Night Across the Street Page #2
You've got me there.
Your turn. So, out of date.
Yes, Monsieur Giono... Out of date.
Cheers, then.
Cheers.
Tell me, Giono,
why didn't you change your name?
Guess.
If I were you,
if I wanted to disappear,
or to go as far away as possible,
To begin with I did.
I called myself Fabrice Rivaud.
Very nice.
Nice name.
Yes, but they caught up with me.
So you'd rather be called Jean Giono again.
Yes.
That way everyone knows,
So they leave me alone.
When I retire I'm going to do the same thing.
I'll change my name.
I thought you were retired.
I've always been retired.
I haven't done anything for years.
I go to the office,
I sit down and wait.
Wait?
What are you waiting for?
For the man who's going to kill me.
I see. Actually, no, I don't see.
Neither do I.
It's just a turn of phrase.
Tell me, Don Celso,
who's your favorite historical figure?
Who's your favorite historical figure?
Ludwig van Beethoven.
Why?
Because he was misunderstood.
We had to be born so that
he'd be recognized as a genius.
I don't like him.
Young people should like dance music.
You have to be old to like Beethoven.
Still, it's funny that a boy like you
is interested in music like that.
Do you think they'll change the grade?
Depends. Hopefully the married men won.
The bachelors will have won.
They're in better shape.
Beethoven was thoughtful.
He listened without saying a word.
They paved this road five years ago.
In two years,
the hospital of Quilpu will be ready.
There are plans to open
To train the best doctors in Chile.
- Do you want to be a doctor?
- Yes.
I wanted to be a pilot before,
but there's more of a future in medicine.
Actually, I want to be like you.
Like me?
Yes, like you, but in medicine.
I'd like to be a musician as well.
A musician?
We musicians
were put on this earth to suffer.
Hold that!
everybody laughs at what we do.
We die of hunger.
So, medicine, here you can
make money out of medicine.
Have you seen Carlos?
No.
What do you mean, no?
Who were you talking to?
- Beethoven.
- Beethoven?
Of course, people call you Beethoven.
Hey, Beethoven!
- Who wrote The Italian Caprice?
- Tchaikovsky.
- And The Italian Symphony?
- Mendelssohn.
Congratulations,
nearly everyone gets that one wrong.
You should enter the competition
on the radio,
Quilpu needs a champion.
If you see Carlos
tell him everyone's looking for him
and that he's in trouble at home.
Uproar.
Agitation.
The Symphonic Orchestra of Chile
was beginning
the second movement of the Fifth,
Carlos Guerrero
