Twelve Monkeys Page #9

Whatever gets it up for you, Jack.

Tommy, this is Charlie

over at the Globe.

You know if Wallace has a new girl?

Sort of a rookie type?

A little weird? Does fantasy acts?

Okay, you were standing there

looking up at the moon.

You were splashing

through the water, and then what?

I thought I was

in prison again.

Just like that,

you were in prison?

No, not really.

Like you said.

It was all in my mind.

You disappeared.

One minute you were there,

the next minute you were gone.

Did you run through

the woods, or-

I don't know.

I don't remember.

The boy in the well.

How did you know that was just a hoax?

It was?

I d-didn't know.

You said he was hiding

in the barn!

I think I maybe saw a TV show

about that when I was a kid,

where a boy-

It wasn't a TV show!

It was real!

M-Maybe this boy saw

the same TV show that I did,

and he c-copied it.

Look, you were right.

I, I am mentally ill.

I imagined all these things,

these people.

- Ooh.

- I know they're not real.

I can trick them. I, l-

I can make them do what I want.

I worked on 'em a little bit.

- I got back here to get better.

- Ah!

- I can stay here.

- What does this mean to you?

- I think I had a dream

like... about this.

You had a bullet from World War I in

your leg, James. How did it get there?

I don't know. Look, you sa-

You said I had delusions.

- That I created this world.

You said you could explain.

- I can't!

I'm trying to, and-

I, I can't believe that everything

we say or do has already happened.

We can't change

what's gonna happen.

And if five billion people

are gonna die, it's-

I want the future

to be unknown.

I want to become

a whole person again.

I want this to be

the present.

I want to stay here...

this time...

with you.

James,

do you remember six years ago

you had a phone number?

- It was the wrong number then.

- A woman answered.

It was the wrong number in 1990.

It should be the right number now.

Do you remember it?

- The number? Do you-

- The number? Do you-

This is my territory, b*tch!

- Is this real, or is this

one of my delusions?

- This is definitely real.

Uh, excuse me.

- I, I think we've got

a little misunderstanding here.

- Oh?

- Yeah. We-

- Gee, really?

Now, you just sit tight!

You listen to me,

little Miss Understanding.

You think you can go around me and

peddle your ass in this part of town?

You bet your life we got what I would

call a major f***in' misunderstanding.

Hey!

James, no! Don't!

- Uh, put him in the closet.

Take his money first!

- You want me to rob him?

- We need cash, James!

- No, no!

Call the cops!

Call the cops!

What's goin' on?

I've got friends, man.

- Don't f***in' kill me.

- James! James!

No, James! No!

No, James!

No! Open the door!

What the f*** are you doin'?

Please don't hurt him.

Open the door.

James, come on.

Just in case-

Just in case I'm not crazy.

This is how they find us.

By our teeth.

I don't want them

to find me... ever.

I don't want to go back.

- ...calling in a domestic incident.

- Get out!

Get back.

You'd better load.

Police! Throw your weapons out

and come on out!

Hey! ls that the cops?

Hey, I'm the innocent victim here.

I was attacked by a coked-up whore

and a, a f***in' crazy dentist.

Try to blend in.

Oh, Jesus!

Come on.

There's gotta be a phone

around here somewhere.

There.

O-Over there. Look.

- I'm gonna try that number, okay?

- Okay.

- Let's hope it's nothing.

- Okay.

James! James!

It's okay!

We're insane. We're crazy.

It's a carpet cleaning company.

- A carpet cleaning company?

- Yeah. No superiors.

No scientists.

No men from the future.

It's just a carpet cleaning company.

They have voice mail.

You leave a message telling

where you want your carpet cleaned.

- You left them a message?

- Yeah. I couldn't resist.

Wait 'til they hear this nutty

woman telling them to watch for

the Army of the Twelve Monkeys.

I said, "The Freedom for Animals

Association on Second Avenue...

...is the secret headquarters

of the Army of the Twelve Monkeys."

They're the ones

who are gonna do it.

I can't do anything more now.

I have to go.

Have a merry Christmas."

You couldn't have heard me.

I-

They got your message, Kathryn.

They played it for me.

It was a bad recording,

distorted.

I didn't recognize your voice.

[ Indistinct ]

- For the perfect Christmas gift-

- Mmm, and this.

Is everything okay?

You want anything?

Shall I

put this on your account, ma'am?

No. That'll be cash.

Uh-

Can you tell me what floor

the wigs are on?

You turned the thing

into a f***ing computer.

- And Fale believed it.

- You know Fale.

If you guys get nailed,

which I'm pretty sure you will,

I've never seen you before

in my f***in' life.

- Aha!

- Yeah!

C'mon, c'mon.

Bring 'im through.

C'mon.

Okay, drive!

What's the harm in openin'

the bag? His eyes are taped, right?

Right?

Okay. Okay.

Hello. Hello.

- Wanna hear the monkey speak?

- Yeah!

Ahh! Jeffrey?

Jeffrey, I know that's you.

- I recognize your voice.

- No, you don't.

I also know all about

your warped little plan.

That lady, your psychiatrist?

She told me. I didn't believe her.

It just seemed too crazy,

even for you.

But just in case, I took steps to make

sure you couldn't go through with it.

I don't have the code anymore,

Jeffrey.

I don't have access

to the virus.

I took myself...

- out of the loop.

- Too late! Too late!

We've got plans for you, Dad.

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!

Agh! Agh! Agh!

I never let myself believe it.

Now I know it's true.

- Jeffrey?

- Hmm?

You're completely insane.

No, I'm not.

There's a cross section of one

of the old trees that's been cut down.

Here I was born.

And there I died.

It was only a moment for you.

Y-You took no notice.

- I think I've seen this movie before.

- Shh.

- When I was a kid, I saw it on TV.

- Don't talk.

- I did see it before.

- Tall trees.

Have you been here before?

- Yes.

- When?

- I don't... recognize this.

- When were you born?

- Long ago.

- Where?

What's the matter?

- Tell me. Madeleine, tell me.

- No!

It's just like

what's happening with us.

Like the past.

The movie never changes.

It can't change.

But every time you see it, it seems

different because you're different.

- You see different things.

- Please don't ask me.

If you can't change anything

because it's already happened,

you may as well

smell the flowers.

What flowers?

- That's an expression.

- Shh.

Promise me

you won't ask me again. Please?

Kathryn,

why are you doing this?

I want to know why.

What if I'm wrong?

What if you're wrong?

What if I am crazy?

In a few weeks,

it will have started or it won't.

If there's still...

football games, traffic jams,

TV shows and armed robberies,

we're going to be so glad that we'll

be thrilled to see the police.

I'm responsible for you now.

- The Chinese say

once you've saved a person's life,

- Shh.

- you're responsible for it

forever, so I'm committed.
