- Mm.

Blanket.

- "He has forbidden... "

- Forbidden.

"He has resolved...

- He has endeavored to

prevent... " - Prevent.

"He has obstructed the

administration of justice. "

Justice!

"He has kept among us, in times

of peace, standing armies. "

"He has plundered

our seas.

"He has ravaged our coasts,

burned our towns... "

- What am i sitting on? - "... and

destroyed the lives of our people!

"He is transporting

large armies of death...

desolation...

- tyranny!"

- Tyranny!

"... scarcely paralleled in

the most barbarous ages

and totally unworthy the

head of a civilized nation. "

"And the unhappy moon

lights her lamp in vain... "

Oh, my God.

"A prince,

whose character is marked by

every act which defines a tyrant... "

- Cool. - "... is unfit... "

- This is horrible.

- "... to be the ruler of a

free people. " -This is sick.

- It's really dangerous.

- Oh, my god. - Will you stop talking?

All right, all right.

Just stop it. Stop it!

The stage is all yours.

Oh, my God.

What was that?

- Disturbing. - You can

say that again. - What?

Disturbing.

- All right, show's over.

- Art has spoken.

Peter, Eva.

Eva, Peter.

- Wonderful.

- Was it?

- Somebody find him.

Come back and have some cake.

- I got to go. - No, come on.

- Herb, come on.

- You could have kept your

mouth shut. - We're not lab rats.

What a mess.

Eric is such a mess.

I can't stop thinking...

can I take something for that?

No.

Useless.

You coming?

In a bit.

What's for lunch?

The usual...

cheese, fruit, beans.

Caviar.

Dreams.

What's happening

in the world?

Nothing worth repeating.

Louis... how's the time?

Stopped.

Boring, boring,

and more boring.

It's all so beautifully boring,

and then there's that.

Where's Eric?

- Johan, why do you have

to do that? - Do what?

Appear.

Have you seen Alex?

Not for a while.

We were gonna

check the nest.

What are you doing?

- What does it look like? - There's

no firing of guns on the property.

- Talk to Johan.

- I'm talking to you.

Ohh, brother.

Okay, if you see Alex,

tell her I waited.

You look ridiculous...

you know that?

- I do?

- Yeah.

Thank you.

Don't even think about it.

Think about what?

He's not like you.

What are you

talking about?

He'll eat you alive.

You're not making

any sense.

Well, you'll see.

Charge!

Light brigade.

Little horses.

Go.

Let me see that.

Wait. Hey, careful... it's loaded!

Oh, that is not okay!

- There... something happened.

- Yeah, you blew my ears out.

If you see Eric,

I'm at the blind.

That is not okay.

No firing guns

on the property!

What are you doing?!

Who are those children?

- Hey, kids, be careful.

- You're the one firing guns!

- Kids, get away from that cart!

- Don't worry...

these fillies are under

full disciplined control.

- Oh, my God. - Herb, stop!

- Stop that cart! - Whoa!

- Oh, God.

- Herb!

Oh, Herb!

Oh!

Are you all right?

Herb! Oh, it's not funny!

- It must be the water...

makes us all mad

as a box of frogs.

I love you.

You need to move.

- You could've killed this man!

- Oh, stop it, Mary. I'm all right.

- Where did you come from?

- They just showed up.

- Let's get you inside. - I'd like

to stay. - No. - Vetoed.

- Where did they come from?

- Who cares?

Demons.

Peter.

Peter, Peter, Peter.

How's the fishing?

Fine, I guess.

There's rods up

there in the shed.

I've always wanted

to learn how to fish.

It's dull...

Like everything

else around here...

Really, really dull.

She's spying on us.

Is she?

Why is that?

I don't think

she trusts us.

- What do you mean? - When you're

with someone long enough,

you begin to hear their

thoughts like your very own.

- We're just sitting here.

- Talking.

- And what's wrong with that?

- Oh, everything.

For example?

We could say things.

- Like what? - I could say

how attractive you are.

You could say

how famous I am.

Her imagination is vast.

Boring, boring.

I should get her inside.

Did I make you

uncomfortable?

No.

She does.

Gross.

If you don't put your dick down darling,

you'll run into something.

It's tempting, I know. You just want

to crawl inside that young vagina

and hide from the world,

but you'll be disappointed.

She has no experience,

no endurance,

no training, no muscle.

- You'll hate it.

- Mm.

- You will. - Mm-hmm.

Stop.

- No, come on.

- I said stop it. Stop it.

Sto...

Everything all right?

- Didn't see you.

- It happens.

- You okay?

- I'm fine. Thank you.

- This bother you?

- Nope.

How's Herb?

Wet.

He's the only one around

here who ever enjoys himself.

Can I tell you something?

- I'm leaving.

- Oh?

I'm getting old.

- Where are you going?

- Anywhere.

Then, by all means...

Do me a favor and

make sure Eric gets this.

We're leaving today!

I just have to

talk to Louis!

Are you deaf?!

You're scaring the fish.

Eva, would you go

down and help Peter?

He doesn't know what to

do with that rod of his.

- You don't mind, do you?

- Of course not.

I didn't think so.

- See you, Louis.

- Bon voyage.

You take a man

from the city,

put him in the country suddenly,

he's not so attractive anymore.

- You're playing with fire.

- I know what I'm doing.

Help him catch

something!

It would be lovely if the day

weren't a complete waste!

Little twit.

Herb... how is he?

I've known you for centuries. We

are incapable of lying to one another.

Doesn't mean

that we stop trying.

I need the truth.

It is a burnout.

His immune system

is crashing.

It fits the pattern.

It is not good.

But he doesn't want to talk about it,

not until after the weekend.

How much time do I have?

He has a year...

a few months...

- Month. No one knows.

- Less than a...

Oh. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

When I was young, it seemed

that life was so wonderful,

a miracle

Oh, it was

beautiful, magical#

And all the birds in the trees,

well, they'd be singing so happily

Oh, joyfully,

oh, playfully,

watching me

- Where are you taking me?

- Be patient.

Not my strong suit.

- If you could have anything in the world,

what would it be? - Sleep. - Weirdo.

- All right. A ride.

- I'm serious. - I'm serious.

I would have a ride

to the station.

- So call a cab. - Not so simple.

- It is that simple.

- What about you?

- What about me?

- What do you want?

- I want to get out of here.

- What's keeping you?

- No money and a sick aunt.

See?

Simple.

You seem pretty sure

of yourself. I'm not.

I guess I'm, uh... I don't know...

distracted, I lack discipline.

I'm lazy.

I don't... I worry.

Maybe others...

Maybe Elizabeth

knows what to do with me better

than I know what to do with myself.

I think too much.

That's why I can't call a cab...

- Not so simple.

- You're lonely.

I'm gonna do something.

Stop me if you want.

Thank you.

If you find your way out,

take me with you.

Deal.

- Promise?

- I promise.

Piece of advice...

don't hatch.

Ohh!

Aah!

Damn it.

Eric!

Damn it!

Don't fire without me!
