LEONARD COHEN: 'I know
you've heard that song before.

00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:16,960
'I wrote that.

00:01:16,961 --> 00:01:19,480
'I just wanted
to get your attention.

'I was 33

I used so much Quaalude

'..the one that stays with you

23

even though life goes on,
it lives inside of you.

25
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,959
It's in love that we are made

26
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,960
and in love that we disappear.

27
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,960

SHE CHUCKLES

38
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,959
No. I know most of the foreigners
on the island and, er,

39
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,960
a lot of the Greeks,
and I've not seen you before.

40
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,160
I'd remember.

41
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,959
I'm Leonard.

00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,799

00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,959
You can call me Charm.
Charm? Mm.

45
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,639
Please...

46
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,959
join me.

47
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,800
I'm not disturbing any...?
Not at all.

48
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,799
So, what brings you to Hydra,
Leonard?

49
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:12,959
Oh, escaping from London.

50
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,959
Ah, so did we.

51
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,959
You don't sound, uh...

52
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,479
You don't sound English.

53
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,159
No, neither do you.

54
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,959
I'm Australian.

55
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,959
Australian, fine by me.
I'm Canadian.

56
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,960
So, we're the outsiders.
SHE LAUGHS

57
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,960
Have you, uh...
Have you been here long?

58
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,959
Ages.

59
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,960
SHE CLEARS THROAT
You're a writer?

60
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,959
All the foreigners here
are either painters or writers.

61
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,960
Which one are you? Are you a painter
or a writer, or...?

62
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,959
I'm a novelist.

63
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,960
I was a cannoneer in the army
during the war.

64
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,319
Anyway, after that,
I got a job at the Argus,

65
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,959
which is an Australian newspaper,

66
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,479
which is where I met my husband,
George.

67
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,959
It was quite a scandal
because he was married at the time,

68
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,960
and I was 23, and he was 35.

69
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,959
How old are you, Leonard?

70
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,959
Uh, I'm 26,
but don't hold it against me.

71
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,960
Oh, that's a great, great age.

72
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,959
Anyway, I got fired.

73
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,959
George resigned in, er, protest,
bless him.

74
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,959
And he got a job in London,
at The London Times,

75
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,959
as an editor, and we endured
many years of bad weather.

76
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,959
And then we decided
that we both wanted to write,

77
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,959
which was, of course,
financially disastrous,

78
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,959
so we found the cheapest place
we could.

79
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,479
We packed up our children,
and here we are.

80
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,960
Life.

81
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,960
Under two minutes.

82
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,999
Um, I heard there were, uh...

83
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,959
some rooms available

84
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,959
in a guest house,
or a guest house in a room.

85
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:01,799
Oh, you're looking for something

86
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,800
a little more long-term
and less expensive?

87
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,959
Oh, darling.

88
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,169
You don't have to be ashamed
about lack of funds here.

89
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,960
Nearly everybody on the island
is broke on a regular basis.

90
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,959
Come.

91
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,959
Where are we going?

92
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,959
Well...
SHE CLEARS THROAT

93
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,959
..we have a guest room,
if you don't mind the children.

94
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,959
It's got its own private entrance.

95
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,959
'OK. How much is it?'
'Oh, no.'

96
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,639
'I really am strapped right now.'
'No, no, no.

97
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,959
'You pay what you want,
you pay what you feel.

98
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,960
'Welcome to Hydra.'

99
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,959
SHOUTING,
CRASH IN OTHER ROOM

100
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,959
CHARMIAN: I mean, are you really
accusing me of being drunk?

101
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,799
Your son found you passed out
on the fucking couch last night,

102
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,479
next to two bottles of wine!

103
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,959
Give me a break.
I was working like a dog.

104
00:06:58,960 --> 00:06:59,960
I fell asleep.

105
00:06:59,961 --> 00:07:02,959
HE SIGHS
Anyway, where were you last night?

106
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,959
Oh, don't pretend you bloody care,
George.

107
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,799
If I didn't care,
I would've left here years ago!

108
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,959
You know what?

109
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,959
You know, maybe you're the reason
that I drink,

110
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,959
just to endure
your self-righteous bullshit!

00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,959
Leonard? Yes, Leonard, sorry.
How are you?

116
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,960
George. Nice to meet you, mate.
Nice to meet you. Sorry.

117
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,959
What's, er... What's going on?
You're, er...

118
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,640
not leaving, are you?

119
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,999
I was, uh... I was just packing,
packing up my stuff.

120
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,319
I-I'm sorry about all the ruckus.
It's, erm...

121
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,959
It's got nothing to do with you,
honestly.

122
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,959
All right.
Look, erm...

123
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:03,959
Why don't you hang your things
back up and come upstairs

124
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:04,960
and have a glass of wine with me?

125
00:08:04,961 --> 00:08:07,800
You like wine?
Oh, love wine.

126
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,959
Well, you'll fit right in.
OK.

127
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,320
I'll see you up there.
All right.

You all right?

132
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,159
I'm OK, thank you.
I can carry one.

133
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,960
Oh, I'm fine, thank you.
OK.

134
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:49,959
'You're a writer, as well?'

135
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,959
Yeah. You know, Charm and I, we...

136
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,159
we write together,

137
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,960
live together,
have three kids, so...

138
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,640
..it can get a little claustrophobic
at times.

139
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,959
It's complex, isn't it?

140
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,160
Marriage, or...

141
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,959
..humanity, more generally.

142
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,959
Well, genetically speaking,

143
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,959
we were designed to live
amongst a non-monogamous herd,

144
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,959
and now we're all
put into these little pairs.

145
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,799
And it's our, erm...

146
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,959
our morals, you see?

147
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,959
Battling our genes, it's, erm...

148
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,960
Exhausting.
It can be.

149
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,959
Well, erm...

150
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,640
I suppose I should
go and check on her, really.

151
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,159
You don't know where she is?

152
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,959
Oh, I know where she is.
HE LAUGHS

153
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,319
Too right, I do.

154
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,319
You wanna come?

155
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,960
Come on.

156
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,959
Er, Martin, just gonna
pop out for a bit, mate.

157
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,959
Will you look after the others?

158
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,960
Good man.

159
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,959
Just got paid a residual
on our latest book, you see,

160
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,799
so that's why
I was over in the mainland,

161
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,959
cos they don't
have a bank over here.

I'm Leonard.
You all right?

Good,
exactly what I was looking for.

Leonard. Leonard, Goran from Sweden.

This is Leonard. He's Canadian.

Axel. Axel?

AXEL: So, you arrived today?

177
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,959
Yeah, I arrived a few hours ago.
A few hours ago.

I was just telling George about
your original thoughts on God.

182
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,959
So refreshing.

183
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,959
You don't strike me
as the religious type, frankly.

184
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,959
The fact that we've constructed
this idea of a God

185
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,959
is a blasphemy against humanity.

186
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,959
Leonard, Leonard, Leonard,
do you believe in God?

187

Oh, of course,
He's an old friend of mine.

188
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,479
Do you believe in the Devil?

189
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,959
Oh, yeah. The Devil's
just God when He's drunk.

190
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:20,999
God when he's drunk! See, that...

I'm OK.
OK.

And, er, Axel, the man I was with?

217
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,959
He's here. We gave him an empty

Thank you.

What are you writing?

225
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,960
It's about the human paradox.

226
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,959
How?
How? Er...

227

Please sit down.
Sit down. You can...

I don't know, I see myself as...

someone that doesn't belong.

230
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,959
So I travel...

231
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,959
and search for something
to fill this...

232
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,959
void, for want of a better word,
that most of us feel.

233
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,479
We're tempted by the unknown

234
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,959
cos we've seen through
the conventions

235
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,960

I'd been in my room for two weeks.

You remember what I told you, hm?

273
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,959
Whenever you get depressed,

274
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:02,799
when things get very bad
in your head,

275

you stop what you're doing,

00:26:51,961 --> 00:26:55,479
Something exotic,
like "snatch" or "porky bank".

325

THEY LAUGH

326
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,959
You know, those people down there,
you shouldn't listen to them.

327
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,479
They're all, you know,
self-proclaimed gatekeepers

328
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,960
of some reactionary system
built on "morals".

329
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,320
Fuck them!

330
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,959
What?

331
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,959
Doesn't change the fact that I'm...

332
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,959
I'm going to work in
my uncle's garment factory tomorrow.

Lenny, Lenny, listen to me.

334
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,960
You're a poet,
and a fucking good poet.

335
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,959
Your primary obligation
is to enlighten us human beings

336
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:41,159
about the dark abyss
that lies deep inside of us.

337
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,959
You have to make us feel less alone
in our depravity.

338
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,959
Isn't that good?
You're doing a good job.

339
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,959
Don't you ever forget...

340
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,800
you are a fucking good poet...

341
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,959
..depressed or not depressed.

342
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,320
Hey...
WOMAN: You OK, Lenny?

343
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,959
He's allowed to fucking cry.

344
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,480

Well, there's no harm in doing it.

His wife?
Yeah.

500
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,640
IN NORWEGIAN:

501
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,959
CHARMIAN: Marianne,
you look beautiful tonight.

502
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,640
You always look beautiful!

503
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,959
I find it so funny
that people get so outraged

504
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,959
the minute a woman decides
to act like a man.

505
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,960
Her name is Marianne, Leonard.

506
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,959
HE GRUNTS

507
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,960
HE SCREAMS

508
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,160
HE YELLS

509
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,960
KNOCKING ON DOOR

510
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,959
Ah.

511
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,959
LEONARD: Hey.
Hey.

512
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,319
You still awake?

513
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:30,960
No, I'm sleeping.

514
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,959
WHISPERS:
Do you want some more wine?

515
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,319
Yeah, yeah.

516
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,319
Always.

517
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:38,960
GLASSES CLINKING

518
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,959
What are you writing?

519
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,960
Oh, just something silly.

520
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:01,000
Read it to me.

521
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,160
It's very... It's very mediocre.
You sure?

522
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:11,999
Yeah.

523
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,960
Come on, read it to me.

524
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,960
OK.

525
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,319
Beneath my hands

526
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,479
Your small breasts
Are the upturned bellies

527
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,960
Of breathing fallen sparrows

528
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,959
Wherever you move

529
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,959
I hear the sounds of closing wings

530
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,960
Of falling wings

531
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,960
I am speechless
Because you've fallen beside me

532
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,159
Because your eyelashes

533
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,960
Are the spines
Of tiny, fragile animals

534
00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:59,959
I dread the time

535
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:02,960
When your mouth
Begins to call me hunter.

536
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,960
