Original subtitles

- Good morning, Mr. Alvaro. - Good night.

- "Lullaby" is here. - Very funny!

Good morning.

- Did you wake him up? - He got back late last night.

- Let him sleep a bit. - That way he won't cause trouble.

Mrs. Cecilia, I give you 10,000 Lira a month.

But at 8:00 a.m., that loafer must free up the bed.

Alright, wake him up. Politely, or he becomes nervous.

Poor thing! Play Schubert's "Moonlight Sonata" for him!

One, two, three...

- Wake up, Salvatore! - Mr. Alvaro is here.

I'll show you...

Wasn't I enough for Mom? I loved her so much.

She wanted more children, and look at what rascals they are!

Salvatore, get off. This is your stop.

Don't you ever do the day shift?

If I did, how could you rent me the bed?

If they give me the day shift, you'll lose a tenant.

Or you think I'd come to sleep at night and embrace you?

Romolo!

Why do you always come out? Call your brother.

- Hi, Salvatore. Go away. - You love each other. Get married.

Go away!

Jolanda gave me a neck-ache.

She didn't want to kiss you. I have a back-ache.

I get so much humidity because she wants to lie down on the grass.

Yesterday I found a cricket in my pocket.

That's why you were whistling! Hurry up.

Doesn't your mother ever change the sheets?

What is this?

It's Jolanda's cricket. Poor thing! I thought it had left.

Get away!

You go out with women, and I find grass, poppies and crickets in the bed.

It would've been better to sleep at Villa Borghese. Money saved.

- Salvatore, the milk will get cold. - Get my clothes.

Take everything and don't come back. And close the window.

Did you get everything?

Now you can sleep for a month. Goodbye.

When are you going to work?

I forgot the talcum powder.

- What is it for? - I know.

If the cricket gets back in the bed, don't hurt it. It's Jolanda's.

- Marisa! I found a new one. - You know her?

No, but there's a dedication. "To Salvatore with a filled soul."

- Filled with what? - I don't know. What did you find?

He had lipstick on his shirt. It wasn't the same one as the other day.

What do you have to talk about all day?

You're always chatting. Doesn't your tongue ever dry up? Go work!

Doorman!

Dad! Someone wants you.

Doorman!

- What is it? - Someone wants you.

- Does Milone live here? - He does and he doesn't.

Try. He lives on the sixth floor.

If you find him, do me a favor.

Give him this telegram.

If you don't find him, bring it back.

You need anything else?

Hurry, it could be urgent.

Oh, sure!

Romolo, you want to see the gift I bought for Annamaria?

- Gift? - It's her birthday. She's 15.

Since they didn't cost much, I bought a pair for myself too.

Silk stockings? Are you crazy?

Girls your age wear socks.

Besides, who wears stockings in the summer?

If she starts with silk stockings, who knows how she'll end up!

You always ruin my meal.

Too much money is thrown away in this house.

I'm the only careful one. I've been wearing the same suit for two years

and I don't know when I can buy another one.

All we needed was silk stockings.

Bye, Dad. Don't give the canaries red wine or they'll become green.

What do you want?

Annamaria is having a party on the terrace tonight.

- Are you and Salvatore coming? - What for?

- To dance. - To dance "ring-around-the roses"?

Bye.

- Let's go. - Last one there has horns.

- Run! - Come here!

Move.

- You have horns. - You too!

- Take this! - Are you crazy?

What a day!

Does it seem right to go to work in this sun?

Sun, you're a scoundrel! Come down and I'll hit you!

Alright for an old man, or a sick man,

but for a boy like me, who is healthy, robust, handsome...

It's a waste to go to work on a day like this.

Yes, it's a waste.

Guys, look who is coming.

She came down from heaven!

- Hey, cute chick! - Mama's beautiful girl!

- What a knockout! - I'll dream of her tonight.

She's mute.

Look at what's in the shop window.

Look at her! Where did she come from? What a knockout!

And they say there's nothing good in the world anymore.

My life... my love... my soul...

We won't move. We're not going to work.

She's not looking at us.

- She's being spiteful. - She wants to be begged.

She kisses well!

Her kisses are cold.

Good morning.

Everything has changed here.

- It was a cobbler on Friday. - Now it's a men's tailor.

Then I'd like some pants.

Will you make them? Do you take the measurements?

- Of course. - Then I want some too.

I have ready-made ones. Want to try them on?

- Of course! - Come, please.

Take your pants off. I'll be right back.

- Will she try them on us? - Hurry, take them off.

If I'd known, I'd have changed my underpants this morning!

- Are you ready? - Yes.

I knew she was easy. I have a sixth sense with women. Come on!

- Boys, will you help me? - Right away!

You are really handsome!

How shameful!

What times!

Leaving already? You're not trying the pants on?

Too bad! They would've been perfect for you.

- Perfect, my foot. - Very funny.

What have you got to smile at?

Bye.

Why are you laughing? You've never seen a man in his underwear?

Yes, but not two!

You looked like the statue of Paolina Borghese.

- Why are you laughing? - Everyone else is laughing.

- You can't. - Why not?

- You laugh badly. - Let me see.

Laugh.

- It's true, you laugh badly. - Why let him treat you like that?

- Hit him. - Idiot!

Those loafers!

Go work, lazy bums!

She thinks she embarrassed us.

I don't give a darn if she saw me in my underpants.

We won't ever see her again.

Let's go to work. Bye.

- Good morning, Uncle. - You come at this hour?

- I was delayed. - Go on! Go on!

- What did you want to hear? - Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor".

Toccata and Fugue so early in the morning?

You certainly have a lovely music sensitivity.

Bach will always be Bach.

Go inside the booth, miss. I'll let you listen to "Toccata".

Good morning, miss. Good morning, madam.

Do you want to listen to a record?

She wants "Buongiorno Tristezza".

- Sung by Claudio Villa. - Yes.

All the women like Claudio Villa. I wonder why.

I've told you before to knock before entering a booth.

Did you give her a good "Toccata"?

Don't be silly! If you lose this job, you won't find another one.

I keep you here out of pity. You know that?

- Uncle Mario. - What is it?

- Remember to change the needle. - Darn you!

Lifeguard! Lifeguard! I can't pull it off.

- Did you try pushing? - Two people tried.

Take it home. You're coming back tomorrow, anyway.

They don't let you get any sun in peace.

Graziella, what did you tell Roberto?

I said, "Roberto, you can't be so jealous."

"Let's spend a week without seeing each other."

What did he say?

- What are you doing? Are you crazy? - Forgive me.

Keep your hands to yourself!

You offend without knowing the situation.

You aren't generous to a man who has lost his sight.

He's blind.

I'm sorry. I didn't know.

Thank you.

Maybe you are a pretty girl, and so is your girlfriend.

Graziella... What a lovely name!

- Graziella what? - Graziella Fabbri.

A girl I met a long time ago was called Graziella,

before the accident.

She was my first love.

She had dark hair, gray eyes and fleshy lips.

And she had a mole here like you.

Hey! You're faking it! Can you see or not?

I can certainly see! And may God preserve my eyesight.

At your age, aren't you ashamed?

I'd be ashamed in your place.

You girls don't have a sense of humor.

Lifeguard! Where is the lifeguard?

I don't know, he was just here. Lifeguard!

- He is never around. - Lifeguard!

Give me a token.

Hello? Who do you want?

Will you call Miss Graziella Fabbri for me?

Call Graziella Fabbri.

Graziella Fabbri, on the phone.

For me? Who is it?

- Hello? Who is it? - It's Roberto.

We weren't supposed to see each other for a week.

I can't make it. I thought of you all night.

It's that crazy Roberto. How did he find me?

Who is with you?

Luciana. You never change. You're always suspicious.

I'm right to be so. You were talking to a guy earlier.

When? You already forgot that handsome guy?

The one who lost his eyesight over you.

Look!

What a son of...

Good girl! I am glad we made peace.

Lifeguard!

This lifeguard is never around.

My child, couldn't you buy a more cheerful one?

I like it.

A girl spends her money to become melancholy?

All her records are laments.

Music is a matter of taste, like women.

Some like them blond and some like them brunette.

I like blonds.

Hurry. We're late.

Come on, move!

- Hello? Oh, Salvatore. - Is it for me?

You have two girls? How are they?

One is a real hottie. The other looks like your type.

She has a certain sweetness.

You keep the sweet one.

Come here, then we'll decide.

Yes, I'm coming. I'll be right there. Bye.

They speak well of Bach, but after all...

- Didn't you go get the records? - No...

Go right away. It's 4,800...

Plus 200 for cigarettes. Bye.

- What are you doing here? - We need a gramophone.

Ask Uncle Mario.

I can't come tonight, I'm busy. Happy birthday.

- You're so rude! - Then why did you invite me? Bye.

- Having a party on the terrace? - Yes.

You're not inviting me?

It will only be young girls there. You would be bored.

You mean I'm old? I enjoy being with girls.

But they'll be bored with you!

Good morning.

You want to look at the fabrics?

No, maybe some other time. Good day.

150 Lira for everything.

Why are these carrots so short?

I don't know. Maybe they shrank in the rain.

- It must have rained a lot on you! - You argue with everyone.

Good morning! I almost didn't recognize you.

- You look a lot better wearing pants. - Wrong. I look better undressed.

- Don't be silly! - I'll accompany you.

- Don't you have anything better to do? - I need to go to the river.

My friend found two girls.

Then don't waste time with me. Run!

I had such peppers this morning!

Dad, I shopped for groceries. You can go.

Good girl. Did you get garlic?

- Yes, garlic and bicarbonate soda. - Good girl.

Remember, at 1:00 p.m. I want the lunch to be ready.

- Yes. - Bye.

You're still here? I thought you were already at the river.

With two girls waiting for you...

- I'll go now. - Maybe they're cute.

You know what the proverb says? "Everything left is lost."

That is why I'm here, because everything left is lost.

If your friend had come, it'd be different.

I can't leave Luciana alone.

We'll do without Luciana. What are you doing Sunday?

- What have you decided? - Let's go. We waited an hour.

- I'm sorry. Goodbye. - Goodbye.

- May I call you on Sunday? - I don't have a phone.

- This is my number. - Beautiful. I'll definitely call you.

Darn it!

Marilyn Monroe is now a call girl. Here is her number.

Because of that scoundrel Romolo...

Do you really want to buy a suit, or is it an excuse to be embraced?

I'll buy it, but will you come to the movies tonight?

You'd buy a suit for a date?

To see each other often, you'd buy a whole wardrobe?

Would you come even if I didn't order anything?

Sure. I won't let such a chance get away!

I don't know if you're kidding or you're serious.

- How do you want your jacket? - One button and tapered shoulders.

And then they say that women wear tight clothes!

- Here. - What should I do with it?

Measure your pants. I'll measure from the waist on up.

Sixty.

I repeat, you are not obliged to buy a suit.

Dad's prices are a bit high, but he's very good.

Do I look like someone who doesn't pay?

I'll give you an advance. 5,000 Lira.

Who is he?

He's the cutter who used to be with us.

Ugo.

You keep a photo of the cutter?

He was good.

Is he dead?

He is, for me.

- See you in Piazza della Pace. - At 9:00 p.m.

- What's your name? - Giovanna. Yours?

Romolo.

Have you seen Romolo?

That scoundrel made me lose two girls.

- What were you doing with two girls? - You can't even handle one!

Yeah, sure!

Don't bother helping me.

I'll help you if you ask me politely.

I'd tell you something else politely.

It's on the tip of my tongue.

- A real man is needed here. - And that's you?

There.

Thank you.

- Give me the bag. - I'll carry it.

You did something spiteful to me, and I am kind to you.

Where are you going? I live over here.

I've thought about you all day.

- Salvatore, you have a girlfriend? - Yes.

She just arrived and got this truffle!

- Women enjoy being with me. - They don't have good taste.

Be quiet, midget!

They are an unlikely couple.

- She is pretty. - But he's nothing to look at.

They pick on me because I get all their girls.

- You could leave them some. - I'll leave all of them now.

What? You don't love me anymore?

Of course! But give me the bag.

- Wait, I'll help you. - What a disaster!

Kid, don't steal the potatoes!

I'm sorry, it broke.

It doesn't matter. I was going to throw it away.

Now you can put my photo in it. I'll bring one tomorrow.

- What was his name? - Ugo.

Ugo, it's over.

- Goodbye. - You're already leaving? Why?

- We can get to know each other. - Some other time.

Are you free tonight?

I have a date.

- But if you insist... - I insist!

We can meet at 9:00 p.m. in Piazza della Pace.

Alright. I'll be there.

- One... Two... - Go!

Bus terminus! The 25 Lira ticket ends here.

Don't push. Everyone, get off. We've arrived.

Get off!

- What's the weather like? - There is a beautiful moon.

- What is that bad odor? - Bad odor?

It's "Arab Flowers" brilliantine. "It assures you success in life."

Arabia of the Bedouins?

What do you know? You put streetcar grease on your hair.

- What do you want? - You always come out. Call your brother.

Are you coming to dance on the terrace tonight?

You have a fixation!

Go on.

Romolo, I'm not going out tonight. My bones are aching.

I am going to bed.

Yes, take care of yourself. I don't feel very well either.

If you don't go out, I won't either.

- What is that strange smell? - I don't smell anything.

As soon as he leaves, I'm going to bed.

I'm going to read Citizens of Space.

Science fiction books are cool.

- Very cool! - Don't call me.

No. In ten minutes I'll be sleeping. Good night.

Look at him.

Lost youth.

You're going out with the crickets tonight as well?

If I find another one in the bed, I won't pay the rent.

Look at him!

You're handsome! Go to the crickets.

I'd like to know where they go every night.

They go flirt with girls. With the easy ones.

Why did I fall in love with your brother? I'm furious.

What about me? I fell in love with yours!

We are two idiots, throwing away our best years.

- What are you doing here? - I lied to you earlier.

Please, go away. I'm waiting for Giovanna, the woman from the tailors.

- She gave you a date here? - I was lucky.

- Me too. - What do you mean?

I've got a date with her too.

Then she's provoking us! She's making fun of us.

That brazen, rude, illiterate woman!

When I see her tomorrow, I'll tell her...

- Good evening. - Am I late?

- We thought you wouldn't come. - Why? We had a date.

Can we go or are we waiting for someone else?

Did you give him or me a date?

Both. What's wrong with that?

I feel more comfortable with two rather than one.

Did you give me or him the date first?

You want to get angry because of that?

Let's make it heads or tails. Tails to you, heads to me.

Tails. Good night.

Excuse me, I must talk to my friend.

Beautiful!

Don't be an idiot. Let's both go and see what happens.

Whatever happens is what it was meant to be.

Beautiful, beautiful.

You got here too late. There are already too many of us.

- Go away. - Beautiful.

Go away!

Are we going to the movies or dancing?

Dancing. There's a nice outdoor place where you can see all of Rome.

It's refined and very elegant.

You're not dancing?

Let's dance.

What does Salvatore see in her? I still don't know.

Look how closely they're dancing. He must see something.

You should dance closely too. Maybe you'll have fun!

- Stop it! - These girls don't know how to have fun.

There's nothing wrong with kissing someone. It's a whim.

A proverb says, "A kiss doesn't create a hole."

Are you sure you want to give it to me?

- I could make you eat it. - That's how the game works!

- You're really hustling. - Sure.

You, instead, look like an old lady.

You do a good impression with that broom.

Try doing "loves me, loves me not." Maybe she loves you.

- Would you mind? - No, you can marry her.

If you want to dance with her too...

I'm not even looking at her. I have some dignity left.

I don't like when two people eat from the same plate.

Until yesterday, you ate from my plate. Remember Jolanda?

I like that plate. I'm going to have another spoonful.

Careful you don't choke.

Here. Squeeze this.

- Romolo isn't dancing. - Romolo, dance.

Yes, I'll dance.

Giovanna, I don't want you to kiss me.

I want to kiss you. No need for anything in return.

I like receiving kisses and giving them. Otherwise it's no fun.

Then we are soul twins!

Let's go hide back there.

- What'd you put in your head? - I want to run to paradise with you.

I meant on your hair. Your smell...

You don't like it? It's the brilliantine.

If you want me to kiss you, first go shampoo your hair.

- Is the doorman here? - It's me. Why?

I walked up six flights of stairs. Where does Mr. De Stefano live?

Go down again. He's on the other stairway, on the last floor.

If you find him, give him this special delivery letter, please.

It arrived yesterday and could be urgent.

Poor thing!

- You aren't looking at me. - I know myself.

If I look at a woman too much, I fall in love with her.

- You're fast! - Don't squeeze, I know myself.

Giovanna, give me a kiss and we won't see each other again.

- I'll disappear from your life. - Then I'll kiss you.

I'd give you a gold token for the way you kiss.

I have a flair for kissing. I put passion in things.

So I noticed! My ears are buzzing.

Romolo does penance!

Penance is to be paid. Come on, guys!

Be quiet!

What are you doing? Those are the house keys.

- Here. - Don't lose it.

- This is mine. - To me.

- Who does this belong to? - Me.

Now go down there... Like this.

Calm down, guys.

- Who do you want these from? - From Marisa.

- How many? - One.

- Marisa! - Here I am.

Don't hurt me.

Right on Dad's watch. Darn it!

Stop! Stop!

Who do you want these from?

- From Annamaria. - How many?

- Ten. - Close your eyes.

Clench your teeth.

Darn it. You broke my watch!

- What will I tell Dad? - He'll kick you more.

Who does this belong to?

It's Boccio's.

Easy!

I'm going.

- Why? You're not having fun? - It doesn't take much for you to have fun.

- As long as I'm enjoying it. - Enjoy! Goodbye.

- You're leaving? - You must do penance.

My penance was being with you, idiots!

What do we care, guys? Let's dance. Music!

Now you see her like this,

but 20 years ago my mom looked like Queen Margherita.

And she is a good housewife.

Talk about your mom but keep your hands off me.

I put my arm around your waist.

My waist isn't that high!

I'll put my hands in my pocket. OK?

Can I talk about love with my hands in my pocket?

Darn it! At my age, I've fallen in love like a kid.

Romolo is right. I've lost all my dignity.

Have you two known each other a long time?

We tossed a coin over who got the nanny's milk.

He is a good boy, but he has one flaw.

He has no tact. He's rough, has no feeling.

For example, sometimes I take the bus and go to Appia Antica all alone,

to see the sunset.

Not him. He doesn't care about sunsets.

This evening, when he saw us together,

he said that it doesn't take much for me to have fun.

He was in a bad mood because you were with me.

Now you'll be in a bad mood because I'm going to sleep.

- Do you know the Big Dipper? - Yes.

The last star at the end on the right.

Look at it at midnight on the dot.

I'll look at it too, and we'll think of each other.

Alright.

Bye, love.

What did he say to you?

That I have no feelings and don't like sunsets?

- I know why he goes to Appia! - What are you doing here?

- You have my house keys. - Right, penance! Excuse me.

Forget it. Good night.

Listen, what else did Salvatore say about me?

That you were in a bad mood because you saw us together.

I don't ever think about you, and I don't like you.

Don't get angry. OK, you don't like me. We don't have to marry.

I wouldn't even like kissing you. You understand that I don't like you?

I understand very well, but I don't think you wouldn't enjoy it.

Who is it that wants to kiss you? Nobody wants to kiss you in here.

Look. There isn't a soul here.

Let's hide!

It's Dad.

If I were you, I wouldn't be upset.

Your wife cheats on you? Alright.

If you feel like it one day, kill her.

- But then I'd go to jail. - In Italy, the law helps you.

If you kill your wife, you get 30 years.

But if you kill her because she cheats on you, you're acquitted.

Right. The motive is honor.

Are you seriously thinking about killing your wife?

Not me. But now that you make me think of it,

how can I get it out of my head?

- This will be a long discussion. - Are you uncomfortable?

- You're crushing me. - Sacrifice yourself.

- Guys, look who's here! - Tell us all about it.

- Let us know. - Are you afraid of telling us?

Leave me alone. You are really bad-mannered.

If it was your sister, you wouldn't ask for particulars.

You dumped your friend tonight.

It's not my fault if women like me and not him.

Wow!

Divorce stems from an important principle.

If two people don't love each other anymore,

must they remain together because they once said "yes?"

Now they say "no!"

You still think that you don't like my kisses?

Don't get conceited about a kiss. I gave it to you by chance.

Well, I'll be going.

Good night and thank you.

Do you kiss everyone?

The ones I like. Then I choose who I like the best.

You do tests.

You taste watermelons to see if they are red, right?

I kiss boys to see which one I like the most.

Then let me know if I am your watermelon. Good night.

Good night.

Why did you give him the house keys?

That scoundrel! He's not coming and it's almost midnight.

I told you to get the other set.

Where can he be? He seemed nervous tonight.

- How long can this last? - He's seeing how long I'll be nervous!

You could take advantage and go to the doorman's room

and pretend to be a doorman.

Otherwise, the tenants will forget!

- Goodbye and good night. - Good night.

Here he is!

- Why are you here at this hour? - I'm ill.

- So? - It's not my fault.

I've got a fever and have to go to bed.

You don't want to use my bed, do you?

Should I lie on the floor?

Come into our home and have coffee.

Thanks.

Here he is.

- Did you forget your father? - Don't remind me, I'll be depressed.

You should be depressed, having left me outside the house.

In your place, I would be mortified.

What would change? You waited anyway.

- Bye, Annamaria. - Bye, Marisa.

- Romolo? - Yes?

You're still nervous? You seem more nervous than before.

- What do you want? - Nothing.

Well, good night and happy birthday.

He's burning up. He has a fever.

You'll make a sacrifice tonight and sleep on the floor.

What if he stays a week in bed or never gets up again?

- I'll get up! - Let's go get a mattress.

You have a fever? Let me feel your pulse.

- My head... - It's midnight!

There it is!

- Are you in a trance? - Worse. I am in love.

I can tell that from your face.

- With who? - Giovanna.

- What did you do with her? - You can't imagine how we kissed.

But that's not it. It's wonderful to be in love.

You feel like a flower that opens its petals in the morning.

You, a flower?

It's wonderful, Romolo! You feel light...

And your heart tingles, like when you drink mineral water.

We're strange.

We are fanatic, give ourselves airs, are hot shots with women...

but our hearts fall in love too.

- It's funny. - What about her?

Right now she's at the window, thinking of me.

Both of us are looking at the same star.

- The last one of the Big Dipper. - How do you know?

Idiot! I taught you this nonsense to tell women.

And don't think too much, or you'll get meningitis, moron!

I'll give him the Big Dipper!

Who took my pajamas?

- Listen... - Knock before entering.

- Where are my pajamas? - Being washed.

What do I do now?

- What is this? - A garter belt.

A garter belt at your age?

How else should I hold up my stockings?

With a string, an elastic, everything but a garter belt.

Nobody will look at you, anyway.

At 15 with a garter belt!

Who knows what's in the heads of women.

Women...

We'd be so much better off without them.

Who can it be at this hour?

Romolo, Salvatore is here.

Romolo, I have to sleep here. The streetcar driver has the mumps.

You're all I need tonight.

What would we be without women?

Like plants without chlorophyll.

I read about it in Science and Life.

Chlorophyll gives light to plants.

Like women do to us.

I feel sorry for you.

I'm turning the light off.

You get light from chlorophyll.

Darn it!

Swear.

- What do you want? - Swear you really kissed her.

I swear.

How did you kiss her? There are many ways to kiss a girl.

There are kisses which aren't important.

We kissed in a rather important way.

Did she return your kisses?

I think she really got hit hard.

It almost scares me. You know why?

- Are you listening to me? - Yes, go on.

She is a girl that, if I feel like it...

- I could marry her. - I'm glad!

Then I won't say what I was about to tell you.

- What was it? - It's about your future bride.

What?

I kissed her too.

- What did you say? - I kissed her too.

You don't have to put your hands on me.

- Swear it. - I swear.

- When did you kiss her? - Last night.

After you left her. I was waiting inside the building.

I even heard you say that I don't like sunsets.

Giovanna enters, saying, "Good evening". I say, "Good evening".

Then one word led to another...

And I gave her a never-ending kiss.

Wow! There are a lot of scumbags around, but nobody like women.

Do you think you behaved nicely with me?

Why? We've always shared women. Is Giovanna different?

Yes, Giovanna is different. Don't you ever dare again.

- Be quiet, idiot! - You are an idiot!

Don't ever try that again! Next time, I'll bust you in half!

- Have you two gone crazy? - Hold still.

What will you bust?

- Go away! - Stop it!

Go wash up, because it's late and we must make the beds.

Go on!

You are worse than two kids.

I bet they're arguing over last night's idiotic girl.

For once, couldn't they argue over us?

If I did my hair like this, would Salvatore notice me?

Don't get your hopes up. The other day I put lipstick on.

Romolo said, "Did you eat pasta with tomato sauce?"

You should've reasoned with me instead of jumping on me like a madman.

- Do you agree that I'm right? - I understand now.

Salvatore, show me that you're a man.

You said you wouldn't look at her in the face again.

Go on. I want to see if you're capable

of going past Giovanna's store without looking inside.

Go on.

Give me that satisfaction. Show me I have a shrewd friend.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

If you came for the suit, you can try it on in two days.

If you've come for my daughter, she said she was going to buy a record.

Thank you very much. Good day.

The shoulders look good but the sleeves are a bit long.

No. Why? You see?

There. The sleeve is right.

- You're too short. - Me?

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Uncle, I'll serve the lady. - She's already been served.

Thank you.

- This is my 5,000 Lira bill. - Do you recognize it?

The phone number of a girlfriend is on it.

- At times money goes around... - I'll have you go around!

Here's the change. We'll settle accounts later.

Don't embarrass me. Take it from my salary.

Go get the publicity van. Hurry!

That is the stupidest age for a man.

At your age, few stupid things are done. Goodbye.

Do you have a record with cheerful music?

There is no more cheerful music. It finished!

Get in, come on!

Are you still angry about last night?

Let's make peace.

You have a heart of stone.

Come on, get in!

Don't be mean. Let's make peace.

Make peace. At your age I didn't make peace and still regret it.

That's right, madam, thanks. Get in.

Attention! Attention!

This record is on sale at Mario Prutti's, Radio For Everyone.

- How many men have you kissed? - I told you.

Gianni, Renato, Franco...

- The guy from Fregene... That's it. - And Salvatore?

- Right, Salvatore too. - You'd mentioned a certain Ugo.

Ugo, yes... But Ugo was something else.

- Why? - He was our cutter. And then...

- And then? - I really cared for him.

- He's the one in the photo? - Yes.

Your watermelon.

We were crazy about each other.

When I saw him my legs shook.

He wanted to marry me.

He said he couldn't live without me.

Instead, he is alive and well!

You have made me melancholy.

Come here. I'll chase away these thoughts.

We've been here a half hour and nobody has come by.

He wasn't handsome, but he had such green eyes.

- Like mine. - Yours are black.

Yes, but when I make love, they become green.

They'll stay black today!

Let's go, or we'll be late.

You're leaving me with one green eye and a black one?

They'll think I am a Siberian cat.

Darn it. This day had gotten off to a good start.

Salvatore, want a ride?

- You've been nervy all day! - Get on!

- Leave me, I want to be alone. - Leave him alone. He's thoughtful.

When he puts his mind to it, he can even think!

I'd shout to all of Rome that I care for you.

You left the loudspeaker on. Everyone can hear you.

All of Rome must know.

All of Rome must know.

So much for Salvatore!

This record is on sale at Mario Prutti's...

- The shoe! - Pass it to the winger!

Scoundrels! Give me my moccasin!

When I get you, I'll make you stay in bed a week!

You had to give me the mumps.

Didn't you have a close relative to stay with?

37.5. Good! I've almost recovered. Here.

- You could have a relapse. - Who?

Put it under your tongue. It works better.

This is how Mom taught me.

Salvatore, there are five rascals here!

- Just a minute. - Don't cause confusion.

Too bad it's no longer contagious!

You look like an Easter Egg.

- You got the mumps! - It's an ugly illness.

- If it degenerates, it's bad. - You can forget about women.

I don't remember them. I've been this way for ten days!

You've recovered now. Get up.

Guys, don't be shy.

If you want to lie down in bed with me, go ahead.

Savages! You don't have any manners!

- Stop it! - Salvatore, Mom said to drink it all.

- The medicine! - Good!

Your sister has become cute. She'll be just fine in two years.

Finally we have a friend with a cute sister!

Romolo and Giovanna are here. They just came through the building door.

- What happened? - The thermometer.

I told you to put it under your tongue!

- Are they coming up? - Yes.

Does Romolo know I don't want to see him?

- Maybe he came to make peace. - And Giovanna?

- She came to visit you. - I can't see her like this.

Excuse me, Mr. Alvaro, I have visitors. Leave and take him.

What? Are you mad? Where are you taking me?

- Watch out. - Oh, God, I'm falling. Outlaw!

- Where are they taking me? - What is going on?

Giovanna is here to see Salvatore.

- Don't push. - Open the door.

- You don't have the keys? - I'll tell him that we're here.

You'll like Dad. He is so kind! He is very patient.

- Dad, this is Giovanna. - Come in.

- You could have put a tie on. - Over the pajama top?

Come in.

- Let them in. - They went into Romolo's home.

- What? - He brought her to meet his father.

Come on, boys! Come on!

- Watch out. - Easy...

Scoundrels!

You went for a nice trip.

- It's good. - Give some to your brother.

So you're engaged.

Good. I'm glad.

And you came to tell me. Good for you.

I am his father. I can give you advice.

If I may, I would like to tell you something.

- What? - Not to you, to him! My son.

- Come, Romolo. - What do you want?

That is Dad when he was young.

- Do you think I will play along with you? - What?

It's the third time that you've brought a girl home, saying she's your fiancée.

- This is the right one. - They all were!

You should be discreet.

Every time you see a girl, you introduce her to your father.

Anyway, this time you won't set foot in my room.

Excuse us, but I wanted to find out how deep his feelings were.

Giovanna, that is Dad as a young man.

I know. He looks like you but he is more handsome.

You should have seen me when I was 20!

I swam across the Tiber.

Dad, you're telling us that story again?

Marisa, get us some Vermouth to drink.

- It's finished. - It's finished?

Then we'll offer Giovanna the wine Father Pellegrino gave you.

Romolo, you know we can't open that bottle.

- It belongs to your poor mother. - She'd be happy if you drank it.

Today is the right day. I have a fiancée.

This bottle has a story.

Dad moved away because when he hears it, he gets emotional.

Father Pellegrino gave it to him when they got married.

He said, "Drink it for your golden wedding anniversary."

Then Mom died and the bottle remained closed.

Your father has more heart than you. You could've avoided opening it.

This is water! He even drank Father Pellegrino's bottle.

And he closed it! He'll hear me now.

Don't embarrass him. Forget it.

He won't be embarrassed. You obviously don't know him.

Marisa, go to Annamaria and have her lend you some vermouth.

- Dad! - What is it? I'm coming.

How embarrassing!

There is a package for you. It's a suit.

- A tip? - If you hadn't asked, you'd have it.

Bravo, kids! If there had been this freedom in my days...

What is this package?

Maybe the condominium finally got me a doorman's uniform.

This is my suit. Great! You've already finished it.

- Are you going to a party? - There are few suits like this.

- I believe it! - You don't like it?

Only Englishmen wear suits like this one.

- Are you English? - I'll go try it on. Excuse me.

- Did your father make that suit? - Yes.

- Who is paying for it? - I don't know. I brought the invoice.

- Romolo? - He's in the other room.

Darn him!

What a lovely suit!

Who is this handsome young man? What a figure!

He changed the tile again.

It's just a loan.

- Look! - I've never seen anything like it.

- I like her! - Look!

She's better than a bottle of water in the desert.

- I'm climbing over there. - You'll fall.

I'll do something crazy!

She has those lips...

- They're like a black woman's. - You're right.

- We can't see! - Where are you going?

- Look who is here. - What are you wearing, Romolo?

- You look like a prisoner. - All you need are knickerbockers.

Salvatore, look. Giovanna's boyfriend has a new suit.

- A mannequin. - Did you undress a puppet?

You losers! You'd like to have a suit like this.

You could go around with your head held high.

Now you can go to the bathrooms marked "gentlemen".

If he had a suit like that made to get engaged,

imagine what yours will look like when you're his best man.

You don't want to make a bad impression on Giovanna!

Romolo is making a fool of you!

He steals your girlfriend and they get engaged.

Go away. I'm tired of you.

- Out! - Calm down.

And don't die in the night.

I'll make this quite clear, and tell your mother,

I'm not paying the rent this month.

Why not?

I am fed up with you and your friends!

- Where are you going? - To look for a girlfriend.

It's 5:00 a.m. and it's still closed.

- A table for four. - Please.

- Good evening, sir. - Hello.

See what a lovely place I've brought you to? Do you like it?

- Yes, but do you have money for it? - Of course.

My friends will give me a discount.

- Who is the chicken for? - For Romolo and Giovanna.

You're taking it to them? I wouldn't do it.

- Did you order chicken? - Yes.

- Do you have money? - Yes.

- Let me see. - Here.

Alright.

Is the chicken ancient Roman too?

To our love.

Watch out, don't soil the suit. You haven't paid for it yet.

This is the life I would like to have.

Carefree and with a lot of money.

Think how wonderful it would be if one of these rich men adopted me.

A friend of mine was adopted by Prince Alfieri.

And now he lives the life of a gentleman.

I'd like to go to my father and say, "Prince Alfieri wants me as his son."

It would be very satisfying for him.

Giovanna! Look who is here!

- Where were you? - I changed neighborhoods.

That's why we couldn't find you! We called often.

Gianni is at our table with his wife, Renata, and Ugo with his girlfriend.

- Remember Ugo? - I don't care about him.

Excuse me.

- Who is his girlfriend? - Quirino's sister.

There they are. She's the blond one.

- Don't be finicky. Hi. - Hi, Ugo.

Excuse us.

She is his girlfriend? He has poor taste now.

- He used to have good taste. - What is your friend's name?

Sorry, I didn't introduce myself. Leonetto Berselli.

- Bye, Leonetto. - Bye, Giovanna.

Come to our table later. My pleasure!

- Who is he? - An old friend.

- He has a stupid face. - He's a very intelligent young man.

- He has a degree. - A lot of idiots have degrees.

- He's going to work in South America. - Yes, straightening bananas.

- You are so rude! - Don't like me teasing your friends?

Do I tease yours? Look at them.

- Those legs look like prickly pears. - Are you wearing underpants?

You judge a man by his legs?

- Eat. - I was just looking at you.

- Eat! - Darn!

- Who did you do that to? - Ugo.

- What did that gesture mean? - That I won't go to their table.

If I hadn't been here, you'd have gone.

- What reasoning! - If you want to go to Ugo, go on.

- If you don't stop, I will leave. - You won't see me again.

You're leaving?

- Chariot, sir? - Forget it! Giovanna!

I won't do it again, I promise.

- You don't want to make peace? - No.

- Let's make peace. - No.

Why were you so obnoxious?

You made everyone notice you. You looked around, laughed...

You have a boyfriend now.

- So I can't laugh? - What are you doing now?

Getting angry again? Giovanna...

I still haven't seen your home.

May I come up?

What do you think I meant?

I just wanted to see if you have any furniture that we can use when we marry.

Don't worry about furniture. It's too soon.

I'll show you my home during the day, when Dad is awake.

Giovanna, let's go to the store to listen to records.

- Some wonderful ones arrived. - I am sleepy.

- Just five minutes. - Best to hear them during the day.

I'll wait for you. If you change your mind, knock on the shutter.

- Alright, wait for me. - Bye.

Wait, wait...

- Dad, you're still up. Working? - Come.

There is a surprise for you.

When you said you had a boyfriend, I wasn't very happy.

But now that I've met him, I am very happy.

He is a good boy.

- Perfect. - Dad, but here...

This will disappear. Look.

Here. Try this one.

- What did you tell my father? Are you mad? - Give me a kiss.

- How is the jacket? - Fine, Dad.

Giovanna, give me a kiss.

- No. Stop saying "Dad, Dad". - Are you playing the trumpet?

You two are arguing?

He is not my boyfriend. My boyfriend is someone else.

Hear her? She has another boyfriend and you don't say anything?

Giovanna, you don't have two boyfriends, do you?

You took advantage of my illness.

Make peace. If you begin arguing as soon as you start dating...

Dad, stop it!

Hello? Who is this?

Giovanna, you come.

- I can only hear music. - Music?

Giovanna, don't speak, I understand.

You can't come because your dad is still awake.

You'll come when he's asleep, huh?

Listen to the music. I'm playing the record you like.

With this music I get certain thoughts.

I want to give you a kiss.

I'd give you as many kisses as there are stars in the sky.

A big star, a big kiss.

A little star...

a little kiss.

Scoundrel! I taught him those lines.

Caressing you is like the waves caressing the sea.

It would be like diving into a sea of happiness.

You don't know how to swim! Romolo, the sea is dangerous.

Hello? Who's speaking?

- Salvatore. - Did I dial your number?

No, you dialed the right number. I am at Giovanna's house.

Stop bothering my girlfriend!

You want to be the boss in my home? Why do you say all these lies?

Go to sleep! Go away!

- Let me say bye to Dad. - I'll say bye for you.

- You see? Dad liked me. - Don't call him "Dad!"

Hello?

Oh, it's you, Romolo! Did you call?

Salvatore? He must have played a trick on you.

I was already in bed.

No, you dialed the wrong number.

Are you angry? Don't start with your jealousy.

Or else what?

Come in. Watch out for your head.

See how easy it is? And you said no for three years.

Let's smoke a cigarette, listen to a record...

Entering like this, at night, like two thieves...

Will you promise that we'll only listen to records?

I swear.

Just a moment.

- How embarrassing! - What are you doing here, scoundrel?

Uncle Mario, I had free time and came to straighten up.

Alright. Now go and straighten up somewhere else.

- And don't come back. You're fired! - Alright.

- If you need a hand with her... - Out!

Magda... You seem perturbed.

Come, I'll have you listen to a microgroove.

- Excuse me. Thank you. - You're welcome.

Salvatore, go away. I won't open up.

Who is it?

It's Salvatore.

Salvatore! What do you want?

Giovanna, tell me the truth.

Were you happy to see me tonight after so long?

As soon as I recovered, I came to you.

I was happy.

Happy? If Romolo knew what we did tonight, what would he say?

- He wouldn't be happy. - Why? What happened?

- You don't remember? - Just a kiss...

But what a kiss!

Did you forget you're Romolo's girlfriend? You don't like him now?

Yes, I like him, but he has an ugly personality.

He is jealous, and checks up on me.

He's capable of spying on me behind doors.

Bye, Romolo. Go to sleep now. This joke has lasted too long. Good night.

Open!

- Go to sleep. - Tomorrow we'll settle accounts.

Alright.

What is going on with these boys? Which is your boyfriend?

Romolo. The one I just sent away.

- And the one who called me "Dad?" - He's Salvatore, Romolo's friend.

I kissed him and never saw him again.

A kiss? So you cared for him?

I liked him. There's a big difference!

You know how many times I kissed your mother in the six years we dated?

Three. And you distribute kisses. Which of the two do you like the most?

I like Romolo, but he has an ugly personality.

We argued at dinner tonight.

While Salvatore... I like Salvatore too.

You like them both? You don't know what you want.

You're right.

Do you think it's easy to know if a boy is teasing or being serious?

If you kiss a guy, you are considered easy.

If you don't, he leaves and doesn't look for you anymore.

Maybe he was the right one who would have loved you his whole life.

Go to sleep. Good night.

Good night, Dad. Don't worry, I don't do anything bad.

- Who is the one that calls me "Dad"? - Salvatore.

Salvatore... He is a good boy, serious.

He stayed and talked to me about my work for an hour.

- He said... - What?

That he'd like to learn to be a tailor.

Dad, he was kidding. See? He enchants you too.

I don't think he is joking.

I think he is seriously in love with you.

You made a mistake in sending him away.

Yes, maybe I did.

Hello?

Who is it?

What?

I don't understand.

Who?

Salvatore was here. He said he was going...

He was going...

to jump in the river and kill himself.

I don't know why. He said to tell you because it may please you.

Where?

I think he said...

- Where are you jumping? - The new bridge.

The new bridge.

- She hung up. - Was she frightened?

Her voice was shaking.

She'll take a quarter of an hour to get to the bridge.

Make me another sweet cappuccino.

You're sleeping? Weren't you going to kill yourself?

Is there a precise time for that? I wanted an extra half hour.

You could've woken me up later! I came here for nothing.

I waited to jump to see you one last time, and tell you how much I love you.

- Now that you've seen me, jump! - Are you encouraging me?

- You want to feel guilty? - You said you would jump, so jump.

I'll jump.

If you jump, I will become a nun!

From this height, even the best swimmer would drown.

- Don't drag on so! - You asked for it.

If you tell me you care for me, I won't jump.

Go on!

Salvatore! Help!

Will you give me a kiss now?

Scoundrel! You tricked me! Let me go!

Let me go! Let me go!

Come, give me a hand. What did you do?

- Did you fall? - He wanted to kill himself, Chief.

- I saw him jump in the river. - Come with me.

- Why? - It is an offense.

- It's forbidden to kill oneself? - A suicide is a murder.

- I didn't commit suicide. - That's why you're going to prison.

- Or it would've been the morgue. - Have pity.

I was desperate because I'd argued with my girlfriend.

She is your girlfriend? Miss, come here, please.

Is it true you're this young man's girlfriend?

- Yes. - Are you two in love?

It's a great love.

- Then why were you arguing? - That's what I always tell her.

If you promise not to argue again, I'll let you go.

It will be idyllic, right, Giovanna?

Goodbye, Chief. Thank you.

Give me a kiss. They're looking at us.

We'll show them we've made peace.

Do you want me to end up in prison because I love you?

What is it? You don't like my kisses anymore?

You know why I came to you last night?

To give you this. You sent me away without letting me speak.

- It's lovely, huh? - Beautiful!

It is a ring covered with diamonds.

- I can't accept it. - Why not?

- I am Romolo's girlfriend. - You don't like me anymore?

Yes, I like you. I like both of you.

Then for a while we'll both be your boyfriends.

But then you must decide.

Will you decide?

I can give you the ring right away.

Nando!

Come down. Salvatore killed himself.

- What is going on? - My friend killed himself.

- What is it? - They say Salvatore killed himself.

Oh, come on! Today is Thursday. Surely he's at home eating gnocchi.

You stay here! Mrs. Cecilia, Salvatore is back.

- He's back! - My handsome son!

- Mom! - Your mother's heart! What did you do?

Why did you want to kill yourself? Don't you like staying at home?

Did I not give you everything? I was worried all night.

You didn't think of your mother who has a heart problem?

You almost killed me! Scoundrel son without a heart!

I have high blood pressure, you delinquent!

You are just like your father. I'll fix you!

I'm glad his mother gave it to him.

- That way, I don't have to do it. - What are you doing here?

I brought you a gift.

- You like it? - You're giving me a clock?

It's a special clock. It tells me everything.

- What are you saying? - I'm coming to your home tonight.

I won't say what time I'm setting it, and will close it in a drawer.

Tomorrow morning tell me at what time it rang.

You went out last night and returned at 9:00 in the morning.

This must never happen again.

Are these your ideas, or does someone help you?

- What is this? - An old family ring.

No, it's Mrs. Cecilia's ring.

Salvatore sometimes takes it to be a hit with women.

Then he has them return it after getting what he wanted.

Your friend is shrewd!

- Return it immediately or... - Or?

You won't ever see me again.

I'm glad that you spoke like that.

Now I know what you are like. Just think, I would've married you.

But you come here with a clock saying, "I'll set it, put it in a drawer..."

This means that if I married you,

I'd have a jealous husband who spies on me and gives me a hard time.

Romolo, let's be good friends, and that's it.

- If it's what you want... - It's better, believe me.

Think it over.

- I thought it over. - Good. Best wishes for everything.

Salvatore will pay for this!

- You know what my dream is? - No.

- To stop being a lifeguard. - Lifeguard!

Lifeguard!

- He came to make fun. - You're going?

Of course, I'm the lifeguard!

Cabin.

Let's make peace.

I wanted to hit you, but I didn't. Be content with that, and go.

- What did he say? - Nothing. He has no sense of humor.

Let's go over there. They keep calling me here.

- Do you know her? - I wish!

How could you have thought of having two boyfriends?

Be truthful, you just wanted to make me jealous.

No, it's how I am. I like to kiss boys.

- Am I wrong? - No, you're right.

A girl always tries to be loved. I can't live without being in love.

And then... if I must be truthful...

When Ugo left me, I feared nobody would love me again.

I am here. You found the right shoe for your foot.

When you kiss me, I hear the national anthem playing.

- Slap me. - Why?

I don't want to talk nonsense anymore. I want to change.

- How will you change? - You'll help me.

When I say something foolish, you slap me.

Poor face!

Girls like me because I'm handsome, cheerful and I entertain them.

They come to me and they care for me.

But since I met you,

I realized that it's more important to give love than receive it.

Maybe I'm talking nonsense.

But loving means having something inside.

You may be poor on the outside but you are rich inside.

Don't bother with him. He won't marry you!

- Leonetto, what are you doing here? - I'm spying on you.

Look. Ugo is there with his girlfriend.

- Come on and be quiet! - You didn't lose that bad habit.

- You should slap him too. - But he'll hit me even more.

- She is my girlfriend. - My pleasure.

He is my boyfriend.

Finally you found someone who lets you wear a bikini.

- Who is he? - Don't you remember my ex-boyfriend?

- I've never seen him. - The other evening at dinner.

- What? Are you crazy? - You're right, sorry. That was Romolo.

You get your boyfriends mixed up now?

Don't argue now. Do it after you're married.

- Let's go for a swim. - Bye, Giovanna.

- Bye. - Go on...

Don't pull up with your nose!

Did you like that guy? What did you see in him?

I don't even know.

Let's dance. Don't get angry. It's history.

Well? Have you decided what my penance is?

- You must kiss someone. - I am here and ready.

Someone?

Is she going to kiss that fatso?

Come here. I must tell you something.

It's a penance.

Wait.

- What's gotten into you? - Why? What did I do?

- You made me drink dirty water. - Is that why you chased me?

What other reason could there be?

- Didn't you notice I gave you a kiss? - You gave me a kiss? When?

Wasn't it a penance kiss?

Was it a real kiss?

I've loved you for ten years and you never noticed?

- Ten years? How old are you? - Fifteen.

I was in front of you for years and you didn't know I existed.

And yet I came out every time you called for Salvatore.

You got on my nerves!

Let's go dance.

Come on.

Isn't the girl dancing closely to Romolo your sister?

Excuse me a moment.

- May I? - What do you want?

- I need to talk to you alone. - Let's go.

- What happened? - I don't know.

Well?

I don't like the way you dance with my sister.

I was dancing very well!

Very funny! Don't dance with Annamaria anymore. Understand?

- No. - You understood perfectly.

- I don't think so. - My patience has a limit.

- You did enough with Giovanna. - I don't care about her.

You did enough with her when she was my girlfriend.

She wasn't really your girlfriend.

She was more mine than yours.

What did you do with her?

What did you do with her?

- If you don't talk, I'll tell you. - I'll be silent as a tomb.

Everything, Romolo. Everything!

But remember, mum's the word.

In fact...

I'm afraid she's expecting a baby.

- Giovanna! - Are you crazy?

Excuse me.

- What happened? Who was that? - I don't know him.

Good girl, Giovanna. My compliments!

I've heard wonderful things about you.

He slaps the mother of your children and you stay here?

And you believed it? I thank you.

You were never able to understand me.

What kind of man are you?

Why did you slap my girlfriend?

Listen to him! He wants an explanation.

I should slap you when you talk nonsense. Here!

- What did I say? - Giovanna is expecting your child.

- I heard you. - It's not true.

- You tell him. - You said it.

It can't be! You know...

- You got her pregnant by mail! - Get out of here.

Having children like that isn't fun.

Come, Giovanna. We must finish talking.

- That's who slapped me! - It's you?

He didn't do it on purpose. Isn't that true, young man?

I'm sorry, I thought it was her.

I told you he made a mistake. Excuse me.

- Now you need to explain. - It's none of your business.

- You know I'm nosy. - But you must not slap anymore.

You have to be more condescending.

Do you remember why we argued?

You ran around the round table to avoid being caught.

If you'd let me slap you, we'd have made peace.

You left me because I didn't let you slap me?

- You loved me so much! - That's the way I love.

- I hit you because I loved you. - No, because you are violent!

Otherwise, why did you slap me two minutes ago?

You're right.

Maybe I slapped you because I still love you.

Great reasoning.

You can't be upset. You can tell a mile away you still love me.

Let's make peace.

- You're dying to make peace. - No.

I like you because you answer back.

Otherwise, what's the pleasure in making love?

Give me a kiss instead of talking.

Lifeguard!

Not here, people are looking.

Where did you put your girlfriend?

Jole? She saw what the situation was, and went home.

I thought she was stupider.

Go get dressed and we'll leave together.

Giovanna, where are you?

I'm sorry you listened to him. You didn't believe him, right?

I am not angry.

That's good! Did you tell off that scoundrel Ugo?

- Did you put him in his place? - Yes.

Then go get dressed and we'll leave.

I am leaving with Ugo.

What? You're leaving with Ugo?

Darn it! How can I tell you?

- I can't. - What do you need to tell me?

- Promise you won't get angry? - Speak up.

Ugo and I still love each other.

Darn it! That's great news to give me.

I'm sorry, but Ugo and I loved each other even before.

We broke up because of spite.

I thought I'd removed him from my heart, but instead...

I guess I kept on thinking of him.

And you made a fool of Romolo and me all this time.

No, I really liked you two. I tried to fall in love with someone else.

Who knows... Maybe just to spite him.

But I didn't succeed.

You're not ready yet?

- Did your dad make this suit? - Yes.

Turn around.

It has a flaw. Your father's usual flaw.

When I go back to working for you, these flaws will be gone.

Come by the store, I'll fix it. Bye. Let's go.

Just one word.

Now I am embarrassed. How can I say it to you?

Come on, Salvatore. We're confessing everything today.

- I'll make a bad impression. - What happened?

- It's not because we broke up. - What is it?

- Mom's ring. - Sorry, I almost forgot.

I'd have left it with you, but it's the only jewel she has.

- I understand. - I wonder what you think of me.

That you'll give this ring to another girl. Bye.

I am glad to have met you.

Best wishes for everything.

Darn it!

Did you make peace with Giovanna?

I made peace forever. It's over.

- Are you glad? - Yes.

Then I've pleased everyone today.

Is it true there's a flaw in the back?

I think it looks very good.

Let's go home.

- You seem to have grown. - Sure. I'm almost 16.

Wow! Then you're a young lady. You've become a lovely girl.

- What are you doing tonight? - Why?

If you want, we can go out together.

I can't wear this ring. It's a woman's ring.

- You can give it back to me tonight. - Give it back now.

No! I will give it to you.

Understand? I'm giving it to you.

Don't annoy me anymore or I might hit you.

- I know the ring story. - I'll hit you.

- Who? - Put those hands down!

- Who will you hit? - You!

Really? I'll show you. Hold my jacket.

- Go, Romolo! - First round.

Hurt yourselves!

Be quiet. They're studying each other.

- Clenched fists. You're like a girl. - You hit too.

Come on! Paint him red!

Get up.

- Break! - Go away!

Don't touch my face.

I don't give a darn!

Come on, Romolo!

Come on, Romolo!

Bravo, Salvatore!

Presumptuous!

- Let that be a lesson to all of you. - Romolo wins with a knockout.

You're letting the new champ leave without saying goodbye?

- It'll be your turn another day! - I'm scared!

Sitting Bull, Rocky Marciano left. You can get up.

He didn't do anything to you.

Put your jacket on and don't be upset.

Salvatore, have you seen Giovanna?

Excuse me. Goodbye.

- Bye, guys. See you tomorrow. - Bye, Salvatore.

- Did I hurt you? - Your punches don't hurt.

Why did Giovanna go away with Ugo?

- I dumped her. - You dumped her?

Let's stop being clowns, OK?

Life has its serious aspects. Do you know that?

I do know. I've decided to change my life.

I want to work, have a family

and have children who won't be ashamed of their father.

Look at them!

What eyes!

Do you know them?

Shall we start changing our life tomorrow?

- Actually... - Look!

- What do they want? - They wanted to accompany us.

- No! - Why?

- They are our girlfriends. - You make love with them?

- Yes. - Excuse me, then.

Let's go.
