But the worst is a great pain here.

By the way, his father, since you are

... But because it is nasty stuff,
it is better that only you feel.

Barzottin, stop! - Yes
Note. Give him a little.
Drink up.

Come on, made the sign of the cross.
Then, father ...
At 14, I stole the classroom
science a monkey, an owl ...
Listen to me '... tell me all
crap you did as a boy?
- Let the night! - I die first?
- It's not that you die first.
If you're really dying,
I have to say something substantial.
There I'ho something so bad, father.
I can tell it to him?
I'm here on purpose.
Pilotto, you're good. The more you talk,
more you struggle, the worse you are.
I know, Lieutenant. I learned
myself from this stinking war.
Then, father ...
At Frattocchie

To make a girl pregnant,
father, it does not take too much coaxing.
Just one-shot deal.
Lucy was there, as beautiful as the sun,
China to rinse clothes.
- I came from behind the e. ..
- Oh! Do not go into details!
- Was to make you understand, father ...
- I understand, I am a man.
- Be serious. - You owe me swear
when I die, I say to my brother.
To get the awareness,
you mean everything to your brother.
And how about this
family now lives in peace?
- But I have repented and want to pay.
- Yes, but this is not so.
We do one thing:
I absolve you here on earth, okay?
Then you will pay in the hereafter, and if anything ...
If you do not say anything to your brother,
basically doing a good deed.
- At most, you'll have 30 or 40 years
purgatory. - So let's stay like this?
We are so good.
- Now you're clean.
- Lieutenant! Lieutenant! - Oh!
We are so
if there's any chance ...

And more would die for a
whore? We must tell him now.
Are you crazy? In a desperate man say
that his wife has put the horns?

despair, he comforts a little '.
In your opinion, is a consolation
knowing that his wife is a whore?
Enough! The dead must be respected.

So give us a little water.

- Weighs over six tons!
- But it was not coming from the sea?
- Why did the church.
- It's miraculous, it floated.
- Pilotto, go get the truck.
- Take the rope and pull up.
- How long does it take? - About half an hour.
- I'm going to take some pictures
in the city. - But it is half-bombed.
Indeed, the shooting in the other half.

Young Women ... cheap ".

By the way, his father, since you are
here, I have two things to say ...
... But because it is nasty stuff,
it is better that only you feel.
- But I want to confess?
- You never know.
Why not come first in the field?
So we do things slowly.

- Yes
Barzottin, stop! - Yes
Note. Give him a little.
Drink up.
What a wretched country we conquer!
No wine, no women,
and knows that there is little water piss.
Rather than piss, you know of oil.
Come on, made the sign of the cross.
Then, father ...
At 14, I stole the classroom
science a monkey, an owl ...
Listen to me '... tell me all
crap you did as a boy?
- Let the night! - I die first?
- It's not that you die first.
If you're really dying,
I have to say something substantial.
There I'ho something so bad, father.
I can tell it to him?
I'm here on purpose.
Pilotto, you're good. The more you talk,
more you struggle, the worse you are.
I know, Lieutenant. I learned
myself from this stinking war.
Then, father ...
At Frattocchie
I have an older brother, Benito ...
... Married to Rosa Muretto.
The two have a kid
seven, eight years ... Victor.

- Well '...
Victor is not my nephew ...
is my son.
- It's your son? And your brother
knows? - No, I do not know, father.
- If not a burden because I here?
- What "Zozzone" you are!
To make a girl pregnant,
father, it does not take too much coaxing.
Just one-shot deal.
Lucy was there, as beautiful as the sun,
China to rinse clothes.
- I came from behind the e. ..
- Oh! Do not go into details!
- Was to make you understand, father ...
- I understand, I am a man.
- Be serious. - You owe me swear
when I die, I say to my brother.
To get the awareness,
you mean everything to your brother.
And how about this
family now lives in peace?
- But I have repented and want to pay.
- Yes, but this is not so.
We do one thing:
I absolve you here on earth, okay?
Then you will pay in the hereafter, and if anything ...
If you do not say anything to your brother,
basically doing a good deed.
- At most, you'll have 30 or 40 years
purgatory. - So let's stay like this?
We are so good.
- Now you're clean.
- Lieutenant! Lieutenant! - Oh!
We are so
if there's any chance ...
... If not smoke cigarettes I'ultima
like in the movie "Goodbye Kira."
Give me a cigarette.
Good job.
Well done, the cemetery is done.
Now we have to fill it.
Autiere, let's go!
- Here we go.
- Brother Simeon, let us the miracle.
What? Multiply-fish.
- The miracle done by I'ho

You ass! This ended with the
cartload first embarked in Tripoli.

Within three months,
Moscow, the Germans have in hand.

Major? - Yes, why?
It says here: "The mayor
Cecina, Arturo Pandolfi ... "
"... Was killed in the bombing
his cottage at Calafuria ... "
"... With her cousin Lucy Strucchi".
- You did not know that Lucy was dead?
- But not with his cousin Arthur.
- What were they doing in that house?
- Will be gone for a swim.
No. .. Here it says: ...
... "This cowardly attack was English
launched in the middle of the night. "
- Want to see his cousin Arturo ...
- A little 'respect, are dead.
- They were also relatives. - There's stuff
more divine 'Bonehead' Cousin.
And more would die for a
whore? We must tell him now.
Are you crazy? In a desperate man say
that his wife has put the horns?
- Do not do it. - Maybe it passes
despair, he comforts a little '.
In your opinion, is a consolation
knowing that his wife is a whore?
Enough! The dead must be respected.
Careful, Pilotto, you break even
Other one arm. Cook the fish.
Still the case? Watch the Minotaur
has already reached Mektili.
- Another time? - I will give order to the
soon to fall back on Agedabia.
But we must always show
the Germans, who run away first?
- The Fourth regiment has already Sik
Giarabub exceeded. - They took it?
And how is lightning war and we can not
trust the Libyans. Vai, autiere!
It's lightning war, you know?
- And who are they?
- Arab. - And what are they doing up there?
Expect us to leave, so
steal what we have left.
That carrion! It makes me burn your ass
freghino the fact that our stuff.
- What have you got left? - The brawn
I sent my mother!
- Keep. Stop! - Where does it go?
Come, sir! Where to go?
- He stopped the column. - What it does,
more? - We can not stop.
Still, more, here come the thieves.
Here ...
But what happens?

It was better
