Celestina! Celestina, hurry up!

- Hurry. The bus is leaving!
- I had forgotten this.

What happened?

My poor angel!

Goodbye, Nazareno. Goodbye, Luca.

- Bye!
- Bye!

- Bye, Nazareno!
- Bye, Celestina! Write!

Have a good trip! Bye!

What happened?

Sit here.
Of course you feel sick.

With that piece of bread
on your stomach!

You're crying now? What's the matter?

I've never left before.

Is that a reason to cry? Come on!

- I'll get off. I won't go to Rome!
- Are you crazy?

My brothers are going
to look for a job

and since we're alone now, they
are sending me to Rome to be a maid.

The priest in my town
wrote to some nuns.

They found a place for me,

in a home with good,
God fearing people.

Well? Some people
would pay to go to Rome.

Not me. I like living
in Castelluccio.

You'll like Rome.
Come on, don't cry.

Is your name Celestina?
Will you help me down, please?

Let's hope for the best, sister.
New home, new life and new maid.

Ninnarello, give me something
for the nuns.

Thank you.

Here, sisters.
This is for the chapel.

I'll come by to say hello
to the mother superior.

What are you doing down there?

Mother!

Remember to be good, obedient
and come see us sometimes.

Pray to your guardian angel.

Thank you, mother.

Are you the new maid?

Take the baby.
I've been holding him a hour!

I need some change for the porters.

- We're not eating?
- You're right. I'll take care of it.

- Is your name Agnesina? Gelsomina?
- Celestina.

Celestina, find a baker,
a grocer and buy something.

Give her money!

Here. Hurry up.

Give him to me.

- Madam, will you watch my stuff?
- Yes, go on! Hurry!

She seems a bit dumb.
Look at what she's doing!

Let's hope she is willing to work.
I can't stand it anymore!

Go slowly with that!

He said I went dancing with
Andrea and don't care about him!

Excuse me. I can't find my house.
Did you see a truck here?

Fernando, come hear this.
She doesn't know where she lives.

- What?
- I can't find my house.

Are you lost in the woods?

- Wake up! Aren't you afraid?
- No.

- Do you know where you live or not?
- I arrived this morning.

- It's idiotic!
- It's a new home.

Everything is new here, including us.
Can't you tell?

Do you know your name at least?
We'll take you to the lost and found.

I almost feel like keeping her!
Finders keepers!

Ask some doorman.

- There! I recognize the crying!
- Look at her!

Where is she going?

Dad, will you find my notebooks?
I must do my homework.

In this disaster,
you'll do homework?

- Dad, I found the feathers!
- Take that stuff off.

The teacher will scold me!

Be quiet. Dad is nervous.

If I get a bad grade,
don't get mad at me.

Go away and don't torment me!

- Where is your wife?
- I don't know!

- Dad, do you like Celestina?
- Go find out when we are eating.

Mom, Dad wants to know
when we are eating.

Right away!
What about this young man?

He was eating all the bread.

We're off to a good start!
You talk to people you don't know,

and maybe bring thieves home!
- Me? Madam, are you angry?

I am new.
You must tell me what to do.

The priest told me only to do
what my mistress tells me.

- Now it is your family.
- Let's not exaggerate.

Please don't call me by my first
name. Just do your work.

I will teach you,
but you must make an effort.

Now hurry up and go over there.

- Hurry up!
- What should I do, madam?

There's water on the burner.
When it's boiling, cook the pasta!

My husband is nervous!
I will set the table.

You'll have to take care of Puccio.
He'll sleep with you.

Don't ever pick him up
or he'll get spoiled.

- What if he cries?
- It's good for his lungs.

Understand?

Be a good boy, Puccio.
You're always crying.

Why are you so naughty?

Poor thing.

- Where did they find you?
- Celestina?

Celestina, don't let him cry!
My husband must rest. Poor thing.

- He will get spoiled.
- Walk with him a bit.

Air out the room.

Lullaby! Lullaby!

It takes patience.

Lullaby! Lullaby!

It takes patience.

I saw a nice movie last night.
I liked it, Marcella!

The music has begun!
This goes on every night.

He has a lovely voice.
He could be a tenor.

- Yes, the siren.
- The firemen's siren!

Lullaby! Lullaby!

It takes patience.

Be a good boy, Puccio.

Lullaby! Lullaby!

It takes patience.

Garibaldi was wounded.

His leg was injured.

Garibaldi commands.

He commands the "Bersaglieri".

She's not bad, but has iron hands.
She broke a new faucet!

- Excuse me, dear. Who was it?
- They brought this.

Your hands are covered with flour.
You'll ruin it.

Excuse me, dear.
"Lupus in fabula".

She was soiling a dress
that the seamstress brought.

Yes. I felt like I was born again
in this new home.

My husband too.

I'm not saying we're on a honeymoon,
but everything is different.

What are you doing there?

Instead of eavesdropping,
go open the door!

He was so nice last night
that at a certain point...

Good-day! Open. I'm the plumber.
You called me.

- What happened?
- Is it for the faucet?

I'm the plumber. Do I repair shoes?

This is it.

- It's new and you already broke it?
- I turned it on.

I see. Where'd you get the strength?
You're so little.

You don't get lost anymore?

Did you think I didn't recognize you?

Why don't you talk?
What happened to you?

Did your tongue fall
or you don't like me?

- Answer. Understand?
- I understood very well.

I don't talk to strangers.

I hadn't thought of that! Sorry.
If that's the reason...

May I? Fernando Maestrelli.

Give me your hand.
See? I'm giving you mine.

Now we know each other.
You can answer.

- What's the name of your hometown?
- Castelluccio.

So you do speak!

Are you all so pretty
at Castelluccio?

If so, I'll move there right away.

There!

You must turn this the right way.
Understand?

Give me your hand. I'll teach you.

Remember that everything must
be used the right way. Understand?

You know that you're pretty?

Where do you go on Sundays?

You want to go dancing with me?

My mistress weighs everything I buy.

She bought a new scale
and spent 2,500 liras!

- What'll you do now?
- I put a nail inside.

Fernando, have you become mad?

- Why are you laughing?
- Are you a baker?

I paid her a compliment
and she almost poked my eye out!

- The new maid?
- She is a farm girl.

She's a real hillbilly.

You people are hillbillies!
You're forgetting this!

- Are you crazy?
- That's why we hit them!

- See you on Sunday to go dancing?
- Alright!

Darn, what a mountain girl!

- Marcella, are you ready?
- Yes. Let's go. It's getting late!

- Marietta!
- We're going to the movies, right?

With..

these bosses...

I don't...

I don't understand.

a thing...

The ball caught by Ferrario
is still offsides.

Mazza on the right, Lorenzi advances.

He passes to Mazza who dribbles.

Lorenzi advances, kicks... Goal!

The goal was cancelled because
it was offside by Lorenzi himself.

Penalty kicked by Manente
in the Juventus area.

Dear, the children are at Mom's.
We'll be alone just the two of us.

We never have time
to be alone, Ninnarello.

- I wanted to hear the game.
- Always the game!

- Forget it today. Come on.
- The maid is here!

That idiot is going out!
What is she doing? Celestina!

Still here?
You're not going out?

Where should I go?
I don't know anyone.

It's Sunday.
You have a right to go out.

I was writing to my brothers.

You worked all week.
Go have fun.

I have a pair of shoes that are
almost new. I want you to have them.

- Look how lovely. You like them?
- Yes, they're beautiful.

- I don't know how to walk on heels.
- That's nonsense!

You must get used to it.
You'll walk well on them.

Now go out.

Look at her!

Leave her alone! She is wearing
her mistress's shoes, poor thing.

Look. She'll lose them.

- Shall we go?
- Yes.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

- Bye.
- I'll see you there. Don't be late.

Come on.

- Sit properly.
- Wait!

Show off!

Let's go!

- Luca, Nazareno, what're you doing?
- How are you?

Not bad.
Why didn't you go inside?

- I rang but nobody answered.
- I'll open up. Come.

I'll make you something to eat
and then I'll tell my mistress.

Come.

Sit down.

- I was writing a letter to you today.
- You aren't bad off here.

It's not easy.
I'd rather return to Castelluccio.

To starve to death?

We must tell you something.

We looked for a job,
but can't find one.

So we will be leaving
for Australia tonight.

Where is Australia?

It's like America. It takes letters
over a month to arrive.

A month?

But... What if something happens?

What are you saying?

You can become rich in Australia.

- There's gold in the rivers, sheep.
- You must write to us.

What'll I write? That I am fine
and maybe get sick after a month?

Are we people who get sick?

Nobody is left in our town.
And our home? We were to go back.

We sold it to Michele, the tailor.
We needed money for the trip.

I won't ever go back to Castelluccio?
I must always stay here?

Celestina!

Celestina, he's crying!
Puccio wants you.

- Who are these young men?
- They are my brothers.

You look alike. When you've
finished, come get Puccio.

Did you have fun?

We are leaving.

Behave, Puccio!

I don't know what girls today want.
They never have fun.

- Is she bringing people home?
- No. They are her brothers.

- You should see their faces!
- They must be thieves.

Goodbye, then.

- Can't you stay a bit longer?
- No. We'll miss the train.

Bye.

Good luck.

- Let's go.
- Good luck to you too.

Luca! Nazareno!

Nazareno!
Don't leave me like this. Write!

Don't forget me
and don't leave me by myself!

- Alright, don't worry.
- Write to me. Hurry back!

- Alright.
- Goodbye, Celestina.

Goodbye.

So your name is Celestina.

Poor girl.

Florence, tonight you are lovely
under a cape of...

Stop with this song! It reminds me
of an unpleasant Florentine man.

So what?

- Hi. Where is that girl?
- Which one?

- The Palmucci's maid.
- Out there washing a lot of stuff.

- Hi, Almida.
- Hi.

Hey!

I'll help you. Are you crying?

Were they your brothers?

They left for Australia

and I must stay here forever,
being a maid.

It's our destiny. You wouldn't
be a maid if you weren't poor.

Who says?
But if you cry like this...

You must change.
There always time to cry.

I've done this job for ten years.

I'll take care of you as of today.
Come. Let's go to the others.

They are good girls too.

- Girls, come here.
- Marcella, what do you want?

- Sunday Celestina is coming too.
- Shall we go to the movies?

No, we're going dancing!
We were late last time!

Celestina!

Hurry up!

Celestina!

- Celestina!
- Yes, madam?

Good girl! You're learning
in a hurry and doing a good job.

You must do so every day
and not just Sundays.

- May I go?
- Of course.

We're going out tonight.
You must return on time, at 8.

This is your salary. If you continue
the good work, you'll get a raise.

Yes, madam. Thank you.

- I am tired of staying here.
- Then go!

- What about you?
- I am staying here.

- She's coming.
- Here I am! Here I am!

- Why do you have that money?
- It's my salary. 6,000 liras.

- You're making all this commotion?
- The Palmuccis are cheapskates!

I've never seen so much money
all at once.

When you return tonight
ask for a raise, or leave.

You can't come dressed like this.

Really. You don't look very nice.

- Don't you have decent stockings?
- No.

Come. I'll take care of it.

What can I do? You have
a belt? Give me the scarf.

- Wait. I'll give you mine.
- Take your socks off. Hurry.

- Should I go without them?
- Of course!

Is it your baby crying?
Did you leave him home alone?

No, my mistress is there.
He cries a lot at night.

- Give him some gas.
- Come on!

When my girlfriend has to put
her mistress's child to sleep

she opens the gas.
Just a little.

He sleeps straight through
till the morning.

- Where should I put them?
- You can throw them away.

- They are still good. It's a shame.
- Put them here.

You'll find them.
Who would take them?

I'll fix you up.
You look like a nun with that hair.

Do you have lipstick? Put it on.

- Lipstick too?
- A little.

- What're you doing?
- We cleaned up the mountain girl.

- You are lovely!
- You really look good!

She'll steal all our suitors!

Don't make fun of her.
She looks nice.

Come on, or we'll be late!

- I'm not coming. It's a sin.
- Goodbye, then!

- Hey, Guido!
- Hi!

- Keep my stuff.
- She found the navy!

Did you decide?

Hi! He who drinks alone
chokes himself.

You keep drinking!

- She'll end up staying.
- Excuse me.

We noticed you like him.
With that saintly look!

Him? I slapped him!

- Want to sit down?
- No. Look at this stuff.

- Marcella, I've waited a half hour.
- I'm here!

Everything all right, Marcella?

Roberto, I'll see you later.

Learn to dance American style.

Turn.

Just a moment.

May I?

I think it's a fox trot.
It's the only one I can dance.

I'll dance with her.
You don't know how.

- I don't know how to dance.
- Weren't you dancing with him?

- Because I saw you.
- So you really don't like me.

- I don't want to be made a fool of.
- What are you doing?

- I'm going home.
- You're going without your friends?

Come. They're looking at us.
I'll teach you how to dance.

Come on! One, two and three.
One, two and three.

Move a bit. One hand here.
Embrace me!

Come on!

Laugh!

You're offended because...
I should be offended. You slapped me!

Alright. I'm sorry.

Is it my fault if you are pretty?
Did you know you are pretty?

I like you. What can I do?

In my town a young man
wouldn't talk like this.

Again with your town!

Boys and girls don't
like each other? Well, adapt!

- What?
- Adapt.

You see? You've almost learned.

It's not easy.
Not all the girls learn.

But you are dancing with me
and I am a maestro...

You're laughing, huh?
You are just a kid!

Shall we go outside?

Let's drink something. Come on.

80... 100.

- May I have two sodas?
- Nice and cold.

Here's to you. 120 liras.

- Thank you.
- Here.

Drink! You want a glass?

Look at her!

- What is your name?
- Celestina.

You don't have to tell me
your name. I know it.

- Who told you?
- My girlfriends talk about you.

See what it means to be famous?
What do they say?

- I can't say it.
- Come on, say it.

That you always make
a girl's head spin.

Really? What do you think?

- Let's go back with the others.
- Wait. Answer me.

How stupid! They fall in love with
the first guy who flirts with them.

But you seem different.

- Am I mistaken?
- Don't talk. I don't believe you.

- What did you do to Celestina?
- I ate her!

Leave her alone.
She is a good girl.

- Maybe I have serious intentions.
- You're just the type!

Marcella, are you being
a mother-n-law?

- What is it?
- I don't know.

Celestina? What are you doing?

- You don't want to see me.
- Leave me alone.

Let's dance the last one and
I'll take you home. Put it here.

Well? Is it so bad?

I like being with you, Celestina.

I feel like I'm a kid too.

I see. I must teach you everything.

You are something else!

- Where is Celestina?
- She's dancing.

- Celestina!
- I have to run.

- Celestina!
- Darn!

Italia, hurry up.
If we don't go, we'll be late.

You're not coming with us? It's late.

Marcella, don't be a nuisance.
I'll take her home.

- Do as you wish. Here.
- All I needed was a purse!

Don't bother with her.

When you go out alone, you hurry.
Are you embarrassed with me?

Turn off that radio!
I don't want to go out!

I can't go out
without a fur coat!

- Then it's not the maid's fault.
- Now you defend her?

Here she is. I'll give that
shameful girl a piece of my mind!

Good evening. Welcome back!

You could've come later.
We're at your convenience!

As for the plate, forget it!
You've become worse than the others.

Look at her.
Looking like a slut with that makeup!

You arrived yesterday from
the mountains, but learned quickly!

- Don't yell. Everyone will hear you.
- If you keep it up, you're leaving!

You'll end up badly.
Puccio woke up too!

Don't just stand there
with that dunce face. Go on!

- Don't exaggerate. They are girls.
- You keep on defending her?

- You're being a Communist?
- Let's go. It's late.

- I don't feel like it.
- Let's get some air.

Let's go to bed.
I am too nervous!

- Let's go for a snow cone.
- I said no! To bed!

Come on, Puccio.
Be a good boy.

Did a tarantula bite you?

Make that baby be quiet.
We want to sleep!

Every night the same thing!

Is it possible that a little boy
like you always cries?

Be good, Puccio.

Will you be quiet?
I'll make you be quiet.

It won't be bad for you.

You won't cry anymore.

- Celestina, what are you doing?
- Nothing, madam.

I can't stand it. I'm giving him some
gas. They say it makes him sleep.

Gas? Murderer!
You wanted to kill him. Get out!

- What happened?
- She wanted to give him gas!

- I wanted him to stop crying.
- She was about to asphyxiate him!

The burner is lit.
It's not harmful.

She must have heard someone
say it, and didn't understand.

Enough. Get out
or I'll call the police!

Forgive me, madam.
You were right.

Forgive me.
I am a miserable person!

Jesus! Did you kill the child?
Did you kill your son?

No, it's my mistress's child.

- Why did you kill him?
- I didn't kill him!

- Why'd you put him over the gas?
- To have him sleep.

- Then he's surely dead.
- No, he's alive!

He's alive? Then what do you want?
You speak of men, perdition, gas,

and it's not true?
- It's true. I sinned many times.

- Reverend?
- I'm coming, sister. My child,

I can't listen to you now.
I have Mass.

Stay here and repent.
Pray, and later I'll confess you.

Meanwhile,
forget those friendships.

You told me you pray
to your guardian angel. That's good.

Nothing is better
than your guardian angel.

But in a city like this,
he can't keep up with you.

He needs help.

I'll try giving him a hand
if I can manage.

I know some good, serious,
honest and proper people.

I'll introduce you to them.
You'll feel at home there.

They can be like your dad and mom.
We'll talk about it later.

Wait for me here and pray.

Trust me, my child.

- Good-day Professor.
- Good-day, Officer.

Gosh, how many books!

It's all the steaks
that we didn't eat in forty years.

It's what the professor wants.
What can we do?

- It’ll take a year to clean it all.
- Don't be frightened.

We must not touch anything
or we'll create disorder.

- Should I put these piles in order?
- No. You want him to kill us?

Just dust them every once in a while.

Dust that one well.

My gosh, He's so ugly!
Who is he? A saint?

A saint? He's a devil.

Dante was the ruin of my life.

I should've thrown him out the window
the first day of our marriage.

100 liras a kilo!

- Listen to the professor.
- You want some? 50 liras!

- Here.
- Thank you.

- Professor, what'll we give you?
- This time the professor is mine!

- You want 80 grams or 100?
- 100 grams.

Weigh 100 grams for the professor.

Here.

He's a good man! He's in such
a state from studying so much.

You read too much!

Good-day, Professor.

All this trash...

Here's the last instalment.

Good-day, Professor.
Here. I miraculously saved it.

The senator came by every morning,
but I gave my word to you.

Yes, thank you.

What can we do?
We are retired people.

You must get used to it.

The little retirement money
goes to buying books.

That's what the professor wants.

But then, there isn't much
to do here.

Good-day, miss.
You want some help?

- Is the basket heavy?
- I wish!

- Getting along with your employers?
- They're good people, not much work.

They're Sicilian, like me.
All good people.

Do you feel ill? What is wrong?

You didn't have breakfast?

I can't go on like this.

Miss!

I'd like this one.

- All of it?
- Yes, all of it.

Meat is poison.
All doctors say that.

But once in a while...

You shouldn't have,
with your money. What got into you?

I'd like to have a daughter
as affectionate as you.

You know what? We love you
as if you were our daughter.

I thought that when we die...
but we're not in a hurry...

our country place in Canicattì
will be yours.

- What do you say, Assunta?
- I thought about that too.

Instead of leaving it
to your relatives, the Macalusos.

I never liked them.

Kitty, kitty!
Did you see the cat?

- Your brother is in the other room.
- My brother?

- It's impossible!
- Kitty!

Celestina! Finally I find you.

You were well hidden.
Nobody knew anything.

Where were you?
It looks like a museum.

What did I do to you?
I waited but you disappeared.

Go away. I don't want to see you.
I promised the priest too.

Him, too!
Celestina, what did I do to you?

You'll ruin me.
I realized that later.

They called me a slut.
I could become worse!

- What are you saying? Come here.
- No!

One day was enough with you
to feel strange.

- Go away. I don't want to see you!
- Celestina, listen.

Did you see the cat?
Where is he? Oh, there he is!

Come with me, poor kitty!

I'll take him to the professor.
He was so worried. Come.

My poor kitty, come with me.

- You make me laugh!
- You are like the devil!

- You make me laugh. Be reasonable.
- Will you leave?

Madam! I don't want to talk to him.
He isn't my brother.

- Who is he? Scoundrel!
- I'm not her brother.

- You deceive girls, huh?
- I'm her cousin, same thing.

- We'll see. I'll call the police!
- Go away! She'll do it!

It doesn't matter.
You really don't want to see me?

- Policeman, come up!
- Who? Me?

- Yes, you! There's a thief here.
- I'm coming!

Scoundrel! We'll see now!

The first time I made a mistake.
But now you're making one.

A thief has gotten into our home!

Leave me alone. Don't bother me.

- Look at this lunatic!
- Scoundrel! Scum!

He comes to my home and says
I'm a lunatic! Arrest that thief!

Don't arrest him.
Just have him leave.

Arrest who?
Do you have a warrant?

Madam, stop it! I came to see a girl.
I can't do that?

Who are you arresting?
Look at him!

Another word and I'll arrest you!

If it wasn't for you,
this poor girl would've been ill.

That's why we're here, especially
for our fellow countrymen.

He is Sicilian too.
Let's invite him to drink with us.

Yes, but we don't have wine.
We don't drink.

- We have stomach trouble.
- I don't drink, either.

Drinking is a vice, and I don't
have vices. I can come in a minute.

People are strange nowadays.

I should thank that delinquent.

I have a chance of meeting
illustrious fellow countrymen.

Saint Agata wanted this.

- Sit down.
- Thank you.

- Are you from Catania?
- No, Canicattì.

Is the young lady Sicilian too?

When we die,
she'll have our land in Canicattì.

Come in, Celestina.

This girl was entrusted to us
by our spiritual father.

We love her like a daughter.
She will inherit everything.

Celestina, show him
the photograph I gave you.

Here on the right is the town
and below is the vineyard.

We were never able to enjoy it
and now it gives no fruits

because the sharecropper
takes everything. It needs care.

Right. Excuse me, Professor.
Is it a big piece of land?

- Of course.
- Almost a hectare. There's a home.

Thank you for sharing.

I wanted to say that the young lady
passes by me every morning.

She's lovely and looks like the
statue of the Immaculate Conception.

I'm not like those young men
who enter homes deceiving.

I am a righteous and moral man.

Since I want to tell that lovely
daughter what I feel in my heart,

I ask for your permission.

Did you understand?

My name is Vittorio Emanuele.

Do you always spend
your Sundays like this?

The age of folly is over.
I am settling down now.

I've never really had vices.

My colleagues went dancing
and wanted to take me with them.

I'm gone the whole week. Should
I spend Sundays moving my feet?

I don't like the women there.
They are too brazen.

The woman I dream of
doesn't go dancing.

I am sure that you have never gone.

Will you allow me to take your arm?

- You shouldn't have.
- You want to humiliate me?

Aren't you my girlfriend?
My Celestina!

It's music by my fellow townsman,
the Swan of Catania.

Did that man come
to bother you again?

- Why? Did you see him?
- I'm not sure. I can't swear it.

I thought I saw him around.
Don't worry. I'll take care of him.

- Is the land at Canicattì good?
- A land of God! A blessed land!

The information from my friend
at the police station is precise.

The Nicotera land exists.
The professor was honest.

There are farmers there now but
when it's ours, I'll take care of them.

- How are the Nicoteras?
- Since they're eating meat, better.

My career, your angel face,

and the good fortune
of the land in Sicily,

will be happiness,
complete happiness.

What are you here for? Get him out
of my head. I must not think of him.

- Celestina, did you call me?
- No, I was talking to the angel.

Sleep and turn off the light.
You can pray in the dark too.

- Do you like my fiancé?
- Yes. He's a good man.

- Yes, he is.
- You don't like him?

He is honest, a hard worker,
God fearing.

- He has a steady job.
- He has that moustache...

What can you do?
Sicilians are hairy.

Even I, at first, thought
that the professor... But then...

You'll see. Sleep now.

Good night.

Yes, madam. You are right.

Come on.

A disastrous trip!
That senile old man must be stopped.

Yes, you're right.

Giving away our family things
to a maid. With a cousin like me!

- Calm down. I'll talk to him.
- Be quiet. You're a woman.

- The maid should go to jail!
- Yes, that shameless girl!

- Come on. We're in a hurry!
- You didn't tell me where to go!

- To Professor Nicotera!
- I don't know him.

Piazza de' Ricci, 21!

A Nicotera who disown a Macaluso.
You have the devil inside!

- We can have you interdicted.
- According to the law.

Unless you rip up the will
and recognize us Macalusos

as heirs of the Nicotera property.
- A maid will not enter the house!

She is fond of us like a daughter.

Be quiet! You weren't capable
of giving him a daughter.

- Will you change the will?
- No.

- You're a madman!
- You must go to an insane asylum!

The law speaks clearly!

Hurry, my child!

We'll say that you left.
Call your fiancé.

He must arrest them.
Those scoundrels must go to jail!

Are you forgetting this?
Oh, God!

What can we do?
It was a ceramic.

- You were so fond of it.
- I was.

Mr. Lo Russo?

Mr. Lo Russo,
a lady is asking for you.

A lady for me? I'm coming!

Just a moment.

Celestina? What happened?
Come in.

Sorry. I did the night shift
and was sleeping.

What happened to you?
Tell me. What is it?

- They came from Catania.
- Your brothers?

No, the professor's relatives. If I
don't leave, they'll send me to jail.

Tell me everything.

They came looking like devils,
including two ugly women.

- What did they want?
- I don't know. They were yelling.

They said I plagiarized the
professor, that he's senile

and they'd take him to an insane
asylum. They'll put me in jail!

- They kept saying "circum..."
- Circumvention of incapable?

Yes. My mistress said to go
and arrest them all.

- She said that?
- Yes. We have to hurry.

It's not easy! We must be cautious
with these things.

- What've I got to do with it?
- What do you mean?

It's not in my jurisdiction.
I need authorization to proceed

and an arrest warrant.

Even Fernando said
you couldn't arrest him.

Who is Fernando?

- So you can't do anything?
- Celestina, did they say my name?

- Are you sure?
- I said no.

Those fellow townsmen have
connection, relations.

Even my superiors are from my town.

You know what?

Too bad. Goodbye land.

How can we get married
without the land?

I didn't want to be
a maid anymore, and now...

Don't say that.
What do you care about the land?

If they kick you out,
come and stay with me.

In two years, when my regulations
allow it, we'll get married.

Celestina...
Saint Agata sees us.

She sees our love,
unites us, she wants it.

Celestina, I can't stand it anymore.

Come stay with me, like a sister.
No, like a wife.

- Celestina, say yes.
- Let me go.

- Like a wife...
- Let me go!

Is that so? You'll marry me
in 2 years, but first...

- No. What are you doing?
- Don't move!

Stop! Celestina! Stop!
I didn't mean that.

- I don't like you!
- I'll explain. Give me time.

I should come and be your maid,
live with you and lose my honor!

Give me some time!
Listen. Don't leave.

You're awful!

He's disgusting! If it had happened
to me, I would have...

- What will you do?
- I'll look for another job.

You can stay with me a few days.
I am alone till the end of the month.

- I won't bother you?
- Silly! I'm glad.

- Does Puccio cry all the time?
- They change one every week.

Now they have a very tall woman.
She orders both of them around.

Come. We'll have coffee.

- Then we'll go to bed.
- Italia and Armida?

You'll see them all tomorrow.
They argue, but are always here.

- The plumber's helper?
- Fernando?

Nobody was at the shop.

He is in Monti Parioli.

He made some money
and cleaned himself up.

- You'll come with me to the agency?
- I know the best one.

This time I'll choose the job.
Even if I break my head,

I want to break it my way.
- You're starting to understand!

- What'll I do about references?
- I'll give them. Let me call.

But... Who is he?

Gianni, what did you do?
You want to drink?

- Who is it?
- You didn't know I had a child?

- No.
- I didn't tell you?

Everyone in the building knows. When
the lady leaves, I take him here.

Here.

- Tell her you're with Aunt Amalia.
- Aunt Amalia.

She was his nanny and is fond of him
but she costs me a lot.

Come, dear. I'll put you to bed.

- He fell asleep.
- Here. Put this on.

- It's beautiful. I won't ruin it?
- No! These shirts don't get ruined.

That ugly mistress of mine
always wears it!

You are well settled here.
Is your mistress a countess?

She's called that because 20 years
ago she was a count's girlfriend.

She thinks I don't know
she began as a maid.

- A maid?
- Yes, in the house of a count.

Now she has all these things.

- It looks good on me.
- Yes, it looks good on you.

If you fix yourself up a bit,
you're pretty.

When I get married, I want
a lovely nightgown like this one.

Come on!

- What is that street called?
- What? Monti Parioli!

- Want me to turn it off?
- Yes.

Your boy?

I wasn't working here at the time.

He was a blond young man who looked
like Gregory Peck, a little shorter.

He came from Ancona
and was doing his military service.

After that, he didn't have a job.

I cared for him
and he cared for me.

One day he had to leave...

- Are you sleeping?
- No. Tell me.

It was April or May.
I can't remember.

No, I want a job in Monti Parioli
or nothing.

You're fixed on Monti Parioli!

Look in your list if you've
something for her. Next!

- Are you free? Can you do anything?
- Yes, except cooking.

- Can you serve at the table?
- So-so.

- Laundry?
- Not that.

- Is Piazza Ragusa alright?
- As long as there aren't children.

Alright, wait a minute

There is one here.

Hey, you! We found
what you wanted.

A job at Monti Parioli.

What did you do?

Look at these girls!

- What are you looking for?
- You know where a hammer is?

Look in the garage.

- Where are you going?
- In the garage.

- In the garage?
- Yes. We need a hammer in the house.

Is this alright?

Why don't you listen
to the radio with me?

What did I do to you?

- Hello?
- Hello? Is this the plumber?

A repair job? Alright.
Where?

Wait. I'll write that down.

Monti Parioli... Number?

14. Where is the problem?

Where? In the bathroom, I think.

- You don't know?
- Yes, yes, in the bathroom.

I understand. I can't move now.
I'm alone in the store.

No, in the afternoon,
after lunch.

Alright, alright, alright.

Oh, God...

What's happening?
What is it?

A problem.
Luckily I saw it right away.

We must call a plumber immediately.

I already did.
He's coming after lunch.

Good girl!
Finally a girl with some initiative!

- Is the coffee ready?
- Almost ready.

It all depends on how it's toasted.
The quality is almost indifferent.

What cigarettes do you smoke?

- What water is it?
- Boiled, Count.

Thanks. Rome's water is not right
to make a good coffee.

- Now he'll say Scotland water.
- Yes, Scotland water is needed.

Nonsense! Any water
is good for making a good coffee.

In Naples they make
the best coffee in the world.

I never remember the names
of these girls.

- Hey, you! What is your name?
- Celestina.

Please, see if in the box
there are American cigarettes.

- Yes, madam.
- Celestina, what a lovely name!

Sometimes farmers give
strange names to their children.

Yes. I remember one of my father's
farmers called his son Naride

because of a mistake on the calendar.
Saint Paride was written "Naride".

- Did the plumber come?
- Yes. He's upstairs working.

- Will you take this to the lady?
- Do as she told you.

Two months in Salzburg.

- Here you are, madam.
- Thanks. We'll have fun.

The plumber is here.
If I may, I'll go tell him what to do.

Very good. Go ahead.

Rampoldi, in this house
pipes explode like mines!

It can't be. It's an installation
with German pipes.

They may be German, but this morning
when I wanted to have a bath,

there was water this high
on the floor. I bathed my feet!

Did you find out how it happened?

Good-day.

You're here!

- You're not saying anything?
- What should I say?

They hit the pipe with a hammer.
I changed it.

So many coincidences today!

Alright. So we met again!

- Who is paying? 5,000 liras.
- You are very expensive!

Stop. I know I made a mistake,
but I can't reason with you.

- Bye. I've finished.
- Did you finish?

- I'll show you!
- What are you doing? Stop!

What do you want from me?
Why don't you leave me alone?

A new, expensive installation.
I don't understand.

How cute!

Evasio,
give the girl her eight days.

- Yes, Countess.
- I'm sorry, sir.

Are you happy?

Go ahead and laugh!

We're even. I had you kicked
out of the professor's house,

and you had me kicked out of here.
Are you angry?

I took this job purposely
to be near you

after having told my fiancé
that I didn't like him.

I got engaged, you know?
Your fault. I was thinking of you.

I said, "I'll think of someone else."
Instead, I wasn't able to.

What do you want from me?
What are you thinking?

We have nothing in common.
You had another fiancé.

He was a watchguard and wanted me
to live with him for two years.

I once told you that I liked you,
and I can't get rid of you.

- We understand each other.
- No, we don't.

- Where are you going now?
- I don't know.

It's hot. I can go to the park.

Don't be arrested for loitering.

It must be nice to be a vagabond.

Don't be silly.

Yesterday the agency gave me
some addresses. I'll find a job.

Don't you understand...
I don't get it!

- I don't even have cigarettes.
- Wait. I got them for you.

Do you like these?

Fernando, you're not angry anymore?

Do you care for me
as I care for you?

Celestina, you are my ruin.

You know that I like you,
but I must tell you something.

Don't tell me anything.
Kiss me.

- What can you do?
- Everything.

- Can you do laundry?
- Yes, but not sheets.

- Can you make pasta?
- Yes.

You're pretty.
Lock yourself up at night.

The men in my house
could make a pass at you.

Where did you work before?

You can call Marquise Sangiusto.
for references.

- The number is 840426.
- Ok. Wait for me in the other room.

- Hello?
- Is Marquise Sangiusto there?

- Yes, I'm the marquise.
- Madam, is it you? Listen.

I hired a maid
that used to work for you.

I'd like to know...
Her name is Celestina, madam.

Celestina? I must say
she's the best maid I ever had.

I wish I still had her!

No. She left because
she didn't want to travel.

Really? Listen, madam.

My husband is a store owner.
At night there's a lot of cash.

- Can we feel safe?
- You can entrust the house to her.

Thank you, Marquise.
Goodbye.

- What do you want?
- You're dirty.

- Where?
- Here.

Move!

- Already finished?
- Yes, sir!

Hello? Hello, Fernando.
Is it you?

How are you?

- I wanted to tell you that...
- Huh? Yes, yes.

I'll think about it. Alright.

Fernando, hurry up. Let's go.

Yes, bye. I understand.

Celestina, let me work. Bye.

Stop with these maids.
You must settle down.

- I can't even joke around!
- I am not joking.

Hello? Marcucci firm.

Who?

She wants you again.

I am an idiot!
I called to tell you something

and I forgot.
- Couldn't you tell me before?

Marcella said everyone is going
to Castel Gandolfo on Sunday.

We can go too.
You can find a motorcycle.

- The boiler lady is here.
- Just a moment.

- Shouldn't we go out alone?
- You took Marcella on a motorbike.

- Who told you?
- Fernando, have you finished?

A minute and I'll be with you.
I am busy. We'll discuss it later.

- Say yes. May I tell her?
- I don't know.

Don't call me back.
Do me this favor.

This must end or you'll
force me to open my sister's eyes.

Nonsense!

Madam, I'm coming. Here's the boiler.

120 liters, 52,000 liras.
Shall I hook it up?

Fernando didn't come.
We'll wait for you there.

Tell Fernando that
we're at Gobbo's!

It should be fine here.

This neighborhood has a future.

- What are you thinking?
- Huh? Nothing.

Listen. Did you see
that I had "& C" added?

Now that we are partners,
will you respect agreements or not?

What agreements?

Let's speak clearly.
When are you marrying my sister?

I told you. As soon as the store
gets on its feet and we're settled.

Meanwhile, you could
stop with all the other affairs.

- What other affairs?
- That little girl...

You can't manage
to get rid of her.

I've broken off.
She's returning my letters today.

- You're seeing her today too?
- What time is it?

- Weren't you coming with us?
- We hadn't confirmed.

- Hey, Fernando.
- Hey, Mario.

You've fallen in love with the store.
Bring a bed to sleep here.

I ate a lot today.
I don't fit into my clothes.

Hi. Will you give me a cigarette?

- You should be a butler.
- Instead, I am a plumber.

- What have you decided for today?
- Fernando must finish a job.

I am checking an installation
on Via Tuscolana.

I am starting to get tired of this work.

On Sunday we don't know where to go,
but we'll think of something.

What a sister!
She'll have my store go bankrupt.

- Is it yours?
- You should hear the engine!

It did the Vermicino-Rocca di Papa.

It's a beauty. May I borrow it?
I'll do that job and join you.

- I'll give it to you on instalments.
- We have to do some accounting.

Accounting? I trust you.
If you don't pay, Gina will.

Come on, get it.
I had to get you a gift, anyway.

- You give me a motorbike? No.
- Take it, idiot.

Hurry, so that job
will be finished tonight.

Understand? Finished.

Fernando! Fernando!

- I didn't think you'd come.
- You have convulsions?

I thought I'd misunderstood.
I ran all around the square.

The others left an hour ago.
Marcella's friend said

they're waiting for us at Gobbo's.
- Why don't we go by ourselves?

I must talk to you.
I have to return early tonight.

- We were to go on a short trip.
- There is time for trips.

Do you mind?

Let's go, get on.

Come on, get on!

- Are you there?
- Yes.

Hold on tight
or we'll get killed.

- Shall we go?
- No.

We still have lunch
on our stomachs!

I am tired.
Who knows when they'll get here!

Let's go for a boat ride.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- They're coming!
- Marcella!

- We sped!
- It's been 2 hours. Where were you?

- Fernando was late.
- You haven't eaten yet?

- I'm sorry, but we're going ahead.
- Come to the lake to eat.

- I don't feel like moving.
- Do as you wish.

We'll wait for you down there.
If we're on the boat, call us.

You're not coming?

- What do you want to eat first?
- I'm not hungry.

I'll smoke a cigarette.

If you're setting a table,
when will we finish?

- Setting a table?
- Don't you understand?

If you want, eat,
but it's not mandatory.

I told you I don't feel like it.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

You didn't even notice
my new dress.

I have a new suit too.
I wore it especially for you.

I guess we didn't notice enough.

But we're still in time to do so.

Get up.

Get up.

Celestina.

Celestina... Come here.

Why are you crying?

What did I say?
I said I liked your dress.

Come on!

Forgive me if I was mean.

That is why I didn't want to come.

Celestina, I must tell you something.
I want to be sincere with you.

- Fernando!
- Celestina!

They're calling us. Let's go.
We'll take a boat ride too.

- Did you ever see a lake?
- Yes, near Castelluccio.

Really? I would have liked
to see your town.

- How far away is it?
- Two hours, even less.

We could have gone.

Think of what impression you'd
have given dressed like a queen!

I remember what you were
wearing when you arrived in Rome.

You were a hillbilly.

You've changed.
You're more of a women.

I feel like I am sillier than I was.

It's possible.

But a likable silly girl.

It's funny. I wanted to talk to you,

and now I don't care anymore.

- Celestina!
- Fernando!

Celestina...

What if I'm different
than what you think?

Don't talk. I just know you care
for me, and I'm not mistaken.

- Isn't it true I'm not mistaken?
- No, you're not.

But you see...

It's true that in this world...

Do you care for me?

Who knows!

I don't think I like you.

- I'll really believe it.
- What an idiot!

It's getting dark.

My jacket.

- Where are Fernando and Celestina?
- They went down.

You want to wait for them?
Let's go!

I don't want to go back
to Rome. Bye.

Let's hurry
or we'll miss the last train.

Bye, Italia!

Here...

Good. They left us alone!

- Bye, Celestina!
- You're leaving, huh?

I am hungry now.
I could eat you!

Take my comb and fix your hair.

It's all mussed up!

Well? What is it?

Nothing. Nothing.

I can't tell you on the phone.

What?

Marcella,
I've never been so happy.

He surely cares for me.

Yes, don't worry. I'm happy.

Really.

Are they having lunch?

Excuse me. What was I saying?

That something broke?
No, it was the little boy.

This one is a bit older.
Goodbye, Marcella. I have to go.

- Ladispoli is the best.
- No!

Dad, it's good for your liver.
The beach is full of iron.

- It's good for rheumatisms.
- The Albule waters.

- It's like this every year.
- Celestina, get the cheese.

Albule waters three times a week
is the best there is.

As you wish,
but I think you are wrong.

- Sunday we're leaving for Ladispoli.
- What about me?

- You'll come with us. Are you glad?
- I can't come.

- Why? What must you do?
- Personal matters.

Alright. We'll discuss it later.

- She doesn't want to come, either.
- Did you become left-handed?

- Did you hurt your hand?
- I hit it.

- Is Fernando there?
- No, he isn't.

It's the 5th time I left my number.
Can you call him?

He's not here.
I can't look for him.

- I don't know where he went.
- Alright. I understand.

- Tell him Celestina called.
- Yes, I'll tell him.

Hurry, or we'll finish this move
on Christmas Eve.

You always complain.
We've finished.

Still another two trips. Who'll
arrange the stuff in the new store?

Fernando! Fernando!

Finally you show up!

I called many times and was worried.

- I was busy.
- Is it hard to come to the phone?

I couldn't. Alright?

Come away.

What did you do?
Why didn't you look for me?

You called, but I wasn't there
and they didn't tell me.

You could've let me know
where you were. Don't come here.

- I didn't know how to see you.
- You're right, but don't come.

I was going mad. I must decide
something and don't know what to do.

- I must give an answer tonight.
- To who?

My bosses want me to go to the
seaside with them. I don't want to.

- To the seaside?
- I must give them an answer.

They'll find another girl.
They leave Sunday for two months.

- You don't want to go?
- I can't be away from you 2 months.

I don't know where this place is.
It's called Lispoli... Dispoli...

- Yes, Ladispoli.
- Ladispoli. Is it far away?

- A half hour away.
- I have never seen the sea.

- I'd like to go, but with you.
- It will do you good.

I'll come see you every Sunday.
I'll teach you to swim.

- You think I should go?
- Yes, go. Where will you find a job?

- Fernando!
- They want me. When do you leave?

- The day after tomorrow at 10.
- I'll come say goodbye if I can.

- You'll really come?
- Yes, I'll come.

On Sunday I'll see you
in Ladispoli.

- Are you leaving the store?
- My boss wants to renovate it.

- Will you come say goodbye to me?
- Yes. Bye.

What are you looking at?
You expect him to come from the sea?

How long does it take
the mail from Rome to arrive?

From morning till evening.

It should have arrived.
It's been five weeks.

I would've gone to Rome
and plucked his eyes out.

Yes, in Rome.
What about my bosses?

If my boyfriend did that,
I wouldn't care about my bosses.

Something serious must have
happened or he would have written.

We are engaged.

He cares for me.

When I left, he felt like crying.

My bosses said,

"You'd think we're massacring her
instead of taking her to the beach".

I didn't care about the beach.
Only if he came.

He was to teach me how to swim.

Let's get up. The sand is humid.
We'll catch a cold.

Let's go. Get up, it's cold.
Come Let's go home.

- Are you coming too?
- Look at the merchandize!

- She's hot stuff!
- You want to have fun?

Hey, starfish!
The countess is really poisonous.

Let's go.

I'd skin alive whoever had the idea
of coming here!

In two months
this is the first sunny day.

You don't even swim!

- The Albule waters were better.
- What is it?

You chose a home that's far
from the sea. I'm not coming anymore!

You're starting too?
I'll leave you all home next time!

- I'll come to the sea alone!
- Do what you want.

I even forgot the beach umbrella!
Go get it and come right back.

She has her troubles too.
With that boyfriend...

- I think that he...
- Alright! This was all we needed.

My gosh, it can't be...

It can't be!

- What do you want?
- There was a store here.

- What is this?
- No, a plumber.

- The plumber moved.
- Where?

I don't know. I've had the mail
2 months and nobody picks it up.

Look who is here!
Who are you looking for?

- I'm going to Marcella.
- She's not here. It's Sunday.

- Armida?
- They are all out.

- Italia?
- She must be at the naval station.

I saw her leaving dressed up.

What will you do now?

- I'll wait.
- Wait. As you wish.

What have you got to look at?

- Forget it.
- I still have a free hour.

Hi.

- Are you coming down later?
- No. Some other evening.

Italia!

- Celestina, what're you doing here?
- I was waiting for you.

- For me?
- Do you know where Fernando is?

I don't know.

Bye. See you on Tuesday.

When did you last see Fernando?

When I left. Nine weeks ago.

He didn't tell you anything?

My child, why do you want
to know his address?

Don't bother with him.
You know you'll have to accept it.

- It'll happen many times.
- Do you know where he is or not?

Of course. If you want to know,
I don't care.

He is at Flaminio,
in a new building

that is on the corner
with Via Giulio Romano.

Are you happy now?
Do what you want.

But if you want advice from a friend,
forget about him.

Hi. My mistress is waiting for me.
I'm late.

- Is Fernando here?
- No.

- Do you know when he'll return?
- No.

- I'm Celestina. Are you his sister?
- No, I'm his wife.

Do you want something?
You can tell me.

I am his wife.

His wife...

The wife of Fernando Maestrelli,
the plumber?

Yes. What do you want?

Nothing.

Maybe you can tell him
that Celestina came by.

But it doesn't matter.
Don't tell him anything.

Listen!

Celestina who?

Celestina! Excuse me.

Celestina! Hi, Celestina.

- When did you arrive?
- Today.

- Why didn't you write to me?
- I wrote to you many times.

- When you arrived...
- Even later.

- I moved to another home.
- I know nothing.

The mail must have gotten lost!
Why don't you have a tan?

- You look good.
- You look good too.

So you have another home
and maybe another store.

Yes, I am an associate.

- So you're settled well?
- Pretty much.

Why aren't you tanned?
You could have written to me.

- I did write to you.
- Yes, but you lie. Why?

I waited. "Sooner or later she'll
write to me or I'll go to Ladispoli."

You wouldn't have expected it.
You see?

Are you still working for them?
They are good people, thank heavens.

I didn't take even one day off.
I just worked.

It was so hot here.
We could only breathe at night.

Celestina,
why don't you say anything?

- I couldn't breathe at night either.
- We'll meet now. I've a motorbike!

We can go where we want.
Sunday to Castel Gandolfo?

Nothing has changed for me.
When do you want to go? Tell me.

Celestina!

You know her.
She was talking to you, huh?

Me? I've never seen her before.

Poor child!

Come on...

Don't look at me like that.

My angel...

I don't know.
You tell me what to do.

You tell me.

Don't look at me like that.

- Shall we go out tomorrow night?
- I have the night shift.

- Last week too.
- Yes. I let a colleague go.

I am substituting him this week.
So I'll be free next week.

Excuse me. Did they take
the injured girl here?

Many arrive. Who is she?

- She was hit by a streetcar.
- You know anything about her?

Yes, the maid at Flaminio.
She's pregnant. Third floor.

Lucia, what are you saying?
Go back to your ward.

I am surprised at you.

Who is pregnant?

Who are you?

- They want you in department 3.
- Alright, alright.

Celestina...

She's still sedated,
but she's alright.

She was fortunate in her condition.
Let's go.

Excuse me. Are you a relative?

No. I know her. How is she, Doctor?

She will certainly make it.

Your ID, please.

I... only know her name.

Just a minute. If the head nurse
comes, I'll get in trouble.

Celestina...

Celestina, what did you do?

Why didn't you tell me?

Don't be afraid.
I won't ever leave you again.

Let's go away together.

I love you, Celestina.

I love only you.

I'm disgusted with myself.

Disgusted of having done
what I did!

For money. Understand?

Who knows what I thought
I was doing!

She took me the store,
the motorbike...

Celestina, it can't be
that if you make a mistake once,

you pay your whole life.
Isn't it true that it can't be?

It is not right.
It's not possible!

You will come with me. You, me,
the baby and those that will come.

Celestina, tell me something!

Tell me something, my love!

Don't cry. I should cry
for the way I wronged you.

I won't leave you ever again.
I don't care what will happen.

I only care about you
and our child.

What are you doing here?
You can't stay here.

Who gave you permission?

Oh, Lord! What is going on?
She must not get upset. Go!

I'll be back tomorrow morning.
I'll come later to see how you are.

- How do you feel?
- Don't let her speak.

She is fine
but must be kept calm.

Mother... I must tell you something.

You must help me.

I don't want to see him again,
ever again!

Calm down, child.

Come on.

Let me speak.
I feel good now, mother.

Tell me you will help me.

Listen!
I don't want to ever see him again!

- Here she is! Well, Marcella?
- Did you talk to her?

- How is she?
- Not so bad.

- She's pregnant?
- Yes.

- I didn't know it.
- Scoundrel! He got her into trouble

and married someone else.
- All men are like that.

- But it's always our fault.
- She went under a streetcar.

- She's always been a bit strange.
- What will she do now?

- She says the child is only hers.
- She is right.

- Thank God she is alright!
- Alone with a child. What'll she do?

What did I do? She can find
all the jobs she wants.

Some mistresses look for girls
who have gotten in trouble.

They say they are more serene,
and don't have boyfriends.

- Poor miserable girl!
- We are all miserable!

- Each has her troubles.
- Luckily, she is alright.

We'll return on Sunday. Let's go
or my mistress will be upset.

One day, when I return home,
she'll lay an egg!
