that makes you stop drinking

- Antabuse.

- Right.

Do they have that

in this godforsaken country

Of course.

I need to take it again.

Yes, I think you do.

Did I ever tell you,

I hate babies

I had no idea.

What a pity; You'd make

such a good mother.

Awful little things.

And you'll be what to this baby

I'll be Grandma -

Grandma Lota.

And you'll be Grandma Cookie.

Grandma

No, no...

I'll be Auntie...

by marriage.

And I'll be Mom.

OK.

Maybe this isn't

such a good idea.

Of course it is.

Help!

Help me!

Help!

Help me!

Stop!

Mom!

- Help!

- Mommy!

Mommy, mommy!

Give me the bottle.

Give me the bottle.

Son of a b*tch, Cookie.

Into that world inverted

Where left is always right

Where the shadows

are really the body

And we stay awake...

Where the heavens are shallow

As the see is now deep

And you love me...

Into that world inverted

Where left is always right

Where the shadows

are really the body

Where we

stay awake all night...

That is like we imagine

knowledge to be -

Dark, clear,

Moving, utterly free

Drawn from the cold, hard,

mouth of the world

Drive from

the rocky breasts forever

Flowing and flown.

Pretend you're floating

on a wild river

and you're very, very scared.

Elizabeth, this telegram

arrived for you.

Open it.

No, I can't.

Telegrams are always bad news.

- Give it to me.

- Don't.

I'll open it.

Sweetheart, please.

Stop it!

I'll open it.

- Cookie...

- What

You're scaring me.

You won the Pulitzer...

for "North and South."

You won the Pulitzer Prize!

Miss Bishop!

Miss Elizabeth Bishop,

Ambassador James Clamenton,

and his wife Mrs. Maridan.

Miss Bishop,

it's a real privilege

to have you here

with us tonight.

Thank you.

It's an honor to be here.

Shall we

When I was in college

and stayed up late,

they punished me

for being 'bohemian.'

Here in Brazil

you all stay up late,

and your best beer

is called Bohemian.

I have always felt alien.

Here in Brazil I am an alien.

I was orphaned young

and have always felt homeless.

So far away from America,

I should feel more alien

and more homeless than ever,

but you treat me like a sister,

and I have never felt

more at home in all my life.

Thank you.

Now you have the Pulitzer -

what else do you want from life

The Nobel Prize for literature.

What about you, Carlos

What do you want

I want to be president.

I will be president of Brazil.

Just Brazil

In fact, today I took

the first step.

The UDN Party invited me to

be their candidate for governor,

and I accepted.

It will be announced tomorrow.

- I hope you win.

- Thank you.

- Here is...

- A toast...

To the future governor

of the State of Guanabara.
