All language subtitles for 1968 - La Bambolona

Is anybody there ?

- Good evening. - Good evening. Call
the Commendatore for me. - There is not.

I had an appointment at 03:00.

He just left. He went
home, he wasn't feeling well.

But wait,
he left this envelope for you.

I was convinced I was fighting
a couple of hours for the check.

Now until 08:00
what do I do?

It allows me ? I like it sweet.

- Do something, it's not at home!
- The phone, please.

Luckily, he did it!

Gigetto,
listen to what the Corriere says ...

... The Capitoline public
found in Herrera ...

... a hero worthy
of the ancient circenci ...

What does "circenci" mean?

- Excuse me ... - Turn off, otherwise
I'll call a policeman!

Well, let's not exaggerate.

# We who are in love
know that love is beautiful ... #

Who are you looking for? This is Scarapecchia.
If the accountant wants, he is not there.

Well, I could wait for it.

If it's from the cooperative, take it into your
head that my husband isn't involved.

Which cooperative, sorry?

Then take a seat.

There's someone looking for dad,
but he's not from the cooperative!

- Would you like to sit down?
- I prefer to remain standing.

What do you want from my father?
What should you tell him?

Actually ... I know exactly
what I have to tell him, I just ...

... it is
a bit delicate.

- No bad news, please
. -Is it about money?

- No, not really.
- Ah here.

- Does the young lady work?
- He's 17!

Everyone thinks
it is bigger because it is very developed.

- He got it from my mother-in-law.
- But, 17 years old! Congratulations.

There he is.

- A gentleman is waiting for you. -Wait for me ?
- It's not from the cooperative.

- Scarapecchia. Do you want?
- Nice to meet you, lawyer Broggini.

As I said to the lady ...
I didn't really tell her anything.

- I mean, I'd be here for
an investigation. -An investigation?

A kind of referendum
on behalf of a weekly.

But are you a lawyer or a journalist?

The group I represent
is gathering opinions.

I have no opinions!
And if I did, I wouldn't tell him!

- I don't like lawyers
or journalists! - Wait.

The inquiries, the polls,
were just excuses.

I got that.
So what is it about?

- It's about your daughter.
- What does my daughter have to do with it?!

I would like to ask
your permission to attend.

- How did you know her?! -I
do n't know her, I met her by chance.

I was struck by this
naive way of his , this ... white face.

It will seem strange to you
that I present myself like this, but ...

... I'm a bit old-fashioned,
I don't like today's systems.

- Please, take a seat.
- Thank you.

- What did he say his name was?
- Lawyer Giulio Broggini.

Do you practice your profession?

I am the assistant
of the lawyer Angeletti.

The salary is not much, but with
some economics and savings ...

... I can get by.

Tell the truth,
she hoped to find her alone.

I quickly realized
that he had no bad intentions.

Ivana, the lawyer
confessed to having followed you ...

... and he asked me for permission
to visit you sometime.

Why ?

He wants to date you.
If they are roses they will bloom ...

For me, please come.

- Come and take two shots.
- No, I have to go to the office.

- Stop it with that balloon!
- Will you take me to Rome?

- Are you without a car?
- Yes, I came with Carlo.

I'm sorry, I'm too busy.

Hello, lady? I'm Giulio.
Lawyer Broggini, remember?

I wanted to know if Ivana ...

She's not there,
she's in the shorthand typist course.

Ah, yes, I thought that ...

Come and visit us,
Ivana returns at 07:00.

Very nice. Then
I come at 07:00. Goodbye.

Giulio,
you finally woke up!

I'm sorry, Ivana is not there.

Come in, you
will be here any moment.

It's coming,
I saw it from the window.

Don't fret like that,
otherwise it scares you.

Go cool off a bit ...

- My husband comes back late tonight.
- Oh yes ?

He went to the bar
to watch television!

Yes, because we
don't have the second channel!

- Here. Excuse me.
- You are welcome.

Sit down, you will be tired.

I realized
that I gave you the tu ...

It came naturally, spontaneously.

What did you do in school?

The usual.
You dictate, we write.

- And what does it say?
- Who remembers?

Once out,
I don't remember anything.

The real shorthand typist
must be like this ...

... never has to remember anything,
like a car.

Do you know that you have beautiful hands?

Long, tapered,
truly beautiful.

Here we are !

Do you like reading ?

At least you will like cinema.

I hardly ever go there.
Dad without mom won't send me.

- When there's a good movie
around here, he'll invite us. - Willingly.

- He takes a coffee ?
- No thanks.

Looking back, I would have a coffee
, if it is not a nuisance.

- But do you think?
It will take two minutes! -Thank you.

Say, do you like to dance?

- Why ? -For today's dances
you need the right body.

Besides, dad doesn't send me.

Your physique is fine.

If you give me the address of the school,
I can come and pick you up by taxi.

I can't, dad made me
promise not to tell you.

It's innocent,
there's nothing wrong with it.

He made me swear it.

It could be
our little secret.

He would know immediately.
He always gets to know everything.

I'm sure he has me monitored
to see if I'm doing well.

We need an investigator.
It costs a lot of money, you know?

It costs nothing,
Uncle Ugo takes care of it.

He's a big
shot in the interior ministry.

This one is nice,
but this one is more resistant.

I'll take this, as long
as it works for a couple of days.

If it's for your daughter,
this is better.

No, it's a gift
for my maid.

You go great. You just have to sway
a little more on the hips.

So, here it sways, sways ...

Dai, dai ...

- Why do you stop? You were fine.
- I feel ridiculous.

I told you, you are very good.
If not, I wouldn't tell you.

What interest do I have?

Alright then. But who are you afraid of?
Of him, perhaps?

Don't joke about it,
you don't know him.

Listen, Ivana, we've known each other
for several days ...

... you don't have to
consider me a stranger anymore .

I am very nice to you, but
I still feel so ... detached.

- You seem to mind seeing me.
- I'm here, right? So ?

Yes, but ... don't you think of me?

In bed, for example,
do you never think you have me near?

I am always warm in bed.

Here I am, I'm ready.

- What time does it start ? -At 08:30.
- Then let's hurry.

I like to see movies
from the beginning.

Oh God !

They are those of the cooperative.
Now how do you do it? Excuse me. Come.

- Where are you taking me?
- I don't want them to see you here.

Here, over there. No, no ... come!

It didn't take!

Don't turn on the light!

Beautiful ! You are hot.

Let me kiss you.

- On the mouth !
- No, not really.

It 'does not matter.

Yes like this...

No, stay! Why ?

- Yes ...
- It was them!

Ivana, give me some water,
please. I feel bad.

- What's happening ?
- I was all freezing.

Fortunately,
Rosario was not at home.

Ah, what a figure! I'm
so sorry for you, lawyer.

- But thanks. -What do
those of the cooperative want ?!

My husband is the victim
of a grave injustice!

Thank you.

I feel a little better. If you want,
we can go to the cinema.

- If you don't hear ...
- No, no, let's go.

- We could take a taxi.
- No, it takes 5 minutes.

- Why don't you make your car?
- Maybe a little girl. We'll see.

Rosario, we go to the cinema.
It is all ready. Then will you join us?

Go home immediately!

- What happened, sorry?
- Let's talk about it at home!

All right.

He said he was
employed by a lawyer ...

... instead you are the employer of the
lawyer Angeletti ...

... by Boschi Luisa,
typist , Rappistoni Tilde, idem ...

... Palazzi Nerio, clerk ...

... and Marietti Diodato, domestic,
notoriously inverted ...

... who serves in his
penthouse in via Vecchiarelli 41.

Is all this true?

- Yes, it's true.
- Why did you try to deceive me?

Maybe out of love, I didn't want
the idea of an economic advantage ...

The truth is that the modest
economic condition ...

... would have allowed her to postpone
the wedding indefinitely!

It's your brother's opinion, it's
not necessarily the truth.

My brother has nothing to do with it! Who
put these stories in her head?!

Will I be able to see Ivana again?

Let me think,
I'll let you know. I'll phone you.

- He knows my numbers anyway.
- Even that of the direct line.

Here it is.

- Good evening.
- Good evening, lawyer.

You can call me,
but it may be too late ...

Ah, is that her? I changed my mind.
Better to cut off ...

Did she think I was marrying her?

Where are you going, in a hurry?

I was not running, Mr. Advocate.
I'm going out with my nephew.

What if someone calls?
You could at least wait.

- If you need me ...
- No, go ahead.

Thank you ! It is such a beautiful evening!
And then it's spring!

Yes, spring ... As if
he liked women in winter .

Damn !

Hello, Giulio?!
Why don't you answer me?!

- Hello?
- Is that you, Giulio?

- Hello Mom. How are you ?
- I feel good.

I wanted to know if you had
seen dad. Can you hear me ? Giulio ?!

Not in Milan?

No, he took the train
to Rome yesterday morning ...

... and he was leaving today from Fiumicino for
one of his usual conferences.

He said he would call you.
Now I'm worried.

When will it stop
going around the world?

Maybe he phoned, but I was
out of Rome. I'm back right now.

However,
I'm not comfortable.

What are you worried about?
He is not a child!

- He's so foiled!
- Wait, there's a message here.

His father phoned, he
leaves this morning for Brazil ...

He greets her and begs her
to reassure her mother ...

- Are you quiet now?
- It was better if you met.

At his age, with his health,
anything can happen to him, right?

If you receive any news,
even bad, call me immediately.

All right. I'm sorry,
but I've had a bad day.

- Hi, Giulio. And take care.
- Hello.

You haven't made
love in a long time, tell the truth.

From the last time with you.

And should I believe it?

- Do as you like. -If so, it
means that you are getting old.

And why have you been all
this time without showing up?

- You couldn't understand.
- Why ? I'm an idiot ?

Yup.

Whoever betrays
a woman, perishes as a woman ...

If you don't show up more often,
I'll have to put horns on you.

There is nothing better than love
to keep a woman fit.

And I have to lose weight
by at least 6 ounces.

I follow a new diet:
eating meals standing up.

It sounds silly,
but psychologically it works, you know?

There is nothing more
anti-feminine than a fat woman.

Rather,
I'd rather go bald.

You haven't told me
what you've been up to lately.

You could even make a phone call!
If you got tired, you would say so.

You know I don't do tragedies, it
can happen to you, to me ...

Would you be able to fall in love
with someone you don't like?

What nonsense are you talking about?
One thing either likes it or doesn't like it.

Well, no, sometimes you can feel
attraction for a particularity.

I don't know ... a big butt.

- Do you know that pederasts like me?
- Oh yes ? Not me.

Did you sleep? Sorry, if it wasn't
important, I wouldn't have called you.

No, just for a few minutes.

He doesn't know me
and says I'm a whore!

Sorry. No, I'm not drunk. There
hasn't even been a misfortune.

How can I explain to you on the
phone? Yes I'm in your part.

Here, good. Then tomorrow
I'll send you a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

Sorry, I can
only work with large machines.

You wake me up to tell me there's a
woman you care about? Test.

- But if nothing
else has happened to you since childhood! - Salt.

This has to be
something else entirely.

A curious phenomenon happens to me,
as if I were in love with it.

- You confuse love with the desire
to go to bed. -Maybe.

No, that's it, you get the urge,
and until you take it away ...

... you are convinced
that you are in love.

You make love
too lightly ...

... so you don't give
and take nothing.

In love or not, I always
wanted women I liked.

Women I was proud
to introduce to friends.

I would
n't even present this to the porter. I'm ashamed.

So I ask myself:
why that one?

Accidents of the trade. Something
has to happen to you sometime.

It can't always go smoothly.

Is that all you can say?
Where is the wine?

After three years, do you expect to find
the bottle in the same place?

We hope there is still more,
rather.

Wake up, the world goes on, even
in the absence of the lawyer Broggini.

Let's assume
I'm your client.

I am a lawyer,
not a psychiatrist.

- Aren't you hungry anymore?
- No, no, I eat.

You are not looking for advice,
you are looking for an accomplice.

You know you are doing
something wrong ...

... and you don't want to take
responsibility alone.

Any sensible advice
would be easy, obvious, obvious.

Then I'll try to make you happy by
saying what you want to hear.

You have always maintained
that everything has its price.

Get ready to pay. Maybe
pay 10 what it's worth 2.

Patience, you can't
always get good deals. All right ?

Brava the lady teacher! You have
always remained a bit pedantic.

- White ? -Yup.
- You know I drink red wine.

Since you're here and
you've ruined my sleep by now ...

... I want to make you
a confidence too .

At the end of the year
I get married to Angeletti.

- Angeletti? Are you talking ...
about my replacement? -Yup.

- I didn't notice. -When do you ever
notice what is going around you?

- Best wishes.
- Thank you.

- Is he the one drinking white wine?
- Of course.

- Did anyone call for me?
- He called his mother from Milan.

- Nothing else ? - No. -If you call
the accountant Scarapecchia ...

- I'll give it to you right away.
- Well.

Ah, here you are. You work hard
these days, huh?

You forgot to go
to court and I went there.

- I was writing you a memo.
- You replace me very well.

- From all points of view.
- I'm just doing my duty.

- Even something more.
- Are you feeling unwell?

No, I'm fine. Go ahead.

Yesterday I went to the
CEO of Sacis.

They want to turn into a joint
stock company and I advised them against it.

I said I'd tell you about it.

According to the balance sheets, the operation
is at least premature.

Dear accountant, I have
n't received your answer yet ...

For a father two days
are not long ...

... but they are eternal
for a lover ...

I know I've made a
lot of mistakes ...

But to show her that my
feelings are respectful ...

... today, June 27,
I ask for your daughter's hand ...

- I recommend!
- There he is !

- Give me !
- Do not wet the tablecloth.

It doesn't matter,
the sparkling wine is so good and it doesn't stain.

- Done.
- To ..santé ..! -Cheers !

- Long live the boyfriends!
- Hurray!

I don't know why, but sparkling wine
always makes my nose itchy.

For me, weddings in October
are great ...

... but when it comes to dates it
is better to let the women decide.

Too bad his brother isn't there,
I would have liked to have known him.

He couldn't tonight, but he said
another day is coming.

Don't worry,
think about your girlfriend.

Are you glad he's back?

And what obliges me?
I would have said no.

You could
kiss the lawyer today.

Now that everything is fine, you can
go outside a little. Here it's warm.

You will have so many things to tell each other.

They have their whole life to argue.

Why does
your father get nervous when you mention your uncle ?

Because he's the one who decides everything,
and my father gets annoyed.

He made him take
the information about you.

Then it is he who has decided
to bring me back.

No, it was dad. He didn't want to,
that's why he wasn't there tonight.

- For what reason?
- I do not know.

Hands down !

- Even now that we're engaged?
- Even now.

- It's yours ?
- The car ? Yes you like ?

- I like red cars.
- Ah.

We'll get a red one,
little one, all for you.

- But can you drive? -I tried a
couple of times on my uncle's car.

He says I don't have to get
my driver's license because I'm nervous.

-
Does your uncle have a white Seicento? -Why ?

I had the impression of being
followed by a white Seicento.

Everyone in the police
uses them, to go unnoticed.

- What are you doing ? -But how ?
We have to get married in October!

So ? Don't you know
we're still in June?

- There was still some,
it's a shame to throw it away. -Yup.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to sleep.

- Already ? -The sparkling wine
gave me a headache.

Of course, you haven't even had dinner.
It will be the emotion!

- You answer ?
- Yup.

- See you tomorrow. -But why, sorry?
- I told you, I'm sleepy.

- Let me say hello ...
- I'll say hello to you. -Ready?

Ivana, come on.

Oh no, now we are exaggerating!
But who does he think he is?

He gets a call, he
throws me away ...

I bet it was the uncle,
or maybe someone else.

Better, so it will be easier,
when I have to unhook it.

Dear accountant ...
Why "dear"? Who cares.

Dear accountant, your daughter is
behaving in an unspeakable way ...

A tacky girl like her takes the
liberty of saying "Hands off" ...

She should be
touching me, are we kidding?

I have decided to give a damn about your
daughter and to remain a bachelor ...

Excuse the disorder...

Come on, what's wrong ?!

I get engaged, I toast with that stomach-churning
sparkling wine ...

... and you are not happy?!

In Italy there are crimes and thefts
and you are meddling with my business?!

Who is it ?!

Cuckold!

No, dear uncle,
I'm not a cuckold yet!

I know what her plan is:
I pay and she enjoys it!

I understand that you want to cultivate
your granddaughter! Here is the proof!

Good evening, lawyer.

I am happy to find her at home,
I have had an accident.

Nothing serious,
but you know what the police are like ...

What does the police have to do with it?

Come on, talk, what kind
of accident happened to you?

You see, I
went out with my nephew tonight .

- The one on the Vespa?
- Yeah.

We were in San Giovanni,
on the avenue next to the walls.

I had seen a car following us.

I knew that the police no longer use
the "Panthers" but the Seicento ...

... but at that moment
I didn't think about it.

They asked for the documents. They wanted to
know what we were doing at that hour.

Stop playing with the keys!

I wasn't playing, lawyer.
I got lost.

So I said that young man
was an electrician ...

... and that I had brought him
an embassy from him.

Damn !

- Good morning !
- Ah, it's you, lawyer!

- I was just passing by and ...
- I was doing some shopping.

- Take a seat, I'll accompany you.
- Do not bother. - You are welcome.

- But no, it's all close by.
- Here. -Thank you.

Excuse me, huh?

Given the occasion, I would like to talk to you
a little in confidence.

Just remember
that I am very emotional.

There is nothing to be impressed.
This is Uncle Raffaele.

Ivana told me she would be
against our engagement.

- If Ivana told you ...
- Do you know what to do? I'm going to talk to him.

- No, don't, for heaven's sake.
- Why not ?

My brother-in-law
has a very delicate position ...

... and does not wish to deal
with personal matters in the office.

Then I'll go see him at home.
Where do you live ?

Outside Rome, at the Castelli. But,
if I had to say where, I don't know.

- Lawyer, stop here, I
've arrived. -Here? -Yup.

For him, Ivana is a princess
and must be kept "like a rose in the nose" ...

She would not like her to date
men, to go out alone ...

- He is jealous. -Why ?
- The southerners are like that.

- But is he a handsome man?
- So and so.

Ivana, come and see who is there!

Hi, I'll call you later.
Yes, that's fine. Hello.

- Ah, now even in the morning?
- We met by chance.

He was kind, he necessarily wanted
to take me home.

- How do you make broccoli,
madam? -In the pan.

- Aren't you glad to see me?
- What does that have to do with anything ? I was not expecting you.

- Who were you calling? -Do you tell me
all the phone calls you make?

- If you want, I can tell you about my
work. -Do you know how much I understand?

Even a simple glass of water you
bring me with distrust.

Because even when you ask me for
water, you think about certain things.

So ? What should I
think about? I'm in love.

- Do you like my caresses?
- No.

After we get married, how are we going to do it?

What does that have to do with anything ?
Once you are married, you have to do it.

Yes, but what if you don't
even like them after getting married?

Like it or not, it's marriage.

He was a police brigadier. He
did n't want to believe she wasn't there.

He said to me, "Why did
the lawyer come out so early?"

- Couldn't you have made him wait?
- He said he'd come back.

And then I didn't think ...

If you knew how sorry I am to
give you all these hassles!

- What do you have to do with it? -I told you
what happened last night, right?

I'm sure they want to ask you
for information about me.

No, look, it's all a maneuver,
all a pretext!

The reasons are quite different!

But if they think they are intimidating me with a
sergeant, they are very wrong.

Not even if it were
the Minister of the Interior!

One will have the right to
sleep with his girlfriend, right?

Ah, yeah, you ...

Mr. Attorney,
I can't find your bag.

It 'does not matter. I don't feel like
working today, I'm on vacation.

- Bravo, it's a shame to throw away
so much youth! -Thank you.

- If I were in his place ...
- Listen, what would you do?

First of all, instead of suffering,
I would make others suffer.

- What makes you suffer? -You
always suffer for the same reason.

They say people suffer
from hunger, from war ...

... for fear of the atomic bomb.

All inventions of politics.
A lot of nonsense is said.

- You are right. -For me, people
suffer from a lack of heat.

You are too lucky
to understand these things.

Hello? Yes, immediately.

- Mister lawyer,
it's that guy, Ernesto. - Give me.

- Hello? Yes I am.
- I followed him.

He lives in a pension in
via Veneto. If you want, I'll accompany you.

Not this morning, I'm busy.
Maybe tomorrow.

- Then I'll wait.
- Yes, let's go together.

Sure, it's a casual lunch.

If I knew it would stop, I would
prepare something special.

Once you have to make him
the mussel gratin.

- He knew what a cook she is!
- I noticed.

- Rosario! Do you want more?
- We're in the family, aren't we?

- Here is a thin piece.
- Thank you.

What sauce, right?
It will take some baking soda.

What's up ? Thank you.

So you'll stop asking me
if I'm glad you stayed.

- Are you glad he stayed?
- Ugh!

- Excuse me. -It
never stands still for a moment, Adelina!

- I'll come right away. - She's like
my mother. - Let her.

Women don't eat. They are satisfied
with their eyes when they see us eat.

Well, sure,
at that age it's another thing.

I gave up everything,
but no food!

Don't give compliments.

It will be a schoolmate.

Here, down in the south,
we are used to this ...

... after dinner, the women go
about their business ...

... and the men
argue while drinking wine.

Women don't like
wine or politics.

And maybe ... they are right.

Because both one and the other ... we
no longer know how they are made.

Once ... it must have been a
bad policy, I don't argue.

The dictatorship has its flaws,
but at least we understood something.

Today, however, with these baciapile,
who knows where we will end up!

- Ivana comes right away.
- We all ask a little.

It would take a man with an
iron fist to put everything back in place.

A man of the real ones,
as we understand.

- A man of all attributes,
do you understand me, lawyer? -Of course.

When "he" was there,
at Palazzo Venezia ...

... there was always some woman
waiting for him in the sitting room.

Between one interview and another,
between one minister and another ...

"Wait a minute," he said,
then opened the door ...

... and in a little while it
left them breathless.

- He ? -Women
from all countries have passed in there!

They all said he
had a magnetism in his eye.

He looked at you
and you couldn't resist.

Now, however, with these,
both on the right and on the left ...

... for one moral
or another, "nix"!

Anyway, then
it certainly wouldn't have happened ...

... what happened to me
with the cooperative.

I have my share
in the wrong, I recognize it ...

... but what
hurt me most is injustice!

When she will know ...
Things not to believe!

- Now comes the surprise.
- The watermelon !

Come on, let's get here.
Look what a nice little place.

Nobody sees us here.

Are you yawning? Are you sleepy?

I'm always sleepy. If it were up to me, I'd
sleep all day.

When we are married, you will sleep
until one, until I get back.

We'll go to bed early in the evening, but
you'll stay up as long as I want.

Maybe I'll wake you up at night too.

Mum says
the cannon shots don't even wake me up .

It doesn't matter, you sleep,
I'll take care of the rest.

Do you know that you are beautiful?
You look like a statue. Let me see U.

Monta su.

Yeah, just like a statue.
But the statues are naked.

Pull up the dress a little.
I swear to you, I don't touch you.

- Let me see U. -Yes, so then
mom comes and shows you her!

She sent us here on purpose, she
knows we're engaged ...

... and, as an expert woman, she
wants us to know each other.

Come on, let me look
a little longer.

Let me watch you. Do you want me to get
married without seeing what you look like?

I'm well done. For
today's fashion I 'm a little fat.

I should eat less,
but I like it too much.

- And do you like me to touch you?
- Ugh, let's start over?

No, you don't have to lose weight, on the
contrary, you have to gain weight.

You have to eat a lot, stuff with
cream, chocolate, a lot of bread ...

- I'd like to know why.
- Because I love you, right?

- What are you doing ? You're crazy ?
- Shut up, my love. Shut up.

But what is it here?
You are all wrapped up.

- It's the bust.
- The bust? This is an armor.

You look like a Simmenthal box.

Mom says I have to take it, so
she's calmer, and so am I.

- That's why he left us alone.
- So you don't trust me, huh?

I didn't go to Brazil ...

... for the simple reason
that I didn't have to go.

Let me understand:
why did you leave Milan?

And above all,
why are you here, in this place?

You ask me why.

It's not easy, even if
it's all very clear to me.

You see, if I have been able to live
next to your mother for many years ...

... in a way,
it's about the planes.

Mum, although she has
never been on it, is terrified of it.

The only time I felt
free and happy to live ...

... it was when I left alone
for congresses, seminars, conferences.

In short, for one of those meetings
that we urban planners do ...

... even if nowhere
nowhere is listening to us anymore.

- Oh well, finish.
- Immediately.

Since I didn't have to
attend any congresses this year ...

... I invented one so as
not to give up a little freedom.

And what do I tell my mother?
That one calls me every day.

Say that I wrote to you from Brazil,
that I am fine and that I will return soon.

- Ah, are you going home?
- Sure. -Well.

At my age
, these things are no longer done.

The right-thinking people have always
called it "nonsense" ...

... but I assure you
that they are not at all.

I just want to sit
here a little longer and read my books ...

... without being interrupted by
someone asking how you are ...

... and go for a walk whenever I want
without mom being worried.

Days ago, for example ...

You know I buy a lot of books
to keep up to date ...

... and that I like to browse them,
write them down, arrange them ...

- Giulio, are you listening to me?
- Yes, yes. I was thinking about mom.

- Missing the second act a lot?
- It starts soon.

- Giulio ! -Hello !
- What are you doing here ?

I accompanied a Dutch client
with two obsessions: opera and archeology.

- Between the two, I preferred
the worldly one. -Do you want ? -Thank you.

- Do you know that the Honorable is here? -Yup ?
- You'll see, you meet him. -Let's hope.

- See you later.
- Maybe I'm leaving.

- Do you wish?
- Is there any binoculars?

- A thousand lire. -Keep the change
for the deposit. -Thank you.

- I'm sorry. I went around
the whole theater to find it. -Thank you.

I saw the "Barbiere" in '38,
with after-work shows.

The great Gigli did it.

- Giulio !
- Shh !

- Are you having fun?
- Quite.

Wait ... here, slowly ...
It's a while. tight, huh?

- Here we are.
- Here ...

Accountant, I no longer remember
how the cavatina motif does it.

- # A voice a little while ago here
in the heart ... # - # I rang! #

- What were you looking at? -Nothing, it
looked like my uncle's car.

- You don't
count the story of your uncle right. -Why ?

If I tell you something I know, do you
promise to tell the truth?

- Sure, talk. - I learned that
Uncle Raffaele is your lover.

- Well? - Who knows
who told you this nonsense.

- It's true ? Why do not you answer ?
- It's not worth it.

So isn't it?
Could you swear it?

- I swear, but you
believed it. -Try to understand...

I only understand that you think I'm capable
of doing certain things with my uncle.

- He's a man too. -In
the meantime, there is the question of blood.

And then, with me,
neither my uncle nor anyone else gets rid of these cravings .

- The first time I saw you at the
bar, who did you call? - To the uncle.

If it had been an
innocent phone call , you would have made it from home.

We were talking about the cooperative.

Dad wasn't well, he had taken the
drops, I couldn't talk about it from home.

Now come on,
mom is waiting for us.

I have it with your uncle because he
has it with me. Why don't you approve?

According to him,
you don't intend to marry me.

- What do you deduce it from?
- From many things.

Even the most beggar
of boyfriends gives a ring.

Okay, I'll buy the ring too,
but put something in your head ...

... when I pay,
I want to be served, and well.

Your niece
has to earn it, right?

The more I pay, the
better she will have to be.

This, four.

This one, three.

Nine. Two.

- Two million ? -It doesn't seem expensive
for a stone of this size.

No, no, it's a gift.

I go to school
to measure her finger.

If the ring is large,
we put it around a little. of thread.

Are you kidding? The wire around
a 2 million ring? Ready!

Why did you stop here?

To show you the ring, I
told you. But first I want to talk to you.

Sorry, I know what you want.

We're getting married in October, two
months to go, can't you wait a bit?

For me, marriage
does not mean family, children.

I marry a woman because ... I want to
be comfortable in bed with her.

- Una marries you just for that.
- I think so.

- In conclusion, what would you like?
- Nothing. I would like to prepare you.

I would like to make you understand gently
what happens in marriage.

So we should be
seeing a lot more alone.

You could come ... to my house,
so you are more peaceful.

What if I say no?

So, I'm sorry,
but I'm forced to quit.

Hurry to say:
"Let's meet, come to my house".

Let's say yes.
Where do you put your uncle?

It's a miracle
if we go well tonight.

Think if he saw me here with you now.

Would you say: "My boyfriend
wants to show me the ring" ...

- Yeah, what about the ring?
- It's here. There he is.

It's not really the ring,
it's the stone. It's a ruby, see?

With these you can try the fit
without going to the jeweler.

- I can ?
- Yup.

Give me your hand.

- It's good ? -Good?! It is a
precious stone, it costs a lot.

This seems to me to be fine,
neither wide nor narrow. Let me see.

You like ? Nice is not it ?

- Giulio, the stone! -Where is it ?
- Fell ! -How "fall"?!

- Don't get off, maybe it's on the
skirt. -No, he's inside, I'm sure.

Here, it looks good on you, so you learn!

Where did it go? Maybe it's below.

- What do I do now?
- Look for it, right ?!

- Ah, here it is, I found it!
- Thank god.

I prayed to Sant. Antonio
and the stone jumped out.

Yes, Sant 'Antonio ...

- Now let's go home, it's late.
- Why ?

Your dad is at the bar watching TV.
Come on, let's take a walk.

- Where are you taking me ? - Let's go
below. Don't you like nature?

What place is this ?! Ouch!

- Do not overdo it ! -I can't
walk, I have high heels!

- Come. -What comes to your mind?
- "Come", I told you!

- I don't understand ... Giulio, come on!
- Don't get pulled!

- You hurt me ! -I am fed up !
Do you want to stop it?! -You're crazy ?

Sorry.

My Madonna ...

I said so!

But no, it's a couple!
Ivana, come back!

Now, every time we see
a white Seicento ... Ivana!

I didn't mean to hurt you.
Why are you so afraid?

Because I'm small!

- Please, take a seat.
- Permission? Brigadier De Simone.

Please have a seat.

Tell me.

You see, our task is not just
to investigate the evil done ...

... but to prevent it where possible.

Do you want to be clearer?

This is a person
who is very close to her.

- You don't understand who I intend to
talk to you about? -Of a woman.

Not really, although ...

It is one of his servants:
Marietti Diodato.

- Are you sure you want to talk to me ...
about Diodato? -I'm here for this.

We have investigated
his account, his habits.

- I know
my servant's habits . -Well.

Then he will also know a certain ...
Picuti Sergio.

- His nephew. -He is
also the nephew of several others.

My servant's private life does not concern me.

It is my duty to warn you
that because of the Picuti ...

... Marietti has exhausted the
last remaining economies.

He sold
his mother's house to the village ...

... and when he has nothing left he
will be fatally forced ...

... to be irregular towards her.

When only
sex is obeyed ...

... you can get
to any baseness.

- Thank you
for letting me know. -Must.

- Ah, sergeant ...
- Tell me.

Say hello to doctor Scarapecchia.

- What, you don't know him?
- And who doesn't know him?

But given my position
and rank ...

... I have no honor to know him
personally or to meet him.

- I understand. He's
my fiancée's uncle . -Congratulations.

So, you say hello to me.

Why do you let yourself be touched, but
don't let yourself be kissed on the mouth?

It's one of the things we'll do next.
I do not know why.

Perhaps because the other parts
of the body are further away.

Do you know it's very beautiful up here?

We should come
here more often, you know?

Is it nice because you think
no one sees us?

No, it is beautiful because it is beautiful.

I've thought a lot about what
you told me the other night.

- Oh yes ? And what have you decided?
- You can't go on like this.

Since I've known you, I can't
move: "What are you doing? Where are you going?"

I'm sure the sergeant who
came to you, your uncle sent him.

And then, since I
've known you, it's always the same story with you.

And then I think you are right.

- What do you mean ? -In the sense
that either we take it or we leave it.

I am who I am. If
I'm not happy with you, friends more than before.

If we have to do
these tests, let's do them.

- And then let's get started. -Up here ?
- Nobody sees us anyway.

No, there is too much light,
I am ashamed. Come.

Come in. You are scared ?

- Get this stuff out!
- And where do I put it? -I do not know.

If he gets dirty, Mom will kill me.

The ground is dirty,
the fountain is wet ....

- Do you want to see me ? -Sure.
- Then, hold on.

Come on, let me see! Up !

Do not be shy.
Yet ! Higher! Here it is!

- Are you done ?
- No, I beg you, a little more ...

There is nothing more. And then
I choke down here! That's enough !

Please stay this way, Ivana!

- Ivana!
- My mother !

- I do not care !
- Beat me up! -But no...

- What do we do now?
- Ivana!

- I knew it! What do I tell you?
- Keep calm.

What were you doing ?!

Nothing, we were upstairs, then she
wanted to show me the laundry.

Why did you take off your bust ?!
I found it under the pillow!

- Look how you combined!
- No, no slaps!

If I tell you we haven't
done anything wrong ...

- How could he, with the laundry
in his hand? -We also lacked this.

We should come up here more often
to get some fresh air, lawyer.

The Trumpeter.

Who's there ? Ah, Signora Cesira!

I went to the terrace
to collect the clothes with the newlyweds.

He's Ivana's boyfriend,
the lawyer. See you, lady.

Good evening.

Diodato, come here.

What happens ? Sit down.

- What's up ? -What do you want it to be,
lawyer? -Your nephew ?

Well, she got it anyway.

I said he was my nephew for the
people and out of respect for her.

What did he do to you? Come on, let it out.

Guys are mean to us ...

... they take advantage of our state,
of our loneliness.

I thought Sergio was a little different,
a little fond of him.

I tried not to
make him miss anything ...

... shoes, cigarettes, cinema.

I had also bought a Vespa,
making sacrifices.

- Did you give it to him? -I didn't
give it to him, he took it.

He asked me
to go out and about with friends.

I told him that the
two of us had to go for a walk with the Vespa .

He agreed with me
and we went out together.

Near Frascati, he realized
that the bike was not working well.

He made me get out
to give him a push.

I pushed
him , he left and I never saw him again.

- But, sorry, as he was leaving he
didn't say anything to you? -No.

He just ... waved
his arm to greet me.

How ? With an open hand
or a closed fist?

I couldn't see well,
because I didn't have glasses.

But ... maybe the hand was closed.

Then you don't see him anymore.

She found Ivana
ready, beautiful, florid ...

... does not know the sacrifices
and medicines it took.

To raise a healthy
and robust child , he never backs down.

You are looking for an extraordinary job,
you play Lotto and Totocalcio.

In the end, one appeals to the only
resource of the poor: debt.

A debt-free employee
is not one for whom the salary is enough.

He is someone who does not find
someone who lends him money.

Unfortunately I found them.

They had learned that I was a relative of
Scarapecchia and this guaranteed them.

- Who knew?
- The cooperative.

Co-operatives
are small banks among friends ...

... with
very high weekly odds and interest.

To pay the dues, I had to take out
other loans, and so on.

I was hit
by a real avalanche.

I realized I couldn't go
on and stopped paying.

Now they are threatening to report me
and turn to my brother.

This is why
he feels bad every now and then.

- Is that a lot of money? -For
me it represents a year of work.

For others ...
a bet at the casino.

But, I told you,
I will never take money from her.

- Why did you want to tell me about it?
- For two reasons.

First, because maybe you, as a
lawyer, can give me some advice.

And also because if my name
were to end up in the newspapers ...

... I'd only be sorry for her.

- Now you know. -But
you don't mind your brother?

No, I don't mind him.
I'll tell him about it another time.

What are you doing ?
And you, why are you already here?

Well, I'm here.

What did you tell him?
What did you ask him?

Nothing. I've never
asked anyone for anything.

- So I made up my mind.
- Did you decide ?

- What ?
- I'll come to your house tomorrow.

Are you serious?

Yesterday I told you I had to make up
my mind, but if you don't want to ...

But if it is since I met you
that I do not want anything else!

Today is San Lorenzo,
tonight many stars are falling.

Anyone who sees one and asks for something
is sure to be heard.

What will you ask for?

I ask that our
appointment tomorrow goes well ...

... because
our future depends on that .

What do I have to ask?

But you have to tell me
that tomorrow you will really come.

At 04:00. Instead of going
to school, I come to you.

At 04:00.
Look, I am waiting for you from now on.

Ciao.

Giulio !

# When I was little ... #

# ... I always slept
by the light of a lamp ... #

- So I'm going.
- Go, go, Diodato.

And don't come back before 08:00,
for no reason in the world.

- Good evening, lawyer,
and best wishes. -Thank you.

I forgot to tell her that
her father called this morning .

He said he just got back
from Brazil and he wanted to say goodbye.

# There is no
dream for two to dream the same . #

I didn't have the money for the taxi.

The goalkeeper has no "change".
Give him 1000 lire, please.

Go! Go! Go.

Do you like the house?

The terrace is nice. Even
the apartment I do not mind.

But ... there are too many problems.

Okay, we'll change
anything you don't like.

How bad is this kitchen!

We will change this too.

Bedroom. Do you want to see her ?

Come.

This is not bad.

Did you see that
you were n't attacked by a brute when you came here?

Undress, so you will stay fresher.
Are you still wearing a bust?

Always. And it's a torment
in this heat.

Especially since I'm pregnant,
and it is a real annoyance ...

... even if I'm only
in the second month.

How did you say, sorry?

That the bust bothers me
because I'm two months pregnant.

Are you kidding me ?

No, I'm serious.

No, it's not possible.

Okay, let's face it!
Who did it ?

- Like "who did it"?
It was you ! -I ?

That you don't like it
is another thing ...

... but I don't admit
you asking me who did it.

I am always stalked, I only see you:
who should have been?!

I don't know if you realize
what you said!

In your opinion, what must
a woman do to get pregnant?

- And by what signs do you understand it?
- Did you take me for a moron?

To be sure, I did
the analysis from a lab. Here.

... Ivana Scarapecchia in Broggini,
positive pregnancy analysis ...

Eh, no, if you think
you're fooling me, you're wrong!

- You know very well that I have nothing to do with it!
- How can you prove it? -And you ?

How can you try
it was me? We feel !

First of all,
you are my boyfriend.

Then there are the neighbors who
saw us alone in the garden ...

... mom who
surprised us on the terrace ...

... your doorman
who accompanied me here ...

Apart from the fact that in these cases
the girl is always believed ...

... especially if you are a minor.

Speak up,
what game are we playing ?!

It's a game you know very well.

It's the same
as you were doing with me.

You made fun of dad
and mom very well , but you didn't convince me.

You knew very well that ours
was not a real engagement.

You were forced to, you had no
other way to take me to bed ...

... you were afraid of your uncle.

You were sure you would find
a way to get rid of me later.

Instead, my dear,
you really fell badly.

- Does your uncle know?
- No.

So do you know what I do?
I go to him and tell him everything.

And I tell him that
I have nothing to do with this dirty business!

I do not recommend it,
but, if you really care, here it is.

Interior Ministry?
Doctor Scarapecchia, please.

- The grandson.
- Leave it alone, go!

Calm down! Let's be very calm!

Let's see what we can do.

All right,
you succeeded in the game , the son is mine.

I marry you as you are. But now
you undress and come to bed with me!

No, I'm not marrying you,
and I'm not going to bed with you.

- I'll never go there.
- But then what do you want from me?!

Money.

- Good morning, lawyer.
- Any news?

- Doctor Angeletti
from Cortina phoned . -From Cortina ...

He wanted news of her. Then he called
Miss Scarapecchia.

What he said ?

He asked when he could find her
and said he would call back.

For a serious
family reason ...

... I have to dissolve the promise
that binds me to Ivana ...

... and, with equally
spontaneous feelings , to you and your wife ...

The wrong is mine and I would like Ivana to
keep it as my memory ...

... the ring I am giving you ...

Nothing more, thank you.

What else do you want?

- I want the money for the doctor.
- How much ?

- A good guy wants a million.
- Okay, I'll write you a check.

But let me tell you first
that you are a great whore.

There would be no whores if there
were no pigs willing to pay them.

- There's that young lady.
- Pass it to me.

She's here, will I let her in?

Please, take a seat.

How are you ?

- How hot, huh?
- Please have a seat.

- I was afraid you didn't want to
see me. -I ? No because ?

Be', sai...

- How are Papa and Signora Adelina
? - They took it well.

Dad said
a good thing couldn't happen to him.

I just came by to tell you
it's not true that I'm pregnant.

I wanted to tell you. With me these
cravings do not take away anyone.

Not even Adriano.

- And the analysis? -Adriano's sister is
expecting a baby.

She gave me the bottle
and I delivered it in my name.

Sorry, why did you accept me,
if there was another man?

Adriano is not another man.
Adriano is Adriano.

He is the greengrocer's son.

His father is also a failure like
mine, and we must save ourselves.

We don't want to end up with them.

We grew up together,
she is just over 18 years old.

Yeah, I
'm an old man to you, right?

A little, but that's not it.
You are not really old.

But when you talk I don't understand you.

And then, always with your hands on!
And you made a face!

- You know you scared me?
- I ?

You know, with Adriano we had thought
of stealing your Maserati.

Then to take your keys
and break into the apartment.

Then also to kill you.
Do not you believe it ?

Yes, yes, now ...
now I believe everything, look.

When you gave me the ring, it
seemed like the least dangerous route.

That's all.

After all, you
only lost a little money.

Yes, yes, just a little money.

So ... I'll take it out of the way.

- You don't mind, do you,
that I came? -No, on the contrary.

Indeed, if
you want to come back sometime ...

No, it is better not.

It used to be easier, because
you were in the wrong.

But now ... what do I know?
You might as well be dangerous.

Because, you see, despite everything,
when I kissed you I was sincere.

- I better go.
- Yes, it's better.

Also because the uncle
might find out.

Ah, I forgot ...
the uncle doesn't exist, you know?

Doctor Scarapecchia
is from my father's town ...

... but we don't know him.

Why all this bullshit?

You won't believe it, but
Adriano and I had fun.

And then I fixed a lot of things.

With the money from the ring, Dad
paid off the cooperative's debt.

We
made a car with the money from the check .

If you want to see it, it's down.
There is also Adriano.

- Guess what color
the car is? -Red!

Yesterday we did not know each other and
today we are already in bed. Not bad.

- Would you like a cigarette ?
- Yes thanks.

- Does the light bother you?
- No.

I like how you make love:
without drama.

You go first, you go ...
