Dear citizens,

thank you for your trust.

Your cooperation

is very appreciated.

Dear citizens, we recommend

taking only the official

equilibrium pills

for your benefit.

Unauthorized products may

harm you and your families.

We politely ask you to

take on responsibility

for our society and help us to

defeat disorder.

Black

shoe.

When I look out my window.

Many sights to see.

And when I look in my window.

So many different people to be.

That it's strange,

so strange.

You've got to

pick up every stitch.

You've got to

pick up every stitch.

You've got to

pick up every stitch.

M-Mmh.

Must be the season of the witch.

Must be the season

of the witch, yeah.

Must be the season of the witch

You've got to

pick up every stitch.

The rabbits running

in the ditch.

Beatniks are out

to make it rich.

Oh no, must be the

season of the witch.

Must be the season of the witch

You cannot

come in without shoes.

There's a tornado outside.

You cannot come in

without shoes.

The heel is broken.

Is there

any problem here?

A tornado's coming.

There is something

weird out there.

Tornado?

That was not on the news.

Yeah, news didn't say anything

about a tornado so

There isn't one.

You cannot come

in without shoes.

Not without shoes.

Denise.

What do you want, Anton?

Did you hear what

happened to me today?

No.

What?

I'm now head of

customer relations.

I have a desk.

I'm not really in

the mood to talk.

I was actually in the

middle of something.

You can't be seen at

the bank with those shoes.

You've been working

at the bank for five years.

Mm-hmm.

Do you ever wonder

why you do what you do?

No.

Wes is weird. I

wouldn't go near him.

He doesn't function

in society correctly

after coming back from that w*r.

Look.

Up there.

Dear citizens,

help us to defeat disorder.

The next number, please.

Go to the corner

in this direction.

It's getting better, Patrick.

What is?

The world.

A change has happened.

Why?

What change?

Something interesting

has happened outside.

Something actually interesting.

I I can't leave here anyway,

I barely got this job.

Up in the sky,

there are two moons.

Did anyone else see?

Anton saw it.

He confirmed it.

Oh,

Anton confirmed it, well

then it must be true.

Dear citizens,

you can easily notify us

about uncooperative citizens,

we will carefully

help them to adjust.

I saw strange things

in the sky today.

Nobody cared.

That is a frightening

premise to all civilization.

What?

That we are not running things.

Why? I'd be relieved.

Anything would be better.

Rocks, clouds, gravity.

Earthquake!

Xenia.

Denise, it's time for

you to pay the rent.

Well, I'm not really taking up

any room in my corner.

And, you know, I'm

unemployed now.

Wow, you better

get your act together.

I mean, look at you,

you're living in a corner.

Are you ever

getting a job again?

Are you ever getting

a job just once?

I don't need a job.

Xenia is an artist and the world

needs to know

what she's thinking.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Ah, here is a gift

for you, Denise.

A gift?

Thanks, Xenia,

it's really beautiful.

How sweet.

Did you guys feel something

like a rumbling,

almost like an earthquake?

Do you think it has

something to do with the fact

there are two moons in the sky?

Xenia, don't you think

it's amazing?

I have to go.

Ciao for now!

Wait -Bye.

I don't know.

I think that hot little

blonde was hitting on you.

You are still the same.

Welcome,

Lieutenant Daniel Winthrop.

That was fun.

Thank you very much.

Salut.

Cheers.

To enduring friendship.

Let's celebrate our

friendship then

and this wonderful night.

One thing, unfortunately,

that we won't be

celebrating is this.

This

is a problem.

Listen,

I can fix this.

I can put you in a high-level

government position

away from academics.

They're cracking

down on universities.

But you give me a shot, I

think I can make this go away.

I don't want to become

a fat, corrupt government guy.

What I want is the truth.

We don't want the truth.

You want to know why?

Because we have our truth.

They need to be little

cogs in the machine.

- Ah, that's...

- Remote control.

- Okay, that's...

- You understand?

- No, I...

- There's a reason for this.

Without power,

everything is unpredictable.

Life itself is unpredictable.

You should know that.

No, no, no, no, no. Not for us.

We don't let these

people reason.

Do you understand?

Are you joking?

Fix it.

Retract the f*cking report.

Fix the f*cking report!

Who the f*ck are you?

Rights come to us

from God via nature.

It's the government's job to

secure and protect those rights.

The government does not

give rights, it gives reason.

Do you understand?

In order to justify

going to w*r for

for

us.

Dear citizens

Ah,

the sign is still here,

which means the job

is still available.

Andre why don't you sit here

and think positive thoughts?

Hey, look over there.

Look at that kid.

Let's put our best foot forward,

keep our heads held high,

and make it easy for

them to hire you.

Hmm?

Hello, I see from your

sign in the window

that you have a job opening

here at your wonderful cafe.

Uhh, can I help you ladies?

Oh, we're not ladies

but you can help.

It just so happens that my

friend Wes here

is looking for a job.

Tell him not to bother if

he's not from around here.

Okay?

It's our people first.

He's been away for a few

months fighting in the w*r.

Thank you.

Oh!

Did you

Is it yours?

Yes, thank you.

Thank you.

Funny.

No, sorry.

Thank you.

Sorry, what is it?

Oh, it's a job application

for my friend to work in there.

Wes? Work there?

Well, you know,

in this day and age,

you know, any job's a good job.

Ready to go Tom?

Hey, Denise, car's gonna be

here in two minutes.

Your friend is unusual looking.

Oh, I think he's

interesting looking.

Yeah, he's really good at jobs.

They just don't hire him

because he's unusual looking.

I'm not unusual.

He just got a job at a bank,

but they moved his desk

under the basement.

I have a

career there, okay?

- Yeah.

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

- YEAH!

Yeah.

Where are you guys from?

Oh, we're from um

lots of places.

It's pretty bad all over.

The wars and

That's why we're here,

neutral country.

My name's Tom.

This is my nephew Andre.

Hi, we've only been

here a short time.

Is that an army hat?

It is, yeah.

It's my dad's.

He's been everywhere,

even to the top of the world.

He was stationed there,

seen probably polar bears.

Yeah, not much snow

there anymore.

What did you study?

I didn't finish school.

Why not?

I wanna join the army.

Yes, he's going to get his um

higher education elsewhere.

I'm sorry, did I ask

too many questions?

No, not at all.

Better get going.

Hey Wes, did you

see the two moons?

Did you ever see such faces?

So displaced.

As if they belong

nowhere in the universe.

Denise, if you don't

You're gonna be like that if you

don't get your life in order.

Just like them.

You know what I did?

I just signed a contract at

a wedding chapel in Vegas.

Oh really?

Yeah, because

this plan is so cool.

You know, all the other actors

what they want to do?

They all go directly to

Hollywood. What are

they gonna do?

They're gonna

wait tables, right?

- That's true.

- Yeah, but Beat and I,

we have this unique plan.

- Oh, you do?

- We hit Vegas first.

OMG! Can't anybody get

service in this country?

I was at this other restaurant

and it took them 20 minutes

to bring my lunch.

In my restaurant,

if customers bother me,

I'll serve them even slower.

You're right!

And that's why you will always

be a waiter, Gianni.

Although, a very

good looking one.

Amore, oh mio!

We need to check the news.

We are not turning the channels.

I have this other

friend visiting here soon.

She is a VIP.

Very wealthy. Her father

owns all the art galleries

in New York.

Wow! Hey, I would

love to meet her.

Oh, actually she is

looking for a boyfriend.

Hello citizens, Theresa

Battensby with the news.

Our head of covert operations,

Lieutenant Daniel Winthrop,

has let us know that,

well, what you're seeing is

a mirage in the sky,

a blurring of lines

due to unusual weather.

A blurring of lines in the sky?

I told you it would be

something like that.

They try to make

everything ordinary.

So, you worked at the

bank for five months?

Yes, I did.

Tell me, Denise, why

do you want this job?

Well, to make money.

Although, I'm really

nervous about this

whole sky situation.

Have you noticed it?

If you were sitting in a

typical office, which type of

celebrity person would

you most like to sit by?

A. A politician.

B. A music star.

Or C. A sports figure?

My first choice would

probably be Sylvia Plath.

She's a poet.

C. A sports figure.

A. A politician.

B. A music star.

Hermann Hesse's

work is very interesting.

What happened?

What happened?

He said she stole,

but she didn't.

- You called an ambulance?

- Yeah, we did.

But we don't sh**t

people for stealing.

Now we do.

Your shoes are very clean.

Hello, Citizens.

In these times of

strangeness, both in the

sky and on the ground,

it is great to know that we

are protecting that ground,

that the ground is

ours and always will be.

Hey.

Hey -We met.

- Yes.

- I'm glad you remember.

Umm I'm doing okay,

if you want to know.

Very well, as a matter of fact.

And you?

I just saw a woman get shot.

I'm sorry to hear that.

And there are two moons

in the sky in the daytime.

I think it's great.

Everything has to

be re-examined.

It's like during

the Renaissance,

when they realized

that the Earth

was not the center

of the universe

everything had

to be re-evaluated.

You may find this

interesting, you may not.

I write poems.

What you think about

the two moons,

I thought about one.

I said, what is that up there?

And what am I down here?

I heard they're going

to start a new w*r.

Of course, they are.

What do you mean, of course?

Well, if we fight a w*r,

We're not going to be looking

up at the moons, are we?

I may as well just leave.

Listen, Denise,

before you go anywhere,

you should realize

those moons are an announcement.

They're saying,

wake the f*ck up.

You people down

there, you're hiding

behind what's familiar.

But it's disappointing.

So, wake up.

I like your positivity.

Well, anytime you want to talk,

you just come by

the bird sanctuary.

What do you do there?

I'm a janitor who

speaks bird talk.

Okay?

Okay. There we are.

Professor?

Oh, Diana, hi.

I was just taking a

break after classes.

As I like this park,

it calms me down.

I like the park, too.

But did you notice the

moons and the sky?

I see them.

I was feeling dizzy.

I don't think it's the

moons and the sky.

I take the equilibrium pills.

Now I'm okay.

The equilibrium pills?

You don't need to take them.

It's mind over matter.

Oh, Denise.

I'm afraid you have to move out.

Kim's moving in.

What?

Oh, don't worry,

it's not a committed

relationship.

I wasn't worried about that.

I'm so sorry, Denise,

my VIP art world guest

Phoebe will be staying here.

Uhh I'll get unemployment.

They are cutting it out.

Have you read:

"The Poor Are Living It Up

at Your Expense?"

It's a best seller

where I come from.

Here are your pills.

They came in the post today.

I am not taking pills

from the government.

Why are you looking

at me like that?

You act as if it's my fault

you can't stay here anymore.

It is.

Always blaming someone else

for your lack of

ability to function.

Typical

victim thinking,

Chapter 13.

And why is this happening?

Well, see you at

my installation.

Right now, I have to pick up

Phoebe from the airport.

Come, Kim.

Ciao for now.

Hello everyone,

welcome, welcome, welcome.

Beautiful.

Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah!

Who's that? Yummy.

Hi, care for some more?

Please, please.

Hi, I'm Bruce.

You will see more

of me in a moment.

I'll look forward to that.

Um, waiter?

- Thank you.

- Of course.

Here you go.

As you see by my work,

I think of myself as

fiercely individual.

Everyone everyone!

This is Phoebe Van Vleck.

Amazing artist, philanthropist,

a friend of Universe,

and now a friend of mine.

Welcome welcome!

So excited to be here.

When I first saw

this work of Xenia,

I thought, this is genius!

And now my poet friend

Adrian will recite

a quick poem to

get the evening started.

Thank you, Xenia.

This is my poem.

Ow!

Another performer?

Yes!

What if the global w*r

is a good thing?

We're way too many,

and all this garbage every...

What are you doing?

This was a very

important journalist.

And did you just hear what

he said about my work?

I don't care.

The government says

you have to give me

a month's notice. So you are not

kicking me out, okay?

Oh, that's Cybelle,

as you know. Kim's sister.

Cybelle, what is your

brother doing in a uniform?

He was drafted.

Listen Denise, no offense,

but the VIP's staying over, and

Kim and I have

to have a quality time.

So those are your

bags over there,

and we will discuss

things later when it's

more convenient for me!

Ciao for now!

We will probably

create a new mankind.

Don't follow me, Denise.

You're ruining my reputation.

Reputation? Did you

look up in the sky lately?

Look, you know they don't

like me at the bank because

of my unusual look.

Now don't make it

worse for me, okay?

There are rumors there

might be a w*r entering.

This is a neutral country.

Is that an American

football jersey you're wearing?

This is the only way I

could keep my apartment.

Bruce and Beat were threatening

to kick me out again.

Now they are Americanizing.

Denise, did you ever try

to get another job?

Yeah, I did. I tried.

But, you know, I tried, but I

f*cked it up by

talking about poetry.

But I can't help it, Patrick,

it's just also

inconsequential anyway.

I mean, did you even

look at the sky today?

Did you see what

is going on out there?

I see it.

Who will know the

world before it goes?

Listen,

if you never mentioned again

how much you hate football,

well, Bruce and Beat, they

might let you stay with us.

On the yard line

No, return by Ricky McNeil!

Ricky goes left.

Ricky, gets a block.

Ricky has another block.

Ricky McNeil!

No flags.

Touchdown,

Cowboys!

An answered prayer.

Cowboys are ahead. Oh, yeah!

Where are they going?

Hey, out!

I said, 'stay in your rooms

until your dad is back, okay?'

I'm watching them for

some extra money.

You are a no talent.

Guys like you have no talent.

Zero talent.

Are you telling me that?

With my education,

sensitivity and smarts?

With my looks and talent

you claim I will

fail in Hollywood?

Hah!

Are you really arguing

with 12-year-olds

about your career?

Lousy clown.

Did you sneak some of my coke?

It might have happened, Bruce.

Yeah. Next thing I know,

you'll be stealing money.

Beat, Beat!

Yes, dude?

Check our pockets and see

if there's any money missing.

Yes, yes.

Phoebe, who's a winner,

told me about people like you.

There's a reason

you got kicked out of

your corner in that

apartment, Denise.

Ouch!

Tom?

Hey!

Hi!

Hey, good to see you.

I came back. I might

need a place to stay.

I threw a book at somebody.

Congratulations.

Immediately gratifying.

Not quite sure

how it's going to serve

me in the long run.

It's just, um

I have a hard time adjusting.

That's not so bad.

You get to think

your own thoughts.

It's like I keep pounding

on these glass doors.

But when I look through them,

I really don't want

to be on the other side.

I mean, I'm doomed

to be this misfit.

But you're not, you know.

Last night, Bruce and

Beat were up all night,

watching these men in helmets,

thinking about getting a ball.

And I kept thinking to myself,

There are two moons in the sky!

Maybe you should think

about football a different way.

Yeah. Yeah, he's right.

Think about it.

I mean, American football, yeah?

You've got the ball,

you're running

through the field, you're

trying to get through the

obstacles, trying to

get around them,

trying to get through them

and you're running, running,

running, but you know what?

The running is not about scoring

a touchdown,

it's about survival.

And the ball

Now, the ball

Is your soul.

But what if the

ball is just a ball?

Well, this is what

we call home now.

Come in.

What did you used to call home?

Um yes

I'll take his.

Me and my mom in the

w*r um, I got hurt.

Never mind how.

And I was waking up

on this boat.

Tom was helping people to

get away from the w*r.

Tom's married?

Oh, no. Um but

they were together.

She's a lot different

than him and um

He was still pretty upset

when they broke up.

Yeah.

But I really shouldn't

talk about it.

I'll give you my

couch for tonight.

I'll just sleep on this.

That's nice.

Tom's got the other room.

He works in there.

And Wes is out there too.

You know, Tom, he took him in.

Did you see my book collection?

Some of the books

are from my dad.

He's been everywhere.

Where is your dad now?

Hey, Wes, we're okay.

We have to leave soon.

Something is going on here.

Something is going on, and

nobody is talking about it.

We don't have earthquakes here.

Maybe no one knows.

Oh, no, people know.

People know, but they're

just not talking about it.

Things are happening.

Little things are trickling in.

People may not talk about it.

Who will know the

world before it goes?

Once I had this dream, and

it was right after my dad died.

And in my dream, it was morning,

but there was no sun in the sky.

But my dad, he was

getting up and getting

dressed for work as if

everything was normal.

And I said to him,

"But, Dad, don't you

know that there

is no sun in the sky?"

Those moons

are an announcement!

They're saying,

"Wake the f*ck up."

Hello citizens,

this is Theresa Battensby

with news from

our triumphant w*r.

Let's speak to young

Davy Milburn,

off to do his duty and

shipping out tomorrow.

So young Davy, how do you feel

about shipping out tomorrow?

I'm actually very scared.

And are you clear

on the reasons why

we need you to fight?

Truth be told...

News from our triumphant w*r.

Well, that

explains a lot.

That kid sounds scared.

Not me.

I'm like my dad.

I'm not scared of nothing.

And I don't go all crazy

about it either like Wes.

Hey, listen.

I saw Tom playing this

old music this morning.

Yeah, he plays that music a lot.

I guess it helps him.

He's been pretty upset

since he got kicked out

of his place.

He did?

Well, you know how it feels.

You just got

kicked out of yours.

Hey, listen.

Just because I just

lost my apartment

does not mean that

I'm some sort of refugee.

Not that I have any

problem with them,

but you know.

You don't have to

explain yourself.

I've gone from place

to place all my life.

What did you do before the w*r?

Don't tell me you

worked in a bank.

No, I worked fixing computers.

Andre said you got injured.

Nothing serious.

But you spent some

time in a hospital.

And that's where

you met the nurse?

Oh, you don't

have to answer that.

I always ask way too

many personal questions.

No um it's all right.

I loved her.

And I came here, to

her country, with her,

in this neutral country.

I have a plan.

What kind of a plan?

Writing a book plan.

You know, the moons in

the sky are a message, right?

I want people

to see this message.

I want to enact change.

And I'm gonna do this

with a book of poems.

Poems?

Yes,

it will change the world.

I gotta go.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Hello citizens,

there are 4,000 dead,

and we are ahead.

Hey, Denise.

What's shaking?

What is that? What

are you guys doing?

Remember that book

you threw at me?

Well, I have involved my lawyer.

What are you gonna do?

I don't have anything.

What are you

doing anyway, Denise,

walking around free.

Huh?

There's a warrant out for you.

Didn't you know that?

Why? I haven't done anything.

No, you haven't, Denise,

and that's the problem.

You haven't done anything

you were supposed to do.

Not taking your

equilibrium pills,

not being quiet,

not having a house,

not being rich.

Yeah.

You should have

grown up, Denise,

we are no longer clowns.

We have worked hard,

networked, kissed up,

and now we are

traveling to America

to become Power Influencers.

Regarding you,

I'm making a phone call.

Hey, f*cking termite!

- Give me my phone!

- Hey,

picking on a

disadvantaged person!

I gotta f*cking sue you!

I gotta f*cking

sue you, assh*le!

Changes come, let it go.

But don't change me back.

Did you see that?

Yeah. Same as before.

What do you mean?

Um can't really say.

Gianni!

Gianni!

Gianni,

what are you doing with her?

Oh God, she's got an

animal tail on her purse.

Listen, I need to stay

a few nights on your couch.

I totally would, but I

You look like some

homeless woman.

I'll tell you, they're

cleaning everything

and everyone up now.

Listen, I just need to talk

for a few minutes alone...

- I...

- With Gianni until...

Well, you can't!

Gianni's romantically

accompanying me

on the rest of my Euro trip.

We... come along, we have to go.

We have to catch the train.

I had to get away, see?

Adrian left already.

What do you mean?

He's with the group

in the mountains.

Didn't you know?

We're all on the

government reject list.

You too, Denise.

Now come on, we've got to go.

I'll be looking out

for you, Denise.

Dear citizens,

you can easily notify us

about uncooperative citizens.

We will carefully help them

to adjust.

That's Patrick's desk.

Wrong.

Nope!

Did he get a promotion?

Do you really think

that I'm below him?

Wrong.

Your shoes,

They're not correct.

You need to get out now.

No.

Where's Patrick?

I can't be seen with you.

I said, "Get away!"

I said, "Where's Patrick?"

He is on the list.

Why are you falling down?

I'm not.

Yes, you are.

You are, I saw you,

you just fell.

Don't tell anyone!

Why?

There's obviously

something going wrong,

so why can't we talk about it?

Because they'll think I'm weird.

They'll put me on the

list like you and Patrick.

Where's Patrick?

JAIL!

They hauled him

away this morning!

What's going on?

Things have gotten worse.

My friend Patrick's in jail.

I'm on some sort of list.

Can you go with me to the jail?

Can you bribe

somebody to get him out?

Come with me.

Look,

this is my book.

For the past two days,

I've written 10 more poems.

They just came to me,

just like you came to me.

Everything is part of all of it.

All of what?

The universe.

Not the one we made,

but the real one.

And it has a purpose.

What purpose?

A while ago, I tried to

do this horrible thing.

It was a cowardly thing.

When my brother died,

I tried to k*ll myself.

And as I was cutting my

wrists, I saw the moons.

And the moons mean hope!

Hope? Have you even

looked around lately?

Yes.

And as that strange

sky descends on us,

black, endless, unexplainable,

it's still there.

And all of us are

going to look into it.

And we will see poetry.

Hello.

We're all going to

be leaving soon!

Hey Denise, aren't you cold?

Come here.

Thank you, Andre.

Where's Tom?

He had to work.

And then he's going to

meet me back here.

And he's gonna try to

get Patrick out of jail,

and then we're

gonna all have dinner,

and we're all gonna talk,

you, me, and Patrick.

I feel so happy.

You're welcome here, and

I don't want Tom to be alone.

I'm gonna be gone soon, so

Why?

You know that letter that I got?

I'm supposed to

go fight in the w*r.

You, you can't fight in the w*r.

I mean, you

Oh, they take anyone now.

I'm not like Tom.

He doesn't believe in countries,

but I want to go home someday,

and my mom always used to say

you had to do your

duties, like my dad.

But you...

They give you tests

for those, right?

And you can mess up

on those tests.

I mean, where did you

I get that letter from?

Goodbye, Denise.

Excellent.

There seems to be some mistake.

A friend of mine's

son is disabled.

And he can't fight in the army.

What is your name?

Xenia Papadeas.

She's wearing the wrong shoes.

ID?

I'm going up to the

mountains. I have a job.

It's private.

Possible I could get a ride?

f*ck.

It's a good outfit, by the way.

I'm not getting

in the car with you.

Why should I even trust you? I'm

still not sure what

side you're on.

As far as I know, you're

still a revolutionary.

Tom?

I tried.

But I was unable

to get to Patrick.

I don't know where he is.

I don't know if they have him?

I don't know if he's a prisoner?

I don't know if they freed him?

We cannot come back.

and

blink and they are.

What you are seeing

is a blurring

You look upset.

I am upset.

Well, me too. Some reject

went to the recruiting office,

they tried to say they were me.

I had to come clear it up.

He left.

The janitor?

Oh, I could have told you that.

All insincere from

those countries.

He went to save somebody.

Clearly not you.

Anyway, come with me.

I have to go find

Patrick. He's in jail.

You can stay in the

apartment again.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Don't get carried away, okay?

What about Adrian

being on some list?

I saw Gianni, and...

They left for somewhere

with that group.

They're all against the w*r.

The best thing you

can do now is to fit in.

I'm gonna

I'm getting rid of my poetry.

I'm gonna be normal.

In the chilly hours & minutes.

Of uncertainty, I want to be

in the warm hold

of your loving mind.

To feel you all around me.

And to take your hand,

along the sand.

Ah, but I may as well

try and catch the wind.

When sundown pales the sky

I want to hide a while,

behind your smile.

And everywhere I'd look,

your eyes I'd find.

For me to love you now.

Would be the sweetest thing

That would make me sing.

You know, that line is

gonna move pretty soon.

And it's gonna cover

the whole crazy sky.

It won't cover it for long.

How do you know about that?

From a time warp!

You just showed up one day.

I guess you could say that.

Yeah, maybe I am

from a time warp.

But I'm sure I could say

the same about you.

Here, I mean, flower power.

"Dandelions don't

tell no lies", baby.

- I sure...

- Eduardo knows what he's doing.

And it's working.

I doubt it, Wes,

because I'm the one

that told you and

all the others what to do.

It's called action.

Pew pew!

You think laying

around in a field,

humming mantras is

gonna stop the black shoes?

I got Anna on my side, right?

Yeah, man, Anna is nuts.

No, you are nuts. He is cool.

- Look, Eduardo said...

- Hey, f*ck off, Wes.

You and Eduardo and time

warp freak over here, the

flower power freak of the

year. You just can f*ck off.

Okay, whatever. Go for it.

Blow up everything with

your grenades, Benjamin.

Hey, hey, hey, Eduardo.

I'm on the way to

the fascist retreat.

And I can't wait to mess

with that pretentious

fake tinfoil artist.

What's her name again?

Xylitol, Xenia.

Ah, Denise, finally, you

come back in again.

We want to play games.

You didn't have to wait for me.

Ooh, who's that?

Yes, I already saw him.

He's a little older,

more refined,

better than Gianni!

Well, poor Denise, she's

feeling a little bit funny

ever since she had the

close call with the janitor.

Thank God she has a job again.

Xenia and Universe

were so kind to let...

Yeah, well, we had to

let her back in again

because things didn't

work out with Kim.

Completely different world view.

Where's Kim now?

What happened to him?

- He joined up...

- He is dead!

Dead.

Well, it's so good having

the holidays, isn't it?

I've been really working

on my next installation.

May I join you beautiful people?

That's that strange woman.

So, anyone is

interested with me to

check out what's

happening in the news?

Shall I turn it on?

No, because the news

won't tell you about the...

About the line in the sky?

Yes, there is a line in the sky.

Thank you.

May I suggest?

No, you may not suggest anything

because you're not

part of this group.

Enough!

- Let the music play.

- Yes!

Good morning.

Hi.

What do you think about the sky?

Well,

I think it's scary.

Scary because of

the two moons or

because of the line

covering the sky?

Well, they cover the sky,

so we won't be so afraid.

I'm not afraid, are you?

Tom.

Yeah?

I saw her.

I told you it was her.

She's here on some

holiday with some others.

And she was dancing.

How could you be

dancing right now?

You don't know her situation.

Best to leave her alone.

She probably doesn't

even know we're here.

I'm gonna check that report.

I'm gonna see if

they've done it yet.

You think they'd

tell us if they had.

The construction

of the wall across the sky,

which protects us

from distraction and

from anything other than

what we want to know

has progressed and should be

completed within the month.

In other news, there are

five thousand...

Tarak.

Hey, Denise.

Where are you going?

I don't know about you, but

I've had it in those fakes.

I'm leaving.

But where are you going to go?

There's nowhere that's safe.

Living inside a big lie of a

machine is what's dangerous.

I'll be seeing you.

I have been bought,

I have been sold in the city

I've dined with the demons,

and I drank of their fear

We are hiding out.

The whole group of us.

We barely got out, Denise.

We started this little group

here in the mountains.

The head is Eduardo.

But he is a socialite.

No he's not.

He is a physicist,

a revolutionary.

But we can't go back.

All the houses are falling down.

But are you

making them fall?

Told you, I'll be seeing you.

Are you

blowing them up?

Sshh.

What are you all doing here?

There's warrants out

for your arrest.

Those clowns turned us in.

Bruce and Beat?

Listen, Denise.

Join us.

There is this group

started by Eduardo.

But he's a socialite.

No, he fakes it.

He's undercover at the hotel.

And there's my friend

from the 1960s.

I had a dream and

you all were in it.

Yeah.

Yeah, you had a dream and.

Arnbjorg, she's a physicist.

We call this guy Mr. Time Warp.

And Ariane, same time

warp as you can see.

Listen, Denise.

Everybody who didn't

fall for it, the lies,

is hiding here,

in the mountains.

No, but listen, I can't,

I can't join you. I

I'm trying to be normal.

Doing what?

I got a job at a

computer company.

There are hundreds

of us in the forest.

They are trying to take

away our very sky, Denise.

We have to go.

I saw some lights.

Okay.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

Come on.

Hold on.

Go on.

Listen, Denise.

Please, join us.

Okay.

But I think we need

to focus harder.

It's not enough.

Focus hocus pocus.

Laying around on the ground?

It ain't gonna work!

Well, it worked.

Basically, all we have to do is

make a real move, all right?

I got g*ns, I got grenades, I'm

telling everybody,

I already got it!

We go down, we take

on the black shoes.

Wipe them clean out, boom!

We use our energy,

that's how it should work.

Not with v*olence and g*ns.

Flower power.

For you!

I know that you don't

believe in these things.

So, you better take

your flower back.

Oh, thank you.

Hey, you want?

I don't like flowers.

Okay.

This is the point where

everybody lays down.

Start your chanting.

Energy can do a lot of things.

I give up.

Call out the instigators.

Because there's

something in the air.

See you later, okay?

Yeah, see ya.

Anton.

I'm a central part of

the revolution now.

Don't get your hopes up.

I'm seeing someone else.

No.

Mm-hmm We'll see.

See ya later.

Denise, thanks a million.

Thanks a million.

And who's this?

I want to help.

Her brother died in the w*r.

Oh, oh, I'm so sorry.

I brought supplies.

I'll come back with

them one or two days.

Yeah, gives some to the

writer and the kid with the...

With the no arm.

They're over there

in the trailer.

They're not with us, but

you should go over there.

Yeah, he probably sees

things aren't so hunky-dory.

Yeah, he stays to himself.

In that trailer?

Yes.

Who are those people?

We are f*cked!

Ah!

Tell her to let go,

for God's sake!

Adrian!

We are not safe with you!

I've known about

your group forever,

and I haven't told

the authorities.

Denise, let's go back,

it's not safe with these people.

Cybelle!

Denise, you just

got your life together.

You fit now!

Wind, wind, blow wind

When the cool summer wind.

Sends a chill down my spine.

And I long for my love

deep within.

I know he is gone.

But my love lingers on.

In a dream that the wind

comes to me.

Oh how kitsch!

Let, let, let me out!

Just let me out! Let me out!

Let me out!

- Hi!

Let's leave her

She lost her mind!

You must know, but, uh

You're standing on a stump.

You look like a f*cking idiot.

Well, won't be the first

time I've heard that.

Well, I'm kind of

sorry about that,

because I thought

you were a soldier.

Yeah, I used to be a soldier.

I don't do that anymore.

And pretty soon, you ain't

even gonna have a sky no more.

Well, I mean, they

might cover the

sky up, but we'll

still know it exists.

You know, I get it with Wes,

up and away and everything.

I had my family, too.

They're all dead

in one of the wars.

I don't follow leaders anymore

just ideas.

Yeah, but everybody's gonna get

used to seeing

nothing but blackness.

I don't trust him.

How did you come

to be here, Tarak?

Eduardo, he was, uh

Teaching at university.

When they rounded

up all the professors.

I was a student.

He's the one who told

me about this place

before he got away.

How did you meet Xenia?

Oh.

Around She's very beautiful.

But I'm here!

It's all good.

They know it's us!

What should I tell them?

That we should leave here?

There're other places

we can go, I...

We have to stay!

My family farm in Iceland?

Gonna let a few of

these fools change us?

Okay, we have a problem.

You, Tarak, you stay here and

keep things going, okay?

Hello, citizens.

Executions will be held

at 10 a.m. on Friday

and are free for those

who want to attend.

Halt hands up!

Oh, chill, my friend.

I know him.

Eduardo, what

are you doing here?

Well, yourself told me

that I'm crazy with my

energy thing and the

group in the mountains.

But this guy and the

other soldiers out there

seem to take it seriously.

Maybe not that crazy!

I'm here to ask you a favor.

I have friends out there,

and some of them

are getting shot.

Please,

please !

You've got five minutes to

get out of here before I

do what I've got to do.

Do the right thing.

Oh!

Okay.

But remember this.

The universe is way

bigger than you.

Much bigger.

Detain him!

What?

What the...

What the f*ck?

What the f*ck?

Come... come!

An exciting alert:

Three members of

the anarchist group,

who we have long

suspected have been in hiding,

have been arrested.

This was helped by

emerging star party

member Diana Lewis.

Yes, I helped bring them in.

A professor who

has long been uncooperative

with the Order of Things.

Of course, I work with

the Order of Things.

Under Lieutenant Daniel Winthrop

as is correct for a woman.

He congratulated me and

told me I did a good job.

It is great that there is

less and less disorder,

uncertainty, and wondering.

Oh, there's no need to wonder.

We know everything.

We know.

Hmm.

The Three Musketeers.

My little friends.

You know, I saw your mug sh*ts.

They were really cute.

Especially you, very handsome.

In fact, you know,

I thought maybe

I'd give somebody

a flower, you know.

You?

- Don't need a flower, do you?

- Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

How about you, a flower, man?

You can take it like this.

You could be a clown!

You want it?

That was cool.

Here, put it up here.

Okay.

Where is it?

Is that it?

It is a little light.

Good God.

What about the other one?

Ah, she's out there somewhere.

I'll catch up with

her sooner or later.

I gotta go. Adios.

g*dd*mn sons of b*tches.

Ugh!

Ugh!

They found me.

Who found you?

They'll come here, it says so.

I'm supposed to

report for service.

You wrote to her.

Who's her?

His mother.

She was very interested in

my brother being a martyr.

My father was a hero.

Andre.

Your father, my brother

who I loved dearly,

an 18-year-old, stir-crazy,

snow-blind kid

sent to replace him,

thought he was the

enemy, and shot

an incendiary

round into his face.

That is not a

glorious way to go.

My mother was right.

You want me to stay here,

be a traitor like you,

a loser with nothing,

you have nothing, Tom, nothing.

We don't have shadows.

What? That cannot be true.

What has he done?

You've lost my paper.

It was supposed to

tell me where I should go.

It's like we don't

even exist anymore.

No

No, I exist I exist!

Look.

Have finished my book.

People will read this, they will

look up, and wars will end.

Tom, you are not going to

change anything

with your writing.

It's the truth.

The world is based on getting

people to do what

they don't want to do,

and getting people to think

that they want to do them.

Picasso painted Guernica.

People looked at it...

They were horrified,

and then they

went back to doing

the exact same thing

that was in the painting.

Anyway, who is going to

believe what you write?

Who even knows who you are?

I'll I'll read it out loud.

Then they're going

to send you to jail.

I don't care.

Tom.

What are you doing?

Deluded.

Just deluded. You're all just

Deluded, you're all just hiding.

I'm not hiding. I'm

doing something.

Don't you understand

that you are just a

tiny speck on the

edge of the universe?

And the only thing that

you can do is try to survive.

Let me see your wrists.

I love you.

I feel bad for you.

I feel very bad for you

living at the edge

of all of this.

Trying to find light

in the darkness.

I have to go deal

with what's real.

We have to ask

ourselves one question.

What exactly is real?

Loser!

Tomorrow we talk about

future opportunities.

Winner!

Has Patrick been released?

He's been extinguished.

What do you mean?

Loser!

Yes.

Loser.

Loser! Loser!

Loser!

- I'm trying to be normal!

- Denise...

Come on, Denise!

You are a traitor.

You are a traitor, Denise.

I'm turning all of you in.

Denise!

Good, good, good, good.

I have a letter for you

from your aunt.

I have it here in my bag.

It's a check.

And uh for getting you all

started again in the village.

- And she says that they...

- Yes!

No more living in limbo

I can finally get started again.

Did you know that Kim

was k*lled during the w*r?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, we all kind of knew that.

But I didn't!

Uh, I'm so sorry,

Xenia, but um...

But, you know,

I heard rumors that

the sun isn't

coming up tomorrow.

The sun is not

coming up tomorrow!

- Is that right?

- Listen,

you don't want to spend

your last day in the sun

firing missiles at people

you don't even know.

It's another nutcase from

off the street, George.

- How many have there been?

- Millions!

Tom, I'm okay with this.

You better go. You

better leave before they...

- No, no, no.

- Get back!

- Come with me.

- No, Tom, I want to stay here.

Why are you doing this?

I'm going to fight a w*r on

the whole other side

of the world.

But why are you doing this?

I get to see the North Pole.

I get to see everything.

Why are you really doing this?

You go on, Tom.

Yes, you go on, Tom.

Yes, yes.

Tom, let go.

Is this young man enlisted?

Yes, he's signed.

Excellent.

Then he's ours.

I've seen this man before.

I know his face.

Remember, we're normal.

Try to be normal.

Okay? You got this.

Because I'm normal.

So normal.

We're normal.

- How...

- Normal.

- How did he...

- Normal.

Normal.

I'm normal.

- So normal.

- Come back.

- Normal!

- Denise,

Denise, come back!

Deni...

Denise!

Patrick!

Denise you gotta make

your way in the world.

I'm trying.

But you keep failing to adjust.

I myself have managed to adapt.

To this?

Who will know the

world before it goes.

Just leave then.

Leave the world.

Go!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Excuse me, do you know

where the executions

are being held?

Hello citizens, the

line across the sky

has progressed, but

it's very dark out.

They ripped up my book.

I told you they'd do that.

I'm gonna write another one.

Maybe one that's more

appealing to the masses.

So, be aware!

What a weird place to be.

Yeah, very.

Little challenging.

You're crazy.

See truth behind everything.

Then what do you do?

I write it.

Yeah, well, what if

nobody wants to read it?

I still write it.

Why?

Because I have hope.

Why do you see and I don't, Tom?

Why do you see it and

I don't Tom!

Tom! Tom!

Don't worry.

Which just has to show,

even the most shocking

rebels can be infiltrated.

Stand still.

Leave now!

Leave.

Leave now!

Backup.

Backup.

Backup.

We need backup.

Wes, no!

Shit

- Put it down, man!

- Don't move!

It's over!

No!

Stand up.

Stand up.

Let's go. Come on, people.

Let's get this show on the road.

Come on, let's go. Let's go.

Let's get it moving.

Come on. Let's go.

Let's do something

there. Come on.

Come on. Let's go. Come on.

Let's go. Come on. Come on.

Here we go. Come on. Come on.

Come on. Let's go. Come on.

Come on!

Oh, come now. Let's go.

You've got to come.

Come with me now.

Come with me now.

Oh, whoa. Okay. Go!

You go forward. I'll catch up.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah, man.

Let's get it right

this time, shall we?

Tom!

He'll catch up.

We all do what we have to do.

Hmm

Our fate is our fate.

Let's go.
