Mr. Nobody Page #2

Synopsis: In the year 2092, one hundred eighteen year old Nemo is recounting his life story to a reporter. He is less than clear, often times thinking that he is only thirty-four years of age. But his story becomes more confusing after he does focus on the fact of his current real age. He tells of his life at three primary points in his life: at age nine (when his parents divorced), age sixteen and age thirty-four. The confusing aspect of the story is that he tells of alternate life paths, often changing course with the flick of a decision at each of those ages. One life path has him ultimately married to Elise, a depressed woman who never got over the unrequited love she had for a guy named Stefano when she was a teenager and who asked Nemo to swear that when she died he would sprinkle her ashes on Mars. A second life path has him married to Jean. Their life is one of luxury but one also of utter boredom. And a third life path has him in a torrid romance with his step-sister Anna, the two who,

A**hole... you always slapping

just like that...

Can you lend me for some action?

I'm gonna tell her:

Jungle-girl, are you aware

of who I am?

I am Jacques Cousteau,

get prepared for some exploration!

Jacques Cousteau explored

the oceans, not the jungle, a**hole.

Who did the jungle?

How should I know?

- What about home?

- What about it?

Have you got anywhere to stay?

You can come to my place.

Me, you and the rest of the

country. I'll sleep next to granny?

Yeah, you're gonna

kiss her goodnight too.

Seriously, what do you say?

- He's staying at your place?

- Yes

Let's go to the bathroom.

Can I come too?

Did you get pissed off

with something?

You've got this look...

I'm ok.

I had a quarrel with

my mother at home.

And you got dressed like

a nun to punish her?

Where is that blouse

we bought together?

Wait...

Put this on.

Do as I tell you just

once and put it on.

And then we'll do the rest.

Come on hurry,

the guy is waiting.

Are you doing this on purpose?

Yeah. On purpose.

I'm sitting there with my friends.

See you later.

Have you pissed

on your pants, man?

- Where are the drinks?

- I'll go get new ones.

The other one has been released,

how come you buy the drinks?

- I received my bachelor degree.

- What?

I received my bachelor degree.

We'll talk about it later.

I'm going to the barwoman!

- So, a lawyer that is.

- So?

Nothing. Nice...

Life is full of surprises.

So you won't be talking

to us from now on?

Definitely I'll be talking to you.

I'll make you my best client.

I'll see you later.

Would you like to dance?

Why don't you dance?

I'm dancing.

I'm dancing I tell you...

In my thoughts.

I'm ok.

(In Russian) What do you think

you're doing, man?

She is the rat's sister.

Wait. Wait.

I'm sorry for the incident,

my friends are

a pain in the ass sometimes.

Wait!

Since yesterday,

when we...

bumped into each other...

What?

I think about you all the time.

Those friends of yours...

are they Russians?

- How about you?

- Yeah...

No...

I am Nobody.

That's what you'll say to

your friends if they ever ask you.

I was with Nobody!

I was with Nobody!

Let's go inside?

- I have to go.

- We'll be the two of us only.

Really, I've got to go home.

- Can I... can I take you home?

- Have you got a car?

No.

I've got a scooter.

...but I don't have it here

I kind of like that

you don't have a car.

My brother cares only for his car.

That is why I'm saying this.

I know.

Do you know Tybalt?

Give him my regards.

Regards from Nobody?

Afterwards...

are you going back...

to the night club?

Maybe. I don't know.

- Why?

- Nothing...

Yesterday, when

I saw you at the stairs...
