424
00:30:56,510 --> 00:30:58,137
You shot at me before

425
00:30:58,813 --> 00:30:59,837
Yes

426
00:31:02,016 --> 00:31:04,780
l' m sorty, l regret that

427
00:31:05,419 --> 00:31:06,681
You ran away

428
00:31:07,321 --> 00:31:11,257
But shooting at you
certainly didn't help matters

429
00: 31:11,926 --> 00:31:14,793
Of course not
You're, far, far too stubborn

430
00:31:17,798 --> 00:31:19,231
lf you don't want to kill me
then why did you come?

431
00:31:19,900 --> 00:31:21,162
Our last conversation

432
00:31:21,802 --> 00:31:24,066
the one in which you told me
what it was you didn't like about me

433
00:31:24,705 --> 00:31:27,674
never really concluded
as you ran away

434
00:31:28,309 --> 00:31:29,708
l should be allowed to tell you

435
00:31:30,311 --> 00:31:31,107
what l don't like about you

436
00:31:31,712 --> 00:31:33,680
That l believe

437
00:31:34,315 --> 00:31:37,113
would be a rule
of polite conversation, you know

438
00:31:37,718 --> 00:31:39,515
That's why you showed up?

439
00:31:42,923 --> 00:31:44,982
And you call me stubborn

440
00:31:45,626 --> 00:31:47,526
You're sure
you're not here to force me

441
00:31:47,628 --> 00:31:49,823
to go back and
become like you?

442
00 :31:49,930 --> 00:31:52,296
lf l thought there was a chance
of forcing you

443
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:56,097
but of course
that will never happen

444
00:31:56,704 - -> 00:31:58,763
You are more
more than welcome

445
00:32:00,908 --> 00:32:02,239
to return home and

446
00:32:02,810 --> 00:32:05,802
become my daughter again
anytime and

447
00:32:06,914 --> 00:32:09,405
l would even begin to

448
00:32:10,017 --> 00:32:14,511
share my power and responsibility
with you if you did

449
00:32:15,222 -- > 00:32:17,349
Not that you care

450
00:32:17,925 --> 00:32:19,415
So what is it?

451
00:32:20,027 --> 00:32:22,757
What is it, the thing. ..
the thing that you don't like about me?

452
00:32:23,331 --> 00:32:25,128
lt was a word you used
that provoked me

453
00:32:25,700 --> 00:32:27,930
You called me arrogant

454
00:32:28,502 --> 00:32:30,436
To plunder
as it were a God given right

455
00:32:31,005 --> 00:32:31,733
l'd call that arrogant, daddy

456
00:32:32,306 --> 00:32:35,070
But that is exactly
what l don 't like about you

457
00:32:35,710 --> 00:32:36,870
lt is you that is arrogant!

458
00:32:37,511 --> 00:32:38,944
That's what you came here say?

459
00: 32:43,217 --> 00:32:46,653
l'm not the one passing
judgment, Daddy, you are

460
00:32:48,222 --> 00:32:50,156
No, you do not pass judgment

461
00:32: 50,825 --> 00:32:51,849
because you sympathize with them

462
00:32:52,526 --> 00:32:53,959
A deprived childhood

463
00:32:54,628 --> 00:32:59,122
and a homicide really isn't
necessarily a homicide, right?

464
00:32:59,800 - -> 00:33:02,064
The only thing you can blame
is circumstances

465
00:33:02,703 --> 00:33:04,466
Rapists and murderers

466
00:33:05,706 --> 00:33:08,004
may be the victims
according to you, but

467
00:33:08,609 --> 00:33:10,201
l call them dogs

468
00:33:10,811 --> 00:33:12,403
and if they're lapping up
their own vomit

469
00: 33:13,013 --> 00:33:14,412
the only way to stop them
is with the lash

470
00:33:15,015 --> 00:33:19,418
But dogs only obey their own nature
So why shouldn't we forgive them?

471
00:33:20,321 --> 00 :33:22,721
Dogs can be taught
many useful things

472
00:33:23,324 --> 00:33:28,227
but not if we forgive them evety time
they obey their own nature

473
00:33:40,307 --> 00:33 :41,831
So, l'm arrogant

474
00:33:42,510 --> 00:33:44,842
l'm arrogant because
l forgive people?

475
00:33:45,413 --> 00:33:46,345
My God

476
00: 33:46,914 --> 00:33:50,315
Can't you see how condescending
you are when you say that?

477
00:33:51,318 --> 00:33:56,551
You have this preconceived notion
that nobody, listen

478
00:33:57,224 --> 00:33: 59,454
that nobody can't possibly attain

479
00:34:00,027 --> 00:34:02,257
the same high
ethical standards as you

480
00:34:02,830 --> 00:34:03,660
so you exonerate them

481
00: 34:04,198 --> 00:34:08,726
l can not think of anything
more arrogant than that

482
00:34:09,303 --> 00:34:10,634
You, my child...

483
00:34:11,205 -- > 00:34:12,331
my dear child

484
00:34:12,907 --> 00:34:14,966
you forgive others with excuses

485
00:34:15,609 --> 00:34:17,975
that you would never in the world
permit for yourself

486
00:34:18,612 -- > 00:34:20,671
Why shouldn't l be merciful?
Why?

487
00:34:21,315 --> 00:34:23,783
No, no, no You should,
you should be merciful

488
00:34:24,418 -- > 00:34:26,079
when there is time to be merciful

489
00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:28,881
But you must maintain
your own standard

490
00:34:29,523 --> 00:34:32,185
You owe them that
You owe them that

491
00:34:33,027 --> 00:34:36,087
The penalty you deserve
for your transgressions

492
00:34:36,730 --> 00:34:38,664
they deserve
for their transgressions

493
00:34:39,300 --> 00: 34:40,460
- they are human beings
- No, no, no

494
00:34:41,101 --> 00:34:44,468
Does evety human being need to be
accountable for their actions?

495
00:34:45,105 --> 00 :34:45,571
Of course they do

496
00:34:46,207 --> 00:34:47,504
But you don't even give them
that chance

497
00:34:48,209 --> 00:34:51,906
And that is extremely arrogant
l love you, l love you

498
00:34:52,513 --> 00:34:53,810
l love you to death

499
00:34:54,415 --> 00:34:57,816
But you are the most
arrogant person l have ever met

500
00:34:58,419 --> 00:35:00,011
And you call me arrogant!

501
00:35:04,725 --> 00:35:08,217
l have no more to say

502
00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:14,898
You are arrogant, l'm arrogant
You've said it, now you can leave

503
00:35:15,503 --> 00:35:18,404
And without my daughter,
l suppose?

504
00:35:22,209 --> 00:35 :23,039
Uhm...

505
00:35:24,211 --> 00:35:26,441
- l said without my daughter?
- Hmm, yes!

506
00:35:28,215 --> 00:35:30,149
- Well
- Yes

507
00:35:30,718 --> 00:35:33,152
Well, you decide, you decide

508
00:35:36,423 --> 00:35:40,757
Grace, they say you are having
some trouble here

509
00:35:41,829 --> 00:35:42,659
No

510
00:35:43,998 --> 00:35:46,228
No more trouble than back home

511
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,825
l'll give you a little time
to think about this

512
00:35:49,403 --> 00:35:50,529
Perhaps you will change your mind

513
00:35:51,205 --> 00:35:52,035
l won't

514
00:35:52,706 --> 00:35:54,071
Listen, my love...

515
00:35:55,009 --> 00:35:58,467
power is not so bad...
l am sure

516
00:35: 59,113 --> 00:36:03,777
that you can find a way
to make use of it in your own fashion...

517
00:36:06,921 --> 00:36:09,082
Take a walk and think about it

518
00 :36:09,723 --> 00:36:11,486
The people who live here

519
00:36:13,928 --> 00:36:16,988
are doing their best under

520
00:36:18,299 --> 00:36:20,460
vety hard circumstances

521
00:36:21,101 --> 00:36:22,966
lf you say so, Grace

522
00:36:25,005 --> 00:36:28,702
But is their best

523
00:36:30,210 --> 00:36:32,007
really good enough?

524
00:36:34,014 --> 00:36:35,311
Do they love you?

525
00:36:45,626 --> 00:36:48,220
Grace had already
thought for a long time

526
00:36:48,829 --> 00:36:52,196
She had known that if she were not shot
when the gangsters arrived

527
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,496
she would be faced with her father's
suggestion that she return

528
00:36:56,203 --> 00:36:59,195
to become a conspirator with him
and his gang of thugs and felons

529
00:36:59,807 --> 00:37:03,538
and she did not need any walk
to reconsider her response to that

530
00:37:04,912 --> 00:37:07,642
Even though the difference between
the people she knew back home

531
00:37:08,215 --> 00:37:09,739
and the people
she'd met in Dogville

532
00:37:10,317 --> 00:37:13,753
had proven somewhat slighter
than she'd expected

533
00: 37:15,623 --> 00:37:20,060
Grace looked at the gooseberty bushes
so fragile in the smooth darkness

534
00:37:20,628 --> 00:37:23,654
lt was good to know that
if you did not treat them ill

535
00:37:24,198 --> 00:37:26,428
they would be there
come spring as always

536
00:37:27,001 --> 00:37:28,229
and come summer they'd again

537
00:37:28,802 -- > 00:37:32,135
be bursting with the quite
incomprehensible quantity of berries

538
00:37:32,706 --> 00:37:36,972
that were so good in pies
specially with cinnamon

539
00:37:39,213 --> 00:37 :41,773
Grace looked around at the frightened
faces behind the windowpanes

540
00:37:42,416 --> 00:37:43,883
that were following
her evety step

541
00:37:44,518 --> 00:37:47,885
and felt ashamed of being
part of inflicting that fear

542
00:37:50,224 --> 00:37:51,191
How could she ever hate them

543
00:37:51,825 --> 00:37:54,692
for what was at bottom
merely their weakness?

544
00 :37:55,429 --> 00:37:58,262
She would probably have done things
like those that had befallen her

545
00:37:58,899 --> 00:38:00,867
if she'd lived
in one of these houses

546
00 :38:01,502 --> 00:38:05,165
to measure them by her own yardstick
as her father put it

547
00:38:05,906 --> 00:38:07,498
Would she not, in all honesty

548
00:38: 08,208 --> 00:38:09,800
have done the same as Chuck

549
00:38:10,411 --> 00:38:13,903
and Vera and Ben
and Mrs. Henson

550
00:38:14,615 --> 00:38:15,604
and Tom

551
00:38:16,216 --> 00:38:18,912
and all these people
in their houses?

552
00:38:22,523 --> 00:38:24,616
Grace paused

553
00:38:25,526 --> 00:38:30,020
And while she did , the clouds scattered
and let the moonlight through

554
00:38:37,805 --> 00:38:41,741
and Dogville underwent another of those
little changes of light

555
00:38:55,422 --> 00:38:58,653
lt was if the light, previously
so merciful and faint

556
00:38:59,226 --> 00:39:03,356
finally refused to cover up
for the town any longer

557
00:39:04,198 --> 00:39:05,722
Suddenly you could
no longer imagine

558
00 :39:06,300 --> 00:39:08,632
a berty that would appear one day
on a gooseberty bush

559
00:39:09,203 --> 00:39:12,331
but only see the thorn
that was there right now

560
00: 39:13,507 --> 00:39:17,671
The light now penetrated evety
unevenness and flaw in the buildings...

561
00:39:18,312 --> 00:39:18,778
and

562
00:39:19,413 --> 00 :39:20,778
in... the people!

563
00:39:24,218 --> 00:39:29,087
And all of a sudden she knew
the answer to her question all to well

564
00:39:30,324 --> 00:39:32,087
lf she had acted like them

565
00:39:32,726 --> 00:39:35,786
she could not have defended
a single one of her actions

566
00:39:36,430 --> 00:39:39,456
and could not have condemned
them harshly enough

567
00:39:40,300 --> 00:39:45,761
lt was as if her sorrow and pain
finally assumed their rightful place

568
00:39:46,406 --> 00:39:47,395
No

569 00:39
: 48,208 --> 00:39:50,904
What they had done
was not good enough

570
00:39:51,812 --> 00:39:53,712
And if one had the power
to put it to rights,

571
00:39:54,314 --> 00:39:56,009
it was one's duty to do so

572
00:39:56,617 --> 00:39:58,414
for the sake of the other towns

573
00:39:59,019 --> 00:40:00,714
For the sake of humanity

574
00:40:01,822 --> 00:40:02,413
And not least

575
00:40:03,023 --> 00:40:04,820
for the sake of the human being

576
00:40:05,425 --> 00:40:07,416
that was Grace herself

577
00: 40:16,403 --> 00:40:18,496
lf l went back and

578
00:40:19,907 --> 00:40:21,841
became your daughter again

579
00:40:23,210 --> 00:40:26,236
when would l be given the power
you're talking about?

580
00:40:30,517 --> 00:40:32,951
- Now?
- At once

581
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:34,851
Why not?

582
00:40:40,427 --> 00:40:43,260
So that would mean that
l'd also take on the immediate

583
00:40:43,831 --> 00:40:46,322
responsibilities at once

584
00:40:47,201 --> 00:40:49,726
l'd be a part
in the problem solving. ..

585
00:40:51,305 --> 00:40:52,829
Like the problem...

586
00:40:53,407 --> 00:40:54,669
of Dogville

587
00:41:00,814 --> 00:41:01,781
We can start by

588
00:41:02,416 --> 00:41:05,180
shooting a dog
and nailing it to a wall

589
00:41:05,819 --> 00:41:06,877
Over there

590
00:41:07,521 --> 00:41:09,489
beneath that lamp, for example

591
00:41:10,624 -- > 00:41:12,489
Well, it might help
lt sometimes does

592
00:41:13,126 --> 00:41:15,390
lt would only make
the town more frightened,

593
00:41:16,029 --> 00:41: 19,055
but hardly make it a better place

594
00:41:21,201 --> 00:41:22,964
And it could happen again

595
00:41:23,904 --> 00:41:29,001
Somebody happening by
revealing...

596
00:41:33,714 --> 00: 41:35,409
...their frailty

597
00:41:40,220 --> 00:41:43,314
That's what l wanna use the power for
if you don't mind

598
00:41:47,227 --> 00:41:50,788
l wanna make this world
a little better

599
00:41:54,401 --> 00:41:55,095
Yeah

600
00:41:55,702 --> 00:41:56,896
That damn kid won't shut up

601
00:41: 57,504 --> 00:41:59,301
Says he wants to talk to you, Miss

602
00:41:59,907 --> 00:42:01,636
Can we just shoot him now?

603
00:42:03,010 --> 00:42:05,035
No, no, no
let me talk to him

604
00:42:09,616 --> 00:42:10,241
What?

605
00:42:10,817 --> 00:42:11,943
What is it?

606
00:42:14,221 --> 00:42:17,952
A man can't really be blamed
for being scared now, can he?

607
00:42:18,525 --> 00:42:20,755
No, that's true

608
00:42:21,328 --> 00:42:22,955
No, l'm scared, Grace

609
00 :42:23,530 --> 00:42:25,828
l used you, and l'm sorty

610
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:31,235
l am stupid, l am
Maybe even arrogant sometimes

611
00:42:33,206 --> 00:42:34,764
You are, Tom

612
00:42:37,210 --> 00:42:39,770
Although using people
is not vety charming

613
00:42:40,414 - -> 00:42:42,075
l think you have to agree
that this

614
00:42:42,716 --> 00:42:45,879
specific illustration
has surpassed all expectations

615
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,181
lt says so much about being human

616
00:42:49,022 --> 00:42:49,784
lt's been painful

617
00:42:50,424 --> 00:42:52,289
But l think you also have to agree
it has been edifying

618
00:42:52,926 --> 00:42:55,588
- Wouldn't you say?
- Not now, Tom

619
00:42:56,229 --> 00:42:56,991
Not now

620
00:43:01,802 --> 00:43:05,670
lf there is any town this world would be
better without, this is it

621
00:43:11,511 --> 00:43:11,909
Yes?

622
00:43:12,512 --> 00:43:14,412
Shoot them
and burn down the town

623
00:43:19,019 --> 00:43:19,917
What?

624
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,420
Something else, honey?

625
00:43:23,023 -- > 00:43:25,423
There is a family with kids...

626
00:43:28,228 --> 00:43:31,095
Do the kids first
and make the mother watch

627
00:43:31,698 --> 00:43:35,498
Tell her you will stop
if she can hold back her tears

628
00:43:39,706 --> 00:43:41,230
l owe her that

629
00:43:48,215 --> 00:43:51,048
l'm afraid she cries
a little too easily

630
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,252
We've better get you out of here

631
00:43:58,225 --> 00:44:00,352
l'm afraid, you've learned
far too much already

632
00:44:07,401 --> 00:44:09,028
Are you cold, Sweetie

633
00:44 :09,603 --> 00:44:11,127
Do you need a wrap?

634
00:44:11,905 --> 00:44:13,133
l'm fine

635
00:44:16,510 --> 00:44:17,772
You want the curtains opened?

636
00:44:18,412 --> 00:44: 19,674
You don't need them anymore

637
00:44:20,514 --> 00:44:21,481
What do you think?

638
00:44:28,021 --> 00:44:30,080
l think we should open them

639
00: 44:31,625 --> 00:44:33,991
l think it's appropriate

640
00:44:51,912 --> 00:44:52,970
No!

641
00:44:54,514 --> 00:44:56,539
No, no
Oh, God, no!

642
00:44:57,117 --> 00:44:59,176
No, no, no!

643
00:45:05,625 --> 00:45:08,458
- Mom, dad!
- No!

644
00:45:09,029 --> 00:45:11,224
- Dad!
- No!

645
00:45:19,306 --> 00:45:20,432
Mom!

646
00:45:22,109 --> 00:45:26,443
Mom!
Mom help! Help!

647
00:45:27,013 --> 00:45:28,173
Mom!

648
00:46:31,011 --> 00:46:32,205
Bingo Grace!

649
00 :46:35,215 --> 00:46:36,113
Bingo!

650
00:46:38,518 --> 00:46:41,919
l have to tell you, your illustration
beat the hell out of mine

651
00:46:44,724 -- > 00:46:46,624
lt's frightening, yes

652
00:46:47,727 --> 00:46:49,524
but so clear

653
00:46:50,797 --> 00:46:53,095
Do you think that l can
allow myself to use it as a

654
00:46:53,700 --> 00:46:56,601
inspiration in my writing

655
00 :47:05,812 --> 00:47:07,439
Goodbye, Tom

656
00:47:34,241 --> 00:47:36,573
Some things you have to do
yourself

657
00:47:37,844 --> 00:47:38,970
Really?

658
00:47:42,649 --> 00:47:45,083
That one you're gonna have
to explain to me on the way home

659
00:47:47,153 --> 00:47:48,586
Suddenly there was a noise

660
00:47:49,256 --> 00:47:50,382
Not so persuasive and powerful

661
00:47:51,057 --> 00:47:53,787
as it had been on
one rainy night in spring

662
00:47:54,461 --> 00:47:56,793
but loud enough to work
its way through the final sighs of

663
00:47:57,430 --> 00:47:59,557
the timber
that was rapidly burning out

664
00:48:01,234 --> 00:48:04,067
lt came again
Evetyone heard it

665
00:48 :04,738 --> 00:48:06,569
Grace was the first to recognize it

666
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:07,763
That's Moses

Dogville quotes

  • Narrator: How could she ever hate them for what was at bottom merely their weakness? She would probably have done things like those that had befallen her if she had lived in one of these houses. To measure them by her own yardstick, as her father put it. Would she not, in all honesty, have done the same as Chuck and Vera and Ben and Mrs Henson and Tom and all these people in their houses? Grace paused and as she did, the clouds scattered and let the moonlight through, and Dogville underwent another of those little changes of light. It was as if the light previously so merciful and faint finally refused to cover up for the town any longer. Suddenly, you could no longer imagine a berry that would appear one day on a gooseberry bush, but only see the thorn that was there right now. The light now penetrated every unevenness and flaw in the buildings and in the people. And all of a sudden, she knew the answer to her question all too well. If she had acted like them, she could not have defended a single one of her actions and could not have condemned them harshly enough. It was as if her sorrow and pain finally assumed their rightful place. No. What they had done was not good enough. And if one had the power to put it to rights, it was one's duty to do so - for the sake of other towns, for the sake of humanity and not least, for the sake of the human being that was Grace herself.

  • Narrator: [as McKay explores even further with his hand] It was not Grace's pride that kept her going during the days when fall came and the trees were losing their leaves, but more of a trance like state that descends on animals whose lives are threatened - a state in which the body reacts mechanically in a low tough gear, without too much painful reflection. Like a patient passively letting his disease hold sway.
