"Of course, she could go to jail." "He's a married man!" "The dentist needed three stitches in his head." "But the dentist swore at the soldier first." "That's insulting an officer." "We'll all end up in court!" "While we were watching her caboose... the lieutenant and the dentist were riding the train!" "She's either going to the lawyer's or the notary's." "Sure, but what will she do with two old men like them?" " Excuse me." " Come in." "Can I helpyou?" "May I speak to Lawyer Centorbi?" "Please have a seat." "Sir, it's the widow Scordia!"

"Areyou or have you ever been his Fiancee?" "Absolutely not." "How could I be engaged to a married man?" "Why was Cusimano, at that unusual hour... on his way to your house?" "I don't know." "Had he been in your company on previous evenings?" "Yes, once." "Where?" "At my house." "Jumped right in, the dentist did." "He looks stupid, but" "How long did he stay?" "Not long." "What did you do?" "He brought me some medicine for my father." "If it was for your father, why did he bring it to you?" "I don't know." "What did you do after he gave you the medicine?" "He said good-bye and left." "Then why... has Cusimano, a reputable professional... who, five years ago... had the honor of extracting one of il Duce's teeth... publicly declare that he is your Fiance?" "He made that up." "I had nothing to do with it." "Your husband's crazy." "What kind of relationship did you have with Lt. Cadei?" "I'm a widow." "My business and that of Lt. Cadei... are no concern of the law." "All right." "Did you know that, as a result of these affairs..." "Lt. Cadei was transferred to Albania?" "One down." "And before his departure, he was questioned injudicial inquiry." "Clerk." "He declared to have encountered the widow Scordia only twice... in her home... and to have had no amorous relationship... considering their relationship "just a casual friendship."" "Son ofa bitch." "Lt. Cadei was received by my client... and she makes no secret about having had for him... certain feelings." "But unlike the married Cusimano... who was, let's face it, guilty... of a pre-senile dimming of the senses... of an intoxicating kaleidoscope of desires" "What's he saying?" "Unlike the family man Cusimano..." "Cadei is... and was... a bachelor!" "Clever, that lawyer." "He's a bachelor himself." "Careful investigation of the facts tell us, therefore... that the Scordia woman committed no other crime... than that of being ill-fated... alone... and beautiful." "Here is her crime:" "her beauty!" "And from here, the envy... the lies... the disgrace... that have deprived her even ofa father's trust!" "And yet, she herself is still in silent agony... mourning over that unmarked war grave... in faraway East Africa." "In the beating heart ofour argument... is an audacious, but nonetheless valid, thesis... which asks just one question:" "Can a young woman... after the odyssey of a widowhood endured for the love of country... hope for protection in the shelter of a new life?" "Does she have the right to yearn for, and to write... a new ending to her own love story?" "Your Honor... the citizens of Castelcuto reply:" ""Yes!"" "Will Cusimano leave me alone now?" "Of course." "He's been put into a psychiatric clinic." "He wants to volunteer for the Forces in East Africa." "He doesn't realize we lost Africa ages ago!" "But let's forget Cusimano... and the Fickle Lieutenant Cadei." "Let's get to us!" "I know it's not much." "But it's all I have." "They've cut my pension." "Don'tyou understand?" "That's peanuts!" "My fee is much more than that." "You'll never have enough money!" "But how will I ever repay you?" "It's very easy, my sweet." " What areyou saying?" " Be with me, my love!" "I'm in love with you!" "A woman shouldn't be alone during these hard times." "I am a wealthy man." "You won't Find better." "I'll take care ofyour father." "You'll never have to worry again." "I forgive her."

"Refuge esare pouring into the country side and the port towns." "Citizens of these regions have been alerted... to possible severe food shortages and out breaks of disease." "Signora Malena, amore capableperson than me... wrote that the only truelove is unrequited love." "NowIunderstandwhy." "It's been so long since you last came out of your house." "But the longer weare apart, the stronger my love becomes." "They say you'reabout to marry Centorbi, the lawyer." "I know how badly they treat you here... how the womenin the market won't sell you any good food... and no man would hire you for fear of his wife." "But how will you manage to live with a fat, old man... so ugly that no girl ever wanted him?" "They say henever was hes and stinks like a goat." "How will your smooth, white skin... bear rubbing against thes weat of an old man... who never does any thing with out his mother's consent?" "Is it true you're getting married?" "What areyou writing?" "Give me that!" "Let me see!" "Get out!" "Stand up straight." "A little longer, Don Placido." "More room in the waist, for when he gets bigger." "Will they be ready tomorrow?"
