1
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,375
When the foreigner came to the city,
he did not yet know how to speak our language.

2
00:01:30,375 --> 00:01:31,708
THE MAN WITH THE BEAUTIFUL EYES

3
00:01:31,708 --> 00:01:34,708
He was tall, about 30 years old,

4
00:01:35,041 --> 00:01:37,708
with a tattoo of an octopus
-on his shoulder-

5
00:01:38,625 --> 00:01:40,916
and another one of a storm.

6
00:01:49,583 --> 00:01:51,458
He also had beautiful eyes,

7
00:01:51,958 --> 00:01:56,041
he drank whiskey
and challenged us with his voice.

8
00:01:58,750 --> 00:02:01,958
Having a good time, I hope?

9
00:02:23,708 --> 00:02:27,333
He walked with the same provocation
with which he spoke,

10
00:02:28,250 --> 00:02:31,333
pretending to hide the fear
he was afraid of us.

11
00:02:35,291 --> 00:02:40,291
He waved all his arms freely
along the length of his body,

12
00:02:41,750 --> 00:02:44,750
convinced that his disguise was effective.

13
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,125
Throwing that away, he was kind.

14
00:02:52,583 --> 00:02:56,583
Several times he would even pull off
one of his arms

15
00:02:56,875 --> 00:02:59,125
and offered it to anyone who needed it.

16
00:03:03,375 --> 00:03:06,708
There will always be someone who needs
an extra arm,

17
00:03:08,125 --> 00:03:10,500
even if it's just to put it
around the neck,

18
00:03:11,291 --> 00:03:12,416
while he sleeps.

19
00:03:26,625 --> 00:03:30,083
His arms were growing back
inevitably,

20
00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:32,458
like a starfish.

21
00:04:07,125 --> 00:04:10,041
The foreigner had already travelled
in various countries

22
00:04:11,833 --> 00:04:12,833
-28-

23
00:04:15,291 --> 00:04:18,416
and he knew by heart poems
of each of them.

24
00:04:26,166 --> 00:04:30,458
His favourite spoke of a pond
of goldfish

25
00:04:30,791 --> 00:04:33,208
and of a strong and natural man...

26
00:04:34,541 --> 00:04:35,375
as we are.

27
00:04:38,666 --> 00:04:42,208
Because we could look into
the blue eyes of the foreigner

28
00:04:42,750 --> 00:04:44,458
without averting our own

29
00:04:44,916 --> 00:04:46,583
and receive his arms

30
00:04:46,833 --> 00:04:50,041
without the octopus-man accepting
in return

31
00:04:50,625 --> 00:04:53,208
not even a handshake. 

32
00:04:58,541 --> 00:04:59,833
Until one day,

33
00:05:00,125 --> 00:05:03,458
the foreigner learned a poem
in our language.

34
00:05:07,208 --> 00:05:08,041
And at once

35
00:05:08,791 --> 00:05:11,375
he realized
that we knew his secret

36
00:05:11,625 --> 00:05:13,000
and that we accepted it,

37
00:05:13,083 --> 00:05:16,416
with the arms that existed
only to walk away

38
00:05:18,166 --> 00:05:19,458
and the fear

39
00:05:21,375 --> 00:05:23,708
I felt for her beautiful eyes. 

40
00:06:30,541 --> 00:06:33,875
Then he began to throw
punches at reality.

41
00:06:34,666 --> 00:06:37,666
And with the punches
the arms went with the punches,

42
00:06:38,083 --> 00:06:41,125
In a disjointed heathen dance

43
00:06:41,375 --> 00:06:42,625
and heretical.

44
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,833
I've never lost all my arms before,

45
00:06:56,250 --> 00:06:57,750
and not knowing that,

46
00:06:58,708 --> 00:07:01,125
if I lost them all at once,

47
00:07:08,083 --> 00:07:11,250
they would never grow back.
