Take This Waltz
In the name of the king.
Public humiliation.
Public punishment.
Everyone gather in the square
for the public humiliation.
Tired yet?
We're nowhere near done.
When are we gonna see the stoning?
And ... there's a special treat.
A one-time experience today in Louisbourg.
He shall be subjected to a lashing.
never experienced in all his days!
Vive Le Roi!
Long live the King!
Are you sorry? Are you contrite?
Ah!
I see a lady...
... who'd like to try her hand on the thrashing.
Do I not?
No, please stop!
Please do not do it.
Do not do it!
No, I will not.
I came here to work, to
rewrite your official pamphlets.
Oh, but please, indulge me!
Put your back into it more!
Harder!
Harder, harder!
Well done.
You've got a lot of nerves, sir.
Welcome to Montreal.
Connecting passengers ,
Please check the boards

Hi.
Hi. On the right hand side.
Thank you.
Hi.
Hi.
Sorry, I know you from ...?
Public humiliation.
Well, obviously ...
Not before? Don't I know you
from somewhere else?
Not that I know of.
You look very familiar though.
Yes ...
Did you have an accident at Louisbourg;
- Sorry?
- Your wheelchair.
Something happened to your legs?
No ... I
I have just a constant issue with them...
I can not walk for than 5 minutes
without some help.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
No, you don't.
Excuse me?
You do not have a constant issue with your leg.
Okay ...
You must have been walking a lot more than
And you really gave it when it came time
for the whipping, my friend.
Right, look, I'm just reading this.
No, you're not.
You're not reading that.
You were watching me me sleep.
You missed a spot.
This is where it is.
Yeah, got it.
Milk!
Who orders milk on a plane?
It's tomato juice, a**hole, that's what
you order on a plane!
"Dreaming of Hitler."
Includes the famous essay...
Spanking of romance ...
Are you okay?
What are you reading?
I'm scared of airports.
That's why you read about
Hitler's spanking you?
Do you want me to answer or not?
I'm afraid of connections.
In airports.
Getting from one plane to another.
Runing and rushing, and not knowing ...
Trying ... to figure it out ...
Wondering if I'm gonna make it ...
What do you think will happen
if you do not succeed?
I think I may get lost ...
... And that I may rot and die ...
In ... some forgotten
Empty Terminal ...
... that nobody even knows exists.
And you miss your plane.
No ...
that's not really the fear ...
Then what are you afraid of?
I'm afraid of wondering if I'll miss it ...
I do not like being between things ...
Sounds like the most
dangerous thing in the world.
Hi.
near Queen MacLaughlin ...
Really?
Yes, why, where do you live?
Pretty close, actually.
- I will walk from your place.
- Really?
Yes.
Are you serious?
Yeah, why, where do you live?
Pretty close.
I am married.
Oh. That's too bad.
That's too bad. Because I live here.
Sh*t.
Hey, baby.
Hi.
I love you so much ...
... I'm gonna mesh your head
with a potato masher ...
I love you so much,
that I will put your spleen
into a meat grinder.
And it is gonna be a freaking
rusty meat grinder.
I love you so much ...
That ... I'll gonna inject your face ...
with a curious combination
of Swineflu and Ebola.
Wow, it made me laugh.
What time is your family coming over?
Whenever they manage to put their
kids in the car, so ..
Maybe ... a million o'clock.
I look forward to seeing the little Tony.
She's really, really nice.
I like to play with her.
Will you do the monkey?
That's nice.
I will, really.
I'm gonna play with Tony.
I know you are.
I know, too.
I know already.
I'm taking a shower.
- Knock knock!
- Who is there?
- Interrupting starfish.
- What interrupting starfish?
Well, this. Do you get it?
Knock it off!
Jerry! Jerry!
Why do not you want Tony to go
to the Montesouri?
I do want Tony to go to Montesouri!
- That's a lie!
- Speak clearly.
You want to play the princess restaurant?
Hello. Welcome to our restaurant.
Would you like some chicken?
It's okay, do not hit really.
Thank you.
I do not like the place so much.
It's a little bland.
It's a little bland.
Make sure to mark all the things
you do not like, Mom.
That's why we're doing this lunch.
I'll take them.
It's all wonderful.
Thank you.
And I like being served.
And I'd like you to sit down.
You deserve it.
I love these flowers.
I know aren't they pretty?
I tell you it does not help me.
Every book you read about it involves...
you know...
... people falling off the waggon 8 times ...
So you know, I'm good, I'm really good but ...
There is this looming, you know...
"waiting-to-fail"-ness ...
You look so well.
I know.
Really. I look in the mirror and want to f*** myself.
better than before I gave birth to Tony.
Thoughts?
Yes ... You look amazing!
- Thank you.
It is that kind of moment when you want
to try and win real quick.
I do not think you're gonna fail.
Don't look at me like that.
With this sincere look ...
... Like a baby dear.
The next time you wake up
inside me vomit ...
... You should feel
guilty about you, too.
Then do not do it.
Do not wake up in a pile of your vomit.
Doing my best.
It'll be 10 months Tuesday.
That's great!
Allright. Now, get off me.
Nobody has died.
I'm "the good news", you know that?
Okay, guys, it's time.
Bye, sweetheart!
- Bye!
- Bye!
- I love you so much.
- Thank you, aunt.
Take me somewhere.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Do not even know what to
make for breakfast.
I do not know what you're making for me you breakfast!
What?
What "what"?
What?
Just... glad you're here.
Yeah?
Yeah.
- Bad baby.
- No, I am not a bad baby!
No? You're not evil baby? No?
You seem like the baddest little
baby in the whole world.
I'm not a bad baby,
I'm mad at you.
Are you mad my baby?
Yes, I'm mad at you.
I love you, baby.
Can't we just drop this baby thing?
And kiss me that's just not good together.
Okay.
Wait.
What?
I just keep making breakfast
and you continue to require
how to become everything.
I did not mean to...
Sorry.
Howdy.
Hi!
Where are you going?
To the grocery store.
Big breakfast?
Big breakfast, early start.
You mean we both
early in the grocery store.
No, no, I just woke up.
Sure you did...
What is that supposed to mean?
Jumpy, jumpy lady.
Who needs a rickshaw at 5 am, a**hole?
I go to the lake shortly before the day starts.
And then I go straight to work.
It doesn't make sense ...
I just do not like going home in between.
- You go to the lake?
- Yes.
What? To think things over?
Yes.
- This is so gay.
- Gay?
You gaylord.
What are you? 12 years old in 1982?
Who says "gaylord"?
Who goes to the lake every morning ?
I do.
Gaylords do.
