Being There (1979) Edit

A cigar, then?

A criminal record? A membership in a subversive organization?

A dash of American humor.

A flower.

A garden needs a lot of care and a lot of love.

A garden? What are you growing, man?

A leader capable of guiding us through the bad seasons, as well as the good?

A long time ago, people didn't have television...

A long time ago, people didn't have television...

A small black man gave me a message for Raphael.

According to our inventories, there hasn't been a man employed here since 1933.

Actually, I found him to have quite a sense of humor.

After a man's lost everything...

After all, they're our strongest defense against the pollutants...

Ain't you the gentleman this morning.

All kidding aside, Mr. Chance, may I ask just what you're doing here?

All right, it's set.

All right. Get this. Pete Montana 's through.

All set.

Almost.

An attorney? Yes.

An old habit that goes along with power: Keep them waiting.

And all will be well...

And appreciate the times when the trees are bare...

And Ben, thank you for your time and thought.

And Ben's friends are...

And fall and winter? Yes.

And filling in for the Vice President.

And I do agree with the President

And I don't want to go against his wishes...

And I reveal myself to myself and I am drenched...

And I think you're just the man to take charge of an institution like that.

And I've remained honest to myself.

And if you don't see a clock...

And if you give your garden...

And it was 95 percent pro.

And make it snappy.

And nobody ever crashed the gate except Pete Montana.

And now, the piece of resistance...

And on top of everything else, holds a degree in medicine as well as law.

And over here, we plant something different every year.

And swimmer's what?

And that something is you.

And that's the gardener's house.

And the mail and telephone response from his appearance on that Burns Show...

And the scuttlebutt is he's a strong candidate for a seat

And then boom boom and boom boom.

And then we get spring and summer again.

And there is plenty of room...

And they look very much alike.

And they would put pictures like these...

And they would put pictures like these...

And this is Mrs. Skrapinov.

And this is the greenhouse.

And we want to remain seated on them, correct?

And when you watch me, my passion...

And where have you been all my life?

And you know what that means? No.

And you really are a gardener, aren't you?

And you take care, too, Bobby.

And your coat buttoned. Yes, ma 'am.

And your comments on the television show are quoted alongside the President's.

And yours, Chauncey Gardiner.

And, Chauncey,

And?

Any political future I had is right down the toilet.

Anybody who'd try to stop him has to be totally stupid.

Anyway, the President has volunteered to sit in for Ben at the convention.

Aplastic anemia.

Are you going somewhere?

Are you going to die now?

Are you going to leave and close this house when Ben dies?

Are you kidding? We were inseparable.

Are you planning on making any sort of claim against the Rands?

Are you proficient in other languages? He's so modest, Ambassador Gaufridi.

Are you related to Basil and Perdita Gardiner?

Are you related to the deceased?

Are you there?

Are you waiting for someone? An appointment?

As in a garden of the earth, let us learn to accept

As long as the roots are not severed...

Because I have a message for him.

Because nobody knows what death is.

Because, if one goes, the other goes.

Before I was born.

Ben is very ill, Eve. I've seen that before.

Ben is very wise.

Ben told me that the President was very taken with you this morning.

Ben understands my feelings for you, by the way, and he accepts them.

Ben, did you read my speech?

Ben, I mean...

Ben, I was wondering if you had a chance... Yes?

Ben.

Better than yours, so I've been told. You heard about it?

Big Bird, we came to see you drive.

Bobby.

Bravo, sir. Outstanding!

Bravo.

Bullshit!

But after a year in the hospital, he went back to school...

But first, some things must wither.

But I found that...

But I have decided there are no temporary stopgaps.

But I think, Mr. President, that it is very dangerous

But I'll tell you right now, Bobby...

But I've tried, Chauncey, believe me, I've tried...

But I've tried...

But it's a rather large contusion and I'd like to keep an eye on him...

But our firm has no record of any such transactions.

But there's something in the wind. Something rather big in the wind, I'd say.

But they cannot determine his ethnic background.

But they're really photographs. Take a careful look at them.

But this is facing west.

But what caught Gary's interest was your down to earth philosophy.

But what makes my blood boil...

But, sir, you must've at least glanced at it. I did not glance at it.

But, sir...

But, you work on the idea.

By the way, Mr. Gardiner, I'd like to ask you something straight out.

Call me, or have your attorney call me...

Certainly. This is Dr. Robert Allenby.

Chance, the gardener.

Chance?

Chance?

Chance.

Chauncey

Chauncey Gardiner, Mr. Rand's close friend and advisor, was at the meeting this morning.

Chauncey Gardiner? Mr. Chauncey Gardiner.

Chauncey,

Chauncey, I'm just so very grateful that you're here with us.

Chauncey, I've never seen anyone handle the press the way you do.

Chauncey, there you are. What are you doing on that leg?

Chauncey, where did you go?! Chauncey...!!!

Chauncey? Yes?

Chauncey.

Chauncey...

Chauncey...

Chauncey...

Chauncey's fine.

Claim.

Come in.

Come on, Chauncey.

Come on, now, wait a minute, Chauncey.

Come on, Sally, let's grab a bite.

Come right in. It's an all girl show.

Come, sit down. Take a load off your feet.

Computers have analyzed his...

Constance, I want fresh blood for dinner.

Correct. That could be an asset. A man's past cripples him.

Could you give us the name of your doctor or your dentist?

Could you please tell me where I could find a garden to work in?

Darling, what's wrong?

Decoral. Five milligrams.

Did she do a good job? Yes, it looked just like this.

Did that chicken shit asshole Raphael send you, boy?

Did you happen to have a chance to go... Yes?

Did you lose something?

Do that. Good day.

Do well in the sun...

Do you agree with Ben, or do you think we can stimulate growth through...

Do you know Raphael?

Do you mean that you find television's coverage of the news

Do you need a secretary?

Do you realize more people will be watching you tonight

Do you remember what I was talking to you about last night?

Do you think so?

Does he?

Does it have a television?

Does this house have a garden? Why, yes. Many.

Doesn't a country need to have someone in charge

Doesn't seem to be too serious.

Don't be frightened of it. It's important to know that, yes, you could roll over.

Don't leave me alone with him for too long.

Don't worry, he might be a breath of fresh air.

Don't you think?

Elevator.

Elevator.

Eve is staying.

Ever since I can remember.

Ever since I was a child I've worked in this garden.

Ever watch a game on TV and see the players chugging down this stuff?

Ever wonder why?

Everyone seems to make such a to do out of a simple little accident.

Except for a Mr. Joe Saracini...

Excuse me, but would you tell me your name again?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. That tree is very sick. It needs care.

Feeling so good it shows. Because Posturepedic is designed...

Feels terrible.

Fertilize it.

Fine.

First American Financial Corporation?

First comes spring and summer...

Flash cards for schools or something.

For Christ's sakes, we've got volumes of data on Rand.

Founder and Chairman of the Board,

Gardiner, yes, sir. And I'd like it sometime today.

Gardiner.

Gardiner. Gardiner. Chauncey. Chauncey Gardiner.

Gardiner's laconic. He plays his cards very close to the chest

Gary's ready for you now. Yes.

Gentlemen, let us not fear the inevitable chill and storms of autumn and winter.

Get Baldwin and Honeycutt over here. I'll be right down.

Getting rid of the dead wood

Give me your hand.

Go, Chauncey, I'll be just fine.

Gobbledygook!

Good day, Mr. Chance.

Good day, Sally. Good day, Thomas.

Good day, sir. Good day.

Good evening, ma'am.

Good luck. Good luck.

Good morning, Louise.

Good morning, Mr. Rand. Good morning, gentlemen.

Good.

Good.

Good. Yes. We're fine.

Good. Of course.

Goodbye, Chance.

Goodbye, Louise.

Goodnight, Chauncey.

Goodnight, Eve.

Goodnight, Eve.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Got that, boy?

Guess it ought to be an old lady.

Have it in my office, tomorrow at 7:00.

Have you read the newspapers?

Have you seen the garden?

He and my father used to ride together, back in the '30s.

He could never take an election. Correct.

He does talk like one. But I think he's brilliant.

He had no brains at all.

He is different, isn't he?

He just never advertises his accomplishments.

He liked you so much. He really did.

He makes a thing of value for his family...

He makes me feel good.

He must have been involved on some major financial level

He presented them with a statue of the American eagle...

He reminds me of the old man.

He said it was his. He walked us through it.

He showed us a room in the garage where he said he stayed, and...

He told me that he had been living there since he was a child...

He was here for two and a half days in 1952.

He was very clever, keeping it at a third grade level, that's what they understand.

He was very fat, had short hair...

He wasn't breathing...

He waters it...

He would, would he? Yes.

He...

He'll lift his left forefinger to his left eyebrow. All right?

He's a decent fellow, isn't he, the President?

He's been on television.

He's dead, Chance.

He's dead, you know. Dead, my ass.

He's gone, Chauncey.

He's not there. Not there?

He's on both lines.

He's resting now, and there's no cause for alarm.

He's such a kind and sensitive man.

He's very attractive.

He's very, very sexy.

Head in the hole.

Hell, I don't know.

Hello, Big Boy. Hello, Rico.

Hello, Gary.

Hello, Mr. Hull? Mr. Gardiner has agreed to do the show.

Hello, Mr. President.

Hello, Ronald. How are you?

Hello, Thomas. I'm Chance, the gardener.

Hello, Vladimir.

Hello.

Here I am getting along in years...

Here is my closet.

Here, I'll show you another one.

Here?

Here. I want your shoulders to go right on this pad.

Hi, neighbor. There's somebody at the door.

Hi. Hi. I'm Riff. Secret Service.

Hi. How do you do? Hello.

Highly unlikely, sir.

His background turns into a swamp and invites scrutiny.

His suits...

His underwear, all of the finest cloth.

Homosexual, perhaps.

Hospitals can be so impersonal.

How are you? I'm fine. How are you?

How long do we stay in here?

How long?

How very nice to have you with us this evening, Mr. Gardiner.

How will I know when it's 10:00, Robert?

How's Mr. Gardiner?

I admire your good, solid sense.

I agree.

I agree. Fine.

I agree. Fine.

I am a very serious gardener. I'm sure you are, Mr. Gardiner.

I am...

I asked Nurse Teresa to fix me up a bit.

I assume, since the President quoted you,

I assure you, sir, David is a very careful driver.

I believe that you know Krylov.

I can already hear the gossip.

I can understand that.

I can't write. Of course not. Who can, nowadays?

I can't.

I couldn't stand it.

I dare you to stop me in my Super Cop Clobberer.

I did not read that.

I didn't know you spoke Russian. It's incredible.

I didn't want the President to think I would die while he was talking to me.

I do believe, gentlemen, if we want to hold on to the Presidency...

I do hope your injury won't prevent you from attending to business.

I do not read papers. I watch TV.

I do not want Ben disturbed.

I don't even know what they look like.

I don't have that anymore. All I have left...

I don't have very many friends.

I don't know how to sign, Thomas.

I don't know what you like. I'm sorry.

I don't know what you like. I'm sorry.

I don't know, Senator, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I don't know.

I don't know. We'll see what the doctor says.

I don't read papers.

I don't think so.

I don't think that's entirely true, Grover.

I don't want to hear anymore from you about that room upstairs.

I feel safe.

I feel so close to you, Chauncey.

I feel very good in here.

I found Mr. Gardiner to have a feeling for this country that we need more of.

I get depressed, you know, this kind of thing...

I have no claim.

I have no doctor or dentist.

I have trouble writing a postcard to my children.

I haven't quite decided what we'll plant this year.

I heard he speaks eight languages.

I hope that you'll stay here...

I hope the entire country was listening.

I insist. We'll take him to a hospital.

I just can't, right now.

I just can't.

I just wanted to get some fresh air.

I just wanted you to know how delighted I am...

I know exactly what he means. Isn't it wonderful...

I know exactly what you mean, Ben.

I know it's important to stay informed of all the latest events, but...

I know it's ridiculous, but there is no information of any sort about Gardiner.

I know that Ben said, "Keep it small and quiet."

I know.

I know.

I like the President very much. He's a nice man.

I like to sleep with my head facing the north.

I like to watch TV.

I like to watch TV.

I like to watch, Eve.

I like to watch.

I like to watch.

I like to watch.

I like you to be here.

I live here.

I love Eve very much, Robert.

I may be a shut in, but...

I miss you so when I'm out. How're you feeling?

I must admit, that is one of the most refreshing and optimistic statements...

I must confess, I had suspected as much all along.

I must warn you that Chauncey's not a man to bandy words.

I never had much feel for it, myself.

I plan to contact Mr. Rand the minute...

I raised that boy since he was the size of a piss ant...

I said that since Mr. Rand is ill, I'm taking the liberty of asking you.

I said, try again.

I saw the President's speech at the Financial Institute today.

I see.

I see.

I see.

I see.

I see.

I see.

I see.

I see.

I see.

I see.

I see.

I see. Shall we set up the communications in the usual place?

I shall yield, too, Eve.

I should start the seeds for the spring and work the soil.

I sleep better that way.

I still don't believe I know the man, Mr. Gardiner. Now, please...

I suppose I better gather you up some breakfast.

I swear, between you and Benjamin, I've got my hands full.

I sympathize with you...

I think I'm...

I think what our insightful young friend is saying...

I think you should ask Mr. Rand that.

I think you'd better leave, Eve.

I touched him, just to see.

I understand, Ben.

I understand.

I understand.

I understand.

I understand.

I understand. Good.

I understand. Very good.

I use it to change the channels.

I used to listen to the radio.

I want the standard file, you know that. Right, chief.

I was just cleaning up some loose ends.

I was. Yes.

I will, Ben. Yes.

I will, Ben. Yes.

I won't be long. I've just got to talk to her about this gardener.

I won't have the horses standing in the sun. You hear me?

I would like to see Ben.

I would like to work in your garden.

I would love to escort Eve.

I would've just opened up. You know? You know that.

I would've just...

I'd like my eggs poached this morning, please.

I'd like to meet a reasonable man for a change.

I'd like to sing about something even more special.

I'd like to talk to you about Chauncey.

I'd like very much to thank you for joining us on such short notice

I'll expect plenty of service. You'll sure get it.

I'll have one of those. Thanks.

I'll have them set another place.

I'll make you some eggs.

I'll provide you with the very best ghost writer, proofreaders...

I'll see you after Dr. Allenby has a look at your leg.

I'm a very good gardener.

I'm allowed to go to the attic and wear any of the old man's clothes.

I'm awfully tired.

I'm certainly open to the idea.

I'm doing a lot for you, Rico. When I get you planted

I'm glad you didn't open, Eve.

I'm glad you didn't open, Eve.

I'm going to go now, Chance.

I'm going to meet the President...

I'm going to walk.

I'm so grateful.

I'm sorry for yelling like I did.

I'm sorry you had to go through all that.

I'm sorry you're so sick, Ben.

I'm sorry, dearest. I just...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. All I can think of is trunks.

I'm sure it is. That's what they say, anyway.

I'm sure you do. No one reads.

I'm sure you'll sprout some thoughts in a few days.

I'm Thomas Franklin.

I'm very hungry.

I'm very hungry. Could you give me some lunch?

I'm very sorry, Mrs. Rand. I never saw the man.

I'm very sorry, sir, I didn't see you. Can't move. My leg.

I'm very sorry.

I'm very well. I'd like you to meet Chauncey Gardiner.

I've been thinking about starting a financial assistance fund.

I've missed you, my friend.

I've never been allowed outside of the house.

I've never been in an automobile.

I've never been in one of these before.

I've never ridden in an automobile before.

I've never seen anything like this on television.

I've seen it done before, in a film on television.

I've seen this before.

I've spoken to them, my associates.

I've watched him on television.

I've...

If Gary wants to interrupt you, or ask you a question,

If I see Raphael, I will give him your message.

If you think I'm going out in this harness, you're crazy.

If, indeed, you have resided here, you have no legal right to remain.

In a garden, growth has its season.

In fact, the boys around the Bureau feel...

In the garden? Yes.

Instead, let us anticipate the rapid growth of springtime.

Is it all clear there, boys? Can you read that?

Is it me?

Is it possible to erase all traces of a man?

Is it something I've done? No, sweetheart, it's not...

Is Mr. Franklin in?

Is that all you've got to say?

Is there a TV upstairs?

Is there anyone we could notify for you?

Is your leg feeling any better?

Isn't he?

Isn't that true, Eve?

Isn't that what any businessman is? A gardener.

It concerns Chauncey Gardiner.

It could be an extremely confidential matter.

It did hurt.

It feels just like it's going to snow... Damn it, boy.

It happens to old people.

It is a good garden.

It is extremely useful to speak Russian today.

It is possible...

It is so glorious when they bloom.

It should be examined. We could take you to a hospital.

It was nothing, really. It just sounded worse than it was.

It was nothing, really. It just sounded worse than it was.

It would be absolute lunacy to support the President for another term.

It's 10 after 9, now.

It's 10:00.

It's a little too late now, isn't it?

It's a new car!

It's all make up.

It's always somewhat surprising to find men like yourself

It's amazing how those clothes have come back into style.

It's an all girl show, sir. It's an all girl show.

It's been an exhausting day for Ben.

It's fine today, Robert.

It's for sure a white man's world in America.

It's good to see you. You look terrific.

It's happening to everyone, I'm afraid.

It's like Gardiner never existed.

It's not broken, is it? Can you walk? I hope not.

It's not that, it's just that I...

It's not you.

It's one of Mr. Rand's. Since he's been ill.

It's pretty obvious that Robert here is not going to allow me to attend.

It's really no one's fault, David. Thank you, ma'am.

It's slightly long...

It's strictly at the rumor stage now, Lyman.

It's such a pleasant way to forget one's troubles.

It's that gardener. Yeah. Chauncey Gardiner.

It's very difficult...

It's very good.

It's very hard for me, too, Eve.

It's very hard...

It's very precise, sir.

It's wonderful, isn't it? Yes.

Its trees are healthy...

Jesus, the thought of spending the rest of my life as an attorney...

Jesus!

Jim's back was broken in three places, his skull was fractured...

Jogger's knee and swimmer's...

Just fine. Good. I am fine, too.

Just how long have you been living here, Mr. Chance?

Just one quick question, Mr. Gardiner...

Just show the President into the library. We'll be along in a few minutes.

Kaufman, I'll need some information on Mr. Chauncey Gardiner's background.

Kaufman, what the hell are you talking about?

Keep in the shade, Alvin. Yes, ma 'am.

Keep your hat and gloves on. Yes, ma 'am.

Keep your weight off that leg, Mr. Gardiner.

Keeps my spirits up.

Kinney, what have you found on his background?

Knee to the chest and experimenting with the weight...

Last night you mentioned an old man that died.

Let me feel your strength.

Let us await the rewards of summer.

Let's let the men talk. Would you two excuse us for a moment?

Let's see who that special person is. It's Mr. McFeeland.

Let's see.

Look at him now.

Look, Johanna... I said, goodnight.

Look, we can give you a six figure advance.

Looks like you're up. I am?

Lord, Chance...

Marker.

May I ask your name?

Maybe there's another gum machine someplace.

Maybe you should talk to somebody, darling.

Messenger. Manager. What did I say?

Mr. Benjamin Turnbull Rand, agrees with me on this...

Mr. Chance, I'd like to know what sort of claim...

Mr. Chance, I'm very pleased to meet you.

Mr. Chance, this is Ms. Hayes.

Mr. Courtney, are you there?

Mr. Franklin, I must ask you and Ms. Hayes

Mr. Gardiner stay here? Why? Is that necessary?

Mr. Gardiner,

Mr. Gardiner, I have the producer of The Gary Burns Show on the line.

Mr. Gardiner... Oh, yes... Yes.

Mr. Gardiner...?

Mr. Gardiner...?

Mr. President.

Mr. Rand would like to see you.

Mr. Rand, the President is arriving.

Mr. Thomas Franklin told me I must leave the old man's house.

Mr. Thomas Franklin, please.

Mr. Wilson, wheel Mr. Gardiner in for x rays after you've finished unpacking.

Mrs. Aubrey, the President is arriving.

My editors and I have been wondering if you'd consider writing a book for us.

My God, Eve, you'll freeze.

My goodness, your leg!

My house was shut down.

My husband and I are very good friends of theirs.

My husband's been very ill. The doctor and the nurses are staying with us.

My plan for financial assistance to businessmen.

My roses.

Natasha. Hello, Natasha.

Neither agency will admit to a thing. All right.

Nice to see you. Thanks.

No driver's license, no wallet, no credit cards.

No driver's license, no wallet, no credit cards.

No headaches?

No matter how strong the temptation.

No more shots.

No one has the time.

No problem, chief.

No, Ben.

No, Ben. Oh, sure you do.

No, Eve.

No, he's a real gardener.

No, I'm not related to Basil and Perdita.

No, it isn't.

No, it's been a fairly good day.

No, it's...

No, sir.

No, sir. I don't believe I do.

No, sir. I just don't know what I was expecting.

No, thank you.

No, thanks. I never touch the stuff, never.

No, that wouldn't do any good.

No, you're... you're direct.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. But Mr. Rand does have one with an electric motor.

No. I don't think so.

No. I just...

No. I'd like to look. What's happened?

No. I'm not badly injured. But my leg is very sore.

Nobody likes a dying man.

None, that this reporter has met, had the guts to admit it.

Not a damn thing they can do about it.

Not necessary, but helpful.

Not now, Arthur.

Not so far.

Not with that little thing of yours.

Nothing.

Now listen, Rico...

Now move, honky, before I cut your white ass.

Now, Chauncey, I'm afraid I must excuse myself.

Now, I ask you that because there is something...

Now, I know that many of you...

Now, I'd like some answers. Gardiner's not a foreign agent.

Now, wait, you have to put your head through the hole first.

Now, you take care, Ben.

Nurse Teresa did a very good job there.

Of CCT.

Of course, my...

Of course, the roses are my favorites.

Of course, your position in the financial community carries a lot of weight.

Of course.

Of course. Okay, let's go to work.

Of course. They would like you to appear on the show tonight.

Of men and women.

Oh, and Mrs. Aubrey...

Oh, Chauncey... You have the gift of being natural.

Oh, fine... Thank you.

Oh, his maid. Yes.

Oh, I've been labeled a kingmaker,

Oh, Lord!

Oh, Mr. Gardiner... I have a telephone call for you.

Oh, no, Chauncey!

Oh, nonsense.

Oh, yes, I have watched that show.

Oh, yes, please. Thank you. Thank you.

Oh!... Good.

Oh?

Oh? Really?

Oh.

Oh...

Okay, Sally, I'll see you in 20 minutes.

Okay.

Okay.

On television, Mr. President, you look much smaller.

On the board of First American Financial.

On the meeting between Mr. Rand and the President and yourself?

One of the first things you should know about me, my darling...

One. Two.

Or may I call you Chauncey?

Or thirdly, the man's files have been destroyed.

Our chairs are almost touching.

Our chairs are indeed almost touching.

Overall, pretty good.

Pardon me for intruding at a time like this, but were you very close to Max?

Perhaps I should call an ambulance. Let's have a look. Do you mind?

Perhaps.

Permit me, then, to drink to the new boss of the North Side.

Please, lie still, Mr. Gardiner.

Please, not a word. Of course, Doctor. I understand.

Please, sit in the chair.

Prolong my life with steroid therapy...

Put your arms up.

Quite a bit.

Quite a nice gesture. They're due here soon, I believe.

Reasonable...

Regretfully, we shall yield the pleasure of your company to others.

Reluctant to speak, eh?

Remarkable.

Say, that is coming along. The swelling's gone down considerably.

Sell a million shares of Inland Oil.

Sell all 750,000 shares

Send up number seven, please.

Shall we go?

Shame on you, Chauncey. Let me be the judge of that.

She cares for you.

She said she will not close up the house.

She used to bring me my meals.

She was his maid.

She was very kind to me.

She's a delicate flower.

Short changed by the Lord and dumb as a jackass.

Shouldn't we get together more often to exchange our thoughts?
