DEPARTURES
- Hi. - Hi.
Why are you here?
I was thinking about what you said yesterday.
I think back to when you were a little girl.
Mom and I accompanied you to take lesson from that teacher...
...the old unbearable one. Which was her name?
- Mrs. Riccardi... - Mrs. Riccardi! Riccardi...
...my goodness.
I told mom: "She must have loved really much what she was doing to stand a woman like that."
Do you remember?
Then things change.
I'm happy to see you here.
But I was wondering...
...why?
Why don't you want to leave? After all the sacrifices you made, that's a great chance.
You want to know why? Because I have a job here.
And I'm fine, I'm happy.
Is Carlo related to it?
What does Carlo has to do with it?
He didn't ask me anything.
Yes, but...he may have told you he would be hurt if you left...
Do you really believe I am not able to think for myself?
We spent many happy days.
There is still time...
...if you want.
I was pretty, wasn't I?
You're still beautiful.
And you're an old liar...
I know how much it costs you...
It will be fine.
Trust me.
Just a flower for my leaving?
You're a really parsimonious husband.
It's a difficult choice for me too.
Would you make me listen again that song?
-When you are here with me-
-This room doesn't have walls anymore-
-But trees-
-Infinite trees-
-When you are here near me-
-This ceiling breaks. No...-
-it doesn't exist anymore.-
-I see the sky above us-
-We are remaining here-
-Abandoned as if-
-there is nothing else-
-nothing else in the world-
-Harmonica is playing-
-It seems to me an organ-
-That vibrates for you and for me-
-In the immensity of the sky.-
-For you-
-And for me-
-In the immensity of the sky.-
-For you-
-And for me-
-In the sky-
Do you know why I always come here?
It's because here I met your mother.
I was sitting here, on this bench when I saw her for the first time.
I was reading a book,
I forgot the title.
It had a red cover.
And she came from there.
She was wearing a long light dress.
She saw me,
she approached me and sat next to me...
And she started talking.
Mom talked a lot, didn't she?
How much she talked...
She talked about what she believed in and...
...sometimes we didn't understand her.
However...
...I have always accepted all her wish, even when I didn't understand...
...always.
Even the last one.
No. It isn't true.
It's true.
