The Truman Show (1998) Edit

A bit farther. Listen

A businessman and a woman with a little dog

A certain person's birthday.

A dead one at that.

A girl's got to be careful.

A hymn of praise to small town life,

A little sea air...

A month?

A rare and exclusive interview

A safe driver is what? Yes.

A truly blessed life.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Aah! Do something!

Aah! Oh, we're over!

Again!

Ahem.

All aboard!

All buoy cams, please.

All I can handle

All natural cocoa beans from the upper slopes

All night for comfort.

All right, Truman!

All right, we've lost that call.

All right.

All right. Promise me one thing, though.

All right. See you guys.

All the phone lines are jammed,

All this fuss.

All those years wasted.

All: Good afternoon, good evening,

All: Morning.

Almost as if he couldn't wait to get started.

An aircraft in trouble began shedding parts

An entire human life

And a new romantic interest will be introduced.

And a volkswagen beetle

And all the way around here...

And along with the great wall of China,

And as he grew, so did the technology.

And back to medium.

And broadcast live and unedited 24 hours a day,

And every network has a pirated shot of marlon

And forced him onto a bus.

And good night.

And good night.

And his attempts to infiltrate the show.

And I don't blame you now.

And I got pneumonia?

And I need you to remind me that we need more charcoal.

And it's plain to see

And now go in close.

And on the radio on the way to work,

And special effects.

And that I'll call her when I get there?

And that no one is poor who has friends.

And that scene with the bowl of cherries is gonna have you

And the curtains move,

And the last thing I'd ever do is lie to you.

And the last thing that I would ever do...

And then go. There.

And then what, Truman?

And there'll be tears, too,

And there's lots of pages left over for baby photos.

And Truman is back to his old self,

And turn his life into some kind of mockery?

And we all know how jealously you guard your privacy.

And we'll sign the papers?

And we've still got some great music up ahead,

And welcome to tru talk,

And what you've done to Truman is sick!

And wide.

And you don't see anything.

And you know what else was strange?

Angela, we really should be getting you home.

Announcer: 1.7 billion were there for his birth.

Any unpredictable behavior has to be reported.

Anything else, Truman?

Anyway, I have an amputation

Anyway, wish me luck.

Are generated by product placement.

Are you happy now?

Are you listening to a word I'm saying?

As it flew over seahaven just a few moments ago.

As you announced so melodramatically to the world,

At gable enterprises.

Babe, I wanna be your man

Babe, I wanna be your man

Back up! Back up! Leak at the plant.

Beautiful day, isn't it?

Beautiful day, isn't it?

Beautiful job.

Beautifully synchronized, don't you agree?

Because I never have.

Before we become just like the rest of the country.

Before we begin, I'd like to thank you

Before you start coming back.

Before you start coming back.

Besides, a half hour across the bay,

Besides, we have something to discuss.

Better call christof.

Between a private life and a public life.

Blocked at every turn.

Bonus time is just around the corner.

Both: And we're gonna take it.

Both: And...

Both: Good morning, Truman!

Both: Good morning, Truman.

Both: Insurance convention tomorrow.

Bottom line is, they can't drive the boat.

Bravo!

Bravo.

Brilliant. Let's take some viewer phone calls.

Bring up the harbor cameras.

Broken legs and all.

But a lot of strange things have been happening.

But before we get into that, I think it's worth noting

But don't forget to buckle up out there in radio land.

But enough from me. Let's join the Abbotts

But hey, don't forget to buckle up.

But how come he wants to go to Chicago?

But how do you intend to explain his 22 year absence?

But I always felt safe knowing that.

But I've never blamed you, Truman...

But in my world...

But let's go outside.

But right now it's time for golden oldies.

But they couldn't erase the memory.

But tonight, something very special indeed,

But ultimately redemption,

But we have the lighthouse cameras up.

But what about the college? Who's watching that?

But, hey, how do you feel today?

Button cam 3.

Bye.

Cabin cam.

Call him.

Came out of nowhere

Can I borrow that?

Can I help?

Can you imagine if you had been in there?

Can you pass along a message?

Can't very well drive to Fiji, can we?

Capsize him. Tip him over.

Catch you later.

Catch you later. Ok.

Cease transmission.

Ceasing transmission.

Charlotte, north Carolina, you're on with christof.

Check under the table.

Chloe: Oh, my God.

Chloe: That was good work.

Christof, let me ask you,

Christof, what's going on?

Christof: And wide, curb cam 8.

Christof: As Truman grew up, we were forced

Christof: But, well, the point is...

Christof: Enhance it.

Christof: Finally, I came up with kirk's drowning.

Christof: I want to talk to him.

Christof: Shut up and watch it!

Christof: There!

Christof: We have had close calls in the past.

Christof: What's he doing in the basement?

Christof: When kirk read the synopsis of the episode,

Christof: You belong here...

Christof... Thank you.

Close, but no cigar.

Come on, buddy.

Come on, pal. Come on, buddy.

Come on, pluto.

Come on, Truman, one ice cold brewski.

Come on, who hasn't sat in the John,

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Get it moving. Get it out of here.

Come out, come out wherever you are.

Come to bed.

Coming to you now from seahaven island,

Congratulations.

Could be a week, a month, a year.

Could be today.

Could be.

Could I have directory assistance for Fiji, please?

Crane cam.

Cue the sun.

Cut it!

Cut transmission!

Cut transmission?

Cutbacks?

Dad was written out in the first place.

Dad.

Daddy!

Damn you, christof!

Dentist. Or... Yeah.

Did anything happen?

Did dad have a brother?

Did you know that there's a rumor circulating

Did you want What did you want?

Do it!

Do it. No.

Do you have a listing for Lauren garland?

Do you have a Sylvia garland?

Do you need any help, sir?

Do you remember, Truman, when dad was still with us?

Do you understand?

Doesn't she look beautiful, Truman?

Dog fancy, please.

Dog fancy, please.

Dog fancy.

Dog fancy.

Don't look in the camera. Say something. Keep it going.

Don't mention it.

Don't worry about that.

Don't worry.

Don't worry. You're not the first.

Don't you ever feel guilty?

Don't you ever get antsy?

Don't you want to know how I did that?

Doppelganger special.

Drive like a car

Drive.

Driver good driver good.

Early bird gathers no moss.

Early in the mornin'?

Easy on the fog.

Eat me, damn it.

Enjoy yourself.

Equivalent to the gross national product of a small country.

Evening, and good night.

Every single day.

Every time you and marlon get together

Everybody knows everything you do.

Everybody off. We've got a problem.

Everybody says

Everybody says it's just like rock and roll

Everybody's pretending.

Everybody's watching you. Please don't listen to him.

Everyone else is at first positions, ok?

Everyone's at first positions, right?

Everything I've told you is the truth.

Everything's gonna be ok.

Ew. Gross.

Exaggerating? Do you believe that?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Explore.

Father: We've tried everything.

Ferry still here, huh?

Fiji islands.

Fiji?

Fiji.

Fiji.

Fine, fine, fine.

Fine. I'll tell her.

Fixing the mower.

Flirted with him...

Flowers...

Fly like a plane

Followed by a man with flowers

For giving so generously of your time tonight.

For God's sake, christof, the whole world is watching.

For the wife?

Forget Fiji.

Friends say it's fine

Friends say it's fine

Friends say it's good

Friends say it's good

From our financial obligations?

From the actor's wardrobe, food products,

Full of laughter and love, pain and sadness,

Gee.

Get marlon over there.

Get one of those new elk rotaries.

Gotta say, writing kirk back in masterstroke.

Great! Why don't we go up to my office right now,

Guard: Nothing.

Gus: Come on.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha! [Snorts]

Ha!

Had an imaginary interview on seahaven tonight?

Hank.

Harbor island?

Has attempted to reach Truman, is it?

Has been building towards something?

Haven't really worked out for either of us

He came down into the room.

He can leave at any time.

He can't disappear.

He couldn't leave her. He's kind.

He did it! He did it!

He did it. He did it.

He did nothing but stand around for a while.

He gave up, and he fell asleep.

He has the world's most recognizable face.

He has to be on foot.

He has to have it out with meryl.

He made it! Yeah!

He moved down there after meryl packed up and left.

He was born in front of a live audience.

He was curious from birth.

He was disappointed to say the least.

He was just tidying up his garbage.

He'll be on you in about 90 seconds.

He'll turn back. He'll be too afraid.

He's back to his old self.

He's gonna drown, and he doesn't even care.

He's gonna lie to you. They're watching us now.

He's got to be in there.

He's heading west on Stewart.

He's here.

He's lucky to be alive, ma'am.

He's lying. Truman, please, don't listen to him.

He's lying. Truman, please, don't listen to him.

He's not a performer. He's a prisoner.

He's not going to Chicago. He's not going anywhere.

He's not going to Chicago. He's not going anywhere.

He's still breathing.

Head to the left!

Heh heh.

Heh heh. That's good.

Heh heh. That's good.

Heh. Yeah.

Hello and good evening. I'm your host Mike michaelson,

Hello?

Hello? Come in, major Burbank.

Hello? The hague?

Hello.

Hello.

Here you go.

Hey, fellas. You going in?

Hey, how are you, guys?

Hey, mom, isn't that

Hey, simeon. What?

Hey, think about that policy, huh?

Hey, wait a minute. Who are you?

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey, you coming for a drink?

Hey!

Hey! Open the doors!

Hey.

Hey. Go ahead.

Hey. Hi.

Hey. Nice to meet you.

Hi, christof. I'd just like to say one thing.

Hi, honey.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi. Hi.

Hi. I'm Truman.

His father was from Chicago, wasn't he?

His father was from des moines.

His mother got sick, really sick.

Hmm, let me check.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hold on a minute. Here's us at mount rushmore.

Honey, are you ok?

Honey, please.

Honey, please.

Honey, you want to be an explorer?

How about those two?

How can anyone expect me

How can he sail? He's in insurance.

How can I help?

How could we forget?

How do we stop him?

How's it going?

Huh.

Hunt him. Hunt him. Yeah.

Hypnotism, shock therapy.

I i know.

I almost hugged a perfect stranger

I am the creator of a television show

I came to the conclusion that only he could end it.

I can't believe he married meryl on the rebound.

I can't just up and go.

I changed my mind again.

I definitely he must still be in the room.

I demand that you cease transmission.

I didn't say anything.

I don't give a damn. Just find the son of a bitch.

I don't have anything for at least a month.

I don't know anything! Please stop!

I don't know how she's going to take this.

I don't know what to think, marlon.

I don't know what's going on. Reroute it back to me.

I don't know where he is, but he's gone.

I don't know.

I don't know. They're...

I don't like the look of that weather, son.

I don't really know. I guess I'm being spontaneous.

I don't understand.

I figure if we can sc**** together 8,000

I got 2 to 1 he doesn't make it.

I got a 6 pack of cold brewskis with our name on them.

I guess we picked up a police frequency or something.

I guess what I'm

I have been watching you your whole life.

I have given Truman a chance to lead a normal life.

I have love handles?

I have my seahaven bank card.

I hereby...

I invited Rita and marlon for a barbecue on Sunday.

I know it.

I know that things...

I know you better than you know yourself.

I know you're in here. I'm gonna find ya.

I know.

I know.

I looked out. There was people there.

I love that idea.

I love to reminisce with former members of the cast.

I made macaroni.

I mean, think about it, Truman.

I might as well pick one of these up.

I need to talk to you,

I need you to close.

I never stopped believing.

I predict

I really appreciate it.

I see him 10 times a week

I swear.

I swear. Dressed like a homeless man.

I think he's alive.

I think I'd like a little company.

I think I'm mixed up in something.

I think it's safe to say now that this crisis is behind us

I think this is about my dad.

I think we should head back.

I think what distresses you really, caller,

I think you should save for a few months

I thought we were going to try for a baby.

I told you I can't.

I understand.

I understand.

I wanna be your boy

I wanna be your boy

I wanna be your boy

I wanna check on the setups for the...

I want to get away

I want to go take a shower.

I was gonna call you, but halfway through,

I was just trying to train the kid to...

I was on pins and needles the entire time.

I was watching when you took your first step.

I was watching when you were born.

I was wondering how many cameras you got in that town.

I was wondering that myself.

I watched you on your first day of school.

I won't be here Sunday.

I wonder where he could possibly be.

I would like to book a flight to Fiji.

I would like to hold a grandchild in my arms

I, uh, have an appointment.

I'd gladly walk in front of traffic for you.

I'd have to be in on it, too.

I'd kill for a desk job.

I'd like to be an explorer,

I'll cross my fingers for you.

I'll just let someone else tidy up here.

I'll make it up to you, son.

I'll make other arrangements, ok?

I'll take her.

I'll tell you.

I'll try.

I'm a pretty dangerous character.

I'm afraid that that's not possible.

I'm being spontaneous!

I'm definitely being followed.

I'm determined television's first on air conception

I'm game.

I'm going away for a while.

I'm going to do it.

I'm going to have to call your mother when we get there.

I'm her father!

I'm her father!

I'm just I've been such a klutz all day.

I'm just a bus driver.

I'm meryl.

I'm not going to make it.

I'm not hungry.

I'm not in on it, Truman, because...

I'm not that anxious to get there.

I'm now making my primary incision

I'm on the Truman show!

I'm onto something, marlon. Something big.

I'm ready to go now. Why wait?

I'm so sorry I fell on you like that.

I'm so sorry to fall on you like that.

I'm sorry to keep you.

I'm sorry, son.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I don't know what got into me.

I'm sorry. I don't know what got into me.

I'm sorry. It's not up to me.

I'm sure he's got quite a story to tell.

I'm sure that's what caused him to break onto the set.

I'm telling you for the last time.

I'm telling you, if it wasn't him,

I'm Truman Burbank.

I've been your best friend since we were 7 years old.

I've never even seen him before.

If if he's in a coma, he's probably uninsurable.

If everybody is in on it...

If he could just hear my voice.

If he was absolutely determined to discover the truth,

If his was more than just a vague ambition,

If I die before I reach the summit,

If we don't go now, it won't happen.

If you don't meet your quota.

If you don't tell me what's happening, I'll report you!

In a hundred different faces.

In an upcoming episode,

In Camden village.

In case I don't see you...

In case I don't see you...

In competition with 5 other unwanted pregnancies,

In paradise, folks,

In the salon last Thursday.

In the summer for kaiser,

Increase the wind!

Increase the wind.

Is he going? Hallway camera.

Is he looking at us?

Is lie to you.

Is that it?

Is that meryl will be leaving Truman

Is that the best you can do?

Is that ultimately...

Is there any way around?

Is there anything I can do?

Is, in some respects, counterfeit,

Isn't that enough of an adventure?

Isolate the audio.

It could be like this all the way to Atlantic city.

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't sound insane at all, Truman.

It feels like the whole world revolves around me somehow.

It has been a singular honor and pleasure, sir.

It isn't always Shakespeare, but it's genuine.

It just plummeted down 10 flights.

It sometimes happens, and it can drive you crazy.

It starts following me along,

It takes...

It was dad.

It was his twin.

It was on the news last night.

It would be an adventure.

It's a bad time, ok? I'm way behind.

It's a chef's pal.

It's a life.

It's a noble life.

It's a show.

It's all gonna be fine.

It's all right.

It's all true. It's all real.

It's an obstruction Obstruction.

It's as simple as that.

It's been an overwhelmingly positive experience.

It's hard to tell.

It's how I look?

It's just beautiful.

It's just like rock and roll

It's just me.

It's me! Dad!

It's merely controlled.

It's none of your business.

It's not even worth thinking about.

It's not that simple.

It's nothing like that.

It's ok, Truman.

It's ok.

It's ok.

It's ok. It's just smoke.

It's ok. We're on fire!

It's on the...

It's perfect.

It's right next door to where you work.

It's Sylvia. My name's Sylvia.

It's the busy season.

It's unprofessional!

It's very sad.

It's way too early for that.

It's when I'm unpredictable, that's they can't...

It's...

Itchy feet?

Jean, Jodie, joanne.

Jeez!

Jesus, do you think he knows?

Jesus, they were identical.

Just about done with the square.

Just above the right knee.

Just between you and me, marlon...

Just get 'em down here.

Just had to wait for it. They were busy.

Just leave 'em in the car.

Just like you.

Just monsters. You know, that building,

Just tell me what's happening.

Keep it going. He's gone.

Keep running.

Keep up with him. He'll move fast.

Konnichi wa.

Lady...

Lauren, I don't know

Lauren, right?

Lauren, sweetheart, not again.

Lauren. Right, right.

Lauren. Right, right.

Lawrence: Vivien, your office.

Lawrence. Hey, Burbank.

Let me try.

Let's get another boat out there.

Let's get off this mast shot.

Let's get you out of these wet clothes, hmm?

Let's go back.

Let's go home.

Let's go now.

Let's go to Hollywood. You're on tru talk.

Let's see what else is on.

Let's talk!

Like the great Magellan.

Like we used to dream they would.

Like your whole life

Like, Friday?

Listen to me, Truman.

Listen to me. Everybody knows about you.

Little ones.

Look at him! Look at what you've done to him!

Look at that sunset, Truman.

Look what I got free at the checkout.

Look, meryl, same road, no cars. It's magic.

Look, Truman...

Look.

Loudspeaker: Red alert! This is a red alert!

Loves her fashion mags.

Making an ass of himself in front of the camera.

Man on radio: Oh, my God. He nearly hit her.

Man: Countdown to action.

Man: Good morning.

Man: Hey, hey. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

Man: Hey, I want a piece of that.

Man: Jesus! God in heaven!

Man: Jesus! God in heaven!

Man: Last call for Chicago!

Man: Stand by, one.

Man: That's a lot of cameras.

Man: Truman! It's television!

Man: Uh, yeah, hi, christof.

Man: Wait for the cue. Wait for the cue.

Man: Whoo!

Mardi gras! Whoo! Ha ha ha!

Marlon, find him. He's still in the room.

Marlon: Truman!

Marlon: Well...

Marlon: What are you talking about?

Marlon!

May I help you?

Maybe he's too kind.

Maybe I'm losing my mind, but...

Maybe just your love handles.

Maybe possibly...

Maybe somehow Oh, God.

Me, too.

Meryl: Can you please slow down?

Meryl: Can you please slow down?

Meryl: I know, I know. Shh, shh, shh.

Meryl: Truman, what are you doing?

Meryl: Truman!

Meryl: Truman?

Meryl: Truman.

Meryl: Truman...

Mike: Aha.

Mike: And all of it available in the Truman catalog.

Mike: But let's remind viewers exactly why

Mike: But there's never been anything to compare

Mike: His eagerness to leave his mother's womb

Mike: Incidentally, I believe Truman is the first child

Mike: Let's go to another call.

Mike: Most effective.

Mike: Well, aside from the heated comments

Mixed up in what?

Mm hmm. We gotta get out of here.

Mmm, mmm.

Mmm, no.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mom: Shh. Face the front.

Money,

Morning, ma'am.

Morning, Truman.

Morning!

Morning. Morning, Spencer.

Morning. Morning, Spencer.

Morning. Morning.

Moses: Brilliant, christof. Just brilliant.

Moses: Why are we looking at the water?

Mother: Oh, little angel.

Move back and... Fade up music.

Move in for a closeup?

Move like a cat

My life... Is my life, is the Truman show.

My son! Oh!

Near Florida?

Never found a place like this, though.

Never needs sharpening, dishwasher safe.

Next time, we'll have to file charges.

Next week would be better.

Nicely done.

No cue cards.

No scripts,
