Here’s the scene. Here’s the script. Do you ever dream?

You don’t need to know anything about the movie Masked and Anonymous.  It doesn’t mean anything.  It’s not meant to make sense.  But look at this scene with Giovanni Ribisi and Dylan.  The video is quiet, so I’ve included the portion of the script.

[Ribisi:] I come from a small village in the mountains.  We don’t even have a doctor.  So, I joined the rebels. I didn’t know what the answers were, I still don’t. I just knew you had to take sides. I suffered, sickness, and wounds. My own family turned against me. They disowned me. I tried to explain, but… but, but they just wouldn’t listen to me. Pretty soon, I saw the rebel warlord was corrupt. The leadership were lying to the people. They — they wanted to replace the old government with a new government, which was just as bad. They were, they were taking people’s money, they were, they were, they were making promises with no intention of keeping them.

“And then a small army of counter-revolutionaries go to battle the rebels in the mountains, where the government forces were ineffective.

“I changed sides. No one ever noticed.

“This new movement was — was fighting for the truth, the rebels supposedly believed in, but really didn’t. And then I realized that this movement was being funded by the very government I wanted to topple. At that point, I realized, I didn’t want the government to fall. It would only be replaced with anarchy.

“I started believing in preserving the republic, so I joined the government forces. I fought bravely for the cause.

“And then one day we wiped out a small village. They, they, they told us something about the, the rebels having infiltrated… it was a lie. All the men were, uhhh, either dead, or old. And there were, there were, there was nothing but, uhhh, women and children left. …

“It was my village.

“And, uhhh, some- sometimes, uhhh, when I, when I dream — my dreams become my reality. and I wish I could live in my dreams.

“Do you ever dream?”

[Dylan]: “Yeah, I dream. My dreams are mucking through fire, intense heat. I don’ pay any attention to my dreams.”
