00:00:02.990 --> 00:00:05.690 align:middle line:84%
"Roma Termini--"
termini, termini.

00:00:05.690 --> 00:00:09.410 align:middle line:90%
It's the end station in Rome.

00:00:09.410 --> 00:00:14.040 align:middle line:84%
If you say it in Italian,
it sounds more interesting.

00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:16.170 align:middle line:84%
The woman she looks
like was a woman

00:00:16.170 --> 00:00:19.890 align:middle line:84%
he'd been crazily in
love with 40 years ago

00:00:19.890 --> 00:00:24.420 align:middle line:84%
who hadn't loved him but once
was tempted enough, or kind

00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:28.950 align:middle line:84%
enough, or cruel enough to
kiss him in front of her door

00:00:28.950 --> 00:00:32.910 align:middle line:84%
with a passion that has
lasted all these years.

00:00:32.910 --> 00:00:36.630 align:middle line:84%
And at the end, "someday
maybe" is what she said.

00:00:36.630 --> 00:00:39.300 align:middle line:90%


00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:43.980 align:middle line:84%
Her umbrella yellow, her
lipstick bright red, gleaming.

00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:47.130 align:middle line:84%
Not a year has been
added to her years.

00:00:47.130 --> 00:00:49.800 align:middle line:90%
Too late, too late.

00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:52.560 align:middle line:84%
Now you who believe
you have outgrown

00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.790 align:middle line:84%
the juvenilia of your
dreams observe this man.

00:00:56.790 --> 00:01:00.030 align:middle line:84%
He stands by himself
on a station platform,

00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:03.660 align:middle line:84%
still waiting for
his kiss, overwhelmed

00:01:03.660 --> 00:01:08.640 align:middle line:84%
by the small damages our
histories do to us, how memory

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.700 align:middle line:84%
retards us with
its generous gifts,

00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:16.280 align:middle line:84%
then when it most
matters, takes them back.
