Kill Your Darlings Page #2
No, Mom, he's not here.
Look, I will be there as soon as I can.
I need you tonight.
I need you to promise me.
I promise. I love you.
Bye.
Coming?
Welcome to the edge of the world.
Allen in Wonderland.
- Do you know her?
- No, and I don't plan on it.
She tasted like imported
sophistication and domestic cigarettes.
Dave, where's the liquor'?
I'll be right back.
You are pinching.
- You are pinching.
- I'm sorry.
You okay?
What's that?
Nitrous oxide for narco analysis.
Know thyself and beshit thyself.
You ever done that?
No thanks. I don't do the cannabis.
Show me the man who is
both sober and happy,
and I will show you the crinkled anus
of a lying a**hole.
Allen, Willy. Willy, Allen.
Lucien, reefer.
Nice meeting you.
- Is he a criminal?
- He wishes he were a criminal.
The Burroughs family is richer than God.
- Well, he looks like a criminal.
- He's a Harvard man.
He's going to be an amazing artist.
His current medium is himself.
- What's that?
- It's bunk for school.
Come on. I want you to meet our host.
What we have, darlings and
demoiselles, is a circle.
Life is round.
Patterns, routines,
a wheel of self-abuse.
Margaret, don't even deny it.
- He sounds like you.
- Because it was me first.
Until the disruption
we long for comes along
and the circle is broken.
He used to be my guardian angel,
but he said I was too much work.
Take this unbloomed stalwart.
And you are?
Allen.
Allen.
Play nice, David.
- Who comes uninvited to my apartment.
- Actually, I invited him.
No one notices him.
Look at him. Why would we bother'?
So the pattern of our lives holds.
But who knows?
Under the right circumstances,
even he might change the world.
In the distance I heard a sound
So you met Lucien in the lunch line,
and now he's all that you can see.
Why don't you like me?
Because David was in the
same godforsaken line.
And then
Some ear job at the
bar just called me kid,
so I stole his drink.
That's Ogden Nash.
Who's Ogden Nash? - The
best-selling poet in the country.
Perhaps you've heard this one.
"The girl who is bespectacled
she may not get her nectacled
"But safety pins and bassinets... "
"Await the girl who fassinets. "
And that's what he's
selling? I'll kill him.
Aim for the throat.
No. We're not going to kill him.
Even better, we're going to
make sure nobody remembers him.
How many men started the Renaissance?
- Two.
- And the Romantics?
More, I suspect, than
this theory accommodates.
We're sending millions to Europe to
fight the fascists, but they're here.
- Metre and rhyme...
- And Professor Steeves.
Yes!
They're all guards in some prison.
