It looked like you loved her.
:57:14
Oh, my goodness.
:57:17
- Feel my heart.
- Oh, I...

:57:20
I... I have to...
Thank you so much for the ukulele.

:57:23
- Oh, don't be offended. I didn't mean...
- I'm not offended. I'm just confused.

:57:29
I'm married. I just met a wonderful man.
Fictional, but you can't have everything.

:57:33
- Look, can I see you later?
- No, no. I'm meeting Tom.

:57:39
My own creation plagues me.
:57:42
- Anything happening out there?
- No.

:57:44
Life is amazing.
:57:46
One minor character takes some action
and the world is turned upside down.

:57:50
What if he never comes?
We just drift till they shut the projector?

:57:53
- Will you shut up?
- He'll be back. I feel it.

:57:57
I don't wanna sit around.
That's what they want.

:57:59
- Who?
- The bosses.

:58:02
Look at us! Sitting around,
slaves to some stupid scenario.

:58:06
Meanwhile, fat cats in Hollywood
are getting rich on our work.

:58:10
- Please, stop it.
- Studio heads, writers, movie stars.

:58:13
- Stop it.
- But we're the ones who sweat.

:58:16
- We're the characters on the screen.
- You're a Red.

:58:19
I say unite, brothers,
unite and take action.

:58:22
- Shut up and sit down!
- What action?

:58:24
- You're working my last nerve.
- Wait. Shut up.

:58:27
What if all this is merely semantics?
:58:29
- How can it be semantics?
- Well, let's just readjust our definitions.

:58:33
Let's redefine ourselves
as the real world...

:58:35
..and them as the world
of illusion and shadow.

:58:38
You see? We're reality, they're a dream.
:58:41
You'd better calm down. You've been
up on the screen flickering too long.

:58:48
- It's confirmed.
- I was afraid this might happen.

:58:50
Tom Baxter tried to leave the screen
in St Louis, Chicago, Denver and Detroit.

:58:55
- And he almost made it in Detroit.
- It looks bad.

:58:58
The movie houses in those towns
are in pandemonium.
