00:02:35.365 --> 00:02:38.235
Mrs. Anderson?
2
00:02:38.326 --> 00:02:40.196
Olivia?
3
00:03:13.361 --> 00:03:15.821
It is important
to understand about dying
4
00:03:15.905 --> 00:03:19.945
that even though in general you do not
have a personal choice in the matter,
5
00:03:20.034 --> 00:03:22.374
it is going to happen to you
when it happens to you.
6
00:03:22.453 --> 00:03:25.623
There are reasons you die.
7
00:03:25.707 --> 00:03:27.377
There are causes,
8
00:03:27.458 --> 00:03:30.038
a chain of events
linked by causality,
9
00:03:31.713 --> 00:03:36.053
and those events include decisions
that you have personally made.
10
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.179
How did you end up here,
on this exact day,
11
00:03:41.264 --> 00:03:42.854
at this exact time,
12
00:03:42.932 --> 00:03:46.732
with this specific event
happening to you?
13
00:04:08.499 --> 00:04:09.959
Hey!
14
00:04:39.989 --> 00:04:41.569
May our mourners rise.
15
00:04:44.494 --> 00:04:47.414
Today, we mourn the loss
of young Jonah Greenberg,
16
00:04:47.997 --> 00:04:51.077
fallen in Korea,
fighting for his country,
17
00:04:51.167 --> 00:04:52.747
at 19 years of age.
18
00:04:52.835 --> 00:04:56.875
Moses Greenberg, please,
to recite the Kaddish.
19
00:05:00.176 --> 00:05:01.466
Amen.
20
00:05:11.729 --> 00:05:12.769
Amen.
21
00:05:36.546 --> 00:05:37.756
Yeah, sure.
22
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.549
Marcus.
Hi, Mrs. Greenberg.
23
00:05:40.633 --> 00:05:44.643
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Yes, Marcus.
24
00:05:44.721 --> 00:05:48.061
You're such a clever boy.
25
00:05:48.141 --> 00:05:50.561
Jonah, he always looked
up to you.
26
00:05:50.643 --> 00:05:55.113
Maybe not such close friends.
But he respected.
27
00:05:55.189 --> 00:05:58.609
We were teammates. He
was a really good guy.
28
00:05:58.693 --> 00:06:03.613
Baseball.
He enjoyed.
29
00:06:03.698 --> 00:06:05.408
Marcus.
30
00:06:05.491 --> 00:06:09.121
Don't go into this war.
For your parents' sake.
31
00:06:09.203 --> 00:06:11.163
You should be
a baseball star.
32
00:06:11.247 --> 00:06:13.667
Don't go into this draft.
33
00:06:13.750 --> 00:06:15.330
He's going to
college, Miriam.
34
00:06:15.418 --> 00:06:19.418
They keep the ones in
college from the draft.
35
00:06:19.505 --> 00:06:22.625
Such a clever boy,
Marcus.
36
00:06:22.717 --> 00:06:24.757
A scholarship,
is that right?
37
00:06:24.844 --> 00:06:28.564
Yes. In Ohio,
this college is.
38
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:29.889
Ohio...
39
00:06:32.518 --> 00:06:34.308
how will you keep kosher?
40
00:06:40.735 --> 00:06:43.547
Only one thing worse than dyin'
by gettin' stabbed with a bayonet,
41
00:06:43.571 --> 00:06:46.951
and that's dyin' by gettin' stabbed with
a bayonet when you're still a virgin.
42
00:06:47.033 --> 00:06:49.583
And Greenberg
was definitely a virgin.
43
00:06:49.660 --> 00:06:52.620
Yeah? I thought maybe you and Greenberg
had taken care of each other
44
00:06:52.705 --> 00:06:55.415
before he shipped out.
Shut up, asshole.
45
00:06:56.667 --> 00:07:01.337
So, when do you report?
46
00:07:01.422 --> 00:07:04.342
Two weeks.
47
00:07:04.425 --> 00:07:09.385
Ah, you'll be okay.
You're smarter than Greenberg.
48
00:07:09.472 --> 00:07:11.432
Not as smart
as you.
49
00:07:32.745 --> 00:07:35.245
Mrs. Davidovich.
Two chickens?
50
00:07:35.331 --> 00:07:37.331
Let me see. Of course.
51
00:07:37.416 --> 00:07:40.496
Markie! Flick two chickens
for Mrs. Davidovich, will ya?
52
00:07:44.006 --> 00:07:45.006
Turn them around.
53
00:07:48.010 --> 00:07:50.560
Yeah. I'll wrap them for you.
54
00:07:52.390 --> 00:07:55.230
So what will you do when this
one goes off next month?
55
00:07:55.309 --> 00:07:57.689
The Mrs. will help.
Like the old days.
56
00:07:57.770 --> 00:08:01.110
I can't keep him here
chopping meat like me.
57
00:08:16.205 --> 00:08:18.785
I have to go see Gurevich.
58
00:08:18.875 --> 00:08:21.585
You can close up early.
59
00:08:21.669 --> 00:08:25.459
And bring home some
brisket for your mother.
60
00:08:25.548 --> 00:08:30.178
I told you, Dad. I'm going out
with Davey and Sam tonight.
61
00:08:30.261 --> 00:08:31.601
You didn't tell me.
62
00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:33.969
I told you! We're going
to the pictures.
63
00:08:34.056 --> 00:08:36.226
To the pictures.
64
00:08:36.309 --> 00:08:38.309
I know what you boys are doing.
65
00:08:38.394 --> 00:08:42.654
I heard from Mrs. Pearlgreen, about
that Eddie, going to pool halls.
66
00:08:42.732 --> 00:08:46.612
Dad, I'm going to the pictures.
I told you.
67
00:08:46.694 --> 00:08:47.784
I'm not Eddie Pearlgreen!
68
00:08:47.862 --> 00:08:49.992
For Chrissake, I don't even
know how to play pool!
69
00:08:50.072 --> 00:08:53.082
He took his father's car,
drove all the way to Scranton
70
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:55.749
to some special pool hall
they have there.
71
00:08:55.828 --> 00:08:57.998
He bets, he gambles...
72
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.500
his father says he'll
be stealing cars next.
73
00:09:00.583 --> 00:09:02.593
What does Eddie Pearlgreen
have to do with me?
74
00:09:02.668 --> 00:09:05.708
Dad, I'm leaving
in less than a month.
75
00:09:05.796 --> 00:09:07.506
You think I'm tempted
to steal cars?
76
00:10:01.435 --> 00:10:02.725
Markie?
77
00:10:04.271 --> 00:10:05.941
Mom?
78
00:10:07.775 --> 00:10:10.025
Everything okay?
What's going on?
79
00:10:10.820 --> 00:10:11.990
Your father.
80
00:10:12.071 --> 00:10:13.531
What happened?
81
00:10:13.614 --> 00:10:16.244
He went out.
Looking for you.
82
00:10:16.325 --> 00:10:18.575
He was worried.
83
00:10:18.661 --> 00:10:21.381
He's been talking to Artie Pearlgreen
again, it got him all riled up.
84
00:10:21.497 --> 00:10:25.247
I think he smoked three packs of
cigarettes. Then he went.
85
00:10:25.334 --> 00:10:28.504
What's happening to him, Mom?
What's the matter with him?
86
00:10:28.587 --> 00:10:31.337
He's crazy... he's driving me
crazy, he's driving you crazy.
87
00:10:31.424 --> 00:10:34.054
It's your leaving.
It's all the boys dying,
88
00:10:34.135 --> 00:10:37.045
Bennie and Abe in the last war,
now this new war, I don't know.
89
00:10:37.138 --> 00:10:40.218
He's worried about you. He's
worried about Ohio...
90
00:10:47.189 --> 00:10:49.529
So, there you are.
91
00:10:49.608 --> 00:10:53.148
Yeah, strange, here I am,
in my own house.
92
00:10:53.237 --> 00:10:55.067
I've been everywhere
looking for you.
93
00:10:55.156 --> 00:10:57.736
Why? Why? Why?
Somebody tell me why?
94
00:10:57.825 --> 00:10:59.785
Because if anything
were to happen to you...
95
00:10:59.869 --> 00:11:01.699
- Oh, come on...
- If anything were
96
00:11:01.787 --> 00:11:03.157
to ever happen
to you.
97
00:11:03.247 --> 00:11:05.287
What is this all about?
98
00:11:05.374 --> 00:11:07.884
It's about life, Markie.
99
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.550
It's about the tiniest mistake
that can have consequences.
100
00:11:10.629 --> 00:11:12.799
Christ, you sound
like a fortune cookie.
101
00:11:12.882 --> 00:11:14.972
Do I?
Like a fortune cookie?
102
00:11:15.051 --> 00:11:17.301
Not like the concerned father
that I am
103
00:11:17.386 --> 00:11:18.716
but like
a fortune cookie?
104
00:11:18.804 --> 00:11:21.224
I can't take this anymore-
I can't take this.
105
00:11:21.307 --> 00:11:22.677
You know,
thank God I'm leaving.
106
00:11:22.767 --> 00:11:25.557
Thank God!
So I don't end up...
107
00:11:25.644 --> 00:11:28.444
What? End up what?
108
00:11:28.522 --> 00:11:31.032
I don't know!
I don't know!
109
00:12:01.305 --> 00:12:05.385
Maybe I shouldn't go.
110
00:12:05.476 --> 00:12:07.646
No.
111
00:12:07.728 --> 00:12:11.228
Come on.
112
00:12:11.315 --> 00:12:12.395
You go.
113
00:12:18.739 --> 00:12:21.329
You gotta stop worrying.
It's scaring Ma.
114
00:12:26.497 --> 00:12:28.867
You go.
115
00:12:28.958 --> 00:12:33.128
Just... be careful.
116
00:13:13.752 --> 00:13:16.552
Everything's in the envelope.
You're in Jenkins 211.
117
00:13:16.630 --> 00:13:18.880
That's behind the men's
quad, back towards the gym.
118
00:13:18.966 --> 00:13:21.466
Keys are in there, and check your
class schedule, in there too.
119
00:13:21.552 --> 00:13:24.392
And, looks like you're
doing a campus job.
120
00:13:24.471 --> 00:13:25.851
The job board
is right over there.
121
00:13:25.931 --> 00:13:28.251
Just take a ticket down from
the board for the job you want
122
00:13:28.309 --> 00:13:29.629
and turn it back
in with the form.
123
00:13:29.685 --> 00:13:33.605
I'd go now, otherwise all
that's left is the dining hall.
124
00:14:02.384 --> 00:14:04.054
Hi. Marcus Messner.
125
00:14:04.136 --> 00:14:06.806
Hey. Ron Foxman.
126
00:14:06.889 --> 00:14:08.809
That's Bert Flusser.
127
00:14:08.891 --> 00:14:11.061
Where are you from?
Newark.
128
00:14:11.185 --> 00:14:12.725
Where's that?
New Jersey.
129
00:14:12.811 --> 00:14:14.691
Right.
130
00:14:14.772 --> 00:14:16.072
Cleveland, Ohio.
131
00:14:16.148 --> 00:14:17.648
Flusser's from Chicago.
132
00:14:17.733 --> 00:14:22.823
He's...
cultured, you'll see.
133
00:14:22.905 --> 00:14:25.815
Oh, yeah? Does Flusser talk?
134
00:14:25.908 --> 00:14:28.698
Oh, I talk all right.
I even talk in my sleep.
135
00:14:28.786 --> 00:14:32.536
I have so much to say, so
much to share with the world.
136
00:14:35.251 --> 00:14:37.711
Young freshman
Marcus Messner,
137
00:14:37.795 --> 00:14:39.165
from Newark, New Jersey.
138
00:14:39.255 --> 00:14:43.045
What a surprise to find yourself
in a triple with two other Jews.
139
00:14:43.133 --> 00:14:44.843
What a coincidence.
140
00:14:44.927 --> 00:14:47.137
Ronald and I are the only
two Jews at Winesburg
141
00:14:47.221 --> 00:14:49.271
who are not
in the Jewish fraternity.
142
00:14:49.348 --> 00:14:51.518
After all, we are juniors,
143
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.850
we ought to be living in
style over at Zeta Tau Mu,
144
00:14:54.937 --> 00:14:57.147
not bunking
with young freshman
145
00:14:57.231 --> 00:14:58.901
Marcus Messner.
146
00:15:00.442 --> 00:15:05.202
♪ All of us with one heart
With the torch of freedom ♪
147
00:15:05.281 --> 00:15:07.871

150
00:15:16.333 --> 00:15:18.213
Bert. Close the door
at least.
151
00:15:21.422 --> 00:15:23.302
Ronald doesn't like
Negro Communists.
152
00:15:23.382 --> 00:15:24.762
Paul Robeson
in particular.
153
00:15:24.842 --> 00:15:26.342
He doesn't like music at all,
in fact.
154
00:15:26.427 --> 00:15:29.097
If Dean Caudwell ever heard you
playing that commie propaganda,
155
00:15:29.179 --> 00:15:30.809
he'd probably toss you
right out of here.
156
00:15:30.889 --> 00:15:33.769
Dean Caudwell loves me.
Dean Caudwell?
157
00:15:33.851 --> 00:15:35.271
Dean of men.
158
00:15:35.352 --> 00:15:39.692
And a man among deans,
if I do say so myself.
159
00:15:39.773 --> 00:15:44.363
In fact he's addressing
us in 15 minutes.
160
00:15:44.445 --> 00:15:46.985
Shit.
Chapel.
161
00:15:47.072 --> 00:15:49.162
Uh... chapel?
162
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:51.700
Didn't you read
the handbook?
163
00:15:51.785 --> 00:15:53.695
Required.
Every Wednesday at 11.
164
00:15:53.787 --> 00:15:56.707
You have to go to at least 10 of
them a year if you want to graduate.
165
00:15:56.790 --> 00:15:58.830
Might as well
get started today!
166
00:16:01.128 --> 00:16:03.958
To you who join
us today for the first time,
167
00:16:05.007 --> 00:16:07.797
to you who enter
your final year,
168
00:16:09.136 --> 00:16:12.136
looking out at the prospect
of what may seem to be
169
00:16:12.222 --> 00:16:15.232
an uncertain
and dangerous horizon,
170
00:16:15.309 --> 00:16:21.149
menaced as this country may be
by enemies both foreign and native,
171
00:16:21.899 --> 00:16:25.609
fear not, puzzle not,
172
00:16:26.487 --> 00:16:29.067
hesitate not,
173
00:16:29.156 --> 00:16:31.736
for the spirit of Winesburg
174
00:16:31.825 --> 00:16:34.365
will animate and fortify you.
175
00:16:36.663 --> 00:16:40.503
And now, Dr. Donehower
will lead us in prayer.
176
00:16:48.884 --> 00:16:50.554
Righteous God,
177
00:16:50.636 --> 00:16:52.596
who rules the nations,
178
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.979
we pray that you guard all the
strong young men and women
179
00:16:57.059 --> 00:16:59.399
who enter the gates
of Winesburg College
180
00:16:59.478 --> 00:17:02.108
in the service
of greater knowledge
181
00:17:02.189 --> 00:17:03.859
and greater strength.
182
00:17:03.941 --> 00:17:08.451
To our fellow Winesburgians currently
serving the cause of freedom in Korea...
183
00:17:41.437 --> 00:17:43.057
Order, Arms...
184
00:17:46.066 --> 00:17:47.776
Left Shoulder, Arms...
185
00:17:51.280 --> 00:17:52.660
Order, Arms...
186
00:17:59.580 --> 00:18:01.290
Yes? Call
from Marcus Messner.
187
00:18:01.373 --> 00:18:02.833
Yes, I'll accept the charges.
188
00:18:02.916 --> 00:18:04.836
Marcus? Marcus, honey?
189
00:18:04.918 --> 00:18:06.418
Yes, Mom. I'm here.
190
00:18:06.503 --> 00:18:08.843
You sound tired.
Are you tired?
191
00:18:08.922 --> 00:18:11.092
No, I'm not too tired.
I'm just busy.
192
00:18:11.175 --> 00:18:14.425
Tell me about your classes.
Have you gotten any grades yet?
193
00:18:14.511 --> 00:18:16.181
It's only two weeks, Ma.
194
00:18:16.263 --> 00:18:19.183
I have an American History
paper due tomorrow.
195
00:18:19.266 --> 00:18:21.266
Hold on,
your father wants to talk...
196
00:18:21.351 --> 00:18:24.021
So Markus, what else,
what else is going on?
197
00:18:24.104 --> 00:18:26.864
Studying. Studying
and working at the library.
198
00:18:26.940 --> 00:18:28.860
And what are you
doing to divert yourself?
199
00:18:28.942 --> 00:18:32.202
Nothing. I don't need diversions.
I don't have the time for them.
200
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:35.319
Is there a girl
in the picture yet?
201
00:18:35.407 --> 00:18:36.237
Not yet.
202
00:18:36.325 --> 00:18:39.155
You be careful.
I will be.
203
00:18:39.286 --> 00:18:41.496
You know what I mean. Yeah.
204
00:18:41.622 --> 00:18:44.672
You don't want to get into any trouble.
I won't, Dad. Stop.
205
00:18:44.750 --> 00:18:48.590
That Karpen boy,
the army sent him home.
206
00:18:48.670 --> 00:18:50.420
They found that
he has flat feet.
207
00:18:50.506 --> 00:18:52.666
Gershowitz gave him
a job at the grocery,
208
00:18:52.758 --> 00:18:56.428
first thing he's delivering the
groceries and crashes the truck...
209
00:19:14.655 --> 00:19:16.315
You're Marcus Messner,
right?
210
00:19:16.406 --> 00:19:18.736
I'm Sonny, Sonny Cottler.
This is Marty Ziegler.
211
00:19:18.825 --> 00:19:20.637
We're wondering if you
have a couple of minutes,
212
00:19:20.661 --> 00:19:22.013
maybe head over
to the Owl for a soda.
213
00:19:22.037 --> 00:19:23.577
What's this
all about?
214
00:19:23.664 --> 00:19:26.584
We're with Zeta Tau Mu. The
Jewish fraternity on campus.
215
00:19:26.667 --> 00:19:29.207
We'd love to talk
to you about rushing.
216
00:19:32.047 --> 00:19:36.637
Look. I'm sorry. I don't think
I'm going to join a fraternity.
217
00:19:36.718 --> 00:19:38.638
Well, you don't have to.
218
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:42.100
Why don't you just come over to
the house for dinner some time?
219
00:19:42.182 --> 00:19:44.982
You can come tomorrow night.
It's roast beef night.
220
00:19:45.060 --> 00:19:46.663
You'll have a good meal,
meet some of the brothers,
221
00:19:46.687 --> 00:19:48.331
and there's no obligation
to do anything else.
222
00:19:48.355 --> 00:19:51.225
No. I don't believe
in fraternities.
223
00:19:51.316 --> 00:19:53.646
Believe in them? What
is there to believe in?
224
00:19:53.735 --> 00:19:56.339
A couple of like-minded guys get
together for friendship and camaraderie.
225
00:19:56.363 --> 00:20:00.283
We play sports together,
we hold parties and dances.
226
00:20:00.367 --> 00:20:03.657
We share our meals together, it
can get awfully lonely otherwise.
227
00:20:03.745 --> 00:20:05.495
You know that out of
1400 people on campus,
228
00:20:05.581 --> 00:20:06.791
less than 80
are Jewish?
229
00:20:06.873 --> 00:20:08.293
That's a pretty
small percentage.
230
00:20:08.375 --> 00:20:10.245
The only other fraternity
that'll have a Jew is
231
00:20:10.335 --> 00:20:11.625
the non-sectarian house,
232
00:20:11.712 --> 00:20:14.592
and they don't have much going for
them in the way of facilities
233
00:20:14.673 --> 00:20:16.473
or really anything.
234
00:20:16.550 --> 00:20:18.590
I'm a senior, Marcus. And
president of the house.
235
00:20:18.677 --> 00:20:19.797
I don't want
to pressure you
236
00:20:19.886 --> 00:20:21.686
but some of the brothers
have seen you around,
237
00:20:21.722 --> 00:20:22.949
they think you'd make
a great addition.
238
00:20:22.973 --> 00:20:24.773
They say you seem
to be a real scholar.
239
00:20:24.850 --> 00:20:27.600
Did you know that since Zeta Tau
was formed just ten years ago,
240
00:20:27.686 --> 00:20:30.556
we've won the Inter fraternity
Scholarship Cup five times...
241
00:20:30.647 --> 00:20:31.727
more than any
other house.
242
00:20:31.815 --> 00:20:33.105
Sonny's being
modest, Marcus.
243
00:20:33.191 --> 00:20:35.952
He's actually the president of the
Inter fraternity Council this year.
244
00:20:35.986 --> 00:20:37.356
Listen, that's great.
245
00:20:37.446 --> 00:20:41.826
I appreciate your coming around, but I'm
not going to be joining any fraternity.
246
00:20:41.908 --> 00:20:43.538
Can I ask why?
247
00:20:43.619 --> 00:20:47.659
I, uh... I have my job,
I have my studies.
248
00:20:47.748 --> 00:20:52.998
I'm just not in the market for
anything more than that right now.
249
00:20:53.086 --> 00:20:55.836
Thank you anyways.
I hope you're not offended.
250
00:20:55.922 --> 00:20:57.592
Not offended at all.
251
00:20:57.674 --> 00:20:59.554
I admire
your determination.
252
00:20:59.635 --> 00:21:02.295
Give me a ring at the house if
you think about it some more
253
00:21:02.387 --> 00:21:03.847
or if you need
anything at all.
254
00:21:03.930 --> 00:21:07.560
And if you decide to stay for
dinner, all the better. Deal?
255
00:21:07.643 --> 00:21:09.813
Sure. Sure.
256
00:21:10.646 --> 00:21:11.806
Alright.
257
00:21:14.900 --> 00:21:17.110
...But the Puritans faced
a particular challenge
258
00:21:17.194 --> 00:21:20.914
as, by the 1660s, the first
generation began to die out.
259
00:21:20.989 --> 00:21:25.789
So in 1662 the Reverend
Solomon Stoddard
260
00:21:25.869 --> 00:21:28.329
devised the so-called
Half-Way Covenant,
261
00:21:28.413 --> 00:21:30.083
whereby members
of the community
262
00:21:30.165 --> 00:21:31.825
could be half-members
of the church
263
00:21:31.917 --> 00:21:33.877
if they agreed to abide
by its rules,
264
00:21:34.503 --> 00:21:36.763
even if in their hearts
they could not profess
265
00:21:36.838 --> 00:21:40.258
a complete Puritan
conversion... Yes, Jack?
266
00:21:40.342 --> 00:21:42.342
So, "go along to get along."
267
00:21:42.427 --> 00:21:43.717
That's right.
268
00:21:43.804 --> 00:21:45.724
By allowing people
to stay part of the church,
269
00:21:45.806 --> 00:21:47.386
and by extension,
the community,
270
00:21:47.474 --> 00:21:52.234
the Puritan leaders were able to maintain
authority and political continuity. Yes?
271
00:21:52.312 --> 00:21:56.692
Isn't that the same kind of hypocrisy
the Puritans claimed to rebel against?
272
00:21:56.775 --> 00:21:58.935
Aren't they doing
the exact same thing
273
00:21:59.027 --> 00:22:01.067
they accused
the Church of England of?
274
00:22:01.154 --> 00:22:04.204
Well, Mr. Messner, hypocrisy
is a very strong word.
275
00:22:04.282 --> 00:22:07.872
It is a strong word,
but as ironic as it appears,
276
00:22:07.953 --> 00:22:10.793
I believe it is a word
that accurately describes
277
00:22:10.872 --> 00:22:13.882
the political position of the
Puritans of the second generation.
278
00:22:13.959 --> 00:22:18.299
Pragmatism might
be an even more accurate term.
279
00:22:18.380 --> 00:22:22.260
I do not now fool myself,
to let imagination...
280
00:22:22.342 --> 00:22:23.342
...Jade me.
281
00:22:23.385 --> 00:22:24.505
...jade me...
282
00:22:24.594 --> 00:22:26.604
for every reason
excites to this,
283
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.600
that my lady loves me.
284
00:22:29.683 --> 00:22:31.893
She did commend my yellow
stockings of late,
285
00:22:31.977 --> 00:22:33.977
she did praise them
being cross-gartered
286
00:22:34.062 --> 00:22:36.442
and in this she manifests
herself to my love,
287
00:22:36.523 --> 00:22:40.783
and with a kind of injunction drives
me to these habits of her liking.
288
00:22:40.861 --> 00:22:42.901
I thank my stars
I am happy.
289
00:22:42.988 --> 00:22:47.868
I will be strange, stout,
in yellow stockings,
290
00:22:47.951 --> 00:22:50.621
and cross-gartered, even with
the swiftness of putting on.
291
00:22:50.704 --> 00:22:52.414
Jove and
my stars be praised!
292
00:22:52.497 --> 00:22:54.997
I'll be revenged on the
whole pack of you!
293
00:22:56.168 --> 00:22:58.248
Flusser's a real star.
294
00:22:58.336 --> 00:22:59.956
You gonna come see
this thing?
295
00:23:00.046 --> 00:23:03.046
You know as well as I
that Marcus is a scholar.
296
00:23:03.133 --> 00:23:06.803
He hasn't time for frivolities
like the theater.
297
00:23:22.068 --> 00:23:25.358
What is it that
pivots or turns a person
298
00:23:25.447 --> 00:23:28.367
from existence
to non-existence?
299
00:23:29.826 --> 00:23:32.576
For myself, perhaps it was
the unceasing movement
300
00:23:32.662 --> 00:23:35.042
of Olivia Hutton's leg.
301
00:23:48.094 --> 00:23:50.934
That night, I had to stay up
til 3 am to finish the homework
302
00:23:51.014 --> 00:23:55.064
I didn't get done while I
was watching that leg,
303
00:23:55.143 --> 00:23:57.523
rehearsing in my head how
I would ask my roommate
304
00:23:57.604 --> 00:24:03.824
Ron Foxman the loan of his beloved
1940 LaSalle Touring Sedan,
305
00:24:03.902 --> 00:24:07.492
building up the courage to ask
Olivia Hutton out on a date.
306
00:24:10.325 --> 00:24:13.825
Weekday curfew
is 9pm sharp.
307
00:24:13.912 --> 00:24:17.872
Okay. I will have her back by then.
Thank you.
308
00:24:17.958 --> 00:24:20.288
Why are you
thanking me?
309
00:24:20.377 --> 00:24:21.587
Uh, sorry.
310
00:24:21.670 --> 00:24:24.710
And you're sorry because...?
311
00:24:24.798 --> 00:24:27.508
I'm... just going to sit...
312
00:25:17.142 --> 00:25:19.942
Dear Olivia,
313
00:25:20.020 --> 00:25:24.690
You think I've spurned you because of
what happened in the car the other night.
314
00:25:24.774 --> 00:25:29.324
As I explained, it's because nothing approaching
that has ever happened to me before.
315
00:25:30.780 --> 00:25:33.030
Just as no girl has ever
said to me anything
316
00:25:33.116 --> 00:25:37.116
resembling what you said
to me in the library tonight.
317
00:25:37.203 --> 00:25:39.873
You are different
from anyone I've known,
318
00:25:39.956 --> 00:25:43.876
and the last thing you could
ever be called is a slut.
319
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:46.550
You're mature.
You're beautiful.
320
00:25:47.255 --> 00:25:50.795
You are vastly more
experienced than I am.
321
00:25:50.884 --> 00:25:52.974
That's what threw me.
322
00:25:53.053 --> 00:25:55.183
Forgive me.
323
00:25:55.263 --> 00:25:56.973
Say hello
to me in class.
324
00:26:04.397 --> 00:26:07.107
You fucker!
Oh, I'm not the slut.
325
00:26:19.537 --> 00:26:21.157
It's no fun
being in the hospital alone.
326
00:26:21.247 --> 00:26:23.327
I brought these over
to keep you company.
327
00:26:23.416 --> 00:26:25.536
It was worth
the appendicitis.
328
00:26:25.627 --> 00:26:27.207
I doubt it.
329
00:26:29.381 --> 00:26:30.971
Were you
in a lot of pain?
330
00:26:31.049 --> 00:26:34.759
For about an hour or so
before I blacked out.
331
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:38.680
The best part came
in Dean Caudwell's office.
332
00:26:38.765 --> 00:26:41.015
He called me in to grill me
about changing my dorm
333
00:26:41.101 --> 00:26:44.401
I puked all over his trophies.
Then you turn up.
334
00:26:44.479 --> 00:26:47.689
It's been a great case
of appendicitis all around.
335
00:26:47.774 --> 00:26:50.284
Let me get something
to put these in.
336
00:26:54.364 --> 00:26:57.744
Escargot. It's the name
of the restaurant.
337
00:26:57.826 --> 00:26:59.116
Snails...
338
00:26:59.202 --> 00:27:03.752
I have a feeling Marcus Messner has
never seen them served or eaten before.
339
00:27:03.832 --> 00:27:05.462
You want to try one?
340
00:27:05.542 --> 00:27:06.922
No.
Not really.
341
00:27:07.001 --> 00:27:10.051
So Marcus Messner decided
to take Olivia Hutton
342
00:27:10.130 --> 00:27:13.970
to the only fancy French restaurant
in all of Franklin County.
343
00:27:14.050 --> 00:27:17.890
I'm so sorry. Do you want to leave?
Is this alright?
344
00:27:32.777 --> 00:27:36.737
May I please speak
to Miss Olivia Hutton?
345
00:27:38.700 --> 00:27:39.700
Who?
346
00:27:39.784 --> 00:27:43.374
Oh, Marcus Messner.
347
00:27:43.455 --> 00:27:45.325
Yeah. Yeah sure, I'll wait.
348
00:27:48.585 --> 00:27:49.745
Can I leave a message?
349
00:27:52.964 --> 00:27:55.594
Well, yeah, another message.
350
00:28:04.684 --> 00:28:07.154
I don't mind talking about it.
They got divorced.
351
00:28:07.228 --> 00:28:09.478
Irreconcilable differences.
352
00:28:09.564 --> 00:28:13.194
I suppose that's why I left Mt. Holyoke
and transferred here closer to Cleveland.
353
00:28:13.276 --> 00:28:16.276
My mother kept the house,
but she changed all the furnishings.
354
00:28:16.362 --> 00:28:17.412
Even my room.
355
00:28:17.489 --> 00:28:19.409
It now looks like
Marie Antoinette's boudoir,
356
00:28:19.491 --> 00:28:23.451
if Marie Antoinette were a slightly crazed suburban
woman who wished she were still a teenager.
357
00:28:25.455 --> 00:28:26.655
Oh.
358
00:28:29.042 --> 00:28:30.252
Thank you.
359
00:28:31.211 --> 00:28:32.251
Thank you.
360
00:28:34.589 --> 00:28:35.629
Hey...
361
00:28:38.259 --> 00:28:42.309
Relax.
You're so intense.
362
00:28:44.057 --> 00:28:45.677
Trust me,
I'm trying.
363
00:28:47.894 --> 00:28:49.854
Tell me more.
364
00:28:49.938 --> 00:28:51.148
Not about your classes,
365
00:28:51.231 --> 00:28:53.191
or why General MacArthur
is insubordinate,
366
00:28:53.274 --> 00:28:54.534
or why you're an atheist.
367
00:28:54.609 --> 00:28:57.819
Though you have to admit I got all of
that out of you in a mere 20 minutes.
368
00:28:57.904 --> 00:29:00.007
Pretty good seeing as I don't
believe you've spoken to anyone
369
00:29:00.031 --> 00:29:02.831
for more than 40 seconds since you
got to Winesburg, am I right?
370
00:29:02.909 --> 00:29:04.539
Yeah. Yeah,
you're right.
371
00:29:04.619 --> 00:29:06.289
I want to hear
all about your mother,
372
00:29:06.996 --> 00:29:08.098
and your father the butcher,
373
00:29:08.122 --> 00:29:09.882
and what it's like working
in a butcher shop,
374
00:29:09.958 --> 00:29:12.668
and what the girls
were like in Newark.
375
00:29:12.752 --> 00:29:16.092
Okay. But first, you're going to
have to eat all those snails.
376
00:29:16.172 --> 00:29:19.512
Oh, you think I ordered
these just to spite you?
377
00:29:19.592 --> 00:29:21.262
I actually love escargot.
378
00:29:25.265 --> 00:29:28.385
Alright... let me try one.
379
00:29:28.476 --> 00:29:31.266
How do you do this?
This one here.
380
00:29:32.397 --> 00:29:33.647
This big guy.
381
00:29:33.731 --> 00:29:35.611
Oooh, okay.
382
00:29:38.528 --> 00:29:39.818
And?
383
00:29:41.781 --> 00:29:43.491
It's chewy.
384
00:29:43.575 --> 00:29:45.485
But good.
Very good.
385
00:29:45.577 --> 00:29:48.287
You grew up
eating these at home?
386
00:29:48.371 --> 00:29:51.541
No, just at places like these.
387
00:29:51.624 --> 00:29:54.094
My mother insisted;
part of my education.
388
00:29:54.168 --> 00:29:58.758
So what'd
your father think?
389
00:29:58.840 --> 00:30:01.220
He's a steak and potatoes man.
He never approved.
390
00:30:01.301 --> 00:30:07.181
Maybe being a doctor, he thought
that snails were unclean.
391
00:30:08.808 --> 00:30:11.438
Or simply un-American.
392
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:13.899
But perhaps
you're onto something, Marcus.
393
00:30:13.980 --> 00:30:15.730
My father
washes his hands.
394
00:30:15.815 --> 00:30:19.145
He's always washing his hands.
He washes them all the time.
395
00:30:19.235 --> 00:30:20.775
Why?
396
00:30:20.862 --> 00:30:23.112
Well, because they're dirty,
of course.
397
00:30:49.390 --> 00:30:52.390
It's 55 minutes to curfew.
In case you were wondering.
398
00:31:05.615 --> 00:31:07.525
Make a left at the next street.
399
00:32:32.785 --> 00:32:34.115
What happened next
400
00:32:34.203 --> 00:32:36.583
I puzzled over
for weeks afterwards.
401
00:32:37.665 --> 00:32:41.705
Trying to reconstruct the morals
that reigned over Winesburg College,
402
00:32:43.129 --> 00:32:46.339
and I wonder how my own sorry
efforts to overcome those morals
403
00:32:46.424 --> 00:32:50.684
may have fostered so much
misunderstanding, even grief.
404
00:32:50.762 --> 00:32:52.602
Ahhh!
405
00:33:14.952 --> 00:33:18.752
Even now I continue
to puzzle over Olivia's actions.
406
00:33:19.749 --> 00:33:22.789
Hers, and maybe
even more so, mine.
407
00:33:26.005 --> 00:33:29.425
I told myself, "It's because
her parents are divorced."
408
00:33:29.509 --> 00:33:33.299
I could think of no other explanation
for a mystery so profound.
409
00:33:35.681 --> 00:33:38.851
Because in Newark,
410
00:33:38.935 --> 00:33:43.515
it was inconceivable that girls like
Olivia Hutton could do such a thing,
411
00:33:43.606 --> 00:33:45.266
but then again,
412
00:33:45.358 --> 00:33:48.528
there were no girls
like Olivia Hutton in Newark.
413
00:34:23.479 --> 00:34:26.899
Thanks for the loan.
414
00:34:26.983 --> 00:34:29.573
How'd she run?
Hm?
415
00:34:29.652 --> 00:34:32.242
Oh. Oh, yeah, great.
Thank you.
416
00:34:32.321 --> 00:34:33.571
She should of.
417
00:34:33.656 --> 00:34:36.446
Next I'm going to be working
on the suspension.
418
00:34:36.534 --> 00:34:37.914
It's pretty good, though, huh?
419
00:34:37.994 --> 00:34:39.544
Yeah.
420
00:34:46.002 --> 00:34:48.422
She blew me.
She what?
421
00:34:50.715 --> 00:34:51.795
Oh.
422
00:34:54.135 --> 00:34:57.595
I didn't even ask her for it.
She just did it.
423
00:35:00.308 --> 00:35:03.188
Did you ever hear of anything
like that ever happening?
424
00:35:04.812 --> 00:35:06.062
Nope.
425
00:35:06.147 --> 00:35:10.527
Huh. I think it's because
her parents are divorced.
426
00:35:12.278 --> 00:35:13.528
Did she tell you that?
427
00:35:13.613 --> 00:35:15.493
No.
428
00:35:15.573 --> 00:35:18.333
I'm just guessing.
429
00:35:18.409 --> 00:35:20.619
She just did it.
430
00:35:21.495 --> 00:35:22.705
We parked
near the cemetery...
431
00:35:22.788 --> 00:35:25.538
Okay. Okay. Well,
I'm very happy for you.
432
00:35:25.625 --> 00:35:28.125
But if you don't mind,
I've got some work to do here.
433
00:35:28.210 --> 00:35:29.630
Oh, yeah sure. Sure.
434
00:35:30.171 --> 00:35:32.971
Just thank you for the car. It wouldn't
have happened without the car.
435
00:35:33.049 --> 00:35:35.009
Yeah. You're welcome.
436
00:35:39.138 --> 00:35:43.768
She must have done it before,
don't you think?
437
00:35:43.851 --> 00:35:45.101
Could be.
438
00:35:45.186 --> 00:35:48.806
Huh. I really don't know
what to make of it.
439
00:35:48.898 --> 00:35:51.028
That's clear.
440
00:35:55.363 --> 00:35:57.323
You think I should
see her again?
441
00:35:57.406 --> 00:35:59.276
Up to you.
442
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.300
So we understand
you met the Cottler boy.
443
00:36:15.383 --> 00:36:17.223
Esther, what's his name?
444
00:36:17.301 --> 00:36:18.391
Sonny.
445
00:36:18.469 --> 00:36:22.429
Donald Cottler, Donald Cottler,
but they call him Sonny.
446
00:36:22.515 --> 00:36:24.225
His aunt lives
here in Newark.
447
00:36:24.308 --> 00:36:27.398
When we said where you were, she told
us that her maiden name was Cottler,
448
00:36:27.478 --> 00:36:30.648
and her brother's family
lives in Cleveland,
449
00:36:30.731 --> 00:36:32.941
and her nephew goes
to the same college
450
00:36:33.025 --> 00:36:35.605
and is president
of the Jewish Fraternity
451
00:36:35.695 --> 00:36:37.985
and captain
of the basketball team.
452
00:36:38.072 --> 00:36:39.492
And something else.
What else?
453
00:36:39.573 --> 00:36:41.953
President of the Greeks...
the Greek system council.
454
00:36:42.034 --> 00:36:44.164
Right, right, right.
President of the council.
455
00:36:44.245 --> 00:36:47.415
Imagine that, a Jew,
president of the Greeks.
456
00:36:47.498 --> 00:36:50.498
Oh, yeah. Sonny. Yeah, right.
He came around.
457
00:36:50.584 --> 00:36:52.344
So what did he tell you?
458
00:36:52.420 --> 00:36:54.670
He made a pitch
for his fraternity.
459
00:36:54.755 --> 00:36:57.545
And? I said I
wasn't interested.
460
00:36:57.633 --> 00:37:00.893
But his aunt says
he's a wonderful boy.
461
00:37:00.970 --> 00:37:02.260
All A's like you.
462
00:37:02.346 --> 00:37:04.716
And a very handsome boy,
I understand.
463
00:37:04.807 --> 00:37:07.227
Extremely handsome.
A dreamboat.
464
00:37:07.309 --> 00:37:09.059
What's that
supposed to mean?
465
00:37:09.145 --> 00:37:12.305
Dad, please stop sending
people to visit me.
466
00:37:12.398 --> 00:37:13.978
But you're there
all by yourself.
467
00:37:14.066 --> 00:37:15.936
Dad, I can't take
any more of this.
468
00:37:16.027 --> 00:37:17.587
But how do I know what's
going on with you?
469
00:37:17.611 --> 00:37:19.361
You could be doing anything.
470
00:37:19.447 --> 00:37:22.527
I do one thing.
I go to classes and I study.
471
00:37:22.616 --> 00:37:24.736
And I make 18 bucks
a week at the library.
472
00:37:24.827 --> 00:37:27.037
And what's wrong with
making some friends?
473
00:37:27.121 --> 00:37:29.291
Some Jewish friends?
474
00:37:29.373 --> 00:37:32.713
I... I gotta go.
Marcus!
475
00:37:32.793 --> 00:37:35.003
I'm hanging up...
Marcus!
476
00:38:18.089 --> 00:38:19.509
Hello, Marc.
477
00:38:19.590 --> 00:38:20.380
Oh...
478
00:38:20.466 --> 00:38:22.256
Olivia.
Hi.
479
00:38:24.637 --> 00:38:26.887
I did that because
I liked you so much.
480
00:38:26.972 --> 00:38:30.272
Um, um, um, pardon?
481
00:38:30.351 --> 00:38:32.901
I said I did that
because I liked you.
482
00:38:34.146 --> 00:38:36.316
I know
you can't figure it out.
483
00:38:36.398 --> 00:38:38.028
I know it's why
I haven't heard from you
484
00:38:38.109 --> 00:38:39.689
and why you ignored
me in class.
485
00:38:39.777 --> 00:38:41.567
So I'm figuring it
out for you.
486
00:38:41.695 --> 00:38:45.315
Any other mysteries?
No, no, that's okay.
487
00:38:45.407 --> 00:38:49.077
No. It's not okay.
488
00:38:49.161 --> 00:38:51.791
It's not okay with you.
489
00:38:51.872 --> 00:38:53.292
You know,
490
00:38:53.374 --> 00:38:56.794
I liked your seriousness,
I liked your maturity at dinner
491
00:38:56.877 --> 00:38:58.957
or what I took
to be maturity.
492
00:38:59.046 --> 00:39:01.626
I made a joke about it,
but I liked your intensity.
493
00:39:01.715 --> 00:39:05.795
I never met anyone
so intense before.
494
00:39:05.886 --> 00:39:08.966
I liked your looks,
Marcus, I still do.
495
00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:13.309
It's just that I've um...
496
00:39:13.394 --> 00:39:18.194
Never...
497
00:39:18.274 --> 00:39:22.534
Did you ever do that
with somebody else?
498
00:39:22.611 --> 00:39:25.491
I did.
499
00:39:25.573 --> 00:39:29.333
So no one's
ever done it with you.
500
00:39:29.410 --> 00:39:30.490
Not even close.
501
00:39:30.578 --> 00:39:32.538
So now you think
I'm a slut.
502
00:39:33.414 --> 00:39:35.794
I... No. Absolutely not.
503
00:39:35.875 --> 00:39:37.495
You're lying.
504
00:39:37.585 --> 00:39:40.165
That's why you won't speak to me.
Because I'm a slut.
505
00:39:40.254 --> 00:39:41.764
But you did
do it before...
506
00:39:41.881 --> 00:39:44.221
This was the second time. But
that doesn't make you a slut.
507
00:39:44.300 --> 00:39:46.010
I was at Mt. Holyoke.
508
00:39:46.093 --> 00:39:48.053
I was at a party at Amherst.
I was drunk.
509
00:39:48.137 --> 00:39:50.427
The whole thing was awful.
I didn't know anything.
510
00:39:50.514 --> 00:39:52.184
And I was drinking all the time.
511
00:39:52.266 --> 00:39:56.016
It's why I transferred.
They suspended me.
512
00:39:56.103 --> 00:39:58.443
I spent three months
at a clinic drying out.
513
00:39:58.522 --> 00:39:59.822
I don't drink anymore.
514
00:39:59.899 --> 00:40:03.149
I don't drink anything alcoholic
and I won't ever again.
515
00:40:03.235 --> 00:40:05.395
This time with you
I wasn't drunk.
516
00:40:05.487 --> 00:40:07.567
I wasn't drunk
and I wasn't crazy.
517
00:40:07.656 --> 00:40:09.576
I wanted to do it to you
not because I'm a slut
518
00:40:09.658 --> 00:40:11.738
but because I wanted
to do it to you.
519
00:40:11.827 --> 00:40:14.207
Can't you understand that I
wanted to give you that?
520
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:20.210
I think so.
I'm trying. Really.
521
00:40:22.129 --> 00:40:23.339
But you can't.
522
00:40:25.674 --> 00:40:27.434
God, what is wrong
with you?
523
00:40:36.060 --> 00:40:37.980
I used the razor
when I was drunk.
524
00:40:39.188 --> 00:40:41.568
If I had been sober
I would have succeeded.
525
00:40:41.649 --> 00:40:43.979
So three cheers
for ten rye and gingers...
526
00:40:44.068 --> 00:40:46.278
they're why I'm alive today.
527
00:40:48.948 --> 00:40:51.908
That, and my incapacity
to carry anything out.
528
00:40:53.202 --> 00:40:55.122
Even suicide is beyond me.
529
00:40:58.165 --> 00:41:00.165
I don't regret doing what we did,
530
00:41:00.251 --> 00:41:02.461
but we mustn't do anything more.
531
00:41:04.171 --> 00:41:07.881
Forget about me, Marcus.
There's no one around here like you.
532
00:41:07.967 --> 00:41:12.217
You are not a simple soul
and have no business being here.
533
00:41:12.304 --> 00:41:17.694
If you survive the squareness of this
place, you'll have a sterling future.
534
00:41:17.768 --> 00:41:21.148
Why did you come
to Winesburg to begin with?
535
00:41:21.230 --> 00:41:23.070
I came
because it's so square.
536
00:41:23.148 --> 00:41:25.648
That's supposed to make me
a normal girl.
537
00:41:26.819 --> 00:41:30.659
But you? You should be studying
philosophy at the Sorbonne
538
00:41:30.739 --> 00:41:33.619
and living in a garret
in Montparnasse.
539
00:41:33.701 --> 00:41:36.411
We both should.
540
00:41:36.495 --> 00:41:40.165
Farewell, beauticious man.
Olivia.
541
00:42:04.898 --> 00:42:08.778
Olivia! You
forgot your allowance.
542
00:42:10.529 --> 00:42:12.239
I will see you
at Thanksgiving.
543
00:42:12.323 --> 00:42:13.873
Your mother will join us.
544
00:42:40.059 --> 00:42:42.479
Ah. What employment have we here?
545
00:42:42.561 --> 00:42:45.481
Please, no Shakespeare
rehearsal tonight.
546
00:42:50.277 --> 00:42:52.647
Hey!
By my life,
547
00:42:52.738 --> 00:42:54.618
this is my lady's hand.
548
00:42:54.698 --> 00:42:57.528
These be her very C's,
her U's and her T's
549
00:42:57.618 --> 00:42:59.538
thus makes she her.
550
00:43:01.789 --> 00:43:03.169
'To the unknown beloved, this,
551
00:43:03.248 --> 00:43:05.748
and my good wishes:'
her very phrases!
552
00:43:05.834 --> 00:43:11.514
By your leave, wax. Soft! and the impressure her
Lucrece, with which she uses to seal: 'tis my lady.
553
00:43:11.590 --> 00:43:13.090
To whom should this be?
554
00:43:13.175 --> 00:43:14.965
Jove knows I love: But who?
555
00:43:15.052 --> 00:43:17.552
Lips, do not move;
no man must know.
556
00:43:17.638 --> 00:43:19.008
God damn it, Flusser!
557
00:43:19.098 --> 00:43:20.678
'No man must know.'
558
00:43:20.766 --> 00:43:22.346
What follows?
The numbers altered!
559
00:43:22.434 --> 00:43:25.524
'No man must know:' unless
this should be thee, Malvolio?
560
00:43:28.816 --> 00:43:30.066
What the hell
is wrong with you?
561
00:43:30.150 --> 00:43:31.650
Hey, stop getting
all worked up.
562
00:43:31.735 --> 00:43:33.395
How about a little bit
of respect, huh?
563
00:43:33.487 --> 00:43:37.737
What? That's from the one
that blew you?
564
00:43:37.825 --> 00:43:39.155
In my car?
565
00:43:39.243 --> 00:43:41.333
How about respecting my car
566
00:43:41.412 --> 00:43:43.662
by not driving around
with some slut in it.
567
00:43:48.001 --> 00:43:50.051
Oh!
568
00:44:07.855 --> 00:44:11.225
You're in luck. There's
a vacancy in Neil Hall.
569
00:44:11.316 --> 00:44:13.936
Mrs. Burgess in Housing
can get you the key.
570
00:44:14.027 --> 00:44:16.237
It's rather... rustic.
571
00:44:16.321 --> 00:44:19.951
Oh, and you will need to schedule
a chat with Dean Caudwell.
572
00:44:20.033 --> 00:44:22.703
He likes to be informed
of these kinds of changes.
573
00:44:22.786 --> 00:44:26.496
Can you come by Monday,
say, 2:30?
574
00:44:26.915 --> 00:44:28.535
Sure.
575
00:44:44.516 --> 00:44:48.476
Volunteers are still needed
for Homecoming Weekend.
576
00:44:50.063 --> 00:44:52.073
As you know,
last year's defeat
577
00:44:52.149 --> 00:44:54.819
at the hands
of the College of Wooster
578
00:44:54.902 --> 00:44:58.112
broke a winning streak
that will require,
579
00:44:58.197 --> 00:45:00.777
shall we say,
all hands on deck.
580
00:45:00.866 --> 00:45:08.116
I speak on behalf of Coach
Blauvelt when I say
581
00:45:08.207 --> 00:45:13.247
the bulldog bite can only be
commensurate with the bulldog bark.
582
00:45:13.337 --> 00:45:18.297
All of us
are responsible...
583
00:45:46.578 --> 00:45:48.458
Olivia.
Olivia. Please.
584
00:45:48.539 --> 00:45:50.119
Yes, Marcus?
585
00:45:52.334 --> 00:45:56.174
If... if you could just...
586
00:45:57.631 --> 00:46:00.471
sit next to me again
in class.
587
00:46:00.551 --> 00:46:02.141
It would really help
me concentrate.
588
00:46:03.845 --> 00:46:07.215
It's harder when you're behind me,
I keep wanting to turn around.
589
00:46:10.269 --> 00:46:11.689
Okay. Maybe.
590
00:46:14.314 --> 00:46:15.654
Alright. Thank you.
591
00:46:17.359 --> 00:46:18.989
I heard you moved rooms.
592
00:46:21.613 --> 00:46:27.413
Yeah. I had a disagreement
with my roommates.
593
00:46:28.328 --> 00:46:29.538
I moved to Neil Hall.
594
00:46:31.790 --> 00:46:34.080
You weren't
in Chapel yesterday.
595
00:46:34.167 --> 00:46:36.837
I just needed a break.
596
00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:38.840
I don't know how much more of Dr.
Donehower
597
00:46:38.922 --> 00:46:42.052
going on about "Christ's
example" I can take.
598
00:46:42.134 --> 00:46:45.764
Maybe you could get some kind of
waiver for conscientious objection.
599
00:46:45.846 --> 00:46:47.926
Why is that?
Because I'm Jewish?
600
00:46:48.015 --> 00:46:50.326
I don't object because I'm
Jewish, I object I'm an atheist.
601
00:46:50.350 --> 00:46:51.810
I know.
602
00:46:56.481 --> 00:46:58.071
Thank you
for talking to me.
603
00:46:58.150 --> 00:47:02.400
If I talk to you again, maybe you won't
have to stand under my window all the time.
604
00:47:04.781 --> 00:47:07.491
Oh.
605
00:47:07.576 --> 00:47:09.366
Um...
606
00:47:09.453 --> 00:47:12.253
I, uh...
607
00:47:12.331 --> 00:47:15.291
You know, it's funny,
I don't actually know...
608
00:47:15.375 --> 00:47:16.785
which window is yours.
609
00:47:16.877 --> 00:47:21.337
I'm on the third floor, on the left,
facing the quad, just for the record.
610
00:47:22.466 --> 00:47:24.836
I rarely see you looking up.
611
00:47:24.926 --> 00:47:28.176
If you're not a Peeping Tom,
what's the point?
612
00:47:28.263 --> 00:47:31.063
It just makes
me feel as if...
613
00:47:33.935 --> 00:47:38.265
like I'm making...
sure you're okay.
614
00:47:38.357 --> 00:47:42.437
Oh, Marcus. I'm fine.
615
00:47:42.527 --> 00:47:45.027
It's you I'm worried about.
616
00:47:48.241 --> 00:47:49.911
You can come in now.
617
00:47:57.834 --> 00:47:58.884
Come on in.
618
00:48:10.055 --> 00:48:11.885
Marcus Messner.
619
00:48:14.726 --> 00:48:16.556
I wanted you to come in
so we could meet
620
00:48:16.645 --> 00:48:20.725
and find out if I could be of any help
to you in adjusting to Winesburg.
621
00:48:20.816 --> 00:48:25.316
I see by your transcript that
you're a remarkably gifted student.
622
00:48:25.404 --> 00:48:29.204
First in your family ever
to attend college.
623
00:48:29.282 --> 00:48:32.292
Captain of your baseball team
at high school.
624
00:48:32.369 --> 00:48:34.289
Scholarship from your temple.
625
00:48:34.371 --> 00:48:37.671
I wouldn't want anything
at Winesburg to interfere
626
00:48:37.749 --> 00:48:40.839
in the slightest with such a
stellar record of achievement.
627
00:48:40.919 --> 00:48:42.209
Neither do I, sir.
628
00:48:47.134 --> 00:48:51.224
Do you see any potential
difficulties on the horizon here?
629
00:48:51.304 --> 00:48:53.524
No, sir. I don't, sir.
630
00:48:53.598 --> 00:48:55.348
How are things
going with your classwork?
631
00:48:55.434 --> 00:48:57.604
You're getting all you hoped for
from your courses?
632
00:48:57.686 --> 00:48:59.726
Yes. Yes, sir.
633
00:48:59.813 --> 00:49:01.113
You're socializing enough?
634
00:49:01.189 --> 00:49:04.989
Yes. Yes, I am, sir.
635
00:49:13.034 --> 00:49:14.124
Thank you, sir.
636
00:49:16.830 --> 00:49:19.080
The only problem is that you
seem to have some trouble
637
00:49:19.166 --> 00:49:21.916
settling into dormitory life.
638
00:49:22.002 --> 00:49:24.092
Tell me, in your own words,
639
00:49:24.171 --> 00:49:25.461
what seems to be the trouble?
640
00:49:27.966 --> 00:49:29.886
I'm sorry.
Could you repeat your question, sir?
641
00:49:30.635 --> 00:49:32.715
Calm down, son.
Try a little more water.
642
00:49:36.183 --> 00:49:39.693
And no need to call me sir,
by the way.
643
00:49:39.770 --> 00:49:44.860
So... what was the problem
with your accommodations?
644
00:49:44.941 --> 00:49:48.111
In the room
to which I was assigned
645
00:49:48.195 --> 00:49:50.565
one of my roommates
646
00:49:50.655 --> 00:49:53.575
Would always play the
phonograph after I went to bed
647
00:49:53.658 --> 00:49:57.448
and I was not able to get
a good night's sleep.
648
00:49:57.537 --> 00:49:59.457
I need my sleep
in order to do my work.
649
00:49:59.539 --> 00:50:03.539
The situation
was... insupportable.
650
00:50:03.627 --> 00:50:05.587
But couldn't you sit down
and work out a time
651
00:50:05.670 --> 00:50:09.760
for his playing the phonograph that
was agreeable to the two of you?
652
00:50:09.841 --> 00:50:13.011
You had to move out?
There was no other choice?
653
00:50:13.094 --> 00:50:15.224
I had to move out.
654
00:50:15.305 --> 00:50:17.425
No way of reaching
a compromise.
655
00:50:17.516 --> 00:50:20.596
Did you seek the support
of your other roommate?
656
00:50:20.685 --> 00:50:22.935
There was no compromise
with him, sir.
657
00:50:23.021 --> 00:50:25.071
And my other roommate
was not sympathetic.
658
00:50:25.148 --> 00:50:28.438
Are you often unable to reach
a compromise with people
659
00:50:28.527 --> 00:50:29.947
whom you don't see
eye to eye with?
660
00:50:30.028 --> 00:50:31.658
I wouldn't say often, sir.
661
00:50:31.738 --> 00:50:34.318
I wouldn't say that anything
like this has happened before.
662
00:50:34.407 --> 00:50:37.077
Really, Marcus, you don't have
to do that, calling me sir.
663
00:50:37.160 --> 00:50:40.160
Call me Dean Caudwell, or
call me Dean, if you like.
664
00:50:40.247 --> 00:50:42.747
Winesburg isn't
a military academy.
665
00:50:43.416 --> 00:50:45.786
I don't mind
calling you "sir", Dean.
666
00:50:46.545 --> 00:50:49.625
It says here your father
is a kosher butcher.
667
00:50:49.714 --> 00:50:51.934
No. No, it does not.
668
00:50:52.008 --> 00:50:54.968
I remember just writing
down just 'butcher.'
669
00:50:55.053 --> 00:50:57.183
That's what I'd write
down on any form.
670
00:50:57.264 --> 00:50:59.524
Well, that's what
you did write.
671
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:03.349
I'm merely assuming
that he's a kosher butcher.
672
00:51:03.436 --> 00:51:05.686
He is. But that is
not what I wrote down.
673
00:51:05.772 --> 00:51:08.072
I acknowledged that.
674
00:51:08.149 --> 00:51:10.649
But it's not inaccurate,
is it?
675
00:51:10.735 --> 00:51:14.775
To identify him more precisely
as a kosher butcher?
676
00:51:14.865 --> 00:51:17.325
But neither is what
I wrote down inaccurate, sir.
677
00:51:17.409 --> 00:51:22.459
I'd be curious to know why you
didn't write down 'kosher, ' Marcus.
678
00:51:22.539 --> 00:51:24.959
Sir, if you are asking me
if I was trying to hide
679
00:51:25.041 --> 00:51:28.461
the religion into which
I was born, the answer is no.
680
00:51:28.545 --> 00:51:31.755
Well, I certainly hope that's so.
681
00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:33.840
I'm glad to hear that.
682
00:51:34.551 --> 00:51:38.391
Everyone has a right to openly
practice his own faith,
683
00:51:38.471 --> 00:51:42.681
and that holds true at Winesburg just as
it does everywhere else in this country.
684
00:51:42.767 --> 00:51:45.057
On the other hand,
685
00:51:45.145 --> 00:51:48.605
under 'religious preference'
I see you didn't write 'Jewish, '
686
00:51:48.690 --> 00:51:50.860
though you are
of Jewish extraction
687
00:51:50.942 --> 00:51:53.822
and, in accordance with the college's
attempt to assist students
688
00:51:53.904 --> 00:51:55.704
in residing
with others of the same faith,
689
00:51:55.780 --> 00:51:59.660
you were assigned
Jewish roommates.
690
00:51:59.743 --> 00:52:02.333
I didn't write anything
under religious preference, sir.
691
00:52:02.412 --> 00:52:05.752
I can see that.
I'm wondering why that is.
692
00:52:05.832 --> 00:52:08.922
It's because I have none.
693
00:52:09.002 --> 00:52:12.802
I don't prefer to practice
one religion over another.
694
00:52:12.881 --> 00:52:16.721
What then provides you
with spiritual sustenance?
695
00:52:16.801 --> 00:52:19.931
To whom do you pray
when you need solace?
696
00:52:20.013 --> 00:52:21.683
I don't need solace, sir.
697
00:52:22.515 --> 00:52:26.435
I don't believe in God
and I don't believe in prayer.
698
00:52:26.519 --> 00:52:30.939
I am sustained by what is real.
Praying, to me, is preposterous.
699
00:52:31.024 --> 00:52:35.654
Is it now?
And yet so many millions do it.
700
00:52:35.737 --> 00:52:39.277
Millions once thought
the earth was flat, sir.
701
00:52:39.366 --> 00:52:41.366
Yes, that's true.
But may I ask you, Marcus,
702
00:52:41.451 --> 00:52:45.871
merely out of curiosity,
how do you get by in life...
703
00:52:45.956 --> 00:52:49.916
filled as life is inevitably
with trials and tribulations
704
00:52:50.001 --> 00:52:51.881
lacking spiritual guidance?
705
00:52:51.962 --> 00:52:53.252
I get straight A's, sir.
706
00:52:53.338 --> 00:52:56.588
I didn't ask about your grades.
707
00:52:57.008 --> 00:52:58.588
I know your grades.
708
00:52:58.677 --> 00:53:00.277
You have every right
to be proud of them,
709
00:53:00.345 --> 00:53:01.505
as I've already told you.
710
00:53:01.596 --> 00:53:03.596
Well, then you know
the answer to your question
711
00:53:03.682 --> 00:53:05.432
of how I get by just fine.
712
00:53:05.517 --> 00:53:09.437
Well, if I may say so, it doesn't look
to me like you get along just fine.
713
00:53:09.521 --> 00:53:12.151
It seems to me as soon as there's
a difference of opinion,
714
00:53:12.232 --> 00:53:13.532
you pick up and leave.
715
00:53:13.608 --> 00:53:16.528
Is there a problem with finding
a solution in quietly leaving?
716
00:53:16.611 --> 00:53:18.991
But look
where you've wound up...
717
00:53:19.072 --> 00:53:22.492
in the least desirable room
on the entire campus.
718
00:53:22.575 --> 00:53:25.285
Frankly, I don't like the idea
of you up there alone.
719
00:53:25.370 --> 00:53:28.830
But I did not end up there because
of lack of religious beliefs, sir,
720
00:53:28.915 --> 00:53:32.705
if that is what you are
suggesting in a roundabout way.
721
00:53:32.794 --> 00:53:33.964
Why is it, then?
722
00:53:35.839 --> 00:53:37.759
As I explained
to you before,
723
00:53:37.841 --> 00:53:40.471
the living arrangements
I was given were intolerable.
724
00:53:40.552 --> 00:53:44.262
Tolerance appears to be something
of a problem for you, young man.
725
00:53:44.347 --> 00:53:47.137
I've never heard that
said about me before, sir.
726
00:53:47.225 --> 00:53:50.435
There appear to be several things you've
never heard about yourself before.
727
00:53:50.520 --> 00:53:53.060
But before, you were living
at home,
728
00:53:53.148 --> 00:53:56.108
in the bosom
of your childhood family.
729
00:53:56.192 --> 00:53:59.492
Now you are living
at Winesburg as an adult,
730
00:53:59.571 --> 00:54:01.871
and aside
from mastering your studies
731
00:54:01.948 --> 00:54:05.078
your task is to learn
how to get along with people
732
00:54:05.160 --> 00:54:10.120
and to extend tolerance to those who
may not be carbon copies of yourself.
733
00:54:10.206 --> 00:54:14.336
Tolerance? How about extending
some tolerance to me, sir?
734
00:54:15.211 --> 00:54:18.301
I don't mean to be brash
or insolent
735
00:54:18.381 --> 00:54:23.301
but what exactly is the crime I
have committed? Here? Today?
736
00:54:24.095 --> 00:54:25.385
So I've switched rooms.
737
00:54:25.472 --> 00:54:28.182
Is that considered a crime
here at Winesburg?
738
00:54:28.266 --> 00:54:30.016
Has anyone said
it is a crime?
739
00:54:30.727 --> 00:54:34.267
You display a fondness
for dramatic exaggeration.
740
00:54:34.355 --> 00:54:36.065
It doesn't serve you well.
741
00:54:36.149 --> 00:54:39.399
It is a characteristic
you might want to reflect upon.
742
00:54:39.486 --> 00:54:42.656
Now tell me, how do you get
along with your family?
743
00:54:42.739 --> 00:54:46.329
I see from the form here,
you also have no siblings,
744
00:54:46.409 --> 00:54:48.369
so it's just you
and your parents at home,
745
00:54:48.453 --> 00:54:51.043
if I'm to take what you've
written here to be accurate.
746
00:54:51.122 --> 00:54:53.712
Why wouldn't it
be accurate?
747
00:54:53.792 --> 00:54:56.342
I was accurate when I wrote
down my father is a butcher.
748
00:54:56.419 --> 00:54:57.589
He is a butcher.
749
00:54:57.670 --> 00:55:00.380
It isn't I alone who would
describe him as a butcher.
750
00:55:00.465 --> 00:55:03.335
He would describe
himself as a butcher.
751
00:55:03.426 --> 00:55:06.756
You described him as a kosher butcher.
Which is fine.
752
00:55:06.846 --> 00:55:09.386
But that's not grounds for
intimating that I've been in any way
753
00:55:09.516 --> 00:55:11.806
inaccurate in filling out...
If I may interrupt, Marcus.
754
00:55:11.893 --> 00:55:15.193
How do you three get along,
from your perspective?
755
00:55:15.271 --> 00:55:16.821
That's the question I asked.
756
00:55:16.898 --> 00:55:19.818
You, your mother, and your father:
how do you get along?
757
00:55:19.901 --> 00:55:21.991
A straight answer, please.
758
00:55:27.617 --> 00:55:30.367
My mother and I get along perfectly well.
We always have.
759
00:55:31.788 --> 00:55:34.248
So have my father and I
for most of my life.
760
00:55:38.711 --> 00:55:40.261
From my last year
at grade school
761
00:55:40.338 --> 00:55:43.418
until I moved to Winesburg
762
00:55:43.508 --> 00:55:46.218
I worked part time
for him at the shop.
763
00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:50.639
We were as close as
father and son could be.
764
00:55:53.017 --> 00:55:55.767
Of late there's been
some strain between us.
765
00:55:55.854 --> 00:55:58.524
Strain over what,
may I ask?
766
00:55:58.606 --> 00:56:03.486
He's been unnecessarily
worried about my independence.
767
00:56:03.570 --> 00:56:09.370
I think it has to do with many of my
cousins having died in the last war.
768
00:56:09.450 --> 00:56:13.910
You say unnecessarily worried about
you because he has no reason to be?
769
00:56:13.997 --> 00:56:14.997
None at all.
770
00:56:15.081 --> 00:56:18.711
Is he worried, for instance,
about your inability
771
00:56:18.793 --> 00:56:21.673
to adjust to your roommates
here at Winesburg?
772
00:56:21.754 --> 00:56:24.884
I have not told him
about my roommates.
773
00:56:24.966 --> 00:56:26.626
I did not think
it was important.
774
00:56:26.718 --> 00:56:31.888
Nor is 'inability to adjust' a proper
way to describe the difficulty, sir.
775
00:56:32.974 --> 00:56:36.944
I do not want to be distracted from
my studies by superfluous problems.
776
00:56:37.020 --> 00:56:39.560
I wouldn't consider your having
to move out of your room
777
00:56:39.647 --> 00:56:41.267
a superfluous problem,
778
00:56:41.357 --> 00:56:45.487
and neither would your father, I'm sure,
if he were apprised of the situation
779
00:56:45.570 --> 00:56:48.530
as he has every right to be,
by the way.
780
00:56:48.615 --> 00:56:51.525
But be that as it may...
781
00:56:51.618 --> 00:56:55.248
have you gone on any dates
since you've been to Winesburg?
782
00:56:55.330 --> 00:56:57.830
Uh, dates?
783
00:56:57.916 --> 00:57:00.536
Dates.
784
00:57:00.627 --> 00:57:02.877
Uh. Yes. Yes, I have.
785
00:57:02.962 --> 00:57:07.382
A few? Some? Many?
786
00:57:07.467 --> 00:57:09.547
One.
787
00:57:09.636 --> 00:57:11.096
Just one?
788
00:57:13.097 --> 00:57:15.347
Sir! I object to being
interrogated like this!
789
00:57:15.433 --> 00:57:17.193
I do not see
the purpose of it.
790
00:57:17.268 --> 00:57:19.018
These are
my own private affairs,
791
00:57:19.103 --> 00:57:23.443
as is my religious life and my
social life and how I conduct it.
792
00:57:23.524 --> 00:57:26.994
I have broken no laws, I've
caused no one injury or harm,
793
00:57:27.070 --> 00:57:32.030
and in no way have my actions
impinged on anyone's rights.
794
00:57:32.116 --> 00:57:34.536
If anyone's rights have been
impinged on they are mine.
795
00:57:34.619 --> 00:57:36.499
Sit down please,
and explain yourself.
796
00:57:36.579 --> 00:57:40.289
I also object to having to
attend chapel forty times
797
00:57:40.375 --> 00:57:42.455
before I graduate in
order to earn a degree.
798
00:57:42.543 --> 00:57:44.553
I do not see where the
college has the right
799
00:57:44.629 --> 00:57:48.259
to force me to listen to a
clergyman of whatever faith,
800
00:57:48.341 --> 00:57:51.841
even once, or listen
to a Christian hymn
801
00:57:51.928 --> 00:57:53.758
invoking the Christian deity,
802
00:57:53.846 --> 00:57:56.676
given that I am an atheist
who is, to be truthful,
803
00:57:56.766 --> 00:58:00.436
deeply offended by the practices
of organized religion.
804
00:58:00.520 --> 00:58:02.400
I am altogether capable
805
00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:05.070
of leading a moral existence
without crediting beliefs
806
00:58:05.149 --> 00:58:07.739
that are impossible to
substantiate and beyond credulity.
807
00:58:08.695 --> 00:58:11.985
I take it you are familiar,
Dean Caudwell,
808
00:58:12.073 --> 00:58:13.873
with the writings
of Bertrand Russell.
809
00:58:15.118 --> 00:58:17.368
Bertrand Russell,
the distinguished
810
00:58:17.453 --> 00:58:20.753
mathematician and philosopher,
was last year's recipient
811
00:58:20.832 --> 00:58:23.132
of the Nobel Prize
in Literature.
812
00:58:23.209 --> 00:58:26.249
The work of literature in which
he was awarded the Nobel Prize is
813
00:58:26.337 --> 00:58:29.757
his widely read essay entitled
"Why I Am Not a Christian."
814
00:58:29.841 --> 00:58:31.431
Are you familiar
with this essay, sir?
815
00:58:31.509 --> 00:58:33.049
Marcus, please sit down...
816
00:58:33.136 --> 00:58:34.596
Sir, I was asking
if you are familiar
817
00:58:34.679 --> 00:58:36.809
with this very important
essay by Bertrand Russell.
818
00:58:36.889 --> 00:58:38.769
I take it
that the answer is no.
819
00:58:38.850 --> 00:58:41.600
Well, I am very familiar
with this essay
820
00:58:41.686 --> 00:58:46.356
because I set myself the task
of memorizing large sections of it
821
00:58:46.441 --> 00:58:49.491
when I was captain
of my high school debating team.
822
00:58:50.236 --> 00:58:52.316
Now, if you were
to read this essay,
823
00:58:53.239 --> 00:58:57.909
and in the interest of open-mindedness
I would urge you to do so,
824
00:58:57.994 --> 00:59:01.834
you would see that Bertrand
Russell, undoes with logic
825
00:59:01.914 --> 00:59:05.214
that is beyond dispute
the first-cause argument,
826
00:59:05.293 --> 00:59:07.923
the natural-law argument,
the argument from design,
827
00:59:08.004 --> 00:59:09.594
the moral arguments
for a deity,
828
00:59:09.672 --> 00:59:12.012
and the argument
for the remedying of injustice.
829
00:59:13.551 --> 00:59:15.971
Having studied these arguments,
830
00:59:16.054 --> 00:59:18.474
I intend to live my life
in accordance with them,
831
00:59:18.556 --> 00:59:21.016
as I am sure
you would have to admit, sir,
832
00:59:21.100 --> 00:59:22.520
I have every right to do.
833
00:59:22.602 --> 00:59:24.602
Please sit down.
834
00:59:30.735 --> 00:59:31.895
I'm sorry.
835
00:59:40.870 --> 00:59:44.120
I see here that you are studying
to be a lawyer.
836
00:59:44.207 --> 00:59:45.917
On the basis of this interview,
837
00:59:46.000 --> 00:59:49.840
I think you are destined
to be an outstanding lawyer.
838
00:59:49.921 --> 00:59:54.011
I can see you one day arguing a
case before the Supreme Court,
839
00:59:54.092 --> 00:59:56.052
and winning it.
840
00:59:56.135 --> 01:00:00.175
I admire your directness,
your diction,
841
01:00:00.723 --> 01:00:03.273
your sentence structure,
842
01:00:03.351 --> 01:00:08.651
even if I don't necessarily choose to
admire whom or what you choose to read
843
01:00:08.731 --> 01:00:12.531
and the gullibility with which you
take at face value
844
01:00:12.610 --> 01:00:18.490
rationalist blasphemies spouted by an
immoralist of the ilk of Bertrand Russell,
845
01:00:18.574 --> 01:00:21.204
four times married,
a blatant adulterer,
846
01:00:21.285 --> 01:00:23.325
an advocate of free love,
847
01:00:23.413 --> 01:00:27.503
a self-confessed socialist
dismissed from his university position
848
01:00:27.583 --> 01:00:30.423
and imprisoned during the First War
by the British
849
01:00:30.503 --> 01:00:32.673
for what in plain English
I would call treason.
850
01:00:32.755 --> 01:00:34.255
What about
the Nobel Prize!
851
01:00:34.340 --> 01:00:36.010
I even admire you
now, Marcus,
852
01:00:36.092 --> 01:00:37.802
when you hammer on my desk
853
01:00:37.885 --> 01:00:41.255
and point to me so as to ask
about the Nobel Prize.
854
01:00:41.347 --> 01:00:42.967
You have a fighting spirit.
855
01:00:43.057 --> 01:00:46.227
I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know that
I pointed. I didn't mean to point.
856
01:00:46.310 --> 01:00:50.440
You did, son. Not for the first
time and probably not for the last.
857
01:00:50.523 --> 01:00:52.733
But that is the least of it.
858
01:00:52.817 --> 01:00:56.067
To find that Bertrand Russell
is a hero of yours
859
01:00:56.154 --> 01:00:58.414
comes as no great surprise.
860
01:00:59.282 --> 01:01:02.582
There are always one or two
intellectually precocious students
861
01:01:02.660 --> 01:01:07.540
on every campus, self-appointed
members of an elite intelligentsia
862
01:01:07.623 --> 01:01:11.503
who need to elevate themselves and feel
superior to their fellow students,
863
01:01:11.586 --> 01:01:14.166
superior even
to their professors.
864
01:01:15.173 --> 01:01:19.343
Nonetheless, that is not what
we are here to discuss.
865
01:01:19.427 --> 01:01:23.677
What worries me
rather is your isolation.
866
01:01:24.974 --> 01:01:28.024
What worries me
is your outspoken rejection
867
01:01:28.102 --> 01:01:30.982
of long-standing Winesburg tradition,
868
01:01:31.063 --> 01:01:34.153
as witness your response
to Chapel attendance,
869
01:01:35.318 --> 01:01:38.278
A simple undergraduate requirement
which amounts to, on average,
870
01:01:38.362 --> 01:01:41.622
little more than a few minutes
per week of your years here.
871
01:01:41.699 --> 01:01:44.789
In all my experience
at Winesburg
872
01:01:44.869 --> 01:01:47.039
I have never come across
a student
873
01:01:47.121 --> 01:01:51.211
who objected to that requirement
as an infringement on his rights.
874
01:01:52.376 --> 01:01:55.626
What worries me
is how poorly
875
01:01:55.713 --> 01:01:59.223
you are fitting
into the Winesburg community.
876
01:01:59.300 --> 01:02:03.050
To me it seems something
to be attended to promptly,
877
01:02:03.763 --> 01:02:05.933
and nipped in the bud.
878
01:02:06.015 --> 01:02:08.515
I can't take any more of this.
879
01:02:08.601 --> 01:02:10.601
Sir, I think I'm going to vomit.
880
01:02:10.686 --> 01:02:11.976
Excuse me?
881
01:02:12.063 --> 01:02:16.073
I feel ill. I think
I'm going to vomit.
882
01:02:17.068 --> 01:02:20.148
I cannot bear
being lectured like this.
883
01:02:20.238 --> 01:02:22.408
I am not a malcontent.
I am not a rebel.
884
01:02:24.283 --> 01:02:27.583
I have the right to socialize
885
01:02:27.662 --> 01:02:29.662
or not socialize
with whomever I see fit.
886
01:02:29.747 --> 01:02:33.327
Furthermore, your argument
against Bertrand Russell
887
01:02:33.417 --> 01:02:36.047
is not an argument
against his ideas
888
01:02:36.128 --> 01:02:38.088
based on reason
889
01:02:38.589 --> 01:02:40.589
but an argument
against his character,
890
01:02:41.551 --> 01:02:44.761
i.e., an ad hominem attack,
891
01:02:44.845 --> 01:02:47.005
which is logically worthless.
892
01:02:47.098 --> 01:02:49.678
Sir, I respectfully ask
your permission to stand up
893
01:02:49.767 --> 01:02:53.227
and leave now because I am afraid
if I don't I am going to be sick.
894
01:02:53.312 --> 01:02:55.192
Of course
you may leave.
895
01:02:55.273 --> 01:02:59.363
I just ask that you reflect on why
leaving appears to be the only way
896
01:02:59.443 --> 01:03:02.323
you are dealing
with your problems here.
897
01:03:02.405 --> 01:03:06.985
I'm genuinely sorry if you think
I've been wasting your time.
898
01:03:07.076 --> 01:03:09.866
Leaving is not how I cope
with my difficulties.
899
01:03:09.954 --> 01:03:13.424
I strongly object to you
saying that, Dean Caudwell.
900
01:03:13.499 --> 01:03:16.339
Well, at least we got
over calling me 'sir.'
901
01:03:16.419 --> 01:03:18.499
Marcus.
Just one last thing.
902
01:03:18.588 --> 01:03:20.758
I have the impression
from your application
903
01:03:20.840 --> 01:03:22.880
that you're a talented
baseball player.
904
01:03:22.967 --> 01:03:26.847
Would you give a thought about
going up for the Winesburg team?
905
01:03:26.929 --> 01:03:30.559
I played for that team myself
when I was a student here.
906
01:03:30.641 --> 01:03:33.691
Dean Caudwell, my high school
had the worst team in the league.
907
01:03:33.769 --> 01:03:35.399
I don't think
I could play at this level.
908
01:03:35.479 --> 01:03:37.729
The pitching would be a lot
faster than what I'm used to,
909
01:03:37.815 --> 01:03:40.855
and I don't think choking up on
the bat, the way I did back home,
910
01:03:40.943 --> 01:03:45.243
is going to solve my hitting problems
at this level of competition.
911
01:03:45.323 --> 01:03:47.583
So you're saying you're not
going out for baseball
912
01:03:47.658 --> 01:03:48.908
because of the competition?
913
01:03:48.993 --> 01:03:52.333
No! I am saying that I am
realistic about my chances
914
01:03:52.413 --> 01:03:53.833
for making the team...
915
01:03:58.919 --> 01:04:00.339
Alice!
916
01:04:12.933 --> 01:04:14.733
I was always a light sleeper,
917
01:04:15.353 --> 01:04:16.943
though I never could remember
my dreams
918
01:04:17.021 --> 01:04:19.021
or even whether I had
any dreams.
919
01:04:20.107 --> 01:04:22.397
But for that day,
and night, and day...
920
01:04:22.485 --> 01:04:26.485
what with the anesthesia,
I slept a great deal...
921
01:04:27.740 --> 01:04:31.830
I remember vaguely thinking
I was married to Olivia Hutton.
922
01:04:33.287 --> 01:04:34.957
I remember us
sharing a bedroom,
923
01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:36.959
of me going off to work,
924
01:04:37.041 --> 01:04:39.131
an argument
we had over dinner,
925
01:04:39.502 --> 01:04:43.052
of a long drive
through a series of small towns,
926
01:04:43.714 --> 01:04:45.424
and then us reaching
the ocean,
927
01:04:45.841 --> 01:04:47.841
and a cabin by the ocean.
928
01:04:49.011 --> 01:04:51.101
It's strange, being dead,
929
01:04:51.180 --> 01:04:54.140
as I am now and have been
for I don't know how long...
930
01:04:55.101 --> 01:04:58.061
"if" now' can be said to mean
anything any longer...
931
01:04:59.188 --> 01:05:02.318
that I remember those dreams
as accurately as anything
932
01:05:02.400 --> 01:05:04.900
I actually experienced in reality.
933
01:05:08.614 --> 01:05:09.914
Good morning.
934
01:05:12.326 --> 01:05:14.446
You're in the hospital, son.
935
01:05:14.537 --> 01:05:17.867
You had your appendix removed. Just
in the nick of time, the doctors say.
936
01:05:18.916 --> 01:05:20.996
I had my what?
937
01:05:21.085 --> 01:05:22.665
Your appendix out.
938
01:05:22.753 --> 01:05:25.973
Your dean, from the college, Mr.
Caudwell, was just now here.
939
01:05:26.048 --> 01:05:28.508
I sent him home -
didn't want to wake you.
940
01:05:28.592 --> 01:05:31.142
He's called your parents.
They know you're fine.
941
01:05:31.220 --> 01:05:33.890
Your mother will be here
in a few days.
942
01:05:34.724 --> 01:05:36.934
And you're to call your father.
But first...
943
01:05:38.352 --> 01:05:41.192
I need you to do some business for me.
Into this.
944
01:06:05.463 --> 01:06:09.133
Dear Marcus, I can't see you.
945
01:06:09.216 --> 01:06:12.086
You'll only run away
from me again,
946
01:06:12.178 --> 01:06:16.468
this time when you see the scar
across the width of my wrist.
947
01:06:16.557 --> 01:06:20.477
Had you seen it the night of our date I
would have honestly explained it to you.
948
01:06:20.561 --> 01:06:23.651
I was prepared to do that.
949
01:06:23.731 --> 01:06:25.571
I didn't try to cover it up,
but as it happened
950
01:06:25.649 --> 01:06:27.189
you failed to notice it.
951
01:06:29.028 --> 01:06:31.238
It's a scar from a razor.
952
01:06:31.322 --> 01:06:33.452
I tried to kill myself.
953
01:06:34.200 --> 01:06:36.620
That's why I went
for three months to the clinic.
954
01:06:37.703 --> 01:06:40.793
It was the Menninger Clinic
in Topeka, Kansas.
955
01:06:40.873 --> 01:06:44.173
The Menninger Sanitarium
and Psychopathic Hospital.
956
01:06:44.251 --> 01:06:45.961
There's the full name
for you.
957
01:06:47.463 --> 01:06:49.593
My father the doctor
knows people there.
958
01:06:55.721 --> 01:06:58.271
Where will you be able
to see these best?
959
01:06:58.349 --> 01:07:01.269
I see them best
in your two hands.
960
01:07:01.352 --> 01:07:04.812
I see them best with you
standing right there.
961
01:07:04.897 --> 01:07:07.267
Just stay like that
for the next couple of days.
962
01:07:08.484 --> 01:07:10.284
What are they giving you
to eat?
963
01:07:10.361 --> 01:07:14.951
Jell-O and ginger ale. Tomorrow
I start on the snails.
964
01:07:15.032 --> 01:07:16.662
You seem very chipper.
965
01:07:16.742 --> 01:07:18.292
I am.
966
01:07:23.207 --> 01:07:24.327
Can I see?
967
01:07:25.376 --> 01:07:27.376
My stitches?
968
01:07:32.466 --> 01:07:33.586
Okay.
969
01:07:39.473 --> 01:07:41.813
Is the wound draining?
970
01:07:41.892 --> 01:07:44.522
Is that tube dangling
down there a drain?
971
01:07:46.021 --> 01:07:48.521
I don't know.
I suppose so. Yeah.
972
01:07:51.026 --> 01:07:52.946
What about the stitches?
973
01:07:56.115 --> 01:07:57.945
Well, we're in a hospital.
974
01:07:58.033 --> 01:08:01.373
What better place to be in
when they come undone?
975
01:08:01.453 --> 01:08:03.623
You are odd, you know.
976
01:08:05.040 --> 01:08:07.420
Odder than I think you realize.
977
01:08:08.919 --> 01:08:11.379
I'm always odd after I have
my appendix taken out.
978
01:08:11.463 --> 01:08:15.093
Do you always get as big as this
after you have your appendix out?
979
01:08:16.844 --> 01:08:18.434
Never fails.
980
01:08:21.682 --> 01:08:23.272
Of course we shouldn't.
981
01:08:23.350 --> 01:08:26.310
We could both get thrown
out of school for this.
982
01:08:26.395 --> 01:08:27.805
Then stop.
983
01:08:37.031 --> 01:08:38.621
There.
984
01:08:40.659 --> 01:08:41.949
"I shot an arrow into the air.
985
01:08:42.036 --> 01:08:43.946
It fell to earth I knew not where."
986
01:08:47.958 --> 01:08:49.878
Excuse me.
987
01:08:49.960 --> 01:08:54.010
Oh, my God. What is
she going to do now?
988
01:08:54.089 --> 01:08:55.089
Nothing.
989
01:08:55.174 --> 01:08:56.344
What do you
mean "nothing"?
990
01:08:56.425 --> 01:08:59.885
How can you be so poised
about all this?
991
01:08:59.970 --> 01:09:01.930
One call to the dean,
and we're out.
992
01:09:02.014 --> 01:09:03.684
How do you know
she's going to do nothing?
993
01:09:03.766 --> 01:09:05.926
She's too embarrassed to.
994
01:09:07.353 --> 01:09:10.063
I don't understand
how you can be so...
995
01:09:10.147 --> 01:09:11.267
So what?
996
01:09:11.398 --> 01:09:14.938
Under control. So expert.
997
01:09:15.027 --> 01:09:19.237
Oh, yes, Olivia the expert.
998
01:09:19.323 --> 01:09:21.783
That's what they called me
at the Menninger Clinic.
999
01:09:21.867 --> 01:09:23.157
But you are.
1000
01:09:23.827 --> 01:09:25.907
You really think so,
do you?
1001
01:09:27.498 --> 01:09:30.168
I, who have eight thousand
moods a minute,
1002
01:09:30.250 --> 01:09:33.630
whose every emotion is a tornado,
who can be thrown by a word,
1003
01:09:33.712 --> 01:09:36.512
by a syllable,
am 'under control'?
1004
01:09:39.093 --> 01:09:40.593
You are blind.
1005
01:09:52.272 --> 01:09:54.692
Do you hate me?
1006
01:09:55.484 --> 01:09:58.324
No. I don't hate you.
1007
01:10:00.364 --> 01:10:02.374
I think maybe you hate me.
1008
01:10:02.449 --> 01:10:03.989
Maybe you should.
1009
01:10:15.754 --> 01:10:17.264
Will you come tomorrow?
1010
01:10:21.552 --> 01:10:22.642
Yes.
1011
01:10:50.414 --> 01:10:53.334
I need to see you walk to the end
of the hall and back with this.
1012
01:10:53.417 --> 01:10:55.917
Then you can use
the bathroom yourself.
1013
01:11:15.397 --> 01:11:16.687
Marcus!
1014
01:11:18.108 --> 01:11:22.488
Oh, hey Sonny.
So Caudwell sent you?
1015
01:11:22.571 --> 01:11:25.371
Yeah. yeah. It's something we
do at the house, volunteer.
1016
01:11:25.449 --> 01:11:28.369
He said you gave the okay to go
into your room and get your books.
1017
01:11:28.452 --> 01:11:30.622
I basically grabbed
everything off the desk.
1018
01:11:30.704 --> 01:11:32.004
Quite a room
you got there.
1019
01:11:32.080 --> 01:11:33.500
Yeah, it's deluxe.
1020
01:11:34.833 --> 01:11:37.253
It was like
a medieval inquisition.
1021
01:11:37.336 --> 01:11:39.206
Except he was smiling
most of the time.
1022
01:11:39.296 --> 01:11:41.296
I think that's what annoyed me
the most.
1023
01:11:41.381 --> 01:11:43.511
You mind?
1024
01:11:43.592 --> 01:11:45.682
Yeah, dig in.
1025
01:11:47.137 --> 01:11:49.137
So you mixed it up
with old Dean Caudwell?
1026
01:11:49.223 --> 01:11:51.643
He's actually not such a bad
guy, he's just a blowhard.
1027
01:11:52.017 --> 01:11:56.307
He didn't make you move back in with that
moron Foxman and that queer Flusser, did he?
1028
01:11:56.438 --> 01:11:59.438
Huh? Uh, no.
See?
1029
01:11:59.525 --> 01:12:04.735
But then, he started grilling
me about my beliefs,
1030
01:12:04.822 --> 01:12:08.082
my social life, my principles.
Mainly about Chapel.
1031
01:12:08.158 --> 01:12:11.698
I tried to explain to him
as clearly as I could,
1032
01:12:11.787 --> 01:12:13.997
as rationally as I could,
1033
01:12:14.081 --> 01:12:17.581
why the chapel requirement
is unjust.
1034
01:12:17.668 --> 01:12:22.668
I don't... I don't know how you
and your fraternity brothers
1035
01:12:22.756 --> 01:12:25.426
take all that Christ stuff,
week in week out?
1036
01:12:25.509 --> 01:12:27.429
Chapel?
Who goes to chapel?
1037
01:12:27.511 --> 01:12:30.240
You pay somebody to go for you and you
never have to get anywhere near chapel.
1038
01:12:30.264 --> 01:12:32.224
Is that what you do?
What else would I do?
1039
01:12:32.307 --> 01:12:34.477
You know, I went a couple
of times freshman year.
1040
01:12:34.560 --> 01:12:36.560
They had a rabbi once,
so I had to go then.
1041
01:12:36.645 --> 01:12:39.895
Otherwise it's Caudwell
and Donehower
1042
01:12:39.982 --> 01:12:43.992
and all the other great
Ohio spiritual leaders.
1043
01:12:44.069 --> 01:12:47.159
So how much do you pay?
1044
01:12:47.239 --> 01:12:49.869
For a proxy? Two bucks a pop.
That's nothing.
1045
01:12:49.950 --> 01:12:51.370
That's not nothing.
1046
01:12:51.451 --> 01:12:54.201
Look. Figure you spend 15
minutes getting off the hill
1047
01:12:54.288 --> 01:12:55.538
and over to the church.
1048
01:12:55.622 --> 01:12:58.712
An hour of subjecting
yourself to chapel,
1049
01:12:58.834 --> 01:13:01.804
and knowing you, you're seething
with rage the entire time, Mm-hm.
1050
01:13:01.879 --> 01:13:04.419
You're probably another half
hour afterwards still seething.
1051
01:13:04.506 --> 01:13:08.836
That's a hundred and
five minutes, times forty,
1052
01:13:08.927 --> 01:13:09.967
that's...
1053
01:13:10.053 --> 01:13:12.643
Four thousand two hundred minutes
that's 70 hours.
1054
01:13:12.723 --> 01:13:15.483
Yeah. Right.
And that's not nothing!
1055
01:13:15.559 --> 01:13:20.019
Alright. So how does it work?
1056
01:13:20.105 --> 01:13:23.685
Well, the guy you hire takes the card
the usher hands him at the door,
1057
01:13:23.775 --> 01:13:26.815
and when he hands it back at the
end he's signed your name on it.
1058
01:13:26.904 --> 01:13:30.324
That's it. You think a handwriting
specialist pores over each card
1059
01:13:30.407 --> 01:13:31.827
back where they keep
the records?
1060
01:13:31.909 --> 01:13:34.239
No. All you have to do
is pay somebody.
1061
01:13:34.369 --> 01:13:36.459
Yeah, but who? Plenty of
brothers willing to do it.
1062
01:13:36.538 --> 01:13:39.328
And it's work. I'll find
somebody if you want me to.
1063
01:13:39.416 --> 01:13:41.666
I can even try to find someone
for less than two bucks.
1064
01:13:41.752 --> 01:13:44.212
And if this person shoots off his mouth?
Then what?
1065
01:13:44.296 --> 01:13:45.956
You're out of here
on your ass.
1066
01:13:46.048 --> 01:13:48.088
No one would do that.
They'd be out, too.
1067
01:13:48.175 --> 01:13:50.005
Look, it's a business,
Marcus.
1068
01:13:50.093 --> 01:13:53.563
Clearly Dean Caudwell
knows what's going on?
1069
01:13:53.639 --> 01:13:55.599
Caudwell's the biggest
Christer around.
1070
01:13:55.682 --> 01:13:59.312
He couldn't imagine why people
don't love listening to Donehower
1071
01:13:59.394 --> 01:14:02.984
instead of having the hour free every
Wednesday to jack off in their rooms.
1072
01:14:03.065 --> 01:14:08.025
That was a big mistake you made,
bringing up chapel with Caudwell.
1073
01:14:08.111 --> 01:14:10.741
Hawes D. Caudwell
was the idol of this place.
1074
01:14:10.822 --> 01:14:12.662
Winesburg's greatest
halfback in football,
1075
01:14:12.741 --> 01:14:14.451
greatest slugger in baseball,
1076
01:14:14.534 --> 01:14:17.664
greatest exponent on earth
of all things Winesburg tradition.
1077
01:14:17.746 --> 01:14:21.246
Meet this guy head-on about this
stuff and he'll make you into mush.
1078
01:14:21.333 --> 01:14:23.293
You go around
guys like him, Marcus.
1079
01:14:23.377 --> 01:14:26.507
You keep your mouth shut,
your ass covered, smile...
1080
01:14:26.588 --> 01:14:29.048
and then
you do whatever you like.
1081
01:14:29.132 --> 01:14:33.432
Look, don't... don't take
everything so seriously.
1082
01:14:33.512 --> 01:14:35.892
You might find this is not
the worst place in the world
1083
01:14:35.973 --> 01:14:38.353
to spend the next four
years of your life.
1084
01:14:38.433 --> 01:14:39.643
At least you're not in Korea.
1085
01:14:39.726 --> 01:14:44.356
Plus... you've already located
the Blowjob Queen of 1951.
1086
01:14:44.481 --> 01:14:46.691
That's a start. I don't know
what you're talking about.
1087
01:14:46.775 --> 01:14:49.395
You mean she didn't blow you?
You are unique.
1088
01:14:49.486 --> 01:14:52.236
I still don't know
what you are referring to.
1089
01:14:52.322 --> 01:14:54.282
Olivia Hutton.
1090
01:14:54.366 --> 01:14:57.406
Look, blowjobs are at a premium
in north-central Ohio,
1091
01:14:57.494 --> 01:15:00.624
as you can imagine.
News of Olivia has traveled fast.
1092
01:15:01.331 --> 01:15:03.881
Don't look so puzzled.
1093
01:15:03.959 --> 01:15:05.459
Uh, I don't believe this.
1094
01:15:05.544 --> 01:15:07.714
What's not to believe?
Hm?
1095
01:15:07.796 --> 01:15:10.506
She sounds like a bit of a nutcase.
There's nothing wrong with that.
1096
01:15:10.590 --> 01:15:12.590
I wish there were
more of them around.
1097
01:15:12.676 --> 01:15:16.886
I'll pick you up on Saturday. That's
when you're getting out of here?
1098
01:15:16.972 --> 01:15:19.642
You okay? Do you want
me to call the nurse?
1099
01:15:19.725 --> 01:15:23.685
No, no, I'm fine. I'm just in a
little bit of pain. I'm okay.
1100
01:15:25.313 --> 01:15:28.863
Yeah. Okay.
I'll see you Saturday.
1101
01:15:29.860 --> 01:15:31.700
I'll set you up
with a cot at the house.
1102
01:16:11.902 --> 01:16:14.572
Ah!
1103
01:16:38.261 --> 01:16:41.641
Now, I want you
to tell me everything.
1104
01:16:42.891 --> 01:16:45.351
Everything?
Everything about what?
1105
01:16:46.436 --> 01:16:49.436
About you.
I want to learn all about you.
1106
01:16:49.523 --> 01:16:51.783
I want to know
what made you you.
1107
01:16:54.277 --> 01:16:57.277
What about
what made you you?
1108
01:16:57.364 --> 01:16:58.874
You first.
1109
01:17:01.451 --> 01:17:07.581
Well, I guess the shop
made me, if anything did.
1110
01:17:07.666 --> 01:17:12.666
Though what was made exactly
I can't say I entirely know anymore.
1111
01:17:12.754 --> 01:17:17.224
I've been in a very confused state
of mind ever since I hit this place.
1112
01:17:17.300 --> 01:17:18.510
Thank you.
1113
01:17:18.593 --> 01:17:23.313
It made you hard-working.
It gave you integrity.
1114
01:17:23.849 --> 01:17:26.309
Oh, did it?
The butcher shop?
1115
01:17:26.393 --> 01:17:27.983
Absolutely.
1116
01:17:30.647 --> 01:17:34.987
Well... let me tell you
about my father.
1117
01:17:35.068 --> 01:17:38.778
Let me tell you about what he
gave me in the way of integrity.
1118
01:17:38.864 --> 01:17:39.994
We'll start with him.
1119
01:17:41.283 --> 01:17:43.873
Oh, good.
Story time.
1120
01:17:44.578 --> 01:17:47.578
Well, every week,
the fat man
1121
01:17:47.664 --> 01:17:50.884
would come into the store
and he'd pick up all the fat.
1122
01:17:50.959 --> 01:17:53.459
And the fat itself was stored
in a garbage pail.
1123
01:17:53.545 --> 01:17:54.915
After the fat man came,
1124
01:17:55.005 --> 01:17:59.045
I would take this can out front
of the store and I'd wash it out.
1125
01:17:59.134 --> 01:18:02.434
So one day one of the pretty girls
from my class came up to me
1126
01:18:02.512 --> 01:18:05.522
"and said," I stopped
at the bus stop
1127
01:18:05.599 --> 01:18:07.639
across the street
from your father's store
1128
01:18:07.726 --> 01:18:11.266
"and I saw you cleaning
the garbage cans."
1129
01:18:11.354 --> 01:18:15.984
So, I went up to my father and I said
"Boss,"I always called him "Boss,"
1130
01:18:16.067 --> 01:18:19.907
I said, "Boss, I can't clean
the garbage cans anymore."
1131
01:18:19.988 --> 01:18:21.568
You were ashamed?
1132
01:18:21.656 --> 01:18:24.276
No. No, you see,
that's what he thought.
1133
01:18:24.367 --> 01:18:25.737
To me, it was practical.
1134
01:18:26.620 --> 01:18:30.920
How am I supposed to ask them out,
if they know that I clean the cans?
1135
01:18:30.999 --> 01:18:32.129
Well, you asked me out.
1136
01:18:32.209 --> 01:18:34.499
But you didn't see me
clean the garbage cans.
1137
01:18:34.586 --> 01:18:35.876
I could have guessed.
1138
01:18:36.796 --> 01:18:39.796
So what did your father say?
Did he let you off the hook?
1139
01:18:39.883 --> 01:18:42.763
No. He said,
"What, you're ashamed?"
1140
01:18:43.845 --> 01:18:46.885
What are you ashamed of? All you
have to be ashamed of is stealing.
1141
01:18:46.973 --> 01:18:48.063
Nothing else.
1142
01:18:49.184 --> 01:18:50.604
"Clean the cans."
1143
01:18:52.729 --> 01:18:54.769
He could have told
Big Mendelson to do it.
1144
01:18:54.898 --> 01:18:56.608
Big Mendelson?
Mm-hm.
1145
01:18:57.400 --> 01:19:00.110
He worked there too
until things slowed down.
1146
01:19:02.322 --> 01:19:04.072
Boy, did he have
a nasty mouth on him.
1147
01:19:04.157 --> 01:19:06.867
He belonged in the back,
trust me, in the refrigerator.
1148
01:19:06.952 --> 01:19:10.042
I thought he was hilarious,
but we had to let him go.
1149
01:19:11.081 --> 01:19:13.581
What did Big Mendelson do?
1150
01:19:14.251 --> 01:19:15.881
Well, on Thursdays,
1151
01:19:15.961 --> 01:19:18.131
my father, he would come back
from the chicken market,
1152
01:19:18.213 --> 01:19:19.673
he'd dump all the
chickens in a pile
1153
01:19:19.756 --> 01:19:23.466
and people would come in and pick whatever
chicken they wanted for the weekend.
1154
01:19:23.551 --> 01:19:27.011
Anyway, this one woman,
Mrs. Sklon,
1155
01:19:27.097 --> 01:19:30.517
she would always come in,
she would pick up a chicken
1156
01:19:31.476 --> 01:19:34.976
and she would smell its mouth
and then smell its rear end.
1157
01:19:35.939 --> 01:19:39.069
It got to the point that one day Big
Mendelson couldn't contain himself.
1158
01:19:39.150 --> 01:19:41.700
He said, "Mrs. Sklon",
1159
01:19:41.778 --> 01:19:44.198
could you pass
that inspection?"
1160
01:19:44.281 --> 01:19:47.661
I swear I've never seen anybody
get more mad in my life.
1161
01:19:47.742 --> 01:19:50.002
She picked up a knife,
tried to stab the big guy.
1162
01:19:50.078 --> 01:19:52.078
So that's why your father
had to let him go?
1163
01:19:52.163 --> 01:19:56.043
Well, he had to. He had to. By then
he said lots of things like that.
1164
01:19:56.751 --> 01:19:59.251
But about Mrs. Sklon,
Big Mendelson was right.
1165
01:19:59.337 --> 01:20:01.877
She was no picnic
not even for me,
1166
01:20:01.965 --> 01:20:04.715
and I was the nicest
boy in the world.
1167
01:20:04.801 --> 01:20:06.591
Oh, I never doubted that.
1168
01:20:06.678 --> 01:20:09.258
For better or worse
that's what I was.
1169
01:20:09.347 --> 01:20:11.977
Am. Are.
1170
01:20:12.058 --> 01:20:14.308
You had humble origins.
Like Abe Lincoln.
1171
01:20:14.394 --> 01:20:18.444
Honest Marcus. Working side by
side, every day with your father.
1172
01:20:18.523 --> 01:20:23.783
He was, mm, he used to be,
something great. That's true.
1173
01:20:24.487 --> 01:20:25.697
Used to be?
1174
01:20:27.073 --> 01:20:29.243
He is.
1175
01:20:29.326 --> 01:20:31.366
So what about your father?
1176
01:20:31.453 --> 01:20:35.083
He's a doctor.
What kind of medicine?
1177
01:20:35.165 --> 01:20:37.575
You ever see him
working, at his office?
1178
01:20:37.667 --> 01:20:40.957
My father?
There's nothing to tell.
1179
01:20:41.046 --> 01:20:42.256
Nothing?
1180
01:20:42.339 --> 01:20:44.969
Nothing.
Nothing at all.
1181
01:20:45.050 --> 01:20:46.630
Surely there's something.
1182
01:20:46.718 --> 01:20:50.008
Marcus... practice tact.
1183
01:21:00.523 --> 01:21:02.653
You know, I can give
you a recommendation.
1184
01:21:04.319 --> 01:21:06.149
For what?
1185
01:21:06.237 --> 01:21:09.657
A summer job.
At Anker's Flower Shop.
1186
01:21:09.741 --> 01:21:10.951
You're a natural.
1187
01:21:24.881 --> 01:21:26.761
Hm?
1188
01:21:28.843 --> 01:21:30.263
You have a guest.
1189
01:21:34.557 --> 01:21:35.727
Markie!
1190
01:21:41.147 --> 01:21:42.977
I don't know what it is.
1191
01:21:43.066 --> 01:21:45.396
Is he sick?
Does he have something?
1192
01:21:47.278 --> 01:21:49.568
Markie, I think
he's losing his mind.
1193
01:21:50.698 --> 01:21:53.618
You know how he was with you on
the phone about the operation?
1194
01:21:54.619 --> 01:21:58.669
That's how he is with everyone,
about everything, all the time!
1195
01:21:58.748 --> 01:22:01.498
At the store, he's yelling
at the customers.
1196
01:22:01.584 --> 01:22:04.674
And my God, in the car,
in the truck,
1197
01:22:04.754 --> 01:22:07.094
he's been driving around
Essex County all his life
1198
01:22:07.173 --> 01:22:10.183
and suddenly everyone on the
road is a maniac except for him.
1199
01:22:10.260 --> 01:22:13.760
The horn, he honks the horn from
the second we leave the driveway.
1200
01:22:15.306 --> 01:22:17.926
We're losing customers, Markie.
1201
01:22:18.017 --> 01:22:20.647
They all go to the supermarket now,
and who can blame them.
1202
01:22:20.728 --> 01:22:24.478
People call, I take their
orders, make some conversation.
1203
01:22:24.566 --> 01:22:26.526
He used to like that I
talked to the customers.
1204
01:22:26.609 --> 01:22:28.319
Now he grabs the phone
from my hand,
1205
01:22:28.403 --> 01:22:30.613
"You want to talk to my wife,
you call at night,
1206
01:22:30.697 --> 01:22:33.027
not during business hours,"
and he hangs up.
1207
01:22:34.159 --> 01:22:36.119
What's happened, Markie?
1208
01:22:37.495 --> 01:22:41.875
Have I been living all these
years with a time bomb?
1209
01:22:41.958 --> 01:22:43.878
All I know is that...
1210
01:22:43.960 --> 01:22:47.800
something has made my husband into a
different person, into a monster.
1211
01:22:50.842 --> 01:22:52.012
You should have told me, Mom.
1212
01:22:52.093 --> 01:22:54.683
You should have told me how bad
it was getting. I'm sorry.
1213
01:22:54.762 --> 01:22:58.392
Why should I bother you?
At school, with your studies?
1214
01:23:00.602 --> 01:23:02.902
Take him to a doctor.
Take him to Dr. Shildkret.
1215
01:23:03.730 --> 01:23:07.820
Maybe he can give him
something to calm down.
1216
01:23:09.068 --> 01:23:11.358
He won't go.
He refuses to go.
1217
01:23:11.446 --> 01:23:14.986
There's nothing wrong with him. It's the
rest of the world that's in the wrong.
1218
01:23:15.074 --> 01:23:16.584
Then you see Shildkret.
1219
01:23:16.659 --> 01:23:18.749
Mom, you're as strong
as a person can be
1220
01:23:18.828 --> 01:23:20.708
and you've become a wreck.
He's killing you.
1221
01:23:20.788 --> 01:23:22.958
Oh, Markie. Darling.
1222
01:23:24.083 --> 01:23:27.553
Should I?
Can I possibly?
1223
01:23:29.047 --> 01:23:31.837
I came all this way
to ask you.
1224
01:23:32.217 --> 01:23:34.507
You're the only one
I can ask about this.
1225
01:23:36.513 --> 01:23:40.063
Could you possibly what?
What?
1226
01:23:40.141 --> 01:23:41.941
I can't say the word.
1227
01:23:42.018 --> 01:23:45.608
What word?
1228
01:23:45.688 --> 01:23:46.768
Divorce.
1229
01:23:48.691 --> 01:23:51.441
Oh, Ma.
You're in a state of shock.
1230
01:23:51.528 --> 01:23:52.948
You don't know
what you're saying.
1231
01:23:53.029 --> 01:23:56.659
You've been married
to him for 25 years.
1232
01:23:56.741 --> 01:23:59.371
You love him.
I don't!
1233
01:24:00.328 --> 01:24:01.578
I hate him!
1234
01:24:02.664 --> 01:24:06.174
I sit in the car as he's
driving and screaming at me
1235
01:24:06.251 --> 01:24:09.671
and I hate him and loathe him
from the bottom of my heart!
1236
01:24:09.754 --> 01:24:11.264
That is not true.
1237
01:24:11.339 --> 01:24:14.629
Even if it seems so,
it's not a permanent condition.
1238
01:24:14.717 --> 01:24:22.347
Just see Dr. Shildkret, please,
at least as a start.
1239
01:24:22.433 --> 01:24:23.693
Do it for me.
1240
01:24:25.562 --> 01:24:26.812
I'm seeing a lawyer.
1241
01:24:26.896 --> 01:24:28.016
What?
1242
01:24:28.106 --> 01:24:30.976
Yes.
I've already seen him.
1243
01:24:32.110 --> 01:24:34.110
I have an attorney.
1244
01:24:54.465 --> 01:24:57.335
So you met in American,
you said.
1245
01:24:57.427 --> 01:25:00.217
American History to 1865.
1246
01:25:00.305 --> 01:25:03.765
I'm also taking Principles
of American Government,
1247
01:25:03.850 --> 01:25:05.770
but Olivia is
just in American History.
1248
01:25:05.852 --> 01:25:09.022
That's why she brought the textbook.
So I could study.
1249
01:25:09.105 --> 01:25:12.775
Your son, Mrs. Messner,
is a star student.
1250
01:25:12.859 --> 01:25:16.609
He always asks the most
interesting questions in class.
1251
01:25:17.739 --> 01:25:20.529
I wouldn't be surprised
if Professor Sundquist
1252
01:25:20.617 --> 01:25:22.827
weren't a bit intimidated
by Marcus.
1253
01:25:22.910 --> 01:25:25.200
Marcus has always been
a straight-A student.
1254
01:25:25.288 --> 01:25:28.078
It's because of that he has
been awarded the scholarship.
1255
01:25:28.166 --> 01:25:30.746
And you, Miss Hutton,
do you...
1256
01:25:30.835 --> 01:25:33.455
are you enjoying
your studies?
1257
01:25:36.966 --> 01:25:38.546
I enjoy the books, yes.
1258
01:25:39.844 --> 01:25:41.764
I'm going to be
a French Literature major.
1259
01:25:41.846 --> 01:25:44.096
French literature?
1260
01:25:44.182 --> 01:25:46.392
Is this something of which
your parents approve?
1261
01:25:47.560 --> 01:25:50.100
Well, my father is
a very practical man.
1262
01:25:51.147 --> 01:25:54.937
But he hasn't suggested any alternative,
so I have to assume that he believes,
1263
01:25:55.026 --> 01:25:58.696
from a practical perspective, that it would
be a waste of his time to think about it.
1264
01:25:59.739 --> 01:26:01.819
And your mother,
Miss Hutton.
1265
01:26:01.908 --> 01:26:04.738
Oh. My mother
isn't very practical at all.
1266
01:26:04.827 --> 01:26:07.077
But she has visited Paris,
and loved it,
1267
01:26:07.163 --> 01:26:10.633
so I think I should have her
vote if it should come to it.
1268
01:26:10.708 --> 01:26:17.008
It sounds like you have a very democratic
household. That's very American.
1269
01:26:17.090 --> 01:26:19.260
Yes we are - American.
1270
01:26:20.343 --> 01:26:22.933
Though as a student
of American civilization, Marcus,
1271
01:26:23.012 --> 01:26:26.852
you must remember how Benjamin
Franklin once defined democracy?
1272
01:26:26.933 --> 01:26:31.353
Democracy, he said, is two wolves and a
lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
1273
01:28:20.296 --> 01:28:22.006
Ma.
1274
01:28:22.089 --> 01:28:24.589
Marcus, I won't divorce him.
1275
01:28:27.637 --> 01:28:31.177
I'll bear him.
I'll do all I can to help him.
1276
01:28:33.601 --> 01:28:36.401
I'm sorry I even allowed myself
to have such thoughts.
1277
01:28:36.479 --> 01:28:38.309
I'm sorry I told them to you.
1278
01:28:39.565 --> 01:28:42.395
The way that I did it, here at this
hospital, with you just out of bed
1279
01:28:42.485 --> 01:28:47.155
and starting to walk around on your
own, that wasn't right. I apologize.
1280
01:28:48.991 --> 01:28:50.331
I wasn't thinking of you.
1281
01:28:52.328 --> 01:28:55.578
Marcus, you appear so strong,
1282
01:28:55.665 --> 01:28:59.415
you are in so many ways,
that I forget you are a boy,
1283
01:28:59.502 --> 01:29:01.632
a very sensitive boy.
1284
01:29:02.713 --> 01:29:05.173
A boy who loves
and honors his father.
1285
01:29:08.511 --> 01:29:11.851
You can cry, Markie.
I've seen you cry before.
1286
01:29:13.850 --> 01:29:15.770
I know I can.
I know...
1287
01:29:15.852 --> 01:29:18.562
I just don't want to.
1288
01:29:24.360 --> 01:29:28.360
Thank you. Thank you, Ma.
This is a great relief to me.
1289
01:29:31.075 --> 01:29:33.905
I couldn't imagine him
living all alone...
1290
01:29:33.995 --> 01:29:36.155
it was unimaginable.
1291
01:29:36.247 --> 01:29:37.867
Don't imagine it.
1292
01:29:42.628 --> 01:29:45.508
But now I must ask
for something in return.
1293
01:29:45.590 --> 01:29:48.340
Because something
is unimaginable to me.
1294
01:29:51.721 --> 01:29:53.561
I never asked
anything of you before.
1295
01:29:54.307 --> 01:29:55.927
I never asked
because I never had to.
1296
01:29:56.017 --> 01:29:58.807
Because you are perfect
where sons are concerned.
1297
01:29:58.895 --> 01:30:01.645
All you've ever wanted to be
is a boy who does well.
1298
01:30:01.731 --> 01:30:04.361
You have been the best son
a mother could have.
1299
01:30:05.276 --> 01:30:08.146
But I am going to ask you to have
nothing more to do with Miss Hutton.
1300
01:30:09.280 --> 01:30:12.780
Because for you to be with
her is unimaginable for me.
1301
01:30:14.744 --> 01:30:17.164
Ma... Markie, you are
here to be a student
1302
01:30:17.246 --> 01:30:20.706
and to study the Supreme Court
and to prepare to go to law school.
1303
01:30:20.791 --> 01:30:22.541
You are here so someday
you will become
1304
01:30:22.627 --> 01:30:25.047
a person in the community
that other people look up to
1305
01:30:25.129 --> 01:30:27.629
and that they come to for help.
1306
01:30:27.715 --> 01:30:30.005
You are here so you don't
have to be a Messner
1307
01:30:30.092 --> 01:30:32.802
and work in a butcher shop
for the rest of your life.
1308
01:30:32.887 --> 01:30:35.307
You are not here
to look for trouble
1309
01:30:35.389 --> 01:30:38.059
with a girl who has taken a
razor and slit her wrists.
1310
01:30:38.142 --> 01:30:39.392
Wrist. She slit one wrist.
1311
01:30:39.477 --> 01:30:40.727
One is enough.
1312
01:30:42.355 --> 01:30:45.355
We have only two,
and one is too much.
1313
01:30:46.442 --> 01:30:47.992
Ma, you don't understand...
1314
01:30:48.110 --> 01:30:49.990
You think I don't understand?
You don't.
1315
01:30:50.863 --> 01:30:53.243
You don't understand. Markie,
I will stay with your father
1316
01:30:53.324 --> 01:30:55.124
But for this
I am offering a deal.
1317
01:30:56.243 --> 01:31:00.293
Markie, the world is full of young
women who have not slit any wrists -
1318
01:31:00.373 --> 01:31:03.383
who have slit nothing.
They exist by the millions.
1319
01:31:03.459 --> 01:31:05.589
Find one of them.
1320
01:31:05.670 --> 01:31:07.760
She can be a Gentile,
she can be anything.
1321
01:31:08.422 --> 01:31:11.632
This is 1951. You don't live in
the old world. Why should you.
1322
01:31:12.343 --> 01:31:14.353
Date anyone you want,
marry anyone you want,
1323
01:31:14.428 --> 01:31:16.348
do whatever you want
with whoever you choose...
1324
01:31:16.430 --> 01:31:19.810
as long as she's never put
a razor to herself.
1325
01:31:19.892 --> 01:31:22.272
A girl so wounded
as to do such a thing
1326
01:31:22.353 --> 01:31:26.653
will wipe out everything before
your life has even begun.
1327
01:31:26.732 --> 01:31:29.032
Ma, you don't understand.
1328
01:31:29.110 --> 01:31:31.280
It's not as serious
a relationship as you think.
1329
01:31:31.362 --> 01:31:33.242
Serious?
She is serious for you,
1330
01:31:33.322 --> 01:31:36.282
because she is suffering,
she is weak.
1331
01:31:36.367 --> 01:31:39.287
And weak people, Markie,
weak people are not harmless.
1332
01:31:39.996 --> 01:31:41.656
Their weakness
is their strength.
1333
01:31:41.747 --> 01:31:44.747
A person so unstable
is a menace to you, Markie.
1334
01:31:44.834 --> 01:31:49.264
And she is a beautiful young
woman, she looks like a goddess.
1335
01:31:50.381 --> 01:31:52.841
Obviously she is
well brought up.
1336
01:31:53.467 --> 01:31:56.757
Though maybe there is more to her
upbringing than meets the eye.
1337
01:31:56.846 --> 01:32:01.226
You never know about those things,
about what goes on in people's houses.
1338
01:32:01.308 --> 01:32:04.848
When the child goes wrong,
look to the family.
1339
01:32:06.522 --> 01:32:09.942
Regardless, my heart
goes out to her.
1340
01:32:10.401 --> 01:32:12.781
I pray for her.
I have nothing against her.
1341
01:32:14.697 --> 01:32:17.367
But you, you are my son...
1342
01:32:19.201 --> 01:32:21.661
and my only child.
1343
01:32:22.496 --> 01:32:24.116
And I am your mother,
1344
01:32:24.206 --> 01:32:27.876
who will, who must,
do anything for you.
1345
01:32:28.711 --> 01:32:30.171
Do you understand?
1346
01:32:37.386 --> 01:32:38.716
I understand.
1347
01:32:40.139 --> 01:32:41.639
I understand.
1348
01:32:41.724 --> 01:32:45.394
And that means you will promise, no
matter the tears, the pleas from her,
1349
01:32:45.478 --> 01:32:50.478
no matter, you promise,
this will end now.
1350
01:33:02.244 --> 01:33:03.704
You promise?
1351
01:33:05.706 --> 01:33:09.706
I promise...
1352
01:33:09.794 --> 01:33:10.924
I promise.
1353
01:33:15.549 --> 01:33:17.379
By late 1747,
1354
01:33:17.468 --> 01:33:19.888
Celeron was marching
with over 200 French troops
1355
01:33:19.970 --> 01:33:22.100
and a party of Indians
down through Pennsylvania.
1356
01:33:22.973 --> 01:33:25.853
And then Southwest,
over here to the Ohio country,
1357
01:33:25.935 --> 01:33:29.015
reaching Pickawillany where the
Ohio and Miami rivers meet
1358
01:33:29.105 --> 01:33:34.355
and where Celeron engaged with the
Miami Indian chief known as Old Briton
1359
01:33:34.443 --> 01:33:38.413
who he threatened for continuing
to trade with the British.
1360
01:33:43.661 --> 01:33:45.701
I have a wonderful
weekend planned.
1361
01:33:45.788 --> 01:33:47.618
Going to Kenyon
with some brothers.
1362
01:33:47.706 --> 01:33:49.518
That prick Harding just
sprang another paper on us.
1363
01:33:49.542 --> 01:33:50.752
There goes my weekend.
1364
01:33:50.835 --> 01:33:52.835
Harding? What are you
complaining about?
1365
01:33:56.632 --> 01:33:59.892
Had it last year. I
have it upstairs somewhere.
1366
01:34:06.475 --> 01:34:08.555
That'd be great.
You know I still owe you
1367
01:34:08.644 --> 01:34:10.404
for that Nestrick paper
from last year.
1368
01:34:10.479 --> 01:34:12.229
No problem, anytime.
1369
01:34:12.314 --> 01:34:15.114
Sonny says you're in the
market for a proxy at chapel.
1370
01:34:15.192 --> 01:34:17.612
I got it all out of the way
by the end of sophomore year,
1371
01:34:17.695 --> 01:34:20.565
and I just polished off
Kessler's last three,
1372
01:34:20.656 --> 01:34:22.446
so I'm a free agent.
1373
01:34:22.533 --> 01:34:24.663
Sonny says
you're on scholarship.
1374
01:34:24.743 --> 01:34:28.913
I'll cut my fee
to a buck and a half. Deal?
1375
01:34:28.998 --> 01:34:30.328
Sure.
1376
01:34:32.626 --> 01:34:36.666
By definition, the slope
is given by m,
1377
01:34:37.798 --> 01:34:41.258
which is the change in y
over the change in x,
1378
01:34:41.343 --> 01:34:46.973
or delta y by delta x.
1379
01:35:11.040 --> 01:35:14.920
Yes, I'm trying to
reach Miss Olivia Hutton? Is she there?
1380
01:35:17.046 --> 01:35:21.756
Uh-huh. Yes, that's me.
I left word yesterday.
1381
01:35:23.552 --> 01:35:24.802
I know.
1382
01:35:27.264 --> 01:35:28.974
What was that?
1383
01:35:31.560 --> 01:35:32.900
Home?
1384
01:35:32.978 --> 01:35:35.858
You mean she's visiting home?
1385
01:35:56.961 --> 01:35:59.211
Is Dean Caudwell free?
If he has a minute.
1386
01:35:59.296 --> 01:36:03.006
Why don't you have a seat and
we'll find out if he can see you.
1387
01:36:23.946 --> 01:36:26.566
Dean Caudwell,
Marcus Messner is here.
1388
01:36:26.657 --> 01:36:28.027
Bring him in.
1389
01:36:40.796 --> 01:36:42.006
You look well, Marcus.
1390
01:36:42.589 --> 01:36:45.759
Maybe lost a pound or two
but otherwise you look fine.
1391
01:36:46.969 --> 01:36:49.599
Dean Caudwell...
1392
01:36:49.680 --> 01:36:51.560
I don't know
who else to turn to
1393
01:36:51.640 --> 01:36:54.350
about something
that is very important to me.
1394
01:36:55.894 --> 01:36:57.774
I didn't mean to throw up here,
you know.
1395
01:36:57.855 --> 01:37:01.065
You fell ill and you were
sick and that's that.
1396
01:37:02.109 --> 01:37:05.319
Lucky we got you
to the hospital in time.
1397
01:37:06.196 --> 01:37:07.736
What can I do for you?
1398
01:37:11.243 --> 01:37:13.203
I'm here
about a female student.
1399
01:37:14.747 --> 01:37:19.497
She was in my history class.
And now she is gone.
1400
01:37:19.585 --> 01:37:22.585
I told you I'd been on one date,
it had been with her.
1401
01:37:22.671 --> 01:37:25.801
Her name
is Olivia Hutton.
1402
01:37:25.883 --> 01:37:28.393
Now she's disappeared.
1403
01:37:28.469 --> 01:37:30.259
I would like to know
what happened to her.
1404
01:37:30.346 --> 01:37:33.596
I'm afraid something
terrible happened.
1405
01:37:33.682 --> 01:37:35.852
And I'm afraid I may have had
something to do with it.
1406
01:37:36.894 --> 01:37:39.614
What is it you think you did
that makes you think this?
1407
01:37:43.275 --> 01:37:44.775
I took her out on a date.
1408
01:37:44.860 --> 01:37:48.860
Did something happen on that
date you want to tell me about?
1409
01:37:50.366 --> 01:37:51.486
No, sir.
1410
01:37:53.035 --> 01:37:57.455
Dean... I'm 'Dean'
to you, please.
1411
01:37:57.539 --> 01:38:01.289
The answer is no,
Dean Caudwell.
1412
01:38:01.377 --> 01:38:03.667
Nothing happened that I would
like to tell you about.
1413
01:38:06.715 --> 01:38:08.755
Did you impregnate
this young lady, Marcus?
1414
01:38:08.842 --> 01:38:10.682
What?! No!
1415
01:38:12.054 --> 01:38:14.394
You sure?
Absolutely sure.
1416
01:38:14.515 --> 01:38:18.265
She wasn't pregnant as
far as you know? No.
1417
01:38:18.352 --> 01:38:21.442
You didn't force
yourself on Olivia Hutton?
1418
01:38:21.522 --> 01:38:24.272
No, sir. I did not force
myself on her.
1419
01:38:26.902 --> 01:38:29.452
She came and visited you in your
hospital room, did she not?
1420
01:38:29.530 --> 01:38:33.830
Uh, yes.
Yes, she did, Dean.
1421
01:38:33.909 --> 01:38:36.159
According to a member
of the hospital staff,
1422
01:38:36.245 --> 01:38:39.075
something occurred between the
two of you at the hospital,
1423
01:38:39.164 --> 01:38:44.254
something sordid occurred that
was observed and duly noted.
1424
01:38:44.336 --> 01:38:47.006
Yet you say you didn't
force yourself on her.
1425
01:38:47.089 --> 01:38:49.219
I had just had
my appendix taken out!
1426
01:38:49.299 --> 01:38:51.839
That doesn't answer
my question.
1427
01:38:52.845 --> 01:38:54.175
No sir, I did not.
1428
01:38:54.263 --> 01:38:57.523
I've never used force
on anyone in my life.
1429
01:38:57.599 --> 01:38:58.979
I've never had to.
1430
01:38:59.059 --> 01:39:02.599
"You didn't have to."
May I ask what that means?
1431
01:39:02.688 --> 01:39:05.108
No. No, you can't.
1432
01:39:07.067 --> 01:39:09.357
Dean Caudwell, this is very
hard for me to talk about.
1433
01:39:09.445 --> 01:39:13.195
But I do think that whatever happened
in the privacy of my hospital room
1434
01:39:13.282 --> 01:39:15.452
was strictly
between Olivia and myself.
1435
01:39:15.534 --> 01:39:18.044
Perhaps
and perhaps not.
1436
01:39:18.871 --> 01:39:21.211
Especially in light
of the circumstances.
1437
01:39:22.958 --> 01:39:24.378
Why?
1438
01:39:24.460 --> 01:39:27.880
Olivia Hutton had a nervous
breakdown, Marcus.
1439
01:39:29.214 --> 01:39:32.014
She had to be taken away
in an ambulance.
1440
01:39:41.393 --> 01:39:45.063
I really don't know what goes
into a nervous breakdown.
1441
01:39:47.149 --> 01:39:52.069
You lose control over yourself and
your emotions, like an infant.
1442
01:39:53.322 --> 01:39:58.082
You have to be hospitalized
and cared for like an infant
1443
01:39:58.160 --> 01:40:02.500
until you recover,
if you ever do recover.
1444
01:40:03.707 --> 01:40:06.457
The college took a chance
with Olivia Hutton.
1445
01:40:06.543 --> 01:40:09.553
We knew her mental
history, the relapses,
1446
01:40:09.630 --> 01:40:11.590
the electroshock treatments.
1447
01:40:11.673 --> 01:40:14.093
But her father is
a Cleveland surgeon
1448
01:40:14.176 --> 01:40:16.796
and a distinguished alumnus
at Winesburg,
1449
01:40:17.679 --> 01:40:20.139
and so we took her in
at Dr. Hutton's request.
1450
01:40:21.517 --> 01:40:23.847
Things didn't work out
well for any of us.
1451
01:40:25.145 --> 01:40:27.555
They especially didn't
work out for Olivia.
1452
01:40:29.066 --> 01:40:30.316
She is where?
1453
01:40:30.400 --> 01:40:33.450
At a hospital specializing
in psychiatric care.
1454
01:40:34.571 --> 01:40:37.281
She can't possibly be
pregnant, too.
1455
01:40:37.366 --> 01:40:39.736
Time will tell.
1456
01:40:43.163 --> 01:40:44.333
It's not me.
1457
01:40:47.209 --> 01:40:48.839
What was reported to us
1458
01:40:48.919 --> 01:40:50.879
about your conduct
at the hospital
1459
01:40:51.004 --> 01:40:54.724
suggests it could be, Marcus. I
don't care what it suggests.
1460
01:40:55.884 --> 01:41:01.724
Dean Caudwell, I will not be condemned
on the basis of no evidence.
1461
01:41:03.100 --> 01:41:09.190
Sir, I resent once again
your portrayal of me.
1462
01:41:09.273 --> 01:41:13.033
I did not have sexual
intercourse with Olivia Hutton.
1463
01:41:13.110 --> 01:41:16.110
I have never had sexual
intercourse with anyone.
1464
01:41:16.196 --> 01:41:21.156
Nobody in this world could possibly
be pregnant because of me.
1465
01:41:21.243 --> 01:41:22.663
It is impossible!
1466
01:41:22.744 --> 01:41:24.664
Marcus, it is possible...
1467
01:41:24.746 --> 01:41:26.706
Oh, fuck you it is!
1468
01:42:59.007 --> 01:43:02.137
To what do we owe this
outbreak of moral laxity?
1469
01:43:02.219 --> 01:43:04.969
To what do we owe
this shameful fall from grace,
1470
01:43:05.055 --> 01:43:07.095
and from Winesburg tradition?
1471
01:43:07.182 --> 01:43:10.352
A drunken brawl outside
The Owl this weekend.
1472
01:43:10.435 --> 01:43:13.055
Two students
suspended for cheating
1473
01:43:13.146 --> 01:43:16.016
on their mathematics
mid-term examination.
1474
01:43:17.818 --> 01:43:19.438
Let there be no mistake,
1475
01:43:19.528 --> 01:43:23.448
as God looks scornfully down
upon this assembly today,
1476
01:43:23.532 --> 01:43:27.162
he regards a community
that has lost its way.
1477
01:43:27.244 --> 01:43:31.674
God's all-encompassing
vision will from this day forward
1478
01:43:31.748 --> 01:43:33.788
find ample supplement
1479
01:43:33.875 --> 01:43:38.125
with a renewed and reinvigorated
supervision from me
1480
01:43:38.213 --> 01:43:41.053
and from the entire
administrative staff.
1481
01:43:41.133 --> 01:43:45.393
Let there be
no mistake about that.
1482
01:44:27.262 --> 01:44:31.392
I wonder if
everyone, after they die,
1483
01:44:31.475 --> 01:44:35.015
remembers all the little details
and decisions they made,
1484
01:44:35.103 --> 01:44:39.193
all the reasons they ended up
ending the exact way they did.
1485
01:44:42.360 --> 01:44:44.490
That's how I am...
1486
01:44:44.571 --> 01:44:46.701
I remember,
and replay those things,
1487
01:44:46.782 --> 01:44:50.372
even if I can't remember how
long I've been remembering...
1488
01:44:50.452 --> 01:44:52.622
maybe it's been forever.
1489
01:44:53.288 --> 01:44:55.458
And I speak to everyone...
1490
01:44:56.500 --> 01:45:00.590
Ma, Pa, Olivia, everyone,
1491
01:45:01.630 --> 01:45:05.380
even if they've been dead
already a million years,
1492
01:45:06.301 --> 01:45:10.761
but I keep speaking
to them. Forever...
1493
01:45:23.443 --> 01:45:24.443
Hey!
1494
01:45:50.554 --> 01:45:52.724
Can you hear me, Olivia?
1495
01:45:54.933 --> 01:45:57.563
Can you hear me
when I tell you that it's okay,
1496
01:45:58.353 --> 01:46:02.443
whatever it is, that it's okay?
1497
01:46:07.612 --> 01:46:09.662
Because someone did love you.
1498
01:46:13.076 --> 01:46:15.036
At least I think that's what it was.
1499
01:46:18.707 --> 01:46:20.247
And you should know that.
1500
01:46:22.294 --> 01:46:24.344
You should know, Olivia.
1501
01:46:26.798 --> 01:46:28.088
You should know.
1502
01:46:30.010 --> 01:46:32.760
Mrs. Anderson?
1503
01:46:32.846 --> 01:46:34.216
Olivia?
1504
01:46:34.681 --> 01:46:36.061
Your pills.
