Well, then...
what are you doing here?
We...
We...
I can't hear you well...
But what are you doing here?
Boys!
Come and see!
We did ourselves proud.
All the Italians did themselves proud
that year in San Francisco.
We were the heroes of the hour.
Nobody talked of anything
but us and our "Tower of Jewels"
Italian Foremen With Their Workers
We worked there as their laborers.
We made some money
and bought ourselves
some fancy new suits.
At the Expo, they were showing
another great Italian success!
There was one man in the crowd wanted
to see the picture again at once.
By himself.
He paid for the theatre and orchestra.
That man, destined to have
a great influence over our lives,
was the most famous
film-director in all of America.
D.W. Griffith.
Send a wire:
"To Pastrone, director
of 'Cabiria', Italy.
Your picture
is greater than all of mine.
"Tonight,
you made me realize
the film I am shooting
is taking me off course.
I am cancelling it."
He said "cancel", Mr. Grass?
We already... we already
made the calls for Monday.
That's right! A hundred
extras, six automobiles...
- Won't we rehearse the actors?
- Wait a minute, just shut up.
Enough!
"And I don't know whether to
be grateful or... I hate you.
D.W. Griffith."
Never mind.
Artists communicate through their work.
There he is!
- Have the Italians done it again?
- How does it compare?
What impressed you most
about "Cabiria"?
Everything!
Everything? Could you be
a little more specific?
A sequence? Or an image?
The elephant.
The black elephant!
Thompson, will you bring Mrs. Griffith?
Is it true that you plan to stop
production of your present film?
It is!
A disaster!
- Stroke of luck!
- How's that, sir?
You write this down!
It will become part of a fresco.
Then you resume production...
...along the lines of the
Italian "Cabiria", sir?
Three hundred times
greater than "Cabiria"!
Are you thinking about your old idea?
"Intolerance", I can always tell
when it crops up in your head.
Get closer!
David, what are you doing?
It's pouring!
Who built this?
The Italians!
It's the Italian pavilion,
Mr. Griffith!
Italians, M. Griffith!
It's always the Italians!
Those endowed Italians!
I want them.
They must be gone
by now, Mr. Griffith!
They finished build
the expo a month or so!
I want the man who built this!
He'll have to go to work for me!
I want the construction
foreman, Mr. Grass!
"Intolerance!"
The two artists you want
they're leaving for Italy today
with most of their workers!
I know because they are
members of this Italian club.
