Original subtitles

There's one thing I'll never be able to do...

Take your ass like a man would.

I'm sick of rooms by the hour.

Are you afraid I'll pass for a hooker?

[bells]

- Hmm? - Do it again.

Would you let me take you, Berto?

I love you, Miranda. I love you.

[laughs]

- You are not alone. - You're still with the old one, aren't you?

Of course. He loves me too, look. He gave it to me yesterday.

- Throw that ring away! - Not even for a dream, it's mine.

- You are a... - Say it, it excites me.

[Berto] Troy, cow, hooker!

[whistle]

Let's move in together, Miranda.

[laughs]

Do you think that if I were a man, and I liked you, we would move in together? Huh?

[laughs]

And then I'll wait for Gino.

But you know your husband can't come back.

It's not said, they reported him missing, he's not dead.

[gunshots]

[gunshots]

Stop!

Are you crazy? We have nothing to do with it.

[gunshots]

[doorbell]

[Miranda] Brr!

I'm hungry. Bring me some wine and cheese.

[Tony] You're back. I was worried.

Sit down, you drink too.

- The snout? - I thought you were taking him to bed.

Have I ever taken anyone to bed here in the inn?

Besides, I don't have to be accountable to you or to others.

The collection.

This month I don't know what to do with bills of exchange.

- I could think of it myself. - You? And how?

I know someone who would buy it.

But what do you say? Sell it? It's a gift from the console.

In exchange, he would give you one that is the same, but false, worthless.

Boh! Do some yourself. But hurry up, I don't want him to notice.

- Is Leda back? - No.

All right, clear it and close it. In this weather, no one comes.

Tony! What do you like most in a woman?

Generosity.

[laughs]

- So should I take you to bed with me? - Also.

Stop there!

- But I just wanted to give you the money. - You're pulling back, eh? Hypocritical.

Never mix sex with money.

But if they are things that have always gone hand in hand.

Not with me, I'm an employee.

- So what? - I'm waiting for you to command me.

- But come on, you're really funny! - Goodnight, mistress.

[crying]

They killed Jack, he's gone.

[crying]

He won't hold me anymore.

Like a beast, they shot him.

At the top of the embankment.

[screams]

One day we'll go to Rimini together.

In a few weeks, Jack will start to walk away from you.

You'll be ashamed to see it, but that's the way it is, you'll see.

You're still alive on your own, there's no need to despair.

I know it's not necessary.

But what can I do if I feel like crying?

It's not to console you, but there are points in everyone's life.

And then, maybe, there's also a line.

[Miranda] I'm still in the points.

[laughs]

But it's not certain that, one day or another, I won't find the right man either

that puts me in line.

Come on, come on, stop crying. Look, even the sky has stopped.

It's not snowing anymore, maybe winter is over.

[dog barking]

[doorbell]

[doorbell]

[Italo] I finished working at the Ferrara fair, which must have been the two of them.

I've been riding all night. If I close my eyes, I see the bed flying.

- What are you waiting for to buy yourself a moped? - First a wife, then the moped.

But who do you want to get married as black as you are?

To'! Have your latte and go up to sleep. I'll take care of the bike.

Here is the mistress.

I work with those in the gas pipeline, I'm an American.

I have to be here by half or four. Do you have a room?

I have four, but only two are free.

I'll take them both.

- Do you want to go up and see them? - I trust you.

- [Norman] Thank you, ma'am... - Miranda. And you?

Norman.

From the console, mistress.

Hi, Miranda.

[doorbell]

Thank you.

[Carlo] I have something in my pocket for you.

Your hand as an old man and as a child.

[gasps]

[surprise sound]

[Carlo] I admire fish how they make love.

[Carlo] They leave behind, in the current, the thread of their seed,

without even joining the females. Anonymous, silent.

Like your hand.

[groans]

Mm!

Why don't you come away with me? The compulsory stay is coming to an end.

With the amnesty, they'll rehabilitate me. I'm old, I have money, it's a guarantee, right?

I like your tired skin, your white hair.

Is this your virginity now? Do you want me to take it off for you?

Come inside me, you've never done it. Why?

For fear of getting pregnant. Ridiculous at my age, do you think?

Fear for me or of becoming a father? I'm careful, you know.

- Tony knew we were coming here. - Of course, I always tell him everything.

You're wicked, like all women.

[laughs]

- Do you like the necklace you gave me? - I can give you something else.

My family has been accumulating assets for generations.

In Naples I have a building that has been empty since my wife died.

- Anonymous, mute. Instead you talk. - I became jealous.

About Berto?

But if you once even told me that you liked me going with him too.

I mean, what do you mean?

It's my heart that can't stand your lovers, not my balls.

[Miranda] I prefer you when you speak French.

[Miranda] Remind me of a nun of the Sacred Heart.

Abroad, even the whores in the brothels speak French.

[sings]

Tony! Wine!

- Leda! - [Leda] Yes, I'll take care of it.

- So this boiled one? - Here it is, wait a minute, I'm coming.

- What a boiled witch. - What did you say?

- That the dress suits you. - Do you find it?

[Tony] Other than that! It highlights the fat one.

Does it highlight what?

In short, those meats there, fresh in summer, warm in winter.

- You like them, huh? - Paradises of will.

Are you also a poet?

Everyone with a little courage can be a poet.

Mad. And I'm the one who trusts you.

The fat one! Women, the fat one!

[applauding]

Leda, another quarter!

Card wins, card loses, card wins, card loses, card wins, card loses, card loses,

card wins, card loses, card wins, card loses, card wins, card loses,

Card wins, card loses.

- I know you're fooling me anyway. - It's not said, luck is blind.

This wins, this loses, this loses, this loses.

This one loses. What is the winning card?

Bravo.

Now to me.

Attention, Mr. Consul.

Card wins, card loses, card loses, card wins, card wins, card loses.

You're not wrong, eyes wide open. Who is the winner?

Here.

Sorry, Mr. Consul.

What do you want to do with it? Luck is female, therefore the friend of dreams.

If she is a girl, she is also friends with old people willing to pay her.

[doorbell]

These two friends take the other room. They are French.

They study music in Parma. Juliette and Gabrielle.

[Norman] Do you have anything against it, Miranda?

- It means that you will play something for us. - She plays.

- And do you sing? - I sing and dance.

Hi, Italo.

[Carlo] Enchanted, Miss Juliette.

My name is Carlo. I lived and worked in France.

- Oh, in the mines? - No, as a diplomat.

[laughing]

- Do you fix them? - Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

- Thanks, Miranda. - How well you say my name.

[Norman] What's going on in here?

[Tony] A dead man bought everyone a drink.

- A dead person? - The old Iris.

[Tony] He left 10,000 pounds for the party, after his funeral.

- Great. We're having a party too. - [Juliette] Cheers!

[harmonica plays]

- What do you think? - It looks like a ship.

Thank you.

- I am tempted to lengthen the writing. - Even more?

Bertoporti transports the world.

[laughs]

Let's go, let's go. Via.

On.

- Where are you taking me? - To see the construction site.

[laughs]

Who's that guy that came with the two women?

Norman? A gas pipeline technician, he's an American.

- Must be an American bastard. - Why?

- He called you 'you', God bless! - But that's how it's used in America.

And not in Italy!

I wanted to show you the work for the garage.

Look.

And here they will cheer up the house.

[laughs]

- The watches. - One is for you, take it.

Oh, Berto.

Sweetheart.

Wait. Let me show you something.

[door closing noise]

[Berto] Come on.

[door closing noise]

[laughs]

- Where did you get this stuff? - I had it at 50 percent

from a furniture factory in Ferrara for which I make deliveries.

These, on the other hand, I fooled them. I brought trucks to Bologna.

A tape for us too, don't you think?

[bottle uncorked]

Cheers.

[laughs]

Wait, you're tickling me!

I'm marrying you, Miranda. I'll marry you.

[laughs]

You know that men in socks tear me apart, especially in their underwear.

And then you didn't tell me that you loved me because with me you felt free?

I need a woman to watch my back.

I look at them, I look at them.

To make love to us, I want women in front of us.

Anyway, I'm not marrying you.

Marry the old man, huh? Or do you like the American now?

It's not possible to make love

with a person who does not understand the woman with whom he is together.

- Women are all the same. - Then I don't need you.

Excuse me! You provoked me!

[Miranda] You're not even capable of getting angry very much.

You only have a big ass, put it in the cupboard.

Wait!

[Berto] Stop! What do you do? Miranda!

[laughs]

Come on, Gabrielle , give way to the owner.

- But, sorry, why me? - He'll take you home, come on.

Ugh!

- Au revoir, Gabrielle. - [Gabrielle] Au revoir. Until later.

Au revoir.

But what do you think? The world is full of women. One lost, 100 found!

And all who pee like her.

[laughing]

[horn]

[Juliette] Great! Hurry up, I want to have fun.

[plays]

[laughing]

- Chewing gum? - Sure.

- What is it? - Turkish chewing gum.

I want it too.

Voila!

Look.

[sound of amazement]

I like women who get wet right away like you.

I'm just sweaty.

- Ouch! - And then my pee runs away.

[pee sound]

- Do you want me to go out? - Why, are you ashamed?

Is it true that in America you don't kiss women here?

Where did you learn to make men die like that?

I made it myself.

Kiss me.

Not here. Down.

[groans]

Do men always give you everything you want?

[gasping]

[groans]

Drinks!

Ice cream!

- Do you like the American? - It's nice, yes, but a bit strange.

- In what way? - I don't know. It's different.

[man] Come on pull this!

[man] On the fly, come on!

Italo asked me to go to Africa with him.

In Africa?

Yes, he wants to go back to Somalia to his parents, to sell used trucks on behalf of Berto.

And you?

I don't know. I loved Jack.

There was only him.

[sighs]

I loved Gino too.

- [Leda] It's nice to love just one man. - [Miranda] At a time? No.

[Leda] Forever.

- [Leda] But maybe you were right. - [Miranda] About what?

[Leda] Love. We forget, we continue to live.

Change is also nice. It is not true that one man is worth another.

Have you slept with Italo yet?

She won't, unless I tell him first that I love her and go away with him.

Too bad. Otherwise you'd tell me what it's like with a black guy.

- Do you think Tony has a woman? - He manages to Ferrara.

- Did he tell you that? - [Leda] He doesn't talk about it.

But Italo told me that he has a certain reputation in the casinos of Ferrara.

- What fame? - Bitch likes it.

It seems that it can make even the older ones enjoy it.

But no! Who would have thought that? Our Tony.

[laughs]

Actually, I always thought he had something.

- Something what? - I don't know. Something.

[laughing]

[laughs]

- We should go to the casino too. - Huh?

But yes, there should be trouble for women too.

But...

- do you like to do it in bed? - Why not to you?

I get more excited to do it in the countryside, in the car, at the cinema.

In bed to enjoy I have to keep my legs tight.

It is enough for him to expand them. It's just a matter of coming to an agreement.

Like the story of frigid women.

For me they don't exist, there are only foolish men.

- That, for example. - It looks like you're wearing a coat.

- I see him naked. - Naked?

[Miranda] But yeah, you don't see all that hair that covers his chest

And it goes all the way down on top of his thing? Oh, he's shy about it.

[laughs]

- [Miranda] He retired. - She's also assless!

More than in the face, men should be looked on the ass.

It's true, butts don't lie.

[laughing]

Look at that one.

Farmer!

Professor!

[laughing]

Lawyer!

Worker!

Peeping man!

[laughing]

Dances?

To dance?

Don't understand, we French people.

Dance?

We'll have a car.

- Only one dance, though. - Our very jealous husbands.

Mambo!

Olé!

[mosquito]

[sings]

- [Tony] Good evening, mistress. - Hi.

- Did they tire you out in Ferrara? - Not at all. Do you want to see?

- [Miranda] Were they pretty? - I liked them.

Is this how you lift your hookers up?

What's more, I'm sending them over the moon.

It would be right if there were messes even for women.

[Miranda] What do you say, huh? Don't you think so?

If that's why, there are places where men come and go.

And women, if they are as beautiful as you are,

they can choose whether to take whoever they want.

- At the inn, for example? - I would never dare to say it.

Stop there!

- But only I have to stay still? - [Miranda] Stop, I tell you.

But why not?

- Because I am the master. - And I am the servant.

Bravo, I can see with pleasure

That the Ferrara hookers haven't sucked your whole brain out.

Stop it, Tony, or it's over between us.

But I only wanted to give you the money for the ring I sold.

I like you like that. Helpful and faithful.

What about the fake copy?

No copy, a friend of mine from Ferrara bought it.

Ugly pig, my ring on your whores' finger.

But did you count the money? He paid a price of love. Who gave you so much?

Affection to whom? To you or to the ring?

To the ring, of course. Who is looking at me?

To', Philistine. You'll need them to keep the shack going while I'm gone.

How, are you leaving?

- Why, can't I? - Of course, of course, you are the master.

Exactly.

Please, Tony, I 'll leave the inn in your hands.

Don't worry, I'll do your best.

You know a lot, don't you?

Why, don't you?

- [Norman] Do you like it? - It makes me cry.

[Norman] Well, isn't that okay?

Sit down, eat an ice cream.

The pumps have been disembarked and shipped, here I am done.

So what?

[laughs]

[laughs]

Thank you.

[laughs]

[dog barking]

- [man] Come here! Beasts! - No!

- Norman, Norman, don't! - [man] Come here! And it's good!

Shit.

A dog! He got a dog!

Hey you, leave that beast alone!

I'm a public official, you can 't resist the law.

- How much do you want? - Nothing. I have a dignity to defend, me.

[Norman] It's American money, foreign money, you can take it.

[Howls]

Come on, come on, come on. On.

[whistle]

[Miranda] Go away!

Go away!

[Miranda] Go away, wow! Don't you understand that it's already been good for you today?

[Howls]

[engine roar]

[dog barking]

Hey, where do you think you are? In the jeeps of the war?

[yawns]

You're a rascal!

Say it again.

[laughs]

Rascal.

[laughing]

[screams]

But what's the matter with you? Have you gone crazy?

[geese croaking]

But...

But...

This is it, this is the place.

This is it, Jesus Christ.

[geese croaking]

That's exactly where the Germans caught me.

April 13, 1944.

Luckily it was nighttime, there were few of them and they didn't trust coming down.

I stared at those trees all night long.

Weed, blood, money...

and crap.

Monument.

Let's go.

I want a drink and I want you. Let's stop at the first village.

[harmonica plays]

[harmonica plays]

I'm hungry, I'm eating.

It is like that.

[Norman] In the middle of all women's legs.

It's there.

It is like that.

It is what keeps the world moving forward.

[Norman] In the middle of all women's legs.

Soft clouds. I want to die in soft clouds. Miranda!

Come here. Come here.

[Norman] Next to a river, resting in the shade of trees.

I want to die!

But not on a nightjar.

I want to die... I want to die in a wave...

[Norman] I want to die on top of you, Miranda. Above you.

Sweetheart. Love.

I want your thigh.

Come on, come on up.

Oh. I'll cut a hole for you.

I want to drill a hole in you and take you in this hole.

Do it, love.

- Do it, if you want. - Only me, mine, forever.

I am yours.

[laughs]

Oh, baby.

Baby...

Baby, baby.

[groans]

Norman.

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me, Norman?

[snores]

[sounds of pleasure]

[man] Wine, wine!

[Tony] Long live Bacchus and long live love! One and the other console us.

One goes through the throat, the other goes from the eyes to the heart.

I drink wine, then with my eyes I do what you do.

[Juliette] Bravo!

[laughing]

Just a moment. Quiet, please.

I'm going to miss this place.

I will ask that they send me to Damascus, that 's where I started my career.

So you were put back on the road.

Yeah, the purge is over, they removed me from my compulsory stay.

- Let's say I've been rehabilitated. - Cheers.

- [woman] Bravo! - [Italo] Consul Carlo is good!

- [woman] Cheers. - [Leda] Cheers.

- Cheers. - It was nice of you to invite us all.

[Leda] So now you're leaving us?

[music]

- Let's dance. - Ready.

Come on.

Are you coming to dance?

But is this music? Tony, put on the record I brought.

- This one here? - [Norman] Yes, mine.

[laughs]

- But how do you dance? - How nice! Come on! So.

Like him.

I don't feel like dancing.

Come on, come on.

[Norman] Hey!

[Norman] Come on.

- Oh, that's good. - It's American.

Stop it, Leda.

[laughs]

Until the last minute, I was hoping that you would change your mind.

I can't, Carlo, you know.

I still feel connected to Gino. My heart is still beating at his name.

Liar, you know damn well he can't come back.

And then didn't you say that this is the only true story?

- Until I met you. - Hey, Carlo, this is not for you.

- There are some things that come first. - I really don't know which ones, besides this one.

[laughs]

- Miranda, Miranda, why are you running away from me? - Me? But if I'm holding you still.

All I can do is think about your thighs, your smell, your impudent eyes.

I like you like that.

Think of me as a woman, not Miranda.

[Miranda] A young, new woman who owes you devotion.

[Carlo] The others don't interest me.

[Miranda] Juliette, for example. Did you look at it?

I saw her naked, as she dresses underneath. He would come after you like an orphan.

He doesn't know where to land.

- Close your eyes. - Yes.

Think of her, of her thighs.

[verse]

At the hand of Juliette caressing you.

[gasping]

- You! You! - [Miranda] Me!

- Do you know what I did? - Yes.

I sold your ring to pay for bills of exchange.

Yes, yes, that 's also why I loved you. Yes.

Let's go back, it's about to rain.

[screams]

- [Norman] You've tired me out! Everyone! - An American bastard.

- [Tony] Hey, no! Not that one! - [Berto] It's all mine!

- [Leda] That's enough, stop it! - Enough!

[Leda] Enough!

[thunder]

It's finally raining, it was about time it would rain.

Sing, sing!

Stop! What are you doing? Stop it! Norman!

- Norman! - What Norman and Norman! It's his fault.

- Yours by whom? - His of you.

[Carlo] Don't you notice it's raining because God is sending it? Home! Everyone at home!

Come on, Juliette.

[thunder]

“He must be considered dead for all intents and purposes due to war.”

Don't go, Gino. Don't go.

[laughs]

Keep it, I'll leave it to you. It's yours.

[train whistle]

[Norman] Turn around.

[groans]

[Miranda] Ouch!

[groans]

[train whistle]

- I can't believe you've never done it before. - What do I care if you don't believe me?

[gasping]

[harmonica plays]

- Did I hurt your teeth? - No, you're good.

[laughs]

- Why are you laughing? - Nothing, I thought.

[harmonica plays]

- How was your husband? - The opposite of you.

- You like to change, then. - Why not?

One man may have one thing I like, another may have another.

What do I have?

The smell.

I like the way you smell.

- Come away with me. - Where?

- Away, where there are other lives. - There are also here.

You, for instance.

I'm just passing through. I'll take what I find.

And I made myself available.

Ask me something, Miranda.

Let me run all night long.

- What are you thinking about? - To nothing! I'm following some music!

I can hear it too.

[dog barking]

[rooster crows]

[rooster crows]

[rooster crows]

[doorbell]

Yes, there is a room and a job for you. Right, dad?

Give me some schnapps.

Who's upstairs?

Only Leda, no one came back last night.

Everyone in the gas pipeline is leaving. Norman also canceled the room.

He will have been left alone. Juliette left with the console, Gabrielle with Berto.

- We were also left alone. - Well, there will be others to come.

Not today.

Put on the sign that we're closed, and tell Leda to take a day off.

And you wash up, and then come to me and we need to talk.

- And don't drink. - We're having a party, aren't we? I don't have to work.

[knocking on door]

I didn't ask you to bring coffee.

It can stay there too. What is not needed does not work.

Come on, come on down.

Stop there.

- Don't you want to be my husband? - I haven't tried you yet.

And I tried you, maybe?

I'd like us to make our deals first.

What pacts and pacts. These are the pacts. Either marry me or go back to your country.

And if I marry you what do I become?

- My partner in the inn. - Oh.

[laughs]

But the inn is called “Da Gino”.

We'll put on Miranda's. It's a name you like, isn't it?

- Especially to men. - Well, then?

Okay, I'll marry you and then what?

And then learn to love me.

[Miranda] And to call me “you.”

It's mine.

- Yes, it's yours. - No, you don't understand. It's mine.

Oh, God. Please, Miranda, I can 't do it anymore.

[laughs]

Do you see it? What deal do you want to make?

What are you doing? What are you doing, Tony?

[Miranda] Tony! Tony!

[Miranda] To... To...

[groans]

[bells]

[woman] Hooray! Long live the bride and groom!

[applause]

[woman] Here they are! How beautiful they are! Hooray!

[screams]

[woman] Hooray! Long live the bride and groom!

[woman] Yes, how beautiful she is! Long live the bride and groom! Hooray! Hooray, yes!

I will hate these pictures all my life.

Carlo and Juliette from Naples, you covered me with gifts!

But did the American show up?

Norman is one of those who never return to the same place.

Not even with a gift or a letter.

We'll get married in Africa. I don't know what rites will be there over there.

[laughing]

And now everyone in Bologna! I booked at “The Two Towers.”

Oh, Berto, that's wonderful. Thank you.

I rented the car from a Count of Mirandola, you won't complain, I hope.

[man] Have a good trip!

[Tony] Come, come.

No, wait, wait, wait. And Miranda?

[woman] What are you doing?

[woman] Ah, how patriotic it is.

- But what does it do? - But...

- [woman 2] Bring flowers. - [woman 3] Hey, yeah.

[woman 4] Who is she?

[man] Bring flowers to the monument.

Did you see that? Because her first husband died in the war.

Come on, come on!

Come on!

- [Miranda] Goodbye! Goodbye! - Come on, let's go, they are waiting for us.

- [man] Goodbye! - [woman] Best wishes, have a nice trip!

[man] Bon voyage, bon voyage! Best wishes! Have a good trip!

Hi, guys!

[horn]

[bottle uncorked]

It's nice to be under the covers with the new sheets.

I'd love to see you.

See what?

The fat one.

Brr!

If you want to see me, light the fire.

He pulls well.

[laughs]

- What's there to laugh about? - Are you really saying that?

You are so clueless.

To'!

You finish it.

Stay down.

Pull up your shirt.

Done.

Cool, warm. Cool, warm.

Cool, warm. Cool, warm.

Cool, warm. Cool, warm.

- [Miranda] Cool, warm. Fresh... - Please, Miranda. Please, please.

- Warm, cool. - [Tony] Please, please, please.

- Warm... Paradises of volition? - Please, Miranda.

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please.

Please, please, can't you say anything else?

This is the second time you have prayed to me.

Let's see if you can... To let me pray to you.

[Tony] I like you better with your colored hair.
