In Search of Fellini Page #5

---

you want to make movies?

You want to be in movies?

But Fellini makes movies,

so why?

[Claire]

Wait, wait, wait.

This is it.

This is Lucy.

Lucy's way cuter than that.

No, the movie that she went

to see in Cleveland.

She saw something

in this movie.

[Kerri] You think she left

to join the circus?

No.

No, she left because

I was an a**hole.

[Kerri]

Don't flatter yourself.

[man singing in Italian

on television]

She's in love.

In love with... with who?

[soft jazz music playing]

[Pietro speaking in Italian]

Life is a combination

of magic and pasta.

[speaking in Italian]

We have time.

[rain pouring]

[woman speaking in Italian]

[speaking in Italian]

Hey, you have a boyfriend?

Huh?

[sighs]

You should never trust a man.

You can make love with them.

But never trust them.

They'll steal your money,

break your heart,

push you in a river

or off a cliff.

And still, you keep trusting

and forgiving and loving.

No.

[speaking in Italian]

Understand?

They need you.

You don't need them.

[speaking in Italian]

[both laugh]

Hi, Mario,

it's Lucy calling.

Americana!

Uh, I-I just wanted

to thank you

for making me stay in Verona.

It's actually been, um...

it's been... amazing.

I know I said

I was coming to Rome, but...

[click] Pronto, pronto,

Lucia, it's me, the Mario.

Listen, listen, listen.

You have to come to Rome, okay?

You have to come to Rome.

You take the next train

and come to Rome.

- It's very important.

- I can't.

No, Lucia, listen to me.

Fellini wants to see you.

- He does?

- So you have to come to Rome.

And you have to do it now.

It's very important.

You put your [speaks Italian]

on the next train,

and you come now,

it's very important.

- Yes, o-okay.

- Very, very important.

- There isn't much time, okay?

- Okay, [speaking in Italian]

[click]

[watch ticking]

Hey.

Where are you going?

It's early.

I have to go to Rome.

Fellini.

Hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey.

[speaking in Italian]

Lucy...

You are my Fellini.

[man singing in Italian

[singing continues,

dramatic music plays]

[chains rattling]

[woman speaking in Italian]

[door closes]

Excuse me,

where is this train going?

[Mario speaking in Italian]

Mario? Hi, hi, it's Lucy.

- I don't know what happened. I'm in Venice.

- No, no, no, no, no.

But I just wanted

to let you know

that I'm definitely coming...

I am sorry.

It is impossible, no.

Do not come.

You missed your appointment.

[speaking in Italian]

No more appointments with

[speaking in Italian]

No, I understand, but...

[speaking in Italian]

Mario,

but you told me to come.

I told you to come

last week, Lucy!

No, I understand that.

You're very busy.

- But you told me to come...

- Busy?!

It sounds like you are the one

that is more busy!

You have an appointment

with Federico Fellini!

- You have to understand, I...

- Please shut up!

- You are very sweet but maybe a little bit stupid!

- No...

I don't have anywhere to go.

I don't have any money...

These are not my problems!

These are your problems, Lucy!

Yes, Mario, but you told me...

and I... I...

Do not tell me

what I told you!

You said you were coming,

and you did not come!

I know,

I just came such a long way.

[sighs] He gave me a message

for you, Lucia.

W-what... what did he say?

He said, uh, "Mario,

you tell this to Lucy.

Everything you need is there,

Lucia.

Sometimes you have to travel

far, far away

in order to find

what is closest to you."

[speaking in Italian]

[Kerri]

This is my favorite part.

[Claire] What?

You've never even seen it.

Yeah, I know, it's the ending.

So good.

I'm so glad it's over.

You just don't get it.

I totally understand

what Lucy was saying.

It's like this beautiful

love story,

but it's like art and...

[Kerri laughs]

[Claire] What? [Kerri] That's

what you're getting from this?

[Claire] Yeah, it's so sweet.

[Kerri] Are you serious?

It's just a bunch of abstract

images shoved together.

You're reading

your own sh*t into it.

[Claire] What does that mean? [Kerri]

Although, well, that makes sense since you're

in a complete fantasy world

of denial at all times.

- Why are you being so mean?

- It's just the truth.

[Claire] It's just because

you... you can't appreciate it.

You don't understand art. [Kerri]

I just thought we could have

an honest conversation

for once.

- No, can you just please stop?

- It was a piece of sh*t.

I'm dying, and you're mean.

Okay.

Oh, okay, yeah.

Pull out the dying card.

That makes sense. [Claire]

Yeah, like you have this like,

you have this

like fantastic life.

When's the last time you had a boyfriend?

[Kerri] Oh...

When's the last time...

[Kerri] I'm sorry.

And have you ever had a child?

No. Have you been a mother?

- Well, I don't think so. I don't think you have a kid.

- What is wrong with you?

I take care of you and Lucy.

That's my life.

That's what I do.

Lucy is my daughter! She

is not your daughter!

Yeah, you're my kid.

You're my f***ing kid.

- You're so selfish, Claire.

- Get out.

- No wonder she left.

- Get out of here! Get out!

[Kerri] You're losing your mind.

You're a monster.

[Claire] Get out,

get out, get out!

Can't wait to get

away from you!

[bells tolling]

Oh! I'm sorry!

[speaking in Italian]

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

Uh, need help?

Yes, I'm... I'm looking

for the train station.

Oh. Train station.

Okay.

Uh, yeah! [speaking in

Italian]

I'll show you.

Placido. [speaking in

Italian]

Lucy.

Lucy.

[Placido] So, Lucy...

you are an artist?

I'm sorry.

I saw you drawing earlier.

So beautiful.

[chuckles] They're nothing.

Forgive me,

I don't wish to frighten you.

No, thank you.

So, um...

traveling alone?

- Or maybe... boyfriend?

- No, my mom.

She's actually waiting for me

at the train station.

Oh, yes, of course.

I know a short cut.

Come on, take my hand,

let's go.

[Placido chuckles]

[Placido]

There's, like, a thousand ways

to get lost in Venice.

With these little canal,

we have, like,

more than 400 bridges.

- It's beautiful.

- I love it.

[woman singing in distance] I hear

someone singing. Are you a singer?

[singing in Italian

on television]

So, uh, your mom

is an artist, too, like you?

Um, she... she draws some.

Sh*t.

We're lost.

[meowing and barking

in the distance]

Joking.

This way. [chuckles]

No, my mom,

she's a teacher.

My sister is a chef.

[Lucy] Mm-hmm.

A pastry chef. Delicious.

[Lucy] Wow.

And I have a brother also. We are

a big family. [chains rattling]

[laughter in distance]

This way is the train station.

Come on, follow me.

The train station, over here.

Or you want to go there?

[both chuckle]

[Placido singing in Italian]

[speaking in Italian]

[speaking in Italian]

[speaking in Italian]

F***!

[speaking in Italian]

F***, I forgot to tell you.

There's a party.

My friends organized

a party for me.

- And I have to go there. Please? Please?
