1:18:13
His big moment has come.
1:18:15
Even we grasped
the importance of this meeting,
1:18:18
and we were as excited
as Leopoldo.
1:18:32
Ah, I see you've brought company.
Please, come in.
1:18:36
Please, come in.
1:18:38
Bring some chairs.
- That's all right, sir. We'll stand.
1:18:42
Forgive the candle.
1:18:44
In these second-rate theaters,
they always steal the light bulbs.
1:18:47
- Of course, sir. It's nothing.
- May I offer you a cigarette?
1:18:50
They're domestic, you know.
1:18:53
American cigarettes
are very bad for you.
1:18:57
- Sir, I'm a great admirer.
- I saw you in I due Foscari.
1:19:01
Yes, well, the best parts
were left on the cutting room floor.
1:19:05
Please, have a seat
while I finish removing my makeup.
1:19:12
Sir, I've admired you for years.
1:19:16
I saw you for the first time
in Bologna, in 1943.
1:19:19
It was an unforgettable evening.
1:19:22
You revealed lbsen to me.
- Ibsen. Those were the days.
1:19:26
Feels like yesterday.
1:19:28
Being principal actor
is hard work, my friend.
1:19:32
And you're seeing me during a break,
a vacation, I'd like to call it.
1:19:36
It's temporary, of course.
1:19:38
Fausto, look who's here.
1:19:39
Let me tell you,
I have great ideas for next season.
1:19:43
I want to put together
an amazing cast.
1:19:46
A cast that will make history.
1:19:49
I might be able to get Ferrati,
and perhaps even Gassman.
1:19:52
Did you hear that?
He's gonna get Ferrati and Gassman.
1:19:55
I want young playwrights, both
for the grants and for the challenge.
1:19:59
By the way,
