"Who am I?" "It doesn't matter." "And also, it doesn't matter to me who you are." "Or, it doesn't matter who we are." "In fact, what's important is to know what we are." "Don't try to understand it, because the conclusion would be the madness." "The end of everything and the beginning of nothing." "The courage begins where the fear ends." "The fear begins where the courage ends." "But, is there courage and fear?" "Courage of what?" "Fear of what?" "Of everything?" "What is everything?" "Of nothing?" "What is nothing?" "The existence." "What is existence?" "Death." "What is death?" "Wouldn't be death the beginning oflife?" "Or would be life the beginning of death?" "You didn'tsee anything and want to see everything." "You saw everything, but didn'tsee anything." "You fear what you didn't know and faces what you did know." "Why do you fear what you did know and faces what you didn't know?" "Your confused mind doesn't know what to look for, because whatyou're searching confuses your mind," "and the terror is born." "The terror of death." "The terror of pain." "The terror of the ghost." "The terrorfrom another world." "Now, you see in terror that nothing is terror." "The terror doesn't exist, but the terror imprisons you." "What is terror?" "Ah, you don't accept the terror because the terror is you!" "THE STRANGE WORLD OF COFFIN JOE" "A man came from beyond," "With stronger power," "Because his force is immense," "And created for himselfhis own world," "Aworld that nobody can take from him" "His reign is for revolt" "His orders is for hatred" "And death doesn't matterfor him" "Man without God" "Without faith, without love" "Doesn't fearanybody" "Not even the pain" "His name is deeply remembered" "Zé do Caixão, Zé do Caixão" "His echo shakes the world" "He doesn't have a heart, He doesn't have a heart" "So sad is his living" "THE DOLLMAKER" " Everything is all right?" " Yes." "Don't forget thatyou've got otherfour dolls to make." "Yes, yes." "Rest assure that I'll provide the dolls today." " Thank you very much." "Good night." " Good night." " Beautiful doll, huh?" " Everybody says that." "It's sure a work of art" "Specially the eyes." "It's in the eyes that lies the art ofMaster Bastos." "They are really very expressive..." "Did you know the dollmaker?" "Yes, it's the old man thatjust left." "He lives here, inSão Paulo, near Pirituba, where he got a workshop." "To tell the truth, I think that the dolls were imported." "He works alone?" "No." "His four daughters help him." "And ifyou see them, what girls..." "He must be rich with all this work." "Tell me about it..." "Itseems that the old man is so niggard that he doesn't put the money on the bank." "He keep the money at home, with the same caution he gotwith his daughters." "Did you heard that?" "Doesn't it give you ideas?" "Or it'll be thatyou've got such a poor imagination?" "I think that I understood you." "But, Sérgio, you won't be thinking..." "You guessed right..." "Yeah, you're right." "Tonight is very slow." "But the nightwill be very full." "Come back, my love" "Come to me" "And all the bad things I've made" "You'll forget" "Stay, my love" "It's my heart that..." "My daughters, that's 'enough for today." "You've worked enough." "Now all ofyou can rest." " Wonderful." "It's almost perfect!" " You forgot just one little thing:" "The eyes!" "That, by the way, it's your specialty." "Yes, they're my specialty" "Shut up, you beast, or I'll serve you for lunch." "Butwhat do you want here so late?" "Money, old man!" "Gold!" "Come on, granpa, where's that treasure of yours?" "But, what treasure?" "It must be hidden in the mattress!" "Come on, old man, be nice!" "Take it!" "Take it!" "Where's the money?" "Take it!" "That damn creature won't be quiet!" "Where's the money?" "Enough!" "Okay." "Playtime is over." "Come on!" "Oryou'll be serve as lunch to your kitty!" "Give us the money, come on!" "No, please, I've got a sick heart." " So what?" "I'll cut your beard anyhow..." " No." " That's enough of this talk!" " Please, I'm sick..." "Give a pacifier to this old cry-baby!" "Come on, will you give us whatwe want or not?" "Hey, guys, I found a better entertainment for us!" "The girls are here." "Not my daughters, not them!" "I think that he fainted." "So much better." "The way gets free between us and the girls." "And what girls!" "We'll make a great party!" "Let me see!" "Let me see!" " Oh, great!" " Hey, and whatwe'll do about the old man?" "Do you hear that beast out there?" "That creature will be quiet at the end of the night." " Come on." " This old man will be an excellent meal!" "Today's the day!" "Easy, I've discovered the girls." "So, I've got the right to choose the best one." "Ah, let go this cheap talk, man." "Let's take them." "Be quiet, andSanta Claus will bring presents forall ofyou, okay?" "Delicious!"

"Be still." "You'll love it." "I don'twant it." "No!" "I Left the Habit" "Come on, girl!" "Don't resist!" "Let's break the ice." "Your eyes... they're beautiful!" "You don't feel anything, baby?" "That's not possible!" "Your eyes..." "Your eyes..." "Boys, this girl is terrific!" "Yes, baby!" "Thank you, my daughters." "You've behaved perfectly!" "OBSESSION" "IDEOLOGY" "Continuing our program, let's hear Mr. Alfredo, who was questioning Professor Oãxiac Odéz' thesis." "Men Who Make News" "Attention... sound." "The time is short," "and we are here to know the professor's ideas, not mine, and so, I like to ask him a question." "According to your theory, that love doesn't exist, how would you call the attraction that a person feels foranother," "orforan object, since this attraction is for real?" "Exactly as you said, my dearjournalist:" "Attraction." "Using the question of my colleague:" "Which is the cause of that attraction for one particular person or object, since there are so many similar?" "Similar, not identical." "This attraction is due to a personal synchronization." "One person finds in another, because its behavior, or because its physical characteristics, something that he needs for perfectioning." "When syntonized, this person feels itself attracted by his complement, and that leads him to take this person as his property," "with the purpose ofhis complementation." "But that's such a nonsense!" "How could you come to a conclusion like that?" "We call nonsense what we don't understand." "I don'tsee any nonsense." "The sequence ofideas is very coherent." "Coherent, there's no doubt about it." "But it's unbelievable." "With such crazy ideas like this, and without any basis, you'll neverconvince us." "Who knows if the professor really has the prooffor his thesis." "This attraction consists on what?" "A number of planets gravitate around the sun, and the sun itselfis the center of these gravitational forces." "The same thing happen to our body, conducted by a physical, material force, and notspiritual, assays the conventional theory." "Our planets are love, hatred, joy, sadness, and they are... nothing more than the attraction and repulse forces to what are around us." "So, our interiorsun, the center of all those forces, the supreme power of our being, is the Instinct." "The Instinct, like a dynamo, emits his force and give life to the pieces around him." "And these magnetic emanations... are the attraction or repulse to people or objects that are around us." "And now, I finish my explanations for tonight." "Good night, gentlemen." "Image of closing." "Enters image of closing." "Ladies and gentlemen, tonightwe had the pleasure to interview ProfessorOãxiac Odéz." "Next week, in thissame hour, we'll be here talking to anothercelebrity." "Another of the men who make news." "Until them, good night." "Don't take me bad, professor." "Sometimes we've got excited." "It was a pleasure." "If it wasn't for your heated remarks, the lecture would have been monotonous." "I still want to chatwith you." "I'll be glad to receive you in my home, one of these nights" "There I've gotways to prove my theory." "Bring your wife with you." "The professorare expecting us." "For what I see, you had readily accepted my invitation." "Excellent!" "It couldn't be any different, professor." "Oh, this is my wife, Wilma." " Nice to meetyou, Professor..." " Oãxiac Odéz." "A slave to your charm." "Ah, forgive the decoration of my home, but, each one has a different taste." "It's true!" "It's very strange." "If my memory doesn't fail, you'd come to know my theories a little closer." "No, no, professor." "Your theories we've already know." "We're here to see the proofyou've promised." "Oh, yes!" "So, no more books." "I'll show you something very special." "You must be thankful ofhaving the privilege to know... what few, very few people, could see." "Let's go!" " Professor?" " Yes?" "You remind me somebody I've knew, but I can't remember who..." "The substance is very limited in its form, therefore it's easy to find some similarities." "But let's go to what matters." "Please, follow me." "What name would you give to this meeting of rational beings?" "Furor of the flesh?" "Freedom of sex?" "Orgy of the Devil?" "Depravation of deranged?" "I know." "We don't have words for whatwe don't know." "I'll give a name for what your mind doesn't understand:" "The triumph of the Instinct over the Reason." "The highest point on the victory of the substance over the spirit." "It's preposterous, professor." "Let's go home." "Let's go!" "Only ifyou could find another way out." "So I'll do it." "What does it means, professor?" "They won't do you any harm." "At least, until I tell them to do!" "Don'tworry." "Everything's gonna be all right." "What do you want, professor?" "Why did you brought us here?" "I want to show you the proof of my research." "Aren'tyou interested?" "Please, have a seat!" "Let me go!" "Let me go!" " No!" "No!" " Let me go!" "Monsters!" "You're about to witness a burlesque presentation, but thatwill prove what I've said." "I'm not interested on what you want to prove, professor." "Mankind always tried to despise... and scorn those who try to run away from its rules." "Everybody here, aftera little treatment, are set free from those rules and became more real." "No, Alfredo!" "I can'tstand it!" "It's horrible!" "It's not possible!" "It's too gruesome!" "You are restrained, professor!" "It'ssadistic!" "You're completelly insane!" "Crazy!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "I can'tstand it!" "I can'tstand it!" "It's horrible!" "So, did you like it?" "It's horrendous!" "I can'tstand it!" " You're insane, professor!" " It's a crime!" "It's murder!" "You'll be punished for that!" "Not at all;" "I am benevolent." "The Bible says: "Give food to feed the hunger"." "Here you got one of those ways:" "The power ofinstinct!" "Where's the crime if only a life was spent... and otherfourcould resume his work on Earth?" "Whatyou'll see now we could call..." ""TheSinnerand the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse"." "You won't believe that, just ten days ago, all of them were distinct people, only with the best offeelings." "However, submitted to a series of treatments, they had turned, as we could call, perverted," "easily accepting what they would certainly dislike." "What I do is nothing more than set free the innerself of each one." "To achieve this, it's necessary to dominate the mind of the patient." "For each case it's needed its own special way to do it." "All of them were skeptical and despised my theories" "By the way, just like you do!" "And now, they're over there!" "How we could call them?" "Rats?" "Freaks?" "Acid" "It's not possible, Alfredo!" "I know that you must be shocked by what your eyes see." "Only a really sick mind could conceive such monstruosity!" "This should have cause what you call hatred, between this two persons." "However, this painful experience is a kind of attraction for them." "The sadism and the masochism completing itself." "Magnetic emanations of the instinct creating its union, leting one accept the otheras it really is." "And doing so, they feed the hunger of the flesh and feel happy." "Take me!" "Let me go!" "Servants, take our honored guests to its respective rooms." "No!" "No!" "No!" "Alfredo!" "No!" "Alfredo!" "Let me go!" "Crazy!" "Murderer!" "I'll see you rotten in prison!" "Alfredo!" "Alfredo!" "Alfredo!" "Take me out ofhere!" "Take me out ofhere!" "Alfredo!" "Let me go!" "Take me out ofhere!" "Now, my dearjournalist, we will finally begin the test." "Instinct versus Reason." "Or, that you called "love"." "Seven days will be your time period." "If you win, you'll be free." "If you lose, the instinct will decide your fate." "One of you must die," "and I think that your wife is the chosen one." " No!" " Professor, if someone must be sacrified, kill me!" "Very well, so it'll be you." "If one of us must die, kill me, professor!" "Yeah." "Love has won the first point." "See you tomorrow, my friends." "Take care!" "As itseems, the first day was easy." "Butwe'll see, today is the second day." "And on the second day, God said:" ""Let there be the firmament"." "And then there is the firmament, which God called Heaven." "Lfyou believe in Heaven, it can be a comfort, but, you know, those who fear the death are precisely the most religious." "A puzzle, for me, anyway." "Because, afterall, isn't Heaven a good place?" "You're still brave." "We'll see until when!" "And on the third day, God separated the land and the sea and said:" ""Let the earth bring grass and tree yielding fruit"." ""And itwas so"." "Water..." "Water..." "Water..." "Great!" "The martyrs oflove!" "This is very good." "And on the fourth day, God said:" ""Let there be lights in the firmament of the Heaven", and soon shone the sun, the moon, the stars, to illuminate the Earth." "And there you got light." "Bright light." "Water!" "Drink it!" "Gall and salt are good;" "increase the thirst!" "Water..." "Water!" "On the fifth day, God created the fish and the birds." ""God blessed them, saying:"" ""Be fruitful, and multiply"." "I can't." "Give it to her." "Give it to her." "There you got... birds and fish." "Feed the dogs!" "No!" "It's food... food!" "Have fun!" "Hurrah for the heroes!" "You deserve a monument in your honor!" "On the sixth day, God created all the animals and the man, whose body He formed of clay, blowing life to it... and the immortal soul!" "We're about to conclude our test." "That's enough of this torture." "I'll stop your suffering" "I'll kill your husband!" "And the reason has won again!" "You're insane!" "Totally insane!" "But I'll prove my thesis." "I've got patience." "There's one day left." "See you tomorrow." "Hallellujah!" "Hallellujah!" "And on the seventh day, God rested." "Open the cage." "Water!" "It's empty!" "Come, I've got a more vital liquid to satiate your thirst." "Come on!" "I'll kill your husband!" "Water!" "I'll kill your husband!" "Water!" "Water!" "Water!" "And the instinct has win!" "The supper, master." "Itwas cooked the way you told to." "Good evening, ma'am!" "Gentlemen... bon appetit!" "THE END" "Saith the Lord God:" "...but hast fretted me in all these things;" "behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations."
