Six Degrees Of Separation Page #9

- Couldn't get through.

672

00:
43:44,360 -- 00:43:47,591

We could go back to our place

and phone them.

673

00:
43:49,920 -- 00:43:52,878

Hello. Sherry-Netherland?

I'd like to speak to...

674

00:
43:53,000 -- 00:43:56,993

- She gave the name.

- No, I'm not a fan. This is not a fan call.

675

00:
43:57,120 -- 00:43:59,953

Sidney Poitier must be registered.

His son is...

676

00:
44:00,080 -- 00:44:01,832

- i(receptionist hangs up)/i

- Oh!

677

00:
44:01,960 -- 00:44:05,350

- Bet he's there under another name.

- i(buzzer)/i

678

00:
44:05,480 -- 00:44:07,516

Try Celebrity Service.

679

00:
44:10,760 -- 00:44:14,070

Hello, Celebrity Service?

I'm not sure how you work.

680

00:
44:14,200 -- 00:44:16,031

Greta Garbo used "Harriet Brown".

681

00:
44:16,160 -- 00:44:18,879

- You find celebrities?

- They must've known she was Garbo.

682

00:
44:19,000 -- 00:44:21,719

I'd like to know how one

would get in touch with...

683

00:
44:21,840 -- 00:44:22,795

Oh!

684

00:
44:22,920 -- 00:44:27,994

No, I'm not a press agent. No, I'm not iwith/i

anyone. My husband, Flanders Kittredge...

685

00:
44:28,120 -- 00:44:31,715

- i(receptionist hangs up)/i

- They do not give out information.

686

00:
44:31,840 -- 00:44:34,832

- Try the public library.

- Try iWho's Who./i

687

00:
44:36,320 -- 00:44:39,392

"To thank you for a wonderful time."

688

00:
44:39,520 -- 00:44:41,556

"Paul Poitier."

689

00:
44:43,160 -- 00:44:46,516

- A pot of jam.

- Pot of jam? Jesus!

690

00:
44:48,040 -- 00:44:51,316

I think we should go to the police.

691

00:
44:51,440 -- 00:44:54,273

- iWhat are the charges?/i

- iHe came into our house./i

692

00:
44:54,400 -- 00:44:58,234

- He told us about iCatcher in the Rye./i

- He said he was the son of Sidney Poitier.

693

00:
44:58,360 -- 00:45:00,157

- Sidney Poitier?

- You got it!

694

00:
45:00,280 -- 00:45:01,508

- Was he?

- We don't know.

695

00:
45:01,640 -- 00:45:03,596

- We gave him $50.

- We gave him 25.

696

00:
45:03,720 -- 00:45:05,358

- He picked up a hustler.

- He left.

697

00:
45:05,480 -- 00:45:08,153

- He chased the burglar out.

- He didn't steal anything.

698

00:
45:08,280 -- 00:45:10,555

- We looked.

- Top to bottom. Nothing gone.

699

00:
45:10,680 -- 00:45:13,194

- This does not seem major now...

- Look.

700

00:
45:13,320 -- 00:45:15,550

- We are very busy.

- You can't chuck us out.

701

00:
45:15,680 -- 00:45:18,240

Come up with some charges,

then I can do something.

702

00:
45:21,880 -- 00:45:26,556

- Yes, there is another chapter.

- Our kids came down from Harvard.

703

00:
45:26,680 -- 00:45:29,035

i(arguing)/i

704

00:
45:32,480 -- 00:45:36,871

The details he knew -

how would he know about the painting?

705

00:
45:37,000 -- 00:45:40,629

Although I think it's a very fine Kandinsky.

706

00:
45:42,520 -- 00:45:44,636

And none of you know this fellow?

707

00:
45:44,760 -- 00:45:50,039

He has this wild quality, yet an elegance.

A real concern. And a real consideration.

708

00:
45:50,160 -- 00:45:52,435

i(girl)/i Mom, you should have let him stay.

709

00:
45:52,560 -- 00:45:56,838

You should have divorced all your

children and just let this dreamboat stay.

710

00:
45:56,960 -- 00:45:59,758

- Plus, he sent you flowers.

- And jam.

711

00:
45:59,880 -- 00:46:02,030

Ooh!

712

00:
46:02,160 -- 00:46:06,756

If only we could just get in touch with

his father, find out if there's any truth in it.

713

00:
46:06,880 -- 00:46:09,952

Who knows Sidney Poitier?

We could just call him up and ask.

714

00:
46:10,080 -- 00:46:13,390

- I have a friend who does theatrical law...

- What friend?

715

00:
46:13,520 -- 00:46:15,397

- It's nobody.

- I want to know.

716

00:
46:15,520 -- 00:46:17,317

Nobody.

717

00:
46:17,440 -- 00:46:19,351

- Oh. Oh. Oh.

- Nobody! Nobody!

718

00:
46:19,480 -- 00:46:25,430

- I don't want to know.

- Larkin! This is not the time to do this!

719

00:
46:25,560 -- 00:46:28,996

Mom, Dad, please! For once! Please!

720

00:
46:29,120 -- 00:46:31,076

i(arguing)/i

721

00:
46:32,760 -- 00:46:35,320

i(woman)/i It's got nothing

to do with you, Ben.

722

00:
46:35,440 -- 00:46:36,998

Tess!

723

00:
46:37,920 -- 00:46:43,995

When you see your little sister, don't tell

her that Paul and the hustler used her bed.

724

00:
46:44,120 -- 00:46:46,395

You put him in that bed.

725

00:
46:46,520 -- 00:46:49,398

I'm not getting involved in any conspiracy.

726

00:
46:49,520 -- 00:46:53,559

It's not a conspiracy!

Hello, Alf. It's a family.

727

00:
46:58,360 -- 00:47:01,113

The imagination.

728

00:
47:01,240 -- 00:47:03,834

It's there to sort out your nightmare.

729

00:
47:03,960 -- 00:47:07,157

To show you the exit

from the maze of your nightmare.

730

00:
47:07,280 -- 00:47:12,229

To transform the nightmare into

dreams that become your bedrock.

731

00:
47:13,440 -- 00:47:17,115

If we do not listen to that voice, it dies.

732

00:
47:17,240 -- 00:47:19,196

It shrivels.

733

00:
47:20,000 -- 00:47:21,956

It vanishes.

734

00:
47:23,840 -- 00:47:26,798

The imagination is not our escape.

735

00:
47:27,800 -- 00:47:33,750

On the contrary. The imagination

is the place we are all trying to get to.

736

00:
47:34,720 -- 00:47:36,278

i(screams)/i

737

00:
47:38,840 -- 00:47:40,796

i(phone rings)/i

738

00:
47:46,400 -- 00:47:49,995

- Hello?

- I had a call that might interest you.

739

00:
47:50,720 -- 00:47:53,473

i(Flan) And a new character/i

ientered our story./i

740

00:
47:59,440 -- 00:48:04,355

Well, it was really quite extraordinary,

very unusual. I was seeing a patient...

741

00:
48:04,480 -- 00:48:08,951

Dr Fine, there's a friend

of your son's here. He's hurt.

742

00:
48:09,080 -- 00:48:10,559

- My God.

- Hi.

743

00:
48:10,680 -- 00:48:12,113

- I was mugged.

- Come in.

744

00:
48:12,240 -- 00:48:17,075

He was more scared than hurt.

A knife wound. A few bruises.

745

00:
48:17,880 -- 00:48:20,155

- I don't know how to thank you.

- Don't be silly.

746

00:
48:20,280 -- 00:48:21,918

My father'll be here tomorrow.

747

00:
48:22,040 -- 00:48:24,554

He's making a movie of iCats./i

748

00:
48:24,680 -- 00:48:26,238

Yes.

749

00:
48:26,360 -- 00:48:30,114

And this man had been

a matine idol of my youth.

750

00:
48:30,240 -- 00:48:34,438

Somebody who had really forged ahead

and made new paths for blacks

751

00:
48:34,560 -- 00:48:37,916

just by the strength of his own talent.

752

00:
48:38,040 -- 00:48:42,750

Strangely, I'd identified with him

before I started medical school.

753

00:
48:42,880 -- 00:48:46,998

I mean, I'm a Jew.

My grandparents were killed in the war.

754

00:
48:47,120 -- 00:48:51,875

And I had this sense of self-hatred, of fear.

755

00:
48:52,000 -- 00:48:54,150

And this kid's father,

756

00:
48:54,280 -- 00:48:59,957

the bravery of his films,

gave me a direction, confidence.

757

00:
49:01,400 -- 00:49:03,197

Simple as that.

758

00:
49:03,320 -- 00:49:05,914
