Force!

Oh, quick! Come on, oh!

- Come here! - Come on, quickly, go! - Come on!

Can you handle this ice?

Go, quickly!

Come on, come on! Come on, come here.

Come on with these cassettes, go ahead!

Come on, the vegetables are fresh! Come on! Get the ice, quick!

Come on, hurry up! Quickly! Where are you going?

Quick, be careful!

Hello, Aunt Lina.

Alone!

Piano!

- Have the clams purged? - I hope.

See if they've purged. Come on, it's late.

What do we do with this ice? Come on, come on! It's melting!

Excuse us, Mr. Marquis.

There's no need to apologize. It happens.

Lelio, I've told you a thousand times that I'll take care of the preparations.

You have to show up after the fact.

You're the one who makes the servants nervous, you know that.

- They're afraid of you. - I'm not scary.

Don't underestimate yourself.

Look at them, two lovebirds, always cooing.

So many steps! Worse than the Scala Santa!

- They don't even give us plenary indulgence! - And yet, yes, Ricky,

as long as you accept the punishments that will be inflicted on you.

Oh, no. I only accept punishment from beautiful Marita.

Darling, I would accept anything from you, you know that.

But I don't forgive you for putting me

with this Neapolitan buzzicon who doesn't fit in the stretcher.

Oh! Now I know how Cleopatra must have felt.

Uncomfortable and embarrassing.

"Marquis, you're a slave driver." "Then why did you take it?"

Your sense of rebellion is, as always, only in words.

We tore Villa Pamphili in two.

Via Olimpica will be the main artery of the Capital.

Look, someone might miss you if you don't come to Rome anymore.

Magnificent!

My Ricky, where do you find these wonderful creatures?

He is a true prince.

He's a prince!

What's the cool thing about Rome?

Fashion, a little bit of cinema.

She also had a small part in "La Dolce Vita".

Stuff for messy landlords: this is how Italian cinema ended.

- Who's coming to Cannes? - Lelio doesn't like movies.

Two hours stolen from real life.

- We've waited so long... - I can't wait!

- The Underpants Man was late. - You'll understand.

As stingy and distrustful as he is,

If he doesn't close his shops himself, he won't be at peace.

Nanni.

You finally decided to accept my invitation.

And I thank you.

It was a struggle to get there, the speedboat killed me.

I'm cold. Let me introduce you to my wife, Elena.

These are our hosts, Lelio, and his wife, Marita.

We've heard a lot about you.

But his fame is far less than reality.

Welcome.

Beautiful woman, huh?

A petty bourgeois provincial girl.

Not to mention proletarian, not to mention social climber.

Saleswoman, actress, model, wife.

Does social status still matter that much?

Not for a communist like you.

- Ricky, what are you? - You're a sewer!

What's up?

What are you doing?

Good morning, madam.

- You're not afraid, are you? - Afraid of what?

- To repent. - To repent?

Of being here, he says?

To shoot.

But I don't know how to shoot.

- Why should she, anyway? - And her?

Why does it have to?

First, you get a weapon.

And we need to start learning about it.

Relax your shoulders.

Smooth-bore rifle.

Just two shots.

It must become one with the rifle.

To be one.

This is the bascule,

where all the firing mechanisms are.

And this...

- I know what this is. - Shh.

Speak softly.

Can't sleep?

Nanni still has a fever.

I can't sleep either.

When there are guests in the house,

I never relax.

Luckily, they all managed to leave at dawn. They say goodbye.

Nanni has lost his fever and is leaving now.

But he had a bad night.

And how was yours?

At the lighthouse, as always.

Just like always, I wouldn't say so.

There's nothing interesting in the paper today.

All unimportant things.

Last night I had a dream, you were in a stable, milking a cow.

Your hands were all covered in milk that was dripping between your fingers.

What a fucking dream!

At one point I woke up suddenly.

I had the feeling that you weren't there.

And instead you were there, next to me.

You slept peacefully like an angel, lucky you.

How did you do in church?

It's not possible, two divorcees! And why wasn't I invited?

Even Mom was very offended.

Inverts are not welcome in church.

How limited and uncouth you are.

You don't know that I was also about to get married in church.

And how did it go? Did you run away or did she run away?

The priest has escaped!

But really, Marquis, how did you manage to remarry in church?

What is it that Lelio can't do? How can we hunt this season, right?

The Marquis always does the right thing.

- Shh! - There it is!

Good morning.

Good morning love.

Love.

Sorry for the delay.

- Elena, please, a little modesty. - Still with this modesty?

Modesty is merely an invention of small bourgeois minds.

You act like great bon vivants, but you're just moralists.

Not me. If you want, I'll undress right now!

Have mercy, spare us.

On this island everyone should feel free

to be and do what he wants.

There is no single morality or way to love.

You just have to understand what yours is,

and find someone who can share it with you.

This is true love.

And who is this Greek hero? Where did you find him?

Michel? He's a French archaeologist.

- Is he good in bed? - Stop it, he's all crazy.

Uh!

- Go! - I'm going, I'm going! All right, I'm going!

Watch out for jellyfish!

Uh!

- Why don't you dive in? - We're all exhausted.

- Exhausted from what? - Doing nothing tires you out.

You get the idea! And thank goodness he was all in the head!

Mr. Marquis, were you expecting other guests?

- No. - There's a boat approaching.

Tourists.

Pass me the rifle.

The rifle, it's right there!

Silverio.

They understood.

Have you invited anyone over for the weekend yet?

Not yet, apart from the usual ones.

Tell me who you want and I'll invite them.

Nobody.

Not even the usual ones.

Are you OK?

Yes.

Did they do something to you?

No.

In fact, they amuse me.

Only that...

What if we were alone for a bit?

Young!

Young man!

But are you in a hurry for a specific reason?

The Marchioness likes it that way.

What does the Marchioness like? Dying?

Marchesa!

Do something.

This is the best caprese in my neighborhood.

I wanted you to taste it.

You like caprese, yes?

It would be good if Elena ate it too.

Slowly, slowly. Slowly, slowly, it will start again.

It's a strong sadness, the kind that doesn't let you get out of bed,

and the first thing it takes away is your appetite.

The important thing is that it doesn't hold the evil eye.

He's already better.

It looks like a ghost to me.

First she dragged herself into the room, I've never seen her walk like that.

He's physically fine.

If your head still weeps a little, it's normal.

It takes time, give time time.

It's not a walk in the park, you understand? Yeah.

Are you really sure that your methods are sufficient?

Yes, Mr. Marquis, trust me.

In the meantime, you bring him the dessert in person,

she will be happy.

Silverio.

Bring a slice to the Marchesa, please.

No, leave it on.

Pasqualina?

I placed her in the green room, as you requested.

Where do I put this, ma'am? On the table at the entrance?

Ask Pasqualina.

There's absolutely nothing on the table that fits.

- Where do I put it? Underneath? - You're not being funny, Marlon Brando.

In the meantime, place it in the corridor, near the other three holy water fonts.

A sacral quadrilateral must be created.

I have to find the right place, location is important.

A magical energy field must be created that protects all those in between.

Basil.

Onion.

Carrot.

Ricotta.

Puma roll.

Bread. Eggs. Garlic.

Parsley. Spaghetti. Chicken. Dog.

Blessed are you, O God our Father, in this family, in this house,

and may those who dwell there forever guard the gifts of your spirit.

Thank you for your blessing. Amen.

- Sorry, I... - Stop!

- Where are you going? - I have to put the water on the stove.

All the inhabitants of the house must be present, otherwise it has no effect.

Sorry, but the Marchesi family isn't here.

I'm here, in spirit.

The house is full of them.

Sant'Antonio, sant'Antonio...

But can't it be avoided? It's freezing.

Do you think I'm going to boil holy water?

- But you've never heard of it! - Come on, she's not a saint.

No, no, it's a saint, it's a saint. For what I paid for it.

You got screwed.

I bought it directly from Father Cuspet, smuggled.

A sacristan friend of mine, but he doesn't give it to everyone.

Do you see it?

It's already having an effect.

This is the first time I've seen you laugh.

This one takes away bad moods.

You're the one who takes them away, that's why I want you here.

Okay, now you're making me blush.

I am of a certain age.

Sant'Antonio, Sant'Antonio, Sant'Antonio...

Positive energies need time

to spread in one way or another.

Meanwhile, our Elena has returned to eating at the table.

It's not just my merit. She was good, she contributed.

Ah, here it is!

And that's also good manners!

It's a blessing!

Good luck! Congratulations! It's a boy, right?

We don't know, I think it's a female.

- Oh well, it's the same thing. - Are you happy?

And you see.

Yes, you really look different.

- Okay, I said something banal. - If you haven't found someone yet,

In Naples I know a very good midwife, a discreet housewife.

- Just one phone call. - Teresa knows how to do it.

He doesn't need you.

You're too good, Pasqualina.

You always want to take care of everyone, but in this case there is no need.

You have already done so much for us.

Actually, since I have to go ashore tomorrow for some personal business, I'll take you home.

- Elena, don't you need another day? - Tomorrow is nice, the day after tomorrow not.

And you don't set sail with the ugly.

Good night.

Elena?

- What's up? - I want to show you something. Come over there.

- Silverio! - Yes, my Lord Marquis.

Get a bottle of champagne, and some glasses, too.

Not two, four.

Drink with us.

Every now and then, it's good to have a drink together. Do you agree?

Yes, Mr. Marquis, thank you.

After all, we are all one big family.

I'm already growing up there.

You're a bit like my children, aren't you?

There are moments in life when...

you don't have to be afraid or ask

nor to understand what is the right answer.

- Do you agree, Silverio? - Yes.

I don't know. You're confusing me, Marquis.

I don't want to confuse you.

I'll be very blunt.

This...

we...

We would like to take care of the baby you are about to give birth to.

You already have one child and you will have more.

Think about the future of this creature.

Think about what we could offer them.

The best schools, any job, if he ever wanted to work.

- An important surname... - Mr. Marquis, please...

You don't have to answer me right away.

Think about it.

Think about it.

Do it for yourself too.

I'll fix you up for the rest of your lives.

Elena would be a wonderful mother.

Right, dear?

We will be one big family.

Silverio.

Any amount will do.

I have no limits.

Teresa, be good.

Teresa!

Mr. Marquis, thank you for this very generous offer.

We'll think about it.

With permission.

Get up! Forward!

- I'm cold. - I'm tired of this. - Leave me alone. - Enough.

Leave me alone.

When I get back, I want you dressed. Come on! Get dressed!

Oh, are you done telling me what to do? Huh?

You've regained your strength.

Good. Get dressed!

What do you want from me?

- What did I do to you? - You wanted to buy me a baby!

But how did it come to your mind?

Of course, it was stupid to even think that.

Within two months you would have hated him and he would have ended up hating you, like everyone else.

You humiliated them, huh! You always think you can buy everything, you!

I bought you.

Oh, no. You didn't buy me.

- I'm the one who wanted you. - And now you don't want me anymore.

- You don't want me anymore? - I don't know.

I'm not happy here anymore. Leave me alone.

I want to get out of here.

- Leave me alone, please. - And where are you going?

You don't know how to do anything. You don't know how to live in the world.

Where are you going? You should thank me.

- Only I take care of you. - Pasqualina took care of me.

- And you took her away from me. - She did it because I paid her!

Do you know what this is?

Envy!

It's envy!

Because you're big and strong, but you whine like a baby.

Don't you dare do that again!

- Don't you dare! - You like it like this, huh? You like it?

- Apologize to Silverio! - You like it that way, huh?

- Take the proposal back. - Do you like it like this?

- Get up! - Let's go back to what we were.

Let's go back to being what we were!

Enough with the sadness. Enough.

- What? - Enough with the sadness.

We are alone, we.

- Yes, just you and me. - No!

- Just you and me. - No! Look at me!

We are alone.

You crowd around yourself so you don't think you're alone, but you are alone!

And you don't see anyone else but yourself.

And you have no one else,

if not me.

That's right.

What the fuck!

You'd like to get fucked like they fuck me, huh?

- Huh? - Shut up.

- Let me go. - No! Stay here.

Stay here. Stay here.

Stay here. Stay here.

Don't leave me alone. Don't leave me.

Don't leave me alone.

We're coming!

A boat arrived loaded, loaded with...

Thanks, Silve', you're always a marvel.

Treasure!

I'm already a little stoned.

I swear, I see dragons! But there aren't any dragons here, are there?

Lelio! Look who I brought you.

They are all new, young,

not the usual idiots, a bit of modernity!

Come!

Let me introduce you, this is Elena, the famous Marchesa, our guest.

And they are... What did you say your name was? Franco, Fausto?

- Okay! - Good morning!

Let's leave out the names, there will be plenty of time for getting to know each other, right?

- Nice! - Eh!

Listen, Lelio, the other evening in Posillipo, there was a certain Odescalchi...

Need help?

No, no, thanks.

Pleased to meet you, Marchesa, I'm Cesare.

Welcome.

To the soul of whoever is alive, look at that!

Dance like a little robot!

That's the daughter of the lawyer Nicosi.

That other one, the long-haired one,

he is the nephew of Engineer Roberti, the one from the bridge.

And this other one here is a Beretta, but it's from the lame branch.

Uh! Uh!

I'll show you how a man gets turned on.

Uh! Uh!

- Are you with him? - Who, me? When ever!

Free as the wind! Or lonely as a dog, you choose.

Why did you insist Nicoletta take you?

I've always seen you from afar, among the others.

And now up close?

What do you think?

Same?

My first time at Number One, I saw you dancing in the middle of a crowd.

It seemed like there was only you.

You were so beautiful.

But also so alone.

And why didn't you try to get to know me then?

We were not alone.

Even now we are not alone.

What do you say?

Always unreachable?

A bit'.

You know that if I want, I can shorten this distance.

Keep going. Keep going, just keep going.

Why did you stop? Keep going.

Didn't you tell him how it works? Undress him.

That's not the case.

Is he shy?

Didn't you tell him we could pay him?

I go.

I'll bring it back to you right away.

Stop!

- Where are you going? - I'm leaving. I'm waiting for the boat.

Nicoletta told me that you pestered her to get you to take her,

that you asked everyone about Elena.

At that time?

So what?

Where are you going?

Did you understand?

Wow, wow! It took you a while to get here, huh?

I come from far away, love.

- He's... - A poor guy you're torturing.

If funding him means torturing him!

- What does he do? - He's an artist.

He is doing work on the relationship between spaces and silences.

So if we stay silent, he gets to work!

Come on, Ricky! Don't always simplify everything with such brutality.

I can imagine how much it must have cost you.

Girls! It's time for the love train.

So it's your turn to lead the way, since the Prince is no longer here.

Poor Prince!

Peace be to his soul.

- And Mom's too. - What happened to Mom?

She's dead.

I'm finally free!

- Are you afraid he won't come? - No, he will come.

It's just a matter of minutes.

How nice to see you, dear.

You even came accompanied, good job.

Good evening, Mr. Marquis.

If I had known that the party was a masquerade, I would have gone along with it.

You are not masked either.

I must have forgotten.

What is the boy's house like?

It's as big as our bedroom.

And what are the roommates like?

Very young and very busy.

Do you all talk about politics together in the evening?

Strange but true.

And were you with them too?

No.

I only want him.

And I only want you.

How do we put this?

Things change, Lelio.

And sometimes they end.

One, two, three, one, two, three.

So, today is December 31, 1969.

Soon we will finally be in 1970!

Let's free ourselves!

Let's get rid of all our lies!

- Let's enter the future! - Yes!

Let's start with Rossella. Yes, our beloved Rossella.

Tell us, Rossella, who's the dumbest person in this house tonight?

The man with the microphone.

And tell us, trying to overcome, so to speak, your somewhat frigid attitude,

Who would you like to have sex with tonight?

- With Ricky. - Even with this faggot makeup?

And with the artist too.

And I was waiting for him, yes.

So tell us, do you have any fantasies?

Because if you have it, you have to tell us!

I would like...

stay hidden behind a green hedge,

d'estate,

just after the bath,

and feel,

but just hear them,

two people having sex.

And I get excited,

but I can't touch myself,

Why...

my hands are tied.

If you tell me where you are, I'll join you right away.

Nicoletta, would that bother you?

I wouldn't care.

So, leather for leather, who would you like to fuck tonight?

Con Ricky,

and his wife.

Marquis, what are you doing?

Actually, tell us. What's your ideal partner?

Me, of course.

Elena, my wife.

And Caesar. Nothing new, it's all in the family.

Let's hear what Caesar thinks. Let's give Caesar what belongs to Caesar!

Why are you here?

For Elena.

Don't you want to make love to us?

There is no longer an us, Lelio.

Have you already forgotten everything, dear?

Now I'll remind you.

Oh!

But what a beauty!

No one loved each other like we did.

That's exactly what you liked, and I think you still like it.

Enough, Lelio.

It just is.

Did you understand!

- And let us see! - Get up, get up!

Enough! Turn off this fucking projector!

This is our love, dear.

The real one, without hypocrisy.

Not like the others.

Let's go. Let's go.

For the first time in your life you managed to make a fool of yourself.

Are you satisfied?

Halftime's over! Chips, peanuts, orange juice!

Rossella! Rossella!

Elena! Let's talk tomorrow, maybe without speaking.

It's my presence that drives him crazy.

You have nothing to do with it. He's got it in for me.

The Marquis is waiting for her in his study.

Afterwards, you'll take us back on the boat, okay?

I do what the Marquis tells me to do.

There are still three of us.

What do I offer you?

We didn't come to drink.

I understand that very well, but you always want a lot of things, Elena.

You'll want something now too.

I thought I was clear on the phone.

Yes.

And I promised you, but...

why the rush?

I'm pregnant.

- Is it a boy? - We don't know.

It takes time for a divorce,

It's difficult with the Sacred Rota, you know, we've been there before.

I kept my word, I came here.

Now you keep yours.

Here it is.

Ready, as promised.

Don't you read it?

I trust you.

There!

You will never be loved half as much as I have been loved.

You probably don't know this woman half as well as I do.

Remember that.

Lelio. Look at me.

Look at me.

See you at the pier.

Sandrone! Sandrone! Sandrone!

Sandrone! Sandrone! Sandrone!

Here they are!

- So? - ​​Everything's fine.

He finally signed.

Eight, seven, six, five,

four, three, two, one!

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to you.
