GUIDO: Could you leave everything behind and start from zero again? Pick one thing, and one only, and be absolutely devoted to it? Make it the reason for your existence, the thing that contains everything, that becomes everything, because your dedication to it makes it last forever? Could you?
CLAUDIA: …And what about you? Could you?
GUIDO: …No, this guy here, he couldn’t. He wants to grab everything, can’t give up a single thing. He changes his mind every day, because he’s afraid he might miss the right path. And he’s slowly bleeding to death. Then one day he meets the girl of the spring. She’s one of those girls that distributes the healing water; she’s beautiful, young and ancient, a child and a woman already, authentic and radiant. There’s no doubt she’s his salvation. You’ll be dressed in white and your hair will be long, just the way you wear it.
CLAUDIA: A guy like your character, who doesn’t love anybody, is not very sympathetic you know. It’s his fault. What does he expect?
GUIDO: You think I don’t know that?
CLAUDIA: I don’t understand. He meets a girl that can give him a new life and he pushes her away?
GUIDO: Because he no longer believes in it.
CLAUDIA: Because he doesn’t know how to love.
GUIDO: Because it isn’t true that a woman can change a man.
CLAUDIA: Because he doesn’t know how to love.
GUIDO: And above all because I don’t feel like telling another pile of lies.
CLAUDIA: Because he doesn’t know how to love.
