:37:00
My friends.
:37:02
- Please sit down.
- Thank you.

:37:09
Peppino, Gervasio,
you may begin serving.

:37:12
Ah, you've fiinally arrived!
:37:15
What would you like,
Your Eminence?

:37:16
- A mint to freshen my mouth, thank you.
- Ah, a mint. I knew it.

:37:21
Here we are.
:37:26
- Your Excellency.
- Why not?

:37:28
Thank you. I'd love one.
:37:30
- What would you like, Monsignor?
- Monsignor!

:37:32
I must tell you that when I was little,
I was quite a mischief maker.

:37:37
What did he say?
:37:39
He said when he was young,
he was a rascal.

:37:40
Mama used to make a liqueur
just like this for the guests...

:37:43
and she would have
to hide it from me.

:37:47
The minute she wasn't there, I'd climb
up and drink it out of the bottle.

:37:54
Your Eminence, I can't believe it.
:37:56
I'm sure that even as a baby,
you were a saint.

:38:01
A long life to His Eminence.
:38:13
How much time has passed.
:38:15
Everything seems so far away,
so different.

:38:18
I'm sorry to leave this life
in a city which is no longer home.

:38:22
The Rome I knew was different.
:38:25
People were nicer, more respectful.
:38:28
Everyone knew everyone else.
:38:30
Monsignors, cardinals, the Pope.
:38:33
They were all either friends
or relatives.

:38:39
Friendship with the church
has been lost.

:38:42
The marvelous balls...
:38:45
in villas and palazzos...
:38:49
with all those cardinals dressed in red
wandering about the house.

:38:54
It was like living in a painting
and at Christmas.

:38:59
Now, why should I
suddenly remember that?
