But when you consider
the vulnerability of Venice...
1:39:06
with its lagoons and its scirocco...
1:39:10
In May...
1:39:13
the horrible vibrios were found...
1:39:17
on the same day in two bodies:
1:39:20
On the blackened, emaciated body
of a boatman...
1:39:26
and in a lady
who kept a greengrocer's shop.
1:39:32
Both of these deaths, of course,
were hushed up...
1:39:35
but now, week by week,
there are more and more deaths.
1:39:38
It's quite impossible to count
the number of the dead.
1:39:41
Do you know that in the hospitals
there's not a single free bed to be had?
1:39:48
People all know, of course.
They're terrified, but they're silent.
1:39:52
And do you know why?
1:39:54
Summer. Tourists.
1:39:57
The whole business of Venice is tourists.
1:39:59
Can you imagine Venice without tourists?
1:40:04
It would be more desolate than the winter.
1:40:08
You would be very well advised
to leave today, sir.
1:40:12
Don't wait till tomorrow.
1:40:15
The blockade cannot be more
than a few days off.
1:40:25
Madam...
1:40:28
will you permit an entire stranger...
1:40:33
to serve you...
1:40:35
with a word of advice and warning...
1:40:41
which self-interest
prevents others from saying?
1:40:47
Go away immediately. Don't delay.
1:40:51
Please, I beg you.
1:40:55
Take Tadzio and your daughters.
1:40:58
I implore you. Please.
