156 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,631 how I was going back to Seattle and work on my uncle's ranch. e del fatto che sarei ritornato a Seattle a lavorare nell'allevamento di cavalli di mio zio 157 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,796 But when I think back about it now Ma ripensandoci adesso 158 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,674 I realise that, all the time I was talking, the thing that was really in my mind Mi rendo conto che per tutto il tempo in cui parlai la mia unica preoccupazione 159 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:05,396 was to remember not to ask what it was her boss Rappalo was so sorry for. fu di non chiederle che cosa il suo padrone volesse farsi perdonare. 160 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,193 Anyway, let's talk about you. E adesso, parliamo di lei. 161 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,753 Like, 162 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,075 who are those people in the picture? Di chi sono quelle fotografie? 163 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,909 And how did you get messed up with that dance-hall guy? E come ha fatto a impegolarsi con quel tipo della sala da ballo? 164 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,837 What's the matter? Che cos'? 165 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,313 Nothing. Niente. 166 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:25,150

Just that... so funny you should ask those questions that way. Ma... buffo che lei mi faccia queste due domande in questo modo. 167 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,635 - Together that way. - Why? - Voglio dire insieme. - Perch? 168 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,637 Well, they have both so much to do with each other. Sono due cose talmente legate l'una all'altra. 169 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,435 - How do you mean? - It's involved. Do you wanna hear it? - Come sarebbe? - E' una storia complicata. Vuole davvero sentirla? 170 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,869 If you don't mind telling me, I would. Se non le dispiace raccontarmela. L'ascolto. 171 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,151 I don't mind. For some reason I feel like telling you. Non mi dispiace. Anzi sento di dovergliela raccontare 172 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,919 I've never told anybody before. Non l'ho mai fatto con nessuno fino ad oggi. 173 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,276 This is my father. This is my sister Iris. Questo mio padre. E questa mia sorella Iris. 174 00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:55,554 But I suppose it's really Iris's story. In realt la storia di Iris. 175 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,875 She was a ballet dancer, and everyone said she was very good. Era una ballerina classica, e tutti dicevano ch'era molto brava.

176 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,229 She adored Daddy, and of course she was his favourite. Lei adorava pap e naturalmente era la sua prediletta. 177 00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:07,113 But let me start from the beginning. Ma meglio cominciare dal principio. 178 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,390 Iris was eight years old. Iris aveva otto anni. 179 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,080 Father was a writer with a growing reputation, Mio padre era uno scrittore che si stava affermando, 180 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,591 and Mother was very beautiful and very intelligent. e mia madre era assai bella e intelligente. 181 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,156 They loved each other very much and they were very happy. I miei genitori si amavano molto ed erano felici. 182 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,708 Then I was born and my mother died on the same day. Poi nacqui io e mia madre mor nel darmi alla luce. 183 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,435 They say Father went on a two-week drunk to celebrate the event. Da quel giorno mio padre cerc di annegare il suo dolore nell'alcol. 184 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,519 And after that I don't think he ever thought of another woman. Credo che d'allora non abbia mai pi pensato a un'altra donna. 185

00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,108 Time passed and Iris grew more beautiful each day. Il tempo passava e Iris diventava ogni giorno pi bella. 186 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,313 She was the image of her mother. Everyone said so. Era il ritratto della mamma. Lo dicevano tutti. 187 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,353 Iris was Daddy's favourite, and I was very jealous. Iris era la prediletta di pap ed io ne ero gelosa. 188 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,358 And maybe I began to hate her. E cominciai istintivamente a odiarla. 189 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,552 Daddy was good to me. Maybe he loved me a little, too. Pap era buono con me. E forse amava anche me. 190 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,956 By the time she was 20, she was dancing with the Ballets Russes, A vent'anni Iris era gi nella Compagnia dei Balletti Russi. 191 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,594 and Daddy was so proud of her. pap era orgoglioso di lei. 192 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,952 And then - I remember the day clearly it was my thirteenth birthday, Un giorno, una domenica pomeriggio, lo ricordo chiaramente perch compivo tredici anni, 193 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,116 Sunday afternoon. 194 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,994 Iris came home excited and told us of her marriage proposal. Iris torn a casa tutta eccitata e ci disse

d'aver avuto una proposta di matrimonio. 195 00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:11,830 The man wasn't bad-looking, in his early thirties, and very rich. Lui non era brutto, aveva da poco passato la trentina ed era ricco. 196 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,916 Father knew him and liked him, Pap lo conosceva e lo stimava, 197 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,396 but he couldn't stop laughing when Iris told how she said no, ma rise a non finire quando Iris disse che lo aveva rifiutato 198 00:28:17,528:22,355 simply because the fellow wanted her to give up her dancing and just be his wife. solo perch lui voleva che lasciasse la danza per essere esclusivamente sua moglie. 199 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,711 She never said if she loved him or not. Lei non ci disse mai se lo amava o no. 200 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,630 Then, a few months later, Daddy took sick and didn't get better. Poi, alcuni mesi pi tardi, pap si ammal gravemente. 201 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,910 And it turned out that he never would, Venimmo a sapere che non sarebbe mai guarito 202 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,157 and that he would need constant medical care until the end. e che avrebbe avuto bisogno di assistenza continua fino alla fine. 203 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,794 Six months to two years, they said. Ci dissero che gli rimanevano da sei mesi a due anni di vita. 204

00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:46,876 Iris's salary wasn't enough, and in two months' time all our savings were gone. Lo stipendio di Iris non bastava, e nel giro di due mesi tutti i nostri risparmi finirono. 205 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,873 I couldn't work. I was only 13, Io non potevo lavorare. Avevo 13 anni 206 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,355 still in grade school. e andavo ancora alla scuola media. 207 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,479 The next thing I knew, she married her rich suitor, Improvvisamente, lei spos il suo ricco pretendente 208 00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:00,230 and we were all living in great style on his estate in Long Island. e andammo tutti a vivere nella sua tenuta di Long Island. 209 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:05,912 Daddy had the best care money could buy, and he seemed happy despite it all. Pap ebbe le cure migliori e pi costose e sembrava felice nonostante tutto. 210 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,271 Iris gave up her dancing, according to the marriage bargain, Iris rinunci alla danza, secondo l'accordo preso con suo marito 211 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,597 and did little else but sit at Daddy's bedside. e non faceva quasi altro che sedere al cape pap 212 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,232 Sick as he was, he always laughed a lot when they were together. che sofferente com'era, rideva sempre e si divertita quand'erano insieme. 213 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,920

I guess I hated her more than ever now. Credo d'averla odiata pi che mai allora. 214 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,030 A year passed like that. Pass un anno cos. 215 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,472 Her husband was a sweet man, but none of us paid much attention to him. Il marito di Iris era una brava persona ma nessuno di noi faceva molto caso a lui. 216 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,672 And by then I'm sure he knew she didn't love him. E sono sicura che si era gi reso conto che lei non lo amava. 217 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,314 But he never said anything. Ma non disse mai nulla. 218 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:41,230 Then one cold winter morning the maid woke us and said that Daddy was dead. Poi un freddo mattino d'inverno la cameriera ci svegli e ci disse che pap era morto. 219 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,629 Iris was like a stone. She didn't even blink. Iris rimase come di ghiaccio. Non batt ciglio. 220 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,957 I began to cry and shout that I hated her, Io cominciai a piangere e a gridare, dissi che la odiavo, 221 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,790 that she had only pretended with Daddy, and that she didn't ever love him. che lei aveva sempre finto con pap e che non gli aveva mai voluto bene. 222 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,115 She didn't say a word. Lei non disse una parola e rest immobile, come impietrita. 223

00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:01,394 In his room she stood quietly over his body for a long time and smiled. Rimase a lungo in silenzio nella stanza di pap e guardandolo quasi sorridendo. 224 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,829 Then she went up to her room and put on their favourite record. Poi sal in camera sua e fece suonare il suo disco preferito. 225 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,794 It was from one of her ballets. She played it very loud. Era la musica di uno dei suoi bsuon molto forte. 226 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:15,276 A short time later her husband found her in bed, the covers drawn up to her neck. Poco dopo suo marito la trov a letto con le coperte tirate fino al mento. 227 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,278 She'd cut her wrists and she was dead. Si era tagliata le vene dei polsi ed era morta. 228 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,955 She left me a note. Mi aveva lasciato un biglietto. 229 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,955 Said she loved me. C'era scritto che mi voleva bene. 230 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,231 She was sorry for making a mess of everything between us. e le dispiaceva di avere rovinato i nostri rapporti. 231 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,478 Later, I was in the city attending to some legal things, Pochi giorni dopo andai in citt per occuparci di certi affari legali 232 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,875 and I happened to pass the dance hall. e mi capit di passare davanti a una sala da ballo.

233 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,833 Sign read "Pleasureland. Dancing partners wanted." Lessi un cartello "Cercansi ragazze". 234 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:45,150 I don't know what possessed me. I went up. I actually took the job. Non so cosa mi prese. Entrai e chiesi di essere assunta. 235 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,794 I don't understand any part of it. Ancora oggi non riesco a capire. 236 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,992 Every night I worked in that depraved place, Ogni sera che entravo in quel posto abietto, 237 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,315 a human zoo. in quello zoo umano 238 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,790 I kept thinking "At least Iris never had... had to dance like this." ripetevo a me stessa "Almeno Iris non ha mai dovuto abbassarsi a ballare cos." 239 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,515 And then I started to feel less unhappy. E allora mi sentivo meno infelice. 240 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,673 Come on, let's go out for a walk. Su, andiamo a fare due passi. 241 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,075 (Davey) We went out for a walk. Gloria si vest e uscimmo a fare una passeggiata. 242 00:200 --> 00:31:15,636 I bought her an ice cream and saw her laugh for the first time. Le comprai un gelato e la vidi sorridere per la prima volta. 243

00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,957 We must have walked for hours, and slowly her mood changed. Camminammo per delle ore e il suo umore continu a migliorare tutto il tempo. 244 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,470 She became very happy and optimistic about life in general. Sembrava felice e la vita non la spaventava pi. 245 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,910 But when I said I was taking the train back to Seattle the next day, Ma quando le disse che avevo deciso di prendere il treno per tornare a Seattle il giorno dopo, 246 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,429 she got serious again and very quiet. si fece di nuovo seria e silenziosa. 247 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,792 I didn't know it, but I was already in over my head and I couldn't have cared less. In quel momento non me ne rendevo conto ma ero gi innamorato di lei. 248 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,879 We didn't get back until after lunch. And then in her apartment... Non tornammo fin dopo il pranzo e poi nel suo appartamento... 249 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,797 Something's happened. E' successo qualcosa. 250 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,070 I know. Lo so. 251 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,158 - Do you know? - Sure. You kissed me. - Lo sai? - Certo. Mi hai baciata. 252 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,548 - Is that all? - That's all I saw. I watched all the time.

- E' tutto qui? - S, non c' stato altro, mi pare. 253 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,032 I love you. Ti amo. 254 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,355 Love me? That's funny. Mi ami? Che parola grossa. 255 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,031 Why is it so funny? Perch dici cos? 256 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,559 Why? Perch? 257 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,558 It's a mistake to confuse pity with love. E' un errore confondere la piet con l'amore. 258 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,596 Look, Gloria... Gloria, ti amo... 259 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,796 Looking back now, I don't know what her reasons were then, Ripensandoci, non so proprio per qual motivo 260 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,388 but she agreed to come out to Seattle with me. accett di venire con me a Seattle. 261 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,512 I should have had sense enough to know it was no good, Avrei dovuto avere abbastanza buon senso da capire 262 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,870 and she was so scared she'd grab at anything. che era talmente terrorizzata da aggrapparsi a qualsiasi cosa.

263 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,754 But I was kidding myself, and all I could think of was how much I wanted her. Invece non riuscivo a pensare che a lei e a quanto la desideravo. 264 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,759 We made reservations and wired Uncle George to brace himself for a niece. Prenotai il posto in treno e telegrafai allo zio George di prepararsi a ricevere una nipote. 265 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,110 And then we got our finances together. Poi ci preoccupammo di riscuotere i nostri crediti. 266 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,876 (phone) 267 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,796 - Yes? - This is Louie. - Si? - Signor Rafael, sono Louie. 268 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:27,119 Gloria Price called to say she's coming in tonight for last week's salary. Gloria Price ha telefonato dicendo che sarebbe venuta stasera a ritirare il suo ultimo settimanale. 269 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,595 You there, Mr Rappalo? Mi sente, Signor Rafael? 270 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,112 Thanks. Grazie.
