[Placido speaking in Italian]

Sorry, Lucy.

What is a kiss?

Simply...

the desire...

to immerse yourself...

in the woman you love.

[both grunting]

[speaking in italian]

[both yelling]

[speaking in Italian]

Ah!

[speaking in Italian]

[train horn]

[chains rattling]

Lucy!

[motorcycle departing]

[Claire] "The rabbit-hole went

on like a tunnel for some way,

"and then dipped suddenly

down...

Lucy!

"Down, down, down.

"But it was too dark

to see anything.

"She looked at the sides

of the well,

"and noticed they were filled

with cupboards and bookshelves.

[Placido]

Lucy!

[Claire coughing and wheezing]

[Train horn]

"in a dreamy sort of way,

"'Do cats eat bats?

Do cats eat bats?'

"Wondering if she were ever

to get out again."

Excuse me,

d-do you have a phone?

[telephone ringing]

Hello? Lucy?

Kerri,

I need to talk to mom.

I...

I know you do.

Um... I wanted to tell you

earlier.

She didn't want you to know.

Lucy, I'm so sorry.

She's gone, Lucy.

I'm sorry.

Are you there?

Lucy, don't hang up...

[Nino Rota's "Tema Della

Strada" plays on the trumpet]

[woman speaking in italian]

[soft music in background]

What is your name?

Lucy Cunningham.

Lucy.

Lucia. Light.

Beppi!

[Beppi]

Eh?

[woman speaking in Italian]

[Beppi speaking in Italian]

[woman speaking in Italian]

[Beppi speaking in Italian]

Are you here on holiday?

Visiting family? Friends?

Why are you here?

I was...

looking for Fellini.

Fellini.

Federico Fellini?

Beppi!

[Beppi speaking in Italian]

[Beppi speaking in Italian]

[Beppi speaking in Italian]

Yes, they call him the

lighthouse. Light, Lucy.

Fellini was the maestro

of illusion.

No, no, no, no, no.

We met on the set

of "Satyricon".

Oh, it was a long time ago.

We were much younger,

much thinner, very naked.

[Beppi speaking in Italian]

Huh? Ah, [speaking in

Italian]

Lucia?

Everything serves a purpose.

Even that stone.

Even you.

[Beppi speaking in Italian]

[Beppi speaking in Italian]

[Beppi speaking in Italian]

Ah! 110 Via Margutta.

Fellini's address-in Rome!

[Beppi speaking in Italian]

[Cosima growls]

...where we fell in love.

[Cosima growls and grunts]

[Mario speaking in Italian]

Hi, Mario.

I just wanted to tell you

that I'm coming to Rome.

No, no, no, Lucia,

no more appo...

[Man whispers] Sylvia...

[knocking]

[news reporter on television]

And now to the loss

of a cinematic legend.

Italian director

Federico Fellini died today

after two weeks in a coma.

He was 73.

[Claire] "Bats and cats,

we're all mad here.

I'm mad, you're mad."

"How do you know I'm mad?"

said Alice.

"You must be,"

said the cat,

"Or you wouldn't

have come here."

[fades] Alice didn't think

that proved it at all.

However, she went on..."

[children laughing

indistinctly]

[thunder rumbles]

[news reporter on television] How

long would you like to make films?

How many more years would you

like to keep doing this?

[Fellini on television]

Let's see. For 200 years.

[man speaking in Italian]

[Sylvia speaking Italian]

[woman laughing]

[Sylvia speaking Italian]

There are three things

I like most:

love, love and love!
