"Do you think she'll resist long here, among the pigs, the shit and the D'Alcos?" "Attila?" "Close the door." "Close it." "In this house subordinate employees don't hug family members on the table." "If you two can't help it, go and do it outside this house." " Is that clear?" " Yes." "You were looking forward it." "You were only waiting to become the master." "You were dying for it." "I'm not done yet." "I understand you can be likeably in that uniform, but my wife doesn't want Black Shirts in the house." "Well, women..." "Come on Alfredo..." "Attila might not be educated but you can trust him." "He's your watchdog." "Where was this dog when my father's drawers were robbed?" "What?" "No..." "Where's his gun now?"

"You're here to take Regina away from my wife." "Why don't you kick me out?" "I want you all here." "You're part of my inheritance." "Dog!" "Dog!" "Dog!" "This house is so beautiful that..." "Attila look, I'm arm wrestling." "Is it true that you win all the time?" "I liked it here." "If I think of all the years we spent here, of all the memories..." "Regina, it's understood then." "We'll move to town, they have the right to be alone." "And you tell me this way?" "I won't move from here." " Look who's here!" " Ottavio!" "I'm late." "I hope you like it."

"It's my house too, I'm part of his inheritance!" "Did you know that the noble masturbate in special places?" "Alfredo and I used to come here." "You're an idiot, I felt pity on you!" "You let him insult you, you were like a dog at his master's feet." "I'm his watchdog." "Then bark, bite!" "But don't let him treat me that way!" "He can't treat me that way." "What kind of man are you?" "Who are you?" "Never bite the hands that feed you as long as you need food." "You don't understand." "Alfredo is rotten." "Alfredo is your cousin." "What a whore." "Just married and already running away." "Regina, I love you." "Insults and humiliation make me strong." "They make me strong." "Italy is only my master." "I only serve her, that's why we marched on Rome." "The rich exploit and sack us." "The more they eat the more rotten they get." "We get the leftovers, but they make us strong."

"Let's have a drink and then we'll go to the church together." "She's crazy." "First she ignores us in public then she invites us to her house." "Maybe she wants to keep us quiet." "After all who cares?" "So?" "Are you coming in?" "Let's see how it is inside." "Merry Christmas, Mr. Federal." " Are you making fun of me?" " One day you'll become one." "You're still so young!" "Young and strong!" "Everything's artistic here." "It's like being in a foreign country, isn't it?" "A perfect house for a true lady." "Very elegant, very refined, full of culture." "You think?" "Please come to see the living room." " What is she doing?" " I told you she's crazy." "My God!" "Now you will have to listen to me!" "Now it's me who speaks!" "If you want to go out, you will have to sign a paper that the house is mine." "Attila." "You got that mortgage from my husband out of political blackmail and threats!" "You made his heart break." "You tormented him till he died." "Everything's artistic like in a foreign country, isn't it?" "Exactly as you would like it, Mr. Federal." "but now I'm holding you in a cage and I won't let you go!" "You won't get out of here." "This house is mine and will remain mine." "If nobody dares defend me, I'll defend myself." ""Made in Czechoslovakia"." "Scandalous sinners!" "Concubines!" "Concubines!"

"Yes, you were irresistible, divine!" "However I prefer you with mine." " There's so many people." " Maybe they're returning from the Mass." "What happened?" "It wasn't for money, she was full of debts." "Poor thing, with no more house or land, all mortgaged." " By whom?" " By Berlinghieri, everybody knows." "My God!" " She had to mortgage for debts." " What's the mortgage got to do with this?" "I think it was a sexual crime." "She was still an attractive woman." "Somehow she had to take her fill, right?" "Merry Christmas." " Miss." " Commissioner." "Which mortgage!" "I wouldn't be surprised if it were the crime of a crazy lover." "It can be anybody, also one of the presents." "Maybe she let him enter and then she refused him." "He lost his head and maybe raped her too before killing her" "Maniacs, communists, perverted." "May I?" "Sorry." "She's got no underwear." "How come a woman goes around without underwear?" "Why?" "Ada!" "Ada!" "Olmo!" "Olmo!" "Olmo!" "Olmo!" "You lock the door now?" "Why did you lock yourself inside?" " I don't, I lock the others outside." " Where's my wife?" "Enough!" "Get out!" " I am sorry." " Out, Goddamit!" " What does he want?" " His wife!" "Quiet, you'll wake up the children." "I'll go downstairs." "Sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me." "I don't feel well, maybe it's my heart, it went crazy." "Your heart?" "You are sick in the head!" "Yes, you may be right." "Perhaps I am going crazy." " Ada escaped and I don't know where she is." " And you look for her in my bed?" "Would it be strange?" " What do you mean?" " You know very well." "Come on, say it." "It's not such an impossible thing, I know you like her." "Yes, you are right." "She likes me too and we make love all night." "But that's not enough for her." "She wants me... to insert this salami up her ass!" "You're a son of a bitch." "You make fun of me too." "I called for it, but if you knew what I am going through, you would not speak like that." "Poor widow Pioppi!" "So much violence!" "It's a horrible world!" "And it had to happen tonight too." "Right when Ada and I felt close to each other again." "When she saw all that blood she ran away." "As if it were my fault, as if I was involved in it." " Who'll take the house?" " What?" "Villa Pioppi." "They'll put in jail a poor devil who doesn't know anything." "They'll say he's a subversive." "Too many people died, Alfredo." "but there will be more and more." "And too many people in jail." "And you allowed it, you and those like you!" "I am happy that you have a woman in the house, it is good for your daughter." "She only came for Christmas." "Her husband is in jail." "Have you ever wondered why so many of your friends are in jail and you aren't?" "Because I stop Attila." "I protect you all the time." "If you protect me, you'll have your own interest." "Okay insult me." "Insult your old friend." "I protect you only because I love you." "Remember when we went fishing frogs?" "It was beautiful to go along the ditches in summer." "I fished them and you ate them." "Come on." "The holes in your pockets." "A Socialist with holes in your pockets." "Remember?" "Yes, I remember well." "I remember your wedding." "I remember I was hit hard." "And I remember that you were there watching." "Do you also remember when you stole the gun in my father's study?" "If you have so much courage, why don't you use it?" "To get killed?" "Is that what you want?" "Enough with talks, Alfredo." "Go home, you'll see that Ada is there." " Do you believe it?" " Yes." "Take this, you can never know." "Go to hell!" "Ada!" "Ada, open the door!" "Ada, are you well?" "Ada, answer me!" "Ada!" "Ada, what are you doing?" "Ada, at least tell me something!" "Do you feel bad?" "What have I done to you?" "Ada, open up." "I must ask you for something:" "shall we take a trip?" "Shall we go to Paris?" "We can leave tomorrow." "Or now if you want!" "Let's have a child!" "I have seen aunt Ada." "Come on Italo, come to eat." "...the Italian-Germanic aviation has brought an effective contribution using bombs and machine guns against troops and vehicles." "During these fights..." "You have seen aunt Ada?" "I have seen her." "Don't talk nonsense." "Ada is dead, dead, dead." "Perch?" "are you saying she's dead?" "She's in her room." "In a cage like a beast." "and she eats the hearts of bad children."

"if you buy the horses, also buy the horse-seller." "I am speaking of you, Olmo!" "He seems strong, does he have family?" "He's a widower, with a child." "It depends on the price." "Baroni, you've never made such a bargain!" "Baroni it is a gentleman, it couldn't go better." "Then I am sold." "You're part of the contract." "Horses, horse-seller and shit included!" "Did you hear?" "He sold me!" "He sold me!" "Like a beast!" "But I don't make milk, I can't be milked." "I don't eat hay, then I am not a beast!" "I'm a peasant!" "A peasant like you." "Can they sell us?" "Can they buy us?" "Do you think it's right?" "I wonder if it is." "Olmo, take the horses and your daughter and go with Baroni, he bought you." "Shit included, then!" "Shit included!" "Shit, dam it, shit!" "Shit!" "Shit!" "Shit a lot!" "May God be praised!" "He shitted!" "See how much of it he made!" "The restocking!" "Comrades!" "Laugh!" "Today everything can change!" "Baroni!" "Make him eat it, today is carnival!" ""Milk and wine, subtle poison"." "Tell your owner, if she drinks milk, she'll remain young!" "Idiot." "Hi, Federica."

"Here's the key." " I'll be back soon." " Okay." "I'll be back soon." "You'll do fine with Stella!" "Take this, you'll need it more than me." "Thanks." "Lock up the house, don't go around alone." " Good-bye." " Bye." " Good luck, Olmo." " Thanks." " Take care.." " Write to us, let us know how you are." " Take this, Olmo." " See you soon!" " Good trip." " Cover yourself!" "Mrs., today I have something new to tell you." "A true story!" "Wait." "Wait." "Attila wanted to sell Olmo." " Sell him?" " Yes." "He bought a new tractor and Olmo and the horses aren't needed anymore." "So he wanted to sell them to a merchant." " Nobody helped Olmo?" " Yes, all did!" "Everybody!" "All!" "Then it started snowing!" " What?" " Yes, to snow shit!" "So much shit on Attila!" "In his eyes, in his mouth, on his bald head!" " Nothing on Regina?" " No, because she wasn't there, otherwise..." "Anche the horses helped too!" "They kept shitting!" "They even made him a mask of shit!" "Then the farmers got scared and Olmo had to escape." "Olmo escaped?" "Yes, because Attila will return to take revenge." "Everybody cried." "But was he happy?" "Did you see if he was happy?" " Not, really..." " You are a fool, you are blind!" "Poor Olmo had to leave the house and his daughter." "He wasn't happy." "What can you know of these things..." " Are you leaving too, madam?" " Yes, I'm going away and I'm happy." "Everyone's leaving." "I don't need them anymore." "I give you all." "Also this." "You also take this." "And this." "This." "This." "And also this." "Mrs., would you give me a kiss too?" "Come here." "Attila!" "Attila!" "Get down at once!" " It's full of fliers in the other room." " I'll take care of it." "Attila!" "He escaped, but in a couple of hours we'll have taken him back." "Who gives you the right to break everything?" " That is a communist, a subversive!" " He's a friend of mine!" "Nice friend!" "He stole your father's gun!" "It took you long to find it!" "So you knew!" "Why didn't you..." "Your services are no more necessary." "What?" "I have dismissed him!" "Did you hear me?" "I have dismissed the farmer!" "I sent away Attila!" "Attila will go away!" "Ada!" "I know I shouldn't come here, but today an important thing happened." "I wish I did it before, but..." "I made it, I dismissed Attila." "It's over." " The lady has left." " Left?" " Where did she go?" " Madam won't return." " Where did she go?" " She won't return." "Answer!" "She said: "Put on that dress, he will understand"." "Drink!"

"Don't move or I'll shoot you!" " Demezio!" " Yes?" " God exists?" " No!" "Attila, does that pig of Mussolini exist?" "Demezio, does the Duce exist?" "No, he doesn't exist!" "Shoot him." "Attila!"
