"Hello." "Hello." "I have to talk to you." "Yes?" "And who are you?" "You'll get to know soon enough." "Listen, I'm sorry, I'm just passing by." "And I don't have much time." "That's a good reason to listen to me." "Are you coming on to me?" "No." "You're not from around here, are you?" "No." "Ok, I 'Il give you ten minutes." "What a place!" "Imagine having to end your days here." "Good morning." "What can I get you?" "I would like to have..." "He'lène!" "Oh my God, Hélène!" "That's you!" "But, yes!" "Remember!" "It's me, Marie-France!" "I sat in front of you in class." "I was in love with Tony." "Such as you." "Just like you were But well, it was me who..." "How are you?" "I'd like a coffee and a piece of carrot cake please." "Yes, okay." "And you?" "Nothing." "Oh, you're working?" "You're in character?" "You 're working on a new role, aren 't you!" "Great, want a coffee, right?" "Yes" "But there is no carrot cake, only apple cake." "Just the coffee then." "I'll let you work, see you later then." "It's considered polite to order something." "I don't need anything." "So what did you want to tell me?" "I wanted to tell you:" "You are going to die." "I am sorry." "A coffee for my friend He'lène." "So, how long are you staying here?" "Are you on vacation?" "Shopping?" "It's season sales at the time I am so bored, there is nobody here." "Oh, you want me to leave you alone?" "You are in your character..." "I understand, I am disturbing you" "So, see you later." "We'll have another coffee together." "You'll get the next one for free!" "I will die." "It's nice of you to warn me, I've never thought of it." "But not sometime." "Now." "Right away." "I'm here for two days." "And I find myself in front of a fucking countryside pagan pervert." "Is that your thing?" "Does it excite you?" "It won 't help to run away." "Hello!" "I am being pursued.." "Please meet me at the St. Rock Chapel!" "I'm warning you, The police will be here any moment!" "You 're young, you 're scared, that 's normal." "I'm trying to do this as sensitively as possible." "Fuck your sensitivity asshole!" "Watch out!" "This is the police." "I need an ambulance at the Chapel of St. Rock." "Good afternoon." "Please have a seat." "A coffee maybe, black, yeah?" "Beate, could you bring us two cups of coffee please?" "Your fly is open." "Yes, it is open." "Well spotted." "I do all job interviews with an open zipper." "This gives me a precise impression of the applicant." "Very very few bring it as directly to the point a as you." "Tres bien!" "Promising!" "Beate!" "Why aren 't we getting any coffe?" "What?" "Then get some in the lounge!" "Documentarism, reality, absorbing television." "We will go further than reality allows." "Real people!" "With real problems!" "As close as possible!" "We want to entrain people into the Orcus, so it gets impossible for them to stay passive." "Do you understand?" "We don't know what we are looking for." "But it's innovative, right?" "What are you featuring?" "I'm the Death." "Interesting!" "The Death is real enough." "More!" "I am the Death and you will die." "Yes!" "Maybe a documentary about death, such as it is." "About people with serious diseases who know that they will soon die..." "Where the prognosis is going towards zero." "Wow, it sounds good!" "I am sorry, but that's how it is." "I'm the Death and you will die." "A Mr. Schneider just called, He's in a traffic jam." "He's terribly sorry." "He can be here for the job interview in ten minutes." "I could rather bring you a big cup..." "Would be less dishes." "You have been feeling a lot better recently." "That's why you forgot your nitro-glycerine at home." "You're already here?" "You know who I am?" "Yes, but I didn't think you'd come this soon." "You have waited for a while..." "Yes, that's right." "But..." "I would really like to finish this book" "There is always something..." "But..." "I have the right to a game of chess..." "Haven't I?" "I have a weakness for chess, yes." "If you win, I'll come without any resistance, if I win, you'll let me live for now." "Okay, I haven't played for a while..." "It's embarrassing, I should have read that book a long time ago." "Imagine 41 years as a translator, without having read the Odyssey." "42 years, isn't it?" "Maybe it is..." "The Death knows everything, hm?" "Everything about the person who will die." "Nothing more?" "Nothing more is necessary." "So the Death in itself has nothing to say?" "Your left." "If it hasn't got anything to do with the death in itself, no." "To reconcile with the Death is needless." "Death doesn't disappear before it has won." "So the problem with the Death is it's irreconcilability?" "You can reconcile with the unconciliatory." "Are you trying to confuse me?" "I've seen bigger paradoxes than the Death." "What's bigger than the paradox of the Death?" "Life, for instance." "So?" "Everybody can die." "Either the heart is beating or it's not." "But when you're alive, the heart can beat in many different ways." "How are we today?" "Do we want our evening soup?" "No thank you!" "She is so disgustingly severe." "Like Hitler-jugend." "What did you say?" "She of course can't see nor hear me." "She can hardly see or hear anything but herself." "I think you need some rest now." "No, I don't want your sedatives!" "This is more comfortable for you." "It's much better for you." "Much better" "Impressive." "I'm out of practice." "Goodbye, till soon."
