:58:02
Look at us! Sitting around,
slaves to some stupid scenario.
:58:06
Meanwhile, fat cats in Hollywood
are getting rich on our work.
:58:10
- Please, stop it.
- Studio heads, writers, movie stars.
:58:13
- Stop it.
- But we're the ones who sweat.
:58:16
- We're the characters on the screen.
- You're a Red.
:58:19
I say unite, brothers,
unite and take action.
:58:22
- Shut up and sit down!
- What action?
:58:24
- You're working my last nerve.
- Wait. Shut up.
:58:27
What if all this is merely semantics?
:58:29
- How can it be semantics?
- Well, let's just readjust our definitions.
:58:33
Let's redefine ourselves
as the real world...
:58:35
..and them as the world
of illusion and shadow.
:58:38
You see? We're reality, they're a dream.
:58:41
You'd better calm down. You've been
up on the screen flickering too long.
:58:48
- It's confirmed.
- I was afraid this might happen.
:58:50
Tom Baxter tried to leave the screen
in St Louis, Chicago, Denver and Detroit.
:58:55
- And he almost made it in Detroit.
- It looks bad.
:58:58
The movie houses in those towns
are in pandemonium.
:59:00
- There's no way to keep the lid on it.
- I see hundreds of lawsuits.
:59:04
- Let's pull the picture outta release.
- In those towns?
:59:06
No, everywhere. Something's
obviously gone very wrong here.
:59:10
The best course of action
is to shut down, take your losses,...
:59:13
..and get outta this mess
before it really gets out of hand.
:59:16
Can you imagine hundreds
of Baxters flying around wild?
:59:19
Right. And you responsible
for every one of them?
:59:22
The best thing to do is to quit
while there's only one out there.
:59:25
- What do we do about him?
- We get him back in the picture.
:59:28
Then we turn off the projector
and burn the prints.
:59:31
- And the negative.
- Shame. It was such a good picture.
:59:35
- I missed you. You're late.
- I'm sorry. I came as quickly as I could.
:59:40
- I love you.
- Oh, thank you.
:59:43
Tom... My feelings are so jumbled.
:59:46
I know. You're married and you're
old-fashioned and I'm a whole new idea.
:59:50
But the truth is you're unhappily married.
:59:53
- I'm gonna take you away from all this.
-Yeah. I... I know you love me.
:59:56
Cecilia, I do love you.
Don't you share my feelings?
:59:59
Well, that's just it.
You're some kind of phantom.
