Man : I knew these people, these two people. They were in love with each other. The girl was very young, about 17 or 18 I guess and the guy was quite a bit older. He was kind of rugged and wild. And she was very beautiful , you know. And together they turned everything into a kind of an adventure. And she liked that. Just an ordinary trip down the grocery store was full of adventure . They were always laughing at stupid things. They liked making love and they didn’t much care for anything else because all they wanted to do was be with each other. They were always together and he, he loved her more than he ever felt possible. He couldn’t stand being away from her (ah) during the day when he went to work. So he’d quit just to be home with her. Then he got another job when the money ran out. | |
And then he quit again. But pretty soon she started to worry. | |
Woman : About what? | |
Man : Money I guess. Not having enough. Not knowing when the next cheque was coming in. | |
Woman : Yea. I know that feeling. | |
Man : So he started to get kind of torn inside. | |
Woman: How do you mean? | |
Man: Well he knew he had to work to support her, but he couldn’t stand being away from her either. | |
Woman : Lassie! | |
Man : And the more he was away from her , the crazier he got. Except now he got really crazy. He started imagining all kinds of things. | |
Woman: Like what? | |
Man: He started thinking that she was seeing other men on the sly. He’d come home from work and accuse her of spending the day with somebody else. He’d yell at her and break things in the trailer. | |
Woman : The trailer……. | |
Man: Yes, they’d lived in a trailer home. Anyway, he started to drink real bad and he’d stay out late to test her to see if she’d get jealous. He wanted her to get jealous. But she didn’t. She just worried about him. But that got him even madder. He thought if she’d never be jealous of him that she didn’t really care about him. Jealousy was a sign of her love for him. And then one night, one night she told him that she was pregnant. She was about three or four months pregnant. And he didn’t even know. And then suddenly everything changed. He stopped drinking, got a steady job. He was convinced that she loved him now because she was carrying his child and he was going to dedicate himself to making a home for her. But the funny thing started to happen. He didn’t even know to set it first. She started to change. But the day the baby was born she began to get irritated with everything around her. She got mad at everything. Even the baby seemed to be an injustice to her. He kept trying to make everything all right for her. Buy her things, take her out to dinner once a week. But nothing seemed to satisfy her. About two years he struggled to pull them back together like they were when they first met. But finally he knew that it was never gonna work out. So he hit the bottle again. But this time it got mean. This time when he came out late at night, she wasn’t worried about him, nor jealous. | |
She was just enraged. She accused him of holding her captive by making her have a baby. She told him that she dreamed about escaping. That was all she dreamed about: escape. She saw herself at night running naked down a highway; running across fields; running down river beds; always running and always just when she was about to get away, he’d be there. He would stop her somehow. He would just appear and stop her. And when she told him these dreams, he believed them. He knew she had to be stopped when she’d leave him forever. So he tied a cow bell to her ankle so he could hear at night if she tried to get out of bed. But she learnt how to muffle the bell by stuffing her sock into it and inching her way out of the bed and into the night. He caught her one night when the sock fell out and he heard her trying to run off the highway. Caught her and dragged her back to the trailer and tied her to the stool with his belt. He just left her there, went back to bed and lay there listening to her scream. Then hae listened to his son scream and he was surprised at himself because he didn’t feel anything anymore. All he wanted to do was sleep. For the first time he wished he were far away, lost in the deep, vast country where nobody knew him. Somewhere without language or streets. And he dreamed about this place without knowing its name. And when he woke up he was on fire. There were blue flames burning the sheets of his bed, and he ran through the flames toward the only two people he loved. But they were gone. His arms were burning and he threw himself outside and rolled on the wet ground. Then he ran. He never looked back at the fire. He just ran. He ran until the sun came up and he couldn’t run any further. And when the sun went down, he ran again. For five days he ran like this until every sign of man had disappeared. |

[00:02.10] | Travis:我认识一些人,准确来说是两个人 |
[00:11.87] | 他们互相爱着对方 |
[00:16.95] | 那姑娘……大概十七八岁,我想 |
[00:24.66] | 那男的……要大很多 |
[00:29.85] | 他没什么文化,有点野 |
[00:34.18] | 她很漂亮,嗯 |
[00:38.85] | 他们在一起时,不管做什么都好像冒险一样 |
[00:44.38] | 她很喜欢那样 |
[00:47.36] | 是到食杂店跑一趟,也充满了刺激 |
[00:54.93] | 他们总是因为很愚蠢的事笑个不停 |
[00:58.21] | 他喜欢逗她笑,而且……他们也不太在乎其他什么事 |
[01:07.89] | 因为他们只想和对方在一起 |
[01:13.36] | 他们真的很幸福…… |
[01:17.54] | 他爱她的程度,超出了他自己的想象。 |
[01:25.60] | 他受不了不在她身边(唉) |
[01:29.29] | 当他白天上班的时候 |
[01:35.76] | 于是,他辞职不干了,只想在家和她在一起 |
[01:42.47] | 要是她们没钱了,他就再找份工作 |
[01:46.85] | 然后,他再一次辞职 |
[01:49.55] | 但是很快,她就开始担心了 |
[01:56.82] | Jane:为了什么? |
[01:57.96] | Travis:我想是为了钱,为了钱不够多 |
[02:01.30] | 为了不知道什么时候能拿到下一张支票 |
[02:06.02] | Jane:是。我了解那种感觉 |
[02:08.95] | Travis:于是他的内心开始…受折磨 |
[02:17.41] | Jane:什么意思? |
[02:19.90] | Travis:他知道自己不得不工作养活她, |
[02:22.98] | 但是他也无法忍受不在她身边 |
[02:27.81] | Jane:看来她是个小姑娘啊…… |
[02:29.60] | Travis:他越是不在她身边,他的内心就变得越疯狂 |
[02:34.28] | 现在,他是真的疯狂了 |
[02:40.85] | 他开始想象各种事情 |
[02:44.93] | Jane:比如呢? |
[02:48.56] | 他开始想象她背着他和别的男人约会 |
[02:54.14] | 他回家 |
[02:55.18] | 就会冤枉她跟别人鬼混 |
[02:59.66] | 他冲她大喊大叫,砸活动房车里的东西 |
[03:05.74] | Jane:房车…… |
[03:09.58] | Travis:对,他们曾经以一部房车为家 |
[03:17.88] | 他开始酗酒 |
[03:22.32] | 他呆在外面很晚回家,来试探她,看看她会不会嫉妒 |
[03:28.79] | 他想让她嫉妒 |
[03:30.93] | 然而她没有 |
[03:32.53] | 她只是为他担忧 |
[03:35.01] | 但这样一来,他就更生气 |
[03:37.40] | 因为……他觉得,如果她从来不为他妒忌的话 |
[03:38.85] | 她算不上真正地关心他 |
[03:42.03] | 对他来说,嫉妒代表她是爱他的 |
[03:46.46] | 有一天晚上,她告诉他 |
[03:50.79] | 她怀孕了 |
[03:53.23] | 她当时有大概3、4个月的身孕 |
[03:56.11] | 他却一点也不知道 |
[03:58.51] | 于是,事情一下子都变了 |
[04:01.75] | 他不再酗酒,他找到一个稳定的工作 |
[04:05.78] | 他确信她是爱他的 |
[04:07.52] | 因为她怀着他的孩子 |
[04:10.91] | 他要全心全意地给她造一个家 |
[04:15.98] | 可是,滑稽的事情开始发生 |
[04:18.62] | -一开始,他都没注意到 |
[04:21.11] | 她开始变了 |
[04:23.99] | 从孩子生下来开始 |
[04:25.74] | 什么东西她都看不顺眼 |
[04:28.72] | 什么事他都惹她生气 |
[04:31.66] | 对她来说,即使那个孩子,也好像是不公平的象征 |
[04:35.29] | 他试图讨好顺着她 |
[04:38.24] | 给她买东西,每周带她出去吃饭 |
[04:42.62] | 但是,这些都无法满足她 |
[04:45.60] | 两年的时间里,他努力挣扎着挽回两人的一切 |
[04:49.34] | 希望能回到他们刚刚相遇的那样 |
[04:52.58] | 最终,他知道那没可能 |
[04:58.55] | 于是,他又开始酗酒 |
[05:00.84] | 这一次,情况更糟了 |
[05:04.03] | 当他很晚回家时 |
[05:06.51] | 她既不担心他,也不妒忌 |
[05:09.95] | 她只有愤怒 |
[05:13.83] | 她责怪他束缚她,让她给他生孩子 |
[05:20.21] | 她告诉他,她梦想着逃走 |
[05:23.30] | 那是她全部的梦想:逃走 |
[05:27.24] | 她梦见自己,在高速公路上赤身裸体地跑 |
[05:31.12] | 跑过原野 |
[05:33.31] | 沿着红河河床奔跑 |
[05:35.40] | 一直跑,可是,往往就在她要逃脱的时候 |
[05:39.93] | 他就出现了 |
[05:41.92] | 他会阻止她…… |
[05:45.25] | 他总是出来阻止她 |
[05:50.73] | 而当她告诉他这些梦的时候,他信了 |
[05:55.31] | 他知道自己一定要阻止她,不然,她就会永远地离开他 |
[05:59.34] | 于是,他在她脚踝上系了一个牛铃 |
[06:02.03] | 要是晚上她想下床,他能听得见 |
[06:06.01] | 可她学会往牛铃里塞袜子,不出响动 |
[06:10.09] | 然后一步一步地挪下床,逃到夜色里 |
[06:16.17] | 一天晚上,袜子掉出来了,他抓住了她 |
[06:18.35] | 他听到她在往高速公路上跑 |
[06:20.84] | 他抓住她,把她拖回到活动房车里 |
[06:23.33] | 用他的皮带把她绑在炉子上 |
[06:28.56] | 他就把她留在那儿 |
[06:30.45] | 他回到床上,躺在那里听着她尖叫 |
[06:37.22] | 他儿子也在哭喊,他自己都很诧异 |
[06:42.89] | 居然什么也感觉不到 |
[06:48.56] | 他只想睡觉 |
[06:53.79] | 他头一次,希望自己远离这里 |
[07:01.71] | 沉睡去 |
[07:03.00] | 消失在一个遥远辽阔的农村 |
[07:06.49] | 没有人认识他,不需要语言 |
[07:12.06] | 他在梦中就徜徉在这个不知道名字的地方 |
[07:16.29] | 当他醒来时,他身上着火了 |
[07:20.27] | 蓝色的火苗,吞噬着床单 |
[07:26.49] | 他冲过烈焰,奔向他唯一爱着的两个人 |
[07:32.92] | 但他们都不在了,他胳膊烧着了 |
[07:39.39] | 他跑到外面,在湿地上滚灭了火 |
[07:48.00] | 然后,他开始跑 |
[07:51.24] | 他再也没回头看那火焰 |
[07:56.29] | 他只是跑 |
[08:04.32] | 直到太阳升起,他再也跑不动了 |
[08:12.63] | 但当太阳落山,他又会重新跑起来 |
[08:22.98] | 就像这样循环反复,他跑了5天 |
[08:27.61] | 直到他作为人的一切标记……都消失了。 |
