The Man Who Fell to Earth Page #6

Where are you taking me?

Now we're gonna

put you guys to bed.

Here we go, big guy.

Oh. You got a kiss

for your dad? Huh?

Okay.

I wonder if we do

and say the right things.

To the children?

No. Everything.

He has just been appointed

special adviser to the new administration...

on matters of economic development

in the chemical industry.

Professor Canutti,

are there any major new developments...

that have taken place

recently, Professor?

Well, as we all know,

a giant corporation, which had become...

- Good morning, Mr. Newton.

- a household word in this country...

- Good morning, Albert.

- ran into financial difficulties.

- The main reason for this was

the corporation... - I feel so tired.

- How about a nice, refreshing martini?

- Relied heavily on...

that two-headed monster: Innovation.

Now, the American consumer

can assimilate...

- only so many new products in a given period

of time... - Just the way you like it.

- Not too cold.

- And then no more.

There. Now, it's a beautiful day.

Oh.

Thank you, Arthur.

You know, if all of you drank less,

we'd get better results.

Take my advice and stick to mineral water.

Keep your perspective.

I'll talk to him.

I know he'll be all right.

I'm not sure. We've got a serious

unemployment problem on our hands now.

The media...

are beginning to hint

at a... fraud.

People need reassuring...

and they've got

a right to the facts.

- I understand, Mr. Peters.

- Well, I'm not quite sure...

you understand...

how all this might affect you.

- Nate. Help me, Nate. - Don't worry,

Mr. Newton. You're perfectly normal.

Help me, Nate.

I do. That's a fact. That's a fact.

- It's been such a long time, Nate.

- Mm-hmm.

Do you really think I look nice?

It's really good to get out, you know.

Mmm. Have you seen him?

No, I, uh -

They're keeping us

away from him.

You have seen Calloway.

What are you two doing?

Well, they-

they asked me to help take him.

I'm helping.

dd

Poor Harry.

"Poor Harry. "

"Poor Harry" wouldn't even

lift a finger to help you.

Poor Tommy. We haven't

helped him much, have we?

I think maybe

we have a chance now. They...

They might let you, uh, see him.

Alone that is.

I don't want him anymore.

I don't want to see him, hear him,

but he's still a part of me. That's a fact.

I don't want to

hurt him anymore.

Poor Tommy's been hurt enough.

I know, but, uh, well, I might be able to

arrange for you to talk to him.

Maybe you, uh -

you can save him.

Save him?

From what?

Good evening, Mr. Newton. Would you

take off your pajama jacket, please?

- How long will I have to stay in

this place? - I have no idea.

It probably depends

on why you're here.

d

- Oh, Anna, why do we always...

- I'm a surgeon.

- This is just a little test.

- have to quarrel?

- If you want to sell your services-

- Would you drop your trousers?

I've told you everything.

- I loved him. You loved him.

- You're just gonna hurt me again.

- This won't hurt. Trust me. Hmm?

- What good have we done him? Love.

Nurse.

Okay, Mr. Newton.

Point your toes in, please.

Okay. Take a nice, deep breath now.

Okay, hold it.

That's fine.

I told you before.

I came alone.

I came alone.

Nobody saw me.

Oh, Tommy.

My sweet baby.

Oh, I never thought

I'd see you again.

Oh, you look so beautiful to my eyes.

Oh.

- Do they know?

- Know what?

About you.

How did you get in here?

Through the front doors.

The double doors?

Where are you -

Where are you going?

You never get sick.

What happens to you

when you drink?

I see things.

What things?

Bodies.

Bodies? Women?

- And men.

- Men!

Men?

Mmm! Mmm! Bad boy!

I want it.

I've been dreaming of it.

Please.

Do you know what I think?

What?

I think you know -

You know too much about me.

What do you mean?

I can do anything...

now, you know.

I can kill you...

right here on this bed.

Then I could...

phone room service.

And they'd - they'd take

your body away...

and then I'd have them

send up another girl.

Oh, Tommy. Tommy.

I just want it

to be like it was.

Me, the two of us.

You. You.

The way you were.

That's the way I am!

It's too late, Mary-Lou.

I can't trust you.

Yes, you can.

Yes, you can.

- Good-bye, Mary-Lou.

- No.

- Sleep well!

- No! No!

Hello, Mary-Lou

- Won't they come in? The noise!

- d Good-bye, heart

Sweet Mary-Lou

I'm so in love with you

No. They gave me the gun

and the blanks. I asked for them.

- And I asked for you, and here you are.

- Oh. Ooh.

Good-bye, heart

You passed by one sunny day

- Please. Please.

- Flashed those big brown eyes my way

- Yeah.

How I wanted you

Forever more

Bite it.

Why are they doing that,

giving you everything?

Though I never did meet you before

I say hello, Mary-Lou

- They're not really giving me anything.

- I'm paying. I'm...

- d Good-bye, heart

- I'm rich.

- Yeah.

I'm so in love with you

- I can afford anything.

I knew, Mary-Lou

We'd never part

- You like that?

So, hello, Mary-Lou

- Push.

- Let me get up. Let me get up.

Here, you shoot. You shoot.

- Yes, higher. Come up here.

- I like that.

Oh!

- Yes.

- Oh, please.

Oh, please,

O noble sire.

Hello, Mary-Lou

- Oh, that's awful.

Good-bye, heart

Sweet Mary-Lou

I'm so in love with you

- Yes. Yes.

- Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.

Oh, don't you-

So, hello, Mary-Lou

Oh. Ahhh.

- Yes.

- Mmm.

Say your prayers, boy.

Give me a kiss.

Mmm. Mmm.

You don't want to go back. Not really.

You've got everything here.

Tell me one thing

that you have on your planet...

Whoo!...

that we don't have on ours.

Come on. Tell me one thing.

You don't have any money.

You don't have any water.

You don't have any grass.

You don't have any booze.

Mmm.

What do you want

to go back to a desert for?

If you want desert,

we got deserts here.

This country's rich.

We got everything.

All right.

I know.

Your wife and your family.

But by the time you get back,

they'll probably be dead.

I mean, how long is it gonna take you

to get back from here, Tommy?

How many years?

Light-years, or whatever

you want to call 'em.

How many?

All I'm trying to say,

Tommy, is that...

if you couldjust prove

who you really are, you'd be free!

Don't you understand?

They don't understand you.

They don't believe you.

Believe me.

They think you're one of us.

They think you're

a freak or a fake.

I know you're not.

All you have to do

is just prove it to 'em.

Let 'em see you

as you really are.

Listen.

Nate could probably

make a deal for you.

I'll bet you

you could probably go back.

They'd probably let you go back.

I'm sure they would!

You could get into that little rocket ship

of yours and go back!

Huh?

No.

- What do you mean, no?

- No.

Come on, Tommy.

Show 'em.

Prove it to them.

Come on.

- Prove it.

- No, I don't want to. I've proved enough.

I've proved everything I'm gonna prove.

I've gone as far as I'm going.

I don't love you anymore.

And I don't love you.

You're gonna die like an animal.
