End of the Road

We are the death of politics.

All the powers of the state...

...shall be delivered into the hands of the individual now.

You have only to free yourselves of the neocolonialism of the superego.

...vomit through tears...

A decent respect for the opinions of mankind...

The foundations of American society...

...declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We believe that respect for the law is the cornerstone of a free...

...that governments are instituted among men...

Acid in the throat, the chest...

Zero, that's where we're at- ...new government, laying its foundation...

Let's start from zero.

We must re-establish the principle...

...that people are accountable for what they do.

...here alive, trapped in carpet rooms...

That people are responsible for their crimes.

How can I be sent to hell with my skin and blood...

I'm sorry.

This may sound somewhat theatrical to you...

...but would you mind telling me where I can go for $58.75?

Fifty-eight, seventy-five?

Let's see now.

Would that be coach or Pullman?

Look at him, he's fat and everything.

Amazing.

Skin.

Shit.

Hey, motherfucker, you putting me on?

Catatonia.

You, catatonia.

Catatonia.

Catatonia, catatonia.

No, no, no. Wait, don't go.

Your mother's breast is like cold stone.

What do you want?

Almost there.

Almost where?

The institute. The Institute of Psychic Remobilization.

Some call it "The Farm."

Insanity, young Horner, is the state of the conscious mind...

...that has been flooded by the subconscious mind.

As in a dream, Horner. As in a dream.

In the case of insanity, the dream has become a nightmare.

I would say this to you, sir, keep an open mind.

I know...

I love. I love.

- What was that all about? - Doing his thing, boy.

- Each of them doing his thing. - I love. He loves. We love.

The categorical imperative, as formulated by the late great Immanuel Kant...

...can no longer obtain.

Watch it.

No, no, it is not real. Cause, perhaps, but no effect.

I love. He loves. We love.

Doing his own thing, Horner. Doing his own thing.

Love. Love. Love.

Love is the sweetest thing.

Love is the only thing.

I love to love.

He loves to love.

Who are these people?

They are the abandoned. Those who are considered hopeless.

Hopeless? Then why do you bother?

I have reason to believe that nothing is hopeless.

Love. Love.

But I'm not like these people, doctor.

Precisely, Jacob Horner. You are something else.

Mrs. Dockey. This is Jacob Horner, Mrs. Dockey.

He'll be staying with us awhile.

I wouldn't count on that, doctor.

I'll make a few things very clear, very quickly, Horner.

Have you ever heard a child cry for food?

A tiny child. One, perhaps two weeks old, a little more, little less.

The important thing being that when a child is hungry...

...and a child is hungry often at that age, why then it begins to cry due to pain.

And hunger of an infant is a very real pain indeed, Horner.

It is caused by the walls of the empty stomach touching each other...

...in the presence of the digestive gastric juices.

The result being, of course, that they begin to eat one another.

Now then, consider this:

When the pain... And I refer to the pain of one stomach wall eating the other.

When the pain begins, how soon is it relieved?

It's not the important thing, Horner.

How soon is the pain relieved?

Come, friend of mine. Pay me a visit.

Why do you nod like that?

- Like what? - Just now, you nodded, so.

I was simply acknowledging what you said before.

Acknowledging the fact of what I said, or merely the fact that I said it?

I have no reason to doubt you from either standpoint.

Are you afraid of offending me by not agreeing with what I said?

No, I agree with it. I see no reason to disagree with it.

Really?

What parts do you agree with? Which statements?

What interests you, Horner?

Well, I took my master's degree in English litera...

Ah, ah, ah. No biography, Jacob Horner.

No history.

What thing interests you?

You may get up from your chair, if you wish.

When these people are brought to me, Horner...

...they're in a certified state of catatonia.

Unable to feed themselves, they are fed through needles and tubes.

Eyes that stare without seeing...

...lips that move without speech, and ears that listen but hear not.

They lie very still, Horner, very still indeed...

...in a vegetable state of catatonia.

And I have entered the dream gradually... ...gently waking the dreamer.

Apparently, one of your patients isn't responding quite ideally.

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

I doubt that your opinion is qualified.

I think I know sadism when I see it.

You don't know nothing, baby.

One of the many things which work toward restoring mobility, Horner...

...is devotion to a certain figure or person.

A god, a doctor or other kind of administrator.

It keeps the allegiance from being divided. Very important.

Goes back all the way to the monolith.

There is no such thing as paralysis per se, Horner.

Paralysis can exist only in something.

In this case... ...in a certain Mr. Jacob Jack Horner.

If that really is your name.

Listen, maybe you don't know this, but you shouldn't do that...

Hit me, I mean.

...Because I'm a black belt... Brown... Judo. And I just might kill you.

You know, as a kind of simple dumbbell reflex.

Oh, we will see.

We will see. We see what happen.

Ah. Mrs. Dockey.

Mrs. Dockey will show you to your bed.

I'll speak with you again presently.

One, perhaps two, of the older male patients...

...might attempt familiarities with you during the night.

They participate in the new morality program.

They're on sexual therapy.

And I find it useful in their cases to suggest homosexual experiences...

...rather than heterosexual ones. But unless you're accustomed to that sort of thing...

...I wouldn't advise you to accept their advances.

I think you should keep your life as uncomplicated as possible...

...at least for a while.

Reject them gently and they go away.

Anxiety first, followed by drive.

Drive, drive, drive and hustle.

You wouldn't make much of a salesman, would you, Horner?

Well, do you really think I should be a...?

A salesman? A real salesman?

Discipline is what you require, Horner.

Informational therapy.

We must start with facts before we deal with the truth.

Facts.

Knowledge of the specific.

"Fish and game regulations.

In Arizona, fish resident license $3... ...plus $2 for trial..."

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow...

- "One adult bull..." - ...creeps in this petty pace...

- Seals, sea lions, porpoise... - ...from day to day to the last syllable...

...of recorded time.

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death.

Life's but a walking shadow.

A poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage...

...and then is heard no more.

It is a tale told by an idiot... ...full of sound and fury...

...signifying nothing.

I pledge allegiance... ...to the flag of the United States of America.

My rifle is my best friend. It is my life.

My rifle, without me, is useless.

Without my rifle, I am useless.

- Do you understand that people? - Yes, sir!

...and justice for all.

It is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time.

- I still have a dream. - We loved him as a brother.

It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

- Jack... - Rivers of blood.

Somebody down here suggested...

...that it was like putting a fox in the chicken house.

All men are created equal. MAN 7: And give me liberty or give me death.

And elsewhere, some of my friends said...

...it was like putting a chicken in a fox house.

And all those that made the supreme sacrifice.

The task... Nay, the obligation, is to recognize the dream of insanity...

...to enter the dream and to wake the dreamer.

Yes, Horner, it is the unconscious flooding the conscious mind.

What a temptation it is. We can all feel it.

The pressure against the floodgates of the conscious mind.

The temptation to throw open the gate and swim with the tide.

Good.

Very good.

Come along, Horner.

Well, Jacob, we've had certain facts...

...and now we have come to the moment of truth.

You must begin work of a more meaningful nature.

A job, a career.

You've taken a degree somewhere?

- Yes? - Arts and sciences.

Arts and sciences.

- That's everything. - Yes.

- Psychology? - Yes.

- Political science? - Yes.

Wait a minute.

- Zoology? - Yes.
