1:35:01
- Let me stay please.
- No.
1:35:06
I don't want to sound rude but,
I'm afraid you'll have to leave now.
1:35:10
Here Don.
1:35:13
You're very sweet.
1:35:17
Goodbye.
1:35:21
Don't let me bend for nothing.
1:35:23
You need this, Don. Drink it. I want you to drink it.
I'll get you some more. I'll get you all you want.
1:35:27
What kind of talk is that?
1:35:29
It's just that I'd rather have you drunk than dead.
1:35:34
Who wants to be dead?
1:35:36
Stop lying to me.
1:35:41
Give it to me.
1:35:48
All right. Now go!
1:35:49
No fuss, please. No calling the neighbors.
It won't do any good, I promise you.
1:35:53
I won't. You've made up your mind.
1:35:55
But could you tell me why? Why?
1:35:57
Because it's best all around, for everybody.
For you, for Wick, for me.
1:36:00
- But that's not true. We love you, Wick and I.
- All right. Then for me.
1:36:03
Selfish again.
1:36:05
That's a sad final word, Don.
1:36:06
Look at it this way, Helen. This business is just a formality.
Don Birnam is dead already.
1:36:10
- He died over this weekend.
- Did he? What did he die of?
1:36:13
Of a lot of things.
1:36:14
Of alcohol, of moral anemia, of fear, of shame, of D.T.'s.
1:36:19
Oh, that Don Birnam. And now you want to kill the other one.
1:36:22
What other?
1:36:23
There were two Dons. You told me so yourself.
Don the drunk and Don the writer.
1:36:27
Let's not go back to a fancy figure of speech.
There's only one Don, he's through.
1:36:32
Don.
1:36:34
I'm all right, I have enough strength left...
1:36:36
I know you have. I can see it.
Don't waste it on pulling a trigger, Don.
1:36:40
No, let me get it over with or do you want me to give you
another one of my promises that I never keep?
1:36:44
I don't want you to give me your promise,
I don't want you to give your promise to anybody but Don Birnam.
1:36:48
It's too late. I wouldn't know how to start.
1:36:50
The only way to start is to stop.
There is no cure besides just stopping.
1:36:54
- Can't be done.
- Other people have stopped.
1:36:56
People with a purpose, with something to do.
1:36:58
You've got talent and ambition.
