Nemesis Game

>> Hi, Emily.

Didn't need to be like this,

did it?

Emily Gray.

First class honors, high school.

Graduated, Vancouver.

Everything seems to have gone

on pretty swimmingly until 1995.

Then 1996 comes along and...wow!

You tried to drown a little boy

in the lake...

out of the blue.

You served five years for that.

You're out for only one, and

then this mess.

You want to tell me what's

going on?

I mean, you do, right?

That's...why you confessed.

I'm all ears, Emily.

You got something worth saying,

let's hear it.

What...the hell...happened?

>> What if I told you that I

knew the meaning of life?

>>

>> The thing you have to

understand is...either

everything has meaning or

nothing does.

Look around.

Life is just an accident, man.

Random collision of particles

in space.

Any meaning it has, is only one

we've given it ourselves.

Just like a riddle.

What do the poor have that the

rich want and God fears?

Like death or love or God, the

answer to the riddle all

depends on how you look at

things.

What the poor have, that the

rich want that God

fears...simple...

>> Nothing.

That is so for real.

It's...it's

like everything is just one big

puzzle in your mind.

>> Mmhm.

>>

>>

>> And every mind is different.

>>

>> VERN: You were late.

>> SARA: I got sidetracked.

>>

>> Buildings have alarms but

there's no on-site security.

>>

>> VERN: Go.

>>

>> What demands an answer but

asks no question?

>>

>>

>> MAN:

Okay, Sara.

Are you ready for this?

It's in, kind of, a strange

place.

>> Thanks for the tip, Dad.

What's the next clue?

>>

You're holding it.

You're one strange puppy.

You know that, lady, for using

that story.

You're the first person I met,

into this shit, that's not a

kid or a freak like me.

>>

Well, if you want to see the

world differently, you have to

practice seeing it differently.

>> Whatever rows your boat,

baby.

By the way, you got three

minutes to go.

>>

>> SARA: "Just keep letters that

win this race and find your

final resting place."

Letters that win this

race...first

letters...

phone number!

J, k, l.

J, k, l.

"That win this race."

>>

>> Come on.

>>

>>

>> Find your final resting

place.

>>

>> Gotcha.

>>

>>

>> MAN: What is life?

Who are we?

Why are we?

Why do things happen the way

they happen?

Today in our philosophy

discussion we'll be looking at

three key figures.

Aristotle, Descartes and

Nietzsche.

Three different men with three

very different views of the

world.

>> Novak!

Hey, Novak!

I just want to tell you how

moved I was by what you said

the other day in class.

Phew!

All that stuff about the nature

of reality and everything...it

really touched me, you know.

And I thought that maybe you

and I could go out sometime and

discuss it a little more in

depth?

>> Thanks, Curran, but I think

I'll pass.

>> Ooh...I'm serious.

You know Marie, right?

We've got this little study

group going and we both very

much value your input.

But, I have to say that it's

not so much a...metaphysical

thing as it were.

It's really more a hands on,

you know?

So how about it?

Would you be interested in a

group learning experience?

>> Oh, come on!

It was just a question.

>> Curran, have you ever

stopped to wonder why none of

the little games you play ever

work or do you just figure it's

a hygiene problem?

>> Hey, I'm only responding to

all your dirty little signals,

honeysuckle.

>>

Well, re-adjust

you radar, Romeo.

>> Okay, so maybe I got you all

wrong.

But at least I'm not the one

lugging some big dark secret

around with me all the time.

Hmm?

You got a secret, Novak.

The whole school practically

knows it.

>> Hmm.

Let me guess...I'm

a closet nymphomaniac?

>> Oh...ah!

Twice a week you drive a car to

school but then take the subway

home at night...and

then back the next morning.

So that means you must be

going somewhere you don't want

your car to be seen--right?

I guess, uh, little miss angel

isn't such an angel after all.

So come on, tell me, where do

you go when you catch the train?

>>

>>

>>

>> MAN: All right, people.

As most of you know the lousy

bastards that pay our minimum

wage have sprung for the

proceedings this evening--their

way of saying thanks for doing

a good job.
