How are you going to kill

this person?

With a screwdriver

Your wife...

I've been with her since

I was a little boy.

A little boy?

Nothin' little about you now...

As far as I heard, that is.

why are you doin this?

Doin what?

Don't play dumb with me, Billy.

I got husband.

You got a wife

and two kids.

why are you doin this?

'cause I never met you before.

what?

I didn't know you before

I never had this feeling.

You have it too...

Don't you?

I can't afford to, Billy.

All I see from this is blue tomorrows

OK, cuts.

That was brilliant

We're moving on...

Check the gate please.

Camera reload.

- Good, good.

- 27 for lunch.

- Did you feel good about

it? - Yeah, I felt great. - Ok

So we're going to leave this lovely weather?

- Freddy, did you have an ashtray..

- I had one...

Going well?

Very well, thank you, Freddy.

Very enjoyable

Enjoyable, yes,

thats is the word.

Are you enjoying yourself Freddy?

Well, there is a vast

network, right?

An ocean of possibilities

I like dogs.

It used to raise rabbits

I've always loved animals.

Their nature...

...how they think...

I saw dogs reason their way

out of problems.

watched them think through the

trickiest situation.

Do you have a couple of bucks I can borrow?

I've got this terrible landlord.

Thanks.

I got a lot of nerve, I know.

It seems like only yesterday

I was carrying my own weight.

is the 19 year old neice...

Ever since we went into pre-production,

she's been

...fascinated by Smithie.

Keeps going on and on about Smithie...

...asking in that ancient

foreign voice of hers

Who is playing Smithie?

Where did everyone go?

Sorry she taken

Mr. Berg upstairs

Alright.

I listen to you, but...

...I don't hear him.

Excatly sure what your getting in?

I am going to put my arm around you

I want to hold you close. You don't mind that, do you?

What do you mean?

Sometimes people don't say exactly

what they mean

And you have been guilty of

this all evening.

Now, I'll tell you something.

And I will mean,

...everything I say.

My wife is not a free agent.

I don't allow her that.

The bonds of marriage

are real bonds.

The vows we take,

...we honor and enforce them.

For our selves, by ourselves, or,

if necessary,

they are enforced for us.

Either way, she is...

...bound.

Do you understand this?

There are consequences to one's actions.

And there would, for certain, be consequences to...

...wrong actions.

Dark, they would be, and...

...inescapable.

why instigate a need to suffer?

Bucky J, are you there?

- Is he there?

- Yes, he is there.

I'd say we haven't still got the 2K quite in the right place
