1
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,620
How did we end up here?

2
00:02:14,583 --> 00:02:16,593
This place is horrible.

3
00:02:22,425 --> 00:02:24,385
Smells like balls.

4
00:02:30,433 --> 00:02:33,273
We don't belong
in this shithole.

5
00:02:46,657 --> 00:02:47,867
Shit.

6
00:02:52,246 --> 00:02:53,246
Hey, Sam.

7
00:02:53,456 --> 00:02:55,036
Dad, what kind of— shut up!

8
00:02:55,332 --> 00:02:56,632
What kind of flowers
did you want?

9
00:02:56,917 --> 00:02:59,627
Alchemillas. Or something
that smells nice.

10
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:02,920
- Something soothing.
- It all smells like fucking kimchi!

11
00:03:03,257 --> 00:03:06,047
That looks nice.
Anything but roses.

12
00:03:06,343 --> 00:03:07,933
I hate this job.

13
00:03:29,533 --> 00:03:32,493
Riggan, everyone's set for 1-4.
They're ready for you.

14
00:03:34,497 --> 00:03:36,497
Riggan, they're ready for you.

15
00:04:09,323 --> 00:04:10,703
- Mr. thomson.
- Steve.

16
00:04:11,033 --> 00:04:13,043
- It's Daniel.
- Okay.

17
00:04:15,871 --> 00:04:17,661
Hey, buddy. How you doing?

18
00:04:17,998 --> 00:04:21,498
Pretty good. Yeah, I'd be a
lot better if I could get...

19
00:04:21,585 --> 00:04:23,585
Ralph to stop,
you know, acting.

20
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:25,009
He'll be fine.

21
00:04:25,297 --> 00:04:27,758
And he was yelling, "I
love you, I love you,

22
00:04:27,770 --> 00:04:30,297
bitch!" What do you do
with a love like that?

23
00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:34,099
That's not love and you know it. Why
do you insist on calling it love?

24
00:04:34,473 --> 00:04:37,143
Say what you want, but
I know what it was.

25
00:04:37,476 --> 00:04:39,846
What about you, Nick? Does
that sound like love?

26
00:04:40,146 --> 00:04:41,936
Sorry I'm late.
Sound like love...

27
00:04:42,273 --> 00:04:46,653
Look, I'm the wrong person to ask. I only
heard the man's name mentioned in passing.

28
00:04:46,944 --> 00:04:48,744
I wouldn't know. You'd have
to know the particulars.

29
00:04:48,863 --> 00:04:51,573
I think you're saying
love is absolute.

30
00:04:51,741 --> 00:04:54,161
Yeah. The kind of love
I'm talking about is...

31
00:04:54,493 --> 00:04:57,253
The kind of love I'm talking about,
you don't try and kill people.

32
00:04:57,538 --> 00:05:01,038
It was love, Mel. To Eddie, it was.
I don't care what anyone says.

33
00:05:01,125 --> 00:05:02,335
He was ready to die for it.

34
00:05:02,668 --> 00:05:05,128
Ask her what he did
after she left him.

35
00:05:05,546 --> 00:05:09,046
He shot himself in the mouth, but
he screwed that up, too. Poor ed.

36
00:05:09,341 --> 00:05:12,141
Poor ed, my ass! The
guy was dangerous!

37
00:05:12,470 --> 00:05:14,640
How did he screw up shooting
himself in the mouth?

38
00:05:14,972 --> 00:05:17,562
He used to carry this.22. We
lived like fugitives then.

39
00:05:17,975 --> 00:05:19,385
Ralph, Ralph, Ralph.

40
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,610
Fugitives are scared, you know?
Fugitives are on the run.

41
00:05:24,774 --> 00:05:27,194
Can you give me more of that?
You know, fear?

42
00:05:27,526 --> 00:05:28,686
Great idea.

43
00:05:29,612 --> 00:05:31,412
We lived like fugitives then.

44
00:05:31,572 --> 00:05:34,242
I never knew if he was going to
come out from behind a bush,

45
00:05:34,367 --> 00:05:35,987
or a car, and just
start shooting.

46
00:05:36,327 --> 00:05:39,497
The man was crazy! He was
capable of anything!

47
00:05:39,663 --> 00:05:41,503
Christ, what a nightmare.

48
00:05:41,540 --> 00:05:43,580
He'd call me at the
hospital and say:

49
00:05:43,751 --> 00:05:47,591
"Son of a bitch, your
days are numbered!"

50
00:05:49,548 --> 00:05:51,718
Too much? It's a
little bit too much.

51
00:05:51,801 --> 00:05:54,391
I can tell, because you— I
just want to give you a range.

52
00:05:56,138 --> 00:05:57,638
Call 911!

53
00:05:57,807 --> 00:05:59,217
Is he breathing?

54
00:05:59,558 --> 00:06:01,558
Is blood coming out of his ear?

55
00:06:01,602 --> 00:06:02,602
Where are you going?

56
00:06:02,937 --> 00:06:06,357
- Did someone call 911?
- Do not move him! Wait for an ambulance!

57
00:06:06,649 --> 00:06:08,439
Well, that's a fucking lawsuit.

58
00:06:08,776 --> 00:06:10,776
Where are you going? The
understudy'll be here.

59
00:06:10,820 --> 00:06:13,030
Forget the understudy.
Cancel the first preview.

60
00:06:13,364 --> 00:06:15,797
- But it's a full house!
We'd have to refund—

61
00:06:15,809 --> 00:06:16,624
- just do it.

62
00:06:17,451 --> 00:06:18,661
- How's Ralph?
- He'll be fine.

63
00:06:18,744 --> 00:06:20,544
Wait. Will you fucking wait?

64
00:06:20,579 --> 00:06:23,999
Jake, it would have been a disaster. That
guy's the worst actor I've ever seen.

65
00:06:24,417 --> 00:06:26,417
Bleeding's the most honest
thing he's done so far.

66
00:06:26,752 --> 00:06:28,752
He's not that bad!

67
00:06:30,005 --> 00:06:31,585
Okay, he's fucking terrible.

68
00:06:32,007 --> 00:06:35,217
You have the press in your
dressing room in a few hours.

69
00:06:35,553 --> 00:06:38,683
I'll make something up. I'll think
of something, riff. Hold on.

70
00:06:40,683 --> 00:06:42,683
That wasn't an accident.

71
00:06:44,562 --> 00:06:45,772
What do you mean?

72
00:06:45,855 --> 00:06:47,695
I made it happen.

73
00:06:47,857 --> 00:06:49,267
Oh, okay.

74
00:06:49,692 --> 00:06:50,862
Are you drunk?

75
00:06:51,277 --> 00:06:54,487
Just find me an actor—a good actor.
Woody Harrelson!

76
00:06:54,655 --> 00:06:56,275
He's doing the
next hunger games.

77
00:06:56,574 --> 00:06:57,784
Michael fassbender.

78
00:06:57,867 --> 00:06:59,657
He's doing the prequel
to the X-Men prequel.

79
00:06:59,952 --> 00:07:01,912
- How about Jeremy renner?
- Who?

80
00:07:02,246 --> 00:07:06,246
Jeremy renner! He was nominated.
The hurt locker guy.

81
00:07:06,542 --> 00:07:07,832
He's an avenger.

82
00:07:08,127 --> 00:07:11,917
Fuck! They put him in a cape, too?
I don't care.

83
00:07:12,256 --> 00:07:13,626
Just find me someone.

84
00:07:15,051 --> 00:07:18,681
Ralph will sue us. He will
sue us and he has a case.

85
00:07:21,724 --> 00:07:22,894
Just make it go away.

86
00:07:23,309 --> 00:07:27,899
Look, you're my attorney. You're my
producer. You're my best friend.

87
00:07:28,189 --> 00:07:31,609
Now go out there and do
what you were born to do.

88
00:07:31,692 --> 00:07:33,902
How do you suppose I do that?
How—

89
00:07:36,322 --> 00:07:39,742
next, an exclusive interview
with Robert downey, Jr...

90
00:07:39,784 --> 00:07:43,204
who's busy following up his
billion-dollar iron man franchise...

91
00:07:43,496 --> 00:07:47,286
with the equally
successful avengers series.

92
00:07:56,300 --> 00:07:58,680
That clown doesn't have
half your talent...

93
00:07:58,969 --> 00:08:02,969
and he's making a fortune
in that tin man get-up.

94
00:08:04,350 --> 00:08:06,770
We were the real thing, riggan.

95
00:08:08,354 --> 00:08:09,944
We had it all.

96
00:08:10,773 --> 00:08:12,573
We gave it away.

97
00:08:12,733 --> 00:08:14,153
Breathing in.

98
00:08:14,777 --> 00:08:17,567
We handed these poseurs
the keys to the kingdom.

99
00:08:17,863 --> 00:08:18,823
Breathing out.

100
00:08:19,156 --> 00:08:20,776
You listening to me?

101
00:08:21,784 --> 00:08:23,954
Breathing in, I
embrace my anger.

102
00:08:24,370 --> 00:08:26,330
Yeah, embrace it.

103
00:08:26,622 --> 00:08:29,752
But I'm not going away.
You know I'm right.

104
00:08:57,820 --> 00:08:59,400
Look at that.

105
00:09:00,781 --> 00:09:04,201
These people don't know
what you're capable of.

106
00:09:10,374 --> 00:09:15,384
Why would somebody go from playing the
lead in a comic book franchise...

107
00:09:15,796 --> 00:09:19,756
to adapting Raymond
carver for the stage?

108
00:09:20,384 --> 00:09:23,394
As you're probably
aware, barthes said:

109
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,059
"The cultural work done in the
past by gods and epic sagas...

110
00:09:28,434 --> 00:09:32,024
"... is now being done by laundry
detergent commercials...

111
00:09:32,438 --> 00:09:34,858
"... and comic strip characters."

112
00:09:35,316 --> 00:09:37,106
This is a big leap you've taken.

113
00:09:37,443 --> 00:09:40,453
Yeah, it is. Absolutely.
Absolutely.

114
00:09:40,863 --> 00:09:45,242
Like you said... ... that
barthes said...

115
00:09:46,452 --> 00:09:47,662
Birdman, like icarus—

116
00:09:47,995 --> 00:09:51,825
okay, hang on. Who is this barthes guy?
Which birdman was he in?

117
00:09:51,916 --> 00:09:54,432
Roland barthes was a
French philosopher, and

118
00:09:54,444 --> 00:09:56,916
if you knew anything
about the history of—

119
00:09:57,213 --> 00:10:01,223
now is it true you've been injecting
yourself with semen from baby pigs?

120
00:10:01,842 --> 00:10:04,012
- I'm sorry, what?
- As a method of facial rejuvenation?

121
00:10:04,428 --> 00:10:05,548
Where did you read that?

122
00:10:05,888 --> 00:10:08,888
It was tweeted by
@prostatewhispers.

123
00:10:09,058 --> 00:10:11,388
- That's not true.
- I know, but did you do it?

124
00:10:11,685 --> 00:10:13,975
- No, I didn't do it.
- Okay, I'll write you're denying it.

125
00:10:14,271 --> 00:10:17,481
Don't write anything. Why
would you write anything?

126
00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:21,280
Don't write what she said. I
didn't put any baby pig...

127
00:10:21,695 --> 00:10:25,275
Are you at all afraid that people
will say you're doing this play...

128
00:10:25,616 --> 00:10:28,486
to battle the impression
you're a washed-up superhero?

129
00:10:28,828 --> 00:10:30,788
No, absolutely not.
That's why...

130
00:10:30,830 --> 00:10:34,880
twenty years ago, I
said no to birdman 4.

131
00:10:36,043 --> 00:10:38,883
Birdman 4? You do birdman 4?

132
00:10:39,046 --> 00:10:43,466
Thank you for coming out. Thank you.
We're expecting some great pieces.

133
00:10:44,468 --> 00:10:46,848
The guys in publicity...

134
00:10:47,513 --> 00:10:52,103
want a times feature, which
is the worst idea right now.

135
00:10:55,855 --> 00:10:58,025
- What are you doing?
- I don't want to look at this anymore.

136
00:10:58,315 --> 00:11:01,315
That was a present from the crew.
Don't fuck with them—they're union.

137
00:11:01,736 --> 00:11:02,896
I don't care.

138
00:11:03,738 --> 00:11:05,858
- How'd it go?
- Good.

139
00:11:05,906 --> 00:11:09,116
They talk about Ralph? He did it.
The motherfucker did it.

140
00:11:09,452 --> 00:11:11,452
Threatened to sue us.

141
00:11:11,746 --> 00:11:13,076
- What'd you say?
- Me?

142
00:11:13,414 --> 00:11:15,722
I said, "motherfucker,
are you threatening me?

143
00:11:15,734 --> 00:11:18,004
If I so much as get a
letter from a lawyer...

144
00:11:18,294 --> 00:11:20,884
"... the press is getting
pictures off your computer."

145
00:11:21,213 --> 00:11:22,423
What pictures?

146
00:11:22,715 --> 00:11:25,725
He has a thing for
nuns in diapers.

147
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:29,935
Why do you care? Point
is, I made it go away.

148
00:11:30,139 --> 00:11:31,559
That's great.

149
00:11:31,891 --> 00:11:34,141
Yeah, it's fantastic,
except for one thing.

150
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:38,560
We have no actor. And if we cancel the
preview, the press will smell blood.

151
00:11:38,981 --> 00:11:40,941
We can't afford to
lose any more money.

152
00:11:41,275 --> 00:11:42,685
What do you think I should do?

153
00:11:42,985 --> 00:11:45,565
- We hired an understudy. Use him.
- No.

154
00:11:45,905 --> 00:11:48,995
Riggan, listen to me. Please,
for the love of God, listen.

155
00:11:49,158 --> 00:11:51,738
Our perfect dream actor is not going
to knock on that door and go,

156
00:11:51,869 --> 00:11:53,949
"hey, fellas, when do I start?"

157
00:11:55,956 --> 00:11:57,746
- Can I talk to you?
- What's up?

158
00:11:58,084 --> 00:11:59,924
- You find another actor?
- No.

159
00:12:00,878 --> 00:12:02,248
- Mike's available.
- Mike who?

160
00:12:02,546 --> 00:12:05,586
- I thought he was doing the thing—
- he quit. Or got fired.

161
00:12:05,674 --> 00:12:06,684
Mike who?

162
00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:08,759
- Which is it, quit or fired?
- With Mike, it's usually both.

163
00:12:09,095 --> 00:12:10,685
- Mike fucking who?
- Shiner.

164
00:12:11,013 --> 00:12:12,183
- Yes!
- Jake.

165
00:12:12,515 --> 00:12:15,605
- How do you know Mike shiner?
- We share a vagina.

166
00:12:15,935 --> 00:12:16,945
You think he'd do it?

167
00:12:16,977 --> 00:12:18,937
- How do you know?
- He told me.

168
00:12:18,979 --> 00:12:22,399
- Jake.
- Yes. Ask me if he sells tickets.

169
00:12:22,733 --> 00:12:23,882
Does he sell tickets?

170
00:12:23,894 --> 00:12:26,743
A shitload. Ask me if the
theater critics love him.

171
00:12:27,029 --> 00:12:30,619
- Do theater critics love him?
- They want to spooge on him.

172
00:12:31,033 --> 00:12:32,833
- Right on his face.
- Everything for a reason.

173
00:12:32,993 --> 00:12:36,003
- You think he'd come in this evening?
- I'll call and find out.

174
00:12:36,414 --> 00:12:37,834
I'll call his agent.

175
00:12:37,998 --> 00:12:39,418
Amazing, amazing.

176
00:12:48,050 --> 00:12:53,060
Annie? Clear the theater, send everyone
to dinner and give me some lights!

177
00:12:53,347 --> 00:12:55,767
- We've got a put-in tonight.
- Who?

178
00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:57,270
You'll find out.

179
00:13:10,489 --> 00:13:12,069
Intimidating, isn't it?

180
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:17,250
You have any idea the people who have
walked on these boards before you?

181
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,460
Geraldine page. Helen Hayes.

182
00:13:20,875 --> 00:13:24,845
Jason robards. Marlon Brando.
And now riggan thomson.

183
00:13:25,212 --> 00:13:28,012
Thanks for coming in on
such short notice, Mike.

184
00:13:28,424 --> 00:13:31,434
This is what I do. You
wrote this adaptation?

185
00:13:31,761 --> 00:13:32,971
I did, yeah.

186
00:13:33,012 --> 00:13:36,222
And you're directing and starring.
That's ambitious.

187
00:13:36,682 --> 00:13:37,682
Well, thanks.

188
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:40,270
Well, it's a good theater.

189
00:13:41,103 --> 00:13:44,483
I can't speak for your play,
but... Let's do a little bit of it.

190
00:13:44,899 --> 00:13:47,029
Oh, I didn't expect you
to just jump right in.

191
00:13:47,068 --> 00:13:49,698
It's first preview tomorrow night.
Let's get to work.

192
00:13:50,029 --> 00:13:53,819
Well, feel free to take the script
up until you feel comfortable.

193
00:13:54,116 --> 00:13:56,486
No, let's just do some of it.

194
00:13:58,996 --> 00:14:00,156
Take a look at page 20.

195
00:14:00,456 --> 00:14:02,076
I'm good. I don't need it.

196
00:14:02,166 --> 00:14:04,666
- I don't need the script. Give me a cue.
- What?

197
00:14:05,002 --> 00:14:06,592
Feed me a line.

198
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:09,049
- Feed me a line.
- Okay.

199
00:14:09,465 --> 00:14:11,685
Okay, let me think.

200
00:14:14,095 --> 00:14:16,975
I'm the wrong person to ask.
I didn't actually know him.

201
00:14:17,098 --> 00:14:19,138
I only heard his name
mentioned in passing.

202
00:14:19,308 --> 00:14:21,098
You'd have to know
the particulars.

203
00:14:21,227 --> 00:14:24,307
But I think what you're
saying is love is absolute.

204
00:14:25,106 --> 00:14:28,106
Is that what I'm saying? Am
I saying love is absolute?

205
00:14:28,734 --> 00:14:32,114
Yes. Okay, yeah! The kind of love
I'm talking about is absolute.

206
00:14:32,530 --> 00:14:36,120
The kind of love I'm talking about,
you don't try to kill people!

207
00:14:36,450 --> 00:14:38,290
How do you know the lines?

208
00:14:38,744 --> 00:14:41,294
It's a thing I have. I
don't know, it's a gift.

209
00:14:42,707 --> 00:14:45,707
Come on. I've been helping
Lesley get off book for a month.

210
00:14:46,043 --> 00:14:48,303
- These lines are right here.
- That makes sense.

211
00:14:48,713 --> 00:14:50,213
That's good. Give
me my cue again.

212
00:14:50,506 --> 00:14:53,126
I'm the wrong person to ask.
I didn't actually know him.

213
00:14:53,217 --> 00:14:56,137
I only heard his name
mentioned in passing.

214
00:14:56,220 --> 00:14:58,720
You never know the particulars.
I think what—

215
00:14:59,098 --> 00:15:02,558
- can I make a suggestion? Do you mind?
- No, not at all.

216
00:15:02,977 --> 00:15:06,357
No, no, forget that.
Just stay with me.

217
00:15:06,772 --> 00:15:10,362
"I'm the wrong person to ask," he
says, but what's the intention?

218
00:15:10,693 --> 00:15:14,283
Is he fed up with the subject?
Deflecting guilt over the marriage?

219
00:15:14,572 --> 00:15:16,872
And here's the thing— you
have four lines after that

220
00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:19,579
that all say the same thing.
"I didn't know him."

221
00:15:19,994 --> 00:15:23,334
"I only heard his name mentioned
in passing."I wouldn't know."

222
00:15:23,664 --> 00:15:27,254
"You'd have to know the particulars."
"Particulars" sounds like my grandmother.

223
00:15:27,543 --> 00:15:31,133
The point is, you don't know the guy.
We fucking get it.

224
00:15:31,547 --> 00:15:35,177
Make it work with one line. "I
didn't even know the man." Right?

225
00:15:35,342 --> 00:15:38,142
Wait— you know my lines, too?

226
00:15:38,554 --> 00:15:42,984
Can we not get hung up on knowing lines?
Can we just work on this? Tear it apart?

227
00:15:43,350 --> 00:15:47,730
So why don't you just give me that same
thing again, but cut it down. Try it.

228
00:15:48,022 --> 00:15:49,192
I'm the wrong person to ask—

229
00:15:49,523 --> 00:15:53,533
oh, no! That's the thing—"I'm the wrong
person to ask." I think it's, "fuck you."

230
00:15:53,819 --> 00:15:56,239
"Fuck you. Don't put
me on the spot."

231
00:15:56,322 --> 00:16:01,372
"Don't make me feel self-conscious about
my marriage while my wife is sitting..."

232
00:16:01,410 --> 00:16:03,250
- Right there.
- "... Right there."

233
00:16:03,412 --> 00:16:05,792
- Can I sit down for this?
- Yeah, sit. Good idea.

234
00:16:06,207 --> 00:16:09,587
So just give it to me as a
"fuck you." Lay it on me.

235
00:16:10,002 --> 00:16:11,172
Just do it. Give it to me.

236
00:16:11,504 --> 00:16:13,924
- Well, I'm thinking.
- Fuck me hard. Just give it.

237
00:16:14,215 --> 00:16:15,225
Come on! Just do it!

238
00:16:15,299 --> 00:16:19,299
Hey, I'm the wrong person to ask! I don't
even know him. What's your point?

239
00:16:19,595 --> 00:16:22,805
- What's my point?
- Yeah, what are you saying? Spit it out!

240
00:16:23,182 --> 00:16:26,272
You're saying what? You're
saying love is absolute.

241
00:16:26,352 --> 00:16:31,192
Yes! Yes! The kind of love that I'm
talking about, it is absolute!

242
00:16:31,232 --> 00:16:34,282
The kind of love that I'm
talking about, you don't...

243
00:16:35,236 --> 00:16:37,646
you don't try to kill people.

244
00:16:41,283 --> 00:16:42,453
Yeah. Good.

245
00:16:42,868 --> 00:16:47,038
I don't know—what do you think, boss?
You want to do this with me?

246
00:16:47,415 --> 00:16:48,835
What do you think?

247
00:16:49,166 --> 00:16:51,746
Everybody's back. Larry needs
to see him for a fitting.

248
00:16:52,336 --> 00:16:54,246
I'll take that as a yes.

249
00:16:57,216 --> 00:16:58,626
So, who are you?

250
00:16:58,968 --> 00:17:00,428
That's Sam, my daughter.

251
00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:05,220
That's amazing. You don't look anything
like each other. What do you do?

252
00:17:05,683 --> 00:17:07,893
She's my assistant.
Works with me.

253
00:17:11,313 --> 00:17:16,323
She does. Yeah. She can even sit or stay
or roll over, if you have any treats.

254
00:17:16,694 --> 00:17:19,284
- Welcome aboard, Mike!
- Thank you, captain.

255
00:17:21,407 --> 00:17:23,117
I'm Mike... Shiner.

256
00:17:23,451 --> 00:17:24,621
I know who you are.

257
00:17:24,910 --> 00:17:29,250
I saw you in hothouse at the geffen.
You were great.

258
00:17:29,665 --> 00:17:32,075
Thank you. Your ass is great.

259
00:17:32,668 --> 00:17:35,088
Dude. Seriously?

260
00:17:36,088 --> 00:17:37,378
That was just me—

261
00:17:37,673 --> 00:17:39,683
Larry? Larry?

262
00:17:40,301 --> 00:17:42,681
This is the theater, sweetheart.
Don't be so self-conscious.

263
00:17:43,012 --> 00:17:44,102
He's here.

264
00:17:44,472 --> 00:17:47,642
Thank the lord and pass the biscuits.
I finally have an actor to dress.

265
00:17:47,933 --> 00:17:48,912
How are you, Larry?

266
00:17:48,924 --> 00:17:51,353
Better now you're here.
Take off your clothes.

267
00:17:54,356 --> 00:17:55,606
You're just going
to stand there?

268
00:17:55,941 --> 00:17:58,321
This is the theater, honey.
Don't be so self-conscious.

269
00:17:58,611 --> 00:18:02,611
We have to start from scratch
with less than 24 hours.

270
00:18:02,948 --> 00:18:04,368
Here. Try these—

271
00:18:04,533 --> 00:18:06,953
holy shi—! Where are
your underpants?

272
00:18:07,244 --> 00:18:09,454
Under the bed at home, I think.

273
00:18:11,123 --> 00:18:14,333
No. Okay, okay.
Everything's too small.

274
00:18:14,502 --> 00:18:15,922
You're not kidding.

275
00:18:16,337 --> 00:18:20,337
Whoa. That's nice. Forgive him, Larry.
Mike's like my 5-year-old son.

276
00:18:20,383 --> 00:18:21,803
Neither of them has
clean underwear.

277
00:18:22,134 --> 00:18:24,304
Or pubic hair, I imagine.

278
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,160
I can alter the suit,
but we're going to have

279
00:18:27,172 --> 00:18:29,730
to make new trousers and shirts.
And underwear.

280
00:18:30,976 --> 00:18:32,766
- What are you doing?
- Waiting on Larry.

281
00:18:33,062 --> 00:18:34,192
I'm finished!

282
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,650
Then I'm just standing
here with my cock out.

283
00:18:36,982 --> 00:18:40,572
Well, get dressed. Riggan's daughter is
hanging around—she might walk in here.

284
00:18:40,986 --> 00:18:45,986
You haven't seen her. She's always around,
watching everyone, like little miss creepy.

285
00:18:46,409 --> 00:18:48,789
I don't know if drugs fried
her brain or what...

286
00:18:49,078 --> 00:18:52,458
but I don't want her running to her
father saying you showed her your junk.

287
00:18:52,540 --> 00:18:54,540
Then we should ask her to leave.

288
00:18:55,543 --> 00:18:56,963
Oh, God. Really?

289
00:18:57,253 --> 00:18:58,753
- Sammy?
- It's Sam.

290
00:18:59,046 --> 00:19:01,046
Sam... Lesley.

291
00:19:01,549 --> 00:19:02,969
Listen, what I said—

292
00:19:03,259 --> 00:19:06,259
don't worry about it.
He's a handful, huh?

293
00:19:08,597 --> 00:19:11,677
How do you always manage to
find a new way to humiliate me?

294
00:19:12,017 --> 00:19:13,887
To be fair, you make
it really easy.

295
00:19:14,228 --> 00:19:15,398
What was she doing here?

296
00:19:15,688 --> 00:19:17,518
- She brought me down.
- And stayed?

297
00:19:17,606 --> 00:19:20,026
Well, she is a
little... Something.

298
00:19:20,317 --> 00:19:23,237
This is Broadway. And
I'm here, finally.

299
00:19:23,529 --> 00:19:27,119
Now, please, do me a favor, I'm
begging you—don't fuck it up!

300
00:19:27,533 --> 00:19:28,493
Lesley.

301
00:19:30,327 --> 00:19:32,117
Come here. Come here.

302
00:19:34,874 --> 00:19:36,674
Play with my balls.

303
00:19:38,085 --> 00:19:39,495
Don't do it.

304
00:19:39,670 --> 00:19:40,670
Just sign it.

305
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,010
- Listen—
- no, you listen to me!

306
00:19:42,298 --> 00:19:43,298
I can't afford to listen to you.

307
00:19:43,507 --> 00:19:46,087
- I have to go shopping again.
- Just sew something, you old fuck!

308
00:19:46,427 --> 00:19:47,366
Give him whatever he wants!

309
00:19:47,378 --> 00:19:49,007
It's four times what we
paid what's-his-name!

310
00:19:49,346 --> 00:19:50,455
Go into the reserve.

311
00:19:50,467 --> 00:19:53,136
It's gone! We spent it
on fog and fake trees...

312
00:19:53,476 --> 00:19:54,476
It's a dream sequence.

313
00:19:54,518 --> 00:19:57,558
- ... and dancing midgets!
- You can't say "midget" anymore.

314
00:19:57,646 --> 00:19:59,056
The reserve is gone!

315
00:20:02,526 --> 00:20:04,526
You didn't see what I just saw.

316
00:20:08,532 --> 00:20:09,952
He's the actor we've
been waiting for.

317
00:20:10,368 --> 00:20:14,748
Come on. Just get the contract done.
Please, Jake. I'll get the money.

318
00:20:15,706 --> 00:20:17,326
Okay, I'll do it.

319
00:20:18,459 --> 00:20:20,419
Stop smiling. You're
freaking me out.

320
00:20:20,711 --> 00:20:22,131
Sorry. You're right.

321
00:20:23,631 --> 00:20:25,471
Is it true? Shiner?

322
00:20:25,508 --> 00:20:28,138
- Holy shit. When can I meet him?
- He's with Larry now.

323
00:20:28,469 --> 00:20:31,509
- I'm going to Starbucks. Want anything?
- I'm good.

324
00:20:31,555 --> 00:20:34,175
She has a great ass. I
have news for you, too.

325
00:20:34,517 --> 00:20:36,597
Is it good or bad?
'Cause I really—

326
00:20:36,685 --> 00:20:38,685
I missed my last two periods.

327
00:20:39,563 --> 00:20:41,613
I think it's really happening.

328
00:20:43,567 --> 00:20:45,397
Is that good or bad? Riggan!

329
00:20:45,569 --> 00:20:47,609
It's good. It's great.

330
00:20:47,780 --> 00:20:49,570
Say something else.

331
00:20:52,535 --> 00:20:54,125
You sure it's mine?

332
00:20:54,620 --> 00:20:57,960
Well, you know, there's you, there's
Jake, the masseur wore a condom...

333
00:20:58,290 --> 00:21:00,170
yeah, I'm pretty
sure it's yours.

334
00:21:00,584 --> 00:21:01,544
Idiot.

335
00:21:04,380 --> 00:21:06,590
- Are you excited?
- Yeah.

336
00:21:07,591 --> 00:21:08,761
Me, too.

337
00:21:13,013 --> 00:21:14,813
You're not funny!

338
00:21:17,810 --> 00:21:20,230
What? Hey, what?

339
00:21:36,662 --> 00:21:38,582
First preview tomorrow.

340
00:21:40,624 --> 00:21:42,214
Here we go.

341
00:21:45,588 --> 00:21:48,628
I rode with him in the
ambulance to the hospital.

342
00:21:48,716 --> 00:21:51,506
I will never get that
image out of my head.

343
00:21:51,802 --> 00:21:55,602
Right before he did it, his
eyes were so sad and lonely.

344
00:21:55,973 --> 00:21:59,393
- Did you have to treat him?
- I didn't have to, but I did.

345
00:21:59,685 --> 00:22:02,845
Music out. Cue 34, 35 ready.

346
00:22:03,272 --> 00:22:07,072
He was in terrible shape. His head swelled
to twice the size of a normal head.

347
00:22:07,485 --> 00:22:09,495
- He's good, huh?
- He's incredible.

348
00:22:09,653 --> 00:22:11,703
I think he's drinking real gin.

349
00:22:11,864 --> 00:22:12,864
What?

350
00:22:13,866 --> 00:22:17,866
Ask Nick. I want you to ask
Nick if he thinks that's love.

351
00:22:18,204 --> 00:22:20,754
Oh, honey, can't we
just go to dinner?

352
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,830
Mel, don't get him started.

353
00:22:23,167 --> 00:22:27,587
You don't know how he's been lately.
He's been depressed. I've been worried.

354
00:22:27,630 --> 00:22:29,050
You've been what?

355
00:22:30,257 --> 00:22:34,467
Let me tell you guys something about
real love. I'll tell you something.

356
00:22:34,637 --> 00:22:38,637
We all should be ashamed when we talk
like we know what we're talking about...

357
00:22:39,016 --> 00:22:40,596
when we talk about love.

358
00:22:40,893 --> 00:22:42,903
For God's sake, are
you getting drunk?

359
00:22:43,104 --> 00:22:44,614
I don't have to be drunk
to say what I think.

360
00:22:44,897 --> 00:22:46,850
We're not drunk. We're
having a few drinks.

361
00:22:46,862 --> 00:22:47,517
Exactly.

362
00:22:47,608 --> 00:22:50,438
- You've had more than a few.
- What, are you counting?

363
00:22:50,736 --> 00:22:53,526
Leave her alone. If you're not
drunk, don't talk like you are.

364
00:22:53,614 --> 00:22:55,034
Shut up!

365
00:22:56,742 --> 00:23:00,912
Do me a favor. For once in your life,
honest to God, shut up for a minute.

366
00:23:03,290 --> 00:23:05,880
Anyway, like I was saying...

367
00:23:06,502 --> 00:23:09,092
you want to know about real
love, there's this old couple...

368
00:23:10,297 --> 00:23:12,717
had a car wreck, out
on the interstate.

369
00:23:13,676 --> 00:23:17,886
Some drunk kid plowed
his old man's pickup...

370
00:23:18,764 --> 00:23:20,354
right into their camper.

371
00:23:20,725 --> 00:23:25,735
By the time I got down to the hospital,
this kid, this fucking teenager, was dead.

372
00:23:26,939 --> 00:23:29,569
So we took the old
couple up to the O.R.

373
00:23:29,734 --> 00:23:32,784
We worked like hell on them
through most of the night.

374
00:23:34,363 --> 00:23:38,373
By the time we were done with
them, we just, you know...

375
00:23:38,784 --> 00:23:41,954
wrapped them in
full body casts.

376
00:23:47,543 --> 00:23:49,713
was depressed for
the longest time.

377
00:23:50,046 --> 00:23:52,620
Even after I said to
him, "your wife's going

378
00:23:52,632 --> 00:23:55,046
to pull through", he
was still depressed.

379
00:23:56,552 --> 00:24:00,722
So, I went up to the mouth
hole and I asked him.

380
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,810
And he told me it was because
he couldn't see her...

381
00:24:07,396 --> 00:24:10,606
through the eyes.
Couldn't see his wife.

382
00:24:11,734 --> 00:24:13,194
Can you imagine?

383
00:24:13,527 --> 00:24:17,737
I'm telling you, this guy's
heart was breaking because...

384
00:24:18,407 --> 00:24:22,997
he couldn't turn his goddamn head
and just look at his goddamn wife.

385
00:24:23,412 --> 00:24:24,832
Shit.

386
00:24:26,374 --> 00:24:27,794
I mean, it was killing this guy.

387
00:24:27,875 --> 00:24:29,705
I am so tired of this.
Is this water?

388
00:24:29,877 --> 00:24:31,167
It was killing him.

389
00:24:31,504 --> 00:24:35,764
Did you replace my
gin with water, man?

390
00:24:36,801 --> 00:24:37,971
Mike, come on.

391
00:24:38,302 --> 00:24:39,802
- "Come on," what?
- You're drunk.

392
00:24:39,887 --> 00:24:43,387
Yes, I'm drunk. I'm supposed to be drunk!
Why aren't you drunk?

393
00:24:43,766 --> 00:24:45,586
This is carver! He left
a piece of his liver

394
00:24:45,598 --> 00:24:47,226
on the table each
time he wrote a page!

395
00:24:47,561 --> 00:24:50,941
If I need to be drinking gin, who
the fuck are you to touch my gin?

396
00:24:51,232 --> 00:24:54,822
You fucked with the period, you fucked
with the plot so you'd get the best lines.

397
00:24:55,152 --> 00:24:57,782
Leave me the fucking
tools that I need!

398
00:24:57,822 --> 00:25:00,032
Come on, people, don't
be so pathetic.

399
00:25:00,366 --> 00:25:03,826
Stop viewing the world through your cell
phone screen! Have a real experience!

400
00:25:04,161 --> 00:25:07,001
Does anybody give a shit about
the truth other than me?

401
00:25:07,331 --> 00:25:09,751
This set is fake, the
bananas are fake.

402
00:25:09,792 --> 00:25:13,002
There's nothing in this milk carton!
Your performance is fake.

403
00:25:13,337 --> 00:25:16,417
The only thing that's real on
this stage is this chicken.

404
00:25:16,757 --> 00:25:18,927
So I'm going to work
with the chicken.

405
00:25:22,430 --> 00:25:23,810
That was interesting.

406
00:25:23,848 --> 00:25:25,058
Bring the curtain down.

407
00:25:25,266 --> 00:25:26,846
That's good bird, man!

408
00:25:27,852 --> 00:25:29,272
Get him out of here!

409
00:25:29,603 --> 00:25:31,193
How do you want me to do that?

410
00:25:33,691 --> 00:25:34,901
Hey, wait.

411
00:25:34,984 --> 00:25:36,904
- I want him gone.
- No!

412
00:25:36,986 --> 00:25:39,776
- We cannot do that!
- Of course we can! It's our show!

413
00:25:40,072 --> 00:25:42,912
- Listen to me.
- No, you listen to me.

414
00:25:42,992 --> 00:25:44,792
Get him the fuck out of my play.

415
00:25:45,077 --> 00:25:47,407
It was a preview!
Nobody gives a shit!

416
00:25:47,705 --> 00:25:51,255
Nothing matters until that old bat from
the New York times comes opening night!

417
00:25:51,584 --> 00:25:52,584
We're getting rid of him.

418
00:25:52,877 --> 00:25:56,257
Shut up! Shut up and
listen to me for once!

419
00:25:56,672 --> 00:26:00,052
As soon as we announced he was
taking over, the advance doubled.

420
00:26:00,384 --> 00:26:04,264
We can't afford to lose any more money
and we can't afford to lose Mike.

421
00:26:05,097 --> 00:26:07,898
This is about being
respected and validated,

422
00:26:07,910 --> 00:26:10,097
remember? That's
what you told me!

423
00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:12,939
That's how you got
me into this shit!

424
00:26:15,316 --> 00:26:18,106
Now, you're the director.
Get him under control.

425
00:26:20,112 --> 00:26:21,322
Fuck.

426
00:26:21,947 --> 00:26:23,947
This isn't the '90s anymore.

427
00:26:25,534 --> 00:26:27,124
Your zipper's down.

428
00:26:32,291 --> 00:26:33,291
Fuck.

429
00:26:39,298 --> 00:26:41,878
You were really good, cabrón.

430
00:26:47,890 --> 00:26:50,039
Out in front of the
theater in ten minutes!

431
00:26:50,051 --> 00:26:51,060
Don't overthink it.

432
00:27:02,780 --> 00:27:05,370
What the hell was
going on up there?

433
00:27:06,951 --> 00:27:08,911
I didn't know you
were here tonight.

434
00:27:08,953 --> 00:27:11,163
That guy's an asshole, huh?

435
00:27:11,914 --> 00:27:13,124
What are you doing here?

436
00:27:13,457 --> 00:27:16,337
Sam and I are going to grab a
bite after she's finished.

437
00:27:16,669 --> 00:27:18,249
No, I mean here. Now.

438
00:27:18,546 --> 00:27:21,546
Well, I know how much
this means to you.

439
00:27:22,967 --> 00:27:25,137
Thanks. I appreciate that.

440
00:27:25,761 --> 00:27:27,141
So what's happening?

441
00:27:27,596 --> 00:27:30,806
- With the play? You saw what.
- No. You and Sam.

442
00:27:31,183 --> 00:27:33,023
You know, it's great.

443
00:27:33,936 --> 00:27:35,016
It's the same.

444
00:27:35,104 --> 00:27:38,614
- Do you talk to her?
- Yeah, we talk.

445
00:27:39,024 --> 00:27:41,944
It's just been so crazy
around here, you know?

446
00:27:41,986 --> 00:27:45,026
- You understand where her head is at.
- Of course.

447
00:27:45,114 --> 00:27:47,374
She's trying to stay away
from everything and everyone

448
00:27:47,450 --> 00:27:50,120
that got her into rehab
in the first place.

449
00:27:50,411 --> 00:27:52,831
I know. I really do. I get it.

450
00:27:52,913 --> 00:27:56,083
- That's all she's had, so she's confused.
- Yeah, I get it.

451
00:27:56,375 --> 00:27:59,048
- I know you're caught up
in all this stuff, but—

452
00:27:59,060 --> 00:27:59,955
- "stuff"?

453
00:28:00,588 --> 00:28:01,958
You know what I mean.

454
00:28:03,591 --> 00:28:08,011
Riggan, you don't have to be a great
father right now. You just have to be one.

455
00:28:08,179 --> 00:28:09,809
Oh, sorry.

456
00:28:12,224 --> 00:28:14,064
How's that going?

457
00:28:15,978 --> 00:28:17,148
I'd rather not talk about it.

458
00:28:17,438 --> 00:28:18,858
You're drinking?

459
00:28:19,231 --> 00:28:20,861
Yeah, I'm having a beer.

460
00:28:24,653 --> 00:28:25,863
So...

461
00:28:27,656 --> 00:28:29,026
what's going on with you?

462
00:28:29,658 --> 00:28:31,078
Me?

463
00:28:34,038 --> 00:28:36,418
Everything's the same, I guess.

464
00:28:38,417 --> 00:28:39,917
I'm going back to teaching.

465
00:28:40,211 --> 00:28:41,211
Oh, yeah?

466
00:28:43,047 --> 00:28:46,047
I'm thinking of refinancing
the Malibu house.

467
00:28:46,550 --> 00:28:47,970
What? I'm sorry.

468
00:28:48,010 --> 00:28:52,640
- I'm thinking of refinancing—
- no, I heard you. I just need a second.

469
00:28:53,891 --> 00:28:55,891
That's going to be Sam's house.

470
00:28:56,060 --> 00:28:59,100
Why would you...? For this play?

471
00:29:01,482 --> 00:29:03,112
I need the money.

472
00:29:03,192 --> 00:29:06,072
Do you have any idea
how crazy that sounds?

473
00:29:06,695 --> 00:29:10,275
What do you want me to say? My
health lasted longer than the money.

474
00:29:10,408 --> 00:29:11,698
Go figure that out.

475
00:29:12,910 --> 00:29:14,490
What's going on?

476
00:29:15,705 --> 00:29:17,875
Riggan, look at me.

477
00:29:23,087 --> 00:29:25,257
I got a chance to
do something right.

478
00:29:28,676 --> 00:29:31,256
I got to take it. I got to.

479
00:29:33,139 --> 00:29:35,519
It's funny. I was sitting
here, waiting for you...

480
00:29:35,850 --> 00:29:39,230
and all of a sudden, I couldn't
remember why we broke up.

481
00:29:43,733 --> 00:29:46,323
You know, the last time
I flew here from L.A...

482
00:29:47,111 --> 00:29:50,531
george Clooney was sitting
two seats in front of me...

483
00:29:50,948 --> 00:29:54,158
with a nice pair of cufflinks
and that fucking chin.

484
00:29:54,952 --> 00:29:58,752
We ended up flying through this
really, really horrible storm.

485
00:29:59,081 --> 00:30:02,631
I mean, the plane was
rattling and shaking.

486
00:30:03,294 --> 00:30:06,714
And all the people on board
are, you know, crying.

487
00:30:07,131 --> 00:30:09,721
I mean, crying. Praying, right?

488
00:30:11,052 --> 00:30:15,142
I just sat there. They're
crying, I sit there.

489
00:30:15,347 --> 00:30:17,977
And I'm thinking, "oh, boy...

490
00:30:18,142 --> 00:30:21,352
"... the next morning, when
Sam looks at the paper...

491
00:30:21,979 --> 00:30:25,979
"... it's going to be Clooney's
face on the front page, not mine."

492
00:30:26,567 --> 00:30:27,987
You know? Boom.

493
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:39,000
Did you know farrah fawcett died the
exact same day as Michael Jackson?

494
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,790
Is that crazy?

495
00:30:56,597 --> 00:30:58,217
Why did we break up?

496
00:30:58,307 --> 00:31:00,927
Because you threw a
kitchen knife at me...

497
00:31:01,227 --> 00:31:04,187
and an hour later, were telling
me how much you loved me.

498
00:31:05,147 --> 00:31:08,727
Just because I didn't like that ridiculous
comedy you did with Goldie hawn...

499
00:31:09,026 --> 00:31:10,816
did not mean I
did not love you.

500
00:31:11,195 --> 00:31:15,745
That's what you always do— you
confuse love for admiration.

501
00:31:17,284 --> 00:31:20,954
It's your house—do what you want with it.
Just be there for our daughter.

502
00:31:21,288 --> 00:31:22,458
I will.

503
00:31:24,250 --> 00:31:26,210
You're not farrah
fawcett, riggan.

504
00:31:28,713 --> 00:31:32,223
We should have done that
reality show— the Thomsons.

505
00:31:32,341 --> 00:31:33,431
Shut up.

506
00:31:33,509 --> 00:31:34,929
- That would've been good.
- Shut up!

507
00:31:35,261 --> 00:31:39,221
Crazy, druggy, wise-ass daughter,
milf-y wife with perky tits.

508
00:31:39,682 --> 00:31:41,682
People would've
wanted to see that.

509
00:31:41,976 --> 00:31:43,976
- Shut up.
- More than this piece of shit.

510
00:31:44,311 --> 00:31:45,311
Shut up!

511
00:31:48,315 --> 00:31:50,895
- The sun bed is here.
- What does that mean?

512
00:31:51,193 --> 00:31:55,323
It means there's a sun bed out
there being delivered to in here.

513
00:31:55,364 --> 00:31:56,574
Who ordered a sun bed?

514
00:31:56,907 --> 00:32:00,367
Mike. He said it's for his character—
part of his process and that shit.

515
00:32:00,911 --> 00:32:02,911
He said he has to be a redneck.

516
00:32:03,205 --> 00:32:04,745
Son of a bitch.

517
00:32:09,879 --> 00:32:11,299
Let's go. Walk.

518
00:32:11,338 --> 00:32:13,338
- Where are we going?
- To get you coffee.

519
00:32:13,674 --> 00:32:16,094
- Did I do something to disrespect you?
- Not yet.

520
00:32:16,260 --> 00:32:19,100
- I have a lot riding on this play.
- Oh, is that right?

521
00:32:21,599 --> 00:32:24,019
Bullshit. They don't
know you, your work.

522
00:32:24,351 --> 00:32:25,441
They know the guy
from the bird suit

523
00:32:25,561 --> 00:32:28,191
who tells coy, slightly
vomitous stories on letterman.

524
00:32:28,522 --> 00:32:30,022
Well, I'm sorry if I'm popular.

525
00:32:30,357 --> 00:32:32,147
Popular? I don't give a shit.

526
00:32:32,193 --> 00:32:36,823
Popularity is the slutty little
cousin of prestige, my friend.

527
00:32:37,156 --> 00:32:39,406
Okay, I don't even know
what the fuck that means.

528
00:32:39,950 --> 00:32:44,160
It means, my reputation is riding
on this, and that's worth a, a...

529
00:32:44,330 --> 00:32:47,290
- A lot.
- A lot, exactly! Fuck you. Yes!

530
00:32:47,583 --> 00:32:51,003
If this doesn't work out for you, you
fuck off back to your studio pals...

531
00:32:51,337 --> 00:32:54,337
and dive back into that cultural
genocide you guys perpetrate.

532
00:32:54,382 --> 00:32:56,172
A douchebag's born every minute!

533
00:32:56,258 --> 00:32:58,798
That was p.T. Barnum's premise
when he invented the circus...

534
00:32:59,136 --> 00:33:02,926
and nothing has changed. You guys
know if you crank out toxic crap...

535
00:33:03,265 --> 00:33:05,385
people will line
up and pay to see it!

536
00:33:05,434 --> 00:33:08,274
But long after you're gone,
I'll be on that stage...

537
00:33:08,354 --> 00:33:10,234
earning my living,
baring my soul,

538
00:33:10,356 --> 00:33:12,766
wrestling with complex emotions,
'cause that's what we do.

539
00:33:13,067 --> 00:33:17,197
So that's what tonight was about?
You wrestling with complex emotion?

540
00:33:17,238 --> 00:33:20,868
Tonight was about seeing if it's
even alive, if it can bleed.

541
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,410
This isn't a backlot, riggan, this is New
York City. This is how we do things.

542
00:33:27,415 --> 00:33:29,175
They have coffee here.

543
00:33:36,549 --> 00:33:37,969
Thanks, Tommy.

544
00:33:38,259 --> 00:33:39,429
They were laughing at us.

545
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,760
Tonight they were laughing, tomorrow
they'll be tweeting. Who cares?

546
00:33:44,098 --> 00:33:48,098
These are people who pay half price
to watch us rehearse. Stop caring.

547
00:33:48,436 --> 00:33:50,596
This play's a drama.
It's about—

548
00:33:50,896 --> 00:33:52,606
- you don't know what the play's about.
- I do know.

549
00:33:52,898 --> 00:33:55,478
No, you don't. That's
what previews are for.

550
00:33:55,818 --> 00:34:00,818
That's why they call them previews. That's
where you figure out what the play is.

551
00:34:02,032 --> 00:34:04,622
Okay, look, look. Listen to me.

552
00:34:04,910 --> 00:34:07,330
You see the woman at
the end of the bar?

553
00:34:07,371 --> 00:34:09,501
The one who looks like she
licked a homeless man's ass?

554
00:34:09,707 --> 00:34:10,707
Yeah.

555
00:34:11,584 --> 00:34:15,304
All that matters is what she writes
about us in 500 words in the times.

556
00:34:15,379 --> 00:34:17,799
- That's, uh...
- Tabitha Dickinson, yes.

557
00:34:18,215 --> 00:34:21,585
The only opinion that matters
in New York theater is hers.

558
00:34:22,011 --> 00:34:25,601
If she likes us, we run. If
she doesn't, we're fucked.

559
00:34:27,058 --> 00:34:29,348
She does look like she
licked a homeless guy's ass.

560
00:34:29,435 --> 00:34:33,865
Do me a favor. Don't get your panties in a
twist over a preview, like some rookie...

561
00:34:34,148 --> 00:34:35,728
and don't tell me
how to do my job.

562
00:34:36,067 --> 00:34:40,277
This is my town and to be honest, people
don't give a shit about you here.

563
00:34:40,321 --> 00:34:42,951
- You're riggan thomson, right?
- Sorry to interrupt.

564
00:34:43,282 --> 00:34:45,872
Would you mind having a
picture with us here?

565
00:34:46,452 --> 00:34:47,872
Would you mind?

566
00:34:48,287 --> 00:34:49,657
The button's on the bottom.

567
00:34:53,250 --> 00:34:55,630
- Who is this guy?
- He used to be birdman.

568
00:35:00,257 --> 00:35:02,837
Oh, you're such a doll. Thank you.
You're so sweet.

569
00:35:03,260 --> 00:35:04,470
Handsome.

570
00:35:05,054 --> 00:35:06,644
Okay, sweetheart, come on.

571
00:35:12,686 --> 00:35:14,096
Are we good here?

572
00:35:15,106 --> 00:35:16,516
I'm going to go home.

573
00:35:17,525 --> 00:35:19,325
All right. See you tomorrow.

574
00:35:23,531 --> 00:35:25,121
I want to know something.

575
00:35:26,117 --> 00:35:27,697
Why Raymond carver?

576
00:35:32,331 --> 00:35:35,291
I was a kid, in high school...

577
00:35:35,459 --> 00:35:39,089
doing a play in Syracuse,
and he was in the audience.

578
00:35:39,505 --> 00:35:42,675
And he sent this
back afterwards.

579
00:35:44,885 --> 00:35:45,885
A little note.

580
00:35:45,970 --> 00:35:49,510
"Thank you for an honest performance.
Ray carver."

581
00:35:51,559 --> 00:35:56,359
That's when I knew I was going
to be an actor. Right there.

582
00:36:00,735 --> 00:36:02,155
What's so funny?

583
00:36:02,445 --> 00:36:04,455
It's just on a cocktail napkin.

584
00:36:04,530 --> 00:36:05,740
So?

585
00:36:06,574 --> 00:36:08,584
He was fucking drunk, man.

586
00:36:11,746 --> 00:36:13,536
You headed to Hollywood, Mike?

587
00:36:13,956 --> 00:36:15,116
No.

588
00:36:16,542 --> 00:36:18,712
Hollywood's heading here, tabby.

589
00:36:19,003 --> 00:36:20,923
Good luck with that.

590
00:36:21,589 --> 00:36:25,339
"A man becomes a critic when
he cannot be an artist...

591
00:36:25,384 --> 00:36:29,434
"... the same way a man becomes an
informer when he cannot be a soldier."

592
00:36:29,972 --> 00:36:31,392
That's flaubert, right?

593
00:36:31,557 --> 00:36:34,767
He's a Hollywood clown
in a lycra bird suit.

594
00:36:35,186 --> 00:36:38,186
Yes, he is. But tomorrow
night at 8:00...

595
00:36:38,481 --> 00:36:41,191
he's going out on that
stage and risking everything.

596
00:36:41,776 --> 00:36:43,396
What will you be doing?

597
00:36:44,653 --> 00:36:47,663
Don't you ever worry that
I'll give you a bad review?

598
00:36:48,407 --> 00:36:49,777
I'm sure you will...

599
00:36:50,201 --> 00:36:52,621
if I ever give you
a bad performance.

600
00:36:53,788 --> 00:36:55,208
Miss Dickinson.

601
00:36:55,623 --> 00:36:57,173
Mr. shiner.

602
00:38:09,071 --> 00:38:10,701
What are you still doing here?

603
00:38:10,740 --> 00:38:11,950
Nothing.

604
00:38:12,867 --> 00:38:16,697
Your costumes are hanging
in your dressing room.

605
00:38:16,871 --> 00:38:18,291
Oh, great. Great.

606
00:38:18,581 --> 00:38:20,831
I got that coconut
water you wanted.

607
00:38:21,250 --> 00:38:24,670
If you want the face stuff, it's
not open till tomorrow. What?

608
00:38:26,255 --> 00:38:29,045
I'm not sure that
I said thank you.

609
00:38:29,550 --> 00:38:30,550
For what?

610
00:38:30,634 --> 00:38:34,644
Everything. You've been doing
a really good job, honestly.

611
00:38:34,972 --> 00:38:38,182
I've been so preoccupied
with all the...

612
00:38:39,894 --> 00:38:43,524
Okay, well, I just
wanted to say that.

613
00:38:47,693 --> 00:38:49,113
What is that?

614
00:38:50,112 --> 00:38:51,532
That smell.

615
00:38:52,114 --> 00:38:54,324
What is it? Look at me.
Look at me!

616
00:38:54,617 --> 00:38:55,617
What? What?

617
00:38:55,701 --> 00:38:59,121
You've got to be shitting me.
Where is it?

618
00:39:00,122 --> 00:39:02,082
Can we not do this, please?

619
00:39:02,708 --> 00:39:03,708
Dad?

620
00:39:03,876 --> 00:39:06,706
Where is it? I can't
believe this.

621
00:39:09,715 --> 00:39:12,505
- What is this?
- Chunky peanut butter.

622
00:39:13,302 --> 00:39:15,512
This. This. What is that?

623
00:39:16,931 --> 00:39:18,931
That's pot. Relax.

624
00:39:22,019 --> 00:39:23,599
You know what I'm talking about.

625
00:39:23,938 --> 00:39:25,688
Yeah, you! What else is new?

626
00:39:25,731 --> 00:39:27,731
- Don't do that thing where you—
- make it about me? Never!

627
00:39:28,025 --> 00:39:29,605
I'm trying to do
something important!

628
00:39:29,944 --> 00:39:32,574
- This is not important!
- It's important to me!

629
00:39:32,738 --> 00:39:37,738
Maybe not to you or your cynical friends
whose only ambition is to "go viral"...

630
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:42,160
but to me... God,
this is my career!

631
00:39:42,748 --> 00:39:45,328
It's my chance to finally do
work that means something.

632
00:39:45,626 --> 00:39:47,626
That means something to who?

633
00:39:47,712 --> 00:39:50,712
You had a career, dad, before
the third comic book movie.

634
00:39:51,132 --> 00:39:54,342
Before people started to forget
who was inside that bird costume.

635
00:39:54,635 --> 00:39:58,135
You are doing a play based on a
book written 60 years ago...

636
00:39:58,472 --> 00:40:00,682
for a thousand rich
old white people...

637
00:40:00,766 --> 00:40:04,186
whose only concern is where to
have cake and coffee afterwards!

638
00:40:04,478 --> 00:40:06,648
Nobody gives a shit but you!

639
00:40:06,981 --> 00:40:09,401
And, let's face it, dad...

640
00:40:09,692 --> 00:40:11,693
you are not doing
this for the sake of

641
00:40:11,705 --> 00:40:13,862
art, you're doing it to
feel relevant again.

642
00:40:14,196 --> 00:40:16,656
Well, guess what? There's
an entire world of people

643
00:40:16,782 --> 00:40:18,662
who fight to be relevant
every single day!

644
00:40:18,993 --> 00:40:20,793
And you act like
it doesn't exist.

645
00:40:21,078 --> 00:40:23,498
Things that are happening
in a place you ignore...

646
00:40:23,831 --> 00:40:26,751
that has already
forgotten about you!

647
00:40:27,168 --> 00:40:31,758
I mean, who the fuck are you? You
hate bloggers, you mock Twitter.

648
00:40:32,048 --> 00:40:35,838
You don't even have a Facebook page!
It's you who doesn't exist!

649
00:40:36,177 --> 00:40:40,637
You're doing this because you're terrified,
like the rest of us, that you don't matter.

650
00:40:40,681 --> 00:40:43,731
And you know what? You're right!
You don't!

651
00:40:43,809 --> 00:40:48,229
It's not important, okay? You're
not important—get used to it!

652
00:41:07,041 --> 00:41:08,211
Dad.

653
00:42:12,481 --> 00:42:16,491
In the days before Nick's depression
started to eat away at him...

654
00:42:16,819 --> 00:42:20,489
he never knew I was pregnant,
and I never intended to tell him.

655
00:42:21,282 --> 00:42:25,492
I guess we make choices in life,
and we choose to live with them.

656
00:42:26,495 --> 00:42:27,905
Or not.

657
00:42:28,914 --> 00:42:30,714
I didn't want that baby.

658
00:42:31,250 --> 00:42:35,460
Not because I didn't love Nick, and not
because I didn't love the idea of it...

659
00:42:35,838 --> 00:42:39,048
but just because I wasn't
ready to love myself.

660
00:42:40,885 --> 00:42:42,685
There's a distance
to it all now.

661
00:42:42,845 --> 00:42:46,275
A wistful distance, underscored
by a gentle breeze...

662
00:42:46,849 --> 00:42:47,769
Actors in position.

663
00:42:47,808 --> 00:42:48,888
and the sound of birds...

664
00:42:49,226 --> 00:42:52,436
- Music out.
- ... Laughing at the whimsy of it all.

665
00:42:52,938 --> 00:42:54,518
- Lesley?
- What?

666
00:42:54,940 --> 00:42:56,440
I think I'm hard.

667
00:42:56,734 --> 00:43:00,034
No, it's just sometimes you don't
consider other people's feelings.

668
00:43:00,321 --> 00:43:03,121
No, no. I'm getting
hard—feel that.

669
00:43:03,532 --> 00:43:05,122
What? You've got to be kidding.

670
00:43:05,451 --> 00:43:07,871
- Let's really do it. Let's fuck.
- No, are you crazy?

671
00:43:07,912 --> 00:43:09,752
It'll be incredible!
It'll be real.

672
00:43:09,830 --> 00:43:12,250
Cut it out! I'm serious, Mike.

673
00:43:12,500 --> 00:43:14,920
Don't call me Mike. Call me Mel.

674
00:43:15,086 --> 00:43:16,496
Get off!

675
00:43:16,921 --> 00:43:18,921
Terri! Terri!

676
00:43:20,091 --> 00:43:21,931
Terri, I know you're in there!

677
00:43:22,093 --> 00:43:24,093
Get off me! Get off!

678
00:43:25,846 --> 00:43:27,006
- Ed?
- Why?

679
00:43:27,348 --> 00:43:29,348
- What are you doing here?
- Just tell me why.

680
00:43:29,767 --> 00:43:31,767
Take it easy, okay? I
know this is hard.

681
00:43:31,852 --> 00:43:33,902
Shut up! Shut—

682
00:43:34,563 --> 00:43:36,773
- shut up!
- Just don't do anything stupid.

683
00:43:37,942 --> 00:43:39,572
Eddie, please!

684
00:43:40,152 --> 00:43:44,782
What's the matter with me? Why do I
always have to beg people to love me?

685
00:43:44,949 --> 00:43:47,159
Eddie, please, give me the gun.

686
00:43:47,576 --> 00:43:48,986
Look at me.

687
00:43:49,161 --> 00:43:52,371
I was drowning. I'm
just not capable of—

688
00:43:53,374 --> 00:43:57,344
you deserve to be loved, Eddie.
You do.

689
00:43:57,753 --> 00:43:59,963
I just wanted to be
what you wanted.

690
00:44:00,131 --> 00:44:04,551
Now I spend every fucking minute praying
to be somebody else. Somebody I'm not!

691
00:44:04,969 --> 00:44:05,929
Anybody.

692
00:44:06,762 --> 00:44:09,972
Just put the gun down, ed. She
doesn't love you anymore.

693
00:44:10,599 --> 00:44:12,019
You don't, do you?

694
00:44:12,184 --> 00:44:13,394
No.

695
00:44:15,229 --> 00:44:16,649
And you never will.

696
00:44:17,064 --> 00:44:18,654
I'm sorry.

697
00:44:20,860 --> 00:44:22,650
I don't exist.

698
00:44:25,072 --> 00:44:26,452
I'm not even here.

699
00:44:27,867 --> 00:44:32,077
None of this even matters. I don't exist.
I don't exist.

700
00:44:33,664 --> 00:44:35,674
- Ed...
- I don't exist.

701
00:44:36,042 --> 00:44:38,002
Ed! Eddie, Eddie, don't do that!

702
00:44:47,428 --> 00:44:49,008
You're such an asshole!

703
00:44:49,430 --> 00:44:51,100
What? That's the
best you've been.

704
00:44:51,140 --> 00:44:53,680
Why would you do that?
We were onstage!

705
00:44:53,976 --> 00:44:56,556
What the fuck? It's like my
head was a jar of bolognese!

706
00:44:56,896 --> 00:44:58,476
I'll fix the blood rig.

707
00:44:58,898 --> 00:45:00,688
—They're fucking
in a motel room.

708
00:45:01,108 --> 00:45:02,609
You can't get it up in
six months and now you

709
00:45:02,621 --> 00:45:04,068
want to fuck me in front
of 800 strangers?

710
00:45:04,361 --> 00:45:07,491
I need it to feel real, okay?
I need that intensity.

711
00:45:12,078 --> 00:45:15,908
I was in the moment. I thought
you were, too. I'm sorry.

712
00:45:16,082 --> 00:45:19,082
I told you to stop,
you fucking animal.

713
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:21,550
You were brilliant.

714
00:45:21,879 --> 00:45:23,879
What is wrong with you?

715
00:45:42,942 --> 00:45:45,112
I want your shit out
of the apartment.

716
00:45:45,528 --> 00:45:49,318
What? Hey, no, wait. Look, look, I'm sorry.
Can we just—

717
00:45:49,740 --> 00:45:53,120
no, we can't, Mike! Maybe up
here, you're Mr. truth...

718
00:45:53,536 --> 00:45:56,206
but in the real world, where it
counts, you're a fucking fraud!

719
00:45:56,330 --> 00:45:58,540
How's that for truth, you dick?

720
00:45:59,709 --> 00:46:01,709
- What's wrong?
- He's an asshole.

721
00:46:01,794 --> 00:46:02,844
What'd he do now?

722
00:46:03,045 --> 00:46:05,005
Nothing, just try to fuck me
in front of the audience!

723
00:46:05,089 --> 00:46:06,509
- Oh, my God!
- Right?

724
00:46:06,799 --> 00:46:07,969
That's kind of hot!

725
00:46:13,556 --> 00:46:16,346
Why don't I have
any self-respect?

726
00:46:16,767 --> 00:46:18,767
You're an actress, honey.

727
00:46:19,186 --> 00:46:20,766
I'm pathetic!

728
00:46:22,982 --> 00:46:24,152
Look at me.

729
00:46:28,571 --> 00:46:32,991
You know, I've always dreamed
of being a Broadway actress...

730
00:46:33,576 --> 00:46:36,786
since I was a little kid.
And now I'm here, and I'm...

731
00:46:37,204 --> 00:46:41,754
I'm not a Broadway actress,
I'm still just a little kid.

732
00:46:44,128 --> 00:46:48,168
And I keep waiting for someone
to tell me I made it.

733
00:46:50,176 --> 00:46:51,756
You made it.

734
00:46:53,554 --> 00:46:54,974
I did?

735
00:46:55,806 --> 00:46:59,476
Sadly, it was with Mike shiner on a
fake motel bed in front of 800 people.

736
00:46:59,810 --> 00:47:01,230
Shut up.

737
00:47:06,192 --> 00:47:09,242
- Hey, is she okay?
- She'll be fine.

738
00:47:11,238 --> 00:47:14,618
Look, none of this
is your fault, okay?

739
00:47:15,409 --> 00:47:18,829
You're beautiful and
you're talented...

740
00:47:19,830 --> 00:47:21,830
and I'm lucky to have you.

741
00:47:22,708 --> 00:47:23,878
Okay?

742
00:47:24,377 --> 00:47:25,787
Okay.

743
00:47:36,847 --> 00:47:39,057
That was kind of sweet.

744
00:47:39,225 --> 00:47:40,435
Yeah.

745
00:47:42,728 --> 00:47:44,148
What's wrong?

746
00:47:45,064 --> 00:47:49,234
Nothing. Two years, and he's never
said anything like that to me.

747
00:47:53,406 --> 00:47:56,236
You're beautiful and
you're talented...

748
00:47:56,409 --> 00:48:00,039
and I'm lucky to have you.
Okay?

749
00:48:00,204 --> 00:48:01,834
We're gross.

750
00:48:02,164 --> 00:48:03,334
We are.

751
00:48:14,009 --> 00:48:16,009
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.

752
00:48:25,229 --> 00:48:26,859
Do it again.

753
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:38,240
Can we discuss this like two mature
artists? What is the big deal about—

754
00:48:38,659 --> 00:48:40,079
fuck you!

755
00:48:43,289 --> 00:48:45,869
You're not ready yet.
That's fine.

756
00:48:52,423 --> 00:48:54,223
Fuck. Actresses.

757
00:48:54,633 --> 00:48:56,843
They drive me fucking crazy.

758
00:48:58,262 --> 00:48:59,222
Riggan?

759
00:49:01,474 --> 00:49:05,484
Your gun is ridiculous. I can see
the red plug in the barrel...

760
00:49:05,811 --> 00:49:09,611
so you look like a kid with a
plastic toy when you point it at me.

761
00:49:09,899 --> 00:49:12,899
I don't feel threatened at all.

762
00:49:13,903 --> 00:49:16,913
Get a better one. Have
some self-respect. Please.

763
00:49:18,908 --> 00:49:21,288
Hey, apart from that, uh...

764
00:49:21,911 --> 00:49:24,291
I thought it was a
pretty fun crowd, huh?

765
00:49:45,142 --> 00:49:47,142
I don't think it's high enough.

766
00:49:49,522 --> 00:49:50,942
Me, neither.

767
00:49:52,733 --> 00:49:54,363
What are you doing up here?

768
00:49:55,152 --> 00:49:56,742
Adrenaline.

769
00:49:57,446 --> 00:50:01,866
I just got out of rehab. It's the
closest thing I get to a drug.

770
00:50:02,368 --> 00:50:03,868
You went to rehab?

771
00:50:05,454 --> 00:50:06,664
Cool.

772
00:50:07,331 --> 00:50:12,291
It wasn't all Dr. drew or anything, but
that dude from American pie was there.

773
00:50:12,628 --> 00:50:13,628
Jump!

774
00:50:13,921 --> 00:50:15,341
Eat me!

775
00:50:15,506 --> 00:50:17,716
Okay, then jump on my face!

776
00:50:18,509 --> 00:50:20,299
I love this city.

777
00:50:21,137 --> 00:50:22,347
Yeah?

778
00:50:25,391 --> 00:50:30,401
Why do you act like a dick all the time?
Do you just do it to antagonize people?

779
00:50:31,772 --> 00:50:33,192
Maybe.

780
00:50:33,357 --> 00:50:36,277
You really don't give a shit
if people like you or not.

781
00:50:37,570 --> 00:50:38,990
Not really.

782
00:50:39,989 --> 00:50:41,369
That's cool.

783
00:50:41,782 --> 00:50:44,372
Is it? I don't know.

784
00:50:48,414 --> 00:50:49,414
What?

785
00:50:49,582 --> 00:50:52,962
- Let's play a game.
- A game? What are you, eight?

786
00:50:53,377 --> 00:50:54,957
What are you, 78?

787
00:50:55,337 --> 00:50:57,377
- Truth or dare.
- Oh, come on.

788
00:50:57,465 --> 00:50:59,305
Truth or dare?

789
00:51:00,342 --> 00:51:01,552
Truth.

790
00:51:03,971 --> 00:51:08,561
When we first met, you made
a comment about my ass.

791
00:51:09,435 --> 00:51:10,815
Why did you do that?

792
00:51:12,605 --> 00:51:16,615
You have a terrific ass,
and I noticed that.

793
00:51:17,234 --> 00:51:19,244
And I just commented on it.

794
00:51:21,030 --> 00:51:23,030
- Truth or dare?
- Dare.

795
00:51:23,449 --> 00:51:25,029
- Really?
- Yeah.

796
00:51:33,584 --> 00:51:35,424
- No.
- You said dare.

797
00:51:35,503 --> 00:51:38,133
- Truth.
- No, it's too late.

798
00:51:45,388 --> 00:51:47,388
- Happy?
- Yeah.

799
00:51:51,060 --> 00:51:52,480
Truth or dare?

800
00:51:52,645 --> 00:51:54,445
- Truth.
- You're boring.

801
00:51:54,772 --> 00:51:56,772
The truth is always interesting.

802
00:52:01,487 --> 00:52:03,487
You want to fool around with me?

803
00:52:04,448 --> 00:52:05,448
No.

804
00:52:06,450 --> 00:52:07,660
Really?

805
00:52:08,577 --> 00:52:09,577
Why not?

806
00:52:09,870 --> 00:52:12,870
- That's a second question.
- It's a second part.

807
00:52:16,043 --> 00:52:18,053
I'd be afraid I
couldn't get it up.

808
00:52:21,841 --> 00:52:25,471
That didn't seem to be a
problem for you onstage.

809
00:52:27,346 --> 00:52:31,056
Nothing is a problem
for me onstage.

810
00:52:32,476 --> 00:52:35,516
- I want to ask another question.
- You already did.

811
00:52:35,604 --> 00:52:37,694
- One more.
- Go ahead.

812
00:52:39,525 --> 00:52:43,705
If you weren't afraid, what
would you want to do to me?

813
00:52:49,535 --> 00:52:51,695
I'd pull your eyes
out of your head...

814
00:52:52,538 --> 00:52:53,708
That's sweet.

815
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:55,710
and put them in
my own skull...

816
00:52:56,542 --> 00:52:58,992
and look around, so
I could see the street

817
00:52:59,004 --> 00:53:01,092
the way I used to
when I was your age.

818
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:15,640
Good night.

819
00:54:08,406 --> 00:54:10,406
Don't kill the messenger.

820
00:54:11,617 --> 00:54:13,197
He's an asshole.

821
00:54:14,995 --> 00:54:15,995
I told you.

822
00:54:16,205 --> 00:54:17,575
You fucking prick.

823
00:54:17,915 --> 00:54:19,325
He's playing you.

824
00:54:19,625 --> 00:54:20,665
This is it?

825
00:54:22,378 --> 00:54:24,168
Page 12. Page 12.

826
00:54:26,757 --> 00:54:29,134
"Riggan thomson, best
known as the face of

827
00:54:29,146 --> 00:54:31,757
birdman, tries not to lay
an egg on Broadway."

828
00:54:32,096 --> 00:54:34,506
- Where's the rest of it?
- There is no rest of it.

829
00:54:35,141 --> 00:54:37,521
Don't worry—it'll be used to
scoop up dog shit tomorrow.

830
00:54:37,810 --> 00:54:40,810
- How can you be so calm?
- What are my other choices?

831
00:54:41,147 --> 00:54:43,567
- Aren't you scared at all?
- About what?

832
00:54:43,607 --> 00:54:45,437
About being
humiliated out there!

833
00:54:45,526 --> 00:54:47,736
It won't be the first time
I've been humiliated.

834
00:54:48,028 --> 00:54:49,528
Well, of course it won't.

835
00:54:53,451 --> 00:54:54,831
You're an asshole.

836
00:55:02,251 --> 00:55:05,921
And by the way, I'm not pregnant, so
there's one thing not to worry about.

837
00:55:09,633 --> 00:55:11,433
Forget about her.

838
00:55:12,011 --> 00:55:17,021
He stole your front page. He's stealing
your show. He thinks you're a joke.

839
00:55:18,726 --> 00:55:21,096
Now two million people
agree with him.

840
00:55:21,395 --> 00:55:26,395
Maybe you are, riggan. Maybe
that's what you are—a joke.

841
00:55:45,503 --> 00:55:47,883
Whoa! What the hell is going on?

842
00:55:48,506 --> 00:55:49,666
- Get up!
- Ow! That hurts!

843
00:55:49,965 --> 00:55:51,375
- Get up!
- Back away!

844
00:55:51,717 --> 00:55:53,297
So carver's the reason
you became an actor?

845
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:55,509
Listen, this is my fucking show.

846
00:55:55,679 --> 00:55:58,889
I did the work, I raised the
money and I arrange the press!

847
00:55:59,225 --> 00:56:03,235
Oh, Jesus. They called
me for an interview.

848
00:56:03,562 --> 00:56:06,772
I told them the first thing
that came into my head.

849
00:56:06,941 --> 00:56:10,741
- We got the cover of the arts section!
- Fuck the arts section!

850
00:56:11,028 --> 00:56:14,238
You told them the first thing
that came into your head? Right.

851
00:56:14,573 --> 00:56:17,993
You're Mr. natural. Mr. fuck-the-scene-
just-stare- at-my-massive-hard-on.

852
00:56:18,077 --> 00:56:19,077
That's truth.

853
00:56:19,161 --> 00:56:20,251
You think it looked massive?

854
00:56:20,579 --> 00:56:24,169
Shut the fuck up. You don't get hard
on my stage unless I tell you to.

855
00:56:24,583 --> 00:56:26,713
Your stage? Let me
tell you something.

856
00:56:27,002 --> 00:56:31,222
This stage has belonged to a lot of great
actors, but you are not one of them.

857
00:56:31,549 --> 00:56:33,129
So you wrote your
own lines, huh?

858
00:56:33,551 --> 00:56:34,721
I did, actually.

859
00:56:34,927 --> 00:56:37,547
You wrote a few changes and
mumbled, you self-absorbed prick.

860
00:56:37,596 --> 00:56:39,006
I'm self-absorbed? Look at you.

861
00:56:39,265 --> 00:56:40,685
You nobody piece of shit!

862
00:56:40,766 --> 00:56:43,976
Nobody? My massive hard-on
got 50,000 views on YouTube.

863
00:56:44,270 --> 00:56:46,860
A cat playing with a dildo
gets more than that.

864
00:56:47,189 --> 00:56:48,769
- I don't care.
- Yes, you do! You care.

865
00:56:49,191 --> 00:56:51,611
- I'm a theater actor.
- I don't give a shit. You care.

866
00:56:51,652 --> 00:56:55,862
Everybody says, "oh, Mike is so honest.
Mike is so motherfucking truthful!"

867
00:56:56,824 --> 00:57:00,794
You said in the interview your father
was a drunk like carver. Is that true?

868
00:57:01,078 --> 00:57:03,078
- No. No.
- 'Cause my father was.

869
00:57:03,414 --> 00:57:06,424
My father was a mean fucking drunk.
You understand?

870
00:57:06,709 --> 00:57:10,669
He beat the shit out of us. But at
least when he was beating us...

871
00:57:10,755 --> 00:57:14,595
he wasn't thinking about
taking us out to his toolshed.

872
00:57:14,967 --> 00:57:16,757
Because when he got
us out there...

873
00:57:17,178 --> 00:57:18,758
that bastard would
smile and say:

874
00:57:19,055 --> 00:57:21,645
"You want to get on your
knees and unbuckle my belt,

875
00:57:21,766 --> 00:57:23,806
"or do I take it off
and use it on you?"

876
00:57:24,435 --> 00:57:27,655
After a while, I made myself
numb, so... but my—

877
00:57:28,022 --> 00:57:29,442
my little sister...

878
00:57:31,025 --> 00:57:34,035
Okay. Okay. Hey, hey, hey.

879
00:57:35,029 --> 00:57:36,659
Oh, God.

880
00:57:37,656 --> 00:57:40,236
I didn't know. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

881
00:57:40,659 --> 00:57:43,869
That's fucking horrible, man.
I'm sorry.

882
00:57:45,873 --> 00:57:48,883
It's also not true. See,
I can pretend, too.

883
00:57:49,418 --> 00:57:50,788
Don't fuck with me, Mike.

884
00:57:51,087 --> 00:57:53,837
You're a little bit crazy. You
should start using that onstage.

885
00:57:53,881 --> 00:57:57,301
"Working with riggan thomson's
like waltzing with a monkey"?

886
00:57:57,635 --> 00:58:00,645
- I might have said that.
- You might? Come on, let's go.

887
00:58:00,805 --> 00:58:02,515
- Come on.
- Yeah.

888
00:58:02,890 --> 00:58:05,270
Why don't you get your
wings and your bird suit?

889
00:58:16,779 --> 00:58:19,739
I'm gonna crab up on your ass
and fucking choke you out!

890
00:58:20,074 --> 00:58:21,874
Get off me. What are
you looking at?

891
00:58:22,159 --> 00:58:26,749
What are you going to do, replace me?
Get fucking Ryan gosling or some shit?

892
00:58:27,081 --> 00:58:29,071
What do you think my
friend Tabitha will do

893
00:58:29,083 --> 00:58:31,131
to you in the times, you
fucking dilettante!

894
00:58:50,938 --> 00:58:53,518
You are lame, riggan...

895
00:58:53,941 --> 00:58:57,111
rolling around with
that poncy theater fuck...

896
00:58:57,403 --> 00:59:00,413
in an 800-seat
shithole like this.

897
00:59:07,121 --> 00:59:09,961
Oh, you really
fucked up this time.

898
00:59:10,124 --> 00:59:14,094
You destroy a genius book with
that infantile adaptation.

899
00:59:14,503 --> 00:59:18,513
Now you're about to destroy
what's left of your career.

900
00:59:19,717 --> 00:59:20,877
It's pathetic.

901
00:59:21,177 --> 00:59:22,797
Breathing in, I am calm.

902
00:59:25,973 --> 00:59:29,143
I ignore this mental formation.
This is a mental formation.

903
00:59:29,435 --> 00:59:31,145
Stop that shit!

904
00:59:31,562 --> 00:59:34,942
I'm not a mental formation.
I'm you, asshole.

905
00:59:36,025 --> 00:59:39,445
- Leave me alone.
- You were a movie star, remember?

906
00:59:39,779 --> 00:59:41,989
- Pretentious, but happy.
- I wasn't happy.

907
00:59:42,031 --> 00:59:46,871
Ignorant, but charming. Now, you're
just a tiny, bitter cocksucker.

908
00:59:46,952 --> 00:59:49,162
I was fucking miserable.

909
00:59:49,455 --> 00:59:53,175
Yeah, but fake miserable.
Hollywood miserable.

910
00:59:53,584 --> 00:59:56,924
What are you trying to prove?
You're an artist? You're not.

911
00:59:57,338 --> 01:00:01,338
- Fuck you!
- No, fuck you, you coward.

912
01:00:01,759 --> 01:00:05,349
We grossed billions! You're
ashamed of that? Billions!

913
01:00:05,763 --> 01:00:09,773
And billions of flies eat shit every day!
So what? Does that make it good?

914
01:00:11,811 --> 01:00:14,401
I don't know if you
noticed, but that was 1992!

915
01:00:14,814 --> 01:00:17,824
You could jump right back into
that suit, if you wanted to.

916
01:00:17,983 --> 01:00:21,823
Oh, look at me! Look at this!
Look, look, look!

917
01:00:21,987 --> 01:00:24,407
I look like a Turkey
with leukemia!

918
01:00:24,824 --> 01:00:27,034
I'm fucking disappearing.

919
01:00:27,910 --> 01:00:31,910
This is what's left! I'm the answer to
a fucking trivial pursuit question!

920
01:00:32,206 --> 01:00:35,956
You're an imposter here. Eventually
they will figure you out.

921
01:00:36,127 --> 01:00:38,877
What part of this don't you get?
You're dead.

922
01:00:39,171 --> 01:00:42,171
- We are not dead.
- Oh, please, just stay dead.

923
01:00:42,508 --> 01:00:43,928
We are not dead.

924
01:00:43,968 --> 01:00:46,388
Stop saying "we!"
There is no "we!"

925
01:00:46,721 --> 01:00:50,391
I'm not fucking you! I'm
riggan fucking thomson!

926
01:00:51,016 --> 01:00:53,846
No, you're birdman.

927
01:00:54,228 --> 01:00:58,438
Because without me, all
that's left is you...

928
01:00:58,858 --> 01:01:01,648
a sad, selfish,
mediocre actor...

929
01:01:02,069 --> 01:01:05,659
grasping at the last
vestiges of his career.

930
01:01:11,037 --> 01:01:15,037
What the hell did you do that for?
I liked that poster.

931
01:01:16,250 --> 01:01:17,880
It's always "we," brother.

932
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:21,550
Fuck you! Shut the fuck up!

933
01:01:31,057 --> 01:01:35,477
You're fucking, so fucking annoying!
Shut up!

934
01:01:42,693 --> 01:01:44,073
Hey. What's up?

935
01:01:44,403 --> 01:01:45,823
Um, well...

936
01:01:46,697 --> 01:01:49,067
one hour till curtain.
Why don't you rest a bit?

937
01:01:49,492 --> 01:01:51,702
Yeah, I'm going to lay down.

938
01:01:52,078 --> 01:01:54,708
- Almost there, buddy. Last preview.
- Okay. Cool.

939
01:01:55,039 --> 01:01:56,209
- How you doing?
- Good. Great.

940
01:01:56,499 --> 01:01:59,999
The money came through. I just need
to transfer it into the account.

941
01:02:00,044 --> 01:02:01,464
Good. That's terrific.

942
01:02:01,879 --> 01:02:04,089
So... I'll go, uh, do that.

943
01:02:04,173 --> 01:02:05,593
Thanks for stopping by.

944
01:02:10,679 --> 01:02:12,469
You know I'm proud
of you, don't you?

945
01:02:14,141 --> 01:02:15,731
This took balls.

946
01:02:16,143 --> 01:02:18,313
- And you did it, okay?
- I know.

947
01:02:19,146 --> 01:02:21,516
I think we should
cancel the preview.

948
01:02:22,733 --> 01:02:26,113
I'm tired, dude. I can't
do this anymore, Jake.

949
01:02:27,113 --> 01:02:28,533
I can't.

950
01:02:31,117 --> 01:02:32,867
That's a joke, right?

951
01:02:33,953 --> 01:02:37,753
You know, I don't think this is for me.
The whole...

952
01:02:39,083 --> 01:02:40,083
They're laughing at me.

953
01:02:40,126 --> 01:02:45,086
There is a three-block line
of people waiting for you.

954
01:02:46,507 --> 01:02:49,507
It's a full house.
We're sold out!

955
01:02:50,302 --> 01:02:52,102
- Really?
- Yes!

956
01:02:52,513 --> 01:02:54,433
And the French
ambassador's coming.

957
01:02:54,557 --> 01:02:57,557
The prince of Saudi Arabia's
bringing one of his wives.

958
01:02:57,977 --> 01:03:01,557
And I didn't want to tell you
this, but Martin scorsees...

959
01:03:02,148 --> 01:03:05,148
is casting his new film, and...
Don't tell anybody.

960
01:03:05,568 --> 01:03:07,568
- No, I won't.
- Okay?

961
01:03:08,362 --> 01:03:09,508
Okay?

962
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:12,992
Okay. Yeah, yeah, I can be ready.
I can be ready.

963
01:03:13,159 --> 01:03:14,989
- Good.
- Thank you.

964
01:03:19,123 --> 01:03:20,293
How is he?

965
01:03:21,292 --> 01:03:22,712
He'll be fine.

966
01:03:23,127 --> 01:03:24,087
Poor creature.

967
01:03:24,170 --> 01:03:26,000
Is it true? Scorsese?

968
01:03:26,047 --> 01:03:29,087
Yeah. And the new pope, too.

969
01:03:30,468 --> 01:03:32,468
You're an asshole, Jake!

970
01:03:33,179 --> 01:03:35,469
I'm the one keeping this afloat!

971
01:03:54,658 --> 01:03:56,078
Are you okay?

972
01:03:56,118 --> 01:03:59,538
Yeah. Yeah. I think I
cut my hand shaving.

973
01:04:00,748 --> 01:04:03,958
Well, I just wanted
to say... I'm sorry.

974
01:04:04,126 --> 01:04:05,286
What for?

975
01:04:06,629 --> 01:04:10,219
I knew what Mike was capable of
and I brought him in anyway.

976
01:04:10,508 --> 01:04:14,508
No, no, no. You did good. Are you kidding?
You did great.

977
01:04:16,097 --> 01:04:20,137
Tomorrow's my first opening
night on Broadway.

978
01:04:20,351 --> 01:04:21,561
Mine, too.

979
01:04:22,770 --> 01:04:26,360
And I just want to let you know
that, no matter what happens...

980
01:04:27,566 --> 01:04:29,146
I'm really grateful to you.

981
01:04:29,485 --> 01:04:31,285
No, no, no. Me, too.

982
01:04:32,363 --> 01:04:34,203
This is exciting.

983
01:04:35,199 --> 01:04:38,199
We have a full house.
Jake just told me.

984
01:04:40,204 --> 01:04:42,004
Yeah, it's great.

985
01:04:49,338 --> 01:04:51,218
Oh, God.

986
01:05:16,866 --> 01:05:19,236
For fuck's sake,
just jump already.

987
01:05:20,661 --> 01:05:22,251
How'd you know I'd be up here?

988
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:27,080
Well, I didn't know, but
I kind of hoped maybe.

989
01:05:28,294 --> 01:05:29,634
Where is Lesley?

990
01:05:31,047 --> 01:05:34,047
Lesley? Uh, Lesley's moving on.

991
01:05:35,426 --> 01:05:37,256
Smart girl.

992
01:05:37,303 --> 01:05:40,353
Thank you. I appreciate
that support.

993
01:05:42,475 --> 01:05:44,485
You ready for your last preview?

994
01:05:45,352 --> 01:05:46,352
Sure, yeah.

995
01:05:46,687 --> 01:05:48,107
Who did that to you?

996
01:05:50,274 --> 01:05:52,484
Could have been
anybody, I guess.

997
01:05:52,902 --> 01:05:54,112
Yes.

998
01:05:54,278 --> 01:05:56,698
I'm sort of hoping
it was Lesley.

999
01:05:57,490 --> 01:05:59,280
It wasn't Lesley.

1000
01:06:02,912 --> 01:06:04,332
Oh, my God.

1001
01:06:04,497 --> 01:06:06,707
- Are you fucking kidding me?
- No.

1002
01:06:08,709 --> 01:06:10,249
Jesus Christ!

1003
01:06:11,462 --> 01:06:13,462
I think maybe I deserved it.

1004
01:06:15,466 --> 01:06:16,876
Fuck.

1005
01:06:18,469 --> 01:06:19,889
Fuck.

1006
01:06:21,305 --> 01:06:22,885
Tell me something.

1007
01:06:23,307 --> 01:06:27,937
What is the worst thing that
he did to you? Seriously.

1008
01:06:28,354 --> 01:06:30,154
He was never around.

1009
01:06:30,523 --> 01:06:34,153
Yeah? I mean, so what?
That was it?

1010
01:06:34,318 --> 01:06:38,158
No. It was how he tried
to make up for it...

1011
01:06:38,447 --> 01:06:42,447
by constantly trying to
convince me that I was special.

1012
01:06:50,543 --> 01:06:52,293
Okay. Look.

1013
01:06:53,337 --> 01:06:54,497
Look at me.

1014
01:06:55,715 --> 01:06:57,305
He was right, though.

1015
01:06:58,134 --> 01:07:00,934
- About what?
- About your being special.

1016
01:07:02,513 --> 01:07:04,933
You've been hanging
around here...

1017
01:07:05,391 --> 01:07:09,771
trying to make yourself invisible behind
this fragile little fuck-up routine...

1018
01:07:10,187 --> 01:07:11,357
but you can't.

1019
01:07:11,981 --> 01:07:14,571
You're anything but invisible.
You're big.

1020
01:07:15,776 --> 01:07:17,356
You're kind of a great mess.

1021
01:07:17,778 --> 01:07:21,198
It's like a candle burning at
both ends, but it's beautiful.

1022
01:07:22,408 --> 01:07:26,198
No amount of booze or weed or
attitude is going to hide that.

1023
01:07:32,001 --> 01:07:36,341
I'm glad you're an actor and not a
writer, 'cause that was, like...

1024
01:07:37,965 --> 01:07:39,375
oprah...

1025
01:07:40,551 --> 01:07:41,971
hallmark...

1026
01:07:42,887 --> 01:07:44,297
r. Kelly bad.

1027
01:07:44,346 --> 01:07:45,756
Yeah, well, I wasn't—

1028
01:08:09,413 --> 01:08:10,413
truth or dare?

1029
01:08:11,248 --> 01:08:13,458
- Truth.
- No.

1030
01:08:17,797 --> 01:08:20,007
- Truth.
- No.

1031
01:08:23,010 --> 01:08:24,430
Truth or dare?

1032
01:08:45,866 --> 01:08:48,076
Do you have any idea
where you're going?

1033
01:08:48,411 --> 01:08:50,001
Absolutely not.

1034
01:08:59,255 --> 01:09:00,845
How do you do it?

1035
01:09:01,841 --> 01:09:03,261
Do what?

1036
01:09:03,342 --> 01:09:05,750
Go out there every single
night and pretend to

1037
01:09:05,762 --> 01:09:08,182
be somebody else in front
of all those people?

1038
01:09:08,681 --> 01:09:11,481
I don't pretend out there.
I told you.

1039
01:09:11,892 --> 01:09:15,312
I pretend just about every
place else, but not out there.

1040
01:09:16,313 --> 01:09:17,483
That's a shame.

1041
01:09:19,525 --> 01:09:21,115
What are we doing here?

1042
01:09:22,111 --> 01:09:23,531
What do you mean?

1043
01:09:24,530 --> 01:09:26,700
I mean, what are we doing here?

1044
01:09:35,916 --> 01:09:40,086
By the time we got to the
hospital, the kid was dead.

1045
01:09:40,504 --> 01:09:44,304
So we took the old
couple up to the O.R.

1046
01:09:44,467 --> 01:09:47,507
We worked like hell on them...

1047
01:09:48,095 --> 01:09:50,305
through most of the night.

1048
01:09:51,348 --> 01:09:55,938
The husband, the old man, was
depressed for the longest time.

1049
01:09:56,353 --> 01:09:59,943
Even after I told him the wife would
pull through, he was still depressed.

1050
01:10:00,357 --> 01:10:04,947
So I went up to the mouth
hole and I asked him.

1051
01:10:06,739 --> 01:10:10,739
And he told me it was because
he couldn't see her...

1052
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,540
the wife, through
the eye holes.

1053
01:10:13,871 --> 01:10:18,171
Can you imagine? I'm telling you,
this guy's heart was breaking...

1054
01:10:18,584 --> 01:10:23,554
because he couldn't turn his
goddamn head to see his goddamn wife.

1055
01:10:24,131 --> 01:10:25,131
So...

1056
01:10:25,508 --> 01:10:29,508
I guess the question we
should ask ourselves is...

1057
01:10:30,554 --> 01:10:34,144
what do we talk about
when we talk about love?

1058
01:10:46,195 --> 01:10:48,995
Mel and I had been
together five years...

1059
01:10:49,323 --> 01:10:51,570
and I don't know how
many times I've heard "I

1060
01:10:51,582 --> 01:10:53,703
love you," but it wasn't
until that night...

1061
01:10:53,994 --> 01:10:57,624
The blood rig should be good now.
Be ready to go in two minutes.

1062
01:10:57,998 --> 01:10:59,578
That was amazing!

1063
01:10:59,917 --> 01:11:01,537
Yeah, good, right?

1064
01:11:04,547 --> 01:11:05,957
It's actually going well.

1065
01:11:06,382 --> 01:11:07,592
Yeah.

1066
01:11:11,095 --> 01:11:13,685
- I think we need to talk.
- No, no.

1067
01:11:14,223 --> 01:11:15,813
Yeah, I guess you're right...

1068
01:11:16,142 --> 01:11:18,450
but we will eventually,
because that's the

1069
01:11:18,462 --> 01:11:20,732
only way I'll get a
chance to say I'm sorry.

1070
01:11:21,230 --> 01:11:23,020
I really am sorry.

1071
01:11:24,024 --> 01:11:25,614
We'd have made great parents.

1072
01:11:25,943 --> 01:11:28,533
- Horrible. We'd have been...
- ... Awful. We'd have raised...

1073
01:11:28,821 --> 01:11:31,241
- ... a serial killer.
- Or Justin bieber.

1074
01:11:33,826 --> 01:11:35,826
I really wanted to be a mom.

1075
01:11:36,620 --> 01:11:39,250
But my body doesn't
seem to agree.

1076
01:11:45,129 --> 01:11:49,129
When I imagined myself on Broadway,
I never saw the dancing reindeer.

1077
01:11:49,425 --> 01:11:50,595
Nice touch.

1078
01:11:56,682 --> 01:11:59,852
In the days before Nick's depression
started to eat away at him...

1079
01:12:00,186 --> 01:12:02,056
he had no idea
I was pregnant...

1080
01:12:02,855 --> 01:12:05,075
and I never
intended to tell him.

1081
01:12:05,691 --> 01:12:09,281
I guess we make choices in life,
and we choose to live with them.

1082
01:12:09,695 --> 01:12:10,855
Or not.

1083
01:12:11,697 --> 01:12:13,277
I didn't want that baby.

1084
01:12:13,783 --> 01:12:16,290
Not because I didn't love
Nick, and not because

1085
01:12:16,302 --> 01:12:18,663
I didn't love the idea
of it, but because...

1086
01:12:19,872 --> 01:12:22,712
I just wasn't ready
to love myself.

1087
01:12:24,293 --> 01:12:26,593
There's a distance
to it all now.

1088
01:12:27,963 --> 01:12:30,593
Hey, Jimmy, you got a smoke?

1089
01:13:27,732 --> 01:13:29,782
Jimmy! Jimmy!

1090
01:13:29,942 --> 01:13:30,942
Jimmy!

1091
01:13:37,158 --> 01:13:38,578
Shit!

1092
01:13:39,952 --> 01:13:41,162
Fuck!

1093
01:13:47,376 --> 01:13:48,786
Fuck.

1094
01:13:57,928 --> 01:14:01,768
Hey, aren't you riggan thomson?
Holy shit, let me get an autograph.

1095
01:14:01,974 --> 01:14:03,984
Don't be a dick. Give
me an autograph.

1096
01:14:04,727 --> 01:14:05,687
Dude, you rock!

1097
01:14:05,978 --> 01:14:07,398
Birdman!

1098
01:14:07,980 --> 01:14:09,400
Oh, shit!

1099
01:14:15,821 --> 01:14:17,781
Oh, my God! You
know who that is?

1100
01:14:19,408 --> 01:14:21,408
Oh, can we take one picture!

1101
01:14:21,827 --> 01:14:24,407
Just one picture! Kids,
get next to him!

1102
01:14:24,830 --> 01:14:26,000
You suck!

1103
01:14:26,415 --> 01:14:27,995
You suuuuck!

1104
01:14:29,627 --> 01:14:31,377
Hey, birdman!

1105
01:14:38,969 --> 01:14:40,799
Riggan, I'm missing him.

1106
01:14:40,971 --> 01:14:43,971
It's the bird-fucking-man!
Hey, come look at this guy!

1107
01:14:44,433 --> 01:14:48,023
Birdman! Hey, birdman,
whooo, look at that!

1108
01:14:55,361 --> 01:14:56,741
Where you going, man?

1109
01:14:57,029 --> 01:14:59,239
You look so old in person.

1110
01:14:59,657 --> 01:15:01,027
Fuck you!

1111
01:15:04,662 --> 01:15:07,462
Sir! Sir! Where are you going?

1112
01:15:07,790 --> 01:15:10,460
Sir! Where are you—? Sir!

1113
01:15:10,876 --> 01:15:11,979
What are you doing?

1114
01:15:11,991 --> 01:15:14,836
Waiting for Jake. This
is my attorney, Mr. roth.

1115
01:15:14,922 --> 01:15:17,802
We're pursuing financial
remunerations for the injuries—

1116
01:15:18,134 --> 01:15:19,554
I got a play to do!

1117
01:15:19,844 --> 01:15:21,434
Sir, you can't go in there!

1118
01:15:21,846 --> 01:15:24,636
Actors equity is a very
strong union, sir!

1119
01:15:35,067 --> 01:15:38,897
Knock, knock, knock!
Terri! Terri!

1120
01:15:39,071 --> 01:15:40,281
Ed?

1121
01:15:42,199 --> 01:15:43,619
What are you doing here?

1122
01:15:43,826 --> 01:15:46,406
Why? I just need
you to tell me why?

1123
01:15:46,704 --> 01:15:48,294
Take it easy, ed. I
know this is hard.

1124
01:15:48,622 --> 01:15:50,212
Shut up! Fuck you! Shut up!

1125
01:15:50,499 --> 01:15:51,499
Shut up!

1126
01:15:51,834 --> 01:15:53,294
Eddie, please!

1127
01:15:56,881 --> 01:15:58,671
What's wrong with me?

1128
01:16:00,051 --> 01:16:03,891
Why do I always... Beg
people to love me?

1129
01:16:04,055 --> 01:16:07,855
Eddie, please, just... Just
give me the gun.

1130
01:16:09,935 --> 01:16:11,935
I just wanted to be
what you wanted.

1131
01:16:12,104 --> 01:16:15,524
Now I spend every fucking day...

1132
01:16:15,941 --> 01:16:17,941
trying to be
somebody I'm not!

1133
01:16:18,027 --> 01:16:20,447
Put the gun down. She
doesn't love you!

1134
01:16:21,113 --> 01:16:22,113
Eddie.

1135
01:16:22,531 --> 01:16:25,331
Look at me. I was drowning.

1136
01:16:25,951 --> 01:16:28,541
I'm just not capable
of that kind of—

1137
01:16:29,330 --> 01:16:32,120
you deserve to be loved, Eddie.
You do.

1138
01:16:32,541 --> 01:16:34,541
I just wanted to be
what you wanted.

1139
01:16:34,919 --> 01:16:37,299
Mr. roth? Okay, don't
leave, please.

1140
01:16:37,713 --> 01:16:39,513
Is that a threat?
What wheelchair?

1141
01:16:39,924 --> 01:16:42,724
Okay, Mr. roth, please hear me out.
Will you?

1142
01:16:42,802 --> 01:16:45,222
Don't hang up. Don't hang up.

1143
01:16:45,513 --> 01:16:50,103
Give me 10 minutes to grab my things, give
me 10 minutes and we can— don't hang up.

1144
01:16:50,768 --> 01:16:53,148
Goddamn it! The
motherfucker hung up!

1145
01:17:42,611 --> 01:17:43,611
Dad.

1146
01:17:45,614 --> 01:17:47,034
Dad!

1147
01:17:47,825 --> 01:17:50,205
- Are you... Okay?
- Why?

1148
01:17:50,995 --> 01:17:53,215
You seem sort of...

1149
01:17:53,497 --> 01:17:55,617
No, I'm good, I'm good.

1150
01:17:55,916 --> 01:17:57,916
This is good. You want some?

1151
01:17:58,002 --> 01:17:59,212
No.

1152
01:18:00,963 --> 01:18:04,383
Do you really think you'll be
ready for opening tomorrow?

1153
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:05,970
Yeah. Yep.

1154
01:18:07,803 --> 01:18:10,013
Yeah, well, I mean...

1155
01:18:10,431 --> 01:18:12,663
previews were pretty
much a train wreck.

1156
01:18:12,675 --> 01:18:15,021
We can't seem to get
through a performance...

1157
01:18:15,853 --> 01:18:20,023
without a raging fire or a
raging hard-on. I'm broke.

1158
01:18:20,441 --> 01:18:23,241
I'm not sleeping, like,
you know... At all.

1159
01:18:23,652 --> 01:18:28,242
And, uh, this play is kind
of starting to feel like...

1160
01:18:28,657 --> 01:18:32,867
a miniature, deformed version
of myself that just keeps...

1161
01:18:33,037 --> 01:18:35,037
following me
around and, like...

1162
01:18:35,664 --> 01:18:39,674
hitting me in the balls with,
like, a tiny little hammer.

1163
01:18:41,670 --> 01:18:43,210
I'm sorry, what
was the question?

1164
01:18:43,631 --> 01:18:45,051
Never mind.

1165
01:18:45,508 --> 01:18:47,088
Tonight wasn't bad.

1166
01:18:47,843 --> 01:18:50,013
- I know.
- It was weird, but it was kind of cool.

1167
01:18:50,429 --> 01:18:53,059
- Yeah, really?
- Yeah, I think people liked it.

1168
01:18:54,058 --> 01:18:56,268
What are you doing? Homework?

1169
01:18:56,685 --> 01:18:58,095
No, I don't—

1170
01:18:58,270 --> 01:19:01,270
no, um— when I was in
rehab, they made us do this.

1171
01:19:01,565 --> 01:19:02,765
Really? What is it?

1172
01:19:03,109 --> 01:19:08,109
These dashes represent the six billion
years that the earth has been around.

1173
01:19:08,364 --> 01:19:11,494
So, each dash represents
a thousand years.

1174
01:19:11,784 --> 01:19:16,214
And this... Is how long
humans have been here.

1175
01:19:17,123 --> 01:19:19,123
150,000 years.

1176
01:19:20,126 --> 01:19:22,311
I think they're trying
to remind us that that's

1177
01:19:22,323 --> 01:19:24,246
all our ego and
self-obsession are worth.

1178
01:19:29,093 --> 01:19:31,053
I was a shitty father, wasn't I?

1179
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:34,060
No, you were...

1180
01:19:36,726 --> 01:19:38,096
You were fine.

1181
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:42,150
That's right, I was... I
was just fine.

1182
01:19:45,526 --> 01:19:46,936
I can't...

1183
01:19:47,236 --> 01:19:48,236
Dad?

1184
01:19:49,155 --> 01:19:50,745
Oh, shoot. I'm sorry.

1185
01:19:51,031 --> 01:19:54,201
You just wiped out the
entire human race.

1186
01:19:55,161 --> 01:19:57,541
There it goes. I'm sorry.

1187
01:20:01,042 --> 01:20:03,632
You're becoming a
trending topic.

1188
01:20:03,961 --> 01:20:05,051
Really?

1189
01:20:06,505 --> 01:20:09,925
I should probably tell you about
this before anybody else does.

1190
01:20:13,304 --> 01:20:17,144
350,000 views in
less than an hour.

1191
01:20:18,976 --> 01:20:20,186
Fuck.

1192
01:20:22,563 --> 01:20:25,363
Believe or not, this is power.

1193
01:20:30,196 --> 01:20:31,986
Hey, look, it's riggan thomson!

1194
01:20:32,156 --> 01:20:33,986
Look at that!

1195
01:20:34,158 --> 01:20:37,288
One million, three hundred
thousand hits in the last 2 hours.

1196
01:20:37,370 --> 01:20:39,160
That's birdman actor
riggan thomson.

1197
01:20:39,455 --> 01:20:41,085
Give me another one.

1198
01:20:41,791 --> 01:20:42,881
You got it.

1199
01:20:43,209 --> 01:20:44,379
That takes a lot of balls.

1200
01:20:44,668 --> 01:20:46,458
- Or not.
- Ouch!

1201
01:20:46,796 --> 01:20:48,836
What do you have to do
to get a job these days?

1202
01:20:49,173 --> 01:20:51,343
Why must actors have
to resort to this?

1203
01:20:52,343 --> 01:20:54,973
That's going over to Ms.
Dickinson.

1204
01:20:55,137 --> 01:20:57,177
Give me a minute.

1205
01:21:01,394 --> 01:21:05,024
Hey, that's on me. She's
a friend of mine.

1206
01:21:05,398 --> 01:21:07,228
Okay. No problem.

1207
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:08,610
Thank you.

1208
01:21:19,995 --> 01:21:21,155
That was...

1209
01:21:21,580 --> 01:21:24,580
twenty years before I put
on that goddamn outfit.

1210
01:21:24,917 --> 01:21:26,287
I don't care.

1211
01:21:28,754 --> 01:21:30,764
Okay. I was just...

1212
01:21:32,133 --> 01:21:34,343
You know, before you
come tomorrow night.

1213
01:21:34,677 --> 01:21:36,137
It doesn't matter.

1214
01:21:39,807 --> 01:21:42,017
I'm going to destroy your play.

1215
01:21:43,227 --> 01:21:46,607
But you didn't even see it. Did
I do something to offend you?

1216
01:21:46,939 --> 01:21:48,519
Actually, you did.

1217
01:21:48,816 --> 01:21:53,146
You occupied a theater which might have
been used on something worthwhile.

1218
01:21:54,405 --> 01:21:58,625
Okay. But you don't even know
if it's any good or not.

1219
01:21:59,035 --> 01:22:03,255
That's true. I haven't read a word
of it, or even seen a preview...

1220
01:22:03,414 --> 01:22:04,924
but after the
opening tomorrow,

1221
01:22:04,999 --> 01:22:08,419
I'm going to turn in the worst
review anybody has ever read.

1222
01:22:09,211 --> 01:22:11,171
And I'm going to
close your play.

1223
01:22:12,006 --> 01:22:13,586
Would you like to know why?

1224
01:22:14,216 --> 01:22:18,216
Because I hate you, and
everyone you represent.

1225
01:22:18,596 --> 01:22:22,176
Entitled, selfish,
spoiled children.

1226
01:22:23,267 --> 01:22:26,847
Blissfully untrained,
unversed and unprepared...

1227
01:22:27,271 --> 01:22:29,271
to even attempt real art.

1228
01:22:29,440 --> 01:22:33,240
Handing each other awards for
cartoons and pornography.

1229
01:22:33,569 --> 01:22:36,239
Measuring your
worth in weekends?

1230
01:22:36,864 --> 01:22:38,454
Well, this is the theater.

1231
01:22:38,783 --> 01:22:42,243
You don't get to come here and pretend
you can write, direct and act...

1232
01:22:42,578 --> 01:22:46,368
in your own propaganda piece
without coming through me first.

1233
01:22:47,458 --> 01:22:49,328
So break a leg.

1234
01:22:51,712 --> 01:22:56,682
Wow. So what has to happen in a person's
life for them to become a critic, anyway?

1235
01:22:57,468 --> 01:22:59,258
What are you writing, a review?

1236
01:22:59,678 --> 01:23:01,258
Is it any good?

1237
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:05,100
Is it bad? Did you even see it?
Let me read it.

1238
01:23:05,434 --> 01:23:06,602
I will call the police.

1239
01:23:06,614 --> 01:23:09,024
No, you won't. Let's
read your fucking review.

1240
01:23:09,355 --> 01:23:11,735
"Callow." Callow is a label.

1241
01:23:12,525 --> 01:23:14,745
"Lackluster." That's
just a label.

1242
01:23:15,152 --> 01:23:19,952
"Marginalia"? Are you kidding me? It sounds
like you need penicillin to clear that up.

1243
01:23:20,366 --> 01:23:23,736
That's a label, too. These are all labels.
You just label everything.

1244
01:23:24,161 --> 01:23:28,331
That's so fucking lazy.
You're a lazy fucker.

1245
01:23:28,749 --> 01:23:29,959
You're a lazy—

1246
01:23:30,376 --> 01:23:33,376
do you know what this is? Do
you even know what it is?

1247
01:23:35,381 --> 01:23:39,381
Because you can't see this thing
if you don't know how to label it.

1248
01:23:39,719 --> 01:23:43,599
You mistake those noises in
your head for true knowledge.

1249
01:23:43,973 --> 01:23:45,473
- Are you finished?
- No.

1250
01:23:45,558 --> 01:23:48,348
There's nothing in here about
technique, about structure...

1251
01:23:48,644 --> 01:23:52,064
about intention. It's just
a bunch of crappy opinions...

1252
01:23:52,398 --> 01:23:55,398
backed up by even
crappier comparisons.

1253
01:23:55,568 --> 01:23:58,398
You write a couple paragraphs,
and you know what?

1254
01:23:58,446 --> 01:24:01,566
None of this costs you
fucking anything.

1255
01:24:02,408 --> 01:24:05,408
You risk nothing. Nothing,
nothing, nothing!

1256
01:24:05,578 --> 01:24:07,578
Well, I'm a fucking actor.

1257
01:24:11,208 --> 01:24:13,378
This play cost me everything.

1258
01:24:15,421 --> 01:24:18,341
So I'll tell you what.
You take this fucking...

1259
01:24:18,758 --> 01:24:21,178
malicious, cowardly...

1260
01:24:21,343 --> 01:24:25,763
shittily written review and you
shove it right the fuck up...

1261
01:24:26,223 --> 01:24:29,813
your wrinkly... Tight ass.

1262
01:24:34,815 --> 01:24:38,815
You're no actor, you're a celebrity.
Let's be clear on that.

1263
01:24:45,242 --> 01:24:47,242
I'm going to kill your play.

1264
01:25:19,652 --> 01:25:21,492
Tomorrow...

1265
01:25:22,279 --> 01:25:25,069
and tomorrow...

1266
01:25:26,075 --> 01:25:27,875
and tomorrow,

1267
01:25:29,495 --> 01:25:32,085
creeps in this...

1268
01:25:34,291 --> 01:25:36,501
petty pace...

1269
01:25:37,294 --> 01:25:39,464
from day to day...

1270
01:25:41,257 --> 01:25:44,257
to the last... Syllable...

1271
01:25:46,262 --> 01:25:48,432
of recorded time;

1272
01:25:50,516 --> 01:25:51,886
and...

1273
01:25:53,102 --> 01:25:56,902
all of our yesterdays...

1274
01:25:58,691 --> 01:26:00,531
have lighted...

1275
01:26:01,485 --> 01:26:03,315
fools...

1276
01:26:05,698 --> 01:26:07,528
A pint of whiskey, please.

1277
01:26:07,575 --> 01:26:09,795
the way to dusty death.

1278
01:26:10,494 --> 01:26:13,544
Out... Out...

1279
01:26:14,915 --> 01:26:16,495
$6.50, my friend.

1280
01:26:16,917 --> 01:26:18,337
$6.50.

1281
01:26:20,337 --> 01:26:22,877
Here... I don't know what
that is, just take it.

1282
01:26:23,883 --> 01:26:25,093
But your—

1283
01:26:25,676 --> 01:26:28,506
life is but a walking shadow,

1284
01:26:30,347 --> 01:26:31,927
a poor...

1285
01:26:32,516 --> 01:26:33,926
player...

1286
01:26:35,144 --> 01:26:39,734
that struts and frets
his hour upon the stage...

1287
01:26:40,566 --> 01:26:42,356
and then is heard...

1288
01:26:43,569 --> 01:26:44,949
no more!

1289
01:26:45,571 --> 01:26:47,161
It is a tale...

1290
01:26:47,531 --> 01:26:51,371
told by an idiot...

1291
01:26:52,536 --> 01:26:55,576
full of sound and fury...

1292
01:26:56,582 --> 01:27:00,592
signifying nothing!

1293
01:27:03,923 --> 01:27:06,553
Where you going, man?
Was that too much?

1294
01:27:06,926 --> 01:27:08,926
I was just trying to
give you a range.

1295
01:27:09,220 --> 01:27:11,415
It's a little bit too much.
I can tell, because

1296
01:27:11,427 --> 01:27:13,220
you— I just want to
give you a range.

1297
01:27:13,599 --> 01:27:16,769
That was a little too much.
It was a little too much.

1298
01:28:10,614 --> 01:28:14,454
God, you look like
shit, brother.

1299
01:28:14,827 --> 01:28:18,457
You get that mongoloid look
when you're hung over.

1300
01:28:21,250 --> 01:28:23,670
Let's go. Come on. Get up.

1301
01:28:24,045 --> 01:28:25,845
It's a beautiful day.

1302
01:28:26,422 --> 01:28:30,632
Forget about the
times... Everyone else has.

1303
01:28:31,218 --> 01:28:33,218
Come on. Stand up!

1304
01:28:34,638 --> 01:28:39,428
So you're not a great actor. Who cares?
You're much more than that.

1305
01:28:39,643 --> 01:28:43,483
You tower over these other
theater douchebags.

1306
01:28:43,647 --> 01:28:45,477
You're a movie star, man!

1307
01:28:45,566 --> 01:28:48,486
You're a global force!
Don't you get it?

1308
01:28:48,569 --> 01:28:52,989
You spent your life building a bank account
and a reputation—and you blew 'em both.

1309
01:28:53,282 --> 01:28:54,412
Good for you.

1310
01:28:54,700 --> 01:28:57,331
Fuck it. We'll make a comeback.
They're waiting

1311
01:28:57,343 --> 01:28:59,710
for something huge.
Well, give it to them.

1312
01:28:59,997 --> 01:29:03,417
Shave off that pathetic goatee.
Get some surgery!

1313
01:29:03,709 --> 01:29:05,879
Sixty's the new
thirty, motherfucker.

1314
01:29:06,212 --> 01:29:09,972
You're the original. You paved
the way for these other clowns.

1315
01:29:10,257 --> 01:29:13,637
Give the people what they want—
old-fashioned apocalyptic porn.

1316
01:29:13,969 --> 01:29:15,969
The Phoenix rises.

1317
01:29:16,263 --> 01:29:18,473
Pimple-faced gamers
creaming in their pants.

1318
01:29:18,599 --> 01:29:23,439
A billion worldwide, guaranteed!
You are larger than life, man.

1319
01:29:23,729 --> 01:29:26,729
You save people from their
boring, miserable lives.

1320
01:29:26,899 --> 01:29:29,689
You make them jump,
laugh, shit their pants.

1321
01:29:30,027 --> 01:29:32,027
All you have to do is—

1322
01:29:42,748 --> 01:29:45,128
that's what I'm talking about.

1323
01:29:45,543 --> 01:29:48,133
Bones rattling! Big, loud, fast!

1324
01:29:48,546 --> 01:29:51,666
Look at these people, at their
eyes— they're sparkling.

1325
01:29:51,966 --> 01:29:55,386
They love this shit. They love blood.
They love action.

1326
01:29:55,720 --> 01:30:00,310
Not this talky, depressing,
philosophical bullshit.

1327
01:30:07,940 --> 01:30:09,360
Yes.

1328
01:30:09,775 --> 01:30:12,355
And the next time you screech...

1329
01:30:13,738 --> 01:30:17,368
it'll explode into
millions of eardrums.

1330
01:30:17,742 --> 01:30:21,952
You'll glimmer on thousands
of screens around the globe.

1331
01:30:22,371 --> 01:30:24,791
Another blockbuster.

1332
01:30:25,583 --> 01:30:27,753
You are a God.

1333
01:30:28,377 --> 01:30:31,757
See? There you go,
you motherfucker.

1334
01:30:31,922 --> 01:30:34,342
Gravity doesn't
even apply to you.

1335
01:30:34,633 --> 01:30:38,353
Wait till you see the faces of those
who thought we were finished.

1336
01:30:38,637 --> 01:30:42,807
Listen to me. Let's go back one more time
and show them what we're capable of.

1337
01:30:43,184 --> 01:30:47,774
We have to end it on our own terms...
With a grand gesture.

1338
01:30:48,064 --> 01:30:50,904
Flames. Sacrifice.

1339
01:30:51,609 --> 01:30:52,819
Icarus.

1340
01:30:53,402 --> 01:30:54,992
You can do it.

1341
01:30:55,404 --> 01:30:56,824
You hear me?

1342
01:30:57,198 --> 01:30:59,777
You are— birdman!

1343
01:31:04,205 --> 01:31:08,215
Hey! Is this for real, or
are you shooting a film?

1344
01:31:09,835 --> 01:31:11,415
A film!

1345
01:31:11,796 --> 01:31:14,376
You people are full of shit!

1346
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:17,760
Hey, man, can I help you?

1347
01:31:18,969 --> 01:31:20,049
Be careful.

1348
01:31:20,388 --> 01:31:22,758
Sorry, I can't talk. I'm late.

1349
01:31:23,641 --> 01:31:24,811
Music.

1350
01:31:29,230 --> 01:31:30,650
You okay, man?

1351
01:31:32,650 --> 01:31:34,650
You want me to call
somebody for you?

1352
01:31:36,654 --> 01:31:38,034
Do you know where to go?

1353
01:31:42,034 --> 01:31:43,124
Yeah.

1354
01:31:44,036 --> 01:31:45,446
I know where to go.

1355
01:32:31,459 --> 01:32:32,879
You see?

1356
01:32:33,836 --> 01:32:36,166
This is where you belong.

1357
01:32:40,009 --> 01:32:41,839
Above them all.

1358
01:33:43,906 --> 01:33:46,946
- Stop the music.
- I beg your pardon?

1359
01:33:47,326 --> 01:33:49,326
Sir, you did not pay me!

1360
01:33:49,745 --> 01:33:53,115
What are you doing?
Where are you going?

1361
01:33:53,541 --> 01:33:56,341
This guy didn't pay me.
He's fucking crazy!

1362
01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:33,370
- Not a bad first act, huh?
- Not bad at all.

1363
01:34:33,706 --> 01:34:34,916
It's going really well.

1364
01:34:34,957 --> 01:34:37,167
I didn't think he
could do Broadway.

1365
01:34:37,793 --> 01:34:38,963
I never would have expected it.

1366
01:34:39,170 --> 01:34:40,590
If the 2nd act is
half as good...

1367
01:34:41,005 --> 01:34:42,345
It's pretty glorious.

1368
01:34:42,548 --> 01:34:44,548
What do we talk about when we
talk about riggan thomson?

1369
01:34:44,759 --> 01:34:45,879
How long is the intermission?

1370
01:34:46,093 --> 01:34:47,553
Birdman can act.

1371
01:35:09,992 --> 01:35:15,162
It's going great out there. You're so good.
I mean it. I really mean it.

1372
01:35:15,206 --> 01:35:18,206
Places for the final
scene, riggan.

1373
01:35:18,542 --> 01:35:21,422
- Do you need to...?
- No, it's fine. Just sit here for a second.

1374
01:35:21,754 --> 01:35:23,764
Look at all these roses.

1375
01:35:24,006 --> 01:35:26,376
- I hate roses.
- And you hate roses.

1376
01:35:28,386 --> 01:35:30,596
Are you okay? You seem...

1377
01:35:31,180 --> 01:35:34,600
I don't know, you
seem abnormally calm.

1378
01:35:36,644 --> 01:35:38,024
I am calm.

1379
01:35:39,021 --> 01:35:41,061
I'm great, actually.

1380
01:35:44,568 --> 01:35:48,988
I got this little voice...
Talks to me sometimes.

1381
01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:51,070
Tells me the truth.

1382
01:35:51,242 --> 01:35:52,662
It's comforting.

1383
01:35:53,035 --> 01:35:55,035
Kind of scary, but
it is comforting.

1384
01:35:55,663 --> 01:35:58,059
I'm going to pretend I
didn't hear you say that.

1385
01:35:58,071 --> 01:35:58,873
Okay.

1386
01:35:59,250 --> 01:36:01,693
You wouldn't believe the
crowd outside. They

1387
01:36:01,705 --> 01:36:04,050
said some people paid
up to $500 a ticket.

1388
01:36:04,672 --> 01:36:05,842
Really?

1389
01:36:09,635 --> 01:36:11,425
Can I tell you something funny?

1390
01:36:13,139 --> 01:36:15,219
Remember our last
anniversary party?

1391
01:36:15,266 --> 01:36:18,886
- Seriously? You want to ruin a nice moment?
- Do you remember?

1392
01:36:19,228 --> 01:36:22,608
- You fucked Janet rossbach in our bed.
- Skip over that part.

1393
01:36:22,898 --> 01:36:23,898
Gladly.

1394
01:36:24,066 --> 01:36:26,313
You threw all the guests
out of the house and

1395
01:36:26,325 --> 01:36:28,486
you threw all the
furniture out the window.

1396
01:36:28,821 --> 01:36:30,411
- I remember.
- Locked yourself in the bathroom.

1397
01:36:30,698 --> 01:36:32,278
Why are we talking about...?

1398
01:36:32,616 --> 01:36:34,026
I drove out to...

1399
01:36:34,410 --> 01:36:35,830
Malibu.

1400
01:36:36,704 --> 01:36:40,504
I just sat on the beach for a
while, looking out at the ocean.

1401
01:36:40,833 --> 01:36:41,833
Riggan.

1402
01:36:42,126 --> 01:36:43,706
And I walked...

1403
01:36:44,128 --> 01:36:45,918
straight into the water.

1404
01:36:50,885 --> 01:36:52,895
And then I tried
to drown myself.

1405
01:36:58,142 --> 01:37:00,522
I was up to my chest when
I felt the first one.

1406
01:37:00,936 --> 01:37:03,378
On my back, it was like
somebody was holding

1407
01:37:03,390 --> 01:37:05,516
a frying pan to me
and really burning.

1408
01:37:05,858 --> 01:37:09,238
And then they were on my
chest and all over my legs.

1409
01:37:10,112 --> 01:37:12,782
The water was full of jellyfish.

1410
01:37:15,201 --> 01:37:16,201
They were all over me.

1411
01:37:16,285 --> 01:37:20,205
I had to fight my way out of the
water and went up to the beach.

1412
01:37:20,373 --> 01:37:24,003
I was rolling around like
a maniac in the sand...

1413
01:37:24,668 --> 01:37:26,088
crying.

1414
01:37:27,588 --> 01:37:29,548
You said it was a sunburn.

1415
01:37:30,758 --> 01:37:33,758
I know. And you believed me.

1416
01:37:34,136 --> 01:37:36,346
To be honest, I
didn't give a shit.

1417
01:37:45,022 --> 01:37:46,192
I love you.

1418
01:37:50,236 --> 01:37:52,396
- And I love Sam.
- I know.

1419
01:37:56,200 --> 01:37:58,830
I really wish I hadn't
videotaped her birth.

1420
01:37:59,245 --> 01:38:00,205
Why?

1421
01:38:00,621 --> 01:38:01,621
'Cause...

1422
01:38:02,832 --> 01:38:04,832
I missed the moment, really.

1423
01:38:05,251 --> 01:38:09,051
I don't have it. I should have just
been there with the two of you.

1424
01:38:09,213 --> 01:38:13,223
You know... Just the three of us.

1425
01:38:16,387 --> 01:38:17,797
But I wasn't.

1426
01:38:18,097 --> 01:38:21,307
I wasn't even present in my own
life, and now I don't have it...

1427
01:38:21,434 --> 01:38:23,274
and I'm never
going to have it.

1428
01:38:23,436 --> 01:38:26,436
- You have Sam.
- Not really, I don't. I mean, she's...

1429
01:38:26,856 --> 01:38:28,646
No, she's just going through—

1430
01:38:29,066 --> 01:38:32,646
no, I get it, I understand.
She needed to have a dad...

1431
01:38:32,945 --> 01:38:35,945
and instead she got
this guy who was a...

1432
01:38:40,536 --> 01:38:42,536
There are things more
pathetic than that.

1433
01:38:42,872 --> 01:38:45,252
- Yeah, like?
- That moustache.

1434
01:38:50,671 --> 01:38:55,631
Riggan, we are in the motel. Last
scene has started. You're not here.

1435
01:38:56,052 --> 01:38:58,052
Last chance for "places."

1436
01:38:58,512 --> 01:39:00,432
You better get
back to your seat.

1437
01:39:20,951 --> 01:39:25,541
Twenty little leopards
laughed at two lofty lions.

1438
01:39:25,956 --> 01:39:28,956
Twenty little leopards
laughed at two lofty lions.

1439
01:39:29,377 --> 01:39:33,377
Twenty little leopards
laughed at two lofty lions.

1440
01:40:04,829 --> 01:40:06,829
Break a leg, Mr. thomson.

1441
01:40:36,318 --> 01:40:38,148
Let me put the blood rig on.

1442
01:40:44,076 --> 01:40:45,486
Riggan!

1443
01:40:55,087 --> 01:40:56,297
Terri!

1444
01:40:56,672 --> 01:40:57,842
Terri!

1445
01:40:58,924 --> 01:41:00,474
Eddie! What are you doing here?

1446
01:41:00,509 --> 01:41:03,429
Why? I just want you
to tell me why.

1447
01:41:03,721 --> 01:41:05,851
- Shut up!
- Eddie, please!

1448
01:41:06,766 --> 01:41:08,346
What's the matter with me?

1449
01:41:08,684 --> 01:41:12,524
Tell me. Why do I always have
to beg people to love me?

1450
01:41:12,688 --> 01:41:14,518
Eddie, please, give me the gun.

1451
01:41:14,690 --> 01:41:17,480
It was me. I was drowning.
I'm just not capable of—

1452
01:41:17,902 --> 01:41:21,322
you deserve to be loved, Eddie.
You do.

1453
01:41:22,782 --> 01:41:26,492
I just wanted to be what you wanted.
What you wanted.

1454
01:41:26,786 --> 01:41:31,206
Now I spend every fucking minute trying
to be something else, something I'm not.

1455
01:41:31,540 --> 01:41:34,710
Just put the gun down, ed. She
doesn't love you anymore.

1456
01:41:37,338 --> 01:41:38,918
You don't, do you?

1457
01:41:39,340 --> 01:41:41,470
- No.
- And you never will.

1458
01:41:42,510 --> 01:41:43,680
I'm sorry.

1459
01:41:55,356 --> 01:41:56,516
I don't exist.

1460
01:42:00,361 --> 01:42:01,951
I'm not even here.

1461
01:42:03,364 --> 01:42:04,744
I'm not even here.

1462
01:42:05,408 --> 01:42:06,528
Bang!

1463
01:42:18,963 --> 01:42:19,963
Bang!

1464
01:44:13,869 --> 01:44:15,289
Is he up?

1465
01:44:15,621 --> 01:44:17,081
He just woke up.

1466
01:44:22,670 --> 01:44:24,710
I thought I lost you, buddy.

1467
01:44:26,298 --> 01:44:27,838
What the hell happened?

1468
01:44:28,843 --> 01:44:31,643
I was watching you onstage
and all of a sudden...

1469
01:44:32,054 --> 01:44:35,274
you had that goofy look
in your eye and you just...

1470
01:44:35,641 --> 01:44:37,101
What is wrong with you?
He tried to—

1471
01:44:37,435 --> 01:44:41,655
I'm happy! He's alive! My
best friend is alive! And...

1472
01:44:42,440 --> 01:44:44,230
he's the fucking
man of the hour.

1473
01:44:44,525 --> 01:44:46,695
- What is that?
- You have to be shitting me.

1474
01:44:47,319 --> 01:44:48,319
Read it.

1475
01:44:48,654 --> 01:44:51,744
I don't believe this. "The
unexpected virtue of ignorance"?

1476
01:44:51,824 --> 01:44:52,824
Read it.

1477
01:44:53,325 --> 01:44:55,905
- "By Tabitha Dickinson."
- Read it out loud!

1478
01:44:56,746 --> 01:45:01,536
"Thomson has unwittingly given birth to a
new form, which can only be described as...

1479
01:45:01,625 --> 01:45:03,535
"... super-realism.

1480
01:45:03,627 --> 01:45:05,639
"Blood was spilled
both literally and

1481
01:45:05,651 --> 01:45:08,047
metaphorically by artist
and audience alike.

1482
01:45:08,299 --> 01:45:09,719
"Real blood.

1483
01:45:09,800 --> 01:45:14,430
"The blood that has been sorely missing
from the veins of American theater..."

1484
01:45:15,723 --> 01:45:17,723
You're happy about this?

1485
01:45:18,142 --> 01:45:20,102
Happy? I'm fucking euphoric!

1486
01:45:20,186 --> 01:45:22,726
This is the kind of review that
turns people into living legends!

1487
01:45:23,064 --> 01:45:24,654
He shot the nose off his face!

1488
01:45:24,940 --> 01:45:29,360
He got a new nose! And if doesn't like
that one, we'll get him a new one!

1489
01:45:29,737 --> 01:45:31,737
We'll use Meg Ryan's guy.
Who cares?

1490
01:45:32,031 --> 01:45:35,621
They're lighting candles for him
in central park. Turn on the TV.

1491
01:45:37,620 --> 01:45:38,620
—A vigil for actor
riggan thomson.

1492
01:45:38,954 --> 01:45:42,584
They're praying for him all over the
country. He did it. You did it!

1493
01:45:43,584 --> 01:45:46,804
I've been reborn, brother.
And I can see the future.

1494
01:45:46,962 --> 01:45:51,012
This play is going to last forever.
It's going to open in London, Paris.

1495
01:45:51,342 --> 01:45:54,012
The studio will call, we're going
to get book deals—you'll see.

1496
01:45:57,973 --> 01:46:01,183
How about that, huh? Did
you see that coming?

1497
01:46:02,395 --> 01:46:03,985
Why aren't you saying anything?

1498
01:46:04,980 --> 01:46:06,770
This is what you
wanted, wasn't it?

1499
01:46:07,400 --> 01:46:09,190
Riggan, this is what you wanted.

1500
01:46:11,404 --> 01:46:12,614
Yeah.

1501
01:46:12,822 --> 01:46:14,742
Yeah, this is what I wanted.

1502
01:46:14,782 --> 01:46:19,792
Okay, listen. You're going to get hit
with a "brandishing a weapon" charge.

1503
01:46:20,079 --> 01:46:22,709
If anybody talks to you about
it, it was an accident.

1504
01:46:22,790 --> 01:46:24,630
Is that what this was?

1505
01:46:25,626 --> 01:46:27,626
- An accident?
- An accident.

1506
01:46:28,295 --> 01:46:29,295
Did you intend to
shoot yourself!

1507
01:46:29,630 --> 01:46:33,800
You motherfuckers, this is a hospital!
Get the fuck out of here!

1508
01:46:33,968 --> 01:46:36,178
This is a hospital!

1509
01:46:36,804 --> 01:46:39,394
Get the fuck out, you assholes!

1510
01:46:39,849 --> 01:46:44,849
Out! This is a personal matter!
A personal matter!

1511
01:46:46,522 --> 01:46:51,322
Hey, Sam! What did you feel like the
night your father tried to kill himself?

1512
01:47:18,220 --> 01:47:19,640
Lilacs.

1513
01:47:28,064 --> 01:47:29,904
Are you laughing?

1514
01:47:30,066 --> 01:47:31,476
What's so funny?

1515
01:47:33,069 --> 01:47:34,899
I can't smell them.

1516
01:47:41,285 --> 01:47:42,106
What are you doing?

1517
01:47:42,118 --> 01:47:44,075
Posting a photo of you
on your Twitter page.

1518
01:47:44,372 --> 01:47:47,502
- I have a Twitter page?
- Yeah, I set it up today.

1519
01:47:47,958 --> 01:47:50,918
- Let me see.
- No way. You look hideous.

1520
01:47:50,961 --> 01:47:54,591
- Wow, thank you. I appreciate it.
- I'm just kidding.

1521
01:47:54,924 --> 01:47:57,264
No, I'm actually not.
You do look hideous.

1522
01:47:58,677 --> 01:48:01,887
You got 80,000 followers
in less than a day.

1523
01:48:02,056 --> 01:48:04,466
- Really?
- I'm going to scare the shit out of them.

1524
01:48:04,934 --> 01:48:06,894
- Let me look at it.
- It's done.

1525
01:48:11,315 --> 01:48:13,895
I'm going to get a
vase for the flowers.

1526
01:50:15,022 --> 01:50:17,442
Bye-bye... And fuck you.

1527
01:51:45,738 --> 01:51:46,738
Dad?

1528
01:51:48,741 --> 01:51:49,951
Dad?

1529
01:51:51,535 --> 01:51:52,615
Dad?
