Get you a hundred jackets like that.

How long you lived here?

About two weeks.

(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)

I don't like it.

COOK:
It's all for sale.

All of it...

honors, titles.

This, none of this exists.

What do you see?

Pool?

It's a stage show.

It's all just free fall.

(SPRINKLER SPUTTERING)

You have too much pride.

I thought pride was a good thing.

People aren't proud enough.

WOMAN:
Selfish!

WOMAN:
Arrogant! Conceited!

If you know what's good for you,

you will stay as far away

from this man as you possibly can!

FAYE:
People changed around him.

They did things.

So did I.

COOK:
He leaves us alone this way.

Because he wants to be free.

All his life, he's tried to get free.

He doesn't know how.

COOK:
You aren't who you think you are.

He doesn't love you.

I like you this way.

FAYE:
I wanted to be free the way he was.

(DISTORTED BREATHING, MOANING)

I went on seeing him.

I Let myself be smashed.

(CLUB MUSIC PLAYING)

COOK:
You can't?

Well, why can't you?

Do you trust me to stick

your finger in here?

FAYE:
He did everything.

He exhausted every poison.

He knew every form of love,

suffering, madness.

He said I had an important lesson in life:

Learn all the rules when you're young,

'cause that makes Mom and Dad happy.

And then throw the f***ing

lot of them out the window.

MAN:
And they want you to!

They want you to!

FAYE:
So that he could reach the unknown.

He experimented.

(SERENE MUSIC PLAYING)

FAYE:
They scare you with names.

Like wickedness.

You liked it; that I did what I liked.

(ENGINES HUMMING)

I pulled you down in the car.

PATTI SMITH:
You realize that, um...

you know, it's like the sea.

Things come in and out.

We feel happy and ecstatic.

And then, you know, hours later,

you know, we feel

the deepest sorrows, or...

FAYE:
I didn't believe enough in love.

Afraid it would burn me up.

PATTI SMITH:
Be ready to suffer.

PATTI SMITH:
Don't be afraid.

I saw my husband.

I saw this boy across the room.

And I loved... I...

I just...

loved him the first moment I saw him.

And we had a life.

And it was beautiful,

and it was difficult.

And I thought I would be

with him for the rest of my life.

But he died.

(CHILDREN SHOUTING GLEEFULLY)

(AIR HISSING)

FAYE:
I wanted to escape from every tie.

Every hold.

To have fife at any price.

Not to settle.

To go up...

("ROLLIN' AND TUMBLIN'"

BY BOB DYLAN PLAYING)

Higher.-...

free.

(JET ENGINES WAILING)

I rolled and Humbled,

I cried the whole night long

I rolled and Humbled,

I cried the whole night long

Woke up this mornin',

I must've bet my money wrong...

(TOY SQUEAKING)

I got troubles so hard,

I can't stand the strain

I got troubles so hard..-
