- [Charmian] Right.
(hooves clopping)
Dear friends, I am not
very good at goodbyes,
so we snuck out on the ferry.
I just want to let
you all know that
I've had some of the best years
of my life on this island.
(horse neighs)
And when we came here, it
was all we had dreamed of.
And along the way, our,
our little world here has,
has been home,
adventure, chaos, and peace.
(gentle music)
It's been, it's been
hell in paradise.
(horse whickers)
(wings flapping)
I think at one point, you
wake up, you look around you
and you find yourself a
stranger in your own world.
And even in your own life.
You can't remember
the dream anymore.
(ferry horn blaring)
That's when you realise
it's time to move on.
I will wake up mornings and
think about this island,
about its people.
And I will miss them
and the dreams that
we left behind here.
Take care.
Yours, Charmian Clift.

(Leonard exhales sharply)
I know Hammond and
Columbia are signing you.
(tenant vocalising)
- What? (laughs)
How do you know that? (chuckles)
How do you know?

his daughter's best friend,
so, yeah.

Stanley?

This one's for you.
Come over to the window,

it's good, let's, uh,
let's listen to it.
(reel clicks)
(reel whirring)
Come on, Marianne ♪
What's wrong with it, man?
- What do you mean?
- You say, "Look out, Dylan,"
when it's, when
it's pretty good.
And then when you say, "Good,"
it means it must be really,
really tough to, to listen to.
(reel clicks)
- No, it's actually
great, Leonard.
It's, uh, it's just the lyrics.
- Oh, man, I thought the lyrics
were the only thing I could do.
- "Come on, Marianne,"
Frankie Valli and
the Four Seasons,
they just released a
"Come on, Marianne."
You, you might need
to finesse that lyric.
Just help me out a bit there,
I can make this song a hit.

So long, Marianne ♪
It's time that we began ♪
(gentle music)
- It's a good album, Leonard.
You shouldn't let a few
bad reviews get to you.
- A lot of bad reviews.
You know, they're putting
me in this intellectual bag
that I, that I don't belong in.
This is my version of
trying to write songs
for the car radio.
- You wanna be a pop star?
- This is like, it, it's a
bad thing, I love pop stars,
I want to write pop songs,
and I like the money.
It's very sad.
- What's sad?
- That moneys had this
sinister, magical effect on me.
I've completely, uh, fallen
into it like a black hole.
You know?
I really, I think I'll
go back to writing now,
writing novels no one reads
or likes, except for this guy.
(friend laughs)
- Come on, you're not finished.
You've barely begun.
(Leonard sighs)
Maybe you should try
another producer
for the next album.
- You're hired.
(customers chattering)
(footsteps plodding)

David, how's it
sounding out there?
'Cause I can't
tell, man, 'cause I,
I don't know if you're
listening to me or not.
- You're all good.
- All right, is there anything
I should do, you know?
- I like the song.
- Okay. Is that the
end of the sentence?
- Look, I need to be
honest with you here,
I think those who like you are
more into your lyrics, man.
So (spits)
I was gonna suggest, why
don't you recite the lyrics
instead of singing them?
- Well, you know, I've
tried that, man, before.
It's, uh, you know, I'm
trying something else.
- Up to you, man. Your call.
- Terrific.
Ah, terrific. Thanks a
lot, I appreciate it.
Forgive me, man.
Forgive me, I'm sorry, really,
(gentle music)
I'm sorry.
I remember you well ♪
In the Chelsea Hotel ♪
- Good night?
You were talking so
brave and so sweet ♪
(gate rattling)
- Oh, oh! Wait a minute.
Giving me head
on the unmade bed ♪
What floor, ma'am?
- Do you know what floor
Kris Kristofferson is on?
- Do you know Kris
Kristofferson?
- Nope.
- Oh, well, then you're
in luck, darling.
I am Kris Kristofferson.
We were running for

- [Charmian] Darling,
I'm sorry about this.
I can't stand being hated.
And you hated me so much today.
I'm opting out,
and you can play in any
way you wish from now on.
I am sure you will
have a most successful
and distinguished career.
(siren wailing)
(thunder rumbling)
- I went ashore, I
had $500 in my pocket.
Every opportunity, the
world was my oyster.
But that was when
I drowned on land.
Went home safe. (chuckles)
- It's true.
- Many a true word has passed
through these false
teeth. (laughs)
(coughs) I know that look.
You just set sail for somewhere
you think is paradise.
(thunder rumbling)
And along the way, your
boat takes on water.
Somewhere around there,
you lose your map.
(customer chattering)
- Mm.
(thunder rumbling)
(rain pattering)
Darling Marianne Cohen, the
radio says it's morning,
but the windows don't
connect to the sky here,
so I'm never sure.
I'm worrying that you're lonely.
Sometimes I stop and feel
you're wanting things
I haven't given you.
(customers chattering)
Marianne, isn't it
curious and warm
to grow old in
each other's lives?
I think I need you
now more than ever.
(gentle music)
Kisses, Leonard.
(seagulls squawking)
(Axel speaks Norwegian)
(Marianne speaks Norwegian)
(Marianne laughing)
(Marianne screams)
- Oh.
Oh, okay.
(ferry crew chattering)
(lips smacking)
All right.
Okay, all right.
(exhales sharply)
- [Marianne] Look
who's here. (laughs)
Welcome back.
(Marianne speaks Norwegian)
(Marianne chuckles)
(waves crashing)
- (chuckles) Oh.
(Leonard screams)
(Axel laughs)
(water burbling)
(water splashing)
(water burbling)
(gentle music continues)
(Marianne and Leonard moaning)
- Love you.
- Good, (breathes heavily)
because I'm, I'm very
in love with you,
(both chuckle)
my dear, dear, perfect friend.
My Nordic angel.
(Marianne laughs)
(lips smacking)
(Leonard sniffs and
exhales sharply)
- What happened to the album?
- I don't know.
You know, the first one
didn't do very well.
It's not very good at all.
I, I'm thrilled to be honest,
I like saving people money
and saving people time.
- What will you do now?
- (sniffs) I don't
know, I, like,
I, I, I'm, I think I'm going
to throw myself into the book,
have a lot of ideas
jamming in my brain,
and, you know, I'm excited to
hammer them away at the paper.
It'll be a joyful massacre.
(Marianne chuckles)
(Leonard breathes heavily)
A, uh, a man's resignation
to his true calling,
his only calling.
- You know,
people are losing
each other and, uh,
it's getting empty here.
Can we promise not to
lose each other again?
Please?
- No, I promise, I
promise. Don't go away.
(Marianne chuckles)
(gentle music)
- Really? Mm.
- Yeah.
(Leonard breathes heavily)
(Axel laughing)
La, la, la, la ♪
- Then pull.
La ♪
(Leonard speaks faintly)
La, la, la, la ♪
- You look handsome.
(Marianne groans)
(artist vocalising)
(Marianne chuckles)
- Hi. Hi, hi, hi.
- (laughs) Hi.
- [Axel] Hi, hi, hi.
- Did you guys make this?
- Yeah, we set it up.
(Axel speaks Norwegian)
(Marianne speaks Norwegian)
- New people at
the grocery store?
- Yeah, they're from, uh,
they're from the mainland.
- Uh, yeah,
(Axel speaks Norwegian)
- do you know them already?
(Göran speaks Norwegian)
- Hi.
- Uncle!
- Hey!
- Finally, one familiar face.
(Göran speaks faintly)
- (laughs) Yeah.
(Göran sighs)
- Oh, it's so good to
see you, my friend.
- It's all changed, man, there's
all those young people and-
(Göran speaks Norwegian)
(Marianne speaks Norwegian)
- It's terrible.
- There was a phone call
for you down at Katsikas.
- Already? Did the
government call in?
Is, is that them?
- (laughs) Hey!
Hey!
- Hi.
- [Leonard] Why
didn't they call here?
- I guess they don't
have the number, but, uh,
they said they will call
- Wow, that's terrible.
- in, in about five minutes.
(Marianne speaks Norwegian)
- (chuckles) Don't give
him any more sugar.
(Marianne chuckles)
No, really.
- No, it's mine!
(Marianne gasps)
It's mine!
(Marianne laughs)
Move, it's mine.
- Okay, I'll be right back.
- Okay.
(Axel mumbles)
See you. (lips smack)
- See you in five.
(lips smack)
Okay.
All right.
Very, very, very,
I appreciate it.
Yeah, all right, so long.
(phone thuds)
(customers chattering)
(Leonard sighs)
(Leonard breathes heavily)
(Leonard sighs)
(guitar taps)
(Leonard sniffing)
(gentle chimes)
(Leonard breathes heavily)
(books thud)
All right.
- What's going on?
- You know, the
programme, I, uh, (sighs)
the TV programme
I did in London?
Hey.
Um,
(Axel mumbles)
I thought I was rather hostile
on it, but they
really liked, uh,
I don't know, lots
of people saw it.
You know, my, my first album
was apparently
charting in the UK.
It's in the Top 20
now, which is, no,
something I never thought
was a possibility.
And, um, (exhales sharply)
(sighs) and they
want me to record
the rest of the second album.
(Leonard stammers)
- So what, so you,
so you're leaving
again, n-now, or-
- Right, that's the plan.
- Right.
- Yeah.
(insects chirping)
But, uh, yeah,
(sniffs) they, um,
oh, boy, (exhales sharply)
they said that, uh,
I might be a star.
- What?
- Please, I love you,
I'll be back, of course.
When you're a star,
you don't know how long
you're going to burn.
You gotta, you gotta make
sure you're up in the sky
while you're still shining.
Yeah?
(Marianne sniffs and scoffs)
(insects continue chirping)
But I'll be back, you know,
I'm coming back, obviously.
Yeah?
No, I am.
(Leonard exhales sharply)
- [Axel] Mamma?
- Hmm?
(Axel speaks Norwegian)
(Marianne exhales sharply)
(Marianne speaks Norwegian)
(gentle poignant music)
(Marianne speaks Norwegian)
- [Axel] Hmm.
(lips smacking)
(salesman speaks Norwegian)
- Okay.
(artist sighs)
(Marianne speaks Norwegian)
(artist sings in Norwegian)
- [Salesman] Don't get more.
(artist sings in
foreign language)
- I've seen you around.
Would you like to have
a glass of wine with me?
- Why?
- It's boring drinking alone.
And I have this whole bottle.
And, well, you look a
little down, frankly.
So I don't know,
any of the above.
- Sure.
(customers chattering)
- [Bar Owner] For Marianne.
- Mm. (speaks Norwegian)
(customers chattering)
- So why are you down?
- Down? I
Why do you want company?
- I'm dying.
- What?
You're-
- Dying, yes.
Six months or something.
Cancer.
- I'm sorry.
- It's the first
time ever that I felt
that my life is precious.
Really wish I'd
known that sooner.
What about you? Do you,
do you find it's precious?
- Life?
Ah, I'm not sure that I
do, right now, I think.
- I mean, right now
is all there is.
Really wish I'd
known that sooner.
But it's sorta too
late now. (chuckles)
- Yeah.
(hooves clopping)
(customers chattering
and laughing)
I don't know if this is
a very rude question,
but what do you think you
would've done differently?
(customer laughs)
- I think I would
have cared much less
about what people think.
I think I would've
loved and fucked,
knowing full well that I
am not who I sleep with.
Wouldn't have cared
about my weight,
(horse whickers)
or that other people judging me
has really nothing
to do with me.
I would've loved myself better.
I would've not been so afraid
of people not wanting me.
- Are you scared?
- No.
Not yet.
I'm sure I will be,
but until then, I plan to live
as much and as well as I can.
- Thank you.
- For what?
- Perspective. (chuckles)
I know, I think it's just
Sometimes you don't even
realise how easy it is to just
constantly hide the
truth from yourself.
Uh,
so, yeah, (clears throat)
thank you for pulling
down the blinds.
(customers chattering
and laughing)
(clock chimes)
(crowd yelling)
(camera shutter clicking)
(upbeat suspenseful music)
(Leonard sniffing)
- Hey, rumour has it that you're
trying to kill yourself, hm?
- There's beautiful people.
All different kinds
of hairstyles.
- [Irving] Yeah. Lenny?
- [Leonard] Yeah?
- I just wanna say one thing
because I've been there,
I know, fame is like
heroin, it can kill you.
(Leonard sniffing)
Yeah. Take it or leave it.
(Leonard laughing)
(gentle suspenseful music)
(both laughing)

on, clear a path.
- I love you.
- Guys, no autographs.
- I love you.
- No autographs.
Come on, clear a path, guys.
Leonard, you ready?
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Will we see you again?
- Well, uh, next
we go to Geneva.
- No, after, after the show.
- Uh, now? No.
No.
- You will not sing for us?
- Why, would you like to listen?
(models laughing)
- Yes.
- Uh, well, I don't
have any plans for it.
(model chuckles)
It's hard to come on to a
girl in front of the camera.
- What?
- Did you get all that?
Okay.
- Here we go.
- We're good?
- Ready.
- Okay.
- [Irving] See you later, okay?

I'm so happy you're here.
- No, just eat and stay in bed.
Stay in bed, stay
in bed, my love.
And eat some food.
- Oh, I can't.
- Yes, you can.
(Leonard exhales sharply)
No, no, no, no, the
pills, the powders,
it's all in the New York sewers
because you are gonna
come back to life.
- How'd you get in my room?
- It's very easy,
I just convinced the
night porter that I,
uh, I'm your fiance.
- How'd you do that?
- Well, you know, I just
had a little (sighs)
trick up my sleeve.
And I just showed him
the, the back cover
of your latest album.
- I'm sorry.
(Leonard breathes heavily)
(record tapping)
I hope you don't
mind I used that.
- I liked it, actually. And,
um, I liked the album, too.
Hmm.
(lips smack)
(gentle pensive music)
(gentle pensive music continues)
(birds chirping)
(footsteps plodding)
(Marianne breathes heavily)
(chuckles) That's beautiful.
- What is, the sunset?
Or the young love?
- Both.
- Sometimes I worry
that, uh, what we had,
no, what we have,
that, um, it belongs to some
rock on the island of Hydra.
- Maybe that's why you feel
like when you've lived on Hydra,
you can't really
live anywhere else.
(gentle pensive music continues)
- Including Hydra.
- Including Hydra.
(Marianne chuckles)
Oh.
Thank you.
- That's my line, "Thank you."
You've saved my life over and
over and over and over again.
- No.
- It can't be easy.
(child chattering)
- It goes both ways.
You saved mine, too.
Mm.
(gentle pensive music continues)
Hey,
- I feel like we're in
one of my silly poems.
I'm being verbose,
(Marianne laughs)
and terrible and pretentious,
and you're looking
beautiful and true.
(gentle poignant music)
- And, um,
if we are one of your poems,
are we finished now?
(gentle poignant
music continues)
(Leonard sniffs)
(Marianne breathes heavily)
(gentle poignant
music continues)
(jewellery rattling)
Well, Marianne, it's
come to this time,
when we are really this old,
and our bodies
are falling apart,
and I think I will
follow you very soon.
Know that I am so
close behind you that
if you stretch out your hand,
- Stretch out your hand,
I think you can reach mine.
- I think you can reach mine.
- And I know that I
have always loved you
for your beauty and your wisdom.
But I don't need to say
anything more about that
because you know all about that.
But now I just want to wish
you a very good journey.
Goodbye, old friend.
Endless love.
I'll see you down the road.
Leonard.

Dear friends, I am not

I just want to let
you all know that
I've had some of the best years
of my life on this island.
(horse neighs)
And when we came here, it
was all we had dreamed of.

has been home,
adventure, chaos, and peace.

hell in paradise.

I think at one point, you
wake up, you look around you

stranger in your own world.
And even in your own life.
You can't remember
the dream anymore.
(ferry horn blaring)
That's when you realise
it's time to move on.
I will wake up mornings and
think about this island,
about its people.
And I will miss them
and the dreams that
we left behind here.
Take care.
Yours, Charmian Clift.

It's in the Top 20

I think I would've
loved and fucked,
knowing full well that I
am not who I sleep with.
Wouldn't have cared
about my weight,
(horse whickers)

has really nothing
to do with me.
I would've loved myself better.
I would've not been so afraid

to go back to my room now.
Jim, you sound great.

Uh, beautiful.

I really love him.
He's very real.

Guys. (speaks faintly)

Just wait, I got you, it's
okay, it's okay, it's okay.
(suspenseful music)
(water burbling)

Just breathe, just
breathe like that.
Perfect.
(siren wailing)
(water burbling)
Hey, hey, hey, look at me.
(Leonard panting)
Shh.
Shh, it's okay,
it's okay. It's me.
Shh, just, just breathe, it's
okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Hi, I'm here. (breathes heavily)
(siren wailing)
(traffic droning)
(horns honking)
(Leonard breathes heavily)
Hi.
- My love,
(exhales sharply)
I thought you were,
I'm so happy you're here.
- No, just eat and stay in bed.
Stay in bed, stay
in bed, my love.
And eat some food.
- Oh, I can't.
- Yes, you can.
(Leonard exhales sharply)
No, no, no, no, the
pills, the powders,
it's all in the New York sewers
because you are gonna
come back to life.
- How'd you get in my room?
- It's very easy,
I just convinced the
night porter that I,
uh, I'm your fiance.
- How'd you do that?
- Well, you know, I just
had a little (sighs)
trick up my sleeve.
And I just showed him
the, the back cover
of your latest album.
- I'm sorry.
(Leonard breathes heavily)
(record tapping)
I hope you don't
mind I used that.
- I liked it, actually. And,
um, I liked the album, too.
Hmm.
(lips smack)
(gentle pensive music)
(gentle pensive music continues)
(birds chirping)
(footsteps plodding)
(Marianne breathes heavily)
(chuckles) That's beautiful.
- What is, the sunset?
Or the young love?
- Both.
- Sometimes I worry
that, uh, what we had,
no, what we have,
that, um, it belongs to some
rock on the island of Hydra.
- Maybe that's why you feel
like when you've lived on Hydra,
you can't really
live anywhere else.
(gentle pensive music continues)
- Including Hydra.
- Including Hydra.
(Marianne chuckles)
Oh.
Thank you.
- That's my line, "Thank you."
You've saved my life over and
over and over and over again.
- No.
- It can't be easy.
(child chattering)
- It goes both ways.
You saved mine, too.
Mm.
(gentle pensive music continues)
Hey,
- I feel like we're in
one of my silly poems.
I'm being verbose,
(Marianne laughs)
and terrible and pretentious,
and you're looking
beautiful and true.
(gentle poignant music)
- And, um,
if we are one of your poems,
are we finished now?
(gentle poignant
music continues)
(Leonard sniffs)
(Marianne breathes heavily)
(gentle poignant
music continues)
(jewellery rattling)
Well, Marianne, it's
come to this time,
when we are really this old,
and our bodies
are falling apart,
and I think I will
follow you very soon.
Know that I am so
close behind you that
if you stretch out your hand,
- Stretch out your hand,
I think you can reach mine.
- I think you can reach mine.
- And I know that I
have always loved you
for your beauty and your wisdom.
But I don't need to say
anything more about that
because you know all about that.
But now I just want to wish
you a very good journey.
Goodbye, old friend.
Endless love.
I'll see you down the road.
Leonard.
