Listen to “Eyes Without A Face” by Billy Idol.
Lacey walks out of the Gold Room with Lem. In 1980. They’re heading to their car. To go back to Denver.
They say their goodbyes to Tom Banks. They worry about the state of his heart. He seems okay? He hasn’t had a heart attack yet, in this scenario. And Lem doesn’t want to lose his other father, just yet. But he’s strong and it helps to have a wife to be strong for. It makes being strong seem…like…something.
Tom does have a heart attack, in a year. At home. But he doesn’t die for another 10 years.
Listen to “Non, je ne regrette rien” as performed by Édith Piaf.
Enter Stanley Kubrick.

Listen to “Padam, Padam” as performed by Édith Piaf.

And…that was part of reason…they were taken so seriously, by the German people. Wallis Simpson and Edward…loved each other, deeply. And…they appreciated that…the Germans truly appreciated love.
When a grown German man saw a 1936 Nazi…shoot a man who had molested his neighbor’s son…and the look of relief on the boy’s face…he was…convinced. The only way out of HELL was violence. …Some sort of righteous violence.
Nazi Germany was a result of the collapse of the German economy after World War I. So…they too tried selling kids, just as America actually has. Bobby Kennedy Junior is…not to be trusted…and yet, he makes interesting points.
