1
00:02:23,826 --> 00:02:25,495
Exquisite.

2
00:02:28,539 --> 00:02:30,583
No doubt about that.

3
00:02:31,668 --> 00:02:33,878
Yes, yes, indeed. Hm.

4
00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:43,805
- Forgive me. Er, excuse me...
- That's quite unnecessary.

5
00:02:43,930 --> 00:02:46,724
Actually, I'd like to take a look
at the veranda.

6
00:02:47,308 --> 00:02:52,896
- Please do. I'm afraid it's a bit untidy.
- Oh! Don't bother! I can manage.

7
00:03:06,493 --> 00:03:10,122
- Well, Professor?
- It's exquisite, as I've already said.

8
00:03:10,247 --> 00:03:11,707
But...

9
00:03:13,583 --> 00:03:16,545
- I can't buy it.
- The price is not unreasonable?

10
00:03:16,670 --> 00:03:22,259
- Last spring at Sotheby's you'd pay...
- £3,000, not a penny more.

11
00:03:22,384 --> 00:03:27,264
Now, Professor,
I put in a bid myself for 3,500.

12
00:03:27,389 --> 00:03:29,308
I'll show you the bill of sale.

13
00:03:29,433 --> 00:03:32,477
Really, Professor,
that's quite unnecessary.

14
00:03:32,602 --> 00:03:35,022
Though, I am surprised.

15
00:03:35,147 --> 00:03:38,107
Congratulations, in any case.

16
00:03:38,232 --> 00:03:41,235
Still, you must admit that prices

17
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,405
have risen considerably
since last spring.

18
00:03:44,530 --> 00:03:46,449
Only yesterday, we had a request for...

19
00:04:12,683 --> 00:04:14,477
Anybody here?

20
00:04:14,602 --> 00:04:17,355
Is anybody here?

21
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,108
- Ah! May I ask a favour of you?
- Yes, of course.

22
00:04:21,233 --> 00:04:23,860
We'll leave it. You think it over.

23
00:04:24,986 --> 00:04:28,865
I've thought it over.
I'm not bickering about the price.

24
00:04:30,450 --> 00:04:35,830
It's the wrong time of the year, anyway -
taxes, work to be done on the house.

25
00:04:39,918 --> 00:04:43,004
Take it away.
I don't want the responsibility.

26
00:04:43,129 --> 00:04:47,092
It shouldn't be
weighing on you that much.

27
00:04:47,217 --> 00:04:50,595
Don't worry.
You will be doing us a favour.

28
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,182
We have to look at some things
in a villa off the Via Cassia.

29
00:04:54,307 --> 00:04:59,187
Wouldn't want to leave it in the car,
nowadays. We'll send for it later.

30
00:04:59,312 --> 00:05:02,982
If you don't, I'll send it back myself.
I'm not in the market, gentlemen.

31
00:05:03,108 --> 00:05:05,568
I'm still hoping that
you change your mind.

32
00:05:07,487 --> 00:05:10,614
Don't worry, Professor.
We know the way.

33
00:05:10,739 --> 00:05:12,449
I only hope we haven't disturbed you.

34
00:05:12,574 --> 00:05:16,078
- Not at all. Have a good trip.
-Thank you. Goodbye.

35
00:05:16,203 --> 00:05:18,163
Goodbye, Monsieur.

36
00:05:18,288 --> 00:05:21,500
- You really should have this one.
- I don't change my mind. Goodbye.

37
00:05:21,625 --> 00:05:23,460
Good bye, Professor.

38
00:05:41,854 --> 00:05:43,647
Have they gone?

39
00:05:47,526 --> 00:05:48,944
Hm?

40
00:05:49,069 --> 00:05:51,738
- Yes, just this moment.
- Good.

41
00:05:55,909 --> 00:05:57,870
Excuse me, er...

42
00:05:59,162 --> 00:06:02,582
Are you the, er...the owner
of this painting?

43
00:06:02,707 --> 00:06:05,626
That? Good God, no!

44
00:06:05,751 --> 00:06:07,837
Are you sure it's worth all that money?

45
00:06:07,962 --> 00:06:12,633
A frightfully oily pair, those two.
They're not fences, are they?

46
00:06:12,758 --> 00:06:15,970
They are the proprietors
of the Blanchard Gallery, Paris.

47
00:06:16,095 --> 00:06:18,514
But...weren't you with them?

48
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:20,892
Oh, no. I bumped into them
on the landing.

49
00:06:21,017 --> 00:06:23,186
Then, to what do I owe this pleasure?

50
00:06:23,311 --> 00:06:27,523
Your housekeeper and the porter told me
that your upstairs apartment is empty.

51
00:06:27,648 --> 00:06:30,234
- I would like to rent it.
- Rent it?

52
00:06:30,359 --> 00:06:33,905
It's not for rent.
I'm moving part of my library up there.

53
00:06:34,030 --> 00:06:36,657
- I have no more room here.
- Now, Professor, really?

54
00:06:36,782 --> 00:06:39,410
I've looked!
The corridors, the service area.

55
00:06:39,535 --> 00:06:41,787
An enormous amount of shelf space.

56
00:06:41,913 --> 00:06:45,541
And mind you,
if you had simpler shelves in your study,

57
00:06:45,665 --> 00:06:47,626
there'd be no more problem.

58
00:06:47,751 --> 00:06:49,836
Thank you for your advice,
but if you don't mind...

59
00:06:49,961 --> 00:06:52,589
Listen, Professor, my husband,
who has never read a book in his life,

60
00:06:52,714 --> 00:06:57,135
unless I'm very much mistaken,
has a mania for rooms lined with books.

61
00:06:57,844 --> 00:06:59,679
Insanity, if you ask me.

62
00:06:59,804 --> 00:07:02,182
Well, he's had some
other shelves made.

63
00:07:02,307 --> 00:07:04,809
Not metal ones -
I agree, they're ghastly -

64
00:07:04,935 --> 00:07:06,937
but of wood, cherry wood.

65
00:07:07,062 --> 00:07:09,606
You have no idea the amount they hold!

66
00:07:09,731 --> 00:07:12,943
I like the shelves I have
and the apartment is not for rent.

67
00:07:13,068 --> 00:07:16,613
- Now, if you...
- At least let me see it. Hm?

68
00:07:16,738 --> 00:07:18,448
- See what?
- The apartment.

69
00:07:18,573 --> 00:07:21,701
I may not even like it
and that would settle everything.

70
00:07:21,826 --> 00:07:24,538
It will only take a second
and you needn't budge.

71
00:07:24,663 --> 00:07:26,873
Your housekeeper can show it to me.

72
00:07:26,998 --> 00:07:30,210
Erminia, I think she said her name was.
Isn't that it?

73
00:07:31,753 --> 00:07:33,212
Erminia!

74
00:07:36,090 --> 00:07:38,842
She told me she's been with you
for 25 years.

75
00:07:39,802 --> 00:07:41,637
You're a lucky man.

76
00:07:42,638 --> 00:07:44,223
Erminia.

77
00:07:45,933 --> 00:07:47,601
Erminia!

78
00:07:51,939 --> 00:07:53,774
The professor has kindly given his...

79
00:07:53,899 --> 00:07:55,859
Bring me the keys
to the upstairs apartment.

80
00:07:55,985 --> 00:07:57,611
The upstairs, yes.

81
00:07:58,654 --> 00:08:01,949
I don't wish to be rude,
but I must repeat this is a waste of time.

82
00:08:02,074 --> 00:08:04,785
Oh, yes, of course,
but couldn't I have a little peek?

83
00:08:04,910 --> 00:08:07,496
For years, I've been looking
at those windows up there.

84
00:08:07,621 --> 00:08:11,584
I often park in Piazza Campitelli
when I come down town on errands.

85
00:08:11,709 --> 00:08:13,460
Parking has become such a problem.

86
00:08:13,586 --> 00:08:16,755
That's another reason why I'm trying
to get a flat in this neighbourhood.

87
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,466
I live 15 miles out of town.

88
00:08:19,592 --> 00:08:21,092
Well?

89
00:08:22,635 --> 00:08:25,430
- My daughter, Lietta.
- Hi.

90
00:08:25,555 --> 00:08:29,225
By the way, excuse me,
I'm Bianca Brumonti.

91
00:08:29,350 --> 00:08:30,435
Your coat, sir.

92
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,604
What have you been doing here
all this time?

93
00:08:32,729 --> 00:08:34,689
- There's no heat up there.
- That's all right.

94
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,692
Very difficult situation. Sh.

95
00:08:40,945 --> 00:08:42,614
Wait, Lietta.

96
00:09:10,641 --> 00:09:12,309
It's really nice up here.

97
00:09:14,269 --> 00:09:17,981
Remind me to ask Stefano if he knows
the owner of the Blanchard Gallery.

98
00:09:18,106 --> 00:09:21,652
- They look like crooks to me.
<i>- La Galerie Blanchard?</i>

99
00:09:21,777 --> 00:09:24,363
They're famous,
like Christie's or Sotheby's.

100
00:09:24,488 --> 00:09:26,740
But that doesn't mean
they wouldn't rob you blind!

101
00:09:26,865 --> 00:09:28,200
Ha-ha.

102
00:09:56,727 --> 00:09:58,729
I won't open the windows
because they're barred.

103
00:09:58,854 --> 00:10:01,565
- Lietta.
- Besides, I'm in a great hurry.

104
00:10:01,691 --> 00:10:04,443
- Lietta, lend me a hand!
- Really, Signora, I must...

105
00:10:04,568 --> 00:10:08,239
I'll shut it again, don't worry.
It's just to get an idea.

106
00:10:08,364 --> 00:10:10,783
Anyway, it's so musty in here.

107
00:10:11,701 --> 00:10:14,870
It's beautiful! Absolutely perfect!

108
00:10:14,995 --> 00:10:16,747
Bianca, you're a genius!

109
00:10:22,795 --> 00:10:25,548
- It's perfect.
- All right, calm yourself.

110
00:10:25,673 --> 00:10:28,300
- He's not renting to us.
- What do you mean?

111
00:10:28,426 --> 00:10:31,512
It's probably being kept for mice or bats.

112
00:10:31,637 --> 00:10:34,557
- He just wants more money.
- That is not the case.

113
00:10:38,519 --> 00:10:41,564
- Shall we look inside?
- Huh!

114
00:10:42,273 --> 00:10:43,773
Idiot!

115
00:10:50,905 --> 00:10:52,198
Mummy!

116
00:10:56,286 --> 00:10:58,621
Come here, look!

117
00:11:00,582 --> 00:11:02,709
If it's for rent, what's the problem?

118
00:11:04,878 --> 00:11:07,338
From the beginning,
I informed your mother

119
00:11:07,464 --> 00:11:09,299
that this apartment was not for rent.

120
00:11:09,424 --> 00:11:11,384
Your mother insisted upon seeing it.

121
00:11:11,509 --> 00:11:13,803
He's no son of mine,
thank God!

122
00:11:13,928 --> 00:11:18,099
They say he looks like his father,
but it's only a coincidence.

123
00:11:18,224 --> 00:11:21,519
Hey, Bianca.
You'd better get down here real fast!

124
00:11:23,521 --> 00:11:25,899
The joke may be on you!

125
00:11:27,609 --> 00:11:30,862
- What's Konrad doing here?
- Excuse me.

126
00:11:35,365 --> 00:11:37,618
- I can't see him.
- I saw him.

127
00:11:37,743 --> 00:11:40,996
- Why is he staying down there?
- I don't know.

128
00:11:42,623 --> 00:11:45,501
He said he couldn't come with me
because he was meeting you.

129
00:11:46,543 --> 00:11:48,921
- Why meeting me?
- Hm.

130
00:11:49,046 --> 00:11:53,091
Stefano, I heard him tell you
he was coming by to pick you up.

131
00:11:53,217 --> 00:11:56,553
Oh! I must have got it mixed up
or something.

132
00:11:57,596 --> 00:11:59,932
I really don't...remember.

133
00:12:09,566 --> 00:12:13,487
I said I would do that, didn't I?
You'll get yourself all dirty.

134
00:12:13,612 --> 00:12:15,864
Wait. You have to put on the bar.

135
00:12:20,952 --> 00:12:23,371
The police
are towing away your car.

136
00:12:23,496 --> 00:12:25,790
You couldn't stop them?

137
00:12:25,915 --> 00:12:29,168
I've never been permitted
to have the keys of your car, my dear.

138
00:12:30,127 --> 00:12:31,420
It's infuriating!

139
00:12:34,507 --> 00:12:37,093
Aren't you going to show me
my little nest?

140
00:12:37,218 --> 00:12:39,053
Don't be funny.

141
00:12:39,971 --> 00:12:44,767
Lietta, Stefano, if they already hauled it
away, try and catch them in your car.

142
00:12:44,892 --> 00:12:47,520
- All right. Come on.
- Yeah.

143
00:13:30,395 --> 00:13:33,565
Signorina, is Monsieur Blanchard there?

144
00:13:34,232 --> 00:13:35,692
Yes, yes, it's I.

145
00:13:39,696 --> 00:13:43,408
Blanchard, is my concierge still there?

146
00:13:43,533 --> 00:13:45,744
The man who brought back the painting.

147
00:13:45,869 --> 00:13:47,454
Well, that's too bad.

148
00:13:47,579 --> 00:13:52,083
Because now you'll have to take the
trouble of sending someone back here.

149
00:13:52,208 --> 00:13:54,627
I've changed my mind.
I've decided to buy it.

150
00:13:58,213 --> 00:14:00,758
Sold it? I don't believe it. When?

151
00:14:24,907 --> 00:14:26,575
Professor, Signor Micheli.

152
00:14:30,037 --> 00:14:32,247
- Come in, Micheli.
- Am I disturbing you?

153
00:14:32,373 --> 00:14:34,541
No, no. Come in. Sit down.

154
00:14:35,709 --> 00:14:38,837
- Why are you standing there?
- Eh? Oh, yes.

155
00:14:49,555 --> 00:14:51,265
Yesterday morning,
I had a phone call

156
00:14:51,391 --> 00:14:53,851
from the Marchesa Brumonti,
whom you know.

157
00:14:53,977 --> 00:14:55,812
We've met, but I don't know her.

158
00:14:55,937 --> 00:14:57,897
- Nor do I wish to.
- Yes, I understand.

159
00:14:58,022 --> 00:14:59,774
I hope she's not the reason
you've come.

160
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:01,901
- No...
- Here I come, ready or not.

161
00:15:02,026 --> 00:15:04,195
Were you talking about
somebody's mother?

162
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,739
If you don't say you're pleased,
I'll have a coronary.

163
00:15:06,864 --> 00:15:08,783
We bought it.
Where shall I put it?

164
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:11,577
Put it over there
on the divan.

165
00:15:25,717 --> 00:15:27,802
- Are these people with you?
- We won him over.

166
00:15:27,927 --> 00:15:32,347
As I was saying, Professor, yesterday,
I received a certain telephone call

167
00:15:32,472 --> 00:15:34,599
- with a proposal of considering...
- Proposal?

168
00:15:34,725 --> 00:15:37,728
Yes. And as your lawyer,
I felt it was my duty

169
00:15:37,853 --> 00:15:41,231
to listen to an advantageous offer
and also to advise you to...

170
00:15:41,356 --> 00:15:42,899
What are you trying to tell me?

171
00:15:43,025 --> 00:15:46,361
We forced him into it.
Listen, Professor, I know how you feel.

172
00:15:46,486 --> 00:15:48,113
I know how Mummy
can be but, I beg you,

173
00:15:48,238 --> 00:15:50,198
please listen to me for a minute.

174
00:15:50,323 --> 00:15:52,576
Just one year. One year?

175
00:15:52,701 --> 00:15:54,536
I swear, if you knew what it meant to us,

176
00:15:54,661 --> 00:15:56,329
you'd probably give us
the apartment free.

177
00:15:56,455 --> 00:15:59,041
I believe, Professor,
that Signora Brumonti

178
00:15:59,166 --> 00:16:00,751
failed to explain to you yesterday

179
00:16:00,876 --> 00:16:03,545
that she wants the apartment
only for one year.

180
00:16:03,670 --> 00:16:08,425
You told me that you don't plan
the renovation before this next spring.

181
00:16:08,550 --> 00:16:10,469
- That's why I took the liberty of...
- No.

182
00:16:10,594 --> 00:16:12,929
No, I'm sorry.

183
00:16:13,055 --> 00:16:16,433
Rome is full of the kind of
fancy apartments that will suit you.

184
00:16:16,558 --> 00:16:19,935
But Mummy will invent
a thousand excuses not to look at them.

185
00:16:20,061 --> 00:16:21,645
From what the Marchesa told me,

186
00:16:21,771 --> 00:16:24,565
it seems that the young lady
is engaged to the...

187
00:16:24,690 --> 00:16:26,734
That's silly. We're only trying it out.

188
00:16:26,859 --> 00:16:28,903
Mummy's agreed that I can leave home

189
00:16:29,028 --> 00:16:30,696
and live here in Konrad's house
with Stefano.

190
00:16:30,821 --> 00:16:32,239
Who's Konrad?

191
00:16:32,364 --> 00:16:34,533
Come on, Professor,
you met him yesterday.

192
00:16:34,658 --> 00:16:36,952
The apartment's his.
I mean, it's for him.

193
00:16:37,703 --> 00:16:40,498
You're an extraordinarily
frank young lady.

194
00:16:40,623 --> 00:16:42,708
I will answer you with equal frankness.

195
00:16:44,210 --> 00:16:47,338
I'm in no hurry
to move my library upstairs.

196
00:16:47,463 --> 00:16:51,509
And I'm an old man -
neurotic, slightly hysterical.

197
00:16:52,468 --> 00:16:55,971
Often disturbed by strange noises
and strange people

198
00:16:56,097 --> 00:16:58,599
and having to put up with
any sort of formalities.

199
00:16:58,724 --> 00:17:01,352
Now you see why
I cannot rent you the apartment.

200
00:17:01,477 --> 00:17:04,395
Oh, you're not old
and you're not hysterical.

201
00:17:04,521 --> 00:17:06,898
You're a fascinating person
and you know it.

202
00:17:07,023 --> 00:17:11,152
You're a tiny bit mad, granted,
but so is anyone who's at all interesting.

203
00:17:11,277 --> 00:17:13,571
You're a bit mad about this, too,
aren't you?

204
00:17:15,281 --> 00:17:17,408
Now, don't tell me
you don't like it any more.

205
00:17:17,534 --> 00:17:19,744
Didn't he call Blanchard
while we were there?

206
00:17:19,869 --> 00:17:23,581
That's right. I forgot!
Mummy was right. Blanchard's a crook.

207
00:17:23,706 --> 00:17:26,376
He sold us the painting
for much less than he was asking you.

208
00:17:26,501 --> 00:17:28,545
- You shouldn't have told him!
- Why not?

209
00:17:28,670 --> 00:17:31,506
The professor should know
how unethical they are.

210
00:17:31,631 --> 00:17:33,967
They knew he collected
this kind of paintings.

211
00:17:34,092 --> 00:17:36,928
They were trying to take advantage.
We're even, Professor.

212
00:17:37,053 --> 00:17:39,764
That is for three months' rent,
paid in advance.

213
00:17:39,889 --> 00:17:41,349
Now then, Professor,

214
00:17:41,474 --> 00:17:43,560
shall we make
these young people happy?

215
00:17:43,685 --> 00:17:45,937
A one-year contract!

216
00:17:52,025 --> 00:17:53,819
Oh, my God!

217
00:17:58,490 --> 00:18:00,826
Stop! What are you doing?

218
00:18:01,827 --> 00:18:03,829
Stop! Help!

219
00:18:05,706 --> 00:18:06,748
God!

220
00:18:11,545 --> 00:18:15,799
Are you crazy? You're breaking
the ceiling! What are you doing?

221
00:18:15,924 --> 00:18:20,596
Good God! Domenico!
Domenico! Answer me!

222
00:18:31,982 --> 00:18:33,942
Oh, Professor, at last!

223
00:18:34,067 --> 00:18:36,570
- Good evening, Erminia.
- Good evening.

224
00:18:41,574 --> 00:18:43,451
- What's happened here?
- Did you see?

225
00:18:43,576 --> 00:18:45,453
You wouldn't believe
what's been happening.

226
00:18:45,578 --> 00:18:48,039
Oh, my God! And this is nothing!

227
00:18:48,164 --> 00:18:51,542
You should see the kitchen.
They broke the ceiling in, Professor.

228
00:18:51,667 --> 00:18:55,129
It's a good thing you were out.
I couldn't have prepared your supper.

229
00:19:04,931 --> 00:19:08,184
- It's all wet.
- It's not as bad as some other walls.

230
00:19:08,309 --> 00:19:10,895
I've never seen such madness.
As if there was a war on.

231
00:19:11,020 --> 00:19:13,439
It seemed as if the house
was being blown to bits.

232
00:19:13,564 --> 00:19:16,525
I went to complain and they refused
to hear what I had to say.

233
00:19:16,651 --> 00:19:19,737
They slammed the door on me as well.
I wanted to call the police.

234
00:19:19,862 --> 00:19:23,366
Domenico said wait for you
because you would handle the matter.

235
00:19:23,491 --> 00:19:25,034
Stop chattering.

236
00:19:27,202 --> 00:19:29,704
Bring me the keys
to the upstairs apartment.

237
00:19:30,538 --> 00:19:33,083
- And get the flashlight.
- Yes, yes.

238
00:19:59,025 --> 00:20:02,362
My God!
What have they done?

239
00:20:02,487 --> 00:20:04,447
Call Micheli.

240
00:20:17,584 --> 00:20:20,796
Who is there?
Is that you, Mauro?

241
00:20:31,932 --> 00:20:34,435
My house is filled with rubble.

242
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,562
Water is seeping in everywhere.

243
00:20:36,687 --> 00:20:40,899
Now that I've seen all this,
I'm amazed the building is still standing.

244
00:20:41,025 --> 00:20:42,818
This is madness, infuriating.

245
00:20:42,943 --> 00:20:46,613
So is your presence here.
You come in like a thief!

246
00:20:47,906 --> 00:20:50,326
You might have been shot.

247
00:20:52,911 --> 00:20:57,458
I'm glad I'm still alive, if only to hear
an explanation of all this destruction.

248
00:21:00,627 --> 00:21:02,795
I do what I want with my place.

249
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,048
They told me
you had allowed work to begin,

250
00:21:05,173 --> 00:21:06,966
even though the contract
hasn't been finalised.

251
00:21:07,091 --> 00:21:11,679
One bathroom. The improvement
of one bathroom is all the lease allows.

252
00:21:11,804 --> 00:21:15,350
Which lease, under the circumstances,
I have no intention of signing.

253
00:21:15,475 --> 00:21:18,853
Whereas I have every intention
of signing a claim for damages.

254
00:21:18,978 --> 00:21:23,149
Excuse me! I was also told
that a lease is only a piece of paper

255
00:21:23,274 --> 00:21:25,568
to be shown to certain people
if necessary.

256
00:21:25,693 --> 00:21:27,820
But the contract is to be put in my name.

257
00:21:27,945 --> 00:21:29,030
Your name?

258
00:21:29,155 --> 00:21:30,990
The large advance you were given
is evidence enough

259
00:21:31,115 --> 00:21:32,533
that the house has been sold.

260
00:21:32,658 --> 00:21:37,163
It's a simple one-year lease,
not renewable. Don't you understand?

261
00:21:40,249 --> 00:21:42,877
- Can I make a phone call?
- Phone call?

262
00:21:43,002 --> 00:21:46,130
Would you mind if I ask you to clear up
this matter with Madame Brumonti

263
00:21:46,255 --> 00:21:48,800
- in my presence?
- By all means.

264
00:21:48,925 --> 00:21:52,719
There is no possibility that Madame
Brumonti can assert the contrary.

265
00:21:59,518 --> 00:22:02,813
- Have we heard from Signor Micheli?
- I telephoned but he wasn't in yet.

266
00:22:02,938 --> 00:22:06,483
I left the word to call back immediately,
as soon as he gets in.

267
00:22:06,608 --> 00:22:08,527
I see.

268
00:22:08,652 --> 00:22:11,738
Could I have a glass of whisky?
Straight, please.

269
00:22:11,863 --> 00:22:14,408
- There's no liquor in the house.
- Not even...?

270
00:22:14,533 --> 00:22:17,035
<i>Charles, Madame Brumonti
est rentrée?</i>

271
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,831
How stupid of me. Sorry, Tony.
It's my mistake.

272
00:22:20,956 --> 00:22:23,917
Yeah. Soon. Bye.

273
00:22:25,752 --> 00:22:30,590
I do it all the time! I called
their house in London instead of Paris.

274
00:22:33,677 --> 00:22:36,012
You can add these calls to the damages.

275
00:22:38,180 --> 00:22:41,100
Don't you really have any whisky
or don't you want to give me any?

276
00:22:41,225 --> 00:22:46,021
- There's wine, if you like.
- Well, I'm glad you're not a teetotaller.

277
00:22:47,022 --> 00:22:49,525
- A glass of red wine, please.
- Yes, sir.

278
00:22:49,650 --> 00:22:52,570
- 'AIIo?'
- A-ha! It's you!

279
00:22:52,695 --> 00:22:55,364
- 'Konrad?'
- You're a lying cunt!

280
00:22:55,489 --> 00:22:59,410
Explain this latest bullshit and don't fuck
with me. You'll only make it worse!

281
00:22:59,535 --> 00:23:04,206
- 'What bullshit?'
- The apartment bullshit, sweetheart!

282
00:23:04,331 --> 00:23:05,916
The apartment bullshit!

283
00:23:06,041 --> 00:23:08,127
'Would you stop shouting
and clarify that?'

284
00:23:08,252 --> 00:23:12,506
I'II clarify it, or rather,
I'll have someone else clarify it.

285
00:23:12,631 --> 00:23:14,592
'Don't play games with me, Konrad.

286
00:23:14,717 --> 00:23:18,846
'Konrad, you ungrateful son-of—a-bitch!
Answer me, Goddamn you!'

287
00:23:18,971 --> 00:23:22,057
- Signora, this is the professor.
- 'Will you please get off the line?'

288
00:23:22,183 --> 00:23:25,393
- Let me speak a moment, please.
- 'Let me talk to that son-of—a-bitch !'

289
00:23:25,518 --> 00:23:28,980
- Hello? Signora, please?
- 'Will you get off the phone?'

290
00:23:29,105 --> 00:23:32,400
- 'l'm tired of all these lies!'
- I do not say things that are not true.

291
00:23:32,525 --> 00:23:34,444
- Is that clear?
- 'Fine, fine.'

292
00:23:34,569 --> 00:23:37,697
- You may speak with my attorney.
- 'For heaven's sake, Professor!

293
00:23:37,822 --> 00:23:41,951
'Listen to me now! I'll come straight back
to Rome and explain everything.

294
00:23:42,076 --> 00:23:45,622
'There's nothing to worry about.
There's been a misunderstanding...'

295
00:23:45,747 --> 00:23:47,916
Shame I won't hear the explanation.

296
00:23:48,041 --> 00:23:50,043
You thought I would be good
for another year.

297
00:23:50,168 --> 00:23:52,212
Well, you thought wrong!

298
00:23:52,337 --> 00:23:55,048
As of now, it's all over!

299
00:23:55,173 --> 00:23:57,509
<i>Madame la Marquise de merde!</i>

300
00:23:58,510 --> 00:24:00,011
Cunt!

301
00:24:03,556 --> 00:24:06,559
- Is it all right?
- Horrible! Thanks.

302
00:24:06,684 --> 00:24:08,561
Good night, Erminia.

303
00:24:12,898 --> 00:24:15,108
Well, that's done.

304
00:24:20,030 --> 00:24:23,992
I don't like to interfere in things
that don't concern me.

305
00:24:26,370 --> 00:24:29,915
Besides, I don't quite understand...

306
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,002
You understand.
The richer they are, the lousier.

307
00:24:34,127 --> 00:24:37,047
Cheap - cheap inside,
you know what I mean?

308
00:24:42,052 --> 00:24:45,055
Good God!
What the hell has happened here?

309
00:24:50,519 --> 00:24:52,563
This is nothing.

310
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,607
You should see
the rest of the apartment.

311
00:24:58,026 --> 00:25:01,487
Stick it to them good.
Make them pay millions.

312
00:25:03,030 --> 00:25:04,615
Millions!

313
00:25:17,628 --> 00:25:21,882
- When did this recording come out?
- That's a new Mozart edition.

314
00:25:22,008 --> 00:25:24,427
Sent to me from New York.

315
00:25:24,552 --> 00:25:28,681
Bernstein will be here this summer,
conducting the complete series for Rai.

316
00:25:28,806 --> 00:25:31,642
l have a different recording.
Do you mind?

317
00:25:45,114 --> 00:25:48,700
I somehow never go to concerts myself.
I prefer records.

318
00:26:00,462 --> 00:26:01,880
That's better.

319
00:26:21,399 --> 00:26:23,526
I love that aria!

320
00:26:41,043 --> 00:26:43,212
I have to make a phone call. Sorry.

321
00:26:44,129 --> 00:26:47,049
I was expecting
a friend upstairs and, er...

322
00:26:52,262 --> 00:26:55,224
It's Konrad. Who is there?

323
00:26:55,349 --> 00:27:00,396
Si, Mauro? No, tell him not to come.
I may drop by later.

324
00:27:00,521 --> 00:27:01,814
OK.

325
00:27:07,528 --> 00:27:09,196
I'll just be a minute.

326
00:27:15,202 --> 00:27:16,995
Jane?

327
00:27:17,121 --> 00:27:20,874
Who the hell do you think it is?
Listen, is St Moritz still on for tomorrow?

328
00:27:22,459 --> 00:27:25,545
Right. Make up your mind.
If you're going, I'm going.

329
00:27:27,964 --> 00:27:30,466
Hell, no! Just me!

330
00:27:31,676 --> 00:27:33,845
Arthur Devis!

331
00:27:33,970 --> 00:27:36,931
Not you, silly bitch.
Listen, I'll call you back later.

332
00:27:37,056 --> 00:27:38,766
OK? Bye.

333
00:27:40,476 --> 00:27:43,730
That's by Devis, isn't it?
Arthur Devis.

334
00:27:45,022 --> 00:27:47,358
Surely by an English painter
of the 18th century.

335
00:27:48,943 --> 00:27:52,196
Some friends of mine have a painting
in their house by Arthur Devis.

336
00:27:53,197 --> 00:27:57,535
A portrait with a landscape.
I looked at it carefully.

337
00:28:02,498 --> 00:28:04,459
That's interesting.

338
00:28:05,460 --> 00:28:06,961
What art.

339
00:28:07,086 --> 00:28:12,090
In their painting, in the centre,
not to one side like this,

340
00:28:12,215 --> 00:28:14,885
they have the exact same pavilion.

341
00:28:15,886 --> 00:28:19,598
This painting dates from about...1750.

342
00:28:19,723 --> 00:28:21,725
If you like, I'll bring you the photograph.

343
00:28:23,894 --> 00:28:27,189
- Are you interested in paintings?
- No, not really.

344
00:28:27,314 --> 00:28:29,733
But I've had the chance to study
that one carefully.

345
00:28:29,858 --> 00:28:32,486
And thanks, need a phone.

346
00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:42,954
Who is there, Marcello?

347
00:28:44,206 --> 00:28:46,625
Any of my people there?

348
00:28:47,542 --> 00:28:49,586
Who else?

349
00:28:50,086 --> 00:28:51,546
If he's close.

350
00:28:52,714 --> 00:28:54,257
What's up?

351
00:28:55,133 --> 00:28:58,677
Oh, no. I've been screwed enough
for one night.

352
00:28:58,803 --> 00:29:01,138
I'll tell you tomorrow. Bye.

353
00:29:13,692 --> 00:29:15,277
Strange house.

354
00:29:16,612 --> 00:29:19,949
I don't like it, but it fascinates me.

355
00:29:22,618 --> 00:29:25,120
Please, don't get up. I know the way.

356
00:29:28,624 --> 00:29:30,501
It's a shame things end like this.

357
00:29:32,169 --> 00:29:35,506
I would have liked to have come down
and have a chat now and then.

358
00:29:38,509 --> 00:29:40,803
- Good night, Professor.
- Good night.

359
00:29:40,928 --> 00:29:44,014
If you want some peace, it would be
a good idea to unplug the phone.

360
00:29:45,849 --> 00:29:48,518
Madame Brumonti will call again
when she's sure I've left.

361
00:29:48,643 --> 00:29:51,104
And she'll break your balls!

362
00:30:43,405 --> 00:30:47,576
I don't want to talk with your lawyer!
Those matters don't interest me.

363
00:30:47,701 --> 00:30:50,037
You're right, and that's that.

364
00:30:50,162 --> 00:30:53,665
You don't think I came rushing
down here from Paris on a night flight,

365
00:30:53,790 --> 00:30:57,586
crowded with Arabs, to tell you
they did wrong to knock down a wall?

366
00:30:57,711 --> 00:31:00,130
A wall? You call this a wall?

367
00:31:00,255 --> 00:31:04,092
My dear Professor,
you behaved unspeakably!

368
00:31:05,427 --> 00:31:07,512
If I had my own personal reasons

369
00:31:07,638 --> 00:31:10,265
for giving someone
MY version of our contract,

370
00:31:10,390 --> 00:31:11,975
you had no right to interfere.

371
00:31:12,100 --> 00:31:14,019
But since you have done so,

372
00:31:14,144 --> 00:31:17,105
I have every reason to believe
you had some purpose in mind.

373
00:31:17,230 --> 00:31:20,692
Perhaps you want to protect the
interests of Herr Huebel instead of mine!

374
00:31:21,442 --> 00:31:25,404
You don't know what you're saying.
I'm not protecting anyone's interest.

375
00:31:25,529 --> 00:31:28,616
Certainly not those of a Herr Huebel
I don't even know!

376
00:31:28,741 --> 00:31:31,535
You don't, huh?
Well, then, I'll tell you.

377
00:31:35,331 --> 00:31:39,168
He's my kept boy,
paid lover - all right?

378
00:31:40,461 --> 00:31:43,381
You also want to know
how much money I spend on him?

379
00:31:45,383 --> 00:31:47,718
How awful to come to this!

380
00:31:55,184 --> 00:31:58,604
Mummy! When did you get here?
What's going on?

381
00:31:58,729 --> 00:32:01,399
- Hi.
- You bundling little idiot!

382
00:32:01,524 --> 00:32:04,610
Now you will have to put
everything back the way it was.

383
00:32:07,154 --> 00:32:11,533
- Look, I only did what you told me.
- Everything as it was! That's that!

384
00:32:15,537 --> 00:32:17,288
Lietta.

385
00:32:17,414 --> 00:32:20,709
- You're the man I want to talk to.
- I don't understand what's happened.

386
00:32:20,834 --> 00:32:24,254
- Relax, Mummy, for Christ's sake!
- Oh, shut up!

387
00:32:24,879 --> 00:32:27,340
- Where's Konrad?
- I haven't seen him.

388
00:32:27,465 --> 00:32:30,677
Last night we dropped in at the 74,
but it was late.

389
00:32:30,802 --> 00:32:33,513
Mauro told me that Konrad
was thinking of going to St Moritz

390
00:32:33,638 --> 00:32:36,224
for a few days while you were in Paris.

391
00:32:36,349 --> 00:32:39,019
Didn't you tell him
you were coming back?

392
00:32:39,144 --> 00:32:40,145
No.

393
00:32:40,270 --> 00:32:44,107
I took the night flight. Simply horrible!
They all looked like hijackers!

394
00:32:44,232 --> 00:32:46,484
- Why the hurry?
- Don't you know?

395
00:32:46,609 --> 00:32:49,696
The old idiot told him
I hadn't bought the apartment.

396
00:32:49,821 --> 00:32:52,073
Now I'll actually have to buy it.

397
00:32:52,198 --> 00:32:55,618
He's no idiot cos he'll never sell it
to you. Isn't that right, Professor?

398
00:32:55,744 --> 00:32:58,162
What advice can I possibly give you?

399
00:32:59,496 --> 00:33:02,541
Your mother's hysterics
don't concern me.

400
00:33:02,666 --> 00:33:06,003
I'm not interested in people
who lose control of their own destiny.

401
00:33:07,504 --> 00:33:09,006
I won't express an opinion.

402
00:33:09,131 --> 00:33:12,926
That would be as futile as the dramas
you wish to involve me in.

403
00:33:13,052 --> 00:33:15,971
I am simply not interested
and that is that!

404
00:33:21,018 --> 00:33:23,145
If, as you say...

405
00:33:24,813 --> 00:33:28,400
..our lawyers have signed
this wretched lease,

406
00:33:28,525 --> 00:33:30,986
and if you promise to
put back everything just as it was,

407
00:33:31,111 --> 00:33:33,405
at your own expense...

408
00:33:35,491 --> 00:33:37,409
..you may keep the apartment.

409
00:33:37,534 --> 00:33:40,996
If you don't want it any more, just tell me
and I'll reimburse you for the painting.

410
00:33:42,164 --> 00:33:46,292
Right now. You can choose for yourself
and leave me in peace.

411
00:33:46,417 --> 00:33:49,670
Oh, I know we made a mistake.
You seem so understanding...

412
00:33:49,796 --> 00:33:51,422
You're mistaken!

413
00:33:51,547 --> 00:33:54,425
I promise I won't bother you again
about our family problems.

414
00:33:56,052 --> 00:33:59,597
If you can just explain to Stefano
what has to be done upstairs.

415
00:33:59,722 --> 00:34:02,391
Oh, remember, we've already agreed
on one bathroom

416
00:34:02,517 --> 00:34:05,645
and I want it twice as big as the one
up there now.

417
00:34:10,817 --> 00:34:12,527
What's so funny?

418
00:34:14,904 --> 00:34:17,573
It's just as though we spoke
two different languages.

419
00:34:17,698 --> 00:34:20,493
There's no possibility
of our understanding each other.

420
00:34:20,618 --> 00:34:23,871
- And that's funny?
- Tragic, obviously.

421
00:34:23,996 --> 00:34:26,999
I guess I'm the one that's lost contact,
as they say.

422
00:34:27,125 --> 00:34:31,170
Let me show you. I've got the new plans
for the apartment, Professor.

423
00:34:33,964 --> 00:34:37,425
The walls I would like to strike out
are marked in yellow here.

424
00:34:39,678 --> 00:34:41,930
Which is the bathroom wall?

425
00:34:46,852 --> 00:34:50,480
- Can I use the telephone?
- Yes, in there.

426
00:34:51,606 --> 00:34:56,361
- Take this...
- That was part of the old one.

427
00:35:03,785 --> 00:35:05,745
Is it out of order?

428
00:35:07,831 --> 00:35:10,542
- Did you know it was unplugged?
- What?

429
00:35:10,667 --> 00:35:13,753
- The phone!
- Oh, yes. I forgot. Last night.

430
00:35:14,921 --> 00:35:18,966
You see? And then you complain
of not having any contact.

431
00:35:19,925 --> 00:35:23,304
- I wasn't complaining in the least.
- Still, it surprises you.

432
00:35:25,055 --> 00:35:27,766
Hello, Jane. How are you?

433
00:35:29,018 --> 00:35:31,478
Thought I heard
you were going to St Moritz.

434
00:35:35,566 --> 00:35:37,568
Who wanted a ride?

435
00:35:39,153 --> 00:35:41,030
Jane, where have you been?

436
00:35:41,155 --> 00:35:44,408
The population of western Europe
knows he's a born whore.

437
00:35:44,533 --> 00:35:46,827
Stefano, Konrad didn't make it.

438
00:35:46,952 --> 00:35:49,830
- I hate him, I swear, I really hate him.
- Hate who?

439
00:35:49,955 --> 00:35:53,250
Darling! Whose boudoir
did you fall out of?

440
00:35:53,375 --> 00:35:56,212
We looked all over for you.
Where did you end up last night?

441
00:35:56,337 --> 00:35:58,297
Here. We were listening to some music.

442
00:35:58,422 --> 00:36:01,425
Here?
Why didn't you tell me?

443
00:36:01,550 --> 00:36:04,261
Did you know Mother's back?
You had a fight, didn't you?

444
00:36:04,386 --> 00:36:06,222
No fight. Just told her we're through.

445
00:36:06,347 --> 00:36:09,641
She's just hysterical.
She caught the night flight.

446
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,687
I picked this up last night from those
friends of mine. See if I'm not right.

447
00:36:26,491 --> 00:36:28,159
Interesting.

448
00:36:29,035 --> 00:36:31,621
We'll talk about this later.

449
00:36:33,957 --> 00:36:35,959
Very interesting.

450
00:36:37,001 --> 00:36:39,379
It's hard to tell from a photograph.

451
00:36:39,504 --> 00:36:43,424
It's not just the landscape.
It's more the technique.

452
00:36:43,549 --> 00:36:46,052
The trees aren't like the trees...
I'm sorry.

453
00:36:46,177 --> 00:36:48,429
..of other painters of the period.

454
00:36:50,431 --> 00:36:52,141
It's a very sharp observation.

455
00:36:52,267 --> 00:36:54,685
Did you study art history?

456
00:36:54,810 --> 00:36:57,896
- Only a little. I liked it.
- Why did you stop?

457
00:37:00,107 --> 00:37:03,610
Those were the times - '68.

458
00:37:04,653 --> 00:37:08,782
I threw myself into the student
movement, deeper than most.

459
00:37:08,907 --> 00:37:14,079
Got in trouble and had to run. God knows
how I ended up in the world I'm in now.

460
00:37:14,204 --> 00:37:16,498
Well, there's no doubt about it.

461
00:37:16,623 --> 00:37:18,917
Congratulations.

462
00:37:19,042 --> 00:37:22,838
You know why I didn't think of it?
Because, of all my paintings,

463
00:37:22,963 --> 00:37:26,008
that one has the most
complete documentation. Come.

464
00:37:26,133 --> 00:37:29,845
Konrad's here! I was right.
I mean, you didn't have a fight.

465
00:37:29,970 --> 00:37:32,639
- 'What fight?'
- I'm telling you he didn't mention it.

466
00:37:32,764 --> 00:37:34,474
'Why should he mention
anything to you?'

467
00:37:34,599 --> 00:37:38,103
Mummy, get some more rest.

468
00:37:41,023 --> 00:37:43,816
I told Mummy you weren't mad
so then she got mad.

469
00:37:43,941 --> 00:37:46,819
Please, call her,
go see her or do something!

470
00:37:46,944 --> 00:37:49,905
- I'm through with it.
- You just said there was no fight.

471
00:37:50,031 --> 00:37:51,490
I'm leaving her anyway.

472
00:37:51,615 --> 00:37:53,701
You mean you've decided
to blackmail her.

473
00:37:53,826 --> 00:37:57,455
- It's tempting, but I don't need it.
- You bastard!

474
00:37:57,580 --> 00:38:02,710
Be nice to her, for my sake.
I can't stand it when she's like this.

475
00:38:04,211 --> 00:38:06,547
- Professor?
- Huh?

476
00:38:06,672 --> 00:38:09,091
- Professor, you tell him.
- No, no, no.

477
00:38:09,216 --> 00:38:11,761
- Please.
- I can't blame him.

478
00:38:11,886 --> 00:38:13,929
- Why should he get involved?
- Oh, shut up!

479
00:38:14,055 --> 00:38:16,140
I need air -fresh air.

480
00:38:16,265 --> 00:38:20,436
If that means you're going to latch on
to Jane, forget it. She told Lietta...

481
00:38:20,561 --> 00:38:23,356
Mind your own business!
Where are you going?

482
00:38:23,481 --> 00:38:25,608
To Fiumicino, to see Gigi's boat.

483
00:38:25,733 --> 00:38:30,445
Oh, great. Me too. Maybe we can go
for a sail. It's such a beautiful day.

484
00:38:30,570 --> 00:38:32,947
A friend of ours ordered
this fantastic boat!

485
00:38:33,073 --> 00:38:37,994
It doesn't have your terrace upstairs,
but at least he'll not get kicked out.

486
00:38:38,119 --> 00:38:40,747
Oh, Konrad, you're a genius.

487
00:38:40,872 --> 00:38:42,957
Let's go right now.
You're staying, then?

488
00:38:43,083 --> 00:38:44,250
What for?

489
00:38:44,376 --> 00:38:46,336
To see about the house,
if Mummy needs anything.

490
00:38:46,461 --> 00:38:48,838
Trouble with the foreman?

491
00:38:48,963 --> 00:38:50,757
Come off it! Just give her a ring.

492
00:38:50,882 --> 00:38:53,676
It's better if the professor
talks to the foreman.

493
00:38:53,802 --> 00:38:55,970
There's no chance
that we'll screw things up.

494
00:38:56,096 --> 00:38:58,223
Come if you want, but now.

495
00:38:58,348 --> 00:39:01,643
Keep the photograph. If you want to see
the original, let me know.

496
00:39:01,768 --> 00:39:05,438
Just one quick call!
No, I'll phone from the bar downstairs.

497
00:39:05,563 --> 00:39:08,858
- I've got to eat a sandwich. I'm starving.
- I'm late and I'm not waiting.

498
00:39:08,983 --> 00:39:10,777
But I've got cramps!

499
00:39:10,902 --> 00:39:13,029
Professor,
could you offer me something?

500
00:39:13,154 --> 00:39:16,241
- Lietta, hurry up.
- It'll only take a second!

501
00:39:18,617 --> 00:39:20,619
Erminia! Erminia.

502
00:39:21,745 --> 00:39:22,955
Come.

503
00:39:26,667 --> 00:39:28,502
Lietta.

504
00:39:29,837 --> 00:39:32,089
For Christ's sake.
I haven't got all...

505
00:39:33,882 --> 00:39:35,676
Shit!

506
00:39:41,557 --> 00:39:46,437
- What would you like?
- Stefano, Konrad! Come here!

507
00:39:46,562 --> 00:39:48,939
The professor's been holding out on us!

508
00:39:49,064 --> 00:39:52,109
Stefano, take your car
so you can be on your own.

509
00:39:52,234 --> 00:39:55,946
- I might sleep out there tonight.
- You're really leaving Bianca?

510
00:39:56,071 --> 00:39:58,740
I've got to get away.
I'm working on something.

511
00:39:58,866 --> 00:40:02,703
- You're working?
- Fuck off!

512
00:40:02,828 --> 00:40:06,080
- Mm, what a fantastic smell.
- It's beef stew.

513
00:40:06,205 --> 00:40:09,000
- Stefano, you want some cheese?
- Thanks.

514
00:40:09,125 --> 00:40:12,378
- Bring me some glasses, please.
- Excuse my fingers.

515
00:40:12,503 --> 00:40:15,673
- It's quite all right. Thanks.
- I think you'll like this.

516
00:40:15,798 --> 00:40:18,593
May I have a little piece of cheese?

517
00:40:18,718 --> 00:40:20,845
- Boom!
- Ha ha.

518
00:40:20,970 --> 00:40:24,348
- Want me to answer?
- Erminia, the door.

519
00:40:24,474 --> 00:40:26,100
No, I'll go.

520
00:40:26,225 --> 00:40:28,936
Professor, do me a favour
and throw them all out!

521
00:40:29,061 --> 00:40:33,316
Who is that?

522
00:40:42,617 --> 00:40:44,410
Mm, that smells good.

523
00:40:44,535 --> 00:40:46,537
Just a taste, hm?

524
00:40:46,662 --> 00:40:49,790
- No, it's not ready yet.
- Calm down, Stefano.

525
00:40:49,916 --> 00:40:52,417
Erminia's not used to having
so much confusion around.

526
00:40:52,542 --> 00:40:55,045
Too many cooks
spoil the food, they say.

527
00:40:55,170 --> 00:40:58,340
The soup.

528
00:41:20,153 --> 00:41:22,364
You bastard!

529
00:41:22,489 --> 00:41:26,326
He didn't want to rent the apartment,
but I persuaded him just the same.

530
00:41:26,451 --> 00:41:27,827
Because of you!

531
00:41:27,953 --> 00:41:31,831
He didn't want alterations,
yet we're making alterations!

532
00:41:31,957 --> 00:41:34,668
In the end, he probably would have
sold it to us, too!

533
00:41:36,086 --> 00:41:38,838
But you had to spoil everything!

534
00:41:38,964 --> 00:41:42,967
You're suspicious, petty, mean!

535
00:41:44,176 --> 00:41:47,680
You've made me ashamed
of everything I've done for you!

536
00:41:47,805 --> 00:41:50,432
You made me ashamed of myself!

537
00:41:51,141 --> 00:41:53,477
I'll never forgive you for that. Never!

538
00:41:54,979 --> 00:41:58,816
-Just a minute...
- Let me alone!

539
00:42:00,025 --> 00:42:02,236
Let go of me. It's finished. Let go!

540
00:42:02,361 --> 00:42:04,446
I don't give a shit about the apartment,

541
00:42:04,572 --> 00:42:07,658
but you're absurd pretending
to give me presents!

542
00:42:07,783 --> 00:42:10,953
You're hurting me.
Are you out of your mind?

543
00:42:11,078 --> 00:42:13,455
Biting me? Let me go!

544
00:42:13,581 --> 00:42:16,083
- Go on, scream!
- Yes!

545
00:42:30,430 --> 00:42:32,390
Professor, listen. Here it is.

546
00:42:32,515 --> 00:42:34,934
Plan A, you're coming down
with us to the boat.

547
00:42:35,059 --> 00:42:38,521
Plan B, this evening,
we come back here, eat dinner,

548
00:42:38,646 --> 00:42:41,566
devouring that stew,
and decide about the work upstairs.

549
00:42:41,691 --> 00:42:43,943
- Good.
- Mummy!

550
00:42:44,068 --> 00:42:47,989
Sounds fine to me.
I'm sure Erminia's a marvellous cook.

551
00:42:48,114 --> 00:42:51,451
- Exceptional. I had a sample.
- Stew and what else?

552
00:42:51,576 --> 00:42:54,996
- Hm? Oh, stew and artichoke mousse.
- Ah, perfect.

553
00:42:56,748 --> 00:42:59,459
- Can we get started, please?
- Where to, darling?

554
00:42:59,584 --> 00:43:03,296
Konrad's taking us down
to see Gigi's boat at Fiumicino.

555
00:43:03,421 --> 00:43:06,466
The professor's coming, too.
There's a west wind.

556
00:43:06,591 --> 00:43:08,843
- The sea will be lovely.
- The sea's always lovely.

557
00:43:08,968 --> 00:43:13,556
The colours of the sea,
the voices of the sea, its moods.

558
00:43:15,557 --> 00:43:17,225
I never understand how the Greek gods

559
00:43:17,351 --> 00:43:19,770
could concentrate on
creating so many wonders

560
00:43:19,895 --> 00:43:24,524
when they had before their eyes
always that haunting spectacle.

561
00:43:24,650 --> 00:43:27,194
Fascinating, spell-binding.

562
00:43:28,654 --> 00:43:31,448
I only have to think of the sea
and it fills my imagination.

563
00:43:31,573 --> 00:43:33,742
Then you'll go with us?

564
00:43:33,867 --> 00:43:36,453
- I wouldn't think of it.
- Oh, why not?

565
00:43:36,578 --> 00:43:39,247
Because the professor
doesn't care for such distractions.

566
00:43:39,373 --> 00:43:42,167
He wants to be alone, remember?

567
00:43:42,292 --> 00:43:46,171
Everybody says they want to be alone,
but it's not true.

568
00:43:47,339 --> 00:43:52,636
- Yet, he lives alone, all the same.
- Hm. Professor, the truth?

569
00:43:53,845 --> 00:43:55,806
You're such a mysterious man.

570
00:43:57,891 --> 00:44:00,977
You must have been terribly handsome.

571
00:44:01,103 --> 00:44:04,480
You still are. I find you fascinating.

572
00:44:05,481 --> 00:44:06,982
But why?

573
00:44:08,150 --> 00:44:10,820
Why do you lead this sort of life?

574
00:44:13,823 --> 00:44:16,033
You live among people, you...

575
00:44:17,243 --> 00:44:21,706
..you're forced to think about people,
instead of their works,

576
00:44:21,831 --> 00:44:24,917
to suffer for them, to become involved.

577
00:44:26,585 --> 00:44:31,006
And besides, someone said,
"Crows fly in flocks.

578
00:44:32,299 --> 00:44:34,260
"The eagle soars alone."

579
00:44:38,931 --> 00:44:42,476
We asked for it!
Come on, crows. Get flying!

580
00:44:43,686 --> 00:44:46,605
- Bye, Professor. See you for dinner.
- Goodbye, Lietta.

581
00:44:46,731 --> 00:44:48,524
- Bye.
- Signora.

582
00:44:48,649 --> 00:44:51,443
But the Bible says,

583
00:44:51,568 --> 00:44:53,903
"Woe to him that is alone
when he falleth,

584
00:44:54,028 --> 00:44:55,989
"for he hath not another to help him up."

585
00:44:56,114 --> 00:44:59,033
Konrad! The Bible?

586
00:45:03,037 --> 00:45:05,665
- Good bye, sir.
- Goodbye.

587
00:45:14,007 --> 00:45:17,427
Erminia, clean up the table.

588
00:45:17,552 --> 00:45:19,721
Yes, Professor.

589
00:45:25,018 --> 00:45:28,855
No one has called.
They probably had trouble with the car.

590
00:45:28,980 --> 00:45:31,065
The traffic.

591
00:45:31,191 --> 00:45:35,069
Such refined people would call,
I think, if they had the chance.

592
00:45:36,070 --> 00:45:38,655
They are not refined people,
as you call them.

593
00:45:38,781 --> 00:45:42,159
They are rude, stupid, useless people.

594
00:45:42,993 --> 00:45:45,120
I will have my dinner now.

595
00:45:45,245 --> 00:45:48,791
- I'll not wait for them another moment.
- Very well, Professor.

596
00:46:01,887 --> 00:46:04,348
- Good morning, Professor.
- Good morning.

597
00:46:04,473 --> 00:46:07,643
- I want you to see this.
- These are the samples, huh?

598
00:46:07,768 --> 00:46:11,688
Well, I haven't seen or heard
from these people in over two weeks!

599
00:46:11,814 --> 00:46:14,107
I'm wasting my time with these things.

600
00:46:14,233 --> 00:46:18,487
What do you care, Professor?
Do what you like. The house is yours.

601
00:46:18,612 --> 00:46:21,406
When it came to the walls,
I could decide.

602
00:46:21,532 --> 00:46:24,910
- But these?
- You must decide, Professor.

603
00:46:25,035 --> 00:46:27,286
- I must decide now, huh?
- Yes.

604
00:46:27,411 --> 00:46:29,163
Well, all right.

605
00:46:31,582 --> 00:46:34,669
Let me see, for the kitchen...

606
00:46:35,962 --> 00:46:40,174
- Ah, I like this colour.
- Yes, that's a nice strong colour.

607
00:46:40,299 --> 00:46:42,301
Very strong. For the walls.

608
00:46:45,513 --> 00:46:47,682
Professor!

609
00:46:47,807 --> 00:46:50,893
Come out on the balcony a minute!

610
00:46:51,018 --> 00:46:53,813
We've got something for you.

611
00:46:55,982 --> 00:46:59,819
Professor? Come on out!

612
00:47:01,612 --> 00:47:04,407
We got a surprise for you.
Can you open your door?

613
00:47:04,532 --> 00:47:06,450
We won't come in.
We'll hand it to you.

614
00:47:06,576 --> 00:47:09,453
Don't listen to them.
See you tomorrow, Professor.

615
00:47:09,579 --> 00:47:11,247
- Good night.
- Oh, please!

616
00:47:11,372 --> 00:47:13,206
I'll open the door.

617
00:47:28,972 --> 00:47:32,934
Hi, Professor. We're dead tired
but we had to bring you something.

618
00:47:33,059 --> 00:47:35,061
- Looks great upstairs.
- It really is great.

619
00:47:35,186 --> 00:47:37,564
We'll get a better look tomorrow
in the daylight.

620
00:47:37,689 --> 00:47:39,649
Sure wish we had another bed.

621
00:47:39,774 --> 00:47:43,153
Professor, you still have my blanket?

622
00:47:43,278 --> 00:47:46,865
Your blanket? Er... Yes.
It's just where you left it.

623
00:47:46,990 --> 00:47:48,867
I'll get it.

624
00:47:48,992 --> 00:47:51,912
Thank you, old man.
Thank you, old man.

625
00:47:52,037 --> 00:47:56,041
- His name is Simon.
- Thank you, old man.

626
00:47:56,166 --> 00:47:59,878
I'm warning you, that's all he can say,
and he never stops.

627
00:48:00,003 --> 00:48:02,588
That's why we brought him.

628
00:48:03,797 --> 00:48:06,300
Say hello to your new master.

629
00:48:06,425 --> 00:48:08,719
I've never kept an animal in the house.

630
00:48:08,844 --> 00:48:11,680
Animals should be set free
to live in their natural environment.

631
00:48:11,805 --> 00:48:14,433
Thank you, old man.
Thank you, old man.

632
00:48:15,476 --> 00:48:17,770
If he breaks your balls,
send him up to me

633
00:48:17,895 --> 00:48:19,939
and I'll break his neck.

634
00:48:20,940 --> 00:48:24,318
He drove Konrad crazy on the boat.
We put the bird in his cabin.

635
00:48:25,027 --> 00:48:28,238
You made a big mistake
not to come with us, Professor.

636
00:48:28,364 --> 00:48:30,866
You gotta be kidding.
You did a good thing.

637
00:48:30,991 --> 00:48:32,826
Lucky, huh?

638
00:48:32,952 --> 00:48:36,538
Professor, if you can just keep the bird
for tonight, tomorrow morning...

639
00:48:36,664 --> 00:48:39,541
Listen, young man,
I want a word with you.

640
00:48:40,167 --> 00:48:42,378
I wouldn't like to repeat
the experience of the last time.

641
00:48:42,503 --> 00:48:44,338
You were supposed
to come back that evening

642
00:48:44,463 --> 00:48:46,006
and go over some plans with me.

643
00:48:46,131 --> 00:48:49,676
- More than a month has gone by.
- Hey, come here!

644
00:48:51,177 --> 00:48:54,055
I found the skeletons. He's Bluebeard!

645
00:48:56,099 --> 00:48:57,642
What is it?

646
00:48:58,726 --> 00:49:01,896
- Hey, not bad.
- Not bad? It's brilliant.

647
00:49:05,525 --> 00:49:09,028
- Was it here or did you have it made?
- It was here.

648
00:49:09,153 --> 00:49:12,532
It was very useful to many people
during the war.

649
00:49:13,783 --> 00:49:16,536
There's nothing of interest
for you to see. It's just a room.

650
00:49:16,661 --> 00:49:19,831
- Stefano, let's go.
- Yeah, yeah.

651
00:49:19,956 --> 00:49:23,543
My mother, who was Italian,
lived here during the war.

652
00:49:23,668 --> 00:49:28,631
She had this secret apartment built
to hide political refugees.

653
00:49:29,757 --> 00:49:32,093
Partisans, Jews.

654
00:49:33,553 --> 00:49:36,263
I know very little
about her life at that time.

655
00:49:36,388 --> 00:49:39,433
She died before the war ended.

656
00:49:39,558 --> 00:49:42,519
I was in America and I came back
to Italy with the army.

657
00:49:42,644 --> 00:49:45,063
I've been here ever since.

658
00:49:45,188 --> 00:49:48,567
Professor, we're going.
I can't keep my eyes open.

659
00:49:48,692 --> 00:49:53,238
- You coming, Konrad?
- All right. I'd better get my blanket.

660
00:50:02,330 --> 00:50:05,834
I'm very disappointed.
I was sure you'd fall in love with Simon.

661
00:50:05,959 --> 00:50:08,462
Perhaps I will.

662
00:50:08,587 --> 00:50:11,048
Thank you, old man.
Thank you, old man.

663
00:50:16,845 --> 00:50:19,431
Well, I'm all set.

664
00:50:19,556 --> 00:50:22,601
Once more, I have the honour
of sleeping above your head.

665
00:50:23,434 --> 00:50:25,811
- But no one is to know, understand?
- No.

666
00:50:26,687 --> 00:50:29,148
- Ciao! Good night, Professor.
- Good night.

667
00:50:30,524 --> 00:50:32,693
Bianca thinks he's on his way to Vienna.

668
00:50:32,818 --> 00:50:37,239
A well-earned vacation after being stuck
with her in the same cabin for a month.

669
00:50:37,364 --> 00:50:40,701
Oh, shut up, Stefano!
Ciao, Professor. Good night.

670
00:50:40,826 --> 00:50:42,995
Good night, Lietta. Come.

671
00:50:44,622 --> 00:50:47,041
Ciao, Konrad.
See you tomorrow!

672
00:50:47,166 --> 00:50:48,876
- Good night.
- Ciao, Lietta.

673
00:50:50,336 --> 00:50:52,004
Good night.

674
00:52:18,672 --> 00:52:20,924
Who's that? Stop!

675
00:52:42,154 --> 00:52:44,531
Oh, my God! What happened?

676
00:52:44,656 --> 00:52:47,909
- I'd better call the police.
- Don't call anybody.

677
00:52:48,034 --> 00:52:50,077
Mind your own business.

678
00:52:50,203 --> 00:52:51,996
If you want to help me,
get me out of here.

679
00:52:52,121 --> 00:52:53,831
All right, all right.

680
00:52:54,832 --> 00:52:56,667
I'll take you downstairs.

681
00:53:01,505 --> 00:53:04,175
Easy.

682
00:53:22,568 --> 00:53:23,903
Agh!

683
00:53:51,554 --> 00:53:53,306
Don't move.

684
00:53:53,431 --> 00:53:54,975
It's all right.

685
00:53:55,100 --> 00:53:57,686
- Where am I?
- In my apartment.

686
00:53:57,811 --> 00:54:01,147
You fainted twice.
I practically had to carry you downstairs.

687
00:54:03,650 --> 00:54:05,402
I'll be right back.

688
00:54:28,090 --> 00:54:30,134
Lousy bastards!

689
00:54:32,303 --> 00:54:34,096
You'd better lie down.

690
00:55:03,834 --> 00:55:06,170
Did you know the men
who attacked you?

691
00:55:08,464 --> 00:55:10,173
No. Why?

692
00:55:13,092 --> 00:55:15,386
I didn't see them.
They came from behind.

693
00:55:15,511 --> 00:55:16,929
I got a good look at one of them.

694
00:55:17,055 --> 00:55:20,058
I'm sure I could recognise him,
but you told me...

695
00:55:20,183 --> 00:55:21,309
What?

696
00:55:21,434 --> 00:55:24,062
With great insistence,
you told me not to call the police.

697
00:55:24,187 --> 00:55:28,608
I assumed they were people you knew,
someone you'd had an argument with.

698
00:55:28,733 --> 00:55:31,903
- I thought I'd make sure before calling.
- For Christ's sake, don't!

699
00:55:36,532 --> 00:55:39,660
It's my duty to help, to call the police.

700
00:55:39,786 --> 00:55:44,999
You don't have any duty. I don't want
to have anything to do with the police.

701
00:55:49,587 --> 00:55:53,466
They won't find the bastards,
they won't even look for them.

702
00:55:53,591 --> 00:55:57,344
They're occupied by the several
other festivities of city life -

703
00:55:57,469 --> 00:56:02,391
murders, rapes, robberies,
strikes, demonstrations.

704
00:56:03,141 --> 00:56:06,395
The police don't give a damn
about a common split lip.

705
00:56:07,521 --> 00:56:11,900
If they get my name on their files,
then the shit starts to fly.

706
00:56:13,402 --> 00:56:15,904
No, the police don't give a damn.

707
00:56:16,988 --> 00:56:19,950
There might be some
smart-arse reporter

708
00:56:20,075 --> 00:56:21,993
who recognises the name
of the young man.

709
00:56:22,119 --> 00:56:24,871
"The frequent dancing partner..."

710
00:56:24,996 --> 00:56:28,625
That's the expression they like to use.

711
00:56:28,750 --> 00:56:32,379
"..with Madame Brumonti,
wife of the well-known fascist."

712
00:56:35,507 --> 00:56:37,467
Now do you begin to understand?

713
00:56:41,388 --> 00:56:42,722
Good.

714
00:56:47,393 --> 00:56:49,311
- Blood!
- Blood?

715
00:56:49,437 --> 00:56:53,816
- There must be blood all over upstairs.
- Yes, but they'll clean that up tomorrow.

716
00:56:53,941 --> 00:56:58,070
I told you, for Christ's sake.
I told you I don't want anybody to know.

717
00:56:58,195 --> 00:57:00,156
Let me go!
The workmen are here tomorrow.

718
00:57:00,281 --> 00:57:04,076
All right. I'll go.
I'll clean them up. You stay here.

719
00:57:05,453 --> 00:57:09,540
Stay here, but take my advice -
let me calla doctor.

720
00:57:09,665 --> 00:57:11,542
Oh, shit!

721
00:57:13,335 --> 00:57:15,337
All you can think of is calling people!

722
00:57:16,464 --> 00:57:18,424
All right. All right.

723
00:57:21,469 --> 00:57:22,803
Professor?

724
00:57:25,431 --> 00:57:27,099
You mind if I stay here tonight?

725
00:57:27,224 --> 00:57:29,852
The idea of going
back upstairs scares me.

726
00:57:31,061 --> 00:57:33,396
Sure, sure. You stay here and rest.

727
00:57:35,482 --> 00:57:37,984
I will be back soon.

728
00:57:39,110 --> 00:57:41,654
It's humiliating getting beaten up.

729
00:57:41,779 --> 00:57:44,491
At least if they kill you, you save face!

730
00:57:47,660 --> 00:57:50,580
This way, people just... just laugh.

731
00:57:52,499 --> 00:57:56,169
"Did you hear?
They kicked his arse in good!"

732
00:58:01,591 --> 00:58:03,510
Let me get you a tranquilliser.

733
00:58:04,677 --> 00:58:07,639
No, I never take them.

734
00:58:49,054 --> 00:58:51,223
Open up!

735
00:58:55,894 --> 00:58:57,563
What did you do, lock me in?

736
00:58:58,772 --> 00:59:01,692
Erminia comes in early
to clean up the study.

737
00:59:03,735 --> 00:59:06,697
I'm sorry. My nerves are all shot.

738
00:59:09,532 --> 00:59:13,536
No, leave it open!
I can't stand being trapped.

739
00:59:19,542 --> 00:59:22,295
Seeing me like this,
you probably think I'm a coward,

740
00:59:22,420 --> 00:59:25,089
along with whatever else
you think of me.

741
00:59:25,214 --> 00:59:28,467
Professor, have you ever been afraid?

742
00:59:30,845 --> 00:59:32,471
Yes.

743
00:59:35,474 --> 00:59:37,727
Yes, I've been afraid.

744
00:59:37,852 --> 00:59:40,730
I was in the war and I was afraid,

745
00:59:40,855 --> 00:59:43,065
but there are many kinds of fear,

746
00:59:43,190 --> 00:59:46,360
I was even more afraid
when I gave up my profession.

747
00:59:46,485 --> 00:59:49,905
Afraid of not knowing
how to begin life all over again.

748
00:59:50,031 --> 00:59:53,034
- Your profession?
- I was a doctor of science at the time.

749
00:59:53,868 --> 00:59:57,746
Funny. I thought you were a science
professor when I first met you.

750
00:59:57,871 --> 01:00:00,290
- Once.
- Once?

751
01:00:01,916 --> 01:00:04,461
The price of progress is destruction.

752
01:00:05,670 --> 01:00:09,633
I began to realise that modern science
can't be neutral.

753
01:00:09,758 --> 01:00:12,552
In fact, it has to serve practical ends.

754
01:00:15,263 --> 01:00:20,101
I saw it turning technology's power
to liberate into a kind of a slavery.

755
01:00:21,478 --> 01:00:23,855
As far as reality is concerned...

756
01:01:08,857 --> 01:01:11,110
Thank you, old man!
Thank you, old man!

757
01:01:22,788 --> 01:01:24,123
They're killing me!

758
01:01:24,248 --> 01:01:25,958
Already here, are you?

759
01:01:26,083 --> 01:01:28,001
The young people are
with the professor, then?

760
01:01:28,127 --> 01:01:30,586
- I don't know.
- Didn't they come last night?

761
01:01:30,712 --> 01:01:34,882
- Thank you, old man!
- Keep quiet. Ghastly, isn't it?

762
01:01:35,007 --> 01:01:37,510
- May I use the phone?
- I'll bring it to you.

763
01:01:37,635 --> 01:01:40,388
I'm so sorry,
but we'll soon have our own.

764
01:01:50,022 --> 01:01:51,566
Professor?

765
01:01:52,608 --> 01:01:55,236
I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here.

766
01:01:55,361 --> 01:01:59,157
The lady from upstairs
wants to use the phone.

767
01:01:59,282 --> 01:02:01,159
- You slept here all night?
- What?

768
01:02:01,284 --> 01:02:04,036
-You slept...?
- No, no. I...

769
01:02:04,162 --> 01:02:06,581
No, no. I woke up early.

770
01:02:07,665 --> 01:02:11,002
I came in here to do some work.
I suppose I fell asleep.

771
01:02:11,127 --> 01:02:15,381
- I'll get your breakfast, then.
- Yes, but bring it in here.

772
01:03:00,050 --> 01:03:02,385
- The telephone is in the drawing room.
- Thank you.

773
01:03:02,511 --> 01:03:06,347
- Thank you, old man!
- Poor thing. He must be famished.

774
01:03:06,472 --> 01:03:08,390
Would you bring me a coffee, please?

775
01:03:12,728 --> 01:03:14,647
Someone's at the door, Erminia.

776
01:03:14,772 --> 01:03:16,440
Yes, madam, I know.

777
01:03:16,565 --> 01:03:21,987
Good morning, Erminia.
ls Madame Brumonti here?

778
01:03:22,112 --> 01:03:24,824
- Is that my chauffeur, Richey?
- Yes, madam.

779
01:03:24,949 --> 01:03:26,242
I'm in here.

780
01:03:26,367 --> 01:03:28,035
Master Stefano
asked me to tell you

781
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:29,829
that he's downstairs waiting for you.

782
01:03:29,954 --> 01:03:32,915
All right, Richey.
Tell him I'll be right down.

783
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:36,335
In the meantime, tell him to go
and buy some food for Simon.

784
01:03:36,460 --> 01:03:39,213
- I beg your pardon?
- Thank you, old man.

785
01:03:39,338 --> 01:03:42,466
What is that, a parrot?

786
01:03:42,591 --> 01:03:45,469
I don't know what it is. Take it away.

787
01:03:45,594 --> 01:03:47,680
I wasn't laughing at you...

788
01:03:47,805 --> 01:03:50,850
Hello? Hello?

789
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:54,811
Here they are! Daniele!

790
01:03:54,936 --> 01:03:57,397
Daniele, Daniele, come quick!

791
01:04:05,697 --> 01:04:08,408
- I'm so happy to see you!
- You haven't changed at all.

792
01:04:08,533 --> 01:04:10,285
Let me take that suitcase.

793
01:04:10,410 --> 01:04:12,871
- Is all the luggage here?
- Yes!

794
01:04:12,996 --> 01:04:15,415
I'm so happy to be back.

795
01:04:21,129 --> 01:04:23,506
- Oh, give me that, miss.
- Thank you.

796
01:04:23,631 --> 01:04:25,425
I mean, madam.

797
01:04:41,982 --> 01:04:45,193
So, that's our little American boy?

798
01:04:45,319 --> 01:04:48,030
- He looks like you now.
- Hm.

799
01:04:48,655 --> 01:04:51,783
- Can you come and help us?
- Yes, certainly.

800
01:04:52,701 --> 01:04:56,371
Say something. Say hello to Louisa.

801
01:04:57,831 --> 01:05:00,208
- He's shy.
- Don't you like my house?

802
01:05:00,334 --> 01:05:02,920
- Hm?
- Of course you do.

803
01:05:03,045 --> 01:05:05,505
- Would you like a candy?
- Ooh, well!

804
01:05:06,924 --> 01:05:09,176
How sweet he's so shy!

805
01:05:22,814 --> 01:05:24,816
Put it there, on the table.

806
01:05:29,612 --> 01:05:32,490
Madame Brumonti asked
for some coffee. I gave it to her.

807
01:05:32,615 --> 01:05:34,450
All right.

808
01:07:11,045 --> 01:07:12,796
I was asleep for 16 hours!

809
01:07:12,921 --> 01:07:15,924
- Why didn't you wake me up?
- It did you good.

810
01:07:16,050 --> 01:07:19,344
Besides, you'd have had difficulty
slipping out unobserved.

811
01:07:19,470 --> 01:07:22,473
When I woke up this morning,
Madame Brumonti was in the house.

812
01:07:22,598 --> 01:07:26,602
- Was she looking for me?
- No. She came in to use the telephone.

813
01:07:26,727 --> 01:07:30,481
Then she took Erminia upstairs
to lend a hand with something or other.

814
01:07:31,065 --> 01:07:35,194
- A lot of coming and going all day.
- Does Erminia know I'm here?

815
01:07:35,319 --> 01:07:37,237
No.

816
01:07:37,362 --> 01:07:38,697
Ssh.

817
01:07:41,658 --> 01:07:43,744
She didn't notice a thing.

818
01:08:13,856 --> 01:08:16,400
I put that awful bird
on the back terrace

819
01:08:16,526 --> 01:08:18,319
and covered its cage with a cloth.

820
01:08:18,444 --> 01:08:22,490
Leave it in the kitchen.
Those creatures must be kept warm.

821
01:08:22,615 --> 01:08:25,368
Why don't you give it
to Domenico? He loves it so.

822
01:08:25,493 --> 01:08:28,079
I'll return it to the person
who gave it to me.

823
01:08:28,204 --> 01:08:31,999
- Is there anything more you wish?
- No, thank you. That's all for now.

824
01:08:32,125 --> 01:08:34,710
- Good night, Erminia.
- Good night, Professor.

825
01:08:52,602 --> 01:08:54,938
Look, I want to tell you something.

826
01:08:55,063 --> 01:08:57,440
I lied to you last night.

827
01:08:58,483 --> 01:09:01,153
I know who beat me up
and I know why.

828
01:09:01,278 --> 01:09:02,404
I never doubted that.

829
01:09:02,529 --> 01:09:04,990
You have every right
to ask me questions.

830
01:09:05,115 --> 01:09:08,201
There's no need to explain.
I'm not curious.

831
01:09:08,326 --> 01:09:09,995
Your lip seems to be doing fairly well.

832
01:09:11,496 --> 01:09:13,373
It'll be all right.

833
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,419
You can't wait for me to leave, can you?

834
01:09:19,671 --> 01:09:21,590
In a way.

835
01:09:22,424 --> 01:09:23,675
OK.

836
01:09:25,177 --> 01:09:27,344
It was kind of you to help me.

837
01:09:27,469 --> 01:09:30,931
I can understand you not wanting
to be involved any further.

838
01:09:31,056 --> 01:09:34,935
That has nothing to do with it.
I'm accustomed to being alone.

839
01:09:35,060 --> 01:09:37,605
The sense of another presence
in the house disturbs me,

840
01:09:37,730 --> 01:09:39,440
prevents me from working.

841
01:09:39,565 --> 01:09:43,986
Give me time to make a couple
of phone calls, see if I can leave tonight.

842
01:09:44,111 --> 01:09:45,946
As you wish.

843
01:09:48,199 --> 01:09:51,493
The things I told you about myself...
Remember?

844
01:09:51,619 --> 01:09:53,871
Well, they're true.

845
01:09:55,456 --> 01:09:58,375
While trying to pull myself out
of smaller messes,

846
01:09:58,500 --> 01:10:01,086
I've really gotten into a big one.

847
01:10:01,212 --> 01:10:03,547
I wasn't always like this.

848
01:10:04,423 --> 01:10:06,217
Once, I...

849
01:10:07,426 --> 01:10:11,055
Oh, shit! I've become so fucking cynical
about everything!

850
01:10:11,889 --> 01:10:13,848
Everything I ever cared about.

851
01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:17,518
I didn't really sleep all day.

852
01:10:18,770 --> 01:10:21,898
I kept waking up,
heard you moving about.

853
01:10:23,066 --> 01:10:25,401
I imagined...

854
01:10:25,526 --> 01:10:28,529
I imagined I was telling you about myself.

855
01:10:29,697 --> 01:10:33,368
- Asking your advice.
- I'm afraid I have no advice.

856
01:10:33,493 --> 01:10:36,496
A young man of your age, your
intelligence, should know what to do.

857
01:10:38,206 --> 01:10:40,083
Make a clean break?

858
01:10:41,793 --> 01:10:45,255
Sure. It's that simple

859
01:10:45,380 --> 01:10:48,341
If Erminia's gone to bed,
I'll get you something to eat.

860
01:10:48,466 --> 01:10:50,093
Then I'm going to bed myself.

861
01:10:50,218 --> 01:10:51,803
Make all the phone calls you want.

862
01:10:51,928 --> 01:10:54,514
When you leave,
shut that door carefully.

863
01:10:54,639 --> 01:10:57,100
I'll straighten things up tomorrow.

864
01:12:05,207 --> 01:12:07,501
I want to tell you everything.

865
01:12:07,626 --> 01:12:10,796
I have to tell you everything
that's happening to me.

866
01:12:10,921 --> 01:12:13,966
I need you near me, helping me.

867
01:14:33,436 --> 01:14:35,771
Oh, we woke him up.

868
01:14:37,982 --> 01:14:42,862
"If you see a fair form, chase it.
And, if possible, embrace it.

869
01:14:42,987 --> 01:14:44,947
"Be it a girl or a boy.

870
01:14:45,823 --> 01:14:48,451
"Don't be bashful: be brash, be fresh.

871
01:14:48,576 --> 01:14:54,332
"Life is short, so enjoy whatever contact
your flesh might at the moment crave.

872
01:14:54,457 --> 01:14:56,626
"There is no sex life in the grave."

873
01:14:56,751 --> 01:14:59,002
- What are you saying?
- You taught it to me.

874
01:14:59,127 --> 01:15:01,213
Don't you remember?

875
01:15:01,338 --> 01:15:04,674
He says it's Auden's last poem.
You know everything.

876
01:15:04,799 --> 01:15:06,760
Did you know that?

877
01:15:06,885 --> 01:15:08,637
Your wounded warrior, Professor,

878
01:15:08,762 --> 01:15:11,806
asked us to bring him
a suitcase and a car. Ha!

879
01:15:11,932 --> 01:15:14,809
Looks like he and Bianca
are breaking up, after all.

880
01:15:14,935 --> 01:15:17,479
There's no such thing
as a clean break.

881
01:15:17,604 --> 01:15:20,649
- What does that mean?
- The professor knows.

882
01:15:20,774 --> 01:15:24,694
Oh, he knows everything.
How about telling me?

883
01:15:25,779 --> 01:15:29,199
The professor said
that I should change my life.

884
01:15:29,324 --> 01:15:31,993
Is that all
You don't know what you're asking.

885
01:15:32,118 --> 01:15:33,787
Why, what do you know?

886
01:15:33,912 --> 01:15:37,332
Stefano's major disaster in life is envy.

887
01:15:37,457 --> 01:15:41,336
One day, you must tell me, darling,
what that Kraut's got that I should envy.

888
01:15:41,461 --> 01:15:43,713
Yeah, well, one day I will.

889
01:15:43,838 --> 01:15:46,715
Poor Professor, you're still half asleep.

890
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,218
Don't worry. We'll be going now.

891
01:15:49,343 --> 01:15:51,887
You see? It's only like a game we play.

892
01:15:52,012 --> 01:15:54,431
There's nothing terrible in it. I mean...

893
01:15:55,766 --> 01:15:58,352
When you were young,
weren't you the same?

894
01:15:58,978 --> 01:16:00,563
No.

895
01:16:01,522 --> 01:16:02,815
Absolutely not.

896
01:16:02,940 --> 01:16:07,403
You missed out on a lot,
but you must have had some kind of fun.

897
01:16:07,528 --> 01:16:10,239
You're wealthy and handsome,
what did you do?

898
01:16:10,364 --> 01:16:12,700
- What did I do?
- Right.

899
01:16:12,825 --> 01:16:17,037
I studied, I travelled, I was in the war.

900
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,040
I married.

901
01:16:21,750 --> 01:16:23,544
That didn't work.

902
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,172
And then, when I found time
to look around,

903
01:16:27,298 --> 01:16:31,302
I discovered I was in the midst of people
with whom I had nothing in common.

904
01:16:31,427 --> 01:16:35,263
Come off it, Professor.
We're not THAT far apart.

905
01:16:35,388 --> 01:16:38,308
- No, he's right.
- How?

906
01:16:38,433 --> 01:16:41,811
Let's remember, society is what it is.

907
01:16:41,936 --> 01:16:46,024
-The fault is...
- Oh, Konrad. Not now with all that crap!

908
01:16:46,149 --> 01:16:50,987
I want to hear more about the professor,
his private life, his past, present...

909
01:16:51,112 --> 01:16:53,948
Present? Presently, I'm an old man.

910
01:16:54,073 --> 01:16:57,660
Oh, Professor, stop it.
You know you're not old.

911
01:16:57,785 --> 01:17:00,455
You keep forgetting
you're a very attractive man.

912
01:17:00,580 --> 01:17:02,624
At least, I think so.

913
01:17:02,749 --> 01:17:04,626
What would you do
if I wanted to kiss you?

914
01:17:04,751 --> 01:17:06,628
I wouldn't envy you.

915
01:17:06,753 --> 01:17:10,423
Because if I put myself in your place,
I would see approaching me

916
01:17:10,548 --> 01:17:15,053
the face of a man
who hasn't been young for along time.

917
01:17:17,138 --> 01:17:19,724
- Cut it out.
- But I'm serious!

918
01:17:19,849 --> 01:17:23,268
I mean it, he really turns me on.
I'd marry him if he asked me.

919
01:17:23,393 --> 01:17:25,896
I won't ask you.

920
01:17:26,021 --> 01:17:30,275
Do you think of me as one of those
characters in a comic opera?

921
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,278
The old man
who's mocked and betrayed?

922
01:17:33,403 --> 01:17:37,491
The only love story that would suit
a man at my age is King Lear's.

923
01:17:37,616 --> 01:17:39,910
- A father's love for his children.
- Huh.

924
01:17:40,035 --> 01:17:44,289
You avoided that one rather nicely.
No children, no fuss.

925
01:17:44,414 --> 01:17:48,043
Ah, but the professor
would be a super father!

926
01:17:48,168 --> 01:17:49,920
You know what?

927
01:17:50,045 --> 01:17:53,548
The first time one of those two creeps
gets careless and knocks me up,

928
01:17:53,674 --> 01:17:56,885
the hell with abortion, I'm going to have
the baby and give it to you.

929
01:17:57,010 --> 01:18:00,514
I don't have that much time left.
I'd need an older child.

930
01:18:01,973 --> 01:18:04,267
Someone to whom I could tell
the few things I know.

931
01:18:04,393 --> 01:18:07,229
Konrad! Adopt Konrad!

932
01:18:07,354 --> 01:18:09,730
He's intelligent and handsome.

933
01:18:09,855 --> 01:18:12,274
Distinguished looking.

934
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:16,821
And if he'd only stop those schemes
to make money, he'd be perfect. Konrad!

935
01:18:16,946 --> 01:18:19,323
You've just been adopted.

936
01:18:19,448 --> 01:18:22,201
He'll be a bit expensive, though,
at least in the beginning -

937
01:18:22,326 --> 01:18:24,203
you ought to be warned.

938
01:18:24,328 --> 01:18:26,831
Tonight, he might even ask you
for five million lira.

939
01:18:26,956 --> 01:18:30,876
Poor Konrad,
a gambling debt in a low dive.

940
01:18:31,001 --> 01:18:34,296
That's the only reason
they bashed his face in.

941
01:18:34,422 --> 01:18:36,298
I thought we were going
to pay his debt off

942
01:18:36,424 --> 01:18:40,177
with the money your mother
gave us to fix up the apartment.

943
01:18:40,302 --> 01:18:41,929
Whether she knows it or not,

944
01:18:42,054 --> 01:18:44,515
Bianca's always the one
who pays his bills.

945
01:18:46,016 --> 01:18:47,852
A gambling debt.

946
01:18:48,936 --> 01:18:52,481
That wouldn't be so bad.
Shame it isn't exactly true.

947
01:18:53,524 --> 01:18:55,067
Where's my jacket?

948
01:18:55,192 --> 01:18:58,737
I have got to go now if I want to be
in Munich tomorrow evening.

949
01:18:58,862 --> 01:19:00,822
There it is on the chair.

950
01:19:02,323 --> 01:19:04,534
We'll walk you to the car, OK?

951
01:19:07,412 --> 01:19:09,998
You've got to persuade him
to adopt you.

952
01:19:10,123 --> 01:19:13,084
I'll do my best, if it makes you happy.

953
01:19:17,839 --> 01:19:21,843
Professor, tell your son
he shouldn't drive like a mad man!

954
01:19:21,968 --> 01:19:25,096
You'll risk losing him
before you've even adopted him.

955
01:19:26,473 --> 01:19:29,809
And I'll risk losing my car!

956
01:19:29,934 --> 01:19:31,853
Would you come to my funeral,
Professor?

957
01:19:31,978 --> 01:19:36,399
He'd probably be the only respectable
person in the whole procession.

958
01:19:36,524 --> 01:19:39,486
Every whore in Rome
dressed in black will be there!

959
01:19:39,611 --> 01:19:41,404
Like a parade of snivelling widows.

960
01:19:41,529 --> 01:19:45,365
Followed by all the junkies,
conmen and dykes.

961
01:19:45,491 --> 01:19:47,659
And a delegation of faggots!

962
01:20:13,519 --> 01:20:17,481
- Ah, Professor, excuse me.
- Yes? What is it, Domenico?

963
01:20:17,606 --> 01:20:20,901
These two gentlemen
would like a word with you.

964
01:20:21,026 --> 01:20:23,654
I don't have an appointment with anyone.

965
01:20:23,779 --> 01:20:25,239
They are from the police.

966
01:20:25,364 --> 01:20:27,115
- Police?
- Yes.

967
01:20:29,535 --> 01:20:31,828
May I have a word with you, Professor?

968
01:20:31,953 --> 01:20:34,997
I'm Sergeant Bernai,
from the Campitelli precinct.

969
01:20:36,332 --> 01:20:39,460
We need a bit of information,
if it isn't too much trouble.

970
01:20:39,585 --> 01:20:43,297
- I'm on my way out.
- It'll only take a minute.

971
01:20:43,422 --> 01:20:45,883
Er... Herr Konrad Huebel.

972
01:20:46,008 --> 01:20:49,846
- Is this gentleman living here with you?
- Absolutely not.

973
01:20:51,514 --> 01:20:55,393
- So you don't know this Huebel?
- You asked if he lived with me.

974
01:20:55,518 --> 01:20:58,980
- I told you he did not.
- But you do know him.

975
01:21:00,523 --> 01:21:01,732
Yes, we've met.

976
01:21:01,858 --> 01:21:05,319
He's the guest of tenants who've rented
an apartment belonging to me.

977
01:21:05,444 --> 01:21:08,906
We would be very grateful
if you could stop by the police station,

978
01:21:09,031 --> 01:21:10,908
at your convenience, naturally.

979
01:21:11,033 --> 01:21:15,121
- I tell you, there's nothing...
- The inspector can explain it all better.

980
01:21:15,246 --> 01:21:18,916
The fact is that this Huebel
insists he was at your house

981
01:21:19,041 --> 01:21:23,003
the night of February 2nd
and all day February 3rd.

982
01:21:27,090 --> 01:21:29,134
I'II accompany you to the police station.

983
01:21:42,355 --> 01:21:43,690
Simply ghastly!

984
01:21:43,815 --> 01:21:46,443
- Mummy, come on!
- It looks awful.

985
01:21:46,568 --> 01:21:48,945
But we could use
a touch of colour over the sofa.

986
01:21:49,070 --> 01:21:51,990
That's a lot of money
for a little touch of colour.

987
01:21:52,115 --> 01:21:54,701
- It wasn't expensive.
- $15,000, it's practically a gift!

988
01:21:54,826 --> 01:21:57,037
I think an oil painting
would be perfect there.

989
01:21:57,162 --> 01:22:00,040
I'll go down to the professor and ask him.

990
01:22:00,165 --> 01:22:02,292
- What?
- He can lend us one of his.

991
01:22:02,417 --> 01:22:04,920
Yeah, some loose Rembrandt
he's got hanging around

992
01:22:05,045 --> 01:22:06,962
Professor, how nice!

993
01:22:08,547 --> 01:22:12,259
Have you come looking
for your Erminia? I'm so sorry!

994
01:22:12,384 --> 01:22:15,638
I've taken shameless advantage
these last few days.

995
01:22:15,763 --> 01:22:18,766
Erminia, if you've finished
your work here,

996
01:22:18,891 --> 01:22:20,392
there are things
for you to do downstairs.

997
01:22:20,517 --> 01:22:22,478
Yes, sir.

998
01:22:27,066 --> 01:22:30,527
Are you revolted?
You'll get used to it.

999
01:22:30,653 --> 01:22:34,949
I let the children decide, since
they're the ones who'll be living here.

1000
01:22:35,074 --> 01:22:38,369
Tell me I'm right. I think an oil painting
would look perfect...

1001
01:22:38,494 --> 01:22:41,330
Do you know that Konrad Huebel
was stopped at the border?

1002
01:22:41,455 --> 01:22:43,290
Stopped?

1003
01:22:43,415 --> 01:22:48,963
- By the police.
- But when? Where? He's in Munich.

1004
01:22:49,088 --> 01:22:52,341
The children brought him to the airport
the night we came back from our cruise!

1005
01:22:52,466 --> 01:22:55,301
He left here last night by car,
but that's not important.

1006
01:22:55,426 --> 01:22:59,681
- It IS important, because it's not true!
- What's not true?

1007
01:22:59,806 --> 01:23:02,433
What is it, Mummy?

1008
01:23:03,935 --> 01:23:06,312
The professor says
that Konrad left by car.

1009
01:23:06,437 --> 01:23:07,522
Yeah.

1010
01:23:07,647 --> 01:23:10,316
We didn't tell you because
you get so worried when he drives.

1011
01:23:10,441 --> 01:23:12,235
What happened?
Has he had an accident?

1012
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,320
He just told you he's been arrested.

1013
01:23:14,445 --> 01:23:16,406
Oh, no. I didn't say that.

1014
01:23:17,365 --> 01:23:21,953
The police stopped him
because they had some suspicions.

1015
01:23:22,078 --> 01:23:24,414
Explaining things, he used my name.

1016
01:23:25,790 --> 01:23:29,419
He mentioned that he had passed
the last few days at my house.

1017
01:23:29,544 --> 01:23:31,754
All very annoying!

1018
01:23:31,879 --> 01:23:36,217
- Is it true that he left last night?
- Yes. We were with him.

1019
01:23:36,342 --> 01:23:39,637
He stayed longer because he said
he had some things to do, business.

1020
01:23:39,762 --> 01:23:42,431
What I don't understand
is all this mystery!

1021
01:23:42,556 --> 01:23:44,891
- Why didn't you tell me?
- Really, Mummy...

1022
01:23:45,017 --> 01:23:49,354
It's all a part of that stupid mania
of yours to join together against me!

1023
01:23:49,896 --> 01:23:52,524
Now, Professor,
you're in it with them, hm?

1024
01:23:53,900 --> 01:23:58,363
I'm not in anything. I merely allowed him
to stay at my apartment, as he asked.

1025
01:23:59,573 --> 01:24:02,367
Ah, that's very sweet, Professor

1026
01:24:03,035 --> 01:24:06,830
Has Konrad turned
his boyish charm on you, too?

1027
01:24:08,123 --> 01:24:10,751
- What do you mean?
- Exactly what I said!

1028
01:24:10,876 --> 01:24:12,294
Mamma, stop it!

1029
01:24:12,419 --> 01:24:14,504
Just because Konrad
stayed a day or two

1030
01:24:14,629 --> 01:24:16,339
and you didn't know,
there's no reason...

1031
01:24:16,465 --> 01:24:18,508
Keep still, will you?

1032
01:24:18,633 --> 01:24:21,595
She turns smart only when
she has to think up an excuse

1033
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:23,847
for spending the night away from home!

1034
01:24:23,972 --> 01:24:26,933
Didn't you hear?
They arrested him! Why?

1035
01:24:27,059 --> 01:24:31,062
What did he do while he was here?
Can't you understand how worried I am?

1036
01:24:31,187 --> 01:24:32,938
That's not true.
You're just jealous!

1037
01:24:33,064 --> 01:24:35,941
You have to know where he is
every second of every hour.

1038
01:24:36,067 --> 01:24:38,903
Let him breathe!
Everybody has a day off.

1039
01:24:39,028 --> 01:24:41,489
- Stop this!
- Professor.

1040
01:24:41,614 --> 01:24:44,825
Could you explain to me
why Konrad asked you to put him up?

1041
01:24:44,950 --> 01:24:48,579
It's not my place to tell you.
I didn't even tell the police.

1042
01:24:48,704 --> 01:24:50,748
Believe me, it cost me some effort.

1043
01:24:50,873 --> 01:24:53,542
It is not my habit to keep silent
about such things.

1044
01:24:55,127 --> 01:24:57,505
In any case,
they would probably search my house.

1045
01:24:57,630 --> 01:24:59,924
Up here, too, looking for drugs.

1046
01:25:01,008 --> 01:25:05,930
What I didn't know is that the police
have, shall we say, a long record

1047
01:25:06,055 --> 01:25:08,265
concerning Konrad Huebel.

1048
01:25:08,390 --> 01:25:11,143
We knew all about that.
Tell him, Mummy.

1049
01:25:11,268 --> 01:25:15,314
Konrad belonged to a radical group
in Berlin. That's why he has a record.

1050
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,733
- Don't talk nonsense!
- You're being unfair.

1051
01:25:18,858 --> 01:25:22,153
You know he was arrested then.
He was one of the most active.

1052
01:25:22,278 --> 01:25:25,365
How true!
He was active, all right.

1053
01:25:25,490 --> 01:25:28,827
Running around the barricade
with a fanatic little bitch who,

1054
01:25:28,952 --> 01:25:33,623
by pure coincidence, was the daughter
of one of the richest men in Berlin. Huh!

1055
01:25:33,748 --> 01:25:35,583
You can be sure of one thing.

1056
01:25:35,708 --> 01:25:39,963
To reach his goal, Konrad will exploit
anything - even a protest movement!

1057
01:25:40,088 --> 01:25:41,714
You love putting him down!

1058
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:44,717
Huh! I may be infatuated with Konrad,

1059
01:25:44,843 --> 01:25:48,596
but that doesn't mean I don't know
what sort of person I'm dealing with!

1060
01:25:48,721 --> 01:25:52,267
Have you any idea why Konrad
couldn't get off the boat in Cannes?

1061
01:25:52,392 --> 01:25:56,479
Because if he sets foot in France,
they'll put him in jail, as quick as a wink!

1062
01:25:56,604 --> 01:26:00,692
Ah! I'm appalled, horrified!
What sort of people ARE you?

1063
01:26:00,817 --> 01:26:02,277
You entrust your daughter, a minor,

1064
01:26:02,402 --> 01:26:05,195
to someone for whom
you have absolutely no respect!

1065
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:08,073
I certainly do not entrust her to him.

1066
01:26:09,408 --> 01:26:11,618
They live together in this house.

1067
01:26:11,743 --> 01:26:14,872
Mummy's making him sound terrible.
He's not that bad.

1068
01:26:16,999 --> 01:26:18,876
I'm not judging anyone.

1069
01:26:19,001 --> 01:26:22,504
Konrad might be a saint,
for all I know - unjustly accused.

1070
01:26:22,629 --> 01:26:26,258
The important thing is that your mother
considers him a wastrel, immoral,

1071
01:26:26,383 --> 01:26:27,801
a person Of no consequence,

1072
01:26:27,926 --> 01:26:30,345
and still she leaves
her young daughter in his charge?

1073
01:26:30,470 --> 01:26:31,930
She forces him
upon her acquaintances.

1074
01:26:32,055 --> 01:26:34,808
My acquaintances are all vaccinated.

1075
01:26:34,933 --> 01:26:39,271
Don't worry about that, Professor.
And Lietta isn't in the slightest danger!

1076
01:26:39,396 --> 01:26:43,567
In my house, I saw proof to the contrary,
but we won't go into that.

1077
01:26:44,568 --> 01:26:48,780
- It is my duty to warn you, in case you...
- In case I had any illusions?

1078
01:26:48,906 --> 01:26:50,866
No, I have no illusions!

1079
01:26:54,994 --> 01:26:57,455
For me,
that is your only possible excuse.

1080
01:26:59,457 --> 01:27:01,667
We have nothing further
to say to each other.

1081
01:27:25,608 --> 01:27:29,737
Professor, Madame Brumonti asked me
if I could give her a hand once in a while.

1082
01:27:29,862 --> 01:27:31,489
I didn't know what to do.

1083
01:27:31,614 --> 01:27:33,824
If you wish to help them,
you're free to do so.

1084
01:27:33,950 --> 01:27:37,286
- I prefer not to see them anymore.
- Yes, sir. All right.

1085
01:28:22,330 --> 01:28:24,958
You weren't at all nice
to your grandfather.

1086
01:28:27,460 --> 01:28:31,463
He's so happy to have us here.
He's alone so much.

1087
01:28:35,968 --> 01:28:40,306
It's terrible to be left alone
when you're old and ill.

1088
01:28:40,431 --> 01:28:41,974
Alone?

1089
01:28:42,975 --> 01:28:44,935
He's not alone.

1090
01:28:45,060 --> 01:28:49,023
He has a cook and a maid.
He's even got a cat.

1091
01:28:49,815 --> 01:28:51,483
I don't have a cat.

1092
01:29:23,848 --> 01:29:28,478
Erminia, go upstairs at once. Tell those
people to stop making so much noise!

1093
01:29:28,603 --> 01:29:30,480
Yes, sir.

1094
01:29:33,024 --> 01:29:34,984
- Hello?
- 'ls that you, Professor?'

1095
01:29:35,109 --> 01:29:38,237
- Yes, this is he.
- 'I hope we're not disturbing you.'

1096
01:29:38,363 --> 01:29:40,281
As a matter of fact,
you ARE disturbing me.

1097
01:29:40,406 --> 01:29:42,700
I'd appreciate it
if you turned down that music.

1098
01:29:42,825 --> 01:29:45,244
- 'Yes, sir. I'll do it right away.I
- Thank you.

1099
01:29:45,370 --> 01:29:47,622
- 'Oh, Professor?'
- Yes?

1100
01:29:47,747 --> 01:29:50,083
'Did you know
we had our own telephone?'

1101
01:29:50,208 --> 01:29:53,294
It's quite evident that you have
your own telephone now.

1102
01:29:53,419 --> 01:29:56,464
'The number is 6-7-6-0-1-3.'

1103
01:29:56,589 --> 01:29:59,759
- 'Did you get that?'
- 6-7-6-0-1-3.

1104
01:29:59,884 --> 01:30:03,678
'If you need anything, just call us.
Have you written it down?'

1105
01:30:03,804 --> 01:30:06,014
Yes, I've written it down.

1106
01:30:19,611 --> 01:30:20,737
Hello?

1107
01:30:20,862 --> 01:30:22,656
'Professor,
I know I'm bothering you again,

1108
01:30:22,781 --> 01:30:24,783
'but you didn't answer my letter.'

1109
01:30:24,908 --> 01:30:26,451
- Letter?
- 'Yes.'

1110
01:30:26,576 --> 01:30:29,246
- I've received no letter.
- 'Oh, you didn't see it?

1111
01:30:29,371 --> 01:30:31,748
'I slipped it under your door
this evening.'

1112
01:30:31,873 --> 01:30:35,585
- Oh. Oh, I see.
- 'l'd like an answer.'

1113
01:30:58,649 --> 01:31:02,486
Something told me you wouldn't answer,
so I decided to come down.

1114
01:31:03,988 --> 01:31:06,824
You haven't read it yet?

1115
01:31:08,033 --> 01:31:10,578
Herr Konrad came back.

1116
01:31:10,703 --> 01:31:14,123
So we decided to have
a sort of housewarming.

1117
01:31:14,248 --> 01:31:17,168
But then at the last minute,
we didn't feel like it.

1118
01:31:17,293 --> 01:31:19,336
A couple of friends came by, anyway.

1119
01:31:19,462 --> 01:31:23,424
We were listening to some music,
dancing, talking.

1120
01:31:23,549 --> 01:31:25,050
Would you like to come up?

1121
01:31:25,176 --> 01:31:27,136
- Thank you, but I...
- Did the police tell you?

1122
01:31:27,261 --> 01:31:30,639
Konrad had nothing to do with that mess
they bothered you about.

1123
01:31:30,764 --> 01:31:34,477
- Yes, they did.
- You said some terrible things to us.

1124
01:31:34,602 --> 01:31:37,730
- We were quite upset.
- I allowed myself to be carried away.

1125
01:31:37,855 --> 01:31:41,357
- I shouldn't have.
- You made a lot of sense, though.

1126
01:31:41,483 --> 01:31:43,485
But all those things Mummy said.

1127
01:31:43,610 --> 01:31:48,156
She doesn't really know everything
about Konrad. None of us do.

1128
01:31:48,281 --> 01:31:52,285
Poor Konrad. He would do just about
anything to make money.

1129
01:31:52,410 --> 01:31:55,288
He gambles, gets in trouble.
Well, you saw!

1130
01:31:56,831 --> 01:32:00,460
And the only time he won big,
he spent it all on a present for Mummy.

1131
01:32:01,503 --> 01:32:04,088
He's so proud to know a man like you.

1132
01:32:05,465 --> 01:32:08,384
Maybe he once had ambitions
we know nothing about.

1133
01:32:09,552 --> 01:32:12,555
Anyway, would you please
come upstairs?

1134
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:15,266
You'd make everybody happy.

1135
01:32:15,391 --> 01:32:17,810
- Just for a little while?
- No.

1136
01:32:17,936 --> 01:32:20,480
It will never happen again.

1137
01:32:21,397 --> 01:32:24,692
Try to forget - I'm the one who mustn't.

1138
01:32:24,817 --> 01:32:28,737
We'll start all over from the beginning.
Will you come?

1139
01:32:29,488 --> 01:32:31,949
No, I'm... I'm working.

1140
01:32:37,996 --> 01:32:41,667
If you wish, you may all come here
to dinner tomorrow night.

1141
01:32:41,792 --> 01:32:43,919
- Really?
- Half past eight.

1142
01:32:44,044 --> 01:32:45,170
Oh!

1143
01:32:59,059 --> 01:33:02,354
- Is this wine from your country estate?
- Mm-hm.

1144
01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:06,024
- Where is it, exactly?
- Toscana, near Arezzo.

1145
01:33:10,571 --> 01:33:11,780
Good.

1146
01:33:14,949 --> 01:33:16,325
Hang on, Professor.

1147
01:33:16,450 --> 01:33:19,537
Dinner's almost over.
You'll be rid of us in a minute.

1148
01:33:25,376 --> 01:33:27,253
You're
so
gloom
y!

1149
01:33:27,378 --> 01:33:30,256
You didn't want to
have us here, did you?

1150
01:33:30,381 --> 01:33:33,384
- Lietta forced you into it!
- No, I did not!

1151
01:33:33,509 --> 01:33:35,303
No, it was my own idea.

1152
01:33:35,428 --> 01:33:37,471
Then why don't you
say something to us?

1153
01:33:37,597 --> 01:33:39,682
Oh, don't listen to him.

1154
01:33:39,807 --> 01:33:41,392
We're all sort of down.

1155
01:33:41,517 --> 01:33:45,271
Not our fault. There's a new tragedy here
every five minutes.

1156
01:33:45,396 --> 01:33:47,189
It's the same everywhere.

1157
01:33:47,315 --> 01:33:50,943
I hadn't been home for lunch
in along while, so I went today.

1158
01:33:51,068 --> 01:33:56,073
Big mistake! My father's workers
have been on strike for a week.

1159
01:33:57,366 --> 01:33:59,827
He and my brother are still not talking.

1160
01:33:59,952 --> 01:34:04,539
And Dad just sat there, silent,
at the head of the table.

1161
01:34:04,664 --> 01:34:06,541
Like you, Professor.

1162
01:34:07,542 --> 01:34:10,378
But you don't have any workers striking,

1163
01:34:10,503 --> 01:34:15,258
or a son...posing as a Marxist.

1164
01:34:15,383 --> 01:34:17,761
With the figures in your paintings,

1165
01:34:17,886 --> 01:34:21,264
you're surrounded by calm,
serene people,

1166
01:34:21,389 --> 01:34:23,683
without any problems.

1167
01:34:23,808 --> 01:34:27,771
- Do you like them all?
- Oh, I have my preferences.

1168
01:34:27,896 --> 01:34:29,939
And my infidelities.

1169
01:34:30,940 --> 01:34:33,360
For along while,
I favoured the Sitwell family.

1170
01:34:34,819 --> 01:34:37,280
I went so far as to bring them
into my bedroom,

1171
01:34:37,405 --> 01:34:40,408
but that relationship proved
to be incompatible.

1172
01:34:40,533 --> 01:34:44,329
I found myself quarrelling with the oldest
daughter, the tall one over there.

1173
01:34:44,454 --> 01:34:47,707
And who are you going to
quarrel with in this new family?

1174
01:34:47,832 --> 01:34:50,209
- What family? This one?
- Hm.

1175
01:34:50,334 --> 01:34:53,545
Soon, I'll be quarrelling with all of you.
In fact, I already have.

1176
01:34:53,671 --> 01:34:57,549
Uh-uh.
That's all over, because here we are.

1177
01:34:57,675 --> 01:35:01,553
Old people are strange animals,
my dear, didn't you know that?

1178
01:35:01,679 --> 01:35:04,348
Cross, intolerant,

1179
01:35:04,473 --> 01:35:08,018
with sudden fear of the solitude
they've made for themselves.

1180
01:35:08,143 --> 01:35:11,313
Which they then defend
as soon as they see threatened.

1181
01:35:11,438 --> 01:35:14,483
It was during
one such brief attack that I...

1182
01:35:15,651 --> 01:35:17,986
..that I invited you all
to come here this evening.

1183
01:35:19,071 --> 01:35:22,825
Huh. I would say that now
you've come back to your senses.

1184
01:35:22,950 --> 01:35:25,077
It's not right, though.

1185
01:35:26,370 --> 01:35:29,289
I think it's time for a change.

1186
01:35:29,415 --> 01:35:30,958
Uh-oh.

1187
01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:36,462
Look, Professor, your solitude is over.

1188
01:35:36,587 --> 01:35:42,218
We like it too much here, and we're
going to be around this table a lot!

1189
01:35:42,343 --> 01:35:46,431
She's already
formed a family, Professor!

1190
01:35:46,556 --> 01:35:49,475
Yes, I've already formed a family
and Mummy sits at the head...

1191
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:52,603
- At least I'm part of the family!
- Mummy!

1192
01:35:52,729 --> 01:35:55,982
- No, don't get up, please.
- Of course you're part of it.

1193
01:35:56,107 --> 01:35:59,360
- Thank you, darling.
- We've just decided to form it!

1194
01:35:59,485 --> 01:36:01,362
Father, Mother, children!

1195
01:36:02,405 --> 01:36:05,992
- You look sensational.
- A slightly incestuous family!

1196
01:36:06,117 --> 01:36:08,369
- If I may say so.
- Silly boy!

1197
01:36:09,579 --> 01:36:14,000
- Again, my apologies, Professor.
- Oh, it's nothing. Erminia...

1198
01:36:14,125 --> 01:36:18,254
I've already had my dinner, but I'll taste
a piece of that wonderful cake.

1199
01:36:18,379 --> 01:36:20,006
Yes, madam.

1200
01:36:21,466 --> 01:36:25,927
May I say, madam,
that we are delighted you could join us.

1201
01:36:30,557 --> 01:36:33,477
You were wise to take on a spare father.

1202
01:36:33,602 --> 01:36:36,480
- Since your real one's gone.
- Daddy?

1203
01:36:36,605 --> 01:36:39,900
Mm. I just drove him to the airport.

1204
01:36:41,359 --> 01:36:45,197
Airports, nowadays,
have become cemeteries.

1205
01:36:45,322 --> 01:36:47,365
What made you go
all the way out there?

1206
01:36:47,491 --> 01:36:50,243
I'm still wondering myself.

1207
01:36:50,368 --> 01:36:52,829
A nightmare evening!

1208
01:36:52,954 --> 01:36:56,792
I think your daddy
has gone just slightly mad.

1209
01:36:56,917 --> 01:36:58,960
He says the same about you.

1210
01:36:59,085 --> 01:37:02,088
My husband had invited a couple,
friends of his,

1211
01:37:02,214 --> 01:37:04,716
some people named Gasparri, to dinner.

1212
01:37:04,841 --> 01:37:07,928
Since he first had to talk with somebody
about an urgent matter,

1213
01:37:08,053 --> 01:37:10,972
he asked me to stay
and entertain his guests

1214
01:37:11,097 --> 01:37:13,098
while he dealt with his business.

1215
01:37:13,224 --> 01:37:17,561
I was just saying hello to them,
when my husband came in

1216
01:37:17,686 --> 01:37:21,565
and, like a wild man,
he said he had to go away at once.

1217
01:37:23,317 --> 01:37:27,822
What's more, I had to accompany him to
the airport because he had to talk to me.

1218
01:37:27,947 --> 01:37:31,826
Dad had to talk to YOU?
What about the Gasparris?

1219
01:37:33,035 --> 01:37:35,454
Simply aghast!

1220
01:37:35,579 --> 01:37:38,582
For a moment,
I even thought of sending them here.

1221
01:37:38,707 --> 01:37:40,251
Lovely idea!

1222
01:37:40,376 --> 01:37:42,920
- But where is Daddy, where'd he go?
- To Madrid.

1223
01:37:44,004 --> 01:37:47,341
He told the Gasparris that
the political situation is very serious

1224
01:37:47,466 --> 01:37:51,262
and that he had to go off, I don't know,
on some confidential business.

1225
01:37:51,387 --> 01:37:54,723
With Villaverde himself.
They seemed to believe him.

1226
01:37:54,849 --> 01:37:58,768
If you ask me,
your father only just realised

1227
01:37:58,893 --> 01:38:03,231
that the shooting season opens
at the Villaverdes tomorrow.

1228
01:38:03,356 --> 01:38:06,734
- He was there last year, too.
- Who did he speak to before dinner?

1229
01:38:06,860 --> 01:38:11,322
I don't know, dear.
A man I'd never seen before.

1230
01:38:12,699 --> 01:38:15,243
He said he was a man that...

1231
01:38:15,368 --> 01:38:19,873
that was from the...press office
of the senate.

1232
01:38:22,041 --> 01:38:25,336
Shall we have our coffee in the library?

1233
01:38:26,462 --> 01:38:29,173
But that's not the end of this crazy story.

1234
01:38:40,768 --> 01:38:43,938
Excuse me. Was the man
who spoke to your husband

1235
01:38:44,063 --> 01:38:45,815
Umberto Ghisberti, by any chance?

1236
01:38:45,940 --> 01:38:48,483
I don't know, I already told you.

1237
01:38:57,784 --> 01:39:00,203
Thank you. I'll serve.

1238
01:39:01,413 --> 01:39:02,664
Who would like some coffee?

1239
01:39:02,789 --> 01:39:04,917
Mummy never takes coffee
in the evening.

1240
01:39:05,042 --> 01:39:08,378
But tonight I will, just a little,
with a drop of cream.

1241
01:39:08,503 --> 01:39:10,589
- May I serve?
- Please.

1242
01:39:24,519 --> 01:39:26,021
- Mummy.
- That's good.

1243
01:39:26,146 --> 01:39:28,523
- Professor?
- Yes. Just black.

1244
01:39:32,152 --> 01:39:33,737
- Konrad?
- I'll help myself.

1245
01:39:33,862 --> 01:39:35,738
- Stefano?
- No, thanks.

1246
01:39:37,448 --> 01:39:42,036
Now that we are <i>en famille,</i>
I'll tell you the rest of my evening.

1247
01:39:44,205 --> 01:39:47,875
I'd listen carefully,
because it concerns you in particular.

1248
01:39:48,668 --> 01:39:53,464
After walking out on the Gasparris,
we dashed right off to the airport

1249
01:39:53,589 --> 01:39:56,342
and do you know
what my husband had to say to me?

1250
01:39:56,467 --> 01:39:59,470
He demands... That was the word.

1251
01:40:00,513 --> 01:40:04,558
He demands that I get rid of you at once
and never see you again.

1252
01:40:04,684 --> 01:40:07,311
Daddy said that?
When was Daddy...?

1253
01:40:07,436 --> 01:40:09,313
Precisely! Never!

1254
01:40:09,438 --> 01:40:13,818
And yet he seemed so upset that
at first, I didn't want to contradict him.

1255
01:40:13,943 --> 01:40:16,696
I've never seen him in such a state.

1256
01:40:16,821 --> 01:40:20,574
- Old flames never die. He's jealous.
- For heaven's sake!

1257
01:40:20,700 --> 01:40:25,120
He made it clear that he had
no objection to a replacement,

1258
01:40:25,245 --> 01:40:26,746
but Konrad, no.

1259
01:40:28,164 --> 01:40:30,750
You should have heard
the ridiculous things he said!

1260
01:40:30,875 --> 01:40:33,712
That if I don't get rid of you, he will.

1261
01:40:33,837 --> 01:40:36,840
Then I lost my temper and I said,

1262
01:40:36,965 --> 01:40:41,302
"If this is how things are,
I prefer to divorce."

1263
01:40:41,428 --> 01:40:44,723
- And that's what we'll do.
- To marry Konrad?

1264
01:40:44,848 --> 01:40:47,434
No!

1265
01:40:51,396 --> 01:40:55,025
For that matter,
Konrad's never proposed to me.

1266
01:40:56,026 --> 01:40:57,986
Isn't that so, darling?

1267
01:40:59,154 --> 01:41:01,865
- I am now.
- And I thank you.

1268
01:41:01,990 --> 01:41:04,034
But the answer is no.

1269
01:41:05,452 --> 01:41:07,412
People marry to form a family.

1270
01:41:07,537 --> 01:41:09,621
They divorce to dissolve it
and to be free.

1271
01:41:09,747 --> 01:41:13,500
- Free to marry again?
- No, free. Just free.

1272
01:41:13,625 --> 01:41:17,004
- That's not what you really mean.
- Of course it is.

1273
01:41:18,380 --> 01:41:21,633
- What's the matter with him?
- Tell them why you won't marry me.

1274
01:41:21,759 --> 01:41:24,595
- Cut it, you're a bore!
- Konrad!

1275
01:41:24,720 --> 01:41:28,807
- Shall I tell them?
- Don't bother, I can do it myself.

1276
01:41:30,392 --> 01:41:35,272
I'm not marrying you because
you're 12 years younger than I am.

1277
01:41:35,397 --> 01:41:38,233
And because you're not
the sort one marries.

1278
01:41:38,358 --> 01:41:40,486
"Not the sort"? Why not?

1279
01:41:43,113 --> 01:41:45,074
You're not the least amusing, you know.

1280
01:41:45,199 --> 01:41:47,576
I'm not trying to be. Answer me.

1281
01:41:47,701 --> 01:41:50,287
He's drunk. He drank all through dinner.

1282
01:41:50,412 --> 01:41:55,334
I'm not drunk, and I'm not trying
to persuade this woman to marry me.

1283
01:41:55,459 --> 01:41:57,418
It would be absurd!

1284
01:41:57,543 --> 01:42:02,924
I am what I am,
and I also know what you people are!

1285
01:42:03,049 --> 01:42:05,927
And I don't allow anyone to laugh at me.

1286
01:42:06,052 --> 01:42:07,929
No one is laughing at you.

1287
01:42:08,054 --> 01:42:10,264
I beg your pardon,
I'm not referring to you.

1288
01:42:10,389 --> 01:42:16,562
Now, darling, tell me why - according
to the rules of your respected society -

1289
01:42:17,605 --> 01:42:19,440
I am not the sort one marries.

1290
01:42:19,565 --> 01:42:21,484
Oh, enough of this bullshit!

1291
01:42:21,609 --> 01:42:24,278
What's wrong with you?
Has something happened?

1292
01:42:24,403 --> 01:42:27,281
Where I come from doesn't count.

1293
01:42:27,406 --> 01:42:29,784
It's where I've been that matters, right?

1294
01:42:29,909 --> 01:42:32,578
Kept boy, illegal dealings.

1295
01:42:33,788 --> 01:42:38,167
- That's what counts.
- Yes, darling. That counts.

1296
01:42:38,292 --> 01:42:41,003
It only counts against me
because I wasn't successful,

1297
01:42:41,129 --> 01:42:44,381
because I'm still the lapdog

1298
01:42:44,506 --> 01:42:47,968
that an important lady boldly took
into places where dogs aren't allowed!

1299
01:42:48,093 --> 01:42:52,222
And the others had to put up with
the lapdog when it stole from the kitchen,

1300
01:42:52,347 --> 01:42:53,890
wet the floor or bit people.

1301
01:42:54,015 --> 01:42:58,019
I can't listen to you say these things.
You know very well it's not true.

1302
01:42:58,145 --> 01:43:00,313
For God's sake,
you're encouraging him!

1303
01:43:00,438 --> 01:43:04,442
Haven't we heard enough of his lectures
on the corrupt capitalist society?

1304
01:43:04,568 --> 01:43:08,446
Is that where we are again?
That society doesn't even exist.

1305
01:43:08,572 --> 01:43:12,242
And if it did, be grateful.
You are one of the last to benefit from it.

1306
01:43:12,367 --> 01:43:14,494
But it does exist.

1307
01:43:15,495 --> 01:43:18,832
It does exist -
even more dangerously today than ever.

1308
01:43:18,957 --> 01:43:22,919
- Because it's camouflaged.
- Oh, no! Not you, Professor?

1309
01:43:23,044 --> 01:43:25,463
I'm no reactionary.
I thought you understood that.

1310
01:43:25,589 --> 01:43:28,216
No, I hadn't.
That's been camouflaged, too,

1311
01:43:28,341 --> 01:43:31,219
though I've yet to meet an intellectual
who doesn't say he's left-wing.

1312
01:43:31,344 --> 01:43:35,931
Luckily, apart from rare exceptions,
it never shows up in their lives or work.

1313
01:43:37,641 --> 01:43:40,269
The intellectuals of my generation

1314
01:43:40,394 --> 01:43:43,939
tried to find a balance
between politics and morality.

1315
01:43:45,107 --> 01:43:48,235
- They searched for the impossible.
- The search sure keeps them busy!

1316
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:52,406
They're very lucky, but his soul isn't
tortured politically, let alone morally,

1317
01:43:52,531 --> 01:43:55,117
so how can he justify
his hatred for a society

1318
01:43:55,242 --> 01:43:56,702
that lets him live like a gentleman,

1319
01:43:56,827 --> 01:43:58,829
even if he came in
through the service entrance?

1320
01:43:58,954 --> 01:44:03,334
Right, with a frayed shirt and
a corduroy jacket which I couldn't button

1321
01:44:03,459 --> 01:44:05,419
because I'd outgrown it.

1322
01:44:08,464 --> 01:44:12,676
The first time I went into
one of those marvellous houses,

1323
01:44:12,801 --> 01:44:15,554
and in the bed of the lady of the house...

1324
01:44:17,806 --> 01:44:21,267
..she wasn't beautiful like you,
but she seemed stupendous to me.

1325
01:44:22,227 --> 01:44:25,021
I had a lump in my throat
and tears in my eyes.

1326
01:44:26,231 --> 01:44:29,275
I was really in love when I held her.

1327
01:44:33,571 --> 01:44:35,740
It was what I wanted

1328
01:44:35,865 --> 01:44:38,159
and I did everything I could to stay there.

1329
01:44:38,284 --> 01:44:42,330
My methods,
which you are so ashamed of,

1330
01:44:42,455 --> 01:44:44,249
I learned there.

1331
01:44:44,374 --> 01:44:46,751
They are the same methods
your world uses.

1332
01:44:47,919 --> 01:44:50,922
Just the names are different
because the stakes are so much higher.

1333
01:44:52,382 --> 01:44:55,885
They're beautiful names
which you pronounce with great respect,

1334
01:44:56,010 --> 01:44:58,263
instead of puking them out.

1335
01:44:59,389 --> 01:45:03,726
You think you move among gentlemen,
not knowing that they're murderers!

1336
01:45:05,561 --> 01:45:08,689
If I told you that your husband has run off

1337
01:45:08,814 --> 01:45:13,193
because they discovered that members
of his crew were about to assassinate

1338
01:45:13,318 --> 01:45:16,822
a dozen top communists
and other members of the government,

1339
01:45:16,947 --> 01:45:20,867
enough to take it over,
you would be amazed!

1340
01:45:20,993 --> 01:45:23,203
I wouldn't be amazed.

1341
01:45:23,328 --> 01:45:25,539
I'd say you're raving mad!

1342
01:45:29,293 --> 01:45:32,796
My husband is an industrialist,
right-wing, naturally -

1343
01:45:32,921 --> 01:45:35,882
but where are the left-wing industrialists?

1344
01:45:37,050 --> 01:45:39,303
Some of them may SAY they are.

1345
01:45:41,054 --> 01:45:45,642
My husband is to the right
and says so openly. Good for him.

1346
01:45:46,727 --> 01:45:50,605
But from that,
to say he deals in organised crime!

1347
01:45:50,731 --> 01:45:53,191
In fact, he does!

1348
01:45:53,317 --> 01:45:56,360
Ask Stefano.
He knows something about it.

1349
01:45:58,779 --> 01:46:02,491
- You're crazy!
- The lady's little lapdog

1350
01:46:02,616 --> 01:46:05,119
has a sharp scent.

1351
01:46:05,244 --> 01:46:08,581
Oh, I see. You also do that, huh?

1352
01:46:09,790 --> 01:46:12,626
Protection for what you call
your small-time activities?

1353
01:46:12,752 --> 01:46:14,628
When they pound on the door,

1354
01:46:14,754 --> 01:46:17,256
everybody's running to flush
the coke down the can.

1355
01:46:17,381 --> 01:46:19,508
But not you. You're cool.

1356
01:46:19,633 --> 01:46:23,888
They stopped you at the border but
the next day they let you go. Protection!

1357
01:46:24,013 --> 01:46:26,515
- For being an informer and a slanderer!
- Enough!

1358
01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:31,771
No, it's not slander. I HAVE informed
on them and I'm glad I did it.

1359
01:46:31,896 --> 01:46:34,732
Professor, will you permit that
in your own house?

1360
01:46:34,857 --> 01:46:37,610
You fucking son-of—a...

1361
01:46:38,903 --> 01:46:40,654
- Get the hell out.
- Don't!

1362
01:46:45,158 --> 01:46:50,080
Stop! I will not permit this!
Not you and not you!

1363
01:46:50,205 --> 01:46:53,958
Not even the damned in hell
accuse each other the way you two do.

1364
01:46:54,084 --> 01:46:57,629
Just a minute. Konrad has volunteered
his side of the story.

1365
01:46:57,754 --> 01:46:59,798
Allow me to fill out the picture.

1366
01:46:59,923 --> 01:47:01,633
As a matter of fact, Professor,

1367
01:47:01,758 --> 01:47:05,178
you have had every opportunity
to see the world he lives in,

1368
01:47:05,303 --> 01:47:10,100
all those small-time operators who
for a bit of stuff split his lip upstairs.

1369
01:47:10,225 --> 01:47:12,435
Those are his people.
That's what he knows.

1370
01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:14,896
- That's the world he should talk about!
- Answer him!

1371
01:47:16,564 --> 01:47:18,233
- Who are you?
- Bastard!

1372
01:47:18,358 --> 01:47:19,859
Stop, both of you.

1373
01:47:22,404 --> 01:47:26,533
You tear at each other like wild animals.
I thought you loved each other.

1374
01:47:26,658 --> 01:47:29,327
That you are friends,
real friends, inseparable.

1375
01:47:29,452 --> 01:47:31,912
Love each other? Friends?

1376
01:47:32,037 --> 01:47:34,289
Oh ho! Sure.

1377
01:47:34,415 --> 01:47:39,253
We're together all the time. We eat,
we talk, we laugh and fuck together.

1378
01:47:40,421 --> 01:47:43,298
But when the fun is over,
where are your friends then?

1379
01:47:43,424 --> 01:47:46,301
- Each one goes his own way.
- Yes.

1380
01:47:46,427 --> 01:47:48,554
Each one goes his own way.

1381
01:47:48,679 --> 01:47:51,140
People like you
always land on their feet.

1382
01:47:52,599 --> 01:47:54,309
Fine.

1383
01:47:54,435 --> 01:47:57,938
Seeing that you all agree, I'll clear out.
That should make you happy.

1384
01:47:59,106 --> 01:48:01,733
That's what you want, Professor, isn't it?

1385
01:48:04,486 --> 01:48:06,447
You said some very offensive things.

1386
01:48:08,490 --> 01:48:11,368
Which I won't take back,
nor apologise for.

1387
01:48:12,870 --> 01:48:16,498
Thanks for the dinner, Professor,
but take my advice,

1388
01:48:16,623 --> 01:48:20,001
keep out of the mess,
as you always have,

1389
01:48:20,126 --> 01:48:24,255
and stick to your charming dead friends

1390
01:48:24,380 --> 01:48:28,050
who can't be hurt by the violence
of those fascist clowns.

1391
01:48:36,517 --> 01:48:40,771
- I hope you'll suffer.
- I hope I'll get over it quickly.

1392
01:48:42,398 --> 01:48:44,400
You always land on your feet, too.

1393
01:48:45,526 --> 01:48:49,030
It's hard at my age, darling,
but I'll do my best.

1394
01:48:53,493 --> 01:48:56,871
Where are you going?
I'll go with you.

1395
01:48:57,705 --> 01:48:59,207
No.

1396
01:49:14,763 --> 01:49:17,682
I always thought I was helping him.

1397
01:49:17,807 --> 01:49:21,937
Nice clothes, travelling -
that's part of life too, isn't it?

1398
01:49:23,813 --> 01:49:26,191
And even if I did it wrong,

1399
01:49:26,316 --> 01:49:28,527
I was still doing something for him.

1400
01:49:30,111 --> 01:49:31,988
Because I love him.

1401
01:49:33,990 --> 01:49:36,368
- What...?
- Leave me alone!

1402
01:49:44,376 --> 01:49:47,546
You offended him. All right, OK.

1403
01:49:50,507 --> 01:49:54,760
And you fired him as if he were
a servant, someone you caught stealing!

1404
01:49:56,053 --> 01:49:58,597
Even that was to be expected.

1405
01:49:59,598 --> 01:50:01,684
But you, Professor?

1406
01:50:02,685 --> 01:50:05,646
You had no right
to turn your back on him.

1407
01:50:05,771 --> 01:50:07,856
No. No right.

1408
01:50:10,109 --> 01:50:12,403
No, not you.

1409
01:50:12,528 --> 01:50:14,488
Not you, not you.

1410
01:50:17,825 --> 01:50:21,245
Oh, come on!
Let's not have any unnecessary guilt.

1411
01:50:21,370 --> 01:50:25,291
If you want to,
I'll go look for him right now

1412
01:50:25,416 --> 01:50:27,751
and invoke his forgiveness.

1413
01:50:35,342 --> 01:50:37,928
I hope Konrad will not forgive anybody.

1414
01:50:39,555 --> 01:50:41,055
Me, least of all.

1415
01:50:48,855 --> 01:50:51,858
The day a certain Madame Brumonti
came to see me

1416
01:50:51,983 --> 01:50:55,945
to ask about renting
the apartment upstairs, I refused.

1417
01:50:58,448 --> 01:51:01,993
Because I was afraid of having people
around me that I didn't know.

1418
01:51:03,911 --> 01:51:06,164
People who might disturb me.

1419
01:51:07,457 --> 01:51:11,461
Everything has turned out
far worse than I'd ever imagined.

1420
01:51:14,422 --> 01:51:17,717
If ever a landlord had difficult tenants,

1421
01:51:17,842 --> 01:51:19,636
I believe I had.

1422
01:51:21,387 --> 01:51:25,808
And yet, I found myself thinking,
as Lietta once said...

1423
01:51:27,976 --> 01:51:29,978
.."They could really
have been MY family."

1424
01:51:32,981 --> 01:51:36,693
A family that turned out well or badly,

1425
01:51:36,818 --> 01:51:39,404
absolutely different from me,

1426
01:51:39,529 --> 01:51:42,282
and since I love this wretched family,

1427
01:51:42,407 --> 01:51:44,618
I want to do what I can for it,

1428
01:51:44,743 --> 01:51:47,496
as it, unawares,
has done something for me.

1429
01:51:49,122 --> 01:51:52,668
There's a writer whose books
I keep on a table by my bed

1430
01:51:52,793 --> 01:51:55,003
and read from time to time.

1431
01:51:56,588 --> 01:52:01,468
He tells about a tenant who moves
stealthily into the apartment above him.

1432
01:52:03,553 --> 01:52:07,849
The writer hears the tenant
moving about, stirring,

1433
01:52:07,974 --> 01:52:10,060
walking.

1434
01:52:10,185 --> 01:52:15,481
Then, suddenly, he seems to vanish
and for a long time he isn't heard again.

1435
01:52:16,857 --> 01:52:18,943
But he comes back.

1436
01:52:20,403 --> 01:52:23,572
Gradually, his absence
becomes more rare,

1437
01:52:23,698 --> 01:52:25,991
his presence more constant.

1438
01:52:29,036 --> 01:52:30,705
He is Death.

1439
01:52:37,837 --> 01:52:42,299
The awareness that he has reached
the end of his life,

1440
01:52:42,425 --> 01:52:44,510
announced to him

1441
01:52:44,635 --> 01:52:48,389
in one of Death's
many deceitful disguises.

1442
01:52:51,559 --> 01:52:54,603
Your presence above me

1443
01:52:54,729 --> 01:52:57,314
has meant just the opposite to me.

1444
01:52:58,566 --> 01:53:01,068
And I don't believe I've been deceived.

1445
01:53:02,737 --> 01:53:05,864
You've awakened me from a sleep...

1446
01:53:07,532 --> 01:53:10,493
..as profound,

1447
01:53:10,618 --> 01:53:13,663
as insensitive

1448
01:53:13,788 --> 01:53:16,666
and as deaf

1449
01:53:16,791 --> 01:53:18,752
as Death itself.

1450
01:53:25,175 --> 01:53:28,178
Professor, they just brought this letter.

1451
01:53:41,316 --> 01:53:42,734
- Erminia.
- What's the matter?

1452
01:53:42,859 --> 01:53:45,570
Run upstairs and see
if Mr Huebel is there. Go, go, go!

1453
01:53:45,695 --> 01:53:47,238
Yes.

1454
01:53:54,036 --> 01:53:55,788
"Dear Professor,

1455
01:53:55,913 --> 01:53:59,666
"I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think
we'll ever see each other again.

1456
01:53:59,792 --> 01:54:02,044
"Your son, Konrad."

1457
01:54:31,365 --> 01:54:34,451
- Oh! Oh, God!
- Best to not touch him.

1458
01:54:35,744 --> 01:54:37,704
Wait for the police.

1459
01:55:05,731 --> 01:55:07,441
Oh.

1460
01:55:26,293 --> 01:55:28,461
Try to breathe normally.

1461
01:55:33,341 --> 01:55:34,801
That's better.

1462
01:55:38,346 --> 01:55:40,348
I'll be finished in a few minutes.

1463
01:55:55,363 --> 01:55:57,198
Professor.

1464
01:55:57,324 --> 01:55:58,909
Professor.

1465
01:56:00,368 --> 01:56:02,287
You have visitors.

1466
01:56:18,385 --> 01:56:21,221
I've given the keys to Erminia.

1467
01:56:21,347 --> 01:56:23,557
My lawyer will be talking with yours

1468
01:56:23,682 --> 01:56:27,061
to see if you can recover some
of the expense you went to upstairs.

1469
01:56:28,520 --> 01:56:34,401
And they'll handle everything
for the police investigation. I wish...

1470
01:56:38,155 --> 01:56:41,283
I really wish
I could also have some doubts.

1471
01:56:43,869 --> 01:56:45,663
Unfortunately...

1472
01:56:49,333 --> 01:56:52,711
..Konrad killing himself was his way
of having the last word.

1473
01:56:54,713 --> 01:57:00,010
It was his cruel, senseless way
of punishing us for ever.

1474
01:57:01,386 --> 01:57:05,223
But there is one thing Konrad
didn't have time to learn.

1475
01:57:07,016 --> 01:57:09,310
That we'll forget him.

1476
01:57:10,395 --> 01:57:12,021
We will forget.

1477
01:57:17,902 --> 01:57:22,949
He was too young to have learned
this final, nasty fact.

1478
01:57:27,620 --> 01:57:31,499
Grief is as precarious
as everything else.

1479
01:57:53,770 --> 01:57:55,856
Good bye, Professor.

1480
01:57:57,983 --> 01:58:00,318
But don't believe her.

1481
01:58:01,570 --> 01:58:04,197
He did not kill himself.

1482
01:58:04,322 --> 01:58:06,241
They murdered him.

1483
01:58:07,409 --> 01:58:10,454
You were the only one
to have a little faith in him.

1484
01:58:12,372 --> 01:58:15,042
Don't deny him that, now that he's dead.
