Copy !req
24. That's right, and I'm his mother.
Copy !req
25. I've been calling from Sicily,
all day long.

his number?
Copy !req
28. 65622056.
Copy !req
29. Thank you. Goodbye.
Copy !req
30. It's useless to call.
Copy !req
31. He's busy. God knows where he is.
Copy !req
32. He won't even remember.
Copy !req
33. Forget it.
Copy !req
34. He hasn't been here for 30 years.
Copy !req
35. You know what he's like.
Copy !req
36. He'll remember.
Copy !req
37. I'm sure he will. I know him
better than you do.
Copy !req
38. If he finds out we didn't tell him,
he'll be angry.
Copy !req
39. I'd like to talk
to Signor Salvatore di Vita.
Copy !req
40. I'm his mother.
Copy !req
41. Salvatore... what time is it?
Copy !req
42. It's late.
Copy !req
43. Sorry, I couldn't phone
to say I'd be late.
Copy !req
44. Go back to sleep.
Copy !req
45. Your mother phoned.
Copy !req
46. She thought I was someone else.
Copy !req
47. What did you tell her?
Copy !req
48. Nothing, I didn't want
to disappoint her. We had a long chat.
Copy !req
49. She said you've not visited her for
30 years. She must come to see you.
Copy !req
50. She called just to say that?
Copy !req
51. No, she said someone's died.
Someone called Alfredo.
Copy !req
52. The funeral is tomorrow.
Copy !req
53. Who is he? A relative?
Copy !req
54. No... go back to sleep.
Copy !req
55. How can I say Mass with this boy?
Copy !req
56. Toto!
Copy !req
57. Thank God for that!
Copy !req
58. How do I have to tell you?
Without the bell, I don't know where I am.
Copy !req
59. Always asleep!
What do you do at night? Eat?
Copy !req
60. Father Adelfio, at home
we don't even eat at lunchtime.
Copy !req
61. The vet says that's why I'm tired.
Copy !req
62. I'll tell you why you're tired.
Think I don't know?
Copy !req
63. Run along now, I've something to do.
Copy !req
64. - Can I come with you?
- No, you can't.
Copy !req
65. Toto, go away!
Copy !req
66. Alfredo!
Copy !req
67. You can start.
Copy !req
68. Here we go again.
Copy !req
69. The frame!
Copy !req
70. THE LOWER DEPTHS
Copy !req
71. One day, everything will be ours..
Copy !req
72. where no one knows us..
Copy !req
73. You don't love me any more..
Copy !req
74. Why?'?
Copy !req
75. 100 lire! Pure nylon!
Copy !req
76. You mustn't come here.
Copy !req
77. How many times
do I have to tell you?
Copy !req
78. You're only little.
Copy !req
79. If there's a fire,
you'll go up in smoke.
Copy !req
80. "And turn into a piece of charcoal."
Copy !req
81. You've a big mouth.
Copy !req
82. One of these days I'll cut it off.
Copy !req
83. Like that.
Copy !req
84. Can I have it?
Copy !req
85. Please can I have it?
Copy !req
86. Well, can I or not?
Copy !req
87. Are you deaf or something?
Copy !req
88. I have to splice it back before I return
the film. You're such a pest!
Copy !req
89. Then why didn't you splice these
before you returned the films?
Copy !req
90. Well, sometimes I can't find
the right place, so they stay here.
Copy !req
91. They kiss too much, anyway.
Copy !req
92. - Then I can have these.
- Now you listen to me.
Copy !req
93. Let's make a deal,
before I kick you up the arse.
Copy !req
94. - All these are yours, a present.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
95. But first, you don't come here again.
Second, I keep them here. Get it?
Copy !req
96. OK, so we're agreed. Now, scram!
Copy !req
97. What kind of deal is that? If they're
mine, how come you keep them?
Copy !req
98. Don't come back or I'll thrash you!
Copy !req
99. "Shoot first, think later.
Copy !req
100. "This is no job for weaklings,
cuckolds and traitors.
Copy !req
101. "Hey, you bastard!
Hands off that gold!
Copy !req
102. "Stay away from me,
you dirty swine,
Copy !req
103. "or I'll smash your face in!"
Copy !req
104. If the war's over,
why doesn't Dad come back?
Copy !req
105. He'll come back, you'll see.
One of these days.
Copy !req
106. I don't remember him.
Where is Russia?
Copy !req
107. It takes years to get there...
and years to come back.
Copy !req
108. Go to bed, Toto. It's late.
Copy !req
109. You can fool your mother,
but not me.
Copy !req
110. Get your piece of paper
and join the police, you little wretch!
Copy !req
111. Come on!
Copy !req
112. Well? How much is 5 x 5?
Copy !req
113. 30.
Copy !req
114. Quiet!
Copy !req
115. The five times table, you dimwit!
Copy !req
116. 1X5=5.
Copy !req
117. 2X5=10.
Copy !req
118. 3X5=15.
Copy !req
119. 4X5=20.
Copy !req
120. 5x5?
Copy !req
121. 40.
Copy !req
122. Quiet!
Copy !req
123. Boccia!
Copy !req
124. 25.
Copy !req
125. For the last time...
Copy !req
126. - 5 x 5?
- Christmas!
Copy !req
127. I've a ticket,
I want to see the film.
Copy !req
128. Get down. You can't stay here.
Copy !req
129. Go back to your seat!
Copy !req
130. They're all over the place,
like rabbits.
Copy !req
131. featuring John Wayne,
Claire Trevor...
Copy !req
132. Good evening, everyone!
Can't I say hello?
Copy !req
133. - Double-bill today.
- So what? I come here to sleep.

EPISODE OF THE SEA
Copy !req
140. Featuring SICILIAN FISHERMEN
Copy !req
141. What does it say?
Copy !req
142. - Who knows? I'm illiterate.
- You too?
Copy !req
143. The Italian language is not spoken
by the poor in Sicily.
Copy !req
144. to take home the bare minimum
required not to die of hunger.
Copy !req
145. And yet, their nets'
Copy !req
146. were full
when they pulled them up
Copy !req
147. All day fishing,
and what do we have to show for it?
Copy !req
148. I knew it!
Copy !req
149. 20 years going to the cinema,
and I've never seen a kiss!
Copy !req
150. Will we ever?
Copy !req
151. Son of a bitch!
Copy !req
152. - You and you, to work.
- What about me, Don Vincenzo?
Copy !req
153. You? Get a job from Stalin.
Copy !req
154. Don't you worry, his day will come.
Copy !req
155. I always get left out.
Copy !req
156. Nice film. That young man
worked ever so hard.
Copy !req
157. - Pity he was so unlucky.
- Why did he go and buy that boat?
Copy !req
158. Idiot!
You didn't understand anything.
Copy !req
159. Right, boys.
Here you work from dawn to dusk.
Copy !req
160. And no questions about pay.
Copy !req
161. I've been looking for you all day.
Did you buy the milk?
Copy !req
162. - And the money?
- Stolen.
Copy !req
163. You went to the cinema?
Copy !req
164. The cinema!
Copy !req
165. - Signora Maria, wait!
- Leave him alone, you're hurting him.
Copy !req
166. And you, why did you tell lies?
You know you got in free.
Copy !req
167. Go on, tell your mother.
Copy !req
168. Maybe he lost it inside. How much?
Copy !req
169. 50 lire.
Copy !req
170. What did you find
under the seats tonight?
Copy !req
171. A comb,
Copy !req
172. two heels,
Copy !req
173. a tobacco pouch...
Copy !req
174. And... 50 lire.
Copy !req
175. See?
Copy !req
176. Thank you, Alfredo.
Copy !req
177. - Good night.
- Good morning.
Copy !req
178. Good night.
Copy !req
179. I understood right away.
Copy !req
180. The square is mine!
Copy !req
181. It's midnight! Out!
I must close the square.
Copy !req
182. Hard on the feet, eh, Father?
Copy !req
183. Going, it's downhill
and all the saints help you.
Copy !req
184. Coming back, the saints just watch.
Copy !req
185. If it is God's Will...
Copy !req
186. See you tonight.
Copy !req
187. What's wrong? Your foot this time?
Copy !req
188. Oh dear, what can we do?
Copy !req
189. Did you know my father, Alfredo?
Copy !req
190. Of course I knew him.
Copy !req
191. Tall, thin, good-tempered,
with a moustache like mine.
Copy !req
192. He always smiled.
He looked like Clark Gable.
Copy !req
193. Now I'm older, Alfredo,
and I'm in the fifth year,
Copy !req
194. I'm not asking to go into the booth,
but couldn't we at least be friends?
Copy !req
195. "I choose my friends for their looks,
and my enemies for their intelligence."
Copy !req
196. You're too clever to be my friend.
Copy !req
197. I always tell my children
Copy !req
198. to be careful
how they choose their friends.
Copy !req
199. But you don't have any children.
Copy !req
200. But when I do, I'll tell them.
Copy !req
201. Don't cry. It's all right, I'm here.
Copy !req
202. The fire's out.
Copy !req
203. Mum, what happened?
Copy !req
204. You scoundrel!
Copy !req
205. Your sister could have burned
to death because of you!
Copy !req
206. You'll be the end of me!
Copy !req
207. I told you not to keep your films
near the fire.
Copy !req
208. You even burned my photos.
Copy !req
209. - You and your films!
- He was burning down the house.
Copy !req
210. Aren't you ashamed
of playing games with him at your age?
Copy !req
211. - What have I done?
- Who gave him the films?
Copy !req
212. Don't give them to him, he's mad.
Copy !req
213. All he talks about
is you and the cinema.
Copy !req
214. Swear you won't let him in again.
Copy !req
215. I give you my word.
Copy !req
216. May God send your father home,
he'll deal with you.
Copy !req
217. Dad is not coming back,
and I know why. He's dead.
Copy !req
218. No, it's not true!
Copy !req
219. He'll be back, you'll see.
Copy !req
220. THE END
Copy !req
221. They smoke like chimneys.
Copy !req
222. Go and buy a ticket!
Copy !req
223. I'll make mincemeat out of you!
Copy !req
224. Signora Anna!
Copy !req
225. Don't blame me,
your wife told me to bring your lunch.
Copy !req
226. I told Mum
Copy !req
227. you didn't give me the film.
It wasn't your fault.
Copy !req
228. I thought you were joking
when you said
Copy !req
229. the film could catch fire.
Copy !req
230. I just wanted to tell you.
Now I'll go.
Copy !req
231. Toto... come here.
Copy !req
232. Come and sit down.
Copy !req
233. Now, listen. I started this job
when I was ten.
Copy !req
234. We didn't have
these modern machines then.
Copy !req
235. Films were silent.
Copy !req
236. You turned the projector by hand
Copy !req
237. with a crank.
Copy !req
238. All day long!
Copy !req
239. And it was so hard,
this damned crank.
Copy !req
240. If you got tired,
and slowed down a bit,
Copy !req
241. everything was burned,
in a flash.
Copy !req
242. So why don't you teach me?
Copy !req
243. Now there's no crank and it's easy.
Copy !req
244. Because I don't want to, Toto.
Copy !req
245. This is no job for you.
Copy !req
246. You work like a slave,
always alone.
Copy !req
247. You watch the same film 100 times.
Nothing else to do.
Copy !req
248. You end up talking
to Greta Garbo and Tyrone Power.
Copy !req
249. Always working.
Every holiday, Easter, Christmas...
Copy !req
250. You only get Good Friday off.
Copy !req
251. And if they hadn't put Christ
on a cross, we'd work even then.
Copy !req
252. So why don't you change jobs?
Copy !req
253. Because I'm stupid.
Copy !req
254. Who else around here
would be a projectionist? No one.
Copy !req
255. It takes an imbecile like me.
Copy !req
256. It's my luck.
Copy !req
257. So, you want to be
a stick-in-the-mud like me?
Copy !req
258. Good boy.
Copy !req
259. It's for your own good.
Copy !req
260. Always stuck in here. Boiling hot
in summer, freezing cold in winter.
Copy !req
261. Breathing in fumes,
and earning a pittance.
Copy !req
262. Is it all bad?
Copy !req
263. You get used to it.
Copy !req
264. When the cinema is full,
Copy !req
265. you hear people laughing,
and that makes you happy.
Copy !req
266. It makes you feel good. Like you're
the one who makes them laugh
Copy !req
267. and makes them forget
their troubles.
Copy !req
268. That, I like.
Copy !req
269. You didn't hear a word I said.
What are you up to?
Copy !req
270. I can't turn my back for a minute.
Copy !req
271. Your mother is right. You're mad!
Copy !req
272. How on earth did he do it?
He watches and learns.
Copy !req
273. I'll tell the manager not to let you in.
Did you hear?
Copy !req
274. And I'll tell Father Adelfio.
Copy !req
275. No more altar boy,
you understand?
Copy !req
276. Get stuffed!
Copy !req
277. I've won! I've won the pools!
Copy !req
278. The Neapolitan has won the pools!
Copy !req
279. The Neapolitan has won the pools!
Come along, quick.
Copy !req
280. These Northerners have all the luck!
Copy !req
281. The square is mine!
Copy !req
282. Keep still!
Are the horse-flies bothering you?
Copy !req
283. You've a louse factory up here.
Off you go.
Copy !req
284. What do you want? Off you go.
Copy !req
285. A shopkeeper owns two shops.
Copy !req
286. In one, he sells fruit.
Copy !req
287. Be seated.
Copy !req
288. Here are the external candidates
for the School Certificate.
Copy !req
289. Quiet!
Copy !req
290. Quiet!
Copy !req
291. Rotten little stinker!
Copy !req
292. - Help me, Toto.
- Quiet!
Copy !req
293. - I haven't got a clue!
- Quiet!
Copy !req
294. Francesco Messana. In the name
of the law, you're under arrest.
Copy !req
295. Son of a bitch! Pencil-pusher!
Copy !req
296. This is where it can catch fire.
Copy !req
297. If it does, you out here and there,
Copy !req
298. or the whole reel will burn.
Got it?
Copy !req
299. I won't stand for this sort of thing!
Copy !req
300. Which side is the gelatin on?
Copy !req
301. It tastes good.
Copy !req
302. These are the invoices.
Always keep them safe.
Copy !req
303. - Yes, Alfredo.
- Don't ever forget.
Copy !req
304. This is for you.
Today you can load the reels.
Copy !req
305. - It's so high up.
- Now you can do it alone.
Copy !req
306. Stay still.
Copy !req
307. What a woman!
Copy !req
308. Children, say goodbye to Peppino.
He's going to Germany.
Copy !req
309. Why won't you say goodbye?
Copy !req
310. My father says he's a Communist.
Copy !req
311. God bless you, Mum.
Copy !req
312. - Will he find work in Germany?
- Who knows?
Copy !req
313. It's like an adventure.
You live in hope.
Copy !req
314. Screw this country!
Copy !req
315. Go and work in Germany,
you and your Stalin.
Copy !req
316. Goodbye, Peppino!
Come back soon.
Copy !req
317. At least Germany
is closer than Russia.
Copy !req
318. After six years,
the return of spring fashion.
Copy !req
319. unlike the pompous styles
of wartime.
Copy !req
320. I'll make mincemeat out of you!
Copy !req
321. The Ministry of Defence'
Copy !req
322. has released a new list
of Italian dead
Copy !req
323. The names will be posted
by the military authorities.
Copy !req
324. All the families concerned
will be notified.
Copy !req
325. Unfortunately,
we don't know where he's buried
Copy !req
326. Here is the pension form
for you to sign.
Copy !req
327. Well, he's no oil painting...
Copy !req
328. Go home, we can't have another show.
It's late, can't you understand?
Copy !req
329. Some people have seen it twice.
Copy !req
330. We've been waiting an hour.
Copy !req
331. Tomorrow we'll show another film.
Copy !req
332. A Western, I promise!
Copy !req
333. Go to bed.
Copy !req
334. Close the doors.
They'll wreck the Paradise. He“, even.
Copy !req
335. Alfredo, you let us in!
Copy !req
336. What do you want me to do?
Copy !req
337. "The mob doesn't think.
Copy !req
338. "It has no mind of its own."
Copy !req
339. The great Spencer Tracy
said it in "Fury".
Copy !req
340. Well, what do you say?
Copy !req
341. Shall we let the poor devils
see the film?
Copy !req
342. I wish we could, but how?
Copy !req
343. "If you have no faith in me,
have faith in what you see."
Copy !req
344. So, get your arse off that stool.
Copy !req
345. Pay attention.
Copy !req
346. Now we pass through these walls.
Copy !req
347. Look out of the window, kid.
Copy !req
348. It's beautiful, Alfredo!
Copy !req
349. Over there! Look, the cinema!
Copy !req
350. Thank you, Alfredo!
Copy !req
351. What on earth is going on?
Copy !req
352. It's the cinema.
Copy !req
353. Go to hell!
Copy !req
354. There's no sound.
Copy !req
355. Shall we keep them happy?
Copy !req
356. Want to go down?
Copy !req
357. - Come, look at this.
- Oh, my God!
Copy !req
358. - Ah, Nunzio! Half price will do.
- As you wish.
Copy !req
359. You must buy tickets, folks.
Copy !req
360. Half price.
Copy !req
361. Get stuffed!
The square belongs to everyone.
Copy !req
362. The square is mine!
Don't joke about it, it makes me mad.
Copy !req
363. I can't believe it,
the whole theatre is on fire.
Copy !req
364. Help!
Copy !req
365. Poor Alfredo! What a shame!
Copy !req
366. It's all burned down!
Copy !req
367. All burned down!
Copy !req
368. What do we do now?
Copy !req
369. No more entertainment
in the village, nothing.
Copy !req
370. How can we rebuild all this?
Copy !req
371. Look at Ciccio!
You'd hardly know him.
Copy !req
372. Who has that kind of money?
Copy !req
373. The new Cinema Paradiso!
Copy !req
374. This cinema is for you!
Copy !req
375. He's just a boy.
What about the child labour laws?
Copy !req
376. I got a licence
through my connections.
Copy !req
377. But don't ask me how it works.
Copy !req
378. Officially, I'm the projectionist,
but the money goes to Toto.
Copy !req
379. Stay on your toes, Toto.
No falling asleep.
Copy !req
380. No more disasters.
Copy !req
381. Do as poor Alfredo taught you.
Copy !req
382. And God bless you, son.
Copy !req
383. Thank you, Father.
Copy !req
384. What's this? A funeral?
Life goes on. Music!
Copy !req
385. You've fallen in love
with that peasant.
Copy !req
386. - Maybe.
- And he's asked you to many him?
Copy !req
387. What a dish!
Copy !req
388. My God, they're kissing!
Copy !req
389. I shall not watch pornographic films.
Copy !req
390. Bravo, Don Ciccio!
Copy !req
391. Any room for me
in this new paradise?
Copy !req
392. Bring him home afterwards, Toto.
I'm going now, Alfredo.
Copy !req
393. I'm so glad you're here.
Copy !req
394. How is school?
Copy !req
395. Fine, but now I'm working,
Copy !req
396. maybe I won't go any more.
Copy !req
397. Don't do that, Toto.
You'll end up with egg on your face.
Copy !req
398. What does that mean?
Copy !req
399. It means
Copy !req
400. that this is no job for you.
Copy !req
401. Now the Paradise needs you
Copy !req
402. and you need the Paradise.
But it won't last.
Copy !req
403. One day you'll move on
to other things.
Copy !req
404. Other things.
Copy !req
405. More important things.
Much more important.
Copy !req
406. I know. Now I've lost my sight,
Copy !req
407. I see better.
Copy !req
408. Things I never saw before.
Copy !req
409. Thanks to you, who saved my life,
I'll never forget.
Copy !req
410. Don't look so gloomy.
Copy !req
411. I'm not gaga yet. Want proof?
Copy !req
412. Let's see. Right now, for instance,
Copy !req
413. the film is out of focus.
Check it.
Copy !req
414. You're right, it's out of focus.
Copy !req
415. How did you do?
Copy !req
416. It's difficult to explain.
Copy !req
417. Watch the screen! Pigs, bastards!
Copy !req
418. I told you, it doesn't catch fire.
Copy !req
419. Progress always comes too late.
Copy !req
420. Workers of the world...
Copy !req
421. She's new.
Copy !req
422. Not bad.
Copy !req
423. She's nice.
Copy !req
424. Her father's a bank manager,
a big shot.
Copy !req
425. Jerks it off with his shirt,
not to get his hands dirty.
Copy !req
426. Faster, faster.
Copy !req
427. Last one's a sissy.
Copy !req
428. Excuse me.
Copy !req
429. You dropped this.
Copy !req
430. I hadn't noticed.
Copy !req
431. - I'm Salvatore. And you?
- Elena. My name is Elena.
Copy !req
432. I wanted to tell you...
the other day, at the station...
Copy !req
433. A small projector?
Is it your footage?
Copy !req
434. What do you see?
Copy !req
435. A young bull being slaughtered.
Copy !req
436. A big pool of blood on the ground.
Copy !req
437. Another young bull steps
over the blood
Copy !req
438. on its way to its death.
Copy !req
439. What do you see now?
Copy !req
440. Nothing, it's out of focus.
Copy !req
441. A woman.
Copy !req
442. It's a woman!
Copy !req
443. Yes, a girl I saw at the station.
Copy !req
444. What's she like?
Copy !req
445. She's very nice.
Copy !req
446. My age, slim, with long brown hair.
Copy !req
447. Big blue eyes, and a clear gaze.
Copy !req
448. A beauty spot on her lip.
Copy !req
449. Very small, you only see it close.
Copy !req
450. And when she smiles, you feel...
I don't know.
Copy !req
451. Love!
Copy !req
452. I know how it is.
Copy !req
453. The blue-eyed ones are the worst.
Copy !req
454. You can never get close to them,
whatever you do.
Copy !req
455. "The bigger the man,
the deeper the imprint.
Copy !req
456. "And when he's in love,
he suffers knowing it's a dead end."
Copy !req
457. It's nice what you say, but sad.
Copy !req
458. I didn't say it. It was John Wayne
in "The Shepherd of the Hills".
Copy !req
459. You old sneak!
Copy !req
460. Why are you running?
Copy !req
461. Because“.
Copy !req
462. I wanted to tell you...
Copy !req
463. You remember when...?
Copy !req
464. Nice day, isn't it?
Copy !req
465. Yes, lovely day.
Copy !req
466. Excuse me, I must go. Bye!
Copy !req
467. What a jerk!
Copy !req
468. "Nice day, isn't it?" How stupid!
Copy !req
469. I told you.
You thought I was kidding you.
Copy !req
470. Take it from me.
The blue-eyed ones are the worst.
Copy !req
471. But why? There must be a way
to make her understand.
Copy !req
472. Forget it, Toto.
Feelings can never be understood.
Copy !req
473. - You can't explain them.
- Oh, you made the world!
Copy !req
474. With all due respect to the Lord,
who made it in two or three days,
Copy !req
475. I'd have taken longer, but certain
things I could have done better.
Copy !req
476. Like I said, you have all the answers.
Copy !req
477. I'll tell you a story.
Just for you, Toto.
Copy !req
478. Let's sit down.
God Almighty!
Copy !req
479. Once upon a time,
Copy !req
480. a king gave a feast.
Copy !req
481. The most beautiful princesses
were there.
Copy !req
482. A soldier who was standing guard
Copy !req
483. saw the king's daughter go by.
Copy !req
484. She was the loveliest one,
and he fell instantly in love.
Copy !req
485. But what is a simple soldier
next to the daughter of a king?
Copy !req
486. One day he managed to meet her
Copy !req
487. and told her he could no longer
live without her.
Copy !req
488. The princess was so taken
by the depth of his feeling
Copy !req
489. that she said to the soldier:
Copy !req
490. "If you can wait for 100 days
Copy !req
491. "and 100 nights under my balcony,
Copy !req
492. "I shall be yours."
Copy !req
493. With that, the soldier went
and waited one day, two days,
Copy !req
494. then ten, twenty.
Copy !req
495. Each evening the princess looked out,
and he never moved!
Copy !req
496. Always there,
come rain, come thunder.
Copy !req
497. Birds shat on his head,
bees stung him, but he didn't budge.
Copy !req
498. After 90 nights,
Copy !req
499. he had become
Copy !req
500. all dry and pale.
Copy !req
501. Tears streamed from his eyes.
Copy !req
502. He couldn't hold them back.
Copy !req
503. He didn't even have the strength
to sleep.
Copy !req
504. And all that time,
the princess watched him.
Copy !req
505. When the 99th night came,
Copy !req
506. the soldier stood up,
Copy !req
507. took his chair and left.
Copy !req
508. Right at the end?
Copy !req
509. Right at the end, Toto.
Copy !req
510. Don't ask me what it means,
I don't know.
Copy !req
511. If you can figure it out, you tell me.
Copy !req
512. Only one copy?
Copy !req
513. You know I need two. One for the
Paradise and one for the next town.
Copy !req
514. You promised,
and I've committed myself.
Copy !req
515. You screw it up,
and I'll tell you what I'll do.
Copy !req
516. I'll use the one copy
for the two cinemas.
Copy !req
517. I'm from Naples, and you don't screw
around with people from Naples.
Copy !req
518. We see the crib. The child's asleep.
Copy !req
519. "The lawyer told me. Now I know."
Copy !req
520. The lawyer told me. Now I know..
Copy !req
521. "Everyone must know.
Copy !req
522. "Yes, everyone must know."
Copy !req
523. Yes, everyone must know.
Copy !req
524. "Do you believe me?"
Copy !req
525. "Yes, I believe you."
Copy !req
526. "Our own home.
How I've dreamed of it!"
Copy !req
527. - Our own home.
- How I've dreamed of it!
Copy !req
528. Ll Tonin o!"
Copy !req
529. "The End"
Copy !req
530. THE END
Copy !req
531. I don't like it!
Copy !req
532. I cut the end credits to go faster.
Copy !req
533. Bring me Part One.
I'll show a newsreel.
Copy !req
534. I'll call the police. Take him!
Copy !req
535. Just a minute!
Copy !req
536. Here's Part One.
Copy !req
537. Hurry!
The house is packed.
Copy !req
538. Get a move on!
Get the bloody thing rolling.
Copy !req
539. - Wait, will you?
- They're going mad.
Copy !req
540. Bunch of animals! Shut up!
Copy !req
541. Toto, what's going on?
They're furious.
Copy !req
542. It's been half an hour.
Copy !req
543. What do you want me to do?
Copy !req
544. Where's that son of a bitch?
I'll be ruined.
Copy !req
545. Calm down, it won't be long.
Copy !req
546. I'll have you know I left my wife
sick in bed in order to watch this film.
Copy !req
547. And I still haven't seen a thing.
Copy !req
548. If it doesn't start in 10 minutes,
we want our money back.
Copy !req
549. Or I'll wreck the place with this cane.
Copy !req
550. Calm down. Can I say something?
Copy !req
551. I'll show you Part One again.
Copy !req
552. We want to know how it ends.
Copy !req
553. Quiet!
Copy !req
554. I've already seen it,
I'll tell you how it ends.
Copy !req
555. Please, don't ask me why.
Copy !req
556. What is it, Alfredo? Not now,
I must administer the sacrament.
Copy !req
557. I need you urgently.
Copy !req
558. I have terrible doubts
tormenting my soul.
Copy !req
559. - Father, I have sinned.
- Do that later.
Copy !req
560. Please, don't turn around.
Copy !req
561. - Just act normal. It's Salvatore.
- How did you get in here?
Copy !req
562. - That's a terrible thing to say.
- I know.
Copy !req
563. Take the miracle
of the loaves and fishes
Copy !req
564. I've often wondered.
How is it possible?
Copy !req
565. I had to talk to you
Copy !req
566. You're beautiful, Elena
Copy !req
567. I can never find the words
Copy !req
568. when I see you
Copy !req
569. I get the shivers
Copy !req
570. I don't know how other people do it
Copy !req
571. It's my first time
Copy !req
572. But I'm in love with you
Copy !req
573. Father, I have sinned
Copy !req
574. I absolve you from your sins
in the name of the Father...
Copy !req
575. and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit
Copy !req
576. You're even prettier when you laugh
Copy !req
577. You're very sweet, and I like you
Copy !req
578. But I'm not in love with you
Copy !req
579. I'll wait
Copy !req
580. For what?
Copy !req
581. For you to love me
Copy !req
582. Listen to me
Copy !req
583. Every night, after work...
Copy !req
584. I'll wait outside your house
Copy !req
585. When you change your mind...
Copy !req
586. open your window, I'll understand
Copy !req
587. You understand now?
Copy !req
588. Yes... finally, I see the light
Copy !req
589. Next time, don't talk heresy
Copy !req
590. You survived the fire in the cinema
Copy !req
591. But from the eternal fire,
no one can save you
Copy !req
592. 15 seconds to the New Year!
Copy !req
593. Look, the car's still running in!
Copy !req
594. How will we get home?
Copy !req
595. Oh, God! It's my father
Copy !req
596. Good evening!
Copy !req
597. Outdoor cinema tonight
at the Imperia
Copy !req
598. Standing room only!
Copy !req
599. Come on in! The show's just
started. Have your tickets ready
Copy !req
600. Salvatore, my love... I'll have to spend
all summer here with my parents
Copy !req
601. The days are never-ending here.
I see your name everywhere...
Copy !req
602. Lin books, crosswords, newspapers'
Copy !req
603. You're always before my eyes'
Copy !req
604. We're moving to Palermo,
because of university
Copy !req
605. It'll be difficult to see each
other, but don't worry
Copy !req
606. I'll come and see you
at the Paradise
Copy !req
607. When will this bloody summer end?
Copy !req
608. In a film, it'd already be over
Copy !req
609. Cut, and there's a storm. Great!
Copy !req
610. Elena! But when...?
Copy !req
611. Today. You can't imagine
the excuses I made up
Copy !req
612. I'm doing my military service
in Rome. I leave on Friday
Copy !req
613. Wait for me at the Paradise
Copy !req
614. I'll come on Thursday
on the 5 o'clock bus
Copy !req
615. Could be a mistake.
Copy !req
616. Anyway, Rome is great
Copy !req
617. Load the reels for tomorrow,
ready for the new man
Copy !req
618. Cheer up! I'll wait for you,
don't worry
Copy !req
619. No one's taking your job
Copy !req
620. It'll be waiting for you.
Don't look so gloomy
Copy !req
621. Salvatore di Vita reporting for duty!
Copy !req
622. Her father's been transferred
and no one knows where to?
Copy !req
623. Sod you, bastard! You won't
bloody well tell me, will you?
Copy !req
624. NOT KNOWN AT THIS ADDRESS
Copy !req
625. You've lost weight. They didn't
treat you very well, did they?
Copy !req
626. They tell me you never go out
or talk to anyone. Why?
Copy !req
627. You know how it is
Copy !req
628. Sooner or later, the time comes...
Copy !req
629. when it makes no difference
whether you talk or not
Copy !req
630. So you might as well shut up
Copy !req
631. It's hot in here
Copy !req
632. Take me to the sea
Copy !req
633. At Christmas, this lieutenant
pinches a girl's bum
Copy !req
634. She turns round.
It's the colonel's daughter
Copy !req
635. Terrified, he says:
Copy !req
636. "If your heart is as hard as what
I've just felt, I'm a dead man"
Copy !req
637. Have you seen her?
Copy !req
638. No one knows where she is
Copy !req
639. It was probably meant to be like this
Copy !req
640. Each of us has a star to follow
Copy !req
641. Go away from here.
This land is cursed
Copy !req
642. Living here every day, you think
it's the centre of the world
Copy !req
643. That nothing will ever change
Copy !req
644. Then you leave, for a year or two
Copy !req
645. And when you come back everything
is changed. The thread is broken
Copy !req
646. You don't find what you're looking for.
What was yours is gone
Copy !req
647. You need to go away for a long time...
Copy !req
648. for many years...
Copy !req
649. before you can come back
and find your people...
Copy !req
650. the land where you were born
Copy !req
651. But not now. It's impossible
Copy !req
652. Now, you're blinder than I am
Copy !req
653. Who said that? Gary Cooper,
James Stewart, Henry Fonda?
Copy !req
654. No, Toto
Copy !req
655. No one said it
Copy !req
656. This time, I'm saying it
Copy !req
657. Life is not what you see in films
Copy !req
658. Life is much harder
Copy !req
659. Go away!
Copy !req
660. Go back to Rome. You're young
Copy !req
661. The world's your oyster
Copy !req
662. I'm old
Copy !req
663. I don't want to hear you any more
Copy !req
664. I want to hear about you
Copy !req
665. Don't come back
Copy !req
666. Don't think about us.
Don't look back, don't write
Copy !req
667. Don't give in to nostalgia.
Forget about us
Copy !req
668. If you come back,
don't come and see me
Copy !req
669. I won't let you in,
you understand?
Copy !req
670. Thank you...
Copy !req
671. for everything you've done
Copy !req
672. Whatever you end up doing, love it
Copy !req
673. The way you loved
the projection booth...
Copy !req
674. when you were a little boy
Copy !req
675. Is he already gone?
Toto, farewell!
Copy !req
676. I'm too late, what a pity!
Copy !req
677. It's Toto. I knew it
Copy !req
678. See how nice the house is?
Copy !req
679. We've had it all redone,
thanks to you
Copy !req
680. Come, I've a surprise for you
Copy !req
681. Are you tired?
Copy !req
682. You've time to rest
before the funeral
Copy !req
683. No, Mum. The flight is only an hour
Copy !req
684. Don't say that, after all these years
Copy !req
685. Come, I've put all your things
in here
Copy !req
686. He must be glad you came, Toto
Copy !req
687. He always talked about you, always
Copy !req
688. Right up to the end
Copy !req
689. He really loved you
Copy !req
690. He left something for you
Copy !req
691. Before you leave...
Copy !req
692. come and see me
Copy !req
693. When did you close it down?
Copy !req
694. Six years ago in May.
No one came any more
Copy !req
695. You know it better than I do.
The recession, TV, videos...
Copy !req
696. The cinema has become a memory
Copy !req
697. The city has purchased the site
for a public car park
Copy !req
698. They're pulling it down on Saturday,
Signor di Vita. Pity!
Copy !req
699. Why "Signor di Vita"?
Copy !req
700. It didn't use to be like that
Copy !req
701. It's awkward to be casual
with an important person
Copy !req
702. However, if you insist... Toto
Copy !req
703. Who would have believed it? Toto
Copy !req
704. He left this for you
Copy !req
705. He never asked to see me?
Copy !req
706. Never
Copy !req
707. Your mother once said...
Copy !req
708. you'd come if he wanted you to
Copy !req
709. He was furious. He said:
Copy !req
710. "No! Toto must never
return to Giancaldo"
Copy !req
711. He wasn't being mean
Copy !req
712. He was a good man
Copy !req
713. Who knows what went through
his head?
Copy !req
714. He started saying strange things
towards the end
Copy !req
715. Just before he closed his eyes...
Copy !req
716. he told your mother
not to let you know
Copy !req
717. What are you thinking?
Copy !req
718. I've always been afraid to come back
Copy !req
719. And now, after all these years,
I thought I was stronger...
Copy !req
720. and had forgotten many things
Copy !req
721. But it's all right there
in front of me...
Copy !req
722. as if I'd never gone away
Copy !req
723. And yet, I look around
and don't recognise anyone
Copy !req
724. And you, Mum...
Copy !req
725. I deserted you
Copy !req
726. I ran away like a criminal...
Copy !req
727. without an explanation
Copy !req
728. I never asked for one.
You don't have to explain
Copy !req
729. I always thought you were doing
the right thing. Don't dwell on it
Copy !req
730. You were right to leave
Copy !req
731. It allowed you to do
what you wanted
Copy !req
732. When I phone you,
it's a different woman every time
Copy !req
733. But I haven't yet heard the voice...
Copy !req
734. of someone who loves you
Copy !req
735. I can tell
Copy !req
736. All the same...
Copy !req
737. I'd like to see you
settling down...
Copy !req
738. in love with someone
Copy !req
739. But your life is there
Copy !req
740. Here, there are only ghosts
Copy !req
741. Let go, Toto
Copy !req
742. It's my square
Copy !req
743. Check the leader.
Roll when you're ready
Copy !req
744. OK. Congratulations,
I loved your film
Copy !req
745. THE END
Copy !req
