Across The Universe Page #6

Synopsis: Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and animation, the film is paired with many songs by The Beatles that defined the time.

You know, he's so twisted,

he'll bend his way out of this fix.

Hope you're right.

I am right.

I love the bugger.

- Do you have the draft in England?

- Not anymore.

Well, I'd have been exempt

as a shipyard worker.

You should've studied art.

Yeah.

Well, I had to bring money

into the house.

So I joined the ranks

of the great unwashed.

Here. Come here.

Come here.

A little closer.

I just wanna get your eyes right.

You two, scram!

You're defacing city property.

- Oh, sh*t.

- What are you talking about?

This was just a crappy wall

and now it's a work of art.

You want me to come down there?

Please do come down.

You'll scuff up them shiny black boots.

Idiot.

Sh*t! Come on, you don't want to

get in trouble with the law.

- Let's go!

- Go! Go, go, go.

Jude, Jude, come here. Come here.

If I fell in love with you

Would you promise to be true

And help me understand

'Cause I've been in love before

And I found that love was more

Than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you

I must be sure from the very start

That you would love me

More than her

If I trust in you

Oh, please, don't run and hide

If I love you too

Oh, please, don't hurt my pride

Like her

'Cause I couldn't stand the pain

And I would be sad if our new love

Was in vain

So that's the way it is.

Yeah. That's the way it is.

Yeah, well, speaking as a brother,

I think she could do better.

Max, get out.

Well, excuse me, but as blissful as

you are in the throes of young love...

...l'm just letting you know

I got a date with Uncle Sam.

I want you

I want you so bad

I want you so bad

It's drivin' me mad

Any reason you shouldn't

be in this man's Army, son?

I'm a cross-dressing homosexual

pacifist with a spot on my lung.

Long as you don't have flat feet.

You know what really pisses me off?

Is I swallowed all those cotton balls...

...and they never even

took an x-ray.

- You still have options, man.

- Yeah, jail or Canada...

...and they both suck.

I mean, I could never come home.

So, what is it?

It's a choice of a 6-by-4 cell or an

endless wasteland of frozen tundra.

- Montreal's cool.

- Man, they speak French.

So learn French.

Learn French or die.

You think Sadie knows?

Knows what?

Let me see.

- No way.

- You look gorgeous.

Sadie, come on. What...?

- It's my band, honey.

- I can't wear this.

It's Tuxedo Club. For my 'do.

Yeah?

- Cool.

- Don't start.

What is it, Max?

Prudence. Come on, sweet pea.

We all love you.

- How long's she been in there?

- All night, I guess.

- Come on, Pru.

- What's going on?

It's Prudence.

I think she's hung up on me.

Dear Prudence

Won't you come out to play?

Dear Prudence

Greet the brand-new day
