King Gustaf: In his novels,
his plays and essays,
3
00:01:17,468 --> 00:01:20,558
this writer has redefined
modern literature.
4
00:01:21,776 --> 00:01:24,039
He has shown us the condition
of modern man,
5
00:01:24,388 --> 00:01:26,781
in all its absurdity
and futility,
6
00:01:27,217 --> 00:01:29,741
with dark humor
and profound insight.
7
00:01:31,351 --> 00:01:34,746
It is our great honor
to recognize this writer today.
8
00:01:36,661 --> 00:01:40,317
The Nobel Prize for Literature
is hereby awarded to...

00:01:41,144 --> 00:01:42,406

[Inner Sam chuckles softly]
21
00:03:14,324 --> 00:03:15,847
So, you took the prize money?
22
00:03:17,283 --> 00:03:18,458
I'm gonna give it away.
23
00:03:19,372 --> 00:03:21,244
Do you really think
that's gonna help?
24
00:03:22,419 --> 00:03:24,377
No. Do you?
25
00:03:25,117 --> 00:03:27,206
If anything,
it might make things worse.
26
00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:30,122
I'm still gonna do it.
27
00:03:31,341 --> 00:03:32,255
Hmm.
28
00:03:33,299 --> 00:03:35,040
So, who are the candidates
for this money?
29
00:03:36,433 --> 00:03:38,696
Whose forgiveness
do you need the most?
30
00:03:40,567 --> 00:03:43,527
You know,
I'm spoiled for choice.
31
00:03:45,485 --> 00:03:49,315
You know this is going to be
a journey through your shame?
32
00:03:50,490 --> 00:03:51,448
Isn't everything?
33
00:03:54,146 --> 00:03:55,147
So then...
34
00:03:59,369 --> 00:04:00,935
We shall begin with Mother.
35
00:04:02,023 --> 00:04:03,024
How could we not?
36
00:04:07,028 --> 00:04:09,379
Child Samuel: Had I
The heavens' embroidered cloth
37
00:04:09,553 --> 00:04:12,033
Enwrought with golden
And silver light
38
00:04:12,207 --> 00:04:15,254
The blue and the dim
And the dark cloth
39
00:04:15,602 --> 00:04:18,518
Of night and light
And the half-light
40
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,260
I'd spread the cloth
Under your feet
41
00:04:21,739 --> 00:04:24,481
- But I, being poor...
- "But I."
42

He's shifting the focus
of the poem.
44
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,882
You were astray
with your emphasis.
45
00:04:35,056 --> 00:04:36,319
[inhales sharply]
46
00:04:37,232 --> 00:04:39,191
[sighs] No, thank you.
47
00:04:43,543 --> 00:04:44,414
What did you say?
48
00:04:45,371 --> 00:04:46,851
I'm happy with the delivery.
49
00:04:47,547 --> 00:04:48,940
And I...
50
00:04:49,288 --> 00:04:50,420
am not.
51
00:04:51,421 --> 00:04:54,119
And I have considered
your suggestion,
52
00:04:54,467 --> 00:04:56,774
and find it inferior to my own.
53
00:04:57,296 --> 00:04:58,253
Either will do.
54
00:05:01,735 --> 00:05:02,736
Either will do.
55
00:05:07,045 --> 00:05:10,614
But I, being poor
Have only my dreams...
56
00:05:11,745 --> 00:05:13,834
I spread my dreams
Under your feet
57
00:05:14,574 --> 00:05:17,360
Tread softly
Because you tread on my dreams

with your poison!

You could only
ever imagine it as you,

00:07:38,718 --> 00:07:40,677
because the whole world is you.

a call for titillation.

So, you did read it?
98
00:10:51,868 --> 00:10:53,260
What a waste.

There is, of course,

Always so clever.
105

eternal ownership over me.

she didn't exactly go quietly.

No.
116

You've already paid her all
the repentance you could afford.
117

You're referring
to what I told her?
118

As she died.
119
00:12:54,860 --> 00:12:56,253
That I had regrets.
120
00:12:56,731 --> 00:13:00,823
And telling her that became
your greatest regret of all.

I knew that,
even as I was telling her.
122

You might name
your scars after her?

Hmm. I might name
my joys as well.

Mr. Joyce,
my name is Samuel Beckett.
144
00:15:38,981 --> 00:15:41,287
I'm studying English
at EÉcole Normale Supérieure,
145
00:15:41,809 --> 00:15:42,897
I'm from Dublin,
146
00:15:43,246 --> 00:15:44,638
and I've a great respect
for your work.
147
00:15:48,555 --> 00:15:51,254
"I'm from Dublin"
was wholly superfluous.
148
00:15:51,428 --> 00:15:53,082
And there would have been
no harm in starting out
149
00:15:53,299 --> 00:15:54,779
with the admiration now,
would there?
150
00:15:56,041 --> 00:15:57,216
No harm at all.

[in English] You know,
Mr. Beckett,
153
00:16:07,792 --> 00:16:09,315
my great shame,
and how could it not be,
154
00:16:09,489 --> 00:16:12,014
is that I... don't know Greek.
155
00:16:14,625 --> 00:16:15,539
Right.
156
00:16:16,453 --> 00:16:18,933
Of course,
I can handle modern Greek,
157
00:16:19,238 --> 00:16:22,850
and I have spent
a great deal of time with Greeks
158
00:16:23,373 --> 00:16:26,115
of all kinds, from noblemen,
down to onion sellers.
159
00:16:26,724 --> 00:16:27,768
Chiefly the latter.
160
00:16:30,336 --> 00:16:34,210
You know, I'm superstitious
about Greek onion sellers.
161
00:16:35,472 --> 00:16:36,386
Aren't you?
162
00:16:38,214 --> 00:16:39,476
Well, I...
163
00:16:40,042 --> 00:16:41,608
I mean, having not met one,
it would be presumptuous.
164
00:16:41,782 --> 00:16:44,350
Ah, but look,
you show bewilderment.
165
00:16:44,611 --> 00:16:45,830
Never show bewilderment,
Beckett,
166
00:16:46,048 --> 00:16:47,440
it surrenders control.
167
00:16:47,701 --> 00:16:51,183
My point is, of course,
that I do not speak Irish.
168
00:16:51,357 --> 00:16:53,533
- Right.
- Joyce: And neither do you.
169
00:16:53,707 --> 00:16:55,840
[breathes deeply] No.
170
00:16:58,060 --> 00:17:00,888
I hope you do not think
that you can learn from me...
171
00:17:02,238 --> 00:17:03,761

173
00:17:07,199 --> 00:17:09,810
No, that... I thought...

I wanted to make
your acquaintance,

176
00:17:16,165 --> 00:17:17,340
Some reading, or some research.
177
00:17:17,514 --> 00:17:19,342
I know
from my professors at Trinity
178
00:17:19,516 --> 00:17:20,821
that you've offered
similar postings
179
00:17:20,995 --> 00:17:22,214
to students in the past.
180
00:17:22,736 --> 00:17:23,955
You know, Mr. Beckett,
181
00:17:24,129 --> 00:17:27,306
I am not the James Joyce
of Ulysses.
182
00:17:28,525 --> 00:17:31,093
I am the James Joyce
of failed endeavor,
183

and encroaching decay.
184
00:17:36,489 --> 00:17:38,709
My head is full of pebbles,
and rubbish,
185
00:17:38,883 --> 00:17:42,321
and bits of glass,
and broken matches.
186
00:17:44,845 --> 00:17:47,979
Why would you wish to set out
on such a dispiriting journey?
187
00:17:50,677 --> 00:17:52,418
Mr. Joyce,
I'd rather watch you fail
188
00:17:52,592 --> 00:17:53,898
than anyone else succeed.
189
00:18:02,863 --> 00:18:04,126
[Joyce sighs]
190
00:18:06,998 --> 00:18:08,086
Do not come early.
191
00:18:09,043 --> 00:18:10,958
I am easily startled
in the mornings.
192
00:18:12,090 --> 00:18:14,658
[whimsical piano music playing]
193
00:18:15,354 --> 00:18:17,965

196
00:18:37,594 --> 00:18:39,813
[music concludes]
197
00:18:43,643 --> 00:18:44,688
Don't do it.
198
00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:47,430
What?
199
00:18:47,821 --> 00:18:48,822
Write.
200
00:18:51,042 --> 00:18:52,086
Only something
I was considering.
201
00:18:52,522 --> 00:18:53,871
Ah, good! Well...
202
00:18:55,002 --> 00:18:58,092
stay there... in consideration.
203
00:18:59,877 --> 00:19:00,965
It's safe there.
204
00:19:06,013 --> 00:19:09,234
[exhales] A book should not be
planned out beforehand,
205
00:19:10,192 --> 00:19:11,236
Mr. Beckett.
206
00:19:12,803 --> 00:19:15,501
As one writes,
the book will form itself,
207
00:19:15,675 --> 00:19:18,243
subject to, and shaped by,
208
00:19:18,417 --> 00:19:20,376
the constant
emotional promptings
209
00:19:20,550 --> 00:19:21,638
of one's personality.
210
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:23,944
[Lucia giggles]
211
00:19:25,294 --> 00:19:29,036
In Ulysses,
I wanted only to give the color
212
00:19:29,211 --> 00:19:34,128
and tone of Dublin,
its hallucinatory vapors, its...
213
00:19:34,346 --> 00:19:35,391
[Nora and Lucia chattering]
214
00:19:35,565 --> 00:19:37,088
...tattered confusion.
215
00:19:37,915 --> 00:19:40,961
The atmosphere of its bars,
its social immobility.
216
00:19:41,962 --> 00:19:43,790
These could only be conveyed
by the texture of...
217
00:19:43,964 --> 00:19:44,922
Dumplings.
218
00:19:48,882 --> 00:19:50,884
For supper,
we shall be having dumplings.
219
00:19:52,146 --> 00:19:53,365
He is to stay?
220
00:19:53,844 --> 00:19:55,324
Lucia would like him to stay.
221
00:19:56,455 --> 00:19:57,413
Is that wise?
222
00:19:58,936 --> 00:20:01,025
Lucia would like him to stay.
223
00:20:04,898 --> 00:20:06,073
Then he shall stay.
224
00:20:10,077 --> 00:20:11,078
Thank you, sir.
225
00:20:12,166 --> 00:20:13,211
It's very kind.
226
00:20:13,951 --> 00:20:16,170
Joyce: Whether indeed
this is a kindness, Mr. Beckett,
227
00:20:16,345 --> 00:20:17,520
I suggest you...
228
00:20:18,825 --> 00:20:20,958
save your conclusion
for another day.
229
00:20:22,786 --> 00:20:24,570
Younger Samuel: I was interested
in something you said
230
00:20:24,744 --> 00:20:26,006
in The Paris Review, Mr. Joyce,
231
00:20:26,180 --> 00:20:28,531
that while life
is fundamentally tragic,
232
00:20:28,705 --> 00:20:30,446
that it also must be seen
as humorous.
233
00:20:30,620 --> 00:20:32,926
Ah, yes. Well, what I was
clumsily aiming for there...
234
00:20:33,100 --> 00:20:35,886
Do you know,
the first night I met Jim,
235
00:20:36,408 --> 00:20:38,889
I mistook him
for a Swedish sailor,
236
00:20:39,629 --> 00:20:41,761
what with his cap
and his plimsolls.
237
00:20:44,677 --> 00:20:46,549
I'm sorry, Mr. Joyce,
The Paris Review...
238
00:20:46,723 --> 00:20:48,420
Joyce: Yeah, the object
of any work of art
239
00:20:48,638 --> 00:20:50,248
is the transference
of emotion...
240
00:20:50,466 --> 00:20:52,816
Nora: But when he spoke,
sure I knew him at once
241
00:20:53,251 --> 00:20:55,209
to be just another
Dublin jackeen
242
00:20:55,427 --> 00:20:56,907
chatting up a country girl.
243
00:20:57,124 --> 00:20:59,518
- Did you arrive in Paris alone?
- Uh, I did.
244
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,433
- Lucia: Oh.
- Younger Samuel: Yeah.
245
00:21:02,434 --> 00:21:04,523
I'm sorry, Mr. Joyce,
the, uh, the role of humor...
246
00:21:04,697 --> 00:21:05,959
Joyce: There must be humor.
247
00:21:06,569 --> 00:21:08,875
For the disparity of what a man
wants to be and what he is,
248
00:21:09,049 --> 00:21:12,488
- is... no doubt laughable.
- [Lucia giggling]
249
00:21:12,792 --> 00:21:14,490
Do you know,
I wish he'd been a musician.
250
00:21:15,534 --> 00:21:16,753
I always said,
251
00:21:17,101 --> 00:21:18,798
Jim's a better singer
than he is a writer.
252
00:21:18,972 --> 00:21:20,626
So sorry, would you let him
finish his thought, please?
253
00:21:20,844 --> 00:21:22,106
Would you take me dancing?
254
00:21:22,802 --> 00:21:24,195
[hesitates] Me?
255
00:21:24,543 --> 00:21:25,457
Tonight?
256
00:21:25,675 --> 00:21:27,329
Now, there's an idea.
257
00:21:27,633 --> 00:21:29,940
- I... I don't think that I...
- Oh, it would be a blessing.
258
00:21:31,898 --> 00:21:32,856
Right.
259
00:21:33,552 --> 00:21:34,423
Not for you.
260
00:21:35,032 --> 00:21:37,556
[Lucia humming]
261
00:21:37,730 --> 00:21:40,211
Then you can return tomorrow,
to work.
262
00:21:40,516 --> 00:21:42,431
Oh, but we are to dance.
263
00:21:43,475 --> 00:21:46,522
And here's me,
without a stitch to wear.
264
00:21:46,739 --> 00:21:47,697
[chuckles]
265
00:21:47,914 --> 00:21:51,004

[indistinct chatter continues]

[laughs]
269

[music concludes]
270

[accordion music playing]
271
00:23:17,917 --> 00:23:21,225
[giggles] So, you're a writer?
272
00:23:22,313 --> 00:23:23,445
How did you know?
273
00:23:24,141 --> 00:23:27,884
Because you're in Paris,
and because you can't dance.
274
00:23:28,145 --> 00:23:30,364
- [chuckles softly]
- And you?
275
00:23:31,278 --> 00:23:33,585
- And me?
- Younger Samuel: Yes, Lucia,
276
00:23:33,803 --> 00:23:36,370
what will you do
in this paltry life of ours?
277
00:23:37,415 --> 00:23:40,113
I will dance! [chuckles]
278
00:23:40,940 --> 00:23:43,160
- Why not?
- I'll look after you.
279
00:23:44,074 --> 00:23:45,336
Excuse me?
280
00:23:45,945 --> 00:23:49,122
Well, can you imagine my father
without my mother? [laughs]
281
00:23:49,993 --> 00:23:50,994
I often do.
282
00:23:51,995 --> 00:23:55,302
We must tell them, Beckett,
of our plans.
283
00:23:57,740 --> 00:23:59,655
- [chuckles softly]
- [sighs]
284
00:23:59,829 --> 00:24:01,657
Lucia: The world must know!
285
00:24:08,794 --> 00:24:10,100
[giggles]
286
00:24:16,889 --> 00:24:18,325
Younger Samuel: Lucia is...
287
00:24:18,587 --> 00:24:19,805
[music concludes]
288
00:24:20,110 --> 00:24:22,199
Well, one might say,
289
00:24:22,373 --> 00:24:25,028
and I mean this
with no pejorative intention,
290
00:24:25,245 --> 00:24:30,294
that she possesses...
at least to some degree,
291
00:24:31,295 --> 00:24:32,470
a certain giddiness.
292
00:24:33,253 --> 00:24:35,255
Oh, she's mad, Beckett.
293
00:24:36,430 --> 00:24:37,519
Gloriously so.
294
00:24:39,695 --> 00:24:40,609
Right.
295
00:24:42,654 --> 00:24:44,177
- [Joyce sighs]
- I'm sorry,
296
00:24:44,351 --> 00:24:46,919
I'm not sure that I understand
your usage of that term.
297
00:24:47,398 --> 00:24:49,574
My use of it is, uh,
medical, Beckett.
298
00:24:49,748 --> 00:24:51,489
She is medically mad.
299
00:24:52,664 --> 00:24:54,536
- Younger Samuel: I see.
- The worst kind.
300
00:24:55,624 --> 00:24:56,668
Undoubtedly.
301
00:24:57,451 --> 00:24:59,192
Joyce: Her mother wants
to send her off to live
302
00:24:59,366 --> 00:25:01,891
in some institution or other,
but I... well, I don't know.
303
00:25:02,892 --> 00:25:03,936
Because you see,
304
00:25:04,676 --> 00:25:07,505
if she's here, then we can
always send her there.
305
00:25:07,679 --> 00:25:09,289
But if she's there...
306
00:25:10,421 --> 00:25:12,641
[sighs] ...then there's nowhere
else to send her.
307
00:25:13,555 --> 00:25:14,730
Do you see?
308
00:25:15,208 --> 00:25:16,340
Only too clearly.
309
00:25:17,167 --> 00:25:19,648
Good, then we're squared away.
310
00:25:22,041 --> 00:25:24,478
But perhaps... and... and...
I mean, with hindsight,
311
00:25:24,653 --> 00:25:26,437
perhaps you could
have told me of this condition,
312
00:25:26,611 --> 00:25:27,960
before I'd agreed to escort her.
313
00:25:28,134 --> 00:25:29,527
Oh, I couldn't do that, Beckett.
314
00:25:29,701 --> 00:25:31,050
For then you wouldn't
have agreed. Do you see?
315
00:25:31,660 --> 00:25:34,314
You would have run
for the hills, and rightly so.
316
00:25:37,361 --> 00:25:40,103
Dumplings. For supper,
we shall be having dumplings.
317
00:25:40,277 --> 00:25:43,149
I'm afraid, this evening
I must reluctantly decline
318
00:25:43,367 --> 00:25:44,803
your offer of kindness.
319
00:25:45,108 --> 00:25:46,675
Oh, no, you can't!
320
00:25:47,023 --> 00:25:50,069
Lucia's expecting you to stay,
and then take her dancing.
321
00:25:50,809 --> 00:25:53,246
And Lucia's not a spirit
to unsettle,
322
00:25:53,769 --> 00:25:56,249
as I...
I suspect you have detected.
323
00:25:57,294 --> 00:26:00,384
And we need that time,
young Mr. Beckett.
324
00:26:00,558 --> 00:26:02,516
We need
that blessed tranquility,
325
00:26:02,691 --> 00:26:03,779
we need it.
326
00:26:04,562 --> 00:26:06,303
So, you can have
your hot supper,
327
00:26:06,477 --> 00:26:11,874
and then take Lucia dancing,
or you can leave and not return.
328
00:26:13,571 --> 00:26:14,616
So, what is it now?
329
00:26:16,052 --> 00:26:17,183
Is it banishment...
330
00:26:18,402 --> 00:26:19,446
or is it dumplings?
331
00:26:23,581 --> 00:26:24,626
It is dumplings.
332
00:26:27,150 --> 00:26:28,586
It is dumplings.
333
00:26:38,857 --> 00:26:40,859
You know, Beckett, there's a...
334
00:26:43,645 --> 00:26:46,909
a curious kind of honor code...
335
00:26:47,953 --> 00:26:52,784
among men, which obliges them
to assist one another
336
00:26:53,089 --> 00:26:56,135
and huddle together
for protection.
337
00:26:56,658 --> 00:26:58,834
The result, quite often,
is that they...
338
00:27:00,444 --> 00:27:04,840
wake up the next morning
sitting in the same ditch.
339
00:27:13,326 --> 00:27:14,676

359

found myself
recently considering,
360
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,280
in some depth,

00:30:08,719 --> 00:30:10,286
Would you like to hear
my findings?
363
00:30:10,547 --> 00:30:11,853
[Lucia laughing in distance]
364
00:30:12,027 --> 00:30:13,115
I would, but I fear
you won't be given
365
00:30:13,289 --> 00:30:14,464
the time to tell me.
366
00:30:15,682 --> 00:30:17,032
The important thing...
367
00:30:18,511 --> 00:30:21,558
is not what we write,
but how we write.
368
00:30:23,038 --> 00:30:25,257
We must write dangerously,
Beckett.
369
00:30:26,955 --> 00:30:29,087
What is imaginative
is the contrary
370
00:30:29,261 --> 00:30:31,394
to all that
is concise and clear.
371
00:30:32,308 --> 00:30:34,005
Most people's lives
are made up of jugs,
372
00:30:34,179 --> 00:30:36,181
and pots, and plates,
backstreets,
373
00:30:36,355 --> 00:30:39,489
and blousy living rooms,
inhabited by blousy women...
374
00:30:40,969 --> 00:30:43,797
and a thousand
daily sordid incidents
375
00:30:43,972 --> 00:30:45,843
that seep into our minds,
376
00:30:46,017 --> 00:30:48,498
no matter how we strive
to keep them out.
377
00:30:51,109 --> 00:30:53,024
These are the furniture
of our lives.
378
00:30:55,113 --> 00:30:57,289
The greatest secret
of them all, Beckett...
379
00:30:57,507 --> 00:30:58,769
[footsteps approaching]
380
00:30:59,030 --> 00:31:00,902
...the biggest key
to the biggest door...
381
00:31:01,076 --> 00:31:02,251
Lucia: It's time.
382
00:31:03,382 --> 00:31:06,124
- Nora: Yes, it is. It is time.
- For fuck's sake.
383
00:31:06,298 --> 00:31:09,693
- What? What is it?
- Father, go easy on him.
384
00:31:09,867 --> 00:31:11,608
Don't drag him over the coals.
[chuckles]
385
00:31:11,782 --> 00:31:14,567
He will not. He will support
the endeavor, as I do.
386
00:31:14,741 --> 00:31:17,396
This is the most wonderful
moment of my life! [chuckles]
387
00:31:17,570 --> 00:31:18,658
What is?
388
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,138
Our engagement.
389
00:31:23,011 --> 00:31:24,360
[exhales]
390
00:31:26,057 --> 00:31:27,189
This is the end.
391
00:31:28,451 --> 00:31:29,582
Oh, Christ.
392
00:31:30,496 --> 00:31:32,237
I'm sorry,
but this is the end of it.
393
00:31:33,195 --> 00:31:34,326
Would it be so bad?
394
00:31:34,631 --> 00:31:35,762
[loudly] So bad?
395
00:31:36,241 --> 00:31:38,461
Mother,
this is cause for jubilation!
396
00:31:38,678 --> 00:31:41,072
No, Lucia,
this is cause for revelation.
397
00:31:42,813 --> 00:31:45,903
Shall we move to dessert?
I've risked a trifle.
398
00:31:46,512 --> 00:31:48,079
Younger Samuel:
I've offered you companionship
399
00:31:48,253 --> 00:31:51,082
these past few months
as a kindness and as a favor...
400
00:31:52,388 --> 00:31:54,303
but it's not
what you think it is, Lucia.
401
00:31:54,564 --> 00:31:56,740
And that's troubled me greatly,
because I always assumed
402
00:31:56,914 --> 00:31:58,263
that it would lead
to this outcome.
403
00:31:58,481 --> 00:32:01,266
And... now, here we are.
404
00:32:03,703 --> 00:32:07,403
I am sorry, Lucia...
for my part.
405
00:32:14,192 --> 00:32:15,150
Was this you, Mother?
406
00:32:17,935 --> 00:32:21,983
We simply encouraged the...
Well, I mean, there is a...
407
00:32:22,592 --> 00:32:23,854
there is a wonderful bond.
408
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,813
I mean, you are bonded,
are you not?
409
00:32:30,165 --> 00:32:31,296
There is a bond.
410
00:32:31,731 --> 00:32:33,472
There's more
of an unhappy welding.
411
00:32:44,353 --> 00:32:48,618
[screams]
412
00:32:49,575 --> 00:32:55,364
[sobs]
413
00:33:00,804 --> 00:33:04,112
[sobbing echoes]
414
00:33:10,901 --> 00:33:12,946
They took her away
soon after that.
415
00:33:14,426 --> 00:33:15,862
Inner Sam:
How could they not?
416
00:33:17,734 --> 00:33:20,302
I could help her
with the money...
417
00:33:21,607 --> 00:33:23,653
pay for her... care.
418
00:33:25,133 --> 00:33:27,874
She's been in the same asylum
for 32 years.
419
00:33:28,658 --> 00:33:30,790
You must have a great impression
of yourself
420
00:33:31,008 --> 00:33:35,143
that you can take the blame
for 32 years and counting.
421
00:33:37,232 --> 00:33:40,626
She hung over us, Joyce and I.
422
00:33:41,453 --> 00:33:44,587
Every conversation,
from that day on, there she was.
423
00:33:44,761 --> 00:33:46,458
Dancing behind the words.
424
00:33:46,850 --> 00:33:49,809
Don't you think that applies
to all his conversations,
425
00:33:50,027 --> 00:33:52,247
all his words?
She was his daughter.
426
00:33:52,464 --> 00:33:55,467
[sighs] He never forgave me.
427
00:33:55,815 --> 00:33:58,383
Oh, he told you he forgave you.
428
00:33:59,950 --> 00:34:02,735
No, he had his revenge.
429
00:34:04,563 --> 00:34:05,695
We'll come to that.
430
00:34:06,957 --> 00:34:09,655
So who deserves
this prize money?
431
00:34:12,310 --> 00:34:14,269
[sighs]
Do we have to go on with this?
432
00:34:14,747 --> 00:34:16,532
You were the one who started it.
433
00:34:17,141 --> 00:34:18,969
I'm ill with regret.
434
00:34:20,318 --> 00:34:21,580
You mean Suzanne?
435
00:34:21,972 --> 00:34:23,147
No, no, not yet.
436
00:34:25,758 --> 00:34:26,759
Alfred?
437
00:34:31,590 --> 00:34:32,548
Alfy.
438
00:34:38,075 --> 00:34:39,120
Alfy.
439
00:34:39,424 --> 00:34:42,210
Do not use Alfy
to sneak in Suzanne.
440
00:34:43,254 --> 00:34:45,300
You have my word, I promise.
441
00:34:46,823 --> 00:34:49,826
[intriguing music playing]
442
00:34:52,089 --> 00:34:55,397
[typewriter clacking]
443
00:35:28,647 --> 00:35:30,345
[music concludes]
444
00:35:33,870 --> 00:35:34,871
Good.
445
00:35:37,308 --> 00:35:38,266
Keep going.
446
00:35:53,281 --> 00:35:54,934
He'll never forgive me, Alfy.
447
00:35:58,634 --> 00:36:00,897
Do you think he would let us
translate his work
448
00:36:01,071 --> 00:36:02,594
if you weren't already forgiven?
449
00:36:04,988 --> 00:36:07,556
I think he'd find
such simplicity insulting.
450
00:36:07,947 --> 00:36:10,254
[telephone ringing in distance]
451
00:36:13,170 --> 00:36:14,519

[attendees murmuring]
453
00:36:18,523 --> 00:36:20,699
Thank you, thank you.
454
00:36:21,613 --> 00:36:24,616
I speak not just
for the publishing house,
455
00:36:24,834 --> 00:36:28,664
but for Mr. Joyce himself,
when I say that this work
456
00:36:28,968 --> 00:36:31,536
is a masterpiece
of modern translation.
457
00:36:32,102 --> 00:36:34,191
First, we must thank
two students,
458
00:36:34,365 --> 00:36:36,498
Samuel Beckett and Alfred Péron,
459
00:36:36,672 --> 00:36:39,414
for a valiant first attempt.
[chuckles softly]
460
00:36:39,631 --> 00:36:41,590
- Alfred: A what?
- Here we go.
461
00:36:41,764 --> 00:36:43,592
Sylvia: Which was then
so expertly corrected
462
00:36:43,766 --> 00:36:45,071
by our translators,
463
00:36:45,246 --> 00:36:47,335
Paul Léon, Ivan Gul, and...
464
00:36:47,509 --> 00:36:49,598
- Who the fuck are they?
- ...of course,
Mr. Joyce himself.
465
00:36:49,772 --> 00:36:51,164
- Revenge.
- [Sylvia chuckles]
466
00:36:51,382 --> 00:36:52,557
Joyce: Welcome, Paul.
467
00:36:58,650 --> 00:37:00,522
We were working with gold.
468
00:37:01,784 --> 00:37:05,266
All we had to do was polish it.
But let us be clear...
469
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,137
- [whispers] Why?
- ...this was not work.
470
00:37:07,311 --> 00:37:08,486
Because she's in an asylum now.
471
00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:09,879
Paul:
This was the greatest fortune...
472
00:37:10,053 --> 00:37:11,315
And you must be punished
for that?
473
00:37:11,533 --> 00:37:13,143
...we could have
ever been granted.
474
00:37:13,709 --> 00:37:15,014
And I must be punished for that?
475
00:37:15,188 --> 00:37:16,668
Paul: To learn at the feet
of a master.
476
00:37:16,842 --> 00:37:20,324
I'm sorry, Alfy,
you're collateral damage.
477
00:37:20,498 --> 00:37:24,981
...literary jewels, and to turn
them to catch the light.
478
00:37:25,721 --> 00:37:26,983
What shall we do?
479
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:28,898
- [crowd applauding]
- We shall drink.
480
00:37:29,246 --> 00:37:30,334
Yes.
481
00:37:30,508 --> 00:37:31,683
- For a long time.
- Forever.
482
00:37:33,119 --> 00:37:34,730
We should certainly
give it a go.
483
00:37:41,432 --> 00:37:43,869
[accordion playing in distance]

[Man groans, mumbles]
485
00:37:49,048 --> 00:37:51,921
Well, Alfy, we gave it a go.
486
00:37:53,314 --> 00:37:56,142
Let me leave, while dignity
still remains a possibility.
487
00:37:56,578 --> 00:37:57,448
Nah.
488
00:37:57,666 --> 00:37:59,624
[footsteps approaching]
489
00:38:01,322 --> 00:38:02,410
Good evening, Sam.
490
00:38:05,238 --> 00:38:06,849
Alfred: Lucky for Stalin,
we're drunk.
491
00:38:07,066 --> 00:38:09,852
[scoffs]
You've come to take him away...
492
00:38:11,506 --> 00:38:14,247
to drag my friend
from a life of possibility
493
00:38:14,596 --> 00:38:16,946
to the eternal drudgery
of commitment.
494
00:38:18,948 --> 00:38:20,993
No, Sam, we came to join you.
495
00:38:22,604 --> 00:38:24,301
It is Suzanne from the tennis.
496
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:28,958
Hello, Sam.
497
00:38:30,655 --> 00:38:34,659
You've come to capture me,
to add me to your tribe.
498
00:38:35,399 --> 00:38:37,445
What makes you think
that I want to capture you?
499
00:38:37,923 --> 00:38:40,404
[indistinct quiet chatter]
500
00:38:44,539 --> 00:38:46,236
Then let us both avoid the trap.
501
00:38:54,810 --> 00:38:58,814
- [lively chatter]
- [doorbell chiming]
502
00:39:12,218 --> 00:39:17,398
Hey. [blows kiss]
Hey, mon cheri.[speaks French]
503
00:39:18,224 --> 00:39:19,269
Hey.
504
00:39:19,530 --> 00:39:22,577
Hey, Irish, you want a girl?
505
00:39:23,012 --> 00:39:24,230
Hey.
506
00:39:24,796 --> 00:39:27,277
Prudent, your stamina
for this exchange is remarkable,
507
00:39:27,451 --> 00:39:28,713
but I would never want...

Why? [gasps]

518
00:40:21,766 --> 00:40:22,854
[in English] Suzanne.
519
00:40:23,115 --> 00:40:24,987
[music fades]
520
00:40:27,076 --> 00:40:28,077
Yes.
521
00:40:28,686 --> 00:40:29,948
Younger Suzanne:
From the tennis.
522
00:40:32,081 --> 00:40:33,343
Yes.
523
00:40:35,258 --> 00:40:36,868
So, they gave you
a private room.
524
00:40:37,608 --> 00:40:38,653
Younger Samuel: Joyce.
525
00:40:39,784 --> 00:40:42,265
You know, you shouldn't let
a man be your keeper.
526
00:40:42,918 --> 00:40:44,963
Younger Samuel:
Thank you for your advice.
527
00:40:46,008 --> 00:40:47,488
No, this is not advice.
528
00:40:48,793 --> 00:40:50,186
This is instruction.
529
00:40:51,622 --> 00:40:55,060
And... if this is to happen,
530
00:40:55,757 --> 00:40:57,454
I suggest that you
grow accustomed
531
00:40:57,628 --> 00:40:59,195
to taking my instruction.
532
00:40:59,935 --> 00:41:01,197
If what is to happen?
533
00:41:01,632 --> 00:41:02,894
[scoffs]
534
00:41:06,158 --> 00:41:07,290
Such coyness.
535
00:41:09,858 --> 00:41:11,468
You do not like attraction.
536
00:41:13,122 --> 00:41:14,253
And neither do I.
537
00:41:14,776 --> 00:41:15,907
[groans]
538
00:41:16,299 --> 00:41:18,649
Younger Suzanne:
So, I think that this side of it
539
00:41:19,084 --> 00:41:20,346
will be agreeable.
540
00:41:21,522 --> 00:41:24,829
- But more importantly, I...

[footsteps departing]
546
00:41:35,927 --> 00:41:37,494
Younger Suzanne: [in English]
I brought you this.
547
00:41:39,104 --> 00:41:40,323
It's Calvados.
548
00:41:43,326 --> 00:41:45,937
Samuel,
you should write about this...
549
00:41:47,635 --> 00:41:49,375
because it feels
like an experience
550
00:41:50,072 --> 00:41:51,377
a writer should explore.
551
00:41:52,161 --> 00:41:54,990
Especially one like you,
with your great love of death.
552
00:41:55,468 --> 00:41:56,774
[chuckles softly]
553
00:41:58,646 --> 00:41:59,908
I did read your book.
554
00:42:00,648 --> 00:42:02,737
Well,
you were in exclusive company.
555
00:42:03,172 --> 00:42:05,043
No, I must speak
to your publisher
556
00:42:05,217 --> 00:42:07,219
about why I had to work
so hard to find it.
557
00:42:07,437 --> 00:42:08,481

[groans]
560

[in English]
What's more important?
561
00:42:30,678 --> 00:42:33,376
You said there is something
more important than attraction.
562
00:42:34,290 --> 00:42:35,291
What is it?
563
00:42:39,861 --> 00:42:40,949
Well...
564
00:42:43,081 --> 00:42:44,648
you have a great talent...
565
00:42:46,345 --> 00:42:48,391
and I don't think
that you should waste it.
566
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:51,524
In fact...
567
00:42:53,396 --> 00:42:55,659
I think that you would benefit
from a companion
568
00:42:55,833 --> 00:42:57,748
who would stop you
from doing so.
569
00:42:59,924 --> 00:43:02,579
And I think I would benefit
from being that companion.
570
00:43:08,759 --> 00:43:09,760
Hmm.
571
00:43:18,639 --> 00:43:19,596
Well...
572
00:43:26,298 --> 00:43:27,212
Um...
573
00:43:28,170 --> 00:43:30,694
I will return tomorrow,
if you'd like me to?
574
00:43:37,483 --> 00:43:39,616
Yes, you will return tomorrow.
575
00:43:43,533 --> 00:43:46,188

- [doorbell chiming]
581
00:44:42,113 --> 00:44:43,593
It is an unlikely match.
582
00:44:45,464 --> 00:44:46,552
It's not a match.
583
00:44:47,031 --> 00:44:48,816
She is so serious. And you?
584
00:44:48,990 --> 00:44:50,426
Well,
you were stabbed by a pimp.
585
00:44:50,731 --> 00:44:52,428
I was a winged bird, Alfy,
586
00:44:53,211 --> 00:44:55,474
and she came to me
with a box of straw.
587
00:44:57,694 --> 00:44:59,914
Well, I'm sure you can
fit in one more.
588
00:45:00,741 --> 00:45:01,785
Tone.
589
00:45:02,612 --> 00:45:04,440
You and your archaic monogamy.
590
00:45:04,701 --> 00:45:07,008
It brings rewards
beyond the carnal, Samuel.
591
00:45:07,922 --> 00:45:09,662
It is a higher state of being.
592
00:45:10,402 --> 00:45:12,361
Well, maybe someday
I'll clamber up from the dirt
593
00:45:12,535 --> 00:45:14,450
and join on you
in that higher state.
594
00:45:16,365 --> 00:45:18,149
Perhaps with Suzanne
from the tennis.
595
00:45:18,802 --> 00:45:19,760
No.
596
00:45:21,936 --> 00:45:23,633
The hand will not be overbid.

Younger Samuel: Are you safe?
605
00:46:04,543 --> 00:46:05,980
Safer than most Jews.
606
00:46:12,595 --> 00:46:13,552
And you?
607
00:46:16,991 --> 00:46:18,731
As long as Ireland
stays neutral.
608
00:46:20,081 --> 00:46:23,519
And you, Sam?
Will you be staying neutral?
609
00:46:25,260 --> 00:46:26,217
You've joined.
610
00:46:29,394 --> 00:46:30,221
I have joined.
611
00:46:31,832 --> 00:46:34,922
Well... you're a soldier now.
612
00:46:39,230 --> 00:46:41,145
And they do not
just need soldiers.
613
00:46:41,972 --> 00:46:42,886
Lucky for you.
614
00:46:43,278 --> 00:46:44,366
Lucky for us.
615
00:46:49,501 --> 00:46:50,502

Sam.
618
00:47:01,122 --> 00:47:02,863
You should speak
to Suzanne first.
619
00:47:05,561 --> 00:47:06,518
I don't need to.
620
00:47:09,217 --> 00:47:10,261
We are one...
621
00:47:11,132 --> 00:47:12,263

622
00:47:14,787 --> 00:47:15,788

We write.

God knows how.
643
00:49:09,032 --> 00:49:10,425
And then we work through them.

We correlate, cross-reference.
645

We need two sources,
or it doesn't count.
646

and we write our story.

00:56:55,498 --> 00:56:57,195
And being trapped here
with you...
724
00:56:58,849 --> 00:57:01,243
it's a happiness
I have never known before,
725
00:57:02,157 --> 00:57:03,985
and I will likely
never know again.
726
00:57:10,252 --> 00:57:11,906
You know, I think you could
probably leave the pot
727
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:13,298
for a little while.
728
00:57:13,908 --> 00:57:15,431
- Just for a little while.
- [Younger Samuel chuckles]
729
00:57:15,736 --> 00:57:17,346
You should take that
as a compliment.
730
00:57:17,564 --> 00:57:18,608
[chuckles softly]
731
00:57:20,436 --> 00:57:23,439
How far we have to fall for you
to risk a compliment.
732
00:57:24,875 --> 00:57:26,486
Well, let us fall further still.

Younger Suzanne: Sam.
739
00:57:55,819 --> 00:57:57,691
Are you thinking of Alfy again?
740
00:57:59,867 --> 00:58:01,346
Do you think he's still alive?
741
00:58:06,743 --> 00:58:08,136
He stays alive in you.

[in English] Well, go on then...

00:58:21,802 --> 00:58:23,020
my brave soldier.
746
00:58:24,979 --> 00:58:26,546
You know they've given me
a gun now?
747
00:58:37,252 --> 00:58:38,253
I love you.
748
00:58:41,952 --> 00:58:42,910
I love you.

[in English] Oh, what a hero.

[chuckles softly]
770
01:01:23,592 --> 01:01:26,987
Like a Boy Scout, with a toy gun
in the wet grass,
771
01:01:27,814 --> 01:01:29,163
waiting for Nazis,
772
01:01:29,337 --> 01:01:31,513
who didn't have the decency
to show up.
773
01:01:31,861 --> 01:01:34,690
[scoffs] They gave you
the Croix de Guerre.
774
01:01:34,864 --> 01:01:37,040
Oh, they give you that
for staying alive.
775
01:01:38,999 --> 01:01:42,045
Is that your guilt,
that you stayed alive?
776
01:01:42,263 --> 01:01:43,264
It was me.
777
01:01:45,396 --> 01:01:49,923
I was the one who filled
Alfy's head full of... nonsense,
778
01:01:50,097 --> 01:01:52,969
of dreams,
and... and... and rainbows,
779
01:01:53,578 --> 01:01:55,363
and... and Baudelaire.
780
01:01:55,711 --> 01:01:58,018
But you were the one
staring at the stars.
781
01:01:58,409 --> 01:02:00,847
Because I knew he'd be staring
at the same ones.
782
01:02:01,195 --> 01:02:03,371
Even in that horrible place,
783
01:02:03,675 --> 01:02:05,895
they couldn't turn off
the stars.
784
01:02:06,809 --> 01:02:08,202
And what did I do?
785
01:02:08,593 --> 01:02:11,988
I went home to a warm bed,
a warm woman, while he...
786
01:02:12,467 --> 01:02:13,511
He...
787
01:02:17,777 --> 01:02:18,908
[sobs]
788
01:02:20,301 --> 01:02:21,215
Hmm.
789
01:02:22,607 --> 01:02:25,219
You know that, in the camp...
790
01:02:26,220 --> 01:02:29,092
they said that he sang
to the others.
791
01:02:29,397 --> 01:02:32,356
Oh, that's just... fairy tales
792
01:02:32,530 --> 01:02:34,358
that we tell each other
about death.
793
01:02:34,532 --> 01:02:35,925
Inner Sam: But you used that...
794
01:02:36,970 --> 01:02:38,536
in Waiting for Godot.
795
01:02:38,798 --> 01:02:42,845
You used your worst fears
about Alfy in your own work.
796
01:02:43,237 --> 01:02:47,632
I... I... I thought
it might resolve something in...
797
01:02:48,111 --> 01:02:49,373
[scoffs] How could it?
798
01:02:51,767 --> 01:02:52,986
[sighs]
799
01:02:56,206 --> 01:02:58,818
You know, there are some men
800
01:02:59,296 --> 01:03:01,385
who need to believe
in a better world,
801
01:03:01,559 --> 01:03:04,258
just like you need to believe
in a world that's worse.
802
01:03:05,302 --> 01:03:07,391
Who betrayed us to the Germans?
803
01:03:08,479 --> 01:03:12,135
Who sent Alfy
to that horrible place?
804
01:03:13,136 --> 01:03:14,268
It was the priest.
805
01:03:14,746 --> 01:03:16,096
Of course, it was.
806
01:03:16,574 --> 01:03:17,880
[sighs] Oh...
807
01:03:18,098 --> 01:03:21,797
[chuckles] And to think
that I mislaid my faith.
808
01:03:23,843 --> 01:03:25,888
At least Alfy would have
enjoyed that.
809
01:03:26,758 --> 01:03:28,021
Inner Sam: Listen to me.
810
01:03:28,543 --> 01:03:31,763
You cannot blame yourself
for the war.
811
01:03:32,242 --> 01:03:34,157
Oh, I can try.
812
01:03:34,331 --> 01:03:35,767
No. Alfy's been dead.
813
01:03:35,942 --> 01:03:37,552
He's been dead
for a very long time,
814
01:03:37,726 --> 01:03:40,294
and he does not need
your money.
815
01:03:42,209 --> 01:03:43,036
Now...
816
01:03:44,515 --> 01:03:45,386
it's time.
817
01:03:46,430 --> 01:03:47,475
Suzanne.
818
01:03:48,389 --> 01:03:49,390
Properly.
819
01:03:52,915 --> 01:03:53,873
Can...
820
01:03:54,786 --> 01:03:56,049
can she come alone?
821
01:03:58,834 --> 01:03:59,704
No.

Sam...
825
01:04:20,682 --> 01:04:21,857
you must go now.
826
01:04:23,772 --> 01:04:25,426
Itinerary and tickets.
827
01:04:25,905 --> 01:04:28,559
Don't sign anything
without speaking to me first.
828
01:04:30,170 --> 01:04:31,911
And don't drink
before the meeting.
829

[exhales]
831
01:04:35,436 --> 01:04:39,005
Do you really think
the BBC will want to do this?
832
01:04:40,354 --> 01:04:41,355
Yes!
833
01:04:42,530 --> 01:04:44,532
They would not want to meet you
if they did not.
834
01:04:45,968 --> 01:04:46,926
Samuel: But...
835
01:04:47,970 --> 01:04:49,798
you like it, don't you?
836
01:04:50,581 --> 01:04:51,756
Yes, I do.

I'm Barbara Bray

Sam.

What a bloody miserable day, hmm?
853
01:06:45,957 --> 01:06:48,264
Well then, Sam, if, um,
854
01:06:48,569 --> 01:06:51,137
if I were to sneak you up
to the BBC bar for a whiskey...
855
01:06:52,225 --> 01:06:55,097
and tell you everything
I love about your work,
856
01:06:55,271 --> 01:06:57,360
and beg you to bestow it
upon us,
857
01:06:58,187 --> 01:07:01,234
would that cause you to turn
all Irish and bashful?
858
01:07:02,061 --> 01:07:03,279
That would depend
on the whiskey.
859
01:07:03,453 --> 01:07:04,672
[Barbara laughs]
860
01:07:07,327 --> 01:07:09,111
Well, this way.

So, they want the rights?

Yes.
873
01:08:19,703 --> 01:08:20,661
Good.
874
01:08:21,966 --> 01:08:23,751
We'll do a separate deal
with the BBC
875
01:08:23,925 --> 01:08:25,100
for the translation.
876
01:08:27,972 --> 01:08:29,844
You must keep writing
in French, Sam.
877
01:08:30,584 --> 01:08:31,802
We get paid twice.
878
01:08:32,847 --> 01:08:33,674
[chuckles] Hmm.

01:08:37,460 --> 01:08:38,331
Please...
880
01:08:39,288 --> 01:08:41,682
tell me you did not offer him
a translation?

Her.
883

She will pay.
884
01:09:09,013 --> 01:09:10,189
For the translation.
885
01:09:11,364 --> 01:09:12,234
Yes.
886
01:09:15,759 --> 01:09:16,760
She...
887
01:09:17,326 --> 01:09:18,936
she'll pay for the translation.

Twice. Nothing happens, twice.

It is maddening!
895
01:10:17,168 --> 01:10:18,257
I hope so.
896
01:10:21,085 --> 01:10:22,391
It is a masterpiece.

God...
898
01:10:26,308 --> 01:10:27,309
I hope not.

What is this place,

900
01:10:36,275 --> 01:10:38,015
[hesitates] It's...
901
01:10:39,626 --> 01:10:44,718
it's the place we all go to,
when life drives us there.
902
01:10:48,591 --> 01:10:50,898
I should probably tell you
that I'm moving.

- Samuel: Hmm.
- Hmm.
904
01:10:54,336 --> 01:10:55,772
And I should certainly tell you
905
01:10:55,946 --> 01:10:57,339
that I'm moving to Paris.

[laughs]
909
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:11,701
No joy without pain.
910
01:11:11,875 --> 01:11:12,876
Indeed not.
911
01:11:14,008 --> 01:11:15,836
[sighs] Quite the conundrum.
912
01:11:16,010 --> 01:11:16,880
Mm-hmm.
913
01:11:18,752 --> 01:11:20,928
So, what do you do?
914
01:11:22,843 --> 01:11:25,889
What does escape look like
at that time,
915
01:11:26,325 --> 01:11:27,500
to a man like you?
916
01:11:33,157 --> 01:11:34,855
[pensive music playing]
917
01:11:35,029 --> 01:11:36,900

[music fades]
921
01:12:37,918 --> 01:12:38,919
Why?
922
01:12:43,663 --> 01:12:44,707
Samuel: Because...
923
01:12:50,365 --> 01:12:52,019
Because I want her
to have the royalties
924
01:12:52,193 --> 01:12:53,673
of my work after I die,
925
01:12:54,238 --> 01:12:55,544
and she deserves it.
926
01:12:56,632 --> 01:12:58,895
She gave me the best days
of her life.
927
01:12:59,287 --> 01:13:01,202
She was the one
who said, "Keep writing,"
928
01:13:01,376 --> 01:13:03,552
when everybody else
said, "Stop."
929
01:13:07,426 --> 01:13:10,646
But all you are doing
is moving pain between us.
930
01:13:11,734 --> 01:13:14,433
No, you are who you are,
931
01:13:15,172 --> 01:13:16,739
and she is who she is.
932
01:13:18,611 --> 01:13:19,525
So...
933
01:13:20,830 --> 01:13:22,136
I'm in Paris...
934
01:13:23,703 --> 01:13:25,139
and nothing has changed?
935
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,796
You're in Paris
and nothing has changed.
936
01:13:46,595 --> 01:13:47,901
So, uh...
937
01:13:49,076 --> 01:13:50,730
they want to produce the play.
938
01:13:51,513 --> 01:13:54,473
In London and Germany and...
939
01:13:55,474 --> 01:13:56,344
No.
940
01:13:58,955 --> 01:14:00,609
I know you don't like the play.
941
01:14:01,262 --> 01:14:02,437
I haven't read it.
942
01:14:03,090 --> 01:14:04,570
- Oh, really?
- No.
943
01:14:04,744 --> 01:14:06,528
If you haven't read it, why...
944
01:14:06,702 --> 01:14:09,531
Germany, London?
It's too much, Sam.
945
01:14:09,879 --> 01:14:12,229
- They said it's really good.
- Suzanne: Yes, it's good.
946
01:14:12,708 --> 01:14:13,666
You know why?
947
01:14:14,449 --> 01:14:17,452
[in French]
948
01:14:26,330 --> 01:14:29,899
[in English] It's too much, Sam.
It's all getting too much!
949
01:14:35,905 --> 01:14:38,342
Barbara: "When he came again,
we had it out."
950
01:14:39,866 --> 01:14:42,172
"He went on
about why he had to tell her,
951
01:14:42,477 --> 01:14:43,783
too risky and so on."
952
01:14:45,262 --> 01:14:47,003
"That meant he'd gone
back to her...
953
01:14:48,657 --> 01:14:50,050
back to that."
954
01:14:52,661 --> 01:14:53,793
This is about us.
955
01:14:54,489 --> 01:14:55,751
How could it not be?
956
01:14:59,146 --> 01:15:01,409
- Has she read it?
- Yes.
957
01:15:02,105 --> 01:15:03,454
And what she did she say?
958
01:15:04,630 --> 01:15:05,892
That she hadn't read it.
959
01:15:06,066 --> 01:15:07,371
[laughs]
960
01:15:10,070 --> 01:15:12,333
She can't hide
from this forever.
961
01:15:13,073 --> 01:15:15,162
[sighs] I wish she could.
962
01:15:18,731 --> 01:15:20,515
I shall review it
for The Observer.
963
01:15:21,385 --> 01:15:24,606
[scoffs] Is there no end
to your sinning?
964
01:15:24,824 --> 01:15:26,042
[laughs]
965
01:15:26,303 --> 01:15:29,568
No, we passed that
a long time ago.
966
01:15:31,047 --> 01:15:33,049
When he came again,
we had it out.
I felt like death.
967
01:15:33,223 --> 01:15:34,703
He went on about
why he had to tell her,
968
01:15:34,877 --> 01:15:36,096
too risky and so on.
969
01:15:36,575 --> 01:15:38,098
That meant he had gone
back to her, back to that.
970
01:15:38,272 --> 01:15:39,578
Pudding face, puffy, spots,
blubber mouth, jowls,
971
01:15:39,752 --> 01:15:41,188
no neck, dugs you could...
972
01:15:42,102 --> 01:15:43,538
Actress 2: He went on and on.
I could hear a mower,
an old hand mower.
973
01:15:43,712 --> 01:15:44,974
I stopped him and said
that whatever I might feel,
974
01:15:45,148 --> 01:15:46,497
I had no silly threats to offer,
975
01:15:46,672 --> 01:15:48,151
but not much stomach
for her leavings either.
976
01:15:48,325 --> 01:15:49,500
He thought that over
for a bit.
977
01:15:49,675 --> 01:15:51,198
Calves like a flunkey.
978
01:15:51,415 --> 01:15:52,591
When I saw her again,
she knew she was looking...
979
01:15:52,765 --> 01:15:53,983
[hiccups] ...wretched.
980
01:15:54,157 --> 01:15:56,856
- Pardon.
- [audience laughing]
981
01:15:59,598 --> 01:16:01,251
[lively chatter]
982
01:16:03,514 --> 01:16:06,953
[applause]
983
01:16:20,401 --> 01:16:21,402
Well?
984
01:16:21,750 --> 01:16:24,579
Were the words
not humiliation enough,
985
01:16:25,058 --> 01:16:27,408
that you had to also put me
in a pot?
986
01:16:27,843 --> 01:16:29,149
Samuel: It's an urn.
987
01:16:30,541 --> 01:16:34,371
That is your defense, Sam,
that it is an urn?
988
01:16:36,199 --> 01:16:38,898
Sorry, but I have to write
what I s--
989
01:16:42,292 --> 01:16:44,599
- This is, uh...
- The other pot.
990
01:16:48,342 --> 01:16:49,430
I, um...
991
01:16:50,997 --> 01:16:52,563
I thought it was very brave.
992
01:16:52,781 --> 01:16:54,217
- [chuckles]
- Thank you.
993
01:16:54,391 --> 01:16:56,611
It could not possibly have
been more cowardly.
994
01:17:02,182 --> 01:17:03,357
Thank you for coming.
995
01:17:05,098 --> 01:17:07,491
Please, be kind in your review.
996
01:17:08,014 --> 01:17:10,320
We have a tax bill to settle
in November.
997
01:17:14,194 --> 01:17:17,197
Well... it was very nice
to meet you.
998
01:17:18,154 --> 01:17:19,329
Don't be absurd.
999
01:17:26,423 --> 01:17:27,424
Barbara: Good evening.
1000
01:17:30,863 --> 01:17:33,343
She... she shouldn't have come.
1001
01:17:34,867 --> 01:17:35,911
Sorry about that.
1002
01:17:37,043 --> 01:17:37,957
It is not her.
1003
01:17:38,914 --> 01:17:39,828
It is them.
1004
01:17:40,089 --> 01:17:41,047
What do you mean?
1005
01:17:42,048 --> 01:17:43,440
There are so many of them.
1006
01:17:43,789 --> 01:17:46,617
Publishers, theater agents, journalists.
1007
01:17:47,706 --> 01:17:50,012
They are talking about you
as if they know you,
1008
01:17:50,534 --> 01:17:51,622
as if they own you.
1009
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:53,233
Isn't that what we wanted,
1010
01:17:53,407 --> 01:17:55,452
after all these years,
after all the struggle?
1011
01:17:56,062 --> 01:17:57,324
All... all the years of you,
1012
01:17:57,498 --> 01:17:58,978
running from publisher
to publisher,
1013
01:17:59,152 --> 01:18:02,111
living like hermits.
The denial, the sacrifice.
1014
01:18:02,285 --> 01:18:03,591
- Isn't the...
- Mr. Beckett?
1015
01:18:04,113 --> 01:18:06,289
It's a masterpiece,
you're a genius.
1016
01:18:06,986 --> 01:18:08,727
- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.
1017
01:18:10,903 --> 01:18:12,513
- So...
- All the years of sacrifice,
1018
01:18:12,687 --> 01:18:13,732
of struggle.
1019
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:16,691
This is what we wanted.
We need them.
1020
01:18:17,518 --> 01:18:20,390
But you have them.
So, you don't need me.
1021
01:18:21,391 --> 01:18:23,480
Oh, so you want us
to stay in obscurity?
1022
01:18:23,654 --> 01:18:25,395
You don't want us
to have success?
1023
01:18:25,569 --> 01:18:29,095
You want us to be scratching
in the mud for potatoes again?
1024
01:18:29,704 --> 01:18:32,489
You and I, Sam,
we're not made for victory.
1025
01:18:32,751 --> 01:18:33,969
We won't survive it.
1026
01:18:34,143 --> 01:18:35,797
[Attendee laughing]
1027
01:18:36,363 --> 01:18:38,626
The fight? We need to fight.
1028
01:18:39,235 --> 01:18:42,369
So, let us retreat
from these people, from victory.
1029
01:18:43,631 --> 01:18:44,675
Please...
1030
01:18:45,415 --> 01:18:46,634
don't let us win.

I didn't deserve it. [sighs]

Suzanne: No, you do not.
1039
01:19:43,647 --> 01:19:44,823
But the work does.
1040
01:19:45,998 --> 01:19:47,303
And for the work...
1041
01:19:48,174 --> 01:19:49,175
I'm happy.
1042
01:19:52,918 --> 01:19:53,875
Goodnight.

Hard to take a man seriously

1045
01:20:32,609 --> 01:20:34,089
You should wear them more often.
1046
01:20:35,308 --> 01:20:38,224
I've decided I'm giving
the money to Trinity College.
1047
01:20:39,486 --> 01:20:40,879
Set up a scholarship,
1048
01:20:41,575 --> 01:20:43,359
so that some boy like me
1049
01:20:43,533 --> 01:20:45,709
doesn't have to rely
on a mother like her.
1050
01:20:48,016 --> 01:20:49,148
Hmm.
1051
01:20:49,365 --> 01:20:51,672
We've taken a long time
to get to that.
1052
01:20:52,238 --> 01:20:54,675
Hmm.
So, now, you can leave me alone.
1053
01:20:55,502 --> 01:20:56,633
I wish I could.

they put at the front
1067

yesterday's bread
to trick the likes of you?

that you could never...
