A Child is Like A Flower, His Head is just floating in The Breeze





Jim Morrison - Dawn's Highway

Indians scattered on Dawn's Highway, bleeding --
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile, eggshell mind.

Me and my -ah- mother and father
and a Grandmother and a grandfather
were driving through The Desert, at dawn.... 
and a truck load of Indian workers 
had either hit another car, or just - 

I don't know what happened

But there were Indians scattered 
all over The Highway, bleeding to death.

So the car pulls up and stops. 
That was the first time I tasted Fear.

I musta' been about four - like A Child is Like A Flower,
His Head is just floating in The Breeze, man.

The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking back --
Is that The Souls of The Ghosts of those dead Indians
Maybe one or two of 'em
were just running around, freaking out --
And just leaped into My Soul.
And They're still in there.

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind.
Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of fantastic L.A.

Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth if a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
Blood on the rise, it's following me.

Indian, Indian 
What Did You Die For?
Indian says, 
'Nothing at All.'




You're late.

Cowboy sneak-attack, Chief!

How are you?

Good to see you, pal.
Okay, big man!

Good to see you.
Ah, yes!

Good to see you, My Friend.

You Beauty!
Who is This?

And I am Diana.

Where did you find her?

She found me.

I plucked him from the sea.

It's a long story.
We don't have to talk about that right now.

What's there?

British tea for the Germans,
German beer for the British.
And, Edgar Rice Burroughs novels for both.

And guns!

Well, May We get What We Want!
May We get What We Need.
But May We never get What We Deserve.

She is sitting right there, next to you all, Fellas.

Strange thunder.

German 77s.
....Guns. Big ones.

It's The Front, out there.
The Evening Hate.

So, who do you fight for in This War?

I don't fight.

You're here for Profit, then?

No better place to be.

Nowhere better to be than in A War 
where you don't take A Side?

I have nowhere else.
The Last War took everything from My People.
We have nothing left.

At least here, I'm Free.

Who took that from Your People?

His People.

Don't go...
Don't go in. Don't go!
Don't! Boys, no!
Don't go in there!

You're safe.
You're safe. Are you okay?

Get off me, Woman!
Stop making a fussGod!

He sees Ghosts.

You're going to get cold.

Oh, I don't...
Don't worry about Charlie.
He doesn't mean anything by it.

Get out of there, now.
We've got to move!

You bloody animal, move!
Go on! Get on!

These animals, why are they hurting them?

Because they need to move, quick!
Like Us!


But This is not The Way.
I could Help Them.

There's no Time
Come on, Woman!

Mama!

That Man. He's wounded.

There is Nothing You can Do about it, Diana.
We must keep moving!

What is This?

You wanted me to take you to The War.
This is it.

So, where are The Germans?

A couple hundred yards across the field.
Their trench is...
Watch out!

Chief! It's good to see you!

Oi! Chief's back! He's back!

All right, let's move!

Diana, We have to go.


We need to help these people.

We have to stay on Mission.
The next safe crossing is at least a day away.

What are we waiting for?
We cannot leave without helping them.

These People are Dying.
They have nothing to eat, and in The Village.... 
Enslaved, she said!

I... I...

Women.


I understand that.

Children!


We need to make our next position by sundown.

How can you say that?
What is the matter with you?

This is No Man's Land, Diana!
It means no Man can cross it, all right?

This battalion has been here for nearly a year
and They barely gained an inch.

Because, on The Other Side, there are a bunch of Germans
pointing machine guns at every square inch of this place.

This is not something you can cross.
It's not possible.

So what? So, we do nothing?

No We, We are Doing Something.
We areWe just...

Steve.

We can't Save Everyone in This War.

Steve, Steve.

This is not What We Came Here to Do.

No -- But it's What I'm Going to Do.

Diana!

What the bloody hell is she playing at?

She's taking all the fire!
Let's go!

Stay down! Stay down!

That's an order!

Go, now!

She's done it!
She's got them on the run!

Get down, get down! She's done it!

Steve!

Let's go!

Come on, go!

Stay here. I'll go ahead.

What the...
Let's move!

We need more firepower.

Sniper!

Go!

Get in!

Charlie, Bell Tower!
Come on, Charlie. Shoot him!

Hey, it's okay.

Huh.

Follow me! Give me some cover!

Right!

We're going to put this on our backs,
and when I say golift hard!
Okay.

Diana! Shield!

Go!

Stay very, very still for me, My Friends.
Please. So important.
Thank you very much.
This has been such An Honour for me,
taking Your Photograph.
Thank You so much.

For all his talk of shooting,

he cannot shoot.

Not everyone gets to be
what they want to be all the time.

Me, I am an actor.

I love acting.

I didn't want to be a soldier.

But I'm the wrong color.

Everyone is fighting
their own battles, Diana.

Just as you are fighting yours.

It's too much.
I wish you well.

Thank you, thank you.

I'm on the, o the phone.

It's Veld. V-E-L-D.
It's a...

tiny village.

It may not even be on the map.

I found it! I found it!

Did you find Ludendorff's operation?

No, no, no. But I located him.

And, oh, lucky you,
he's only a few miles away,

at German High Command.

German High Command?

And so, intel reports

that Ludendorff is hosting a gala.

A sort of last hurrah

before the Germans sign the armistice.

And the Kaiser himself
is going to be there.

As well as Dr. Maru.

Actually, the gala could be perfect cover.

Captain Trevor.
Yes, sir.

You are under no circumstances,
to go anywhere

near that gala tomorrow night.
Do you hear me?

You'd be jeopardizing
everything we've worked for.

You cannot compromise the armistice.

Sir, there will be no armistice...
Steve!

Once Ludendorff bombs
the entire front line.

Hold on one second, sir.
You shouldn't...

You shouldn't be bothered
about upsetting the peace accord.

Why not?
Ares would never let...

What?

What is it?

Of course. It makes complete sense.

Ares developed a weapon,
the worst ever devised.

Ares? You mean Ludendorff.
No.

I mean Ares.

Ludendorff is Ares!

Sir, this is our last chance,

our final chance to find out where
the gas is and to learn how,

Ludendorff plans on delivering it.

No, no, no, no, no. I forbid it.

Do you hear me? I forbid it.

Sir, I'm losing you! Sir?

Hello?
Sir...

How likely is he to respect my wishes?

Not very likely, I'll be honest.

Sammy. Sammy, no, no, no, no.

Sammy, I have to work.
Please stop.

I gotta rustle up a German uniform.

I still have to plot the course
for tomorrow.

That's easy, boss. Come on.

There is nothing we can do
until tomorrow.

You said it yourself, Steve.

So, Madame, s'il vous plaît.

Incroyable!

Magnifique!

Thank you. Thank you.

Monsieur, s'il vous plaît.

Et voilà!
Merci, Sammy.

Et voilà!

You did this.

We did.

Do you have dancing on,

Paradise Island?

Dancing, yeah. Of course.

But these people are just,

swaying.

Okay, if you're going to...

be fighting the God of War,
I may as well teach you...

how to dance, you poor thing.

All right, probably without the gun.

Madame.

If you would.

Well,

if I'm going to a gala,
I'll need to know...

You're not going to the gala.
Of course I am.

No, you're not.
Why wouldn't I?

Well, for one,
you don't know how to dance.

I would argue that, they...

don't know how to dance.
Be polite, be polite.

All right. So, give me your hand.

Like so.

And I'm gonna put my arm,

around you like so.

And we just...

What did you call it? Sway?

Then you just sway.

You're awfully close.

That's what it's all about.

I see.

I haven't heard him sing in years.

It's... It's a snowfall.

Touch it.

It's magical!
It is, isn't it?

Steve Trevor :
Yeah it is.

Wonder Woman :
Is this what people do
when there are No Wars to fight?

Steve Trevor :
Yeah.
Yeah, this and other things.

Wonder Woman :
What things?

Steve Trevor :
They have breakfast.
They really love a breakfast.

And... They love to wake up,
and read the paper and go to work.

They get married.
Make some babies, 
grow old together. I guess.

Wonder Woman :
What is it like?

Steve Trevor :
I have no idea.

The Villagers gave them to us.

A gracious gift.
And They call us Heroes.

Wonder Woman :
You are.

Hey, fellas. I know that
I said This Job was Two Days and...
A Deal's a Deal.

You'd get lost without us.

Yeah.

We all know Diana is capable
of taking care of herself.
I'm worried that you won't make it.

There's no more money.

We've been paid enough.

Charlie :
….Maybe you're better off
without me, yeah?

Wonder Woman :
No, Charlie —
Who Will Sing for Us?

Yeah.

Oh, no, please.

Sing?

Ghost Traps




Hey, it never occurred to me to ask you back then —

What Happens to Them 

in Those Boxes…?

Do They Die in There?


Do You Care...?


That's why you didn't kill Beverly.

'Cause she wasn't afraid.


And we aren't either.

Not anymore.


Now you're the one who's afraid.

Because you're gonna starve.


"He thrusts his fists 

against the posts

and still insists 

he sees the ghosts

He thrusts his fists 

against the posts"


IT :

Fear...




Danny :
Pictures in A Book. 
You said they were just 
Pictures in A Book  
and They couldn't Hurt Me.

HALLORAN :
Some things, Dark Things
The Shining's like food.
They're mosquitoes landing for blood.

The Overlook, it was  always just pictures to me.
But I didn't shine like you.
Nobody shines like you.

So, you in that damn hotel,  you was like 
a million-watt battery all plugged in.
And it ate it up.

You made it real.
Started soon as you  walked through The Door.

Can't do nothing about that, 
I'm sorry to tell you, but 
You're Not a Child.
You're older now.
Much older, in a way.

You gotta hear this.

World's a hungry place.
And The Darkest Things 
are The Hungriest
and They'll eat what shines.

Swarm it like mosquitoes or leeches.
Can't do nothing about that.

What you can do... 
is turn what they come for  against 'em.

My Grandfather, He was 
mean Son of a Bitch.
Dark inside.

Same Type of Dark as Your Dad.
Beat me senseless, and My Grandma, too, 
and when he died, I danced.

But he kept on coming back.
Standing in my room.

Suit all gray and stinkin' from whatever mold 
was growin' on him in That Box.
One day, he grabbed me, and He was Real.

His nails were long from growing in The Grave, a
and they cut me, Doc.
Cut me deep.

So, Grandma, she taught me 
A Trick :
Gave me A Present.

I want you to know this box... inside and out.
Don't just look at it. Touch it.
Stick your nose inside and see if there's a smell.
Know every corner, every single thing.

Danny :
Why?

HALLORAN :
Because you're gonna build one 
just like it in Your Mind.

One even more special.

So next time that bitch 
comes around, you'll be ready.






BUGS BUNNY:
Eh, what's up, Doc?
What's the bit?
What's cookin'?

WILE E. COYOTE
What's cooking, little friend? 
Why, you are.

BUGS BUNNY
Me?

WILE E. COYOTE
Why, yes. 

(LAUGHING)

BUGS BUNNY: 
Ouch! You're killing me!
Ouch!
Agony! Agony!

(OLD WOMAN SCREAMING)
(SCREAMING STOPS) 
(DOOR LOCK CLICKS)

WILE E. COYOTE: 
Let me see now.
It is obvious that this is no ordinary rabbit.
Therefore, I must dream up 
a brilliant master strategy, ingenious...

Wendy, Darling :
You okay, Doc?

WILE E. COYOTE
Now, uh, what if I lured him...

Danny :
Yeah, Mom. I'm okay. 

...into a rock crusher?


BUGS BUNNY
Nah, nah, nah, too complicated.

WILE E. COYOTE
Yeah, yeah, too complicated. 
But what if I...

BUGS BUNNY
Uh-uh, too much detail.

WILE E. COYOTE
Right. Too much detail.

Danny :

Hey, Azzie.

You got your wires crossed tonight.

(DOOR CREAKS)

That room's empty, Az.

There's no one in that room.


HALLORAN :

Whoa! Hang on, Doc.



Danny :

Dick!

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I... I... I thought it was...


HALLORAN :

Thought I was from The Overlook.

[ Well, he is... ]

Almost locked me up.

Still getting visits 

from them old ghosts?


Danny :

No, not for years.

Horace Derwent was the last one, confetti on his suit.

Said, "Great party, isn't it?"

Shit-eating grin on his face 

‘til I pulled out A Box for him.

That grin went fast. 

(CHUCKLES)


Hey, it never occurred to me to ask you back then.

What Happens to Them 

in those boxes?

Do They Die in There?


HALLORAN :

Do you care?


Danny :

I missed you.


HALLORAN :

Has it been a long time?

Can't Tell.

This World is A Dream 

of A Dream to Me now.


Danny :

Eight years. Little more.


HALLORAN :

Last time I saw You, 

You was at The Bottom.

You look better now.


Danny :

Why are you here?


HALLORAN :

I'm here because it all comes 'round.

Ka's A Wheel, Doc.

You Listen, Son.

It Hurts to be here, 

so I'll only say it once.


These empty devils ever 

found you when you was a tyke, 

if they'd even sniffed you, 

you'd be long dead.


They're on the land like 

a cancer on the skin.


Once, they rode camels in the desert.

Once, they drove caravans across Eastern Europe.


They Eat Screams

and Drink Pain

and They've noticed 

that little girl.


They might kill her

might turn her, 

or might keep her 

till she's all used up

and that'd be worst of all.


You can't let 'em.


Danny :

Why me?


HALLORAN :

Because she found you.

Because she showed up

Hell, Doc, why me?


You just walked on in

to My Kitchen one day, 

and I'm still on the hook. 

(CHUCKLES)


Danny :

What the hell am I supposed to do?


HALLORAN :

Get her what she asked for.


You won't see me again, Doc.

This is My Last Dream.

It seems to Me,

You Grew up Fine, Son —

but You still owe A Debt.


Pay it.
