Requiem for a Dream Page #2

-Eggs and grapefruit.

I was on that once.

Lots of luck.

It's not so bad.

-How long you been on it?

-All day.

All day? It's one o'clock.

-I'm thinking thin.

-She's thinking thin.

My Louise, she lost fifty

pounds just like that.

-Like that?

-Like what?

What did you do, put

her in a sweat box?

She went to a doctor.

He gave her pills.

-You don't want to eat.

-What's so good about that?

I'm sitting here not thinking

about pastrami on rye?

You really shouldn't talk like

that when someone's on a diet.

Oh, big deal.

I'll sneak another

wedge of grapefruit.

I'm thinking thin.

Oh Sara, the mailman...

Sara Goldfarb?

You have something

for Sara Goldfarb?

-I'm expecting something.

-Mrs. Goldfarb...

...Goldfarb...

-Sara Goldfarb.

-This is it?

That's it. Come on.

Alright, okay. Okay. Your

name. Spell out your name.

S-A-R-A

G-O-L-D...

...F-A-R-B!

Dynamite?

Dynamite.

Dynamite!

Alright we on our way.

Alright.

Brody's man says he got

some real fine sh*t, man.

Alright man.

Here we go.

Alright...

...let's do this right, man.

Come on baby...

...naturally.

Come on, hurry.

Maybe they'll send you

to the Tavern on the Green.

You know, that's where

they send all the stars.

I'm eating eggs and grapefruit

at Tavern on the Green.

Hurry before the

mailman comes.

Here we are.

Mail it!

There it is, jim.

There it is, baby.

Sh*t.

Shall we try?

Wait, Ty.

Look.

This is our chance

to make it big.

We play it right...

...an' we can get

a pound of pure...

...but if we get wasted...

...we'll f*** it up.

I know.

I ain't trying

to jive you, jim.

I don't want to be running

the streets my whole life...

...my sneakers all ripped up, my

nose runnin' down to my chin.

All I'm saying is we should

take a little taste...

...so we know

how much to cut.

It's business.

Fair enough.

Sheeit...

Thank you, Three things is

all I did to change my life,

Thirty days is all

it takes, Three things...

Number two:

No refined sugar!

Now sugar's everywhere,

You know, they even put

sugar in bottled water?

I was sick with sugar,

That was my medicine,

It nurtured my spiralling

brain that felt I was a loser,

-Juice by you!

-Juice by you!

Sucking candies,

very good sir,

None of that stuff,

Just stay away from it,

No refined sugar,

Watch it for 30 days...

I'm going to eat right...

...I am going to

pick up my spirits...

... and I am going to try...

Stop!

-Hello?

-Rosie?

-Yeah?

-Sara,

I need the number

of that doctor.

I don't understand

why you got to see him.

Cut the son of a b*tch

loose for Christ's sake.

Because I don't want him

mentioning to my parents...

...that I've stopped therapy.

They're already

so pissed off at me...

...they're thinking

of cutting me off.

Harry, I'm not going to

sleep with him or anything.

I'm going to come home

after the concert.

You're jealous!

Harry jealous?

Put your arms around me.

Oh you are so stubborn...

...put your arms around me.

Stop that!

I'll suck your eyeballs out.

Well...

I'm disappointed that

you're indisposed.

ls Anita out of town,

or something?

Why do you ask?

I was just wondering

if she's...

...''indisposed''.

No.

She's fine, thank you.

Actually she's in Florida.

Can I ask you something

personal Arnold?

Of course.

Anything. What?

You have something

over here.

-There?

-A little bit... lower.

It's okay. Don't

worry about it.

It's much better. Arnold...

How are you, Mrs. Goldfarb?

How am I? Enormous.

-That's why I'm here.

-Oh, I've seen much worse.

Thank you.

How's your hearing

and vision?

I have both.

The doctor will be

with you shortly.

-You're a little overweight.

-A little?

I have fifty pounds

I'm willing to donate.

We can take care of that...

...no problem.

We're on our way, baby...

...we're really on our way.

God, it was great out there.

I mean everybody's thirsty.

Come to me.

Harry...

...I'm so glad.

Naturally,

Naturally,

Naturally,

Purple in the morning...

...blue in the afternoon...

...orange in the evening.

That's my three meals,

Mr. Smarty Pants.

And green at night.

Just like that.

One, two, three, four...

Why dontcha' come

back to bed honey?

Come on now, Alice.

Got plenty of time for that.

Right now I'm grooving with

these new mirrors I got.

I told ya, ma.

One day I'd make it.

You don't have to

make anything, my sweet.

You just have to

love your momma.

What are you doing baby?

What are you doing baby?

Nothing.

I was thinking about you...

...and the nasty things

I'm about to do to ya.

I'm going to get on you.

You'll scare me to death.

Oh no, I wouldn't scare you.

I don't want to scare nobody.

All I want is a little bit

of peace and happiness.

Right now....

...you're the finest fox

I ever laid my eyes on.

That's what I'll do.

For my mother.

I've been thinking about

getting something for her.

Like...

...like a present or something.

But I didn't know

what I was going to get.

-Until now.

-And?

I finally asked myself, right...

...what's her fix?

Television, right?

I mean if ever there's a TV

junkie it's the old lady.

lf I figure I owe her

a new set anyway...

...with all the wear

and tear it got.

You really love

her, don't you?

I don't know.

I guess so, y'know.

Most of the time I just

want her to be happy.

Let's go get it.

Well let's push-off first.

It's early, Harry.

We shouldn't get

going till tonight.

Number three...

Number three,

This drives...

...most people crazy,

This... is... easy... so... far...

I mean that is thin.

She looks like

a different person.

I can almost zip the dress.

The red dress.

-I've almost got the zipper up.

-Sara, the mailman.

When I see it I'm going to

wave it all over the place.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah, I'm sure.

It's Harry!

-Look who's here,

-Hey ma, easy,

Easy. You'll crush

me for Christ's sake.

Come inside.

Hi, Harry.

And how are you Harry,

you're looking so good.

-You want something to eat?

-No, ma...

A little nosh maybe

or a piece of cake?

I could go out and

get some if you want.

I don't have anything but

Ada will have something...

...a cupcake maybe.

You want something to eat?

No... no ma, nothing.

Please sit. You're making me

dizzy for Christ's sake.

You notice anything

about me?

You notice I'm slimmer?

Yeah, I guess you are mom.

Twenty-five pounds I lost.

Twenty five pounds,

can you believe it?

-And that's only...

-That's great, ma.

...I'm really happy for you.

But will you sit? Please.

I'm sorry I haven't been

around in awhile ma...

...but I've been

busy, real busy.

Oh, yeah?

You got a good job?

You're doing real well?

Yeah, real good. Real good.

-What kind of business?

-Well...

...I'm sort of a

distributor like.

For a big importer.

Oh, I'm so happy for you.

Hey mom, you're killing me.

Jesus, what have you

been lifting weights?

-I always knew that you could.

-You were right, ma.

So maybe you'll meet a

nice girl and have a baby?

Well...
