Mas este é o meu filme preferido feito por ele.
Magistral.
Deixo aqui um excerto do Guião. Este diálogo ainda me arrepia.
Passo vários momentos da minha vida a pensar nele.
A pensar no "porquê."
(Não me internem)
ALICE
Well, last summer at Cape Cod - I
don't suppose you remember one night
in the dining room, there was a young
Naval officer sitting near us. He was
with two other officers.
BILL
As a matter of fact, I don't. But what
about him?
ALICE
The waiter brought him a message
during dinner, at which point he left
the table?
Bill waits for her to continue.
ALICE
Well...I first saw him that morning in
the lobby. He was checking in and he
was following the bellboy with his
luggage to the elevator.
He glanced at me as he walked past
but didn't stop until he had gone a few
more steps. Then he turned and
looked at me.
He didn't say anything. He didn't smile.
In fact, it seemed to me that he
scowled. Maybe I did the same thing.
ALICE stops for a moment.
ALICE
I was very stirred by him. That whole
day I lay on the beach, lost in dreams.
She stops.
BILL
Go on.
ALICE thinks about how to continue.
BILL stares at her.
ALICE
That afternoon you and I made love
and talked about our future, and our
child.
Later we were sitting on the balcony
and he passed below us without
looking up.
Just the sight of him stirred me deeply
and I thought if he wanted me, I could
not have resisted. I thought I was
ready to give up you,
the child, my whole future.
And yet at the same time - if you can
understand it - you were dearer to me
than ever, and I stroked your forehead
and kissed your hair, and at that
moment my love for you was both
tender and sad.
At dinner I wore a white rose and you
said I was very beautiful. It might not
have been just an accident that he and
his friends sat near us.
He didn't look up but I actually
considered getting up, walking over to
him and like someone in a movie,
saying, 'Here I am, my love, for whom
I have waited - take me.'
Well, it was about then that the waiter
brought him the envelope. He read it,
turned pale, said goodbye to his friends
- and glancing at me mysteriously, he
left the room.
ALICE stops for a moment.
ALICE
I barely slept that night and woke up
the next morning very agitated. I didn't
know whether I was afraid that he had
left or that he might still be there... But
by dinner I realised he was gone and I
breathed a sigh of relief.
Long silence
BILL
And if he hadn't left?
Alice doesn't reply.
ALICE
I don't know.
BILL doesn't say anything but there is a scornful expression around his
mouth.
The phone rings.
BILL
Hello?...Oh... When did they call?...
No, I have the address...If they call
again say I'm on my way.
He hangs up the phone and starts to put on his shoes.
BILL
Lou Nathanson just died.
ALICE
Oh, that's too bad. But you were
expecting that, weren't you?
BILL
Yes..
Bill starts to get dressed.
BILL
I have to go over there for a while.
ALICE
Now?
BILL
I have to show my face.
BILL silently getting dressed.
ALICE
Obviously, it was a mistake to have told
you.
BILL (coldly)
Not at all.. We must always tell each
other everything.
ALICE
It was the pot.
BILL (coldly)
It doesn't really matter. Nothing
happened. Just a passing fancy.
