:07:03
Because they do.
:07:06
They go on forever.
:07:09
At least what they represent:
the eternal in us.
:07:13
Opera is here to ennoble us, Mozart.
:07:16
You and me,
just the same as His Majesty.
:07:23
"Bello, bello, bello. "
Come on now, be honest!
:07:27
You'd rather listen to your hairdresser
than Hercules, Horatius or Orpheus.
:07:33
People so lofty, they sound
as if they shit marble!
:07:38
What!
:07:40
Govern your tongue, Mozart!
How dare you!
:07:48
Forgive me, Majesty.
:07:52
I'm a vulgar man...
:07:54
...but I assure you, my music is not.
:08:01
You are passionate, Mozart...
:08:04
...but you do not persuade.
:08:10
Sire, the whole opera is finished.
:08:14
Do you know how much work
went into it?
:08:18
His Majesty has been
more than patient, Signore.
:08:24
How can I persuade if I can't show it?
:08:27
That will do, Herr Mozart.
:08:32
Just let me tell you how it begins.
:08:35
May I just do that, Majesty?
Show you how it begins? Just that?
:08:44
Please.
:08:46
Look...
:08:48
There's a servant on his knees.
Do you know why?
:08:52
Not from oppression.
He's measuring a space.
:08:55
Do you know what for?
:08:57
His bed. His wedding bed.
