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!
