110:00:37:2310:00:41:18
My life's been one long,
fruitful journey towards idiocy.
210:00:43:1610:00:45:21
As a teenager,
I realised I was an idiot.
310:00:46:0010:00:48:19
Later, I discovered
I wasn't the only one.
410:00:49:1310:00:53:13
Now that I'm pushing 35, I see
that not only is everyone an idiot
510:00:53:1710:00:55:21
but that we'll never stop being so.
610:01:02:1310:01:04:18
IDIOT LOVE
710:02:38:0010:02:41:18
-He's always late. Cheers!
-Happy birthday!
810:02:46:0710:02:47:09
Here he is.
910:02:47:1310:02:49:18
You're late, Pere-Lluc.
The meal's served.
1010:02:49:2210:02:52:00
-I had a few gin and tonics.
-Right.
1110:02:52:0410:02:53:21
Godfather, this is for you.
1210:02:54:0010:02:55:16
For me? Thank you.
1310:02:55:2010:02:57:18
No champagne for me?
1410:02:57:2210:03:00:22
-I'll be back in a minute.
-Fine.
1510:03:01:0110:03:04:04
His prostrate.
He doesn't want it mentioning.
1610:03:05:2210:03:07:05
Listen...
1710:03:08:2310:03:10:22
My friends.
1810:03:12:1010:03:13:15
Just a minute.
1910:03:13:1910:03:18:14
Idiocy is like woodworm in old wood,
it rots us to the core.
2010:03:19:1810:03:21:22
At fifteen we're already
incurable idiots.
2110:03:22:0110:03:26:02
It's a mould which sets at that age.
You stay like that till you die.
2210:03:26:0610:03:30:15
That's why I haven't got kids.
And I don't think I'll ever have any.
2310:03:30:1910:03:32:18
I don't want to create
any more idiots.
2410:03:32:2410:03:34:00
Here, here!
2510:03:34:1810:03:36:07
Thank God.
2610:03:37:0010:03:38:08
Just a minute.
2710:03:38:1310:03:42:05
On this notable day in our work
calendar, I shall be carrying out
2810:03:42:0910:03:43:22
an act of atonement.
2910:03:44:1010:03:48:22
Just as Our Lord sacrificed his life
to save us all,
3010:03:49:0110:03:53:19
so will I, in the most public
and symbolically humiliating way,
3110:03:55:0710:03:57:07
offer up my dick.
3210:04:00:1510:04:02:17
After unzipping my fly,
3310:04:02:2110:04:05:17
I'm going to place my virile member
here,
3410:04:05:2310:04:09:22
alongside the meatballs and the meat,
like another sausage.
3510:04:12:1210:04:14:10
And with this fork,
3610:04:15:0010:04:17:23
which destiny has brought into play
before its time...
3710:04:29:0510:04:31:17
Don't do it.
You'll be maimed for life.
3810:04:32:0710:04:33:07
Stop it!
3910:04:34:1810:04:38:06
I'm sick and tired
of this show of childishness.
4010:04:38:1210:04:40:04
But let's not forget
I'm an idiot.
4110:04:40:0810:04:43:10
Give me that.
The joke's over.
4210:04:44:2210:04:46:07
If you don't mind...
4310:04:50:1110:04:52:11
What were you thinking of!
4410:04:56:0210:04:57:21
Why are you all so quiet?
4510:05:05:0610:05:07:12
I think I've wet myself.
4610:05:18:1810:05:23:03
After a lifetime of intense idiocy,
can you reach rock bottom?
4710:05:23:1310:05:27:09
Experience shows that no, you can
always be a bit more of an idiot.
4810:05:29:2210:05:32:17
My case proves that.
It's the only explanation
4910:05:32:2110:05:36:24
for the pathetic and immature
exhibition I've just starred in.
5010:05:40:0510:05:43:04
Barcelona, ancient and Olympic
Mediterranean capital.
5110:05:43:0810:05:45:19
Proud,
its indigenous inhabitants
5210:05:45:2310:05:50:00
claim that it lacks the character
of the big European metropolises.
5310:05:50:0410:05:52:10
But despite this, they don't leave.
5410:05:52:1410:05:56:22
Disorientated, it takes in foreigners
who deride it for being provincial.
5510:05:57:0510:06:00:19
They don't accept that it is as it is
and not as they'd like it to be.
5610:06:00:2310:06:03:02
But even so, they stay.
5710:06:05:0810:06:08:05
Barcelona is like an old lady
who was rejuvenated
5810:06:08:0910:06:10:15
by an Olympic face-lift
5910:06:10:1910:06:14:09
and who can't understand why
suddenly, every day is like Monday
6010:06:14:1710:06:18:22
or why they've suddenly taken back
her VIP pass for world history.
6110:06:20:1810:06:22:09
And in the middle
are the ones
6210:06:22:1310:06:27:08
who float like beggars' frozen turds
on the oily waters of the quay.
6310:06:27:1210:06:29:11
People trying to keep afloat.
6410:06:29:1510:06:31:11
Myself included.
6510:06:33:1810:06:35:24
A listener with a voice,
but no vote.
6610:06:39:0710:06:43:03
Pere-Lluc, it's Peyró.
Bad news, man.
6710:06:43:0810:06:47:07
Sorry to tell you like this,
but Nicco Zenone's dead.
6810:06:47:1110:06:51:20
I just arrived from Argentina and
found out. It happened in December.
6910:06:55:1810:06:57:07
Nicco, the great Nicco,
7010:06:57:1610:07:00:04
well-known for
his marvellous shows.
7110:07:00:0810:07:03:07
But to me, he was the best friend
I'd ever had.
7210:07:04:2410:07:07:00
An actor and theatre director,
a pure Argentinean.
7310:07:07:0410:07:10:02
It wasn't logic made me believe
you are perfection.
7410:07:11:1010:07:13:20
His job meant he travelled,
that's how we met.
7510:07:16:1010:07:19:11
He lived in San Telmo, Buenos Aires,
with his wife, Vera.
7610:07:20:0510:07:22:13
We made an effort
to keep our friendship alive,
7710:07:22:1710:07:26:00
we often phoned, but might not
see each other for months.
7810:07:26:0410:07:28:23
We'd spent the last ten years
meeting up at least once a year.
7910:07:29:0210:07:32:01
What I don't offload,
I end up swallowing.
8010:07:32:0510:07:35:12
Once, I spent three weeks
with them in Buenos Aires.
8110:07:36:1210:07:40:11
You know something?
Freedom is achieved by sharing it.
8210:07:40:2010:07:44:12
On his own, a man loses
his solidarity and humanity.
8310:07:46:0410:07:48:11
Two years ago, he came through
severe hepatitis...
8410:07:48:1510:07:50:20
I've never been afraid of dying,
8510:07:51:0510:07:55:03
but I almost shit myself
worrying about it a few times.
8610:07:56:0810:07:58:06
You're as unoriginal as the rest.
8710:07:58:2210:08:01:22
I could turn up at their place
uninvited, even if they were away.
8810:08:02:0110:08:05:13
The door was always
wide open to travellers.
8910:08:07:1710:08:11:04
His presence in my life was,
to put it like an idiot,
9010:08:11:0810:08:14:21
like a branch I could grab
to keep from falling off the edge.
9110:08:15:1810:08:17:10
Now that branch has broken.
9210:08:17:1410:08:19:00
Buenos Aires, Argentina.
9310:08:19:0410:08:21:17
Vera o Nicco Zenone.
Humberto Iº.
9410:08:22:2210:08:26:18
Phoning his wife in the middle
of the night won't help me.
9510:08:26:2210:08:30:06
Luckily for us both,
I can't reach her.
9610:08:33:1210:08:36:11
I'm down and go to drink
to my deceased friend's health.
9710:08:41:1510:08:43:22
I can't stop thinking
about Nicco's death.
9810:08:48:1510:08:51:11
It's an attack of betrayal,
an enormous con.
9910:09:23:0210:09:24:12
Christ...
10010:09:29:1510:09:31:02
Are you hurt?
10110:09:33:1010:09:36:04
We can go to a chemist's.
That's a bad bump.
10210:09:44:0010:09:46:12
Well, sorry,
I have to get back to work.
10310:11:20:0310:11:21:07
Hi.
10410:11:23:0410:11:24:17
In the Gelida.
10510:11:25:0110:11:27:10
But don't be long, ok?
I'm tired.
10610:11:30:0710:11:34:24
We'll carry on tomorrow.
Three streets. Just three streets.
10710:12:18:1310:12:20:11
I work with my godfather.
10810:12:21:0210:12:24:17
He turned his old agency
into a school for business
10910:12:24:2110:12:26:05
and financial consultancy.
11010:12:28:0010:12:30:22
Obesity as a risk factor.
Let's see...
11110:12:31:0110:12:34:16
I was lucky to have him.
He took me on at my lowest point.
11210:12:34:2010:12:37:18
I had just given up teaching
and, as I was an idiot,
11310:12:37:2210:12:40:04
I hadn't made other plans.
11410:12:40:0910:12:44:14
I organise courses and conferences,
with quite satisfactory results.
11510:12:45:0010:12:49:10
... cancer of the colon, kidneys,
endometrium and oesophagus,
11610:12:49:1610:12:53:03
can be attributed equally to being
overweight or to lack of exercise.
11710:12:53:1210:12:56:11
A more active lifestyle is required
11810:12:56:2310:12:59:03
both physically and intellectually.
11910:13:01:0710:13:02:23
You don't look well.
12010:13:03:0210:13:07:03
-I'm not used to people I love dying.
-Pere-Lluc...
12110:13:07:1610:13:11:02
Human beings, like animals,
create affectionate ties.
12210:13:11:0610:13:15:01
Monkeys love and hate,
but they lack the ability to reflect.
12310:13:15:0510:13:18:01
-So?
-Nothing. You're messed up.
12410:13:18:0510:13:22:03
Even more than when your father died:
you were younger, and he was old.
12510:13:22:0710:13:24:05
You're older.
This guy was your age.
12610:13:24:0910:13:28:08
Savour his memory and help those
closest to him, they need it more.
12710:13:28:1210:13:31:10
If you were really friends,
that is...
12810:13:31:1610:13:34:00
Anyway, what's with the bump?
12910:13:34:0410:13:36:20
I walked into a ladder...
13010:13:37:1410:13:39:14
You're so thin-skinned.
13110:13:39:2210:13:43:13
I think something you took
during your hippy phase
13210:13:43:2110:13:47:00
has had a lasting effect on you.
See you.
13310:13:48:0810:13:52:14
My godfather made a fortune through
an intuition for the sign of the times
13410:13:52:2110:13:54:03
money.
13510:13:56:1910:13:58:05
I've got two friends,
13610:13:58:1310:14:01:16
Jordina Valldejolí,
my godfather's right-hand.
13710:14:03:0510:14:04:14
She got married, had a son,
13810:14:04:1810:14:07:15
got divorced and now,
lives with her kid.
13910:14:08:0210:14:12:03
We're very close. That's more
than many couples can say.
14010:14:12:0910:14:15:09
We made love once,
she was sad and lonely.
14110:14:15:1310:14:18:06
We hugged, and one thing
led to another.
14210:14:19:1510:14:21:11
She's in love with Àlex Mallol,
14310:14:21:1510:14:24:19
my other friend and
third pillar of the company.
14410:14:24:2310:14:29:15
It's a secret love. He's laid back,
but not very sentimental.
14510:14:31:2410:14:34:09
He lives an apparently placid
married life.
14610:14:34:1310:14:36:08
Àlex and I are old friends.
14710:14:36:1210:14:39:10
We shared a house
about 15 years ago.
14810:14:39:1910:14:43:02
He's as idiotic as I am,
but manages failure differently.
14910:14:45:0510:14:46:23
They often introduce me to girls.
15010:14:47:0210:14:49:17
I met my last girlfriend
thanks to Jordina.
15110:14:49:2110:14:53:16
It was my longest relationship:
eight and a half months.
15210:14:53:2010:14:55:15
It lasted because,
even if you're an idiot,
15310:14:55:1910:14:58:06
a salary makes idiocy
easier to take.
15410:14:58:1410:14:59:24
It was nothing!
15510:15:00:0310:15:02:05
I told you, anyone but Silvia.
15610:15:02:0910:15:06:13
She left, saying she couldn't be with
such an emotionally unstable person.
15710:15:09:0810:15:11:10
A while ago, I was sleeping
with a radical feminist
15810:15:11:1410:15:14:05
who was seeing
one of my best friends.
15910:15:14:2010:15:18:20
He had gone abroad to Mexico,
on a one-way ticket.
16010:15:21:1210:15:26:12
Penetration is forbidden, as are
passionate and/or French kisses.
16110:15:27:1510:15:28:23
Pardon?
16210:15:29:0210:15:31:09
It is an intolerable aggression
to my body,
16310:15:31:1310:15:33:20
besides,
I am in love with Xavi.
16410:15:33:2410:15:35:21
That's neither incompatible
nor contradictory.
16510:15:36:0010:15:38:02
You men are animals.
16610:15:38:0610:15:42:09
As long as our vaginas
are lubricated for penetration
16710:15:42:1310:15:46:03
and we shut our mouths
about and around your penises,
16810:15:46:1110:15:48:19
you don't want or need
anything else!
16910:15:48:2310:15:51:00
I never argued.
Deep down, I agreed with her.
17010:15:51:0410:15:54:13
That way we went to bed quicker,
which was what we both wanted.
17110:15:54:2110:15:57:18
I accepted making love to her
without penetration or kisses,
17210:15:57:2210:16:01:02
all the other immense possibilities
still remained open.
17310:16:01:1010:16:03:23
My love life has always been rocky.
17410:16:05:2310:16:08:15
My last stable relationship
was three years ago.
17510:16:08:1910:16:10:04
That's lovely...
17610:16:12:0510:16:16:04
In between, a few hard-won flings,
for appearances sake.
17710:16:18:1110:16:22:02
My habits are pretty normal,
in terms of quantity and quality.
17810:16:24:1210:16:29:12
It could be said I have
a tendency towards masturbation,
17910:16:30:0110:16:31:21
but nothing out of this world.
18010:16:34:2210:16:38:03
Nicco comes back to me,
as alive as me.
18110:16:38:1610:16:40:15
For five months,
I thought he was alive.
18210:16:40:1910:16:43:22
No premonitions,
no fucking telepathy.
18310:16:45:1710:16:48:03
The ring roads are ideal
to help you think.
18410:16:50:1510:16:54:03
I start doing laps,
like on a merry-go-round.
18510:16:58:1610:17:02:21
It's miraculous, you go forward
and end up back where you started.
18610:17:03:1910:17:08:00
I know how the first seafarers felt
when they proved the world was round.
18710:17:10:0610:17:14:08
Like a dog that lost the trail,
I catch the girl's scent again.
18810:17:41:0010:17:43:15
-Long live Barça!
-Long live Barça.
18910:17:45:2010:17:50:02
I saw you working a few days ago.
I might be interested in hiring you.
19010:17:51:0510:17:53:13
I even followed you a while
to see how you did it.
19110:17:53:1710:17:55:01
I didn't see you.
19210:17:55:0510:17:58:00
The girl and her husband own
the company, talk to them.
19310:17:58:1110:18:00:04
Right.
19410:18:00:0810:18:02:10
It's amazing how hard she works.
19510:18:02:1410:18:06:03
Especially considering she's
the boss. But she likes the work.
19610:18:06:0710:18:08:17
We compete some nights
and she always beats me.
19710:18:08:2110:18:12:21
I don't care either way.
But it's all I've got. Why else?
19810:18:13:0010:18:16:13
Know what I'd do with the bloody
banners if I won the lottery?
19910:18:20:0510:18:23:09
-Where is she, then?
-Having a coffee. She won't be long.
20010:18:23:1310:18:27:05
-Well, I'll get in touch tomorrow.
-She'll be back in five minutes.
20110:18:27:0910:18:30:23
No, it doesn't matter. It's late
and it's not that urgent.
20210:18:31:0210:18:33:00
-Long live Barça!
-Yeah.
20310:19:01:1110:19:03:13
I wish I knew what to say to you.
20410:19:10:0210:19:12:04
I wish I knew what to say to you.
20510:19:12:1110:19:14:14
A gin and tonic, please.
20610:19:19:2210:19:22:11
A gin and tonic for the lady,
please.
20710:19:43:1710:19:45:15
One of the most gratifying things
about being an idiot
20810:19:45:1910:19:49:02
is that you don't have to waste time
justifying your actions.
20910:19:51:1110:19:53:16
Sorry, have you been waiting long?
21010:19:55:2310:19:57:11
Come in.
21110:19:57:1510:19:59:01
Come in, come in.
21210:20:02:0910:20:04:06
I just had to pop out.
21310:20:04:1010:20:07:15
Right. How can I help you, sir?
21410:20:08:0710:20:10:03
Haven't we met before?
21510:20:11:0710:20:13:24
Yes, the other night,
I bumped into your ladder.
21610:20:14:0310:20:15:24
Of course. How's your head?
21710:20:17:1010:20:19:07
Better, it's much better.
21810:20:21:0110:20:23:08
And you're interested in
one of our services, sir?
21910:20:23:1210:20:27:03
I like this a lot. The 'sir' treatment
has got me wildly excited.
22010:20:27:0710:20:29:09
It's like living in a French
'nouvelle vague' film.
22110:20:30:0610:20:33:14
Sorry, but if I don't do this,
I'll forget. I'm stocktaking.
22210:20:33:2410:20:37:10
You should know that
we're the best in this line.
22310:20:37:1410:20:39:15
But...
There's always a but, isn't there?
22410:20:40:1110:20:43:05
My husband and I have agreed
not to put up banners
22510:20:43:0910:20:45:05
which go against our ideas.
22610:20:45:0910:20:48:08
And anyway, if it's urgent,
we can't do it right away.
22710:20:49:1210:20:53:03
No problem. I still don't know
what I'll be putting on the banners.
22810:20:55:0310:20:57:24
I don't quite get it. Don't you know
what you'll be advertising?
22910:20:58:2210:20:59:22
Exactly.
23010:21:01:0910:21:05:19
The town council only lets you put up
cultural or political banners...
23110:21:07:0210:21:09:08
Yes, of course.
I knew that.
23210:21:09:1210:21:14:05
I get it. You mean you don't know
how to write it or design it, right?
23310:21:15:1710:21:16:18
Exactly.
23410:21:16:2210:21:20:07
And meanwhile, you're comparing
the companies who offer this service.
23510:21:20:1110:21:23:05
-To save time, right?
-Yes.
23610:21:23:2210:21:26:04
Great, I'll show you the difference.
23710:21:26:1310:21:29:01
They'll all try to persuade you
canvas is best.
23810:21:29:0510:21:32:11
And they'd be right, it's tougher,
but it costs ten times more.
23910:21:32:1510:21:35:23
We work with a special plastic
imitation from Germany.
24010:21:36:0210:21:38:12
Same benefits,
more competitive price...
24110:21:41:2410:21:43:24
You've no idea what
you're advertising?
24210:21:46:0510:21:47:11
No... No.
24310:21:47:1710:21:50:03
No. This is a bit strange...
24410:21:50:0710:21:54:22
Yes, but don't worry. I just want
a price list and invoicing details.
24510:21:55:0110:21:56:08
That all depends.
24610:21:56:2010:22:00:06
On the material, quantities,
colours and the time of year...
24710:22:00:1010:22:04:19
I need to know if you have banners,
or if you want them printing too.
24810:22:04:2310:22:06:20
The price varies,
depending on the service.
24910:22:06:2410:22:08:17
I'm sure it'll be reasonable.
25010:22:09:1710:22:12:23
Well, if you still haven't got
a banner, we should wait.
25110:22:16:2110:22:19:00
I feel like a slug.
25210:22:23:1310:22:27:12
I wouldn't like her to cultivate
the idea that I'm an idiot.
25310:22:28:0110:22:30:02
She'll find out in time.
25410:22:31:0810:22:32:10
There's no rush.
25510:22:41:1410:22:44:16
I've reconsidered,
I'll give you all the work.
25610:22:44:2110:22:46:15
Imitation canvas banners.
25710:22:47:2310:22:51:10
Wonderful. It's a practical
and intelligent decision.
25810:22:51:2310:22:53:12
Just a minute, please.
25910:22:55:2010:22:58:22
Here you are. These are the prices
and a bank form.
26010:22:59:0110:23:02:24
Read it in your own time.
There's information on loans.
26110:23:03:0310:23:06:17
I doubt they'll give you one,
but there's no harm in trying.
26210:23:06:2410:23:09:13
If we all thought like that,
we'd be in trouble,
26310:23:09:1710:23:11:08
especially those of us
without a cent.
26410:23:11:1210:23:15:08
Don't worry, once you have the crux
of the message, the ideas will flow.
26510:23:16:0810:23:17:10
Sure.
26610:23:34:1910:23:36:04
-Hello.
-Pere-Lluc?
26710:23:36:0810:23:37:08
Vera?
26810:23:37:1210:23:39:16
Nicco had a severe heart attack.
26910:23:41:1510:23:43:06
He was sitting in his rocking chair,
27010:23:43:1010:23:46:16
naked, because it was summer
and no one could see him.
27110:23:58:0010:23:59:00
Nicco!
27210:23:59:1410:24:00:19
Nicco!
27310:24:17:2310:24:19:11
Nicco...
27410:24:20:0210:24:22:07
Nicco Zenone.
27510:24:25:0810:24:27:10
The uncertainty tortured me.
27610:24:27:1410:24:30:19
Not knowing if it had been
in my hands to save him
27710:24:31:1410:24:34:12
I wanted someone to come
and punish me,
27810:24:34:1610:24:36:17
punish me really hard...
27910:24:37:0210:24:40:11
Vera, promise me
you'll come and visit me.
28010:24:40:1510:24:45:03
It's a bit difficult at the moment.
We'll keep in touch. Ciao.
28110:24:48:1710:24:51:01
I've got to calm down
and forget Nicco.
28210:24:51:2210:24:55:11
I'll concentrate on the girl,
the banners, and the husband.
28310:24:55:1510:24:58:10
They're easy to find.
They won't get away.
28410:25:01:2210:25:06:04
Stress is an everyday problem
with many negative effects,
28510:25:06:2010:25:10:10
not only on mental health,
but also on physical health.
28610:25:10:1410:25:15:01
Gastrointestinal and cardiovascular
problems, headaches, flu...
28710:25:15:1310:25:17:24
I've prepared the course
conscientiously.
28810:25:18:1910:25:20:15
But it's hard to concentrate.
28910:25:22:1810:25:27:04
An unstressed worker is synonymous
of a productive worker.
29010:25:27:1410:25:30:21
I don't know why you want it
and I won't ask.
29110:25:31:0010:25:35:06
But when it comes to banks,
the outcome is never clear cut.
29210:25:35:1310:25:39:19
I'll be your guarantor but you'll
face the consequences alone.
29310:25:40:0810:25:43:16
Talking to the bank
is like asking for a subsidy
29410:25:44:0910:25:46:15
they want you to show them
everything.
29510:25:46:1910:25:49:20
Financially, you're butt-naked
in front of them.
29610:25:49:2410:25:53:00
They want your last four
tax returns.
29710:25:53:0410:25:56:03
They're not interested in the fifth.
Know why?
29810:25:56:0710:25:57:18
It's no longer valid.
29910:25:57:2210:26:00:22
They don't care if five years ago
you were a model citizen
30010:26:01:0110:26:02:18
or the century's biggest crook.
30110:26:03:0510:26:05:07
Banks are like God,
they ask for everything,
30210:26:05:1110:26:07:12
and in the end,
turn you down.
30310:26:09:0910:26:10:18
How much do you need?
30410:26:12:0610:26:13:19
Twelve thousand.
30510:26:14:1610:26:15:16
Fuck.
30610:28:05:1410:28:06:24
And now what?
30710:28:07:0310:28:10:20
It should be time to go home,
even idiocy has its limits.
30810:28:10:2410:28:12:06
But not mine.
30910:28:12:1010:28:17:10
After years of practice, it's huge,
gigantic, colossal, bulimic.
31010:29:36:2110:29:39:24
I'm pushing my luck too far.
That's enough.
31110:29:46:1210:29:48:01
What I've done
really turns me on.
31210:29:49:1210:29:53:02
Most disturbingly, the further
I go, the less regrets I have.
31310:29:58:2210:30:02:21
After years of lethargy, my life has
stopped being placid and confusing.
31410:30:08:0810:30:11:10
My idiocy, indomitable,
active, playful,
31510:30:11:1410:30:13:08
pushes me back to her house.
31610:30:15:1610:30:17:07
One, a hundred, a thousand,
31710:30:18:2410:30:20:10
a million times.
31810:30:23:0010:30:26:10
I'm excited, despite the thought
that even as a peeping tom
31910:30:26:1410:30:28:05
I'll never be anything special.
32010:30:31:2210:30:34:20
And that sooner or later,
I'm heading for disaster.
32110:30:38:0110:30:40:10
I enter a world of unknown
but real sensations,
32210:30:42:0510:30:45:04
created from the most naked
and penetrating reality
32310:30:48:1510:30:52:02
which gives form, substance
and meaning to existence.
32410:30:53:0710:30:57:02
It's as if I've pressed a button
and everything has speeded up.
32510:30:58:0910:31:02:10
One inconvenience of being an idiot
is a tendency to slow life down.
32610:31:04:0710:31:07:15
And if you let yourself go,
as I have over recent years,
32710:31:09:1410:31:12:23
you hit absolute rock bottom
without even realising it.
32810:31:14:0510:31:17:05
Maybe, at last,
I've found my way to atone.
32910:31:21:0110:31:25:05
To atone for the idiocy of reaching
35 with nothing to show for it.
33010:31:29:0110:31:32:11
Ours is a generation of idiots
who won't be mentioned anywhere.
33110:31:36:1710:31:38:13
A generational black hole.
33210:31:41:0510:31:43:07
Just spying on her,
I'll be atoning.
33310:31:45:1210:31:47:23
Just atoning, I'll spy on her.
33410:31:51:0610:31:53:10
I've been living a double life.
33510:31:53:2410:31:55:17
I've fallen in love.
33610:31:56:1610:31:59:22
And as I haven't the balls
to talk to her, I spy on her.
33710:32:02:1010:32:05:00
You're weird, really weird.
33810:32:05:2110:32:08:00
You ride the ring roads
like a fairground,
33910:32:08:0410:32:09:20
you get your cock out
in public,
34010:32:09:2410:32:11:23
and now you're stalking someone.
34110:32:13:0610:32:15:24
At least you could
take advantage of it.
34210:32:16:0310:32:18:10
And how should I do that,
wiseguy?
34310:32:18:1810:32:21:17
You're just like John Merrick,
the elephant man.
34410:32:21:2110:32:23:10
You're a monster.
34510:32:24:0610:32:27:09
And you know what advantages
being a monster can have?
34610:32:27:1610:32:28:17
Beats me.
34710:32:29:1010:32:33:08
We normal lot think that people
who have been fucked up in life
34810:32:33:1210:32:36:21
by some physical disability,
are really the wise.
34910:32:37:0010:32:38:14
-Really?
-Yes.
35010:32:38:1810:32:42:13
We assume that they're above
any kind of meanness.
35110:32:42:1710:32:46:05
Even if they're bad, their hatred
is not only accepted and forgiven,
35210:32:46:0910:32:50:14
but considered a demonstration
of the greatness of their spirit.
35310:32:50:1810:32:54:24
The more fucked up they are,
the wiser you think they are.
35410:32:55:1310:32:57:20
-So what?
-So, put yourself in their place
35510:32:57:2410:33:02:14
and think of all the power they
could have over the rest of us.
35610:33:03:0710:33:06:17
You're an exaggerating, hypocritical,
cynical son of a bitch.
35710:33:06:2110:33:10:12
Think what you like, but it's true.
And you're just the same.
35810:33:10:1610:33:14:04
No. You're mixing up being weird
with being an idiot.
35910:33:14:1510:33:17:07
Know what? I'm going
to spy on her again tonight.
36010:33:26:2310:33:28:21
He always has grass on him.
36110:33:29:0010:33:31:03
For him, smoking is a way of
communicating
36210:33:31:0710:33:33:18
like talking on the telephone.
36310:33:34:1110:33:37:21
Sometimes, it's hard to tell
if he's sad or stoned.
36410:33:58:1710:34:02:11
One advantage of being an idiot is
you needn't justify your actions.
36510:34:05:1710:34:09:06
One disadvantage is that you pile up
mistakes more quickly.
36610:34:09:1910:34:14:03
As I gain confidence,
I become more and more daring.
36710:34:28:0010:34:30:22
Only an idiot would creep around
the house in this weather.
36810:34:31:0110:34:33:09
Each time I take fewer precautions.
36910:34:52:2210:34:54:09
It's obvious she's suspicious.
37010:34:55:1010:34:57:16
And she's so headstrong
that, with or without husband,
37110:34:57:2010:35:00:08
my spying days are numbered.
37210:35:20:0210:35:21:21
No! No!
37310:35:28:0610:35:30:09
No! Please!
37410:35:30:1510:35:34:00
Stop screaming, or I'll smash
your face against the floor.
37510:35:34:0410:35:35:08
Shut up.
37610:35:37:2110:35:40:21
That's right. Don't be afraid,
