Inland Empire DVD extras - More things that happened |

What is that language you can hear during the phone scene, the one with Nikki lying down on the floor and that black eyewear on her while she speaks on the phone with Devon? It could be spanish? or Polish? I don't know. What are you thoughts on "More things that happened" by the way? I think nobody has ever talked about it in here. Kind of strange. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, "More things that happened" is a feature film of 90 minutes - available on the INLAND EMPIRE dvd - that edits all the deleted scenes of the film into a new film, which is described as a series of "character experiences".

Well, thanks for putting here those thread links. I read a few of those things and they really don't add much. I would like to know if someone here can give me a hand with the part where Nikki has that long monologue. Laura Dern is an incredible actress, but she kind of mumbles sometimes, you know... Or she's too quick delivering some lines, so during some bits of it I could not understand what she was saying. I mean, not even the meaning. Nothing. Because it is so random!
The problem is that the copy I found has not subtitles at all, so is there someone who knows any website (I looked for them but I couldn't find anything) where I can find a transcript or maybe someone who would do me the biggest favor ever... That is making a transcript for me (for that scene only)! Please someone tell me you have a solution for me, because I love this feature so much and I want to understand every single word.

Hopefully someone on here can point Mr. Silencio in the right direction and help him out. I watched this almost feature length More Things That Happened last night for the second time and I almost fell asleep - I don't know if it was the feature or a possible multitude of other reasons. There were some interesting scenes in it, especially the Phantom and the Lost Girl talking about the watch. As a whole, these scenes added confusion to interpreting the movie. I think they were mostly left out for a good reason. It makes me sad we can get this many deleted scenes from INLAND EMPIRE and maybe never any from the far superior FWWM. I know I have mentioned this a lot, but it bears noting.

I absolutely love the scene with sue sitting in her armchair in the living room, whilst the tv flashes and polish night music (which is a fantastic piece of music) plays in the background. Its a really haunting scene, watching sue in the depths of depression.

Yes.... So, anyone can help me with the monologue issue? Any script, transcript or subtitles available, please?

Don Silencio. I remember somebody (From memory I think the user is Scott Purcell but don't hold me to that!) put up a transcript of the Laura Dern monologue on the IE imdb discussion board. I just checked and the thread isn't there anymore but if you put up a new thread asking for it, I would say there's a good chance he has it saved and would post it up for you.

I haven't seen this disc. Are any of the other things that happened that DL discovered a coherent narrative or sense of restraint or any sense of pacing or creating an emotional impact other than by using grossly sentimental music and no-holds-barred actor emoting?

You definitely should watch it. The monologue especially gives some very interesting insights into Nikki's past life and although you just see Laura speaking it is very visual.

Anyway, the parts where I don't get what she is saying are when she describes the place where she sleep at her sister's, the whole part before she sees a million black widows... And then, when she tells about her mother's accident in the cornholders factory, the whole description of the machineries.
Thank you, I hope someone will waste some time to pass me a transscript of only these two things. I don't ask really that much, do I?

Yes, it probably would help....but doesn't that suggest the current edit of IE is inadequate, if we need that supplementary information to clear things up? Sure a longer cut of Blue Velvet (and certainly the script) helps with some points but BV as it is is fantastic and near perfect. I guess IE is a different kind of movie, I'm just sorry it isn't in a shorter. more comprehensible form.

Scott Purcel just replied to me this morning on IMDB. I hope he's gonna give me that monologue's transcript. When I have it, I will post it here, in case someone else wants to read it.

What is she saying "They got these machines that squirt up this plastic?" Is that correct? Doesn't really make much sense... I know it's Lynch stuff, but words are words, man... Get Laura to spell a little more clearly, 'cause there are not only Americans in the world watching this shit (no offense, it's just the rage of the moment). Please someone get me a transcript of the monologue because I'm really dying here. :) With all the people who owns the DVD in here, isn't there a good soul who can spend 15 minutes making a monologue transcript for me ?PLEAAASE! I will be your eternal slave.
The real question is How come they didn't put English subtitles? Was it too expensive? I hardly doubt that.

Squirt "out" this plastic, maybe? That would be injection molding machines. We used those in 7th grade shop class to make screwdrivers with plastic handles.

Thank you for the nice info, although I'm still waiting for a transcript from someone here or on IMDB.

Finally, here is the monologue transcript: My sister has a shelf in her refridgerator with my name taped to it. The shelf where I keep my food. I got milk. And cheese and I got some miracle whip. Over on the counter is where I keep my bread. I sleep in the back room. In summer it’s a screened-in porch. They got walls that you use by turning these clips. I stacked the walls in the garage. One time I turned part of 'em clips to take out part of a wall. I've seen about a million black widows. Crawling fast and laying their eggs. I got a lamp. Keep it by my bed. My sister's bed. The lamp is mine. That same damn lamp that's always been with me. It’s my sister’s bed, but my lamp. I don’t go anywhere without that lamp. It was a lamp from my family. On my momma’s side. She was the one that changed it to the red shade it’s got now. There was a floral pattern one before. I've seen a picture of it when it had the floral pattern shade. Picture was black and white, so I couldn’t see the actual color of it. The picture was really weird. It had a man’s hairy arm, on the edge of the picture, sort of coming in from the side. I asked my momma if that was my daddy’s arm in the picture. She said "No dear, that ain’t your daddy there". I said "Who is it then?" She said "It’s none of your business". Why wouldn't she just tell me it wasn't my daddy. I would have forgotten all about it. This way I keep wondering who the fuck was hanging around our house. It could have been anybody. Sort of makes you wonder, ain’t it? My mother, she’s another one. She couldn’t sleep at night. She’d be up drinking and reading magazines, sometimes all night. She’d have to work the next day. She got real fucked up taking pills, so she wouldn’t fall asleep at work. One time she was working her machine. They made those little things that you jam into each end of an ear of corn, corn cob holders. You know, they were made so you wouldn’t burn your hands on corn on the cob. So, they got these machines that squirt out this plastic and then the top comes down with a hell of a pounding fucking force. You gotta get these nails in first and get your hand away. 'Cause that top comes down like a fucking pile driver. She was half asleep on the job. Forgot to pull her hand away quick enough. The machine snipped it right off, her whole fucking hand. There weren’t a lot of blood at first, 'cause it sealed the stump like it was glued. Then all of sudden it burst open, blood shooting halfway across the room. Women were screaming and running. My momma almost died that day. They forgot to call first, the ambulance. Women were busy running around screaming and my momma was laying in a pool of her own blood, hand caught in a corn cob mold, flatter than a pancake. [I like pancakes] Latest I’ve been thinking about that shelf in my sister’s refridgerator that she’s got my name on... Tagged. See, it’s at the bottom of the fucking refridgerator. There’s this moist mold down there and it’s a small shelf. My sister and her husband, that’s kiddo, that’s what she calls him. He’s husband number three. He don't do shit. He sits around reading his newspaper in the morning, eating lunch around two o’clock every afternoon, and watching TV to the wee hours. He starts drinking. When she gets home, she’s the one that works. She’s a waitress at a diner. She’s been working there for years, serving breakfast and lunch. She’s got to be there until four when the dinner crew comes on. She rides a bus. She shops at the grocery usually and then walks home. She’s the one that holds that place together. She’s been drinking more and more at night as years goes on. She’ll tap a fifth of roses and they’ll drain that puppy before the seven o’clock news. Mix it with water. They both do. I guess it’s nice they like drinking together. Draws them closer, you know. She strips down to a robe and slippers and sits down next to kiddo on the couch. I got to fix my own food. She’ll do for kiddo, but not for no one else. I guess when her day of waitressing is done, she doesn’t want to do nothing for no one. That fucking kiddo don’t lift a finger, not even a little puffy pinky. He just sits and grows closer to the vegetable kingdom. I hear him laugh at the dumbest shit I ever heard watching that shit night after night. It was fuckface face kiddo’s idea that I have my own shelf so not to confuse their stuff with my stuff. Only thing I confuse is kiddo and a pile of shit. Both seem about the same to me. My sister wouldn’t give a shit if I ate a cracker of hers. Kiddo’s got a hard on though about not running out of all of his favorite stuff. The fucker wants his stuff. He’s always checking their shelves and my little shit shelf, making sure all of his favorite stuff is still there. I like ice cream along ten thirty, eleven o’clock. It’s good enough to share. They’re so far in the bag they can’t say ice cream let alone need it. The thing is, eat it or not, the ice cream lasts one night, because that little area, my shelf, makes it runny after about six hours. I have to get my ice cream as late in the day as possible. Kiddo came in my room one morning, trying to crawl into bed with me, but he made sure first that he had bunch of breakfast first. He comes in all smiley and sits on the end of my shit bed. Starts rubbing my foot. Says "I bet you're all soft and warm down there in that little bed. Maybe a little lonely, though. Want some company in that little bed of yours?" I say "Kiddo, I say this once and once is all I’ll say it. If you ever think about what you’re thinking about, ever again even think it, I’ll cut your cock off and before I leave, I’ll set it on my little fucking shelf in the refridgerator with a tell all note to my sister. Coz you’ll be dead by then. I’ll cut off your cock and your sick fucking head right at the stringy neck". You gotta understand... I was 41 years old in 1960. I’m freaked out about it 'cause I lost a bunch of years. I figure I might be older, but that is as near as I can figure. Some say I’m too tall.
