132 EXT. STRADA CON FONTANA -BERGAMO -DAWN 132

OLIVER holds ELIO's forehead as he pukes. Elio stands away

from the wall making an "I'm okay now" gesture, and goes to

the fountain nearby to splash water on his face.

ELIO:

It's the best day of my life and Iend it with puking!

Oliver looks around to check that nobody is looking and

starts kissing him again. Elio lets himself go.

85.

With his eyes still closed he hears male voices passingnearby muttering something against them, but he doesn't care.

IT’S THE KISS OF A LIFETIME.

133 INT. HOTEL BEDROOM -DAWN 133

OLIVER and ELIO are hugging on their hotel bed. OLIVER looks

at ELIO sleeping. A HISSING sound in the distance.

134 EXT. BINARIO -STAZIONE DI CLUSONE -DAY 134

It is the sound of a train arriving at the station, on the

main platform.

ELIO and OLIVER together look at the train come to a stop.

ELIO is wearing Oliver’s blue shirt. On the platform are a

few travellers ready to leave. Oliver's bags are those for

his trip back home; they are about to say goodbye.

The train doors open, some people come out, others get in

while saying their goodbyes to their counterparts.

Elio and Oliver aren't moving, they try to delay the

inevitable, if only for a few seconds. The voice on the

intercom informs that the Express train for Rome is about to

depart from Platform 1.

ELIO:

Did you get your passport?

OLIVER:

Yeah, I did.

The travellers are all on the train, except for Oliver..

The conductor is a few cars down, looking at his watch. Amoment of suspended, cruel silence.

OLIVER (CONT’D)

There's emptiness behind your eyes/

there's dust in our hearts/ Love my

way, it's a new road...

Elio listens to these words, which Oliver starts to sing

sweetly, whispering.

OLIVER (CONT’D)

I follow where my mind goes, so

swallow all your tears, my love/

And put on your new face/ You can

never win or lose, if you don't run

the race.

They hug. OLIVER grabs his bags and enters the train.

86.

The train leaves. Elio watches it disappear in the distance.

Wiped out, he walks along the platform and sits on a bench,

his gaze lost in thoughts. After a long beat he stands and go

to the...

135 EXT. PHONE BOOTH -STAZIONE DI CLUSONE -DAY 135

ELIO dials a number on a public phone, he does so

mechanically. A few moments later somebody picks up.

ELIO:

Mafalda? Maman... Bonjour. Oui, je

vais bien. Je suis à Clusone, à la

gare. Oui... il est parti. Maman,

s'il te plaît, tu pourrais venir me

chercher?

(Mafalda? Mom... Hey. Yes, I'm

fine. I'm in Clusone, at the

station. Yes.. he left. Mom..

please could you come pick me up?)
