Dreams That Money Can Buy Page #5

You're in for it now. Go on, ask him. Ask him !

I want a treatment.

The same as my husband was given, of course.

Are you interested in my symptoms ?

Of course not. That was foolish.

Why should he be ?

I hope it won't take long, whatever it is.

I hate this sort of atmosphere.

What a disreputable looking office.

No feeling of solidity.

He doesn't inspire confidence.

What's he up to ? A photograph ?

Why should he give me a photograph ?

Probably wants to see my reaction.

Why don't you scream at him loud

and tell him you don't have any reactions ?

You're living in a shell. This is all nonsense.

Although it is an interesting picture.

The girl has such a sweet face.

Reminds me of myself when I was a girl.

Where is the girl I was ?

Lost in a million lunches, teas, benefits,

charities, matinees.

Who would ever remember me as I was,

silly and romantic ?

Does this man see that ?

Nonsense. It's all nonsense.

But I wrote poetry once.

Where did the poems in me disappear to ?

When did I begin to build this shell around me ?

If I could only break it into bits, break it into bits.

Break it into bits, break it into bits.

Break it into bits, break it into bits...

For you, my forbearing one, my sister.

High-breasted organ

of the prolonged night veneration,

hiding all the heavens within its grace.

Prepare for vengeance

the bed from which I shall be born.

Why do you look at me

as if I were some foreigner...

...who speaks a strange language,

who refuses to assimilate himself

to your familiar ways ?

You know perfectly well that you can be as

easily seduced by an exotic prince

as by one of your own colloquial yokels.

You are a pendulum

that clicks like a metronome

in the space minutes of two inches,

risking the same destruction

that threatens your victims.

Hm. I laugh with you.

But only in risk is an escape possible.

Those who have assured themselves

against all risks are bound to lose all.

Good evening.

We are going to have the privilege tonight

of witnessing one of the most unusual films

ever produced.

Whatever it may lack

in the way of sound and colour,

you may supply out of your own conversations,

and by looking at me.

But, for the real success of this presentation,

I earnestly implore you to collaborate

even more actively.

You all know the principal character in this film.

You have every confidence in him,

and in the economy of his gestures.

To give these gestures their full meaning,

I earnestly request you to follow and to repeat

these gestures as they occur.

Are we agreed ?

Thank you.

All we need now is a revolver.

You see. It's like this book.

People look at one side -

that's for details that are more prosaic :
