Excuse me...
...I think I know why you do it
What? The bicycle?
Before... with your family
I'm tired
Where are you?
Come in
Did you hear that? It's Beethoven!
One drop plus one drop...
...makes a bigger drop, not two
May I?
When I don't know what to say
I ask for a cigarette too
But I've never learnt to smoke
It's too hard
You have to learn...
...to not smoke,
to do important things
Such as?
Some wine?
One needs bigger ideas
I was selfish, before
I wanted to save just my family
Everyone must be saved...
the whole world
What?
It's simple
You see the candle?
All right, but...
Why do you say "all right"?
You're confusing me
You must cross the water
with a lighted candle
- Which water?
- The hot water
St. Catherine's pool...
...by the hotel...
...the water that steams
All right, when?
Now
I can't do it
They won't let me
When I light the candle...
...and get into the water...
...they pull me out
They throw me out
They shout "You're mad!"
Understand?
All right
All right?
It's all wrong!
Help me
All right, but...
Of course I will
Where's the Russian who's going
to Bagno Vignoni?
The taxi's here
It's late
I must go
Why me of all people?
- You've children?
- Two, a girl and a little boy
Is your wife pretty?
- You know the Madonna of Childbirth?
- Yes. Piero della Francesca
She's like that, but all black
Take the candle
We're planning something big in Rome
Where are you?
Answer me!
I'm scared of being alone
I know what you're thinking,
but that's enough now
It's wrong to keep thinking
about the same thing
Is this the end of the world?
Stand back!
They're bringing them out!
I knew they were in there,
I used to listen in secret!
The water had run out
in my bathroom... do you mind?
I thought you'd left
No, I'm still here
- I'm pleased
- You don't look it
Look what he gave me
- Who?
- Domenico
You're afraid of everything,
full of complexes
You're not free
You all seem to want freedom,
but when you get it...
...you don't know
what to do with it...
...or what it is
That's enough...
It must be this country,
the air one breathes here
Because in Moscow I met
some wonderful men
What do you all want from me? This?
Not you!
Because you're some kind of saint
You're interested in Madonnas
You're different
One "intellectual" tried to keep me
locked up!
Can't I ever meet the right person?
I don't mean you, you're the worst
But I swear I'll find my kind of man!
And I have,
he's waiting for me in Rome
You dress badly, too
And you bore me stiff
You're the kind I'd sleep with...
...rather than explain why
I don't want to
What are you saying?
Don't you see?
I find myself in a most
humiliating position
I've had enough
I can't take any more
I'd like to sleep for ten days
and blot you out from my mind
Maybe there's nothing to blot out
because you don't exist
The problem's mine
Why do I like idiots?
...men without charm?
I look young but I know what charm is
Just go away
You know, the night I met you...
...I dreamt about a soft worm
with lots of legs
It fell on my head
It was poisonous, it stung me
I kept shaking my head...
...until it fell to the ground.
I tried...
I tried to squash it
before it reached the wardrobe
but it was no good
I kept missing it
I just couldn't squash it
Since that night...
...I keep touching my hair
Thank God there's been nothing
between us
Just the thought makes me sick!
She's mad
Run back to your wife!
Though you nearly betrayed her
You're a pig like the others!
- Anything else?
- Hypocrite!
Let's go and listen to some music
- What's happened?
- Nothing, nothing
Oh God! The General and his
Chinese music!
But no one's driving me away!
