...PLUMBER...

minor corrections & synchro**stemil99

- I'm in the middle.
- How's that?

Good.

- Who's the Negro?
- I told you. Some kind of sorcerer.

Him?

When was that night?

- When you went to Bouganville.
- Tell me.

He came into my tent.

He sat across the street,
he started singing and screaming.

- Weren't you afraid?
- Sure you were.

I was all alone,
somewhere in the mountains of New Guinea.

But he was in a trance.
I knew I couldn't move.

He was upset by the slightest movement.

- It lasted a few hours?
- Until dawn.

Something incredible.

He was in a terrible frenzy;
I had to do something.

I picked up a bowl of goat's milk,
I held her over my head and...

...I punched it in his face.

- What about him?
- It was terrible.

He cried like a child.

- Good!
- Really?

Why didn't you write about it?

Could be a bestseller.

If Medavoy calls, first
I went to the lab.

Brian?

You forgot your keys again?

A plumber.

- I think you've got the wrong apartment.
- It's 15C.

We didn't call the plumber.

It's a routine check.
I'm with the administration.

- From the university.
- I understand.

- They didn't call?
- No.

As usual! Excuse me,
but we need to check all the pipes.

- Please come in.
- Sure, baby.

- What broke down?
- Bathroom.

- The bathroom is...
...behind the bedroom. I know this building.

I call him Titanic.
The worst plumber on campus.

A real museum.

The pressure.

- It's impossible to do otherwise.
- How long will it take?

About half an hour.

- What, did you want to take a shower?
- No.

If you have to...

Sure you do.

I'd better get to it. When we're done.
talk, I'll never finish the job.

I'll leave you to it.

Such a vitamin C deficiency is
common in the mountains of New Guinea.

This is primarily the result
a move away from traditional food

in favour of processed food.

We're trying to convince the locals
shopkeepers to bring in

unprocessed food
instead of industrial,

which we, Western civilizations,
we impose on them.

It's from Geneva.

Will you replace me?

I'm going to go ahead
Dr. Cowper's lecture.

Honey, it's me.

I'm sorry.

I got a telex from Geneva.

We'll have experts here tomorrow
from the World Health Organization.

What?

Apparently, they got a command,
to look at my research.

We have a plumber here. He's checking the pipes.

I didn't call anybody.

He's taking a shower.

A shower?!

I don't know for sure, but if?

Paranoia!

You know what? Turn on the cold water in the kitchen,
it'll burn.

- How about that?
- How about a plumber?

To visit!
Dr. Japari is with them.

It's the best nutrition spec
in the world.

We could go away for a few years
to Geneva.

I gotta go.

But what about...

I wanted to ask you...

You have a problem. They should shoot
of whoever wore these pipes.

It's a miracle you haven't been flooded yet.

- But what is it?
- The pipes are fucked up.

Really?

You won't understand anyway.
technical details.

The pipes are too narrow.
This is the last floor.

Over your head you have
almost 20,000 litres of water.

High pressure.
Part of the system must be replaced.

- How long will this take?
- Four or five hours.

I can't do it today. Can I do it tomorrow?
You better get it over with as soon as possible.

Of course.

I didn't know something was wrong.

In hydraulics, this is important,
that you can't see.

I am responsible for the installation
in this building.

If something goes wrong,
I'll get my ass kicked.

- What is it?
- I'm doing a degree in anthropology.

Well, I'm responsible.

You come and go,
but I don't.

I'll come first thing in the morning. Hi, Jilly.

- How did you get in?
- The door was open.

- You scared me!
- I apologized. You didn't hear...

- I think they brought you shopping.
- Thank you, but my husband...

- They're heavy!
- My husband will carry them.

Take it easy.

- You're nervous.
- You scared me.

You're gonna be fine with me, too.
I almost turned around!

I'm on my way.

- Don't you live here long?
- Three months.

- From Melbourne?
- Yes.

I hate Melbourne.

I don't like Adelaide.

It's okay.
I was born in Melbourne.

Really?

What school did you graduate from?

Claremont.

France-elegance.

Thank you for shopping.

Okay, just a little bit. See you tomorrow.

And by the way, I'm Max.

What is it?

It was filmed a few years ago
among the Fore tribe.

Oh, man.

Look at the symptoms. Cerebral seizure,
spasticity and finally madness.

The disease is caused by a virus,
present in the brains of the dead ancestors.

They ate the brains of the dead,
to gain their knowledge.

But the hell it's gone.

Are you sure? Look.

That's not a whore!

I saw this movie
at a conference in Manila.

Sanders illustrated his lecture with it.

I think he's a whore.

Ritual cannibalism no longer exists!

These are symptoms of vitamin deficiency.
A coincidence.

I'll examine it.
I asked for blood and tissue samples.

It's a waste of time.

You'll do me for tomorrow
to increase the number of victims?

You know that Japari's doing it?

He had a publication about it:

"The effects of modern diets
in the Central Mountains."

You better not mention it tomorrow.

It's just a hunch.

Really?

So what happens to the pipes?

They say we're in danger of being flooded.
That sounded pretty serious.

- He didn't take a shower, did he?
- I really don't know.

- You think I'm hysterical?
- You're tense.

You would, too,
if you'd sit at home with him.

You can take a job at Henry's.

I don't want to. After five years.
I can finally stay home.

- I have things to do. I'm writing my thesis.
- I'm not saying you're bored.

You said it yourself,
that you're tired of marrying a scientist,

return to an empty apartment
and eating canned sardines.

Upon arrival in Adelaide
you said you wanted to have

a real house,
maybe even children.

And now this Geneva!

You weren't upset by the plumber,
just my phone.

You know what they say about Geneva.

No. What?

That he's testing his marriage.

It's up to us.

It's ready.

A lot of work?

I'm leaving you a surprise.

Wish me luck.

Don't be nervous.
If they don't take you, it's their loss.

- What is it?
- Bye.

I couldn't find the cuckoo clock.

Good morning.

Can you take this to the elevator?

I'll take it to the bathroom.

Is it a match?

- You need so much equipment?
- There are a few things we can't do without.

Put it here?

- Birthday?
- No.

May I?

It cost a little.

- What was that, you said, an opportunity?
- I didn't.

Okay.

Can I make myself some tea?

I'll do you.

- I don't want to disturb you.
- No problem.

- Coffee beans! You grind it yourself?
- Sometimes.

I love fresh coffee.

Can it make it?

I don't mind.

The guy's bragging a little bit?

It's a symbol of fertility
from the mountains of New Guinea.

Wonders like that cost a lot,
No?

- We got most of it from the natives.
- What were you doing there?

My husband took part
in the UNICEF health programme.

He was on a scholarship?

Not exactly.

Nice of you to make me coffee.

- Okay, just a little bit.
- No, it's not.

Some people treat a man
like a bug.

Sometimes they have signs on the gate
"Entrance for workers."

And what about
of discrimination against blacks.

Still allowed to sell
those plates in the shops.

Nobody thinks so anymore.

You'd be surprised.

I have to get back to work.

- I get it.
- That's not what I meant.

I'll give it to you this time.

- I'm really sorry!
- It must be just a scratch.

You're bleeding. I'll get you something.

Where am I?

- It's an old leg wound.
- I'll get it fixed.

Don't touch it.
I may have a concussion.

Leave me alone for a minute;
I'll be fine.

- I'll get the slice.
- Good idea.

Did you order the weather?

Gentlemen, this is Professor Cato,
Director of the Medical Research Institute.

This is Dr. Japari.

Dr. Matu.

And Dr. Felder.

Would you like a cup of tea?
Come with me.

Did you take a second breakfast?

- I don't eat much.
- Are you sure?

I wouldn't insult a sandwich,
if you can.

Of course.

No sausage. I don't eat meat.

Husband's hair falls out?

I saw a bottle of liquid
against alopecia.

- They're thinning out a little.
- I've got a nice thatch.

They say it depends on hormones.

I repeat, Brian,
so he doesn't worry.

Eggheads often go bald.

The local sewage pipes
are clogged with hair. Gross!

I'm not really a plumber,
just a folk singer.

- A singer?
- What's funny about that?

Nothing. I'm just surprised.

- Are you going to sing professionally?
- If I put aside a few pennies.

To be honest, I've already failed to make a name for myself.

I had suggestions,
but I won't compromise.

- You know Martin Flattery?
- No.

- J.P. Benson?
- Unfortunately.

They're famous managers. Quite famous.
They liked my pieces.

But they want to make me commercial.
And I'm a poet.

Rebellion, Bob Dylan, etc.
I just don't want to.

- Dylan's doing well.
- The kids don't listen to the lyrics.

Such as Dylan and Jagger
helped many people,

...who don't give a shit about normal people;

to people put in jail,
because they didn't match the rest.

Kids,
locked in stinking cages.

How did they help
to people in jail?

They told them how fucked up
is society. Thanks to the texts.

You were in jail?

Yes.

For what?

For rape.

Really?

I'm just kidding. I was kidding.

About prison or rape?

Rape.

So, what were you convicted of?

- You ask a lot of questions.
- If you don't want to talk about it...

I was a burglar.

I was going home
through the window from the bathroom.

I always had my tools with me,

If somebody had caught me, I could have
to say I'm a plumber.

It was a long time ago, back in Melbourne.

I was a lost kid.
I was taking acid. You tried acid?

- Just once weed.
- Kidding.

Acid is a shit.

It's all behind me.
Anyway, I only robbed the rich.

Vampires,
sucking blood from working people.

If I could, I would crush them
like worms. No wonder.

We had rules in Melbourne.

And in Adelaide the scum
it's the capitalists themselves.

How's work going?

I mean, when will you get rid of me?

- I'll get it.
- No, I'll get it.

Come in, Meg.

- It's Max; he's fixing our pipes.
- You see.

- This is Meg, our neighbor.
- How do you do?

- Coffee?
- We're late.

- Are you going out?
- Yes, but...

Don't worry about me.
I'll be finished in 20 minutes. I'll leave by myself.

Don't worry.

I'll get my things.

You know what? It's here.

What?

Mercedes. They finally got it.
With the strikes in Melbourne...

- We're going comfortable today.
- Yeah?

But they scratched one side of me in the port.
It's definitely on purpose.

- Thank you for saving us from flooding.
- It's my job.

Hi, Meg.

On your way out, please slam the door.

Sorry to bother you.
It happens sometimes.

- What's going on?
- You won't believe it!

Feel it.

The Cosmos.

The air.

I am.

The Cosmos.

Trees.

There is no pain or fear.

I am me.

One.

Thank you. Time for juice. Please return
of rented tricycles.

Fantastic session.
Pineapple is brilliant.

I can't clear my mind.

I've seen that plumber all the time.

- He was joining you?
- No.

I was reminded,
when I let him in yesterday,

because he said,
he's a plumber.

- It's weird to let a stranger into your house.
- A man.

You open the door,
and there's fear in your head.

- Before the rape?
- Yeah.

But admit it: all day long
you have a guy with a roe in your house.

It's exciting.

So that you can see the guests who
they were taking care of my pool in Sydney.

Still undressed to the waist...

Of course I treated them
with a distance.

They thought I was quite a bitch.

Thank you, ladies.
The next group is waiting.

I told you about Shelley?
She's a great girl.

He lives in a big house in Unley Park.

Once upon a time to her door
the old lady knocked

and he asks,
or he can use the bathroom.

Shelley felt sorry for her,
so she took grandma.

It's a quarter of an hour and she's not coming out.
Shelley's calling. Nobody answers.

So he goes into the bathroom...

and there, on the edge of the tub,
there's a guy!

Pigeon.

And the old lady's disguise
is lying next door on the floor.

This is terrible!

I'll come back in a taxi.

I'm sorry. Good morning.

Is that you, Jilly?
I heard someone coming in.

Then you have a problem!

- That's part of Leichardt's story?
- No, it's just intuition.

Autochthons are very afraid of the hen.
They wouldn't go back to cannibalism.

They are also afraid
birth control programs.

I don't see the connection.

In some areas drastically
the birth rate has decreased.

Elder tribe
were against contraception.

- Maybe they're trying to counteract it.
- How?

In New Guinea, I heard
about a new fertility ritual,

involving the eating of testicles
of fallen warriors.

It's a rite, not cannibalism.
Maybe the chicken's back.

This would explain the lack of effect
from a nutritional point of view.

That's very interesting,
but the purpose of our visit

is to take a look
your research work.

Of course.

- Dr. Cowper's phone call.
- I told you I'm busy.

My wife is on the phone.

I'm sorry.

- I asked you not to bother me.
- She had an upset voice.

This is no time for calls.

I can't think now
about some plumbers!

Then go down to Meg.

I'll be back late.

What's wrong with you?

What's going on here?

- He was supposed to finish today.
- He's gotta get out of here.

It would be good to know what he's doing.

- Did you hear that?
- I heard you.

He's killing me.
He was here all day; he just left.

He has something to do.

But he's a thugs and a pervert.
He was watching me dress up.

I'll get rid of him.

And he's a thief.
He was in jail.

So that you can see,
the way he looked at my watch.

Oh, honey...

- You didn't have to buy it.
- Probably not.

It must have cost a fortune.

I had high hopes.
After today, I don't know.

Did you do badly?

The plumber is weird?
And they think I'm weird.

I'm hungry.
Should I open the sardines?

I'm sorry.
I didn't have the strength to do anything.

Unfortunately,
we have to have dinner with them tomorrow night.

In a restaurant?

- Japari wants to try your curry.
- Oh, no!

It interests him more
than my research.

Goddamn plumber!

You think I'm behaving
like a neurotic.

No, you didn't.

I'll call the administration tomorrow.

Anna, call the administration and
connect me to the plumber's superior.

- Whose?
- The plumbers - the ones from the pipes.

Japari wants to see
all the pictures.

- I took care of it.
- You worked after hours?

So did Japari.

And Felder.

- What time did you finish?
- Around two.

- Did they say anything?
- Not much.

I don't think the Yankee's too happy.
And the Japs, I don't know.

They booked an earlier flight
to Geneva.

- No one's answering in the administration.
- Whatever. Get the programs ready.

- What about it?
- For trash.

Good morning.

You didn't hear the knock, so
I used the workers' entrance.

I try the guitar in every bathroom.

Dr. Cowper, please.
This is the wife.

Have him call you back when he gets back.

Hi, Meg. You want to come over for dinner?

Yes, here. Dinner's over,
but I'm prepared.

Whisper?

No, nothing fancy. Sandwiches and wine.

Great. At noon?

I'll see you then.
If you want, come by early.

- What are you doing?
- Nothing.

You were nice to me yesterday;
I want to make up for it.

Herbal tea and homemade biscuits.

- I'm not...
- Go ahead. Try it.

It's good, right? Mostly hash.

You're wonderful!

You'd believe anything.

- Sorry, I'm trying to work.
- I'm not stopping.

I upset you yesterday;
I wanted to make up for it somehow.

You're a decent person.

You're a little neurotic.
Too much imagination.

A lot of housewives go crazy.

Out of boredom.

It's a simple man's opinion.
I have no education.

But you learn this and that.

I never liked
intellectual gibberish.

People think I'm an idiot.

And I have a photographic memory.

And I'm strong in crosswords.

In the intelligence test
I'd blow up more than one.

The question of intelligence:
how high is the Cheops Pyramid?

You give up?

143 meters!

- I caught you, huh?
- Yeah.

Okay.

As an educated woman, you probably
she noticed that I don't speak well.

- I didn't notice.
- You don't have to be polite. You noticed.

I'm embarrassed to be in scholarly company.
I don't know about grammar.

- It doesn't matter.
- It's important to me.

There was no
English courses?

I wasn't in jail.

- Yesterday you said...
- I said I wasn't sitting.

Too vivid an imagination.

- How good of you to come!
- What a welcome!

Like my new pants?
They cost a fortune.

Good morning. Was there any trouble?

Not at all. Max saved my life this morning.
The car wouldn't smoke.

Be careful not to flood the engine
- Especially in the morning.

- Wine?
- Please.

How's work going?

Jilly is great.
She endures all the inconveniences.

- What actually happened?
- Ask him.

I won't bore you
with technical details.

Tough job. It happened,
that they lasted for weeks like this.

They did the bathroom at the Hannans' for six months.
But it was worth it.

It's amazing - the bathtub is let in
the floor, golden cocks; like in the movies.

- Where do they live?
- In Springfield. On Tuskin Avenue.

On the corner?

Halfway down the street.
I think it's number sixteen.

I've seen some
amazing bathrooms.

I'm sure you do.

- Bathroom says a lot about a man.
- Like tea grounds.

- Something like that.
- How about Brian and Jill?

Jill's a good girl,
and her old man is balding.

Great!
Giovanni wasn't that funny.

- What happened to him?
- Who's Giovanni?

He was a local plumber.
At least that's what he told me.

I don't know what's wrong with him.
I'm not FBI.

Cheese?

The most amazing bathroom
that I was doing in the government building.

"I did."

- What?

"I did," not "that I did."

Sure.

Right.

In the government building?
You're rubbing off on the higher ground.

I have to get back to work.

I was doing the bathroom...

- He's really cute.
- He's more like a smart guy.

I'm me, not you.
I'm me, baby.

I'm me. I'm free.

- More coffee?
- I've already had two.

I've been drinking all week
herbal tea, I feel great.

I have to go. Good luck tonight.

Never mind. See you tomorrow.

I wrote a song for you.
You hear what I'm saying?

I wrote a song, and in it,
where the truth is.

Wherever she is,
You're not there!

What's that banging?
What do you want?

- Is there a janitor?
- There is no janitor. Who's asking?

My name is Cowper.
I need to talk to him.

He's not here.

I mean the plumber. He says,
that we have faulty pipes. I don't believe him.

He was in jail,
and now he sings in our bathroom.

What are you talking about?

Is he really a plumber?
He says he works for the university.

Maxie, this lady is testing you.
And rightly so. Please don't believe him.

It's hyperactive
and paid too much.

Wait a minute! We need to talk!

You're amazing.
You wanted to report me.

- I don't know what you've done to yourself.
- I know what you want to do.

- I know what you're doing too.
- You get out of my apartment.

These apartments belong to the taxpayers!
This is as much my building as yours.

You think the world belongs to you?

I know my rights and no eggheads
...will not take my job away from me!

Listen, I'm just doing my job!
I'm a plumber!

People say it's a prison block.

They think it's too expensive
we cost the state budget.

Please.

Hello.

This is...

Dr Don Felder.

Johnny Matu.

And Willis Japari.

How do you do?
I hear your curry is delightful.

Brian thinks so,
but I've never cooked for...

Come on in. Make yourselves comfortable.

Something to drink?
I have an excellent Claret Don.

Perfect.

You better look in the bathroom.

I have something for you.

Thank you. Beautiful!

- It's called real curry.
- A little too sharp.

- Not at all.
- Can I have some water?

Please.

Exactly?

- There's ice cream for dessert.
- Very logical.

I don't eat ice cream.

Dr. Matu for three years
he was investigating the composition of the ice cream.

The results were terrifying.
They consist mainly of plastic.

- Were you on an ice scholarship?
- Please?

Scientists are boring.

I'm sure I will.
I need to use the bathroom.

From the bathroom?

- If it's not a problem.
- Not at all. It's just a mess.

I saw the toilets in Calcutta.
Nothing can move me anymore.

We have a breakdown.

It's a real maze.

I'll take you there.

Do you ski in Switzerland?

My wife is driving.
I'm working. She's shitting.

I ride in America, in Colorado.

Who do you want to add wine?

Doctor! Are you okay?

Nothing. My leg's stuck.

- Are you leaning against the door?
- What?

- This is Don Felder! Where are you?
- Under the sink.

You have to break down the door.

Can you help us?
We'll work together. Ready?

He's locked himself in.

- You have to break the hinge with something.
- Good idea.

We're gonna get you out!

Higher, in the hinge!

Jilly, bring the brandy!

I'm so sorry.

It's okay. You got yourself a tumor.
Are you okay?

I'm terribly sorry.
I don't know how it happened.

Last year, we founded
in central Java, eight thousand

intrauterine spiral.

Only that the population there
is 20 million.

Not all at once.

He always says things like that.
Do you believe him?

Geneva will not accept
your view of the whore.

What was that gibberish?

I thought, "We've got some crazy people here.
You're brave.

- I wanted to make an impression.
- And you did.

- Do you really believe that?
- They don't like new ideas in Geneva?

They like it, but you have to compromise.
Otherwise, you can make enemies.

Geneva is like a bathroom:
it's easy to get stuck.

Don't worry about Geneva.
Dr. Matu is unlikely to support me.

He's watching us.

He'll show up as soon as you get out.
He knew the scaffold would collapse.

Stop it! You're obsessed
on that plumber!

- You don't believe me!
- That's not the point!

I got nervous last night.
He could have killed someone.

- I'll get rid of him.
- You can't get rid of him.

He's not some monster.

Paradoxically...

if it weren't for that scaffolding,
dinner would be a total disaster.

Is that all you care about?!

It's time for me.
I have to say goodbye to them at the airport.

Sit down at Meg's.

I won't get thrown out of my own house.

He leaned against the scaffold;
he asked for it himself.

Is it the asphalt or an Indian?

We'll make a truce?

Your husband will call about you
to the administration.

- Really?
- Please leave right away.

Before they take me out?
They're not gonna take me out of here by force!

Please don't threaten me.

Jesus, you'll never give up!
I haven't poured that kind of grandmother yet.

Get your dirty hands off me.

You're a criminal
and I'll tell them about it!

You ugly, ugly bug!

I'm gonna get this thing out of the way.
I'm not here in three hours.

Switzerland! We did it!

What are you talking about?

About Geneva.
They told me at the airport.

- What happened?
- Last night!

The bathroom's falling apart and the cognac.

I'm taking you out to dinner.

Do you hear me?

Switzerland!

I've been feeling all week,
that I'm going crazy.

Even with you
I couldn't talk.

First time.

I know, it's that Switzerland...
I must have been selfish.

I'm sorry.

If you saw that plumber...

I saw it. In the morning in the parking lot.

- We talked.
- You didn't tell me anything.

Now I say.

A jerk, but nice. He said,
that he saved us from being flooded.

Actually, he played. He's an actor,
harmless, though eccentric.

He made me laugh.

He kept repeating,
how wonderful you are.

"From the windows of every room
you can see the snow-covered peaks of the Alps,

and the evening boat ride
on a lit lake

breathtaking
and leaves memories indelible."

- You're lucky!
- Yes. The renovation is complete.

John is taking next year
study leave.

- We could come by your place.
- That would be great.

Maybe then you'll have
little Cowpers!

- Call a plumber!
- Not the plumber!

Any trouble?

My poor thing!

Let's go somewhere.

I'll go get changed.
Be in the parking lot in five minutes.

We're seeing each other again.

How long will it take?

A week, 10 days, maybe more...
It's a tedious job.

We have to get used to each other.

Hi, honey.

I'll be right back.

What a mess! Is it starting again?

I called the administration.

It's supposed to be the same thing
in other apartments.

My poor thing. I'm so sorry.

Let's have dinner.

Like a thunderstorm from the blue sky!

- We can leave for a few weeks.
- You have a job.

- You're fantastic.
- No.

You are.

When you called him back
plumber, I couldn't believe it.

Let's not talk about it.

Okay.

To Switzerland!

Where's your watch?
Don't you like wearing it?

I couldn't find him.
I always leave it on the dressing table.

He must be somewhere.
Maybe you left it with Meg.

- I didn't put it in today.
- He must be home.

He's gone.

Just like that? Strange approach.

You're sitting dressed up
and you tell me you lost your watch!

I said he disappeared.
That's all.

You have to look for him.
Do you have any idea what it cost?

Maybe you left it on the drainer.
- You could've taken it off before the washing-up.

Jill, what's going on?

Or he's in the bedroom.
Did you check the bag and the box?

I looked for an hour.
I put it on the dressing table.

It cost $470!

Did you ask Meg?
Maybe she tried it on?

- She was helping me look.
- She must be somewhere.

Maybe he got tangled up in the bedding.
or under the seat cushion.

I checked everywhere.

You asked the plumber?

- He left.
- Just then?

There's something else...

I had $50 in my purse.

They're gone too.

What do you mean, Furney?

Son, I'm asking questions here.
You worry about yourself.

What are you doing? I have rights!

You mustn't!

Look at this.

This is the watch.

You set me up! You bloody bitch!

Bitch!

Help!
