Original subtitles

Good evening.

Roman.

Look at me, Roman.

Do you believe when I say I love you, how long has this been going on today?

long has this been going on? 24 years, 25? I've always been there for you, always in any situation.

Through all your choices or your fears, all that enslavement here and anxieties I was there.

All the irrational walkouts always when shooting was just about to start. Do me a favor out,

get me out of this, get me out of that, get me out clean without burning any bridges.

Aaron needs me at home. But Aaron is just an excuse.

Lousy choices. That's your whole story. Robin, lousy choices, lousy movies, lousy men, friends

you couldn't trust. Even the one thing you can't choose, you're a mother. You made a lousy choice

there too. You had it all, Robin. A movie queen at 24. All the big studios came crawling.

Maybe I was too soft on you. Like everyone says,

I don't know. Maybe I really was. But you were just a kid and you were scared and you made the choices,

you made them all on your own and you slammed all the open doors, crushed all the dreams.

And now, now.

And now what? Talk to me. What are they offering?

I have no idea what they're offering. I wish I knew they called this morning and yelled at me for

20 minutes about how they're sick of us. Said it was a final offer. That this proposal won't be on

a table again. That's what they said. It won't be on the table again.

And what do you think it is? I want Earth what I know. One thing I do know, they won't be back.

They never spoke to me that way, Robin, ever. Sorry, I'll let Mom, I think you need to go now.

What happened? Airport security call, no pressure, same as usual.

To the back of the villager.

Prime Applauds drops out of the bus,

she rumbles into this Seattle.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

I'm not going to get out of here.

r

So what was that Aaron?

He united 435 from Rochester?

Actually no.

What was it then?

Uh, united but not Rochester.

Let's see, Wednesday 6 p.m.

For Lauderville?

Oh, I know Minneapolis.

It's not what matters.

What matters then?

That the wind was blowing from the west.

That my lady flew like a queen over the runways.

And that it looked like a match made it happen.

I thought that any minute they were going to unite those colors, that red, that white,

and the black clouds.

It's really powerful.

Okay, but guess what?

It's not going to happen anymore.

You know that, right?

Why not?

What do you care?

Because he's not going to go there.

That's why it's not going to happen.

All right, because the next time the line goes over the fence, we're going to have to pack up everything in the house.

We're going to have to move to a lousy neighborhood in the city where there will be no sky for you to see orchights.

I'd rather live in some lousy neighborhood in the city than this ship.

You have a nice neighborhood.

You know, I saved you today.

You saved me from what?

From Al's proposal.

What was the offering so sweetly?

Tell her mom, what did you offer?

I don't.

No, I don't know.

Sci-Fi, graphic novel, Holocaust.

I don't see why you won't do a Holocaust flick.

Every big, great actress that does Holocaust wins something in...

You could play both sides.

What do you mean both sides?

Well, look at you.

Nazi and victim.

You're multi-purpose for a Holocaust flick.

You know what?

What?

You could even play a collaborator if they needed one.

How many actresses have that kind of talent these days?

I don't know.

I remember when you first came to the studio, I was a young number cruncher down the hall.

Everybody said, here she comes.

She's beautiful.

She's sexy.

She's got brains, power, nobility, modesty, wellness, fantasy.

And she's one of us, goddamnit.

She's from Texas.

She's not some actress that comes from the middle of Australia that grew up in some distant form

that had to run 100 miles to get to the closest movie house where the projector runs a bunker fuel.

I remember standing in the hallway watching you walk in, and you were so beautiful.

You were Princess Bride, Buttercup.

I imagine switching your face for that of Grace Kelly's, the rear window poster.

That was a good idea.

You were the future, Robin.

You were the promise, the answer.

You were the whole package.

And now I'm in this situation.

Exactly what situation are you, Enja?

The situation of offering you the last contract that you'll ever have.

The last?

Already? I'm not even 45.

Things are changing quickly.

Very soon this whole structure, we all love so much, we'll be gone.

What's true, you mean, Miramount?

Miramount, no, no.

God forbid.

I mean the structure around the actor, the agents, the managers,

all the trappings, the trailers, the drugs, the coke, the depression, the breakups, the lovers,

the sexual kinks, the broken contracts, the terrible legitimization of tasteless scripts,

the post-failure blues, the skipping out on PR, the begging for forgiveness.

All that can be gone.

You got my drift?

No, not really.

We at Miramount want to, want to scan you.

All of you, your body, your face, your emotions, your laughter, your tears, your climaxing, your happiness, your depressions, your fears, longings.

We want to sample you.

We want to preserve you, and we want to own this thing, this thing, called Robin Wright.

And what will you do with this thing that you call a Robin Wright?

We'll do all the things that your Robin Wright wouldn't do.

Like what?

Like all the movies that you missed out on because of your lousy choices.

You gave in, you gave up, you fled, you quitched, God knows what you did.

And you did it at the last minute, and you clogged our productions and you cost us millions.

How old are you?

What difference is it made, how old I am, if you're going to create me at any age on your computer?

What difference does it make to you if I'm 16 or 60?

It doesn't.

I need Buttercup from Princess Bride.

I need Jenny from Forrest Gump.

I need, what was her name from a state of grace?

That's why I need, I don't need you.

I need you only for your history.

A history pave with lousy choices, you just said so yourself.

Yes, for the last 15 years, yes, sure.

All your movies tanked, not one.

Could keep its head above water.

But I can save you, Robin, I can save you.

From what?

From yourself, from yourself.

You know about this?

You know about what?

All this crap that he's offering me.

Oh, he doesn't know anything.

He still thinks the cameras run on bunker fuel.

What?

A bunker fuel, it's crude oil.

Never mind.

He's from the Stone Age.

Robin, your career is almost over.

You fell off the top a long time ago.

An economy of scanned actors, you know, worth two bucks.

Where at war, Robin, any actor was inside in the next six months.

His dead, gone.

Characters erased from the screen forever.

He'll be back on all fours begging me to sample you.

And what is it that I have to do to make this happen?

Nothing.

Just sign.

Half a day of scanning.

That's it.

That's it.

That and me was to Green River Act again.

Anywhere, for all eternity.

What do you mean anywhere?

No movies, no TV shows, no school plays, no fringe theater in Western Australia.

Anywhere means anywhere.

Robin Wright, the actress, will live and breathe within the walls of Merrimout Studios.

And this Robin Wright could take the money and fly off to some island in Polynesia

and discover her true self.

What do you say?

You know, it's interesting.

We actresses used to talk about how we never wanted to sleep with you for a part in the movie,

but you know what?

Honestly, I think I'd rather do that

than be a fucking chimp in your computer, death.

So thanks.

But no thanks.

The offer is valid for 30 days.

After that, she's on her own.

I know you feel, sweetie.

What's up?

It's tired, I guess.

You want to try and fly the Wright Brothers glider?

No, she's not ready yet.

So maybe one of the Cody's?

I don't know.

I missed the two o'clock landing.

What's wrong?

You look... you look sad.

Do I? Yeah.

Why don't you fly one of the Cody's?

Me?

Yeah.

I don't think so.

You can do it.

You know.

Look.

Just a little one.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

No.

Look.

Just a little one.

Come on.

You've got to try it for once.

Alone.

Gotta see what it feels like.

I'll be there to watch your line.

So it doesn't go over the fence.

I want to get kicked out of this place, sweetie.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

Sarah, get it.

Me?

Did your first see someone come to visit me here?

Right.

Here.

Hold this.

Is that okay?

Good call, darling.

Well, good with that.

I've done you.

You haven't answered my call since the meeting with the studio.

Mr. Steve, he'll draw up your contract with the studio.

He's a scanning contract genius.

Can't believe Michelle Williams, he did that contract.

They're hermetically scanned.

Nice to meet you.

Hi, kids.

Oh, thanks.

That was a nice one.

You want a drink, Al?

Sure.

Would you like a drink?

It's cool.

It's a real glider.

Yeah.

Thank you.

This is beautiful.

Hey.

And who is this?

This is Steve, a new lawyer I'm working with.

Scanning contract genius.

This is one hell of a warehouse you guys have here.

Oh, no, it's not a warehouse.

It's an old hanger for the DC 9s.

It was built in 1973.

Wow.

I mean, you could never get a 17 GBC permit to do a residential conversion like this these days?

That's for sure.

Scanning genius, eh?

Well, I happen to have seen on the entertainment channel that studios are starting to sample actors into these tiny little computer creatures.

I mean, it must change the way contracting works completely.

That's absolutely true.

Sarah.

Yeah, that's absolutely true, Sarah.

It's a completely different type of contract.

It's a one off sale.

Very tricky, lots of details, and you have to be sharp because there's no going back to fix it afterwards.

What do you mean by a one off sale?

Well, once they sample you and you're in their computer, there's no way back.

So whatever was agreed before the sampling, that's the way it is.

So you have to be really careful.

The studio owns the character.

But what character?

The one that used to be the actor.

Used to be.

The minute the studio pays and scans the actor is an actor.

He's just a person, a nobody.

And the actor he once was is from now on a character, the studio's computer.

The studio can do whatever they want unless the lawyer puts a clause in saying that they can.

So it's very tricky, very tricky.

It's a new field.

We're on the cusp.

So what happens to the actor?

What actor?

The one that used to be the actor and is now this computer creature.

He goes off to play golf somewhere.

And what if he doesn't like golf?

Well, then he plays with whatever.

Do you have a screen in this house?

Or is that too progressive for you guys?

You know what? There's something else I haven't told you.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

What is it?

Whatever you told me.

They're going to be in 15 minutes, so get it out.

What?

Oh, my God.

You were with Maria, too.

Oh, say it, you piece of shit.

Say you were with her, too.

I knew what honey.

I knew it the whole time.

The way that little creep seduced you.

Oh.

Oh, my God, Max.

Max, it makes me want to vomit.

No, I wasn't with Maria.

Oh, no, no.

Well, then who?

I wasn't with anybody.

But...

I voted for Bush.

What?

Max.

You've...

You voted for Bush?

I voted for Bush.

And you know what?

I voted for both Bush's.

Senior and junior.

Four times!

Oh, my God, Max.

Max, we're going.

Who are you?

Max, Max, we're going to be in the house.

Max, we're going to be in the house.

Max, we're going.

Who are you?

Oh, my God.

Who did I marry?

Sweetie, sweetie.

That isn't Michelle.

That isn't Michelle.

No, I mean, obviously, it's Michelle, but...

You're telling me she wasn't there when they did this?

If you really want to know, she was in Paris when they were making that crap on their computers.

I'm shocked.

I mean, it's perfect.

Perfect.

No, but it's not bad at all from the beginning of the revolution.

Notice anything?

Look at those morons.

They've been trying to solve that bug for three years.

I don't find that funny at all.

Well, okay, just wait until you see that wink in the sex scenes.

It'll crack you up.

It's hilarious.

Yeah, Mom.

You gotta admit it's good stuff.

Don't be so harsh.

Technophobia never got to human nature anywhere.

So you're with them now, hmm.

You switched sides?

Oh, come on, Robert.

Drop that fuck, receive.

It's not like anything has changed.

They came, they took, they created a crappy rom-com, just like they've been doing since the 40s.

Do you think it'd be any better for her?

For for you.

She was stuck on the set for six weeks?

Like a dog?

Kissing some actor with bad breath?

Oh, I'm just saying.

You don't have a problem with the fact that they didn't ask her?

When did they ever ask you?

You were always their puppet.

All of them that produce is their directors.

They told you what to do.

They told you how to behave, how to act, how to smile, how to love.

And they gave you the subtext, very fucking crappy line they churned out.

And when you hit 35, they told you how to look young.

Because if you didn't do what they wanted you to do, shave off a couple of years from that beautiful face of yours,

you would cease to exist for Christ's sake.

So, what's the difference?

The fucking choice?

Yes, the fucking choice.

Al, what are you talking about?

It is the gift of choice that is being taken away.

I don't want somebody else deciding when I can be what I want to be.

I want to decide.

That's my choice.

To decide if I want to be a hooker, if I want to be an opera singer, if I want to play Keith Richards, that's my choice.

Not theirs.

You're delusional.

What kind of choice was it?

When I stressed you out saying that if you didn't work for a year, you would cease to exist.

That's a choice.

All the women who were facelifted to death, I can't smile or show pain or emotion.

That's a choice.

That's just staying on as their tools.

Don't you get it?

We've been saved by some miracle through these fucking computer samples.

We've been saved.

You're nuts if you don't take that deal.

I swear to you, you're a basket case.

And everything they say about you is true about your terrible fucking choices.

Wake up, Robin.

This is your gate to freedom.

I can't find it.

Hey.

How's it going, my friend?

Yeah, everything's good, Dr. Barker.

Good.

Any new Sky monsters?

Oh, yeah, I have the real thing now.

The original Wright Brothers.

Oh, wow.

Look at that.

This is the glider.

Wow.

That's December 17, 1903.

I built a replica.

It's exactly like that, but 15 feet wide.

Yeah, she's about to make her debut.

Very good.

You know, when I think about it, you must be part of the Wright Brothers, the third one.

Aaron Wright.

Aaron Wright.

Yeah, I'm the original Wright Brothers.

I build better than them because, you know, I build in the world of jet planes and spaceships.

It's totally different.

And, you know, don't forget, they had no competition.

Yeah.

Come on.

Okay.

Syra.

Silent.

Glum.

Love.

Kite.

Kite.

Here.

Here.

Car.

Far.

Remember, Aaron, you just repeat the words.

Okay.

Table.

Able.

Sky.

Sky.

Parade.

Afraid.

Shell.

Phil.

Would that be a sign of the Klein?

Well, it's too early to say, but it looks as if he is deteriorating steadily in terms of his hearing loss.

Yes.

Train.

Train.

Thrown.

Alone.

Storm.

Warm.

And in terms of the ophthalmologist report, that is not terribly promising either.

He's definitely moved into the Red Knight as pigmentos a stage.

Is that a long, John outweigh of saying something horrific?

Well, that is a very long expression to say that his visual fields are constricting.

Eventually his night sight abilities will decline dramatically and there will be total night blindness.

And then what?

Dr. Barker.

Yes, sir.

Could we please play the volcano track again?

The volcano track.

Thank you.

Yes, sure.

And the other 50% is Aaron and that 50%.

Well, that is the mystery with this syndrome, right?

You will never know until he's 30 or 35.

If he will be completely blind.

Look, Robin.

Aaron has a beautiful mind.

He is taking the information in and translating it as he will, but his gift he hears through says alone, but he is perfectly aware of what he is doing.

Now imagine what movies would be like in 50 years.

I think that this is somewhat similar to what Aaron is doing in the way that the movie guys will just have electronic stimuli that our brains translate according to what is in our subconscious.

See, people will be given story data and they'll cast their mother or their girlfriend as Marlena Dittrick or you, all depending on what is in their particular box.

And this is exactly what Aaron is doing now.

He's a rare case and he is ahead of his time by God knows how many decades.

But why let you, my friend, how are you?

Okay.

Yeah.

Any new parts on the horizon?

Yeah.

I think so.

I think so.

Whatever happens, let Steve do all the talking.

Robin and Wright for Jeff Green.

Miss Wright.

Didn't recognize you.

Where else would you?

I think so.

You okay?

Yeah.

No child abuse, no sex on the love story of the trail, romantic comedy, no retards, no handicap, no porn, no haul costs, no Nazis.

You want this up?

You better believe it.

What are you, some sort of swastika freak or something?

No, it's not him.

It's my kid.

It's her kid.

This is Nazis and porn?

Porn?

Your age?

Anyway, Nazis and Holocaust bring in awards.

Awards for your computer artist?

Nice.

Yes, they're computer artists now, not just technicians.

Robin, look, this is just all details.

It's tributes.

My new show.

I'll agree to everything except this sci-fi bullshit.

No sci-fi, Jeff.

Sci-fi is a dumb genre in our opinion.

She's never done sci-fi before.

Now she's not going to do it now.

Well, if she'd done one sci-fi, this contract would be worth six times as much.

No sci-fi, no contract.

Then no contract.

Why?

Why sci-fi?

Sci-fi's fantasy.

Do you know how many people read Lord of the Rings?

One thousand of a single percent of the people that went to see the movie read the book.

And you want to know why?

Because it's one hell of a complicated read.

That's why it's a nightmare to get through.

It's boring.

Did you read it before you made the movie?

Are you kidding?

But I saw the movie, and that's why we make movies.

But that's not what I wanted to say.

What do you want to say, Jeff?

That I want to make you young forever.

That's what we're going to do.

Now Robin, how old are you?

45, 48, 50?

44.

Sign the sci-fi, and I guarantee that I'll make you 33, 34.

Forever young, I promise you.

Forever young.

33, 34.

Which sounds better?

32.

Greedy.

That's greedy.

34.

And we'll seal the deal for life.

Well, you know, in some countries life sentence means 20 years.

In what countries?

Middle East.

Middle East.

There are fucking animals over there.

20 years from murder.

20 years.

20 years.

This technology will be as old as the invention of the boomerang.

20 years.

Okay, great.

Can we do it now?

What?

This thing that you need to do to me.

Can we do it right this second?

Because I don't want to wait another day.

I want to do it now or never.

Robin Wright.

Aren't you?

Yes, it's me.

Chris, Christopher, Ryan.

Yes.

What are you doing here?

I'm just getting her.

Come on, don't feel sorry.

The other guys are at home doing nothing.

You're such a great cinematographer, so many great movies.

Thank you.

You know what?

At least I get to work with actors and light.

I'm lucky to be able to meet you at work.

It's just like the old times.

And I'm also lucky to get to tell you to take off your beautiful dress.

I'm changing my right down the hall to you, right?

Good to see you.

Good to see you.

Chris?

Hello?

Anybody here?

Yeah, I got you, Robin.

Just make yourself comfortable with dark Dominican people.

I don't want to miss any of your charming expressions here.

Princess.

Now smile.

Wider.

You're happy.

Happy.

Now laugh.

Big laugh.

Can we hear you laugh?

Yeah.

Come on, give me a big laugh.

Big laugh, yeah.

Okay.

Now the laughter.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Turns.

To emptiness.

Blackness.

To sadness.

I can't stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Turn off the lights.

Chris, I got it.

Give me a minute.

Okay.

Did I ever tell you how I got into this business, the editing business?

I mean the real story.

Of course, I never told you.

I was probably embarrassed.

Can you believe I've been in this business since I was 10 years old,

a fifth grader, an agent in the fifth grade?

Let me explain. We had this guy in our neighborhood, the Bronx, Joey Fairy Tale, who called him.

He was this, you know, I should have put it, he was born with a tail. A real tail. We're talking an inch, maybe two inches.

Like a boxer dog. And from the minute this came out in gym class, he suffered the most horrible abuse.

I can't describe to you what this kid went through. An eight year old boy.

They would strip him down on the street, singing songs to his tail.

Kids would stay in our service window and not in yell,

Hey Joey, give me a ride on your tail. I want to stir my chocolate milk.

So one day, I go up to him before school. I had this idea. And I say, listen Joey, from now on, anyone who wants to go on your tail, that's a buck.

And he looks at me and goes, really? I'm what am I supposed to say to them? Tell them I'll say so.

That was a screw-honey kid, hunched over a reject. Not exactly the Bronx wrestler type.

So that night, I went to the Twin Towers. I mean the Bronx Twin Towers, the Podolsky brothers. Remember Podolsky?

Started shaving at 10. And at 13, they were dating 40 year old divorcees.

That's why I tell them about Joey Ferriero. And I offer them 50 cents for every kid who wants to see his tail.

They take the tailshifts and manage the line. And I do the booking, I collect the fees.

That month, I made more dough than my old man made as a shoemaker all year.

I was 10 years old. And from then on, the business took off. By age 13, I was age-a-ting for all the losers.

The cripples, the midgets, and the fire breathing hunchbacks of the Bronx.

But then two years, we were the richest family on the block.

But when I was 15, child protection got on my case for abusing anti-cap kids. And I did three months' time.

And then, after many years, I wound up in this town. And it's all glitz and glitter. And I was ashamed of my past.

But deep inside, I knew I had an advantage over all the others. The power to recognize a flaw. A weakness. A defect.

And to exploit it for my needs as an agent. And that's how I met you.

And you were perfect for me. As lovely as an angel. And what the worst defect an actress can have.

Fear.

Such fear.

Real terror.

Terror that stands in the way of every desire.

Panic attacks before every critical meeting.

Paralysis.

With faced with truly great rose.

And I was there to help you.

I was the inner demon that lived over your fears. Made a living of your weakness.

But then the kids came along. And all of a sudden, you stopped being scared.

You've never been so happy. You just didn't want to work anymore. You wanted to be with them.

And then we felt so abandoned.

That's when I realized...

I'm not your agent. I just love you.

I was afraid you were going to leave me.

Then all of a sudden in the space of a few weeks, Aaron's conditions started going downhill.

And my strength was rebuilt from your weakness.

And Aaron grew further and further away. And we were left alone.

And now you really can't leave.

Trapped inside that monster.

This is your last performance.

And I guess it's your biggest savior.

And all the fears. All the demons.

You didn't deserve that.

You didn't deserve it.

You didn't deserve it.

You didn't deserve it.

You didn't deserve it.

You didn't deserve it.

Welcome to Abraham on the Miss Right. Is this your first time with us?

It certainly is.

I see you're expected at the Mira Mount Abraham Hotel as a distinguished guest of the Futures Congress.

That's a pretty good-looking car for its age. What year is it?

2013.

Just a reminder, Miss Right.

Abraham's city is a restricted, animated zone.

The only way to leave the animation zone is when we meet again on your way up.

You were empty.

You were empty.

You were empty.

You were empty.

In the age of spiritual machines, where the streets have no names,

the earth is covered with rage and shame.

Agent Robin is back again.

Triple R. Rebel robot Robin, Street Fighter. Now, in the air.

Good afternoon, Miss Right. Welcome to Mira Mount Hotel, Abraham.

Welcome to Mira Mount Hotel, Abraham.

The city of Abraham and Mira Mount Navasaki, welcome you to the Futures Congress.

We would like to remind you that Abraham is a fully restricted, animated zone.

Agent Robin is back again.

Triple R. Rebel robot Robin, Street Fighter. Now, in the air.

Hi, Aaron. So I see you've left your room. You feeling better?

No. It means it stopped raining, so I can walk without being afraid of slipping on wet leaves.

So how does it look?

Oh my God, I wish you could see me animated. It's pretty sick.

It's like a genius designer on a bad acid trip.

How do you mean?

Oh my God, I don't know. I look like a combination between Cinderella on heroin and an Egyptian queen on a bad hair day.

Mom?

What?

Do they recognize you at all? I mean, a new film is out. It's all over the air.

No, nobody sees me.

I'm just an old lady to them.

Probably because you're animated.

No, they never recognize me anyway.

Welcome to the rights. No one's recognized me for 30 years.

I'm going to go up to my room for a while. I'll check in later, okay? I love you.

Robin Wright, a personal guest of Miralant Classic.

Right, Robin. You're the sixth one today.

The sixth what?

The sixth Robin Wright. I guess they didn't look as Robin-ish as you do.

Anyway, Ralph will see you to your room. Miss Wright. Have a pleasant Congress.

The animated zone.

Wright, you think that the new film, Street Fighters, reflects our lives in any way?

Yeah, I do. I mean, you know, I find something new in this character, Agent Robin, every time I do it.

Like now, in the Street Fighters production, you know, the robots that come from the gutters, they're so much a part of our lives.

They're close to us because people buy household robots and they basically just suck the blood out of them.

And then they just use them up and they expire.

And the poor robots, you know, they used to have rehab centers for them.

And now they just- they use a mis-scrap. It's so sad.

And I don't know, people call triple R sci-fi, but I just say it's documentary.

Wright, welcome. Thank you.

Room service? Hello? Can I have room service?

Yes, Miss Wright. How can I help you?

The lights went out and hear the power. Everything's off.

Does that make sense or is this just in my mind?

Ultimately, everything makes sense. And everything is in our mind.

What would you like to order, Miss Wright?

I want to full breakfast, just three eggs.

And hash browns and toast, please.

And to drink, Miss Wright.

No, I'll skip the liquids. All types of leopies.

Yes, all types. How long would that be?

Two seconds. How would you like your eggs, Miss Wright?

Over easy, but will the yolks be soft by the time they hit the hundredth floor?

But of course, Miss Wright. That's exactly why we at the Miramout Hotel, Abrahama, invented the supersonic elevator.

Ralph, is it dark in here or is it just in my mind?

Everything is in our mind. If you see the dark, then you chose the dark.

Are you Robin Wright?

Yes? At least I used to be.

Hi. So you're here too, huh?

You and I are the only ones you survived.

And who are all the rest?

Characters. They invented.

MUSIC

What have you been doing all these years?

I was with UNICEF, handing out food to the hungry kids of Africa. And you?

Taking care of my son.

MUSIC

Robin! Robin! Robin! Robin! Wow!

Wow! You look fantastic. I animated, I mean.

Look who's left. Just you and what's his name, sitting outside. That guy's one thing. He cost me a fortune, but you? I paid two cents for your contract. And here you still are. 20 years later.

What have you been doing all these years?

Feeding hungry children in Africa.

Hmm. You still have hungry kids there, huh?

Well, not so many, thanks to you. So tell me about this Congress, Geoff. Why is everyone so stressed out?

Well, while you'll see in a while.

What will I see?

You see, Robin. Pretty soon this whole structure will stop existing.

What do you mean, Geoff? This is the Mira Mount Classic Mira Mount Hotel?

No, no, no, not Mira Mount Hotel. I mean, this whole structure won't exist.

MUSIC

The scriptwriter, who needs his antidepressants. The extraterrestrial storyboard artist with the drinking problem.

The animators are always behind deadlines.

And those idiots who fall in love with their computer characters.

The special effects people, they can all go and fuck themselves.

MUSIC

Movies are old news, Robin. A remnant of the last millennium.

As we'll very soon find out upstairs in the Futurist Congress, Mira Mount Nagasaki is entering a new age.

We're in the era of free choice.

And what does that mean for the extension of our contract?

The contract is a little big deal. Just a 20-year extension. And one other little clause.

What's in this other little clause, Geoff?

From now on, they can drink you. Or you can be eaten in an omelet or a creme de la.

You see, Robin, from now on, you're a substance. That's all.

You're a chemical formula. That Mira Mount Nagasaki's brilliant pharmaceutical department has cracked.

And people can drink you in their milkshakes and imagine you the way that they like.

Everything?

Yes. Everything means everything.

Drama, little red riding hood, extreme art house, porn, comedy, sci-fi trash, zombies.

What do you care?

Now tell me something, Robin. And when you fantasize alone and bad in the dark, do you pay him or her royalties?

You'll sign anywhere, Robin.

Oh, yeah, and why do you think so?

Because you might have sold your images in actress. But the actress never left your soul.

You drove all this way just to be on stage for a single moment to fame, to be seen after all these years.

And you will sign for the same reason.

Ladies and gentlemen, look at us for God's sake, look at us.

Can you believe that a tiny mini-ambual manufactured at the Mira Mount Nagasaki Labs made this neo-God creation happen?

Well, I'd say if you're here, you're a believer.

My friends, I came here to declare that our great, great scientists at the Mira Mount Nagasaki Labs have recently cracked the chemical formula of free choice.

I, Rive Box, President of Mira Mount Nagasaki, here to declare that as of tomorrow, that genius free choice formula will be out in the market accessible for each and every human being.

Now just imagine life with no frustration.

No jealousy, no ego.

You have a dream. They are dream for God's sake.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is a supreme honor for me to invite to this stage the everlasting symbol of the Mira Mount Nagasaki Revolution.

She used to be our finest actress. Then she became the best ever digital actress, Agent Robin.

And as of tomorrow, you can be her. They, her, be with her. Robin Wright!

Look at me. They call me the symbol. I used to be an actress. And then I was a pile of computer code.

And now as of tomorrow, you're going to be able to drink me. You can become me by drinking a milkshake.

Wake up people. Wake up. Behind every chemical compound you invent and use, there is a person built exactly like you. From the same material, the same loves, the same dreams. Wake up.

This is my son. He can barely hear he's death. And you could have been his hope, all of you. Did you ever think to direct your chemistry research to his problem?

Or to hundreds of millions of other children? Did you ever?

I just want to remind you of one thing. That if you think that by releasing your chemistry to the world, you'll dictate how we desire what we desire.

I just want to tell you by doing that, you'll be releasing your conscience as well. And your conscience will devour you.

And you'll die of guilt. You will die of guilt.

Look at me. I'm your prophet of doom. Look at me.

You've gone too far. Don't you get it?

Just imagine tomorrow when you leave Abrahamah, you will never know that you left it. Because from tomorrow on, Abrahamah will no longer be a Looney Tunes playground.

Abrahamah is going to be our life.

Abraham!

We should go back inside.

Rob, he's rotted right. Come on, let's go. Now!

Breathe.

Breathe deeply. Pull it in as long as you can.

Come on.

You need to get down below. How do you feel it coming up?

Do you believe them?

Of course I believe them. We're already trapped in our animated characters.

No!

Sarah! Sarah!

Sarah! I think you're so Sarah.

You probably did. It's just like her to be one of the rebels. You should be very proud.

How do you know, Sarah? How do you know?

I know a lot more than you can imagine, Robin.

Okay, clear out. Got a badly injured woman here.

I said we have a woman with severe head injuries here. What's wrong with you people? She has irreversible hallucinogenic poisoning.

Who's giving up their seat? I suggest we draw straws. Who are you? I'm from management.

What management? Hotel management. Everyone hears hotel management. It's powerful, important people.

Whoa!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Come on, Robin. Stay with me.

Robin, I need you to stay with me. This is very important. Listen to me. Don't sink. Don't give up.

Stay awake, please.

I want to see my son.

I want to see his first time alone at home.

Yes. As soon as we can, I'll connect you. Stay awake, please.

Robin, tell me about her.

Are you Robin right?

Yes, why?

Wear them out, please. Come on, board.

Give her more oxygen. We need her alive.

We might keep her alive if you didn't manufacture a thousand dirty old ladies like that.

Or you fucking whore.

You know what a stunning old lady she's turning into?

No surgery, nothing. She's a clean cut. You can't manufacture that. We need her. Keep her alive.

Off or from the hospital? We're already there.

Aaron!

Who are you?

Dylan. Dylan True later.

Do you work for them?

They used to.

Until this morning when they declared the Futures to Congress Revolution.

I'm the animator. We moved you on the computers for 20 years.

Out of the Robin Wright department at Miramap.

Your body.

Your face. Your smile.

Your sadness.

It was my whole life for the past 20 years.

Tell me more.

I was an unemployed animator. They put me on the Robin department for the first film.

Triple or strike.

I was lost.

Why?

Because I had an uncle who you were.

I'd never seen you anything.

I had to research you.

Obsessively.

What was there to research?

Where you came from? Where you went?

Texas, the All-American girl. Tight jeans and boots.

After that week, I came and pitched them the lasso idea.

I had an illustration drawn in pencil.

The rebels! They've taken over management!

What management? Miramandagasaki.

They've taken over the management floor and stopped the chemistry flow.

We're going to be real again.

How do I know if I'm dreaming?

Do you know what my dreams are?

Robin.

Can you see my dreams?

For a cockroaches plate poker on your lap is that a dream?

Yes. That's not mine.

Did any of you think about me that whole time about what I went through after I sold myself?

Well, I was obsessed with you for years.

With her not my dream.

For me, it's the same thing.

At some point, I was dried up.

I was afraid they'd take you away from me,

give you some upcoming young genius.

I went looking for you all over California.

I needed new movements, different sensuality, things a woman gains with age.

Target on vicinity 0.3 miles over.

Bomb has dysfunction.

Bomb has dysfunction.

Bomb has dysfunction.

Bomb has dysfunction.

Hey guys, let me go down there and take care of this situation.

Where is everyone?

They hallucinated themselves out to freedom.

Where's Dylan?

Oh, he went with the flow.

Why am I the only one left?

Because you fucked up again.

What exactly was going through your mind when you got on that stage?

What do you mean? You invited me, you said I was the symbol.

The symbol?

The symbol of what?

The chemical revolution, Jeff, you said.

You're not a symbol. You're nothing.

The symbol is what we created of you.

Robin, look at yourself.

Does that look like a symbol?

It was suicide what you did out there on stage.

You left us. No choice.

Delighted.

Dogenous.

Hul b g g talky.

Past B

lbs.

How would you like it?

A bullet to the head.

One. A quick.

The quickest possible. I just want to get out of this whole discussion.

After all these years, it's time you knew that this is no hallucination.

This is our lives, Robin.

The following case is particularly interesting.

The patient whom some of you might know was an actress once. I forget her name.

She suffered severe hallucinogenic contamination during the Abraham uprising.

For some four months now, she's been convinced that her life, everything she's experienced, is all hallucination.

It was so extreme that when the rescue forces reached Abraham, she begged the chief fireman to put a bullet in her hand.

She's a lost case, hopeless.

So much so that we've decided to freeze her.

With today's advancements, our liquid nitrogen can easily keep her frozen for 70 years.

Bring her down.

Erin?

Erin?

Erin?

Erin?

Aaron, you heard me. You heard me calling you.

Yeah, Mom, I heard you. Of course I did. What's so weird about that?

And now for the weather.

The weather company apologizes for the lack of complete symmetry in the rainbows for the past two days.

On the other hand, symmetry contradicts art.

Robin, you must release your mind from the thoughts.

I don't understand it.

What?

I was supposed to wake up in the distant future.

It's like bringing a diver back from the bends.

You have to start as far away as possible with the things you know from childhood.

This is the setup we chose for you.

It was the early 1980s.

But now, Robin, you have a visitor. Do you feel ready for him?

What are you doing here?

I waited for you.

For me?

Yes.

For the moment when you could be thawed, when medicine could advance enough to fix you.

You waited for me all those years?

Yes.

I was the last person to see you, and I had a responsibility.

I see Sarah as fine.

She was saved from the Abrahamian revolt, whatever that means.

And now they're looking for my errand.

This is Aaron's original DNA listing.

I've been looking for him for a very long time, since I knew they were about to fight.

And?

There's no sign.

No trace.

I don't think he's with us anymore.

What do you mean not with us? What do you mean in this world?

Or that he's not alive? What are you saying? What are you saying?

He's dead?

It's much more complicated, Robin.

The world today is unlike the world you came from.

To find Aaron alive or not, we have to go on a very long journey.

But do you think there's a direction? There's a clue?

I hope so.

But we have to start somewhere.

I'm here to take you out into the big city.

No one told me for how long I've been frozen.

Could have been a year, could have been twenty.

Time is now a subjective matter. You decide in your mind when day breaks, or when the moon fades.

After a while you probably lose the numeric calendar as we once knew it.

Look at me. I'm the smartest.

New York is now a city of suspended gardens that reach the sky the wild colors they strike you full force of the people.

They're so beautiful, they're so young, and radiant, exuding serenity, beauty, and sexuality.

There's no more ego. Thanks to chemistry, we've been redeemed.

There's no ego, no competition, no violence, no war, no strong a week, no secrets.

Everyone is what they are. Everyone is what they want to be.

And while they consume their new personality, they spread in the air those pheromones that your mind translates into an image.

There is no way I can imagine hearing in this world.

This street holds the wisdom of a thousand years. A year ago when I was soon in Greek mythology, I woke up half man half God.

I impregnated one Zeus's daughters. I burned an entire city. And then I fucked the city, and then I burned it, and I punished it. It's all about feeling.

I'm not going to be a good one.

I'm not going to be a good one.

I'm not going to be a good one.

I'm not going to be a good one.

I'm not going to be a good one.

You just make a choice, and you feel whatever you want. What do you choose? Robyn?

Usher syndrome.

What level of Usher syndrome?

I think it's type two.

Why do you need this? Are you researching someone?

No. I'm missing someone.

I'm not going to be a good one.

I'm not going to be a good one.

I'm not going to be a good one.

I'm not going to be a good one.

I'm not going to be a good one.

I'm not going to be a good one.

I'm not going to be a good one.

Sarah.

She's a naturalist now.

No, no, no, don't.

Don't. Don't.

Don't. Don't.

Don't do you any good.

You'll never be able to recognize her, and she won't...

Don't know who you are anyway.

But trust me, Robin, she's happy.

She's one of the only people who still brings children into this world.

So, I'll tell you what I want.

May you build a ladder to the start,

climb on everyone.

May you stay.

Forever young.

Forever young.

Forever young.

May you stay.

Forever young.

Forever young.

Forever young.

May you stay.

Forever young.

Forever young.

Forever young.

What if I don't want to take part in the chemical party?

Then you'll realize very soon that you can't because you won't be part of this world.

And where will I be?

On the other side?

What's on the other side, Dylan?

Truth.

And who is on the other side?

The ones who didn't pass over, who aren't taking part in the chemical party,

and of course everyone who operates the world.

You see here?

Have you been there?

No.

Why not?

Because I don't know if you can get back.

It's like coming back from death.

Maybe some have, but we'll never know.

Then send me there, and I'll tell you what it's like on the other side.

Do you have a way to send me there?

Yes.

Is it at home? The substance?

It's not a chemical cocktail.

It's kind of a whiteout that deletes all the chemical influences in a second.

And the truth comes right out.

And where is it?

What?

It's like the cyanide capsules, the Nazis' hand.

In case of surrender.

Why?

When I left the old world, I took one.

It was my compensation from Miramont Nagasaki.

That's what I asked them for after 20 years of work.

This little capsule.

I want it.

And if your son comes back while you're gone.

And if he's there, what if he's on the other side, that's more likely.

This is all I have left.

Robin, if you take it, you're leaving.

You're leaving me. You can't do that.

Not now.

Not now.

Then come with me.

I can't. The capsule is only strong enough for one person.

It's your choice, and I'll give you anything you want.

I love you.

Robin, I have always loved you. I loved you for 20 years when I didn't even know you and you are my entire world.

And I loved you for 20 more years when I waited every hour of every day for you to come back.

Promise me you're not going to look at the real me.

Promise me you'll remember me this way.

My problems.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I'm not sure if I can find any of the people I'm seeing.

Excuse me.

Can you tell me where I can find an ENT physician named Dr. Barker?

Sure. This cabin will be at the end of the corridor.

Huh?

I know you'd never cross over to the other side.

Don't be so impressed that I'm still here.

Being here on this side of the truth is not so brave.

Ah.

Well, Robin, nothing has really changed, hasn't it?

Once we just massed the truth with antidepressants and drugs that concealed and lied.

Now we reinvent the truth.

Not such a big difference.

The drugs have just gotten much, much better.

And is there no choice?

The only choice is between waiting for death here and this filth of truth or hallucinating over there.

Maybe it's better over there.

Dreaming.

And Aaron.

Aaron waited for you here. All those years.

19 years he waited for you to come back.

His condition got worse than worse than death.

He was almost totally blind by the end.

But he... he didn't cross over.

Even though I told him to, I begged him to because I knew that I wouldn't be here forever to help take care of.

Six months ago he crossed over.

He's someone else now in the world of chemical fantasy over on the other side.

Six months?

Exactly six months ago.

He just broke down, Robin.

And I think he thought that I was going to die.

He no longer believed that you would ever come back.

Basically there is no way to find Aaron.

Here he doesn't exist.

And on the other side there is no way of knowing who he is now.

But you can still go back there. And that's something too.

That's better than waiting for death.

And on this other side.

What about it?

Can I go back to where I came from?

There is no such thing as the place that you came from.

You invented it.

You will go where your mind and your chemistry will take you.

Enough to your experience here. That will be a place in your consciousness completely different from any you have been to before.

Your past is dead, Robin.

I'll fix you an ampute. And then I will call the kite.

I know where you are going, Robin.

Yes, I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

Aaron?

Aaron?

Aaron?

Aaron?

Aaron?

Aaron?

Aaron?

Aaron?

Aaron?

Aaron?

Aaron?
