4
At 00:07:52,598, Character said: Shoot it!

5
At 00:07:54,350, Character said: Shoot down everything
you can't stand.

6
At 00:08:06,863, Character said: Talking to yourself...

7
At 00:08:10,992, Character said: Actually, it's more like
listening than talking.

8
At 00:08:41,856, Character said: I've never heard that to the end!

9
At 00:16:29,823, Character said: FLIGHT CONTROLLERS ON STRIKE

10
At 00:17:07,027, Character said: I'm not finished yet.

11
At 00:17:10,698, Character said: I took a lot
of pictures and notes.

12
At 00:17:14,326, Character said: I've g***t enough material.

13
At 00:17:16,245, Character said: You weren't supposed to take pictures.
You were supposed to write a story.

14
At 00:17:21,542, Character said: Yes, I know.

15
At 00:17:24,545, Character said: But the story
is about things you can see.

16
At 00:17:28,006, Character said: About images and signs.

17
At 00:17:30,008, Character said: You've been on the road
for four weeks now,

18
At 00:17:32,803, Character said: and all you've g***t
is a bunch of pictures.

19
At 00:17:35,931, Character said: You were supposed
to write something.

20
At 00:17:38,016, Character said: I could have gotten pictures
somewhere else.

21
At 00:17:40,477, Character said: You were supposed to write
about the American landscape.

22
At 00:17:44,231, Character said: I've already gotten three telexes
from the publisher in Munich,

23
At 00:17:47,484, Character said: and I look like an idiot.
So what do I do now?

24
At 00:17:50,738, Character said: I'm not done yet. That's all.

25
At 00:17:56,785, Character said: When you drive around America,
something happens to you.

26
At 00:18:00,748, Character said: The images you see change you.

27
At 00:18:03,250, Character said: And the reason
I took so many photos...

28
At 00:18:08,213, Character said: is part of the story.

29
At 00:18:10,632, Character said: I can't explain it now.

30
At 00:18:12,843, Character said: Tell that to the publisher.

31
At 00:18:15,012, Character said: You won't meet the deadline.
That's all I can say.

32
At 00:18:20,350, Character said: I'll finish the story in Germany.
I fly to Munich today.

33
At 00:18:23,854, Character said: Do you have money
for the ticket?

34
At 00:18:27,024, Character said: Just enough for the ticket.

35
At 00:18:31,779, Character said: But I meant to ask you
for an advance.

36
At 00:18:34,823, Character said: My dear friend...

37
At 00:18:36,533, Character said: you won't get
a penny from me.

38
At 00:18:42,080, Character said: And take your picture
postcards with you.

39
At 00:18:51,965, Character said: I'll tell the publisher
you're coming back to Munich

40
At 00:18:55,010, Character said: and that I've g***t nothing
to do with this anymore.

41
At 00:20:17,217, Character said: Because of the
flight controllers' strike.

42
At 00:20:19,636, Character said: I read about it but didn't realize
there were no flights to Germany.

43
At 00:20:23,098, Character said: But I must fly back today!

44
At 00:20:25,225, Character said: She just suggested
a flight to Amsterdam.

45
At 00:20:27,978, Character said: Of all places!
I was in Amsterdam long enough.

46
At 00:20:32,107, Character said: That's the only way.

47
At 00:20:35,402, Character said: Can you ask when the next flight
to Amsterdam is today?

48
At 00:20:46,747, Character said: Tomorrow afternoon.

49
At 00:20:54,880, Character said: We can't go till tomorrow,
and only to Amsterdam.

50
At 00:20:58,133, Character said: We haven't been there
in a long time.

51
At 00:21:02,304, Character said: Are you from Holland?

52
At 00:21:04,932, Character said: We lived there.

53
At 00:21:07,392, Character said: Could you book
the flight for me?

54
At 00:21:09,603, Character said: My English is so bad.

55
At 00:21:30,791, Character said: Your first name.

56
At 00:21:33,126, Character said: Lisa and Alice.

57
At 00:21:50,644, Character said: Would you wait with us?

58
At 00:21:52,813, Character said: Otherwise
I don't know how I'll stand it.

59
At 00:21:58,235, Character said: I can do that,
but I'm not very entertaining.

60
At 00:22:02,614, Character said: You could be mute for all I care.

61
At 00:22:17,546, Character said: What does he want from us?

62
At 00:22:19,923, Character said: Why?

63
At 00:22:21,466, Character said: What do you have against him?
He's quite nice.

64
At 00:22:25,095, Character said: I don't have anything against him.
But what does he want?

65
At 00:22:28,640, Character said: He just helped us at the flight desk.

66
At 00:22:30,976, Character said: You could be a little nicer.

67
At 00:22:33,020, Character said: If you spoke English,
everything would be different.

68
At 00:22:54,833, Character said: That was quick.

69
At 00:23:02,466, Character said: - Nobody home.
- Who wasn't home?

70
At 00:23:08,889, Character said: - Have you decided?
- No hamburgers!

71
At 00:23:13,060, Character said: - What do you want, then?
- A hot dog.

72
At 00:23:32,079, Character said: I hope the hotel isn't too expensive.

73
At 00:23:34,706, Character said: No, I used to stay there myself.

74
At 00:23:39,753, Character said: Why are you
in such a hurry to leave?

75
At 00:23:42,714, Character said: I want to get back to Germany.

76
At 00:23:47,385, Character said: I just broke up with a man.

77
At 00:23:49,763, Character said: But I can't speak about it now.

78
At 00:24:00,941, Character said: - See you tomorrow at the airport.
- Don't you want to have breakfast with us?

79
At 00:24:05,278, Character said: I'll call you tomorrow morning
here at the hotel.

80
At 00:24:07,906, Character said: Sure?

81
At 00:24:29,344, Character said: I called a few times.

82
At 00:24:35,142, Character said: Aren't you well?

83
At 00:24:40,438, Character said: No.

84
At 00:25:03,795, Character said: I g***t completely lost.

85
At 00:25:06,173, Character said: It was a horrible journey.

86
At 00:25:12,137, Character said: Once you leave New York City,
nothing changes anymore.

87
At 00:25:16,057, Character said: It all looks the same.

88
At 00:25:17,851, Character said: You can't imagine anything anymore.

89
At 00:25:19,811, Character said: Above all,
you can't imagine any change.

90
At 00:25:23,690, Character said: I became estranged from myself.

91
At 00:25:26,193, Character said: All I could imagine
was going on and on like this forever.

92
At 00:25:33,867, Character said: Some nights, I was sure
I would go back the next morning.

93
At 00:25:40,749, Character said: But then I'd keep on driving...

94
At 00:25:45,962, Character said: listening to that vulgar radio,

95
At 00:25:49,299, Character said: and every night in a motel

96
At 00:25:51,635, Character said: that looked just like
all the others before.

97
At 00:25:55,222, Character said: I'd watch that barbarous television.

98
At 00:25:58,892, Character said: I didn't know what hit me.

99
At 00:26:02,604, Character said: You haven't known that
for a long time now.

100
At 00:26:06,191, Character said: You don't have to travel
across America for that.

101
At 00:26:12,072, Character said: That happens when you lose
all sense of your own self.

102
At 00:26:18,411, Character said: And you lost that long ago.

103
At 00:26:22,707, Character said: That's why you always need proof,

104
At 00:26:25,126, Character said: proof you still exist.

105
At 00:26:28,421, Character said: Your stories and your experiences ‒

106
At 00:26:31,925, Character said: you treat them like raw eggs.

107
At 00:26:35,220, Character said: As if you were the only one
to experience things.

108
At 00:26:39,140, Character said: And that's why
you keep taking pictures.

109
At 00:26:41,935, Character said: They're something
you can hold on to,

110
At 00:26:44,479, Character said: more evidence that it was you
who saw these things.

111
At 00:26:54,155, Character said: And that's why you came here.

112
At 00:26:58,827, Character said: To have someone listen to you,

113
At 00:27:01,746, Character said: to you and your stories
that you're only telling to yourself.

114
At 00:27:06,459, Character said: But that's not enough
in the long run, my dear.

115
At 00:27:09,379, Character said: That's right.

116
At 00:27:11,589, Character said: Taking pictures
is a way of proving things.

117
At 00:27:18,763, Character said: Waiting for the image to develop,

118
At 00:27:22,350, Character said: I was often filled
with a strange unease.

119
At 00:27:25,520, Character said: I could hardly wait
to compare the picture with reality.

120
At 00:27:30,442, Character said: But comparing them
wouldn't reassure me either.

121
At 00:27:33,653, Character said: As the still images
were always overtaken by reality...

122
At 00:27:36,698, Character said: You can't stay here!

123
At 00:27:39,784, Character said: ...I photographed
even more obsessively.

124
At 00:27:43,538, Character said: - You're really beside yourself!
- That's why I only took Polaroids...

125
At 00:27:48,668, Character said: I don't want you to stay here,
understand?

126
At 00:27:52,255, Character said: What?

127
At 00:27:56,343, Character said: Are you serious?

128
At 00:28:00,347, Character said: Yes, my friend.

129
At 00:28:04,684, Character said: I can't help you.

130
At 00:28:08,897, Character said: Though I'd like to comfort you.

131
At 00:28:13,193, Character said: I don't understand.

132
At 00:28:17,030, Character said: I don't know how to live either.

133
At 00:28:19,866, Character said: Nobody has shown me either.

134
At 00:28:30,752, Character said: In this city...

135
At 00:28:33,713, Character said: when you reach an intersection...

136
At 00:28:36,841, Character said: it's like...

137
At 00:28:44,140, Character said: entering a clearing in the woods.

138
At 00:29:59,424, Character said: I have to get a room
here at the hotel too.

139
At 00:30:02,385, Character said: - Have a look!
- My friend...

140
At 00:30:13,646, Character said: I'll bet you
I can blow it out from here.

141
At 00:30:16,649, Character said: Never!

142
At 00:30:18,067, Character said: Watch.

143
At 00:30:31,498, Character said: Show me your watch.

144...
