"Croupiers are not permitted to talk" "I want him to hear" "Then I'll answer for him" "Can you?" "Can you really?" "Yes" "Bring me another cognac" "Can you play my hand for me,please?" "Mario's eyes gleamed when he saw me playing Enrico's hand" "Enrico had been lucky and I gambled recklessly with his money" "Winning again and again" "It is customary for a gambler to share his winning with one who plays his cards" "And half the money those counters represented would have made Mario and me almost rich" "Perhaps Madame will play only half" "Mario had broken the casino's strictest rules by advising me how to bet" "With a supervisor watching I had no choice but to ignore his advice" "I lost everything" "You wait a minute,I must speak to the director" "Big play tonight" "Mostly Marisoni's money" "Any trouble?" "I don't know yet" "He must have lost nearly 20 million lire" "Giovanna" "Giovanna,all women" "That count is really sunk in a soil" "I hope he is stays there" "Maybe he will, a year maybe two,maybe tomorrow" "His black days at least that was the doctor told me,you know the one who was sitting over there" "Told you what?"

"Who said?" "The inspector" "You should have worried about that before" "I didn't want money" "You won it .It was four million lire on the table" "It is usual habit of giving the personal replacement half of the winning" "I don't work in the casino" "Neither do I anymore" "Forgive me,let me explain" "Explain what?" "Why you sat next to him?" "What I heard him say?" "You didn't hear when he asked me to marry him" "He asked you to marry him?" "His words were true.He really meant it" "I met him by chance in San Marco" "He told me he needed me" "He needs you" "What do you say?" "I told him he was married,I think he is" "I don't understand ,do you Mario?" "Now you realize why I played that baccarat,I couldn't do anything else" "Could I Mario?" "Could I?"

"That's the sitting room" "This is your maid,Valeria" "Now perhaps you would like to rest a while" "I'll join you later" "Have you any orders,Madam?" "Are there any more bags?" "No" "I've already unpacked these" "You see I put your clothes in there" "Saved clothes aren't it?" "Yes" "I know my dear,I know" "This isn't a very gay household" "I know very well you feel like you are in a prison" "Your eyes says so even if you don't tell me" "I don't like this house either,I hate it" "Do you think I care for myself" "Stop drinking please" "We can't go on talking as long as you behave like a child" "I tried to,I want to talk" "I want to explain,we have the courage to do so well now" "Now that you are my wife,you must know how things stand" "What makes you think I don't?" "I want to be sure" "Why?" "I don't want anymore lies between us" "There aren't any" "I married you" "I am your wife" "Till death do us part" "Men of this family die young, women live forever" "Truth.I haven't long to live" "Don't say that,Enrico" "You do not know what you are saying" "But I do" "Marisoni's blood is very thin" "Very thin" "Because I was afraid to tell you because I'm a coward" "Because I was afraid I'd lose you" "Now the whole truth is out" "It isn't very pleasant" "That's how it is" "Even now even you won't be able to help me" "Giovanna" "If only we could understand each other" "Really live together" "Could we?" "I married you,I'm your wife" "Wait" "I had been Enrico's wife only a few weeks but a week in that abysmal palace was like a month" "Enrico was moody,and his mother cold and silent" "I need someone to talk to, someone alive,someone human,Mario" "You better hang up" "There is no connection the majordomo put it through this part of the house 7 in the morning when I wake" "If you wish to telephone you'd better go down to the servant's quarter" "How dare you behave in this way" "Leave the door open,Luigi,anybody who wishes to hear may do so" "I'm asking how you dare and I want an answer" "You stay here" "I demand an explanation" "Do you really need one?" "You can do whatever you like but I insist on my right to live my own way" "And you're making things impossible for me" "You're even stir up the servants against me" "Against you?" "Servants know what there are about and they obey my orders" "If I was Mistress here I wouldn't allow that woman to step a foot in the house" "You are the master but I have the right to stay here until I die" "And I'm staying and I should do exactly as I wish" "You are not going to make my life a hell" "It is not I who makes your life a hell it's someone else someone who was caught red handed last night trying to telephone to a lover" "I forbid you to speak about my wife like that" "Why?" "She told me about it,it was my fault I was drunk" "Your wife.You have been tricked,haven't you?" "You are even accusing yourself." "This is no marriage" "It is a plot,a scheme,a swindle, and you know it" "Yes,mother,you're right, a plot,a scheme a swindle just like my entire life has been" "You see everything very clearly,don't you mother?" "Everything except yourself" "And us,The Marisoni family, what is left of it" "Look at your daughter,she never found a husband and she never will" "Tell her why,mother" "Tell my poor and unfortunate sister why" "For me?" "I don't consider myself unfortunate I can marry Prince Barberi wheneve I wish" "Whenever she wishes" "She chooses to waste her life away, that's her affair but I'm finished" "I haven't defied you till now for a great many reasons because I was lazy,cynical,indifferent what's more, I didn't care" "But now I care,God help you, if Giovanna should ever leave this house" "I married her and brought her here" "I need her and I'm going to keep her with me" "You are a coward, a moral coward, even greater than I imagined" "New dressing,really well these days on my money aren't you" "I could dress a lot better until paid" "Signor Rossi" "Come here,I want you to meet another one of my creditors,Mr Landi,Mr Ferrari" "Yes I know I'm behind with my bills, you have any mail for me" "Excuse me" "I didn't expect you to see you so soon" "Anything wrong?" "No,nothing" "If you don't feel like talking here we can go" "No,Mario we stay here" "Mustn't come close to the Contessa" "Is that how we stand?" "I think so" "But you are not sure?" "Yes,I'm sure" "Now that I'm here,I'm sure" "As long as I live with him I'm sure" "Is that why you came to tell me?" "No,I swear when I left there an hour ago I was sure I would never go back" "Bad as that?" "Thanks heaven you got a head on your shoulders" "Yes,a head on my shoulders,but I am the one who has to live there" "But you are going back" "Yes,I'm going back" "My way" "This thing we'd done,no good" "No good for whom?" "Still worrying about that?" "What do we care what happens to anyone else?" "The only thing that matters is our love for each other" "I'm sorry Mario I can't divide myself, that's how it makes it ugly" "Leave me alone,Mario" "Please" "Sure" "Sure" "You want to leave,don't you?" "Yes" "I can't blame you" "After that horrible scene,it was not good before,it is impossible now" "When do you want to go?" "Now" "With you" "With me?" "We must get away from here" "This house is a prison,destroys you you will never be a man unless you get away from these walls" "You say you want to live and we will live, while we are away from here" "We begun to know one another" "Little by little learned we were somehow different from what would have been in Venice" "I enjoyed seeing Enrico live each moment to the fullest" "I loved his joy of life" "We were so loving and tender" "The past seemed forgotten" "Let's go back to the hotel" "Yes,darling" "As soon as the sun goes down" "No lets go at once I don't ever want to see the sun die" "Your song remember" "No,leave it on" "Remember" "Yes" "Lonely heart that found at last everything" "Want to go back,don't you?" "To what?" "What you know,what you love,dancing" "I'm here with you" "Don't ever say that again" "You should,Giovanna,really should go back to dancing,it's important to you" "I've given it up" "Not in your heart" "And you shouldn't" "Wonderful thing to be able to do something really well" "Feel that your life has some use" "Even more wonderful to be able to share it for as many people as you can" "Leave them with a moment of beauty" "Have I left it with you,Enrico?" "Lifetime three months" "When we get back to Venice" "Venice?" "My sister is getting married" "I thought we were never going back to Venice" "We must,Giovanna" "It's a pity,it has been so lovely here" "It will be lovely in Venice too" "We are both strong enough now" "We needn't be afraid of a house, city or anything any longer" "But instead when we returned to that gray palace in Venice" "Everything was just as before,because of Enrico they accepted me" "But I was surrounded on all sides by cold calculated hostility" "I was tolerated and this made it more painful" "Our list of guests is very small only family connections,my family, relations on the Marisoni side" "I quite agree with you,Donna Luisa, Vemino would like to invite half Italy" "I like to keep peace with everyone,we already have such a lot of enemies" "I say this rather honoured to have so many enemies" "I was even more ruthless than my mother about it" "I didn't invite anybody at all" "Madame,for you" "Mr Mario Rossi isn't it?" "He called just after lunch as you were asleep" "Tell him I am not at home" "This Mario Rossi has been telephoning for a month,we all know his voice by now" "Can I have a few minutes,Sir,I have some important papers for you to sign at once" "Excuse me dear,I won't be a minute" "I'll meet you on the Fondamento" "It was a wonderful day and I was looking forward to a happy afternoon with Enrico" "He was very proud of a new speed boat he wished to show me" "And then" "Beautiful boat,must have cost lot of money" "Why did you come here?" "That beautiful woman,jewels, furs,Monte Carlo,Paris nothing is too good for the Contessa" "Why did you come here?" "To see you" "Tell me where I can meet you" "Here" "Are you afraid of scandal?" "I am not" "Later please,we'll talk later" "No,now" "I want to know" "What do you want to know?" "Where I stand" "Does my pretty Giovanna have ideas?" "Ideas which doesn't include me" "Do you think I would do that?" "Yes I do,it won't work,Giovanna,I told you" "I asked them to look for you,I've been waiting hours for you" "Madame is away to Piers,yes, but Mario is not there,he is alive remember,rememeber the bargain he thinks it is maybe about time to buy the bargain" "Nothing is too good for the Contessa" "Or for Mario" "He thinks maybe it is about time he went now to the town and told him certain things which I'm sure he knows of other means, some of them might be true,some of them not,who knows" "If you do that,Mario,I'll kill you" "I think you mean that" "You fool,you stupid fool,he bought you as though you were on sale at the market, and now you feel sorry for him" "That's all it is,you feel sorry for him, he is the dirtiest figure of all" "I'm ready to tell him so to his face he wanted to amuse himself before he died,didn't he?" "So let him pay" "Right" "Man must always pay for his amusements" "Come,if we go for a ride,we'll go" "Aren't you coming along?" "Might as well,the boat belong to you one day" "Only be a short ride,very short" "Afraid?" "Deaf" "You should learn to live with death as I do" "Always this close" "It is easy to play the hero when you know you are going to die,isn't it?" "Enrico" "Enrico" "If you walk away you lose everything" "Lose what?" "Something I never had?" "You are wrong,you did have it, and you have it now" "This man means nothing to me" "What difference does it make how we started?" "The point is what we mean to each other now" "Something we both needed all our lives" "Let's not destroy it" "Sure,the Don Giovanni washes his hands of the whole matter and retires to his palazzo" "And we are supposed to go back to the back alleys well listen to me,you are not going to get rid of me that soon" "Enrico" "Enrico" "Leave him alone,Giovanna,don't touch him" "It isn't our fault,it was an accident" "He slipped,fell" "Help me to lift him,help me" "Pull yourself together, don't lose your head,wait" "No one saw it,hughe chance" "He is bleeding" "He is bleeding" "Five ten minutes more we will be wealthy free" "Don't shriek" "Make us seen later,we need it" "That was what you married him for,you married him for me" "No" "Hello,Luigi,does help me" "Go away I'll kill you,I'll kill you, I'll kill you" "Giovanna" "Enrico" "You are here beside me" "Where should I be" "Work exist for me but you" "That's why you must live for me" "I the undersigned,Count Enrico Marisoni, Baron of Pievi Cantata being full possession of my physical and mental faculties to appoint here with my beloved wife Giovanna as my sole heir save for that fourth portion of my entire estate" "which is legally due to my mother" "Signed Count Enrico Marisoni Baron of Pievi Cantata" "I know you intend to contest this will" "I also know that you think I will fight if you do but you needn't be afraid of that" "The money in this house always belonged to you,he belonged to me" "And now I was leaving Enrico's world a world I had entered wearing a mask at a costume ball and I was leaving my old world, the world into which I had been born" "there was left to me only what I had learned through work horrid rich and tragic love that and my talent as a dancer" "perhaps in my third world the absorbing world of the mambo" "I could find forgetfulness of the past and in time peace and happiness" "Go and change your clothes" "Subtitles by Seglora"
