Max's Dark Secret by Woody Allen



but look how he talks about them
in his stories.                 
Max and Dolly Pincus
were married for    years.
They raised two children...
participated generously at
family weddings and bar mitzvahs.
Max, How are you?
Mazel tov. Here, for Donald.
Thank you, Max.
Dolly!
You got a private minute?
Sure. We're leaving anyhow
in a few minutes.
l don't know if
l should tell you.
What? Tell me what?
Tell me, and l'll tell you
if you should tell me.
My heart is heavy.
Nothing terrible happened
to your husband Phil, did it?
He's been dead for so many years.
When l was in Florida last week...
l ran into a man...
who heard from someone
who knew someone who...
Anyway...
it seems Max has some secret
from his past.
You're talking about my Max?
-A dark secret.
-What kind of a dark secret?
Dark!
What is by you dark?
 
    
                   
l don't know.
 
    
                   
What kind of dark secret?
We've been married for    years.
 
    
                   
You're his first wife?
 
    
                   
Sure l'm his first wife.
 
    
                   
Before me, he worked for...
 
    
                   
What?
 
    
                   
You heard something different?
 
    
                   
l heard only a dark secret.
Do l knowwhat?
 
    
                   
Who told you?
 
    
                   
Wolf Fishbein.
 
    
                   
Be careful, Dolly.
 
    
                   
That's all l want to say.
 
    
                   
Dolly triedputtingElsie's words
outofhermind...
 
    
                   
butMax's darksecret
plaguedher.
 
    
                   
Then one daysheraninto
WolfFishbein...
 
    
                   
andthe truth wasrevealed.
 
    
                   
Try to breathe deeply.
 
    
                   
Elsie, you were right.
 
    
                   
Fishbein told me atale.
 
    
                   
Max, before l met him,
lived in Florida.
 
    
                   
He had a store. Groceries.
 
    
                   
He was married.
 
    
                   
Now it comes out!
 
    
                   
To awoman...
 
    
                   
with two children.
 
    
                   
Max had other children?
 
    
                   
No. The woman's children.
 
    
                   
From a prior marriage.
 
    
                   
He began an affair...
 
    
                   
with the downstairs neighbor,
awidow.
 
    
                   
He probably had all his hairthen.
 
    
                   
Meanwhile, he got into debt.
 
    
                   
Deeper and deeper.
 
    
                   
And then carry on
with the neighbor.
 
    
                   
Oy, my heart!
 
    
                   
He can't get himself out
of a predicament.
 
    
                   
So what does he do?
 
    
                   
He stole money.
 
    
                   
l should be so lucky!
 
    
                   
He killed his wife!
 
    
                   
No!
 
    
                   
The man purchased an ax.
 
    
                   
With an ax?
 
    
                   
You know Max.
He's nothing with tools.
 
    
                   
He can't even hang a picture.
 
    
                   
l'm dropping dead!
 
    
                   
Plus her children!
 
    
                   
Plus the neighbor!
 
    
                   
Four.
 
    
                   
Four people he killed
in one night with an ax.
 
    
                   
Your Max?
 
    
                   
-And this is not the capper.
-There's more?
 
    
                   
More!
 
    
                   
What more?
 
    
                   
He ate them.
 
    
                   
What, are you talking crazy?
 
    
                   
He devoured them.
 
    
                   
l can't breathe.
Everything is closing in.
 
Whatever you do...
 
    
                   
first hear Max's side.
 
    
                   
Max has a side?
 
    
                   
He kills his family
and eats them up.
 
    
                   
The man has a side?
 
    
                   
He was a good husband and
loving father for    years.
 
You have a daughterwho
went to college.
 
    
                   
You have a son who's awriter.
 
    
                   
Maybe the best course of action
is to let sleeping dogs lie.
 
    
                   
Honey, would you
pass the sour cream?
 
    
                   
You haven't touched athing.
 
    
                   
Nice weather.
 
    
                   
lt's okay.
 
    
                   
lt's not just okay.
lt's nice.
 
    
                   
All right. What are you getting
so steamed up about?
 
    
                   
What makes you such an
authority on the weather?
 
    
                   
Me?
 
    
                   
-All l said was...
-l knowwhat you said.
 
    
                   
The fish is delicious.
 
    
                   
Wouldn't you rather have meat?
 
    
                   
Since when do l eat meat?
 
    
                   
With my arteries, you gotta
watch the cholesterol.
 
    
                   
-Uh-huh.
-What is the "uh-huh"?
 
    
                   
You've been very touchy lately.
 
    
                   
Don't interrogate me...
 
    
                   
Mr. Max Pinchick!
 
    
                   
Where did you hearthat name?
 
    
                   
Did you kill your first wife
with an ax?
 
    
                   
l got a headache.
 
    
                   
Did you chop her up?
Along with your mistress?
 
    
                   
Okay.
 
    
                   
lf l tell you why l did it,
do you promise not to nudge me?
 
    
                   
Wolf Fishbein said,
in orderto hide the bodies...
 
you ate them!
 
    
                   
So, what are you making a fuss?
 
    
                   
Some bury,
some burn...
 
    
                   
l ate!
 
    
                   
l remember "Max Pincus's
Dark Secret".
 
    
                   
And you don't see your
sick view of our parents?
 
    
                   
l wrote it when l was young.
 
    
                   
The first of many anti-Semitic
pieces ofwork.
 
    
                   
Direct from the Wailing Wall.
 
    
                   
Disrespectful.
Shameful.
