All language subtitles for Love . Money 1981

I need a tailor,
darling.

You're losing weight.
Eat your Cream of Wheat.

I'm shrinking. Only my feet
are getting bigger.

Good morning.
Morning.

Do it while you're young.

Do what?

Whatever you're doing.

Do it when you can.

By the way, ah...

remind me to
buy you a new car.

And I think you should have
a Packard.

Packards haven't been made
for 30 years, Gramp.

Oh? I guess you're out
of luck then.

There's a new shipment coming
into the store today.

Lots of pre-war British
poetry.

Great.

Oh, you're not interested.
Sure I am.

Pre which war?
First.

Somebody help me up
or I'll be late for work.

You don't go to work, Gramp.
You're retired.

That is a rumor they started
to try to force me out.

By the way,
remember one thing:

If it's worth doing
it's worth overdoing.

Umm, that's
why we're always broke.

Don't worry about it.
I'm on the verge.

Of what?

Ah...

that's a good question.

I need a tailor.
I'm shrinking.

VICKY:
I'll take them in.

You will?
Yeah.

Good.

["I DON'T WANT
TO HEAR IT ANYMORE"
BY DUSTY SPRINGFIELD PLAYS]

* In my neighborhood

* We don't live so good

* The rooms are small

* And the building's
Made of wood *

* I hear
The neighbors talking *

* About you and me

* I guess I heard it all

* 'Cause the talk is loud

* And the walls

* Are much too thin

* He don't really love her

* That's what
I heard them say *

* He sure
Wasn't thinking of her *

* The other day

* Oh, no, no, no

* I saw him in the front yard

* Said the boy in room 149

* He was talking to a girl

When do you expect him?
Blair.

* Standing there together

* I don't want to hear it
Anymore *

CHORUS:
* I don't want to hear it
Anymore *

* I don't want to hear it

Hi.

Mr. Kenmore called.

Fred Breck from Citibank
and a Mr. Blair just called

for Frederick Stockheinz
of Trans Allied Silver.

What's his number?
He said he'd call back.

Where is my...

Where is...

I can't believe it...

Wise guy.

Didn't you tell Doris
you'd have Zeroxes

of those credit forms
on her desk

by three p.m.
last Friday?

I meant...
Yes or no?

Yeah, I...
You just what? You just forgot?

No, there was a meeting--

That's the second time
this month.

Why don't you use that tone
of voice on an uncle?

I don't have an uncle.

Well then, why don't you
use it on Hayes

or somebody whose
in a position to fire you?

Don't use it on her.

[PHONE RINGS]

Excuse me.

Mr. Levin's office.

BLAIR: Is Byron Levin in?
It's Blair.

Hello?
Levin?

Yeah. Byron Levin, here.

Frederick Stockheinz
wants to see you.

What for?
I'm parked

in front of your bank
in a black Seville.

Get in.

I have a car.

He wants me to take you.

You work for him.
I don't. Where is he?

The Bonaventure Hotel.

How will I know who he is?

You'll know.

WOMAN [ON PHONE]:
What do you want me to do?

I'll try money first,
but if it doesn't work,

I want you to get
in the hotel.

Mr. Stockheinz?

Go back to the door
and you stay over there.

Sit down.

WOMAN 2:
Yes, Mr. Stockheinz?

Ring my suite.

[PHONE RINGS]

People don't like bankers.
Have you ever noticed that?

I don't think of myself
as a banker.

I made my offer.

I don't like bankers,
myself.

I don't trust them.

WAITER:
Yes, sir, Mr. Stockheinz?

Bring Mr. Levin white wine
and a lobster salad.

WAITER:
Right away.

I'm not hungry.

STOCKHEINZ:
You will be.

Why did you ask me here?

What do you know
about Trans Allied Silver?

That you run it.

I don't run it,
I own it.

What about what you wrote

in Galbraith's Economics

Seminar at Harvard?

"With the multinational
corporations,

patriotism has become

loyalty not
to the mother country,

but to the mother company:

government in the service
of business.

A vivid case in point
is Trans Allied Silver.

Stockheinz and his
billion-dollar corporation

have complete control

of the economy and political
life of Costa Salva."

Yes?
Try my suite again.

Allied Silver
is not a corporation.

It's a civilization.

I'm sorry, Mr...
Is that what you call

wanting to control the world?
Civilization?

Keep trying.
That's what you are paid for.

Look. I don't have
the time to, ah--

To make a million dollars
in one weekend?

Cash. No taxes.

Your former roommate.

This will be out tomorrow.

You'd be doing him

a big favor if you change
his mind.

About what?

Yes?
MAN: She was here sir,

but she's gone.

Where is she now?

She's waiting for him
in front of the hotel.

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

I love Lorenzo.

You know. I bought him his
first horse when he was six?

And a Maserati
when he was 14?

But he must
not abuse my love.

He must not steal my silver.

Nationalize.

That's what it is, stealing.

The silver's there,
in Costa Salva.

It's his land.
Why his?

We're not in 1949.

The nation-state's...

are dead.

The future's with money,

not with governments.
They have no power now.

They are owned.

In ten years,
multinationals

will own 65 percent
of the world.

How old are you, 28?

30.
Too old to be a lackey

in a bank filled
with other people's money.

You were hungry,
after all.

I'm not going to do anything
against Lorenzo.

When you change your mind,
call me.

Thank you.

VALET:
Good afternoon,
Mrs. Stockheinz

[**]

I'm Byron Levin I just had
lunch with your husband.

White wine
and lobster salad?

Uh-huh.

I hope you enjoyed it.

You're rotting your soul,
do you know that?

Excuse me, I'm late.

If you ever touch him again,

or any other man,

I'll kill you.

[**]

I got
six great books today.

That's terrific.

And not Just the, ah...

pre-war British.
I got a signed first edition

of Lowell's Imitations.

That's great.

And how was your day?

Same.

Who are you?

Byron, your grandson.

Oh, hello, darling.

And how are your head,
your back,

your hips
and your spirits?

I could use some spirits.

You didn't ask
about my love life.

That's because you've been out
of action for awhile, Gramp.

Is that the truth?

Who is she?

That's Vicky.

The face is gorgeous.
And there's no beard on it.

Why don't you marry her?

Oh, Byron's not ready
to get married. He's only 30.

I thought you didn't want
to get married.

I don't. I want to wait
another 40 or 50 years

until we get to know
each other.

Byron, do you mind
if I ask you a question?

Go right ahead.

What am I worth?
A lot.

You're smart,
you're generous--

I want a figure in dollars
and cents.

There you might come up
a little short.

I thought I was a millionaire.
You were.

Who stole it?
Nobody stole it.

We blew it.

Stocks, bonds...

bad timing.

Who's taking care
of me now?

You're taking care
of yourself, Gramp.

Don't kid me.
Who's paying the rent here?

I am.

I must be a terrible burden

to both of you.

You are the joy
of our lives.

And if you weren't here, I don't
think I would be, either.

What do you do with yourself,
darling?

I'm a book dealer.

Baseball, football?

Ha. No, that's a bookmaker.

I buy and sell books.

But is it profitable?
Sometimes.

Motherless cunt.

I will not have this kind
of talk in my house.

Hey... look it.
It's Lorenzo.

God, he great, doesn't he?

This in the United States
is the equivalent of, ah...

two dollars.

This is not an economy.

We need a hundred million
dollars to go for food,

housing, medicines, schools,
roads, land, hospitals...

you see.

But in answer to your question,

I am willing to talk
to the government

of the United States.
I am more than willing.

But you see, in the position
that I am in now,

I have to keep an open mind.

So, I'll talk to anyone.

Anyone?
Even Frederick Stockheinz,

the Chairman of the Board
of Trans Allied Silver?

Mr. Stockheinz was a very
dear friend of my father's.

And he is always welcome
to Costa Salva,

as a tourist.

Mr. President, aren't you
afraid that some people will--

You see,
I am afraid of one thing,

is that I will let the people
of Costa Salva down.

But before I do this,
I will die.

Thank you, Mr. President.

That's easy for him to say.

He's only 14 years old.

A man without money

has no weight
in the world. None.

Boy, does he have it down.

VICKY: Jealous?
Maybe.

He's doing what he love,
I'm doing what I hate.

Frederick Stockheinz!

I had lunch with him today,
What?

He sent someone over
to the bank for me.

How could you even
talk to him?

Curiosity.

He wants me to work
on Lorenzo.

You told him
to go to hell?

He offered me
a million dollars.

Well, what did you say?

GRAMP:
This is the
Frederick Stockheinz

who died with the long
toe nails and fingernails?

That was Howard Hughes,
Gramp.

Stockheinz is still alive.

Stay away from him.

They're all the same.

What did you say?
I said, yes.

You did not.
That's right.

I did not.

I told him to go hell.

[PHONE RINGS]

GRAMP:
Byron, don't leave me.

I'm only gonna answer
the phone, Gramp.

Ask who's there.

Hello?
Make sure it's not an enemy.

Who's calling?

Bob.
Oh, I'll take it inside.

Who's Bob?

Oh, he's from the book store.

Byron, what... what, ah...
city are we in? In Paris?

Los Angeles.

Who's in Paris?
Ten million Parisians.

What a lot of Frenchmen.
Oh, my... my.

Eat your steak.

Spinach, I like better.

[**]

GRAMP:
Help. Help. Help.

Gramp?

Shh. They'll hear you.

Who?

All of them.

I am in mortal danger.

I'll protect you.

You're not taking me
seriously.

Have I ever told you before

that I was in mortal danger?

Yes.

When?

Last night,
the night before.

And the night before that.

Oh, when they've
taken me away

you'll be sorry
you laughed at me.

I'm not laughing at you.

You... you think

I don't know
what's happened to me?

Come on,
go to sleep, Gramp.

Oh, go on... get away from me...
get away. Get away.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

Hello?

CATHERINE:
This is Catherine Stockheinz.

Hi.

How often
do you say to women

what you said to me?

Never.

Do you want to see me?
When?

At Casey's in 15 minutes.

How, how uh...

* He don't really love her

* That's what
I heard them say *

* He sure
Wasn't thinking of her *

* The other day

Ah, a bloody Mary, please.

* Oh, no, no, no

* I saw him
In the front yard *

* Said the boy in room 149

* He was talking to a girl

* I've never seen before

* Standing there together

* I don't want to hear it
Anymore *

OPERATOR: Bonaventure Hotel.
Mrs. Stockheinz, please.

Room 3108.
I'll ring her for you.

CATHERINE: Hello?
What happened?

Hello. Hello.

* Heartache soon begins

* The talk is so loud

* And the walls
Are much too thin *

OPERATOR: Bonaventure Hotel.
Ah, yes, operator,

I was talking to room 3108
and we were dis...

ah, I don't know...
cut off. Ah...

You weren't cut off.

The party hung up and there's
a do-not-disturb

on that line now.

* That when

* A nice girl
Falls in love *

* Ain't it just too bad

* That she had to fall

* For a boy

* Who doesn't care
For her at all *

* I don't want to hear it
Anymore *

CHORUS:
* I don't want to hear it
Anymore *

* I just can't stand
To hear it anymore *

* Anymore

* 'Cause the talk
Just never ends *

* And the heartache
Soon begins *

* The talk is so loud

* And the walls

* Are much too thin

Byron, are you all right?

Yeah.

Loan applications.

Yeah.

To all of them?

Unh. Yes.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[**]

I'm being decapitated.
Save me, darling.

Don't move
and everything'll be fine.

I have more hair on the left
side than I have on the right,

but you keep chopping away
at the right.

I'll finish the left
in a second.

In my day,
barbers didn't argue.

They said,
"Yes, sir, Mr. Klein,"

and
"No, Sir, Mr. Klein."

Tell me something, darling,
who is Ruth?

Your daughter,
my mother.

Slowly now,
I don't want to miss this.

My daughter is your mother?

That's right.

My darling daughter.

Oh, my darling daughter.

Do me a favor?

Give mother a call.

I have a terrible feeling
something has happened to her.

She's dead, Gramp.
Who's dead?

Mom. Ruth.
Oh, no.

Your daughter.
Oh, no, no.

Don't do that, Gramp.

When did it happen?

26 years ago.

Why wasn't I told?

You were.

What about my mother?

She's been dead
a long time.

They're all dead.
No one's left.

I'm left.

Who are you?
Byron, your grandson.

Don't leave me.
Don't ever leave me.

I'll never leave you.

Who else is left?

You're left.

Who am I?

Walter Klein.
Shh.

Not so loud.
They'll hear you.

I'm next on the list.

There is no list.

That's easy
for you to say.

Would you take my place?

Anytime.

Are you writing this down?

Oh, Byron's word's
good.

I wouldn't trust him
if he were my sister.

A woman as beautiful
as you

can get away
with anything.

Oh, I look horrible.

You look gorgeous,
like a Biblical beauty:

Delilah or Bathsheba
or Marion Davies.

* Oh, swing low
Sweet chariot *

* Comin' for
To carry me home *

* Swing low
Sweet chariot *

* Comin' for
To carry me home *

Why did he stop?

Why did who stop?

The fellow who was singing?

That was you.

Ha? Was I good?

You were excellent.

Call the Metropolitan Opera.

I'll call
the Metropolitan Opera.

What do you want me
to tell them, Mr. Klein?

Who?
The Metropolitan.

Let them wait.

They need me.
I don't need them.

[PHONE RINGS]

There they are.

[PHONE RINGS]

STOCKHEINZ:
Hello?

Hello?
Tell them to speak

to my attorney.

[HUNG UP]

Who was it?

Nobody.

[EXHALES]

Ah, I'm gonna go
for a drive.

Where?

I don't know.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[HORN HONKS]

CATHERINE: Who is it?
Byron Levin.

[LOCK OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Let's go.

Who do you think you are?

Snif. Come on.
C-Come on.

You're kidnapping me.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

But you're not going
to make love to me.

I'll never touch you again.

Until you ask me to.

You must think
I'm as insane as you are.

Answer me.
What's the question?

What is so special about me

that you do all these things

that I could have you
arrested for.

Your eyes, your smile.

I didn't smile at you.

Okay, I guess
it was your eyes, then.

You must be very lonely.

No.

It's just that
when I saw you, I knew.

Knew what?

That God put his elbow
in my ribs.

I want to get out.
Go ahead.

What are you doin'? Wait.
What are you tryin' to kill us?

What's the matter with you.
Close the door.

I thought you were going
to kill me, anyway.

I said, if you ever made love
to your husband...

I did.

[SNIFS]

Come on.

Come on.

Why?

Because we're gonna fall
in love

and last together.

I couldn't hear
what you said.

I said that we're...

Get in and I'll repeat it.

[**]

[**]

CATHERINE:
How did you know
I wouldn't call the police?

BYRON:
I didn't.

BYRON:
I've been waiting for years

for something to come along.

Something, someone
who'd change my life.

CATHERINE:
Do you live alone?

I live
with my grandfather...

and a girl.

Do you love her?

We get along.

[SEAGULLS CAWING]

When did you
meet Stockheinz?

At a dinner party
in London.

Who's party?

The Moroccan Ambassador's.

Another penniless
boyfriend?

He wasn't my boyfriend.

I was with someone else.

But you left
with Stockheinz?

He took me home.

And?

We said goodnight.

And?

He called me
the next morning

unh, and asked me out
for dinner.

And you said yes?

I said, I didn't think we
should see each other anymore.

He apologized for having
bothered me and said goodbye.

The next day he called you.

Unh, I called him.

And said what?

That you wanted
to meet him at Casey's?

Fooking.

And he came?
And you didn't?

And he waited--
We both came.

And then we went
back to his hotel

and three days later

he called me from Buenos Aires
and proposed.

I wanted to meet you
last night,

but I couldn't.

You're full of shit.

[EXHALES]

[BELL TOLLING]
[SEAGULL CAWING]

[**]

[EXHALES]

I can't believe it.

I can't get a hard-on.

[EXHALES]

All the way,
in the car, in the bank,

five minutes ago, outside,
I had a hard-on.

I coulda hung a towel
on it. Unh.

Now,

every time... every time
in my life, something...

something goes right,

it always seems to go wrong.

Just relax. It will come.
No, no, no.

It'll come.
You don't understand.

Ohh,

you know, ah...

You know
the National Anthem?

What?

The Star Spangled Banner?

I know the words.

Yeah.
I cannot sing.

Then recite it for me.

Come on.

Oh, say can you see

By the dawn's early light

What so proudly we hailed

At the twilight's
Last gleaming.

* Whose broad stripes
And bright stars *

* Through the perilous fight

* For the ramparts we watch

* Were so gallantly streaming

* And the rockets
Red glare... *

What are you doing?

I'm looking at it.

What does it look like?

Beautiful.

Is it different?
Un-huh.

How?

It's yours.

[**]

BYRON:
Who was there
before Stockheinz?

CAHTERINE: There were a few.
Who was the first?

An Italian.
Mussolini?

Renzo Caldone.

He owned
a construction company.

Who else was there?

A Spaniard.

Who owns half of Madrid?

A few acres.

No rich industrialist
from Rio?

Why are you asking me
all this?

To hurt me...

or to excite yourself?

No. Both.

CATHERINE:
What made you go
into banking?

Boredom, stupidity,

failure.

I tried a lot of things.

Teaching, driving a cab,

writing.
What kind of writing?

Comedy.

I used to write
some skits and...

short plays.

I had a very good ear
for, ah... voices.

Used to do impressions.

Who?

Anybody.

Do Burt Lancaster.

[LAUGHS]

[IMITATES LANCASTER]
Catherine,

I want you to take
your middle finger,

I want you to shove it
right up life's ass.

[POPS]
[CATHERINE CHUCKLES]

[LAUGHS LIKE LANCASTER]

Who else?

Ah,

let's see. Who's this?

[IMITATES STOCKHEINZ]
Sit down. Sit down.
Hmm.

Trans Allied Silver
is not a Corporation.

It is a civilization. Umm,
I love Lorenzo.

Oh, but he must
not abuse my love.

I bought him his first
Maserati when he was two.

And his first spaceship
when he was three.

[GRUNTS]

Oh, but he must not
steal my silver.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Who else can you do?

Ah...

[IMITATES CATHERINE]
Frederick, darling.

I love you,

but I can't wait
for you to drop dead,

because you're
so much older than I am

and you're so much richer.

And when you die,
I will inherit all your money,

and go to Europe with Ulf,

and travel to Sweden,

'Cause it's so beautiful.

You understand nothing.

About what?

Frederick, me, anything.

[PANTING]
Tell me you'll never leave me.

Tell me you will never
leave me.

Tell me.

I won't.

You won't what?
You won't what?

You won't what?
You won't what?

You won't what?

Tell me. Tell me.

I love you.

[SOBING]

[WHISPERING]
I love you.

Give that to me.

Who's that?
Lorenzo Caldoni?

[CLEARS THROAT]

Is it your father?

Where is he now?
Dead.

Why don't you die, too?

Kill me if I ever
touch another man.

Last until we die.
You're full of shit.

[SPEAKS ITALIAN]

You couldn't even keep yourself
from sniffing after

that girl
in front of the hotel.

What girl?
Like a dog.

I was clearing my sinuses.

You were the one
who was looking

at that repulsive
grease ball John.

I never look at strangers.

What about me?

I thought
you were different.

Where are you going?

Anywhere away from you.

Don't say that.

We're going to be everything
to each other.

What?

I'm you're father,
you're my mother.

I'm your-husband,
you're my wife.

I'm your chauffer,
you're my car.

[CHUCKLES]

Hey...

[**]

CATHERINE:
When I was 12,

I came home
from school one day...

My mother
and my sister were away,

but it was strange

because every other day my
father had been at the door

to kiss me

and smile at me

and ask me everything
that happened.

I called out for him,

but there was no answer.

I looked in the living room,

in the kitchen,

in the library.

I went upstairs

and knocked on the door
of his bedroom,

there was still no answer.

I tried to open it

but it was locked.

I ran downstairs again,

got the key,

ran back upstairs

and opened the door.

He was hanging...

naked,

from the rafters.

His penis was sticking out

and his feet were blue.

[WHISPERING]
I'm not going to let you down.

Catherine!

OPERATOR:
Bonaventure Hotel.

Stockheinz, 3108.

STOCKHEINZ:
Yes?

Who is this?

Hankland wants to see you.

Tell him I'll see him later.

He's here to see you.

I have some bad news
for you, Byron.

You're fired.

[WHISPERING]
What's the matter?

[WHISPERING]
That's a strange question to
ask after your little vacation,

don't you think?

I got fired.
What?

When?

Just now.
Why?

Stockheinz.

Jesus. Does it control
the world?

Part of it.

I'm glad.

My life stopped
when I took that job.

So did mine.

[**]

OPERATOR:
Bonaventure Hotel.

Stockheinz, 3108.

STOCKHEINZ:
Yes?

This is Byron Levin.

Is it too late
to reconsider?

Be in front of your house
in an hour.

What are you doing?

You're going to Costa Salva.

GRAMP:
Police! Police!

Officer,
take out your revolver.

We're surrounded.

It's Byron, Gramp.

There's nothing
to be afraid of.

I knew we shouldn't
have moved to Paris.

Los Angeles was bad enough.

We're not in Paris,
Gramp.

[SOBING]
You broke the binding.

You don't give a damn,
do you?

I'm sorry.
I'll pay you for it.

Oh, with what?
Stockheinz's money?

Don't leave me, Byron.

I have to, Gramp.
I'll be back in a few days.

I-I promise you.

Did you hear that?
He promised you.

What more could
you want?

Don't use him.
I hate you.

It's all over,
isn't it?

No, it's Just...

Go ahead, abandon me.
I don't need you.

Glad to have you on the team.

Don't you ever confuse me
with you.

Yes.

Just do it.

Ride in the cockpit.
You, too, Luis.

Yes, sir.

Ah, were you expecting
someone else?

No. No, no, no.
I just thought...

STOCKHEINZ:
Byron Levin, my wife.

How do you do?
A pleasure.

Let's go.

STOCKHEINZ:
It doesn't matter
what he says on television.

cannot survive without help.

Bring Mr. Levin champagne
and shrimp.

You're always
ordering for me

but you never eat
anything yourself.

Food is not important to me.

Look this over,
I want you to be prepared.

[WHISPERING] About what?
Us.

What is there to know?

Do you know what I'd like
to do to you right now?

Shh.

Right now.

Touch me?

Kiss me?

Make love to me?

I'd like to break your neck.

Counting my freckles?

[SIGHS]

Are you busy, baby?

Massage me.

[BOTH SPEAK ITALIAN]

[LAUGHS]

[CHATTERING]

I cabled Lorenzo to tell him
you were coming down.

Frederick, I must say,
you're a sight for sore eyes.

Oh, you look marvelous, dear.
Thank you.

It's a great honor, Sir.

[LAUGHING, CHATTERING]

SANZER:
We need you in Costa Salva
now more than ever.

How are you, Melanie?

Gee, you look great,
Mr. Stockheinz.

I don't know how you do it.

Clean living.
ALL: Ha, ha, ha.

How's your President?

He avoids us.
It's hard to believe

that he's his father's son.

[CHUCKLES]

That's a strange
costume you're wearing.

Well, that's a strange airline
you're flying,

unless you did it
for the stewardess.

Catherine.
Stockheinz.

Yes, I've heard stories
about how lovely you were

but this is unfair.
She should be a princess

or a queen.

You're embarrassing me.
You must hear this

all the time.

Not from the ruler
of a country.

Lorenzo.
Uncle Frederick.

Why are you wearing a beard?

So I can look
like Abraham Lincoln.

[LAUGHS]

So, you'll stay at the
Palace with me, huh?

Of course he would.
Good.

I'd love to invite
everyone here,

but my jeep seats
only two.

How uncomfortable does it
if there are three?

That all depends
on who the third person is.

Oh, go ahead.
I'll see you at the Embassy.

You stay at the airport, Luis.
Okay, Mr. Stockheinz.

BYRON:
What happened
to your Maserati?

A Jeep is democratic.

Has your husband come
to Costa Salva for a last look?

I think he has a bit more
on his mind.

A Suntan?

Frederick
doesn't like the sun,

he likes silver.

He's done quite well
for himself

with my country's silver.

I know that working
with you is

more important to him
than anything.

Not more important than you.

You're still trying
to make me blush.

Do you really blush
so easily?

I get angry easily.
So does Frederick.

[LAUGHS]

Byron, she's fantastic,
huh?

This is the kind of woman
we should marry, huh?

["MI PRIMER AMOR"

Will you come to the
Embassy for lunch?

Yes. It will be my pleasure.

Two o'clock.
Fine.

LORENZO:
You can't stop yourself
with her.

BYRON:
I don't know.

Do you want to?

No.

When I got Stockheinz'
telex,

I thought you were coming down
here for him.

Now you know I wasn't?

What did he want from you?

He wanted me to try to convince
you to go along with him,

the way your father did.

Bribes, kickbacks,
no nationalization.

How much did he offer you?

A million dollars.

[LAUGHING]

I'm sorry.

About what?

A million dollars
to convince me?

To kill me.

Stockheinz may be many things,
but he's no fool.

Anytime you want
to kill a man,

you go for his bodyguard
or his friend.

[LAUGHS]

You still have innocence,
Vido.

Of course,
maybe if you cared less about

this obsession with romance

and this ideal woman of yours,

you would see things
with a clearer eye.

[IMITATES LORENZO]
Señor Presidente,

such words of wisdom
are overwhelming.

A million dollars, huh?

I'm going to change
everything in Costa Salva.

Even the National Anthem.

I wrote a new one myself.
Do you want to hear it?

No.

[SINGS IN SPANISH]

What do you think?

A little short, isn't it?

I want it to be. I want a
society built on impatience.

I like the "Star
Spangled Banner" better.

I'll see you later then.

[GOAT BAA]

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

LORENZO: Hello?
Lorenzo, listen.

I think there
is something going on.

What is it?
I'm in the market place,

and Blair,
Stockheinz' guy,

is talking to someone who looks
like one of your people.

Oh, don't worry about this.

What do you mean,
don't worry?

You said it yourself,

you always go for a bodyguard
or a friend.

Stockheinz is paying someone
off to kill you.

[JEEP APPROACHING]

[MAN SPEAKS SPANISH]

You are all idiots. You have
messed up everything.

The mountains,
the city, the port.

They are completely
unprotected. Idiots.

[MAN SPEAKS SPANISH]

STOCKHEINZ:
I'm not interested
in your nonsense.

[MAN SPEAKS SPANISH]

[DOOR OPENS]

You're early.
Where is Lorenzo?

You came to Costa Salva
to do a Job for Frederick.

Have you done it?

Why are you doing this?

Don't you see?
See what?

That this is what
we were made for.

What were we made for?

Obsession...
ecstasy... love.

Who do you think you are?

Do you think, because
I let you make love to me,

that you have
some claim on me?

Let me?

You've nothing to do with me.
Nothing.

What are you doing here?

What have you done
with Lorenzo?

I haven't done anything
with Lorenzo.

PAULTZ:
I hope the President's
not too offended

when he sees we've
started without him.

He's 90 minutes late.

To the future of Costa Salva.
To the future of America.

I've had too much champagne,
Mr. Stockheinz.

Do you think I'll Jinx
the toast

if I drink coffee
instead?

Not if you drink it black.

MELANIE:
"Black as the Devil,
hot as hell.

Pure as an angel,
sweet as love."

That's what Talleyrand
said about coffee.

Talleyrand
was the greatest diplomat

in the history of the world.

Until Ambassador Paultz
came along.

Oh, I think I can accept
second place to Talleyrand.

SANZER:
I'd like to propose a toast

to the memory of our never
to be forgotten,

leader Francisco Prado.

May his life serve
as a model.

MELANIE:
For everybody or Just Lorenzo?

Can it, Melanie.

You know, in spite of all
the nonsense one hears

about Costa Salva's having
been a dictatorship,

the fact is that
Francisco Prado

held five
elections in 30 years.

I wonder how many other
countries can make that claim.

Of course, with the kind
of elections my father had,

who'd want to make
such a claim.

Sit, sit, sit.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

You look ravishing.

You know, we have a story
about that in Costa Salva.

A story of three of the most
remarkable men in the world.

The President of the
United States, The Pope,

and my father.

One night, they were all on a
shark-infested sea in this boat

but the boat
was built for one person.

They couldn't decide
who should be saved.

So the President
of the United States said:

"I am the leader of the
greatest nation on earth

and I'm the one
who should be saved."

And the Pope said:
"But I am the spiritual guide

of the greatest church
on Earth,

don't you think
I should be safe?"

And my father said:
"Democracy,

I am the hope of democracy
in all Latin America.

What we shall do is vote

to see who shall be saved."

So, three men voted

and my father won
by 12 votes.

[ALL LAUGHS]

What is so funny?

My father used
to laugh at it.

MELANIE:
My father would have laughed
too, Mr. President.

He was chairman of the
Republican party back home

and he used to buy elections
always.

Yes. It you wanted to vote
against my father,

you just wrote "no"
on the ballet,

but this was defacing
public property

and you got
20 years for it.

I resent that charge.

He was the greatest ruler
in Latin America.

It's too bad he had such
a slow learner for a son.

STOCKHEINZ:
It is, indeed.

Your father died
with one great fear,

that you would let him
down.

Did he say this to you in
Spanish or in English?

He said it with respect.

A respect of a dog
for his master.

Where did you pick up all this
feeling for the people?

On your yacht?

In Monte Carlo
with your Maserati?

[CATHERINE SPEAKS ITALIAN]

You don't care
if your people starve.

PAULTZ:
I'm sure that's not
what the President meant,

Frederick. I'm sure--
Shut up.

LORENZO:
What you must accept

is that my
people are no longer for sale.

STOCKHEINZ:
Who's talking
about buying people?

You did. By implication.

I say what's on my mind.

You don't see what's
on other people's minds.

They do not wish to be
humiliated

the way you just
humiliated your ambassador.

I think if you knew
how Frederick felt--

The President
hasn't finished dear,

or are you?
Frederick, please...

Who do you think you are?

What do you think this country
would be without me?

You wasn't even born
when I was teaching Costa Salva

how to mine and to sell
what was

right underneath it's feet.

I, ah...
really feel it's time--

Nobody asked what you feel!

Ah... I think, ah--
PAULTZ: Dear... ah...

Frederick is our guest,
Rupert.

And I think it's time
to go inside

before the shooting starts.

I'd like to preserve
the china and the stemware.

I hope you won't think me
ungracious if I excuse myself.

I've a lot of work to do.
Of course.

It's been an honor having you,
Mr. President.

You're not going to get away
with this.

General, I want to talk
to you alone.

Call the airport and tell Luis

to get the plane ready.
Pack.

Tell me why you called me
that first night.

I help Frederick
in any way I can.

You're saying you set me up?

Is that what you're saying?

You didn't do that for him.

In the beginning...

yes.

[CHATTERING]

BYRON:
I thought the Captain goes last.

STOCKHEINZ:
Don't worry.
Your protector's here.

PAULTZ:
Good luck, Frederick.

You really want to get
yourself hurt, huh?

Pull up.

Get rid of him.

Do it!

[MOANING, GRUNTING]

You eliminated someone
very important to me.

You even have the language
down, don't you?

I thought Stockheinz had paid
Blair to have you killed.

You were the one who paid Blair
to have Stockheinz killed.

You're becoming
just like Stockheinz

and your father.

Stockheinz and my father
and everything they represent

and the Western World as far
as I'm concerned, is dead.

There's a new force
on this earth.

And nothing's
gonna stop it.

[GUNSHOTS]

Do you think that any
European Prime Minister...

you think any American
President is any different?

Do you think they give one fuck
who they do business with?

There's no pride,

there's no sense of nation,

just greed.

You could've joined me.
You could've worked with me.

You could've been of use.

You gonna get me out of here
or not?

No.
