Malina Page #5

---

I will, eventually!

Anyway, you didn't tear it.

Thanks for leaving it.

You left me, too, Malina,

I should say,

you abandoned me.

Nonsense!

I mean, you left me alive...

and that's all!

What does "alive" mean?

What's not livable!

You forgot long ago

that I exist with you.

Me? Forget you?

Let's go!

No! You go first. I'll follow you.

No, I'm alone.

Yes, I'll call you back.

Coming, Ivan?

I can't sit here!

Don't you see someone's

already sat here?

Sorry! You must be hungry.

Let's go back in.

I'll eat now.

At first I couldn't bear it.

We can move on.

I hated to think that another

couple like us,

will eventually sit there...

We needn't go in.

But I will, for my last meal.

I'll know how it feels to get

your head chopped off.

Please... could... could you...

Could you...

What?

Just a second...

Tell me...

Can you help me?

Wait a second...

I... I...

I don't know where I am.

I'm lost...

Where's Ungargasse?

There'll be no tomorrow...

People won't be...

they'll never be...

it'll be the end.

Don't look at me that way,

it's mine!

Get up!

I once met someone handsome...

That's what devastated you?

Just the opposite!

How does someone so handsome,

make you dream more than

anyone on earth?

Beauty's nothing!

I know...

It's minor to you, but it's vital,

and I've seen it.

I've never been happy,

but I've seen beauty!

Stand up!

Make an effort, dammit!

Don't just let go!

Let go? Me? Let go of you?

Letting go of yourself!

I'll stand up. For you alone!

Just as I eat only to please you.

Kill him!

Did you say something?

Kill him!

I can't. It's impossible.

He's my life!

Kill him!

The prince will become a toad.

At least I won't hurt anyone.

You're deathly pale. Sick?

You need rest.

No, I'm in good health.

We'll phone each other.

Yes.

I said we'll phone each

other now and then.

I understand.

We'll call each other.

What's the point?

Why scream so?

We'll phone each other.

I've a lot to do these days.

Now's the time to call him,

as we said.

What are you doing?

If no one calls,

this wall must open!

It's got to yield!

Can't control yourself?

No, I can't!

Soon nothing will stir my memory.

Lie down, please!

It's got to yield!

It's got to yield!

Nothing yields only because you will it to.

I've lost the only odor

that let me sleep peacefully.

If you've loved someone,

that one should not exist any longer.

Never again.

It's time for you to leave.

You have everything you need?

- Of course!

You'll be OK alone?

- Of course.

Sorry about the dress.

I've a mad desire to wear it today.

Today I'm in a mood to wear it.

How do you always know my size?

I can beg off...

No, you go ahead!

Thanks so much for the dress.

I must speak to you today.

I must say it to you now.

You've already taken three.

That's enough!

No, one and a half!

Can't you see one's cut in half?

I counted them this morning.

Three are missing.

Two and a half, maximum.

And halves don't count.

Sleep well.

You don't understand anything!

You say something?

Please, one more. I need it!

I can't stand it! Oh please!

No more for you!

Please!

Let's go to sleep.

One more! Just one! Please!

My last will.

Here's what I'd like

to preserve of my life:

Malina's beautiful voice,

but none of my fine words

in fits of sweet excitement.

I will not swallow 40 pills,

for Ivan's sake,

so that Ivan doesn't feel guilty.

To his Excellence Malina

I'll do no harm,

only because I don't want

to harm Ivan.

Ivan is not guilty.

How long's this wall been cracked?

When did you notice it?

When did these shadows appear

over the radiator?

There has to be something

on the wall.

Since we don't hang pictures.

I need white walls,

intact walls.

I hate wounded walls.

Is that all you can put on?

Why always my old bathrobe?

I've nothing else to put on left.

Something must've gone astray...

A man, a woman...

It's a strange madness.

What words? And all a mistake.

I don't think so.

But it is here and today?

Yes, sure...

You must keep me, Malina.

How should I treat you?

I hate you!

You say something?

You must keep me, please.

It's not true...

What I said to you.

I'll never believe

another thing you say.

Never again.

What are you doing?

Come and sit down.

No more letters, anyway.

Are you done?

What are you up to?

Get us some coffee.

If you like, I'll go at once.

My kingdom!

My wondrous country,

that I held in my mortal hands!

My country...

My wondrous country,

that I held in my mortal hands!

My country, now no bigger

than this flame.

Don't burn! Don't!

I must not burn!

Malina...

Yes?

If you don't hold me now, it's murder.

Murder?

Yes.

One you won't have committed.

Wrong number.

Should I tell you the number?

No, there's no woman here.

There's no one here.

There was never a woman

here by that name.

My name?

It was murder!
