Nostalgia Page #2

Later she ran off with the children

Jealous my foot, he's nuts

That's not it, he was just scared

Scared of what?

Everything

You're wrong, he's a man

of great faith

And how, he kept his family

locked up for 7 years!

When they broke down the door

his kid shot out like a rat

and he chased after him

We thought he wanted to kill him!

Here's the Russian poet!

Miss, I don't smoke

but could I have a cigarette?

Of course, as you don't smoke

It's gone out.

-So it has

Thank you

Never forget what he said to her

He who?

And her?

Saint Catherine!

So what did God say

to St. Catherine?

"You are she who is not"

"but I am he who is"

Did you hear that?

Bravo, Domenico!

Did he speak to St. Catherine

himself?

Don't tease him

Domenico has a degree!

In what?

What is "faith"?

Even your Italian was better

when you first came

What does "faith" mean?

In Russian it's "vera"

Why do they say he's mad?

He's not mad.

He has faith

There are lots of these lunatics

at large in Italy

Asylums have been closed down

but the families won't have them

What is madness?

They're troublesome, inconvenient

We refuse to understand them

They're alone

But they're certainly

closer to the truth

He has another fixation now

What?

He gets into the pool with

a lighted candle

Everyone's afraid he wants

to drown himself

so they throw him out and save him

I don't believe it

Ask them

Can we ask him to have lunch

with us?

When?

-Now!

Now - you don't know what time is it

What time is it?

-It's 7 in the morning!

In the morning?

Does that man with the wet shoes

come often?

It depends. Sometimes he does,

sometimes he doesn't

Where does he live?

Up above Bagno Vignoni

In the square

What's so funny?

Andrei!

Stop!

Why?

You're prettier

in this light

I'm beginning to understand

What?

Why do you think he locked up

his family for 7 years?

How should I know?

There he is

I've brought a famous

Russian writer

My life is normal, there's

nothing interesting about it

But we hear you had

a lovely experience

I read about it too, in the papers

Tell him about it

It's not worth it

Maybe not, but this gentleman

has come from Moscow

For me?

He's come a long way

What did he say?

-He doesn't feel like talking

Try again,

it's very important

Stop for a minute!

-Go!

What's wrong?

Have you offended him?

You've offended me!

He's crazy! It's not up to me

whether he talks or not!

I'm going!

You try

you know a bit of Italian

If you don't like the way I work

say so

But I'm a good translator

and I even improve on the original

I'm going back to Rome.

Our trip's over

All right

Excuse me

I think I know why you did that
