The Legend of the Holy Drinker (La leggenda del santo bevitore)

Where do you go, brother?

I didn't know I have a brother!

Where do I go? Who knows!

You are a foreigner.

I can show you the way.

What?

It is God that puts you

on my way, I am certain of it.

I have to ask you a great favor.

You ask me a favor?

Certainly.

I know that you are worth of it.

It will be my pleasure.

Don't get offended

if I talk to you frankly.

In this moment

you are in some difficulty.

You are in need of money.

No! dont be offended,

it can happen to anybody.

I have many more money

than I need.

Please, please.

Wont you tell me how much

you need, just tell me.

Twenty francs would be all right?

You need more than that.

You need at least two hundred.

Two hundred?

Two hundred of course

would be a lot better.

I cannot accept.

Why not?

Cos' I would not know

how to pay back the money.

You cannot even come

after me to ask for it.

I havent got a house,

I sleep under the bridges.

Every night a different bridge.

But I am a man of honor,

I know how to behave.

I just dont have

an address thats all.

I have no address either,

cant even tell you the name of the bank.

Now, do take this money and

don't worry about it.

In any case it is a ridiculous sum

for a man like you.

I know that you are a man of honor.

So when you are in the position to repay the money,

will you do me the favor which I ask you.

I must confide to you...

... an extraordinary thing.

I have read the story

of little Therese...

... the saint of Lisieux.

Since then I've been living a miracle...

... a real miracle.,

The miracle of conversion

This way I have decided to live

the life of the poor men...

... as all those that come here,

to sleep under the bridges.

I am particularly devoted

to the statuette of little Therese.

It is in the church

of Sainte Marie de Batignolles...

... in the right hand of aisle,

along the wall. - But me...

There is no hurry.

When you will be in the position

to repay the money...

... if your conscience not to

allow you to remain in debt...

... take the money to the priest

after the mass.

If there is someone whom

you are in debt, from now on...

... it is to little Therese.

So don't forget the address

of the saint.

Thanks.

Then I give you my word

I will keep my word.

I think it is best to go

on Sunday. - Pertect.

It is a great pleasure.

"Saint Therese."

"Sainte Marie... "

"... de Batignolles."

A soup!

Here.

It is Thursday! - Already.

I was born on Thursday.

Then have a nice Thursday. - You too.

A coffee, please.

No a rum.

We don't serve alcohols.

A moment.

I'll be right back.

A coffee with rum, please.

Twelve francs.

How would you like a job?

Tomorrow I have to move.

You can earn something.

I have already called two movers,

but my wife is worrying.

I've got a shop to mind.

What about giving us a hand.

Certain.

It would be for two days.

Two days?

Tomorrow and Saturday.

For me it is all right.

Two hundred francs OK?

Yes, thanks.

Then we agree.

Pertect.

Let's drink to it.

I'll offer.

Because, today it is really a fine day.

It is Thursday.

It is my birthday.

Indeed?

More or less.

The next one is on me.

It is a matter of honor.

You look at my hands,

they are worker's hands...

... but I am also a gentleman.

Certain.

Here is my calling card,

of the shop.

I'll write the address here.

What are you doing?

It is my turn, don't you remember?

Take these on account,

so you come tomorrow for sure.

And when the job's done,

I will give you the rest...

... and we will make a toast.

Now my friend, I have to go.

Don't forget it. Tomorrow...

... at eight o'clock.

Eight o'clock.

Good-bye, my friend.

Me...

I would like a wallet.

A wallet?

Yes. Maybe we have something for you.

These are like new.

The customers change them

just to have the most recent ones.

They are equal and they cost much less.

Oh I see.

Do you like this one?

It is very beautiful.

Good-bye.

Good morning.

Start from the kitchen.

I am here for...

Good morning, this way.

My husband has said

that I can trust you.

For the most fragile things

we will use the newspapers.

You know how to do it?

Yes.

I do it all the time.

First thing you did?

I was a miner...

... like my father

and some farmer was my grandfather.

They are delicate things.

Take it.

See you tomorrow at seven o'clock.

At seven o'clock.

See you later.

Don't spend it all to drink!

Good, you have not spent all to drink.

Come.

Yes, lady.

Good-bye.

Here!

It is ready in table!

Good-bye, my friend.

Goodbye.

Today it is Saturday, true?

Yes.

So tomorrow it is Sunday.

"Debt, 200 francs."

"Account, 100 francs."

"To have, 100 francs."

> Mr.! your overcoat.

Thanks.

Thanks so many.
