You're brighter than the sun!

Fresh pizza!

A little rascal like you… I like you more and more.

- Little Rascal, these books… - There's time!

- I'll leave them. - Rosetta!

- Hi, Little Rascal. - You're not afraid of getting fat.

Pizza makes me focus.

If I'm not focused, it will be a problem for you.

- Let's go to Arduino. - OK. With our math homework!

Mimì, when are you going to let me hear another song?

- I'm working on one… - Hurry, so I'll gather my friends.

You are the most gorgeous in the world.

I have new records. Do you want to hear them?

- Try this record instead! - You're always joking.

I sing with the best orchestras.

This is old stuff, the world has changed! Rhythm!

The world has changed, but music is the same.

Good luck.

- Are you sure Arduino works? - Yes, see how many writings?

If it didn't work no one would have written..

Arduino, help me do a good job with my math test.

Let me do it…

It's a mystery why I always seem happy

since I found out I was a mess.

I changed for the better.

Now I only think about myself.

- See you in the bathroom at 11:00. - Be on time. Bye!

- Did you find the translator? - When I promise something…

- Look, that's everything. - Thank you.

The translation, irregular verbs, whatever you want.

- Fantastic, thank you, goodbye. - Wait. Where are you going?

You promised that you would go to the movies with me.

- No, my dad is picking me up. - Always the same excuse.

- Another time. - You'll never see me again!

- I don't care. Bye. - Sandra!

- Hi! What are you doing all alone? - Waiting for a girl.

Lucky you, always out and about.

- Bye! - Bye.

This is the test. You have 40 minutes.

Silence!

- Sandra! Sandra! - What do you want?

- I'm done. I'll give it to you. - I don't want it.

Sandra, now I…

I don't want it!

Professor!

Can I come closer to the board? I can't see it well.

Not even with glasses?

Silence!

Hurry up.

Give me that!

Here!

Oh, it was even wrong.

If I knew that, I would have let you copy it.

Scognamiglio, you dunce.

I'm giving you both an F.

- It was her fault! - Go to your seats.

- I only picked it up. - Go to your seats!

- Idiot! - What do you have to say?

- What did you say? - I said you did good.

I did good?

- You go sit there. - Me?

Yes, you!

Don't be nervous, miss.

Silence!

Professor!

- Professor! - What is it?

- You can't wait? - I can't.

Silence!

You are a nuisance. Go!

Hurry up!

Hey, Rosetta. Hurry up, the professor is angry today.

- I don't understand anything. - You are my only hope!

He moved me far! Come on, my dear.

Come on! What are you saying?

Let's go, there's too many people here.

What can we do?

- The key! I can't find the key. - Find it.

I did something wrong.

- It's useless. - Let me?

- Who is that? - Who cares? It's better like that!

- Bye, I'm going back to class. - Bye.

Thank you!

Arduino, you really saved me!

Hurry up! I have to get back to class.

- Do it yourself. - No! Be good.

Write clear, or I won't be able to understand anything.

- Here. - Thank you.

- Can I trust you? - Yes, it wasn't hard.

- Who is Arduino? - I'll tell you another time! Thanks.

Slowly, slowly! Don't rush. Hurrying is bad for the heart.

Professor!

- Do you remember me? - Yes. Prisco Luciano.

- 12th grade, section C. - Yes.

- He was good in math! - Thank God!

Lucky him!

- Why are you here? - I'm here to get a certificate.

I hope they hire me at the plant, I'll graduate soon.

- Engineering? - Yes.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Goodbye, professor.

- Did you do the test? - Yes, I only have to copy it.

Eat, they are still hot!

Come on, take them!

Eat.

It's lunch for the poor.

It's a snack for the rich.

Like a simple riddle, just the smell will tell you.

It's red just like a girl's mouth.

It's pizza with tomatoes!

Pizza with tomatoes is like a work of art,

and with oil and garlic painted on it.

Eaten with some fried fish.

Let's go eat.

Hey, girl, pizza is Naples.

Hey, girl, pizza is Naples!

It's Naples!

Pizza with tomatoes is the best cure.

It's our emblem.

It's a national treasure!

It's so good!

Let's go eat!

Hey, girl, pizza is Naples!

Hey, girl!

Pizza

was born here!

Professor, coming right up!

Here, hot out of the oven.

Mimì, what did you do? Look at the oil!

You can tell it's been wrapped up.

Even if, what's the problem.

- Pizza is not a crime! - The respectability of the teachers!

I can't in front of the students. Understand?

Give it to me, it doesn't matter. Add it to my tab.

- Worry about your health, professor. - Thank you.

- Good morning, professor. - Good morning!

Good morning.

- Always working, Mimì! - Right.

We did the closet, garage and parking lot!

- Did you get the certificate? - Next week.

- I've been waiting a month. - Did you get the license?

- Sandra! - What do you want?

- I want to be forgiven. - We forgave you.

- I'll pay for the pizza. - Tomorrow.

- Yes, you can pay tomorrow. - Bye, Thank you.

Boring!

- Two special pizzas. - Two pizzas.

Mimì, two pizzas!

- It's the guy from the test. - It's him?

- Watch what you're looking at! - You made a big mess.

- Do you know him? - Of course! I have to thank him.

- Thank you! - For what?

What did he do? If he offended you, I'll take care of it!

- Mimì, the pizzas? - They are coming.

- Guess what year we are in. - No. How could I know?

- From the 10th grade. - They gave us stuff from the 11th!

- What did you get? - B.

- Really? - Big load of exercises as punishment.

I want to know who's doing the homework!

- Let's see the problems. - You'll use university level math!

We already don't understand high school math!

- These ones? - Yes.

How can we do them? They're for tomorrow..

There's always Arduino. Who is Arduino?

- Someone who works miracles. - Well let's go to the club then!

- I'll take them there. What club? - Canottieri Napoli.

- We always go there. - Good. Have fun!

If you can't do it we can find somebody else.

What are you saying? He's so nice!

- 5:00 is good? - Yes, thank you.

- See you later. - See you later.

- Here are the pizzas. - Thank you!

- Excuse me, Mrs. De Luca? - She's always around and about!

It's you! You kept your word.

- And your friend? - She went out on a boat.

She won't be long.

- Let's go for a swim. - No, thank you.

- Maybe you can't swim. - I do, but…

- You can't swim! Bye. - See you later.

- Go, Sandra. Jump! - It was fun water skiing!

- He arrived already! - Who?

Come here, Nicola. You're here already!

- How good! He's Luciano… - Luciano Prisco.

Baron Nicola Sant'Elmo, nice to meet you.

- Honey, go change. You are all wet! - Ok! Yes. One moment.

- Yes. - Have we already met before?

No.

Didn't we jam together with Fefè? Don't you play the trumpet?

No. I honk the horn on my scooter, but it's broken!

What a funny guy! Fefè, hear how funny. Fefè!

- Who is he? - Another one of Sandra's.

- Not bad! - He's just another dreamer.

- Hi, Tonia. - Hi.

I'll go take a shower. Sandra will be here soon.

I'll be quick. Here is that guy.

- Luciano! - Are you ready?

Are you tired of waiting for me?

No, I had fun watching.

- Hi, Sandrina. - Hi! Hey.

- Have you ever been here? - No, it's my first time.

- Omelette? - Coming right up!

You hear how they are so informal here? It's so relaxing.

- I brought the exercises. - There is still time!

- In the meantime I'll have a look. - How nice!

Did you do them all?

Gennarino, make me a fruit cup

with lots of bananas, cream and some strawberries.

I brought you the omelette only because I know you from birth,

but your father told me to not even give you water.

So he wants me to starve?

In the last month, you guys ate over 34.750 lira worth of ice cream,

pasta, smoothies and sweets.

I don't even eat omelettes!

Let's go to Dad, he'll regret this. Can you come with me?

- Why should I? - Come, it'll be fun.

- Dad, don't make a fool out of me! - Sandra!

Now let me go.

- Wasn't he supposed to regret it? - His tie is undone!

- What does that mean? - He's losing.

- What does your dad do? - Business.

- Business man? - I don't know.

It's a long time that his tie is undone!

Take the homework, I have to go.

- Sandra! - Excuse me, my mom is here.

- What's wrong, Mom? - Don't go near your father.

- He's upset! - I know.

Did you tell him about that dress?

No, he wants to cut us off.

I always catch Dad at a bad time!

You're still here! Have you seen Sandra?

- Yes, she's over there. - Want to dance?

- I'm not very good. - You don't know how to?

- A little bit. - You don't know how to dance!

- What do you do for fun? - Math problems with me.

You can't dance.

- Do you know how to dance? - I'll try.

- You know how to dance? - Pretty much.

- Want to dance? - Sure, thanks.

- That guy from the boat… - Nicola? He's nice, isn't he?

Yes, a lot.

- Are you good friends? - Of course! We will get married.

We got engaged when we were newborns, like they do for royalty.

- Does he really like you? - Not even in my dreams!

Nicola is never serious about anything.

You do know how to dance!

He lied.

- You? - What?

You don't love him?

I've never been in love. I'm fine as is!

A girl like you doesn't have someone?

Come on! Don't you listen? No!

Sandra, aren't you going home? Hurry up, it's late!

I'll go get the car, I'll wait for you.

Ok, I'm coming!

The problem had two solutions. I did them both.

They were waiting for me to get them!

Nicola, I have a math teacher.

Really? She'll make you run out of patience!

- How can you do? - I'm used to it.

- I'll get used to it too. - See you later.

- Bye! - See you later.

- Greetings, don Peppino. - Why are you here again?

- It tricked me again! - Take it to Cape Posillipo.

- What's there? - The sea.

Throw it in the sea and we'll be done suffering.

How much to fix it?

For you, 10.000 lira.

All right, but I'll pay in instalments.

- As long as you pay before you die! - Let's hope!

See you later.

Good morning.

- You want a ride? - Yes.

You don't like my car?

- I'm going close to here. - Get in.

Thank you.

- It'll keep your hair in place. - No, thank you.

Come on!

It looks great on you. I'm Brigitte Clermont.

- I'm Luciano Prisco. - Are you from Naples?

- Yes, from Naples. - Finally a Neapolitan!

I love Naples.

Lemon water. Who wants some?

Can I suggest something? Lukewarm water and lemon.

- Lemonade? - Yes.

- With baking soda? - A little bit.

- It takes out the bitterness. - I really like you Neapolitans.

You are so refined, even in the smallest and simplest things.

Also in love? If it's simple!

- What do you think? - I wouldn't know.

You are a good boy. Student?

- Yes, engineering. - Really?

I design fashion, it's easier.

- You earn much more. - This is a gift.

- Of this one? - No, someone else's.

We are a group of friends.

After Naples, we are going to Florence.

- How much does it cost? - 100 lira.

Thank you.

Come and see!

Donna Carmela, your son is here with a princess!

Donna Carmela, go to the window and look.

Where is he? Shameless!

Virgin Mary, help us. He got crazy!

With a singer!

Nunziatina, come out.

Come and see how passion breaks a man down.

What a horrible thing! Look, Satan at work.

You asked me to take you home and I did.

- Thank you. - It's very picturesque here.

There is so much real.

I like it a lot.

He's upset.

Richness is blinding him, but something burns: Remorse.

Nunziatina, dry yourself.

I don't know how to thank you. Goodbye.

- Keep it, it's yours. - Thank you. Goodbye!

You should come find me.

- You promised me to be my guide. - Of course!

We will go to Florence for about 10 days.

When we come back you can call me at the hotel. Promise?

I promise. Goodbye!

Go! Out of my way!

Where are you? You have no shame… with a singer!

Nunziatina, don't be scared. These guys are young bucks.

They date dancers, then they marry good girls like you.

Go easy on the perfume!

Savage Passion is very expensive!

She's not a singer!

When you see a low neckline, you say that she's a singer!

- Who's she? - I don't know. I don't know her.

- I told you how it happened. - Really?

You were at work all day, right?

Yes, they made me wait. Let's hope the boss will remember.

Let's hope St. Gennaro will remember! He should help you.

I already asked him.

St. Gennaro, I'm left without a husband.

How much can I earn selling fake flowers?

You are the boss of this house!

It's all your responsibility. I don't care!

Luciano, my boy, put your shirt back on.

Go to the lady next door and ask her to borrow a bottle of wine.

You take our neighbor for a store!

Matches, envelopes, bottles of wine!

I don't want to bother her!

You don't bother her! She idolizes you!

And let's not talk about Nunziatina.

It's because of her that I don't want to go.

What did she do to you? Since your father died

Mrs. Capuana has been like a general store for us.

Now that we can do a little something for her, you say no!

Mom, I wouldn't say marrying Nunziatina is a little something.

Luciano, telephone.

- Excuse me and thank you. - Have a seat, miss!

Sit down. We were just talking about you.

- Who was it? - It was a girl.

My smell never fails. Female.

Mrs, shut up.

- Hello? - Luciano?

- Yes, it's me. - You took so long! Were you outside?

I don't have a telephone, I gave you the number to my neighbor.

- I called to thank you. - That's kind of you!

- I wanted to apologize. - Don't worry.

- I usually go home with Nicola. - I understand.

- I couldn't… - Of course!

- Next time you can take me home. - Next time.

In the fourth problem how did you find the x?

- What formula did you use? - The one without the square root.

Read the expression.

- 2 minus… - Wait a minute.

- 6 X 2… - 2 minus 25 X.

- Minus 25 X. - Plus 24 equals zero.

Plus 24 equals zero.

- How did I do it? - There's only one X!

It's the same thing, just carry the X.

- That's right! Sorry. - No worries.

- When will we see each other? - Whenever you want.

- You can come to my house. - Thank you.

- Sorry. - No worries!

- Bye. - Good evening.

- Good evening. - Enjoy your dinner!

- Ok… Goodnight! - Goodnight.

This is evilness.

We need my husband's guidance here.

- What a genius! - What are those crosses for?

Calm down, I'm here for the investigation.

There's something wrong here.

- It isn't over. - Good Lord!

I can't come, I didn't finish my homework.

I know nothing about Latin and I have missed 7 Greek lessons.

What should I do? I never do my homework!

- It's 8:35! - I've got to go!

- Bye. - Aren't you coming?

- I can't. - You're not coming?

- I won't. - Do you want me to stay with you?

Go to school or you'll get another F!

Miss!

- What's wrong? - I thought you were the principal.

- Aren't you going to school? - I don't want to.

- What are you doing here? - I got my diploma.

My Italian teacher!

- Did she see me? - Impossible.

- She was looking the other way. - Are you sure?

Excuse me.

I'll go to the movies, so no one will see me.

- To the movies in the morning? - Of course!

- You've never gone? - I always went to school.

- Do you go there often? - Yes.

- Let's go. - Where?

To the movie theater!

Here.

Let's be less formal.

You were gone for so long, I thought I'd never see you again.

Now that we are less formal,

- can I tell you something? - What?

I was hoping to see you.

That's why I came to school.

I want to be sincere too.

I never went to the movies in the morning.

You tell lies!

I can't live without you.

What an exaggeration!

What a kiss!

- Why are you laughing? - It's funny.

My love!

I fought against myself

but I can't fight this feeling anymore.

- I'm yours forever. - Now I have to go.

If I don't come back, don't forget me too fast.

What are you doing?

Why haven't you called me?

Why? Why? I don't like those who ask why!

Here you are. I'll give you the rest home.

- Who are you? - I'm her father!

- Instead of going to school! - This is a public place!

- Move, or you'll get it as well! - I'll call the police!

Let's do it!

Let's go!

What silence here, a step from the city!

Think how much movement there is in those factories

at this moment.

- Let's go. - Why?

No one knows us here.

- You don't like music? - Yes, I like it but…

Just a moment. Sit.

Let's smoke. Do you have a match?

- No, I'll go light the cigarette. - Yes.

Thank you.

I'd like to kiss you.

"I'd like to kiss you."

I'd like to kiss you.

- I'd like to kiss you. - Here? Are you crazy?

My heart doesn't tell me

to wake you up,

to wake you up!

I'd like to fall asleep.

I'd like to fall asleep

close to your breath.

For an hour or two.

For an hour or two.

If you like music so much, come to my place tomorrow.

I'm throwing a party. Mimì is coming too.

- Mimì is coming? - Yes, I have invited him.

He made a song for me. Are you coming?

- Mimì is in love with you? - Don't say stupid things!

I say too many! Since I met you…

To your good heart. Thank you.

Leave it!

Thank you.

Good luck to you. Can I sing something for you?

- Yes, sing this song again. - So you'll get another kiss…

It's midday!

- Excuse me. Let's go! - Sorry.

The lady in the apartment next to mine

used to give me this and that.

She was a real blessing.

We just needed to ring the bell

and this lady would give us this and that.

We needed a thimble, a colander,

iron, salt and pepper, card and envelope.

- Careful. - If you needed an airplane,

a camel or a Chinese man, Miss Capuana would find it all.

I think that if someone dies,

she even has the coffin and the garland!

- Two garlands! - Miss, you're so nice!

- Here comes the perfume. - Eau de toilette.

Savage Passion.

Don't use it all, I bought it just 6 months ago.

- Don't be afraid. - To go to the christening

- do you wear cologne? - Who's being baptized?

A schoolmate.

So old and still didn't get baptized?

Miss! A favor.

Can you find a pair of black shoes for Luciano?

No! The shoes of my late husband are sacred to me.

There's a man on the last floor who wears black.

Luciano, this lady is a real blessing for the family.

Careful with Nunziatina,

she is the other part of the story.

This lady had a daughter

who was as ugly as can be.

Together with a needle and a pill, she tried to give me her daughter.

What did I do, then?

This is a story I can't tell.

I learnt to be a pilot, I tried to leave the country,

I even lighted candles to Saint Gennaro!

I went down the ocean and rode a motorboat.

I tried to get the typhus fever eating raw seafood.

If you want to start a family, you know what's safe to do?

Never marry the daughter of the lady next to you.

Of the lady next to you.

- Of the lady next to you! - He'll wear them yellow!

Not even widowers wear black shoes anymore.

To have these I left a poor guy shoeless!

Not bad!

Luciano, you can't come with those yellow shoes.

Black. Ultra black. Black as coal. And shiny.

Hurry! We are waiting for you.

- Hi, guys. - Hi, Little Rascal.

Good job. You brought the guitar.

What are you doing here? Go to bed now!

Oh, come on. Say goodbye and go to bed.

- Goodbye. - Bye!

- Bye. - Let's go, guys.

Stop, everyone! The Maestro arrived.

Mimì, we want to hear Io mammeta and tu.

- A pizza ca pummarola. - Right now?

Now make a calypso.

And maybe also a pizza!

- A calypso. Do you like it? - Yes.

- All right. - We always do what you want!

- You want to dance with me! - Me? Not at all!

Don't fight!

Let's start with A pizza ca pummarola.

Guys, don't be too stiff. Move only your hips.

- Don't be stiff! - Go!

Mimì, a little bit louder!

- What a nice couple! - Are you jealous?

Of that big nose?

- Shall we dance? - Don't you see I'm talking?

You'll regret it!

He's so rude.

- I don't remember your name. - Guess.

Fabrizio? Marcello?

- You like Sandra, right? - Why?

Everybody likes her but there's nothing to do.

I'm a sentimental girl.

- I fall in love right away. - Do you mind? Come, Luciano.

- Sandra! - Come.

- I wanted to be alone with you. - And now you are.

- I was a fool to come here. - Why?

I can't see you here with all those people.

They are friends of mine, like you. Why does it bother you?

It doesn't, but you shouldn't be so friendly.

I do nothing wrong. What do you want?

- Are you my preacher? - They'll think bad about you.

- What do you care? - I do care.

- Such a pretty girl like you… - Listen!

I can't stand preaching not even from my dad.

- What do you want from me? - Sandra, there's a surprise.

Leave math alone!

- Sing it anyway! - Wait.

This song isn't finished because I don't know how the story ends.

But the character exists.

You all know it because it has made your head spin.

- Yes, right. - But she just doesn't care!

- You don't know her, right? - It's Little Rascal!

Little Rascal! Go sit down.

Listen.

Little Rascal, you drive me nuts! That's too bad!

With the books under your arm and a shirt with little blue flowers,

you impress everybody in front of the school with your manners.

You take a cigarette when you go buy them for your father.

You wear lipstick just like your mother.

Little Rascal!

You're such a stinker and I like you very much.

I come all the way to your school to tell you such.

And you answer me: "Why should I listen to you?"

"Love can wait, it can't go through!"

Little Rascal, you're like a spring day.

I see you every morning when you watch yourself on the way.

Just a compliment and you blush.

Little Rascal, you'll make me go mad.

You laugh so I understand that you don't think about me.

Little Rascal, you'll make me go mad.

You laugh so I understand that you don't think about me.

- Thank you. - I'll sing the end of the song

once I get to know how this story ends.

Little Rascal, I like you very much.

Since you kissed me that day in front of the school.

You're so silly!

Funny, right?

- Good evening, guys! - Good evening, mom.

- Where are you going? - To the Opera house.

- Don't stay too late. - Mom!

He's Luciano Prisco, the guy who helps me with math.

You're nice, but you should teach her to do the exercises on her own.

You come at this hour? What happened?

Tonight the big fish are meeting.

They are looking for a scapegoat.

I know, they are capable of anything.

You go. If I'm needed just call me.

What happened? Why that face?

- Why won't you tell me? - It's nothing! Just business.

- It's time to go. - Let's go.

You are a fake.

She wasn't even born and already knew more than all of us.

- If you say so! - Don't make me speak.

- And you of all people! - Wait.

- Let's see how far will he go. - Wherever you didn't.

You still don't understand? So let me tell you then.

She would do anything for a cigarette or her homework…

- You're a coward! - There are many like her.

- Just take her to the movies. - Did you take her?

I'm waiting for your permission!

Luciano, are you crazy?

- Get up. Did he hurt you? - No.

What?!

What happened?

- Luciano! - I'm sorry.

- Why? What happened? - Nothing. Child's play.

- Can you explain it to me? - Fernando…

Luciano!

Wait for me!

See you tomorrow.

You're making me walk?

Luciano! Wait!

Mom, yes!

- Did you find a job? - No, better!

The monk's flowers!

- Mom! - Don't move!

- Good evening. How are you? - One moment. Alarm!

- You hurt your mouth. - Let me see.

- No, Mom! - You fell off your scooter!

- Mom, I'm still good looking. - Luciano, come here.

Come here, let me disinfect it!

Mrs, he's crazy.

Fight, bruises, cut on upper lip,

and a bite from a jealous girl.

- What do you think? - Devil's work.

A bite from the stranger. I'll investigate.

My late husband, come down to help me.

St. Gennaro, I'll tell you for the last time.

This story has to end. Now is the time! You understand?

- D. - B.

- D. - B.

- D. - All B.

- Don't read them out loud! - Why? I got all B!

I'm the victim of stubborn bad luck.

Patience, I'll repeat it another time.

- Here's Sandra. - Sandra?

- Hi, how did it go? - Not bad.

- You only failed math. - Not bad!

- Excuse me, the engineering exam? - First floor.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Are you enrolled? - We are talking to you, beautiful!

- I can't go in? - No, we rule here.

- Stop! - Show us your ID.

Leave her alone!

- I know her. - Good. Introduce us.

- Go away! - Are you afraid we'd ruin her?

- Yes. So? - Come here, Luciano.

- Forget about it! - Yes, let's forget it.

- Don't tease them. - They were bothering me.

Don't argue with them otherwise it will get worse.

- I won't do it again. How did it go? - Good.

I hope they give me a job at the plant after I graduate. And you?

- I failed just one class. - Which one? It's important?

No, math. They did it on purpose so you could tutor me.

- You're going to the mountains! - Yes, but only for a bit.

My professor is very demanding!

- Now what are you doing? Going home? - Home? No way!

- We have to celebrate my failure. - Good. Get on.

- Look. It's like Dante's Inferno. - It's hot!

- It's boiling! - Should we throw in spaghetti?

I wish! I'm hungry.

Pay attention, please.

Look there, it's bubbling!

It's the volcanic nature of this area.

The temperature can rise up to…

- Having fun? - Yes, it's very interesting.

Ok, but it's always the same thing.

- Sandra! - Where are you going?

Let me show you something. Another Arduino miracle. Sit there.

- It's hot! - One moment.

You want to set a volcano on fire?

- Can you see me? - Yes, I see you.

Now can you see me? In a second you won't be able to!

Come on! Silly.

You see me? From here you can't see anything.

Now I can't see you! Luciano!

- Luciano, what are you doing here? - Good morning, miss.

- You are back from Florence? - I waited for your phone call.

I called you. They didn't tell you?

Really? We went to Florence. It's amazing!

Now we are off to Capri. Why don't you come visit me there?

Tomorrow I start at the plant.

- You can come Sunday! - Thank you. If I can…

I'll call you when I get back.

- Luciano! - Coming.

- Brigitte! - Sorry

- It's my classmate. - I must go, they are waiting for me.

Goodbye.

- Who is she? - A girl.

- I thought she was a bus! - She's French.

- She's beautiful. - Yes. Not bad.

She's beautiful and elegant.

- I didn't notice it. - Because you like her.

You didn't see how she was dressed!

- I only notice how you are dressed. - I don't like you anymore.

Come here!

I'm going to get you!

I start working there tomorrow.

- What will you do? - I'll be the boss.

Thousands of workers waiting for my orders.

- Really? - I wish!

I check the payroll.

I'm less than a scribe.

- You have to do it. - You will be the boss.

I'll come to the plant and ask "Is mister engineer in?"

Everybody will bow to me.

Why? Who will you be?

You know.

- What is that woman to you? - What woman?

- The French girl. - Nothing!

- I swear. - Don't swear, I believe you.

I swear because it's the truth.

Do you love me?

You remember?

- Want to go eat something? - Alone?

- Yes. - Let's go.

Good evening.

- What's there to eat? - The grill is off.

- Some mozzarella and salad. - Ok, sounds good.

- And some wine. - Ok.

I've never eaten in a place like this.

- It's not very elegant. - What do you care?

We have it all to ourselves!

It's like being at home.

- Did you get my note? - Yes.

- Do you always keep it with you? - I keep them all.

You wrote more beautiful things than what you say.

Here you go! Good health.

If you need something just ask me.

- Oil. - What's wrong?

- It needs oil. Waiter! - He's sleeping.

I'll get it, it amuses me.

- How much? - A lot.

More.

More, I like oil.

Don't be afraid, this is our house.

You are my wife.

Close your eyes.

Do you remember our song?

My love…

- Luciano, I'm afraid! - Of what?

Of being too happy.

This scoundrel, after all that I did for him,

should have helped me.

When the ship sinks, the mice jump!

For now I'm taking my family to the mountains.

You stay here.

If the situation gets worse call me right away.

- I'll come myself. - Why? Can they arrest me?

- Be clear! - For the time being no.

But from those people you can expect anything.

- When are you leaving? - Tomorrow. I'll tell my wife now.

- Where can we meet tomorrow? - Wherever you want.

- No, tomorrow I have to work! - I'll come and get you.

Its too far, plus I don't know how late I'll be!

- I really would have liked to. - Me too.

- Good evening, miss. - Good evening, sir.

It's the lawyer. Dad should be home by now. I'm leaving!

- Hello. - I'll call you. Think of me at 10:00.

Ok, at exactly 10:00.

- Good evening, miss. - Good evening.

Sandra, why are you so late? Your dad is upset.

- Why? - Go to your room.

Sandra! Is this the time to come home?

- Who were you with? - No one.

What is this?

- Nothing. - Good girl.

We're starting early!

Fortunately, we're leaving tomorrow and this story will end right away.

Now that you are not here everything is boring and different,

even things that usually are fun.

It feels like the days never pass.

I count the hours until the mail arrives

always hoping your letter comes.

Hi, Sandra.

- Want to play a game? - A game?

- I don't want to, I'm tired.. - You don't do anything all day!

- I do a lot. Go for a walk… - Alone, how fun!

- I read. - What do you read?

A novel. I read it in two days.

I get a headache reading.

- I'm bored. I don't know what to do. - You have lots of friends!

You have a car.

I have an idea, let's have a car race.

I know a nice restaurant. Want to go?

- No! I don't feel like it. - Why not?

Who's leaving?

- Your father. - My father?

My wife doesn't realize the situation.

In one hour I should be safe, if they don't stop me at the border.

- No, there's time. - Save the little that's left.

- Don't worry. - Goodbye.

- Thanks for everything. - Goodbye.

Dad!

- What are you doing? Leaving? - I have to leave.

Urgent business. Bye.

You don't kiss me goodbye?

Do you still love me even if I haven't been there for you much?

Even if they'll say that your father…

What are you saying? What's happening?

- Mom! - No, Sandra. It's useless.

Always stay close to her and Tonino.

We'll see each other soon.

I'm counting on you, you are a big girl now.

You are a woman.

If business goes bad, don't worry. I won't be the end of the world!

I convinced him to come to relax, but now he's leaving.

- You couldn't take care of it? - No. Unfortunately not.

- Mom! - Dad left.

- I know. Why did he go? - I don't know.

Always mysteries, intrigues, lies.

Your husband didn't want to scare you.

- What are you saying? - The truth, unfortunately.

If he stayed, they would have arrested him.

- Mom! - Arrested?

I tried to stop it but, there's a warrant for his arrest.

Mom!

How's that possible?

- Mom! - I can't believe it.

I got my first paycheck, so I want to go visit her.

What did your mother say?

I shouldn't go uninvited?

No, women are sentimental.

- They love surprises. - Yes.

Good! You've become an important person.

- Traveling for work! - He's going for a week to Adige.

Alto Adige!

She is giving you some soap and a soap dish.

- How nice! - How elegant! Thank you.

- These are so you can write. - They're postcards from Naples!

Aren't you Neapolitan? From Alto Adige to Naples,

it's always nice to write some greetings.

- Yes. - You are so handsome!

- Miss. - Yes, sir.

There are two woman here who want to buy the villa.

- They would like to see it. - Right now!

It would be a big problem considering the state that Mom is in.

Yes, I understand, miss.

In these times, it's hard to find any buyers.

Miss, we need cash, we have a lot of things to take care of.

The villa is Mom's..

That's why they didn't take it.

- It's our refuge. - I know.

It's the only thing we have left.

With a bit of cash we can solve a lot of problems.

Hi.

I came to wish you happy birthday.

Only you remembered.

- Everything they say is true. - Don't worry, Sandra.

It happens!

My ancestors at the battle of Pavia stole money from the regiment.

- My father isn't a thief. - That's the problem!

Otherwise he'd be a baron now like my ancestor.

Don't joke about it, Nicola.

Don't you understand? They will sell everything, even the villa.

Since I remember, we came here every summer.

Sandra, I know how you feel.

You know that I have always been close to you, more than a friend.

I know. Thank you.

Well… I…

Sandra, I have a solution.

Let's get married, that way you can keep the villa.

- I never told you, but… - But why?

Who knows who my family will make me marry!

This way nothing changes.

Your parents can stay with us and everything stays the same.

Nicola, you know…

I don't love you.

- I… - I know.

It's up to you to have a serene life.

You want me to talk to your mom? My parents would be so happy.

I don't love you.

I know, but you care for me, no?

Miss!

- There's a phone call for you. - Ok, I'm coming.

Should I wait for you?

I have to think about it.

Thank you.

Hello?

It's you?

- Where are you? - I'm at the chalet.

I just arrived, I came to wish you happy birthday.

You there? What's wrong?

I want to see you right away.

Here? Ok, as you like.

Ok.

- I'll wait for you. - Ok. Wait for me.

Sandra! My love, happy birthday!

- I wanted to bring you a lot. - Luciano, thank you.

Why did you come? I wasn't waiting for you.

- Let's sit down. - Not here.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

Why didn't you write? Why didn't you tell me you would come?

I wanted to surprise you.

I can stay for three days, I have so many things to tell you.

What a trip! I've never been south of Florence.

How come you never wrote me again?

- Because… - Don't worry.

I was sad, but now we are talking and I see you, I'm happy.

Luciano, please, stop!

You say a lot of things, but you don't know me.

You just met me.

What if I was different?

You are so adorable.

I should tell you what I would have written to you.

But now I'm afraid.

- Nicola was here. - I know, you wrote me.

Ok, but…

- Nicola asked me to marry him. - Did you tell him that we…

I thought I didn't care about him.

- Instead, this summer… - Sandra, what are you saying?

- I love you, you know. - You are so sweet.

Me though… Everyone says, that I'm a little rascal.

- I don't feel like getting married. - Are you serious?

- Tell me. - Yes, Luciano.

I decided. There's nothing else to do.

You know what I say? I'm an idiot.

I didn't understand you, Fernando was right.

He was right, he knows you well.

- You are unfair and mean. - The truth hurts.

What truth?

Sorry, but I can't pretend.

I love you. I love you so much that I would do anything for you.

I would even give you the moon if you asked!

Can you forgive me? You don't want to kiss me?

- One last. - I don't need to be consoled.

I don't want to kiss another man's girl!

My little girl, what's wrong?

Nothing. Don't worry, Mom.

Instead, I have some good news.

- Nicola asked me to marry him. - Marry him?

- You're crying! - No. It's the excitement.

See? I'm not crying.

Did you already decide?

Yes.

This thing is serious.

Don't say anything.

Let's see what he'll say.

Here he comes.

It's you, Luciano! Welcome back.

Hi, Mom.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Where were you? - You know.

Did you have fun? Was the weather nice in Capri?

- What can I say? I don't know! - Poor boy, what does he know!

What is that?

"Capri is a 'dram'." She can't even write!

- She is a foreigner. - "I'll wait for you, Brigitte".

Brigitte? Brigida!

Good job, Miss Brigida!

Vacation in Capri. We are millionaires, we are rich.

I don't care about her. I swear!

That's enough!

- Lady Carmela… - Jesus!

- This is a miracle. - It's true.

It's a miracle!

The prodigal son has returned.

- It's true! - He's returned home!

Eternal thanks to St. Gennaro.

Miss, I really like you.

- Can I borrow two candles? - Sure, I'll go get them.

Thank you.

Saint Gennaro, you saved him from ruin.

You were great, thank you.

Luciano, phone call.

- Telephone, Luciano. - Who is it?

- Who is it? - You should know!

- Who is it? - A woman.

- No! - A woman.

Hello? Who's speaking?

- Oh! It's you! - Why didn't you come?

Fortunately, now I found you.

Here, at the club! Come.

The sea is so beautiful!

I'll wait for you.

Mom, a shirt, please. And iron my pants.

- Some hot water to shave. - Is he going to shave?

- Do you still have that perfume… - Savage Passion.

- Can I have it? - Why not!

Thank you.

Did you hear?

"Iron my pants, give me the shirt."

He wants Savage Passion and water to shave.

Carmela, be brave.

If the donkey doesn't want hay, we are doomed!

What a nice perfume!

Good day, miss. Have a seat. Pizza with tomatoes.

- Is this a traditional restaurant? - They make the best pizza in Naples.

- Luciano! - Now do you believe?

No, everyone in the dining room, there's more space!

- I want the best pizza in the world. - Ok. I'll take care of you.

Why did you bring her here? Sandra is back!

I don't care. In fact, I go wherever she goes.

- I want everyone to see. - You are crazy.

Honey, come here!

Here we go. Monday we have exams at school.

I'm still in 10th grade.

You see how time flies?

Don't think about it.

- How beautiful! - Here's the pizza!

I've never seen pizza so wonderful.

It smells so good!

Two pizzas, please.

- Hi, Mimì. - Sandra!

- What are you doing here? - I came to see you.

Give us some pizza, after my exams I'll pay you.

- You're buying again! - No, now.

- Let's get a beer. - No! You're crazy?

- It's prohibited? - You're better here.

- I can take you company. - How cool… I'm going to faint!

Sit here.

When are your exams?

- Is it true you are getting married? - Cheers!

I see that you're busy, so I'll perform instead of you.

I have to put up a sign:

"Off limits to buskers."

- Aurelio, please go away. - Envy makes your skin yellow.

Whoever doesn't like me is not worthy to know me.

- Beautiful girl, you're here! - Do you know him?

I owe you a song.

You can't deny me that, you always have to pay a musical debt.

I know, I tried to convince him to go with me.

- But he doesn't want to. - How can I go with you?

You're missing your chance.

Brigitte can help you with her job.

- He can't wait to get rid of me! - That's not true!

I would like to go with you, but… I'll think about it.

I know this song!

So beautiful!

I'd like to kiss you

but my heart doesn't tell me

to wake you up, to wake you up!

I'd like to fall asleep.

I'd like to fall asleep

close to your breath.

For an hour or two.

For an hour

or two.

I'd like to kiss you.

I'd like to kiss you.

I know, you are always thinking of him.

- What happened? - Nothing. Nothing happened.

- Why did she leave? - See how you are?

- Sandra! - Nicola, you're here.

I came to take you to aunt Elisabetta's.

It's true, aunt Elisabetta.

Sandra, go change. It's late.

Sandra, what's wrong? Are you sick?

Yes. I have a headache.

- If I really have to go… - No, not if you're sick,

I can go alone. I'll explain everything.

Sorry, but it will be embarrassing for you.

In fact… you know what to do? Go to bed.

See you tomorrow. Bye!

Miss, good evening. I'm going. It's late.

- I'll see you out. - Thank you.

- I'm sorry, Nicola. Excuse me. - No worries.

- Bye. - Bye.

You could have said something.

Poor boy, Nicola! He left all sad.

That's how I am, you know that and so does he.

- I was very clear with him. - Sandra! Come here.

Look me in the eyes.

You love someone else, right?

You still love Nicola?

Yes.

I like him.

I asked if you love him.

Sandra, answer me.

- Do you love Nicola? - I'm marrying him!

What more do you want?

No more tears, no more worries.

You will be with me and I will buy you clothes and a car.

You, Dad and Tonino.

I want you all to be happy.

Are you happy? That's what counts!

- Mom! - My little girl.

You thought of everyone but yourself.

You thought that I would accept this?

Listen. I'll speak to Nicola.

If I don't marry him, how can we live?

You don't trust me, right?

Of course, you've always seen me at parties and having fun.

You don't think I can have a job.

But I will and you will see that I'll make it.

And when the man of your dreams comes…

- Mom! - Don't worry.

- I'll talk to Nicola. - No. Don't worry, I will.

I decided, I'll tell him everything.

- To Nicola? - Yes.

I thought a lot about it these days.

I can't.

- What will you tell him? - I don't know… I'll see.

You are very brave.

I'll run away, he's coming!

- Hi. - Hi.

Sandra! What are you doing here?

You still haven't changed? Aren't we going swimming?

- Nicola, sit down. - Sandra, it's late!

- Put on your bathing suit. - Nicola, please, sit down.

Look at the sea. Come!

Luciano is here.

Come on!

I had so much fun!

- Luciano, what are you doing here? - Hi, Nicola.

I'll introduce myself. Baron Nicola Sant'Elmo.

- You've already introduced yourself? - Yes, I just did.

- Shall we go? - Please.

Sandra is here as well.

- Hi, Sandra. - Hi.

- Do you know Sandra? - Nice to meet you!

We haven't seen you in a long time. Did you hear the news?

You're looking at a happy couple! They're getting married.

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

- You live in Paris? - Yes. You've ever been there?

- Yes, many times. - Really?

- Are you happy? - Yes. You?

Me too.

She's nice, your… Brigitte, right?

- And very beautiful. - Yes, she's my type.

Sincere, simple.

There are many stereotypes about foreigners, but they're wrong.

They are loyal, intelligent.

- Dudy! - We were talking bad about you!

Thank you! But don't exaggerate.

- Want to go get a drink? - Yes, I'll buy!

- My dad will pay! - Thank you.

Luciano, I hope you understand and you forgive me.

Yes.

It was like a dream, a mirage.

Brigitte saved me, she is so sweet and understanding.

That makes me happy.

It's always like that. Life seems to end and then

there is always a rebound.

- When are you getting married? - Soon, very soon.

- I'm quitting school. - Sandra! Aren't you coming?

It didn't take us long.

In no time we transformed this room into a laboratory.

- Now we need customers. - Don't worry.

With all the friends you have you will always have customers!

- Mom! - Sandra, I have wonderful news.

Dad will come back. The warrant was revoked!

They found out he didn't do anything wrong.

We won't be well off like before, we'll all have to work.

Maybe a modest life is what we all need.

Excuse me, miss, I don't know…

Didn't we agree that you would all stay with us?

Sandra! But…

It's useless, it's all useless!

- What happened? - Nothing.

Leave me alone! I want to be alone.

What's wrong?

Sandra didn't tell you?

I don't understand the problem, I cleared it up with Nicola.

It's over!

- You ripped it! - I ruined everything!

I knew it, but Sandra told me that she'd talk to you.

Yes, she told me that she didn't love me, but…

Come on, don't think about it anymore.

Let's go.

Sometimes we have a flower right under our nose and we don't see it.

Dear mom, I found a good job outside of Italy.

I'm sorry if I hurt you, but I must go.

I'll write to you soon. Yours, Luciano.

Mimì, help me. Give me some money. I'll leave you this.

- As soon as I can I'll pay you back. - No, Luciano. I won't help you.

I'm sorry, but it's for your own good.

- What a friend! - Exactly for this.

- Can I have a pizza? - I'm coming.

I'll pay you if you get me a cab.

Ok.

- Thank you all the same. - I'm sorry, Luciano.

- We have to do something! - Calm down, Carmela.

I'm here for the investigation.

A clue, a lead.

Help me, my late husband.

Anything, give me a clue, a lead.

A piece of paper. "Cod, one kilo". Go to hell!

It should be here! Here is the lead, a clue.

Yes.

Here!

- The sun is high. - What?

The sun came out.

I found it. Navigation Company.

There's also the name of the ship.

Leaving in a half an hour.

Lady Carmela, don't waste any time.

Let's go to the port and stop the ship. Get dressed.

Don't waste time talking. I'll go get dressed too.

- The cab is here. - Thank you.

- Bye, Luciano. - Bye.

- Two pizzas! - Special.

- Let's go there? - No, it's better there.

- Ok, Pussy Pussy. - Why are you calling me Pussy Pussy?

Because I like you!

- What are you doing? - What's gotten over you?

Nice boyfriend! And you say you're a friend.

- Who are you talking about? - You know, Sandra of course!

Sandra? You still think I'm with her? You are so silly.

He's still talking about Sandra!

- He still doesn't get it? - Everyone in Naples knows.

- What does all of Naples know? - She left me.

Leave me alone.

Mimì, Mimì…

- They aren't getting married. - They're not getting married?

He had a treasure right in front of him and didn't know it!

- Where is Sandra? - At school.

She's taking the math exam.

Come on.

- Come on! - Professor, it's too hard.

- Give me another problem. - It's not hard!

Sit down.

Tell me Avogadro's law.

Avogadro's law…

It's not hard! Try to remember what I explained in class.

Come on, try.

With the books under your arm and a shirt with little blue flowers,

you impress everyone in front of the school with your manners.

You take a cigarette when you go buy them for your father.

- Why are you crying? - It's nothing.

- This music confuses me. - Come on, this law…

- I know it. - Then say it.

No, I don't want to say it.

I'm so unhappy, I don't care about anything.

You may be unhappy, but is that a reason to fail math?

And you answer me why should I listen to you?

Love can wait, it can't go through.

Little Rascal, you're like a spring day.

I see you every morning when you watch yourself on the way.

Just a compliment and you blush.

Here she comes.

Little Rascal, you don't think of me at all.

- Beautiful girl! - Are you crazy singing here?

The professors made some faces…

- How did it go? - Good. I passed.

My music brings good luck. Let's celebrate.

I cant, I have to go tell my mother.

No, you're coming with me. Now.

There's someone waiting for you.

But… Why did you bring me here? I don't understand!

Go inside. There's a surprise for you.

Luciano!

I wanted to say goodbye, I'm leaving.

Leaving? Where to?

I didn't want to be rude and stop you in the street.

- And be rude to Nicola. - Nicola?

We broke up! You didn't know?

He was so boring!

- Are you leaving with her? - Yes.

You don't offer me a drink? I'm thirsty!

- What do you want? - I always drink whiskey.

They don't have it here!

- Can I sit down? - Excuse me!

- Do you have a cigarette? - Yes.

- Why did you break up with Nicola? - Why not!

I told you, I was tired.

I'm an easy girl.

Remember what Fernando said? He knows me well!

- I'm spoiled. - You say so?

Even you said so.

You even said you don't like to kiss another guy's girl.

Nicola isn't around anymore.

You could give me a kiss now.

One can never refuse a goodbye kiss.

You don't take anything from someone else.

- I've been kissed by many. - Jerk!

Captain, stop the ship!

There's a mother who is begging you.

I'm widow Capuana! Stop the ship.

- Stop that ship. - In the name of God! Stop.

- Go back! - Stop.

- It's too late! - My son!

Cursed devil, he won!

Poor mother!

Courage.

What are you doing there?

Move. You just stay there watching a mother suffer?

Call the police, call the Captain.

Call the newspapers, the press!

Go, my late husband talks through me.

St. Gennaro, give us a miracle!

Come on, St. Gennaro.

- You'll never lie again? - No, love.

Come in.

Slowly, slowly.

We agree. As soon as they arrive do what I told you to.

- What happened? - Here.

- Come. - What do you want?

Come on!

Shall we go?

They're coming.

Little Rascal, even you've changed.

And you are ready to say yes, in the church of Jesus!

Little Rascal, you are like a spring day.

I see you every morning when you watch yourself on the way.

Just a compliment and you blush.

Hurray!

- Thank you, professor. - Thank you.

I passed her because she deserved it.

I thank you because you failed her in June.

- Or I wouldn't have her again. - Thank you, professor.

- Let's go? - Let's go.

- Goodbye! - Goodbye.

Professor, have a pizza, you've earned it.

You spilled oil on yourself! Hurry, baby powder.

Hurray for the professor!!

That's Luciano! It's Luciano!

- Luciano! - Hi, Mom!

THE END
