Dirigido por/directed by Delbert Mann.
Com/starring Rock Hudson, Doris Day.


Carol: Mm, this isn’t bad either. But what color is that floor?
Leonard: Lilac.
Carol: Lilac? Leonard, who has a lilac floor in their kitchen?
Leonard: I have.
Carol: Oh. Well, uh, Leonard, everyone isn’t as artistic as you are. We have to sell this [floor] wax to average, ordinary, everyday people!
Leonard (sneering): Eeuuhh – them!



Diálogo adaptado/adapted dialogue

Carol: Mm, this isn’t bad either. But what color are those walls?
Leonard: Lilac.
Carol: Lilac? Leonard, who has lilac walls in a late medieval and renaissance painting exhibition?
Leonard: I have.
Carol: Oh. Well, uh, Leonard, everyone isn’t as artistic as you are. We have to show this paintings to average, ordinary, everyday people!
Leonard (sneering): Eeuuhh – them!


Mas que raio de mente tonta escolhe aquela cor para as paredes de uma exposição de pintura no Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga?
Parece um enorme pullover alfazema de uma bichinha tonta armada a betinho hetero!
As pinturas ficaram todos arruinadas com aquele fundo!!
O painel do Álvaro Pires, que deve ter custado uma pipa de massa trazer de Pisa e que tão cedo não se terá dinheiro para outro empréstimo destes, nem se nota engolido no mar lilás...
e os painéis de São Vicente?! dentro do Finalmente!!

But what kind of silly mind choose that colour for the walls of a painting exhibition in our national museum?
It looks like the giant lavender sweater of a silly queen trying to look like a posh hetero!
The paintings were all ruined with that background!
The Álvaro Pires panel, that must have cost a fortune to bring from Pisa and that so soon there are no money for another loan like this, it's dwarfed by all that lilac sea...
and the Saint Vincent Panels?! looks like they are inside Finalmente!!


Sortuda a CIN, que com a desculpa de mecenato se livrou de litros e litros de tinta violeta, lilás e alfazema

Lucky CIN (the paint company), that with the excuse of the sponsorship got rid of liters and liters of lilac, violet and lavender paint.

lla #18-22 [laika va a la escuela]

·
há muito tempo que não se sabia por aqui o que andava a fazer a nossa amiga Laika, a cadela astronauta apreciadora de uma boa arquitectura

pois é, anda farta de andar a dar voltas e voltas e voltas e mais voltas à terra e decidiu estudar

tendo em conta a boa reforma que o velho estado soviético lhe dá como agradecimento pelos óptimos serviços prestados à Grande Mãe Rússia decidiu dedicar-se às artes, uma sua antiga paixão, imagine-se, mas anda indecisa se mais para as plásticas se para as performativas

como boa seguidora dos princípios marxistas que a educaram, decidiu estudar nesse berço do comunismo rigoroso que é Havana, Cuba e para tal vai inscrever-se numa das escolas da Ciudad de las Artes, mas em qual?!

long time that we didn't hear what our friend Laika, the astronaut bitch that loves fine architecture, has been doing

ok, she's fed up of going around and around and around and around the earth and has decided to study

keeping in mind the good retirement that the old soviet state is giving her as gratitude for the excellent services performed in the name of the Great Mother Russia, she decided to dedicate herself to the arts, an old passion, but she's uncertain what to choose, if the fine arts if one of the performative kind

as a good follower of the marxist principles that educated her, she decide to study at that cradle of rigorous communism that is Havana, Cuba, and is going to apply to one of the schools of the Ciudad de las Artes (Arts City), but at which one?!
