Ginger and Fred Page #6

you didn't realize they were teasing you?

- What does this have to do with Giovanni Pascoli!

- What does it have to do with you!

Amelia, look!

- Toto!

- Amelia!

Our Toto !

I have no memory, I sh*t in my trousers,

I've got false teeth, I don't smoke, I don't drink...

- I'm fine.

- Are you telling the truth?

- I'm fine. And you?

- Never!

Seal, Seal, seal makes you smarter,

seal meat.

Willingly we bet our life for a piece

of seal. The seal, The seal!

- Should I go that way too?

- Yes, for the make-up. go.

Did you take the drops?

You'd pay half, in Piazza Re di Roma.

- Does it hurt here?

- It's a delight.

- And here?

- It's a little dangerous there.

- Miss, can I have one too?

- Yes.

- Could I have a picture with you?

- Sure.

My nephew wants to become like them.

- Let me take you in my arms.

- Why not?

Slowly, please!

Amelia, do you like he-men?

Those are ornaments!

I want a picture for my nephew...

like Mae West !

Toto, If the "child" goes on like this,

I don't know what I'll do!

Do you know where I can find some ice?

In the bar. Bring some to me too,

I'm on fire!

She feels better than me!

I can't stand you,

I've had enough of you!

- Meeting you will make him feel better.

- Do you think so?

Amelia, I haven't seen you two

together for 30 years!

He was so bold...

instead... what a defeat!

Poor him, he took it really badly.

Really.

- What did he take badly?

- You leaving him.

He had to be hospitalised.

I went to see him, whenever I could.

He didn't recognize me,

the first time.

What happened?

- Amelia !

- Yes, we're coming.

- Didn't you know about it?

- What?

Don't tell anything to him.

My shoes!

Amelia !

- How old is he?

- 7.

My friend, tell me the truth,

what do you think about...

This is the problem, right?

See you!

There's no doubt,

monkeys were our ancestors.

- but not completely.

- What do you mean?

We don't have instinct,

innocence.

- Do you know what those eyes were saying?

- No.

"Such a sad situation for you"

He was talking about you.

- Honorable, please sit down here.

- Honorable, we still have one hour.

- He didn't eat for 45 days!

- Why?

It's a protest. He says we shouldn't

shoot birds.

- He's right.

- Let us poor people starve!

He's got money and he's starving!

You instead are really poor!

You were lucky to meet Toto.

I'm like a little mouse,

I know every hole here.

I can find a quiet place

for you to do a rehearsal.

Toto, we'll wait here.

Yesterday evening I ate

salad with tuna.

I had to sh*t.

I spent the night in the toilet!

What's that good for?

It makes me look younger.

We have to apologize,

our broadcast will be resumed

in a few minutes.

- How was it?

- Very good!

What's up?

Nothing.

- This one?

- A silver pen.

- Do you have them all?

- No, not enough space!

Pardon me, I think you're missing

a very important decoration.

Which one?

The great umbilical cord

of the Order of the great ass.

It's evil to tease my decorations

and the man who has been decorated!

Let me pass!

Calm down, please forgive him!

You're asking him just the one he doens't have!

He's got so many! Calm down, you'll see you'll get that one too!

- Let go!

- Come on, stop now!

Nobody will disturb you here.

You can do your rehearsal quietly.

I left your suitcase there.

We still have one hour.

- I'll come to fetch you for the make-up.

- All right.

Guys... Ginger and Fred!

I remember your show started like that:

Ginger comes back to London,

her big love affair is over.

Will they make the... VUUU ?

It's fundamental,

that's where the dance start.

- I know you gave the score to the maestro.

- Fortunately I still had it!

"Goodbye, my loved Fred" Ginger

is crying, leaving on a ship.

That's when you arrive,

you throw away your cigarette...

Fred!

You're really bold, guys!

You can do your rehearsal quietly,

I'll come back later.

- Should we try the costumes?

- Yes. Better.

- Are you short breathed?

- No.

Did you see Toto then?

No... well, yes. Once.

- Where?

- I can't remember.

I wonder why I feel embarassed.

We layed down so many times in the same bed!

You're so nice!

We're in bad conditions, are we?

Now I try to avoid undressing

in front of a woman, if I can.

- And you?

- Me?

Me what? I don't have these problems.

You're asking such questions...!

I mean it's not like it used to be.

When I was undressing,

the lucky girl was immediately

starting to applaude.

It wasn't so bad, old Pippo... Fred !

In fact I resisted 15 years with the

"sexually nomad", as you used to call yourself.

- How was it with your husband?

- What do you mean?

- Everything.

- Everything was very different.

You and me were so young back then.

How do I look?

- Why not?

- The steps.

- What's wrong with the steps?

- They're non existant.

We must show them who we are.

They have to see who's Fred!

- And me?

- You too.

They think they can put us there

like trained bears?

We came here to introduce an admiral,

a warmonger?

You came here to introduce an admiral.

I'm not so happy about this either

but it's their system.

Not me.

Let me go to the stage.

Let me go to the stage.

Let me go to the stage.

- Yes.

- You'll see what I'll do.

Because tonight I will talk,

I will say everything.

I'll say everything

to 60 millions italians !

But... What are you going to say?

S-H-E-E-P-S.

Sheeps.

Sheeps.

Do you think I came here

because of 800,000 lire?

I don't give a damn!

So you invented television?

you're watching television all the time?

Do you want to hear only the television?

Then you'll hear me, tonight. Me!

Come. I said come here!

Turn.

Your head. Your leg.

Got it.

Crazy uh? It's time to stop with

this crazy thing.

Damn, so good !

Stop now, Pippo. You might get hurt.

Attention please, actors and guests

should go to the make-up.

They're calling us.

We have to go to the make-up.

Later.

- Ladies, this way.

- Who should I give Marlene and Sophia Loren to?

They're all americans.

- Why did they choose you?

- I've been in Philadelfia twice.

Mrs Ginger!

We're here, I need you.

Amelia, that one is the make-up room.

Right in front of you.

Mrs Ginger, do I look better this way...

or this way?

I think it's better this way,

the neck looks nicer.

- I don't know.

- I also think so, makes it thinner.

Madam, sit down.

- What are you doing?

- The wig.

- I've got my wig!

- Are you Paolino the cat?

- No Paolino the cat!

- Who's Paolino the cat?

Who ordered three "grappe"?

They're for me!

- Should we cover your bald?

- No.

- It's better, you look younger.

- All right.

Oh, wake up! wake up!

- You can keep the rest, enjoy!

- 1,000 lire still missing!

I'm so scared!

- You're pulling away my hair, I'll do it!

- Look at this crazy!

I give up, I don't feel like doing it.

Excuse me, I want to go home,

who should I tell it to?

- I'll take care of you.

- You misunderstood. I wanna leave!

I'm sorry madam, I'm deaf.
