Black Swan
黑天鹅
英文剧本
（中文剧本在后面）
I
had
the
craziest
dream
last
night.
Royal
had
one
of
their
best
seasons
yet.
He
just
needs
to
try
something new.
That's all.
No
someone new.
- Like who?
-
Like
someone
who's
not
love
The
lustful
twin
the
Black
Swan tricks and
seduces him.
Devastated
the
White
Swan
leaps
off a cliff
killing
herself.
And in death...
finds freedom.
- Good
morning
company.
I
was
dancing
the
White
Swan.
It was different choreography
though.
It was more like the
Bolshoi's.
It was the prologue
when Rothbart casts his
spell.
Look how pink. So pretty...
Pretty!
- You're in a good
mood.
-
He
promised
to
feature
me
more
this season.
Well
he certainly should.
You've
been
there
long
enough
and
you're the most dedicated
dancer in the
company.
Up.
- What's that?
- What?
There.
Nothing.
You're sure you
don't want me
to come with you?
You're a sweet girl.
Did you
see Beth today?
I can't believe she's
back.
- Of course she's back.
- What
she can't
take a hint?
The company is broke.
No
one
comes
to
see
her
anymore.
Oh
nobody actually comes
to see
ballet full stop.
That's
not
true.
I
heard
The
approaching
menopause.
It's sad.
What's
sad?
Beth's
such
a
beautiful
dancer.
Yeah
so is my grandmother.
-
Well
Fonteyn
danced
into
her
fifties.
- Yeah
we know.
Great.
Thought
I'd
fucking
missed
my
stop.
It's a hell-fit all the way from
th.
Beautiful as always
Nina.
Relax.
And
one
and
two
and
three
and four.
Stop
John.
One second.
Okay
take position.
And
one
and
two
and
three
and up.
And
one
and
two
and
three
and
four.
Hello
dear.
We all know the story.
Virginal girl
pure and sweet
trapped in
the body of a swan.
She desires freedom
that
only
true
love
can
break
the spell.
Her wish is
nearly granted
in the form of a Prince.
But before he can declare his
- Good morning.
We will open
our season
with Swan Lake.
Done to death
I
know.
But not like this.
We
strip
it
down
make
it
visceral
and real.
A new production
needs a new Swan Queen.
A
fresh face to present to the
world.
But... Which of you
can
embody both Swans?
The White
and the Black.
All the soloists I tapped
Go
to
your
scheduled
rehearsals
this afternoon.
And the girls I didn't tap
Meet
me
in
the
principals'
studio at .
Thank you.
All right.
-
Let's
go.
Did
we
do
left
side?
- Yes
mistress.
Fuck! Fuck!
What?
If
I
was
only
casting
the
White Swan she'd be
yours.
But I'm not.
Maestro
Odile's
coda
please.
Now
show
me
your
Black
Swan
Nina.
Not
so controlled.
Seduce us.
Not
just
the
Prince
but
the
court the audience
the entire
world.
Come
on
like
a
spider
spinning a web.
Attack it
attack it!
Come
on!
hard.
- We all have off
days.
- That girl
um
barged in.
I'm sure she didn't mean to.
For a starter
if
I hadn't taken
you to each of
your
classes
you'd
have
been
completely lost.
I'm
going
to
talk
to
him
I thought you should
know.
Okay
Nina
listen.
Honestly
I
don't
care
about
your technique.
-
You
should
know
that
by
now.
- Yeah
but yesterday...
No.
Anyway...
Well...
- Good of you to join us.
-
Sorry...
Girls
this is Lily.
Straight
off
the
plane
from
San Francisco.
She's
filling
Rebecca's
old
spot.
- Hey.
-
Get warmed up.
No
it's okay.
I'm good.
Should I go again?
No
thanks
Nina.
I've seen enough.
Veronica
the
White
Swan
variation.
Come
on
come
on
come
on
please.
All right
Maestro.
Two
three...
So how'd it go?
You were late
so
I called
Susie in the office.
An audition! I can't believe
he just sprang that on you.
So?
It was fine.
Just fine?
Oh
sweetheart...
You tell me
about it.
Nina
everything all right?
I'm
fine.
Almost done.
You're
working
yourself
too
tomorrow.
I'm
going
to
tell
him
I
finished it.
You don't need
to lie.
You won't convince him
one way or the other.
Oh
sweetheart.
I
know it's disappointing.
When
you
start
getting
older
there's all this
ridiculous pressure.
God
knows I understand.
But it's all right.
No matter what.
You'll
probably get to dance
the part of the
cat again.
That's such a wonderful
part.
Or
maybe
he'll
make
you
a
big swan.
Either way
you'll shine.
You know...
Everything will be better
in
the morning.
It always is.
Sweet girl.
Yes
Nina?
Do you have a minute?
- Now's not a good time. I get
it.
- Now is perfect.
So...
I just wanted to tell
you that
I practiced the coda last
night
and
I finished.
I've already chosen Veronica.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Okay
thank you.
That's it?
You're not going
to
try and change my mind?
You must have thought
it was
possible.
Otherwise
what are you
doing here all
dolled up?
I came to ask for the part.
Well...
The truth is...
When I look at you all I see is
the White Swan.
Yes
you're
beautiful
fearful
fragile.
Ideal casting.
But the Black
Swan?
It's
a
hard
fucking
job
to
dance both.
I
can
dance
the
Black
Swan
too.
Really?
In
four
years
every
time
you
dance
I
see
obsess
getting
each and
every move
perfectly
right
but
I
never
see you
lose yourself.
Ever.
All
that discipline for what?
- I just want
to be perfect.
- You what?
I want to be
perfect.
Perfection
is
not
just
about
control.
It's also about
letting go.
Surprise yourself so you
can
surprise
the
audience.
Transcendence.
And very few have it in them.
I think I do have it in me.
- I love you
too.
Mom?
Mom
are you in your room?
Nina?
Are you home?
Nina
when you
get out
I'm in the kitchen.
Come on
sweetie.
My
daughter
the
Swan
That
evil force is pulling you
that you
can't escape. That's just out of
your control.
So
you
sense
it
you
get
aware of it more
taking
me
it's
taking
me.
A little bit more
desperate.
You bit me?
I
can't believe you bit me!
I'm sorry.
Man
that fucking
hurt!
What?
Why's
she
always
staring
at
me?
Hey
it's been
posted.
Hey
it's
up!
Veronica.
Congratulations.
Hey!
Why would you say that?
Your
idea of some sick joke?
What?
Fuck you.
Hey
Nina!
Congratulations!
Congratulations.
You're so
beautiful.
Congratulations.
- Hello?
- Hi.
What is it?
What's wrong?
I'm fine.
He picked me
Mom.
Do you hear
me?
- For Swan Lake?
-
I'm
going
to
be
Swan
Queen!
Mom!
I'll be home soon.
I just wanted to let you know.
- I love you.
Queen.
It's our favorite.
Vanilla
with
strawberry
filling.
Oh
Mom
not too big.
Oh
that's
way
way
too
much.
-
It's
a
celebration.
It's
just
this
once.
- Mom...
My stomach's
still in knots.
Fine.
Fine.
Then it's garbage!
No
Mom
don't.
I'm sorry.
I'm just...
I'm just so
proud of you.
It looks so yummy.
Okay
okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you
Nina.
That's very nice.
Very nice.
But I knew the White Swan
wouldn't be a problem.
The
real work will your
metamorphosis
into
her
evil
twin.
And I know I saw
a flash of her yesterday.
So
get ready to give me
more of that bite.
Excellent.
Right
and
you
can
maybe
go up a little bit
and
then
come
down
and
then...
That's it.
Watch the way she moves.
Imprecise but effortless.
She's not faking it.
Gorgeous!
Okay
that's beautiful.
Let's
start
again
from
the
beginning.
You'll
room
with
Beth
from
now on
so be considerate.
Thanks
Susie.
Those are for you
from Mr.
Leroy.
They're beautiful.
I'll be
back in a second.
Let
me
come
back
to
you
please.
Let's
go.
Ready
to
be
thrown
to
the
wolves?
We
need
our
cash
so
please
don't forget to
smile.
Ladies
and
gentlemen
please
may
I
have
your
attention?
Good evening.
Let me make
this
very
important
announcement.
You
all
had
had
the
chance
and
the
privilege
to
be
enchanted
transported
and
even
sometimes
devastated
by
the
performances
of
this
true
artist
of
our
company.
She's been a crucial
inspiration to my work.
A
role
model
to
all
dancers
and
even more than that
a
deeply appreciated
presence on our
stage.
You
all
know
who
I
am
talking about.
Ladies
and
gentlemen
Beth
Macintyre.
But as we all
know
every great career
has to come to an end.
Beth
is
retiring
at
the
end
of
season.
She will be giving
her
farewell
performance
as
Melpomene
the role she originated
in
my first ballet.
My little princess
we honor you.
You will be greatly missed
and never forgotten.
But
as
we
bid
adieu
to
one
star we welcome another.
We're opening our season
with my new version of Swan
Lake.
Taking
the
role
of
our
new
Swan
Queen
the
exquisite
Nina Sayers.
You'll soon
have the pleasure
of seeing her perform
but
right
now
let's
please
raise a glass
To all of us. To Beth. To Nina.
To beauty.
Just a second.
Just a
second!
Come on!
I'm about
to burst!
Hey
it's you!
I don't think we
ever
officially met.
- I'm
Lily.
- Hi
I'm
Nina.
Yes
our
new Swan Queen.
- Here
hold this.
- Yeah
sure.
You must
be so excited.
Are you freaking out?
- Yeah...
- Yeah?
Oh
it's okay.
Oh
I'd be losing
my mind.
I should get back...
No
no
no
come
on
stay.
Keep me company.
Excuse me.
Oh
there you
are.
Come on.
Hey.
They
tried
to
eat
you
alive but
here you are.
You did well.
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
Where are you going?
Upper
west side.
Stop at my place for a
drink.
It's on the way.
Thomas
you
need
to
say
hello
to Karen Holloway.
A minute more of ass-kissing.
I'll be back. Wait for me here
all right?
Hello
Karen!
Beth!
I'm
so sorry to hear
you're leaving the
company.
What
did
you
do
to
get
this
role?
He always said you were
such
a frigid little girl.
What did you do
to make
him change his mind?
Did you suck his cock?
Not
all of us have to.
You fucking whore!
You're a fucking little whore!
Whoa
what's
going on here?
Hey
I need to talk to you.
-
You're drunk. You should go
home.
- I need to talk to you.
No!
Don't you do that!
Don't
you
dismiss
me
like
that!
My little princess
please.
Pull it
together.
- Come.
- I'm
coming by later.
I have something for
you.
It's
a
token
of
my
appreciation.
- Right.
-
You
make
the
most
of
it
Nina.
Don't
worry. It's typical.
Please. I thought
it'd be good
to talk about the role.
Drown this a little.
I don't
want there to be
any boundaries between
us.
- No
me
neither.
- Good.
So...
You got a boyfriend?
No.
Have
you
had
many
in
the
past?
A few.
But
no one serious.
You're not a
virgin are you?
No.
So
there's nothing
to be embarrassed
about.
And you enjoy making love?
Excuse me?
Come on
sex.
Mom!
This disgusting habit...
Jesus Christ
I
thought
you
were
done
with
this
Nina.
Shrugs.
You'll
keep
wearing
the
Was
it right after we saw her?
Wait
wait
wait.
This
has
nothing
to
do
with
you.
It's
not your problem so don't
let yourself
be distracted.
This is your moment
Nina.
Do you
enjoy it?
We need to be able
to talk about this.
I've got
a little homework
assignment for you.
Go home and touch yourself.
Live a little.
Well it's
late.
Lots of work tomorrow.
The doorman will
find a cab
for you.
Sounds like quite an evening.
I
wish
I
could
have
been
there.
You know I asked.
I know you did.
Susie told
me.
Guess he wanted you
all
to himself.
But why?
Don't
blame him.
Where'd you get these?
They're fake.
Fooled me.
I can do it.
He must have
been
by your side all night.
Showing you off.
- Oh
Nina...
- It's
just a rash.
Rash?
What are
you talking about?
It was worse a few
days ago.
It's fine already.
-
You've
been
scratching
yourself again.
- No I haven't.
shrugs.
Sit down.
You have the white one
and the pink one.
And
that'll hide it.
And
then
I'll
dig
out
that
expensive
coverup. We still have some.
No one will see it.
Mom
please
It's the role
isn't it?
It's all this
pressure.
I knew it'd be too much.
I knew it.
You're all right.
You'll be all right.
Beth's
in the hospital.
She had an accident.
Oh no!
Beth?
What
happened?
She walked into the street
and got hit by a car.
You
know what?
I'm almost sure
she did it on purpose.
How
do you know?
Because everything Beth
does
comes
from within
from some dark
impulse.
I guess that's what
makes her
so thrilling to watch.
So dangerous.
Even perfect
at times.
But
also
so
damned
destructive.
Don't let it
go.
What are you doing?
Nina?
Sweetie
are
you
ready
for
me?
And...
Come on!
Forget about
control
Nina.
I
want to see passion.
Come on.
Stiff like a dead corpse.
Let it go.
Let it go.
Let it go.
And again.
Feels
like
you
have
your
diaphragm
is in a bit of a
contraction?
I'm okay.
Breathe in to this hand.
Breathe in to this hand.
Breathe in
all
the way.
Good.
And exhale.
Does
it
feel
jammed
in
the
front
every time you plie?
Sometimes
not
always.
- One more pull
okay?
- Okay.
-
Is that okay?
- Yeah.
David
can
I
ask
you
a
question?
Honestly would you fuck that
girl?
No.
No one would.
Nina...
Your
dancing
is
just
as
frigid...
Fuck!
We're
still
working
here
it?
It's that hard to.
Leroy playing
a little too
rough for you?
Come on
Nina.
He's a prick.
Stop being so fucking weak.
Again!
Lily...
Oh
look who's decided
to grace us with her presence.
I need to talk to you.
please.
Lights!
The lights!
Thank you!
Okay
guys
you can go.
Thanks for your patience.
No
no
you stay.
You stay.
Have fun
you
two.
Okay.
Come here.
Come
come
come
come.
I'll be the Prince.
Let it go. Let it go.
Feel
my touch.
Respond to it.
Come on.
Open your mouth.
Open it. Open up.
That was
me seducing you
when it
needs to be
the other way around.
Please...
Who is that?
Hey.
You okay?
You can't smoke in here.
Well
I
won't
tell
if
you
won't.
So...
The big day's getting closer
and closer
huh?
Well
I can't
wait.
I
think
you're
going
to
be
amazing.
Thanks.
So...
Do
you
want
to
talk
about
He's brilliant.
Sure
but it's
not like
he's all warm and fuzzy.
What you don't know is...
Someone's hot for teacher!
Oh
come on
it's okay.
I
don't blame you.
I should go home.
Nina
come on.
I'm just playing around.
Nina!
Sweetie?
What are you doing in there?
Again.
Again.
Do
you have any corrections?
Lily told me
that
she saw you crying.
That you were very upset
and
that I should
take it easy on you.
I didn't tell her that.
Maybe
you
need
a
little
break.
A
day
or
two.
Or
maybe
a
month.
What do
you think?
She
shouldn't
have
said
anything.
No
you shouldn't be
whining in
the first place.
I didn't.
You could be brilliant.
But
you're a coward.
Sorry.
No
stop saying that!
That's
exactly
what
I'm
talking
about.
Okay.
Now.
Shut up.
Come on.
What's up?
You
told
Thomas
about
last
night?
Oh
yeah.
I
ran
into
him
in
the morning and
he said you guys were having
some trouble.
Why would he
talk to you?
Oh
excuse
me
your
highness.
I
just told him you're working
your ass
off
and I think you'll be great.
Well you shouldn't have.
Okay.
Has
he
tried
anything
with
you?
He has
a reputation.
I have a right to be
concerned
Nina.
You've
been
staying
late
so
many nights.
Rehearsing. I just hope
he
isn't
taking
advantage
that's all.
He's not.
Good.
I
just don't want you to make
the same
mistake I did.
Thanks.
Not
like that.
I just mean as far as
my career was concerned.
What career?
The
one
I
gave
up
to
have
What
about drinks?
Okay.
you.
I'm twenty-eight.
So?
Only that...
Only what?
Nothing.
- What?
- Nothing.
How is your skin?
Fine.
- Are you leaving it
alone?
- Mm-hmm.
Let me see.
- Take off your shirt.
- No.
Can I help you?
Who was
that?
It was no one.
It was
no one.
Hello?
What are you
doing here?
I just came by to
apologize.
You're
right.
I
should
have
never
spoken to him about
you.
- Sweetheart.
- Give me
a second.
- Your dinner...
-
Mom
please.
Oh
she's a trip.
How
do
you
know
where
I
live?
I have my ways.
Jesus
relax.
I
got
it
from
Susie
in
the
office.
Look
I
feel
really
shitty
about
what
I
did
and
I
really
want to make it up to
you.
So
how
about
I
take
you
out
to dinner?
-
I don't think...
- Okay
that's fine.
Sweetie
you need
to rest.
- Jesus.
- Wait.
What are you doing?
I'm
going out.
What?
Nina!
You're on the stage tomorrow.
I
can't
believe
he
calls
her
that.
- It's so gross.
- I think it's sweet.
Little
Princess?
- He probably calls every
girl
that.
- No way.
That's just for Beth.
Well
I
bet
he'll
be
calling
you
Little Princess any day
now.
I don't know about that.
Oh
sure he will.
Just
got
to
let
him
lick
your
pussy.
Cheeseburger
extra bloody.
Mmm
dankesch.
Let me
know
if that's juicy enough for you.
Oh
I will.
You have enough cheese?
No
but you do.
Enjoy.
All right.
Wanna spruce up?
What
I carry a spare
in case I wake up
somewhere
unexpected.
So how is he?
Thomas.
I wouldn't know.
- Oh
come on.
-
I
really
don't
want
to
talk
about that.
You really need to relax.
One for you
one
for me.
Oh
and
don't
worry.
It's
pure
I promise.
I
brought
it
with
me
straight
from San Francisco.
What is
it?
Are you kidding?
You've
never rolled?
Oh
relax. Here.
It'll loosen
you up.
Wait till you see the night
sky.
How long does it last?
A couple hours
tops.
It's okay.
Okay.
Nina
hi!
I
thought
we
could
use
some
company.
So
this
is
Tom
and
this
is
Jerry.
- Actually it's
Andrew.
- Tom.
- I have to
go...
- Oh
no
you can't go.
I just
got us some drinks.
I
shouldn't...
We're on the stage
tomorrow.
So what are you going to do?
Go home to Mommy?
Come on
live a little.
It's
just
a
couple
hours
right?
Tops.
Cheers.
You haven't told me
who you
are.
I'm a dancer.
No
I mean your
name.
- Oh. Nina.
- So are
you two sisters?
- Yes.
- No.
- Blood
sisters.
-
We
dance
in
the
same
company.
Ah
ballerinas.
No
wonder
you
two
look
alike.
I see
now.
Tom
and
Jerry
here
are
gay
But
her
prince
falls
for
the
wrong girl
and so she kills herself.
It's not a happy ending then.
It's beautiful
actually.
Like you.
Huh?
I said you're
beautiful.
That's funny?
-
Leave me alone!
Winged girl.
Why didn't you wake me up?
I'm moving out.
My music!
Thomas
I am so
sorry.
Keep on going.
Go get
warmed up.
That was good.
lovers.
- Very funny.
- I like to amuse myself.
I've never been to the ballet.
Then
you
are
definitely
not
gay.
I
mean
it's
kind
of
boring
isn't
it?
- Be honest.
- No it's
not.
You know what?
It's
just not for everyone.
You should come
sometime.
I
can
comp
you
tickets
whenever you want.
Yeah.
Yeah.
-
Yeah
that
would
be
neat.
Thanks.
-
Okay well...
I
think
it's
time
for
another
round.
Bottoms up.
So what are you
guys
working on now?
Sorry.
Swan Lake.
Yeah?
You know it?
No
not really.
Heard of it.
What's it about?
It's about
a girl who gets
turned into a swan
and she needs love
to break the spell.
Looks like someone might be
rolling.
All right
come on.
Come
on
it's
time
to
go
dance.
Nina!
Hey
what the fuck?
Where you going?
Nina!
Where are you going?
Do you
have any idea
what time it is?
Late?
Where have you been?
To the moon and back.
-
You've been drinking.
- Ding ding ding
ding ding!
- What else?
-
Hmm?
What
else
have
you
been
doing?
Oh
you
want
to
know
their
names?
- You need to sleep this off.
-
There
were
two.
Tom
and
Jerry.
- Be quiet
Nina.
- And I
fucked them both.
Shut your mouth!
- Don't come in here.
-
What's this?
It's called privacy.
I'm not twelve anymore.
-
You're
not
my
Nina
right
now...
Actually
really
good.
Okay
let's
take ten.
Look
he
just
wanted
to
mark it
and
asked
me
to
step
up
okay?
I overslept.
Oops. But hey
at least
you had
a good time
right?
You
put
something
in
my
drink.
Yeah.
And then you just
took off in the morning.
In
the morning?
Yeah
you slept over.
Um
no.
Unless your
name's Tom
and you had a dick.
What
Nina?
Did you have some sort of
lesbian wet dream about me?
- Stop.
- Oh my God!
Oh my God
you
did!
You fantasized about me!
- Shut up!
- Was I good?
The final act.
You're trying
to dance.
You've tasted your dream!
Touched it!
Only to have it
crushed!
Your heart is broken
wounded.
Your life force fading.
The blood drips.
The
Black
Swan
stole
your
love.
There
is only one way to end
the pain.
You
are
not
fearful
but
filled
with acceptance.
And
you
look
down
at
What's
going on?
Lily...
You made
her my alternate?
There's always an
alternate.
Lily is the best choice.
No
she wants my
role.
Every dancer in the world
wants your role.
No
this is different.
Sweet girl.
Mommy?
Sweet girl.
Sweet girl.
Stop!
What are you doing?
Sweetie?
Nina?
Nina!
Rothbart
and then at the Prince
and
then
yes
at
the
audience.
And then you jump.
Go ahead. Jump.
Jump!
Okay
everybody
get a drink
of water then it's notes.
You lost weight.
Take off
your shrug
please.
Very good.
Face front.
We're almost done.
And
that's it.
Okay.
We're done.
Thank you very much.
Georgina
I'm
Lily.
Thomas sent me...
Yes
we
have
to
get
you
measured
for
the
Swan
Queen
costumes.
What's she doing
here?
He made me your alternate.
Look
it's just
in case.
Thomas.
Thomas.
- Thomas.
- Yes?
It can't be her.
It can't be
her.
Okay
why
don't you just go.
I'll catch up later.
She is after me.
- She is trying to replace me.
- Nobody is after you.
- No
please believe me...
I know it's been a struggle.
But
you
just
had
a
breakthrough this morning.
Tomorrow
is
yours.
Just
give
a great performance
and
you
won't
have
to
worry
about
Lily or anybody else.
Now go home and
rest.
From the vision again.
What happened?
I've
got
a
life.
I
work
too
hard.
It's a big day
tomorrow.
I'm still working in here.
Could you please
turn the
lights back on?
Hello?
What
are you doing here?
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I know how it
feels now.
She's trying to replace me.
What do I do?
You stole my
things?
I was just trying to be perfect
like you.
Perfect?
I'm not perfect.
I'm
nothing.
Nothing!
Nothing
nothing!
Go
away!
Open the door!
Go
away!
Open the door
Nina!
Nina!
Get
out!
- What's wrong with you?
- Get out!
- Get out!
- What do you see?
Get out!
It's okay.
I'm here.
You were scratching all night.
Where's my clock?
- Don't
worry about that.
- What time is it?
- The show is tonight
I have
to...
- No
no
no
no.
Don't worry.
I called the
theater and I told
them
you
aren't feeling well.
I have to go!
- No. No
you
don't.
- Let go of me.
You're staying in here
until
you feel better.
Where is it?
This role is destroying you.
- Move. Move!
- Nina...!
- What happened to my sweet
girl?
