Copy !req

28. 65622056.
Copy !req
29. Thank you. Goodbye.
Copy !req

Copy !req

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. One day, everything will be ours..
Copy !req
71. where no one knows us..
Copy !req
72. You don't love me any more..
Copy !req
73. Why?'?
Copy !req
74. 100 lire! Pure nylon!
Copy !req
75. You mustn't come here.
Copy !req
76. How many times
do I have to tell you?
Copy !req
77. You're only little.
Copy !req
78. If there's a fire,
you'll go up in smoke.
Copy !req
79. "And turn into a piece of charcoal."
Copy !req
80. You've a big mouth.
Copy !req
81. One of these days I'll cut it off.
Copy !req
82. Like that.
Copy !req
83. Can I have it?
Copy !req
84. Please can I have it?
Copy !req
85. Well, can I or not?
Copy !req
86. Are you deaf or something?
Copy !req
87. I have to splice it back before I return
the film. You're such a pest!
Copy !req
88. Then why didn't you splice these
before you returned the films?
Copy !req
89. Well, sometimes I can't find
the right place, so they stay here.
Copy !req
90. They kiss too much, anyway.
Copy !req
91. - Then I can have these.
- Now you listen to me.
Copy !req
92. Let's make a deal,
before I kick you up the arse.
Copy !req
93. - All these are yours, a present.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
94. But first, you don't come here again.
Second, I keep them here. Get it?
Copy !req
95. OK, so we're agreed. Now, scram!
Copy !req
96. What kind of deal is that? If they're
mine, how come you keep them?
Copy !req
97. Don't come back or I'll thrash you!
Copy !req
98. "Shoot first, think later.
Copy !req
99. "This is no job for weaklings,
cuckolds and traitors.
Copy !req
100. "Hey, you bastard!
Hands off that gold!
Copy !req
101. "Stay away from me,
you dirty swine,
Copy !req
102. "or I'll smash your face in!"
Copy !req
103. If the war's over,
why doesn't Dad come back?
Copy !req
104. He'll come back, you'll see.
One of these days.
Copy !req
105. I don't remember him.
Where is Russia?
Copy !req
106. It takes years to get there...
and years to come back.
Copy !req
107. Go to bed, Toto. It's late.
Copy !req
108. You can fool your mother,
but not me.
Copy !req
109. Get your piece of paper
and join the police, you little wretch!
Copy !req
110. Come on!
Copy !req
111. Well? How much is 5 x 5?
Copy !req
112. 30.
Copy !req
113. Quiet!
Copy !req
114. The five times table, you dimwit!
Copy !req
115. 1X5=5.
Copy !req
116. 2X5=10.
Copy !req
117. 3X5=15.
Copy !req
118. 4X5=20.
Copy !req
119. 5x5?
Copy !req
120. 40.
Copy !req
121. Quiet!
Copy !req
122. Boccia!
Copy !req
123. 25.
Copy !req
124. For the last time...
Copy !req
125. - 5 x 5?
- Christmas!
Copy !req
126. I've a ticket,
I want to see the film.
Copy !req
127. Get down. You can't stay here.
Copy !req
128. Go back to your seat!
Copy !req
129. They're all over the place,
like rabbits.
Copy !req
130. featuring John Wayne,
Claire Trevor...
Copy !req
131. Good evening, everyone!
Can't I say hello?
Copy !req
132. - Double-bill today.
- So what? I come here to sleep.
Copy !req
133. Cut the news, Alfredo!
Copy !req
134. ITALY DOESN'T FORGET
Copy !req
135. The men and women who fought

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