I Will Walk Like A Crazy Horse

And now the latest news
for our deaf-mute friends.

Another black tide
is ravaging our coast.

Efforts are
under way to save

the birds which
would otherwise die.

They are being treated
in special hospitals.

Since the beginning
of the week

intensive bombing
has caused heavy destruction

and killed
hundreds of civilians.

Cosmonauts have been
launched into space

to set up a new
interplanetary station.



The progress of science
never ceases to amaze us.

The drought...

The disastrous drought this year
has caused a spectacular famine.

But the recent
discoveries of medicine

will assist
the unfortunate victims

of this terrible calamity.

Thanks to a monkey,
Dr. Terran has discovered

that dreams
strengthen the memory.

Police Inspector Gay
is investigating

the death of Mrs. Rey.
Her jewels were stolen.

The dead woman's son,
Aden Rey,

has mysteriously
disappeared.

My son, you will
suffer much pain.

My son, you are
the baby Jesus.



The victim
and her son.

A recent picture
of Aden Rey.

Where could he be now?

She was a beautiful woman.

Upper middle-class home.

Better drop this case!

No, we must find
that boy.

Maybe he was killed too!

And what if
he killed her?

My son...

you must always
be very well dressed

and keep
your shoes shined.

That way, everyone
will respect you.

Come on,
don't worry.

Come on down,
I'm alone.

You are welcome here.

Want to share my meal?

Here, taste this,
it's good.

- Eat it.
- Thank you.

Is it good?

What is it?

I use rose petals
to wrap them in.

It's very good.

What's inside?

A mixture of flour--

and goat shit.

Have Interpol
send out a description.

We must find Aden Rey.

This is
Inspector Gay speaking.

Don't move!

What's this?

Look.
Funny, isn't it?

Relax...

Sleep well.

I'll split you
wide open.

I'll make you scream.
You'll beg me to forgive you.

You bitch!

You slut!
I'll make you sweat blood!

It's epilepsy.

Put a key
in his mouth

so he won't
bite his tongue.

Suspect spotted
in the desert.

It could be Aden Rey.

You live alone
in the desert?

Here? Yes.

Who brings
you food?

No one ever
comes here.

You're a king,
aren't you?

He's a king,
he's a king, you see.

What is
your home like?

My country?

It's huge, full of cities,
full of cars.

There are other
people with you?

Millions of people.

More people than grains
of sand here.

Fabulous!
Do you know them all?

No,
I don't know them all.

Too bad for them.

I'm going to give
this to the snake.

There are scorpions too.

You were thirsty,
weren't you, Jossida!

Marvel,
I am your sacred desert camel.

Ride me,
I'll take you to Babylon!

Giddup!
Go! Move! Whoa!

Stop!

Let's go!

Can you read?

What does
"read" mean?

I'll take you
to a big city.

I'll make you
very important.

No one will make fun of you.

Make fun of me?
Why?

No, I mean
that even women will love you.

They'll think
you're handsome anyway.

You will be happy.

Drink this.

Go on.

Thank you.

Aden Rey is very reserved,
he has no friends.

He never went to school.
His mother educated him.

Aden!

What is happiness?

Happiness?

Happiness is...

End barbarous heresy!

Viva the Western Christian world!
Viva Spain!

Fire!

Are you looking
at my nail?

Why is it so long?

I cut it only once a year,
in the autumn.

I wrap it in a little leaf.
I keep it in a sack.

Look.

Don't you do
the same thing?

You won't pull any tricks
and tell the police?

I am your friend.

Do you want me to cut off
a finger for you?

I think
I drank too much.

Tell me about
where you live.

Where do you come from?

- Where do I come from?
- Yes.

The civilized world--

is fantastic.

For ages and ages,
man has been storing knowledge

and enriching his mind

to attain the wonderful perfection
that life has become.

Everywhere,
there is happiness, joy...

tranquillity,
laughter and understanding.

Everything is devised
to simplify human existence

to make man happier

and to preserve peace.

Today,
in the civilized world

man is the happiest
creature on earth.

It's really strong.

It's not obvious,
but I'm slowly getting drunk.

Can I help you
in any way?

I wish
night would come.

You want night?

What's happening?

You wanted night.

I'm scared.

I think
I'm completely drunk.

Son of a bitch!

What's this thing?

What was he playing at?

What do you usually do
in the morning?

I was very happy, really.

My world has many things
that make life

an endless paradise.

Television, for example.

What is that?

Television

is a blind woman
that teaches philosophy

and caresses the foulest
recesses of our brains.

You are the trumpet call
of Jericho.

From your saliva comes
the light of felicity.

Come and say goodbye.
I'm going to Aden's land.

Goodbye, my friends.

Come on.

No, not you. Goodbye.

Fantastic!

Beautiful, aren't they?

Look, Marvel.

- This is for you.
- What's this?

What is this?

It's beautiful.

- Take everything I have.
- What is this?

- What is this for?
- We're going to have fun!

With money,
you can buy anything you want.

Health?

Love? Happiness?

Does it give
milk like goats?

Here,
Theresa, eat this!

So long, and don't
get lost in the desert.

Come on, Marvel!

- You want me to take the goat?
- Yes!

Come on, Theresa.

Get in.

Come on, Theresa.

Don't be scared.

- Are you glad?
- Yes.

Goodbye, scorpions, camels,
snakes, goodbye.

You are gathered
here together

men, women
and children,

united in purpose.

You are aware of your duties,
proud of your leaders

those few conscious,
well-organized technocrats

who decide for you.

You have
thronged here tonight

to applaud
the men who prepare

heaven on earth for you.

Those men today...

ask you to be conscious.

Tomorrow, our beef
will be rich with the proteins

that we need
to make men of your sons.

Tomorrow, computers
will serve the housewife

selecting diets

so that your sons will be
healthy descendants of your race.

Tomorrow,
color television

will be in each
and every home.

Widespread,
state-controlled television

will give everyone

the instruction needed

to make good citizens.

Tomorrow, antipollutant
bacteriological weapons

will insure lasting peace

and forever eliminate

those vile idealists

who praise the individual.

Any news of Rey?

You got here too late.

He just crossed
the border in a jeep.

Son of a bitch!

Look,
what are they doing?

They're smoking.

Nothing odd about that.

But they're choking.

So what,
that's natural.

You'll get
used to it.

It smells bad.

Some smoke cigars,
some smoke pipes.

They look
like babies sucking.

It's silly to go on,

we must drop the case.
It has cost enough time and money.

I am sure
Rey is back in Paris.

I want to continue
my investigation.

I assume
full responsibility.

Come on in,
gentlemen.

You have
every modern comfort

Iarge kitchen
and garbage disposal.

As you see,
it is furnished in very good taste

floor heating,
very high ceiling

fully soundproof
and plenty of light.

Here's the contract.

You sign and it's yours.

Well?

Do you like it?

Oh yes, very much.

But what is it for?

I chose
a luxury apartment...

especially for you.

Live here?

There's no soil.

Do you think
they'd say hello?

Would you look at that!
He drops soil everywhere!

And who has
to sweep it up? Me!

Tonight we'll go out.
You'll see lots of women.

They'll love you.

You'll fascinate them.

They've never seen anyone
as exceptional as you.

- What are they doing?
- Cutting down trees

to build a factory.

May I have your order?

Hurry up,
I have other people to serve.

Tea for me.

What do you want?

A cactus.

One cactus
for my friend.

I'll bring you
two cups of tea.

Drink it, you'll see,
tea is very good.

I'll take those two.

Look.

No, that's not
what it's for.

Recognize this guy?

You bet I do.
He just left.

He came in
with a moron.

He sat on the table
and ordered a cactus.

What are they doing?

I took him on my knees.

I gave him a good whack.
That ended it.

What are they eating?

One is having trout.

The other is eating
roast quail in a sauce.

Are they alive?

No,
they were killed first.

Oh! People kill them!

Bring me some water...

to put in here.

Today, I'll introduce you
to a wonderful woman.

Theresa, come here.

That's right.

Bee, bring me
a toothpick.

Thank you.

I don't understand
why bees

mountains and goats
all obey you.

Why?

I don't know.
Roaches, flies, animals all obey me.

Even mountains and clouds.

I don't know why.

Take all my money.

All of it.

And my jewelry too.

I'll do anything
to make you happy.

Do you love me?

Dale!

You recognized
my voice?

Yes.

Any time you like.

That's exactly
why I'm calling you.

Tonight you can meet
an extraordinary friend of mine.

Can you come
to my new apartment?

Okay,
see you tonight.

He's all
you think of.

Stop talking
about him.

He's a virgin.

He has never
had a woman.

He's a unique,
extraordinary person.

I want him
to discover love.

I want you
to make love to him

and get him to come.

You know I'm no prude
but I really think

he's revolting.

No, he isn't,
you've hardly seen him.

When you know him,
you'll see how wonderful he is.

I'll do anything
you ask me to

but not make love
to a nauseating dwarf.

Marvel!

Look!

Look at him!
Isn't he magnificent!

He mustn't touch me!

Come here,
Marvel, sit down.

Don't be nervous,
relax.

But he stinks!
It's horrible,

I won't stay
with him one second.

I'm going to leave.

You hurt his feelings.

You can beat me!

You can kill me!

But I'll never sleep
with that disgusting midget.

You floozie, you whore!

You know what you are,
you're a pimp.

How dare you, you slut!

Not a clue yet, eh?

Yes, one.

The body
was placed in a crypt.

And the oddest part is

that it was
Mrs. Rey's vault.

We must
systematically check out

everyone listed
in the victim's address book.

Go on,
go ahead, shoot it!

One less.

Hello, Inspector.

The new tenants
are a real headache.

In spite of
the warning notice

they have a garden
in their living-room.

So, naturally,
that attracts pigeons.

And look how
they dirty up the court.

It's full of droppings.

If we sue them,
they'll, of course, get a lawyer

who'll defend
them so he can play politics.

You know that
better than I do!

I'd like
to ask you a favor.

Let me see
the third-floor apartment.

The one
with the garden?

Did you find anything?

More than I hoped for.

Wait for me
at the caf?.

Where are you going?

I'm going...

to my mother's house.

See you later.

I told you so.
It's Aden Rey.

Give orders
for his arrest.

My son,
you are going insane.

Let me hold you
and comfort you.

Everyone hates you
for being handsome.

Look at the pictures
I took of you.

Come and sit
at my feet.

Well now,
how are you?

- All right?
- Yes.

You know,
I've got a circus

with lots of animals.

Animals?

And incredible things.

- Would you like to see them?
- Yes I would.

What are you making?

A bird.

- A bird?
- Yes.

Come and see
the Oklahoma Fair!

It's your first
and last chance!

Sensational!
Ladies and Gentlemen!

Come and see
the most incredible shows

the strangest sights
of the century!

The 440 pound Lady Mammoth
who has been weighed

all over the world!

The richest princes
of the Orient lust after her!

The Samurai
with the hand of iron!

With his little finger

he can split
a beam 8 inches thick

while wearing the smile
of the legendary Madam Butterfly!

The fabulous
athlete from the deep,

dark jungles!

The strongest
man in the world!

Ants that perform
on the trapeze!

Acrobats! Fire-eaters!

The circus world
in miniature!

And that's not all,
ladies and gentlemen!

Other quirks
and triumphs of nature!

An amazing creature

from a mysterious desert

heir to the ancestral
magic of Mesopotamia!

That creature is going
to dance for you!

Here he comes,
here he is!

Have a heart,
let me love you.

No one will love you
as much as I do.

Four, five.

He's a moron,
a retard.

He'll be terrific
with his dance.

What's his price?

He has no price,
he has never seen money.

He doesn't know
what it is.

He'll make a terrific act
for the season.

- And cheap too.
- I'll say, very cheap!

Don't you know
what painless birth is?

Breathe deep,
that's it!

Filthy whore!

Breathe deep,
like a bitch!

Fornication is all you know.
Breathe deep!

Remember yourself
on all fours with that pig!

Now you can't even bark.

Breathe deep, you bitch!

Breathe deep!

More, more!

Perfect specimen
of an earthman.

Where is Marvel?

He'll come back,
won't he?

How old can he be?

He's such a child.

He's a poet.

...2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

...53, 54, 55...

...120...

...121, 122...

...234, 235, 236, 237...

...600...

Stop, Marvel!

How old are you?

I don't know.
10,000 years...

...20,000, 30,000,
50,000 years, I don't know!

Anyone able
to give information

concerning murder suspect
Aden Rey

is requested
to contact the police.

Stop,
I want to see that.

That!
We haven't got time!

My brethren,
hear the message of the Messiah.

Crucified a thousand times
by your sins,

he came
for your redemption.

You killed him...

The lily of the fields

who came down among us
to share love.

He found nothing
but sordidness, treachery

and death.

He could have plunged
mankind into darkness...

Yet he preferred
to fall, fall...

in order
to redeem your sins.

From the bottom of my
bleeding heart, I tell you

that the holy spirit
is forsaking you.

You have sinned.

You have misunderstood
our Lord Jesus

with nails driven
into his hands,

whips cutting his back,

And that was not enough...

The crown of thorns
on his divine head,

his face covered with spit,
his body trampled...

And then...

crucified like a thief,

his side
pierced with a spear,

Ieft all alone.

Such was
the great suffering

of our dear Lord.

Blasphemy! Blasphemy!

Calling all police in the area!
Be on the alert!

Aden Rey
is driving a jeep.

It seems he stopped
at the church.

He's driving a jeep.

It seems he stopped
at the church.

Pay no attention
to her.

All women are whores.

They're all sluts,
I tell you.

Pay no attention.

Do you want
to marry me?

Right away.

Come.

We will be
the fire and water couple.

We will love
each other forever.

Oh! Yes!

The goat will
perform the wedding.

It's going
to the fish!

Talk with your feet.
I can translate, you know.

"In a sadness
of torn mists

I will walk like
a crazy horse.

While salmons glide

between our thighs,

I will walk like
a crazy horse."

Do you want
to see me naked?

You 're a man?

Don't wake him.

Tomorrow,

when you see him,

give him
this from me.

I don't want
any goodbyes.

All police
on the alert!

Rey's jeep located
under Luynes Bridge.

I repeat:
Rey's jeep located.

Eat your soup.

He won't eat.

Must I punish him?

Yes.

Put your hands
behind your back.

Murderer!

I'm not an animal.

At least kill me
with your own hands.

I want to feel your fingers
tight on my neck.

Watch my jugular
vein throb.

Kill me if you hate me,
but do it right.

Fake it as a suicide,
for your own sake.

You're so vulnerable,
you can't live alone.

Your life
is a failure

but what will you do
in prison without me?

Don't leave any clues

so you can
enjoy everything...

My jewels,

my bed, my house,

my perfume, my money.

Everything is for you.

Everything.

I have a weak heart.

If I'm frightened,
I'll die.

Promise
you'll never frighten me.

Do you love me?

Kiss me.

Dress up like a judge.

Judge me, Marvel.

Judge me.

Aden stands accused.
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.

The Law will be carried
out to the letter.

Does the accused
plead innocent

or guilty?

Guilty.

Let all the centuries
hear me!

I killed my mother
all by myself.

No one helped me.

He saw us.

He had a fit
of epilepsy.

What's more,
he injured his foot.

I have a weak heart.

If I'm frightened,
I'll die.

I killed my mother.

Do you love me?

Yes,

but the point
is my trial.

Kiss me.

If you want.

On the forehead?

Read the verdict!

What did she die of,
Doctor?

Heart failure.

Where is her son?

He hasn't been seen
since her death.

What is the verdict?

The accused is sentenced--

to death!

Your trial
was only a game.

I am here beside you.

Don't let yourself die.

I love you.

I am so lonely now,

with you dead.

Now,

who will take me
to Babylon on his back?

Who will I make
night and day for?

Who will make me a gift
of his dreams?

Who will be
my golden beetle?

And my angel of muck?

I want you to eat me...

to eat me.

I want you
to be both me and you.

You shall eat all of me,
Marvel, do you hear?

You shall dress up
like my mother...

Iike my mother,
don't forget...

With black stockings
and garters.

You shall be the hero,
the stream, the child...

the blue clouds
and the light.

Yes, Aden,
I will eat every bit of you.

Down to the last bone...
So as to commune with your essence.

I receive the body of your body
for the centuries of centuries.

And I will give birth
to you in pain.
