"DR. DEXTER:" "As your doctor, I'm having you continue this with the pharmacist." "DR. DEXTER:" "But as yourfriend, I'm asking you to meet me halfway." "DR. DEXTER:" "The first step towards any real progress is communication , Robert." "DR. DEXTER:" "And that's a two-way street..." "Ineed your help." "DR. DEXTER:" "You 're not just a patient." "DR. DEXTER:" "I made a promise to your Mother;" "one I intend fully to keep." "DR. DEXTER:" "Anytime, day or night, you need to talk, you call me. I'll be there for you ." "LANDLADY:" "Three-thirty, back from the druggist;" "I can set my watch by you ." "LANDLADY:" "And pays his rent on time, just like clockwork." "LANDLADY:" "I wish all my tenants could be like you ." "LANDLADY:" "You 're a good, reliable man ." "That's hard to find these days." "LANDLADY:" "All those pills you take." "That's not what you need." "LANDLADY:" "The druggist doesn 't have your cure." "LANDLADY:" "What you need is a good woman ." "LANDLADY:" "I want you to meet my niece." "LANDLADY:" "She's coming here from New York." "LANDLADY:" "She'd be good for you ." "She's pretty." "LANDLADY:" "She doesn 't have any friends either." "And she's a good cook." "LANDLADY:" "She'd make you a good healthy dinner..." "LANDLADY:" "Okay?" "PlCKMAN:" "Alright..." "ART DEALER:" "Twelve noon , right on the dot." "Are you ever late, Mr. Pickman ?" "ART DEALER:" "I have good news for you ." "ART DEALER:" "I got you another commission , a bed and breakfast out in the country." "ART DEALER:" "This old lady is redoing her guestrooms and wants several paintings to match her new wallpaper." "ART DEALER:" "I got herto commit to six." "Six!" "ART DEALER:" "That will pay both of our rents for the rest of the year." "ART DEALER:" "But I can 't take any credit;" "it's never been hard to sell a Pickman ." "ART DEALER:" "You have quite a knack for painting those Lighthouses and Seascapes." "These old ladies love you ." "ART DEALER:" "Here are the swatches forthe wallpaper, so you can match the colors." "ART DEALER:" "What's this?" "This isn 't the painting we discussed." "ART DEALER:" "I know this painting." "ART DEALER:" "This was the one rejected by that decorator -- and rightly so." "ART DEALER:" "This isn 't your normal work." "Look at these brush strokes..." "ART DEALER: ...very amateurish, and there's no soul, no emotions..." "ART DEALER:" "My God, Pickman; that was over a month ago." "ART DEALER:" "Do you mean to tell me you haven 't painted anything new since then ?" "ART DEALER:" "This is our livelihood, Pickman ." "ART DEALER:" "This puts us way behind." "Ashcroft is expecting four paintings, and he's not a patient man ." "ART DEALER:" "What am I supposed to tell him?" "PlCKMAN:" "Fine!" "Tell him I can 't do it anymore." "ART DEALER:" "Robert." "ART DEALER:" "Alright, Robert, I'm sorry." "Maybe I've been overworking you a bit." "ART DEALER:" "It's just that the money has been so good." "ART DEALER:" "Alright, take some time away." "I'll stall Ashcroft for a week ortwo..." "ART DEALER:" "Travel; go on vacation; see some new sights." "PlCKMAN:" "What's the point?" "It all looks the same...no?" "ART DEALER:" "Oh, God..." "DR. DEXTER:" "Robert?" "It's Ambrose Dexter." "PlCKMAN:" "What do you want?" "LANDLADY:" "I'm so sorry." "Your doctorthought you might be needing help." "DR. DEXTER:" "Robert, You missed two appointments." "I was concerned. I was worried." "PlCKMAN:" "I've been working." "LANDLADY:" "I'm very sorry, Mr. Pickman ." "We'll be leaving you now." "DR. DEXTER:" "Working...?" "Robert, you 're painting again ?" "DR. DEXTER:" "That's wonderful!" "What brought you around?" "PlCKMAN:" "Doc, ljust don 't have time to get into it right now;" "I have to get back to work." "LANDLADY:" "Yes, of course." "Sorry to have disturbed you ." "DR. DEXTER:" "Well, Robert, you know I'm the last man in the world that would everwant to stop you from getting back to work..." "DR. DEXTER:" "But, when you have the time, come on in and make an appointment..." "DR. DEXTER:" "You know there's always room for you in my schedule." "PlCKMAN:" "Yes. I will." "ART DEALER:" "Well, I'll be." "What are you doing here today, Mr. Pickman ?" "This isn 't your usual appointment." "PlCKMAN:" "I need money for more paint and canvases and supplies and stuff." "PlCKMAN:" "Look." "Can you sell this?" "ART DEALER:" "Interesting." "Where did you get this, Mr. Pickman ?" "PlCKMAN:" "What do you mean ?" "It's mine." "ART DEALER:" "Yours?" "PlCKMAN:" "Yeah. I painted it." "ART DEALER:" "You 're joking with me." "PlCKMAN:" "No." "ART DEALER:" "This isn 't anything like yourwork." "ART DEALER:" "I'd swearthis was the work of Goodie Hines." "PlCKMAN:" "No. lt's my work." "ART DEALER:" "I've seen my share of recreations of Goodie's work..." "ART DEALER: but this, by far, is the best I've ever seen ." "PlCKMAN:" "No, no, no." "This is not a recreation ." "PlCKMAN:" "This is an example of my new stuff, my new work." "PlCKMAN:" "I don 't even know who Goodie Hines is..." "ART DEALER:" "Don 't you ever read the papers? "The Vicious Visionary", "The Painter of Pain "." "ART DEALER:" "The media had a field day with him." "ART DEALER:" "You really should keep up with the news." "He killed and mutilated seven people." "ART DEALER:" "He cut their eyes out while they were still living." "He said they begged him to do it." "PlCKMAN:" "I'm sure they did..." "I still don 't know who he is." "ART DEALER:" "You should." "He's up at County Hospital with your Dr. Dexter." "ART DEALER:" "Ambrose Dexter is your doctor, right?" "PlCKMAN:" "Yeah." "ART DEALER:" "He never mentioned Goodie?" "PlCKMAN:" "No!" "I don 't even know why he would." "ART DEALER:" "Your Doctor kept Goodie from getting the Chair." "ART DEALER:" "Sometimes I think you live in a bubble." "You know that, Robert?" "." "PlCKMAN:" "Maybe I do. ljust came by for supplies..." "ART DEALER:" "Ever since all that horrible business..." "ART DEALER:" "I've got people coming in here all the time trying to pass off imitations of Goodie's work..." "ART DEALER: ...especially of the church." "ARTDEALER:" "This is the best example I've seen ." "ART DEALER:" "And you 've never seen one of Goodie's paintings?" "PlCKMAN:" "Ijust don 't know how many times I can tell you -- no." "ART DEALER:" "That's simply amazing." "Well, I want to show you something." "PlCKMAN:" "Show me what?" "ART DEALER:" "One of Goodie's works, of course. I've got one of the last ones." "ART DEALER:" "Managed to get one before they locked them all up as evidence." "ART DEALER:" "And I'm going to retire on that sale when the time's right." "PlCKMAN:" "I don 't have time right now. ljust need the supplies..." "ART DEALER:" "I'll take care of your supplies." "But come on , I want to show you this." "ART DEALER:" "I'm embarrassed to say it, but those murders were a real boon for sales." "ART DEALER:" "You know what they say:" "Nothing improves the price of an artist's work more than death, or insanity." "ART DEALER:" "I had a feeling something was not right with Goodie when he starting signing his paintings differently." "ART DEALER:" "Strange little thing, really; he began connecting the two O's in Goodie like the sign for infinity." "ART DEALER:" "Yep." "Amazing piece of work, isn 't it?" "ART DEALER:" "Say what you want about the material, but no one has a right to deprive the art community of such work." "PlCKMAN:" "I've never seen anything like this." "ARTDEALER:" "This is one of his last pieces." "His most radical change in style." "ART DEALER:" "Don 't stare at it too long; it'll give you one hell of a headache." "ART DEALER:" "Something he does with the angles, the way they are all wrong like that." "ART DEALER:" "You 'll get a pain in your head a handful of aspirins won 't get rid of -- trust me." "ART DEALER:" "Hideous and beautiful all at the same time -- isn 't it?" "PlCKMAN:" "I'd give anything to paint like this." "ART DEALER:" "He had such an incredible imagination ." "ART DEALER:" "No matter how horrible the image, you feel as if you know it, or should know it." "PlCKMAN:" "Like a forgotten nightmare..." "ART DEALER:" "Look at the faces of the victims." "ART DEALER:" "The anguish is so real, and every inch of that strange landscape holds a weight to it, a truth." "ART DEALER:" "As if it were drawn from a photograph and not pulled from his imagination ." "ART DEALER:" "As if he were there." "ART DEALER:" "He would go on and on about anotherworld that he said he was able to look upon through a secret window." "ART DEALER:" "He was painting like an out of control fire." "ART DEALER:" "At times I almost though the was afraid of what would happen if he should stop..." "ART DEALER:" "But nothing kept him from getting his worlds onto canvas." "ART DEALER:" "Even when he ran out of supplies, he found a way..." "ART DEALER:" "When he ran out of canvases, he simply painted overwhat was his first obsession ..." "PlCKMAN:" "It's the church..." "The church on Federal Hill." "ART DEALER:" "It's almost like a watermark for any of Goodie's final work." "GUARD:" "Dr. Dexter, I'm glad to see you ." "I've been paging you ." "DR. DEXTER:" "is Doctor Meyer alright?" "." "GUARD:" "Yes." "DR. DEXTER:" "Was he with Goodie Hines?" "GUARD:" "He's still down there." "DR. DEXTER:" "I was in the otherwing." "The orderly told me...." "Are you all right?" "richard:" "Yes. I'll be fine." "richard:" "It's just a scratch; it'll heal." "richard:" "I'm not so sure about my pride." "DR. DEXTER:" "What happened?" "richard:" "I wasn 't paying attention ." "I was concentrating on my notes, and I let Goodie get too close..." "richard:" "He managed to get my fountain pen from me." "DR. DEXTER:" "Oh, Richard..!" "richard:" "I know, I know. I feel so foolish." "DR. DEXTER:" "That's all I need today, Goodie Hines with a pen ." "DR. DEXTER:" "You know how hard it's going to be to get that pen from him?" "DR. DEXTER:" "We might as well be trying to unscrew all his limbs." "richard:" "I'm sorry. I feel like a first year resident." "DR. DEXTER:" "No, the important thing is you 're all right." "DR. DEXTER:" "I want you to get down to the infirmary and have that hand cleaned thoroughly." "DR. DEXTER:" "We'll take care of this..." "DR. DEXTER:" "Get nurse Julie." "She's good with sedatives." "Lithium." "GUARD:" "She's already on the way." "richard:" "Are you sure?" "DR. DEXTER:" "It'll be fine." "Go to the infirmary." "richard:" "And don 't think about keeping that pen ..." "richard:" "It was a gift from my fatherwhen I got my degree." "DR. DEXTER:" "I'll get the pen ." "I might ask forthe degree back." "richard:" "Ouch, that hurt doctor." "DR. DEXTER:" "It was meant to..." "DR. DEXTER:" "Goodie, we can 't let you keep that pen ." "DR. DEXTER:" "We need him sedated and restrained." "GOODlE:" "Don 't take it away from me!" "Don 't take it away!" "GOODlE:" "I can draw you the truth!" "GOODlE:" "I can draw you all the forgotten gods and forgotten places that man refuses to see..." "GOODlE:" "Let me draw it for you !"

"PlCKMAN:" "I can 't be bothered with this right now." "LANDLADY:" "I'm so sorry, Mr. Pickman ." "LANDLADY:" "But I thought we arranged for you to meet my niece tonight." "LANDLADY:" "She spent all morning cooking." "LANDLADY:" "What do you think Mr. Pickman ?" "She is pretty, no?" "PlCKMAN:" "Yeah...fine...you know -- whatever..." "PlCKMAN:" "Come on in ..." "let's just get this overwith..." "LANDLADY:" "What is this thing you are doing in my apartment..?" "LANDLADY:" "What sort of man are you ?" "!" "LANDLADY:" "Such horrible thing..." "It's terrible."

"niece:" "No." "niece:" "He's a terrible man ." "niece:" "Why would anyone paint those things?" "DR. DEXTER:" "Now slow down ." "DR. DEXTER:" "Tell me exactly what happened." "niece:" "My Aunt brought me up to introduce me to Mr. Pickman ." "niece:" "She said he was a good man ." "niece:" "But a good man would never paint those places."

"DR. DEXTER:" "I noticed something odd in the churchyard overthere..." "DR. DEXTER:" "Do any of you know anything about it?" "girl:" "A nasty octopus, or a squid, or something -- right?" "girl:" "That thing is stinking up the street!" "girl:" "Probably one of the boys did it." "DR. DEXTER:" "Why would they do something like that?" "." "girl:" "They try to show each otherthey're not scared." "DR. DEXTER:" "Scared?" "Of the Church?" "DR. DEXTER:" "You girls don 't believe in ghosts -- do you ?" "girl:" "Not ghosts, something worse." "girl:" "The boys put that thing in the yard to make fun of their religion ." "girl:" "Guess it looks like some of the stuff they used to pray to in there." "DR. DEXTER:" "I don 't understand." "DR. DEXTER:" "What does that thing in the yard have to do with a Catholic Church?" "girl:" "It's not a Catholic Church anymore." "girl:" "It hasn 't been for like a hundred years."

"CLERK:" "We can 't do a search without an address." "DR. DEXTER:" "Well, it shouldn 't be too hard to find." "DR. DEXTER:" "It's the church at the top of Federal Hill; it's the only one up there." "CLERK:" "What is that?" "1700 West?" "CLERK: 1800 West." "CLERK:" "Hold on , let me take a look." "CLERK:" "Here it is."

"CLERK:" "They've overseen the property for over seventy-five years." "CLERK:" "Not a single tax payment missed. lt's all legit." "DR. DEXTER:" "How do I get a hold of this RFR?"

"Interviewer:" "Starry Wisdom." "Interviewer:" "That's what Starry Wisdom is, isn 't it...?" "Interviewer:" "Your creative side?" "Your imagination ?" "Interviewer:" "Why do you choose to call it that?" "." "GOODlE:" "You think Starry Wisdom is a metaphor?" "GOODlE:" "A simile?" "GOODlE:" "A fabrication of my mind?"
