"Good morning, professor." " Good morning, Antonio." "The light is still on." "We made the wee hours again tonight." ""The spirit is willing, but the flesh is tired"." "It's Petrarch who says it, you know?" "Antonio..." "With imagination, sometimes I see perfectly the woman.." "of my dreams, the woman of whom I write, that of a time gone by." "There still are women like those?" "Certainly!" " But with them, it is difficult to make poetry." "Giacomo, good morning." " Was I not right, Antonio?" "Why, dear, already awake?" " Good morning, Aunt Agata." "Why, dear, already up?" " Yes, recently." "Last night you must have worked till late!" "You strain yourself too much!" "Take the cod liver oil." " Excuse me, milk first." "No, no!" "Oil first." " The gentleman likes milk first." "I said oil first!" "Giacomo!" " Yes, Aunt Agata." " Do not take too much sun!" "Don't worry, Aunt." " Don't wear yourself out.." "and be back by five o' clock..." "not later!" "See Antonio, to be happy, I would need only to have my books, my flowers,.." "some money of mine, and to never have met dear Aunt Agatha." "I understand perfectly, professor." "Goodbye." " Good fishing." "And I beg you, be cautious." " Yes, goodbye." "Good morning, professor." " Good morning, Giuseppe." ""In vain, oh woman, I long to find you."" ""Are you on land, sea, or in heaven?"" ""To meet you, alas, I wish..."" "Giuseppe, a fish...a fish!" "It's sheer madness!" "What do you have to say in your defense?" "Only a criminal could..." "Excuse me, miss." " I did not want to fall on top of you." "I'm sorry, sir...sir?" " Professor Giacomo Banti." "Dora Sandri." " I..." "I regret having used expressions not very polite, but..." "Would you mind drawing it from the water?" " Gladly." "Listen, will you help me find a dry dress?" "Certainly, but I wouldn't know where to find it." " Your house is near?" " Yes." "Then you will give me one of your wife." " I have no wife, but..." "Perhaps, Aunt Agata." " Very well, of Aunt Agata." "Lady, Lady Agata." " Yes?" "Giacomo!" "O God, you drowned?" "Dear aunt Agata, let me introduce you..." "Look at the state!" " Dear aunt Agata,..." "How did you reduce you so?" "Antonio, hurry!" "The culprit is me." "It was a small accident." "My name is Dora Sandri." "I'm sorry to disturb you so, but... the professor has insisted time and again, that ..." "I..." "I thought..." "I..." "I thought..." "The miss certainly needs to change." " I'll take care of that, very gladly!" "In the meantime, you go to your room, go to bed, and try to sweat, you know?" "Antonio, a cup of hot chamomile tea, at once!" "Come, sir." "You, miss, come with me, you can choose a dress you like." "What a type, Miss Sandri!" " Do you know her?" " Everybody knows her!" "Magazines always publish her photos." "Even this week." "A lot of millions." "Millions, and sports." "You better be quiet until she stays." "Stays?" " For dinner only." "Mrs. Agatha could not help but ask her." "Antonio ..." " Yes?" " My black suit." "Have you gone mad?" "Want to take an ailment?" "Back to your bedroom." " But, Aunt..." " Back to your bedroom, and sweat!" "Here I am!" "You put on the dress of poor Clara, Giacomo's mother!" "?" "Maybe I did wrong?" " No, far from it." "How come you're up already?" " A foolishness!" "A real foolishness!" "Please, miss." "Yet, you should go back in your room and try to sweat." "I don't really need to sweat." "I feel great, I can stay, no?" "Antonio!" " Yes, madam." " You must prepare for the gentleman too." "Oh!" "There is a child at home?" " Why?" "I recognized the horrible bottle of liver oil." "It is for Giacomo!" "You will find it terribly ridiculous." " No, I'm just a little surprised, but.." "I think that, after the oil, professor, you too will take a good cocktail." "Cocktail?" "God forbid, never!" "No alcohol!" "Have you seen a woman go down with the parachute?" "I said, have you seen a woman go down with the parachute?" "You seen a bar go down with a parachute?" " Come on, he doesn't understand a thing." "No women, no bar!" " Let's go!" "I owe you an explanation." "I fell from the sky for a bet." "For a bet?" " Yes, with my friend, Prince Huerta." "We've always made bets." "Before, just for fun, and now, to get married." "To get married?" " Yes." "You will find all this terribly immoral,.." "but I do it so, as a sport." "Sport ?" " Yes." " Sport...!" "Poor Bob!" "I'll marry him only if he wins a bet,.." "but I do all I can in order to keep the danger very far." "Have you seen a woman fall from a plane?" " No woman here." " Come Bob, let's go." "I shall go." "I'm sorry I can't wait for your friends, but it's late." "I must go." "Goodnight, and thank you very much." "You're welcome, miss, and goodnight." "I can't stand it anymore." "Please give me a cigarette." " Gladly, but I don't..." "You don't smoke?" " No." "Let's go into the garden." "What a magnificent greenhouse!" "Orchids!" "How beautiful!" " This...this is a very rare specimen." "So rare that I dare say it is unique." "It is the flower I cherish the most." " What pity!" "Would look so good on this dress!" "No!" "Thanks, but why, professor?" "Because...it pleased you." "What a perfect gentleman!" "Professor, you don't drink, you don't smoke ..." "But tell me, this life as a hermit, even among many flowers, makes you happy?" "Yes, happy." "And you never thought it would be nice to have next to you.." "a young woman, pretty and affectionate, and in love with you?" "No." " No?" "But I'm sure that the day that you will find love,.." "you will happy to fall into it." " You think?" "No, here we haven't seen anyone." "Shall we go see in the villa down there?" " If you want..." "In the villa of Professor Banti?" "It's useless, you know?" "Good evening." "Let's go have a drink, I'm thirsty." " What a great idea!" "How wonderful!" "And tell me, did you read all those books?" "Not only read but also carefully studied." " And you play the piano?" "No, no." " Don't tell me lies, Banti, I know that you compose." "I saw some notes on the piano..." "indeed, let me hear something." "Mind you, I'm expert enough, and I'll be a very severe judge." " No, you see,.." "I don't like the music that you prefer." " What?" "Yes, certainly you appreciate jazz." " Why, you don't like it?" "No, excuse me, no." " Really?" "At least to me, jazz is not music." "True music must express what nature tells us,.." "the poetry of the mountains.." " Oh, how nice!" "Harmonizing the increasingly strange melodies of the lake..." " How wonderful!" "Enhance our purest feelings!" " Cute!" "And the soul needs to rise..." " What soft hair!" "Oh, sorry, Mr. Giacomo." "It's Bob!" "What a pity!" "Oh, Dora, there you are!" "Whole?" "Nothing is missing?" " No." "Finally!" " Thank goodness we found you!" "We've been looking for you for hours!" "Tell us, what happened, what happened?" "The wind made me fall in water, but Mr. Banti saved me, risking his life." "Muchas gracias." "Prince Huerta, Fofi Carli..." "Giacomo Scotti..." "What Giacomo, Dora!" "I'm Jack!" "Simply Jack!" "Carletto Sabatini." " Pleasure." "You see?" "You lost the bet." "Yes, dear, but eventually I will win." "The stakes are too good." "But Dora, what are you wearing?" " It's funny, but it's Aunt Agata's." "Aunt Agata?" "So then we can drink!" " Silence, please." "The aunt is sleeping, don't make noise." "Come with me." "Fine, in silence." " We just want to drink." "Please ..." " I just want to drink." "Be polite." " As long as we drink." "I don't think there is liquor." " In a house like this?" "Imagine!" "I'll find it now!" "Antonio, the gentlemen would like..." "But, do we have at home?" "..." "Leave, I'll deal with Tony." "Come on!" "Remember, strong stuff!" " Fofi, you go into the cellar with Tony." "I have an idea!" "Where the dining room?" " Here." "And what is there?" " The studio." " Come on!" "Professor, I'm mortified." "It's my fault, right?" " No, miss." "Maybe you did not expect such a fuss." "Yes, it's not very usual for me." "Our life here is so quiet." "And what do you think of Bob?" " Bob?" "Very elegant,...and... do you love him?" " What are you saying!" "Love!" "It is he who is set to marry me." "Cherries..." "This, this..." "Whoop!" "Cognac!" "Bueno!" "How, you don't love him and you let him marry you?" " They are two distinct things." "Moreover, I have not decided anything." "Perhaps, a day of disappointment, if I don't have anything better..." "Bob is decorative, he loves sports..." "He loves sports?" " Yes." "Like you?" " Like me." "Dora!" "We have found!" " I haven't found anything." "The cherries!" "Tomorrow you will resume your life, with your flowers, your books ... and you will forget me." " No, don't say that." "I hope to see you again soon." "Oh, New Year's Eve!" "Where will you spend it?" "I don't know." "Certainly, here." "Listen, if I write you, will you join us?" "We'll go to the mountains." "I assure you, it's fun, it's delicious." "I bet you'll forget." " I accept, I'm sure to win." "Here!" "Cheers to Dora!" " Thanks." "But you don't drink?" "I should be offended, huh?" "I can not!" " Why?" " I never drank liquor, it might hurt me." "No!" " Oh, yes." "This drink must be infernal." " Infernal?" "Nah!" "Take my advice, professor, drink!" "Enough." " Are you happy?" "Did you eat well?" "Oh, sure!" " Then give me a kiss." "No, I gotta go." " Why?" "Because, if the mistress comes, a scandal happens." "Don't worry, when she's out with Mr. Bob, my mistress never returns early." "Why, that monkey always runs behind her?" " Monkey!" "To begin with, Bob is a handsome guy." " What, maybe you like him?" "Alfredo..." " I bet he kissed you." "Don't start over with jealousy, please." "I've told you many times!" "It hurts to be teetotal, and it hurts to keep wearing the dust of those books." "Come on my two-seater at 140 per hour, and the dust will be gone!" "Yes, the dust will be gone!" "Ready?" "Give me that artichoke, so I eat it!" "Whoop!" " Bravo!" "Whoop!" " Bravo!" "Professor, you have to drink!" " Do not abuse the hospitality." "Right!" "Thanksgiving!" "#And we thank the professor... #for champagne and cognac." "#And we thank the professor... tra-la-la, tra-la-la!" "#" "#And we thank the professor... and that's that, and that's that!" "#" "Dark?" "The professor economizes!" "Now they will stop making noise, and will go away." "Let's hope so." "Dora, dear, be good, and let's go home." "I promise that we'll run at 150, and in half an hour we get home." " Yes." "No, miss Sandri." "I find it unwise that you go away with...at this time." "Forgive me..." "Here at home there is room for everyone." "Right?" "But Mrs. Agatha ..." " There is room for everyone, right?" "The gentlemen could stay until morning." "Good idea, professor." "I accept." " Approved unanimously." "Thank you, Giacomo..." "Mr. Giacomo." "Goodnight, dear." " See you tomorrow." "Goodnight." "You are Jack, like me!" "Bye, Tony." "Goodnight, Giacomo, and remember the New Year." "But I'll see you again tomorrow, I always get up early." "Oh, really?" "See you tomorrow then." " See you tomorrow." "#I told my heart not to love..." "#I told my heart not to dream..." "#Because I always thought that love... #only was but vanity." "#But from the day that I saw you... #now I know what love can be..." "#It is pure magic..." "#I love you so... #and tell my heart:" "you gotta love.#" "Master." "Is the young lady up?" "Miss Sandri left a few hours ago." "But, what time is it?" " Twelve o'clock." " And why didn't you wake me?" "I cannot trust anyone in this house!" "And...she left nothing said for me?" " Yes" "I must repeat these words of hers:" ""Do not forget the New Year's Eve"." "Hello, my boy, how are you?" "You're better, right?" "You can be happy now, they are all gone." "The hubbub is over!" "Enough!" " What is it?" "I don't want to be treated like a child anymore!" " But, my boy!" " I am a man, I!" "Who laughs?" " Nobody's laughing!" " Antonio!" "I?" "I swear I'm not!" "Egregious Prince,..." "do you intend to pay, or not?" "Listen, dear friend ..." " I'm no longer your dear friend!" "Pay!" "Or I'll make you understand once and for all,.." "that the endorsement signatures on the bills of payment, must be authentic." "Be reasonable." "You well know that I am going to marry Miss Sandri." "You said that too many times, I no longer believe it." " This time it's true, word of honor." "Huh!" "Word of honor..." "Listen, I give you two months, after which..." "Fix the date?" "Why, have I lost a bet, maybe?" "That's not the point." "But in society there is much talk of our marriage." "An old aristocrat, good friend of mine,.." "asked me the date." "He must leave, and he really needs to know." "Oh, the poor old Marquis!" "I think he can go two times around the world, and still be in time." "It would be really annoying, though." "Hello, Dora." " Fofi!" "Would you do me a nice snapshot?" "I really need one." ""Do not forget New Year's Eve." "Margherita Hut, Monte Rosa."" ""How to become a man in 8 weeks"." "Another mysterious package!" "What can it be?" " Let's open it, ma'am." "Stop!" "That parcel must not be touched!" "This package must not be touched!" "I need it for the congress." "But what congress?" " I told you, at the end of the month I must go to Rome." "Just during New Year holiday?" " Yes." "Antonio, he wants to go to Rome!" " Madam, I'm afraid!" ""Fifth week...etc."" "Please, madam." " Antonio !" "Him again!" "Antonio !" " What now?" ""Make a test, and no one will resist.." "the force of your muscles."" "The master called?" " Yes, Antonio." "You shut the door?" " Yes." "Hold on!" "Figure 35." "Here, 200 lire for you,.." "and...forgive me, huh?" "Nothing?" "Evidently,...the system is wrong!" "Sorry again, so sorry!" "And please, do not say anything to my aunt." "It is wrong!" "What did he want?" " Do not ask me, madam." "It's horrible." "My poor professor!" " What have you got there?" " Do not ask." "I must know, I am his trustee!" "I have to look after him!" "Giacomo..." " Tell me." "Giacomo..." " What?" "Nothing?" " Nothing." "Bye, Auntie!" "Bye!" "He smokes too!" "It's over ... over." "It's over!" ""Watch out, Driving school"" "Not my fault!" "I wanted to steer to the right..." "Good morning!" "Please, I want a first... a first class for the Margherita hut." " For the Margherita hut?" "Yes, in the Aosta Valley." " You must get off at Pont Saint Martin." "Then give me a first for Pont Saint Martin and one for Rome." "Right away, sir." "Thank you, doctor, you reassured me." "But I think it will be very difficult to persuade him to go to the mountains." "Antonio!" "It's him!" "Go away!" "If he finds you here, he might have a nervous breakdown!" "Giacomo dear, I want to talk to you." " What do you want, aunt?" " Listen..." "You absolutely must not go to that congress in Rome." "Not go?" "You make me laugh!" "Listen carefully, aunt Agata, my decision is irrevocable." ""I'd rather break, than bend"." "I dare say: "Rome or death"!" "But you are...you're tired!" "I just want your own good, you know, dear." "In Rome, with so many people, the excitement ..." " I'm leaving!" "You'll fall sick!" "You must not..." " I'm leaving!" "In short, don't forget that I am the owner in this house, and you shan't go!" "Why, I have coached, aunt." "I studied for 8 weeks for this congress!" "And you say..." "I must leave, and I'm leaving!" " Well, I speak on your behalf, Giacomo." "Listen Giacomo..." "Will you listen to what I'm saying?" "Well!" " Too often you mentioned your money!" "But remember, nothing will keep me from going!" "Moreover, I have a ticket already." "You mustn't go to Rome." "For your health, you must go to the mountains." "To the mountains?" " Yes." "Alright." " Antonio will immediately buy a ticket." "No need, aunt." "I already have one!" "Enough, stop!" " It is almost midnight." "Dora ..." " Give me a cigarette." "In a few minutes starts the new year." "For the last time this year, I'm asking you: when will we get married?" "For the last time this year, I'm telling you that I don't know yet." "You don't want me to believe you're thinking of Professor Jack, huh?" "And what if did?" " I would kill him." "Attention guys!" "I think there's one minute left!" "At the hut they already gave the first signal!" "How silly!" "I bet that now he's in his mansion, in slippers and dressing gown.." "and celebrates the New Year with Dante and Aunt Agata." " Drinking cherry syrup." "Attention!" "Another red rocket!" "They light the fireworks!" "He won't come, want to bet?" " Okay, bet." "The usual stake?" " Sure." " Bueno." "But mind you, this time I'll win!" "Midnight!" "Hurrah!" "Me too, guys!" " Me too, me too!" "I am so happy." "So much so..." "Here he is!" "We'll give you a drink now, so you warm up." "Oh, Banti..." " As you see, I kept my promise." "And you lost." " Obviously." "Happy new year professor." "I am so happy." "But why did you come so late?" "I walked all the way here." " You walked!" "How brave!" "To the New Year, professor." " Thanks." "Happy New Year, Bob." " Happy New Year." "Happy New Year, Fofi." "Happy New Year, Jack." " Happy New Year Dora." "Happy New Year everybody!" "Happy New Year." "Professor, you came among us." "Bravo!" "Jack, nice guy, you too drink, huh?" "Do you like?" "English Mixture." "Sweet!" "Mixed with honey." "Bravo, professor!" "Dora, vamos!" " Here I am!" "Professor, what are you doing?" "I come..." "I come with you down to the valley." "Want to break your head?" "God forbid!" "Naturally, you come with the cable car." "Meet you at noon, at the hotel." ""Bye bye"!" ""Bye bye"!" "Really want to go down to the valley on skis?" "Yes, they all did it..." " Don't do it." "It's difficult, you know?" "If I don't start, I'll never learn." "I am interested in this sport." "It's dangerous, don't go." " It means that, faced with danger, I'll stop." "Oh yeah?" "Then use the Norwegian system." "When you see the danger, close your eyes and..." "Okay, when I see the danger, I close my eyes and..." "Thank you." "Thanks a lot." ""Bye bye"." "Professor!" "But what the hell have you done?" "Nothing, I wanted to ski ..." " But why?" "I told you!" "No more such nonsense." "Promise?" " Promise." "See, see?" "It's a simple scratch." "I'm fine." "Fine?" "You risked killing yourself!" "Now try to heal as soon as possible, and be quiet." "I'll keep you company, do you want?" " Yes" "Giacomo, remember that night in your house?" "I don't know why, but I immediately took a great liking for you." "Master!" "Prudence." "I go, Giacomo." "Friends are waiting." "But I'll come back soon to see you." "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "Do not move so much!" "Ouch, ouch!" "I seem to have the body to pieces, crushed, but .." "I am so happy!" "Be quiet, professor." " I am so happy!" "Otherwise, the fever begins to rise." " Yes?" "And what do I care?" "The lady?" " In her room." "She's coming." "So we're off!" "Are you happy?" " Happy?" "No, I'm not." " Why?" "The Miss will not return to Milan before three weeks." " So what?" "So, when I will arrive, my Alfredo will be already gone for training." "Alfredo?" " Don't you know him?" "Alfredo Martinelli, a great champion." "No, no!" "He's my fiancé." "Here he is." "Hello?" "Yes, one moment." " Who's on the phone?" "It's Mr. Banti, who whishes to see you." " Tell him I'll be down immediately." "The Miss will come down immediately." "Bob, are we going?" " Sure, sure." "But, my picture!" "Allow me?" "That song..." "I copied it." "#I told my heart not to love, #I told my heart not...#" "I wrote it very clearly, so that you can read it well." " Thanks." "Allow me to accompany you?" " No, I hate goodbyes at the station.." "after two delicious weeks spent together." "Thank you." "Moreover, we don't separate ourselves forever!" "Get well soon professor." "Do no more nonsense.." "and no more sports experiments." "Got it?" "I asked Bob to take care of you." "Right, Bob?" ""Yes"." " Oh, well." "Let's go." "See you soon, professor." "See you soon." "See you soon, Bob." " See you very soon, dear." "No, stop!" "Do not take cold." "See you soon." "Goodbye, Dora." " See you in Milan." " Miss Sandri!" "Miss Sandri!" "My song." "Oh, thank you." "Sorry." "Goodbye." "Goodbye, Emilia." " Goodbye." "#I told my heart not to love...#" "Dear professor..." "You consider me a friend, right?" " Certainly." "I care for you, you know?" "Very much!" "Also because you make me very sad." "Sad?" "You see, professor..." "How hard to talk sometimes!" "Listen..." "Shall we sit?" "Let's sit for a moment, so we talk better." "Do you mind?" "Sit." "Can I speak frankly, honestly?" " Of course." "Certainly it isn't good for a gentleman to talk about certain things,.." "but I feel it my duty to warn you." "Warn me?" "I don't get it." " No?" "Then I will tell you that Dora.." "is not worthy of us!" " What are you saying?" " I say!" "Calm down, sit down." "Sit!" "I repeat:" "Dora loves not you nor me." "Do you want a proof?" "Look at this photograph." "I found it just now, in her room." "What?" "You don't mean that between Dora and this velocipedestrian..." " Yes!" "Yes." "Dora is the result of the natural environment where she lived, poor girl." "Was orphaned early, rich, free,...and then the craze of sports exaltation..." "I'll never believe that Dora might have..." " It's the truth, professor!" "My word of honor!" "Perhaps you doubt my word of honor?" "No." "Poor Jack!" "Mah..." "It's painful, I know." "But, could I leave you in your illusion of love?" "No, it's right, you had to warn me." "Listen to me, try to forget her!" "I will do so." "Unless you want to compete with the handsome cyclist." "But that would be absurd, right?" "Bye, Jack." " Bye, Bob." "Master, let's go home." "Mrs. Agatha is furious." "Let's go back home!" "Yes, pay the bill and pack up." " Okay." "Excuse me, please, can you change 50 cents?" "50 cents change!" "Thank you." "The fortuneteller." "Reveals your future." "Consult it." ""Do not relinquish the woman you love,.."" ""but fight for her." "In love, wins who fights."" ""Bet on 14-28-35."" "All done, let's go." "Yes, but to Milano." "Strange, I don't see my friends." "They're always here." " Antonio!" " What?" " There." "Look who's here!" "Treat a drink, huh?" " Carlo, I was expecting you." "Sit down, professor." "Read a newspaper, have an orange soda." "I'll be right back." "An orange soda and a newspaper, please." "Guys, you've got to help me." "It's about this ..." "I'm not jealous, because I do not give importance to women..." "And then, my girlfriend does not look at anybody else." "What do you want?" "Go away." "She is so affectionate, so loving.." "I tell you, sometimes, she is even boring!" "What's with that guy with the beard?" "It's an hour he's been staring at me." "I don't know him." "You don't know her then?" "She's beautiful, a beautiful girl." "So, I'll take care of the registration, and you..." "Agreed." " Bye." "Done." " Did you register me?" "Yes." " Good." "Emilia!" " Good morning, professor." "How is...how are you?" " Fine, thank you." "You no longer visit us, how come?" " I am very..." "Goodbye, Emilia." " Goodbye." "Here I am." " Who was he?" " A friend of the lady." "Are you jealous?" " Of that fellow there?" "God forbid!" "But I warn you, that if I catch you once at. .." " Catch what!" "You know me, darling, don't you?" " Exactly!" "Hello?" "Professor Banti." "Not there?" "Strange, he's always out..." "Do not enter!" "What do you want?" " Are you in a bad mood?" " No, why?" "Are you engaged for Sunday?" " Not yet." " By chance, I had an extraordinary news." "I want to take you to an incredible sight to see." "You will enjoy it." " Okay." "Banti." "Where is he?" "Where is Banti?" "So, have you got it?" " Here's the nails." " Shut up you idiot!" "How many?" " 5 kg." " Go." "Then, after the fifth kilometer, you sprint, determined, rapid..." "The cycling events, in addition to the undeniable sports value,.." "present a very interesting side for folklore and tourism." "Are you Banti?" " Yes." " Come on, they wait for you since half an hour!" "Are you Banti?" " Yes." " Finally!" "Martinelli, good luck!" "What do you do?" "Go behind!" "Go!" "At place!" "Ready!" "..." "Hey !" "Quick, professor, for the first 5 km, hold on!" "Come on, professor!" "Always straight, huh!" " Go, go!" "Aw, let's go, Bob." "I don't enjoy myself at all, here." "We arrived late, but be patient." "You'll see." "On arrival, you'll enjoy yourself." "Come on!" "What a disaster!" "Curb, professor, you'll kill yourself!" "Slow!" "Carlo, it's your turn now!" "Courage, sir!" "Insist!" "Attention!" "There was another fall of the whole group!" "Excuse me, I would like a glass of orange juice with a little ice, and..." "One to me!" " To me!" " To me!" "I'm so hot and there, there's nothing left." "You hot?" " Yes" "Thank you." "Here, professor, drink." " Thanks Antonio." "But, why do they all fall, always?" " Sh!" "Do not care about it." "Rather, keep left, on the bad side of the road." "I hope to arrive in the leading group." "I hope so too." "Anyway, quick, get your check stamp." " Yes." "Please, would you stamp me?" "Come on, Professor!" "Keep on the bad side of the road!" "Attention!" "Many cyclists have punctured." "These incidents are really inexplicable." "Nails!" " Did you see?" " It was that guy on the car!" "Hurry!" " Come on!" "Come on!" ""Beard", say..." " Quick, there's a train!" ""Beard", say, you made throw the nails, right?" "Ah, you know nothing about?" "Not even about the falls in group?" "Ugly crook!" "But you'll talk, you know?" "When we arrive I will tear your beard!" " I won't speak with such individuals." "Individual?" "Me?" "You have a stupid face!" "This is too much!" "An accident has put the champ Martinelli out of the race." "The author of the unjustified aggression was identified." "A would-be Professor Banti, has been..." "Miss, two minutes only." "It's against the rules." "Professor..." "Giacomo, what does it mean?" "What have you done?" "Nothing." "I wanted to participate in a bicycle race." "But why?" " Please, do not compel me to speak." "Stop with this tone, Giacomo." "I want you to tell me." " You do?" "Just one name..." "Alfredo." " Alfredo?" " Yes." " Miss, the two minutes have passed." "I'm leaving now!" "I want you to tell me, I must meet you." "Miss..." " Here I am, here I am." "I've taken care of everything, you'll be released in an hour." "Come straight to me." "I'll wait for you tonight." "Dear professor, but how did it come to your mind?" "Who is this Alfredo, a rival?" "So what?" "In love, woe to show yourself jealous!" "A rival..." "Trifles!" "Trifles!" "I've seen many, here, who have ruined themselves for women." "Who cheated, who killed, who escaped with cash..." "But a man who, for a woman, makes a bicycle race,.." "complete with beard..." "in truth, I had not happened yet." "I give you a fatherly advice:" "be happy, carefree!" "Don't worry about things, don't be so sad!" "And cut your beard." "Cut your beard!" "Even in prison!" "My nephew in prison!" "This is too much, enough!" "Good, Antonio, I was expecting you." "Give me 2,000 lire, I have to do some shopping." " But I don't have a penny." "Mrs. Agata phoned, she's furious." "She says that if I don't go back immediately, I'm fired." "As for you, she won't even hear your name." "Listen to me, let's leave immediately." "Later." "First I have to have a talk that's very important, to me." "Let me go, I will come to you tomorrow." "If he sees me, he makes a scene." "What do I care about him?" "I say, I'm paying you for news, right?" "And well!" "So this damn wedding, will it be or not?" "Listen, want the truth?" "It seems to me that Miss is not going to marry Mr. Bob, for now." "Tell me why you've done that crap, or I'll break your face!" "Who paid you?" "I only know that there is a woman between you and "Beard."" " What?" "What's up?" "Oh God, Alfredo, you fell?" "And you ask?" "You're the cause of it all!" " I?" "Don't act the little innocent!" " God, Alfredo, I swear I don't understand!" "Why didn't you tell me?" " What?" " That Banti was your lover." "My lover?" " Carlo told me." "Carlo!" "Listen, I saw him twice in my life." " But with someone like you.." "twice is too many!" " My God, what do I have to hear!" "?" "#I told my heart not to love..." "#I told my heart not to dream..." "#Because I always thought that love only was but vanity..." "#But from the day that I saw you... #now I know what love can be..." "#It is pure magic, I love you so... #and tell my heart: you gotta love.#" "Dora, come, or we lose also the 2nd act." " No, let's wait some more." "He called, will be here shortly." "You'll see." "He's a man a little outside our world,.." "a little shy, somewhat extravagant, but after all, he's so cute." "Miss!" " What is it?" " Professor Banti is here." "Hello, Dora!" "Good evening." "Good evening." "Professor Banti." " Professor Banti..." "Nah..." "Jack!" "My pleasure." "Carletto, have a light?" "Your English mixture is very good, you know?" "A little sweet, but delicious." "Thank you." "What a guy!" "The evening he came to us, he was drunk." "I was teetotal, and he was determined to make me drink." "Charley, Charley!" "Well, we go to the theater, Dora." " Evening." "I'm going too." "Well, what happened?" " Nothing!" "I'm happy, and carefree." "So, who is this Alfredo?" " Alfredo..." "Trifles..." "Trifles..." "#But from the day that I saw you, now I know what love can be..." "#It is pure magic, I love you so, and tell my heart: you gotta love.#" "Lady, on the phone, hurry." "Long distance." "Professor, did you like the trick?" "What trick?" " The phone call." "I made it up myself, you know?" "It is not true!" "I made it up, to be alone with you." "But tell me, why you want me so much?" "I?" " Yes...but I love you too, you know?" "Say, when do you want us to meet?" "Tomorrow?" "At your place?" "You know it all!" "Rascal!" "Am I disturbing you?" "Dora, you're not going to assume that..." " It's useless!" "I never imagined that you'd seek the ideal of your dreams in the kitchen!" "How much poetry!" " But Dora, I..." "Oh, Bob!" " What happens?" " I'm very glad you're here now." "Why?" " Maybe you won the bet." "How?" " The professor wants to leave, Emilia." "Professor, courage." "Well, do we leave?" "Listen, just go ahead, I can not leave this city." "At home I wouldn't feel good." "I feel I now hate flowers, books, Aunt Agatha.." "liver oil." " But what will you do, sir?" "You are inured badly..." " Here." " For me?" "Yes" " Thank you." "You've never known money's value." "Don't delude yourself." "The lady won't send you a penny." "I will work, I will use my intellectual patrimony." "Here." " Thank you." "Be careful, sir, you'll have to leave the hotel." "Believe me, you will end up badly." "Even if I'll have to leave the hotel now, it means that I will return." "Do not forget that I have my degrees." "A man of my culture will never fall to the bottom." "Do not forget that I have my degrees." "I will use my intellectual patrimony." "I will work." "Sir, let's go back home." " No." "My God, there's Dora!" "Come on, hurry!" "You have done 3,000 lire of damage." "You are criminals, and I'm firing you!" "Even if I'll have to leave the hotel now, it means that I will return." "A man of my culture will never fall to the bottom." "Hey, professor!" "Go figure why a man likes women!" "Chef, 30 seats for tomorrow." "Wedding Sandri-Huerta." "What the hell are you doing?" "Who was it?" "Idiot!" "But don't you understand that you ruined a set!" "Who put this idiot on my way?" "Always disasters, with these ignorant morons, illiterates,.." "who can not even move!" "Dora, hurry up, Bob is impatient." " Really?" "Tell Bob to be very calm, he's not my husband yet!" "Oh, thank you, Anna." "How beautiful!" " A darling!" "Dear Dora, you are the picture of happiness." "Psychologist!" "Don't lose heart like that, professor." "Rather, make yourself be paid well, for the work you do." "Why should I pay?" "Yesterday's Latin translation was all wrong." "What a shame!" "The teacher said it was full of errors!" "Okay, I pay the same." " Sir, I'm going for breakfast." "How, was it wrong?" " Yeah." "In fact, I was doubtful about that ablative." "What a nice discovery!" "Vittorio, I've told you many times not to stop and chat in the street!" "Oh, Mr. Giacomo !" "God, how..." "How strange that we meet today that the Miss is getting married." "At 1pm, right?" "You don't know whom she's going to marry, right?" " Prince Huerta." "I mean, you don't know what kind of villain she's marrying!" "I know someone who has such documents to send him to jail right away!" "Oh, do you know that Alfredo left me?" " What?" " He left me." "Dear professor, men are inconstant in love." " Why, what documents?" "Some false bills, I don't know ..." " Come on, Emilia, let's go!" "You know dad doesn't want you to stop and talk to men on the street!" "Dear, I'm coming." " Wait." "Who has those documents?" "A loan shark, Mr. Rossi." "Via San Marco, 1." "Here's breakfast, sir." "Via San Marco, 1." " Yes." "But what happened to him?" "Eh, what manners!" "Excuse me, huh?" "Via San Marco, 1." "Two and ten." " I have no money!" " How, I have no money!" "Wait here." "How "wait here"?" "What a type! "I have no money!"" "All morning at the parking lot for two and ten!" "Uncle Scrooge!" "Listen!" "I'm saying to you!" "Hey, concierge, that door hasn't got another way out, by chance?" " No." "Sure?" " Yes." " Good, otherwise, those two ten..." "Listen, Mr. loan shark, is it you who has the false bills of Prince Huerta?" "How long I have to wait!" "If he comes down, I'll show him!" "He will taste the cure of the crank!" "Mr Rossi, I need them." "I really need them!" "I give you my word of honor that tonight you will be paid." "Dear sir, they are false, but to me, they're worth 600,000 lire." "If you pay me now this sum, I have no problem in..." "Quick, let's go to the church ..." " Pay, first!" "I'll pay you later." " No, now!" "What happens?" " Oh, good, Antonio!" "Look, I leave you hostage my butler." "What butler, what hostage!" "Don't be funny." "You better pay me, or..." "One moment, the photograph..." "Sir... let's go back home!"
