I'll tell the cook.

Thank you, you're the kindest person

I've met in a long time.

What are you grinning about,

what's so funny, huh?

Stronzi! Stronzi, che stronzi!

You mustn't call them that.

It has a very insulting meaning.

I know what it means, Miss Black,

and that's what I meant it to mean.

Now tell them to bring the

table over here,

so I can put my chair in the shadow

when I want it in the shadow.

My skin's too delicate to be in the

sun for more than half-hour intervals.

Now tell them what I want

put on the table:

a cold bottle of mineral water,

suntan lotion,

cigarettes, codeine tab, a bucket of ice,

a glass, a bottle of brandy, my newspapers.

The Paris Trib, The Rome Daily American,

The Financial Times,

The Wall Street Journal,

The Daily Express.

What's that goddamned thing?

Something he gave me to give you.

It seems he makes mobiles.

Does he seem like some kind of a

nut case to you?

No.

Help me up, will you? The

sun's making me dizzy.

Oh- god damn, you... broke the

skin with my ring.

Bring a telex report out to me.

Ow! Sh*t on your mother!

God damn it, I'll sign myself

into a criminal institution!

What does this Manders- Sanders

have to say for himself?

His name is Christopher Flanders, and

he wondered if you remembered him or not.

Well, I may have met him sometime, somewhere.

When I used to like to meet people.

Before they all seemed to become the same

person over and over again,

and I tired of that person.

Blackie... you know what I need to get

me over this depression this summer?

What would do more good than all the shots

and pills in the pharmaceutical kingdom?

I need myself a lover.

What do you mean by a lover?

I mean a lover. What do you mean by a lover?

I've only had one lover, my husband

Charles. He died last spring.

Yeah, last spring... it beats me how you

could have a husband named Charles

and not call him Charlie.

Hmm, mixed market with

light trading...

Did he take a bath without resistance?

He seemed happy to bathe.

Did you hang around and have a look at

him in the bathtub?

Naturally. Yes, of course.

Well, I would've looked.

I'm not a child of nature,

as you say you are.

Pity...

The only clothes he as are the

ones the dogs demolished,

so I suppose you'll have to

provide him with something to wear.

I'll provide him with

something to wear.

That should be an

interesting costume for him.

Robe of a professional Japanese warrior.

Put that in the pink villina.

Oh, wait.

- With the sword?

- Heheh... Yeah, why not?

A man has the right to defend himself if he

wants to. Now, do that, and do this:

Call the uh, Witch of Capri.

The one that wired me last month,

Tennessee Williams

Thomas Lanier "Tennessee" Williams III (March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983) was an American playwright. Along with Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, he is considered among the three foremost playwrights of 20th-century American drama.After years of obscurity, at age 33 he became suddenly famous with the success of The Glass Menagerie (1944) in New York City. This play closely reflected his own unhappy family background. It was the first of a string of successes, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), and Sweet Bird of Youth (1959). With his later work, he attempted a new style that did not appeal to audiences. Increasing alcohol and drug dependence inhibited his creative expression. His drama A Streetcar Named Desire is often numbered on short lists of the finest American plays of the 20th century alongside Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.Much of Williams' most acclaimed work has been adapted for the cinema. He also wrote short stories, poetry, essays and a volume of memoirs. In 1979, four years before his death, Williams was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame. more…
