are they warm enough?

Instead of worrying about yourselves.

- Don't f***ing move.

- Check him for his wallet.

Come on.

Got 20, 40, 60.

Couple hundred.

Take the TV?

You can't tow that down the street.

How come you ain't got nothin'

in this house, man!

- Keep looking.

- What kind of jacket is that? Take it off.

Take it off. Whoa, careful.

I've spent 30 years.

Not living life.

But ruining it.

For myself. And others.

I can't remember...

A man I wanted to be.

What mood am I in?

Tell me...

What do I think of you?

No one cares about reality anymore.

What's your story?

What? yours?

I'm an Aussie.

Australian.

Yeah.

You've been there, down under?

What's your name?

What's your name?

Whatever you want it to be.

You pick.

You have a darkness on you.

A little shadow.

You live in a little fantasy world,

don't you?

Don't you?

Yes. Because ifs so much more fun.

Do you enjoy yours?

Uh-huh. Changes every day.

I can be whatever I want to be.

Don't forget that.

You can be whoever you want to be.

You can be an a**hole.

You can be a saint,

you can be a you can be a god.

I'll tell you,

but don't tell anyone, ifs a secret.

We 're like clouds, aren't we?

Coming and going.

There's no such thing as forever.

The highs don't add up.

You liked that, didn't you?

Free.

Wake up.

Love danger.

Like living on the edge like this.

It's crazy, ifs scary.

What if I get busted?

Look at you with your little

eyes looking at me.

Sometimes I think I know so much more

about the world than other people.

You see, I took drugs once, and it kind of

opened up this window for me.

I call it the Window of Truth.

Real life's so hard to find.

I saw the world in a different way...

Where is it?

I see things other people do not...

I think you had that experience, too.

How do you get there?

Get out of the big cloud of dust

everybody's kicking up.

The only way out is in.

Breathe.

Your mind's a theater.

I say, try it all.

Why not?

Then I tell back asleep.

Sing for me.

Dream another dream.

who laid the foundations of the earth,

that it should not be removed for ever.

The waters stood above the mountains.

A! thy rebuke they fled,

at the voice of thy thunder

they hasted away.

They go down by the valleys unto the place

which thou has! founded for them.

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle

and herb for the service of man that he may

bring forth food out of the earth...

Very loving and enchanting.

Most affectionate.

Real nice to get along.

Very beautiful.

I like your outfit, too, especially the

boots. Now they're a touch of class.

Are you a religious man?

- You have a cross around your neck.

- Absolutely.

Oh, even though I'm in darkness,

I believe in the light.

I was instructed from some information

to be no part of the world

nor of the things in it.

But my eyes are now simple,

and I'm carnal when I see beautiful women

and big cars and lots of money,

and I wanna be a part of it.

I mean, who needs a bed

this big? Pretty good, huh?

Look at you,

hanging out there with your girls and your

money. Are you feeling happy?

- Yes.

- It makes you happy?

- It depends who owns the money.

- It's my new fur. He bought it for me.

This man is in love with me.

Just some other girl.

- Hi, how are you?

- Hi.

And the world held up a mirror.

Here.

Take the things you want.

They can be yours.

Why do you hold back?

I thought you were dead.

- I can't believe I actually met Elvis.

- You never know in this town.

That's my move.

Do you think I'll be as famous as Elvis?

What a fool am I?

Just to fie in a stinking dungeon.

When I may as well walk a! liberty.

I have a key in my bosom called promise.

And will I am persuaded,

open any lock in Doubting Castle.

Though in this dark and dismal state,

he hath turned the shadow

of death into the morning,

Go,

Where?

Find it.

How do I reach you?

Find my way there?

Are you afraid?

Sweetheart, my lave,

I don't feel guilty

that I've fallen in love with you.

I'm glad.

Grateful I still can.

You're afraid

you're making me break my vows.

But the vow comes out

of the love behind it.

Love's so rare that when you find it

you can't doubt it.

Let it go.

I remember when

I came down out of the mountains

and I was conditioned with

being absolutely clear.

Absolutely...

if not enlightened,

at least wiser than I had been.

You have to kneel in a certain way and

you have to bow at the appropriate time.

And it's all beautifully timed,

even the sound of when they announce...

We walked 250 miles over the mountains,

into Tibet area.

And every... couple days,

every 20 miles or so,

you knew you were

going back in history, in time...

But don't forget

their life is so circumscribed.

If you're living in a cave eating nettles,

it's not so difficult to keep life simple.

You don't have honking horns and your wife

running in saying "You screwed up!"

The distractions are very few, and that's

the great attraction of the monk's life.

Teaching now... I only teach one thing.

I just teach this moment.

Pay attention to this moment.

And everything is there...

perfect...

and complete.

Just as it is.

You're so quiet.

You keep everything to yourself.

You have love in you.

I know it.

When I'm with you...

I forget everything else.

My husband...

my life as I knew it.

Thumb, first finger, third

finger, left, fourth finger, third finger,

second finger, thumb, right hand, thumb,

first finger, second finger, thumb...

Have I found you?

Can it be?

Answer me.

So this is what we are.

A fire.

Come with me.

Away.

Open your mouth.

I wanna go away with you.

Marry you.

Save what you can of your life.

Look at me.

Don't lose it all

just because you've lost a part.

I found out! was pregnant.

Nate came back.

And I wasn't sure if it was my husband's...

or if it was yours.

to distract me right now

but I wanted to tell you, to...

acknowledge that it was...

I wake up and...

I forget about it

for a few minutes and then...

and then I remember.

She's like "I had four of them.

You have to get over it and stop crying."

What are we now?

Forgive me.

There's so much lave inside us.

That never gets out.

Have mercy an me.

According to your unfailing love,

your great compassion,

blot out my transgressions.

My son,

I know you.

I know you have a soul.

Seems you're alone.

You're not.

Even now,

He's taking your hand and guiding you

by a way you cannot see.

If you are unhappy, you shouldn't

take it as a mark of God's disfavor.

Just the contrary.

Might be the very sign He loves you.

He shows His love

not by helping you avoid suffering,

by sending you suffering,

by keeping you there.

To suffer binds you to something

higher than yourself,

higher than your own will.

Takes you from the world

to find what lies beyond it.

We are not only to endure

patiently the troubles He sends,

we are to regard them as gifts.

As gifts more precious

than the happiness we wish for ourselves.
