Your apartment is so... sparse. [Estefano] I don't know what you expected? Baroque chandeliers? [Kirk] Well... It's hard to verbalize. You're constantly forcing me to redefine everything. [Estefano] Ad esempio?... [Kirk] I don't see any Oscars here, awards or dedicated wall for such things. All actors I met have them. You have this weird cubist picture of a woman with a child. [Estefano] It's not a cubist picture. It's an icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. I don't need these baubles, but my mother loves collecting them and showing them to her noisy neighbours. [Kirk] Who? [Estefano] The mother of the Lord. Are you this dumb because you're american or is there some other reason? This is byzantine iconography. [Kirk] No one thought me. [Estefano] And you never cared to know, right? [Kirk] Er...yes... [Pre-chorus] [Kirk] Can it be this awkward on the posters? Can it be?.. * Can it be?.. Are my cheeks red as well? Are they?... * Are they... [Chorus, choir] Proper decorum needs to be taught And picked up from infancy In order to be ingrained In the adult phases of life. [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 2] [Estefano] Here are the drinks. Why are you so nervous? [Kirk] It's been a lot of pressure at work these days. Deadlines and such, [Estefano] I see. You can tell me about it. [Kirk] Really? [Estefano] Yes, why not? I thought you'd like to remain in touch after the interview. [Kirk] Really???.... Well, it's true, we've done a lot of work, but we still haven't completed it, though it will be a piece of cake, given how well things were going so far... Right? [Estefano] Certo. [Pre-chorus] [Estefano] Can it be this awkward on the big screen? Can it be?.. * Can it be?.. Why are my cheeks flaring up? Why are they?... * Why are they... [Chorus, choir] One can be right, One can also be wrong. At the end of the day, You never know. [Instrumental bridge - Ghammaz section with taqsim - 2 bars] [Ghammaz Section - non-lexical vocalizations] * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... [Verse 3] [Estefano] Send me a message when you get home. [Kirk] I will. You know... [Estefano] Si? [Kirk] I've been carrying this for quite some time. It's for you. Take it. [Estefano] It's a book? [Kirk] Yes. I wrote it. Hope you like it. Ciao, Estefano. [Estefano] Hey, Kirk. Aspetta, perché stai correndo? Così veloce, incredibile!... Perché non era così veloce quando andavamo a correre? Io non sarei riuscito a stargli dietro... Non importa... Grazie... [Pre-chorus] [Estefano] It's never this awkward on the big screen. It never is. * It never is. Yes, my cheeks are flaring up. They are. * They are. [Chorus, choir] A gift is evidence of friendship. The tighter wrapped, the warmer. A gift is evidence of convergent spirits. The prettier wrapped, the more evident. [start fade out, slow down] [Vorspiel - 2 bars, fadeout] [Outro] * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... * 嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯嗯... [end]
