"And after we had heard the sad news." "The story went I was killed, but thanks to Heaven, I was only wounded." "Sir, I was told that you" "No, not you, but signor Rasponi, That you were dead!" "He was dead." "And if you can't prove that you..." "Than I shall..." "I fully understand your qualms." "Allow me to present these letters from your agents In Turin and from your own banker..." "Open them, read, recognize the Signature and rest assured that me is me." "Ah, Brighella!" "Why, Good Sir, don't I know you?" "It was a while." "May be you remember me?" "We met in Turin." "I am Brighella?" "Yes, of course!" "I do recognize you." "Whatever brings you to Venice, my good and loyal friend?" " Don't spill the beans!" " Your secret's safe." " Why, I run an inn, sir, in the town." " Why, what a lucky coincidence:" "I'll take a room at once!" "Here... signor." "These letters introduce the person who carries them as Signor Federigo Rasponi of Turin." "To disperse the last remnants of doubt signor Brighella can attest that I am Rasponi." " 10 gold coins." " I can..." "I can attest." "That is true!" "True." "Well, if these letters and Brighella too say that..." "Please forgive me my doubts Signor Rasponi." " Please forgive me." " It doesn't matter." "Quiet!" " Father, you mean he really is Federigo?" " Looks that way." "He is alive!" "Oh God!" "What shall I do?" "Well, what do you say, my former matchmaker?" "He is just on time." "Very smart!" "Sic transit Gloria (Thus passes earthly glory)." "What the hell is he doing here." "You'll be mine!" "I'll save you!" "Signor Silvio, signor Silvio, I beg you, calm down!" " Calm down!" " Forward!" "Forward, forward!" " Who is this signora?" " This is my daughter." " The one I'm engaged to?" " Yes, sir; the one you're engaged to." " My regards, signora." " Very glad." " The welcome is on the frosty side." " Forgive her." "She takes after me, she's very shy." "And who is this?" "Your relative?" "Yes, yes." "Of course, my relative." "My nephew." "No, not your nephew." " I am the fiance of this signora." " Yes!" "What?" "You are engaged to Signora Clarice?" "That is strange." "She was promised to me." " Let me explain it all to you." " It's that way." "Believe me, dear signor." "We thought That a terrible misfortune befell you." "And since you are not alive there can be no marriage." "That is why I had the right to promise My daughter's hand to this signor." " Yes!" "You can't blame me." "As for you, you are on time and Haven't lost anything as yet." "Clarice is yours, if you wish, I am a man of my word." "But I doubt that signor would like To take as his wife" "A signora who has given her vow to another man." " Yes!" "Don't worry, I am not too scrupulous." "I hope signora Clarice won't Reject me?" "Too late!" "Signora must belong to me!" "In case you wish to fight for her Let a duel decide who gets her!" "Just look at him!" "He'd rather die than give her up!" "Dearest signor, you are a little late." "My son must get married to the signora." "The law is clear on that point." "Do you happen to know "Dura lex sec lex" (A severe law is still law)" " What?" " Whoever is first is right." "Why are you silent, signora?" "I can only say that your arrival Is my misfortune!" "What?" "How dare you be so rude To signor?" " Signor, wait." "Don't be too strict on her." "I know For sure I'll win her over." "For now let's go and take care of the business That was the reason for my coming here." "My balance is in order." "Please." "Diabolo." "Get out of the way!" "Everybody!" "Or my dagger" "Shall make each of you tremble!" " Oh God, who could help us?" "Get him!" "Tie him up!" "Not me, him." "Diabolo!" "Please, let us go home." "He is out of his mind." "He is so shaken!" "His bride was given over to another man." "In his grief he seeks death." "So if I get it right Your son is cuckolded?" "Horns are blowing!" "Damn Rasponi!" "Bravo, Rasponi!" "A smart guy!" "Rasponi?" "!" "But he is dead!" "Now I remember." "Diabolo!" "Wait!" "Signora Beatrice, good afternoon." "My good Brighella, please don't Disclose my identity." "I am in trouble, I've lost my brother." "I don't know if it was Florindo who killed him, but he is dead." "Can I share a secret with you, Brighella?" "I was in love with Florindo Aretusi." "There was a longstanding animosity between him" "And my poor Federigo." "Not long ago there was a quarrel" "I don't know the details yet, but my brother was killed in a bloody duel." "While in fear of trial my beloved fled Without saying farewell to me." "Believe me, my good Brighella" "There's no bringing back my brother anyway And I just can't lose Florindo." "Now you see what love is capable of." "Pray, my good Brighella, don't refuse To help me." "You've always liked to act strangely, signora." "But I'll gladly serve you!" " And I'll be damned if I let your secret be known." " Thank you." "I am sick and tired of waiting." "I'll grow pretty thin with a master like this." "The clock has just stuck 12." "But my stomach tells me it's long past midday." "At least two hours past midday, no less." "I wish I knew where we are heading." "A good fellow on hitting town finds An inn and a bar first of all." "While my crank never though of that." "Very well!" "He went off to pay visits!" "We are told: "Serve your master with love" And what about having some pity on servants?" "What actually do I want from him?" "Feed me and don't make me work too much." "It would be nice to switch places With my master." "He would be the servant and me the master." "Doing business and having a nice time" "I shall always remember my servant" "I won't send him on various errands" "First I'll tell him:" ""Have breakfast, Rasponi"" "Let there be war, duel, Plague, love, fire or any other misfortune" "I'll never forget the essential thing" "I'll not forget to say to my servant:" ""Have dinner, my friend!"" "My house will be like heaven to him" "He won't want another master." "Years will pas and on my deathbed" "I'll say to him "Farewell." "Go" "Farewell, ...go to have supper"" "By God I can't go any further;" "the weight's killing me." "Yonder's the inn!" "Onward, man, it's just three more steps." "Can't you do that?" "I can, but no more than three." "Oh no, help!" "I'm going to fall down." " Why then did you take the job?" "You wretched thing." " Oh, sir?" "May I be of assistance?" "Oh, yes." "Do please, Carry this trunk." "Right." "Give it to me." "That's it." "Weakling!" "Bravo!" "There!" "See?" "That's Good work." "Each labors to the best of his ability." "He is stronger." "Signor, the trunk is already there!" "Thanks." "What about the inn?" "A good place, sir." "Soft beds, clean glasses, and the kitchen!" "Such a smell - what they call "a comfort smell." I had a word with the waiter." "He is very polite." " And what do you do?" " I'm a servant." " From here in Venice?" " Oh no." "I started out in Bergamo." "Saint-Bergamo." " Say, do you have a master now?" " Now?" "Now?" "You know..." "Now?" "To tell you the truth, at the moment I don't." " What do you say if I hire you to be my servant?" " Your servant!" "Why not?" "How much?" " How much do you want?" " I'll be honest:" "My last master gave me 12 lires a month and all I could eat." "I can manage that." " You could pay a bit more." " How much more?" " A couple lires and other expenses." " What expenses?" "Well, sometimes I have to run errands." "Something and other." "All right, for something and the other." "So be it." "I am yours to command." " I want to make some inquiries about you." " Oh, inquiries?" "That is easy." "You only have to go to my beloved Bergamo" "There everyone knows Truffaldino." "All right." "You seem trustworthy to me." "I hire you." " Shall we try?" " We shall, sir." "Your first errand will be to go to the post office and inquire if there are any letters for" "Florindo Aretusi from Turin and if there are bring them here." "And you'll order dinner, sir?" "Excellent." "Bravo!" "Funny fellow." "What a servant!" "Where have you been?" " I've been waiting for you, sir!" " Then why are you here when I told you to wait there?" "I went for a stroll to see the town." "Well, stroll to the docks and get my trunk." "Here's the receipt" "Take it to the inn of Master Brighella" " The inn is right here." "Do you understand?" " Be quick about it." "I'll be waiting at the office." "Wait!" "Also go to the post office and see if there are any letters for signores Rasponi." "For Beatrice and Federico." "My sister was to come with me but was held back." "But letters may still be there." "So you ask for letters to her and to me." "So you ask for letters to her..." " The sister must be coming" " Yes." "Well, well." "What shall I do?" "A scandal is inevitable." "No one as yet managed to serve Two masters at the same time." " But I shall manage." " He is like that." " I am stubborn." " He is like that." " I am Truffaldino of Bergamo!" "I am like that!" " He is Truffaldino of Bergamo!" "I'll have to move faster and be smarter to serve two masters" "But I'll be paid double And fed double." " But I shall manage." " He is like that." " I am stubborn." " He is like that." " I am Truffaldino of Bergamo!" "I am like that!" " He is Truffaldino of Bergamo!" " But I shall manage." " He is like that." " I am stubborn." " He is like that." " I am Truffaldino of Bergamo!" "I am like that!" " He is Truffaldino of Bergamo!" "Fight bravely!" "Never turn back!" "Where is the enemy?" "Don't fear!" "Come out!" "Here is my dagger!" "Blood!" "Death!" "Dust!" "Earth!" "Never retreat." "That's my tradition." "I will never concede my bride to anyone." "The guy from Turin will have to give up Clarice" "Or I'll... or I'll Or I'll pierce him with a..." "I'll pierce him with a spear." "Or I'll pierce him with a spear." " I say, my friend." " Yes sir?" " Where is your master?" " That depends." " Could you ask him to come down?" " I won't be a minute." " I am waiting!" " Whom are you waiting for?" "And I am not going to..." "I am no going to wait long." "I wonder which one shall I call?" "I don't care that he is risen from the dead!" "I'll fight for Clarice till my last breath!" "Let him get the hell out of my way!" "Or I..." "Or I..." "Or I'll send him..." "I'll send him to his forefathers." " Diabolo!" " Or I'll send him to his forefathers." "Here is this very bellicose signor." " I don't know him." "What is it he wants?" " He never told me." "I am going to collect our letters and I have no business meddling in your affairs." "Damn." "You wanted to see me, signor?" " Sorry, I don't know you." " The servant, who just left told me that a man with a bellicose manner wanted to see me." "I am so sorry." "Must've been a misunder- standing." "I wanted a word with his master." "Well, that's me." "I'm his master." " You are his master?" " Of course." "He serves me." "Then I beg your pardon, but either your servant is identical to the one I saw this morning, or he is servant to another master as well." "No, I'm his master, I swear." "If that's so, I..." "beg your pardon once again." "That's all right." "Mistakes happen." "Are you by any chance a stranger to this city?" "I am from Turin." "Funny." "The man I wanted to see is from Turin as well." "I may know him." "If he has insulted you," "I shall gladly help you obtain satisfaction." " Do you know Rasponi from Turin?" " Ah!" "I knew him only too well." "I have a score to settle with him!" "He makes a claim of matrimony, based on the father's promise, to the fair lady I love, whom this very morn' swore to be my wife!" "Rest easy, friend, he cannot steal away your bride." " The man Rasponi... is dead." " No, the news was not true." "This morning he showed up in here." "His arrival spelt misery for me." "He came here?" "That can't be." "I am staggered!" " And so am I." " I assure you, Rasponi is dead." " Signor, he is alive." "I give you my word." " You are mistaken, believe me." "Signor Pantalone, my bride's father, has made every inquiry." "He has incontestable proof that Rasponi is alive." " It means he was not killed in the duel?" " I don't care if he was killed or not." "He must give up any claim on Clarice!" "When you see him, signor, tell him" "That he must abandon all hope For this marriage." "My warmest regards from me Silvio Lombardi." "I don't know how he managed to survive." "I saw his body stabbed through and through." "He lay on the ground and didn't breathe." "His soul apparently left the body." "But if miracles still happen" "Then thank heaven!" "I'll go to Turin immediately as fast As my steed can speed!" "I'll go to my beloved Beatrice!" "Oh, Beatrice!" "I am happy again." "I await our reunion!" "I want to drink your breath with my lips," "Oh Beatrice, my love!" "Oh Beatrice, my love!" "Go back, my friend and wait over there." "Over the corner." "I'll call you." " So here you are!" " Here I am, signor." " Will you go with me?" " Where to?" " To Turin, immediately." " When?" " Immediately!" " Right off?" "Without having dinner?" " We can have dinner." "Agreed?" " I'll decide by the end of dinner, signor." " Have you been to the post office?" " Yes." " Found any letters?" " I did." " Where are they, then?" " I'll find them in a minute." " What is taking so long, give them to me." " Just a moment." "I must confess, sir:" "Not all letters are yours." "I met this servant I used to know in Bergamo" "And when he heard I was going to the post office, he asked me to take his master's letters as well." "I believe one is for you, the other for him But I don't know which is which." " Give them to me." "I'll find mine." " Here." "I wanted to do a friend a good turn." " A letter for Beatrice?" "!" "Is she in Venice?" " That must be my friend's letter." " Who is your friend?" "Who is his master?" " His name is Pasquale, a good chap." " Who is his master?" " I don't know, sir." "But if he told you to pick up his master's letters, he must have told you his name." "Of course he did." "I don't recall." " You don't?" " I don't." "I swear to God!" " He wrote it on a piece of paper" " So where is the paper?" " I left it at the post office." " What a day, Madonna." " Do you know where Pasquale lives?" " Signor, I honestly don't know." "But how are you going to hand him the letter?" "We made an appointment to meet in the square." "Give me the letter, signor." " I'll open the letter" " God forbid!" "It's a sin." "I know." "Well, well, well." "That's it." "My regards, signora." "Your departure from this city has given rise to much talk." "All the town now knows that you have gone to join Signor Aretusi." "As soon as the Authorities have discovered that you fled dressed as a man - this is also known - they issued an order for your arrest." "Truffaldino, find this servant Pasquale, And find out who his master is, find out if his master is a man or a woman, find out where he stays, and if you bring the fellow here you'll both get a finder's fee." "I'll try." "How can I give him the letter open like this?" "Tell him it was by mistake." " It means we are not going to Turin now?" " I'll wait, but hurry up." "What a smart guy!" "Almost a genius!" "Porter!" "Here quick!" "Take the trunk." " Where shall I take it?" " To the inn." " Who'll tip me?" " Did you get it?" "We agreed on 30 soldi." " So be it 30." " What people!" " Have you been to the post office?" " Of course." " Any letters?" " There's one, but not for you." " For whom then?" " For your sister." " Give it to me." " Here." " But it's been opened!" " That's impossible!" "No way!" "When?" "By whom?" " Yes." "I have no idea how it could happen." "You have no idea?" "You scoundrel, arrogant swindler!" "All right!" "I'll tell you the truth." "Any one can make mistakes." "There was a letter for me at the post office." "But I am not good at reading" "So I opened yours by mistake." " If that's so, it's all right." " Of course it's so." "You may be quite sure." " Did you read it?" " Oh, no, signor." "Besides the handwriting is almost illegible." " Did anybody see it?" " God forbid!" "Certainly not!" " I'll get you." " God forbid!" "God forbid!" "I have some things to do." "Go to the inn, here are the keys" "Open the trunk, air all the clothes." "When I come back we'll have dinner." "I am a success again." " Where's your master?" " He is gone." "Any idea where to?" "Will he be back soon?" "Well, I suppose he will." "Give 100 dukats to the signor As I promised." "I'll call on him later." "Wait!" "He didn't tell which master Shall receive the money." " So?" "Did you find Pasquale?" " Alas, signor, I couldn't find him." "But I ran into a bum who gave me 100 dukats." "What?" "A hundred ducats?" "Why?" "Tell me signor in all honesty that you do not expect to be getting any money." "Yes, I am." "A certain sum of money Must arrive." "Meaning these hundred ducats are yours?" " What did the man who brought the money say?" " Well..." "He said to give it to my master." "So the money is for me!" "Am I not your master?" "That's so." "Master you are." " Do find Pasquale." " Only after dinner." " Well then, hurry to hurry up dinner." " Yes." "This time I didn't make a mistake either." "I handed the money to the necessary master." "Exactly to the one who was to have it." "Have you forgotten me My long awaited happiness?" "Or is it taking you so long To get to me?" "My beloved is not with me My darling is not with me" "Love has a lot of dark moments And very few bright days." "I am tired of waiting for happiness And still he is not here" "There is so little time left to live I am seventeen already!" "It's not easy to love When he is not nearby." "The anxiety grows stronger And stronger." "When will my most cherished Wish come true?" "Love has a lot of dark moments And very few bright days." "I am tired of waiting for happiness And still he is not here" "There is so little time left to live I am seventeen already!" "There is so little time left to live I am seventeen!" "No more arguing!" "You'll marry signor Federigo!" "I gave him my word and I'll keep it!" "Father, do as you wish But this is" "Tyranny." " Shut up, girl!" " You never rejected Federigo." " Only out of respect for you." "Nice respect!" "Calling me a tyrant!" "Now tell me, what do you find so disgusting about him?" "Can't you understand?" "I love Silvio." "Silvio... that sniveler!" "That can't be helped, my daughter." "Just make an effort." "I won't survive." "I can feel it." "Take heart, my darling, it can't be helped." "Signor, signor Rasponi is here." "Show him in." " My greetings, signor Pantalone." " You servant, sir." " Did you receive the hundred ducats that I sent to you." " No." "I gave the money to your servant." "You said he was honest." "I must have missed him." "Not to worry, he'll give me the money when I get back to the inn." "What's with signora Clarice?" "Is she crying?" "Why?" "Believe me, dear sir, It's only because it was rumored that you were dead." "But I am sure time will Heal the wound." " Let's go this way about it." " Yes?" "Do me a favor:" "Leave us alone." "I'll see if I can make her smile." "Certainly, sir." "Sweetheart." "Now entertain your fiance." "Be smart and play nice for Goodness sake." "He is my trustee, we have joint business I wouldn't like to make him angry." "At last we are alone." "Leave me alone." "You are disgusting to me!" "Don't be so strict with me Will you." "Marriage to you means my death." "When you come to know me closer You'll be more polite with me." "I know you enough, sir." "You are here to disturb my peace."

"There is no way we can return to Turin now." "We both will be arrested immediately." "My dear, no more sad thoughts." "You are alive, we are together!" "We'll think of something." "So, for now here is one of them." "Take him." "We'll go and look for the other." " We mast have them both." " Where is the other?" " I don't know." "Probably in the kitchen." " Let's go look for him." "Let me say something to you." "I'll tell you the whole truth!" "I've got absolutely nothing to do with it all." "It's all Pasquale's fault." "Their servant's." "While I was out he mixed up the trunks And begged me to save him." "I'll do anything for a friend." "So I lied to get Pasquale out of trouble." "I never thought you would get so upset Learning that some other person was dead." "That's it." "I swear to God." " You mean Pasquale is signora's servant?" " Exactly." " Why did you not say so?" " He begged me not to tell you." " Pasquale?" " Yes." " And you dared hide it from me?" " Believe me, it was out of pure love for Pasquale!" "You both should be thrashed!" "The long interrogation is not yet over?" " I know all the details now." " I beg you, please save Pasquale!" "If you wish, do punish me, but me alone." "Don't harm Pasquale." " Do you love Pasquale so?" " Very much!" "I love him like a brother, like a father!" "Now I'll tell signora that it all was my fault, that I am to blame." "Let her punish me!" "Let her beat me up, but I'll save Pasquale." "He is a kind guy." "Signorina" " What have you been telling this signor so long?" " I'll explain everything to you signorina." "This signor has got a servant." "His name is Pasquale." "He is a unique fool A real blockhead!" "He mixed up the things in both trunks And feared that he would be sacked" "So he asked me to think of something." "I invented the story about this book" "About my master drowning." "I tried to take the blame upon myself." "Right now I told that signor That it all was my fault!" " Why did you take all the blame upon yourself?" " I swear to God only out of love for Pasquale." " I entreat you to forgive him." " Forgive whom?" "Pasquale." "You are both scoundrels!" "One of us sure is." "Let them be!" "Darling." "They did it all without malice." "They should both be punished, But we are so happy, let's forgive them." "Where is he?" "I believe signor will now Pay a visit to signor Pantalone." " So what?" " I have a favour to ask you." " What are you asking, Truffaldino?" " Signor, me too, I am in love." " You're in love?" "Really?" " Absolutely." "She served in Pantalone's house And so I am asking you" " But what has I got to do with it?" " Well, nothing of course but you would do me a great favour if you could talk to signor Pantalone." "Does the girl love you?" "Of course she does." "What else can she do?" "All right, I'll tell him." "O Venice, a fairy town," "You've been built for joy." "You bestow love on all those who are young" "To all those who are in love you give happiness." "Wait!" " I've found you!" " I've found you!" "It's such a nice day!" "There never was a brighter day!" "Give me your hand, signora Clarice." "It's yours forever." "I love me, my Beatrice!" "I love you, Florindo, I do!" "Anybody will enjoy such a sight." "To tell the truth, we are no less beautiful." "I love you endlessly!" "I swear to be always faithful to you!" "Let love never desert your young hot hearts." "No more grief and suffering" "Here is a happy ending." " It looks like everyone is happy now!" " It does." " Not everyone, signor." " What?" " Oh yes." " Exactly." "Forgive me, signor, but I would like To ask you a favour." "I am at your service." "My servant asks your permission To get married to one of your maids." "Oh, another fiance!" "He is cute." "I'd like to get just one glimpse of him." " I have no objections." " Me too." "But what about the girl?" "If I were sure that this marriage will be a success." "What is your servant like?" "He seems to be honest and able." "I was about to marry Smeraldina to Sognora Beatrice's servant." "Surely now I let you do as you like." "Oh in that case I withdraw my proposal." "You candidate seems more appropriate." "On no account!" "Let your proposal be the only one, signor." " I beg you to go on with your arrangements." " I won't." "You are so considerate but I've already made up my mind that my servant won't get married!" "But if yours doesn't get married I won't allow another do it either!" "At least we will be quits." "That's it." "Because of the masters' ceremonies I am not getting any husband at all!" "Let's settle it somehow." "Signors, just look at the young lady." "It's painful to look at her!" " She wants to get married and you just keep talking." " I won't agree to let her have my servant!" "I am of the same opinion concerning mine." "I make the way for your servant." "That's some nice business." "The masters are playing patty-cake, and I'm standing here without a wife!" " Please, go ahead." " Please, do go ahead." " No, you go ahead." " No, you." " No, you go ahead." " Let me..." "Let me say a word." "I'll settle everything." "Signor requested the hand of Smeraldina for his servant?" "Yes, you heard everything with your own ears, Truffaldino!" "And you acted on behalf of signora Beatrice's servant?" "So be it." "Give me your hand, Smeraldina." "What have you got to do with it?" "Everything." "Since I serve both signor and signora." "Both of them." " What a scoundrel!" " What a rogue!" " You mean to say you served us both?" "!" " Well?" "I did." "I won't deny it." "But I seem To have been doing everything well." "If there was some mix-up There never was any evil intention." "Just think how much diligence, industriousness!" "What is it?" "You are having fun." "I got you!" "Clever me!" "I beg your attention and yours madam to hear our verdict!" "This is the end of all of them." "Wait!"
