旅行终点 The End of the Tour Movie Script

DAVID:

(in an Elvis voice) I’m never leavin’ you again, I swear.

David looks around the carpet.

DAVID:

Sh*t Check.

(discovers some) Ah! Look what you did.

The dogs sheepishly watch David clean up their sh*t.

DAVID:

Happens to the best of us, eh, boy?

Never fails. Wait to do your thing after the dog-sitter leaves.

(to Lipsky) Be sure your Rolling Stone readers learn about that.

David prepares to put on some music. Tape recorder in hand, Lipsky approaches.

LIPSKY:

Uh. Hey. So, I’m leaving tomorrow and, I’ve got to ask you about this rumor...

DAVID:

Is this the heroin thing? The heroin thing again?

LIPSKY:

Yeah.

72.

DAVID:

It isn’t true. What is so hard for you to believe?

LIPSKY:

The reason it is so hard to believe is because there is so much about drugs and addiction in the book...

DAVID:

That doesn’t mean it’s autobiographical, the drug stuff in the book is basically a metaphor.

Look at you. You don’t f***ing believe a word I’m saying, do you.

LIPSKY:

I didn’t say that.

DAVID:

I was not, I never was a heroin addict.

LIPSKY:

Okay. The rumor I heard... was that in the late ‘80s, when you were at Harvard, you'd gotten involved with drugs and had some kind of breakdown...

DAVID:

I don't know if I had a breakdown, I got really really depressed. I told you that. It had nothing to do with drugs. I mean, I'm somebody who spent most of his life in libraries. I never lived that kind of dangerous life. I wouldn't even stick a needle into my arm.

LIPSKY:

Okay, so how do you think that rumor got started?

DAVID:

I have no idea! I have no idea.

LIPSKY:

Alright... Calm down... 73.

DAVID:

To tell you truly, if you structured this as some “and then he spiraled into some terrible addiction thing,” it would be inaccurate. It was more like, I got more and more unhappy. The more unhappy I would get, the more I would drink. There was no joy in the drinking. I used it for anesthesia.
