Original subtitles

At the end of my book you can read that It was finished in September 1936.

I can't believe it!

It's been three years now!

I have returned to Alexandria.

What a crazy stay!

So many memories!

To be just a memory, it would have bothered greatly to Justine.

Justine ruled Alexandria.

She seemed wrapped in a golden halo:

... was the sister of a thousand despotic queens.

How we envied to her husband Nessim,

... because she was his wife, because of her power and for the great life that we suppose to him.

Pursewarden, Press Secretary from the British Embassy.

While we laugh with their malicious and sharp comments,

... we were afraid to be his next victims.

They were the modern ones wonders of Egypt.

But, know the truth that he hid in them,

... would have returned to a happy beggar with his paltry luck.

Melissa.

Only Melissa was exactly what it looked like.

Naive Melissa,

... brings us all together, relating with each other with their mere existence.

And he did it, without realizing notice it.

How interesting all this is! I had never been.

Look, look!

Hey, champagne!

Kiss me!

Tot, you are bad!

You are wicked!

Why is he screaming?

- Melissa! - Not.

No you don't!

- What happened? - It was you! You gave him an aphrodisiac.

But it was a joke.

Go back to bed, you fucking cow! What do you think you are going to do?

Leave me!

Out!

Enough! Enough!

Pombal, we have bothered to the school teacher!

He's going to kill us! I will think that we are crazy.

Call Balthazar!

Out!

- What is it called? - I don't know.

- You must remember. - No, I already told you no.

Melissa?

What is wrong with him?

Everything: malnutrition, hysteria, alcoholism,

... hashish, tuberculosis. Choose!

Call for an ambulance!

You will have the best: a room private, a specialist ..

You liar! Take it from me from above!

If you don't have a girl

... I will come with you when I am healed.

Do you think she lives off dancing?

Maybe I'm going to leave my wife and me beautiful daughter for a bitch like that?

Perfection,

... of who does not choose male or female,

...as a couple,

... or anyone who knows resemble him.

Lie down

... stupid!

Pombal will not return from Embassy, ​​until 7.

It can wait for you downstairs, in the living room!

Who is Pombal?

You don't know me!

You have so many women in your life,

... that they come and go in an endless parade?

I can't believe it!

I told you I would be back.

I need a vase or something.

Let's go to the other room.

The Masters of Alexandria they are the poorest.

You can't be a teacher!

Of 44 savages, in his mostly English.

Teachers are old and have broken or yellow teeth.

I am also a writer.

- Ah! - Or at least I try.

It is wonderful! Read me something of yours!

- No way! - Well, then, I'm going.

Okay.

It is awful.

"The city presents a Frenzied agitation.

"People move like to electrical bursts.

"His laugh scares the pigeons of the minarets,

"... as if they were pieces of paper.

"But under the bustle I, like doves,

"... presented terror.

"I saw clouds of dried blood ...

"... walk the streets like dark prophecies. "

- What is it? - Nothing.

Everything! This cursed fan, you ...

What lies did I tell you that old man?

I have to go.

Wait! Listen, please!

Sorry.

Forgive me, if I said or did something!

I can't even offer you a cup of tea and some pastries.

That ... sty,

... the potatoes in the sink ...

I ... I owe money to everyone!

And this ... this is my Unique suit.

- What the hell are you doing? - Brand you.

It is a special ink, indelible.

"Diké mou" means "It's mine" in Greek.

What?

Are you crazy!

Crazy!

Now, I'm going to mark sex ...

... of the girl who dances belly dance!

In the belly!

It's the first time in my life ...

... that I'm not afraid to be ...

... natural with a man.

I will be delighted in all aspects.

It is young, cheap and clean.

It's one more popcorn good than bread.

You need money, because it ends to get out of the madhouse.

For the love of God!

What more pornographic things they come to mind!

Does someone want to remind you to that guy,

... that I am a diplomatic representative of a great power?

My dear Mr. Hosnani!

- Thank you. - I almost fell out of fright.

He's almost an hour late.

I am badly used to it.

For all these years I have known that the Stock Exchange closes at four ...

... and at twenty past four I have trimmed his beard.

The Stock Market is very agitated Lately.

What awaits us? The chaos? The revolution?

When in doubt, buy diamonds.

- Justine is upset with you. - And when your wife is not?

If you weren't coming to dinner you could have phoned.

Diamonds?

With the bankers, talk about diamonds.

With my colleagues from the British Embassy, congratulates you on the King's birthday.

He only talks about sex with me.

Talk about sex with an Englishman is wasting time.

The lower classes I think still vaguely remember what it is.

They are all in the same boat.

Go at six or he will be furious.

At half past six.

Remember money You must pay me.

It's a gentlemen's agreement.

Maybe I'll lend you his razor

... if you want to cut my throat.

Who is that man?

Stop following us! Scare Melissa.

She says you carry a gun.

You cut me off, you idiot!

It is empty.

Melissa's perfume!

I will accompany you. Years ago who is my wife's furrier.

I think you shaved for the last time.

The corpses also have need for a barber.

- And my master? Where is it? - He just left.

- Where is it? - Where always, sir.

Damn crazy!

Hey, professor, come with me!

How long have you been in Alexandria? Three or four months?

Does it inspire you as a writer?

Or is it that Alexandria is a city like any other?

Come with me! I will teach you a little tour.

I will need the help of a stocky irish. Come on!

I didn't know whether to believe or not to Pursewarden.

He told me that Justine was going through the slums,

... looking for his lost daughter,

... a young girl who feared find in some brothel.

Look what daddy has! Do you like it?

I'm going to give it to you, of course I do!

One for each.

In such a situation, why do not go to the police?

That girl, does she exist?

I thought ...

Yes, for years that daughter that maybe it exists or not,

... has given him a great tragic air.

I'm coming!

Come in, gentlemen!

Welcome back!

The ladies will dance for you.

How beautiful you are! Come here!

Justine!

Go away, pig!

- Who are you! - Get out of here! Leave me! Go away!

Leave me alone! Get out!

Go away, pig!

- Let me go! - Get out of here!

But who is that crazy woman? Who does he think he is?

- Calm down! - There's another one! I'll be right back.

No, Justine, wait! Wait!

Do you really plan to find your daughter here?

That is my intention.

Every few months they bring new girls.

Welcome to Alexandria, professor!

- Come on! - Come on!

- Justine, let's go, for God's sake! - Go away, you!

I'm going to tell you...

... I'm going to tell you a story.

In the times of the Great Caliph ...

in the time of the great Caliph ...

... there were wars,

...very long.

He knows how to count very well the tales.

Come on! Come on! Quick, quick!

Break down the door!

There it is!

I'm going to break your face!

He's gone out there!

Quick, let's go!

Quick, let's go!

Oh, you're coming soon!

The barber says that Mr. Cohen is dying ...

... and it's been weeks at the hospital.

I know. I was notified by the hospital.

I can't go see him.

But he has a wife and a daughter. Why don't they go?

He is dying.

How unpleasant!

Please,

... don't make me go.

Of course not.

If you insist, I will have to go.

I'll go for you.

It's nothing serious.

See you in strange places.

Where is Melissa?

In Cairo, dancing in the new cabaret.

He is here in Alexandria, but did not dare to come ...

... and sent you, instead.

You have been very kind to come.

I wanted to settle my account with her honorably.

I have treated her very badly.

Very bad.

Although she is so simple that he didn't even notice.

But it is good.

A very good girl.

It was something personal between Melissa's rep and me.

I'll be back tomorrow!

Ask before, why perhaps it is no longer necessary.

You'll be fine.

((they speak in Arabic))

Don't stay long.

How could he fall in love of an old man like me?

I cheated on her so many times!

The fur coat what did I give you ...

... he was old and had moths.

In the drawer!

Take the rings!

She chose them long ago.

He wanted to marry me.

The jeweler left them for to show me ...

... and I kicked her out of my store.

Yesterday I sent a message to the jeweler.

It is funny.

During my life, I always money has worried.

Now that I die, I am well supplied with funds.

What do I want this for?

Does he know that all did we end up the same?

I was waiting for him.

Sit down!

What happened when Pursewarden got me out of there?

That I tried to get out alive.

Weren't you a poet?

- What was I going to do? - What he did: run.

- But there were four! - Then it was probably sensible.

You surely would killed right there.

Can't go that way killing people.

Not even those who kidnap girls to prostitute them?

I'm going to introduce you to Nessim, my husband.

They will become friends.

Why would I have no interest in me?

He loves poets.

You ... I'll give you my number.

Not now. I want to introduce you to you now.

Why?

If you can't, it doesn't matter why ...

... and if you can, why not?

Of course, you go for nice way, boy!

Nessim Hosnani, my God!

From his Arab father he inherited 200,000 acres in land;

... from his Danish mother, his blue eyes...

... and a fortune in the bank, which Just thinking about it makes me dizzy.

Justine is one of the few ...

You better tell him.

If this young man makes a good impression, I will no longer have to continue teaching.

Nessim Hosnani has invited me to go to his country house.

She is alone in the car.

We will pick it up on the way to work.

It is dangerous.

Come on now!

Cohen gave me this for you.

They must be worth a fortune.

Why do you remind me of something what embarrasses me?

Hey, Narouz!

Hello, Nessim!

Not me and my brother we see each other a lot.

Sometimes weeks go by.

How are you, Nessim?

- Nessim! - Narouz!

((They greet each other in Arabic))

Darley, this is Narouz:

... the only real Arab from here.

Charmed.

He sings it with such a religious feeling as if I was in a church.

It is a muslim song, in praise of Allah.

His God; my God..

Their God is ours. We are not Muslims.

Narouz and I are Christians like you.

Coptic Christians.

In fact we were the first country Christian, even before Rome.

Now not even the Christians they know we exist.

And what does that matter to you?

Coptos and Muslims are the same for these damn English!

Narouz!

Since the English arrived, all are problems.

Now Copts and Muslims we kill each other.

- Narouz! - Not.

- It tastes bad. - Why?

My father says the same forever. It's Irish.

I want you to apologize.

Don't expect him to apologize.

We are all afraid of what may happen,

... when the English leave.

For every Coptic there is 20 Muslims.

But you don't seem very interested in our problem, right?

I thought you were Jewish.

I stopped being Jewish, when I married Nassim.

While waiting for you I could see her Melissa

...returning home.

What did he say,

... seeing that I was waiting for you?

He said you were dangerous.

In Alexandria they all are.

She could get me killed for the price of a dress.

Has a crumb in Chin.

No, leave me, as if it were a slave of the harem!

Good morning

Nessim and Narouz have gone to the desert, for a business matter.

Let's go for a walk by horse!

So dressed?

Put this on!

Or we can go by car.

SEWING MACHINES WONDERWORLD

Where have you stolen these rifles?

Tell us the truth and let to say nonsense!

It's the truth, effendi!

A rifle like that?

A weapon like this and without firing you say you found it?

I was very lucky. I was lying there.

You must have promised someone more weapons like this.

I'm going to keep cutting you, until tell me the truth,

... because the dead they don't lie.

In two or three days,

... I will be the least liar man what's in Egypt

What if not?

You will continue to rip him off the meat?

We have to know the truth about those weapons.

I fear for you, Narouz.

You insult strangers for no reason;

... you spill human blood with your knife,

... as if it were water ...

... and you are my own brother.

My dear brother!

This morning I phoned to hospital. Cohen is dead.

I'm so sorry!

When I was young, I hired as a model.

Once, he tried to seduce me.

His lips tasted of wine.

Did I tell you about me?

What do lips taste like of a poet?

- To Westminster Abbey. - Oh!

And what did Cohen tell you?

- I do not remember. - Tell me!

I wonder if he knew what it said.

Salt water, liquor ...

Yes.

- Nothing. - Oh!

Oh my God! No longer seen a look like that.

- Look? - It's beautiful and so touching!

Ma'am, you must think you in her husband!

Not.

No?

Yes, no. Yes, no.

I have to go.

Are you back with Melissa?

Allah told me that he was looking for me.

Sorry i have to leave us so soon.

The observatory is my pride and my fun.

Justine had it built for me, as a surprise.

Are you interested in astronomy?

No, I forgot!

His is poetry.

Meet the great poet of our city?

Kavafis.

Almost all of his poems always have the same plot and setting.

"Towards evening a young man appeared,

"... tall, of rare beauty and very handsome,

"... that radiated the joy of absolute and incorruptible purity,

"... written on his face."

I hope to see you again soon.

Goodbye.

It was another one of those crazy days.

From the moment I entered the hospital nothing seemed to be real.

What the hell was I doing there?

Why having been Nessim so kind,

... his blood seemed to boil under that bandage?

But, everything seemed so innocent in those twenty- four hours,

... as if I've been watching a cricket match.

What are you doing here?

It's anger. Go if you want save your life!

Leave it! Leave it!

Only the English know catch a bronchitis.

Poor thing!

Your life is only misfortunes: one after another.

Whenever I see you something terrible happens to you.

Are you going to stay indefinitely?

Have a little compassion! It has a high fever.

You can already devour it any other day.

This is what we are going to do: You with Melissa and I with Nessim.

Luckily I already am immune to love.

Lovers only serve to hurt the loved ones.

I am not her lover!

Get well as soon as possible that you can!

My husband is not there.

Gone to Cairo to spend the day.

It seems that they no longer interest him the novice poets.

Forgive me for giving you false expectations.

Are you okay?

It has already passed you Bronchitis?

Maybe you just fit some fever.

Yes, the master must not never kiss the slave.

Egypt becomes a independent and sovereign nation.

The English viceroy leaves and the ambassador to Egypt arrives.

Turn off that damn radio!

Now is the time of reconciliation ...

... with the new Muslim government.

Nessim is pronouncing an important speech.

I'll read it in the newspaper.

Are you leaving?

If you don't turn it off!

Melissa always does everything you say?

You really need an Egyptian slave.

... that allow us to serve loyally to our young king ...

... and worship our God,

... without fear and in peace.

You just heard the recorded speech from the Honorable Mr. Nessim Hosnani.

Radio Cairo now continues with your ordinary musical programming.

Was it him?

Why has he stayed standing there?

Yeah ... yeah he saw us at the lake.

I can't understand it!

It's worth nothing! It's just funny.

What the hell do you know?

- Wait to see his legs. - He has something in his eyes.

What is it?

How can it be not there is nothing that I do not understand,

... even if I don't understand absolutely nothing?

You are a very man lucky, Darley.

Shut up!

They are late!

I think they know everyone except to our friend Mr. Darley.

Mr. and Mrs. Serapamoun.

Mr. Serapamoun is the Director of the Bank of Cairo.

Yes.

((they speak in Arabic))

Will you allow me?

Shall we dance?

Your husband has been organizing continuous celebrations for six weeks.

What are we celebrating exactly?

I know what I'm celebrating.

I can't stand it!

Old Greek millionaires,

... all fat and old!

I wasn't even all night.

The truth is that they fired me.

One week's salary stayed on the tray!

Are they crazy? Do you know that tips keep the house?

What does Justine want from you?

I know very well that these people always wants something.

What can they want from me?

I know you love Justine.

I know you think about her, even when you make love to me

Don't deny it!

Damn it!

- Have you broken it? - Yes, I did. - Damn it!

Fight quietly, please!

I have a barracuda in there.

Thank God that finally has fallen asleep.

Spread the rumor that I have a dreadful disease.

I was born to be a victim of women!

Nessim has invited you to a carnival party.

Do not go.

If you send them a note with excuses it will be enough.

Carnival is a few dates very particular.

They all go crazy.

Last year the woman from Portuguese Undersecretary ...

... they found her headless.

They had to bury her without her to the poor unfortunate woman.

No. I think you shouldn't go, boy.

But I want to go and go.

It's too innocent and very simple.

Your situation is not exactly the best kept secret in Alexandria.

Nessim must know.

Let me be the one to decide what I should or should not do!

Pombal, where are you?

- Where are you? - One morning I they will find dead in bed.

I'm exhausted.

- Good night, Nessim. "You look beautiful, my dear."

Come on a moment!

Do you agree?

Of course. My sins will fall on your head.

And I will never be able to be at the height..

I love the anonymity.

You hope to keep it wearing this ring?

Ah, the exile Hosnani!

You never come to town anymore to visit us.

Do you hate us so much?

We have a lot of land, you know?

Now forget the lands and enjoy the beautiful women!

Justine, if you ever decide to tame to this beautiful monster,

... let me know.

I'm going with Domino. Us We will see in the wardrobe.

Come on!

Young man!

You are very handsome. I can ask you to dance with me?

Sorry but...

Alright but you don't know what you miss.

Pombal!

He wouldn't recognize me either.

My consul!

Oh, my little flower!

I'm going to get closer ...

... and rub next to him My precious...

Today I'm going to take revenge on five years of insults.

Wait and see!

My love!

I'm better off without him.

Yes, good and put it out there!

- Save me this! - Yes.

Yesterday I was three hours waiting for you.

- That was silly. - Where were you?

Yesterday I did not feel very affectionate.

Oh thank you! And when do you wait feel loving again?

How am I to know?

And what am I going to do? Wait?

I've gotten used to you bad, huh?

Ah! For making me believe that you were crazy about me?

That is not entirely a lie.

Wow, what a nice compliment!

Any man in Alexandria I would think it is.

There are a lot of people, right?

Do we have a reserved table?

Shall we dance?

Hello!

Oh my God!

I have the pleasure to introduce you to my sister.

Liza has given me a surprise.

He has come to Alexandria with our friend Mountolive,

... the new ambassador.

Justine Hosnani ...

... and his shadow, Darley.

- Justine! - Liza dear, finally see you.

My brother talks a lot of you in your letters.

- You know that your brother is a liar. - Why?

For saying that you are the kindest, I knew and beautiful of all the women of Alexandria?

- Yes, of course. - Dear!

If my sister says something to you, You will know where it is.

How are you!

A very sensitive young poet,

... trying to live in a city who lives in full indecency.

Oh! I thought it was just a simple fool.

See it? I am a saint but nobody understands me.

Oh my goodness the Ambassador arrives!

That's for the king.

He wears the dress uniform. It is splendid.

Britain may be very proud.

Now he's waving to Memlik Pasha,

... the Minister of the Interior.

He's a kind of Robin Hood: he steals the rich and kill the poor.

Are you a man?

You are a lovely man!

I'm going to eat you with kisses!

You are like a dream, my dear!

Oh dear, you are magnificent!

But, let me breathe!

Let me breathe!

Channel!

Appeal or call to the police!

- He tried to rape me! - Rape you?

Green old man!

He wanted to rape me!

How dare you?

I feel stupid.

They told me that the Egyptians It was impressive to see someone in uniform.

But I'm drowning and it seems that he is disguised.

No, no way! You are very well.

You look like a woman who discovers that she is pregnant ...

... and that he thinks he is of Jesus.

- Have you told him already? - Well, I haven't been able to.

Pursewarden you are a man very lucky.

I'm going to be your brother- in- law.

It is true.

Last month, unexpectedly,

... good old Mountolive became David.

Damn it! Are you not happy?

Well, give me time. I'm still surprised.

I don't know what to say.

What's wrong with saying: God bless you both?

Nothing.

Nothing.

God bless you both!

Thank you.

Oh, suddenly I feel totally exhausted!

I'll go get the coats.

This will be historical! You have left speechless.

Let's make this Carnival memorable. In your room or in mine?

Get out!

I will stop by your hotel tomorrow afternoon.

- I won't be. - Then I will come the next day.

It's the day I go to the zoo.

Are you doing it out of loyalty to Nessim? Are you that stupid?

I know you won't believe me; I'm sure.

You're a boring, exhausting ...

... and obsessive society lady!

From now on, you're going to have to leave me alone. Have you understood?

When are you going to stop being that old sinful pillow,

... in which we are all going to nail our rusty pins?

The next one!

Tell Nessim I'm coming back to field.

Oh, I'm too drunk Justine!

And it's a bad drunk, for fault of this French wine.

Only the Araki gets drunk as it should.

You are drunk too Justine?

No!

Nessim!

Destroyed.

Finish.

Have thought that the fault was mine.

They have already questioned me, declared innocent ...

... and shattered.

But the consul knows that I'm that bitch

... that was torturing him all night.

My career is over

... finished!

- Justine is to blame! - Justine?

For leaving his ring to Totó.

You should have seen her declare at the police station,

... so calm and graceful, dominating the situation completely.

"Poor Tot! About the ring It was his idea.

"So, I allowed him to take it for a few hours".

What are you talking about?

So everyone would think that Toto was Justine ...

... and he could pass ... a very special night.

You know what I think?

That the idea was hers!

Gave him the ring so they would not recognize her ...

... and be able to do whatever I want.

So ...

... everything ends here.

At such a time,

... how can you know everything so deliciously?

Justine?

Hey? Hey?

Say!

No, I was awake.

They did not want to kill Totó, but you.

Poor Tot!

Any of its countless friends could do it.

Nobody wants to kill me.

If I was Nessim, I would have already killed you.

Enough!

Don't tell me anything else. You won't be able to scare me.

It's ... I'm worried.

I love u

Before you said that you hated me And now that you love me

- Will you call me? - Yes, of course I will.

Goodbye.

Poor thing!

Knows nothing and Neither does Melissa.

I still believe that you know something.

Cohen was a stupid old man.

Apparently I am a simple trader in skins for rich ladies.

But really, I'm in in a very secret matter ...

... of arms smuggling.

It is clear!

So why didn't you tell him anything to Darley to provoke him?

We are authentic fans! It's pathetic.

But, the guns arrive to his destiny.

But in my fantasy when they have to shoot,

... they only use lemon juice

I'm worried about Pursewarden.

Why do you care?

I don't know.

We used to be friends but tonight ...

... has been cold and hurtful.

What kind of man am I to use you as if you were a prostitute?

You are as childish as Darley.

Have you fallen in love with him?

Nessim!

Have you slept with him in this very room!

When I was young, I made love to just a cheap cotton blouse.

Don't you get it?

It's the first time since that he was 12 years old,

... that I don't feel like If I was a whore

School teacher, you were still more child than your students!

In that special moment, I still thought Justine loved me.

How could I suspect that they used me,

... to find out how much he knew Melissa's Cohen?

It was absolutely stupid and useless.

If they thought Melissa it was dangerous,

... they could order that kill her.

But, I guess Nessim was too sensitive for that.

And I suspect Justine would think than seducing a naive teacher,

... it was going to be more fun than to hire an assassin.

But with Pursewarden they were more skilled.

He had access to secret documents from the British Embassy.

That made him very valuable, so ...

... Pursewarden came on the scene.

You are wrong door.

What the hell do you want?

Don't yell! I told him you were English and a gentleman.

- Long! - No, no, stay!

It is that lord of whom I had spoken to you.

Get out of my bed!

Not understand a single English word.

The poor thing was at the station, waiting for the soldiers.

And have you brought her here?

I had the feeling that you You were going to like each other.

You are a bitch!

Get out of here! Come on! Out!

- Go, go! - Come on, get out!

- Pursewarden, are you homosexual? - Yes.

Not seriously. You worry me.

If I refuse to go through your sexual yoke,

... like everyone else in Alexandria, Am I supposed to be a fag?

I plead guilty, ma'am!

Come on, get her out of here!

What are you waiting for?

No no no. Forgive me! It is you. very kind, miss, but ...

How do you say "medias" in French?

Give it to him, you!

Don't take off your stockings!

It's more exciting that way.

Give it to him, Justine!

Don't take off your stockings!

I don't know why I have surprised so much.

I should already meet you.

And nothing bad will come to me to be able to relax a little.

So ... old friend,

...thank you.

Can you wait for me downstairs in the lobby.

No, get dressed, hurry!

Come on, hurry up!

But what happens? Let him come! Let me go!

He is only 16 years old. You're a real old green.

And it's not funny!

- What do you tell me? - It's not funny! - You brought it to me.

The fault is yours!

You can think of everything!

I adore you, but you are a demon!

Two coffees!

- Well? - Trash!

Ah, Colonel Maskelyne!

That I fear.

"A Coptic conspiracy: Nessim and Justine Hosnani. "

I am a world authority about the Hosnani,

... and humbly add, for seven years.

I know there is something wrong. I've been in this my whole life.

Coptic leaders are meeting secretly throughout the Middle East.

They are taking out huge sums of money, which they transport by sea.

The conspiracy idea for Nessim ...

... is to get rates down interest 0.25%.

And as for Justine, my dear friend Maskelyne,

... the truth is that you can't be a nympho ...

... and a conspirator at the same time.

Excellency, can I talk about this matter with you in private?

I think if you could you would kill each other.

David, the truth is all are fantasies.

Couldn't explain anything. Could having said that Coptic Christians ...

... are the only friends of these damn imperialists.

- You don't suspect them, do you? - I like them.

They are the only valuable thing in my seven years in Egypt.

Anyway, why don't you do you personally deal with it?

- That's what I was going to do. - Well.

Speaking of Liza,

... it hurt a lot that you weren't to say goodbye to her.

I did not want you to have carbine ...

... the older brother pestering.

- Come in, dear friend! - Come, I'll read the future!

Has the gift of deciphering the enigmas.

Someone should inform you that the Colonel Maskelyne also has that gift.

- Can I? - Please.

Cuckoo!

We know who you are!

You always manage to be a drunk different. You are very original.

And you're a bloody conspirator.

There is a report,

... titled "The Conspiracy of the Coptic Christians ".

It has twenty- eight pages to a single space.

We Copts always they accuse of any crime.

I only accuse you of being some bloody fools.

Maskelyne has reports on every one of these secret meetings ...

... and all those transfers Of funds.

By God! What do you do with those huge sums of money?

We send them out of the country, for what may happen here.

Muslims are causing many riots in the countryside.

They have already burned many churches. Next time ...

Next time? Wait a minute!

Has anyone ever tried count how many Justines are there?

The Justine as Medea, Solomon or Peter Pan ...

... and now, like Joan of Arc,

... the virtuous maid of Orleans?

Pursewarden, what can I tell you? You have always been a friend.

By not affecting this even remotely to Great Britain,

... I can't consider myself a traitor.

I've only been a more informant,

... with stained tie And reeking of alcohol

- God bless you! - Why?

For being an idiot?

Yes.

For being a wonderful idiot.

Shouldn't you phone them?

Lurking among the bushes, Mr. Cohen?

Perhaps you have a gun and a bottle of perfume.

I knew it: the poet only carry a notebook.

I'm worried about her. I believe that Nessim can harm you.

What innocence of yours! Justine uses to Nessim to warm my feet.

You don't care about Justine, Darley;

... just your failure as a lover.

Touch me again,

... touch me again ...

... and I will have the Embassy declare you crazy and hold your passport.

Help me! Do not stay there like a pole.

Sooner or later, Justine abandons to all his lovers.

You have lasted long enough.

Be satisfied, Mr. Cohen!

That's fine, but if they know about the money,

... how can they not know the weapons thing ...

- ... and where are they going? - They don't have any evidence.

Don't try to calm me down!

What else will appear? in the report?

We are in a mess.

Melissa!

Hello!

Your closet was empty.

You haven't left a note!

It's over. Already everything is dead.

But if weeks ago that I have not seen.

You have not forgotten not a single second.

- I can not stand it anymore. - I will never see her again!

As long as Justine needs you I will not let you go ...

... and you won't be able to do anything to avoid it.

- Melissa, come! - Where are you going to go?

Balthazar says to spend a few days In some clinic it would be good for me.

It's nothing serious; I just need get some rest.

I will never forget how much that we loved each other.

Me neither.

Write me!

I will return with you, always call me

Get well, Melissa! You must do it!

Love problems weren't the only ones that existed in Egypt.

He was on the verge of the civil war.

The British were leaving.

The Christian minority was going to stay At the mercy of the millions of Muslims.

Coptic leaders were scared to press releases.

They met trying to find a solution to your problems.

Now it had reached Narouz the moment to intervene.

Currently our funds they reach the sum of 250,000 piastres,

... that we will use in a propaganda campaign,

... to convince Muslims of that we are not a danger to them.

On the contrary, we are going to do all kinds of commitments and concessions,

... to show them our goodwill.

I propose that we discuss whether we have to form a committee,

... to speak to editors from The Cairo Gazette,

... who have always showed his sympathy in ...

This is the house of God,

... not a bank!

Let's tell the truth!

We have already made concessions ...

... and we are committed.

Have you forgotten who we are and where do we come from?

You no longer remember that Was this our nation?

I can continue with my explanation?

To be Coptic, then, it was an honor!

Why are we going to let them to our children of their rights?

You businessmen you will survive with your bribes.

But what about the rest of us?

Once we were the sap Of Egypt...

... and now we wait like pigs let them come cut our throats!

- What is this man talking about? - Of Copts and Muslims!

We should arm the Bedouins,

... dynamite, set bombs,

... instill in them the fear of God!

- Narouz! - He's gone crazy!

He is a radical who is delirious!

I'm going to stop drinking part in this!

No way!

I tell you that it will cause a disaster and we'll all pay for it.

It's a red! It's a red!

In any group of more of a hundred people,

... there is always an informer.

Narouz endangers the life of all of us.

Listen, Narouz!

I have to talk to you.

- Talk! - Why don't we talk home?

Because I have to finish this. Come on, talk!

It was an open meeting.

I can't stand the banker.

Play two decks at Same time.

Memlik Pasha leaves to find out everything.

You have put us all in great danger.

Sit down! Are you afraid to get your suit dirty?

I will tell Allah to bring you a chair.

He is busy doing your bags.

And where am I going?

In Zurich I have a friend who manufactures agricultural machinery.

Stay a few months to learn the electric pumping system!

Narouz, you have to go!

- Is that what the banker says? - That's what they all say.

And so I say.

When I come back,

I'll take care of her, Narouz.

The weapons we need, they are You send the Jews in Palestine.

I don't want the Jews to have me to offer no hiding!

Listen to me, Narouz!

They are afraid and if not you leave, they will kill you.

Who will kill me? Tell me! Those scared old men?

The merchants? Your wife's bitch?

So you no longer have to worry about your suit ...

He's crazy. I begged him let him go

I told him what could happen to him. I don't know what to do.

I will not allow do you any harm.

Do you think they will wait to destroy us all?

Your weakness is going to be so dangerous as his madness.

He's my brother.

If it was yours, What were you going to do?

Beg and implore him knees to go.

And if he didn't,

... let ... they kill him.

What are you?

ENGLISH SCHOOL

He's hooked! I'm going to get it!

"The speed with which he went as a man in man it was huge.

"But still I lived spellbound with illusion ...

"... that he was the only one at last he knew his soul. "

Who is it?

Someone I know?

Tell me!

"He was capable of any falsehood.

"His greatest invention was that of a kidnapped daughter,

"... when I was still a girl.

"He toured the most sordid city ​​brothels,

"... looking for that lost daughter,

"... that it was none other than she herself.

"I gave him a ..."

Balthazar said no there was no proof ...

... that you would have had no daughter.

I was born in a room of a miserable Izmir hotel.

The night porter had to play midwife.

I was 17 years old.

What have you come here for?

I felt the need for a romantic irish.

What do you want? Let him sing something typical?

What have you been using me for?

To solve a problem domestic what do you have?

What do you want me to tell you? It could be one more lie.

It was the last bus.

I need you to take me to the city.

I have to see Melissa, who is night he returns from the Clinic.

The truth is worse.

I had a girl ...

... and let them take her away.

I don't even know who.

As if it were ... a piece of meat.

You look beautiful. Come on!

Oh, Darley!

Nessim Hosnani?

I have seen your Quran and will occupy a place of honor in my library.

Memlik Pasha, I am very thankful.

I'm glad that the fever you had brother disappeared so soon.

It was nothing about my brother.

And what treatment Has it healed so fast?

The assiduous care.

A relapse would be serious.

Now that I know his family, I will be permanently interested.

You have been very kind interrupting activity and coming here so soon.

And you, allowing me to come.

What a pity not to have frequented before the same social circles!

His elegant wife would have us given a touch of class.

Next time you should bring it with you?

I will be delighted.

Make it soon! Set the date that you prefer with my secretary!

Any day except Tuesday.

I hate Tuesdays.

Allah created the trees Monday.

But on Tuesday, we hung up on its branches to criminals.

Yes, you already told me that Mr. Serapamoun is not there.

But maybe I knew something of him, ever since.

I can't find none of its partners.

Okay. By any chance, gets in touch with you.

... tell him that in the meeting with him Minister everything went very well ...

... and there is no need to worry.

He will understand.

Hello!

Where is my coffee?

Hello!

Hello!

Hey, come on!

Come back!

Come back!

- His eyes are open. - But he doesn't see anything!

I don't know how he's still alive, because He has almost no pulse.

Narouz!

Do you think it's worth it?

((reads a prayer in Coptic))

Get up, guys!

We've been looking for you Mr. Pursewarden.

Oh stay, Pursewarden!

They are better organized never.

I think you could use it have a cup of tea.

In Palestine they have appeared very sophisticated weapons.

We are looking for backup.

As soon as you ask me, I I will volunteer

And I hope...

... don't let them defeat us.

Liza has canceled the wedding.

This morning I received this telegram.

No explanation.

Nothing.

Why?

Do you know, do you?

I can't speak for Liza.

And I, the first, have behaved like an idiot.

See! All that idea ...

... of the blind ambassador,

... reeling in the embassy entrance ...

... and falling right in front of the king.

Shut up!

Then I thought ...

... how wonderful it would be for her ...

... to have a life rich and full;

...a normal life.

I wrote him a letter;

... a letter that said: "Very good! Very good!"

I don't know why, David.

The truth is, I don't know why.

Melissa!

Tell me!

How do you protect yourself against loneliness, Melissa?

Becoming the loneliness itself.

After this, you will spend the night with Darley?

Darley and I no longer see you.

First promise me 700 piastres ...

... and now it says 500.

Take it or leave it!

I'll take it. What I can do?

One month in a clinic, unable to earn anything.

It won't be difficult, because he's half asleep.

I would say ...

... 700 is a price fairly reasonable.

This is the only hotel in town, it always has hot water.

You should write a guide book:

"The hotels of Alexandria".

Rating them with stars. You would earn a fortune.

What is wrong with you?

You do not like me.

You want me to give you back your money?

It's almost 4 o'clock.

Stay and get some sleep?

Why not?

It's not your fault, you know?

It's mine.

Liza,

...my sister and I...

...we are lovers.

We can't love nobody else.

Our parents died soon...

... and we were always together and alone.

We didn't need anyone else.

We live happily for some years.

Oh how happy they are the children!

They do not know what can fall on them the enormous weight of sin.

So then

... we try to get rid each other.

But we could not.

- Are you okay? - Yes, perfect.

If you had seen what I have had to see ...

... and what people really are like, when it comes to sex,

... you wouldn't feel so bad.

You mean that "Out of sight..."

Not seriously. And very important people!

Don't pity me!

She is my victim ...

... and I yours.

That's it.

Who is not the victim someone's?

I'm Darley's and always will be.

And he's Justine's.

Do you really like him, Justine?

I like everyone.

I hate her. And she's not that smart as she believes.

Someday they will find out.

I was about to tell Darley.

But you know what men are like. I wouldn't have believed ...

... or he would have felt hurt in your pride.

She has used him.

They use everyone.

Even Mr. Cohen fell. in its clutches.

"I do business with large personalities of Alexandria ".

Finish and I'll take you home!

- Did you know Mr. Cohen? - Yes, yes.

To marry me he was going to leave his wife, children and everything.

He was so old!

And the British precisely not that you drove him crazy.

Come on, hurry up!

One of those crazy nights

... he got so furious that took me to a warehouse,

... where there were many boxes, you know,

... of bombs and guns.

I remember that in big boxes put ...

... which were "Sewing Machines".

And how did you know that They were not?

I never told anyone but they weren't sewing machines.

Because the Hosnani and others they sent them to Palestine,

... to fight Englishmen.

"To finish off Mr. John Bull",

... said Mr. Cohen.

Why does everyone hate to the English?

To me the king and the queen they seem very dignified.

Why didn't you go to the police?

What has the police for me?

Justine!

Are you rubbing my back?

Hello?

You have a sleeping voice.

Well. Listen carefully and don't interrupt me!

Huh?

Not; I'm not drunk.

I'm just drunk for the beauty ...

... of this wonderful capsule.

Why didn't you talk to me of weapons?

Did you forget?

English youth from laughing faces,

... dropping dead by all of Palestine.

Oh, what a disgusting world!

A real conspiracy ...

... against the Empire!

I have informed Mountolive over you.

Nessim!

What beauty!

It is already dawn.

You better run away!

I reckon you have almost one hour.

Oh, Justine!

It is such a long term as unbearable!

Are you okay?

Of course I do.

House arrest it's not such a bad thing.

The guards are very respectful.

How long will it last ... this arrest?

Until the Egyptians are convinced that we don't arm the natives.

I know we send weapons to Palestine

... so that the Jews can get rid of English dominance.

In return, they they promised shelter,

... if the worst happened.

Thanks for coming.

All of our friends have escaped or are in jail.

It wasn't a bad idea, you know?

I'll be back at 6.

Do you want me to take you somewhere?

Not.

I just came to say goodbye.

Pombal takes me by boat.

So you leave us?

Yes.

Okay. I wish you the best of luck.

Oh! In the end I have not had the opportunity to hear his poems.

What a pity!

What happened to your eye?

After all, they are being very considerate.

They let him out for a few hours.

How wonderful!

I always get to make you anger.

But not this time I reproach you.

With so many lies

... it wouldn't seem very manly to have than forgive so easily

I don't care what Nessim and you would do!

What matters to me is what that you and I had.

You and me!

And that has disappeared.

You and me?

Deep down I didn't care about you neither you nor Pursewarden ...

... nor any other.

Everything I did or thought It was for Nessim.

By plan:

...Palestine.

That's why we got married.

But it's over now.

What are you going to do?

In Switzerland there is money, but ...

Now you have to go.

Is that the reason they leave go out to Nessim for a few hours?

And you prefer all this: falsehoods, lies ...

... and sell you to that filthy pig?

Prefer it to what?

That you remember me in one of your literary essays?

What have I been to you?

Just a fucking stupid what was within your reach?

I have not mattered anything to you?

There have been times when those who have adored you.

Who was that?

A poet.

Memlim Pasha. Now it's up to him.

Who will be next?

That woman is indestructible. It is a monument!

"There have been times when those who have adored you ".

They were the only words of love that Justine once told me.

I will never forgive her.

But I won't be able to forget her either.

I don't want to.
