Didn't cheat.

I never stole.

I never told a lie.

Then what happened?

Women and the weather.

What happens to anybody, brother?

Women and the weather.

Are you open

to some intellectual bullshit?

Well, if you gotta

get it out of you.

You believe

in the duality of man?

No. I believe

in infinite complexity.

Oh.

How many more

is that than duality?

A lot.

You said... that I was

a failure as an artist.

I was a failure.

I need you to understand this.

I was a failure...

through capacity, not incapacity.

I have too much stuff

going on in here.

I...

I went through to other languages,

uncommunicable things,

and there was no point.

In other words,

the devil came to me, and I said yes.

But he was lying.

Look at the coin.

That coin lands on this table,

heads or tails,

that's the man that goes first.

- You'll do it?

- You know I'll f***ing do it.

- Heads or tails?

- Tails.

This coin lands eagle side up,

you'll pick up that gun,

point it at your head,

- and pull the trigger?

- Don't f***ing ask me how.

- What'd the coin say'?

- Doesn't matter.

You would have

never gotten the gun.

I would have picked it up

to hand it to you.

I would have shot you

in the face, brother,

and burned you in the desert.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna burn you

in the desert.

Could I have a drink of water?

No.

My mother was a whore

Married to my uncle

This motherfucking castle

Is like a f***in' jungle

Jesus Christ and Socrates

Are standing at the door

Sorry, brother.

When I was a boy

I thought it was forever

And I would be all right

In any sort of weather

What I am is what I say

Just that and nothing more

Ah, well

Here we are

At Elsinore

Well

Here we are

At Elsinore

Yeah

Yeah

At Elsinore

I haven't seen you

for so many days.

I know.

So the villagers pushed,

and the monster fell

screaming into the fire.

And the last anyone

heard from him...

"What about my good qualities?"
