"I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU" "She left this morning." "Hello, Professor." " How are you?" " Almost there." "Best wishes." "You can hand it to me." "Here." "Everything will be alright." "On my own." "Surely, I've undertaken a rather painful mission." "What's her name again, please?" " Adriana..." "Wait." "Adriana Rosé." "Rosé, Rosé..." "Adriana Rosé, number 7." "Are you happy?" "Yes, I am." "He wrote that he'd come." "How are you?" "Hello!" "She's got some visitors today." " See?" "I told her so." "Hello, Miss!" "All done?" " And how!" "Two!" "Handsome!" "Boys!" "Two boys?" "Two men!" "Sorry, Mrs Verzin?" " Who?" " Mrs Verzin." "The chemist?" "Not yet." " Thanks." "Mrs..." "Mrs Clerici would like to talk to you." "I must talk to you about someone." "About Diego." "Diego?" " Yes." "Diego asked me to come visit you." "Please forgive him for not being able to come today." "Diego is doing fine." "But, you surely know that this relationship brought him much trouble with his family," "many sorrows..." "Where's Mom?" "First, off with your cap!" "Whose mom?" "Angelina." " Angelina what?" "Angelina Rossi." " Number 14." "You should've realized it was impossible, my girl." "There are social obligations." "We all have them." "We must respect them." "Even if it's painful, even if it means making sacrifices." "Chin up!" "Calm down!" "Stop crying!" "He's suffering, too." "Good shot!" "Come on now!" "Cheer up!" "Everything gets sorted out in life." "You'll forget with time." "You're still so young." "Girlhood..." "Calm down, okay?" "Calm down!" "Calm down!" "Let me." "Calm down, please!" "No need to despair." "Don't cry." "You'll see." "Try to see him again, to talk to him..." "Send for him." " Right, nobody to send for him?" "Nobody." "Nobody!" "I'm lonesome." "I've always been lonesome." "Always, always lonesome." "Adriana!" "Go inside!" "Anyway, you can be sure about Tuesday." "Even if I cannot come, I'll send you 200 lire." "Alright?" "Goodbye!" "Goodbye!" "How mean you are!" "What have you done to yourself?" "Go wash, now!" "How did you manage to get dirty like that?" "Good morning!" "How are you?" " Fine." "What's the matter?" "Nothing." "So, got the money?" "No." "Don't get mad." "He said on Tuesday." " Tuesday?" "What will I do tomorrow?" "I told you to wash your hands!" "Always the same old story!" "Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow," "Tuesday..." " Listen!" " What?" "I'm fed up with you!" " Why are you like that?" "You're such a fool!" "You can't even get a penny!" "I'm off!" "Let me go!" "Bye!" "... and always display the correct behaviour, in complete observance of the religious and moral principles." "Very well." "The headmistress will be like a mother to you." "Indeed!" "Like a mother." "Hurry up, Miss!" "If you wish to say something else to the girl." "Adriana, will you always be good and obedient?" "Never forget what's been done and what will be done for you." "Here we are, taking care of your education and your future." "Future, what a dismay when I think of it!" "You, Adriana, you'll find someone who will love you." "You're so pretty." "Don't say that." "You, too..." "Here they are!" "Come here!" "They're kissing." "Headmistress!" "Did you see how they were kissing?" "Love must be a wonderful thing." "Such a wonderful thing, life." "Will you always love me?" "Yes, always." "Will you always love me?" "I will!" "It's just..." "I don't know how she will feel about it later." "You did your best, dear." "Anyway, she got it alright." "She was rather calm." "She didn't cry?" "In such cases, all women cry." "Forget about it." "If you want, we'll find her a job." "Okay." "But, she mustn't find out I'm behind all this." "Don't you worry." "Just think that tomorrow, you'll be at ease." "Fancy a ticket?" "Thanks, ma'am." "And you, Mrs Clerici, you'll surely take one." " With pleasure!" "A benefit concert, tomorrow evening." "Here you are." "Your change?" " Please!" "You're so kind." " I love children." "Watch out for the sunlight!" "Come on!" "Chin up." "Be brave!" "Give it here, it's late." "You're leaving?" " Yes, ma'am." " I'll bring some coffee." "Mom, when will buy me the gloves?" "Tonight." "But, you must be nice, okay?" "She's always nice." "What a hurry!" "They won't eat you if you arrive a bit late." "It's best not to be criticized in a new workplace." "Out of consideration for Mr. Fabbrini who got me a job." "You still see him?" "Every night, doing the bookkeeping, after his work at Romolo's." "But, you're happy now?" "Well, yes." "I'd been at Romolo's for quite a while, but I earn more at Oscar's." " That's the main thing." "Exactly, the main thing." "Time goes by faster at Oscar's." "Because of all that bustle." "The ladies fighting over him." ""Oscar, come here!" "Oscar, go there!"" "Wonderful!" "Thank you, ladies." "Well done!" "Truly one of a kind!" "Let me see, Oscar!" "No, you need something totally different." "Goodbye." "Madam, take this to number 13." "Good evening, ladies!" "Always more pretty!" "Gaby!" "How are you?" "Good evening." "Where's Oscar?" "Mr. Oscar... is over there, madam." "He's never ready to receive his patrons." "You stay here." " Yes, darling." "Hi, girls!" "Sit down... and wait for me." "Saw that?" "A nice girl." "Wasn't she once a manicure girl?" " She got promoted." "What does she do now?" " A patron." "Gosh!" "Good evening." "I'm not kidding at all!" "I'm not like other ladies." "Of course not!" "Lucky her!" "She's got a young, rich... and handsome lover." "I know all my patrons." " Really?" "René, come here." "Your excellency!" "Bye, Oscar!" " So?" "For a loyal habitué, I'll do everything I can." "This way, please." "To the accountant's." "Hello, Mr. Fabbrini." "Hello, Miss." "You're late tonight." " There was some bungle with the bills at Romolo's." "By the way, what is it like here?" "Very nice, sir." "And... have you fitted in?" "Have you made some friends yet?" "I'm always alone in my corner." "Better that way." "Here are the invoices." "Why tonight when I'm in a hurry?" "You have a date?" "I do." " That's why you look so smart." "Is she pretty?" " She's my sister." "I'm sorry." " Not at all!" "Goodbye, sir." " Already leaving?" " It's 8 o'clock." "The perfumery, the Chinese pedicure, and then, a small office." "The massage room." "Figure." "Sculpture." "The living plastic." "Phidias." "Canova." "Sorry, Mr. Oscar." "I've got an urgent appointment." "May I leave a bit earlier?" "Please do." "Hello?" "Weren't you in a hurry?" " And how!" "May I, sir?" " Please do." "Good evening, sir." " Good evening." "Fancy a cigarette?" "A light." " Right away!" "It's you." "After you." "May I present my sister?" "Miss Adriana Rosé." "Nice to meet you." "My brother has often mentioned you to me." "Going this way?" " Yes." " We'll go with you." "We're going to the cinema with my sister's fiancé." "You're engaged?" " Yes, I am." "My sister is crazy about movies." "Actually, she likes to watch them with her fiancé." "Mario!" "What can I do?" "I stay there, alone, by myself, while they're chatting, laughing, and I almost always end up falling asleep!" "Why don't you come along?" " No, I can't." "Why not?" "Come with us!" " No, it's getting late." "I've some errands to do." "I must hurry up." "Goodbye, Miss." " Goodbye." "Will we meet again?" " With pleasure." "See you tomorrow, sir." " See you tomorrow, Miss." "She's rather pretty." " Yes." "Yes, she is." "You should see her at the store." "Always attentive, serious, and skilful." " Really?" "Yes." "A bit smaller." "She's 5-years-old." "Come on, Clelia!" "What are you thinking?" "Very well!" "You're good at it." "You can't do it." "It's not so easy." " Let me try." "Have fun." "You'll see it's not that easy." "No use." "Only Varchi can do that." "He won the San Remo Championship." " He won it because I wasn't there." "Where did Varchi go?" " To phone." "He's phoning Sonia Krauss." "It's amazing how he took this engagement seriously." "You can take 15 million lire seriously." "It's hot!" "Too hot!" " No, Miss." "Just an impression." "Meanwhile, I'm burning!" "What shall we tell him?" " Let's meet up at Magesti's." "He must come here." " Sonia's right." "Would you be so kind as to tell him that we're waiting for him?" " Alright." "Tell him to come at once." " Very well, Miss." "My fair lady!" "How do you do?" "And your husband?" "Hush!" "Miss Adriana!" "Excuse me." "Go answer the phone." "Tell that gentleman that Miss Krauss is waiting for him here and to come at once." " Very well, Mr. Oscar." "Hello?" "Miss Krauss told you to come for her." "Be quick!" "Yes, quick." "That too?" "Okay, Giorgina." "Sorry?" "You're not Georgina?" "Then, who are you?" "Irma?" "Then, who?" "Wanda?" "A new girl." "Blonde or brunette?" "You won't tell me?" "By your voice, you must be a blonde." "Brunette?" "I guessed right?" "You're not talking to your fiancée." " Shut up!" "Are you... pretty or ugly?" "I've things to do." "Goodbye!" "What a way to behave!" "Fine." "You might like her." " She's ugly." " How do you know?" "When a woman answers rudely on the phone, then, she must be ugly." "Hold still, it's almost done." "I can't stand it anymore!" "Go ahead!" "Such a boor!" "What time is it?" " 7 o'clock." " Already?" "Two hours of suffering." "Two hours of suffering, but a perm which will last for two years." "You're exaggerating as usual!" "Here you are, Miss." " Let's see." "Let me check." "I recommend this." "It's much better." "Delightful!" " Really?" "Alright, then." "I'll take this one." "Wrap it up!" "Done!" " Finally!" "Here you are, Miss." " Please, put it in my purse." "Mr. Varchi!" "Hello, dear!" "How are you?" " Fine." "Where have you been?" "I had tea with Giorgio." " Just Giorgio?" "I mean, there was Titti, Miss Monti and the little d'Arco." "Isabella?" "She's so pretty." " A darling." "I don't like her at all." "Besides, you're always late." "Late?" "No, darling." "I have to wait for you, as usual." "Too soon." " Too late." "You've got to be in at the time of the application removal." "A beautiful woman's head looks more dazzling than a rising sun." "I don't speak Italian well?" "Oscar, we've salesgirls who answer rudely on the phone." "Really?" "I'm surprised at you!" "You were rude to one of my patrons." "It mustn't happen again!" "Did you understand?" "Never again!" "Alright, sir." "It was nothing." "I was only joking." "You've been mean!" "When it comes to kindness, I'm intransigent!" "They're calling me." "One needs to be polite to my patrons." "Very polite." "Diego is always the same." " It's my fault now?" "You shouldn't have let that girl be scolded." "Are we going to talk about her forever?" "It's done, Miss." " Thank goodness!" "What do you think, Vera?" " You look great." "Diego, have a look." " Very nice." "I'll be right back." "What's the matter, Miss Adriana?" " I'm sorry, but..." "I can't find some invoices." "I'll find them for you." "I might be wrong." "I must..." "have left them in my office." "What did Oscar want from you?" " Nothing." "Who's that gentleman?" "I don't know." "There he is!" "Diego, I'm ready." "Let's go." "Where have you been?" " In the perfumery." "I'm leaving." "I wanted to tell you that some friends will pay us a visit soon." "For my sister's engagement." "My mother would be so happy if you came, too." "A small family gathering." "Will you come?" "No!" "I assure you." "In 1900, during the Paris exposition, everyone was wearing a boater." "I also saw the photograph." "I remember it well." "So?" "He was indeed wearing a boater." "I told you!" "When I say something, I'm always right." "Let's see." "Thirty years ago..." "Poor Enrico." "Come on, dear madam." "No need to be sad." "Tonight, we ought to be cheerful!" "For them." " You're right." "How funny they were!" " Funny?" "Fashions come and go." "It's the time that goes by, sir." ""Tout passe, tout casse, tout lasse!"" " What?" "This is Cinzia." "This one is Mario." "A prizewinner, too." "Please, Mom!" "He was always top of the class." "It's ridiculous!" " Let her finish." "No use." "I want to see Mario." "May I, Miss?" "Mommy's sweetheart!" "Wait!" "Here!" "Here!" "Here!" "You don't mean to boycott the products of the Meregalli Company" "Limited?" "Or else, I won't grant you a pay raise." "And for you, Miss, sitting next to him, a double entry, of course." "Listen to it." "Music for the occasion." "The music of love, lyrics of love, all for love." "Please, be quiet!" "Such music!" "Such sweetness!" "Nothing sweeter than the products of the Meregalli Company Ltd." "Would you like some?" "For you and the others." "Advertising is the essence of business." "Every opportunity is a good one." "Look here." "This one is called "love kiss"." "It's for you." "Come on, officer!" "Enough sitting at the table!" "Hop!" "Music!" "Please, easy does it!" "That's right!" "Madam!" "Shall we dance a little?" "No, Mr. Meregalli." "Let the young dance." "Some youth!" "Look, everyone's standing still." "Let's go!" "May I?" "That's right!" "Dancing has always been my passion." "Look!" "May I offer you...?" "No, thanks." " Meregalli Company!" "They're excellent!" "I'm giving her back to you." "Clelia!" "Clelia!" "Come help me." "Drinks?" "Let me have a drink." "Delicious!" "Would you like to sit?" "You must be tired." "Mr. Meregalli made you dance." "No, I feel hot." "I could open the window." " It's cold outside." "I'll go fetch a cloak." " No, thanks." " How silly of me!" "Did you get bored?" " Far from it!" "My sister is so happy tonight." "I think so." " Me, too." "If you don't mind, let's have the next dance." "What time is it?" "10:15." " I have to go!" "It's late." "I totally forgot." "Time went by so fast in your house..." "You're already leaving?" "I'd gladly stay, but I have to go." "I don't want to bother anyone." "This way." "Already leaving, Miss?" " I have to." "Don't bother anyone, please." "The lady is leaving." " So soon?" "It's late." "I've some commitment." "Pardon me." "Before you leave, would you like a keepsake from Meregalli Company Ltd?" "Thanks, but I've got many." " You surely have a brother or a sister." "You don't?" "Then, these are for you." "Here, for you." "Come round, Miss." " I will." "Good night." "The main door must be locked." "Go with her, Mario." "He sure will!" "Music for the occasion!" "The same record." "Love, love, always love!" "What a nuisance!" " He's funny." "I'm sorry that you didn't stay a bit longer." "I really couldn't." "Pardon me." "I may seem indiscreet to you." "Is there someone waiting for you?" "No." " Nobody?" "I, too, have lived that way, lonesome, for a long time..." "You can't..." "You can't, I assure you..." "And... when I realized what it meant to feel the presence of another being," "then..." "I can't make myself clear." "But, you..." "Confetti from the Meregalli Company Limited." "Good night!" "Best wishes!" "To hell with high spirits!" " Sorry?" "Nothing." "Mr. Meregalli's cheerful." "I've been dreaming of being able to talk to you for quite a while and now that we're alone together, like this..." "Forgive me, Miss Adriana, even if I say something that might upset you." "But, please, let me talk." "Don't interrupt me." "Good evening, sir." "There's a party at your place tonight." "Miss Clelia will make a lovely bride." "Sorry?" "I said yes." " Exactly what I was saying." "Please!" "She's pretty." "Very!" "A cigarette?" " No, thanks." " Miss?" " She doesn't smoke." "What a lovely night!" "One of those nights..." " Good night." "So, good night." "You know..." "I wanted to..." "There!" "Ever since you came to work at Romolo's, so pretty, so serious," "I immediately thought of you with with such" "admiration." "You're too kind, Fabbrini." "Oh, me..." "I..." "I only want you to consider me worthy of you." "You, being so kind, so gentle, and, at the same time, so resolute in the face of life." "Miss Adriana," "will you be my wife?" "Impossible." "She's asleep." "Yes, but there's a gentleman..." " A gentleman?" " Yes." "You... here!" " Yes, Adriana." "I've come to apologize." "Apologize for what?" "For having told Oscar that you'd been rude on the phone." "No consequences, I hope." "Just as well." "I'm happy because" "I would be sorry to do you harm, unintentionally." "Thank you." " I'm here because of that." "But, also to..." "You see, Adriana," "I know what you may think of me as I fully recognize all of my mistakes." "But, when I saw you the other day, after so long a time, so beautiful, even more beautiful, you can't imagine what I..." "I'm so full of remorse." "Don't laugh." "I'm being sincere, I swear!" "You see, 3 years ago, when I..." " Five years ago." "Right, 5 years ago." "In short, I was young, you understand?" "I couldn't lead my life." "You know well, my family..." "Now, things have changed." "Yes, I'm getting married." "But only to settle down." "I'll still be free." "Much freer than before." "We could resume our life, together." "You and me." "Like before." "You see, I haven't changed." "I don't want you to live this miserable life, this working, sacrificing life." "I've decided to make a better life for you." "A more decent one." "Anything more to tell me?" "No, Adriana." "It's simple!" "Don't you understand?" "We'll start a new life together." "Get out!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Get out!" "Go away!" "You're wrong, Adriana." "You'll change your mind." "He didn't even ask after the girl." "Half past four, and not one patron all day long." "Mr. Fabbrini, can you tell me what's going on in here?" "Why are you always complaining?" "You're earning." "The last month, too, a 13,000 lire profit." "What are you saying?" ""Oscar, coiffure pour dames"!" "Do I perhaps look like a ladies' hairdresser?" "You're right: you're losing." "A lot!" " I know!" "10,000 lire.." " Please, stop bothering me!" "No trouble at all." "Can you tell me whatever were you thinking of?" "Why?" "I'm fine." "Why are you saying that?" "There's something going on." "The French say: cherchez la femme." "God forbid!" " How's Miss Adriana?" "What's on your mind?" " She's pretty." "I don't feel well." "If you don't mind, I'd like to go home." "Certainly." "You need to look after yourself." "You forgot to take all these books." "Don't you see?" "Excuse me." "It's because..." "Goodbye!" "May I help you?" "Wake up!" "I'm sorry, sir, but the dancing stretched over far into the night." "Good day!" "I came to see your mother." "I wanted to thank her for last night." "My little girl." "Have a good day." "Goodbye." "Is that you, Mario?" "Yes." "So soon?" "Hello, Mom." " Hello, dear." "You know, I've had a visitor." "I know." "You ran into her?" "That little girl is pretty." "Yes, she is." "I've spent three sleepless nights to create this vision." "Have a look!" "It's classical and modern." "Mr. Oscar, Mrs Vanni has made an appointment for tomorrow." "Has she paid the previous bill?" " Yes." " Alright, then." "Notice this band of hair, surrounding the forehead." "Mr. Oscar, a personal call for you." "I want it done by tomorrow." "It's the madwoman." "Give it to the accountant." "Giulietta, come here!" "Come in!" "Here you are, sir." "Sorry, Miss..." "Are you in charge of invoices instead of Miss Adriana?" "No, sir." "She was busy and she asked me to take them to you." "Good evening, Mr. Varchi." "So, where is it?" " This way, please." "Miss Krauss doesn't entertain." "Yes, I know." "Thank you." "Miss Krauss is not here." " I know." "Miss Zanicchi is at number 13." "Miss Titti..." "You again!" " What?" "You're not kind." "Do I scare you?" "I want to talk to you." "The other night, I couldn't explain myself." "It wasn't a suitable place." "Let me go!" " Stay!" "The other night, I wasn't insisting." " You did well." "You thought it over, right?" "You understood?" " I got it alright." "So?" " So, what?" "I'm waiting." "What did you decide?" " Nothing!" "I don't love you anymore!" "You're crazy!" "After all that happened between us." "We're through!" " What do you mean?" "And our son?" "You don't even know it's a girl." "I got it." "There's more, then?" "There's someone else in your life." " Even if there were..." "A lover?" " You idiot!" "So, it's serious?" "Getting married?" "Married?" "And you're telling me that." "You created a void around me." "You knew I was lonely and you left me even lonelier than before!" "What do you want from me?" "Leave me alone!" "I live on my own work." "Got it?" "For my daughter, alone with her!" "I'm happy, got it?" "What do you want?" "You were listening?" "So, you heard...?" "Everything." "So..." "Anyway, between us, men, it's best to know things sooner than later." "Do you suppose I can get into a fist fight here?" "You can't." "But, I can!" "Bastard!" "What happened?" "Lift him up!" "Take him away." "Where're you going?" "Close the doors!" "You..." "Go away!" "You're crazy!" "How could you do such a thing?" "Get out, now!" " I'm leaving." "Come with me." "Whatever happened to the accountant?" "I don't know what came over me." "Forgive me." "I made you lose your job." "I'll find you another one." "Actually..." "Well, then..." "We'll see." "We'll see." "It's all... my fault." " Not at all!" "You're not to blame." "It was bound to happen." "I'm glad it happened." "So glad!" "Are you cold?" "Don't cry." "If you wish, we could dine together," "at my place." "I can't..." " Yes!" "Yes, I understand." "We could go pick up your girl." "My mother would be so happy." "Even since she saw you, she's been talking about you." "Besides, my sister's getting married." "She's leaving." "We'll be alone, my mother and I." "So, shall we go pick up the girl?"
