See? 15 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,391 Give life to this work! 16 00:03:14,946 --> 00:03:16,823 Gentlemen, thanks to you... 17 00:03:16,986 --> 00:03:19,625 ...we are no longer in the Arena of Verona. 18 00:03:19,786 --> 00:03:22,983 Instead, we are in the Theater of Flavius... also known as the urinal! 19 00:03:23,386 --> 00:03:24,614 I salute you! 20 00:03:28,066 --> 00:03:30,057 Such sensitivity... 21 00:03:30,346 --> 00:03:32,860 - Smoke? - Yes, thank you. 22 00:03:49,613 --> 00:03:51,683 Cavalmoretti, you didn't light mine. 23 00:03:51,853 --> 00:03:53,445 Sorry, I didn't see you. 24 00:03:53,613 --> 00:03:55,285 But I just gave you a cigarette. 25 00:03:55,693 --> 00:03:58,207 Big whoopie.

We shouldn't make too much of them. 126 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,830 But nobody recognizes me, and that makes me feel bad. 127 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,235 Very, very bad. 128 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,513 If I am depressed... 129 00:10:14,826 --> 00:10:16,896 ...unquestionably, that's the reason why. 130 00:10:31,173 --> 00:10:35,688 Hey!

Maybe it's already happened. 140 00:11:01,413 --> 00:11:03,483 You should have thought of that before. 141 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,955 Call the guard! 142 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,549 I'm still locked up! 143 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,795 Deliver me! 144 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,039 Sometimes a freak incident can take you by surprise. 145 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,875 Why get all neurotic about it? It can happen to anyone. 146 00:11:28,026 --> 00:11:30,176 On my wedding day with Costanza... 147 00:11:30,346 --> 00:11:32,337 ...I confess that I freaked out. 148 00:11:32,546 --> 00:11:34,343 It was rather funny, actually... 149 00:11:47,226 --> 00:11:48,215 Wait! 150 00:11:48,586 --> 00:11:50,577 Stop!

Cellos, violins, as I said. 158 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,275 Let's go. 159 00:12:37,986 --> 00:12:39,305 You there, in the middle! 160 00:12:39,666 --> 00:12:41,338 What are you doing? 161 00:12:41,626 --> 00:12:43,503 Have you lost your mind?

When are you taking me, Niccolo? 180 00:13:48,146 --> 00:13:50,216 First we have make sure insurance will cover it. 181 00:13:50,386 --> 00:13:52,695 You know how much it costs. A cure ... 182 00:13:56,466 --> 00:13:58,297 Say, Costanza. 183 00:14:00,946 --> 00:14:04,336 - Are you happy with me? - What a strange question ... 184 00:14:05,546 --> 00:14:07,855 - You would marry me again? - Of course. 185 00:14:08,066 --> 00:14:10,182 But what for?
