"Now, let me show you how a boss walks." "Doesn't stop." "Doesn't care who's in his way." "Even turning is like... so perfect..." "Winston!" "Thank you." "It was... it was most kind." "It was very thoughtful of you to mend the hem of my trousers." "It's part of my work, Mr. Kinsky." "Well, thank you all the same." "Good night." "Good night." "Morning, Shandurai." "Good morning, Mr. Kinsky." "I don't think he has any friends." "He had this rich aunt..." "You'll end up in bed with him." "So then, come to bed with me." "Anyway, you are always telling me you are gay." "Exactly." "You're the only woman in the world I could sleep with." "I'm going home." "I have an exam soon, Agostino, you know?" "Me, too." "Well, it's important to me, and this is a waste of time!" "This is my cabinet!" "I think this is yours." "It belonged to my aunt." "I do not understand you!" "I don't understand this music." "I rather hoped you might keep it." "It's not possible I keep this." "You know?" "Why?" "Why do I keep this?" "I love you." "I absolutely..." "Look, I'm in love with you." "I'm sorry." "I think I should go." "Marry me!" "Marry you?" "Marry me, yes." "Please." "I cannot marry you." "Marry me." "You're crazy." "I've never felt anything like this before." "I've never..." "I've never said such things." "I love you." "We could go anywhere." "I'll go anywhere with you." "We could go to Africa." "Africa?" "What do you know about Africa?" "What do you know?" "Let me go." "Please love me." "Please love me!" "I'd do anything." "What do I have to do to make you love me?" "I'll do anything!" "You get my husband out of jail!" "I'm sorry." "I didn't realize you were married." "May I ask you why he's in jail?" "Are you all right?" "I believe this is yours." "Sorry." "Uh, it just slipped." "He said to the disciples..." ""People were eating and drinking..." ""buying and selling..." ""planting and building..." ""but the day Lot left Sodom..." ""it rained fire and brimstone from heaven..." ""and it destroyed them all." ""Anyone who tries to preserve his life..." ""will lose it." ""And anyone who loses it..." ""will be kept safe."" "You want coffee?" "Something?" "No, no, no." "I don't think so." "Thank you all the same." "Congratulations." "I have to go out for the day." "Someone's coming to collect the tapestry from the music room... so if you could just show them where it is." "I suppose they'll need the ladder." "Coming." "Oh, no, I clean later." "No, no." "Please, please, please." "Shandurai, could you please pass me... some of the manuscript paper over there?" "There's not much to dust now." "Yes." "I know." "The carpet could do with some Hoovering, though." "You sure I don't disturb you?" "Go ahead." "The bookcase." "Uh, I'll get it." "Father!" "You're here?" "Well, uh..." "Carry on, carry on." "Well, wonderful, wonderful." "Where?" "I'll see you in one minute." "I must go out." ""My dear Shandurai..."" ""Good news of your husband." ""He is alive."" ""He is being transferred..." ""from the military jail..."" ""to an ordinary prison..." ""and his trial has been set for next week." "Who is this?" "Why?" " Found you." " Agostino." " Let me in." " No, no, no." " Please, let me in." " What are you doing here?" "Let me in." "Let me in." "Please, please." "He's good, your pianist." "I can be a student for the rest of my life." "Why not?" "Was it so bad?" "Dreadful." "They were really homophobic." "Let's get drunk." "Where is the whiskey, the cognac?" "No, let go of me!" "What?" "Go, go?" "Go out?" "Where?" "You OK, Mr. Kinsky?" "Yes, I'm fine." "Are you sure?" "It's just... you seem..." "Seem what?" "Maybe something I can do for you, hey?" "No, thank you." "Well, as a matter of fact, um..." "I'll be giving a small concert next Friday for some friends." "Perhaps you could arrange to be there to help." "Yes, of course." "I'll be performing a little piece I composed." "You'll probably find it rather... trivial." "What is it?" "Mr. Kinsky, I want to ask you something." "I wanted to ask you if, uh..." "What?" "There's this friend of mine... and it's his birthday on Friday... so I wanted to give him a present... and I thought that maybe he could be at your concert." "Yes, of course." "The one who was making so much noise." "I meant to say sorry." "I didn't know he was coming, and... he was very, very drunk 'cause he failed his exam... and I said, "zitto, zitto, quiet," but he still..." "He's not my boyfriend." "Shandurai, where are you going?" "My husband." ""Freedom." "Arriving Sunday at dawn." "Winston."" "We must give him a big party." "You'll make love for a week." "You've gotta believe it, yes?" "Aren't you happy, Shandurai?" " I don't know." " Why?" "Come in." "An incredible thing has happened." "I heard from my husband... and he is alive." "He's been freed." "He's free." "Well, that's marvelous news." "You must be very happy." "I wanted to ask you if... it would be OKthat Winston... stays with me downstairs for a few days." "Of course, of course." "When is he arriving?" "Very early tomorrow morning." "Well, that's very exciting for you." "He's a brave man, you know." "He's a good man." "I respect him very much." "I found the ball." "Look forward to meeting him." "To our Lord, who once again has given us proof of his mercy." "And to you, for your kindness, your help, and your tenacity." "I hope one day you'll invite me to one of your concerts." "I don't really give concerts." "What?" "I don't play in public." "Why not?" "Well..." "One of the finest pianists of our day, Vladimir Horowitz... he stopped playing at the peak of his career." "Became convinced that his... his fingers were made of glass." "Each time he struck... he was terrified that the finger might just shatter." "Franco Ferarro, wonderful Italian conductor." "Every time he mounted the podium... he sensed this terrible force... pushing him backwards." "He just... fainted away, just fainted every time." "You faint?" "That is why you don't give concerts." "I don't..." "I don't faint." "No, no, no, no, I've had enough." "Oh, well." "We've all had enough." "Now, what about you?" "Why don't you play in public?" "Me?" "I'm just not good enough."
