Eight and a Half: Go Ego - Music Video Page #9

---

Put down your stuff. Good.

Now go to the mirror.

Admire yourself.

More. Swell your chest.

There.

Now go to the phone.

Slowly. Don't run.

- Why are you running?

- I'm not.

Look, hit that mark.

There, on the floor.

Hello, the concierge please?

Speaking.

I'd like a bottle of flat water.

Fiuggi.

No, Fiuggi is sparkling.

No, look this way.

Fiuggi is the least sparkling.

Fine, I'll take the Fiuggi.

Will this one do, Guido?

He's got to make up his mind

because she's leaving for England.

She's leaving next week, Guido.

- And who's this one?

- Shut up, you!

Or do you prefer this one.

This is an important character.

People need to like her right off the bat.

Right, Guido?

Signora, sit down

as if you were drained.

This character is a woman who

has lost the desire to fight.

because... say your line...

- Without stopping?

- What?

- Without stopping?

- Yes, yes.

I am the one who's offering you

complete freedom.

Anyway, I'm no good to you this way.

I'm just a nuisance.

And who's this?

What should she represent?

Didn't you hear? She's the wife.

Still, she's likable, soulful.

Don't you think?

- Gimme a cigarette.

- I've run out. Enrico, fill us up.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

You're welcome.

I cannot go on like this any longer.

Now, you tell me how I should be.

Not someone who lies and swears

he's telling the truth

every second of the day.

That would be enough.

You don't even do that.

With you I never,

never know the truth.

Even in the smallest things.

Luisa, I care for you.

Lying is like breathing to you.

Repeat that, please.

Lying is like breathing to you.

So brazen.

- All lines from his life.

- Right.

I know this one. She's the princess.

Am I not alone already?

What are you giving me?

What have I got to look

forward to?

Look this way. Put on the glasses.

Repeat the last line.

Am I not alone already?

You have to say it,

yes, aggressively,

but also with deep bitterness.

He said:
. What?

You want a separation.

You want to be alone.

But what would you do on your own?

And she answers:
. why,

am I not alone already? Go on.

Guido, there's no doubt

about this one. She's perfect.

Five months. We've been going

this way for five months.

But they're all so old!

Fiuggi is sparkling.

No, it's the least sparkling.

Louder.

Put down the phone.

Screen test for Miss Olimpia.

What about this one?

It's dangerous leaving me alone.

Why, what do you do?

Should I repeat the line?

No, just turn your little

head this way. Now, stop.

Where are you going?

Back to the hotel. I'm sleepy.

Wait a second. Listen.

What happened?

Nothing. Nothing ever

happens between us.

Were you offended

by something you saw?

It's just a movie.

I'm the first to understand that.

It's a movie, another invention,

another lie.

You put everybody in it,

but the way you like to see them.

But I know the truth.

The difference is that

I would never have the impudence

to tell everybody the way you do.

Go ahead. Make your movie.

No, I won't.

Indulge yourself. Stroke your ego.

Go make everyone think

you're so wonderful.

What could you ever teach strangers

when you can't

even tell the simplest truth

to the ones closest to you?

To the one who's been

growing old with you?

Come on Luisa. Cut the drama.

You were right to ask me here.

We needed to find closure.

This time, I assure you,

I won't be coming back.

You can go to hell!

Fine, just run, run.

Do what the doctor ordered, run!

Shut up! Throw this ignoramus out.

Fine, now sing.

You may say I'm losing it,

but I have the bills here...

I'll never pay this one, never!

Conocchia, you're losing it.

Saraghina look,

we've got the money.

Saraghina, the Rumba, the Rumba...

Guido, would you please

say something? Please!

What about this one, Guido?

Frankly I preferred the one before.

This one is from Naples.

Can't you see that I'm... stuttering.

When are you coming?

I'm tired of waiting.

Look at me.

Don't leave me alone!

You know it's dangerous.

Don't leave me alone.

You know it's dangerous, darling.

Look over here.

Why aren't you coming now?

Why are you keeping me waiting?

You know it's dangerous

when I have to wait.

Louder, louder!

Countess, walk.

Don't touch me.

This way, this way.

Screen tests Mrs. Grazia, one.

Just bare your shoulders

all of a sudden.

Saraghina, we've got the money.

The money.

Stop. Very good. Was it all right?

Signora, what do you think?

If he won't speak up,

at least we can say something.

Somebody say something!

This is a democracy, right?

You can't hide. We've found you

anyway. How are you?

Hi, I'm Poletti,

from Claudia's press agency.

We met 1 5 years ago.

You might not remember me...

- Look, she's here.

- Where?

Excuse me.

- Claudia.

- How are you?

Well, and you?

You're finally here.

Let's go outside, all right?

This is Caroline, my secretary.

I'd like to talk to you alone.

When do we start shooting?

- Soon, very soon.

- And what's my part?

I'll tell you everything later.

I'm very happy to be working

with you

and I hope I'll be able to help you.

But you must tell me everything.

Where are we going now?

Well?

- This way.

You're so beautiful.

I'm at a loss for words.

You make my heart beat

like a school boy's.

You don't believe me, do you?

You inspire such deep respect.

Who do you love?

Claudia, who are you with?

- Who do you care for?

- You.

You arrived just in time, you know.

Why do you smile that way?

I never know if you're judging me,

absolving me, mocking me.

I'm listening. You said you wanted

to tell me about the film.

I don't know anything.

Could you leave everything behind

and start from zero again?

Pick one thing, and one only,

and be absolutely devoted to it?

Make it the reason for your existence,

the thing that contains everything,

that becomes everything,

because your dedication to it

makes it last forever? Could you?

All right, listen.

If I were to say, Claudia...

Where are we going?

I don't know the way...

And what about you? Could you?

The springs must be nearby.

Listen. Turn here.

No, this guy here, he couldn't.

He wants to grab everything,

can't give up a single thing.

He changes his mind every day,

because he's afraid he might

miss the right path.

And he's slowly bleeding to death.

- So this is how the movie ends?

No, this is how it starts.

Then one day he meets the girl

of the spring.

She's one of those girls that

distributes the healing water,

she's beautiful, young and ancient,

a child and a woman already,

authentic and radiant.

There's no doubt that she's his salvation.

You'll be dressed in white

and your hair will be long,

just the way you wear it.

Turn the headlights off.

And then?

Let's leave.

I don't like this place.

It doesn't feel real.

I like it enormously. Isn't that odd?

I didn't get much from your story.

A guy like your character,

who doesn't love anybody,

is not very sympathetic you know.
