旅行终点 The End of the Tour Movie Script

LIPSKY:

You mind if I use your uh... Amused, David points the way to the bathroom.

DAVID:

I believe it’s unoccupied.

Lipsky goes, leaving the tape running.

39 INT. DAVID’S HOUSE/BATHROOM - 1996 - CONTINUOUS 39 Lipsky spits the tobacco into the sink. He cups his hands under the running water and rinses his mouth. He looks at himself in the mirror and takes a deep, fortifying breath.

He stealthily opens the medicine cabinet and finds it stocked with jars of vitamins, Stri-Dex pads and tubes of Topol, toothpaste for smokers. He jots down notes.

40 INT. DAVID’S HOUSE/LIVING ROOM/KITCHEN - 1996 - MOMENTS LATER40 Lipsky returns, looks around. David is playing with his dogs.

LIPSKY:

Do you not have a TV?

DAVID:

I do not have a TV.

LIPSKY:

How come?

DAVID:

‘Cause if I had a TV, I’d watch it all the time. I don’t even know if I would watch it; it would be on all the time - my version of a fireplace. A source of warmth and light in the corner that I would occasionally get sucked into.

LIPSKY:

Did you watch a lot of T.V. when you were a kid?

DAVID:

Yeah. A lot. You?

25.

LIPSKY:

Me? Yeah, I did. I moved in with a woman who grew up without a television, and living with her, the first month was torture, and then I realized it was probably the best thing for me.

DAVID:

Did you guys stay together?

LIPSKY:

It’s complicated.

DAVID:

Why?

LIPSKY:

I was seeing this woman, then she moved to L.A. and we theoretically broke up. And I started seeing this other woman, but then I started seeing the first woman again - trying the bicoastal thing - and the second... Well, let’s just say she hasn’t taken it very well.

DAVID:

It’s so much easier having dogs. You don’t get laid; but you also don’t get the feeling you’re hurting their feelings all the time. I emphasize: strictly platonic relationship with the dogs.

LIPSKY:

You’re not dating anyone?

DAVID:

Seriously dating? No. I’m out of practice; I wouldn’t know what to say.

LIPSKY:

You want to have kids?

DAVID:

Yeah, I think someday I do; do you?

LIPSKY:

Yeah. Eventually. I think.
