A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence Page #3
He can't get this song
out of his head.
- Do you feel troubled, Jonathan?
- Yes.
What's troubling you?
That I will have to meet
my parents again.
I don't get it.
My parents were very kind.
But I don't want to meet them
again in heaven.
Do you have to?
I hope not.
Shut the door if you're
playing music this late.
Some people get up early
for work tomorrow.
I've come to realize something.
I realize I've been greedy
my whole life.
Ungenerous.
And that's why
I've become so unhappy.
I've been greedy all my life.
Ungenerous.
And that's why
I've become so unhappy.
Show respect
to His Majesty the King!
His Majesty the King
needs to use your bathroom.
- Where is it?
- The green door, over there.
Your Majesty,
allow me to inspect it.
Your Majesty,
I'm afraid it's taken.
Too bad.
- Half the kingdom is lost.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
If we had only had
more horses...
And if it hadn't rained...
Rained? Did it rain?
I don't think so,
but it could have.
You never know what
that sly Russians are up to.
If they hadn't armed themselves
in secret, that sly Russians,
They armed themselves
in secret.
They must have.
Is that so?
You were widowed at Poltava.
You were widowed at Poltava.
A widow's veil was your gift.
You were widowed at Poltava.
A widow's veil
was your gift, too.
You were all widowed
at Poltava.
Widows' veils were your gifts.
The army of Charles XII
was a hundred thousand strong
The army of Charles XII
was a hundred thousand strong
The army of Charles XII
was a hundred thousand strong
as he marched
through smoke
on his road so long
What now?
- "What now?"
- Yes.
I'm the one who's hurt.
I'm supposed to wait for you?
No, what do you mean?
You're too slow.
You look like you're sleeping
while you walk.
You walk like a goddam zombie.
Like this...
No, I don't.
I walked like this...
casually.
You contradict
whatever I say.
- No, I don't.
- You just did it again.
You do it all the time.
I'm getting bloody tired of it.
And you have no business sense.
All we have are debts.
- But it was your idea.
- My idea?
What the hell does it matter?
You have no business sense anyway.
I'm so damn tired
of all this crap.
I don't want to do this
anymore.
But it was your idea.
It was your idea.
It was your idea.
It was your idea!
It was your idea.
She had stone in her shoe.
She had stone in her shoe.
- Yes, I saw that.
- That was nice.
What's nice about a stone
in your shoe?
It was nice
when she took it out.
If you don't mind me asking...
Could I interest you
in some novelty items?
I have a vampire teeth
you can have at half price.
You have no messages.
Jonathan.
Jonathan.
Listen, I'm sorry.
Very sorry.
Can you hear me? I'm sorry.
I've been mean.
I know that.
I regret it, Jonathan.
I really do.
Forgive me, Jonathan.
Can you forgive me?
It would make me happy
if you did, Jonathan.
I want us to be friends again.
You're the only friend I have,
Jonathan.
Otherwise, I'd be so lonely.
That can't be.
We have to stick together.
You've been mean.
I know, Jonathan.
- But I won't be from now on.
- Good.
Jonathan.
So we can do
big business tomorrow.
Good night.
Can you be quiet down there?
Some people get up early
for work tomorrow.
Today I feel kind.
Damn kind.
Yes.
Well, here we have only 3C.
Yes.
I'm happy to hear
you're doing fine.
I said I'm happy to hear
you're doing fine.
Yes.
What now?
What's wrong?
I thought
of something horrible.
Something horrible.
And I was involved.
- Involved in what?
- That horrible thing.
Explain yourself.
Have you been dreaming?
Was it a dream?
I'm not sure.
But it felt
like it had happened.
That's what scares me.
It was so horrible!
And no one has asked
for forgiveness, not even me.
No one has asked for forgiveness.
So what happened?
It's so horrible
I don't dare telling.
Then don't, you stubborn fool.
I can't make sense of you.
We're supposed to do business
tomorrow, we've decided.
Don't you want
to help people have fun?
Yes, I know.
Crybaby.
Is it right using people
only for your own pleasure?
Is it right using people
only for your own pleasure?
What the hell are you doing?
Is it right using people
only for your own pleasure?
I don't understand
what you're getting at.
He's just being
a little philosophical.
Alright.
in the middle of the night?
Some people get up early
for work tomorrow.
Good night then.
Good night.
And it's already
Wednesday again.
- Is it Wednesday today?
- Yes.
Is it Wednesday today?
It is.
I could swear it was Thursday.
But it's not.
- It sure isn't.
- No.
But it felt like Thursday.
You can't feel what day it is.
That's impossible.
You have to keep track of that.
Yesterday was Tuesday...
today is Wednesday.
And tomorrow will be Thursday.
If you don't keep track of that,
chaos will reign.
That's right.
And the Wednesday
is already gone...
Bye.
