read the script?

44
At 00:04:45,125, Character said: No.
A little bit.

45
At 00:04:47,166, Character said: Just to check
the construction,

46
At 00:04:50,708, Character said: you know, of how the piece
was constructed.

47
At 00:04:54,375, Character said: I didn't read it
word for word.

48
At 00:04:56,333, Character said: Interviewer:
Do you feel weird
saying that stuff?

49

feel weird saying it.

50
At 00:05:01,166, Character said: I don't know
how long my voice
is gonna hold on, but...

51
At 00:05:04,708, Character said: ( raspily )
Doc, you gotta
help me, man.

52
At 00:05:07,250, Character said: My old lady's dumping me
'cause I can't talk.

53
At 00:05:11,542, Character said: She says I'm
a "social embarrassment."

54
At 00:05:15,542, Character said: Now that she's g***t
a PhD,

55
At 00:05:16,959, Character said: she's some hot-s***t
academic star

56
At 00:05:20,000, Character said: and I'm nothin'
but a file clerk.

57
At 00:05:22,875, Character said: You know,
me being a file clerk
was fine when I was signing

58
At 00:05:25,208, Character said: the d***n checks
for her tuition, man.

59
At 00:05:27,000, Character said: Harvey,
stop talking, please,
and open wide.

60
At 00:05:30,041, Character said: I started worrying
my voice would never
come back, you know?

61
At 00:05:33,041, Character said: Say "ah," Mr. Pekar.

62
At 00:05:34,750, Character said: - I mean, it's torture,
I'm telling ya.
- Shh.

63
At 00:05:37,250, Character said: Ah.

64
At 00:05:40,333, Character said: Ah-hh...

65
At 00:05:43,792, Character said: - Doctor: Mm-hmm.
- What?

66
At 00:05:47,917, Character said: Is it bad, Doc?

67
At 00:05:49,708, Character said: Not good.

68
At 00:05:52,208, Character said: It's cancer.

69
At 00:05:53,417, Character said: First I g***t
marital problems,

70
At 00:05:55,667, Character said: and now you're telling me
I g***t throat cancer?

71
At 00:05:57,708, Character said: For Christ's sake, man.

72
At 00:05:59,291, Character said: Harvey, calm down.
It's not cancer.

73
At 00:06:03,083, Character said: You have a nodule
on your vocal cords,

74
At 00:06:05,250, Character said: probably from screaming
and yelling so much.

75
At 00:06:07,083, Character said: And if you don't
give it a rest,

76
At 00:06:08,583, Character said: you're gonna lose
your voice completely.

77
At 00:06:10,834, Character said: Okay, okay.

78
At 00:06:13,333, Character said: But for how long?

79
At 00:06:15,750, Character said: A few months.

80
At 00:06:17,083, Character said: ( squeaks )
Months?!

81
At 00:06:18,959, Character said: Ugh-hh!

82
At 00:07:00,417, Character said: ( raspily )
Hey. Hey, come on,
what is this?

83
At 00:07:04,667, Character said: It's exactly
what it looks like.

84
At 00:07:07,583, Character said: What do you mean?
You mean you're
dumping me?

85
At 00:07:10,041, Character said: ( screeches )
For what?

86
At 00:07:15,542, Character said: Look, this
plebeian lifestyle

87
At 00:07:19,417, Character said: just isn't working
for me anymore, okay?

88
At 00:07:24,750, Character said: I gotta get out of here
before I kill myself.

89
At 00:07:31,750, Character said: ( wheezing )
Wait a minute.

90
At 00:07:35,000, Character said: ( faintly )
Just listen to what
I have to say, please.

91
At 00:07:38,458, Character said: ( coughs )

92
At 00:07:46,750, Character said: ( wheezes )
Don't go.

93
At 00:07:49,875, Character said: ( squeaking )
I need you, baby.
Please--

94
At 00:07:51,959, Character said: please
don't go, okay?
( squeaking )

95
At 00:08:15,583, Character said: Pekar:
Here's our man.

96
At 00:08:17,375, Character said: Yeah, all right.
Here's me--

97
At 00:08:20,041, Character said: or the guy
playing me, anyway,

98
At 00:08:22,250, Character said: though he don't look
nothin' like me,
but whatever.

99
At 00:08:25,166, Character said: So it's a few
months later

100
At 00:08:27,083, Character said: and I'm workin'
my flunky, file-clerk gig

101
At 00:08:29,917, Character said: at the VA hospital.

102
At 00:08:31,625, Character said: My voice still
ain't back yet.

103
At 00:08:34,583, Character said: Thank you,
Harvey, dear.

104
At 00:08:36,417, Character said: Things seem like
they can't get
any worse.

105
At 00:08:39,250, Character said: ( raspily )
"Plebeian"?

106
At 00:08:42,583, Character said: Where the hell did she
get that s***t, man?

107
At 00:08:49,417, Character said: ( sighs )

108
At 00:08:56,041, Character said: Man:
"Avoid the reeking herd.

109
At 00:08:59,834, Character said: Shun the polluted flock.

110
At 00:09:01,792, Character said: Live like
that stoic bird,

111
At 00:09:04,083, Character said: the eagle
of the rock."

112
At 00:09:06,125, Character said: Hey, Mr. Boats.

113
At 00:09:08,166, Character said: You know what
that means, son?

114
At 00:09:10,083, Character said: Yup, it's from
an Elinor Hoyt Wylie poem.

115
At 00:09:14,542, Character said: It means-- excuse me.
It means stay away

116
At 00:09:19,375, Character said: from the crowds
of common, ordinary people

117
At 00:09:21,667, Character said: and do
your own thing.

118
At 00:09:24,417, Character said: No, it means
don't compromise
yourself for women.

119
At 00:09:28,917, Character said: Ain't gonna do you
no good.

120
At 00:09:30,625, Character said: Get away from 'em
as soon as you can.

121
At 00:09:32,959, Character said: Yup, well, I ain't g***t
no woman now,

122
At 00:09:35,291, Character said: so I'm livin' like
"the stoic bird," man.

123
At 00:09:38,792, Character said: It's the only way
to live, son.

124
At 00:09:41,708, Character said: - ( music in headset )
- Harvey: Yeah, man.

125
At 00:09:44,708, Character said: Mr. Boats:
Look at that fool there.

126
At 00:09:46,375, Character said: Probably listening
to that loud rock stuff.

127
At 00:09:49,000, Character said: Junk. Junk.
It's all junk.

128
At 00:09:51,875, Character said: I don't know.
You know, I mean...

129
At 00:09:54,125, Character said: rock music's g***t
some good qualities.

130
At 00:09:57,000, Character said: It isn't jazz
or nothin', but,
you know.

131
At 00:10:01,333, Character said: Say, when you gonna
bring me in

132
At 00:10:03,667, Character said: some of those
good records?

133
At 00:10:05,542, Character said: Some Nat King Cole
with strings?

134
At 00:10:08,166, Character said: I don't g***t any
of that, Mr. Boats.

135
At 00:10:10,041, Character said: Yeah, you g***t that.
You keep 'em
at home, though.

136
At 00:10:13,500, Character said: You won't turn loose
the good stuff,

137
At 00:10:15,166, Character said: you just sell
the junk.

138
At 00:10:19,834, Character said: - You know, I... I just--
- ( jazz music playing )

139
At 00:10:21,875, Character said: I, you know, keep the stuff
I want to keep.

140
At 00:10:24,500, Character said: I don't-- I sold a lot
of good material

141
At 00:10:27,875, Character said: by people
that he didn't like.

142
At 00:10:32,542, Character said: And Mr. Boats,
he didn't like any blues

143
At 00:10:35,041, Character said: or anything like that.

144
At 00:10:37,041, Character said: And he played
classical violin.

145
At 00:10:43,208, Character said: I started
record collecting

146
At 00:10:45,041, Character said: when I was 15
or 16 years old.

147
At 00:10:48,208, Character said: I started getting
interested in jazz.
