Original subtitles

Good morning.

Not bad.

Excuse me, can I try this on?

Sure.

Right here.

Thanks.

Let me know if you need anything out there.

Mm -hmm.

Oh, beautiful.

Can I help you?

Uh -huh.

This skirt's perfect for you. Just right for a shape like yours. Oh, you think

so? How about this top?

You from around here?

Uh -uh.

Could you give me a hand?

Yeah, sure.

Be right back.

What can I do for you?

Come inside.

Yeah. Do you think it's the right size?

Oh, it sure is. It couldn't be better.

But when I bend over like this, it kind of sticks to me. Yeah.

That's nothing.

That's exactly how it's supposed to be.

Let me see it again, like I know it again.

Go and get a drip there.

I arrived in Rome two weeks ago at my friend Richard's invitation.

He wanted to offer me a part in a film he was preparing.

To me, Rome was synonymous with romance and sounded like new adventures.

So I let myself be tempted.

But Richard's new partner, Luigi, seemed dodgy.

Anna, thank you for coming to Rome.

Shit, I'm in a really bad situation.

I owe this bloody Italian Luigi a fortune.

Wasn't that last film that you made such a success?

Ah, season is golden fleeces. Yes.

But I've sunk my money into women as usual.

You know the Countess Julia?

Hmm?

I'm going to settle down with her and make great films again. I've changed, I

promise you.

I bet you've changed, Richard. I have.

We all know why you've gone into film.

Good excuse to pick up women. No, no, no. I'm in it for the money.

Yeah, OK, maybe a little bit for the women, but...

I'm... I'm getting older.

I've got to have something to offer them. You've still got a lot to offer

It's nice to see you again, Anna. You should have married me.

Yeah, maybe.

But now I've got Leonardo.

I'm sorry, I forgot.

Leonardo was the big star of the moment in Italy.

And so was Olivia, Luigi's wife.

Now, she was having an affair with Leonardo, apparently with Luigi's

I'm paying.

Money talks, bullshit walks.

Give me a break, Luigi. I'm co -producing this film, directing this

brought the contest.

You know who's going to act as your guarantee. And you'll get your money

tenfold. And I brought Anna here from England.

And I brought Leonardo here. He's a star in Italy.

And I want Olivia to play Anna's sister.

I'm going to make a serious film here.

The reality of Anna and Olivia being sisters.

It's as real as you and I being sisters.

The deal was I control the casting.

All right, all right.

But don't lose your countess, otherwise you're going to be out of the movie.

And we'll take your house. What are you talking about, lose the countess? Don't

worry.

She's crazy about me.

What do you think, Leonardo?

I'll do whatever Luigi said.

I do not understand why you're involved with such mafioso types.

Take it easy.

She's joking.

So we've got a deal, Luigi, okay?

Yeah, all right, all right.

I did feel somewhat trapped, but curiosity and my friendship for Richard

me to stay.

You don't have to say anything, Luigi.

I know you betrayed me.

You think you're such a big shot?

You're a piece of shit.

Don't ever talk to me that way.

You know who I am, you little bitch?

I'm Luigi Corleone. I made you and I can break you.

Watch what you say to me. Capisce?

Okay, yeah. I don't go for disgusting things like it. How about a kiss?

That's right, a kiss. Come on, a kiss.

Yeah.

You didn't have to put your tongue in my mouth.

Smile. Oh, thanks.

This way.

Take a few steps that way. And now a long shot of the two of you, okay?

Nice. Beautiful.

Beautiful couple. A picture with the producer and the director.

Gentlemen, enough photographs. You may ask some questions if you wish.

Who did you cast for the second girl in the film?

She's somebody... You may tell your readers we are still casting for the

actress. What does the prettiest girl in England think of the cinema in Italy?

I don't know what she thinks, but I am very honoured to be here with you.

There are rumours that you're about to be engaged.

Tell us about that. No personal questions for the actors, if you don't

Can't you give us a hint?

Come on. Enough questions. Enough questions, gentlemen.

Thank you. Thank you very much. One more. Just one more. Thank you. Thank

Best movie. Best.

Did

everything

go okay?

I'm very still waiting.

Now we've got fabulous clothes for the cocktail party.

I wish I had time.

But we have to hurry, or we'll be late.

Get dressed, then.

What are you waiting for?

I can't miss this chance.

It's only a cocktail party, Antonella.

Oh, Leonardo.

My darling. I'm going to meet you at last.

And we'll be the biggest couple the cinema's ever known.

Do you think he's going to like me, Monica?

Why, of course. A young virgin like you.

I don't understand you.

Just because you want to be an actress doesn't mean you have to go after a guy

who's probably an idiot. You can do much better, and he's not even good

-looking. I'm sure he's a jerk.

Not good -looking? Are you crazy? He's beautiful.

You say so.

Are Renzo and Fabio waiting?

Yeah, let them wait.

They're late. What time have you got? It's 4 .30 already.

They think we're idiots. We wait for them, we chauffeur them around, and

we're not good enough for them. That's women for you.

Anyway, we'll get our chance with them. Just be patient. As soon as they stop

daydreaming about movie stars, it'll be our turn.

Will you get a load of them?

I don't believe it.

They're crazy.

Everybody in town is going to laugh at us. Hey, cut the small talk and give us

ride.

Then you can go back and watch your football game.

This is absolutely unbelievable, huh?

Just who the hell does she think she is?

How can you wear those things?

You really think you're hot stuff, huh? You better learn to cook and clean, you

know? This isn't a freak show here.

And you're a loser.

I'm a loser, huh?

One day you'll tell everyone you knew me.

Disgraciada. Yeah, sure, ladies, go on. In your dreams.

Why don't you just shut up and let's go, okay?

Hurry up, will you?

Please hear us, oh Lord.

Gina, will you stop praying? Just calm down, relax.

Do you think you've made the right decision getting involved in show

Julia? Of course I do. I trust Richard and I think it's a good and safe

investment. I can feel it.

Do you think he really loves me? All I was able to learn is that he's from a

good English family. I thought so. And he's also very talented.

He's the man for me.

I hope so.

And I hope he's God -fearing as well.

Look at the dress you made me wear.

It's indecent. No, you look lovely in it. You too look very lovely.

What a change it's going to be from fundraising parties.

I'm so excited.

You know, Gina, you might find the man of your dreams as well.

Ladies, welcome.

Countess.

You look ravishing.

My dress isn't too outrageous, is it?

No, you look superb.

Now we're going to have fun, ladies.

My sweet little teddy bear.

Please, Countess, don't call me that in public.

I've enough problems being taken seriously. Have you been drinking?

No, no, not since last week, I swear.

We've been praying a lot for you.

Oh, thank you.

Promise me you won't drink tonight.

Of course, of course.

Now let's toast to our new venture, the film.

Ah, Luigi Corleone, I'd like you to meet the Countess Giulia D 'Albo.

Contessa. And her lady friend.

Signorina Gina Paulson.

It's an honor for us to have you here as a partner in our movie.

Any friend of Richard's is a friend of mine.

Thank you. Come and meet our guest now.

I won't give us away.

Oh, no.

I don't like the looks of that guy.

Let's go.

May I see your invitation, please?

Don't you recognize the singing star, Andy White? Oh, yes, of course, ma 'am.

Then open the door for us, please.

He's going to get a sore throat, so let us in if you don't want to lose your

job. Yes, yes, excuse me.

What's your name?

I like your style

Bloody Luigi.

Who does he think he is?

I'll show him. I'm the target.

I don't think you should be budging. I don't think you should be budging in

like that. Because Richard knows what he's doing.

That's the Countess of Alba.

She's filthy rich.

What about you?

I have some.

How's the music, best friend?

You have tons of other proposals anyway. I mean, what do you want? Oh!

Excuse me. Oh, you're clumsy.

Where on earth were you brought up anyway?

It's all right. It looks petty like that anyway.

Thank you. I thought she was going to slug me. By the way, would you know

I might find Leonardo?

Oh, I see another groupie. Have you got anything better to do with your time?

Who do you think you are to judge me?

Don't get touchy.

I think it's that way.

Mind your step.

Wait!

And features.

Let me show you around the house.

All of us Sicilians are very religious, not like British people.

Yes, it's a beautiful country.

And with such strong men.

Luigi! Luigi!

I found her!

I found our girl. The other woman.

I found her. I found her.

Excuse me.

Can I see you?

I think, Richard, that you're very drunk, so please behave yourself and

easy.

Okay, Corleone, we'll discuss this later.

All right.

I'm sorry, but sometimes he hits the whiskey bottle a little too hard.

What can I do for you?

Talk to me to begin with and keep me company. I feel kind of alone.

Sorry, I can't. I'm waiting for my boyfriend.

Do you love him?

Yes, I do.

Do you know who I am?

No. I have to go now. Excuse me.

Don't go. Wait a minute.

Tell me, do you believe in love at first sight?

You're even stupider than I thought you were.

Although, you're even better looking than I imagined.

So, if you like, I don't mind going for a walk.

Look at that little bitch, will you? Don't worry, he's only interested in one

thing.

Leonardo likes me, and that's very useful.

Yeah. Richard doesn't want me.

Leonardo's my only chance to change his mind. I wouldn't count on that if I were

you.

We've got to get Anna out of the way.

And I know how to do it. Good idea. In the meantime, I'll take care of Richard.

Anna.

Aren't you enjoying the party?

It's okay.

I just don't feel like I really fit in there, you know?

You're a very special woman, Anna.

Why don't you get acquainted with Leonardo?

He's a beautiful, handsome man.

I don't go for that anymore.

I used to, you know.

But I've changed since then.

I'm in the mood for something different these days.

That's what I wanted to hear you say.

There's something special going on between you and me.

Don't you think so?

I hadn't actually noticed that.

But you never know.

I could help you a lot.

I don't sleep with people for profit these days.

I heard about your past in Paris when you weren't so picky.

You nosy little man.

You've been digging around in my sordid past.

You will soon be begging me on your knees.

I feel so good.

I can't recall ever feeling this way.

But why?

Why? Because I've got you all to myself, although I know that every woman in

Italy is running after you.

No, you're wrong.

I'm a lot lonelier than you think.

And this moment with you is a very special one for me.

I know that you're lying, but it's so wonderful to hear you say it.

I'll just let you kiss me, Leonardo.

That way I have this memory to share with my friends.

Good evening, Miss.

Who are you?

I'm a journalist, a photographer.

May I?

If you want to.

You don't like it here?

No.

Why do you want to know?

You see, I'm... I'm a fan of yours.

Really?

Really?

Of course.

Okay.

What's your name?

My name is Coloconza.

And... Do you like it here?

This is the way I earn my living.

Okay.

You're hired.

I want you to show me around.

All right.

Come on.

You're dying to do it, aren't you?

Why don't you ever say anything?

What the hell's going on around here?

Do you play bitchy jokes like this on everyone?

Hold on, cutie pie.

It's time to finish what you started.

Richard.

Oh, Andrea.

You look well, darling.

How about you and I having a little chat?

No, no, no.

I'm going to be the countess.

Come here, huh?

Sorry, Andrea, but not even you can persuade me.

I've changed.

You just don't have the courage. Admit it.

Okay.

No.

I was talking to the Minister of Culture. I think I'll go and freshen up.

The cinema's in financial difficulty. Go on, I'll wait for you here.

Excuse me then.

I'll go then.

You little bitch!

Are you happy?

Now we can have some peace and quiet.

I wanted to have a little chat with you.

Yes, I was so happy to see you again.

It's been a long time since our last film.

You used to be in love with me.

Yes, but you rejected me all the way through filming.

You know I still have feelings for you.

Are you happy these days?

Well, I've been drinking again.

I promised myself I wouldn't.

Yes, I'm happy. I think I'm in love.

Let me dry you.

No. Sit over there.

It feels good. It's so warm in here.

I can see you coming, baby.

But I'm a good boy.

Forget it.

You know I'm in love with the Countess, Julia.

I'm in love with her.

And dwell.

I want to show you the Orange Grove Garden.

It's my favorite place in Rome.

Really?

Do you bring all of your dates here?

I wouldn't dare think of you as a date.

Why not?

I'm not interesting enough for you.

What are you doing?

Why would you say such a thing?

I feel bewitched.

You should have gone in.

Would have relaxed you.

Italian men seem to be all words.

Why don't you try?

You don't give me any choice, do you?

Last night, you made my dream come true, Anna.

I don't want it to disappear.

Don't worry, paparazzo.

I'm not an angel. I'm not going to fly away.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I might just wait here until tomorrow.

You can wait wherever you want, but I want you to be fresh and fit for

I've got Scottish blood, you know.

Good morning, Karloff.

How was your night?

It's none of your business, Luigi.

I'm gonna teach you all the... Now,

you little shithead, listen to me.

You got parents, a sister, a nice job.

You know who I am, don't you?

So don't show your fucking face here.

Or anywhere near Anna.

Ever again, understood?

I hope so, for your sake.

Now get the hell out of here!

What happened to you?

Professor?

Depression.

I messed up. I messed up again.

Indigestion of dairy products.

Typical.

Come on, it can't be all that bad.

I've lost the countess, the villa, the film, and I haven't got any more cream.

You can't have lost the Countess. She keeps telling me how much she loves you.

You seem to have regained some confidence in romance, Anna.

You may be right.

Romance is a place to shatter even one's most cynical theories about life.

You're right, Anna. I love the Countess. I love her.

Illusion, my friend.

Illusion.

Don't get upset.

It's going to be all right.

Oh, fuck

off, Professor.

You fuck off.

God, I'll fuck off. I believed in love again.

The magic of Rome had worked.

But my happiness was going to be short -lived.

And that very afternoon, as I was savoring my memories of last night,

to see me.

Good morning, Anna. Did you have a good time last night?

Good morning, Luigi.

You're looking very well today.

Yes, indeed. Might I know where you were last night?

I don't think it's any of your business, Luigi.

On the contrary, Anna, it is. We're making a movie together and your

must be intact.

Yeah?

I don't think that you, of all people, need to worry about my reputation.

Actually, I do. I can't afford you running around the streets of Rome with

lowest class of people like this Carlo.

Would you just shut up?

I don't need you to come here and talk to me like that, okay? What have you

doing again, spying on me?

I don't need to.

What's this?

All Rome knows about you and how you behave.

This guy is a vulture. He just wants to make money with his sensational

pictures. And I'll make sure he doesn't bother you anymore.

A photograph of me in the fountain was on the first page of the newspaper.

I couldn't believe that Carlo could have done such a petty thing.

I had acted so naively.

Succumbing so easily to the charm of an Italian lover, I was vexed as much as

heartbroken.

Mamma mia, she thought she was a movie star already, huh? We weren't good

for her.

Hey, Antonella, why don't you talk with us? Come on, let's go for a ride. Ah,

leave her in peace.

Come on, Antonella.

It's been two days. She hasn't said a damn word. She's playing the suffering

intellectual.

You see just where your stupid dreams have led you? When I think she took us

a couple of losers.

Better forget about fame, fortune, and glory now.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Don't you have anything better to do? You're still both a couple of losers.

get out of here and leave us alone.

You heard me go.

I've had enough. Let's get out. Everything will be all right.

Let's get out.

You're wonderful. Don't listen to them.

Monica had met Carlo at the party, so she was going to contact him and arrange

everything.

Richard, you messed up.

From now on, you shut up and let me handle things.

First of all, Olivia's going to play the part, and you are out of the picture.

To reimburse your debts, you're going to shoot me five westerns in the next

year. For minimum pay.

You're a bastard.

And a sick one.

I'll bet you enjoy seeing your girlfriend getting shagged.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.

It's good for my libido. And for my business, too.

And now, piss off and get to work immediately.

Okay, Corleone, you scumbag.

I think we're getting old, Luigi.

Anna?

Anna? Anna?

What are you doing here?

Carlo asked me to give you this.

Give it back to him.

I don't want to see him anymore.

He loves you, you know.

He doesn't love me.

If he loved me, he wouldn't do what he'd done the other day.

You shouldn't believe everything they say. Really, you shouldn't.

Anna, did Leonardo say anything about me?

Forget about Leonardo.

You deserve better than that.

I didn't mean what I said to you the other day. I'm sorry.

I really like you a lot.

I like you too.

In his letter, Carlo was claiming his innocence over what had happened, so I

understood that Olivia had taken the picture.

I decided to leave at any cost, looking forward to a happy future with Carlo.

You see, Leonardo?

Just look at him.

Poor Richard.

The guy's in depression.

Completely.

No balls.

No balls.

What do you think about it, sweetie?

You're a scumbag.

Do you love him or what? Do you love him?

beats everything.

Fuck.

Unbelievable.

Luigi. Yeah?

I'm leaving.

You're leaving? What do you mean, leaving?

I'm off. I'm going.

You're crazy, honey. You signed a contract with me to shoot a movie.

You've got to honor that contract.

What the hell do you mean you're leaving?

You can take your contract, and you can take your film, and you can shove them

up your ass. Because I don't want to be here, and I don't need you.

And tell that bitch of yours to take photographs properly next time.

Okay? Just go, just go, just go.

Just go.

You know what?

She'll be back begging on her knees.

Don't you think so, Leonardo?

Whatever you say, boss.

It's fucking unbelievable, man.

You know, I make people become famous. I make them rich, and that's the thanks I

get. Just get a load of the way she treated me. How can anyone understand?

a fucking stupid woman.

Fuck. Jeez.

She's gonna come begging me, you'll see.

Sure.

You see there?

That's the Piazza Navona.

And there, just behind the church, is the Trevi Fountain.

Well, you can make a wish and take another dip. Oh, yes.

We mustn't forget to call Olivia to take the photograph.

I was very happy.

But I kept on thinking of Richard and his delicate situation.

He received a visit shortly afterwards.

I feel lost.

So lost.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I really am.

Oh, I'm sorry.

How can I be so stupid?

I'm sorry.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Richard, do you realize what you did is horrible?

I'm nothing.

Nobody. A failure.

Please, can you forgive him, Lord?

He prayed for you and you made us so unhappy.

I'm nothing. A total failure.

I'd

better

call a doctor.

You're so good to me.

What are you doing?

What do you mean you can't come over right away?

The man is very sick.

Well, I'll go and get the medicine myself in that case.

Get up. Julia, hurry.

You pig.

Get out.

I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. It was so sudden I... You are really

disgusting.

I'm sorry.

Julia, you're right about everything.

Give me another chance.

No.

No, please.

Where are you going?

You know you can't drive.

Julia, stop.

Please.

Go

away.

I don't want to see you again.

Get away from me.

Let me talk to you. I love you.

I'm not well.

But I'm going to get better.

Julia, don't leave me.

Richard had somehow convinced Julia and even Gina they would fully fund his

film. He had resolved to behave himself and underwent a cure.

He got to work seriously.

Hello.

What's your name?

My name's Sophia.

That's the third one today.

And how old are you?

I was just 19 years old.

Well, you're definitely the youngest.

Okay.

What experience do you have?

I don't have any, although I know you can teach me a lot.

Very well.

What's your favourite film?

Caesar in his golden fleece.

Okay. Thank you.

Can you mimic sadness?

Very good.

Very well. Imagine.

Yes. Now, imagine you've fallen in love.

And you've not seen him for the first time.

Okay. Have I got the part?

I can't make a decision just yet.

Okay?

But we will be in touch. Okay?

It's fine.

Thank you.

I can try harder, you know.

No. No, please.

No, no, you don't have... I've seen enough.

Get out! Leave me alone!

You want to destroy me?

Next.

No, wait, wait.

No, you're the one.

Antonella and I are going to co -star in the film, which will start shooting

next week.

Even Olivia got a part.

And Julia now has a devouring passion for show business.

Smile.

One more like that.

Great.

And just one more with that same pose.

Great. I was wondering, when will the movie actually start?

We're going to start in... Actually, it'll be in... We begin shooting in two

weeks, and the film will come out at Christmas.

Christmas. That's great.

How did you choose your new actress?

We have a casting session and... I feel that Antonella is perfect as a

supporting actress for Anna.

And you, Leonardo, what do you think about the choice of Antonella?

Well, I have great confidence in the Countess.

And just one more without seeing clothes?

Great.

I've finished.

Thank you.

Okay.

I think we've got enough information for the article.

Thank you very much. Goodbye.

Let's go for a swim.
