Cold Souls Page #5

When you talk of your-

I'm sorry.

When you speak of your love for

me, I don't know what to say. I'm

sorry.

- I can't say anything.

- Mmm.

Oh, God!

If only you knew how much I suffer...

to think that right next to me

another life is wasted-yours!

What are you waitin' for?

What damned philosophy

is keepin' ya from livin', woman?

Uh, okay. Uh, that's it. Let's-Let's go

home.

- Thank you.

- Yeah?

Great work today.

- Huh. Wow, she is great.

- Yeah. Can we talk?

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Yeah.

So, uh, you realize that we have a

week left?

Now I think youre taking it,

uh, a little seriously, Frank.

And relax. We'll be fine.

We just need to focus on act four.

That's all.

Paul, we're out of time.

And I don't understand

what the f*** is going on.

Well-

Frank- Frank, I'm just trying to give

him-

another dimension.

- Another dimension?

- Yeah!

You know, I don't think

that he should always be so passive.

Hmm? So hopeless. It's just-

Why are you looking at me like that,

Frank?

I can't. I can't. I can't do it. I can't.

Um, it's death. It's death inside!

Doctor, um, I'm dry as a bone.

Nothin'. I can't feel a thing. Nothing.

I can't feel anything.

You see. I'm-

I'm about to lose my job.

I can't make love to my wife.

- I wish you'd told me about the side

effects, Doc.

- But we don't know.

- The soul is a mystery.

- Ohh.

Everyone reacts differently-

to the same extent that each soul is

unique.

Soullessness has its own peculiarities.

Now, however, I can offer you an

alternative.

An alternative? What are you talking

about now?

We receive a substantial

number of souls from anonymous

donors-

- from writers, musicians-

- All right...

...poets-

- dancers, painters.

- Mm-hmm.

We also import souls from Russia...

in case you're interested in a Russian

soul.

- You import souls?

- Yes.

Well, at the moment.

The industry isn't quite regulated

yet.

Last time I was here, uh, Doctor...

I believe that I said that

this was completely insane.

Yes, you did.

Now, but may I ask you one

question?

Have you had one dark thought

in the last week?

No.

Have you been able to perform

Vanya

without feeling distressed?

- Yes.

- So it works to a certain extent.

- Doctor!

- One step at a time.

This is not an exact science.

But I will guarantee you one thing.

The moment you get your soul back...

you will feel the unbearable weight

again-

and you will not be able to perform

at all.

Okay. Okay. What should I do?

Pick a soul.

"Brooklyn novelist. Hollywood

screenwriter.

"Brazilian songwriter.

Russian poet."

Russian poet.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Over here.

How much longer do you intend to

do this?
