#If you hear #
# A song in blue #
# For the dew #
# That was my heart #
# Serenading you #
# My prelude to #
# A kiss #
I love...
the little sign when you buy
your ticket to the rollercoaster-
"Ride at your own risk."
As if the management is not
at all concerned with your safety,
the entire contraption
is about to collapse,
and to top it off,
there are supernatural powers
out there...
just waiting to pull you
off the tracks...
and out into your worst,
cruelest nightmare-
the wild blue.
They want you to believe
that anything can happen.
And they're right.
Open that window.
# Spendin' cash
talkin' trash #
# Good-bye, I showed you
a real good time #
# Come along with me and
- Hey, Terry. I'm splitting.
- Hey, Pete. Did you meet-
Rita.
No. Hi.
- Hi.
- Peter, Rita. Rita, Peter.
- Actually, I'm gonna go-
- What' s everybody drinking?
- Rit?
- Oh.
- Can I fill you up there?
- I'll have another Dewar's, thanks.
- Pete?
- Uh, no, thank you. I'm -
Oh, don't worry. I'll get it.
You two just relax.
So, one, uh, Dewar's,
and one, uh, beer.
#I love myself
I want you to love me #
# When I feel down #
# I want you above me #
# I want you to find me #
# I want you to remind me #
# I don't want anybody else #
How do you know
the Sokols?
I don't.
Except from the hall.
- Oh, you're a neighbor?
- I couldn't sleep.
Oh, really? Why?
How long have you lived here?
I haven't slept
since I was 14. Two years.
Did you say you hadn't slept
since you were 14?
Pretty much.
You look great,
considering.
Thank you.
- Rita what?
- Uh, Boyle.
Peter Hoskins.
- Hoskins?
- As in "Hoskin's disease. "
Oh, Hodgkin.
No, no.
It was just
a nonhumorous flail.
- What?
- # I don't want #
# Anybody else #
- # When I think about you I touch myself #
- I like your shirt.
# I don't want anybody else #
- Dewar's, madam.
- Thank you.
- No beer. Sorry.
- Wine's fine, thanks.
Rita has insomnia.
Oh, yeah?
Listen, I gotta pee.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Forgive me.
So, what do you do
when you're not not sleeping?
Oh, I usually write
in my journal.
You mean, for a living?
I'm a bartender.
- Oh, really, where?
- Yeah. At the Tin Market.
You work Saturdays?
Well, you must
make good money.
- What are your aspirations in that case?
- I'm, like, a graphic designer.
Oh, great.
So, why can't you sleep?
You know what's good?
I forget what it's called.
It's an herb.
- I tried it.
- Didn't work?
I can't remember what it's called
either. My memory's terrible.
Maybe that's why you can't sleep-
Well, if you need any help
getting to sleep, I -
Sorry.
Nice talking to you.
You too.
just listening to the silence.
which window was hers,
and what her life
might be like,
and why she couldn't sleep.
Like that.
The spell was cast.
# There's always something
in the road #
# Always something in the road #
# Keeping me from
the one thing #
# That I want #
# The one thing
I will never have #
Hi.
Oh, hi.
Is this all right?
No, I'm sorry.
You can never come in here.
What's new?
Since yesterday?
Let's see.
So much has happened.
You look great.
What will you drink?
Do you have Molson?
- Did you get some sleep?
- Eventually.
- You?
- Sleep? Oh.
I don't have
any trouble.
But let's see.
I read The White Hotel
today.
Oh.
That was pretty much it.
How was it?
- Did you read it?
- No.
But I read some of the case histories
