I first watched this on Netflix streaming on my little 3DS screen. My dad and I had just moved after my mom died, I was a stressed out mess and couldn't sleep. I put this on and for the whole movie, I forgot my problems for a while.
Benigni said that he couldn't remember any English except for the sentence "Do you know my mother?" so that's what he said. Jarmusch was kinda shocked that he said that as it obviously wasn't scripted (most of this short weren't), but it was so funny he decided to keep it.
" I like to drink before I go to sleep. Drink a lot of Coffee before I go to sleep, so i can dream faster. I can dream like when they put i camera on a Indy 500, when they put a camera in the car, and it just whipping by like that...dream after dream after dream after dream. People ask me the next day 'what did you dre...am about?' and I say 'i can't..I don't have time, I don't have time to tell you this."
In 1992 I lived in Rome for a year. I loved Stevie Wonder so my Italian friend made me a cassette tape and labeled it Steve Wonder. Roberto calling Steven Wright "Steve" made me think of my friend Paolo.
I like it for several reasons. I love coffee, as well as cigarettes, I love black and white films.. It's also a concept that differs very much from most movies, anything original scores higher with me. I also recognize a lot of myself and conversations with others in this movie. And there's a bit of an odd but slightly comfortable atmosphere in it as well.
This sketch had me laughing from 2:07 (when Steven Wright tells Roberto Benigni "I'm wound-up too" with his patented deadpan, monotone delivery) right through to the end. Brilliant writing, and a great pairing.
Americans find it weird :-) That's natural. They are too used to hollywood stuff. Maybe just few people realized that there's no script at all in this scene. Jarmush just switched the camera on and let everything to Benigni and Wright 's bizarre creativity putting the scene inside the movie with no modifications at all. Total improvisation, like a jazz experiment.
not all 'americans' do. (ever go to a US film fest?) you're going by stereotype and the droll h'wood entrees we are regrettably known for. so damn many here who are very talented filmmakers who have to go the indie route (they have to get backers or raise their own funds.) would imagine you must be familiar with that.
Well, all right then. It's good to show their talents (Benigni is obviously a well known actor) and that the actors can cope with such idea but honestly? It's quite pointless. Movies are just like books - they should tell a story, not to be an experiment of some kind :) You can experiment BEFORE doing a released short or movie. You can try to interpret it but it's pointless, because there's probably nothing in it - it's only an experiment ;) But Jarmusch is known to make well-directed movies without too much content. I thought that in the end a waitress will come and say that Steven has to pay for those coffees :) Wouldn't it be much better if this had some sort of a conclusion?
I love those small brilliants: * * * - Steve! - Steven... - Yes! Steve! * * * - Do you know my mother? (without any relation with conversation line!) * * * Thank you VERY MUCH!!! (all the time) * * * - I gotta go I guess.... - Yes.... - I haven't been for awhile.. (hesitates) - Good. You don't go? * * * Both guys are very strange...One with his "coffee popsicles" and "dream after dream, after dream" and the other with "do you know my mother?". At least he's got free dentist appointment. TYVM!
also, the way Roberto laughs when Steven's going off on something that Roberto clearly doesn't understand like the Indy 500 or coffee pops. I've done that so many times in Spanish when I'm getting my haircut , I must sound exactly like this guy
god, That scene with Iggy Pop and Tom Waits was like being around my dad when I was a kid. He hung out with some strange cats from the village. brrrr. made me wince even at 7.
it's fun because in the italian version, when benigni goes away, he says "Dentista, che culo!" that means "dentist, stroke of luck!", he says this after the last "ahah", but here he just goes away lol
My mother Very strange mother. She at first is very nice with the rabbit... oh cute little rabbit come here, come here.. then WHACK ! She kills the rabbit.. My mother , very strange mother.
RAgazzi, condivido la scopertona appena fatta...a tutti gli amanti del cinemone, il regista di questo film JIM JARMUSH, è lo stesso di Down By Law, e fin qui, ok...ma è anche il regista di uno dei miei FILM PREFERITI IN ASSOLUTO...DEAD MEN!!!! Guardatelo se vi manca, gran film, gran colonna sonora...
I really hope someone would recommend certain films like -> the charactor collects and organize things, cleans, very focused on things, works hard, keeps try, innocent, appreciates ordinary life, does his best with what he got..............something like that. ex. 'Everythings illuminated', 'Amelie', 'Leon'(he drinks milk everyday and working out at home), Tom hanks style..
I drink a lot of coffee before I go to sleep
so I can dream faster.
"Very Good! I don't understand nothing. Yes!"
kaguth lol i need a different past time lol
Pop tv screen
Throughout all my years of watching movies never have I ever found a better dialogue that is so sarcastic on so many levels
🤣
Best movie quote ever!
That's the weirdest conversation I even seen in my life...So funny!...
That’s mean u don’t have any Italian friends
This film is pure visual JAZZ
.
bro I came here with a full blown overwhelmed depression looking for comfort. THANK you for the upload it calms me thank you
"DO YOU KNOW MY MOTHER?!" hahaha
I first watched this on Netflix streaming on my little 3DS screen. My dad and I had just moved after my mom died, I was a stressed out mess and couldn't sleep. I put this on and for the whole movie, I forgot my problems for a while.
Its good to have some happy moments in life
I know that live is hard but we must live in some normal way :)
I think David Lynch would like this dialogue.
We need a movie where Jim teams up with David
Benigni said that he couldn't remember any English except for the sentence "Do you know my mother?" so that's what he said. Jarmusch was kinda shocked that he said that as it obviously wasn't scripted (most of this short weren't), but it was so funny he decided to keep it.

Cute
That is also my favorite part! Will FOREVER!!
Reprised by GZA & JZA talking to Bill Murray in a later vignette.
this is definitely my favourite conversation from that film
this and the two Italians scene are my favorite by far.
I love Roberto! He's one of the best!
roberto is great as an Actor, he plays with Soul and Passion.
Thank you Jim Jarmusch for making such movies.
Benigni is einfach ein Genie.... unglaublich der Mann....
hahahahaha, I love it how Roberto is even weirder than Steven
In 1992 I lived in Rome for a year. I loved Stevie Wonder so my Italian friend made me a cassette tape and labeled it Steve Wonder. Roberto calling Steven Wright "Steve" made me think of my friend Paolo.
"Yes! Yes, thank you very much. I ... like to ... sweetch."
Benigni is one of the best !
I love this movie! Whenever it's on, I can not stop watching! Its People, just people, and it's Amazing!
It's one of the worst things I've ever seen. Strange Brew and It's Pat may have been better.
I watched this in cinema. It was the best scene. Man, 15 years ago…😮
This is the most emotion I've seen Steven Wright exhibit.
"very good, I don't understand nothing" this is something I should say next time I am talking with English speakers :-)
The art of making something out of little.
The look on Wright's face when he says he doesn't want to go to the dentist and he's staring at the sugar haha.
the do you know my mother impulse makes me blurt out laughing so hard. and I know it's coming every time.
"Very good! I don't understand nothing! Yes!"
😂
great comedy!!the contrast with characters builds the essence of this movie!
I like it for several reasons. I love coffee, as well as cigarettes, I love black and white films.. It's also a concept that differs very much from most movies, anything original scores higher with me. I also recognize a lot of myself and conversations with others in this movie.

Same this is one of my favorite films, it makes me feel nostalgic, and I enjoy coffee and cigarettes everyday!
Score threee for Bryan O,reealy America inhibited enough!
This sketch had me laughing from 2:07 (when Steven Wright tells Roberto Benigni "I'm wound-up too" with his patented deadpan, monotone delivery) right through to the end. Brilliant writing, and a great pairing.
This has gotta be one of the best movie scenes ever made! Absolutely fantastic!
@2:27
"... before I go to sleep, so I can dream faster...!" ;)
@5:21"... The name of the guy..." !?
very strange... I never heard that before... the "dentist" is a Mr./Dr. "Forster"?! o.O ?? ;)
Roberto! One of the greatest! what a Soulfoul amazing Actor!!!
Americans find it weird :-)
That's natural. They are too used to hollywood stuff. Maybe just few people realized that there's no script at all in this scene.

only Jim can do that
not all 'americans' do. (ever go to a US film fest?)
you're going by stereotype and the droll h'wood entrees we are regrettably known for. so damn many here who are very talented filmmakers who have to
go the indie route (they have to get backers or raise their own funds.)
would imagine you must be familiar with that.
jordian me just maybe there's a hand FULL

LukeInside always looking for conclusions
steve: maybe we should switch?!
roberto: yes, yes thankyou verymuch! I like to switch.
hahaha hilarious!
simply a master,genius...
I love those small brilliants:
* * *
- Steve!
- Steven...
- Yes! Steve!
* * *
- Do you know my mother?
(without any relation with conversation line!)
* * *
Thank you VERY MUCH!!! (all the time)
* * *
- I gotta go I guess....
- Yes....
- I haven't been for awhile.. (hesitates)
- Good. You don't go?
* * *
Both guys are very strange...One with his "coffee popsicles" and "dream after dream, after dream" and the other with "do you know my mother?". At least he's got free dentist appointment. TYVM!
"Very good ! I dont understand nothing . YES ! " Hahhaa
Excellent scene !
this is a pretty cool thing, i own the DVD. This is the ultimate chill - movie. Don't miss other movies from Jim Jarmusch!
Brilliant test of time moment cathartic....Jarmush time capsule gem ;)
Woah! this must be the best movie ever produced.
Perfectly surreal.
i love this so much... i want to have interactions like this
also, the way Roberto laughs when Steven's going off on something that Roberto clearly doesn't understand like the Indy 500 or coffee pops.
I've done that so many times in Spanish when I'm getting my haircut , I must sound exactly like this guy
Rewatching OG Saturday Night Live on Peacock brought me here. Bizarre, earnest and funny.
Jim is the man
roberto in an incredible actor
I loved this movie especially the cast. Better after seeing Jim in Blue in the Face. Great movie too ❤
love this movie.
Thank you all the good hearted people who help me. My belief in your goodness keeps me alive.
Hope were arent in sodom and gomorah Matrix
¨You know my mother?¨ xD
I love this movie

Greatest opening ever! 😂
Roberto is the best!
He totally rocks!
He's so damn funny!
Hahahahahah!
I love him!
god,
That scene with Iggy Pop and Tom Waits was like being around my dad when I was a kid.
He hung out with some strange cats from the village. brrrr. made me wince even at 7.
Brilliant Roberto Benigni.
@parkash911 What? Dude! That's Roberto Benigni!!! Probably the best European comdeian of today! Have you seen Life is Beautiful?
?!??!?
This one scene is better than the whole fast and furious and avengers franchises combined.
grande robertooooooooooooooooooo. Ciao from Italy
genious!
Watch the movie... it has to be one of the best soundtracks of all time
it's fun because in the italian version, when benigni goes away, he says "Dentista, che culo!" that means "dentist, stroke of luck!", he says this after the last "ahah", but here he just goes away
lol
Where can you find that?
Y-YESSS!
10 out of 10
Benigni pride of Italy, Berlusconi shame of Italy
Very strange! :D Still, Steven Wright is BRILLIANT, so I'm soaking up any clip there is! :)
Yes jarmush yes 😂😍😍😍😘😘
If Roberto could go to the dentist for me it be awesome, it's like a Dream come true. 🗿
Two Oscar winners.
My mother Very strange mother. She at first is very nice with the rabbit... oh cute little rabbit come here, come here.. then WHACK ! She kills the rabbit.. My mother , very strange mother.
Dawn Childs I exactly thought the same😂
My mother Isolina.....
the rabbit .. dead. i have a very strange mother, my mother.
You are my friend
Great, now Google knows I'm drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes
song is "Louie Louie", performed by Richard Berry & The Pharoahs
I would like poor people in Lithuania could have such a nice time in the coffees too.
fav film - top 10 at least
I love this movie! This was a really funny scene but the Iggy Pop scene is definitely the funniest in the movie!
classic!
Roberto Benigni is brilliant! Check him out in "Night On Earth".
Its epic.
geniale semplice delicato.....benigni!...e
Cigarettes and coffee taste great together
