Call Me by Your Name Page #46

ANNELLA is with ELIO in the car. She is driving back to the

villa. ELIO is silent. Oliver’s blue shirt is open over

Elio's bare chest and blows in the wind.

She looks at him. She reaches out with her free hand and

caresses his cheek, the sweetest gesture.

Elio’s face crumples. He starts to cry. She wipes his tears

away with her free hand but he cannot stop.

137 EXT STREETS OF TOWN -AFTERNOON 137

The Perlman car is parked in town. ELIO is alone, sitting on

the passenger seat. The car's radio is playing some summer

song.

In the distance, a group of Elio's friends are walking about.

Among them is MARZIA, who notices the Perlman car, then Elio.

She waves at her friends and leaves them to come towards him.

MARZIA:

Ciao.

Elio notices her only when she is close.

MARZIA (CONT’D)

How are you?

ELIO:

Good, thanks.

87.

Elio tries straightening up to hide his emotions, his face

recently upset by tears.

MARZIA:

(in French)

J'ai lu le livre que

tu m'as offert, les poèmes.

Ils sont très beaux. J’aime

beaucoup cette Antonia Pozzi.

(I read the book you gave me, the

poems, they are beautiful. I really

love Antonia Pozzi.)

“Nell’aria della stanza -non te

guardo -ma già il ricordo del tuo

viso” (In the room’s air -not you

do I look at -but already the

memory of your face)

Elio nods, smiling back at her.

MARZIA (CONT’D)

I'm sorry you feel so bad. I just

wanted to tell you that I'm not mad

at you. I love you. (Je suisdésolée que tu sois si malheureux.

Je voulais juste te dire que je ne

t'en veux pas. Je t'aime.)

Elio is surprised and comforted by Marzia's words. She

extends her hand to him.

MARZIA (CONT’D)

On reste amis?

(Friends.)

Elio shakes her hand, then exits the car and hugs her,

sighing. Annella is approaching.

ELIO:

Pour la vie?

(Forever?)

MARZIA:

Pour la vie.

(Forever)

138 EXT. PERLMAN VILLA -AFTERNOON 138

The car comes through the gate. ANCHISE comes forward and

offers to carry the backpack up to his room, ELIO tells him

that backpacks should be carried by their owners.

ANCHISE:

Il signor Ulliva è partito? (Has

mister Ulliva left?)

ELIO Sì, stamattina. (Yes, this morning)

ANCHISE Anche a me duole. (I too am

saddened).

ELIO avoids his eyes, not wanting to encourage him to say

enters it and looks around. Everything of his has been put

anything further, and goes inside.

ELIO meets MAFALDA coming down the stairs.

MAFALDA:

was.

ELIO frowns, angered by this news.
