"MATERASSI SISTERS" "Excuse me, where do the Materassi Sisters live?" "Over there, through that gate." "MATERASSI SISTERS DRESSMAKING AND WEDDINGS" "WORKSHOP" "It needs to be even tighter." "Like this, like a lily." "Lily of Florence, the flower woman!" "Just a moment." "Oh, invite them in." "Everyone can admire my body." "I swim naked in my swimming pool." "Come in." "Oh, Monsignor, please excuse us." "If we had known we were to be honoured by one of your visits..." "Show me your religious embroidery." "I've heard that you are unequaled in that kind of thing." "Monsignor..." "Carolina, get your Saint Francis." "Here it is." "Please excuse me, Monsignor." "I see that you like to mix the sacred with the profane." "To mix saintly things with the vanity of this world." "But, one of your creations  has fallen into the hands of our Holy Father." "His Holiness admires it greatly." "And has therefore expressed his desire that you..." "Otello!" "Otello!" " The Pope!" " The Pope?" "Niobe!" "What is it?" "What do you mean, the Pope?" "The Holy Father is coming." "Tickets, please." "Ticket." "Ticket!" "You're in the wrong carriage, young man." "You're traveling in first class with a third class ticket." "Do you hear me?" "I don't have any money." "Well, so what?" "I shall pay the difference." " Very well." " Thank you, Ma'am." " Are you hungry?" " Me?" "Yes." "For all!" "For all!" "Niobe?" "Has anyone called while we were away?" "Yes, the Russian lady from Settignano is waiting for her dress." "Ah, that one..." "And is Rome beautiful?" "So many columns." "Small ones, big ones, in a line, straight up  on the ground, some broken, here and there, everywhere!" "And the Pope?" "The best day of my life." "And the Colosseum!" "All holes, as though it had been nibbled at by mice." "And we saw the place where lions used to eat Christians." "In front of 300,000 people!" "And the buildings?" "And the statues?" "They say the statues are to die for..." "Her again." "Always the same." "Let's go." "You don't consider me  as a sister of yours!" "I've poisoned myself!" "Come on, get up." "I hate you, you went to Rome without me." " We brought you a souvenir." " Keep it." " It's blessed." " Keep it." "You like the servant more than me." "You hate me because I've known love." "You've never felt a man's arms." "Have you done the accounts?" "No, you think about nothing but money." "You deny yourself pleasure." "You don't live life." " What do you mean?" " Leave it." " We don't live life?" " No." "You breathe, but you don't live." "Ballrooms, theatres, the joy of the arts  traveling, love!" "What do you know of these things?" "Who are you saving money for?" "Who?" "!" "Miss Teresa!" "Miss Carolina!" "Come..." "I'm dying!" "I'm dying!" "Suffocating!" "Where are you, husband of mine?" "To think, he last time I saw you  you were only this tall!" "And now you're a young man." "Such a handsome young man." " Remo!" " Remo?" " But, he's a man!" " Of course!" "Were you not expecting me?" " Have you eaten?" " Yes." "Sure you're not hungry?" "Me?" "Always!" "Well, what happened?" " I ran away." " From your Uncle's house in Ancona?" "Yes." " He beat me." " Oh, how horrible!" " He's always drinking." " Come, come..." " Make yourself comfortable." " Not on the chair, on the sofa." "Come, tell us what happened." " They didn't feed me." " A boy like you needs to grow!" " Though, he does look well." " Do you think so?" " Yes." "They sent me to work for a mechanic." "All day with my hands in oil and wax." "Let me see your hands." " But they're clean." " Of course, he's a clean boy." "I like soap and cold water." " Very cold, I bet!" " Then what happened?" "Yesterday I decided to run away." "And this morning, I just about had enough money  for a third class ticket." "Oh, third class." "Where else could I go?" "You're all I have in the world." "Here I am." "I always told you that it should have been us to take him  after poor Augusta passed away." " Wouldn't I be a burden?" " Well, of course not." "Quiet." "More importantly, are you sure your uncle won't come and get you?" " Let him try!" " Him?" "Oh, there's no danger of that." "Come and see your room." " No." " Please, let me." "Come, come..." "No, no, let me carry your case." "Carolina, please." "Here we are." "Musty in here, isn't it?" "Nobody has been in here since the death of your poor grandparents" " I never knew them." " No, unfortunately not." "Though I'm sure they would have both been happy, too  to see you so grown-up, so..." "This is your bed." "I told you, I don't ever want to see men in my house again!" "Your house?" "You have no say in the matter." "Since it was a man that stomped all over my heart  and ate up all my money, I don't want to see another one!" "I don't want to upset Aunt Giselda." "I will earn myself living." " I'm strong and brave enough." " No!" "If someone here has to leave, it certainly won't be Remo!" " I'll poison myself!" " Go right ahead!" "One more time can't hurt." "This house must be cursed!" "Oh, really!" "Are these clothes all you have?" "Yes, but they do me just fine." "No, today we'll pay a visit to the tailor's shop." "In Saint Mary's?" "Yes." "Why?" "Oh, nothing." "Thank you, you're very kind." "I wonder if anyone here would like a brand new bicycle..." "Do you know how to ride a bicycle?" "Me?" "I can ride a motorcycle, too." "Tomorrow you'll have a new bicycle, the latest model!" "With racing handlebars?" " Of course." " Oh, you're too good to me." "And I haven't even given you a kiss." "And now you, Aunt Teresa." "Would you like some more?" "Of course." "He's almost 6 feet tall, but is still a child." "You have to explain everything to him, he's such an innocent boy." "God bless the pure." "He still kisses us on the mouth, as if he were still a toddler." "How darling." " But, where is he?" " Out on his bicycle." "He's the one who takes care of our orders, the deliveries." "He's an angel." "He's been with us for 6 months and I haven't had to tell him off yet." "And I'm certain he never sins." "Hey!" "Don't take all of it." "At least leave me some money for breakfast." "Who do you take me for?" "I know what your type are like." "You and your women  with that face!" "He's a handsome young man." "We saw him go past on his bicycle." " Isn't that right, Beatrice?" " Yes, Mother." "And since Beatrice, one of these days will be looking to marry  I'd like to find her a nice, hard-working young man." "Unfortunately, we're so busy with our work at the moment..." " Sorry?" " I'm very sorry." "Oh, I see." "We're not distinguished enough for you, are we?" "Miss, please..." "Yes, you think you're all high and mighty after seeing the Pope." "And that pampered nephew of yours that you have everyone call "master"." "He looks like your father." "Your father who sold everything and ended up eating even the  shirt off his own back." "A nice family, you have." "Come." "We don't owe money to anyone!" "Just you wait..." "And we work for who we like." "Yes, for rich families." "Get walking!" "And for old fools!" "I love your hands." "They remind me of the hands of a young man in Mantegna." " Is that a village?" " No, he was a painter." "This package is from my aunts." "Ah, my dress!" " Have you seen it?" " Yes, Ma'am." "Princess." "But not on me." " Want to see?" " That's okay, Princess." "Well, if you insist." "The flower woman." " You could pick her petals..." " I'm too old for this..." " Is it an opportunity?" " It's a bargain." " Not too old." " No." " Still pretty?" " You should see her!" "Will you show me?" "There she is." "Do you like it?" "Come in." " How much is it?" " 7,000." " Too much." " I'm sure I can come down." " Reach some kind of agreement." " How much?" "3 or 4,000." "For the rest, I know some people that might be able to help you." " Really?" " I know people." "Come in." "What do you take us for, millionaires?" "Leave that alone." "A motorcycle." "You'll break your neck." "Then we'll speak no further about it." "Goodnight." "It's the first time he's gone to bed without giving us a kiss." "4,000 lire." "Well, he is all we have." "He's our only heir." "So you're giving up?" "Tomorrow, when he comes to kiss us good morning  we'll tell him that we can arrange something." "Always with that icy water!" "You'll end up with pneumonia!" "Pneumonia, right!" "Why are you up so early?" "Come, help me get dry." "Harder." "Harder, Niobe!" "Tomorrow I won't be here." " What was that?" " Come on, harder!" "Don't you like it here anymore?" "Yes, but here I'm wasting my time." "I need to find myself a job." "I have to work." "You're too handsome for work." " I need money." " How much?" "Your skin is like ivory." " How much?" " Oh, not much." "4,000 lire." "But I don't want to be anyone's burden, I want to work for myself." "Hold on, I have some savings." "You, Niobe?" "I wouldn't dream of it." "I'll never spend any of it." " Thanks, but I cannot accept." " Why not?" "Well, on principle." "You always use such big words." " Here." " No, no, no..." "Remo!" "Run, I won't tell them anything, it'll be our little secret." "Remo!" "Remo!" "Remo!" "Remo!" "Where is he?" "Well, I don't know." "On his bicycle with Otello." "Always with Otello." " Such company." " How did he get out?" "Through the window." "He's a fearless one!" "I've never seen him study, he thinks about nothing but having fun!" "The great men in history never studied regularly  only the mediocre put themselves through university." "Remo has the eye of a practical man." "Remo will leave us all open-mouthed one of these days." "I'm sure he will!" " Camillo." " Ma'am?" "Who is that handsome boy?" " Which?" " The most handsome." "I want to make him a beautiful portrait out of marble." "But they're all handsome, which one?" "The one drinking." "Life is good, isn't it?" "It really is." "Well, see how everything worked out?" " Thanks to you." " Over 4,000 lire?" "If I hadn't given you it, someone else would have." "Right, who?" "Her." "Are you not hungry?" "But where could he be?" "Out at 10 O'clock in the evening." "11 O'clock, Darling." "11 O'clock." "Pass me the salad." "Now you know what it feels like to wait up for someone." " It's him!" " Him?" "But he doesn't have a motorcycle." "Good evening." " Where have you been?" " Florence." "And did you not think to call?" "We waited until half-past 9 to eat." "You shouldn't have." " Well, did you buy it?" " Sorry?" "You must be hungry." " Thanks, but I already ate." " Where?" "Where?" "Well, what do you want from me?" "The motorcycle!" "The motorcycle was a necessity." "I have to create a future for myself, I can't continue to live  as your burden." "I hope to obtain the representation  of a factory in Florence." "Since you refused my plea for help  it really doesn't concern you." "Of course it concerns us!" "You are part of our family." "And we have the right to know certain things." " What?" " Did you buy it on credit?" " On credit?" " Then where did you get the money?" "One can get money from anyone..." "As a loan, you see." "No!" " But how will you pay it back?" " That's my business." "The Russian from Settignano?" "Niobe, what's so funny?" "How shameful." "I'm so tired." "Please, let me go to bed." "Listen, if this motorcycle is really necessary  for your future, we had decided to buy it for you." "Right?" "It's too late, now." "Goodnight." " Is it her?" " Is it her?" " It's so obvious." " Of course it's not her!" "What do you know?" "I'll see to that Bolshevik!" "It's her!" "To us, of all people!" "Laurina, leave us, I'll call you later." "I've come to spank you!" "You gave me your word  and broke it this time, too." "You said I would get those shirts by Thursday, but they didn't show up." " What shall we do?" " Here." "Money?" "Why?" " You know very well why." " Me?" "Don't act like you don't know." " Ah, I gave you too much!" " No!" "The motorcycle!" " What motorcycle?" " Remo's motorcycle." "Take your money back." " I don't understand." " Oh, really?" "You can take this back, too." "And take your underwear  somewhere else in future, poisonous flower woman!" " I assure you..." " You wanted to seduce him, but we won't let you!" " We don't want to see you again!" " He's ours!" "Ours!" "Please, calm down!" " Out!" " Out!" " Laurina!" " Don't be afraid." "Why didn't you come on Sunday?" " I don't remember." " Will you come next Sunday?" "Such a pretty mouth you have." "Finally we got rid of her!" "It wasn't the Russian that bought Remo his motorcycle." "It was another woman." "Yes, another rich woman." "Read this." "Went through his pockets as he was sleeping, did you?" "To know the truth about men, it is the only way." "Oh, My God." "Nice car." "What?" " What?" " I said it's a nice car." "Yes, my aunts bought it for me." "They've been good to me, I should really treat them." "When you've finished, park it just outside the gate." "Good." "Remo!" "Remo!" "Here I am." " Are you ready?" " No, my hair is a mess!" "Alright, leave it to me." "Remo, no!" "But, Remo!" "Remo!" " Come, Remo..." " Leave it to me." "Would you like me to style your hair like a saint  or a courtesan?" "Remo..." "Make it look careless." "But, Remo..." "Very soft." "And shameless." "Oh, Remo..." "No more tied back hair for you." "Tonight we're going to the world of lost souls." "Like this?" "Like this?" "There." "Look, Teresa!" "I don't recognise myself." "I can't reach!" "I can't do it!" "Leave it to me." "There." "What's wrong?" " Nothing, nothing." " Let's get going." "Yes, yes..." "Could you help me with this?" "Thank you." "This evening you two will stop traffic!" "Let's go." "Sir, your usual table." " Camillo, treat them well." " Of course, for a client like you..." "Where did those two come from?" " What a handsome man." " Really?" "Choose." "Oh, but it's expensive." " Tonight, it's on me." " Then you can choose for us." " Oysters." " Three dozen?" "No, for use two just a dozen oysters would be enough." " Of course." " Do you like oysters?" " I don't know." " Me neither." "Three dozen, and the special pheasant." " And for the main course?" " No, that's enough." " We'll see." " Excellent." "And, for the wine?" " The usual." " Very good." "So, lovely aunts, do you like it?" "I'm going to have a word with my friends over there, it's business." " Of course." " Come back soon." "Right away." " He's so good to us." " And he knows everyone." "Even the waiter." "With such connections, I'm sure he'll go far." "And quickly." "And to think, we were afraid he might end up in trouble." " We?" "You." " I... well, he was young." "But now he's a man of the world." "Elegant, and with good manners." "He must earn quite a lot, he always has so much money." "They're talking about us." "Where did you find those two parrots?" " They're my aunts." " Those two rich old women?" "Let's not exaggerate..." "Yes, they own a workshop that is making a lot of money  with very important clients, and farms, houses..." "I'm their only heir." "I need 20,000 lire." " More?" " Before the end of the month." " You already owe me so much." " What's the risk?" "I need to account for things, to see the farms, the workshop..." "My guarantee, your inheritance." "Easy, one of these evenings you can come for dinner." " Very good, very good." " When?" " Tomorrow night." " I accept!" "The parrots look hungry." " I have to go." " Goodbye!" "You could have started." " How do you eat them?" " I'll teach you." "I secured a great business deal." "Enough!" "The bill!" " 100,000 lire!" " 200,000!" "A million!" " Want to dance with me?" " No, no..." "My legs are like jelly!" " No, said I'll pay for it!" " No, let me!" "There's always a party in this house." "But be careful, Lent is approaching." " Good morning." " Good morning, Darling." "Are you not working?" "There's nothing more to do." "Come with me." "We got back from Florence late last night." " Thank you." " With Remo." "The oysters." "The pheasant." "The tartar sauce." "And those truffles." " The truffles are still on my stomach." " Not mine." "I would do it all again tonight." "Every night!" "One hundred miles an hour." "The trees in the moonlight." "And a sweetness in the air." "Come on." "What is it, Laurina?" "Are you crying?" " Do you not feel well?" " What's wrong?" "Are you unhappy?" "I'm going to have a baby." " A baby?" " You?" "Bad!" "Very bad!" "We might be old women but we were 20 years old once  and we never got into such a mess, I promise you." " Never." " Getting pregnant!" "My God, a baby!" " Whose is it?" " The milkman?" " The postman?" " Well?" " With who?" " Master Remo." " How dare he?" "!" " The nerve!" "But, what?" "It's a shame that Remo is in Florence on business." "That's enough!" "Otherwise you'll get nothing!" "Careful, or you'll get it in your face." "Almost finished." "Let's go!" "Just a moment!" "It's late, with all this noise we'll wake up your aunts." "Of course not!" "Boys, shout all you like!" " How darling." " His friends, all boys from good families." "All important young men." "They will introduce him to the good life, to their business." "Such an honour that they are here, in our house." "It's 2 O'clock in the morning!" "This is against the law!" "Can't she be quiet?" "She'll scare them away!" "A pack of men in my house!" "And I'm meant to put up with this?" "They're shouting louder than ever!" "Remo must have told them that Giselda is insane." "I'm going to call the police!" "Enough!" "Come on." "Can't you chuck that dirty boy out on the street..." "This think and soft piece of fabric is destined to turn  into solid gold." "Gentlemen, some imagination please." "The young and beautiful maiden will wear this piece  on the night of her wedding." "Our respects go to those who have perished!" "The Countess's underwear!" "Oh, Remo..." "The Marquise's underwear!" "Bye!" " They're leaving." " And so early, too." "What a shame." " Bye, Remo." " Goodbye." " Bye." " Bye." " Well, how did it go?" " It was excellent." " What about that 20,000?" " Anything you want." "Before the end of the month?" "Today is the 24th..." "I'll see you on the 30th at 5 O'clock." " Where?" " At the café." " Thank you." " What are friends for?" "Bye." "Oh, you're awake?" "We woke you, didn't we?" "Please excuse me." "What a lovely evening." " You know, we were waiting to tell you about..." " What is it?" " Laurina." " Well?" "You've no idea what that shameless girl told us." " Yes." " What?" " But, it's not possible." " Yes." " Is it true?" " Yes." "What do you plan to do?" " What any man in my position would do." " Marry her?" "Yes." " You?" " Remo!" "There aren't just old women in this world." " I'd rather be old..." " Right." "What do you mean by that?" "That even the old can be useful." "Well, if you think this is funny..." "I want to live the simple life." "I've had enough lies and complications for a lifetime." "I will work all day and be happy about it." "Finally." "Goodnight." "The party is over, I see." "Can you ever shut her up?" " He will not marry her!" " No!" "My God, what a mess." "The milk!" " How many months pregnant?" " Two." "No woman can resist him." " It's not his fault." " She deceived him." "Such a marriage would be unheard of for girl like her." "We'll stop her!" "We must stop Remo at all costs from making such a huge mistake." "Something he will regret for his whole life." "It's about honour, you see." "We will not let Remo be prey to a whore like her." "And if Remo wants to marry her?" "We have the right to stop him." " For his own good." " But if her parents know that she's..." "She hasn't told them, she's scared." "Besides, they're poor devils who thank God when  they get the chance to eat." "And Laurina will have a wedding, a dowry and a husband." "We won't pay for the wedding, and we'll talk about the dowry." "Remo has cost us enough." "Well, we will have to mortgage the rest of our things." " And you will find her a husband." " Me?" " Yes." " Where?" "Good morning, ladies." "Did you sleep well?" " Niobe." " Leave me alone." " What about my hot water?" " I don't know where my head is today." "I'm leaving." " You're leaving?" " For a couple of days." "Where are you going?" "To pick grapes." "I'm going to pick grapes." " Do you have the money?" " No." " But..." " No." " I really need it." " I don't like cheats." "What?" "If you don't pay me what you owe by tomorrow, I'll report you." " I have all the receipts." " What do you mean?" "Thought you could trick me, did you?" "Your aunts' properties are mortgaged up to the hilt!" "But, I had no idea." " I swear." " I couldn't care less!" " You can tell that to justice." " Justice?" "And what about you, loaning me money at 30%?" " You could have refused." " Loan shark!" "What?" " I'm giving you 24 hours." " 24 hours." "What can I do?" "Find someone who can bail you out." "But with a proper contract." " Waiter!" " Leave it." "At 6 O'clock tomorrow, or else..." "The adventure is over." " How much?" " 30 lire." " Well?" " Ripped off." " Where are we going?" " I know where." "Come in." "Ah, someone in need." "Tell him I'm not here." "Sir, it's been a while since you last came to pose." " Is the lady home?" " No, she's in Sweden until Christmas." " Would you like her address?" " No." " Good day." " Good day." " Well?" " Let's go home." "Well, then what?" "So then I went to pick grapes." "I found some magnificent grapes." "Tasty and juicy ones." "Grapes from the hill." "Thank you." "You lied to us, deceived us." "Enough already, I'm tired of hearing about these debts." "Whose fault is it?" " I have to pay." " We have no money left." "The house is covered by the mortgage." " I have to pay." " With what?" "Borrow it." "As long as we've been in this business, we've never borrowed money." "I know what it's like, I lived through poverty as a child." "The eyes of my mother  red from all her crying." "In front of her  all doors were closed." "I saw bailiffs in my own house." "They took everything from us." "But through hard work, your aunt and I have got everything back." "Everything paid for." "I will not borrow money!" "It's the only way!" "I promise to start living an honest life when this is over." " What about us?" " Come on, please." "Never!" "Here." "Put it away!" "You will pay!" "No, we are not obliged to." "Then ask someone to sponsor you for your future." "We will not reduce ourselves to asking for hand-outs." "No!" " No!" "No!" " Get out!" "You have to sign!" "Come on." "Teresa!" "Remo!" "You'll kill us both!" "You'll kill us both!" "Remo!" "Remo, look at these." "Sweet and tasty." " Did you have a nice trip?" " Very nice." " How are your aunts?" " Don't scream." "Has something happened?" "When one has debts, one must pay." " There's no rush." " What?" "That 4,000 lire of yours is burning my fingers." "You can pay me back whenever." "It's not my fault." "They're behaving like children." "Their whims are making it hard  for me to do my business." " From now on I just want to work." " You'll never work a day in your life." " Don't you believe me?" " No." "But, where are they?" "Niobe, help!" "Niobe!" "Niobe!" "Niobe!" " Don't move." " You're merciless!" "No, I want to let them out!" "Without the key?" "Do you intend to leave them in there for a long time?" "That's up to them." "Say, do you know about the relationship between me an Laurina?" "Of course, but I have news." "Laurina got engaged 5 days ago." " To who?" " The real father of the child." " But, then I'm not..." " You?" "But of course not." "This certainly simplifies things." "And I was ready to marry her." "She wasn't the right girl for you." "That's it." "No, stay here." "I'm coming!" "Excellent." "It's 4 O'clock, at 5 I'll be back to pick you up." "At 5 O'clock on the button." "Don't make me wait, girls!" "How dare he invite them out after what he has done." " The spoiled brat!" " But he's such a dear." "What?" "It's all your fault." "Your weakness only encouraged him." " You gave him money." " Me?" "Yes, and don't lie!" "That's my business." "You will be questioned in front of a court." "My sisters will sue him, and I'm all for it!" "This time he's gone too far!" "I told you he was bad!" "Questioned?" "Sure, as an accomplice." "The time has come for justice." "The handsome young master." "Extortion, violence and abduction." " He'll be given 10 years of hard labour. - 10 years?" " No." " At least." "No more fast cars and expensive clothes for him." "A straitjacket, that's what's waiting for him." "Waiting for who?" "You!" "No, no, I'll hide you!" "They'll never find you!" "Go up to your room." " No." " Right now, or else..." " Just try it!" " No." "I won't give you the satisfaction." "You are wretched!" "Ladies, are you ready?" "You think they want to go out with you, after what you've done?" "No, they're locked in their room." "You're the one who made them cry." "They hate you!" " Where are you taking us?" " First, to Narciso's for an aperitif." " Will there be music?" " Of course." " And then?" " Dinner at Fiesole's." " Like the other evening." " Yes, but much better." " And then..." " What?" "Another surprise?" "We will end the night at Les Folies." "At Les Folies!" "Friends of that crazy family?" " He's just like the father." " Things won't end well." "Isn't that right, Niobe?" "No, my dear!" "You fit in with them quite well  a lout, that's what you are!" "And that one up there!" "Is it warm enough for you?" "Scalding." "Would you like some butter?" "You don't need butter." "See you tonight." " Don't be late." " I won't." " Tomorrow is Sunday." " Good, he won't be going to Florence." "He can spend some time with us." "Still at the table?" "And with all the things we have to do around here..." "But Remo is happy." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." " So, I can count on you?" " Of course, Ma'am." "Leather seats, internal locking with gold buttons." "And the Venetian headlights with coloured glass?" "A unique pairing." "Well?" "Sold." "Well done." "To that old witch?" "In 4 minutes and 48 seconds." "I've noticed that you have more success with the older ladies." "And with the younger ones!" "Her again." "May I take a break?" "No, she's looking for you." "Do you know who she is?" "I'm not interested." "She annoys me." "She's a rich girl from Argentina, and her parents..." "Obviously didn't teach her well!" "If you manage to sell her one of these big cars  there's another 4,000 in it for you." " Miss." " Good day." " Are you free?" " Certainly, Miss." "And in a better mood than yesterday?" "One should be polite when one works with the public, especially to ladies." "Thank you for the advice, Miss." "There's no need for sarcasm." "Did you come here to buy a car or to lecture me on morals?" "Well, can't we do both?" " How much does it cost?" " 150,000." " I'll take it." " Will you be paying in cash?" "Certainly." "Just a moment." "I'd like my initial on the door." ""P", my name is Peggy." "I'll tell the decorator." " When may we deliver the car?" " Right away." "Good, I will go and call our driver." "No, you can drive me." "No, Miss." "Then I'm not buying it." "This is blackmail!" "You can't force me to do anything." " What a horrible young man!" " Just a misunderstanding, Miss." " What is it?" " I refuse to be subject to the lady's whims." "Come on, Remo..." "Nice name." "For a driver?" " Goodbye, gentlemen." " Miss..." "It's useless..." "Faster." "Still faster." " Stop." " No." "Are you crazy?" "We could have broken our necks!" "Scared?" "I have the right to test the brakes of a car I'm buying." " A cigarette?" " No, thank you." " Are you not getting out?" " It's time we headed back." "As you wish." "By now you have seen what the car can do." "No." "I didn't ask your opinion." "Get in." "The good worker who doesn't want to be late for his boss..." "No, you're boring me, let's head back." "Are you hungry, perhaps?" "Don't be foolish, it's late." "Careful with that cigarette near the petrol!" "No, I just wanted to check." "The tank is only half full." " Now it's my turn." " No." " I have a license, you know." " Don't be foolish." "Turn back." "Turn back." "This is all I needed." "You must be crazy." " Out of petrol already?" " Of course not." " Well?" " A lot of fun, this is." "There must be a hotel down there." "I'll go and see." "Sleep here?" "No chance." "It's late and they are waiting for me at home." "See what you've done with your stupid stubbornness?" "I shouldn't have let you twist my arm." "I'm sorry." "Is it to your liking?" " Two beds..." " Did you want to sleep in one?" " No!" " Well then?" "Out." "Get out of here!" "I should teach you a lesson." " Have you been drinking?" " I'm tired of this." "If you wanted to spend the night with me, you could have just asked." " Get out!" " Instead of putting sugar in the petrol tank." " Me?" " Of course, I had to dismantle the carburetor." "I will not allow a woman to make fun of me, even if she is rich!" "Goodnight." "Tomorrow I'll have you fired!" "On what road?" "I don't know." "Some kind of accident, of course." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "!" "Is this the police station?" "Excuse me." "Yes, the car is insured." "Okay, thank you." "He told us tonight." "Not too late." "He's hopeless." "Starting again, is it?" " Why does he do it?" " It's his way." "It's the son of the postman." "For you, ladies." "Goodbye, ladies." " Oh, my God." " Some vinegar, quick." ""My dears, I am engaged."" ""Just like in the fairytales."" ""We are getting married..." ""... as soon as possible." ""I will bring my fiancée to the ..."" ""... house, so that you can meet her."" ""I'm sure you will like her."" ""Her name is Peggy."" ""Regards from Peggy..."" ""... and a kiss from me, Remo."" ""Just like in the fairytales."" ""Just like in horror stories."" "He hid her from us." "I knew it wouldn't last." "He must have found some old hag with lots of money  now that he's spent all of ours." "She might not be old." "Yes, and ugly." " And mean." " And hunchbacked, perhaps." " And a grandmother." " But, why?" "In any case, it won't be a marriage based on love." "It's in his interests." "He doesn't give a damn about love!" "He can't love her." "Peggy, what a ridiculous name." "If he thinks we're going to throw a party, he can think again!" "A telegram like that must have cost him quite a lot." "A telegram?" "The postman must have read it." "So, the whole village knows." "We'll see the ugly old witch!" " She's pretty." " And really young." "What a lovely house." " Where are your aunts?" " Here's one of them." "And here's the other." "Cigarette?" "Cigarette?" "Please, give Peggy a kiss." " Are they mute?" " No, just intimidated." "All of this is so sudden." "Peggy, my aunts are the people I hold most dear in this world." " After you, of course." " Please..." "Niobe!" "Peggy, this is Niobe, our generous servant." "I told you she wasn't old!" "Give me a kiss, Niobe." "Niobe, bring us something to drink." "I'm sure the young lady would like some tea at this hour." "Me?" "No, wine please!" "A bottle." " White?" " Dry." " They look like two moles." " They're two old ladies." "Spinsters?" "And what's through there?" "A little big, but pretty." " I'll buy it all." " But they are for people." "I'll pay more and they'll be mine." "No!" "It's always about money." "Don't you understand, I hate it." "Liar." "A bottle of wine?" "She must be an alcoholic." " A girl that smokes." " She has a vulgar mouth." " She has nice teeth!" " The teeth of a wolf." "45 years altogether, what a lovely couple!" "Vampire." "I hope she won't find  to come down here." "But we can go out there with our heads held high." "You think you have something to prove, at your age?" "And when is the wedding?" "The papers still have to arrive from Argentina  and that's quite far away." "She'll be gone before they get here." "He won't marry her." "Where's Giselda?" "Hurry up, we're leaving in 10 minutes and I still have to say goodbye." "This idiotic music." "Here." "My wedding present." " Ah, now this?" " Do you want more?" " You offend me." " Are we not married?" " Of course." " Then it's normal." "Not just normal, but recommended." "Do you want names?" "It's important." "Money, it's nothing but trouble!" " Give me a kiss." " No, we should wait for..." "For what?" "Idiot." "I'll see you at 6 downstairs." "It's 5 minutes to, hurry up!" "Come in." "I came to say goodbye." " You're leaving?" " You're leaving?" " Really?" " Yes, at 6 O'clock." " Of course." " Unfortunately." "We'll be back soon." "I promise you, Peggy really likes Florence." "I never thought this moment would come." "That's life." " Of course." " Yes." "Excuse us for not coming down, but..." "Before I leave, I wanted to..." "You've been so good, so kind..." "Remo, what are you saying?" "You spent so much money on me, I wanted to give you some back." " Money from that woman?" " Aunt Teresa..." "Sorry." "If you don't owe us anything you will quickly forget us." "How could you think such a thing?" "Go, go..." "There's still time." "We don't like goodbyes." " Write to us, okay?" " I'll write often." "My dear aunts." "I'll never see you again!" "Why not?" "Because we're already so old!" "Come on, please..." "Go, go..." "Come back soon." "It is our punishment." "We should have let him marry Laurina." "That's true." "Niobe." "Don't cry." "It's just the onions." "Here's what I owe you, thank you." "Count it." "This really hurts." " What?" " That you don't need me anymore." " I gave that money to you." " Do you want me to keep it?" "It would make me very happy." "You're crazy, it's your money." "Goodbye." "Be careful." "Who will look after you?" "Oh, Remo!" "I'm suffering, too." "Farewell, Niobe." "No, stay here, don't move." "Farewell, Niobe." "Why did you let him leave?" "Why?" "We've received a new order." " Important?" " Well, some shirts, underwear..." " It's so cold!" " Warm yourself up."
