Silence is one of the great arts of conversation, as allowed by Cicero himself, who says, 'there is not only an art, but an eloquence in it.' A well bred woman may easily and effectually promote the most useful and elegant conversation without speaking a word. The modes of speech are scarcely more variable than the modes of silence.

Dream On Dreamer
16-04-2011
Dream on dreamer, starchild
Open your mind carefully
Dream on dreamer, ride home
Dreamshades changing endlessly
Enter worlds no one has seen
All at your command in your dreams
Sinking deeper, letting go
Let the story take you in
Dream on dreamer, fly home
Let the dream of dreams begin
Enter worlds no one has seen
All at your command in your dreams

Talking During Sex
15-04-2011
There's this whole talking-during-sex business, I mean, what are we doing here? The question is... does the talking really improve the sex? Or is the sex act now just there to spice up the conversation? Eventually, I'm sure people will get too lazy even for phone sex, they'll just start having phone machine sex. "Yeah, I want you really bad, just leave it on the tape." Then I guess, the phone company will come out with sex waiting. That'll be the new thing. "Yeah, hold on honey, I got another call.Oh, I baby, just one second. Honey, I've got to take this. Yeah, I've got sex waiting on the other line and I've got to take this."

True Gentleness
13-04-2011
"True gentleness is founded on a sense of what we owe to him who made us and to the common nature which we all share. It arises from reflection on our own failings and wants, and from just views of the condition and duty of man. It is native feeling heightened and improved by principle."
Hugh Blair

Lugar Nenhum

Acordo em lugar nenhum
Apanho a roupa do chão
Em solidão
Dá-me a tua mão
Ó sonho meu
Lá fora o sol encandeia
Aqui em lugar nenhum
Ficou no pó
Uma marca só
Doutro sonho meu
Eu nunca sei bem onde estou
Se estou sozinho
Às voltas em lugar nenhum
Eu já não sei ir pra casa
Há-de ser
Sempre assim
Belo princípio
Triste fim
Hoje já é amanhã
Amanhã foi ontem
Às voltas em lugar nenhum
Eu já só quero é ir pra casa
Eu já só quero é ir pra casa
Todas as histórias que eu sei
Acabam em lugar nenhum
Em solidão dá-me a tua mão

Give Me A Kiss
11-04-2011
Alvy Singer: Hey listen, gimme a kiss.
Annie Hall: Really?
Alvy Singer: Yeah, why not, because we're just gonna go home later, right, and then there's gonna be all that tension, we've never kissed before and I'll never know when to make the right move or anything. So we'll kiss now and get it over with, and then we'll go eat. We'll digest our food better.

Wake Up In Hell
09-04-2011
I can't go on
each second lasts forever
I stand motionless in sorrow
this must be the end
drown in waters black beneath me
I see nothing here but failure
though I still pretend
What am I suppose to do?
carry on or lose my will?
I've seen what hell is like
and you have put me here
this pain inside never ends for me
I cry myself to sleep
and when I wake I think
what am I living for?
Just when things are looking brighter
I get set back even further
back and forth, just try again
shame, the feeling that surrounds me
when I'm losing all control of
who I am and what I know
What am I suppose to do?
carry on or lose my will?
I've seen what hell is like
and you hve put me here
this pain inside never ends for me
I cry myself to sleep
and when I wake I think
what am I living for?
What am I suppose to do?

and you have put me here

Fire
08-04-2011
Something very scary and exciting about fire. People always run to see a fire. They're very proud if they have a fireplace. I think that's what smoking is really all about. That's the power of smoking. It's just this thing: I got fire here in my hand. Smoke and fire is literally coming right out of my mouth." And it's very intimidating to the nonsmoker because it's like talking to someone that's going "My head could open up. Lava could explode out, pour right down my face. Doesn't bother me a bit." And a cigar is even worse. I mean, a cigar is like: "you think this end is bad. Look at this wet, disgusting chewed up gum, huh?" How scary is that?

Don't Turn Away
06-04-2011
You say your dreams are burned to ashes
And your smiles have turned to tears,
It seems to me you welcome sanest
As you surrender to your fears
So what's a man like me supposed to do
When all I want is just to make love to you
Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night,
Before the night is gone
You say your heart is lost forever
And you're always gonna give your love in vain
So you paint yourself a lonely portrait
And hide your love away again
You turn away from what you feel inside,
You can't forget all your foolish pride
Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night is gone
So now I'm asking you this question
Am I gonna give you all my love in vain
Do you wanna drown in your own sorrow
Or are you gonna try to love again
Don't turn away from what you feel inside,
You should try to forget about all your foolish pride
Don't turn away, before the night is over
Don't turn away, before the night is gone
Don't turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night,
Before the night,
Before the night is gone
Don't turn away from me baby,
No, no, no, no.
Don't put me away,
Don't walk away from me darling
I need your love,
Oh baby,
I need your love to rescue me,
An' I'm coming for you, baby...

Couldn't save you from the start
Love you so it hurts my soul
Can you forgive me for trying again
Your silence makes me hold my breath
Time has passed you by
Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own
Here I am left in silence
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven
I watched the clouds drifting away
Still the sun can't warm my face
I know it was destined to go wrong
You were looking for the great escape
To chase your demons away
Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own
And here I am left in silence
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine

I've been so lost since you've gone
Why not me before you?
Why did fate deceive me?
Everything turned out so wrong

Skin O' My Teeth

I had wrists donning slits
Flowing constantly
My broken body in a wreck
Wrapped around a tree
A crosswalk hit and run
The finish line for me
People clutter in the gutter
Take a look and see
Chorus
No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin o' my teeth
My blood flows through the streets
Deluge from the wounds
Empty jars of sleeping pills
On the dresser of my room
My wet brain neighbor cranes
His neck to see
In time, the white lights a train
Bearing down on me
I won't feel the hurt
I'm not trash any longer
That which doesn't kill me
Only makes me stronger
I need a ride to the morgue
That's what 911 is for
So, tag my toe and don't forget
Ooh to close the drawer

Black Rain
28-03-2011
The black rain is falling
Contaminating the ground
The human race is dying
The dead are scattered around
What is the price of a bullet?
Another hole in the head
A flag draped over a coffin
Another soldier is dead
How many victims have fallen
How many more have to die
People dying in masses
Angel of death standing by
We've got our marching orders
Defenders of our home and our pride
We've crossed too many borders
Military suicide
War killing sons and daughters
Another failed attack
There is no turning back
Blood running down like water
You'll think you got away
Until the judgment day comes
Politicians confuse me
I watch the body count rise
Why are the children all marching
Into the desert to die?
The human psyche is twisted
The madness rising again
Another empire falling
I watch them dying in vain
We've got our marching orders
Defenders of our home and our pride
We've crossed too many borders
Military suicide
war sends our sons to slaughter
Another failed attack
There is no turning back
Blood running down like water
You'll think you got away
Until the judgment day comes
Are you ready?
Black rain, black rain
Black rain, black rain
War killing sons and daughters

Alvy Singer: [narrating] After that it got pretty late, and we both had to go, but it was great seeing Annie again. I... I realized what a terrific person she was, and... and how much fun it was just knowing her; and I... I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs.

The Quiet Room
22-03-2011
The California air
Your nightgown on the stairs
I remember every night
Scenes from home in the Quiet Room
How long have I been gone
Did winter kill the lawn
And all those polaroids you sent
Are on the wall in the Quiet Room
They've got this place
Where they've been keeping me
Where I can't hurt myself
I can't get my wrists to bleed
Just don't know why
Suicide appeals to me
The Quiet Room
Is sterilized and white
It's like a tomb
With just a moth stained naked night
Plastic forks and spoon
No laces in my shoes
They allknow what I tried to do
Outside the Quiet Room
This quiet place
It ain't so new to me
It's haunted atmosphere
Has heard so many scream
My home from home
My twilight zone
My strangest dream
My confidant
I have confessed my life
The Quiet Room
Knows more about me than my wife
They've got this place
Where they've been keeping me
Where I can't hurt myself
I just can't
I just can't get these damn wrists to bleed
A mattress on the floor
No handles on the door
I really need nothing here
I'm alone

Key Joke
18-03-2011
Alvy Singer: [addressing the camera] There's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions." Well, that's essentially how I feel about life - full of loneliness, and misery, and suffering, and unhappiness, and it's all over much too quickly. The... the other important joke, for me, is one that's usually attributed to Groucho Marx; but, I think it appears originally in Freud's "Wit and Its Relation to the Unconscious," and it goes like this - I'm paraphrasing - um, "I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member." That's the key joke of my adult life, in terms of my relationships with women.

Thanks but I'm broken
I guess
You must have misspoken
What a laugh
I've never been chosen by anyone
She was barely a teen
Hanging out in between
Just a part of the scene
With mercurial smile
And incurable style
She was only a dream
How's that
He didn't know a thing about
Making love to the kind of girl you read about
He said
I'm bound to be broken
My Daddy bet
That I'd amount to nothing
He won't let anybody show him anything
He was a troubled child
Had been down for a while
Always kept to himself
No she couldn't defend
He only wanted a friend
Now he's made something else
It's so sad no one saw it coming
The paper said that he hit the ground running
Oh yeah
I know I'm not broken
A little cracked
But still I'm not broken
I wanna laugh but I think that I'm choking on reality
When the
World is turning for you
Don't turn on me
Who are you here to repair
Well I don't know what you mean
You could never resist
Glorifying despair
Well now it's coming to you and I don't really care
Well I'm not
The kind to insist
You couldn't have missed
We must co exist
So please listen to me
There is no such thing as human debris
Oh yeah
I know I'm not broken
A little cracked
But dad I'm not so nothing
I wanna laugh

The Machine
15-03-2011
Ever called someone and were disappointed when they answer the phone? You wanted the machine. And you're always kinda throwning off. You go, "Oh, I... I didn't know you were there. I... I just wanted to leave a message saying, "Sorry I missed you"". So here what we have is two people who hate each other, don't really ever wanna talk, but the phone machine is like this relationship respirator, keeping this marginal brain-dead relationships alive and we all do it so when we come home you can see the little flashing red light. You go, "All right, messages". You see, people need that. It's very important for human beings to feel popular and well-liked amongst a large group of people we don't care for.

Haunting
13-03-2011
Sit down on that stool hear the cant of a fool
And a strange tale I’ll impart to ye
Of a time that I lived at the buff of a hill
’neath the burial chambers you see
One saturday night I got up on my bike
To go to a dance in the town
I set off at seven to be there at eleven
No thought of the rain coming down
As I pushed up the hill the rain started to spill
So for shelter I had to resort
Helter skelter I went as downhill I sped
To the trees at the old fairy fort
I pulled up my bike be a tree in the gripe
To find shelter out of the storm
The rain it came down and like stones beat the ground
But it was grand to be dry in that storm
I was dreaming away about better days
When a voice it says dirty ould night
I fell over me bike I got such a fright
When the ghostly voice bid me the night
I jumped up with a start gave the storm not a thought
As the hail beat a rhythm on me
And I stared at the tree that had spoken to me
Not a body was there I could see
The voice I had heard not another word said
As the hair on the head stood on me
And I said an our father as I peddled much faster
Away from that ghost haunted tree
For weeks and weeks after with nerves a disaster
Nowhere near that road would I go
And from dusk through the night I would shake with the fright
Of the tree that had haunted me so
Now whenever I go to a dance in the town
I make sure not to stop on the way
To be there for eleven I still leave at seven
But I go by a different way
The Pogues
Sit down on that stool hear the cant of a fool
And a strange tale I’ll impart to ye
Of a time that I lived at the buff of a hill
’neath the burial chambers you see
One saturday night I got up on my bike

Here I Go Again
10-03-2011
I don't know where I'm goin
but I sure know where I've been
hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again.
Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for.
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.
Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.
Just another heart in need of rescue
waiting on love's sweet charity
an' I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.
Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again,
here I go again, here I go.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time.
Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.

I don't know where I'm goin
but I sure know where I've been
hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday.
An' I've made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time
but here I go again, here I go again.
Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for.
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'cos I know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams.
Here I go again on my own
goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.

Bizarro World Negotiating
09-03-2011
[Jerry's Apartment]
Jerry brings his parents' cases from the bedroom. Helen is finishing packing.
MORTY: You shoulda told me it didn't work.
JERRY: I know, I know.
HELEN: You didn't have to throw it out.
JERRY: I was always late. It was frustrating me. I'm sorry, I really am.
The buzzer sounds.
HELEN: Oh, that must be Leo.
JERRY: I woulda taken you to the airport.
HELEN: He has nothing to do.
JERRY: Neither do I. (to intercom) Yeah?
GEORGE (O.S.): It's George.
JERRY: Come on up. (to parents) It's George.
MORTY: Oh, it's George.
HELEN: What ever happened with NBC and the deal?
JERRY: Ah, George turned it down.
HELEN: He turned it down?
JERRY: Yeah.
HELEN: Why did he do that?
JERRY: Because of Ted Danson.
HELEN: What does Ted Danson have to do with it?
MORTY: Maybe he doesn't like Ted Danson.
JERRY: (fetching a drink from the fridge) Hey, who knows, maybe we'll wind up getting more money.
George enters.
GEORGE: (to Jerry) Hey.
MORTY: Hey, Georgie-boy, how are ya?
GEORGE: Hey, Mr Seinfeld. (shakes Morty's hand) Hey, Mrs Seinfeld. How are you?
He approaches Helen for a greeting.
HELEN: What's the matter with you?
GEORGE: What'd I do?
JERRY: What about NBC? Did you hear anything?
GEORGE: Yeah, as a matter of fact, I did.
Jerry looks expectantly, but George makes him wait.
GEORGE: We got a deal.
There is an outpouring of jubilation and congratulations aimed at George.
MORTY/HELEN/JERRY: (simultaneous) Hey!/That's wonderful!/We got a deal!
JERRY: Heyy! Terrific.
MORTY: You see, he had the right idea. Hold out. That's how you get the big money, huh George? (slaps George on the shoulder)
GEORGE: Uh, please, Morty.
MORTY: No, no, no. He knows how to talk to these people. No-one's gonna take advantage of Georgie. (slaps George's shoulder again)
GEORGE: I'm just happy to be working with your talented son...
JERRY: Aww...
GEORGE: ...Who's not doing this for the money.
JERRY: ...C'mon.
GEORGE: You have no idea how refreshing that is.
JERRY: So what'd we get?
GEORGE: (big smile) Eight thousand dollars.
JERRY: Beautiful!
GEORGE: (quietly) That's uh, for the two of us.
HELEN: Four thousand apiece?
JERRY: Lemme see if I understand this. In other words, you held out for... less money.
GEORGE: I was wrong, you were right.
JERRY: You know, the basic idea of negotiation, as I understand it, is to get your price to go... up.
GEORGE: You're smart, I'm dumb.
JERRY: You know, this is how they negotiate in the bizarro world.

Os filha da puta vivem arrumando desculpa
E motivos pra te pegar te usar e depois te desprezar
Te tomam tudo, a vida, a grana e a alma
E ainda querem que você tenha calma
Por isso eu vou falar
(Pode falar)
Vou contar
(Pode contar)
Sobre os filha da puta que só querem te roubar
Fundam uma igreja ora veja onde já se viu
Enriquecer com a fé alheia
(Puta-que-pariu)
E é inútil tentarmos abrir os olhos do povo
Pois se um abre os olhos mil olhos fecham de novo
E eles dizem que você está com o demônio
Mas o demônio habita no seu patrimônio
E eles farão o favor de tomar toda sua grana
Porque a grana pra eles é uma coisa profana
Só que aí o demônio vai parar com quem?
No bolso do pastor, e do bispo tamém
Filha da puta, filha da puta, filha da puta
Filha da puta, filha da puta, filha da puta
Filha da puta, escuta o que eu vou te dizer
Você está no poder agora mas um dia vai se fuder
Você está numa boa rindo a toa cheio de graça
Mas todos nós ainda vamos ver a sua desgraça
Você se esconde em Brasília essa ilha cercada de filha da puta
De político fajuto me escuta seu puto
Aprovando leis só para vocês e sua cambada
Arranjando obras superfaturadas
Eles te exploram te chupam o sangue
Só pensam no lucro da sua gangue
Então escuta, pensa e responda a pergunta
Todo político é um filha da puta?
Filha da puta, filha da puta, filha da puta
Filha da puta, filha da puta, filha da puta
E tem outra espécie
De filha da puta que me emputece
É o pai desnaturado machão frustrado que se esquece
De que o tempo das cavernas já passou
E bate na família quando não devia nem bater com uma flor
Na mulher nas crianças mostrando toda a autoridade
De um homem primata no seu machismo covarde
Quando você vê na rua uma mulher com o olho roxo
Tenha certeza que ela é a mulher de um frouxo
Um Zé Ruela que com ela é agressivo, sem diálogo
Trata como égua porque é um cavalo
O autoritário da família, não tem autoridade além da força bruta
Bate no filho e na filha porque é um filha da puta

And I'll wait here a while

That you didn't make a wrong turn
And I'll wait long enough
Maybe an hour or two
Before I decide it wasn't me, it was you
It wasn't me it was you
And I would like you to know
Although it seems sad to say
This was only the worst hour of my day
The worst hour of my day
How long has it been on your mind?
Do you think about it when we laugh?
I think that it's a big mistake
Because I think that we could make it last
Even if it's just for a while
And I'll wait here for now
Just long enough to be sure
That you really want to go through with this
Because I don't really want to go through with this
Do you really want to go through with this?

Elmer Fudd Stting On A Juicer

Naomi is handing her card to Jerry.
JERRY: I can't believe I'm doing this. I never do stuff like this.
NAOMI: (joking) Really? I give out my number to just about every customer who comes in here.
JERRY: Oh. (chuckles) Really? You don't seem that desperate.
NAOMI: (playing it straight) Oh yeah. Actually, I'm a little disappointed. I kind of had my eye on uncle Leo.
JERRY: Uh huh. Well uh, I'll give you a call, and thanks for the fish. By the way, you know why fish are so thin?
NAOMI: Why?
JERRY: They eat fish.
Naomi starts to laugh at his joke. It is, of course, the laugh later described as 'Elmer Fudd sitting on a juicer'. It's loud and persistent. Jerry leaves, but then leans back around the corner with a look of disbelief on his face.

Naomi starts to laugh at his joke. It is, of course, the laugh later described as 'Elmer Fudd sitting on a juicer'. It's loud and persistent. Jerry leaves, but then leans back around the corner with a look of disbelief on his face.

Us Vs Them

"No matter what we do, we are always going to have Us versus Them moments. We can separate, yell or talk to each other and draw a truce. You won't agree with everybody. It doesn't mean the other person is an idiot."

Cauterized
23-02-2011
All shuffled in
Cattle to fucking kill
Your so called crime
Cells they must fill
Human now gone
All trapped in stone
Living is done
You die alone
Blood flows through the cracks
From walls of the damned
What's left of you now
Without fail it will fall
In this sense it is hell
Living trivialized
That's why live is cauterized
No one left to burn
Earth plundered from above
Man creates his own end
Life as you know it is done
No free thinking will
No expressive thought
That is what they want
Behind iron doors
Mind is ripped apart
Unjust crucifixion
Keeping all mouths shut
Must destroy unrest
Punishment so unjust
Ignorance is alive
In the cell where you thrive
Life is cauterized
Blood flows through the cracks
From walls of the damned
What's left of you now
Without fail it will fall

Architecturally Incorrect
22-02-2011
[Street Corner]
Kramer and Elaine stroll to the entrance of Dr Reston's building.
ELAINE: Now look, don't take too long.
KRAMER: (looking around) Look at this building. What is this?
ELAINE: I don't know. It's a building.
KRAMER: (indicating) The door's on a diagonal.
ELAINE: So what?
KRAMER: (looking around) It's architecturally incorrect.
ELAINE: (frustrated) Just go.
Kramer opens the door and begins to enter. Elaine waves him goodbye,
then wonders why she's doing that and gives up.

20-02-2011
Cold aeroplanes, slow boats, warm trains
Remind me of jack-a-lynn.
Lush hotels and pretty girls
Won't cheer the misty mood I'm in.
Silly, sad --- I've never had to write this before ---
Oh, jack-a-lynn.
Funny how long nights allow
Thoughts of jack-a-lynn.
When phantoms tread around my bed
To offer restless dreams they bring.
And it's just the time and place to find
A sad song to play
For jack-a-lynn.
Magpies that shriek, old boots that leak
Call me to jack-a-lynn.
Coal-black cats in policeman's hats
Nosing where the mice have been.
And the long miaow's beginning now
And I'm far, far from home ---
And jack-a-lynn.

Something Fast
17-02-2011
All the things
We never needed
I don't need them now
All the things we ever did
Were always confidential
And hidden from me anyhow
You can stand all night
At a red light anywhere in town
Hailing maries left and right
But none of them slow down
I've seen the best of men go past
I don't want to be the last
Gimme something fast
God knows everybody needs
A hand in their decision
Some of us are not so sure
I seen his own held out
For a ride on television
I think he's still in Baltimore
You can stand all night
At a red light anywhere in town
Hailing maries left and right
But none of them slow down
I seen the best of men go past
I don't want to be the last
Gimme something fast

How The Hell Am I Gonna Pay For This?
16-02-2011
[Restaurant]
Naomi, the hostess, stands by the Seinfeld's table.
NAOMI: Did you enjoy your poisson?
HELEN: It was... different.
NAOMI: (to Jerry) And how was yours?
JERRY: Ah, very good.
NAOMI: You should try our mousse. (a little flirtatious) It'll change your life expectancy.
JERRY: No thanks, just the check.
Naomi leaves.
HELEN: What's the matter with you?
JERRY: What?
HELEN: Why didn't you flirt with her?
JERRY: Come on.
HELEN: She was flirting with you. Why didn't you say something?
JERRY: What am I gonna say?
HELEN: You just sat there.
JERRY: Well, you made me uncomfortable.
HELEN: You're a comedian, couldn't you come up with something?
LEO: (to Morty) Where's the bathroom?
JERRY: In the back, on your right.
Leo gets up and leaves. The busboy brings the check to the table. As he puts it down, Morty takes hold of it. Jerry grabs it too. A tug of war
develops.
JERRY: Dad!
MORTY: Will you stop it Jerry. Let go.
HELEN: Jerry.
JERRY: Will you let me pay just once.
MORTY: You're out of your mind.
JERRY: How you gonna pay? You don't even have a wallet!
MORTY: Don't worry about it.
JERRY: What're you gonna do?
MORTY: What's the difference, we'll figure something out.
HELEN: (to Jerry) You're not paying.
Jerry releases his grip, allowing a triumphant Morty to take the check.
JERRY: Alright, fine. You figure something out. I'd be very curious to know how you pick up a check with no money. 'Cause if this works, the whole
monetary system's obsolete, we're back to wampum. (standing) I'm going to the bathroom.
Jerry walks away. Morty reads the check, with Helen leaning to read it too.

Bring back that hair down
Unguarded mystery
I liked it better
When your tight-rope walked on me
Board up my window
Prepare for a hurricane
You have a way of breaking through my barricade
You give me all new games to play
You set my soul free
Now every word that she speaks to me
Is pure gold
She set my soul free
She give me love
Give me hope
Give me strength
To bear my faults for you
Wasn't my intention
To take control again
Somehow you got me on the ropes of my own plan to
Turn up the volume
And make you dance for me
Release some pressure
So that I can turn and see
The spirit manifest as "She"
You set my soul free
Now every word that she speaks to me
Is pure gold
She set my soul free
She give me love
Give me hope
Give me strength
To bear my faults for you
Like a flower
I can see but I can't feel, oh yeah
And nothing that you do
Could ever make me run
Run away from you
I never knew, I never knew she could
She set my soul free (She set my soul free)
Now every word that she speaks to me
Is pure gold
She set my soul free (She set my soul free)

KRAMER: Yeah, yeah, okay. I'm your boyfriend.
ELAINE: Okay.
KRAMER: Have we been intimate?
ELAINE: Yeah. Yeah, we've been intimate.
KRAMER: Alright, how often do we do it?
ELAINE: Kramer, how is that important? Honestly, do you really think he's gonna ask you that?
KRAMER: Elaine, he's a psychiatrist. They're interested in stuff like that.
ELAINE: Alright, alright. We do it, uh... (thinks) five times a week, okay?
KRAMER: (suggestive) Oooh, baby. (smiles)
ELAINE: Oh, man. Alright, listen. Just tell me something, what are you gonna say?
KRAMER: I know what I'm gonna say.

Elaine picks up the phone, while Kramer prepares himself.
ELAINE: (dialling) Alright, okay. You talk to him.

ELAINE: (mouths silently) Okay.
Kramer holds on. He begins to sing along with the hold music.
KRAMER: (singing) ...Johnny ...was a rebel. He rode through the land...
He waggles his eyebrows at Elaine, who gives a 'what the hell is he doing?' look.
KRAMER: ...Yu uh, yes, yes uh, uh, Doctor Reston. Uhm well, hello there. Ahh yeah, well, I'm a good friend of Elaine's...
ELAINE: (animated, but quietly) No, no. Not friends.
KRAMER: ...Well, actually uh, we're uh, we're not friends Uh, we're uh, we're much more than friends...
Elaine signals her approval, indicating that Kramer should keep going.
KRAMER: ...and uh, I'm afraid we have a bit of a problem. Well, the point is, doctor uh, I'm very much in love with Elaine...
Elaine smiles.
KRAMER: ...and uh, she's very much in love with me, and uh, well uh, we would uh, appreciate it if you would cease and desist, and allow us to pursue our courtship unfettered.

ELAINE: (mouths silently) That's perfect!
KRAMER: If not, I can assure you, doctor, that I can make things very unpleasant for you and your staff. If you have one.
Elaine looks even happier. She slaps Kramer on the arm to indicate he's doing so well.
KRAMER: Yes. Yeah, but the point that I... (listens)
Elaine's smile begins to look a bit stiff.
KRAMER: ...Ah, ye... (listens) Well, no... Uh, yeah, that's possible...
Elaine's face starts to look a bit sick.
KRAMER: (listens) ...Well, I suppose I could, (turns away from Elaine) but I'd have to shift a few things around, uhm... Hold on for a second, will you? Uh...

Elaine watches, looking increasingly confused and worried.

Sweet Child O' Mine

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go

When the desert sun has passed horizon's final light
and darkness takes it's place...
We will pause to take our rest.
Sharing songs of love,
tales of tragedy.
The souls of heaven
are stars at night.
They will guide us on our way,
until we meet again
another day.
When a poet sings the song and all are hypnotised,
enchanted by the sound...
We will mark the time as one,
tandem in the sun.
The rhythm of a hymn.
The souls of heaven
are stars at night.
They will guide us on our way,
until we meet again
another day.
When the dawn has come
sing the song,
all day long.
We will move as one,
bear the load
on the road.
The souls of heaven
turn to stars
every single night
all across the sky...
they shine.

[George's Car]
GEORGE: He said what?
SUSAN: "The hell with them."
GEORGE: "The hell with them?"
SUSAN: Those were his exact words.
GEORGE: (worried) Oh boy.
SUSAN: He said, "We've got five hundred shows to choose from. Why should we give two guys, who have no idea, and no experience, more money?"
GEORGE: (still worried) He was pretty emphatic?
SUSAN: Pounded on his desk.
GEORGE: Pounded?
SUSAN: (tossing her purse on the dash) I told you to take the offer.
GEORGE: (getting animated) Look I, I uh, I had nothing to do with this. It wasn't my decision. It was Jerry! Jerry told me no. I'm the creative
guy. He handles the business end.
SUSAN: You said it was insulting.
GEORGE: I was quoting him. Why would I be insulted? I'm never insulted. You could call me baldy, dump soup on my head. Nothing insults me.
SUSAN: Well, there's nothing I can do.
GEORGE: Well, don't they make a counter offer? How can they just cancel the whole deal like that? What kind of a maniac is this guy? I mean he
just, he says no, and that's it?
SUSAN: Yeah, that's the way Russell is. He doesn't like to play games.
GEORGE: Well, he has to play! He can't just not play. We're playing! Look, I gotta see him, how do I get in touch with him?
SUSAN: You'll have to wait til Monday.
GEORGE: Mon...? No, no, I can't wait til Monday, that's impossible, I gotta talk to him now. Where does he live?
SUSAN: (laugh) I can't give you his address.
George looks frustrated for a second, then notices Susan's purse on the dash. He grabs it, Susan grabs it and a struggle ensues.
SUSAN: Give it back!
GEORGE: Gimme the purse!

Half Day Closing

In the days, the golden days
When everybody knew what they wanted
It ain't here today
Through the times of lasting love
When parents talked of things tried and tested
It don't feel the same
Dreams and belief have gone
Time, life itself goes on
Far beyond the shrinking skies
Where money talks and leaves us hypnotised
It don't pave the way
Underneath the fading sun
The silent sum of a businessman
Has left us choking
Dreams and belief have gone
Time, life itself goes on
In the days, the golden days
When everybody know what they wanted
It ain't here today
Dreams and belief have gone
Time, life itself goes on

Death Shall Have No Dominion

Chris Kelvin - And death shall have no dominion. Dead men naked they shall be one with the man in the wind and the west moon. When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone they shall have stars at elbow and foot. Though they go mad they shall be sane. Though they sink through sea, they shall rise again. Though lovers be lost love shall not. And death shall have no dominion.

From Out Of Nowhere

Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm
You splash me with beauty and pull me down
You come from out of nowhere
My glance truns to a stare
Obsession rules me - I'm yours from the start
I know you see me - Our eyes interlock
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye...
Sifting to the bottom, every day for two
All energy funnels, all becomes you
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
One minute here and one minute there
And then you wave good-bye...

She's Okay
28-01-2011
Jerry, Helen and Morty Seinfeld and uncle Leo are having dinner.
MORTY: (to Leo) I don't understand this jeweller, Jimmy Sherman. (indicates Jerry) He brings in a watch, it takes over a week to fix. He fixed yours in one day.
JERRY: Oh, you know these jewellers, they're enigmas. They're mysteries, wrapped in a riddle.
Morty sits, brooding a little. A hostess, Naomi, passes the table. Helen watches her.
HELEN: (indicating to Jerry) She's very attractive.
JERRY: She's okay.
HELEN: Just okay?
JERRY: She's nice.
HELEN: She's better than nice.
JERRY: She's all right.
HELEN: She's beautiful.
JERRY: She's not beautiful.
HELEN: I think she's beautiful.
JERRY: So you ask her out.
HELEN: I'm not gonna ask her out.
JERRY: Why not?
HELEN: If you don't think she's beautiful, there's something wrong with you.
JERRY: She's pretty. She's not beautiful.
HELEN: I should drop dead if she's not beautiful.
JERRY: I think that's a little extreme.
LEO: (grudgingly) She's awright.
MORTY: (oblivious to the above) Two exact same watches. He tells you a week, and him a day. How could that be? Something's fishy about this.

Never Know
26-01-2011
I hear this old story before
Where the people keep killing for the metaphors
Don't leave much up to the imagination,
So I, wanna give this imagery back
But I know it just ain't so easy like that
So, I turn the page and read the story again
And again and again
It sure seems the same, with a diff. name
We're breaking and rebuilding
And we're growing
Always guessing
Never knowing
Shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments
We're Clever but we're clueless
We're just human
Amusing but confusing
Were trying but where is this all leading
Never Know
It all happened so much faster
Than you could say disaster
Wanna take a time lapse
And look at it backwards
From the last one
And maybe thats just the answer
That we're after
But after all
We're just a bubble in a boiling pot
Just one breath in a chain of thought
The moments just combusting
Feel certain but we'll never never know
Just seems the same
Give it a diff. name
We're beggin and we're needing
And we're trying and we're breathing
Never knowing
Shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments
We're Clever but we're clueless
We're just human
Amusing but confusing
Helping, we're building
And we're growing
Never Know
Knock knock on the door to door
Tell ya that the metaphor is better than yours
And you can either sink or swim
Things are looking pretty grim
If you don't believe in what this one feeding
Its got no feeling
So I read it again
And again and again
Just seems the same
Too many different names
Our hearts are strong our heads are weak
We'll always be competing never knowing
Never knowing
Shocking but we're nothing
We're just moments
We're Clever but we're clueless
We're just human
Amusing but confusing
But the truth is
All we got is questions
We'll Never Know

Jack Valentine: Since your so concern with the law, you must know that I am legally permitted to hold for 24 hours without charging you. You might ask why I would do that, and I can assure you its not because I enjoy you company because I don't. *No*. The *Reason* why I will delay you for *every sec* of the permissible 24 hours is I'm delaying your deadly trade and the deaths of *your* victims. I don't think of it as taking a day away from you but giving a day to them. Some innocent man, woman or child is going to have an extra day on this Earth because you're not *free*. So I will see you in 23 hours and 55 mins.

Going opposite ways
I`ll see you crawl
I`ll assist you fall
I just want you down
You won`t wear no more crown!

AK-47
19-01-2011
Yuri Orlov: Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars.

silver tought spoke all the lies a thousand times
new wrestle with a choice a thousand more you even
listening point out to the glistening sea i say
the sea it lies lies like every gust of wind
wind that whispers ever sight sights i can barely hide disgust
disgust of every shape shapes that set
loose my rage for this black sky only
one who'll fear this day are cowards
take my hand i'll show you the beauty of death
point out from the other side
i'll say the sea is full of life full o life
like every wind whispers every sight many sights
i should have seen in a different light
i wish i could see that bright sky one last time only ones
who'll fear this day are cowards
take my hand i'll show you the beauty
only ones who'll fear this day are cowards
take my hand i'll show you the beauty of death
i'll never know how hard you tried
you'll never know my sacrifice
these torn out wings cannot fly i'm sorry
if only you saw the light
the darkness took over every shred of caring i ever had
i'll never know how hard you tried
you'll never know my sacrifice
i'm sorry if only you saw the light these torn out wings cannot fly
Age Of Ruin
silver tought spoke all the lies a thousand times
new wrestle with a choice a thousand more you even
listening point out to the glistening sea i say
the sea it lies lies like every gust of wind
wind that whispers ever sight sights i can barely hide disgust
disgust of every shape shapes that set
loose my rage for this black sky only
one who'll fear this day are cowards
take my hand i'll show you the beauty of death
point out from the other side
i'll say the sea is full of life full o life
like every wind whispers every sight many sights
i should have seen in a different light
i wish i could see that bright sky one last time only ones
who'll fear this day are cowards
take my hand i'll show you the beauty
only ones who'll fear this day are cowards
take my hand i'll show you the beauty of death
i'll never know how hard you tried

GEORGE: Okay, by the way. Do you want a box of Cuban cigars? I smoked one last night. I got nauseous.
JERRY: No I don't want them.
[Kramer enters]
KRAMER: I'll take it. No, I'll take it. What is it?
GEORGE: Here you go.
KRAMER: A box of cigars?
GEORGE: Yep,
KRAMER: Oh, yeah?
GEORGE: The kind that Castro smokes. You can't buy them anywhere.
KRAMER: Castro eh? Pasto costillo homiga (nonsense Spanish)
[Buzzer]
JERRY: Yes?
Voice: Federal Express.
JERRY: Federal Express? Come on up. . . . Federal Express. I'm not expecting a package.
KRAMER: Wooo, you know what you just did? You let a burglar into the building.
JERRY: You think so?
KRAMER: Federal Express? Of course. It's the oldest trick in the book. You know it might not be a burglar it might be a murderer.
JERRY: So you want us to abolish all home package deliveries.
KRAMER: Yes. It's dangerous.
[Knock on the door - Kramer prepares for a fight]

KRAMER: I came back for you.
ELAINE: Oh, shut up (pushes Kramer)
JERRY: I missed you.
ELAINE: Really?
JERRY: Yeah, . . .
(lots of missing you talk)
KRAMER: I'm going to be right back. I'm going to get a match.
ELAINE: Who's suitcase is this?
JERRY: Oh, it's my parents. My father came up to see a back specialist.
ELAINE: Oh, golly, it's probably from sleeping on that sofa.
GEORGE: Boy, you look really great.
JERRY: Yeah.
ELAINE: You lie.
GEORGE: No, no you really look great.
ELAINE: Hu hu, ha.
JERRY: So tell us about the trip. How's Dr. Reston?
ELAINE: Oh, he's fine.
JERRY: Things are good?
ELAINE: Yeah, you know (scratches cheek)
JERRY: Uh oh.
ELAINE: What, Uh ih?
JERRY: Did you see that?
GEORGE: Yeah, I saw it.
ELAINE: What?
JERRY: It's a tell. You gotta tell.
ELAINE: What tell? What's a tell?
JERRY: When you ask someone about their relationship and they touch their face you know it's not going too well. Go ahead ask me how it's going with somebody.
ELAINE: Um, uh, who's it going with, uh, Alice?
JERRY: Good, going good (scratches chin) And the higher up on the face you go the worse the relationship is getting. You know it is like - pretty good - not bad - I gotta get out.
ELAINE: How high did I go?
GEORGE: You almost did the nose.
JERRY: What are you eating my peanut butter out of the jar with your disgusting index fingers? This is a sickening display.
GEORGE: I'm not eating bread now. I'm off bread.
JERRY: You're off bread. . . . So what happened is it over?
ELAINE: Well not quite.
JERRY: Why not?
ELAINE: He was my psychiatrist, you know. He knows all my patterns. In my relationships I always try to find some reason to leave, so as my doctor, he can't allow me to do this, so he's not letting me leave.
GEORGE: What do you mean - "Not letting you?"
ELAINE: He has this power over me, okay. He has this way of manipulating every little word I say. He's like a Svenjolly.
GEORGE: Svengali.
ELAINE: What did I say?
JERRY: Svenjolly.
ELAINE: Svenjolly? I did not say Svenjolly.
JERRY: George?
GEORGE: Svenjolly.
ELAINE: I don't see how I could have said Svenjolly.
JERRY: So maybe he's got like a cheerful mental hold on you.
[Kramer enters]
KRAMER: You know I can't find a match anywhere.
GEORGE: You know what you should do? You should tell this guy you're seeing somebody else. That's the easiest way to get out of these things.
ELAINE: No, it's not going to work with this guy.
GEORGE: Well, you just tell him an old boyfriend has come back into your life.
ELAINE: I don't think so.
JERRY: Nice try.
GEORGE: Took a shot.
KRAMER: This is a good cigar (hair is on fire) . . . WOOOOOOOOOOW . . . (runs to bathroom)

First they put away the dealers,
keep our kids safe and off the street.
Then they put away the prostitutes,
keep married men cloistered at home.
Then they shooed away the bums,
then they beat and bashed the queers,
turned away asylum-seekers,
fed us suspicions and fears.
We didn't raise our voice,
we didn't make a fuss.
It's funny there was no one left to notice
when they came for us.
Looks like witches are in season,
you better fly your flag and be aware
of anyone who might fit the description,
diversity is now our biggest fear.
Now with our conversations tapped
and our differences exposed,
how ya supposed to love your neighbor
with our minds and curtains closed?
We used to worry 'bout big brother,
now we got a big father and an even bigger mother.
And you still believe
this aristocracy gives a fuck about you.
They put the mock in democracy
and you swallowed every hook.
The sad truth is
you'd rather follow the school into the net
'cause swimming alone at sea
is not the kind of freedom that you actually want.
So go back to your crib and suck on a tit
go bask in the warmth of your diaper.
You're sitting in shit and piss
while sucking a giant pacifier,
a country of adult infants.
A legion of mental midgets,
a country of adult infants,
a country of adult infants.

Necessary Evil
13-01-2011
Yuri Orlov: The reason I'll be released is the same reason you think I'll be convicted. I *do* rub shoulders with some of the most vile, sadistic men calling themselves leaders today. But some of these men are the enemies of *your* enemies. And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss - the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year - sometimes it's embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can't be seen supplying. So. You call me evil, but unfortunately for you, I'm a necessary evil.

KRAMER: Crazy Joe Devola.
HELEN: Why?
KRAMER: Well, I was having this party and I didn't invite him and Jerry tipped him off.
HELEN: Why did you tell this crazy guy that Kramer didn't invite him to his party?
JERRY: I didn't know he wasn't invited
MORTY: Hey, these are very comfortable pants. You know what I paid for these Jerry?
HELEN: So why did you say anything?
JERRY: It was a mistake.
MORTY: They're good around the house and they're good for outside.
HELEN: Are you okay?

HELEN: So what's the matter with this Devola guy?

HELEN: Huh, Jerry, don't say that.

HELEN: No, it's not true. You're a wonderful, wonderful boy. Everybody likes you. It's impossible not to like you. Impossible. Morty?

JERRY: I didn't know he wasn't invited
MORTY: Hey, these are very comfortable pants. You know what I paid for these Jerry?
HELEN: So why did you say anything?
JERRY: It was a mistake.
MORTY: They're good around the house and they're good for outside.
HELEN: Are you okay?
KRAMER: Oh, yeah, yeah. I was a little off last week - but the doctor says it was just a slight concussion
HELEN: So what's the matter with this Devola guy?
JERRY: He's got like a chemical imbalance. He needs to be on medication.
KRAMER: Oh, yeah. He's after Jerry now.
JERRY: Kramer!!

JERRY: He's joking.
HELEN: He's after you?
JERRY: Nooo.
HELEN: Why is he after you?
JERRY: He's not after me.
HELEN: Morty, did you here this? Some crazy guy is after Jerry.
MORTY: I'll make a few phone calls.
JERRY: Who are you going to call?
MORTY: What are you worried about?
HELEN: I want to know what you did to this guy that he's after you.
JERRY: I didn't do anything.
HELEN: Well you must have done something.
JERRY: No, he just doesn't like me.
HELEN: Doesn't like you? How can anyone not like you?
JERRY: You know, it seems impossible.
HELEN: Doesn't like you? How can that be?
JERRY: Ma, I know this may be hard for you to understand but I am sure there are many people who do not like me.
HELEN: Huh, Jerry, don't say that.
JERRY: It's true.
HELEN: No, it's not true. You're a wonderful, wonderful boy. Everybody likes you. It's impossible not to like you. Impossible. Morty?
MORTY: Maybe some people don't like him. I could see that.
HELEN: Kramer?
KRAMER: Yeah, I like him. Hey Jerry, what time you got?
JERRY: Um, huh, I don't have my watch on. It's being fixed.
KRAMER: When you getting it back?

Can I Go Now
01-01-2011
Jack Valentine: Do you know why I do what I do? I mean, there are more prestigeous assignments. Keeping track of nuclear arsenels - you'd think that be more critical to world security. But it's not. No, nine out of ten war victims today are killed with assault rifles and small arms - like yours. Those nuclear weapons sit in their silos. Your AK-47, that's the real weapon of mass destruction.
Yuri Orlov: I don't want people dead, Agent Valentine. I don't put a gun to anybody's head and make them shoot. But shooting is better for business. But, I prefer people to fire my guns and miss. Just as long as they are firing. Can I go now?

Ashes To Flesh
30-12-2010
Blessed and cursed with the Phoenix’s gift
Death and birth arrive in one instant so swift
The ending of a former life
The beginning of feeling alive
Rotating shackles determine place and time
To create two endlings, one malign
The skin is burnt to cinder
New flesh is born unhindered
I am not One Solemn Entity
- Going through a myriad of conversions -
But a whole entirety
Unbound by the strings of time
So one man’s breath is another’s death
A premonition that’s been often said
Incarnating eternally
Choosing 1 identity
Sometimes awakening in a foreign land
Once one drowned in water, now one in sand
Believing what the eyes can see:
“A nation in atrophy”
