Yes, ma'am.

Where are you going, senora?

The cemetery.

Ah.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Watch where you're going, you degenerate.

Sorry.

Ah.

Oh, God.

Oh, excuse me.

I'm sorry.

I was in a hurry.

I didn't mean it.

Oh, no, it's all right.

No, it's all right.

I didn't see you.

Oh, my scarf.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's all right. Fine.

I really am.

It's all right.

Bye.

This Virgil, more than any other, shown in the person of Apparici Maffezoni, an inimitable example of dedication.

She respected and loved, above all things, her mission of initiating the ranks of the young into the sublime art of music.

It was a bloody turn.

But music is an art only when the music is in control of life, of temperance, of modesty, of tenacious application.

We shall miss her, not only for these reasons, but for her infinite other virtues.

She is present among us more today than ever before.

Her love of people and her love of life shall be remembered for all time.

Who's that woman there?

Who's that woman over there?

I don't know. I should think it's our new piano teacher.

And may God bless her soul.

There you are, Signora.

That will be 400 lire, please.

It's a nice day for this time of the year.

Well, seasons are changing.

Not what they used to be, huh?

It was a lot hotter when I was a kid.

Can't remember that far back.

Oh, God, mother in heaven!

What's that? It sounded like a scream!

You're crazy!

Get out of here!

Take care of her.

Stop!

Easy, Signora.

Wait!

It's all right now.

There, you'll be fine.

Don't touch me!

I'm sorry.

There, you'll be fine.

Don't touch me!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Did you bring what I told you to, Ned?

What?

You did okay?

Yeah, great.

Did you bring what I told you to, Ned?

What?

Did you bring what I told you to, Ned?

What?

Did okay?

Yeah, great.

Hey, make out when I give you the sign, all right?

Hey, good-looking.

You're so beautiful, it staggers my mind.

Baby, you have one hell of an effect on me.

I can't resist you.

Now, what was that all about?

True, I was playing the scherzo,

but I had no idea that my interpretation was so infectious.

I would like you to pay more attention.

Our passion for music is not just a hobby.

It's a life-long passion.

I would like you to pay more attention.

Our passion for music can help us to realize every force within ourselves.

We live in a remote, cloistered little village,

but with music, we can transcend every boundary.

Naturally, for this privilege,

a certain amount of sacrifice is required,

an almost fanatical application.

And frankly, our private lives have to take second place.

So, jokes or pranks

that are not within a musical framework must be excluded.

You, come up to the piano.

Bye.

I'll do the next thing.

And get there.

Yeah, I'll move.

You're beautiful.

I love that.

I love that.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

See you.

Dear Alessandra, we would feel much more at ease

if you weren't continually making that long face.

Get lost.

I don't appreciate your idiot jokes.

You don't have to play that trick on Alice.

Wow, this morning I thought she was going to have a stroke.

You guys can say whatever you like,

but since this new teacher, Miss Fermenti, showed up,

I've never seen you two paying so much attention to a piano.

I think it's love at first sight.

Oh, you're out of your head.

She's old enough to be my mother.

What does that have to do with it?

Love isn't a thing you can command.

True love is blind.

Kiss me, you fool.

Hey, are you mad or something?

That's your sister.

So what?

I may need a consolation

because Alessandra is interested in someone else.

Well then, I guess I should get a little consolation from Paola.

You weirdo, not from me you don't.

I have to get upstairs.

See you.

Bye.

So long, goodbye.

See you tomorrow.

You should eat more, perhaps some fruit.

You don't eat enough, my little darling.

Gigi, talk to your son, will you?

And what song are you preparing for the examination at the end of the week?

I told you yesterday, I don't know yet what I'll be playing.

What is it?

What's the matter?

If you're feeling badly, you've got to tell us.

Do you want me to talk to this new teacher of yours?

It might be a very good idea, darling.

Does she know that you're the best in the school?

Mama, please.

If you ask me, it's better if she knows it now.

It might be a while until she realizes how good you are.

Can't have that.

Now, eat.

Come on, come on.

Luigi.

Goddamn that woman.

Why can't she drown in her river?

What do you think about sending Alessandra for another rest cure?

I don't think the one in the spring was enough.

You tell him, Luigi.

Luigi!

Are you listening?

Yes, yes.

Whatever you say, Gisela.

May I come in?

Oh!

I hope I'm not too late for coffee.

Of course not, my friend.

You're never too late.

I brought you some cookies.

I'll bring the coffee.

It'll just take a moment.

Look after him, will you?

What do you think of the rest cure?

Just fine, dear.

Close the window.

Now, what are you doing, for Christ's sakes?

He'll close it.

Good morning.

Good morning, good morning.

Now, let's see what's the matter.

How old are you now?

Eighteen.

Eighteen, wow.

It's got to be a girl.

Don't worry, Gisela.

Your little boy's going to be all right.

I'll find something to cure him.

Good morning.

Good morning.

It's for you.

Some clown wants you on the telephone.

Sounds like that fellow, Alessandro.

And don't be all day.

Hello?

Is that you, Alessandro?

That'd be nice.

I don't know.

All right.

Stop it, will you?

It's my idiot brother, Gabriele.

He thinks he's Jack the Ripper.

We might.

Can you call me a bit later?

See you.

Hold on.

Here's my brother.

Hey, how you doing, Don Juan?

Yeah, well, listen.

There's something I got to show you.

So what is it you wanted to show us, huh?

Yeah, we've been peddling these things for half an hour.

Open up.

Well, I won't be the only one to open up around here, fellas.

Have a look.

Let's see.

Tactics for your hygienic convenience.

And like a true friend, I brought one for each.

Hold it, dummy.

You have to use your head from time to time.

Figure it out, will you?

If you unroll it beforehand, how are you going to get it on?

But I didn't unroll it all the way.

Just a little to look at it.

You've seen them before, huh?

Yeah, sure.

Do you know how to use them?

Yeah.

Naturally, men.

The faster you get the damn thing on, the better you're going to look.

Can't ask a woman to lie down in the grass and wait for an eclipse while you get ready.

Right, guys?

When I say go, we all begin.

Go!

First of all, you have to get a hard on.

Otherwise, it won't go on.

Careful, Nicole.

If you jerk off, you're disqualified.

First!

And I'm right on your ass.

Second!

I took longer because mine's the biggest.

Only now I have to take a leak, and I don't know what to do.

The thing's stuck on there.

There's nothing to worry about.

You'll work it out.

Oh, shit.

I can't get it off.

And I can't hold it in any longer.

Three matches lit in the dark.

The first, beautiful, because now we see your face.

The second, this match illuminates your eyes.

The last, to see your mouth.

And the rest I leave to my, uh, my uncontrollable imagination.

And meanwhile, I take you in my waiting arms.

Beautiful.

Sure is.

Yeah, but I, uh, I have to get going now.

And I'll see you tomorrow, all right?

Ciao.

Yeah, tomorrow.

See you.

Alessandro.

Alessandro, now listen closely.

When I count to three, you better be out of there,

or else I'll break the door down.

God damn it, let's go.

Look, I only have ten minutes to get to the clinic.

Yeah, isn't it funny?

Yeah, finally.

It was a half an hour this time, buddy.

Your mother gets upset when you spend too much time in the bathroom.

She thinks you're sick.

Well, mothers are like that.

But, uh, I don't think you're sick at all.

I mean, it's not injections you need, is it?

I guess I'd better be going.

Hey, wait a minute, kid.

We'll have a little talk man to man, all right?

Take it easy.

I gotta go, Dad.

Hey, will you listen to me for just a minute?

You know, I was once your age.

I imagine you were.

Good, well, just let me finish then, huh?

Look, I know what's happening.

I mean, you understand.

No, I don't.

It's the girls, isn't it, right?

Oh, it's perfectly normal.

I understand, I understand.

Beautiful little things.

Oh, I know, I know.

Years ago in Africa, when I was a young man,

oh, there were girls there that were twelve years old that were already women.

You know, they really had it together at an early age.

I mean, twelve years old and built like eighteen.

Handed out to here.

I remember this one girl.

She couldn't have been more than ten.

She was already pregnant.

I tell you, you have to watch these girls, Alessandra.

They're demons if they get their hands on you.

I have to go, Pop.

This one took a hold of me.

You wouldn't believe it.

What's the matter?

You ashamed of your father?

These are the facts of life you're hearing.

Oh, what the hell are they teaching you in school?

I mean, this is the twentieth century.

There's no reason to be nervous.

Just keep it together.

That's all you have to do.

You're too uptight, son.

If you don't watch yourself, you'll be a nervous wreck.

All right, I'll watch myself.

Beautiful.

Fine.

What the hell?

How old are you now, Alessandra?

Eighteen.

Eighteen.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Shit.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

It seems that we've met this way before.

I'm sorry, Miss Fermenti.

I guess I'm just a walking disaster.

Are you always so distracted?

Yes.

No, I don't know.

Well, you didn't have to rush so much, you know.

School doesn't start for another hour.

I know.

I was just going somewhere.

Oh, you have another appointment.

You better go then.

No, no.

It was nothing like that.

I could accompany you if you want me to.

Oh, thank you.

But I wouldn't like the principal to see me with a student outside of school.

He's very strict.

You know that.

Anyway, I have to think about those things.

I'm older than you are.

But you're not very old.

And you're very pretty.

Listen, let's make a bargain.

I'll allow you to fall in love with me if you promise to think seriously about a pretty girl your own age.

We'll have to respect the rule, but let's be sensible.

What rule?

Well, that every student falls in love with his teacher.

It's inevitable.

Alessandro!

Alessandro!

Alessandro!

Oh, it's apparent that you did have an appointment.

But a good student should have a better memory.

Yes, I guess so.

Well, goodbye, Corsini.

Well, goodbye now.

Don't forget your lesson.

Hey, wait!

Wait, will you?

Wait for what?

Did you have an appointment with me or with her?

Hey, come on.

For crying out loud.

She's a teacher.

For me, she's a teacher.

But for you, it's another thing.

What do you mean by that?

What do you mean?

She means something else.

I don't know.

A personification of sex.

Oh, man.

These stories of sex, they're a fixation of yours.

I don't know what you're thinking about, but if anyone has a complex about sex, it's you.

In the music of Italy during the 16th century, there were two prevalent styles.

The lord, or canticle, and the gratula, in profanity.

You should have seen it, honest.

It was part of the Arabian Nights.

There were seven naked women dancing.

It was Palestrina himself who saved ecclesiastical polyphonic music

when he had the Pope listen to his famous mass to Pope Marcellus.

Thank you for your attention.

Good day.

The four-handed piano technique, which is the subject of today's lesson,

used to be considered a fundamental preparation for all pianists.

Hey, she's not wearing any stockings.

Yes, she is so.

It was particularly in vogue in the Romantic period,

in which this technique served to obtain a wide range of effects, as we shall see later.

This technique was already evident at the end of the 16th century.

They're like colored stockings, you moron.

There's no way.

Here we find the first examples of compositions for four hands for the harpsichord.

Some of the most interesting pieces are the Hungarian dances of Brahms,

which he wrote for himself and his friends.

They have a folklore motif rich in life and color.

Corsini, you come up to the piano.

Corsini.

Gabriele, I bet he wishes he wasn't up there.

Look at how red he's turning.

Why don't you shut down, you dummy?

Shut up, you worm.

Gabriele.

Gabriele.

Gabriele.

Buongiorno, Miss Frumenti.

Buongiorno, Father.

Well now, how have you been getting along?

Oh, very well, thank you.

We're pleased with your work here.

At first, I must say I was a bit dubious about the possibilities

of your fitting in the ambience of an ecclesiastical institution.

You see, we've never had a teacher as young as you.

We have noticed the progress you've been making.

You're quite satisfactory, both professionally and morally.

We're quite content to have you with us.

Rest assured that you'll have our strong support concerning your degree.

Thank you, Father.

We are certainly aware of your need of our approval.

There is nothing to worry about.

We anticipate no problems whatsoever.

You can rest assured.

A little bit more.

My mother covers it a lot lower than that.

That's because she has a large nose.

When you have a large nose, it's better to go over the edge.

I think I read that someplace.

Come on, you try.

I think they put something in it.

My lips look larger.

Yeah, they'll put anything in it to make a sail look crooks.

Uh-huh.

You know, most actresses have big lips, too, don't they?

Just like their breasts.

I bet they use cotton.

Some of them have that operation.

I bet they use cotton.

Some of them have that operation.

Lend me your bra. I think I'll try stuffing it with something.

Sure, but if you want to stuff it, you'll need a bigger size.

Here.

Thanks.

What size do you wear?

32 AA.

I wonder why we have to wear these things anyway.

I read in Cosmopolitan they're supposed to keep you firm.

Oh, they'll say anything in those dumb ads.

Yeah, pretty soon they'll have us wearing steel corsets.

Wouldn't I look funny in one of those?

Yeah.

I think some of the boys put something in their pants, you know?

You mean down there?

Sure, haven't you ever felt it when you dance?

Sometimes it gets bigger and then it goes down.

Yeah, is that weird?

When I feel it getting bigger, I just move away.

You know, I like the line of this.

You know, some of those girls taking the commercial course aren't virgins anymore.

Who cares? They're a bunch of weirdos anyway.

Would you do with a guy like James Dean?

You better believe I would.

Yeah.

Come on, slow joe.

Yeah, yeah, I'm coming.

Go on, run.

Go on, run.

Hey, look out for the dog shit.

Dog shit.

You little donkey.

Oh, boy.

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey, hold on.

Yeah, start some time.

I'll walk away with you.

I sure did some out of sight work today, huh?

You did, you mean.

After a while, I can't concentrate anymore.

You've really perfected your technique, Alessandro.

I've only studied Miss Fermenti.

I mean, I've been watching how she positions her hands.

I don't know how she does it.

So composed.

Her wrists are so loose, man.

It's really something.

For my money, you're better.

You're crazy.

Man, have you seen how she uses her left hand?

And you're better than I am when it comes to using your left hand, right?

I don't know.

When I see a passage that's difficult, I get up tight and blow it.

I don't think anyone could tell the way you play.

Thanks.

Walk me back.

What's with you and Fermenti?

Geez, I've never seen you so alert in class.

Is it because you like the way she plays?

Or because you like her?

No answer, huh?

But you're laughing.

What are you laughing about?

Amos Brass?

Nothing.

You like her, right?

Come on, you can tell me.

You're off your nut.

Hey, look, I'm not the one that's in love with a piano teacher.

I'll see you later.

Yeah, see you.

So long.

Oh, sorry, excuse me.

Easy, fella.

Just exercising.

Hey, hurry up in there.

Yeah.

How long are you gonna be in there?

Just a little emergent, isn't he?

Ah, here comes a little present, darling.

Ready?

Oh.

Behave yourself now.

Mama knows what's good for you.

I'm telling you, I don't need any injections.

Oh, come on now.

I can't stand you holding it up in the air.

This room hasn't been sterilized.

This morning, I saw Alice's mother in town.

She told me the new piano teacher gave Alice a lot of compliments on her work.

I was so angry, I couldn't find words to tell her off by you a thousand times better than

her little twit.

Now, don't tell me I hurt you.

Good morning.

It's good afternoon, but come in anyway.

Our little taxman comes with his feet padded.

I'll just give you a little massage and then we're done.

I'd rather do it myself.

All right.

I brought the accounts for you to see.

One moment, please.

Oh, your father and I decided you should be having more lessons on the piano.

Only in private.

I spoke with the signoria from NT.

She'll make an exception in your case and come three times a week.

But don't look so sad.

You'll do just fine.

Not very good, was it?

Well, you played it correctly.

It's just that, uh, it's a bit mechanical.

Doesn't have enough feeling.

Also, you sit too stiffly.

You have to melt into it.

Like this.

Listen to the music.

It has to flow like a silver cord from the moon.

It has to flow like a silver cord from the moon.

It has to flow like a silver cord from the moon.

Oh, there's something wrong with the pedal.

Ah, it sticks once in a while.

One gets the wrong impression of your playing when the instrument's not in order.

That's right.

It'll be fixed in a second.

It won't take me more than a second.

How are you doing down there?

Oh, I'm all right.

Ah, look, Alessandro.

Oh, yes?

I think we can manage to play on it like it is for today.

Whatever you say.

Excuse me.

I hope you're ready for some tea.

This is our tax accountant.

He'll be joining us.

Ah, thank you.

We'll be right there.

Oh, dear.

Did you hurt yourself?

No, no, no.

It's nothing.

Nothing.

It's nothing.

I'd certainly like to know where you go every day with my camera.

You sure you know how to use it?

You showed me last month for the field trip.

Or did you forget already?

Eh, you've forgotten.

Because you're already using the wrong film in it.

That stuff's too sensitive to light.

You should only use that in a shaded room.

You'll never get a good exposure outside.

Look, I don't need your lousy camera anyway.

Ah.

Eh, you don't change, do you?

I only want to show you one little thing.

That this is a new model.

Look at this.

Watch.

With this, you can set the timing.

Got that?

And with this, you can regulate the diaphragm.

You understand?

Yeah.

All right.

It's a nice setup.

I'll be all right.

Thanks.

Ciao.

Ciao.

Ciao.

Ciao.

I heard from Gabriella that Miss Fermenti's giving you private lessons.

How's it going?

Then how come you're not practicing day and night?

I don't believe you need private piano lessons.

But if you're getting some other kind of lesson, you sure could use them.

Ah!

Did you hurt yourself?

No.

It's only a little scratch.

Oh.

Yeah, there's blood on the brake.

It's starting to hurt.

We better put some disinfectant on then.

The brake's a bit rusty.

It'll be all right, I think.

Ay!

Ow!

It hurts.

Oh!

There.

Well, I guess I'd better take you home, huh?

You sure you're okay now?

It's all right.

It's nothing.

Come on.

Try not to bend your knee.

Here, I'll help you.

Come on.

Oh, what are you doing here?

Is something wrong?

Look, I'm sorry you can't come in.

I have things to do.

If you have something to tell me...

How dare you?

What do you think you're doing?

Look, you can't break in on me this way.

It seems to be the best way to conduct our little session.

Oh!

Oh, they're horrible!

Dreadful!

How could you do such a thing?

Go ahead.

Go on, tear them all up.

I have the negatives.

It doesn't matter.

What do you want from me?

Oh, nothing.

I just want to help you.

Help me?

What do you mean, help me?

I don't need any help.

Sure you do.

Imagine what will happen when the president of the school sees these.

Shall I tell you what he's going to do?

He's going to blow his cork and boot you out of the school and all at the same time.

You can't do that.

You'll ruin me.

Exactly.

But don't worry.

You're a pretty smart lady.

I know that.

So then, you and I have to stick together and make sure that those pictures are never seen.

I'm sorry.

You're on the wrong track.

But nice try.

Let's put this on for the moment, all right?

Take this off.

Uh-uh.

The bra has got to go, too.

How about this?

Get on board, soon.

I'm not on board.

You are.

You're going home first, eh?

Me?

What?

No.

Let me play, huh?

Yeah!

Fire!

Get him!

Little savages!

Knucklehead!

Get lost!

Savages!

Get lost!

Sick!

Sick!

Sick!

Sick!

Sick!

Sick!

Dummy!

Get lost!

Sick!

Sick!

Sick!

Sick!

Sick!

Sick!

Dummy!

Get lost!

Well, how's your passionate love affair with Fermenti going?

Not bad, all things considered.

Must be one hell of a hard scale to get into your little head.

Will you quit joking around, all right?

Oh, Alessandra, you're so much in love you haven't noticed anything.

She's just as bad as all the others.

Maybe worse, but you...

You'd better start taking a good look at her.

What do you mean, take a look? I've looked already.

Look, Nitwit, I don't mean in her eyes.

You've got to watch the way the broad moves.

The way she dresses, her body.

Tomorrow would be a better time to take a good look.

Good morning.

Today we'll begin with the exercises which we did not finish yesterday.

Do you believe that blouse is worth while?

It's that much too much.

It doesn't mean anything. It could be chance.

It seems that you're restless today, Fincy.

My books fell. I'm really sorry about that.

I've been feeling a little strange lately.

I've been having visions.

Well, as you're so anxious to move around,

why don't you come up and play the piano?

Begin whenever you're ready.

That was beautifully done.

And for tomorrow I have another idea.

Strange. What the hell is so strange?

He's just normal, so quit worrying, will you?

When I was a kid, I used to do the same thing.

I'd sit and read a comic book from cover to cover.

Now, come on, dear, will you stop worrying?

Eat your food. It's going to get cold.

Alessandro!

Oh, God in heaven, will you do something with this woman?

Alessandro!

What do you want?

Is anything the matter?

No, I'm all right.

You've been in there 20 minutes.

What are you doing in there?

Nothing.

Are you sure you feel all right?

Yes, I'm all right, Mom.

Come and eat. Your dinner's getting cold.

Hey, come here.

What are you up to in there?

What are you up to in there?

You'll get warts.

Well?

Did you bring the negatives?

Why?

Look, Gabriele, I did what you asked.

You have to keep your part of the bargain.

But I only asked you one little stupid thing.

And it was easy for you, wasn't it?

That's not true.

It wasn't at all easy for me.

It was humiliating.

I felt like dying.

Come on.

Don't start lying to me at this point, okay?

All you're doing is adding sin to scandal.

Listen to me.

I'll be sincere with you.

That's nice.

Just don't take all day.

Most of my girlfriends from the conservatory got married.

They were promising pianists.

Now they're housewives.

Any woman who wants to get ahead in her career

has to sacrifice her personal life.

I'm looked on with suspicion

because I don't want to be a teacher for the rest of my life.

You know, your talk is as boring as you are.

And around here, we're already too damn bored.

Oh, don't you understand that to expose myself like this,

it's so degrading that it's tearing my heart apart.

Oh, dear, you poor thing.

You can't go on like this.

The martyr of the century.

Offer yourself to God.

If you're real good, you get a miracle.

I have nothing to do with your feelings.

As for your heart, see a doctor.

I want a lot more out of you now.

It'll be easier, so relax.

Try to be reasonable.

Trying?

Why, that's for you.

And I'll take care of everything else.

I'll tell you what to do.

I'll guide you.

I'll be your Pygmalion.

Pay attention to the regularity of the sound.

Keep it even.

Even.

That's right.

Crescendo.

Heighten it.

Heighten it, but always evenly.

Evenly.

Good.

Good.

Now, diminuendo.

Good.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Evenly.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hey, cry not loud. Be careful.

Did it burn you?

No.

Well, come on, you're the host.

Do something, will you, fathead? Dry her off.

Or don't you see that she's half-drenched?

Yes, all right.

Maybe it's better if you do it.

Alessandra, I think she'd rather have you do it.

Isn't that right?

Yes, if you'd be so kind.

Go on.

Does it hurt?

No.

No.

Oh, you're hopeless. You'll never get it done like that.

You have to lift the blouse or it'll never dry.

Use your head, dummy.

Look, you're so great. Why don't you do it then?

Oh, quit acting like a baby.

Uh, excuse me.

That's enough.

We can't sit here until tomorrow waiting for it to dry.

It'll dry itself anyway.

Well, uh, we can begin here.

I'm sorry.

Alessandra, do you give a damn about me or are you thinking of someone else?

Sometimes I think you're lost.

Why don't you have to be with anyway to get it on?

I don't know what you're talking about.

No, I'm sure you don't.

Listen, I want to do something. It's natural.

What's the matter? You think I'm a nun?

Whatever you say.

Okay, tiger. You can show me what you know how to do.

Uh, it's quite easy.

To begin with, you, uh, you just take off your pants, that's all.

I'm waiting.

For what?

I'm waiting for you to take them off.

Ah, yeah. Here I go.

Ah.

But you're not wearing any.

Bravo. You're a giant step ahead, so what now?

Then I, uh, I take off your dress.

Oh.

Don't you know how they work? All you do is pull and I'm there. Go on.

Ah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, of course. I know it.

Strange, though.

It feels tight.

I mean, doesn't it feel tight to you?

A little bit.

I bet it's killing you, huh?

Oh, God.

Ah.

Ah, son.

Ah.

Christ.

What are you kids doing in there? Go someplace else!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going. We're going.

Oh, leave him alone.

Come on.

You, shut up!

Damn it.

Oh, what lousy luck.

There's nothing.

Hey.

Do you see?

Oh.

Is that right? Was I playing it right?

Oh, uh, that was much better.

Oh.

Well, does she seem as pure as a lily to you now?

What are you saying?

Hey.

Come on, dumbbell.

You know what I mean.

Don't look so downhearted.

You trust me?

Hmm.

Hey, come on. I'm your friend, aren't I?

Well.

Yeah, yeah, you're my friend.

Right.

Then leave it to me.

We'll have a good time.

Oh, I can't help it.

All I ask is that you let me speak.

My boldness comes from my heart.

I can't help it.

What's the matter with you?

You can't be serious.

Yes, yes, I am serious.

I love you.

I can't control it.

I love you. I love you.

Oh, you've been working too hard.

I think you need a drink.

Oh, you're breaking my heart.

I need you.

I love you.

I can't believe you.

We'll run away.

I have money in the bank.

I'm all right here.

I'll be so good for you.

I'll suffer for you.

I'll die for you.

Oh, no one can love you like me.

I'm the only one.

Oh, God.

Money in the bank.

Tell me you love me.

Tell me.

Tell me you love me.

Don't do this.

Don't do this.

Stop it.

My name is Florendo.

Just to hear you call my name.

Would I be mad?

Now, God damn it, that's enough.

I have my life.

So it's not the best, but it's all I've got.

So you just stay back.

But all I want is to be loved.

That's enough.

I don't want to hear any more.

Oh, now you won't like me anymore.

I know it.

I knew this would happen.

Oh, quiet down.

Here, have a drink.

Is that you, Alessandro?

Yes, Ma.

I'm back.

And how was your lesson?

Okay.

Good morning.

Hi.

Listen, Alessandro, I have a dilemma.

I always got you on that one, boy, didn't I?

I have a dilemma and you have to help me solve it.

A what?

Now, we have two possibilities here, I think.

First possibility, you're screwing too much.

That's how come you look so worn out lately.

And the second is that you're not getting any at all.

So which one is it, huh?

Oh, come on, Pop.

It doesn't seem so important to me.

So how come it's a problem for you?

It's not important to you.

It should be the most important thing.

It is the most important.

Look, son, I know we're not in Africa.

I mean, I wish we were.

There are problems getting a girl these days.

That's for sure.

Dad, I have to go.

What do you mean you have to go?

Look, I'm trying to fill you in on the facts of life.

I'm doing the best I can.

I don't want you to go through life like an idiot.

You know how a woman's made, don't you?

Hey, wait a minute.

Well, do you know how one's made or don't you?

I have to go, Pop.

Wait a minute now, Alessandro.

Wait, wait for me, will you?

Now, seriously, do you know how a woman is made or not?

Yeah, I know.

Well, good, good.

Tell me, these little girls you go out with, how are they?

Have a nice day Luigi, Alessandro.

Yes, bye-bye dear, yes.

Now look, here's what I want to know.

Hey, they're built great, huh?

Oh, come on, Pop.

Now, this time you're not getting away with that.

I am your father and you're going to tell me.

Now, tell me, how's a woman put together, huh?

Go ahead, you know.

In front they have two things.

What kind of things?

Points.

Oh, come on now, they're tits.

Now, don't tell me you've never seen a pair of tits, have you?

Well, what do they look like?

There's two buttons, that's all I know.

Oh, my God.

What do you mean buttons?

They're nipples.

Everybody's got tits, for Christ's sake.

You can see them almost every night in the movies.

Oh, forget it.

Now, you tell me everything you know about tits.

That's what I...

Oh, good morning, Mr. Boone.

Oh, it's getting pretty hot in here, isn't it?

I think I'd better open up the window a little, huh?

I told you already, no.

The neighbors always call up the police when the piano's too loud.

Courage, friend, courage.

That's too bad, is it true?

I'm sorry.

But I can't do it.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

I'm sorry.

But if you'd like to call it a day...

I'm not the least bit hot.

What's the little heat?

You know, I think you might take off that lovely blouse if you're that hot.

No, it doesn't bother me.

You don't have to be that shy in front of us.

Or are you afraid Alessandra will attack you?

Hey.

Hey.

Man, it's incredible.

It just doesn't seem like her.

What is it?

Man, only wash women neglect to shave their armpits.

Didn't you know that?

Look, Gabrielle, it doesn't seem to be any of your business.

Now I have to finish the lesson, all right?

Hey, look, I don't care one way or the other about it, Alessandra.

But you should.

She's your teacher and she'll make a bad impression.

Now listen, Fincy.

Don't get upset now, lady.

You don't shave under your arms because you don't know how to do it.

Am I right?

Well, yes or no?

Yes, it's true.

You see that?

You really needed a shave.

What are you doing, sleeping?

What's the matter with you lately?

You're really out of it.

No, I was just finished.

Do I have to stay seated for this?

The show is especially for you.

Paris by night.

Three matches.

One after the other illuminates the night.

The first to light up these beautiful tits that drive you crazy.

And turn you into a raving idiot in class.

The second match is for her back bumper or ass.

Not bad, is it?

The way it wiggles under her clothes to magnetize all your attention.

And the third match is to show you only what you've imagined.

It represents the essence of everything you have desired.

And the magic bush that draws you to its entrance.

You think it's love, platonic or otherwise.

A grand passion that makes you throb.

And what do you think it is?

It's flesh, nothing else.

Alessandro.

Alessandro.

Where are you going?

Don't be like that.

What's wrong?

Come on.

I'm not going anywhere.

What's wrong?

Come on.

What's wrong?

Oh, friend, I think you're getting a bit too hot.

I think I better cool you off a little.

Okay.

Come on.

Come on.

Feel better now?

Go screw yourself.

Alessandro.

What's wrong now, mother?

Do you know what hour it is?

Oh, God, what's wrong, Alessandro?

Nothing, mother.

I fell in the fountain.

You're all wet.

You'll be sick.

Oh, mother.

Shit.

Shit.

Alessandro.

Hello, Senorina Pimenti?

Good morning, it's Corsini.

I have to talk with you.

It's a very urgent matter.

I'm sorry. I disappointed you I

Suppose you want to stop the lesson

That's right. I'm sorry, but I can't take any more lessons right now. I

Understand Alessandro

I'm sorry for your mother. I know she wanted it very badly. My mother will get over it sooner or later

Don't worry about it. And you I don't know what's

Going to happen. I can't think much about it. I don't understand what's going on

Do you believe you're the only one I don't know

Sorry, I didn't find it very amusing. That's all

Do you really believe that it's an amusing joke for me? What else do you think?

Aren't you really moralizing? Oh, look Alessandro in this environment of strict morality

Especially in this little province. We're all tempted to break out now and again

we're suppressed and

frail and

Our desires is such that any kind of a caress is welcome

But sometimes we read more into it than is actually there and

On the other hand, we're faced with reality. Our strict upbringing is always pulling us back into line

We realize that it's too high a price to pay

So what can we do?

Fall back into the fold

I have to because I'm a woman and it's much more difficult for me

It's nearly the end of the year

Let's wait be patient. Not do anything drastic and

When it's over well, everything will have faded like a soap bubble

Well now I'm moralizing after all I'm the teacher I don't really want to finish the lessons

Honest

And all I want is to understand don't be in a hurry to understand

I'll always remain with you. But as it should be just an adolescent dream

Don't question it anymore and above all, please don't judge me

Wait a minute, don't go wait, but why darling?

I don't think you've been listening open your ears and start listening to me. Oh only too

Well, you better get it together and get yourself ready. No, what did you say? No

You wouldn't believe a thing like that, would you she's crazy

Crazy

Thank You Alessandro

It was much harder than I thought

I didn't think it would be what

Well to realize what what was really happening and I know now that you did what you did because you were being blackmailed

And I'm really sorry

Is it the idea of blackmail that bothers you?

Yes

Well

It exists in every relationship

Husbands and wives goes on all the time

Between parents and children even friends

Everyone uses blackmail of one type or another in future. Don't let it surprise you too much

It seems like a sad thing to have to use

And my Alessandro

Chances are one day you may find yourself using emotional blackmail

All things considered Gabrielle is one mistake was doing it. So openly

Is there going to be a lot of this in my life, I'm afraid so

With everyone

Nearly but not this evening

This evening will be special

Or I'm in love with you

Or I'm in love with you

Let's get undressed

You

All right tomorrow, thank you

You

Come on silly come on

You

It wasn't all that difficult nope

Everything has a beginning guess so it's strange but strange what's strange, you know the other day in my room

When your uncle came in

I couldn't sleep that night and I was thinking that even if he didn't show up we wouldn't have done it. Why not?

Because that day you seem so awkward like a little boy so unsure of yourself

You were all thumbs like you didn't know where to begin and then today

Today's a different story

Oh

You
