A Cure for Wellness (2016)

Pembroke: To my fellow-members of the board. A man cannot unsee the truth. He cannot willingly return to darkness, or go blind once he has the gift of sight, any more than he can be unborn. We are the only species capable of self-reflection. The only species with the toxin of self-doubt written into our genetic code. Unequal to our gifts, we build, we buy, we consume. We wrap ourselves in the illusion of material success. We cheat and deceive as we claw our way to the pinnacle of what we define as achievement. Superiority to other men...
    There is a sickness inside us. Rising like the bile that leaves that bitter taste at the back of our throats. It's there in every one of you seated around the table. We deny its existence until one day the body rebels against the mind... and screams out, "I am not a well man." ... But the truth cannot be ignored. For only when we know what ails us can we hope to find the cure...

Hollis: Can I ask you something, Mr. Lockhart?.. You ever have a 12-inch black dick in your ass?... Prison, Mr. Lockhart. You're in a lot of trouble.

Lockhart: Only rich people, huh? Must be expensive.
Enrico: Well, wealthy people have wealthy problems.

Hannah: No one ever leaves.

Volmer: Tell me, Mr. Lockhart... when was the last time that you actually felt well? Before you came here, when was the last time... that you even slept through the night? The mind may lie... but the body cannot.

Volmer: We don't believe in chemical anesthesia at the institute. The impurities inhibit the cure. But, you will find that with a proper focus... the mind can overcome any amount of pain.

Lockhart: There is a sickness inside each of us. We do our best to deny its existence... dealing in lies... and distraction. Until one day the body rebels against the mind and screams out... "I am not a well man."

Lockhart: A man cannot unsee the truth. He cannot willingly return to darkness... or go blind once he has the gift of sight... any more than he can be unborn.

Volmer: Do you know what the cure for the human condition is? Disease. Because only then is there hope for a cure.

Volmer: I will always be here to take care of you.

&  Но если говорить о практическом аспекте, все очень просто. Доллар – это желудочный сок Картеля, с помощью которого тот переваривает мир. Мы все – пища в желудке. А различные комбинации слов и картинок, встречающиеся в информационном поле мэйнстрима – это слюна и ферменты.
     Вату даже жалко. Она год за годом пытается создать свою элиту, чтобы перестать быть пищей – а элита, развив когнитивные навыки, прикидывает цепким молодым умом, куда все идет, и превращается во враждебную слюну.

&  Как и все гуманитарии, Семен путал рынок с международным казино, где Картель позволяет Спекуляторам играть чужими сбережениями на старость.

&  У каждого из нас есть ватная сторона, о которой многие не подозревают, пока не вострубит горн – а случается это обычно в среднем возрасте, когда человек начинает догадываться, что жидомасоны его не озолотят, но все еще верит, что это могут сделать чекисты. Парадокс (и величайшая Русская Тайна) в том, что чекисты действительно иногда платят – но только тем, кто беззаветно трудится на воображаемых жидомасонов.

&  Инфопродукт – это не целенаправленная стрела лжи, посланная в ваш мозг, а побочный эффект чужого выживания, бьющий вам в рожу вонючий выхлоп автомобиля, который даже не пытается вас переехать, а просто умно и осторожно катит по своим делам. Вы всего лишь стали на несколько секунд частью дороги

&  Сирил научил меня давать только легчайший намек на подразумеваемый смысл – умный читатель, сказал он, додумает сам, а глупый все равно пройдет мимо.

  ... P.S. У этого романа (впрочем, теперь уже повести) было довольно длинное послесловие, но К. сказал, что оно ни к чему. Наверно, он прав.”

June: Who can remember pain, once it's over? All that remains of it is a shadow. Not in the mind even, in the flesh. Pain marks you, but too deep to see. Out of sight, out of mind.

June: Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief. A game to tell what our children would grow up to be... The list is a lot shorter now. Especially if it's a girl. Martha, Jezebel, Handmaid, Wife.

&  На самом деле все просто – как сказал великий Гете, лишь тот достоин жизни и свободы, кому дают финансовый ресурс.

&  Мы начинаем сближение с другим человеком, пропитываясь теми смыслами, среди которых он живет.

&  Властям ведь не нужны неуправляемые друзья. Властям нужны управляемые враги – чтобы ниша была плотно занята и случайных идиотов в ней не заводилось. Чирикать они могут что хотят – главное, чтобы в час «Х» повернули толпу куда надо. Вот поэтому чекисты будут надувать через камуфлированную соломинку все это либеральное разнотравье и многоцветье, даже если нефть упадет до пяти. А всяких там националистов и патриотов, увы, ждет финансирование только по остаточному принципу.

&  Картель, управляющий мировыми делами через систему тонкой и многоступенчатой гидравлики, вовсе не таится от бесстрашной философской мысли в сумраке. Он, скорее, сам отбрасывает ту сумрачную тень, в которой философская мысль блуждает, пытаясь понять, на что теперь дают гранты. А на что их дают, проще всего выяснить, посмотрев, чем озабочены актуальные художники, мыслители и прочий гуманитарный корпоратив.
     Я не хочу сказать, конечно, что все эти люди куплены с потрохами. Вовсе нет. Мир гораздо жестче. Платить начинают только тем, кто сам пробился в топ – а к этому моменту всякий мыслитель хорошо понимает, о чем мыслить, а о чем нет. Современный Декарт подобен элементарной частице – он проявляется лишь там, где этого требуют расчеты и балансы. Во всех остальных ситуациях он неощутим как электромагнитная волна.
     Поэтому все духовные объекты, мерцающие сегодня в гуманитарной вселенной, сделаны из денег. И основной – вернее, единственный – вопрос философии звучит в наше время так: из чего сделаны сами деньги? Но философы умные ребята и молчат по этому поводу в тряпочку.

Виктор Пелевин — Лампа Мафусаила (2/8)

<< Начало

&  В общем, моя история была классической. ...потеряв свои деньги, я принялся учить, как правильно распорядиться чужими.

&  ...почти любой заголовок в мэйнстримных медиа, которые я сканировал, содержал негативные эпитеты – и тогда, когда золото шло вверх, и тогда, когда оно шло вниз. Когда золото опускалось, это называлось «Gold falls, tumbles, precipitates...» Когда же оно поднималось, это называлось «Gold struggles to recover...», «Gold fails to climb to...», – и дальше называлась взятая более-менее с потолка отметка, которую золоту опять «не удалось взять». А если, например, золото росло десять дней подряд, но на пятый день чуть припадало, заголовки были такие: «Gold drops first time in five days».
     В общем, со словом «золото» проделывали то же самое, что в конце прошлого века со словом «серб»: при всяком возможном и невозможном случае помещали в негативный контекст (задач у мэйнстримной прессы много, а технология, по сути, только одна).

&  В чем отличие профессионала от лузера-любителя? Лузер склонен к конспирологии. Он будет выяснять, «кто за этим стоит», ротшильды или рептилоиды, хотя еще в школе его учили, что современный финансовый капитал – такой же последовательный интернационалист, как товарищ Троцкий.
     Профессионал же, в отличие от лузера, знает, что миром правят не англо-саксы, не евреи, не китайцы – а Дух Денег, чьи пути неисповедимы.

&  По причине общего российского неустройства (и, я бы сказал, глубокой отсталости даже самой нашей отсталости) «работать на ватный дискурс» означает, по сути, создавать его на ровном месте – так что грех мой был двойным.
     Вата, чтобы было ясно – это вовсе не патриархально-православное русопятство под чекистским патронажем, как неверно думают некоторые бойцы. Вата – понятие международное и транскультурное, равно обнимающее, например, боевой флаг американских конфедератов и белую традиционную мужскую сексуальность.
     Главное отличие ваты от цивилизации в том, что вата по своей природе реактивна. Она не создает повестку дня, ошарашивающую всех неожиданностью, острым запахом и непонятно откуда взявшимся финансированием, а послушно отрабатывает ту, что бросили ей в почтовый ящик «силы прогресса» – и при этом надеется победить в культурной войне, на которую ее вызвали этой самой повесткой. Ну-ну, Бог в помощь.
     Есть ли у ваты шанс? Нет, пока она остается ватой.

Виктор Пелевин — Лампа Мафусаила, или Крайняя битва чекистов с масонами

большой полифонический нарратив

Часть 1. Золотой жук

производственная повесть

  “Поскольку значительная часть моей истории (если не вся она) будет посвящена событиям с отчетливым мистическим привкусом, хочу сразу сказать, как я отношусь к этой самой мистике. ...

&  Я строгий и последовательный материалист – в том, что касается природы моего разума и окружающего мира. Но в Духа Денег я тем не менее верю всей душой, хотя и не пишу о нем в обзорах.

&  И я понял то, что время от времени понимает в нашей стране каждый: девяностые вовсе не кончились. Просто раньше они происходили со всеми сразу, а теперь случаются в индивидуальном порядке.

&  – Потому что человек так устроен. Его сложно убить безболезненно. Боль – наша внутренняя сигнализация, что дело плохо. И контуров этой сигнализации в организме очень много.
     – Я думал, – сказал я, – уж что-что, а этот вопрос человечество решило.
     – Только внешне.
     – В каком смысле?
     – Смерть считается безболезненной, если человек не кричит «уй, мама!» Но что при этом чувствует мозг, не знает никто.

&  – Больно точно не будет?
     – Точно. Забудешься под тихий шум дождя...
     Мне понравилась эта картина. В ней был какой-то древнеяпонский уют: самурай делает харакири на опушке соснового леса, и ему совсем-совсем не больно – он любуется соснами и слушает тихий шорох капель...
     Если вдуматься, вся культурка, которой нас откармливают – книги, фильмы, религии – примерно об этом. А потом каждому приходится стать этим самураем самому – и лично проверить, как обстоят дела.

&  Ничто не придает человеку такого мужества, как страх. Когда невозможно становится жить, умирать даже любопытно.

Rift Soldier: Uh, you know, Doc. The usual. Nice and nasty with a chance of radioactivity.

Destroyer (2018)

DiFranco: You know what successful people do, Detective Bell? They get over shit. They move on, and they... They build things. Big fuckin' houses on cliffs in Palos Verdes. Would you consider your life since Palm Springs a success?

Silas: You're a liar. You're a user. You wanna be powerful. You wanna be recognized. You wanna be seen... But you can't do what you want.
Erin Bell: Why?
Silas: 'Cause someone's gonna see you, and you're gonna get punished for doing what you want... I got good news and bad news. There's nobody fucking watching.

Officer: We don't wait for backup?
Erin Bell: This is a fucking gunfight.

Erin Bell: Don't make excuses for what you want. It's weak.

Jay: She is never gonna love you, you know?

Lucas Sinclair: Mike, come on. Just get him the date.
Mike Wheeler: I'm not prostituting my sister!

Will Byers: Is that why you don't have any friends?

Jonathan Byers: Okay, look... Who would you rather be friends with? Bowie or Kenny Rogers?

You're the Worst 4×12

Jimmy: So, I was thinking maybe later we could go for a ride and revisit some of our favorite activities. Get Chinese food, hit the movies. Secret pinball arcade... Maybe some micheladas and "you dropped something" in the park.

Lindsay: So, what are you gonna do?
Gretchen: Oh, who knows what's gonna happen? We'll just have to see what the universe sends my way...
Lindsay: "The universe"? Who are you, Stephen Hawking?

Gretchen: Okay, so, "pedo" means "fart." And "pedo mojado" means "fart with sauce." Now, "Tu madre es una puta" means, uh... Well, it means that your mother works at night.

Gretchen: You love Wheel, don't you, Liv?
Olivia: Always select the "T" first. The most commonly used letters spell out "eat irons." Solve the puzzle as soon as you know it, and spinning for extra thousands isn't worth the risk.
Gretchen: Good girl.

Gretchen: See? Everything's fine. Everyone's healthy. We're just hanging out like people.

Max: Life's tough, but it'll be over eventually. How've you been, Jimmy?
Jimmy: Life is a festering wound, my boy. You enjoy your youth. It's all downhill from here.
Max: Oh, no. It gets worse?

Jimmy: Los Angeles is dead. It's a quartz mausoleum of vape shops, YouTube Red billboards and poke restaurants.

Edgar: Everyone goes away eventually...

Jimmy: Listen, Edgar, the only person you can truly rely on is yourself. My best advice would be to accept your new reality and... move on.

Doug Benson: Edgar... I am so ashamed. You get to a certain point in your career where you think you're safe, and then one day, inevitably, you look up and see Mozart in the rearview mirror... and you realize: Holy shit, I'm Salieri!

Doug Benson: So brave of you to show up at my house at 9:00 on a weeknight to yell at me about your job. You're gonna go far in this town with that kind of political savvy.

From Russia with Drugs

Elementary 7×7

Marcus: ... Then he went all Scrooge McDuck on his bed.
Holmes: And who or what is Scrooge McDuck?
Watson: Picture your father but... as a duck.

Holmes: And to be clear, there are few things on the planet dirtier than money. It was once estimated that 90% of American currency had traces of cocaine on it.

Marcus: ... I also know cops who swear they got sick just from touching the stuff.
Holmes: That's the classic nocebo effect. The mere suggestion that a substance can be harmful causes people to suffer negative effects after exposure.

Captain Gregson: Who would go to all that trouble to kill a lowlife like Ridley Dineen?
Marcus: Would you believe the Russian government?

Holmes: If the Russian government was responsible and it was just a bit of spy-on-spy violence, it's possible I could understand. And my investigation might just go away...

---

Holmes: When we first crossed paths, I could have outed you as a spy, but I didn't.
Olga: Is that supposed to make me trust you more or less?

Holmes: Have you forgotten my new color-coding system already? Red lines indicate ownership. Blue is a familial relationship. Green denotes a financial connection—
Watson: Pink is for kissing cousins. Purple means two suspects sang karaoke duets.
Holmes: You mock me.

Holmes: You know, that's one thing I appreciate about people in your profession— punctuality. I never met a spy who didn't arrive on time.
Olga: Old habits die hard.

Watson: We could have asked him why he would cook up some chemical weapons to help murder a thief.

Mary Louise: Rather it's as you suggest... we have to do what is best for the children.

Madeline: No! This is a healing institute. Not a swinger's convention.

Madeline: If I fuck up again, it will not be with infidelity. I give you my word. All my future mistakes will be brand new ones.

Mary Louise: I was hoping this would just be about... tea, but... people don't do that anymore. Do they?
Renata: Uh, do what?
Mary Louise: Just enjoy each other's company. Just... no agenda. It would be so nice... if people could just be together, you know. But... maybe somebody will invent an app for that...

Renata: Are you placing judgment on my life choices?

Morgan: I'm telling you, as impossible as all this seems... we can do this. We can, 'cause we done the impossible before.

Dylan: Do you think it's going to work?
Luciana: It was your idea. What do you think?
Dylan: It's going to work. The book says you can only see with your heart, not your eyes. So I got rid of my eyes.

Dwight: I'm talking about how you are, you know, the way you see things. That had to have been how you were before, right? How it is now... and it hasn't burned you or broken you, twisted you. I hope it never does.
John: I'm even luckier than you think. World did a number on me before all this. But all this gave me more than I ever had. That's been hard to deal with. But I found a way.

John: Well... I think more things are possible than impossible.

John: I saw Cary Grant do this in a movie once... I was always hoping to try it when I was cop, but never got the chance.

From the Beginning, I Was Screwed

You're the Worst 4×11

Boone: Speaker phone! Child in the kitchen!

Gretchen: If you guys did a song together, it would be massive. I don't want to just throw out the phrase, "Plays over the Grey's Anatomy credits," but, yeah, that.

Steeb Corniglia: Ooh, I adore Jimmy. Between you and me, it felt like a cacodoxy to be sidetracked by a genre experiment. Concur?

Gretchen: Poland? Nice choice. What, was Kyrgyzstan already taken?
Olivia: Poland is the ninth largest country in Europe. They boast 17 Nobel Prize winners, and their main foods are pierogies, kielbasa and golumpkies.
Gretchen: What? "Blumpkins"? Spoiler alert, this bitch is toast.

Edgar: From the beginning, I was screwed. My mom's uterus was L-shaped. That's why I have equilibrium problems.

Gretchen: Everyone knows that France is the best country. They basically won World War II, and they invented the best type of kissing: tongue kissing. Their president is a Benetton model who bangs his mom-wife.

Gretchen: Are you kidding me? I-I'm not even done yet. I have a whole thing with a baguette!

Lindsay: What are we watching? I know a bunch of the sounds they're saying, but I don't understand the sentences.

Edgar: We still have to write our sketch for this week. What if there's a dictator who's a tater, but also a total dick?

Paul: Lindsay... it wasn't my fault. The entire DUI industry is run by a for-profit organization called Mothers Against Drunk Driving. They keep lowering the legal limit so they can raise money to pay their huge executive salaries. That's mothers for you.

Doug Benson: Quick call before I board a flight to Davos. I'm hosting a forum on building investor confidence in post-civil war Moldova.
Edgar: Wait. There's a civil war in Moldova?!
Doug Benson: Not yet, but we're aiming for March.

Frankie: Now then, onto the first item... Label and ship packages. Oh, for Pharrell's sake! Why can't you just paint two "X" s on my eyes and bury me at sea?

Ellie: His name's Church. It's short for Winston Churchill. He's someone who lived a really long time ago.
Jud: I know who Winston Churchill is.
Ellie: Wow. You must be really old.

Louis: Well, that doesn't have to be such a bad thing, does it? Hmm? A place to bury our pets and remember them. It might seem scary, but it's not. It's perfectly natural. Just like dying is natural. Hmm? We all die and eventually, one way or another, we all go back into the ground.
Rachel: What Daddy's trying to say is that even though the pet's body goes in the ground, its soul keeps living and goes to heaven. Just like Nana Creed. Remember how I told you she's looking down on you?
Louis: Well, we don't actually know that it works exactly like that...

Victor Pascow: This is the place where the dead rest. Do not go on to the place where the dead walk.

Other Rebecca: I lived in a wall for eight months.

Greg: You know, holding hands is a strange concept. If you think about it, it actually makes more sense to hold someone's elbow. Less sweaty, less germy, and the elbow gets so little love otherwise, you know?

Rebecca: I have an idea. A notion. A concept. Une idée folle.
Greg: The last time you said that, you wanted to look into my eyes for 20 minutes straight.
Rebecca: I know. Wasn't that great? I got to know your eyes so well. I could draw your eyes with my eyes closed.

Rebecca: I know you don't like water parks or amusement parks or... parks, but you've never been to one with me.

Josh Chan: Okay, you're-you're drunk. You've been drinking. You must have had, like, three drinks tonight. You know you can't drink like that. You're Jewish.

Rebecca: I was just so happy for a second, and... I legit thought I could get away with not doing any of the stuff... It's like I did squats every day for a year, and now I just want to eat doughnuts for the rest of my life and never go back to the gym but still have a great butt forever, you know?
Dr. Shin: Yeah. I do know. I work out my butt three times a week. You think I like squats?

Paula: Wait, what? ICU? N-No, I-I can't go there now. I got stuff to do.
Cool, then put "dropping dead" on your to-do list for today.

Rebecca: Paula, what were you doing? You walked around being so sick for so many hours, toughing it out on your own. You know you don't have to do that.
Paula: I just... I didn't have time to be sick.
Rebecca: Okay, no one has time to be sick.

Rebecca: You have to take better care of yourself.
Paula: I know that now.
Rebecca: Promise me that you will do everything the doctors want you to do.
Paula: Um, yeah, but they don't want me to do anything. They just want me to lie here for a couple days. And it's-it's not just a onetime thing. They're saying I gotta take better care of myself for life. Like salads. He used the word "salads," Rebecca. Without the word "potato" in front of it.

Paula: I mean, salads are just piles of sandwich with no bread.

Rebecca: It's not great... but you have to do what they want you to do. Okay, even if it is tough and tiring and exhausting... like a salad. Because, also, like a salad, there are croutons and bacon bits to look forward to.

Где есть история развития персонажа, а не 3-часовая эпическая битва, в которой одинаковые железные роботы сражаются против одинаковых железных роботов.

Happy: It's bigger than me, it's bigger than you, it's bigger than all of us. Because it's the future. And we're the past.

Happy: Don't chase this story!

Althea: Szewczyk-Przygocki.
Morgan: What?
Althea: It's my last name. I had two parents with Polish names who insisted on double-barreling.

You're the Worst 4×9

Gretchen: I'm not really a "do something about stuff" kind of person. I'm more of a "it's too late to buy a wedding gift, so I'll just stop being friends with them" kind of person.

Edgar: Dude, are you sure Birds is for kids? That's the second suicide and they haven't even left the island yet!

Jimmy: Well, I have some highly exciting news! The Width of a Peach is a bestseller! It is number seven on Amazon's Erotica list, number five on Amazon's Erotica subcategory Historical Romance list, and number one on Amazon's Erotica subcategory Historical Romance subcategories, World War II, UK and Family Fun.

Jimmy: ....And then, we fell asleep on the phone together. Like lovers.

Becca: Hey! I had her, you watch her. That was the deal.

Faye: Girls, you don't have to compete for my attention. I'm never gonna tell you which one I like better.

Jimmy: Happiness is a finite commodity. You have to steal it from people.

Becca: Sorry, peaches. You can try and blame other people, but, like the actual 9/11, you did it to yourself.

Faye Cottumaccio: Well, Officer, if you're gonna search the place, I suggest you start under my sweater—
Faye: Am I talking?

Gretchen: Have you guys noticed a pattern?
Lindsay: It was the '80s, Gretch. You put some triangles and squiggly lines on a shirt and called it fashion.

Lindsay: The only way our lives are going to get fixed is if we fix them ourselves.

Gretchen: Seriously, what is wrong with me?

I'm Almost Over You

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend 4×11

Greg: Should we be kissing in public?
Rebecca: Oh. No, you're right. Let me think. Is that wise? But the more important question is: Do I care?... Truly don't care.

Paula: Romantic and fun? You guys talking about romantic comedies? You looking for one to watch? I'm an expert... To make your selection a little easier, here are your genres. You have your witty British ones... Your workplace empowerment movies... Your bro-y ones where men wax things and live on boats... And my personal favorite, the late-middle-aged fantasies where all the women wear white cashmere turtlenecks and have fantastic kitchens.

Paula: "Likes them"? Uh, Rebecca loves them. Especially the ones with some kind of powerless, nerdy underdog with a wacky best friend who feels invisible but then comes up with a scheme. And then the underdog makes a big, grand gesture and wins the person of their dreams.

Nathaniel: There's just one problem. We're uggos. We're trag'. We're-we're before pictures. We're basically invisible.

Nathaniel: You ready?
Maya: Okay. We've got nothing to lose. Except everything. Let's do this.

Tim: Here you are, sir... The sixth book in the series. It's called The Girl with the Face Full of Fire. It's about adult cystic acne.

Tim: I was about to give up, but at the last minute, I ran into a Swedish friend who translates the books into English, and he told me that the original author died after writing the first three books, and another writer wrote the next two books, and there is a new manuscript. And voilà. Or, as the Swedes like to say, "Varsagod."

Nathaniel: Sure, we're an unexpected couple. You're short, I'm tall. You're quirky, I'm really not. I know the world thinks people like us shouldn't be together, that we don't belong together, but we do. We're that mismatched couple from different worlds that can make it.

Nathaniel: I got to let you go. Because you're happy, right? You're happy with Greg?

Leonard: Get my steak ready, Emily Blunt.
