... and then the arrangement of collapsing rocks

How do you calculate...

- And when will we know that?

Nancy! It's difficult to make an estimate,

at least as long as we are on this first stage

What's the matter Daria, where are you?

I'm in a city here in the desert,

I called to tell you that

I'll get late to Phoenix

- But Why? - I'm looking for a place

called Glenville

or Ballyville or something like that

Something with "Ville" inside.

You know the desert, does it ring a bell?

"Ville"... Hold on, wait.

with "Ville". What do you mean?

Like Denville?

A place in the desert,

Denville is in Connecticut.

Or maybe it ends in "Hill",

a word like that

Yes, well, but why

do you want to go to a town

you don't even know the name of?

An appointment?

A friend of mine told me it's

the perfect place to meditate.

- And what are you going to do there?

- Think thoughts

think what? Daria! Listen to me,

give me your number,

I'll try to get the name of the town

and call you back, ok?

No, no, or else you'd be capable of sending

an helicopter to fetch me

Daria!

- Please come back in three minutes

- Just a moment miss

Listen up, give me your number

and hang up,

I'll call you back in five minutes,

so that I pay for the call.

See you in Phoenix

Excuse me, do you know

a place nearby

called Glenville or Ballyville

something like that?

- Barkstead?

- Oh, that's it

- Of course, that's where we are

- Oh really?

Did you come here to visit

a James Patterson by chance?

- How do you know that?

- You have the same look.

Tell him as for me that

he'll be the death of this town,

that he's going to ruin

a piece of American history.

Jimmy?

- Do you remember Jonny Wilson?

- Jonny Wilson? No.

That's me.

I was middleweight world champion.

- Middleweight world champion?

Bravo! - Thank you.

He wants to be a benefactor,

he brought pack of children here

from Los Angeles

he says, they are ill, traumatized,

do you know what it means?

But if Los Angeles doesn't want them,

why should we?

F***!

You damned criminals!

Just try to come back!

So, you've seen it with your own eyes,

that glass will cost me 30 dollars

Hey you!

Listen to me!

Hey you!

Hey, come back!

Listen, where's Jimmy?

Where's the guy who brought you here?

Isn't he here with you?

Will you give me a piece of your ass?

- Are you sure you know

what to do with it? - Yes.

What the hell are you doing?

What the hell...

Who the hell is he?

But... But what the hell does that guy want?

Thank you for the T-shirt,

but I don't think it's good for me

Why? Wrong color?

Wrong sex.

- What direction are you taking?

- Phoenix.

Phoenix? There's nothing in Phoenix.

Listen, I'm in trouble.

And, since you've a car,

could you give me a lift?

so that we can go and look for some more petrol.

- Far from here?

I don't know.

That guy said maybe 30 miles.

It's ok.

The radio said,

someone stole a plane this morning.

Tell the truth, was it you?

And why?

To get off the ground

Stop it!

This is an area of ancient lake beds,

deposited 5 to 10 million years ago.

These beds have been tilted and

pushed upward by earth forces

and eroded by wind and water.

They contain borates and gypsum

Borates and gypsum?

Two old gold diggers that got lost

How do these plants live here?

They're so beautiful

What else do you do, other than flying?

Until yesterday I've been driving a

wrecker for a cloth storehouse

But I've also been doing other things

- The university?

- A bit.

Why did you leave it?

Graduate?

- Activities out of program.

- What do you mean?

Stealing binded books

instead of poket editions,

making phone calls from the rector's line,

whistling in the classroom,

bringing in forbidden stuff,

like dogs, bikes or women.

What is wrong with that?

We did it in the open.

Once I went to the office

and I reversed the calculators,

and so...

They kicked me out.

You know why? Because I've sent

engineers to art classes

Uhm, she's coming down too

Tell me the rest of your braveries

Once I painted myself black,

but it didn't work,

so I returned to be as I was before

Did you hear that Mexicans

are bombarding marjuana fields on the border?

I'd like to know what else is happening

Nothing about the demonstration?

No, I prefer to listen to some music

Now they speak about it only if there are

at least 200 or 300 wounded

Yes, some kind of record

Or dead

Yes, someone killed a policeman,

and someone trampled on the flowerbed

I was looking for a rock station.

They said the guy who killed the

agent was a white man

Uhm, a white man

going on the black's side, eh?

just like the old John Brown

Do you want us to go to the river?

- See you down there!

- Wait!

Hey you, foolhardy!

Are you ok?

Do you want to smoke?

- Look, you're not talking to a free man.

- What does it mean?

Perhaps it's nothing serious,

but the people of my group have some

rules about smoking,

they're bound to reality

What a bore!

Let's look for some shade

What does it mean

"bound to reality"?

Oh yes, they're not able

to imagine anything

Sorry, but, you know, you could have left them

I wasn't really in a group,

you know, all that chatting makes me sick

but at a certain point you have

to decide on one side or the other

Ther're lots of sides,

not only the good and the bad

Stop it

- What's your name?

- Daria.

The point is that if you don't

recognize them as bad,

you can't get rid of them

Do you think that if we get rid of them,

the world will be different?

Why not? Can you think

of something better for us to do?

Us who? Your group?

You and me

You and me?

It's nice here,

It's quiet

It's dead

Ok, It's dead

So let's play a game

You'll start from a side of the valley,

I'll start from the other side

And we'll see, who kills the most

We'll begin with snakes and lizards,

and then go on to wild rabbits

At the end, we'll count how many we've killed,

and the winner will kill the loser

Did I say something stupid?

Don't you want to play this game?

I don't want to play any game

It's nice of you to stay

with a guy who doesn't smoke

I'm tolerant

But what are you doing here?

Phoenix, are you serious?

Because of work.

I have to go there

You're really tolerant

Pretend that your thoughts are plants

Ok

What do they look like?

Grown like in a garden

or wild, like a fern or a rambling,

I mean weeds

A sort of jungle

It'd be nice to plant

thoughts in heads,

so that no one would have bad memories

It could be possible to plant, you know,

only the good things you've made

like a happy childhood,

strong parents,

only the good things

Just to forget how horrible it was

That's the point!

There's nothing horrible

Please!

Sometimes I feel like shouting

Why don't you do it?

There's nobody around here,

nothing, just the desert

- But if someone...? - Yeah, a ghost,

you can wake the dead.

At any rate

At any rate

What?

It should be just one word
