I'm so glad you're here.
How is school?
Fine, but now I'm working,
maybe I won't go any more.
Don't do that, Toto.
You'll end up with egg on your face.
What does that mean?
It means
that this is no job for you.
and you need the Paradiso.
But it won't last.
One day you'll move on
to other things.
Other things.
More important things.
Much more important.
I know. Now I've lost my sight,
I see better.
Things I never saw before.
Thanks to you, who saved my life,
I'll never forget.
Don't look so gloomy.
I'm not gaga yet. Want proof?
Let's see. Right now, for instance,
the film is out of focus.
Check it.
You're right, it's out of focus.
How did you do?
It's difficult to explain.
Watch the screen! Pigs, bastards!
I told you, it doesn't catch fire.
Progress always comes too late.
Workers of the world
She's new.
Not bad.
She's nice.
Her father's a bank manager,
a big shot.
Jerks it off with his shirt,
not to get his hands dirty.
Faster, faster.
Last one's a sissy.
Excuse me.
You dropped this.
I hadn't noticed.
- I'm Salvatore. And you?
- Elena. My name is Elena.
I wanted to tell you
the other day, at the station
A small projector?
Is it your footage?
What do you see?
A young bull being slaughtered.
A big pool of blood on the ground.
Another young bull steps
over the blood
on its way to its death.
What do you see now?
Nothing, it's out of focus.
A woman.
It's a woman!
Yes, a girl I saw at the station.
What's she like?
She's very nice.
My age, slim, with long brown hair.
Big blue eyes, and a clear gaze.
A beauty spot on her lip.
Very small, you only see it close.
And when she smiles, you feel
I don't know.
Love!
I know how it is.
The blue-eyed ones are the worst.
You can never get close to them,
whatever you do.
"The bigger the man,
the deeper the imprint.
"And when he's in love,
he suffers knowing it's a dead end."
It's nice what you say, but sad.
I didn't say it. It was John Wayne
in "The Shepherd of the Hills".
You old sneak!
Why are you running?
Because
I wanted to tell you
You remember when ?
Nice day, isn't it?
Yes, lovely day.
Excuse me, I must go. Bye!
What a jerk!
"Nice day, isn't it?" How stupid!
I told you.
You thought I was kidding you.
Take it from me.
The blue-eyed ones are the worst.
But why? There must be a way
to make her understand.
Forget it, Toto.
Feelings can never be understood.
- You can't explain them.
- Oh, you made the world!
With all due respect to the Lord,
who made it in two or three days,
I'd have taken longer, but certain
things I could have done better.
Like I said, you have all the answers.
I'll tell you a story.
Just for you, Toto.
Let's sit down.
God Almighty!
Once upon a time,
a king gave a feast.
The most beautiful princesses
were there.
A soldier who was standing guard
saw the king's daughter go by.
She was the loveliest one,
and he fell instantly in love.
But what is a simple soldier
next to the daughter of a king?
One day he managed to meet her
and told her he could no longer
live without her.
The princess was so taken
by the depth of his feeling
that she said to the soldier:
"If you can wait for 100 days
"and 100 nights under my balcony,
"I shall be yours."
With that, the soldier went
and waited one day, two days,
then ten, twenty.
Each evening the princess looked out,
and he never moved!
Always there,
come rain, come thunder.
Birds shat on his head,
bees stung him, but he didn't budge.
After 90 nights,
he had become
all dry and pale.
Tears streamed from his eyes.
He couldn't hold them back.
He didn't even have the strength
to sleep.
And all that time,
When the 99th night came,
took his chair and left.
Right at the end?
Right at the end, Toto.
Don't ask me what it means,
I don't know.
If you can figure it out, you tell me.
Only one copy?
You know I need two. One for the
Paradiso and one for the next town.
You promised,
and I've committed myself.
You screw it up,
and I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll use the one copy
for the two cinemas.
I'm from Naples, and you don't screw
around with people from Naples.
I swore on the Virgin Mary to my son.
We see the crib. The child's asleep.
Get something, hurry!
"The lawyer told me. Now I know."
The lawyer told me. Now I know.
"Everyone must know.
"Yes, everyone must know."
Yes, everyone must know.
"Do you believe me?"
Do you believe me?
"Yes, I believe you."
Yes, I believe you.
"Our own home.
How I've dreamed of it!"
- Our own home.
- How I've dreamed of it!
"Tonino!"
Tonino! Mama! My son!
"The End"
THE END:
I don't like it!
I cut the end credits to go faster.
Bring me Part One.
I'll show a newsreel.
I'll call the police. Take him!
Just a minute!
Here's Part One.
Hurry!
The house is packed.
Get a move on!
- Wait, will you?
- They're going mad.
Bunch of animals! Shut up!
Toto, what's going on?
They're furious.
It's been half an hour.
What do you want me to do?
Where's that son of a b*tch?
I'll be ruined.
Calm down, it won't be long.
I'll have you know I left my wife
sick in bed in order to watch this film.
And I still haven't seen a thing.
If it doesn't start in 10 minutes,
we want our money back.
Or I'll wreck the place with this cane.
Calm down. Can I say something?
I'll show you Part One again.
We want to know how it ends.
Quiet!
I've already seen it,
I'll tell you how it ends.
Please, don't ask me why.
What is it, Alfredo? Not now,
I must administer the sacrament.
I need you urgently.
I have terrible doubts
tormenting my soul.
- Father, I have sinned.
- Do that later.
Please, don't turn around.
- Just act normal. It's Salvatore.
- How did you get in here?
- That's a terrible thing to say.
- I know.
Take the miracle
of the loaves and fishes
I've often wondered.
How is it possible?
I had to talk to you
You're beautiful, Elena
I can never find the words
when I see you
I get the shivers
I don't know how other people do it
It's my first time
But I'm in love with you
Father, I have sinned
I absolve you from your sins
in the name of the Father
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit
You're even prettier when you laugh
You're very sweet, and I like you
But I'm not in love with you
I'll wait
For what?
For you to love me
Listen to me
Every night, after work
I'll wait outside your house
When you change your mind
open your window, I'll understand
You understand now?
Yes finally, I see the light
Next time, don't talk heresy
You survived the fire in the cinema
But from the eternal fire,
no one can save you
15 seconds to the New Year!
Look, the car's still running in!
How will we get home?
Oh, God! It's my father
Good evening!
Outdoor cinema tonight
at the Imperia
Last one's a sissy!
Standing room only!
Come on in! The show's just
