:32:11
Yeah. Absolutely, doll. Yeah.
:32:15
I'm just about to close up.
Wanna meet at the Pig in 20 minutes?

:32:19
Cool. Bye.
:32:22
I'm splittin' for the day, puppet man.
Lock up for me, okay?

:32:26
- Don't you wanna know
what happened to me?
- No.

:32:29
- Please, this is important.
- Better be.

:32:33
It is.
:32:40
There's a tiny door
in my office, Maxine.

:32:43
It's a portal,
and it takes you inside John Malkovich.

:32:47
You see the world
through John Malkovich's eyes...

:32:50
and then after about 15 minutes,
you're spit out...

:32:53
into a ditch on the side
of the New Jersey Turnpike.

:32:55
Sounds great!
Who the fuck is John Malkovich?

:32:58
Oh, he's an actor. He's one of the great
American actors of the 20th century.

:33:03
Oh, yeah?
What's he been in?

:33:05
Lots of things.
That jewel thief movie, for example.

:33:08
He's very well respected.
Anyway, the point is...

:33:11
this is a very odd thing.
:33:14
It's supernatural,
for lack of a better word.

:33:17
I mean, it raises
all sorts of philosophical-type
questions, you know...

:33:22
about the nature of self,
about the existence of a soul.

:33:25
You know, am I me?
Is Malkovich Malkovich?

:33:30
I had a piece of wood in my hand.
:33:32
I don't have it anymore.
Where is it?

:33:35
Did it disappear?
How could that be?

:33:38
Is it still in Malkovich's head?
I don't know!

:33:43
Do you see what a metaphysical
can of worms this portal is?

:33:51
I don't see how I could go on living
my life the way I've lived it before.
