Nemo: When I was a kid,
my teacher asked,
what are the three things
that I would save from my house
if it were on fire.
I answered: My sketchbook,
my ac/dc album
and my cat Groucho.

I didn't mention my parents
or my sister.
Of course,
most of the other kids did.
Does that make me a bad person?

My cat died,
I lent that ac/dc album
to a guy named kojo
and I never saw it again.
But the sketchbook I kept.

Cats die.
Music fades.
But art is for keeps.
(Helicopter blades whirring)
Pilot (over radio): Hey, guys,
two minutes to drop-off.
Proceeding as planned.
Number three, all good?
Number three (over radio):
All according to plan.

There we are.
(Grunts quietly)
Boo.
(Running footsteps)
That's fucking weird.
Number three, come in.
- (Over radio): Roger.
- The self-portrait isn't here.
You what?
I found the three other
schieles like clockwork,
but no self-portrait.
No self-portrait?
Nemo:
Yeah, I'm in the master bedroom
and there's another painting
where it should be.
(Over radio): That's impossible.
Go check
the video installation room.
(Over radio):
Four minutes and counting.
(Rapid beeping, whirring)
I'm in the video
installation room.
There's no paintings here.
(Over radio): Are you sure?
(Woman speaks indistinctly

Uh, pretty sure.
Look again.
Man, the self-portrait
is not here.
- (Man speaking over video)
- Where the fuck is it, then?
How the fuck should I know?
Maybe he took it with him
to Kazakhstan.
Of course he didn't take it
to Kazakh-fucking-Stan.
-(Groans) -There's no way
he took it on a business trip.
What do you want me to do?
That piece was worth
three million, man.
Damn it.
We're out of time.
Take what you got and go.
(Breathing heavily)

Good evening, everybody. Uh...
Tonight we're gonna be
preparing a ve... quite simple,

Uh, we're going to start out
with some filtered water
from our favorite source,
the, uh, little vegetation
area there.
Okay.
Now I'm going to the package
of pasta.
We're gonna take some of this...
Uh, fusilli pasta,
pasta de semola di grano duro,
and, uh, let that soak
for about,
I don't know, 24 hours.
Over here,
we've already prepared
this, uh... (Clicks tongue)

and, uh, we're gonna see
how it tastes right now.

Come, let me get you a drink.
So... how's it going?
Good, thanks.
Really? Oh, that-that's good.
That's great.
Yeah.
Challenging times
we're living through.
If you're keeping your head
above water,
(laughs): Kudos to you.
I like a challenge.
What side of the divide
are you on?
Is no man an island
or every man an island?
(Smacks lips)
I'm an island.
But ask me again
after a few cocktails.
(Chuckling)
That is the spirit.
That is the spirit.
(Echoing):
Have you seen the schiele?
- The self-portrait?
- Yeah, I've seen it.
And?
What do you think?

Look, there is champagne,
cocktails, whatever you like.
Make yourself at home.
I will.
I'll catch you later.
Boom.

Owner: Let's go, guys.
Welcome, everyone,
to this exciting private view
of a new work by masbedo,
an artist duo that I love
very, very, very much.
Give them an applause.
(Applause)
The puppet,
the marionette,
long a symbol
of the inevitability of destiny.
We are puppets.
And the fates, gods,
pull our strings,
determining our actions.
Do we have free will
or are we just puppets in a show
controlled by unseen hands?

- Fuck.
The best joke teller in
the world, but, uh, you know,
something to pass the time.
You-you get it, right?
I mean, it's a Bulgarian joke,
actually.
I learned it from, uh,
a very beautiful woman.
She had no idea
that she was beautiful.
Uh, she was very funny.
I mean,
that was her greatest charm.
(Muttering quietly)
(Coughs softly)
And she told me this joke,
"and she said," I warn you.
- (Gags)
- It's a Bulgarian joke."
So this will be a measure
of whether you have the
Bulgarian sense of humor now.
Clearly, uh, you all don't.
I mean, thank you for listening.
- (Groans)
- You're a good audience.
- You don't heckle me.
- (Mutters)
There's no problems here.
Helps pass the time.
I mean, this is what
we're put on this earth for,
to comfort each other
and keep each other company
and pass the time.
(Continues indistinctly
and fades)


(Quietly): She saw...
(Mutters)
She saw me.
She saw me.
(Quietly): Saw me.
She looked right up.
She did.
Man (over video):
Nothing happened between us.

Nemo and woman on video: Maybe.
But when we met,
I had a feeling that life
had taken over.
I loved being in bed with you.
I loved waking up next to you.
And I knew you felt the same.
Nemo: This is just
my way to contribute, you know.
- (Groans in frustration)
- Cheers to all of you.
Cheers big ears.
If you didn't like the joke,
I'm sorry but fuck you.
I did the best I could,
and if you didn't like that,
fuck you.

(Breath quavers)
I'm going to heaven
on a hillside
I'm going
to heaven on a hillside
I'm going to heaven
on a hillside
I'm going
to heaven on a hillside
I'm going to heaven
on a hillside
I'm going
to heaven on a hillside
I'm going to heaven
on a hillside
I'm going
to heaven on a hillside
(Louder): I'm going to heaven
on a hillside
I'm going
to heaven on a hillside
I'm going to heaven
on a hillside
I'm going
to heaven on a hillside
I'm going to heaven
on a hillside
I'm going
to heaven on a hillside
I'm...

Nemo: When I was a kid,
my teacher asked,
what are the three things
I would save from my house
if it were on fire.
I answered: My sketchbook,
my ac/dc album
and my cat Groucho.
My cat died.
I lent that ac/dc album
to a guy named kojo,
and I never saw it again.
But the sketchbook...
I kept.
Cats die.
- Music fades.
- (Scraping on wall)
But art is for keeps.
As a gesture of thanks
for your hospitality,
I've saved three things
of yours from destruction.
I lived in your place
only a short time.
For you, it was a home.
For me, it was a cage.
(Panting)
- I'm sorry if I destroyed it...
- (Small object clatters)
But maybe it needed
to be destroyed.
After all,
there's no creation
without destruction.
I'm going
to heaven on a hillside
I'm going to heaven
on a hillside
I'm going to heaven
- on a hillside
- (grunts)
- I'm going to heaven
- (groaning)
On a hillside
I'm going to heaven
on a hillside
I'm going
to heaven on a hillside
I'm going to heaven
on a hillside
- I'm going to heaven
- (tapping on frame)
On a hillside
I'm going to heaven
on a hillside
- (Tapping continues)
- I'm going to heaven
- (Glass crackling)
- on a hillside...


("Pyramid song"
by radiohead plays)
(Vocalizing)
I jumped in the river
and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels
swam with me
a moon full of stars
and astral cars
all the things I used to see
all my lovers were there
with me
all my past and futures
and we all went to heaven
in a little rowboat
there was nothing to fear
and nothing to doubt
(Vocalizing)

"Nemo:" But the following
contraries to these are true:
"One."
"Man has no body distinct
from his soul."
"Two."
"Energy is the only life,
and is from the body."
"Three.
"Energy...
Is eternal delight."

I'm going to heaven
on a hillside

I'm going to heaven
on a hillside
I'm going

I'm going to heaven
on a hillside
I'm going to heaven...
Hillside
