Fruit of Paradise (1970) - full transcript
In the garden of a pension, Eva and her husband Josef are enjoying a siesta. Here, they meet with the lonesome, mysterious-looking Robert. During play, a key falls out of Robert's pocket. The curious Eva picks it up and sets off on an expedition. In Robert's room, she finds a briefcase soiled with mud, which Robert had forgotten by her parsley patch before, and in it, a date-stamp. Soon afterwards, she learns that another victim of an unknown murderer of women has been found, with a number and date stamped on her forehead. Eva concludes that the murderer must be Robert.
And they were both naked,
and were not ashamed.
Now the serpent was subtler
than any beast of the field.
And he asked the woman:
Is it truth that God said:
Shall ye not eat
of every tree in the garden?
And the woman said:
unto the serpent:
We eat the fruit of the trees
in The Garden of Eden.
But of the fruit of the tree in the
midst of the Garden, God said:
You shall not eat of it,
lest ye die.
And the serpent said
to the woman:
Ye shall not surely die
On the day ye eat thereof,
your eyes shall be opened,
and ye shall be as gods,
knowing both good and evil.
Tell me the truth
Who is it?
What are you eating?
Want some?
No.
This will be the one who,
should have come yesterday.
Sleep.
-I have a taste for something.
-What?
Good morning.
Is this yours?
Look.
Isn't this your briefcase?
Nice weather today. See?
The mail.
Let me see.
Not all of them.
I know.
Be good.
Here's one more.
You've got six letters.
You're winning.
Almost white...
White...
Another white one...
Not completely white...
Perfumed.
So...
-What's wrong?
-Nothing.
Do you think you'll ever
tell me the truth?
Like who this letter is from?
You're in a bad mood again,
aren't you?
Who knows what it's all about.
Punta, come here...
Jump.
Come...
I'm starting
a vegetable patch here.
I'm growing vegetables
for my husband.
But the soil is hard here.
See?
Hard soil.
And the slugs are here.
So we meet again, madam.
Yes, indeed.
I have to go now.
Goodbye.
Careful, hold me.
Sorry.
-Didn't I say that?
-How could this happen?
Next time will be better.
Here...
Careful.
That's right. You've got to
keep your balance.
-Look out.
-I don't want it anymore.
You always spoil it.
This will be better.
-Here we go.
-Not alone. No.
Yes, once more.
-I don't want to.
-Yes, you do.
I want to go home.
Don't even think about it.
Here...
-Just sit down and ride.
-Don't tickle me.
Let's go.
This time it'll be better.
What's the matter?
You won't mind if I go
out for a while?
I would.
Bye then.
Is that you, Robert?
Where are you?
I know you're here.
Bye then.
Good morning.
I've got you now.
Just you wait.
You scoundrel.
You're here at last.
Just you wait.
I'll show you.
We must take some
nice trips again.
Let me go.
Could I read with you?
-Reading is profound.
-Good morning.
You've really grown up.
Don't run away.
Wait.
Good morning.
-You know her?
-No. good morning.
You're here for
the first time, aren't you?
Yes.
Who is he?
-I don't know him.
-That's Mr. Robert.
He's been coming here for
seven years for treatment.
He's excellent company.
And he's on his own.
On top of everything
he's single.
Not many men are that
lucky at his age?
Lovely little hands.
Dear lady, allow me.
You can tell me...
How old are you?
Guess.
Well...
Fifty... two.
-Far from it. 78.
-78?
Seventy eight.
-Impossible.
-But true.
You've lived to
a ripe old age...
Where have you been wandering
so long this year?
Me?
Busy working.
Bye then.
May I swing with you?
May I also have
a little swing?
May I?
Sorry,
I didn't want to trouble you.
You come to places,
where no one would find you.
Never.
I didn't search for you.
Look.
Please.
Could I tell you something?
-You should stop while the going's good.
-That's right.
Six.
What happened?
He lost his key.
Really?
There it is.
Here.
I saw it here somewhere.
I'm always so careful.
-Do you know that?
-Yes.
All my things are in order.
Look, it was in my pocket.
Really?
What's wrong?
Everyone is waiting for you. Go.
I'm going.
Little hand... sand...
Here's something for us.
The mysterious murderer
strikes again.
Listen.
For almost a year
the public has been disturbed
by the mysterious murders
of blonde girls.
It doesn't concern you.
-Last night another blonde was found...
-Let me see too.
What impertinence.
-Last night...
-Last night...
Did you find it?
Yes, I did.
Want some?
Let's see.
Mr. Robert will read it for us.
He knows how.
Here it is.
Last night,
another blonde was found...
She was shot
in an unusual way...
Her forehead was stamped
with a red number six.
She's evidently the sixth
victim of this murderer.
The police continue
to search for him.
A remarkable detail.
The number six was deeply
etched on her forehead.
Josef.
Wake up.
Wake up, please.
Eva.
Open your eyes.
Forget about everything.
Forgive me.
I've committed a sin against you.
Forgive me.
Please.
I lied to you.
But I didn't know
what I was doing.
Forgive me.
Don't turn away from me
You're my wife.
And I'm your husband.
That's not true!
And what is true?
You're not my husband.
How so?
You have someone else?
Let go.
You're just like him.
Who?
You're all the same.
Sorry, I was just passing by. I just
happened to lean against your door.
Is that him?
Yes.
That's the murderer.
Don't pretend
to be drumming here.
Go home.
Now.
Get dressed and come out.
Come out.
Come on.
She must've talked about me.
I can see
how you look at me.
Will you admit it?
What did I do to you?
What do you think of me?
You debaucher.
Let me go.
You rat.
I heard someone banging.
It's sultry hot.
I'll show you something.
Did you see that angel?
What a heavy statue.
Things should have
their proper weight.
What a beauty.
Now it's well illuminated.
Look at those lovely legs.
I'm too scared to look.
She's finished.
Where are you going?
Let go!
Such a lovely day.
Are you mad?
There you are.
I don't understand
anything anymore.
I understand you.
Call me Robert.
I never thought
I'd be so alone here.
She should've been here
an hour ago.
I thought you'd be here alone.
Good afternoon.
What kept you so long?
In a church.
Sou you won't tell me?
Waiter.
Ice cream, please.
Here you are.
A light?
See that?
I understand you.
I've never disgraced her
like this.
-It's been a lovely day, gentleman.
-Yes.
The weather's lovely,
madam.
I've never done her any wrong.
She should forgive me,
shouldn't she?
She doesn't know
enough about it, anyway.
Don't you feel sorry for her?
We all have to die anyway.
Come on a trip with me, sir.
I need to relax.
Splendid.
Yes, great idea.
Off you go, you two.
Be careful.
Are you afraid of me?
No.
Why?
So you're not afraid of me?
You should be afraid of me.
Listen.
I tell the truth.
Doesn't matter, we're friends.
Don't you believe me, Robert?
Why not?
I know.
But friendship isn't possible
without trust.
You have to kill me, Robert.
You have to kill me.
You want me to kill you?
How do you kill someone?
You have to be brave.
Do you like stones?
I do.
I know a deserted place.
I prepared a beautiful stone
for you there.
Don't be afraid.
But you're not afraid.
You have to come tonight.
Will you come?
-Will you?
-I'll come.
Will you recognise that stone?
Yes, I will.
Couldn't you just cut it out?
No, she couldn't.
Can I talk to you, Robert?
No, you can't.
Robert has a date.
I think she was right when
she said you were a murderer.
If you want, I don't go there.
But you tell her.
Robert.
Is that you, Robert?
Yes, it's me, Robert.
Come.
Damn.
This is really lovely place...
...for our love.
And you...
How beautiful you are.
Tell me,
how did you get over there?
I hope you didn't wait long
for your Robert.
But I'm here now.
Here I am
Come.
Don't you love me anymore?
Or perhaps you're afraid
of your husband?
Let go.
To our health.
The wine is really excellent.
Do you like it?
Thank you, it's perfect.
Will you have
another drink with me?
Would you like something else?
No, thank you.
I forgot to tell you
Robert left.
At least he promised me.
Would you like to dance?
-Me?
-Yes.
With pleasure.
May I?
Excuse me, my husband
would like to dance with you.
May I?
Robert?
Are you there?
I'm tired.
Don't leave me alone.
Here I am.
Do you want to kill me?
See, I didn't forget.
You want to kill me now,
that I love you?
But I love you too.
That's why we're here.
I'll always love you, I swear.
It's the first time in my life
that I believe someone.
And you could kill me?
Is that true?
I don't have to lie to you.
No.
What is it?
I'm cold.
You're cold?
I couldn't bear that,
my darling.
This will warm you up.
You don't know
how much I love you.
How beautiful you are.
Let me see.
Look at me.
You're the only one
who came of her own free will.
That was the last time
I believed someone.
That's betrayal.
Yes, it's all a lie.
No.
It was true.
Tell me the truth!
Josef.
It's me.
Eva.
Don't turn away from me.
Don't ask to know the truth!
Even I don't want to know it!
And when Eva saw,
that the tree was good to eat,
and tree desirable
for making one wise...
She took of the fruit and ate.
And gave also/i>
to her husband and he ate.
And both their eyes.
were opened,
and they saw they were naked.
And they heard
the voice of God
walking in paradise
in the cool of the day.
And the man and the wife hid themselves
the presence of the Lord
among the fruit trees
of paradise.
and were not ashamed.
Now the serpent was subtler
than any beast of the field.
And he asked the woman:
Is it truth that God said:
Shall ye not eat
of every tree in the garden?
And the woman said:
unto the serpent:
We eat the fruit of the trees
in The Garden of Eden.
But of the fruit of the tree in the
midst of the Garden, God said:

lest ye die.
And the serpent said
to the woman:

your eyes shall be opened,
and ye shall be as gods,
knowing both good and evil.
