[00:11.20]I felt that way once, too.

 

　　[00:14.48]When?

 

　　[00:23.52]The first time you made love to me.

 

　　[00:29.68]April.

 

　　[01:08.00]Frank.

 

　　[01:34.96]- What’s up? - Bart Pollock’s here.

 

　　[01:37.60]He’s in Bandy’s office.

 

　　[01:41.36]Big deal, huh?

 

　　[01:48.00]Looks like he wants to talk to you.

 

　　[01:52.92]Hey, keep my name out of it.

 

　　[02:01.92]Frank. Good to see you. You know Bart Pollock?

 

　　[02:05.60]- Well, we’ve never met, but of course... - Good to know you, Frank.

 

　　[02:09.64]"Speaking of Production Control"?

 

　　[02:15.16]Frank, this is a crackerjack.

 

　　[02:21.60]They are tickled to death in Toledo.

 

　　[02:32.28]Really?

 

　　[02:34.72]So, this guy Pollock was perfect presidential material in the worst sense.

 

　　[02:39.00]A million dollar smile and about three pounds of muscle between the ears.

 

　　[02:43.28]April, you should have heard this guy.

 

　　[02:45.40]"Frank, this is a crackerjack." What a horse’s ass.

 

　　[02:50.00]Wish I’d seen his face when you told him you were leaving.

 

　　[02:54.40]Yeah.

 

　　[03:02.08]Here they come.

 

　　[03:06.56]- Sorry to be late. - You’re not late.

 

　　[03:08.80]- The traffic was terrible. - Thank you. You didn’t have to do that.

 

　　[03:11.40]- Good to see you. - Wasn’t it terrible, Howard?

 

　　[03:13.68]Well, Route 12.

 

　　[03:14.80]By the time they finish that stretch of road,

 

　　[03:16.68]they’ll have to start all over again, right?

 

　　[03:20.28]- And you must be John? - Say hello, John.

 

　　[03:24.72]Nice to meet you. Heard a lot about you.

 

　　[03:29.08]- Where are your darling children? - They’re at a birthday party.

 

　　[03:31.96]- Sorry they couldn’t be here. - Don’t worry.

 

　　[03:34.20]If I had a certified lunatic coming around my house,

 

　　[03:36.52]I’d probably get the kids out of the way, too.

 

　　[03:39.00]Look at all this food. You didn’t have to go to any trouble for us.

 

　　[03:43.24]It’s just some sandwiches.

 

　　[03:44.76]John, would you like a sandwich?

 

　　[03:47.52]Helen’s been talking it up about you people for months.

 

　　[03:50.88]The nice young Wheelers on Revolutionary Road,

 

　　[03:53.60]the nice young Revolutionaries on Wheeler Road.

 

　　[03:58.12]- Would anyone like some sherry? - Please don’t bother, Frank.

 

　　[04:01.68]I’d like some sherry.

 

　　[04:02.96]And I’ll drink Helen’s, too, if she doesn’t beat me to it.

 

　　[04:07.88]But, hey, you got a high-ball glass?

 

　　[04:10.80]Put a couple-three ice cubes in it, pour it up to the brim.

 

　　[04:15.16]- That’s the way I like it. - I think I can handle that.

 

　　[04:23.88]This egg salad is delicious, April. You must tell me how you fix it.

 

　　[04:27.68]- You a lawyer, Frank? - No. No, I’m not.

 

　　[04:30.68]I could use a lawyer.

 

　　[04:32.04]John, let’s not get started again about the lawyer.

 

　　[04:34.72]Pop, couldn’t you just sit there

 

　　[04:35.80]and eat your wonderful egg salad and quit horning in?

 

　　[04:39.88]See, I’ve got a good many questions to ask

 

　　[04:42.44]and I’m willing to pay for the answers.

 

　　[04:44.56]Now, I don’t need to be told that a man who goes after his mother

 

　　[04:47.76]with a coffee table is putting himself in a weak position legally, that’s obvious.

 

　　[04:52.52]John, come and have a look out this fabulous picture window.

 

　　[04:55.16]If he hits her with it and kills her, that’s a criminal case.

 

　　[04:57.56]- Oh, look, the sun’s coming out! - lf all he does is break the coffee table

 

　　[05:00.72]and give her a certain amount of aggravation

 

　　[05:02.60]and she decides to go to court over it, that’s a civil case.

 

　　[05:05.56]Maybe we’ll have a rainbow. John, come have a look.

 

　　[05:08.08]Ma, how about doing everybody a favour? How about shutting up!

 

　　[05:11.48]Settle down, now.

 

　　[05:14.04]Maybe I can look into it, recommend someone. What do you say?

 

　　[05:25.12]So, what do you do, Frank?

 

　　[05:29.20]I work at Knox Business Machines, actually.

 

　　[05:32.32]You design the machines?

 

　　[05:34.04]- Nope. - Make them, sell them, repair them?

 

　　[05:37.16]- All these questions. - I help sell them, I guess.

 

　　[05:40.48]I work in the office. Actually, it’s...

 

　　[05:44.88]Well, it’s sort of a stupid job, really.

 

　　[05:46.44]There’s nothing interesting about it at all.

 

　　[05:50.40]What do you do it for then?

 

　　[05:52.80]Maybe Frank doesn’t like being questioned.

 

　　[05:54.64]Okay, okay, okay. I know it’s none of my business.

 

　　[05:57.68]And besides, I know the answer.

 

　　[06:00.72]You want to play house, you got to have a job.

 

　　[06:03.12]You want to play very nice house, very sweet house,

 

　　[06:06.60]then you’ve got to have a job you don’t like.

 

　　[06:08.96]Anyone comes along and says, "What do you do it for?"

 

　　[06:11.28]He’s probably on a four-hour pass from the state funny farm.

 

　　[06:17.36]- All agreed? Ma? - Sorry, Frank.

 

　　[06:20.88]Don’t be. Don’t be. Actually, John, I agree with everything you just said.

 

　　[06:26.16]We both do. That’s why I’m quitting the job in the fall. We’re taking off.

 

　　[06:30.68]We’re moving to Paris.

 

　　[06:35.64]Did you know about this, Ma?

 

　　[06:39.64]How do you feel about that, Ma? The nice young Wheelers...

 

　　[06:47.44]The nice young Wheelers are taking off.

 

　　[06:58.16]- John, please. - Steady down, Son.

 

　　[07:06.28]John. John. How about some fresh air? What do you say?

 

　　[07:10.60]If that’s all right with you?

 

　　[07:12.40]- I don’t know if it’s such a good idea... - lf John wants to, I don’t see the harm.

 

　　[07:15.96]- Good. - After you.

 

　　[07:22.32]- I hear you’re a mathematician. - You hear wrong. It’s all gone now.

 

　　[07:28.84]All gone?

 

　　[07:30.04]You know what electrical shock treatments are?

 

　　[07:32.92]Yes. Yes, I do.

 

　　[07:34.64]I’ve had 37.

 

　　[07:39.76]Supposed to jolt out the emotional problems.

 

　　[07:42.64]- Just jolted out the mathematics. - How awful.

 

　　[07:47.68]"How awful"? Why, because mathematics is so interesting?

 

　　[07:53.24]No. Because the shocks must be awful and,

 

　　[07:56.40]well, because it’s awful not to be able to do what it is that you want to do.

 

　　[08:00.44]I think mathematics must be dull.

 

　　[08:04.36]I like your girl, Frank.

 

　　[08:06.56]Me, too.

 

　　[08:08.16]So, what do a couple of people like you have to run away from?

 

　　[08:11.36]- We’re not running. - So what’s in Paris?

 

　　[08:13.76]- A different way of life. - Maybe we are running.

 

　　[08:17.44]We’re running from the hopeless emptiness of the whole life here, right?

 

　　[08:21.52]The hopeless emptiness?

 

　　[08:27.36]Now you’ve said it. Plenty of people are on to the emptiness,

 

　　[08:33.52]but it takes real guts to see the hopelessness.

 

　　[08:41.64]Wow.

 

　　[08:56.64]You know, he’s the first person

 

　　[08:59.24]who seemed to know what we were talking about.

 

　　[09:02.12]Yeah. That’s true, isn’t it? Maybe we are just as crazy as he is.

 

　　[09:09.68]If being crazy means living life as if it matters,

 

　　[09:13.20]then I don’t care if we are completely insane.

 

　　[09:18.68]Do you?

 

　　[09:22.72]No.

 

　　[09:25.96]I love you so much.

 

　　[09:38.52]Tell you something, Frank. That Ted Bandy, nice guy.

 

　　[09:41.92]Real sport.

 

　　[09:43.32]Good enough department head and all.

 

　　[09:45.04]But I’m a little sore at him for the way he’s kept you

 

　　[09:47.16]under a bushel all these years.

 

　　[09:49.20]- This place okay for you? - It’s just fine, sir. Just fine.

 

　　[09:53.44]One thing interests me, Frank, and one thing only.

 

　　[09:56.04]Selling the electronic computer to the American businessman.

 

　　[10:00.12]That’s why I’m assembling a team. Men like you.
