The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Page #4

I don't want to do it alone!

- She doesn't do it alone!

It's about time. And your

life will change mysteriously.

Why don't you put me down?

- It's alright. - No, please! Dont!

We got a customer.

Father...Father...

HELP! LET ME HELP ME!

Help!

Hi, there.

Sh*t!

What were you thinking?

Look what you've done.

Jesus! Leave us alone.

Get out of here! Leave!

First to five...

First to five...

Just wonder first to five.

You! We gotta keep moving!

- I know, I'm sorry.

Get out of my sight!

- Alright. Alright.

Jesus! - What are you doing?

You made a mess!

Get out of here, come on!

You're not helping!

- Alright...I'm gone.

I wonder if covered by insurance.

- Bugger off!

Alright, I'm just talking.

It's quite interesting crowd tonight.

- I wouldn't know.

Just leave me alone, mate.

How do you...

Val is little worried about you, mate.

She wanted me to come

and chat with you, pal.

What happened today, and to the

young lady behind the mirror?

We suggestively...

Anton, you can tell me, mate.

We all heard her scream.

I was screaming as well.

It was terrifying. - Terrifying?

I don't understand.

No...You wouldn't. You haven't been

inside the Doctor's mind, haven't you?

No, I haven't. - Yeah,

you probably think it's

some kind of scam, don't you?

- Well?

No, it's not.

I wouldn't expect you to understand.

Not in a million years.

If Doctor Parnassus can really

control people's mind,

why isn't he ruling the world, eh?

Why bother with this little...side show?

'Side show'? He d-don't want

to rule the world.

He wants the world to

rule itself!

Yeah?

What about the mirror?

What's that about, eh?

A bit of hocus-pocus?

- Tony, you don't get it, man.

It is...

It's impossible to describe.

It's - a mystery!

It's everything as real

as seen with eyes,

it beholds the universe...

- By the way,...- Behind the mirror.

Does first to five, mean

anything to you?

You're suppose to be

the clever one.

It's utterly hopeless...

It is over...

Don't say that...

It's never over.

Parnassus is immortal, remember?

Honestly, it's gonna be okay, dad.

How can you understand?

You are a child.

You've never loved.

Not like I have...

From the moment I looked up,

and saw her,

I was captivated.

Imprisoned by her.

And I was thousand years old.

How could I woo her?

How could I ever

make her mine?

Don't be a fool! You can't die!

You're immortal!

You'll just end up broken,

in the eternity ward, and I'll...

Go, you little devil!

No!

At times like these,

the devil is never far away.

Why so long, Parny?

Such a waste the positive.

The devil granted me mortality again...

And youth and new powers.

Greater powers.

And I won her.

I was so in love...

So in love...

But at what price...?

What price...?

Wassup, doc?

At what price...?

It's only cuts and bruises.

I thought we'd lost you.

Sweetheart! Why that sad face?

Look at here. Val, I thought

about your father and

seems to be in terrible state,

you know?

Now, is it financial thing?

Is it money?

I don't know... - Cause if it is,

I could help in that area.

I don't know. - You don't know

or is it the show, perhaps?

I don't care about the show anymore.

What about the police?

- Bring on the police.

I'm sick of living like this...

Oh, really...

Now listen. You shouldn't talk this way.

It's very important what

you're doing. It's family stuff.

Maybe it's just...things ought

to be done in little different way.

What sort of different

way do you suggest?

Morning. How are you doing?

How did you sleep last night?

That was a nasty

bump on the head you got...

Different? What do you mean?

Well, I've been thinking sir, that....

it's quite obviously, people...

not many people,

are attacked to the show.

- Oh, thank you so much.

Forgive me but...I-I-I have couple

solutions to the problem.

One, I was thinking of changing

the style of the show.

And two, I would a...

Change the audience, perhaps.

Change? - Yeah.

In my opinion, I'd change both.

You know, that's just me...

- Change a show?

Who the frigging hell

do you think you are?

Don't be sorry to find a change, mate.

The fact and the matter is, this

show, the stage - this is not...

I-I-I don't know the word is, it's...

- Modern?

Modern? Yes.

You see, people want modern.

I want, you know, like...

Like this. This is contemporary.

This is what people want.

I know this world. Trust me.

Now, with you and your mind control,

we need to meet the public halfway.

The right public,

the right part of town.

- What about the filth?

What? - The filth.

- He means the Police.

There'll be a better

class of filth, too.

That'll be the day.

- Yeah, listen.

T-T-The secret is not to hide.

Be bold. Be colorful.

Or, actually, be less colorful,

perhaps.

And go to the places that people

would never expect to be at.

You know? Think.

So, you saved my life.

Now let me do something

in return, for you. Please.

Scrumpy.

Do you believe in

coincidence? - No.

There's no such thing...

You've always told me.

Everything has a reason.

- Yes, that's what I believe.

And the cards?

Do you believe in them?

What about that? This it a test?

This is gonna be an

extremely important day.

Do we gamble on Tony?

I want your opinion...

I need your advice.

I don't believe it.

You want my opinion.

That's the best birthday

present ever!

Yes! Gamble! Let's do it!

- Yes!

Let's do it!

Oh, I love you dad.

...And the devil take the hindmost!

Well, lovely.

- Yeah. How sweet.

So, what do we do now?

Well, lets see...First of all, how much

money do we have to play with?

Cause, we gonna need all of it.

Anton! What are you doing?

Didn't you do enough

damage last night?

Anton! I'm the one who

wants to run away!

Please, don't spoil my birthday.

We need you.

I need you.

How much money have you got?

Look my dear, did you look inside?

We are here to give,

not take, my darling.

But nevertheless, since you are

very, very generous lady,...

Excuse me but, how does this work?

What does it cost?

Cost - no. The Imaginarium

doesn't cost a penny.

How long does that take?

- Well, it depends, my dear.

I'm running late.

- Oh, late, late, for very modern date.

I can't tell you.

Listen, can I ask you a question?

Do you really,

or should I say...

Can you put a price

on your dreams?

Or the dreams of the less

fortunate in this world?

Is there a price to them?

Or are you willing to spare to inability

to change what is wrong in this world?

You see, I am for dreams.

But I too , walked away for whit.

I ignored it, I had no time for it.

Does it sound familiar to you?

Yes? I know, my dear.

But, you see, ladies and gentlemen,

I was saved...

By a miracle.

By Doctor Parnassus!

He gave me my life back again.

He's given me reason to dream.

He took me into the waterfall

of happiness!

And I was reborn.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen,

I can tell you now...

I have been...No! I AM purified.

Ladies, ladies! We're solidly
