Call Me by Your Name Page #20

ELIO:

(lowering his voice when

he is sure they’ve left

the room)

They know about us...

OLIVER (V.O.)

I figured.

ELIO:

How?

93.

OLIVER (V.O.)

From the way your father spoke -he

made me feel like a member of the

family -almost like a son-in-law.

You’re lucky. My father would have

carted me off to a correctional

facility.

ELIO:

(daringly)

“Elio, Elio”

OLIVER (V.O.)

(After a very long beat)

Oliver.. I remember everything ...

144 INT.PROFESSOR PERLMAN’S STUDY -PERLMAN VILLA -AFTERNOON144

The PERLMANS and MAFALDA are at a big table spread out with

what look like application letters, with photos attached.

It’s the ritual that takes place every year, they evaluate

several letters of proposal sent by advanced graduate

students in America, or young aspiring scholars from there.

It's the ritual that brought about the choice of Oliver last

year.

ELIO enters the room, he looks over the photos, the resumés.

There are half a dozen young men and a couple of young women.

ANNELLA:

E questo?

(This one?)

But Elio is not interested in this. They watch him leave the

study.

145 INT. DINING ROOM -PERLMAN VILLA -NIGHT 145

Elio enters the dining room all dressed for the celebration

lunch. Light is dimming outside the windows. Activities

around the table between Annella and Mafalda (placing

flowers, lighting candles etc).

Elio crouches in front of the fire.

His face lost in thoughts.

The entire end credit scrolls on his close up.

Near the end

ANNELLA:

Elio, Elio

94.

Elio is so deeply in his thoughts that only after a long beat

after Annella calling him he turns toward the sound of her

voice.

Fade to black.
