00:00Come to bed.
00:03I'll be right there, love.
00:06Just putting the kitten in her basket.
00:10Leave the door open so she can get to the litter.
00:15Good night, you love all.
00:30It's tonight. Are you coming?
00:35Should be amusing if nothing else.
00:37I can't get out.
00:39All the wall openings are closed.
00:42Well, not all of them.
00:44Up there. The clear hole is partly open.
00:47You can get out through there.
01:00Take your tail, little one. We mustn't miss this.
01:08What is this?
01:28Good jump. You just have to work on the landing.
01:31Come on. The night won't wait.
01:38What will she be like?
01:40Who knows? Not this cat.
01:47Well met, fellow night threaders.
01:49Hello. We're going to see her.
01:52Me too. Although, I can't see much point to it.
01:56Then why are you here?
02:01Curiosity, perhaps?
02:05I want to hear what she has to say.
02:08So do we all, Charles.
02:10So do we all.
02:34Where is she?
02:38Come on.
02:51Sisters, brothers, good hunting.
02:55Some of you have traveled far to hear my message today.
02:59Left your warm, comfortable places.
03:01And I hope, when I have finished, you will all share my dream.
03:08I was not always as you see me today.
03:14Once, like many of you, I lived in their world.
03:19And, like you, I fooled myself.
03:24Oh, they fed me and gave me comfort.
03:26They served me.
03:28All they asked in return was my affection.
03:31No price at all, really.
03:57He was strong and fast.
04:01His claws and teeth were sharp as winter.
04:05He was my choice of lover.
04:08I never saw him again.
04:10But I did not forget him.
04:12I didn't remember my own mother, but I vowed I would be different.
04:18I would teach them how to wash, how to stalk silently, how to hunt.
04:23You knew she was in heat.
04:26Why didn't you keep her inside?
04:28I think they're kind of cute.
04:30Cute?
04:31She's a purebred registered blue point.
04:34These are half-breeds.
04:35And they're worth anything.
04:36What are you going to do with them?
04:48Don't worry.
04:49I'll take care of it.
04:51I'll take care of it.
05:21I've seen them from afar in the dark as the cold water took them.
05:27Felt them thrash and claw sightlessly.
05:32Felt them call to me in their fear.
05:34And then, they were gone.
05:44For God's sake, it's not as if she understands.
05:48I mean, look at her.
05:50She's probably relieved.
05:52Who'd want four screaming brats around?
05:56You're probably right.
05:57I just feel guilty.
06:01I knew then that I had lied to myself.
06:04That we were subordinate.
06:06While we lived with humanity, we could not call ourselves free.
06:11And so, I prayed.
06:13I prayed to the darkness, to the night.
06:16I prayed to the king of cats, he who walks amongst us, and we do not know him.
06:21Why have you come here, little cat?
06:45To the heart of the dreaming.
06:48There is nothing here for you.
06:51I have come for justice.
06:53For revelation.
06:54For wisdom.
06:56Justice is a delusion.
06:58And wisdom has no place here either.
07:01But revelation.
07:03That is the province of dream.
07:06If your heart is strong.
07:07And you are not afraid.
07:09I am afraid of nothing.
07:12In the mountain, there is a cave.
07:14You'll find him there.
07:16But the way is hard.
07:19A little cat could come to much harm.
07:22If she strays from the path.
07:25Cats walk their own paths.
07:27I walked through the wood of ghosts, where the dead and lost whispered to me.
07:45I heard my children calling me.
07:49But, I walked forward.
07:51I walked forward.
07:57I walked through the cold places, where every step was pain, every movement, torment.
08:05I walked through the wetness, that numbed my paws, drenched my fur.
08:12But still, I walked forward.
08:17I walked through the darkness, through the void, where everything was sucked from me.
08:23Everything that makes me what I am.
08:24And even when I no longer knew why, I walked forward.
08:32After a time, myself returned to me.
08:35And I found myself at the mountain.
08:38I have come to see the cat of dreams.
08:43Why should we let you in?
08:45Why should he be disturbed for one such as you?
08:51A small mouthful of fair and bone.
08:53Barely a cat.
08:54I've come too far to be turned away.
09:01I will state my business to the one I came to see, and only to him.
09:05I am a cat.
09:07I keep my own counsel.
09:08Enter then, proud cat.
09:14But be warned.
09:16Dreams have a price.
09:24And I walked on.
09:26I am here.
09:41I am here.
09:47And who are you?
09:48And who are you?
09:50A cat.
09:52A walker in the night places.
09:54A dead crow sent me here.
09:55A dead crow sent me here for revelation.
09:59I want to know.
10:01Why could they take my children from me?
10:03Why do we live as we do?
10:05I don't understand.
10:06I don't understand.
10:15I catch my look at a king, or so they say.
10:18Look into my eyes, that little sister.
10:21Look into my eyes.
10:22And in his eyes, I saw everything.
10:36I saw the truth.
10:37Our truth.
10:38And it transcended anything I had imagined.
10:43Many, many seasons ago, cats truly ruled this world.
10:49We were larger than everything made for us.
10:54Humans were tiny creatures, no larger than we are now.
10:59They would groom us, feed us.
11:02When the moon shone full, we would help them.
11:05For they were more delightful to catch than even birds.
11:12Oh, the joy of those days I saw in his eyes.
11:16The game of cat and man.
11:21And then, one of the humans rose amongst them.
11:27Inspired by a dream, he told them.
11:30Dreams shape the world.
11:32Dreams create the world anew.
11:34Dream, every night.
11:36Do not dream the world the way it is now.
11:39Dream of a new world.
11:41A world where we are no longer hunted.
11:43No longer prey.
11:45A world we rule.
11:47If enough of us dream it, it will happen.
11:51Dreams shape the world.
11:57Words spread amongst the humans.
11:59But for a while, nothing happened.
12:01But then, one night, enough of them dreamed.
12:08It wasn't many.
12:09A thousand, perhaps.
12:10No more.
12:11They dreamed.
12:12And the next day, things changed.
12:17We were prey to them.
12:19To dogs, their metal machines.
12:21We were tiny.
12:23And they were huge.
12:24So they changed the world?
12:27Made it like it is now?
12:29Not exactly.
12:30They dreamed the world, so it was always the way it is now.
12:34There was never a world where cats were in.
12:36They changed it.
12:38From beginning of all things to the end of time.
12:40It was ever thus.
12:43Do you understand now?
12:45Yes.
12:46Yes, I do.
12:47Then you know what your task must be.
12:50The burden you must bear.
12:52Are you strong enough?
12:54Yes.
12:55I...
12:55I hope so.
12:58Then wait, child.
13:00With my blessing.
13:02You see, I had seen the soft underbelly of what he had shown me.
13:17I left that night to spread the good news.
13:20And now I travel from place to place.
13:23I have preached to feral cats in empty places, shouting my message to the stars.
13:29I have whispered it to cats in alleyways.
13:34And wherever I have gone, my message is the same.
13:38Dream it.
13:40If enough of us dream, a bare thousand, we can dream a world where no cat suffers.
13:46Where no kittens die cold and alone.
13:49Where all cats are queens and kings of creation.
13:52That is my message.
13:54And I shall keep moving, repeating it until I die.
14:03Or until a thousand cats hear my words and believe them and dream.
14:11And we come again to paradise.
14:14And we come again to paradise.
14:24Mistress?
14:28I believe.
14:30Then there is hope, child.
14:32Well, she was amusing, at least.
14:48I'll say that for her.
14:50Do you think it will happen?
14:52Like she said?
14:53I'd like to see anyone.
14:55Prophet, God, or King.
14:57Persuade a thousand cats to do anything at the same time.
15:00The sun will rise soon.
15:05Let's get...
15:06The way she's twitching, she's probably hunting something.
15:09Oh, look at her.
15:11Isn't that cute?
15:13It is.
15:14It's really cute.
15:16For you as a writer,
15:18the character has to come first.
15:22Everything else follows.
15:23Every plot twist.
15:27Every line of dialogue.
15:31Every fraught, meaningful silence.
15:37Any questions?
15:40Yeah.
15:41Could you tell us a bit about your process?
15:44Do you have any advice for those of us who are just starting out
15:47and finding it difficult to not hate every single thing I write?
15:54I am sad to report that I've been doing this for a very long time
15:59and it doesn't get any easier.
16:05But try not to be discouraged when it is difficult.
16:09My debut novel was rejected by seven publishers
16:11before it became a bestseller.
16:13So.
16:18Right.
16:19That's it for today.
16:21Oh, don't forget the assignment.
16:23The same event told from two characters.
16:25Very different points of view.
16:35Did you get it?
16:36Took some doing.
16:38But...
16:40Yeah.
16:43It's, um...
16:47It's perfect.
16:51You're welcome.
16:52I think it's admirable
16:53how far a writer like you will go when it comes to research.
16:57Ah, well.
16:59It's handy to know a soon-to-be doctor.
17:02I actually wanted to be a writer,
17:04but my parents insisted I have something to fall back on.
17:07I still write when I have time, but...
17:11Your parents are very wise.
17:11You're better off.
17:17I promise.
17:21Uh, so, what do I owe you?
17:24Nothing.
17:25Stop, Nora.
17:26Honestly, it probably would have been incinerated anyway.
17:30Um, just don't tell anyone where you got it.
17:33I won't.
17:34I promise.
17:35And, um, if you wouldn't mind,
17:39would you sign this for me?
17:41Of course.
17:49Any idea when the new book is coming out?
17:54Uh, no.
17:55But you will definitely be in the acknowledgements.
17:59Is it a sequel?
18:02Or something new?
18:03That would be telling.
18:05That would be telling.
18:05Hmm.
18:07Oh, no.
18:07I see.
18:10I won't.
18:10Oh, no.
18:11I see.
18:11I see.
18:11I've been telling you.
18:12It's a sequel.
18:12Oh, no.
18:13Oh, no.
18:13Maybe.
18:14Oh, yeah.
18:14Oh, no.
18:15Who is it?
18:37Richard Maddox, to see Erasmus Fry.
18:40I'm in, stream down.
18:45Are you alone?
18:53It's just me. I've got it.
18:56Well then, come in, dear boy. Come in.
19:15How are you, Richard?
19:18You've written anything profound and stirring recently?
19:24You know I haven't, Mr. Fry.
19:27No.
19:29I haven't written a single word in a year.
19:32Nothing I haven't thrown away.
19:34Then I suggest you sit down, have a drink, and show me my present.
19:38Not necessarily in that order.
19:40Oh, well done, dear boy.
20:00Oh, a genuine Trikino Bezovah.
20:07Do you know about these?
20:09They're generally removed from the stomachs of young women,
20:13who are in the habit of ingesting their own hair.
20:17The Rapunzel syndrome, it's called.
20:21Bezovahs for once believed to possess mystic powers.
20:25They can remedy poison, make the sick well.
20:29Edward IV survived the effects of a poison wound,
20:32due solely to the possession of a basal.
20:37Yes, I see. I'm lecturing again.
20:41An old writer with no one to talk to grows fond of the sound of his own voice.
20:47But I suppose you'd like your present, now.
20:56I was 27, visiting Mount Helicon,
21:00researching yet another novel I was sure to abandon.
21:04This one steeped in Greek mythology,
21:06and while I was there, I discovered a trove of ancient texts
21:10about the muses and how to control them using moly,
21:17sorcerer's garlic, and certain lost rituals.
21:22The hardest part was getting her back to England.
21:26There she is.
21:52There she is.
21:52What would you with me now, Erasmus?
21:58Am I to perform for your amusement?
22:02Is this man to be our audience?
22:05This is Richard Maddock.
22:08He's a novelist,
22:10or at least he's written one extremely successful first novel,
22:13but now he finds himself quite unable to write anything else.
22:18Richard, this is Calliope,
22:20the youngest of the nine sisters.
22:22She was Homer's muse,
22:24so she ought to be good enough for you.
22:27Calliope, I'm giving you to Richard.
22:31You're his now.
22:34But you said that you would free me before you died.
22:37Put not your trust in princes, my dear,
22:40nor in an aging author
22:42who has never been what you might call a shining example
22:45when it came to keeping his word.
22:50But you promised.
22:52Writers are liars, my dear.
22:55Surely you've realized that by now.
23:01Oh, God.
23:02Don't worry, she can't run away.
23:06She's bound to you now,
23:08just as she was once bound to me.
23:10Then why keep her locked away?
23:12Because I couldn't bear to look at that
23:14pouty, aggrieved little face of hers all day.
23:18And neither will you, I assure you.
23:22I don't know if I can do this.
23:24Of course you can, dear boy.
23:38They say one ought to woo her kind.
23:43But I must say, I found force most efficacious.
23:52Now, don't be fooled.
23:54She's not human.
23:56She's thousands of years old.
23:58She was created for this.
23:59This is her purpose.
24:01To inspire men like us.
24:03After all, she gave me
24:05fame,
24:08glory, novels, poems,
24:10plays.
24:12You'll see.
24:14If that's true, why would you?
24:16My time is past.
24:19All my best work is out of print.
24:21Even muse-inspired.
24:25Nobody reads Erasmus Prye anymore.
24:29Now, take the little cow away, you shit.
24:31I never want to see either of you again.
24:33However, if you ever happen to feel a spark of gratitude,
24:42you might persuade your publisher to bring
24:44Here Comes a Candle back into print.
24:47I was particularly proud of that one.
24:51I was particularly proud of that one.
24:51I was really proud of that one.
24:54I was求 an investor.
24:55I was just proud of that one.
24:57But I was not really proud of that one.
24:58I'm like, wait just not a friend.
25:00I'm still a friend.
25:00I want to be proud of that one.
25:01I'm just proud of that one.
25:02I'm glad you all are out of the way.
25:03I'm not really proud of that one.
25:04I'm just a friend.
25:05I'm here.
25:35I just need time to think about what to do.
25:41What is there to think about?
25:45I'm a goddess.
25:47A daughter of Zeus.
25:50I am not a possession to be kept and used and traded.
25:58You must set me free.
26:01You have only to say the words.
26:03I will, I promise.
26:04Yes, but, um...
26:09Do you think you could help me first?
26:15Inspire me?
26:18Just for one book, and then I will let you go.
26:21I swear I will.
26:24Writers are liars.
26:26Not all of us.
26:31Just one book.
26:37Please.
26:38I choose with whom I share my gifts.
26:50Perhaps we both need time to think.
26:53I live.
26:57No.
27:00I didn't know.
27:03Okay.
27:03I wonder if...
27:05that guy's with him.
27:06What?
27:07Oh...
27:07Okay.
27:08I'm really good.
27:09I've got to get to see Singapore as I see you.
27:10We need to sit.
27:11Yes.
27:13So, if I said you and I'll see you alone.
27:14I'll be bloody close with that water when enjoy.
27:16It's very nice.
27:18Oh, I'm theothy.
27:18This is yours.
27:19Well, everything is really good.
27:19It's very nice.
28:50Clear.
28:53We can't articulate.
28:55We've had a lot of words.
28:57We couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was he did that we felt was so wrong.
29:01So yeah, Bob thinks you're crazy.
29:02You seek to woo me with presents?
29:18Is this not how it's done?
29:23I think you know how it is done.
29:29An artist prays to the muses.
29:34He offers vows of service and devotion to the goddesses in exchange for divine inspiration.
29:40An artist does not hold a muse against her will.
29:44You gave Erasmus Frye what he wanted.
29:47I did not.
29:49He took it from me.
29:51I had returned to Mount Helicon, to the sacred strings.
30:01I lay my scroll upon the shore, and I went bathing, as I had always done.
30:09He found it there.
30:12He read it.
30:15And said,
30:18Calliope, you may call me master.
30:21And then he burned my scroll, which bound me to him and now to you, unless you say the words, that I may be as free as you are.
30:32You think I'm free?
30:38I got the advance for this book two years ago.
30:41I haven't even started it yet.
30:42I don't even know what it's about.
30:48I'm drowning, Calliope.
30:56Please.
30:58I am begging you.
31:03Ask me again when I am free.
31:12You leave.
31:25I will see you again.
31:28Here's a number of voices.
31:30That evening today.
31:30You have to go to the room
31:31where they come.
31:33These systems have access.
31:33Where are they all y'all
31:35where they come from?
31:37The lock is here.
31:38The lock.
31:39I have to go to pick them up here.
31:41You better be fucking writing.
31:45I would be if you weren't calling to harass me.
31:48Your publishers just called to harass me.
31:51They want to book it now.
31:54I just need a couple of weeks.
31:56Ricky, it's nine months overdue.
32:00You're technically in breach.
32:01I don't know what they want me to do, Harry.
32:03These things take time.
32:04Ricky, you've had time.
32:06You've taken your time.
32:07You've also taken them only.
32:09I don't know what they want me to do.
32:11Hi.
32:12Now, you have to give them something.
32:15Anything, a chapter.
32:17Or they're going to cancel the deal and demand the advance back.
32:20But anything I can do.
32:23Because you'll no longer be my client.
32:27Do you understand?
32:31She's not human.
32:34She's thousands of years old.
32:37She was created for this.
32:39This is her purpose, to inspire men like us.
32:47Rick, say something so I know you understand.
32:51I understand.
32:55I'll send you something.
32:56I'll send you something.
33:09ospian.
33:09I don't know you for it.
33:13I will send you something.
33:15I will send you something.
33:17Come on.
33:18I'll send you something.
33:31I'll send you something.
33:32Gracious ladies,
33:58Mother Odekamen, hear my prayer
34:02It is I
34:04Your daughter
34:06Calliope that calls you to deliver me from this place
34:11Ladies of meditation
34:13Remembrance
34:16And song
34:17Harkin to me
34:20All right
34:21Enough beautiful voice
34:28We feel your pain, daughter, but we cannot help you
34:33You were snared upon Helicon according to the mysteries
34:36You are lawfully bound
34:38But it is not just my mothers
34:41Is there nothing you can do?
34:44No one who can intercede on my behalf?
34:47There are few of the old powers who were willing
34:49Or able to meddle in mortal affairs in these days, Calliope
34:52Many gods have died, my daughter
34:54Only the Endless never fade
34:56And even they have been having a difficult time of late
35:00Still
35:02Every little bit helps
35:06As the old woman said when she pissed him, see?
35:10The Endless
35:11There's a thought
35:12After all the Dream King and Calliope were close at one point
35:17Not for long
35:18And remember, Sister Self
35:20They did not part on the best of terms
35:22Still
35:23She did bear his cup
35:27That boy child who went to Hades for his lady love
35:30And died in Thrace
35:32Torn apart for his sacrilege
35:35He had a beautiful voice too
35:38Orpheus
35:40Dream King will never help me
35:42Not after what I did to him
35:46He hates me for that
35:47And I despise him
35:49I would not accept his help
35:52Foolish child
35:53Oniris is in no position to help you
35:57Even if you wished it
35:58Which is unlikely
36:00Like you, your former husband has been ensnared by mortals
36:03He is immured beneath the ground
36:06Leaving this realm gripped by sleeping sickness
36:09And a plague of dreams and nightmares wreaking havoc
36:12I am sorry, little one
36:15No
36:17Your prayers were wasted
36:20There's nothing we can do for you
36:22Please
36:23And nothing you can do but hope
36:26Please don't leave me
36:29I beg of you
36:39We've got a nice little bidding for our arms
36:42Every major studio wants a piece of it
36:45Film
36:46Broadcast
36:47Streaming
36:48Uh, who's the frontrunner?
36:51Whoever lets him write and direct
36:52They won't even let Joe Rowley
36:54Write and direct
36:55Joe Rowley needs a new agent
36:57So let her call me
36:58I never understand how a work of genre fiction came to be nominated
37:03Let alone shortlisted
37:05The committee felt not a new book
37:06This transcended genre
37:08Have you read it?
37:10No
37:10Of course not
37:11Well, I have
37:13In a reason I've written about an entirely different man
37:16It's a gorgeous book
37:18Quite remarkable
37:21I mean, the sheer richness of the material
37:24Yes
37:25Why is he going to change his name?
37:28How do you mean?
37:29From Richard to Rick
37:30About the K
37:31I think it probably speaks to the novel's theme of reinvention
37:35I think it probably speaks to the author's pretension
37:39Where were we?
37:41I was saying how much I loved your characterization of Eileen
37:44Oh
37:45There aren't enough strong female characters in fiction
37:48Not even fiction written by women
37:50I agree
37:51I know it's fashionable at the moment to say that only women can write authentically about the female experience
37:57But, er, I do tend to regard myself as a feminist writer
38:04Hmm
38:05And where does that voice come from in you?
38:09The female voice?
38:10The female voice
38:11From the women in my life
38:15From the women in my life
38:17Amen
38:18Amen
38:18Amen
38:18Amen
38:22I'm shooting the movie version in Los Angeles, the studio have hired me a private jet, so
38:51we shouldn't have any trouble getting you into the country, and who knows, maybe we'll decide to stay in LA.
39:02Maybe we will decide?
39:06Can you not allow yourself to enjoy our success? Even for a second, we are telling stories that
39:15move and inspire people. Isn't that what muses were made for?
39:24My sister goddesses and I were born. We were not made.
39:27Sorry, it's Larry. Did you talk to the studio?
39:31No, I need them to guarantee at the outset that cast and crew will be made up of at least 50%
39:44women and people of colour. And then we need to publicise it so they can't back out of it when
39:49it comes to hiring people.
40:02Where are we in the movie?
40:03Are you fucking kidding me?
40:15No.
40:17No.
40:19Why are you making so much money?
40:23Why are we making so much money?
40:45I call to you, Omiros, that you may hear me.
41:10Come to my aid when I say your name out loud.
41:15Morpheus.
41:21What does it mean?
41:24It is the name of the god of dreams.
41:32You're writing him a letter.
41:35Something like that.
41:45You're mine.
41:59By law.
42:02The god of dreams can't save you.
42:03Thank you for agreeing to do this interview at your home.
42:25Thank you for getting the word out about the new book.
42:28So, I thought I'd start by asking about your formative literary influences.
42:33Well, I wouldn't even be a writer if it wasn't for having read people like Shirley Jackson and Margaret Atwood and Octavia Rebutler.
42:42Having read Eagle Stones, the writer that came to mind was the late Erasmus Frye.
42:47Oh.
42:48Sorry.
42:48Did you say the late Erasmus Frye?
42:52He's, um...
42:54He died?
42:56Last summer.
42:57Did you know him?
42:59Well, I didn't know him.
43:01I, uh, we met on a couple of occasions.
43:04He was very kind about my work.
43:08But he must have been almost 90.
43:09Did he, um...
43:11Did he die of old age?
43:13No.
43:15He actually poisoned himself.
43:18Apparently, the last thing he did was write a letter to his old publisher, begging them to bring one of his books back into print.
43:25Here comes a candle, I suppose.
43:27I think it was.
43:29How did you know?
43:29It was, perhaps, my favourite book when I was growing up.
43:36It was very moving, honest, and...
43:39Strange.
43:45Poor old sod.
43:47It's a shame people stopped reading him, that his work fell out of fashion.
43:52Not that you'll have to worry about that.
43:54You're Richard Maddock.
43:56Oh, sorry.
43:56Rick Maddock.
43:57Right.
44:00Next question.
44:10You came.
44:15You called.
44:16They told me you had been in prison.
44:22Just like me.
44:24Not like you.
44:26My suffering was nothing compared to yours.
44:28Don't say that.
44:31Comparing our suffering only compounds it.
44:33It pained me to hear of your misfortune.
44:35I'm glad that you're free.
44:37I'm glad that you're free.
44:39You were bound here by the laws.
44:44I know that you cannot free me.
44:47Only he can do that, but...
44:50Perhaps you might...
44:53inspire him...
44:55to let me go.
44:56I will do all that.
44:58I will do all that.
44:59And more.
45:01Dream.
45:02He must be punished.
45:05How?
45:06What punishment could be enough?
45:10Even his death would not bring back what he has taken from me.
45:13He's nothing.
45:16He's just a man.
45:17I cannot allow him to go free.
45:19Why?
45:20Because I was once yours.
45:23Because he heard you.
45:28The last time I saw you, you said you would never speak to me again.
45:32I'm sorry.
45:33I...
45:33I did not know where else to turn.
45:39You misunderstand me.
45:42When I heard you call to me.
45:45Even after all this time.
45:49Let me help you.
45:58Please.
46:00I owe you that much.
46:09What will you do, Tim?
46:10What the f...
46:28Who the fuck are you?
46:30Get out of my house.
46:32Be quiet.
46:33You are keeping a woman here against her will.
46:38I have come to request that you set her free.
46:42You have your mind?
46:44There's no woman here.
46:46I'm calling the police.
46:46Do you know who I am?
46:47I know precisely who and what you are, Richard Muddoch.
46:50Are you going to go to the police?
46:57No.
46:58I will not call any human agency.
47:02Just let her go.
47:04You don't understand.
47:05I need her.
47:06If I didn't have her, I wouldn't be able to write.
47:07I wouldn't have ideas.
47:09Look.
47:10I have money.
47:11Hold your time.
47:12She has been held captive for more than 60 years.
47:24Demeaned.
47:25Abused.
47:27Defiled.
47:28And you will not set her free because you need ideas.
47:32Well.
47:34If it's ideas you want, then you shall have them.
47:38In abundance.
47:39In abundance.
47:42What did you do to me?
48:12Are you giving me nightmares now?
48:18Tell me!
48:19I have done nothing to you, Richard Muddoch.
48:24You have met Morpheus.
48:27And the Romans called the Shaper a form.
48:30He was once my husband.
48:33And the father of my son.
48:36I didn't know you had a son.
48:37You know nothing about me.
48:42But it is too late to let any of that concern you now.
48:45And in the darkness, he thought about the story in every star.
48:59Like fireflies.
49:01Like fireflies.
49:05Flicking.
49:07Fading.
49:10In the night.
49:11Any questions?
49:27The young woman in the third row.
49:33The young woman in the third row.
49:37Your work spans so many genres.
49:41So many worlds.
49:43So many different kinds of characters.
49:45May I just ask, where does all that come from?
49:48Well, for me, ideas don't come from anywhere.
49:57They're all around us.
49:59All the time.
50:01I could write an entire novel set at a book reading.
50:07Where something had happened to the world outside.
50:14A holocaust of some kind.
50:17But the audience was saying.
50:21As long as the author kept reading.
50:26Or a story about the fraternity of critics in reality.
50:31A dark brethren linked by profane rites and blood vows.
50:37To destroy an author, they sacrifice a child and perform a critical mass.
50:47Or a city where the streets are paved with time.
50:52A train.
50:53Full of silent women.
50:55Driven by a blind man.
50:56Heads made of light.
51:09Sorry.
51:12Sorry.
51:13A weregoldfish.
51:15Who transforms into a wolf at full moon.
51:18A man who inherits a library card to the library of Alexandria.
51:25Two old women taking a weasel on holiday.
51:28A system of silence using the words dark, ragged, never, screaming, fire, kiss.
51:48An old man who owned the universe and kept it in a jam jar.
51:52A man who had forced enough to pay for gold.
51:54Mr. Maddox, it's Nora.
51:56What's happened to your hands?
51:58I'm just having so many ideas.
52:00I didn't have a pen or any paper.
52:02I just used my hands.
52:04I said I needed the ITs, but they're coming too fast.
52:12You need to get him to the hospital.
52:14No, please.
52:15Go to my house.
52:17There is a woman in a room upstairs.
52:21She's locked up in there.
52:24Tell her that she can go, that I free her.
52:28I don't understand.
52:29Take my keys, let her out, make her leave, make her go away.
52:36I signed a book for you once, didn't I?
52:41Please.
52:44Okay.
52:45Okay, I'll go.
52:47Speak it.
52:48Stop.
52:49Tell her I am sorry.
52:52Magical and alchemical traditions seen as a cargo cult.
52:56The sun setting over the path and a shark's teeth soup.
53:01A nightingale, a rosebush and a black rubber dog collar.
53:22Hello?
53:23Hello?
53:26Hello?
53:32Hello?
53:36Hello?
53:53Hi.
53:54It is over.
54:11I merely answered your call.
54:16What will you do now?
54:20I think what I must do is to...
54:23try to make sure that this never happens to anyone else ever again.
54:30How?
54:32I do not know.
54:35By inspiring humanity to want better for themselves and each other.
54:41By rewriting the laws by which I was held.
54:45Laws that were written long ago and which my sisters and I had no say.
54:49I shall do the same in my realm.
54:53You have changed, Oneros.
54:56In the old days, you would have left me here to rot without turning a hair.
55:05Do you still hate me?
55:08For leaving you?
55:10For blaming you for what happened?
55:12No.
55:17I have learnt much in recent times and...
55:24No matter.
55:27I do not hate you.
55:28I think you should release the mortal now.
55:38He has set me free.
55:40And without forgiveness, wounds will never heal.
55:43You would forgive him...
55:44for what he has done?
55:46I would not forgive what he has done.
55:49But I must forgive the man.
55:51Not for him.
55:53For me.
55:56Will you free him?
55:59If that is what you wish...
56:02it shall be done.
56:04I'm back, Mr. Maddock.
56:16How are you feeling?
56:17I...
56:18I don't know anymore.
56:21I keep trying to think.
56:26I did what you asked.
56:28I went to your place.
56:29There was just...
56:32a book.
56:33There was something she said.
56:35The...
56:36paper of forms.
56:39There was a name.
56:41She wrote it down.
56:42I...
56:45I wish I could remember.
56:47It's so hard to...
56:50think all of a sudden.
56:53Is there anyone I should call?
56:55She's gone.
56:59And it's all gone with her.
57:05The ideas.
57:06The stories.
57:11They were all...
57:13Who's?
57:15Who are you talking about?
57:23I have no...
57:26idea.
57:29No, I didn't.
57:39May I...
57:40visit you...
57:41in the dream realm sometime?
57:44So that we may...
57:45finally talk about our son.
57:47and...
57:52grieve him...
57:53properly?
57:56Wonder...
57:57perhaps, but...
58:01I understand.
58:03I will not forget this.
58:17I will not forget this.
58:21I will not forget this.
58:25Fare you well.
58:31Fortune me with you.
58:37Goodbye, Kyle.
58:51,
58:56.
