Southland Tales (1/3)


"This is the way the world ends.
     This is the way the world ends.
     This is the way the world ends.
     Not with a whimper... but with a bang.



& Krysta Now: You know what, I like to get fucked, I like to get fucked hard. Okay, but you have to draw the line somewhere. I mean, violence is a big problem in our society today and I will not support it. That is the primary reason why I won’t do anal.


& Fortunio Balducci: Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval*.


& Krysta Now: Go ahead and make fun of my prophecies all you want, Fortunio. But deep down inside, everyone wishes they were a porn star.
    Fortunio: Really?
    Krysta: We’re a bisexual nation living in denial, all because of a bunch of nerds, a bunch of nerds who got off a boat in the 15th century and decided that sex was something to be ashamed of. All the Pilgrims did was ruin the American Indian orgy of freedom.


& Pilot Abilene: Later that day, Krysta had a lunch meeting with adult film director Cyndi Pinziki.
    Krysta: Well, in my first six movies I was just “Krysta.” You know, but then in order to differentiate myself from the 76 other Krystas in the business, I added the “Now. ”
    Pinziki: Wow.
    Krysta: Well, it’s all about now, 2008, not next week, not tomorrow. If you want to fuck me, you can fuck me... now.
    Pinziki: Wow. So is that the name of your TV show? Now?
    Krysta: It’s a topical-discussion-chat-reality show. {...} Can you keep a secret?
    Pinziki: Of course.
    Krysta: I’m fucking a very large and important man.
    Pinziki: Wow.


& Ronald Taverner: There’s a delay in my reflection.
    Zora Charmichaels: Ronald? You just drugged and kidnapped an UPU2 officer. Okay, that’s against the law, sweetheart. Now, I need you to come out here and do this thing. You need to become a racist cop. Come on, honey. Let’s dry our tears and face our fears.


& Krysta Now: Scientists are saying the future is going to be far more futuristic than they originally predicted.


& Boxer Santaros: The basic concept is this... I play an LAPD cop who isn’t who he seems. He’s a paranoid schizophrenic who has a supernatural gift. He sees things.


& Santaros: My character, he realizes that the apocalyptic crime rate is because of global deceleration. The rotation of the Earth is slowing down at a rate of point zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero six miles per hour each day, disrupting the chemical equilibrium in the human brain, causing very irrational criminal behavior.
    Roland: How does he stop the global deceleration?
    Santaros: Oh, he can’t stop it. There is no stopping what can’t be stopped. Only God... can stop it.
    Krysta: But The New York Times said: “God is dead.”
    Santaros: So in the end, I die in a very tragic downtown shootout while whispering my theory to Dr. Muriel Fox, the oceanography disaster specialist.
    Krysta: Astrophysicist!
    Santaros: The oceanography disaster specialist... sweetheart. My character... his name... is Jericho Kane.
    Roland: You’re going to have to wear a bulletproof vest.


& Santaros: Let me ask you, what goes through your head when you sit behind the wheel... cruising the streets, digesting humanity? Is it a process of elimination?
Each car that passes, the person inside... are they a mere suspect? Or are we all innocents, our chariots mere chess pieces waiting to be thrown from the gridlock and into the arms of the wolves?
    Ronald: Well, I’d say we act like concerned citizens. We look at all the people, all the cars. We look for any unusual or erratic behavior. Speed changes or lane changes that seem unsafe.
    Santaros: Yeah, but don’t you think emotions come into play? Judgment calls, affected by whatever mood you’re in on that particular day?.. Emotional responses based on your past events?..
    Ronald: Well, there is one thing.
    Santaros: I knew it! I knew it, tell me. Be honest.
    Ronald: To be honest... We’re just looking out for the niggers.
    Santaros: The niggers?!
    Ronald: Yeah. They’re everywhere.
    Santaros: You’re joking.
    Ronald: No, I’m not joking. ... I’m just fucking with you, man.
    Santaros: That’s a funny joke.


& Shoshana Cox: And the Supreme Court are a bunch of assholes that... who the fuck elected them anyway, right? I mean, they’re a bunch of supreme shit heads, right? Don’t tell me what to do with my body, you fuckstick, right?


& Shoshana: I have a question for the Supreme Court. What happens when a woman has sex on a flight from London to Los Angeles, then takes the morning-after pill while flying across the time zone?
    Krysta: I don’t know.
    Shoshana: Then it becomes the morning-before pill.
    Deena Storm: You are a genius.
    Krysta: Holy shit. That is brilliant.
    Shoshana: Hello. Can’t argue with that.


& Zora: Sometimes a dream can become a nightmare on the turn of a dime.


& Santaros: Do you ever feel like there’s a thousand people... locked inside of you?
    Ronald: Sometimes.
    Santaros: But it’s your memory that keeps them glued together. Keeps all those people from... fighting one another. Maybe in the end that’s all we have. The memory gospel.
    Ronald: Would you excuse me for a second?

& Dr. Katarina Kuntzler: We have read your screenplay. The Power.
    Santaros: How did you get a copy of my screenplay?
    Serpentine: Don’t look so scared, Mr. Santaros. The future... is just like you imagined.
    Dr. Inga Von Westphalen: This is the way the world ends. Not with a whimper...
    Kuntzler: ...But with a baaaang.
