Summertime Page #2

and one day wonderful thing happened.

I knew what I was looking at. Kind of.

Would you have seen

any of Dieaga's painting?

He had a one-man show in New York.

He sold the painting to the Toledo Museum.

You must be very successful.

Successful?! That show was four years ago.

Well, come along.

Don't go. Let's have a drink.

I like to but

this nonsense is wrecking my digestion.

Pardon me, no disrespect for Tanniea.

You're always on the same line.

How to make friends and influence people.

I'm sure he

didn't know what he was saying.

Of course he didn't.

He is insensitive man. Has no heart. Not much.

He is one fool with miserable belly.

He probably likes French food.

I must say I did.

It's so refined. In ltaly,

you sit down to eat and eat a meal.

In Paris, you sit down, what do you eat?

A sauce.

In America, buy Mac, whatever it is,

he sits down,

What does he eat? Birds, only birds.

And you want me to get

excited about a man like that?

Good-by.

Have a drink.

No, thank you.

Drago? Is that right?

Right. C'mon, we gotta get going.

Cookie, have a drink.

That will do you good.

No thanks.

Drago before you go?

No, we're late for dinner.

We take you up on that drink, though.

Sure. Well, that leaves us.

Or does it? I guess it doesn't.

I'm dining with an old friend.

Would you care to come with us?

No, thank you.

When in ltaly, you should meet ltalians.

Mr. Ferstino is in the government.

Please join us.

Two is a company.

A sad sin.

Mr. Ferstino and I are,

for several years now,

We've been unexcited.

Well, pardon me.

Sure you won't have a short one?

I don't want it. Thank you.

May be I can persuade my self. Drago?

How do you pronounce that?

There are two people

back in the states I wish to hear.

They're darling couple.

Rather like the Yaegers, really.

Only older.

Not older than me.

Nobody is older than me.

I am. In ltaly, age is an asset.

If it is, I'm loaded.

Now you do have to go.

Are you sure you're not come with me?

No, thank you.

Okay.

There is no holding me.

I guess I'll have

dinner by myself tonight.

Don't let you on a rush.

No, indeed.

After sunset,

she rushes around like American.

She has a friend, Alfredo,

All day long, she is only recuperating

herself from the night before.

I should be so sick.

You know, Miss. Hudson, those miracles,

they can happen sometimes.

But you must give a little push to help.

I'm not used to say things like that.

Gondola, lady?

Are you looking for something, lady?

No, no.

Not today.

Tonight.

Not today, not tonight.

Tomorrow night is better than tonight.

Look,

you be a good boy and run along home.

Home? I got no home.

You mean you got no place to live?

I live in a boat. Postcard, lady?

Okay.

You take this and get some food with it

Some good nourishing food.

The famous Piazza.

Don't change a thing. Not one thing.

Waiter.

Smile, Lloyd, smile.

Well, I'm off.

Where you're going?

Shopping.

Buy myself, cookie.

Some for me?

I gave you yesterday.

Give me a cigarette?

You're too little to smoke.

But I smoke.

Not with my help.

Just one cigarette.

You know a sucker when you see one.

Easy does it.

Thank you.

You okay, lady.

So long, cookie.

Does anyone here speak English?

Yes.

I wonder

if you can tell me the price of

that red goblet in the window?

One minute, please.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning. I want to ask the price of this goblet.

For this? 1 0,000 liras.

It is aging.

May l?

Please.

It is very beautiful.

It is a very beautiful color.

Perhaps you'll see the color better

if you took off your glasses.

Are you enjoying Venice?

Yes, I have, very much. Thank you.

It is heart of Venice to catch some.

Yes, I felt that.

You feel Venice. That's a wonderful feeling.

Have you a pair? Two?

No, I'm sorry.

This is the only one I have.

How much did you say it was?

To you, 1 0,000 liras. It is genuine.

Wrap it up. I'll take it.

You take it? At this price?

That is the price isn't it?

Excuse me, Miss.

Have you bought many things in ltaly?

No, I havn't. This is the first time.

I just came yesterday.

Forgive me. But in ltaly,

you must not say so quick" I take it."

You must bargain.

Why?

It is a part of buying and selling.

I'll give it you for 8,700 liras.

No, you don't.

Why?

Because it's not fair.

But I want to.

Yes, but I bought it for 1 0,000 lira.

Then I give it to you for

buying in ltaly.

Well, I give in. I mean, I give up.

Thank you.

Very good.

I'll wrap it up.

You'll wrap it up.

Thank you.

Will you be staying long in Venice?

That depends.

I mean...I feel if I can stay forever.

That is a fact what it says.

By the way, if it were possible

to get another goblet,

Would you wish to have it?

Oh, yes.

I think it is possible I may find one.

Perhaps you would call again?

Or perhaps I could send it to your hotel?

Where you're staying?

In Venice.

What?

I mean, in Pensioni Fiorini.

Oh, yes.

Thank you.

Hope to see you again.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Your glasses.

You'll wear it or carry it?

Carry them. Thank you.

Good-by.

Good-by.

Dearest Ben and Betty:

Venice is as unbelievable as fairy tale,

How I wish you're here.

This time, we'll be a quartet.

Mio Amico has silver-gray hair.

Cookie, you're a very pretty girl.

Yes. I know.

But I'm not interested

in looking like the women in paintings.

You are.

C'mon.

No, You are.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Someday when you're not so busy,

how about you showing me the town.

I've been hurrying for ten minutes.

I'll call a boat.

Ok.

We could go swimming.

Sure.

We're out to Harry's bar.

The book says that's a must.

Ok.

Will you excuse us?

Sure. Have fun.

Be seeing you.

Yes.

Bye.

Bye.

Hey! Why don't l

give Harry his big break tonight.

Do you mind if I come along with you?

I always buy my guy a drink.

Sure.

We'll meet some people.

How about bring them, too?

Are there too many of them?

Just another couple.

We're going on to dinner together.

Sure. Have fun.

Oh, Eddie.

Miss. Hudson.

Coffee.

Good evening.

Good evening.

You frightened me.

How did you know I was here?

(ltalian.)

Oh, I like it this way.

Lady, you got any brothers and sisters?

Three, cookie.

You very lucky. Three brothers

and sisters. I got three of these.

Presents. Souvenirs of ltaly.

You're impossible.

Ok. Ok.

Now, look. Cookie, I'm lost.

Do you know Campos St. Bonavus?

Yes.

You take me there. Ok?

Yes, Miss.

I wash face. You want to wash face?

Ok. I'll wash my face, too.

Wonderful!

C'mon. Iet's go.

Your legs gone, lady?

You say the cuttest things.

Look, take that and that. All that.

And you stay here.

Ok.

Very difficult for ladies.
