All language subtitles for Dancing on the Moon (1997)

How much more you got?

You guys almost ready?

You're quite sure you got everything,
right?

I mean, it doesn't seem like much for a
whole summer.

This is all I'll need.

I'm sure of that.

Well, we can always send you whatever
you've forgotten.

I haven't forgotten anything, Dad.

She's so confident.

It's like she's a doctor already.

Come on, Doc. We got an emergency here.

Maddie's still sleeping.

Tell her I'll call her later, okay?

Right.

I'll miss you. Miss you too, Mom.

Go on now.

Don't be so dramatic, Maddie. I'll be
back in a few weeks for Aunt Helen's

wedding. But you said you'd wake me.
Come on, Maddie. We're in a hurry.

We're up all night.

But I'm not tired.

It'll be okay, all right?

Bye. Bye.

See you guys.

I'll miss you.

Come on in, Maddie. And put something on
your feet.

Come on.

Why didn't you wake me? You're supposed
to listen when I tell you important

stuff.

What's wrong with you? You never listen
to me at all anymore.

Can't you pay more attention? Maddie!

Stop talking to Rex and come in.

Aye, aye, Captain.

I mean, don't look at me like that.

You know you didn't listen to what I
said. And you promised to wake me up.

Oh, Maddie, when are you going to grow
up?

Oh, come on, Rex.

It's time to listen up.

And I mean it.

What do you think?

Sure.

You can come with me.

But you better behave.

you cold or something ha ha it's fourth
day at school and trying out for the

winter olympics going up there to change
into shorts now but mom i want to wear

this good morning hi hey get off my
toast hey not on your life

Maddy, now.

It's his turn, you know. He did it
yesterday, dear.

Don't drop the tray.

Hey, are you competing?

Yeah, long jump, man high jump.

Long jump?

You did great, Maddie.

Better than in the high jump anyway.

I'm through.

Untie this for me.

I'm thirsty. Let's pick us up in cold.

Hey, Maddie.

How was long jump?

Don't ask.

She did better than in the high jump.

Hey, Maddie.

I was wondering if you could, like, turn
a little, please?

Yeah, and I was wondering if you could
just evaporate?

Now!

Hey, what's going on? Please!

The place is somewhere else.

Bug off, Freddie Green!

Come on, Willie!

Come here, show it to me!

Think there's any chance people could
grow up over one summer?

I've heard it takes boys a lot longer.
Show it to me. That's because their

skulls are thicker.

I can't wait till high school.

We'll be way more mature then.

Maddie Morrison to the judges' stand.

Maddie Morrison to the judges' stand.
What?

You better go, Maddie.

Maddie, am I glad to see you.

Sheila sprained her ankle. She can't run
in the girls' relay race. You'll have to

take her place.

What? Why me?

Come on, you're a great runner.

Yeah, right.

I'll make a fool of myself three times
in one day.

Come on, girl, get on with you. You'll
be fine.

It's just a stupid, dumb ray.

Hey, Maddie!

Maddie! Are you going to run, Maddie?
Are you going to run? Go away, Jamie.

You better help me more than you did
with the high dump.

He's so immature.

She's talking to him again.

Take care of this. You can do it,
Maddie. Good luck.

Don't worry, Maddie. Rex is going to
help you.

On your mark.

Did you hear what I said?

Come on, boy.

Grab her leg, boy.

Rub, boy.

That's it.

Aye. Aye, that's right.

Get off my stick, you dog.

What are you doing?

I'm just playing. Thank you. Come on,
Maddie. Let's get out of here.

felt my leg oh yeah you're what oh i

don't know but i will think of something

hey guys like like

how's it going

What? He comes over here.

He is sort of cute, you know.

Remember that Valentine he sent you?

Wendy, that was in grade four.

I'm out of here.

What's with her?

Hi, Maddie.

Hey, Freddie, where's he going?

Wanted to, like, give you a... So, uh,

are you, like, going to graduation?

See you, like, later, okay?

Are you just gonna sit there?

Hi.

Hi. How are the games?

Fine. And how did he do?

Okay, I guess.

Hungry? No, I ate already.

French fries and gravy.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Oh, I put some new clothes on your bed.

They're from Aunt Kate.

Oh, no, no, no.

Why me?

No one else in the whole world has...
twin cousins, and gets handed down two

of every lousy everything.

Do we know anybody we don't like enough
to give these to?

Thanks.

It must be from another planet.

Don't you think so?

Are you talking to Rex again?

Did he help you in the race? Hey, none
of your business. Get lost. Go!

On second thought, come back here.

No way.

You're nuts.

I need your help.

For what?

Help me move this.

This too. Why are you moving everything?

Because this is my room now.

Cool.

What is she doing?

I don't know.

Maybe she's rearranging her doghouse.

Huh.

That's home.

Hi, Dad!

Hey, Jerry!

Guess what?

Maddie won the relay race and Freddie
Green robbed her leg.

Why don't you just eat them or
something?

Mom.

Mom. I just can't wear this dress to
graduation.

Oh, Maddie, stop complaining.

You should be grateful to Aunt Kate for
thinking of you.

Grateful for an endless supply of
identically awful dresses?

Honey, you look positively radiant
tonight.

hate to miss it but someone does have to
stay here and look after grandma and the

kid you really are too sweet my son i
know

But most of all, my fellow students,
with whom I have played and studied

since kindergarten, and who I am now
proud to call my friends.

For there is nothing more important than
friendship.

Thank you.

Just think, this is the very last time
we'll be here.

Can you believe it?

This is the very last time we'll walk in
these halls.

The very last... Wendy!

Jimmy Peebles, stop saying laugh.

Well, it is.

Wait.

There you are. I want to talk to you.

I just wanted to say that I'm going to
miss my terrible trio.

Work hard, and you'll do well in high
school.

Remember, you're all smart enough to be
whatever you want to be.

So don't settle for less.

Now get out of here.

We've got the whole summer.

Eight wonderful weeks of boys.

Beach. Book.

Book.

Boring.

Not as boring as boys.

Come on, you guys. It's summer.

Hey, goodbye, girls. Bye. See you later.

Oh, you're so lovely.

Bye.

Maddie?

I wanted to, like, um, like, uh, you.

Wasn't that the green boy?

Mm-hmm.

What's his name?

Freddy. Green?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, those greens.

Yes, yes, yes.

He's a little fellow, isn't he?

I bet he's going to shoot up this
summer.

And just imagine, next year you're going
to be in high school.

And lots of parties and dances.

Tyler Boyd!

Joe, stop teasing.

I like it in here.

W.G.

You know, beautiful women used

to sleep right here in this room.

These are the initials for a one and
only love.

He was an adventurer who sailed the
seven seas seeking a fortune for his

beloved.

But he was drowned.

And she used the diamond ring he gave
her to carve these initials.

WG.

Carved into this very wood.

Get my bag, Luciano.

Tell her to ship it.

Come on, Lucky, where are you?

A little help here?

Lucky, I have another customer for you.

What's going to be in the salad tonight?

No idea, Em. You just wait now.

Joe Morrison, you're a sight for these
old eyes.

Charming young man. Is your Tiny Tim the
same?

Oh, my God.

The last time I saw him, he was in
diapers.

The last time you saw him, we still
called him Tiny Tim.

Mother. Oh, yes.

Mother.

Where's my dirty food bag? Oh, there.

I thought you were asleep.

Well, I'm not. Who is she?

That is our long-lost Aunt Ruth, who
says she's come to look after Grandma

for a little while.

Oh, and if I know our mother, she's
gonna be your new roommate.

I don't want a new roommate.

She seems better.

I mean, better than I feared.

But then, he's always been a survivor.

Some days, we all get along.

Thank God Joe is Joe. Wow.

You

should have had

a dozen.

Thanks, Mr. Thame, but four is plenty.

And you?

No regrets?

I wouldn't change a thing.

Well, maybe a couple, you know.

But when I'm back here and I see you and
Joe and everything you have,

I can't help but think how different
things might have been.

But, no, I still don't think staying
here...

was or is for me.

Now this is the one I've been waiting to
see.

This is your Aunt Ruth, Maddie.

Madeline!

How do you do?

You're gonna break some hearts, my
darling.

Um, not my most attractive vice.

What a perfect day for the feet. Maddie,
you have your piano lesson at 11.

Oh, but I told Sarah and Wendy that I
meet them at the beach.

Tomorrow's another day you have a piano
lesson.

Maddie, can you go see what your
grandmother wants?

Why do I have to?

Maddie.

It's okay, Maddie. Let me.

I had to share my room with her.

It's a mess. Remember? I stole this farm
for it.

Lovely, lovely, Marty.

Now I can see that the practice is
working well. What about the little

walls?

I was just on my way to the beach.

And I saw your bike here.

So can I have it now?

Yeah, sure.

I'm sorry.

So what are you doing for the summer?

Are you going to go to the beach?

Well, maybe we could go to a movie.

Are you, like, going to the dance
Saturday?

What the... This isn't just a visit.

The major takeover.

No, I can't buy you that one.

It'll have to be me.

Dad!

I want my room back.

Oh.

Yeah, I know, honey.

Unfortunately, one of life's truly
amazing human beings has come to stay

with us.

Amazing?

What's so amazing about her anyway?

Well, I guess she's always been a little
bit bigger than life.

You know what I mean?

Certainly bigger than me or your
mothers.

And you know, in some ways, you remind
me of her.

I do?

Yeah. If you're so amazing, why don't
you try finding the carburetor?

go away mad.

Stop aggravating your sister, Tim.

Yeah, stop aggravating your sister, Tim.

Hey, you're a cutie.

Lithering Heights.

W. T.

I

just

couldn't get out of bed this morning.

I'm going to be wasted for the sleepover
tonight.

You think you have problems?

How would you like to share a room with
an aunt who shows up out of nowhere?

What aunt?

Who? Maddie's Aunt Ruth.

She'd come for a visit.

She sounds pretty terrific to me.

Mysterious and exotic.

No, she's not.

And the house takes cigarettes.

She smokes tons of them.

And her clothes are all over my room.

Hey guys, get a load of that.

You have to get one of those bathing
suits.

Not me.

You couldn't hold it up.

You guys are so immature.

She said she'd come for a short visit.

I thought so, too.

Wow, Whitney.

Yeah.

Hey.

Don't touch her stuff.

She doesn't like people meddling in her
things.

I was just looking.

Is that her?

What's she doing?

Huh?

Maddie, come look.

What? That is too weird.

Yeah. I told you she was weird.

Hey, don't touch my stuff either. Oh,
come on.

Such a baby.

What is this?

Why do you have Freddy's picture?

Huh?

I was just using it as a bookmark.

That's all.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Just a bookmark? It was. I swear.

You're right, Maddie. Yeah.

teasing me and Maddie won't listen. Hey,
Maddie, it's Ann on the phone. She wants

to talk to you. Oh, well, okay.

Wait for me.

Ann. A bookmark.

I'm not sure.

I guess he met him at school.

Hey, I hope his name's not Freddy.

Oh, don't even get around with that.
Come on, guys.

Let's go.

This

one's

perfect.

I'm going to get it for the first day of
high school.

And my hair?

Like that.

What do you think?

We're going to be dead for the dance
tomorrow night.

It doesn't take that much energy to
watch people dance.

You can watch if you want, Maddie, but
I'm going to dance.

Are your parents going?

Maybe they'll take your aunt, too.

No.

She's too happy making a mess of my
room.

Is Tim going?

I don't know.

you care.

You're curious, that's all.

I wonder if Freddy will be there.

Okay, please change the subject.

How about your parents?

No.

They don't go places they might run into
each other.

Maddie, do you really have to take this
thing everywhere you go?

Give it back!

Hey mom, I'm home.

Don't tell me you're stuck inside
reading on a beautiful day like this.

Oh.

At what time did you girls go to bed
last night?

I'm not sure.

Around one.

Mm-hmm.

What are you reading?

A tractor manual? Why are you reading
this?

Please, go tell Aunt Ruth that her
mother is ringing, okay?

Hi.

Mom wants you to go see Grandma.

Coming!

Really, I don't know how your poor
mother puts up with it.

What do you think?

I need something more.

Take a look in those drawers.

Maybe you'll find what you're looking
for.

Toodaloo.

Got it!

Hello?

Hi.

Wendy.

Yeah?

Cool. Sarah?

Well, of course you'd say that.

Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm.

I do.

Oh.

I gotta go.

Yeah, I'll pick you up.

My dearest Ruth, this is the last time I
will ask you to marry me.

Please come back.

I miss you.

Forever yours, WG.

WG?

WG!

I can't believe you dress like that.

Can you even dance in those suits?

We agreed to wear our favorite things.

No, we didn't. We agreed to wear
something we liked.

Well, I like these.

That's not the point.

Oh, come on.

He's

kind

of cute.

Looks like all the others.

He'll grow up to be boring.

He is grown up, Maddie.

Come on, Ben, let's be what we can be.

Maddie, grow up.

You're acting like an idiot.

People are watching.

I'm hungry.

Does anybody want french fries?

Sure.

Do you want us to bring you some back?

Would you?

Yeah.

Hi. Are you here for the summer?

What's your name?

Sarah.

And how old are you, Sarah?

How old do you think I am?

Well, not anymore.

So, what do you do for excitement?

I guess you're about six foot.

Where'd she go?

Probably went to the john, she took her
makeup.

WG was her lover. Hey, he's all yours.

No, not yet.

That was the deal.

Who wants to be with either of you?
Here. Jamie!

Jamie! Jamie!

Jamie,

come back here!

Manny, can I help?

Get off of my sister.

Stop

it.

This is enough.

Stop it.

Not now.

This is enough.

What is going on?

Cool it, twerp.

We were in a fight.

Freddy kissed Maddie. Then he hit Tim.

It's past his bedtime.

Take him home, would you?

Come on, you.

That

cute guy,

he kissed me.

It was amazing.

I think I'm in love.

He thought I was at least 16.

Sarah, you're pathetic.

He's just a dumb boy.

He is not.

And you're just jealous.

Jealous?

I'm going back.

He's waiting for me.

Where are you tonight, I wonder?

Jamie and Maddie sitting in peace.

Jamie, shut up.

Are you in love with Freddy? Jamie, I am
warning you.

Maddie. Hmm?

Remember when you told me how nothing
bad could happen because you had Rex to

watch out for you?

Who? Yeah, come on, you know.

Oh, him. I don't talk to him anymore.
But you do, right?

Yeah, I used to.

You go on in now, it's late.

Amazing, isn't it?

What?

Up there.

Heaven.

The cosmos.

Sometimes... I wish I could just rise
up.

You know, evaporate.

Like the mist.

Rise to each new day as to a lover.

With the embrace of dreams.

And the kiss of hope.

Aunt Ruth?

Have you ever been in love?

Maddie, bedtime.

And I'm in now.

Something told me we might be getting
around to that question pretty soon.

But not tonight.

It sounds like my little sister means
business.

Good night, sweetie.

Good night.

If you're supposed to take such good
care of me, where were you when Freddie

Green was on top of me?

I'd like to apologize.

I'm sorry for... No.

Maddie, please accept my sincerest
apologies.

My deepest apologies.

I'd like to apologize for my
ungentlemanly...

Like, damn it, I'm sorry.

Sorry. I didn't mean to, like, disturb
you.

Hey, I could use some company.

But, like, I'm it.

Nobody else appears to be around.

Were you, like, looking for anyone in
particular?

Oh, I know.

You're the boy in the picture.

You're Maddie's friend.

I am?

You really came to apologize?

We've been in the same class since
kindergarten.

Now, all of a sudden, everywhere I turn,
bam, there he is.

He gives me the creeps.

Sarah and Wendy are so crazy about boys.

It's so stupid.

Thing is, who or what to be crazy about?

Sometimes you have to trust your heart.

Is that what you did with WG?

I was just wondering, those initials.

And by accident, those letters, I saw
them.

Have you been reading my private
letters?

No, I mean, I didn't mean to.

Maddie, those letters are very private
and very precious.

And you did it too.

You took Freddy's picture out of the
garbage can.

I thought the picture had fallen in
there. I wasn't meddling in your...

Mom!

Mom?

You in here?

Over here.

What do you think, huh? Well, it's all
in pieces.

Of course.

That's how you fix it. You want to help?

No.

I'm bored.

Nothing ever happens around here.

I should have gone away.

Howdy ho, howdy ho.

How's my two favorite girls in the whole
wide world?

Let me guess. I said something wrong,
right?

Maddie?

Maddie, are you asleep?

Yes.

Hey, Rex.

Do you think she could suffocate in
there?

Leave Rex alone.

Come here. There's something I gotta
show you.

I don't want to talk to you.

Well, then don't.

Just come and see the moon.

It's got writing on it.

The moon's got writing on it.

I'm sure.

Come and see?

You can't see from there. Come here.

Where?

Look.

It says...

Never let fear stop you from dancing on
the moon.

I'm going swimming with Wendy. See you
later.

There's a storm coming.

Oh, this will blow over.

If lightning starts, get out of the
water.

All right, Captain.

And swim where the lifeguard is. And
don't go swimming right after eating.

Got it.

Oh, you can bring Wendy back for dinner.
Oh, great. Thanks.

Bye. Bye.

Guess who I just talked to? The Pope on
Northgate?

No.

Freddie. Wrong.

with his cousin.

He said he's going to meet us on the
beach.

Wrong!

Where are you going?

Swimming!

But that's not the way to the beach.

Maybe we should go to the sandy part.

It'll be okay.

This is such a good idea.

Oh, come on. We'll just have a quick dip
to cool off.

It looks really dangerous, Maddie.

Just relax.

There's real waves.

I really don't think

this is such a good idea.

Oh, Wendy.

Never let fear stop you from dancing on
the moon.

We were awfully lucky today, honey.

That siren was for a friend of yours,
Freddie Green.

He wasn't so lucky.

You and his cousin were fooling around,
swimming where they weren't supposed to.

Lifeguard got one, but Freddie didn't
make it.

Where are you going?

You should go back to sleep.

No.

Please stay.

I was so mean to him.

He was just trying.

You cry.

Watch this one right there.

So, are you, like, going to graduation?

All your favorites.

Chicken soup, grilled cheese, and a
pickle for dessert.

Maddie! Uh-oh, you better move the tray.

Maddie, what happened?

Hmm, you, come with me. Your sister
needs to rest.

But I... Come on. I thought you might
like something to read.

Mom, but I want to talk to Maddie.

Oh, sorry, this all the time.

I was hoping you'd like it.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Thanks for the magazine.

Oh, no problem.

Why didn't Rex help you?

I don't think Rex can hear me anymore.

When a young life is cut short, those of
us who

are left behind in our sorrow cannot
understand the mystery

and perhaps even question the justice of

God's plan.

I wish that

I, standing here before you today, could
provide you with some simple answer or

even a passage.

But I have to be honest with you, I
can't.

I see reflect me of Freddy in the faces
of every man, woman, and child assembled

here today.

By something that Freddy did or didn't
do or didn't say. By something he said

or done.

And this is what Jesus is doing.

I'm really sorry I never thanked you for
the Valentine.

I didn't mean to be mean.

Hi, honey.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah.

Been a rough week, huh?

Sure.

You want to talk about it?

He was just lying there.

I was just... It's okay.

It's okay.

Good morning.

Grandma wants to see you.

Okay.

Grandma? Grandma, are you awake?

Yours are the blue pieces.

You're not concentrating, Madeline.

I almost drowned.

But you didn't.

You're a survivor.

A survivor?

Here, this is for you.

You're ready now.

It was my grandmother's when she was
your age.

This is my diary.

Madeleine de Prezo.

Age 13.

1851.

Marriott Town.

Lower Canada.

Northern Hemisphere.

We're up.

What was she like?

She was like you.

Magnificent.

What? What's that, Maddie?

Grandma gave it to me.

She gave it to you?

Mm-hmm.

This... is a very precious gift.

You take good care of it.

For your children.

Must have been really weird to be alive
back then.

Sorry.

Can we just go?

Wendy, thanks.

What for?

For, well, just thanks.

Uh-huh.

Bye.

Call me later, okay?

I think it needs something.

Maddie? Ruth?

You girls ready? Why don't you try this?

It might cover your temporary lack of
breath.

Aunt Ruth?

This is you, isn't it?

That's me.

And is that WG?

Mm-hmm.

Whatever happened to him?

Oh, he's still here, I think.

Teaching school?

Mr. Gordon?

WG is Mr.

Gordon? You're kidding!

He really is a nice guy, you know.

Always was.

Then why did you go away?

He wanted to get married.

I wanted something else.

Oh.

Didn't you always wonder what might have
happened if you had stayed here?

Sure. But that's what life's all about,
Maddie.

Choices.

How did you know it was the right one?

Sometimes you just have to listen to
your heart.

No regrets.

Life's too precious to waste time
thinking about wrong decisions.

Don't let fear stop you.

From?

Dancing on the moon.

Uh-oh.

Better hurry up, sweetheart.

Oh, be careful now.

Don't worry about it. Be careful.

Okay.

Oh, Mom, you look great in this.

Fabulous. You told me that upstairs
already. Come on down, Maddie.

Be careful now.

Oh, be careful.

You okay?

Come on, Jimmy. In.

Where's my... Your cane's right here.
Now, don't worry about it. Be careful.

Where's my cane?

There you go.

Mom, will you stop worrying?

Timmy's taking care of the kids.

What happened to you?

You look like something from another
planet. Thank

you. Very chic.

I'm sure it's the next big thing.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have done it.

Hey,

Dad, is the car going to start?

Baby,

come on.

We're going to have to take a taxi.
What?

Ruth? Tim?

Go get the hay wagon. What?

What?

inherit those dresses.

He needs you.

You know, to look after him.

Or else he's going to be in real trouble
one day soon.

Would you like to dance?

I'm Ian.

Who are you?

Madeline.

Have you seen Jamie anywhere?

No. I think he went that way. That way?

Yeah, that way. Okay, good. Hey, thanks.

Jamie!

Jamie!

Cool.

Thanks. No problem, kid.

Jamie, come here.

Guess who I just talked to?

He said when you need him just to call.

Will he hear me?

Sure he will.

Now go on.

Go on.

But you better look out!

You look so exotic.

You must be from somewhere else.

Oh, yeah.

Far, far away.

I'm just here on a visit.

And will you be staying long?

I'll have to wait and see how long it
takes me.

To do what?

Oh, something.

aaaah!
