Original subtitles

Angeluzzo Paterno, get out of bed

My God

Who's there?

Vito Acicatena, for you

Angelu...Angelu

Angeluzzo Paterno, murdered by persons unknown

That's what the judges said

Angelo Paterno was killed by persons unknown

...they said

And yet everyday here knew that is was Vito Acicatena,

Vito Acicatena

Vito Acicatena, he killed him in front of my very eyes

Anyone of you could have testified

But you all kept quiet

And you're not silence to kill him

Cowards, all of you! You hear me?

You forgot about the baron's abuses, eh?

My poor Angelo...

His death is on your conscience

My poor child who was born dead

Better to die

...than to set his eyes upon such snakes

...in this stinking town

That's enough, signora Paterno

That's enough now, understand?

You're all guilty

All right, stop that

Stop this nonsense, you're disturbing the peace

I am disturbing the peace!

Quiet

That doesn't disturb the peace? Huh?

Be silent

Don't you touch me, understand?

Move, go

Move, move before I put you inside

You rotten people

Out, Out! Go on

You make me sick

You were born slaves and you will die slaves

...but I won't, no sir

Ah, beautiful, beautiful

No wonder the greed invaders fell in love with Sicily

And made it their most flourishing colony

Beautiful and yet desperate

Look...look there

Child labor...a curse in this country

...One of the many curses

You'll never know

The injustices suffered by this dear land of mine

...And my dear Sicilians

reared on pain and endless privations

But yet unpredictable, an extravagant race

Is that a woman in a coal cart?

A woman who carts coal, who is she?

Slow down

That's the widow Paterno, the Neapolitan

don't you remember?

Stop

Gimme, gimme my camera. Hurry up

Here, here

Heh, heh, heh, she looks like a bandit, huh?

Over here?

Yet, yet, stop

Look at the way she drives a mule...like a man

Look

Oh, this is Sicily

You didn't know

cause it's the years that you've been far away

What do you mean?

She's the widow of Angeluzzo Paterno

She didn't think the judges

made a fair decision at the trial

What trail?

What trail?

You mean to say that you don't know

how Angeluzzo Paterno was killed?

No

Signora Paterno

Look out

My God! Mannaggia!

Oh, excuse me

Wait a moment...

Uh, Signora Paterno

What the hell does he want?

You need any help?

No! What do you want?

I'd like to speak to you about your husband

Hmm, my husband...my husband is right there,

you see, go talk

I understand your misgivings, you are right,

after what happened, ah

I am Rosario Maria Spallone

Perhaps you've heard of me,

although I've been away a long time

I am a socialist and a lawyer

Huh, better a plague

You are right...you are right

but this is a special case,

one that should be brought to justice

Justice...big word

Your husband believed in justice

Yes, he did

Angelo Paterno was murdered

because he took part in the fisherman's strike

He refused to raise prices, he defied the baron

and the baron wanted him to starve

But I heard the withesses at the trial

were intimidated...as usual

And uh...excuse me, I, I also know

you lost your baby that same night

I'm terribly sorry

Yet, I must ask you about the facts

You hear him, Angelu? He wants the fact

Go ask those lying bastards in town

they'll give you the facts

But, Signora, no, you don't seem to understand

I want a new trail

Yeah, and we want to sell charcoal

But I am an enemy of your own enemies

so what better friend could you have than l7

Hmm

Explain

This trial, Signora Paterno is important

Well?...0h

Excuse me...I'm

I don't know if you understood what I...

In other words, I was saying that after being involved with the party,

and in politics ...after so many years

...feel the need to be involved with

more closely with the reality of this town of mine

Anyway

I took this photograph of you the same day I arrived

You seemed so, so beautiful, so proud

midst the olive trees

Please, accept it

Signora Paterno, it could be a great trial

Go away, Mr. Socialist

When you were needed, you,

you were playing politics in Rome, wearing a red tie

But, signora, I

...joking in cafes

Now it's over;

I'm through with lawyers

Get out of here

Really now

Get out of here right now

Good God

Get out

What a temper

Out

Out of my house

I understand

No, I don't understand

Signora Paterno

Signora Paterno, you owe me an explanation

Ah, there you are, signora

You were very rude to me...you threw me out

May I know why?

Because you disgust me

You and your big words

You're a faker

Faker?

I will not take that, signora, from anyone

Then take this

I'm disgusting?

A faker?

How dare you say that, huh?

Out

If you please, I will hot permit such language

Out of here

You're witch

I'm sorry, a lady shouldn't

talk that way to anybody

Were my actions to be interpreted?

As unethical?

Anyway

I'm attracted, certainly I'm attracted

but only for political and social reasons

And that's all

Hah, it's the trail that attracts me

my dear widow Paterno

I'm a faker, huh...disgusting...hah

It's unheard of

A faker, huh? Of all that...

You're mad, my dear woman, mad

Rosine, where are you?

Oh, Rosina...Rosina, where you gone?

Rosine

Concetta Paterno

It seems that two years now...

...that you've been going around town saying you've going to kill me

Am I supposed to believe that, signora, huh?

Where you running?

Wait

Over here, Concetta Paterno

Ah

Think, I didn't notice

what a nice woman you are, signora

Angeluzzo Paterno wasn't good enough for you

Hah, go on shoot

And when you run out, I'll let you feel

what it's like to have a real lover

Ah

The shots are over and we have some fun

Come here

You'll love it, uh

Murderer

You shake

Come here

Ah

Snake, huh?

No

Murderer

Keep still

What're you gonna do with that, huh?

I'll give it to you good

I'll give it...what are you doing?

Bitch

Ah

It's gonna hurt

And you're gonna cry like a cat

Yeah, shout, go on

Love is better when it hurts

Stop it

Stop

Let go of me

You miserable wretch

Let go of me

Is that what you want, huh?

Is that what you want, eh?

You bitch

Here, shoot at him

The slut

Spallone...Spallone...

Oh, my God

How do you feel?

Here

Oh

Forget it

Why did you?

I have to know

Why

You remember Caterina

Oh, ah, which Caterina

You don't even remember her

She worked in your house many years ago

But you don't remember

Caterina? Who is this Caterina?

She gave you a son

A son

Yeah, a son, a son

The little creature was sent to an orphanage

And that poor girl got thrown out and spat upon

and treated like a whore

Because of that, you make me sick

No...I didn't know anything

Naturally

Sure, you had to leave, you had to go to university,

Politics, socialism, eh

You couldn't waste your time

with a little peasant girl you just fooled around with

But she needed a job

what could she do?

You were the young master of the house and she didn't dare say no

You are disgusting

Come on, a man is a man®Vit can happen

Ah, oh...it even happened to Karl Marx

the founder of socialism

Ah, socialism

Even he, there was some incident...

with his maid...and he too had a son

Did he recognize him?

No...he couldn't

Then he's a shit

How do you know all about that?

Uh, Caterina, I mean

It all happened thirty years ago

It was a poor woman who told me

I helped her have an abortion

Abortion

Yeah, abortion, abortion

A good deed I call it

There are three kinds of men: men, half men

and bastards

And one should make children only with a man

Otherwise it's far better to spare those poor

creatures the sight of this rotten world

But you couldn't

And I would go: I don't give a damn about the law

You are so pure and...pure and clean

Like a flame

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

Don't scare me

What is it?

Huh?

I'm cold...I'm so cold

Huh®s

Oh

If things turn out badly put me on a coat

...and take me up on a mountain

and leave me there

I've caused enough trouble

Oh, no, no, what are you saying?

Didn't you save me

from something worse than death?

I'll never leave you, hever

Spallone! Gesu Mannaggia

What

What is it, oh, my god?

A little kiss

A kiss? You want a kiss?

From me?

Amore

I can't

You're choking me...Spallone

I thought you said you were dying

Ah, you brought me back to life

Be good, be good

Oh, what sweet passion, madness, ecstacy

You inflamed my blood

Let me go

O, chaste goddess

No

Angelo

Ah, delight...amore

Infinite ecstacy

You mean it? Amore

Ah, honey lips...honey lips

Oh, my god...Spallone

Let me look at you, caress you, ohhh

Let me kiss you

O, sweet wonder of creation...of the sun

Of the planets, Divine spheres

Hecate...God, sweet Jezebel...

Aphroditeo, vestal divinity

Spallone, be quiet

Font of pleasure

Let's do it...but in silence

Spallone, Spallone, wake up

You brought life back to me...VVenus...

Fleur de lys in my embrace

You're talking silly

Now you gotta go, it's getting late

Amour, amour, amour, amour

Spallo, there's a thing I got to ask you

Less political ideals which I hold as sacred

all else*Vmy existence, as,

my estate I do place at you feet

Hmm

Oh, these beautiful fee, like petals

rose petals

It's very easy

I want you to forget what we've done

You must do it

Forget? No, let's remember instead

Till we're dead, forever

What are you doing, making poetry?

Spallone

Hmmm, don't call me Spallone

I feel as if I'm in the army again

But your name is Rosario Maria

Oh

Don't worry, no names no more, all right

I'm just a widow

What I did, I did for...to show you my gratitude

I belong to Angeluzzo and that's the way it's gonna be

Have you gone mad?

Don't you understand that I love you?

Concetta Faterno

And our withess is your husband up there

He can attest...to your virtue

He'd say.. titian, you fell in love?

And then

I'd have to say...no

Oh, it's not possible...before when I held you

I could tell you reacted and loved me

Ah, yeah, I was weak, weak, all right?

Weakness without love thought is...Spallone

What happened, never happened, understand?

What if I should go and hang myself?

It means that you're a son of bitch and that you don't love me

What's your pay?

Hm, yeah, the old story

The years pass, but in this country,

still the same old shit

Who are you, what do you want?

On their knees all day long down in that pit

like mice

And five taris a day is all they get

...like when I worked here, yeah...

Right in this here mine,

when I was a kid and that was long

Hey, what is all this?

Who gave you the permission to come here?

Who are you?

Ah...it's not the bookkeeper's fault,

he's a good guy, kids...

Yeah

And to prove it he wants everybody...

to get double pay this week

Anita that right?

You're a real person., real good guy

What good guy?

What will I tell the Baron?

Frankly, I don't know. Maybe you can say that...

it was a miracle by the Madonna

Or if you prefer...you can say there was a guy...

who was puttin' the pressure on you...

The name is Nick Sanmichele

Not bad, huh, Spaventa?

Nice shot

Over here...Here we are

That's the one

Oh! What are you doing?

The bird's mine. I shot it

There, you see? From my gun

Genuine American music

It's wonderful

Wha...?

I'm taking a bath

What do you want? Get out of here

Only you...only you don't know who I am, huh

Everybody likes me And yet you, no!

I don't know who you are and I don't give a damn

I'm Nick sanmichele,

Angeluzzo's second cousin

Don't you remember?

Nicuzzo

Nicuzzo...Madonna, you were just a little kid

Okay...anyway, I uh

I came here to say hello to you before leaving because I'm returning to New York

and there is this big present for you, this gramophone, hm

But I see that uh...maybe I disturb you here

yeah, I know

Okay, don't worry

I'll go to your home and wait for you there, hm?

Wait...wait a moment

Wait

Nicuzzo...Nicu...Mannaggia

couldn't you wait?

Nicuzzo, it's really you? You came back

Oh, my god, you look like a millionaire

Did you like the flowers and the silver frame I bring you?

Oh, it was you...they were beautiful

God knows how much you spent

Ahhh

And the frame, too, that you dedicated to Angeluzzo

the first nice thing anyone has over done for him

Isn't that so, Angeluzzo?

You see, your little cousin came

That's right, Angeluzzo, I've come back here to say hello to you

Because now I am an American...

I made a lot of money there

I got a bar in New York...

yeah, and now I speak American

Just think, if you had left in my place...

who know...ah, Christ?

Don't say that, don't wish that

Why not...if it's the truth?

Why can't I?

I loved him, too

You know what happened...

about the trial everything?

You know that the bastard

who killed him right under my eyes is still alive and free?

Yeah, yeah

His name is Vito Acicatena

Uh, yeah, we know the facts

He's back and he's a fascist

and I got no peace

I got no peace

Aw, don't worry about it now

I just got here...

it's a special day today and for you and I

I brought flowers and for Angeluzzo

Did you read on the frame, huh?

The dedication we wrote?

We'll never forget you

So, don't worry about it

Anyway

there's uh this nice present for you from Uncle John from New York

this gramophone

You remember Uncle John, Zio Giovanni?

Wanna give me a little smile now? Hm?

No

Vaffancuio

For many years I wanted to cry...

now he comes along and I'm supposed to smile

Take this phone-o-phone back to America

I couldn't care less, understand?

Okay, so, I'm leaving tomorrow

but before I go you gotta make me some lasagne

with those little meatballs inside

huh, like you used to

You remember, don't you, baked lasagne

Remember?

Where you put in a little basis and garlic...okay

I'll see you tomorrow

But who invited you?

You...because I read it in your eyes

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow, at twelve o'clock

Wa-wait

The music...what am I gonna do with that damn machine?

Mannaggia

Nicuzzo, come back here. Wait

Nicuzzo, will you wait a minute

What's the matter with you?

Don't forget, lasagne with meatballs

Come back here

Tomorrow

It's time to eat

Good for nothing, never here when it's time to eat

It's time to eat

Ah, you're finally here

Maria, his highness has arrived

Oh, what are you doing with that newspaper?

Not to read

Did you hear me, it's time to eat?

Are you coming or not?

Cover your mouth when you yawn, ill-mannered

What did I ever do to deserve a son like that?

Acute arteriosclerosis...at work

Cross yourself

Put the napkin in front of you...

around your neck

Or you'll get the sauce all over your shirt

Ha

You got to explain what you are doing with this book

LAND TO THE PEASANTS

Ha, the land to whom earns it

You're supposed to be a landowner,

a proprietor and you read a thing that says Land to the Peasants

You you you you're an imbecile

You're totally mad

Mad, totally mad

Marial Maria

Watch out, Mamma, 'cause I'm going to leave

Oh, you're gonna go away again, eh?

Here

So what else is new?

Rosario

Thank you

You should eat more, you look sick

You're so run-down, eat eat

you're all full of wrinkles...dried up, skinny, obnoxious

You make me feel ashamed

And don't drink

Don't drink...stop it I said

I said don't smidge

You're gonna smudge yourself

Listen to your mother

My mother?

Sh

But the truth is that I want to have sauce all over me...all right?

Oh, look at the poor thing;

he thinks he's being cute, imbecile

I'm warning you

I'm going to have you committed if you continue like this

Ah

In an asylum

Believe me, I'll consider it a vacation

but you better do it right away

because I'm about to sell the Saing Agatha orchards

You out of your mind?

I mean you're joking

No, no

Oh, my God, you want me to have a stroke this instant?

Possibly...but nothing can kill you

Then it's true

You're going to sell

Yes, it's true, I made the deal

I need the money

because I'm going to present myself

to the electorate as a socialist deputy

But Rosario

A deputy who says the Land to the Peasants

Oh, fine

Now try to have a nice stroke

May I come in?

Is anybody here?

There's nobody here

Excuse me, sir

Are non-members allowed?

Certainly, certainly, why don't you take a seat?

Thank you,

I ask because on the door outside it says For Members Only

so I didn't know

I mean, I said to myself, what should I do

I should enter, I should not enter, I don't wanna disturb nobody,

you know what I mean?

Come in but be quiet, silence, please

Oh, yeah, sorry

Thank you, sir...with your permission

Chip

Mmmm

I'm in

Ten liras

Mum

No, I pass

Rosario,

are you bluffing or are you out to ruin me tonight?

I keep losing here

Betm Lucio, go ahead, go ahead

yeah, go ahead, he keeps betting like a nut

Let me think a little...you're really a big pain in the ass tonight, you know

Would you like to sell?

Ah, is it okay if I take over his game?

What do you mean?

Well, we do this a lot in America

Do what?

I take over your game and consequently I pay your losses...

you know what I mean?

I'm buying the right, the right to play in your place

if you want to

The only trouble is you should be informed

I'm losing over a hundred and twenty liras

For me it's all right

it's up to you, Rosario

He's taking all the losses

that difference does it make, don't you think, Rosario

Uh, won't you sit down?

Thank you, thank you...okay

Well...hey, kid, come over here

How about a little drink, huh?

No, no thanks

Let me offer you a drink

How about you?

No, I don't drink, thanks

All right, a cognac for me, kid

huh, hurry up

Oh, well, then

Let's see the way things stand

Pair of sevens, pair of eights and my possible straight

Want to do something more exciting tonight, hmm?

You better liras...

what do you say we raise it, a hundred?

No, I'm out

You staying in, pair of sevens?

It's too heavy, not for me, thanks

Jack, ace, king bets a hundred

quite a sum

You're accustomed to betting on a higher lever in America

But not to make you feel

you're among a bunch of provincial Italians

not only I'll see you for a hundred,

but I'll raise you five hundred

Rosario

Five hundred?

Five hundred, five hundred, you heard me

We'll never remember all this

I'd better write it down

Deal'em out

Queen with a pair of eights...and a pair of aces

Bet...aces bet

Yes sir

Do you establish a limit here to the betting?

No, none

Ah, okay wonderful... all right

What do you bet?

Whatever you got in front of you plus... one thousand?

One thousand it is, then

Ciccio

The Saint Agatha fields and the orchard, how much are they worth?

He's gone out of his mind

Including livestock and all?

You gone mad?

Don't be a ball-breaker...how much is it all worth?

I don't know, at least...thirty thousand

Naturally, thirty thousand liras is an approximate evaluation

if you are willing to accept it

Of course, aren't we all gentlemen here?

I don't know if the bet is a little...over your head

I am at your service

Well, all right

Even the whole thirty thousand is okey with me

All right, thirty thousand is the bet, if you want to stay in

Hmm, okay

I see you for thirty thousand

Three eights

Hmm, I'm sorry

Minchia, he's got three aces

Well, that's the breaks

He's ruined you, my God

What's the matter with you, you drunk, you gone mad?

What the hell were you doing?

Having some fun

Isn't a gentlemen entitled to a little fun?

I'm really sorry if this is a big problem for you

don't worry, let's forget about it, huh?

How about uh if we cancel the bet?

I don't want to cause you any trouble

Me, trouble?

You don't seem to understand, Mr. America

I can double the stakes

Rosario

You see the palazzo out in the square?

I can throw that into boot, if you still want to play

Rosario, please

That's enough now

You're being ridiculous, Rosario...

Excuse me, but let the lawyer make up his own mind

He's a lawyer, he don't need a wet nurse

Do you want to play, huh?

Yes, I want to play, come on

Hmm

Wonderful, generous, noble and out of your mind, great

But you're missing a fundamental quality to be a real card player,

Mr. Lawyer, and you know what?

Nose

I took your nose...just like

I took the third ace out of my sleeve

I cheated

You are a cheat

Eh

Yes, sir...but I don't do it for a living

It's just to have some fun

But it's no fun with you

And you know why?

Because you're too much of a kid

...you're really dumb

You bastard

No, you can't say that

If I was a bastard

if I was a bastard

I'd have made you

lose your shirt and your dirty underwear too

Mr. Lawyer Spallone

You scum

Keep your eyes open next time...heh...gentlemen

Why you little

No, Rosario

control yourself, for God's sake

Yeah, listen, sonny

Instead of being insulting you ought to say thanks to me

That's what you want to say

Let him go, let him go, Rosario

Au revoir, Rosario Maria

Ah, no, put me down, bad boy, no

Put her down

Are you crazy? Put her down

Stop it

Put me down

You gonna put her down or not?

Where?

Over there

Manna, mamma mia

Yeah, okay, tootsie, okay, nice and easy

Ah a lawyer again

Looks like you're having a feast

Am I right or wrong?

Am I right or wrong, heh?

What the hell do you care?

No, it's just that uh, I didn't know

Then what did you come for anyway?

I smelled something wonderful

Meatloaf?

No, it's lasagne with meatballs

A fantastic perfume

Perhaps I am being indiscreet seeing as you are having a family reunion

but Donna Titina

Would you hot honor me by requesting that I join you? Hm?

Come, sit...sit down

My sincerest thanks

Here's to us!

Hey, our lawyer's a real nice guy, isn't he?

Are you sure you are the son of Don Alfio Spallone?

Hm mm

That's strange because your father

instead he used to push everybody around, especially his peasants

like my father

Oh, u didn't know about that

Yeah, but one day

my father got pissed off at your father

and faced him with a knife in his hand

And you know what your father

said then to my father?

Bad times, he said,

when an honest man can't even

kick his own peasants around anymore.

Really? He said that to him?

Yeah, that's what he said

He did well

Your father did very well to rebel like that

A man full of dignity

Yeah, a dead man full of dignity

Because after that your father told him

where her could go

And so my father had to work in the sulphur mine

Ah, I wish that knife had been in my hand

If you know how I hated my father

poor old guy, afraid, destroyed...

because he didn't knife your father when he should have

Then he got sick, he caught the miner's disease

and died within a year

That's frightening, it's a tragedy...

1, I feel guilty for my father

It wasn't your fault

Here

At sixteen I left home...

and became an anarchist!

What the hell for?

Just to go against my father

You hated your father, he hated his father

and I hated my mother

That's good

We all grew up hating

Wonderful

Hate is a good teacher

it's a wonderful test

Look at us, for instance

With hate in your belly you grow strong

it's all force

It's me, open up

No nobody saw me, don't worry

Shhh, quiet, quiet

They mustn't hear us

What are you doing there?

Oh, nothing special...

I just wanted to know how much you charge

I can pay you good...

I can even pay you with dollars if you want

What a pity

And to think no one suspected anything either

Concetta paterno

Even in New York they know about her-

the widow with the rifle

The faithful and revengeful lady

who swore that she'd get her husband's killer?

But instead

You are the town's secret whore

Come here, let's have a drink

Hmm?

With a rifle

Get dressed and get out of here

Come on

What's the matter, did I make the lady feel bad?

How's it possible...for a woman who gets around, like you do?

Forget it, nothing has happened

I don't want to see you anymore

And why is it good for the others and not for me?

A relative, if anything

has more right, no?

You think that your dear departed up there will suffer to see you, huh?

Mmm, don't worry about it

I bet he'd be happy to see

with his own eyes

what a whore, his wife has turned into

I offer two hundred dollars

I'm ready, come and get it

On, you filthy pig

Out of my house, out

What do you think you're doing?

Don't touch me! You animal

I'll show you

Get down, dammed it

Get out

Get away from me

I'll show you

Get out

Let me go

No, no, no, no more

Come here

What are you doing?

Ah, you don't know what I'm doing, huh?

Take your hands off me

Take your hands off me

Keep still, mannaggia

God dam

Ti odio

Cosa fai?

Che cosa fai?

Keep still

Hey, what's this?

Elasciala

No, no, no, ah, no

And to think I had so much respect for you

as if you were the Blessed Virgin Mary

You don't even know, but you got into my blood

a long time ago, when I was a little kid

But Angeluzzo was like a brother to me

and I felt like Cain

because I wanted you

Tell me, who was in that house?

You went there like a bitch in heat

Tell me, who was in there

Open your eyes, look at me

Who was in there?!

I am with a poor woman;

she needed an abortion

What the hell are you saying?

What the hell am I saying? What I'm saying?

Huh?!

Take a look, she's still sitting there

An abortion

You've got to forgive me

I beg you, you've got to forgive me

You've got to forgive me

You've got to

Because I've always been

Because I've always been in love with you

From the very first day I respected you

and you know I loved you

I thought I was going out of my mind

But, you too,

you're crazy going around giving abortions

But now that I felt you so strong inside

You're a part of me forever

This is not for us; it's not for me

I don't belong to anyone

It's over, my life is over

No, no

Your life is in America

and you're still so young

So young

Young... In America, I killed twenty-five people

Oh, God

Why, why?

Why...because I had to do it

It was when they killed Uncle Nicola

A guy likes Aciatena

sold him down the drain

And I had to show them we had the guts to hit back

It was the only way to get

those bastards to show us respect

My poor Nick, my poor baby

you lost, too, amore mio

If you leave me then I'll be lost

I'll be lost for real

There is this nut who invented prohibition... and that prevents drinking

No wine, nothing

Prohibition for every kind of alcohol

Well, now, wouldn't have you tried to help the people

...and let them have a little drink?

There's no selling over the counter

And so, we sell the stuff under

But that's like smuggling

Yes, sir, But it's humanitarian

Humanitarian smugglers

Besides, when there is a million dollars involved and when

...ever nice ladies

let you pinch their ass

...bootlegging becomes respectable and it's

called business

Import and export

And since there is a ship that we've loaded with boozes that's going to Genoa

and Naples

and since now the fascists are playing around

I have to go and check on the organization

And so I'm leaving

You don't trust me, huh?

I'll be back in about a month

and I'll take you with me to America

My God. What a mess

It's better you don't return

You're a real nut, widow Paterno

I'm going to have to be real patient with you

Eh, to me, sounds like they want a revolution

No, listen, there's no need for it anymore by now,

it's clear

What is?

It's that the king is in agreement with Mussolini

They must be in agreement

otherwise with all his troops in Rome

there would've been a civil war

Ah, as usual

things will end with feasting and drinking wine

Thank God, what would you have wanted

another French revolution with guillotines and heads rolling?

We're better off this way

Yeah, feasting and drinking wine

Mussolini as head of state...

I can't imagine it

What a clown

Spallo, King Victor Emmanuel

Garibaldi, Mussolini

the names change, but here

it's always the same, always the same

But don't you realize

we could end up with an Acicatena as mayor of this town

Acicatena

At least I'll know where to find him and shoot him

Can't you understand, only those kinds of people win, hm?

No

What a shambles

My God

Spallone

Wait here

Spallone, where are you going?

Wait for me

Wait

Finally

Tutino told me, he said you were in here

What's the matter?

You're just in time

For what, what's

A showdown with the Baron

the peasants let's get moving

A revolt?

Spallone, where you going

Oh, there's little time, everybody's there already

I have to go

I, I'm sorry

Spallo

Who organized this revolt?

Where is everybody?

Hmm, they turned chicken, Christ, I knew it

Thank God instead that they didn't show up

Yeah, you let them occupy the land and then?

They'll be found guilty and no one will defend them

not even in parliament

They'll go to jail

Shut up, spallone, it was a golden opportunity

Yeah, golden opportunity“VIook out

God dam, you idiot

Golden opportunity of my ass

By losing your heads, you're not going to gain anything

The only way to take this land

is through legal procedure

The law decides; only the law can help you by the legal vote

But not now that the Fascists and Military are in cahoots together

You're talking like a fascist

Me a fascist

No, no, no, don't

Get out, get out of here

A fascist, huh? I'll strangle you

I'll kill you

Calling me a fascist, me

a fascist

Let me, let me go

I'll murder you

The Fascists, oh, my God

Peppino, come here

Run, spallone

Run, run

Acicatena

Who is the troublemaker?

This socialist idiot here

Where you going?

Out, out

Everybody out

Why, you bastards

The son of a bitch

Hit him

We'll show you what the law is

Get him up, get him up

Let everybody see what a beautiful sight

Our great and noble socialist

our great lawyer

Defender of lonely widows

And generous, too

Can you imagine, we got a landowner here who

squats on other peoples land

Son of a bitch, thinks you can spill on us, uh?

Who do you think you are?

He hates my guts, look at his eyes

Sounds like he wants to throw up

Yeah, well

we got something to pump the hate out of him, isn't that right?

Castor oil, a funnel

and we pour it down his gullet

till he drowns in his own shit

Drink up, lawyer

I don't want that slut coming in my house

I don't want her, understand?

Keep her out, keep her out

Out

You can't go in, you can't go in

Wait

No, no, no, signora

Spallo

Didn't I tell you, eh?

It's embarrassing for him, every ten minutes he has to

He should be through by now, wait a minute

Yeah, Maria, Maria

take that chamberpot, go on

Move

Come, signora, you can go in how, go in

Spallone

No, please

Mannaggia

Go away

Spallone

No, leave me alone

Who did it?

It's humiliating

It was Acicatena, oh?

That worm

They all ganged up, huh?

Spallo, look at me

And it was all my fault because of me

What humiliation, what a failure

Won't you even look at me?

You once said there are men, half men and bastards

I, where do I fit in with you

Shhh, stop it, don't talk like that

Ah, useless, full of dreams and vain ideals

I don't know how to live,

how to sustain a struggle

Nothing, I'm just a nothing

And that son of mine

I was thinking of him last night coming back from Rome

He would be thirty years old

Who knows what's become of him?

I make myself sick, I'm a failure

What are you saying?

What failure, useless

You know you are, you are for me

No, no, no, you're being sweet...

only because you pity me

No, no

No, I love you

Because you're clean and generous and strong

like a real man

And you respect all God's creatures

How did it happen?

Mannaggia, Angelu, what do I know?

Oh, I know how it happens, eh?

I know you think that

In other words you are saying that I was always a whore

Just a striking whore

But we didn't notice it, that' all

Now you sit there and smile

Smile, smile, your wife is a... Ah

Angeluzzo, Angeluzzo, I'm so better than my mama

I thought I was a good woman but ho, no

just dirt

Because I followed my heart

Is it my fault? If I love them both?

Now if that means I'm a stinking whore well

what can I tell you?

It's God's truth and amen

Hold it

Oh, my love

You've come back, finally

Crazy woman

You're back

You were crazy when I left

and now you're still crazy

What's the matter with you?

Wanna shoot me?

Huh?

No

Who did you think I was?

Acicatena

Tell the truth

This morning he almost killed spallone

He found out he was back from Rome

IT 1 had known

I would have gone and I would have shot that bastard

Ah, come on

Oh, it's terrible

Now stop talking about it

I'm back now...everything is okay, don't worry

No

Two months away from this crazy woman

Amore

Amore mio

Oh, my God

No...no, Nicuzzo

Amore mio

Amore, no

Oh, you turn me to butter when I should be strong

Don't make me act this way

Oh, you make me lose myself respect

Respect?

Ah, you're really crazy

Wherever I went this month to Genoa, Naples

I kept you here

Look, your papers, see, your passport

A passport?

Yeah, you're coming with me to America

Huh, you will?

You'll come with me

I think I'm going to have a baby

A baby?

My...baby

And I think it's Spallone's baby

Let go of me

You're crazy

Oh, my God

You could have at least told me

But you said nothing

If you had told me I would have understood

...And forgiven you

forgive what, Spallone?

What do you know about him?

Did you know that Acicatena was raping me

and he risked his life to save me?

Did you know that?

What are you talking about? Huh?

It was to thank him

What the hell has thanking got to do with your honor?

Honor? What honor?

And killing twenty-five people, what's that?

Honor or dishonor?

Only on time?

I gotta know

Answer me

Once?

Then why is it his?

Tell me the truth...is it mine?

Because if it's my son

and you don't tell me

that means you really take me for a no good killer

I'm the mother, only I know

It's his baby

And I don't even know if I want to go through with it

Does he know?

Listen, you hear them?

Listen to the way they carry on, those idiots

Excuse me a minute

Who knows what they're up to

Ah, there they are, and there's nobody to stop them

Not a policeman is sight

Look at that

Heh, and look at Acicatena leading the way

Acicatena

And you know where they're heading?

For the old amphitheater

Rosario, what are you doing?

You gone mad?

Don't worry if we eat a little cheese, sheepherder

My respects, it's an honor to serve you

Eat as much as you like

Good man, the Baron will be very happy

that you offered us some of his cheese

The Baron know me well

Vito Acicatena has always looked out for the Baron

I used to defend his property with a rifle

Now I use my Fascist

We black-shirted guards

brought law and order here

And we'll keep the order like good boys...

...like bad boys...Or very bad boys

all right?

Bravo! Wonderful

Who is that?

I don't know

What's he want?

My compliments

Will you allow an expaesano of yours to pay his respects?

Okay

You come right to the point, short and sweet

I don't think a socialist

is gonna show his face around here

You make them all fly away...Bravo

You got brains, you got bullets and you got balls!

Excuse me, but with whom do I have the pleasure?

Allow me to introduce myself

I'm Nick Sanmichele from New York

I'm an American

and in America we love Mussolini

Yeah, we love him a lot

It's fantastic the way you teach respect, great

I gotta tell the peasants back in New York about this

Ah, I'm on to you now

Am I right, you said Nick Sanmichele?

From New York

So where've you been

we thought you were gone after you caused all that trouble at the sulphur mine

They passed your name on to us

you went around putting strange ideas in the heads of those kids

Me?

Nick Sanmichele, yeah, yeah

What do you take me for a socialist?

I am an American

Well, since you're not a socialist

why don't you go mind your won lousy business?

You can talk like that in America

Here we don't like troublemakers

Me, a troublemaker?

Just because I passed out a few presents

to those little kids in the sulphur mine?

No, I'm even glad

You go to do that sort of thing there in America,

but not over here

Why not?

Because no

I like it

You got real class

You don't give a shit

I think you and me ought to have a little talk together

You and me...What for?

Hmm, who knows, we might hit it off nice together

You feel like going for a little ride with me, signora Acicatena?

We go in my automobile

If you don't mind, I don't particularly like rides

For no it's better to go walking, that is, if you don't mind

And if you should mind, if you should mind, that's all right, too

Eh, what can I say, these Black Shirts

they go right to the point

Wanna go for the ride?

Or are you afraid?

Afrai...afraid?

No, afraid?

Hey, did you hear what this guy asked me

if I'm afraid?

Vito Acicatena here is not afraid of you,

or anybody else

Did you hear that, is Vito Acicatena afraid?

The eventuality is that you are probably afraid of me

Maybe we ought to tell him, huh?

You fool around with Acicatena

you'll hang by your balls

understand, Americano?

Okay, so he's not afraid

Then let's go, you ready?

I'm ready, I'm ready

That's the spirit, here we go

It's up there

Wait for me here, boys

Vito Acicatena

Look out, Vito

Jesus Christ, what the fuck

Hurry up, let's get up there

Get him before he gets away

Up there, up there, there he is

Let him go, let him go, get up there

Get the hell back

Shoot, shoot

I got him, I got him!

Vito

Acicatena

What the fucking minchia you doing?

Get back up there, huh!

Get down, get down!

Acicatenal

Stop, I have to vomit

You can vomit later, there is no time now, dumb son of a bitch

Hurry up, come on!

That dumb son of a bitch ruined everything!

What?

We gotta get out!

Move, move, come on!

What's the matter?

Eh, what's the matter, he shot Acicatena, that's what's the matter

Acicatena?

Yeah, in front of everybody

Move, get what you need, and make it quick

Madonnal

Hurry up!

We've gotta go away

Go away for what?

To live, god dam it, the show is over, understand?

What are you saying, Nicuzzo?

We're playing for keeps, ho more fooling around you

understand?

I understand, I understand, but what am I supposed to do?

What's the matter with you, hurry up

But what should I get hurry up, hurry up, but for what?

Shut up, Mannaggia la puttana

Just hurry up and get what you need

But tell me what happened at least

Here, a fucking mess, that's what

Who did the shooting, what happened?

Spallone comes out waving a gun like an idiot!

Titan...

Spallone

What's the matter with you?

Spallone...oh,

Madonna, he's hurt, Nicuzzo

Too bad he isn't dead

Sit down...What did you do?

You were supposed to stay in the car

You are wounded

What do you make him kiss your hands?

What did he

This stupid bastard here, I had to kill three people

just because of him

And everybody saw it

Disgraziato, figghiu di puttana, vaffanculo a tia!

Stop insulting me

Insulting you?

Why not even a fucking Turk could insult you

Dumb son of a bitch you think killing a man is easy?

No, no, stop

Well, it's not

Be good

Where did you think you were

playing cards in your lousy club for members only?

Or else playing politician?

I've never killed before

We could see that!

You gotta stop

Because Killing, that's for guys with guts

No

Don't be like that

And you have no guts, Mr. Spallone

You're a nothing man!

You're out of your mind, what's the matter with you?

Get out, you, wait outside

Wait a minute

Why you miserable...I'll murder you

Stop!

I'll murder him, I'll kill him

You crazy son of a bitch!

Get, get out of the way

But what are you doing?

For God's sake, stop!

This guy's crazy... Get him off me, maniac

I'm nothing man, huh?

No, that's enough, that's enough

Leave me.. . Out, out I said

Idiot, you got me from the back, huh?

What are you doing?

Dirty, sneak up from the back

Shut up and look what you did

Mannaggia

What the fuck, you don't push a woman in that state

In that state? In what state?

In her condition, can't you see?

No, you don't say nothing

Quiet ...not a word

I want to tell him

Tell, tell me what?

What do you have to tell me?

I'm going to have a baby

A baby

Hey, don't get carried away

She says it's your baby

...but she loves mel

You understand?

She's more than a wife for me

And if anyone lays a finger on her,

he will got skinned, you got that?

Understand?

Yes

Disgusting! What are you, a faggot?

Christ sake!

She loves me, understand?

She's practically my wife

Jesus Christ, can you imagine,

I have a child

What are you doing? Vaffanculo

Nicuzzo

Somebody's coming

Mannaggia

Hurry up, get your stuff

Yeah, yeah

Move, move

Thank you, my love

you don't know what this means to me

Here, hurry up

Yes, yes

Oh, my love...A baby, my own child

Listen, you better know right now

That baby's his, not yours truly,

it belongs to him

But I don't want him to know, understand?

To him?

Him

What's he got to do with the...

Well?

What are you doing there, get in the car, they're coming

hurry up

Let's go

I don't believe it

Then don't believe it

Shhh, he's coming down

Get in, get in

I got the new passports;

I had to buy them from three emigrants

Our names are on the blacklist now

Well, then, those poor wretches

they won't be able to leave without their documents

I got wise to it all when I made my first trip...look at them

Poor, miserable people

All their lives they pay for everything with their blood

...Food, clothes, a place to sleep

and don't think it gets any better over there, in America

over there, if you're not on top

you haven't got a chance

and only if you're on top

may be you can give some poor bastard a hand

but remember, that hand has got to hold a gun in it,

if not, it's useless

in a socialist world it wouldn't be that way

Jesus, okay

then you go live in your socialist world

cause we're going to America

anyway, I gotta hurry up

I gotta get the passports stamped

don't move, wait here, I'll be right back

Wait, I don't want

Spallone, it's true, those three people

they won't leave, but you risk being shot

But I can't, I don't accept it

I don't want to buy my liberty

betraying poor emigrants

There must be another way

I'm going to stop him

Spallo, wait a minute

Spallo

Signora, you feel sick?

No, no, I feel better now

I feel better

Ah, that's good

Ah, it's no fun traveling like this

Me, too, look WV three months

I saw you before talking to your husband

Excuse me, signora, but which one is he

the guy that's got the passport, or the guy that's got no passport?

Here, this was my husband

He died three years ago

Ah

Eh, what are you gonna do?

Listen, signora, are you worried because of the baby?

Maybe I can help you

There's this Calabrian woman,

she's a midwife

She can help you get rid of the baby

No, it's not the baby I must free myself from

I must go now

Oh, God

Run, run

There are anarchists in here

And they're carrying bombs

There he is

They're carrying bombs, look out

Two men and a woman

Help me, I gotta get

There are anarchists

with bombs among you

Titian

They're hiding bombs

Hey, hey look

Pardon

Two men and a woman carrying bombs

There, look, there he is with the bandage

he's got a bomb

It's not true, no, no,

listen, it's not true

That's him, that's him

Stop him, he's got a bomb

Look out, run

No, it's not true, I have no bomb

I am a socialist

A free man

I am not a criminal

He's got a bomb

I gotta kill him

You are the assassing here

Get down

Acicatena

Get down

Can't bear the sight of a free man, huh?

Go on then

Shoot on a defenseless man. Go ahead

Goon

Murderers

I'm not afraid

Give me

Shoot

Look out, look out

Go ahead, you cowards

Amore

The child is yours

The child is yours

The child is yours

I love you, believe me

I loved you always
