Don Juan Demarco Page #2

Synopsis: Well-respected psychiatrist Dr. Jack Mickler is only 10 days away from his retirement. A week before he is due to leave, he encounters a young man who attempts suicide--would be a pretty straightforward case except the young man claims to be Don Juan, the fabled Spanish nobleman and world renowned seducer/lover of woman. Despite original hostility from his co-workers, Jack manages to persuade his associates to put the youth in his care for 10 days after which the youth will undergo an evaluation to be either released from psychiatric care or sent to a mental institution. However, as the 10 days progresses, Dr. Mickler and the other staff become gradually drawn into to the young man's exotic world of love, passion and pleasure as he recounts his story to them. Whilst doing so the man's philosophies and zeal for life and love begins to revive Dr. Mickler's somewhat passionless relationship with his wife, Marilyn as well as challenging his own views and ethics to the point where both he a

I'm always the bad boy in these.

Who wants him?

I do.

- Wait a minute.|- Don't be exasperated.

Jack, wait a minute.|Are you not retiring?

Of course I'm retiring, but I think|this is a big hell of a swan song.

This sounds like a long-term case|the way you described it.

I'm gonna give it to Bill.|Do you have time?

Wait. Hold on one second.

No offence. I'd like to discuss|this in some detail.

Can we do talk about it later?|Is that all right?

I look forward to it.

I want this kid.

Be reasonable.

- You're leaving in 10 days.|- So's the kid.

No, no, no.

A delusional patient like this does not|get cured in a week and a half.

The instant his 10-day paper|expires, he'll be committed.

Then we'll have to|transfer him to Bill anyway.

If this was a year ago...

...and I said I could get this kid|out of here in 10 days...

...there wouldn't be any doubt.

Well, that's probably true.

Yes. So that's not the real reason|you're giving him to Bill.

You've been doing it|by the numbers for months now.

You know it. You're burnt out.

That's why you asked|for early retirement.

You don't need more time|to travel with Marilyn?

So, please, Jack. Don't make my life|harder for me than it has to be.

How long have I known you?

Twenty-five years we've been|going around like this.

Yes. And during that time, you're|the best damn clinician...

...this place has ever seen.|The best. Everybody knows that.

But now it's time...|You know what? It's time to get away.

Where are you going?|The pyramids? It's wonderful.

All that sand, the sky, those vistas.

You'll have a wonderful time.

I wish you could see your face.

I'm giving him to Bill.

This kid's gonna do a|flamenco number on Bill's head...

...until it looks like a tortilla...

...and it's going|to be on your watch.

Would you, hmm...

Would you like to talk about...

...why you attempted to kill yourself?

You want Don Juan DeMarco,|the world's greatest lover...

...to talk to you?

What do you know of great love?

Have you ever loved a woman...

...until milk leaked from her...

...as though she had just|given birth to love itself...

...and now must feed it or burst?

Have you ever tasted a woman...

...until she believed|that she could be satisfied...

...only by consuming the tongue|that had devoured her?

Have you ever loved|a woman so completely...

...that the sound|of your voice in her ear...

...could cause her body to shudder...

...and explode|with such intense pleasure...

...that only weeping|could bring her full release?

Where is Don Octavio del Flores?

Who?

My host at this villa.

Via?

- Via?|- Villa.

Via?

Oh, villa.

S, villa.

- Villa.|- Villa.

Villa.

Where is Don Octavio?

Lord Byron

George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron (22 January 1788 – 19 April 1824), known as Lord Byron, was a British nobleman, poet, peer, politician, and leading figure in the Romantic movement. He is regarded as one of the greatest British poets and remains widely read and influential. Among his best-known works are the lengthy narrative poems Don Juan and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage as well as the short lyric poem "She Walks in Beauty". He travelled extensively across Europe, especially in Italy, where he lived for seven years in the cities of Venice, Ravenna and Pisa. During his stay in Italy he frequently visited his friend and fellow poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Later in life Byron joined the Greek War of Independence fighting the Ottoman Empire, for which Greeks revere him as a national hero. He died in 1824 at the age of 36 from a fever contracted in Missolonghi. Often described as the most flamboyant and notorious of the major Romantics, Byron was both celebrated and castigated in his life for his aristocratic excesses, which included huge debts, numerous love affairs with both men and women, as well as rumours of a scandalous liaison with his half-sister. One of his lovers, Lady Caroline Lamb, summed him up in the famous phrase "mad, bad, and dangerous to know". His only legitimate child, Ada Lovelace, is regarded as the first computer programmer based on her notes for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine. Byron's illegitimate children include Allegra Byron, who died in childhood, and possibly Elizabeth Medora Leigh. more…
