Kill Your Darlings Page #7

Synopsis: In the early 1940s, Allen Ginsberg is an English major at Columbia University, only to learn more than he bargained for. Dissatisfied by the orthodox attitudes of the school, Allen finds himself drawn to iconoclastic colleagues like Lucien Carr, William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. Together, this gang would explore bold new literary ideas that would challenge the sensibilities of their time as the future Beat Generation. However, for all their creativity, their very appetites and choices lead to more serious transgressions that would mark their lives forever.

Sure.

I'm looking for a book.

Okay-

- Does this book have a title?

- Yes. Yes.

It's called The Day Amanda Came.

Well, you'll have lo wait.

I can't leave the desk.

I really need it.

Okay-

Only for you.

Sh*t.

So working here must be a drag.

I like it. It's the

only way I meet boys.

They're very, very strict at Barnard.

Oh, really? How strict?

Well, for example, they

would never let me do this.

Right. No.

Go.

Did you know I've never done it

with someone who was Jewish before?

I'm really excited to

see what it looks like.

Well...

I'm sorry.

I thought you were saying

something, but not saying it.

Should we find your book?

The key.

There is no book.

- Take it off.

- Really?

- You. You take it off.

- Oh, okay.

I'm not a virgin. I have done

it with four guys already.

You're kind of a virgin though, huh?

- No.

- Liar.

See, if you have done it before,

you'll last for 30 seconds.

Stan counting.

One,

two...

Three...

Four...

Five...

Six,

seven,

eight...

Nine...

I knew it.

I bet you don't even read.

I do.

This is it, guys. This is our Bastille.

No chickening out.

Excuse me.

I think I saw some light

or movement in the library.

What just happened?

We know you're here!

Come on.

Lu?

Bill, what the hell? It's locked!

This way.

I think they're this way.

We know you're here.

Come out!

Hey!

Lu, that's enough! What's

wrong with you? Come on.

Not yet. We have to finish.

Enough now! It's over!

Let me go! Allen!

Let go! Let...

Allen! Get off of me.

- One prick.

- Allen.

Allen!

Let's go!

You guys open this

goddamn door right now.

Open this f***ing door right now.

Open the f*** up. Open the...

The South Hall library is a church

and these are the sacraments...

Oh, m)'

God.

- To literacy.

- To literacy indeed.

- Jack, that's you, isn't it?

- Yup. Last year.

They still won.

Look at them.

Souvenir history.

To make people think they

left some mark on the world.

Because otherwise,

nobody would ever know.

I never want to end up on that wall.

Have no fear. You never will.

What's he doing here?

Since you didn't stop by earlier,

I just hoped to give you this.

Maybe he didn't want to see you.

I think he can speak for himself.

Yup. He says that we should

all have another round.

You've had plenty of time to celebrate.

Your library high jinks

made the morning paper.

I'm sure you're all very proud.

How do you know it was us?

Did he use that Bastille

line? 'Cause I gave it to him.

I haven't seen you for days.

You left this at my place.

You told the guards we were

there. Nobody else knew.

You wanted me to get kicked

out. You ratted on me.

Stop, Lu. You're losing control.
