(birds chirping)

- Rarr!

(Axel Jr. shrieking)

(both laughing)

(Marianne speaking Norwegian)

- Ah, how old is he now?

- [Marianne] He's six.

- Yeah.

(water lapping)

(birds chirping)

All right, I'm gonna

ask you one more time.

What's the matter?

Leonard leaving

you or something?

- No, I mean, not

that I know of, no.

(both laughing)

Um,

it's um,

I'm pregnant again.

- Well, congratulations.

- [Marianne] Really?

- Does Leonard know?

- No.

- Why not?

- Because I know

he'd want me to

Get rid of it.

- Why?

- You know, behind all of his,

bohemian ideals or

whatever you wanna call it,

he's quite a

conservative man who

Does not want a child

that isn't Jewish.

Neither does his mother, so.

And I'll have to talk

to him, but you know,

he just has to make it and

- Make what?

If he doesn't want the child

that he can have with you,

but he wants the success

that he can have without you?

I have the address for a

pretty decent doctor in Athens,

if you want it,

just let me know.

(Axel Jr. Shouting in Norwegian)

- Oi!

- Oh, he got one. (laughing)

(Marianne speaking Norwegian)

- [Charmian] Ooh, look at him!

- [Marianne] Wow!

- Oh, he's a big guy!

(both laughing)

Good luck.

- [Announcer] Good evening.

Please help me welcome

Canada's most promising poet

and novelist with

"Beautiful Losers,"

Mr. Leonard Cohen.

(audience applauding)

- Good evening.

Please help me welcome

Canada's most overrated poet,

(audience chuckling)

and most insufferable novelist,

with his disaster,

"Beautiful Losers,"

Mr. Leniard Curib.

(audience laughing)

""Why have you allowed

yourself to be robbed?

Why do you always

try to humiliate me?'

I asked him so solemnly

that I scared myself.

He stood up, covered the model

with a plastic Remington

typewriter cover.

He did this so gently,

with a kind of pain."

- It was fantastic.

You seduced every

f*cking one of them.

- There were more people in

there than bought the book.

- This book is the book of the

year according to "The Star."

- You know, someone

else said it was,

"The most revolting book to

ever come out of Canada."

- Hm.

- 400 copies.

- Mr. Cohen?

- Mad.

- Maybe the next

time, you should-

- Mr. Cohen, can

you sign, please?

- Okay. This is from

the documentary?

- Yes.

- Do you like it?

- Oh, I love the bit where

you play guitar and sing.

- Oh, yeah? Thank you.

(background people chattering)

- You see? They love you.

Do you mind?

- That's not really

an issue. Hi.

Oh, it's perfect. Oh,

that's a great copy.

Have a great day.

Oh, thank you very much.

- I didn't see that.

- You know, I'm thinking of, um,

(soft guitar music)

singing my poems, but you

know, for money making.

- Why?

- [Leonard] It works for Dylan.

- Listen, the TV show?

They offered you to host

like an intellectual show.

There's got to be

some money in it,

and you surely want

the fame, right?

- Well, I um, I said no.

- And it's exposure.

You can sell your book.

- Right, but I, I think

I'm too ugly for TV.

That guy from CBC said

that the TV don't lie.

- You're on the hook.

- No, I'm a brilliant

failure, I don't want to.

- You're on the

hook. Look at me.

Fame, I can see it,

you're gonna be famous.

- You want fame.

I don't want fame.

Success is obscene.

- Fame.

- Maybe I'll get

back into hockey.

- [Irving] Oh, God.

- [Leonard] Well, anyhow,

thanks for coming tonight.

- Last night of the tour, of

course I would be here, Lenny.

So, what are you going to do?

You're going back

to Greece or what?

- I don't know, I don't

know that I'm, ah,

I'm much good to

anyone right now.

- Come on.

Jump in.

(car door clicking)

- No, thanks, I'm just gonna

Take a walk.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

- You're doing the

wrong thing, Lenny.

- Yeah, I am.

- You're doing the wrong thing.

- Shalom, man.

I just finished

Don't worry, though, I'm

As best as I can.

I'm working hard to make

And I'm planning a little

I'm going to give

it one more shot

- Ginsberg's idea. He

says you are perfect.

For Christ's sake, Stanley,

don't you have a vacuum

cleaner in the house?

- Yeah, of course,

we got lots of them.

- Then why aren't

they ever used?

- So, why the Chelsea?

- It's your reputation, man.

- Thank you.

- You and the hotel, you know,

I've heard you can stumble in

at four a.m. with a large,

nine-foot-tall, albino bear,

five hookers on your

arm, drunk as a skunk,

and that no one bats an eye.

But the amenities as well.

I just parked outside of the

"Another day, gladiator-battling

God!

Went and got a bag of

weed, drove to Mexico,

you become suicidal.

You're from the

I've got the

reindeer in room 224

if you'd like to take a ride.

- Hm,

and what do you do?

- Well, then, I just escaped

from Verdun Mental Hospital.

Has anyone ever stayed there?

I was visiting a

friend, and I asked him,

"Where can I get a coffee?"

He said, "Downstairs."

It was a hot afternoon,

I remember and I

removed my jacket,

and I left it with my friend,

who, though mentally

ill, was no thief.

But as I was downstairs

drinking my coffee,

two large men in white

uniforms come toward me.

And one of them looks

at me and he says,

"Where are you supposed

to be right now?"

I said, "In the cafeteria."

They nodded to each other.

"Yeah. Where are you

supposed to be right now?"

"In the cafeteria!"

So much so that, after

three or four times

of interrogating me, I

found that I was shouting,

and shoving them aside, and

racing down the corridor,

and they were chasing me,

and I was running upstairs.

And it wasn't until

a guard identified me

that I was allowed to

go back to my friend,

who had eaten my jacket.

(all laughing)

- It's a pleasure to make

your acquaintance, Mr

- Mr. Claus, I thought

we'd been through this.

- I'm the Easter Bunny, and

this is the Tooth Fairy.

(Leonard laughing)

- Which mythological

figure are you?

Both David and Goliath.

If you can hear me, just

don't say anything. (laughing)

I don't know what you

know about me, Leonard.

- Well, she told

me you signed, ah,

Dylan before he

was Mr. Bob Dylan.

- Yes, I did.

I did, I also signed Billie

Holiday, Aretha Franklin.

I signed a lot.

Mostly, I signed artists you

never heard from again, though.

But anyway, either way,

my bosses don't care

what I did yesterday.

They like to play a little game

that's a lot like

baseball, Leonard.

You're Canadian, I can

explain it to you if you like.

They hurl ba*ls at you,

and you swing at the ones

you think are gonna be hits.

If you miss three

times, you're out.

Of course, you can choose

not to swing at them,

but if they become

hits at another label,

well, you're also out.

(background people chattering)

- How many strikes

do you have left?

- Oh, you do know the game.

I have one, Leonard, and

that's you, potentially.

I told my boss I was

thinking of signing you,

and he asked me if I

was out of my mind.

He said, "A

32-year-old poet, huh?"

- Well, I really feel

much older, if that's

any consolation.

- Oh, that's huge, yeah,

that'll help the pitch.

Listen, I like the stuff

you played me, I do.

- Thank you.

- My fear is that you don't

have enough good material.

- I agree with you completely.

I mean, I don't know if

the songs are there yet.

But I have some more

songs that I've written

that I recorded in the bathroom.

It makes my voice a

little more tolerable.

- [John Hammond]

In the bathroom?

- But I have those tapes.

- You do?

- Yeah.

- Well, let's listen to them.

- Do you mean now?

- Yes.

- Okay.

- You're at the Chelsea, yeah?

- [Leonard] Right.

- It's right around

the corner, my friend.

- So, what did he say then?

- He said that I've got it.

- You got what?

- That's what I said.

- You have talent.

That's for sure, you got talent.

- I'm not sure that's

what he was saying.

- You know, American

bullshit, bullshit.

- He said he's talking

with the record company,

and seeing if they'll sign me.

- Just wait, you'll get it.

You always get it, don't you?

- Get what?

- What you need.

You've always gotten

what you need,

in the end.

(background people chattering)

(mellow melodic music)

- [Leonard] I want to

put her in my drink.

- She's a n*zi. She's a German.

But if you absolutely

have to f*ck her,

revenge our people.

- She doesn't like me, Irving,

she said I was too old.

- Oh, she's a German,

you can't trust them.

Why do you want her?

You've got Marianne.

Marianne. (laughing)

Marianne.

- Don't worry, that's what

I'm thinking of all day.

It kills me.

- Yeah.

- I try to write her,

but what, what can you say?

I feel that we need

this kind of distance.

And perhaps, it's a

grotesque justification,

but I feel we're suffocating

a beautiful butterfly.

- Oh, f*cking, Jesus

f*cking Christ, Lenny!

You sound like

Jane Austen.

Give me your hand.

Are you really going up there,

and sing and play in

front of an audience?

- I don't know, I said yes.

I can always smash my

guitar before I go on.

- Don't ever doubt your poetry.

Now can we get some

drugs on the table?

- I know that you can.

And this is what you

wanted, isn't it?

You can, you can be a singer.

- I don't know if I do want it.

I'm afraid that if

I walk out there,

then everything we know is gone.

(gentle orchestral music)

(audience clapping rhythmically)

I suppose I should go.

(audience clapping rhythmically)

- Mm-hm.

(Leonard breathing deeply)

- [Judy] You've all

heard my song, "Suzanne"

on my latest album, thank you.

And tonight, out of the shadows,

I brought the man who wrote

that great song, Leonard Cohen.

(audience cheering

and applauding)

(soft guitar music)

- The guitar has feathers today.

(audience members laughing)

(soft guitar music)

(soft guitar music continues)

Suzanne takes you down ♪

To her place near the river ♪

You can hear the boats go by ♪

You can spend the

night beside her ♪

And you know she's crazy ♪

That's why ♪

(gentle eerie music)

(Leonard breathing heavily)

- Everybody, ah, it's

Leonard's first time

in front of a big audience.

(Leonard breathing heavily)

(door clicking)

Let's see if we can get

him back out here again.

(muffled audience applauding)

(audience cheering

and applauding)

(Leonard breathing heavily)

(soft eerie music)

(audience cheering

and applauding)

I think I'll start

this one, shall I?

(soft guitar music)

Suzanne takes you down ♪

To a place by the river ♪

You can hear the boats go by ♪

You can spend

the night forever ♪

And you know that

she's half crazy ♪

And that's why you

want to be there ♪

And she feeds you

tea and oranges ♪

That come all the

way from China ♪

And just when you

want to tell her ♪

That you have no

love to give her ♪

She gets you on

her wavelength ♪

And lets the river answer ♪

That you've always

been her lover ♪

And you want to

travel with her ♪

You want to travel blind ♪

And you think you'll

maybe trust her ♪

For she's touched

your perfect body ♪

With her mind ♪
