"Senora Lucinski... forgive me for writing you when we do not know each other." "Like so many people who live on this island..." "I came from another country find a new beginning." "Put myself on the map." "What drew me was the power of your late husband's music." "It's a tragedy that there's never been a celebration of his work here." "What I'm proposing is a magnificent and unusual concert." "We all have our passions... which are so intense ourselves but seem insignificant others." "It would mean so much if you would listen my listen my proposal... and perhaps share my dream." "Senora Lucinski." "Good afternoon." "I'm Larry Taft." "Did you get my letter?" "I don't remember." " Regarding a concert." " Oh, yes." "The concert." "Let me start out by saying that..." "I am a huge admirer of your late husband's..." "You know my husband?" "Er, yes." "No, mean, no, I don't know him." "But in fact, he's one of the reasons that I came to this island." "I'm a pianist in the village." "You're a pianist from the village?" "No, I mean, I'm not from the village." "I'm American." "I'm..." " American?" " Yes." "Will you take this, please." "Beautiful house." "Big." "Many people have wanted to perform your husband's work." "Yes." " And you have said no." " No." "And you were right because they were wrong." "What I mean is that what we need is a need is a brilliant musician... who understands the island but who also understands... your husband's compositions." "And I have the person." " Do you know Narcisco Ortega?" " Yes." "He has agreed to play." "Narcisco Ortega is a very arrogant boy." " Yes, I have heard that but..." " But what?" "I also thought about performing this concert... in the amphitheatre that you built for your husband." "I just happened upon it one night." "And as I was walking through it... all I could hear was your husband's music." "And I knew in an instant, like that the concert had to be performed here." "I know that we can create something really special here." "Your husband's music performed where it was composed... by a brilliant musician." "Even if he is a little bit arrogant." " On his grand piano." " I'm sorry?" "Get my husband's grand piano, I will choose the music... and you will consult me on everything." " Do you want a drink?" " Yes, yes." " Good evening." " Evening." "Are you sure it's the right thing to do?" " Honey..." " I mean, it's a massive undertaking." "I play the piano in a bar where no-one listens." "I'm almost 45 years old and I have achieved what?" "Erico!" "Back for another summer of fun?" "And you have purchased a small property." "Well, small compared to Versailles." "I can run my business from pretty much anywhere and I and I thought..." ""You love this place, they love you."" "We all want to belong." "Everyone here is from somewhere else." "Look at me..." "I'm from Bratislava." "Actually, my brother's coming for a few days... so I thought I'd give him a taste of the Isle the Lotus eater." "Does he appreciate art?" "I've just completed a new installation." "Maybe he would." "It will be beautiful." "I promise." " Helicopter!" " Helicopter!" "Come in, Larry, where are you?" "The left, the left, bring it to the!" "What on earth are they doing?" "Let's have a look." "Lucinski's amphitheatre!" "That's Larry Taft." "How's he got in with Veronica?" "I didn't know about this, I didn't know about see any fliers." "Okay, here he comes!" "Come on, come on." "No, no, not too far!" "No, no, no!" "Get out of the way!" "Everybody clear out!" "Move the car!" "Don't spin it!" "Don't spin it around!" "No." "Wait, wait, No, honey, wait, don't..." "Don't worry about that now, Larry, we'll fix it." "Don't spin it, don't spin it!" "No spinning!" "Bring it down." "No, no, wait, wait!" "Wait... wait." "The family spent so many years arguing the they ran out of money and had to sell it to me for a knock-down price." " What do you think?" " Beautiful." "You know, I think I can really start again here." "God knows what it's gonna cost me do it up." "I was thinking of turning the olive press in... an artist's studio or a music room." " Or a workshop." " Don't even think about it." "Lucky you." "When did you last wash?" "What have you got for me?" "There she is." "Romulus and Remus." "Remember?" " Which one was I?" " The fat one." "I can't believe I've had it all these years and haven't looked at the workings" " the mechanism." " It's still got the little ball in it." "It's beautiful." " So you can get it work again?" " Well, you can never tell." "I'm gonna have to take it apart, repolish the pivots, unscrew the mainspring..." "I thought you were here for the weekend?" " You're looking at a good fortnight." " I can't believe you're doing this." "I'm not doing this for me, Sebastian." "I'm doing it for us." "For us?" "For Romulus and Remus." "I feel like such a jerk that I spent half of your money... on that stupid helicopter." "Did you tell him to spin it around like that?" "No." "Why would I tell the guy to spin a priceless piano around in the air?" "Guy was a psychotic." "But I liked the image of it, you know?" " Did Narcisso's manager call me back?" " No, I don't think so." "Between him and that other woman you have to go through, it's like..." "Well, that's just what they're like, Larry." "I know, but... the guy would do it for free." "I mean, he grew up here." "How about a little hometown something?" "I mean, that's the least he could I would do that." "I'd do it for free." "I'm really trying to meditate, Larry." "Sorry, honey, I'm just so anxious I about everything." "I can't help it." "You're doing a wonderful job and I'm gonna help you with everything." "I think it's appropriate that Narcisco plays." "He's brilliant, right?" "Isn't it the perfect place for the concert?" "Hi." "How are you?" " It's beautiful, huh?" " Yeah." "No, it's beautiful." "I was right to tell you to stage it here." "Yeah." "I mean, it's small." "It's smaller than I thought..." "Oh, no." "It's perfect." "Look at the sea, the hills..." "the trees, the sun..." "The earth." "Smell." " Do you like it?" " Yes." "Look, I don't mean to be rude but I have to go." "And I'm just afraid of Veronica catching us both catching us both here." "But, thank you very much for the inspiration." " You're afraid of Veronica?" " I'm terrified of her." " Why?" " What?" "Why?" " Well, she was his wife, after all." " I was his muse." "So you don't need me now." "You used me." "It was my idea to stage it here and now you're getting rid of me." "Would you like to hear the piece Veronica chose?" "It's a good piece but it wasn't his best period." "He wasn't very inspired when he wrote it." "He was just showing off." "You can find a better piece than that." "I thought you wanted to do something special?" "Something that would change your life." "Oh, ola." "Hello." "Hello." "Goddamn it." "You gotta..." "I gotta go, I gotta go." " I will change your life." " What?" "Some pieces of Valentin's music no-one has ever heard of." "You have pieces of his that I've never heard?" " Where are they?" " In my wer." "Will you give them to me?" "I'm not sure I can give them to you we can talk about it later." "No, no." "We can't meet can't meet again." "Let's meet midnight." "Here." "Motherfucker!" "Right, let's see who's on the catwalk night." "Hey, how's it going?" "Miranda... with the Mayor." "Corrupt as you like but..." "You have to grease you palms to get anything done around here." "Hey... how are you?" "I'll have my usual on my tab and something soft for the houseboy." "Erico, how's it going?" "That's Sweetie." "Poor as a church mouse." "The Lucinski's estate pays for her cello lessons." "Isn't it just great here?" "Great club, Sebastian." "How do How do I join?" "Hey, baby..." "Hello." "You must be Sebastian's brother." "I'm Miranda, I'm a singer." " Dickie." "Clock maker." " Dickie." "So, how long are you here for, Dickie?" "Well, if all goes well, for the rest of my life." "Wow, that's a commitment." "I've been here for seven years and I love it, you know." "There's something about the air that erogenises you." " It sounds perfect, have my babies." " Actually, I can't have children." "I was in New York, got a nasty STD and the doc decided to cut me up... and left me sterile but with a, Jackson Pollock on my womb." "So, I'm useless but decorative if you like abstract art." "I love it." "Excuse me..." "Is the mayor gonna give us some money, or what?" "Tomorrow." "Good evening." "They've been complaining about the wels again." "Evening." " Did you sell a lot of tickets?" " We block-booked the nunnery." " Really?" " The nuns are coming!" "Why don't you just stick your head under a barrel and turn on the tap?" "Good idea." "So, you have Narcisco Ortega playing at this at this concert?" " Yes." " It can't be second-rate, this concert." " Veronica deserves the best." " Larry will take care of everything." "I'm sure he will." "It's a very very important occasion for him... but if there are any doubts, just remember..." "I have experience of big events, okay?" " Your brother... is happy." " Excuse me." " What do you think you're doing?" " Having a dance." "I'm just trying to help these people with their concert." "I'm terribly sorry, Mr Geldof." "I shall wander off in the night... never to be seen again." "Narcisco is coming morrow, so, do you have the rest of the money?" " I promise." " Yeah." "I know." "Now, I have a little problem, no." "Now, speaking with my secretary." "Hello." "Hi." " Larry, I've had a great idea." " What?" "Why don't I integrate in the concert... a little piece of performance art of my own?" "Don't say anything yet, it's still in the the ideas stage." " I'm not sure really but..." " It's early days." " Larry, your money." " Yeah, yeah, thanks, mate." "Happy Birthday, Larry." "I'd like to make an announcement." "Narcisco Ortega, our celebrity pianist, is arriving morrow." "May I suggest everyone buys a ticket as asap as we're selling out." "Allegedly." " Happy birthday, Larry." " Thank you." "Honey, I'm gonna take a little walk." "I'm just gonna get a little fresh air just for a just for a second." " Hi, Larry." " Hi, honey." "You're under pressure, so why not let me do the wine for the concert?" "I can do it at cost." "Yeah?" "Well, we'll talk about it morrow." "Just have a think about it, all right?" "I'm just gonna go for a walk, I just feel a little queasy." "Larry, do you want some cake?" "Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like make an announcement of... seismic proportions." "Larry, let me introduce..." "Your daughter." "Larry Taft?" " Is that his daughter?" " Yes." "Frankie Jeffers." "Lucy Jeffers's daughter." "You met her in a bar in Bosn." "Ring a bell?" "You didn't get my letters?" "The money is not possible, but we give you a daughter." "You think I can get something to eat?" " Would you like some tapas or..." " Have some cake?" "Thanks." " You want something to drink?" " Yeah." "Wine?" " Milk?" " She's 19, Larry." "Some beer or water, you know?" " I'm Miranda." " Oh, yes." "I'm Larry's girlfriend." "We've been gether for seven years." "This is Miranda, my girlfriend, I'm sorry." "So, what are your plans?" "Where are you planning to stay?" "I'm looking at a few hostels, but..." "I feel terrible because I would love for you to stay with us... but I don't think we can put you up because we... rent our rooms out to German tourists and we just don't have the space." "It's just a bad time." "It's not a good time." "She can stay with us." "In our vast labyrinth... perched on a precipice." "Thanks, man." "Do you think she looks like you?" "I don't know, I can't tell." "I think she does look like you." "I can't tell." "I'm gonna go take a walk." "Get a little fresh air." "Do you think she's your daughter?" "I don't know." "I have no idea whether she's my daughter or not." "I don't, but... what?" "It's not like I was a virgin when you met me." "I'm a 45 year old man." "You have a daughter." "I miss the child I can't have." "I'm never gonna see myself... through the eyes of someone who loves me just because I exist." "Just because I'm me." "Don't talk like that, honey." "That's enough of that, come on." "Come on, stop" " Do you want children, Larry?" " Not tonight." " Am I enough for you?" " Yes, honey... believe me, you're enough for me." "Sometimes, you're too much for for me." "There you go, come on." "TO TARA TAFT." " It comes from inadequacy." " What?" "This constant need to embarrass me." "Of course, it's just disintegrated in drink and sarcasm." "Used to upset me." "But now..." "I don't care." "I don't need you, and I don't need that fucking clock." "Evening." " Hello, miss." " Welcome." "Thanks." " I bet you've never tried this." " What is it?" ""Foie gras."" "Is that French?" "Just a little bit of goose or duck force-fed corn... until it swells bursting." "It's organs can't cope, it develops heptic lipidosis." "It dies, but its liver... has one of the finest tastes in the world." " This is a really nice place." " Thank you." "I noticed that the electricity in my my room's not working." "I'm sorry, I'll get the staff on it." "I'll see to it, first thing in the morning." "This night must have been quite a night for you." "Yeah, I guess." "I'd say quite a momenus night for you." "Sort of surreal." "I'm sure your father's thrilled have... a heat-seeking missile appear to blow up his life." "Well, I'd describe you as more of a OUN drop." "I'm sure he's scared shitless." "I mean, I'm sure he doesn't want a daughter, you know?" "The least that I can ask for is what sort of... diseases run in his family, you know." "You'll learn." "Some things are best left unsaid." "Isn't that right?" "Perhaps she'd like something a little more... palatable." "Didn't it occur to you... that you might just be causing your father pain by coming here?" "Life is full of pain." "Why run from it?" "God!" "Where did you read that, a Christmas cracker?" "Ice-cream." "Force feed me!" "Here he is!" "Hey." " Narcisco." " I know." "What a pleasure." "After a month of exchanging e-mails month of exchanging and faxes." "Yeah." "So glad it worked out." "Come on, have a seat and we'll have a cup of coffee." "Before I forget these are the expenses that we spoke about." "Yeah." "Good, thank you." "The chairs are made of hay." "We really are a long way from home." "So, well, this is great." "I gotta say... we are thrilled to have you here." "Thanks." "I'm thrilled to be back." "I was was brought up here." "I know, yeah." "Friends." "This guy must have been the mayor for a hundred years." "I think so, yeah." " Now, can I get anybody a coffee?" " Yes, coffee." " Black." " Extra sugar." "Signor Ortega, I'm Sebastian Burrows." "Welcome to our village." " Sebastian Burrows." " He's a very important person." "I've recently bought the big house at pot of the hill." "I've been visiting for years." "I thought you might like some water after your journey." "Carlos said he's going to try and fix the Steinbeck on Tuesday." " Steinway." " Beautiful action." "I'm having a little party next Saturday if you wanted to drop by." "Our maestro's gonna be playing you better watch out." "Stiff competition." " I'll get the coffee." " Tea for me, please." " Sure, I'd love to come." " Great." "Someone was saying that you were born here, in the village, is that right?" "Yeah." "I was raised in the house at the botm of the clot." " The shack by the beach?" " Yes." "Well, from tiny acorns, mighty oaks will grow." " The coffee's on its way." " Great." "You're comfortable with the with the piece?" "Sure." "Anything by Lucinski's fine." "I learnt the piano playing his music." "But the first movement of the sonata, are you attached to it?" "No." "I haven't had a chance to look at it actually." "I'm sure it's fine, though." "I wanna keep it fresh and on the moment." "I know." "I'm Yeah." "Thank you very much." "Larry will pay." " Get in, kid." " Really a pleasure." "Glad you're here." "Don't worry about me." "Thanks, Amy." "Nice to meet you." "Larry, dough?" "Euros?" "Sorry." "Yeah, right." "Sorry." "Here." "There's a bunch." "Larry..." "Sebastian said that you pay." "I thought..." "Okay." " Here, just take them." " Thank you." " Here." "It's fixed." " Really?" "All it needed was a little bit of here, a little bit of tape there." " You'll be fine, you'll see." " Okay." "Thank you." "Any chance of a lift?" "Sure." "By the way, are you sure we've got these posters right?" "Yes." "Having children design them was sweet, but... you don't think they look amateur?" "No." "They look really good." "Naive." "My guys in Marseille will have the wine here by the end of next week." " But I already have the wine arranged." " Yeah, don't worry, it's all in hand." "If you like, I can talk to the mayor again." "Well, I'm sure we'll figure something out." " Thank you, Don Quixote." " You're welcome." "Do you want me to check if she's you want me to go around?" "No, no, it's fine." "Thanks." "Si Good, thank you." "Yes..." "Yes, good, thank you, thank you very much." "Hi." "Who was that?" " It was the cushion people." " Do we have enough?" "They're only for the front row so..." " Charge more for those, remember." " How was Narcisco?" "He's certainly an attractive artist." "I gotta call the hotel, because he's seems that it come with an enurage." "An enurage?" "And we have to put up a couple more people." " Do we have to foot the bill for that?" " Yes, we are footing the bill for that." "I gotta organise the print run for print run for the the programmes." "No, wait, but hold off on that, because I might change the music." "Oh, why?" "I don't know, I'm just thinking of changing the pieces." "Yes." "Manuel, please." "Thanks" " Hello." " Hi." "Are you on your way to the beach?" "We're so busy." " Well, do you want a cup of coffee?" " Yeah, I just made some fresh coffee." " It's a tad early for me." " To early for coffee?" "Why don't you show Frankie round?" "No, I don't want to leave you with all that stuff there." "No, I'm waiting for your information." " All right." "Do you want a tour?" " Yeah." " That sofa has got my name on it." " Be my guest." "So how long have you lived here with her?" "We've been here for about five years." "We just acquired this part." "This actually, this was was an old goat shed." "We got rid of the old goat and we turned it in a studio... but now it's an office... it's sort of like the nerve centre of this concert." " What type of concert?" " Classical." "There was, a composer who lived on the island." "He was a brilliant composer and we've acquired some of his work..." "So that's what you do here?" "Well, no, that's not what I do." "I'm a musician, but..." "I play jazz and classical and before I came here, I played in Deauville..." " I talked the manager there." " Oh really?" "Hello." "Hi, guys." "How's it going?" "Hi, how are you?" "I'm just picking the fruit off the trees." "If you let it drop it just rots." " I'm gonna make some jam." " Yeah, she makes incredible jam." "Wanna help?" "Sure." "I just pull them off, right?" "Yeah, you can just shake the tree if you want... no, that's no good, because then they fall and bruise." "They're so ripe." "There's the phone." "Excuse me." "You're so pretty." "So pretty." "How'd it go with you and Larry?" "Great." "Thanks for asking." "He's a wonderful man." "Yeah, that's exactly what my mum said." "I guess we have our own little world here." "Hey, Dickie." "Have you got the time?" "I've gotta go go deliver these deliver these leaflets." "Why don't you guys come help me?" "I can drop you off on the way home." "So, what's your mother like Frankie?" "What does she do?" "She works at the University... but she was a waitress when they first met." " And that's how they met?" " Yeah." " She said it was quite romantic." " I'm sure it was." " So what does your mother do?" " She's dead." "Goats!" "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." "Bonjour." "How are you?" "Hi... hi." "Look, I'm so sorry about last night, I really apologise." "I mean, let's just say it just turned in a very busy in a very busy day." "How are you?" " Did you just find that frog?" " No, he's mine." " I'm just giving him an airlift." " An airlift?" "I'm taking him for a... promenade walk." " Yeah, can I promenade with you?" " No, I'm going back to my tower." "Well, I can give both of you a lift and then you can give me the music..." "I can't give you the music now, no." "I have to trust you first." "Look, I really, apologise for last night." "I really wanted to come." "But I couldn't." " Okay." "I'll take the lift." " Okay, great." "I just have to take a pee." "I'm sorry." "Who is that?" "That's the woman Larry's fucking!" "Look out, There's a car." "Hi, hon." "What's the matter with you, Larry?" "What's the matter with you?" " What do you mean?" " Don't give me that shit." " You're fucking Helena, Helen..." " No, I'm not." "See" "I saw you doing up your fly!" "I stopped to take a piss and she be happened to be there!" "What do you think, Helena, that stupid, fucking, skinny French bitch she's gonna go with you?" " What is that supposed to mean?" " You're a fucking liar, Larry!" " You're fucking her!" " Yeah, okay, fine." "Do you have proof of that?" "I am not fucking her." "Don't play mind games with me, You are a liar." "Okay, fine, good." "I don't care." " What is this?" " What?" "Frankie's letter What, did you forget about this?" "Were you gonna tell me about this?" "She sat there while you denied her in front everyone, in front of me!" "Look..." " I was uncomfortable." " You're a fucking asshole!" "What else have you lied about?" " Fucking asshole!" " All right." "Okay." "I don't even know who you are, Larry!" "I hate you!" "Thank you." "I'm in a mess." "You wanna take a walk?" "Whatever." "Things are falling apart." "I've gotta go see this widow." "Is she like your boss or something?" "She's the composer's widow." "She gives the ok about the concert." "If she doesn't, then the whole thing falls apart." " Who's she?" " Sweetie, her name is Sweetie." " How old is she?" " About your age, I guess." "But she's really talented, I mean, she's got a gift." "What, are you fucking her as well?" "No, I am not fucking her." "What am I?" "Casanova, all of a sudden?" "I'm not fucking her or Helena." "Jeez." "Helena, is a really, fascinating woman who I've gotten to know." "You know she was Lucinski's last muse." "She looks like the walking dead." "Well, she does have a to haunted quality" "But she has a depth, she has an aura about about her." "I don't know." "And she was very crucial, to his creative process." "And here's something that I have not tell anybody, yet." "She has music of his that no-one has ever heard." "And she's going to give it to me." "This is huge." "Senor Taft." "I'm very unhappy." "You haven't done what we agreed." "You've been speaking to the other woman." "You do not consult me." "You have broken our trust." "It might not happen now." "She's insanely jealous of Helena." "This whole thing is gonna fall apart, I can feel it." "I'm surrounded by 3 psychotic women." "It's like a bad Hitchcock movie." " Can I give you a lift, Mr impresario?" " Yes, please." "There we are." "Would you mind dropping us off at the amphitheatre?" "Bit hot for a stroll." "Yeah." "We got back from Veronica's house." "It looks like his concert might be off." "We don't know that yet." "We just just gotta wait and see what happens." "She was like out of her mind with jealousy of Helena." "No change there." "Yeah, but it doesn't help that dad's, sort of, having a thing with her." "I'm not having a thing with her, she's just helping me with the concert!" "Having a thing with her!" "She is coming to my party on Saturday." " Who?" " Veronica." "I could have a quiet word, smooth things." "Really?" "Larry... it would be my pleasure." "All right, thanks." "You know, Larry don't make plans." "A plan is a projected disappointment." "You have your music, a lovely daughter." "Look at Erico." "I am childless." "I have nothing." "You could be like Narcisco... a wonderful musician, but a desperate... jerk off." "Can't believe that woman." "All she wants is attention." "I know, but, look... now it's in Sebastian's hands... and hopefully he can smooth it with her at the party." "I mean, what does she mean, you haven't consulted her?" "I'm gonna talk to her." "No, honey, please do not talk her." "I'm a diplomat." "If there's one word I would use to describe you, it would not be diplomat." "Don't touch me, Larry." "I'm still angry with you." "Come here, my little diplomat." "I've got a treaty that I want you my look at in my office." "Get here." "Come here." "Promise me you're not having an affair with that woman." "That she's not your lover." "I promise that she is not my, okay?" "Promise me, Larry, you are never gonna be alone with that woman again." "I promise." "What are you doing here?" "I came to see the great composer." "The great composer was my husband." "I was his muse." "Muse!" "No!" "The only muse was me." " I want respect." " I despise you." "He was crazy about me." "Get Crazy!" "You are crazy!" "Get out of here!" "Look at what he gave me!" "Look, look!" " Give it back to me." "You're a thief!" " No." "Be careful, Veronica." "I'm gonna put a spell on you!" "There, I want to give you that for your birthday." "Oh, well, thank you." "I won't open it now, I'll open it in private." "Okay?" "Thanks." "Frankie." "I'm gonna do what I can... but your father needs to tread very carefully with Veronica." "You have to try hard, he's not being straight with her." "What do you mean?" "He's not just having a "thing" with the muse... he's trying to get something from her." "I guess she's got some music from the dead guy... you know, that composer that no-one's ever no-one's ever heard." "It's a really big deal." "It's top secret though, you know." "Mum's the word." " So..." " Excuse me." "Sweetie, Sweetie, Sweetie..." "How do you feel about playing at my party on Saturday?" "There'll be some very interesting people there." "Veronica Lucinski, Narcisco Ortega... and the Minister of Culture might even fly in." "Yes, of course." "What would you like me to play?" "Oh, you know, something..." "important." "So how is being aggressive working out for you?" "I don't know." "How is being good looking working for you?" " Do you go to bed this aggressive?" " Do you wake up this good looking?" "You got any plans for night?" "What are your plans?" "I don't know." "Getting drunk and going down to the beach, I guess." "Sounds nice." "Want to come along?" " Hey." " All right." "Yeah, good, good." "Do you mind if I have to go?" "No, please, come on." "It'd be great." "Thank you." "Hello?" "Hello?" "You scared me." " I'm sorry." " What are you doing here?" "Oh, you know... checking out the accommodation." " What are you doing here?" " I'm just visiting Valentin." "Oh, him." "The great composer." "We were gether when he died in my tower." "I didn't know who to call." "I was waiting for hours." "And then she came and she took everything he gave me." "Everything, except that ring." "And something very important." "And that is my secret." "I... have a secret." "Would you like to come to a party?" " Narcisco, which way is it?" " The road's right here." "He says this is his big passion." "But he's tally fucking everything up." "He should grow some balls!" "He's got to organise this big thing he's got a lot on his mind, probably." "You're probably never even gonna get paid." "He's such an asshole." "He's tally ignored me the whole time I'm here." "He hasn't even asked me one question about myself!" "Look at me, look at me." "If he's not smart enough to realise... how lovely and how incredible his daughter is, then... he's an idiot and you should forget about him." " Well, it's not that easy." " It kind of is, actually." "Just think of the mountains and how powerful they are." "You know, this place changes people." "It affects them in ways they don't expect." "You'll see it." "Dickie?" "Are you asleep?" "What time do you call this, young lady?" "The witching hour." " You want something?" "Want some water?" " No." "Well, that was fun night." "No." "Have you been out with boyband boy?" "He took me to this really magical" "This place is actually really beautiful night." "Dickie what are you doing out here in the dark?" "I missed you." " Dickie, I'm here." " I don't like being alone." "I'm scared of of the dark." "Where's Sebastian?" "I wanna see Sebastian." "We'll find him." "I'm sure he's here." "I wanna give him the clock." "I wanna give..." "My mother's clock!" "It's six letters." "I think it's an anagram of basket." "But I can't get it." "Sebastian... don't leave me, Sebastian." " How much has he had?" " I don't wanna be alone..." "Yeah... bye." " I miss you." " Yeah." " I miss mummy." " Don't start that." "Look, I hid a case of Veuve under my bed." "Shall we crack in it?" "I've been looking for that." "All right, I'll get it." "Come on, come on, hurry up." "It's gone tits up in the all the kitchen!" "Will you pour some wine?" "And put a shirt on." "You're having a good time?" "Been waiting for the second course for frigging five years." "The old hag in the kitchen is hopeless." "It's a quail, a splash of lettuce and a dollop of pasta on each plate." " Will you help me?" " Let's do it." " Hello Sebastian." "How are you?" " Help yourself, I'm sure you will." "Senora Lucinski, I happened to be in Vienna last week..." "I found this perfume that reminded me of the scent of your orange grove." "I would be so honoured if you'd accept it." "Thank you." "My pleasure." "Well, enjoy." "Erico, get the quails in the oven." " Larry, let me top you up." " Thank you so much, Sebastian." "So, have you spoken with Veronica yet?" "Do you think we've got the music right?" "Yeah, no, I think it's good." "I think it's... light, you know." " But have you spoken with her?" " She's having a wonderful evening." "You've cooked them with the bloody heads on." "Sorry if I embarrassed myself last night." " What is this?" " Toothpaste." " It's okay." " Breakfast." "So, which one of you's the famous pianist?" " What's your name again?" " Narcisco." " Nice arsehole?" " Narcisco." " Nar see see?" " Narcisco." " Narcissist?" " Narcisco." "Narcisist?" "So, you must be the band." "No." "We are the "roadies."" "The roadies." "Well, it's very nice to meet you all." "Make yourselves at home." "Welcome." "See you later." "Nar-sausage, I bet you think this song is about you." " Hello." "Cigarette?" " Yeah, thank you." "So, I hear you're the richest woman on the island." "Maybe." " What do you do?" " I resre clocks." "How interesting." "Really?" "No-one's ever interested in my clocks." "Thank you." "It's my passion." "Your passion?" "Really?" "Yeah, would you like to see my workshop?" " I would love." " Good, come with me." " Sure." " Let's get our hands dirty." "My husband... had a clock like this." "Everything changed when she appeared." "Our life was never the same." "He went away from me." "I hate her." "My soul is full of rage." "Cheer up, Veronica." "Look, if your heart's broken, fix it." "That rage will kill you." "Senora Lucinski, Veronica..." "I sense you're not entirely happy about the concert." "I think I cancel it." "No, there's no need for that." "Larry's heart is in the right place even if he doesn't have a business head." " The extravagance of hiring a helicopter..." " I like the helicopter." "Yes." "Forgive me..." "I don't know how to tell you this." "Larry has obtained some music of your late husband's that has never been heard." "Where did she get it?" "Helena gave it to him." "I know, I know." "He's getting out of control." "He's in danger of turning this whole homage your husband in a circus." "Surely, every piece should be by you." "I mean, approved by you." "You want the concert?" "Take it." "Are you sure?" "I mean..." "Just do it." "So, there is something between you and Helena." "Ladies and gentlemen..." "Sebastian... this is Helena." "My friend." "You've got 30 seconds to get that tramp out of my house." "My brother's asked me to tell you fuck off." " Look what you have done to me." " Nobody wants you here." "That's your fault." "You've made me an outcast." " Give me back what's mine." " Never!" "Never cross my path again." "You have no dignity." "Quiet, stop it!" "Stop it, all of you!" "You should be ashamed of yourselves." "She is a person." "Helena!" "Play something." "Anything." "Miranda!" "Miranda, let me in!" "Miranda?" "Helena?" "Helena?" "Thank you for standing up for me." "It meant a lot to me." "Well, I guess I had nothing left to lose." "I thought you did it because you were courageous?" "It's possible." " Thanks." " Sit down." "So now you're like me, you've lost everything." "Yeah, but you, at least, once were something." "No, I was nothing." "I felt like an object." "It was very..." "I hated it." "Were you his?" "How old were you when you came here?" "I was 15." "My parents brought me here for the summer." "They were like his groupies." "But he liked me, so he asked me stay." "They never came back for me." "I'm sorry." "Why didn't you just go home when he died?" "Because I love the island." "He left me this wer." "I have nowhere else to go." "I have no children, I have no boyfriend." "I'm sorry, I can't." "I got the concert, no thanks you." "How is it, whenever I try and achieve something... or feel settled somewhere, you show up and undermine me." "Time after time." "And being rude to a world famous pianist, how was that helpful?" "Or bringing that woman here?" "It's ticking." "I'll give you your money and you can go." "I don't want your money." "Thanks." "I've decided to keep the clock." "What?" "Hold on, that wasn't the deal." "Dickie." "That is going in the main hall." "It'll be the first thing people see when they walk in." "It's gonna look great." "So people can see it." "You can't stand it, can you?" "What I've got here." "This house, this community, your so-called friends, you bought!" " You don't fit in anywhere." " I'm having that." "My mother's dead body." " She left it to us." " You don't need it." "For Christ's sake, Dickie, it's only a clock!" "I could throw it out the window, right now and you wouldn't matter!" "Go on then, throw it!" " She meant nothing to you, anyway." " What are you saying?" "Where were you when I carried her upstairs again and again?" "When I wiped her arse?" "Where were you when she said her last "I love you"?" "I was working hard to pay for a roof to her house and her heads treatment!" "You were halfway across the world, Sebastian, buying grapes in Chile!" "I would have come home if she'd asked, but she didn't." "Were those her last words?" ""I love you, Dickie."" "She never fucking wanted me there did she?" "All I can remember is the two of you laughing." "I'd walk in a room and you'd stop... like you were sharing a joke I'd never understand." "You can't." "I bloody can!" "You won't." "Narcisco?" "Narcisco?" "Narcisco!" "Sweetie!" " Frankie!" " Stupid." "Frankie..." "Frankie." "Frankie." "Whatever." "I'm so sorry." "Don't cry." "Don't cry." "Don't cry." "Don't cry." "Frankie, please, don't feel bad." "Nothing's happening here." "It's only sex." "We've known each other a really long time." "Frankie." "Please, don't be so sad, it's natural." "Excuse me." "You found the music." "It's beautiful." "Why'd you keep it for so long?" "Look." "Veronica, Veronica..." "Veronica, Veronica..." "It's the only romantic piece and he wrote it for her." "I wanted the music to be played... so people would think it was written for me." "I didn't want her to get the satisfaction... of knowing how much he loved her." " So what will you do with it now?" " It's yours." "You can do whatever you want with it It's a gift." "I have to let it go now." "I know why you've come." "Because Larry spent the night here." "But he did because you locked him out of the house, he had nowhere to go." "There were plenty of places that he could have gone... but, he came here and he came here to see you." "We didn't have sex, if that's what you want to know." "I don't care if you had sex." "I don't care if you had meaningless sex." "I want to know what's going on with his mind." "Why are you doing this to him?" "Why are you doing this to us?" "Listen, let me tell you... it's not about love." "It's about him looking for something." "Looking for an inspiration." "He wanted to do something great with his life." "Larry..." "But what do you want from him?" "He's just a simple just a simple man." "He's not a complicated man." "I used him..." "I'm sorry." "He didn't want to have sex with me." " He turned you down?" " Yes, he turned me down." "I wish I could love." "Larry..." "I always feel that he's gonna leave me." "I don't understand why he's with me." "I just think he's gonna move on, one day... when he finds exactly what he's looking for." "I think he has." "He will never leave you." "WHERE ARE YOU?" "So, did I get it right?" "Just about." "It's quite a birthday present." "Look..." "I'm sorry that I never contacted you." "And I'm sorry that I never answered your letters." "Your mother and I were gether for one weekend." "And then she called me and told me that she was pregnant." "And I told her that I would help arrange..." "Take care of business, right?" "I mean, we knew each other for two days." "I think that it takes more than two days..." "We barely knew each other." "I think I like my mum's side of the story better." "Yeah..." "I'm sure." "I'm sorry, I never wanted kids." "I never wanted to have a family." "I think because I'd never had one." "My mother died when I was a kid, my father raised me by himself... but all he gave me was piano lessons, that was all he was was capable of." "There was never an emotional connection." "So I left when I was pretty young, and I kept moving." "Look..." "I honestly thought that it would be better if you didn't know who I was." "Yeah, so, part of me would just always be missing." "You just don't know what to do with it, right?" "Yeah, I guess that would be much better." "So, what do you want me to do now?" "So you're finally asking me a question, wow!" "I mean, I know you've been busy with with your your precious little concert." "Whatever, I didn't expect you welcome me with open arms, you know?" "What were you expecting?" "I just wanted to look at you, you know?" "You were just the guy that I always blamed everything on." "And I just wanted... stop... blaming you for everything." "It seems to me like it's only beginning" "Yeah, well, I'm a teenager, that's what I'm just supposed to do." "Listen to this." "You are the most self-obsessed asshole I've ever met!" "I've travelled half-way across the world just to see you!" "Fucking crying on the floor and all you can think about is your music!" "That's all you care about!" "I'm sorry, all right, I'm sorry." "I thought that the music would make you feel better." "I'm sorry." "You don't know what it's like, okay." "I've been staying with crazy people." "I know." "Your girlfriend hasn't been exactly nice to me, okay." " I slept with Narcisco" " You slept with Narcisco?" "Then the next night I found him sleeping with Sweetie." "I mean, it's just like so humiliating." "Okay." "All right, all right." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "I can't believe you slept with that guy." "It's all right, it's all my fault." "I'll take care of you." "It's all my fault." "I think that you're a great, smart so you must be mine kid." "All right?" "I'll be here with you, all right?" "I'll take care of you." "And you can blame me for everything, my face." " Narcisco is such a creep." " I know." "Well, anybody who travels with an enurage, you know..." "That's why I don't have one." "Do you wanna go find him and tell him?" "Come on, let's go." "Tell him he's a jerk-off." "Alber, I suppose we're stuck with this bunting, are we?" "Could you at least raise it up?" "It looks like looks like a washerwoman's drawers." "And look, these chairs are completely inappropriate for VIPs." "They should all be the cream ones with the red sashes." "Florita has the labels." "The Mayor One for Veronica, the Mayor, Senor Ortega's bloody enurage... and half of Barcelona, as far as I can make out." "What on earth is this?" "The Sound of Music?" "No, listen..." "Not day." "No, go away!" "Many days... go pray." "Thank you." "Not now, Murray." "Right." "Yeah, well, tell him Bordeaux was great in '97... and give him two crates of that rubbish that's under my desk." " Larry, what are you doing?" " Bugger off." "Well, somebody do something!" "Don't just stand there." " Behold." " Oh God!" "The butterfly's delicate translucence..." "And like the child who runs through meadows... eager to catch this winged beauty." "Erico, will you please put a sock in it!" "Does he need water or...?" "What's Spanish for 999?" "Hi, honey, I'm home." "No, dear, I had a disastrous day at the office." "First, I had to deal with an idiot in a butterfly costume." "Erico." " Who?" " The bloke from Bratislava." "Everybody knows he's Eric from Leicester." "He's a complete fraud." "Then Larry Taft decides to weigh in our paid, sexed concert pianist." "There's a massive brawl, fists everywhere, nothing I can do to pull them apart." "The virtuoso's hands end up looking like they've been through a mangle..." " and I have to call an ambulance!" " Well, at least no-one died." "Well, of course no-one died!" "I dunno, you ride in on your white charger, offering to save the day..." " So I went to my docr..." " give something back to these people..." " and pay for it." " He said to me... and look at the thanks I get." ""Best go see a specialist, boy"" "I'm surrounded by a bunch of half-wits." ""You might have the big C."" "You're not listening to a word I say!" " So, I..." " I've put a hell of a lot in this." "...went to Harley Street." "There'll be critics, Veronica..." "Private clinic." "God knows how many people from hundreds the mainland." "Lovely carpets." "And if the little shit can't play on I'm gonna look a complete twat!" "Sexy receptionist." "He gave me what's called a 'fine needle biopsy'." "In two weeks he called me back." "They say I have... three months to live." "It's cancer." "Of the pancreas." "Basically, what I'm trying to tell is... you can have the fucking clock." "Right, morrow morning we're getting on a plane to Zurich." "No." "There's a client of mine." "He's a top oncologist." "No, Sebastian." "No." "I don't want to go anywhere." "I don't want you to pay." "I want to stay here... with my brother." "Morning." "Sebastian, you look awfully calm having lost your precious concert." "Well, Veronica did take the piano away." "I think it was probably the fight that decided it for her." "Anyway, it was only a concert." "So... how's Narcisco?" "He's in the hospital, actually." "You should have seen my dad." "What's up with this music you guys are always listening?" "It's so depressing." ""Four Last Songs."" "Richard Strauss wrote them for his wife the year before he died." "They're about... the mystery of life, the acceptance of death." "It was either this or Neil Diamond at mum's house." "Such a big of music, Sebastian." "I bet that's why you wanted to take the concert, right?" "I mean, it had nothing to do with the fact hat it was so important to my father." "I should have never confided in you," "I mean of course you would have done anything to steal it from him." "But I guess that's exactly what I wanted, right?" "Well, don't worry..." "I'm gonna be out of your hair soon." "I was invited to stay with my dad, actually." "I guess he really needs me... now that he has nothing." "So, thanks." "Larry has worked so hard." "This concert has consumed him... and it's a wonderful thing that he wants to do." " Can't we still try?" " I don't care." "He's not an artist." "No, Larry's not an artist, but he is a passionate man." "And he loves music." "And he loves your husband's music." "Let me tell you about love." "You are a young, naive, romantic woman." "This man has convinced you to believe in him." "Men are such good liars, they even believe believe their own lies." "No-one convinced me, Veronica." "I've chosen to believe in Larry." "And I've chosen to love him." "Helena is locked in a wer." "And you are locked in a prison in your heart." "You must forgive." "No-one plays the piano on my land." "I've seen the manuscript, Veronica." "It's his only romantic piece." "And on every page there's a dedication to you." "He loved you, Veronica." "There you go." "You know, if Sebastian tried to make me breakfast, it would be like..." ""foie gras" and grapes." "Yeah, that guy's gonna end up with gout." "Thanks." " Hi." " Hi." "I just made some eggs." "Would you like to share?" " I would love." " Great." "There you go." " I spoke to Veronica." " You did?" "She is a desperate, lonely woman, Larry." "I know." " You guys have any hot sauce?" " Yeah, we got a hot sauce." "Honey, where's that hot sauce?" "You know, that we got from the..." "Give it here." "Great." "Come on." "This is really good stuff, but go easy..." "We might have to call an ambulance for you." "You know, I was thinking... there is no reason why you can't stage your own concert and play." "No-one would come." " I know you can do it, Larry." " I am not good enough." "So you make a few mistakes, it's not a big deal." "You can do it, I know you can." " Veronica took back the piano." " Yeah, that could be a problem." "And she also locked up the amphitheatre." "When I lived in New York, we put on a concert hallway in the apartment." "We can do it anywhere." "No-one would come to hear me play." "Everyone wants to hear the music." "I still have the music." "I mean, I'd like to hear you play it before I go." "Sorry to interrupt." "Larry, I realise I haven't paid you for the other night." "Thank you, it was a wonderful evening." "Hey, you want some eggs?" "Sebastian, this is too much money." "No, really..." "Look, this more than tocs my playing." "I can't accept that." "I don't think I behaved entirely honourably." "This is by way of an apology." " Right, well, thank you." " Come and sit down." "Another time." "I've recently taken up the mandolin." "Early days, but there's this lovely piece." "I was wondering if we could play it gether sometime." "Yeah, sure." "I've always thought how wonderful the mandolin would sound with the the recorder." "Larry..." "If there was anyway I could make this concert happen for you, I would." "This one's plain as well." "Can I have another one?" "Hey, are you sure there's enough to go across?" "Very good." "Thank you." "I invite everybody to join in with the wonderful..." " Sebastian, Is this enough, you think?" " Trust me, you'll look fabulous." "There you are." "Come on, it's about start." "It will be my pleasure to invite you all, please." "Some days I feel so alive... and that hurts." "I'm scared... frightened, petrified." "I don't know what happens next." "What happens next... is two lads, build a raft... out of anything they can find." "Bits of old wood plastic barrels... and they lash them gether... and in the dead of night, they the creep out of the house, set off down stream." "They don't know where they're going." "They know that dawn will come... and that they're going on this adventure gether." "Done by (c) dcd / January 2012"
