'A little atomic bomb' | '90 minutes in hell' by Charles Bukowski R.I.P Just give me a little atomic bomb Not too much just a little Enough to kill a horse in the street But there aren't any horses in the street Enough to knock the flowers from a bowl But I don't see any flowers in a bowl Enough then to frighthen my love But I don't have any love Well give me an atomic bomb then to scrub in my bathtub like a dirty and lovable child I've got a bathtub Just a little bomb general With pugnose Pink ears Smelling like underclothes in July Do you think I'm crazy? I think your crazy too So the way you think. Send me one before somebody else does.

Part 02

"...This was the first of a series of experiments in which he would meet her at different times. Sometimes he finds her in front of their markings. She welcomes him happily. She calls him her ghost. One day she seems frightened. Another day she leans toward him. He is never sure whether he seeks her out or is sent, whether he invents or dreams.

On about the fiftieth day, they meet in a museum filled with eternal creatures. By now, the technique has been perfected. Aimed at a given moment in time, he can live there and move about freely. She too seems used to it. She accepts the behavior of this visitor who comes and goes, exists, speaks, laughs with her, is silent, listens, disappears.

Back once more in the laboratory, he sensed a change. The camp Director was there. From the conversation, he gathered that after the success of his trips into the past they want him to go into the future. Excited by this idea, he did not realize that the meeting in the museum had been the last.

The future was better protected than the past. After even more exhausting efforts, he made contact with the world of the future--a world transformed; Paris rebuilt; then thousand unknown avenues. Other men awaited him. Clearly, they rejected his leftovers from another age. He recited his lesson: since mankind had survived, surely it could not deny assistance to its own past. This sophism was accepted as Destiny in disguise. He was given a power supply strong enough to start the world's industry, then again the doors to the future closed.

Soon after his return, he was sent to another part of the camp. He knew they would not spare him. He had been a tool in their hands. His childhood memory had been the bait. He had played his part, and now they would liquidate him, together with his memory of a time twice-lived. Then, deep within him, he received a message from the men of the future. They too traveled in time, more easily. They invite him into their world. But he asked for something else. Rejecting their tranquilized future, he asked that they return him to the world of his childhood, and the woman who perhaps awaited him.

Back on the jetty at Orly, on this hot Sunday before the war, where he could now stay, he realized that the child he had once been must be there too, watching the planes. But first, he looked for the woman's face, at the end of the jetty. He ran towards her. But when he saw the man from the underground camp he realized that one cannot escape time and that this haunting moment, given him to see as a child, was the moment of his own death." FIN

La jetée original VO script by Chris Marker.
