00:02:05.792 --> 00:02:08.329
How did we end up here?
00:02:14.334 --> 00:02:16.336
This place is horrible.
00:02:22.009 --> 00:02:24.182
Smells like balls.
00:02:30.183 --> 00:02:32.324
We don't belong in this shithole.
00:02:51.472 --> 00:02:52.573
Hey, Sam.
00:02:52.593 --> 00:02:53.439
- Dad.
- Hi, hon.
00:02:53.440 --> 00:02:54.913
What kind of... Shut up!
00:02:54.941 --> 00:02:56.386
What kind of flowers did
you say you wanted?
00:02:56.610 --> 00:02:59.386
Alchemillas. Or something
that smells nice, you know...
00:02:59.613 --> 00:03:02.617
- Something soothing. Listen, I can't...
- It all smells like fucking kimchi!
00:03:02.883 --> 00:03:06.427
OK. Something that's, uh... that looks
nice. You know. Anything but roses.
00:03:06.452 --> 00:03:08.425
- I hate this job.
- OK.
00:03:29.242 --> 00:03:30.744
Riggan, everyone's set for 1-4.
00:03:30.844 --> 00:03:32.255
They're ready for you.
00:03:34.081 --> 00:03:36.083
Riggan, they're ready for you.
00:04:08.915 --> 00:04:10.417
- Mr. Thomson.
- Steve.
00:04:10.684 --> 00:04:12.686
- It's Daniel.
- OK.
00:04:15.589 --> 00:04:17.432
- Oh, hey, buddy. How you doing?
- Hey.
00:04:17.691 --> 00:04:21.104
Pretty good. Good. Yeah, I'd be a
lot better if I could get, uh...
00:04:21.361 --> 00:04:23.363
Ralph to stop, you know, acting.
00:04:23.597 --> 00:04:24.701
He's gonna be fine.
00:04:24.931 --> 00:04:28.037
And he was yelling, "I love
you, I love you, bitch!"
00:04:28.101 --> 00:04:29.944
What do you do with a love like that?
00:04:30.270 --> 00:04:32.648
How is that... That is not
love and you know it.
00:04:32.739 --> 00:04:33.974
Why do you insist on calling it love?
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.782
You can say what you want,
but I know what it was.
00:04:37.043 --> 00:04:39.546
What about you, Nick? Does
that sound like love, to you?
00:04:39.780 --> 00:04:41.623
Sorry I'm late. Uhh, sounds like love...
00:04:41.882 --> 00:04:43.122
Look, I'm the wrong person to ask.
00:04:43.216 --> 00:04:46.390
I only knew-heard the man's
name mentioned in passing.
00:04:46.620 --> 00:04:48.463
I wouldn't know. You'd have
to know the particulars.
00:04:48.555 --> 00:04:51.126
But, I think you're saying
is, love is absolute.
00:04:51.458 --> 00:04:53.802
Yeah. The kind of love
I'm talking about is...
00:04:54.060 --> 00:04:55.505
The kind of love I'm talking about,
00:04:55.595 --> 00:04:56.903
you don't try and kill people.
00:04:57.130 --> 00:04:59.007
It was love, Mel. To Eddie, it was.
00:04:59.099 --> 00:05:00.737
I don't care what anyone says.
00:05:00.801 --> 00:05:01.973
He was ready to die for it.
00:05:02.235 --> 00:05:04.806
Ask her what he did after she left him.
00:05:05.138 --> 00:05:07.516
He shot himself in the mouth,
but he screwed that up, too.
00:05:07.607 --> 00:05:08.745
Poor Ed.
00:05:08.975 --> 00:05:11.819
Poor Ed, my ass! The guy was... dangerous!
00:05:12.078 --> 00:05:14.422
Well, how'd he screw it up, if
he shot himself in the mouth?
00:05:14.648 --> 00:05:17.322
He used to carry this .22. We
lived like fugitives, then.
00:05:17.651 --> 00:05:18.994
Ralph, Ralph, Ralph.
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:20.821
Fugitives are... scared, you know?
00:05:20.921 --> 00:05:24.164
Fugitives are on the run. So, you
know, how many times can we get...
00:05:24.491 --> 00:05:26.835
Can you give me more of that?
You know, fear?
00:05:27.093 --> 00:05:28.436
Yeah. Great idea.
00:05:29.162 --> 00:05:31.005
We lived like fugitives then.
00:05:31.331 --> 00:05:33.868
I never knew if he was gonna
come out from behind a bush,
00:05:33.967 --> 00:05:35.674
or-or a car, and just start shooting.
00:05:35.936 --> 00:05:39.110
The man was crazy! He was
capable of anything!
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.112
- Christ, what a nightmare.
- Yeah!
00:05:41.341 --> 00:05:43.184
He used call me up, at
the hospital, and say:
00:05:43.510 --> 00:05:47.185
"Son of a bitch, your days are numbered!"
00:05:49.349 --> 00:05:51.488
It's too much? It's a little bit too much.
00:05:51.551 --> 00:05:54.031
I can tell, because with you... I
just want to give you a range.
00:05:54.032 --> 00:05:55.768
Oh! Shit!
00:05:55.789 --> 00:05:57.200
Someone call 911!
00:05:57.524 --> 00:05:58.667
Oh, my God! Is he breathing?
00:05:58.725 --> 00:06:01.327
- Is that blood coming out of his ear?
- It's OK, he's still breathing.
00:06:01.361 --> 00:06:02.362
Where are you going?
00:06:02.629 --> 00:06:03.664
Well, did someone call 911?
00:06:03.730 --> 00:06:05.971
- Do not move him! Wait for an ambulance!
- Did someone call for help?
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.042
Well, that's gonna be a fucking lawsuit.
00:06:08.301 --> 00:06:10.603
OK, where you going? The understudy'll
be ready in less than 5 minutes.
00:06:10.637 --> 00:06:12.810
Forget the understudy. We have
to cancel the first preview.
00:06:12.973 --> 00:06:14.884
But it's a full house! We would
have to refund the entire...
00:06:14.975 --> 00:06:16.386
Just do it. Just do it.
00:06:16.406 --> 00:06:17.142
What happened?
00:06:17.143 --> 00:06:18.315
- How's Ralph?
- He'll be fine.
00:06:18.478 --> 00:06:20.151
Wait, wait, wait. Will you fucking wait?
00:06:20.380 --> 00:06:22.053
Listen to me, Jake, it
was gonna be a disaster.
00:06:22.148 --> 00:06:23.718
That guy's the worst actor
I've ever seen in my life.
00:06:24.050 --> 00:06:26.252
The blood coming out of his ear is the
most honest thing he's done, so far.
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.321
He's not that bad!
00:06:29.723 --> 00:06:31.396
OK, he's fucking terrible. But,
00:06:31.725 --> 00:06:34.899
Listen. You have the press in your
dressing room in a few hours.
00:06:34.961 --> 00:06:37.332
I'll make something up. I don't know.
I'll think of something. I'll riff.
00:06:37.430 --> 00:06:38.534
Listen. Hold on.
00:06:40.233 --> 00:06:42.235
That wasn't an accident.
00:06:44.170 --> 00:06:45.342
What do you mean?
00:06:45.572 --> 00:06:47.245
I made it happen.
00:06:47.574 --> 00:06:48.917
Oh, OK.
00:06:49.242 --> 00:06:50.585
Are you drunk?
00:06:50.911 --> 00:06:54.085
Just find me an actor-a good actor.
Gimme, uh... Woody Harrelson!
00:06:54.414 --> 00:06:55.916
He's doing the next Hunger Games.
00:06:56.182 --> 00:06:57.354
Um, uh, Michael Fassbender.
00:06:57.584 --> 00:06:59.427
He's doing the prequel
to the X-Men prequel.
00:06:59.686 --> 00:07:01.688
- How about, um, uh, Jeremy Renner?
- Who?
00:07:01.922 --> 00:07:05.927
Jeremy Renner! He was nominated.
The... he was the Hurt Locker guy.
00:07:06.192 --> 00:07:07.603
He's an Avenger.
00:07:07.861 --> 00:07:11.707
Fuck! They put him in a cape, too? God!
I can't believe this! I don't care.
00:07:11.932 --> 00:07:13.434
Just find me someone.
00:07:14.768 --> 00:07:18.272
Ralph will sue us. He will
sue us and he has a case.
00:07:21.274 --> 00:07:22.617
Just make it go away.
00:07:22.943 --> 00:07:27.619
Look, you're my attorney. You're my
producer. You're my best friend. Right?
00:07:27.881 --> 00:07:31.226
Now, go out there and do what you were born
to do. I don't care how you do it, just go.
00:07:31.451 --> 00:07:33.624
How do you suppose I do that? How...
00:07:35.956 --> 00:07:39.301
When we come back, an exclusive
interview with Robert Downey, Jr...
00:07:39.559 --> 00:07:42.904
who's busy following up his
billion-dollar Iron Man franchise...
00:07:43.129 --> 00:07:46.975
with the equally successful Avengers series.
He will take us behind the scene...
00:07:55.976 --> 00:07:58.479
That clown doesn't have half your talent...
00:07:58.745 --> 00:08:02.750
and he's making a fortune
in that Tin Man get-up.
00:08:03.984 --> 00:08:06.328
We were the real thing, Riggan.
00:08:07.988 --> 00:08:09.661
We had it all.
00:08:10.323 --> 00:08:12.166
We gave it away.
00:08:12.492 --> 00:08:13.835
Breathing in.
00:08:14.327 --> 00:08:17.171
We handed these poseurs
the keys to the kingdom.
00:08:17.430 --> 00:08:18.602
Breathing out.
00:08:18.832 --> 00:08:20.334
You listening to me?
00:08:21.334 --> 00:08:23.140
Breathing in, I embrace my anger.
00:08:24.004 --> 00:08:26.006
Yeah, embrace it.
00:08:26.272 --> 00:08:29.344
But I'm not going away. You know I'm right.
00:08:57.370 --> 00:08:59.043
Look at that.
00:09:00.540 --> 00:09:03.885
These people don't know
what you're capable of.
00:09:10.050 --> 00:09:12.656
Why would somebody go from playing
00:09:12.719 --> 00:09:15.063
the lead in a comic book franchise...
00:09:15.388 --> 00:09:19.564
to adapting Raymond Carver for the stage?
00:09:20.060 --> 00:09:23.064
As you're probably aware, Barthes said:
00:09:23.329 --> 00:09:27.835
"The cultural work done in the
past by gods and epic sagas...
00:09:28.068 --> 00:09:31.743
"is now being done by laundry
detergent commercials...
00:09:32.072 --> 00:09:34.416
"and comic strip characters."
00:09:35.008 --> 00:09:36.851
This is a big leap you've taken.
00:09:37.077 --> 00:09:40.081
Yeah, it is. Absolutely. Absolutely.
00:09:40.113 --> 00:09:42.515
And, you know. Like you said...
00:09:42.749 --> 00:09:45.628
that, uh, Barthes said, uh...
00:09:46.086 --> 00:09:47.258
Birdman, like Icarus...
00:09:47.520 --> 00:09:50.057
OK, w-w-w-w-wait. Hang on.
Who is this Barthes guy?
00:09:50.123 --> 00:09:51.431
Which Birdman was he in?
00:09:51.691 --> 00:09:54.399
Uh, Roland Barthes was
a French philosopher,
00:09:54.461 --> 00:09:56.702
and if you knew anything
about the history of...
00:09:56.930 --> 00:10:00.935
Now is it true you've been injecting
yourself with semen from baby pigs?
00:10:01.434 --> 00:10:03.778
- I'm sorry, what?
- As a method of facial rejuvenation?
00:10:04.104 --> 00:10:05.208
Where did you read that?
00:10:05.438 --> 00:10:08.442
It was tweeted by @prostatewhispers.
00:10:08.775 --> 00:10:09.813
No. That's not true.
00:10:09.876 --> 00:10:10.846
I know, but did you do it?
00:10:10.877 --> 00:10:12.777
No, I didn't do it. I just...
I just said, it isn't true.
00:10:12.778 --> 00:10:13.921
OK, I'll write you're denying it.
00:10:13.947 --> 00:10:17.121
No! Don't write anything. Why would
you write anything? I didn't-I didn't do...
00:10:17.450 --> 00:10:20.954
Don't write what she said. I didn't do it.
I didn't put any baby pig sem...
00:10:21.287 --> 00:10:24.962
Are you at all afraid that, uh, people
will say you're doing this play...
00:10:25.225 --> 00:10:28.338
to battle the impression that
you're a washed-up superhero?
00:10:28.394 --> 00:10:30.396
No, absolutely not. Absolutely not.
That's why...
00:10:30.630 --> 00:10:34.476
twenty years ago, I said no to Birdman 4.
That's why...
00:10:35.802 --> 00:10:38.476
Birdman 4'? You do Birdman 4?!
00:10:38.805 --> 00:10:41.149
Thank you for coming out. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
00:10:41.241 --> 00:10:43.152
We're expecting some great pieces.
00:10:43.476 --> 00:10:46.650
The guys in publicity...
00:10:47.147 --> 00:10:49.149
now, want a Times feature,
00:10:49.249 --> 00:10:51.820
which is the worst idea right now.
00:10:55.421 --> 00:10:56.593
What are you doing?
00:10:56.656 --> 00:10:57.760
I don't wanna look at this anymore.
00:10:57.991 --> 00:10:59.493
That-that was a present from the crew.
00:10:59.592 --> 00:11:01.103
Don't-don't fuck with those
guys, they're union.
00:11:01.327 --> 00:11:02.670
I don't care.
00:11:03.329 --> 00:11:05.434
- How'd it go?
- Good.
00:11:05.665 --> 00:11:07.372
They talk about Ralph, at all?
He did it, you know.
00:11:07.467 --> 00:11:08.844
The motherfucker did it.
00:11:09.102 --> 00:11:11.304
Threatened to sue us. Didn't even
wait to get out of the hospital.
00:11:11.337 --> 00:11:12.839
- What'd YOU Say?
- What'd I say?
00:11:13.106 --> 00:11:15.609
I said, "You motherfucker,
are you threatening me?
00:11:15.675 --> 00:11:18.080
"I swear to God, if I so much as
get a letter from a lawyer...
00:11:18.111 --> 00:11:20.885
"then the press is gonna get the pictures
off your computer." That's what I said.
00:11:20.947 --> 00:11:22.119
What pictures?
00:11:22.348 --> 00:11:25.352
He has a thing for nuns... in diapers.
00:11:25.685 --> 00:11:29.531
Why do you care? You shouldn't have any knowledge
of that, anyway. Point is, is I made it go away.
00:11:29.856 --> 00:11:31.199
That's right. That's great.
00:11:31.457 --> 00:11:34.269
- Yeah, it is fantastic, except for one thing.
- What?
00:11:34.294 --> 00:11:35.798
- We don't have an actor.
- Uh-huh.
00:11:35.862 --> 00:11:38.506
And if we cancel the first preview,
the press is gonna smell blood.
00:11:38.531 --> 00:11:40.704
And we can't afford to lose
any more money. At all.
00:11:40.967 --> 00:11:42.310
OK. What do you think I should do?
00:11:42.535 --> 00:11:43.878
Well, we hired an understudy.
00:11:43.970 --> 00:11:45.210
- Let's use the understudy.
- No.
00:11:45.471 --> 00:11:48.543
Riggan, listen to me. Please,
for the love of God, listen.
00:11:48.875 --> 00:11:51.355
Our perfect dream actor is not
gonna knock on that door and go,
00:11:51.477 --> 00:11:53.548
"Hey, fellas, when do I start?“ You know?
00:11:55.548 --> 00:11:57.391
- Can I talk to you for a second?
- Yeah. What's up'?
00:11:57.650 --> 00:11:59.321
- Did you find another actor?
- No.
00:11:59.341 --> 00:12:00.485
OK, well...
00:12:00.486 --> 00:12:01.588
- Mike's available.
- He is?
00:12:01.608 --> 00:12:02.221
Mike who?
00:12:02.222 --> 00:12:03.428
- I thought he was doing the thing...
- He was...
00:12:03.523 --> 00:12:05.330
He quit. Or got fired.
00:12:05.425 --> 00:12:06.326
Mike who?
00:12:06.392 --> 00:12:08.394
- Which is it, quit or fired?
- Well, with Mike, it's usually both.
00:12:08.661 --> 00:12:10.334
- Mike fucking who?
- Shiner.
00:12:10.563 --> 00:12:11.906
- Yes!
- Jake.
00:12:12.165 --> 00:12:13.906
Oh, my gosh! How do you know Mike Shiner?
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.440
We share a vagina.
00:12:15.501 --> 00:12:16.702
- You think he'd wanna do it'?
- Mm-hm.
00:12:16.736 --> 00:12:18.511
- How do you know?
- 'Cause he told me he'd wanna do it.
00:12:18.738 --> 00:12:20.115
- Jake. Jake.
- Yes.
00:12:20.206 --> 00:12:22.083
Ask me if he sells tickets.
00:12:22.342 --> 00:12:23.412
Fine. Does he sell tickets?
00:12:23.509 --> 00:12:26.553
He sells a shitload of tickets. Now, ask
me if the theater critics love him.
00:12:26.579 --> 00:12:27.785
Do theater critics love him?
00:12:27.880 --> 00:12:29.858
- They want to spooge on him.
- Hey!
00:12:30.183 --> 00:12:31.426
- Lesley.
- Right on his face.
00:12:31.446 --> 00:12:32.551
Everything for a reason, right?
00:12:32.852 --> 00:12:33.924
You think he'd come in this evening?
00:12:34.020 --> 00:12:35.795
I'll call him and find out.
00:12:36.122 --> 00:12:37.465
I'll call his agent.
00:12:38.191 --> 00:12:39.192
Amazing, amazing.
00:12:47.634 --> 00:12:50.638
Annie? Clear the theater,
send everyone to dinner
00:12:50.737 --> 00:12:52.648
and give me some lights!
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:54.211
We got a put-in tonight.
00:12:54.274 --> 00:12:55.378
Who is it?
00:12:55.642 --> 00:12:56.985
You'll find out.
00:13:10.156 --> 00:13:11.829
Intimidating, isn't it?
00:13:12.325 --> 00:13:13.895
You have any idea the people who have
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.998
walked on these boards... before you?
00:13:17.664 --> 00:13:20.167
Geraldine Page. Helen Hayes.
00:13:20.500 --> 00:13:24.471
Jason Robards. Marlon Brando.
And now Riggan Thomson.
00:13:24.971 --> 00:13:27.815
Hey, thanks for coming in on such short
notice, Mike. I really appreciate it.
00:13:28.141 --> 00:13:29.484
This is what I do.
00:13:29.575 --> 00:13:31.145
You-you-you wrote this adaptation?
00:13:31.411 --> 00:13:32.583
- I did, yeah.
- Ah.
00:13:32.812 --> 00:13:35.986
And you're directing and starring, in
your adaptation. That's ambitious.
00:13:36.316 --> 00:13:37.317
Well, thanks.
00:13:37.650 --> 00:13:39.994
Well, it's a good theater.
00:13:40.653 --> 00:13:44.457
I can't speak for your play, but... let's,
uh... let's do a little bit of it. Yeah?
00:13:44.490 --> 00:13:46.795
Oh, I didn't expect you to come in
and, you know, just jump right in.
00:13:46.826 --> 00:13:49.329
It's first preview tomorrow night, man.
Let's-let's get to work.
00:13:49.595 --> 00:13:53.441
OK. Well, you know, look... you know, feel free
to take the script up until you feel comfortable.
00:13:53.466 --> 00:13:56.169
No, no, no, let's just-let's
just do-do some of it.
00:13:56.203 --> 00:13:58.004
Aaaalright! OK, uh...
00:13:58.604 --> 00:13:59.947
Hey, take a look at page 20.
00:14:00.173 --> 00:14:01.775
- I-I'm good. I don't need that.
- What?
00:14:01.841 --> 00:14:03.147
I don't need the script.
Just give me a cue.
00:14:03.209 --> 00:14:04.347
What are you talking about?
00:14:04.610 --> 00:14:06.283
- Feed me a line.
- Whaa... h-h-how are you gonna...
00:14:06.512 --> 00:14:07.684
Feed me a line.
00:14:07.780 --> 00:14:08.850
OK! Alright.
00:14:09.182 --> 00:14:13.655
OK, uh... let me think. Uh... yeah... uh...
00:14:13.686 --> 00:14:16.530
Hey, I'm the wrong person to ask, OK.
I didn't actually know the man.
00:14:16.656 --> 00:14:18.966
- I only heard his name mentioned in passing.
- Mmm-hmm.
00:14:19.025 --> 00:14:20.663
I don't know. You'd have
to know the particulars.
00:14:20.793 --> 00:14:24.036
But I think what you're
saying is love is absolute.
00:14:24.864 --> 00:14:28.311
Is that what I'm saying? Am
I saying love is absolute?
00:14:28.368 --> 00:14:30.211
Yes. OK, yeah! The kind of love
00:14:30.303 --> 00:14:31.873
I'm talking about is absolute.
00:14:32.205 --> 00:14:35.880
The kind of love that I'm talking
about, you don't try to kill people!
00:14:36.142 --> 00:14:37.815
How do you know the lines?
00:14:38.378 --> 00:14:42.252
- It's a thing I have. I don't know, it's a gift.
- Wow. OK, so, that's, uh...
00:14:42.382 --> 00:14:45.386
Oh, come on, man. I've been-I've been helping
Lesley get off book for, like, a month.
00:14:45.451 --> 00:14:48.163
- Oh, right! Right. Right, right, right.
- These lines are right here. That makes sense.
00:14:48.388 --> 00:14:49.992
- That's good. Give me my cue again.
- OK.
00:14:50.223 --> 00:14:52.726
Hey, I'm the wrong person to ask.
I didn't actually know the man.
00:14:52.992 --> 00:14:55.734
I've heard his name mentioned in passing.
But, yeah, I didn't know...
00:14:55.995 --> 00:14:58.607
You never know the particulars.
I think what you're saying...
00:14:58.664 --> 00:15:00.507
- C-can I make a suggestion?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
00:15:00.566 --> 00:15:02.239
- Do you mind?
- No, no, no, not at all.
00:15:02.568 --> 00:15:06.046
No, no, forget-forget that.
Just... stay with me.
00:15:06.406 --> 00:15:10.081
"I'm the wrong person to ask," he says, but
what-what is that? What's the intention in that?
00:15:10.343 --> 00:15:12.254
Is he fed up with the
subject, so he's changing it?
00:15:12.345 --> 00:15:14.018
Is he deflecting guilt over the marriage?
00:15:14.247 --> 00:15:16.454
And here's the thing, you've
got four lines after that
00:15:16.549 --> 00:15:19.257
that all say the same thing.
"I didn't even know the man."
00:15:19.585 --> 00:15:21.792
"I only heard his name
mentioned in passing."
00:15:21.888 --> 00:15:23.094
"I wouldn't Know."
00:15:23.356 --> 00:15:24.767
"You'd have to know the particulars."
00:15:24.857 --> 00:15:27.030
And the "Particulars," I mean,
it sounds like my grandmother. But, but,
00:15:27.260 --> 00:15:30.935
the point is, you don't know the guy.
We fucking get it.
00:15:31.264 --> 00:15:32.607
Make it work with one line.
00:15:32.698 --> 00:15:34.769
"I didn't even know the man." Right?
00:15:35.101 --> 00:15:37.945
Wait... I-I-I... You
know my lines, too, huh?
00:15:38.271 --> 00:15:40.544
- Can-can we not get hung up on knowing lines?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:40.640 --> 00:15:42.711
Can we just work on this? Tear it apart?
00:15:42.875 --> 00:15:45.116
So-so, why don't you just give
me that same thing again,
00:15:45.211 --> 00:15:47.384
- but cut it down. Try it.
- OK. Uh...
00:15:47.613 --> 00:15:48.956
Hey, I'm the wrong person to ask.
00:15:49.215 --> 00:15:52.128
Oh, no! But that's the thing, see? "I'm
the wrong person to ask." What is it?
00:15:52.218 --> 00:15:53.219
I think it's, "Fuck you."
00:15:53.453 --> 00:15:55.797
"Fuck you. Don't-don't put
me on the spot, man."
00:15:56.055 --> 00:15:58.797
"Don't-don't make me feel
self-conscious about my marriage
00:15:58.891 --> 00:16:00.893
"while my life-my wife is sitting...“
00:16:01.127 --> 00:16:02.800
- Right there.
- "right there."
00:16:03.129 --> 00:16:05.873
- Can I sit down for this?
- Yeah, sit, sit. Good idea. Yeah.
00:16:05.898 --> 00:16:09.402
So just give it to me as a "Fuck
you." Try it. Lay it on me.
00:16:09.635 --> 00:16:10.978
Just do it. Come on. Give it to me.
00:16:11.237 --> 00:16:13.581
- Well, I'm thinking.
- Fuck me hard. Just give it.
00:16:13.806 --> 00:16:15.107
Come on! Don't talk about it! Just do it!
00:16:15.174 --> 00:16:17.076
Hey, I'm the wrong person to ask, alright?!
00:16:17.143 --> 00:16:19.089
I don't even know the guy, OK?
What's your point?!
00:16:19.112 --> 00:16:21.492
- What's my point?
- Yeah, what's your point? What are you saying?
00:16:21.547 --> 00:16:22.685
- Spit it out!
- Oh! Oh!
00:16:22.748 --> 00:16:25.820
You're saying what? What're you saying?
You're saying love is absolute.
00:16:26.085 --> 00:16:27.587
Yes! Yes!
00:16:27.653 --> 00:16:30.759
The kind of love that I'm
talking about, it is absolute!
00:16:30.990 --> 00:16:32.594
The kind of love that I'm talking about,
00:16:32.658 --> 00:16:33.830
you don't...
00:16:34.994 --> 00:16:37.338
you don't try to kill people.
00:16:40.833 --> 00:16:42.176
Yeah. Good.
00:16:42.202 --> 00:16:44.038
- I don't know, what do you think, boss?
- Wow. OK.
00:16:44.136 --> 00:16:46.673
You wanna do this with me?
00:16:47.173 --> 00:16:48.516
What do you think?
00:16:48.774 --> 00:16:51.448
Everybody's back. Larry needs
to see him for a fitting.
00:16:52.111 --> 00:16:53.283
I'll take that as a yes.
00:16:57.016 --> 00:16:58.359
So, who are you?
00:16:58.618 --> 00:17:00.962
- That's Sam, my daughter.
- Oh.
00:17:01.020 --> 00:17:03.694
Your daughter! Wow! That's amazing. You
don't look anything like each other.
00:17:03.789 --> 00:17:05.029
What do you do?
00:17:05.358 --> 00:17:07.531
- Um...
- She's my assistant. Works with me.
00:17:07.793 --> 00:17:10.535
And does she talk, uh... and speak?
00:17:10.863 --> 00:17:12.308
She does. Yeah.
00:17:12.365 --> 00:17:16.368
She can even sit or stay or roll
over, if you have any treats.
00:17:16.369 --> 00:17:17.712
Hey, welcome aboard, Mike!
00:17:17.803 --> 00:17:19.043
Thank you, Captain.
00:17:20.072 --> 00:17:22.712
Um, I'm Mike... Shiner, by the way.
00:17:22.975 --> 00:17:24.318
Oh, I know who you are.
00:17:24.544 --> 00:17:27.923
I, uh, I saw you in
Hothouse, at the Geffen.
00:17:28.014 --> 00:17:29.049
You were great.
00:17:29.148 --> 00:17:31.754
Oh, thank you. Your ass is great.
00:17:32.385 --> 00:17:34.729
Dude. Seriously?
00:17:35.721 --> 00:17:37.166
You see..that was just me...
00:17:37.390 --> 00:17:39.392
Larry? Larry?
00:17:39.892 --> 00:17:41.064
This is the theater, sweetheart.
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:42.400
Don't be so self-conscious.
00:17:42.662 --> 00:17:43.732
He's here.
00:17:43.996 --> 00:17:46.237
OK. Thank the Lord and pass the biscuits.
00:17:46.332 --> 00:17:47.333
I finally have an actor to dress.
00:17:47.567 --> 00:17:48.602
How have you been, Larry?
00:17:48.701 --> 00:17:50.908
Better now that you're here.
Take off your clothes.
00:17:53.906 --> 00:17:55.351
You're just gonna stand there?
00:17:55.575 --> 00:17:58.078
This is the theater, honey.
Don't be so self-conscious.
00:17:58.344 --> 00:18:02.349
We have to start from scratch
with less than 24 hours.
00:18:02.582 --> 00:18:03.925
Here. Try these.
00:18:04.250 --> 00:18:06.594
Holy sh...! What's happeneing?
Where are your underpants?
00:18:06.852 --> 00:18:08.825
Under the bed, at home, I think.
00:18:08.888 --> 00:18:10.089
OK. Uh...
00:18:10.756 --> 00:18:14.230
No. OK, OK. Everything's too small.
00:18:14.260 --> 00:18:15.603
- You're not kidding.
- Oh.
00:18:15.928 --> 00:18:17.464
Whoa. That's nice.
00:18:17.563 --> 00:18:19.941
Forgive him, Larry. Mike's
like my 5-year-old son.
00:18:20.199 --> 00:18:21.542
Neither of them has clean underwear.
00:18:21.767 --> 00:18:24.111
Or pubic hair, I imagine. OK...
00:18:24.437 --> 00:18:25.711
I can alter the suit.
00:18:25.771 --> 00:18:28.081
But we're going to have to
make new trousers and shirts.
00:18:28.140 --> 00:18:29.448
And underwear.
00:18:30.610 --> 00:18:32.453
- What are you doing?
- Waiting on Larry.
00:18:32.712 --> 00:18:33.782
I'm finished!
00:18:34.046 --> 00:18:36.390
Then I'm just standing with my cock out.
00:18:36.616 --> 00:18:37.617
Well, get dressed.
00:18:37.717 --> 00:18:40.188
Riggan's daughter's hanging around and
I don't need her to walk in here.
00:18:40.220 --> 00:18:41.758
- Lesley.
- No, Mike. You haven't seen her.
00:18:41.821 --> 00:18:45.633
She's always around, watching
everyone, like Little Miss Creepy.
00:18:45.958 --> 00:18:48.461
I don't know if it's the drugs
that fried her brain or what...
00:18:48.728 --> 00:18:50.901
but I just don't want her
running to her father
00:18:50.963 --> 00:18:52.067
saying you showed her your junk.
00:18:52.298 --> 00:18:54.300
Then we should ask her to leave.
00:18:55.301 --> 00:18:56.803
- Oh, God. Really?
- Mmm-hmm.
00:18:56.902 --> 00:18:58.472
- Sammy?
- It's Sam.
00:18:58.738 --> 00:19:00.740
Sam. Lesley.
00:19:01.307 --> 00:19:02.650
Listen, um, when I said that I...
00:19:02.908 --> 00:19:05.912
Oh, don't worry about it.
He's a handful, huh?
00:19:08.314 --> 00:19:11.420
How is it that you always manage
to find a new way to humiliate me?
00:19:11.651 --> 00:19:13.597
Oh, to be fair, you make it really easy.
00:19:13.819 --> 00:19:15.162
What the hell was she doing here?
00:19:15.421 --> 00:19:17.094
- She brought me down.
- And stayed?
00:19:17.323 --> 00:19:19.667
- Well, she is a little... something.
- Listen, Mike.
00:19:19.925 --> 00:19:22.838
This is Broadway. And I'm here, finally.
00:19:23.095 --> 00:19:25.507
Now, please, do me a
favor, I'm begging you.
00:19:25.598 --> 00:19:26.770
Don't fuck it up!
00:19:27.099 --> 00:19:28.271
Lesley.
00:19:29.935 --> 00:19:31.710
Come here. Come here.
00:19:34.607 --> 00:19:36.450
Play with my balls.
00:19:36.876 --> 00:19:39.117
Don't do it. Ow!
00:19:39.445 --> 00:19:40.446
Just sign it.
00:19:40.613 --> 00:19:41.683
- Listen.
- No, you listen to me!
00:19:41.947 --> 00:19:42.948
I can't afford to listen to you.
00:19:43.115 --> 00:19:44.389
I'm gonna have to go shopping again.
00:19:44.483 --> 00:19:45.791
Just sew something, you old fuck!
00:19:46.018 --> 00:19:47.161
Give him whatever he wants!
00:19:47.253 --> 00:19:49.193
He just asked for four times what
we were paying what's-his-name!
00:19:49.254 --> 00:19:50.228
Go into the reserve, Jake.
00:19:50.322 --> 00:19:52.802
The reserve is gone! We spent
it on fog and those fake trees...
00:19:53.025 --> 00:19:54.026
It's a dream sequence, Jake.
00:19:54.293 --> 00:19:55.670
and goddam midgets!
00:19:55.728 --> 00:19:57.639
Hey, don't say... You're not
allowed to say "midget" anymore.
00:19:57.663 --> 00:19:59.006
The reserve is gone!
00:20:02.301 --> 00:20:04.303
You didn't see what I just saw.
00:20:04.637 --> 00:20:06.708
I'm telling you, this guy's the real deal.
00:20:06.806 --> 00:20:07.978
I can feel it in my bones.
00:20:08.074 --> 00:20:09.883
He's the actor we've been waiting for.
00:20:09.975 --> 00:20:11.921
Come on. Just get the contract done.
00:20:12.011 --> 00:20:14.491
Please, Jake. I'll get the money.
00:20:15.481 --> 00:20:17.283
- OK, I'll do it.
- OK.
00:20:18.050 --> 00:20:20.223
Get that smile off your face.
You're freaking me out.
00:20:20.486 --> 00:20:21.829
Sorry. You're right.
00:20:22.230 --> 00:20:23.368
Hey!
00:20:23.389 --> 00:20:25.062
Is it true? Shiner?
00:20:25.324 --> 00:20:26.564
Holy shit. When can I meet him?
00:20:26.659 --> 00:20:27.931
He's in a fitting, with Larry, right now.
00:20:28.060 --> 00:20:29.937
Hey, guys. I'm going to Starbucks.
You want anything?
00:20:30.029 --> 00:20:31.064
I'm good. I'm good.
00:20:31.330 --> 00:20:33.833
She has a great ass. Hey, I
have some news for you, too.
00:20:34.066 --> 00:20:36.171
Is it good or is it bad? 'Cause
I right now, I really...
00:20:36.402 --> 00:20:38.404
I missed my last two periods.
00:20:39.338 --> 00:20:41.181
I think it's really happening.
00:20:41.774 --> 00:20:43.014
Wow.
00:20:43.342 --> 00:20:45.253
Is that good or bad? Riggan!
00:20:45.344 --> 00:20:47.187
It's good. It's good. It's great.
00:20:47.513 --> 00:20:50.856
- Well, say something else.
- Um... OK.
00:20:51.016 --> 00:20:52.017
Uh...
00:20:52.084 --> 00:20:53.757
You sure it's mine?
00:20:54.186 --> 00:20:55.688
Well, you know, there's you,
00:20:55.755 --> 00:20:57.701
there's Jake, you know, that
masseur wore a condom... so,
00:20:57.923 --> 00:20:59.869
yeah, I'm pretty sure it's yours, yeah.
00:21:00.192 --> 00:21:01.364
Idiot.
00:21:04.029 --> 00:21:06.202
- Are you excited?
- Yeah.
00:21:07.199 --> 00:21:08.542
Me, too.
00:21:11.384 --> 00:21:12.684
What?
00:21:12.705 --> 00:21:14.548
You're not funny!
00:21:17.543 --> 00:21:19.887
What? Hey, what?
00:21:36.228 --> 00:21:38.401
First preview tomorrow.
00:21:40.232 --> 00:21:41.905
Here we go.
00:21:45.404 --> 00:21:48.248
I rode with him, in the
ambulance, to the hospital.
00:21:48.474 --> 00:21:51.318
I will never get that image out of my head.
00:21:51.577 --> 00:21:55.423
Right before he did it, those
eyes were so sad and-and lonely.
00:21:55.648 --> 00:21:57.321
Did you have to treat him?
00:21:57.416 --> 00:21:58.986
I didn't have to, but I did.
00:21:59.251 --> 00:22:02.596
Music out. Cue 34, 35 ready.
00:22:02.922 --> 00:22:04.265
He was in terrible shape.
00:22:04.323 --> 00:22:07.069
His head had swelled up. It was
twice the size of a normal head.
00:22:07.092 --> 00:22:09.094
- He's good, huh?
- He's incredible.
00:22:09.428 --> 00:22:11.271
I think he's drinking real gin.
00:22:11.597 --> 00:22:12.598
What?
00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:17.604
Ask-ask Nick. I-I want you to ask
Nick if he thinks that that's love.
00:22:17.837 --> 00:22:20.511
Oh, honey, can't we just go to dinner?
00:22:20.773 --> 00:22:22.616
Mel, don't get him started.
00:22:22.842 --> 00:22:25.015
You don't know how he's been lately.
00:22:25.110 --> 00:22:27.181
He's been depressed. I've
been worried about him.
00:22:27.446 --> 00:22:28.789
You've been what?
00:22:29.949 --> 00:22:34.125
Let me tell you... let me tell you guys something
about real love. I'll tell you something.
00:22:34.453 --> 00:22:36.626
We all should be ashamed
00:22:36.689 --> 00:22:38.635
when we talk like we know
what we're talking about...
00:22:38.691 --> 00:22:40.364
when we talk about love.
00:22:40.626 --> 00:22:42.628
Oh, for God's sake, are you getting drunk?
00:22:42.795 --> 00:22:44.365
I don't have to be drunk
to say what I think.
00:22:44.630 --> 00:22:47.133
- Nobody's drunk. We're just having a few drinks.
- Exactly.
00:22:47.366 --> 00:22:48.902
You've had more than a few.
00:22:49.001 --> 00:22:50.036
What are you, counting?
00:22:50.302 --> 00:22:53.146
Leave her alone. If you're not
drunk, don't talk like you're drunk.
00:22:53.372 --> 00:22:54.715
Shut up!
00:22:56.308 --> 00:22:58.515
Do me a favor. For once in your life,
00:22:58.577 --> 00:23:00.648
honest to God, shut up for a minute.
00:23:02.982 --> 00:23:05.656
Anyway, like I was saying...
00:23:06.151 --> 00:23:08.825
you want to know about real love,
there's this old couple...
00:23:09.989 --> 00:23:12.333
had a car wreck, out on the interstate.
00:23:13.492 --> 00:23:17.668
Some drunk kid... plowed
his old man's pickup...
00:23:18.330 --> 00:23:20.003
right into their camper.
00:23:20.499 --> 00:23:22.945
By the time I got down to
the hospital, this kid,
00:23:23.035 --> 00:23:25.515
this fucking teenager, was dead.
00:23:26.672 --> 00:23:29.175
So we took the old couple up to the OR.
00:23:29.508 --> 00:23:32.352
We worked like hell on them
through most of the night.
00:23:34.013 --> 00:23:38.018
By the time... we were done with
them, we just, you know...
00:23:38.350 --> 00:23:41.695
wrapped them... in their full body casts.
00:23:43.689 --> 00:23:46.033
The husband, the old man...
00:23:47.192 --> 00:23:49.536
was depressed for the longest time.
00:23:49.762 --> 00:23:51.264
Even after said to him.
00:23:51.363 --> 00:23:54.776
"Look, your wife's gonna pull
through“, he was still depressed.
00:23:56.201 --> 00:24:00.547
So, I went up to the mouth
hole and I asked him.
00:24:02.207 --> 00:24:06.383
And he told me it was because
he couldn't... see her...
00:24:07.046 --> 00:24:10.220
through the eyes. Couldn't see his wife.
00:24:11.283 --> 00:24:12.887
Can you imagine?
00:24:13.118 --> 00:24:16.827
I'm telling you, this guy's
heart was breaking because...
00:24:18.057 --> 00:24:21.129
he couldn't turn his goddamn head
00:24:21.226 --> 00:24:22.728
and just look at his goddamn wife.
00:24:23.062 --> 00:24:24.405
Shit!
00:24:26.065 --> 00:24:27.408
I mean, it was killing this guy.
00:24:27.633 --> 00:24:29.306
I-I am so tired of this. Is this water'?
00:24:29.635 --> 00:24:30.909
It was killing the guy.
00:24:31.136 --> 00:24:35.084
Did you replace my gin with water, man?
00:24:35.174 --> 00:24:36.312
Oh!
00:24:36.408 --> 00:24:37.751
Mike, come on.
00:24:37.977 --> 00:24:39.422
- "Come on," what?
- Come on. You're drunk.
00:24:39.645 --> 00:24:43.092
I'm drunk? Yes, I'm drunk. I'm supposed
to be drunk! Why aren't you drunk?
00:24:43.315 --> 00:24:44.350
This is Carver!
00:24:44.450 --> 00:24:46.930
He left a piece of his liver on the table
each time he wrote a fucking page!
00:24:47.152 --> 00:24:50.656
If I need to be drinking gin, who the
fuck are you to touch my gin, man?
00:24:50.923 --> 00:24:52.630
You fucked with the period,
00:24:52.691 --> 00:24:54.602
you fucked with the plot so
you'd get the best lines.
00:24:54.827 --> 00:24:57.330
You leave me the fucking tools that I need!
00:24:57.596 --> 00:24:59.769
Oh, come on, people, don't be so pathetic.
00:24:59.999 --> 00:25:02.479
Stop looking the world through
your cell phone screen!
00:25:02.534 --> 00:25:03.604
Have a real experience!
00:25:03.836 --> 00:25:06.783
Does anybody give a shit
about truth other than me?
00:25:07.006 --> 00:25:09.350
I mean, this set is fake,
the bananas are fake.
00:25:09.608 --> 00:25:11.019
There's fucking nothing
in this milk carton!
00:25:11.610 --> 00:25:12.782
Your performance is fake.
00:25:13.012 --> 00:25:16.118
The only thing that's real on
this stage is this chicken.
00:25:16.348 --> 00:25:18.692
So, I'm gonna work with the chicken.
00:25:22.121 --> 00:25:23.464
That was interesting.
00:25:23.622 --> 00:25:24.894
- Bring the curtain down.
- Hey!
00:25:24.957 --> 00:25:26.830
That's good bird, man!
00:25:27.626 --> 00:25:28.969
Get him out of here!
00:25:29.194 --> 00:25:30.867
How do you want me to do that?
00:25:33.298 --> 00:25:34.470
Hey, hey, wait.
00:25:34.700 --> 00:25:36.475
- I want him gone.
- No!
00:25:36.702 --> 00:25:38.147
- What?
- We cannot do that!
00:25:38.203 --> 00:25:39.846
Of course we can do that! It's our show!
00:25:39.905 --> 00:25:42.579
- Listen to me, please.
- No, you listen to me.
00:25:42.608 --> 00:25:44.951
Get him the fuck out of my play.
I'm not gonna stand up there...
00:25:45.010 --> 00:25:47.251
It was a preview! Nobody gives
a shit about a preview!
00:25:47.312 --> 00:25:48.882
Nothing matters until that old bat from
00:25:48.981 --> 00:25:51.183
the New York Times is sitting out
in that audience opening night!
00:25:51.216 --> 00:25:52.617
We're getting rid of him.
I don't give a shit.
00:25:52.684 --> 00:25:56.188
Shut up! Shut up and listen to me for once!
00:25:56.321 --> 00:25:59.825
As soon as we announced he was taking over, the
advance doubled, and that took less than a day.
00:26:00.059 --> 00:26:02.332
We can't afford to lose the preview.
We can't afford to lose any more money
00:26:02.427 --> 00:26:04.100
and we can't afford to lose Mike.
00:26:04.830 --> 00:26:08.573
This has been about-This is about being
respected and validated, remember?
00:26:08.667 --> 00:26:09.839
That's what you told me!
00:26:10.169 --> 00:26:12.513
That's how you got me into this shit!
00:26:15.007 --> 00:26:17.851
Now, you're the director.
Get him under control, OK?
00:26:19.845 --> 00:26:21.017
Fuck.
00:26:21.513 --> 00:26:23.515
This isn't the '90s anymore.
00:26:25.184 --> 00:26:26.857
Your zipper's down.
00:26:32.024 --> 00:26:33.025
Fuck.
00:26:37.210 --> 00:26:39.010
Hey!
00:26:39.031 --> 00:26:41.705
You were really good, cabron.
00:26:43.368 --> 00:26:44.711
Mmm-hmm.
00:26:46.639 --> 00:26:49.146
Hey! Out in front of the
theater in ten minutes!
00:26:49.241 --> 00:26:50.811
Don't overthink it.
00:27:02.387 --> 00:27:05.061
What the hell was going on up there?
00:27:06.725 --> 00:27:08.466
I didn't know you were here tonight.
00:27:08.727 --> 00:27:10.900
That guy's an asshole, huh?
00:27:11.463 --> 00:27:12.908
Yeah. What're you-what're you doing here?
00:27:13.132 --> 00:27:16.079
Sam and I are going to grab
a bite after she's finished.
00:27:16.301 --> 00:27:17.974
No, no, I mean here. Now,
00:27:18.237 --> 00:27:21.241
Well, I know how much this means to you.
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:22.475
Oh.
00:27:22.574 --> 00:27:24.918
Thanks. I appreciate that.
00:27:25.410 --> 00:27:26.912
So, whats happening?
00:27:27.246 --> 00:27:28.452
With the play? You saw what's ha...
00:27:28.514 --> 00:27:29.822
No, no. You and Sam.
00:27:29.915 --> 00:27:32.589
Oh, it's, you know, it's great.
00:27:33.485 --> 00:27:34.589
It's the same.
00:27:34.820 --> 00:27:36.026
Do you talk to her?
00:27:36.121 --> 00:27:38.192
Yeah, we talk.
00:27:38.590 --> 00:27:41.503
You know, it's just been so
crazy around here, you know?
00:27:41.760 --> 00:27:43.364
You understand where her head is at
00:27:43.462 --> 00:27:44.600
- these days.
- Yeah, of course.
00:27:44.830 --> 00:27:47.003
She's trying to stay away
from everything, and everyone,
00:27:47.099 --> 00:27:49.841
- that got her into rehab, in the first place.
- Yeah, yeah.
00:27:50.102 --> 00:27:52.446
I know. I really do. I get it. I get it.
00:27:52.671 --> 00:27:54.514
That's all she's had, so she's confused.
00:27:54.606 --> 00:27:55.846
Yeah, I get it.
00:27:56.108 --> 00:27:58.452
Look, I know you're caught up in all
this stuff, but you just have to...
00:27:58.510 --> 00:27:59.784
- "Stuff"?
- Uh, uh...
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:01.781
You Know what I mean.
00:28:03.282 --> 00:28:05.558
Riggan, you don't have to be
a great father right now.
00:28:05.651 --> 00:28:07.631
You just have to be one.
00:28:07.953 --> 00:28:09.455
Oh, sorry.
00:28:11.957 --> 00:28:13.630
How's that going?
00:28:15.527 --> 00:28:16.870
I'd rather not talk about it.
00:28:17.129 --> 00:28:18.472
You're drinking?
00:28:18.964 --> 00:28:20.466
Yeah, I'm having a beer.
00:28:24.303 --> 00:28:25.475
So...
00:28:27.306 --> 00:28:28.808
what's going on with you?
00:28:29.308 --> 00:28:30.651
Me? Oh...
00:28:31.643 --> 00:28:32.986
Nothing.
00:28:33.812 --> 00:28:36.156
Everything's the same, I guess.
00:28:38.150 --> 00:28:39.720
I'm going back to teaching.
00:28:39.985 --> 00:28:40.986
Oh, yeah?
00:28:42.654 --> 00:28:45.658
I'm thinking of refinancing
the Malibu house.
00:28:46.225 --> 00:28:47.568
What? I'm sorry.
00:28:47.826 --> 00:28:48.998
I'm thinking of refinancing...
00:28:49.061 --> 00:28:52.338
No, I heard you. I just need a second.
00:28:53.498 --> 00:28:55.500
That's gonna be Sam's house.
00:28:55.834 --> 00:28:58.610
Why would you...? For this play?
00:29:01.173 --> 00:29:02.675
I need the money.
00:29:02.908 --> 00:29:05.855
Do you have any idea how crazy that sounds?
00:29:06.345 --> 00:29:10.020
What do you want me to say? My
health lasted longer than the money.
00:29:10.082 --> 00:29:11.356
Go figure that out.
00:29:12.517 --> 00:29:14.190
What's going on?
00:29:15.354 --> 00:29:17.527
Riggan, look at me.
00:29:17.956 --> 00:29:19.128
Uh...
00:29:22.694 --> 00:29:25.038
I got a chance to do something right.
00:29:28.367 --> 00:29:31.041
I gotta take it. I got to.
00:29:32.704 --> 00:29:35.207
It's funny. I was sitting
here, waiting for you...
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:38.944
and all of a sudden, I couldn't
remember why we broke up.
00:29:43.382 --> 00:29:46.056
You know, the last time
I flew here from LA...
00:29:46.885 --> 00:29:50.230
George Clooney was sitting, like,
two seats in front of me...
00:29:50.555 --> 00:29:53.729
with a nice pair of cufflinks
and that fucking chin.
00:29:54.126 --> 00:29:58.404
We ended up flying through this
really, really horrible storm.
00:29:58.630 --> 00:30:02.305
I mean, the plane was, like,
rattling and shaking.
00:30:03.068 --> 00:30:06.413
And, uh, all the people on
board are, you know, crying.
00:30:06.738 --> 00:30:09.412
I mean, crying. Praying, right?
00:30:10.642 --> 00:30:12.417
I just sat there.
00:30:12.477 --> 00:30:14.753
They're crying, I sit there.
00:30:15.080 --> 00:30:17.583
And I'm thinking, "Oh, boy...
00:30:17.916 --> 00:30:21.090
"next morning, when Sam
looks at the paper...
00:30:21.586 --> 00:30:25.261
"it's going to be Clooney's face
on the front page, not mine."
00:30:25.324 --> 00:30:27.600
You know? Boom.
00:30:33.765 --> 00:30:35.711
Did you know Farrah Fawcett died
00:30:35.801 --> 00:30:38.611
the exact same day as Michael Jackson?
00:30:38.837 --> 00:30:40.441
Is that crazy?
00:30:56.288 --> 00:30:57.790
Why did we break up?
00:30:58.023 --> 00:31:00.526
Because you threw a kitchen knife at me...
00:31:00.792 --> 00:31:03.966
and an hour later, you were
telling me how much you loved me.
00:31:04.696 --> 00:31:08.371
Riggan, just because I didn't like that
ridiculous comedy you did with Goldie Hawn...
00:31:08.633 --> 00:31:10.476
did not mean I did not love you.
00:31:10.969 --> 00:31:12.846
That's what you always do.
00:31:12.904 --> 00:31:15.384
You confuse love for admiration.
00:31:16.808 --> 00:31:18.685
It's your house, you do
what you want with it.
00:31:18.744 --> 00:31:20.553
You just make sure you're
there for our daughter.
00:31:20.812 --> 00:31:22.155
I will.
00:31:23.815 --> 00:31:25.988
You're not Farrah Fawcett, Riggan.
00:31:28.387 --> 00:31:31.994
We should have done that reality show
they offered us... The Thomsons.
00:31:32.090 --> 00:31:33.160
Shut up.
00:31:33.225 --> 00:31:34.568
- That would've been good.
- Shut up!
00:31:34.826 --> 00:31:39.002
Crazy, druggy, wise-ass daughter,
MILF-y wife with the perky tits.
00:31:39.331 --> 00:31:41.333
People would've wanted to see that.
00:31:41.566 --> 00:31:43.568
- Shut up.
- More than I can say for this piece of shit.
00:31:43.835 --> 00:31:44.836
Shut up!
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:49.409
The sun bed is here.
00:31:49.508 --> 00:31:50.509
What does that mean?
00:31:50.742 --> 00:31:54.849
It means there's a sun bed out
there being delivered to in here.
00:31:55.080 --> 00:31:56.252
Who ordered a sun bed?
00:31:56.515 --> 00:31:58.051
Mike. He said it's for his character...
00:31:58.116 --> 00:32:00.496
- part of his process and that shit.
- Fuck.
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:02.521
He said he has to be a redneck.
00:32:02.754 --> 00:32:04.427
Son of a bitch.
00:32:09.528 --> 00:32:10.871
Let's go. Walk.
00:32:11.096 --> 00:32:13.098
- Where are we going?
- To get you some coffee.
00:32:13.365 --> 00:32:15.709
- Did I do something to disrespect you?
- Not yet.
00:32:16.034 --> 00:32:18.708
- I have a lot riding on this play.
- Oh, is that right?
00:32:18.937 --> 00:32:21.042
Yeah. People know who I am, and...
00:32:21.273 --> 00:32:23.617
Bullshit. They-they don't
know you, your work, man.
00:32:23.875 --> 00:32:25.149
They know the guy from the bird suit
00:32:25.243 --> 00:32:27.951
who goes and tells coy, slightly
vomitous stories, on Letterman.
00:32:28.213 --> 00:32:29.624
Well, I'm sorry if I'm popular, Mike.
00:32:29.881 --> 00:32:31.724
Popular? I don't give a shit. Popular?!
00:32:31.950 --> 00:32:36.456
Popularity is the slutty little
cousin of prestige, my friend.
00:32:36.721 --> 00:32:39.133
OK, I don't even know what
the fuck that means, so...
00:32:39.558 --> 00:32:44.034
It-it-it means-it means, my reputation is
riding on this, and that's worth a, a...
00:32:44.062 --> 00:32:47.066
- A lot.
- A lot, exactly! Fuck you. Yes!
00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:48.801
If this doesn't work out for you,
00:32:48.900 --> 00:32:50.641
you fuck off back to your studio pals...
00:32:50.902 --> 00:32:53.906
and dive back into that cultural
genocide you guys are perpetrating.
00:32:54.139 --> 00:32:55.777
You know, a douchebag's born every minute!
00:32:55.841 --> 00:32:58.481
That was P.T. Barnum's premise
when he invented the circus...
00:32:58.743 --> 00:33:02.748
and nothing much has changed. And you guys
know if you crank out any toxic piece crap...
00:33:02.814 --> 00:33:04.919
people will line up and pay to see it!
00:33:05.150 --> 00:33:07.824
But long after you're gone,
I'm gonna be on that stage...
00:33:08.086 --> 00:33:09.793
earning my living, baring my soul,
00:33:09.921 --> 00:33:12.424
wrestling with complex humna
emotions, 'cause that's what we do.
00:33:12.657 --> 00:33:15.433
Oh, so that-is that what tonight was about?
00:33:15.494 --> 00:33:16.768
You wrestling with complex emotion?
00:33:16.995 --> 00:33:20.499
Tonight was about seeing if it's
even alive, seeing if it can bleed.
00:33:20.765 --> 00:33:24.941
This isn't a backlot, Riggan, this is New
York City. This is how we do things.
00:33:25.170 --> 00:33:26.513
Where you going?
00:33:26.938 --> 00:33:28.781
They have coffee here.
00:33:36.014 --> 00:33:37.618
Thanks, Tommy.
00:33:37.849 --> 00:33:39.192
They were laughing in our fucking faces.
00:33:39.451 --> 00:33:41.954
Tonight they were laughing,
tomorrow they'll be tweeting.
00:33:42.020 --> 00:33:43.465
Fuck'em! Who cares?
00:33:43.688 --> 00:33:45.531
These are the people who pay half price
00:33:45.624 --> 00:33:47.865
to watch us rehearse. Stop fucking caring.
00:33:47.959 --> 00:33:50.203
This play's a drama. We're doing
Raymond Carver. This play's about...
00:33:50.229 --> 00:33:52.504
- You don't know what this play is about.
- I do know what this play is about.
00:33:52.531 --> 00:33:55.205
- No, you don't. That's what previews are for.
- Oh, man.
00:33:55.467 --> 00:33:56.878
That's why they call them previews.
00:33:56.968 --> 00:34:00.472
That's where you figure out
what the play is. I mean...
00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:04.314
OK, look, look. Listen to me.
00:34:04.543 --> 00:34:07.023
Do you see the woman, at
the far end of the bar?
00:34:07.145 --> 00:34:09.216
The one who looks like she
licked a homeless man's ass?
00:34:09.381 --> 00:34:10.416
Yeah.
00:34:11.316 --> 00:34:15.059
The only thing that matters is what she
writes about us in 500 words in the Times.
00:34:15.153 --> 00:34:17.497
- That's, uh...
- Tabitha Dickinson, yes.
00:34:17.822 --> 00:34:21.326
And, believe it or not, the only opinion
that matters in New York theater, is hers.
00:34:21.660 --> 00:34:25.335
If she likes us, we run. If
she doesn't, we're fucked.
00:34:26.665 --> 00:34:28.906
She does look like she
licked a homeless guy's ass.
00:34:29.167 --> 00:34:30.544
Do me a favor.
00:34:30.602 --> 00:34:33.674
Don't get your panties in a twist over
a fucking preview, like some rookie...
00:34:33.738 --> 00:34:35.411
and don't tell me how to do my job.
00:34:35.674 --> 00:34:38.416
This is my town, and to be honest,
00:34:38.510 --> 00:34:39.853
most people don't give
a shit about you here.
00:34:40.078 --> 00:34:42.581
- You're Riggan Thomson, right?
- Sorry to interrupt you.
00:34:42.847 --> 00:34:45.521
- Would you mind having a picture with us here?
- No, no. Not at all.
00:34:46.184 --> 00:34:47.527
Would you mind?
00:34:47.852 --> 00:34:49.354
The button's on the bottom.
00:34:52.857 --> 00:34:55.360
- Who is this guy?
- He used to be Birdman.
00:34:59.864 --> 00:35:02.538
Oh, you're such a doll. Thank you.
You're so sweet.
00:35:02.867 --> 00:35:04.471
- Handsome.
- Thanks. Oh.
00:35:04.703 --> 00:35:06.376
O-OK, sweetheart, come on.
00:35:12.377 --> 00:35:13.720
Are we good here?
00:35:14.713 --> 00:35:16.056
I'm gonna go home.
00:35:17.048 --> 00:35:18.891
All right. See you tomorrow.
00:35:20.952 --> 00:35:22.329
Oh...
00:35:23.054 --> 00:35:24.727
I want to know something.
00:35:25.724 --> 00:35:27.397
Why Raymond Carver?
00:35:31.896 --> 00:35:34.900
I was a kid, in high school...
00:35:35.233 --> 00:35:38.737
doing a play in Syracuse,
and he was in the audience.
00:35:39.070 --> 00:35:42.415
And he, uh, sent this back, afterwards.
00:35:44.576 --> 00:35:45.577
A little note.
00:35:45.644 --> 00:35:48.691
"Thank you for an honest performance.
Ray Carver."
00:35:48.711 --> 00:35:49.981
Yeah.
00:35:50.001 --> 00:35:51.181
Yeah?
00:35:51.182 --> 00:35:54.757
That's when I knew... I
was gonna be an actor.
00:35:54.819 --> 00:35:55.923
Right there.
00:35:58.957 --> 00:36:00.163
Oh.
00:36:00.425 --> 00:36:01.768
What's so funny?
00:36:01.993 --> 00:36:03.995
Nothing. It's just, it's
on a cocktail napkin.
00:36:04.262 --> 00:36:05.434
Yeah? So?
00:36:06.097 --> 00:36:08.099
He was fucking drunk, man.
00:36:11.436 --> 00:36:13.279
You headed to Hollywood, Mike?
00:36:13.605 --> 00:36:14.777
No.
00:36:16.107 --> 00:36:18.451
No. Hollywood's heading here, Tabby.
00:36:18.677 --> 00:36:20.623
Good luck with that.
00:36:21.346 --> 00:36:23.519
"A man becomes a critic
00:36:23.615 --> 00:36:24.958
"when he cannot be an artist...
00:36:25.183 --> 00:36:29.029
"the same way that a man becomes an
informer when he cannot be a soldier."
00:36:29.621 --> 00:36:30.964
That's Flaubert, right?
00:36:31.289 --> 00:36:34.463
He's a Hollywood clown
in a Lycra bird suit.
00:36:34.793 --> 00:36:36.397
Yes, he is.
00:36:36.494 --> 00:36:37.802
But tomorrow night at 8:00...
00:36:38.029 --> 00:36:40.805
he's going out on that stage
and risking everything.
00:36:41.466 --> 00:36:42.968
What'll you be doing?
00:36:44.369 --> 00:36:47.373
Don't you ever worry that
I'll give you a bad review?
00:36:47.972 --> 00:36:49.474
I'm sure you will...
00:36:49.808 --> 00:36:52.152
if I ever give you a bad performance.
00:36:53.478 --> 00:36:54.821
Miss Dickinson.
00:36:55.146 --> 00:36:56.819
Mr. Shiner.
00:38:06.099 --> 00:38:08.699
- Hey.
- Hey.
00:38:08.720 --> 00:38:10.222
What are you still doing here?
00:38:10.455 --> 00:38:11.627
Nothing.
00:38:12.557 --> 00:38:16.232
Nothing. Um, your costumes are
hanging in your dressing room.
00:38:16.561 --> 00:38:17.904
Oh, great. Great.
00:38:18.129 --> 00:38:20.575
Oh, I got that coconut water
that you wanted. Um...
00:38:20.899 --> 00:38:23.106
If you want the face stuff,
it's not open till tomorrow.
00:38:23.168 --> 00:38:24.238
What?
00:38:24.402 --> 00:38:25.642
Uh...
00:38:25.904 --> 00:38:28.748
I'm not sure that I said thank you.
00:38:29.140 --> 00:38:30.141
For what?
00:38:30.408 --> 00:38:34.413
For everything. I mean, you've been doing a
really good job, and, you know, honestly.
00:38:34.646 --> 00:38:37.820
I've been so preoccupied with all the...
00:38:39.584 --> 00:38:43.088
OK, well, I... just wanted to say that.
00:38:47.425 --> 00:38:48.768
- What is that?
- What?
00:38:49.761 --> 00:38:51.104
That smell.
00:38:51.763 --> 00:38:53.936
What is it? Look at me. Look at me!
00:38:54.165 --> 00:38:55.166
What? What?
00:38:55.433 --> 00:38:58.778
God damn it. You've got to be shitting me.
Where is it?
00:38:59.771 --> 00:39:01.773
Can we not do this, please?
00:39:02.273 --> 00:39:03.274
Dad?
00:39:03.608 --> 00:39:06.282
Where is it? I can't believe this.
00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:10.691
Wh-what is this?
00:39:10.782 --> 00:39:12.125
Chunky peanut butter.
00:39:12.951 --> 00:39:15.124
- This. This. What is that?
- Ah.
00:39:16.621 --> 00:39:18.623
That's pot. Relax.
00:39:18.957 --> 00:39:21.460
- "Relax." You can't do this to me.
- To you?
00:39:21.693 --> 00:39:23.366
Oh, shut up. You know
what I'm talking about.
00:39:23.628 --> 00:39:25.301
Oh, yeah, you're talking about you!
What else is new?
00:39:25.463 --> 00:39:27.465
- Don't do that thing where you...
- ...I make it about me!
00:39:27.699 --> 00:39:29.372
Look! I'm trying to do something important!
00:39:29.634 --> 00:39:30.704
This is not important!
00:39:30.802 --> 00:39:32.145
It's important to me!
00:39:32.470 --> 00:39:35.041
OK? Maybe not to you,
or your cynical friends
00:39:35.139 --> 00:39:37.483
whose only ambition is to “go viral"...
00:39:37.809 --> 00:39:41.814
but to me... This is... My
God, this is my career!
00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:44.983
It's my chance to finally do
work that means something.
00:39:45.216 --> 00:39:47.218
That means something to who?
00:39:47.485 --> 00:39:50.489
You had a career, Dad, before
the third comic book movie.
00:39:50.822 --> 00:39:53.996
Before people started to forget
who was inside that bird costume.
00:39:54.225 --> 00:39:57.832
You are doing a play based on a
book written 60 years ago...
00:39:58.062 --> 00:40:00.235
for a thousand rich old white people...
00:40:00.331 --> 00:40:03.676
whose only real concern is gonna be where they go,
to have their cake and coffee, when it's over!
00:40:04.068 --> 00:40:06.412
Nobody gives a shit, but you!
00:40:06.671 --> 00:40:09.015
And, let's face it, Dad...
00:40:09.240 --> 00:40:10.878
you are not doing this for the sake of art,
00:40:10.942 --> 00:40:13.582
you're doing this because you
want to feel relevant again.
00:40:13.845 --> 00:40:16.416
Well, guess what? There is an entire
world out there, where people
00:40:16.514 --> 00:40:18.425
who fight to be relevant every single day!
00:40:18.683 --> 00:40:20.526
And you act like it doesn't exist.
00:40:20.752 --> 00:40:23.096
Things are happening in a
place that you ignore...
00:40:23.354 --> 00:40:26.528
a place that, by the way, has
already forgotten about you!
00:40:26.858 --> 00:40:29.270
I mean, who the fuck are you?!
00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:31.533
You hate bloggers, you mock Twitter.
00:40:31.763 --> 00:40:33.868
You don't even have a Facebook page!
00:40:33.932 --> 00:40:35.605
You're the one who doesn't exist!
00:40:35.867 --> 00:40:38.040
You're doing this because
you're scared to death,
00:40:38.102 --> 00:40:40.207
like the rest of us, that you don't matter.
00:40:40.438 --> 00:40:43.282
And you know what? You're right! You don't!
00:40:43.541 --> 00:40:47.887
It's not important, OK? You're
not important. Get used to it!
00:41:06.731 --> 00:41:07.903
Dad.
00:42:12.130 --> 00:42:16.135
In the days before Nick's depression
started to eat away at him...
00:42:16.367 --> 00:42:17.710
he never knew I was pregnant,
00:42:17.802 --> 00:42:20.146
and I never intended to tell him.
00:42:20.972 --> 00:42:22.679
I guess we make choices in life,
00:42:22.740 --> 00:42:25.152
and we choose to live with them.
00:42:26.144 --> 00:42:27.487
Or not.
00:42:28.479 --> 00:42:30.322
I didn't want that baby.
00:42:30.982 --> 00:42:32.723
Not because I didn't love Nick,
00:42:32.817 --> 00:42:35.161
and not because I didn't
love the idea of it...
00:42:35.653 --> 00:42:38.827
but just because I wasn't
ready to love myself.
00:42:40.491 --> 00:42:42.334
There's a distance to it all now.
00:42:42.660 --> 00:42:46.005
A wistful distance, underscored
by a gentle breeze...
00:42:46.397 --> 00:42:47.398
Actors in position.
00:42:47.565 --> 00:42:48.669
and the sound of the birds...
00:42:48.900 --> 00:42:49.935
Music out.
00:42:50.034 --> 00:42:52.071
laughing at the whimsy of it all.
00:42:52.503 --> 00:42:54.176
- Lesley?
- What?
00:42:54.505 --> 00:42:56.075
I think I'm hard.
00:42:56.340 --> 00:42:59.753
No, you're not, it's just sometimes you
don't consider other peoples feelings.
00:43:00.011 --> 00:43:02.423
No, no, no. I'm getting hard... feel that.
00:43:02.513 --> 00:43:04.857
What?! You've got to be kidding.
00:43:05.083 --> 00:43:06.255
Let's really do it. Let's really fuck.
00:43:06.350 --> 00:43:07.420
No, are you crazy?!
00:43:07.685 --> 00:43:09.358
I know! It'll be incredible! It'll be real.
00:43:09.587 --> 00:43:11.931
Cut it out! I'm serious, Mike.
00:43:12.190 --> 00:43:14.534
Don't call me Mike. Call me Mel. Mel!
00:43:14.859 --> 00:43:16.202
Get off!
00:43:16.527 --> 00:43:18.529
Terri! Terri!
00:43:19.864 --> 00:43:21.537
Terri, I know you're in there!
00:43:21.866 --> 00:43:23.868
Get off me! Get off!
00:43:25.436 --> 00:43:26.779
- Ed?
- Why?
00:43:27.038 --> 00:43:29.040
- What are you doing here?
- I just need you to tell me why.
00:43:29.373 --> 00:43:31.375
Take it easy, Ed. Take it easy.
I know this is hard.
00:43:31.609 --> 00:43:33.452
Shut up! Shut...
00:43:34.212 --> 00:43:36.385
- Shut up!
- OK. Just-just don't do anything stupid.
00:43:37.715 --> 00:43:39.217
Eddie, please!
00:43:39.884 --> 00:43:44.390
What's the matter with me? Why do I always
end up having to beg people to love me?
00:43:44.722 --> 00:43:46.895
Eddie, please, give me the gun.
00:43:47.225 --> 00:43:48.568
Look at me.
00:43:48.893 --> 00:43:52.067
I was drowning. I'm just not capable of...
00:43:53.064 --> 00:43:57.069
You... you deserve to be loved, Eddie.
You do.
00:43:57.401 --> 00:43:59.574
I just wanted to be what you wanted.
00:43:59.904 --> 00:44:01.645
Now I spend every fucking minute praying
00:44:01.739 --> 00:44:04.242
to be somebody else. Somebody I'm not!
00:44:04.575 --> 00:44:05.747
Anybody.
00:44:06.410 --> 00:44:09.584
OK. J-just put the gun down, Ed.
She just doesn't love you anymore.
00:44:10.248 --> 00:44:11.591
You don't, do you?
00:44:11.916 --> 00:44:13.088
No.
00:44:14.919 --> 00:44:16.262
And you never will.
00:44:16.587 --> 00:44:18.260
I'm sorry.
00:44:20.424 --> 00:44:22.267
I don't exist.
00:44:24.595 --> 00:44:26.097
I'm not even here.
00:44:27.431 --> 00:44:31.607
None of this even matters. I don't exist.
I don't exist.
00:44:33.271 --> 00:44:35.273
- Ed...
- I don't exist.
00:44:35.606 --> 00:44:37.779
Ed! Eddie, Eddie, don't do that!
00:44:47.118 --> 00:44:48.791
You're such an asshole!
00:44:49.120 --> 00:44:50.622
What? That's the best I've seen you, ever.
00:44:50.855 --> 00:44:53.301
Why would you do that?! We were onstage!
00:44:53.524 --> 00:44:56.198
What the fuck?! It's like my
head's a jar of Bolognese!
00:44:56.460 --> 00:44:58.133
Hand me the blood rig. I'll fix it.
00:44:58.462 --> 00:45:00.305
...they're fucking in a motel room.
00:45:00.631 --> 00:45:02.042
You can't get it up in six months
00:45:02.133 --> 00:45:03.806
and now you want to fuck me
in front of 800 strangers?!
00:45:04.035 --> 00:45:07.141
Look. I need it to feel real, OK? I need
that intensity. You've known that about me
00:45:07.471 --> 00:45:09.473
- Oh, fuck you!
- from the beginning.
00:45:11.809 --> 00:45:14.050
I was in the moment. I
thought that you were, too.
00:45:14.145 --> 00:45:15.488
I'm sorry.
00:45:15.813 --> 00:45:18.657
I told you to stop, you fucking animal.
00:45:19.550 --> 00:45:21.223
And you were brilliant. Brilliant.
00:45:21.485 --> 00:45:23.487
What is wrong with you?!
00:45:42.506 --> 00:45:44.850
I want your shit out of the apartment.
00:45:45.176 --> 00:45:49.022
What? Hey, no, no, no, wait. OK. Look, look,
look, look, look. I'm sorry. Can we just...
00:45:49.347 --> 00:45:52.851
No, we can't, Mike! You know, maybe
up here, you're Mr. Truth...
00:45:53.184 --> 00:45:55.926
but in the real world, where it
counts, you're a fucking fraud!
00:45:56.020 --> 00:45:58.193
How's that feel for truth, you dick?!
00:45:59.357 --> 00:46:01.359
- What's going on?
- He's such an asshole.
00:46:01.425 --> 00:46:02.460
What'd he do now?
00:46:02.627 --> 00:46:04.766
Oh, nothing, he just tried to fuck
me in front of an entire audience!
00:46:04.862 --> 00:46:06.205
- Oh, my God!
- Right?
00:46:06.430 --> 00:46:07.773
That's kinda hot!
00:46:13.204 --> 00:46:16.048
Why don't I have any self-respect?!
00:46:16.374 --> 00:46:18.376
You're an actress, honey.
00:46:18.709 --> 00:46:20.382
I'm pathetic!
00:46:22.546 --> 00:46:23.889
Look at me.
00:46:28.219 --> 00:46:32.565
You know, I... I've always dreamed
of being a Broadway actress...
00:46:33.224 --> 00:46:36.398
since I was a little kid. And
now I'm here, and I'm...
00:46:36.727 --> 00:46:38.673
I'm not a Broadway actress,
00:46:38.763 --> 00:46:41.403
I'm still just a little kid.
00:46:43.901 --> 00:46:47.747
And I keep waiting for someone
to tell me I made it.
00:46:47.748 --> 00:46:49.719
Hey.
00:46:49.740 --> 00:46:51.413
You made it.
00:46:53.244 --> 00:46:54.587
I did?
00:46:55.413 --> 00:46:59.156
Sadly, it was with Mike Shiner on a fake motel
bed in front of, like, 800 people, but...
00:46:59.417 --> 00:47:00.760
- Oh, shut up.
- Oh.
00:47:04.802 --> 00:47:05.902
Oh, God.
00:47:05.923 --> 00:47:07.163
Hey, is she OK?
00:47:07.258 --> 00:47:08.760
Yeah, she's gonna be fine.
00:47:10.761 --> 00:47:14.265
Look, none of this is your fault, OK?
00:47:15.099 --> 00:47:18.444
OK, look. You're beautiful
and you're talented...
00:47:19.437 --> 00:47:21.439
and I'm lucky to have you.
00:47:22.340 --> 00:47:23.512
OK?
00:47:24.108 --> 00:47:27.851
- OK.
- OK. OK.
00:47:36.454 --> 00:47:38.627
That was kinda sweet.
00:47:38.956 --> 00:47:40.128
Yeah.
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:43.703
What's wrong?
00:47:44.628 --> 00:47:48.804
Nothing. Two years, and he's never
said anything like that to me.
00:47:49.824 --> 00:47:51.024
Hey.
00:47:53.137 --> 00:47:55.811
You're beautiful and you're talented...
00:47:56.140 --> 00:47:59.644
and I'm lucky to have you. OK?
00:47:59.977 --> 00:48:01.479
We're gross.
00:48:01.712 --> 00:48:03.055
We are.
00:48:13.657 --> 00:48:15.659
- What are you doing?
- Nothing.
00:48:25.002 --> 00:48:26.504
Do it again.
00:48:33.844 --> 00:48:36.415
Can we discuss this like
two mature artists?
00:48:36.514 --> 00:48:38.016
I mean, what, really, is
the big deal about...
00:48:38.349 --> 00:48:39.692
Fuck you!
00:48:42.853 --> 00:48:45.527
You're not ready yet. That's fine.
00:48:47.858 --> 00:48:48.859
Hmm.
00:48:52.196 --> 00:48:54.039
Fuck. Actresses.
00:48:54.365 --> 00:48:56.538
They drive me fucking crazy.
00:48:57.868 --> 00:48:59.040
Riggan?
00:48:59.684 --> 00:49:00.884
Riggan.
00:49:01.205 --> 00:49:05.210
Your gun is ridiculous. I can see
the red plug in the barrel...
00:49:05.443 --> 00:49:09.289
so you look like a kid, with a plastic
toy, when you point it at me.
00:49:09.547 --> 00:49:12.551
I don't feel threatened, at all.
00:49:13.551 --> 00:49:15.462
Get a better one. Have some self-respect.
00:49:15.553 --> 00:49:16.554
Please.
00:49:18.556 --> 00:49:21.059
Hey, apart from that, uh...
00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:24.062
I thought it was a pretty fun crowd, huh?
00:49:44.748 --> 00:49:46.750
I don't think it's high enough.
00:49:49.253 --> 00:49:50.596
Me, neither.
00:49:52.423 --> 00:49:53.925
What are you doing up here?
00:49:54.758 --> 00:49:56.431
Uh, adrenaline?
00:49:57.161 --> 00:50:01.507
I just got out of rehab. It's the
closest thing I get to a drug.
00:50:01.932 --> 00:50:04.502
- You went to rehab?
- Yeah.
00:50:05.169 --> 00:50:06.341
Cool.
00:50:07.104 --> 00:50:08.950
It wasn't all Dr. Drew or anything,
00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:12.320
- but that dude from American Pie was there.
- Yeah?
00:50:12.343 --> 00:50:13.344
Jump!
00:50:13.611 --> 00:50:14.954
Eat me!
00:50:15.279 --> 00:50:17.452
OK, then jump on my face!
00:50:18.282 --> 00:50:20.125
I love this city.
00:50:20.784 --> 00:50:21.956
Yeah?
00:50:24.955 --> 00:50:28.027
Why do you act like such
a dick all the time?
00:50:28.125 --> 00:50:29.968
Do you just do it to antagonize people?
00:50:31.462 --> 00:50:32.805
Maybe.
00:50:33.130 --> 00:50:36.043
You really don't give a shit
if people like you or not.
00:50:37.301 --> 00:50:38.644
Not really.
00:50:39.637 --> 00:50:41.139
That's cool.
00:50:41.472 --> 00:50:44.146
Is it? I... I don't know.
00:50:45.336 --> 00:50:46.436
Hey.
00:50:46.857 --> 00:50:47.957
Hey!
00:50:47.978 --> 00:50:48.979
What?
00:50:49.313 --> 00:50:50.553
Let's play a game.
00:50:50.648 --> 00:50:51.950
- A game?
- Mmm-hmm.
00:50:51.970 --> 00:50:52.882
What are you, eight?
00:50:52.983 --> 00:50:54.656
What are you, 78?
00:50:55.152 --> 00:50:57.395
- Truth or dare.
- Oh, come on. Let's, let's...
00:50:57.421 --> 00:50:59.094
- Truth or dare?
- Oh.
00:51:00.157 --> 00:51:01.329
Truth.
00:51:03.661 --> 00:51:08.337
When we first met, you made
a comment about my ass.
00:51:08.999 --> 00:51:10.501
Why did you do that?
00:51:12.336 --> 00:51:16.341
You have a terrific ass,
and I noticed that.
00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:18.842
And I just commented on it.
00:51:20.678 --> 00:51:22.680
- Truth or dare?
- Dare.
00:51:23.013 --> 00:51:24.686
- Really?
- Yeah.
00:51:24.706 --> 00:51:25.806
OK.
00:51:28.352 --> 00:51:31.595
OK. There's a bald guy. He's
gonna walk right under you.
00:51:31.689 --> 00:51:33.032
I want you to... spit on his head.
00:51:33.357 --> 00:51:35.030
- No.
- You said dare.
00:51:35.259 --> 00:51:37.762
- Truth.
- No, it's too late.
00:51:45.202 --> 00:51:46.647
- Happy?
- Yeah.
00:51:46.737 --> 00:51:48.876
Ew!
00:51:50.708 --> 00:51:52.051
Truth or dare?
00:51:52.376 --> 00:51:54.219
- Truth.
- You're boring.
00:51:54.445 --> 00:51:56.447
The truth is always interesting.
00:51:58.215 --> 00:51:59.558
Uh...
00:52:01.051 --> 00:52:03.053
Do you wanna fool around with me?
00:52:04.221 --> 00:52:05.222
No.
00:52:06.223 --> 00:52:07.395
Really?
00:52:08.292 --> 00:52:09.293
Why not?
00:52:09.560 --> 00:52:12.564
- That's a second question.
- It's a second part.
00:52:15.733 --> 00:52:17.735
I'd be afraid I couldn't get it up.
00:52:21.572 --> 00:52:25.076
That didn't seem to be a
problem for you onstage.
00:52:27.144 --> 00:52:30.751
That's because nothing is
a problem for me, onstage.
00:52:32.249 --> 00:52:33.956
I wanna ask another question.
00:52:34.018 --> 00:52:35.088
You already asked another question.
00:52:35.319 --> 00:52:37.424
- One more.
- Go ahead.
00:52:39.089 --> 00:52:43.435
If you weren't afraid, what
would you want to do to me?
00:52:49.099 --> 00:52:51.443
I'd pull your eyes out of your head...
00:52:52.102 --> 00:52:53.445
That's sweet.
00:52:53.671 --> 00:52:55.446
I'd put them in my own skull...
00:52:56.106 --> 00:52:58.814
and look around, so I could see the street
00:52:58.876 --> 00:53:00.787
the way I used to, when I was your age.
00:53:14.124 --> 00:53:15.364
Good night.
00:54:08.011 --> 00:54:10.013
Don't kill the messenger.
00:54:11.181 --> 00:54:12.854
He's an asshole.
00:54:14.685 --> 00:54:15.686
I told you.
00:54:15.853 --> 00:54:17.355
You fucking prick.
00:54:17.588 --> 00:54:18.931
He's playing you, Riggan.
00:54:19.189 --> 00:54:20.429
This is it?
00:54:22.025 --> 00:54:23.868
Page 12. Page 12.
00:54:26.530 --> 00:54:28.976
"Riggan Thomson, better known
as the face of Birdman,
00:54:29.066 --> 00:54:31.546
"tries not to lay an egg on Broadway.“
00:54:31.769 --> 00:54:34.113
- Where's the rest of it?
- There is no rest of it.
00:54:34.772 --> 00:54:37.275
Don't worry, somebody'll be using
that to scoop up dog shit, tomorrow.
00:54:37.541 --> 00:54:39.145
How can you be so calm about this?
00:54:39.243 --> 00:54:40.551
What are my other choices?
00:54:40.778 --> 00:54:43.122
- Aren't you scared at all, Laura?
- About what?
00:54:43.380 --> 00:54:45.053
About being humiliated out there!
00:54:45.282 --> 00:54:47.455
It won't be the first time
I've been humiliated.
00:54:47.718 --> 00:54:49.288
Well, of course it won't.
00:54:53.056 --> 00:54:54.558
You're an asshole.
00:55:01.899 --> 00:55:03.173
And, by the way, I'm not pregnant,
00:55:03.267 --> 00:55:05.645
so there's one thing you
don't have to worry about.
00:55:09.239 --> 00:55:11.082
Forget about her.
00:55:11.742 --> 00:55:13.688
He stole your front page.
00:55:13.777 --> 00:55:16.758
He's stealing your show.
He thinks you're a joke.
00:55:18.248 --> 00:55:20.751
Now two million people agree with him.
00:55:20.984 --> 00:55:25.990
Maybe you are, Riggan. Maybe
that's what you are... a joke.
00:55:45.108 --> 00:55:47.611
Whoa! What the hell is going on?
00:55:48.111 --> 00:55:49.454
- Get up!
- Hey! Ow! That hurts!
00:55:49.680 --> 00:55:51.023
- Get up!
- Back away!
00:55:51.281 --> 00:55:52.954
So, Carver's the reason
you became an actor, huh?
00:55:53.283 --> 00:55:55.126
Listen to me. This is my fucking show.
00:55:55.452 --> 00:55:58.626
I did the work. I raised the money.
I arrange the fucking press!
00:55:58.856 --> 00:56:02.861
Oh, Jesus. They called me for an interview.
00:56:03.126 --> 00:56:06.300
I told them the first thing
that came into my head.
00:56:06.330 --> 00:56:06.883
Really?
00:56:06.904 --> 00:56:08.361
The cover of the Arts
section, for Christ's sake!
00:56:08.432 --> 00:56:10.675
You told them the first thing that came
into your... Fuck the Arts section!
00:56:10.701 --> 00:56:12.510
You told them the first thing
that came into your head?
00:56:12.569 --> 00:56:13.877
Right. Because that's you, Mike, right?
00:56:14.137 --> 00:56:16.083
You're Mr. Natural. Mr. Fuck-the-scene-
00:56:16.173 --> 00:56:17.675
just-stare-at-my-massive-hard-on. Right?
00:56:17.741 --> 00:56:18.719
That's truth of the moment.
00:56:18.809 --> 00:56:19.879
Did you think it looked massive?
00:56:20.143 --> 00:56:21.520
Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up!
00:56:21.578 --> 00:56:23.819
You don't get hard on my
stage, unless I tell you to.
00:56:24.147 --> 00:56:26.491
Your stage? Oh, let me tell you something.
00:56:26.717 --> 00:56:30.893
This stage has belonged to a lot of great
actors, but you are not one of them, pal.
00:56:31.154 --> 00:56:32.827
So you wrote your own lines, huh?
00:56:33.156 --> 00:56:34.399
I did, actually.
00:56:34.458 --> 00:56:37.129
You wrote a few changes and you mumbled
a little bit, you self-absorbed prick.
00:56:37.194 --> 00:56:38.537
Hey! I'm self-absorbed? Look at you.
00:56:38.896 --> 00:56:40.239
You nobody, spiteful piece of shit!
00:56:40.297 --> 00:56:41.091
Nobody?
00:56:41.112 --> 00:56:43.892
Yeah. My massive hard-on
got 50,000 views on YouTube.
00:56:43.901 --> 00:56:46.775
A cat playing with a dildo gets more
than that. Get the fuck outta here.
00:56:46.837 --> 00:56:48.510
- I don't care.
- Yes, you do! You care.
00:56:48.839 --> 00:56:51.183
- I'm a theater actor.
- I don't give a shit. You care.
00:56:51.408 --> 00:56:52.751
Everybody says, "Oh, Mike is so honest.
00:56:52.843 --> 00:56:55.585
- "Mike is so motherfucking truthful!"
- Ow! Hey, hey!
00:56:56.346 --> 00:56:58.883
You said in the interview your
father was a drunk like Carver.
00:56:58.949 --> 00:57:00.719
Is that true, Mike? Is that true?
00:57:00.751 --> 00:57:02.753
No. No. 'Cause my father was.
00:57:03.020 --> 00:57:06.024
My father was a mean fucking drunk.
You understand?
00:57:06.256 --> 00:57:08.258
He beat the shit out of us.
00:57:08.358 --> 00:57:10.269
That was OK, though, because at
least when he was beating us...
00:57:10.527 --> 00:57:14.202
he wasn't thinking about
taking us out to his toolshed.
00:57:14.698 --> 00:57:16.541
Because when we got to the toolshed...
00:57:16.867 --> 00:57:18.540
that son of a bitch would smile and say:
00:57:18.769 --> 00:57:21.249
"You wanna get down on your
knees and unbuckle my belt,
00:57:21.305 --> 00:57:23.546
"or do you want me to take
it off and use it on you?"
00:57:24.041 --> 00:57:27.215
After a while, I made myself
numb, so, you know. But my...
00:57:27.711 --> 00:57:29.054
my little sister...
00:57:30.714 --> 00:57:34.717
OK. OK. OK. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey.
00:57:34.718 --> 00:57:36.220
Oh, God.
00:57:37.220 --> 00:57:39.894
Uh, I didn't know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:57:40.223 --> 00:57:43.397
That's-that's fucking horrible, man.
I'm sorry.
00:57:45.395 --> 00:57:48.808
- It's also not true. See, I can pretend, too.
- Oh!
00:57:49.066 --> 00:57:50.568
Don't fuck with me, Mike. I'm telling you.
00:57:50.701 --> 00:57:52.707
You're a little bit crazy. You
should start using that onstage.
00:57:52.727 --> 00:57:53.736
Yeah, you have no fucking idea.
00:57:53.737 --> 00:57:55.583
"Working with Riggan Thomson's
00:57:55.639 --> 00:57:57.141
"like Waltzing with a monkey?" Huh?
00:57:57.240 --> 00:57:58.551
I might have said that.
00:57:58.642 --> 00:58:00.344
Yeah, you might? Come on, let's go.
00:58:00.577 --> 00:58:01.747
- Come on.
- Yeah?
00:58:01.812 --> 00:58:02.522
Yeah.
00:58:02.543 --> 00:58:04.673
Why don't you get your wings
and your fucking bird suit, man?
00:58:04.748 --> 00:58:06.591
Ow!
00:58:16.326 --> 00:58:19.500
I'm gonna crab up on your ass and choke
you out. I'm gonna fucking choke you out!
00:58:19.763 --> 00:58:21.606
- Get off of me.
- What are you looking at?
00:58:21.832 --> 00:58:24.176
What are you going to do,
you gonna replace me?!
00:58:24.267 --> 00:58:26.508
You gonna get fucking Ryan
Gosling or some shit?!
00:58:26.770 --> 00:58:29.182
What do you think my fiend Tabitha
will do to you in the Times,
00:58:29.272 --> 00:58:30.842
you fucking dilettante!
00:58:50.460 --> 00:58:53.134
You are lame, Riggan...
00:58:53.463 --> 00:58:56.808
rolling around with that
poncy theater fuck...
00:58:57.034 --> 00:59:00.038
in an 800-seat shithole like this.
00:59:06.810 --> 00:59:09.484
Oh, you really fucked up this time.
00:59:09.813 --> 00:59:13.818
You destroy a genius book with
that infantile adaptation.
00:59:14.151 --> 00:59:18.156
Now you're about to destroy
what's left of your career.
00:59:19.322 --> 00:59:20.665
It's pathetic.
00:59:20.891 --> 00:59:22.393
Breathing in, I am calm.
00:59:22.659 --> 00:59:25.162
Let's get the hell out
of here while we can.
00:59:25.495 --> 00:59:27.668
I ignore this mental formation.
00:59:27.731 --> 00:59:28.835
This is a mental formation.
00:59:29.066 --> 00:59:30.841
Stop that shit!
00:59:31.168 --> 00:59:34.672
I'm not a mental formation.
I'm you, asshole.
00:59:35.739 --> 00:59:36.774
Leave me alone.
00:59:36.873 --> 00:59:39.080
You were a movie star, remember?
00:59:39.342 --> 00:59:41.515
- Pretentious, but happy.
- I wasn't happy.
00:59:41.745 --> 00:59:46.421
Ignorant, but charming. Now, you're
just a tiny, bitter cocksucker.
00:59:46.683 --> 00:59:48.856
I was fucking miserable.
00:59:49.086 --> 00:59:52.863
Yeah, but fake miserable.
Hollywood miserable.
00:59:53.190 --> 00:59:54.601
What are you trying to prove?
00:59:54.691 --> 00:59:56.693
That you're an artist? Well, you're not.
00:59:57.027 --> 00:59:58.301
Fuck you!
00:59:58.395 --> 01:00:01.035
No, fuck you, you coward.
01:00:01.364 --> 01:00:05.039
We grossed billions! What're
you, ashamed of that? Billions!
01:00:05.368 --> 01:00:07.370
And billions of flies eat shit every day!
01:00:07.437 --> 01:00:09.383
So what? Does that make it good?
01:00:11.374 --> 01:00:14.048
I don't know if you
noticed, but that was 1992!
01:00:14.377 --> 01:00:17.681
You could jump right back into that
suit, if you wanted to. We're not dead.
01:00:17.714 --> 01:00:21.389
Oh, look at me! Look at this!
Look, look, look!
01:00:21.718 --> 01:00:24.062
I look like a turkey with leukemia!
01:00:24.387 --> 01:00:26.560
I'm fucking disappearing.
01:00:27.657 --> 01:00:29.068
This is what's left!
01:00:29.126 --> 01:00:31.663
I'm the answer to a fucking
Trivial Pursuit question!
01:00:31.895 --> 01:00:33.431
You're an imposter here.
01:00:33.497 --> 01:00:35.499
Eventually they're gonna figure you out.
01:00:35.832 --> 01:00:38.676
What part of this don't you get?
You're dead.
01:00:38.902 --> 01:00:40.142
We are not dead.
01:00:40.237 --> 01:00:41.910
Oh, please, just stay dead.
01:00:42.172 --> 01:00:43.515
We are not dead.
01:00:43.740 --> 01:00:46.084
Stop saying "we!" There is no "we!"
01:00:46.343 --> 01:00:50.086
I'm not fucking you! I'm
Riggan fucking Thomson!
01:00:50.747 --> 01:00:53.421
No, you're Birdman.
01:00:53.917 --> 01:00:58.093
Because without me, all
that's left is you...
01:00:58.421 --> 01:01:01.265
a sad, selfish, mediocre actor...
01:01:01.591 --> 01:01:05.266
"grasping at the last
vestiges of his career.
01:01:10.767 --> 01:01:14.340
What the hell did you do that for?
I liked that poster.
01:01:15.939 --> 01:01:17.441
It's always "we," brother.
01:01:17.707 --> 01:01:21.211
Fuck you!!! Shut the fuck up!
01:01:21.444 --> 01:01:22.787
Leave me alone!
01:01:30.787 --> 01:01:35.133
You're fucking, so fucking annoying!
Shut up!!
01:01:42.299 --> 01:01:43.801
Hey. What's up?
01:01:44.067 --> 01:01:45.410
Um, well...
01:01:46.303 --> 01:01:48.806
one hour till curtain. Why
don't you rest a little bit?
01:01:49.139 --> 01:01:51.676
Yeah, I'm gonna lay down.
01:01:51.808 --> 01:01:54.311
- Almost there, buddy. Last preview.
- OK. Cool.
01:01:54.578 --> 01:01:55.921
- How you doing?
- Good. Great.
01:01:56.146 --> 01:01:59.593
Good. The money came through. I just
need to transfer it into the account.
01:01:59.816 --> 01:02:01.159
There you go, thank you.
01:02:01.484 --> 01:02:03.657
So... yeah, I'll go, uh, do that.
01:02:03.920 --> 01:02:05.263
Thanks for stopping by.
01:02:05.283 --> 01:02:07.283
- Yeah.
- OK.
01:02:10.327 --> 01:02:12.170
You know I'm proud of you, don't you?
01:02:13.663 --> 01:02:15.336
This took balls.
01:02:15.665 --> 01:02:18.009
- And you did it, OK?
- I know.
01:02:18.668 --> 01:02:21.171
Hey, I think we oughtta cancel the preview.
01:02:22.339 --> 01:02:25.843
I'm tired, dude. I can't
do this anymore, Jake.
01:02:26.843 --> 01:02:28.186
I can't.
01:02:30.847 --> 01:02:32.451
That's a joke, right?
01:02:33.516 --> 01:02:37.362
You know, I don't think this is for me.
The whole...
01:02:38.622 --> 01:02:39.623
They're laughing at me.
01:02:39.856 --> 01:02:44.862
There is a three-block line
of people waiting for you.
01:02:46.196 --> 01:02:49.200
It's a-it's a full house.
W-w-we're sold out!
01:02:50.033 --> 01:02:51.876
- Really?
- Yes!
01:02:52.202 --> 01:02:54.113
And the French Ambassador's coming.
01:02:54.204 --> 01:02:57.208
And the Prince of Saudi Arabia's
bringing one of his wives.
01:02:57.540 --> 01:03:01.215
And I didn't wanna tell you
this, but Martin Scorsese...
01:03:01.878 --> 01:03:04.882
is casting his new film, and, you know...
Don't tell anybody.
01:03:05.215 --> 01:03:07.217
- No, I won't.
- OK?
01:03:08.051 --> 01:03:09.155
OK?
01:03:09.252 --> 01:03:12.563
OK. Yeah, yeah, I can be ready.
I can be ready.
01:03:12.889 --> 01:03:14.562
- Good.
- Thank you.
01:03:18.662 --> 01:03:20.005
How is he?
01:03:20.997 --> 01:03:22.305
He'll be fine.
01:03:22.399 --> 01:03:23.673
Poor creature.
01:03:23.933 --> 01:03:25.606
Is it true? Scorsese?
01:03:25.835 --> 01:03:28.679
Yeah. And the new Pope, too.
01:03:30.173 --> 01:03:32.175
You're an asshole, Jake!
01:03:32.942 --> 01:03:35.183
I'm the one keeping this afloat!
01:03:49.676 --> 01:03:51.076
Hey.
01:03:54.297 --> 01:03:55.640
Are you OK?
01:03:55.865 --> 01:03:57.105
Yeah. Yeah.
01:03:57.167 --> 01:03:59.807
No, I-I... think I cut my hand shaving.
01:04:00.370 --> 01:04:03.544
Well, I-I-I just wanted to say...
I'm sorry.
01:04:03.873 --> 01:04:05.045
What for?
01:04:05.065 --> 01:04:06.308
Well..
01:04:06.309 --> 01:04:08.050
I knew what Mike was capable of
01:04:08.144 --> 01:04:09.987
and... I brought him in, anyway.
01:04:10.213 --> 01:04:12.557
No, no, no, no, no. You did good.
01:04:12.649 --> 01:04:14.219
Are you kidding? You did great.
01:04:15.885 --> 01:04:19.731
Tomorrow's my first opening
night on Broadway.
01:04:20.056 --> 01:04:21.626
Mine, too.
01:04:22.392 --> 01:04:26.067
And I just want to let you know that,
no matter what happens, that...
01:04:27.230 --> 01:04:28.903
I'm really grateful to you.
01:04:29.165 --> 01:04:31.008
Oh, no, no. Me, too.
01:04:32.068 --> 01:04:33.741
Hey, this is exciting.
01:04:34.738 --> 01:04:37.742
We have a full house. Jake just told me.
01:04:39.743 --> 01:04:41.586
Yeah, it's great.
01:04:49.085 --> 01:04:50.826
Oh, God.
01:05:16.513 --> 01:05:19.016
For fuck's sake, just jump already.
01:05:20.350 --> 01:05:22.023
How'd you know I'd be up here?
01:05:22.685 --> 01:05:26.690
Well, I didn't know, but I...
kinda hoped, maybe.
01:05:27.857 --> 01:05:29.359
Where's Lesley?
01:05:30.693 --> 01:05:33.697
Lesley? Uh, Lesley's moving on.
01:05:35.198 --> 01:05:36.871
Smart girl.
01:05:37.066 --> 01:05:39.910
Oh, thank you. I appreciate that support.
01:05:42.205 --> 01:05:44.207
You ready for your last preview?
01:05:45.074 --> 01:05:46.075
Sure, yeah.
01:05:46.376 --> 01:05:47.719
Who did that to you?
01:05:50.046 --> 01:05:52.219
Could have been anybody, I guess.
01:05:52.549 --> 01:05:53.721
Yes.
01:05:54.050 --> 01:05:56.394
I'm sort of hoping it was Lesley.
01:05:57.220 --> 01:05:59.063
Well, it wasn't Lesley.
01:06:02.559 --> 01:06:03.902
Oh, my God.
01:06:04.227 --> 01:06:06.400
- Are you fucking kidding me?
- No.
01:06:08.398 --> 01:06:10.671
- Jesus Christ!
- No, no. I-I...
01:06:11.234 --> 01:06:13.236
I think maybe I deserved it.
01:06:15.238 --> 01:06:16.581
Fuck.
01:06:16.982 --> 01:06:18.220
Hey.
01:06:18.241 --> 01:06:19.584
Fuck.
01:06:20.910 --> 01:06:22.583
Tell me something. What i...
01:06:23.079 --> 01:06:26.424
What is the worst thing that he did to you?
01:06:26.483 --> 01:06:27.587
Seriously.
01:06:27.917 --> 01:06:29.760
He was never around.
01:06:30.253 --> 01:06:33.757
Yeah? I mean, so what? That was it?
01:06:34.090 --> 01:06:37.765
No. It was... how he
tried to make up for it
01:06:37.961 --> 01:06:41.966
by constantly trying to
convince me that I was special.
01:06:50.273 --> 01:06:52.116
OK. Look.
01:06:52.942 --> 01:06:54.285
Look at me.
01:06:55.445 --> 01:06:57.118
He was right, though.
01:06:57.780 --> 01:06:58.724
About what?
01:06:58.815 --> 01:07:00.624
About your being special.
01:07:02.285 --> 01:07:04.629
You know, you-you've been
hanging around here...
01:07:04.954 --> 01:07:06.900
trying to make yourself invisible
01:07:06.990 --> 01:07:09.470
behind this fragile little
fuck-up routine, of yours...
01:07:09.792 --> 01:07:11.135
but you can't.
01:07:11.628 --> 01:07:14.302
You're anything but invisible. You're big.
01:07:15.465 --> 01:07:17.138
You're kind of a great mess.
01:07:17.467 --> 01:07:20.812
It's like a candle burning on
both ends, but it's beautiful.
01:07:21.971 --> 01:07:25.817
No amount of booze or weed or
attitude is gonna hide that.
01:07:31.648 --> 01:07:36.154
I'm glad you're an actor and not a
writer, 'cause that was, like...
01:07:37.654 --> 01:07:38.997
Oprah...
01:07:40.323 --> 01:07:41.666
Hallmark..
01:07:42.559 --> 01:07:43.902
R. Kelly, bad.
01:07:44.160 --> 01:07:45.503
Yeah, well, I wasn't...
01:08:09.185 --> 01:08:10.186
Truth or dare?
01:08:10.853 --> 01:08:13.026
- Truth.
- No.
01:08:17.527 --> 01:08:19.700
- Truth.
- No.
01:08:22.699 --> 01:08:24.042
Truth or dare?
01:08:45.555 --> 01:08:47.728
Do you have any idea where you're going?
01:08:47.957 --> 01:08:49.630
Absolutely not.
01:08:58.901 --> 01:09:00.574
How do you do it?
01:09:01.571 --> 01:09:02.914
Do what?
01:09:03.139 --> 01:09:04.584
How do you go out there,
every single night,
01:09:04.641 --> 01:09:06.985
and pretend to be somebody else,
in front of all those people?
01:09:08.411 --> 01:09:11.255
I don't pretend out there. I told you.
01:09:11.581 --> 01:09:14.926
I pretend just about every
place else, but not out there.
01:09:15.918 --> 01:09:17.192
That's a shame.
01:09:19.088 --> 01:09:20.761
What are we doing here?
01:09:21.758 --> 01:09:23.101
What do you mean?
01:09:24.093 --> 01:09:26.437
I mean, what are we doing here?
01:09:32.357 --> 01:09:34.257
Fucking teenagers.
01:09:35.605 --> 01:09:39.781
By the time we got to the
hospital, the kid was dead.
01:09:40.109 --> 01:09:43.955
So, we took the old couple up to the OR.
01:09:44.280 --> 01:09:47.124
And we... worked like hell on them...
01:09:47.784 --> 01:09:49.957
through most of the night.
01:09:50.953 --> 01:09:55.629
The husband, the old man, was
depressed for the longest time.
01:09:55.958 --> 01:09:59.633
Even after I told him the wife was gonna
pull through, he was still depressed.
01:09:59.962 --> 01:10:04.638
So, I went up to the mouth
hole and I asked him.
01:10:06.469 --> 01:10:10.474
And he told me it was because
he couldn't see her...
01:10:10.807 --> 01:10:13.310
the wife, through the eye holes.
01:10:13.543 --> 01:10:15.216
Can you imagine?
01:10:15.311 --> 01:10:17.814
I'm telling you, this guy's
heart was breaking...
01:10:18.147 --> 01:10:23.153
because he couldn't turn his goddamn
head, just to see his goddamn wife.
01:10:23.820 --> 01:10:24.821
So...
01:10:25.321 --> 01:10:29.326
I guess the question... we
should ask ourselves is...
01:10:30.159 --> 01:10:33.834
what do we talk about,
when we talk about love?
01:10:45.842 --> 01:10:48.686
Mel and I had been together five years...
01:10:48.911 --> 01:10:52.188
and I don't know how many times
I've heard the words "I love you,"
01:10:52.248 --> 01:10:53.420
but it wasn't 'til that night...
01:10:53.583 --> 01:10:54.957
- Blood rig should be good now.
- OK.
01:10:55.051 --> 01:10:57.190
Be ready to go in two minutes.
01:10:57.687 --> 01:10:59.360
That was amazing!
01:10:59.589 --> 01:11:01.091
- Yeah, good, right?
- Yeah.
01:11:04.360 --> 01:11:05.703
It's actually going well.
01:11:06.028 --> 01:11:07.200
Yeah.
01:11:08.746 --> 01:11:10.746
I, uh...
01:11:10.767 --> 01:11:12.110
think we need to talk.
01:11:12.201 --> 01:11:13.441
No, no.
01:11:13.870 --> 01:11:15.543
Yeah, I guess you're right...
01:11:15.772 --> 01:11:18.082
but we will eventually,
because that's the only way
01:11:18.141 --> 01:11:20.451
I'm gonna get a chance to say I'm sorry.
01:11:20.877 --> 01:11:22.720
I really am sorry.
01:11:23.713 --> 01:11:25.386
We could've made great parents.
01:11:25.615 --> 01:11:26.958
Horrible. We'd have been...
01:11:27.049 --> 01:11:28.289
awful. We would've raised, like...
01:11:28.551 --> 01:11:30.895
- a serial killer.
- Or Justin Bieber.
01:11:33.556 --> 01:11:35.558
I really wanted to be a mom.
01:11:36.392 --> 01:11:38.895
But my body doesn't seem to agree.
01:11:44.801 --> 01:11:46.474
When I imagined myself on Broadway,
01:11:46.569 --> 01:11:48.810
I never saw the dancing reindeer.
01:11:49.071 --> 01:11:50.414
Nice touch.
01:11:56.245 --> 01:11:59.590
In the days before Nick's depression
started to eat away at him...
01:11:59.816 --> 01:12:01.762
he had no idea I was pregnant...
01:12:02.585 --> 01:12:04.758
and I never intended on telling him.
01:12:05.254 --> 01:12:06.699
I guess we make choices in life,
01:12:06.823 --> 01:12:08.928
and we choose to live with them.
01:12:09.258 --> 01:12:10.601
Or not.
01:12:11.260 --> 01:12:12.933
I didn't want that baby.
01:12:13.496 --> 01:12:15.772
Not because I didn't love
Nick, and not because
01:12:15.832 --> 01:12:18.438
I didn't love the idea
of it, but because...
01:12:19.602 --> 01:12:22.276
I just wasn't ready to love myself.
01:12:23.940 --> 01:12:26.181
There's a distance to it, now.
01:12:27.677 --> 01:12:30.180
Hey, Jimmy, you got a smoke?
01:13:16.380 --> 01:13:17.380
Jimmy!
01:13:20.974 --> 01:13:21.974
Hey!
01:13:26.482 --> 01:13:27.482
Hey!
01:13:27.503 --> 01:13:29.346
Jimmy! Jimmy!
01:13:29.672 --> 01:13:30.673
Jimmy!!
01:13:32.993 --> 01:13:33.993
Hey!
01:13:36.846 --> 01:13:38.189
Shit!
01:13:39.682 --> 01:13:40.854
Fuck!
01:13:47.023 --> 01:13:48.366
Fuck.
01:13:57.700 --> 01:13:59.611
Hey, aren't you Riggan Thomson?
01:13:59.702 --> 01:14:01.306
Holy shit, let me get an autograph.
01:14:01.704 --> 01:14:03.706
Don't be a dick. Give me an autograph.
01:14:04.273 --> 01:14:05.445
Dude, you fucking rock!
01:14:05.708 --> 01:14:07.051
Birdman!
01:14:07.710 --> 01:14:09.053
Oh, shit!
01:14:15.384 --> 01:14:17.557
Oh, my God! You know who that is?
01:14:19.055 --> 01:14:21.057
Oh, can we take one picture!
01:14:21.390 --> 01:14:24.064
Just one picture! Kids, get next to him!
01:14:24.393 --> 01:14:25.736
You suck!
01:14:26.062 --> 01:14:27.735
You suuuuck!
01:14:38.741 --> 01:14:40.414
Riggan, we're going to miss him.
01:14:40.743 --> 01:14:43.747
It's the Bird-fucking-man!
Hey, come look at this guy!
01:14:44.080 --> 01:14:47.755
Birdman! Hey, Birdman, whooo, look at that!
01:14:54.991 --> 01:14:56.493
Where you going, man?
01:14:56.759 --> 01:14:58.932
You look so old in person.
01:14:59.261 --> 01:15:00.763
Fuck you!
01:15:04.266 --> 01:15:07.110
Sir! Sir! Where are you going?
01:15:07.336 --> 01:15:10.112
Sir! Where are you? Sir!
01:15:10.439 --> 01:15:11.383
What are you doing?
01:15:11.474 --> 01:15:14.455
I'm waiting for Jake. This
is my attorney, Mr. Roth.
01:15:14.677 --> 01:15:17.624
We're pursuing financial
remunerations for the injuries...
01:15:17.847 --> 01:15:19.190
- I got a play to do!
- Excuse me?
01:15:19.448 --> 01:15:21.121
Sir, you can't go in there!
01:15:21.450 --> 01:15:24.294
Actors Equity is a very strong union, sir!
01:15:34.797 --> 01:15:38.472
Knock, knock, knock! Terri! Terri!
01:15:38.801 --> 01:15:39.973
Ed?
01:15:41.871 --> 01:15:43.214
What are-what are you doing here?
01:15:43.372 --> 01:15:46.046
Why?! I just need you to tell me why?
01:15:46.308 --> 01:15:47.981
Take it easy, Ed. I know this is hard.
01:15:48.210 --> 01:15:49.883
Shut up! Fuck you! Shut up!
01:15:50.146 --> 01:15:51.147
Shut up!
01:15:51.380 --> 01:15:52.984
Eddie, please!
01:15:56.485 --> 01:15:58.328
What's wrong with me?!
01:15:59.822 --> 01:16:03.497
Why do I always... beg people to love me?
01:16:03.826 --> 01:16:07.672
Eddie, please, just... please,
just give me the gun.
01:16:09.498 --> 01:16:11.500
I just wanted to be what you wanted.
01:16:11.834 --> 01:16:15.179
Now, I spend every fucking day...
01:16:15.504 --> 01:16:17.506
trying to be somebody
else, somebody I'm not!
01:16:17.740 --> 01:16:20.084
Put the gun down. She doesn't love you!
01:16:20.843 --> 01:16:21.787
Eddie.
01:16:21.877 --> 01:16:25.017
Look at me. I was drowning.
01:16:25.114 --> 01:16:27.788
I-I'm just not capable of that kind of...
01:16:29.018 --> 01:16:31.862
You deserve to be loved, Eddie. You do.
01:16:32.188 --> 01:16:34.190
- I just wanted to be what you wanted.
- Hello?
01:16:34.690 --> 01:16:37.034
Mr. Roth? OK, don't-don't
leave, please don't...
01:16:37.359 --> 01:16:39.202
Is that a threat? What wheelchair?
01:16:39.528 --> 01:16:42.372
OK, Mr. Roth, please, just hear me out.
Will you hear me out?
01:16:42.598 --> 01:16:44.942
Don't hang up. Don't hang up. OK, listen.
01:16:45.201 --> 01:16:47.147
Give me 10 minutes to grab my things,
01:16:47.236 --> 01:16:49.876
give me 10 minutes, and we can meet
to discu... Please, don't hang up.
01:16:50.372 --> 01:16:52.875
Goddamn it! The motherfucker hung up!
01:17:42.258 --> 01:17:43.259
Dad.
01:17:45.261 --> 01:17:46.604
Dad!
01:17:46.624 --> 01:17:47.428
Hey!
01:17:47.429 --> 01:17:48.669
Are you... OK?
01:17:48.764 --> 01:17:49.936
Why?
01:17:50.766 --> 01:17:52.939
You... s-seem sort of...
01:17:53.135 --> 01:17:55.274
No, I'm good, I'm good.
01:17:55.471 --> 01:17:57.473
This is good. You want some?
01:17:57.773 --> 01:17:58.945
No.
01:17:59.246 --> 01:18:00.555
OK.
01:18:00.776 --> 01:18:04.121
Do you really think you'll be
ready for opening tomorrow?
01:18:04.446 --> 01:18:05.789
Yeah. Yep.
01:18:07.449 --> 01:18:09.622
Yeah, well, I mean...
01:18:10.119 --> 01:18:12.395
previews were pretty much a train wreck.
01:18:12.488 --> 01:18:14.798
We can't seem to get through
a performance, without...
01:18:15.457 --> 01:18:19.803
a raging fire or a raging hard-on.
I'm broke.
01:18:20.129 --> 01:18:22.973
I'm not sleeping, like, you know... at all.
01:18:23.299 --> 01:18:27.975
And, uh, this play is kinda
starting to feel like a...
01:18:28.304 --> 01:18:32.480
miniature, deformed version
of myself that just keeps...
01:18:32.808 --> 01:18:34.810
following me around and, like...
01:18:35.311 --> 01:18:39.316
hitting me in the balls with a,
like, a tiny little hammer.
01:18:41.317 --> 01:18:42.990
I'm sorry, what was the question?
01:18:43.319 --> 01:18:44.662
Never mind.
01:18:45.187 --> 01:18:46.860
Tonight wasn't bad.
01:18:47.489 --> 01:18:48.433
I know.
01:18:48.524 --> 01:18:49.832
It was weird, but it was kind of cool.
01:18:50.159 --> 01:18:51.103
Yeah, really, you think?
01:18:51.193 --> 01:18:53.572
- Yeah, I think people liked it.
- Yeah, well...
01:18:53.829 --> 01:18:56.002
What are you doing, by the way? Homework?
01:18:56.332 --> 01:18:57.675
No, I don't..
01:18:58.000 --> 01:19:01.004
No, um... When I was in
rehab, they made us do this.
01:19:01.203 --> 01:19:02.375
Really? What is it?
01:19:02.671 --> 01:19:06.448
It's, um... These dashes
represent the six billion years
01:19:06.542 --> 01:19:07.680
that the Earth has been around.
01:19:08.043 --> 01:19:11.183
And so, each dash represents
a thousand years.
01:19:11.380 --> 01:19:15.726
And, um, this... is how
long humans have been here.
01:19:16.685 --> 01:19:18.687
150,000 years.
01:19:19.688 --> 01:19:21.292
I think they're trying to remind us that
01:19:21.390 --> 01:19:24.030
that's all our ego and
self-obsession are worth.
01:19:28.697 --> 01:19:30.870
I was a shitty father, wasn't I?
01:19:32.368 --> 01:19:33.870
No, you were...
01:19:36.372 --> 01:19:37.874
You were fine.
01:19:37.875 --> 01:19:39.187
Yeah.
01:19:39.208 --> 01:19:41.711
That's right, I was... I was just fine.
01:19:42.831 --> 01:19:44.831
Um...
01:19:45.214 --> 01:19:46.557
I can't...
01:19:46.749 --> 01:19:47.750
- Dad?
- What?
01:19:48.717 --> 01:19:50.390
Oh, shoot. Ow! I'm sorry.
01:19:50.586 --> 01:19:53.931
You just wiped out the entire human race.
01:19:54.723 --> 01:19:57.226
There it goes. I'm sorry.
01:19:59.061 --> 01:20:00.062
Hey, um...
01:20:00.596 --> 01:20:03.270
You're becoming a trending topic.
01:20:03.565 --> 01:20:04.600
Really?
01:20:06.235 --> 01:20:09.580
I should probably tell you about
this before anybody else does.
01:20:13.075 --> 01:20:16.750
350,000 views in less than an hour.
01:20:18.580 --> 01:20:19.752
Fuck.
01:20:22.251 --> 01:20:25.095
Believe it or not, this is power.
01:20:29.758 --> 01:20:31.601
Hey, look it's Riggan Thomson!
01:20:31.927 --> 01:20:33.600
Whoa! Look at that.
01:20:33.929 --> 01:20:36.808
One million, three hundred
thousand hits in the last 2 hours.
01:20:37.099 --> 01:20:38.942
What you're seeing is Birdman
actor, Riggan Thomson
01:20:39.134 --> 01:20:41.236
- running through the streets...
- Hey, gimme another one.
01:20:41.437 --> 01:20:42.472
You got it.
01:20:42.771 --> 01:20:44.114
Oh, come on. That takes a lot of balls.
01:20:44.174 --> 01:20:45.650
- Or not.
- Ouch!
01:20:46.442 --> 01:20:48.479
What do you need to get a job,
in this town, these days?
01:20:48.777 --> 01:20:51.121
I know, I mean, why do actors
have to resort to this? Come on.
01:20:52.114 --> 01:20:54.617
That's going over to Ms. Dickinson.
01:20:54.950 --> 01:20:56.793
Yeah. Yeah. Give me a minute.
01:21:01.123 --> 01:21:04.627
Hey, um, that's on me.
She's a friend of mine.
01:21:05.127 --> 01:21:06.800
- OK.
- No problem.
01:21:07.129 --> 01:21:08.301
Thank you.
01:21:19.575 --> 01:21:20.918
That was...
01:21:21.243 --> 01:21:24.447
twenty years before I put
on that goddamn outfit.
01:21:24.513 --> 01:21:26.015
I don't care.
01:21:28.417 --> 01:21:30.419
OK. I was... just...
01:21:31.920 --> 01:21:34.293
You... you know, before
you come tomorrow night.
01:21:34.356 --> 01:21:36.326
- It doesn't matter.
- OK.
01:21:39.428 --> 01:21:41.601
I'm gonna destroy your play.
01:21:42.765 --> 01:21:44.745
But you didn't even see it.
01:21:44.833 --> 01:21:46.478
Um, you know, did I do
something to offend you?
01:21:46.535 --> 01:21:48.208
As a matter of fact, you did.
01:21:48.437 --> 01:21:50.041
You took up space, in a
theater, which otherwise,
01:21:50.105 --> 01:21:52.381
might have been used on
something worthwhile.
01:21:54.109 --> 01:21:58.285
OK. Well... I mean, you don't even know
if it's any good or not. I didn't...
01:21:58.614 --> 01:22:02.790
That's true. I haven't read a word
of it, or even seen a preview...
01:22:03.118 --> 01:22:04.529
but after the opening tomorrow,
01:22:04.586 --> 01:22:08.124
I'm going to turn in the worst
review anybody has ever read.
01:22:08.957 --> 01:22:10.959
And I'm going to close your play.
01:22:11.627 --> 01:22:13.300
Would you like to know why?
01:22:13.796 --> 01:22:17.801
Because I hate you, and
everyone you represent.
01:22:18.300 --> 01:22:21.975
Entitled, selfish, spoiled children.
01:22:22.805 --> 01:22:26.480
Blissfully untrained,
unversed and unprepared...
01:22:26.809 --> 01:22:28.811
to even attempt real art.
01:22:29.144 --> 01:22:32.990
Handing each other awards for
cartoons and pornography.
01:22:33.248 --> 01:22:35.990
Measuring your worth in weekends?
01:22:36.485 --> 01:22:38.158
Well, this is the theater.
01:22:38.420 --> 01:22:40.229
And you don't get to
come in here and pretend
01:22:40.289 --> 01:22:41.996
you can write, direct and act...
01:22:42.257 --> 01:22:43.759
in your own propaganda piece
01:22:43.826 --> 01:22:46.102
without coming through me first.
01:22:46.462 --> 01:22:48.908
- Ah.
- So break a leg.
01:22:51.000 --> 01:22:54.004
Wow. You know, what has to
happen in a person's life
01:22:54.470 --> 01:22:56.416
for them to become a critic, anyway?
01:22:57.239 --> 01:22:59.082
What are you writing, another review?
01:22:59.408 --> 01:23:01.081
Huh? Is it any good?
01:23:01.410 --> 01:23:04.755
Is it? Is it bad? Did you even see this?
Let me read it.
01:23:04.947 --> 01:23:06.790
- I will call the police.
- No, you won't call the police.
01:23:06.849 --> 01:23:08.624
Let's read your fucking review.
01:23:08.917 --> 01:23:11.420
"Callow." Callow is a label.
01:23:12.254 --> 01:23:14.427
"Lackluster." That's just a label.
01:23:14.756 --> 01:23:17.498
Margin... "Marginalia"? Are you kidding me?
01:23:17.593 --> 01:23:19.595
It sounds like you need
penicillin to clear that up.
01:23:19.928 --> 01:23:23.432
That's a label, too. These are just all
labels. You just label everything.
01:23:23.765 --> 01:23:28.111
That's so fucking lazy. You're just...
you're a lazy fucker.
01:23:28.437 --> 01:23:29.609
You're a lazy...
01:23:29.938 --> 01:23:32.942
Do you know what this is? Do
you even know what that is?
01:23:33.275 --> 01:23:34.948
You don't. You know why?
01:23:35.143 --> 01:23:37.680
Because you can't see this thing
01:23:37.779 --> 01:23:39.156
if you don't know how to label it.
01:23:39.448 --> 01:23:43.328
You mistake all those little noises
in your head, for true knowledge.
01:23:43.619 --> 01:23:44.996
- Are you finished?
- No, I'm not finished.
01:23:45.287 --> 01:23:48.131
There's nothing in here about technique.
There's nothing in here about structure...
01:23:48.323 --> 01:23:51.668
nothing in here about intention. It's
just a bunch of crappy opinions...
01:23:51.960 --> 01:23:54.964
backed up by even crappier comparisons.
01:23:55.297 --> 01:23:57.971
You write a couple of
paragraphs, and you know what?
01:23:58.166 --> 01:24:01.306
None of this costs you fucking anything.
01:24:01.970 --> 01:24:04.974
You risk nothing. Nothing,
nothing, nothing!
01:24:05.307 --> 01:24:07.309
Well, I'm a fucking actor.
01:24:10.812 --> 01:24:13.156
This play cost me everything.
01:24:14.983 --> 01:24:18.157
So I'll tell you what.
You take this fucking...
01:24:18.487 --> 01:24:20.831
malicious, cowardly...
01:24:21.156 --> 01:24:25.502
shittily written review and you
shove that right the fuck up...
01:24:25.827 --> 01:24:29.502
your wrinkly... tight ass.
01:24:34.503 --> 01:24:36.915
You're no actor, you're a celebrity.
01:24:37.005 --> 01:24:38.507
Let's be clear on that.
01:24:44.846 --> 01:24:46.848
I'm gonna kill your play.
01:25:19.381 --> 01:25:21.054
Tomorrow...
01:25:21.883 --> 01:25:24.727
and tomorrow...
01:25:25.721 --> 01:25:27.564
and tomorrow,
01:25:29.057 --> 01:25:31.731
Creeps in this...
01:25:33.895 --> 01:25:36.068
petty pace...
01:25:36.898 --> 01:25:39.071
from day to day...
01:25:40.902 --> 01:25:43.906
to the last... syllable...
01:25:45.907 --> 01:25:48.251
of recorded time;
01:25:50.078 --> 01:25:51.580
And...
01:25:52.748 --> 01:25:56.594
all of our yesterdays...
01:25:58.420 --> 01:26:00.093
have lighted...
01:26:01.256 --> 01:26:02.929
fools...
01:26:05.427 --> 01:26:07.100
Gimme a pint of whiskey, please.
01:26:07.295 --> 01:26:09.468
the way to dusty death.
01:26:10.265 --> 01:26:13.109
Out... out...
01:26:14.603 --> 01:26:16.207
$6.50, my friend.
01:26:16.304 --> 01:26:17.942
- Huh?
- $6.50.
01:26:19.941 --> 01:26:22.615
Here, just, uh, uh... just take that.
01:26:23.612 --> 01:26:24.784
But your...
01:26:25.447 --> 01:26:28.121
Life is but a walking shadow,
01:26:29.951 --> 01:26:31.624
A poor...
01:26:32.287 --> 01:26:33.630
player...
01:26:34.790 --> 01:26:39.466
that struts and frets his
hour upon the stage...
01:26:40.128 --> 01:26:41.971
and then is heard...
01:26:43.131 --> 01:26:44.633
no more!
01:26:45.133 --> 01:26:46.806
It is a tale...
01:26:47.302 --> 01:26:50.977
told by an idiot...
01:26:52.307 --> 01:26:55.151
full of sound and fury...
01:26:56.144 --> 01:27:00.149
signifying nothing!
01:27:03.652 --> 01:27:06.155
Where you going, man? Was that too much?
01:27:06.655 --> 01:27:08.657
I was just trying to give you a range.
01:27:08.857 --> 01:27:11.064
It's a little bit too much.
I can tell, because you...
01:27:11.159 --> 01:27:12.866
I just wanted to give you a range.
I just...
01:27:13.161 --> 01:27:16.506
That was a little too much.
That was a little too much.
01:28:10.385 --> 01:28:14.060
God... you look like shit, brother.
01:28:14.556 --> 01:28:18.060
You get that mongoloid look when
you're hung over. Don't ya?
01:28:18.393 --> 01:28:19.394
Huh-huh. Yeah.
01:28:20.896 --> 01:28:23.240
Let's go! Come on. Get up.
01:28:23.732 --> 01:28:25.575
It's a beautiful day.
01:28:26.067 --> 01:28:30.243
Forget about the Times...
everyone else has.
01:28:30.906 --> 01:28:32.908
Come on! Stand up!
01:28:34.242 --> 01:28:37.189
So you're not a great actor. Who cares?
01:28:37.279 --> 01:28:39.088
You're much more than that.
01:28:39.414 --> 01:28:43.089
You tower over these other
theater douchebags.
01:28:43.418 --> 01:28:45.091
You're a movie star, man!
01:28:45.320 --> 01:28:48.096
You're a global force! Don't you get it?
01:28:48.323 --> 01:28:50.496
You spent your life building a bank account
01:28:50.592 --> 01:28:52.663
and a reputation, and you blew 'em both.
01:28:52.928 --> 01:28:53.998
Good for you.
01:28:54.262 --> 01:28:56.606
Fuck it. We'll make a comeback.
01:28:56.665 --> 01:28:59.271
They're waiting for something huge.
Well, give it to them.
01:28:59.668 --> 01:29:03.013
Shave off that pathetic goatee.
Get some surgery!
01:29:03.271 --> 01:29:05.615
Sixty's the new thirty, motherfucker.
01:29:05.841 --> 01:29:09.687
You're the original, man. You paved the
way for these other little clowns.
01:29:09.945 --> 01:29:11.515
Give the people what they want...
01:29:11.613 --> 01:29:13.456
some good old-fashioned apocalyptic porn.
01:29:13.682 --> 01:29:15.684
Birdman: The Phoenix Rises.
01:29:15.951 --> 01:29:18.124
Pimple-faced gamers
creaming in their pants.
01:29:18.353 --> 01:29:21.197
A billion worldwide, guaranteed!
01:29:21.289 --> 01:29:23.030
You are larger than life, man.
01:29:23.291 --> 01:29:26.295
You save people from their
boring, miserable lives.
01:29:26.628 --> 01:29:29.472
You make them jump,
laugh, shit their pants.
01:29:29.698 --> 01:29:31.700
All you have to do is...
01:29:42.310 --> 01:29:44.221
That's what I'm talking about.
01:29:44.312 --> 01:29:46.986
Bones rattling! Big, loud, fast!
01:29:48.149 --> 01:29:51.494
Look at these people, at their eyes...
they're sparkling.
01:29:51.686 --> 01:29:55.031
They love this shit. They love blood.
They love action.
01:29:55.323 --> 01:29:59.999
Not this talky, depressing,
philosophical bullshit.
01:30:07.669 --> 01:30:09.012
Yes.
01:30:09.337 --> 01:30:12.011
And the next time you screech...
01:30:13.508 --> 01:30:17.012
it'll explode into millions of eardrums.
01:30:17.512 --> 01:30:21.688
You'll glimmer on thousands
of screens around the globe.
01:30:22.017 --> 01:30:24.361
Another blockbuster.
01:30:25.186 --> 01:30:27.530
You are a god.
01:30:28.023 --> 01:30:31.368
See? There you go, you motherfucker.
01:30:31.693 --> 01:30:34.037
Gravity doesn't even apply to you.
01:30:34.229 --> 01:30:38.041
Wait till you see the faces of
those who thought we were finished.
01:30:38.233 --> 01:30:40.440
Listen to me. Let's go back one more time
01:30:40.535 --> 01:30:42.572
and show them what we're capable of.
01:30:42.871 --> 01:30:47.547
We have to end it on our own terms...
with a grand gesture.
01:30:47.742 --> 01:30:50.416
Flames. Sacrifice.
01:30:51.212 --> 01:30:52.384
Icarus.
01:30:53.048 --> 01:30:54.721
You can do it.
01:30:55.050 --> 01:30:56.393
You hear me?
01:30:56.885 --> 01:30:57.886
You are...
01:30:58.053 --> 01:30:59.555
Birdman!
01:31:03.892 --> 01:31:07.897
Hey! Is this for real, or
are you shooting a film?
01:31:09.397 --> 01:31:11.070
A film!
01:31:11.566 --> 01:31:14.069
You people are full of shit!
01:31:15.403 --> 01:31:17.576
Hey, man, can I help you?
01:31:18.740 --> 01:31:19.775
You should be careful.
01:31:20.075 --> 01:31:22.578
Sorry, I can't talk. I'm late.
01:31:23.244 --> 01:31:24.587
Music.
01:31:28.917 --> 01:31:30.260
You OK, man?
01:31:32.253 --> 01:31:34.255
You want me to call somebody for you?
01:31:36.257 --> 01:31:37.759
Do you know where to go?
01:31:41.763 --> 01:31:42.798
Yeah.
01:31:43.765 --> 01:31:45.108
I know where to go.
01:31:46.601 --> 01:31:48.402
Oh! Hey! No, wait! What the fu...!
01:31:59.547 --> 01:32:02.323
Oh! Oh!
01:32:12.861 --> 01:32:13.862
Whoa! Ha, ha, ha ha!
01:32:31.079 --> 01:32:32.422
You see?
01:32:33.581 --> 01:32:35.857
This is where you belong.
01:32:39.754 --> 01:32:41.427
Above them all.
01:32:45.406 --> 01:32:47.239
Hey, you! Hey!
01:33:43.651 --> 01:33:44.596
Stop the music.
01:33:44.616 --> 01:33:45.152
Hey, hey, hey!
01:33:45.153 --> 01:33:46.096
I beg your pardon?
01:33:46.216 --> 01:33:46.987
Hello, sir? Hello!
01:33:46.988 --> 01:33:48.990
Sir, you did not pay me!
01:33:49.324 --> 01:33:52.228
What are you doing? Where you going? Hey!
01:33:52.248 --> 01:33:53.160
Hey, you deaf, idiot?
01:33:53.161 --> 01:33:56.005
This guy didn't pay me, man.
He's fucking crazy!
01:34:30.632 --> 01:34:31.838
Not a bad first act, huh?
01:34:31.933 --> 01:34:33.037
Not bad at all.
01:34:33.301 --> 01:34:34.473
It's going really well.
01:34:34.702 --> 01:34:36.875
I didn't think he could do Broadway.
01:34:37.372 --> 01:34:38.715
I never would have expected it, from him.
01:34:38.873 --> 01:34:40.216
If the 2nd act is half as good as that...
01:34:40.542 --> 01:34:42.044
it's pretty glorious.
01:34:42.210 --> 01:34:44.212
What do we talk about when we
talk about Riggan Thomson?
01:34:44.379 --> 01:34:45.483
How long's the intermission?
01:34:45.647 --> 01:34:47.217
Birdman can act.
01:35:05.833 --> 01:35:06.834
Oh! Whoa.
01:35:07.068 --> 01:35:09.412
I just came to say hello.
01:35:09.737 --> 01:35:12.877
It's going great out there. You're so good.
01:35:12.974 --> 01:35:14.681
I mean it. You're... I really mean it.
01:35:14.909 --> 01:35:17.913
Places for the final scene, Riggan.
Places for the final scene.
01:35:18.179 --> 01:35:19.385
Do you need to...?
01:35:19.480 --> 01:35:21.084
No, it's fine. Just sit here for a second.
01:35:21.349 --> 01:35:23.351
Look at all these roses.
01:35:23.585 --> 01:35:24.859
I hate roses.
01:35:24.919 --> 01:35:26.091
And you hate roses.
01:35:28.089 --> 01:35:30.262
Are you OK? You seem...
01:35:30.925 --> 01:35:34.270
You seem... I don't know,
you seem abnormally calm.
01:35:36.264 --> 01:35:37.766
I am calm.
01:35:38.766 --> 01:35:40.609
I am great, actually.
01:35:42.337 --> 01:35:43.338
You know...
01:35:44.205 --> 01:35:48.551
I got this... little voice...
talks to me sometimes.
01:35:48.943 --> 01:35:50.616
Tells me the truth.
01:35:50.945 --> 01:35:52.288
It's comforting.
01:35:52.780 --> 01:35:54.782
Kind of scary, but it's comforting.
01:35:55.283 --> 01:35:57.263
I'm going to pretend I
didn't hear you say that.
01:35:57.352 --> 01:35:58.456
OK.
01:35:58.953 --> 01:36:00.796
You wouldn't believe the crowd outside.
01:36:00.888 --> 01:36:03.801
They said some people
paid up to $500 a ticket.
01:36:04.292 --> 01:36:05.464
Really?
01:36:06.694 --> 01:36:07.695
Hey.
01:36:09.297 --> 01:36:11.740
- Can I tell you something funny?
- Sure.
01:36:12.900 --> 01:36:14.743
You remember our last anniversary party?
01:36:14.969 --> 01:36:17.074
Seriously? You're gonna ruin
a nice moment, with that?
01:36:17.138 --> 01:36:18.481
Do you remember the party?
01:36:18.740 --> 01:36:20.913
The party where you fucked
Janet Rossbach, in our bed.
01:36:20.975 --> 01:36:22.249
Try to skip over that part.
01:36:22.477 --> 01:36:23.478
Oh, gladly.
01:36:23.811 --> 01:36:25.950
And you threw all the
guests out of the house...
01:36:26.047 --> 01:36:28.152
and you threw all the
furniture out the window.
01:36:28.416 --> 01:36:30.289
- I remember...
- And you locked yourself in the bathroom.
01:36:30.318 --> 01:36:31.991
Riggan. Why are we talking about...
01:36:32.253 --> 01:36:33.596
I drove out to...
01:36:34.088 --> 01:36:35.431
Malibu.
01:36:36.324 --> 01:36:40.170
And I just sat on the beach, for a
while, looking out at the ocean.
01:36:40.428 --> 01:36:41.429
Riggan.
01:36:41.663 --> 01:36:43.336
And I... walked...
01:36:43.665 --> 01:36:45.508
straight into the water.
01:36:50.505 --> 01:36:52.507
And then I tried to drown myself.
01:36:57.679 --> 01:37:00.182
I was up to my chest when
I felt the first one.
01:37:00.515 --> 01:37:02.324
On my back, it was like somebody was
01:37:02.417 --> 01:37:05.193
holding a frying pan against
me and really burning.
01:37:05.453 --> 01:37:08.957
And then they were on my
chest and all over my legs.
01:37:09.857 --> 01:37:12.428
The water was full of jellyfish.
01:37:14.762 --> 01:37:15.934
They were all over me.
01:37:15.997 --> 01:37:19.774
I-I had to fight my way out of the
water and went up to the... beach.
01:37:20.101 --> 01:37:23.605
I was rolling around like
a maniac in the sand...
01:37:24.305 --> 01:37:25.648
crying.
01:37:27.275 --> 01:37:29.277
You said it was a sunburn.
01:37:30.445 --> 01:37:33.449
Yeah, I know. And you believed me.
01:37:33.948 --> 01:37:36.121
To be honest, I didn't give a shit.
01:37:44.625 --> 01:37:45.968
I love you.
01:37:49.797 --> 01:37:50.901
And I love Sam.
01:37:50.998 --> 01:37:52.136
I know.
01:37:55.970 --> 01:37:58.473
I really wish I wouldn't have
videotaped her birth, though.
01:37:58.806 --> 01:37:59.978
Why?
01:38:00.308 --> 01:38:01.309
'Cause...
01:38:02.477 --> 01:38:04.479
I just missed the moment, really.
01:38:04.812 --> 01:38:06.223
I don't have it.
01:38:06.314 --> 01:38:08.658
I should have just been
there with the two of you.
01:38:08.983 --> 01:38:12.829
You know... just the three of us.
01:38:16.157 --> 01:38:17.500
But I wasn't.
01:38:17.692 --> 01:38:20.866
I wasn't even present in my own
life, and now I don't have it...
01:38:21.162 --> 01:38:22.835
and, I'm never gonna have it.
01:38:23.164 --> 01:38:24.609
You have Sam.
01:38:24.699 --> 01:38:26.178
Not really, I don't. I mean, she's...
01:38:26.501 --> 01:38:28.344
No, no, no. Listen, she's
just going through...
01:38:28.669 --> 01:38:30.546
No, I get it, I understand.
01:38:30.605 --> 01:38:32.346
I know she needed to have a dad...
01:38:32.540 --> 01:38:35.544
and instead she got this guy who was...
01:38:35.743 --> 01:38:38.219
a three-day viral sensation.
01:38:38.413 --> 01:38:40.321
- It is so pathetic, I can't...
- No. Come on.
01:38:40.414 --> 01:38:42.316
There are things more
pathetic things than that.
01:38:42.517 --> 01:38:43.587
Yeah, like?
01:38:43.684 --> 01:38:45.027
That moustache.
01:38:50.358 --> 01:38:52.304
Riggan, we are in the motel.
01:38:52.393 --> 01:38:55.374
Last scene has started. You're not here.
01:38:55.696 --> 01:38:57.698
Last chance for "places."
01:38:58.232 --> 01:39:00.212
You better get back to your seat.
01:39:20.555 --> 01:39:25.231
Twenty little leopards
laughed at two lofty lions.
01:39:25.560 --> 01:39:28.564
Twenty little leopards
laughed at two lofty lions.
01:39:28.729 --> 01:39:32.534
Twenty little leopards
laughed at two lofty lions.
01:39:32.554 --> 01:39:37.254
Twenty little leopards
laughed at two lofty lions.
01:39:37.274 --> 01:39:41.974
Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah.
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum...
01:40:04.465 --> 01:40:06.467
Break a leg, Mr. Thomson.
01:40:36.063 --> 01:40:39.436
Let me put the blood rig on? Hey!
01:40:42.150 --> 01:40:43.650
Hey!
01:40:43.671 --> 01:40:45.014
Riggan!
01:40:45.634 --> 01:40:47.134
Hey!
01:40:54.682 --> 01:40:55.854
Terri!
01:40:56.350 --> 01:40:57.522
Terri!
01:40:58.586 --> 01:41:00.031
Eddie! What are you doing here?
01:41:00.254 --> 01:41:03.201
Why? I just want you to tell me why.
Just tell me why.
01:41:03.424 --> 01:41:05.529
- Shut up!
- Eddie, please!
01:41:06.427 --> 01:41:08.100
What's the matter with me?
01:41:08.362 --> 01:41:12.037
Tell me what's the matter. Why do I always
end up having to beg people to love me?
01:41:12.366 --> 01:41:14.039
Eddie, please, give me the gun.
01:41:14.368 --> 01:41:17.212
It was me. I was drowning.
I'm just not capable of...
01:41:17.538 --> 01:41:20.883
You deserve to be loved, Eddie. You do.
01:41:22.443 --> 01:41:26.220
I just wanted to be what you wanted.
What you wanted.
01:41:26.447 --> 01:41:28.586
Now I spend every fucking minute trying
01:41:28.683 --> 01:41:30.788
to be something else, something I'm not.
01:41:31.052 --> 01:41:32.725
Just put the gun down, Ed.
01:41:32.787 --> 01:41:34.391
She doesn't love you anymore.
01:41:36.891 --> 01:41:38.564
You don't, do you?
01:41:38.893 --> 01:41:40.065
No.
01:41:40.127 --> 01:41:41.231
And you never will.
01:41:42.063 --> 01:41:43.406
I'm sorry.
01:41:43.864 --> 01:41:45.434
Ah.
01:41:54.909 --> 01:41:56.252
I don't exist.
01:41:59.914 --> 01:42:01.587
I'm not even here.
01:42:02.917 --> 01:42:04.419
I'm not even here.
01:42:05.152 --> 01:42:06.256
Bang!
01:42:18.599 --> 01:42:19.600
Bang!
01:44:09.626 --> 01:44:11.126
Yes?
01:44:13.547 --> 01:44:14.890
Is he up?
01:44:15.182 --> 01:44:16.718
He just woke up.
01:44:22.389 --> 01:44:24.232
I thought I lost you, buddy.
01:44:25.893 --> 01:44:28.203
What the hell happened?
01:44:28.562 --> 01:44:31.406
I was watching you on that stage
and then, all of a sudden...
01:44:31.732 --> 01:44:34.906
you had that goofy look in your
eye and you were just, like...
01:44:35.202 --> 01:44:36.738
What is wrong with you? He tried...
01:44:37.037 --> 01:44:41.213
I'm happy! He's alive! My
best friend is alive! And...
01:44:42.042 --> 01:44:43.885
he happens to be, the
fucking man of the hour.
01:44:44.078 --> 01:44:45.250
What is that?
01:44:45.312 --> 01:44:46.416
You have to be shitting me.
01:44:46.914 --> 01:44:47.915
Read it.
01:44:48.215 --> 01:44:51.253
I don't believe this. "The
Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance"?
01:44:51.552 --> 01:44:52.553
Read it.
01:44:52.920 --> 01:44:54.263
"By Tabitha Dickinson."
01:44:54.321 --> 01:44:55.595
Read it out loud!
01:44:56.257 --> 01:44:58.430
"Thomson has unwittingly given birth
01:44:58.492 --> 01:45:01.098
"to a new form, which can
only be described as...
01:45:01.395 --> 01:45:03.102
"super-realism.
01:45:03.397 --> 01:45:06.105
"Blood was spilled both
literally and metaphorically
01:45:06.167 --> 01:45:07.737
"by artist and audience, alike.
01:45:07.935 --> 01:45:09.278
"Real blood.
01:45:09.570 --> 01:45:11.345
"The blood that has been sorely missing
01:45:11.438 --> 01:45:14.078
"from the veins of the American theater..."
01:45:15.442 --> 01:45:17.444
You're happy about this?
01:45:17.778 --> 01:45:19.758
Happy? I'm fucking euphoric!
01:45:19.814 --> 01:45:22.454
This is the-this is the kind of review
that turns people into living legends!
01:45:22.750 --> 01:45:24.423
He shot the nose off his face!
01:45:24.618 --> 01:45:26.427
He's got a new nose!
01:45:26.487 --> 01:45:28.967
And if he doesn't like that
one, we'll get him a new one!
01:45:29.456 --> 01:45:31.458
We'll use Meg Ryan's guy. Who gives a shit?
01:45:31.692 --> 01:45:33.933
They're lighting candles
for him in Central Park.
01:45:33.994 --> 01:45:35.371
Turn on your TV. Where's the...
01:45:37.064 --> 01:45:38.565
...a spontaneous vigil for
actor Riggan Thomson.
01:45:38.632 --> 01:45:42.136
They're praying for him all across
the country. He did it. You did it!
01:45:43.137 --> 01:45:46.311
I've been reborn, brother.
And I can see the future.
01:45:46.640 --> 01:45:48.677
This play is gonna last forever.
01:45:48.776 --> 01:45:50.722
It's gonna open in London and Paris,
01:45:50.978 --> 01:45:52.355
and the studio is gonna call again and
01:45:52.446 --> 01:45:53.820
we're gonna get some book deals...
you'll see.
01:45:53.981 --> 01:45:55.392
So you can see the future?
01:45:55.482 --> 01:45:56.825
Yeah, I can see the future!
01:45:57.651 --> 01:46:00.825
How about that, huh? Did
you see that coming?
01:46:01.989 --> 01:46:03.662
Why aren't you saying anything?
01:46:04.658 --> 01:46:06.501
This is what you wanted, wasn't it?
01:46:06.994 --> 01:46:08.837
Riggan, this is what you wanted.
01:46:10.998 --> 01:46:12.170
Yeah.
01:46:12.333 --> 01:46:14.335
Yeah, this is what I wanted.
01:46:14.501 --> 01:46:16.538
OK, listen. You're gonna get hit
01:46:16.637 --> 01:46:19.516
with a "brandishing a weapon" charge. OK?
01:46:19.740 --> 01:46:22.243
If anybody talks to you about
it, it was an accident.
01:46:22.509 --> 01:46:24.182
Is that what this was?
01:46:25.179 --> 01:46:27.881
- An accident?
- An accident. That's what I wanna film...
01:46:27.915 --> 01:46:28.916
Did you intend to shoot yourself!
01:46:29.183 --> 01:46:33.359
You motherfuckers, this is a hospital!
Get the fuck out of here!
01:46:33.687 --> 01:46:35.860
This is a hospital!
01:46:36.357 --> 01:46:39.031
Get the fuck out, you assholes!
01:46:39.360 --> 01:46:42.239
Out! This is a personal matter!
01:46:42.329 --> 01:46:43.706
A personal matter!
01:46:44.579 --> 01:46:46.079
I don't give a shit!
01:46:46.100 --> 01:46:48.546
Hey, Sam! What did you feel like
01:46:48.602 --> 01:46:50.912
the night your father
tried to kill himself?
01:47:17.898 --> 01:47:19.241
Lilacs.
01:47:27.741 --> 01:47:29.414
- Are you laughing?
- Yeah.
01:47:29.743 --> 01:47:31.086
What's so funny?
01:47:32.746 --> 01:47:34.419
I can't smell them.
01:47:40.921 --> 01:47:42.298
What are you doing?
01:47:42.389 --> 01:47:43.866
I'm posting a photo of you
on your Twitter page.
01:47:43.991 --> 01:47:45.265
I have a Twitter page?
01:47:45.326 --> 01:47:47.101
Yeah, I set it up today.
01:47:47.661 --> 01:47:49.072
- Let me see.
- No way.
01:47:49.129 --> 01:47:50.437
No. You look hideous.
01:47:50.664 --> 01:47:52.803
Oh, wow, thank you. I appreciate it.
01:47:52.900 --> 01:47:54.174
I'm just kidding.
01:47:54.435 --> 01:47:56.938
No, I'm actually not.
You-you do look hideous.
01:47:58.272 --> 01:48:01.446
You got 80,000 followers,
in less than a day.
01:48:01.775 --> 01:48:02.747
- Really?
- Yeah.
01:48:03.010 --> 01:48:04.414
I'm gonna scare the shit
out of all of them.
01:48:04.445 --> 01:48:05.515
Let me look at it.
01:48:05.612 --> 01:48:06.613
Mmm-mmm. It's done.
01:48:10.951 --> 01:48:14.525
- Uh, I'm gonna go get a vase, for the flowers.
- OK.
01:49:49.163 --> 01:49:50.230
Move my...
01:50:14.741 --> 01:50:17.085
Bye-bye... and fuck you.
01:51:45.332 --> 01:51:46.333
Dad?
01:51:48.335 --> 01:51:49.507
Dad?
01:51:51.171 --> 01:51:52.241
Dad?
01:51:52.265 --> 01:52:03.265
