Julien Donkey-Boy Page #5

Synopsis: "O, mio babbino caro" plays as a woman skates gracefully. In contrast, little is graceful and daddy is not dear in Julien's world. His father listens to blues wearing a gas mask; dad prods, lectures, and derides Julien as well as Julien's brother and pregnant sister, while grandma attends to her dog. Julien is different, schizophrenic. He wears gold teeth. He bowls, sings, worships, and chats with a group of young adults with disabilities. His sister's child is probably his own. He talks on the phone, imagining it's his mother, who died in childbirth years before. He may be a murderer of children. From his point of view (perhaps), the film follows this odd family for a few weeks.

What else

you got, man?

Get him out of here!

Get him out of here!

Well, that's it.

Thank you very much.

Amen!

A-woman!

All right!

"Amen...

Amen,

Amen, Amen, Amen

Amen...

Amen,

Amen, Amen, Amen

See the baby Jesus,

Lying in the manger

Amen,

Amen, Amen, Amen..."

The words are easy.

"Amen..." Amen!

"Amen,

Amen,

Amen, Amen."

"We don't need no music

We don't need no music

We don't need no music

We don't need no music."

"I feel good--

nah-na, nah-na, nah-na--

I knew that I would--

nah-na, nah-na, nah-na

I feel good--

nah-na, nah-na, nah-na

I knew that I would..."

That's funny.

"So good--

so good--

I've got you.

I feel nice--

nah-na, nah-na, nah-na

like sugar and spice--

nah-na, nah-na, nah-na..."

That's my favorite song.

I love that song.

What song?

That song--

"Nah-na, nah-na, nah.

I feel Tosh--"

That's a really

good song.

I think one day

when my feet break apart,

I'm gonna need new feet.

I'm gonna have to sew

these feet back on.

I met a man that was made of clay,

like me, and he said,

"If you want to have

clay feet,

you've got to listen

to clay tapes."

Stop! That tickles!

I'm sorry.

You don't have to be sorry.

It feels good.

Does this tickle,

with my brush?

Yes.

All my boyfriends are dead,

and you're gonna die too--

maybe you too, Julien.

I died before, you know.

I died before.

I'm gonna die before I die.

I'm gonna make

a high dive,

and then as soon

as I land in the water,

I'm gonna die.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I'm gonna dive

from the 2,000 meter board,

and then I'm gonna fall

and fall and fall,

until I fall in the water,

and then I'm gonna die.

What's going on there?

What sort of sh*t

is that?

Cut it out!

Take it seriously!

God-f***ing-damn it!

Disqualified for

bad behavior.

I'm never gonna wear

that again!

I'm never gonna wear

that again!

I found it--

I found it very shitty.

Chris!

I'm sorry.

Chris, Chris.

Okay, okay!

I won't--

I won't,

I won't hit you.

I don't want

to hurt you, Chris.

I don't want

F***ing act f***ing normal

for a second,

and f***ing

take it seriously!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I'm sorry...

Thanks.

Excuse me, miss.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Don't you want to go

to that great city

over there,

where the sun

don't ever go down?

Over there,

where every day,

is a day,

of jubilee,

where we will sing...

There may be one

that's out of the ark

of safety.

If you're here,

we invite you to come.

The spirit said, "Come."

And whosoever will,"

He said, "Let it come."

If you come...

I heard,

Jesus said,

"I will in no wise--"

He will in no wise

cast you out.

Come to him right now,

while you still have a chance.

If you are here today.

There is no forgiveness of sins--

Amen--

and so by the blood of Jesus,

Amen-- we are forgiven

for our sins. Amen.

So I come to tell you today

that, uh...

that the blood

of Jesus Christ

Amen-- cleansed us from all

of our sins.

Thank God for Jesus.

We all are forgiven,

by that same blood.

And I'm glad today,

beloved,

because when I have

done wrong,

and when my sins

catch up with me,

Jesus, Amen,

when the Lord looks at me,

he don't see me,

but he sees the blood of Jesus.

And when Jesus died

on the cross,

God was dying on the cross.

For God was in Christ Jesus,

reconciling the world

unto himself.

And I'm glad to know

that I'm justified.

I've been set free...

Amen--

because of the blood

of Jesus.

Not because of what

I have done,

but because of what

He has done.

And I'm glad to know

that Jesus paid the price.

He ransomed us from

the very gates of hell.

I don't know about you,

but I'm glad

that I've been washed

in his blood.

I'm glad to know

that I've been redeemed

by the blood of the Lamb.

His blood has made

my spirit clean,

and His blood has wrote

my name above.

I don't know about you,

but I was a sinner one day,

but I'm glad that I plunged

in that fountain,

Amen, and I've been set

free today.

And I don't know about you,

but I'm glad

that we can sing this song,

"What can wash away my sins? "

We have heard

from heaven today.

The Lord has stopped by

and visited us.

You know, I'm so glad

of one thing,

as we get ready to go...

Amen, I feel good...

I know that can't nobody,

do me like Jesus.

If you don't mind,

we're gonna do just a little bit

of that great song,

and we'll be on our way home.

"Can't nobody...

do me like Jesus,

Can't nobody

do me like the Lord

Can't nobody

do me like Jesus,

He's my friend."

Yeah!

"Can't nobody

do me like Jesus,

Can't nobody

do me like the Lord

Can't nobody

do me like Jesus,

He's my friend.

Can't nobody

do me like Jesus,

Can't nobody

do me like the Lord

Can't nobody

do me like Jesus,

He's my friend."

Yeah.

"Can't nobody
