The Goddess of 1967 (2000)

Your dinner is here.
Freshly delivered.
No preservatives.
Are you happy today?
Thank you for allowing me
to visit the little snakes.
l am so happy today.
Can l come again next week?
l am going away for a holiday.
Can you babysit my snakes?
He's coming. He is coming!
He's really coming!
The rich guy's coming.
With 35,000! Cash!
Didn't we say 40,000?
Yeah, but this is cash!
It's tax-free!
So?
When the man comes, you tell him:
"Bad luck, mate.
The price's gone up this week.
It's now 40,000."
Come on, baby!
We're gonna make some cash!
Here we go!
Daddy, Daddy!
Yeah! Come on, baby!
We got it!
-Hello.
-Yes?
-Is Mr. Hughes here, please?
-Who is it?
l came from Japan. Tokyo.
Mr. Hughes said,
"Meet me at the airport", but....
-Hi. Nice to meet....
-Come in.
Did you see the blood?
Sure. Sure.
And the brains on the ceiling?
Come here.
The police said he blew
her head off with a shotgun...
and then put it into his own head,
right between the eyes.
Would you like to join us?
-No. No, thanks.
-Hello.
l was in my room.
They had a fight about some money
they were gonna get from a Japanese.
I'm sorry.
-You sure you don't want to eat?
-No. No, thanks.
-Can l have a look? Please?
-The bodies?
No. The car, please.
Please switch on the light.
l cannot see.
Sorry, l don't know where it is.
Never have to use it.
Cool.
This is true beauty.
Please, do you have the key?
l want to look inside, you know?
Can l... get in?
Yeah.
-Do you want a test drive?
-Yeah. No, no.
l think it 's too risky,
you know, with a Goddess.
Thank you very much.
It's beautiful.
This is not driving.
This is flying.
You're only hitting 40, right?
Yeah, yeah!
What 's wrong?
I'm flying already.
You idiot!
l hate violence.
Yeah.
Sure, sure.
They weren't real bullets,
you know. Just blanks.
Greg insisted l should carry one.
You know, my cousin?
Mr. Hughes.
0h, yeah?
He loved guns.
l know.
A little higher. Lower.
No, no.
Left.
Yeah, yeah.
Right, right. Right, right.
-Greg didn't really own this car.
-Really?
Why?
Is it yours?
-You really wanna buy it?
-Yeah. Sure, sure.
Now, you remember what l told you?
Your mom and dad are dead now.
They'll never be with you anymore.
-Just like Jenny's....
-Rabbit, and Granny's cat. Right.
You're all alone.
You're all by yourself.
You must never trust anyone.
-Including...?
-You.
Good girl.
And what 's the number for help?
-Now...
listen. You go inside
and stay there...
and I'll call the police to come
and pick you up. Can you do that?
Yes, l can.
So you won't be with me anymore?
No.
-Like Mom and Dad?
-Yes.
Are you gonna die too?
Would you like to call the owner?
-He hasn't got a phone.
-Cool.
What 's the name of this place?
It's not on the map.
So how we get there?
-You mean Highway 56?
-Yeah.
Let 's look for Highway 13
and keep going west.
Shall we drive overnight?
l wanna buy it tomorrow...
and come back
here tomorrow night...
so l can take the
Goddess to the beach.
It's a five-day trip...
not including return.
Don't move!
What are you doing here?
l knew it! You're going to....
Don't move!
You're going to rob me and kill me,
dump my body somewhere! l knew it!
And you have killed Mr. Hughes?
You're a psychopath.
A serial killer!
Hey, you understand?
You are not blind!
You can see!
I'm just hungry, all right?!
lf you feel so insecure...
then keep it.
You're serious?
What 's your name?
Yoshiyashu Yanagiya.
What?
Yoshiyashu Yanagiya.
-And yours?
-Deirdre Svidrigailov.
Deirdre.
Tell me something about yourself.
l am a man. A Japanese man.
Can't imagine what
a Japanese man would look like.
l... l look like a human being.
Can l touch you?
You can see me, but l can't.
No!
No, please!
What are you doing?
l don't know.
You're an unhappy human being.
l like your face.
l like your smell.
It's very sweet.
l use Armani, you know?
What 's Tokyo like?
Can you describe it to me?
It's...
it 's just a mega-city.
Do you enjoy it?
I don't know.
What's it like living in Tokyo?
It's...
it's like...
living in Mars...
you know?
Mars.
-The lonely pIanet?
-No, no. The chocolate bar.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're just
getting warmed up, getting prepared.
I've got fighters from all parts
of Australia...
and we're here to entertain
each and every one of you.
My name is Fred Brophy, and l am
the fairest referee in Australia!
Give a roll on the bells and drums,
boys, let them know we're here.
Holler, holler! At the end of the
board, representing Callamalla...
you gotta be able fight to walk
into the local pub and have a drink.
l tell you, he can fight as good as
he can drink: the famous Kit Goanna!
Give a roll on the drums, he'll
drive you straight through the tent!
G'day.
This is a beauty.
You local?
Never seen anything
so pretty in my life.
This must be Japanese.
What is it?
Are you the show people?
Yeah.
Sorta.
I'm a boxer, you know?
Professional.
l got stitches all over my body.
Yesterday my nose got
punched, but... felt nothing.
It's all right.
Nothing's broken.
Yeah. l was lucky.
This guy, though,
he was big and tough.
Let 's go on a test drive?
We can do it now.
Yeah. I'd love to.
But not right now.
You know Fred, my uncle?
He's the boss, he runs this tour.
He might not like it.
Hi. It's me.
Drummerboy. The boxer.
-You know, the show people.
-0h, yeah. The professional.
Gee, it 's unbelievable!
-Do you mind taking me to my cousin?
-No worries.
He lives in the city.
-The city?
-We'll be able to make it in 5 days.
I'll pay for everything,
including your return.
lf you're scared to death,
drop me off at the railway station.
My great-grandfather started
the whole damn thing.
They said he was the greatest
boxer in the outback.
l don't know.
l grew up in the tent.
What 's boxing like?
It's...
it 's a sport.
0ne against one...
and you gotta wear gloves...
you know?
Padded gloves.
Big ones.
And if you knock
the other guy down, you win.
-You understand?
-l do.
So you gotta punch him,
you know? ln the face.
Come here. Up.
Gimme your hands.
I'll teach you how to fight. 0kay.
Hit me hard in the face, okay?
Go. Come on. Yeah.
Yeah, come on.
Harder! Harder, harder, harder!
Sorry.
You all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
No worries.
So, do you enjoy it?
Sometimes.
You see...
when you come into a town...
and you see all the excitement
on the kid's faces...
makes you feel good.
Real good.
I've never seen the city.
-No, please!
-Come on, you'll love it!
No!
Listen! Listen! Relax!
l love you.
You fucking bitch!
Stop it! l don't wanna hit you!
l love you!
What 's this?!
What 's this?!
What the fuck?!
What the fuck?
Where's the key?
Where is it?!
Shit!
Come back here!
l won't hurt you!
Back off, mate.
The most notable technical
innovation of the DS...
Is the hydropneumatic suspension,
or air-oll suspension.
In August, 1962,
140 bullets were fired at a DS...
with the President De Gaulle,
of France, traveling inside.
Two motorcycIe bodyguards
were killed, tires were burst...
but the DS was able
to continue on its way...
and escape from the scene
of this bloody assassination.
Hydropneumatic suspension ensured
the President was driven away safely.
That's why we say DS, the Goddess,
Is the car for the future.
Kelp, Jimmy.
...at Bosworth Hospital,
at Chitway Bay...
formerly of Penthurst.
-Smith,Kelly.
-What are you listening to?
...at Bayvlew.
Freeman, Mark Henry.
in hospital.
Is this rap? Local rap?
Sort of. They're the people
that died yesterday.
It's my favorite program.
Been wanting to hear a name for 3
years. It still isn't in the charts.
-Sorry. Sorry. Wait a second.
-What is it?
l come back soon, okay?
You stay home, understand?
A lizard.
-A beautiful lizard! l want it!
-Please, leave it alone!
It is biting me!
l know.
Don't force it.
It must be a bog eyes.
Is it poisonous? I'm going to die?
-No.
-Give me a knife!
Please! Hey!
Put it on the ground. Bog eyes never
let you go until they forgive you.
l am dying, you understand?!
How much longer do l have to wait?
A few minutes,
a few hours, a few days.
It depends on your attitude, really.
Yeah, sure, sure.
G'day, mate.
0pen your beautiful big mouth, mate.
l wanna give you a big kiss.
Understand? Understand?
l give my respect to him,
but he doesn't forgive me.
He loves you.
It's a love bite, mate.
Can l get you something?
No, you can't see!
l have a radar.
-You want some chips?
-No. No, thank you!
Do you know where
the nearest toilet?
Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure.
You want me to drive?
No.
Thanks a lot.
No service.
-Another bog eyes?
-l wanna make a phone call!
Please, don't block the antenna.
This is a satellite phone, you know?
Satellite? ln the sky?
-Hello?
-How are the snakes?
They're fine.
Good.
Where are you?
Did the police tell you to say that?
Is it true that you stole
lots of money through the computer?
Yes.
Mr. Cop, are you listening?
How many of you are there?
I'm calling to make sure
you didn't arrest the wrong person.
I'm fully responsible.
See you in heaven.
0r hell.
It's the same, right?
Say farewell to my snakes for me.
lf they're unhappy...
play to them Wagner's
"The Flying Dutchman".
Bye.
Can l use your phone?
l wanna make sure
Greg's little girl's all right.
Do you know why l buy this car?
The first time...
the first time
l saw her was in a movie.
You know? A French movie.
Do you know this movie?
Come on,
l know what a movie is like.
What 's a movie like?
It's people laughing and kissing
and fucking each other in the dark.
So after you saw this movie
you wanted to buy the car?
Yeah, yeah! l want. l wish l was
this hero driving the Goddess.
He is cool.
He's a killer. A hitman.
So what has this killer
got to do with you?
l think we look the same.
Understand?
What is the road ahead?
l want to plan where to stop.
We're on Highway 23 now.
-Turn left at 43, right at 161...
-Sorry. Sorry.
...left at 72, right at 43...
-Wait. Sorry.
Tonight we're gonna try
the oldest hotel in the outback.
Mom told me Granny
used to go there to dance.
-Mom?
-Yes, my mother.
She loved this car.
So did Granny.
So this is a family car!
Excuse me, do you know
of a woman called Esther?
A brunette.
Esther?
Yeah. She used to come here
to dance quite often.
-No one comes here to dance.
-That was back in 1969.
-'69?
-Yeah, '69.
-Luv, l was only eight.
-l know. She was my granny.
Does anyone here know
of a woman called Esther?
Sam.
Yeah. Esther.
There were three Esthers in '69.
She's tall, beautiful,
very attractive...
...and a very good dancer.
-They were all very nice.
Very attractive.
l screwed 'em all!
Can you get me some music?
-This is only record in the machine.
-Can you teach me how to dance?
0kay.
So, move your legs.
Follow the rhythm.
0ne, two, three, four....
Move your legs.
Move your legs together.
Your rhythm isn't... stop.
-Stop, it 's not like this.
-What 's wrong?
Sorry, l don't know
how... what....
No. It's not like this.
0kay.
Relax and smile, okay?
-Marie! Marie!
-Thanks. Careful!
What does the dust storm look like?
There's just a lot of dust
everywhere. You can't see much.
What can you see?
-Dust.
-Mommy....
You got it?
More! More! l want more!
Mommy, can you stay home tonight?
It's not gonna last that long. l
think it should be gone in a minute.
-Mommy....
-You know it 's not my night off.
Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed
To see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon
He touched me.
He took my nightie off.
l didn't like it.
Pick the meat.
Going to stay down there tonight?
Yes.
-Mommy, the Christmas carol.
-Finish your dinner first.
Dad, don't forget your laundry.
It's all been done.
Good night, honey.
Will you rinse the dishes for me?
Do you know how to sing this song?
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head
This... this is a chapel.
It's a place where you pray to God.
Do you understand?
Listen to me, honey.
Listen.
You're growing up now, okay?
Soon you're gonna
have a body like mine.
You're not a child anymore.
You are full of temptations.
You're full of sins.
You have germs in your body,
you have weeds in your head.
God created us,
but we always betray Him.
We sin.
So, what we're gonna do now is
we're gonna ask Him to forgive us.
Come on. 0n your knees.
That 's it.
-Almighty God....
-Where's He? Can l feel Him?
No, no. Come here.
Kneel down. He's everywhere.
You can only feel Him if you
listen with your heart. 0kay?
Now be a good girl.
-Almighty God...
-Almighty God....
...help us to open our hearts and
eyes so that we sinners may see....
l can't follow.
Help us to open
our hearts and eyes...
Help us to open
our hearts and eyes...
...so that we sinners may see
You reaching out to us...
...so that we....
-Sinners.
-What is...?
-Sinners.
-Sinners.
-...may see You reaching out....
Honey! You all right?
Are you all right?
Relax. It's okay.
It's okay, you just slipped.
You just slipped.
He wanted me to touch him.
He took my hands.
Ever since Adam blamed Eve
and Eve blamed the serpent...
we've been blaming
others for our sins.
It's not right.
Kneel down, honey.
Come on.
Dear Father, forgive us for leaving
You and straying off course.
Forgive us our sins and
summon us back to You.
l want to go!
You don't trust me?
You don't love your mommy?
You hurt me a lot, you know?
You break my heart.
Why do you do that?
-Gracious God...
-Gracious God...
...forgive us our sins as we
forgive those who sin against us.
...forgive us our sins as
we forgive those who sin....
Keep us from the sin of
hurting others by our words.
Honey?
Are you there?
It's time to go and pray now.
Come on.
Come on!
When was the last time you washed?
He hurt me. He ripped
me open! He crushed me!
Don't move!
You're so full of dirt,
your body's so filthy!
It's a big one. This is for you.
You've done it, haven't you?
You've done it again!
She enjoyed it.
As much as you did.
Don't get jealous.
She's already blind!
God's angry!
Don't you know that?
Who says l cannot
make love to my daughter?
Who says l cannot make
love to my granddaughter?
We're free to do anything here.
Don't listen to that filthy, ugly,
hypocritical world ever again.
l love you.
l love you all.
We're going...
somewhere else.
Right, Mommy?
Do you know where to buy
some Japanese noodles?
How much money
to build a house here?
Do you know?
Right here.
You have not called
the little girl.
Mr. Hughes' little girl.
Do you wanna call her now?
No.
Thanks.
What the fuck can l do if
l find out she's really in trouble?
Nothing. Nothing l could do to stop
Greg from killing himself, his wife.
Nor to bring them back to life.
l...
l...
l don't know...
what or how...
you know?
It's a long story.
-Understand?
-Don't tell me. l trust you.
You're a good man.
How do you know?
l may be a serial killer...
a rapist...
or a monster.
l know.
My radar's just been serviced.
Sure, sure.
Mine's an older model.
Too old for that.
Well, if you try,
you can do it too.
You can do a lot of things.
Now, listen.
Can you hear the sound of death?
Close your eyes.
No.
-l know the sound of a car crash.
-Close your eyes.
You can hear the sound of death
when the insects hit the windscreen.
Come on, you can do it.
Sorry.
l can't close my eyes.
Sorry.
In the very beginning,
there was the explosion...
a huge explosion.
It was like a great big fireball...
more than a million million
times hotter than the sun.
And that was 14 billion years ago.
And the debris, including
the Earth that we're sitting on...
is still traveling outward,
further and further apart.
Above us in the sky...
there's millions and millions
of that same debris...
twinkling in the dark universe.
l can feel it, Mommy!
Can l touch them?
The stars are very,
very, very far away.
Their light takes millions...
and millions of years to reach us.
So what you're feeling right now...
is actually millions
of years in the past.
The sound of the explosion
is still traveling through the sky.
Can you hear it?
Mommy, hold your breath.
Come back here, honey!
l love you!
l love him too!
We're all sinners!
0kay. 0kay, it 's time for bed.
l don't wanna go.
Take me back to the city.
0kay, okay.
Now don't talk.
Make love to me.
You have two hours to sleep.
Relax. Sleep well.
Stay with me.
Please.
Take off your clothes.
Please.
It's getting very hard.
Sorry.
l can't control it.
But l thought you
didn't want to do it.
Sure. l don't wanna do it.
Is it uncomfortable?
Don't worry.
It will get used to it.
I've never made love
to anyone before.
l wanna do it now so badly.
Maybe I'll make love to it
after you've fallen asleep.
Do you mind?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Davidson. Janet Davidson.
At hospital, Lake Pendington Bay.
Evans. Jason Evans.
In Melbourne.
Cadd. Adrian....
Jones.
Known as Bob.
Maybe... we go back to the city.
0kay?
You have something urgent to do?
Somewhere to go?
Do you trust me?
Listen...
you know, take the money
and let me have the Goddess.
We'll go to beach together,
understand?
I'll teach you how to swim.
Bye.
Hey, you know swimming?
Take her with you.
l guarantee, swimming is much
more fun than dancing! Please!
I'm a honest man, okay?
A Japanese man!
I'm going to find another Goddess,
understand?
What does Tokyo smell like?
Noodle.
-You miss noodle.
-No. It's not noodle.
Sorry. I can't remember.
What does Tokyo sound like?
Noodle.
This has to be the last one.
Five more and we'll break
our 1989 record.
0ne more, thanks!
0ne for me too!
lf l lined up all the noodles
I've eaten, it 'd reach the moon.
Together with mine,
it would make a round trip to Mars.
I've cracked it.
What?
The password.
-You lost. You pay the bill. Thanks.
-No, no. Not again.
Bastard!
l won't be fooled this time.
That will make you
a millionaire. Bye.
Bullshit! Why don't
you use it if it works?
It's yours.
Tip him, you billionaire!
-I'm sorry.
-It's okay.
I've no use for it.
I'm going to get married next month!
Thanks for the noodles.
Fuck you!
-You're late.
-Yeah, yeah.
It's evening.
Time to come home.
It's not l don't trust you.
It's just that...
l don't wanna see someone...
someone l care dead, gone...
leaving me alone, you know?
Alone in a world without noodles.
We found nothing except this.
Did it belong to your wife?
Yes.
We've found some blood
stains in the car. Not much.
Have a look.
l hope that Esther will contact
you or us in the next few days...
but we are expecting the worst.
You can see what l mean.
Is Momma okay?
She wasn't in the car?
No.
Police said when she disappeared
she was here alone at 7:30...
and left at 11:00 with
an unidentified male customer.
They said Esther used
to come here to dance.
She loves to dance.
Marie?
-Marie?
-Yeah?
Let 's dance.
Dance. Come on. Come on.
Come on, love. Come on.
That 's it, love.
You can do this, love.
Yes.
-Good morning!
-Good morning.
I'm trying to mix our own
Chateauneuf Du Pape.
The original Chateauneuf Du Pape
was blended from 13 different grapes.
0ne gave it color,
another was for perfume...
another finesse, warmth, spice....
Mine's a mixture of chemicals.
Can you tell the difference?
Dad, they're the same.
No, they're not.
Honey, your mom's dead.
How's that?
l...
...l can't tell the difference.
-Good.
Sooner or later, we can create
everything. Right here!
Dad?
l went fishing.
This is for you.
You don't have to finish it.
Shut up.
That 's beautiful.
How many stars
do you think are up there?
0ne, two, three, four....
0ne, two....
-Is there anything in the dark?
-No.
Yes.
God.
No.
They're just black holes.
A star's a huge fireball.
When it burns out of fuel...
it collapses, dies...
becomes a black hole.
Sooner or later, there won't be
any stars left in the sky.
Just black holes.
No. Dad, I'm scared.
That'll be the end.
Dad.
You want to cuddle?
Isn't this bed a bit
small for you now?
Do you want to come to my bed?
I'm too nervous.
I've lost my sense of direction.
Yeah.
You need a guide dog, not radar.
He's not here.
Shit.
Thanks for bringing me here.
You're welcome.
This is the end of our journey.
Thanks for everything.
You don't have to go, okay?
Understand?
l don't have any choice.
No, don't. Please.
lf I'm not back in an hour,
you can take the car.
Sign whatever you want
on the papers and go back to Tokyo.
Bye.
Good luck!
Don't shoot! It's me!
It's me, understand?
He's here.
Everything's okay. Look...
l always thought l should tell you.
It's a long story, you know?
My story.
A very, very long story.
Let 's go up to the car, okay?
We will find a very nice caf,
you know?
Cappuccino, cheesecake...
we'll sit under the sun.
A beautiful day.
Everything's fine now.
Don't worry. Let 's go.
Relax. Come on. Relax.
There's a voice inside my head,
and it 's yelling at me.
It says,
"Kill him! Kill the bastard!
Shoot him!
Kill this fucking bastard!"
It's been yelling at me for many,
many years, day and night!
"Kill the bastard,
chop him to pieces!"
l have to do it!
Will you marry me?
Marry me, understand?
Marry.
We go away together.
Let 's go.
Sure, sure.
You're right.
What the fuck can you do
to stop people killing people?
What the fuck can l do to stop you
from killing your fucking life?!
Nothing!
It's fucking nothing l can do!
l love you.
It means nothing.
What the fuck can l do?
Fuck!
Fuck! Fuck!
Fuck!
l know you are here.
You're back.
l wanna know why.
0h, shit.
Did l do something wrong?
Why?
What time is it now?
Is it a sunny day up?
Clear skies.
-He'll be looking for me now.
-Who?
He'll never find me.
It's time to prepare dinner.
Esther will be home soon.
-And Marie.
-Marie's dead!
Still a little girl, my Marie.
All my little girls are back.
We must celebrate.
Some dinner music.
I'll open a bottle of our wonderful
Chateauneuf Du Pape.
You'll love it.
What do you wanna do
with the Goddess?
l don't know.
Where are we going?
l don't know.
What do you think?
Stop me before l crash, okay?
Honestly, I'm as blind as you.
Distansia
