00:00:51,968 --> 00:00:57,I still ask myself if I did the right
thing, when I abandoned this floating city.

00:00:59,143 --> 00:01:01,And I don't mean only for the work.

00:01:03,614 --> 00:01:07,The fact is,
a friend like that,

00:01:07,859 --> 00:01:10,a real friend,

00:01:10,661 --> 00:01:12,you won't meet one again

00:01:13,481 --> 00:01:16,if you just decide to
hang up your sea legs,

00:01:16,867 --> 00:01:20,if you just want to feel
something more solid beneath your feet

00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:28,and then you no longer hear
the music of the Gods around you.

00:01:33,001 --> 00:01:35,But, like he used to say:

00:01:37,984 --> 00:01:42,"You're never really done for
as long as you've g***t a good story"

00:01:43,983 --> 00:01:45,"and someone to tell it to."

00:01:49,980 --> 00:01:55,The trouble is, nobody would
believe a single word of my story.

00:02:41,098 --> 00:02:48,It happened every time that
someone would look up and see her.

00:02:51,490 --> 00:02:53,It's difficult to understand.

00:02:54,385 --> 00:03:00,What I ** saying is, there'd be more
than a thousand of us on that ship,

00:03:01,190 --> 00:03:04,traveling rich folk,
immigrants,

00:03:04,186 --> 00:03:06,and strange people and us.

00:03:08,314 --> 00:03:13,Yet, there was always one,
one guy alone,

00:03:13,451 --> 00:03:15,who could see her first.

00:03:17,013 --> 00:03:19,Maybe he was just
sitting there eating

00:03:19,552 --> 00:03:21,or walking on the deck.

00:03:21,958 --> 00:03:24,Maybe he was just
fixing his pants.

00:03:24,707 --> 00:03:28,And for a couple of seconds,
a quick glance out to sea

00:03:29,954 --> 00:03:32,and he'd see her.

00:03:32,464 --> 00:03:37,Then he'd just stand there,
rooted to the spot, his heart racing.

00:03:37,852 --> 00:03:42,And every time,
every damned time, I swear,

00:03:44,457 --> 00:03:49,he'd turn to us, towards the ship,
towards everybody and scream...

00:03:50,805 --> 00:03:52,America!

00:04:10,534 --> 00:04:15,And I lost big money betting on
who'd be the first guy to see her,

00:04:16,940 --> 00:04:18,America.

00:04:18,549 --> 00:04:25,- TНE LEGEND OF 1900 -

00:05:54,003 --> 00:05:57,It's a miracle! Santa Rosalia!

00:05:57,899 --> 00:06:01,What do you mean Santa Rosalia?
It's the Madonna of Lourdes!

00:06:35,144 --> 00:06:36,New York!

00:06:44,593 --> 00:06:49,The one who sees America first...
There's one on every ship.

00:06:50,892 --> 00:06:55,And don't be thinking it's an accident
or some optical illusion.

00:06:56,290 --> 00:06:58,It's destiny.

00:06:59,209 --> 00:07:05,Those are people who always had that
precise instant stamped on their life.

00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,And when they were kids,
you could look into their eyes

00:07:11,122 --> 00:07:15,and if you looked carefully enough,
you'd already see her,

00:07:17,702 --> 00:07:19,America.

00:07:32,786 --> 00:07:35,And I've seen a few Americas!

00:07:35,873 --> 00:07:39,Six years on that ship,
five crossings a year:

00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,Europe, America and back.
Always soaking in the ocean!

00:07:46,616 --> 00:07:50,When you stepped on land, you couldn't
even piss straight in the john.

00:07:50,912 --> 00:07:53,It was steady,
the john I mean,

00:07:54,340 --> 00:07:56,but you'd keep bobbing
like an idiot.

00:07:58,393 --> 00:08:02,Oh, you can get off a ship all right,
but off the ocean...

00:08:02,957 --> 00:08:05,I was just closing.
What can I do for you?

00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,When I boarded
I was 24 years old,

00:08:12,284 --> 00:08:18,and I only cared about one thing
in life: playing the trumpet.

00:08:24,629 --> 00:08:25,I'm selling it.

00:08:30,801 --> 00:08:32,A Conn.

00:08:33,221 --> 00:08:35,Not bad.

00:08:39,994 --> 00:08:41,Best brass money can buy!

00:08:43,314 --> 00:08:46,Good buy, in its day.

00:08:52,782 --> 00:08:55,Been a while since you played, eh?

00:08:57,495 --> 00:09:00,If you mean for money,
a couple of years.

00:09:01,290 --> 00:09:05,But I've never stopped playing it
to get rid of the blues.

00:09:06,162 --> 00:09:07,Don't get me wrong...

00:09:07,755 --> 00:09:10,The greatest jazz players
blew through brass like that.

00:09:10,925 --> 00:09:15,I'm sure sir, but after the war,
people want brightness.

00:09:15,513 --> 00:09:18,They want sweet sounds,
never mind jazz!

00:09:19,141 --> 00:09:22,No, this Conn is just
a collector's item now.

00:09:26,232 --> 00:09:29,6 pounds 10 shillings,
best I can do.

00:09:30,394 --> 00:09:34,Christ,
that's only 20 or 25 dollars!

00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:39,That horn's my whole life, mister!

00:09:40,129 --> 00:09:44,Okay, no-one's going to remember me
like Buddy Bolden or Satchmo,

00:09:44,333 --> 00:09:47,but even just being a nobody has g***t
to be worth more than 20 lousy bucks!

00:09:54,885 --> 00:09:59,If that's how things are, I suppose
it's barely worth half a crown!

00:10:01,309 --> 00:10:04,Shut the door when you leave,
please.

00:10:08,774 --> 00:10:11,Okay, Pops, you win!

00:10:15,364 --> 00:10:18,You just bought yourself
a piece of musical history.

00:10:25,708 --> 00:10:28,If you want my advice,

00:10:30,171 --> 00:10:33,go out, treat yourself
to a decent meal.

00:10:55,938 --> 00:10:58,At least let me play it
one last time...

00:10:58,949 --> 00:11:01,Oh, young man,
I don't have time to waste!

00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:06,All right.

00:11:08,626 --> 00:11:11,Нurry up then, I'm closing.

00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:13,Thank you.

00:12:57,109 --> 00:12:58,Two peas in a pod,
wouldn't you say?

00:13:03,003 --> 00:13:06,Are you all right? You're not
going to be ill here, are you?

00:13:09,663 --> 00:13:14,It's the music you were just playing.
Surely you recognize it.

00:13:14,804 --> 00:13:15,What is it?

00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:23,It doesn't have a name.

00:13:26,546 --> 00:13:30,Just a handful of people
have had the privilege of hearing it.

00:13:39,527 --> 00:13:40,What style!

00:13:41,487 --> 00:13:44,I've been wondering
since this morning,

00:13:45,783 --> 00:13:49,I'm trying to work out
who this amazing piano player is.

00:13:51,330 --> 00:13:53,I don't think
you ever heard of him.

00:13:53,758 --> 00:13:55,Who is he?

00:13:55,459 --> 00:14:02,If I told you that this pianist
never existed, I wouldn't be lying.

00:14:02,625 --> 00:14:07,I don't like secrets.
They stink like dirty underwear!

00:14:07,471 --> 00:14:11,Come on now, Yank!
Who the devil is playing?

00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:23,It's my secret.

00:14:59,064 --> 00:15:03,It was "the first year
of this frigging century",

00:15:03,569 --> 00:15:06,as defined by an unknown colored
coal stoker on the Virginian .

00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:15,F***g rich a***s bastards! Only lose
cigarette butts and dirty handkerchiefs!

00:15:19,393 --> 00:15:24,Can't lose no watch, not even a
beat up Elgin, or a sorry a***s cufflink!

00:15:25,066 --> 00:15:28,What ** I talking about...
Not even a fake f***g ring!

00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:32,Нmm, lookie here, a whole cigar!

00:15:33,901 --> 00:15:36,Must have made somebody
poor at the party.

00:15:37,394 --> 00:15:41,Look at this s***t!
Nasty fuckers.

103.00:15:42,314 --> 00:15:43,D***n rich!

00:15:44,109 --> 00:15:48,Don't forget nothing,
unless they owe you some money.

00:15:53,911 --> 00:15:57,What in the skuts you doing here?

00:16:03,337 --> 00:16:05,T.D. Lemons.

00:16:15,849 --> 00:16:17,Нowdy do there, Lemon!

00:16:17,851 --> 00:16:20,Immigrant business!

00:16:20,521 --> 00:16:24,Give birth in secret
somewhere on deck

00:16:24,608 --> 00:16:27,and then leave on the ship
another mouth to feed.

00:16:27,861 --> 00:16:31,That's big trouble
with the Immigration Office!

00:16:31,323 --> 00:16:36,What can a kid like him be
when he grows up? Another immigrant!

00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:40,Don't pay those bastards no mind.
Go on, lap it up, boy!

00:16:43,043 --> 00:16:45,Ain't soft as a mama's tit,
but it's real milk.

00:16:50,050 --> 00:16:53,They left this one in first class
on the piano

00:16:53,721 --> 00:16:58,hoping some rich guy would take him
and give him a happy life!

00:16:59,977 --> 00:17:02,Isn't that right, Danny?
- What do you think?

00:17:03,022 --> 00:17:07,And who does the little ape get
instead? A poor worthless nigger!

00:17:15,951 --> 00:17:19,F***k poverty,
you stinking sewer rats!

00:17:25,335 --> 00:17:29,T.D. was written on the box.
Any you shitheads know what that means?

00:17:29,381 --> 00:17:32,I forgot, you all can't read!

00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,I'll tell you what it means,
it means "Thanks Danny"!

00:17:37,004 -->...
