From Ear to Ear (1970) - full transcript
Put it in the fridge
- But she could open it
Put it over there
Is there any smoked beef?
I ate that this afternoon,
I was hungry
There's some salad after the soup
I bought a kilo of apples,
you like them don't you?
And I paid with my own money.
Who'll bring Lucia some soup?
Off you go.
Do you have the grocery list?
It's getting more expensive every time
You are making a mess
Come on, eat.
If you didn't need all that medicine,
we could buy more steaks
But you don't care.
Soup and lobster is all the same to you
What did you just hide?
Nothing, just sugar
Go to sleep.
Don't you have any money?
Only 10 Francs left
This can't go on
I'll seduce my boss
This'll keep you company
Coffee?
Giulia, 2 coffees, please
What did the lawyer say?
- He's pessimistic
Isn't there anything we can do
while Lucia is still underage?
No, you'll have to go to court
to have her declared insane
But that's expensive.
I'm afraid so
Your husband's will complicates things
Beatrix, why are you so desperate
to keep this villa?
It's very expensive
Sell it before it gets out of hand
You know I can help you
Abandon it?
After all the sacrifices I've made?
I won't
There'd be no problems
without Lucia
What are you saying?
- I mean if she was normal
God only knows what I've
done for that child
I'll do anything for her,
I have to win the trial
Absolutely.
Do we bring her downstairs?
Outside, so she can freshen up
Come on
Over there so they can't see her
Enjoy and take some deep breaths,
it's free
Hello Snow white, smile
- Recognise me?
What time is it?
20 to
- We're leaving
Come on, it's late
What's your niece suffering from anyway?
I've told you twenty times already.
A childhood trauma made her this way
Long ago?
Yes, she was ten
Giulia and I were still in school
Will she recover?
- Who knows
We've tried everything and
keep buying expensive medicine
The doctor says a shock could cure her
I'll give her a shock
She'll be in heat fast enough
You're disgusting,
we're leaving
You're lucky, we're working to support
you and you're having fun
Aren't you having fun?
Too bad.
Here look, a man and a woman
Look, a handsome nigger
and a blonde
And we're searching for
an even prettier one
Madame butterfly with two Chinese fellows
Not bad, those two girls.
Do you live here?
Are you on holiday?
You too?
No I work here but only
in the afternoon
I'm off duty in the mornings
Are you a student?
- Yes, psychology
I'm Andre.
- Giulia, pleased to meet you
Well now that we are neighbours,
shall we meet sometime?
Of course, why don't you come
visit me in my room
There's a door in the fence,
call if it's locked
And what if it's locked?
- Well you go to my room
I'll show you
Great albums.
You got this one too?
It's rare
It's a bit heavy
Whiskey or Martini?
At 10am?
A bit early.
What are we going to do?
Let play .
Stop sulking
Are you acting like that little boy?
You should have seen him
looking at my legs
He'll be thinking of them all night
And you should not think
about that nigger and Butterfly
Let's get some rest
She keeps getting heavier
- Has she eaten?
No, but I left you something in the oven
It's late I'm going to miss my train
See you tonight
Giulia is off to fuck strangers
so we can feed you
Giulia, don't forget to visit Didier
for the stuff
May I?
Feet first, then your food
Come on eat
Did he give it to you?
- Much to his annoyance
The swine, can you imagine? We've been
his customers for almost ten years now
I put some green stuff in it
280 recipes for lovemaking
What if your mother sees us?
Are you mad?
- Whiskey is too expensive for her
What's on TV?
We shall have to ask
the court for a copy
Wait.
He's just terrible
Not in front of the children.
Disgusting, these old people
Excuse me, what are you doing here?
I wanted to talk to you
About what?
I wanted to ask you a favour
- What, then?
I'll escort you to your car
Giulia's birthday is Saturday
- Yes, I know
We want to have a party,
but not for grown-ups
My aunt would ruin everything
with her sad face
It would be very sweet of you
to go on a date with her
Why not?
Listen, if you'd really want to
surprise my aunt... visit for two days
A weekend
- Next Saturday
Sounds do-able.
I hope I can convince her
I bet you can
You are a sweetheart
Done deal, I've spoken to grandpa
- And?
He'll take your mother for two days
We'll be completely free
We should organise the party
Who should we invite besides Bruno?
Andre who I've met this morning
He lives next door
How is he?
- Not bad
I've had him come up
He's not very bright
But he won't have to be
That tickles
No, no not tonight
Are you unwell?
I'm just not feeling like it
Already working?
Yes, but thanks for the interruption
I was just thinking of you
- Same here.
What were you thinking?
It's my birthday Saturday and
I wanted to invite you
I'll have to be properly dressed
- No, on the contrary
I should be undressed?
No that's not necessary,
there will be no adults
How many will there be?
I don't know yet,
we are with four now.
You, me, my cousin Elisa
and her boyfriend
Ah the gentleman with the big car?
- A gentleman?
Yeah, I saw them kissing last night
Sorry if I have upset you,
I was in the garden when I saw them
They weren't very discrete
Let's talk about something else
What should I bring to the party?
Nothing, we've got everything
But you can bring two or three friends
We'll be alone
my mother'll be gone
Is she the woman in black who
leaves early in the morning?
Not to be rude,
but why does she look so sad?
Did something bad happen
to your father recently?
I trust you, what I'm about to
tell you should stay between us
I promise
Father's been dead for eleven years.
Cancer.
My mother was expecting a baby
The child died when it was two months old
Mother was using medicine
and the baby was deformed
It died two days later
Mother has been very sad since
that day.
It has depressed my mother terribly.
Because of her husband, the child,
and because she's sterile
I'm sorry I asked
- It doesn't matter
Think of the party
I have to go, Elisa is coming
Are you insane? What's wrong with you?
- Isn't Bruno enough?
Now you want Borgo too?
- Borgo, me?
Yes, you were seen
- Who?
You were seen kissing him
And that wasn't probably all
Oh yesterday, well, to be honest,
it was a good kiss
I'll tell mother,
it's disgusting
Are you feeling sorry for your mother
or are you jealous?
Leave me alone
Look straight ahead,
it's making me nervous
First you need to tell me
if you are still angry
I want to know one thing
- What's that?
Would she enjoy this just like we do?
She prefers to watch
Nothing more than a pathetic peeping-tom
I'll show you something
This is what I wore in St.Tropez,
Giovanni's hands were all over me
He got angry when I tried to stop him
See that, Alex?
That was wild.
We never stopped.
He is dead.
His boat has sunk.
Besides, who knows how the trial may end
It's going to cost me a lot now
that Lucia is no longer a minor
Who'll bring her food?
- Will you go, Elisa?
You'll have to be alone to be naughty
You eat too much.
What's wrong with your car?
Something happened when I drove
in the garden.
Normally its fine but the motor
just seized up
Will you be staying the night?
- You know I can't do that
Adele'll do anything,
even sue me for adultery
I need to be home early
Allow me
Do you have the time to check a car?
I don't know...
Tomorrow?
Not before 2pm
- It needs to be done well
Alright see you tomorrow
I'm gone for the weekend,
would you care to join me?
I'd love to but I'll miss Giulia's birthday
They won't miss us
And you won't miss us.
I'll bring you home in Auntie's car
after Television
No, I'll go
Such an attractive couple
They haven't in tucked Lucia yet
Go to my room, Giorgio
Did you eat?
I'll undress you
You won't be outside today,
it's too damp
You just watch the trees and
listen to the music
Louder?
Even louder?
Guess who?
How are you doing?
Why's the music so loud?
Oh that's probably Lucia's fault
It doesn't matter
Is that your sister in the chair?
Why are you interested?
She's pretty, I'd love to meet her
Are you serious?
You'd be disappointed,
she's ill and can't move
Doesn't talk, just sleeps and eats
And she takes medicine,
she costs a fortune
Elisa says she's better off dead
- Don't talk like that
Don't you love her?
It's my sister
She'll see us
- No, she's blind as a bat
It would be a shame not to
use this opportunity
I like you and I want you
But not now
On the night of my birthday
it would be a great present
Just wait, baby,
I'll give you everything on the night
- It'll be great
I'll have to wash you because
you pissed your trousers
Giulia is stupid, I'd leave
you here, dirty
Elisa is coming, I have to go
- When will I see you?
Saturday
Elisa's boyfriend Bruno will be coming this
afternoon to fix Mr Borgo's car
So you can get acquainted
He's big, but you'll like him
What are you doing?
- This kicks like a mule.
Bruno's here,
Are you coming?
In a moment
Bruno is friendly
He came over, so your mother
can have an affair
Do you like Bruno? He's a great lover
If you only knew what he does to me
Hard at work?
Connections are incorrectly set
Help me push
Oh my shoulder blade
Wait, I'll help you
You've got dirty hands
Did you invite the Mercelinos too?
Yes, but they won't come
Invite Nino and his wife then
- They won't come
Why not?
- Because of your aunt
That cow brings bad luck
She won't be there
They don't like the atmosphere.
Feels like a funeral.
Stop it. Invite them again
Why don't you do it?
Fuck them, they aren't the only ones
Besides, the smaller
the group the better
Shall we see if the car
works at a secluded place?
Why not here?
In the open air?
Seems like fun
So, nosey, did you enjoy it?
No, it did not have any effect...
See what that beast did.
I'm good to you, I keep you company..
Be sweet or else I'll put
that doll on your lap
You see this?
If you speak again I'll...
Soft skin, like velvet
Listen, we should think
of something original
Yes, but not that stuff
It's old-fashioned stuff that makes you look old
I want to have a look
Aunt Beatrix, I...
Where did you get that key?
Have you been in the basement?
It's dangerous, everything
falls down there
I've told you a hundred times.
Why did you go down there?
I wanted old clothes for the party
Old dresses, nice hats
Those must be in the chest
Listen, I forbid you to touch that chest.
Those thing belong to my poor Marcello
I need these things for the trial
Beatrix, calm down.
This is for you, for the party
Aren't you drinking?
There's no love without a moustache,
said Victor Hugo
Listen, catch that one for me,
I want to have her
Not that one, the other one
It's not funny with the nose
Like that?
Don't be so timid,
switch partners
No, are you drunk?
You are in great shape
Hey show me what you got
Show me
Get undressed too
Don't use that stuff,
I'm against it
Don't use marijuana
It's addictive and makes
you selfish
Long live alcohol.
It packs a punch and feeds
revolutionary thought
Here, drink some
No I've had enough
What did you make me drink?
Number 15
- No 6
What are you doing with my niece?
- With my sister?
I want her to have a good time too
Good job, Bruno, do it
- Looks wonderful
With a sick one.
I don't want the sick one
Is he exhausted?
It's me, Giulia.
Do you still want me?
Nothing
That's where they strung up that Negro.
The sex between his legs
stuck out intensely.
Where's his car?
- He came without it
She saw everything
- Yes, of course
Bring her upstairs
We must get rid of him using mother's car
Are you mad? They'll see us
- Where?
Put him in the chest in the basement
We'll put him in there
Find something to open it with
Don't open it.
We don't have a choice.
Will there be any papers in it?
- I'm sure of it
And the cage?
- We won't burn.
Is the car outside?
Did you see anyone?
- No, on a Sunday?
Don't be afraid, sweetheart
They'll never find him again
Nobody
- What about mother?
If she searches for clothes.
Say the chest had rotten hay
And so we burned it
And Lucia?
- Poor Lucia
I've always said she's
better off dead
Die. Die,
please.
Look sweetie, your little brother is dead.
You must never forget him
Darling, when I think...
My life begins as of now
- But she could open it
Put it over there
