You are so full of shit Maxine!
Maxine I know.
Maxine So I've been thinking...Is this Malkovich fellow appealing?
Maxine! Yes, of course, Maxine. He's a celebrity.
Maxine Good. We'll sell tickets!
Tickets to Malkovich?
Maxine Exactly! $200 a pop!
There's a tiny door in that empty office. It's a portal, Maxine. It takes you inside John Malkovich. You see the world through John Malkovich's eyes, then, after about fifteen minutes, you're spit out into a ditch on the side of The New Jersey Turnpike.
Maxine Sounds delightful. Who the **** is John Malkovich?
He's an actor. One of the great American actors of the 20th century.
Maxine What's he been in?
Lots of things. He's very well respected. That jewel thief movie, for example. The point is that this is a very odd thing, supernatural, for lack of a better word. It raises all sorts of philosophical questions about the nature of self, about the existence of the soul. Am I me? Is Malkovich Malkovich? Was the Buddha right, is duality an illusion? Do you see what a can of worms this portal is? I don't think I can go on living my life as I have lived it. There's only one thing to do. Let's get married right away.
I've fallen in love, and this is what people who've fallen in love look like!
Maxine Well, you picked the unrequited variety. It's very bad for the skin.
