Ginger and Fred Page #8

since several weeks,

to say what he's been asking for years.

He is trying to focus the attention

of the country and of the parliament

to the need to forbid hunting and fishing.

No more hunting,

stiring up...

men's aggressivity.

He says he smells

mint everywhere.

That girl is so funny!

I'm scared. Who are they?

- I don't know.

- Strange.

Here's 24 dancers, The tallest one

is 42 cm.

The smallest dancers ever!

Quick, move to the next one.

Wait here, silently.

- Is it better?

- He recovered, He's fine.

Admiral,

It's your turn, in ten minutes.

Please, a little bit of water,

I have to give him the heart medecine.

- The cognac.

- We didn't ask for it.

- Is it for the admiral?

- Are you crazy? Go away.

- It's for me.

- No, Pippo, It's not good for your health.

Heroes always existed.

This housewife is among them

She accepted, for money,

to spend one month without TV.

She signed a contract,

We sent technicians

who locked her TV set

and took away her antenna from the roof

making impossible to see TV

from her house.

You'll say it's impossible,

I couldn't believe it either,

but this woman exists.

Here's to you Pietruzza Silvestri.

Madam, would you do it again?

Never. Never again.

It has been terrible.

They gave us a lot of money, it's true,

but it's cursed money.

Experiments like this should not be allowed,

especially where there are children

and aged people.

Madam, by the sound of your voice

I'd say you studied how to sing.

Never agaiiiiiiin!

Well said, madam. We all agree!

Never again without TV!

Porchetta Lombardoni

For a "more" Christmas!

I hope you were joking

when you said those things.

If you are planning to act like a clown,

I'll quit and you'll dance alone.

A step back in time, dear friends.

Many of you may remember 1940,

war time,

black outs, fear.

It's our turn, they're calling us.

...coming back thanks to a musical tune

recalling

Fred Astaire e Ginger Rogers!

Our show found two dancers

That in the '40s

on stage

became famous

using Ginger and Fred as names

imitating

the famous american couple.

We are proud to present, Ginger and Fred!

Do you know how old this man

and this woman are ?

Me and Ginger have a pact

I'll tell you their age

only after you've seen them dancing.

Now an extraordinary tap dance,

here's to you Ginger and Fred!

Goodbye!

Don't move away from the stage.

Sirs, don't leave your seats.

We're activating emergency power.

Don't move,

don't leave your seats,

you might fall

or step on cables,

it's dangerous.

We have to apologize, dear audience.

We ask you to wait

without leaving your seats.

Come to fetch me,

I can't see anything!

Be careful, you'll fall!

You, call!

If it was all like this,

I might watch this show.

Call 219,

It's the president.

Fred.

Fred, what happened to you?

Did you fall?

Amelia, What did we came here for?

We must be crazy!

Let's quit now.

while it's still dark

we may go that way.

Stay down.

We're lucky.

Buffoon.

You're just a thoughtless.

Buffooon.

Amelia, be careful, you'll fall!

Where are you going? Didn't you hear?

It's dangerous.

- I will look for Toto.

- Where? You too might fall.

- This darkness makes my head turn.

- Then sit down for a while.

I'll put my handkerchief.

It's going to crease.

How will I look when

we'll have light again?

We won't have light again.

Why?

In the first place, because

this is a shitty organisation.

The famous "giant with clay feet"!

And then this might be

a terroristic act, an attack.

We might suddendly blow up.

Let's leave, then.

Amelia, this would be a wonderful story.

Imagine the title!

"They got separated 30 years before,

they rejoin to die together"

Stories like this are not

moving anymore.

And then I wouldn't like it

I don't feel bad here.

It's like a dream, far away from everything.

a place, you don't know where,

you don't know how you got there.

Toto told you I've been

in a mental hospital, did he?

It's true.

I don't know what happened

when you left me!

Abandon, loneliness.

Ive never known it,

I would have run to see you.

What for? Our story was over

and our work too.

Only these crazy people

could remember that we...

are ghosts coming from the dark

and going back to the dark.

You're so right.

I tell myself that I did it

for my nephews, for my friends,

a crazy idea.

The truth is that I wanted so much

to see you again.

Very romantic.

Then, I want to tell you that

I wanted to see you again too.

It's the retreat sign,

let's go.

Yes.

We have to be able to understand the signs.

Who knows what could follow this escape.

Come.

Be careful, there's a step.

TV addicted!

In your places!

In your places!

We apologize for the short interruction,

it may have made greedier your waiting!

The show will resume from where

it was interrupted!

The ship is goin to sail, it was the last siren sound,

but Ginger is running down the stair.

and now they are hugging and

promising not be separated again.

The music, like a book for Francesca,

surrounds the two partners in work and life

and they're still dancing together.

- I can't remember anything.

- Two steps on the side, then you follow me.

Leg.

I turn that way, hold me.

- Now?

- Twice.

- Turn slowly.

- A cramp!

Like this, well done.

Bravo.

Did you get hurt?

May we go on?

He wants to go on, let's applaude him,

as encouragement!

Do you feel like doing it?

There's Dud, do you remember

the violin player?

I feel like crying.

Move your arm,

it's on my face.

There's a feather in my nose.

- No, there's nothing.

- I feel like sneezing.

Pippo, we did it!

You were wonderful.

Pippo, Amelia, bravi! Bravi!

You can't stay here,

you won't let people pass!

Brava, it made me cry.

You were divine, everybody say so!

Did you see?

They liked you, but now stand up!

I did not eat, would you like a piece of

zampone with lentils ?

There's no time,

my train leaves in 15 minutes.

but you may go,

you still have one hour.

I've got more, I decided to spend

a few days in Rome.

At Toto's place. I got an idea.

That show host earns a lot of money.

I could do his job better than him!

Sure but, did you tell it to your wife?

Didn't they tell you?

She left me a couple of years ago.

- Are you Ginger?

- Yes. Ginger and Fred.

- Will you sign an autograph for me?

- Sure, what's your name?

We saw you dancing on tv.

I saw you on tv,

will you make a "signa"?

Thanks, my friend.

Will you sign an autograph too?

- Thanks.

- Me too.

Have you seen?

Ginger and Fred !

When will we get the money?

I thought we would get it immediately.

They said two or three weeks.

It would have been better to get it tonight.

I could give it to you,

you'll give it back to me when you can.

- All right.

- Hey, I do want it back!

I don't know how much it is, but... well.

- I want it back!

- Yes.

Amelia, I won't go with you to the train.

I don't like leaving trains.

Then it's a goodbye.
