美国往事Once Upon a Time in America Movie Script

Youse both alike, that's why you hate each other so much.

Do you want me to leave?

No, I don't want you to leave.

- You asking?

- I'm asking.

I'm dancing.

There were two things I couldn't get out of my mind. One was Dominic.

The way he said, "I slipped," just before he died.

The other was you.

How you used to read me your Song of Songs, remember?

"How beautiful are your feet In sandals, O prince's daughter. " I used to read the Bible every night.

Every night I used to think about you.

"Your navel is a bowl Well-rounded with no lack of wine. " "Your belly, a heap of wheat Surrounded with lilies. " "Your breasts... " "... clusters of grapes. " "Your breath, sweet-scented as apples. " Nobody's gonna love you the way I loved you.

There were times I couldn't stand it.

I used to think about you.

I'd think, "Deborah lives.

She's out there. She exists. " And that would get me through it all.

You know how important that was to me?

I'm leaving tomorrow to go to Hollywood.

I wanted to see you tonight to tell you.

No.
