on this earth...

...some role to play...

...and in the case

of Michele and Lulu...

...the role that they had chosen to play

was the role of model.

Now, not having met either

of these lovely young women...

...but knowing that I did want

to say something...

...meaningf ul about them today...

...I went to my Webster's Dictionary

and I looked up the word "model."

" Model:
A person that serves

as an artist's pattern...

...specifically a person

who poses for an artist."

But beyond that, it says...

..."An example for imitation."

The Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down

in green pastures.

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the paths of

righteousness for His namesake.

Yea, though I walk through

the valley of the shadow of death...

...I will fear no evil,

for Thou art with me.

Thy rod and Thy staff,

they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me

in the presence of mine enemies.

Thou anointest mine head with oil.

My cup runneth over.

Surely, goodness and mercy shall

follow me all the days of my life...

...and I will dwell in

the house of the Lord...

...forever.

Do you intend to go on with

the violence theme in your work?

I blame you.

No matter who did the killing,

you're to blame.

Don't walk away f rom me!

You're the murderer!

Because of you, she's dead.

You're gonna pay for this!

You're gonna pay for this!

-Where would you like to go?

-Home.

Clear out of here, fellas.

Tommy, come over here.

I'm gonna take the lady home.

I'm dismissing the car, okay?

Do we have to go

right back to the city?

There he is. Look.

It's a finch.

Do you think Robert is right?

Should I take this all on myself?

-But I am guilty.

-No, you're not.

Please listen to me very caref ully.

I want you to understand

something very important.

I feel that everything

I thought about you...

...before I really knew you...

...is not what I feel anymore.

This is incredible.

In the midst of all this,

I can't stop thinking of you.

-I know.

-What is going on?

I don't know.

It's unprofessional of me

to be walking with you...

-...in the woods.

-I don't have time for this!

I'm supposed to catch a killer.

-I'm completely out of control!

-I know. Me too.

But I can't stand being so...

I can't understand

how it's possible...

...to live your whole life...

...without someone...

...and be doing more or less okay.

And then, suddenly, you find them.

You recognize them.

You recognize them...

...and you know without them...

It's terrifying.

It's beautif ul.

Thank you, ma'am.

There's something I want you to have.

-No, I don't want that.

-Please.

You've got me so well protected

that I'm a prisoner in my own house.

I don't need it.

Michele and Lulu

had police protection.

-I don't know how to use it.

-I'll show you.

Just put your hand on the...

That's right.

Put your finger through there and

use the left hand to support the right.

Push it as far away

f rom your face as you can.

Look right down the barrel.

And when he comes at you,

squeeze that trigger.

He'll go away.

I'll keep it.

If you have to, use it.

Promise me that.

You'll be doing

the son of a b*tch a favour.

What's going on up there?

-Her agent. It's his birthday.

-Her agent?

Party time.

It'll be a long night.

Refill!

There she is.

-I didn't know if you'd come.

-I know. Same here.

Happy birthday.

Come on in. Take this off.

Tonight, we forget everything.

Everything, all right?

-All right.

-This is great.

-For you.

-Can I open it?

Aunt Caroline!

What's going on with you,

apart f rom this horrible business?

I think I'm in love.

Oh, I can't wait!

Wait a minute. What is this?

-Look at this! When was this taken?

-When you weren't looking.

I hate it! I love it.

I'm sorry. Tommy, would you

come back in an hour for me?

Yeah. It's just hard to figure out

what to do in just an hour.

Could you work it out?

-We'll save you a piece of cake.

-You're a piece of cake.

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

Which nobody can deny

Which nobody can deny

It looks like the burning of Atlanta.

Don't catch that wig on fire!

Happy birthday, Donald.

A man.

Michael?

Michael, where are you?

Birthday boy!

You take over.

This is for the musician.

Now you have 15 seconds

to gallop this up...

"Gallop this up"?

Then we all play bridge.

For I'm a jolly good fellow

For I'm a jolly good fellow

Don't take your fingers off the keys.

You gotta play too, Laura.

Now who's been murdered?

It's Michael.

He's...

I have to go to him.

What do you mean,

you have to go to him?

He's in a laundromat in Brooklyn.

He's drunk.

He just woke up there.

-He may kill himself.

-What if he kills you?

He won't.

Michael will only kill Michael.

I don't agree.

The night Elaine was murdered,

he came to me, terrified.

He came to you,

he took money and he left.

Yes, he took money, but he was

terrified and he needed help.

I could have been kinder.

Get the men downstairs

to drive you.

I won't lead the police to him.

It's time for bridge.

-Just a second, just go back...

-You keep saying that.

Donald, I don't know

how to get past them. Please.

Who is?

The lieutenant.

Now he's getting into her?

-That's what I hear.

-You make me laugh.

Hey, it's her.

Why is she going away f rom her car?

Come on, let's go.

Miss Mars, wait up.

Where you going?

Let us take you where you're going.

What are you...?

Listen. Come on.

You're not Miss Mars!

So? You're not Kojak.

What does that prove?

Hey, it's him!

-Why are you all dressed up like this?

-lt's my birthday.

Wait a minute, you son of a b*tch.

Where is she?

What are you, nuts?

I'm sick of this name-calling crap!

The doctor asked you

to stay in the hospital.

You could have at least

stayed overnight.

-I'm sorry.

-You could be hurt and not even know.

Please, don't.

I'm fine! I'm fine.

All right, I'm sorry.

I just don't think

I could stand to lose you now.

I can't stand to lose you.

Time for one of these bombs.

It's doctor's orders.

It'll make you feel

better than worse.

-I'll take one with you.

-You will not.

We'll get high.

-Where's your kitchen?

-There.

Now take your medicine for me

like a good girl, please.

Come on.

Thank you.

I can't cry.

I haven't been able

to cry for Donald.

I can't cry anymore.

I want to get you away f rom here.

Not without you.

I'll get it.

I hate bothering you, John...

...but I think we finally

got a break. We found...

That's good.

Be right with you, Sal.

-I think we have some evidence.

-What? What is it?

-Still have that gun?

-ln the bedroom.

Good.

Why?

Hang on, Laura.

I think we got the son of a b*tch.

-Be caref ul.

-All right.

Junk, junk, more junk.

Oh, God.

-Look at this!

-Sorry, I'm late. Traffic.

It smells like a gorilla cage in here.

It started f rom the f ront door.

What's in these box es?

I see nothing but pictures

John Carpenter

John Howard Carpenter (born January 16, 1948) is an American filmmaker, screenwriter, musician, and composer. Although Carpenter has worked with various film genres, he is associated most commonly with horror, action and science fiction films of the 1970s and 1980s.Most films of Carpenter's career were initially commercial and critical failures, with the notable exceptions of Halloween (1978), The Fog (1980), Escape from New York (1981), and Starman (1984). However, many of Carpenter's films from the 1970s and the 1980s have come to be considered as cult classics, and he has been acknowledged as an influential filmmaker. The cult classics that Carpenter has directed include Dark Star (1974), Assault on Precinct 13 (1976), The Thing (1982), Christine (1983), Big Trouble in Little China (1986), Prince of Darkness (1987), They Live (1988), and In the Mouth of Madness (1995). He returned to the Halloween franchise as both composer and executive producer for the horror sequel Halloween (2018). Carpenter is also notable for having composed or co-composed most of his films' music; some of them are now well-known, with the main theme of Halloween being considered a part of popular culture. He won a Saturn Award for Best Music for the film Vampires (1998). Carpenter has released three studio albums, titled Lost Themes (2015), Lost Themes II (2016), and Anthology: Movie Themes 1974–1998 (2017). more…
