Eddie :
You think that's How it is?
Kevin Spacey (on The Phone) :
Well, as it turns out,
I am free tonight.
Yeah. Absolutely.
Give me about 15 minutes.
Hey, you know, funerals, sex, death.
I'm gonna go out and play.
Kevin Spacey :
You should go to bed, Eddie.
Take Care of Yourself --
Phil would Want You
to Get Your Rest.
Eddie :
Where do you get the
goddamn cynicism...
the goddamn scorn
to Speak His NAME,
let alone Speak FOR Him?
Kevin Spacey :
Eddie, is everything My Fault?
Eddie :
What did you ever do but
mock him and put him down?
Phil, Speaking through
Kevin Spacey :
Why don't you relent? I beg you.
Eddie (doesn’t hear it) :
No. You're not saying...
You ever did one good thing for him.
One helpful thing!
Kevin Spacey :
No, Eddie, What I'm Saying is
that -- unlike You --
I never LIED to him.
Eddie :
You never loved him, either.
Kevin Spacey :
Right, Eddie. Good Taste does,
no doubt, deprive me of
a great many things.
Eddie :
No guts!
No originality! No guts!
Kevin Spacey :
You know you want this goddamn, ultramodern, post-hip,
fucking comprehensive
explanation of everything --
by which you uncover
the preceding events
which determine
the following events,
but you're NOT
gonna find it.
Eddie :
Says YOU!
Kevin Spacey :
You Want to Believe that
if You Do or Don't Do
certain things now
certain other things
Will or Won't Happen
down the road accordingly.
You want to parlay this
finely tuned circuitry
You've got for a brain
into some form of
major participation with
the divine conglomerate,
but all You're REALLY
gonna do, is drive yourself
and everyone around you
fucking nuts!
Eddie :
I'm trying to level out, all right?
I got to cool out, but not tonight.
Not tonight!
I got a history lecture
in progress, man.
The loads are humming.
I'm picking up everything.
I got the radar screens in full rotation.
I'm picking up the
coast-to-coast flights, and
Phil is sending me messages.
He's got some complaints,
you know?
About The Great Beyond.
I got to cut the levels of distortion.
I got to modulate the volume!
Kevin Spacey :
To whatever extent this
fuckin' torment of yours
is over what's-her-name, Darlene...
Believe Me, she's not worth it.
Eddie :
That move you made when
you gave her up for her
own good... ohh...
that was genius.
Whatever little prayer
I had was gone.
She had you down as some form
of totally unique altruistic
phenomenon instead of
the fact that you had
a low opinion of her
and all you really wanted
was to fuck that little bubble-brain Artie brought by for us.
Kevin Spacey :
Yeah. So what?
Eddie :
So you're no better off than me.
Kevin Spacey :
Just slightly.
Eddie :
You have no feelings at all!
Kevin Spacey :
No, Eddie. You know what?
I just don't have
YOUR Feelings.
That's all. I have my own.
And you know what?
They get me by.
Eddie :
So what kind of Friendship is this?
Kevin Spacey :
Adequate.
Good night.
Eddie :
Something Terrible's
going on, Mickey.
These are Dark Times.
Kevin Spacey :
You know, people have
been saying that since
The Beginning of Time.
Eddie :
You know, forget about it.
That doesn't mean
“Forget about it”.
Kevin Spacey :
Anyway, it's not Time that's Dark.
It's just YOU, you know?
It's just You!
Fuck you.
Kevin Spacey :
Why don't you wait up for Phil,
why don't you, Eddie?
Wouldn't that be great if Phil
came by to keep you company?
Wouldn't that be great?
I'm sure he will...
Eddie :
Fuck.
THE NEWS :

The Angel :

You mad?
See... see my... my bag.
I got a little bit
of everywhere I've been.
See, here's Vermont,
which is a New England state.
And... and there's Florida.
So you can see I hitchhiked...
up and down the
entire East coast.
Eddie :
I thought you took a plane.
The Angel :
Airplane?
Where would I get The Money?
How you been?
Eddie :
I'm a wreck.
The Angel :
You look a wreck, actually, but...
I didn't wanna be impolite
and mention it.
Eddie :
I don't know what I'm doing.
You know what I mean?
The Angel :
You're in The Pool.
Eddie :
Right. I don't know...
when was the last time
I Thought of You...
and in You Walk.
I don't get it.
The Angel :
I'm a surprise is all.
And I don't know what pertains
to me... and what doesn't.
The Angel :
Everything pertains
to You, Eddie.
Sure, I mean, This is all
part of The Flow.
You know, of which
We are a part, too...
and everything pertains
to everything...
one way or another.
See what I mean?
Eddie :
So... How am I supposed
to feel about it?
See, that's what I don't know.
The Angel :
Oh, you have total...
utter, complete Freedom
on that score, Eddie...
because it doesn't make
a bit of difference.
What I Feel doesn't matter?
This Flow Don't Care?
The Angel :
I Don't Think so.
Eddie :
I have so much to figure out.

Eddie :

to feel about that?
I don't know.
The Angel :
See, that's my point.
That's what I'm saying.
So I do know Your Point.
Eddie :
But do they pertain to me?
The Angel :
I was saying to you that they all pertain to You….
As much as they're
a part of Everything, right?
I mean... that's all I'm saying.
Eddie :
Did you know that Phil was dead?
The Angel :
Whoa. What Happened?
Eddie :
He drove his car off Mulholland.
The Angel :
What Happened?
Eddie :
The car crashed.
The funeral was today.
The Angel :
So that's why you're
such a wreck, Eddie.
You were at the funeral.
That would wreck anybody.
Was it sad?
Eddie :
Everybody's in the suits.
You do the things.
Everybody's there.
Everybody's in line.
All the cars... in a line.
Everybody's in the cars.
You get to the... cemetery...
and... the priest has got
some more to say.
And there's The Hole.
You put him in.
The Angel :
Was it sad?
Eddie :
There was, at the grave...
we were like a...
a bunch of dogs.
And this guy... was singing
with this beautiful voice.
He had this beautiful
high voice.
All alone. No organ or anything.
Just His Voice.
And... the priest could
have said anything.
Nice things, sad things,
nothing.
And this guy, nobody knew
who he was...
would sing...
And you couldn't even really
make out the words even.
You know? You just heard this...
this high... beautiful, sad, sad...
This human sound.
And then everybody just started
crying along with him.
The Angel :
You know something, Eddie?
I didn't really go to all
the places on my bag.
I actually went out of here North...
towards San Francisco, but...
I got no further than Oxnard.
Eddie :
I know where Oxnard is.
The Angel :
Great.
Eddie :
What's so great about me
knowing where Oxnard is?
The Angel :
It's great when people know
what each other
are talking about.
I mean, isn't that what
we've been talking about?
The Angel :
So, I'm gonna sleep here...
if you don't mind.
I mean, you got room?
Eddie :
I'm gonna be up for a while.
The Angel :
That's OK.
Eddie :
There's room here on the couch.
The Angel :
Great.
Eddie :
I...
I might never go to sleep again.
I might stay awake forever.
The Angel :
That's OK.
I'm just happy to get off
The Streets at the moment.
The Desperation out there
is paranormal.
You want to fuck me
or anything, Eddie...
before I go to sleep?
Great. Not that I don't want to,
I'm just...sleepy.
Eddie :
You want anything, a Valium?
Good night.
Pleasant dreams.
