Quiet on the set, please.
- You're a disgrace!
- Mr. Whale?
- Jimmy, privy needs cleanin'.
- Mr. Whale.
Open your eyes.
Now look left.
That's right.
And breathe out.
Good.
Let's see what we've got.
You're a lucky man,
Mr. Whale.
Whatever damage was
done by your stroke,
it left your motor abilities
relatively unimpaired.
Yes, Dr. Payne, but what about
from the neck upwards?
- What's the story there?
- That's what I'm trying to explain.
The central nervous
system selects items...
from a constant
storm of sensations.
Whatever was killed
in your stroke...
seems to have short-circuited
this mechanism.
So you're saying there's an electrical
storm going on inside my head.
Well, that's as good a
way as any to describe it.
- I've seen far worse cases.
- What about all the rest?
The killing headaches.
The phantom smells.
My inability to
close my eyes...
without thinking of a hundred
things simultaneously.
I've never encountered the
olfactory hallucinations before,
but I'm sure they're related.
- So, what do I do?
- Take the Luminal to sleep...
and whenever you feel
What you're saying is that this isn't
just a case of resting until I'm better,
but that my condition will continue
to deteriorate until the end of my life.
You will take them all,
Mr. Jimmy.
Yes.
Don't you worry, Hanna.
- Good night.
- Thank you.
Ohh!
Oh!
Ohh!
Sh*t.
Everything all right, Mr. Boone?
Yeah, sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you.
It got away from me.
I was just going to buzz Hanna
to bring down some iced tea.
I'd like it very much
if you'd join me.
heaven right now.
Let me ask Hanna
to bring tea for two.
Uh, no. Thanks.
But tea is fine.
Splendid.
Come in, Mr. Boone.
This is my workshop, my studio.
Hardly somewhere where a sweaty
workman should feel out of place.
- Are these your paintings?
- Uh, yes. Yes.
Excuse me,
but, uh, are you famous?
Oh, well, you know what they say:
If you have to ask...
Look, I'm just a guy
who cuts lawns, but, uh,
some of these
do look familiar.
That's because they were
familiar when I painted them.
The one you're looking at is
a copy of a Dutch still life...
And there's a Rembrandt
here somewhere.
Yeah, copies.
I, I... I got ya.
But before I retired, you might
say I had my time in the sun.
Fame, as it were.
- Tell me, do you like motion pictures?
- Yeah, sure. Everybody does.
- Why? Were you an actor?
- Oh, good Lord, no!
No... Well, actually,
I was, in my youth.
But never in Hollywood, no, no.
No, here I was
merely a director.
Really?
- What were some of your movies?
