I don't know.

I think I'm lost.

Dragonfly...

what happens in the end?

I don't know, but don't worry.

We're going to find out soon.

Hey, what happened?

Are you OK?

Was someone here?

I'm just sad.

I'm losing all my patience

with you.

You talk to your camera

night and days...

but you never talk to me.

Why don't

you say anything to me?

What should I say?

I don't know what to say.

I'm sorry you're sad.

Come here.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I don't know

if I have any ideas.

They want something that

I'm not sure I can give them.

Maybe I should just go to Rome

and tell them...

"I don't know what to do

with your idiotic story."

It's not even my film.

And this ending...

Paul, I'm glad

you're saying all this to me...

but I don't care about

the stupid film.

I care about us

like we used to be.

Come here. Come here.

Now go.

Go to Rome.

Do what you like...

but just remember that you

bring everything upon yourself.

That came for you.

You spent all your money

on a camera.

You are here.

These are good, don't you think?

It's very nice.

Not too bad. Sit down.

Good, good, good.

OK, so...

do you have

a great ending for me?

I recut most of the picture...

to make it

shorter and clearer.

And one of my ideas

is to take Mr. E's gun...

and make it

a little more special...

so it can temporarily

freeze people.

Freeze people. Sounds good.

And that's how

they plan to take over.

What about the ending?

The alley...

Dragonfly's running,

chasing after the guy.

What happens?

Well...

I have a few ideas.

That's the problem.

You got too many ideas.

We just need one good one.

Look, son, this is

my thirty-seventh picture.

I've worked with some

of the best in the business...

and I've learned

a few little tricks.

One of them is to always try

to make the audience...

wonder what's going to happen.

And then at the end,

you tell them...

but you surprise them

a little, eh?

Easy.

Look, it's New Year's Eve.

You are going to the party.

Come with us. Let's have fun.

Oh, my little monster.

Julietta.

Come on, come with us.

Paul, go ahead to the party.

Have a good time.

We'll be right back.

Valentine!

There you are. I've been

looking everywhere for you.

Listen, I know you've been

working on that ending...

which is exciting

because it got me thinking.

This ending has to be fabulous.

I imagine a new scene.

I'm parachuting

down to Earth...

Where did you go?

You just left me standing there.

Excuse me.

I'm talking to my director.

Thank you.

I think I'll just walk.

Hold on.

There you go.

- Are you English?

- American.

What are you doing here?

I don't know.

What are you doing here?

My friend is waiting for a boy.

He's in the army.

They haven't seen each other

for one year.

He wrote her and

say that he would run away...

from the army

and meet her here tonight.

It's a whole new decade...

but it still

feels the same to me.

So, let's hear it.

So, Dragonfly's

running through the tunnel.

She comes to the figure

hidden in the shadows.

And the figure emerges.

And the figure...

Your book!

That cats could talk.

I thought you had to be

totally honest in this film.

- Absolutely pretentious.

- Indulgent.

You're just f***ing blowing it.

This film is too fractured.

It's confusing.

It's an aggression

for your eyes, for my eyes.

Especially the shot

where you sit on the toilet.

Where's the story?

Where's the structure?

I don't care about this person.

Do you think you are clever?

I just wanted

to make something...

that would reflect

who I am, who I was.

It was a difficult

and confusing time.

What's the point?

What am I supposed to do?

And regarding that space project

you're involved in...

there's no snow on the moon.

- Wait!

- You should know that.

What should I do?

You need to connect things

so they make us feel something.

You surprised me.

I didn't see you there.

- You look beautiful.

- Thanks.

Would you please let me know if

I'm not doing something right?

It's my first day, so...

It'll be fine.

Remind me about the scene

in the story...

right before

the one we're shooting.

You... I mean, Dragonfly

had just barely escaped...

with this special gun

from the dark side of the moon.

How does my spaceship

get fixed?

I came to the moon

and fixed it for you.

Then you landed safely in Paris.

Landing successful.

Please notify the Corporation

that the mission's complete.

Affirmative.

You didn't knock.

I wanted to surprise you,

my darling.

Dragonfly

Tell me,

how can you resist her

Until your lips have kissed her

She'll be a mystery

Please don't try to stop me.

I'm sorry.

He kills me?

The gun doesn't work on you.

Why not?

I'll explain later,

but what happens...

is the gun actually

has a special property.

The revolution

depends on this weapon...

The gun freezes people.

Interesting.

So, what happens next?

Incoming call on cine-com.

Do you have possession

of the package? Please respond.

Affirmative.

I'm sorry.

Bring it down. You all right?

Sorry, I didn't realize...

I'm fine. My foot...

All right, we'll go again.

It was our fault.

Bring her up, please.

Someone stole the exposed film.

Paul, go.

Here.

Are you scared?

Oops.

- You OK?

- Yeah.

- You sure?

- I'm fine.

Go.

How could you betray me?

Destroy my artwork,

you little sh*t!

Do you think that you can

make a better ending...

by putting in your car chase?

What about the theme?

The story?

Have you

thought about that, Paul?

- I wasn't trying...

- Bullshit!

Don't move! I'm warning you!

I'm sorry.

It's a big opportunity for me...

You want

to know the real reason?

They are afraid about the film.

They're trying to keep

the youth rebellion suppressed.

A film can change

the course of the future.

It can invent the future

by making ideas concrete.

That's why when I heard

you were changing the ending...

I was forced to do this.

I had an idea.

I had a new idea for the ending,

that maybe she...

the Corporation, its center,

betrays her.

The revolutionary get

their weapon back in the end.

Promise me that, Paul.

I promise.

Good.

I've been working

on a personal film.

Personal film?

With no compromise, right?

- Right.

- We'll...

see about you.

I'm old.

I can go now and write

my personal work.

Now that I have something

to write about.

I have to ask...

Did you make love to her?

Did you cut the brakes

on Felix's car?

Remember, Paul...

always stand

next to the camera.

Your actor

will feel you there...

and will be playing

just for you.

I can't believe it.

Bravo! Did they catch him?

Who was the son of a b*tch

who stole the film?

Just some old guy.

It doesn't matter anyway.

We got it back.

It's all going to work out.

We'll get the final footage

tomorrow on the stage.

- You did good, Paul.

- Where's Valentine? Is she OK?

She was fine. In fact,

I think she enjoyed herself.

She just left in a rush.

She asked that you call her.
