Enemy Page #3

Synopsis: Adam Bell is a Toronto area History college professor. He is a rather somber man, largely because he is stuck in a routine, which includes a relationship with his live-in girlfriend, Mary. While watching a rental movie, he spots an actor in a bit part that looks like him. He becomes obsessed with finding out about this double of his. He learns that the actor's stage name is Daniel Saint Claire, whose legal name is Anthony Claire. Claire is a Toronto based actor with only a few on-screen credits, and is married to a woman named Helen who is currently several months pregnant. Adam then becomes obsessed with meeting Claire, who he learns upon first sighting that they look exactly the same, from the facial hair to a scar each has, but Claire who outwardly is more "put together" than Adam. Their lives become intertwined as Claire himself ends up becoming obsessed with Adam, but in a slightly different way.

I've always had this.

- No. No!

Who are you?! Don't

touch me! Don't touch me!

- What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

- Don't touch me!

- What are you talking about?

- The ring!

The mark on your finger!

- What's wrong?

What's wrong?

- I just couldn't sleep.

- Yeah, I couldn't

sleep either.

I'm sorry.

- Why are you

doing this to me?

- What? What am I doing

to you?

- I want you to stay.

- Stop the car.

- Stop the car? Stop the car?!

I'll stop the f***ing car!

You want me to stop the car?!

Get out!

I'm sick of this sh*t!

I can't even talk to you.

- F*** you!

- You're behaving

like a child!

- You're not a man.

- I'm not a man?

I'm not a man?!

I'm not a f***ing man?!

Get out!

Get out of the f-

- Sunshine,

a high of 24 today.

Clear tonight

with a low of 13.

Here's James

with a look at traffic.

- The westbound Lake Shore is

closed between Bathurst and Strachan

as crews clean up debris from a collision

that happened early this morning.

Police have not released

any details at this time,

but we do know there was

only one vehicle-

- I forgot to tell you

that your mother called.

You should probably

call her back.

- OK.

Helen, did you plan

on doing something tonight?

- My silent little room

is growing dim

- 'Cause I think

I have to go out.

- And the man next door

Is saying what a lousy day

it's been

- Helen?

- And the clock

on the wall

- Helen?

- In the room below

The girl's crying

for her guy again

After the lights go out

what will I do?

After the lights go out,

facing the night without you

There's a pigeon that's

Been sitting on

my windowsill all day

I guess he's lonely too

I wonder if his love has

flown away

When I get up on my feet

I need a cup of coffee

anyway

Someone called for you

But I hung up the phone

What could I say?

After the lights go out

what will I do?

After the lights go out,

facing the night without you

I don't look for her

I find her in the shadow

of my mind

For she's just a girl

Whose memory will be

wiped away with time

Any second now

The lamp down the street

will show its light

And I just can't seem

To tear away her kisses

from the night

After the lights go out

what will I do?

After the lights go out,

facing the night without you

Facing the night

without you

José Saramago

José de Sousa Saramago, GColSE (Portuguese: [ʒuˈzɛ ðɨ ˈsozɐ sɐɾɐˈmaɣu]; 16 November 1922 – 18 June 2010), was a Portuguese writer and recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Literature. His works, some of which can be seen as allegories, commonly present subversive perspectives on historic events, emphasizing the theopoetic human factor. In 2003 Harold Bloom described Saramago as "the most gifted novelist alive in the world today" and in 2010 said he considers Saramago to be "a permanent part of the Western canon", while James Wood praises "the distinctive tone to his fiction because he narrates his novels as if he were someone both wise and ignorant."More than two million copies of Saramago's books have been sold in Portugal alone and his work has been translated into 25 languages. A proponent of libertarian communism, Saramago criticized institutions such as the Catholic Church, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. An atheist, he defended love as an instrument to improve the human condition. In 1992, the Government of Portugal under Prime Minister Aníbal Cavaco Silva ordered the removal of The Gospel According to Jesus Christ from the Aristeion Prize's shortlist, claiming the work was religiously offensive. Disheartened by this political censorship of his work, Saramago went into exile on the Spanish island of Lanzarote, upon which he resided until his death in 2010.Saramago was a founding member of the National Front for the Defense of Culture in Lisbon in 1992, and co-founder with Orhan Pamuk, of the European Writers' Parliament (EWP). more…
