me... Something terrible!
Please. You're next!
Here they are. They're already here!
Help! You're next!
- They're coming. They're coming...
- He must have done something.
The policeman'll help.
Oh, my God.
That poor man.
What was he talking about?
I'll phone a witness report in
from the bookstore.
Matthew, thank God you're here!
These people are driving me nuts.
- Are we gonna have dinner?
- No, I can't.
- Is there a phone?
- Around the corner.
- Elizabeth Driscoll, Jack Bellicec.
- This is the Elizabeth?
The book is awful. Kibner's book is awful.
His ideas are garbage. Pure garbage.
How can you say that about a man like Kibner?
Not a man like Kibner.
I'm saying it about Kibner.
He dashes a book off every six months.
Takes me six months to write one line.
- Why?
- Cos I pick each word individually.
- What's so hot about that?
- I wasn't even talking to you, was l?
On the corner of Leavenworth and...
- Turk.
- Turk? Turk.
Is that him?
Yes.
Yes!
'What's so hot about that?
What's so hot about that?' I don't know...
You must have a report on it
cos there was a motorcycle officer there
- and an ambulance on the way.
- They follow me.
- They don't understand me.
- You don't have to prove yourself to them.
- That's easy for you to say.
- Of course I saw it.
- The man was running down the street.
- It's romantic, sentimental,
- He landed on my car.
- post-industrial nonsense.
Just a second. I'm talking to the police.
- No, he was bleeding on the road.
- What seems to be the trouble?
Hello? Yeah.
Don't ever give your name to cops.
Leavenworth and Turk. I'll hold.
But he isn't my husband!
It's someone who looks like him.
He's an impostor!
Now, Katherine, he's your husband.
You know him and I know him.
I had to wait until today cos he has
a scar on the back of his neck
and when his hair is long you can't see it.
- He went to have a haircut today...
- And the scar was gone.
No! It's still there!
Of course it's still there.
What did you expect? He's still Ted.
- Excuse me, can I say one thing?
- Please! He's still your husband Ted.
- I know something...
- Katherine?
- Could I say one thing?
- Katherine!
Just a minute.
- Katherine.
- Just give me a minute, will you?
Will you trust me?
Will you please trust me? Will you?
I work for the county.
This is a public-spirited gesture.
- I will give you my name...
- Kibner wants people to fit the world.
- I wanna report this.
- I want the world to fit people.
- We'll talk about this later.
- Where's Homer? Or Kazantzakis?
- Where's Jack London?
- Where's Elizabeth?
- I'm afraid!
- I understand, I know.
I understand. Let me have your hand.
- Katherine, just trust me.
- Isn't he wonderful?
Come on.
There. That's not so bad, is it?
Who's this behind me?
- It's Ted.
- That's right.
Hold on. Come on, just hold on.
Hold on. Just relax now.
- You gonna be all right? You feel better?
- Yeah. Yes.
- You wanna go home now?
- Yes.
- Will you come and see me tomorrow?
- Please... tomorrow.
Tomorrow we'll all talk.
OK? The three of us?
OK, but I better take her home.
Yes. It's OK.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- OK.
- All right?
- OK.
Thank you.
They don't wanna hear about the accident.
It's a big conspiracy.
- What's a conspiracy?
- Everything.
Excuse me.
I understand what you're trying to say.
My name is Elizabeth Driscoll,
the Public Health Department. Call me.
Katherine! Come on, Katherine.
That woman's husband is not her husband.
I saw him with Geoffrey. He's one of them.
She knows about it
- and nobody's helping her.
- No. Somebody's helping her.
I'm glad you heard that. David, Elizabeth.
I've heard it all week. It's popular.
- What is?
- I was trying to tell you
- that I also know somebody...
- Who's changed.
- Yes.
- Can we go outside and talk about it?
Listen, there's a lady up top - red hair,
blue dress. She's interested in your work.
I've heard the same damn story
