1:20:04
Thankyou, Dr. Lester.
1:20:08
Tell me...
1:20:10
what is this strange power
that Malkovich exudes?
1:20:14
You've gotta help me understand because
all I think about is wanting to be him.
1:20:21
- Wanting to what?
- Wanting to be him.
1:20:24
Wanting to be John Malkovich.
1:20:27
Oh, I see.
1:20:31
Well, perhaps you can.
1:20:34
But, Dr. Lester--
1:20:36
I am not Dr. Lester.
1:20:39
I am Captain Mertin.
1:20:43
I don't understand.
1:20:45
It was 90 years ago
that I discovered a strange portal.
1:20:49
And--And I found that
this portalled to a vessel body...
1:20:54
and that I could live forever
by leaping from vessel to vessel.
1:21:01
- So Dr. Lester is such a vessel?
- Yes, he is.
1:21:06
You still there, sweets?
1:21:09
Hmm.
1:21:13
I figured out how to hang on
as long as I want.
1:21:16
It's all a matter of making friends
with the Malkovich body.
1:21:20
Rather than thinking of it
as an enemy that has to be
pounded into submission...
1:21:24
I've begun imagining it
as a really expensive suit...
1:21:28
that I enjoy wearing.
1:21:35
[Kissing Continues]
1:21:37
Ah, this illustrates...
1:21:40
how I will move into
my next vessel, Malkovich...
1:21:43
on his 44th birthday.
1:21:45
That's when he becomes ripe.
1:21:47
But I must enter
by midnight on that day.
1:21:50
After that, I'd get diverted into
the next newly forming infant vessel.
1:21:55
I don't want that to happen.
1:21:57
- I'd be absorbed.
- Absorbed? What does that mean?
