00:17:07,916 --> 00:17:10,875
I heard a story once
that you burned all your dresses.
186
00:17:11,625 --> 00:17:12,625
What dresses?
187
00:17:13,416 --> 00:17:14,833
Your old theater costumes.
188
00:17:15,750 --> 00:17:17,124
That is true.
189
00:17:17,125 --> 00:17:18,208
Bravo.
190
00:17:19,125 --> 00:17:20,708
This will be worthwhile.
191
00:17:21,916 --> 00:17:24,833
I burnt my dresses before I left Milan.
192
00:17:25,875 --> 00:17:27,249
May I ask why?
193
00:17:27,250 --> 00:17:28,791
No, you may not.
194
00:17:31,166 --> 00:17:33,624
Uh, then, when did you
last perform on stage?
195
00:17:33,625 --> 00:17:36,375
You really should be more
persistent with your questions.
196
00:17:36,875 --> 00:17:40,125
I burnt my theater dresses,
because they were a part of the past.
197
00:17:40,666 --> 00:17:44,125
And to answer your...
less interesting question,
198
00:17:45,083 --> 00:17:47,458
I last performed
four-and-a-half years ago.
199
00:17:47,958 --> 00:17:52,750
Because performing on stage
is also a part of the past.
200
00:17:53,583 --> 00:17:55,291
[Mandrax] You'll never perform again?
201
00:17:56,166 --> 00:17:57,083
No.
202
00:18:00,541 --> 00:18:02,583
Then tell me how it felt to be on stage?
203
00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:05,541
[Maria] An exaltation.
204
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:08,125
An intoxication.
205
00:18:09,375 --> 00:18:13,291
Sometimes I thought
the stage itself would burn.
206
00:18:15,791 --> 00:18:17,125
And on the bad days?
207
00:18:18,166 --> 00:18:20,374
[Maria] Well, there are two sides.
208
00:18:20,375 --> 00:18:23,083
One side says to fight.
209
00:18:24,250 --> 00:18:29,166
And the other says, "You are awful,
and you should be ashamed."
210
00:18:31,958 --> 00:18:34,833
I'm afraid audiences expect miracles.
211
00:18:36,208 --> 00:18:38,208
I can no longer perform miracles.
212
00:18:39,416 --> 00:18:42,750
Perhaps we could speak a little
of your life away from the stage.
213
00:18:43,375 --> 00:18:45,625
There is no life away from the stage.
214
00:18:46,333 --> 00:18:48,000
The stage is in my mind.
215
00:18:52,958 --> 00:18:54,040
I have to go.
216
00:18:54,041 --> 00:18:55,750
- Go?
- [Maria] Yes.
217
00:18:56,458 --> 00:18:58,124
No, we were promised three hours.
218
00:18:58,125 --> 00:18:59,332
Then come with me.
219
00:18:59,333 --> 00:19:00,583
Come with you where?
220
00:19:01,541 --> 00:19:04,083
"Come with me," said the Diva,
221
00:19:04,625 --> 00:19:07,041
and there was really no need to ask where.
222
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,333
Then I will come with you,
wherever you're going.
223
00:19:13,666 --> 00:19:15,208
Walk with me across Paris.
224
00:19:15,916 --> 00:19:19,833
My butler says that Mandrax
is a very unreliable companion, but
225
00:19:20,750 --> 00:19:22,583

Bruna is my housekeeper.

She was making an omelet.
272

She makes magnificent... omelets.

She knows little about opera.
274

And what she knows, she learned from me.
275
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:55,750
And what she has learned from me
is to always be complimentary.
276

So I am here on the word
of an obedient housemaid.

If you buy a recording,

"Blackbird Song."
281
00:23:20,291 --> 00:23:24,375
There must be a song
just called "Human Song."

00:24:20,291 --> 00:24:22,333
- Mr. Onassis still?

It made me sick.

Everything swelled, except my ego.
307
00:24:50,125 --> 00:24:51,082
I was in Japan,
308

and all the Japanese doctors said,
"What is this thing?"
309
00:24:54,125 --> 00:24:57,624
And my people said,
"Well, this is La Divina, La Prima Donna."
310
00:24:57,625 --> 00:25:00,915
And they said, "But then
why does she look like a purple frog?"

"Ticktock, ticktock. The brute is dead."

about something, or scared,

or bitter, or whatever it is,
328

[Ferruccio] I asked the doctor
to wait for you.
362
00:28:58,416 --> 00:28:59,750
Dr. Fontainebleau,
363
00:29:00,583 --> 00:29:01,666
Maria Callas.
364
00:29:02,666 --> 00:29:05,125
I'm a huge admirer of your work.
365
00:29:05,958 --> 00:29:06,958
[Maria] Hmm.
366
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:10,458
And how is my butler's back?
367
00:29:11,291 --> 00:29:14,124
Oh, there is no cure for it
368
00:29:14,125 --> 00:29:16,541
other than stop moving pianos.
369
00:29:17,375 --> 00:29:18,500
[Maria] Hmm.
370
00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:21,082
I showed him the diary,
371
00:29:21,083 --> 00:29:23,583
the medicines
that you are taking every day.
372
00:29:26,250 --> 00:29:27,125
[Maria] Hmm.
373
00:29:27,833 --> 00:29:31,874
I have a strange feeling
sharing someone's medical information
374
00:29:31,875 --> 00:29:33,333
is against the law.
375
00:29:34,916 --> 00:29:37,165
- No?
- [Fontainebleau] Madame? Uh...
376
00:29:37,166 --> 00:29:38,082
[Maria] Mm?
377
00:29:38,083 --> 00:29:40,541
I need to have a conversation with you
378
00:29:41,250 --> 00:29:42,583
about life and death.
379
00:29:43,666 --> 00:29:45,832
About sanity and insanity.
380
00:29:45,833 --> 00:29:49,707
[piano softly plays "Ave Maria"
from Verdi's Otello ]
381
00:29:49,708 --> 00:29:52,000
[birds chirp]
382
00:29:57,291 --> 00:29:59,083
The piano is in a good place.
383
00:30:01,041 --> 00:30:02,041
Thank you.
384
00:30:09,833 --> 00:30:11,750
[footsteps recede]
385
00:30:13,291 --> 00:30:14,750
[Fontainebleau] Madame, please.
386
00:30:17,666 --> 00:30:18,750
[Maria clears throat]
387
00:30:21,458 --> 00:30:22,875
[piano continues playing]
388
00:30:27,750 --> 00:30:30,208
[Bruna] I'm going to cook,
and she will be better.
389
00:30:31,125 --> 00:30:32,208
[piano stops]
390
00:30:32,708 --> 00:30:33,875
She's too skinny.
391
00:30:35,416 --> 00:30:37,458
She hasn't eaten for three days.
392
00:30:38,250 --> 00:30:39,375
[Bruna sniffs]
393
00:30:40,375 --> 00:30:43,041
Last time, she didn't eat
for four days, so...
394
00:30:43,958 --> 00:30:45,458
[piano resumes]
395
00:30:46,041 --> 00:30:47,208
...we're still okay.
396
00:30:49,333 --> 00:30:50,208
Hmm?
397
00:30:58,041 --> 00:31:02,208
Yeah, but then you're going to prepare it,
and she'll give it to the dogs, as usual.
398
00:31:03,250 --> 00:31:04,166
[Bruna sighs]
399
00:31:04,875 --> 00:31:07,791
[piano continues "Ave Maria"]
400
00:31:19,041 --> 00:31:22,083
[orchestra softly joins]
401
00:31:51,875 --> 00:31:53,000
[Ferruccio] Madam?
402
00:31:57,041 --> 00:31:58,500
[Maria] Leave me alone.
403
00:32:01,916 --> 00:32:03,375
Madam, I have made coffee.
404
00:32:06,208 --> 00:32:07,415
[Maria] Mm-hmm.
405
00:32:07,416 --> 00:32:08,791
[Ferruccio] Madam, also,
406
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,875
there is a message for you.
407
00:32:12,875 --> 00:32:14,374
- [Maria] Mm?
- From the pianist.
408
00:32:14,375 --> 00:32:17,332
[hesitates] He said,
uh, no matter what happens,
409
00:32:17,333 --> 00:32:19,790
you must go to see him again tomorrow.
410
00:32:19,791 --> 00:32:22,541
He said he heard hope in your voice.
411
00:32:25,333 --> 00:32:27,207
I thought that might be a good thing.
412
00:32:27,208 --> 00:32:29,582
- I thought that, uh...
- Mm?
413
00:32:29,583 --> 00:32:30,958
It might make you happy.
414
00:32:35,458 --> 00:32:37,250
The medicine cabinet is unlocked.
415
00:32:38,458 --> 00:32:39,791
You can throw it all away.
416
00:32:41,291 --> 00:32:44,415
Ah, um, that is not
what the doctor told us we should do.
417
00:32:44,416 --> 00:32:46,000
Was he even a doctor?
418
00:32:46,958 --> 00:32:49,041
[Ferruccio] He's a specialist, madam.
419
00:32:49,666 --> 00:32:51,500
And what does he specialize in?
420
00:32:52,208 --> 00:32:53,041
Blood.
421
00:32:53,833 --> 00:32:56,082
That is why he took
a sample of your blood.
422
00:32:56,083 --> 00:32:58,875
But he said, even before
the result of the test,
423
00:32:59,666 --> 00:33:01,832
we should get your medication
under control.
424
00:33:01,833 --> 00:33:03,374
It is under control.
425
00:33:03,375 --> 00:33:04,999
It's under my control.
426
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,875
And doctors hate that.
427
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,041
I need you to make me an appointment
with a hairdresser that doesn't speak.
428
00:33:14,583 --> 00:33:17,207
And when I write my autobiography,
429
00:33:17,208 --> 00:33:20,832
I will title it
The Day Ferruccio Saved My Life.
430
00:33:20,833 --> 00:33:23,290
And what day was that, madam?
431
00:33:23,291 --> 00:33:25,541
Every day. Every single day.
432
00:33:26,250 --> 00:33:27,458
That's why I hate you.
433
00:33:28,041 --> 00:33:31,791
I fall into a river,
and you always fish me out.
434
00:33:34,291 --> 00:33:35,583
Yes, madam.
435
00:33:36,958 --> 00:33:40,125
Book me a table at the café
where the waiters know who I am.
436
00:33:40,958 --> 00:33:42,541
I'm in the mood for adulation.
437
00:34:10,333 --> 00:34:11,540
[bustling chatter]
438
00:34:11,541 --> 00:34:12,874
[music fades]
439
00:34:12,875 --> 00:34:14,957
- [man] Madame Callas.
- [Maria] Hmm.
440
00:34:14,958 --> 00:34:19,208
I just wanted to say that once,
in New York, you broke my heart.
441
00:34:19,833 --> 00:34:20,915
What aria?
442
00:34:20,916 --> 00:34:23,457
No, no, you broke my heart
because I bought two tickets
443
00:34:23,458 --> 00:34:25,333
and you failed to appear.
444
00:34:25,833 --> 00:34:27,332
They said you were unwell, so...
445
00:34:27,333 --> 00:34:29,166
- C'est la vie.
- Then I was unwell.
446
00:34:29,833 --> 00:34:31,165
It's okay. No hard feelings.
447
00:34:31,166 --> 00:34:34,040
- [sharply] I was unwell.
- Madame, it's okay.
448
00:34:34,041 --> 00:34:36,582
I forgot about it
until I saw you just now.
449
00:34:36,583 --> 00:34:40,750
People always said I was faking it.
I was never faking it.
450
00:34:41,666 --> 00:34:44,375
You have no idea, no idea of the pain
451
00:34:44,875 --> 00:34:49,375
to pull music through your belly,
out your poor mouth.
452
00:34:50,458 --> 00:34:51,750
No idea!
453
00:34:55,875 --> 00:34:57,750
[footsteps recede]
454
00:35:00,416 --> 00:35:01,375
Madame.
455
00:35:02,250 --> 00:35:04,458
Perhaps we can find you a seat inside.
456
00:35:04,958 --> 00:35:06,125
I'm not hungry.
457
00:35:07,750 --> 00:35:10,041
I come to restaurants to be adored.
458
00:35:13,625 --> 00:35:14,500
Please.
459
00:35:16,625 --> 00:35:18,958
[inhales deeply, sighs]
460
00:35:20,333 --> 00:35:23,582
[orchestra plays "Intermezzo"
from Verdi's La Traviata]
461
00:35:23,583 --> 00:35:24,791
[sighs]
462
00:35:33,625 --> 00:35:34,500
Thank you.
463
00:36:02,708 --> 00:36:06,375
May I say that tonight
you defined Violetta forever.
464
00:36:07,291 --> 00:36:08,958
You are Violetta.
465
00:36:13,541 --> 00:36:15,541
[partygoers murmuring]
466
00:36:16,125 --> 00:36:17,249
- Maria.
- [Maria] Hmm.
467
00:36:17,250 --> 00:36:20,083
- [Meneghini] Where have you been?
- [Maria] I think you know.
468
00:36:20,583 --> 00:36:22,165
- [man] Excuse me.
- [Maria] Mm?
469
00:36:22,166 --> 00:36:25,041
My English no good, but flower says it.
470
00:36:25,791 --> 00:36:27,458
Magnificent Traviata.
471
00:36:28,166 --> 00:36:29,040
Mm.
472
00:36:29,041 --> 00:36:32,208
- Tonight, everyone wants to worship you.
- Mm.
473
00:36:32,750 --> 00:36:35,291
Excuse me, Madame Callas.
474
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,290
There is someone
who's just dying to meet you.
475
00:36:39,291 --> 00:36:41,874
I wondered if you would
make his day, his week,
476
00:36:41,875 --> 00:36:44,000
his month, his life.
477
00:36:45,708 --> 00:36:49,040
Excuse me, sir, may I borrow
your wife just for a few moments?
478
00:36:49,041 --> 00:36:52,333
- [chuckles] I think there is a queue.
- No, I don't queue.
479
00:36:58,916 --> 00:36:59,916
[Maria] Who are you?
480
00:37:00,666 --> 00:37:02,083
Aristotle Onassis.
481
00:37:02,833 --> 00:37:05,041
This is my party, thrown in your honor.
482
00:37:06,291 --> 00:37:10,250
And if you want to count them,
I got a thousand pink roses just for you.
483
00:37:12,750 --> 00:37:15,207
I was told it was a smart thing to do
484
00:37:15,208 --> 00:37:18,625
to associate myself
with the Prima Donna Assoluta.
485
00:37:19,833 --> 00:37:23,124
So this party was a business strategy.
486
00:37:23,125 --> 00:37:24,040
[Maria] Hmm.
487
00:37:24,041 --> 00:37:25,500
But then I fell in love.
488
00:37:26,208 --> 00:37:28,666
- You fell in love with opera.
- No.
489
00:37:29,375 --> 00:37:30,833
I fell in love with you.
490
00:37:32,125 --> 00:37:33,041
[Maria] Hmm.
491
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,375
I'm ugly, but I'm rich.
492
00:37:41,708 --> 00:37:44,500
I'm Greek, but I'm from Argentina.
493
00:37:45,625 --> 00:37:46,708
I'm married,
494
00:37:47,625 --> 00:37:49,333
but it's 1959.
495
00:37:50,041 --> 00:37:50,875
So...
496
00:37:51,916 --> 00:37:54,625
To falling in love through binoculars.
497
00:37:55,708 --> 00:37:57,250
I watched you through these.
498
00:37:59,333 --> 00:38:00,332
[Maria] You love me,
499
00:38:00,333 --> 00:38:03,249
and yet you've never
set eyes on me before tonight.
500
00:38:03,250 --> 00:38:04,957
Oh!
501
00:38:04,958 --> 00:38:06,333
Now I'm offended.
502
00:38:07,125 --> 00:38:08,999
- We met.
- Hmm?
503
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,416
In Venice. At the film festival.
504
00:38:12,333 --> 00:38:14,832
But I guess there were
a lot of movie stars,
505
00:38:14,833 --> 00:38:17,375
so you forgot the little ugly guy.
506
00:38:18,208 --> 00:38:20,875
Well, I didn't forget you.
507
00:38:22,500 --> 00:38:23,750
Do you want to dance?
508
00:38:25,541 --> 00:38:27,583
I should get back to my husband.
509
00:38:28,875 --> 00:38:31,124
You will never go back to your husband.
510
00:38:31,125 --> 00:38:32,041
[Maria] Hmm.
511
00:38:33,791 --> 00:38:36,082
Sometimes this thing happens,
512
00:38:36,083 --> 00:38:38,874
the thing... that's happening right now.
513
00:38:38,875 --> 00:38:42,083
And what is the thing
that is happening right now? Hmm?
514
00:38:42,666 --> 00:38:44,082
A decision is made.
515
00:38:44,083 --> 00:38:45,708
Not by anyone, but
516
00:38:46,208 --> 00:38:47,791
it's how it's going to be.
517
00:38:50,166 --> 00:38:52,041
I'm sorry, Mr. Onassis.
518
00:38:52,958 --> 00:38:55,290
Am I supposed to be feeling something?
519
00:38:55,291 --> 00:38:56,416
Yes.
520
00:38:57,375 --> 00:38:59,000
For the first time in your life.
521
00:39:01,125 --> 00:39:02,749
[music fades]
522
00:39:02,750 --> 00:39:03,666
Well.
523
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:08,707
There's a point where self-confidence
becomes a kind of insanity.
524
00:39:08,708 --> 00:39:09,749
[Onassis chuckles]
525
00:39:09,750 --> 00:39:13,000
I crossed that border long, long ago.
526
00:39:14,041 --> 00:39:15,499
I don't mean to be abrupt.
527
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:17,499
Oh, I think I can confidently say
528
00:39:17,500 --> 00:39:18,707
you are being abrupt.
529
00:39:18,708 --> 00:39:20,249
[Onassis chuckles]
530
00:39:20,250 --> 00:39:23,374
"Abrupt" might not even be
a strong enough word for what you are.
531
00:39:23,375 --> 00:39:24,374
[Onassis chuckles]
532
00:39:24,375 --> 00:39:27,625
- But there is a ship, my ship.
- Mm-hmm?
533
00:39:28,166 --> 00:39:29,665
- Called the Christina.
- Yes.
534
00:39:29,666 --> 00:39:33,124
Sailing from Monte Carlo to Greece
on the 21st of July.
535
00:39:33,125 --> 00:39:34,041
[Maria] Mm-hmm?
536
00:39:34,875 --> 00:39:36,332
I'd love you to be on board.
537

I will belong to you, hmm?

Yes.
1472

I should never have tried
to stop you singing.

[Maria] Because he asked me to.

Yes, but he wanted you.
