"He's still standing there." "What's up?" "Do you want a fight?" "Look here, it's just nonsense." "Are you crazy?" "Oh no, don't!" "Don't!" "Don't be foolish." "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "ESKIMO WOMAN FEELS COLD" "Starring:" "Director of photography:" "Andrés Matkocsik Directed by Jénos Xantus" "Ladies and gentlemen, you are kindly requested to stop smoking and fasten your seat-belts." "Put your seats in upright position and put your boards into the starting position." "In a few minutes we shall be landing at Budapest airport." "The local time is 19.00 hours and the temperature is 19 degrees C." "Thank you for your attention." "It was just wonderful." "Really?" "Thanks. I'm glad to meet you and thanks for coming." "It's a shame, Laci." "It's a shame that you didn't attend the jubilee concert." "Congratulations." "Your mother and the others are also here." "I recognised them." "Aren't we going to celebrate?" "No." "Doggy!" "Even the greatest artist has dreams which he is ready to enclose in any ofthe marble blocks, which, when opened, is found by the hand guided by the soul." "Would you lend me your car?" "Take it, but ask your mother first, and we'll take a taxi." "Don't you want to come home?" "You're so abominable." "In any case, you drank alcohol." "As a matter of fact, who are you?" "Don't look at me like that." "Why do you look at me like that?" "You're like my mother." "This girl keeps gazing at me." "She loves me and she follows me wherever I go." "She knows me well." "We quarrel as though we were married for six years, although this is the first time I've met her." "How good that you're here." "I adore you." "But I prefer the blond ones." "I want a blond one." "Well, this is the girl I want." "Exactly." "L'm looking into her eyes and..." "Ijust can't make it out." "You're crazy." "Is this the house?" "Yes." "Do you live here?" "Yeah." "We can also meet tomorrow, can't we?" "Ok." "Come, pick me up." " Here?" " No, not here." "When?" "In the morning?" "No." "I'll work tomorrow." "I see." "And where do you work?" "21." "Benczur street." "Pick me up there, okay?" "At 4 p.m., or 3." "Okay?" "Okay." "Bye." "Go home." "Bye." " Hi." " Hi." "What's up?" "Why did you come here?" "I was in the neighbourhood and I thought" "I'd come and see you." "Is there anything wrong?" "No, nothing." "Ijust thought I'd ask you if you had a nice dress to lend me, you know." "At last you see reason." "L'm fed up with everyone going about normally dressed and only I am wearing such impossible clothing." "I've got a brand new Chanel dress, Ijust received it from Paris, it will suit you." "And I also have a skirt to spare." "L'm alone." "Come on in." "The direction in which we should go can be decided." "However the path is winding, and sometimes we have spring in winter." "Still, there is no hope, believe me, We need a lot of wisdom and faith," "And you refuse to make a start." "If there's no love at the bottom of your heart." "One may walk or run along the path of life." "And when we are in the shadow or in a fog, We can't even see beyond our nose." "I always look towards south And never to the north." "The flame is warmer than ice, Love me always, that's the price." "Listen, do you think I could make a singer?" "Well, I'm so ashamed of myself." "I've never asked anyone, except you." "But you like me, I know." "And you also understand music, so tell me if you think I could make a singer." "Nonsense." "Tell me only if you like my singing." "You sang very beautifully." "Then let's form a band, shall we?" "You'll be making music and I'll be singing." "And I can also write poetry." "Well, then, lets form a band, okay?" "Okay." "Shall we drink some more champagne?" "L'm completely drunk and I speak nonsense." "But never mind, let me talk nonsense and then I'll fall asleep, anyway." "And you'll take me home right?" "I hope you don't mind." "I don't." "Oh, no, take me home." "Come to my place, will you?" "I can't go now." "Why can't you come?" "I'd love to go." "It would be so good, but..." "Never mind." "Ring me up at home, here's my phone number." "You can call me anytime, Jénos is completely deaf." "He was born deaf and dumb." "Is Jénos your husband?" "Yes." "I'll go home right now and tell him everything." "But I'm sure he'll know everything." "He can anticipate everything." "You know, deaf people can anticipate things." "But Jénos is a genius." "You must meet him some day." "You don't have to be afraid, Jénos is different from the others." "I feel as though he were my father, or elder brother, or something." "I'll tell you about it later." "Ring me up by all means, okay?" "Okay." "What do they take me for?" "Is he your father or brother?" "Are they crazy?" "L'm not afraid, what should I be afraid of?" "Ofthe deaf man?" "Good heavens, what company I got into." "They're deaf." "What's up?" "Why on earth are you staring at me?" "Are your eyebrows immobile?" "Wait a minute." "What's the matter?" "Nothing special." "No, no, I don't want it, I don't need it now." "Don't you see I'm recording something?" "I don't need a compress now." "All right but don't shout." "I'm not deaf." "A nice, polite boy, you are." "Someone is waiting for you on the phone." "Who the hell is she?" "Kate?" "I told you to tell her I'm out." "If only you put the receiver back into position." "No, no I don't wantit." "I don't need it now." "Don 't you see, that I'm recording something?" "I don 't need a compress now." "All right, but..." "Let's have some new adventures." "Fair stands the wind for the French coast All our sails are set," "Let's try it, we can't hesitate any longer." "Throw your degenerated life out of the window as if it were a piece of shit and produce a new one instead." "Oh, fabulous Africa..." " Hi!" "~ Hi!" "How are you?" " Come on in." " Thanks." "Let's go to the kitchen, Jénos wants to talk to you anyway." "Come on." " I composed some music." " Oh, you did?" "And I came here to present it to you." "Let me hear it." "It's fantastic." "You'd better use the headphones, you'll hear it better." "But you won't hear it then." "I can make it so that both you and I can hear it." "Here's the position ofthe button but it's difficult to find." " Well?" " Yeah." "Wait a minute." "What music is it?" "Serious?" "No, I'm going to sing it." "Pop music or disco music?" "No, it's nice music, composed by Laci." "I don't like disco music." "What did he say?" "He says he dislikes disco music." "Ask him if he really loves you." "Jénos wants me to ask you if you really love me." "Tell him its our business." "He says it's the business ofthe two of us." "Jénos says hes got no one else except me." "And that you shouldn't take me away from him." "He speaks as though I wanted to marry you." "Why?" "Don't you want to marry me?" "Jénos says he knows that I love you more than him." "Since I met you I've changed a great deal." "I've been singing all the time in the mornings and in the evenings." "I dress well and I wear nice dresses." "I've been using lipstick." "L'm waiting for him, I'm waiting for you all the time." "That's what Jénos says." "You can't do anything." "You can't prevent it." "When you married me you knew that I'd leave you some day" "because you are deaf and I can hear and it's good like that." "This is not true, this is not the case." "I want to stay with you." "Laci!" "Laci, don't go away." "We always do like that, but it is not a problem, don't worry about it." " What's the matter?" "Do you feel sick?" " Yes." "Jénos wants to know if you want us to accompany you part of the way" " or to call a taxi?" " I don't want a taxi." "Laci!" "Let's elope." "Or try to do something." "Damn it!" "What happened?" "We've got to stop at that point..." "Oh, his face." "What was his face like?" "Fearful?" "Or rather friendly?" "I must try to remember everything." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Excuse me but I'm not feeling well." "But it's not your reason for attempting suicide, I hope?" "No, it's not." "Leave the bridge, please." "Quickly." "Don't you have a family?" "Go home as quickly as you can." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." "Who are you thinking of?" "Laci?" "Would you like to see him?" "Yes." "Do you love him?" "I don't know." "But I'm thinking of him all the time." "It's not certain that he'll come back." "Perhaps he'll forget you." "You're right." "I don't want him." "I love you." "I want to be with you." "I want to interpret for you." "I did a good job with the manager today, didn't I?" "Yes, you did a fine interpreting job." "I'll forget Laci." "L'm not interested in Laci." "Are you trembling?" "L'm so cold." "L'm afraid you've got some temperature." "Put on some clothes." "It's not important, I only..." "You only?" "You only?" "L'm only too happy." "Look, my feet have sunk so deep." "Look!" "It's such a bad feeling to realize that we'll die." "Do you ever think of that?" "What do you mean?" "Well, after sixty or seventy years we won't be alive." "Oh dear, I lost my ear-ring." "Which one?" "I had it in my ear short while ago." "I must find it." "It's so beautiful." "You know, the little fish." "Do you want a glass of water?" "Calm down and tell me once again what you want." "Start it all over again because I don't understand anything." "That man robbed me of my wife." "He took her with him by force." "How do you know?" "Did you see them?" "I didn't." "Well, then, what do you really want?" "Perhaps your wife loves the other man more than you." "Impossible." "She loves me." "I can't work without her." "She interprets for me in the Zoo." "I see." "But listen." "Why don't you come to the association headquarters more often?" "There are good programmes there, you can watch TV, films are often screened..." "Stop barking." "I want my wife back." "You don't know life." "Maybe." "I don't know life because" "I don't know death, either." "You need to kill if you want to know death." "Come off it." "Don't talk nonsense." "Come off it!" "L'm fed up with you." "Who do you want to kill?" "You don't know what it is to kill someone." "You'd better bring your wife here and then we'll try to help you." " Goodbye." " I don't need help." "You behave as though I were a child." "I am a grown up and I can manage my own affairs." "I don't need any assistance, I can manage on my own." "Don't talk nonsense." " Go down." " I won't." "Go down at once." "VVhy?" "I'll tell you later but now go down to the cabin straight away." "I won't and I don't need your explanation." "As for me, we may as well die here." "I really want to go home." " Laci..." " Yes?" "Come here." "I love you so much." "And do you know why I love you so much?" "I don't." "Because you didn't want to do it to me on the first day." "What?" "You know what I mean." "It's just fantastic that we haven't done it yet." "You are fantastic." "Tomorrow we'll go to the seaside." "I saw a lighthouse which is not on the map." "I'll take you." "I could take you in this car to India, Turkey or anywhere you like." "Let's buy some cherries." "To tell you the truth, I've never slept with anyone except Jénos." "Understand?" "Why is it a problem?" "Because we didn't do it in the normal fashion." "Or I should say I don't know what the normal way is, but I know that I don't enjoy it." "I only..." "Tell me." "I can't." "Carry on talking." "No, no." "Wait." "Wait..." "I'll do it." "Let's go to the open air and there." "Okay?" "Now come, come on." "I'll take off my pants." "How magnificent." "It will be wonderful." "She said that she's afraid of me because I refuse to tell her anything." "And that she'll leave this place because she'll simply die if she stays on." "And after that she did not hesitate to make me give a massage to her tiny feet and said in the meantime:" ""No, it's good like that, not there but there..."" "And I had my whole body in a spasm." "Why didn't you wake me up?" "I listened to your tape." "It was so wonderful, it made me cry." "And I also wrote words for the music." "Do you want me to sing it?" "Yes." " Then you should make music to accompany it, right?" " Okay." "And don't look at me in the meantime, okay?" "In the morning in the bath tub In the jet of hot water," "In the shoe shop at noon, Was it a sonic boom?" "It's more attractive than an ice show Featuring an Eskimo," "It cannot be so beautiful, It cannot be so cold," "Your hands have taken cold." "A faultless figure of a mariner" "Cannot be nicer and colder." "Take care of me on the bus, And on the streetcar," "On the Metro and on the train, In the summer and in the winter" "When a plane is high Up in the sky" "And while a taxi is around, waiting on the ground," "And take care of me on the cog-rail" "Both uphill and downhill." "You heard the Trabant group with Mary Posta singing." "And now it's again the Panther Blues." "Damn!" "You were good." "Magnificent!" "What's the matter?" "Come, lets go." "Good, isn't it?" "Yeah." "I think I could also sing it, perhaps even better than Panther." "Or would it be stupid of me to do?" "Now come with me." "Come." "Let's go home." "I wont go anywhere, understand?" "Leave me alone, go to hell, get lost." "I'II be leaving soon." "His body's like that of a panther, His eyes are brown or yellow." "He's learnt it, the jolly good fellow, Quite surprising" "Or he's known it from the beginning, that's why I like him." "He reported me to the security police." "He was in college then." "What does "Eskimo Ice Show" actually mean?" "I was named Eskimo woman by Jénos along while go." "In the language ofthe deaf and dumb this is how they express the Eskimo, and this is the symbol for woman." "I had a pair of Eskimo socks." "I wore them when Jénos saw me for the first time." "They were of an Eskimo pattern." "Since then they have become well-worn." "They were terribly attractive." "I had just made my escape from the reformatory, it was the third successive time." "I always ran away because I hated being there." "I was walking in the Zoo, and I remember when I caught sight of Jénos, he was cleaning the cages there." "He took some time to notice me and indicated to me to go round." "I found out then that he was deaf and dumb." "And I remained with him." "The rock that accommodates lions also houses some small rooms and big halls like this." "It was there where Janos hid me, because I had run away from the reformatory and it was certain that] was sought by the police." "He always brought food for me and got a television set from somewhere and so I could always watch the serial on a well-trained police dog's adventure." "Later we ventured into town, climbed the fence there in the back, jumped on a freight train and went to Lake Balaton." "And when I was 16 years old, Janos went to the Institute of the Deaf and Dumb and made arrangements to marry me." "And so he did." "What are you laughing at?" "It's a tune that came to my mind and made me laugh." "What tune?" "Here it is." "Hi." "It's so good to be with you again." "I missed you very much." "Let's embrace each other." "Listen." "If you want, I'm prepared to go to bed with you." "Do you want to?" "Come here." "What are you waiting for?" "I don't want to." "But I'd like it so much." "How do you like it with Laci?" "Is it good with him?" "Laci is not interesting at all." "He is not interesting." "Is it good to make love with him?" "Tell me!" "No." "Tell me, it's good to make love with him." "Please, tell me it's good." "Yes." "It's good to make love with Laci." "It's good." "Speak up." "Yes, it's very good." "I can only think of him right now." "Laci, my dear Laci..." "I like this summer morning so much that I don't know when I can eventually fall asleep." "Perhaps when this pain is over." "It's so bad to be alone." "If only I had a friend, or a girlfriend around..." "Well, I could do with a girlfriend at the moment." "It's not interesting, it'll soon be morning." "And the friends and girlfriends will all wake up everywhere in the world at large." "Of course, the time depends on the time-belt." "In Greenwich, for example, you must get up very early." "Here in Hungary, getting up is left to the conscience of everyone." "For we know the saying:" "early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." "Yes?" "Who is speaking?" "Oh, ifs you, Mary." "The truth is That I'II go mad." "The truth is Not to say a word is too bad." "Well, here's the ham and I've also bought some sausage, the brand you liked so much." "And here's some whisky." "I stole it from your father." "Your father is very desperate and he has good reason." "He doesn't even go for a walk in the afternoons now, he says he doesn't feel like it." "And here are a lot of letters." "From London, from the Ministry and from Interconcert." "They are still writing to you." "At least you should read them." "Throw them into the waste paper basket or you can do whatever you like." "Don't give my phone number to anyone." "And you shouldnt ring me up either." "My dear Laci..." "The truth is" "That I'II go mad." "The truth is" "Not to say a word is too bad." "But wh y am I like that?" "Why do I do it?" "Hi!" "Are you crazy?" "You're completely drunk and you'll spoil my make-up." "Why don't you get undressed?" "Is there anything to eat?" "I did the laundry and I did the rooms." "Look!" "Look at this!" "I bought it the other day." "Where were you last night?" "Where did you sleep?" "At Jénos's place." "At Jénos's?" "I don't believe it." "And what happened?" "Nothing." "We came across each other quite incidentally at Calvin Square." "At Calvin Square?" "And however did you get there?" "I was walking there." "The weather was so nice and I thought Id..." "You were walking there?" "Do you take me for a fool?" "Yes, I was walking." "And where else were you walking?" "On Castle Hill." "And on Népkéztérsaség Avenue." "And I bought an ice cream." "What kind?" "Coconut and vanilla." "What was it like?" "What do you mean?" "The ice-cream." "What was it like?" "Nice?" "It was nice." "What brought you here?" "Hi." " Want some?" " No." "What's this?" "Is this guitar yours?" "It's mine." "I play the guitar." "What's the news?" "Did you come to live here?" "Go away, okay?" "Go away." "Did you have a fight?" "What's the matter?" "Can't you see?" "However did Jénos get here?" "Did he come here?" "He's here although no one asked him to come." "Why do you do this to me?" "I told you." "He's here though no one asked him to come." "Where are the words of your song?" "He's here though he hasn't been invited," "He's looking at me but I can't see his eyes." "All I remember is that I didn't" "Understand what he was saying." "I move over from the chair into the armchair," "It's better if I leave early today." "Everything got mixed up completely," "And I don't know whafs going to follow." "He doesn't listen to me If I look into his face," "And that always upsets me." "He tells me something which I don 't understand," "It's too late and too early." "I adore you." "Come, come here." "Don't strangle me." "It's so bad and I'm so sad." "L'm not sad." "If only you saw what became of you." "A miserable servant." "I am no servant." "You always do the laundry." "Because you refuse to do it." "And you look so terrible." "What are you up to?" "Look, how the instinct for life is working inside it." "It wants to live." "Like us." "In vain do I torture it, it sticks to me." "If it were left alone, it would die." "A heart whose parts cannot be glued It keeps inviting me," "The way it dances around Is quite unforgettable." "I might as well feel bored But the dream now is a veil." "And it is impossible to move aside." "Or to the other side opposite you Where there is no view." "It's difficult for me to get up I still have the dream on me," "And I find the morning Too tiring..." "I refuse to get up and go out, Instead I continue sleeping." "I still have the dream on me," "And I find the morning Too tiring..." "So I refuse to get up." "Where on earth can I find the bloody stockings?" "I think you'd better start now." "Good that you're not made to wash Mary's pants as well." "Laci, are you asleep?" "No." "You're not asleep." "Come here!" "Come over here." "I'd like you to." "Well, what would you like to do, tell me." "No, no, wait a minute." "I'll turn around." "No, don't, it gives me pain." "No, don't." " No, don't!" " But I will." "No, don't, please don't." "You're a bad person because you don't love me." "At last I'm full of energy." "And I'll soon die." "Well, it's all the same, we're going to die anyway." "Why on earth is the dog barking?" "The truth is That I'II go mad." "The truth is Not to say a word is too bad." "But wh y am I like that?" "Why am I doing that?" "It will come to light When ifs all over." "Oh, baby," "I am at a loss finding words," "Oh, baby," "ifs my heart that hurts" "It's no secret I'm quite crazy," "Don't ask the reason, dear baby." "I don't know my body and soul, either," "Help me to find an explanation, Father." "Carry on, carry on..." "You know that it never ends," "You know whafs enough," "I'd need an open space in the brain," "To survive even the torrential rain." "Today came in the wake of yesterday," "And tomorrow will follow today." "You're gone and in vain am I waiting," "I'm okay if you don 't miss me, that's the main thing." "But I'm still waiting though in vain" "Everything is closed, ifs quite plain." "I won't go in search of you" "Forl won't find you, that's true." "Do you have anything to eat?" "I'll leave now." "I'll go to the US." "I won't go, in vain do you expect me," "This town is quite empty" "In vain do you ask me to go" "I won't find you anywhere I go." "In the summer I have my winter sleep," "I can't find words and play for keep." "These evenings are quite light," "I'd fall if you didn't hold me tight." "Today came in the wake of yesterday," "And tomorrow will follow today." "You're gone and in vain am I waiting," "I'm okay if you don 't miss me, that's the main thing." "Well, we could buy a house in the country and live there." "We'd have some goats and kids and poultry, hens, a rooster, geese." "Turkeys and pigeons." "We'd go to sleep with the falling of the gloom and get up with the rising sun." "We'd close and open the doors and the like..." "And we would also have bees which would collect honey from the flowers." "And there would also be a huge orchard with plum trees, apple trees, apricot trees and walnut trees in it." "And raspberry and red current bushes, and the like." "And all we should do would be to keep them well and we'd be able to sit comfortably in the afternoons..." "And of course, we'd also have some dogs and cats, too..."
