Not a flicker. No. Whatever you burn for, Ralph... is not for the flesh. I am... surprised, Your Grace. Shocked, you mean, by my methods. But you shouldn't be. They are simply tactics of which you must be aware... if your weakness lies where I think it does: in ambition. If that is a flaw, I shall try to mend it... Archbishop. I might find that rather tedious as it is a weakness which I share. And like all self-perpetuating institutions... the Church has always a place for ambitious men. In fact... you are everything the Church admires... in her high officials. You are conservative, quick, subtle. You know enough never to give away... what is going on behind those eyes. And you have the most exquisite gift... of knowing how to please. Even when it comes to pleasing those you loathe. You make me out to be a Machiavelli, except that he was an Italian. My dear Ralph, you are a delight. I can scarcely wait to see your effect on our short, fat prelates in Rome. Rome? The beautiful, sleek cat among the plump, startled pigeons. In time, my ambitious friend. In time. These conferences will soon be over... and then we shall see... what fate has in store at the Vatican... for both of us. This is great. We do have better in Queensland, of course. You can't imagine how absurd you were that night, claiming I might drown. You could've pretended you were drowning. –And make myself as ridiculous as you?
–Then I could've swooped you up... Put me down. And do what I've been wanting to ever since that moment. No. That's enough. –I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. –You didn't offend me. Really. I suppose... I'm just not very used to it, that's all. That's all right. You said you'd been in love once, so I thought he must've... –But I guess it wasn't like that. –No, it wasn't. He wasn't. We'd best go in. Marry me, Meghann. Up so late, Mom? I wanted to get this summary report in order for Father Ralph. We've really come back very strongly since the fire. Maybe even stronger than ever. I think Ralph will be quite surprised. –Is he back from Greece? –No. In fact, I had a letter just today. Quite an announcement. He's off to the Vatican with that... The one with the name a yard long. Ralph's to be made a Bishop. So who knows if he'll ever be back to Australia. The Vatican.
–That's nice. –Nice? –I thought you'd be pleased for him. –Of course, I'm pleased. It's what he always wanted, isn't it? It's just that I've got my own announcement to make. I'm going to marry Luke O'Neill. What I wouldn't give if she were yours instead of Luke's. God knows how much I've hurt you. But I do love you. –Meghann's my wife, not yours! –Then be a husband to her, man! I tried to forget you with someone else! Two lives on a collision course with destiny. I've tried so hard to get her out of my heart. The Thorn Birds continues. Subtitles conformed by SOFTITLER English ⬄25000÷1000⬄ From the outback of Australia... comes a turbulent saga that spans the decades. Fire. Fire on Drogheda. Colleen McCullough's best-selling novel: The Thorn Birds. The story of an ambitious priest, a beautiful woman... and a love that lasts a lifetime. You can marry me. You love me. But I love God more. His ambition took him from the woman he loved... to the corridors of power. Her desire brought her to a man who could take his place.
God, you are beautiful. Ralph's to be made a Bishop. I've got my own announcement to make. I'm going to marry Luke O'Neill. And tonight, the story continues. I'll never have what I really want. With no home, no babies. No husband, for that matter. And Meggie's fighting back the only way she can. Meghann, what have you done to me? What I wouldn't give if she were yours instead of Luke's. Meghann's my wife, not yours. God knows how much I've hurt you, but I do love you. You haven't the least idea what real love is! I'm not going to waste the rest of my life dreaming of a man I can never have. Forgive me. No more. Christopher Plummer, Piper Laurie, Earl Holliman... Ken Howard, Mare Winningham... Philip Anglim, Jean Simmons... Bryan Brown, Rachel Ward... and Richard Chamberlain. A love unattainable... forbidden forever: The Thorn Birds. I wonder what Ralph will think... when I write that you've married a Protestant. What difference does it make? I'm doing what he wanted, aren't I? Mom... I'd really rather you didn't write. I'll send Father Ralph a letter about it as soon as we settle in Queensland. All right, if you prefer.
The Minister's going. I'd best go down. I'll miss you, Meggie. If you don't stop, you'll have me crying as well... and how would that look? –I'm a silly old goose. It's just that Queensland seems so far away. It's not forever, and I'll be home to visit. It's just that Luke can earn so much more cutting cane in Queensland. I suppose that means you'll be able to buy your own sheep station that much sooner. That's right. And just think... I'll have a new home of my own to take care of. And I'll have children one day. I've just got to have something of my own... something real that I can care about. Meggie, darling. And I need Luke. He's not one of those complicated men... who'll always be wanting something more than he wants me. Luke loves me, Mrs Smith. Truly, he does. £14·000? Why, that's more than a lot of squatters are worth. I had no idea. What, she didn't tell you? Oh, Lord. That's Meggie. No more idea than a child about such things. Ralph gave us money when the Church inherited Drogheda. Father de Bricassart. He oversees the estate for the Church. I've transferred Meggie's money to the bank in Dungloe... and put it in your name.
I want you to know how much I appreciate the way you Clearys have treated me. I don't have much, but what I do have is Meghann's. And you can be sure I'll never touch a penny of this except to buy us a station. And I'll take good care of her. You have my word on that. Come on, you two! Goodbye, Pete. –All the best, Meggie. –Thanks, Alastair. Be happy, Meggie. Come on, Meghann, we'll miss our train. Your Eminence. Eminence? I think I'm not quite accustomed yet to being a cardinal, Ralph. I'm almost rather startled when you call me that. You will see what I mean... when first you are addressed as My Lord Bishop de Bricassart. But I trust you're ready for it. I hope that I am... and that I can be worthy of it. My dear Ralph. Often when I speak to you of your progress in the Church... I do so in ways that sound worldly... even cynical. I do not fully understand you yet. Perhaps I never shall. But I have never doubted... that your life is dedicated to God. Nor do I doubt that in making you My Lord Bishop today... the Church will bring you... the greatest happiness you have ever known. Luke, look. It's like paradise. It's Queensland, love. –Luke, what on earth are they doing? –They're burning up the cane.
Drives out the rats and snakes, makes it easier for the fellows to get at. Smells wonderful, doesn't it? That's what you'll be doing? –That's coolie labor. –Coolie labor? Queensland cutters are the finest in the world, the elite. I'll be a lucky lad if my old mate, Arne, will hire me. He will, if he wants a good worker. I can earn 10 times as much in that cane as I ever could at Drogheda. And that means we'll be able to buy a place that much sooner. So if I have to be a coolie now, then I will. Because one day, Mrs O'Neill, I intend to be the headpin... out on the best sheep station in the whole of Western Queensland. I'm sorry. Forget it, love. First time and all. –Does it always hurt so much? –Never got any complaints before. I'm just so tired. –Three days on the train and then the bus. –I know. And this wet heat makes it worse when you're not used to it. Tell you what. You have a nice nap, and I'll go and see Arne. Then we'll both look at Dungloe together. Tell me about Arne Swenson. You haven't said a word. Should've seen his face when I told him I was married. –Couldn't believe I'd do it to him. –Does he have a job for you? –Only £20 a week, starting tomorrow.
–£20? That's wonderful. Tomorrow? We don't even have a house yet. I suppose I could look for one by myself. That's what I wanted to talk to you about. See, Arne's gang works six days a week, up and down the coast. They live in barracks, and I'll have to live with them. What am I supposed to do? –I don't want to stay here by myself. –Of course not, and I wouldn't want you to. Besides what sort of sense would that be? Paying rent on a place for just one person. I fixed up for you to stay with someone Arne knows. The Muellers. –Mrs Mueller needs help round the house... –Luke. You hired me out as a housemaid? You make it sound like the end of the world. You'll be on a big cane plantation. The Mueller's manage it. And they're nice people. I looked them over very carefully. I thought at least I'd make some kind of home for us. It's not as if we were destitute. We've got my £14·000. And that's to stay in the bank as our nest egg. The rest we can earn together. If we put our heads down and work hard, we'll have our own place in no time. –I just want us to have the best.
–I know. But living in some stranger's house... never seeing you? –Of course, you'll see me. We'll have every Sunday together. Make up for the rest of the week. Come on, let's get back to the hotel. We got some honeymooning to do. Good life all right, cutting the sugar. Best life there is for the man that's up to it. And Luke, he's got the stuff to be a bloody good cutter... if he's not interfered with. Let's just hope Luke is bloody good enough... to make lots of money... because that's what he wants out of it. –Yeah, that's what I used to say. Look at this, Meghann. Didn't I say it was nice? There's plenty of cane, if that's what you mean. –Bye, Luke. –Come on, Luke. –Come on, say goodbye to your... –Bye, love. –See you Sunday. –She'll be waiting for you Sunday. Come, let's go. We are family now. Good day! Can you tell me where to find the manager? Thank you. Get those slobs off their behinds and on their feet or I'll find somebody who can. There's plenty looking for your job. Mr Mueller? I'm Meggie Cleary.
Emanou! Emanou! Run. Run, comrades. The old world is right in front of you. Can you hear that ? Mystical young people, always more beautiful. They're dreaming about being happy idiots. You. Be salty, not sweet. I'll do whatever I have to do for your little sucker's face, old slithering straw mattress, You get wet for a handsome male like me. Don't you? You've got ears, but you're deaf. You got eyes, but you can't see. When the time comes, it will be too late for you to understand. Anyway, I'm not worried about your snotty kids, who are dazed by hashish and music. Cops are going to make them walk straight. Like it was before the cataclysm. I haven't brought you peace, but a sword. He who found his life, will lose it. And he who loses his life because of me will find it. Happy will be the upset ones, because they'll be comforted. Happy will be those who hunger for freedom, because they'll be filled. You are the light of the world. And you don't turn on a light to keep it hidden. I didn't come to abolish, but to accomplish. 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2... Think about your record. 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2...
He promises to give a concert. He knows it's forbidden, he's dooming himself to death. We must be ready in time. This should not ever start again. We must catch him and break him, definitively. The Bunker is counting on us. They are on full alert: ten squads on the job. Do you realize that ? Come on. Chest... Breath... Come on. Don't bend over. Breath... Breath... 1, 2, 1, 2... It's the Bunker! I dreamt that... turtles... Shhhh! Cops are close. I can hear their fear. That is music! That's it. Cops are coming. I have to settle down. I can't at night. But if it were morning... Let there be light. You're too much. You're really too much.
Are you crazy ? Help... You're insane... They say cops are coming closer. Do you think Topé is going to betray Emanou? He's going to do it for him, not against him. It's written. You're going to do what I order you to do. Or I'll throw your bearded guy to the sea. Not tonight. I don't want to do it. What's that? You don't want? I forgive you for rebelling. Should I kick you up to there? I'll give you a brandy tasting blow job, my legionnaire. Go ahead. Take the top of his minaret off. Make it snappy! Put all your arse into it! Slut! Milos is getting off! He got his brothel in the cemetery. He'll knock up Dila once again. But us, what we like is music! I can tell Emanou used to know this girl. I'm sure of it. It was the time he was working as a carpenter with his father. During daytime, because at night he was performing concerts. I've been told about the birth of Emanou.
The cops didn't want anybody to perform subversive music. They really beat the shit out of us ! His mother, She was engaged with some guy called Joseph... ..before they started living together, she got pregnant by the effect of the Holy Spirit. There was a donkey and an ox inside the stable where he was born. That killed more idols-to-be than Herod had slaughtered innocent men. When he was born, it was said that they sang. "God be praised in Heaven. And peace on earth for good-willing men." Mary gave birth to her son, wrapped him in a piece of cloth, and put him in a manger, because there was no room elsewhere. He is so different. My son is divine. I see him so high, so far away. From the Orient, we have seen his hearth shine. And we came to worship him. After his birth, he grew up in wisdom, body height and in grace, along with God and men. I'll never be able to understand you. Whore for Milos, mystical ballet for Emanou. Your Emanou... It has been said: When they accept the violence of scandal... and of its illumination... the rain will come... You can't hear me. You only think about your tiny green slave's herd. I can feel your heart beating. I can feel the rhythm of your breathing on my skin. But you only think about Emanou. I'd like you to sleep on top of me. Like a seagull during siesta time. It's a boy! It's a boy.
A birth in this fucking cemetery... It's the first time. Does that mean that life goes on? I believed that only turtles could give birth after a cataclysm. It's a boy. That's what she wanted! It's harder to find a place for a girl in a faggot society! Keep on jerking off! You were so beautiful in the fish tank. You looked like the girls from Sion, who were wearing a tiara on the day of their wedding. The rest of the band is starting to become nervous. They feel that the cops are coming closer. The hash isn't calming them down anymore. We should go away before the concert. Hear me? You have been speaking about this cemetery for years. The music and everything, but all we have seen is three junk cars managed by a former pimp. Yes, this concert is only a legend and this music is cutting off youngsters from reality. And the worst part is that cultured people like you are taking it all seriously. He wrote: "Let he who loves me follow me". But me Nobody loves me. Men of little beliefs! I've seen him before my eyes in the swimming-pool. I've seen him. On your marks! Get set, but be careful, no false start... Go! Seeing him walk on the water, the impressed men said: "What can he be, that even water obeys him?"
When is he going to perform his concert? It isn't his time yet. I'm going to cook this omelet alone. Absolon does nothing else other than worshipping you. Tell her to help me. Absolon is right. It has been said that love comes before work. He's going off. Totally. So love gives beautiful wrinkles and work ugly blisters, huh? I'm off. I'm off. They won't get me. Dila. The place is closed. The police want to kill Emanou and make an example of his death. Don't listen to false prophets. It's the time of the beast. For five dollars only, everybody can fish cod. Hallelujah It's worse than the bomb. It's going to break our eardrums. With those moves she does... Same as a dove; the spirit came down to him and said: "My beloved son, I put all my trust in you." After holding a fast for 40 days and nights, the Devil took him with him to show him all the kingdoms and their glory. I promise you fame and glory. Take these wings and jump down. Fans are going to take you in their hands to avoid your feet being hurt. You will not tempt me!
You will hold a fast for 40 days and nights. Now, make this stone turn to fire! Men need more than bread. I'll give you glory if while i'm filming you fall down to my feet and worship me. Vade retro satanas. When I was a kid... Hey, be careful. When I was a child, I was dreaming that naked slaves, who were only wearing a red towel, were teaching me philosophy. They were caressing your holy body, huh? Cleaning up your most dirty corners. I should eat him. Completely; to meld him and myself together. Things would be easier. Take care, pal, you must do what has been wrote. By the way, how did they met, Emanou and Dila? In a billion litres of water. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Our illustrious guests can use anything here. For true aesthetes... We are in Babylon. We have the greatest choices of character to offer you: Centurions in a state of grace, comforting Samaritan girls, adulterous women ready to be stoned to death, and fishermen from the lake of Tiberia. Everything is yours. Babylon is always on the cutting edge. Hallelujah! Not a light, not a soul.
As usual! Stop complaining and train a bit. 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2.... Come on. 1, 2, 1, 2. Jump! Make an effort. You're going to break every record. One more ghost cemetery. We'll never find the one where Emanou is hiding. That puts me down in the dumps. These are deserts forgotten by men. We'll never find who we're looking for. Come on. Jump. 1, 2, 1, 2. "Love each other"... Great solidarity, absolute availability! We should eradicate this chaos. Jump! Come on! I will crush them like cockroaches... Find their cemetery. Come on. Jump. 1, 2, 1, 2. He mustn't give this last concert. It would be chaos. The triumph of vice! Did you hear? Come. It was too much for him. He let himself be caught like a swallow.
What a bad trip. Cops tailing you... To come upon the cops in a ghost cemetery... He must have been very stoned. He was going to the cemetery scared by the idea of never hearing music again Anyway the bloody coppers really snafued him. They really made a mess of him. It doesn't matter. Every single grain of sand is part of the cemetery. He wouldn't have been killed if you had been there. You are the resurrection. He who believes in you will never die. Get up, Lazarus. Stand up and walk. They've waited too long for their concert. Now they see miracles everywhere. I don't believe in this resurrection of Lazarus. Wait for the rain. It will never rain, sweety. Since the cemetery is there, and guys like me have been in charge of it, not a single drop of rain has fallen from the sky. It's going to rain. And Milos will be drowned. I'm fed up with you and your filthy animal. Listen carefully; If your God really existed, I would go and quietly spit on his boots, to make them shine. He really can do everything. Unless we all dreaming. Lazarus... Here, my darling... Come on...
He told them: "A good tree can't bear bad fruit". As he was walking down a back-alley, a blind man came to him: "Be merciful, son of the light..." 1... Hold tight. 2... Again... 1... Lift it. 2... Come on. Don't be lazy. You have to lift more weights or you'll never break the record. Come on. Once more. Brush me, my love. Make it shine. I need it. My giant is crying. Don't even think about it. We are the authority. And anyway, I don't know you, sir. The Bunker to all squads: We haven't located Emanou yet. Don't forget he is a very dangerous anarchist. We must arrest him at once. His death must be an example for all his accomplices. I want to sleep. Smell my candelabra, Lasca. OK, but only once! Would I be able to buy the whole of humanity by myself? Without anybody's help.
tell that to Centurion. Are you planning the future of your protégé? I'm planning the great sacrifice. Mine. I would be the real Savior. I would accomplish my task. And God knows it's a despicable task. In 2000 years, I'll be in the latrines of history. I don't understand a thing. But I used to know your friend very well He kicked me out of the Crazy Times... My temple. I'm the Devil. I'm the fallen angel. Go ahead Mr Topé. Drink some good coffee to forget your bad thoughts. What is easier? To tell a paralyzed person: "It's because of your sins," or to tell him: "Stand up, and walk." Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The great ecstasy... You can buy or sell everything. And make the one of you who never sinned be the first to throw a stone at the slut who sells her body. You're in Babylon! Dila is held by her pimp, so she sells her body. But what about you? It's too hot to be in the game. And we're lacking music.
You always preferred noise over being in the game. Noise is already music. The old ones are still in the race. They're all over the fucking place. Is there an available Chrystler, I'd like to take a nap. Over there. Do you now what he said the other day? "At the beginning, God created the sky and earth". Pretty, don't you think? The whole thing started like this? They had explained it to me in a more complicated way. All these stories about cosmos... He also said: "The everlasting God created man from the dust of the earth, and he blew in his hands the breath of life. And man became a living creature". I hope we can continue to have fun. He said: "We should be as children". It's going to be difficult. We'll try. He took off the bandages and she was cured. Hey, Topé. You know we are the last two who've kept their eyes open, in this last shelter that God shat accidentally after the cataclysm. I'm dreaming... about being attacked by tanks. They're firing at me. I'm in the midst of the two armies, totally naked and painted green. I'm slowly falling from the sky. Everybody hates my guts. And on top of that, they say I'm a paranoiac. When are they going to open?
Two more miracles and that's it. Yeah... I split! I'm out of here. I'm fed up with all this. I should have never come here. I'll be fine when I'll be alone... There will be nobody there to contradict me. Nobody to see my weaknesses. How blissful. Farewell. Some lights, at least. This traitor, Topé, gave us fair information. We'll make a small celebration for Emanou. A nice celebration. Try this. OK. With this, they won't notice you. So. I'm on my way. It's not finished. You brought us to the cemetery, but... If you want, I can tell you a dream. My mother made me sit on a chair. The colonel was trying to make a hole in my head with a lancet. To remove the stone of madness. We still don't know where Emanou is hiding. Emanou? He will be at the forbidden concert tonight. He will be the one singing.
I'm going now... You'll have your money only after. Cash money. I promise. I'm going now. Bye. We must call headquarters. There will be no concert. Don't you think we have better things to do? No, and no! It's no good for you and it will make you weak. Just a quickie. In your mouth. The "hula hoop" one is good for me. I told you no, and no! Anyway, we have no quiet place to go to. Hey! This time, I also had a dream. I dreamt that... I disowned him three times before the first cock crowed. Be good! Be pure! Emanou really makes miracles. Yes. To give music and dreams to thousands of people is a real miracle. He'll probably do it again. I hope he won't pay for all of us, and lose his life. Stop fucking knocking. I'm here. You'll break the car.
Don't look at me like this, I'm a civil servant, but I'm not made of wood. I'm not like the others, my sweet... One more shagging couple. Mister and Madam, please follow me. We have a car that Mr will enjoy. Silent mattress, romantic and if you wish to play the mirror's game, my wife is at your disposal. Emanou! Emanou! Can you hear them? "Emanou! Emanou!" Actually... The best way to punish men is to give them what they ask for. No, old pal. They want to enjoy. Here and now. And during this time, Emanou is speaking about graciousness. I don't now... I want to shout at them: Fuck each other now, before he fucks you. Watch your ears: they have walls! What are you doing here? The concert is not starting yet. It'll start soon, but not yet. Topé, we must save Emanou. Somebody brought the cops in. I don't know who fingered him but... Milos looks happy. It's not good. I don't trust your lack of belief. Why?
Because... You're crazy about his guy. I don't understand what's so great about him. On top of that, he's only talking insanities. He told me my eyes are the same as doves and my hair is the same as a flock of goats. My mouth is as a purple line. My neck is as the tower of David and my navel is as a wine filled cup. My breast is the siblings of a gazelle, sleeping in the lilies. It's going to rain. It's going to rain! This guy is awesome. I'll always be the first to stand beside him. The first one is Dila. A lot of firsts will be lasts. And a lot of lasts will be firsts. What's the use for men to win the world? If they win they destroy their own life. I won't be able stay here anymore after the concert. Later... Every time you eat bread, you will think about me. I just heard him! He was sitting at the table with his open-mouthed fans. "I'm not only the voice, the truth, and the life, I'm also love and freedom!", and so on... He's everything! How dares he! And then after, he had a great thought: "The absolute and without ulterior motive, renunciation of violence is the necessary condition to the survival of humanity". He's too much, huh? To be too much is like starting to create, no?
When my dog was watching me sitting still in the shadows, he used to bring me a rabbit's foot. I was tying the foot with a string and making him run. He had strange jumps, it was funny. But one day, he stopped. He stared at me and I understood that he was bored of running and was doing it only to please me. What are you saying? I'm fed up with these parables of yours! Can you explain yourself just one fucking time? What's this dog story? Who is this dog? Is that you? Is that Emanou? I split... Hey! You know what he also said? That he was going to wash their feet! I'm going somewhere else. And I won't be coming back. And he said: "I won't be with you for much longer. You are going to cry, and to feel sorry, as a woman giving birth. But after she gives birth, she will forget the pain. I achieved the work I was supposed to do." I heard they are going to arrest Emanou. No. He's getting ready for the concert. It rained yesterday. I don't want you to touch me anymore. That's something new!
I want to be a virgin for the concert. They're going to send the squads immediately! Not yet. There's more important things down here. And when it'll come, spread it all over, even on the ears! It's the last time. You're going to be sick! Once again! You're lecherous! Lewd! Fodère! Listen to him! Listen to me! It's fucking obvious! What he says is so simple. It's so simple even a five year old kid could understand. Excuse me but, the two concert organizers are here for you. For me? Yes. They fuck so much they don't know what that's all about, anymore. The concert is going to start, you must call the Bunker. We must be ready when Topé fingers him. One more time. Just one more, I swear. Do me the same as last. And press with your thumbs. It's burning me. OK. But it's the last time.
Don't ask me anything after that. Fuck ! Stop that. Have you seen this little prick? What do you want? He's a real pain in the ass, isn't he, Lasca? What? I you want to catch him, it's now or never. I'll go close to him... and I'll kiss him... And he's yours. We'll give you the money only at this moment. Go now. Hey! Listen to me! Hey! Calm down calm down I need to speak. Your Emanou is going to come, to give a forbidden concert. But, don't destroy what belongs to the community, you social misfits. I dreamt... You dream too much, and always about the same thing. Always about the garden of delights. And you spread apart while people stick roses up your arse. Piss off, Fodère. You'll never understand anything. You're not an artist. You're a lout. It's hard to redeem humanity all by yourself. You want me to tell you the truth? Your concert will never happen. And I'm sure they're going to pay me with a rubber cheque.
They'll never understand me. I will be misunderstood. History is going to rip me to shreds. Tiossido and Lasca calling for the Bunker. Can you read me? We have found the place where Emanou is hiding. I'm on my way. Mystical young woman... Always more beautiful... And Emanou said: "You send them prophets and apostles, and they will persecute them. Father, why did you abandon me? The time has come. I'll drink the chalice to the dregs but I'd like it to be quick." Emanou is coming to give his concert! He unveiled all the secret things since the creation of the world. He is the light and the one who'll follow him will leave all darkness. With him, I feel as protected as a little girl under a mushroom. He is our horizon, our dream! They knelt him down and they flagellated him. I fingered the son of man by a kiss. They didn't pay me cash as agreed, but with a rubber cheque. It's my sacrifice that will save them. But they'll never understand. They put a crown of thorns on his head. According to the custom, they could release a prisoner, and there was a famous one, a bandit called Barabal, who invented a torture place called a 'gulag'. Who are you going to save? Barabal or Emanou? Barabal!
Barabal! But he had said: "My kingdom is not of this world." They drew lots for his clothes. This is how what was told was fulfilled, they shared his clothes. And he proclaimed: "Eli Eli, lema sabachtani?" which means: "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?" He left earth and was taken to heaven.

Come on, you're late! - l'll talk to you later. - Fatima! - Why are you late?
- My Rolls got towed away. Don't play, we've got people here. If I gave you $1 ,000,000 would you be mad at me? - Sure! - You would? Still? That's a beautiful dress you've got on. It is. You know, I can see them... Sexy. How about a quarter, as a down payment on that $1 ,000,000? Think I won't keep it? I will keep it. Believe that. I know you will take it. There you go. One, two, three four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Try again from the top. Come on, you're dancing! You love it! OK, once again. Five, six, seven, eight! Look in the mirrors at yourselves. You got attitude. You got strength. Attitude, come on... Molly, watch your line. Be proud!
You're dancers. You love dancing. That's it. We've got potential here. We've got real potential. Any messages? Any messages? - Hey, Tony, how's your love life? - All right. - You know why I order so many drinks? - You're an alcoholic. No. Because I love to watch your walk. - Oooh, oooh! I like that! - Great walk. How are you, Margaret? Freddie, where's my order? Coming up. Some of your groupie friends are here. - Who? - Those friends of yours. - They're acquaintances. - How about sharing the wealth? - Am I your booking agent? - You don't want to share? I don't need your hand-me-downs. - Have you got emotional problems? - You think I need a shrink? - How late are you working tonight?
- Till three. - Want to come over? - Last time, I almost got brain damage. You party too hard. You ought to be a tag team. Good guys are hard to find. Why don't you try the army? - Are we on later? - No, I can't make it. Why not? - Lately, I've been career oriented. - What's that mean? I don't have time for relationships right now. That right? Well, let me tell you something. Guys like you aren't relationships, you're exercise. - Why do you have to go? It's only six. - l want to get something going today. - Don't you want to stay for breakfast? - No, I'm not hungry. - What's wrong? - Nothing. I just want to get something going today. - You will. - l'll see you later. - l'll miss you. - You don't have to say that, Jackie. I know I don't. I'm a dancer by nature. I studied for four years and now I teach.
- But I'm very available for TV work. - No. Good day. Acting roles... I do dramatic parts. I can do comedy roles. I'd consider doing a soap opera or even a roadshow, a musical of some sort. I would consider doing a print ad. If you're looking for the outdoor type, I'm good at some sports, like weightlifting and stickball and push-ups, and... lf absolutely necessary, I don't mind doing any kind of extra work. Except I promised my mother I'd never do any nudity. I guess she's afraid that I might get a cold. But the fact still is, I'm a dancer by nature. Whatever. Yeah, whatever. It's like you're invisible. They make you feel like you're wasting your time. What's really weird is that they all sound like my father used to. Why be down on yourself? You know what you can do. - What about you? - What about me? You've been doing choruses for six years. Don't you want to do something that's all you? - lf it happens, good. lf not, too bad. - How could you think that way? A woman's dancing career is half as long as a man's. So I have half as many chances as you of making it. - l've got to be real with myself. - l don't know, I guess so. Mm...cherry.
- See you later. - Will you come tonight? - lt's the last show. - l don't think I can make it. - Why the excuses? - What excuses? Don't play this competition thing with me. Just because you're in a show and I'm not, that ain't competition. - Well, what is it? - Envy! Will you be there? Got any messages? It's an inside joke. - Tony! - Hey, Jackie! You were great! - Are you sure? - l'm positive. You was fantastic. - l was nervous knowing you were here. - You shouldn't have been. - Are you sure I was OK? - You were great. - l'll change. Will you wait? - Yeah. - l'll meet you outside. - Sure, why not? Hi. Yes?
I wanted to tell you I think you're an incredible dancer. Thank you very much. I'm a friend of Jackie Coll's. Tony Manero. - lt's important to have friends. - l was saying that over breakfast. Did you want something? An autograph, or something? I'd like to get together and talk some time. Would that be possible? - About what? - About how incredible you are. - Thank you, but I already know that. - Say what? I already know. I used to be incredible myself when I lived in Brooklyn. - Really? What happened? - l moved to Manhattan. So, where exactly are you imported from? The vicinity of England? - Very good. - See? I know. - So what do you do? - l'm sort of into telling the future. - Great things will happen for you. - Oh, really? What great things? You're going to meet this really, really sensitive, nice type of guy.
Once you get to know him, you're going to be crazy about him. - l am? - Yeah! So where is he? I'll go get him. You just wait here. You'll love him. He's great. Hey, Rico! She's waiting to see you. Really! Come on, she's great! Really! No, I'll get him. I got her here. She's nice. No problem. You'll love her. Come on... Wait! Well, come on. - lt didn't happen. - Imported, indeed! - How are you doing? - Strong draught in there, huh? - Come in. - You nearly broke my face with the door. I'm giving you my best come-ons and you try to mangle my face. - Well, Jimmy, you see... - Tony!
Whatever. You seem to take pleasure in treating women as incredibly stupid. If you're mad at me, I apologise. I thought I was being charming. You did try to damage my head. But the thing is that I... I amazingly respect your dancing talent. And your womanhood. I didn't always respect womanhood, but since I moved to Manhattan, I got this new, mature outlook. I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't curse. Anyway, I would like to take you out. Maybe we could have a drink, maybe have some dinner. And... But someplace informal, because my suits are all being pressed. Well, thank you but I have to go home early tonight. - We're auditioning for the new show. - Are you in it? - Definitely. Are you a dancer? - Yeah, couldn't you tell? Oh, of course. Why don't you come by tomorrow? - l could put in a good word for you. - No, don't do that. Please. I really don't need any help in that department. - OK. - Are you sure you can't go out tonight? Sorry. Well, if I don't see you any more, nice meeting you and being insulted by you. My pleasure. - Aren't you coming tomorrow?
- l knew you wanted to see me again. Taxi! - Want to eat? - l got to get to the club. - Why do you work at that club? - Extra money. - There's an audition tomorrow. - l told you a week ago. - Really? - Yeah. You'll audition, won't you? Why not? Rejection's a hobby now. Oh, listen to you! Small world, isn't it? Goodnight. - Goodnight. - Goodnight. Do you know her? - Just informally. - How did you meet her? She was passing. I said she was an OK dancer. You told her she's OK! - Something to that effect. - She's a great dancer! - Whose is the limo? - l think it belongs to her. - She comes from money. - Really?
is she heavily involved with someone? What do you mean? Has she got a lot of guys drooling over her? I don't want to hear if you're hot over somebody. I just respect her dancing. Did you hear the way she talks? It's so intelligent. I love it. An accent doesn't make you intelligent. If it did, you'd be Einstein. Jackie, I'm not trying to make you jealous. You're a good dancer. - What can I say? - Don't play these games. - What games? - l'll see you tomorrow. Come on, I don't even know her! Are you sure you don't want something to eat? Manero, you've got a way with words! Very good. Excellent! Just in case you've got to hear it again, it's whoever's right for the show. Michelle, Tracy... Smitty... Karen, yes... Sorry. Jackie, you worked real hard. Yes. - OK, that's it. Next group! - OK, men please!
- Hi, I'm Joy. - l'm happiness. I bet you are. I'm the assistant choreographer. Any questions regarding the routine, please ask me now. Listen up! This time, try the whole combination right through to the end. If I don't see you again, you got beautiful legs. - So do you. - Listen up! If you've finished dancing, move off stage! You're always causing trouble. Get out of here! OK, now get ready. Joy, count it down. OK, music! That's good. That's enough, thank you. We need pictures, résumés, phone numbers. We'll get back to you. You were all excellent, but I only need two. Thank you. Hello, Jimmy. - lt's Tony! - Oh, whatever. - l know what you must be thinking. - Do you? They'll call. Don't worry. Whatever.
- You were very good. - Thank you. - l mean it. - Really? - Yeah. - Sounds like you appreciated me. Yes, you could say that. - Could I ask you something? - What? If you appreciate me and I appreciate you, how about getting together and we could appreciate each other? - Appreciate? - Yeah, like for many hours. I have a singing lesson I'll have to cancel. That's all right. I got a dance class I'd have to cancel. And then I'd have to cancel my manicure. I'd have to cancel my meeting with the mayor. And then I'd have to cancel my yoga class. That's all right. I'd have to cancel my brain operation. Do you think that's a good idea? Laura, are you rich or something? I told you, it isn't important. - Why? is it some secret? - lt's just furniture. Come on! You'd have to work 1 0 shows to afford this. Oh, shush. - Look, we had a good time. - What?
Did I miss something here? I changed the subject. We had a good night. We had a great night. Great night. I want to tell you something. You don't know me well. And with my past, I don't respect many people. - But I do respect you. - Oh. Thank you. And when you dance, oh, man, I could watch you for hours. Really! - lt's like watching smoke move. - l know. It's like you've done something with your life. You're significant. I think it's time we said goodnight. - What's wrong? - Nothing! It's just 3.00. - And I've got to rehearse tomorrow. - Are you serious? - Yeah. - Definitely? - Yeah. - Oh, no, this is a flash. You can't... - l've never been asked to leave. - Don't take it personally.
- l've got to! There's nobody else here! - That's true. Well... Definitely? This is it? I mean, tonight, it's over, that's it? Oh, no! Oh, Tony, you don't think that, do you? Do you? It's just until tomorrow. - Hello? - Jackie! Tony? Where are you? I'm making sure the streets are safe for women and children. - Somebody`s got to do it. - Are you OK? - Great! Are you alone? - What? Are you alone? is there a vacancy next to you? - There's a vacancy. Why? - l was just curious. Why are you up so late? A professional should watch her health. I'll see you tomorrow if I don't drown. That boy is strange.
Ring. Don't touch that phone! Get off! Yes! Yes, this is Tony Manero. Are you kidding? Hold on a second... Turn down the radio! I got it? You're kidding? - That boy is crazy. - When do I start? What time? Where? All right! Thank you! Thank you! I'll be there! Way to go, Manero! - Hello? - Ma. Tony! Well, it's about time I hear from you. Guess what? I got a job on Broadway! You got a job on Broadway? Doing what? - Dancing! Don't you remember I dance? - No nudity, I hope!
Keep your clothes on. You hear me? - You hear me? - Come on, come off it. - How are you doing? - l'm all right, I'm fine! OK. I'll call you later and tell you all the details. OK, bye-bye. I love youse. I got to change my residence. I hope we never change lf you feel the same Time will make us so much stronger You give it all to me I give it back to you We give our love to one another Waking up with my eyes open wide Waking up, you`re still sleeping by my side You`ve been the heart of me You`ve been the one You spoke so soft and tenderly You spoke so soft and tenderly You pulled the soul from under me You bring it out from under me You bring me love, now can`t you see You bring it out from under me You`ll get it all for free - Hi! - You're doing great. Oh, thanks. Congratulations! I heard you're in the show! - Things are happening.
- Yeah. Are you going to work now? Yeah, I've got to give in my notice. You didn't put in a word for me with the director? - No! - l got this on my own? - Yes. - Really? - Really! - All right! That singer and you were harmonising a little too well. - He's just a friend. - Why is he staring at you like that? - Come on, Tony, don't. - No, really. - He's staring at you. - What is wrong with you? I don't know. I just don't like guys like that. - You are crazy tonight. - Maybe I'm feeling a little emotional. - Meet me after work? - Yeah, two o'clock. - OK. I'll see you at two. - You got a commitment. Waking up with my eyes open wide Waking up, you`re still sleeping by my side Waking up with my eyes open wide Waking up, you`re still sleeping Waking, waking, waking up
Hello. lt's very cold. - Laura! - Tony! - How are you doing? - l'm fine. But you look like you're freezing. - No, no. - We all set? Mark, this is Tony. Tony was just hired to be in the show. Good. - Would you like a drink? - l've got to be going. All right, I'll see you at rehearsals then, and get out of the cold before you crack. Nice meeting you. Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four. That's it. Relax! We have a conceptual interpretation problem, which is easy to overcome if you forget that you're dancers working for a couple of bucks. You're translators of body language. That's all dancing is: body language. So don't waste my time going through the motions of emotions. You got to feel what the hell you're doing. The show's called "Satan's Alley". It's a journey through hell. It ends with an ascent to heaven.
It's simple, but if it's going to work, you've got to bust your asses! - l didn't say anything. - But I... Shoot me. Shoot me twice. - lt's all right, really. - l got hung up. What can I say? You don't have to say anything. When you say that, I know you want me to say something. - OK, what do you want to talk about? - l don't know. What about you? It's the lovers, the young lovers. - l've got to get going. - l'll give you a call later, all right? I'll call you later. If you're really her friend, do her a favour. - What? - Teach her to dance. There's nothing wrong with her dancing. I really like her, too. But she's ordinary. - But you're very good. - Where are you coming from? - ls something wrong? - l don't like being led on. - Who's leading you on? - l call you up, you're not home! Then I wait all night for you and you bring some guy home with you.
- Are you talking to me? - Did what we did mean nothing? - lt was nice. - Nice, everyday! Like breakfast? I usually skip breakfast. Look, I'll see you later. - l'm talking to you! - l said later. - Come here! - Take your bloody hands off me! Do you think I'm some little groupie? We met, I liked you, we made it. What do you think it was? True love? You think I used you! What about you using me? Everybody uses everybody, don't they? Hold it, hold it! - What's this? - l thought we decided to go downstage. True, but then I changed it to the upstage position. It was better going downstage. - Was it? - Much better. I'll tell you what's even better: you learn the routine the way I laid it out! - Again. - And...five, six, seven, eight. - What if I come over about nine? - How do I know you'll show?
- Come on! - Are you sure you'll be there? - Definitely. We'll go out. - What, Christmas carolling? How did you know? All right! I'll see you later. - No talking to strangers. - Nobody's stranger than you. See you. Tony. I'm having a few friends around tonight. A pre-Christmas party. Like to come? Didn't we just have a fight? We didn't have a fight, Tony, you did. I hope that's all resolved and I'd like to see you. - What time? - Oh, ten-ish. - l don't know. - Consider yourself officially invited. - Whose limo is this? - l'll see you about ten. Bye. Whose limo is this? Anybody know whose limo this is? You know, I don't care if I ever get a message. - Where to? - Laura Revell's place, where else? Are you expected?
To do what? I was wondering where you were. You look nice. - You do, too. - Thank you. What would you like to drink? We have champagne, wine, whisky... - l don't believe this. - What? - Now you're with the director. - l'm not with anybody. - Haven't you learnt anything? - What do you mean? Are we in school? Why don't we go out on the balcony? There's an awfully nice view of New York. Come on. If you want to leave, that's your choice. Maybe you had better go. - What's your problem? - What? Do you think you can play with people? Do you? Oh, look, Tony. I'm not playing with anyone. I invited you because I think you're interesting. Most people here are interesting. - Why be upset? There are pretty girls. - l came to be with you! And I'm expecting someone else.
Why did we even start this thing up, huh? Start? Look, you came to me, remember? - You did nothing? It was just me. - Whatever. Anyway, I'm freezing out here. If nothing else, you'll have an interesting chapter for your diary. You know the way out. Merry Christmas. I can`t take all the blame now, can I? It takes more than one to lose such a fine line That lies between but holds together Hearts in the night Touch at a time And l`m finding out the hard way lt`s going to take some tears A little bit of heartache We`re like islands in the stream Watching all our dreams start to fade Fading away A moment gone is gone forever lt`s like water through your hands And you spin the wheel of misfortune Watching it turn You live and you learn I keep reaching out And come up empty-handed When did I let you down? Or did I leave you stranded? And l`m finding out the hard way lt`s going to take some tears A little bit of heartache And we`re like islands in the stream
Watching all our dreams start to fade Fading away Start to fade Fading away Start to fade Fading away Fade away - Jackie, I'm sorry. - l don't want to see you tonight. I just forgot to call you. I'm really sorry. I know, but you can't treat me like this any more. - l won't. - l can't always be second choice. - You're not. - l am, and you know I am. I promise it'll never happen again. Yes, it will. It will if I let it. Do you know how many times you've done this to me? I love you so much, Tony. Don't you know that? You keep treating me like this. - What can I say to you? I... - Nothing. You don't have to say anything. I'll be your friend, but no more than that. - Can I get you something else? - No, I'm full.
- Have another piece of pie. - No, really, I'm full now, Mom. Come on, have another piece. I made it special. OK, the hell with it, then. Put it away, have it for lunch, who knows? You know, it's weird... This house seems so much smaller than when I used to live in it. What do you mean, smaller? You know, the opposite of bigger. Smaller. I mean, what do you want me to do? What do you want, stretch it? I was just making an observation, that's all. Tony, why did you come today? - l've got a lot of things on my mind. - Like what? What things? The way I used to act around here. I was very hard on you. And I just wanted to say it's not me, all right? That wasn't me. - Are you kidding me? - No, I'm apologising to you. Apologising for what? Are you saying that wasn't the real you back then? Yeah. I had a lot of attitude and I just didn't like it... - l don't believe this. - Believe it!
I don't believe it! And don't get fresh with me! This attitude you're talking about... That's what got you out of this damn neighbourhood. You don't need to apologise. You must have done something right. So you're saying I've always been this bastard, but it's all right because it comes natural to me? - Something like that. - Yeah? Yeah! Yeah. Double yeah. I'll have another piece of this pie. It's very good. Better than stuff I get in New York. I bought you a ticket for the show. 26 bucks. I'm a hot shot now. Lay back, Butler. Extend! Extend! Enough! Maybe it's me, Butler. Maybe I'm not getting across what I want. You still ticklish, huh? What I want is a much more forceful type movement. - lt's a very sensual show, Butler. - Right. So, let's try to be sensual. Try it.
You might like it. Once again. - What do you think? - She's good. - What about him? - He's good, but he's too mechanical. - What are you doing later? - l've got commitments. - You do? - Yeah, I do. - You don't. - You don't think I have other plans? - No. - Well, you're wrong. - l can tell when you're lying. - How? - How can you tell when I'm lying? - Who's your commitment with? I'll never tell. I'll go out with you. - Excuse me? - The three of us. Oh, you're sick. You are sick. No, really, later? I don't know what you did, but she hates me. - l didn't do nothing. - Come on, Tony, stop lying. I mean, it's becoming a regular thing with you. - That bad, huh?
- That bad. - So what are we doing here? - l wanted to ask you a favour. - What favour? - Could you meet me here tonight? - No, I don't think I can. - l will owe you for life if you do. I know I treat you bad and I got terrible manners. But so did the people I grew up with. Some of it rubs off. There's a gentleman inside here dying to get out. Really. Come on, would you? Please. How about it? - OK. - Thank you. You're welcome. - l didn't think you were showing up. - l'm sorry. The show ran late. - Tony, you remember Carl. Carl, Tony. - How are you doing? - l need to ask you something. - Me, too. That guy's a musician. I didn't think you was the musician type. - He plays rhythm guitar at the club. - Rhythm guitar? That's the worst!
Everybody knows you can't trust a guy who plays rhythm guitar. Underneath the curls, he's a pervert. I can feel it. Did you take funny pills today? - How did you get in here? - The window. - You amaze me. - l don't like him. - Looks like a demented paratrooper. - He is just a friend! - Listen, thanks, Carl. - ls everything all right? - Fine. She's in good hands. - Are you Allstate, pal? - Yeah, you want disability? - l'll see you Wednesday. - All right. Goodnight. - Goodnight. Did you see how you said goodnight to him? Oh, great! No, how did I say it? It was like syrup. I got a cavity just listening to it. What are we doing here? I want to... I want to try Butler's routine. I want to ask Jesse to have a shot at replacing him. - You're kidding?
- No. You think I can do it? - l think so. - Well...do you want to help me? - l think so. - Let's go. - l think you're a little jealous. - No way. - Walk you home? - No, it's OK. - Sure? - Positive. Thanks anyway. All right. Thanks a lot, Jackie. You're welcome. Goodnight. Hey, Jackie! Remember I mentioned a gentleman that was anxious to get out? - Well, he'd like to walk you home. - OK. You're lucky. This neighbourhood is dangerous. - You didn't give that musician a key? - No! - Did you? - No! Just checking. - So what do you think? - No, it's what you think.
- You think I ought to try it? - You've got the routine. - But is it good enough? - Yeah. - ls it? - Yeah. Well... Goodnight. Goodnight, Jackie. Hey, Jackie, wait a minute. I want to say something to you, but it's really hard because... I'm just not used to saying nice things to you. I think we had something really comfortable, right. Something really...really nice. And I was thinking that I was really... The way I acted towards you was really wrong. I don't want to lose you. I feel really comfortable with you and I was thinking that if you feel the same way, and I feel the same thing for you, then maybe we could get back together. I love you, Jackie. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Three, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. - Two, two, three, four... - Hold it, hold it! Take a break. - lt's not me, is it? - Nope. You're fine. - l think I can do it. - Do what?
- You're being unreasonable! - l won't jeopardise my career... - Nor will I. - He's an amateur! - l want you to try it with him! - You've been taken in... I haven't. Now try it, and keep your personal feelings out of it! Let's go. OK. - Butler, sit this one out. - What do you mean? - You know. - l don't! Sure, you do! Manero! You know the first combination. Music. is this a dance or a bloody circus? - Forget it, man! - Too right! What are you looking at? - Wait! - l don't want to talk about it. Don't walk out and expect to come back! - ls that right? - You walk out now, you're over! - What would you do? - l'm not the one who's on the line. - l don't want anybody laughing at me! - Who are you, somebody special?
I give you a chance for a Broadway lead and you walk out! - Who cares? - Nobody has to care! I don't have to care about you, or you about me. If you want to dance here, you follow my rules! It's not a democracy! You are not the greatest dancer to hit Broadway! You have anger and intensity. That's what I need to make this show work. You think you're so terrific you'll score another show? The best thing that you ever scored is Laura. But you blew that because you're different kinds of people. You're never going to change that. If you had half a brain, you'd stop trying to change other people and start worrying about changing yourself! - Everyone uses everyone, don't they? - Go to hell, Manero! Who cares, man? All right, starting positions. And...five, six, seven, eight. - One, two, three, four, five... - Hold it! - Butler, would you mind? - This is bullshit! - Count it down. - And five, six, seven, eight. Again! Yes! Again, Tony, again! Five minutes! Five minutes!
Five minutes! Full house, kids. How are you feeling? I just want to tell you one thing. When you step out there, remember you're not one of them. You dance for them. Don't dance for yourself, Tony. The show will work, you'll be terrific. - You warmed up? - Yep. - Break a leg. - Thanks a lot. How about you, warmed up? How do you feel? - Nervous. - Of course you are. You look good. You know what I need? Another week. You're going to be great! I've got to go. All right. My son is in this show. In case you didn't know. He's a dancer, my son. He's very good. Spots four and five, standing by. Standing room only, guys. How are we doing? We're ready.
- Black out the curtain warmers. - Curtain warmers to black. - They're out. - Give me a white spot. Spot is go. Hang on there, Manero, hang on. Perfect! Go to black! You bastard! Why don't you teach him some manners? - How is the show going? - Great. How's your eye? - How was that last scene? - Wonderful. Honey, you were great. - But why did you have to kiss her? - Oh, God, that didn't mean nothing. Jesus. Good luck! - Manero! What are you doing out there? - l'm dancing. That's a personal war you're having! Out there, you two are dancers. You want to fight, do it on your own time! The show is the thing, not you! - You remember that! - l'll remember that. Tony!
Tony! I wanted to apologise for this. - l don't know what came over me. - lt was nothing. Forget it. - Could we get together after the show? - Why? I just want to talk, clear things up. I've got other commitments. Oh, Tony! - Just one more thing. - What? You don't have it. Come on, let's go! Tony! What are you doing? Put me down! I didn't tell him to do a solo! Come on! Come on! - Come on! - l can't! Jump! Jump! Damn it! Come on! Where did he learn to do this? Excuse me. Excuse me. Goodnight.
Got to go! - Where are you going? - lf l don't get out, I'll explode. - Are you sure you don't want to stay? - l can't. I want you to know I could have never done this tonight without knowing you. - Do you know what I want to do? - What? Strut! english One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Back, two, three... Really stretch it... three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Keep going. Tony... - What happened? - Typical. - What do you mean? - l turned them down. - Come on. What happened really? - Tony! Come on, you're late! - l'll talk to you later. - Fatima! - Why are you late?
- My Rolls got towed away. Don't play, we've got people here. If I gave you $1,000,000 would you be mad at me? - Sure! - You would? Still? That's a beautiful dress you've got on. It is. You know, I can see them... Sexy. How about a quarter, as a down payment on that $1,000,000? Think I won't keep it? I will keep it. Believe that. I know you will take it. There you go. One, two, three four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Try again from the top. Come on, you're dancing! You love it! OK, once again. Five, six, seven, eight! Look in the mirrors at yourselves. You got attitude. You got strength. Attitude, come on... Molly, watch your line. Be proud!
You're dancers. You love dancing. That's it. We've got potential here. We've got real potential. Any messages? Any messages? - Hey, Tony, how's your love life? - All right. - You know why I order so many drinks? - You're an alcoholic. No. Because I love to watch your walk. - Oooh, oooh! I like that! - Great walk. How are you, Margaret? Freddie, where's my order? Coming up. Some of your groupie friends are here. - Who? - Those friends of yours. - They're acquaintances. - How about sharing the wealth? - Am I your booking agent? - You don't want to share? I don't need your hand-me-downs. - Have you got emotional problems? - You think I need a shrink? - How late are you working tonight?
- Till three. - Want to come over? - Last time, I almost got brain damage. You party too hard. You ought to be a tag team. Good guys are hard to find. Why don't you try the army? - Are we on later? - No, I can't make it. Why not? - Lately, I've been career oriented. - What's that mean? I don't have time for relationships right now. That right? Well, let me tell you something. Guys like you aren't relationships, you're exercise. - Why do you have to go? It's only six. - l want to get something going today. - Don't you want to stay for breakfast? - No, I'm not hungry. - What's wrong? - Nothing. I just want to get something going today. - You will. - l'll see you later. - l'll miss you. - You don't have to say that, Jackie. I know I don't. I'm a dancer by nature. I studied for four years and now I teach.
- But I'm very available for TV work. - No. Good day. Acting roles... I do dramatic parts. I can do comedy roles. I'd consider doing a soap opera or even a roadshow, a musical of some sort. I would consider doing a print ad. If you're looking for the outdoor type, I'm good at some sports, like weightlifting and stickball and push-ups, and... lf absolutely necessary, I don't mind doing any kind of extra work. Except I promised my mother I'd never do any nudity. I guess she's afraid that I might get a cold. But the fact still is, I'm a dancer by nature. Whatever. Yeah, whatever. It's like you're invisible. They make you feel like you're wasting your time. What's really weird is that they all sound like my father used to. Why be down on yourself? You know what you can do. - What about you? - What about me? You've been doing choruses for six years. Don't you want to do something that's all you? - lf it happens, good. lf not, too bad. - How could you think that way? A woman's dancing career is half as long as a man's. So I have half as many chances as you of making it. - l've got to be real with myself. - l don't know, I guess so. Mm... cherry.
- See you later. - Will you come tonight? - lt's the last show. - l don't think I can make it. - Why the excuses? - What excuses? Don't play this competition thing with me. Just because you're in a show and I'm not, that ain't competition. - Well, what is it? - Envy! Will you be there? Got any messages? It's an inside joke. - Tony! - Hey, Jackie! You were great! - Are you sure? - l'm positive. You was fantastic. - l was nervous knowing you were here. - You shouldn't have been. - Are you sure I was OK? - You were great. - l'll change. Will you wait? - Yeah. - l'll meet you outside. - Sure, why not? Hi. Yes?
I wanted to tell you I think you're an incredible dancer. Thank you very much. I'm a friend of Jackie Coll's. Tony Manero. - lt's important to have friends. - l was saying that over breakfast. Did you want something? An autograph, or something? I'd like to get together and talk some time. Would that be possible? - About what? - About how incredible you are. - Thank you, but I already know that. - Say what? I already know. I used to be incredible myself when I lived in Brooklyn. - Really? What happened? - l moved to Manhattan. So, where exactly are you imported from? The vicinity of England? - Very good. - See? I know. - So what do you do? - l'm sort of into telling the future. - Great things will happen for you. - Oh, really? What great things? You're going to meet this really, really sensitive, nice type of guy.
Once you get to know him, you're going to be crazy about him. - l am? - Yeah! So where is he? I'll go get him. You just wait here. You'll love him. He's great. Hey, Rico! She's waiting to see you. Really! Come on, she's great! Really! No, I'll get him. I got her here. She's nice. No problem. You'll love her. Come on... Wait! Well, come on. - lt didn't happen. - Imported, indeed! - How are you doing? - Strong draught in there, huh? - Come in. - You nearly broke my face with the door. I'm giving you my best come-ons and you try to mangle my face. - Well, Jimmy, you see... - Tony!
Whatever. You seem to take pleasure in treating women as incredibly stupid. If you're mad at me, I apologise. I thought I was being charming. You did try to damage my head. But the thing is that I... I amazingly respect your dancing talent. And your womanhood. I didn't always respect womanhood, but since I moved to Manhattan, I got this new, mature outlook. I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't curse. Anyway, I would like to take you out. Maybe we could have a drink, maybe have some dinner. And... But someplace informal, because my suits are all being pressed. Well, thank you but I have to go home early tonight. - We're auditioning for the new show. - Are you in it? - Definitely. Are you a dancer? - Yeah, couldn't you tell? Oh, of course. Why don't you come by tomorrow? - l could put in a good word for you. - No, don't do that. Please. I really don't need any help in that department. - OK. - Are you sure you can't go out tonight? Sorry. Well, if I don't see you any more, nice meeting you and being insulted by you. My pleasure. - Aren't you coming tomorrow?
- l knew you wanted to see me again. Taxi! - Want to eat? - l got to get to the club. - Why do you work at that club? - Extra money. - There's an audition tomorrow. - l told you a week ago. - Really? - Yeah. You'll audition, won't you? Why not? Rejection's a hobby now. Oh, listen to you! Small world, isn't it? Goodnight. - Goodnight. - Goodnight. Do you know her? - Just informally. - How did you meet her? She was passing. I said she was an OK dancer. You told her she's OK! - Something to that effect. - She's a great dancer! - Whose is the limo? - l think it belongs to her. - She comes from money. - Really?
is she heavily involved with someone? What do you mean? Has she got a lot of guys drooling over her? I don't want to hear if you're hot over somebody. I just respect her dancing. Did you hear the way she talks? It's so intelligent. I love it. An accent doesn't make you intelligent. If it did, you'd be Einstein. Jackie, I'm not trying to make you jealous. You're a good dancer. - What can I say? - Don't play these games. - What games? - l'll see you tomorrow. Come on, I don't even know her! Are you sure you don't want something to eat? Manero, you've got a way with words! Very good. Excellent! Just in case you've got to hear it again, it's whoever's right for the show. Michelle, Tracy... Smitty... Karen, yes... Sorry. Jackie, you worked real hard. Yes. - OK, that's it. Next group! - OK, men please!
- Hi, I'm Joy. - l'm happiness. I bet you are. I'm the assistant choreographer. Any questions regarding the routine, please ask me now. Listen up! This time, try the whole combination right through to the end. If I don't see you again, you got beautiful legs. - So do you. - Listen up! If you've finished dancing, move off stage! You're always causing trouble. Get out of here! OK, now get ready. Joy, count it down. OK, music! That's good. That's enough, thank you. We need pictures, résumés, phone numbers. We'll get back to you. You were all excellent, but I only need two. Thank you. Hello, Jimmy. - lt's Tony! - Oh, whatever. - l know what you must be thinking. - Do you? They'll call. Don't worry. Whatever.
- You were very good. - Thank you. - l mean it. - Really? - Yeah. - Sounds like you appreciated me. Yes, you could say that. - Could I ask you something? - What? If you appreciate me and I appreciate you, how about getting together and we could appreciate each other? - Appreciate? - Yeah, like for many hours. I have a singing lesson I'll have to cancel. That's all right. I got a dance class I'd have to cancel. And then I'd have to cancel my manicure. I'd have to cancel my meeting with the mayor. And then I'd have to cancel my yoga class. That's all right. I'd have to cancel my brain operation. Do you think that's a good idea? Laura, are you rich or something? I told you, it isn't important. - Why? is it some secret? - lt's just furniture. Come on! You'd have to work 1 0 shows to afford this. Oh, shush. - Look, we had a good time. - What?
Did I miss something here? I changed the subject. We had a good night. We had a great night. Great night. I want to tell you something. You don't know me well. And with my past, I don't respect many people. - But I do respect you. - Oh. Thank you. And when you dance, oh, man, I could watch you for hours. Really! - lt's like watching smoke move. - l know. It's like you've done something with your life. You're significant. I think it's time we said goodnight. - What's wrong? - Nothing! It's just 3.00. - And I've got to rehearse tomorrow. - Are you serious? - Yeah. - Definitely? - Yeah. - Oh, no, this is a flash. You can't... - l've never been asked to leave. - Don't take it personally.
- l've got to! There's nobody else here! - That's true. Well... Definitely? This is it? I mean, tonight, it's over, that's it? Oh, no! Oh, Tony, you don't think that, do you? Do you? It's just until tomorrow. - Hello? - Jackie! Tony? Where are you? I'm making sure the streets are safe for women and children. - Somebody`s got to do it. - Are you OK? - Great! Are you alone? - What? Are you alone? is there a vacancy next to you? - There's a vacancy. Why? - l was just curious. Why are you up so late? A professional should watch her health. I'll see you tomorrow if I don't drown. That boy is strange.
Ring. Don't touch that phone! Get off! Yes! Yes, this is Tony Manero. Are you kidding? Hold on a second... Turn down the radio! I got it? You're kidding? - That boy is crazy. - When do I start? What time? Where? All right! Thank you! Thank you! I'll be there! Way to go, Manero! - Hello? - Ma. Tony! Well, it's about time I hear from you. Guess what? I got a job on Broadway! You got a job on Broadway? Doing what? - Dancing! Don't you remember I dance? - No nudity, I hope!
Keep your clothes on. You hear me? - You hear me? - Come on, come off it. - How are you doing? - l'm all right, I'm fine! OK. I'll call you later and tell you all the details. OK, bye-bye. I love youse. I got to change my residence. I hope we never change lf you feel the same Time will make us so much stronger You give it all to me I give it back to you We give our love to one another Waking up with my eyes open wide Waking up, you`re still sleeping by my side You`ve been the heart of me You`ve been the one You spoke so soft and tenderly You spoke so soft and tenderly You pulled the soul from under me You bring it out from under me You bring me love, now can`t you see You bring it out from under me You`ll get it all for free - Hi! - You're doing great. Oh, thanks. Congratulations! I heard you're in the show! - Things are happening.
- Yeah. Are you going to work now? Yeah, I've got to give in my notice. You didn't put in a word for me with the director? - No! - l got this on my own? - Yes. - Really? - Really! - All right! That singer and you were harmonising a little too well. - He's just a friend. - Why is he staring at you like that? - Come on, Tony, don't. - No, really. - He's staring at you. - What is wrong with you? I don't know. I just don't like guys like that. - You are crazy tonight. - Maybe I'm feeling a little emotional. - Meet me after work? - Yeah, two o'clock. - OK. I'll see you at two. - You got a commitment. Waking up with my eyes open wide Waking up, you`re still sleeping by my side Waking up with my eyes open wide Waking up, you`re still sleeping Waking, waking, waking up
Hello. lt's very cold. - Laura! - Tony! - How are you doing? - l'm fine. But you look like you're freezing. - No, no. - We all set? Mark, this is Tony. Tony was just hired to be in the show. Good. - Would you like a drink? - l've got to be going. All right, I'll see you at rehearsals then, and get out of the cold before you crack. Nice meeting you. Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four. That's it. Relax! We have a conceptual interpretation problem, which is easy to overcome if you forget that you're dancers working for a couple of bucks. You're translators of body language. That's all dancing is: body language. So don't waste my time going through the motions of emotions. You got to feel what the hell you're doing. The show's called "Satan's Alley". It's a journey through hell. It ends with an ascent to heaven.
It's simple, but if it's going to work, you've got to bust your asses! - l didn't say anything. - But I... Shoot me. Shoot me twice. - lt's all right, really. - l got hung up. What can I say? You don't have to say anything. When you say that, I know you want me to say something. - OK, what do you want to talk about? - l don't know. What about you? It's the lovers, the young lovers. - l've got to get going. - l'll give you a call later, all right? I'll call you later. If you're really her friend, do her a favour. - What? - Teach her to dance. There's nothing wrong with her dancing. I really like her, too. But she's ordinary. - But you're very good. - Where are you coming from? - ls something wrong? - l don't like being led on. - Who's leading you on? - l call you up, you're not home! Then I wait all night for you and you bring some guy home with you.
- Are you talking to me? - Did what we did mean nothing? - lt was nice. - Nice, everyday! Like breakfast? I usually skip breakfast. Look, I'll see you later. - l'm talking to you! - l said later. - Come here! - Take your bloody hands off me! Do you think I'm some little groupie? We met, I liked you, we made it. What do you think it was? True love? You think I used you! What about you using me? Everybody uses everybody, don't they? Hold it, hold it! - What's this? - l thought we decided to go downstage. True, but then I changed it to the upstage position. It was better going downstage. - Was it? - Much better. I'll tell you what's even better: you learn the routine the way I laid it out! - Again. - And... five, six, seven, eight. - What if I come over about nine? - How do I know you'll show?
- Come on! - Are you sure you'll be there? - Definitely. We'll go out. - What, Christmas carolling? How did you know? All right! I'll see you later. - No talking to strangers. - Nobody's stranger than you. See you. Tony. I'm having a few friends around tonight. A pre-Christmas party. Like to come? Didn't we just have a fight? We didn't have a fight, Tony, you did. I hope that's all resolved and I'd like to see you. - What time? - Oh, ten-ish. - l don't know. - Consider yourself officially invited. - Whose limo is this? - l'll see you about ten. Bye. Whose limo is this? Anybody know whose limo this is? You know, I don't care if I ever get a message. - Where to? - Laura Revell's place, where else? Are you expected?
To do what? I was wondering where you were. You look nice. - You do, too. - Thank you. What would you like to drink? We have champagne, wine, whisky... - l don't believe this. - What? - Now you're with the director. - l'm not with anybody. - Haven't you learnt anything? - What do you mean? Are we in school? Why don't we go out on the balcony? There's an awfully nice view of New York. Come on. If you want to leave, that's your choice. Maybe you had better go. - What's your problem? - What? Do you think you can play with people? Do you? Oh, look, Tony. I'm not playing with anyone. I invited you because I think you're interesting. Most people here are interesting. - Why be upset? There are pretty girls. - l came to be with you! And I'm expecting someone else.
Why did we even start this thing up, huh? Start? Look, you came to me, remember? - You did nothing? It was just me. - Whatever. Anyway, I'm freezing out here. If nothing else, you'll have an interesting chapter for your diary. You know the way out. Merry Christmas. I can`t take all the blame now, can I? It takes more than one to lose such a fine line That lies between but holds together Hearts in the night Touch at a time And l`m finding out the hard way lt`s going to take some tears A little bit of heartache We`re like islands in the stream Watching all our dreams start to fade Fading away A moment gone is gone forever lt`s like water through your hands And you spin the wheel of misfortune Watching it turn You live and you learn I keep reaching out And come up empty-handed When did I let you down? Or did I leave you stranded? And l`m finding out the hard way lt`s going to take some tears A little bit of heartache And we`re like islands in the stream
Watching all our dreams start to fade Fading away Start to fade Fading away Start to fade Fading away Fade away - Jackie, I'm sorry. - l don't want to see you tonight. I just forgot to call you. I'm really sorry. I know, but you can't treat me like this any more. - l won't. - l can't always be second choice. - You're not. - l am, and you know I am. I promise it'll never happen again. Yes, it will. It will if I let it. Do you know how many times you've done this to me? I love you so much, Tony. Don't you know that? You keep treating me like this. - What can I say to you? I... - Nothing. You don't have to say anything. I'll be your friend, but no more than that. - Can I get you something else? - No, I'm full.
- Have another piece of pie. - No, really, I'm full now, Mom. Come on, have another piece. I made it special. OK, the hell with it, then. Put it away, have it for lunch, who knows? You know, it's weird... This house seems so much smaller than when I used to live in it. What do you mean, smaller? You know, the opposite of bigger. Smaller. I mean, what do you want me to do? What do you want, stretch it? I was just making an observation, that's all. Tony, why did you come today? - l've got a lot of things on my mind. - Like what? What things? The way I used to act around here. I was very hard on you. And I just wanted to say it's not me, all right? That wasn't me. - Are you kidding me? - No, I'm apologising to you. Apologising for what? Are you saying that wasn't the real you back then? Yeah. I had a lot of attitude and I just didn't like it... - l don't believe this. - Believe it!
I don't believe it! And don't get fresh with me! This attitude you're talking about... That's what got you out of this damn neighbourhood. You don't need to apologise. You must have done something right. So you're saying I've always been this bastard, but it's all right because it comes natural to me? - Something like that. - Yeah? Yeah! Yeah. Double yeah. I'll have another piece of this pie. It's very good. Better than stuff I get in New York. I bought you a ticket for the show. 26 bucks. I'm a hot shot now. Lay back, Butler. Extend! Extend! Enough! Maybe it's me, Butler. Maybe I'm not getting across what I want. You still ticklish, huh? What I want is a much more forceful type movement. - lt's a very sensual show, Butler. - Right. So, let's try to be sensual. Try it.
You might like it. Once again. - What do you think? - She's good. - What about him? - He's good, but he's too mechanical. - What are you doing later? - l've got commitments. - You do? - Yeah, I do. - You don't. - You don't think I have other plans? - No. - Well, you're wrong. - l can tell when you're lying. - How? - How can you tell when I'm lying? - Who's your commitment with? I'll never tell. I'll go out with you. - Excuse me? - The three of us. Oh, you're sick. You are sick. No, really, later? I don't know what you did, but she hates me. - l didn't do nothing. - Come on, Tony, stop lying. I mean, it's becoming a regular thing with you. - That bad, huh?
- That bad. - So what are we doing here? - l wanted to ask you a favour. - What favour? - Could you meet me here tonight? - No, I don't think I can. - l will owe you for life if you do. I know I treat you bad and I got terrible manners. But so did the people I grew up with. Some of it rubs off. There's a gentleman inside here dying to get out. Really. Come on, would you? Please. How about it? - OK. - Thank you. You're welcome. - l didn't think you were showing up. - l'm sorry. The show ran late. - Tony, you remember Carl. Carl, Tony. - How are you doing? - l need to ask you something. - Me, too. That guy's a musician. I didn't think you was the musician type. - He plays rhythm guitar at the club. - Rhythm guitar? That's the worst!
Everybody knows you can't trust a guy who plays rhythm guitar. Underneath the curls, he's a pervert. I can feel it. Did you take funny pills today? - How did you get in here? - The window. - You amaze me. - l don't like him. - Looks like a demented paratrooper. - He is just a friend! - Listen, thanks, Carl. - ls everything all right? - Fine. She's in good hands. - Are you Allstate, pal? - Yeah, you want disability? - l'll see you Wednesday. - All right. Goodnight. - Goodnight. Did you see how you said goodnight to him? Oh, great! No, how did I say it? It was like syrup. I got a cavity just listening to it. What are we doing here? I want to... I want to try Butler's routine. I want to ask Jesse to have a shot at replacing him. - You're kidding?
- No. You think I can do it? - l think so. - Well... do you want to help me? - l think so. - Let's go. - l think you're a little jealous. - No way. - Walk you home? - No, it's OK. - Sure? - Positive. Thanks anyway. All right. Thanks a lot, Jackie. You're welcome. Goodnight. Hey, Jackie! Remember I mentioned a gentleman that was anxious to get out? - Well, he'd like to walk you home. - OK. You're lucky. This neighbourhood is dangerous. - You didn't give that musician a key? - No! - Did you? - No! Just checking. - So what do you think? - No, it's what you think.
- You think I ought to try it? - You've got the routine. - But is it good enough? - Yeah. - ls it? - Yeah. Well... Goodnight. Goodnight, Jackie. Hey, Jackie, wait a minute. I want to say something to you, but it's really hard because... I'm just not used to saying nice things to you. I think we had something really comfortable, right. Something really... really nice. And I was thinking that I was really... The way I acted towards you was really wrong. I don't want to lose you. I feel really comfortable with you and I was thinking that if you feel the same way, and I feel the same thing for you, then maybe we could get back together. I love you, Jackie. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Three, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. - Two, two, three, four... - Hold it, hold it! Take a break. - lt's not me, is it? - Nope. You're fine. - l think I can do it. - Do what?
- You're being unreasonable! - l won't jeopardise my career... - Nor will I. - He's an amateur! - l want you to try it with him! - You've been taken in... I haven't. Now try it, and keep your personal feelings out of it! Let's go. OK. - Butler, sit this one out. - What do you mean? - You know. - l don't! Sure, you do! Manero! You know the first combination. Music. is this a dance or a bloody circus? - Forget it, man! - Too right! What are you looking at? - Wait! - l don't want to talk about it. Don't walk out and expect to come back! - ls that right? - You walk out now, you're over! - What would you do? - l'm not the one who's on the line. - l don't want anybody laughing at me! - Who are you, somebody special?
I give you a chance for a Broadway lead and you walk out! - Who cares? - Nobody has to care! I don't have to care about you, or you about me. If you want to dance here, you follow my rules! It's not a democracy! You are not the greatest dancer to hit Broadway! You have anger and intensity. That's what I need to make this show work. You think you're so terrific you'll score another show? The best thing that you ever scored is Laura. But you blew that because you're different kinds of people. You're never going to change that. If you had half a brain, you'd stop trying to change other people and start worrying about changing yourself! - Everyone uses everyone, don't they? - Go to hell, Manero! Who cares, man? All right, starting positions. And... five, six, seven, eight. - One, two, three, four, five... - Hold it! - Butler, would you mind? - This is bullshit! - Count it down. - And five, six, seven, eight. Again! Yes! Again, Tony, again! Five minutes! Five minutes!
