Key.

Key.

Key, please.

It goes
without a key.

Key.

Goes without a key.

Key!

No key.

Key!

Bobby! Bobby!

"To Edward.
Love to Edward."

Thank you.

Bobby!

Bobby, Bobby!

And on the third row,
number one, Dickie Lauder,

making his tremendously
popular return

with a Ferrari,
4209 in under 34...

Bertrand!

Who?

Uh, Holtzmann
and Mondave.

Bertrand!

Listen to the prayers

of your family
assembled before You,

and bring closer to you
your dispersed children.

Remember our friend
Bertrand,

whom you have
recalled to your side.

Because he has been baptized
in the death of your Son,

let him participate in
the resurrection of your Son.

J'mais.

I-I will take
the spare car...

We're being
premature here,

'cause there's
priorities.

I'm not gonna get
in my car

until I know what was wrong
with Modave's car.

It's the same car.

Bobby--

I went over the car
a dozen times.

I couldn't find
anything wrong.

Don't give me nothin' was wrong.
Please, fellas.

What did it, now?
If nothing was wrong,
what did it?

We haven't ruled out
driver error.

Don't talk to me
about driver error.

I didn't come to hear you
tell me something

that any ten-year-old kid
could tell me.

Driver error?

Now come on,
what did it?

The track was clean.

He wasn't goin' fast,

and there was
no reason for him

to make a mistake
on that corner.

Now, what did it?

What's today?
The eighth?

No, the ninth. We've still
got three weeks till Jarama.

I don't care. I'm not
gonna run my car at Jarama

till I know what's wrong
with his car.

I'm gonna go over there.

- Maybe something
took his attention.
- What'd you say, Bobby?

I said maybe something
took his attention.

Some--

Something headed
for the track--

a dog, a rabbit,
or something.

Rabbit?

Who the hell knows?

What about Holtzmann?
Did you hear anything?

His family sent him
to Leukerbad.

He's got
a broken neck.

Hello.

Yeah?

- Who is it?
- Your brother.

My brother?
What do you mean,
my brother?

Shall I tell him
you're not here?

No, no.
I'll talk to him.

Hello.

It's Leonard.
I didn't mean to throw you.

Leonard, where are you?

Here in Paris.

What are you doin'
in Paris?

- How long you been here?
- Two weeks, Robert,
- you know that.

I've been leaving messages
for two weeks.

Don't give me
the old crapola.

- What is it you want?
- I wanna talk to you.

- Can I come see you?
- No, no, don't come.

This is
a friend's apartment.
Don't come here.

Can I--why don't I meet
you at the airport?

I told you he phoned
when you were at Zolda.

You didn't tell me
he was in Paris.

You were driving.

Was that the time
to announce

that your brother
is in Paris?

Do you really want

to start having
all your messages?

Relax.
Everything is packed.

There's no need
to rush...

and you're perfect.

You know that?

You're
absolutely perfect.

Where's my watch?

She doesn't get it, Robert.
Not that I get it either.

You never answer a letter,

you never call,

but she still
talks about you.

It's not easy hearin' about
how you made her laugh,

what you'd eat,
and all that crap.

Make her laugh?

What do you mean,
I made her laugh?

Your impersonations
always make people laugh,
you know.

What impersonations?

Your impersonations,
I don't know.

Mae West?

Mae West.

I did an impersonation
of Mae West?

You and Daddy would do
impersonations of Mae West.

He'd tap-dance,

you'd sashay around
the room like Mae West,

and you'd sing...

uh, um, "You've got me..."

It made Mother laugh,
made all of us laugh.

What did we do, Leonard,
live in different houses?

S'il vous plaît,
another drink.

You don't even remember
him tap-dancing?

He'd roll up
the little rug
by the table,

and he'd do
a tap dance!

Take it easy.

What's the matter
with you?

Hey, Bobby!

There's a parcel of land
back there for you.

Things are gonna be left
back there for you,

and I don't know
if you got a lawyer

or how you wanna handle it.

I don't know.

I don't know
either, Leonard.

I don't know
about handling it.

It has to do with
what is legal.

There are certain things
you have to do, Robert.

How's the printing business?
How you doing?

The printing business
is a bore, Robert,

but your nephews are great,
in case you're interested.

We have a new playroom
with a ping-pong table.

Mother comes downstairs
and watches the kids
play ping-pong,

even though she can't
see the goddamn ball!

For God's sakes,
will you help me out
one time, Robert?

Don't lay it all
on me, okay?

- I don't wanna
lay it all on you.
- It's legal matters.

She talks about some land
she wants you to have.

What's the matter with her?
She sick?

No, she's not sick,
but she's 70 years old,

and she's wrappin' stuff
around her legs.

I don't want
any land, Leonard.

I don't give a goddamn
if you want the land.

I'm talkin' about
legal matters.

You know something,
big shot?

You haven't
changed a bit.

Not a bit.

There's some pictures
she sent for you.

Tell me something.

You wanna know
when she dies?

I'm serious.

If you don't wanna know,
I won't tell you.

Yes or no?

When your mother dies,

do you want me
to get in touch with you?

S'il vous plaît, check.

No, no, don't
bring any bill,

just answer
the question yes or no.

When the mother dies,

does the son
wanna know about it?

Leonard!

You go home, Leonard.

Go home.

Rabbits.

There were rabbits
at Silverstone,

and there were rabbits
on the track at Barcelona.

I always said
Spencer Black lost his leg

'cause there was something
headed for the track.

I think I'll go see
Karl Holtzmann.

His family sent him
to Leukerbad.

Deerfield, what the hell!

You have
to tell 'em, Karl,

no more starch
in the collars.

Bobby.

You come all the way
up here from Paris?

That's beautiful.

You're busted up
for a while.

What am I
supposed to do,

sit down there
and celebrate?

Well, you might.
You won.

How's the pain, Karl?
They killin' it for you?

Yeah, that's okay now.
It's all over.

Good.

Tommy says hello,
Mariel, everybody.

That's great.
You're staying for dinner.

Sure.

I can't understand
how that man

made a mistake
on that corner.

He made a mistake.

He misjudged the turn.

Etwas Spargel, bitte.

Tommy. You know Tommy,
Modave's mechanic.

He had some crazy idea

that maybe there was something
headed for the track--

a dog, a rabbit,
something.

I saw no dog.

That's what I said, but we
don't know for sure, do we?

He took too much risks.
There was no dog.

I was thinking,

maybe it was
the reflection of something,

a lady's
pocket mirror or...

Why do you make it
so complicated?

I'm not making it
complicated, Karl.

I'm trying
to make it simple.

If there was something
on that track,

I want to know about it.

Have some fruit.

How long are you
going to stay?

What's the matter,
Karl, did I...

Did I say something
that upset you?

No, it's okay.

Wie spaet ist es,
bitte?

7:00.

I have to phone
my children now,

and then I'll be back
and we'll watch

that ridiculous
entertainment

they are planning
for us.

Kann ich Ihre Butter
haben, bitte?

Kann ich Ihre
Butter haben?

I don't speak...

no sprechen
Sie German.

Eh, I'm sorry.

Could I have your butter,
please? Thank you.

- Kommen Sie.
- Nein.

Komm nahe.

Gute Nahrung.

I'm Lillian Morelli.

You're what?

I'm Lillian Morelli.

How do you do?

Do you have a name?

Yes, Bobby Deerfield.

You are a friend
of the auto racer?

- Yes.
- Do you race?

Do I race? Yes.

How do you come
to do that?

Just come to do it.

You are from America,
of course.

Yes.

Uh...Texas?

No.

California?

No.

You're from
a secret place
in America?

I'm from Newark.

- New York.
- No, no, no, Newark.

- It's in New Jersey.
- I don't know Newark.

Are you as famous
as your friend?

Am I as famous?

You are more famous,
and I should know it.

I'm sorry--so tell me,
you are more famous

because you drive
a faster car?

No.

Could I have
your bread, please?

Thank you.

Does your friend know
that you're the better driver?

I didn't say
I was a better driver.

I thought you said it.

Are you
the better driver?

Sometimes.

So you know many things
about death, about dying?

No.

You don't think
about dying.

But when you race,

there's always
the danger, no?

You don't think
about danger.

But you move
with such speed.

You don't think
about speed.

So why do you do it,
drive so fast?

I don't know,
just do it.

It seems so boring

to go in a circle
all the time.

Boring?

It's not boring.

Deerfield.
Deerfield?

Right.

I'm sorry,
I forgot your name.

Lillian.
Lillian Morelli.

Are you at the hotel?

Yeah.
You're a patient?

Do I look sick?

No. What's
wrong with you?

It's too bad
about your friend.

You have been broken
many times, I suppose.

No, never.

Never?

Never had
anything broken.

Extraordinary.

You think it's a trick?

May I sip from you?

Do you believe in it?

Magic?

No.

Destiny?

I don't know.

You don't know,
or no, no, you don't?

No, no, I don't.

Ja.

Please excuse me,
Bobby.

I'm tired now.
I must sleep.

Sure, sure.

It was really beautiful
you came to see me.

I'm sorry not
to be more fun.

Listen, if there's
anything I can do, Karl...

I mean anything.

Good.

Have a good drive
at Jarama.

Take care.

There is no plan, then.

What?

There is no plan,

unless of course
you believe in God.

Do you believe in God?

No.

Then everything's
more dangerous.

You will have breakfast
with your friend?

No, I leave
in the morning.

Tsk, what a pity.

I think it's kidneys
and eggs tomorrow--

unless, of course,
you have gout.

Do you have gout?

No.

Bon. Bon chance.
Au revoir.

Sorry. Do you know
what I think?

I think it's a trick.

Your medications.

The rules,
Mademoiselle Morelli!

Not my rules.

I'll come to death
on my own terms.

Ein whiskey, bitte.

Hey, Monsieur?
Monsieur?

C'est pour moi.

Uh, sprechen Sie
Englisch?

Yeah.

M-may I ask
you something?

The trick you did
with the violin...

Was there
a motor in it?

Was there a magnet
on the--on the cloth?

How'd you do that?

Magic.

- Please, may I?
- May you what?

Ride with you.
May I?

- Where you going?
- Down. How far do you go?

- How far do you go?
- Go to Milano.

So you could take me
to Florence.

Oh, no, wait a minute,
wait a minute.

- Have you been
checked out?
- What?

Have you been dismissed,
or freed, or--

It's not a prison here.

No, I didn't say
it was a prison,

but when you leave
a hospital--

You suggest I would leave
without paying my bill?

No, I didn't
say that,

but I don't know
if you're cured.

I'm fine, don't worry.
You won't catch anything.

I'm not worried--
I just don't want to be
responsible for you.

You think
I'm deceptive?

Deceptive?
I didn't say--

You are deceptive.

Oh, please, will ya?
It's 5:00 in the morning.

You deceived your friend.

- What are you, crazy?
- Why did you come up here?

Why did you
come up here?

I came up to see him.
What are you--?

Look...

You think you came
to make him feel better,

but you talked
about death and dying,

dogs and rabbits,
and you leave him upset.

Now you say
you're not deceptive
and I'm crazy.

Don't have to take me.
You can forget about it.

Get in.

Come on, get in.

If I upset you,
I'm sorry.

What makes you think
you upset me?

Newark isn't like this.

What?

- Is Newark
like this?
- No.

So how is Newark?

It's fine.

You have
a delicate touch.

When you race,
can you have such
a delicate touch?

Well, you hold
on tighter...

but there is a kind
of delicacy to it, yes.

It must be difficult
to be delicate

when death
could be so close.

It's even very feminine,
I think.

What?

The way you
touch the wheel.

What do you mean,
"feminine"?

It's all right.

The best men are always
feminine in some ways.

- What ways?
- The ways that
are feminine.

I don't mean
that you are homo.

You aren't, are you?

Nope.

It's not so terrible to have
the qualities of a woman.

People have said to me

I was like the man
in my family.

I was impressed by it.

I loved my father.

I have big hands
like my father. Look.

I didn't mean to suggest
that you are homo.

I have nothing
against homos.

That's good to hear.

I have always heard
that the men
who race in cars,

that the car's
really nothing

but an extension
of the man's penis.

Do you think
that's true?

It seems like
a fair question.

The motorbike,
for example.

I'm always hearing...

I know
you're always hearing,

but you don't know
anything about cars, see,

and you don't know
anything about racing.

Do you know anything
about racing?

No, only seems
boring, crazy...

and that I'm told
that the car's

really nothing
but an extension
of the man's penis.

Are there homos
in Newark?

Oh, yes.
We have them there.

They're all over
the streets.

We build 'em there.

We have homo factories.

Make you feel better?

No.

Do you want
to scream?

What?

Do you want to scream?

No.

- Was he a close friend?
- Who?

The driver
who was killed.

I knew him.
I drove with him.

Have you other friends
who have been killed?

Yeah.

Does it frighten you?

No, it doesn't.

Wouldn't you care...

Wouldn't you care
to scream with me?

No.

I think--I think
I'm going to scream.

Now--now you come
and scream too.

I'm not screaming.

Why?

- I don't want to scream.
- But why?

Because
I don't want to.

We can stop over
if you like.

I mean, we could
stop over for the night.

We could stop over
for the night,

or we could stop,
have something to eat,

or just drive
right on through,

whatever you
want to do.

- That's fine.
- What?

- Drive right on through?
- No, for the night.

Grazie.

Deerfield here.

I'm on my way
down to Milan

to check out
those half-shafts.

I had a thought:

is the steering linkage
in Modave's car intact?

Well, pull it out.
I want to check it.

Listen, also,
pull out mine.

No, I'm gonna be back
tomorrow night, late,

so have the film
there for me, okay?

Okay, take care.

Hello?

¿Como esta?

¿Que parte?

Me. It's Deerfield.

Oh, Deerfield.

Listen, I was calling you
about tomorrow.

Is there any particular time
you want to get started?

No, whenever you want.

Well, actually, I would like
to get going early if I could.

But, I mean,
if you want to sleep
or whatever, that's okay.

Whatever you want to do.

No, no, no, sunrise is fine,
or earlier if you want.

Look, why don't you call me
when you wake up?

- Fine.
- Okay.

Uh...good night, then.

- Hello?
- Hello?

I said good night.

Are you hungry,
Deerfield?

Hungry?

I could eat.

You eat and you eat
and you don't get fat.

You?

Are you married?

No. You?

No. Were
you married?

Was I married? Why?

You were married.

Once, for a minute.

You watch people eat,
but, uh, you don't eat.

Somebody told me that

the intestine
is 32 feet long,

but we control only
the first few inches of it.

Perhaps that's why you
don't eat. It's too risky.

Perhaps.

You're a careful man,
Deerfield.

You like to pick at me,
don't you?

I find you curious.

Curious?

- You're such a turtle.
- Turtle?

Nobody's ever called
me that before--a turtle.

Perhaps you are
the world's fastest turtle,

but just the same,
you are a turtle.

I'm sorry if I make
you uncomfortable.

You don't bother me.

I have musicians
in my family.

I've lately thought about
learning to play the cello.

Do you have musicians
in your family?

No. I don't know.
I don't think so.

What do you have
in your family?

You know, you're
a very difficult person

to have
a conversation with.

You know.

I mean, you--you--
you ask questions,

and, uh, I don't know
where they're coming from.

I don't know
what you're thinking...

or really thinking.

Would you like to know?

Um, sure.

You think my hand
is too large
to play the cello?

I don't know.

I don't know anything
about cellos.

You think it's
a strong hand?

What do you think?

I think...
it's a nice hand.

You know what
I'm thinking now?

What?

I would like you
to hold me.

I heard you gargle.

I always gargle.

Mm, I'll bet you do.

Hey, Lillian.

You kidding?

Hey.

Thank you.

Deerfield, look.

Where do you think
it's going?

- I don't know.
- Let's follow it.

What do you mean,
follow it?

In your car.

We can follow it
on the road.

How can you follow it?

We don't know
where it's going.

What do you care?

No, no, nobody knows
where it's going.

The guy in the balloon
doesn't know
where it's going.

You can't follow it.

Oh...

It's going away.

- Buon giorno, Vincenzo.
- Signorina!

Wait a moment.
I will give you something.

Thank you, Deerfield.

I'm sorry you wouldn't
scream with me.

I'm sorry you wouldn't
chase the balloon.

I hope you find
your rabbits.

It say "e piu dolce"--
It's more...sugar.

Eh, lovely.

You see?

Everything's sugar.

Sugar.

Sweeter.

Sweeter, sweeter!
That's right.

Okay, everything
is sweeter.

"...se si rischia,
se si rischia."

When you do the...no.

If you do this,

but you shouldn't--
how you say?

When you do it,
but you should not do it.

So...uh...ba--ba...

You should do it
and you shouldn't do it.

But take a...it's one word.
But take a...

- Chance?
- Chance, chance!

Si, si, si, si, bravo.

So, everything

is more sweeter
by take a chance.

A capito?

Safe and sound?

I thought
you'd be asleep.

Off and on.

How was Holtzmann?

He's...
He'll make it.

How was the road?

I expected you
yesterday.

Did you have trouble
on the road?

It took a little longer
than I expected.

How was Rome?

On strike.

I ran into
Overton there.

He was very nice
to me, as usual.

He still wants
to marry me.

What's his wife
say about that?

She's very fond of me.

Did you buy
something pretty?

Of course.

Would you like
to see it?

- Sure.
- Wait a minute.

I'll have a suit
made for you.

Soft, eh?

Did Holtzmann
upset you?

No.

What has upset you?

I'm not upset.

I'm tired.

Did you drive
back alone?

All alone.

Overton went to Bellagio
for a few days.

He wanted me
to come with him.

He called me
from there and...

he said he saw you.

I didn't see him.

He saw you.

Well, where was he,
in a tree?

We said we wouldn't lie.

I picked up a hitchhiker.
That's all, Lydia.

That's all.

Delvecchio phoned.

The film will be
here tomorrow.

What are we
supposed to do,

report every second
of our lives?

Not to lie!

That's all.

I will make you
an omelet.

I don't want an omelet.

I will make you an omelet,

and I don't give a damn
if you want an omelet.

That's it.

Why don't you
go on ahead?

I want to look at
that last piece again.

Slower.

Slower.

Slower.

Stop! Stop it.

Hey.

Lydia.

Hello, Lydia.

Delvecchio phoned
with the time

of the new driver.
Look.

He goes very fast,
I think.

Did he say anything
about Modave's car?

No.

It's time, Bobby.

- Bobby?
- I'm coming.

...three.

...three.

Don't move, Bobby.

How well do
you know Lillian?

Well,
we're acquainted.

Louder!

I drove her down
from Leukerbad.

Oh. Yes, she gave
you my cigars.

You are
the driver, huh?

Yes, yes.

You must be obsessed.
Are you obsessed?

I got letters
from the clinic.

She say me, she left
without so much as a...

- Do you speak Italian?
- No.

No.

So they telephoned to me,
"Where is your niece?"

You know, they find...

How can I say?

You understand?

They find
an independent patient,
and they worry.

I don't trust doctors.

I believe
we know ourselves

better than
they think we do.

I've never been ill
a day in my life.

Never consulted
a physician--

I mean,
in a professional way.

I never missed a meal
through inability to eat.

Eh, what?

- Good. That's good.
- Oh.

Can--can you tell me
where I can find her?

Is she in Florence?

- Who?
- Lillian, your niece.

Oh, Lillian! Yes.

If you're wise,

you will not
bother with her.

She's difficult,
outspoken...

like her mother.

Special.
Like my sister,
you know.

But if you want
to see her,

come and play
bocce with me.

Huh? Oh, do you
play bocce?

You know, bocce?

Yeah, no.

I will teach you!

She come to watch me,

unless she
is someplace else.

You give me
the game?

Nobody's ever
given me a game,

one person only...

and I would never play
with her again.

Oh, there is my baby!

You must never
let him win.

I have
your friend here.

I am playing
with your friend.

Do you see him?

How is my friend?

Still driving
in circles?

It's more complicated
than a circle.

Where have you been, baby?
He is looking for you.

Here I am.

So, what brings you
to Florence?

- Is there
racing here?
- No.

No, I, uh,
I was in Italy,

and I thought
I'd just stop by,

see if I could
figure you out.

Am I so complicated?

You make me feel
like you're complicated.

Must you wear
those glasses?

They keep me from
being recognized.

But mirrors--
they look like mirrors.

Must you
wear mirrors?

You want my hat?

Buy a mustache?

I don't want
to look at myself
when I talk to you.

I'll get mobbed
if I take 'em off.

Oh...my dressmaker is
three blocks from here.

I make you a bet:
take off the glasses,

and in three blocks,
you will not be recognized.

What'll we bet?

Um, a bottle of Chianti
and some cheese.

Make it a weekend
in the country.

I don't think you could
keep me interested

for a weekend
in the country.

Why?

I don't know...
feeling I have.

So, let's bet for
a bottle of Chianti
and some cheese.

Besides, you
won't win anyway.

Oh, no?

Watch.

Hey! Oh!

Bobby Deerfield!

Bobby Deerfield!

Hey, Bobby Deerfield!

How are you doing?

What are you
doing over here?

Do you like it?

I'll buy it for you.

May I buy it for you?

I never thought
I would see you again.

I never
thought I'd see you.

When do you race next?

When do I race?

Ten days.

Between the races,
what do you do?

I go on picnics.

And then you race again.

You don't have
much fun, do you?

Sure, I have fun.

What do you mean
I don't have fun?

I have fun.

You've spent
your whole life

trying not to die.

Why wouldn't you
go with me

for a weekend
in the country?

Because you
expected me to...

because I don't
have time,

and because...

because you are
not ready to spend

a weekend in
the country with me.

I'm not?

No, you are not.

Are you difficult
like your mother?

Who told you
about my mother?

Your uncle.

He was telling me
that she was...

very difficult,
very outspoken.

I'm told she was.

She died in the war.

I never knew her.

Your father?

He was as fat
as a walrus,

but he is dead too.

- He died on a beach.
- In the war?

No, in the summer
when I was 13.

Buon giorno,
signorina.

Buon giorno.

You picnic on my land,
but you are welcome.

What?

Would you like
to hear the story?

Sure.

Is that why you
came to Florence,

to hear the story
of my life?

I'm just trying
to figure you out, Lillian.

Try that.
I make it myself.

- Tomorrow,
I will fly...
- Hello?

...from these hills
in a balloon.

What?

So, the day was hot

and the water was cold.

What day?

The day
my father died.

- Your father died?
- That's a long time ago.

What?

Um...

My father stood
at the edge
of the beach,

put his toe
in the water,

and at the instant
he did,

he fell over dead.

Just like that.

Oh, um, um,

this is--
what's your name?

Carlos del Montanarro.

This is Bobby Deerfield.
You know him?

Bobby--oh, yes!
Si, si, si.

I am very honored,
Bobby Deerfield.

Now I must go.

Have a good time.

Be careful with snakes!

Who's that?

Carlos del Montanarro.

Where was I? Oh, yes.

My father's toe
in the water, yes.

As soon as his toe
touched the cold water,

he fell over dead,
just like that,

and then the people
ran to him

and they
looked at him,

this big walrus
of a man.

Jesus, he was
so enormous.

And...

Then someone put
their ear to him

and said,
"He is dead."

And then
someone said...

"There's a tiny hand,"
and no one understood.

And a woman began to scream
about this tiny hand

that was coming
from under my father,

and they rolled
my father over,

and they found
a little child under him...

with a pail and toys
and a shovel,

and no one knew
that when he fell,

he fell on
a tiny child

who was digging
in the sand.

And it was so strange,

because it was as if
my father had died

and in dying had laid
the child like an egg.

Do you believe it?

What do you think?

Do I believe it?

Yeah.

It's not true.
I made it up.

You made it up.

Was it good?

Why did you make it up?

Why would you make it up?

For my circulation.
I don't know.

I think, uh,

I need a little surprise
now and then.

Why don't you try it?

Who was that guy
with the salami?

Carlos del Montanarro.

You know...

you're playing with me.

You're trying
to keep your distance,

and you're
playing with me...

trying to confuse me.

Perhaps.

Who was that guy?

Now it's your turn.

Tell me anything,
a truth or a lie.

Even a lie is better
than "Newark is fine."

I don't want
to tell you a lie.

I don't want
to make up a story.

I don't want to do it.

Perhaps you
could learn.

It's very much
like screaming.

Who's Carlos
del Montanarro?

Come on, Lillian.

Who's the guy
with the salami?

I don't know.

Who is Bobby Deerfield?

My apartment
is near the river.

We could finish the wine
there if you would like.

Okay?

Thank you.

My gallery,
Bobby Deerfield.

Want some coffee?

I make some coffee for me.

Lillian?

No park.
No, no, no.

Please, signora,
don't smoke.

Don't smoke.
Very dangerous.

We're leaving
in a few minutes.

Hello.

- Deerfield, you found me.
- I found you.

I thought you might have
told me that you were going.

It's difficult
to talk sometimes.

It is difficult.

To a good wind,
Deerfield!

You know, Lillian,

that I made
a special trip?

I did. I came
all the way down

from Paris
just to see you.

I really
appreciate it.

You do.

And you show
your appreciation
by leaving me,

so I wake up alone.
That how you show it?

Please, Deerfield,
don't pout.

One doesn't pout
at a regatta.

Pout? I'm not pouting.

We spend the day together,
the night together,

and then I wake up
and you're gone.

You could have
had the decency
to wake me up,

Lillian, tell me
you were going.

There's the guy
with the salami.

Merci beaucoup,
into the gondola!

Lillian, you're not
a very dependable person.

Why don't you come with us?
No rabbits in the sky.

- Please come!
- I'm the commander,
Deerfield.

I will do everything.
You like to come with us?

Everybody's ready?

We are going to...!

We are ready.

There's not many people

that I want
to be with, Lillian.

What have you
got to lose?

- With the wind!
- With the wind.

I'm not going anywhere
with any wind.

You and your
split-second moves.

- What's the game, Lillian?
- It's not a game.

All your freedom,
all your questions.

What do you
care about?

Do you care
about anything?

What do you call
this, a risk?

Is that a risk, meeting
a guy with a salami,

getting
in his balloon?

You call
that a risk?

You and your questions.

Your questions are
driving me up the wall.

"Are there homos
in Newark?"

What do you care
about homos

and what do you care
about Newark?

You scream
in a goddamn tunnel,

you make up
stories, lies--

That's right, lies.
You write me notes.

"Take a chance.

Everything's sweetened
by a risk."

Risk, my ass.

Remember this!

I'm the commander here!

- You are nothing!
- You are nothing!

He is everything.
We are nothing.

God, I'm going to fly.
Do it, Bobby. Do it.

On the track or off,

time is important
to all of us,

and if you're like me,

you want to know
the correct time exactly,

not a guess.

That's why I'm never
without my Seiko.

Whether I'm driving a race
at the Nürburgring

or simply going out
to dinner with friends,

my Seiko is here
on my wrist,

telling me precisely
the time and date,

information
I need to know.

So, whether you're
a sportsman or not...

...if accuracy in time is important to you,

try 24 hours
with a Seiko.

You'll never
take it off.

Can I get to you
later, Bobby?

I said let
him alone!

...Bobby Deerfield!

Bobby.

Oh, God, quick.

- Are you all right?
- Are you all right?

I understand
more than you.

You know that.

That's why
you're here.

It's been good
for you here...

and I know this woman
is already hurting you...

this Lillian Morelli.

How do you
know that name?

Dressmakers
know everything,

especially who pays
for the dress.

How long have you
followed me, Lydia?

I have never
followed you.

Why would I have to?

I also know she has come

from the clinic
where Holtzmann is.

I also know
how ill she is,

a woman who is dying...

who is alone...

is perhaps concerned
about having a lover

to be there
at her death.

Surely I would be.

But the truth is that
she has many lovers.

And I know she's
very beautiful.

And I know she
travels like a gypsy,

and her hands are small,
Andrea said.

But could she make
your clothes from memory?

Has she taken
the briefest time

to consider
who you are?

Oh, God!

What...

- Who told you that?
- What?

Who told you that
she was dying?

How do you
know that?

Oh, my God,
I'm--I'm sorry.

Come in.

I have been to Rome...

to Genova, Piombino...

and almost
Cortina d'Ampezzo.

You know
Cortina d'Ampezzo?

No.

It is so high,
you must finally...

walk to the top,
but it's so steep, so...

...they all
wanted to come back.

I wanted so much
to reach the top, but...

they all wanted
to come back,

so we came back.

And you?

What have you
been up to?

I raced.

Did you win?

No.

Is it your rabbits?

You found them?

No. No rabbits.

What, then?

What's on your mind?

What's on my mind?

Oh, please,
stop answering

questions
with questions.

I ask you what's
on your mind,

you say,
"What's on my mind?"

I say how are you,
you say, "How am I?"

That's boring!

I'm not trying
to bore you, Lillian.

I know, but...

I have a headache,

so don't shout
back at me.

I'm not shouting at you.

I know, but don't.

I don't want to be

your boring friend,
Lillian.

Who do you want to be?

Something better
than that.

Who do I go to see
about that?

Are you asking me
to change your personality?

I'm not a magician.

What can I tell you?

If you don't want
to be boring...
I don't know.

Surprise me.

Surprise yourself.

Why didn't you go
into the balloon?

The damn fool
invited you.

Oh...this is all
so stupidly comical...

and don't shout
back at me.

I'm not shouting.

But you are ready to,
aren't you?

No, I didn't
come here to shout.

Why did you come, then?
To figure me out?

Again?

I don't want
to be figured out.

I don't need
to be figured out.

I can do an imitation
of Mae West.

What?

I said I can do
an impersonation
of Mae West.

Who is Mae West?

You don't know?

- No.
- Oh.

She was...

sort of a sex queen
in the U.S.

I-I can impersonate her.

Big boy...

You say
you're sellin' notions?

Well, what kind
of notions have you got?

Come up and see me
sometime, big boy.

Mae West?

What do you think?

That surprise you?

No.

They call me
Flower Belle.

Hello, Flower Belle.

Hello.

It's a beginning.

That's
my aunt Martha.

That's a picnic
in 1950.

And, uh, this is
my uncle Frank...

and my cousin Bonnie.

I like her face.

I remember she used--
she used to always

sing a song called
"Red Sails in the Sunset."

How'd that go?

That's my uncle's dog.

I remember the day
that dog died.

My uncle cried so hard
he scared me to death.

That's me, here.

That's you.

This is my brother
Leonard

and his new bike.

Mm, he looks
so skinny.

He's kind of
a damn fool...

except he tries.

Here's my father.

He always wore
pinstriped suits.

I remember they
were hard to patch.

My brother claims
that my father
tap-danced...

but I never saw
him tap-dance.

Perhaps you weren't home
when he tap-danced.

I was home.

It's where I lived.

What's happened to him?

That's a question

that's beat the hell
out of everybody
for years...

although I-I-I think
I saw him once

on a trolley car

with a red-headed woman.

Wouldn't it
be ironic...

if I began to find you
irresistible?

I'm gonna tell
you something...

and I don't want to scare
you or anything...

...but I find you
irresistible.

Now,
that's the bridge.

And I don't know
that too well.

In all
your pictures,

there was no picture
of your mother.

Tell me about
your mother.

My mother
was an alcoholic.

What was she like
when she was drunk?

Oh, she was superb
when she was drunk.

She'd get good
and drunk--

she would be fantastic.

That's the truth.

Nobody knew her
like I did.

One time, we took

my bicycle
and we just went.

We got on the highway
and we rode,

and she was
drunker than...

And of course,
it got dark

before we got
to where we were going,

and we had to call
my father up,

and he had to come down
in the car and pick us up.

We couldn't get
the bicycle in the car,

and my mother
started to laugh,

I started to laugh.

My father didn't
like it much.

And then we'd
get her home

and my father'd
put her to bed,

and she'd sober up
and it was over,

and I'd just have to wait
for her to get drunk again.

One summer,
my father sent me off

to visit my aunt
for a couple of weeks...

and when I got back,

my mother was
in a hospital...

and they wouldn't
let me see her.

I couldn't
understand it.

They wouldn't
let me see her.

She died in her room.

I must have been about
11 or 12 at the time.

And a nurse there,

she--she--she
told me my mother

wrote me a note
when I was away.

But my father took it,

and he wouldn't
let me see it.

I couldn't understand it.

I remember I tried
to beat him up one time

to get him to tell me
what was in her note.

He wouldn't tell me.

I always wondered
what it said.

I know it was
something nice.

Some story, huh?

It's not true.

What?

It's not true.

I made it up.

- No.
- Yep.

I made it up
just now.

- Oh!
- What do you think?

Was it good?

- It was superb.
- Was it?

Buon giorno.

Buon giorno.

Parle anglais?

It's no good,
my English.

Marg--Margheritas.

Si.

Margherita gigante.

Bellisimo.

- Bella.
- Parle italiano?

Un poc.

I watch you run
every day now.

I need it.

Are you training?

No, I just
like to do it.

It makes me...

Are you English?

American.

You want water?

I just want to be
with somebody.

Are you all right?

I just want to be
with somebody,
that's all.

I don't want to talk.

I just want
to be with someone.

Ciao!

Ciao.

Grazie.

I'm wondering about
your friend Holtzmann.

What about him?

I think I would
like to go back...

and see how he is.

Uh, excuse me.

Uh, parle anglais?

Yes.

Oh, are
you American?

Yes.

No kidding.
Where you from?

We're from Detroit,
the wife and me.

I'm from New Jersey,
Newark.

New Jersey, we're
not that far apart.

Listen,
would you be--

would I be
too presumptuous
enough to ask you

to take a picture of me
and the wife together?

No, fine.

Thanks.
Come on, Ellen.

He's gonna
take our picture.

- Thank you very much.
- Thanks.

Are you--anywhere
you want to stand?

I thought maybe
with the valley
in the background.

What do you
think, okay?

Um...

Oh, sorry.

This is the focus
right here.

You just press that.

I think it's all set.
Yep, it's set.

Move closer together,
and I can get...

Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much.

Why don't we
take one of them, Henry?

Would you mind?
Just for our book.

You know
what it's like

to look back at the
faces you came across.

Henry.

Yeah, sure.
Do you mind?

No.

Okay, why don't
you stand--

...where we stood?
Wow, it's gonna rain.

Now, move over
a little bit.

Let's get it.

Hold it.
Hold...it.

There we are.
Okay.

Got it.

Listen, why don't you
give me your address

and I'll send it
on to you.

I'll have a copy made.

You probably
won't get it

till December,
who knows.

What's your name?

Robert Deerfield.

Let's see...
Robert.

- Two E's or E-A?
- Two E's.

Two E's. Deerfield.
What's the address, Robert?

2162 Bank Street.

That's in Newark.
Newark, New Jersey.

Bank Street,
Newark, got it.

Okay, you'll get
it in the mail.

Be a big surprise,
you'll see.

You know, people forget
about things like this.

- Thank you.
- So long.

Y-you went away?

No, I'm here.

Could you just...

just for a minute?

I'm here, darling.

Do you love me?

Oh, yes.

Bobby...

what will you
do tomorrow?

Boo...

Hoo.
