:37:03
that we were never to be apart again.
:37:06
How much more like a dream
can a dream be?
:37:11
But inevitably there comes a time
for waking up, even for us.
:37:18
A time for facing the pain and ugliness
that can be kept out of dreams,
:37:24
but not out of reality.
:37:37
It is important that you believe
everything I say to you now.
:37:43
I love you with all of my heart.
:37:47
Do you believe me?
:37:53
You are everything
I would want as my wife.
:37:55
I would want no one else.
I am proud of you.
:37:59
I want to make you as happy
as I can, as long as I live.
:38:04
As for the rest of what I have to say,
:38:07
you will find it neatly typed,
at some length, on this piece of paper.
:38:12
Would it not be better if you told me?
:38:15
No.
:38:27
It looks like an army
document of some kind.
:38:31
It is in Italian, and I do not understand.
:38:35
Che sarà, sarà.
:38:38
That is also Italian.
:38:40
Apparently, I am not to be let off anything.
:38:45
Yes, it is an army document.
:38:48
A medical report,
dated October 25th 1942,
:38:54
from a base hospital in Benghazi.
:38:56
It describes in detail
:38:59
the degree to which my body
was blown apart by an explosion.
