"Come on, Dani." "I wanna ask him something on the way out." " There he is." " Professor." "Excuse me, but what you were saying about Perugino..." "Don't you think your analysis was a bit too severe?" "Was it?" "In the St. Sebastian in the Louvre, you completely ignore the intensely spiritual aspect of the figure." "Why, it's practically overflowing with holiness." " Is that how it strikes you?" " Yes." "You believe Perugino was capable of that?" "Vasari says he was a person with so little genuine religion he could never make anyone believe in the immortality of the soul." "He presents him as an atheist painting saints and Madonnas." "I'll buy that, Professor, ...although I find it strange that he never painted any blood on the bodies of his martyrs." "He was a painter, not a butcher." "He was a commonsense bourgeois and he liked to show sentimentality without all the melodrama." "You're going a bit too far." "We'll talk about this again." "Well, good-bye." " Good-bye." " Bye." "Dani, can I give you a lift home?" "No." "I'll go with Jane." "Poor Stefano." "You didn't have to be quite so rude to him." "Oh!" "He's hounded me for years." "I can't shake him off." "Just to be near me, he enrolled in the university." "And now summer school." "He's crazy." "Well, you don't find that kind of devotion very much." "Well, I hope not." "Flo, are you coming over this evening?" "I would if I weren't busy." "Ah." "Then good luck." " Bye." " Ciao." "Flo!" "Son of a bitch!" " What's happened?" " That guy was spying on us." "Sean, what do we care if he was?" "Come back, Sean." "Sean, come here!" "Where are you going?" "Sean?" "Sean!" "Sean?" "Sean?" "Where are you?" "Need any more pictures?" "That's enough." "All right, cover the body." "That one's 1,000 lire." "I'll take it." "Are you making a few sales under the counter today, hmm?" "I'm prepared to do a bit of buying too." "That's right." "Junk and castoffs." "They're not in my line." "Thank you, and come again." " Who's he?" " He's a doctor." "Well, at least he seems to have good taste." "Carol!" "Hi." " Ciao, Carol." " Ciao." "Have you seen the paper?" " No." "Why?" " Wait." " You haven't heard?" " No." "What's happened?" " Can I have your paper, Uncle?" " Sure." "Here you are." "I must be going." "Sorry I can't wait for you." "Okay." "Ciao." "She was a friend of yours, wasn't she?" "Dead?" "No!" "No!" "Daniela." "Classes have been canceled for today." "I think that painting's one of the most moving things I've ever seen." "Are you sure you haven't changed your opinion of Perugino?" "I'm not prepared to quite yet, I'm afraid." "No, my dear, I just dropped in by chance." "Sometimes even we professors get bored with books and have to look at the originals to regain our perspective." "Anyway, I'm glad I ran into you." "Chance is the spice of life, or maybe in my case it's necessity." "You're mixing your metaphors." "Variety is the spice of life." " Necessity is the son of invention." " Now you're mixing yours." "Necessity is the mother of invention." "And we're both becoming pedantic." "That's my department." " May I offer you a drink or something?" " Why not?" "But only on condition we don't discuss art aesthetics or the university." "You have the nicest eyes when you haven't got your glasses on." "No, don't." "Please don't make fun of me." "I wouldn't dream of it." "You really surprised me the other day." "I did." "How?" "I would never have imagined that a product of, uh... of American technology could be so... so moved by the works of the old masters." "It's really quite refreshing." "I don't know whether or not to take that as a compliment, but I will." "Just proves that some Americans know how to be less American than other Americans." "Then you didn't come to Italy to buy the Colosseum?" "No, only to study." "I studied painting." "Then I taught for two years in the south." "Then I decided to specialize and applied for a scholarship in Italy." " Do you like music too?" " Of course I do." "I thought you might." "If I should get a couple of invitation tickets to an academy concert, ...you wouldn't mind coming along?" "I'd love to." "In fact, I'll count on it." "Thank you." "There's no need to thank me." "It's been a pleasure." " Good-bye, Franz." " Good-bye, Jane." "I'm sorry, but I don't want to go over all that again." "I told you, Carol." "I won't be able to see you anymore." "Oh, no, you don't." "You're not leaving me." "I never promised you a thing." " I can't face it alone." " Quiet." "That friend of yours is listening." " Next time, handsome." " Ciao, Bella." "Come on, honey." "Take of fall the rest." "I've got another appointment." "What's wrong?" "Oh, I get it." "You want a little persuasion, huh?" "You're cute." "What's the matter?" "If you need something more, I have a mirror and nice movies." "Swedish movies." "Of course it'll cost you a little extra, ...if that's what you want." "Well, that's a real good start." "Why do all the hang-ups come my way?" "Honey, even if you're queer or impotent, ...you're paying the price I charge just the same." "Don't you ever call me that." "Don't you ever say that to me." "I'll kill you, you bitch." "I'll kill you." "I'll kill you." " I'll buy this one." " I'll wrap it." "Carol, where have you been?" "You've been away?" "What happened?" " What's wrong?" "Can't you tell me?" " Nothing." "Nothing." "I have to go." "I have an appointment." " It's very urgent." "I'm sorry." " What's the matter, Carol?" "Bye." "Watch out!" " Ciao, Dani." " Ciao." " No." " Hey, what's the matter?" "First you've got to take your clothes off." "Whatever you say." "Fuck you!" "I'll strangle the bitch!" " Are you hurt?" " What a fall." " Let's not bother with that hooker." "Come on." " I'll kill her!" "Forget it." "Leave her here." "No." "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "What you see on the screen is not a product of expressionist art." "What you have here are fragments of cloth found under the fingernails of one of your companions who was barbarously murdered just one week ago..." "Florence Heineken." "Our scientific analysis leaves no doubt whatsoever." "We have traced these fragments to this foulard which was used to strangle Carol Peterson." "Her body was then mutilated in the same manner as Signorina Heineken's." "I have called you here today for a good reason." "I want you to look at the foulard closely." "If you ever saw one you think is similar on any person you can identify, ...it is your duty to help us by reporting it." "You will not be acting as a police informer but as a civic-minded citizen, ...because I believe you all want this killer to be brought to justice at once." "And I hope, in a case like this at least, you will consider the police for what they are, ...your vigilant defense." "After that you can protest and riot when we're a bit reluctant to let you dismantle the state." "Turn on the lights." "That's all." "Thank you." "Let's cooperate this time." "Daniela, what's wrong?" "Jane, I'm frightened." "Come on." "The inspector's given us all a shock." "But you realize I'm the last person who saw Carol alive?" "How could that be?" "Well, I saw her get on a motorcycle with a couple of boys, Peter and George." "Oh, she was in a terrible state." "It was almost like a kidnapping." "It's your imagination." "Why would they want to kidnap her?" "I don't know." "Anyway, neither of those boys was wearing a red scarf." "You noticed?" "I don't know how it stayed in my mind." "Get in the car." "And yet I'd swear I've seen that scarf on somebody I know." "Jane, please take me home." "Hello." "Hello!" "A word of advice:" "If you want to be spared, ...don't try to recall who you've seen wearing that foulard or else the colors red and black could mean for you what they meant to your friends." "Who is this speaking?" "Hello." "Hello." "Who's calling?" "Answer me." " Oh." "Oh, thank God it's you, Uncle Nino." " Dani." "I'm so afraid." "Try and control yourself, my dear." "Find some way of getting your mind off it all." "I'm afraid." "Don't leave me alone." "Dani, just pack up and go away for a while." "To the country house." "The air there would be good for your nerves." " Alone?" " I'd go too, but there's this business in Paris." "It wouldn't be fair to leave you by yourself." "Invite some of your friends to go with you." "You'll soon get over your fright." "All you need is some good fresh air." "Say, you must know about everybody in town, don't you?" "Oh, no, I don't." "I'm sorry, sir." "It's like a seaport, this place." "Strange faces here every day." "All sorts of colors, all sorts of races." "In fact, you close your eyes and don't notice anyone." "Oh, no." "Believe me, I keep 'em open, but, ...just how can I help you?" "For example..." "You sell scarves." "Did you sell this one?" "I handle those... that kind." "Japanese silk prints." "But, uh..." "I mean, they're rather ordinary." "I have some right over there." "Ever sell this foulard?" "I might have sold one, of course." "I can't recall them all." "But can you remember who might have bought one?" "It's very important." "No, I do a steady business even if it does look unimportant." "You believe I can recollect who bought what here, ...who bought this, who bought that." "They come in crowds and they go in crowds." "If you do remember, call me at headquarters." "You got that?" "Ask for Inspector Martino." "Bad news." "Ah, you know." "I'm Gianni Tomasso, the scarf seller in the piazza." "Because this afternoon the inspector was snooping around." "I believe I should sell the business." "No, I'm not trying to blackmail." "You want me to keep a friendly secret." "To make sure I can pretend that I never sold you that foulard." "Two million lire will be plenty now." "Pretty cheap." "It ought to pay the initial expenses." "How do you mean?" "Have the money." "You're responsible for my complete silence." "See you tonight." "So let's all meet at the station tomorrow at 3:00, all right?" "Look." "Ursula plans on making out tonight, seeing as we're off for a lean weekend." " Ciao." " Ciao." " Ciao." "Dani." " Dani." " Stefano, let me go." "Dani, I have to talk to you." "I must." "Why don't you go away?" "Why don't you leave me alone?" "I've got to speak to you." "You're going to listen." "Dani, you have to." "I don't!" "Dani!" "Dani, you've got to belong to me and no one else." "Classes have been canceled for today." "No!" "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "Daniela!" "Open this door!" "I've got to speak to you!" "What's going on up there?" "Who's that on the stairs?" "What are you doing up there?" " Hello?" " Oh, hello, Jane." "Can you come over right away?" "I must talk to you." " Right now?" " It's urgent." " It's Stefano's." " What's Stefano's?" "He was wearing that scarf the day Flo died." "Jane, it's terrible." "Oh, come on." "You need to relax." "Let me help you to." "No, Jane." "I remember it so well." "Stefano was really wearing that scarf, and he didn't ever wear it again." "What have you got against that boy?" "He's so strange, so violent." "He frightens me." " And then..." " Then what?" "Jane, you won't tell anyone, will you?" "Of course I won't." "Surely you're not afraid of me too." "Oh, no, Jane." "But I received this phone call from the killer and he threatened to kill me too if I told anyone who it was that I'd seen wearing that scarf." "Come in." "Excuse me." "I just wanted to say good-bye." " Good evening, Jane." " Good evening." "I'll have to go now." "If not, I'll miss my flight at 10:00." "I'll phone you from Paris when I arrive." " Take care of her, Jane." " All right, till tomorrow morning." "I can't go up to the villa till later." "I have a few things to do in town." "You didn't tell me." "No, but I told Ursula and Katia." "I'm sorry." "Oh, you'll be all right." "You'll have the others with you." "You better dry off." "Hmm." "I have to go." "Have a good trip." " But you promised." " Yes, but I want to talk to Stefano first." "He may be a strange boy as you say, ...but that doesn't mean the killer is Stefano." "I'll drive up later." "Don't worry." "No!" "No!" "Excuse me." "Does Stefano Vanzi live here?" "He's on the third floor, Apartment 8, signorina." "Grazie." "Hello?" "Hello!" "Anyone home?" "Anyone home?" "Is anybody there?" "Stefano." "Stefano." "Stefano." "Stefano." "Dear Dani, I don't understand why you reject me but I know one day you'll understand me." "Do you remember the promise you made me when you were a little girl?" "And yet..." "I was looking for Stefano Vanzi." "Excuse me." "Signor Vanzi's bed was unoccupied last night." "I don't know if he's in town." "Look at all those knockers." "Brother, from here you can see the source of the Nile." "Where's she from?" " The one with the suntan makeup?" " She didn't buy it." " With those legs should could outrun a rabbit." " I'm a rabbit." "Hey, what do you think I'm here for?" "Make eyes at me." "Come on." "Let's go." "We still have a lot of shopping to do." "Bring the bread and the milk every morning." "Please don't forget." "I'll remember, signorina." "Every morning." "Thank you." "Pretty girls, eh, Baloc?" "If you could only speak to 'em, how they'd love it." "The way they looked at you." "You saw." "Say, why don't you go up to the villa and pay 'em a visit?" " They're expecting you." " Yeah." " Sure." " No kidding, Baloc." "You could measure 'em for shoes." " Like the Shoemaker and the Elves." " What they came here for is a strong man like you." "They love leather." "Don't miss your chance, Baloc." "Save one for me." "Yeah." "FORTUNATELY YOU DON'T WASH YOUR CAR" "I HAVE TWO TICKETS FOR THURSDAY'S CONCERT" " FRANZ" "With all the windows barred, it seems like a prison." "There's no one here most of the year." "It was a paradise for thieves, so we put up the bars to discourage them." "God, where's Jane?" "She must have found the roads full of traffic." "Or she couldn't leave." "Why not telephone?" " There we are." " That's it." " Ciao." " Ciao." " Yes, signorina?" " Excuse me." "Can you show me the road to Villa Sant'Alba?" "Oh, yes." "It's, uh, just up the hill." "But slow down." "It's bumpy." "Well, I'd better have you check the car." "I think there's a spring broken." "It's impossible to check that until morning." "But tonight, if you like, I'll go with you." "Yes, if you please." "You'll have to walk up the hill though." "I'm sorry." "They told me she left three hours ago." "Ah, then she's found interesting company, I guess." "Stop joking." "I'm afraid." "I'm worried because..." "Hey, girls, you gonna open this door or not?" "It's Jane." "Oh, at last." "Wow!" "What a climb." "Oh!" "I had trouble with my car, and I had to leave it in the village." " Hi." " Ciao." "Hi, Ursula." " Dani was worried about you." " Well, she was right." "It's the fault of the driving, I suppose." "Look, I've cleared the whole thing up." "Stefano has nothing to do with it." "Of course." "Stefano's scarf was different." "His had a red design on a black background." "The one the inspector showed us was just the opposite." "I'm so confused." "If Stefano wasn't wearing that scarf..." "Then who..." "I know I saw it on somebody." "Look, forget about the scarf." "I won't hear any more about it." "Now, I could do with a drink." "I think I've caught a cold." "What a terrible day." "Forget it, boys." "Those three birds aren't for the likes of us." "Forbidden fruit's the best there is." "They're some grapes." "Well, that niece of the owner's really ripe." "I wouldn't mind spoiling her a little bit more." "She looks willing enough to me." " Let's go up there and give them a try." " We'll be wasting our time." " Let's play boccie ball." " Listen to Casanova." "That's how he gets laid so much." "I go for that exotic meat, the one with the long legs." " Wow." "What a grip she must have." " She looks like a man-eater." " I'd feel safer with one of the other two." " They're all the same in the dark." "Maybe, but I'd like to start with that little one first, then work my way up." "You got it all worked out, huh?" "They'd sure give him a workout." "Well, I'm off to bed." "Good night, Dani." "Good night." "Mamma mia." "Ah, it's about time!" "Come on, you lizards." "Breakfast is here." "Come on." "I'm starved." "So is he." "Oh, look." "Jane's hurt." "Oh, no." " I twisted my ankle." " How awful." "Well, it's my own fault for being so clumsy." "Milk, bread and eggs and things." "It hurts." " Don't worry." "It'll be all right." " Ah!" "Ooh, it hurts." "It's not broken." "Why the hell are you standing there?" " Go get a doctor." "Quickly." " Yeah, yeah." "Sure." "I don't think it's anything serious." "But if the swelling hasn't gone down by tomorrow, ...call me and we'll have it x-rayed." "In case you don't sleep tonight, young lady, because of the pain, ...I'll leave you these." "But don't take more than two." "Some vacation." "Haven't I seen you somewhere before?" "You might have." "On the train!" "I remember now." "You were in the same compartment." "Yes, that's right." " You weren't with your friends." " I came later by car." "If necessary I can bring you into town tomorrow." "My ankle isn't broken." "I can drive myself tomorrow." "Well, I'll be off." "If you want to reach me, you know where to find me." " I'll see you to the door." " Good-bye." "Good-bye, Doctor." "Mmm, that doctor's all right, huh?" "Not bad." "You know, you should have something done about that road." "It's not easy getting up here." "Oh, excuse me." "Hello?" "Oh, it's you, Uncle!" "How are you?" "You were right." "I'm okay." "But where are you?" "Paris?" "It sounds as if you were calling from the next room." "Oh, yes." "The weather's marvelous here." " It's like ice!" " I told you so." "At least it's warm in the sun." "Oh, thank goodness." "Stefano!" "Stefano!" "Come out!" "What are you doing there?" "Dani?" "But I don't see anyone." "I'm sure I saw someone a moment ago." "It looked like Stefano." "But, Dani, you were frightened." "That's all." "It was Stefano." "Let's go home now." "If it was Stefano, he would have answered, no?" "Champagne!" "Come on, Jane." "This'll fix you up." "To Jane's ankle!" "Bottoms up!" "Oh, boy!" "Nisidine and champagne." "She won't wake us up in the morning!" "Let's not excite the patient." "She's full of goof pills." "Now she needs some rest." "I think the piano was tuned." "Shall we serenade her?" "Yes!" "How about a lullaby?" "Come on then!" " Good night!" " Good night, everybody." "Good night." "Good night, Jane." "You want the lights off?" "You can turn the big one off." "I'm going out like a light too." " Night." " Night." "You two make wonderful company." "What are you doing?" "Do you have a call boy?" "I wish I had." "No, I'm going to call Stefano, see if he's home." "Oh, forget Stefano." "Besides, Dani, it's late." "If he answers, I'll hang up." "Hell." "It's out of order." " Somebody's here?" " Maybe it's the doctor paying a late call." "Who's there?" "Come on." "You might as well open the door." "Stefano!" "Did I sleep so late?" "Hey!" "I'm hungry!" "Aren't patients supposed to have their breakfast in bed?" "Ursula?" "Katia?" "Dani?" "Ursula?" "Dani!" "Dani?" "Dani?" "Dani!" "Bread and milk!" "Anyone home?" "I have to pick up the empties!" "Anyone home?" "Well..." "I don't think that the girls are politically aware." "Who cares?" "I'd like to have all three of them." " All on a desert island." " Naked." " In a storm." " In a storm?" "Why?" " It's more emotional." " You need an assist?" "Oh, no." "Eight legs, each more gorgeous than the next." "Six!" "You can't even count, you're so crazy." "Eight!" "I tell ya, I saw 'em!" "Eight!" "Six!" "Six gorgeous legs." "Six!" "Not eight!" "Yeah?" "Well, I was there, wasn't I?" "I know there's another two." "There's eight legs, eight titties and four sets of ass!" "Ah, balls." "Either you were drunk or you never set foot in the building." "Ah, he's dreamin'." "Yeah." "Wet dreaming." "You're jealous because you weren't there!" "I tell you there were four girls up there!" "The fourth one came by car." "Her car is still down there at the filling station." " Go on!" " Go see for yourself if you don't believe me." "Three or four or a thousand, we can't lay a finger on 'em in this lousy town!" " I bet they get plenty where they come from." " Yeah, that's why they come here." "For vacation." "Wish they'd settle here." "You still wouldn't have a chance." "Well, that's the advantage of a university education." "As far as they're concerned, we're illiterate." "I can read and write." "Well, for what I got in mind you don't need to know much." "Let's go play some snooker." "I'll buy the beer." "Accidente, dottore?" "What happened?" "Did a tank hit you?" "Or was it one of our good women drivers?" "It was my fault." "I parked on a curb." "Oh." "An American license." "Whose is it?" "Belongs to one of the girls staying up there at the old villa." "Broke a spring." "I repaired it myself, but she hasn't picked up the car." "I drove it up there myself, ...but they were all gone." "Well, she sprained her ankle." "Perhaps one of her friends took her home." "Strange." "They must have left last night, because..." "Well, I've been here since early this morning." "I've seen no one go up or down all day." "Well, shall I fill it up, dottore?" "Uh, no, no." "No, thanks." "Not now." "Well..." "Jane." "Don't look at me like that." "I had to do it." "I had to, Jane!" "I had to!" "They were only dolls." "Stupid dolls made out of flesh and blood." "But you're not like the others." "You're different, Jane." "You're pure." "Everything would have been different with you." "It was chance and necessity." "Remember?" "In me they're monstrously inverted." "It was chance that drove me to the necessity to kill dolls." "Lisa, if you let me see you without your panties, ...I'll go and get your doll." "Mama says you're a bad boy, and so's your brother Franz." "Go get your own doll then." "What do I care?" "Well, all right." "I'll let you look once." "But first you got to get me my dolly." " You promise?" " I'll cross my heart." " Careful." "It's slippery." " No, don't worry, Franz." "Gianni!" "His body dropped down and down." "And then the..." "The final crash." "That sick... sickening thump..." "As the body hit the rocks." "And there was... blood." "Blood everywhere!" "Blood all over the rocks." "Bitches." "Bitches!" "They'll do anything to get what they want!" "Yes, like Flo and Carol." "They played their filthy little games with me." "They seduced me, ...flattered me." "Then they blackmailed me." "Filthy bitches!" "But they didn't know what was in store for them." "I killed them." "I hacked them to pieces like dolls." "But, Franz, ...why did the others have to die?" "Dani saw me when I was following Carol," "...when she was on the back of that motorbike with those two boys." "Dani would have remembered sooner or later that Carol was with those two and I had the scarf." "I couldn't give her time to remember." "The colors were reversed." "The one Stefano had is red on black instead of black on red, like mine." "But that must mean you killed Stefano." "Yes." "He saw me here in the village." "He understood." "Death is the best keeper of secrets." "Why did you come here, Jane?" "Why?" "A doll!" "You're only a stupid doll like the others!" "Let's go for the police and get away from here."
