A Clockwork Orange (1971)

Season 1, Episode 1 — A Clockwork Orange (1971)

#1001
You've got to do something for me.

#1002
Here.

#1003
Here.

#1004
You see that?

#1005
You see that shoe?

#1006
I want you to lick it.

#1007
Go on!

#1008
Alex: And, o my brothers, would you believe...

#1009
Your faithful friend and long-suffering narrator...

#1010
Pushed out his red yabzick a mile and a half...

#1011
To lick the grahzny, vonny boots.

#1012
Man: And again!

#1013
Alex: The horrible killing sickness had whooshed up...

#1014
And turned the joy of battle...

#1015
Into a feeling I was going to snuff it.

#1016
Man: And again.

#1017
Nice and clean.

#1018
Thank you very much. That will do very well.

#1019
Man: Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

#1020
Thank you very much.

#1021
Thank you very much.

#1022
Alex: She came towards me...

#1023
With the light, like it was the light light of heavenly grace.

#1024
And the thing that flashed in me gulliver...

#1025
Was that I'd like to have her there on the floor...

#1026
With the old in-out. Real savage.

#1027
But quick as a shot came the sickness.

#1028
Like a detective who'd been watching around the corner...

#1029
And now followed to make his arrest.

#1030
Enough. Thank you very much.

#1031
Thank you, my dear.

#1032
Thank you very much.

#1033
Not feeling too bad now, are you?

#1034
No, sir. I feel really great, sir.

#1035
- Good. - Was it all right, sir?

#1036
- Did I do well? - Fine, my boy. Absolutely fine.

#1037
You see, ladies and gentlemen...

#1038
Our subject is impelled towards the good...

#1039
By paradoxically being impelled towards evil.

#1040
The intention to act violently...

#1041
Is accompanied by strong feelings of physical distress.

#1042
To counter these, the subject has to switch...

#1043
To a diametrically opposed attitude.

#1044
Any questions?

#1045
Chaplain: Choice.

#1046
The boy has no real choice, has he?

#1047
Self-interest.

#1048
The fear of physical pain...

#1049
Drove him to that grotesque act of self-abasement.

#1050
Its insincerity was clearly to be seen.

#1051
He ceases to be a wrongdoer.

#1052
He ceases also to be a creature capable of moral choice.

#1053
Minister: Padre, these are subtleties.

#1054
We're not concerned with motives, with the higher ethics.

#1055
We are concerned only with cutting down crime.

#1056
Minister: And with relieving the ghastly congestion in our prison.

#1057
He will be your true Christian...

#1058
Ready to turn the other cheek.

#1059
Ready to be crucified, rather than crucify.

#1060
Sick to the very heart at the thought even of killing a fly.

#1061
Reclamation.

#1062
Joy before the angels of god.

#1063
The point is that it works!

#1064
Alex: And the very next day, your friend and humble narrator...

#1065
Was a free man.

#1066
- Hi, hi, hi there, my pee and em. - Alex.

#1067
How are you, love? Nice to see you.

#1068
- Dad. - Lad. What a surprise.

#1069
- Good to see you. - Keeping fit?

#1070
How are you, then?

#1071
I'm fine, fine.

#1072
Keeping out of trouble, you know.

#1073
Well...

#1074
I'm back!

#1075
Yes. Good to see you.

#1076
Why didn't you let us know what was happening?

#1077
Sorry, em. I wanted it to be, like, a big surprise for you and pee.

#1078
It's a surprise, all right. A bit bewildering too.

#1079
We've only just read about it in morning papers.

#1080
Dad: You should have let us know, lad.

#1081
Not that we're not very pleased to see you again, and all...

#1082
Cured too, eh?

#1083
That's right. They did a great job on me.

#1084
I'm completely reformed.

#1085
Still the same old place, then?

#1086
Oh, aye, aye, aye.

#1087
Hey, dad?

#1088
There's a strange fellow sitting on the sofa...

#1089
Munchy-wunching iomticks of toast.

#1090
That's Joe.

#1091
He lives here now.

#1092
Thelodgeh

#1093
that's what he is.

#1094
He rents your room.

#1095
Alex: How do you do, Joe?

#1096
Find the room comfortable, do you?

#1097
No complaints?

#1098
I've heard about you.

#1099
I know what you've done.

#1100
Breaking the hearts of your poor, grieving parents.

#1101
So you're back, eh?

#1102
Back to make life a misery for your lovely parents once more?

#1103
Over my dead corpse, you will.

#1104
Because, you see, they've let me be more like a son to them...

#1105
Than like a lodger. Mother: Joe! Joe!

#1106
Don't go fighting here, boys.

#1107
Do put your hand over your mouth, please.

#1108
It's bloody revolting.

#1109
- Dad: Are you all right? - Shh. It's the treatment.

#1110
It's disgusting. Enough to put you off your food.

#1111
Leave him be, Joe. It's the treatment.

#1112
Do you think we ought to do something?

#1113
Would you like me to make you a nice cup of tea, son?

#1114
What have you done with all me own personal things?

#1115
Oh, well...

#1116
That was all...

#1117
Took away, son.

#1118
By the police.

#1119
New regulation, see...

#1120
About compensation for the victims.

#1121
What about basil?

#1122
Where's my snake?

#1123
Well...

#1124
He met with...

#1125
Like, an accident.

#1126
He passed away.

#1127
What's going to happen to me, then?

#1128
I mean...

#1129
That's my room he's in.

#1130
There's no denying that.

#1131
This is my home, also.

#1132
What suggestions have you, my pee and em, to make?

#1133
All this needs thinking about, son.

#1134
We can't very well just kick Joe out.

#1135
Not just like that, can we?

#1136
I mean...

#1137
Joe's here doing a job.

#1138
A contract it is. Two years.

#1139
We made, like, an arrangement. Didn't we, Joe?

#1140
You see, son...

#1141
Joe's paid next month's rent already...

#1142
So whatever we may do in the future, we can't just say...

#1143
To Joe to get out, now can we?

#1144
Joe: No, but it's much more than that.

#1145
I mean, I've got you two to think of...

#1146
Who've been like a father and mother to me.

#1147
It wouldn't be right for me to go off and leave you two...

#1148
To the tender mercies of this young monster...

#1149
Who's been like no real son at all.

#1150
Look, he's weeping now.

#1151
But that's all his craft and artfulness.

#1152
Let him go and find a room somewhere else.

#1153
Let him learn the errors of his way, and that a bad boy...

#1154
Doesn't deserve such a good mum and dad as he's had.

#1155
All right.

#1156
I know how things are now.

#1157
I've suffered and I've suffered...

#1158
And I've suffered.

#1159
And everybody wants me to go on suffering.

#1160
You've made others suffer.

#1161
It's only right that you should suffer proper.

#1162
I've been told everything you've done...

#1163
Sitting here at night around the table.

#1164
And pretty shocking it was to listen to.

#1165
It made me real sick, a lot of it did.

#1166
Now look what you've gone and done to your mother.

#1167
Come on. It's all right now.

#1168
Right.

#1169
I'm leaving now.

#1170
You won't ever viddy me no more.

#1171
I'll make me own way.

#1172
Thank you very much. Let it lie heavy on your consciences.

#1173
Dad: Now, don't take it like that, son.

#1174
All right.

#1175
Can you spare some cutter, me brother?

#1176
Can you spare some cutter, me brother?

#1177
Can you spare some cutter, me brother?

#1178
Thanks, brother.

#1179
Janie mack!

#1180
May the hokey fly!

#1181
Mother of god and all the blessed saints in heaven preserve us!

#1182
I never forget a face, be god!

#1183
I never forget any face.

#1184
Leave me alone, brother. I've never seen you before!

#1185
This is the poisonous young swine that near done me in.

#1186
Him and his friends.

#1187
They beat me and kicked me and punched me.

#1188
Stop him! Stop him!

#1189
They laughed at me blood and me moans, this murderous dog!

#1190
Alex: Then there was like a sea of dirty, smelly old men...

#1191
Trying to get at your humble narrator...

#1192
With their feeble rookers and horny old claws.

#1193
It was old age having a go at youth.

#1194
And I daren't do a single solitary thing, o my brothers.

#1195
It being better to be hit at like that...

#1196
Than want to sick and feel that horrible pain.

#1197
Officer: All right, all right! Stop it now.

#1198
Come on. Stop breaking the state's peace, you naughty boys!

#1199
Back away! Go away with you!

#1200
What's your trouble, sir?

#1201
Oh, no.

#1202
Well.

#1203
Well, well, well.

#1204
Well, well, well, well.

#1205
If it isn't little Alex.

#1206
Long time no viddy, droog.

#1207
How goes?

#1208
It's impossible.

#1209
I don't believe it.

#1210
Evidence of the old glazzies.

#1211
Nothing up our sleeves.

#1212
No magic, little Alex.

#1213
A job for two who are now ofjob age:

#1214
The police.

#1215
Dim: Come on, Alex.

#1216
Come for walking.

#1217
Alex: Come, come, come, my little droogies.

#1218
I just don't get this at all.

#1219
The old days are dead and gone.

#1220
For what I did in the past, I've been punished.

#1221
- I've been cured. - Dim: Cured, yeah. That was read out to us.

#1222
The inspector read it all out to us.

#1223
He said it was a very good way.

#1224
Alex: But what is all this?

#1225
It was them that went for me, brothers.

#1226
You're not on their side, and can't be.

#1227
You can't be, dim.

#1228
It was someone we fillied with back in the old days...

#1229
Trying to get his own revenge after all this time. Remember?

#1230
Dim: A long time is right.

#1231
I don't remember them days too horrorshow.

#1232
And don't call me dim no more, either.

#1233
"Officer," call me.

#1234
Georgie: Enough is remembered, though, little Alex.

#1235
Dim: And this is to make sure you stay cured.

#1236
Georgie: That's enough.

#1237
Dim: A bit more. He's still kicking.

#1238
Cured, are you?

#1239
Be viddying you some more sometime, droogie.

#1240
Alex: Where was I to go, who had no home and no money?

#1241
I cried for meself.

#1242
Home, home, home.

#1243
It was home I was wanting.

#1244
And it was home I came to, brothers...

#1245
Not realizing, in the state I was in...

#1246
Where I was, and had been before.

#1247
Who on earth could that be?

#1248
I'll see who it is.

#1249
Yes, what is it?

#1250
Alex: Please...

#1251
Frank, I think this young man needs some help.

#1252
Frank: My god!

#1253
What's happened to you, my boy?

#1254
Alex: And would you believe it, o my brothers and only friends...

#1255
There was your faithful narrator...

#1256
Being held helpless like a babe in arms...

#1257
And suddenly realizing where he was...

#1258
And why "home" on the gate had looked so familiar.

#1259
But / knew I was safe.

#1260
I knew he would not remember me.

#1261
For in those carefree days...

#1262
I and my so-called droogs...

#1263
Wore our maskies, which were like real horrorshow disguises.

#1264
Police.

#1265
Ghastly, horrible police.

#1266
They beat me up, sir.

#1267
The police beat me up.

#1268
I know you!

#1269
Isn't it your picture in the newspapers?

#1270
Didn't I see you on the video this morning?

#1271
Are you not the poor victim of this horrible new technique?

#1272
Alex: Yes, sir.

#1273
That's exactly who I am and what I am, sir. A victim.

#1274
Then, by god, you've been sent here by Providence!

#1275
Tortured in prison, then thrown out to be tortured by the police.

#1276
My heart goes out to you poor, poor boy. You're not the first to come here.

#1277
The police like to bring their victims to this village.

#1278
But it's providential that you...

#1279
Who are also another kind of victim, should come here.

#1280
But you're cold and shivering.

#1281
Julian...

#1282
Draw a bath for this young man.

#1283
Julian: Certainly, frank.

#1284
Alex: Thank you very much.

#1285
God bless you.

#1286
He can be the most potent weapon imaginable...

#1287
To ensure the government is not returned in the election.

#1288
The government's big boast, sir...

#1289
Is the way they have dealt with crime:

#1290
Recruiting young roughs into the police...

#1291
Proposing will-sapping techniques of conditioning.

#1292
We've seen it before in other countries.

#1293
The thin end of the wedge.

#1294
Before we know it, we'll have the full apparatus of totalitarianism.

#1295
This young boy is a living witness to these diabolical proposals.

#1296
The people, the common people, must know, must see.

#1297
There are traditions of Liberty to defend. The tradition of Liberty is all.

#1298
The common people will let it go, yes.

#1299
They'll sell Liberty for a quieter life.

#1300
That is why they must be led.

#1301
Driven, pushed.

#1302
Fine.

#1303
Thank you very much, sir.

#1304
He'll be here.

#1305
Alex: I'm singing in the rain

#1306
just singing in the rain

#1307
what a glorious feeling

#1308
I'm happy again

#1309
I'm laughing at clouds

#1310
so dark up above

#1311
the sun's in my heart

#1312
and I'm ready for love

#1313
Let the stormy clouds chase

#1314
everyone from the place

#1315
come on with the rain

#1316
I've a smile on my face

#1317
I I! Walk down the Lane

#1318
to a happy refrain

#1319
and I'm singing

#1320
in the rain

#1321
Alex: Good evening, sir.

#1322
Frank: Good evening.

#1323
It was very kind of you to leave this out for me.

#1324
There was no one around, so I started.

#1325
Hope that's all right, sir.

#1326
Of course.

#1327
Food all right?

#1328
Great, sir. Great.

#1329
Try the wine.

#1330
Thank you, sir.

#1331
Cheers.

#1332
Happy days.

#1333
- Won't you join me? - No. My health doesn't allow it.

#1334
Julian: No, thank you.

#1335
"1960, chéteau.

#1336
Saint-estephe. Médoc."

#1337
Very good brand.

#1338
Very good...

#1339
Color.

#1340
Smells nice too.

#1341
Very nice little number.

#1342
Well, here's to it.

#1343
Very refreshing, sir. Very refreshing.

#1344
I'm pleased you appreciate good wine.

#1345
Have another glass.

#1346
Thank you, sir.

#1347
Frank: My wife...

#1348
Used to do everything for me and leave me to my writing.

#1349
Your wife? Is she away?

#1350
No. She's dead!

#1351
I'm sorry to hear about that.

#1352
She was very badly raped, you see.

#1353
We were assaulted by vicious young hoodlums...

#1354
In this very room you're sitting in now.

#1355
I was left a helpless cripple, but for her the agony was too great.

#1356
The doctors said it was pneumonia...

#1357
Because it happened later, during a flu epidemic.

#1358
The doctors told me it was pneumonia, but I knew what it was.

#1359
A victim of the modern age. Poor, poor girl.

#1360
And now, you.

#1361
Another victim of the modern age.

#1362
But you can be helped.

#1363
I phoned some friends while you were having your bath.

#1364
- Some friends, sir? - Yes. They want to help you.

#1365
- Help me? - Help you.

#1366
- Who are they, sir? - Very, very important people.

#1367
And they're interested in you.

#1368
Frank: Julian.

#1369
This'll be these people now.

#1370
I don't want to trouble you any further. I should be leaving.

#1371
No, no, no, my boy. No trouble at all.

#1372
Here.

#1373
Let me fill your glass.

#1374
- Hello, frank. - Frank: Good evening sir.

#1375
Hello, frank.

#1376
So this is the young man?

#1377
- How do you do, sir? - Hello.

#1378
Missus. I'm very pleased to meet you.

#1379
I hope you forgive us for coming at this hour...

#1380
But we heard you were in trouble...

#1381
And so we came over to see if we could help.

#1382
Very kind of you, sir. Thank you very much.

#1383
I understand you had a rather...

#1384
Unfortunate...

#1385
Encounter...

#1386
With the police tonight.

#1387
Yes, I suppose you could call it that.

#1388
Dolin: How are you feeling now?

#1389
Much better, thank you.

#1390
Dolin: Feel like talking, answering a few questions?

#1391
Fine, sir. Fine.

#1392
As I said, we've heard about you.

#1393
We are interested in your case.

#1394
- We want to help you. - Thank you very much.

#1395
Shall we get down to it?

#1396
Alex: Fine. Fine, sir.

#1397
The newspapers mentioned...

#1398
That in addition to your being conditioned against...

#1399
Acts of sex and violence...

#1400
You've inadvertently been conditioned against music.

#1401
I think that was something that they didn't plan for.

#1402
You see, missus...

#1403
I'm very fond of music. Especially Beethoven.

#1404
Ludwig Van Beethoven.

#1405
- B-e... - It's all right. Thank you.

#1406
And it just so happened that while they were showing me...

#1407
A particularly bad film of, like, a concentration camp...

#1408
The background music was playing Beethoven.

#1409
So now you have the same reaction to music...

#1410
As you do to sex and violence?

#1411
No, missus. You see, it's not all music. It's just the "9th."

#1412
You mean Beethoven's "9th symphony"?

#1413
That's right. I can't listen to the "9th" anymore at all.

#1414
When I hear the "9th," I get, like...

#1415
This funny feeling.

#1416
And then all I can think about is, like, trying to snuff it.

#1417
- I beg your pardon? - Snuff it. Death, I mean.

#1418
I just want to die peacefully...

#1419
Like, with no pain.

#1420
Dolin: Do you feel that way now?

#1421
No, sir, not exactly.

#1422
I still feel...

#1423
Very miserable.

#1424
Very much down in spirits.

#1425
Do you still feel...

#1426
Suicidal?

#1427
Put it this way:

#1428
I feel very low in meself.

#1429
I can't see much in the future.

#1430
I feel that any second, something terrible is going to happen to me.

#1431
Dolin: Well done, frank.

#1432
Julian. Get the car, would you, please?

#1433
Alex: I woke up.

#1434
The pain and sickness all over me like an animal.

#1435
Then I realized what it was.

#1436
The music coming up from the floor...

#1437
Was our old friend, Ludwig Van...

#1438
And the dreaded "9th symphony."

#1439
Let me out!

#1440
Open the door!

#1441
Come on, open the door!

#1442
Ah! Turn it off!

#1443
Stop it!

#1444
Please! Turn it off!

#1445
Alex: Suddenly, I viddied what I had to do...

#1446
And what I had wanted to do.

#1447
And that was to do myself in.

#1448
To snuff it.

#1449
To blast off forever, out of this wicked, cruel world.

#1450
One moment of pain, perhaps...

#1451
And then sleep.

#1452
Forever and ever...

#1453
And ever.

#1454
Ah!

#1455
Alex: I jumped, o my brothers...

#1456
And I fell hard.

#1457
But I did not snuff it.

#1458
If I had snuffed it...

#1459
I would not be here to tell what I told have.

#1460
I came back to life after a long, black, black gap...

#1461
Of what might have been a million years.

#1462
Nurse: Oh.

#1463
He's recovered consciousness, doctor.

#1464
Hello, lad.

#1465
Hello, son.

#1466
How are you?

#1467
You feeling better?

#1468
Gives...

#1469
O my pee and em?

#1470
You think you are welcome?

#1471
There, there, mother. It's all right.

#1472
He doesn't mean it.

#1473
You were in the papers again, son.

#1474
They had done great wrong to you.

#1475
How the government...

#1476
Drove you to try...

#1477
And do yourself in.

#1478
And when you think about it, son...

#1479
Maybe it was our fault too...

#1480
In a way.

#1481
Your home's your home...

#1482
When all's said and done, son.

#1483
- Good morning. - Good morning, doctor.

#1484
- Good morning. - Good morning, missis.

#1485
- How are you feeling today? - Fine.

#1486
Good. May I?

#1487
- I'm Dr. Taylor. - Haven't seen you before.

#1488
I'm your psychiatrist.

#1489
Psychiatrist! Do I need one?

#1490
Just part of hospital routine.

#1491
Are we going to talk about me sex life?

#1492
Oh, no.

#1493
I'm going to show you some slides...

#1494
And you're going to tell me what you think about them.

#1495
Jolly good.

#1496
You know anything about dreams?

#1497
Something, yes.

#1498
- You know what they mean? - Perhaps.

#1499
You concerned about something?

#1500
No, not concerned, really...

#1501
But I've been having this nasty dream.

#1502
Very nasty.

#1503
It's like...

#1504
Well, when I was all smashed up, you know...

#1505
And half-awake and unconscious-like...

#1506
I kept having this dream.

#1507
All these doctors were playing around with me gulliver.

#1508
You know, like the inside of me brain.

#1509
I seem to have this dream over and over again.

#1510
Do you think it means anything?

#1511
Patients with injuries like yours often have dreams of this sort.

#1512
- It's all part of the recovery process. - Oh.

#1513
Now then, each of these slides needs a reply...

#1514
From one of the people in the picture.

#1515
You tell me what you think the person would say. All right?

#1516
Righty-right.

#1517
Taylor: "Isn't the plumage beautiful?"

#1518
- I just say what the other person would say? - Yes.

#1519
"Isn't the plumage beautiful?"

#1520
Don't think about it too long.

#1521
Say the first thing that pops into your mind.

#1522
Cabbages. Knickers.

#1523
It's not got a beak.

#1524
Taylor: Good.

#1525
Taylor: "The boy you always quarreled with is seriously ill."

#1526
My mind is a blank...

#1527
And I'll smash your face for you, yarblockos.

#1528
Taylor: Good.

#1529
Taylor: "What do you want?"

#1530
No time for the old in-out, love. I've just come to read the meter.

#1531
Taylor: "You sold me a crummy watch. I want my money back.

#1532
You know what you can do with that watch? Stick it up your ass!

#1533
Taylor: Good.

#1534
Taylor: "You can do whatever you like with these."

#1535
Eggiwegs.

#1536
I would like...

#1537
To smash them.

#1538
And pick them all up...

#1539
And throw... ow!

#1540
Fucking hell!

#1541
There. That's all there is to it.

#1542
Are you all right?

#1543
Hope so.

#1544
Is that the end, then? I was quite enjoying that.

#1545
Good. I'm glad.

#1546
- How many did I get right? - It's not that kind of a test.

#1547
But you seem well on the way to making a complete recovery.

#1548
When do I get out, then?

#1549
Taylor: I'm sure it won't be long now.

#1550
Alex: So I waited.

#1551
And, o my brothers...

#1552
I got a lot better...

#1553
Munching away at eggiwegs and iomticks of toast...

#1554
And lovely steakie-wakes.

#1555
And then one day...

#1556
They said I was going to have a very special visitor.

#1557
Doctor: Just wait outside for a moment, would you, officer.

#1558
Minister: I'm afraid my change of schedule has thrown you.

#1559
The patient's in the middle ofsuppeh

#1560
doctor: That's quite all right, minister. No trouble at all.

#1561
- Good evening, my boy. - Alex: Hi there, my little droogies.

#1562
How're you getting on, young man?

#1563
Great, sir. Just great.

#1564
Can I do anything more for you?

#1565
I don't think so, sir Leslie.

#1566
Then I leave you to it. Nurse.

#1567
You seem to have a whole ward to yourself, my boy.

#1568
Yes, sir.

#1569
And a very lonely place it is too...

#1570
When I wake up in the night with me pain.

#1571
Yes. Anyway, good to see you on the mend.

#1572
I kept in touch with the hospital, of course.

#1573
And now I've come down personally...

#1574
To see how you're getting along.

#1575
I've suffered the tortures of the damned.

#1576
Tortures of the damned.

#1577
Yes, I can appreciate that you've had an extremely...

#1578
Oh, look. Let me help you with that, shall I?

#1579
Thank you, sir. Thank you.

#1580
I can tell you that I, and the government of which I'm a member...

#1581
Are deeply sorry about this, my boy. Deeply sorry.

#1582
We tried to help you.

#1583
We followed recommendations that turned out to be wrong.

#1584
An inquiry will place the responsibility where it belongs.

#1585
We want you to regard us asffiends.

#1586
We put you right.

#1587
You're getting the best of treatment.

#1588
We never wished you harm.

#1589
But there are some who did, and do.

#1590
And I think you know who those are.

#1591
There are certain people who wanted to use you for political ends.

#1592
They would have been glad to have you dead...

#1593
For they thought they could then blame it on the government.

#1594
There is also a certain man...

#1595
A writer of subversive literature...

#1596
Who has been howling for your blood.

#1597
He's been mad with desire to stick a knife into you.

#1598
But you're safe from him now.

#1599
We put him away.

#1600
He found out that you had done wrong to him.

#1601
At least he believed you had done wrong.

#1602
He formed this idea in his head that you had been responsible...

#1603
For the death of someone near and dear to him.

#1604
He was a menace.

#1605
We put him away for his own protection.

#1606
And also for yours.

#1607
Where is he now?

#1608
We put him away where he can do you no harm.

#1609
You see, we are looking after your interests.

#1610
We are interested in you.

#1611
When you leave, you'll have no worries. We'll see to everything.

#1612
A good job on a good salary.

#1613
What job and how much?

#1614
You'll have an interesting job at a salary you regard as adequate.

#1615
Not only for the job you're going to do...

#1616
And in compensation for what you believe you have suffered...

#1617
But also because you are helping us.

#1618
Helping you?

#1619
We always help our friends, don't we?

#1620
It is no secret that this government...

#1621
Has lost a lot of popularity because of you, my boy.

#1622
There are some who think that at the next election we shall be out.

#1623
The press has chosen to take a very unfavorable view...

#1624
Of what we tried to do.

#1625
But public opinion has a way of changing.

#1626
And you, Alex...

#1627
If I may call you Alex...

#1628
Certainly, sir. What do they call you at home?

#1629
My name is Frederick.

#1630
As I was saying, Alex...

#1631
You can be instrumental in changing the public's verdict.

#1632
Do you understand, Alex?

#1633
Do I make myself clear?

#1634
As an unmuddied lake, Fred.

#1635
As clear as an azure sky of deepest summer.

#1636
- You can rely on me, Fred. - Good.

#1637
Good boy.

#1638
Oh, yes. I understand you're fond of music.

#1639
I have arranged a little surprise for you.

#1640
Surprise?

#1641
One that I hope that you will like...

#1642
38 a...

#1643
How shall we put it?

#1644
As a symbol of our new understanding.

#1645
An understanding between two friends.

#1646
Alex: I was cured, all right.
