Your starter's dead. Bang on it with a hammer to loosen up the selenoid, then try it again. It'll work a few times but eventually you have to replace it. Or if your car's a manual, just roll down a hill and pop the clutch, it'll start without it.

The rapid clicking is the starter relay.
Don't bang the hell out of the starter, but do try tapping it gently.
