But they all came from the outside,
we didn't create them.

1:03:04
For 2500 years
we've only been a colony.

1:03:07
l know it's our own fault.
1:03:10
But we are tired, void,
and lack vitality.

1:03:13
Prince, that belongs to the past.
1:03:16
Sicily is no longer
a land to be conquered.

1:03:19
lt's a free land in a free State.
1:03:24
l know you all mean well,
but you're late.

1:03:52
Sleep. That's what Sicilians want,
a long sleep.

1:03:58
They will hate those
who want to wake them up.

1:04:02
Were it even to give them
beautiful gifts.

1:04:06
But l doubt that the new Kingdom

Here, any action,
even the most violent,

1:04:19
represents a longing for oblivion.
1:04:26
Our sensuality
is a longing for oblivion.

1:04:31
We shoot and stab
because we long for death.

1:04:36
Our laziness, the penetrating
sweetness of our ice-cream

1:04:41
are a longing
for voluptuous immobility.

1:04:43
That is, again, for death.
1:04:58
l'm afraid you're exaggerating,
Prince.
