East, west, south, north ?

- He's off now.

- Good luck.

Have a good trip.

The war is over.

Why not take a vacation ?

There are a thousand places to go.

Every day a fiesta. Follow it all up, sonny.

Fill your eyes, your mouth, your pocket.

Choose carefully.

There's music and girls and cards,

and a paycheck every Friday night.

Take it easy.

Stop worrying.

Don't make trouble.

Forget about your feet,

your politics, or your religion.

I suddenly realised I had lost my way

and my time.

Nothing behind me, nothing in front of me.

Nothing.

Everything.

Nothing.

Everything.

Nothing. Everything.

Nothing.

Everything.

Nothing. Everything.

Nothing.

Everything.

Nothing.

Everything. Nothing.

Everything.

Nothing.

Everything.

Nothing.

Everything.

Sure. We were always getting involved.

There's no way of not getting involved.

But there seemed to be a way out.

Yes. To start all over again.

All over again.

All... over... again.

To return to forgotten memories,

where the faces of the old gods

shine, excite, inspire...

and vanish.

Leaving unforgettable traces in your mind.

Make up your mind.

Maybe it's better this way.

For old times' sake.

Enjoy your friends.

It's the same room, the same chairs to sit on,

the same cards.

Here we are again, just like in old times.

T urn on the radio. It saves conversation.

But is it too late now ?

Everything's the same. Sure.

Only you are not the same.

Help, for old times' sake.

Look closely at them. Be objective.

They seem different,

but they are the same people.

You are the one who has changed.

It's over with now.

Forget it.

Many men in my position

would have hesitated to compromise,

or gone into business on a small scale.

But what's the use of a roof without any house ?

Due to the emergency,

I was forced to choose a way out I did not like.

My mind was made up.

My baggage was ready for the journey.

I had delayed for much too long.

All kinds of events passed through my mind.

Some of them happened long ago.

I remembered them without any apparent order

or significance.

I remembered that I went with my second wife

to the seashore,

where our photo was taken.

And a friend discovered a new star

in the southern sky.

And I saw dear old Ollie in Cata Vijetta.

And the world went to pieces

and the pieces lived on separately.

But the farther I came, the more

all isolated events lost their meanings.

Everything seemed to happen at once

and in the same space.

It was quite a new experience.

Then I decided to tear up my one-way ticket

and stay where I was.

I had not come so far

only to jump at the wrong moment.

I was out for the great embarrassment

and I liked it.

I would have gone on anyway,

no matter what happened.

There is so much ahead of me.

So much that I have to find out.

I've been dreaming of you

All night through

Till the summer sunshine

found me still sleeping

And dreaming of you

I've been dreaming of you

Lost in the blue

And I get the most peculiar feeling

You've been dreaming too

I thought that I was falling

But I woke up just before I hit the ground

And found I'd been dreaming of you

My friends all gathered round me

And their lips moving in time

I get the most peculiar...
