THE IMMORAL ONE

Miss! Excuse me, Miss!

How's my wife? Begun yet?

No, I already told you.
Be calm, she's fine.

So, no news? Nothing's changed?
- No, nothing.

But sometimes a patient
seems normal, all is fine,

but the baby can't come out. Why?
The cord wraps around.. - How absurd!

Suppose it comes out shoulder first?

See the baby comes out like this..
- Excuse me, everything is fine.

She needs rest above all.

Please sit in the waiting room. You
shouldn't be in the hall. - You're right.

Just one thing! If she wakes up,
I'll be in the waiting room.

She might need me.
- Alright. - Thanks.

Hello, Luisa, is that you? It's Papa.
Hello, Honey. Call Mama. Thanks.

Hi, it's me, Giulia.
You all ready?

You got it all done, suitcases packed?
Be there as soon as I'm done recording.

Right with you!
Wait one second, I'm coming!

Yes, it's the last tour, you understand?

Yeah, they're calling.
Coming!

Yeah, I'm fine.
Be right there in 20 minutes.

Bye, honey. So long.

Ah! There he is.

Pardon me, Doctor.
- Yes. - I'm..

You know Mrs. Malacugini who came
in about an hour ago?. - Ah, yes!

She's just fine. Don't worry.

Yes, but she's very young
and besides it's her first baby.

Better that way, isn't it?
Everything's fine.

The only thing your wife needs
is calm. Just let her rest a bit.

Could I see her?
- She's asleep, it'd be better not to..

It would upset you both.
Although, there's no cause to worry.

Then all is well:
She's young and healthy.

We prepared for it the best we could.
Yes, painless childbirth.

We practiced breathing everyday.

One, two, three: breathe in, breathe out.

Everyday, together.

Good! I bet you could give birth
yourself after doing all that!

Goodbye, dear.
- Goodbye!

Say, I need an hour to run
an errand. Can I? - Yes.

Take six or seven hours,
don't worry about it!

You'll have time to get everything done.
Bye. - Thanks, goodbye.

Miss, I'm going out for an hour,
but I'm counting on you. - Fine.

Tchaikovsky.

Here I am, it's me!

What are you laughing at, huh?
You little monkey!

Giulia!

And where is this lovely
lady with a hat on going?

The beach.
- The beach! The beach!

We'll feed all the fishes!

And what do you want? A somersault?

Look at the comic books I brought you:

One for you and one for you.

Here's some candy, so you won't
bother your mama on the train.

Giulia! The car's ready.

What have you got there?
- Nothing!

I saw you, you know.

What are you hiding?
- Nothing! - Let's see.

You're hiding something!
- Let me go! - Let me see!

You'll see it tonight.

For once, she writes
me and I can't see it.

Well, I didn't think you come back.

So, I left you a little note.

Why don't you say these things to me?

When?

You're never home now.

You always have so much work.

Your hair is so soft,
I love the smell of it.

I washed it this morning.

Riccardo, you're home?

Alright, fine. Give me a hand, OK?

I hope you're coming to say
bye to your mama too.

Why? Who said I wasn't coming?

Why, certainly he is.
He asked if he could.

I said no because of his studies.

After the exam, send me a
telegram and come down, OK?

Meanwhile, try to be good housemates.

Please.
- Of course.

You take down
those suitcases there.

I'll worry about these. We got to hurry!

We still need to buy tickets. - But I
bought them yesterday. - Right, duh!

Kids! Give us a hand.
Take the bag and the coat.

The magazines! Giulia!

Just checking something!
- "Fashion" and "Modern Woman".

There's a packed lunch
in case you get hungry.

Thanks, but I prepared one.
Let's go!

You go with the kids.
- Your suitcase?

Look, dinner's in the refrigerator.
- OK, thanks!

The package! You almost forgot it!

You got your house keys, sweetie?
- Of course I do, Sergio.

Your forehead is wet.

Are you OK?
- Me! I'm feeling great!

Why would you think that?

So long, Riccardo!
Bye, Sergio!

Take care of each other.
And Riccardo, don't study too hard.

Don't you worry. Have fun, OK?

Are you sure everything's alright, Sergio?
- Why, just great!

The money!
- Thanks!

See you on Saturday! Saturday!
- Don't worry, we will!

So long!
- Bye, Sergio!

See you soon!

Bye, Papa, bye!
See you!

Can I give you a ride?
- No, thanks.

I'm in a hurry, I gotta rush.
See you tonight.

Do you need money?
- No, why? - Let me know.

Going home?
- Yes.

Like Mama said, you study too much.
You have to watch your health.

It's just till the end of the exam.

See you at home. So long.
- So long.

Roccaraso, 141.
- Booth eight.

Mrs. Baistrocchi! Mrs. Baistrocchi!

Telephone! From Rome!

Boys, it's Papa!

Come on, hurry!

Hello?
- Hello? Hi, Adelina.

Is this Nini?
- Hi, Papa!

When are you coming, Papa?
- Hi, Bruno.

You know there's a doggy
here that eats his own shit?

What kind of language is that?

Honestly, the things you say!
Go on now!

Adelina, is that you darling?

What's come over those delinquents?

They're terrible! I can't tell
you the scrapes they get into!

When are you coming?
I'm so lonely.

You're thinking about it?

Hurry, come soon.

Tell me what you're thinking about.

That's what I'm thinking about too.

Of course, sweetheart. Yes.

Yes, I'm at the station.
- Did they leave?

Did Riccardo go?
- No, he'll come down later.

Ah, it's a beautiful place.
They'll love every minute.

I'm happy because with this heat,
the girls would've been uncomfortable.

You need any money?

I'll send you a check.
Yeah, I'll be home Saturday.

If I able to.

There's nothing the matter.

No, it's this heat. So awfully hot.

Yes.

Yes.

Is it normal she's sleeping?
- Sure, she just dropped off a while ago.

Beautiful.
You see how beautiful she is?

Give her these when she's awake.
And tell her I was here.

Alright, I will.
- What now?

Nothing but wait.

If you need to leave, go on.

Just leave your number
and I'll call when it starts.

No, I'm always on the run. I'll call.

But you'll tell me the truth?
I'm depending on you.

No matter how bad it is,
don't hide anything. - Don't worry.

Maybe I should stay.. - No, go on.
I'll tell you everything when you call.

Thanks a lot.

Oh, can you stop downstairs at
administration to see about the deposit?

Of course.
- Goodbye.

What am I going to do at home?

There's Riccardo.
I should talk to him.

No, I can't today. I don't feel like it.
Later. Later.

Am I a monster?

Am I really a monster?

I don't feel like one.
I don't.

I do..

I do everything I can for all of them.

For all of them.

Everything I can.

Hello, Sir.

How are you, Mr. Masini?
Oh, please, don't get up.

Well, it's nice in here, very cool.

It's the first cool place
I found anywhere today.

It's really hot out there.

I just took my family to the station.

Oh, they left?

Yes, to the beach.

With this heat, it's better for the kids.

You know.
- Certainly.

I've girls, you know?

Yes?
- Luisa and Mita.

Luisa's almost eight.
And Mita.. Mita's almost six.

Ah, isn't there an older boy?

Yes, Riccardo.
He's the oldest.

Boy's quite a student.

He studies too much.

He's taking his matriculation
exams. Almost a year ahead.

But, perhaps you want
to close up and here I am..

No, stay where you are, please.

And best wishes to your wife.
- Thanks, I'll tell her.

Maybe I should go down on Saturday?

I'm sorry, but is there
anything bothering you?

Ah.. Not at all. Thanks.

Should I close, Don Michele?
- Eh?

What? No, wait a few minutes.

Excuse me!

Excuse me, do you have a minute?
- I'm listening.

Something I can do for you?
- No..

No, I just thought you
might have some time.

Yes, I'd like to talk a bit with you.

You want to go to confession?

No, I don't need confession.

As you wish.

It's difficult.

I don't even know how to start.

I want.. to talk.
If I could just talk a bit!

You see, I'm expecting a baby.
Yes, a son.

Well, that's fine.

No, don't pretend you didn't
understand what I meant.

I'm not talking about my wife.
- Alright. Just calm down!

Would you like..

Would you like us to go
outside and have a nice walk?

Sounds good?
- OK.

She's a very young girl.

Just 20.
But you mustn't think badly of her.

She's a very special girl.
But very serious.

Extraordinary.

I met her last year in October.

It was autumn in Tuscany.

We were on a tour of the provinces.
Our quartet.

Great! Really terrific!

Congratulations! It was excellent!

Excuse me!

Please, may I have
your autograph, Maestro?

It'd be a pleasure but
I don't have a pen. - Here.

Thank you. Over there, please.

Excuse me, your name?
- Marisa. Marisa Malacugini.

Here you go.

Thanks.
- No, thank you. - Maestro!

Excuse me, Miss. Excuse me.
- Here's your pen.

They're waiting for you at the reception.
- Right now? I'm coming.

Please, everybody, this way.

Ma, ma, ma..
- Sergio!

Sergio, what are you doing? Move it!

I'm coming!
One moment.

Malacugini.
That's got to be her.

Hello! Is this the Malacugini's?

Is Miss Marisa there?
- Who's calling?

Tell me who this is!

No.. I..

I'm sorry, I have
the wrong number.

Yes, it was a mistake.

But, I'm telling you it was a mistake.
Sorry. Goodbye.

Miss Malacugini?

I just thought I come to say goodbye.

To me?

Sergio!

Do you know who I called a minute ago?

Sergio!

Sergio, what are you up to?

Excuse me.
Watch out for my bags!

The violin!

Call the house
and say I'll come later!

When later?
- Much later!

Call my house!
- The house? Which one?

But Sergio, but..

I missed it.

I'm so sorry. It's my fault.
- No.

Excuse me, when does
the next train leave for Rome?

The express will be leaving in forty
minutes. The local trains after that.

That's perfect.
We've some time to spend.

Shall we have a drink?

Or walk for a while?
- Thank you.

What interest you most? Is it music?

Well, I studied music, Maestro.

You studied?
What instrument?

Violin? Piano?
- The harp.

The harp?
- I studied the harp.

No, you're teasing me!

Well, it's strange to find a girl
interested in the harp these days.

It's an instrument that serves
me as an excuse to get away.

Then you're hoping..
for the first chance to escape?

Excuse me, but whom were you calling?

I can't believe it.

How do things like this happen?

And why?

If my brothers found out..

they'd kill me!

Are you frightened?

No.

It had to happen.

And I'm glad it was with you.

Your sign's Gemini, right?

I think so.

It is. I read you were born in June
in the program. You must be a Gemini.

I'm a Libra.

They're both air signs.

They're destined to be together, see?

Sergio!

Goodbye, darling.
- Goodbye.

Bye, darling! Bye!

Bye!

Bye, Marisa!

If I went to Rome, would you like it?

To Rome? You?

Would you really do that?
- Yes! If you want it, yes!

And then what did you say to her?

That would be marvelous!

But you just met. You barely knew her
and you just asked her point blank?

But you haven't understood a thing.

I'm not talking about a one night stand

or a girl’s ordinary infatuation
with a musician passing through.

No, no, no.
Marisa is incapable of that.

No, she really fell in love.
Once and for all.

I was the first man in her life.

I think.

Aren't you married?
What about your wife?

Well, it's complicated.

My wife? It's complicated.
- You're right, complicated is the word.

Do you remember doing a baptism?

For my friend Calasanti's son.

Oh, yes, Calasanti. I remember.

You remember the godmother?

The godmother?
No, I don't. But why?

She was a beautiful woman,
wearing a big hat.

Adele Baistrocchi.

Sounds familiar. Oh, yeah, I do.

A lovely woman. A little..

You need to bring the child closer.

Well, in a way, she too, is my wife.

I met her ten years ago.

I was conducting for a little opera
company on tour in the provinces.

We did Il Trovatore,
La Boheme, La Traviata.

Miss, don't take it so seriously.

Miss, don't go on so.
It happens to us all.

It happened to me.
- Of course, but you suck!

Believe me, Miss, even the
greatest singers have bad days.

But, I'll never be a great singer!
Never! - Come on, be brave.

Leave her alone!
- No, I'm just no good.

But that's not true, I tell you!
- I'm a failure. - That's not true.

I'm a failure, I am.
- Come now.

Poor thing, she was returning to Rome.
She was so desperate, so lonely.

I had to console her.

Console her? That's a good thing.
Very kind. But afterward?

What happened afterward?

Two little boys:
Nini is nine, Bruno is seven now.

Why, they're wonderful kids.

Come here! I'm going to eat you!

You can't escape!

That's enough! Time for bed!

Come on, Sergio.
They're getting all excited.

Come on!
- Bite the tummy!

You come along, let's go!
- Listen to your Mama!

Good night. - Good night, honey!
- I want to sleep with Papa!

No, Papa has to go to work tomorrow.

Get going to bed!
Off with you!

Bye, Mama!
- Goodnight, my darlings.

Won't anybody tell me goodnight?

Goodnight, my darling.

Goodnight.

Oh, Father, if you only knew what
a good sweet woman Adele is.

Always ready to sacrifice, never jealous.

Just to give you an example,
she never says, "Your wife".

She knows I don't like it.
Instead she says, "Giulia",

as if she were a friend or a sister.

And then what a temperament she has!
So passionate..

I get it! I get it! But I was
wondering about your wife.

Your wife, the aforementioned Giulia.

Ah, Giulia!

Giulia's a perfect woman.

A fantastic, well-rounded woman.

Well, I must say, you're lucky.
You've only met perfect women.

Yes, you're right. Exactly.
I'm a very lucky man.

Imagine that after 18 years of marriage,

I still love my Giulia

with the same tenderness,
the same sweetness.

You asleep?

Hi.
- Hi.

Go back to sleep.

Give me your hand.

Who's that?

Hello?

This is the Masini residence.
Who's speaking?

Who?

Just a minute.

I can't understand a thing.
It must be for you.

Hello.
Yes, this is he.

There's a young lady who
asked me to call you at home.

I've never saw her before.
I'll put her on. Here.

Sergio.

This is Marisa.

Huh? I see.

Ah! Yes, of course!

But no..

Be right there, of course. Yes.

Who was it?
- Huh?

The police station.
- What?

That idiot, Calasanti
got himself arrested!

What again?
- Seems he got into a fight.

Sorry, but I better get down there.

What time is it?
Wake up!

Can't you hear the phone?

Hello?

Calasanti? Sergio. Yes, it's Sergio.

You got arrested tonight, understand?
Don't answer..

Don't answer the phone.
For anything!

Because you're at the
police station. Bye!

But..
What the hell!

Wrong number.
It was a mistake.

I didn't know what to do.

She must be crazy, crazy!
Absolutely crazy, I thought.

I was gonna send her to
where she came from. Fast.

I swear to you,
I wanted to send her back.

I was afraid, you understand.
I was angry, confused.

But then I saw her there,
standing with a suitcase,

all alone in that station,
waiting just for me.

She left everything for me.
Trusting in only me.

Even though she only seen me once.

It was one of the happiest
moments of my whole life.

Marisa is a wonderful creature.

Spontaneous like a child,
dignified like a mature woman.

She wanted to get a job so
she wouldn't be a burden to me.

So in the beginning, I found
her some work in the orchestra.

I got a room for her in
a small boarding house.

It wasn't easy for me, I assure you,
because Marisa had a difficult character.

For example, I never spent
the whole night with Adele.

She was used to the idea
that Giulia was waiting for me.

And Marisa also was told
from the very first to wake me

in case I fell asleep.

Sergio! Sergio!

Goddamn it!
It's morning already!

What time is it?
Six!

Why didn't you wake me?

I told you I had to be home by midnight.

Did you fall asleep too?
- No.

I.. I tried to wake you.

What do you mean, "tried to wake me"?
If you tried, I would've awakened.

Damn it the hell!

Why didn't you wake me?
- You didn't hear me.

You were sleeping.

But, you should've tried harder.
You should've woke me.

Where are my shoes?
Ah, here they are.

Is it really serious?

I can't do this. You know, I can't.

You mean you can't ever stay?

You won't ever be able to
spend the whole night with me?

Never?

You're scared.
You flee as if you're scared!

Answer me!
Won't you ever?

Won't you ever stay the night with me?

Marisa..

You know the position I'm in.

And how I feel about it too.

Nothing's been hidden from you.

Why are you being so difficult?

I don't know!

It's alright. I'll call you later.

No, no! Wait!
Please, listen!

I was wrong.
- No..

Do you still love me?
- Don't be silly!

We'll talk it over later.
I'll call you.

I gotta go.
- Wait!

Give me a kiss! - Bye.
Not like that, better!

Sergio, I'll wait for you to phone me.

I won't go anywhere. I won't move
from the phone. Call me, please.

I'll call as soon as I possibly can.

Bye.
- Bye.

God, she's got a mania
for telephones too!

They all keep the receiver
under the pillow.

Maybe it's my fault for loving them.

Giulia! Did Calasanti call you?

What? No.
Why?

The rotten luck! After recording
all night, it's me who has to replace him!

Maybe you can find his number.
Oh, wait, I think it's on the dresser.

Yes, the phone number.

Sorry, but there's nothing there.

It must be some place.
I might as well forget it.

What's the matter with you?

Is something wrong?
Oh, no, I can tell by your voice.

No, there's nothing the matter.
But.. what time is it?

Yes, I know. I would've phoned before..

You know I can't leave when I want.

We were recording all night.
Yes, that's right.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Oh! Speaking about Calasanti..

he's finally become a father,
after all this time.

He wants you to be the godmother.

I know it's a bore,
but what can I tell him?

What do you say?

Now wait a minute,

The godmother was the other one.
Mrs.. - Baistrocchi

That's Adele.
Here's what happened.

The day after, Adele, poor thing,
she's always so sacrificing.

Always excluded from things.

Sergio, darling, I'd be so happy
if I could be the godmother.

What do you think?
Would Calasanti.. I mean if your wife..

excuse me, Giulia doesn't care about it?
- Why, of course not.

I'll speak about it to Calasanti.
Are you glad? - Yes.

Hey, Mama!
- Here's the children. - Hello!

Good day, Ma'am.
- Good day, Miss.

Good day, Mr. Baistrocchi.
- Good day.

Wait a minute!

I suppose the sons of
Mrs. Baistrocchi think you're their..

But your name's not Baistrocchi! - No.
- The boys know you under a false name?

Of course, but there's no harm.

By the time they're grown up, they'll
understand. - What about the godmother?

I mean this baptism?

Well we had it, didn't we? Only we
had to hurry up with the ceremony of it.

Didn't you notice anything?

Well, we had to speed things up
to get to the other church.

Here father.
We haven't a minute to lose.

No, no.
I shouldn't have.

My poor baby. What if my wife found out?

That infant was baptized twice?

My poor baby!
My poor boy!

But your life's a continuous lie.
You're always making up more lies!

Always lying!
- Yes, but I have to.

I don't do this out of fun.
- May I help you?

A beer.
- Me too.

It's for them, so they'll feel happy.
What? - Light beer? - Yeah.

I never treat anyone better
than the other. For example:

If I telephone one, I call the
other two as well. Look here.

Three calls in the morning, three
in the afternoon and three at night.

27 calls in one day! Not including
emergencies and extra calls.

Speaking of that, excuse me.

Hello. This is Mr. Malacugini.

Yes, Malacugini, the husband of the
young girl who came in this morning.

How is she?
Ah, nothing.

Has she woken up yet?

Better take this number down
and if she wakes call me here.

It's 6-7-2-4-2-2.

Yeah. No! Better repeat if for me,
please. 6-7-2-4-2-2. That's right.

Listen, I won't move from here.

Yes, I'll be here. Thanks a lot.

Ah, excuse me, my name is Malacugini.
I'll be with the priest. - No problem.

Everything's alright.

No new developments.
All is normal. There's no danger.

Here. Feel how fast it's going.

Can you feel it? Eh?
Tock, tock. Tick, tick, tick.

My nervous system is
out of whack, they say.

Doesn't bother me, though. I'm really
supposed to quit smoking, that's all.

That's what they said at the insurance
company, when I went for my last policy.

Now hold your breath.

Now take a big deep breath.

Excuse me, but that always tickles me.
- Try not to laugh, please.

Why? Is something the matter?

Nothing really important, however
you do well to follow my instructions.

You smoke?
- I smoke, but not very much.

Well, I advise you to stop.

In favor of?
- Marisa.

Marisa Malacugini.
- Malacugini, Marisa.

Cigarette?
- No thanks.

Well, let me see now. Capital..

Age. Quite a premium, did they tell you?

150,000 lire plus the tax.
Plus.. let's see: 170,000 lire.

170,000? Seems a little
exaggerated, doesn't it?

170,000..
- With the other two insurance policies,

I only paid half of that.
- Alright then.

Here is Giulia Masini: 30,000
for the policy. 8,400 annually.

And the other one: 30,000
as well for Adele Baistrocchi.

But for this policy,
you'll have to pay 170,000 per year.

Because you made it seven year after.
- OK, but 150,000!

Reduce the value.

That is in place of 30,000, maybe
you can insure for say 18 or 20.

No. No.
No way.

Unfortunately, statistics prove that

between 30 and 40 years old,
the probability that one uh..

goes up at least 40 percent.

Well then..

Marisa Malacugini.

Maiden name?

So, my life's worth less and less,
but it costs more and more.

Eight mouths to feed. Not counting
what I pay for rent and insurance,

my nervous system
will just have to wait a while.

When I was kid,
I sang in the church choir.

And I still have quite
a nice baritone voice.

I never turned down a job,
no matter day or night.

I'm always obliged to divide up meals,
so I won't offend anyone of them.

Giulia cooks light food,
but Adele is makes rich spicy things.

I take Marisa to restaurants but
I can't say to her I've already eaten.

Sometimes, I have to start eating again,
a half hour after I've finished.

I'm crazy about fettuccine, you see.

Result:
I've got ulcers.

Hi Papa!
- Hey!

I'm an expert at playing Santa Claus.

What can you do?

Then there are all the anniversaries
and birthdays to be celebrated. 16 total.

And then there are first communions,
confirmations, Christmas, New Years.

All King's Day, Easter.

I must make sure not to give anyone the
same gift I gave them the year before.

Besides that, I have to remember
everyone's size. Not an easy thing.

They're very nice.
The feel is modern.

I'll take three: a blue one,
a red one and a white one.

Two size 34s and one 38.

Luckily for me, Marisa and
Giulia both wear the same size.

Now the children's shoe sizes:

I have to remember whether it's Nini
who wears a four or Bruno wears a five.

Why don't you bring all of your kids in?

Just load them in your
car and bring them over.

I wish! I had to carry it all up here.

I had to memorize everything and
not be afraid to test the waters.

So you're 34, my dear?

You're right: 34, but in November.

So you're 29, my old girl?

I wake up in three different houses.

See, a musician has irregular hours.
I always have to be ready to go.

Besides, let me assure you, Father,

two families, or rather I should say,
two and a half families

are a lot of work.

My children are good, you know?
Affectionate, happy.

I certainly can't complain.

Christmas is a very exciting time for us.

One wants a tree, one wants a manger.
I have to make everybody happy.

Why, it sounds like hell!

How come?
- You have to ask me?

At the point you're at now,
it would be better to.. to..

get a divorce!

I'm shocked.

You're making me say terrible things.
In theory or in practice I think..

In view of the monstrous
picture you just described to me,

God forgive me, get a divorce!
- I'm absolutely amazed!

If we hated each other,
I could see it.

But we're deeply in love.

Besides I could divorce, but.. but who?

And the children?

The children..

It'd be wonderful if we all
could be together like one family.

Adele suffers because we're not together.

"But why can't they all know
one another?", she asks me.

We even tried once. It was last
year during the winter holidays.

There's 20 for you
and 20 for you.

When the ticket taker comes,
give him the money, OK? Kisses.

Be careful, eh?

Hi, Mama!

Let's go, kids.
Get ready for the next ride.

50 lire per person!

You coming, Mama?
- Yes.

Here I am, Papa!
I'm here! Wait for me!

All of them.
All of them together.

What a shame.
There was only Marisa missing.

She was the most lonely of all.

Wait here, I'll go get the tickets.

Four, two children.

Are you two hot?

Is it already started? - No.
- Go on then, hurry.

Come on kids, hurry!

Papa, here!

Miss, would you mind moving
over one seat? Thank you.

Come quick!
- Go on!

Sit down, boys and be nice.
You hear? Be good.

Papa, can you buy me an ice cream?

You just had one a moment ago.

Yes, I'll get you one.

What is it?

Can't you guess?
- Cigarettes!

The less I smoke,
the better it is for me.

Sure, wish I had one though.

Go on, get some. Else you'll
be jumpy the whole time.

Think so?

I may as well buy
the kid some ice cream too.

I'll be right back.
- Yes.

Marisa!

Marisa, what are you doing here?

Excuse me, Ma'am, if you don't mind.

Thank you.

Sweetheart, what are you doing here?
There's no sense to it.

Don't you understand you're
hurting yourself and me too?

Excuse me, do you mind moving down?
- But there's a lady there.

Excuse me, Ma'am, would you mind?
Thank you.

Thanks very much.

Marisa!
- Don't touch me!

This isn't fair, you know?

I won't permit you to suffer like this.
Why did you come?

Why? Am I not allowed
to even go to the movies!

You must reasonable, understand?

I don't want to be reasonable!
- Go away!

Quiet!

Marisa, please stop crying, will you?

Now, stop darling, stop Marisa.
- No! - Marisa, wait!

Excuse me, please.

An ice cream, please.

Well, how's it working out?
- No good.

She's alone as always.

She waits for me to telephone,

but when I do she won't talk.
Silence.

It's just beyond me.
Why do you do it?

How could I possibly explain?

Poor thing! At Christmas,
I wasn't able to get by to see you.

A little here, a little there,
with the kids.

But now, with New Years so close,
I had to find a way to be with you.

I had to invent something.

I was able to convince Giulia that
New Year's was just a convention.

Alright, everything ready?

Where's the champagne?
- Ready. - I'll take it. - Here.

Watch out for the cork!
- Get your glasses ready!

Riccardo!
- Watch the clock, it's almost twelve.

Four, three,
two..

One! Ta-da!
Gimme your glasses!

One for you and you.

And one for you.
Wait, let's make a toast.

Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
- Happy New Year!

For another million years, Giulia.
- Another million years, Sergio.

What are those two up to?
They're getting drunk!

No!No! - Let go!
- Look at that!

Oh, no, you two!
Are you crazy?

Snuggle up here. Do you how old
you'll be a million years from now?

In a million years,
we'll be as old as you!

That's a disrespectful prophecy. And
you, darling? Whose little girl are you?

My little sweetheart, whose are you?

Riccardo, come in!
Come in!

Here, Happy New Year.

But aren't you a little ahead?

Come on, grumpy. Cheers!
- Cheers!

Cheers, Mama!
- Thanks Riccardo, the same to you.

Are you going out this evening?
- Yes.

Massimo is having a party.

But if you don't want me to..
- No, no..

You have enough money?
- Well, you know.. - I'll be right back.

Giulia! Where's my jacket?
It's getting late.

Right away, Dear.
- OK, you got it now?

At midnight, your Papa will toast
you on TV. Just for you and Mama.

But which midnight counts?
The one here or the one on television?

Naturally, the one here.
It was ours, right? - Sergio!

Coming!
- You got it then? So long.

Good night. Be good now.
- Bye.

Here's your coat.
- Thanks.

Damn it, I'm always rushing,
always rushing.

Does it bother you that I have to go?
- No..

I could tell them that I was sick.
- Don't be silly. Hurry, you'll be late.

Hmm.. do I look alright?
- Hmm.. proud as a peacock.

Don't I look like a diplomat?
- Your button..

If you breathe too hard,
you'll pop open. - Fine.

It's your fault, you feed me too much.
Bye, girls! - Bye, Papa!

Watch for me tonight.
- Alright. Bye.

Forgetting something, Maestro?
- Ah, my bread and butter!

If it weren't for you, honey.

There would be somebody else.
- Aw, listen.. - Go, you're late.

I don't like the comment you just made.

Especially the way you said it.

In any case, we'll talk
it over soon. Remind me.

It's Papa! It's Papa!

Baistrocchi residence. Who's this?
Papa, you coming?

No, dear, I won't be able to.

Papa, listen: the shepherds
and the three kings

were guided by the star and they came
near to Jerusalem where there was..

Later!

Hello, Sergio.

It's late, I begun to wonder if
you were going to phone. Quiet!

That's silly!
It may be late but still!

Oh, keep the boys up,
I'm going to be on TV.

I'd like them to see me at midnight.
Alright? Alright?

Adele, what's wrong with you?

Nothing. It's just the evenings, you know.

It's perfectly silly, but I wasn't
sure you'd telephone and well..

You know, I'm very stupid.
I'm very stupid!

Adele, you know what I'll do?
Forget the TV, I'll come there.

I'll call the director up and
say I can't make it. Excuse me!

I don't care about it.
But your happiness counts.

Why not? They can go to hell
for all they pay me.

Oh, no, no, no.
But thanks.

Thanks for saying that.

I'll have the boys watch you at midnight.

Oh, yes. I'm sorry.

One of the boys memorized
a Christmas poem by heart.

Listen to this. Here he comes.

Say your poem to Papa.
- I'll start over.

Alright.
- Are you ready?

the shepherds and the three kings

were guided from afar by a star
to the city of Jerusalem.

What if Adele had said yes.

If she said, "Tell the TV
to go to hell and come."

How would I have gotten out of it?

Well, there's no doubt that
I would've gone right to her.

Yes, I would've run straight there.

Sure.
And Marisa?

Hypocrite!

You know very well, Adele
would've never asked you to come.

Not for anything in the world
would Adele have asked you.

I bet I can make you laugh.

Marisa, I want you to reason things out.

You must understand,
it's senseless to spy on me.

It'll make you suffer and me as well.

Sergio..

I have something to tell you.
- What is it?

Later.

Let's dance first, OK?
Later.

You think I don't understand you?

I know the whole thing, Marisa.

I know what it means to spend the whole
afternoon waiting by the phone and then..

Marisa!

Marisa! Marisa!
You know I..

I can't do more.

Attention, ladies and gentlemen.
It's nearly midnight.

Get your glasses ready!

There we are.

Come on. Come on.

Wait a sec.

You'll see.
Sit down.

Now watch. The technicians
at the TV studio are all my friends.

We're going to spend the last
minutes of the year with an orchestra.

Watch closely.

Attention! This year, is almost over.

I'll make a toast now,
just to get into practice.

Everyone, your attention..
- Here it comes.

Hey, look!
I just saw Papa!

Minus nine,
minus eight,

Minus seven,
Minus six,

Minus five, minus four, minus three,

minus two, minus one!
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!

Cheers! Cheers!
Happy New Year!

Just think, we recorded that
program nearly a week ago.

It wasn't a bad idea.

But who were you thinking of?

Of you.
And the others.

Marisa!

Marisa, wait!

That table over there.

Keep the change.

Marisa!

Marisa, be nice! - Why?
What has being nice brought me?

Marisa, you're unfair!

But what do you give me?
Tell me that!

A piece? A fourth?

And we step up in line for a turn.
It'll always be like that!

Please, wait!
- Let's see..

Naturally, all holidays are out of the
question. Sacred. Spent with the family.

And let's begin with Monday, shall we?
- Do you want a taxi?

No.. get lost!

Listen, Marisa!

Now, stop it!

Marisa, stop! Stop it, I said!

Look at me.
You're getting yourself all upset!

Calm down. Come on.
Come along with me. Come on.

Let me alone! Go away!
I don't want anything from you!

Stop it, will you!

What got into you in the first place,
to follow me?

I didn't follow you.

Come on, get in.

I wasn't following you.
I went to the movies by accident.

If you were in the movies by accident,
why didn't you go when you saw us?

Alright, Sergio, I followed you.
I spied on you.

I wanted to see what she was like.

What do you mean by that?

I mean your wife!
Strange, but I imagined her different.

I confess, I was shocked by the
vulgar way she was dressed. - Marisa!

You don't like that!
But what right has she got?

Just because she made you a father!
- Now stop acting stupid, Marisa!

I love you, you know that.

But I love the others too.

If you really love me, really..

I'm sure.. yes I'm sure that
you'd love all of them too.

You would. I know it.

I am what I am..

only because of them, understand,
Marisa. And I know..

I'm quite convinced..

I'm sure this sounds absurd
to you, maybe even unnatural,

but it seems right to me,
that you..

should love even her.

My wife, Giulia.

I hate her!

I hate her, hear me!

I hate her, I wish she were dead!
- Stop that!

Fine, go away!
Go away!

You'll never be able
to understand anything!

No, because one thing
should be considered here.

In offending my wife, Giulia, Marisa was
also offending Adele, you understand?

Yes, because for Marisa,
Adele was my wife, Giulia.

Adele.. it wasn't her fault, poor thing.

Now, just what would you have
done if you were in my place?

Me? What did you do?

I brought Adele to Venice.

It was a kind of honeymoon.

Something I'd always promised her.

The orchestra had to play at some
celebration, I don't remember which.

Anyway, you were allowed to
take along one member of your family.

Perhaps, it's better.

We had better be going.
- Alright.

Bye, Sergio.
Sergio, I'm afraid.

Giulia, statistically, it's very safe!
- I know, but I'm afraid anyway.

Bye now! Bye! Bye!
- Phone me, when you arrive!

There's Papa over there.
Over there!

There's Papa!

Is everything alright?
- Don't speak.

Excuse me, but I can't
seem to find my husband.

You're married to which one?

I'm.. I'm the wife of the first violinist.
- Ah, yes! Nice to meet you, Ma'am.

The passengers are requested
to refrain from smoking and

to fasten their seatbelts.
Thank you.

But.. what are you doing?

You're fastening my raincoat!

Are you afraid?
- No, not now.

Just a minute.
There.

Mrs. Masini!
Mrs. Masini!

How are you, Mrs. Masini?
Everything alright?

Ah, yes, just fine. Thanks.

Sergio, if there were an accident,

it wouldn't matter as long as were
together. But I think about the boys.

Just don't think about it.
You old silly!

Oh, this is so good!

I'm so happy.

My old silly!

Sergio!
- Giulia!

You must have radar!
- I heard the car.

You think you can put me in a corner
and just forget all about me, huh?

There! Let me feel it!

Let me look at you! - No, I'm not
dressed. - But, you're beautiful.

What's this? - Ah, nothing.
Just presents for the kids.

Don't wake them.
- Oh, no. Wait a minute.

Here's something I got for you.

You think I'd forget?

Here.

Oh, but why?

You spent all your money.

Oh, no. They're just pearls.
But they're really beautiful.

I picked it myself.

Put them on.

Did you miss me a little?

Honestly, this time, no.

We were there for only three days,
busy every second.

Receptions, rehearsals, concerts.

But as I got close,

I felt the warmth of a house.

Your warmth.

Oh, what soft hair you have!

That night we were very happy.

I remember at one point, Giulia..

Excuse me, Don Michele,
I'm not sure how to say this,

Giulia makes me feel like a man,
like a king, like a master.

I don't know if you can understand..
- Yes, yes, I understand completely.

No, don't answer.
Nobody's home.

It doesn't matter.
I'm not at home for anybody.

Marisa.

It was Marisa.
I was sure of it.

Masini, wake up!

Wait a minute, take a break!
Go to the bar.

Come back in ten minutes.
But be punctual.

Hello, is this the De Rosa House?
This is Mr. Masini.

Yes, Mr. Masini.

What's that?
When did she move?

This morning?

Very well. Excuse me,
did she say anything to you?

Ah, I see.

No, no, it's fine. Thanks.

Fine.
It's better this way.

Sergio!
Sergio!

Of course, it was for the best.
Of course.

Much better like this.
Yes, better.

What an idiot!
I was an idiot!

Because to phone me like
that at two in the morning,

meant she needed me, poor thing.

Do you know why she left?

Guess why Marisa, poor thing,
took off like that?

Because she was pregnant.

How did you know?
- Well, you told me.

You told me at the start.
Marisa is having a child.

Unless there's another one?
- No, don't worry.

That's a relief.
- Just her.

But when I finally when
I realized the situation..

Mr. Malacugini, I realize
that appearances are against me.

I'm aware of the situation I'm in.

But there's something you must consider.

What's between us isn't sordid.
Marisa and I are in love, Mr. Malacugini.

But Miss, you're not eating anything.
- Eat some more.

You've hardly touched it.

Will you stop bothering her?

She won't eat our things
because she's ashamed.

Now, pass me the salt.

There's someone to see Miss Marisa.

What did he say?

He said he came especially from Rome
just so he can speak with her.

I told him to wait.

Sergio!

Papa, what'll I do?
- Just wait. Pass me the pepper.

Let me look at you.
Let me see you.

How are you? Are you alright?

Now, sit down over here.
Wait just a minute.

Let me fix this cushion,
while you lie back.

Tell me, can you feel anything yet?
Can you feel it? - Yes.

Your folks..

What do they say about it?
What do they they want to do?

Oh, they say that..

the baby that.. I got to get rid of it.
- What's that?

An abortion?
- Yes, yes.

They say that there's no other way.

What? Our child!

That miserable rat!
I'm going to punch his face in!

Mr. Malacugini,

I'm perfectly aware of my situation.

I mean that uh..

Mr. Malacugini, we're all adults here,
right? So let's put aside

the whys and wherefores..
- What the hell are you talking about?

Filiberto, I imagine.

Yes, Marisa spoke very highly..
- I'm going to smash you!

I'll send you to jail!
I'll break you with my own hands!

You're talking crazy.. - Degenerate!
You go around seducing minors!

And you! You little whore!
- Take your hands off her!

Does it hurt very much?

No, no. Not now.

What about you? How do you feel?
- Just fine, now.

Come on, come closer to me.

Sergio.
- Yes?

We won't ever be apart?

No, my little darling.

Never.

Dear Mr. Masini..

May I please?

I think it's useless asking
me what course to follow.

You know what to do and
I'm sure you've always known.

Mr. Masini,
you can't go on like this!

Yes, Mr. Masini,

You must make a clean break from
all this and return to your family.

I know it won't be easy.
But you got to do it.

It's truly necessary..

that you take responsibility
for the happiness of everybody.

And I understand you.

I don't doubt your absolute
sincerity about this.

But what kind of happiness do
you offer these people, Mr. Masini?

No, you must go back to your family.

Dedicate yourself to
your wife and children.

Yes, yes. I know, for the love of God,

the others are your children as well.

And you must never forget that.

You must provide for them,
care about them, help them.

As much as possible, but..

But you're not obliged to uh..
maintain relations..

to maintain relations wi..
wi.. with uh..

with all the mothers of all your
children! You understand?

I repeat:

Cut these liaisons.
It's the only way, Mr. Masini.

There's no other solution.
A good clear break, Mr. Masini.

There's no other solution.

Marisa!

Marisa!

Marisa!

No, no, no.
There's no other solution, Mr. Masini.

You must break free!
No more living in this sin.

And if you want, I'll be happy to try and
help find means of arranging things.

I'll talk to uh..
If you want, I'll speak to uh..

with these young ladies.
Especially with uh..

with the youngest, poor thing.

We might study it case by case.

But you just got to realize this life of
subterfuge, lies.. - Excuse me!

Excuse me.
I'll be right back.

But I..
I love them all.

So my life is based on lies.

So what if it is?
I don't deny it.

I'm a liar, but he doesn't
understand anything.

No, no one understands any of it.

Strange, I didn't tell him what
happened with Riccardo.

I wonder why I didn't.
Why?

Why didn't I tell him about that night.

I'll be right back.

Riccardo!
Riccardo!

Riccardo!

You found me out.
You know my secret now.

Yeah, because even your
mother doesn't know.

Well, you know how it is.
Musicians must eat.

I've done this before,
you know and after all,

It's a question of trying
to balance the family budget.

I guess.. it's pretty tough?

To work here? Oh, no!
You get accustomed to it.

Come, I'll walk you to the car.

You need any money?

Riccardo, what is it?

What a hypocrite!

Look, Riccardo,

you're wrong to judge me like that.

It's unfair.

Yes, I know. If I were your
age, I'd feel the same way.

We must speak about this, Riccardo.
We'll talk when you're calmer.

There's nothing to say.
Besides, I understand perfectly.

You're a man. Yes.

It's obvious that women pass
their prime quicker than men do.

And Mama? Oh, yes!
It's perfectly normal.

Because Mama now..
- Stop it, Riccardo, I won't allow it!

You're a clown!

Sorry, Riccardo,

but you shouldn't.
- You're a clown!

I've known for years. And I'll say
it to your face: you're a clown!

Come back, Riccardo!

We have to talk!

I've got to talk to him.
I know he'll understand.

He's a man now.
He'll understand.

Oh, God, it's late!

Just look at those fingers!
Beautiful! A violinist!

And would you look at those nails?
Such little nails!

He's awake now.

Come on, little one. - Be sure
and be careful. Very careful.

I'm counting on you.

You're tired?

Me?
Why do you say that?

Am I bothering you?
- No. - Honest? - No!

But you can leave now.
You better get some rest.

You suffered more than me.
- No.

Marisa,

how pale you are!
- No, I'm totally fine.

You're so beautiful, you know that?

But why are you looking at me that way?

It's plain as day. You must
have something to tell me.

Come on.

Tell me. Don't worry.

Go ahead.
- Sergio..

Why don't you go?

Now you're chasing me out?

Sergio, I'm going to ask you a favor.
- Yes?

I.. I would like..

I want! You understand?

Well, I was thinking it over just
before I went into the delivery room.

It was really hurting.

See, I realized that women exaggerate.

They like feeling sorry for themselves.

So I was thinking,

after, when the child was born..

I wanted you to do something.
- Yes, what is it?

Starting right now,
for at least a few days,

you mustn't think about anything.

I have everything I need here. So..

so.. go away.

Get out a little.

To the beach. OK?

To the beach.

You promise me?
- Yes.

A few days at the beach.

With your wife.

With Giulia.

Miss, I'm calling Marina di Massa.

This number.

Mrs. Giulia Masini.

Yes, but what'll I tell her?

What'll I tell her?

That I'll come on Saturday?

And Adele?
I'll call her too.

I'll call her too.
I'll come Saturday.

I'll go.
Of course.

Surely, it would be best
to tell them all the truth.

A slight wait for Marina di Massa.
- Yes.

In the meantime,
can you get me this number?

Adele Baistrocchi, Roccaraso.

Are you alright, Sir?
Are you ill?

No. I never felt better in my life.

Look, I'm going to sit over there.

I may as well sit. Call me.
Thanks.

Cremona ready!
Booth nine, please!

Cremona is on the line!
Booth nine!

What about Riccardo?

I really should call him.
I must.

Maybe we could..
have dinner together at home.

And we could talk.

Yeah, I'll call him. Later.

Later. - Marina di Massa
on the line, cabin thirteen!

Marina di Massa on the line!

Later.
- Marina di Massa on the line!

Marina di Massa!

Who called up Marina di Massa?

Sir?

Sir, did you call Marina di Massa?

Sir?

This man is dead.

Yes, there all there.

And how it affects them.

It's beautiful.

It's quite a consolation knowing that
I'll be missed by so many people.

That I can't be replaced.

Adele.
Poor thing.

my sweet silly.

Giulia.

Darling Giulia.

Oh, this is just how I imagined

how my funeral would be.
This is how I saw it.

Just like this.

Marisa, only you aren't here.

Of course, if this unfortunate occurrence

would've happened a few days later,

you would've been here too.

Riccardo!

We didn't get to have our talk, did we?

But you'll understand anyway, won't you?

Ah! Maybe..

Maybe you already understand.

He was a sly old fox!

Giulia!

My sweet, Giulia.

Listen, darling,
now you can tell me.

Didn't you ever suspect
what was going on?

Never?

Not one suspicion?
Never?

Giulia, now you can tell me..

the truth.

You did know, didn't you?

You must have always known.
Isn't that so?

Giulia, answer me.

Answer me, Giulia!

Can't you hear me?

Answer me!

Please, Giulia!

Giulia!
