Of everything! Since' we do this story every day!

This is a must-see. Every artist who considers himself...

..he's coming into the gallery. Look! - Nobody here takes us into consideration..

..so there's no point in us coming. - Why? Mimmo Adami...

..it won't be a Dapporto, but he's still a self-respecting comedian.

- I'm the only one who respects you. - And why? - Because I love you.

And I love you and respect you too. And in front of Adami's showgirl...

..hats off! - You're the only one.

Goddess, esteem and love! And it's the only wealth I can give you!

- But if someone lends me 5 lire.... - Don't do that when you're with me!

Make me put on the nice dress...

..for a hat with grapes, and then we have to ask everyone for money.

- Don't worry": today it's me, tomorrow over to you! - But here it's always our turn!

- But we artists are all brothers! - (ironic) Eh!

Mimmo needs and his brother helps him.

Mimmo and Dea start working and help their brother in need.

Goddess: Yes, good! Then go away. to my brother for the money. I'm leaving.

The grapes you have make you feel uncomfortable in the head! Wait for me at the restaurant!

- Which restaurant? - Scarpone Rosticceria.

- Look, they're kicking me out! - Why?

- Goddess: He already kicked me out! - Mimmo: Is he crazy? Why?

Goddess: She knows me. She knows I'm coming in. I look and never order.

- But does he know that you're a showgirl? "He knows. Let's go back to sleep!"

These are two days that instead of eating Let's sleep. If we go to sleep...

..we won't wake up again! Tie', queste so' du' lire.

- What am I doing? - Procrastinate, go away. Slowly. If they really kick you out,...

..order two supplies and magnates. - Dea: Is that you?

Scarpo', watch out, I'll punish you!

- I'm not coming here to eat anymore! - No?

Here's Mimmo! Now this one is asking you for money!

- Be on your guard! - What shall I give them to him? (MIMMO SCREAMS)

(EVERYONE LAUGHING) What were you expecting?

Here are the Martana brothers! Did anyone look for me?

- Yes, Steak. - Good! I still have to eat!

The waiter says to the customer: "What's in there, sugar?"

"..or two cannolics?" (EVERYONE LAUGHING)

It's yours, you say? I read it in Marc'Aurelio.

You can see that I read it before you. You knew it was in my repertoire!

What are you doing? Are you writing it? We're already two of us telling it!

Two, three... It's now a matter of public knowledge!

Allows? I'll light it for you!

It is not a matter of public domain, if I tell it, it's one thing,...

..if you tell it.... - No Don't worry! Everyone knows by now!

Who cares?

- The audience laughs as soon as they see me. - Oh!

- What is it? I had a fit! - You finished me off!

How I tell them nobody tells them.

- Then you can do as you please. < Big Steak: .....my company..

..in a war zone with the danger of some cannon fire?

No, gentleman, I'm sorry, it will be for another time.

The comedian Bisteccone he doesn't do these things.

Sir! You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. I happened to be passing by these parts..

..and I said to myself.... - Wow, I'm so hungry!

- Mimmo: Is there nothing for me? - Knight: Perhaps,...

..but what if they still protest to you?

Are you kidding? How are they protesting?

That of Cecchignola it was a misfortune.

Now I've renewed my repertoire!

I have new jokes locked in a safe in the bank.

- Oh well! - No, that's gold, gentleman!

And I have an ending that is the bomb! All in sequins!

- No, say glitter! - No? - It's a foreign word.

- Oh, right. - Sequins, they say.

Glitter! I have an ending in sequins! How chic!

Actually, it's called elegant, right? Excuse me. Actually, sorry!

There would be for you a nice trip to Abruzzo.

I'm going really fast! These are my squares in Abruzzo!

Beautiful knight!

This writing comes at the right time.

This tour in Abruzzo it was tempting for everyone,...

Commendatore Caecioni, What do you think about a Quirino theater?

-Eh, Dea, or the Valle theater? - But I'd also like Argentina.

It's big, it has a nice proscenium, the star comes out well.

But they make the classics in Argentina. Here, the Elysée is suitable for us.

You must know that our the staging is fabulous!

"A Mi"! What the hell are you saying? I don't understand you at all!

You seem like a fool to me! Quirino, Eliseo, Valle, Argentina!

- What is it? - I could offer you two days in Termoli..

..and one in Lanciano di Chieti. Take it or leave it!

- What is it? What is it? What is it? - Two in Termoli and one in Lanciano.

Look, there's a misunderstanding here, she was misinformed.

Everyone knows that Mimmo and Dea they gave birth to the great Stardust..

..at the Petruzzelli Theatre. Do you know what Petruzzelli is?

Hi! I've already had a heart attack. and I can't be mad at you.

And who gets angry? But they're finished the times when Mimmo came to the gallery..

..let's spend seven days in Pizzico! - Goddess, you tell him!

What should I say? What Mimmo says It's the truth! It's written here, the paper speaks for itself!

(CECIONI snorts) You're the only one who doesn't know!

Because everyone knows that Dani-Adami It stunned the Americans..

..and this certainly had repercussions in Rome. - Of course!

And then you are not the only impresario. There are a lot of them!

I'll show you that the commendator Boncompagni, great impresario,...

..awaits us with moist eyes! With open arms!

Commander Boncompagni, what does he tell us?

- What do you want me to tell you? - So, are you interested?

Okay, deal. (MIMMO AND DEA LAUGH)

- I was sure of it. - Don't worry, you won't find it bad. - No.

Boncompagni: And how much do you want?

30,000, huh?

- This is not day 28. - Boncompagni: 25.

- What do you say, Goddess? - I say what you say.

- Okay, as she says, 25. Goddess! - Look how well it looks on me.

- Yes. - I've lost weight. - You would have missed it anyway.

We gave her a friendly price. You know they offered us 35..

..just for the ring? She has a complete wardrobe!

- Are you satisfied? - Boncompagni: There are 25. - To Goddess.

- Boncompagni: Do you trust me? - Of course!

- What do you say? Thanks a lot! - Boncompagni: Goodbye.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye. - Boncompagni: Goodbye.

Boncompagni: Sure that you don't need this stuff anymore?

No! This stuff we used it in Bari.

Now with the new show let's renew everything.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye. - Boncompagni: Goodbye.

- Boncompagni (murmuring): But.... - You're welcome, love. Again!

Boncompagni: Hello, hello.

- Hi, is there any news? - Not for us, what's new?

Mimmo and Dea are still telling their story.

Ah, the usual song!

Mimmo: But you know that the first Company of Free Italy.

..was it ours? Tell him what it was like the company, Goddess. - Beautiful!

- Mimmo: It was beautiful! - Goddess: Beautiful!

Think, friends, what I said you American commanders:

.."I want the Petruzzelli." And they gave it to me. - Oh, yeah?

Hey! It was full as an egg! There were more soldiers in the theatre than at the front!

- Tell us how many times they did it repeat the ending, Goddess! - So many.

I must have just a photograph of a major American newspaper....

- She has it in her purse. - What do you know?

It's two hundred times that you make us see it.

- What do you have? - Yes, Mi'. - Fajela sees.

- Here, this is the biggest one American newspaper. - I know him.

The head of all American forces, a friend of mine had said..

..that a show like this is not he had never seen it. Not even on Broadway!

Oh well, take care of yourself!

You're right! Always be there. and tell the same story!

No, Bistecco', This is not a fairy tale. This is history.

To us Americans they asked us for autographs on the street!

- Tell him, Goddess! - It's true, it's true.

If we weren't the ones pulling it up morale to the Americans,..

..the hell they were coming to Rome!

And that dirty scoundrel of an impresario What does Cecioni offer us?

Two days in Termoli! To us! To a Dani-Adami!

Stardust, they called me.

Goodbye. We have to go. We have to put on the show.

- C'avemo le prove. - Goodbye. Let's go, Goddess.

What a funny scene!

They don't even make me laugh anymore! They are two poor wretches, they are pitiful.

- It's not their fault.... - yesterday I offered him a package..

..of cigarettes and refused me. I told him, "Take this package."

< He told me: "No thanks, I have it." But you tell me!
