The World According to Garp

Garp?

Garp.

Garp?

Yes, Garp.

Sounds like a fish:

"My daughter got knocked up by a Garp! "

Find out if that's

the son of a b*tch's first or last name.

- Was that his first name or last name?

- It was Garp.

Just Garp. That's the whole thing.

I think it was his last name.

- What was his first name?

- I neverfound out.

She neverfound out his first name?

- Jenny, you must know his first name.

- TechnicalSergeant Garp.

I knew it! A goddamn soldier.

Technical Sergeant?

T.S. Yes. T.S. Garp.

That's my baby's name.

If I ever meet the son of a b*tch,

I'll kill him.

He's dead already.

I don't suppose

you bothered to get married.

Married?

She never even met the son of a b*tch.

I didn't want to marry. I wanted a baby.

But a wedding ring, dear...

I didn't need his ring, Mother.

I needed his sperm.

Don't you dare say "sperm" in this house.

- Where are you going?

- To get a job.

I'm a trained nurse

and I plan to continue my work.

Jenny!

In the war...

...which side was he on?

Was he on our side at least?

He wasn't on any side.

He was flat on his back in a hospital.

One night,

when he had one of his usual erections..

Based on John Irving’s book of the same name, The Earth According to Garp is the story of man’s journey from birth to adulthood. I felt as though I was the proverbial fly-on-the-wall as I observed this person’s eventful life. The downside to this technique is that I merely felt appreciate a spectator, thus I never developed an emotional connection with the title character.

The Cider House Rules

(n.p.), Garp Enterprises/Radio-Telegraphic Company, 1991. A very early draft of the screenplay that won Irving an Academy Award for best adapted screenplay, based on his sixth novel. Signed by Irving. This is the earliest copy of the script we have seen: the film was released in 1999; this version is dated "June 14, 1991, Revised." Hand-numbered "42." There are substantial textual differences between this early version and the final version. 130 pages, stringbound, with one remaining brad. Foxing to pages; near nice. An award-winning script, seen here as a work in progress. [#029480]$3,500

(London), Bloomsbury, (1996). The uncorrected proof clone of the first British edition of this title, which was incorporated into the U.S. edition of Trying to Save Piggy Sneedand had no separate U.S. printing.
