Death Is Beautiful: Michele Soavi Directs Dellamorte Dellamore Page #2

---

l don't want to see her again.

-No!

-Yes, my love.

-Don't make me do it!

-But you do it so well!

-Not to you.

-lt will be better with me than with the others.

Gna?

You do it.

Go on! lf you finish fast,

l'll buy you an ice cream.

Here comes the Unforgiven!

The man whose dick's so

small he needs tweezers!

Way to go!

-He could become a woman. That'd solve it!

-You can sew it back!

They can stitch it right on if

you've got one to start with.

Forget it, I started that rumour.

The more they laugh, the

further away they seem.

You can never be too different, Gnaghi.

-Maybe you can.

-Engineer!

Engineer! Come, have a seat.

-Well, well. What a surprise.

-lt's a miracle to see you here.

lt's a miracle seeing

you here, Mr. Mayor.

So, how are things,

down at our cemetery?

How do you think they are?

Population's shrinking.

You are lucky, my dear engineer.

You can't imagine how

things are at the town hall.

Now that the elections are upon

us, it is chaos! Right, lnspector?

-Nobody wants to lose their job!

-l was hoping for a New Deal.

-Daddy, what's this?

-This is my assistant, Gnaghi.

He's sweet! Will you buy him, Daddy?

That's great! lt even knows how to cry.

Gnaghi, don't stay so close to

her. Could you move over, darling?

-Would you tell your daughter to move over?

-Of course.

-Sometimes Gnaghi gets a bit excited.

-l'm sure he's fine.

-What's he doing? Dancing?

-No, he's about to...

-What are you doing, Valentina?

-He threw up on me, Claudio!

New fact. Would you

like to go for a ride?

l knew you'd understand.

Take off!

One of these days I have to

talk to you about the cemetery.

The youth of today!

They're so... emotional!

Come on, Gnaghi, get in, for

God's sake! Just get in the car!

lt's not the end of the world.

lt didn't even bother her!

She understood it was just a

demonstration of your affection.

lt's not the first time you

threw up over a woman, is it?

Come on, Gnaghi, get in!

Look, first love doesn't count.

lt's last love that counts.

Nobody came today. I was a bit

bored. Not even the admiral.

He's just disappeared!

Let's hope tomorrow.

-Come again and stay awhile.

-He was such a distinguished man!

He always used to bring

me a touch of Sambuca!

Come on, Gnaghi! You'll

get over it, you'll see.

Time passes, nothing seems the same.

lt just gets worse!

God, is it ever difficult

trying to make you feel better!

What would you do with the Mayor's

daughter? She's only a child!

That's not true.

You're not a child. You're

a year older than I am.

Anyway...

One day you'll settle down with

some poor creature like yourself.

What do you care? They all

end up here sooner or later.

Often sooner than later.

Faster! Open it up!

-lf Daddy could see us now!

-He'd kill me.

Claudio! Off we go!

Go! Go!

-Yeah! -Hang on!

-Eat our dust!

Four motorcycles, the Mayor's

daughter was on one of them.

Her head was sliced right

off and had to be sown back.

The bikes crashed into

a bus loaded with scouts

on their way back from church.

Slaughter of the innocents!

And they were all so young.

They felt their life was ahead

of them, but it was passing by!

-Well, you've got your hands full.

-More than you know.

Gnaghi, we're going to

need a lot of bullets.

Claudio! Take me with you!

Don't leave me all alone!

Take me with you, my love!

Nasty tart! My son wasn't with you!

-He was promised to the Mayor's daughter!

-But he loved me!

-Liar!

-He was mine, he loved me, only me!

-Have you no respect for a mother?

-We're born to die.

Born merely to die! Do you remember?

Just yesterday, she was

alive, happy. Do you remember?

Dear Gnaghi even threw up on

her and she took it so well!

And now, she's gone. Right

on the eve of the elections!

l'd better get the pickaxe and shovel.

Pumpkin, how could you do this to me?

ls it true that the dead come back

to life here at night? Tell me!

-Who told you that?

-ls it true or not?

-What if it is?

-l've got to see Claudio again!

-l have to know whether he loved me or her.

-l'll let you know.

-No, wait!

-Go away! I haven't got time for the living.

Gnaghi?

Gnaghi! They came back

sooner than we thought!

Gnaghi, wake up!

Gnaghi, watch out!

Gnaghi, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to.

Time's up. I want you upstairs,

ready in 5 minutes, okay?

Oh, no! What's she doing here?

-Visiting hours are over!

-No one'll ever take me away from him!

-Get the f*** over here, quick!

-No, Claudio!

No, Claudio! Take me with you!

Stupid cow!

Come on!

Please, wait!

Claudio, please, take me with

you! Tell me you only love me!

Please!

Claudio?

You only love me, right?

Damn! Always shoots to

the right when it's cold.

Gnaghi!

No, stop! He's only eating me!

-Move aside.

-Mind your business, I'll be eaten by whoever I please!

This is my business, they pay me for it.

The living dead and the

dying living are all the same.

Cut from the same cloth.

But disposing of dead

people is a public service.

Whereas you're in trouble if you

kill someone when they're alive.

Wait!

This way they'll be together forever.

l'm sentimental!

Patience, Gnaghi. ln love, it's

the waiting that's the best part.

You have to learn how to wait.

-What's your name

again? -Gna. -Gnaghi.

l'm Valentina.

Haven't I seen you before?

Oh, yeah. Now I remember.

You threw up on me. How sweet!

But I like shy boys. And

you never say no to a kiss.

Take advantage. I'm in

no position to refuse.

Besides, I don't think

l'd refuse anyway.

False alarm!

lt was only a cat.

No use you try and

help me, little thing!

lf I can't do it, imagine you!

Putting this skull together...

is one of the most difficult

things in the world.

You know, you really are

disgusting when you eat, Gnaghi!

Yes, you're right. lt all does get

mixed up in the stomach in the end.

What is it?

That wasn't a cat...

We can't! I'm alive...

And you are dead.

l'm not prejudiced, my love.

l killed her.

l killed her!

l killed her.

The first time, when her husband

bit her, she wasn't really dead.

When she woke up, and l

shot her, she was alive.

l killed her. I killed the

only woman I ever loved.

l shot her with my eyes

closed, didn't aim for the head.

That's why she came

back. God, what an idiot!

Now I'm infected, too. Will

l be a Returner when I die?

Who knows if Gnaghi...

No, poor Gnaghi!

He'd never have the guts to

crush my skull with a shovel.

l'm not dead, you idiot!

A bite can't kill you!

Good morning, Engineer!

Miss Chiaromondo, I'm not an engineer.

-Are you or not the watchman of this cemetery?

-Of course I am.

You are therefore an

engineer. By the way...

Which of these do you think

would be better on my tombstone?

-Both.

-l like the opinion of a handsome young man!

Goodbye, Engineer!

Good morning, cutie!

But that's the phone

book! Are you crazy?

That is my favourite reading!

We have the new ones but we don't

have to throw the old ones away.

These books are classics!
