req
1148. Right here!
No!Copy !req
1149. Jay!Copy !req
1150. What is it?Copy !req
1151. Daisy, Daisy, darling, what is it?Copy !req
1152. It makes me sad.Copy !req
1153. Why?Copy !req
1154. Because...Copy !req
1155. Five lost years...Copy !req
1156. struggled on Daisy's lips.Copy !req
1157. But all she could manage was:Copy !req
1158. Why?Copy !req
1159. Because I've never seen
such beautiful shirts before.Copy !req
1160. If it wasn't for the mist...Copy !req
1161. we could see the green light.Copy !req
1162. What green light?Copy !req
1163. The one that burns all night...Copy !req
1164. at the end of your dock.Copy !req
1165. Possibly...Copy !req
1166. it had occurred to Gatsby that...Copy !req
1167. the colossal significance
of that light...Copy !req
1168. had vanished forever.Copy !req
1169. Now it was once again...Copy !req
1170. just a green light on a dock.Copy !req
1171. And his count of enchanted objects
had diminished by one.Copy !req
1172. Who's this?Copy !req
1173. - Your father?
Oh, no.Copy !req
1174. That's Mr. Dan Cody, old sport.Copy !req
1175. He's dead now.Copy !req
1176. He used to be my best friend
many years ago.Copy !req
1177. You never told me...Copy !req
1178. you had a pompadour. Or a yacht.Copy !req
1179. I wanna show you something.Copy !req
1180. Have a seat.Copy !req
1181. These are a lot of clippings I collected.Copy !req
1182. About you.Copy !req
1183. You saved my letters.Copy !req
1184. This was my first...Copy !req
1185. photo of you.Copy !req
1186. You remember...Copy !req
1187. this letter here?
We can't lose each other...Copy !req
1188. and let all this...Copy !req
1189. glorious love...Copy !req
1190. end in nothing. Come home.Copy !req
1191. I'll be here waiting and hoping...Copy !req
1192. for every...Copy !req
1193. long dream of you to come true.Copy !req
1194. Excuse me.Copy !req
1195. Sir, Slagle's in Detroit.
- I can't talk now, old sport.Copy !req
1196. He must know what a small town is.Copy !req
1197. No, you listen to me. Listen to me.Copy !req
1198. I said a small town.Copy !req
1199. He must know what a small...Copy !req
1200. town is.Copy !req
1201. Listen to me, he's of no use to us
if Detroit is his idea...Copy !req
1202. of a small town, you understand?Copy !req
1203. We'll chat later, old sport.Copy !req
1204. All right.Copy !req
1205. Klipspringer.Copy !req
1206. He must be awake.Copy !req
1207. Shall we?Copy !req
1208. Whoo!Copy !req
1209. Ho!Copy !req
1210. I wish I'd done everything on earth with you.Copy !req
1211. All my life.Copy !req
1212. I wish it could always be like this.Copy !req
1213. It Will be.Copy !req
1214. If only it had been enough for Gatsby...Copy !req
1215. just to hold Daisy.Copy !req
1216. But he had a grand vision for his life
and Daisy's part in it.Copy !req
1217. It wasn't until the end of that summer...Copy !req
1218. on the last night I saw Gatsby...Copy !req
1219. that he told me of the life
he had dreamed for himself since...Copy !req
1220. he was a boy.Copy !req
1221. You see, doctor...Copy !req
1222. Gatsby's real name was...Copy !req
1223. James Gatz.Copy !req
1224. His parents were dirt-poor farmers
from North Dakota.Copy !req
1225. But he never accepted them
as his parents at all.Copy !req
1226. In his own imagination,
he was a son of God...Copy !req
1227. destined for...Copy !req
1228. future glory.Copy !req
1229. Chasing this destiny, a 16-year-old
Gatz ran far, far away.Copy !req
1230. One afternoon, off the coast of Lake Superior,
he spotted a yacht in peril.Copy !req
1231. He rowed out and rescued the vessel...Copy !req
1232. and its captain,
alcoholic millionaire Dan Cody.Copy !req
1233. Where's the boat?Copy !req
1234. You're gonna hit the shoal!Copy !req
1235. We're gonna hit the shoal!Copy !req
1236. What the hell are you doing...Copy !req
1237. old sport?
This was...Copy !req
1238. his opportunity and he seized it.Copy !req
1239. And I decided...Copy !req
1240. right then and there
to call myself Jay Gatsby.Copy !req
1241. He sailed the yacht out of danger...Copy !req
1242. and into his future.Copy !req
1243. Gatsby showed skill and ambition.Copy !req
1244. And for five years, they sailed the world.Copy !req
1245. GATSBY'.
He was all right, old Dan.Copy !req
1246. He taught me everything.Copy !req
1247. How to dress, act
and speak like a gentleman.Copy !req
1248. Gatsby. Jay Gatsby.Copy !req
1249. She looks well, doesn't she...Copy !req
1250. Gatsby hoped to inherit Cody's fortune.Copy !req
1251. - ... old sport?
But when Cody died...Copy !req
1252. Gatsby was cheated of his inheritance
by Cody's family.Copy !req
1253. He'd been left with the ability
to play the gentleman...Copy !req
1254. but he was once again dirt-poor.Copy !req
1255. By midsummer,
Gatsby was front page news.Copy !req
1256. Where did the money come from?Copy !req
1257. That's what all of New York...Copy !req
1258. wanted to know.Copy !req
1259. And it was the same question
on Tom's mind...Copy !req
1260. when he accompanied Daisy
to one of Gatsby's glittering parties.Copy !req
1261. I'll be right back.Copy !req
1262. You know, a lot of these...Copy !req
1263. newly rich people are just...Copy !req
1264. - ... filthy bootleggers.
- Not Gatsby.Copy !req
1265. He's a businessman.
He owned a lot of drugstores.Copy !req
1266. Businessman!Copy !req
1267. May I introduce Senator Gulick?
This is...Copy !req
1268. - ... Mr. Carraway.
- Senator.Copy !req
1269. - Mrs. Buchanan.
- Charmed.Copy !req
1270. Delighted.Copy !req
1271. Oh, and Mr. Buchanan...Copy !req
1272. the polo player.Copy !req
1273. - No, not me.
Always a pleasure...Copy !req
1274. to meet a Buchanan.Copy !req
1275. Likewise.
- I'll catch up with you later.Copy !req
1276. - Perhaps at the craps table.
- I'd rather not be the polo player.Copy !req
1277. Tom. You should be proud
of your achievements.Copy !req
1278. May I show you around?Copy !req
1279. Sure.Copy !req
1280. You must know the faces...Copy !req
1281. of many people you've heard of!
Absolutely.Copy !req
1282. We don't go around very much.
I don't think I recognize...Copy !req
1283. a single person.
Is that so?Copy !req
1284. Perhaps you know that lady...Copy !req
1285. right there.
It's Marlene Moon. I adore her pictures.Copy !req
1286. Would you like me to introduce you?Copy !req
1287. I'd really rather not be the polo player.Copy !req
1288. These things excite me so.Copy !req
1289. Nice little dance.Copy !req
1290. I believe we've met before,
Mr. Buchanan.Copy !req
1291. About a month ago.Copy !req
1292. That's right.Copy !req
1293. And you were with Nick here.Copy !req
1294. - At the barbershop.
- No, thank you.Copy !req
1295. That's right.Copy !req
1296. See, I know your wife.Copy !req
1297. That so?Copy !req
1298. Yes.Copy !req
1299. Mr. Gatsby, sir.Copy !req
1300. - Mr. Slagle is here.
- Not now. Not now.Copy !req
1301. —and Guitars with:Copy !req
1302. "The Foxtrot."Copy !req
1303. Mr. Buchanan.Copy !req
1304. Would you mind terribly?Copy !req
1305. Of course not.Copy !req
1306. I think I can keep myself amused.Copy !req
1307. In case you need to take down
any addresses.Copy !req
1308. Please move aside. Excuse me.Copy !req
1309. Another swell party, Jay.Copy !req
1310. Be careful for the snake charmer,
Mr. McLennehan.Copy !req
1311. ls all this made entirely...Copy !req
1312. from your own imagination?Copy !req
1313. No.Copy !req
1314. You see, you were there all along...Copy !req
1315. in every idea...Copy !req
1316. in every decision.Copy !req
1317. Of course, if anything is not to your liking...Copy !req
1318. I'll change it.Copy !req
1319. It's perfect.Copy !req
1320. From your perfect...Copy !req
1321. irresistible imagination.Copy !req
1322. I wonder...Copy !req
1323. where the devil he met Daisy.Copy !req
1324. - I'll find you.
- All right.Copy !req
1325. Come with me.Copy !req
1326. Coming through, please.Copy !req
1327. Pardon me.Copy !req
1328. Thank you.Copy !req
1329. There's a man
There's a manCopy !req
1330. Have you seen my wife?Copy !req
1331. No.Copy !req
1332. Not for a while.Copy !req
1333. Whiskey.Copy !req
1334. It's funny, the senator
just saw her down here.Copy !req
1335. I wish we could just run away.Copy !req
1336. Run away?Copy !req
1337. No.Copy !req
1338. Daisy, darling, that—Copy !req
1339. - That wouldn't be respectable.
You live...Copy !req
1340. around here, Nick?Copy !req
1341. Just next door.Copy !req
1342. Is that so?Copy !req
1343. GATSBY'.
We're gonna live here...Copy !req
1344. in this house.Copy !req
1345. You...Copy !req
1346. and me.Copy !req
1347. Darling...Copy !req
1348. it's time to tell Tom.Copy !req
1349. Come on, boys.Copy !req
1350. Scram!Copy !req
1351. Good night, gentlemen.Copy !req
1352. What a circus.Copy !req
1353. Well...Copy !req
1354. if you see her...Copy !req
1355. I'll be looking for her.Copy !req
1356. You tell her.Copy !req
1357. Remember how much fun we had?Copy !req
1358. I don't know why we can't
just have fun like that again.Copy !req
1359. Hello?Copy !req
1360. Hello, Nicky.Copy !req
1361. We're having a row.Copy !req
1362. - What about?
About...Copy !req
1363. things.Copy !req
1364. About the future.Copy !req
1365. The future of...Copy !req
1366. the colored empires.Copy !req
1367. It's Tom.Copy !req
1368. - He's wandering around the party looking—
Sir.Copy !req
1369. Mr. Gatsby, sir.Copy !req
1370. It's Mr. Slagle. He's quite emotional.Copy !req
1371. Excuse me.Copy !req
1372. Nick. Would you mind terribly?Copy !req
1373. Of course.Copy !req
1374. Gatsby disappeared...Copy !req
1375. to deal with a dispute of some sort.Copy !req
1376. Daisy waited...Copy !req
1377. but Gatsby was unable to return.Copy !req
1378. With these hot-headed types
in here, I rely on you.Copy !req
1379. But you were not available.
A scene was made.Copy !req
1380. What's going on with you, Jay?Copy !req
1381. Where were you?Copy !req
1382. With Nicky. Mr. Gatsby
was showing us the grounds.Copy !req
1383. He certainly must have...Copy !req
1384. strained himself
to get this menagerie together.Copy !req
1385. I'd like to know who he is
and what he does.Copy !req
1386. And I think I'll make a point
of finding out.Copy !req
1387. I'm not sure. Ask them in the kitchen.
To the left.Copy !req
1388. Yeah...Copy !req
1389. we'll pile that stuff in the garage,
it's going back to town.Copy !req
1390. Well...Copy !req
1391. there you are. Daisy just left.Copy !req
1392. She asked me to tell you...Copy !req
1393. she had a wonderful time.Copy !req
1394. She didn't like it.Copy !req
1395. Of course she did.Copy !req
1396. No, no, no.Copy !req
1397. No, she didn't like it.
She did not have a good time.Copy !req
1398. I feel so far...Copy !req
1399. away from her now.Copy !req
1400. It's so hard to make her understand.Copy !req
1401. You mean about the party?Copy !req
1402. The party?Copy !req
1403. I couldn't care less about the parties.Copy !req
1404. That'll be all for now, gentlemen.Copy !req
1405. - Thank you.
Thank you, sir.Copy !req
1406. You see...Copy !req
1407. she has to tell Tom
that she never loved him.Copy !req
1408. What?Copy !req
1409. Yes.Copy !req
1410. Then we can go back to Louisville
to her parents' house.Copy !req
1411. Her parents are lovely people,
old sport. We'll be...Copy !req
1412. married there.Copy !req
1413. See...Copy !req
1414. See, Daisy and I are gonna start over
just as if it were five years ago.Copy !req
1415. I wouldn't ask too much of her.Copy !req
1416. Wouldn't ask too much?Copy !req
1417. No.Copy !req
1418. I beg your pardon, old sport. It's just—Copy !req
1419. It's so sad,
because it's so hard to make her...Copy !req
1420. understand.Copy !req
1421. It's so hard to make her understand.Copy !req
1422. I've gotten all these things for her,
and now she just wants to run away.Copy !req
1423. She even wants...Copy !req
1424. to leave that.
Jay.Copy !req
1425. You can't repeat the past.Copy !req
1426. Can't repeat the past?Copy !req
1427. No.Copy !req
1428. Why, of course you can.Copy !req
1429. Of course you can.Copy !req
1430. I'm gonna fix things...Copy !req
1431. just the way they were before.Copy !req
1432. Everything's been so confused
since then. I...Copy !req
1433. He talked a lot about the past...Copy !req
1434. as if he wanted to recover something.Copy !req
1435. If I could just get back to the start...Copy !req
1436. If I could just get back to the start...Copy !req
1437. I could find it again.Copy !req
1438. Some vision...Copy !req
1439. of himself that he had
put into loving Daisy.Copy !req
1440. One night in Louisville, five years ago...Copy !req
1441. Gatsby found himself at Daisy's
house by colossal accident.Copy !req
1442. GATSBY". I went to her house first with some
of the officers from Camp Taylor.Copy !req
1443. I'd never been in such a beautiful house.Copy !req
1444. May I save the next dance?Copy !req
1445. His uniform hid...Copy !req
1446. the truth that he was...Copy !req
1447. a penniless young man...Copy !req
1448. with only that...Copy !req
1449. grand vision of himself.Copy !req
1450. - Daisy, don't scamper.
I was not, Mother.Copy !req
1451. So many dashing young officers here.Copy !req
1452. And from such illustrious families.Copy !req
1453. GATSBY'.
I always knew that I could climb.Copy !req
1454. But I could only climb...Copy !req
1455. if I climbed alone.Copy !req
1456. I knew...Copy !req
1457. that when I...Copy !req
1458. kissed this girl...Copy !req
1459. I would be...Copy !req
1460. forever wed to her.Copy !req
1461. So I stopped.Copy !req
1462. I stopped and I...Copy !req
1463. I Waited.Copy !req
1464. I Waited...Copy !req
1465. for a moment longer.Copy !req
1466. He knew...Copy !req
1467. his mind would never again
be free to romp like...Copy !req
1468. the mind of God.Copy !req
1469. That falling in love...Copy !req
1470. would change his destiny...Copy !req
1471. forever.Copy !req
1472. And then I just let myself go.Copy !req
1473. She blossomed for him
like a flower...Copy !req
1474. and the incarnation was complete.Copy !req
1475. I knew it was a great mistake
for a man like me to fall in love.Copy !req
1476. I'm only 32. I might still be a great man
if I could forget that I once...Copy !req
1477. lost Daisy, but...Copy !req
1478. my life, old sport, my life...Copy !req
1479. My life has got to be like this.Copy !req
1480. It's got to keep going up.Copy !req
1481. She has to go to Tom...Copy !req
1482. and tell him that she never loved him.Copy !req
1483. I just need to give her more time, old sport.Copy !req
1484. More time.Copy !req
1485. Don't worry, old sport. Don't worry.Copy !req
1486. I can protect her here.Copy !req
1487. Good night, old sport.Copy !req
1488. You're wrong about the past, old sport.Copy !req
1489. You're wrong.Copy !req
1490. There had been music
from my neighbor's...Copy !req
1491. all summer.Copy !req
1492. In his blue gardens, men and girls
came and went like moths...Copy !req
1493. among the whisperings
and the laughter and the stars.Copy !req
1494. Breakfast.Copy !req
1495. Yes.Copy !req
1496. Thank you, thank you.Copy !req
1497. Laughter.Copy !req
1498. Thank you.Copy !req
1499. No. The whisperings
and the champagne and the stars.Copy !req
1500. But...Copy !req
1501. after Tom and Daisy's visit...Copy !req
1502. Gatsby's lights went out one by one.Copy !req
1503. There were no more parties.Copy !req
1504. Daisy visited discreetly.Copy !req
1505. For the very same fame
that had all summer...Copy !req
1506. been a source of satisfaction
to Jay Gatsby...Copy !req
1507. had become a threat.Copy !req
1508. I don't wanna go home.Copy !req
1509. I hear you fired all your servants.Copy !req
1510. Daisy comes over sometimes
in the afternoon.Copy !req
1511. I wanted people who wouldn't gossip
until we decide what we're going to do.Copy !req
1512. You see, these towns...Copy !req
1513. are very close together, old sport...Copy !req
1514. and, well, it gets in the papers,
you understand.Copy !req
1515. They're all people Wolfshiem
wanted to do something for.Copy !req
1516. What's the difference
as long as they can cook...Copy !req
1517. and make beds, right?Copy !req
1518. Nick...Copy !req
1519. Daisy's ready. She's ready.Copy !req
1520. There's just one thing.Copy !req
1521. She's requested that you and Miss Baker
be there for lunch tomorrow at her house.Copy !req
1522. Will you come, old sport?Copy !req
1523. Daisy needs you.Copy !req
1524. I'llCopy !req
1525. We need you.Copy !req
1526. Can you come, old sport?Copy !req
1527. You know, I read somewhere...Copy !req
1528. that the sun
is getting hotter every year.Copy !req
1529. Wait a minute.Copy !req
1530. It's the opposite.Copy !req
1531. Sun is getting colder...Copy !req
1532. every year.Copy !req
1533. Oh, I would like to be out...Copy !req
1534. on that bay today.Copy !req
1535. I'm right across from you.Copy !req
1536. Right there.Copy !req
1537. Oh.Copy !req
1538. So you are.Copy !req
1539. You see...Copy !req
1540. every night...Copy !req
1541. I can see...Copy !req
1542. that light...Copy !req
1543. at the end of your dock blinking.Copy !req
1544. What light?Copy !req
1545. You see, Mr. Buchanan...Copy !req
1546. I wanted to be close.Copy !req
1547. - Daisy and I have both—
- It's so hot!Copy !req
1548. Everything's...Copy !req
1549. so confused.Copy !req
1550. What'll we do this afternoon...Copy !req
1551. or the day after that,
or for the next 3O years?Copy !req
1552. Oh, don't be morbid.Copy !req
1553. Let's go to town.
Who wants to go to town?Copy !req
1554. Town?Copy !req
1555. Women get these...Copy !req
1556. notions.Copy !req
1557. Daisy.Copy !req
1558. You look so cool.Copy !req
1559. You always look so cool...Copy !req
1560. like the advertisement...Copy !req
1561. of the man in Times Square.Copy !req
1562. The man...Copy !req
1563. in the cool, beautiful shirts.Copy !req
1564. She had told...Copy !req
1565. Gatsby that she loved him...Copy !req
1566. and Tom...Copy !req
1567. had seen.Copy !req
1568. Let's go to town.Copy !req
1569. I'm perfectly willing.Copy !req
1570. It's a marvelous idea.Copy !req
1571. Henri! Have the car...Copy !req
1572. brought around now.Copy !req
1573. Can't anyone at least have...Copy !req
1574. - ... a cigarette first?
- We smoked through lunch.Copy !req
1575. Come on, let's have fun.
It's too hot to fuss.Copy !req
1576. Daisy, it was your great idea.Copy !req
1577. Why don't we? Let's all go to town.Copy !req
1578. I changed my mind, you brute.Copy !req
1579. Come on. We'll get...Copy !req
1580. a great big room at the Plaza...Copy !req
1581. a bucket of ice...Copy !req
1582. a bottle of whiskey...Copy !req
1583. and it will be fun.Copy !req
1584. Come on.Copy !req
1585. It was your idea.Copy !req
1586. Fine. Have it your own way, Tom.Copy !req
1587. Come on, Jordan.Copy !req
1588. Will you join us, Mr. Gatsby?Copy !req
1589. Two bottles of whiskey.
Wrap them in a towel.Copy !req
1590. Come on, Nick!Copy !req
1591. Mr. Gatsby...Copy !req
1592. would you be good enough to take...Copy !req
1593. my coupe,
and I'll drive everyone else...Copy !req
1594. in your circus wagon.
I don't think...Copy !req
1595. there's much gas, old sport.Copy !req
1596. No, plenty of gas.Copy !req
1597. Well, if I run out, I'll stop...Copy !req
1598. at a drugstore. I hear you can...Copy !req
1599. buy anything at a drugstore
nowadays.Copy !req
1600. You take Nick and Jordan.Copy !req
1601. I suppose you can...Copy !req
1602. - ... yes.
- We'll meet you at the Plaza.Copy !req
1603. I'll be the man on the corner...Copy !req
1604. smoking two cigarettes!Copy !req
1605. You must think I'm pretty dumb,
don't you?Copy !req
1606. Well, I have a second sight sometimes
that tells me what to do.Copy !req
1607. I've made a small investigation
into this fellow.Copy !req
1608. And you found he was...Copy !req
1609. - ... an Oxford man?
- Oxford, New Mexico.Copy !req
1610. He wears a pink suit, for chrissake.Copy !req
1611. Tom, we're almost out of gas.Copy !req
1612. Wilson!Copy !req
1613. Wilson!Copy !req
1614. What are you waiting for?Copy !req
1615. - Let's have some gas!
- Uhh.Copy !req
1616. Do I have to do it myself?Copy !req
1617. You think I come here
to admire the view?Copy !req
1618. - I'm sorry, I'm sick.
Why?Copy !req
1619. - Why, what's the matter?
I don't know.Copy !req
1620. I'm all run down.Copy !req
1621. I need money...Copy !req
1622. - ... real bad.
- What?Copy !req
1623. My wife and I, we wanna go West.Copy !req
1624. Oh, your wife does?Copy !req
1625. Tom was feeling...Copy !req
1626. the hot whips of panic. His mistress...Copy !req
1627. and wife...Copy !req
1628. an hour ago so secure...Copy !req
1629. were both slipping from his control.Copy !req
1630. I wised up to something...Copy !req
1631. funny these last two days.Copy !req
1632. Yeah, she's going West...Copy !req
1633. whether she wants to or not.Copy !req
1634. What do I owe you?Copy !req
1635. A dollar.Copy !req
1636. - $1.20.
You can have the car.Copy !req
1637. I'll send it over tomorrow!Copy !req
1638. Okay, fine, fine, fine.Copy !req
1639. Open another window.Copy !req
1640. There aren't any more.Copy !req
1641. Then telephone...Copy !req
1642. for an ax.Copy !req
1643. Will you forget about the heat?Copy !req
1644. You make it worse by crabbing about it.Copy !req
1645. Why not let her alone, old sport?Copy !req
1646. That's a great expression...Copy !req
1647. of yours, isn't it?Copy !req
1648. What is?Copy !req
1649. "Old sport."Copy !req
1650. - Where'd you pick it up?
- See here.Copy !req
1651. If you're going to make personal remarks...Copy !req
1652. I won't stay here a minute.Copy !req
1653. Mr. Gatsby...Copy !req
1654. I understand that you're an Oxford man.Copy !req
1655. No, not exactly, no.Copy !req
1656. Oh, yes, I understand that...Copy !req
1657. you went to Oxford.Copy !req
1658. - Well, yes, I went there.
Sure.Copy !req
1659. - The man in the pink suit went to Oxford.
- Tom.Copy !req
1660. I said I went there, didn't I?Copy !req
1661. Oh, I heard you.Copy !req
1662. I'd like to know when.Copy !req
1663. You'd like to know when.Copy !req
1664. Well, Mr. Gatsby?Copy !req
1665. It was in 1919.
I only stayed there five months.Copy !req
1666. That's why I can't exactly call myself...Copy !req
1667. an Oxford man.Copy !req
1668. You see, it was an opportunity
they gave to some of us officers...Copy !req
1669. who fought in the war.Copy !req
1670. I wanted to get up and slap...Copy !req
1671. Gatsby on the back.Copy !req
1672. I'll make you a drink, Tom.Copy !req
1673. - Then you won't seem so stupid to yourself.
Wait a minute.Copy !req
1674. I want to ask Mr. Gatsby
one more question.Copy !req
1675. Oh, please, please, go on,
Mr. Buchanan. Go on.Copy !req
1676. What kind of a row are you trying
to cause in my house anyhow?Copy !req
1677. He isn't causing a row, you're causing
a row. Please have a little self-control.Copy !req
1678. Self-control?Copy !req
1679. Oh, I suppose...Copy !req
1680. the latest thing is to sit back...Copy !req
1681. and let Mr. Nobody From Nowhere...Copy !req
1682. make love to your wife.Copy !req
1683. Well, if that's the idea...Copy !req
1684. you can count me out.Copy !req
1685. See, nowadays people...Copy !req
1686. begin by sneering...Copy !req
1687. at family life and family institutions...Copy !req
1688. and the next you'll know, we'll...Copy !req
1689. throw everything overboard,
we'll have intermarriage...Copy !req
1690. between black and white!Copy !req
1691. Your wife doesn't love you.Copy !req
1692. She never...Copy !req
1693. loved you.Copy !req
1694. You see, she loves me.Copy !req
1695. You must be crazy.Copy !req
1696. No, old sport.Copy !req
1697. No, you see, she never loved you.Copy !req
1698. She only married you
because I was poor...Copy !req
1699. and she was tired of waiting.
It was a terrible...Copy !req
1700. terrible mistake, but in her heart...Copy !req
1701. In her heart, she never loved...Copy !req
1702. anyone but me.Copy !req
1703. - We should go.
- Let's all go home.Copy !req
1704. - Sit down, Daisy!
Please.Copy !req
1705. Please, take a seat.Copy !req
1706. Go on, Daisy.Copy !req
1707. Daisy...Copy !req
1708. what's been going on?Copy !req
1709. - I want to hear about it.
- I told you what's going on.Copy !req
1710. It's been going on for five years.Copy !req
1711. You've been seeing him...Copy !req
1712. for five years?Copy !req
1713. No, no, no, not seeing.
Not seeing, we couldn't. But...Copy !req
1714. both of us loved each other
all that time. Didn't we?Copy !req
1715. Oh, that's all.Copy !req
1716. Ha-ha-ha! You're crazy!Copy !req
1717. I can't speak about...Copy !req
1718. what happened five years ago
because I didn't know Daisy then.Copy !req
1719. And I'll be damned if I see how
you got within a mile of her...Copy !req
1720. unless you brought the groceries
to the back door.Copy !req
1721. But all the rest of that...Copy !req
1722. is a goddamn lie.Copy !req
1723. Daisy loved me...Copy !req
1724. when she married me...Copy !req
1725. and she loves me now.
No.Copy !req
1726. - No. I'm sorry, Mr. Buchanan, no.
She does! She does, though.Copy !req
1727. No, she does, though.Copy !req
1728. She does. And what's more, I love Daisy too.Copy !req
1729. No.Copy !req
1730. I love you, Daisy.Copy !req
1731. Now, once in a while...Copy !req
1732. I go off on a spree. I always come back.Copy !req
1733. - A spree.
And in my heart I love her all the time.Copy !req
1734. You're revolting.Copy !req
1735. You know why we left...Copy !req
1736. Chicago? I'm surprised
they didn't treat you...Copy !req
1737. to the story of that little spree!Copy !req
1738. That's all over now, Daisy, darling.
That's all over.Copy !req
1739. Just tell him the truth. Go on.Copy !req
1740. That you never loved him
and this will all be wiped out forever.Copy !req
1741. How could I love him...Copy !req
1742. possibly?
Remember our plans.Copy !req
1743. You tell him that you never loved him
and all...Copy !req
1744. this pain will be wiped out...Copy !req
1745. forever.Copy !req
1746. Daisy.Copy !req
1747. Daisy, tell him.Copy !req
1748. I never loved him.Copy !req
1749. Never?Copy !req
1750. - No.
- No.Copy !req
1751. Not at Kapiolani?Copy !req
1752. Not that day I carried you down from
the Punch Bowl to keep your shoes dry?Copy !req
1753. Never?Copy !req
1754. Please don't.Copy !req
1755. Daisy.Copy !req
1756. There, Jay.Copy !req
1757. You want too much.Copy !req
1758. I love you now...Copy !req
1759. isn't that enough? I can't help...Copy !req
1760. what's past.Copy !req
1761. I did love him once,
but I loved you too.Copy !req
1762. You loved me too?Copy !req
1763. You loved me...?Copy !req
1764. Even that is a lie!Copy !req
1765. She didn't know you were alive!Copy !req
1766. There are things between Daisy and me...Copy !req
1767. Gatsby, that you'll never know.Copy !req
1768. - Things that neither of us can ever forget.
I need to...Copy !req
1769. speak to Daisy alone.Copy !req
1770. You see, you've got her
all excited now, don't you...Copy !req
1771. old sport? Daisy.
Even alone...Copy !req
1772. I can't say I never loved Torn.
It wouldn't be true.Copy !req
1773. - What?
- Of course it wouldn't.Copy !req
1774. - As if it mattered to you.
Of course it matters!Copy !req
1775. I'm gonna take better care of you
from now on.Copy !req
1776. You're not taking care of Daisy
anymore. She's leaving you.Copy !req
1777. Nonsense!Copy !req
1778. - I am, though!
No, no, no.Copy !req
1779. She is not leaving me.Copy !req
1780. Certainly not...Copy !req
1781. for a common swindler...Copy !req
1782. like you.Copy !req
1783. Mr. Gatsby, exactly who are you, anyhow?Copy !req
1784. I made an investigation...Copy !req
1785. into your affairs. You're one...Copy !req
1786. of Meyer Wolfshiem's bunch.Copy !req
1787. Please, let's go home.Copy !req
1788. See, he and this Wolfshiem...Copy !req
1789. they bought up drugstores.Copy !req
1790. And sold bootlegged...Copy !req
1791. alcohol over the counter.Copy !req
1792. What about it, old sport?Copy !req
1793. Don't you call me "old sport."Copy !req
1794. And this drugstore business...Copy !req
1795. is just small change
compared to this bonds stunt...Copy !req
1796. that you and Wolfshiem
have got going.Copy !req
1797. Your friend Walter Chase...Copy !req
1798. - ... isn't too proud to come in?
- I gave u..Copy !req
1799. that some thought.Copy !req
1800. How does a reputable banker...Copy !req
1801. like Walter Chase find himself...Copy !req
1802. up to his eyeballs in debt...Copy !req
1803. I'll tell you.
- ... to a little kike like Wolfshiem?Copy !req
1804. - It's called greed, old sport.
That's right!Copy !req
1805. And you have half of Wall Street
out there swilling your...Copy !req
1806. free booze at that fun park
every weekend.Copy !req
1807. I'm surprised he hasn't
tried to drag you in.Copy !req
1808. My God, he has.Copy !req
1809. He's got nothing to do with—Copy !req
1810. With your little racket.Copy !req
1811. Daisy.Copy !req
1812. Daisy.Copy !req
1813. Can't you see who this guy is...Copy !req
1814. with his house and his parties
and his fancy clothes?Copy !req
1815. He is just a front...Copy !req
1816. for Wolfshiem, a gangster...Copy !req
1817. to get his claws into respectable folk
like Walter Chase.Copy !req
1818. The only respectable thing about you,
old sport, is your money.Copy !req
1819. Your money, that's it.
Now I've just as much...Copy !req
1820. as you. That means we're equal.Copy !req
1821. Oh, no. No.Copy !req
1822. We're different.Copy !req
1823. I am.Copy !req
1824. They are.Copy !req
1825. She is.Copy !req
1826. We're all different from you.Copy !req
1827. You see, we were born...Copy !req
1828. different.Copy !req
1829. It's in our blood...Copy !req
1830. and nothing that you do
or say or steal...Copy !req
1831. or dream up can ever change that.Copy !req
1832. A girl like Daisy—Copy !req
1833. You shut up!Copy !req
1834. Shut up!Copy !req
1835. You shut up! Shut up!Copy !req
1836. Shut up!Copy !req
1837. Gatsby looked, in that moment...Copy !req
1838. as if he had...Copy !req
1839. killed a man.Copy !req
1840. My sincerest—Copy !req
1841. My sincerest apologies.Copy !req
1842. I seem to have...Copy !req
1843. lost my temper.Copy !req
1844. That's right, Mr. Gatsby.Copy !req
1845. Show us some of those fine...Copy !req
1846. Oxford manners.
Daisy, darling.Copy !req
1847. None of this has any consequence.Copy !req
1848. Daisy.Copy !req
1849. Daisy, talk to me, darling.Copy !req
1850. I just lost my temper, that's all.Copy !req
1851. He began talking...Copy !req
1852. excitedly, but with every word...Copy !req
1853. Daisy was drawing
further and further into herself.Copy !req
1854. —to go to your parents' house
in Louisville.Copy !req
1855. Please, Tom, I can't...Copy !req
1856. stand it anymore!Copy !req
1857. Why don't you two start on home...Copy !req
1858. in Mr. Gatsby's car.Copy !req
1859. - Daisy, darling, look at me.
Go on.Copy !req
1860. Daisy.Copy !req
1861. He won't annoy you.Copy !req
1862. I think he realizes...Copy !req
1863. - ... that this little flirtation is over.
- Daisy?Copy !req
1864. Daisy!Copy !req
1865. You want any of this?Copy !req
1866. Jordan?Copy !req
1867. Nick?Copy !req
1868. Nick.Copy !req
1869. What?Copy !req
1870. You want any?Copy !req
1871. No.Copy !req
1872. I just remembered...Copy !req
1873. today's my birthday.Copy !req
1874. Happy birthday.Copy !req
1875. Thirty. The promise of
a decade of loneliness.Copy !req
1876. The formidable stroke of 30
died away...Copy !req
1877. as Gatsby and Daisy drove on
through the cooling twilight...Copy !req
1878. towards death.Copy !req
1879. Don't you lie to me!Copy !req
1880. Hey, where'd you get these from?Copy !req
1881. You might fool me, but you don't...Copy !req
1882. fool God!Copy !req
1883. God sees everything!Copy !req
1884. Myrtle!Copy !req
1885. Where are you?Copy !req
1886. Tom?Copy !req
1887. Torn!Copy !req
1888. Torn!Copy !req
1889. Myrtle!Copy !req
1890. I'm here! Stop!Copy !req
1891. Baby!Copy !req
1892. Torn!Copy !req
1893. Wait!Copy !req
1894. Slow down.Copy !req
1895. Slow down!Copy !req
1896. Bad trouble up ahead, sir!Copy !req
1897. Good. Wilson'll have
a little business at last.Copy !req
1898. Let's take a look.Copy !req
1899. Oh, must we?Copy !req
1900. Just a look.Copy !req
1901. Come on.Copy !req
1902. Move back! Clear the space here!Copy !req
1903. Have a little respect!Copy !req
1904. If you don't have a legitimate reason
to be in the building...Copy !req
1905. I want you outside!Copy !req
1906. If you saw anything tonight you'd like
to talk to me about, well, then you can...Copy !req
1907. talk to me outside.Copy !req
1908. I don't want you in here. Okay?Copy !req
1909. Please. Stand back. Please.Copy !req
1910. My God.Copy !req
1911. All right, folks.Copy !req
1912. Make some room, huh?
Make some room back there!Copy !req
1913. If you have no business, clear out!Copy !req
1914. Sir.Copy !req
1915. What are you doing? Sir!Copy !req
1916. Sir, I'm asking you—Copy !req
1917. Get off me!Copy !req
1918. I'm fine.Copy !req
1919. I'm fine.Copy !req
1920. You knew her, eh?Copy !req
1921. Not really. No.Copy !req
1922. I gotta ask you to step back, sir.Copy !req
1923. So, what happened?Copy !req
1924. She ran out in the road.Copy !req
1925. - Son of a bitch didn't even stop his car.
Hey.Copy !req
1926. I saw it. It was a yellow car.Copy !req
1927. A big yellow car.Copy !req
1928. Damn thing came out of nowhere.Copy !req
1929. Yeah. Yeah, a big yellow...Copy !req
1930. Duesy. Custom job.Copy !req
1931. You don't have to tell me
what kind of car it was.Copy !req
1932. I know what kind of car it was.Copy !req
1933. Wilson.Copy !req
1934. - Just pull yourself together!
- I know what kind of car it was!Copy !req
1935. He's upset! Everybody out!Copy !req
1936. Can't you see the man
needs peace and quiet?Copy !req
1937. Wilson! I just got here from New York.Copy !req
1938. No! Hey! Wilson!Copy !req
1939. I was bringing you the coupé.Copy !req
1940. Sit down! Sit down.Copy !req
1941. Get him a drink. Get him a drink.Copy !req
1942. That yellow car wasn't mine!Copy !req
1943. You hear? I haven't...Copy !req
1944. seen it all afternoon.
Hey!Copy !req
1945. What color's your car?Copy !req
1946. It's blue.Copy !req
1947. Coupé.Copy !req
1948. We just got here from New York.Copy !req
1949. They just stopped!Copy !req
1950. 0K8)'-Copy !req
1951. Blue.Copy !req
1952. Right.Copy !req
1953. Here.Copy !req
1954. Leave us alone.Copy !req
1955. Wilson.Copy !req
1956. Who owns the yellow car?Copy !req
1957. A fella named Gatsby.Copy !req
1958. Jay Gatsby.Copy !req
1959. He's a crook, George.Copy !req
1960. Yes. Throws those parties
the papers are always talking about.Copy !req
1961. Maybe he was the one that was
fooling around with Myrtle.Copy !req
1962. Maybe...Copy !req
1963. that's why he killed her.Copy !req
1964. Yeah, maybe.Copy !req
1965. Guy like that, who knows?Copy !req
1966. He didn't have to kill her.Copy !req
1967. Gatsby.Copy !req
1968. Something ought to be done
about a fella like that.Copy !req
1969. He'll pay.Copy !req
1970. Oh, he'll pay.Copy !req
1971. Coward.Copy !req
1972. He didn't even stop his car.Copy !req
1973. You gonna defend him now?Copy !req
1974. Huh?Copy !req
1975. I'll telephone for a taxi, Nick.Copy !req
1976. Why don't you come inside
and have some supper...Copy !req
1977. while you wait?Copy !req
1978. No, thanks. I'll wait outside.Copy !req
1979. What is the matter...Copy !req
1980. - . . With you?Copy !req
1981. Won't you come in, Nick?Copy !req
1982. No, thanks.Copy !req
1983. It's only half past 9.Copy !req
1984. No, I've had enough.Copy !req
1985. Of everyone.Copy !req
1986. Hello, old sport.Copy !req
1987. What are you doing?Copy !req
1988. Just sitting here.Copy !req
1989. Yes, I see that.Copy !req
1990. You see any trouble out on the road?Copy !req
1991. That woman...Copy !req
1992. - ... you ran down is dead, Jay.
- I thought so.Copy !req
1993. L.Copy !req
1994. I told Daisy that I thought so.Copy !req
1995. Daisy? Do you hear yourself?Copy !req
1996. How could you?Copy !req
1997. How could you do that?Copy !req
1998. Keep your voice down.Copy !req
1999. You're nothing...Copy !req
2000. - ... but a goddamn coward!
- Keep your voice down!Copy !req
2001. Please. There was no point in stop—Copy !req
2002. No point'? No point?
What about that woman?Copy !req
2003. No point. She was killed instantly.Copy !req
2004. Yes, it ripped her open!
I was there! I saw her!Copy !req
2005. I understand! I understand! It was my fault.Copy !req
2006. It was my fault. This woman...Copy !req
2007. she rushed out at us
as if she was trying to speak to us.Copy !req
2008. It all happened so quickly.
She tried— I tried...Copy !req
2009. - ... to turn in time...
- "She"?Copy !req
2010. but—Copy !req
2011. It was Daisy.Copy !req
2012. Well, I...Copy !req
2013. You see, after we left New York,
she was very nervous.Copy !req
2014. She thought that driving would steady her.Copy !req
2015. But this woman, she rushed...Copy !req
2016. out at us.Copy !req
2017. It all happened so quickly.Copy !req
2018. It wasn't her fault...Copy !req
2019. do you see?Copy !req
2020. No one must know that Daisy was driving.Copy !req
2021. Promise me.Copy !req
2022. Jay, you should go home
and get some rest.Copy !req
2023. I'm going to wait here.
I'm going to wait here all night...Copy !req
2024. - ... if necessary.
- No, no, no.Copy !req
2025. - That's not a good idea.
- If he tries...Copy !req
2026. to bother her about that
unpleasantness this afternoon...Copy !req
2027. If he tries to bother her...Copy !req
2028. If he tries any brutality on her whatsoever—Copy !req
2029. Torn won't touch her.
He's not even thinking about her.Copy !req
2030. I don't trust him.Copy !req
2031. - I don't trust him.
- All right.Copy !req
2032. All right.Copy !req
2033. You wait here.Copy !req
2034. I'll see if there's any commotion.Copy !req
2035. Would you?Copy !req
2036. Thank you, old sport.Copy !req
2037. Listen, she was in the wrong,
running out on the road.Copy !req
2038. Sweetheart, you have...Copy !req
2039. nothing to worry about.Copy !req
2040. Let me take care of things.Copy !req
2041. Take care of you.Copy !req
2042. I'll make some calls.Copy !req
2043. We'll go away.Copy !req
2044. Just go away, get out of town.Copy !req
2045. Get some rest. Don't worry.Copy !req
2046. It'll be all right.Copy !req
2047. Hey-Copy !req
2048. Oh. Hello, old sport.Copy !req
2049. J8)'-Copy !req
2050. - Everything all right?
- Yes.Copy !req
2051. Everything's just fine.Copy !req
2052. Around 4:00, she came to the window.Copy !req
2053. She stood there, then...Copy !req
2054. Then she turned out the light, so...Copy !req
2055. Well...Copy !req
2056. Give me a hand, will you, old sport?Copy !req
2057. I should have told him
what I had just seen, but...Copy !req
2058. all I could manage was:Copy !req
2059. You know, Jay,
with everything that's happened...Copy !req
2060. you ought to go away.Copy !req
2061. Tonight. They'll trace your car.Copy !req
2062. Go away? No, I can't leave now.Copy !req
2063. Not tonight.Copy !req
2064. Jay, do you understand
that a woman has been killed?Copy !req
2065. Daisy's going to call in the morning.Copy !req
2066. Then we'll make plans
to go away together.Copy !req
2067. - Yeah.
- Daisy, she—Copy !req
2068. She just needs time
to think things through. Herzog...Copy !req
2069. we're talking. Thank you.Copy !req
2070. She just needs time to think.Copy !req
2071. No, Jay. With Daisy—Copy !req
2072. She just needs time to think.
She's going to call in the morning.Copy !req
2073. Wait up with me.Copy !req
2074. The sun's almost up.Copy !req
2075. That was the night
he finally told me the truth.Copy !req
2076. All of it.Copy !req
2077. You know, I've thought for a while...Copy !req
2078. I had a lot of things,
but the truth is I'm empty.Copy !req
2079. I suppose that's why
I make things up about myself.Copy !req
2080. But I've wanted to tell you
the whole story for...Copy !req
2081. a very long time.Copy !req
2082. See, I grew up terribly, terribly poor,
old sport.Copy !req
2083. - My folks were...
He revealed his humble beginnings...Copy !req
2084. his transformative voyage
with Dan Cody...Copy !req
2085. the war, Oxford...Copy !req
2086. and how he joined Wolfshiem
in the business.Copy !req
2087. It was also that night...Copy !req
2088. that I became aware of Gatsby's
extraordinary gift for hope.Copy !req
2089. I can't describe how surprised I was
to find out that I loved her.Copy !req
2090. And that she loved me too.Copy !req
2091. A gift that I have never found
in any other person.Copy !req
2092. I never realized how extraordinary...Copy !req
2093. a nice girl could be.Copy !req
2094. And which it is not likely
I shall ever find again.Copy !req
2095. I thought out my life with Daisy in it...Copy !req
2096. trying to figure out how we could marry
and struggle along on so many dollars a month.Copy !req
2097. What was in the letter?Copy !req
2098. The reason why after the war
I hadn't been able to return.Copy !req
2099. I asked her to wait until I made
something of myself, but she was...Copy !req
2100. See, I felt married to her.Copy !req
2101. That was all.Copy !req
2102. It was all for her.Copy !req
2103. The house, the parties.Copy !req
2104. Everything.Copy !req
2105. God sees everything.Copy !req
2106. Mr. Gatsby, sir, excuse me.Copy !req
2107. Chicago calling, sir.Copy !req
2108. Not now.Copy !req
2109. Keep it open for a personal call.Copy !req
2110. A personal call? Of course.
Excuse me, sir.Copy !req
2111. Mr. Gatsby, I'm gonna drain the pool.Copy !req
2112. Before the leaves start falling in.Copy !req
2113. Not today.Copy !req
2114. Not today, it's so beautiful.Copy !req
2115. You know, old sport, I haven't used that
pool once all summer. Let's take a swim.Copy !req
2116. Have the phone brought down to the pool.Copy !req
2117. I have to go, Jay.Copy !req
2118. I have to work.Copy !req
2119. I understand.Copy !req
2120. Well...Copy !req
2121. I'll walk you out.Copy !req
2122. Well, I'll call you up.Copy !req
2123. Please do, old sport. Please do.Copy !req
2124. I supposed.Copy !req
2125. that Daisy will call too.Copy !req
2126. L.Copy !req
2127. I suppose.Copy !req
2128. Yes.Copy !req
2129. Well, goodbye.Copy !req
2130. Jay!Copy !req
2131. They're a rotten crowd.Copy !req
2132. You're worth the whole
damn bunch put together.Copy !req
2133. I was always glad...Copy !req
2134. I said that.Copy !req
2135. It was the only...Copy !req
2136. compliment I ever paid him.Copy !req
2137. That morning...Copy !req
2138. Wall Street boomed its usual...Copy !req
2139. golden roar.Copy !req
2140. But I wasn't worth a decent stroke of work.Copy !req
2141. I waited for Gatsby to call with news.Copy !req
2142. While he waited...Copy !req
2143. for Daisy.Copy !req
2144. Gatsby's.Copy !req
2145. I know Mr. Gatsby will be
very happy that you've called.Copy !req
2146. Daisy.Copy !req
2147. Hello! Hello!Copy !req
2148. Hello! ls everything all right?Copy !req
2149. Hello! Hello!Copy !req
2150. Hello!Copy !req
2151. Hello! ls everything all right?Copy !req
2152. I remember the rest of that day
as an endless drill...Copy !req
2153. of police and photographers
and tabloid reporters.Copy !req
2154. The headlines were a nightmare.Copy !req
2155. They pinned everything on Gatsby.Copy !req
2156. The affair with Myrtle.
The hit-and-run. Everything.Copy !req
2157. And there was nothing I could say...Copy !req
2158. except the one unutterable fact
that none of it was true.Copy !req
2159. Darling, Daddy's taking care
of his two favorite girls.Copy !req
2160. Where are we going?Copy !req
2161. - We're going on a holiday.
We should go.Copy !req
2162. Just you...Copy !req
2163. me and Daddy.Copy !req
2164. Buchanan residence.Copy !req
2165. May I speak to Mrs. Buchanan?Copy !req
2166. It's Mr. Carraway, her cousin.Copy !req
2167. HENRY.
Madame...Copy !req
2168. is not available, Monsieur Carraway.Copy !req
2169. If you speak to her,
tell her the funeral's tomorrow.Copy !req
2170. I'm sorry, monsieur,
they have gone away.Copy !req
2171. Gone away?Copy !req
2172. Do you know when they'll be back?Copy !req
2173. No.Copy !req
2174. They have already departed.Copy !req
2175. Please. I know that she would
want to be there. She would—Copy !req
2176. If you would just get a message to her.Copy !req
2177. - Let me talk to her, please.
You wish to contact her?Copy !req
2178. I have no further information, monsieur.Copy !req
2179. Please!Copy !req
2180. Hello?Copy !req
2181. Come on.Copy !req
2182. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy.Copy !req
2183. They smashed up things and people...Copy !req
2184. and then retreated back
into their money and their...Copy !req
2185. vast carelessness.Copy !req
2186. Hey-Copy !req
2187. Hey! Get out of here!Copy !req
2188. Go on!Copy !req
2189. Get the hell out of here!Copy !req
2190. I rang...Copy !req
2191. I wrote...Copy !req
2192. I implored.Copy !req
2193. But not a single one of the sparkling
hundreds that enjoyed his hospitality...Copy !req
2194. attended the funeral.Copy !req
2195. And from Daisy...Copy !req
2196. not even a flower.Copy !req
2197. I was all he had.Copy !req
2198. The only one who cared.Copy !req
2199. After Gatsby's death...Copy !req
2200. New York was haunted for me.Copy !req
2201. That city...Copy !req
2202. my once golden shimmering mirage...Copy !req
2203. now made me sick.Copy !req
2204. On my last night...Copy !req
2205. in New York...Copy !req
2206. I returned to that huge...Copy !req
2207. incoherent house once more.Copy !req
2208. Wolfshiem's associates...Copy !req
2209. had cleaned it out.Copy !req
2210. JORDAN".
He threw all those parties...Copy !req
2211. hoping she'd wander in one night.Copy !req
2212. It's like an amusement park.Copy !req
2213. But how do you live here all alone?Copy !req
2214. She makes it look so splendid...Copy !req
2215. don't you think, old sport?Copy !req
2216. Music! And then we can...Copy !req
2217. dance all night!Copy !req
2218. Will you come, old sport?Copy !req
2219. We need you.Copy !req
2220. I wish it could always be like this.Copy !req
2221. It Will be.Copy !req
2222. I remembered how we had all come to
Gatsby's and guessed at his corruption...Copy !req
2223. while he stood before us...Copy !req
2224. concealing...Copy !req
2225. an incorruptible dream.Copy !req
2226. It's perfect. From your perfect,
irresistible imagination.Copy !req
2227. The moon rose higher.Copy !req
2228. And as I stood there,
brooding on the old, unknown world...Copy !req
2229. I thought of Gatsby's wonder...Copy !req
2230. when he first picked out the green light
at the end of Daisy's dock.Copy !req
2231. He had come such a long way.Copy !req
2232. And his dream
must have seemed so close...Copy !req
2233. that he could hardly fail to grasp it.Copy !req
2234. But he did not know...Copy !req
2235. that it was already behind him.Copy !req
2236. Gatsby believed in the green light...Copy !req
2237. the orgastic future
that year by year recedes...Copy !req
2238. before us.Copy !req
2239. It eluded us then, but that's no matter.Copy !req
2240. Tomorrow, we will run faster...Copy !req
2241. stretch out our arms farther...Copy !req
2242. and one fine morning...Copy !req
2243. So we beat on...Copy !req
2244. boats against the current...Copy !req
2245. borne back...Copy !req
2246. ceaselessly...Copy !req
2247. into the past.Copy !req
