Mute Page #5

Synopsis: Berlin. Forty years from today. A roiling city of immigrants, where East crashes against West in a science-fiction Casablanca. Leo Beiler (Skarsgard), a mute bartender has one reason and one reason only for living here, and she's disappeared. But when Leo's search takes him deeper into the city's underbelly, an odd pair of American surgeons (led by Rudd) seem to be the only recurring clue, and Leo can't tell if they can help, or who he should fear most.

End of an era.

F***in' A.

To you, my friend.

You, sir, I love.

- The band in the sand.

- Band in the sand.

F*** it.

Let's get laid.

My treat.

We gotta stop and get Josie first.

Kanwal wants to take off early.

Uh-huh.

Hey, Cactus...

I wanna thank you for everything.

Oh, shut up. Have a peanut.

No, hey...

Thank you.

I'm serious, man. Thank you.

Gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you too, babe.

Hey, I'm sorry

I've been such a dick lately.

I've had a lot on my mind.

Hey, listen.

I gotta tell you something too.

I'm kind of f***ing

with that mute bartender.

Leo.

Just, you know, like, on the phone.

Why would you do that?

Like you said,

you were kind of being a dick.

He could've f***ed everything up.

Hey, relax.

He's a goof.

A**hole.

Hey! Hey! Excuse me, please.

Who is this?

She's a jealous little Nazi.

Hey, hey, stop!

You're just not our type, okay?

God, what is wrong with her?

Penis envy.

You must pay, sir.

What, did they have a half day

at school today?

Huh? Who says I should pay for this?

You? You says?

Is that it?

I'm talking to you,

not your f*ggot friends.

I've got a better idea.

How about I just eat all of them?

And that way, there's no f***ing evidence.

Hmm?

You are under arrest.

Okay, why don't you grow a foot

and come back and talk to me man-to-man?

Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

You mean business?

How's this for business?

Fifty cents worth of candy?

How about I pop out your pupil

and put the change in the socket?

Cactus, don't f*** up

your last night in Berlin.

Cactus, come on. Come on.

That's for f***ing with my sh*t.

Please.

Please. Please.

There you go.

It's a little word,

but it makes such a difference.

It's a crime to be so selfish

when there's so much of me

to go round, right?

What's happened to your lip?

Oh, um... I tripped. Such a klutz.

Have you ever played seesaw?

- You don't know seesaw?

- No.

They have seesaws here, right?

Yeah.

Never taken Josie to a park

all this time in Berlin?

I'm gonna teach you girls everything.

I'm gonna teach you...

kick the can, monkey in the middle.

- Oh, I'd love to.

- Yeah?

Teach you four square? Ever played?

- Let's go.

- No.

If we play four square,

we might need some more rubbers.

Come on. Let's go.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah. F***ing fantastisch.

Maksim, talk to me.

All right, I'm gonna be there

in 15 minutes.

Do you think you could...

Josie? Hmm.

Sure, she can stay.

She's no trouble.

That's it, baby girl.

You want more?

You know what? It's all right.

I'm gonna take her with me.

Hey, wanna go for a ride with Daddy? Yeah?

Bye-bye.

Hey, isn't that Maksim's car?

What? I can't believe it.

Leo?

Jesus Christ.

What the hell?

It's all right. Don't move.

Don't move, it's okay.

Are you in some kind of turf war

or something? What the hell happened?

Barman. The barman...

He's looking for you.

He has your address.

Where are the documents?

Where the f*** are my IDs, Maksim?

He took them.

Took them.

Yeah,

I'll give her a surprise. A big surprise.

Got your seat belt on, sweetie?

What's going on in here?

Duck!

You hear me? He's got my papers

and he's got my address.

I'm dropping Josie at the... Move!

I'm dropping Josie at the parlor

and then I'm home. Meet me there.

If you have any information

on American military personnel

absent without leave,

please notify MPs in your district.

Shh.

Wait here. I'll be right back.

You think I'm gonna let you take

my daughter away from me? Huh?

That's insane.

You're crazy. You're a crazy

f***ing b*tch, you know that?

She's family.

She's my blood.

I'll kill you before I let that happen.

You're evil!

You are evil!

You need time to get

your mind right, Naadi.

That's it.

You need a lot of time.

Jesus, Nicky,

these stairs are gonna kill ya.

Here.

Go ahead.

Open it.

Did you make this?

This is some quality work.

I like the dolphins.

Hey, can you make me some bookshelves?

I take your silence as a "no."

Where do you think you're going,

you big, dumb son of a b*tch?

You gonna give me some trouble, big boy?

Huh?

Or are you gonna channel

that famous Amish Gelassenheit serenity?

Jeez.

What the f*** did she ever see

in a fruitcake like you?

F*** you.

F***ing mute freak.

Lose your keys, Cactus?

Sh*t.

Oh, f***, man. Oh.

Oh, that's bad, babe.

I don't think there's anything

I can do here. Maybe I can...

Maybe if I got you back to my place

or maybe a hospital, where I...

Is that what... You want a hospital?

Oh, I don't think so, babe. I...

They'll talk. They'll say something.

They'll call the police.

No, you don't want that, babe.

Leo, stop hiding.

You are so beautiful.

Da stargo tora. The black of my eyes.

Why'd you have to kill Naad, babe?

You had it made.

All this over a broad?

You're smarter than that.

I always knew your temper

was gonna get you into trouble.

You should have been nicer to me, Bill.

There you two lovebirds are.

You and I need to have a talk.

You know who had a great voice?

My grandpa.

Smoked three packs a day.

Had to have his voice box removed.

When you start out,

you're gonna sound something like that.

Big fella like you is gonna need

a deeper voice than that, right?

Yeah.

She's watching cartoons.

Kids, right?

You killed that little girl's dad.

Hmm?

You did that.

Not me. You.

You should apologize.

Stop the pain.

I'm so sorry I killed your buddy Cactus.

Yeah, well, you should be sorry.

Say you're sorry.

F***ing say it!

There.

Now, say it.

Say it.

I got an idea.

I'm gonna show you something.

...then dip into France,

we can go anywhere.

We can go to Florence,

we can go to London, go to Cannes...

see all the movie stars.

Let's just say we can have a lot of fun,

baby. A lot of fun.

Morning, sir. Was wondering

when you might be joining us.

You look beat.

Oh, uh, Josie, this is Leo.

Leo, this is Josie.

The young lady and I were just discussing

the splendors of the Cote d'Azur.

You have any tales

you'd like to regale us with?

Stories of the French high life?

Nothing?

Josie, how about you?

Nothing?

Huh.

You may have your father's eyes,

but you do not have

his knack for conversation.

It's supposed to be fun.

You're supposed to be having fun.

Hi, Bill.

Your battery is at 37%.

Anything?

Go ahead, say something.

Did all that work.

All right, you stay in the car, darling.

Uncle Duck's gotta drop Leo off.

You recognize this place?

No?

Your photo of Naadirah...

I took it...

here.

Bill and I used to come up here

with Naadi in the summer

with her friends, back in the day.

She was a real hottie back then.

Before she got all f***ing knocked up.

You see that?

Ain't that the sweetest thing?

It's funny, you know, because now...

they're together forever because of you.

You did that.

F***ing you!

Well, I tried, Bill!

F***ing goon's got a heart of stone.

Looks high.

Sh*t!

I chopped your girlfriend's tits off

and I wore them as f***ing earmuffs!
