N (Io e Napoleone) Page #2

Synopsis: Elba island, 1814. Martino is a young teacher, idealist and strongly anti Napoleon, in love with the beautiful and noble Baroness Emily. The young man finds himself serving as librarian to the Great Emperor in exile, whom he deeply hates, yet soon begins recording Napoleon's memoirs, getting to know and learning to value the man behind the myth. Among seductions and affairs, expectations and fears, he will craft a precise portrait that nevertheless will not manage to hide a final, inevitable, disappointment.

but what does that matter?

I don't feel like leaving

for three months.

I feel uneasy and wary,

I don't know why.

Marseilles, Genoa, Barcelona,

Gibraltar, Lisbon!

- Some people would pay to do it.

- Exactly!

Don't you want to be a writer?

New worlds, customs, traditions.

A writer mustn't go

dawdling around...

he must be the eyes and voice

of his country.

I must stay here

and see what that scoundrel does...

and bear witness to it.

Uneasy and wary my foot,

I know why you don't want to leave!

What do you know?

That old, foul,

Miss Big Buns is back.

- Quiet, you idiot!

- I'll speak when I please.

You're no Jacobin,

you're just the Countess's plaything...

and she's a whore!

What are you saying, you idiot!

- She's a Baroness, not a Countess.

- She's not a whore!

How dare you, you spinster!

- How dare you?

- How you dare!

Don't you dare touch your sister!

Dreadful rats!

- You're nothing but beasts!

- What did I do?

So?

Truce! Truce!

- Truce!

- Truce! Truce!

- Shame on us, we're siblings.

- We're shameful!

What did dad say before he died?

- I know.

- Let's say it again.

- "Be a mother to him".

- "Be a father to him".

Both.

- We love you...

- Yes.

That's why we tell you

to not lock yourself in your room...

acting as if you were

Dante Alighieri and we were...

- Two lumps of sod!

- Yes.

Now be good, go pack,

and set sail.

No.

- Mirella?

- Yes.

Put all his things in a sack...

and place it outside

because I am leaving...

but you're not staying

in this house, get out!

- Ferrante...

- Don't Ferrante me!

Do as he says, actually...

I'll do it myself.

Farewell!

Ferrante...

Martino...

What a mess!

Don't go.

- Stop crying.

- I'm not crying!

Don't make things worse.

- I'm not crying!

- That's the way.

Let's go!

Farewell, brother.

Goodbye! I'll miss you.

Forgive me.

Hurry up!

Prepare yourselves!

Arms to the right.

Arms to the left.

- Good morning, master teacher.

- Alas, I'm no longer a teacher.

Good morning anyway.

Emilia?

Emilia?

- Mr. Martino.

- Is Madam in her room?

In an impossible mood!

Notary Baccelli

and Councilor Mainardi are here.

- She used unkind words with us.

- Bad words!

- You might want to return later.

- Excuse me.

Not again? Please!

That sea voyage was a nightmare,

I was sick to my stomach.

My grandmother used to say...

"For us residents of Citta di Castello,

the sea gives us rotgut."

I don't want to see anyone,

you handle evetything.

I'll leave the tray and be off.

Oh my!

Oh my!

I can't believe it's you!

Welcome back.

- Are you angry with me?

- Why?

I didn't inform you I had arrived.

But I'm glad you're here,

I have something to tell you.
