The Second Wife (1998) - full transcript
Summer of 1957. Single mother Anna marries truckdriver Fosco and moves with her infant daughter Santina to a rural Tuscan coastal community where Fosco lives with his son, sensitive teen Livio. Fosco, who moonlights by robbing Etruscan graves of relics valued by art dealers, is jailed for theft and thrown in prison, a situation which draws Anna and Livio together into a passionate romance.
I bet you'd love to be in the bride's
place tonight, huh?
No, I didn't even like it the first time!
Long live the happy couple!
We always said Fosco had women
in Sicily, too
We thought she was one of the many
He married her, though
I'm so glad
Handsome!
I got lipstick on you
He must be in love
Why else would be have married
a single mother?
Eliana, you lost out
At least the little girl will have
a real family now
She'll be fine with Fosco
Some women settle for such misfits
just to get married
He made a pretty good choice
He sure did
He wore the first one out, but this time
it'll be him
No, he'll make it
I'll take care of it
Santina, if you're staying
at Aunt Fernanda's for a week
We'll have to get to know each other
She said she's going to be good, right?
Where I live there's a puppy
bunny rabbits
And Uncle Moreno will imitate all kinds
of animals for you
Moreno, do a turtle for her
Fernanda, you're going to have to
play Mommy this time
I don't mind
I would've had ten kids if I had my way
He's the one who can't do the job
My darling little plucked chicken!
He has other good points, though
Fosco, are we going to take this picture?
She certainly is pretty
But she's annoying when she talks
like all Sicilians are
She doesn't have to stump anybody
when she's in bed
Focus in on them good
Now a picture with Livio. Come here
Come on, move it
Let's play the happy family
Why are you wearing those glasses?
The sun Bothers me
You look blind
You see, Anna, he's not happy
if he isn't original
Come on, a group picture
Make sure they're good, Sirio
or I'm not paying
Get down, ladies
That's it, good. Like a soccer team
Look how cute. It looks like
they're taking a whiz
We'll be in Florence by 10:00
Then tomorrow morning
we'll take the train and off to Paris!
With my darling in Paris!
Fosco!
Who's that pain in the neck?
What is it?
Come down
Now? We're about to leave
J ust come take a look, then leave
Coming
Ten, twenty minutes and I'll be back
Wait for me
I'll tell you everything later
I'm stupider than you are
We worked on it two nights
At least get some satisfaction
I'll go get the car
No, sit on the bar
I'll play the girlfriend
Hang on Go slow
Watch the holes. You'll clobber my balls
Not to worry, I'll lend you mine
That way I'll get to try out
your new bride
You haven't any left?
No, he got called away
They're waiting for me
I have to get changed
Go on, don't worry
What do you want us to bring you
from Paris?
Brigitte Bardot
Red
Well?
Well, my ass. It's empty!
We even left the reception early!
To hell with you and your graves!
I'm coming down
We got the raw deal again this time, too!
Damn it all!
Watch it, you'll ruin your suit
Hold on Come on, baby
Dad!
What did you find? Quiet!
Put that light out
What do they want? The carabinieri!
Carabinieri! Come on out!
We're done for if they catch us
Run, Duilio! They knew
There were waiting!
I'll never make it!
I've always said the old should
stay home
Got'em
Both of them
We're going to end up staying here
all night
What are you laughing about?
Where did you book? At the Excelsior?
What a honeymoon!
You mean a "crappymoon"!
Me and these four idiots up to our knees
in water
Wake up
Come on, wake up
What time is it?
It's late
I don't know, but it's late
I'm sorry
I got held up
We'll leave in the morning
What are you doing?
What am I doing?
Why don't we play doctor?
What do you say?
What do you think I'll do?
I'll undress you
I'll do it
Why?
I like undressing you
What have you been up to?
Up to?
Nothing
Stay still. Be good
Where are they?
Here they are
I don't like these. They're too ladylike
Put them down
We'll buy some nicer things in Paris
No, wait
I'm all sweaty
Look at the state I'm in
Plus I like it... - a little smell
Sweetheart
Giuliano, did you get picked for
Double or nothing?
Not yet, but I'm learning! I'm up
to Count Ugolino!
He lifted his mouth from his proud plate... -
Last one in is a foggot!
That doesn't count!
Let's go eat
Livio, Stella left you another love letter
I'll read it
Come on, Trepeli
Here we go. "My darling
I saw you last night at the rec room"
She spelled it with a "K"
What a jackass
You were gorgeous
I'd take her for a spin if I were you
Come on, get on. She's a little thick
but... -
Put some corks in her mouth
At least she won't talk
So upon reaching his father's house
Cronus, overcome with rage
took the dagger and castrated him
Then he hurted the male attribute
into the sea
Which immediately became covered
in form
This is how Aphrodite, the most beautiful
of all women, was born
Or Venus, which is the same thing
See? Even in mythology, like in the Bible
You women are always born from
a little piece of us men
You know, Gedeone, without that thing
you can't do a thing!
We always have to hear
these ancient stories
Tell us about a movie
A nice love story with feeling
With him, her, and the other, the one
who comes back
We women like to suffer a little
We like to cry
There's a customer at the gas pump
I'm coming!
Kids, enough of that chalk!
With the national bike race on they're
always in the way
Santina, why don't you go play
with the kids?
Men and Women are allowed to mingle
around here
We're not in the south anymore
She's just joking. Don't mind her
Look at that beauty. It'd take Fosco's
aim to move it
He's got other things on his mind
I bet he's going all out in Paris
I bet he goes on duty at night and stops
in the morning
With a woman like that, just imagine the
sweat Fosco is working up
Not a chance. He'll even do overtime
in the afternoon!
You'd think he'd get a bonus
I think life starts on some star up there
in the sky
Awesome. All those dinosaurs
in line humping with a schlong like this
Is that all you think about?
Are we going to play?
Wake up, Livio. Come on
Remember when he locked himself in the
hotel with that blonde from Pordenone?
He went to the front desk
when he got downstairs and said
Take an ice pack up to the missus!
He wore her right out!
The poor thing was bowlegged
for three days
Wait, Santina, don't run!
Mommy!
Mommy's little angel
I missed you so much
Let me see how pretty you've gotten
Now that Mommy's back, you don't even
look at me
You're choking me. I can't breathe
Your poor aunt. Bad girl
You're still sucking your thumb?
The other hand's on the boobs
She tried that on me, too
but there's no satisfaction in my boobs
you know
How was she?
A darling
We always slept in the same bed
didn't we?
It was like having a doll
It's so hot
It's been two or three days now that
this heat broke out
It takes your breath away
Take off your stockings
How can you wear those stocking?
This is for you
Thank you
It's too much
Fosco picked it
It looks terribly expensive
What a silly man
Tell me something
How did it go with Fosco?
Fine
What about his personality?
There are still some things
I don't understand him
He's weird, just like all men
He's got a certain flair
I just know he'll make you happy
won't he?
We're back. At least come and say hello
I didn't hear you
When are you going to cut this girly hair?
Here
A little gift from Paris
I'm convinced women like it just
as much as we men do
No, but nature, women get into it more
If you promise a woman not
to tell anyone... -
On the average, how long do you think
a man can... - with a woman?
It depends
Twenty, thirty minutes. It depends
With a woman like that, even an hour
and a half
Out of 20 minutes, you'd have
18 left over
Livio! Here comes Gea
Your father wants you! The demijohns
have to be filled up
At your age, I always hung
around older guys
You're always with younger guys
though
It must mean something
Pass 'em here
Anna, tell us about Paris. I beg you had
such a good time
Did Fosco show you around
the Eiffel Tower?
Or did you stay locked up in the hotel
all day?
Matella, what kind of question is that?
We came up for air every once in a while
Did you go to any nightclubs?
Yes, we even went to see striptease
The whole works? Yup
Paris
Men dressed up like women?
Coccunelle! No
They say it's a man, but it's all for show
She's all woman to the bone
He's got a pecker. It might only be
this little but it's still there
Nature's phenomena
It's the spice of life
Did you think it works?
It must do something
At least a good ticket
J ust right to start with for you
There are kids here!
We're taking a trip next year to Paris
with our priest
It's time for a smoke now
Then we'll take them down
and start over again
Why?
Why? Because you did it wrong
Me?
Which did you pass me when I told you
to pass me the demijohns?
The ones that were here
You got it wrong. You should've
passed me the big ones first
then the little ones
I know you. You didn't want to start
with the heavy ones
so you passed me the small ones
You see now?
They don't fit
What?
They've got to be taken down
Do you need a hand?
It takes brains even to load up a truck
Why didn't you tell me before?
Because you have to learn!
Wouldn't I have learned just the same
if you told me?
You have to run into things
to get them right
We've only played around so far
Let's try to get it right now
I don't want some guy
like your dead-weight uncle in my house
Your mother was enough for me
Hand them to me!
Take it easy. You'll break it
It's oil. It's bad luck
You want me to kill myself in the truck?
You could have told him the same thing
with more respect
He's used to it. He doesn't even notice
He must learn to defend himself
That's not easy with you
I can't do this hand
You cut them for me
You humiliated him in front of
all those women
Livio is a sensitive boy
Are you his lawyer, his mother, what?
You already have a daughter
Isn't that enough?
You're mad
Look at my Sicilian. J ust arrived and
already criticizing
Poor Fosco
I'll end up having a butch for a wife
What's a butch?
A woman who busts a man's balls 'cause
she has more than he does
You're right
Come here!
My pretty darling!
You want to feel another sensitive guy?
Knock it off, Fosco!
I'm away for three days
You're in for it tonight
Sensitive
Bye, sweetheart!
Watch out, don't let the Sicilian
take the chair out from under you
What's yours, stays yours
Oh, Sicilian, insolent, voluptuos matron... -
What does he do? Act!
...- at the breezy windows
of the seaside village
You're spitting all over yourself
like a baby
You're supposed to take your
nerve medicine before you eat
Classical Mediterranean Woman
of the Sea
Has marriage done your dad good?
Sort of
I get it. He still gets on your back
No, I've learned how to defend myself
That's not enough
What do I do, kill him?
It's not easy with Fosco
It was covered with dirt
It doesn't matter
There's darkness and silence in the body
Santina and I waited for you to eat
I ate at my uncle's house
Maybe if you had told me... -
I'm sorry
I'm going to my room
They're up to no good
If someone shows you disrespect
just tell Fosco, and he'll take care of it
Santina, a storm is brewing!
Look at those billows!
See how the ship sways?
Help!
A waterspout! Watch out, Pluto!
He fell overboard, poor Pluto
We'll never see him again
I'll throw a rope down for him
Why aren't you in your room?
Livio is reading me Mickey Mouse
It's time for bed
Go on, Santina. No, finish first
Come here with us
J ust for a minute
Holy mackerel. What's going on
Captain?
We're in the Sea of Ghosts
Here comes the flying Dutchman's ship
See all those torn sails?
Look how the helm is spinning around
I like having a big brother like Livio
Look how Pluto is staring at
that mean crocodile
What's he going to do to Pluto
rip off his tail or his arm?
It's Fosco He said he'd be back tonight
He's got a young wife, you know
It seems to me you've put a spell on him
Look at this dust!
Howdy, girls. It's Wanda at your service
You look like a gypsy
I even put some lace underwear on
I can't show you them, though
You'd be shocked
I wouldn't!
I never say no when there's something
big to see
You see her? That's Antonella
She sings in the choir with Livio. I think
they like each other
She looks like a nice girl
Yes
But her father is a real piece of shit
When I was a partisan struggling
to drive out the Fascists and Germans
he was running the black market
ripping people of
I wouldn't want to end up
with that asshole as a father-in-law
Piece of shit
Beautiful lady
I like this song
It give me the blues
2:00 No, 3:00
Okay, sulky
There, 3:00
Let's go outside for a while
Do you read these stories often?
Every once in a while
Do you like them?
Yes, they're amusing
They're kind of ridiculous, though
Yes, you're right. They're a bit idle
In real life people probably
don't have time
for all these complicated love stories
But like them because they're romantic
But love isn't complicated
in Romanticism
It's pain
Pain?
Pain is what puts feelings on a pedestal
and turns them into poetry
It's internal pain
Pain is in the soul
That means Romanticism is even
more exaggerated than picture stories!
Go on, get down
Tell me something
Is there ever real love in picture stories
or Romanticism?
Is there ever a man who says to a woman, "Eat me?"
Eat me?
Eat me
Santina, I said "eat"
It's what you do with food
Come, let me spin you around
Livio used to cry when I did it to him
He was scared I'd drop him
Come on, get dressed
We're off to the races
Are you coming with us?
No, I'll watch them from uncle's terrace
I see
He's going to watch them from above
The Miss is here
Look how he parades her around
Your dad wants everyone to envy him
He had her dress like that
so all his friends can see
That's the kind of bullshit kids
or older farts do
Livio! Come on down!
Moroccan!
I'm going down with them
Go on
All right, then
I'm going to stand here and gossip a little
too
Goodness, what roses Pretty, hun?
She walks too straight, though
She's the kind that doesn't move her ass
Neck yes, ass no
It's an art
You don't learn those things
I'd give her the once-over if I were a man
Look at that stack
Fosco outdid himself
but underneath it all, she's just a little girl
Looking for love like all of us
Ready?
Go!
Give it to me, Fosco! Give it to me!
Quiet, guys
Let me see it
What a beauty!
Guys, there's even gold!
Look, he's singing a lullaby
"Off to sleep you go
my little chickades"
This is worth a few million
We'll only sell it good abroad
I have to go to Milan on Thursday
I'll give the Swiss guy a call
What does the Swiss man say?
Guten Tag
That queer always said, "Call me
if you find any human or animal figures
I pay more than everybody."
A new TV and fridge is a drop in the
bucket with this
You can even buy a new wife!
I have to think about a college
for my son
He's only ten years old!
I plan ahead
Money is what you need to survive
It takes more than that to live
You think like a rich man
You're just jealous
Remember when we came here
As partisans
They're taking the piss out of me
The kids want to see the gold statues
Who told her?
I don't know
Maybe she overheard me talking
to Fernanda
Good job. Well done, really
Couldn't you have kept quiet?
We weren't talking loud So I see
I thought you were taught to be quiet
in the south
Everybody knows about it anyway
Speak up
Everybody knows you found
something valuable
Why don't we go to the radio, then
television
put it in the paper?
What are you afraid of?
Robbing graves is like a second job
around here
Lots of you do it. It's a conspiracy
of silence
You don't approve, do you?
I just think it's odd
Why?
You, Duilio, and Cicala raised
such a stink as partisans, and then... -
Stink? What do you mean?
All those sacrifices, ideals
We did our part!
We did what we had to do!
We had to drive the enemy out
and we did!
We risked our lives for your sake, too!
Got it?
To give you a better life!
Who said you didn't?
Who's doubting it?
You've been saying the same thing
for ages!
I even know it by heart
Then what's so odd about it?
Let's hear it. Speak up
Let's hear your squeaky little voice
All your principles, lectures
Then you go sell what's everyone's to the
first asshole who pays for it
He might even be an enemy
who shot at you!
It's odd. Admit it
You're right
We're a bunch of jerks
Me, Duilio, Cicala
We're plain pitiful
We thought we did something good
but instead we're traitors
I needed someone like you
to open my eyes
Our little teacher has taught us
a good lesson
Can we change the subject?
Santina, give me a tug on the ear
The teacher said I'm bad
Tug hard! Harder!
It's useless
If you don't like something
you act like an ass
Ass?
Don't you dare call me that
I just might forget you're a boy
and punch your face in
Got it?
You stupid little puissant
He's read three books and now
he thinks he can judge the world
the idiot
Take him something to eat
Go
Here, eat something
You catch the fireflies
we'll put them under here
And tomorrow morning there'll be money
instead of fireflies
That means I can get a perm
A perm! At six years old?
You're on the right track
Are you coming to catch fireflies
with us?
Go on, run along
Careful, don't go in the road!
Look at the fireflies this year
Yes, they're all over
What's wrong?
Nothing
I don't feel like traveling anymore
After all, I've found the one who's
going to tame me
Firefly, firefly, come over here
The king says, "Have no fear" "Fear not"
say the king and queen
I haven't figured you out yet
I'm peeling all over with this sun
Don't change the subject
You like it, you don't like it... -
Sometimes you intimidate me
Really?
It doesn't seem that way to me
Take him with you
Who? Livio
Talk to him
Be a father
I wanted to get up to no good, but no
you have to go and get serious
Promise?
There's no way I can this time
Last one out pays for drinks!
I dreamt I became a priest last night
They wanted to send me to a seminary
to study. Yeah, right here
Instead of the church benches
there were mattresses with women on top
and they all had a towel over their face
Like this, look
They were all saying, "Come, come!"
Look, I'm getting hard
I didn't know which to pick, so in the end
I picked any old one
I took the tower off her face
and you know who it was?
Brigitte Bardot!
It was my sister! It was too late by then
though
If I had a sister like yours, I'd go for it
in a minute
Nothing compares to a lay
with your sister in the hays!
I'd even go for an aunt, a niece
a grandmother!
You don't have those problems, do you?
With a girl like Anna at home
You can tell us
We won't tell anybody
We understand you
It's Stella!
Take a good look, Stella!
What are you doing up there?
You want to come up?
I can't
When there's nothing under my feet... -
I always have to have my feet
on the ground
It was so hot today
At least you can breathe up here
Did you read about Venice?
Fifteen people died
This is the kind of summer
you remember when you're old
Remember how hot it was in the summer
of '57?
It'll end, it'll end
Darn mosquitoes
How do you... - see me?
What do you mean?
As a relative or a friend?
As Fosco's son
I know that
But if you had to make a comparison... -
I don't know a brother?
I haven't talked to my brother in ages
A cousin Yes
My cousin Antonio
What's he like? Older
He used to stop and visit once in a while
on Sunday
He was so gorgeous
He didn't even notice me
I always wrote about him
in my school compositions
All my classmates used to tease me
Then he moved to Australia
Who knows what he's like now?
I get it
You were slightly in love
What? In love?
Good night, Tarzan. In love!
I'll drown you!
Sorry! You want a war?
I still have some water
I'll throw it at you
Sorry, I didn't mean to!
Stop it, Livio!
Let's go, Arduina
We'll catch pneumonia
Help!
It's check up time!
Come on, girls
let's give Livio a checkup!
He'll show us his pecker
He'll show us all!
You'll hurt him
Stop! I give in!
Come here, it's time for a nap
Come here, you bullfighter
Let's go, my little bullfighter
I'm going to get you!
Careful. You'll knock them over
I'm marrying Livio when I grow up
You're going to marry him?
When you're grown up
Livio will be an old man
Fosco is old, too
but you still married him
He's your brother!
No, because you're not Livio's mother
and I'm not Fosco's daughter
You still can't marry him, though
I'm going to run away with Livio when
I'm grown up and make him kidnap me
You're going to be kidnapped?
Listen to her!
Fosco's been arrested
Don't worry, you'll see
Fosco will be home tomorrow
You'll see
Who said I found it in a grave?
It's been at home for ages
Who brought it?
Our grandpa, our great-great grandpa
I don't know Who says he didn't?
I'll fool them. I'll just say I thought
it was an old crock
I only had it with me to prop up
the demijohns
Sit down
This guy is really on my back
I've got the perfect excuse
They won't keep me in here long
How are you doing?
How do you think I'm doing? Fine
I'm clean. How can they say I traffic
in works of art?
They don't have any proof. Three, four
days and I'll be home
Don't worry, I'll fool them
I'd talk to a lawyer
When the time comes, if I need to... -
Maybe I could talk to Uncle Umberto
There's a good one
Well? Yes, sit down
Maybe just for some advice
I said no!
Say it again and I'll really get pissed!
Don't worry, honey
Do I go for the big point?
Let's hope so. Try
I say you can't do it
Not this time
When you're done playing
we'd like to talk to you
That is, if we're not disturbing
I think about him all the time
I can't even sleep at night
Nobody can sleep in this heat
Then you tell us what we're supposed
to do
Go bug some big-shot politician
in the party!
We can't involve people from the party
for something like this
They wanted to give him
a gold medal before
He just needs some help now
Give me a drag
You're making me start smoking again
The party can't go out on a limb
We'll all get a bad rap
Sure, it's doing Fosco a lot of good
to be in jail
Let's go
Here, you smoke it
I haven't smoked in two years
The marshal
She's asking us. We're just a bother
Who's going to listen to us?
What happened?
Nothing
I did it myself, like an idiot
I was mending a sock and... -
I hit myself right in the eye
I could've come up with a better one
Have a seat
I got in an argument and hit a guard
I just can't bite my tongues
Tell me about you
How are you?
Isn't there a doctor here?
Did you have it looked at?
Let's get things straight!
If you have to play the pain-stricken
Sicilian lady, stay home
I won't put up with it
I want you to give me some happiness
Like you give me cigarettes, like you
give me chocolate
I want you to give me a smile
Come dressed nice. At least at night I'll
dream of you and get off on it
What's that face for?
You come here with a long face and
leave the same way
Thank goodness I'm not dead yet
I don't want to die
A man who can break me has yet
to be born
There you go
Start crying now
That'll make things better
Are you coming dancing with us?
It's Livio's birthday today
No, honey, you go
Aren't you even going to ask me
how your father is
How nice of you
How's my brother doing?
What did he tell you?
Did you have to have a party
while Fosco is in jail?
Yes, our boy is having a birthday
And I care about my nephews
We're not cry-babies around here
You either sink or swim!
Sicilians!
You wanted her, now you've got her
Excuse me
I wanted to say... -
Don't worry, we'll clean everything up
when we're done
Go on, go
I have to get changed
Wait, I'll help you
We didn't make too much noise
I came by to wish you happy birthday
Close your fly in the front
I never sleep. I just can't
I get so restless in bed
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'll go to the cemetery
and take some flowers
to your poor mother
I locked Renata out in the terrace!
I'm leaving her there all night!
He's just kidding
Sometimes the things he says
just don't make sense
He keeps insisting he was the one
who sent Fosco to jail
He says he called the IRS
He says he did it for you
Can you imagine if he tells the Sicilian
or Fernanda that?
What did Red want?
He came to say they found
someone who's going to help Fosco
Someone important
He'll be back soon, you'll see
Good
At least I had some breathing room
What?
Red isn't someone with a lot of scruples
After Fosco, he's the biggest
Don J uan around
What are you saying?
I just said it so you'd know
Here. No, I want it off like this!
It has to come off this way!
Stop it!
Aren't you ashamed?
It didn't last as long as it usual does
this time
Unfortunately
that's the way this disease is
One relapse, then another, and it's off
to the insane asylum
The same thing happened
to his grandfather. Remember?
When there's insanity in your blood
that's the way it is
It's almost 2:00
Why don't you go to bed?
It's useless
I just pretend to be like everybody else
Fosco is right
We're just alike
What are you saying?
What's gotten into you?
I'm scared
Hold me, please
I always get stuck with the dirty work
You're used to it
They're queens and I'm the mule
Gedeone, can't you hear somebody's
coming?
Here I come
We put enough salt in, don't you think?
It'll be too salty if we add any more
right?
Anna, I don't think there are
enough bottles
Will you go get some clean ones
in the kitchen?
Santina, come fill the bottles up
I'll show you how
Climb up here
Be careful with her
What are you doing?
There's something in my eye
I'll take care of it
Let me see
All gone
What's wrong?
I think I have a fever
Well, what about the bottles?
What do you want? Nothing
There was a ladybug in your hair
It's good luck
Let me by At least let's talk about it
What's there to talk about?
Nothing happened
I have other things on my mind
You're driving the three-wheeler
this morning?
Yes, and I want to learn how to
drive the truck, too
That's the spirit
You women can't just sit around
doing needlework and petting yourselves
I'm coming to pick you up later tonight
Later and later! I think you're cheating
on me!
Get up and get out of here
You have to leave me alone
Don't try anything on me again
I fell asleep
You can't harass me like this
You have to leave me alone
I didn't realize
Don't ever do it again
Livio said he's taking us
to the movies tonight
No, we can't go tonight
Take her, go on
At least you'll have some fun
She's right
Livio, talk her into it
It's not easy
If your mom doesn't want to... -
You know what we'll do?
We'll be quiet as mice
And then we'll try asking her later
I said no. When I say no, it's no!
Come here, now!
Look what a mess. You're all sweaty
You lost out this time
You meanie!
I want to sleep at your house tonight
Okay, but don't cry
And apologize to your mom
Don't ever turn Santina against me again
Don't even try it. Look at me!
You're going to Fernanda's tomorrow
You can't come here
until your father's back
Either you go alone, or I'll drag you
there by the hair
You can't stay here anymore
That means you're in love, too
That doesn't count. Take it easy!
Mind the rules. I'm a flyweight
You mean a weenie weight
Here comes the scooters!
Get out of here with that junk
And you said you souped up
the carburettor
It's not the scooter, it's the driver
It was his fault. He cut me of twice
I won
The drinks are on me
Where? The rec room is closed
at this hour
What are you doing?
You guys stink!
How much do you bet I can do 50
of these?
Eleven, twelve
thirteen, fourteen
fifteen
Come here, Moroccan
Go call Stella!
Come join us
Come on!
Don't! Livio's there
Are you still remembering?
What are you remembering?
A ship is on its way loaded with... -
No, Stella, no
Go away
Take it easy. Don't be scared
Don't worry, I'm leaving right now
Immediately
Wait
Come here
Let me take a look Stop it
What did you do to yourself?
I'll get a few things and leave
I'm going to Renata's
because that's where I belong
We've got the same brain
My uncle and I are just alike
We're both the same... we're crazy
We've got the same screwed-up brain
I'll get changed and leave
I'm leaving right now
What am I supposed to do now?
I'm calling Fernanda Call her!
Who cares? Call whoever you want
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
I have nothing else to lose
Leave it alone I'll do it
Let me have a look
I didn't come looking for you
You're the one who came here
What am I supposed to do?
Look what you did to yourself
I love you
What can I do if I love you?
I don't want to hear it
I can't do it
I'm hurting
I don't care
Please Be quiet
Once... - just once and that's it
Then I'll leave
I'll go away and never come back
You won't see me again
Just once
Let me... - catch my breath
Then I'll leave
I'll leave
At least one of us will have some peace
and quiet
I give up
I'll leave you alone
Even if you go, what difference
will it make?
We're in the same boat for once
It's useless to fight it
Follow me, ma'am
Come on, little guys
Help me impress her
I picked them in the courtyard
They grow on the walls
I saw them and... -
You kind of go back to being young
in here
What's wrong?
If you feel like crying, cry
I won't get mad, I promise
Outsides it's... -
It's August
J ust yesterday I was thinking
About when Livio was born
and as usual I wasn't there
It's the first time I thought about it
It must mean I miss him
I miss you all, but Livio... I must say
I miss him
I guess I've got the blues
How do I look gray?
I'm more interesting
Right?
Got you!
Sorry about that
Pay up
What are you doing here?
She didn't see anything
I checked to make sure. I closed myself
in the closet
and all you can see through the keyhole
are legs
Thank goodness
She saw us
She's nuts, though
Even if she tells somebody
who'd believe her?
What now?
What do we do?
What do we do?
We'll become invisible
We'll go back to being kids together
We'll be born ten years later
That's better
We'll stop the whole world
and it'll just be you and me all alone
We could even die together if you want
What wind! Goodness gracious!
I'm flying!
It'd be a miracle if you could fly!
A little fresh air will do your
beavers good
It'll get the cobwebs out!
Wind, wind
Take me away with you
We'll go to the heavens together
Without any regrets
Forgetting our betrayal
Wind, wind
I'm going to close the windows
with this wind
I was coming up to close them
There's such a draft
What's wrong?
Fosco is coming home tomorrow
My little Fosco!
And what are you doing, jumping out the
window for joy?
Help me
I don't know what to do
Why are you telling me this garbage?
I have to tell someone
Fosco is never to find out
He comes back, and what does he find?
He doesn't deserve this humiliation
But I want to be truthful with him
Truthful! Now she has a conscience
I can't cope with all this pain inside
Don't you say a word!
A woman who goes to bed
with a snotty-nosed brat
Has to have the guts to be a whore
Otherwise she's a fool
Quiet, not a word!
Easy! Don't touch me
That's enough, guys
You've had your fun
Put me down
I want to kiss the sand, like Ulysees
No, alone
Stella
Why are you standing there in the water?
Do you have a minute?
I have to talk to you
Where are you going?
Santina is sleeping at your house tonight
I've got naughty ideas in mind tonight
I'm dangerous
I can't wait to get home
Hold me up, Livio
We're falling
You're hurting me!
Let me give you a hug
I know you and me have
never gotten along
You'll see, though
I promise
My head's in a daze
I was already confused before
Look at me now
Anna will get mad if I get the bed dirty
Anna, will you give me a kiss?
What's wrong with everybody tonight?
You're pretty quiet, huh?
Take that off. What is it?
Water and vinegar! What's this for?
I'm not Jesus on the cross, you know
I'm thirsty, dead thirsty
Stop right there
Anna will get it
She's the one who has to obey me
Right, Anna?
I want it nice and cold
Let it run for a while
That's it, sit down
Let's talk man to man
Listen, we'll be partners
I'll buy you a truck, a new one
Two trucks
What are you going to school for?
We'll expand the company
That way you'll go north
and I'll go south
You're not lacking in intelligence
You just have to be more clever
I'll teach you how to be clever
This jerk has always been a champ when
it comes to being clever
What's so funny?
Nothing
You don't look yourself with that thing
on your head
You look like a different man
Take it off
You look funny
What are we going to do?
We have to forgive and forget
If we don't
We'll spend the rest of our lives
standing in a corner
It's way too stupid
Plus I'm tired
I don't feel like getting all worked up
What are you waiting for
to bring him the water?
Go on
I don't want to hide myself
It's not right
Long live the happy couple
Take off your veil. You'll rip it
How pretty!
I wore a hat when I got married, but
I still long for a veil
I wore a handkerchief on my head
The same kind you use for your nose
There was a war on back then
Remember, darling Moreno?
Let me try it on. Don't ruin it
How do I look with a veil on?
You missed the boat a long time ago
That's what you think
You'll see, before I die
I'm going to marry Gedeone
right Reverend?
We'll keep each other company
and in the winter we'll play footsie
Pretty soon Antonella
will be wearing this. Right?
What's wrong, sweetheart?
The veil want in my eye
I put some eye drops in for you
One day they're kids, and the next day... -
Don't they look good together!
Pretty, refined
She's just perfect for Livio
She was made for him
God makes them and then mates them
J ust imagine what adorable kids
they'll have
Stay still
If I were you, I'd think twice
before having kids
Let them get married first!
Better now? Yes
What time is it? It's almost 4:00
You're coming to the movies
with us tonight aren't you?
What movie is playing?
A love story with a happy ending
The kind of story that makes us
women cry
The kind that makes us dream a little
I'll like it then
Don't forget your handkerchiefs
Are we going to take this picture?
Where does the father-in-law go?
The further, the better
place tonight, huh?
No, I didn't even like it the first time!
Long live the happy couple!
We always said Fosco had women
in Sicily, too
We thought she was one of the many
He married her, though
I'm so glad
Handsome!
I got lipstick on you
He must be in love
Why else would be have married
a single mother?
Eliana, you lost out
At least the little girl will have
a real family now
She'll be fine with Fosco
Some women settle for such misfits
just to get married
He made a pretty good choice
He sure did
He wore the first one out, but this time
it'll be him
No, he'll make it
I'll take care of it
Santina, if you're staying
at Aunt Fernanda's for a week
We'll have to get to know each other
She said she's going to be good, right?
Where I live there's a puppy
bunny rabbits
And Uncle Moreno will imitate all kinds
of animals for you
Moreno, do a turtle for her
Fernanda, you're going to have to
play Mommy this time
I don't mind
I would've had ten kids if I had my way
He's the one who can't do the job
My darling little plucked chicken!
He has other good points, though
Fosco, are we going to take this picture?
She certainly is pretty
But she's annoying when she talks
like all Sicilians are
She doesn't have to stump anybody
when she's in bed
Focus in on them good
Now a picture with Livio. Come here
Come on, move it
Let's play the happy family
Why are you wearing those glasses?
The sun Bothers me
You look blind
You see, Anna, he's not happy
if he isn't original
Come on, a group picture
Make sure they're good, Sirio
or I'm not paying
Get down, ladies
That's it, good. Like a soccer team
Look how cute. It looks like
they're taking a whiz
We'll be in Florence by 10:00
Then tomorrow morning
we'll take the train and off to Paris!
With my darling in Paris!
Fosco!
Who's that pain in the neck?
What is it?
Come down
Now? We're about to leave
J ust come take a look, then leave
Coming
Ten, twenty minutes and I'll be back
Wait for me
I'll tell you everything later
I'm stupider than you are
We worked on it two nights
At least get some satisfaction
I'll go get the car
No, sit on the bar
I'll play the girlfriend
Hang on Go slow
Watch the holes. You'll clobber my balls
Not to worry, I'll lend you mine
That way I'll get to try out
your new bride
You haven't any left?
No, he got called away
They're waiting for me
I have to get changed
Go on, don't worry
What do you want us to bring you
from Paris?
Brigitte Bardot
Red
Well?
Well, my ass. It's empty!
We even left the reception early!
To hell with you and your graves!
I'm coming down
We got the raw deal again this time, too!
Damn it all!
Watch it, you'll ruin your suit
Hold on Come on, baby
Dad!
What did you find? Quiet!
Put that light out
What do they want? The carabinieri!
Carabinieri! Come on out!
We're done for if they catch us
Run, Duilio! They knew
There were waiting!
I'll never make it!
I've always said the old should
stay home
Got'em
Both of them
We're going to end up staying here
all night
What are you laughing about?
Where did you book? At the Excelsior?
What a honeymoon!
You mean a "crappymoon"!
Me and these four idiots up to our knees
in water
Wake up
Come on, wake up
What time is it?
It's late
I don't know, but it's late
I'm sorry
I got held up
We'll leave in the morning
What are you doing?
What am I doing?
Why don't we play doctor?
What do you say?
What do you think I'll do?
I'll undress you
I'll do it
Why?
I like undressing you
What have you been up to?
Up to?
Nothing
Stay still. Be good
Where are they?
Here they are
I don't like these. They're too ladylike
Put them down
We'll buy some nicer things in Paris
No, wait
I'm all sweaty
Look at the state I'm in
Plus I like it... - a little smell
Sweetheart
Giuliano, did you get picked for
Double or nothing?
Not yet, but I'm learning! I'm up
to Count Ugolino!
He lifted his mouth from his proud plate... -
Last one in is a foggot!
That doesn't count!
Let's go eat
Livio, Stella left you another love letter
I'll read it
Come on, Trepeli
Here we go. "My darling
I saw you last night at the rec room"
She spelled it with a "K"
What a jackass
You were gorgeous
I'd take her for a spin if I were you
Come on, get on. She's a little thick
but... -
Put some corks in her mouth
At least she won't talk
So upon reaching his father's house
Cronus, overcome with rage
took the dagger and castrated him
Then he hurted the male attribute
into the sea
Which immediately became covered
in form
This is how Aphrodite, the most beautiful
of all women, was born
Or Venus, which is the same thing
See? Even in mythology, like in the Bible
You women are always born from
a little piece of us men
You know, Gedeone, without that thing
you can't do a thing!
We always have to hear
these ancient stories
Tell us about a movie
A nice love story with feeling
With him, her, and the other, the one
who comes back
We women like to suffer a little
We like to cry
There's a customer at the gas pump
I'm coming!
Kids, enough of that chalk!
With the national bike race on they're
always in the way
Santina, why don't you go play
with the kids?
Men and Women are allowed to mingle
around here
We're not in the south anymore
She's just joking. Don't mind her
Look at that beauty. It'd take Fosco's
aim to move it
He's got other things on his mind
I bet he's going all out in Paris
I bet he goes on duty at night and stops
in the morning
With a woman like that, just imagine the
sweat Fosco is working up
Not a chance. He'll even do overtime
in the afternoon!
You'd think he'd get a bonus
I think life starts on some star up there
in the sky
Awesome. All those dinosaurs
in line humping with a schlong like this
Is that all you think about?
Are we going to play?
Wake up, Livio. Come on
Remember when he locked himself in the
hotel with that blonde from Pordenone?
He went to the front desk
when he got downstairs and said
Take an ice pack up to the missus!
He wore her right out!
The poor thing was bowlegged
for three days
Wait, Santina, don't run!
Mommy!
Mommy's little angel
I missed you so much
Let me see how pretty you've gotten
Now that Mommy's back, you don't even
look at me
You're choking me. I can't breathe
Your poor aunt. Bad girl
You're still sucking your thumb?
The other hand's on the boobs
She tried that on me, too
but there's no satisfaction in my boobs
you know
How was she?
A darling
We always slept in the same bed
didn't we?
It was like having a doll
It's so hot
It's been two or three days now that
this heat broke out
It takes your breath away
Take off your stockings
How can you wear those stocking?
This is for you
Thank you
It's too much
Fosco picked it
It looks terribly expensive
What a silly man
Tell me something
How did it go with Fosco?
Fine
What about his personality?
There are still some things
I don't understand him
He's weird, just like all men
He's got a certain flair
I just know he'll make you happy
won't he?
We're back. At least come and say hello
I didn't hear you
When are you going to cut this girly hair?
Here
A little gift from Paris
I'm convinced women like it just
as much as we men do
No, but nature, women get into it more
If you promise a woman not
to tell anyone... -
On the average, how long do you think
a man can... - with a woman?
It depends
Twenty, thirty minutes. It depends
With a woman like that, even an hour
and a half
Out of 20 minutes, you'd have
18 left over
Livio! Here comes Gea
Your father wants you! The demijohns
have to be filled up
At your age, I always hung
around older guys
You're always with younger guys
though
It must mean something
Pass 'em here
Anna, tell us about Paris. I beg you had
such a good time
Did Fosco show you around
the Eiffel Tower?
Or did you stay locked up in the hotel
all day?
Matella, what kind of question is that?
We came up for air every once in a while
Did you go to any nightclubs?
Yes, we even went to see striptease
The whole works? Yup
Paris
Men dressed up like women?
Coccunelle! No
They say it's a man, but it's all for show
She's all woman to the bone
He's got a pecker. It might only be
this little but it's still there
Nature's phenomena
It's the spice of life
Did you think it works?
It must do something
At least a good ticket
J ust right to start with for you
There are kids here!
We're taking a trip next year to Paris
with our priest
It's time for a smoke now
Then we'll take them down
and start over again
Why?
Why? Because you did it wrong
Me?
Which did you pass me when I told you
to pass me the demijohns?
The ones that were here
You got it wrong. You should've
passed me the big ones first
then the little ones
I know you. You didn't want to start
with the heavy ones
so you passed me the small ones
You see now?
They don't fit
What?
They've got to be taken down
Do you need a hand?
It takes brains even to load up a truck
Why didn't you tell me before?
Because you have to learn!
Wouldn't I have learned just the same
if you told me?
You have to run into things
to get them right
We've only played around so far
Let's try to get it right now
I don't want some guy
like your dead-weight uncle in my house
Your mother was enough for me
Hand them to me!
Take it easy. You'll break it
It's oil. It's bad luck
You want me to kill myself in the truck?
You could have told him the same thing
with more respect
He's used to it. He doesn't even notice
He must learn to defend himself
That's not easy with you
I can't do this hand
You cut them for me
You humiliated him in front of
all those women
Livio is a sensitive boy
Are you his lawyer, his mother, what?
You already have a daughter
Isn't that enough?
You're mad
Look at my Sicilian. J ust arrived and
already criticizing
Poor Fosco
I'll end up having a butch for a wife
What's a butch?
A woman who busts a man's balls 'cause
she has more than he does
You're right
Come here!
My pretty darling!
You want to feel another sensitive guy?
Knock it off, Fosco!
I'm away for three days
You're in for it tonight
Sensitive
Bye, sweetheart!
Watch out, don't let the Sicilian
take the chair out from under you
What's yours, stays yours
Oh, Sicilian, insolent, voluptuos matron... -
What does he do? Act!
...- at the breezy windows
of the seaside village
You're spitting all over yourself
like a baby
You're supposed to take your
nerve medicine before you eat
Classical Mediterranean Woman
of the Sea
Has marriage done your dad good?
Sort of
I get it. He still gets on your back
No, I've learned how to defend myself
That's not enough
What do I do, kill him?
It's not easy with Fosco
It was covered with dirt
It doesn't matter
There's darkness and silence in the body
Santina and I waited for you to eat
I ate at my uncle's house
Maybe if you had told me... -
I'm sorry
I'm going to my room
They're up to no good
If someone shows you disrespect
just tell Fosco, and he'll take care of it
Santina, a storm is brewing!
Look at those billows!
See how the ship sways?
Help!
A waterspout! Watch out, Pluto!
He fell overboard, poor Pluto
We'll never see him again
I'll throw a rope down for him
Why aren't you in your room?
Livio is reading me Mickey Mouse
It's time for bed
Go on, Santina. No, finish first
Come here with us
J ust for a minute
Holy mackerel. What's going on
Captain?
We're in the Sea of Ghosts
Here comes the flying Dutchman's ship
See all those torn sails?
Look how the helm is spinning around
I like having a big brother like Livio
Look how Pluto is staring at
that mean crocodile
What's he going to do to Pluto
rip off his tail or his arm?
It's Fosco He said he'd be back tonight
He's got a young wife, you know
It seems to me you've put a spell on him
Look at this dust!
Howdy, girls. It's Wanda at your service
You look like a gypsy
I even put some lace underwear on
I can't show you them, though
You'd be shocked
I wouldn't!
I never say no when there's something
big to see
You see her? That's Antonella
She sings in the choir with Livio. I think
they like each other
She looks like a nice girl
Yes
But her father is a real piece of shit
When I was a partisan struggling
to drive out the Fascists and Germans
he was running the black market
ripping people of
I wouldn't want to end up
with that asshole as a father-in-law
Piece of shit
Beautiful lady
I like this song
It give me the blues
2:00 No, 3:00
Okay, sulky
There, 3:00
Let's go outside for a while
Do you read these stories often?
Every once in a while
Do you like them?
Yes, they're amusing
They're kind of ridiculous, though
Yes, you're right. They're a bit idle
In real life people probably
don't have time
for all these complicated love stories
But like them because they're romantic
But love isn't complicated
in Romanticism
It's pain
Pain?
Pain is what puts feelings on a pedestal
and turns them into poetry
It's internal pain
Pain is in the soul
That means Romanticism is even
more exaggerated than picture stories!
Go on, get down
Tell me something
Is there ever real love in picture stories
or Romanticism?
Is there ever a man who says to a woman, "Eat me?"
Eat me?
Eat me
Santina, I said "eat"
It's what you do with food
Come, let me spin you around
Livio used to cry when I did it to him
He was scared I'd drop him
Come on, get dressed
We're off to the races
Are you coming with us?
No, I'll watch them from uncle's terrace
I see
He's going to watch them from above
The Miss is here
Look how he parades her around
Your dad wants everyone to envy him
He had her dress like that
so all his friends can see
That's the kind of bullshit kids
or older farts do
Livio! Come on down!
Moroccan!
I'm going down with them
Go on
All right, then
I'm going to stand here and gossip a little
too
Goodness, what roses Pretty, hun?
She walks too straight, though
She's the kind that doesn't move her ass
Neck yes, ass no
It's an art
You don't learn those things
I'd give her the once-over if I were a man
Look at that stack
Fosco outdid himself
but underneath it all, she's just a little girl
Looking for love like all of us
Ready?
Go!
Give it to me, Fosco! Give it to me!
Quiet, guys
Let me see it
What a beauty!
Guys, there's even gold!
Look, he's singing a lullaby
"Off to sleep you go
my little chickades"
This is worth a few million
We'll only sell it good abroad
I have to go to Milan on Thursday
I'll give the Swiss guy a call
What does the Swiss man say?
Guten Tag
That queer always said, "Call me
if you find any human or animal figures
I pay more than everybody."
A new TV and fridge is a drop in the
bucket with this
You can even buy a new wife!
I have to think about a college
for my son
He's only ten years old!
I plan ahead
Money is what you need to survive
It takes more than that to live
You think like a rich man
You're just jealous
Remember when we came here
As partisans
They're taking the piss out of me
The kids want to see the gold statues
Who told her?
I don't know
Maybe she overheard me talking
to Fernanda
Good job. Well done, really
Couldn't you have kept quiet?
We weren't talking loud So I see
I thought you were taught to be quiet
in the south
Everybody knows about it anyway
Speak up
Everybody knows you found
something valuable
Why don't we go to the radio, then
television
put it in the paper?
What are you afraid of?
Robbing graves is like a second job
around here
Lots of you do it. It's a conspiracy
of silence
You don't approve, do you?
I just think it's odd
Why?
You, Duilio, and Cicala raised
such a stink as partisans, and then... -
Stink? What do you mean?
All those sacrifices, ideals
We did our part!
We did what we had to do!
We had to drive the enemy out
and we did!
We risked our lives for your sake, too!
Got it?
To give you a better life!
Who said you didn't?
Who's doubting it?
You've been saying the same thing
for ages!
I even know it by heart
Then what's so odd about it?
Let's hear it. Speak up
Let's hear your squeaky little voice
All your principles, lectures
Then you go sell what's everyone's to the
first asshole who pays for it
He might even be an enemy
who shot at you!
It's odd. Admit it
You're right
We're a bunch of jerks
Me, Duilio, Cicala
We're plain pitiful
We thought we did something good
but instead we're traitors
I needed someone like you
to open my eyes
Our little teacher has taught us
a good lesson
Can we change the subject?
Santina, give me a tug on the ear
The teacher said I'm bad
Tug hard! Harder!
It's useless
If you don't like something
you act like an ass
Ass?
Don't you dare call me that
I just might forget you're a boy
and punch your face in
Got it?
You stupid little puissant
He's read three books and now
he thinks he can judge the world
the idiot
Take him something to eat
Go
Here, eat something
You catch the fireflies
we'll put them under here
And tomorrow morning there'll be money
instead of fireflies
That means I can get a perm
A perm! At six years old?
You're on the right track
Are you coming to catch fireflies
with us?
Go on, run along
Careful, don't go in the road!
Look at the fireflies this year
Yes, they're all over
What's wrong?
Nothing
I don't feel like traveling anymore
After all, I've found the one who's
going to tame me
Firefly, firefly, come over here
The king says, "Have no fear" "Fear not"
say the king and queen
I haven't figured you out yet
I'm peeling all over with this sun
Don't change the subject
You like it, you don't like it... -
Sometimes you intimidate me
Really?
It doesn't seem that way to me
Take him with you
Who? Livio
Talk to him
Be a father
I wanted to get up to no good, but no
you have to go and get serious
Promise?
There's no way I can this time
Last one out pays for drinks!
I dreamt I became a priest last night
They wanted to send me to a seminary
to study. Yeah, right here
Instead of the church benches
there were mattresses with women on top
and they all had a towel over their face
Like this, look
They were all saying, "Come, come!"
Look, I'm getting hard
I didn't know which to pick, so in the end
I picked any old one
I took the tower off her face
and you know who it was?
Brigitte Bardot!
It was my sister! It was too late by then
though
If I had a sister like yours, I'd go for it
in a minute
Nothing compares to a lay
with your sister in the hays!
I'd even go for an aunt, a niece
a grandmother!
You don't have those problems, do you?
With a girl like Anna at home
You can tell us
We won't tell anybody
We understand you
It's Stella!
Take a good look, Stella!
What are you doing up there?
You want to come up?
I can't
When there's nothing under my feet... -
I always have to have my feet
on the ground
It was so hot today
At least you can breathe up here
Did you read about Venice?
Fifteen people died
This is the kind of summer
you remember when you're old
Remember how hot it was in the summer
of '57?
It'll end, it'll end
Darn mosquitoes
How do you... - see me?
What do you mean?
As a relative or a friend?
As Fosco's son
I know that
But if you had to make a comparison... -
I don't know a brother?
I haven't talked to my brother in ages
A cousin Yes
My cousin Antonio
What's he like? Older
He used to stop and visit once in a while
on Sunday
He was so gorgeous
He didn't even notice me
I always wrote about him
in my school compositions
All my classmates used to tease me
Then he moved to Australia
Who knows what he's like now?
I get it
You were slightly in love
What? In love?
Good night, Tarzan. In love!
I'll drown you!
Sorry! You want a war?
I still have some water
I'll throw it at you
Sorry, I didn't mean to!
Stop it, Livio!
Let's go, Arduina
We'll catch pneumonia
Help!
It's check up time!
Come on, girls
let's give Livio a checkup!
He'll show us his pecker
He'll show us all!
You'll hurt him
Stop! I give in!
Come here, it's time for a nap
Come here, you bullfighter
Let's go, my little bullfighter
I'm going to get you!
Careful. You'll knock them over
I'm marrying Livio when I grow up
You're going to marry him?
When you're grown up
Livio will be an old man
Fosco is old, too
but you still married him
He's your brother!
No, because you're not Livio's mother
and I'm not Fosco's daughter
You still can't marry him, though
I'm going to run away with Livio when
I'm grown up and make him kidnap me
You're going to be kidnapped?
Listen to her!
Fosco's been arrested
Don't worry, you'll see
Fosco will be home tomorrow
You'll see
Who said I found it in a grave?
It's been at home for ages
Who brought it?
Our grandpa, our great-great grandpa
I don't know Who says he didn't?
I'll fool them. I'll just say I thought
it was an old crock
I only had it with me to prop up
the demijohns
Sit down
This guy is really on my back
I've got the perfect excuse
They won't keep me in here long
How are you doing?
How do you think I'm doing? Fine
I'm clean. How can they say I traffic
in works of art?
They don't have any proof. Three, four
days and I'll be home
Don't worry, I'll fool them
I'd talk to a lawyer
When the time comes, if I need to... -
Maybe I could talk to Uncle Umberto
There's a good one
Well? Yes, sit down
Maybe just for some advice
I said no!
Say it again and I'll really get pissed!
Don't worry, honey
Do I go for the big point?
Let's hope so. Try
I say you can't do it
Not this time
When you're done playing
we'd like to talk to you
That is, if we're not disturbing
I think about him all the time
I can't even sleep at night
Nobody can sleep in this heat
Then you tell us what we're supposed
to do
Go bug some big-shot politician
in the party!
We can't involve people from the party
for something like this
They wanted to give him
a gold medal before
He just needs some help now
Give me a drag
You're making me start smoking again
The party can't go out on a limb
We'll all get a bad rap
Sure, it's doing Fosco a lot of good
to be in jail
Let's go
Here, you smoke it
I haven't smoked in two years
The marshal
She's asking us. We're just a bother
Who's going to listen to us?
What happened?
Nothing
I did it myself, like an idiot
I was mending a sock and... -
I hit myself right in the eye
I could've come up with a better one
Have a seat
I got in an argument and hit a guard
I just can't bite my tongues
Tell me about you
How are you?
Isn't there a doctor here?
Did you have it looked at?
Let's get things straight!
If you have to play the pain-stricken
Sicilian lady, stay home
I won't put up with it
I want you to give me some happiness
Like you give me cigarettes, like you
give me chocolate
I want you to give me a smile
Come dressed nice. At least at night I'll
dream of you and get off on it
What's that face for?
You come here with a long face and
leave the same way
Thank goodness I'm not dead yet
I don't want to die
A man who can break me has yet
to be born
There you go
Start crying now
That'll make things better
Are you coming dancing with us?
It's Livio's birthday today
No, honey, you go
Aren't you even going to ask me
how your father is
How nice of you
How's my brother doing?
What did he tell you?
Did you have to have a party
while Fosco is in jail?
Yes, our boy is having a birthday
And I care about my nephews
We're not cry-babies around here
You either sink or swim!
Sicilians!
You wanted her, now you've got her
Excuse me
I wanted to say... -
Don't worry, we'll clean everything up
when we're done
Go on, go
I have to get changed
Wait, I'll help you
We didn't make too much noise
I came by to wish you happy birthday
Close your fly in the front
I never sleep. I just can't
I get so restless in bed
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'll go to the cemetery
and take some flowers
to your poor mother
I locked Renata out in the terrace!
I'm leaving her there all night!
He's just kidding
Sometimes the things he says
just don't make sense
He keeps insisting he was the one
who sent Fosco to jail
He says he called the IRS
He says he did it for you
Can you imagine if he tells the Sicilian
or Fernanda that?
What did Red want?
He came to say they found
someone who's going to help Fosco
Someone important
He'll be back soon, you'll see
Good
At least I had some breathing room
What?
Red isn't someone with a lot of scruples
After Fosco, he's the biggest
Don J uan around
What are you saying?
I just said it so you'd know
Here. No, I want it off like this!
It has to come off this way!
Stop it!
Aren't you ashamed?
It didn't last as long as it usual does
this time
Unfortunately
that's the way this disease is
One relapse, then another, and it's off
to the insane asylum
The same thing happened
to his grandfather. Remember?
When there's insanity in your blood
that's the way it is
It's almost 2:00
Why don't you go to bed?
It's useless
I just pretend to be like everybody else
Fosco is right
We're just alike
What are you saying?
What's gotten into you?
I'm scared
Hold me, please
I always get stuck with the dirty work
You're used to it
They're queens and I'm the mule
Gedeone, can't you hear somebody's
coming?
Here I come
We put enough salt in, don't you think?
It'll be too salty if we add any more
right?
Anna, I don't think there are
enough bottles
Will you go get some clean ones
in the kitchen?
Santina, come fill the bottles up
I'll show you how
Climb up here
Be careful with her
What are you doing?
There's something in my eye
I'll take care of it
Let me see
All gone
What's wrong?
I think I have a fever
Well, what about the bottles?
What do you want? Nothing
There was a ladybug in your hair
It's good luck
Let me by At least let's talk about it
What's there to talk about?
Nothing happened
I have other things on my mind
You're driving the three-wheeler
this morning?
Yes, and I want to learn how to
drive the truck, too
That's the spirit
You women can't just sit around
doing needlework and petting yourselves
I'm coming to pick you up later tonight
Later and later! I think you're cheating
on me!
Get up and get out of here
You have to leave me alone
Don't try anything on me again
I fell asleep
You can't harass me like this
You have to leave me alone
I didn't realize
Don't ever do it again
Livio said he's taking us
to the movies tonight
No, we can't go tonight
Take her, go on
At least you'll have some fun
She's right
Livio, talk her into it
It's not easy
If your mom doesn't want to... -
You know what we'll do?
We'll be quiet as mice
And then we'll try asking her later
I said no. When I say no, it's no!
Come here, now!
Look what a mess. You're all sweaty
You lost out this time
You meanie!
I want to sleep at your house tonight
Okay, but don't cry
And apologize to your mom
Don't ever turn Santina against me again
Don't even try it. Look at me!
You're going to Fernanda's tomorrow
You can't come here
until your father's back
Either you go alone, or I'll drag you
there by the hair
You can't stay here anymore
That means you're in love, too
That doesn't count. Take it easy!
Mind the rules. I'm a flyweight
You mean a weenie weight
Here comes the scooters!
Get out of here with that junk
And you said you souped up
the carburettor
It's not the scooter, it's the driver
It was his fault. He cut me of twice
I won
The drinks are on me
Where? The rec room is closed
at this hour
What are you doing?
You guys stink!
How much do you bet I can do 50
of these?
Eleven, twelve
thirteen, fourteen
fifteen
Come here, Moroccan
Go call Stella!
Come join us
Come on!
Don't! Livio's there
Are you still remembering?
What are you remembering?
A ship is on its way loaded with... -
No, Stella, no
Go away
Take it easy. Don't be scared
Don't worry, I'm leaving right now
Immediately
Wait
Come here
Let me take a look Stop it
What did you do to yourself?
I'll get a few things and leave
I'm going to Renata's
because that's where I belong
We've got the same brain
My uncle and I are just alike
We're both the same... we're crazy
We've got the same screwed-up brain
I'll get changed and leave
I'm leaving right now
What am I supposed to do now?
I'm calling Fernanda Call her!
Who cares? Call whoever you want
Tell me what I'm supposed to do
I have nothing else to lose
Leave it alone I'll do it
Let me have a look
I didn't come looking for you
You're the one who came here
What am I supposed to do?
Look what you did to yourself
I love you
What can I do if I love you?
I don't want to hear it
I can't do it
I'm hurting
I don't care
Please Be quiet
Once... - just once and that's it
Then I'll leave
I'll go away and never come back
You won't see me again
Just once
Let me... - catch my breath
Then I'll leave
I'll leave
At least one of us will have some peace
and quiet
I give up
I'll leave you alone
Even if you go, what difference
will it make?
We're in the same boat for once
It's useless to fight it
Follow me, ma'am
Come on, little guys
Help me impress her
I picked them in the courtyard
They grow on the walls
I saw them and... -
You kind of go back to being young
in here
What's wrong?
If you feel like crying, cry
I won't get mad, I promise
Outsides it's... -
It's August
J ust yesterday I was thinking
About when Livio was born
and as usual I wasn't there
It's the first time I thought about it
It must mean I miss him
I miss you all, but Livio... I must say
I miss him
I guess I've got the blues
How do I look gray?
I'm more interesting
Right?
Got you!
Sorry about that
Pay up
What are you doing here?
She didn't see anything
I checked to make sure. I closed myself
in the closet
and all you can see through the keyhole
are legs
Thank goodness
She saw us
She's nuts, though
Even if she tells somebody
who'd believe her?
What now?
What do we do?
What do we do?
We'll become invisible
We'll go back to being kids together
We'll be born ten years later
That's better
We'll stop the whole world
and it'll just be you and me all alone
We could even die together if you want
What wind! Goodness gracious!
I'm flying!
It'd be a miracle if you could fly!
A little fresh air will do your
beavers good
It'll get the cobwebs out!
Wind, wind
Take me away with you
We'll go to the heavens together
Without any regrets
Forgetting our betrayal
Wind, wind
I'm going to close the windows
with this wind
I was coming up to close them
There's such a draft
What's wrong?
Fosco is coming home tomorrow
My little Fosco!
And what are you doing, jumping out the
window for joy?
Help me
I don't know what to do
Why are you telling me this garbage?
I have to tell someone
Fosco is never to find out
He comes back, and what does he find?
He doesn't deserve this humiliation
But I want to be truthful with him
Truthful! Now she has a conscience
I can't cope with all this pain inside
Don't you say a word!
A woman who goes to bed
with a snotty-nosed brat
Has to have the guts to be a whore
Otherwise she's a fool
Quiet, not a word!
Easy! Don't touch me
That's enough, guys
You've had your fun
Put me down
I want to kiss the sand, like Ulysees
No, alone
Stella
Why are you standing there in the water?
Do you have a minute?
I have to talk to you
Where are you going?
Santina is sleeping at your house tonight
I've got naughty ideas in mind tonight
I'm dangerous
I can't wait to get home
Hold me up, Livio
We're falling
You're hurting me!
Let me give you a hug
I know you and me have
never gotten along
You'll see, though
I promise
My head's in a daze
I was already confused before
Look at me now
Anna will get mad if I get the bed dirty
Anna, will you give me a kiss?
What's wrong with everybody tonight?
You're pretty quiet, huh?
Take that off. What is it?
Water and vinegar! What's this for?
I'm not Jesus on the cross, you know
I'm thirsty, dead thirsty
Stop right there
Anna will get it
She's the one who has to obey me
Right, Anna?
I want it nice and cold
Let it run for a while
That's it, sit down
Let's talk man to man
Listen, we'll be partners
I'll buy you a truck, a new one
Two trucks
What are you going to school for?
We'll expand the company
That way you'll go north
and I'll go south
You're not lacking in intelligence
You just have to be more clever
I'll teach you how to be clever
This jerk has always been a champ when
it comes to being clever
What's so funny?
Nothing
You don't look yourself with that thing
on your head
You look like a different man
Take it off
You look funny
What are we going to do?
We have to forgive and forget
If we don't
We'll spend the rest of our lives
standing in a corner
It's way too stupid
Plus I'm tired
I don't feel like getting all worked up
What are you waiting for
to bring him the water?
Go on
I don't want to hide myself
It's not right
Long live the happy couple
Take off your veil. You'll rip it
How pretty!
I wore a hat when I got married, but
I still long for a veil
I wore a handkerchief on my head
The same kind you use for your nose
There was a war on back then
Remember, darling Moreno?
Let me try it on. Don't ruin it
How do I look with a veil on?
You missed the boat a long time ago
That's what you think
You'll see, before I die
I'm going to marry Gedeone
right Reverend?
We'll keep each other company
and in the winter we'll play footsie
Pretty soon Antonella
will be wearing this. Right?
What's wrong, sweetheart?
The veil want in my eye
I put some eye drops in for you
One day they're kids, and the next day... -
Don't they look good together!
Pretty, refined
She's just perfect for Livio
She was made for him
God makes them and then mates them
J ust imagine what adorable kids
they'll have
Stay still
If I were you, I'd think twice
before having kids
Let them get married first!
Better now? Yes
What time is it? It's almost 4:00
You're coming to the movies
with us tonight aren't you?
What movie is playing?
A love story with a happy ending
The kind of story that makes us
women cry
The kind that makes us dream a little
I'll like it then
Don't forget your handkerchiefs
Are we going to take this picture?
Where does the father-in-law go?
The further, the better
