Who Are You, Polly Maggoo? (1966) - full transcript

This excoriating satire of the fashion industry follows 20-year-old Brooklyn-born fashion model Polly Maggoo in Paris, on the runway at the big shows where magazine editor Ms. Maxwell is the reigning opinion maker and the ridiculous passes for sublime. Polly becomes the subject of an episode of vapid TV news-documentary series "Qui ĂȘtes-vous?" and is pursued by the filmmaker and by the prince of Borodine, a small country in the Soviet bloc. We watch as the documentary is shot, we await Polly's arrival in the principality, we observe a lunch in the suburbs, and we learn of her childhood. Is there more to Polly than her pretty face? Is anything below the surface?

WHO R U?

Get ready... Go!

When everyone's excited
with the beta test,

the supervisor says he leaving...

He has a family, you know...

Where's he going?



The big company he used to work for.
Guess they want him back

You talk to him, I can't

A company with no money,
no wages and no supervisor...

Everything's falling apart

I'd love to smell some money!

Hey... it took us 2 years.
It's about time we get a sniff!

I'm gonna be a strong male,

devouring all the small men!

And battle the strong till victory!

We're gonna make it!

We're gonna make it!

Everyday, I run to the 30th floor

Should I try the 63rd floor?

Habits grow on you...
My muscles feel stiff without this

I'm going to study abroad - Hojin

You can't send him like this?

You're one tough bitch...

You think you're Rocky?
Or the bionic woman?

You thrive on torturing yourself, huh?
You masochistic claustrophobic...

Can't you treat your hair better?

You're always changing its color

Gotta go!

Hey, I have something to confess!

What?

See you later!
I'm off on my tour round!

ID: Sad Cat (25)

I picked my partner by his ID

It's the same as my ex-boyfriend's

A killer if it were the same guy...

The Internet population's 10 million

It's statistically impossible

I gave him that ID you know

What if...

it really is him?

We're getting more applicants

But, we need more catching interviews

To increase impact of our ad campaign

We need you for our launching ad.
No one's better than you!

But sir...

WHO R U bulletin board

Are you opening site
with such crude Avatars?

More upgrades are coming soon

Byulee's profile:
Suh Injoo(23), female

Why you young chick...

Don't you dare anger the master

63 Sea World?

Address: 63 Sea World

I'm worried about Tori.
It's affecting the show

His eyesight is getting worse

Tori...

It bothers you, huh?

Not being able to see...

The last romantist of the century
- Mello

You have received a name card

Hey!

Awe shit...

I am the knife.
Don't ask, I can stab you. - Byulee

Hey, interesting

This one's a stabber

Unbelievable!

Byulee?

Please shut close,
you stupid old car...!

That's what you get
for 2 million Won

Leaving for the interview?

Give me a break!

Got the hots for the stabber?

Give it back!

Feed my motorcycle.
Then I'll give it back. See ya!

63 Aquarium

Will this work?

Aqua's Russian bikini dancers
put on great shows

Our problem's the lead belt...

My tail!

Why do we have to work so hard?

Are you okay?

This way please

Excuse me,
but is there a Byulee here?

Suh Inju...

OK, thanks for the interview

Excuse me...

You were the mermaid... right?

You were fantastic!

Racy stuff like that on the Internet,
and we have a hit

If you need anything videotaped,
I'm on the 30th floor

I need some reaction here...

Come on, just this one time!

Well it's a so long, farewell to you

Do you pay for the interview?

Forget the money,
are you good with the camera?

We'll tape it and show it upstairs

Let's do it!

She must get out! This is insane!

Inju, get out!

Inju!

Wake up!

Jesus, I don't believe this!

Will she be okay?

She's coughing water out!

She's okay!

Hey, pull her up!

She's awake! Inju's awake!

Did you see? I was good, right?

- Did you get it on tape?
- Yes, I have! The whole thing!

You have 0 mail

I hope you return as a great coach

During a mermaid show today,

I almost drowned

But, I'm going to succeed

Then I can be proud of my work

You know I become stronger
when I have a goal

Good luck to us both!

Found each other?
Then begin the date

I don't believe such love games

are realistic
if they're on the Internet

But...

You don't like her, do you?

No

- See you later
- Later, sir

Hand her over to me

Really?

Then use my ID. And my item

That was easy

Attention!

We're similar to Toon Render.
But, this has too much reality. See?

Rodeo St. Apkujong

Hi

Hi!

We're headed for Bali!

Go, go, let's go!

Quite a fighter

Mission, don't stop!

What do you do?

Music!

I love drummers!

I'm a drummer!

My fans are all over me all the time

My fingers are busy 24 hours,
7 days a week

Go, you rocker...

So friend,

what about you?

Organized crime

For us, physical fitness is crucial

We run up the mountain everyday.
249 m above sea level

What's your position?

Knives!

I work with knives

Upset with someone?
I'll give you a cheap price...

Bye!

The things I do to keep a partner...

Daily upgrades

The Mermaid show

Who R U friend list: Mello

All work calls for play.
Log in tonight, 10 pm. OK?

Couple game

Truth or dare

Go back in time with a pill

Which time is your wish?

Like always, yesterday

3 years ago

Dumped by

your boyfriend?

I was reborn that day

So, you're 3 years old?

Then here's some facts of life
from big brother

The world's full of obstacles...

Big bro!

Relate your first love wounds

What dude turned you back to three?

You first

At first, we listened to this music

everyday

Everyday? And?

As time passed,

she became agitated with this ritual

She got mad at everything I liked

One day, she just said sorry, and left

Women never explain
why they're leaving you

You poor rocker...

Now watch me

Now opens the gates of truth...

Tell me about that day, 3 years ago

It was the day
I parted with everything

The day, my boyfriend told me
he was sorry

Don't you think 'sorry'

is such a cowardly word?

And how I hate the embarrassed look...

Men often wear that look on their faces

Like this guy I met a few days ago

And who's this guy?

Some game master

Like my ex did 3 years ago,

he kept asking me if I was OK

What a moron...

They have the same eyes

Titicaca

The Titicaca...

The highest navigable lake in the world

It'll be like swimming
in the highest waters of the world

I'm going there someday!

TEST D AY 20

You seem to be in great shape

Thank you for the tape

I guess you don't need a diet

Guess so

You don't exercise, do you?

I bet I can take you in one blow

D-day! I'm excited!
- Boyoung

Hip hip hurray!
- Claustrophobic girl

For the longest time, all alone

Never ending loneliness,
I could not bear

Endless nights, all alone

Living in confusion,
I'm so worn out

Now I want to fall in love

I want love

Now I want to fall in love

Curls should be this wavy

I love your style

News flash
about our last club chair!

He used us for business exposure

So what? Since we have a new chair.
Let's make a fresh new start

A word from the new chair

I'll do my best!

And, first of all,
in order to be clear about everything,

I want to announce my partner!

Porno Queen...

Thanks for everything

Your support for honesty and courage,

I thank you for that

Oasis...

I officially announce you
as my partner!

Look, she's blushing!

Congratulations!

Call me in 3 min.
Call! Me! - Boyoung

Gather for a group picture

Inju?

I can't hear you!

What? The hospital?

Hospital?

What're you talking about?

What? The ER?

ER?

My friend's in the hospital...

She's been injured!

I want to fall in love!

Is it true the company's moving...
and the supervisor's leaving?

The company's moving
after the beta test

After the move,

we'll do some PR work
with what's left

Upgrade the server
and cash will fall into our laps

But back payments are piling.
We might have to take action

How long have you been here?

Namhoon and I've spent
2 years on this game, 2 years

You think we're a hot shot company?

Forget your wages and start focusing
on product upgrades

You all want to hit it big, right?

Just be patient

2 months, and you'll know
if the game's a success

Part-time work
is permitted until then. OK?

Awe, shit! I can't believe this!

Three things...

a man cannot tell his mother

No. 1, I killed someone

No. 2, I love men!

And guess what No. 3 is?

Mom, I got a motorcycle!

You borrowed money from your mom

She took the bike
in exchange for money you owe her

I'll get you a new bike
when I get rich

How many hours
do we work each day?

I can't tell
when work begins and ends

You'll never get food or money
sitting behind a computer

Why leave a well-paid job for this?

Crazy bastard...

Don't you regret it?

Well I don't, asshole.
Let's get a drink

Yesterday, we were chatting all night

The bastard...

I'm nervous

About what?

My future,

my love life,

my integrity!

Everything...

What?

That Internet magazine wants you?
Project Supervisor?

Nice...

When do they want you to start?

You know I developed
'Bizarre Japanese'

I guess they read it in the papers

You think I should go?

To the top, I'm on my way

The streetlights are bright

I am walking through the lights...
No, I'm actually running

But...
wasn't the top right up there?

These days...

the lights have been going off
one by one

Here and there, at great speed

Karaoke bar!

Let's go to the Karaoke bar!

No! You go to your magazine, asshole!

If you were to leave, I who remain

Will spend endless nights,
shedding tears

You would trust me,
you would feel sorry for me

But I'll be OK
Don't feel sorry for me

I'll be OK

I'll be OK

Don't think you're my everything

I may look fragile and immature

But I'll be OK
I will not fall

Go back your way

I don't want the love you give

As beautiful as you are,
as fresh as you look

If it cannot be eternal then,
so be it

I'll be OK

Namhoon, you'll be OK, you asshole!

We'll be OK!

You'll be OK!

I want to love someone now

I want to love someone

Whoever it may be, forever

I want to love someone

I want to fall in love!

It's our first snow!

Have a good life, you bastard...

Have a great life with your new master!

You broke up?

You too, Boyoung?

A phone! I'm going to settle this!

What are you going to say?

Am I that ugly?

Tree!

You...

Ma'am!

I'm short of 200 Won...

What's wrong with you?

It's not the end of the world!

Is it?

Stop crying!

Look! Some people
are being taken to the hospital!

We're standing on our feet!

I hate when women cry!

Stop crying I say!

Hey! Don't you ever cry?

When you feel like shit?

I was once taken to the hospital in one

A friend next to me shouted,

"We're on our feet, we're OK."

But were they really?

Be careful friend,
life is full of accidents

The server's down!

Your eardrums will explode

Aren't you going to sleep?

So now you're giving her the sea?

Such endless gestures to impress her,

are just a series of lies...

OK, I'm a bastard!

So sue me

Titicaca?

Know the word, 'invisible friend? '

A friend you can never see or call.
These are the rules

But you must always be nearby,

for moral support

When you feel like being true
to someone,

when you have to let it all out,

seek that invisible friend

I'll always be nearby

Didn't you lose a toenail?

It's OK...

Know what bothered me most
when I quit swimming?

The will to win

Fretting over every 0.01 seconds...

Life's not like that though...

It's not about winning

You...

can't wear your hearing aid
in the aquarium

I know you feel bad for us

That's why you're working so hard

Yeah

The feeling of being a liability...

makes me want to hit big

This is big enough

They saw the video but,

turned it down for a new project

I guess I'm not mermaid material

Try working less,
and take care of yourself

Need to let it all out?
Seek your invisible friend

Shasha!

You go ahead

Where are you going?

Good to see you

Right! Aren't you going to apologize?

It still hurts!

I was right, wasn't I?

It took just one blow

So, what are you doing alone?

Caught in your thoughts?

Something on your mind?

If you do,
you can tell your big brother

Are you having fun?

Do you find the world a happy place?

You seem quite edgy today

I'm just being serious

How about a midnight drive?

The Han River is magnificent at night

Come on, get up!

We'll speed like the computer game,
'Crazy Drive! '

Why are you shouting like that?

Chungdam Bridge

Do you know how wide it is?

27 meters,
running 1.2 kilometers in length
