I'm voting
for Dukakis.

Hmm.

Well,

maybe when you have
children of your own...

who need braces and
you can't afford them...

because half of your
husband's paycheck...

goes to the federal government,
you'll regret that.

My husband's paycheck?

[Chuckles]

Anyway, I'm not gonna squeeze
one out till I'm, like, 30.

Will you still be working
at the Yarn Barn?

Because I hear that's a great
place to raise children.

That's really funny.

No, I think a year of partying is enough.
She'll be going to Harvard next fall.

Morn, I haven't
even gotten in yet.

Do you honestly think Michael
Dukakis will provide...

for this country till you're
ready to squeeze one out?

Yeah, I do.
Hmm.

- When can I squeeze one out?
- Not until 8th grade.

- Excuse me?
- Donnie, you're such a dick.

Whoa, Elizabeth!
A little hostile there.

Maybe you should be
the one in therapy.

Then Mom and Dad can pay
someone $200 an hour...

to listen to all your
thoughts so we don't have to.

Okay. You want to
tell Mom and Dad...

why you stopped
taking your medication?

- You're such a fuck-ass!
- What?

- Please.
- Did you just call me a “fuck-ass”?

Elizabeth, that's enough.
You can go suck a fuck.

Please, tell me, Elizabeth,
how does one suck a fuck?

- You want me to tell you?
- Please, tell me.

- We will not have this at the dinner table.
- [Mouths Words]

Stop.
Fuck.

- What's a fuck-ass?
- [Chuckles]

[Sighs]

Part of the reason I took a
year off was to be with you.

Cut it.

What?
How did you know?

I didn't know
it was such a big deal.

It is a big deal.

I'm with the F.A.A.

We'd like to speak to you
and your husband privately.

In private?
Please.

We'll be right back.

And... here.

All right.

We have arranged for you
to stay at a hotel.

Get some sleep and we will
take care of things here.

Great.
Thank you.

[ Eddie] Kids, come on,
we're going to a hotel.

They don't know

Is there any way we can

Can we get on television

Shut up, Sam.

Why do I have to sleep with Donnie?
He stinks.

But he dodged it.

“There would be headlines
in the papers.

“Even the grown-up gangs who ran the
betting at the all-in wrestling...

“and the Barrow boys
would hear with respect...

“of how Old Misery's house
had been destroyed.

“It was as though
this plan had been...

“with him all his life,
pondered through the seasons,

“now in his 15th year crystallized...

with the pain of puberty.”

What is Graham Greene trying to
communicate with this passage?

Why did the children
break into Old Misery's house?

- Joanie?
- They wanted to rob him.

Joanie, if you had actually
read the short story,

which, at a whopping 13 pages
would have kept you up all night,

you would know that the children.
. . You suck.

Find a great deal of money in
the mattress, but they burn it.

Donnie Darko,

perhaps with your recent
brush with mass destruction,

you can give us
your opinion.

Well, they say it right
when they flood the house,

and they tear it to shreds
that, like, uh,

destruction is
a form of creation.

So the fact that they
burn the money is ironic.

They just want to see what happens
when they tear the world apart.

They want to
change things.

[ Door Opens ]

- May we help you?
- Yeah, I just registered,

and they put me in

[Woman On TV]
For my entire life,

I was a victim
of my own fear.

Love.

[Woman] I was feeding
fear with food.

Fear.

[Horse Whinnies]

And finally,
I looked in the mirror.

Notjust
in the mirror,

I looked through
the mirror.

In that image...

I saw my ego reflection.

For two years,
I thought it was normal...

- for a 10-year-old to wet the bed.
- [Giggles]

We tried everything.
Shh'. Qmet.

But the solution was
there all the time.

I'm not afraid anymore!

All over America...

people have come together
to join hands.

People who believe...

that human life...

is absolutely
too important,

too valuable
and too precious...

to be controlled
by fear.

today because it's flooded.

No way.
Yeah.

Holy shit! That's the best
news I've ever heard!

My God, is this
ever going to stop?

Eventually,
yes, it will.

But right now I got 12
classrooms full of water...

all coming from
a busted water main.

What else?
What else?

Principal Cole,
I'll show you what else.

That's unbelievable. That's
solid bronze, isn't it?

Yep.
How did this happen?

I heard a cat burglar broke
in and trashed everything.

And the mongrel
got his head cut off.

It's true.

Beth's mom said
the boys' locker room...

was flooded and they found feces
everywhere. What a re feces?

Baby mice.
Aww.

Hey.

Has anyone ever told
you that you're sexy?

- HEY-
- HEY-

School was canceled.

Do you want to
walk me home?

Sure.

Don't look so freaked.
I'm not.

You should
check your backpack.

Those guys like to steal shit.
Yeah.

Fuck 'em!

So, why did you move here?
My parents got a divorce.

My mom had to get a restraining
order against my stepdad.

He has emotional problems.
Oh, I have those too.

What kind of emotional
problems does your dad have?

He stabbed my mom
four times in the chest.

Oh.

Did he go to jail?

No, he fled. They
still can't find him.

But my morn and I had
to change our names.

And I thought “Gretchen
Ross” was really cool.

Yeah. I was in jail once.
I mean-

I accidentally
burned down this house.

It was abandoned,
but still-

I got held back in school and I can't
drive until I'm 21 . You know?

But I'm over
all of that.

I'm painting and stuff.

Writing.
I want to be a writer.

Or maybe a painter,
maybe both.

I'll write a book
and draw the pictures.

Then maybe people
will understand me.

I don't know,
change things.

“Donnie Darko.” What the
hell kind of name is that?

It's like some sort of
superhero or something.

it's Monnitoff.
But that's easy.

Antiseptics.

The whole
sanitation thing.

Joseph Lister, 1895.

Before antiseptics,
there was no sanitation,

especially in medicine.
You mean, soap?

Well, I'm really glad
school was flooded today.

Why is that?

Because you and I never would
have had this conversation.

You're weird.

50W-

No, that was
a compliment actually.

Well, look-

You want to
go with me?

Where do you
want to go?

I mean, like,
“go” with me.

It's what we
call it here.

“Going together.”
Sure.

Okay. Hey,
where are you going?

I'm going home.

So stupid!

“Where are you going?”

I'd like to try
something new this time.

Have you ever
been hypnotized?

No.

And when I clap my hands twice, you
will wake up. Do you understand?

Yes.

So, tell me
about your week.

I met a girl.

What is her name?

Gretchen.

We're going
together now.

Do you still think
about girls a lot?

Yeah.

How are things
going at school?

I think about girls
a lot.

I asked you
about school, Donnie.

I think about
fucking a lot during school.

What else do you think
about during school?

Married with Children.

Do you think
about your family?

I just turn down the volume...

and think about fucking
Christina Applegate.

I asked you about
your family, Donnie.

No.

I don't think about
fucking my family.

That's gross.

Middlesex chick, you know?

Like, this cute little blonde that
will get down and dirty with the guys.

Like Smurfette does.
Smurfette doesn't fuck.

[Cocks Rifle, Fires]

That's bullshit. Smurfette
fucks all the other Smurfs.

Why do you think
Papa Smurf made her?

Because all the other Smurfs
were getting too horny.

No, no, no, not “Vanity.” I
heard he was a homosexual.

Okay, well, you know what? Then she
fucks them while Vanity watches. Okay?

What about
Papa Smurf?

- He must get in on the act/on. - Yeah,
what he does, he films the gang-bang.

Later on, he beats off
to the tape.

First of all,

Papa Smurf didn't
create Smurfette.

Gargamel did. She was sent
in as GargamePs evil spy...

with the intention of
destroying the Smurf village.

But the overwhelming
goodness...

of the Smurf way of life
transformed her.

And as for the whole
gang-bang scenario-

[ Laughs] ltjust couldn't happen.
Smurfs are asexual.

They don't even have reproductive
organs under those little white pants.

That's what's
so illogical, you know,

about being a Smurf.

What's the point
of living...

if you don't have a dick?

Huh. She does the same
thing every clay.

and back and forth

Authorities continued...

their search today for a suspect

You'll find this
very helpful.

So glad there's
a good turnout tonight.

What are you trying

There was urine and feces
flooded in my office.

Whatever fits.

Whatever fits?

In cooperation with

into the cause

And our suspects include
several of our own students-

I want to know
why this filth...

is being taught
to our children.

[Panting]

Kitty, I would appreciate-

If you would wait-

Dr. Cole, not only
am I a teacher,

but I am also a parent
of a Middlesex child.

Therefore I am
the only person here...

who transcends
the parent-teacher bridge.

[ Frank]
Don't worry.

You got away with it.

I have in my hand Graham
Greene's “The Destructors.”

This short story is part of my
daughter's English assignment.

In this story,
several children...

destroy an elderly man's
house from inside out.

[Thumping]

How can you do that?

- [Thumping]
- [ Gasps]

And how do they do this?
They flood the house...

by breaking through
a water main.

[ Frank]
I can do anything I want.

And so can you.

[ Applause ]

And I think that this
garbage should be removed.

Excuse me. What is
the real issue here?

- The P.T.A. doesn't ban books.
- The P.T.A. is here to acknowledge...

that pornography is being
taught in our curriculum!

- It's meant to be ironic. - Excuse me.
You need to go back to grad school.

Why did you make me
flood the school?

They are in great danger.

Kitty, do you even know
who Graham Greene is?

[ Scoffs ] I think we
have all seen Bonanza.

Well, um-

[Laughing]

[ Girl]
Yeah, right.

In these modern times...

our attitudinal beliefs
are so delicate,

so fragile.

I have had
a cunning vision.

This vision
has released me.

It's important that our
lifeline be rejuvenated...

so that we can
breathe again.

It's time to breathe.

It is time to breathe.

Thank you,jim Cunningham!

[ Woman]
Thank you, jim Cunningham.

So now let us begin lifeline
exercise number one.

Please press “stop” now.

[Sighs]

As you can see,

the lifeline is divided
into two polar extremes.

Fear and love.

Fear is in the negative
energy spectrum.

And love is in the positive
energy spectrum.

No duh.

Excuse me? “No duh”
is a product of fear.

Now, on each card
is a character dilemma...

which applies
to the lifeline.

Please- Take this!

Thank you.

Please read each
character dilemma aloud...

and place an

on the lifeline
in the appropriate place.

Cherita?

“Juanita has an important
math test today.

“She has known about the test
for several weeks...

“but has not studied.

“In order to keep
from failing her class,

Juanita decides that she will
cheat on the math test.”

Good, good.
Very good.

Mr. Darko.

“Ling Ling finds a wallet on
the ground filled with money.

“She takes the wallet to the
address on the driver's license...

but keeps the money
inside the wallet.”

[ Scoffs ] I'm- I'm sorry, Mrs.
Farmer. I don't get this.

Just place an “X” on the lifeline
in the appropriate place.

No. I know what to do.
I just- I don't get this.

You can't lump things into two categories.
Things aren't that simple.

The lifeline is
divided that way.

Well, life
isn't that simple.

I mean, who cares
if Ling Ling...

returns the wallet
and keeps the money?

It has nothing to do
with either fear or love.

Fear and love are the
deepest of human emotions.

Okay. But you're
not listening to me.

There are other things that need
to be taken into account here,

like the whole spectrum
of human emotion.

You can't just lump everything
into these two categories...

and then just deny
everything else.

If you don't complete
the assignment,

you'll get a zero
for the day.

Donald,

let me preface this
by saying. . .

That your Iowa
test scores are...

intimidating.

So...

let's go over
this again.

What exactly did you
say to Mrs. Farmer?

I'll tell you what he said!

He asked me to forcibly insert the
lifeline exercise card into my anus!

[ Snickers, Coughs]

[ Woman ]
These are modern times.

My political attitudes
are forthright.

[Chuckles] And [ft/Jere '5 a vice

worthy of my vote, it has
to be Dan Quayle. Yeah.

[ Mrs. Farmer] Nobody cares
about responsibility,

morality,
family values.

Mm-hmm.

[Sighs]
Kitty-

- Excuse us, please.
- Hmph.

They've suspended him
from after-school activities...

for the next six months.

[Sighs]

Ever since this
jet engine fiasco,

I honestly don't know
what's gotten into him.

Rose, I'll tell you this
because our daughters...

have been on the dance team
together for two years,

and I respect you
as a woman.

After witnessing your son's behavior this
afternoon, I have significant doubts about your-

Our paths through life
must be righteous.

I urge you to go home and
look in the mirror...

and pray that your son doesn't
succumb to the path of fear.

[ Elizabeth]
Wait. Do you remember...

that weird gym teacher
Mrs. Farmer?

Yeah. Okay,
well, my brother...

told her to shove a
book up her ass today.

And then my parents just
bought him all this new shit.

Yeah, I know. I wish a jet
engine would fall in my room.

[ Bells Tolling]

Yeah.

Dr. Monnitoff?
Donnie.

Um, I know this
isgonnasound kind of weird,

but, uh, do you know anything
about, um, time travel?

[ Dr. Monnitoff] Ah, a wormhole
with an Einstein-Rosen bridge,

which is, theoretically,
a wormhole in space...

controlled by man.

So, according to Hawking,

a wormhole may be able
to provide a shortcut...

forjumping between two distant
regions of space-time.

So in order to travel back
in time, you have to have...

a big spaceship or something that can
travel faster than the speed of light?

Theoretically. And be able to
find one of these wormholes?

The basic principles
of time travel are there.

You've got your vessel
and your portal,

and your vessel could be
just about anything,

most likely a spacecraft.
Like a Delorean?

Metal craft
of any kind.

You know, I love that movie,
the way they shot it.

It's so, um, like,
futuristic, you know?

Listen, um, don't tell anybody
that I gave you this.

The woman who wrote this
used to teach here.

She was a nun many years
before that, but, uh,

then overnight,
she just-

she became this entirely
different person.

She up and left the Church.
She wrote this book.

She started teaching science,
right here at Middlesex.

The Philosophy
of Time Travel.

Roberta Sparrow?

That's right.

[Chuckles]
Come on.

Roberta Sparrow?

Roberta Sparrow.

“Grandma Death.”

it's called
The Philosophy of Time Tra ve/.

What does philosophy have
to do with time travel?

Let me see.
Guess who wrote it.

Who? Roberta Sparrow?

Huh. She wrote a book.

“Grandma Death”
wrote a book.

That's a terrible nickname.

We almost hit her
with the car the other day.

She lives up there in that
piece of crap house.

And you know
she's loaded. She's-

Yeah, you're right. She used t0
be known for her gem collection.

Kids...

used to go up there all the time
and try to steal stuff from her.

She became a total recluse.

Huh. I didn't even know
she was alive...

till we damn near
knocked her down the other day.

[ Donnie]
She was just standing there...

in the middle
of the road, frozen.

So I got out of the car...

and I walked over
to see if she was okay.

And she leaned over
and whispered in my ear.

- What did she say?
- I think Frank wants me to go talk to her,

because the last time
I saw him...

he asked me if I knew
about time travel.

She wrote a book
about it,

so that can't be
a coincidence, right?

Donnie, what did
Roberta Sparrow say to you?

She said that every living
creature on Earth dies alone.

How did that
make you feel?

It reminded me of
my dog Callie.

She died when
I was eight,

and she crawled
underneath the-

the porch.

To die?

To be alone.

Do you feel alone
right now?

Oh, I don't know.

I mean, I'd like to believe
I'm not, but I just-

I'vejust never
seen any proof, so I-

I just don't debate it
anymore, you know?

It's like I could
spend my whole life...

debating it over and over again,
weighing the pros and cons.

And in the end, I still wouldn't
have any proof. So I just-

I just don't
debate it anymore.

[Laughs]
it's absurd.

The search for God
is absurd?

It is if everyone dies alone.

Does that scare you?

I don't want to be alone.

So, uh, what are we

[ Gretchen] And what if you
could go back in time...

and take all those hours
of pain and darkness...

and replace them
with something better?

Like images or what?

Yeah, like a Hawaiian sunset
or the Grand Canyon?

Just things that remind you
of how beautiful the world-

We've been going together
for, like, two weeks.

Yeah?

Well, I, uh-
I- Uh-

You wanna kiss me?

Look, Donnie, wait.

I like you a lot. I
just want it to be...

at a time when it-

When what?

When it reminds me just-

When it reminds you
how beautiful the world can be?

Yeah.

And right now there's some fat
guy over there staring at us.

I don't think telling any woman to
forcibly insert an object up her anus...

is something that should
go without consequence.

I think we should
buy him a moped.

I think we should

Why would I tell Mom?

'Cause you tell Mom everything.
No, I don't.

Thank you for seeing us

We've both felt that
it was time...

What I think is
going on with your son?

Yes.

Um-
Well, he's, um-

You know about
his past,

and he was suspended from school
for insulting his gym teacher.

I'm not really sure
that's a good example.

I think he had just cause
to insult her.

Rose, let me just lay out what
I believe is happening here.

[ Dr. Thurman]
Donnie's aggressive behavior,

his increased detachment
from reality...

seem to stern from
his inability to cope...

with the forces in the world that
he perceives to be threatening.

Has he ever told you
about his friend Frank?

- Frank?
- Yes, the giant bunny rabbit.

The what?

I don't recall...

him ever having
mentioned a rabbit.

Donnie is experiencing
what is commonly called...

a daylight hallucination.
[ Th u m pi n g ]

This is a common occurrence...

among paranoid schizophrenics.

What can we do?

I would like to, um,
do more hypnotherapy...

and increase his medication.

[Thumping]

[ Rose ] Whatever will
help him, really,

because that's
why we're here.

Wejust would like him
to experience some...

relief.

So if you think that
more medication will do that,

then I think we should
give it a try.

[Beeping, Squawking]

What is it like?

It's complicated.

Yeah.

It's like a force, you kno w, in your
brain tha t just sends you someplace.

Well, do you go
someplace familiar?

No, but-

Actually, each time I keep waking up
farther and farther from my house.

[ Gretchen ]
That's scary.

Donnie Darko.

Is that all the gusto you can muster?
I said, “Good morning!”

Good morning!

Now that's a tiny,
tiny bit better.

But I can still sense
some students out there...

who are actually afraid
to say, “Good morning!”

Good morning!

That's what I like to hear.

Because entirely too many
young men and women today...

are completely paralyzed
by their fears.

They surrender their bodies
to the temptation...

and destruction of drugs,
alcohol and premarital sex.

Now, I'm gonna tell you
a little story today.

It's a heartbreakingly
sad story...

about a young man...

whose life was
completely destroyed...

by these instruments
of fear.

A young man...

searching for love
in all the wrong places.

His name was Frank.

I'm moving through time.

- I some t/nves worry that she
eats too much. - Shut up, Kim!

I'm just trying to help you. S
wee th ear?- Sweetheart please.

There's absolutely no reason
to be embarrassed here.

Many times we eat because...

we are afraid to face our
ego reflection, all right?

We find ourselves
looking at the mirror...

rather than looking into
and through the mirror.

When we do that,
we can finally see...

the reality of
how beautiful we are.

- Thanks.
- Sure. Come on up here.

Don't be afraid.

Hi. Uh, how can I find out what
I want to be when I grow up?

Oh, that's a hard one. Well,
what I need you to do...

is look deep inside of yourself,
deep within your heart...

and find what it is
in the world...

that makes you feel love-
pure, unconditional love-

and go to that.

In your studies,
in your athletics,

in your relationships,
go towards love.

Thank you.
Come on up.

if you are, that was some of
the worst advice I ever heard.

[Jim] Do you see
how sad this is?

You want your sister to lose weight?
Tell her to get off the couch,

stop eating Twinkies and maybe
go out for field hockey.

You know what? No one ever knows what
they want to be when they grow up.

It takes a little while to find that out.
Right, jim?

And you.
Yeah, you.

Son, it breaks my heart
to say this,

but I believe you are a very
troubled and confused young man.

I believe you are searching for the
answers in all the wrong places.

You're right, actually. I am
pretty- I'm pretty troubled...

and I'm pretty confused,
but I-

And I'm afraid. Really, really afraid.
Really afraid.

But I-I think you're

And there are chapters in that book that
describe the stuff I've been seeing,

and it can't just be
a coincidence.

Donnie, look.

[ Frank's Voice]
Send hera letter.

[ Dr. Monnitoff] Well, each
vessel travels along a vector...

through space-time
along its center of gravity.

Like a spear.

I beg your pardon? Like a spear
that comes out of your chest.

Urn, sure. Yeah.

And in order for the vessel
to travel through time,

it's got to find a portal,
or in this case a wormhole-

Well, could
these portals, um-

Could these portals just
appear, uh, anywhere, anytime?

I think that's highly unlikely.

No, I think what you're talking
about is, um, an act of God.

If God controls time, then
all time is pre-decided.

I'm not following you. Every living
thing follows along a set path.

And if you could see
your path or channel,

then you could see
into the future, right?

Like, uh-
it's a form of time travel.

Well, you're-you're
contradicting yourself, Donnie.

If we were able to see our destinies
manifest themselves visually,

then we would be given a choice
to betray our chosen destinies.

And the mere fact
that this choice exists...

would make all preformed
destiny, uh, come to an end.

Not if you travel
within God's channel.

Um, I'm not going to be able
to continue this conversation.

Why?
I could lose my job.

Okay.

pleasure to deny you...

the right to read one of the great
writers of the 20th century.

But, alas, I have not yet been
elected queen of the universe,

so I must obey the rules,
and so will you.

So, anyone seen in this
school reading this book...

will be suspended.

But not to worry. Someone has already
preordered a dozen copies...

at the Sarasota Mall bookstore.

In Mr. Greene's absence,

we will now be reading

Waters/up Down

Here, Donnie. Be sure
to pass these back.

Maybe you and Frank can
read this one together.

[ Frank's Voice]
Now you know where he lives.

[ Dr. Thurman ] Ana' they grow
out of our ch est- Solar plexus?

just like she described
in the book.

The way they moved and
they smelled- it's like-

like they're workers...

assigned to each one of us.

They just-
They're like liquid.

You know, I-I followed it...

into my parents' bedroom.

What did you find?

Nothing.

So we call them I.M.G.'s.
Infant memory generators.

Yeah, so the idea is that you buy
these glasses for your infant,

and they wear them
at night when they sleep.

[ Gretchen ] But inside the glasses
are these slide photographs,

and each photograph 119 of
something peaceful or beautiful.

Whatever the parents
want to put inside.

And what effect do you think that
this would have on an infant?

Well, the thing is, nobody
remembers their infancy.

Anyone who says they do
is lying.

So we think this will help
develop memory earlier in life.

Yeah.

Did you stop and think that
maybe infants need darkness?

That maybe darkness is part
of their natural development?

[ Gretchen ] No. Mm-mmm.

- [Snapping Fingers]
-Yeah.

What if the parents, like,
put in pictures of Satan?

Or, like, dead people?

I flooded my school,

and I burned down
that pervert's house.

[Laughing]

I only have a few days left
before they catch me.

Did Frank tell you
to do these things?

I have to obey him.
He saved my life.

I have to obey him,
or I'll be left all alone.

And then-

And then I w0n't be able to figure
out what this is all about.

I won't be able
to know his master plan.

Do you mean
God? master plan?

Do you now believe in God?

I have the power
to build a time machine.

How is that possible?

How is time travel possible?

Donn/é?
Time's up, Frank said.

When is this going to happen?

S-S-Soon.
[Sobbing]

Soon.

What is going
to happen?

Frank is gonna kill.

Who is he going
to kill?

Who is he going to kill, Donnie?
I can see him right now!

The sky is gonna open up.

If the sky were
to suddenly open up,

there would be no law,
there would be no rule.

There would only be
you and your memories-

the choices you've made...

and the people
you've touched.

If this world
were to end,

there would only be
you and him...

and no one else.

[Sobbing]

You can stop taking
your medication.

They're placebos. just
pills made out of water.

Thank you.

Donnie.

An atheist is someone who denies
altogether the existence of God.

You're an agnostic.

An agnostic is someone...

who believes that there can be no
proof of the existence of God,

but does not deny
a possibility...

that God exists.

Good-bye,
Dr. Thurman.

“Sometimes I'm afraid
