:55:00
Saying your father is dead
when he's not
:55:02
is lying beyond comprehension.
:55:04
Can we talk about this later?
:55:05
We should tell Stu
what happened first.
:55:07
You should tell me
what happened.
:55:08
Why did you say
your father was dead?
:55:10
He died?
:55:11
When?
:55:13
I had a reason.
:55:14
And what was that?
:55:16
The truth?
:55:16
No, a lie will do.
:55:18
Yes, the truth!
:55:18
You do remember what that is,
don't you?
:55:21
Were we in a diner?
:55:22
I have an image of "Merry Xmas."
:55:24
Just give me a moment.
I'd be happy to explain.
:55:26
Right now I'm talking to her.
:55:28
All right.
The total truth.
:55:32
I lied because I wanted to make
myself seem more interesting.
:55:36
More interesting?
:55:38
We are 1,000 miles from home
in a New York police station
:55:41
with a drunken rock star waiting
for your dead father to show up.
:55:45
You want to be more interesting?
More interesting than what?
:55:48
You know,
you just don't understand.
:55:50
It was a new town
and a new school.
:55:52
I understand.
:55:53
And I lied for my mom.
:55:55
I had to protect her
against suburbia.
:55:57
Your parents didn't get her.
:55:58
So you killed your father?
:56:01
Ella!
:56:03
I would appreciate it
if you would just stop talking.
:56:06
Ella, come on.
:56:17
What's going on?
:56:19
Arrest that man!
:56:20
He's a stalker.
:56:21
Ella, Dad.
Dad, Ella.
:56:22
Hi.
I'm Calum Steppe, her father.
:56:23
What happened?
:56:24
That's what I've been asking.
:56:26
As the night continued
to fall on the dark,
:56:27
heartless streets
around the precinct,
:56:29
the six of us gathered
around the sergeant,
:56:31
and I told our tale.
:56:32
We were desperate to get
into this man's concert
:56:34
because I consider him to be the
greatest poet since Shakespeare.
:56:37
We lost our money,
and we couldn't pay a scalper.
:56:39
Then we tried to crash his party
:56:41
rather than have our dreams
forever denied.
:56:43
When he stormed out of his loft,
:56:44
we followed him to make sure
he didn't come into any harm.
:56:47
I'm having memory flashes.
:56:48
I was passed out
amongst the rubbish.
:56:50
I believe they helped me.
:56:51
I know I should be furious,
but it's too late for fury.
:56:55
I'm just thankful
nothing worse happened.
:56:56
He looks like the dog
in "The Dog Years."
:56:59
He is the dog
in "The Dog Years."
