Moonstruck (1987) Edit

A couple of precious months.

A few weeks,

A good bachelor customer for 20 years.

A joke to me now.

A man understands one day that his life is built on nothing

A man who can't control his woman... is funny.

A miracle? Well, that's news.

A multiplication table.

A person can see where they've messed up in their life.

A week.

Absolutely.

Ah, red roses.

Ah, si, la luna. La bella luna.

Ah, the guy that sends these really knows what he's doing.

Ah, veramente una luna bella.

Ah, very good.

All right, all right.

All right, all right. A month.

All right, bye bye.

All right, I'm guilty. I confess.

All right!

All right! Ma, OK, fine! But you gotta help me.

All right?

All right.

All right.

All right.

Amen.

And

And began to cook for everyone in the house.

And bring me a big glass of vodka?

And die!

And full of promise as moonlight in a martini.

And get in my bed!

And go to confession.

And he ordered bread from me. And I said, OK, some bread.

And he wants me to come.

And I bake bread... bread... bread!

And I bounced a check at the liquor store, but by mistake.

And I have something to tell you. But I must talk to you alone.

And I see a wolf in you.

And I should be so happy!

And I sweat... and shovel this stinking dough

And I... I put my hand in the slicer

And I'll have special fish.

And I'll look up and I'll see a fresh,

And it got caught cos I wasn't paying attention.

And it was the moon,

And it's all new to her.

And it's funny, cos when my fianc�e found out about it...

And Johnny came in here.

And listen, Johnny, you know,

And love the wrong people.

And no to other things that will ruin everything.

And now he's getting married.

And now you're afraid because you know the big part of you is a wolf

And see a young woman's face

And see me in her eyes,

And she's as fresh and bright

And still she had to keep singing.

And stood up... and put on her clothes,

And that's a bad, crazy day.

And that's all I'm saying.

And the bad blood will have to stay between you and Johnny.

And the women have that.

And then

And then I serve the champagne.

And then we went to the bank this morning, and no bag.

And then you need a manicure, yes.

And then,

And what did they say?

And when he comes to bed, he won't touch me.

And woke me up with it.

And you can see where that's gotten you.

And you don't love your mother!

And you were a lamb. As soft as... milk.

And you'll drop dead and I'll mourn you in a red dress!

And... and to break our hearts

Andiamo, andiamo, eh?

Andiamo! Andiamo a casa.

Andiamo.

Answer the door!

Anything else, folks?

Are you listening to me?!

As big as a house.

As you can see, he was a great artist.

At dinner.

At first, I was excited about something, I wanted to share it. Now it's rote.

Avete capito?

Bad luck, that's it. Is that all I'm ever gonna have?

Be careful, Loretta.

Because I have no luck.

Because I know who I am.

Because you were so in love

Before a man opens his eyes

Bellissima without those ugly greys.

Bettina, you ever been to the opera?

Birds fly to the stars, I guess. Huh?

Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It's two months since my last confession.

Bobo, take the cart away.

Bobo!

Bring me the big knife.

But absolutely.

But he doesn't know that.

But I can see what the true story is and you can't.

But I gotta do the books tomorrow.

But it's important that he don't look ridiculous.

But one time, I woke up in the middle of the night

But,

But, my son... I must speak.

But...

Call this number. It's a business number. You ask for Ronny.

Cammareri's.

Can I borrow that ring?

Can you wake up Loretta? I need to talk to her.

Can't we just talk?

Canadian Club with ginger ale and Dubonnet on the rocks, please.

Careful.

Che cani sono questi?

Chrissy! Bring me the big knife!

Chrissy! Over by the wall!

Ciao, bello.

Ciao, bello.

Ciao, cara. Ciao.

Ciao.

Come here!

Come on in.

Come on in.

Come on, come on!

Come on, let's go in.

Come on, Raymond!

Come on! Andiamo! Insieme.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come va?

Cos I never told him

Cos of this bright light in my face.

Cosmo, many years ago, when they told me

Cosmo, this is Ronny, Johnny's brother.

Cosmo!

Cosmo.

Cosmo.

Cosmo's cheating on me.

Cover up that damn thing! Put some make up on it!

Dai! Piano, piano!

Did you tell her we're getting married?

Disgraziato!

Do you have something you wanna tell us, honey?

Do you know about me?

Do you think I'm a talking doll?!

Don't do that!

Don't everybody answer at the same time.

Don't look at me like that, OK?

Don't shit where you eat.

Don't stand directly under the sun. Use your hat.

Dream,

E guardate la luna.

Ecco, piano.

Ego te absolvo, in nomine Patris, Filii et Spiritus Sancti.

Everybody upstairs!

Everybody, come on! Glass in hand!

Everything is temporary! That excuses nothing.

Except sometimes...

Five years ago, I was engaged to be married. And

Five years is too long for bad blood between brothers.

Flight 604 for Rome with connections to Palermo is now boarding at gate 43.

For a whole wedding to be planned, you gotta set a date.

For what?

For your beautiful dress.

Get out, get out!

Get rid of all evidence of her and bring me a big glass of vodka.

Give it here!

God took a rib from Adam... and made Eve.

God, it's cold.

God.

Good.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Goodnight. Can I kiss you on the cheek, too?

Grandma was still alive. Ciro was still home, going to school.

Guarda!

Guardate la bella luna!

Gum opens your ears when you chew.

Halfway to Sicily, you'll be green and sweating.

Have I been a good wife?

Have you come from my brother Johnny?

Have you got your ticket?

He came right from the airport. He wanted to talk to you.

He came right from the airport. He wanted to talk to you.

He didn't tell her!

He didn't used to be cheap.

He doesn't like you. But thank you for answering my question.

He has his!

He left a big hole there.

He looks great.

He made me look the wrong way and I cut off my hand.

He thinks if he holds onto his money, he will never die.

He thinks you came home last night.

He wanted to have a baby right away. I said we should wait.

He'd stand outside the house all day looking in the windows.

He's a plumber.

He's a sweet man, Ma.

He's getting his.

He's getting married and would like it if you would come.

Hello, Bobo, yeah. Let me have a martini, no ice, two olives.

Hello, Bobo. How are you tonight?

Hello, Mr Castorini.

Hello!

Her fianc�'s in Palermo. What date?!

Here we go.

Hey, Frankie!

Hey, howl, come on!

Hey!

Hey! How long must I wait?

Hey! Keep your dogs off my lawn!

Hey! That's romantic, too.

Hey! Venite qua!

Hi, guys! Oh, sweethearts!

Hi, I'm home!

Hi, Pop.

Hi, Pop.

Hi, Rita. Hi, Uncle Raymond.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi. I'm Ronny, Johnny's brother.

Hi. Is Loretta home?

His one dream of happiness?

Ho detto di non tirare!

Hold it!

Hold it.

Hold on.

How about we set a date? A month?

How am I supposed to do your income tax with this mess you've got here?

How are you, how are you? Guess what happened to me today.

How come you didn't be with your mother in Palermo?

How did I know that that man was a gift I couldn't keep?

How's the mother?

Howl, howl!

Huh, sweetie?

Hurry up...

I ask her out for a date.

I can only see things in my house. And things in my house are very bad.

I can see that now...

I can take hold of myself and I can say yes to some things

I can't invite you in because I'm married.

I can't marry you.

I can't talk long.

I couldn't believe it. I didn't think she would die.

I cursed her that the green Atlantic water should swallow her up!

I didn't know this either. But love don't make things nice.

I didn't see you here.

I don't believe in curses.

I don't believe this is happening.

I don't care about anything.

I don't care about luck. You understand me?

I don't care if you burn in hell.

I don't care why you come.

I don't know if I saw you here or what.

I don't know what to advise my son.

I don't know. For your hair.

I don't know. It's been a long time since I've been to the opera.

I don't need some man watching while I roll around in the mud.

I don't wanna talk about it.

I don't wanna talk about it.

I don't wanna talk about it.

I feel great!

I find women charming.

I forgot to make the deposit.

I got mad at you, Cosmo.

I got married when I was 28.

I got my hat, all right, all right.

I got no sleep, but I feel like Orlando Furioso.

I gotta go.

I gotta go.

I gotta go. I'll take the deposit to the bank,

I guess it ain't modern times in Sicily.

I hate to eat alone. It's amazing how often I end up doing just that.

I have a feeling this is going to be just delicious.

I have no money.

I held out for love.

I helped you pick it out. It had two pairs of pants!

I just got that. You know how to hurt a guy.

I just want you to know, no matter what you do,

I know! She was coughing her brains out.

I know.

I lied to him.

I like it well done.

I like your dress.

I live in a one bedroom apartment.

I looked out the window

I lost my hand!

I love you and... and I love the opera.

I love you.

I make 'em look better than they did in real life.

I mean that the storybooks are bullshit!

I mean that the storybooks are bullshit!

I mean, you waited for the right man the first time.

I met a man, I loved him, I married him.

I never seen a moon like that before.

I never seen anybody so in love

I never seen the moon so big before or since.

I never told you this, cos it's not really a story.

I put a curse on that plane that it's going to explode, burn and fall into the sea.

I really don't know where to start.

I really hate it when you use that tone with me.

I said I'd go to the opera with you, but... that's all.

I should have taken a rock and killed myself years ago.

I teach these classes I've taught for a million years.

I think he should pay for the wedding.

I think it's because they fear death.

I think we should follow Mr Castorini's advice, heart.

I think you like to roll around in the mud and I don't. That's fair...

I thought Johnny was in Palermo.

I thought you had brought that big moon over to my house,

I told her we were to be married and she got well right away!

I wanna live here, I love the house. Pop don't like Johnny.

I wanna talk to you!

I want a whole wedding, or we'll have bad luck.

I want a whole wedding, or we'll have bad luck.

I want you to invite him to the wedding.

I want you to stop seeing her.

I want you to tell me the truth... if you can.

I was almost scared, like it was gonna crush the house.

I was half asleep, I guess.

I was happy.

I was just making a point about the way you stated your aspirations...

I won't be home for dinner.

I won't come to the wedding provided one thing.

I won't pay for nothing.

I won't pay!

I would be satisfied to give up...

I would have sprung for the ring if it was me, capisce?

I... I don't understand you.

I'd be delighted.

I'd be out of business.

I'd like two glasses of champagne.

I'll call you later.

I'll call you later.

I'll get it.

I'll get it.

I'll take care of the whole thing. All you gotta do is show up.

I'm a professor of communication at NYU.

I'm a wolf. You run to the wolf in me. That don't make you no lamb.

I'm an artistic genius.

I'm calling from the deathbed of my mother.

I'm confused.

I'm freezing.

I'm getting married.

I'm glad everybody ain't like you, Loretta.

I'm going to bed now.

I'm going.

I'm gonna cut my throat!

I'm gonna kick you till you're dead.

I'm gonna marry him. Do you hear me?

I'm gonna marry your brother and you're gonna leave me alone for ever, right?

I'm gonna marry your brother and you're gonna leave me alone for ever, right?

I'm in love with this man.

I'm in love with you.

I'm just this great guy who's brilliant and thinks out loud.

I'm looking where I have to to be a bride.

I'm not disturbed by you.

I'm Rose Castorini.

I'm sorry. That was rude.

I'm talking about a promise? He proposed!

I'm too old for me. That's my predicament.

I'm too old for you.

I'm waiting... I'm waiting till a moment when she's peaceful.

I've brought you something.

I've seen the wolf in everybody I ever met

If I can have the two things I love together for one night,

If she gets married... I'll pay for the whole thing.

If you and Johnny moved in and had a baby...

If you look the wrong way, you could lose your head.

In and out of this hot hole in the wall

In that light,

Instead of at the City Hall with strangers at the door,

Is he all right?

Is he down there?

Is it just a matter of time

Is Johnny here?

Is that man praying?

Is who down there?

Is you... and me.

Is.

It ain't over till it's over.

It ain't that.

It costs money because it saves money.

It costs money because it saves money.

It costs money.

It costs money.

It doesn't last long.

It looks stupid. It's a pinky ring.

It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect.

It makes you look like an angel.

It ruins everything. It breaks your heart.

It was a miracle.

It's a father's duty to pay for the wedding.

It's a house.

It's a present.

It's Cosmo's moon.

It's fantastic.

It's for luck. A man proposes marriage to a woman, he should kneel down.

It's Johnny Cammareri!

It's not Johnny.

It's not like her not to call.

It's perfect.

It's that moon I was talking about

It's too much like death.

It's very bright. Oh...

It's very good to meet you, Mr Castorini.

Jo!

Johnny Cammareri showed up last night.

Johnny Cammareri. He's a big baby.

Johnny Cammareri. I think it's a great idea and about time.

Johnny got down on his knees and proposed to me at the Grand Ticino.

Johnny has his hand! Johnny has his bride!

Johnny, I have something I have to tell you.

Johnny, your mother was dying. How did she recover?

Johnny.

Johnny's brother.

Johnny's got a big apartment. We'll move in there.

Just do me a favour and clear her place.

Just like your father.

Just maybe, a man isn't complete as a man,

Kiss my aspirations? Very clever.

La luna attira I'uomo... la donna verso I'uomo.

Last night never happened. I'm gonna marry him.

Leave nothing left for him to marry, nothing but the skin over my bones.

Let's eat.

Let's get outta here. I'll buy you a drink.

Let's go into the kitchen.

Let's go tell your mother.

Like a flashlight. I couldn't think of what it was.

Like Cosmo was back then.

Like isn't it so amusing.

Listen, Johnny.

Listen, Johnny.

Listen, would anyone like some coffee?

Lo so. Va bene, va bene!

Look,

Look.

Look.

Look.

Looking up at the windows.

Loretta Castorini Clark,

Loretta,

Loretta,

Loretta? Loretta, are you there?

Ma guardate. Ma non gi�! Su! Guardate su!

Ma, I'm 37 years old.

Ma!

Make me a bowl of minestrone!

Make sure he comes to the wedding.

May I walk with you a ways?

Maybe because he fears death.

Maybe I should come back another time.

Maybe I wouldn't have had the bad luck I had.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe, if you gave me away and I got married in a church in a wedding dress,

Maybe.

Maybe.

Maybe.

Me, the way I always wanted to be, maybe once was,

Mille grazie.

More bad luck. I don't like his face, Loretta.

Mother?

Moving in?

Mrs Castorini, will you tell Loretta that I'll come by in the morning?

Must it be so definite? Can't we just say we'll be married when I get back?

My brother Johnny took my life from me.

My brother sent her a blue flower.

My father in law's got this wrong idea in his head.

My father needs another plate.

My God! It's a mansion.

My lady friend has a personality disorder.

My mother is dying.

My mother is dying.

My mother was dying and now she's not!

My mother's recovered.

My one chance of happiness.

My scalp is not getting enough blood sometimes.

Neither do I.

Nerves.

No, I came right from the airport.

No, I need my family around me now.

No, I want you to see this.

No, it's oily fish tonight. Not before the plane ride.

No, no. I...

No, that's not what I mean.

No, we don't want any oatmeal.

No, we don't.

No.

No.

No. I think the house is empty.

No. Really, you gotta get out of here.

No. Unlucky. I've not been lucky.

Nobody.

Non avete capito niente.

Non tirare. Non tirare!

Non tirare. Non tirare. Non tirare!

Not us. Not us!

Not... not like they told you love is.

Nothing can replace the family, Loretta.

Nothing is anybody's fault.

Nothing. I'm looking at the moon.

Now he's gonna play that damn Vicki Carr record

Now he's married, gone to Florida.

Now I want you to come upstairs with me

Now maybe,

Now she's going back to Sicily.

Now wait a minute, honey. Listen, all right.

Now who are you calling? Uffa!

Now you'll sleep too hard and later you'll be up when you should be down.

Now you're talking.

Now, maybe men chase women to get the rib back.

Numbers, taxes, receipts...

Of what? Only God can point the finger, Loretta.

Oh, Christ, to give up the rest of my life.

Oh, come on!

Oh, Cosmo!

Oh, God! OK, I don't care, I don't care.

Oh, God. That's too bad.

Oh, hi. I'm sorry to call so late.

Oh, I must ask for that back.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! I forgot to make the deposit!

Oh, my God.

Oh, no, no. Not yet.

Oh, she's got it.

Oh, sure. You got a date.

Oh, yes, you did.

Oh.

Oh. Hi.

Oh. Nice to meet you. I'm Rita Cappomaggi.

Oh. Right.

Oh. Right.

OK, I'll remember that.

OK, we'll have the manicotti, Bobo.

OK, you tell me my life. I'll tell you yours.

OK.

OK.

OK.

OK. Here, I got you these. Gum and cough drops.

OK. I got a table for you right now.

OK. You made me very happy.

Old man! You give those dogs another piece of my food,

On his wedding day. OK?

On my knees, in front of all of these people,

On something that ends up as garbage.

Once I slept with my fianc�'s brother,

Operator?

Or some action to that effect.

Otherwise, you know, what...

Out. I don't know where.

Ow!

People home.

Piano, piano, piano.

Playing it safe's the most dangerous thing a woman like you could do.

Pop don't like Johnny.

Pop, I had no reception, no wedding cake, no nothing.

Pop, I've got news.

Pop, what are you doing here?

Pop.

Quanto io devo aspettare?

Right from the start, we didn't do it right. Could you kneel down?

Ronny, of course I want to.

Ronny!

Ronny!

Ronny! Somebody wants to see you!

Rose, pass the wine.

Rose, pass the wine.

Rose.

Salute, paesano!

Seven years ago.

She ate a meal that could choke a pig.

She completely pulled back from death,

She don't like me.

She loves me.

She turned 40 and her husband left her.

She was happy.

She was right to leave me.

She was right to leave me.

She was too young for him.

She was too young for him.

She won't do it. Do you know about me?

She's asleep. Look at all the flowers.

She's dying. But I could still hear her big mouth.

She's got him on his knees! He's ruining his suit.

She's just too young for you.

She's not home yet. Take off your coat and come through. I'll make you a drink.

Si ha preso il mio uomo!

Si pu� parlare, signore.

Si torna in Sicilia.

Signora Castorini, you dining alone tonight?

Signora Castorini... your minestrone.

Sit down. Have some coffee.

So maybe my nature does draw me to you. But I don't have to go with it.

So we'll sell the house.

So what do I got? I got no man, no baby, no nothing.

So what's your news?

So where are we sitting?

So, five years ago, you got your hand cut off and your woman left you.

So, how come you can't keep track of your receipts?

So. What are you doing here?

Someone tell a joke.

Sometimes, I'll be droning along

Son of a bitch!

Stai ferma, stai ferma, mammita!

Stupid yourself.

Sure.

Sure. Thanks.

Take me, take me to the bed.

Take your revenge out on me.

Talk to you!

Tell him the truth, Loretta. They find out anyway.

Temperature's dropping.

Thank you for answering my question.

Thank you.

Thank you. Where is she?

Thanks, Mrs Fugacci.

Thanks.

Thanks.

That Al Conti is a genius.

That has the courage to bite off its hand to escape from the trap of the wrong love.

That Mona, I mean, she's some piece of cheap goods.

That moon...

That seems like a lot.

That she took him to be strong on me.

That was a... This is a... Oh!

That was so awful.

That was the price of your freedom.

That woman was not my mother, OK?

That's $11.99.

That's a good idea.

That's a pretty big sin.

That's because he don't know, OK?

That's it. No. Thank you.

That's it. That's the reason.

That's my house.

That's the bad blood between you and Johnny?

That's why there's been no woman since that wrong woman. OK?

The breath had almost totally left her body. She was as white as snow.

The guy who sends those spends a lot of money

The height of cleverness!

The key's in it.

The moon uh... brings the woman to the man, capisci?

The mourners, and me, and herself.

The old are not wanted.

The past and the future is

The pleasure of marriage is you sleep with the woman and worry about nothing.

The slicer chewed off my hand.

The spontaneity went out of it for me a long time ago.

The waitresses were very nice.

The wedding's in two weeks. You're invited.

The woman wanted to be cheap.

The... The big part of you has no words and

Then he gets hit by a bus.

Then I looked down, and standing there in the street was Cosmo

Then I must never see you again

Then it's not a sin.

Then she catches on that I'm just this burned out old gasbag

Then, how come you've got butter on your tie?

There are three kinds of pipe.

There was some bad blood.

There we are! Thank you, thank you.

There you go.

There.

There's a question I want to ask.

There's one thing about this wedding I want you to do.

There's the Bible story.

There's the kind of pipe you have, which is garbage.

They can change the way they do things. They can even change their luck.

They get some turnout for this stuff, huh?

This is good.

This is modern times! There ain't supposed to be miracles.

This is my life, no matter how comical it may seem to you.

This is the funny part!

This is the last call for flight No.604 for Rome...

This is what I came to tell Loretta. There's been a miracle.

This time I'm gonna get married in a church and have a big reception.

This wood is fake.

Ti amo.

Ti amo.

To family!

To the bed.

To... to family!

Today she tells me that she never loved him,

Tonight Mr Johnny's gonna propose marriage.

Tonight Mr Johnny's gonna propose marriage.

Too young?

Tutti a casa.

Tutti! Andiamo a casa.

Twice I took the Lord's name in vain,

Two weeks... No more.

Unless something goes wrong. And something always goes wrong.

Upstairs.

Very good, Miss Loretta.

Very good, Mr Johnny.

Very good.

Vieni, vieni.

Wait a minute, wait...

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Wait for me by the doors, Mona.

Waiter.

Waiter.

Was.

Watch it! The house!

We are here to ruin ourselves

We can get this out on the table.

We can talk about it, right? Everybody knows.

We could go to my apartment. See how the other half lives.

We haven't spoken in five years.

We just come from the bank.

We never suspected you.

We should have been plumbers like Castorini.

We will both have the Ticino salad.

Well, don't wait till she's dead.

Well, maybe. Do you wanna know why I chase women?

Well, Mr Castorini, what do you think?

Well, she's got a lot on her mind.

Well, stick around. Don't go on any long trips.

Well, that explains it, then.

Well, the man understood me.

Well, we're gonna get married.

Well, what do you wanna talk about?

Well...

Well... that's not what I hear.

What about the wedding?

What am I gonna tell him?

What are we painting here? The Sistine Chapel?

What are you doing?

What are you talking about, you fool?

What are you talking about? Cosmo can't own the moon.

What did I do with that card?

What do you do?

What do you mean?! I've seen the way you look at her

What exactly does your husband do?

What good is this stupid life that God gave us? I mean, for what?

What is life?

What is she gonna do with the rest of her life if she don't get married?

What sins have you to confess?

What the hell happened to you?

What was that second thing you said, Loretta?

What you don't know about women is a lot.

What you don't know is I think he and I had bad luck.

What?!

What?! He's in Sicily.

What's 37? I didn't have Ciro until after I was 37.
