Atomic Blonde Page #3

Different outfit?

Blue eyes shine

This time I think

that my lover

- Understands me

- Understands me

If we have faith

in each other

Then we can be

Strong, baby

- (grunting, groaning) - I

will be your father figure

Put your tiny hand in mine

I will be your

preacher teacher

Anything you have in mind

I will be your father figure

I have had enough of crime

I will be the one

who loves you

Till the end of time

(grunting and groaning continue)

If you are the desert,

I'll be the sea

If you ever hunger,

hunger for me

Whatever you ask for

That's what I'll be

(grunting and groaning continue)

So when you remember

The ones who have lied

(men groaning inside)

Who said that they cared

But then laughed

as you cried

(yells)

(grunting and groaning)

Beautiful darling

Don't think of me

Because all I ever wanted...

(officers shouting in German)

My love is always

telling me so

- Heaven is a kiss and

a smile -(gunfire)

Just hold on, hold on

- (grunts, screams)

- And I won't let you go...

(screaming)

(groans)

- (panting)

- I will be your father

I will be your

I will be your preacher

Hey! Halt!

I will be your father

I'll be your daddy, whoa

I will be the one

who loves you

(grunting and groaning)

(panting)

Till the end of time.

(gun clatters on sidewalk)

REPORTER :
With repeated calls

for change on the streets

and the protesters growing

ever more confident,

time is running out for the

East German government.

Popular opinion has it

that the Communists'

claim to leadership

can't be upheld much longer.

And if rapid change

is not forthcoming,

today's relatively calm protests

could be seen as the

calm before the storm.

It's not just new faces

that are called for,

but perhaps a complete

demolition of the wall.

(German punk rock song

playing over stereo)

(lock buzzes, clicks)

PERCIVAL :
Mmm.

Let me take your coat.

Make yourself at home.

F***ing hell.

PERCIVAL :
You want

a pair of jeans?

Help yourself.

(Percival coughs)

Hmm.

Your library includes

Larry Flynt?

Champion of free speech.

Hmm.

What have you found on Bakhtin?

Look, if Bakhtin wanted the

Russians to have that list,

he would have given

it to them by now.

We just have to wait for

him to make his move.

We can't afford to wait.

This is your city, Percival.

Or do you only know

doormen and bellhops?

So, what did you find in

Gascoigne's apartment?

Some Deutsche Marks,

empty passports, travel visas

and a picture of the two of you

together a few years back.

Did I not mention

that we were friends?

- No.

- No?

No, I must have forgot to.

Get your coat, love.

We're going for a walk.

PERCIVAL :
Look, we're all

exposed by that list.

(Percival coughs)

And saving the world

is cool and all that,

but my main objective

is staying alive.

I've been head of Berlin

Station for ten years.

You've got to know

that I'm the only man

in this town that can

help you get that list.

Yes, I've read your file.

I've also read your dog file.

So let's cut the crap, shall we?

This whole hungover,

show-up-late,

don't-know-which-way-is-up

act, I'm not buying it.

I trust you about as far

as I can throw you.

"It's a double pleasure

to deceive the deceiver."

Niccolo Machiavelli.

It was on your shelf.

Oh, my God, I think

I f***ing love you.

That's too bad.

If Percival was telling

the truth about Bakhtin,

I needed to figure out

what the Russians knew.

Zwei drei vier, one, two

three, it's easy to see

But it's not that

I don't care so

'Cause I hear

it all the time

But they never let you know

on the TV and the radio

She was young, her

heart was pure

But every night

is bright she got

She said sugar is sweet, she

come rappin' to the beat

Then I knew that she was hot

She was singin', don't

turn around, oh, oh

Schau schau, Der Kommissar's

in town, oh, oh

You're in his eye,

and you'll know why

The more you live, the

faster you will die

(quiet, indistinct chatter)

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?

Stoli on ice.

(song stops abruptly)

(piano playing "As

Time Goes By")

I'm not speaking German tonight.

So, you're British?

Very impressive.

This can't be your only talent.

Talents can be overrated.

A dedication...

a loyalty is very

rare these days.

Everyone here is

searching for something.

What are you looking for?

Well, when all's said and done,

wouldn't you say deep down

we're all just searching

for the same thing?

WOMAN :
I leave you alone

for only a moment,

and already you are

attracting admirers.

Monsieur, three is

not always a crowd,

but tonight it is.

BREMOVYCH :
Hmm.

French women.

What about the British?

Maybe we could make some

sort of, uh, arrangement.

We haven't seen each

other in a long time,

and we really need to catch up.

Alone.

Ladies, Berlin is a small place.

I'm sure our paths

will cross again.

Sorry.

You looked like you

needed saving.

Well, I appreciate

the gesture, Miss...

Lasalle.

Delphine Lasalle.

Pleased to meet you.

So, what do you do, Delphine?

I'm a part-time translator who

really wants to be a poet.

Maybe a rock star.

(chuckles)

My friend owns a club nearby.

Want to come check it out?

- Now?

- Sure.

I can't.

Well, I'll give you

the address anyway.

Come meet me there

tomorrow night?

Will you come?

Maybe?

You're relentless.

Oui.

(clamoring, cameras clicking)

David Hasselhoff's in town.

Lucky us.

Berlin is truly doomed.

(bells chiming)

(watches and clocks ticking)

Your watch is ready.

It's on the counter in

that plain envelope.

I think you'll find my

contact very useful.

("Cities in Dust" by Siouxsie

and the Banshees plays)

WATCHMAKER (over speaker):

Your watch is ready.

It's on the counter in

that plain envelope.

I think you'll find my

contact very useful.

REPORTER :
East Berliners stormed

the West German embassies

in Czechoslovakia

earlier this week, as

the Czech government

has begun to wave the refugees

through checkpoints

with few questions.

One has to ask how long the

East Berlin government

- can hold on...

- (news broadcast fades)

You were running out of time

Under the mountain,

a golden fountain

Were you praying at

the Lares shrine?

But oh

Oh, your city lies in dust

My friend

Oh...

LORRAINE :
Bakhtin and the list

had not yet surfaced

in the West.

I needed to meet my new contact

and see what I was up

against in the East.

(dogs barking in distance)

You should have applied

for a visitor's permit.

What kind of work do you do?

Legal affairs.

If you do not

return before 6:
00,

you will be arrested.

Do you understand?

I understand.

(dog barks, whimpers)

Right now I'm not

feeling very confident

about this story of yours.

Why not use Percival's

connections in the East?

He told me...

to trust no one.

(phone beeping)

BREMOVYCH :
Hello?

(door closes)

(door opens)

Go there.

(door closes)

(Russian dialogue playing

over theater speakers)

(Russian dialogue continues)

(fire alarm ringing)
