00:06:59 Armbruster.
00:07:02 - You are from where?
00:07:04 It says all that right on the...
00:07:06 - Your profession?
00:07:08 If you must know,
00:07:10 of Armbruster Industries.
00:07:12 What is purpose
00:07:15 To pick up a body.
00:07:16 A body?
00:07:18 A corpse.
00:07:20 Whose corpse?
00:07:22 Dr. Fleischmann?
00:07:24 The man whose passport
00:07:27 Wait a minute.
00:07:29 He and I exchanged clothes.
00:07:32 He must be around here
00:07:43 I was on the golf course...
00:07:45 when I got the bad news
00:07:47 He was killed in an automobile
00:07:49 I only had 30 minutes...
00:07:50 to make the funeral
00:07:52 if I was to catch the plane.
00:07:54 And how would it look
00:07:56 in plaid pants
00:08:05 This way, Dr. Fleischmann.
00:08:06 I am not Dr. Fleischmann.
00:08:10 I'm not Mr. Armbruster.
00:08:14 I just did this guy a favor.
00:08:16 Tells me his father is dead.
00:08:19 There he is.
00:08:23 That's him!
00:08:25 What the hell
00:08:28 I'm sorry.
00:08:30 This is his passport.
00:08:32 Here.
00:08:34 That is mine.
00:08:39 - OK? All clear?
00:08:41 - May I go now?
00:08:43 Why not?
00:08:44 Because passport
00:08:45 Then stamp it.
00:08:46 You have to go back
00:08:50 Look, I know you foreigners.
00:08:52 I know how you love
00:08:54 but my father's lying
00:08:57 I've got to get
00:08:59 and a boat to Ischia...
00:09:00 and if you guys
00:09:02 if there is
00:09:04 if I don't get him
00:09:05 in time for that funeral
00:09:06 there's going to be
00:09:25 God almighty.
00:09:38 Eulogy, first draft.
00:09:42 We have gathered here
00:09:47 a rare man,
00:09:50 Wendell Armbruster Sr...
00:09:53 was an old-fashioned man.
00:09:54 I mean that in the noblest
00:09:57 In these days of defeatism
00:10:00 he was one who believed
00:10:03 devotion to his family,
00:10:08 Not bad.
00:10:10 He died suddenly
00:10:16 far away from his loved ones...
00:10:18 alone in a distant land
00:10:21 to rest his mind
00:10:34 He was a philanthropist,
00:10:38 a tireless crusader
00:10:41 and an ensign in the Coast Guard
00:10:44 Friends, if I may borrow...
00:10:47 Yes?
00:10:48 I was wondering,
00:10:51 I'm certainly not
00:10:53 so don't you start now.
00:10:55 Why are you shouting at me?
00:10:56 Yes, my name is Armbruster,
00:10:59 I thought that's what
00:11:00 but I didn't expect you
00:11:07 What the...
00:11:10 Friends, if I may borrow
00:11:14 "Lives of great men
00:11:53 Excuse me,
00:11:57 No, not really.
00:11:58 Yes, and how come
00:12:01 I know a lot
00:12:03 You're 42,
00:12:06 you have a wife
00:12:07 and you're a former president...
00:12:09 of the Junior Chamber
00:12:11 You read the Newsweek
00:12:14 Business and Finance.
00:12:18 Incredible, isn't it?
00:12:20 The weather, I mean.
00:12:22 Especially to someone
00:12:24 Last year, summer
00:12:26 and three days in August.
00:12:29 Have you ever been
00:12:30 - No.
00:12:33 As a matter of fact,
00:12:37 It's a little frightening...
00:12:38 first time
00:12:41 In Italian, everything sounds
00:12:48 Do you know what that means?
00:12:50 What?
00:12:51 There's no soap
00:12:54 How about that?
00:12:55 And when you're
00:12:57 that's a restaurant...
00:12:59 do you know there are sixteen
00:13:02 Spaghetti, spagatini,
00:13:05 cannelloni, rigatoni,
00:13:08 manicotti, gnocchi,
00:13:13 Of course,
00:13:16 I don't know if you noticed...
00:13:18 but I have
00:13:20 I noticed that.
00:13:26 And in the hotel, before
00:13:29 she asks,"Permesso?"
00:13:32 And if you want her
00:13:34 you say, "Avanti."
00:13:36 Forward.
00:13:39 You should really get
00:13:42 I know
00:14:41 My name is Carlucci.
00:14:44 I am the director of the hotel.
00:14:45 How do you do?
00:14:47 I sorrow for you
00:14:49 Thank you.
00:14:50 My deepest condolences...
00:14:53 What are you apologizing for?
00:14:55 That it should happen
00:14:58 on an Italian road
00:15:00 - He was a bad driver.
00:15:04 As Verdi said...
00:15:08 An act of God.
00:15:10 Where did they put him?
00:15:12 A very nice place.
00:15:16 - What are we waiting for?
00:15:19 This is it.
00:15:55 How far is the morgue?
00:15:56 It is in the other direction.
00:15:58 Hold it.
00:16:00 The morgue,
00:16:01 It is the lunch hour.
00:16:03 It's 2:30.
00:16:05 In Italy, the lunch hour
00:16:08 Three hours for lunch?
00:16:12 Here we do not rush
00:16:14 for chicken sandwich
00:16:17 Here we take our time.
00:16:19 We cook our pasta.
00:16:23 We drink our wine.
00:16:26 What do you do in the evening?
00:16:28 In the evening,
00:16:42 Crazy.
00:16:45 Exactly how did
00:16:48 I don't know exactly.
00:16:50 It was a dark night,
00:16:53 Maybe he did not see it.
00:16:55 The car plunged straight down
00:16:59 They must have been
00:17:01 They?
00:17:02 The police came,
00:17:03 were at the wreck.
00:17:05 It took them hours
00:17:06 What do you mean, corpses?
00:17:11 - Just two.
00:17:14 You see, your father...
00:17:17 he was not alone in the car
00:17:19 Who was with him?
00:17:21 Nobody, really.
00:17:23 Another guest at the hotel.
00:17:26 It's beautiful out there.
00:17:27 You can see
00:17:29 and Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii.
00:17:34 Here we are.
00:17:53 It sure doesn't look
00:17:56 I accept the compliment.
00:18:02 This place
00:18:04 now that your father
00:18:07 I am Bruno, the valet.
00:18:08 I hope you have
00:18:13 Thank you.
00:18:25 I will take you
00:18:27 It is on the main floor
00:18:30 Sometimes he would get
00:18:32 and we had to carry him down
00:18:34 Poor bastard.
00:18:37 It is the price
00:18:41 decisions, pressures, anxieties.
00:18:44 Naturally, the batteries
00:18:47 The transistors break down.
00:18:52 121-122.
00:18:56 If you please.
00:19:25 Nothing has been touched.
00:19:27 He always had this suite
00:19:30 July 15th to August 15th.
00:19:56 You must be tired.
00:19:59 I'm OK.
00:20:00 While you are here...
00:20:01 maybe you should take
00:20:03 No, thanks.
00:20:05 On the train?
00:20:06 I drank it.
00:20:11 Your father,
00:20:15 And the day he would leave...
00:20:17 he would put his arm around me
00:20:19 He always called me Carlo...
00:20:22 "What an idiot I am
00:20:24 "I wish I could
00:20:26 To tell you the truth, when he
00:20:28 I thought the place
00:20:30 A phony?
00:20:31 All this nonsense about mud
00:20:34 and radioactive springs.
00:20:38 You may not know it...
00:20:39 but Ischia has been
00:20:42 The emperor Tiberius
00:20:45 And De' Medici and Caruso
00:20:49 Sophia Loren has the gout?
00:20:51 No. Here we cure everything.
00:20:54 Take Michelangelo.
00:20:58 He took the waters here
00:21:00 They're in the local museum.
00:21:11 Shall I unpack for you?
00:21:13 Just put it anywhere.
00:21:21 Operator, I'd like to make...
00:21:23 You're not out to lunch,
00:21:25 Good. I'd like to make
00:21:27 to the United States...
00:21:29 Maryland.
00:21:32 "M" as in Michelangelo.
00:21:36 You got it?
00:21:38 Operator? Hello, operator?
00:21:40 You still there?
00:21:44 The number is 426-9956,
00:21:50 All right, I'll give it
00:21:57 How you doing so far?
00:21:59 Good. Area code 301.
00:22:02 I want to speak to
00:22:08 Yes, it was a great loss.
00:22:12 Would you call me back, please?
00:22:22 They must have liked
00:22:25 Yes. When the news came,
00:22:29 The orchestra
00:22:31 they stood around
00:22:32 and played all
00:22:34 Is that so?
00:22:38 we'll go over
00:22:39 and next, we'll make
00:22:41 First...
00:22:42 there are certain formalities
00:22:44 What formalities?
00:22:45 You cannot walk into
00:22:48 point to a body, and say,
00:22:50 and walk out with him.
00:22:51 Why not? Do they think I go
00:22:55 You have to fill out
00:22:57 Regulations about exporting
00:23:00 Everything must be
00:23:01 A lot of crap. You fill
00:23:03 Certainly. And then there is...
00:23:05 some additional crap
00:23:08 Such as?
00:23:09 We will need a certificate
00:23:11 from an infection
00:23:14 Like what, mumps or measles?
00:23:15 He died from driving
00:23:18 Then we will need
00:23:19 that the body has been
00:23:22 We also need
00:23:24 but this has to be issued
00:23:26 Don't bother me
00:23:29 You're exactly
00:23:32 Then you will have
00:23:34 he knocked over...
00:23:36 Pay it.
00:23:37 Also, you will have to settle
00:23:40 Who are they?
00:23:41 They own the vineyard
00:23:43 They want damages.
00:23:45 Settle with them.
00:23:47 They're asking 2 million lira.
00:23:49 How much is that?
00:23:51 $3,500.
00:23:52 $3,500 for a bunch
00:23:55 No. Let them sue.
00:23:56 I agree. They are crooks.
00:23:58 Then there is the problem
00:24:01 What's the problem?
00:24:03 For export, a special
00:24:06 It must be lined with zinc.
00:24:08 It must be absolutely airtight.
00:24:10 Get one.
00:24:12 There are none in Ischia,
00:24:15 I have located one in Amalfi.
00:24:18 Then there's
00:24:21 Another thing... I want
00:24:23 to take me and the casket
00:24:24 any delay in catching
00:24:26 The funeral's Tuesday.
00:24:27 Tuesday?
00:24:29 In the morning, 11:00,
00:24:32 Impossible.
00:24:34 I what? What do you
00:24:39 So many things to do.
00:24:42 Tomorrow is Sunday.
00:24:44 Somebody will work.
00:24:46 This is a Catholic country.
00:24:49 Then we'll get a dispensation
00:24:52 For a Presbyterian?
00:24:54 Get this... come hell
00:24:57 I'm getting out of here
00:24:58 because at precisely
00:25:00 work at every Armbruster
00:25:02 will come to a stop
00:25:05 can watch the services...
00:25:07 on closed-circuit television...
00:25:09 except for Puerto Rico.
00:25:11 And there'll be governors there
00:25:14 and supreme court judges,
00:25:16 the glee club from
00:25:19 The White House
00:25:21 and you want me to postpone it?
00:25:32 Excuse me. I'm looking
00:25:34 - They told me at the desk...
00:25:37 How do you do?
00:25:42 You are not supposed to be here.
00:25:44 I know, but I need some help.
00:25:46 All these questions,
00:25:48 I will be glad to help,
00:25:50 I will see you later.
00:25:52 Damn it!
00:25:55 The faucet says cold,
00:25:58 So did I.
00:26:01 Then I looked it up in my book.
00:26:04 "C" stands for caldo...
00:26:06 but that doesn't mean cold;
00:26:08 Freddo means cold.
00:26:10 - It's you again.
00:26:12 - You know each other?
00:26:15 Yes, we do. We've been
00:26:17 On a train or a boat, there's
00:26:20 but when you come
00:26:22 I assure you,
00:26:25 I'm here to pick up my mother.
00:26:28 They tell me I can't see her
00:26:31 That's right.
00:26:35 I hate going there.
00:26:38 I'd much rather remember her
00:26:41 but I suppose it has to be done.
00:26:46 Wait a minute.
00:26:52 Your mother... where is she?
00:26:55 In the morgue.
00:26:57 What's she doing in the morgue?
00:27:00 What do people usually
00:27:01 She's lying there...
00:27:03 side by side
00:27:06 Side by side with my father?
00:27:10 Because that's the way
00:27:12 when the accident happened.
00:27:14 I told you he was not alone.
00:27:16 My father and your mother?
00:27:18 Why not? You know how it is
00:27:21 People meet in the dining room
00:27:23 I'm terribly sorry.
00:27:27 Of course you didn't.
00:27:28 I must have seemed like
00:27:30 Please forgive me, Miss...
00:27:34 If there's anything at all
00:27:37 There is.
00:27:40 I will get it.
00:27:42 Would you like some brandy?
00:27:44 Please, don't worry about me.
00:27:46 I don't know what to say.
00:27:48 because if my father
00:27:51 You mustn't feel that way.
00:27:54 If it had to happen,
00:27:58 Warm night, full moon,
00:28:02 At the height of the season.
00:28:06 Of course, I'm completely
00:28:09 Any difficulties,
00:28:11 Thank you.
00:28:12 Wait until you hear
00:28:14 I heard.
00:28:15 For instance, you need a coffin
00:28:18 Zinc. You better get
00:28:20 I had trouble finding one.
00:28:22 Come on. You can dig up
00:28:25 You want secondhand coffins?
00:28:30 Is that Mrs. Armbruster Sr.?
00:28:32 Yes. They would've been married
00:28:36 How sad.
00:28:39 That's my wife Emily
00:28:43 That's one thing
00:28:45 You're all so thin.
00:28:49 Swimming,
00:28:51 I've tried jogging
00:28:53 at seven o'clock in the morning
00:28:55 but I never worked up a sweat.
00:29:02 Worked up an appetite.
00:29:06 What's that?
00:29:09 It's a nightgown.
00:29:12 What's the meaning of that?
00:29:14 - Of what?
00:29:15 That. It's a mistake.
00:29:22 Here's another mistake.
00:29:24 I want to know what
00:29:26 If I am to get
00:29:28 I had better call Amalfi.
00:29:29 Hold it.
00:29:31 An explanation?
00:29:34 I'll help you.
00:29:36 The valet forgot
00:29:37 when he moved my mother's
00:29:41 Right?
00:29:43 You just cannot get
00:29:45 Time!
00:29:48 You mean her mother
00:29:50 were shacked up together?
00:29:51 I don't particularly care
00:29:54 All right, they were making it.
00:29:57 Just because two people
00:29:59 or the same...
00:30:01 that does not mean there was
00:30:03 Now you're being
00:30:06 She was a very beautiful woman.
00:30:09 She was.
00:30:10 And a lady.
00:30:12 And your father was a gentleman.
00:30:13 No matter how bad things look,
00:30:17 I have an uncle who is
00:30:19 Would I lie to you?
00:30:20 You're goddamned right.
00:30:25 They were making it.
00:30:27 Son of a bitch!
00:30:31 Do you know how old he was?
00:30:33 67. A grandfather...
00:30:36 I would be proud
00:30:38 Shut up.
00:30:40 As for your mother, she ought to
00:30:43 My mother had nothing
00:30:44 She was the perfect lady.
00:30:46 Meets a rich elderly
00:30:48 One hour later, she's having
00:30:50 Two hours later, she moves
00:30:52 and then...
00:30:53 They didn't meet in the lobby.
00:30:56 What the hell difference
00:31:00 That was ten years ago.
00:31:06 Ten years?
00:31:09 This has been going on
00:31:12 Every summer,
00:31:16 You mean all the time
00:31:18 he was over here getting cured,
00:31:21 This is neither the time
00:31:24 Goddamn fool!
00:31:26 Didn't he care
00:31:29 Not to worry. It was all
00:31:31 They were registered
00:31:33 Mr. And... Oh, my God.
00:31:35 Yes?
00:31:36 What? Am I ready
00:31:38 No, I'm not ready
00:31:40 Who's calling?
00:31:43 Put her on.
00:31:46 Hello, Emily. I'm fine.
00:31:49 The trip? It's fine.
00:31:53 It was just one of those
00:31:56 For whatever it's worth,
00:31:58 he didn't suffer
00:32:01 I'm working on it.
00:32:02 There's no problems,
00:32:04 Questionnaires, permits.
00:32:07 Where do you suddenly find
00:32:12 Two? I didn't say two!
00:32:14 What would I do
00:32:18 No! I'm sorry.
00:32:19 No, I didn't call
00:32:21 They're in Rome,
00:32:22 What are they going
00:32:24 How's mother holding up?
00:32:28 And how are the kids?
00:32:30 - Good-bye.
00:32:32 Just a minute.
00:32:37 See you at the morgue.
00:32:43 How are the funeral
00:32:47 What? Who's Miss who?
00:32:49 Piggott?
00:32:53 She's... in the hotel.
00:32:56 Works here.
00:32:58 As an interpreter.
00:33:01 Of course you need
00:33:02 even when you
00:33:04 In this country,
00:33:19 This is the morgue?
00:33:21 Yes, sir. Seventeenth century.
00:33:23 The walls are that thick.
00:33:57 Good afternoon.
00:34:00 So nice to see you again.
00:34:04 How do you feel?
00:34:06 That's a silly question.
00:34:15 We will have to wait.
00:34:17 - Who?
00:34:22 How do you say it?
00:34:23 - The coroner?
00:34:25 Don't tell me
00:34:26 Very likely.
00:34:27 A coroner, he eats very well.
00:34:33 Pretty flowers.
00:34:36 In Italian, they're
00:34:38 You don't say. What are
00:34:41 Daffodils.
00:34:48 Now...
00:34:50 when it comes to dealing
00:34:53 whatever happened between
00:34:56 we're going to have to be
00:34:58 Don't worry about
00:35:00 We fixed it.
00:35:02 Let me ask you...
00:35:05 What do you do for a living?
00:35:07 I work in a boutique
00:35:11 I'm sure you could use
00:35:13 I mean, anything
00:35:15 You'll find
00:35:16 You will keep in mind,
00:35:18 what's been happening
00:35:19 Since January,
00:35:21 has dropped 141/2 points.
00:36:09 Like music.
00:36:21 OK.
00:37:18 Do you,
00:37:20 swear that you are
00:37:22 and this is the body
00:37:24 Wendell Armbruster Sr.?
00:37:34 I do.
00:37:36 OK.
00:37:42 Do you, Pamela Piggott...
00:37:44 swear that you are
00:37:46 and this is the body of your
00:38:02 It is necessary
00:38:13 I do.
00:38:17 OK.
00:39:29 - Thank you.
00:39:52 I'm sorry. Go right ahead.
00:39:55 OK.
00:40:08 Any luck with the coffins?
00:40:09 Yes, sir. My brother-in-law
00:40:13 who happens to be
00:40:14 he has two of those caskets...
00:40:16 and he is sending them out
00:40:20 You can sign now.
00:40:37 Come on. Just sign, please.
00:41:23 Not if I can help it.
00:41:44 All right, what happens next?
00:41:45 The red papers go to Naples
00:41:48 The white papers
00:41:50 to certify there are no
00:41:53 And the green papers,
00:41:55 until we get the coffins
00:41:57 That's all. But we have
00:42:00 Like what?
00:42:02 They are closed on Sunday.
00:42:03 But fortunately,
00:42:05 who knows an official
00:42:07 and if he can get him to open
00:42:11 If you ask me, any foreigner
00:42:14 is out of his friggin' skull.
00:42:17 - May I make a suggestion?
00:42:20 - I have a super idea, I think.
00:42:22 With all this nasty business...
00:42:24 zinc coffins
00:42:26 and export licenses...
00:42:29 Why don't we bury them here?
00:42:31 Why don't we what?
00:42:33 There's a lovely old cemetery
00:42:36 They could be there together.
00:42:38 - They'd like that.
00:42:40 It would solve
00:42:41 Absolutely.
00:42:44 we have a large plot up there.
00:42:48 Better yet,
00:42:50 in the blue grotto
00:42:53 or in Venice,
00:42:54 Verona.
00:42:55 Or we could build
00:42:57 with an eternal flame.
00:42:58 It was just an idea.
00:42:59 They were not
00:43:01 They were
00:43:03 Let's just keep it
00:43:09 Let's go.
00:43:18 Ask fat-ass if she wants a ride.
00:43:21 Tell him no, thank you.
00:44:40 He died suddenly
00:44:45 far from his loved ones...
00:44:47 alone in a distant land
00:44:51 to rest his mind
00:44:54 Bullshit.
00:44:55 He was a philanthropist,
00:44:59 a tireless crusader
00:45:02 and an ensign
00:45:05 Dirty old man.
00:45:07 Eulogy, second draft.
00:45:12 Friends, coworkers,
00:45:15 we come to bury
00:45:18 not to praise him.
00:45:20 The evil men do...
00:45:26 Wendell Armbruster Sr.
00:45:33 I mean, avanti.
00:45:40 The suit, I pressed it.
00:45:43 The shirt, it's like new.
00:45:45 Drip and dry... great invention.
00:45:48 Like electric toothbrush,
00:45:53 I love America.
00:45:55 That's a switch.
00:45:57 I lived in America.
00:46:01 So friendly, so kind.
00:46:03 When I left New York...
00:46:06 they took me to airport
00:46:08 They put me on plane.
00:46:12 - Who's they?
00:46:15 - You were deported?
00:46:19 In America when they deport you,
00:46:23 Big 747.
00:46:26 Window seat.
00:46:27 Beautiful blond stewardess...
00:46:30 feeding me with a spoon
00:46:34 Handcuffs, you know?
00:46:36 Who'd you work for over there...
00:46:39 Only part-time.
00:46:41 By profession,
00:46:44 That's very interesting.
00:46:48 You are exactly like
00:46:52 Not exactly!
00:46:54 I mean the size.
00:46:56 So I thought if you
00:46:59 here are all
00:47:02 This is what he wore?
00:47:04 Plaids, bellbottoms,
00:47:07 He had one
00:47:09 but he's wearing it now.
00:47:12 He was a real sport.
00:47:14 See this watch?
00:47:16 He left it for me last year.
00:47:20 And he gave me this lighter.
00:47:25 - And a camera.
00:47:27 A Polaroid.
00:47:33 And as for the lady,
00:47:36 Natural blonde.
00:47:40 Here they are all
00:47:43 I prefer vanilla ice cream.
00:47:48 Here. Get yourself
00:47:52 They were such a swell couple.
00:47:57 and always the sign outside
00:48:01 They never get up
00:48:03 What's there to get up for?
00:48:07 And every night, the orchestra
00:48:11 because they would dance
00:48:14 And then you know
00:48:16 No, and I don't care.
00:48:18 When the sun came up
00:48:21 they would go swimming...
00:48:25 No nothing?
00:48:26 Like the man says on TV...
00:48:28 "In life you only
00:48:31 "so grab all
00:48:35 They were swimming naked
00:48:39 Why not?
00:48:44 Everybody asleep.
00:48:50 Except you, I imagine.
00:48:52 I always get up very early
00:48:55 And that's where the Polaroid
00:48:58 I couldn't help it.
00:49:01 the sun coming up
00:49:04 I know, yes,
00:49:07 I am not a landscape man.
00:49:10 Only portraits and figures.
00:49:12 How is your focus?
00:49:13 Perfect. Color perfect.
00:49:15 And the water here,
00:49:20 So are you, buddy.
00:49:22 Maybe you want
00:49:24 - Maybe.
00:49:27 I'll bet you
00:49:29 It's not a question of money.
00:49:31 I just think that
00:49:33 can help another American...
00:49:38 I'm sorry to intrude...
00:49:40 but there are
00:49:45 What is it now?
00:49:46 I have good news,
00:49:48 About the coffins, there is
00:49:51 so they put the coffins
00:49:53 and now the airport
00:49:55 - Naturally.
00:49:57 About the health certificate,
00:49:59 on the phone
00:50:01 He cannot come.
00:50:02 Why not? How long
00:50:05 You do not understand.
00:50:07 Double hernia.
00:50:08 So now we are trying to get
00:50:11 - About the export license...
00:50:14 You know my nephew in Naples.
00:50:16 He is not in Naples.
00:50:18 But he is going to help us.
00:50:19 So he will take a plane
00:50:22 that is, unless the fog moves
00:50:25 All right, let's have
00:50:27 That was the good news.
00:50:32 Something mysterious
00:50:34 What?
00:50:35 You remember the bodies
00:50:37 Of course I remember them.
00:50:41 They're not there anymore.
00:50:45 What do you mean,
00:50:50 They are missing.
00:50:52 Signore Cipriani informs me that
00:50:55 the bodies were gone.
00:50:56 Gone? Gone where?
00:50:59 That is the mystery.
00:51:01 When he looked in at 5:00,
00:51:03 and so was Miss Piggott.
00:51:17 He saw her pull up the shade
00:51:21 That kook.
00:51:27 Please. You don't really think
00:51:30 That's preposterous.
00:51:32 Preposterous to you,
00:51:33 but not to her, because
00:51:35 Hello. Get me
00:51:37 - I don't know the number.
00:51:40 Just get her.
00:51:41 Let us be logical.
00:51:44 A little girl like that?
00:51:46 Little girl? She's built
00:51:48 What? Try the lobby.
00:51:51 How the hell should
00:51:53 Signore Cipriani tells me...
00:51:54 he will have to report this
00:51:56 No police.
00:51:57 We don't want any reports.
00:51:58 We're gonna handle
00:52:00 Here. Get yourself
00:52:02 You'd better start checking...
00:52:03 on that family plot
00:52:05 I don't believe it.
00:52:06 There must be
00:52:08 What other explanation?
00:52:09 Who the hell else is gonna
00:52:11 Dr. Christian Bernard?
00:52:14 Goddamn you, Miss Piggott.
00:52:16 Hello, Emily. How are you?
00:52:18 It's Baltimore.
00:52:20 I'm sorry. I thought
00:52:24 the interpreter.
00:52:27 She keeps fouling everything up.
00:52:29 I can't fire her. I need her.
00:52:32 No problems. Just a few
00:52:35 but I am on top
00:52:37 Yes, I'm positive.
00:52:41 The State Department?
00:52:43 I don't need any help
00:52:46 Yes. I saw him this afternoon
00:52:50 I haven't seen him lately.
00:52:52 How's mother?
00:52:54 I hope she's all right
00:52:56 We certainly don't want
00:52:58 with television and everything.
00:53:00 Thank God it'll be
00:53:01 Have you heard
00:53:03 That's good. Listen.
00:53:05 What do you think
00:53:08 Because I'm so
00:53:10 Ask him. What's all the noise
00:53:13 Kids are watching
00:53:15 What's the score?
00:53:19 Give them my love...
00:53:21 And kiss-kiss.
00:53:24 Where the hell is that Piggott?
00:53:29 I checked with the cemetery.
00:53:31 No bodies.
00:53:32 - What about her?
00:53:34 She will not answer
00:53:36 She will not open the door.
00:53:37 She won't?
00:53:44 Please, no violence.
00:53:48 Sure.
00:53:49 And if she really is a kook,
00:53:52 and she will fall
00:53:54 God knows what she will do.
00:53:56 I better play it cool.
00:53:59 I mean, freddo.
00:54:09 Go away.
00:54:12 Would you please open the door?
00:54:15 Go away.
00:54:16 I have this problem...
00:54:18 because there's
00:54:21 There's no soap in my bathroom.
00:54:23 Please.
00:54:24 No.
00:54:25 No?
00:54:39 Cool.
00:54:40 You promised.
00:54:48 Where are you?
00:54:53 Did I wake you up?
00:54:55 If you don't leave immediately,
00:54:59 I've been giving a great deal
00:55:04 Operator.
00:55:05 And I have
00:55:06 there's something wrong with it.
00:55:07 Operator, get me
00:55:09 The trouble is, we got off
00:55:11 I've been called plump,
00:55:14 I've been called chubby...
00:55:15 but I've never
00:55:21 - Did I say that?
00:55:24 Shame on me.
00:55:26 The truth of the matter is...
00:55:28 I kind of like girls
00:55:31 here and there.
00:55:33 I know we have this
00:55:36 And you know what
00:55:39 Silicone for injections.
00:55:45 Take those models in "Vogue,"
00:55:50 nothing but skin and bones.
00:55:51 A man gets lucky,
00:55:55 You could even cut yourself.
00:55:56 Like making it
00:56:01 Are you looking for something?
00:56:03 When you first
00:56:07 in the morgue
00:56:09 What notion?
00:56:10 About having the two
00:56:12 I didn't think
00:56:15 I'm as sentimental
00:56:17 but we're grownup people...
00:56:19 and if you look at
00:56:30 What I'm trying to say
00:56:33 A joke? Lovers resting
00:56:35 Is that your idea of a joke?
00:56:37 All right, damn it!
00:56:39 What the hell
00:56:40 I don't know what you mean.
00:56:42 Yes, you do! Come on!
00:56:44 I am not to be shouted at.
00:56:45 I am under orders
00:56:47 You got a psychiatrist.
00:56:49 It's because
00:56:51 He's got me
00:56:53 and self-hypnosis
00:56:54 He wants me to sleep a lot...
00:56:56 because you can't eat
00:56:57 Sometimes I sleep
00:56:59 Good for you. Right now
00:57:01 Right now, I'm going to
00:57:04 I'm going to
00:57:05 and if you want to have
00:57:07 come back tomorrow afternoon.
00:57:09 Tomorrow afternoon?
00:57:11 Don't you understand?
00:57:13 You're shouting again.
00:57:15 And in my weakened condition...
00:57:18 and a teaspoonful of honey.
00:57:28 Get me the dining room.
00:57:30 Please call
00:57:34 I'd like to make
00:57:37 The name is Armbruster...
00:57:40 Really?
00:57:43 Shall we say
00:57:48 Guess what table we got.
00:57:49 Just turn off
00:57:51 Where they had dinner
00:57:53 I thought that would be
00:57:55 if we had the same table,
00:57:58 You should have heard
00:58:00 when I made the reservation.
00:58:02 He had tears in his voice.
00:58:06 This is no time to be
00:58:09 This has nothing to do
00:58:11 It's more like
00:58:15 They would like that!
00:58:24 Shall we say
00:58:49 The fog in Bologna,
00:58:51 and the coffins are on the way.
00:58:53 Great. First we had
00:58:55 Now we have coffins
00:58:56 I have searched the hotel
00:58:59 even the mud baths.
00:59:16 Of course, you must be.
00:59:19 Same face, same suit.
00:59:21 Good evening.
00:59:22 The table is ready.
00:59:23 Not yet. I'm waiting
00:59:25 Of course.
00:59:27 Everything has been anticipated.
00:59:31 - Here you are.
00:59:33 A whisky sour
00:59:35 and for the lady,
00:59:38 - That's what they used to have?
00:59:41 Always.
01:00:16 That's Baron Forshmetelli.
01:00:19 He's ninety years old.
01:00:21 Been coming here since
01:00:24 Remarkable. This place
01:00:27 It certainly does.
01:00:28 Every year his nurses, they keep
01:01:04 I'm sorry to be late.
01:01:06 I had trouble
01:01:09 Actually,
01:01:11 That's only fair. Actually,
01:01:14 Here's your drink.
01:01:16 What's this?
01:01:17 It's a Bacardi for you
01:01:20 That's what they always had.
01:01:22 I don't drink.
01:01:23 Look, Miss Piggott... Pamela...
01:01:26 if this evening is to be
01:01:30 then please don't louse it up.
01:01:31 Of course not.
01:01:37 To mother and father.
01:01:39 Wherever they may be.
01:01:56 I think the captain
01:02:00 Yes. Thank you.
01:02:08 Welcome. I welcome you.
01:02:10 The orchestra welcomes you.
01:02:12 That was their favorite tune.
01:02:14 How very thoughtful.
01:02:30 Madam always sat
01:02:33 Of course.
01:02:41 Shall we start
01:02:44 We have spaghetti, spaghettini,
01:02:47 cannelloni, rigatoni,
01:02:49 tagliarini, buccatini,
01:02:52 cappelotti, crosetti,
01:02:54 pappadelli, tagliatelli...
01:02:56 Tell me, what would
01:02:58 A few gnocchi, a few ravioli...
01:03:01 and some green noodles
01:03:04 Perfect.
01:03:05 As for the wine...
01:03:06 they would always have a Bianco
01:03:10 and the Carba De Salaparucta
01:03:14 Any special entree
01:03:16 Indeed. I have
01:03:19 of ordering
01:03:21 Super.
01:03:23 Not for me.
01:03:32 In that case, I'll have
01:03:34 for two for one.
01:03:36 Would madam like
01:03:39 No, thank you.
01:03:41 Shall I take it out to
01:03:44 I'll manage.
01:03:45 Very good.
01:03:55 I admire your willpower.
01:03:57 Do you know how much I weigh?
01:04:01 91/2 stone.
01:04:05 I'm determined to lose
01:04:07 You came to the right place.
01:04:19 Bertram and I, we used to go...
01:04:21 to an Italian
01:04:23 but it was nothing like this.
01:04:26 The waiters were all Greek,
01:04:31 Who's Bertram?
01:04:33 My boyfriend.
01:04:35 We've been together now
01:04:37 What you would call shacked up.
01:04:40 Would you like to see
01:04:42 Sure.
01:04:43 That's Bertram,
01:04:46 - Plays lead guitar.
01:04:48 They're a terrific group.
01:04:50 They call themselves
01:04:52 Matthew, Mark, Luke...
01:04:54 And Bertram.
01:04:56 He's also a terrific composer.
01:04:58 Right now, he's writing
01:05:03 Splash?
01:05:05 Yes. It's about the sinking
01:05:27 You know, I must admit,
01:05:32 Why?
01:05:33 You're not eating.
01:05:35 I mean about mother and father.
01:05:37 Really? Why? What about them?
01:05:39 Here we are at their table...
01:05:41 enjoying ourselves
01:05:45 Yeah, lying where?
01:05:47 On the other hand...
01:05:49 they would have hated
01:05:52 They weren't exactly
01:05:54 were they?
01:05:55 Maybe I'll just have
01:05:59 Certainly.
01:06:06 You know what they would do
01:06:08 Go swimming in the bay.
01:06:10 Yes, I heard.
01:06:13 Then they'd lie on a rock...
01:06:15 basking in the sun
01:06:18 Baby seal...
01:06:19 That gray-haired, self-righteous
01:06:22 You keep calling him that.
01:06:24 I have nothing against sex...
01:06:28 You name it, and I'm for it.
01:06:30 Just because a man's
01:06:33 mean that he can't have a...
01:06:35 thing, you know,
01:06:36 or with an airline stewardess.
01:06:38 Let's say that you're
01:06:40 and you meet some chick.
01:06:41 OK, swell. You swing
01:06:43 but then aloha.
01:06:45 I see. You can swing with
01:06:50 But if you're in love with
01:06:52 that makes you
01:06:53 Love is for filing clerks...
01:06:56 but not for the head
01:06:57 Thirty-seven companies
01:06:59 Can I have a couple
01:07:01 For color?
01:07:49 That's Italian
01:07:52 Figures.
01:07:54 Your father
01:07:57 and she called him Willie.
01:08:03 What do you know?
01:08:06 Sorry you never met her.
01:08:07 She was a bloody
01:08:10 Yes, I'm sure she was.
01:08:12 I appreciate how you
01:08:15 If you want to bury her
01:08:17 But when it comes to Willie...
01:08:20 Basically, it's
01:08:22 In England, people
01:08:25 How's the weather in Baltimore?
01:08:28 Not very good, really.
01:08:30 There you are.
01:08:31 Here you have the sun
01:08:33 There's no need to lie
01:08:37 It gets so cold and...
01:09:34 Do you mind
01:09:37 Why English?
01:09:39 I do not want anybody
01:09:42 It is confidential.
01:09:44 Who are you?
01:09:46 Let us say I am...
01:09:47 from the lost-and-found
01:09:49 From where?
01:09:52 Tell me, Mr. Armbruster...
01:09:58 missing something?
01:10:00 Or should I say two somethings
01:10:15 I hate to break the spell...
01:10:18 but before you've lost
01:10:20 could I ask you just for
01:10:23 I'll try.
01:10:25 Just think.
01:10:27 Come Tuesday,
01:10:30 watching that funeral
01:10:32 What will it look like
01:10:35 That would look bad.
01:10:37 It would be a catastrophe.
01:10:43 Hello.
01:10:45 Mr. Carlucci's trying
01:10:50 You don't know
01:10:52 What was
01:10:54 they'd twist into something
01:10:57 We can't let that happen.
01:10:58 I'm glad you're beginning
01:11:03 But why should there
01:11:05 No reason, if you'll
01:11:08 But what can I do?
01:11:15 Excuse me.
01:11:19 What's so important?
01:11:21 I was finally getting somewhere.
01:11:23 You're wasting your time.
01:11:25 What?
01:11:26 I kept telling you.
01:11:28 But there is a man in the lobby.
01:11:30 He assured me they are
01:11:33 and he wants to know
01:11:35 in getting them back.
01:11:36 - Who is he?
01:11:38 He won't? He won't?
01:11:54 You must not antagonize him,
01:11:56 What price?
01:11:57 I don't know yet,
01:12:00 All right, you creep,
01:12:02 It's going to be more expensive.
01:12:04 If you'd care to come with me...
01:12:37 This is where
01:12:46 We were all asleep
01:12:49 when there was
01:12:52 So we ran to bottom
01:12:54 and the car, it was smashed.
01:12:56 And the two, they are dead.
01:12:59 And she is holding him
01:13:02 And the radio,
01:13:09 I think that's very touching.
01:13:11 It sure is.
01:13:13 This way, please.
01:13:39 This is Alberto Trotta.
01:13:49 This is Papa Trotta.
01:13:51 And Uncle Trotta.
01:13:53 This is Grandpapa Trotta.
01:13:56 And I am Armando Trotta.
01:13:58 That's a lot of Trottas.
01:14:00 You bet your sweet patootie.
01:14:03 Arnoldo and I...
01:14:06 we used to work with
01:14:10 Black market.
01:14:12 What's your racket now?
01:14:16 We sit down and write you
01:14:20 asking for damages,
01:14:23 he calls on telephone
01:14:27 I did not say screw.
01:14:33 Sue? You take bodies
01:14:38 we take case to court.
01:14:40 It takes many years,
01:14:43 all the money,
01:14:45 So you just stole them?
01:14:46 Stole? That is such
01:14:50 Let us say we are keeping them
01:14:54 Where?
01:14:55 They are very comfortable...
01:14:58 with candles all around
01:15:01 And you will get them
01:15:04 for 2 million lira.
01:15:06 2 mil... They think
01:15:09 2 million lira
01:15:11 and some crushed grapes?
01:15:12 That's nothing.
01:15:14 But when there has been
01:15:17 the wine turns sour.
01:15:20 - Who says so?
01:15:23 I never heard of it.
01:15:25 All right, all right.
01:15:26 Let us ask some old Italians.
01:15:35 Don't believe a word they say.
01:15:37 Neapolitans, you know.
01:15:40 Neapolitans?
01:15:41 I've bargained with
01:15:43 Watch me handle this.
01:15:45 Hey, you. Big Trotta.
01:15:49 There you are.
01:15:51 They know the proverb.
01:15:52 The hell with that.
01:15:54 I don't want any haggling
01:15:56 Here's my offer,
01:15:59 A million lira.
01:16:03 Our family, it is big.
01:16:05 Our vineyard, it is small.
01:16:10 Three of our brothers,
01:16:13 digging for marble...
01:16:16 With all the dust in the lungs.
01:16:20 All right,
01:16:23 Two of our sisters
01:16:27 Other prostitutes...
01:16:29 they use Ferraris
01:16:31 but our sisters,
01:16:35 OK, 2 million lira,
01:16:44 I could not have
01:16:51 And now we'll have some wine
01:16:55 and play bocce, yes?
01:17:00 All right, here you are.
01:17:03 $3,500?
01:17:05 That's 2 million lira, isn't it?
01:17:07 We cannot take this from you.
01:17:09 Why not?
01:17:11 You are such a good man,
01:17:17 We do not want this.
01:17:19 What do you mean,
01:17:21 We want it,
01:17:24 We take Swiss francs,
01:17:27 we take Japanese yens...
01:17:28 but with your economy
01:17:49 To repeat... at noon,
01:17:54 You will bring
01:17:56 We will bring bodies.
01:17:58 We will also bring
01:18:10 Do you realize I've gone
01:18:13 I'm gonna hit the sack
01:18:16 - I envy you.
01:18:17 In the winter.
01:18:59 Your crepes suzette.
01:19:09 Good morning.
01:19:18 I hope you're not angry with me.
01:19:20 Angry with you?
01:19:22 I ordered some champagne
01:19:25 Why not?
01:19:26 I'm sorry I suddenly
01:19:28 It was a minor crisis.
01:19:29 As long as you're not too late.
01:19:31 Yes, I had to straighten
01:19:33 The curve in the road
01:19:36 You don't happen to have
01:19:37 - What?
01:19:40 I've been thinking about
01:19:44 Where's it going to be?
01:19:46 First Presbyterian Church. Why?
01:19:47 Because I want to send a wreath.
01:19:49 A wreath?
01:19:51 With some ribbons and something
01:19:54 Like what?
01:19:56 I thought you might
01:19:57 - No.
01:19:59 No wreath.
01:20:01 How about a simple,
01:20:04 Nobody would ever know.
01:20:05 The family has
01:20:08 Why don't you just give
01:20:10 to your favorite charity?
01:20:12 Shall I serve
01:20:14 Not now.
01:20:15 If we don't hurry,
01:20:17 - What? Miss what?
01:20:20 I don't know why I'm
01:20:22 I'll just have to
01:20:23 What was that with the sunrise?
01:20:25 Over Mount Vesuvius
01:20:28 You mean, you and me...
01:20:30 Wasn't that the whole idea?
01:20:32 Fat chance!
01:20:33 I'm sorry.
01:20:35 It's nothing personal,
01:20:43 Could you help me
01:20:46 Certainly.
00:00:03 I'm sure I could find us
00:00:05 But why bother?
00:00:08 I don't want you to think
00:00:11 I'm considered
00:00:13 You know, tuned in.
00:00:15 Like when I'm on business
00:00:17 I always have lunch
00:00:22 Just because I don't have
00:00:24 that doesn't mean that...
00:00:26 Did you ever hear
00:00:28 I've seen it twice,
00:00:33 Yeah, the permissive society...
00:00:34 age of Aquarius,
00:00:36 I'm into all of that.
00:00:38 Take the secretaries
00:00:40 always wearing
00:00:42 There's nothing
00:00:44 just as long as they're worn
00:00:48 Please keep in mind
00:00:51 and this is
00:00:52 and they may think
00:01:02 Can you hear me?
00:01:20 Oh, my God.
00:03:01 Are you all right?
00:03:03 I'm fantastic.
00:03:05 I'll give you one minute
00:03:07 Then we're gonna swim back.
00:03:09 What's the rush?
00:03:11 No rush. Just a little cold
00:03:14 Nice and warm here,
00:03:17 with your eyes closed.
00:03:19 Yeah? Are your eyes closed?
00:03:21 Why?
00:03:22 Nothing. Just asking.
00:03:43 Here we are...
00:03:45 basking like two baby seals.
00:03:55 Wonder what they talked
00:03:58 I'm sure they didn't
00:04:01 They would just listen.
00:04:03 To the wind and the waves...
00:04:05 and the beat, beat, beat
00:04:08 Why not?
00:04:10 When you're in love,
00:04:13 A look, a touch, a sigh...
00:04:19 That's not bad.
00:04:23 Every time I come home
00:04:25 she always wants to know
00:04:30 Do you and Bertram...
00:04:35 Do you communicate much?
00:04:36 We haven't talked
00:04:38 Beautiful.
00:04:42 The fact of the matter is...
00:04:43 we haven't seen each other
00:04:46 The bastard walked out on me...
00:04:48 stole my telly,
00:04:50 and my hairdryer.
00:04:52 There's an apostle for you.
00:04:54 Moved in with some
00:04:58 When I found out,
00:05:00 I tried to commit suicide?
00:05:02 - No.
00:05:04 I took my week's salary...
00:05:06 bought myself a suitcase
00:05:08 and a dozen bottles
00:05:10 and tried to
00:05:12 Took them hours
00:05:14 Was it worth it
00:05:16 It was stupid,
00:05:20 Good.
00:05:21 No more fish and chips.
00:05:27 I guess there is something...
00:05:29 to what it says
00:05:31 What does it say?
00:05:33 It says,
00:05:36 "It's an emotion."
00:05:38 It's certainly been
00:05:49 I'm afraid we have
00:06:12 Please. Where's
00:06:26 Here.
00:06:27 Maybe you can use these.
00:07:13 That was quite
00:07:16 Thank you.
00:07:18 You're entirely welcome.
00:07:57 What's up?
00:07:58 It's an emergency.
00:08:00 I hope it's not a heart attack.
00:08:02 That old crock,
00:08:03 No, it's not the baron.
00:08:32 Good night, Willie.
00:08:36 Good night, Kate.
00:09:20 Good morning, sir.
00:09:22 What?
00:09:23 Because they told me,
00:09:24 you asked for
00:09:26 Oh, that.
00:09:28 Damn bells. You talk
00:09:30 There are 68 churches in Ischia.
00:09:34 How's that nurse?
00:09:35 Yes. Just a slipped disk.
00:09:37 The three of them,
00:09:39 The word is leapfrog.
00:09:41 I would rather not know.
00:09:43 I have come to give
00:09:45 - How we doing?
00:09:47 I have met with
00:09:49 I gave them German marks.
00:09:50 The bodies are back
00:09:52 Good.
00:09:53 The doctor from Capri
00:09:54 I have the health
00:09:56 What about the coffins?
00:09:57 They arrived this morning,
00:09:59 Three?
00:10:01 The two from Bologna
00:10:03 that I ordered
00:10:06 There is no refund,
00:10:08 No big deal.
00:10:11 About my nephew.
00:10:12 He got to Naples,
00:10:13 let him into
00:10:15 even though
00:10:16 and he got
00:10:18 Then we're all set.
00:10:19 Yes and no,
00:10:22 he gets tickets
00:10:24 and while he was
00:10:26 he got to the file...
00:10:27 and he removed ten
00:10:30 and now he's in jail.
00:10:31 What about the export license?
00:10:32 They're holding that
00:10:34 But not to worry.
00:10:35 When the court opens
00:10:37 I have a cousin
00:10:39 I will get to him straightaway.
00:10:41 He is the worst lawyer
00:10:43 but fortunately,
00:10:44 they have the same mistress.
00:10:46 Is that what you call
00:10:50 What about Sacco and Vanzetti?
00:12:11 When are you people
00:12:13 how to make
00:12:14 You know what I had
00:12:16 Hot Pepsi-Cola.
00:12:18 - What's that?
00:12:20 They washed up on the beach.
00:12:22 My shorts? What makes you think
00:12:24 Maybe I am wrong.
00:12:26 Maybe they belong
00:12:28 Just put them down, will you?
00:12:31 About those photographs
00:12:33 your father and his friend.
00:12:35 I have searched and searched
00:12:38 - And?
00:12:41 Of all places,
00:12:48 Is this the complete set?
00:12:50 Absolutely.
00:12:53 no negatives and just one print.
00:12:55 Fair enough. What was our deal?
00:12:58 No, please...
00:12:59 You want Swiss francs
00:13:00 I told you, it's not
00:13:03 I don't need money.
00:13:08 A visa.
00:13:10 A visa?
00:13:12 Yes. I want to go
00:13:14 and you can help me.
00:13:15 How?
00:13:17 You know all the big shots...
00:13:19 senators,
00:13:20 Dr. Kissinger.
00:13:23 Not a chance.
00:13:24 Not once you've been
00:13:26 A criminal?
00:13:28 I'm a patriot.
00:13:29 You know why they deported me?
00:13:32 There were
00:13:34 demonstrating
00:13:36 calling our President
00:13:39 and burning the American flag...
00:13:42 on July 4th, with police
00:13:46 So I got pissed off...
00:13:49 and pulled my gun
00:13:52 and what do you think happened?
00:13:55 The cops arrested me.
00:14:00 Give me all the details,
00:14:03 This can't wait.
00:14:05 You know that maid Anna...
00:14:09 - What about her?
00:14:12 Congratulations.
00:14:13 God forbid.
00:14:15 If there is one thing worse
00:14:17 it's a Sicilian woman
00:14:21 I must get out of here fast.
00:14:24 I sympathize with you,
00:14:27 but I can't make you
00:14:30 I am counting on you.
00:14:35 Because, you see...
00:14:37 I have other photographs...
00:14:40 taken this morning.
00:14:43 Same rock, same sunrise...
00:14:47 different bodies.
00:14:49 So you better try very hard.
00:14:57 Wait a minute.
00:15:01 Where are those pictures?
00:15:03 They are not in my mattress.
00:15:04 You miserable little crook, I'll
00:15:10 What a day.
00:15:11 And how about all those bells?
00:15:14 Smashing is right.
00:15:16 If you need me, just ring.
00:15:20 Is it all right
00:15:22 Yeah, by all means.
00:15:26 Don't let me interrupt. Go ahead
00:15:28 Isn't the coffee here fabulous?
00:15:36 What happened?
00:15:39 What's the matter?
00:15:42 Guess what.
00:15:43 I weighed myself
00:15:44 but I didn't believe it,
00:15:46 - I've lost three pounds.
00:15:48 After that enormous meal
00:15:50 and strawberries
00:15:52 and bacon and eggs
00:15:55 Wait till I see Dr. Shaftsbury.
00:15:56 They should defrock him
00:15:58 or whatever they do.
00:15:59 - Who's Dr. Shaftsbury?
00:16:01 Him, yeah.
00:16:02 He kept telling me I was unhappy
00:16:05 Rubbish! Obviously
00:16:07 because I was unhappy.
00:16:08 Yes, I do.
00:16:10 How long will it take you?
00:16:11 Because I can be ready
00:16:12 Why?
00:16:13 You know those carts
00:16:15 with the feathers
00:16:17 I thought maybe we could
00:16:18 and stop for
00:16:22 I'm starved again.
00:16:23 I'd like to,
00:16:25 I have to take care of
00:16:27 - It's our last day.
00:16:30 Same program?
00:16:32 Dinner downstairs
00:16:35 Last night,
00:16:37 I thought maybe tonight
00:16:39 an our thing.
00:16:41 Surprise me.
00:18:35 You can do my room now.
00:25:03 Here you are.
00:25:04 You call this
00:25:06 If it is about the bed
00:25:08 Who cares about the bed?
00:25:10 It's about the valet
00:25:11 You know about it?
00:25:13 I know he's
00:25:14 I ought to kill
00:25:16 - It has all been taken care of.
00:25:18 - The dirty little fink is dead.
00:25:21 Murdered.
00:25:22 with three bullets
00:25:24 Miss Piggott's room?
00:25:26 She had nothing to do with it.
00:25:28 She killed him,
00:25:30 That is why your bed
00:25:32 Terrible.
00:25:33 It's a tragedy.
00:25:34 If you lose a guest,
00:25:36 But to lose a valet and a maid
00:25:39 Listen, that character Bruno,
00:25:42 Perfectly innocent, mind you...
00:25:44 but if they fell
00:25:46 Don't worry. They fell
00:25:49 I'm sorry. I had to look
00:25:52 but I had to make sure
00:25:56 Thanks.
00:25:57 There is just one thing
00:26:00 The black socks...
00:26:03 Is it because
00:26:20 - What's this?
00:26:23 We are moving them in here
00:26:25 - What precaution?
00:26:28 and we do not
00:26:29 They will start asking
00:26:32 And who knows
00:26:34 What would I do without you?
00:26:36 I have often wondered
00:28:14 I'm sorry,
00:28:17 Moved? Why?
00:28:19 I just follow orders.
00:28:23 But I was perfectly happy...
00:28:26 121-122?
00:28:27 Mr. Armbruster's suite.
00:28:36 I'm sorry
00:28:39 Don't be.
00:29:28 It's me... Pamela.
00:29:29 Hi!
00:29:34 I'm in the tub.
00:29:39 I must say,
00:29:43 I do?
00:29:45 Aren't you taking
00:29:48 Just what made you think
00:29:50 the slightest interest
00:29:53 Did you say something?
00:29:56 Not that I expected
00:29:58 After all, you're American.
00:29:59 You're accustomed to having
00:30:02 You see something you want,
00:30:06 Come again?
00:30:07 London Bridge, for instance.
00:30:09 You simply took it apart
00:30:12 and shipped it off
00:30:15 Or the Queen Mary,
00:30:18 sitting there off
00:30:20 reduced to
00:30:23 What the hell
00:30:24 Such conceit, such arrogance.
00:30:28 You act as though
00:30:30 Playing golf on the moon.
00:30:34 Me, I play golf
00:30:36 Twelve handicap.
00:30:37 And then you wonder
00:30:40 Because you're like
00:30:42 no manners,
00:30:46 You don't just pick up
00:30:49 "Move that bird
00:30:52 If I'm to have
00:30:54 I'd like to know it first...
00:30:55 and not hear about it
00:31:01 Oh, my god. The bags.
00:31:03 Wait a minute!
00:31:04 A girl likes to be asked.
00:31:05 She should be given
00:31:07 Miss Piggott...
00:31:08 She wants to be talked into it.
00:31:10 What we have here is
00:31:19 It's not that I'm
00:31:22 I don't mind being treated
00:31:25 but it's like any other game.
00:31:27 You have to play
00:31:29 or it takes
00:31:31 Hang on a minute
00:31:45 Hello? Hello?
00:31:48 Baltimore?
00:31:49 Yes, this is
00:31:52 Could you speak up
00:31:55 I'm sorry. Wendell can't
00:31:57 He's in the bathroom.
00:31:59 Can I help you?
00:32:01 This is Miss Piggott.
00:32:03 Am I the what?
00:32:05 The interpreter?
00:32:08 Whatever gave you that idea?
00:32:11 Hello? Hello?
00:32:44 - This...
00:32:49 Whatever you may think
00:32:52 I do not consider you
00:32:54 - I do not take you for granted...
00:32:56 About your things being here...
00:32:57 there was no time
00:32:59 You were out of the hotel,
00:33:01 it seemed the most
00:33:02 - I understand.
00:33:05 You were moved
00:33:06 for your own protection,
00:33:09 We do have to be very careful.
00:33:10 I said surprise me,
00:33:14 You're taller than I thought.
00:33:21 What... The bed.
00:33:24 Have you noticed
00:33:26 I'll do it later.
00:33:27 That's because
00:33:28 It seems that she was pregnant
00:33:31 The things that go on
00:33:35 She wanted to get married,
00:33:36 He wanted to go back
00:33:38 but there was a problem
00:33:40 So he wanted me to help him,
00:33:43 Is this going to be
00:33:45 Anyway, the maid...
00:33:48 she got a gun, and she
00:33:51 Three bullets right
00:33:53 And that's why your bags...
00:33:59 All clear. The body
00:34:01 The police have left the hotel.
00:34:03 So we can now take
00:34:05 back to her room.
00:34:08 I'll take care of that.
00:34:18 As I was trying to tell you...
00:34:21 The murder... She shot him
00:34:23 We had to move you
00:34:25 before the police got there.
00:34:27 Then this was not
00:34:32 Not really.
00:34:33 As a matter of fact,
00:34:36 How stupid.
00:34:38 No, it wasn't.
00:34:40 once they start
00:34:42 Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
00:34:44 It's just one of those things.
00:34:47 Fortunately,
00:34:52 These things happen.
00:34:55 I remember I was invited...
00:34:57 to a New Year's Eve party
00:35:00 3 East 72nd Street.
00:35:03 It wasn't until
00:35:04 I found out I was
00:35:06 It was 3 West 72nd Street.
00:35:09 Don't you think that's funny?
00:35:20 Put it through. Baltimore.
00:35:22 They called you before.
00:35:27 Hello.
00:35:28 Hello, Emily. How are you?
00:35:32 Is something wrong?
00:35:34 What was that?
00:35:36 Wait a minute.
00:35:38 I told you before,
00:35:40 Who says she isn't?
00:35:43 She did?
00:35:45 I can explain that.
00:35:51 She's English,
00:35:54 She can't get a labor permit...
00:35:56 and naturally,
00:35:58 What do you mean,
00:36:01 I don't mind you getting
00:36:04 but isn't this ridiculous?
00:36:05 Do you think that I,
00:36:07 What music?
00:36:09 OK, all right!
00:36:11 Go ahead! Have it your way!
00:36:12 I've got a gypsy band
00:36:14 incense is burning,
00:36:16 Miss Piggott and I
00:36:20 Is that any better?
00:36:26 Just to put
00:36:29 you needn't be worried
00:36:31 because if you saw me,
00:36:33 and I'm not
00:36:39 All right, Emily,
00:36:42 Let's just forget
00:36:45 Yes, I should be out
00:36:47 Everything's all wrapped up.
00:36:49 One small snag in Naples...
00:36:52 Blodgett? Jo Jo Blodgett?
00:36:55 Yes, I know he's with
00:36:58 A friggin' bore.
00:36:59 He's stationed in Paris?
00:37:02 There is no reason to contact...
00:37:04 all right, if worse
00:37:07 Yeah, I'll tell her.
00:37:09 Kiss-kiss.
00:37:14 Mrs. Armbruster said
00:37:16 No need.
00:37:18 Personally, I thought
00:37:19 I was just telling the truth.
00:37:21 Come on. Stop
00:37:23 I'm sure there's
00:37:24 who'd find you very attractive.
00:37:26 Oh, yes.
00:37:29 and some sex-starved
00:37:32 and the local coroner, who took
00:37:34 and then pinched my behind.
00:37:38 If it's of
00:37:40 you know who finds you
00:37:44 I find you attractive.
00:37:46 Don't bother. I'll survive.
00:37:47 This isn't the first time
00:37:59 Excuse me.
00:38:00 Would you consider it
00:38:02 if I asked you
00:38:05 - Yes, I would.
00:38:08 I really don't care anymore.
00:38:09 It's not the weight,
00:38:22 Why don't you
00:38:24 to your favorite charity?
00:39:07 Are you guys sure
00:39:10 Reasonably sure, sir.
00:39:11 Because I don't want
00:39:14 That would be bigger, sir.
00:39:16 Maybe it's one
00:39:19 No, sir. Greece is
00:39:22 Not as long as I'm
00:40:03 Go away! Go away!
00:40:06 What the hell is
00:40:08 Ischia, but you cannot land.
00:40:12 What do you mean, we can't land?
00:40:14 It is lunchtime.
00:40:17 My good man, do you know
00:40:20 I do not talk to anybody.
00:40:22 Lunchtime!
00:40:24 Let me make one thing
00:40:26 I am Joseph J. Blodgett...
00:40:29 United States Government,
00:40:31 and I'm here
00:40:33 concerning an American citizen.
00:40:36 OK, boys, stand by.
00:40:39 And you better start clearing
00:40:41 so we have room
00:40:43 Roger.
00:40:45 Tell me, how far
00:40:50 Grand Hotel Excelsior,
00:40:52 OK, OK. What do we do
00:40:56 No transportation.
00:41:00 What the hell is going on
00:41:04 This wouldn't have happened
00:41:07 You remember Mussolini?
00:41:17 Christ.
00:41:19 What's the matter?
00:41:21 Just thinking about
00:41:22 I hate the whole idea.
00:41:24 - Thank you.
00:41:26 there's going to be
00:41:28 and probably a proxy fight...
00:41:30 and I'll have to spend
00:41:32 because they're investigating
00:41:35 And there's that strike...
00:41:36 at our electronics plant
00:41:38 And we'll probably
00:41:40 250,000 square feet
00:41:43 because they said...
00:41:45 there's too much lead
00:41:47 Goddamn Ralph Nader.
00:41:49 Who asked him?
00:41:53 Guess we all have our problems.
00:41:55 I have to pick up my cat
00:41:58 Hope the garage will have
00:42:02 And I really should
00:42:06 Can I have your croissant?
00:42:08 Of course. You can have
00:42:14 About your flat in London...
00:42:16 Won't you need a new
00:42:18 all that stuff that
00:42:22 Don't bother.
00:42:24 and I really
00:42:26 It's always the same...
00:42:27 northern Ireland
00:42:29 and the Common Market.
00:42:36 Pamela... my father
00:42:39 Now, during all those years,
00:42:46 He must have helped her out
00:42:50 Financially.
00:42:53 You want to know whether
00:42:57 After all, a man likes
00:43:00 Maybe an occasional present?
00:43:02 Every Christmas,
00:43:04 a dozen long-stemmed roses
00:43:07 Your mother was well-to-do?
00:43:09 No. She was making
00:43:14 On £15 a week,
00:43:17 She wasn't living there.
00:43:19 as a manicurist.
00:43:26 Did my father know that?
00:43:27 She didn't want him to know.
00:43:30 Why not?
00:43:32 I told you the first day.
00:43:34 She loved him.
00:43:47 That'll be Carlucci.
00:43:49 "I have good news.
00:43:50 "The arrangements,
00:43:58 I guess it's checking-out time.
00:44:04 Yes.
00:44:05 Did Miss Piggott
00:44:09 No, that's not why I called.
00:44:10 I called to tell you
00:44:13 she has been arrested
00:44:15 in a rowboat trying
00:44:18 And the bodies,
00:44:20 and all ready for shipment.
00:44:22 Let me see...
00:44:24 The judge in Naples,
00:44:27 Wait a minute. What judge?
00:44:29 I don't know
00:44:31 Yes, you do.
00:44:34 The one with the same mistress
00:44:37 who was going to get
00:44:39 She was going to help him,
00:44:42 and the judge, he always had
00:44:44 What are you trying to tell me?
00:44:48 We have no export license,
00:44:52 More or less.
00:44:54 Now they will have to
00:44:56 That may take a day or two.
00:44:58 We sure are running
00:45:01 It's not your fault.
00:45:05 Don't worry about it.
00:45:08 Problems?
00:45:10 We may be stuck here
00:45:13 That's terrible.
00:45:14 Yeah.
00:45:16 What about the funeral?
00:45:17 Oh, boy!
00:45:20 the closed-circuit TV,
00:45:23 I'll just have to call
00:45:25 If it has to be postponed,
00:45:28 - I'm so sorry.
00:45:30 You've certainly done
00:45:32 How about you and your plans?
00:45:36 We're not that busy
00:45:39 I'm sure mother won't mind.
00:45:42 to get back to the rain
00:45:47 I guess dad
00:45:49 They deserve another
00:45:52 don't you think?
00:46:13 Thank you.
00:46:14 My pleasure!
00:46:32 What room is he in?
00:46:33 Just a moment.
00:46:37 Here. I'll talk to him.
00:46:41 Wendell, boy?
00:46:42 Jo Jo Blodgett,
00:46:45 How are you, kid?
00:46:48 told me about
00:46:49 Damn it. I told her
00:46:52 I'm sorry, Jo Jo.
00:46:54 more important things
00:46:56 Sure do.
00:46:58 the first plane to Rome
00:46:59 Borrowed a helicopter
00:47:01 You're on Ischia?
00:47:05 Better than that, kiddo.
00:47:08 You're in the lobby!
00:47:12 That's great.
00:47:13 That's what I
00:47:15 Why don't you
00:47:17 and we'll have a drink
00:47:19 What drink? What later?
00:47:21 I got to get
00:47:23 I'm taking Julie
00:47:26 to dinner at Maxim's.
00:47:29 We haven't got a minute to lose.
00:47:31 What's that room number?
00:48:13 What are we going
00:48:16 What are we going
00:48:23 I am Carlo Carlucci,
00:48:26 Such a pleasure
00:48:28 Thank you.
00:48:29 It may interest you to know
00:48:31 another famous American diplomat
00:48:33 Mr. Benjamin Franklin.
00:48:34 Franklin? Yes, Ben Franklin.
00:48:37 A good man for his time.
00:48:38 Of course,
00:48:40 he could pass
00:48:41 Would you like to see his room?
00:48:43 It is in the old part
00:48:45 Not now!
00:48:46 Excuse me. I would like
00:48:49 straight from the horse's mouth.
00:48:51 Do you think there will be
00:48:54 We don't give out
00:48:57 I have been offered a job...
00:48:59 with a chain of American
00:49:02 There are a couple of openings,
00:49:09 Don't quote me on this,
00:49:11 escalating
00:49:13 and the military posture
00:49:15 and the first-strike capability
00:49:18 the whole place is a powder keg.
00:49:20 Could blow up
00:49:22 My advice is forget Damascus.
00:49:24 Thank you. In that case,
00:49:28 - What's that?
00:49:32 Take the one in Damascus.
00:49:36 - One more question.
00:49:43 Come in.
00:49:46 Jo Jo Blodgett,
00:49:49 Hi there.
00:49:53 How are you? Been a long time.
00:49:55 I haven't been back
00:49:58 That's it.
00:50:00 Party at the country club.
00:50:03 I'm sorry about
00:50:08 Look, it's 2:00
00:50:12 At 11:00 tomorrow morning...
00:50:14 you have a funeral
00:50:16 and you're sitting here
00:50:21 This is Miss Tromboncino.
00:50:30 Could you possibly
00:50:35 She doesn't speak any English.
00:50:41 I get that all over the world.
00:50:43 Mind you, I don't object...
00:50:44 to foreigners speaking
00:50:46 I just wish they'd all speak
00:50:53 - Odd.
00:50:56 If I didn't know
00:50:59 and if I didn't know
00:51:02 and if that dame
00:51:06 - I would sort of suspect...
00:51:08 Mr. Blodgett, please.
00:51:12 She was brought up
00:51:20 I was only kidding.
00:51:22 It is forgotten.
00:51:40 How many more fingers
00:51:41 Relax, will you?
00:51:43 Relax nothing.
00:51:46 I've got that helicopter
00:51:48 - Can I use your can?
00:51:50 To wash my hands.
00:51:51 I mean, what's
00:51:53 To pick up the old boy.
00:51:55 Then I'm going to put you
00:52:00 - Tonight?
00:52:02 That's what you think.
00:52:03 This is Italy.
00:52:05 We're still hassling over
00:52:07 Emily told me all about that.
00:52:08 It looks like we can't get
00:52:10 I was about to phone home, tell
00:52:12 Postpone nothing.
00:52:15 We don't need an export license.
00:52:17 We're gonna bypass
00:52:19 Bypass?
00:52:21 No sweat. We're
00:52:23 commercial attaché
00:52:26 And that entitles him
00:52:28 and immunities of a diplomat.
00:52:30 Wait a minute.
00:52:32 - Why not?
00:52:34 Just proves that we don't
00:52:37 for reasons of race, creed,
00:52:41 You mean we handle him
00:52:45 You bet. He goes
00:52:48 sealed coffin, no inspection,
00:52:52 - That's kind of cute.
00:52:54 Someday I'll tell you
00:52:59 First on the agenda...
00:53:02 First, you wanted to go
00:53:03 Can. That's right.
00:53:12 I'm sorry.
00:53:17 Look at the wretched job
00:53:35 Tell me something.
00:53:36 Bruno's body.
00:53:38 It is lying in the morgue,
00:53:40 - Interesting.
00:53:42 We may have a use
00:53:44 That is very generous of you.
00:53:46 Your family plot,
00:53:49 You're not suggesting
00:53:51 The Carluccis, they would
00:53:53 I wasn't thinking of Bruno.
00:53:56 No?
00:53:57 You were thinking
00:54:00 Maybe... two somebody elses?
00:54:09 My ancestors,
00:54:12 We're not there yet.
00:54:14 And we'll need
00:54:16 Transportation?
00:54:18 I will call the Trotta brothers.
00:54:22 You know you got...
00:54:23 a plate of scrambled eggs
00:54:25 - I do?
00:54:28 Now you understand why
00:54:31 OK, kid, here is the game plan.
00:54:37 You get dressed and packed.
00:54:40 Sure thing. As soon
00:54:43 And I want some officials
00:54:45 I want the mayor
00:54:48 Of course.
00:54:49 - That will be 4:00.
00:54:51 That's when they open
00:54:54 That goddamn lunchtime again.
00:54:56 We pour in millions
00:55:00 just so they can sit
00:55:09 What the hell is there to do
00:55:12 Tell him about the mud baths.
00:55:14 Mud baths?
00:55:16 World-famous.
00:55:18 For rheumatism, arthritis,
00:55:20 urinary complaints,
00:55:25 Is that so?
00:55:28 Come to think of it, I do have
00:55:31 Maybe I'll give that
00:55:32 By all means.
00:55:34 It is downstairs.
00:55:36 Be right back.
00:55:39 Where do we meet?
00:55:41 Let me put it all together,
00:55:45 Right-o.
00:55:49 That mud business...
00:55:53 I assure you, after one bath...
00:55:55 you will have the acidity
00:56:08 Thank you.
00:56:13 It was your idea.
00:56:19 What's the name
00:56:21 Sergio... something. Why?
00:56:23 We might as well go all the way.
00:56:25 I'm sure he'd enjoy it more...
00:56:27 than that glee club
00:56:29 the son of a bitch.
00:57:15 The marble, do you
00:57:19 Pink.
00:57:22 Very good. And the inscription?
00:57:26 I guess..."Willie and Kate."
00:57:30 "Willie and Kate."
00:57:34 We don't want any weeping angels
00:57:38 Or do we?
00:57:40 How about
00:57:43 I'll go for that.
00:57:47 You make me very happy.
00:57:50 And there will be
00:57:54 After all, we are now
00:58:01 Hold it, boys.
00:58:02 My father goes
00:58:05 Very important.
00:58:25 Damn!
00:58:38 What the hell took you so long?
00:58:40 Signore, in Italy,
00:58:43 people cross themselves.
00:58:45 They kneel down sometimes
00:58:47 You just cannot...
00:58:48 All right, all right.
00:58:50 Over here, boys!
00:59:04 Poor Bruno.
00:59:06 If he knew what was
00:59:07 What do you mean, "poor Bruno"?
00:59:09 This is what he always wanted...
00:59:15 Come on, boys.
00:59:18 Come on. It's getting late.
00:59:21 Will the witnesses
00:59:31 Raise your right hand
00:59:35 I, Wendell Armbruster Sr.,
00:59:40 that I will uphold
00:59:43 the Constitution
00:59:45 against all enemies
00:59:48 and that I will perform
00:59:53 to the best of my ability,
01:00:00 Congratulations, sir.
01:00:26 And salute!
01:00:32 Ready, hup!
01:00:36 Thank you, gentlemen.
01:00:39 All right, load her up.
01:00:42 Here. You'll need this.
01:00:43 It's your father's
01:00:46 You don't miss a trick, do you?
01:00:47 The C.I.A. Ran it off
01:00:49 The C.I.A.?
01:00:50 Never heard of them.
01:01:05 Good-bye, Pamela Piggott.
01:01:09 Have a good flight.
01:01:11 Suppose I do?
01:01:13 is I'll wind up
01:01:16 The suite, it will be ready.
01:01:19 July 15th to August 15th.
01:01:31 If we should run into
01:01:34 in the lobby
01:01:36 I promise you I'll be so thin.
01:01:38 You lose one pound,
01:01:43 and it's all over between us.
