The Brutalist

Excuse me, sorry.

For those of you

that don't speak English,

please engage myself or any of my colleagues

located in the back so we may inform you

about our language and orientation programs,

which are held in this very room,

425 Lafayette.

Remember that address.

Additionally, classes and daily meetings are held

where many of you will be sleeping tonight

over at the Hotel Marseilles,

located on 103rd and Broadway.

Those of you for whom

none of the aforementioned details apply

and who will be immediately departing

for other destinations in the morning,

please see me about your $25 travel aid.

These vouchers are redeemable on trains

and participating bus services.

This is Albert B Chandler.

At this time, I would like to introduce a boy

who will be under the leadership of Babe Ruth

when Babe takes over his new job as director of baseball

for the American Legion.

Representing the boys of the American Legion,

speaking for every American boy,

ladies and gentlemen, here is Larry...

It has been some time, sorry.

What's wrong?

Don't you think I'm beautiful?

I... I do.

Which parts of me do you find most beautiful?

- All parts. - Stop it.

I don't find all the parts of you beautiful.

Fuck her.

Can you tell your friend to be polite?

My legs? Are they too thin?

No. You are well proportioned.

It is the space above your brow

for me which is the problem.

What did you say?

That is something I do not like.

Your face is ugly.

I know it is.

We have boys, if you prefer.

No, thank you.

Brothers with dark skin, but handsome.

No, no. Not for me.

- Wait! - Wait!

Wait! Wait!

- Hey! - Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

- Hey, thank you. Thank you. - Thanks.

It was great. It was great.

I will see you.

- I will see you. - I will see you.

- I will see you. - Great. Wait, wait.

- For the luck. For the luck. - Thanks.

- Bye, friend. - Bye, friend.

See you.

Bye.

See you.

Perhaps no state or nation

in all the history of man

has been the deciding ground of so many human issues

as has the state of Pennsylvania.

Decisions that founded and assured survival

of a great nation,

that brought into being

important colonization movements,

that established freedom of worship in America,

that founded great religions,

that gave birth to America's educational system,

that launched tremendous industrial empires,

that forged the steel sinews and powered the driving wheels

of today's great civilization.

Here is where things happen, where decisions are made,

where industry is making the greatest strides

of any state or nation in the world.

Pennsylvania.

Land of decision for America, for American industry,

and for American families.

Attila.

Cousin.

Cousin.

Erzsébet is alive.

What? What?

Yeah?

Yeah?

Thank you. Thank you.

It's a combination of things,

but I would say

the most popular is the cabinetry

which we do ourselves, custom-to-order.

The lamps, too.

And here it is.

Audrey did the displays.

He's talking like an American from the television now.

Yes, well, we don't have a television,

but he's been here since before I was born,

and still doesn't sound like any American I've ever met.

Eight years ago,

we tried opening something similar in Manhattan.

We lasted two months.

We couldn't compete with the name brands.

Newlyweds, they come in with a...

an issue of Better Homes and Gardens

and they say...

"We like... We like that table next to the perfume ad."

And we say, "Well, we can make you something like that."

And they say, "No, sir, we want exactly that."

Yeah. Turns out we don't like New York at all.

No charm, right, Audrey?

Every little urchin you come across,

and seller, buyer, delivery boy,

is running a hustle.

I'm from Connecticut myself. Do you know it?

Of course he doesn't know it, Audrey. He just got here.

Give me that.

So...

Cleared out a space for you in the back.

Audrey made you a bed.

It's just there.

A cot and a lamp for now, but...

feel free to take anything you want from the showroom.

That's all I need.

And for the employee restroom, you go out the front door,

around the back to where I parked the car,

you remember?

There's a stairway there that takes you up to our apartment.

If you need anything, you just knock.

You and your wife have done more than enough.

You know, we know someone

who could take a look at your nose.

I thought maybe no one would notice.

What happened?

If you don't mind my asking.

I jumped from a railcar.

A few moments later, there was a loud cracking sound and...

I thought someone had shot me in the head,

but I'd merely run into the branch of a tree.

No one was shooting at me.

I take something for the pain but...

I'd like to have it looked at. Thank you.

We'll give Kenneth a call.

Come. Take a seat at my desk.

I'll fetch some towels.

Is it smaller than you expected?

What?

Oh, the shop.

No.

No, I had no expectation.

Who is Miller?

I'm Miller.

No, you are Molnár.

Not anymore.

- No Miller, no sons. - Yeah.

The folks here, they like a family business.

So what do you think?

Of what? The furniture?

No, well, I meant of everything so far.

Philadelphia.

But, sure, the pieces on the floor also.

They're not very beautiful.

Well, that's what you are here for.

Maestro.

Next month, I can put you on the payroll.

If you want,

you can eat with us upstairs on Sundays.

You have done more than enough.

- Don't mention it. - I do mention it.

I do mention.

She's Catholic.

We are Catholic.

We welcome donations of food and clothing.

Please help the homeless.

Help the homeless. Please help the homeless.

Your donations help to provide shelter, food, clothing...

Please help the homeless.

Help the homeless.

It's your turn now, William.

Please help the homeless.

I spy with my eye something blue.

Help the homeless.

Is it this gentleman's coat?

He's clever.

You're right. There is a little blue in it.

Listen up!

Kitchen's closed, folks. Get back early tomorrow.

Oh, oh!

Wait! Hold on. I got a kid here.

Sorry, we're fresh out.

Come find me in the morning.

I'll make sure he gets a plate.

You must have a slice of bread.

He's just a little boy. There are children here.

How many times do you people want me to say it?

There's nothing left here.

Thank you, sir.
