The Tiger and the Snow Page #2
That's true beauty, like those lines there,
that I want left there forever.
Erase it all, we've got to start,
the lesson's over.
See you Wednesday... Thursday.
Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.
The room's all yours, Professor Browning.
Thank you Signor De Giovanni.
Please don't, I'll do it.
Still having problems with the principal?
Lots, about the course,
I'd like to discuss it with you.
Can we sleep together tonight?
Nancy!
Last time we slept together it snowed,
it was the coldest
most beautiful day in January.
- Lets sleep together.
- The kids'll be back.
It's laying down that you see the sky.
Don't you like me anymore?
I had such a wonderful time with you,
why did you want to cut it so short?
When I fell in love with you...
I fell in love with you
because you fell in love with me.
And a wonderful fall it was.
What are you doing this evening?
- Nothing.
- Let's sleep together tonight.
Attilio, we've gotta go.
Hi Ermanno.
Do you remember where I left the car?
- Near the entrance.
- Thank you, Nancy.
Knock-knock, I look through the peep-hole,
all I see is hair.
I open the door and a bear says,
"Hello Ermanno, give me a Kiss."
I ask, "Who are you?"
and she, "Don't you recognize me, my son?"
No!
And she starts crying.
I say, "I'm sorry, Mamma",
and put my arms around her,
then this morning
when I woke up I felt so happy.
- Your mother was a bear?
- I'd just never realized it before.
I kept dreaming about vultures,
hyenas, crocodiles...
Good for you.
I always have the same dream.
The same animal?
No, no animal at all.
I'm at a kind of wedding
with lots of people,
and then in she walks,
She ends up telling me,
"I want to make love with you, kiss me."
So what do you do?
I pass out.
- It's wonderful.
- What kind of animal is she?
It's her, the love of my life.
What kind of a dream is that?
It's like saying I like cherries
and in my dream I eat cherries.
It denotes a primitive subconscious.
- A Dream that won't come true?
- Come true!
If I like a woman,
I dream about her in a symbolic fashion,
she's a penguin bearing
the mythological baggage of penguins,
or she's a iguana, that's a mature dream.
- You think?
- What, me? Sigmund Freud thinks so.
Freud.
Dream about an animal?
Right on time, just starting.
Love thou thy dream,
all base love scorning.
Love thou the wind, and here take warning.
That dreams alone can truly be.
For this dream I come to thee.
He's the greatest living Arab poet.
Beautiful that poem, eh?
- Rips you apart.
- Sure does.
You'll hear the rest.
Fuad concluded with a homage to one
of his inspirational mentors.
for his home country,
decided to leave France
and go back to Baghdad.
Let's hope this senseless war
never breaks out.
Let's thank Fuad, goodbye to all.
Damn, I think it's over!
- Shall we go eat?
- I want to go and say hello to him.
Fuad, remember that name.
In four, five years' time,
he'll get the Nobel Prize.
It'll be a wrench to leave
Paris after 18 years...
- When will you go back to Baghdad?
- As soon as possible.
How much time do you need
to finish the book?
The publishers want it in September,
but I refuse to rush.
I'd like to spend at least
a week with you.
We'll find the time.
Goodbye, see you soon.
Attilio!
- Fuad!
- Where were you?
Back there, I got here a bit late
but I enjoyed the whole thing.
You've got fans here,
when I quoted you at the start
they all cheered, did you hear it?
Vittoria!
Your book.
Oh, thank you.
I'm losing my mind.
- Do you have time for dinner?
- Let's have dinner together.
Then I'll leave you to it.
Goodbye.
Dear Attilio, it's as
if no time has passed at all.
Attilio?
Fuad, thanks, I'll say goodbye then.
Goodbye, Fuad, goodbye.
- When are you leaving?
Plenty of time!
Love you.
- What about dinner?
- Sure, any time.
- You coming to eat then?
- Sure, any time.
- I came here to have tea by myself.
- So did I.
We can have it together! Two teas.
Mr. Poet Attilio De Giovanni,
there's absolutely no question.
I don't want to disturb you, heaven forbid.
Since we don't see each other often...
You see,
the two of us, not immediately...
Why do you keep pestering me?
Haven't you got anything else
to think about?
Someone said they even saw you in Verona!
No, wait!
What's that? Me, in Verona?
- Who told you that?
- Settembrini.
He saw you outside my hotel for hours.
Listen, I was not in Verona.
Why on Earth should
I care if you're in Verona
or Piazza dell'Esquilino?
I don't believe it, you were there too?
and I don't care.
Why don't you come to my place?
To see where I live,
sleep, read, write, wash the dishes.
Come on, let's walk round Rome,
you can come over and...
We can be together.
Yes? Huh?
You tell me who's speaking, you called me.
Valeri who?
Yes, I was at Fuad's, why?
In fact, this jacket isn't mine.
This phone isn't either!
This jacket is five times too big,
yours must be too small.
Pay more attention!
He took my jacket instead of his.
I can't, I'm in a meeting.
Yes, okay.
I'm in the bar round the corner,
but right away, I'm busy.
Signor Valeri, over here,
how did you mistake my jacket for yours?
- Yes in fact, I didn't...
Signor Valeri mistook my jacket for his.
- Didn't you realize it was tight?
- I didn't put it on.
Now I know why you didn't realize it.
All's well that ends well, goodbye.
Some people are so scatter-brained.
He hardly knew what to say,
at one point he said, I love you,
let's get married.
What would you have said?
- The check, please.
- No, let me.
- Thanks.
- Don't mention it.
Vittoria!
How much is it?
Keep the change.
The tea had absolutely no taste.
I want to see where you wash your dishes,
take me home.
"SURPRISE!"
- Let's walk up, I prefer it.
- Me too.
stairs holding your arm,
now you're no longer here,
there's a void beneath every step."
- Dammit, I tripped...
- Serves you right.
We're here, this is me.
I trip on that wretched step every day.
Go ahead.
Please do come in, Vittoria.
Here we are,
Vittoria and I together at home...
I always leave the candles on.
And the television.
I always like to have things ready
in case Vittoria comes...
I'll go make some coffee,
I'll make you some too,
it won't take a sec...
What's the matter?
Nothing, I just burnt myself slightly.
- The coffee is ready?
- I make it in case Vittoria comes.
Have a seat.
It was coming to the boil as we came in.
Here.
I always like to tell the truth.
seeing you sitting here
drinking coffee, it makes my heart race.
You're so beautiful!
Women are so beautiful
when they're about to make love.
Why not live together
for the rest of our lives? It's easy.
