"THE TELL-TALE HEART" "I'm glad, I'm really glad." "I can't possibly imagine what you must have suffered." "Let's make a toast to your extraordinary recovery." "And to you, brother... because thanks to you I will never be the same." "And then mom said:" ""Go immediately and ask him to forgive you"." ""It's always useful to have priests and lawyers on your side"." ""because they are the ones who'll help you when you need it most"." "Yeah, I remember that." "Mom was a very intelligent woman, far more than dad, with all his books and studies." "Sure." "I've just noticed." "Dad's library." "His books, his desk, his chess set," "and these estrange figures he was so fond of." "Everything remains the same." "That's how I try to cheat time." " Nothing's changed." " No." "You're wrong." "You and I, we have changed." "But tell me, what are you going to do now?" "Just rest." "I just want to rest." "Sure, of course." "Go up to your room and sleep a while." "Tomorrow we will talk about everything." "It's wonderful to have you here again." " It's like the old times." " No, not like the old times." "Everything will be different now, you'll see." "Good night, brother." "Yes?" "Yes, it's me." "What's wrong?" "I beg your pardon?" "But that can't be." "He's here." "Yes, here, in the house." "He arrived this afternoon and now he's sleeping in his room." "Is he dangerous?" "It's all right." "I'll try to divert him, but for God's sake, hurry up!" "It was true, brother." "It was true." "I was insane." "That's why I heard things, because I was insane... and you were the cause." "Your heart." "Do you remember when I was a child and thunderstorm terrified me?" "Do you remember how I ran to your bed to sleep by your side?" "I hated storms!" "I had to squeeze you tight every time I heard a thunder." "And meanwhile, darkness... and silence." "When you held me close I could only listen to your heart, your heartbeats." "Lord!" "I don't know how many nights I fell asleep... listening to the sound of your heart." "Tick-tack..." "Tick-tack..." "An horrible clock that wouldn't stop." "That's when I started hearing things." "At first I didn't think much of it, but then I started to hear everything, everything!" "I heard everything can be heard, in the earth, and in the heaven." "I heard many things in hell!" "And your heart, your heart beating repeatedly in my heart..." "That clock won't sound anymore." "There are no beats." "Now I don't hear things that I don't want to." "Now we'll rest, brother." "Now we'll rest." "Subtitles by Innominabilis"
