[UPBEAT FRENCH SONG PLAYING.]
Does that work?
LENNY :
[LAUGHS.]
Nothing works.
DAVID :
So why?
LENNY :
Got to try something,
right? I'm-I'm Lenny.
DAVID :
She of The Great Escape.
LENNY :
Says every girl I ever banged.
[LENNY LAUGHS.]
Hey, speaking of
You got any pills?
Huh? Smoke?
[CHUCKLES.]
[SNIFFING.]
Glue?
DAVID :
(Deaf to Her Pleas —
Because She’s Not Real.)
Where is He?
LENNY :
Hey, how come
We never Talk?
Come on. It's Me.
Hey, y-you look good.
How's-how's the girlfriend?
Sydney, right? Syd?
Or the - the old bat and
the - and the black guy.
How's — Is he —
He's looking pretty fit.
DAVID :
(Ignores her —)
Farouk?
LENNY
[FRENCH SONG CONTINUES.]
Dude you got to help me.
I'm dying out here.
I'm - I'm like a pet.
Or a house plant.
I pulled out all
my hair before.
Yesterday.
But it all came back.
Maybe that was
A Dream, then…
Can you talk to him? Yeah?
El Rey? The King?
Just get me out of here.
DAVID :
Farouk?
LENNY :
[WHISPERS.]
Please.
Please.
Put me out of
my misery.
Please.
The Shadow King :
You found him.
Our monk.
DAVID:
In with The Sick.
There was a handprint
on the glass.
He's loose now inside Division 3,
but I can't — his mind.
The Shadow King :
The Monks of the Mi-Go Order.
Impenetrable.
Unless you know The Secret.
[SNIFFS.]
DAVID:
When I find him and he tells
you where Your Body is, what
are You gonna Do with it?
The Shadow King :
Live in it, my dear.
South of France.
Women.
Money.
Power.
DAVID :
And that's it? No super-villain-
Destroy-The-World bullshit?
The Shadow King :
[FAROUK CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
This word "villain" Do you know
where it comes from?
C'est francais.
It means, originally, "one who Lives
in A Village." A peasant.
Do I seem like
A Peasant to you?
DAVID :
You know What I Mean.
The Shadow King :
- No.
This is important.
Language.
The Meaning of things.
You called me A Villain.
Me, The King.
The King of Kings.
[SPEAKING PERSIAN.]
For decades I rule
over My Country.
I'm a good King.
Strong but just.
My People,
they prosper.
And then Your Father,
a white man, which is
you tell me, important?
He comes.
Does he speak our language?
Does he know our customs?
And he decides what?
That My People
should have better?
That he knows better?
Who is he to make
such choices?
DAVID :
[SETS GLASS DOWN.]
You fed off me when I was a baby.
And I'm supposed to feel,
what, sorry for you?
The Shadow King :
Is it such a terrible thing to
feel sorrow for Your Enemy?
What is he, except A Brother
with another name?
DAVID :
We're not brothers.
(In The Background, Lenny stands
on the end of The Diving Board,
Puts a Desert Eagle to her head
and tries to blow her brains out;
but He doesn’t let her —
Instead of A Bullet, comes
A stream of bubbles —)
[POPS.]
[WATER BURBLING.]
The Shadow King :
You are still young.
You think justice
is a glass jar.
You fill it with your
hurt, your hate.
Don't you think I have
my own jar?
I'm A Refugee.
Do you know The Meaning of
that word? Refugee.
Driven from My Home, in exile.
Prisoner in another man's body.
DAVID :
Nobody put you in My Head.
Or Oliver's.
You made A Choice.
The Shadow King :
[CHUCKLES.]
Of course.
If The Choice is
between Death or
Life — I choose Life.
DAVID :
Listen, I'll call you when
I have The Monk somewhere safe.
He takes us to Your Body,
and then You are gone. Gone.
No one ever hears
Your Name again….
( David moves to leave, but Farouk
isn’t done Talking, yet and refuses
to let David exit his mind — duly,
He puts David back behind
his poolside bar — )
The Shadow King :
— Interesting, don't you think?
You're Doing This for
A Woman You Love who Lives
in A Future you're going to
Destroy if you Help Me.
DAVID :
What do you mean?
The Shadow King
The Timeline.
She lives in A Future
You are trying to change,
and when You Do,
she will cease to exist.
So really you are helping
her to commit suicide.
Oh, and be careful
with The Monk.
He is very --
[SPEAKS GERMAN.]
Contagious.
See, this, uh --
[TEETH CHATTERING.]
Madness.
They think it's me, that
I'm infecting people.
But it's him.
He's Toxic.
He is like Typhoid Mary.
But where he goes, I follow.
So your friends think
that I am the Mary.
Not so smart,
Your Friends.
DAVID :
I got to —
[GASPING BREATHS.]
