Sprockets
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
D: Welcome to Sprockets. I am your host, Dieter [pronounced DEE-
|
|||
|
tah].
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
D: It has been a very busy week here in Berlin. Jourgen von
|
|||
|
Keitel's exhibit "Scabs On Canvas" opened at the Schussel Calle,
|
|||
|
the Gertrude Bromf troupe previewed their performance in wax at the
|
|||
|
Theater of Unhappiness, and the Berlin wall was dismantled. For the
|
|||
|
masses the wall's collapse represents freedom and opportunity. But
|
|||
|
for me, it is a chance to meet the most brilliant countercultural
|
|||
|
filmmaker in the East, Gregor Voss. Seen here on East German
|
|||
|
television last year, Voss, the suppressed visionary whose films
|
|||
|
include "The Dead Coat", "Irritant Number 4", and "Here Child,
|
|||
|
Finish Your Nothing", he entered the West three days ago, and has
|
|||
|
agreed to appear on Sprockets and speak with me, his greatest fan.
|
|||
|
Please welcome Gregor Voss.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
D: Welcome to Sprockets, Gregor Voss.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
GV: Whoo! Yah, is great to be here, Dieter.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
D: Gregor Voss, your presence intimidates me to the point of
|
|||
|
humiliation. Would you care to strike me?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
GV: This is fantastic I can't believe I'm here! Hello West Berlin!
|
|||
|
Ich bin ein West Berliner!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
D: Tell me, in your film, Irritant Number 4, the only two images
|
|||
|
were a baby's head and a toilet. Did you mean for me to scream?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
GV: Scream, ya, ya, ya. Look at this, look at this, Dieter, I've
|
|||
|
got great stuff here. Mountain Dew! A Remington Microscreen! They
|
|||
|
tell me it shaves as close as a blade.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
D: I see genius. By seemingly embracing the cliches of the West, he
|
|||
|
is underscoring its excruciating banality.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
GV: And look at this Dieter, it is a pie, but like no pie I have
|
|||
|
ever seen!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
D: Perfect. You are a master of, of exposing tedium. Let us look at
|
|||
|
a clip from one of your classic films.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[ Clip ]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
D: That film looks at me while I am naked and calls it's friends.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
GV: Touchdown! Hey Dieter, I figured the trick, everytime when the
|
|||
|
? moves to the middle you should run a sweep to the right, it
|
|||
|
always works..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
D: Your story has become tiresome.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
UNKNOWN: Hey Gregor, when are you going to be done?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
GV: Hey, just a minute guys. Dieter, do you want to come along with
|
|||
|
us? We rented a LeBaron.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
D: Excuse me Gregor, but you have disturbed me almost to the point
|
|||
|
of insanity. There, I am insane now. Gregor, you were the greatest
|
|||
|
altar of emptiness, my personal ?. And now I watch you drink beer
|
|||
|
from a hat.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
GV: That's easy for you to say Dieter, you grew up with this stuff.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
D: I would never drink from headgear.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
GV: Ohh, I don't feel so good...
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
D: Idiot.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
GV: I'm sorry, its just all that Mountain Dew, and then this pie..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
D: You may not touch my monkey. [In German]. You may not touch my
|
|||
|
monkey!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
GV: I'm going to be sick.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
D: Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance. That's all the time
|
|||
|
we have, until next time, auf Wiedersehen!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
GV: Dieter, we're meeting some girls, we're meeting some girls
|
|||
|
later, come on Dieter!
