London Page #3

Synopsis: In New York, the drug-addicted Syd is consumed by drink and drugs - missing his girlfriend London, who broke up with him six months ago after a two-year relationship. When Syd finds that London's friends throw a going away party for her, he decides to go to the party without an invitation. But first he meets the banker and drug-dealer, Bateman, in a bar to buy coke, and he invites his new acquaintance to go to the party with him. While locked in the bathroom with Bateman snorting coke and drinking booze, Syd recalls moments of his relationship with London, inclusive that he had never said "I love you" to his girlfriend despite her countless requests. Bateman also "open his heart" under the influence of cocaine and tells his impotence problem to Syd; in the end he convinces Syd to talk to London.

lt's truly remarkable, but at the same|time, it's utterly f***ing disturbing.

l mean, we're the same people|that were living in Roman times...

...throwing boiling oil on each other|and crucifying Christians.

Not that that's entirely a bad thing.

Hey, Syd, are you in there?|lt's Maya.

Oh, f***! F*** me.

-F***, f***. Give me one second.|-What the f*** have you done?

-Sorry. F***.|-You clumsy bastard.

-What have you f***ing done?|-Sh*t.

Look at that.

lt's covered in f***ing beer.

-F***.|-Oh, my God.

What are you gonna do?

-Goddamn it, Syd.|-lnstant karma.

-l got it.|-That's enough to give up blasphemy.

-Get up here.|-No, we can totally save this.

What are you gonna do,|eat food off the floor?

-F***ing gross.|-Do me a favor.

-God f***ing damn it.|-God, is this it?

-Yes.|-Are you kidding?

-No, it's my f***ing fault too.|-Just snort it off the floor.

You don't wanna do that. l shouldn't|have put it by the f***ing sink.

What are you doing?

-What's that?|-As l said, all is not lost.

-Bateman, Jesus Christ.|-Oh, my God, you f***ing rock.

-Do you know this painting?|-No.

lt's Van Gogh's|Wheatfield with Crows.

The most significant painting|the man's ever painted.

-Oh, well, then.|-F***, it's true.

That'll do for starters, won't it?

Look, this is the last painting|the man did before he killed himself.

lt's his suicide note. He even put|his left ear in the f***ing clouds.

There is his mutilated left ear.

Can you see it? Not everyone sees it,|of course, but there it is.

He mutilated his left ear|and put it in the f***ing painting.

What does that mean?

Maya, l'm curious.|Do you believe in God?

You guys have been doing|too many drugs.

Answer the question. Yes or no?

God, that's a really long|conversation...

...but l will tell you something l read|the other day that freaked me out.

l don't remember where it was.

lt was like Russia or Germany|or one of these places...

...but these scientists,|they took this pregnant rabbit...

...and they hooked up to,|like, a heart monitor and an EE G...

...which sensors your brain waves.

And, like, the second after she gives|birth, they take these babies...

...and they jump in a van|and they start shooting them...

...one by one in the back of the head|with, like, a .22 rifle.

From, like one mile away:

Five miles away:
|Twenty miles away--

Don't tell me people are|killing little bunny rabbits.

What's so interesting|is that every time they'd shoot...

...one of these poor babies|in the back of the head...

...the mother's heartbeat|and brain waves would go crazy.

So l'm just saying there's,|you know, sh*t like that, and then--

The mother knew the babies|were getting shot--
