무슨 일을 하시죠?

배우 수업중이에요

당신은요?

부두에서 일해요

아니, 제 말은 그러니까...

제 말이 그말이에요

하지만 다음주 월요일부터
좀 더 멋진 일을 할 거에요

어떤 일인데요?

식당 계산원이요

전 직업을 물어본 게 아니라

그러니까

어떤 일에 흥미가 있죠?

만약 그 답을 알고 있다면

더이상 살아갈 의미가 없죠

휴, 드디어 끝났군

다른 배우들도 그렇지만...

저 여자 연기가
정말 실망스러워

오, 프랭크

정말 좋았네, 프랭크

감사합니다, 기빙스 부인

얼마나 재밌었는지 몰라

재능있는 아내를 뒀어

아내에게 전해줄게요

프랭크!

안녕하세요!

저 안에 있어요

난 나갈 준비 다됐는데?

조금만 기다려요!

에이프릴?

자기?

- 안녕
- 어, 안녕

- 나갈 준비 됐어?
- 그럼

화장 좀 지우고

공연이 그렇게...

만족스럽지 않은가봐?

그런 것 같아

금방 준비할게

천천히 해

부탁좀 들어줄래?

밀리하고 쉐프가 같이
나가자고 그랬었는데

안되겠다고 좀 전해줘

유모 때문이든 뭐든 핑계대서

그게, 좀전에 만나서
나가겠다고 말했는데...

그럼 다시 착각했다고
말하면 돼잖아?

간단한 일인데

좀 무례하다고 생각 안해?

그럼 내가 직접 말할게

알았어, 진정해

내가 말할게

진심으로 하는 말인데,
제대로 된 배우는 자기 뿐이었어

고마워

이 멍청한 공연을 하는 게 아니었어

됐어

아마추어들 뿐이잖아

당신은 진짜 전공한 사람이고

이 얘기 그만할래?

알았어

그냥 당신이 기분 상하지
않았으면 좋겠어

그럴 가치도 없는 일이니까

이 사람들하고 한 동네에
사는 것도 짜증나는데

- 뭐라고?
- 알았다고, 됐다고

이 얘기 좀 그만 좀 할래

정말 기분 상하기 전에

뭐하는 거야?

에이프릴

자기야

그럼 이 얘긴 어때

하지 마

이리 와봐

손대지 마

에이프릴

그냥 나 좀 내버려둬!

그래

정말로 엿같은 일들이 있는데

이제 정리를 좀 해야겠어

알았지?

첫 째

연극이 형편없었던 건
내 탓이 아니야

둘 째

당신이 진짜 여배우가 못 되고

이런 쬐끄만 연극이나 하게 된것도

절대로 내 탓이 아냐

셋 째

당신 비위나 맞춰주는
남편 역할 더는 못해먹겠어

교외로 이사온 뒤로
계속 엿같이 굴고 있잖아

이제 질린다고

넷 째

에이프릴

에이프릴!

대체 뭐하는 거야?
차로 돌아가

싫어, 좀 이따가

밖에 좀 있어야 겠어

빌어먹을

에이프릴

그냥 차로 돌아가서
얘기좀 하면 안되겠어?

차도 옆에 서있지 말고

내가 그 얘기 하기 싫다고
분명히 말했잖아

젠장, 난 좋게 대해주려고
노력했다고

친절도 하시지

정말로 더럽게 친절하시군

잠깐,이 건 내 탓이 아니라고

당신은 누구 탓인지 가리는데는
아주 타고났지

기다려

기다려, 젠장

에이프릴, 잘 들어

이 번 한번이야

언제까지고 내 말을
무시한 채 살 순 없다고

한 번은 정리해야 할 일이야

지금 잘못하는 건 내가 아냐

이런, 오늘 밤에
집에 들어오지마

지금 네가 어떤지 알아, 에이프릴?

넌더리가 나

정말 넌더리가 난다고!

당신은 어떤지 알아?

뭐가?

- 역겨워
- 아 그래?

당신은 날 괴롭히지 않지

왜냐하면 날 이 조그만
덫에 가둬놓고

언제든 마음만 먹으면
괴롭힐 수 있을테니까

- 덫! 덫이라고?!
- 그래

세상에!

정말 웃기는군

불쌍한 자식 같으니

당신을 봐

자신을 보고 말해봐

어딜봐서 당신 자신을

남자라고 할 수 있겠어!

젠장!

악, 빌어먹을!

그런 눈으로 보지마

이제 그만 집으로 가도 될까?

레볼루셔너리 로드

데일리 뉴스입니다

데일리 뉴스예요
감사합니다

15층입니다

오전동안 내 척후병 노릇좀
해줘야겠어

밴디 부장님이 이쪽으로
올 때마다 알려주고

만약 내가 토라도 하면
사람들이 못보게 좀 가려줘

아주 안좋아

좋은 아침, 잭

전혀 안좋아

기차에 내리는 걸 본 순간
집을 찾는단 걸 알았죠

개조한 헛간이나
차고가 딸린 집

그런 집은 더이상 없다는
말은 하기 싫었어요

실망시키기 싫었거든요

저 위에 보여드리고
싶은 곳이 있어요

물론 지금 보이는 곳은
그닥 별로죠

보시다시피, 크로포드 로드는

콘크리트 블록에
픽업 트럭이나 있고

배관공, 목수같은
그저 그런 사람들이 사니까요

하지만...

이 길은 레볼루셔너리 로드로 연결되죠

훨씬 좋은 곳이에요

제가 보여 드릴 곳은
작고 예쁜 집이에요

심플하고

좋은 잔디에다, 아이들에게 딱이죠

이 커브만 돌면 바로...

자, 보세요

저기요

작고 하얀 집 보이나요?

예쁘죠?

약간 경사진 데에
잘 자리잡았죠

멋지지 않나요?

오, 그러네요

절 보자셨다구요?

오늘 아침 톨레도에서 자네 앞으로
보낸거야, 이번 달에만 3번째네

죄송합니다, 제가 처리한줄...

더이상 이런 얘기 하기 싫네
알았나?

- 말 그대로 제가 지금 막...
- 여기 시골 사람들은 우릴 우러러본다고

우린 효율적이어야 해
오락가락하면 안된다고

이건 비효율적이야

내말이 맞나?

예

무슨 일이야?

톨레도 지점 때문에

거기 지부장이 녹스 500의
설명서를 수정하고 싶어해

비효율 적이야, 내말이 맞나?
맞나? 맞나?

쫌팽이 같이 구는군

세상에, 난 녹스500이 뭐하는
건지도 모른다고, 자넨 알아?

나한테 묻지 마

SP-1109 아래의
비활성 파일을 보면

여기서 각 지점으로 보낸
모든 사본을 찾을 수 있어요

역으로 원래 소스를
추적할 수도 있고요

점심을 빨리 먹을
생각은 아니죠?

그래요

별로 배 안고파요

좋아요, 이따 보죠

네

그래요

그거 알아요, 모린?

날 만난 건 행운이에요

오? 왜죠?

요령을 알려 줄 수 있거든요

적당히 농땡이 치는 요령이요

정말로요

보여줄게요

웨이터

전화기하고 마티니 두잔이요

클론다이크 55566이요

안녕하세요, 조겐슨 부인

프랭크 윌러 입니다

저기, 모린 그루브 씨가
필요한 일이 있어서

시각 자료 부서로 보냈습니다

오후 내내 있어야
할 것 같습니다

네

당신도요

알아서 하죠

시각 자료부는
처음 들어보는데요

왜냐하면

존재하지 않으니까요

안녕하세요, 헬렌

들어오세요

오래 있지 않을거야

정원에 심을 식물을
주려고 왔어

유럽의 돌나물과 비슷한데

이건 예쁜 노란 꽃을 피워

처음 며칠 동안
물을 조금만 주면 돼

그럼 금방 무성해질거야

고마워요, 헬렌
너무 친절하세요

커피 좀 드실래요?

제가 도울 일이 있나요, 헬렌?

오, 잊을 뻔 했네

조그만 부탁이 있는데...

이건...

아들 존에 관한거야

병원에 있어

오, 이런
괜찮은가요?

그게, 사실...

당분간만 있는거야
플레즌트 브룩에 있어

정신 병원 말이야

오

알겠어요

심각한건 아니야

조금 안좋은 것 뿐이야

언젠가 나아질거야

그렇겠지?

네

물론이죠

아주 좋은 시설이야

치료법도 아들한테 잘 맞고

어쨌든, 밖에서 사람들을
만나는게 도움이 된대

근데 솔직히 내 주변 친구들은
만나 봤자야

그게...내 아들은 아는게 많아

수학 박사 학위도 있어

지적이라고 할 수 있지

자기처럼 젊은 부부를 만나는 게
정말 많은 도움이 될거야

저희야 좋죠

정말?

네

저흰 좋아요

고마워, 자기

고마워

그럼

가봐야겠네

자기가 기차에서 내리는 걸
본 날이 기억나

다른 고객들과는 달랐어

달랐어

특별해 보였어

지금도 특별해

잊지 마

물 조금만 줘

잘 가세요

약간 취한 것 같아요

오늘이 무슨 날인지 알아요?

월요일?

내 생일이에요

오늘부로 31살이죠

생일 축하해요

고마워요

당신이 만들어낸
부서 이름이 뭐였죠?

시각...

시각 자료부

농담도

농담도 참

진짜 농담 들려줘요?

네

내 아버지도 녹스에서 일했어요

그래요?

용커스(뉴욕 교외)에서 세일즈맨으로 일했죠

오

일년에 한번

뉴욕 시내로 데려가
점심을 사주셨죠

그날은 아주 특별한 날이었어요
인생의 조언 같은 걸 해주셨죠

좋았겠네요

아뇨

아니었어요

자리에 앉아서 생각했어요

아버지처럼 되진 않을거야

근데 지금 난

서른살 먹은 녹스 직원이죠

무슨 말인지 알아요?

잘 못 들었어요

아버지께서 녹스 직원이었다고요?

미안해요, 취해서

집중이 안돼요

바람좀 쐴래요?

둘이?

이게 당신이에요?

네

파리에 가봤어요?

밖으론 나가본 적이 없어요

그럼 언제 한번 같이 가죠

기회가 되면 바로 갈거에요

거긴 사람들이 살아있어요

내가 아는건 오로지

내가 뭔가 느끼고 싶다는 거에요

정말로 느끼고 싶어요

이런 것도 열망이라고
할 수 있을까요?

프랭크 윌러

당신은 내가 만나본 중
가장 흥미로운 사람이에요

오늘 아침 출근할 땐
이런 일이 있을 줄 몰랐죠?

네, 몰랐어요

담배 있어요, 프랭크?

네, 그럼요

여기요

마실 것 좀 줄까요?

괜찮아요, 모린

좀 늦었어요

빨리 나가봐야겠어요

오, 이런

그렇군요

열차 놓쳤나요?

괜찮아요

다음 거 타면 돼요

들어봐요

당신 끝내줬어요

쉬어요

프랭크

옷은 왜 차려 입었어?

무엇보다

하루종일 보고싶었어

그리고 사과하고 싶어

연극 때문에 못되게 군 거 미안해

모두 다 미안해

그리고 사랑해

평생동안

그럼 이제

내가 부를 때까지
여기서 기다려,알았지?

알았어

됐어, 프랭크

이제 들어와도 돼

생일 축하합니다

사랑하는 우리 아빠

생일 축하합니다

생일 축하해, 여보

아빠 사랑해

나도 사랑해

프랭크

아주 멋진 아이디어가 떠올랐어

하루종일 그 생각만 했어

여보, 이게 다 뭐야?

우리가 저금한 돈이
얼만줄 알아?

당신이 일 안해도
6개월은 살 수 있어

거기에 집하고 차도 팔면...

집 팔아서 뭐?

여보, 무슨 얘기 하는거야?

집팔고 어디서 살아?

파리

뭐?

당신이 항상 그랬잖아

거기로 돌아가고 싶다고

사람이 살 수 있는 데라고

못 갈게 뭐야?

진심이야?

그래

우릴 막는 게 뭐야?

우릴 막는게 뭐냐고?

수 없이 많지

예를 들어, 가서 직장은
어떻게 얻어?

당신은 취직할 필요 없어

내가 일할거니까

오, 그래
그래

비웃지마

들어봐

유럽에서 정부 비서관들에게
얼마나 주는 지 알아?

나야 모르지

들어봐 프랭크
난 진심이야

- 내가 농담하는 걸로 보여?
- 알았어

궁금한 게 몇가지
있을 뿐이야

한 예로, 당신이 일하는 동안
난 뭐해?

모르겠어?

그게 바로 핵심이야

당신이 7년전에 했어야
할 일을 하는거야

당신의 시간을 갖는거야

태어나서 처음으로 당신이
진짜로 원하는 걸 찾는거야

그걸 찾아내면

그 일을 시작하면 돼

여보

그건 현실적이지 못해

아냐, 프랭크

지금 상황이 비현실적이야

건강한 마음을 가진 남자가

맞지도 않는 일을 하고

견디기 힘든 집으로 오고

견디기 힘든 아내와 있는 게
비현실적인 거야

진짜 최악인 건 뭔 줄 알아?

우리 모든 존재는 원래
특별하다는 거야

그 무엇보다 우월하다구

현실은 그렇지 못해

그저 남들과 똑같아

우릴 봐, 모두 바보같은
착각에 빠져있어

운명에 순응하고

애들이나 잘 키워야
된다는 착각

그 것 때문에
서로를 힘들게 해

들어봐

여기로 이사 온건
우리의 결정이었어

아무도 나한테 녹스에
들어가라고 강요하지 않았어

내가 꼭 성공해야 될
이유는 없잖아?

처음 당신을 만났을때

세상에 당신이
못할 일은 없었어

그 때 난 그저 떠벌이였어

그렇지 않아

어떻게 그렇게 말해?

알았어

그래, 그럼

내 시간을 갖게 되겠지

당신 말이 맞을지도 몰라

정말 맞을지도

다 말이 되잖아

내게 숨겨진 재능만
있다면 말이야

들어봐

지금 당신 숨막히게 살고 있잖아

당신 자신을
부정하고 부정하며

그렇게 살잖아

그래서...?

모르겠어?

당신은 세상에서

가장 멋지고 아름다워

당신은 위대해

이건 기회야, 프랭크

이건 기회라구

알았어

알았어?

안 될게 뭐야

대체 안될 게 뭐냐구

좋은 아침

좋은 아침, 프랭크

프랭크, 네 밝은 얼굴을
보니 좋네

무슨 일이야

친구들

나 파리로 이사간다네

그렇군
난 탕헤르로 가는데

사내 회선으로 톨레도에 알립니다

주목해주세요

B.F.찰머스 지점장님

최근의 반복된
요청에 따라

그 문제가 만족스럽게
해결 됐음을 알려드립니다

기존의 설명서가
부적합함을 인정하며

따라서 다음과 같이
수정하길 바랍니다

"제품 사용법 완벽해부..."

여깄습니다, 윌러 부인

요청하신 여행자 수표입니다

그리고 선박 예약한 것도요

이건 대사관 통행증입니다

행운을 빌어요

감사합니다

가을에 나갈거야

자신이 진짜로 원하는 일을 해야
행복할 거란 생각이 들었어

그렇지, 그렇지

그럼, 자네에게 맞는 천직이
있다고 치자구

여기서도 그걸 찾을 수
있지 않을까?

난 녹스 빌딩 15층에서는

아무것도 못 찾을거라 생각해

너희도 마찬가지일거야

아빠, 아빠, 아빠

아빠?

마이클

아빠, 그거 읽어줄래요?

그럼

바로... 여기로 갈거야

큰 배를 타고 바다를 건널거야

거기 아는 애도 없는데

알고 있단다

엄마도 없어

처음 입학한 날 기억하니?

지금은 친구가 많잖아

파리에서 어떤 걸 먹는지
상상도 못할걸

상상도 못해

- 뭔데요?
- 뭔데요?

끈적한 달팽이

달팽이?

달팽이 하고 개구리 다리

밀리?

어디 있어?

옷 갈아 입어
곧 올거야

그 옷 뭐야?

맘에 안들어?

아니

아주 멋져

서둘러야겠네

얘들아

뭐 보니?

쉐프?

계속 불렀는데...

안녕하세요

음식이요

좀 준비해봤어

오, 대단한데
배고팠어

에이프릴

궁금해 못참겠어

얼굴이 활짝폈는데

말해 줄 거 없어?

살짝 이라도?

그게 밀리, 우리가

중요한 소식이 있어요

알았어요

여보, 말해주지 그래?

우리 유럽 가

파리로

거기 살려고

뭐?

언제?

9월에

왜?

왜냐고요?
음...

그러니까

항상 그러고 싶었으니까
애들 나이도 적당하고

정말 아름다운 곳이잖아요

쉐프, 자네도 가봤잖아
말 좀 해봐

그래, 멋진 도시지

그래

언제 결정한거야?

일주일 전 쯤?
기억이 잘 안나

그냥 갑작스럽게 정했어

일주일 전에 했는데
이제야 말해주는군

우리도 아직 정리가
안되서 말이야

어떻게 된거야, 프랭크?
거기서 직장이라도 얻었어?

아니

그렇진 않아

그렇진 않다니?

프랭크는 일 안할거에요

내가 할거니까

자넨 뭐하고, 프랭크?

글쎄, 공부좀 하고

독서도 하고...

결국은 내가 뭘 하고 싶은지
알게 되겠지

그 동안 에이프릴이
뒷바라지 하고?

그래

뒷바라지 해야 겠지

초기에는 말이야

정부 비서 일하면서 얼마나
받는지 상상도 못할거에요

NATO나 E.C.A같은 데 말이에요

생활비도 아주 적게 들지, 그렇지?

아주 적게 들어

우린 뭔가 변화가 필요해

이렇게 인생을
그냥 보낼 순 없어

맞는 말이야

정말 좋은 생각인 것 같아

진심이야

정말 멋진 생각이야

고마워요, 밀리
고마워

정말 보고 싶을 거야,
그렇지 여보?

그럼

우리도 보고 싶을 거야

물론이지

건배라도 해야겠는데?

파리를 위하여

위하여

- 건배
- 건배

내가 볼 땐 말이야

뭐가?

좀 성급한 계획인 것 같아

휴, 정말 다행이야

나도 그래

계속 그렇게 생각했어

대체 어떤 남편이
아내가 일하는 동안

하루종일 잠옷만 입고
코나 후비고 앉아있겠어?

그러게 말이야

왜 울어?

무슨 일이야?

암 것도 아냐

그냥 좀 안심이 돼서

쉐프

울지 마

괜찮아

다 괜찮을거야

알았어

세상에, 그 표정 봤어?

세상에

내 기분이 어떤지 알아?
솔직히 말해서...

이렇게 당당히 얘기하는게

유럽에 가겠다고 얘기하는 게

전쟁에서 처음 전선에
투입됐을 때의 느낌이야

그 때 다른 사람들처럼
나도 겁이 났지만

내 마음은 어느때보다 좋았어

마치

살아 있는 느낌이었어
생기로 충만한 느낌

마치

모든 게

모든게 더 리얼하게 다가왔어
제복입은 군인들

들판의 눈, 나무들

모든게 리얼했어

물론 겁은 났지만

계속 생각했어
"바로 이거야"

"이게 진짜야"

나도 그런 적 있어

언제?

처음 당신과 사랑을 나눴을 때

무슨 일이야?

바트 폴락이 왔어

밴디 부장님 사무실에 있어

거물이지

자네와 얘기하고
싶으신가 본데

친구

내 이름은 꺼내지 마

프랭크

반갑군

바트 폴락씨 알지?

만난 적은 없지만...

- 물론 알죠
- 반갑네, 프랭크

제품 사용법 완벽 해부?

프랭크

이건 정말 대박이야

톨레도 지점은
기뻐 죽을 지경이야

정말요?

폴락이라는 인간은 정말
보는 눈이 최악인 사장이야

귀 사이의 얇팍한 근육으로
미소나 지을 줄 알지

에이프릴, 당신도
들었어야 해

"프랭크, 이건 정말 대박이야"

아주 웃기고 있네

당신이 그만 둔다고 했을 때
그 사람 표정을 봤어야 하는건데

그러게

오셨네

- 늦어서 미안해
- 안 늦으셨어요

차가 너무 막혀서

반갑네

차가 많이 막혔죠, 하워드?

12번 국도라서

차가 꽉 막혀서 앞으로
갈 생각을 안하죠, 그렇지?

당신이 존이군요?

인사 하렴, 존

만나서 반갑습니다

얘기 많이 들었어요

애들은 어디 있어?

생일 파티에 갔어요

애들이 없어서 죄송해요

걱정 말아요, 나라도 우리집에
정신질환자가 오면

애들을 밖에 내보낼테니까요

이 음식좀 봐

우리 때문에 이렇게까지
애쓸 필욘 없는데

그냥 샌드위치 좀 했어요

존, 샌드위치 좀 먹을래?

엄마가 두 분 얘길 많이 했어요

레볼루셔너리 로드에
젊은 윌러부부가 있다고도 하고

윌러 로드에 레볼루셔너리 부부가
있다고도 하고 말이에요

포도주 드실분?

신경 쓰지 마요, 프랭크

전 마시고 싶어요

엄마 것도 내가 마시죠

엄마가 말리지만 않으면요

저기, 하이볼 잔 있나요?

얼음 두세개 넣고

끝까지 가득 채워주세요

그렇게 먹는 거 좋아하거든요

그렇게 해드리죠

이 달걀 샐러드 맛있네, 에이프릴

비법 좀 알려줘

변호사인가요, 프랭크?

아뇨

아니에요

변호사면 좋았을텐데

존, 변호사 얘긴 말자꾸나

아빠, 그냥 거기 앉아서
맛난 샐러드나 드시지 그래요

끼어 들지 마시고요

저기

물어 볼 게 많아요

대답하시면 보답할 용의도 있어요

이제 엄마 차마시는데 따라다니는

약한 남자라는 소린
안들어도 되겠죠

존, 이리와서 전망 좋은
유리창 좀 보렴

만약 남편이 그걸로 부인을
때려죽이면, 그건 형사사건이죠

보렴, 해가 보이는구나

만약 남편이 테이블을 부숴서
부인을 위협했을 뿐이고

부인이 소송을 걸었다면
그건 민사사건이죠

무지개가 생길 것 같구나

- 존, 와서 보렴
- 엄마, 모두를 위해서

그만 조용히 좀 해요

진정해라

제가 알아 볼 수 있어요

변호사를 소개하죠,
어때요?

그럼

무슨 일을 하시죠, 프랭크?

녹스라는 사무기계
회사에서 일해요

기계 설계를 하나요?

아뇨

만들고, 팔고, 수리하고?

그냥 묻는 거에요

판매를 돕죠

사무실에서 일해요

사실, 이 일은...

좀 바보같은 일이죠

전혀 흥미롭지가 않아요

그럼 왜 하죠?

그런 질문은 예의에...

알았어요, 알았어

그건 제가 알 바 아니에요

게다가

이미 대답도 알아요

이런 소꿉놀이를 하려면
직업이 필요하죠

아주 좋은 집을 가지려면

아주 예쁜 집을 가지려면

원치도 않는 일을 해야겠죠

세상물정 모르는
촌뜨기가 아니고서야

"그런 일을 왜 하죠"라는
질문을 할 리가 없죠

다들 동의하나요?

엄마?

미안하네, 프랭크

미안할 거 없어요

그러지 마세요

존, 사실 당신 얘기에
모두 동감이에요

그래서 가을에 직장을
그만 두려고요

우린 떠날거예요

파리로 이사가요

엄마도 알고 있었어요?

어떻게 생각해요?

친절한 윌러부부

그 젊고 친절한 윌러부부가

떠난대요

존, 그만

진정해라, 아들아

존

존!

바람 좀 쐬는게 어때요?

괜찮겠죠?

좋은 생각인지 모르겠는데

존이 원한다면
괜찮을거야

갈까요?

수학자라고 들었어요

잘못 들으셨네요

다 날아갔어요

날아가요?

전기 충격요법 알아요?

네, 알아요

37번 받았어요

정서 장애를 치료하려 했는데

수학 지식만 날아갔죠

끔찍해라

끔찍하다...

왜죠?

흥미로운 수학이 날아가서요?

아뇨, 전기 충격이 끔찍해서요

어떤 결과가 나올지 모르니
끔찍하죠

수학은 따분해요

당신 여자 마음에 들어요,
프랭크

나도에요

음, 당신 부부는 무엇으로부터
도망치는 거죠?

도망치는거 아녜요

파리엔 뭐가 있는데요?

새로운 삶이요

도망치는 걸지도 모르죠

절망적이고 공허한
삶으로부터요, 그렇지?

절망적이고 공허한?

드디어 그 말을 하는군요

수많은 사람들이
공허함 속에 살죠

하지만 절망을 보려면
진짜 용기가 필요해요

와우

있잖아

우릴 이해하는 사람은
그가 처음이었어

음..

그렇지

우리도 존처럼 미친걸지도

'미쳤다'는 게
제대로 된 삶을 사는거면

난 미쳐도 상관없어

당신은?

나도

정말 사랑해

말해 줄게 있네, 프랭크

밴디 부장말이야

좋은 사람이지

재미도 있고

부장일도 잘하고

근데 자네같은 사람을
3년이나 썩히다니

여기 괜찮나?

아주 좋습니다

난 오로지 한 일에만
관심이 있네

미국 사업가들에게
컴퓨터를 파는거지

그래서 팀을 꾸리고 있어

자네같은 친구들로

보통 세일즈맨과는 달라

더 많은 돈을 벌거야

솔직히 말해
일도 더 많이 하겠지만

그래도 정말 흥분되는
일을 하는거네, 윌러

컴퓨터라고

사장님 그게...

흥미롭네요

바트라고 하게

바트...

바트, 하나만 물을게요

얼 윌러라는 사람
기억하세요?

용커스의?

글쎄

자네 친척인가?

제 아버지입니다

녹스에서 세일즈맨으로
20년간 일하셨죠

얼 윌러...

기억하실 리 없죠

분명 좋은 분이셨을거네

바트, 드릴 말씀이

미리 했어야 할 말이 있어요

가을에 회사 그만둘겁니다

다른 회사로 가나?

아뇨, 옮기는 건 아니에요

이봐, 프랭크

돈 문제인가?

돈 문제라면
내가 도움을...

감사합니다만, 아닙니다

돈이 아니에요

이건 그보다

좀 사적인 일입니다

이해해주세요

사적인 일?

알았네

프랭크, 내 아버지께서
말씀하셨네

인생에 찾아오는 기회는
딱 두번이야

그걸 잡지 못하면,
영영 방황하게 돼버리지

그렇군요

그러니, 이것만 들어주게

잘 생각해봐

부인과 잘 상의해봐

솔직히 말해 우리가
부인말고 기댈 데가 어딨나?

프랭크, 진심으로 말하는건데
우리와 함께 한다면

절대 후회 안 할거네

하나 더 있지

돌아가신 자네 아버지께도
좋은 선물이 될거야

잘 생각해보게

정말 잘 생각해

어떤 걸 가지고 있는지 알고

콤마

무엇이 필요한 지 알고

콤마

무엇이 불필요한지 아는 것

대쉬

이것이 재고 관리다

(어떤 걸 가지고 있는지 알고)

(콤마)

(무엇이 필요한 지 알고)

(콤마)

(무엇이 불필요한지 아는 것)

(대쉬)

(이것이 재고 관리다)

늦게까지 일하네요

네

(오늘은 여기 박혀 있어야겠다)

승진 하셨다면서요

잘 됐네요

아버지께서 정말
자랑스러워 하시겠어요

네, 아마도요

제가 술이라도 한 잔
사야하는거 아닌가요?

그 왜

축하주요

그러세요

짐 좀 챙길게요

내 인형 상자 가져갈거야

부활절 토끼 세 개랑

기린이랑

인형 전부에다 인형 집도

인형 집은 메들린에게
주는 게 어떠니

메들린한테 주기 싫어

말했잖아, 큰 물건들은
짐 싸기 힘들다고

곰 인형은 넣을 수 있잖아

- 부활절 토끼들도...
- 안돼, 중요한 물건들만

나가서 마이클이랑
놀지 그러니

그럴 기분 아냐

- 종일 집에만 있었잖아
- 그럴 기분 아니라구

엄마도 말 안듣는 애한테

똑같은말 15번씩 할
기분 아니야

에이프릴, 뭐가 문제야?

암 것도

못 믿겠는데
아침에 뭔 일 있었어?

모르고 있었을 뿐이지
오래 된 일이야

뭘?

제발, 프랭크
바보같이 굴지마

정말 아예 모르겠어?

에이프릴, 대체 무슨 얘기야

임신했어, 그 게 다야

뭐?

프랭크, 정말로
임신이 아니길 바랬어

난 그저...

임신인 것 같다고 생각하다가
오늘 의사한테 갔다왔어

더 이상은 이 사실을
피할 수가 없어

이런... 얼마나 됐는데?

10주

10주?

10주나 됐는데
이제야 말해주는거야?

나도 내가 무슨
생각이었는지 모르겠어

미안해, 프랭크

정말 미안해

알았어, 이제 알았어

됐지?

여러 방법이 있어

꼭 파리 가는 걸 중단할
필욘 없어, 그렇지?

그 임신한 여학생 얘기
기억해?

12주 안에만 수술하면
괜찮아

함께 결정해야돼, 프랭크

그럼

같이 생각해보자

알았지?

이리 와

12주 안이라... 그럼

생각할 시간은 있는거네?

맞아

사랑해

나도 사랑해

잡았다, 마이클

프랭크, 직장은 어때?

자네 없어도 굴러갈까?

사실 좀 웃긴 일이 있었어

회사 때려칠 생각으로
대충 한 일이 있었는데

그런데

갑자기 능력있는 인재가
돼버렸어

세상 일이 그렇지 뭐

믿기질 않아

몇분만에 후딱 해치운
일이었는데

나보고 스페셜 팀에
들어오라니

바보들이지

거액의 연봉만 아니었으면
그냥 웃고 넘겼을텐데

그래서 끌려?

글쎄

그냥 좀 아이러니 하지않아?

거절한 줄 알았는데

아직 안했어

그냥 생각 좀 해보게
그 뿐이야

그들이 약속한 돈이면
여기서도 다르게 살 수 있어

더 좋은 데에서 살 수 있다구

여행도 하고

요점은, 여기서도
행복해질 수 있다는 거야

꼭 파리 사람들만
즐거운 삶을 살거라는

그런 보장도 없잖아

그래서, 결정한거야?

아니

아냐

말했듯이, 그냥
생각중이야

그 뿐이야

당신 말이 맞다고 쳐

그 많은 돈을 받고

여기서 즐겁게 살 수 있겠지

그렇다해도 여전히
당신이 싫어하는 일을 하면서

삶을 낭비하는 거잖아?

그냥 내 천직으로 삼으면 돼지

안 그래?

천직?

더워서 얘기 못하겠어

물에 좀 들어가야지

가기 싫은거지?

당연히 가고싶지

아니잖아

당신은 진심으로 무슨 일을
해본 적이 없어

시도하지 않으면

실패도 안할테니까

그게 대체 무슨 말이야?

내가 먹여 살리잖아
이 집도 내가 샀다고

맞지도 않는 일을
하루에 10시간씩 한다고

그럴 필요 없어!

젠장

나도 힘들어

하지만 내 의무로부터
도망치지 않는 용기는 있어

당신이 원하는 삶을 사는데도
용기가 필요해

- 어디 가는 거야?
- 당신만 괜찮다면

화장실좀 쓰도록 할게

알았지?

(낙태기구)

이걸로 뭐하려고 그랬어?

당신은 어쩔건데?

- 날 막을거야?
- 그래! 막을거야

어디 해봐

잘 들어
이거 하면

이 걸 하면 맹세컨데

어쩔 건데?
날 떠날거야?

협박이야?

언제 산거야, 얼마나 됐어?
말해봐!

세상에, 당신은 이 것에 대해
너무 감정적이야

임신 12주 안에만 하면
확실히 안전하다구

그 게 지금이잖아
나도 안다고

당신도 알지 그럼

당신을 위한 일이야,
모르겠어?

전에 말했듯이
당신 시간을 갖기 위해

이걸 생각만 해도 속이 뒤집히는데
뭐가 날 위한 거야?

그럼 날 위해서...

파리에 가서 애를
낳게 해줘

여기가 아닌 파리에서
새 삶을 살거라고 말해줘

파리 가서는
애 키울 형편이 안돼

어째서?

여기 있는 것들
다 필요없어

어디서 살든 상관없어

왜 꼭 여기여야 하는거야?

우리가 교외로 이사 온 건

어쩌다 첫 째를 임신해서 였어

첫 아이가 실수라는게 싫어서
둘 째도 낳았어

언제 까지 이런 식일 거야?

프랭크?

정말로 아일 원하긴 해?

정말로?

자

말해봐

진실을 말해, 프랭크

기억해?

예전엔 서로에게
진실되게 살았었잖아

진실의 좋은 점이
뭔 지 알아?

아무리 오래 거짓되게 살았어도
진실은 잊혀지지 않는단 거야

진실은 잊혀지지 않는다고

그저 사람들이 거짓말을
더 잘하게 될 뿐이야

그러니 말해봐

이 아이를 원해?

난 내 감정밖에 모르겠어

그리고 정신이 제대로 박힌
사람이라면

나랑 똑같이 느낄거야

난 벌써 애가 둘이나 있어

이제 좀 내 뜻대로 하면 안돼?

네 그 사고방식이
문제야

애를 갖는 걸 무슨
벌 받는 것처럼 얘기하잖아

난 내 아이들을 사랑해

정말 그렇게 생각해?

그게 대체 무슨 말이야?

에이프릴

당신 좀전에
우리 딸이 실수라고 말했어

혹시 첫 째랑 둘 째도
지우려 했던 거 아냐?

아냐

우리 가족들을 변기에 버리려
했었을지 어떻게 아냐고!

그렇지 않아!

당연히 안 그랬어

내가 어떻게 알아?

제발 그만

제발 그만해, 프랭크

에이프릴

정상적인 여자, 정상적인 엄마는

자기가 새 삶을 살려고

이딴 낙태 기구 같은거
사지 않아!

환상에 사로잡혀서 말이야!

들어봐

당신은 지금 전혀
이성적이지 못해

당신을 바로잡아 줄
사람을 찾아봐야 겠어

그러려면 당신이
새 일을 시작해야돼고?

에이프릴

정신과에 가려면
돈이 필요해

분명히 말이야

알았어

더 할 말은 없는거지?

그럼 파리 일은
그저 유치한 생각이었네

아마도

에이프릴

여기서도 행복할 수 있어

행복하게 해줄게

요 몇달 정말 잘 지냈잖아

그대로 지내면 돼

다 괜찮을거야

약속할게

나도 그랬음 좋겠어

정말로 그랬으면 해

기다려 주셔서 감사합니다
이제 들어가셔도 됩니다

감사합니다

(바트 폴락 사무실)

애가 생기는 바람에
못가게 되다니

유감이라고는 못하겠는데

아마 자네 자리가
몹시도 그리웠을 거야

장담해

자네 없으니 허전하더군

게다가...

뭐...

뭐?

그 계획은 언제봐도
비현실적이었어

그렇게 생각안해?

물론 나랑은
상관 없는 일이지만

그래, 그래

자네랑은 상관없지

그래..

유럽의 비서 준비생들은
좋아하겠군

처음 우릴 데려온 날 기억해요?

물론이죠

여기 통나무집만의
색다른 맛이 있다 그랬죠

그랬지,
정말 더럽게 좋았어!

맞아

나 좀 봐봐

너무 행복해

말썽쟁이들이 곁으로
돌아오다니

밴드 연주가 어떻습니까?
오늘 끝내주지 않습니까?

유럽이 어디로 도망가진 않아

맞아

에이프릴, 여보

춤 출까?

지금은 좀 그래

- 나중에
- 난 출래요

에이프릴이 파리 때문에
아직도 우울한가봐요?

- 괜찮아질까요?
- 당연하죠

여자들은 며칠만 있음
금방 이겨낸다구요

그래요

오, 프랭크

프랭크

프랭크..

괜찮아?

괜찮아, 밀리?

오, 미안해요

프랭크, 잠깐만요

오, 장난아니군

이걸 어떻게 빠져나간다?

오, 이런

걱정 마, 쉐프
기다릴게

집에 유모 있어

당신 먼저 집에 가면서
밀리좀 데려다 줘

그래야 유모들도 집에 가니까
난 이따 쉐프와 갈게

그래,
난 좋아

알았어 그럼

당신도

당신도 괜찮겠지?

물론

알았어

- 굿 나잇
- 굿 나잇

좀 낫네

못 가게 돼서 유감이에요

의미가 컸을텐데

오해말고 들어요

나도 거기 가봤는데

여기랑 별 다를거 없어요

꼭 파리일 필요는 없어요

그럼 그저..

밖으로 나가고 싶었군요?

안에 있고 싶었어요

난 그저...

다시 제대로 살고 싶었어요

몇년 동안 난
프랭크도 나처럼

멋진 삶을 기대하는 줄 알았죠

정확히 어떤 식일지는 모르지만

그저 그 가능성에 매달렸어요

정말 비참하죠?

아주 멍청했어

모든 희망을...

이뤄지지도 않을 일에 걸다니

프랭크는 그가 뭘
원하는지 알아요

자기 자리를 찾았어요
그는 괜찮다고요

결혼했고, 두 아이도 있고

그정도면 충분하죠

그에겐 말이에요

그가 옳았어요

우린 전혀 특별한
존재가 아니었어요

아니, 특별해요

당신 부부는

바로 그 윌러부부잖아요

정말 멋진 커플이라구요

다들 그렇게 말해요

난 우리 미래를 꿈꿨어요

그 꿈을 멈출 수 없어요

떠날 수도 없고

머물 수도 없어요

아무 짝에 쓸모없는 꿈이죠

자

춤추죠

다른 데로 가요

아니, 그냥

여기서 해요

지금

에이프릴

항상 이걸 원했어요

사랑해요

그런말 마요

아니, 진심이에요

사랑해요

제발, 그냥

좀만 조용히 있어요

그리고 집에 데려다줘요

날씨가 끝내줘

그래 맞아

오늘이 무슨 날인지 알아?

12주차 되는 날이야

맞아

있잖아

올 여름은 정말 힘들었어

둘다 스트레스를 많이 받았고

그러니까 당신 화난거 이해해

당신이랑 같이 안자는
이유가 궁금한거야?

미안하지만, 프랭크

이 얘기 할 기분이 아냐

그래, 그럼 무슨 얘길 할까?

아무 얘기도 안하면 안될까?

그냥 하루하루를 열심히
살아가면 되는거지

꼭 모든 걸 이야기 할
필요는 없잖아

모든 걸 다 얘기하자는
말이 아니잖아

봐

내 말뜻은, 우리 둘다
스트레스를 많이 받았으니까

지금부터 서로를 최대한
도우며 살자는 거야

아무도 모르겠지만
요새 내 행동이

많이 이상했었어

사실 당신에게
할 말이 있어

어떤 여자를
몇 번 만났어

시내에서

잘 알지도 못하는 여자를

아무 의미도 없었어

어쨌든

지금은 끝났어

정말 끝났어

끝난 게 아니라면
당신한테 말하지도 않았을거야

왜 그래?

여보, 나도 모르겠어

내생각에 난 그저

당신과 낙태 문제로 싸우고
남성의 역할을 하고 싶었나봐

남성적인 걸 증명하고 싶은
비이성적인 그런 거 때문에

아니

왜 바람을 폈느냐가 아니라

나한테 왜 그 얘길 하는 거야?

무슨 뜻이야?

진짜 이유가 뭐냐는 거야

나한테 질투심 같은 걸
유발 시키려고?

당신을 사랑하게 만들어서

다시 같이 자려고?

내가 뭐라고 했음 좋겠어?

당신 기분이 어떤데?

아무렇지도 않아

그 말인 즉,
내가 무슨 일을 하던

누구랑 자던
상관 없단 거야?

어

그런 것 같아
상관없어

맘대로 해

에이프릴

내가 당신 관심 받고
싶어하는걸 모르겠어?

알아

알고 있어

당신을 사랑한다면
그렇게 하겠지

하지만 그렇지 않다는걸
막 깨달았어

그래서 당신과 아무 얘기도
안하려는 거야

그딴 거짓말 하지마, 에이프릴

거짓말 마

날 사랑한다는 거
당신이 잘 알잖아

- 그렇게 생각해?
- 자신이 더 잘 알잖아!

아무도 없어요?

죄송해요
저녁이 좀 늦었죠

차 더 드실 분?

Oh, don뭪 worry.

It뭩 nice just to sit for a bit
and socialize...

You shouldn't go through
all this trouble.

Now you're packing
and what not.

Imagine how long you were on the plate.

No pan intended.

사실, 계획이 좀 바뀌었어요

여기 남을 것 같아요

에이프릴이 임신을 했거든요

- 오
- 축하하네

오, 에이프릴
너무 기쁘구나

더 큰 집이
필요하겠는데?

- 안그래?
- 잠깐만요, 엄마

잠깐만요, 엄마
난 이해가 안가요

그러니까

왜 남는다는 거죠?

그러니까

그래요, 임신했어요
그래서 뭐요?

유럽에선 애를 안 낳나요?

파리에 가게 되면

아이를 감당할 형편이
안되기 때문이에요

알았어요

돈이 문제군요

돈도 중요한 이유죠

하지만

진짜 이유일 순 없어요

진짜 이유가 뭐죠?

부인이 그만두자 그랬나요?

소심한 부인이 이 소꿉놀이를
못 끝내겠다던가요?

아니, 그건 아닌것 같군요

아주 터프해 보여요

그만 둘 리가 없어요

자, 그럼

당신 때문이겠군요

- 무슨 일이죠?
- 존, 그만. 너무 무례...

아뇨

무슨 일이죠, 프랭크?

겁이 나던가요?

여기 있는게 나을거라
결정했나요?

결국...

그냥...

이 절망과 허무함이 더
편할 거라 생각했나요?

와, 맞췄군요

이 표정좀 봐요

왜그러죠?
열불이 나나요?

됐다, 아들아
이제 그만 가보는게...

그거 알아요?

임신을 핑계로
그 뒤에 숨으려고

일부러 임신시킨 걸지도
모를일이죠

그럼 자신이 어떤 인간인지
알 필요가 없어질테니까

잘 들어!

그정도면 충분한 것 같은데

니가 대체 뭐라고 생각해?

니 머릿속에 떠오르는
아무 미친 생각들이나 나불대지

이제 그 빌어먹을 입 좀
닥쳐야 할 것 같은데 말이야

- 얜 아파, 프랭크
- 아프고 나발이고!

아프건 말건
눈꼽만큼도 관심없어!

정신병원에 쳐박혀서

그 망할 입좀 다물고 있으라고!

가자, 아들아

어서, 존

대단한 남편을 뒀군요,
에이프릴

대단한 남편이요

당신이 안됐어요

아니 어쩌면

어쩌면 둘 다
안된건지도 모르겠군요

이렇게 강한 당신모습을 보면
그도 참 안된 것 같아요

남편이 매우 힘들었겠어요

불알 두 짝을
증명하는 방법이

당신을 임신시키는 것 밖에
없었을테니까요

- 너 이.. 개..!
- 안돼!

얜 아파, 프랭크!

그럼, 존

나가서 차에 타거라

에이프릴, 미안해

정말로 미안해

오, 그래요!

미안해

미안해!

엄마?
얼마나 더 미안해야겠어요!?

젠장!

나도 미안해요

내가 망할놈이죠

하지만, 따지고 보면
완전 제 탓도 아니잖아요

아닌가요?

오, 근데

그거 알아요?

정말 다행인 게 있어요

그게 뭔줄 알아요?

내가 그 뱃속 아이가
아니라서 천만다행이에요

알았어

알았으니까 말하지 마

내가 맞춰볼 테니까

내가 아주 역겨운 광경을
연출했지

맞아?

맞아

그 놈 말이 맞다고
하려던 거 아니었어?

말 할 필요가 없겠네

당신이 이미 말했으니까

하지만 당신은 틀렸어,
에이프릴

정말?

내가 왜 틀린건데?

그 놈은 미쳤으니까

정신이 나갔다고!

미쳤다는 게 무슨 뜻인지 알아?

몰라!

- 당신은 알아?
- 그래!

인간관계에 '무능력'한거야

사랑에도 '무능력'하다고

에이프릴

에이프릴!

무...

'무능력' 이라고...

오, 프랭크

당신은 정말 달변가야

당신이라면 까만색도
하얀색이라 믿게 할수 있을거야

난 당신을 사랑하지 않으니까
미친거겠군

그래? 그런 뜻이야?

아냐
틀려

당신은 안 미쳤고
날 사랑해

그런 말이야, 에이프릴

하지만
그렇지 않아

당신이 싫어

이제 내게 있어
당신은 아무 의미도 없어

당신을 밀쳐낼거야

나한테 가까이 다가오거나

내게 손대거나 한다면

비명 지를거야

제발, 그만해 에이프릴

빌어먹을! 에이프릴!

당신의 그 빌어먹을...

어쩔건데!

날 칠거야?

그렇게 해서
당신 사랑을 증명하려고?

걱정마, 그럴 일 없으니까!

당신은 때릴 가치도 없어

날려버릴 가치도 없다고

당신은 그저

속 빈 껍데기 일 뿐이야

내가 그렇게 싫으면서
내 집엔 왜 있는거야?!

대체 나랑 결혼은 왜 한거야?!

내 애들은 대체
왜 키우는거야?!

기회가 있을때
그 애도 지워버리지 그랬어!

왜냐 하면

왜냐하면 말이야

내가 그 아일 원했으니까!

에이프릴!

내게서 떨어져

에이프릴, 들어봐

내게서 떨어져

젠장, 숲까지 쫓아오는거야?

에이프릴, 진심이 아니었어

- 정말 진심이 아니었다고
- 아직도 나불대는거야?

그 입 좀
다물 수 없어?

생각을 해야돼!

모르겠어?
생각을 좀 해야된다고!

일단 집으로 돌아와
밖에서 어쩔건데?

또 소리질렀으면 좋겠어?

소리지를거야

정말이야!

알았어

굿모닝

스크램블 해줄까?
아님 프라이?

글쎄

아무거나 상관없어

괜찮다면 스크램블로

좋아

나도 스크램블로 하지

애들 없이 아침먹는 것도
색다르고 좋네

그래

당신이 오늘은 아침을
먹고 싶어할 것 같았어

당신에게 중요한 날이잖아
그렇지?

오늘이 폴락씨와
상의하는 날 아니야?

그래

그래, 맞아

중요하지

아주 중요한 일일 것 같아

그들에게도 말이야

새 직장에서 하는 일이
정확히 뭐야?

제대로 말해 준 적이 없잖아

그랬나?

이건 녹스 사가 아주 큰
컴퓨터를 파는 일이야

녹스 500보다도 큰 거

컴퓨터 얘기 했었나?

아니

지금 말해주면 어때?

그러니까 이건

크고 빠른 계산기야

다만 여기 이...
기계 부분 대신

수천 개의 독립된
진공관이 있어

오, 알았어

대충 알 것 같아

그래, 이건 정말
흥미로운 일이지 않아?

글쎄, 모르겠어

뭐, 흥미로운 일일지도 모르지

당신이 하는 일을
소중히 여겨야 돼

당신은 소질이 있잖아

슬슬 출발해야 겠어

저기, 에이프릴, 그...

정말 좋았어

정말 즐거운 아침식사였어

이렇게 즐거운 아침식사를
했던 적이 없는 것 같아

고마워

나도 즐거웠어

좋은 하루 보내

알았어, 그럼

잘 있어

여보세요

밀리?

애들 잘 있지?

아니, 그게...

기분이 나아지질 않아
그래서 전화했어

너만 괜찮으면
저녁이 좋을 것 같아

뭐?

오, 아냐

그러지마

밖에서 놀게 놔둬

무슨 일이야?

세상에! 쉐프... 무슨말인지
반도 못 알아먹겠어

구조대원이 도착하기 전에
이미 태아가 나왔다 그러는데

그리곤 그... 뭐라더라..
태반을 꺼냈다 그러고

에이프릴은 아직도
출혈이 있대

앰뷸런스가 오기 전에
이미 피를 많이 흘렸대

지금은 출혈을 멈추려
하고 있고

이것저것 얘길 했는데
못 알아먹겠어... 모세혈관 어쩌고...

의식을 잃었대

이런

알았어

프랭크, 자리에 좀 앉을까?

지금 자리에 앉게 생겼어?
세상에...

알았어, 프랭크

담배라도 펴봐

스스로 그런거라고, 쉐프

스스로 그랬어

커피좀 갖다줄게

정말 좋은 사람들이었는데

그렇지 쉐프?

충격적인 일이었죠

- 불쌍한 에이프릴
- 감사합니다

프랭크는 이제 시내에 살아요

어디서 일한다더라?

바트 폴락 사

흥미로운 회사죠

그 뒤론 못봤나요?

No.
Not that year.

Too many memories, I think.

그거 알아요?

몇년 동안 그 집을 쭉

교양 있고 친절한 사람들이에요

윌러부부도 그랬지

나도 윌러부부를 좋아했어요

내 관점에선 좀
특이한 사람들이었지만

좀 신경질적이었죠

어울리기가 어려운
사람들이었어요

여러 방면에서 말이에요

그리고 사실

그 집이 안 팔렸던

- So, what do you do?
- I'm studying to be an actress. You?

- I'm a longshoreman.
- No, I mean, really.

I mean really, too.

Although, starting next Monday,

I'm doing something
a little more glamorous.

What's that?

Night cashier at a cafeteria.

I don't mean how you make money.
I mean, what are you interested in?

Honey, if I had the answer to that one,

I bet I'd bore us both to death
in half an hour.

Thank God that's over.

So much for the debut
of the Laurel Players.

And she was very disappointing.

- Frank! Very nice, Frank!
- Thanks so much, Mrs Givings.

I can't tell you how much we enjoyed it.
You have a very talented wife.

I'll pass it along.

- Frank!
- Hi!

She's in there.
I'm about ready for that drink.

Couple of minutes.

April? Sweetheart?

- Hi.
- Hi.

- You about ready to leave?
- Yeah. Yeah.

I've just got to get this makeup off.

Well, I guess it wasn't a triumph
or anything, was it?

- I guess not. I'll be ready in a minute.
- Take your time.

Listen, will you do me a favour?

Milly and Shep wanted us
to go out with them after.

Will you say we can't? Say it's because
of the babysitter or something.

Well, the thing is,
I already said that we could.

I mean, I just saw them
and I said that we would.

Then would you mind going out again
and saying you were mistaken?

That should be simple enough.

Don't you think
that's a little bit rude, April?

- Then I'll tell them myself.
- Okay. Okay. Take it easy.

All right? I'll tell them.

I mean it, baby.
You were the only person in that play.

Thank you.

We shouldn't have let you get
mixed up in the damned thing, is all.

All right.

What a bunch of amateurs. I mean,
you've studied, for Christ's sake.

Could we stop talking about it now?

Sure.

I just don't want you
feeling bad about it, that's all.

Because it's not worth it, you know.

It's bad enough having to live out
here amongst these people...

- What'd you say?
- I said yes. All right, Frank.

Could you just stop talking about it now
before you drive me crazy, please?

What are you doing?

April, sweetheart,
let's talk about this, okay?

- No, Frank, please don't do that.
- Come on, now.

- Don't touch me.
- April...

Just leave me alone.

Okay. Okay.

It strikes me that there's a considerable
amount of bullshit going on here.

And there's just a few things
that I'd like to clear up. All right?

Number one, it's not my fault
that the play was lousy. Okay?

Number two,
it sure as hell isn't my fault

that you didn't turn out to be an actress,

and the sooner you get over
that little piece of soap opera,

the better off we're both going to be.

Number three,
I don't happen to fit the role

of dumb, insensitive suburban husband.

You've been trying to lay that crap
on me ever since we moved out here.

And I'm damned if I'll wear it.

Number four... April? April!

April.

What the hell are you doing?
Get back in the car.

No. I will in a minute.
Just let me stand here for a second.

God damn it!

April, can you please just get back
in the car and talk about this

instead of running all over Route 12?

Haven't I made it clear I don't
particularly want to talk about it?

Okay. I mean, Jesus,
I'm trying to be nice

about this thing here, for God's sake.

How kind of you.
How terribly, terribly kind of you.

Wait a minute. I don't deserve this.

You're always so wonderfully definite

on the subject of what you do
and don't deserve.

Wait a minute! Wait a goddamn... April!
Now you listen to me.

This is one time
you're not going to get away

with twisting everything that I say, April.

This just happens to be
one goddamn time

I know I'm not in the wrong here.

Christ, I wish
you'd stayed home tonight.

You know what you are
when you're like this, April?

You're sick. I really mean that.

- You're sick! What?
- And do you know what you are?

- You're disgusting.
- Oh, yeah?

You don't fool me, Frank.

Just because you've got me safely
in this little trap,

you think you can bully me into feeling
whatever you want me to feel!

- You in a trap? You in a trap?
- Yes! Yes! Me, Frank!

- Jesus Christ, don't make me laugh!
- Me!

You pathetic, self-deluded little boy.
Look at you!

Look at you and tell me, how by any
stretch of the imagination

you can call yourself a man?

Damn it!

Jesus Christ!

- Don't look at me like that, April.
- Could we please go home now?

Fifteenth floor.

I'm going to need your help
this morning, Old Scout.

For the next few hours, you're to warn
me of Bandy's every approach

and you may need to shield me
from public view

in the likely event I void my stomach.

It's that bad.

Good morning, Jack.

Nothing good about it, I assure you.

{\i1}Of course, I knew the moment{\i}
{\i1}you stepped off the train{\i}

{\i1}what you were looking for.{\i}

A small remodelled barn,
or a carriage house.

And I just hate to be
the one to tell you that sort of thing

just isn't available any more.

But I don't want you to despair.

There is one place up here
I want to show you.

Now, of course, it isn't very desirable
at this end.

As you can see, Crawford Road
is mostly these little cinder-blocky,

pick-up trucky places,
plumbers, carpenters,

little local people of that sort.

But eventually...

Eventually it leads up to Revolutionary
Road, which is much nicer.

Now, the place I want to show you

is a sweet little house
and a sweet little setting.

Simple, clean lines, good lawns,
marvellous for children.

It's just around this next curve.

Now, you'll see it. There.
See the little white one? Sweet, isn't it?

The perky way it sits there on
its little slope? Charming, isn't it?

Oh, yes.

You wanted to see me?

Came for you from Toledo this morning.
This is the third one this month.

Sorry. I thought I'd taken care of...

I'm not prepared to have this
conversation again, Frank.

- You understand?
- I was literally just getting into...

These folks in the provinces look up
to us. We need to be efficient.

We can't have this
kind of back and forth, and so forth.

- It's just not efficient. Am I right?
- Yes.

- What was that about?
- Toledo.

Branch manager wants
a revised brochure

for the conference on the Knox 500.

"It's just not efficient. Am I right?
Am I right? Am I right?"

Sounds like a goodie.

For God's sake. I don't even know what
the Knox 500 does. Do you?

Don't insult me.

If you'll look in the inactive file
under SP 1109,

you'll find copies of all the stuff we sent
to the agency,

that way we can trace the thing back
to its original sources.

Listen, I hope you weren't planning
on having an early lunch.

No. I'm not really hungry.

Good. I'll check on you later then.
All right?

- Okay.
- Okay.

You know something, Maureen?
You're lucky you met me.

How's that?

I think I can show you the ropes,
you know.

There's a certain art to survival at Knox.
Really. Let me show you what I mean.

Waiter. Bring me the telephone,
would you? And two more martinis.

Wow.

Klondike 5-55-66, please.

Hello, Mrs Jorgensen?
Frank Wheeler here. Yes.

I just wanted to let you know
that I've had to send Maureen Grube

down to Visual Aids for me.

I'll probably need her
the rest of the afternoon. Yes.

You, too. Take care now.

- I never even heard of Visual Aids.
- That's because it doesn't exist.

Hi, Helen. Come on in.

I can't stay a minute.

I just wanted to bring
these sedum plantings

for that messy patch
down by the foot of the drive.

It's like the European houseleek,

only these have the most marvellous
little yellow blossoms.

Now, all it wants for the first few days

is just a tiny dollop of water,
and then you'll find it absolutely thrives.

Well, thank you, Helen.
That's so kind of you.

Would you like some coffee?

Is there something
I can do for you, Helen?

I almost forgot.

There is one small favour
I would like to ask.

It's about... It's about my son, John.
He's been in the hospital.

I'm sorry. Is everything all right?

Well, actually, just for the time being,
he's in Pleasant Brook. Psychiatric.

- Oh, I see.
- Well, it's nothing serious.

He just got a little run down. Things can
just get the better of us sometimes.

- Don't you agree?
- Yes. Of course.

It's a marvellous facility

and the treatments
seem to be doing wonders for him.

Anyway, they said getting him out
for an afternoon

might do him a little bit of good.

I think he finds my friends
a little conventional, quite frankly.

I mean, he's travelled.
He has a Ph.D. In mathematics.

I suppose you could say
he's an intellectual.

It would do him a world of good
to meet a young couple like you.

Well, we'd love to meet him.

- Really?
- Yes.

We'd love to.

Thank you, dear.

Thank you.

Well, I must be off.

I remember the first day
you came off the train.

You weren't like my other clients.
You were different.

You just seemed special.

Of course, you still are.

Remember, just a dollop. I must scoot.
Toodle-oo.

Bye.

I think you got me a little drunk.

You know what today is?

Monday?

It's my birthday. I'm 30 years old today.

- Happy birthday!
- Thank you.

What was the name of that department
you made up again?

Visual Aids.

What a joke.

What a joke. Oh, my.

- You want to hear a real joke?
- Yes.

- My old man worked at Knox.
- Yeah?

He was a salesman in Yonkers.

Once a year he used to take me
into the city for lunch.

It was supposed to be a very special,
life-advice sort of occasion.

- Nice.
- No. Not really.

I used to sit there and think,

"I hope to Christ I don't end up like you."

Now, here I am,
a 30-year-old Knox man.

Can you beat that?

I think I kind of lost you...

Your father worked for Knox?

I'm sorry, everything's just kind of
going out of focus.

Why don't we get some air,
you and me?

{\i1}Is this you?{\i}

Yeah.

- You been to Paris?
- I've never really been anywhere.

Maybe I'll take you with me then.

I'm going back the first chance I get,
I tell you.

People are alive there. Not like here.

All I know, April, is I want to feel things.

Really feel them, you know.

{\i1}How's that for an ambition?{\i}

Frank Wheeler? I think you're the most
interesting person I've ever met.

I guess this wasn't what you had in mind
when you went to work this morning?

No. It certainly wasn't.

Do you have a cigarette, Frank?

Yeah, sure.

There you go.

Can I get you a drink or anything?

No thanks, Maureen. Actually, it's...

It's getting kind of late.
I guess I'd better be cutting out.

Gee, that's right.
Did you miss your train?

That's all right, I'll catch the next one.

Listen, you were swell.

Take care now.

- Frank.
- Why are you all dressed up?

First of all, I missed you all day
and I want to say I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for the way I've been
since the play.

I'm sorry for everything, and I love you.

The rest can wait.

Now, you just wait here
till I call you. Okay?

Okay.

All right, Frank. You can come in now.

{\i1}Happy birthday to you{\i}

{\i1}Happy birthday, dear Daddy{\i}

{\i1}Happy birthday to you{\i}

Happy birthday, darling.

- I love you, Daddy.
- I love you, too.

Frank.

Frank. I have had
the most wonderful idea.

- I've been thinking about it all day.
- Baby, what's all this about?

Do you know how much money
we have saved?

Enough to live on for six months
without you earning another dime.

And with the money we could get from
the house and the car, longer than that.

"What we could get for the house"?

Sweetheart, what are you talking about?
Where are we going to live?

Paris.

What?

You always said it was the only place
you'd ever been

that you wanted to go back to,
the only place that was worth living.

So why don't we go there?

- You're serious?
- Yes. What's stopping us?

What's stopping us? Well, I can think
of a number of different things.

For example, what kind of a job
could I possibly get?

You won't be getting any
kind of a job, because I will.

Oh, right, right.

Don't laugh at me. Listen a minute.

Do you know what they pay
for secretarial positions

- in government agencies in Europe?
- No, I don't.

Listen, Frank, I'm serious about this.
Do you think I'm kidding or something?

Okay, okay.
I just have a couple of questions, is all.

For one thing, what exactly
am I supposed to be doing

while you're out earning all this money?

Don't you see? That's the whole idea.

You'll be doing what you should've
been allowed to do seven years ago.

You'll have time.

For the first time in your life
you'll have time to find out

what it is that you actually want to do.

And when you figure it out,

you'll have the time and the freedom
to start doing it.

Sweetheart, it's just
not very realistic, is all.

No, Frank. This is what's unrealistic.

It's unrealistic for a man
with a fine mind to go on working

year after year at a job he can't stand,

coming home to a place he can't stand,

to a wife who's equally unable to stand
the same things.

Do you want to know the worst part?

Our whole existence here
is based on this great premise

that we're special and superior
to the whole thing.

But we're not.

We're just like everyone else.

Look at us. We've bought into
the same ridiculous delusion.

This idea that
you have to resign from life

and settle down the moment
you have children.

And we've been
punishing each other for it.

Listen, we decided to move out here.

No one forced me
to take the job at Knox.

I mean, whoever said I was meant
to be a big deal, anyway?

When I first met you, there was nothing
in the world you couldn't do or be.

When you first met me
I was a little wise guy

with a big mouth, that's all.

You were not.
How can you even say that?

Okay. Okay, so I'll have time.

And God knows that's appealing.
It's very appealing.

And everything you're saying
makes sense

if I had a definite talent,
if I were a writer or an artist.

No. But, Frank, listen. Listen to me.

It's what you are that's being stifled.

It's what you are that's being denied
and denied in this kind of life.

And what's that?

Don't you know?

You're the most beautiful
and wonderful thing in the world.

You're a man.

This is our chance, Frank.
This is our one chance.

Okay.

Okay?

Why not? Why the hell not?

- Good morning, all.
- Morning, Frank.

Franklin. Good to see your shining face.

- What's the news?
- Fellas, I'm moving to Paris.

Indeed. And I'm moving to Tangiers.

Intra-company letter
to Toledo.

Attention B.F. Chalmers,
Branch Manager.

With regard to recent and repeated
correspondence,

this is to advise
that the matter has been

very satisfactorily taken in hand, period.

Paragraph. We wholly agree that
the existing brochure is unsuitable.

To this end, we have developed, quote,

"Speaking of Production Control."

Here you go, Mrs Wheeler. These are
the traveller's cheques you requested.

- Yes.
- Your steamer reservations.

These I'll pass on
to the embassy for you.

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

September. October at the outside.

I just happen to think
people are better off

doing some kind of work
they actually like.

- Right. Right, yes.
- Absolutely, absolutely.

But, I mean, assuming there is
this true vocation waiting for you,

wouldn't you be just as likely
to discover it here as there?

I don't think it's possible
to discover anything

on the 15th floor of the Knox building,

and I don't think any of you do either.

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!

- Michael.
- Daddy, will you read us...

...all the way to here.

We have to take a big boat ride
across the sea to get there.

- But I won't know anybody there.
- I know. I know. Neither will I.

But remember how you felt
when you started school?

And now look
how many friends you have.

You'll never guess
what they eat in Paris.

- You'll never guess.
- What?

- Slimy snails.
- Snails?

Slimy snails and icky frog's legs.

Milly, where are you, doll?

You better get changed,
they'll be here soon.

- Is that what you're wearing?
- Don't you like it?

Yeah, yeah. You look great, doll.

Guess I better haul ass.

Hiya, gang.

What you watching?

Shep?

I was calling you and calling you.

Hi.

Here we go. Just a little something.

- Those look great. I'm starving.
- April, I can't get over it,

you look like the cat that ate the canary.

Do you have something to tell us?
Just a little bit of news?

Well, actually, Milly, we... Well, we do
have some important news, yes.

I knew it.

Honey, why don't you tell them?
Go ahead.

We're going to Europe. To Paris.

To live.

- What?
- When?

- In September.
- But what for?

What for?
Well, because we've always wanted to.

Because the kids are young enough.
Because it's beautiful.

I mean, really.
Shep, you've been there, you tell her.

- Yeah, it's a great city.
- Yeah.

When did you make this decision?

About a week ago?
It's hard to remember.

We just suddenly decided to go,
that's all.

- About a week ago, you tell us now.
- We had to get used to the idea.

So, what's the deal, Frank?
You get a job over there, or what?

- No, no. Not exactly.
- What do you mean, "Not exactly"?

Frank won't be getting
any kind of a job, because I will.

So what are you going to do, Frank?

I'm going to study.
And I'm going to read.

I suppose I'm going to finally figure out
what I want to do with my life, Shep.

While she supports you?

Yes. While she supports me.

In the beginning.

You wouldn't believe what they pay
for secretarial work

in those government agencies
over there.

NATO and ECA and those places.

And the cost of living
is dirt cheap, right?

It's so cheap.

The truth is we just need
something different.

We're not getting any younger and
we don't want life to just pass us by.

That's right.

Gee, it sounds wonderful, kids.

I mean it. It really sounds wonderful.

- Thank you, Milly.
- Oh, Milly.

We'll certainly miss you both.
Won't we, sweetie? Golly.

- Sure.
- We'll miss you, too.

- Of course.
- True.

We should have a toast or something.
To Paris.

- To Paris.
- To Paris.

To Paris.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

You know what I think?

What?

I think this whole plan
sounds a little immature.

Oh, God, I am so relieved.

Me, too.
I was thinking that the whole time.

I mean, what kind of man
is going to sit around

in his bathrobe all day picking his nose

- while his wife goes out and works?
- I don't know, Shep.

I just don't know.

Why are you crying?

What's the matter?

It's nothing. I'm just so relieved.

Shep.

Don't cry. Please. It's all right.
Everything's going to be all right.

My God, their faces! Oh, God.

Oh, God!

You know what this is like,
April, honestly?

Just talking like this?

The whole idea of going off
to Europe this way?

This is the way I felt going up to the line
the first time, in the war.

I mean, I was probably
just as scared as everyone else,

but inside I never felt better.

I felt alive. I felt full of blood. I felt...

Everything just...
Everything seemed more real.

The guys in their uniforms.

The snow on the fields, the trees.
And all of us just walking.

I mean, I was scared, of course.

But I just kept thinking,
"This is it, you know. This is the truth."

I felt that way once, too.

When?

The first time you made love to me.

April.

Frank.

- What's up?
- Bart Pollock's here.

He's in Bandy's office.

Big deal, huh?

Looks like he wants to talk to you.

Hey, keep my name out of it.

Frank. Good to see you.
You know Bart Pollock?

- Well, we've never met, but of course...
- Good to know you, Frank.

"Speaking of Production Control"?

Frank, this is a crackerjack.

They are tickled to death in Toledo.

Really?

So, this guy Pollock was perfect
presidential material in the worst sense.

A million dollar smile and about three
pounds of muscle between the ears.

April, you should have heard this guy.

"Frank, this is a crackerjack."
What a horse's ass.

Wish I'd seen his face
when you told him you were leaving.

Yeah.

Here they come.

- Sorry to be late.
- You're not late.

- The traffic was terrible.
- Thank you. You didn't have to do that.

- Good to see you.
- Wasn't it terrible, Howard?

Well, Route 12.

By the time they finish
that stretch of road,

they'll have to start all over again, right?

- And you must be John?
- Say hello, John.

Nice to meet you. Heard a lot about you.

- Where are your darling children?
- They're at a birthday party.

- Sorry they couldn't be here.
- Don't worry.

If I had a certified lunatic
coming around my house,

I'd probably get the kids
out of the way, too.

Look at all this food. You didn't
have to go to any trouble for us.

It's just some sandwiches.

John, would you like a sandwich?

Helen's been talking it up
about you people for months.

The nice young Wheelers
on Revolutionary Road,

the nice young Revolutionaries
on Wheeler Road.

- Would anyone like some sherry?
- Please don't bother, Frank.

I'd like some sherry.

And I'll drink Helen's, too,
if she doesn't beat me to it.

But, hey,
you got a high-ball glass?

Put a couple-three ice cubes in it,
pour it up to the brim.

- That's the way I like it.
- I think I can handle that.

This egg salad is delicious, April.
You must tell me how you fix it.

- You a lawyer, Frank?
- No. No, I'm not.

I could use a lawyer.

John, let's not get started again
about the lawyer.

Pop, couldn't you just sit there

and eat your wonderful egg salad
and quit horning in?

See, I've got a good
many questions to ask

and I'm willing to pay for the answers.

Now, I don't need to be told that a man
who goes after his mother

with a coffee table is putting himself in
a weak position legally, that's obvious.

John, come and have a look
out this fabulous picture window.

If he hits her with it and kills her,
that's a criminal case.

- Oh, look, the sun's coming out!
- If all he does is break the coffee table

and give her
a certain amount of aggravation

and she decides to
go to court over it, that's a civil case.

Maybe we'll have a rainbow.
John, come have a look.

Ma, how about doing everybody
a favour? How about shutting up!

Settle down, now.

Maybe I can look into it, recommend
someone. What do you say?

So, what do you do, Frank?

I work at Knox Business Machines,
actually.

You design the machines?

- Nope.
- Make them, sell them, repair them?

- All these questions.
- I help sell them, I guess.

I work in the office. Actually, it's...

Well, it's sort of a stupid job, really.

There's nothing interesting
about it at all.

What do you do it for then?

Maybe Frank doesn't like
being questioned.

Okay, okay, okay.
I know it's none of my business.

And besides, I know the answer.

You want to play house,
you got to have a job.

You want to play very nice house,
very sweet house,

then you've got to have
a job you don't like.

Anyone comes along and says,
"What do you do it for?"

He's probably on a four-hour pass
from the state funny farm.

- All agreed? Ma?
- Sorry, Frank.

Don't be. Don't be. Actually, John,
I agree with everything you just said.

We both do. That's why I'm quitting
the job in the fall. We're taking off.

We're moving to Paris.

Did you know about this, Ma?

How do you feel about that, Ma?
The nice young Wheelers...

The nice young Wheelers are taking off.

- John, please.
- Steady down, Son.

John. John. How about some fresh air?
What do you say?

If that's all right with you?

- I don't know if it's such a good idea...
- If John wants to, I don't see the harm.

- Good.
- After you.

- I hear you're a mathematician.
- You hear wrong. It's all gone now.

All gone?

You know what
electrical shock treatments are?

Yes. Yes, I do.

I've had 37.

Supposed to jolt out
the emotional problems.

- Just jolted out the mathematics.
- How awful.

"How awful"? Why,
because mathematics is so interesting?

No. Because the shocks
must be awful and,

well, because it's awful not to be able
to do what it is that you want to do.

I think mathematics must be dull.

I like your girl, Frank.

Me, too.

So, what do a couple of people like you
have to run away from?

- We're not running.
- So what's in Paris?

- A different way of life.
- Maybe we are running.

We're running from the hopeless
emptiness of the whole life here, right?

The hopeless emptiness?

Now you've said it. Plenty of people
are on to the emptiness,

but it takes real guts
to see the hopelessness.

Wow.

You know, he's the first person

who seemed to know
what we were talking about.

Yeah. That's true, isn't it?
Maybe we are just as crazy as he is.

If being crazy means
living life as if it matters,

then I don't care
if we are completely insane.

Do you?

No.

I love you so much.

Tell you something, Frank.
That Ted Bandy, nice guy.

Real sport.

Good enough department head and all.

But I'm a little sore at him
for the way he's kept you

under a bushel all these years.

- This place okay for you?
- It's just fine, sir. Just fine.

One thing interests me, Frank,
and one thing only.

Selling the electronic computer
to the American businessman.

That's why I'm assembling a team.
Men like you.

Not your average salesmen.

It'll mean more money,

and, I got to be honest,
maybe more of a time commitment.

But you'll be a part of
something exciting, Wheeler.

Computers.

Well, sir, it sounds exciting.

- Bart.
- Bart.

Bart, let me ask you a question.

Do you happen to remember
an Earl Wheeler? Out of Yonkers?

- Can't say that I do. Relation of yours?
- My father.

He worked as a salesman for Knox
for almost 20 years.

Earl Wheeler.

There's no reason you'd remember him.

Well, I'm sure he was a good man.

Listen, Bart, there's something
I should have mentioned earlier.

I'm going to be leaving the firm
in the fall.

- Another outfit?
- No, no, it's not another outfit.

Now, look, Frank.
Is it a question of money?

Because if it is, there's no reason

we can't get together on a satisfactory...

Well, I sure appreciate that,
but no, it's not the money.

It's... Well, it's more of a personal thing.

I hope you understand.

A personal thing?

I see.

Frank, let me tell you something
my father told me.

A man only gets
a couple of chances in life.

If he doesn't grab them by the balls,

it won't be long before
he's sitting around wondering

how he got to be second rate.

I guess so.

So, do me a favour. Sleep on it.

Discuss it with your wife.

Because let's be honest,
where the hell would any of us be

without our wives, anyway?

And, Frank, in all sincerity,
if you do decide to join us,

I believe it'll be a thing
you'll never regret.

And I believe something else, too.

I believe it'd be a fine memorial
to your dad.

Think about it, Frank.
Really think about it.

Knowing what you've got, comma,

knowing what you need, comma,

knowing what you can do without, dash.

That's inventory control.

{\i1}Knowing what you've got, comma,{\i}

{\i1}knowing what you need, comma,{\i}

{\i1}knowing what you can do without, dash.{\i}

{\i1}That's inventory control.{\i}

Hi, Frank.

Working late?

Yeah. I got to dig myself out here.

I heard you were getting promoted.

Big shot.

I guess your dad would have been
real proud, huh?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.

So maybe I should take you
for a drink or something?

You know, celebrate.

Yeah, maybe.

I'll just get my things.

I'm going to bring my doll carriage

and my three Easter rabbits
and my giraffe

and all my dolls and my doll house
and my crayons...

I thought maybe
we'd give the doll house to Madeline.

I don't want to give the doll house
to Madeline.

But I already explained to you,

the big things
are going to be hard to pack.

But she can have my bear,

- and my three Easter rabbits.
- No! Just the big things.

Look. Wouldn't you rather go outside
and play with Michael?

- I don't feel like it.
- You've been inside all day.

I don't feel like it.

Well, I don't feel like
explaining everything 15 times

to somebody who's too bored and silly
to listen!

- All right, April. What's the matter?
- Nothing.

I don't believe you.
Did something happen this morning?

Nothing happened today that I haven't
known about for days and days.

What?

Oh, God, Frank,
please don't look so dense.

You mean you haven't guessed
or anything?

April, what are you talking about?

I'm pregnant, that's all.

What?

Frank, I meant to wait
till the kids were in bed to tell you,

but I just...
Well, I've been pretty sure all week

and today I went to the doctor,

and now I can't even pretend
it's not true.

- How long?
- Ten weeks.

Ten weeks. Ten weeks?
And you wait until now to tell me?

I thought... I don't know what I thought.
I'm sorry, Frank. I'm so sorry.

I know. I know you are. All right?

There are things we can do.

We don't have to let this stop us
from going, do we?

Remember that girl at school
I told you about?

As long as we take care of it
before 12 weeks, it's fine.

We've got to be together in this, Frank.

Well, we'll figure it out. All right?

Come here.

Twelve weeks.
So we have time to decide, right?

Right.

I love you.

I love you, too.

So, Frank, how's work?
They gonna survive without you?

Actually, something kind of funny
happened the other day.

I did some dumb little piece of work
to get myself off the hook with Bandy,

and suddenly,
I'm the bright young man.

- That's always the way, ain't it?
- It's incredible.

I mean, I knocked this thing off
in a couple of minutes

and now they want me to join
their team of "specialist" salesmen.

Morons.

Well, it would be funny
if they weren't offering

so much damn money.

So, are you tempted?

Well, it's just kind of ironic,
don't you think?

I thought you turned the job down.

Not yet.

It's just an option, that's all.

With the kind of money they're talking,
things could be different for us here.

We could get a better place. Travel.

The point is, we could be happy here,
at least for a little while.

It is possible that Parisians
aren't the only ones

capable of leading
interesting lives, April.

So you've made up your mind?

No. No. Like I said, it's just an option.
That's all.

And supposing you're right.

You make all this money
and we have this interesting life here.

Won't you still be wasting your life
toiling away at a job you find ridiculous?

Maybe we let that be my business,
all right?

Your business?

You know what? It's too hot for this.
I'm going to go get wet.

- You don't want to go, do you?
- Come on, April. Of course, I do.

No, you don't.
Because you've never tried at anything.

And if you don't try at anything,
you can't fail.

What the hell do you mean I don't try?

I support you, don't I?
I pay for this house.

I work 10 hours a day
at a job I can't stand.

- You don't have to.
- Bullshit!

Look, I'm not happy about it.

But I have the backbone not to run away
from my responsibilities.

It takes backbone
to lead the life you want, Frank.

Where are you going?

If it's all right with you, April,
I'm gonna go use the bathroom. Okay?

What the hell are you going to do
with this?

And what do you think
you're going to do?

- You're going to stop me?
- You're damn right I am!

Go ahead and try.

Listen to me. You do this, April,
you do this and I swear to God I'II...

You'll what? You'll leave me?
Is that a threat or a promise?

When did you buy this, April?

How long have you had this?
I want to know!

Jesus Christ.

You really are being melodramatic
about this whole thing.

As long as it's done
in the first 12 weeks, it's perfectly safe.

- That's now, April! Don't I get a say?
- Of course you do!

It would be for you, Frank.
Don't you see?

So you can have time,
just like we talked about.

How can it be for me
when the thought of it

makes my stomach turn over,
for God's sake?

Then it's for me.

Tell me we can have the baby
in Paris, Frank.

Tell me we can have a different life.
But don't make me stay here. Please.

- We can't have the baby in Paris.
- Why not?

I don't need everything we have here.
I don't care where we live.

I mean, who made these rules, anyway?

Look, the only reason we moved
out here was because I got pregnant.

Then we had another child to prove
the first one wasn't a mistake.

I mean, how long does it go on?

Frank.
Do you actually want another child?

Well, do you? Come on, tell me.

Tell me the truth, Frank.
Remember that?

We used to live by it.

And you know what's so good
about the truth?

Everyone knows what it is,
however long they've lived without it.

No one forgets the truth, Frank.
They just get better at lying.

So tell me,
do you really want another child?

All I know is what I feel.

And anyone else in their right mind
would feel the same way, April.

But I've had two children.
Doesn't that count in my favour?

Christ, April!
The fact that you even put it that way!

You make it seem as if having children
is some sort of a goddamn punishment.

I love my children, Frank.

And you're sure about that, huh?

What the hell
is that supposed to mean?

April, you just said our daughter
was a mistake.

How do I know you didn't try
to get rid of her,

- or Michael for that matter?
- No.

How do I know you didn't try to flush
our entire fucking family

- down the toilet?
- No, that's not true. Of course I didn't.

But how do I know, April?

Stop. Please just stop, Frank.

April, a normal woman,
a normal sane mother

doesn't buy a piece of rubber tubing
to give herself an abortion

so she can live out
some kind of a goddamn fantasy.

Look, all I'm saying is you don't seem
entirely rational about this thing.

And I think it's about time
we found somebody

to help make some sense of your life.

And the new job's going to
pay for that, too?

April, if you need a shrink,
it will be paid for.

Obviously.

Okay. I guess there isn't much more
to say then, is there?

So I guess Paris
was a pretty childish idea, huh?

I guess maybe it was.

April, we can be happy here.

I can make you happy here.

We've had a great couple of months.
It doesn't need to end.

We're going to be okay. I promise.

I hope so, Frank.

I really hope so.

Thank you for waiting.
Mr Pollock will see you now.

Thanks so much.

Foiled by faulty contraception.

I can't say that I'm sorry.

You'd have been sorely missed
in the old cubicle, I can tell you that.

Wouldn't have been the same
without you.

Besides... Well...

What?

The plan always seemed
a touch unrealistic, don't you think?

I suppose
it's none of my business, really.

No. No. I suppose it isn't.

Well...

They'll be celebrating
in the secretarial pool.

Hey! Remember the first time
you brought us here?

Absolutely.

You said it takes a special kind of taste
to enjoy Vito's Log Cabin.

It's so awful, it's kind of nice.

Look at me. I'm just so happy.
Our little gang's back together again.

- Hey, Europe's not going anywhere.
- That's right.

April, honey, how about a dance?

Not right now. Maybe later.

- I'll dance.
- Okay.

Guess she's still pretty blue
about Paris, huh?

Think she'll be okay?

Sure. Give us girls a couple of days
and we can get over anything.

Right.

Frank.

Are you okay? Are you okay? Milly?

I'm so sorry.

Excuse me.

That's just great.

How the hell
are we supposed to get out now?

Oh, boy.

Don't worry about it, Shep.
We can wait. Really.

What about the sitter?

Listen, why don't you drive Milly home,
then go home yourself.

That takes care of both sitters.
Then Shep can take me home later.

- Yeah, it's fine by me.
- Okay, then.

- You... You'll be all right?
- Sure.

Okay.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Feel better.

I'm sorry you're not
going away any more.

I know it was important to you.

Don't take this wrong,
but I've been there.

They don't have so much
we don't have here.

It didn't have to be Paris.

You just wanted out, huh?

I wanted in.

I just wanted us to live again.

For years,
I thought we shared this secret.

That we would be
wonderful in the world.

I didn't exactly know how, but just...

Just the possibility kept me hoping.

How pathetic is that?

So stupid.

To put all your hopes in a promise
that was never made?

See, Frank knows.
He knows what he wants.

He's found his place. He's just fine.

Married, two kids.

It should be enough.

It is for him.

And he's right.

We were never special or destined
or anything at all.

Yes, you are.

You're...

You're the Wheelers.

You're a terrific couple.
Everybody says so.

I saw a whole other future.

I can't stop seeing it.

Can't leave,

can't stay.

No damn use to anyone.

Come on.

Let's do it.

Let me take you somewhere.

No. Just do it here. Now.

April.

This is what I've always wanted.

I love you.

Don't say that.

No. I mean it, I love you.

Please, just be quiet for a minute.

Then you can take me home.

It's beautiful out.

Yes, it is.

You know what today is?

- It's 12 weeks.
- That's right.

Look, this has been
kind of a crazy summer.

We've both been under a strain.

I mean, I understand why you're upset.

You know I'm not sleeping with you,
and you want to know why.

Well, I'm sorry, Frank,
but I really don't feel like talking about it.

All right.
Then what should we talk about, April?

Would it be all right
if we didn't talk about anything?

I mean, can't we just take each day
as it comes, and do the best we can,

and not feel like we have to talk
about everything all the time?

I don't think I'm suggesting that
we talk about everything all the time.

Look, my point is we've both been
under a strain

and we ought to be helping each other
out as much as we can right now.

I mean, God knows my own behaviour
has been pretty weird lately.

As a matter of fact, there is something
I'd like to tell you about.

I've been with a girl a few times,
in the city.

A girl I hardly even know.

It was nothing to me,

but it's over now, really over.

And if I weren't sure of that, I guess
I could never have told you about it.

Why did you?

Baby, I don't know.

I think it's a simple case
of wanting to be a man again

after all that abortion business.

Some kind of neurotic,
irrational need to prove something.

No. I don't mean
why did you have the girl.

I mean, why did you tell me about it?

- What do you mean?
- I mean, what's the point?

Is it supposed to make me jealous
or something?

Is it supposed to make me
fall in love with you,

or back into bed with you, or what?

I mean,
what would you like me to say, Frank?

Why don't you say what you feel, April?

I don't feel anything.

In other words, you don't care what I do
or who I fuck or anything?

No, I guess that's right. I don't.

Fuck who you like.

April, don't you understand
that I want you to care?

I know. I know you do.

And I suppose I would if I loved you.

But I don't think I do any more.
And I only just figured that out.

And that's why I'd just as soon
not do any talking right now.

Don't give me that shit, April.
Don't give me that.

- You know goddamn well you love me.
- You think so?

You know goddamn well!

Anyone home?

I'm sorry dinner's late.
Would anyone like another drink?

Don't worry.
It's nice to just sit a bit and socialise.

You shouldn't have gone to
all this trouble.

With all your packing and whatnot.

I imagine you have a lot on your plate.
No pun intended.

Actually, there's been
a change of plans.

I thought maybe it was obvious.

April here is pregnant.

- Congratulations.
- Oh, April!

I can't tell you how pleased I am!

But I expect you'll be needing
a bigger house now, won't you?

Hold it a second, Ma.
Hold on a second, Ma.

I don't get this.
I mean, what's so obvious about it?

I mean, okay, she's pregnant, so what?
Don't people have babies in Europe?

- John...
- Suppose we just say

that people anywhere
aren't very well advised to have babies

unless they can afford them.

Okay. Okay, it's a question of money.
Money's a good reason.

But it's hardly ever the real reason.

What's the real reason?
Wife talk you out of it or what?

Little woman decide she isn't
quite ready to quit playing house?

No, no, that's not it. I can tell.

She looks too tough
and adequate as hell.

Okay, then. It must've been you.
What happened?

- John, please. You're being very rude.
- No, no. What happened, Frank?

You get cold feet?

You decide
you're better off here after all?

You figure it's more comfy

here in the old hopeless emptiness
after all, huh?

Oh, wow, that did it. Look at his face.

What's the matter, Wheeler?
Am I getting warm?

- All right, Son. I think we'd better be...
- You know something?

I wouldn't be surprised
if he knocked her up on purpose

just so he could spend the rest of his
life hiding behind a maternity dress.

That way he'd never have to find out
what he's really made of.

Now look, I think that's just about
enough out of you.

I mean, who the hell
do you think you are?

You come in here and say

whatever crazy goddamn thing
comes into your head,

and I think it's about time somebody told
you to keep your goddamn mouth shut.

- He's not well, Frank.
- Not well, my ass!

I don't give a damn
if he's sick or well or dead or alive,

he should keep his fucking opinions

in the fucking insane asylum
where they belong!

- Let's go, Son.
- Come on, John.

Big man you got there, April.

Big family man.

I feel sorry for you.

Still, maybe you deserve each other.

I mean, the way you look right now,
I'm beginning to feel sorry for him, too.

You must give him a pretty bad time

if making babies is the only way
he can prove he's got a pair of balls.

- You fucking...
- No! He's not well, Frank!

All right, John.
Let's get on out to the car now.

April, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Oh, right. Sorry. Sorry! Sorry!

Ma, have I said
"I'm sorry" enough times?

Damn! I am sorry, too.

I bet I'm just about
the sorriest bastard I know.

But get right down to it, I don't have
a whole hell of a lot to be glad about.

Do I?

But, hey, you know what?

I am glad about one thing.

You want to know what I'm glad about?

I'm glad I'm not gonna be that kid.

Okay, okay, don't tell me.

Don't tell me, let me guess.

I made a disgusting spectacle
of myself, right?

Right.

And everything that man said
is true, right?

Is that what you're going to say?

Apparently I don't have to.

- You're saying it for me.
- Well, you're wrong, April.

- Really? Why am I wrong?
- Because the man is insane.

He's fucking insane! Do you know what
the definition of insanity is?

No. Do you?

Yes, it's the inability
to relate to another human being.

It's the inability to love.

April. April.

April! April!

The inability... The inability to love.

Frank. You really are a wonderful talker.

If black could be made into white
by talking,

you'd be the man for the job.

So now I'm crazy
because I don't love you. Right?

- Is that the point?
- No. Wrong.

You're not crazy and you do love me.
That's the point, April.

But I don't. I hate you.

You were just some boy
who made me laugh at a party once

and now I loathe the sight of you.

In fact, if you come any closer,
if you touch me or anything,

I think I'll scream.

Come on. Stop this, April.

Fuck you, April!

Fuck you and all your hateful,
snotty little...

What're you going to do now?
Are you going to hit me?

- To show me how much you love me?
- Don't worry, I can't be bothered!

You're not worth the trouble
it would take to hit you.

You're not worth the powder
it would take to blow you up.

You're an empty, empty,
hollow shell of a woman!

What the hell are you doing in my house
if you hate me so much?

Why the hell are you married to me?

What the hell are you doing
carrying my child?

I mean, why didn't you just get
rid of it when you had the chance?

Because listen to me.
Listen to me, I got news for you.

I wish to God that you had.

April!

- April!
- Stay away from me.

- April, listen.
- Stay away from me.

Can't I even get away from you
in the fucking woods?

April, listen, I didn't mean that.

- Honestly, I didn't mean what I said.
- Are you still talking?

Isn't there any way to stop your talking?

I need to think. Can't you see that?
I need to think.

Please come back to the house.
What're you doing out here, April?

Do you want me to scream again,
Frank?

Because I will! I mean it!

Okay. Okay.

Good morning.

Would you like
scrambled eggs or fried?

I don't know.

It doesn't really matter.
Scrambled, I guess, if it's easy.

Fine. I'll have scrambled, too.

It's kind of nice having breakfast
without the kids for a change, huh?

Yes.

I thought you'd probably want
a good breakfast today.

I mean, it's kind of an important day
for you, isn't it?

Isn't this the day you have
your conference with Pollock?

Yes. Yes, that's right.

- Big deal.
- I imagine it is a pretty big deal.

For them, anyway.

What exactly do you think
you'll be doing in your new job?

You haven't really
told me much about it.

Haven't I?

Well, I think this whole thing
is about Knox getting ready

to buy up one of those
really big computers,

even bigger than the 500.

- Didn't I tell you about that?
- No.

Why don't you tell me now?

Well,

you know, basically it's just a big,
fast adding machine.

Only, instead of mechanical parts,
you see,

you've got thousands
of individual vacuum tubes.

I see.

At least I think I see.

Yes, it's really kind of interesting,
isn't it?

Well, I don't know.

Yeah, I guess it is kind of interesting,
in a way.

You should value what you do, Frank.

You're obviously good at it.

Well, I guess
I'd better be getting started, huh?

Listen, though, April, the...

This was really nice.

I mean, it was a swell breakfast.
Really, I...

I don't know when I've ever had
a nicer breakfast.

Thank you. I enjoyed it, too.

Then you don't...
You don't hate me or anything?

No. No, of course I don't.

Have a good day.

Okay, then. So long.

Hello. Milly? Everything all right?

Well, no, I'm afraid I'm not feeling
any better. That's really why I called.

If it's not an inconvenience for you,
this evening would be great.

What?

Oh, no. No.
Not if they're outdoors playing.

No.

Don't call them in.

Just give them each a kiss for me,

and tell them I...

Tell them...

You know. All right. All right.
Thank you, Milly. Bye.

I think I need help.

115 Revolutionary Road.

- Frank. They tell you what happened?
- Jesus Christ.

Shep, I didn't understand
half the things he told me.

He said the foetus was out
before they got her here.

And they had to operate to take out
the, what do you call it, the placenta?

And now she's still bleeding.

He said that she'd lost a lot of blood
before the ambulance came,

and now they're trying to stop it.

He said a whole lot of things
I didn't understand about capillaries...

He said that she's unconscious. Jesus.

Okay, Frank,
why don't you just take a seat?

What the hell do I want to sit down for,
for God's sake?

Okay, Frank. Just take it easy.
Take it easy.

- Frank, have a cigarette.
- She did it to herself, Shep.

She did it to herself.

I'm gonna get you some coffee.

They were such wonderful people.
Weren't they, Shep?

It's just devastating. Poor April.

Thank you.

Frank lives in the city now.
Where is it that he works?

- Bart Pollock Associates.
- Computers?

Interesting firm.

- Have you seen him since?
- No. Not back here.

There are too many memories, I think.
Shep has seen him in the city.

Haven't you, sweetie?

Frank is just devoted to those kids.

Every spare moment he has,
he spends with them.

Excuse me.

You all right?

I don't want to talk
about the Wheelers any more.

Okay.

We don't have to.

Daddy, Daddy, watch. Watch, Daddy.

{\i1}I can't tell you how pleased I am{\i}

{\i1}about the little Revolutionary Road{\i}
{\i1}place, Howard.{\i}

And now whenever I drive past,
it gives me such a lift

to see it all perked up
and spanking clean again.

All the lights in all the windows.

And do you know? I was just thinking,
I've loved that little house for years.

And the Braces are the only really
suitable people I've ever found for it.

Really nice, congenial people, I mean.

Well, except for the Wheelers,
you mean.

I was very fond of the Wheelers.

They were a bit whimsical for my taste.
A bit neurotic.

I never stressed it, but they were often

very trying people
to deal with, in many ways.

And actually, the main reason
that the little house was so hard to sell

was because they let it depreciate
so dreadfully.

Warped window frames, wet cellar,
crayon marks all over the walls,

filthy smudges around the door knobs
and the fixtures...
