Death Is Beautiful: Michele Soavi Directs Dellamorte Dellamore Page #4

---

-.. problem?

-Now.

What are you waiting

for? Get on with it!

Now what?

l don't want an anaesthetic.

-lt's not an anaesthetic.

-What is it, then?

One shot of this, it'll be

as if you've never had one.

lt lasts for over a month. Look...

Please, don't make me cut it

away. Today I'm just not up to it.

What are you doing? Turning over?

-l have to give you the shot in the front.

-Front where?

Hold still, I'll just make a puncture.

That f***ing butcher! Must've

given me some kind of infection.

Gnaghi, I'm hovering

between life and death!

Yeah, you're right. I suppose

l'm used to this condition.

That's her, don't let her

in. Tell her I'm not here.

l don't want her to see me like this.

l must see Mr. Dellamorte. I've

got to speak to him, is he in there?

l'd give my life to be dead!

Gnaghi, it doesn't hurt

anymore! I think I'm better.

When did that happen?

She was our nicest client.

The best always die first!

Where've you been?

l thought I'd go mad. lf you

only knew what happened to me!

lf you only knew what happened to me!

l must talk to you.

-We'll always be together.

-Yes, my love, yes.

-l don't know how to say this to you. But the mayor raped me.

-No!

Wait! I liked it. Not the violence, no.

But after that we did it again

nicely. So that I'd forgive him.

lt was wonderful! Do you understand?

This means I'm cured. l

don't have a phobia any more.

l can't marry you, now.

l'm going to marry him. That

doesn't mean anything, though.

Nothing's changed between

us. I still love you.

You know that. I just love

you in a different way.

But you're important to me. He

knows. I mean, about you and me.

He's a wonderful man. He said

he's happy we can be friends.

We can still see each

other. Nothing's changed.

Everything's just as it was.

Everything!

You look for Death in the clear night,

you tell her you still love her.

That you are her slave,

that she's still your queen.

Death, death, death the whore.

No, I'd only do it for the fear.

l'd come back just to

experience the same fear again.

To be afraid, always to be afraid.

Hi!

ls that white BMW outside yours?

We're on foot. Could you give us a lift?

lt's not very far.

Go on!

l'm Magda.

And this is Laura.

How far is it?

This is where we live.

With another girlfriend.

Do you want to come up for a drink?

Come on, you're not afraid

of two college girls, are you?

Make a wish. I grant wishes.

l want you to fall in love with me.

But I'm already in love with

you. Haven't you noticed?

lt's cold in here!

lf you'd like to wash,

there's a sink there.

l didn't mean your face, silly!

l don't know whether I can do it.

l've been taking some medication.

l don't think your

medication is working.

Do you love me?

Yes, if you stay all night.

All my life, too.

Come on!

-Let's rest a bit.

-Why? You've come three times already.

Twice. The third one was faked.

She's sleeping, she's been

studying all day, she's got an exam.

-l just wanted to get some wine.

-Sit down, I'll get you some.

Did Laura tell you you can pay me?

-Pay you?

-School's expensive, my friend.

-l have to pay you?

-We don't have a scholarship.

Besides, it's only 100,000 lira.

She told me she loved me.

That's 150,000.

-She wants me to stay the night.

-200.000.

-ls a cheque all right?

-lt's money, isn't it?

Hurry, darling.

l'm cold. Come and warm me up.

l need your warmth.

Warm me up.

Coming, love.

Now you'll be warm forever.

-Help!

-This time I'm really through with love.

l bet you'd like to know where

l was between 1 and 3 last night.

l know, here we are.

l won't tell anyone about this

cheque. That's why I came here.

We're both worldly men, aren't we?

-But that's a proof against...

-Who? We arrested the culprit.

He set fire to the house, got

home, killed his wife and daughter.

Then turned himself in. He's at

the hospital, psychiatric ward.

Somebody's stolen my crimes!

Sir?

-This section's closed.

-l've come to see the killer.

But you can't go in

there. He's in a coma.

-He drank a bottle of iodine.

-l have to take his measurements.

Franco!

You looked a lot better the

last time we talked on the phone.

Thief!

You're a thief!

You may have killed your wife

and daughter, I'll give you that.

But it was me who knocked

off the three girls!

What are you doing, stealing my murders?

What kind of f***ing

friend do you think you are?

l suppose you thought you

were doing me a favour.

-Put that out immediately, smoking is not allowed in here!

-Shut up.

He's in a coma, he doesn't even notice.

Sh*t!

What did you say?

Everything's sh*t. The only

thing that's not shitty is sleep.

-What are you doing on the floor, sister?

-She's praying.

Friend of yours?

He hasn't got any relatives, and

the coma he's in is irreversible.

-Give me a signature and I'll pull the plug now.

-F*** off!

Here you go, put it back in there.

l won't let you die until

you give me an explanation.

Why did you steal my murders?

Don't you think anything I do counts?

-Oh, my God! What happened?

-They killed each other.

lt was a settling of scores.

-Don't you believe

me? -No. -Tough! -No!

Sorry about that.

So... don't you have anything

to say to your only friend?

Who are you?

l don't know you. l

don't know who you are.

Go away! Go away!

Dellamorte, wait! For God's sake, wait!

Another maniac's on the loose, he's

on the fourth floor killing people.

He shot three. You've got a gun.

Good, so you can defend yourself.

Take my advice and get the

hell out of here, quick!

Straniero! lt was me!

You and I are both the same.

We kill out of indifference.

Out of love, sometimes.

But never out of hate.

Now I don't know who's dead or alive.

l'm sick of killing.

So I'm leaving the game, brother.

Dellamorte Dellamore bids you

farewell and he's on his way.

Where to?

Better get out of here.

Even the statues are talking.

Where do you think you're going,

if you can't see the

difference between life and me?

Gnaghi, you're not bringing that.

That coffin is not coming with us.

Yeah, I missed that one. Don't

worry, I'll get the next one.

Calm down, I know

every bump on this road!

There's one.

Look!

l've never been this far.

We made it, Gnaghi!

Who could've imagined this?

Wider than all the streets

of Buffalora put together.

lt never seems to end.

Hang on, Gnaghi.

Past this tunnel is

the rest of the world!

What do you think the rest of

the world looks like, Gnaghi?

Can you imagine?

You're right. lt's beyond imagination.

l should have known it.

The rest of the world doesn't exist!

Gnaghi!

Gnaghi, you weren't hit that hard,

come on! I'll take you to the car.

Come on! Why are you going

on like this? Come on, man!

Get up, I'll take you

to the car. Come on, man!

Get up.

What? Gnaghi!

Gnaghi!

Don't leave me alone, now! Gnaghi!

Oh, God!

Death, Death, Death comes sweeping down,

filthy Death, the leering clown,

Death on wings, Death by surprise
