Breaking Away Page #3

I got to live in this stinking town,

and I got to read in the newspapers...

about some hotshot kid,

new star of the college team.

Every year it's going to be a new one...

and every year, it's never

going to be me. [Scoffs]

I'm just going to be Mike.

20-year-old Mike.

30-year-old Mike.

Old mean old man Mike.

These college kids here are never

gonna get old or out of shape...

'cause new ones

come along every year.

They're going to

keep calling us cutters.

To them,

it's just a dirty word.

To me, it's just something else

I never got a chance to be.

[ Reading In Italian ]

Mamma mia!

[ Horn Honks ]

Signorina

Signorina!

Signorina!

Signorina, Signorina,

you,uh-

Is yours, no?

[Scoffs] You mean you've

been chasing me with this?

Is nothing.

Niente, signorina.

What, are you an exchange

student or something?

S''. I am italiano.

My name is Enrico Gimondi.

My name is Katherine Bennett.

Ah, Catherina.

Catherina.

Well, thanks again...

again. Bye.

Ciao.

[ Pop, Hiss]

Son of a b*tch!

All right, keep it steady!

Keep your elbows bent!

That's- That's right!

Pick it up, Kath! 30!

Hi.

What are you doing, Kathy?

Goddamn it!

I want an answer, Evelyn. What

are we going to do about him?

I don't know, dear.

We could always

strangle him while he's asleep.

That's not funny, Evelyn.

Why don't you talk to him?

I'm afraid to talk to him. I'm

afraid to look at him. [Sighs]

I'm afraid if I did, his eyes

would be twirliin' like pinwheels.

Mmm.

I'm only giving you these because

you promised to calm down.

Don't expect any more.

J"J" [ Italian Opera]

I can't eat with that noise on.

Evelyn, he's not even in his room.

Stop!

What the hell are you doing?

Them's my French fries!

Oh, Mama!

Evelyn!

Oh, my God, what's the matter?

Mio cuore. My heart.

Oh, my heart!

It's these damn French fries. Hey,

they're my damn French fries.

I have such a pain in my heart,

Mama, Papa.

[ Sighs ]

I'm in love.

If [ Rock]

Suzy says this guy sent you flowers.

So what?

You never sent me flowers.

Who is he, Kath?

Some crazy guy I met.

God, what's gotten into you?

Buon giorno.

Mama! Mama!

Mama, the Italians are coming!

They're coming to race in Indianapolis!

The team Cinzano!

Oh, grazie tanto, Santa Maria.

Oh, Dave, try not

to become Catholic on us.

Grazie, signore.

Molte grazie!

Faster.
