We Have a Pope (2011) - full transcript

WE HAVE A POPE

Just a moment!

Here's the Archbishop
of Palermo, Saverio Cincotta.

This is his third Conclave.

Cardinal Masao Takada,

archivist and librarian
of the Holy Roman Church.

We can see Sidi Kamara
followed by Koma Mbosou.

As you know, the African
continent has never--

Here's Ricardo Aguilar,

who could be
the first South American Pope.

And the cardinal from Sri Lanka,
Don Somasiry.



We'll try approaching
Cardinal Massucci for a word.

Cardinal, could we have
a statement?

Obviously they can't
answer our questions.

And now, we can see

the Syrian Patriarch of Antioch,
Simon Al Suryani,

Prefect of the Congregation
of Eastern Churches.

Here's who we're
all waiting for.

The Vatican spokesman,
Marcin Rajski,

is approaching us,
maybe to ask us--

Thank you very much.
We must ask you to leave now.

He asks us to leave,
but thanks the press.

Maybe a long shot
of the Sistine Chapel.

No, thank you.

He thanks us very much,
but our work ends here.



We can't get that shot.

Here, we know them all,
Cardinal Dean Gregori,

the favored of the Conclave.

As of this moment,
the 108 cardinal electors

will be isolated
from the rest of the world

and can have no contact
with the outside.

Gregori, what do we do?

- Has the power failed?
- What else could it be?

Please, stay calm.

- Any candles?
- They're not allowed.

- Why?
- They ruin the frescoes.

Do they know outside
that we're in darkness?

Of course they do,

and they're already fixing it.

Who's that?
What happened?

It's Cardinal Brummer.

I fell.

It's nothing.

I'm already getting up.

- Are you all right?
- Yes, thank you.

- Is everything all right?
- I said yes!

- Are you okay, Brummer?
- I didn't hurt myself.

- Your back, ankle?
- I'm not hurt at all!

Are you sure?

Please,
try not to move around.

Let's return to our seats,

pick things up.

Not me, Lord, not me.

Not me, Lord.
Don't choose me.

I'm not up to it.

Not me.

Not me, Lord, please.

No.
I said no!

Gregori.

Bikila.

Aguilar.

Gregori.

Gregori.

Gregori.

- Where does Gregori stand?
- 13.

Gregori 18, Bikila 11.

Gregori 21, Aguilar 18,
and Bikila 15.

Aguilar.

Just a moment!

Gregori.

Luci.

The smoke's black.

The Pope still
hasn't been elected.

The smoke is white.

The thousands of faithful
here in St. Peter's Square

joyfully applaud the news.

But the bells aren't ringing.

Maybe the smoke
only looked white.

I can hear my colleagues
saying the smoke is black.

The smoke, actually...

Yes, the smoke is black.

Yes, it's black,
nothing doing.

The smoke will last a while
because, as well as the ballots,

their personal notes
will be burned too.

Nothing regarding the Conclave

can filter through
to the outside.

Aguilar.

Gregori.

Luci.

Bikila.

Another black smoke signal.

The cardinals in the Conclave

still haven't managed
to elect a Pope.

A second vote will be cast
this afternoon.

We don't know if the favorites
are still Gregori,

Aguilar, and Bikila.

Do you accept your canonical
election as Supreme Pontiff?

Do you accept your canonical
election as Supreme Pontiff?

Yes.

Yes!

- Holiness.
- What are you doing?

What happens now?

You can just give a blessing,

or, as our deceased
beloved Pope did the first time,

address the faithful
with a speech.

Dear brothers and sisters...

Nuntio vobis gaudium magnum.

Habemus Papam!

Help me.

I can't do this.

I can't do this!

Holy Father.

Holy Father, you mustn't worry.

By bestowing this charge,

God also gives you
help to accomplish it

and the strength
to sustain the weight

of this great responsibility.

Would you like something hot?
Herbal tea?

You could retire
to your apartment,

and when you're ready,
I'll take you to the balcony.

The Conclave has indeed
elected the Holy Father

who, aware of this
great responsibility,

feels the need
to retire in prayer.

This unusual gesture
is also an act of humility

which we are sure
you will want to respect.

Please.

I believe I express
the sentiments

of my colleagues worldwide.

We respect His Holiness' will.

All we ask is his name,

only that.

Tell us if it's
one of these eight.

Aguilar?

Gregori?
Bikila?

We believe within a few hours,

the Pontiff will introduce
himself to the faithful

from the balcony.

At that point,
you also will meet him,

and we will celebrate
the new Pontificate together.

Thank you.

- Do you feel any pain?
- No.

- Headache?
- Yes.

How is your blood pressure
usually?

Good.

I was sure.

I was sure.

Good morning!

Good day!

How are you?

We're going to Borgo Pio
for breakfast.

What?

There's a place
where they make

delicious cream-filled
doughnuts.

Then I'd like to take them
to the Quirinale Museum.

There's a wonderful
Caravaggio exhibit.

I don't think you can.

Why not?
Our task is done.

How could you think of leaving
the Vatican at this time?

The Holy Father
will recover very soon,

and we must be at his side!

Yes, but we won't go far.

We'll take our cell phones,

so you can contact us
at anytime.

I'd like to remind you
of John Paul I's precedent

who, after his election
and appearance on the balcony,

made us stay an extra day.

Here it is.

All right, if it's only
for a day.

"No cardinal shall have
contact with the outside

until the election is over

and publicly announced."

Could I at least get
a cappuccino?

Not too hot!

- What will we have?
- Orange juice.

Two orange juices!

A cappuccino,
very little froth.

The Holy Father
has been seen by a physician,

who said
he's in good physical condition.

But the Holy Father
isn't improving.

Given the gravity
of the situation,

the cardinals
said they're in favor of--

Professor Brezzi,
may I present Cardinal Gregori.

I know you.

Your picture was in the papers.

He was the front-runner, right?

Yes.

The cardinals are in favor
of trying psychoanalysis,

despite the natural skepticism
you can well imagine.

Yes, I can imagine.

I think it's unnecessary
to remind you,

the concepts of soul
and subconscious

cannot possibly coexist.

Okay, we'll see.

What's his name?

I don't recognize him.

Who did you elect?

What's his name?

Call him Holiness.

It's a little too much.

In a therapeutic situation,

a name can give life
to the relationship.

Okay, it doesn't matter.

We cannot know his name.

I'm off.

I'll leave the two of you.

Where can the Pope and I meet?

Good morning.
How are you?

How do you feel?

I'm sorry, I don't know
what to say.

Don't worry.

Fine, we'll begin now.

Thank you all.

Right, well...

All that's happened recently,

your election and everything,

we'll lay it aside
for the moment.

I'd like us to begin

with retracing,
reliving your emotions.

Wait.

I suppose I can't ask--

Absolutely not.

I was sure that anything
about sex...

A mention of his mother?

Right now, it might reawaken
distant episodes, memories.

Exactly!

Exactly.
No.

And what about facing

unfulfilled fantasies
and desires?

No.

Something regarding
his childhood?

With great discretion.

With great discretion, fine.

- Dreams, yes, though.
- It depends on the dreams.

However, no.

It's best not to.

Best not to.

Perfect, thank you.

Change of program!

We'll start with
all that's happened recently.

I just can't go on.

Have you ever
felt like this before?

I don't know.

I don't think so,
but I don't know.

Listen.

- Any problems with your faith?
- No.

- You're sure?
- Yes.

God sees abilities in me
I don't have.

Where are these abilities?

I look for them
and find nothing.

You've been chosen,
let's say, by God

for your qualities,
for your goodness,

so how can you
possibly suddenly--

Was the doctor asked
if he's a believer?

No one asked.

- Are you?
- No, I'm not.

Not good.

But I'm afraid
that's how it is.

Anyway, let's go on.

Excuse me, you can stay,

it's fine,
but in silence, please.

Your spokesman...

Your spokesman told me

that while they all waited
for you to go onto the balcony--

- Know what happened to me?
- No.

As they were coming
towards me,

some singing,
some crying,

we were all very emotional.

Little by little,
they began disappearing.

They began disappearing?

No, all the people I once knew

were suddenly gone.

Everything vanished.

I can't remember anything.

Do you want to be Pope?

I'm already Pope.

It was decided by the cardinals.

It was decided by God.

Was this meeting of ours useful?

I don't know.

You see, Pope,

with all these people around,
looking at me,

checking me,
I just can't work.

Maybe a colleague
who doesn't know he's the Pope

could meet him...

away from here.

We must do something
right away.

That's why we came to you,

because you're the best.

A curse!

Everyone always says,
"You're the best."

My wife, also a psychoanalyst,
always said,

"Darling, you're the best".

But she left me.

She couldn't stand
the comparison.

- Is your wife good?
- The best after me.

She's prepared, sensitive,

but she's obsessed
with parental deficit.

Interesting.

She tells everyone,
really everyone,

when we all were
small children, infants,

when we were just a few...

When we were just
a few months old,

something happened
that we have to deal with

for the rest of our lives.

So the fear of being abandoned

and the fear that
something might happen to us...

Where are we?

It's your room.

My room?

I'm here if you need anything.

You'll be quite comfortable.

Now I see!

Don't worry.

We're sworn to secrecy.

You don't think I'd go around--

If you'd like to phone home,

I'll stay here, listen,
and then I'll take your phone.

No, my kids are in school now.

I have to call them
this evening, talk to them.

Why take my phone?

It's forbidden to communicate
with the outside.

I'm sorry.

Meet with the cardinals,
those you're closest to,

and start thinking
of a new secretary of state

or perhaps reconfirm
the previous one.

Or, if you're up to it,

you could go out on the balcony

to say hello to the faithful,
or just give a blessing.

Huh?
Will you?

I didn't follow
a word you said.

Help me.

I can't do this!

Rajski, what's the reaction
of the faithful?

How are they taking this
uncertainty?

What do they know?

No one knows anything,

but we can't keep it secret
much longer.

You'll see.

All together,
we can convince His Holiness

to go out on the balcony.

Locked up in here,
maybe you don't realize.

This is a very big deal!

Don't do that.

That attitude doesn't help.

You see,
we don't know what to do.

No one ever thought
anything like this could happen.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Come in.

Good evening.

Good evening.
How are you?

Fine.

- Good night.
- Good night.

We can't do this!

Mom, help!

Mommy, help!

We can't do this!

Mommy!

- Good night.
- Good night.

Two are positioned on
the Bingo Hall on this square,

another three
on the roof of the Eden Theater.

If we go through Piazza Adriana,

one of you substitutes
the newsagent,

two dress as traffic cops,

and we'll put another eight

on the Castel Sant'Angelo
walkway.

For security reasons,

the route will be decided
at the last minute.

I remind you that
the cardinals---

We'd rather the cardinals know
nothing about this operation,

so as not to worry them.

However, we'll be back
within a couple of hours,

and all this
will never have happened.

Hello, how's it going?

I wrote it all here.

The first 11 patients
must be contacted immediately.

We had appointments
for today or tomorrow.

Please, tell them gently.

Don't worry.

I haven't missed a day
in six years.

Tell them I'm sick
and it will take...

How long will I be sick?

That never opened again,

leaving the world
holding its breath.

The faithful sang and prayed
in the square all night.

I saw someone moving
behind the drapes.

I'm sure it was two cardinals.

I feel something
will soon happen.

You just heard a nun talking.

These rumors still haven't
been denied by the Holy See.

Meantime, we're
receiving statements

from heads of state
worldwide.

"We feel great anxiety,"
said Sarkozy,

"but the entire Catholic world
trusts the Vatican

to find a rapid solution."

It's shameful.

The president of Brazil
is flying to Italy,

to be close to the Holy See.

Second floor, apartment 3.

So you've always lived alone?

Why do you ask?

It will help me
get to know you.

You say you're not married.

You have no children.

Any important ties of affection?

Has this been a problem
for you?

I don't know.
That's how my life has been.

I can't do anything anymore.

I'm always tired.

Have you talked to anyone
about this difficulty?

No one.

But everyone knows by now.

I can't do this.

But the others
have great trust in me.

The others?

I'd like to do so much.

So many things
need to be changed,

and I'd like...

- So you work.
- Yes, but no.

What do you do?

- What do I do?
- Yes.

I'm an actor.

An actor.
Nice.

But an actor--

Theater.

I've always loved it.

The tours, traveling
from one city to another,

the rehearsals,

the opening nights,

when you read
the reviews together.

Nice.

But now I'm tired.

How did it go?

I think it will take
three sessions a week.

For how many weeks?

I'd say a couple of years.

That's a lot.

I know.

I need to walk a little.

No! No! No!

A sustained heaviness,

my head's too full,
but I don't know what of.

It's like a kind of
psychological sinusitis.

Is this what you call
depression?

It happened to me so suddenly.

Faster!

What have we done?

What have you done?

Perhaps you suffered
because your mother,

when you were a small child,

paid more attention
to someone else.

You know what we call that?

Parental deficit.

Parental deficit.

What should I remember,

my first three months,
my first three years?

I don't remember a thing.

Sir?

Sir?

Are you sick?

Do you need help?

- A little water?
- Yes.

How are you feeling?
Any better?

Better, thank you.

If you wait,
I'm through in an hour.

I'll take you to a bus stop.

There's no need, really.

I'm fine now.

You're still very pale.

I said I'm fine now!

Didn't you hear me?

Stop, I'm fine.
I told you!

That's enough.

Excuse me, do you have--

The bathroom's out of order.

Pardon me.

May I make a phone call?

The phone's only for work.

Sir?

- You can use mine.
- Very kind of you.

Thank you.

It's a short call.

Hello?

Holiness!
How are you?

Tell me where you are,
we'll come immediately.

- Where are you?
- I don't know.

Are you all right?

I feel better.

We're worried about you.
You should come back.

Be patient.

I need time.

I have to remember
a lot of things about my life,

things I've forgotten.

Do it for me.

I made such a fuck up--

an unforgivable mistake!

Help me, please.
Come back.

Not now.

I'll call you soon.

I'm not sure I can do it.

Don't worry,
it's very simple

but rather important.

Stop here, please.

Here, move these drapes

in the morning.

Very early,

so they'll all see

the Holy Father
is in his apartments.

Do it a couple of times a day

and once before going to bed.

But be careful.

All they must see is a shadow.

Remove your beret, of course.

Can I turn on the TV?

Yes, occasionally.

Remove your doublet too.

I'll have them bring you
something white.

Good night.

"For my days
vanish like smoke.

My bones burn
like glowing embers."

Hear how these Bible passages

seem to echo the situation
of the Holy Father.

"My heart is blighted
and withered like grass.

I forget to eat my food."

"Fear and trembling
come upon me,

and anguish overwhelms me."

In the Bible -

the only book you put
in my room, I might add -

in the Bible,
it talks about depression.

Yes, but this cannot
concern the Holy Father.

It is you,

due to your temperament
and professional bias,

who sees depression everywhere.

But in this book

are all the symptoms
of depression:

feelings of guilt, weight loss,
suicidal thoughts.

I feel better!

I feel better.

The Holy Father just told me
these exact words:

"I feel better."

He had a good day.

He prayed.

He had something to eat
in his apartments,

and his mood seemed encouraging.

You're pleased
the Holy Father feels better?

Australian cardinals,
good evening.

How's the jet lag?

Much better, thank you.

- What is it?
- "Living with the Etruscans."

- ls it worth a visit?
- It's a beautiful outing.

I've never been there,
but it's beautiful.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

Everything we need is
here in the Vatican, right?

The famous service station

where gas costs less,

shops.

Gym facilities?

Sure, gym facilities too.

Just great.

The pharmacy with medicines

you can't find in Rome.

Well, well.

We who are fortunate
to think we understand things...

But recently,
it's been hard for the church

to understand things.

The beginning
of Peter's mission,

in the history of salvation,

in the history
of God's people--

Why?

What's changed?

I can't live without you.

We've often been afraid

to admit our faults.

Yes, I'm talking to myself.

I'm looking for the words
for a speech I have to make

before a crowd of people.

I'm a little worried.

For instance,

if I take my usual sleeping pill
before bedtime,

when I wake up at 3:00,
I take this other one.

These medicines
don't go together.

Sleeping pills.

This is the family
of tranquilizers.

These are mood stabilizers.

This is a major tranquilizer.

This is strong.

Who takes this?

Who takes this?

I don't know.

Anyway,
if you take a sleeping pill,

it should have a short
half-life.

O'Neill, let's say
you wake up tomorrow

wanting to do sports.

I don't do sports.

Follow me on this.

If you do sports tomorrow,

you'll still be fuzzy
from this.

- Good evening to all.
- How is he?

Better.
His appetite's back.

His Holiness ate everything.

Two types of prosciutto,
all the vegetables.

He devoured the fruit

and even had a small dessert.

Now he's resting
in his apartment.

Like it?

I have a parental deficit.

But I don't know what it is.

Good evening.
Good evening.

Excuse me,
could I have a room?

How many nights?

I don't know.

For tonight?

Yes.
Special rates?

Poor man.

- Why?
- They say he's dead.

Now they'll elect another
but without letting on.

They said it on TV?

They can't,
but it's obvious.

The Holy Father
is in his room, in prayer.

But the moment
we've been waiting for--

Dear brothers and sisters.

Nuntio vobis gaudium magnum.

The Pope.

The Pope.

The Pope.

He feels better.

Nina, coming from backstage:
"It's clear we can't continue.

I can leave.
Good-bye!"

She kisses Arkadina
and Polina Andryevna.

Pardon us.

"May I introduce
Boris Alexeyevich."

Nina, confounded: "A great joy,
I've read your books."

Arkadina, sitting Nina
beside her:

"Don't be confounded, dear,
he's a celebrity,

but he's a simple man
and is himself confounded."

Dorn, irritated: "Yakov,
my brother, raise the curtain!"

"When I was young,
I wanted to be a scholar

but didn't become one!

I wanted to be an orator,

but my speaking
would make you nauseous!

I wanted to marry but didn't!

I wanted to live in the city."

"I wanted to live in the city,

but I end my life living
in the country, and that's it."

"To express dissatisfaction
with life at 62,

you must admit, is petty."

"How obstinate.

Can't you see I want to live?"

"That's frivolity.

The laws of nature dictate
that every life must end."

"You reason as a satiated man.

You are satiated,
so you're uninterested in life."

Medvedenko:
"Let's go home, Masha!"

Masha: "Go by yourself."

"Go by yourself."

Medvedenko: "Your father
won't give me horses."

"Your father"--

Stop, why repeat my lines?

My sister--

You have no sister!
It's not true!

My sister played Chekhov
for many years.

I know it by heart.

The Seagull.

Masha, confidently:

"He will ask him for them.

He Will."

"Father, will you let my husband
have a horse?"

Shamrayev: "Not possible!"

Medvedenko: "I'll walk home."

And at last, he exits.

We'll see you soon.

You had three points,
plus one, is four.

We made just one point?

You had to take 5 and 4
with 9!

- With a 7 on the table?
- You don't know how to play.

You should have left the 7
and called spariglio.

But we made a point.

And they got two points
with the last trick.

When it's not your hand,
you must call spariglio.

You're always distracted!

No, I'm focused.

No, it's no way to play!

I'm very sorry.

You're sorry.

It's the second time we've lost.

Whose deal is it?

Excuse me,
I can't take anymore.

You're offended?

No, I have a headache.

Would you like to play?

Well, I don't know
what they think.

Know what spariglio is?

I've been told lots of times.

I think I understand,

but I can't follow
this technique.

Let me play my own way.

Evgenij, which of us
looks younger?

- You, of course.
- You see! And why?

"Because I work, I feel"--

Because I'm always busy,

you're always in
the same place.

You don't live.

I have a rule:
never look to the future.

I never think about
old age or death.

I feel like I was born
so long ago.

I drag my life
like an endless train.

Excuse me.

Often, I've no desire
to live.

Here Dorn should come in.

Did you visit Dario?

How is he?

The doctors say
it's not serious,

but he won't make
the opening night.

Pardon.

That's it?
Did you call Baldineti?

Yes, but he's on tour,
Guerrini's not here or Zagoni

and not even that tall guy
with a mustache, De Biasio.

- What'll we do about Dorn?
- I can give the lines.

I've given it some thought.

I guess I'll just
have to do it myself.

- Oh, great.
- Just for the first few days.

I really miss my wife.

A period of being apart
always gives you the chance

to measure the value of love.

What do you know?

No, guys, I miss her,
meaning, we're separated.

She's a psychoanalyst too.

She left me
because I'm the best,

and it bothered her.

She's good too,

but she's obsessed
with parental deficit.

- Interesting.
- Yes.

But these are formulas.

I could simplify and say

the Holy Father
feels vulnerable at the moment

but at the same time,
narcissistically exceptional.

- How dare you?
- I mean, the man, not the Pope.

- They're the same thing!
- I'm not so sure.

Queen.

Does your wife have
a new life?

Yes, she's been with a guy
for a few years.

He's a good person,

but she can't bring herself
to tell our kids.

He's a psychoanalyst too.

All these psychoanalysts.

Is there such a need?

But I have a good relationship
with my wife.

I'm glad.

I'm glad too.

Point!

I confused them with my chatter.

Actually, the Conclave
is still technically operative.

Yes, we all heard
the spokesman for the Holy See,

but I don't think he reassured

the hundreds of millions
of faithful.

Might we say this is
an unexpected event?

You know I used to eat here
with Salvo Randone?

Do you know who he was?

He's the one who,
with Gassman,

would do Othello one evening,

and Iago the next.

They'd swap parts.

We need to be patient.

Haven't you formed an opinion

about what might have happened?

I don't think there's
a mystery behind all this.

A search for serenity,
in silence,

before approaching
the waiting world,

is a Pontiffs prerogative.

It's not nonsense.

Wine and tobacco
deprive the personality.

Loving without hope,

entire years waiting
for something.

Last night I went
into the garden

to see if our old theater
was still there,

and it was there.

It's dark in the garden.

They should tear down
that theater.

It is there, empty.

After a good cigar
or some vodka--

Let's remember that the Pope

is the Lord's first servant.

But he's also the last.

The first
but also the last.

So the first
and also the last.

This leads us,
as a consequence?

As a consequence,
this leads us...

This leads us...

- This leads us?
- This leads us?

No, I'm improvising.

The truth is,
I'm totally confused.

I ask the viewers' forgiveness,

forgiveness from all of you.

Sorry.

No, no problem.

I remind you, formally,

the Conclave
still isn't over.

I know.

The cardinals
are still isolated,

far from the glare
of the media.

Europe, I haven't decided
if you're in two or three teams.

North America, Asia,

South America, Oceania,

Swiss Guards...

No!

- Africa.
- No!

The tournament's unbalanced
with the Swiss Guards!

You like winning, right?

Yes.

You're right,
no team of Swiss Guards.

But I can't remember your name,
Cardinal.

Pescardona.

During the Conclave,
the bookmakers,

especially the English,
gave odds for all of you.

Let's see Pescardona.

You were given 7 to 1!

What's that?
Good?

It sure is!

The Holy Father was given
just 90 to 1.

That's wonderful.

You don't understand.

I'll explain.

If you'd bet 10 Euros on him,
you'd have won 900.

Not bad, eh?

Then there's Cruz, 72,

Gregori, well,
the favored--

- Here he is!
- Good evening.

We were talking about you.

Congratulations.
You were given 3 to 1.

Was he disappointed
not to be elected?

No one here is disappointed.

Lucky you.

Brummer!
What were my odds?

Brummer, you say?

Brummer.

If you all agree,
I'll choose the teams' captains

from the bookmakers' favorites.

The captains can be Aguilar,

Cincotta, Stanton, Bikila--

You didn't give my number!

If I didn't,
there's a reason.

What do you think?

Your number's not here.

Your number doesn't exist.

Since you insist,
you were given no odds at all!

You weren't considered!

You insisted.

- Happy now?
- No.

I'd say not!

But you insisted!

Flatten these corners,
all the way.

To the side, it has to be
flattened right to the end,

or we'll get hurt.

Go, like that.

Come back!

There's a hollow here.

Go back.

Now this part here.

You have to flatten it,
one, two, three times.

If not, when we jump,

we could get hurt.

Like that, overhand.

Overhand.

Next in line.

Next.

- The Korean way.
- What's it like?

Underhand with a spin.

Okay, no spin there.

In the first heat is
North America, Asia,

Europe A, Eastern Europe.

Why can't we have
an all-Italian team?

No, you Italians play
either on the Europe A team

or on the Europe B.

Please, don't spoil the grid.

I worked on it all night.

Or I'll leave, and you can do
the tournament by yourselves!

Okay, but...

Why don't we play
Prison Dodgeball?

Prison Dodgeball.

- Prison Dodgeball?
- Yes.

Cardinal, it hasn't been
played in 50 years.

In the second heat is
South America,

Africa, Europe B, and Oceania.

But there are just
three of us!

Oceania is just three?
Too bad!

That means
you get experience this time.

Then, if you're good
to the faithful

in the coming years,

there will be more of you
at the next Conclave,

four, five, six.

Do you see why it's better
to do a round-robin tournament

and not a direct elimination?

Professor,
we don't understand.

I can tell.

But it's okay,
just don't get mad.

I won't get mad,
and with more games,

we give the Holy Father
more time

to get back on his feet.

Never underestimate the support
he receives

in feeling surrounded

by this energy,
this fighting spirit.

Hear what I say.

I'd even tend towards

a double round-robin tournament.

Double round-robin, no!

We'd die.

Come on.

It's true.

Mommy knows him.
It's okay.

I thought about it.

It's true.
I've never really felt well.

But I've done many things
in my life.

I've even done some good.

Why can't I do anything anymore?

Can we talk later?

I'm taking the kids to school.

Talk to you later.

Yes, me too.

Was that your boyfriend?

No way!
It was Leonardo, my colleague.

Giulio told me
you have a boyfriend.

Not true,
I didn't tell you anything.

You're an idiot!

You say it every night.
I can't stand it!

Big mouth!

Your classmates say so too!
You're a big mouth!

You're stupid!

Stop it!
Or I'll drop you right here!

You're a stinky girl!

Bird-brain!

That's enough!

Creep!

But he--

Enough.
I want no more.

Did you hit girls
when you were little?

Sure, of course.

See?

This black dragon,
with trees covered in lava.

Nice.

Here's the two-headed dragon
phase,

like he was divided.

The two volcanoes,
one good and one bad.

This is him
in the dragon's jaws.

That's nice!

- It's monstrous!
- No, look.

Do you think he knows
Carlo and I have problems?

What do you think?
Should I leave my husband?

Please,
pay no attention to me.

I'm not sitting here.

I'm in my apartments.

It's not true I'm an actor.

No?

I wanted to be, but I didn't
make it into the Academy.

- I failed the audition.
- I'm sorry.

Thank you.

They were right.

I was no good.

But they took my sister.

See, very strong,
he gets four points.

That was a wide-angle shot.

He's trying to shoot.

Point for South America!

Point for Europe B!
Europe B to serve!

We're not the casual,
senseless product of evolution.

Point for Africa!

We're each the fruit
of a thought of God.

No, Gregori,
that's the terrible

beauty of Darwinism.

Terrible.

No sense in life,
no consolation.

Point!

Europe B, 10.
Oceania, 0.

This other one is more exciting,
because it's more competitive.

South America to serve.

Africa, 8.
South America, 6.

Oceania, 0.
Europe B, 11.

Point for South America!

South America to serve.

Point for Europe B.
Oceania!

The Holy Father!

Too bad, it was such
an interesting case for me.

But now I know who he is.
I can't do anything for him.

Who knows how he feels?

Let's get back to it!

Europe B
and South America to serve.

Point for Africa!

Ball!

Serve!

Change.

Change.

Change!

Change!

Ribeck, Schinkel,
you seem tired.

Scipioni and Bollati,
you're in!

Me?
No.

- I don't feel like it.
- Yes you do!

Cardinal Cruz, again!

Time out!

I've told you
when you are there,

raise your hands!

- I can't do it.
- Of course you can!

Serve!

Europe B
and Africa to serve.

We can win!

Concentrate!

Anyway, you're lucky.

You won't go to hell.

Good news.

Point for South America!

No one will.

Hell is deserted.

Point.

A comeback!

A comeback!

Point for Oceania!

Europe B, 16.
Oceania, 1.

Let us welcome the word
that God gives us today.

His words are for those of us

who carry in our hearts
desires, dreams, plans,

but also worries,
problems, and fears.

Of all the things,

maybe what frightens us
are these new times,

the unprecedented situation,
the waiting,

the length of which is unknown,

but which asks us
for a new heart,

a new answer which God Himself
suggests in these words:

humility,

the wisdom to recognize
that we need God.

We need His forgiveness,
His patience.

We need to show our wounds
to Him,

because He is the only one
who can heal them.

Holy Father,
we're behind in everything.

You haven't yet indicated

the start of the new
Pontificate.

We understand how you feel,

but you remember how,
in years past,

our beloved Pontiff,

even when he was seriously ill,

continued his
pastoral commitment.

Of course, we can't allow
more time to pass.

In fact, I brought you
several sketches

for the Pontificate
coat of arms.

Here they are.

Do any appeal to you?

- This one.
- This one?

No, this one.

It's simple.
I think it's right.

- Are you sure?
- No.

Holiness.

You were right.

You had to reflect,
be by yourself,

but now I beg you,

do an act of obedience
to the Lord.

Come back to us.

A billion people
are waiting for you.

Can't we make me vanish?

I disappear.

All this never happened.

No one has ever seen me.

No one will ever see me again,
I promise you.

Let me go away, please.

Guys, you must be kidding!

Stop.

You can't do this to me.

We have to play
the two semifinals!

Then the winners...

The Holy Father is watching us.

It's not right to leave him
without a winning team.

It's not right!

Pescardona!

Are you saying
it was all useless?

South America is
in the semifinals.

You're the tournament's
revelation!

You're in the semifinals.

Let's play this semifinal!

Professor,
there's no more time.

Why?

Good morning.

Thank you for responding
to my invitation,

but the situation
has become very serious.

I can no longer be silent.

No doubt I made a mistake,

and I take full responsibility
for what I've done.

I tried, for the good of all,

to resolve
a very difficult situation.

But in so doing, I lied to you.

The Pope hasn't been here
with us for three days.

He has gone.

I know where he is.

I ask you to forgive me.

It's my fault so much time
has passed.

The moment has come
for all of you

to make a decision.

Forgive me once again.

Is anyone against
this proposal?

Thank you.

In favor?

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Thank you!

Food poisoning,
really nothing.

Food poisoning,
a negligible episode.

What did they put
in that omelet?

I don't know.

Food poisoning,
nothing serious.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

Why do you wear black
all the time?

I'm in mourning for my life.
I'm unhappy.

Why?

You're healthy.

Your father,
although he's not rich,

is quite well off.

I'm more miserable than you.

I'm paid 23 rubles a month.

I'm paid 23 rubles a month,

and they take
pension deductions.

Still, I don't wear mourning.

Quiet!

Money doesn't matter.

Even a poor man
can be happy.

Yes, in theory,
but not in reality.

But not in reality.

There's me, my mother,

my two sisters,
my little brother,

and 23 rubles.

23 rubles in all.

We need to eat and drink.

And tea?

And tea.

And sugar?
And tobacco?

Tobacco!

- Now me?
- No!

Treplyov, listening:
"I hear footsteps!"

Enter the uncle.

Treplyov embraces him.

"I cannot live
without Nina!

I am madly happy!"

He runs to meet Nina who enters.

Then with passion...

"My enchantress, my dream!"

"I'm not late, am I?"

Treplyov, kissing her hands,
"No, no."

Nina: "I've been in a fever
all day.

"I was afraid my father...

"But then he and my stepmother
went out.

Then I urged my horse!"

She squeezes Sorin's hands.

"I'm so glad!
So glad!"

In these days...

In these days,
you must have asked yourselves,

why doesn't our Pope
come to say hello?

He mustn't worry.

If the Lord chose him,

He couldn't have made a mistake.

Yes, I was chosen,

but this,

instead of giving me
strength and consciousness,

it crushes me,
confuses me.

In this moment,

the Church needs a guide
who has the strength

to bring great changes,

who seeks
an encounter with all...

Who has, for all,

love and understanding.

I ask the Lord's forgiveness

for what I am about to do.

I don't know if He will be able
to forgive me.

But I must speak to Him
and to you with sincerity.

In these days,

I've thought
very much about you,

and I realize I am not able

to bear the role
entrusted to me.

I feel I am among those
who cannot lead

but who must be led.

In this moment, I can only say,

pray for me.

The guide that you need
is not me.

I can't be the one.

WE HAVE A POPE
