5. "CINEMA NUOVO" AWARDCopy !req
6. Romeo Salviati,
what are you doing in there?Copy !req
7. You're not a manager.
You work to support your family.Copy !req
8. Come join us out here.Copy !req
9. Your wife's too ashamed of you
to leave the house.Copy !req
10. - Where'd you get that?
- The store at the intersection.Copy !req
11. - Can I buy it?
- I've already eaten some.Copy !req
12. It doesn't matter.Copy !req
13. No, take it.Copy !req
14. Valerio, come here.Copy !req
15. Want some?Copy !req
16. The steam temperature's high, sir.Copy !req
17. Turn down the burners.Copy !req
18. They say they have applicants,
but not for work abroad.Copy !req
19. They've gone crazy too
finding specialized workers -Copy !req
20. No, it's for a friend.Copy !req
21. Why not give him
some of your men?Copy !req
22. Have you tried Beltrami?
Wait, I have to call him anyway.Copy !req
23. Miss, get me Philips.Copy !req
24. Beltrami here. Who's this?Copy !req
25. Oh, hello.Copy !req
26. I wish I had some.Copy !req
27. Ugo?
Sorry to keep you waiting.Copy !req
28. Are you crazy?
Out of the question.Copy !req
29. This is a government agency -
no layoffs here.Copy !req
30. Nothing doing, even at ANIC.
I told you so.Copy !req
31. Take these men.Copy !req
32. They've had specialized training.Copy !req
33. They were originally to work for us.Copy !req
34. They're good.
This one is a foreman.Copy !req
35. What? He's in Ferrara?Copy !req
36. That's 50 miles away.Copy !req
37. We'll go to Sicily if we have to.Copy !req
38. - I've been looking for you.
- Come meet a friend.Copy !req
39. Mr. Zeller. My wife.Copy !req
40. I'll wait for you in your office.Copy !req
41. All right.Copy !req
42. It was raining.
The road was wet.Copy !req
43. She must have braked,
but she hasn't been driving long,Copy !req
44. and she's so absentminded
when she drives.Copy !req
45. Luckily, the truck stopped short.Copy !req
46. Was she badly hurt?Copy !req
47. Not really.
Just a few bruises.Copy !req
48. It was a tremendous shock
more than anything.Copy !req
49. She spent over
a month in the hospital,Copy !req
50. and the gears
still don't quite mesh.Copy !req
51. Now she wants to open a shop.Copy !req
52. I have no idea what for.Copy !req
53. On Via Alighieri.Copy !req
54. Besides, I don't think
it would look right.Copy !req
55. Why?Copy !req
56. Don't be eyeing my men.
This is a protected game reserve.Copy !req
57. Did you know
that my father put up those silos?Copy !req
58. I can't see you in this work.Copy !req
59. Didn't you study
mineral engineering?Copy !req
60. I intended to go down,
but now it's up instead.Copy !req
61. What can you do?Copy !req
62. Ever since my father died...Copy !req
63. the responsibility's been
on my shoulders.Copy !req
64. That's just how it is.Copy !req
65. Just above normal.Copy !req
66. Almost 99.Copy !req
67. That's normal.Copy !req
68. I dreamed I was in bed,Copy !req
69. and the bed was moving.Copy !req
70. I looked down,Copy !req
71. and it was on quicksand.Copy !req
72. It was sinkingCopy !req
73. deeper and deeper.Copy !req
74. Looking for me?Copy !req
75. I was...Copy !req
76. passing by,Copy !req
77. and I saw you go in.Copy !req
78. No, that's not true.
I don't want to start with a lie.Copy !req
79. Start what?Copy !req
80. Nothing.Copy !req
81. Just talking.Copy !req
82. I'm sorry if -Copy !req
83. Maybe light blue's better.Copy !req
84. For what?Copy !req
85. The walls.Copy !req
86. And green for the ceiling.Copy !req
87. Cool colors. They mustn't clash.
- Clash?Copy !req
88. With what I sell.
The merchandise.Copy !req
89. What do you think I should sell?Copy !req
90. You haven't decided?Copy !req
91. Yes. I'd like to sell ceramics,Copy !req
92. but I know nothing about them.Copy !req
93. Faenza's nearby.
It's famous for its ceramics.Copy !req
94. That's right.
I have to write that down.Copy !req
95. Write what down?Copy !req
96. To go to Faenza.Copy !req
97. Oh Lord!
I have so many calls to make.Copy !req
98. Did Ugo talk about me?Copy !req
99. I mean...Copy !req
100. he told me you have a child.Copy !req
101. I knew he was married,
but not to whom.Copy !req
102. Nothing else?Copy !req
103. Yes, about the shop.Copy !req
104. Allow me.Copy !req
105. - When did you get here?
- This morning.Copy !req
106. My bags are still in the car.
Why?Copy !req
107. Did you find a hotel room?Copy !req
108. No, but why do you ask?Copy !req
109. - What do you do?
- What do you mean?Copy !req
110. I mean...Copy !req
111. where do you live? Bologna?Copy !req
112. I live in Milan,Copy !req
113. but I'm actually from Trieste.Copy !req
114. I was born there.Copy !req
115. When I was a child,Copy !req
116. my parents moved to BolognaCopy !req
117. and then to Milan.Copy !req
118. I moved back to Bologna
a few years ago,Copy !req
119. but I have to leave again.
It's a bit complicated.Copy !req
120. Why?Copy !req
121. The truth...Copy !req
122. is that...Copy !req
123. I'm not happy
in one place or the other...Copy !req
124. so I've decided to leave.Copy !req
125. Where will you go?Copy !req
126. You're leaving the light on?Copy !req
127. Yes, it's best that way.Copy !req
128. It's today's.Copy !req
129. Are you tired?Copy !req
130. Giuliana, are you tired?Copy !req
131. I'm always tired.Copy !req
132. No, not always. Sometimes.Copy !req
133. Where are we going?Copy !req
134. I don't know. I thought you -Copy !req
135. Good-bye.Copy !req
136. Can I give you a ride?Copy !req
137. What are you doing now?Copy !req
138. I should go to Ferrara.Copy !req
139. Right now?Copy !req
140. Because I have to go home now,Copy !req
141. but perhaps this afternoon...Copy !req
142. - Are these okay?
- No, I want those.Copy !req
143. - They cost more.
- It doesn't matter.Copy !req
144. They're still alive.
- All right.Copy !req
145. Some fish are amazing.Copy !req
146. Down deep on the sea bed,
there are even transparent fish.Copy !req
147. Did you know that?Copy !req
148. Please don't tell me these things.
They scare me.Copy !req
149. You can't imagine
the things I'm afraid of.Copy !req
150. So you have to love
an animal to eat it?Copy !req
151. Yes, perhaps that's true.Copy !req
152. Give me an example.Copy !req
153. I don't know.Copy !req
154. Little chicks?Copy !req
155. Or maybe kittens?Copy !req
156. Soft, sleek little kitties?Copy !req
157. Come on.Copy !req
158. Could you eat me too?Copy !req
159. If I loved you.Copy !req
160. Is Mario home?Copy !req
161. When is he due back?Copy !req
162. In just a bit.
But sometimes he's late.Copy !req
163. May we wait?Copy !req
164. Of course.Copy !req
165. - Make yourselves at home.
- Thank you.Copy !req
166. A little wine?Copy !req
167. Please don't bother.Copy !req
168. I'll have some.Copy !req
169. - Be honest. Did he tell you?
- Who?Copy !req
170. Ugo. About the accident.Copy !req
171. Yes. But it was
nothing serious, right?Copy !req
172. He told me you were
in the hospital a whileCopy !req
173. due to the shock.Copy !req
174. - I met a girl.
- Where?Copy !req
175. - There.
- In the hospital?Copy !req
176. She was very sick.Copy !req
177. She wanted it all.Copy !req
178. Meaning what?Copy !req
179. The doctor kept telling her,
"You must learn to love...Copy !req
180. someone or something.Copy !req
181. Your husband, your son,Copy !req
182. a job, even a dog.Copy !req
183. But not husband, son, job,
dog, tree, river..."Copy !req
184. Did she ever tell you
what she was feeling?Copy !req
185. Like there was
no ground beneath her...Copy !req
186. like she was sliding
down a slope...Copy !req
187. sinking...Copy !req
188. always on the verge of drowning...Copy !req
189. with nothing around her.Copy !req
190. Not even her husband?Copy !req
191. Not even him.
And anyway, he was away.Copy !req
192. Not even her son?Copy !req
193. Yes, he was there.Copy !req
194. But that girl...Copy !req
195. had no children.Copy !req
196. By the time she left the hospital,
she was wondering,Copy !req
197. "Who am I?"Copy !req
198. She asked me...Copy !req
199. to explain it to her.Copy !req
200. But she's all better now.Copy !req
201. Where's your husband
working now, ma'am?Copy !req
202. At a radio observatory
in Medicina.Copy !req
203. Did you come to offer him a job?Copy !req
204. One that pays very well.Copy !req
205. Where?Copy !req
206. If it's far away,
I'd prefer things stay as they are.Copy !req
207. It might not be for long.Copy !req
208. Once he went away
for a family funeral,Copy !req
209. and I thought
I'd go crazy from fear.Copy !req
210. If you like,
you could join him later.Copy !req
211. Does your wife do that?Copy !req
212. Know what we'll do?Copy !req
213. We'll go talk to him in Medicina.Copy !req
214. He won't say no.Copy !req
215. There he is.Copy !req
216. Hello.Copy !req
217. - Oh, it's you.
- How are you?Copy !req
218. Are you well?
- Yes.Copy !req
219. I'm fine. And you?Copy !req
220. I'm very well too, thanks.Copy !req
221. This man wants a word with you.Copy !req
222. May I ask you something?Copy !req
223. Go right ahead.Copy !req
224. Who owns all this?Copy !req
225. The University of Bologna.Copy !req
226. Aren't you scared up there?Copy !req
227. No, I'm used to it.Copy !req
228. What's all this for?Copy !req
229. It's a radio telescope
to listen to the stars.Copy !req
230. - May I listen?
- You'd have to climb up here.Copy !req
231. - You knew him and didn't tell me?
- No, I just met him.Copy !req
232. No, the other one.Copy !req
233. He used to live near me.Copy !req
234. What did he say?Copy !req
235. Nothing doing.Copy !req
236. I'd have to offer him a fortune.Copy !req
237. What?Copy !req
238. Good-bye now.Copy !req
239. What a shame.Copy !req
240. Waste from all these factories
has to go somewhere.Copy !req
241. Well, you've all stopped
fishing here now.Copy !req
242. We stopped for a sandwich
in Medicina the other day,Copy !req
243. and a man in the restaurant -
You remember?Copy !req
244. He complained that his eel
tasted like petroleum.Copy !req
245. I haven't been here in two years.
I've let it fall apart.Copy !req
246. Sometimes I feel like I have
no right to be where I am.Copy !req
247. Perhaps that's why I keep moving.Copy !req
248. - Take my gloves.
- I'm warm enough like this.Copy !req
249. With all your shoes,
you come out here in those?Copy !req
250. Know what we'll do?Copy !req
251. Let's wait for them in the car.
We can turn on the heat.Copy !req
252. Shall we?
- Sure.Copy !req
253. Where were you
the day of Giuliana's accident?Copy !req
254. In London. Why?Copy !req
255. Did you come back?Copy !req
256. No, they said there was no need,
that I could -Copy !req
257. Did Giuliana complain about that?Copy !req
258. No, not at all.Copy !req
259. Then why do you ask?Copy !req
260. There's smoke over at ANIC.
Is the strike over?Copy !req
261. I don't know. I think so.Copy !req
262. Are you a leftist or a rightist?Copy !req
263. Why do you ask such a question?
Are you interested in politics?Copy !req
264. Good Lord, no.
I was just wondering.Copy !req
265. It's like asking,
"What do you believe in?"Copy !req
266. Those are big words
that call for precise answers.Copy !req
267. Deep down...Copy !req
268. one doesn't really know
what one believes in.Copy !req
269. One believes in humanity...Copy !req
270. in a certain sense.Copy !req
271. A little less in justice.Copy !req
272. A little more in progress.Copy !req
273. One believes in socialism...
perhaps.Copy !req
274. What matters is
to act as one thinks right -Copy !req
275. right for oneself and for others.Copy !req
276. In other words,
with a clean conscience.Copy !req
277. Mine is at peace.Copy !req
278. Does that answer your question?Copy !req
279. That's some bunch of words
you strung together.Copy !req
280. There they are.Copy !req
281. - Mr. Corrado Zeller.
- German?Copy !req
282. No. I'll lay out
my whole pedigree, if you like.Copy !req
283. Actually, my name's
half German too. I'm Max.Copy !req
284. My wife.Copy !req
285. - Pleased to meet you.
- How are you?Copy !req
286. This wasn't a great spot to meet.Copy !req
287. It's my fault.Copy !req
288. I knew that already,Copy !req
289. so I had some fish cooked up
at my shack on the water.Copy !req
290. Caught fresh from out at sea.Copy !req
291. Shall we?Copy !req
292. - Let's go. Where's Mili?
- She's meeting us there.Copy !req
293. Giuliana, are you coming?Copy !req
294. What are you looking at?Copy !req
295. Come on.Copy !req
296. Trust me.
These are quail eggs.Copy !req
297. Yeah, sure.Copy !req
298. Think I don't know?
I raise quail.Copy !req
299. The eggs contain a stimulating
substance. Right, Ugo?Copy !req
300. It's true.
They're an aphrodisiac.Copy !req
301. - Much more than fertilized eggs.
- Than what?Copy !req
302. What are you talking about?Copy !req
303. Where are you from?
Don't you know about them?Copy !req
304. Hatched eggs.Copy !req
305. There's a treatment you do
from fall to spring.Copy !req
306. You swallow them on the ninth day,Copy !req
307. just before the yolk
turns into a chick.Copy !req
308. I've had them.
I got them from the monks.Copy !req
309. They had two dark spots,
and I'd ask,Copy !req
310. "What are those, Father?"
"The eyes, my son.Copy !req
311. Down the hatch without looking."Copy !req
312. And that's what you did.Copy !req
313. I never touched your eggs.Copy !req
314. Mili, eggs or no eggs,
you always have bedroom eyes.Copy !req
315. Where's Augusto?Copy !req
316. - I dumped him.
- Since when?Copy !req
317. I can't go to bed with a man
who earns less than me.Copy !req
318. - You know this game?
- What game?Copy !req
319. What do you feel?Copy !req
320. Not much.Copy !req
321. Try me.
You'll get a better reaction.Copy !req
322. Man, is that nice!Copy !req
323. Don't get carried away, dear.Copy !req
324. What is it?Copy !req
325. What have you got in there?Copy !req
326. - Does it work right away?
- Does it ever!Copy !req
327. Eat 'em all.Copy !req
328. Come on.
They could make her sick.Copy !req
329. Would you bring me one?
You could have told us, Max.Copy !req
330. Keep quiet.
You're too excited as it is.Copy !req
331. Turn on that radio.Copy !req
332. Well?
- What do you feel?Copy !req
333. Nothing yet.Copy !req
334. - It's too soon.
- It's only been a second.Copy !req
335. I may be wrong...Copy !req
336. but I really think...Copy !req
337. I want to make love.Copy !req
338. Let's drink to that, everyone!Copy !req
339. Oh God, I'm sorry.Copy !req
340. - Sorry.
- Don't worry.Copy !req
341. Look who's here.Copy !req
342. Sorry, Mr. Max.
I had no idea that -Copy !req
343. Don't worry, Orlando.
Come in.Copy !req
344. Who's the lady?Copy !req
345. Come on in, miss.Copy !req
346. Get a load of that!Copy !req
347. Have a drink.
The wine's on the table.Copy !req
348. One of my workers.Copy !req
349. He's a stallion - a new girl
every other day. He's incredible.Copy !req
350. What's this lovely lady's name?
- Iole.Copy !req
351. Just like my boat.Copy !req
352. You two would be interested
in our conversation.Copy !req
353. Didn't you tell me
about that ointment -Copy !req
354. What ointment?Copy !req
355. The one some Africans use...
to last longer. What was it again?Copy !req
356. Oh, that. It's nothing.Copy !req
357. Just some crocodile fat
and pungent herbsCopy !req
358. that they smear on before they -
- Smear on what?Copy !req
359. Mili, don't play dumb.Copy !req
360. It works for hours.Copy !req
361. Hear that, Mili?Copy !req
362. It works for hours.Copy !req
363. I don't believe it.Copy !req
364. It's true.Copy !req
365. You have no idea
what men in other countries do.Copy !req
366. For example,
in Jordan I saw men eatCopy !req
367. mutton fat and honey for breakfast.Copy !req
368. What about the Chinese?
They eat ground rhinoceros horn.Copy !req
369. Dried shark fin
is an energy booster too.Copy !req
370. I confess that I've tried royal jelly,
and it works. Right, Linda?Copy !req
371. - What's that?
- Honey from the queen bee.Copy !req
372. It's rejuvenating.
Remember that in your old age, miss.Copy !req
373. Assuming she still wants
to make love then.Copy !req
374. What do you say to that?Copy !req
375. I'd rather do certain things
than talk about them.Copy !req
376. - Good for you!
- Why?Copy !req
377. When all else fails,
I like talking too.Copy !req
378. Because you're a pig.Copy !req
379. Why's it so cold in here?Copy !req
380. Aren't you cold?Copy !req
381. Yes, I am.Copy !req
382. - Max, where's the firewood?
- It's there. Look around.Copy !req
383. - This isn't much.
- I'll find you some.Copy !req
384. Look.Copy !req
385. What's going on?Copy !req
386. Maybe due to the fog.Copy !req
387. It's stopping.Copy !req
388. Any like that
come from South America?Copy !req
389. Yes, big ships that tie up
at the SAROM offshore rig.Copy !req
390. It gives me an idea.Copy !req
391. Why not load equipment here
instead of Naples or Genoa?Copy !req
392. It'd be quicker
and probably cheaper.Copy !req
393. They go back empty, right?Copy !req
394. Mili, if you're interested,Copy !req
395. that guy oughta be horny.Copy !req
396. He hasn't seen a woman
in two months.Copy !req
397. I liked that game.
Know any more?Copy !req
398. Lots.Copy !req
399. Where did you learn them?Copy !req
400. Just where do you think?Copy !req
401. You little devil.Copy !req
402. - I hate him.
- Who?Copy !req
403. Your husband.Copy !req
404. He's like a vulture,
always ready to swoop downCopy !req
405. on a factory in bankruptcy
or a woman in distress.Copy !req
406. You'll see.Copy !req
407. He'll end up
getting his way with me too.Copy !req
408. They're usually oil tankers, right?
Would they take on cargo?Copy !req
409. Probably.
There's always a dry hold.Copy !req
410. Here.Copy !req
411. You know...Copy !req
412. it's true what I said.
I do want to make love.Copy !req
413. But how can we?Copy !req
414. Want to know a secret?
Never chase after deals.Copy !req
415. I let them come to me.Copy !req
416. I'm not chasing after anything.Copy !req
417. I look for them
because I enjoy it.Copy !req
418. Because...Copy !req
419. sometimes you need
a fresh direction in your life and work.Copy !req
420. Traveling makes sense...Copy !req
421. if you change
your historical setting, if I may.Copy !req
422. Otherwise what's the use?Copy !req
423. I'm not convinced.Copy !req
424. In two years
I've bought two lotsCopy !req
425. and immediately resold them.Copy !req
426. This shack -
- You're selling this too?Copy !req
427. Already did -
to that worker of mine.Copy !req
428. Buy quick and sell quick.Copy !req
429. What are you doing?Copy !req
430. I'm freezing to death.Copy !req
431. Come on, help me.Copy !req
432. Come on. Stop it.Copy !req
433. Come on.Copy !req
434. Stir the fire.
It'll catch better.Copy !req
435. Let's burn the whole thing.Copy !req
436. - Who cares?
- Take this.Copy !req
437. Orlando just bought it.Copy !req
438. What about this one?Copy !req
439. It's never still.Copy !req
440. Never.Copy !req
441. I can't look at the sea for long...Copy !req
442. or I lose interest
in what's happening on land.Copy !req
443. Sometimes I wonder...Copy !req
444. if it isn't pointless
taking our work so seriously.Copy !req
445. Don't you find it absurd too?Copy !req
446. I feel like my eyes are all wet.Copy !req
447. What do people expect me
to do with my eyes?Copy !req
448. What am I supposed to look at?Copy !req
449. You wonder what to look at.Copy !req
450. I wonder how to live.Copy !req
451. Same thing.Copy !req
452. It's the doctor!Copy !req
453. He's come for the person
who cried out a while ago.Copy !req
454. - The ship wasn't even here yet.
- What do you mean?Copy !req
455. It pulled up
while I was building the fire.Copy !req
456. You're crazy.
It's been there half an hour.Copy !req
457. Did you hear a cry?Copy !req
458. I wasn't listening.Copy !req
459. Is this a joke?Copy !req
460. You read it in your novel.Copy !req
461. You think so?Copy !req
462. Maybe.Copy !req
463. I heard it.Copy !req
464. Let's drop it, please.
What's it matter?Copy !req
465. It matters.Copy !req
466. Someone cried out.
Linda didn't make it up.Copy !req
467. All right, Giuliana.
Someone cried out.Copy !req
468. Don't just agree as if I was -Copy !req
469. Who could have cried out?
We're practically out at sea.Copy !req
470. Linda, why did you say maybe?Copy !req
471. Did I?Copy !req
472. Good heavens!Copy !req
473. It has to be smallpox,
cholera or leprosy.Copy !req
474. Don't get carried away.Copy !req
475. - One or two flags for infectious diseases?
- One.Copy !req
476. Let's get out of here.Copy !req
477. Please, Ugo,
let's leave right now.Copy !req
478. - It's probably just a precaution.
- A case of colic.Copy !req
479. - I say we wait for the doctor.
- You even know him, Giuliana.Copy !req
480. We'll ask him -
- We won't ask him anything.Copy !req
481. Where are my gloves?Copy !req
482. Let's go.Copy !req
483. Have you got my purse?Copy !req
484. It's on the step.Copy !req
485. I'll get it.Copy !req
486. No, forget it! I don't care!Copy !req
487. I've had shots for everything.Copy !req
488. I don't care!
I don't want you to!Copy !req
489. - There's no risk.
- No, I tell you!Copy !req
490. Don't be silly.
Get in the car. I'll go.Copy !req
491. Corrado, wait. I'll go.Copy !req
492. I'm sorry, Ugo.
I made a mistake.Copy !req
493. Didn't you see the ship?
First you're scared, and then -Copy !req
494. No, I didn't see it.Copy !req
495. I just wanted to drive home.Copy !req
496. The fog confused me,
and I made a mistake.Copy !req
497. I swear it!Copy !req
498. What are you crying about!Copy !req
499. Very nice.Copy !req
500. I'm packing your bags.
How long's your trip?Copy !req
501. Five or six days.Copy !req
502. Mommy,
how much is one plus one?Copy !req
503. - Two, of course.
- No. Look.Copy !req
504. Let's see.Copy !req
505. Careful.Copy !req
506. How many are there?Copy !req
507. One. It's true.Copy !req
508. Imagine that.Copy !req
509. Why not ask Linda to stay here
while I'm gone?Copy !req
510. Why?Copy !req
511. So someone's there
if you wake up in the night.Copy !req
512. Yes...Copy !req
513. I could ask her.Copy !req
514. Maybe I better not.Copy !req
515. Look how nice.Copy !req
516. See that?Copy !req
517. You see?Copy !req
518. Look how it spins.Copy !req
519. Stand it on its edge.Copy !req
520. Know why it doesn't fall?
There's a gyroscope inside.Copy !req
521. What's that?Copy !req
522. A device used on ships
to steady them on rough seas.Copy !req
523. Good-bye.Copy !req
524. It's half the cost
in materials and labor.Copy !req
525. It docks in Buenos Aires,
but that's fine.Copy !req
526. What are you taking with you?Copy !req
527. Generators, cranes, pipes -
equipment for the factory.Copy !req
528. No, I mean your things.Copy !req
529. Personal belongings.Copy !req
530. Nothing.Copy !req
531. Two or three bags.Copy !req
532. If I were to go away,Copy !req
533. I'd take everything.Copy !req
534. Everything I see.Copy !req
535. All the things I use every day.Copy !req
536. Even the ashtrays.Copy !req
537. Then you might
as well just stay put.Copy !req
538. You'd just end up
missing everything:Copy !req
539. the street where you live,
your city.Copy !req
540. You see in classified ads:Copy !req
541. "For sale.
Owner must relocate."Copy !req
542. As if it were an excuse
to abandon everything...Copy !req
543. or almost.Copy !req
544. Why?
It shouldn't be like that.Copy !req
545. How can you predict
what you'll need?Copy !req
546. And the things and people
you leave behind -Copy !req
547. will they be there
when you go back?Copy !req
548. And will they be the same?Copy !req
549. Maybe you don't go back.Copy !req
550. If I were to leave never to return,Copy !req
551. I'd take you with me too.Copy !req
552. You're part of me now.Copy !req
553. I mean, part of everything
around me.Copy !req
554. If Ugo had looked at me
the way you have these few days,Copy !req
555. he'd have understood lots of things.Copy !req
556. About the accident?Copy !req
557. And your friend at the hospital?Copy !req
558. Was that girl you?Copy !req
559. I didn't want to tell you this.Copy !req
560. I was ashamed.Copy !req
561. Not even Ugo knows.Copy !req
562. The doctors promised not to tell.Copy !req
563. I tried to kill myself.Copy !req
564. Remember that worker in Medicina?Copy !req
565. He was in the hospital when I was.Copy !req
566. He was very sick.Copy !req
567. Did he try...Copy !req
568. to kill himself too?Copy !req
569. No, he didn't.Copy !req
570. He must be better
if he's back to work.Copy !req
571. And how are you?Copy !req
572. Fine.Copy !req
573. As you see,
Patagonia is near the South Pole.Copy !req
574. You arrive in Buenos Aires
and then flyCopy !req
575. to Comodoro Rivadavia.Copy !req
576. From there we take you inland,
300 miles from Caleta Olivia.Copy !req
577. And housing?Copy !req
578. - Who guarantees our wages?
- One at a time.Copy !req
579. - What?
- What about housing?Copy !req
580. Prefabs with every comfort.Copy !req
581. How do we know
you'll pay to the end?Copy !req
582. Can we get a guarantee?Copy !req
583. A deposit in a bank or something?Copy !req
584. We'll discuss all that.Copy !req
585. One thing at a time. Be patient.Copy !req
586. Is there a hospital?Copy !req
587. Yes, very well-equipped,
with an Italian doctor,Copy !req
588. from Turin.Copy !req
589. When can we send for our wives?Copy !req
590. It'll be at least a year.Copy !req
591. But you can phone once a month.
- Who pays?Copy !req
592. The company.
Of course, if you call more often -Copy !req
593. - Can we get the sports newspapers?
- Yes.Copy !req
594. You can get all the Italian newspapers,
though a few days late.Copy !req
595. Is there TV?Copy !req
596. Do the women there
really go topless?Copy !req
597. Now you're pushing it!Copy !req
598. He says he can't stand up.
His legs hurt.Copy !req
599. What's all this about?Copy !req
600. What's going on?Copy !req
601. Where's it hurt?Copy !req
602. Here?Copy !req
603. What about here?Copy !req
604. Here?Copy !req
605. Does this hurt?Copy !req
606. I can't feel it.Copy !req
607. You can't feel it?Copy !req
608. You can't feel this?Copy !req
609. I know.Copy !req
610. You don't want to go
to kindergarten this morning.Copy !req
611. Look at that!Copy !req
612. Come see the nice ship.Copy !req
613. It's so big!Copy !req
614. It's all white.Copy !req
615. Come look.Copy !req
616. Come look.Copy !req
617. My love...Copy !req
618. if you don't tell me what hurts,
what can I do?Copy !req
619. Tell me.
What do you feel?Copy !req
620. - I'll try to pick him up.
- Yes, do.Copy !req
621. There.Copy !req
622. My God, you can't stand up!Copy !req
623. Darling, please tell me.Copy !req
624. Or else how
can I help you get better?Copy !req
625. Hold him up.Copy !req
626. How can this be?Copy !req
627. Come here.Copy !req
628. My darling...Copy !req
629. how did this start?Copy !req
630. Tell me.Copy !req
631. Did you wake up this way,Copy !req
632. or was it last night?Copy !req
633. Tell me, sweetheart.
Get a thermometer.Copy !req
634. Has he had all his polio shots?Copy !req
635. Of course. Think the doctor
would overlook that?Copy !req
636. Then why 24 hours
for a diagnosis?Copy !req
637. No, I can't wait that long.Copy !req
638. I'm calling another doctor.Copy !req
639. I'm tired of this game.Copy !req
640. Draw me another picture.Copy !req
641. Why don't you tell me a story?Copy !req
642. I've told you
all the stories I know.Copy !req
643. How about
the story from yesterday?Copy !req
644. - Which one?
- About the kite.Copy !req
645. Why don't you rest a while?Copy !req
646. I'll tell you the story later.Copy !req
647. There was a girl
who lived on an island.Copy !req
648. Grown-ups bored her
and frightened her too.Copy !req
649. She didn't like kids her age.
They all pretended to be grown up.Copy !req
650. So she was always alone...Copy !req
651. with the cormorants...Copy !req
652. seagulls...Copy !req
653. and wild rabbits.Copy !req
654. She'd discovered
a small beach far from townCopy !req
655. with crystal-clear water
and pink sand.Copy !req
656. She loved that spot.Copy !req
657. The colors of nature
were so beautiful,Copy !req
658. and there was no noise.Copy !req
659. She'd leaveCopy !req
660. only when the sun did too.Copy !req
661. One morning...Copy !req
662. a sailing ship appeared.Copy !req
663. It wasn't like the usual boats
that passed by.Copy !req
664. This was a real sailing ship...Copy !req
665. the kind that had braved
stormy seas all over the world...Copy !req
666. and who knows -
maybe even beyond.Copy !req
667. Seen from afar,
it was a splendid sight.Copy !req
668. But up close...Copy !req
669. it took on a mysterious air.Copy !req
670. There was no one aboard.Copy !req
671. It paused for a few minutesCopy !req
672. and then turnedCopy !req
673. and sailed off...Copy !req
674. as silently as it had come.Copy !req
675. She was used to people's strange ways,
so she wasn't surprised.Copy !req
676. But no sooner
was she back on shore when...Copy !req
677. One mystery is all right,
but two are too many.Copy !req
678. Who was singing?
The beach was deserted like always,Copy !req
679. but there was that voice,Copy !req
680. sometimes near,Copy !req
681. sometimes far.Copy !req
682. At one point it seemed
to come from the sea itself...Copy !req
683. or from an inlet among the rocks,Copy !req
684. the numerous rocks...Copy !req
685. that she had never realized...Copy !req
686. were like flesh.Copy !req
687. And the voice...Copy !req
688. in that spot...Copy !req
689. sounded so sweet.Copy !req
690. Who was singing?Copy !req
691. Everything was singing.Copy !req
692. Everything.Copy !req
693. Ma'am.Copy !req
694. Your magazines.Copy !req
695. What's this?Copy !req
696. Why did you tell me -Copy !req
697. - What room is he in?
- Who, ma'am?Copy !req
698. Who?Copy !req
699. Do you remember the name?Copy !req
700. The name...Copy !req
701. Corrado.Copy !req
702. Mr. Zeller? Room 309.Copy !req
703. Do you have some ID?Copy !req
704. Get me 309.Copy !req
705. Your son?Copy !req
706. No, he's fine.Copy !req
707. He doesn't need me.Copy !req
708. It's me who needs him.Copy !req
709. What's going on?Copy !req
710. My hair hurts...Copy !req
711. my eyes,Copy !req
712. my throat, my mouth...Copy !req
713. Am I shaking?Copy !req
714. - A bit. Maybe it's the cold.
- Yes, I am cold.Copy !req
715. I'm cold.Copy !req
716. You don't love me, do you?Copy !req
717. Why do you ask that?Copy !req
718. I don't even know myself.Copy !req
719. I never get enough.Copy !req
720. Why must I always need
other people?Copy !req
721. I must be an idiot.Copy !req
722. That's why I can't seem to manage.Copy !req
723. You know what I'd like?Copy !req
724. I'd like everyone
who's ever cared about me...Copy !req
725. here around me now,Copy !req
726. like a wall.Copy !req
727. Won't you tell me what's happened?Copy !req
728. Nothing.Copy !req
729. Go figure.Copy !req
730. Nothing.Copy !req
731. I didn't get better.Copy !req
732. I'll never get better.Copy !req
733. Never.Copy !req
734. You brood on your illness,Copy !req
735. but it's just an illness,
like any other.Copy !req
736. We all suffer from it a bit.Copy !req
737. In one way or another,
we all need to get better.Copy !req
738. I wonder if there's
some place in this worldCopy !req
739. where people go to get better.Copy !req
740. Probably not.Copy !req
741. You're probably right.Copy !req
742. We run around and around
but end up the same as before.Copy !req
743. That's what's happening to me.Copy !req
744. I feel no different
than six years ago.Copy !req
745. But I don't know...Copy !req
746. if that makes me
want to leave or stay.Copy !req
747. When are you leaving?Copy !req
748. I don't know.Copy !req
749. - What are you looking at?
- There.Copy !req
750. Sometimes
I want to attack someone.Copy !req
751. Is that a bad sign?Copy !req
752. Because sometimes I too -Copy !req
753. Help me.Copy !req
754. Help me, please.Copy !req
755. I'm afraid I just won't make it.Copy !req
756. I'm scared.
- Calm down.Copy !req
757. What are you scared of?Copy !req
758. Streets, factories,Copy !req
759. colors, people - everything!Copy !req
760. Giuliana,
what are you planning to do?Copy !req
761. - Nothing.
- This is absurd.Copy !req
762. It's no use worrying about me.
That's all anyone's done for months.Copy !req
763. I see the doctors,
who tell me all about myself,Copy !req
764. but it's when I'm alone
that I feel sick!Copy !req
765. I can't take it anymore!Copy !req
766. I've done everything...Copy !req
767. to "readjust to reality"...Copy !req
768. as they say at the hospital.Copy !req
769. It seems I may have succeeded...Copy !req
770. and even managed
to be unfaithful to my husband.Copy !req
771. You mustn't think about these things.Copy !req
772. Sure, just don't think about them.Copy !req
773. Great solution.Copy !req
774. There's something terrible
about reality,Copy !req
775. and I don't know what it is.Copy !req
776. No one will tell me.Copy !req
777. Even you didn't help me, Corrado.Copy !req
778. Excuse me.
Could you tell me -Copy !req
779. I didn't mean...Copy !req
780. Does this ship take passengers?Copy !req
781. I mean, I haven't really
made up my mind yet.Copy !req
782. I can't decide...Copy !req
783. because I'm not a single woman.Copy !req
784. Though sometimes...Copy !req
785. I feel sort of... separated.Copy !req
786. No, not from my husband.Copy !req
787. Our bodies are all separate.Copy !req
788. If you prick me...Copy !req
789. you don't suffer.Copy !req
790. What was I saying?Copy !req
791. Oh, right.
I've been sick...Copy !req
792. but I mustn't think about that.Copy !req
793. I mean...Copy !req
794. I have to think...Copy !req
795. that everything that happens to meCopy !req
796. is my life.Copy !req
797. That's all.Copy !req
798. I'm sorry.Copy !req
799. Forgive me.Copy !req
800. Valerio.Copy !req
801. Valerio, let's go.Copy !req
802. - Why's it do that?
- I don't know.Copy !req
803. Careful.Copy !req
804. Why is that smoke yellow?Copy !req
805. Because it's poisonous.Copy !req
806. You mean if a little birdie
flies there, it'll die?Copy !req
807. The little birdies know by now.Copy !req
808. They don't fly there anymore.Copy !req
809. Let's go.Copy !req
