(Eurail coach car. Man and woman argue in German.

Woman slaps man, grabs newspap

er)
(Céline looks up from book, disturbed. Moves to another seat, across from Jesse. T
hey glance over at each other)
(German woman leaves car)
(Jesse and Céline look at each other, smile. Céline looks away)
Jesse: Do you have any idea what they were arguing about?
(Céline glances up at him, looks over)
Jesse: Do you - Do you speak English?
Céline: Yeah. No, I'm sorry, my German is not very good.
Céline: Have you ever heard that as couples get older, they lose their ability to
hear each other?
Jesse: No.
Céline: Well, supposedly, men lose the ability to hear higher-pitched sounds, and
women eventually lose hearing in the low end. I guess they sort of nullify each
other,
or something.
Jesse: I guess. Nature's way of allowing couples to grow old together without ki
lling each other.
(Céline smiles, small laugh, turns away)
Jesse: What are you reading? (she shows him) Oh, yeah.
Céline: How about you?
Jesse: Umm. (Looks down, then laughs as he shows her. She smiles)
(The couple returns to car, still arguing, although a lot calmer)
Jesse: Look, I was thinking about going to the lounge car sometime soon. Would y
ou like to come with me?
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: Okay.
(They go to lounge car)
(Upon entering the lounge car)
Jesse: So how do you speak such good English?
Céline: I went to school for a summer in Los Angeles. (points to table) This fine
here?
Jesse: Yeah, this is good. (They sit)
Céline: Then I spent some time in London. How do you speak such good English?
Jesse: Me? I'm American.
Céline: You're American?
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: Are you sure?
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: (laughing) No, I'm joking. I knew you were American. And of course, you do
n't speak any other language, right?
Jesse: Yeah, yeah, I get it. So I'm the crude, dumb, vulgar American who has no
culture, right? But, I tried. I took french for four years in high school. When
I first got to
Paris, I stood in line at the Métro station. I was practicing. 'Un billet, s'il vo
us plaît. Un billet s'il vous plaît' you know --
Céline: (interrupts him, corrects his pronunciation) un billet.
Jesse: 'Un' (corrected). Whatever. 'Un, Un.' (laughs) 'Un billet s'il vous plaît,
un billet s'il vous plaît,' y'know, and I get up there, and, uh, I look at this wo
man, and my
mind goes completely blank. And I start saying, 'uh, listen, uh, I need a ticket
to get to... you know so anyway. So, where are you headed?
Céline: Well, back to Paris. My classes start next week.
Jesse: Oh, you're still in school? Where do you go?
Céline: Yeah, La Sorbonne, you know?
Jesse: Well, sure. Hey, you coming from Budapest?
Céline: Yeah, I was visiting my grandmother.
Jesse: Oh. How's she?
Céline: (laughing) She's okay.
Jesse: She's alright?
Céline: She's fine, yeah. How bout you? Where are you going?
Jesse: Uh, I'm going to Vienna.
Céline: Vienna? What's there?
Jesse: Uh, I have no idea. I'm flying out of there tomorrow.
Céline: Ah ha. you on holiday?
Jesse: Uh, ye- (indecisive). Uh, I don't really know what I'm on.
Céline: Okay.
Jesse: I've just been. I'm just traveling around, I've been riding the trains th
e past two, three weeks.
Céline: You were visiting friends, or just on your own?
Jesse: Uh, yeah. You know I had a friend in Madrid, but, umm...
Céline: Madrid? That's nice.
Jesse: Yeah, I got one of those Eurail passes, is what I did.
Céline: That's great. So, has this trip, around Europe, been good for you?
Jesse: Yeah, sure, yeah, it's been, umm... it sucked. You know...
Céline: What?
Jesse: No, uh, it's had its, umm. Well, I'll tell ya, you know, sitting, you kno
w, for weeks on end, looking out the window has actually been kind of great.
Céline: What do you mean?
Jesse: Well, you know, for instance, you have ideas that you ordinarily wouldn't
have.
Céline: What kind of ideas?
Jesse: You want to hear one?
Céline: Yeah, tell me.
Jesse: Alright, uh, I had this idea, okay?
Céline: Um-hmm...
Jesse: For a television show. Some friends of mine are these cable access produc
ers, do you know what that is, cable access? (Céline shakes her head) Umm, I dunno
... Anybody
can produce a show real cheap, and they have to put it on. Right? And I have thi
s idea for this show that would last 24 hours a day for a year straight, right?
What you do,
is you get 365 people from cities all over the world, to do these 24-hour docume
nts of real time, right, capturing life as its lived. Um, you know, it would sta
rt with uh,
a guy waking up in the morning, and, uh, you know, taking the long shower, eatin
g a little breakfast, making a little coffee, you know, and, uh, reading the pap
er.
Céline: Wait, wait. All those mundane, boring things everybody has to do everyday
of their life?
Jesse: I was going to say the poetry of day to day life, but, (Céline starts laugh
ing) you know, you say the way you say it, I'll say it the way I say it...
Céline: (laughs) I like that.
Jesse: No listen, think about it like this...
Céline: Who's gonna want to watch this?
Jesse: Well, alright, think about it like this. Why is it, that a dog, you know,
sleeping in the sun, is so beautiful, you know, it is, it's beautiful, you know
, but a guy,
standing at a bank machine, trying to take some money out, looks like a complete
moron?
Céline: So, it's like a National Geographic program, but on people?
Jesse: Yeah!
Céline: Hmm.
Jesse: What do you think?
Céline: Yeah, I can (laughs) I can (laughs) I can see it. Like twenty four boring
hours, sorry, and like a three-minute sex scene, where he falls asleep right aft
er, no?
Jesse: Yeah, you know I mean, and... I mean, that would be a great episode.
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: People would talk about that episode. I mean, you and your friends could
do one in Paris, if you wanted to, I mean.
Céline: Oh, sure.
Jesse: I dunno, the key, the key... the thing that kind of haunts me is the dist
ribution, you know. I mean, getting these tapes from town to town, city to city,
so that the
play is continuous, cause it would have to play all the time, or else it just wo
uldn't work.
(Waiter approaches the table, hands them menus)
Céline: Thank you.
Jesse: Thanks (pause, while waiter walks away). You know what? Not service orien
ted. It's just, I don't know, an observation about Europe.
(Scene fades out)
(Scene fades back in)
Céline: You know my parents have never really spoken of the possibility of my fall
ing in love, or getting married, or having children. Even as a little girl, they
wanted me to
think of a future career, as a, you know, as a interior designer, or a lawyer, o
r something like that. I'd say to my dad, 'I want to be a writer.' and he'd say
journalist. I'd
say I wanted to have a refuge for stray cats, and he'd say veterinarian. I'd say
I wanted to be an actress, and he'd say TV newscaster. It was this constant con
version of my
fanciful ambition into these practical, money-making ventures.
Jesse: Hmm. I always had a pretty good bullshit detector when I was a kid, you k
now. I always knew when they were lying to me, you know. By the time I was in hi
gh school, I was
dead set on listening to what everybody thought I should be doing with my life,
and just kind of doing just the opposite.
Céline: Mm, hmm.
Jesse: No one was ever mean about it. It's just, I could never get very excited
about other people's ambitions for my life.
Céline: But you know what, if your parents never really fully contradict you about
anything, and like are basically nice, and supportive...
Jesse: Right...
Céline: It makes it even harder to officially complain. You know, even when they'r
e wrong, it's this, it's this passive-aggressive shit, you know what I mean, it'
s... I hate it,
I really hate it.
Jesse: Well, you know, despite all that kind of bullshit that comes along with i
t, I remember childhood as this, you know, this magical time. I do. I remember w
hen, uh, my
mother first told me about death. My great-grandmother had just died, and my who
le family had just visited them in Florida. I was about 3, 3 and a half years ol
d. Anyway, I was in the backyard, playing, and my sister had just taught me how
to take the garden hose, and do it in such a way that, uh, you could spray it in
to the sun, and you could make a rainbow. And so I was doing that, and through t
he mist I could see my grandmother. And she was just standing there, smiling at
me. And uh, then I held it there, for a long time, and I looked at her. And then
finally, I let go of the nozzle, you know, and then I dropped the hose, and she
disappeared. And so I went back inside, and I tell my parents, you know. And th
ey, uh, sit me down give me big rap on how when people die you never see them ag
ain, and how I'd imagined it. But, I knew what I'd seen. And I was just glad tha
t I saw that. I mean, I've never seen anything like that since. But, I don't kno
w. It just kind of let me know how ambiguous everything was, you know, even deat
h.

Céline: You're really lucky you can have this attitude towards death. I think I'm
afraid of death 24 hours a day. I swear. I mean, that's why I'm in a train right
now. I could
have flown to Paris, but I'm too scared.
Jesse: Oh, come.
Céline: I can't help it. I can't help it. I know the statistics say na-na-na, its
safer, whatever (Jesse laughs). When I'm in a plane, I can see it. I can see the
explosion,
(Jesse gives explosion sound effect). I can see me falling through the clouds, a
nd I'm so scared of those few seconds of consciousness before you're gonna die,
you know, when
you know for sure you're gonna die. I can't stop thinking that way. Its exhausti
ng.
Jesse: Yeah, I bet.
Céline: Really exhausting. (she looks out window, points, as train slows down) I t
hink this is Vienna.
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: You get off here, no?
Jesse: Yeah, what a drag. I wish I had met you earlier, you know, I really like
talking to you.
Céline: Yeah, me too. It was really nice to meet you.
(train stops)
(in train, Céline sitting alone, Jesse comes up, with his bag, to her)
Jesse: Alright, I have an admittedly insane idea, but if I don't ask you this, i
t's just, uh, you know, it's gonna haunt me the rest of my life.
Céline: What?
Jesse: Um.. (thinks). I want to keep talking to you, you know. I have no idea wh
at your situation is, but, uh, but I feel like we have some kind of, uh, connect
ion. Right?
Céline: Yeah, me too.
Jesse: Yeah, right, well, great. So listen, so here's the deal. This is what we
should do. You should get off the train with me here in Vienna, and come check o
ut the town.
Céline: What?
Jesse: Come on. It'll be fun. Come on.
Céline: What would we do?
Jesse: Umm, I don't know. All I know is I have to catch an Austrian Airlines fli
ght tomorrow morning at 9:30, and I don't really have enough money for a hotel,
so I was just
going to walk around, and it would be a lot more fun if you came with me. And if
I turn out to be some kind of psycho, you know, you just get on the next train.

(Céline smiles, still unsure)

Jesse: Alright, alright. Think of it like this. Um, uh, jump ahead, ten, twenty
years, okay, and you're married. Only your marriage doesn't have that same energ
y that it used to
have, you know. You start to blame your husband. You start to think about all th
ose guys you've met in your life, and what might have happened if you'd picked u
p with one of
them, right? (Céline starts laughing a bit) Well, I'm one of those guys. That's me
, you know. So think of this as time travel, from then, to now, uh, to find out
what you're
missing out on. See, what this really could be is a gigantic favor to both you a
nd your future husband, to find out that you're not missing out on anything. I'm
just as big a
loser as he is, totally unmotivated, totally boring, and, uh, you made the right
choice, and you're really happy (motions to towards the door).
Céline: (thinks) Let me get my bag.
Jesse: Yeah.
(They leave train, go into train station)
Jesse: We should get a locker for all this stuff.
Céline: Okay.
(They walk towards the lockers)
Céline: What's your name?
Jesse: My name? Uh, It's Jesse. It's James, actually, but everybody always calls
me Jesse. (offers hand)
Céline: You mean, Jesse James? No.
Jesse: No, no. Just Jesse.
Céline: I'm Céline. (they shake hands)
(on bridge above train station)
Jesse: This is a nice bridge.
Céline: Yeah.
(they walk a few steps)
Céline: This is kind of weird.
Jesse: Yeah, this is kind of weird isn't it? I mean, I feel a little awkward. Um
... But it's alright, right? It's okay.
Céline: Yeah, this is great, this is great. Let's go to some places. Look at your
book.
Jesse: Yeah, we're in Vienna, let's go to some places. Let's ask these guys.
(two men are looking over the bridge, at the water below)
Jesse: Excuse me, excuse me, uh, sprechen sie English?
Fatman: Ja, of course.
Skinny: Couldn't you speak German for a change?
Jesse: What?
Skinny: No, it was a joke.
Jesse: Well, listen, we just got into Vienna today, and we're looking for someth
ing fun to do.
Céline: Like museums, exhibitions, things...
Skinny: But museums are not that funny any more these days, uh...
Fatman: Uh, but they are closing right now. How long are you going to be here?
Jesse: Just for tonight.
Skinny: Why did you come to Vienna? What, uh, what could you be expecting?
Jesse: Uh...
(perplexed)
Céline: We're on honeymoon.
Jesse: Yeah, she got pregnant, we had to get married, you know.
Skinny: You know I don't believe you, you're a bad liar.
(Skinny and Fatman exchange 2-3 words each in German...)
Skinny: Ja.
Fatman: See here.
(pulls paper out of pocket)
Skinny: This is a play we're both in, and we would like to invite you.
Céline: You're actors?
Skinny: No, not professional actors, uh, part-time actors, for fun.
Fatman: It's a play about a cow, and an Indian searching for it. There are also
in it politicians, Mexicans...
Skinny: Russians, Communists.
Fatman: Russians.
Jesse: So, you have a real cow on stage.
Skinny: No, not a real cow. Its an actor in a cow costume.
Fatman: (Indicating Skinny) And he's the cow.
Skinny: Yes, I am the cow. And the cow is a bit weird.
Fatman: The cow has a disease.
Skinny: She's acting a bit strange, like a dog. If someone throws a stick, she f
etches it, and brings it back. And she can smoke, with her hooves, and everythin
g.
Céline: Great.
Fatman: And as you see, there is the address. Its in the Second district.
Skinny: Near the Prater. You know the Prater?
Céline: Oh, the big Ferris Wheel?
Skinny: By the wheel, yes.
Céline: Oh, we should go.
Skinny: Yes, the wheel, everybody knows the wheel.
Fatman: Perhaps you can go to the Prater before the play. It starts at 21:30.
Jesse: 21:30?
Skinny: That's 9:30.
Céline: 9:30.
Jesse: 9:30? oh, right, right. Okay, great, well, what's the name of this play?
Skinny: Uh...
Fatman: It translates as 'Bring me the horns ...
Skinny & Fatman: ... of Wilmington's cow'
Skinny: Ja I'm Wilmington's cow.
Jesse: Alright.
Céline: Great.
Jesse: We'll try to be there.
Skinny: You'll be there?
Jesse: We'll try.
Skinny: I'm the cow.
Jesse: You're the cow.
Skinny: Goodbye.
(on a tram, going through Vienna)
Jesse: Alright, I got an idea. Are you ready?
Céline: Okay.
Jesse: Alright, it's Q&A time. We've known each other a little while now, we're
stuck together, so we're going to ask each other a few, uh, direct questions. Al
right?
Céline: So, we ask each other questions.
Jesse: And you have to answer 100% honestly.
Céline: Of course.
Jesse: Okay, alright, first question.
Céline: You.
Jesse: Describe for me... Yes, I'm going to ask you. Describe for me your first
sexual feelings towards a person.
Céline: (laughs) My first sexual feelings, oh my God. Um, I know, I know. Jean-Mar
c Fleury. (laughs)
Jesse: Jean-Marc Fleury?
Céline: I remember we were at this summer camp together. And he was a swimmer.
Jesse: Um-Hmm...
Céline: Yeah, he had bleached out chlorine hair and green eyes. And to improve his
times, he'd shave the hair off his legs and arms.
Jesse: That's disgusting.
Céline: Oh, no. He was like this gorgeous dolphin. And my friend Emma had a big, b
ig crush on him. So one day I was cutting, you know across field, back to my roo
m, and he
came walking up beside me. You know, and I told him, you know, you should date E
mma, she has a big crush on you. And he turned to me and said (making her voice
a bit lower)
Well, that's too bad, 'cause I have a big crush on you. (Jesse lets his jaw drop
) Yeah, it really scared the hell out of me, because I thought he was so fine. A
nd then he
officially asked me out on a date, and you know I pretended I didn't like him. Y
ou know I was, I was so afraid of what I might do, you know. Uh, well. So, you k
now, I went to
see him swim a few times, at the swim competition. And he was so sexy, really, I
mean, really sexy. You know we kind of wrote these little declarations of love
to each other
at the end of the summer, and you know, promised we would keep writing forever,
and I, you know, meet again very soon, and...
Jesse: Did you?
Céline: Of course not.
Jesse: Well, then I think this is the opportune time to tell you that I happen t
o be a fantastic swimmer.
Céline: Really?
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: I'll make note of that.
Jesse: Okay. Uh...
Céline: So its my turn, no?
Jesse: Yes, yeah, it's your turn.
Céline: Uh, have you ever been in love?
Jesse: Yes. Next question. What was the fir--
Céline: Wait, wait.
Jesse: What?
Céline: Wait a minute.
Jesse: What?
Céline: So I can give one word answers?
Jesse: Sure, why not?
Céline: No, no. After I went into such private details about my first sexual feeli
ngs.
Jesse: Yeah, I, I know, but, sexual feel... Those are two very different questio
ns. I mean, I could've answered the sexual feelings thing, no problem, but you k
now, love.
Well, what if I asked you about love?
Céline: I would have lied, but at least, you know, I would have made up a great st
ory.
Jesse: Yeah, well, you would have lied. Great. I mean, love is a complex issue.
You know, I mean, it's like, uh. I mean, yes, I had told somebody that I love th
em before, and I
had meant it. Was it totally a totally unselfish, giving love? Was it a beautifu
l thing? Not really, you know. It's like love, I mean, uh, I don't know. You kno
w?
Céline: Yeah, I know what you mean.
Jesse: But as far as sexual feelings go, I'll have you know it started with an o
bsessive relationship with Miss July 1978. Do you know Playboy magazine?
Céline: Oh, yeah, I've heard of it.
Jesse: Yeah? Do you know Crystal?
Céline: No... (laughing)
Jesse: You don't know Crystal? Well, I knew Crystal. Well... (laughing) Is it, u
m... my turn now. okay. Tell me something that really pisses you off, really dri
ves you crazy.
Céline: Pisses me off. My God. Everything pisses me off.
Jesse: Okay, okay, list a couple.
Céline: Uh, okay. I hate being told by a strange man, a strange man in the street,
you know, like, to smile, like, to make them feel better about their boring lif
e, um, what
else? I hate, I hate that 300 kms from here there's a war going on, you know, pe
ople are dying, and nobody knows what to do about it, or they don't give a shit,
I don't know.
I hate that the media, you know, they are trying to control our minds.
Jesse: The media?
Céline: Yeah, the media. You know it's very subtle, but you know, its a new form o
f fascism. (Jesse takes that in). Um, I hate, I hate when I am in foreign countr
ies, especially
in America, they are the worst. Each time I wear black, or like, lose my temper,
or say anything about anything, they always go 'oh, it's so french, it's so cut
e.'
(she mimics a puke) I hate that I can't stand that, really.
Jesse: Is that all?
Céline: Well, there's a lot of things, really. So it's my turn.
Jesse: Okay.
Céline: You're going to answer.
Jesse: Yes, I'll answer.
Céline: Ah, what's a problem for you?
Jesse: You, probably.
Céline: (laughs) What?
Jesse: Um, No, Alright, I had a thought the other day that was kind of, a, quali
fies as a problem.
Céline: What is it?
Jesse: Well, it was a thought I had on the train, so.... Um... okay, alright. Um
, Do you believe in reincarnation?
Céline: Yeah, yeah, its interesting.
Jesse: Most people, you know, a lot of people talk about the past lives, and thi
ngs like that, you know, and even if they don't believe in it in some specific w
ay, you know,
people have some kind of notion of an eternal soul, right.
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: Okay. Well, this is my thought. 50,000 years ago, there are not even a mi
llion people on the planet. 10,000 years ago, there's like 2,000,000 people on t
he planet. Now,
there's between 5 and 6 billion people on the planet, right? Now, if we all have
our own, like, individual, unique soul, right, where do they all come from? Are
modern souls
only a fraction of the original souls? Because if they are, that represents a 5,
000-to-1 split of each soul in just the last 50,000 years, which is like a blip
in the earth's
time. You know, so, at best, we're like these tiny fractions of people, you know
, walking... I mean, is that why we're all so scattered? You know, Is that why w
e're all so
specialized?
Céline: Wait a minute, I'm not sure I ... I don't...
Jesse: Hang on, I know, I know, it's a totally scattered thought, which is kind
of why it makes sense.
Céline: Yeah... (unsure, but laughing) I agree with you.
Jesse: Let's get off this damn tram.
(the two exit the tram)
(in a record store named "Alt & Neu", they are both looking through records, not
CDs)
Jesse: (walks up to Céline) This place is pretty neat.
Céline: Yeah, there's even a listening booth over there. (finds an album, and show
s it to Jesse) Have you ever heard of this singer? (He shakes his head). I think
 she's American
A friend of mine told me about her.
Jesse: (pointing to booth) Do you want to go see if that listening booth still w
orks?
Céline: Yeah, okay.
(They go into listening booth, and put record on)

There's a wind that blows in from the north,

And it says that loving takes it's course.
Come here. Come here.
No I'm not impossible to touch,
I have never wanted you so much.
Come here. Come here.
Have I never lay down by your side?
Baby, let's forget about this pride.
Come here. Come here.
Well, I'm in no hurry.
You don't have to run away this time.
I know that you're jimmied,
But it's gonna be all right this time.

(The two start the record, and sit close in the booth. Each looks at the other f
or a period of time, looking away when the other begins to look at them, again)
(They are walking along, outside the shop, admiring the architecture)
Jesse: Look at this. This is beautiful.
(They spot a tram, and run to it)
Céline: Quickly. Its leaving. (indicating the tram)
(They stand on the tram, passing small talk, then when the tram stops, they exit
, and go into a park)
(in park)
Céline: Oh, look, there's a rabbit.
Jesse: Yeah. Hey there, rabbit.
Céline: He's so cute. (sees a cemetery)I visited this as a young teenager. I think
it left a bigger impression on me at that time than any of the museums we went
to.
(they go into the cemetery, and walk through).
Jesse: Yeah? It's tiny.
Céline: I know. There was this little old man that talked to us. He was the ground
s keeper. He explained that most of the people are buried here that washed up on
the bank of
the Danube.
Jesse: How old are these?
Céline: Around the beginning of the century or so. It's called the cemetery of the
No Name because the often didn't know who these people were. Maybe a first name
, that's all.
Jesse: Why were all the bodies washing up?
Céline: I think some were from accidents, on boats and things like that, but most
of them were suicides that jumped in the river. I always liked the idea of all t
hose unknown
people lost in the world. When I was a little girl, I thought that if none of yo
ur family or friends knew you were dead, then it's like not really being dead. P
eople can invent
the best and the worst for you. (She sees a gravestone, and indicates it). Ah,
here she is, I think. Yeah, this is, this is the one I remember the most. (Name
on gravestone is
Elizabeth). She was only 13 when she died. That meant something to me, you know
, I was around that age when I first saw this. Hmm. Now, I'm 10 years older, and
she's still, 13,
I guess. That's funny.
(they leave the cemetery)
(in car on Ferris wheel. Probably the Prater, mentioned earlier, towards nightfa
ll)
Céline: That's the Danube over there.
Jesse: That's the river, right?
Céline: (laughs) Yeah.
(Walking around in the Prater car, admiring the scenery, below)
Jesse: This is gorgeous.
Céline: Yeah, it's very beautiful.
Jesse: We got, uh, we got a sunset here.
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: We got the Ferris wheel. It seems like, um, this would be a...
Céline: What?
Jesse: (sighs) Uh, you know, uh.
Céline: (putting her arms around him) Are you trying to say you want to kiss me?
Jesse: (Nods head. Mouths, emphatically 'yes')
Céline: (Also nods, and whispers) Yes. (they kiss, then stop and look at each othe
r for a moment. Then, they kiss again)
(Still in amusement park, walking around, after dark. They get to a Strong-Man m
achine. Jesse puts in a coin, and a song starts. They dance a bit, until Jesse s
uddenly stops and
elbows the machine hard. His ranking is 70, and is told to him in German. They c
ontinue walking...)
Céline: But you know what?
Jesse: What?
Céline: I don't think it really matters what generation you are born into. Look at
my parents. They were these angry, young, May '68 people, revolting against eve
rything.
You know, the government, their conservative catholic backgrounds, I mean. I was
born not long after, and then my father went on to become this successful archi
tect, and they
began to travel all around the world, where he built bridges, and towers, and st
uff. I mean, I really can't complain about anything. You know, they love me more
than anything
in the world, and I have been raised with all the freedom they had fought for. A
nd yet for me now, it's another type of fight. We still have to deal with the sa
me old shit,
but we can't really know who, or you know, what the enemy is.
Jesse: I don't really know if there is an enemy. You know, I mean, everybody's p
arents fuck them up. You know, rich kids' parents gave them too much, poor kids'
not enough.
Too much attention, not enough attention. They either left them, or you know, th
ey stuck around and taught them the wrong things. You know. I mean, my parents a
re just these
two people who didn't like each other very much, who, uh, decided to get married
and have a kid, and they try their best to be nice to me.
Céline: Did your parents divorce?
Jesse: Yeah. Finally. They should have done it a lot sooner, but they stuck toge
ther for a while for the well-being of my sister and I, thank you very much. I r
emember my mother
once. She told me, right in front of my father, they were having this big fight,
that he didn't really want to have me, you know, that he was really pissed off
when he found out
that she was pregnant with me, you know, that I was this big mistake. And I thi
nk that really shaped the way I think. I always saw the world as this place wher
e I really wasn't
meant to be.
Céline: That's so sad.
Jesse: No, I mean, I eventually kind of took pride in it. You know, like my life
was my own doing, or something. You know, like I was crashing 'The Big Party'.
Céline: That's a way to see it. You know, my parents, they're still married, and I
guess they're very happy, but I just think it's an healthy process to rebel aga
inst everything
that came before.
Jesse: Yeah. Yeah.
Céline: You know, I've been wondering lately. Do you know anyone who's in a happy
relationship?
Jesse: Uh, yeah, sure. You know, I know happy couples. But I think they lie to e
ach other.
Céline: Hm. Yeah. People can lead their life as I lie. My grandmother, she was mar
ried to this man, and I always thought she had a very simple, uncomplicated love
life. But she
just confessed to me that she spent her whole life dreaming about another man s
he was always in love with. She just accepted her fate. It's so sad. And in the
same time, I love
the idea that she had all those emotions and feelings I never thought she would
have had.
Jesse: I guarantee you, it was better that way. If she'd ever got to know him, y
ou know, I'm sure he would have disappointed her eventually.
Céline: How do you know? You don't know them.
Jesse: Yeah, I know, I know. It's just, people have these romantic projections t
hey put on everything. You know. that's not based on any kind of reality.
Céline: Romantic projections?
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: Oh, Mr. Romantic, up there in the Ferris Wheel 'Oh, kiss me, the sunset, o
h, it's so beautiful...'
Jesse: Oh, alright, alright, alright. Tell me about your grandmother. What were
you saying about her?
Céline: No! Uh --
(they approach a carousel, and Jesse gets on, Céline stays off)
(Sitting at a cafe. A pair of monks walk by, apparently in prayer)
Jesse: Hey... check these guys out. 'Hey Hans, I have a confession to make. I'm
not wearing any underwear underneath this thing.' 'Oh really?' 'Does that fright
en you?' (Pause,
then Jesse and Céline turn to face one another) Can I tell you a secret?
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: Come here. (brings mouth closer to her ear)
Céline: What? (She brings her head a bit closer)
Jesse: Come here (closer, then he turns, and kisses her on the lips)
(they pause, and hear some laughter, they look over at it. There is a gypsy, rea
ding somebody's palm)
Céline: Look at this palm-reader. She's interesting-looking, no?
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: Uh-oh, uh-oh.
Jesse: What, what?
Céline: I just made eye contact.
Jesse: She's not coming over here.
Céline: Yes, she is.
Jesse: Oh, shit. Oh, no.
Céline: Oh my God. You want your palm read?
Jesse: No, no.
Céline: No? Are you sure?
Jesse: I'm sure.
Céline: Okay.
Jesse: Hello (mocking)
Céline: Here she is.
Gypsy: (in German) Would you like your hand read?
Céline: Uh, français, English?
Gypsy: (Takes Céline's hand, and touches it) Vant your palm read?
Céline: Yeah. How much is it?
Gypsy: For you, fifties. Okay?
Céline: Okay.
Gypsy: Oh, so, you have been on a journey, and you are stranger to this place. Y
ou, an adventure, you seek. An adventure in your mind. You are interested in the
power of the
woman, in a woman's deep strength, and creativity? You are becoming this woman.
You need to resign yourself to the awkwardness of life. Only if you find peace w
ithin yourself,
will you find true connection with others. (indicates, with her head, Jesse) Tha
t is a stranger to you?
Céline: I guess so.
Gypsy: (Takes Jesse's hand) Oh, you will be alright. He's learning. Okay (claps
hands). Money. (proffers hand, awaiting payment)
(Céline pays her, and Gypsy begins to walk away. With the money in her hands, Gyps
y turns back to Jesse and Céline)
Gypsy: You are both stars, don't forget. And the stars exploded billions of year
s ago, to form everything that is this world. Everything we know, is stardust. S
o don't forget,
you are stardust.
Jesse: (looks away with cynical expression) I mean, that's very nice and all, I
mean, that, you know, we're all stardust, and you're becoming this great woman,
I mean, but I
hope you don't take that any more seriously than some horoscope in a daily syndi
cated newspaper.
Céline: You, what are you talking about? I mean, she knew I was on vacation, and t
hat we didn't know each other, and that (laughs) I was going to become this grea
t woman.
Jesse: Aw c'mon. But what was that 'I am learning' bullshit? I mean, that's way
condescending. You know. I mean, she wasn't even doing me. I mean, if opportunis
ts like that,
ever had to tell the real truth, it would put their asses out of business. You k
now. I mean, just once, I'd love to see, some little old lady, save up all her m
oney, you know,
to go to the fortune teller, and she'd get there, all excited about hearing her
future, and the woman would say (taking Céline's hand, mimicking a fortune teller,
including the
voice) UmHmm. Tomorrow, and all your remaining days will be exactly like today--
A tedious collection of hours. And you will have no new passions, and no new tho
ughts, and no new
travels, and when you die, you'll be completely forgotten. 50 shillings, please
. You know, that, I'd like to see.
Céline: It's so funny how she almost didn't notice you, you know. It's weird. I wo
nder why. She was, she was really wise, and intense, no? I really loved what she
said,
you know?
Jesse: Yeah, of course you do, you know. You pay your money, you get to hear som
ething that makes you feel good about yourself. If you want, maybe there's a see
dy section of
Vienna, we can go buy a hit of crack, you know. Would you like that? Yeah?
Céline: You're so... (makes gesture to give impressive of wacko)
Jesse: Stardust, Stardust.
(Walking along the streets of Vienna)
(Jesse walks a bit behind Céline, and moves so that she trips over her foot)
Céline: Ow! Ridicule! (Sees poster) Ah, there's an exhibition. Yeah, I guess we'll
miss it. Doesn't start until next week.
Jesse: Yeah, I think so.
Céline: (indicates art shown in poster. Poster is of exhibition of art work by Seu
rat) I actually saw this one a few years ago in a museum. I stared, and stared a
t it.
Must have been 45 minutes. I love it. La voie ferrée. Ah. (points to another work
on poster) I love the way the people seem to be dissolving into the background.
(Indicates another) Look at this one. It's like the environments, you know, are
stronger than the people. His human figures are always so transitory. Its funny.
Transitory?
Jesse: Yeah. Transitory.

(Céline and Jesse approach a Viennese cathedral)

Jesse: Think this is open?
Céline: I don't know, let's try it.
(They enter, and Céline slowly walks down the aisle)
Céline: (almost whispering) I was in an old church like this with my grandmother a
few days ago in Budapest. Even though I reject most of the religious things, I
can't help but
feeling for all those people that come here lost or in pain, guilt, looking for
some kind of answers. It fascinates me how a single place can join so much pain
and happiness
for so many generations.
Jesse: You close with your grandmother?
Céline: Yeah. I think it's because I always... I always have this strange feeling
that I am this very old woman laying down about to die. You know, that my life i
s just her
memories, or something.
Jesse: That's so wild. I mean, I always think that I'm still this 13 year old bo
y, you know who just doesn't really know how to be an adult, pretending to live
my life, taking
notes for when I'll really have to do it. Kind of like I'm in a dress rehearsal
for a Junior High play.
Céline: That's funny. Then, up there in the Ferris wheel, it was like this very ol
d woman kissing this very young boy, right?
Jesse: Hmm. Do you know anything about the Quakers, the Quaker religion?
Céline: No, not much, no.
Jesse: Well, I went to this Quaker wedding once, and it was fantastic. What they
do is the couple comes in and they kneel down in front of the whole congregatio
n, and they
ust stare at each other, and nobody says a word unless they feel that God moves
them to speak, or say something. And then after an hour or so, of just, uh, star
ing at each
other, they're married.
Céline: That's beautiful. I like that.
(the two stare at each other for a few moments. Céline turns away, and a few momen
ts later, so does Jesse)
Jesse: This is a horrible story.
Céline: What?
Jesse: It's not the appropriate place to tell it, but...
Céline: What?
Jesse: Well, I was driving around with this buddy of mine, he was a big atheist,
and we came to a stop, next to this homeless guy. And my buddy takes out a 100-
dollar bill,
and leans out the window, and he says, 'do you believe in God?' And the guy look
s at, uh, he looks at my friend, and he looks at the money, he says, uh, 'Yes, I
do.' My friend
says, 'Wrong answer.' (motions as if putting money back in pocket), and we drove
away.
Céline: That's mean, no?
Jesse: Yeah, uh, it's, uh (they stop and look at one another)
(Jesse and Céline, walking beside the Danube)
(Jesse takes a bite at Céline's hand)
Céline: Ow!
Jesse: Would you be in Paris by now, if uh, you hadn't gotten off the train with
me?
Céline: (thinks) No not yet. What would you be doing?
Jesse: I'd probably be hanging around the airport, reading old magazines, crying
in my coffee (mimics sad voice) cause you didn't come with me. (he kisses her h
and a few times)
Céline: Awwww. Actually, I think I'd probably have gotten off the train in Salzbur
g with someone else.
Jesse: Oh, yeah? Oh, I see. So, I'm just that dumb American momentarily decorati
ng your bland canvass.
Céline: I'm having a great time.
Jesse: Yeah?
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: Me too.
Céline: I'm so glad because no one knows I'm here, and I don't know anyone that kn
ows you that would tell me all those bad things you've done.
Jesse: MmHmm?
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: I'll tell you some.
Céline: Yeah, I'm sure.
Jesse: MmHmm.
Céline: You know, you hear so much shit about people. I always feel like the gener
al of an army when I start dating a guy, you know, plotting my strategy and mane
uverings,
knowing his weak points, what would hurt him, seduce him. It's horrible. (they w
alk a bit) If we were around each other all the time, what do you think would be
the first thing
about me that would drive you mad?
Jesse: No, uh, no, no, I'm not gonna answer this question, no.
Céline: Why?
Jesse: I just, I dated this girl once who, who used to always ask me that questi
on, 'What about me bugs you?' you know. And so finally I said, well, you know, I
, uh, just don't
think you handle criticism too well. She flew into a rage, and broke up with me
, alright. That's a true story. All she ever really wanted to do was to have an
excuse to tell me
what she thought was wrong with me, you know. Is that what you want?
Céline: What?
Jesse: Something about me bugs you?
Céline: No.
Jesse: It's alright. Tell me. What is it? What about me bugs you?
Céline: Nothing, nothing at all.
Jesse: Well, if it had to be something, what would it be?
Céline: If it had to be something, if I had to think about it, I... I kind of didn
't really like this reaction back at the palm reader. You were like this rooster
prick.
Jesse: Rooster prick?
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: I was a rooster prick?
Céline: You were like a little boy whining because all the attention wasn't focuse
d on him.
Jesse: Alright, listen, this woman robs you blind, okay?
Céline: You were like a little boy walking by an ice cream store, crying because h
is mother wouldn't buy him a milkshake or something.
(a voice comes from behind)
Jesse: I don't care what this woman has to say about anything.
Poet: Hello? (something in German)
Céline: What?
Poet: (Repeats phrase in German)
Céline: Oh, I understand a little bit, but he doesn't, I'm sorry.
Poet: Okay, uh, so, um, may I ask you a question?
Céline: Yeah.
Poet: So, I would like to make a deal with you. I mean, instead of just asking y
ou for money, I will ask you for a word. Yeah, You give me a word, I take the wo
rd, and then,
and then I will write a poem, with the word inside. And if you like it, I mean,
if you like my poem, and you feel it adds something to your life in any way, the
n you can pay me
whatever you feel like. I will write in English, of course.
Céline: Okay.
Jesse: Great, alright.
Poet: So? Pick a word.
(Jesse and Céline look at each other)
Jesse: Ummm...
Céline: A word, uh... milkshake.
Jesse: Milkshake? oh, good. Yeah, was gonna say rooster prick, but great. (turns
to poet) Milkshake.
Poet: Milkshake? Okay, milkshake.
Jesse: Yeah, right, so we'll...
Céline: Good.
(poet begins to write)
Jesse: (quietly) What can I say? I like this Viennese variation of a bum.
Céline: I like what he said about adding something to your life, no?
Jesse: Yeah. So, uh, were we having our first fight back there?
Céline: No...
Jesse: Yeah, I think so, I think we were.
Céline: Well, even if we were a little bit, you know. Why does everyone think conf
lict is so bad. There's a lot of good things coming out of conflict.
Jesse: Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. I don't know, you know, I always think that if I
could just accept the fact that my life was supposed to be difficult, you know t
hat's what's to
be expected, then, I might not get so pissed off about it, and I'd just be glad
when something nice happens.
Céline: Maybe that's why I'm still in school, you know. It's easier to have someth
ing to fight against.
Jesse: Yeah, well, we've all had such competitiveness engrained in us...
(Poet finishes, and rips sheet from book)
Jesse: ...You know, I could be doing the most nothing thing, you know, I could b
e, uh, throwing some darts, or shooting some pool, and all of a sudden, I feel i
t come over me,
'I have got to win'
Céline: Is that why you tried to get me off the train? Competitiveness?
(Poet approaches them)
Jesse: What do you mean?
Poet: Okay. (hands the sheet to them) Look at the poem.
Jesse: (takes poem) Oh, alright. (Opens it up)
Céline: (takes poem from Jesse, offers it back to Poet) Will you read it to us?
Poet: (Takes poem) Sure, okay. (Reads it)

Daydream delusion
Limousine Eyelash
Oh, baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet cakes and MILKSHAKES (laughs)
I am a delusion angel
I am a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don't want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we're going
Launched in life
Like branches in the river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I'll carry you. You'll carry me
That's how it could be
Don't you know me (poet hands poem back)
Don't you know me by now

Céline: (taking poem) Great. Thanks.

Jesse: Thanks, man (they both reach for coinage to give to the Poet) Uh, Here yo
u go, uh.
Poet: Thanks, thank you.
Céline: Here, thank you.
Poet: Thank you.
Jesse: Yeah, good luck, man.
Poet: Bye.
Jesse/Céline: Bye.
(Céline and Jesse walk away)
Céline: That's wonderful, no?
Jesse: Yeah, yeah.
Céline: What?
Jesse: You know he probably didn't just write that. I mean, you know he wrote it
, but he probably just plugs that word in, you know, whatever 'milkshake'...
Céline: What do you mean?
Jesse: Nothing, I love it, it was great.
(Walking through a square in Vienna)
Jesse: You know what drives me crazy?
Céline: What?
Jesse: It's all these people talking about how great technology is, and how it s
aves all this time. But, what good is saved time, if nobody uses it? If it just
turns into more
busy work.
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: Right, I mean, you never hear somebody say, "Well, you know, with, uh, th
e time I've saved by using my word processor, I'm gonna go to a Zen monastery an
d hang out." I
mean, you never hear that.
Céline: Time is so abstract anyway. Were you looking at this girl?
Jesse: What? What?
Céline: Nothing.
Jesse: Do you want to go in here? (indicating a club)
Céline: What?
Jesse: Do you want to go in here?
Céline: Yeah. It's a club, no?
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: Wanna go?
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: (to doorman) Àllo.
Doorman: 50 shillings.
Céline: (to Jesse) 50 shillings.
Jesse: (begins taking out money) 50 shillings.
Céline: Each.
Jesse: I got a hundred. Here, I got it.
Céline: I'll buy you a beer. (to doorman) Thank you.
(They enter the club. Live German alternative music is playing by a single music
ian with an acoustic guitar. He finally stops, and says something to the audienc
e)
Jesse: You gonna buy me a beer?
Céline: Alright.
Jesse: You think Ole Milwaukee's a little expensive here?
(still in club. Playing pinball. Céline is playing, and she loses her ball. Both a
re drinking beer)
Céline: (hitting the machine) Merde!
Jesse: (taking over, and starting playing) Well, um, we haven't talked about thi
s yet, but, are you dating anyone? You got a boyfriend waiting on you back in Pa
ris, or
anything like that?
Céline: No, not right now.
Jesse: not right -- but you did! (he loses ball, she takes over)
Céline: We broke up about six months ago.
Jesse: Six months ago.
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: I'm sorry. I mean, I'm not that sorry. But, uh, tell me about it.
Céline: Ah, no. No, no way, I can't. Its really, really boring.
Jesse: C'mon, tell me about it.
Céline: Okay. I was really disappointed. I thought this one would last for a while
. I mean he was very stupid, ugly, bad in bed, alcoholic, you know.
Jesse: Real prize-winner.
Céline: Yeah. (laughs) I was kind of giving him a favor, but he left me, saying I
loved him too much, and, you know, I was blocking his artistic expression, or so
me shit like
that, you know. But anyway, I was traumatized, and became (she loses ball. She s
hrugs, they switch) and became totally obsessed with him. And so I went to see t
his shrink, you
know, and it came out that I had written this little stupid story about this wom
an, trying to kill her boyfriend, and how she was gonna do it, you know, with al
l the intricate
details, of, you know, how to do it, and not get caught, and...
Jesse: She was gonna kill her boyfriend? (loses ball. Switch)
Céline: Yeah. Yeah, she was. I mean, it's nothing I would do, but it was just some
writing, you know.
Jesse: Alright, no, no, I understand.
Céline: But anyway, this stupid shrink believed everything I was telling her, and
it was my first time seeing her. She said she had to call the police.
Jesse: She had to call the police?
Céline: (loses ball. Switch) Yeah. She was, merde! she was totally convinced I was
really gonna do it. you know, even though I'd explained to her it was just some
writing, you
know. She said, looking deep into my eyes, "The way you said it, I know you are
going to do it, the way you said it." She was totally out of her mind. It was my
first and last
session.
Jesse: Yeah, so what happened then?
Céline: I totally got over him, you know. But now I'm obsessed that he's gonna die
from an accident, or, you know, 1000 kms away, I'm gonna be the one accused. Wh
y do you
become obsessed with people you don't really like that much, you know, I mean.
Jesse: I don't know.
Céline: So, how about you?
Jesse: What?
Céline: Are you with anyone?
Jesse: Umm, it's funny how we managed to avoid this subject for so long, isn't i
t?
Céline: Yeah, but now you have to tell me.
Jesse: Well, I kind of see this all as this, uh, escape for two people who don't
know how to be alone, you know, or, uh. I mean, you know it's funny. People alw
ays talk about
how love is this totally unselfish, giving thing, but if you think about it, you
know, there's nothing more selfish.
Céline: Yeah, I know. So, she just broke up with you?
Jesse: What? (loses ball, switch)
Céline: You sound like you've just been hurt, or something.
Jesse: No.... do I?
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: Alright. Um, Big confession, you know. I should have told you the earlier
, or something, but, you know... I didn't just come to Europe just to hang out,
and read
Hemingway in Paris, and shit like that, you know. I saved up my money all spring
to, uh, fly to Madrid, and spend the summer with my girlfriend, who has been on
this --
Céline: Your girlfriend? (she loses ball. They switch)
Jesse: My EX-girlfriend, who has been on this asinine art history program for th
e last year. Anyway, I got here, right, and now we're re-united, at long last, a
nd we went out
to dinner, our first night, ah, with six of her friends. Pedro, Antonio, Gonzalo
, Maria, Suzie, from home, you know. She pretty much managed to avoid being alon
e with me for
the first couple of days we were there, and I stuck around for a while, just to
kind of let it really sink in that she wished I hadn't come. So I bought the che
apest flight
out of Europe, this one leaving out of Vienna tomorrow, but it didn't leave for
a couple of weeks. So, I bought this Eurail pass, you know. You know -- you know
what's the
worst thing about somebody breaking up with you? It's when you remember how litt
le you thought about the people you broke up with, and you realize that that is
how little
they're thinking about you, you know. (loses ball) You know, you'd like to think
that you're both in all this pain, but really, they're just, Hey, I'm glad you'
re gone.
(They switch)
Céline: I know. You should look at bright colors.
Jesse: What?
Céline: That's what the shrink told me, you know. I was paying her 900 francs an h
our, to hear that I was a homicidal maniac, and that I could eliminate my obsess
ion if I
would concentrate on bright colors.
Jesse: Yeah, well did it work?
Céline: Well, (loses ball, switch)
Jesse: Didn't help your pinball, did it?
Céline: No. Yeah, well, you know. I haven't... I haven't killed anyone lately.
Jesse: Not lately? Well, that's good, you're cured, then
(walking outside in Vienna)
Jesse: I mean, there's these breeds of monkeys, right, and all they do is have s
ex, like, all the time, you know. And, uh, they turn out to be, like, the least
violent, the
most peaceful, the most happy, you know, so I mean, maybe fooling around is not
so bad.
Céline: Are you talking about monkeys?
Jesse: Yes. I'm talking about monkeys.
Céline: Ah, I thought so, yeah.
Jesse: Why?
Céline: You know, I never heard this one, but it reminds me of, like, this perfect
, you know, male argument to justify them fooling around.
Jesse: No, no, no. Woman monkeys are fooling around, too. Everybody's fooling ar
ound.
Céline: Yeah, that's cute. (they laugh) You know, I have this awful paranoid thoug
ht, that feminism was mostly invented by men, so they could, like, fool around a
little more.
You know, women, free your minds, free your bodies, sleep with me. We're all hap
py and free as long as I can fuck as much as I want.
Jesse: Alright, alright, alright. But maybe, maybe there's some biological thing
s at work here. I mean, if you had an island, right, and there were 99 women on
the island, and
only one man, in a year, you'd have the possibility of 99 babies. But if you hav
e an island with 99 men, and only one woman, in a year, you'd have the possibili
ty of only one
baby. So...
Céline: So. You know what?
Jesse: What?
Céline: On this island, you know, I think that there will only be, like, maybe 43
men left. Because they would kill each other, trying to fuck this poor woman, yo
u know what I
mean? And on the other island, there would be 99 women, 99 babies, and no more m
an, because they would have all gotten together, and eaten him alive.
Jesse: Oh yeah?
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: Yeah? Yeah? See... see, I think there's something to that. I think on som
e level, women don't mind the idea of destroying a man, you know. Like, I was on
ce walking down
the street with my ex-girlfriend, you know, right, and we just walked by these,
like, real four, kind of thuggy looking guys, next to a Camaro, you know, and on
e of them, sure
enough, says, 'Hey baby, nice ass.' You know, I mean. So, I'm like, alright, Hey
, no big deal, I'm not gonna get uptight about this, right?
Céline: Yeah, plus, there were four of them, right?
Jesse: Yeah, exactly, there's four of them, right, but she turns around and she
says (Jesse turns back, and flips the bird to the air behind him) Fuck you, dick
heads, and I'm
like, Okay, wait a minute, here, right. They're not gonna come over here and kic
k her ass, you know what I mean. So who just got pushed to the front line on tha
t one? You see
what I'm saying? I mean, women say they hate it if your all territorial and prot
ective, but if it suits them, then they'll tell you you're being all unmanly, or
wimpy, or, uh.
Céline: You know what? I don't think women really want to destroy men, and if, eve
n if they want to, they don't.. they don't succeed. You know what I mean? I'm su
re even, you
know, men are destroying women, or are able... capable of destroying women, much
more than women... Well, anyway, it's depressing, I mean you know what?
Jesse: What? You want to stop talking about this?
Céline: Yeah. I really hate it. You know Men-Women you know, it's, it's... there's
no end to this, like, you know...
Jesse: It's like a skipping record, you know.
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: Every couple's been having this conversation forever.
Céline: Any nobody's come up with anything.
(Still on streets of Vienna. Belly dancer is dancing to drum beat, on the side o
f the street)
(Jesse and Céline approach, then Céline pulls Jesse closer to watch)
Céline: I saw a documentary on that. It's a birth dance.
Jesse: A birth dance?
Céline: Yeah.
(they stop and watch for a little while, until its over. They clap)
Jesse: Should I give her some money?
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: Everything that's interesting costs a little bit of money. I'm telling yo
u.
(He puts some coinage in the pot, and they begin to walk away)
Jesse: So, birth dance, huh? Looked a little bit like a mating dance to me.
Céline: No, but really. Women used this when giving birth. In some parts of the wo
rld, they still do it.
Jesse: Yeah?
Céline: Yeah. The woman in labor enters a tent, and the women of her tribe surroun
d her, and dance, and they encourage the birthing woman to dance with them as...
so as to make
the birth less painful.
Jesse: Yeah...
Céline: When the baby is born, they all dance in celebration.
Jesse: Wow. I don't think my mom would have gone for that.
Céline: I like the idea of dancing as a common function in life, something everybo
dy participates in.
Jesse: Yeah, I know. I heard about this old guy, who was watching some young peo
ple dance. And he said, how beautiful. They're trying to shake off their genital
s, and become
angels.
Céline: I like that. (smiles)
Jesse: Alright. One question, though, back there. When the women are dancing, an
d being all spiritual, and stuff, right? Where are the men? Are we out food-gath
ering? Are we
not invited? You all don't need us? What?
Céline: Men are lucky we don't bite off their head after mating. Certain insects d
o that, you know, like spiders, and stuff.
Jesse: MmHmm.
Céline: We, at least, let you live. What are you complaining about?
Jesse: Yes. See, you're officially kidding, but there's something to that, you k
now. You keep bringing stuff like that up.
Céline: What?
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: No, no, no, wait a minute. Talking seriously here. I mean, .. I, I always
feel this pressure of being a strong and independent icon of womanhood, and with
out making...
making it look my... my whole life is revolving around some guy. But Loving some
one, and being loved means so much to me. We always make fun of it and stuff. Bu
t isn't
everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?
Jesse: Hmmm. Yeah, I don't know (they sit on a pile of skids in an alley they ar
e walking through). Sometimes I dream about being a good father and a good husba
nd, and sometimes
that feels really close.
Céline: Hmm.
Jesse: But then, other times, it seems silly. Like, it would, uh, ruin my whole
life. And it's not just a, uh, a fear of commitment, or that I'm incapable of ca
ring, or loving,
because I can. It's just that if I'm totally honest with myself, I think I'd rat
her die knowing that I was really good at something, that I had excelled in some
way, you know,
then that I had just been in a nice, caring relationship.
Céline: Yeah, but I had worked for this older man, and once he told me that he had
spent all of his life thinking about his career and his work, and... he was 52
and it suddenly
struck him that he had never really given anything of himself. His life was for
no one, and nothing. He was almost crying saying that. You know, I believe if th
ere's any kind
of God, it wouldn't be in any of us. Not you, or me... but just this little spac
e in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the atte
mpt of
understanding someone, sharing something (sigh). I know, it's almost impossible
to succeed, but... who cares, really? The answer must be in the attempt.
(They both stare for a while, and then half-sigh, half-laugh)
(in a cafe. Fairly busy, many people)
(Group of three men and three women, having a discussion in German)
(Two men, playing cards, talking about work, or friends -- common, heartfelt dis
cussion)
(Two older men, both with beards. One is speaking very slowly, deliberately, in
German. The other is simply listening)
(Woman sitting alone, reading a book, a finished coffee by her side)
(A man and woman, obviously having been together for a long time. He is fidgety,
she is playing with her pie with a fork, bored)
Man: I really think this is a civilization in decline. Look at the service. I me

s around for
the waitress)
(Two men and a woman, all roughly middle-aged, talking, joking, in reasonably go
od spirits)
(Céline and Jesse sitting at a table, with platters from coffee on the table in fr
ont of them, finished)
Céline: Okay, now I'm going to call my best friend in Paris, who I'm supposed to h
ave lunch with in 8 hours. Okay?
Jesse: (Nods) okay.
Céline: (with her hands mimicking a telephone, lifting it off the base, and puttin
g it to her ear) Dring-Dring. Dring-Dring. Dring-Dring. Pick up!
Jesse: What?
Céline: Pick up the phone.
Jesse: (also mimics a phone with his hand, puts it up to his ear) Oh, hello?
Céline: Àllo?
Jesse: MmHmm.
Céline: Vanie? c'est Celine.
Jesse: Ahh...
Céline: Comment ça va?
Jesse: (wide open eyes, then recognition) Ah, bien, et toi?
Céline: Vanie, ??????????!
Jesse: Ahhh... you - a- I- you know, I've been working on my English, recently,
would you want to talk in English?
Céline: Yeah, okay, that's a good idea. Ummm... I don't think I'm gonna be able to
make it for lunch today, I'm sorry. I... I met a guy on the train, and I got of
f with him in
Vienna. We're still there.
Jesse: ARE-YOU-CRAZY?
Céline: Probably.
Jesse: We.. wa.. he's Austrian, he's from there?
Céline: N-n-n-n-no. He's passing through here too. He's American. He's going back
home tomorrow morning.
Jesse: (mocking a shocked expression) Why'd you get off the train with him?
Céline: Well... he convinced me. Well, actually I was (smiles) I was ready to get
off the train with him after talking to him a short while. He was so sweet, I co
uldn't help it.
(softly) We were in the lounge car, and he began to talk about him, as a little
boy, seeing his great-grandmother's ghost. I think that's when I fell for him. J
ust the idea of
this little boy with all those beautiful dreams. (emphatically) He trapped me.
Jesse: MmHmm.
Céline: And he's so cute! He has beautiful blue eyes, (he closes his eyes) nice bi
g lips, (back-pouts his mouth), greasy hair, (she laughs) I love it. He's kind o
f tall, and a
little clumsy. (softly) I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away. (smiling
) He kind of kisses like an adolescent, its so cute.
Jesse: What?
Céline: Yeah, we kissed. It was so adorable. As the night went on, I began to like
him more and more. But I'm afraid he's scared of me. You know, I told him the s
tory about the
woman that kills her ex-boyfriend, and stuff. He must be scared to death. (Jess
e begins to shake his head, slowly) He must be thinking I'm this manipulative, m
ean woman.
I just hope he doesn't feel that way about me, because you know me, I'm the most
harmless person. The only person I could really hurt is myself.
Jesse: I don't think he's scared of you. I think he's crazy about you.
Céline: Really?
Jesse: I mean, I've known you a long time, and I got a good feeling. You gonna s
ee him again?
Céline: We haven't talked about that yet. (pause -- hangs up 'phone') Okay its you
r turn. You call your friend.
Jesse: Uh...
Céline: Okay?
Jesse: (Hangs up phone, too) Alright, alright. Umm... (thinks) Uh, (picks up 'ph
one', puts to ear) Bring-Bring-Bring. Uh, I usually get this guys answering mach
ine.
Brawwwwwwng.
Céline: (picks up 'phone', mimics American accent) HI DUDE! WHAT'S UP?
Jesse: Uhhhh... Hey Frank, how you been? Glad you're home.
Céline: Cool. Yeah. So, how was Madrid?
Jesse: Uh, Madrid... sucked! You know, Lisa and I had our long-overdue meltdown.
Céline: Oh. Too bad. I told you, no?
Jesse: Yeah, yeah, yeah. The long-distance thing just never works. I was only in
Madrid for a couple of days. I got a cheaper flight, out of Vienna... but, uh,
you know, it
really wasn't that much cheaper. I just, uh... I couldn't go home right away. I
didn't want to see anybody I knew, I just wanted to be a ghost. Completely anony
mous.
Céline: So are you okay, now?
Jesse: Yeah. Yeah, no, no, yeah, I'm great, I'm great! That's the thing, I'm...
I'm rapturous. And I'll tell you why. I met somebody. On my last night in Europe
, can you believe
that?
Céline: Ah, That's incredible.
Jesse: I know, I know. And you know how they say we're all each others' demons a
nd angels? Well, she was literally a Botticelli angel. Just telling me that ever
ything was
gonna be okay.
Céline: How did you meet?
Jesse: On the train. Yeah, she was sitting next to this very weird couple who st
arted fighting so she had to move. She sat right across the aisle from me. So, w
e started to
talk, and, uh, she didn't like me much at first. She's super smart, very passion
ate, um... and beautiful. And I was so unsure of myself. I thought everything I
said sounded so
stupid.
Céline: Oh, man, I wouldn't worry about that.
Jesse: No...
Céline: No, I'm sure she was not judging you. No... And by the way, she sat next t
o you, no? I'm sure she did it on purpose.
Jesse: Oh, Yeah?
Céline: Yeah. Us men are so stupid. We don't understand anything about women.
Jesse: MmMmm.
Céline: They act kind of strange. The little I know of them. Don't they?
Jesse: Yeah.
(on a balcony, overlooking a lower part of the city. Jesse is sitting on the sto
ne rail, Céline is leaning against it)
Jesse: I feel like this is, uh, some dream world we're in, you know.
Céline: Yeah, it's so weird. It's like our time together is just ours. Its our own
creation. It must be like I'm in your dream, and you in mine, or something.
Jesse: And what's so cool is that this whole evening, all our time together, sho
uldn't officially be happening.
Céline: Yeah, I know. Maybe that's why this feels so otherworldly. But then the mo
rning comes, and we turn into pumpkins, right?
Jesse: Ahhh...
Céline: Yeah, I know. (pause) But at this time, I think you're supposed to produce
the glass slipper, and see if it fits.
Jesse: Yeah?
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: It'll fit.
(He leans over. They kiss, then stare out at the city
(On an anchored ship-turned-restaurant, sitting at an elegant table, with a floa
ting candle)
Jesse: This friend of mine had a kid, and it was a home birth, so he was there h
elping out and everything. And he said at that profound moment of birth, uh, he
was watching
this child, experiencing life for the first time, I mean, trying to take it's fi
rst breath... all he could think about was that he was looking at something that
was gonna die
someday. He just couldn't get it out of his head. And I think that's so true, I
mean, all-- everything is so finite. I mean, but, but don't you think that that'
s what, um,
makes our time, at specific moments, so important?
Céline: Yeah, I know. It's the same for us, tonight, though. After tomorrow mornin
g, we're probably never going to see each other again, right?
Jesse: You don't think we'll ever see each other again?
Céline: What do you think?
Jesse: Well, um, gosh, I don't know. uh, I mean, I hadn't planned another trip t
o...
Céline: Oh, Me too, you know. I live in Paris, you live in the US. I totally under
stand that...
Jesse: I mean, I'd hate to make you fly. You know, you hate to fly, right?
Céline: I'm not so scared of flying. I mean I could...
Jesse: I mean, if you were gonna come to the US, or if, you know, I mean, if I,
or you know, I mean, I could come back here, I mean... What?
Céline: Now let's just be rational adults about this. We, maybe we should try some
thing different. I mean, it's not so bad if tonight is our only night, right? Pe
ople always
exchange phone numbers, addresses, they end up writing once, calling each other
once or twice...
Jesse: Right. Fizzles out. Yeah, I mean, I don't want that. I hate that.
Céline: I hate that too, you know.
Jesse: Why do you think everybody thinks relationships are supposed to last fore
ver?
Céline: Yeah, why. It's stupid.
Jesse: So, you think tonight's it, huh? I mean, that, tonight's our only night.
Céline: It's the only way, no?
Jesse: Well, alright. Let's do it. No delusions, no projections. We'll just make
tonight great.
Céline: Okay, let's do that.
Jesse: Okay.
(He points to a pair of musicians, playing on the boat, then looks back at her)
Jesse: We should do some kind of handshake, you know. Give me your hand. (they c
lasp each other's hands, so that all four are clasped together) Alright. To our
one and only
night together, and the hours that remain. (He kisses her hand, and she looks sa
d) What?
Céline: It's just... it's depressing, no? That the... the only thing we're gonna t
hink of is when we're gonna have to say goodbye tomorrow.
Jesse: Well, we could say goodbye now. Then we wouldn't have to worry about it i
n the morning.
Céline: Now?
Jesse: Yeah. Say goodbye.
Céline: Bye.
Jesse: Goodbye.
Céline: (softly) you have a... (with more emphasis) Au revoir.
Jesse: later.
Céline: Later, yeah.
(they stop and stare at each other for a while)
(walking down some stairs into a bar)
Jesse: Alright, so here's the plan, right. You're gonna grab the glasses, and I'
m gonna get the wine.
Céline: Red wine.
Jesse: Red wine. right.
Céline: You think you can do that?
Jesse: No problem.
(they get into the bar, Céline goes over to a table, and Jesse goes up to the bar)

Jesse: (whispers) wish me luck.

Céline: (whispers) okay good luck.
Jesse: (to bartender) Hello.
Bartender: Hello.
Jesse: (as Céline goes over to a table and opens her purse) Uh... Do you speak Eng
lish?
Bartender: Uh, a bit.
Jesse: Yeah, a bit? Well, alright. I'm having kind of an odd situation here, whi
ch is that... Uh, this is... you see that girl over there? (Indicates Céline as sh
e is putting
glasses in purse, she stops, and smiles)
Bartender: Yeah...
Jesse: Yeah, well, this is our only night together. Um, And she, ahh, Alright. H
ere's the problem. The problem is that she wants a bottle of red wine, and I don
't have any
money (Jesse and the bartender start laughing). I was thinking that you might wa
nt to, um, give me the address of this bar (bartender backs away) No, I know...
and I would
promise to send you the money, and you would make our night complete.
Bartender: You would send me the money?
Jesse: Yes.
Bartender: (looks over at Céline, then back at Jesse. Offers hand) Your hand? (The
y shake) Okay. (leaves)
(Céline steals 2nd glass, Jesse gives her an OK gesture)
Bartender: (returns with bottle, looks at it, and gives it to Jesse) For the gre
atest night in your life. (laugh)
Jesse: Thank you very much. (walks away)
in park, lying down, in the dark, drinking wine)
Céline: So often in my life I've been with people, and shared beautiful moments li
ke traveling, or staying up all night and watching the sunrise, and I knew those
were special
moments. But something was always wrong. I wished I'd been with someone else. (T
hey both laugh) I knew that what I was feeling, exactly what was so important to
me, they didn't
understand. But I'm happy to be with you. You couldn't possibly know why a nigh
t like this is so important to my life right now, but it is. This is a great mor
ning.
Jesse: It is a great morning. Do you think we'd have others like this. (Céline smi
les) What?
Céline: What about our rational, adult decision?
Jesse: Oh, yeah. Yeah. I know what you mean about wishing somebody wasn't there,
though. It's just usually it's myself that I wish I could get away from. Seriou
sly, think about
this. I have never been anywhere that I haven't been. I've never had a kiss whe
n I wasn't one of the kissers. You know, I've never, um, gone to the movies, whe
n I wasn't there
in the audience. I've never been out bowling, if I wasn't there, you know makin
g some stupid joke. I think that's why so many people hate themselves. Seriously
, it's just they
Céline: Fucking?
Jesse: Fuh... Fucking? Yeah, that's one way, yeah. (swallows breath, turns away)

Céline: (Turning towards Jesse) Do you know what I want?

Jesse: What?
Céline: To be kissed.
Jesse: Well, I can do that. (they kiss, he starts to go down her neck)
Céline: Wait! (she stops him, and sits up) I have to say something stupid.
Jesse: Alright.
Céline: It's very stupid.
Jesse: Okay.
Céline: I don't think we should sleep together. I mean, I want to, but since we're
never gonna see each other again... it'll make me feel bad. I won't know who el
se you're
with. I'll miss you. (she lies down beside him) I know. It's not very adult. May
be it's a female thing, I can't help it.
Jesse: Let's see each other again.
Céline: No, I don't want you to break our vow, just so you can get laid. (they lau
gh)
Jesse: I don't want to just get laid. I want to um, I mean, I mean, I think we s
hould. I mean, we'll be done in the morning, right? I think we should.
Céline: No, then it's like some male fantasy. Meet a french girl on a train, fuck
her, and never see her again. That would be this great story to tell, I don't wa
nt to be a
great story. I don't want this great evening to just have been for that.
Jesse: Alright. Alright, alright, alright. Okay.
Céline: Okay?
Jesse: Okay. We don't have to have sex. It's not a big deal.
Céline: Okay. (long pause) You don't want to see me again?
Jesse: (laughs) No, of course I do. Listen, if somebody gave me the choice right
now, of to never see you again or to marry you, alright, I would marry you, alr
ight. And maybe
that's a lot of romantic bullshit, but people have gotten married for a lot less
.
Céline: Actually, I think I had decided I wanted to sleep with you when we got off
the train. But now that we've talked so much, I don't know anymore.
(Jesse sighs of frustration. Céline laughs, then leans over to kiss him)
Céline: Why do I make everything so complicated?
Jesse: I don't know.
(They kiss again)
(In park... sun is up, birds are chirping)
(Scene cuts to city, where Jesse and Céline are walking along a street. Harpsichor
d music plays in the background)
Jesse: What do you think's the first thing you're gonna do when you get back to
Paris?
Céline: Call my parents.
Jesse: Yeah?
Céline: What about you?
Jesse: I don't know... I'll probably go pick up my dog. He's staying with a frie
nd of mine.
Céline: You have a dog?
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: I love dogs.
Jesse: You do?
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: Oh shit.
Céline: What?
Jesse: Oh, I don't know. We're back in real time.
Céline: I know. I hate that.
Jesse: What is that? (notices sound, and walks towards it)
Céline: Sounds like a harpsichord.
Jesse: Check that out (looks into basement window, where there is a man playing
a harpsichord) (whispers) Cool.
(Jesse pulls Céline to the side of the window)
Jesse: can We dance to the harpsichord.
Céline: Of course. (they dance a bit)
Jesse: (looking at her. He stops her dancing) Oh, wow.
Céline: What?
Jesse: Uh.... I'm gonna take your picture. (puts her at arms length, and stares)
So I never forget you or, uh, or all this.
Céline: Okay. Me too.
(She stops and stares at him too. He leans over and they kiss. Eventually, they
stop, and walk away holding hands)
(Camera shows various views of the landmarks of Vienna, stopping at a statue in
a square, upon which Jesse sits while Céline lies with her head on his lap)
Jesse: And the years shall run like rabbits.
Céline: (opens her eyes and looks up at him) What?
Jesse: (shakes his head) Nothing. Nothing. I have this, uh, recording of Dylan T
homas, reading a W.H. Auden poem. He's got a great voice. You just... It's like,
uh...
Céline: What, what?
Jesse:
All the clocks in the city
Began to whir, and chime.
Oh, let not time deceive you,
You can not conquer time.
In headaches and in worry,
Vaguely life leaks away.
And time will have its fancy,
Tomorrow, or today.
Hm. Something like that.
Céline: It's good. (pause) When you talked earlier about after a few years, how a
couple begin to hate each other, by anticipating their reactions, or getting tir
ed of their
mannerisms. I think it would be the opposite for me. I think I could really fall
in love when I know everything about someone. The way he's gonna part his hair.
Which shirt
he's gonna wear that day. Knowing the exact story he'd tell in a given situation
. I'm sure that's when I'd know I'm really in love. (they stop and stare for a w
hile)
Jesse: Hey guess what?
Céline: What?
Jesse: We didn't go to those guys' play.
Céline: Play?
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: The cow?
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: (laughs) Yeah, we didn't. Oh no, we missed it. (sigh)
(in train station. Jesse and Céline walk side by side, together holding her bag be
tween them)
(Voice over loudspeaker makes inaudible announcement)
Céline: Okay, you know what bus you're taking to the airport?
Jesse: Yeah, yeah. No problem.
Céline: I should get on this one. (pointing to a coach. They stop)
Jesse: Right here? You want to get on there?
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: Alright. Um...
Céline: Okay. I guess this is it, no? (they hold hands)
Jesse: (breathing heavy, like after workout or from anxiety) Yeah. Um, I really,
(a couple of deep breaths) I, uh, I... I mean, you know what I mean.
Céline: Yeah, I know what -- I, uh. Yeha, My... Have a great life. Have fun with e
verything you're gonna do. Work hard...
Jesse: Yeah. Good luck in school, and all that.
Céline: Okay.
Jesse: I hate this.
Céline: Me too. My train is about to leave.
Jesse: Yeah.
(they kiss, hug. They stop, and from this point on their voices are rushed)
Jesse: Listen. Listen. You know all this bullshit we're talking about, about not
seeing each other again? I don't want to do that.
Céline: I don't want to do that either.
Jesse: You don't either?
Céline: I was waiting for you to say something.
Jesse: Well, why didn't you say something?
Céline: I was afraid maybe you didn't want to see me.
Jesse: Alright, alright, well look. Listen, listen. What-d... what-d... What do
you want to do?
Céline: Maybe... maybe we should meet here, in five years or something.
Jesse: Alright, alright. Five years. Five years? That's a long time.
Céline: Yes. It's awful. It's like a sociological experiment. How about one year?
Jesse: One year. Alright, alright.
Céline: One year.
Jesse: How about six months?
Céline: Six months?
Jesse: Yeah.
Céline: Its gonna be freezing. (she starts laughing)
Jesse: Yeah? (He starts laughing)
Céline: Yeah.
Jesse: Who cares? We come here, we go somewhere else.
Céline: Okay. Okay. Uh, six months from now, or last night?
Jesse: Um... Last night. Six months from last night, which was, uh, uh, June 16t
h. So uh, Track Nine, six months from now, at six o'clock at night.
Céline: Dece-- December.
Jesse: December, yeah, right. Now listen, it's a train ride for you, but I got t
o fly all the way over here and shit like that, alright, but I'm going to be her
e.
Céline: Okay, me too.
Jesse: Alright.
Céline: And we're not gonna call or write or...
Jesse: Na...
Céline: Na.
Jesse: It's depressing.
Céline: Yeah, okay.
Jesse: Alright. (they kiss) Alright, your train's gonna leave. Say goodbye.
Céline: Bye.
Jesse: Goodbye.
Céline: Au revoir.
Jesse: Later.

ain leaves)
